Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Huh?
> Do we still feel the ribbon on our arm?

[Neovereign]

> ...Huh?
> Do we still feel the ribbon on our arm?

> You do not.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh?"
> Open our eyes.

[Neovereign]

> "Huh?"
> Open our eyes.

> Aya's already out the shrine...
> "She probably won't be two minutes. Unless Rinnosuke has something else to suggest to her." Reimu comments.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Check our now-ribbonless wrist, then sigh.
> "Whatever."

[Neovereign]

> Check our now-ribbonless wrist, then sigh.
> "Whatever."

> The ribbon is gone.
> "You sure seem hard to please. Has anything made you happy today?" Marisa questions.
> "I'm fortunate to get my body back, and have a reason to leave the village corralling to the others." Miko comments. "This might've been quite a headache."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Marisa.
> "It's more that this appears to have been a big waste of time. I could have been doing literally anything else and the outcome would have been no different."

[Neovereign]

> Look to Marisa.
> "It's more that this appears to have been a big waste of time. I could have been doing literally anything else and the outcome would have been no different."

> "Now that's just not true. Alice wouldn't have- Oh crap, you said Rinnosuke was affected as well, right?" Marisa asks. "Aya's not gonna have much success in getting him to identify that ribbon alone, then."
> "Let alone see him..." Miko adds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I definitely told her he was affected. Maybe she has a plan? If not, it's not like she'll take long getting back here."

[Neovereign]

> "I definitely told her he was affected. Maybe she has a plan? If not, it's not like she'll take long getting back here."

> "Well, if Miko's up for it, I could probably get to Kourindou and fix things up like with her and myself." Alice suggests.
> "Sure." Miko agrees.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "He'll probably try to tell you the shop's closed, for what it's worth. But I imagine he won't object to you doing your thing."

[Neovereign]

> "He'll probably try to tell you the shop's closed, for what it's worth. But I imagine he won't object to you doing your thing."

> Miko approaches Alice, and you finally properly see what she's doing. It looks almost as if she passes through the ground, or at least a crack in the floor.
> You wonder if her being a hermit has something to do with it, and if you could too given she mistook you for one...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look at a crack in the ground and consider how we might pass into it.

[Neovereign]

> Look at a crack in the ground and consider how we might pass into it.

> You know your phantom half could, but would it take you to the same place Miko went?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Take on our Youmu form, if for some reason we aren't still taking it on.
> Focus hard on Kourindou, visualizing where it is relative to us and what the interior looks like.
> Then pass through the crack with the intention of traveling there.

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Take on our Youmu form, if for some reason we aren't still taking it on.
> Focus hard on Kourindou, visualizing where it is relative to us and what the interior looks like.
> Then pass through the crack with the intention of traveling there.

> You focus on the shop and it's appearance, and where it is compared to where you are now...
> You then try to pass through the crack Miko used and arrive there the same way.
> ...Though, you just end up under the shrine. What's missing from this method...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Can we see anything? Look around, as well as up.

Youmu:

> "Hmmm, that didn't work..."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Can we see anything? Look around, as well as up.

Youmu:

> "Hmmm, that didn't work..."

> Just dirt. There's still a bit of space underneath the shrine, but it's obviously not well lit.
> "Ah, yeah, that's some trick of hers." Reimu comments. "It's some hermit thing about infinite space or something."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Do any of our techniques make use of infinite space?

[Neovereign]

> Do any of our techniques make use of infinite space?

> You don't believe so. But you can cut things. And really fast sometimes... you're not sure that'd help.
> You wonder if there's any sort of technique to cut space. Surely such a thing exists, and others, but would they move you from one place to another?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Doesn't Komachi do something like that?

[Neovereign]

> Doesn't Komachi do something like that?

> Hers is her own ability, she's probably just naturally gifted in it...
> But what stops you from replicating it? She still slashes with a bladed weapon to initiate it... if you can figure out how to do a similar effect with your capabilities, couldn't you pull it off as well?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I see. I'll have to figure out how it works some time."

Myon:

> As long as we're fully submerged, wander around down here a bit, just to see if we find anything interesting.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "I see. I'll have to figure out how it works some time."

Myon:

> As long as we're fully submerged, wander around down here a bit, just to see if we find anything interesting.

> You don't notice much of note down here. A few leaves, more dirt. A tunnel. Some trash.
> Someone should clean under here, but you don't think many could reach...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Where does the tunnel seem to lead?
> If we took the trash into our body, would we bring it with us as we traveled through the dirt, or would it get left behind?

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Where does the tunnel seem to lead?
> If we took the trash into our body, would we bring it with us as we traveled through the dirt, or would it get left behind?

> Deeper underneath the shrine itself.
> It'd get left behind. You could probably squeeze it with you from out under the shrine if you went there instead of passing through the ground or ceiling t floorboards.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Where does the tunnel down there go, anyway?"

Myon:

> That works. Gather whatever trash we see into our body, and then head out from under the shrine, bringing it all with us.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Where does the tunnel down there go, anyway?"

Myon:

> That works. Gather whatever trash we see into our body, and then head out from under the shrine, bringing it all with us.

> "Tunnel? There's one that leads to old hell if you follow it long enough." Reimu describes.

> You gather the trash and scurry out from under the shrine like a rodent.
> Back in the light, you can see that not all of it is just trash. Something even glimmers for a brief second, bringing your attention to such.
> It appears to be a small chest, with a key already in it's lock.
