Neo Gensokyo Quest

[Neovereign]

> How familiar are we with purity in the spiritual/metaphysical sense?

Aya:

> You've heard of the concept a couple of times. You know that Eientei's residents would know the most about it, as well.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "You'd fit. Trust me on that. That's why I keep asking. Please go in."
> Adopt a thinking expression.
> "As for purity...I know enough to know Eientei are probably the local experts on the matter. ...Which would line up with the moon weirdness."

> Adopt a thinking expression.
> "As for purity...I know enough to know Eientei are probably the local experts on the matter. ...Which would line up with the moon weirdness."

Aya:

> "Not sure if my abilities can get anything else to know about... and what do you mean trust you. Have you done it before?"

> You've arrived.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I have a theory I'm pretty confident in. Confident enough that I'm asking this of you even though I already choked once on something smaller than you."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I have a theory I'm pretty confident in. Confident enough that I'm asking this of you even though I already choked once on something smaller than you."

Aya:

> "And you're confident that we'll find something of note better than checking for the Amanojaku first?" Hatate questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "We can do both at once. I can check for the amanojaku while you do the internal investigation. I've already shown I'm not hindered at all by carrying you, after all."

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>Pull our cloak tight around our shoulders

>Are we cold?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "We can do both at once. I can check for the amanojaku while you do the internal investigation. I've already shown I'm not hindered at all by carrying you, after all."

Seki:
>Pull our cloak tight around our shoulders

>Are we cold?

Aya:

> "Have her head check you, then." Hatate points. "She seems to be able to move around just fine, better than a crow would be able to since they have to use their wings. And is smaller. And in an emergency, I can pull her out, whereas only you'd be available to try if I were trying to go in." Hatate reasons.

Seki:

> You wrap your cloak around yourself.
> No.
> The maid continues to lead, while the fairies look around as they follow.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Is there even a part of the head that we could initially get into our mouth to begin such a process?
> "I did consider that, but assuming my theory is right, what makes it work with you doesn't apply to her. I asked for you specifically for a reason."

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>Continue to follow

Head with Aya
>Try to inconspicuously read Hatate's lips

> "I did consider that, but assuming my theory is right, what makes it work with you doesn't apply to her. I asked for you specifically for a reason."

Seki:
>Continue to follow

Head with Aya
>Try to inconspicuously read Hatate's lips

Aya:

> Just the head...
> "Well, will you explain, or will we start looking for Seija?"

Seki:

> You're not facing them. Unfortunately. Aya still has you held away.
> You wonder if you're at the destination or not. They've been going pretty fast, but are stopped now...

> You continue following the maid, reaching the gate of that mansion.
> "Oh? Did you make some friends, Sakuya?" The guard questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I want to, believe me, but I fear explaining the theory to you would end up invalidating it. I've been choosing my words pretty carefully this entire time."
> Adopt a thoughtful look.
> "...I guess I can at least say that, if you want me to stop nagging you about it, all you need to do is believe in me that believes in you and do what I've asked you."

Aya:

> "Not tricking me." Hatate crosses her arms. "Nu uh."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown.
> "I'm not trying to trick you, Hata. If you insist, I will say that's not the only way to get me to stop. But it's the only one I can tell you. Besides, what do you have to lose? The head can't see or hear and there's no one else that'll see, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>"Miss Sakuya invited us to help solve the current incident."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Frown.
> "I'm not trying to trick you, Hata. If you insist, I will say that's not the only way to get me to stop. But it's the only one I can tell you. Besides, what do you have to lose? The head can't see or hear and there's no one else that'll see, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Seki:
>"Miss Sakuya invited us to help solve the current incident."

Aya:

> "Now then, I wonder where she's holed up in there..." Hatate ignores, heading into the inverted castle.

Seki:

> "It's moreso that they may be able to do something about it." Sakuya corrects.
> "Does that mean you're returning early, then?"
> "Not quite. I'd like to know if you notice a pattern or differences between our group here."
> "Hm..." Meiling glances around.
> "Not in outfits... Something significant." Sakuya adds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Follow in irritation.
> "Ugh, come on..."

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>Do we know if Gensoky ley lines?

>"Not species.  Location? Abilities? Spiritual nature?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Follow in irritation.
> "Ugh, come on..."

Seki:
>Do we know if Gensoky ley lines?

>"Not species.  Location? Abilities? Spiritual nature?"

Aya:

> You follow...
> Hatate stops and turns to you.
> "You're not dying yet. So you're alr-"
> "You girls are flying too high past your limit." You hear the familiar voice of Seija, as she appears out of thin air behind Hatate, spooking the poor girl. "Go play back down at the mountain."

Seki:

> You do not know.
> "Just a feeling. I'm not too sure what's specific about it." Meiling responds. "Or maybe, the lack of it among some of you." She feels for herself. "How weird."
> "The redhead and myself, right?" Sakuya questions.
> "Yeah, just you two."
> "Not Luna?" The orange fairy questions.
> "I don't think so. You might have better luck asking Daiyousei about fairy problems." Meiling recommends.
> "Well, this isn't really about their problems..." The kappa looks aside.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Immediately return to our default professional demeanor.
> "Oh, perfect, exactly who we wanted to see. How are things?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Immediately return to our default professional demeanor.
> "Oh, perfect, exactly who we wanted to see. How are things?"

Aya:

> "I've got bigger things to worry about than an interview. Buzz off, and don't eat my castle."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Are those bigger things related to how everything is existentially wrong?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Are those bigger things related to how everything is existentially wrong?"

Aya:

> "Yes. Given you're more concerned about lunch though, you should check the base of the mountain for that harvest goddess."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "We're here to figure out how to fix it, because I'm already tired of feeling it. Hata here has info that suggests you're a particular person of interest in that regard."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "We're here to figure out how to fix it, because I'm already tired of feeling it. Hata here has info that suggests you're a particular person of interest in that regard."

Aya:

> "Not much sign of the culprit yet. So not much can be done right now..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Then let's at least exchange notes, so that maybe we have separate pieces we can put together. What have you learned so far?"

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>"Luna is like Reimu in that case."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Then let's at least exchange notes, so that maybe we have separate pieces we can put together. What have you learned so far?"

Seki:
>"Luna is like Reimu in that case."

Aya:

> "I don't need you ruining my plans."
> "Isn't she pretty strong though?" You hear another voice, as that Inchling pops out of Seija's outfit.
> "I thought I told you to stay quiet?"
> "Give them a chance!"
> "...If I tell you what I know, then I'm not helping out in this whole thing afterwards. You can go at it yourselves." Seija reasons.
> "What?!"

Seki:

> "Ask the one who knows more about fairies." The gate guard shrugs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown a bit.
> "Why would you willingly back off from helping end whatever this is? Do you want to keep feeling this way?"

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>"I have my doubts in this case, but it is a possible lead.  She probably is affected like everyone and can tell like Reimu."

>"Though that raises the question of why the others can't tell."
