Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 4

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> Crouch down while hiding behind Aya, just to make ourselves a smaller target. Drag Suzaku down with us.

Suzaku:

> Make a quiet noise of surprised as we're dragged down into a crouch as well.

Aya:

> "Why do you want to show me that? Do you think I think you're not?"

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Everyone got a power boost, but we are limited on how far our heads can fly, need horses to fly, and can't even use our abilities without someone else.

>Use our magic to try and pull this flame in us towards the surface.

Ami:

> Crouch down while hiding behind Aya, just to make ourselves a smaller target. Drag Suzaku down with us.

Suzaku:

> Make a quiet noise of surprised as we're dragged down into a crouch as well.

Aya:

> "Why do you want to show me that? Do you think I think you're not?"

Seki
>Everyone got a power boost, but we are limited on how far our heads can fly, need horses to fly, and can't even use our abilities without someone else.

>Use our magic to try and pull this flame in us towards the surface.

Aya:

> "Why would you think I am with how much disappointment I've brought since this incident? I might've at a record. But now? Everyone I had trouble with before was a breeze." Cirno boasts as the tengu duo hide behind and under you.

Seki:

> You encourage the flame more, feeling it well up in your throat.  It's a bit painful, but comfortable in a way. Will letting it get bigger once more be more painful, or more comforting?
> "Calm down. You seem to be getting worked up over something." Remilia speaks.
> But being under someone. Like with Yuyuko's case, you and to do things yourself. To have such freedom.

[Kilgamayan]

Suzaku, Ami:

> ...As long as we're down here, have a look up Aya's skirt. It's only fair after what she's done to us and others.

Aya:

> Frown deeper, and heave a sad sigh.
> "...May I approach you? I don't want or intend to fight you."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"My ability does nothing.  All that happened is my throat was chilled.  I couldn't stop the fairy from freezing Luna or Kagerou.  Then I find out the big fairy can stop my "trump" card with ease."

>"Damn it, I can't do anything!"

>Does our body look different

[Neovereign]

Suzaku, Ami:

> ...As long as we're down here, have a look up Aya's skirt. It's only fair after what she's done to us and others.

Aya:

> Frown deeper, and heave a sad sigh.
> "...May I approach you? I don't want or intend to fight you."

>"Damn it, I can't do anything!"

>Does our body look different

Ami:

> You and Suzaku both seem to have the same idea. But you're not... perverted like her. This is simply a mistaken glance. That ice fairy's in this direction, so you just had to make sure you can see whats happening, to stay safe.
> No. You really shouldn't look...

Aya:

> "Mm... then can I go get my victory against Dai?" Cirno asks.

Seki:

> No. You still just feel warm. Though hot around your throat.
> "That's fair then. You should get worked up." Flandre encourages the opposite of her sister.
> "Sometimes you should just try to work with what you can achieve." Remilia says. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
> "No. Don't make lemonade. Get angry! Life gave you lemons, but others get wings and super strength or great magic? How is that fair? Grasp whatever power you can manage, squeeze and shape it until you've perfected your uniqueness." Flandre motions squeezing something with her hands together. "Then show life the lemonade you've made with your own prowess. Make life regret thinking you'd settle for the puny little Itty bitty lemons it gave you!"

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> ...Do it anyway. It's fine, she won't know. She's too busy with that ice fairy.

Aya:

> "If that's what you want to do once you and I have had our piece with each other, I won't stop either of you. As long as you two don't get too out of hand, of course."
> Turn around and gently hold the tiny Cirno out to our two new employees, with the expectation that one or both will take her.
> "Here, you two take care of her for a moment. Please be gentle.
> If we caught them both peeking at us, also say: "And don't worry, there'll be plenty of time for that sort of thing later." Give a small wink and a grin. "I'll be happy to properly welcome both of you to the fold."

Ami:

> A moment or two is fine... Suzaku's gaze is locked and won't notice either. You can get away with-

Aya:

> You turn and offer the little Cirno up, noticing Suzaku staring obviously, and Ami... suddenly turning away.
> "Hmph... Fine..." The large Cirno seems to agree to such terms.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How red is Ami's face?
> Chuckle quietly at Ami's behavior.
> Turn back around and walk toward the larger Cirno. While we walk, give Ami a wind order to resume looking.
> One we reach the larger Cirno, give her a gentle hug.
> Quietly and gently: "You've brought me no disappointment, Cirno."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"What I have. . ."

>Screw the unfairness of life
->Screw reality, I'll reject it like it rejected me!

>Fuel that fire
->Push it out of my mouth

>Fuel that fire
->Push it out of my mouth

Aya:

> A nice amount. Not like she was seen bare or anything, but she definitely didn't expect to get caught at least.
> You approach Cirno and hug her.
> "If I haven't disappointed you, doesn't that mean you didn't expect much from me in the first place?" Cirno questions.

Seki:

> You agree with the younger mistress, encouraging that flame burning in you to come out more.
> Yet it just keeps building in your throat. Like it's stuck or something.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Take our head off

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "If I expected little from you, I would not have gone to you when that swordswoman was looking for a worthy opponent."

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Take our head off

Aya:

> "If I expected little from you, I would not have gone to you when that swordswoman was looking for a worthy opponent."

Seki:

> You pop off your head, with a bit more force than expected. Like a spark, your neck flares up in fire and power, engulfing where your head rested.
> You feel like you have power... a lot of power. And diverse power...
> "See? Doesn't... whatever just happened, feel great?" Flan asks, rubbing her eye.

Aya:

> "Then how was I not..." Cirno starts, but grumbles a bit. "Can't you explain how more?"
> You feel tired. Pretty faint. Too much heat from Okuu and cold from Cirno at the same time?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Does Utsuho feel heated at the moment?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Does Utsuho feel heated at the moment?

Aya:

> Yes, but not too much more than before.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Blink a few times and shake our head to keep ourselves awake.
> "I'd be glad to...but I'm suddenly feeling rather faint. Is something doing something?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Blink a few times and shake our head to keep ourselves awake.
> "I'd be glad to...but I'm suddenly feeling rather faint. Is something doing something?"

Aya:

> "Not me. I don't have sleeping mist or something. I won't get tied either." Cirno says. "I'm jus... not feeling like arguing..."
> The ice fairy sways and falls asleep on your shoulder.
> It's hard to kick this sleepiness, especially seeing Cirno go down against it.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Well, that's not good.
> "Tch."
> Shift ourselves and Cirno so she's leaning into our open chest, and then use that positioning to stuff her all the way in.
> Then look around in a mild panic. Is there smoke or any such thing in the air? How are others behaving?

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Well, that's not good.
> "Tch."
> Shift ourselves and Cirno so she's leaning into our open chest, and then use that positioning to stuff her all the way in.
> Then look around in a mild panic. Is there smoke or any such thing in the air? How are others behaving?

Aya:

> You store the big Cirno, having to do such with Utsuho as well, and look around in examination.
> No smoke or mist... your new employees are asleep.
> Sekibanki's head is on fire, but she seems fine, even has another head in her hands. You can't tell if she's also sleepy because her face isn't in view.
> Her Chariot is playing a tune somehow now that you listen in a bit, but, while fitting, it doesn't feel like the source of the problem.
> Youmu seems fine too. As does Mokou.
> Rather, they seem to be the only three seemingly unaffected. Youmu might be feeling it a bit at least?
> Miko... Shinki... even Daiyousei appear affected. They might be holding out the best aside from the previous three.
> Given that flame and a certain someone being capable of more than just spme tricks with fire, You suspect Mokou to be the prime  suspect.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Yes."

>Check our neck to see if our mark is still there

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "... What's...?"
> Stumble over to Suzaku and Ami and store them inside our chest as well.

[Neovereign]

Seki
>"Yes."

>Check our neck to see if our mark is still there

Aya:

> "... What's...?"
> Stumble over to Suzaku and Ami and store them inside our chest as well.

Seki:

> You think so? Seems a bit different.
> "Good." Flandre says, leaning against the cart, and falling asleep
> "Seriously Flan?" Remilia sighs. "Sakuya, make sure she doesn't... burn her... oufi"
> And Remilia does the same. It looks like a few others around here decided to take a nap as well?
> Speaking of your chariot, you can hear a bit of music coming from it. Not loud or anything.

Aya:

> You store your employees as well, feeling like you can't go on. Your eyes refuse to stay open.
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"That was an anticlimactic resolution."

>Adjust Flandre and Remilia so they are in a comfortable position

>Turn to Mokou and Youmu
->"Did you do that?"

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> If we can and haven't already, take the tiny Cirno into our chest as well from wherever our employees left get.
> Whatever the result of the above, then slump forward on our chest and lie on it, since it is probably large enough to support us at this point.

[Neovereign]

Seki

>Adjust Flandre and Remilia so they are in a comfortable position

>Turn to Mokou and Youmu

> Whatever the result of the above, then slump forward on our chest and lie on it, since it is probably large enough to support us at this point.

Aya:

> You don't even spot her again before you find yourself having drifted off...

Seki:

> You at least make sure they two are comfortable.
> "No." Mokou answers.
> "Not me eit-" Youmu pauses, her face going a bit pale. "E-Ehh?"
> From each of the bodies of those that have fallen asleep, a phantom, smaller than Youmu's other body, emerges. Though they're all still sticking out of their... "hosts".
> "How strange..." Byakuren's phantom puts a hand to her cheek in thought.
> Strange. Most of them are orb-like similar to Youmu's. Byakuren's is instead closely similar to her own body, right below her.
> "Hmhm... Everyone's spirits are leaving their bodies?" Miko questions, seeming a bit tired, but not asleep. "I'm a bit disappointed you succumbed to such, Byakuren."
> "It's just an astral projection." The plain girl interrupts, also in the same state as Byakuren. Though, her spirit soon returns to her body, now seeming quite lively. "See? We're skilled compared to the rest."
> "...Nevermind." Miko says, upon Byakuren managing to do the same. "I wonder if staying within Aya would've allowed me to help her avoid this. Or avoid this myself. Hm..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Are we aware of anything?

[Kilgamayan]

Come to think of it...

Ami:

> Are we aware of anything?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"OK, that is unusual."

>Try to put our head back on

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Are we aware of anything?

Come to think of it...

Ami:

> Are we aware of anything?

Seki
>"OK, that is unusual."

>Try to put our head back on

Aya Unavailable

Seki:

> You put your head back on, the flame subsiding.
> Though, no one seems to go back to normal.
