Doll Quest - Foundation

[Branneg Xy]

> You and the others stay on guard. Byakuren is the first to relax.

> You float over to the unconscious human. When you approach; she stirs, opens her eyes, and suddenly sits up.

> "Merry?!" she says, before she groans and holds her head, looking around.

> Reimu immediately rushes over to the girl.

> "Merry? Is that the girl in purple?"

> "W-who are you?" the girl stammers, clearly quite distressed.

> "Is she a blonde girl wearing purple?!" Reimu says in an irritated tone.

> "Y-yes, but where is she? Where am I? What happened? The last thing I know Merry suddenly stopped speaking, and I turned to check on her and she had this strange look on her face and... I don't remember after that..."

> "You are unable to remember further because both.you and your friend were found and brought here unconscious for safety,but maybe if you. can manage to recall what were you doing before instead of thre after we could all get a clearer picture".

> "We were heading for a clearing where we could stargaze while having a picnic..." the brunette girl says.

>In a level-headed tone,respecting if.she needs some.pause to.wrap here head around enough:> " I see, and.sorry for the suddennees,but it is to not lose time.at the.disantvage of all present here,more, and your friend Merry....on top of it,  we all had here a rough surprise adding as a of the Recent Mystery Case ...

> The girl listens.

> "Uhhh... I don't know my way around very well, and I've never been here before."

> Unzan taps Ichirin's shoulder and whispers to her.

> "Unzan knows where he found them." Ichirin says. "We can take you there if you want."

> You thank the monk and the... whatever Unzan is.

> "I must stay here and prepare for the morning sermons at this point." Byakuren remarks. "Shou should be waking up soon, and she should be more than capable of assisting me should that strange girl return."

> Reimu grumbles. "I wish we'd been able to stop her here so I could have just gone home. But I guess I should see the site where this human was when this kicked off."

> "I'm coming too." Reisen adds. "Master told me to investigate so she could do her job."

> "I will stay here for the sermons." Narumi remarks. "Besides; flying is quite tiresome as a statue after all."
 
> "Very well." Ichirin says, before she leads the way out of the temple. Everyone takes off... before Unzan whispers something.

> Ichrin stops and turns around, seeing the human still on the ground.

> "Oh. She can't fly." Ichirin said. "It'll take much longer for us to reach it on foot at a human's pace. What sort of mess did that human get into if she's so regular... and why's she got such a freakishly powerful friend?"

> You can see dawn starting to break.

> " It is not their fault though,or at least only partial,since they very likely had no clue or means to avoid being exploited.by The Culprits,or Culprits,in their Grimoire-Stealing Plan,especially the other human who is called Merry..."

> "Yes,going by foot-pace going to slow us down, but since we need her with us in this search,and she needs protection as a,so farrnormal human ,and unless some among us can somehow carry her by flight safely...".

> After landing,look at the Brunette Human to see how is she reacting and proceeding.

> "Resolveing incidents is my job." Reimu retorts. "The failure is mine. I should have paid more attention and used a different seal. Although to think a human could have powers like Yukari..."

> "Don't you have some similar powers?" Reisen asks.

> "That is just simply barrier spells I cast, it's nothing like Yukari's control over Boundaries." Reimu retorts, clearly not too happy with the lunar rabbit's question.

> You float down to the human, who looks equal parts concerned and cautious.

> Ichirin says something to Unzan, who floats down, forming a giant hand; the size of the human. When the hand approaches Renko; she flinches and takes a step back from it. Unzan's face does look a little intimidating...

> "Can't you try and carry her with your ability?" Reisen asks. "How far is it anyway?"

> "Unzan says it's not too far, but I'm not sure how that little doll could carry that human. She's at least seven times her size."

> Was Reisen's request to carry the Brunette Humam directed at us or at Ichirin&Unzan?

>Clear that doubt by answering.

>Reassure the Brunette Human that this is A Faster Safe Method to Carry her with us in Fly. to the Loc. where the 2 of them.where found&recovered from by the same.Ichirin&Unzan her.

> Reisen makes it clear she was talking about you; especially given the human backed away from Unzan. She doesn't do this vocally; she just looks at you and nods.

> "I understand it's faster to fly, but... a cloud? I'll just fall through that." the girl says. Her voice makes it clear however she's also a bit scared of the Nyuudou.

> "If you're so worried about that, I'll make sure you won't fall." Reimu says.

// I am.waiting,but it is not obligatory for the " eventual participant players, new or.returning ones" ,for Renko to be more at ease for Introductions+Brief Deacription,though it couks also.be postponed(even greatly)if "the direct investigation requires a just precedence over  presentations//

> "Wait, you're the one who carried me here?" Renko asks the cloud.

> Unzan, you think, nods. It's a bit hard to tell when his entire body is a face. Unzan then grips Renko with both hands, and lifts her off the ground.

> Renko looks afraid, but dosen't struggle.

> Ichirin and Unzan lead the way.

> Trace or Track the Route from the Myourenji and its Environs to the" Current Loc. Of The Found & Rescued".

> If it is not improper or an hindrance or Reisen object,perch on Reisen's shoulder to travel & look-out as a closer-knitted group.

> If it is not improper or an hindrance or Reisen object,perch on Reisen's shoulder to travel & look-out as a closer-knitted group.

> You perch on Reisen's shoulder. This takes her by surprise, but she dosen't stop you.

> It dosen't take long for Unzan and Ichirin to descend to a rather unremarkable part of the woods, with Unzan putting Renko down.

> Aside from the grass and trees, there is a stream flowing through the area. Renko walks over to a basket and pick it up; opening it and grumbleing.

> "Someone ate the food we brought." she complains. "We worked hard making those sandwiches..."

> "Probobly some fairies saw it unprotected and did it." Reimu remarks; sounding rather uninterested in the missing food.

> "I suppose that's where you two were when it happened? By the bank of the stream?" Ichirin asks.

> "I'd just gone ahead a little bit and found this spot, and when I turned around, Merry was all... stiff, with a void look in her eyes. And then... I don't remember past that. I think something knocked me out." Renko explains.

> "And you didn't hear any struggle or anything?" Reimu asks.

> "Merry can't fight!" Renko exclaims.

> "She absolutely can!" Reimu yells back, sounding frustrated. "Her powers are incredible! She's the one who got you here after all; isn't she? With powers like her, defeating her is almost impossible! No way someone could have done something to her without any resistance!"

> "... You're saying Merry did this on her own?" Renko asks; in a shocked tone. "She'd never attack me!"

> "If she's anything like Yukari; I wouldn't trust her as far as I can throw her." Reimu snapped back.

> "Who is this Yukari anyway?!" Renko asks, sounding paniced.

> A figure suddenly leaps from a tree branch; doing multiple rapid somersaults in the air, before landing between Renko and Reimu.


> Chen
> Cheerful Ill Omen

> "Oh my, Lady Ran asked me to come and check this place out, and here I find the Hakurei Maiden yelling her head off with an outsider and three youkai." the cat remarks.

> Reimu pulls out her needles; and Reisen suddenly tenses up. Ichirin and Unzan do not seem to react to this newcomer however.

> "Spill the beans; Chen. What's she up to?" Reimu demands. "Nothing's ever good when you are involved."

> "It seems whatever happened to Renko's friend has drawn the attention of people other than us." Reisen remarks.

> You cannot see anyone else around except Chen. The woods aren't that thick; so you're fairly confident that no-one else is nearby.

> "I guessing by "she" you mean Yukari. I'm sure you of all people know Reimu that I don't get my orders from Yukari. Ran is my Master. I hardly even see Yukari; let alone know what she's up to."

> Reimu scowls. "Don't play dumb, Ran is Yukari's servant and doesn't have any sort of independent thought beyond doing what Yukari commands her. What Ran commands is what Yukari commands."

> "And what if Yukari commanded Ran to use her own judgment?" Chen replies calmly. "She's been wanting Ran to act independently so she can sleep more for years."

> Reimu grumbles but can't come up with an argument back.
