Neo Gensokyo Quest

[Neovereign]

Aya:

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

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."
->Glance at the three fairies

Aya:

> "Because I can keep myself out of this trouble if I really needed to." Seija boasts. "I don't have any reason to try and help anyone else. That's just another way I can go about resolving this for myself."

Seki:

> "I don't really notice anything about the fairies, but-"
> "Yeah, we can ask Daiyousei. You said it already." The wolf tengu speaks. "This is really annoying when you don't get what everyone's talking about..."
> "It's just people being unsure and repeating things they've already said." The kappa replies. "I'll make sure you don't have to experience that in the game, too..."
> "Ah, thanks."
> "We'll go ask Dai ourselves then. She'll just say Luna's probably sick anyways, just like we think." The orange fairy starts off for the rest of the lake area.
> Which the other two follow suit.

Aya:

> Glance from Seija, to Himekaidou, to Seija, to the inchling, back to Seija.
> Sigh.
> Bring the head back in front of us and hold it from below, uncovering its ears.
> "Fine. Your terms are accepted. What can you tell us?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Seki:
>"Should I have a head go with them in case this Dai person does know something?"
>If nobody objects, do so.

Aya:

> "Huh. So you do think you're better to handle. Well-"
> "You aren't really gonna leave them to deal with this, are you?" Shinmyoumaru questions. "I object!"
> "It's their choice though, not yours."

Seki:

> "Well, we're right here anyways." Sakuya says.
> You start to follow the fairies.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I don't know that I'm necessarily better-equipped to handle it than you or anyone else, at least when it comes to execution. But given Hata here doesn't seem to be directly affected, I can pretty confidently assume no one that is directly affected is better at information gathering and consolidation than me, so that's what I'm focused on contributing to putting a stop to this."

Aya:

> "Huh. So there's actually some who are aware."
> "Yeah, you should give them one for free, right?" Shinmyoumaru speaks.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I've found a few, yeah. One is leading another investigative team elsewhere."
> Show off the head we have.
> "You recognize this fine woman? Her main body is with that other group, so we can relay messages back and forth."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Seki (Ayahead):
>Do we know/recognize Seija?

Seki (Lunahead):
>"Mind if I tag along?"

[Philosopher]

Seki (Ayahead):
>Can we read anyone's lips?

[/(^o^)/Fuwayuru]

Araya, stop buying kilts.

I unhinged it.

Seki (Ayahead):

Aya

> "Well, you're not going to be able to find anything down here. If it's not obvious by the supposed disappearance of the moon, those Lunarians are up to something. Given no one's noticed or done anything, aside from apparently a few of you guys, it's safe to assume whatever they're doing is already underway, or already finished."
> "Oh, yeah. I know her. You're Sekibanki, right?" The Inchling questions. "I'm Shinmyoumaru. I've heard of your group from a couple of your friends."

Seki:

> You believe you do. She was a criminal or something...
> Your ears aren't covered anymore.

> "So, do you know where Dai hangs out?"
> "...Nooo...?"
> "Should we just look around, then?"
> "We're bound to find her around here. She always is. I think."
> "She's usually with Cirno, isn't she?"
> "I thought it was Lily she was always around."
> "Gah, either way, she should be near the lake!"
> "I don't see her anywhere, though..." The fairies chatter.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>What is happening at the gate?

(Fairyhead)
>"Let's just find this Cirno and see if Daiyousei is with her."

(Aya-head)
>"I'm Sekibanki, yes.  It is an honor to meet you princess." 

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod while writing notes.
> "Good, that lines up with one line we wanted to pursue. We'll need to prioritize that now."

[Neovereign]

Seki:
>What is happening at the gate?

(Fairyhead)
>"Let's just find this Cirno and see if Daiyousei is with her."

(Aya-head)
>"I'm Sekibanki, yes.  It is an honor to meet you princess."

Aya:

> Nod while writing notes.
> "Good, that lines up with one line we wanted to pursue. We'll need to prioritize that now."

Aya:

> You take note.
> "What, you're just going to recklessly try and reach the moon?" Seija questions.

Seki:

> "I thought you didn't want to meet anyone. Mm... I still doubt I should ask that since the other two declined..."

> The maid is gone. The kappa and the wolf tengu appear to be setting up something.

> "I guess..." The fairies agree, leading you to the ice fairy's home.
> Cirno appears to be sleeping inside. No sign of any other fairy though.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "No, I think our next destination is going to be the Bamboo Forest."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "No, I think our next destination is going to be the Bamboo Forest."

Aya:

> "So, Lunarians and purity." Hatate nods. "Do you know which of them? And why?"
> "Nope."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Is there anything else you're willing to share with us, then?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Lay against the gate

Aya-head
>"I usually don't."

Fairy-head
>"Hello!"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Is there anything else you're willing to share with us, then?"

Seki
>Lay against the gate

Aya-head
>"I usually don't."

Fairy-head
>"Hello!"

Aya:

> "It's better to prepare and wait for something big than waste energy trying to reach and strike them first."
> "... You want us to sit around and wait for them to win...?"
> "Yep. Hell, I might even help you ready a counterattack if you do. Might."
> "Then our option is probably better..." Hatate looks to you.

Seki:

> You rest against the gate.

> "Nnn... what is it?" The ice fairy asks.
> "Do you know where Daiyousei is, Cirno?"
> "Huh? Nuh uh. She hangs around the mansion more, but I think she was gathering fairies for something. Have you tried calling for her?" The ice fairy sits up.
> "Uh... no..."
> "Idiots." She lays back down.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Keep taking notes on the discussion.
> Without looking up from our writing: "What's your asking price?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Have all the heads twitch at the insult

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Keep taking notes on the discussion.
> Without looking up from our writing: "What's your asking price?"

Seki
>Have all the heads twitch at the insult

Aya:

> "Don't pursue them yet. If you do, some calamity is bound to strike. No doubt they're prepared to deal with anyone who gets in the way. But I doubt they're anticipating anything after they "win", especially if they don't know anyone was preparing for it."

Seki:

>  You feel a bit annoyed...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod (while still paying visual attention to our notebook).
> "A reasonable strategy. Would visiting the Bamboo Forest conflict with this approach, do you think?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Nod (while still paying visual attention to our notebook).
> "A reasonable strategy. Would visiting the Bamboo Forest conflict with this approach, do you think?"

Aya:

> "Don't know. Maybe if you hide your intentions well? Or just go about it like a regular visit."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Mmm. Just to be sure, you think they're in on it, as opposed to those currently on the moon operating independently of anyone here?"

[Philosopher]

Fairy-head
>"Thank you."

>"Daiyousei may know about the incident as well."

Aya-head
>"And goals do they need to accomplish before they feel they've secured victory?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Mmm. Just to be sure, you think they're in on it, as opposed to those currently on the moon operating independently of anyone here?"

Fairy-head
>"Thank you."

>"Daiyousei may know about the incident as well."

Aya-head
>"And goals do they need to accomplish before they feel they've secured victory?"

Aya:

> "Huh? I don't think so? Aren't they like exiles or something? And I also don't know what they need to do."

Seki:

> "Let's.. call her, then."
> "Daiyousei!" The orange one yells.
> "Daiyouseiii!" The blue one joins in.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Well, they have done something similar in the past, in thinking about it."

[Philosopher]

Fairy-head
>Make eye contact with Luna
->Look for an unusually large gathering of fairies

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Well, they have done something similar in the past, in thinking about it."

Fairy-head
>Make eye contact with Luna
->Look for an unusually large gathering of fairies

Aya:

> Seija shrugs.

Seki:

> You look around, but don't see much...
> ... You hear the ice fairy chuckle...
