Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Does our voice sound similar to Waka's maybe? Or does it sound similar for Youmu's?
> Look confused and a bit surprised.
> "...I...kind of...?"

Youmu:

> "That, or your metaphysical knowledge. You're a well-traveled mystic, I'm a stay-at-home swordswoman. You must certainly have greater knowledge on this sort of thing than I."

> Look confused and a bit surprised.
> "...I...kind of...?"

Youmu:

> "That, or your metaphysical knowledge. You're a well-traveled mystic, I'm a stay-at-home swordswoman. You must certainly have greater knowledge on this sort of thing than I."

> You don't think it's close enough to that. It's not like there's a scale you could apply with your voice and her voice at two ends. It doesn't sound like it'd fit on such a thing.
> "You could've said something back in the lake, then." The mermaid speaks.

> "I only travel when someone either doesn't think about how they'll cause issues for everyone else, or does and decides they don't care."

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "That's still more than me. Anyway, what do you say?"

Myon:

> "I couldn't...not until now."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "That's still more than me. Anyway, what do you say?"

Myon:

> "I couldn't...not until now."

> "Something tells me it wouldn't do you any good..." Reimu comments.

> "Did you just learn how to now, then?" The mermaid questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "What makes you say that? ...Intuition?"

Myon:

> "I think so...maybe it's because of what I took from you?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "What makes you say that? ...Intuition?"

Myon:

> "I think so...maybe it's because of what I took from you?"

> Reimu shrugs.
> "I guess we can still try if you feel like it's worth it instead. I'm not busy so it can't be that bad to do for a bit."

> The mermaid shrugs, clearly having no experience in this field, nor expectations...

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I would be honored, frankly. So if you're fine with it, then we certainly can. Well, I suppose Lady Wakasagi would need to be fine with it too, but that doesn't seem like it'd be a problem. We're still chatting out at the pond, by the way, if you wish to join us."

Myon:

> "Yeah...I cannot say for sure. I normally cannot speak on my own. ...Today has been bizarre."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "I would be honored, frankly. So if you're fine with it, then we certainly can. Well, I suppose Lady Wakasagi would need to be fine with it too, but that doesn't seem like it'd be a problem. We're still chatting out at the pond, by the way, if you wish to join us."

Myon:

> "Yeah...I cannot say for sure. I normally cannot speak on my own. ...Today has been bizarre."

> "...At the same time? I don't think I can fit, too."

> "What else can you do?" Genji questions
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I think you could. Myon is roomier than one might think."

Myon:

> Ribbon aside, do we actually know how to possess someone?
> "Um...the usual phantom things? Oh, and I can look like Youmu, like I'm doing now, instead of a blob."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "I think you could. Myon is roomier than one might think."

Myon:

> Ribbon aside, do we actually know how to possess someone?
> "Um...the usual phantom things? Oh, and I can look like Youmu, like I'm doing now, instead of a blob."

> "Unless it can get bigger, I doubt so. And I don't want to just be squished into something."

> You haven't tried it before, so you don't actually know...
> "Even though you're a half-human, half-phantom?" Genji questions, as if you gave the wrong answer.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Well, I can try that."

Myon:

> Adopt a thinking expression.
> Then try expanding ourselves outward, while still maintaining our Youmu appearance.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Well, I can try that."

Myon:

> Adopt a thinking expression.
> Then try expanding ourselves outward, while still maintaining our Youmu appearance.

> You try to expand your phantom half outward, still keeping your human hall's appearance.
> Still no dice...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What else are we aware that Myon can do?

[Neovereign]

> What else are we aware that Myon can do?

> You can walk through walls, dissappear, and fly. Well, maybe not dissappear, but you're fast enough that you can almost look like such. You don't know if you can apply that to Myon. you know that you can copy most of your human half's movements and actions almost perfectly, as well as make Myon look similar to your human half. Of course, you've managed to become capable of moving Myon like a second human half body, not simply copying movements. You can fire danmaku from your phantom half. You think that's about it? You're not sure being warmer and larger than normal phantoms counts as something Myon can "do", rather than has always been.
> You briefly wonder if you can do the opposite and move around or take shape of your phantom half with your human half, but that shouldn't be possible... maybe for a youkai, who are more specific existences, but humans are more physical...

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Frown a bit.
> "Drat. Not just yet, apparently."

Myon:

> Look slightly nervous.
> "Yes...?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Frown a bit.
> "Drat. Not just yet, apparently."

Myon:

> Look slightly nervous.
> "Yes...?"

> "Hm. What do you mean not yet?" Reimu starts for the back.

> "Being capable of what a phantom could do shouldn’t be treated as obvious. Neither you nor your half phantom are just a human or phantom. Both of you're identities are hybrids." Genji almost scolds. "The human body shouldn't be a half, and the phantom... body, shouldn't be a half either. They're like two wholes."
> "How can you be two wholes? A mermaid is like a half human half fish." Wakasagihime claims.
> "But yet, you only have one body, right?"
> The mermaid looks herself over.
> "But isn't that the same then? The one body is the girl, and the not body is the phantom."
> "Does that mean the girl can't become a phantom or such?"
> The mermaid looks really confused.
> "I mean... she's already a. Uh, if she dies, she'll... the body would stop, and-"
> "And if you gave life to the phantom?"
> "Um... it'd get a body? Yeah, if you give it a body, it'd be alive."
> "Then how many Youmus would you have if you did that?"
> The mermaid is legitimately steaming from the head a bit. The water feels warmer, though not bubbling at least.
> "T-Two? But, that's one? T-The human body and-but the ghost also has a body then... would both be Youmu? Would both get phantoms? Tha. Whah. Two souls? Uh, two people? Not... haaah?"

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Myon tried to expand outward, to grow larger. It didn't work."

Myon:

> "Oh, um...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trivialize myself..."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Myon tried to expand outward, to grow larger. It didn't work."

Myon:

> "Oh, um...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trivialize myself..."

> "You- well, Myon, looked like you before. Isn't that changing shape and expanding?" Reimu stops,, then glances down. "Well, maybe that's contracting..." She murmurs.

> "I don't mean to come off that way, but maybe you should try changing how you think of yourself. I doubt I could teach you how to properly be a half human half phantom. I'm just an old turtle, after all."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Whoops! Follow along behind Reimu.
> "Oh, I can do that, certainly. But I guess there are limitations still."

Myon:

> Nod.
> "I understand, and thank you. Though, I have been curious - how did you know my family name?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Whoops! Follow along behind Reimu.
> "Oh, I can do that, certainly. But I guess there are limitations still."

Myon:

> Nod.
> "I understand, and thank you. Though, I have been curious - how did you know my family name?"

> "So you couldn't do me, for example?" Reimu questions.

> "I've been friends with another half-human half-phantom who went by Youki Konpaku."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "You mean, changing to look like you?"

Myon:

> "Oh, you're met Master. That makes sense."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "You mean, changing to look like you?"

Myon:

> "Oh, you're met Master. That makes sense."

> Reimu nods, peeking around to check on your phantom half and Genji.

> "What doesn't make sense is your current skills, then..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I haven't tried, admittedly. Though that gives me an idea..."

Myon:

> "Well, I'm still definitely in training..."
> Try changing our shape to look like Waka. Maybe we can do this now that we've apparently absorbed some of her, or something?

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "I haven't tried, admittedly. Though that gives me an idea..."

Myon:

> "Well, I'm still definitely in training..."
> Try changing our shape to look like Waka. Maybe we can do this now that we've apparently absorbed some of her, or something?

> You try... You notice your legs feeling a bit stiff as you start to lean. Thankfully, you begin floating before you fall over. Though, it does look like you've succeeded, as far as you can tell yourself. You seem to have the mermaid's tail, at least.
> You're not sure, but given the water doesn't look like it fills you as much, maybe you're bigger than in Youmu's form?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Ah...that suggests Myon could turn into you, if you allowed it. And look, there's more space now."

Myon:

> "Whoa. I guess I can do that now, too..."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Ah...that suggests Myon could turn into you, if you allowed it. And look, there's more space now."

Myon:

> "Whoa. I guess I can do that now, too..."

> "Huh." Reimu notes.

> "How strange..." Genji comments.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Go ahead and get a closer look if you like."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Go ahead and get a closer look if you like."

> "I can see well from here. My vision's not bad." Reimu says.
> "Oh hey, Reimu." Wakasagihime waves from within your phantom half. "Your turtle friend said a lot of confusing stuff, and then Youmu's phantom turned into me. Is he magic?"
> "I'm not that impressive young miss." Genji comments.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> "I changed like this of my own accord, though Master Genji's words certainly were inspiration to try."
> Smile at Reimu and beckon to her to approach.
> "By the way, would you be interested in a roommate, Lady Wakasagi? Youmu and Reimu have been discussing the possibility."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> "I changed like this of my own accord, though Master Genji's words certainly were inspiration to try."
> Smile at Reimu and beckon to her to approach.
> "By the way, would you be interested in a roommate, Lady Wakasagi? Youmu and Reimu have been discussing the possibility."

> "A roommate? Uh, I'd rather not. I can go back to the lake if I need to."
> "Don't tell me I'm scaring you." Reimu says.
> "Well, it's less that and more I like having space to myself. Wouldn't you think my friends would try to bring me around places in something with water already?"
> "I guess. Why are you here like this, then?"
> "It was nice making another friend. Two, in fact."
> "Are you unable to get around without water?" Genji questions.
> "Haha... yeah, I can't fly..." Wakasagihime answers with an awkward laugh. "But I've been thinking of something to resolve that myself."
