Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

Youmu:

> "Anyway, uh, I'd be happy to take it back, but I don't really have anything to offer in return..."

Myon:

> Nod with a smile.
> Allow the mermaid to pass into us, holding her within us (so that she doesn't immediately pop out the other side).

> "It's alright, I'm not stingy." Rinnosuke offers his hand with the ribbon. "You did find it first, after all."

> You allow the mermaid to do as she's trying, letting her swim into you, though keeping her from passing back out as much as you can.
> She tumbles a bit trying to fit, still managing to push out from your outline even with your attempts. Though eventually, she gets a hold of her tail in a hug close to herself, and fits neatly without touching any edges.
> You notice her repeat her trick from earlier, and though it expands you a bit, that's only due to pushing your body - which soon pushes her own extremities out.
> "Hm, doesn't work..." She comments.

Myon:

> How do we feel with a mermaid and a bunch of water inside us?
> Are we capable of making our 'skin' pssable in only one direction, where things can go in but not out?
> Is the mermaid's chest sticking partially out of us now that she's grown again?

> Is the mermaid's chest sticking partially out of us now that she's grown again?

> It's not the best feeling... Being underwater already, the water isn't as bothersome and heavy feeling as you suspect it'd normally be.
> You don't think you are.
> Yes.

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Thanks!"
> Untie the ribbon in anticipation of it attaching to us. Maybe it'll improve Myon's abilities too?

Myon:

> Put up a single index finger where the mermaid can see.
> Hold our hands wide open and a little bit apart, and then bring them together while closing them, in the hopes of conveying to the mermaid that she should compress again.

> You try to manually untie the ribbon.
> It's a bit hard to come off, but not impossible.
> Though, you don't even see it move. One moment, it looks like you've finished untying it, the next, it's on your wrist.

> You hold up a finger, respectfully of course, then try to gesture your intent.
> The mermaid complies, returning her size to normal.
> "Sorry I can't get any smaller than this..."

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Do we feel different for having the ribbon on us?
> "Wow. That really is fast."

Myon:

> Do we feel different for having the ribbon on Youmu?
> Smile and give the mermaid a thumbs-up.
> Then hold up an index finger again.
> Stop taking water into ourselves, if we haven't done so already. It's okay if we're not topped off (though it would be nice if we were).
> Will our 'skin' to no longer allow passage of things in or out.
> Then do the compression motion we just did, but in reverse, in the hopes of conveying to the mermaid that she should expand again.

> Not really.

> You don't feel any sudden differences.
> You repeat the gestures in a different way, trying to make sure you keep her from moving out from you.
> The mermaid repeats her growth, though it still results in the same, bypassing your body.

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Anyway, thank you again for everything. Is there anything I can do for you while I'm out and about?"

Myon:

> Frown a bit and make the compression motion again.
> Resume taking water into ourselves. Our goal now is to try to take in more than would normally fit inside our Youmu shape, in the hopes that it pushes our 'skin' outward and makes us larger.

> "If you find anything interesting, drop it off here?" Rinnosuke asks.

> The mermaid undos again.
> You try to take in more water than your "body" limit. Though, it doesn't seem to be working. Like a container, it seems like when you're full, you're full. You can't even stretch yourself out for more with the water itself.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Nod.
> "Sure."

Myon:

> Try pulling at our 'skin' at our stomach with our hands in an attempt to stretch ourselves out to make more room.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Nod.
> "Sure."

Myon:

> Try pulling at our 'skin' at our stomach with our hands in an attempt to stretch ourselves out to make more room.

> "Thanks."

> You try to pull yourself in order to fit more.
> You don't really expand much, however.

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Alright, I'll see you around."
> Exit the shop and head toward the part of the Misty Lake that Myon went in.

Myon:

> Frown some more, then think.
> Then have a realization!
> Stop taking on water and go back to being impermeable.
> Indicate a single index finger to the mermaid again.
> Then try floating upward, back toward the surface.

> You depart from the shop and head for your phantom half.

> You try to float back up to the surface after gesturing. It's not too hard, but you still feel heavy.

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Well, with any luck, we can simply walk around once we surface.
> As we continue floating up to the surface, smile down at Waka.
> Point at our mouth, make a talking motion with our hand, and then point upward a couple of times.

> "Hm..." The mermaid tries to interpret. "Someone to translate for you?"
> You surface, and thus, answer her question with your human half arriving.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Point at Youmu.

Youmu:

> Wave at Myon and her passenger with a smile.
> "Hello, Miss Mermaid! A pleasure for this half of me to finally meet you!"

Myon:

> Float to the shore, but don't try to get out just yet.

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Point at Youmu.

Youmu:

> Wave at Myon and her passenger with a smile.
> "Hello, Miss Mermaid! A pleasure for this half of me to finally meet you!"

Myon:

> Float to the shore, but don't try to get out just yet.

> "H-Hello." The mermaid speaks from within your phantom half.

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Does her demeanor seem to have changed?
> "Would you be okay with me getting out of the lake? You'll still have the water within me to float in."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Does her demeanor seem to have changed?
> "Would you be okay with me getting out of the lake? You'll still have the water within me to float in."

> She seems a bit alarmed.
> "Uh, I'm not sure about that..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Nod.
> "Alright. We can put a pin in that for the time being."
> "Anyway, my name is Youmu Konpalu, and I am half-human, half-phantom. My human typically goes by Youmu, while my phantom typically goes by Myon."

Myon:

> Smile down at Waka and wave slightly.

Youmu:

> "It's very nice to meet you, and it's also nice to finally actually be able to say that to you."
> Gently reach an open hand into Myon toward one of Waka's hands, in the offer of a handshake.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "My name's Wakasagihime." The mermaid accepts teh handshake. "I'm just a mermaid in this lake."

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I wouldn't say 'just'! A mermaid is a cool being to, uh, be."
> "Anyway, I do want to tell you exactly what Myon was doing down there, and I want to find something nice I can do for you, since you were nice to me when you didn't have to be."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "I wouldn't say 'just'! A mermaid is a cool being to, uh, be."
> "Anyway, I do want to tell you exactly what Myon was doing down there, and I want to find something nice I can do for you, since you were nice to me when you didn't have to be."

> "Okay. I mean, it's not that hard to be nice anyways, right?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Well, no, but I wanted to be nice to you anyway, I was just trying to make it sound cool, or something. Guess it didn't work, haha."
> "So the long and short of it is that, while I've known my whole life that Myon can pass through things and carry things and stuff like that, it occurred to me today that she's never really interacted with water for an extended period of time. I wanted to see how she would, and if she could carry some within herself, and maybe even take more into herself than it looks like she would normally be able to. That last one hasn't come to fruition yet, but I'd say this experience has been a rousing success otherwise."

> "Mm. I guess those line up pretty well with someone like me, huh. Alright."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "They do, as much as I didn't know you were here until we met. But now that we've met, I'd like I'd to get to know more about each other, if that's okay with you. In fact, it tied in neatly with an idea I had. Please forgive my presumptuous, but can I assume you're largely water-locked?"

[Neovereign]

> "I've managed a bit against that actually." Wakasagihime perks up a bit. "But yeah, for the most part."

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I see! Well, hopefully this idea still has some appeal. Basically, I was thinking that we could travel around together on land for a while, seeing sights you may not have seen before, and chatting and learning more about each other. And maybe training some more with both of our abilities."
> Gesture up and down at Myon.
> "With Myon able to hold you and some lake water for you, you'll have no trouble getting around."

> "That should be able to help with my thing anyways, actually. I'm up for it, then." Waka agrees.
