Rumia Quest - Innocent Wish

[Neovereign]

>Extend a couple shadows out, one towards a random pebble and another several meters away.
>Attempt the eat and regurgitate method again on the pebble to move it from the first shadow to the second.
>Does doing so feel unpleasant at all?

>Do we remember eating any humans with our darkness

>Try wrap a rock in a darkness sphere and pull it into the darkness without eating it

> Ponder how to define a 'darkness gap'
> A 'darkness gap' would be complete darkness.  What exists in the absence of everything else, a void where even space itself doesn't exist thus leaving it's two ends collapsed onto each other and forming a link between two places.

> Try forming such a void

> You stretch your darkness towards a pebble and another.
> You eat the pebble, then spit it back out at the other spot.
> It does feel unpleasant... These pebbles aren't exactly fruity. It'd be more tolerable to just hold them in your mouth or something...

> You definitely have.
> You wrap a different rock in darkness, just, well, keeping it there.

> The problem with making a void is that there is already something occupying space, well, everywhere. And you aren't quite wise or keen enough to notice the places where there's absolutely nothing either.
> Regardless, you still try.
> Just another area of darkness though. Whatever was there, is still there, just now accompanied by the darkness. Maybe you could swallow up everything inside? That would probably make a void, seeing as the only thing there would be your darkness. But what would keep anything new from getting into that space?

[Philosopher]

>Try to pull the rock wrapped in darkness out of a separate shadow.

>Think of the human you've eaten that least deserved it

>Send a shadow halfway to the human village but off the path and take the appearance of Reimu
>Try to regurgitate the human

>Send a shadow halfway to the human village but off the path and take the appearance of Reimu
>Try to regurgitate the human

>Do not take the appearance of Reimu. That's asking to land us in trouble if anyone found out.
>Take the appearance of a random fairy instead.

//As long as we can give Reimu credit for the person's escape

//Also, I want to gaslight them.
//"Rumia, you mean that weak yokai that constantly hits trees?  What's scary about her?"

[Tom]

// Going for the full Ex-Rumia look

> Conjure up a physical sword out of darkness with a light purple sheen or glow if possible
> Try and form the blade so that instead of cutting it erases or dematerializes anything passing through it

> You try to pull the rock out of a different shadow.
> Though you don't manage. It still seems like it's in the other...

> You spread your darkness out near the shrine's path, and just take a fairy's appearance for now.
> Your attempt at spitting out the previously thought of human doesn't bring anything... Not even bones.

> With that failure, you try something else.
> You form darkness around a danmaku laser and-
> No wait, that's not right.
> You try to form darkness with a physical form in that of a sword in a specific way...
> You aren't sure how to make something that erases something else. But you do know of a few people that are capable of doing such... The supposedly infamous troublemaker, Seija something, and the famous Tengu Reporter, Aya. At least they're known enough in Gensokyo that your sealed form could have heard without meeting them.
> The "bombs" that Reimu and Marisa used might count too? Maybe... Was the priest you recall someone who had an ability like that? No, it was something different. Options options...

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Do we remember even having a sword for that matter?

[Philosopher]

>Re absorb the shadow fairy and resume your sealed form with long hair

>Can we produce the meat we ate earlier
>Try and have our darkness spit out any money we ate on the humans

>Try having our shadow eat danmaku

[Tom]

> Okay let's not get too ahead of ourselves then, for now let's settle for a magical darkness blade that distorts/curves light around it.

> Add quest/task: Dematerialization - Your sealed form has heard of individuals capable of erasing things from existence.  Naturally such an ability would interest the Youkai who thrives in the absence of light.

> It wasn't your main attack method. Though you could still do such.
> You pull the shadow back to yourself and take the sealed long hair form.

> You try, but don't manage. The meat is already gone.
> No money seems to come up either. Nor clothes.

> You fire a bit of weak danmaku and have your darkness eat it up. Doesn't really hurt, but it's not like it has a great taste either.

> You make a darkness blade that keeps light from touching it. Simple enough. You were already keeping light out of your darkness spheres while sealed anyways.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Do we know or remember any sword katas?
>If so do a few in the front of the shrine while we wait. Be mindful of our surroundings.

[Philosopher]

>See if we teleport the danmaku to another of our patches of darkness

>The light that touches our darkness, is it absorbed or reflected?

>Has our hunting shadow found anything?

>The light that touches our darkness, is it absorbed or reflected?

>Has our hunting shadow found anything?

> Nope. Maybe you should've tried to seek that half phantom. Not like it would've ever been useful, you think...

> You try to actually teleport the danmaku to another patch of darkness this time.
> Though such an attempt doesn't work either...
> You usually have your darkness prevent light from getting in. Though if there's already a light source that comes to life within, it will still fail to produce it's light. So you could probably say that light is absorbed.

> Checking with the shadow you sent to hunt, it does not seem to have succeed in finding any yet...

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Frown and dispel the sword for now. We'll work on that later.
>Have our hunting darkness divide and fan out over a larger area to make the search more efficient. If any piece finds something, have the others converge on its location.
>This would also be a good opportunity to determine the limit of the amount of darkness constructs we can control.

[Philosopher]

>Try to have our darkness puke the light it has absorbed

>Try to reassemble the danmaku we ate

>Try to reassemble the danmaku we ate

> You get rid of the sword.
> You try and spread your area of coverage instead.

> Though you try, you don't seem able to regurgitate the light... At least, not that you notice? Maybe it is working? You really can't tell.
> You don't really have anything to reassemble it from. It'd still be inside you, unless you take it out somehow. Otherwise, you'd be creating a new shot instead.

> You spot something in the sky, making it's way towards the shrine at quite the quick pace.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Adopt sealed form sans ribbon (henceforth will be referred to as our "smol form") if we aren't in it already.
>If we can recall all our darkness quickly in a way that won't be noticeable from a distance, do so.
>Look at the sky thing curiously as it approaches.

[Philosopher]

>Spit out the danmaku

> If our hunting darkness cannot be seen in the shadows then have one continue

>Is the sun up?

[Tom]

> Let's absorb it all for now and pretend we're sealed, and try to be more discreet about our abilities for now.  As we recall we only used our darkness powers when we really had to.

> You are, just with long hair.
> You spit the danmaku out successfully from another darkness source.
> You quickly recall the nearby darkness. The hunting ones are in the nearby forest, so they should be fine letting one continue.

> You used your darkness more as a support rather than something to rely on the most. It was still used a lot, but your youkai strength and other things in itself was good enough too.

> The sun doesn't seem to have risen into view quite yet. That you notice, at least.
> You watch the figure speed down towards the shrine, landing.
> Ah yes, the shorty black white. Marisa.
> "Hey, Reimu! You in there?!" The witch ignores you, heading straight inside.

>Discreetly tail her with a microblob of Darkness

[Philosopher]

>Naz

[Tom]

> Feel slightly disappointed at the fact she ignored us

> Can we see or feel the darkness within one's soul? Like how much malice or guilt they carry?

> Feel slightly disappointed at the fact she ignored us

> Can we see or feel the darkness within one's soul? Like how much malice or guilt they carry?

> Well, it's not like you greeted her... At least it wasn't knocking you out of the way, either?
> You don't think you ever tried such a thing. Maybe it's possible?

> You tail the magician with a bit of darkness, watching as she rushes to the room.
> "Uugh... Keep it down... Geez." The shrine maiden responds, turning over in bed.
> "... You've got a visitor. Someone's out there waiting for the oh so popular Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and you're just gonna sleep all day?" Marisa questions.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Be a bit relieved that Miss Reimu seems okay.
>Well at least Marisa saw us...
>Continue to observe.

[Philosopher]

>Has our hunting shadows found anything?

>If we know where Reimu keeps her broom grab that and begin sweeping the path
>Hum an ancient tune forgotten by most humans

[Tom]

> Only sweep if we don't have to go inside to get the broom

> Speaking of our physical strength is it impressive even for Youkai standards? Like would we beat most Youkai in an armwrestling competition?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Only sweep if we don't have to go inside to get the broom

>If we can't get the broom, might as well experiment and send out a few microblobs to "eat" the dust and debris and "regurgitate" it into a neat pile in roughly the same spot we would've swept things to anyway. It would be a good way to see how efficiently we can transport things through darkness.

> The shadows have not found anything. That's a bit strange...
> You believe the broom is indoors. Thus, you start having bits of your darkness eat the dust around the shrine...
> It's not pleasant...

> "I was in the middle of something anyways..." Reimu scratches her head.
> "And that was...?"

[Philosopher]

>Quit cleaning
>Does our mouth feel dirty?

>Think of how you could improve your spellcards while listening in

>Have our hunting shadows search for any animals.
