Myon Quest - Scattered Souls

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Hastily return to normal.
> "Of course."

Myon:

> Smile.
> "Alright then. It was a pleasure, Lady Wakasagi. Until next time."
> Gesture out toward the rest of the open water.

Youmu:

> Hastily return to normal.
> "Of course."

Myon:

> Smile.
> "Alright then. It was a pleasure, Lady Wakasagi. Until next time."
> Gesture out toward the rest of the open water.

> You stop your attempts, and Reimu continues for the sky.

> With your gesture, the mermaid departs, waving off in goodbye.

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Were we able to slow her down at all?
> How much water do we have inside us compared to when we first left the lake? Is it the same amount, or less?

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Were we able to slow her down at all?
> How much water do we have inside us compared to when we first left the lake? Is it the same amount, or less?

> It seemed like you were not.
> You believe it's less. Not by a lot, though.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Youmu:

> Follow!

Myon:

> Are we still larger via our use of Waka's ability?
> Resume taking water in, with the goal of reaching half capacity.

[Neovereign]

Youmu:

> Follow!

Myon:

> Are we still larger via our use of Waka's ability?
> Resume taking water in, with the goal of reaching half capacity.

> You follow Reimu into the air.

> Yes.
> You resume packing your still mermaid shaped "body", until it's once more filled halfway.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Change our shape back to regular Youmu.
> Then try the inhale-to-expand-assets trick again, to see if containing more water helps us go further.

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Change our shape back to regular Youmu.
> Then try the inhale-to-expand-assets trick again, to see if containing more water helps us go further.

> You return to Youmu's form.
> You try, but you fail to get any bigger...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Did we at least get the same amount of increase as before?

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Did we at least get the same amount of increase as before?

> Unfortunately, you seem to still be at the same Youmu size as you always managed. Maybe changing to such shape was a bad idea...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Try changing back to the Waka shape.
> If that works, try the inhale-growth thing again.

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Try changing back to the Waka shape.
> If that works, try the inhale-growth thing again.

> You try, and to your surprise, you manage such.
> You make an attempt at expanding like earlier, and it works just as well...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> So we only seem to be able to use the inhale expansion in Waka form?
> And taking more water in did not affect the degree to which we could do it?

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> So we only seem to be able to use the inhale expansion in Waka form?
> And taking more water in did not affect the degree to which we could do it?

> Such seems to be your understanding.

> You and Reimu touch down at the Moriya Shrine.
> Sanae isn't out and about though, thus, Reimu seems to waste no time simply barging into the shrine.
> You see something yellow quickly scamper out and away from the shrine as Reimu opens it to head inside, barely giving her or yourself a good look. Nonetheless, Reimu process undeterred.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> Well, drat.
> Return to our normal Youmu shape and let go of the water we're carrying.

Youmu:

> "Uh..."
> Glance at where the yellow thing went, then hurry after Reimu.

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> Well, drat.
> Return to our normal Youmu shape and let go of the water we're carrying.

Youmu:

> "Uh..."
> Glance at where the yellow thing went, then hurry after Reimu.

> You release the water and return to Youmu's form.

> Did it go under the shrine? Maybe.
> You head in following Reimu, hoping you aren't bring rude.
> Reimu navigates through the larger, nicer shrine, finally stopping as she knocked at the wall next to a door.
> "Sanae? Are you still asleep?" She questions.
> The door opens as a tired face greets you and Reimu, half dressed...
> "Hello?" The blanket hooded woman almost questions.
> "W-Who?" Reimu questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Myon:

> "Rats."
> Resurface and fly back to where Youmu is.

Youmu:

> "Oh! Um, sorry..."

[Neovereign]

Myon:

> "Rats."
> Resurface and fly back to where Youmu is.

Youmu:

> "Oh! Um, sorry..."

> You start back for your human half.

> "What is it?" The woman questions, rubbing her eyes. "Oh, Reimu? Ah, is there an incident?""
> "Kogasa?" Reimu raises an eyebrow.
> "Don't worry, I'll get Sanae up now."
> The umbrella reveals itself in hand as its wielder turns to head for the lump in a blanket, noticeably surrounded by a bunch of books.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "... Should we not be interrupting you two, or...?"

[Neovereign]

> "... Should we not be interrupting you two, or...?"

> "We got too cuahg tup having fun last night." Kogasa explains. "Sanae made a game out of some of her old things, like doodles and math questions. I thought it'd be boring at first, but it got out of hand and we couldn't stop."
> The umbrella girl starts to shove the lump gently, revealing Samae underneath it. Though her own blanket seems to imply there's nothing else there.
> "Then why are you... er, we'll just wait out here..." Reimu glances away and closes the door.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Are we still in the room, or outside it?

[Neovereign]

> ...Are we still in the room, or outside it?

> You never entered. Kogasa opened the door for Reimu's knocking, and neither of you went in yet.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oops..."

[Neovereign]

> "Oops..."

> "A-Ahem... so...uh..." Reimu scratches her head.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Erm...oh, uh, Myon's on her way here, in case you were wondering about that."

[Neovereign]

> "...Erm...oh, uh, Myon's on her way here, in case you were wondering about that."

> "Oh. I was more wondering if we shouldve just waited... well, she opened the door on her own..."
> "Uh, I'll be a minute, Reimu." You hear Sanae through the door."
> "We gotta change clothes. We ended up getting each other too wet last night and-"
> "It's fine It's fine, I don't need to hear it."
> "It was danmaku! She's saying weird things." Sanae corrects Kogasa.
> "In a room...?"
> "No, before, and we had to- ugh, I'll explain in a bit." Sanae responds
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Maybe they wanted us to join them...?"

[Neovereign]

> "...Maybe they wanted us to join them...?"

> "N-No way. Sanae said she'll explain."
> Sanae opens the door fully a bit later, looking proper, but a bit tired.
> "So, what did you need me for?"
> "Uh... right. Something happened at the village with a ribbon that caused Orin to use her ability wildly it of control. Have you seen anything weird lately, not necessarily similar to that?" Reimu tries to get back on track.
> "Hm... not really? Then again, I've only been around my shrine lately."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Now that we've properly seen both, could we fit Sanae and Kogasa inside Myon at the same time, like we were considering with Reimu and Waka?
> "Hmm, so whoever is responsible hasn't been around here, at least..."

[Neovereign]

> Now that we've properly seen both, could we fit Sanae and Kogasa inside Myon at the same time, like we were considering with Reimu and Waka?
> "Hmm, so whoever is responsible hasn't been around here, at least..."

> You don't believe so, especially with Kogasa's umbrella open... you haven't gotten to see all of Kogasa yet either, just a bit.
> "Right..." Reimu says.
> "Maybe Kogasa has? Ah, right. So in explanation, Kogasa and I were having a danmaku battle." Sanae starts. "She was using a lot of her rain danmaku and I did so in turn, too. That's how we ended up wet as she said. And I didn't have a change for her so she was just using a swimsuit, since it'd be less uncomfortable while still drenched, at least until we dried off. But then she was still trying to do her usual antics, so I brought up some things to distract her, but I got distracted too. So uh, then it was night time and..."
> Sanae looks at the two of you, as Kogasa returns, also proper now, and leaning on her shoulder.
> "Can I help any?" She yawns a bit. "I feel great after being filled well~"
> Reimu blinks.
> "Ah, she uh. She must've surprised you, then. Sorry." Sanae apologizes?

> Your phantom half arrives at the mountain, but you feel like you're being watched.
