Rumia Quest - Innocent Wish

[Neovereign]

Prime:
>"I mean, you can't really get more opposite of me than that."

> "Thinking about it a bit more, you're also kind of opposite aren't you?"

> Explain "You like bright and colorful magic, you work really hard investigating these incidents and are human!"

> "How did we even get from an evil you to opposite you? It's not like you're the most good natured person out here."
> You've gotten pretty far from the shrine now.

Owl:
>Put your hands behind your back and create a small darkness orb
->Will the orb to dissolve
-->Do we feel any weaker from doing so or did the darkness making those up simply return to us on its own?


>slowly walk inside

Owl:
> Do that making sure the "owl" does not notice.

> Before entering,observe the inside from outside and poke our head in only if necessary.

> Compare the view of the "ruins" between the inside and the outside.

>If nothing alerting is noticed , do enter but favour floating in over walking in for the time being.

> You make, then unmake an orb.
> You don't notice if it didn't return. Maybe it was too little.

> You peek into the ruins, looking around.
> The main thing of note is a yin-yang orb further inside. Those things Reimu uses. Surrounding it are... strange floating objects, slowly moving side to side.
> The ground is also different. Not like what you're standing on now.

Prime:
>"I mean I wouldn't really consider myself outright evil either."

Owl:
>"Whoa..."

[Philosopher]

Prime:
>"Yokai and humans seem to have different values so what would you consider a good yokai?"

Owl:
>Is the inside dark?

[Tom]

> In response to her comment about us
> "Why do you say that?"

> If we know she's a kleptomaniac
> "I mean don't you like to borrow things and never return em?"

> "I mean don't you like to borrow things and never return em?"

> "I'm just saying not the most good. Definitely not the most evil either. And hey, never hasn't happened yet. You want me to let you down already?"

> A bit.

[Philosopher]

Prime:
>"Never sounds like tomorrow.  Neither will ever arrive."

>About getting down, "If you're getting tired."

Owl:
>Turn into darkness and explore this floor

[Tom]

> "It's not like we choose who we get to be..."

> "Like do you think Reimu chose to be the Hakurei maiden?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Owl:
>If we can, discreetly fork a new process slip a microblob into the interior darkness.

Microblob:
>Merge with interior darkness.
>Can we perceive everything in the ruins by doing so?

Microblob:

>Can we perceive everything in the ruins by doing so?

> "Tomorrow turns into today before you realize it, ya know?"

> You try to merge with the darkness, but something stops you. Maybe it's not actually darkness?
> The owl is still watching you, never letting it's eyes off.
> "Excuse me." You hear Ruukoto's voice from the side within. "You look familiar... May I ask you something?"
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Owl:
>"Ruukoto? Is that you?"

[Philosopher]

>"Yes, but then it is today and not tomorrow," say with amusement.

>smile

[Neovereign]

Owl:
>"Ruukoto? Is that you?"

>"Yes, but then it is today and not tomorrow," say with amusement.

>smile

> "Things change all the time. Tomorrow becomes today, while something new becomes tomorrow. If you want more lessens on that, ask Patchouli. She prides herself on memorizing the days of the week and such."

> "Surely you're someone I know, if you know me." The green haired girl comes into view, though her arm is fine now!
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>Look around.

Owl:
>Confirm visually that it's actually Ruukoto this time and not some other green haired person before doing any of the following.
>"Hey! Your arm's all better now. I'm still sorry about what happened the last time we met."
>Smile
>"Anyway, don't you remember me? It's me, Rumia! The Hakurei Shrine Maiden was able to safely remove my ribbon."

[Philosopher]

Prime:
>"That's true. I never took you for the philosophical sort."

Owl:
>If we're just darkness
->Take on the shape of our sealed form

> You're near the village. You should probably start flying if you want to get to the bamboo forest faster. Or tell Marisa to.

> It definitely seems to be Ruukoto. You have little doubt.
> "Ah, yes. And it's alright, I told you my arm would get better." Ruukoto waves said limb. "As for my question, what was that darkness?"
>_

[Tom]

> Primary:
> "Why don't we fly towards the bamboo forest? It looks like it'd be faster"

> Secondary:
> "Well I'm the darkness Youkai so naturally it's dark around me~!"

[Philosopher]

>Tom

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Secondary:
> "Well I'm the darkness Youkai so naturally it's dark around me~!"

>Dont say this.

//Not sure if she's referring to what we attempted or the darkness around the shrine from when we woke up.

>Instead:
>"Could you be a little more specific? Because there's darkness all around us from the looks of things."

> "Well, it's not going anywhere, but sure." Marisa sets you down, retrieving her broom from... her clothes?

> "Well, all the animals either ran or hid from whatever happened at the Hakurei Shrine. And the fairies are getting weird ideas. Like if the god of the Hakurei Shrine decided to go evil or something. Was it your doing?"
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>"...I'm not going to ask where you've been keeping that."

Owl:
>"A-Ah... you mean that... Basically I took a nap after having the ribbon taken off, and while I was asleep the power being sealed by that ribbon sorta rushed back to me, which kinda lead to my darkness leaking out as a side effect. I brought it back to me as soon as I noticed, though, and it thankfully didn't seem to be harmful outside of just being scary... Hopefully it shouldn't happen again now that I have a leash on it... Anyway, sorry about that, must've been pretty scary for you, huh?"

[Philosopher]

Prime:
>Have our mouth form a thin line
>Glance at the broom

Owl:
>Sheepishly laugh
>"It's a little embarrassing."

[Tom]

> Ponder what she mentioned about the Hakurei god, what if that's us!?

> When we completely merge with the shadows do things like heat or cold affect us? Do we even have to breathe or could we explore the murky depths of Misty Lake no problem?

> The broom doesn't look back at you. You think.
> Marisa hops atop it.
> "One person limit, aside from special occasions. Besides, you can fly yourself anyways."

> "Well, not for me. There are some that are skeptical if it's safe to leave you be, though."
> "That would be us..." Another female voice speaks from deeper within the ruins.

> Shadows are sometimes cool or warm. And no, you don't have to worry about such a thing.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>"Fair enough."

Owl:
>"Oh?"

[Philosopher]

Prime:
>Follow Marisa

Owl:

>"It was impressive looking, but darkness is hardly dangerous.  It is those who take refuge in dark that are the threat."

[Neovereign]

Prime:
>"Fair enough."

Owl:
>"Oh?"

Prime:
>Follow Marisa

Owl:

>"It was impressive looking, but darkness is hardly dangerous.  It is those who take refuge in dark that are the threat."

> You start following after Marisa.

> "That sort of person is you, right? With what you did at the shrine, we'd like to run some... tests. You don't mind right?" The voice questions. "Well, you're already in our home. You're going to whether you like it or not."
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Owl:
>"It depends on the test, really. Ruukoto seems nice enough, so if you're her friend I see no harm in cooperating... Though there are certain things I won't agree to... Mainly if they involve anything like permanent confinement or suppression..."
>Be ready to dissolve just in case, but don't actually do it yet.

[Philosopher]

Owl:
>"You are aware you can get more out of a person by being nice, right."

>"Open up with an offer tea and snacks.  Get me invested, then rile up my curiosity so I voluntarily take the tests."

>Can we feel the darkness in Ruukoto's friend?

[Neovereign]

Owl:
>"It depends on the test, really. Ruukoto seems nice enough, so if you're her friend I see no harm in cooperating... Though there are certain things I won't agree to... Mainly if they involve anything like permanent confinement or suppression..."

>Can we feel the darkness in Ruukoto's friend?

> You can not. You know there's at least a bit there though. It just feels like it's just out of reach. Like something's in the way, or blocking it. Or maybe it's concealed.
> The surrounded yin-yang orb along the way there, however, is almost repelling darkness around it...

> "Maybe you haven't tried the alternative far enough. And why would I be nice when you're already in our clutches? Ruukoto isn't our friend either. We're just using her to- ah? What, that's not all of her?" The voice questions. "What do you mean, she's clearly-... That's fine. It's better if she runs. We get to hunt her down then! Ah, no no, I'll do it properly, you don't have to butt in."
> The voice clears her throat.
> "Alright, new plan. You gave us a great idea. For Ruukoto's guaranteed safety here, you're gonna guarantee that you're safe. Tests are now out of the question. We want your permanent confinement or suppression. Aren't you a genius, thinking up such?" The voice sounds proud.
> Ruukoto looks back deeper into the ruins, towards the voice in question.

[Tom]

> Primary:
> While flying look around towards the spot where our other self is and make a mental note to take Marisa there later
>

> Secondary:
> Looks like we've found dinner, these people aren't humans, they're monsters!
> We'll try and spare Ruukoto as she was nice to us and is being manipulated
> We need to draw them out of the cave and away from the yin yang orbs.
