Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 8

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, that makes sense, those are static pictures. But what's on her phone is a real place, being seen in real time. If you still don't think you can, that's fine, but I, at least, wouldn't dare underestimate you."

> "Maybe... But there's a chance I'd also just warp straight on top of Hatate's camera, and I wouldn't want to destroy it like that..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's fair. Hopefully you won't have too much trouble finding Ami and our other selves. And our Reimu and our Rumia, too, we don't actually know where they went."
> "...Actually, should we try sending you the same way Ami and Rumia went? It might be a struggle, you're bigger than they are, but it might also be good to not continue agitating that other Rumia."

> "She's comparable to you. I don't think that'll work." Hatate points out.
> "I do want to see that other Rumia too, if possible." Dai says.
> "If I do it, I'm stopping if she tries another attack like before. Otherwise, the orbs she makes seems to send you away."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we feel/sense anyone else inside the house?

[Neovereign]

> Can we feel/sense anyone else inside the house?

> Yes. Two others.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look disappointed, but shrug.
> "As you wish. I just had to ask, you understand."
> Gesture up and down at Dai.
> "Anyway, sure, load 'er up, Hata."

[Neovereign]

> Look disappointed, but shrug.
> "As you wish. I just had to ask, you understand."
> Gesture up and down at Dai.
> "Anyway, sure, load 'er up, Hata."

> Hatate checks on the other Rumia.
> It's darker than usual. But again, the sphere appears.
> "Okay, the we go." Hatate moves aside, closing her camera.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look thoughtful for a moment.
> "...Hata, stay here and keep watch over us. I'm going to go with her."
> Step into the bubble.

[Neovereign]

> Look thoughtful for a moment.
> "...Hata, stay here and keep watch over us. I'm going to go with her."
> Step into the bubble.

> "If the others ask, tell them I'm helping with an incident." Daiyousei speaks, as you join her in the encapsulating sphere.
> "Be safe." Hatate advises.
> The darkness covers you, and you can't see a thing...
> "You still here?" Daiyousei questions, tapping your arm. "Okay, good."
> It's like your eyes are closed and covered. There's not a bit of light in this sphere...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Just to be safe..."
> Feel for Dai's hand. If we find it, take it.

[Neovereign]

> "Just to be safe..."
> Feel for Dai's hand. If we find it, take it.

> You reach around, and soon find Daiyousei's hand.
> "Okay, that doesn't work..." Daiyousei says. "How about..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh. Uh, I'm admittedly not sure what we're supposed to do from here."

[Neovereign]

> "Oh. Uh, I'm admittedly not sure what we're supposed to do from here."

> "I don't really want to just wander around in the dark. I'm trying to get some light."
> And get some she does, though it's not a lot. In the form of a fireball.
> "Geez... It's still hard to see anything."
> It's hardly enough light to see yourself and Daiyousei... You're not going to be able to travel around like this. Though at least you can see where you are is different from where you were earlier. This isn't Daiyousei's treehouse.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Hmm...
> Feel out the shape of the surrounding environs via the wind.

[Neovereign]

> Hmm...
> Feel out the shape of the surrounding environs via the wind.

> You try to discern the environment through the wind, but... it feels like the entire area is filled with darkness. Not any regular old darkness, but advanced darkness. It's like you're trying to blow air through a straw filled with a bunch of junk.
> Still, if you've got the time, you should be able to find out the surroundings a bit through this method... eventually.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Spend a little bit of time trying, then, while Dai does whatever it is she's going to do.

[Neovereign]

> Spend a little bit of time trying, then, while Dai does whatever it is she's going to do.

> Dai brightens the light up a bit as you try to feel for the surroundings...
> After a bit, you can feel a tree, at least. It's leaves... the wind of this place seems unimpeded by the darkness, but you find it hard to follow in a different direction than where it's blowing.
> "Should we start looking for her? Maybe she'll find us first, given we seem to be the only light out here..."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure. It's weird, though...when we were looking at Ami, the environs were normally lit, not pitch dark like this. ...At the very least, wherever this is, our Reimu is also here somewhere."
> Lead Dai toward the tree, to see how long it takes before we can actually see it.

[Neovereign]

> "Sure. It's weird, though...when we were looking at Ami, the environs were normally lit, not pitch dark like this. ...At the very least, wherever this is, our Reimu is also here somewhere."
> Lead Dai toward the tree, to see how long it takes before we can actually see it.

> You lead to the tree, only taking a few steps before her light illuminates part of it.
> "Things are growing fine here, even though sunlight's not reaching it? Or are we just blinded?" Daiyousei questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "We could try heading upward, to see if there's some sort of cover."

[Neovereign]

> "We could try heading upward, to see if there's some sort of cover."

> "Alright." Dai agrees.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Fly straight upward, still holding onto Dai.

[Neovereign]

> Fly straight upward, still holding onto Dai.

> You fly up into the air with Dai, careful not to bump into the tree on your way up.
> You feel an unmistakable sensation in the distance. Even in this muddled place, and without being able to see... Someone pure, innocent, and beautiful is headed straight for you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh."
> Slowly break into a smile.
> "We've got the best kind of company."

[Neovereign]

> "Oh."
> Slowly break into a smile.
> "We've got the best kind of company."

> "Hm?" Daiyousei questions.
> "How fortunate to come across such a striking figure." You hear your own voice, as the Aya you saw in Hatate's camera comes into the light. "What's the reason for blessing my eyes and soon, Gensokyo's, tonight? In search of a lost little birdie?"
> "Aya?" Dai questions, looking between the two of you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Why, a lost little birdie and a found big birdie, of course. It would seem fortune has smiled on us both this night."
> Let go of Dai's hand and zip over to our other self.

[Neovereign]

> "Why, a lost little birdie and a found big birdie, of course. It would seem fortune has smiled on us both this night."
> Let go of Dai's hand and zip over to our other self.

> You dart over to your other self, realizing the difference in your sizes.
> "Don't tell me you let another person slip into here? We still haven't figured out just what to do with little Ami."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I was talking about you, silly."
> Lightly boop her nose.
> "What else was I to do when I learned such perfection existed here than come see it up-close for myself?"

[Neovereign]

> "I was talking about you, silly."
> Lightly boop her nose.
> "What else was I to do when I learned such perfection existed here than come see it up-close for myself?"

> "You come from another Gensokyo, right? Will they be alright without the beautiful Shameimaru Aya?"
> "We shouldn't be gone for long anyways." Daiyousei interjects. "We're on a rescue mission."
