Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 1

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Was that a test?
>What can we tell from Remilia's face

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Frown.
> "I don't mean to come across as cold and uncaring about Aunn. It's just that medical isn't my forte. There's not much of anything I can actively do for her. We're all better off with me gathering information than trying to heal someone."

Seki
>Was that a test?
>What can we tell from Remilia's face

Aya:

> "Well Luna, go on and tell them what you can hear on the moon. What they're saying and the secret plan they have." Sunny pokes the blonde fairy.
> "Moonlight shines down on the Bamboo Forest of the Lost and Youkai Mountain first. What sorrowful states they'll be in." Luna speaks.
> "It's a joke." Sunny says. "The sun's out. What do you expect to learn like this?"
> "If you'd like, we can book a meeting with Lily White during Winter." Star speaks. "I'm sure you'll get tons of information on spring during such an opportune time."
> "Better yet, how about we go deep underground for you to quiz Star a bit. Maybe she'll have some big news for you." Sunny adds
> "Actually, can't you tell us about the fish deep in the depths of Misty Lake?" Star continues without pause. "Going by your logic, the Tengu of the skies should have plenty of knowledge on fish so deep down."
> "Hey Ice Fairy." Sunny continues the trail. "We think there might be a dragon we should find. Since you're probably opposite to dragons who usually master fire, what do you think we should prepare for facing it?"
> "Why not try asking the vampire since it's about the moon, anyways? She probably knows something since vampires don't like going out in the sun."

Seki:

> You're not sure...
> She seems to be waiting to see if the mystery voice has anything else to say besides that.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to Iizunamaru.
> "Rhetoric aside, that information lines up with what Yorihime's lackey let slip."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>If we can use our duplicate heads to clean
->"I believe my ability will help in my daily tasks."
-->Summon a duplicate head and have it bow

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look to Iizunamaru.

Seki
>If we can use our duplicate heads to clean
->"I believe my ability will help in my daily tasks."
-->Summon a duplicate head and have it bow

Aya:

> "You're... asking fairies for guidance on this?" Megumu questions.
> "Uh... What was that about a dragon?" Hatate questions.
> "I don't know. Maybe we know something, maybe we don't." Sunny responds.
> "Why would you care? It seems like you're just focused on Luna and the moon." Star speaks. "Maybe if you weren't part of the groups that keep pestering Luna so much, we might have something to share..."
> "Groups?"
> "You and that red haired head girl."

Seki:

> You should be able to.
> "Ability?" The voice asks.
> "She can't really see you behind the door." Remilia speaks. "Ahem, it seems this person can create multiple heads to act for her.
> "Oh... That sounds a little interesting." The voice replies.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Seki:
>Did our head duplicate the headband or did it spawn with our bow?

[Neovereign]

Seki:
>Did our head duplicate the headband or did it spawn with our bow?

Seki:

> The head also seems to have a headband.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look over to Iizunamaru.
> "Don't knock it 'til you try it. You might be surprised. Never mind who I've got in my arms right this moment."
> Heft Cirno slightly for emphasis.
> "Besides, the Bamboo Forest thing Luna mentioned isn't new information, it's simply verification. It also means we can probably trust what she's says is being discussed on the moon is true, since we've seen the mountain's chaos for ourselves. Now we know about the current phase of their plan and can instead press Yorihime about the next one, to give ourselves a reasonable chance to fight back against it."

Aya:

> "I guess we'll focus on that first since we can't get anything else about Reimu or such from these fairies..." Hatate speaks.
> "It's what happens when you're being rude." Sunny crosses her arms.
> "Can I get some rest without all of you talking so much..." Marisa sighs. "Except you." She sits up a bit, looking your way. "What's this about Reimu?"
> "My ability showed something weird, and if the fairies do know something, I might have a clue as to what's up." Hatate says.
> "We're not saying a thing with how our friend has been treated." Sunny reemphasizes.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Seki:
>Have we ever tried taking headgear off a duplicate head to see what happens?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Mentally do a fist pump
->We've gone from tolerated to slightly interesting

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Glance over at Aunn, then back at Marisa.
> "What would you like us to do to help her?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "What would you like us to do to help her?"

Seki:

> No.
> It's a step up! Maybe you'll get a nice pay from this work when you... if you get hired!

Aya:

> "She's a youkai. I doubt she was attacked by anyone trying to exterminate her, just other youkai." Marisa says. "I think she just needs time to rest and recover."
> "We were talking about Luna." Sunny corrects.
> "The dog girl's state isn't the fault of anyone here. We don't know her well, but we can at least help out."
> "I'm the one doing most of the-"
> "We three could protect her alone." Star interrupts. "We may not be strong enough to protect the shrine too, like you, but we can evade any youkai with her in tow."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Shrug.
> "For what it's worth, we haven't been with that red-haired girl for quite some time. Heaven knows what she's up to right now. You have my sympathies if she was being a botheration to your friend, but at the very least it wasn't on our account. If you really don't want to speak, though, then I'm not going to try to force you to."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Wait Warmly

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Shrug.
> "For what it's worth, we haven't been with that red-haired girl for quite some time. Heaven knows what she's up to right now.

Seki
>Wait Warmly

Aya:

> "You were still being the same way to Luna. Acting like she's the know-it-all for this incident."
> "Well, how does she feel about it?" Hatate questions.
> "I... It is annoying when I keep getting asked if I'm fine or how I'm feeling just because something is going on with the moon. Of course I feel different, but if it was something worth mentioning, I'd mention it."
> "This wouldn't be the first time something was up with the moon." Marisa says. "But plenty of others noticed it too."
> "If you get on your knees and apologize, we might speak up." Sunny says.

Star:

> "I guess I can't check now. But she gets a pass for me for now." The voice says.
> "Well then, with that covered, we'll properly consider your pay later. For now, what would you like to receive from working with us?"
> "I'd pick safety if I were you." The voice speaks. "Accidents do happen. If someone were to break in, we'd need a reason to focus on one person's safety versus the entire mansion..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "I...will show less empathy for your well-being in the future, then, I suppose. If that's what you want."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "I...will show less empathy for your well-being in the future, then, I suppose. If that's what you want."

Aya:

> "No." Luna speaks. "It's that false empathy in the pursuit of knowledge or clues that's the problem here."
> "What if she's genuinely wondering about your well-being?" Cirno questions.
> "Prove it then." Sunny says. "Give up on worrying about the moon and focus on helping Luna feel better and more comfortable during this."
> "Uh..." Hatate looks around.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Unfortunately, that's not my call to make, not with the expectations of other people currently on me. If there's something I can get for you to help out while I'm out and about, I'll gladly do so, but dropping everything is betraying many for the sake of one."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Star:

>Adopt some slime

Seki:
>Do we know any other potential things we could need aside from Safety?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Unfortunately, that's not my call to make, not with the expectations of other people currently on me. If there's something I can get for you to help out while I'm out and about, I'll gladly do so, but dropping everything is betraying many for the sake of one."

>Adopt some slime

Seki:
>Do we know any other potential things we could need aside from Safety?

Aya:

> "You're one person. You have control over your actions, and others have control over theirs." Star shares advice. "If you want to take back any sympathies and sincerity you had for us, then just say it."
> "It's not like you're the only one worrying about the incident." Sunny speaks. "I think Alice was gone before the flash even happened, so there's already others on it like her."

Seki:

> Given you're a youkai, you don't need food as much as safety... Maybe it even comes with safety?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown a bit sadly.
> "If that is how you feel, then I'd say we're even in regards to missing each other's important contexts."
> Look to Iizunamaru.
> "We're running out of time, Boss. We need to get back to Yorihime."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Could safety prevent our growth either spiritual or physical?
>What benefits could our survival have over safety?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Frown a bit sadly.

> Look to Iizunamaru.

Seki
>Could safety prevent our growth either spiritual or physical?
>What benefits could our survival have over safety?

Aya:

> "The moon shining is more important than Reimu?" Star questions.
> "Just tell me where she is, at least." Marisa frowns.
> "We need to discuss with someone. Daiyousei?" Sunny calls.
> Megumu starts to lead the way back.

Seki:

> You don't think so.
> You don't know of any. It's not like you live in the wild.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "You can all come with us if you like so we can discuss each other's problems further, but you'll need to ride inside me with the other folks currently hitching rides in there, because you won't be able to keep up otherwise."
> Frown.
> "I wasn't lying about running out of time, though. Three seconds to decide, then Shameimaru Airlines departs with whomever is on board."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "You can all come with us if you like so we can discuss each other's problems further, but you'll need to ride inside me with the other folks currently hitching rides in there, because you won't be able to keep up otherwise."
> Frown.

Aya:

> "You shouldn't be doing that..." Luna warns.
> "Good luck." Star says, as Daiyousei appears. Not in as grand an entrance as Cirno has been doing, though.
> "You three? Ah, what happened to her!?" The big fairy questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to Marisa.
> "And you?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Nod
->"You make a good case."

>"Safety, mistress."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look to Marisa.
> "And you?"

Seki
>Nod
->"You make a good case."

>"Safety, mistress."

Aya:

> "No idea. Gotta worry about these three withholding useful information now." Marisa sighs.
> "Well we didn't expect it to be related to Reimu." Sunny says.
> "She got roughed up by Youkai in trying to protect Reimu's shrine." Star explains. "But we called you here for something else."

Seki:

> "Alright then. We'll do our best."
> "Smart." The voice responds.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "As you wish."
> Beeline back to Yorihime.
