Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy

[Neovereign]

>Check the stuff we can see at the room.

> There's the bed, the door, a few decorations that were present in the other rooms, a small, rectangular object, and a few dressers near the bed.
> You swear you just saw something move by one of the dressers.

>Hmm, should we wake her up ? I guess.
>"Rumia ? Can you hear me ? Wake up."

> You contemplate waking Rumia up, and decide for it.
> Rumia stirs in her sleep.
> "A little longer plea..." She utters.

>Examine Cute and not-so-smart Darkness Youkai Rumia.

> Rumia is the shortest member of your group. Just a tiny bit shorter than Cirno. She wears a black dress with a white shirt underneath. She has short, blonde hair. She also has a red amulet on one side of her hair. It looks like a ribbon, but she claims that it's an amulet that she can't take off. Of all 5 of you, Rumia looks the most adorable, especially when asleep.

>Did the fairy maids look sad or something while working ?

> They didn't. They actually looked happy. But their expressions changed when Sakuya came. They looked really focused then.

>How does the fairy respawn system work ?

> Re-spawning occurs automatically when a fairy dies. For you, you wake up back at home. You believe that Cirno does so too. Though, recently, she's been able to re-spawn near the same place she died. You thankfully keep your clothes when you re-spawn.

>Remove the amulet.
>Nudge Rumia.

[Neovereign]

>Remove the amulet.
>Nudge Rumia.

>You remove Rumia's amulet and both you and Lily are blasted back to the wall with immense force. As your vision fades, You see a tall and mature-looking Rumia standing over you. Oh no, no, nononono! She's bustier than you!!!
Game Over

>You nudge Rumia. She opens her eyes and looks at you.
>"Daiyousei? Yawn~, what are you doing here?"
>She sits up and starts to rub her eyes.

[Monarda]

>Smile
>"Visiting you of course ! I was curious about what you told me and my affairs led me here, so here we are."
>Wait for Rumia to get up.
>Now that Nazgul mentioned, is that what would really happen if we removed the amulet ? If not what would ?
>"So why are you living here and what do you do here ?"

[Neovereign]

>Smile
>"Visiting you of course ! I was curious about what you told me and my affairs led me here, so here we are."
>Wait for Rumia to get up.

> "Oh, okay." Rumia says as she gets off the bed. She then begins to put the blanket back in place. "Welcome to my room." She says with her arms outstretched.

>Now that Nazgul mentioned, is that what would really happen if we removed the amulet ? If not what would ?

> You imagine what the purpose of that amulet in Rumia's hair is for. It can't be for decoration if she can't touch or remove it... Is it sealing something? Does it protect her? You have no clue.

>"So why are you living here and what do you do here ?"

> "They said I'm not supposed to talk about what I do here...Sorry."
> Rumia starts to gaze around the room. She then gets down to check under her bed for something.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Watchya lookin' for?"

[Neovereign]

>"Watchya lookin' for?"

> "Flandre." Rumia replies. "She's always in here when I wake up, but sometimes she hides."
> "Flan? Like, the dessert?" Lily questions.
> "Oh, I really want some. Do you have any?" Rumia asks.
> "No, I thought you just said you did."
> "Aw, I don't have any either... Hey, what were we doing again?"

[Monarda]

>"I think we were going to visit the other parts of the mansion, if that scary maid doesn't complain about it."
>"Rumia, and what about those fairies working here ? Why are they helping with the tasks here ? They're not...... slaves are they.... *shiver* ?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Have they been kidnapping anyone? This is super important!"

[Neovereign]

>"I think we were going to visit the other parts of the mansion, if that scary maid doesn't complain about it."

> "It's okay, I can take you anywhere. Except the mister sis's room. Sakuya says no one can go there unless the mister sis says so."

>"Rumia, and what about those fairies working here ? Why are they helping with the tasks here ? They're not...... slaves are they.... *shiver* ?"

>"Have they been kidnapping anyone? This is super important!"

> "They're not slaves, they work here as maids. Oh! Daiyousei, you should ask to become a maid!" Rumia says enthusiastically. "You get a place to stay and Sakuya teaches you stuff. She even gives you free food! Ah, now I'm hungry."

[Hello Purvis]

>"That sounds like a pretty sweet deal..."

[Neovereign]

>"That sounds like a pretty sweet deal..."

> "It is!"
> "I can't be a maid, I have to tell everyone that it's Spring." Lily says.
> Rumia walks over to the door and opens it.
> "I'm going to go get something to eat. You guys should come too."
> Lily starts to follow Rumia out the door.

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow as well. Food is always good.
>"What's the catch, though?"

Edit: Are we interested in maiding it up? Given Dainoji here is a faerie, it's pretty easily to rationalize getting in or getting out. In fact, we ought probably keep our intentions on our sleeves, given faerieness. In my case, I can go either way; though what I imagine would happen is that she would probably just wander off after a little while.

[Neovereign]

>Follow as well. Food is always good.
>"What's the catch, though?"

> You follow Rumia out the door, and your trio walk down one of the halls.
> "What's the catch? Uh...that means...that means the bad thing right? There's no bad things. I don't have to worry about getting beat up or the bright sunlight outside."
> "I think Daiyousei means the bad things for fairies, Rumia." Lily corrects her.
> "Oh, uh...they say that chief maid is scary sometimes, and she sorta is. Oh! They said that she's really scary when the mister sis is with her."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Food, but scary things... I dunno... That's a hard one."
>Follow along.

[Neovereign]

>"Food, but scary things... I dunno... That's a hard one."
>Follow along.

> "We can't die though, so why wouldn't anyone go for it?" Lily chimes in.
> "Well, they also say Flandre is way scarier than Sakuya, but that's a lie, because she's nice and fun."
> Rumia leads the three of you to a dead end. There's a moment of silence before she turns around and starts heading another way. The two of you continue to follow her.
> You hear noises coming from a corner a bit further ahead.
>_

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>"What's that noise?"

[Neovereign]

>"What's that noise?"

> Lily flies to the corner and peers around it.
> "It's fairies. They're running. Hey why aren't you guys flying?" Lily shouts around the corner.
> "Is that so?" Rumia starts walking to Lily.
> The sound sounds like screams and shouting now.

[Hello Purvis]

>Hurry ahead! Those could be kidnapping noises!

[Neovereign]

>Hurry ahead! Those could be kidnapping noises!

> You quickly fly to the intersection in the hallway and are passed by the fairy maids from before, running away from a small group of bats. Doors are opening on the sides of the hall as other fairies wake up to look out from their rooms at the scene. The bats ignore your trio as they pass.
> "She says we can't!" One of them shouts back in response to Lily's question.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Silly bats! You're not supposed to be indoors!"
>Wave arms to ward them away.
>"You're supposed to be outside eating bugs and fruits and fruit bugs! And be asleep because it's light out!"

[Neovereign]

>"Silly bats! You're not supposed to be indoors!"
>Wave arms to ward them away.

> You catch up and try to ward the bats away. Your attempts are ignored, and they continue chasing the fairies.

>"You're supposed to be outside eating bugs and fruits and fruit bugs! And be asleep because it's light out!"

> As you finish, the bats stop all at once and vanish when they converge at a spot. In their place stands a little girl with light-blue hair and a pink dress and matching cap. She has bat-like wings, as well as red eyes accompanying the most offended face you've seen since Rumia told Wriggle that she looked like a boy.
>"What!?" She questions from afar.
>The group of fairies escaped, turning a corner while the bats were distracted.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, hello there Missus Bats."
>Frown. Then look at Lily. "Is it okay for bat people to be indoors...?"

[Neovereign]

>"Oh, hello there Missus Bats."
>Frown. Then look at Lily. "Is it okay for bat people to be indoors...?"

> You greet the bat girl and frown before addressing your uncertainty to Lily.
> "I guess so. There's no rules against it or anything, is there?" Lily answers.
> "I do NOT eat bugs!" The girl snaps. "And I can be awake at any time I- wait, you aren't even a maid, are you? Saku-_^CLICK"
> "Milady," Sakuya begins, as she appears out of nowhere. "Reimu is here."
> "Oh! Is she here for me!?" The bat girl asks excitedly.
> "Yes, but for work. It's about the population of humans in the human village."
> "Hmm, I thought we were being subtle enough. Perhaps we should have been more serious at the possibility of her finding out... Does she know about Rumia?"
> "She still only knows that the darkness youkai lives here." Sakuya pours the bat girl a cup of tea.
> "Then we're fine. Let's go Sakuya."
> The maid and the bat girl start to walk away.

>Rumia's stomach rumbles.
>_

[Monarda]

>Huh, well that was weird.
>"What is that all about ? Are they kidnapping humans ?!? And what did they mean about you Rumia ?"
>Look at her confused.
>Continue heading towards the kitchen for food.
>Do we know what Rumia eats?

[Neovereign]

>Huh, well that was weird.
>"What is that all about ? Are they kidnapping humans ?!? And what did they mean about you Rumia ?"
>Look at her confused.

> "That was the mistress." A nearby fairy whispers to you from her room. "Chief maid says we shouldn't disrespect her and that we have to do everything she says or we'll be kicked out."
> "Unless you all want to start early, I suggest you stop gossiping and go back to bed." Sakuya says over her shoulder.
> "Sakuya, you should make them fight Reimu without flying. They are much less competent when they can't fly!" The bat girl insists.
> "As you wish... All of you, go fight Reimu at the entrance. Flying is forbidden, so if I catch one of you flying, that fairy will be sent to entertain the young mistress for the day."
> All of the fairies immediately barge out of their rooms, running down the halls.
> "How are we gonna not shoot each other?" Fairies ask each other as they run.
> "Can we still jump?
> "It doesn't matter, the red-white's going to beat us up anyways." another says less than happily.

> You ask Rumia your second and third question as Sakuya and the bat girl walk out of sight.
> "Your my friend, so maybe Sakuya would let me to tell you." Rumia thinks. "Sakuya said I can live here if I bring them humans. She told me to only go for someone alone and act like I was being beat up if Reimu or Marisa saw me. She also lets me hang out with Flandre because I can make it dark, and Flandre really doesn't like the light."

>Continue heading towards the kitchen for food.
>Do we know what Rumia eats?

> You remind Rumia that the three of you were in the middle of getting something to eat, and she starts to lead you somewhere again.
> Rumia is a youkai, so she eats humans. However, Rumia mentioned being beat up by Reimu multiple times because she's apparently not allowed to. It's likely that she just eats other meat instead. She really likes Mystia's lamprey, but then again, who doesn't?

> After a while of walking, Lily asks if Rumia knows where she's going.
> "Uh, not really. This mansion is really big and confusing. Sakuya usually brings me and Flandre our food together."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We're lost, aren't we..."

[Neovereign]

>"We're lost, aren't we..."

> "Maybe it's this way." Rumia says.
> The three of you walk through the infinite halls for what feels like forever, hitting dead end after dead end.
> "I should get going soon..." Lily murmurs.
> "Yea, we're lost..." Rumia admits.
> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Okay, okay! I know how to deal with this. If we check every door, sooner or later we have to find someplace we know! Or a window we can get out of."

[Neovereign]

>"Okay, okay! I know how to deal with this. If we check every door, sooner or later we have to find someplace we know! Or a window we can get out of."

>"But I'll get in trouble if Sakuya finds out I broke a window." Rumia says.
> "Wait, do you smell that?" Lily asks.
> The three of you stop to sniff the air for anything. You smell desserts, likely cake, as well as meat, around the corner.
> "We've gotta be close then!" Rumia cheers.
