Neo Gensokyo Quest

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Thanks."
> Scoop up our two passengers, one in each arm.
> "Welcome aboard Shameimaru Airlines, ladies. Be sure to keep a good grip on your possessions, since we pride ourselves on our unparalleled speed."

Aya:

> You carry the two again.
> "Okay...I should be fine, I'm used to rushing. What about you, Kogasa?"
> "Maybe." She says with enthusiasm.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Does Kagerou presently have any visible animalistic features?
> "Very well. Let's begin!"
> Float up into the air, fly in the direction of the Moriya Shrine at a reasonable speed for about three seconds to the landscape a bit of a distance away from us, and then top-speed it the rest of the way there, doing another stop-on-a-dime arrival. (Make sure to keep a solid grip on our passengers via whatever means necessary; we certainly shouldn't go out of our way to hold anywhere indecent, but if the best grip comes with having a hand close by, well, safety first~)

[Philosopher]

Fairy-head
>"I'm may be in over my head, but I'm  helping using my talents.  Even if it isn't obvious now you may be able to help later."

Aya:

> None you notice.
> You take off, gaining distance from the village, before kicking into high gear.
> You arrive at the shrine again, but with no welcoming crew.
> "uu... i-Im fine." Kogasa gulps.

Seki:

> "What if we do more harm than good, though." Luna asks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Inspect our passengers visually. How are they really holding up?
> "Sorry for the stopover, ladies, but we need to let the residents here know that you've been found."
> Land and head into the shrine on foot, still carrying our entourage.

[Philosopher]

Fairy-head
>"You learn and try to do better."

Fairy-head
>"You learn and try to do better."

Aya:

> Kagrrou is fine... Kogasa is recovering, fairly well.
> You head into the shrine, finding Sanae eating breakfast with her god-.
> ...


> ...
> "So are you like Daiyousei?" Sanae questions.
> "Dai... what?" Megumu is the first to break the impromptu staring contest between you and herself.

Seki:

> "I don't know about strong, but you three could definitely get more skilled." Cirno speaks. "You could probably surprise Marisa if you practice your abilities enough."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Keep our eyes locked on Iizunamaru while speaking.
> "Sorry to interrupt your meal, Sanae. Wanted to let you know I found Kogasa, so you don't need to worry about it further."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>How is our stretching going?

Fairy-head
>Watch the fairies' response to Cirno's words.

Aya:

Seki

Fairy-head

Aya:

> "Ah. Where were you?  Why are you hiding your face? Did someone hurt you?" Sanae asks.
> "N-No. Im just... not... done yet." Kogasa answers.
> "At any rate." Suwako speaks up. "If something this big really is going on, business is the least of our concerns, right?"
> "I suppose..." Both Kanako and Megumu respond. "We do need to learn more about what's going on though. We were in the dark minutes ago, like the rest of Gensokyo likely is." Kanako continues

Seki:

> "So what was up with her trying to eat you?" Seija breaks the silence.
> "It's nothing. I'm glad you came when you did,  though." Hatate answers

> Still tough... she's gone on to more relaxing stretches at least.

> "Would you train us or something?"
> "I don't have time for that. You'll be in the way when the culprit finally arrives."
> "So? Afraid you'll lose with the handicap of dealing with us?" Star taunts
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Still locked. On. Iizunamaru.
> "Oh, that? We're still in the information-gathering stage, though I just got a big lead I'm going to follow up on once I drop these two off."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Still locked. On. Iizunamaru.
> "Oh, that? We're still in the information-gathering stage, though I just got a big lead I'm going to follow up on once I drop these two off."

Aya:

> "A big one?" Megumu questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "A big one, Boss."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "A big one, Boss."

Aya:

> "Well, don't let us keep you. Unless you'd like to take a break to eat with us. The shrine maiden has come up with something nice." Megumu speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "It would be nice, but I don't want those waiting on me to wait longer than they have to. You know how it is."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "It would be nice, but I don't want those waiting on me to wait longer than they have to. You know how it is."

Aya:

> "That so? Then I'll be trailing behind." Megumu stands. "For my own reasons."
> Given she offered you to stay but now wants to leave with you, you feel like you're gonna be observed and reviewed...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "You sure you can keep up, Boss? I've been doing top speed today, which my passengers here can attest to."
> Heft Kogasa and Kagerou just a little bit for emphasis.
> "If you want, I could carry you as well if they're willing to share a seat. Or, if they're not, you could grab my ankles and hold on tight, I guess."

Aya:

> "Gensokyo isn't large enough for me to be too far behind. I don't want to get in their way. And you should be careful not to let someone see something of yours you wouldn't want them to see."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, I had assumed you'd just look somewhere else."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, I had assumed you'd just look somewhere else."

Aya:

> "...i would. But most wouldn't have such courtesy..." She advises.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Adopt the slightest of grins at Iizunamaru's pre-response pause. Based on that pause, and her expression and posture, does it seem like perhaps she had considered looking at something she shouldn't?
> "Most don't get the same accommodations offered to them that the boss gets. But don't worry, I hear what you're saying. Whenever you're ready."
> Turn around and walk back out of the shrine, to a distance far enough away that sudden bursts of hurricane-force winds won't bother it. (We've already observed that we can get pretty gosh-darned close with those with this building.)

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>Continue stretching

Fairy-head
>"What abilities do you three possess?"

Aya-head
>"She is a - peculiar individual."

Fairy-head

Aya-head
>"She is a - peculiar individual."

Aya:

> You're the fastest girl in Gensokyo. A momentary pause like that tells you enough. She wouldn't have resisted stealing a peek, though it likely wouldn't last more than a second or two.
> You think your air force usually gets negated by Kanako herself. Though you wouldn't put it past her making the shrine safe from such too - especially given the Hakurei Shrine's lack of such capability. Either way, you take the two girls out of the shrine.
> "Haah... I thought she still would've been asleeeeep!" Kogasa sighs.
> "You thought fast at least." Kagerou priases. "I don't think she saw your hair. You're still not ready yet, either?"
> "Not yet..."

> "Ready whenever." You hear Megumu behind you.

Seki:

> "Aren't we all peculiar individuals?" The inch sized woman questions.

> "Luna Child. I can mute sounds. The ultimate hide and seek ability." Luna says.
> "Sunny Milk. I can control sunlight, which means invisibility! The real ultimate hide and seek ability." Sunny boasts.
> "Star Sapphire. I can detect moving things." Star explains plainly...

> You continue stretching, feeling something flow by you. Through you? Like energy? Or a breeze? Either way,  it tingles just slightly, and only goes one way. Hm... couldn't have been a breeze.
> "Getting better. Keep at it." Meiling encourages calmly.
> Hm... breeze. Feels weird to think. Why... breeze. Breeze breeze.
> Breeze... despite the wind being pretty weird and tame with this whole Gensokyo deal, you kinda feel... drafty?
> ...
> . . .
> You... you realize you really, REALLY shouldn't be stretching like this outside given your state of dress... how could you forget...
> You feel like you're gonna die... but at least no one noticed... yet?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Hold on tight, ladies, we're headed to our destination now."
> Zip off at top speed back to the Shining Needle Castle, once again stopping on a dime. (Make note of how long it takes Iizunamaru to show up after we arrive.)

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Seki:
>Abort! Abort!
>Does it seem like anyone saw?

[Philosopher]

Seki:
>OK, take a minute to let the flush drain from our face
->Do stretches that won't expose us

Aya-head
>Raise an eyebrow at the inchling's comment
->"I believe that shoving crows into a floating dismembered head is a bit more peculiar.  . ."
-->Head turns a little red
--->" . . .Than most. "

Fairy-head
>"That. . ."
->Head turns a little red
-->"Those  are impressive abilities."

Aya:

> You start for the castle at your usual top speed...
> And stop when you're within range of it, just a bit away from the group you left - though not enough to send them flying.
> It takes your boss a few seconds after your stop to make it to you. Definitely much better than Momizi, and pretty impressive.
> No, wait, she's actually using her wings. Still impressive, but it wouldn't compare much if you did the same.

Seki:

> You stop and sit down!
> You need a moment to calm down from almost destroying your image... You don't believe anyone saw...

> "You'd be surprised what others have done, or at least considered." She replies.

> "What's yours?"
> "I think she's gonna shoot lasers from her eyes. It looks like she's charging..." Sunny points out.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Fly the rest of the distance at a normal-person pace.

[Philosopher]

Aya-head
>Float down to the floor

Fairy-head
>"Making my head float."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Fly the rest of the distance at a normal-person pace.

Aya-head
>Float down to the floor

Fairy-head
>"Making my head float."

Aya:

> You fly the rest of the way regularly.
> "Oh. You managed yo find her." Shinmyoumaru says as you approach.

> You descend to land on the castle's... floor? Ceiling?

> "Thatd make you smaller for hide and seek, at least." Sunny observes.
