>Sigh. "I dunno if that's such a good idea though boss. I mean, she kinda has a job to do."

Well you guys, how do we defuse THIS?

> "So do you. Doesn't stop her." Yuuka says,

>"Komachi'll probably just mess with distance to keep us here if you try to bring her with us."

> "I wouldn't bet on it. She's overworked, underpaid, and too weak to stop me." Yuuka says.

> Somehow you get the feeling Komachi is probably sleeping or something, or else she might have forcibly messed with the distance between Eiki and Yuuka to keep Eiki away.

> "Besides, it's not like I won't bring her back home afterwards." Yuuka says, pouting.

> "I only had to make a new body because I underestimated how heavy that rod is. Also, the Dream World is my domain. My home field, not hers like Higan." Yuuka says, taking the Rod of Remorse from Eiki and throwing it away.

>"Please, boss. I normally don't ask for a lot, but I'm asking now. Please, just let this end here."

> "Then I'll follow you later! Oh wait I can't cross the Higan without you."

> She thinks again, then looks depressed, and drops Eiki.

> "Fine. But I'll drag you and that vampire of the lake into my room when we get back to make up for it... and that tree youkai. Where is she anyway?"

[Note: The main storyline of Elly quest is done. However, there is the possibility for you to do an 'Extra Stage' if you want to. This is completely optional, and not directly related to the main storyline. As such, my GM'ing of what happens in it will be less forgiving than usual, and you can get a bad end in the 'Extra Stage' without completely screwing things up on purpose. If I choose to continue the Elly Quest storyline, the Extra Stage would be counted as non-canon. It's just for funsies.]

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #1030 on:** October 03, 2012, 09:50:20 PM »

Well, what do you guys think? You wanna move on to the extra stage, or not?

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #1031 on:** October 03, 2012, 09:52:00 PM »

I don't really care one way or the other. You can choose.

Do eet! We like a challenge. Right?

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #1033 on:** October 04, 2012, 04:34:41 AM »

Personally, I'm okay with ending on as light a note as we can get. And ending here's as light as it's gonna get.

Raikaria · « **Reply #1034 on:** October 04, 2012, 06:48:00 AM »

Well... we're tied at 1 do it, 1 not sure and 1 not.

~_~

How about some more information to help you make up your minds.

It involves Elly's Day Job, guarding the Dream Portal.

SirChaotick · « **Reply #1035 on:** October 04, 2012, 03:04:18 PM »

I was hoping for that, to be honest.

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #1036 on:** October 04, 2012, 08:41:20 PM »

Well, as long as it isn't too serious, I guess so...

Raikaria · « **Reply #1037 on:** October 04, 2012, 08:51:02 PM »

Well, that's 2 for it, 1 neutral now... so...

2 Days later

===

> Your holiday is now over, and you're back at the gate to the Dream Worlds. You still ache after Yuuka was through with you, but it's nowhere near as bad as yesterday.

> The tree youkai left for Gensokyo after the whole event, although she decided upon a name, once Yuuka told her her species of apple. Sievi [Pronounced See-vee], based upon the original species of apple tree that she is, 'Malus sieversii'.

> Kurumi wasn't happy about getting dragged into Yuuka's realm and tortured. She's been staying away to lick her wounds the last few days.

> You suddenly feel something weird from the portal behind you. Turning, you see it has shifted color. Usually, it is a green~gold, the main colors of the sunflower. Now, it is a pinky~blue combination... shifting between the two.

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #1038 on:** October 04, 2012, 08:53:46 PM »

>Pink and blue...Don't we know about people who use those colors?
>Well, let's keep an eye on it, and see what comes through. If it's a hostile, then it's our job to repel it.

> No, you don't know about inhabitants of other Dream Realms. However, you have seen this portal before. As Reimu and Marisa apparently left Yuuka's realm, the portal turned this shade. Reimu and Marisa left not through Yuuka's realm, but whatever this one is.

> Yes, it's your job, and Yuuka can't back you up, her realm is sealed off from this one, unless she passes through whatever this one is.

> You recall that the portal reacts to whatever world wants passage the most, for whatever reason. Usually, it's Yuuka, because she doesn't care about intruders, employs you, and occasionally takes people through, and openly accepts challengers. However, she doesn't care about the portal being open to her realm much. Most of the time, other realms want to be left alone. The change in the portal means something has changed the mind of whoever is in this realm.

> For that matter, you and Yuuka still have no clue what happened when Reimu and Marisa got dragged into this realm... or why the inhabitants dragged them into it.

> The scythe stays still. You guess this means it has no clue. Scythes struggle to shrug, after all.

> You are pretty sure there is no danger to putting your head through, after all, something has to go through first, and you've seen Yuuka do it when she wants to talk to you. Well, there MIGHT be danger, but not from the portal itself.

> You poke your head through the portal.

> You see a... strange world. It appears to be largely red, with what seems to be stars mixed in the red. There are jet-black islands, as if they are made of onyx. There is a creepy moon, purple, which is clearly in a crescent phase, yet, the phase looks impossible, almost like someone took a small bite out of the upper left of the moon.
