Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 8

[Kilgamayan]

> "Great, thanks. Have a good night. Please give Miyoi my regards and sympathy. I'd go myself, but, uh, I probably shouldn't be wandering the Human Village right now."

> "Great, thanks. Have a good night. Please give Miyoi my regards and sympathy. I'd go myself, but, uh, I probably shouldn't be wandering the Human Village right now."

> "Mm... I won't ask." Kasen says, starting to take her leave.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give her some moments to leave.
> Then take flight and head home ourselves.

[Neovereign]

> Give her some moments to leave.
> Then take flight and head home ourselves.

> You start home, half wondering if Yukari will pop up on the way. Though you're never given any audience in the end...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Head inside, making sure to lock up behind us.
> Then get our bed ready for our current state.

[Neovereign]

> Head inside, making sure to lock up behind us.
> Then get our bed ready for our current state.

> You head in and make the most of your bed area.
> ...Anytime now, Yukari. You at least expect her to come in and muse about how you managed this on your own. Or at least mention your new changes in general...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Oh well, it'll happen if it happens.
> Double-check Ami one last time to make sure she's okay. If she is, hit the hay and go to sleep ourselves.

[Neovereign]

> Oh well, it'll happen if it happens.
> Double-check Ami one last time to make sure she's okay. If she is, hit the hay and go to sleep ourselves.

> She seems fine as far as you can tell. Still breathing.
> You settle down and save existing for tomorrow. A lot has happened, after all...
> ...

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Are we still awake?

[Neovereign]

> ...Are we still awake?

> You... appear to be?
> You're in the human village, taking to someone? Were you sleepwalking? A dream?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Are we dreaming, perhaps? The dream world's attention was recently called to Gensokyo matters...
> Who are we talking to, and what are we talking about?
> Do we appear as we should?

[Neovereign]

> ...Are we dreaming, perhaps? The dream world's attention was recently called to Gensokyo matters...
> Who are we talking to, and what are we talking about?
> Do we appear as we should?

> You'd assume so. Especially given your lack of changes. You're not even how you recall yourself looking just after that moon thing recently. It almost feels like too little to lug around... you're in your "human disguise".
> You seem to be speaking to Kosuzu. Though that's just based on visuals. The conversation completely eludes you, whatever it was, if you even started chatting yet.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Blink, then briefly shake our head a little, as though trying to shake out a sudden mental fog.
> "So how are you doing lately, little lady?"

[Neovereign]

> Blink, then briefly shake our head a little, as though trying to shake out a sudden mental fog.
> "So how are you doing lately, little lady?"

> "Hey, don't switch the subject." Kosuzu says, pouting. "I'll be upset if you seriously forgot."
> Given the lack of other's nearby your context clues suggest it isn't her birthday or anything... though you aren't in Suzunaan, and others could be waiting there to surprise her if it is...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Sigh and place a hand on the side of our head in frustration.
> "Sorry. Something just...happened to my mind. I don't know what. But I can't recall anything between going to bed and five-ish seconds ago."

[Neovereign]

> Sigh and place a hand on the side of our head in frustration.
> "Sorry. Something just...happened to my mind. I don't know what. But I can't recall anything between going to bed and five-ish seconds ago."

> Kosuzu stares at you.
> "Seems awfully convenient... but whatever, I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it. You don't lie, after all." She sighs. "It's the day Reimu allowed me to hang out with some of our friends. I couldn't find miss Mamizou, so- ah, that's not to say you're not as interesting. Just that she was around more recently."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Does Kosuzu have some sort of Reimu-sponsored 'this is when you can interact with youkai' schedule? Or does it seem more likely that Kosuzu is saying today is the anniversary of when Reimu first permitted youkai interaction?

[Neovereign]

> Does Kosuzu have some sort of Reimu-sponsored 'this is when you can interact with youkai' schedule? Or does it seem more likely that Kosuzu is saying today is the anniversary of when Reimu first permitted youkai interaction?

> She doesn't.
> That also seems unlikely. If Reimu heard word of her using that day as an excuse to go out with Youkai annually, she'd likely flip... this could be Kosuzu's dream, or another world like the dark one.
> It seems unlikely to be the former, unless she's not lucid, as you doubt she'd settle for a one youkai hangout...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "No worries, I get that I can be hard to get ahold of sometimes, especially around here. What would you like to do together, then?"

[Neovereign]

> "No worries, I get that I can be hard to get ahold of sometimes, especially around here. What would you like to do together, then?"

> "How am I supposed to know what you guys usually do?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I mean, it's your freedom time, so I wanted to make sure we'd be doing something you wanted to do. But if you would prefer to leave it to me, I can certainly do that. Maybe we should visit some folks you don't normally get to see? Like the cute librarian at the vampire manor by the lake, or the cute bunnies at the Lunarian manor in the Bamboo Forest. Or the cute tengu back in my village."
> Grin.
> "Or maybe some quality romantic alone time speeding through the skies with the cutest tengu of all of them~"

> "Well, the chance to fly in general seems great. Let's start with that?" Kosuzu requests.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Sure. This way, then, please, I would rather not look like I am abducting a human in the middle of the village and running away."
> Head to the edge of the village on-foot.
