Seija Quest 4

[Tom]

> Crap, so there's nothing we can grab that would support our weight.
> What's directly below us?
> How far do we have to fall before we hit the floor (assuming anything else directly below us wasn't there)?

> Quite the predicament indeed!
> An angry oni.
> Three times your height.

[Kilgamayan]

> And what is that angry oni doing?

[Tom]

> And what is that angry oni doing?

> Preparing an upwards punch.

[Kilgamayan]

> Once we start falling, bank hard to whichever side corresponds to the arm she's prepping to punch us with, in the hopes that we get just outside its range.

[Tom]

> Once we start falling, bank hard to whichever side corresponds to the arm she's prepping to punch us with, in the hopes that we get just outside its range.

> You pull yourself just out of range, causing the oni to whiff and fall over from the lack of resistance.  You don't want to think about what might've happened if that punch connected!
> You land with a roll, ending up on Seija's left side.

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we back on our feet after rolling, or still on the ground?

[Tom]

> Are we back on our feet after rolling, or still on the ground?

> Unfortunately not, but you could get back up on your feet quickly!

[Kilgamayan]

> Spring back onto our feet, then, and check where the oni's head is.

[Tom]

> Spring back onto our feet, then, and check where the oni's head is.

> You regain your footing and notice that the oni has fallen forward from the whiffed punch.

[Kilgamayan]

> Did she just lose her balance, or is she actually close to/on the ground?

[Tom]

> Did she just lose her balance, or is she actually close to/on the ground?

> The oni put so much effort into that punch that she flew forward and fell after missing.

[Kilgamayan]

> If we got enough of a running start, do we think we could jump from behind her and land on her neck/shoulders?

[Tom]

> If we got enough of a running start, do we think we could jump from behind her and land on her neck/shoulders?

> Certainly!

[Kilgamayan]

> Get a running start and jump over the oni from behind to land on her as close to her head as we can get! (Don't get stabbed by a horn.)

[Tom]

> Get a running start and jump over the oni from behind to land on her as close to her head as we can get! (Don't get stabbed by a horn.)

> You clear her head and land just past it!

[Kilgamayan]

> Yamk that crown off!

[Tom]

> Yamk that crown off!

> With a chop you knock the crown off the Oni's head!  In an instant the armor stands go rigid as the magic circle surrounding the room fades into a storm of sparks while Iris starts clapping in celebration with Sariel joining in shortly after!
> Seija rolls over and tries to get up while uttering "T-tired..." before collapsing on the floor once more.

> You're once more Seija Kijin - The Rebellious Amanojaku
> Who was just woken up by rays of sunshine and the sound of various birds chirping outside an open window.

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Just woke up? Weren't we just putting that crown on? What happened?

[Tom]

> ...Just woke up? Weren't we just putting that crown on? What happened?

> The crown... it shall be yours soon.  Wait weren't you just w-
> Your thoughts are interrupted by the sound of several footsteps running towards you.
> "Aunt Seija! Aunt Seija!  You promised to take me to the markets today!"

[Kilgamayan]

> ...'Aunt'? Do we have a sibling that had kids?
> Do we recognize the voice?

[Tom]

> ...'Aunt'? Do we have a sibling that had kids?
> Do we recognize the voice?

> 'Aunt'?  Is it possible you have siblings!?  Or could it be an elaborate ruse you've crafted?  Wait you do remember being called that!  But by who?
> It reminds you of Shinmyoumaru but higher pitched?

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Huh...?"

[Tom]

> "...Huh...?"

> "Hurry up!" the same voice demands while trying to shake you out of bed.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Wha-!"
> Open our eyes to see what miscreant is bothering us!

[Tom]

> "Wha-!"
> Open our eyes to see what miscreant is bothering us!

> You open your eyes to see a short silver haired girl trying to wake you.

[Kilgamayan]

> Does she look like anyone we know?
> "Oy, oy! I'm up, I'm up!"
> Sit up.

[Tom]

> Does she look like anyone we know?
> "Oy, oy! I'm up, I'm up!"
> Sit up.

> She looks familiar but you just can't seem to place a name?
> Just as you sit up two other ladies run into the room with a shocked expression.
> Trying not to make eye contact they explain in sync "Lead Minister we apologize for the Princess' behavior."
> The silver haired girl turns around before becoming a little embarrassed and taking a few steps back "Sorry Seija..."

[Kilgamayan]

> ...?
> Have we ever been Lead Minister of anything?

[Tom]

> ...?
> Have we ever been Lead Minister of anything?

> Some vague memories of a distant dynasty come to mind but one particular thought stands out, this silver haired girl has yet to fulfill an important role.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we recall a rough time period and/or location for this dynasty?
> Do we know a Sagume Kishin?

> Sigh while rubbing our eyes.
> "It's fine, it's fine."
