Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 3

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Take on a gentle tone while looking at the fairy.
> "...What happened to you, dear?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Take on a gentle tone while looking at the fairy.
> "...What happened to you, dear?"

Aya:

> The fairy keeps her gaze where it is in melancholy. Though for a moment, it looks like she was going to say something.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Gently reach out for her head.
> If nothing unexpected happens, begin gently petting her.
> "It's okay. Take your time if you need to."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Gently reach out for her head.
> If nothing unexpected happens, begin gently petting her.
> "It's okay. Take your time if you need to."

Aya:

> You reach over, and gently pat the fairy's head.
> She buries her face in her knees, hugging them and murmuring something.
> After a moment, she speaks again. That voice is Cirno's, though muffled a bit by her position...
> "I messed up."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look up to Shingyoku while still petting Cirno.
> "May I?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look up to Shingyoku while still petting Cirno.
> "May I?"

Aya:

> The oni wordlessly nods.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Gently pick Cirno up and hug her, resting her body on top of our chest closest to our own body.
> With a quiet, gentle tone: "It's okay, dear. Whatever happened, you're still my precious friend."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"You're welcome to join us if you want.  Did Cirno go down the same path as Aya?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Gently pick Cirno up and hug her, resting her body on top of our chest closest to our own body.
> With a quiet, gentle tone: "It's okay, dear. Whatever happened, you're still my precious friend."

Seki
>"You're welcome to join us if you want.  Did Cirno go down the same path as Aya?"

Aya:

> You lift the fairy and hug her closely.
> "I'm not. I'm just a little fairy." She claims. "The Cirno on the outside that everyone knows will get through anything in her way. If you can stop her, I can go back to normal."

Seki:

> "No. She vanished. And I'm not leaving here yet. I'm still waiting on her."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look back up at Shingyoku while resuming petting Cirno's head.
> "So what exactly happened here? I don't think I've ever seen seen anything like this, and I've been around the block more than a few times."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look back up at Shingyoku while resuming petting Cirno's head.
> "So what exactly happened here? I don't think I've ever seen seen anything like this, and I've been around the block more than a few times."

Aya:

> "We're not entirely sure. It's probably better to ask Daiyousei."
> "We don't think stopping the "other" Cirno will do anything about this, though."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "What's the mental state of the other Cirno? What sort of attitude and personality does she have?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "What's the mental state of the other Cirno? What sort of attitude and personality does she have?"

Aya:

> "We haven't pursued her."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "...Lady Toyosatomimi? You said she was headed to the Bamboo Forest, yes?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "...Lady Toyosatomimi? You said she was headed to the Bamboo Forest, yes?"

Aya:

> "She could be elsewhere now." Miko speaks up. "I'm not the best tracker out in Gensokyo."
> "I mess up a lot too. It's okay to mess up if you didn't mean to." Okuu speaks up.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"If I see her I'll get her in touch with you."
->Pull a copy of our head out of our cloak and toss it to Daiyousei. "Catch."

>Ask the big fairy which route of the crossroads Aya took

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How is Momizi at tracking?

[Neovereign]

Seki
>"If I see her I'll get her in touch with you."
->Pull a copy of our head out of our cloak and toss it to Daiyousei. "Catch."

>Ask the big fairy which route of the crossroads Aya took

Aya:

> How is Momizi at tracking?

Seki:

> You create an extra head and leave it for Daiyousei.
> "That way." She gestures. "Keep going in the tunnel until you see a large and long vehicle. It doesn't sound like it's moved elsewhere yet."

Aya:

> Fair. But you don't know if you, or rather Momizi, can use this Cirno to find the other...
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Wave
->Head down the tunnel where Aya is

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> To Cirno: "Everyone messes up sometimes, Cirno. Even if things are different at the moment, you're still you. We'll get you reunited with the other you, and then you can be back to normal, okay?"
> To Miko: "That's quite alright, Lady Toyosatomimi. Your efforts and information are already very appreciated. What do you think, Momi? Does this sound like someone you could hunt down?"

[Neovereign]

Seki

->Head down the tunnel where Aya is

Aya:

> To Cirno: "Everyone messes up sometimes, Cirno. Even if things are different at the moment, you're still you. We'll get you reunited with the other you, and then you can be back to normal, okay?"
> To Miko: "That's quite alright, Lady Toyosatomimi. Your efforts and information are already very appreciated. What do you think, Momi? Does this sound like someone you could hunt down?"

Seki:

> You start down the tunnel. This path is even messier than the cave for a cart, but given it's your carriage, you're still perfectly fine riding along it.
> Eventually, you do end up finding a large and long structure blocking most of the tunnel's path. Pretty sure you saw this the last time you were underground...

Aya:

> "I can certainly try." Momizi responds.
> Cirno doesn't respond.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Follow the object
>Is it on tracks

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "That's all I can ask."
> Look to Suzaku and Ami.
> "This already sounds like something worth making note of."

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Follow the object
>Is it on tracks

Aya:

> "That's all I can ask."
> Look to Suzaku and Ami.
> "This already sounds like something worth making note of."

Seki:

> Yes, but it's stopped in place.

Aya:

> "So something about an ice fairy...?" Ami questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "It'll make more sense once we find the other her. Probably. You'll at least want to take some notes about what you've seen and heard so far."
> "...Can you take notes like this?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"It looks like a sort of train."

>Continue on

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "It'll make more sense once we find the other her. Probably. You'll at least want to take some notes about what you've seen and heard so far."
> "...Can you take notes like this?"

Seki
>"It looks like a sort of train."

>Continue on

Aya:

> "Do you think we can?"

Seki:

> "It is." Sanae speaks up, peeking out. "I'm pretty sure the rest of the underground is over there." She points deeper in the cave, though outside of the tunnel's path.
> The train blocks your way further into the tunnels.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I genuinely don't know, that's why I'm asking. Like I said earlier, I've never been in there before. And you two have said things that implied you were able to communicate with each other in there."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I genuinely don't know, that's why I'm asking. Like I said earlier, I've never been in there before. And you two have said things that implied you were able to communicate with each other in there."

Aya:

> "Well we can't."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Lift Suzaku out a little further so her shoulders are back out. Then pull her arms out from there.
> Then do the same for Ami.
