Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> "I see...a shame, but understandable. Do you wish me to take you back now, then?"

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> "I see...a shame, but understandable. Do you wish me to take you back now, then?"

> "Ah. Hmm... yeah. I can maybe try working on that idea more back at the lake." Waka says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Nod.
> "Very well. I shall be back momentarily, Reimu, Master Genji."
> Change back into Myon form, take flight, and head back toward the lake.
> Once we have left the shrine grounds: "Please forgive my selfishness, Lady Wakasagi, but for the sake of my self-discovery, would you be at all willing to drop your resistance to the possession you mentioned earlier? If you do not feel comfortable doing so, that is fine."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> You head back for the lake...
> "Uh, alright..." She agrees. "Just don't get mad and maybe don't beat me up if I end up attacking you or something by mistake."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Smile.
> "Don't worry, I trust that you won't do that. If you wish to be safe, though, you can always resume your resistance if you feel such urges coming on."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Smile.
> "Don't worry, I trust that you won't do that. If you wish to be safe, though, you can always resume your resistance if you feel such urges coming on."

> The mermaid nods. You don't feel anything weird yet, though...

> "So why is she calling you master now? How much yapping did you do to her?" Reimu questions Genji, arms crossed.
> "Only a bit young miss. There wasn't much wisdom I could impart I'm afraid."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "He is Master's friend. It would be uncouth for me to not show proper deference accordingly."

Myon:

> "Anyway, I apologize that our adventure together was cut short. I hope we can resume it some day. I still wish to take you to meet your friend in the Bamboo Forest, for one."
> We should have a feel for Waka's presence and existence at this point, right? Given we've had her inside us for quite some time now. Try pulling her existence into our own, using our familiarity with and proximity to it.

> "Huh? Like, Yuyuko's?" Reimu asks.

> "Sure. It'd be nice to do this again." The mermaid responds.
> You try a few ways to pull the mermaid's existence into your own as you head towards the lake, or maybe make it a part of yours, but none of them seem to be doing anything. It doesn't even look like you're taking her over or anything either.
> The lake is in view, and there just seem to be the usual fairies playing around from what you can see.

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Shake our head.
> "Master Konpaku."

Myon:

> "Looks like we'll be arriving shortly. How do you feel, Lady Wakasagi?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Shake our head.
> "Master Konpaku."

Myon:

> "Looks like we'll be arriving shortly. How do you feel, Lady Wakasagi?"

> "You've got a master with the same name huh? So, did they teach you anything?"
> "Yours sure didn't, young miss." Genji comments.
> "Tch. IF she's still around, she's probably sitting about somewhere, enjoying retirement and fattening up." Reimu scoffs.
> "Could be likely. But wouldn't you still lose to her even now?"
> "A-Ahem, you don't need to call gramps master. He's just an old man, even if he knows one or two previous big shots."

> "Still fine, I guess."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Look mildly uncertain.
> "...I dunno..."
> Blink.
> "Wait, you had a master too, Reimu?"

Myon:

> Nod.
> "That's good. I will be interested to see if these changes are temporary or permanent."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Blink.
> "Wait, you had a master too, Reimu?"

Myon:

> Nod.
> "That's good. I will be interested to see if these changes are temporary or permanent."

> "Hardly. I was stuck with gramps here a lot of the time. I don't recall her teaching me how to fly, let alone even walk on my own two legs."
> "Well, she was quite busy since these new spell card rules weren't here before." Genji explains.

> "Mhm." The mermaid agrees as you reach the surface.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Wow. I never knew..."

Myon:

> "Oh, can we try your ability one last time once we're submerged? I wonder if things will be different."
> Descend fully into the water.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Wow. I never knew..."

Myon:

> "Oh, can we try your ability one last time once we're submerged? I wonder if things will be different."
> Descend fully into the water.

> "Given you'd still be unable to beat her, why don't you try training a bit seriously, miss Reimu?" Genji suggests.
> "It's not like she's gonna show up out of nowhere."
> "But if she does and you give her that reason?"
> Reimu audibly gulps.
> "Perhaps both of you could train together for such an occurrence."

> You descend into the water.
> "Me trying, or you?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "An opportunity to train under a Hakurei elder...! I would be foolish to pass up such an opportunity if I did not have to."

Myon:

> Point within ourselves at Waka.
> Then pull our arm out of ourselves, and try 'solidifying' our 'skin' so that nothing can pass through it, in our out.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "An opportunity to train under a Hakurei elder...! I would be foolish to pass up such an opportunity if I did not have to."

Myon:

> Point within ourselves at Waka.
> Then pull our arm out of ourselves, and try 'solidifying' our 'skin' so that nothing can pass through it, in our out.

> "I'm not an elder. And I don't think a swordsman would help too much in my areas."
> "Then how about that other shrine maiden. Miss Kochiya, I believe?"
> "You want me to train with her?"
> "Why not?"

> You try to keep your body from being pushed through, as Wakasagihime expands again.
> Still, the same thing ends up happening in the failed attempt, and the mermaid apologizes as she goes back to normal.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Oh, I meant this other mysterious Hakurei. Er, not that I think you wouldn't be a good trainer, Reimu! It would just feel kinda weird, y'know?"

Myon:

> Smile and wave a hand dismissively.
> However, continue trying to keep ourselves solid enough to keep Waka within us, to see what happens if/when she tries to leave.

> "She's an incredible person. So too was Youki, but in taking their duties seriously, it's clear lady Hakurei had more complicated matters to resolve." Genji explains.

> You wave.
> Waksagihime doesn't try to leave yet though. She almost seems to be waiting on you, just as you are waiting on her.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Nod.
> "I can imagine. The role has a lot of responsibility. I consider myself very lucky and privileged to consider myself anything close to Reimu's peer."

Myon:

> Adopt a thinking expression.
> Try vibrating our 'innards' in the vicinity of Waka's shoulders, in an attempt to give her a massage.

Myon:

> "And yet, she wasn't even taught most of what she knows now." Genji claims. "I believe miss Marisa is the one who had a mentor who actually did teach them."

> You try, but find that you can't move your phantom half in a satisfying way for such...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> How does Reimu seem to be taking our praise?
> "That makes sense. But, with no disrespect to Marisa, her role in Gensokyo doesn't have the same responsibility attached. That Reimu is so capable to keep Gensokyo safe, and still so magnanimous as to treat one such as myself with the kindness of a friend, speaks volumes."

Myon:

> Try the growth ability thing ourselves again, then.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> She seems more annoyed at something.
> "You see I can't even enjoy the sort of freedom she does. Nor do I get much respect for such a job either. I for one feel like this is one of the worst spots."
> "You still have the time to find the happiness to smile and enjoy some days among friends even so, young miss. I've seen it. It's not all business day in and day out like your predecessor."
> "If you guys are trying to make me blush, quit it. I'll go find Sanae already and asks if she feels like training or something. I can ask about the ribbon and similar things while I'm there."
> "Ribbon? Miss Rumia's?"
> Reimu doesn't answer, starting for the air already.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "Ah, no! I'm sorry!"
> Take flight and pursue.

Myon:

> Try the growth ability thing ourselves again, then.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "Ah, no! I'm sorry!"
> Take flight and pursue.

Myon:

> Try the growth ability thing ourselves again, then.

> You start for the air as well, but Reimu stops.
> "Huh? Oh right, you wanted to train, too." Reimu thinks. "I doubt Sanae would be against both of us coming out of nowhere."

> You try Waka's technique again.
> Like usual, it doesn't seem like- no wait, you think you did it?
> It's not a lot like Wakasagihime's, but it's definitely a noticeable chest expansion.
> "Oh hey, you did it!" The mermaid comments.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> "I mean, that's a complicated thing to answer, but right now, investigating whoever tied that ribbon on that cat seems more important. Will visiting Sanae help with that?"

Myon:

> Go wide-eyed.
> Try speaking: "Whoa..."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> "I mean, that's a complicated thing to answer, but right now, investigating whoever tied that ribbon on that cat seems more important. Will visiting Sanae help with that?"

Myon:

> Go wide-eyed.
> Try speaking: "Whoa..."

> "It's another pair of eyes from the mountain. Aya was a victim so she didn't get to see much, but maybe Sanae, or the other Tengu, have something to say. Oh, right, I should probably put that little box up if you're not taking it with you." Reimu heads back into the shrine.

> You do seem to be able to speak fine underwater...
> "It's not as big, but that just goes to show that I'm still special." Waka reasons.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> ...
> ...Try changing our shape like Myon can.

Myon:

> "You'd still be special even if I could do this as well as you can, Lady Wakasagi."

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> ...
> ...Try changing our shape like Myon can.

Myon:

> "You'd still be special even if I could do this as well as you can, Lady Wakasagi."

> You're not sure how you're supposed to. Myon can pass through things, you can't. Myon can let things pass through it, you can't. It's a shapeless sort of ghost vs a distinct figure with distinct functions for every bit... if you changed your arm, where would the bones go? The muscles? Everything that can only move one way or another... it's like asking someone to fly... Okay, well, flying doesn't require much from your external body like waving your arms or such.

> "Yeah yeah. I'll still keep this as a pride."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> ...Try the inhale growth thing Waka can do, then.

Myon:

> "Of course. Is there anything else I can do for you before we part?"

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> ...Try the inhale growth thing Waka can do, then.

Myon:

> "Of course. Is there anything else I can do for you before we part?"

> You try, but you just look a little weird. It also feels wrong, like you're missing something. Ah right, water.
> Wait, that won't really make it work, will it?
> Reimu returns.
> "Ready to go then?"

> "I don't think so. You learned the thing already, so..."
