Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 2

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Hmm, well, okay. Time to take a risk; we should be fast enough to escape if it goes awry, and we'll look really cool if it succeeds.
> Try manipulating the wind so that we start effectively 'pushing' the bend in the tornado - the curve where it changes from horizontal to vertical - back toward its source. Position ourselves below and a little away from said bend, so that we're not in the tornado, but would be if it were fully horizontal.
> Shift our grip on the rabbit so we have one hand locked onto her hand (holding it as before, but with a bit more force) and our other hand locked onto her ankle, and hold her out to our side like she's a large blunt swinging weapon, like a club or a really wide sword.
> If this setup is successful, fly ourselves directly toward the source of the tornado while 'pushing' the bend in front of us so it 'moves' at the same speed we do. Make sure to (a) 'push' the bend as quickly as we're able to 'move' it, and (b) not fly faster than the bend is 'moving'.
> If we are able to make it all the way back to the source of the tornado, once we approach that source, transition the 'pushing' of the bend into simply making the tornado entirely vertical to get it fully out of our way, and swing the rabbit like a club at the source of the tornado. (If a hostile force tries to intercept us before we get that far, swing the rabbit at them instead.)

Seki
>"You want to make sure the same idea is shared through the sentences.  It works if humans aren't supposed to be in the mansion."

Aya:

> You start to put more effort into redirecting the tornado with the wind, moving it upwards sooner and following the bending point. This would probably be easier and faster with your fan...
> The rabbit seems even more surprised at your feat.

Seki:

> "I understand."
> "Yeah!"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Risk #2, then! Let go of the rabbit's hand, but maintain the death grip on her ankle.
> With our now-free hand, retrieve our fan and use it to help our control over the tornado to make the movement process that much faster.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"You're really smart."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Risk #2, then! Let go of the rabbit's hand, but maintain the death grip on her ankle.
> With our now-free hand, retrieve our fan and use it to help our control over the tornado to make the movement process that much faster.

Seki
>"You're really smart."

Aya:

> You let go of the rabbit's hand, but keep her grasped.
> You retrieve your fan and start to use it in aid to you, speeding up the process by a lot.
> With the tornado completely redirected, you hurry on and swing the bunny like a club at the source, which seems to be the blonde and a fan she has in hand.
> "L-Lady Toyo-"
> Given Yorihime appears to be preoccupied with the rest of the group, nothing stops you from violently reintroducing the blonde to her rabbit and stopping the latter mid-sentence.

Seki:

> "Thank you!" The fairies reply.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Keeping the tornado straight upright, stop on a dime and take a moment to analyze the conditions of the blonde and the rabbit.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Smile
>This seems like it will be a nice job

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Keeping the tornado straight upright, stop on a dime and take a moment to analyze the conditions of the blonde and the rabbit.

Seki
>Smile
>This seems like it will be a nice job

Aya:

> It doesn't feel like the tornado needs any more of your guidance.
> The rabbit looks disoriented, while the blonde looks upset, and trying to hold onto the rabbit.

Seki:

> You smile.

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Has the blonde actually succeeded at grabbing the rabbit?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Has the blonde actually succeeded at grabbing the rabbit?

Aya:

> Yes.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Have we yet gotten to the point where we can simply open our mouth wide enough to get a person inside? Or do we still need a hand free for that?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Have we yet gotten to the point where we can simply open our mouth wide enough to get a person inside? Or do we still need a hand free for that?

Aya:

> You do need a hand.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> What part of the rabbit does the blonde have a grip on?
> Yank the rabbit toward us, in the hopes that doing so will catch the blonde off guard and make her stumble toward us.
>> If she does stumble toward us, stow our fan, yank our mouth open, and engulf her head in our mouth. Once her head is on our mouth, let go of our mouth and grab her fan hand's wrist.

Aya:

> Her torso.
> You yank the rabbit, though the blonde lets go. You wonder if you're fast enough to just go in for a chomp.
> "To use a hostage this way. How despicable." The blonde speaks, stepping back to stand by Yorihime. "Let's do this properly next time."
> Though Yorihime was handling the rest fine, Youmu's arrival has put a complete halt to her yet again.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Does the rabbit appear dazed still, or is she coming to her senses?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Does the rabbit appear dazed still, or is she coming to her senses?

Aya:

> She's regaining her focus.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Take on a lower, more serious (but no quieter than usual) tone of voice.
> "You didn't have to try to disintegrate me, you know."
> Glance over at Reisen to see what she's up to, then return our eyes to the blonde.
>> If Reisen is not mid-combat: "Reisen! How does her teleportation work?"

Aya:

> "Oh, I wasn't exactly aiming for you, I wouldn't want Reisen caught up in the crossfire." The blonde speaks, taking Yorihime's hand as the swordswoman trades taking a cut for knocking Youmu back.
> Reisen is free.
> "I just know Lady Toyohime can go where she pleases, and it's less limited than Yukari's."
> Before Reisen can finish speaking, the duo has vanished right before your eyes.
> "Tch. That's not fair. Any way to trap them?" Mokou questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Grunt with an annoyed tone.
> "So it was her doing and not this one here. Anyone got some rope?"
> Look down at our stomach.
> "Hata, can you get a picture of Yorihime? You saw her earlier."

Aya:

> Look down at our stomach.
> "Hata, can you get a picture of Yorihime? You saw her earlier."

Aya:

> "Don't count her out yet..." Reisen approaches the bunny in your hands. "They wouldn't bring you in the middle of a fight just to have you watch. You have a trick or two, don't you."
> "Nn... The Desserter. Why do they still like you?" The bunny questions.
> "I heard you wanted to stay down here too, but you didn't end up committing yourself to it."
> "To betray them is too much! How could-" The bunny pauses.
> Reisen still stares at her, and she stares back, though, not into her eyes. They're both making glares that are progressing bit by bit...
> "Mm... It's just a picture of her." Hatate responds after a bit. "No surroundings or others. Or maybe the background is just dark."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Ah, this might be...oh.
> Oh.
> Don't look in either rabbit's eyes.
> Instead, keep looking at ourselves.
> "Hmm. That might actually be accurate to her environment. Don't get discouraged, it just means we should wait a little bit before we try again. Thanks, Hata. And sorry for letting you go, things went sideways out here."

Aya:

> "At least it didn't hurt." Hatate responds. "How many more times do you need me to do this?"
> "Is it that draining?" Momizi questions.
> "I just don't usually do it so often so soon. I can still keep doing it."
> "It looks like your quality's dropping, though." Nitori actually speaks up.
> "Oh, right. You're here. ...What are you doing?"
> "Still making things. Trying to see if I can use water displacement for transportation."
> "Whatever. What else do you need us to help with, Aya?" Momizi asks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Some extra guard duty soon. We got ourselves a hostile, and it would be nice to stick her somewhere her superiors can't find."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Some extra guard duty soon. We got ourselves a hostile, and it would be nice to stick her somewhere her superiors can't find."

Aya:

> "D-Don't tell me she's gonna eat me like those voices." The rabbit speaks again.
> "Hm..." Reisen squints.
> "We'll keep focused on her if you do." Momizi says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look at the rabbit (but not directly in her eyes, just in case).
> "And those are my friends. Imagine what I'll do to a hostile. I warned you that crossing me wouldn't end well for you, didn't I?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look at the rabbit (but not directly in her eyes, just in case).
> "And those are my friends. Imagine what I'll do to a hostile. I warned you that crossing me wouldn't end well for you, didn't I?"

Aya:

> "I didn't attack you or anything!" The rabbit replies.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Not yet. But you're fiercely loyal to Miss Death Cyclone there, and I have the safety of my home and my fellow natives to consider."
> Glance over at Iizunamaru, then look back at the rabbit.
> "But hey, your fate isn't sealed. Unlike you, my boss hasn't abandoned me, and is still here, right over there. Maybe you could convince her to order me to back off?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Where does this hallway lead?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Not yet. But you're fiercely loyal to Miss Death Cyclone there, and I have the safety of my home and my fellow natives to consider."

Seki
>"Where does this hallway lead?"

Aya:

> You glance at your boss, then continue speaking.
> "I know you don't plan on letting that happen." The rabbit scoffs.

Seki:

> "A lot of places..." The fairies answer, seemingly unsure of every exact destination.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Frown.
> Look to Reisen (not the eyes).
> "What do you think?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Frown.
> Look to Reisen (not the eyes).
> "What do you think?"

Aya:

> "I have a bad feeling. What if Lady Toyohime appears within you as well?" Reisen questons.
