Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

[Kilgamayan]

> "Pardon us, but what is happening here?"

[Neovereign]

> "Pardon us, but what is happening here?"

> "Cat!" The fairies all speak in... explanation.
> One of the spirits manages to take the chance to attack the vulnerable holder of the cat, making her release it.
> The cat jumps off towards the ground, but the fairies are quick to fly after it.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Try to have our phantom half run for this cat to catch it!

[Neovereign]

> Try to have our phantom half run for this cat to catch it!

> You send your phantom half after the cat. The fairies almost make it, though once the cat hits the ground, it rushes off at a higher speed than the fairies can keep up.
> You, however, are another case, and your phantom half easily catches up to and grabs-
> Ah, the cat evaded you...
> E-Even with keeping pace, it seems like the cat is one step ahead of every movement you make to catch it. How did the fairies catch it in the first place when you can't?
> Then again, you feel like you're screwing up every time you go to grab it.
> Alice and Miko head for the cat to catch up
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How far apart can our halves be?

[Neovereign]

> How far apart can our halves be?

> You haven't tested before. It's usually a bad idea to go far from one of your halves, since it means you have to pay attention to both of your bodies and the area around at the same time.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Chase after the cat with our human half as well, then, trying to keep our human on one side of it and our phantom on the other to restrict its movements.

[Neovereign]

> Chase after the cat with our human half as well, then, trying to keep our human on one side of it and our phantom on the other to restrict its movements.

> You follow the two after the cat, outspeeding both of them, though the dolls Alice is starting to send do keep up a little.
> You've got the cat sandwiched in position between you and your phantom half now.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Prepare our human half to Receive Cat.
> Then bank toward the cat with our phantom half with the goal of driving it toward our human half, which we can then use to scoop it up.

[Neovereign]

> Prepare our human half to Receive Cat.
> Then bank toward the cat with our phantom half with the goal of driving it toward our human half, which we can then use to scoop it up.

> Your phantom half dives a bit lower than you intend, with the cat jumping into the air, then using Myon as a footstool to break for the opposite direction.
> A good plan, if not for Alice's dolls immediately converging on it like beasts.
> By the time Myon bounces off the ground, the cat is strung up in place by multiple dolls and strings, with Alice and Miko starting to slow down as they catch up.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Have our human help our phantom back up as we all gather together.

[Neovereign]

> Have our human help our phantom back up as we all gather together.

> You link back up with the others.
> "Alright Orin, don't try anything funny. Your trick of the day won't work on me." Alice warns.
> The cat shakes it's head, and Alice soon falls to the gro-
> Ah, some of her dolls catch her, and she quickly recovers before you can see much of her spirit leave.
> The dolls retaliate by spraying the cat's face with water, causing it to cry out in discomfort and struggle.
> "That's strange." Miko notes.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Human: "What is it?"
> Move our phantom half to the cat and fully engulf it, taking in whatever dolls and strings that are along the way so that they can keep the cat secured.

[Neovereign]

> Human: "What is it?"
> Move our phantom half to the cat and fully engulf it, taking in whatever dolls and strings that are along the way so that they can keep the cat secured.

> You try to engulf the cat, but it seems like you're kept firmly at bay from it. Likely by the cat itself.
> "It doesn't seem like it's doing this on purpose." Miko speaks. "At least, it doesn't want to."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Back off from the cat, then.
> "I see...a shame it can't talk to us and tell us what's wrong."

[Neovereign]

> Back off from the cat, then.
> "I see...a shame it can't talk to us and tell us what's wrong."

> You back away.
> "Then just turn back into a form that can speak." Alice says.
> The cat meows.
> "You sure are making this harder than it has to be for us." Alice sighs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown a bit in concern.
> "If there's information you can provide on this matter, we'd appreciate it."

[Neovereign]

> Frown a bit in concern.
> "If there's information you can provide on this matter, we'd appreciate it."

> "Maybe it can't?" Miko considers.
> "What a pain. Then-"
> Alice is interrupted by the spirit thing happening again. Though she recovers, she's notably annoyed.
> "What do we do with her, then?" Alice frowns.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we know of any mind readers?

[Neovereign]

> Do we know of any mind readers?

> You believe you do. A pink haired one, from the underground. You remember her name being Satori.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "We could bring her to a mind-reader, maybe?"

[Neovereign]

> "We could bring her to a mind-reader, maybe?"

> "Her master is a mind reader." Alice explains. "Satori Komeiji. And the underground isn't exactly open to anyone waltzing in from the surface."
> "If it's for an incident, we could just sneak there for a moment." Miko suggests.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What are the fairies up to at the moment? Consider both those that are all together and those whose spirits are separated from their bodies.
> Shrug.
> "We could also just tell Reimu about this and ask permission."

[Neovereign]

> What are the fairies up to at the moment? Consider both those that are all together and those whose spirits are separated from their bodies.
> Shrug.
> "We could also just tell Reimu about this and ask permission."

> None of them followed you for long. There's no more spirit fairies lying about, as it seems they've resurrected from their comrades finishing them off. The mist makes it difficult to see if they're arguing, talking, or going back to playing or something else.

> "It'll be quicker and easier if we just pop in for a moment to ask miss Satori about this."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Alright. I'm fine with that, then. How do we get there?"

[Neovereign]

> "Alright. I'm fine with that, then. How do we get there?"

> "Just take my hand. It seems some people have trouble understanding it if I try to explain." Miko scratches her head.
> Alice shrugs and does so. Her dolls grab onto her hand, still holding the cat closely.
> One of the dolls seems like it's threatening the cat...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Uh, is that doll threatening the cat...?"
> Take Miko's other hand.

[Neovereign]

> "Uh, is that doll threatening the cat...?"
> Take Miko's other hand.

> "They'll be fine." Alice comments.
> You take Miko's hand, and she pulls the two of you aside. Mostly towards the tr-
> You suddenly have the sensation of falling, and realize you are.
> Below you is a large structure, and terrain that doesn't look like the surface.
> "Before we-... Ah." Alice blinks, interrupted as she were from the swiftness of the action.

> You... have no clue how they suddenly vanished. It's like they went straight through the ground... Your poor phantom half was left behind...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Uh."

Myon:

> Try taking on a humanoid form. If we can, land with our feet on the ground and look around.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Uh."

Myon:

> Try taking on a humanoid form. If we can, land with our feet on the ground and look around.

> "We weren't all ready yet, Miko." Alice speaks in annoyance.
> "What else could you need to prepare yourself for?" Miko sighs, floating down with the two of you. "The faster this goes, the less trouble we have."
> "Miss Youmu's other body, for example."
> "Ah." Miko speaks blankly as you all land...

> You take on Youmu's form and land, as much as something perpetually floating can.
> The fairies haven't decided to approach and investigate about the cat and your group yet. It seems like they didn't care much.
