[Neovereign]

> "Y-Yeah, how it feels is very important for judging. Demeanor is also important, though you both seem reasonably similar there, and I would be able to judge how you feel a lot easier. Er, h-how it feels."

> "Oh. You mean you wanna feel us up?" Minoriko asks.
> "How naughty ♪" Shizuha teases.
> "Rai Hourai Hourai! (It's not that indecent!)"

If you wanna go somewhere else with this, feel free to countermand.

> "Want to let her try ad determine?" Shizuha looks to her sister. "You'd want to know how it feels to be like this too, right?"
> "Sort of..."

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Y-yeah, anyone would!"
> Look shocked.
> "Wait, no, I didn't mean..."

> "Wait, no, I didn't mean..."

> "Oh well..." Shizuha says. "So how do you understand what those two say?" She points to your dolls.
> "We're just moving on?" Minoriko questions.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "...W-Well, uhh...I mean, if you're offering, I-I wouldn't say no..."

> "...W-Well, uhh...I mean, if you're offering, I-I wouldn't say no..."

> "Hmm?" Shizuha questions, crossing her arms as if to tease further.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Frown a bit more (in conflict/frustration rather than anger).
> "...I...said if you're offering I wouldn't say no."

> "Aren't you gonna see which one of us is better?" Shizuha invites.
> "Let's just settle with both of us being-... aww..." Minoriko notices herself and her sister beginning to flash.

[Suwako Moriya]

> How long did that last? Give both a time estimate and a comparison to Minoriko's first go-around.
> How many more mushrooms did we take with us?
> "Oh, that's too bad..."

> "Oh, that's too bad..."

> About 7... 8 minutes. It felt longer than Minoriko's first time.
> You had 3, meaning you still have 2 left.
> "What's too bad?" Shizuha asks.
> "It's over..." Minoriko explains.
> "Huh?"
> The two return to their original states, to your relief and dismay.

[Kilgamayan]

> Phew...okay, back to business, back to business...
> "Unfortunate. Though it is interesting that they lasted longer than your first time, Miss Minoriko."

[Suwako Moriya]

> "They did. I wonder if more use begets longer times."
> Look mildly thoughtful.
> "They grand physical toughness as well...I also sort of wonder if the string piercing from earlier would not hurt as much, or at all, if applied to someone in an enhanced state."

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod.
> "Miss Minoriko, perhaps you'd like to explain it to her, since you experienced it yourself?"

[Neovereign]

> Nod.
> "Miss Minoriko, perhaps you'd like to explain it to her, since you experienced it yourself?"

> "Alice could do this... uh, thing, where she inserted strings into your body. They hurt going in, since they have to break the skin and all... But it lets her control you." Minoriko says. "She could make you jump over and over like an involuntary reflex. But it's not completely against your will."
> "S-So she makes you her puppet?" Shizuha says.
> "Not... exactly. You can resist..."
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Miss Minoriko was able to resist notably more so than Marisa was in my experiments. And there is no need to worry, such experimentation involves ethical boundaries and trust that they will not be crossed. I have no need or desire to disgrace myself, let alone agitate Reimu enough to exterminate me."

> "That's good to hear." Shizuha says.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Look to Minoriko.
> "I suppose it is always worth checking, though. Do you believe I tried to make you do anything untoward?"

[Neovereign]

> "Kind of... but it wasn't that bad."
> "What was it." Shizuha speaks in a protective manner, as opposed to asking a question.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Oh? My apologies, I did not realize. I am curious as well, then."

[Neovereign]

> "Oh? My apologies, I did not realize. I am curious as well, then."

> "It felt like I was going to try and appear at another place, while already being there." Minoriko says.
> "Huh? You mean splitting your spirit?"
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Ah, that. When you mentioned being able to manifest in different locations, I was curious to see if you could actually be in two places at once physically. I assume that is not possible."

> "You were nearly about to get a few handfuls earlier..." Shizuha says.
> "It wouldn't be." Minoriko says.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Look at Shizuha with a bit of a blushing frown.
> "D-don't remind me of that, please. I'm not exactly proud of it. Anyway, if either of you could indeed appear in multiple places at once, that would be beneficial to mushroom growing and long-distance communication."

> "For something like that..." Minoriko speaks.
> "That'd be pretty useful. I might be up for that." Shizuha says. "Though, I'm not as useful as my sister in the areas of growing things..."

[Suwako Moriya]
