Alice Quest - The Seven Colored Puppeter's Week

[It's Purvis!]

>Fascinating.
>Softly, so as not to startle her. "It's working..."

[Neovereign]

>Fascinating.
>Softly, so as not to startle her. "It's working..."

> "Huh? Relaxing's actually doing something?" Kanako questions.
> She's... growing to a bit of an alarming size, and faster. She'll break part of the shrine if she continues and doesn't move aside...
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"You may want to move up a bit, Miss Kanako!"

[Neovereign]

>"You may want to move up a bit, Miss Kanako!"

> "I think you're growing too big. But uh, keep relaxing! Just... don't bump into the shrine." Sanae advises.
> The goddess moves away from the shrine as she grows.
> Not too long after, her height matches it, and she's not slowing in growth yet.
> "I think I liked it before when I was stopping this from happening..." Kanako speaks.
> "You were?"
> "It's a waste to exaggerate my body like this."
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>How large is she compared to us?
>"I don't know...I think it's nice. It suits a goddess, don't you think, Meiling?"

[Neovereign]

>How large is she compared to us?
>"I don't know...I think it's nice. It suits a goddess, don't you think, Meiling?"

> "Mhm. It seems the mushroom thinks so too."
> "Yeah, let's just see how big it makes you. Then you can just undo it, right?" Sanae questions.
> Still smaller. Though if this continues, not for long.
> Kanako seems to decide on what Sanae spoke, and her growth continues.
> Past the shrine... Now Meiling...
> You don't think there's going to be much space here for her to stand on if she continues. The mushroom's effect should still last a bit longer too...
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>At this point, all there is to do is watch in a kind of awe. It's hard not to feel a little jealous...
>Does she seem to be enjoying herself, or showing any other interesting signs?
>"Amazing...simply breathtaking."

[Neovereign]

>At this point, all there is to do is watch in a kind of awe. It's hard not to feel a little jealous...
>Does she seem to be enjoying herself, or showing any other interesting signs?
>"Amazing...simply breathtaking."

> She looks a bit worried. Not taking it as well as you or Meiling. Or anyone else in fact. But it doesn't seem outright negative from her expressions yet.
> She floats a bit off the ground and away from the shrine, before stopping her growth.
> Her outfit details a bit like the scenery, but different. Part of it that you can see is the Moriya Shrine, at least.
> You only get a bit more time to view it before her outfit fades back into how it originally looked.
> "You're massive Lady Kanako!" Sanae looks up. "Does it feel great? I felt great when I ate them."
> "I definitely feel stronger, but this situation isn't something I can like." Kanako speaks a bit quietly. "This is going to cause me a lot of annoying problems if I don't stop it."
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"A few temporary problems. perhaps. They can be dealt with if needed. I must say, you've had by far the most powerful reaction. And you look more divine than ever. I rather liked what you did with your clothing for the moment."

>"A few temporary problems. perhaps. They can be dealt with if needed. I must say, you've had by far the most powerful reaction. And you look more divine than ever. I rather liked what you did with your clothing for the moment."

> "I mean problems with the rest of the mountain and their residents... Moving about or bumping into things isn't my worry here."
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Oh, what sorts of problems? I am sure they won't mind letting you use as much of the mountainside as you like."
>If she keeps going, she won't need to, she coudl just work from the valleys. Oh my...

[Neovereign]

>"Oh, what sorts of problems? I am sure they won't mind letting you use as much of the mountainside as you like."
>If she keeps going, she won't need to, she coudl just work from the valleys. Oh my...

> "They're not the kind I would like to openly explain, but I can tell you that this would either be negatively beneficial, or actually bad depending on how others on the mountain react." Kanako explains. "If this was elsewhere, like the human village, it would be better. That is, if not for seeing a giant woman in the middle of their home being something humans don't exactly enjoy."
> Well, they didn't seem too worried about your appearance to start raising any pitchforks or shouting.
> Ah, the goddess is beginning to flash...
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"I don't know, people in the village seem to have taken well to it. Ah, it's about to end, I think, so there shouldn't be a problem in enjoying the last few moments."

[Neovereign]

>"I don't know, people in the village seem to have taken well to it. Ah, it's about to end, I think, so there shouldn't be a problem in enjoying the last few moments."

> "I'm glad I didn't relax at the start then... I can probably still explain away this if it comes up since it was fairly short." Kanako speaks, as she returns to her usual size, floating in the air.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"I'd say it's a shame that you didn't, you had such marvelous compatibility."
>How did Meiling and Sanae seem to take this display?

[Neovereign]

>"I'd say it's a shame that you didn't, you had such marvelous compatibility."
>How did Meiling and Sanae seem to take this display?

> Meiling seems to be in thought, while Sanae is listening with a bit of excitement on her face.
> "I'd like if I could ignore the growth parts of that." Kanako expresses. "The other parts I felt were good."
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"You make it sound so unpleasant!"

[Neovereign]

>"You make it sound so unpleasant!"

> "Again, if it were somewhere else, I might've been fine with growing that large."
> "I'm kinda surprised that no Tengu have arrived here to check out what happened yet." Sanae speaks up. "Maybe they're already writing about it."
>_
//edited misspelled "fight" to "fine".

[It's Purvis!]

>"Well, would you like to name a place?"

[Neovereign]

>"Well, would you like to name a place?"

> "I guess far from the mountain? Near the Human Village, or Hakurei Shrine."
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"That is not impossible to arrange..."

[Neovereign]

>"That is not impossible to arrange..."

> "I'll think about that another time... I should be preparing for any Tengu that saw this."
> "Doesn't seem like any are coming though." Sanae says. "I say we're clear to go. And even if they do come, we could say we were testing a giant robot in you likeness. Don't you think that'll help?"
> "...I don't think they'll believe that."
> "There's no other shrine maidens on the mountain. I'm probably the only one who could be sure that it was you. Well, me and Lady Suwako."
> "Sensory abilities actually don't seem that rare in Gensokyo..." Meiling corrects.
> "We could still explain it as a robot, I believe." Sanae insists.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Simply tell them it is divine mystery, and refuse to tell them any more with a cheeky smile? Let them think as they please."

[Neovereign]

>"Simply tell them it is divine mystery, and refuse to tell them any more with a cheeky smile? Let them think as they please."

> "I think Lady Kanako's problem is that she doesn't want too much faith from just the mountain alone." Sanae puts a finger to her chin.
> "I was trying not to make that more known..." Kanako sighs.
> "Ah, sorry! But if that's true, you can do what they suggested and be big somewhere else. If there's more influx of faith, that's good, but if there isn't, then that means there wouldn't have been over here, right?"
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>Doesn't want too much faith from the mountain? How very strange? Why would she care where it comes from, so long as she has it?
>"I'm sure it should be easy enough to find someplace else."

[Neovereign]

>Doesn't want too much faith from the mountain? How very strange? Why would she care where it comes from, so long as she has it?
>"I'm sure it should be easy enough to find someplace else."

> You haven't heard of any bad news with the mountain, unless it's being kept secret, so you don't think she's using other places as a backup. But maybe she's planning something that could lose the mountain's faith? That would be one reason for needing sources elsewhere.
> "Even though that's an interesting consumable, I don't intend on using up all of your resources, so you shouldn't worry about it." Kanako waves.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Well, we can surely spare a few."

[Neovereign]

>"Well, we can surely spare a few."

> "Can you, though? You sure you won't need them for later?"
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"They do grow back. But, we wouldn't want to force you."

[Neovereign]

>"They do grow back. But, we wouldn't want to force you."

> "I've already seen the effects on me so... I'll consider what can be done with it later. I don't want to just eat them and then have to think on the spot what to do..."
