Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 3

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Sit up.
> "What sort of focus change are you thinking, precisely?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Let out a low whistle
->"Pretty impressive."

>"Where do you think Aya's group is?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Sit up.
> "What sort of focus change are you thinking, precisely?"

Seki
>Let out a low whistle
->"Pretty impressive."

>"Where do you think Aya's group is?"

Aya:

> "You've probably seen one already. Working with the Oni. Doesn't need to be all buddy-buddy, but we all want to survive. They're not too against it either. "

Seki:

> "It's great, isn't it?" The plain girl of your group says. "I bet it'll get better later. "
> "Underground." The fairy speaks. "Dai said the palace of the earth spirits."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "What else?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Nod.
> "What else?"

Aya:

> "We still have some internal issues to deal with. This won't go well in the long run if it's like this, but we can't have the leader's just having us go about usual business like it isn't a problem. No one sure how to get them on the right focus." Then there's the rest of the Tengu that weren't comfortable with this, up on the surface."

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Briefly check our figure. Are we normal-shaped, or slightly weighty as though we have a handful of people inside us?
> "Mmm. There's a few considerations to be had. What about the Moriyas, for one?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Suck air through our teeth
->"Of course the Underground."

>Is our carriage big enough to accommodate everyone?

>Do we know of the Underground's hot springs?

[Neovereign]

>Is our carriage big enough to accommodate everyone?

>Do we know of the Underground's hot springs?

Aya:

> You seem weightier than when you had people in you. But it looks like it's going down slowly? You hope you didn't actually lay an egg. No, no way.
> "Moriyas?"
> "Ah, right. The mountain goddess was complaining about something, but given her relationship with Tenma, it's more then likely more wasteful business worries."

Seki:

> You check...
> It... is?
> You wonder what else you have to figure out about this...

> You do not know.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Can we feel anyone in there?
> How much larger do we seem? Does it look like the green-haired girl might be inside us, given her relative size?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Can we feel anyone in there?
> How much larger do we seem? Does it look like the green-haired girl might be inside us, given her relative size?

Aya:

> No.
> It could be that? But you don't feel anyone.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "If that's the case, why did tengu lead an assault on that shrine earlier?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "If that's the case, why did tengu lead an assault on that shrine earlier?"

Aya:

> "The things happening seem related to the outside world. So we needed someone who knows more about it. Wouldn't have been an "assault" if not for the other goddess. She probably could've gotten some sense into the mountain goddess, and Tenma through her, but the Oni haven't brought her back yet."
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Quirk an eyebrow at the carriage

>Do we know how to get to the Underground?

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Even so, Iizunamaru was attacked the instant she appeared at the battle site. Why wasn't diplomacy at least attempted with her?"

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Quirk an eyebrow at the carriage

>Do we know how to get to the Underground?

Aya:

> "Even so, Iizunamaru was attacked the instant she appeared at the battle site. Why wasn't diplomacy at least attempted with her?"

Seki:

> You do not...

Aya:

> "Iizunamaru's a Daitengu. She could overpower a group of us if given a slight advantage. It's not nice, but capturing her would've been better than having her "maybe" work with us, given the track record of the rest..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I think you lot underestimate yourselves, considering that Shrine was in total defense mode the entire time I watched. If it helps calm the nerves, though, I promise you that Boss can be reasoned with."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I think you lot underestimate yourselves, considering that Shrine was in total defense mode the entire time I watched. If it helps calm the nerves, though, I promise you that Boss can be reasoned with."

Aya:

> "Then we owe her an apology."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look down at our stomach with a faintly amused expression.
> "Well, Boss, now that they've said that, you better not make a liar out of me in the future."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Does anyone know how to get there?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look down at our stomach with a faintly amused expression.
> "Well, Boss, now that they've said that, you better not make a liar out of me in the future."

Seki
>"Does anyone know how to get there?"

Aya:

> The Tengu blink. Though some step back.
> "She's not here now, is she?"
> "Who's not here?" You hear the boss' familiar voice.
> "Don't play around or she"ll screw it up." You hear... uh... Yukari? No, younger...
> The Tengu are now very surprised and confused.

Seki:

> "There's an entrance near the Hakurei Shrine. I've watched Marisa go down there."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look back up at the gathered tengu and wink with a grin.
> Then look back down at our stomach.
> "I thought I was larger than before. Who else is in there now?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Nod
->Turn to the other group
-->"Who wants to ride in the carriage?"

>Is our group in the carriage

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look back up at the gathered tengu and wink with a grin.
> then look back down at our stomach.
> "I thought I was larger than before. Who else is in there now?"

Seki

>Is our group in the carriage

Aya:

> "Don't stick your hand in or anything." Yukari(?) Warns.
> "Only Yukari aside from the rest."
> "That might be my fault." Nitori says. "Tried out what i was working on this whole time, a warping device. It should've been safe since I kept special regards to how this space was keeping everyone safe. But you were quiet for a long time when i did, so."

Seki:

> Most of them are.
> "Carriage huh..." The one who mentioned Marisa considers.
> "It'd be better to not show my wings off around here."
> "We have fairies here. They'll be fine seeing you, too."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Ah. Yeah, uh...we'll say a whole lot of stress caught up to me, and leave it at that. If I'm not sticking my hand in, does that mean no one should be going in or out?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Are you a new arrival to Gensokyo?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Ah. Yeah, uh...we'll say a whole lot of stress caught up to me, and leave it at that. If I'm not sticking my hand in, does that mean no one should be going in or out?"

Seki
>"Are you a new arrival to Gensokyo?"

Aya:

> "Not yet..." Yukari sounds slightly frustrated.

Seki:

> "A bit." The lady in red speaks.
> "Shinki's only been here recently."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Are any tengu outside of us sufficiently close that they would overhear us whispering?
> "Mmm, that's unfortunate."
> Glance around at a few of the tengu nearest us with a thoughtful expression, then look back down.
> "...What would happen to someone that went in?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>How are fairies typically treated in the village?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Mmm, that's unfortunate."
> Glance around at a few of the tengu nearest us with a thoughtful expression, then look back down.
> "...What would happen to someone that went in?"

Seki
>How are fairies typically treated in the village?

Aya:

> No.
> "Maybe I should just stop this." Yukari speaks in an annoyed tone.

Seki:

> "Well, fairies don't usually visit the village often." One of the fairies says. "Some of the humans like seeing us. Others are wary, but not in a scared way."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Whoa, hey, let's not be too hasty. It's done. I get it."
> Look back to the tengu.
> "Uh, anyway, there you go. Now you all know. It's certainly worth everyone discussing our future. Oh, and just in case you're still skeptical..."
> Retrieve Iizunamaru's top from our cleavage and show it off a bit.
