Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 7

[Neovereign]

> "Thanks for the assist."

> "I suppose we're taking the same way you got here?" Miko questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That makes the most sense, yeah. This way, please."
> Head back to the cart.

[Neovereign]

> "That makes the most sense, yeah. This way, please."
> Head back to the cart.

> You return to Seki with Miko and Futo in tow.
> "Two?" Seki questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yep. Lady Toyosatomimi believes a subordinate of hers is well-equipped to handle the situation."

[Neovereign]

> "Yep. Lady Toyosatomimi believes a subordinate of hers is well-equipped to handle the situation."

> "I'm just here to oversee her, I suppose." Miko says. "May we board?"
> Sekibanki nods, to which Miko and Futo hop into the back.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Hop on board as well.

[Neovereign]

> Hop on board as well.

> You embark, and Seki takes you back to Wakasagihime.
> The mermaid is still massive, though it doesn't look like the water level raised at least.
> "Whoa. This does look like a bit of a flood happened..." Miko observes.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah. It's not going well for the residents."
> Hop back out of the cart onto the mermaid's chest.

[Neovereign]

> "Yeah. It's not going well for the residents."
> Hop back out of the cart onto the mermaid's chest.

> You disembark with the rest.
> "So, is it something you can handle, Futo?" Miko asks.
> "Mm. I shall be begin post haste." Futo declares, beginning to... throw plates around?
> You do notice that there appears to be some wind holding the plates up, remaining undisturbed even as she produces more.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Interesting! We probably shouldn't distract her, though. We can ask about it later.
> Send a wind message to Waka: "You probably noticed, but we're back."
> Look around for Kagerou.

[Neovereign]

> Interesting! We probably shouldn't distract her, though. We can ask about it later.
> Send a wind message to Waka: "You probably noticed, but we're back."
> Look around for Kagerou.

> Waka gives a small wave, thankfully not making much waves with it.
> You don't see her or Saki around nearby...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wave back to Waka.
> "Just you right now, Dekasugihime?"

[Neovereign]

> Wave back to Waka.
> "Just you right now, Dekasugihime?"

> "Well, those other two went to look for people." The mermaid says.
> There's quite a lot of plates around. You're surprised she's maintaining all the wind for each one.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Right. Guess we were pretty fast, and they probably haven't had much of a chance to search."
> Look down at where we're standing, then back up at Waka.
> Wind whisper: "Okay, I'm just gonna ask. What's up with the whole being topless thing?"

[Neovereign]

> "Right. Guess we were pretty fast, and they probably haven't had much of a chance to search."
> Look down at where we're standing, then back up at Waka.
> Wind whisper: "Okay, I'm just gonna ask. What's up with the whole being topless thing?"

> "This didn't go exactly as expected. I haven't... felt as bothered about it as I would back in the lake. Not sure if that's because I'm way bigger, stronger, or something else... It's still a bit embarrassing, don't get me wrong!"
> "Ready Crown Prince." Futo speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wind whisper to Waka: "Hey, I at least greatly appreciate your grandeur. It'd be nice to get more intimately familiar with it~"
> Watch whatever Futo is about to do.

[Neovereign]

> Wind whisper to Waka: "Hey, I at least greatly appreciate your grandeur. It'd be nice to get more intimately familiar with it~"
> Watch whatever Futo is about to do.

> "Are we ready?" Miko questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How did Waka react to that?
> "Probably, unless you have something to warn us about first."

[Neovereign]

> How did Waka react to that?
> "Probably, unless you have something to warn us about first."

> You can't see her expression well from down here. Better to fly up.
> "Well, we are dealing with the flood, so... This mermaid should probably be aware of this."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give them a thumbs-up.
> Flyv up to get closer to Waka's face to see her expression.

[Neovereign]

> Give them a thumbs-up.
> Flyv up to get closer to Waka's face to see her expression.

> "Alright Futo. Go for it." Miko says.
> You fly up towards the mermaid's face. She seems a bit worried.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "They're about to do whatever they're gonna do, so be ready."
> Look curious.
> "You okay?"

[Neovereign]

> "They're about to do whatever they're gonna do, so be ready."
> Look curious.
> "You okay?"

> "Yeah. I'm just hoping there's not a lot of uh, corpses leftover when the water gets dealt with..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Sorry."

[Neovereign]

> "...Sorry."

> "We're youkai, so it's expected that we might end up taking lives... And from what we saw of this world already, it's been worse than this anyways... Right?"
> You notice the water seems to be quickly draining.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oop, watch the draining, Dekasugihime. We can talk about that afterward."

[Neovereign]

> "Oop, watch the draining, Dekasugihime. We can talk about that afterward."

> "I am." Waka acknolwedges.
> The water seems to be guided to each plate. But in the end it looks like it's just heading back into the area around Waka. Despite such, the water level is still dropping...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Hey, since you're large enough that this could happen, what would happen if someone was inside your body when you returned to normal size?"

[Neovereign]

> "...Hey, since you're large enough that this could happen, what would happen if someone was inside your body when you returned to normal size?"

> "They'd probably be crushed." Waka shrugs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Damn. Hopefully no one got in unnoticed, then."
