Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 4

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Where are we now?

[Neovereign]

???:

> Do we know where this Aya is?

Seki
>Where are we now?

???:

> Somewhere in the air? Or maybe on the mountain. Much higher than here at least.
> Mountain... ah right! She's that tengu from the crazy seasons incident.

Seki:

> Heading into the mist of the lake. A minute or two would get you to the Mansion, unless you speed up.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

???:

> How quickly can we get to the mountain?
> Can we get an audience with any of the mountain's major players?

[Neovereign]

???:

> How quickly can we get to the mountain?
> Can we get an audience with any of the mountain's major players?

Eternity:

> You're just a fairy. You don't think you can... someone else will probably help her anyways.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Maybe...but something called to us specifically.  Who knows if anyone else has that feeling...
> What abilities do we have?

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> Maybe...but something called to us specifically.  Who knows if anyone else has that feeling...
> What abilities do we have?

Eternity:

> But it's cold... besides, would she really be depending on you?
> Maybe that's why. Because it has to be you.
> Who are you to ignore something so direct... you're not getting much warmer lying here anyways.

> You have a few methods of controlling parts of your body for offense, defense, and maybe utility.
> You can also do a bit with life force. Or life energy. Though you're not sure exactly how much yet. Not like you go messing around with it, and probably shouldn't.
> But given how you've changed with the moon stuff, maybe you should try more anyways.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> What has changed for us since the moon thing?
> Could we use our life force/energy talents to warm ourselves up?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Watch how our horses run on the air
->Do we notice anything

>"Come on, we're almost home!"
->Have our horses run faster

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> Could we use our life force/energy talents to warm ourselves up?

Seki

>"Come on, we're almost home!"
->Have our horses run faster

Eternity:

> You've gotten both physically and magically different. Bigger. Better maybe? Stronger.

> You don't think so?

Seki:

> Nothing stands out past what you've already seen. They don't appear to be getting tired.

> You speed up, reaching the gate in seconds.
> Some fairy maids appear to be out here.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Consider our other known abilities. Could we apply any of them to warm ourselves or someone else?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Smile and wave to the fairies

>Do we see Meiling

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> Consider our other known abilities. Could we apply any of them to warm ourselves or someone else?

Seki
>Smile and wave to the fairies

>Do we see Meiling

Eternity:

> You'd have done so if you thought you could... without burning anything, that is.

Seki:

> The fairies notice and pause.
> "Whoa... What happened to you?"
> "It's so cold out here. Maybe she did that to fight the cold?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Well, if we're going to do this, let's do this.
> How well can we fly while keeping our blanket wrapped around us?
> Come to think of it, how do we look now that we've been changed by the moon? Are we just kinda scaled-up larger, or did our body fill out in what would be considered conventionally attractive ways?
> ...Come to think of that, do we even care about such things on anything more than a superficial level, given fairies usually aren't about that lifestyle? We are pretty atypical as far as fairies go...

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"An effect of the moon."
->beat
-->"What do you think of the look?"

[Neovereign]

-->"What do you think of the look?"

Eternity:

> You don't think you can well. Your upper body would be partly exposed for your wings...
> You'd say so. Even your wings are a bit bigger. You should be bigger than that big fairy seen around, if she didn't grow, too.
> You don't think of yourself as a normal fairy anyways. It's fine if others. Eleven that, you aren't going to have the world look at you specifically. You don't need to be number one, but it's nice to look good, at least.

Seki:

> "It's cool!"
> "You look cute!"
> "Oh, but is everyone alright?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> ...Did we examine our chest more closely to see what it was like when it first grew that large?
> Get out from inside our blanket, lay it back down on our bed, and have a peek outside through a window or something. How does it look out there?

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> ...Did we examine our chest more closely to see what it was like when it first grew that large?
> Get out from inside our blanket, lay it back down on our bed, and have a peek outside through a window or something. How does it look out there?

Eternity:

> No.
> You fight and eventually beat the comfort of your blanket.
> You are in the Forest of Magic. Even underground, it was still cold. It's not better up here..
> The forest is blanketed in snow. You can see some other fairies playing in it.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> How much larger are we than they?
> Do we recognize any of them?
> Do they appear bothered by the cold at all?
> Head outside, making sure to immediately close our door behind us to preserve what little warmth there might be in there.

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> How much larger are we than they?
> Do we recognize any of them?
> Do they appear bothered by the cold at all?
> Head outside, making sure to immediately close our door behind us to preserve what little warmth there might be in there.

Eternity:

> Doesn't seem like they grew like you did. Maybe you're lucky.
> Nope.
> Given they're wearing more, youd say so.
> You enter the cold outdoors.
> Your body starts to freeze. You can't feel your feet... your wings stiffen up completely.
> In seconds, you cant move...

>...

> Ugh, it's so cold! Maybe you're overreacting, given your feet aren't freezing despite being barefoot,  but you wish you had more warmth!
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Do we have any extra clothes we can put on? Something with long sleeves, stockings, socks, shoes, anything?

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> Do we have any extra clothes we can put on? Something with long sleeves, stockings, socks, shoes, anything?

Eternity:

> No...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Gods damnit.
> Where's Piece likely hanging around at? We should be able to use that torch of hers to fix this.
> Can we absorb life force/energy from others into ourselves?

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> Gods damnit.
> Where's Piece likely hanging around at? We should be able to use that torch of hers to fix this.
> Can we absorb life force/energy from others into ourselves?

Eternity:

> You'd believe the Hakurei Shrine. U less she changed too, you don't think you could fix this with her.
> You aren't actually sure.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Maybe not on a grand scale, but we could at least do what we did with her torch last time and produce some local heat, right?
> "Uargh, this bites! It's so freakin' cold! Who thought this was a good idea?!"
> Take flight and head to the Hakurei Shrine in search of Piece.

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> Maybe not on a grand scale, but we could at least do what we did with her torch last time and produce some local heat, right?
> "Uargh, this bites! It's so freakin' cold! Who thought this was a good idea?!"
> Take flight and head to the Hakurei Shrine in search of Piece.

Eternity:

> Surely...
> You start for the Hakurei Shrine, wasting no time trying to solve this.
> You wonder how you'll help Aya if this turns up useless...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> We'll just have to test it once we get there. If it doesn't work, Reimu will probably have an idea. That's her job, after all!
> ...Mentally compare our current body size and shape to Reimu's. Are we taller than her now? Are we curvier than her now?

[Philosopher]

Seki
>"Everyone is safe in the cart."

[Neovereign]

Eternity:

> We'll just have to test it once we get there. If it doesn't work, Reimu will probably have an idea. That's her job, after all!
> ...Mentally compare our current body size and shape to Reimu's. Are we taller than her now? Are we curvier than her now?

Seki
>"Everyone is safe in the cart."

Eternity:

> You're not sure if you beat her. It might be close? Then again, you haven't seen her in a while.

Seki:

> "That's good. I think we need miss Patchouli to unfreeze some things."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Eternity:

> Guess we'll find out when we get there. Hmm, maybe we could try absorbing life force from her into ourselves. Hmm hmm hmm~...
> ...
> ...Maybe not. That sounds terrifying, actually.
> We can just try it on Piece when we get there. Keep moving your butt, Larvafly.

[Philosopher]

Seki
>Are we cold?

>Pull the carriage up
->Open the door for our passengers
