Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Oh, they're all in the air? Whoops.
> Make our way back to the box and fully resurface so we're with the water entity again.

Youmu:

> "Hey, we all still have much to learn and our trainings to go through. And Miss Aya gets directly involved with stuff all the time. Don't let that get you down."
> "I didn't realize she had taken on subordinates, though. Who are you?"

> "I didn't realize she had taken on subordinates, though. Who are you?"

> You resurface. If not for hitting and splitting the water creature, would it have been low enough for Reimu to barrier it up on the ground? Would you have been able to go under and into the barrier that way, or would it extend under the ground...

> "Aha... not an official subordinate. It's more that I just follow her. You can call me Suzaku."
> "Why don't we just say all the eared and horned people we know of and see which one it reacts to?" Kogasa says.
> "That's implying they know their names." Reimu says.
> "Oh. Right." Kogasa rescinds.

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Now that we've had the chance to interact with her in public for a bit, in what way was/is Suzaku so immediately obviously different from Aya that was embarrassing to consider?
> Smile.
> "A pleasure, Miss Suzaku. I am Youmu Konpaku, a half-phantom from Hakugyokurou."
> Offer a hand for a shake.

Myon:

> The box might have a bottom, too...does it have a top?
> Glance at the entity, then back to the group.
> "What about that one person you were theorizing about previously? 'Seija', I think?"

> She's got more meat on her all around. But despite that, she's still fast enough for you to lose track of her with no indication of where she was headed. Maybe you just weren't paying attention enough, though. Unless she can teleport?
> "Half phantom? Huh." The tengu shakes your hand. "That sounds cool. Ah, right, while I'm here, what kind of creature is this?" Suzaku gestures to the water creature.
> "It's smart enough to understand us, but it can't talk." Sanae explains.

> It's sealed on all four sides... It's more rectangular in that sense though, with more verticality.
> "Well she's made people before in a way." Reimu says. "But those were Tsukumogami, and thanks to the Miracle Mallet Shinmyoumaru has. I don't think she can make creatures on her own."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "We're still trying to figure it out. It's made of water and normally looks similar to Miss Nitori here, but we don't know much more than that."

Myon:

> "No, I mean, does this dress and those ears, or horns, or whatever, look like they could be part of your Seija?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "We're still trying to figure it out. It's made of water and normally looks similar to Miss Nitori here, but we don't know much more than that."

Myon:

> "No, I mean, does this dress and those ears, or horns, or whatever, look like they could be part of your Seija?"

> "Oh. Well, she does have horns." Reimu considers. "But the dress... I guess they could be her arrows? But these are just triangles."
> "They do alternate though, a bit." Sanae points out.
> "Yeah. No color, but I can see it." Reimu says. "We'd still have to find her, though."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Would you like to join our investigation, Miss Suzaku? It would be nice to have you along, for multiple reasons."

Myon:

> Look to the water entity.
> "Are you trying to show us that Seija made you?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Would you like to join our investigation, Miss Suzaku? It would be nice to have you along, for multiple reasons."

Myon:

> Look to the water entity.
> "Are you trying to show us that Seija made you?"

> "Ah, I can't, sorry." Suzaku responds.

> The creature just stares at you, as if it doesn't even know what language you spoke.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Why not?"

Myon:

> Shrug at the others.
> "Well, you were planning to seek her out before all this anyway..."
> Look back to the entity.
> "Out of curiosity, what would happen if we took that device above your head. Would that hurt or damage you?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Look back to the entity.
> "Out of curiosity, what would happen if we took that device above your head. Would that hurt or damage you?"

> "You'd get in big trouble if they find out you were at the human village." She says. "I'll keep an eye out for weird things and horned people on the mountain, though."
> "We don't actually have-"
> The Tengu flies off in a dash before Reimu can finish.
> "To go... to the village. Whatever."

> The creature moves away, pressing against the opposite side of the barrier.
> "Seems like a yes." Nitori says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Mmm, unfortunate. Next time we see Miss Aya, we should ask about her subordinate."

Myon:

> "Okay, okay, don't worry, we won't take it from you."
> Look to Reimu.
> "I have a request, Reimu. I would like to serve as transport for our new friend here. In the event the device above her head is similar to the ribbon..."
> Hold up the ribbon arm again.
> "...I believe I am uniquely suited to having it on my person without taking it away from her, as well as gathering and holding water to keep her sustained."

> "It's a prisoner now?" Sanae questions.
> "If we end up having to move it, I guess. But you sure? If it is Seija, and we have to go against her, you're at a disadvantage without your phantom half." Reimu says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> "If that comes to pass, I can simply let her go if need be."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> "If that comes to pass, I can simply let her go if need be."

> "Alright. I'm not responsible if something goes wrong, then."
> Reimu releases the barrier, freeing the creature.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Smile at the entity while gently approaching it.
> "We will find you some water for our travels, okay?"
> If the entity does not try to escape, engulf it, device and all, with the intent of keeping it within us.

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Smile at the entity while gently approaching it.
> "We will find you some water for our travels, okay?"
> If the entity does not try to escape, engulf it, device and all, with the intent of keeping it within us.

> The creature seems to settle down at the mention of water, as if it was going to try and elude you as you got closer.
> You pass their the water, trying to contain it.
> The device actually moves down to let you pass through it, or the other way around, rather.
> it seems like it's a bit tight for the creature given the device keeps floating a certain distance above its head, but it fits...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Can we feel anything from the creature?
> Can we feel anything from the device?

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Can we feel anything from the creature?
> Can we feel anything from the device?

I You don't notice anything special.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> "Thank you for trusting me. May I assume that device is completely off-limits for touching and inspecting and the like?"

Youmu:

> "Are we going back up the mountain, then?"

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> "Thank you for trusting me. May I assume that device is completely off-limits for touching and inspecting and the like?"

Youmu:

> "Are we going back up the mountain, then?"

> The creature nods. Though can it really stop Myon from just looking at it?

> "I suppose next would be the castle." Reimu looks up.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "There's a castle on top of the mountain? I didn't see one up there..."

Myon:

> "As you wish. Ah, now that we are like this, perhaps you can try to communicate with me mentally, or emotionally in a way I will feel, or something like that?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "There's a castle on top of the mountain? I didn't see one up there..."

Myon:

> "As you wish. Ah, now that we are like this, perhaps you can try to communicate with me mentally, or emotionally in a way I will feel, or something like that?"

> "It's in the skies above it." Sanae adds

> ...
> You don't hear any success of such, if it tried...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> "Mmm, perhaps not. Or, at least, not yet. Anyway, would you care for a companion, should we find someone willing to join you in there?"

Youmu:

> "A castle in the sky? How does that work?!"

Myon:

> To Sanae: "Um, pardon me, but would it be acceptable to take some of your shrine's pond's water? I don't know if I'll be able to return it, but if I can, I will."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> The creature looks again like you're speaking foreign words to it.

> "It's inverted. Could be Seija's own doing, or the miracle Mallet making it that way."

> "I'm sure my goddesses wouldn't mind you taking a bit. It's a big lake after all." Sanae agrees.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Oh. Uh, okay. You'll need to lead the way, then."

Myon:

> Nod to Sanae.
> "Thank you."
> Look to the kappa.
> "Would you like to join your water self, Miss Nitori? Perhaps you would learn something from such closer proximity."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Oh. Uh, okay. You'll need to lead the way, then."

Myon:

> Nod to Sanae.
> "Thank you."
> Look to the kappa.
> "Would you like to join your water self, Miss Nitori? Perhaps you would learn something from such closer proximity."

> "I'll be taking this chance to get back to my business now that the lookalike is... captured." Nitori answers. "It's been bothering me since it looks like me, and kept going after water around us. You have fun."
> "You're passing up the chance to study it?" Sanae asks, as Reimu heads into the sky.
> "I'll probably get to it when it's not an asset to an incident. And when I finish my other things, at least... I don't want a bigger backlog."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Follow Reimu upward.

Myon:

> "As you wish. Until we meet again, then."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Follow Reimu upward.

Myon:

> "As you wish. Until we meet again, then."

> "Cya." Nitori waves off.

> You follow Reimu into the sky, as do Sanae and Kogasa.
> It takes a but, but you soon see what they were talking about. There's a giant castle, just floating in the sky. What's more is its completely upside down, as if you're about to hit a point where gravity reverses.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "... Why is it upside-down?"

Myon:

> Wave back.
> Then begin flying back up toward Sanae's shrine.
> "So it is just you and me, then. I don't suppose you might have an idea for how to communicate your name?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "... Why is it upside-down?"

Myon:

> Wave back.
> Then begin flying back up toward Sanae's shrine.
> "So it is just you and me, then. I don't suppose you might have an idea for how to communicate your name?"

> "It's either Seija's doing, or something with the miracle mallet. Both are possible." Reimu explains. "Seija can flip things or something."

> You start for Sanae's shrine.
> The creature points to the device hovering above it.
