Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 7

[Neovereign]

> "My apologies, Miss Konpaku. It would seem my subordinate went a little overboard in her attempts to wake you up."
> Look to Myon.
> "So, did you plan for that, or...?"

> The phantom is just phantom shaped again. Nitori is also here, beside it. It looks like she changed too. Though, no growths like you and Youmu. She just looks like she's made of water, now.
> "Why would I... There was no one else here but Gwen." Youmu explains.
> "Since you're awake now, Miko wanted to talk to you about something. She's been patiently waiting outside, so be a dear and don't keep her waiting, yeah?" Saki suggests.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Huh. Does Youmu look 'normal' again, or is she still enhanced?

[Neovereign]

> Huh. Does Youmu look 'normal' again, or is she still enhanced?

> The latter.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, yes, we should probably give Miss Konpaku some privacy. Suzaku, come with me."
> Exit the room and return to where Miko was.

[Neovereign]

> "Ah, yes, we should probably give Miss Konpaku some privacy. Suzaku, come with me."
> Exit the room and return to where Miko was.

> You leave the room, followed by Saki and Suzaku, back to Miko.
> "Was she still asleep?" Miko questions.
> "Not anymore. We woke her up. You can go ahead and speak to her."
> "Mm." Miko nods, heading in.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Boss, assuming she's still present.
> "Shall we go reunite with Ami, then?"

[Neovereign]

> Look to Boss, assuming she's still present.
> "Shall we go reunite with Ami, then?"

> It seems she stayed back in Youmu's room for something?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Where did Tsukasa get off to, then?

[Neovereign]

> Where did Tsukasa get off to, then?

> She's been missing for a bit since getting to Miko's Residence.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Send a wind whisper back into the room, aiming for Boss. Feel for her wind trail to track down her specific location as needed.
> "Shall we go together to reunite with Ami, Boss? Or do you wish to dismiss us and remain here?'

> You send a bit of a message...
> Megumu returns after a few seconds.
> "I was just asking how she got to that point." Megumu speaks.
> "So how did she?" Suzaku asks.
> "Seija and her tools gave her an epiphany. Though she says she had a strangely colored ribbon too. I didn't see any." Megumu answers.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm. Sounds like someone has been busy on the sidelines. A shame we couldn't get to that first, but it is what it is."

[Neovereign]

> "Hmm. Sounds like someone has been busy on the sidelines. A shame we couldn't get to that first, but it is what it is."

> "You've been busy too. So, who's this Seija person? A blacksmith?" Saki questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Frankly, she can probably be just about anything if she wants to. She's an amanojaku with a wider array of knowledge and talents than the rest of Gensokyo should probably be willing to let slide, though she's mellowed substantially in recent days, and can be downright agreeable if she's of a mind to be. I guess becoming a mother got her to settle down a bit."

> "Sounds interesting. Wonder if we can meet her. After we get back to your friend, that is."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "There's only one upside-down castle flying in Gensokyo's skies, so if you spot it, you're golden. The question is then whether she's interested in visitors, especially visitors that are me, or even just look like me."

> "Sounds like you don't get along well with her?" Saki asks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I would certainly like to. I have no problem with her. But I get the distinct feeling I rub her the wrong way. Well, I rub most people the wrong way, but there's wrong ways that are easily ignorable and there's wrong ways that are better respected, and hers is the latter. That being said, you're probably novel enough that she'd at least entertain you for a bit. ...I mean that as a positive, to be clear."

> "You don't seem like that bad a person."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wink with a grin.
> "That just means I haven't done my job right around you yet. Though I'll grant I've probably gone easy on you because of how I don't want to put off someone that looks so much like myself."

> "That just means I haven't done my job right around you yet. Though I'll grant I've probably gone easy on you because of how I don't want to put off someone that looks so much like myself."

> "Or that I'm just used to ya."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's also possible. If you Animal Realm lot ever find yourselves in Gensokyo for an extended period of time, though, we'll see if that changes."

[Neovereign]

> "That's also possible. If you Animal Realm lot ever find yourselves in Gensokyo for an extended period of time, though, we'll see if that changes."

> "We'll see. Yuuma even didn't seem to mind you much."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, I definitely went easy on her, since she was initially the only one of all of you willing to travel with me. Ask Yachie what she thinks of me, you'll probably get a different answer."
> "Speaking of, though, will you be staying here with your master? Or are you going to return to the Animal Realm with us?"
> Is Suzaku still here?

[Neovereign]

> "I've got a home already." Saki answers.
> Yes.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Do you want to say your goodbyes before we head out, then?"

[Neovereign]

> "Do you want to say your goodbyes before we head out, then?"

> "Sure." Saki says, heading back. Though, she's interrupted by Miko returning - with Youmu and Nitori.
> Youmu, however, continues on to another part of the building, calling for Yuyuko. Nitori follows her.
> "Did I miss much?" Miko questions
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Just chatting. We were actually about to leave. If you're done, though, what did we do all that for?"

[Neovereign]

> "Just chatting. We were actually about to leave. If you're done, though, what did we do all that for?"

> "I just wanted to chat with her about something. She should've still had that ribbon, but I guess she lost it. You remember that cat making peoples' souls come out or whatever it was, right?" Miko questions. "It was on the topic of that."
> You don't recall anything like that. Seki's been with you for a while recently, and she certainly isn't a cat.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "That doesn't sound familiar at all, actually. Did someone mistake Banki for a cat?"
