Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 1

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Do you know where she might have gone? Any usual haunts?"

Aya:

> "If this land is still the same, yeah. Though we could get ambushed, too."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Maybe, but I think I can at least mitigate the issue of the smoke a bit now that I understand what's going on better. Unless you mean something else?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"My instincts are the same as before."

>How many youkai are as fast as our horses?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Maybe, but I think I can at least mitigate the issue of the smoke a bit now that I understand what's going on better. Unless you mean something else?"

Aya:

> "If it's not Tengu, we could end up at a disadvantage."
> "With all of us? Not a chance." The Redhead speaks.
> "Though given what the goddess said,  some of is should check on the village." Miko speaks. When did she come out?

Seki
>"My instincts are the same as before."

>How many youkai are as fast as our horses?

Seki:

> You don't know. Kagerou was faster at least.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"I just really want some alcohol.  It's been one of those days."

>Rub one of the horses' face.
->"Don't worry, anything slower than Kagerou and they'll keep me safe.  Plus I'm just taking a look, not fighting.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Mmm, yeah, splitting up to cover more ground and check more things may be the best approach."

[Neovereign]

Seki

>Rub one of the horses' face.
->"Don't worry, anything slower than Kagerou and they'll keep me safe.  Plus I'm just taking a look, not fighting.

Aya:

> "Mmm, yeah, splitting up to cover more ground and check more things may be the best approach."

Seki:

> "Mm... stay out of trouble..." Hime advises.

Aya:

> "Guiding the Tengu all want to stay up here?" Miko considers.
> "We should get acquainted with our allies first and foremost." The non-redheaded headwinged girl speaks. "I'm Tokiko. Just a little bird."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Is Tokiko actually little? Or is she just being modest about her body?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"I will."
-> Wave farewell to Waka

>Drive the cart towards the human village

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Is Tokiko actually little? Or is she just being modest about her body?

Seki
>"I will."
-> Wave farewell to Waka

>Drive the cart towards the human village

Aya:

> She does seem to be the smallest here...

Seki:

> You set off...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Give Tokiko a slight smile.
> "Aya Shameimaru. Just a big bird. Gimme some bird solidarity, Tokiko."
> Shift our grip on Momizi so we're holding her with just one arm, and offer a fist out to Tokiko for bumpin'.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Keep an eye out for anything dangerous

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Give Tokiko a slight smile.
> "Aya Shameimaru. Just a big bird. Gimme some bird solidarity, Tokiko."
> Shift our grip on Momizi so we're holding her with just one arm, and offer a fist out to Tokiko for bumpin'.

Seki
>Keep an eye out for anything dangerous

Aya:

> Tokiko seems confused for a moment, but seems to understand, pressing her fist against yours.
> "Welcome aboard if you've decided on joining us, Tokiko. I'm Himekaidou Hatate, a b-"
> "Princess bird?" Tokiko questions.
> "...Ahem, a bird who rivals this big bird." Hatate puts her hand on your shoulder.
> "Inubashiri Momizi." The wolf in your arms speaks. "Not a bird, but I'm close to these two in many ways."

Seki:

> Just mist and far fairies. You thought you'd see some of the village by now...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Princess Bird! I like the sound of that."
> Use the previously-fistbumping hand to pat Hatate's hand on our shoulder.
> "And you can be Wolf Bird, Momi, you've earned it."
> Pull Momizi slightly closer to ourselves with our remaining arm.
> Look over at Iizunamaru with a grin.
> "C'mon, Boss Bird, you're next."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Bite our thumb in annoyance
->Keep our eyes peeled

>Do we know Keine could have erased the village

[Neovereign]

Aya:

Seki

>Do we know Keine could have erased the village

Aya:

> "We shouldn't be playing around..."
> "We're just learning our allies." Hatate speaks. "Megumu here is our Crow Tengu Boss, while Lord Tenma is the Big Boss."
> "Boss... Big Boss.." Tokiko repeats. "Are there naked,  liquid, and solid Tengu as well?"
> "Not sure about naked, but i think liquid and solid have to be Mizu-"
> "Momizi, quit it before you start tming about patrol routes and blind spots." Megumu advises

Seki:

> You'd at least be out of the mist by now though, even if the guardians hid the village.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look back to Tokiko with a warm smile.
> "Don't you worry your little bird head about Boss Bird. She means well, she just has to uphold gravitas a lot, what with being in charge of the rest of us birds and all."
> Look to the rest of the non-tengu section of the group.
> "So Cirno and I go a ways back, but I admit I'm varying degrees of less familiar with the rest of you."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Don't you worry your little bird head about Boss Bird. She means well, she just has to uphold gravitas a lot, what with being in charge of the rest of us birds and all."
> Look to the rest of the non-tengu section of the group.
> "So Cirno and I go a ways back, but I admit I'm varying degrees of less familiar with the rest of you."

Aya:

> "Seen her around a bit." Hatate answers.
> "Only know of her reputation." Momizi responds.
> "Same here." Megumu adds.
> "Stromgest fairy in Gensokyo." Cirno boasts. "Occasional incident resolver. Too strong for someone who specifies in beating fairies to even touch. Victor of the Great Fairy War. Dominator of Summ-"
>"Shut up already!" One of the fairies by Daiyousei shouts.
> "Sorry about her. I'm Daiyousei, the Great Fairy." The lead speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> What do we know of Daiyousei?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> What do we know of Daiyousei?

Aya:

> She was an impossibly large fairy, until now. Now,  you're almost certain she can beat Buildings in height. You wonder if her other areas can grow again as well... She seemed off in the past,  more than Star, maybe. You couldn't write an article on her with her acting too well. She probably knows more about you than you do of her, and could just play pretend if you try anything on her. Thought that's just your suspicion now that you know for a fact she's much more than a smart fairy.
> She made sure to hang around other fairies too, like Lily White. If you recall correctly, Daiyousei can teleport.
> If there's one more like Cirno and Dai, you might have to consider a photoshoot. Just so you're the first to let people know about this... phenomenon. Of course.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How tall is Daiyousei at present?
> How did she start being able to be larger than buildings?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How tall is Daiyousei at present?
> How did she start being able to be larger than buildings?

Aya:

> She might be the tallest here.
> You only suspect she can. Given Cirno can shrink, you wouldn't be surprised if she grew from this incident as well,  and much more than Cirno had.

Seki:

> Spmethings wrong. You should be past the village by now, yet the mist persists.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "'Great' might be an understatement, from what I've heard."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "'Great' might be an understatement, from what I've heard."

Aya:

> "Great Grandfairy has Great fairy subordinates~" The Redhead speaks.
> "Are you calling me old lady?"
> "A-Ahem... ultra fairy?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I was letting my imagination run a bit wild in a different sense. Mmm, perhaps in a different Gensokyo, you and I could have gotten to know each other much better, but there's no time for that now."
> Do we know anything about the redhead?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Pull our cart to a stop
->Listen closely

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I was letting my imagination run a bit wild in a different sense. Mmm, perhaps in a different Gensokyo, you and I could have gotten to know each other much better, but there's no time for that now."
> Do we know anything about the redhead?

Seki
>Pull our cart to a stop
->Listen closely

Aya:

> The Redhead... You thought you've seen her before, but... hm... maybe the Scarlet Devil Mansion? It lines up a bit... she should have something to do with Patchouli Knowledge.
> "I'm not sure what I'd call myself now either, if these two can be called Great Fairies." Daiyousei scratches her head.
> "You're Daiyousei." The Redhead ensures. "I'm fine with you just being the Great Fairy, since you're not a fairy like Cirno, but something of your own. As for me, I'm just Ko-"
> "Koakuma, my little devil." The white haired woman interrupts. "You do your best against the world and only grow more and more. Mother is proud you've already grown past that Magician." She leans into her for a hug.

Seki:

> You slow to a stop.
> There's the sound of the lake, and the far fairies giggling.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Right, yeah. 'That magician' being Patchouli Knowledge, if I remember my Scarlet Devil Mansions correctly?"
> Look to the white-haired woman.
> "Mrs. Akuma, then, is it? Or Ms. Akuma, perhaps. I shouldn't presume."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Are the fairies laughing at us

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Right, yeah. 'That magician' being Patchouli Knowledge, if I remember my Scarlet Devil Mansions correctly?"
> Look to the white-haired woman.
> "Mrs. Akuma, then, is it? Or Ms. Akuma, perhaps. I shouldn't presume."

Seki
>Are the fairies laughing at us

Aya:

> "Shinki." The woman responds. "Goddess of Makai. Two of my lovely children were looking for their mother♥" Shinki grabs Alice into the hug. "And even a close friend came to visit♪"
> Her eyes draw you over to Byakuren.
> "Quite the small world. I didn't think two people so closely related to Shinki would be residing in Gensokyo." Hijiri speaks.

Seki:

> Too far to tell...
> But you suspect they are.
