Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 28

[Kilgamayan]

//Oh wait, I missed the edit.

YukaBug:

> Think about whether or not our host did anything to truly seal Gensokyo off from the outside world.

[Neovereign]

//Hmm. On one hand, it's good that it's not something Yukari did as an act of retribution. On the other hand, it means we have no leads as to who actually IS responsible...

> Has the flow of faith stopped entirely, or has it simply reduced to a slow trickle, like in days past?

> For those affected, it seems to have stopped instantly and abruptly.

RanBug:

> Look down at ourselves.
> (F) 'Really pretty', huh...

YukaBug:

> Beat.

//Oh wait, I missed the edit.

YukaBug:

> Think about whether or not our host did anything to truly seal Gensokyo off from the outside world.

> ...She is nice when she's not going too far... I doubt Lady Yukari will answer me about the first one, but... "I have two requests, Lady Yukari. What business did you have to take care of?"
> "Those two girls that visit. One with powers similar to mine. I decided to stop visiting them for a while, and in turn, they won't be able to visit us." If she does manage to visit again on her own, that would be quite impressive...
> "...Er... Alright. And may I keep Daiyousei around?" Ran asks. Here's hoping for the other...
> "Yes Ran..." Just don't get further corrupted by her.

> You think...
> Yes, it seems she mostly has.

RenBug (F):

> Should we grab the letter before we leave?

---

YamaBug:

> Dissolve the spell preparation, returning our resources to storage.
> Begin preparing a (permanent) spell that makes our host just a little physically weaker than Yuugi.
> Continue monitoring our host as we do so.

> Renko starts to head back. "Wait a second Mer-"
> "Huh!?" Maribel seems to ignore Renko. It's not working.
> "What is it?" What's with the sudden jump. The letter's not anything bad.
> "I can't make one... It's not working Renko." Maribel tries again. "I can't make any to Gensokyo." M-Maybe I have to try dreaming... Maribel quickly heads out.
> Renko follows in confusion.

> You stop and prepare a different miracle...
> Yamame continues.

[Kilgamayan]

//Well, that's unfortunate. Probably not really anything to be done about it, either, unless anyone thinks it's a good idea to challenge Yukari directly. Hopefully it'll be gone in a day or two?

Gensokyo Collective:

> Try reconnecting with SumiDai. (Immediately disconnect again if we're successful.)

---

YukaBug (F):

> How did that corruption even happen, anyway?

RanBug (F):

> Phew...

---

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

---

Myon:

> Is Dream Youmu still dreaming, like she was before?
> Call upon our Youmu knowledge. Are there any tasks that need to be done today? Or did we do enough yesterday to have a free day today?

---

YamaBug:

> Cast the spell.
> Continue observing?

[Monarda]

//Well we haven't tried warping yet.

//Also, what if that also makes the Hypervessel Crew stuck again ?

[Tashi]

//Challenge Yukari? No thanks. The only way we are going to do that is if we think it's necessary to go to the Outside World/Gensokyo.

Secunde:

> Are we dressed?
> Can we hear anyone?

[Neovereign]

//In progress. Please watch warmly.

[Suwako Moriya]

//Challenge Yukari? No thanks.

//These are my thoughts as well. I mostly put it out there as a formality. And, truth be told, even if we were capable of taking Yukari on, I'm not terribly inclined to push back really hard on this, since Dai doesn't really have anyone to blame other than herself for this happening in the first place.

//That being said, if we subjugate Yukari, then things might be different :V

//Well we haven't tried warping yet.

//Also, what if that also makes the Hypervessel Crew stuck again ?

//We could certainly try warping, though it's now blind by default. Another thing I considered is warping from Gensokyo to Sumi's house, and then from Sumi's house to the RenMerry house. I don't know if Yukari's magic has that path sealed off or not. This would also theoretically be blind by default as well, though.

//I'm not sure it would stick the scientists again, as it only appear to be a barrier between Gensokyo and the RenMerry Outside World. We could always check to see if we still have contact with Diana and Alt2, though.

[Monarda]

//I'm not sure it would stick the scientists again, as it only appear to be a barrier between Gensokyo and the RenMerry Outside World. We could always check to see if we still have contact with Diana and Alt2, though.

//Diana is unable to reconnect to the hivemind, since we have ascended so much.

[Suwako Moriya]

//Oh, right. Well, Alt2 is still there, at least.

[Neovereign]

//Well, that's unfortunate. Probably not really anything to be done about it, either, unless anyone thinks it's a good idea to challenge Yukari directly. Hopefully it'll be gone in a day or two?

YukaBug (F):

> How did that corruption even happen, anyway?

RanBug (F):

> Phew...

> You successfully reconnect. She's waking a bit.
> You disconnect.

> "Don't forget what you think I can do, Daiyousei. It's better for you and your friends that way." Yukari states. I told both of them to- Despite your permanent miracle, you feel your life force split from Yukari's. An extremely clean split, as if someone cut a melon...
> Good...

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

Myon:

> Is Dream Youmu still dreaming, like she was before?
> Call upon our Youmu knowledge. Are there any tasks that need to be done today? Or did we do enough yesterday to have a free day today?

YamaBug:

> Cast the spell.
> Continue observing?

> Maribel remerges, getting into bed and closing the gap when Renko passes back through.
> "What now?" Renko asks. This is a lot to start the day with...
> "I'm gonna try and get back there in my sleep." Hopefully... Maribel closes her eyes.

> No.
> No. You worked hard enough yesterday. You should get supplies or food from the village however. This could be held off to tomorrow though.

> You perform the miracle when it's ready.
> Yamame is heading the usual spot she went to...
> Is this good enough?

//Challenge Yukari? No thanks. The only way we are going to do that is if we think it's necessary to go to the Outside World/Gensokyo.

Secunde:

> Are we dressed?
> Can we hear anyone?

> Yes.
> No.

[Suwako Moriya]

//Oh what the

YukaBug:

> Do we still exist?
>> If so, where are we? (Do not move around to check unless we are sure we're not inside Yukari anymore.)

[Neovereign]

//Oh what the

YukaBug:

> Do we still exist?
>> If so, where are we? (Do not move around to check unless we are sure we're not inside Yukari anymore.)

> You do.
> You are still within Yukari at the moment.

[Tashi]

//Were we isolated? What the hell...

[Suwako Moriya]

//RUDE

YukaBug:

> Demanifest!

RanBug:

> Beat.

---

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

---

Myon:

> How do we normally go about gathering supplies from the village? Do we have finances somewhere?
>> If we do, go and retrieve what is necessary for today's village trip.

---

YamaBug:

> Beat.

[Tashi]

//We had to de-manifest the bug anyways, safety wise...

//I bet Yukari already knows we were inside her. GG.

Secunde:

> In pajamas or something like that?
>> If so, look for our usual clothes and start to replace what we have currently on for them.
> Head out of our room once we are done.

> Dais currently awake?

[Neovereign]

//RUDE

YukaBug:

> Demanifest!

RanBug:

> Beat.

> You demanifest.
> Yukari seems to smile a bit smugly before she turns away from Ran in bed.
> "Er..." Was that directed towards us?

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

> Maribel gets back to sleep.
> "Um... what" What all just happened?

Myon:

> How do we normally go about gathering supplies from the village? Do we have finances somewhere?
>> If we do, go and retrieve what is necessary for today's village trip.

---

YamaBug:

> Beat.

> Yes.
> You retrieve Youmu's funds and...
> Well, you don't think you could fit one of Youmu's outfits like this...

> Yamame stops, examining herself further.
> I wonder if I'm stronger than Yuugi like this... It doesn't feel like it.

//We had to de-manifest the bug anyways, safety wise...

//I bet Yukari already knows we were inside her. GG.

Secunde:

> In pajamas or something like that?
>> If so, look for our usual clothes and start to replace what we have currently on for them.
> Head out of our room once we are done.

> Dais currently awake?

> Normal clothes.
> You head...
> You're in one of the living rooms, near Micheal's bed and Sanae's room. You'd be heading into one of the others or outside...

[Tashi]

//I bet Yukari already knows we were inside her. GG.

> Yukari seems to smile a bit smugly before she turns away from Ran in bed.

//PARANOIA MODE: ON!

Secunde:

> Outside! Don't just go to the room of others like that...

> Dais currently awake?

[Suwako Moriya]

//What a lamer. Now I kinda want to subjugate her out of spite. <_<

//I actually wasn't sure if she knew or not. If I knew she knew, I actually would have considered keeping our presence there, just because it's easier to keep tabs on her that way. The panicked demanifestation was because I didn't want to risk a scenario where she didn't know we were there but found out accidentally.

RanBug:

> Beat.

---

MerryBug:

> Check our host's dream.

RenBug (T):

> Hey, Miss Renko, it's me! Please stay quiet about this, I don't want us to get in trouble!

---

Myon:

> How much taller than Youmu are we?
> How bloated are we?
> Retrieve a clean pair of Youmu's clothes anyway and start putting them on, knowing full well that they probably won't fit us as we are now. Don't try to force them, either, just get them on as far as we reasonably can. We can make adjustments later.
> Within the shared dream, arrange the 4.5 ghosts inside of Dream Myon the same way they are inside the real us.

---

YamaBug (F):

> Maybe I should try lifting something heavy.

[Neovereign]

//PARANOIA MODE: ON!

Secunde:

> Outside! Don't just go to the room of others like that...

> Dais currently awake?

> You head out of the shrine.

> Secunde, RanBug, MerryBug, RenBug, MichealBug, CopBug, YamaBug, Myon, RuuDai, Sumidai. Diana and VirBug seems to be waking.

//What a lamer. Now I kinda want to subjugate her out of spite. <_<

MerryBug:

> Check our host's dream.

RenBug (T):

> Hey, Miss Renko, it's me! Please stay quiet about this, I don't want us to get in trouble!

> Ran pauses for a moment, before heading out. I guess she'll be asleep soon...

> You check...
> Maribel seems to be in a crumbling interior. You can't tell where it is. It looks a bit familiar. She seems to be panicking a bit as she realizes this place won't stay up long...

> "Huh?" Renko asks, further confused.

Myon:

> How much taller than Youmu are we?
> How bloated are we?
> Retrieve a clean pair of Youmu's clothes anyway and start putting them on, knowing full well that they probably won't fit us as we are now. Don't try to force them, either, just get them on as far as we reasonably can. We can make adjustments later.

---

YamaBug (F):

> Maybe I should try lifting something heavy.

> Much more so.
> Pretty bloated. It'd be a pain getting into and out of rooms.
> You start to get an outfit on...
> You rearrange the ghosts...

> Need a boulder somewhere... Maybe I can break one off. Yamame heads over to the wall of the cave.

//Don't doubt it. Yukari would find out eventually. (cuz Yukari lolol)
//Let's not draw conclusions, however. We don't know if that was just a coincidence (which I personally don't think).

Secunde:

> Look around. Anything out of place?
> Realize that Tashi is controlling me only to not do anything.

[Suwako Moriya]

RanBug:

> Think about whether Ran has ever had romantic feelings for Yukari.
> (F) Still...I wonder if I should tell her later about how it felt when she touched me...

---

MerryBug:

> Keep watching.

RenBug (T):

> It's me, Daiyousei! I think Miss Yukari did something to lock you out here! Please don't tell anyone you can hear me!

---

Myon:

> Does Youmu at least come up to our chest? Or is she not even that tall?
> While we are putting on our clothes, rearrange Yuyuko, Merlin, and Lyrica inside us around the LunaMyon embrace to take up the smallest possible amount of space. Try to keep everyone within the main part of our body (torso and belly areas), though it is okay to fit single limbs perfectly matching inside our limbs.

---

YamaBug:

> Think about what Yamame thinks of her new body. Think about particular aspects she likes or doesn't like.
> Continue observing Yamame's pursuit of a boulder.

VirBug:

> Once we're properly awake, check on our host.

> You think...
> She has not.
> Er... that'd be bothersome... She probably knew already with how I reacted...

> Maribel begins to run, trying to pinch herself awake.
> She suddenly wakes.
> "Oka-" Renko goes quiet as Merry wakes. Ah, she's up.

Myon:

> Does Youmu at least come up to our chest? Or is she not even that tall?

VirBug:

> Once we're properly awake, check on our host.

> You get better awake first...

[Suwako Moriya]

RanBug:

> Think about what our host thinks about us having seen her nude.
> Think about what our host specifically thinks about us taking her clothes off while in control of her body.
> Continue monitoring our host as she travels.

---

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

---

Myon:

> Where does Youmu come up to on our body, then? Does she even reach our navel?
> Continue getting pseudo-dressed.

---

YamaBug:

> Stop time.
> Prepare a spell that makes Yamame's body as physically tough as Yuugi's (in terms of force being applied to her body, not in terms of her body applying force to another object).
>> If the spell can be prepared, cast it once it is ready and resume time.
>> If the spell cannot be prepared, simply resume time.

VirBug:

> Work on waking up properly, then.

RanBug:

> Think about what our host thinks about us having seen her nude.
> Think about what our host specifically thinks about us taking her clothes off while in control of her body.
> Continue monitoring our host as she travels.

> Your host thinks it's too late to change if you saw or not...
> She hasn't considered that.
> Ran heads back for her room. "Well... You're still here, right?" Unless she did go back to sleep...

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

---

Myon:

> Where does Youmu come up to on our body, then? Does she even reach our navel?
> Continue getting pseudo-dressed.

> "Um..." Renko looks over.
> "T-That wasn't near Daiyousei..." Maribel says. I don't even think that was travelling anywhere..." Just a burning down dream.

> Yes. You are big enough to fit her and others in your torso...
> You get as dressed as you can right now...

YamaBug:

> Stop time.

VirBug:

> Work on waking up properly, then.

> You stop time and prepare a miracle for durability...
> You finish and cast it, resuming time.
> Yamame punches the wall, doing a little to it.
> "Huh..." Guess I'm not as strong as her, but that didn't even hurt a bit!

> You get yourself woken up.
> Virtue seems to be thinking. She's awake.

[Suwako Moriya]

RanBug:

> Resume speaking out loud using our host's regular (only) head and our host's voice. Do this for all dialogue until otherwise noted.
> "Yes, Miss Ran."

---

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

---

Myon:

> Retrieve Youmu's swords from inside us and put them down on Youmu's bed.
> Change our body size and shape so it matches that of Youmu's current body size and shape by default. Note that the others inside our torso are most likely going to stretch us out; this is acceptable. If it appears that our body is going to be stretched out in weird ways that risk ripping our clothes, move the clothes out of the way so they do not get ripped.

---

YamaBug (F):

> And I'm definitely stronger than I was before, at least!

---

VirBug:

> Listen to our host's thoughts.

[Neovereign]

RanBug:

> Resume speaking out loud using our host's regular (only) head and our host's voice. Do this for all dialogue until otherwise noted.

> Maybe it's just her not wanting to talk near Yukari. "Okay." Ran nods, returning to her room.
> Chen is still asleep.

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

> "W-Well, maybe you should keep trying things." Renko asks. "Just be safe with them." Why is she only contacting me. She's better friends with Merry.
> Maribel nods.

> You retrieve Youmu's swords and place them down.
> You them shift so that you appear more like Youmu's body and shape.
> Your torso still stretches too far for your clothes. If they were bigger, you think you'd be able to pass as Youmu.

YamaBug (F):

> And I'm definitely stronger than I was before, at least!

---

VirBug:

> Listen to our host's thoughts.

> Yamame nods.
> I wonder what else I can do... She looks around.

> We've already done a lot though... That's not just something for friends... This isn't good...

MikeyBug, CopBug:

> Check in again. Anything new and/or exciting happen yet?

---

HifuuBugs:

> Beat.

RanBug:

> "Um...thank you for supporting me, Miss Ran..."

---

Myon:

> We are at (or at least very near) Youmu's height now, correct?
> Magically alter our clothes so they are able to fit over our current body shape in a reasonable manner.

---

YamaBug:

> As we look around, look down at our chest.

---

VirBug:

> Does our host appear to be doing anything other than lying there and thinking?
> Think about whether or not our host has noticed the new additions we made for her last night.
>> If she has noticed, think about what she thinks of them.

> Yes.

> Continue thought-listening.

> Hm... Yamame looks down, before hitting her chest lightly. It bounces a bit.
> "Well, it's not hard... Maybe Yuugi's are like that..." Or maybe it's just my body. New body, I guess...

> No.
> You think.
> She has. She has also taken some from it, before stopping after a bit...
> She seems to be dwelling on the intimacy of letting you do what was done yesterday, and if she should not continue.
> I did say I'd tell her when se could continue though...

Myon:

> Magically change our 'skin' tone and color so it is the same tone and color as Youmu's and is also opaque.

> Maribel frustratingly tries again.
> Nothing.
> "Um, I'll be in the bathroom for a moment Merry..." Renko heads out of the room and towards the bathroom. This should let me talk to her.

> "I doubt she'd let us..." Ran starts to dress. Or, her, I mean... It's not like I do it myself.

> You perform a miracle to change your surface...
> You equip your swords.
> You examine yourself...
> You look mostly like how Youmu's phantom half would when mimicking her appearance. Your clothes are Youmu's actual clothes though, that being the main difference.

YamaBug:

> Look back at our backside, too.

VirBug:
