Sakuya Quest - Alternative Grace

[Neovereign]

> You are Sakuya Izayoi...
> "She didn't even bat an eye! She didn't even give us the time of day!"
> And you've lost count.
> "I doubt anyone knows the time of day. It's been super dark for forever now!"
> Of how many times you've tried.
> "Why did we even bother with her. That stupid princess only has rabbits on her mind."
> To break free from this.
> "Uh, Miss Sakuya? What do we do now? We put all we could into that... I swear we almost got Kaguya's attention. Twice, even. A third time might've done it, but none of us had it in us to try again..."

> You are the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. A human with the ability to manipulate time itself. Though currently, you're stuck in time... In quite a strange way, too. Your ability isn't working quite properly. At your current location, the Bamboo Forest of the lost, events within have started to... repeat. You havent even been able to leave the forest either.
> There do seem to be certain things you can interact with and influence a little... but nothing you've managed yet.
It starts the same, in the forest at night, with that pitch black dark sky... And stays that dark for the morning and the night after, before you return to the previous day...

> You are with a few fairies who don't seem to be under the repeating actions of this day... Yet the usefulness of such has yet to be seen.

>How did things come to this?
>Do we know these fairies' names? Do they seem like good recruit potential for the maid force? Do we have a basic assessment of each?
>How did we end up under the employment of our mistress? Do we recall our prior life and/or occupation before serving our charismatic and glorious scarlet overlord?
>What is our relationship towards Meiling? Do we dislike her for being a slacker, or are we a tsundere?
>...Do we wear pads?

//Wait a minute, are you telling me Immo Quest and Rumia Quest were actually connected?

//Wait a minute, are you telling me Immo Quest and Rumia Quest were actually connected?

> You don't recall.
> You do not. Most fairies are good potential if it's you training them.
> You hardly ever remind yourself of such or talk about it. You see no reason to think back now.
> She's a youkai working for Remilia. She does her job better than you believe anyone else you know could. You both have respect for each other.
> You do not.

//I will neither confirm nor deny that ooc. It's something you'll have to figure out on your own if you even want to. Hopefully it's done better than how getting to know who the white haired woman was done. Consequences for certain actions? In a quest? Surprising, huh? At least if you've been following, assumptions seem to be dangerous to make or dig into on purpose before they're revealed.

//Well I hope it's just coincidental, because otherwise it would mean all actions taken in Immortal Quest would've been functionally pointless and that Rumia was railroaded into causing the dark sky over the forest seen both here and at the end of Immortal Quest and I'm not sure how I'd feel about that.

>Have we determined a likely cause for the loops?
>How have our powers been affected?
>What methods have we tried to break free thus far?

>Have we determined a likely cause for the loops?
>How have our powers been affected?
>What methods have we tried to break free thus far?

> It could be Kaguya herself having done something to your ability. You recall her and the Imperishable Night incident, after all. The rabbit... probably can't cause an illusion this big, nor for this long. The other rabbit and the archer don't have any likely abilities capable of this either.
> You yourself don't feel too strange. The important parts of your ability all work, but when it comes to what's looping, you can't do a thing to them. Not slowing down time, nor stopping it will prevent the day from continuing, yet they will affect knives you throw, or the people that you can interact with here.
> You've tried stopping time for as long as you can, but that didn't help. The forest can't be left either. It doesn't seem like Kaguya or anyone notice you or your attempts, so they probably can't help you.
> The fairies say she almost reacted to them, but that could've just been a fluke. If they're right though, maybe you can affect them with your ability?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Any reason why we've sent the fairies out in our stead instead of confronting Kaguya on our own? Are we testing them for maid material?
>Have we tried talking to Eirin yet? Surely if anybody can get Kaguya's attention other than Mokou, it's her, right?
>How much has our sanity deteriorated over the loops?

>How much has our sanity deteriorated over the loops?

> You're here with them too. And you haven't been able to get her attention yet, so...
> You haven't.
> Not much. This would probably be worse if you knew what got you into this in the first place...
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Do we have all our spellcards with us or only a few?
>As a sanity check these are wild fairies and not SDM maids we took with us for whatever reason, right?
>Wonder how much time has advanced outside the forest.
>>Hope our Mistress is managing well with only the fairy maids to attend to her.
>>Is our Mistress the type to express concern or worry over a prolonged absence or would she not care and simply assume we'll return whenever? Or replace us if she assumed we were deceased?

> As you believe everyone with spellcards does, all of your spellcards are available for use any time. Having to use an amulet with the details on it every time would be troublesome for some youkai, after all.
> They are not from the mansion, you're pretty sure of that.
> If time is even advancing, you hope not too much has gone by.
> Remilia should be fine, if a bit bothered by your absence and things not being as well. The fairy maids are capable enough to keep everything running, unless some disaster strikes. And even then, Meiling has commanded fairies at the gate well enough to fix such cases.
> You believe she'll seek you out. But if any of them can actually get to you like this, you don't know.

> "Maybe we can dig a pit and have her fall into it?"
> "I don't think we can dig anything here. It's like we're ghosts."
> "Then let's haunt her more?"
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Can we truly not affect the environment here?
>What do the fairies look like?

[Neovereign]

>Can we truly not affect the environment here?
>What do the fairies look like?

> You haven't been able to yet.
> You take a glance again...
> They're... they're fairies. Definitely not wearing maid outfits, at least... Not any bigger than your regularly see them.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Have we or the fairies ever tried physically touching someone affected by whatever is going on here?

[Neovereign]

>Have we or the fairies ever tried physically touching someone affected by whatever is going on here?

> Yes. Again, it hasn't done anything.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Is physical contact possible or do we actually pass through them? ("Like we're ghosts" as the fairies say)

[Neovereign]

>Is physical contact possible or do we actually pass through them? ("Like we're ghosts" as the fairies say)

> You seem to pass through.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>That's... mildly disturbing.
>Does danmaku also not affect the environment and/or people here?

[Neovereign]

>That's... mildly disturbing.
>Does danmaku also not affect the environment and/or people here?

> You haven't tried people yet.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Do we know if the fairies tried?
>>If not: "Have any of you tried using danmaku? If not, then I may have an idea."
>We're capable of using danmaku other than knives, right?

[Philosopher]

>Have we tried to see if we can create heat that others can feel

[Neovereign]

>Do we know if the fairies tried?
>>If not: "Have any of you tried using danmaku? If not, then I may have an idea."
>We're capable of using danmaku other than knives, right?

>Have we tried to see if we can create heat that others can feel

> You haven't tried.

> You don't believe the fairies have tried danmaku.
> "Oh yeah. Let's try." One of the fairies takes to the air a bit, and fires a burst down at Kaguya.
> It... Does nothing. She doesn't even bat an eye.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Wait we can actually see Kaguya from here?
>Did it seem to hit her or pass through her?
>If the latter, did it leave any marks on the ground behind?

[Neovereign]

>Wait we can actually see Kaguya from here?
>Did it seem to hit her or pass through her?
>If the latter, did it leave any marks on the ground behind?

> Yes
> The latter you believe.
> No. Though maybe it was too weak?

> As the Perfect and Elegant Maid we are, no matter the situation we find ourselves in, proper care of our figure is of utmost importance. Check it, and make sure everything is in order.
> Naturally, this means to check chest size. Not that we need o make a show of it, but a quick glance to check everything is as it should. All these times we have tried to get free...

[Branneg Xy]

> Consider and Prepare SUGGESTING a Coordinated Focused Curtain-Fire joining Our Own Danmaku and the Fairies,upon Princess Kaguya and in a Circle around her,but before doing and initializing-executing that...

> ...who performed that,what was performed,how,and hich Fairy is relating that..."A Third Time of hat might've done it" indeed?

//I just realized that one of my previous things wasn't answered.

>We're capable of using danmaku other than knives, right?

> Yes, you can use danamku that isn't knives. Anything can be made into danmaku. You're just best with knives anyways.
> With the fairies concentrating on Kaguya, you glance at yourself.
> You're quite slim. Helps you fit into tighter spots to clean better when a duster can't reach far enough. And also well physically fit in general, with how much there needs to be done in a place as large as the Scarlet Devil Mansion. You don't quite match Meiling in either of those areas, But you do constantly have more grace and elegance. Well, constantly that is... She can match you in those when she tries, especially in battles.
> Your chest is also beaten by Meiling's, but again, not by too much. You're fine with what you have, and so far, you don't envy others much.

> You believe both fairies... well, tried what they could. You're not sure what they're abilities are yet, if they even have anything unique, nor what nature they use. They looked like they were just pestering Kaguya.

> You consider raining more danmaku from multiple angles at Kaguya. Well, you haven't tried a heavy curtain. In fact, you haven't even tried a spell card on her or the surroundings. Maybe those could work?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Where are we anyway, since we can see Kaguya? Are we in Eientei proper, or are we at the treeline of the bamboo forest looking in? Are we seeing Kaguya through a window or is she actually outside? ...Are we inside somehow?
>How long has it been since the beginning of the current loop? If we don't know, give the most precise estimate possible, even if it's rough.
>Have we figured out the routine of the others at least since we've been in here a while? Are there any notable events that take place every loop that we've noticed?
>Both fairies? Weren't there at least three with us? (It did say a few in the first post, which implies 3 or 4. If it were only two it would be a couple, so just want to be sure.)

[Philosopher]

>Have the fairies tried to grow plants in such a way as to convey a message?

>How does danmaku feel, hot, cold?

>Have the fairies tried to grow plants in such a way as to convey a message?

>How does danmaku feel, hot, cold?

> Danmaku doesn't have a usual temperature given there's infinite ways to make them.

> The fairies have not. And there are just two of them, not that that matters much. Numbers doesn't seem like it'll help anything here.

> You are near Eientei. Not inside the building, however. Kaguya is outside too.
> You're still early in this loop. It's not day yet. You think...

> You've found that Kaguya talks to a rabbit as early as you can notice in the loop. Then she just... thinks, or something. You would wonder if she was the cause if not for her staying just like this for the rest of the loop...
> You've been focusing on Kaguya, as not much else close by in the forest has been of note. You could check further, but the forest is kinda infinite with you being unable to leave it...
