Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 4

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Wrap an arm around Suzaku and gently pull her in closer to us, squishing her up against what she loves so much.
> To Dai: "Thank you. Before any of us depart, though, I need to speak briefly with you and all heads of household present on an important matter. Well, perhaps aside from Lady Toyosatomimi, who has already been involved."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Speaking of fairykind, what is a fairy?  You said I was one and apparently part demon."

>Put Cirno's soul back

>Put Cirno's soul back

//One un-notable birthday later...
Aya:

> You pull Suzaku in closer.
> "Alright. What is it?" Daiyousei asks.

Seki:

> "A dullahan, I think." The devil says. "Something like a fairy, and an undead or something at the same time."
> You try, but that resistance still sticks.
> "Ah ah, she's under our judgement." The devil wags her finger, before lifting up the ice fairy. "You might've gotten stronger and such out of the blue, but no fairy's gonna surpass the Great Fairy. And certainly not a demon when she's got a devil by her side."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Shrug
->"I thought you'd want the soul back inside. So what do I do with it?"

>Scratch the back of our head.
->"I knew Dullahan. . ."
-->"To think I went from youkai to undead fairy."

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Wait, Remilia's around, right? Is she conscious?

[Neovereign]

Seki
>Shrug

->"I knew Dullahan. . ."
-->"To think I went from youkai to undead fairy."

Aya:

> Wait, Remilia's around, right? Is she conscious?

Seki:

> "We can handle it." Daiyousei answers.

> "It should be obvious to anyone who's read up on mystical creatures from the carriage and your head antics." the devil explains.

Aya:

> Yes. She seems to be talking to her sister about something over at the carriage.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, please don't be too hard on Cirno. I imagine she's having a rough time with her status transition."
> "Anyway, for you, Dai, and for Ladies Scarlet, Hijiri, and Shinki, you should know that there are plans in place to form a council of sorts to discuss and plan the future of Gensokyo. The idea being that our land's movers and shakers, such as they are, get together and consider what has happened to us, and how you wish to proceed. Whether you all want to try to undo what had been done or roll with it and consider this an opportunity to move in a new direction. That sort of thing."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Not a lot of books in village."

>"So, what about Chilly?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Oh, please don't be too hard on Cirno. I imagine she's having a rough time with her status transition."

Seki
>"Not a lot of books in village."

>"So, what about Chilly?"

> "I'm gonna see if she wants to be two or one like that again." Daiyousei says. "You didn't really give her a chance with what you did. And it didn't look like Sekibanki was figuring out how to either."

> "Alright. Just call me up whenever, then. I might not be as well known as Cirno with other species, but I should still be able to get to you. Might want to find a fairy to make it easier..."
> "Or make a summoning circle." Koa says.
> "I'm not a demon."
> "I mean like a fairy ring."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Does it appear Remilia, Byakuren, or Shinki heard anything we just said?
> Frown a bit.
> "I didn't know any of what just happened was going to happen."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Whistle innocently

>"Fairy ring?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Does it appear Remilia, Byakuren, or Shinki heard anything we just said?
> Frown a bit.
> "I didn't know any of what just happened was going to happen."

Seki
>Whistle innocently

>"Fairy ring?"

Aya:

> Yes? Remilia stopped her berating.
> "Sekibanki here extracted most of our souls."
> "Then You putting both Cirno's in that place likely made one of them assimilate, since they're both Cirno. But its not like either is dead at least."

Seki:

> "like a circle made out of plants and such rooted underground. I think. Well, it's easier to find a fairy instead. Or just have Rose and Bluer around." The devil says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How is Suzaku handling having her face pressed into her new favorite location? Is she still also enjoying us with her hands?
> What's Ami up to?
> "That makes sense. I would object to any claims it was done intentionally, but I apologize for any inconvenience my actions and lack of knowledge have wrought all the same."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"That was an accident."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How is Suzaku handling having her face pressed into her new favorite location? Is she still also enjoying us with her hands?
> What's Ami up to?
> "That makes sense. I would object to any claims it was done intentionally, but I apologize for any inconvenience my actions and lack of knowledge have wrought all the same."

Seki
>"That was an accident."

Aya:

> Not really. She's just accepting it. You wonder if she's still disappointed.
> She's standing beside Koa for something?
> "Just consider the outcomes more, and if it's better than the current situation. Speaking of, we should probably watch out for anyone else that could repeat what Seki did."

Seki:

> "I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, and that Aya didn't mean to scramble any souls." The devil says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Of course."
> Lessen our hold on Suzaku, so that she can easily escape if she wants to.
> Look to Koa.
> "By the way, I think one of my subordinates needs you for something."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Of course."
> Lessen our hold on Suzaku, so that she can easily escape if she wants to.
> Look to Koa.
> "By the way, I think one of my subordinates needs you for something."

Aya:

> You lessen, but Suzaku doesn't pull apart.
> "Oh right. Oops." Koa looks over at Ami.
> "You know, i really didn't expect to have my soul messed with so much when I came with you..."  Ami speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Neither did I. I'd bet even Lord Tenma didn't expect...well, all of that."

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Do we remember any youkai like us

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Neither did I. I'd bet even Lord Tenma didn't expect...well, all of that."

Seki
>Do we remember any youkai like us

Seki:

> You don't.

Aya:

> "Well, we got through. Things can't go worse than that did, can it?"
>_

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Chilly seemed pretty different from the Cirno I met."

>Eye the ice fairy bodies
->"Aren't fairy bodies supposed to disintegrate?"

>Poke Chilly's cheek
->Does our flame feel like it brings life?

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Glance down at Suzaku, then look back up at Ami.
> "Worse than literal death? Probably not, no, even given Gensokyo's recent radical alterations."
> "...You worried about how dangerous being in my care is going to be?"

> "...You worried about how dangerous being in my care is going to be?"

Seki:

> The devil seems to be carefully carrying them both.
> "Regenerate. And it probably has something to do with the fact that they have no soul now." The devil considers.

> You aren't close enough to.
> It doesn't feel like such, as far as you can tell.
> You wonder if it'll burn everything you eat from now on...

Aya:

> "That's good." Ami responds, though not to your own inquiry.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> To Ami: "Anyway, it seems that what has happened here has wrapped up. Are you ready to continue onward? There's a few places I want to check on."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> To Ami: "Anyway, it seems that what has happened here has wrapped up. Are you ready to continue onward? There's a few places I want to check on."

Aya:

> Ami looks around.
> "Yeah. It looks like everyone's mostly settled down after that."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Nod at Ami.
> To Dai: "I'll leave Cirno to you, then. But when she wakes up, please remind her that I'm not at all disappointed in her. Her actions today have forced a few powerful entities to put respect on her name, and on your species in general. To me, the actual outcomes of any fights she's had are secondary to that. And I wouldn't be surprised if those that look up to her feel the same way."

Aya:

> "She probably could've been an issue if she fought me after you. Seems like she was getting better quickly after fighting someone stronger. Thats a bit unfair, honestly..." Daiyousei frowns. "Now... maybe Lily will clean up the lingering snow?"
> "If you want to talk to her now, we can-"
> "A-Ahem... I need a minute to figure out exactly how to do this Koa..." The big fairy whispers.
> "Oh. Uh, yeah, we need to make sure she won't try to attack anyone after that whole soul sucking thing..." Koakuma corrects aloud.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "She wasn't going to fight me. I never had any intention of fighting her, and even if she made the first aggressive move, I trust that she wouldn't keep swinging at me once it became clear I wasn't going to fight back."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "She wasn't going to fight me. I never had any intention of fighting her, and even if she made the first aggressive move, I trust that she wouldn't keep swinging at me once it became clear I wasn't going to fight back."

Aya:

> "Hm... I believe you."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "...Actually, come to think of it...if you're concerned about her behavior, why not put her soul in me first? If Suzaku here is any indication, we might learn more about what she truly wants and needs, and be better able to accommodate her as a result."
