Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 7

[Neovereign]

> Begin flying toward the displacement, then.
> "No, they've never done anything like this."

> You start for the occurrence, son spotting Saki in the air as well.
> Waka heads back underwater, causing a wave to go a bit higher than the rest. At least it isn't a full on dive.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wave at Saki while approaching.

[Neovereign]

> Wave at Saki while approaching.

> You wave, with Saki noticing you a bit into it and heading over.
> "What's with the catastrofish?" Saki questions, pointing over at the waves origin as she rises up a bit in flight.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Remember the redhead that was with me before? Her friends wanted revenge on Yachie, so they came back. Beyond that? Your guess is as good as mine."
> Beckon Saki over and pat our chest where she can sit.

[Neovereign]

> "Remember the redhead that was with me before? Her friends wanted revenge on Yachie, so they came back. Beyond that? Your guess is as good as mine."
> Beckon Saki over and pat our chest where she can sit.

> "She had friends like this? Geez."
> You gesture for Saki to have a seat.
> "Appreciate the gesture, but this isn't the time to take a break yet." Saki waves, heading for where Waka left.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Follow!

[Neovereign]

> Follow!

> You follow along.
> "Oh, Aya? Oh crap, that's right. You were here with us." One of the wolf spirits... greets you? "Have you seen that turtle coward?"
> "No. Don't know about Aya, but I'm starting with settling that mermaid down first." Saki answers.
> "So you're gonna get in our way..." The spirit bares it's fangs, to Saki's surprise.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Kagerou? Is that you?"

[Neovereign]

> "Kagerou? Is that you?"

> "Yes. Is this another of the bullies that-"
> You notice the spirit ceases baring it's fangs, shuddering a bit instead.
> "Who's getting in who's way again? You recognize your boss, don't you?" Saki questions, putting a hand on the spirit, and seemingly pushing it down towards the water.
> The spirit nods multiple times. Or, is it bowing?
> Another wolf spirit approaches.
> "So she's these guys' boss?" It questions. "She's not even a wolf, though..."
> There's more wolf spirits closer to where Waka was.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Whoa whoa whoa, everyone, let's not be too hasty..."

[Neovereign]

> "Whoa whoa whoa, everyone, let's not be too hasty..."

> "Ah. I see. She's a friend of yours, then. Sorry miss." The wolf spirit apologizes. "My friend is that mermaid, and we're actually trying to get back at that turtle or whatever for bullying our other friend. Red hair, can take her head off. Might have a big cart drawn by horses."
> "Ah. I see. You guys are causing a lot of trouble down here though. You should know the residents don't take kindly to challenge. No one's gonna sir back and let you hunt Yachie down." Saki explains. "Espexially when you're flooding the entirety of Hell like this. Youre probably giving her troops an advantage, even."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Oh, right, they were otters, weren't they?"

[Neovereign]

> "...Oh, right, they were otters, weren't they?"

> "Mhm. By the way, where is that redhead friend of yours?" Saki asks.
> "Safe."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Okay. I rather like everyone involved in this, so what can we do to come to a reasonably peaceful resolution?"
> "Also, Kagerou, where did your body go?"

[Neovereign]

> "Okay. I rather like everyone involved in this, so what can we do to come to a reasonably peaceful resolution?"
> "Also, Kagerou, where did your body go?"

> "I'm with Seki. These are wolves, so..."
> "So what? You act like we know...?"
> "Oh. Well, I found out I could oppress the wolf guys, but not any of the others. And it eventually got to be Like this. Doesn't feel like I'm really here, but they're not that tough. At least only one or two at a time..."
> "So you're possessing the spirits yourself? How ironic." Saki chuckles.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> Wiggle about a bit to try to get Aya's attention.

Aya:

> "Wow. Didn't realize you could do that. Any chance you could gather them here? Especially a nice big one with two heads."

Ami:

> Wiggle about a bit to try to get Aya's attention.

Aya:

> "Wow. Didn't realize you could do that. Any chance you could gather them here? Especially a nice big one with two heads."

> "I don't know if I can do all of that. There's a lot, and I've only tried a couple at a time. But I can try. Why, actually?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> Keep trying.

Aya:

> Do we notice activity within us?
> "Mostly to gather then with their boss here, to hopefully assuage their confusion and fear. "

[Neovereign]

Ami:

> Keep trying.

Aya:

> Do we notice activity within us?
> "Mostly to gather then with their boss here, to hopefully assuage their confusion and fear. "

> Nothing really. Maybe you could enjoy a bite to eat. Otherwise, Yuuma did drip a bit of water on you before she dried off fully...
> "They're capable individuals. They know I'm fine, as long as Yachie's not partnered with these new arrivals. Which, given how she was apparently the first attacked, seems highly unlikely."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> Try wiggling around harder.

Aya:

> Brush the water off.
> "They're very much not, no. But I guess it's fine if you don't need them gathered. Though, honestly, I'd still like to see my huge two-headed buddy again."

[Neovereign]

Ami:

> Try wiggling around harder.

Aya:

> Brush the water off.
> "They're very much not, no. But I guess it's fine if you don't need them gathered. Though, honestly, I'd still like to see my huge two-headed buddy again."

> You dry yourself a bit more.
> "I didn't see anyone like that around where we were." the wolf spirit, or maybe Kagerou, answers.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Do we feel anything unusual now?
> Look to Saki.
> "Is she still around?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Do we feel anything unusual now?
> Look to Saki.
> "Is she still around?"

> Not really.
> "By Yachie's place? Why would they be?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Ami:

> Struggle with even more intensity. It usually doesn't take Miss Aya this long to notice us...

Aya:

> "I mean around at all. There seemed to be a possibility that she'd get separated into her component parts."

[Neovereign]

Ami:

> Struggle with even more intensity. It usually doesn't take Miss Aya this long to notice us...

Aya:

> "I mean around at all. There seemed to be a possibility that she'd get separated into her component parts."

> You stir awake... You swear you were just taking on an unofficial reporting job for Aya or something... What a waste...

> "I haven't checked." Saki responds.
> You feel a bit of movement in your chest.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Raise an eyebrow at our chest.
> "Can you do so now, or...?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Raise an eyebrow at our chest.
> "Can you do so now, or...?"

> "It's not like I know where all of my guys are at every moment. Sorry." Saki says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Ah well."
> Reach into our chest and pull out the head of whomever's responsible for that movement.

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> "Ah well."
> Reach into our chest and pull out the head of whomever's responsible for that movement.

> You pull Ami out. Thankfully it doesn't seem like she's drenched - hopefully none of them were.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> "Oh, hey there. What's up?"

Ami:

> Look around.
