Murasa Quest Continues 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

>Is this because of a specific part of us, or is all of us affected at this point?

>You aren't sure.

> Did  "our issues" about  "we cannot flow as we  should " commence when there were "some things that swam within you, and outside of you.  things you do not remember seeing for a long time, in some cases" or when " we fell " or...?

> Around and within us at that time, what and/or who did we" began feeling & remembering small part of us was once on that land and  " ? What about the other one, a small part of us as well perhaps, where "we fell"?

>No, you were not aware of any such problems when you first began to be aware. You were able to flow and move as you should then. But not now.
>You feel as though you rejoined with the rest of yourself, but...also you have not. Something is not as it should be.

> If we "fell" "flowing as we should" we should " flowed down and rested" on top of another land with different denizens,right ?

> What have we "felt & remembered" when a small part of us "fell"?

[Yaersulf]

>Are we still aware of ourself being Captain Minamitsu Murasa at all?

>You do not know where it is and you do not care. You flow, and you cannot.
>You aren't sure. It was only a tiny amount of time...

>Are we still aware of ourself being Captain Minamitsu Murasa at all?

>You have no idea what that is.
>...
>It's everywhere! It's in your mind, permeating your thoughts! It's seen you! The presence that was here all along, it's in you now!
>...
>You are vast and without form.

> Calm down and focus on our sense of self as "Captain Minamitsu Murasa",and be ready for any opportunity to properly separate

...

> Could "" expel from us a being who has recently entered us" be helping us about "a return to flowing better"?Or does the "being" " have to leave on her own?

[Yaersulf]

>Focus on ourself as Captain Minamitsu Murasa, seperate from this thing we've wandered into.

>This too has no meaning to you.

>It's still all around you, all through you! It doesn't know, you don't think. You can't feel yourself anymore, or rather you can feel everything; everything the water touches. It's hard to focus.

> Keep Focusing on BOTH about who we are as" Captain ,and especially,Minamitsu Murasa"  " AND very specific part of that everything"... ARE WE ABLE TO swim" in a certain direction through what we can feel through the " Touched Water by The Formless One"?

> More Precisely,can we feel " a Clear Enough Water Current Touched by It""

> More Precisely,can we feel "Others In The Water Touched by It" ?

> Keep focusing on remaining self-conscious.

> Keep "feeling through the water for openings or particularities",and for ways to be moving OR be moved

> What is the "density of The Taint here"? No "Water Current to be found"?

.....

> We recalled and felt that "in the past,many beings came within us and then they were gone"...

> How so?Did they  "travel " like the" parts which had temporarily found themselves in different places" ? Did we have any interaction or action or observation regarding them?

[Yaersulf]

>See if from our perspective as Murasa we can feel anything out-of-place in this water-being.

>It's hard, it's like trying to stay awake for five straight days.
>Your sense of touch is just...strange right now. Sometimes you can feel the water and everything it conforms to, other times you can feel nothing.
>The taint...you don't feel it anymore. No, that's not right. You no longer hear or sense it. But you can feel it within you, like wet sand under your clothes. No, not within you yourself, within the water.
>There's more that's unusual, you aren't sure...
>...
>You are vast and without form. Placid and implacable. You rest for a time, but there's further to flow, places to fill. You can almost reach them. There should be no almost.
>...
>You remember yourself, you're Murasa. You don't know how long that was, whether it was a minute or an hour.

> Can we "fish out and focus" on "our Bottom-ed Ladle"?

...

> Most likely we are over-encumbered somehow ,the strangeness within ourselves preventing ourselves to be flowing as we should,thus we should 1st Placidly free ourselves off that.

[Yaersulf]

>See if we can focus harder on the unusual things, and perceive how they differ from the rest of the entity.

>You don't know where your dipper is, ...or if it is, right now. Is it gone? Or just missing?
>You try to focus, and you're starting to understand that what you're feeling isn't...water. Not really. Or rather, it is, but it's had some vital element removed from it...It's...ghostly? No, not quite, but...

> Further Focus&Analyze this " Sort-Of Ghostly Water" ,"Its Vital Removed Element""confronting them with our own "now heightened hostly-spiritual status "....

>...are we able to move around,make it move around ,orient ourselve,or feel "watermarks" by defining&attuning our pace & space but not dispersing them within It "?

[Yaersulf]

>From the point of view of Murasa can we tell how this ghostly nature differs from ourself? Would it be at all similar to something like the prismrivers?

>You don't think you can move. Are you even there to move with? It's kind of worrying to think about...
>Thinking on it, perhaps ghostly isn't exactly the right word. It's not dead; it was never alive to start with. It's more like...bodiless?

> Then...Perphaps...if it is "Bodiless"... try shifting to "more corporeal" so 2e can try to "un-swamp" ourselves?

[Yaersulf]

>Focus on trying to grasp and manipulate the bodiless substance.

>Focus on trying to grasp and manipulate the bodiless substance.

>You don't really...feel yourself well enough to become more or less corporeal.
>You try to grasp onto this formlessness...and you're not sure if it's working. You're not sure if there's anywhere to really move to. No...there is at least one place. The place it's trying to go...which you are reasonably sure is Gensokyo itself.

// We could be tempted and we should really avoid to "Try and Moving to Gensokyo while grasping+using a little bit of Formlessness of the Formless One"...//

//...1 or more Formless Parts could be following,AND Yukari is going to use us as a Timed Focus to safely Gensokyo-Retrieve not just us BUT ALSO TOGETHER with our 3 now trappedteammates,Tojiko,Sakuya,Shou....//

>...

[Yaersulf]

Time to possibly drown Gensokyo \o/

>Try and grasp just the out-of-place substance, and not the rest of the formless water-entity, and usher it towards Gensokyo if we can.

>Try and grasp just the out-of-place substance, and not the rest of the formless water-entity, and usher it towards Gensokyo if we can.

>You try to grasp it, but...it's like trying to grab oil. If the water has become part of you, then the out-of-place substance...the taint you felt earlier, you're certain now, it like filth upon you. ...No, not filth. Oil. It's like someone spilled cooking oil on you.
>...
>Vast and timeless, you rest. You wait. You should not even be able to wait, yet you are. You do not know why. You do not know what it is to know, but you do.
>...
>You aren't sure how long you spaced out, but you feel...somewhat like yourself again, at least able to think for yourself, for the moment.

> Try to hold onto our "bottom-ed ladle "again .

>What is the scenery around us?

> Have they ceased,those bustling noises and sensations we were experiencing after moving further souther the Hallway?

[Kilgamayan]

> Okay, Minamitsu, gotta get and keep a grip.
> Can we see? If so, where are we?

>You...aren't sure if you can see. It's strange. You can...almost picture things in your mind's eye, kind of. If feels like watching a dream. You can't quite grasp what it is, it keeps changing.
>You try to grab your dipper...you aren't sure if you can.
>You don't experience the sensations anymore, but they're still there, like oil on your skin. Though how you can tell that when you don't experience them, you aren't sure.

[Kilgamayan]

> Hmm. So sight is a question mark, hearing 'works' but we're hearing things we shouldn't, touch seems to be working about as one would expect given the circumstances...
> Can we smell anything?
> Can we taste anything?
