Parsee Quest (Part 3)

[日巫子]

> Walk up to Yasaka. "Hey, I see that you got a lotta birds 'round here now. So why didja take Satori's without asking her?"

> You walk up to Yasaka and ask her why she took Utsuho when she has all these other birds.
> "Utsuho is the only one with her ability."

> _

[Sect]

> "And it was so important that you couldn't just swing by for a few seconds and tell Satori, 'Oh, hey, I'm borrowing your pet for a little while to fight a giant moon'?"

Ooh, I think I know what Konngara's plan is, now...

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"So you wish to blow up that moon? Wait, we have a plan of our own we were going to undertake after we made you a favor of bringing your goddess over here"

[日巫子]

> "And it was so important that you couldn't just swing by for a few seconds and tell Satori, 'Oh, hey, I'm borrowing your pet for a little while to fight a giant moon'?"

> "It wouldn't have made a difference whether or not I asked her," Yasaka says.

>"So you wish to blow up that moon? Wait, we have a plan of our own we were going to undertake after we made you a favor of bringing your goddess over here"

> "Oh?  And what would that be?"

> _

[Sect]

Aw, man, Smoku, we DON'T have a plan. Not really, anyways. Oh well, let's go with this...

> "Konngara, here, knows Kikuri the best. Now that she doesn't have to keep her from blasting Reimu, we can" probably "get up to Kikuri and figure out what the hell is going on with her. There's no need to use Utsuho on her yet."
> Recall what oni do with humans, as far as kidnapping and dibs and all that goes.

[日巫子]

> "Konngara, here, knows Kikuri the best. Now that she doesn't have to keep her from blasting Reimu, we can" probably "get up to Kikuri and figure out what the hell is going on with her. There's no need to use Utusho on her yet."
> Recall what oni do with humans, as far as kidnapping and dibs and all that goes.

> Yasaka eyes you.  "I'm still keeping Utsuho up here, so if that goes wrong..."
> If an oni calls dibs on a human, they're basically the only ones allowed to touch them.  You don't know much else.

[Sect]

> "Right, right. Kinda rude of you, though, taking someone else's pet without asking. What if someone decided to take Sanae here for a while, huh?"

[日巫子]

> "Right, right. Kinda rude of you, though, taking someone else's pet without asking. What if someone decided to take Sanae here for a while, huh?"

> Sanae blinks.  "What?"
> "This has nothing to do with her," Yasaka says cooly, but you can tell she's starting to get mad again.

> _

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

This was the right thing to do, man.

>Uh-oh.
>"Fine! Fine. So please prolong your little plan, I'll come and report if my plan fails"
>Murmur: "I ain't donatin' to your shrine though ever"....

[Sect]

No, no, Smoku, we can afford to press her some. No sense in backing down until she's ready to smash our head in.

> "Yeah, you get upset. Just like Satori is right now."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

My intuition says she's gonna snap faster this time and it'll be worse so better keep it a little more polite... well. Proceed.

[日巫子]

>Uh-oh.
>"Fine! Fine. So please prolong your little plan, I'll come and report if my plan fails"
>Murmur: "I ain't donatin' to your shrine though ever"....

> "Yeah, you get upset. Just like Satori is right now."

> Mentioning Sanae hit a nerve.
> You goad Yasaka on some more, but she doesn't do much more than drum her fingers on her knee.
> Sanae looks at Yasaka for a little bit, then climbs back down the roof.

> _

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

See? And I don't want Parsee ending up killed by a raging goddess. (We can't follow my personal no-enemy philosophy, but this is Parsee here)

>Get down of that roof and out of her sight.
>What's Konngara doing?

[Sect]

Okay, fine. ::sulk sulk::

Spoiler:

Not really mad

[日巫子]

>Get down of that roof and out of her sight.
>What's Konngara doing?

> You get off the roof.  An onabashira flies over your head and crash-lands in the yard.  Utsuho yells something and runs after it.
> You look around at the front of the shrine to see what Konngara's doing.  She's still talking with that tengu.
> Sanae has already walked back into the shrine for some reason.

> _

[Sect]

So, guessing by that onbashira, Kanako's a bit peeved.

> Huh, where did Kogasa pop off to?
> Waltz over to Konngara.

[日巫子]

> Huh, where did Kogasa pop off to?
> Waltz over to Konngara.

> She's still in the shrine, reading those comics that were on the floor.
> You head over to where Konngara is.  She's holding a conversation with a tengu...or at least trying to.  The tengu is cowed and hiding behind another tengu, a young woman with wolf ears, a scimitar, and a shield.  No wonder, she looks ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

> _

[Sect]

> Wait, who's ready to fight: Konngara, or the doggy?
> Either way... "Wow, people ready to throw down at a drop of a hat; it's almost like we never left Old Hell."

[日巫子]

> Wait, who's ready to fight: Konngara, or the doggy?
> Either way... "Wow, people ready to throw down at a drop of a hat; it's almost like we never left Old Hell."

> The wolf girl.
> Konngara glances at you.  "Really?  These guys look ready to run at the drop of a hat.  Well..."  She looks at the wolf girl, who narrows her eyes.

> _

[Sect]

> "Yeah, birds tend to fly off. Puppies, though, they're braver, so I guess that's kinda of a plus."
> Hm... would Koishi or Satori like a dog or a wolf?

[日巫子]

> "Yeah, birds tend to fly off. Puppies, though, they're braver, so I guess that's kinda of a plus."
> Hm... would Koishi or Satori like a dog or a wolf?

> "I'm a wolf."  The wolf girl's voice is cut and dried.
> You saw a few dogs at the Palace, but they strike you as cat people.

> _

[Sect]

> "Hm, yeah, you do look like one, I guess. So, Konngara, whatcha talkin' 'bout?"
> Does the tengu look interesting?

[日巫子]

> "Hm, yeah, you do look like one, I guess. So, Konngara, whatcha talkin' 'bout?"
> Does the tengu look interesting?

> "I was asking them if they were taking good care of the mountain."
> The tengu hiding behind the wolf girl just looks like a generic tengu.

> _

[Sect]

> "And this is how they react? Rude, just like the goddesses 'round here."
> "So, Yasaka isn't gonna let Utsuho go back, and she's planning on having Utsuho blow up Kikuri."

[日巫子]

> "And this is how they react? Rude, just like the goddesses 'round here."
> "So, Yasaka isn't gonna let Utsuho go back, and she's planning on having Utsuho blow up Kikuri."

> Konngara opens her mouth to say something, but then you tell her about Yasaka's plan to have Utsuho blow up Kikuri.  She has a very scary expression right now.
> "...Is she?"

> _

[Sect]

> "Yeah, so if we wanna get Kikuri outta this mess, we have to move fast. Either that, or somehow force Yasaka to wait."

[日巫子]

> "Yeah, so if we wanna get Kikuri outta this mess, we have to move fast. Either that, or somehow force Yasaka to wait."

> Konngara looks towards the shrine.
> "...Make her wait, huh..."
> The wolf girl raises an eyebrow suspiciously.

> _

[Sect]

Yeah, this seems to be progressing just as I expect it to.

> Oh boy, she's going to do what we're expecting her to do, isn't she?
> Turn to the wolf. "So, er, wolf person. What's Yasaka expecting to do with all these tengu and kappa, anyways?"

[日巫子]

> Oh boy, she's going to do what we're expecting her to do, isn't she?
> Turn to the wolf. "So, er, wolf person. What's Yasaka expecting to do with all these tengu and kappa, anyways?"

> Ohhh man.
> You ask the wolf girl why Yasaka has all these tengu and kappa up here.
> "We've only just gathered all of the tengu and kappa here.  She hasn't given the kappa instructions yet, but we're being sent out to scout..."  When she says 'we', she must be referring to the tengu.

> _

[Sect]

> "Scout? For what? The moon's right there, it's not like you need to go anywhere to find it."
> If Konngara starts to make her move, distract the wolf girl with questions.
