Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 1

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Have they both spotted us?
> Are either of them actually generating the smoke that is not the smoke Hina is gathering? If not, what is its source?
> What sort of condition do Hatate and Tokiko appear to be in?
> Is there anyone else here?

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Does the path look big enough for the cart.

>How many horses do we have?

>Say the following if we think the horses can be ridden
->"I'm not opposed to unhitching the horses and riding the rest of the way if that would be easier."

Aya:

> Have they both spotted us?
> Are either of them actually generating the smoke that is not the smoke Hina is gathering? If not, what is its source?
> What sort of condition do Hatate and Tokiko appear to be in?
> Is there anyone else here?

Seki:

> No...
> 4 of them.
> "No. It's alright. We'll head back for now. Sakuya, try to reach the destination yourself and check things out." The vampire speaks.
> The maid steps out of the coach.

Aya:

> Both have.
> No. You don't know about the one Hina Is gathering, but the other smoke seems to come from something Nemuno is cooking up. Or rather, has doused...
> The two birds seemfine.
> No.
> "Is this really the right place?" Hatate looks around.
> "Somethin' the matter?" Nemuno questions.
> "Were there others here?" Megumu asks.
> "I was asked to move here for a bit. Haven't had any much bothers til now."
> "Apologies for being a bother." Hina adds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Could the 'smoke' Hina is gathering be misfortune? That is kinda her thing, and it would certainly explain why Iizunamaru was stumbling around so much, and how she knew she would keep doing it if left to her own devices...
> Does there appear to be a path further onward? Or is this the end of the cave?
> Look to Nemuno.
> "I thought I felt something right before we arrived...you're currently claiming this as your territory, then, aren't you?"
>> If this appears to be the end of the cave: "Do you need us to leave?"
> While talking, try slightly shifting our grip on Iizunamaru so our hand slides onto her backside.

Aya:

> Considering it... it could be. It wasn't being blown away after all.
> Moght be a way deeper. It's too dark to tell from a distance. It could be either.
> "For now, yeah. Don't mind ya too much, specially given the uproar the mountain's in." She responds.
> "I hope it blows by relatively quickly." Hina speaks.
> You shift your grip slightly. Megumu seems to notice, but doesn't bring attention to it.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> What does Iizunamaru's face suggest she thinks of our changed grip?
> Nod to Nemuno.
> "Understood. Your hospitality is appreciated."
> Look around the area in general.
> "So...on the matter of the mountain being in an uproar, the reason we're here at all is because we're pursuing someone possibly related to the massive youkai assault on the Moriya Shrine. This person can use smoke to control minds. This person is an acquaintance of Boss here-"
> Heft Iizunamaru slightly for emphasis.
>> If Iizunamaru doesn't appear to have taken our sliding our hand onto her backside negatively, while hefting her, try to subtly slide our other hand over so it rests on her chest.
> "-and has been known to be in this place before. Between that and the smoke we saw coming in and out of this place, we had to investigate. But it looks like we might've been pursuing your dinner instead by accident."

Aya:

> If you had to guess,  she's wondering what you're doing. Though aside from Hatate's last trip before the moon flash, she might be the least against this. You wouldn't accuse her of it aloud, but you think she's leaning into it.
> It's a simple cave without much to it. You suspect it goes deeper, as it can't be this empty and clean if someone's living here.
> "I don't know much going on past the uproar, an' I don't care much either." Nemuno replies.
> Megumu crosses her arms, not in the way of your hand. "So my advice for here was a bust."
> "Where to next?" Hatate asks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How does Iizunamaru's chest compare to ours, again?
> Just to confirm, did we in fact slide our hand onto it?
> Look to our allies.
> "Well, before we check elsewhere..."
> Look to Nemuno.
> "Who asked you to move in here, anyway?"
> While asking Nemuno this question, begin slightly and gently rubbing Iizunamaru's backside.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Was the destination the Garden of the Sun or could we go around?"

Seki

Aya:

> Yes.
> "Purple hair lady with her hair tied together with a ribbon."
> "Ponytail?" Megumu adjusts, moving away from your rubbing.
> "Yeah. Whatever."
> "She must've traded places with her then. Guess that's where we're headed next." Megumu considers.

Seki:

> "This dilemma wouldn't exist if it were past the Garden now, would it?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How does Iizunamaru's chest compare to ours, again?
> Stop the rubbing, but keep our hand on her backside.
> To Nemuno: "Are you okay with us checking your former territory for this woman?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>". . .Back to the SDM, lady Scarlet?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

Seki
>". . .Back to the SDM, lady Scarlet?"

Aya:

> You stop rubbing, but keep your hands there.
> Might be bigger than you...
> "Mm... just don't go making too big a mess."

Seki:

> "Yes. You've done well."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Of course."
> Look to our allies.
> "Shall we, Bird Brigade?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Of course."
> Look to our allies.
> "Shall we, Bird Brigade?"

Aya:

> "Kinda got a bad feeling about this... but I'll listen to you for now." Tokiko speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Well, we could discuss it along the way, certainly. Unless you mean there is something else here you wish to investigate?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Well, we could discuss it along the way, certainly. Unless you mean there is something else here you wish to investigate?"

Aya:

> "Well... no, I'm not the leader. Let's follow your idea."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "As you wish."
> Nod to Nemuno and Hina.
> "Thank you for your patience with us."
> Exit the cave, avoiding Hina's smoke. Keep track of Iizunamaru's facial expression and body language as we go.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Thank you, Lady Scarlet."
->"Good luck, miss Sakuya."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

->"Good luck, miss Sakuya."

Aya:

> You start off.
> Hina's smoke seems to have left Megumu.
> She's in thought.

Seki:

> "It's just investigating. I'll be fine." Sakuya responds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Everything okay, Boss Bird? Looks like something's on your mind."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Head back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion
->Go as fast as we can with the ride being smooth.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Everything okay, Boss Bird? Looks like something's on your mind."

Seki
>Head back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion
->Go as fast as we can with the ride being smooth.

Aya:

> "I'm wondering what's in store if we were tricked by this."

Seki:

> You start to return at your pace instead of a book's.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Are our heads keeping up

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Mmm...that's true. We can probably assume that your acquaintance suspects you're coming for her, given everything that happened at the Moriya's."

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Are our heads keeping up

Aya:

> "Mmm...that's true. We can probably assume that your acquaintance suspects you're coming for her, given everything that happened at the Moriya's."

Seki:

> No. They won't even be able to follow like this

Aya:

> "Not sure if she's against us, but be ready for either. Also, we're out of the cave. I'm not going to trip on anything out here."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Pout a little bit.
> "You mean you're not enjoying your ride? And I tried hard to make it good for you, too."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Pout a little bit.
> "You mean you're not enjoying your ride? And I tried hard to make it good for you, too."

Aya:

> "Let's make a deal then. If she's hostile,  we take it seriously. If she isn't, you can carry me."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, absolutely. Fun is fun, business is business."
> Grin just a bit.
> "I do still hope you're enjoying it, though."
> As we speak, give her backside a single light pat.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Dismiss the head guards

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, absolutely. Fun is fun, business is business."
> Grin just a bit.
> "I do still hope you're enjoying it, though."
> As we speak, give her backside a single light pat.

Aya:

> You put just once and slightly. Though it seems enough to burn her face a bit.
> "Let me down and hurry to lead where we need to go. That's an order." She speaks.
> "Let her have her fun. Besides, I know you enjoy this, at least." Hatate teases.
> "Fine. But don't take your time. Let's get there fast."
> "So princess bird is the boss..." Tokiko speaks, while Hatate picks her up.
> "I'll try not to fall too far behind."

Seki:

> You dismiss the head's and continue to speed past the village and Yukari.
> ...Yukari?
