Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 7

[Neovereign]

> Call out to Waka: "Best of luck to you and yours!"
> Take flight and head back in the direction we first followed Suzaku's trail, going at a brisk pace, but trying not to overwhelm our ward.

> "We'll let you know next time we're back in Gensokyo." Waka says.
> You start off for where Suzaku ran off the first time. You wonder if the happenings out here are newsworthy for Gensokyo. Then again, you already would have a main topic with the recent incident...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Try picking back up on Suzaku's trail, if we can.
> Once Waka is out of earshot: "So...do you still want to try it?"

[Neovereign]

> Try picking back up on Suzaku's trail, if we can.
> Once Waka is out of earshot: "So...do you still want to try it?"

> You can still notice and follow it.
> "Not unless I can change in some way like you did." Ami says. "It'll just spell disaster otherwise, like it has every time so far."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You have changed, though. We went way further back there than we had previously. And we could have gone even further if I wasn't already so blessed. That's substantial improvement for you over when I could only get most of one leg in."
> "Now, I do realize that it probably won't work as well with me now. But I did have an idea in that regard, a friend of mine that's smaller than I was before and has experience doing that with me."

> Ami sighs in expectance of failure as you arrive at where Suzaku vanished off through - and where you followed suit.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hold onto me for this part, it's going to get a little weird."
> If Ami does indeed latch on, then dive into the ground like we did last time to continue following the trail.

> If Ami does indeed latch on, then dive into the ground like we did last time to continue following the trail.

> Ami shifts to hold you as you carry her into Senkai, following the same method you did last time.
> No one's immediately around out here.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Keep following the trail until we emerge somewhere we know we can go directly to Gensokyo.

[Neovereign]

> Keep following the trail until we emerge somewhere we know we can go directly to Gensokyo.

> You keep on until you emerge back at the cemetery.
> "How did you do that?" Ami questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I don't know that I could explain it. I just...tried it, and found I could. You can too, I'm sure."

[Neovereign]

> "I don't know that I could explain it. I just...tried it, and found I could. You can too, I'm sure."

> "Hm. I see." Ami says, unsarcasticly.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah, it's weird. But Boss's fox just did it, and told us to just do it, and then Boss herself just did it, so Iv tried it, and it worked."
> Begin heading toward where we left our previous group. If our flight path takes us close to the kappa village, though, make a note of what's going on over there.

>>> You start back for the mountain.
> It's too far to investigate the Kappa down in around the Genbu Ravine, but it doesn't look like anything big is being done.
> You return to the skies above the tengu village, Hatate being present in the skies for your return.
> "Welcome back." She states. "As expected, the castle was a good spot. Though I think they ended up getting in a fight up there."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thanks. Any luck with Momi? Or no opportunity?"

[Neovereign]

> "Thanks. Any luck with Momi? Or no opportunity?"

> "It seems like she has some friends helping her out."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's good. ...Is Nitori one of them?"

[Neovereign]

> "That's good. ...Is Nitori one of them?"

> "Not sure. It didn't seem like it."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Come to think of it, how does Hatate's current figure compare to our previous one, in terms of Ami's quandary?

[Neovereign]

> ...Come to think of it, how does Hatate's current figure compare to our previous one, in terms of Ami's quandary?

> You believe Princess birb is a bit more plump than your figure used to be. Though you still had the superior legs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm. Well, if Boss is going to distract herself, I'm not about to stop her. Though I should probably get Suzaku back...what do you two wanna do?"

[Neovereign]

> "Mmm. Well, if Boss is going to distract herself, I'm not about to stop her. Though I should probably get Suzaku back...what do you two wanna do?"

> "Maybe we should give her a break?" Hatate says. "She's been with you since... I think for quite a while. You should take a moment away from these incidents, too. I mean, enjoying some rest and relaxation was nice for me just earlier today."
> Ami shrugs.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm. In that case, let's find Nitori, and make Ami's dream come true."

[Neovereign]

> "Hmm. In that case, let's find Nitori, and make Ami's dream come true."

> "Huh?" Hatate questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Come with us."
> Head back toward the kappa village.
> "So you remember how I was carrying you and Momi and Nitori around earlier? Ami keeps trying it, and she's got a legitimate knack for it, but she keeps getting interrupted by unexpected disasters. I won't fit at this point, but I think Nitori probably will."

> You start for the Kappa's area.
> "What says Nitori would agree to it?" Hatate asks, seemingly unknowing or forgetful of your previous arrangement with said kappa.
> if she's of similar size to that Gwen lookalike, she should fit...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> So, obviously, we can see a difference between Hatate's and Aoi's bodies. We could presumably also feel a difference in wind flows around the two. Can we feel a difference between their two bodies on any sort of metaphysical level? If so, do we think we could manipulate their bodies somehow?

> "We ask politely. If she says yes, then there you go. And if she says no, we either think of someone else, or shelve the idea."

> You do notice some difference between the two, but it's hard to make out much of what it means. Perhaps you can just try the fox's method again and just go for it? That seems to have worked well in the precious two instances, both changing your body and getting to Miko's place.

> "Alright." Hatate responds.
> You're above the village, though you don't spot Nitori yet...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Would we recognize Nitori's wind if we felt for it (assuming she even has any)? If so, try to locate her that way.

> You doubt it. You haven't been around her that much either...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Are there any kappa that look sufficiently un-busy that we could bother them with asking about Nitori?
