Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 7

[Neovereign]

> "I'd like to, but I do need to get back to the Animal Realm first. We left another subordinate of mine there. And if you've been with Waka recently, I do think it'd worth your time visiting to see the current her."

> "You really like leading people to others on your suggestions, huh?" Saki questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It's harder to get the answers you're looking for when you're not persistent in your questioning."

[Neovereign]

> "It's harder to get the answers you're looking for when you're not persistent in your questioning."

> "Maybe another time I'll ask her how she's been." Youmu responds. "The animal realm wasn't that friendly a place."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "Very well. Try not to wander too far off from Reimu's before I have the chance to meet back up, okay?"

[Neovereign]

> Shrug.
> "Very well. Try not to wander too far off from Reimu's before I have the chance to meet back up, okay?"

> "I'll try."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give Youmu a thumbs-up, then look to Boss.
> "Shall we retrieve Ami, then?"

[Neovereign]

> Give Youmu a thumbs-up, then look to Boss.
> "Shall we retrieve Ami, then?"

> "Sure." Megumu says unenthusiastically.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod, then look to Miko and Saki.
> "Who's coming with?"

[Neovereign]

> Nod, then look to Miko and Saki.
> "Who's coming with?"

> "Already planned on going back to the Animal Realm. Probably visit that Seija person some other time."
> "I guess I can see you off, at least, given it doesn't seem like you have an easy way there." Miko says
> "Ah, maybe I can too, then. If it's just a couple minutes." Youmu agrees. "I gotta have a quick chat with Mikuru though."
> You wonder if you'd be capable of any teleportation or easier ways to get to places without a direct physical path now...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Eh, worth a shot! Try imagining where we were on Waka's chest previous, try imagining us being there, and then will ourselves to be there.

[Neovereign]

> ...Eh, worth a shot! Try imagining where we were on Waka's chest previous, try imagining us being there, and then will ourselves to be there.

> You imagine yourself where you want to be...
> ...
> Nothing seems to happen, though.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> We'll figure that out later, then.
> Offer hands to Suzaku and Boss.
> "Then let's head out."

[Neovereign]

> We'll figure that out later, then.
> Offer hands to Suzaku and Boss.
> "Then let's head out."

> You ready to leave.
> "Should I take you back to there?" Miko questions, offering a hand.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure. Suzaku, take Lady Toyosatomimi's hand, please."

[Neovereign]

> "Sure. Suzaku, take Lady Toyosatomimi's hand, please."

> Suzaku nods, though takes Saki's hand.
> "Wrong person." Saki speaks.
> "I don't want to be left behind again. This'll work anyways, right?"
> You notice something weird on Suzaku's back.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Wait. Suzaku, don't move."
> Lean obey and check out the weird thing.

[Neovereign]

> "Wait. Suzaku, don't move."
> Lean obey and check out the weird thing.

> You examine.
> It's a bow with weird coloring to it.
> "Oh, that's the ribbon Seija made." Youmu points out. "Maybe it fell off and got attached to her when I fused with myon."
> "When you what?" Megumu questions.
> "But shouldn't it have gone to Gwen, then?"
> Gwen crosses her arms in an x, pointing at Youmu's sword sheathe.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown a bit.
> "What does it do?"

[Neovereign]

> Frown a bit.
> "What does it do?"

> "It makes your abilities much harder to control, but let's let's grow more if you can get past that, or something. I don't recall her full explanation. Ah, it also gets stuck on whoever tries to take it off."
> "I don't feel out of control or anything." Suzaku speaks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Is that something you want, Suzaku?"

[Neovereign]

> "Is that something you want, Suzaku?"

> "I don't need it." Suzaku shrugs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Alright."
> Remove the ribbon from Suzaku.
> Then offer it to Iizunamaru.

[Neovereign]

> "Alright."
> Remove the ribbon from Suzaku.
> Then offer it to Iizunamaru.

> You remove the ribbon, it suddenly wrapping around your finger.
> You offer it to Megumu, who just slowly glares up at you, as if to ask you "Are you serious?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look a bit awkward like we weren't expecting that response.
> "...I mean...this is the responsible thing to do, right?"

[Neovereign]

> Look a bit awkward like we weren't expecting that response.
> "...I mean...this is the responsible thing to do, right?"

> She looks like she's about to say something.
> ...
> She's... taking a really long time to actually speak.
> Now that you take a look, she's really slow...
> Everyone seems to be, actually. Youmu looks like she's about to explain something more, maybe, but you don't hear anything from her yet.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Oh. Powers going out of control. We're not just fast anymore...our perspective for normal existing speed is skewed. If there were such a thing as too fast, that's what we'd be.
> Well, this is a pickle of a problem. Faster is better, but not being able to reasonably interact with anyone is a problem. Hmm.
> Try pulling out our pen and notebook, and slowly writing "I think I'm too fast to perceive you normally."
> If we're able to write this, show it to Iizunamaru, and wait a bit for a reply.

> You...
> ...
> You don't have any on you. These aren't your old clothes, and there's nothing in your chest compartment either...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Pat ourselves down everywhere in a panic.
> If we can't find any of our normal equipment, sigh and wait for Youmu and Iizunamaru to sayv what they're going to say. Hopefully we can understand them.

> Nothing's on you. Not even your camera. This is madness.
> You wait...
> ...
> It sounds like there might be some droning noise? That or your mind's filling in for it...
> Are they getting slower?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Ah, strawberries.
> Hmm. Close our eyes, and take deep breathe to calm and center ourselves.
