Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 7

[Neovereign]

> Try giving Myon a wind order to move away from Youmu and next to us, just to see what happens.
> Slowly: "And you've observed no downsides from either of these options?"

> You try a wind order while you speak, and wait to see it play out and Youmu's response.
> Youmu claims it's true.
> Myon doesn't move towards you, though...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Purse our lips in thoughtful irritation.
> Hold the ribboned hand out toward Myon.

[Neovereign]

> Purse our lips in thoughtful irritation.
> Hold the ribboned hand out toward Myon.

> You hold your hand out for Myon.
> The phantom moves it's tail to untie it, as Youmu sounds like she's beginning to thank you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Might as well just wait this out.

[Neovereign]

> Might as well just wait this out.

> You wait for Myon to untie the ribbon.
> It manages, and you seem to be brought back to normal speed with the others...
> You don't see the ribbon on the half phantom's tail, however.
> "What I was explaining before, if you want to hear, that is." Youmu offers, as her phantom half regroups with Gwen.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure. Just give us one moment - I accidentally left before my lady here was ready."
> Tilt our head toward Hatate to indicate her.

[Neovereign]

> "Sure. Just give us one moment - I accidentally left before my lady here was ready."
> Tilt our head toward Hatate to indicate her.

> "R-Right... I was wondering why you brought her- and like that to a place like the netherworld..."
> "Back to normal now? You and these antics..." Megumu laments.
> "I was checking out what you guys were doing anyways. But yeah, I need to get proper off I'm going out..." Hatate states.
> Myon seems to be engulfing Gwen. You suppose Youmu is demonstrating anyways.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown sadly at Boss.
> "Hey, that one I couldn't possibly have foreseen..."
> Scoop Hatate up and bolt back to her house.

[Neovereign]

> Frown sadly at Boss.
> "Hey, that one I couldn't possibly have foreseen..."
> Scoop Hatate up and bolt back to her house.

> You head back to Hatate's residence.
> "Guess Megumu really didn't take kindly to your stunt huh?" Hatate speaks as you return to her door. "I understand where she's coming from. Survivors guilt would probably come in there, given you didn't tell her a thing."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Set Hatate down.
> "She very much did not. I'm pretty sure you can still see the tripod imprints in my back if you take my blouse off."

[Neovereign]

> Set Hatate down.
> "She very much did not. I'm pretty sure you can still see the tripod imprints in my back if you take my blouse off."

> "I wanna say she'll get over it." Hatate heads inside, still speaking. "But I know I'd get reminded every time I saw your new appearance. Hmm... maybe you should check on with Lord Tenma with her? They could probably diffuse the tension a lot."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Follow!
> "I've had Lord Tenma in mind as worth a visit, yes. For reasons other than cooling Boss off, but there's no reason I can't also do that."

[Neovereign]

> Follow!
> "I've had Lord Tenma in mind as worth a visit, yes. For reasons other than cooling Boss off, but there's no reason I can't also do that."

> You follow, finding she's starting a whole bath. Ah, just a shower, actually.
> "What other reasons?" Hatate questions. "We've mostly come back from the situations that happened on the mountain. I've gotta dig more into this other world or timeline stuff, too. Then spread the news of that..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Tenma and I traveled around a bit together a little while ago. It'd simply be following up on that."
> Concentrate on and get a feel for Hatate's form, not just by looking at her, but feeling the energy of her presence, and what connection she has to the winds.

> You sure they're not gonna be busy?" Hatate questions, proceeding without minding your presence.
>You think you've got a better handle on wind than her. Well, you're sure you do. She's not impressive compared to you. Not that she really was before, either.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "No. But when has that ever stopped me?"
> Resume focusing on her form in particular. Given we've discovered how to change our own form, and we have wind control, possibly enhanced by recent events, might we be able to change her form as well?

[Neovereign]

> "No. But when has that ever stopped me?"
> Resume focusing on her form in particular. Given we've discovered how to change our own form, and we have wind control, possibly enhanced by recent events, might we be able to change her form as well?

> "We'll see what happens with that stunt you pulled. You might not get off free for it."
> It doesn't seem like she's as much a follower of it as say, Suzaku is. You don't think you can change anything about her by doing anything with the wind. You're not sure you could for even Suzaku, but who knows.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What about simply willing changes in her to happen, like how we did for ourselves?

[Neovereign]

> What about simply willing changes in her to happen, like how we did for ourselves?

> Maybe with a bunch of vibration and vaporizing?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Ew, we certainly don't want that.
> "I'm aware. And should that come to pass, we'll just have to see what the future holds for all of us, won't we?"

[Neovereign]

> Ew, we certainly don't want that.
> "I'm aware. And should that come to pass, we'll just have to see what the future holds for all of us, won't we?"

> "Yep."
> Hatate finishes up, starting to dry off. At least she kept it quick.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Speaking of people possibly being busy somewhere else, you seen Momi lately?"

[Neovereign]

> "Speaking of people possibly being busy somewhere else, you seen Momi lately?"

> "I was just about to ask you if you've gotten in touch with her recently." Hatate says. "I haven't checked, but I probably could."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It'd be appreciated. When you're able, of course."

[Neovereign]

> "It'd be appreciated. When you're able, of course."

> Hatate wraps her towel around herself and picks up her camera.
> "She's-oh. She's uh, fighting with Youmu above the mountain? But we were just with Youmu? Well, in not sure if Youmu's fighting, but the tengu-like girl with the hat was."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Who's 'the tengu-like girl with the hat'?

[Neovereign]

> Who's 'the tengu-like girl with the hat'?

> If it's not a Tengu, then it's probably Saki.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "The tengu-like girl...oh, black wings, brown hat, looks suspiciously like me?"

[Neovereign]

> "The tengu-like girl...oh, black wings, brown hat, looks suspiciously like me?"

> "Yeah."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh. I thought Saki was with my group, which Momi wasn't."
