Neo Gensokyo Quest

[Neovereign]

Head 2
>Slowly go the steps we use to make a head
->Where did it begin to fail

Aya:

> "I suppose that's true."
> Look to the head.
> "Whatever you're working on with yourself, does it need to be here? Or can I bring you back to the lake? At least with me you can experiment with yourself on the go."

Seki:

> You make another head...
> No dice. It just does not seem to work... Rather, all you've seem to do this time is make a head from your body again.

Aya:

> The flying head seems busy and frustrated...
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Dismiss the extra head that was made

Head 2
>"Just one thing before we go."
->"Miss Yakumo could you share what knowledge you have on my species of youkai?"

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Wait a moment to see if the head actually vanishes.
> While watching the head, try pulling one corner of our mouth to the side, to see how far it'll go.

Head 2

->"Miss Yakumo could you share what knowledge you have on my species of youkai?"

Aya:

> Wait a moment to see if the head actually vanishes.
> While watching the head, try pulling one corner of our mouth to the side, to see how far it'll go.

Seki:

> You dismiss the extra head before the gate guard questions it.

> "You're a youkai known as a Rokurokubi. They're a kind of humanoid youkai that can stretch their necks or even detach their head completely from their body. You seem to be particularly skilled in that you can create additional heads, and even keep one on your body alongside such."

Aya:

> The head persists, still here.
> You pull at your mouth, finding that it doesn't appear to go further than you'd expect...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown a tad.
> "Hey, you, I need to borrow you for just a moment."
> Grab at the head and try to fit it in our mouth.

[Philosopher]

Head 2
>"Hey, what are. . ."

>Give the most deadpan look
->"Right, this is my life now.  Thank you, for the bout of sanity."
-->Accept our fate

Aya:

> You try to stuff the head in your hands in your mouth.
> No dice... Too big.

Seki:

> You feel relieved at the Tengu's failure...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Try again, but this time with the intent of carrying the head inside us, even if it means swallowing it.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Try again, but this time with the intent of carrying the head inside us, even if it means swallowing it.

Aya:

> You try once more, but it's still too much. Perhaps you've been swindled by the youkai sage...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Pull the head away from our mouth and frown deeper.
> "Well, that's unfortunate."
> Look to Yukari.
> "Is it something I said?"

[Philosopher]

Head 2
>"Thank you Miss Yakumo.  That knowledge helps quite a bit."

>"You asked to be able to store inside you.  You forgot about the secondary power to use it, namely opening your mouth enough."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Pull the head away from our mouth and frown deeper.
> "Well, that's unfortunate."
> Look to Yukari.
> "Is it something I said?"

Head 2

>"You asked to be able to store inside you.  You forgot about the secondary power to use it, namely opening your mouth enough."

Aya:

> "The Rokurokubi explained it fairly well. It should work properly if you can get someone in there in the first place." Yukari explains.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> "I had hoped that ability would be part and parcel of the overall request and process."

[Philosopher]

Head 2
>"Could I bother, Miss Yukari, for a body without an owner?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> "I had hoped that ability would be part and parcel of the overall request and process."

Head 2
>"Could I bother, Miss Yukari, for a body without an owner?"

Aya:

> "I had assumed you already had something to take care of that, given what you asked for."

Seki:

> "I don't happen to have such with me." The youkai pours herself another cup.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Don't do the obvious verbal tick, we don't want to be known for that.
> "How much extra would that cost me?"

[Philosopher]

Head 2
>"Aya, may I experiment with your body for a moment?"

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Huh? Uh, sure, I guess. Fair's fair and all that. Just try not to wreck it, I worked hard on looking this good."
> Might as well let whatever is about to happen happen.

[Philosopher]

Head 2
>"I'll try my best."

>Try connecting to Aya's body like we do with our own

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Don't do the obvious verbal tick, we don't want to be known for that.
> "How much extra would that cost me?"

Head 2
>"Aya, may I experiment with your body for a moment?"

> Might as well let whatever is about to happen happen.

Head 2
>"I'll try my best."

>Try connecting to Aya's body like we do with our own

Seki:

> You try to return your head onto Aya's body as if it were your own...
> Just like with Luna, where it feels like you're on her body, it seems to succeed.

Aya:

> "I won't ask much for it. It's just making you be able to open your mouth wider. I've done it for a friend before." Yukari mentions. "But you should be on your way. The moon's almost full and I'd like to go out and watch it myself."
> You feel a brief stinging sensation as the head latches onto you, and a very strange sensation as goosebumps run up your shoulders and neck. Not to mention a brief tingling in your mouth as well.
> It feels like you have a second head, but it disconnects itself before much time passes...
>_

[Philosopher]

Head 2
>Try to move Aya's hands

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Don't resist our body being moved.
> "Well, mouth, throat, stomach, and so on. But if it's easier than what's been done so far, that's good."

[Neovereign]

Head 2
>Try to move Aya's hands

Aya:

> Don't resist our body being moved.
> "Well, mouth, throat, stomach, and so on. But if it's easier than what's been done so far, that's good."

Seki:

> You seem to be disconnected from her body already. In a similar way to with Luna, but not as quickly...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "But yes, once my mouth, throat, stomach, and so on are changed, I'll be on my way to deal with things."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "But yes, once my mouth, throat, stomach, and so on are changed, I'll be on my way to deal with things."

Aya:

> "Have you tried it yet?" Yukari questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Try pulling on our mouth again.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Try pulling on our mouth again.

Aya:

> You pull on your mouth, and the effort starts to move it further than before.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Let go.
> "Neat. Let's try this again, then. Hey, maybe you can do that head attachment thing from the inside."
> Try to stick Head 2 entirely in our mouth again. Close our mouth behind her if this is successful.

Head 2:

> If we do actually get stuck inside this weirdo tengu, try connecting to her body again.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Do we understand why we got rejected from the body?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Let go.
> "Neat. Let's try this again, then. Hey, maybe you can do that head attachment thing from the inside."
> Try to stick Head 2 entirely in our mouth again. Close our mouth behind her if this is successful.

Head 2:

> If we do actually get stuck inside this weirdo tengu, try connecting to her body again.

Seki
>Do we understand why we got rejected from the body?

Aya:

> You try again, actually getting the youkai's head inside your mouth.

Seki:

> You don't know.
> Your attempt seems to fail from within here...
