Title: (Shiki)Eiki Quest the 2nd - Text Adventure of Mystic Light
Post by: Blitzer on January 06, 2011, 07:16:54 AM
>You are Shikieiki Yamaxanadu, and it's been an awful past week.
>Lately you've been having these strange nightmares that consist of what is basically a multi-part The Reason You Suck Speech (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheReasonYouSuckSpeech) and Hannibal Lecture (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HannibalLecture) delivered by a mysterious, shadowy figure that looked like an Eldritch Abomination. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination) Because of those nightmares, you've been doubting yourself, your position as the Yama, and how moral you really are. You haven't lectured anyone for the past week, which shows just how effective these nightmares are.
>And that's not the only problem. After the first nightmare, you woke up to find your Cleansed Crystal Mirror (http://www.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento:_Shikieiki_Yamaxanadu) broken into little pieces. You don't even know if those can be normally destroyed. The day after that, your Rod of Remorse (see above link) was found destroyed as well. And the day after that, your ability to see deeds in black and white stopped working normally, only seeing shades of grey (figuratively). All of this came with a gradual reducing of your power. You're probably only as strong as Yukari Yakumo right about now, and it has no signs of stopping.
>You've been unable to carry out your job for the past week, so you've been hanging out with Komachi. That didn't help you relax at all.
>You have wandered around Gensokyo today, seeking answers to your problems. You have got Reimu to assist you with this. You have went over to Hakugyokurou, witnessed Youmu leaving Yuyuko, and Yuyuko joining your party. You have found out from Reisen about two rival fairy armies who are about to battle at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. You have went over to the SDM, and found out about Sakuya's forced compulsion to stab Meiling and found out about Sakuya's minor complaints about her master. (Say, you should go back to her to hear if Ichirin Kumoi knew anything about the fairy armies.) You have visited Eientei and talked to Eirin about your nightmares, and heard the voice in your head who you suppose is behind all this that it's ggoing to do something horrible to Koishi. After that, you visited Yukari. You told her about your nightmares, and have also found out about Ran's dislike of her master. Yukari then gapped you over to the Palace of the Earth Spirits, where you talked a bit with Satori about Koishi your affliction, but gained little from visiting there. After getting back aboveground, you visited Kanako to find out Koishi's whereabouts, and found that she was in the supposedly non-notable eastern western forests of Gensokyo. Over there, you found a field where several fairies were gathered, presumably one of the fairy armies Reisen talked about, "preparing" to invade the SDM. Yeah, this paragraph sounds like boring monotone with all of those periods, but it's certainly better than annoying exclamation marks.
>As Eiki, you are currently pursuing some footprints, who you think are Koishi's footprints.
>As Reimu, you are currently scouting the perimeter of the field for Koishi, not knowing that Eiki seems to have found her.
>As Yuyuko, you are currently being hugged by several fairies who sympathize with you due to the whole Youmu event.

>Note: Your actual name is Eiki Shiki (western order). Yamaxanadu is just a title.
>Any inconsistencies noted by the players will be fixed by the parser. This is my interpretation of the events of Maribel Quest, and my interpretation and the actual interpretation of locations, events, etc. are not exact.

>Deschampsia Dogger: Follow those footprints.
>You follow those footprints into the forest.

>"Koishi, is that you? It is very important we talk, surely you can feel that?"
>There is no answer.

Purvis: I'm counting on us having no reason to trust it.

Anyways, the plan, short version: Shiki's going to propose a method by which the voice can proove its honesty and intentions (I seem to remember it previously stating that its intentions were benevolent, although I could be wrong). If it accepts, we'll learn one hell of a lot about what's going on, and we'll be able to know if it's lying or witholding information or anything like that. If, as I expect, it refuses, it gives Shiki ammo to use in fighting it and the doubts it's sowing in her mind. It'll come back; we need something to use against it, and this'll give us just that.

>Shiki: After thought, do ask the question of the voice.

Post by: Hello Purvis on March 25, 2011, 12:21:57 PM
It's not even a little bit in character at this point. What Shiki knows is that:
A. It is most definitely deceptive, as it has forced her from what she objectively knows to be correct; thus the claim its intentions are benevolent are suspect at best.
B. It has an influence over her that no one understands.
C. Through this agency, it has had an important effect on the cycle of life and death, which is pretty much the most important thing as far as Shiki is concerned.

Inviting it in is the very last thing Shiki is going to do at this point. It is akin to considering suicide. Benefits or not, in character she simply would not even contemplate doing it; the potential cost is far too high. She would need more information on how and why this thing is working before she would intentionally confront it in such a way.

Now...if we have a dream like Reimu's, it may well be no holds barred time to rip into it. But seeking it out intentionally is just not a thing she'd do at this point.

Post by: GuyYouMetOnline on March 25, 2011, 03:21:46 PM
Except that it's already there. She's not 'seeking it out' or 'inviting it in' or anything like that. It's there, and pretending it's not isn't going to help. That much is obvious. The thing is, right now we've got a situation Shiki doesn't know enough about. She doesn't understand what's going on. So why not force the voice into a situation she does understand? If the voice refuses to proove what it says (which, remember, is the expected outcome), that's concrete evidence of deciet. Also, remember that so far, the parser has been rejecting commands that Shiki's current self-confidence issues would interfere with. The main point of this would be to start countering that problem.

And also, remember that Shiki's assuming, and in fact counting on, the voice acting in accordance to its decietful nature. Do you really think exposing deciet, especially in a situation like this, is against Shiki's character?
Title: Re: (Shiki)Eiki Quest the 2nd - Text Adventure of Mystic Light
Post by: Hello Purvis on March 25, 2011, 07:52:40 PM
You're overlooking that Shiki has not had ever a little bit of success in trying to deal with it at all. She spent a good week before the game began tying to deal with it, with exactly no success of any kind. And yes, communicating with it would be inviting it infurther, if only due to not actively resisting it. The mechanism it has used is simply not well understood enough for her to take the risk at this pointin time, given that her confidence is pretty much completely dashed against the rocks. Your plan is theoretically sound, but it's too metagamey to try it at this point. Had Reimu remembered and been able to relay her dream, maybe, but as it stands, they only defense she has is not to listen to it.

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Blitzer has to say, then. Although I got the idea that it was only her judging that was impared. It's mentioned that she's been unable to properly judge because she doubts herself because of what the voice is doing, not that she couldn't see people's sins. That's not the problem; her doubt issues are. But yeah, we'll see what Blitzer has to say.

I figure, if we were seeing people's sins, Wolf would've been telling us about it since we've seen a lot of people with laundry lists. And he did mention we've lost power straight up in the intro.

Yeah, but that was a decline in general power level, not a loss of anyspecific ability. And we haven't been bothering to look at the sins of others.

Anyways, I'm going to bed. Regardless of how much of that Shiki can actually know, keep the lecture going, people! Shiki needs this!

Seriously, if the rest of you don't have anything to say after learning that Shiki hasn't heard the voice until today (and after I clarified my own words), then I'm going to go ahead and try talking to it the next time there's a good opportunity.

You've not really answered our points, actually. Right now, you argument is because one thing has worked, we should do the exact opposite, and hope that the effect which would logically follow doesn't follow. Moreover, you want to do it when we've just started to recover a little bit. I am trying to figure out why Shiki would acknowledge the voice at all, when she has had her first success at all against it only by ignoring it. About the only way that would make any sense would be if you could logically demonstrated that the speaker is not the cause of the whole problem.

How has ignoring it worked? Yes, we pulled off a lecture, but, well, that didn't hurt the voice any. The lecture was a victory for our self-confidence, not against the voice.

Also, given that the voice didn't speak to us until today, I actually have started to entertain the possibility that it's not behind even what we thought it was (I, personally, have always been certain that it's telling the truth about not being involved with Youmu/Sakuya/etc., but now I'm wondering how much of even the rest it's really behind). If we want to get any information at all, we need to get it talking. Even if it's lying, well, as I said, lies always hide something.

A victory of self confidence is a victory against the voice, given it's trying to undermine the basis of Shiki's existence. And, again, you would have to demonstrate logically that the voice and the dream-giver are not one and the same before Shiki would contemplate that course, in this light.

If we want to get any information at all, we need to get it talking. Even if it's lying, well, as I said, lies always hide something.

Except that getting it to talk out of exasperation at being ignored has also already worked as it consistently bemoaned being blamed for everything and made claims about its plans. There's no compelling reason to turn around on that front, either.

I'd love to know what it's up to, but things have worked out pretty well without having to resort to giving it more leverage by even appearing to cave in to its desires to change the Yama's morals and undermine the entire cycle of life and death. For that matter, insincerely bending to it for information is uncharacteristically deceptive for the judge of the dead. It's not worth the risks or harm to pretend to trust it.

Actually.

I'm not talking about lying. I'm talking about saying 'hey, if what you're doing is right, then proove it'. And yes, I know we can't trust any 'proof' it offers, but that's not the point. It's not what the voice says that I'm interested in. I want to know how it reacts. The information I'm after isn't words. I want to see its reaction.

And what of our own reactions? An interested response either means considering that it may have something noble in mind when it's both seriously fucked with the process of the afterlife and waited until after our power loss and destabilization from whatever was done with those initial dreams to actually talk about it, or feigning that to get the information of its reaction - making the distinction meaningless anyway.

And emotional responses can be picked up on from its slips of exasperation as well. For example -

>Dechampsia Dolomite: When we were kicking off that brief lecture to Reimu, (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,8137.msg588059.html#msg588059) who advised us to 'Go on' and what was their tone?

*Did not even notice that*

And you really seem to be getting the wrong idea about what I'm trying to do here. We don't have to pretend to be interested; telling it to f*** off would likely work just as well. And, yes, just waiting for it to say something would work, but getting it to say something is likely to produce results a lot sooner (not to mention the fact that we can control what we give it to respond to).

And you keep not addressing the central point. You want to reverse a policy that has demonstrably worked, and hope that it won't get us screwed over. It's clear that whatever it's doing, the dreams are not the alpha and omega of it; a being like Shiki doesn't suddenly doubt the basis of her existence that fiercely due to a couple of nightmares. And, we have demonstrated that abstaining from acknowledging the cause has worked in reversing some of the damage. You're advocating the equivalent of removing a radiation suit in the middle of a reactor meltdown. Shiki simply would not be that reckless.

Also, about the voice not being responsible for the dreams?

>The voice in your head says "It's just you and Reisen, but more are planned." (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6882.msg417927.html#msg417927)

That said -

>You're sure that was the voice. Why would your tormentor let you lecture Reimu when lectures seem to be reversing the problems it caused?

>To obtain a false sense of trust or security in order to manipulate other parts of our morality - just because it was willing to accept/support a lecture to Reimu doesn't mean its intentions are good overall.

Hey, I'm not the one who's been insisting that we can't believe everything it says. Also, I never said I think it's not responsible; I said I'm considering the possibility.

As for the examples, I already addressed the Eirin one; Eirin was investigating it, and much like it said in regards to Yukari, it probably just didn't want to give Eirin the opportunity. As as for the other, um, that's not even an example. You guys are saying that ignoring the voice has worked as a measure against what it's doing to us (the dreams, the power drain, etc.), but I can't find anything that suggests this. So that's what I want examples of.

I think it's also worth looking into how people's perceptions are being gathered. That's why we came looking for you, Suika. It seems as though perceptions are being gathered, likely from a wide total area. This is part of the compulsion process, and is no doubt important to whatever plan is ultimately in motion here. This gathering is likely an integral part of said plan, and gathering is your area of expertise. In addition, whoever's behind this is likely quite powerful, and we may be in for some challenging battles. And you, as I understand, are quite capable in combat. Given both of those facts, I would like to ask you to join us."

There's also a paragraph in the introduction that seems to refer to a "being that can transport itself anywhere at will by opening gaps and can be found in the plane of [scratched-out text]".

>Overlays can also happen naturally instead of artificially. They tend to happen randomly, and rarely. Unlike the Rathi Overlay, the scope of these kinds of overlays can encompass tiny areas to entire planes. A sign that this is happening include the appearance of mysterious gaps. These gaps usually consume all matter within a certain area and transport it somewhere else. Other signs of a natural overlay include the appearance of mysterious people and objects and strange places, like finding a gohei falling out of the sky in Zendikar. Mysterious people and objects are not by themselves a sign of an overlay, and should only be taken with the gaps as a sign.

>One of them depicts a road with a rather strange background. The sky is orange, with cyan clouds. Next to the road is some black bushes and a black tree. Other than the strange coloring, this photo seems normal.
>Another depicts a barren red landscape with a dull pinkish-brownish clear sky. Several brown creatures with eye stalks can be seen.
>Yet another one shows a mountain towering above a grassland with...improbably large tusked elephant-like creatures accompanied by several humanoids. Due to the distance, you can't see any of their features.

>Yuyuko: "Anything look familiar, Yukari?"
>"No. But of course, the gaps may just be in a different location than these scenes."

Well, Shiki obviously can't know for sure, but come on; they're clearly doing a role-play.

On the other hand, we have no assurance that we're in 'Gensokyo Prime,' so to speak - especially with this other world influencing the minds of Sakuya and Meiling, who are apparently acting as these fans expect them to without knowing why. And if we can't find a way to get to their world, then maybe we can convince them to come to us...

They never did clearly tell you why they wanted to do it, just that it was a dream of Sanae's or something. You wanted to do it because you wanted Satori to have a normal life. The Aki sisters supported the plan because they wanted to be able to feed everybody, but you hear they stopped supporting the plan after a while Gensokyo Isle was created because they felt people were becoming isolated from their food sources. It was going well, until that traitor Utsuho interfered.

Yeah, I know some of that may seem like stretching Shiki's knowledge a bit, but she knows that people in Gensokyo Isle had no memory of the real Gensokyo, and the rest follows from that. There's nothing there that Shiki would be unable to conclude.
