Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 8

[Neovereign]

> It's night in Gensokyo.
> The promised hour.
> Someone else's night. Someone else's dream.
> That was important now

> Girls are continuing their night in Gensokyo.
> Who was the maiden of this night?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Aya can't be abandoned in the midst of a personal crisis! We have to rescue Ami!

> Are we familiar with a tengu (or group of tengu) named Kizumai?
> "I'm only being half-serious anyway. Not that I would say no to asking, but I have no actual expectations. Anyone come to mind for you?"

> "I'm only being half-serious anyway. Not that I would say no to asking, but I have no actual expectations. Anyone come to mind for you?"

> Aya Shameimaru. Fastest girl in Gensokyo, and the Tengu of the wind. Currently in a predicament involving one of her subordinates - er, friends. Is this the correct choice? Rather, is this your choice, for better or for worse, this night?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Yessir!

[Neovereign]

> Yessir!

> Aya can't be abandoned in the midst of a personal crisis! We have to rescue Ami!

> Are we familiar with a tengu (or group of tengu) named Kizumai?
> "I'm only being half-serious anyway. Not that I would say no to asking, but I have no actual expectations. Anyone come to mind for you?"

> You are Aya Shameimaru, once more.
> You don't recall any by that name, or similar names...

> "No one we're close with that would probably agree." Hatate responds, somewhat in thought.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Hmm.
> Can we feel Ami's wind trail within us?
> If so, can we feel where it goes?

[Neovereign]

> Hmm.
> Can we feel Ami's wind trail within us?
> If so, can we feel where it goes?

> You do not. The previous trail just vanishes where you previously had her slightly further up the mountain. There's no lingering trail or sensation of her wind within you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug with a slightly defeated expression.
> "I'm out of other ideas, then."

[Neovereign]

> Shrug with a slightly defeated expression.
> "I'm out of other ideas, then."

> "We could try Megumu..." Hatate suggests.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I'd been discounting that entire group, since they have their hands full. Otherwise I'd have Suzaku do it."

[Neovereign]

> "I'd been discounting that entire group, since they have their hands full. Otherwise I'd have Suzaku do it."

> "We could help them deal with that, then. Then they'd be unoccupied."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I mean, we could, but I was just in a conversation about letting other folks handle a matter and also giving Boss a bit of space."
> Adopt a thoughtful expression.
> "...On the other hand, if Boss is blasting off rockets, I guess we could use that as an excuse to pursue a story..."

> "We could visit Reimu, maybe?" Hatate gives another option.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That is a thought. I've been meaning to check in on her anyway, and this is as good a reason as any."

[Neovereign]

> "That is a thought. I've been meaning to check in on her anyway, and this is as good a reason as any."

> "If not what just happened, then the ribbon thing could be an incident starting up. At least getting ahead of it before it becomes one would be nice."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Let's do that, then."
> Still princess-carrying Hatate with hands strategically placed, take flight and head to Reimu's pad, using our hands to 'enjoy' our passenger as we go.

[Neovereign]

> Nod.
> "Let's do that, then."
> Still princess-carrying Hatate with hands strategically placed, take flight and head to Reimu's pad, using our hands to 'enjoy' our passenger as we go.

> You take off for Reimu's shrine, hoping Ami can hold out.
> You find no one is immediately outside...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Use the winds to check for anyone inside.
> If we can't find Reimu, try to find her wind trail.

[Neovereign]

> Use the winds to check for anyone inside.
> If we can't find Reimu, try to find her wind trail.

> You check, feeling two figures within.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Can you double-check to make sure Ami isn't losing her mind, just to be safe?"
> Land, setting Hatate down on her own two feet.
> Then head inside.
> "Hey, Reimu, you there?"

[Neovereign]

> "Can you double-check to make sure Ami isn't losing her mind, just to be safe?"
> Land, setting Hatate down on her own two feet.
> Then head inside.
> "Hey, Reimu, you there?"

> You set Hatate down and head in.
> Reimu is here, asleep at the table. So is Rumia, though, awake at the table.
> "Huh? A tengu?" Rumia sits up a bit in alarm.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hey, there are more than a few of us, and there isn't a better source of news and interesting events than here."
> Nod toward Reimu while still looking at Rumia.
> "Long day for her?"

[Neovereign]

> "Hey, there are more than a few of us, and there isn't a better source of news and interesting events than here."
> Nod toward Reimu while still looking at Rumia.
> "Long day for her?"

> "None of your business, that's for sure." Rumia stands.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hey, whoa, we're not here to cause any trouble."

[Neovereign]

> "Hey, whoa, we're not here to cause any trouble."

> "I don't know any Tengu that'd come to the Hakurei Shrine to not start trouble. Except maybe that purple one from the Kakashi news. Even Aya would come to start trouble."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "What do you-"
> Blink.
> "...Oh, right. You don't recognize me, do you, Rumia?"
> Send a wind message back out to Hatate: "Can you join me in here real quick?"

[Neovereign]

> "What do you-"
> Blink.
> "...Oh, right. You don't recognize me, do you, Rumia?"
> Send a wind message back out to Hatate: "Can you join me in here real quick?"

> "Why would I? I don't think I've seen you before."
> You call Hatate in, with her joining, and at least bring recognized by Rumia.
> "Well I know her at least." Rumia says.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What possessions do we have on our person?

[Neovereign]

> What possessions do we have on our person?

> None, still.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You have, just not this version of me."
> Give Rumia a bow.
> "Tengu reporter and Reimu trouble-causer extraordinaire, Aya Shameimaru, at your service."
