Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 6

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Shrug.
> "What sort of recompense might you want, then?"

Aya:

> "Doesn't sound like you have much to offer I take it?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "It's more that I don't know what you would want. Just because I don't have something tangible I can offer in the immediate doesn't mean I can't track that tangible thing down on request."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "It's more that I don't know what you would want. Just because I don't have something tangible I can offer in the immediate doesn't mean I can't track that tangible thing down on request."

Aya:

> "So that's a no, then?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> "I suppose not, if having the fastest, best-informed person in Gensokyo willing and able to do a courier run for you holds no appeal to you."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Sigh.
> "I suppose not, if having the fastest, best-informed person in Gensokyo willing and able to do a courier run for you holds no appeal to you."

Aya:

> "Pretty much."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Look to Suzaku and shrug.

Seki:

> "Hey, I did give you that Yachie info I told you about. That's gotta be worth something."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Look to Suzaku and shrug.

Seki:

> "Hey, I did give you that Yachie info I told you about. That's gotta be worth something."

Seki:

> "Fair enough. Alright, anything you wanna know then?" The horned girl turns her attention to you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> Blink.
> "...Uh..."
> Look to the tengu group, then back to the horned woman.
> "...I guess I'm curious what they're talking about when they say you're using something of Aya's. You don't look particularly tengu-y to me..."

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> Blink.
> "...Uh..."
> Look to the tengu group, then back to the horned woman.
> "...I guess I'm curious what they're talking about when they say you're using something of Aya's. You don't look particularly tengu-y to me..."

Seki:

> "That Aya girl can control the wind. Though there's a bit more in there. If I had to guess, given almost all winged and airborne creatures are so engrossed in the sky and such, she can sort of puppet them around, with the strings being wind itself. I could use a bit of it because I can absorb anything, and anything I absorb, I understand and can make use of myself."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "Oh."

Aya:

> Blink.
> "...When did you absorb me? I feel like I'd remember that happening..."

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> "Oh."

Aya:

> Blink.
> "...When did you absorb me? I feel like I'd remember that happening..."

Aya:

> "I don't have to absorb everything, nor even a lot. Just having you around means I can take a quick bite if I like. It's better if I actually do more than absorb what's lingering about, but that doesn't mean it won't work if I don't."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Wow. This place really is something else, huh."
> Frown a bit.
> "I kinda feel bad for Saki...it must be rough maintaining a faction and territory when up against what you two can do."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Wow. This place really is something else, huh."
> Frown a bit.
> "I kinda feel bad for Saki...it must be rough maintaining a faction and territory when up against what you two can do."

Aya:

> "Seems like it's only recently gotten like this. Not like much changes for me. I'm still at the top, but now Yachie's become a bit more of a worry."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, yeah, that probably happened once reality started blending with fantasy earlier today. There have been issues in Gensokyo and the surrounding realms as a result. People that could fly before can't anymore, and humans have been appearing in places they shouldn't. Sounds like you lot only got stronger, though, loss of flight aside. I wonder why that happened?"

Aya:

> The horned girl shrugs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Hmm. It's not a problem if we fix things and the sudden surge of human spirits goes back down, right?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Hmm. It's not a problem if we fix things and the sudden surge of human spirits goes back down, right?"

Aya:

> "I'm not gonna chase after you if something you do outside of here ends up taking me down a peg or such." She explains. "Long as you're not actually being a pest down here."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "That's all I can ask. Alright, folks, let's shove off."
> Hop back into the cart, taking Ami back out and seating her next to us.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "That's all I can ask. Alright, folks, let's shove off."
> Hop back into the cart, taking Ami back out and seating her next to us.

Aya:

> You board the cart once again, and place Ami back out.
> Suzaku follows aboard. Megumu is already on.

Seki:

> "That all you wanted? To ask about your friend there?" The horned girl questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "The topic of what I want is an extremely broad question. How much time do you have?"

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> "The topic of what I want is an extremely broad question. How much time do you have?"

Seki:

> "I wasn't busy when Kurokoma came flying by, and I'm not busy now." She shrugs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "..."
> Look like we're going to say something, but then stop, and shift to a more pensive look.
> "...You can use people's abilities that you've absorbed, right? Does that mean, if you absorbed mine, you'd be able to do this?"
> Hold a hand out and spawn a head in it.

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> Hold a hand out and spawn a head in it.

Seki:

> You make a head, to which the horned girl also does such, letting it float beside her.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> Point at the horned woman's new second head.
> "Could we bring that you with us?"

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> Point at the horned woman's new second head.
> "Could we bring that you with us?"

Seki:

> "I'd be stuck having to keep this absorbed. Wait a moment..." The horned woman squats down in heavy thought...
> ...
> The floating head she possesses floats to your side.
> "Yeah, I think this will be fine." She sits down fully, chuckling a bit to herself.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> Unmake the new head of our own that we just created, and take the horned woman's floating head in our hands.
> "Thanks. Though, how'd you get it to stay afloat? Mine just thunk to the ground now if they get too far away."

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> Unmake the new head of our own that we just created, and take the horned woman's floating head in our hands.
> "Thanks. Though, how'd you get it to stay afloat? Mine just thunk to the ground now if they get too far away."

Seki:

> You unmake your new head, and take hold of the one she produced.
> "Maybe it's something about how you view yourself. If your specialty is making your head fly, why would it get stopped by something else if it isn't directly opposing it? Same for the rest of your talents. Though even with them, I feel like Yachie would manage to turn the situation around against me. That's less opposition against the abilities, and more something of her own that can get past it..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "Well, I myself can't fly anymore. Are you saying you can?"
> Blink.
> "...Oh, maybe absorbing Aya's abilities would have done that for you."

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> "Well, I myself can't fly anymore. Are you saying you can?"
> Blink.
> "...Oh, maybe absorbing Aya's abilities would have done that for you."

Seki:

> "I can't fly. The head can though. Even thinking of the entire body as a neck for the head doesn't let me fly. Saki seems to have enough strength in her legs to step off of the air itself, which is a way to fly, if with less control than before things changed. That Aya girl would have an easier method to fly, even without wings."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Wait, what?"

Seki:

> Frown a bit.
> Holding the woman's head in one hand, make another head of our own in our other hand.

New Sekihead:

> Try flying straight upward.
