Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 6

[Neovereign]

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.

Seki:

> You make a head and have it fly upwards.
> It gets fairly high, but after a certain point, it fails to be capable of flying, and falls back down. Though it recovers before worryingly long.
> "You can get further than that, right?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Watch the flying head with curiosity.

Sekihead:

> Try getting higher.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Watch the flying head with curiosity.

Sekihead:

> Try getting higher.

Aya:

> You watch, wondering what the attempt is even for.

Seki:

> You keep trying to fly higher, yet this invisible limit still seems to be present, where you can no longer fly until you drop back down some.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "I can't, no."

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> "I can't, no."

Seki:

> "Hm." The horned head flies up,  passing yours...
> Only to fall back to your height.
> "The hell?" She comments.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> Shrug.
> "That's just how it is now."

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> Shrug.
> "That's just how it is now."

Seki:

> "So this is that problem thing you said was happening in Gensokyo and other places? I see..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "It's more a symptom of the overall issue, but yes. Hey, by the way, you don't mind if I carry that head of yours around, do you?"
> Retrieve our Bankihead, show it off, then return it to where we pulled it from.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "It's more a symptom of the overall issue, but yes. Hey, by the way, you don't mind if I carry that head of yours around, do you?"
> Retrieve our Bankihead, show it off, then return it to where we pulled it from.

Aya:

> "Since we're limited in how far away it can fly from us, I guess that'd be the best way to keep it from taking up your hands all the time." The horned girl seems to agree to such.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Aces. Thanks."

Seki:

> "Would it be a problem for you if we stopped at the haniwa god's place on our way out? Aya hasn't met her properly yet."
> Bring out floating head back down and unmake it.
> Do we still have possession of the woman's extra loose head? If so, carry it over to Aya.

Aya:

> If we are brought the loose head, take it and place it on our chest, enough down into it that it's secure and won't easily fall out but not so far that it goes in all the way.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Aces. Thanks."

Seki:

> "Would it be a problem for you if we stopped at the haniwa god's place on our way out? Aya hasn't met her properly yet."
> Bring out floating head back down and unmake it.
> Do we still have possession of the woman's extra loose head? If so, carry it over to Aya.

Aya:

> If we are brought the loose head, take it and place it on our chest, enough down into it that it's secure and won't easily fall out but not so far that it goes in all the way.

Seki:

> You descend, as does the horned girl's head, though over to Aya.
> "I got no issue with that." The horned girl states. She seems nice so far.

Aya:

> You seat the head on your pillows.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Aya Shameimaru. A pleasure."
> Gently pat the head's hair.

Seki:

> Get back in the driver's spot.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Aya Shameimaru. A pleasure."
> Gently pat the head's hair.

Seki:

> Get back in the driver's spot.

Aya:

> You pat the head, but it does not meet your gaze.

Seki:

> You return to your seat.
> "Good luck on getting to that goddess' place safely." The horned girl speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Adopt a thoughtful expression for a moment, then try giving Suzaku a wind order to get back into our chest. If she makes a move for us, gently lift the horned woman's head out of the way, and set her back down once Suzaku's in.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Adopt a thoughtful expression for a moment, then try giving Suzaku a wind order to get back into our chest. If she makes a move for us, gently lift the horned woman's head out of the way, and set her back down once Suzaku's in.

Aya:

> You try to give Suzaku a wind order, and she readies to do so, lifting the horned woman's head for you.
> Surprisingly, she manages to get in while positioning to rest the horned woman back on you. Well, mostly on you. You need to adjust her a bit, but she did decently well. Though, the increase probably would've made her fall in fully if she wasn't positioned like that, so maybe you were lucky.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> ...Huh.
> Look over at Iizunamaru, gesturing at our chest.
> "Whaddaya think, Boss? Wanna get back in?"

Seki:

> Locate 'Keiki Haniyasushin'.
> Then drive our cart to her.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> ...Huh.
> Look over at Iizunamaru, gesturing at our chest.
> "Whaddaya think, Boss? Wanna get back in?"

Seki:

> Locate 'Keiki Haniyasushin'.
> Then drive our cart to her.

Aya:

> "Sure. I'm sure you're feeling a bit down about the whole big double headed wolf thing." Megumu responds.

Seki:

> You make your way to Keiki, finding her in another, more cluttered room. It's a miracle you didn't knock anything down.
> "Ah, you're still alive." Keiki greets you, beside heading towards a curtain in the middle of the room
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "I mean, kinda, I suppose. Though I was more asking in case you wanted to get back to your rest."
> Gently lift the horned woman's head up so Boss can fit herself in.

Seki:

> "Yeah, we're on our way out. Wanted to stop here one last time before that, though."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "I mean, kinda, I suppose. Though I was more asking in case you wanted to get back to your rest."
> Gently lift the horned woman's head up so Boss can fit herself in.

Seki:

> "Yeah, we're on our way out. Wanted to stop here one last time before that, though."

Aya:

> You lift the horned woman again, letting Megumu join as well.

Seki:

> "Hm, what for? Did you end up encountering Yachie again?" Keiki heads behind the curtain.
> for a moment, you can see Mayumi behind there as well.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "No, just that the other Gensokyo native I told you about hadn't been able to meet you yet."

Aya:

> Gently set the horned head back down in its seat.
> "Ah, yeah, that's me."
> Hop out of the cart.

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> "No, just that the other Gensokyo native I told you about hadn't been able to meet you yet."

Aya:

> Gently set the horned head back down in its seat.
> "Ah, yeah, that's me."
> Hop out of the cart.

Aya:

> You hop out, to which the woman peeks back out.
> "Ah, hello. Sorry for the fragmented attention. I'm modifying Mayumi right now. Actually, given you are the inspiration, I suppose I could share the progress."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> How does this woman look?
> Tilt our head slightly.
> "I'm the what now?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> How does this woman look?
> Tilt our head slightly.
> "I'm the what now?"

Aya:

> You can't see much of her with her mostly behind the curtain. She has blue hair, at least.
> "Your friend told me you were carring others in some way, right? Or maybe she meant a different friend. My apologies if so.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "No, that's me. I got a couple of different on-person storage options, so to speak."

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "No, that's me. I got a couple of different on-person storage options, so to speak."

Aya:

> "A couple?" She questions, though continues her work.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Yup. I can show you once you're able. Don't want to interrupt what you're doing."
> Gently pet the horned head some more.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Yup. I can show you once you're able. Don't want to interrupt what you're doing."
> Gently pet the horned head some more.

Aya:

> You pat the horned woman's head.
> "I'm not a pet, you know." She responds.
> "Is that, um... Yuuma, was it?" Keiki peeks back out. "Eh!? Did you decapitate her?" She steps out fully.
> You can see that she has an apron on with a bunch of small tools in the pockets. Some sharp, some blunt.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Seki:

> "...We never actually got her name, to be honest."

Aya:

> "She decapitated herself, actually. With a little help. But she's fine."
> Look down at the horned head.
> "Do you want me to stop, then?"

[Neovereign]

Seki:

> "...We never actually got her name, to be honest."

Aya:

> "She decapitated herself, actually. With a little help. But she's fine."
> Look down at the horned head.
> "Do you want me to stop, then?"

Aya:

> "Oh. Yeah, I'm Yuuma Toutetsu. You've got nothing to worry about by the way, I goddess." The head speaks. "I'm not here to spy or anything."
> "A peaceful visit then, hm." The woman returns to her work.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Yeah, she's coming along with us because she can. The rest of her is elsewhere, including her original head."
