[Monarda]

Rikadai-chan:

>"Good to see."
>Smile.
>"Also... why is Mary here ?"

Sumidai-chan:

>Does she mean our aura ?
>"Yeah..."

Prime (Rumia):

>"How so ?"
>Tilt our head.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Alt2:
>How much was used?
>Prepare a miracle to locate Alt!Shinny.


>Check the army.

>Check on Secunde and Micheal.

>Quick assessment of faith sources.

Prime (Junk):
>Progress?

[Neovereign]

Rikadai-chan:

>"Good to see."
>Smile.
>"Also... why is Mary here ?"

> "Well I taught them all about fusion." Mary says. "See, they're my pals. You let pals in on things."
> "And Perfect Fusion." Yumemi says. "Chiyuri and I are still thinking of a name for ours..."

Sumidai-chan:

>Does she mean our aura ?
>"Yeah..."

> You believe so.

Prime (Rumia):

>"How so ?"
>Tilt our head.

> "If I can take in so much darkness, how would I be unable to take you in?" Rumia stretches.

Alt2:
>How much was used?
>Prepare a miracle to locate Alt!Shinny.

> As much as Wriggle's it seems...
> You prepare a miracle...
> Seems to take more than locating Wriggle did...

>Check the army.

>Check on Secunde and Micheal.

>Quick assessment of faith sources.

> Some of the army is awake now.

> Micheal is sle- getting up... You think.
> Secunde's not doing anything at the moment.

> Your faith is still being supplied by many.

Prime (Junk):
>Progress?

> None.

//Oh dear...

Rikadai-chan:

>"...so you just went and told all of them about fusion... did you forget what Miss Reimu asked already ? And you didn't have the right to do that either..."
>Sigh and facepalm...
>"Look, can i at least get your word that you won't attempt anything abusive with it ?"
>Reconnect to the hivemind immediately and tell Prime about this.

Prime (Rumia):

>"True... let's see if you can hold this part of me."
>Approach and fuse with her.

Prime:

>Find Miss Reimu with Omnipresence, once we find her:
>"Miss Reimu, we have a problem... Miss Mary just told everyone from the Hypervessel how to fuse..."

Sumidai-chan:

>Unfuse.
>"So... can we finally go outside as lovers now ?"

Diana 2:

>Go wide-eyed and rush to Sanae's room.
>"Sanae-chan ! We have a problem, Miss Mary just told everyone from the Hypervessel about how to fuse !"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Kinda wish you didn't disconnect so we could get Prime notified of this...

Alt2:
>Percentage?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//*facepalm* we should've saved the clone that was part of Indiana, in case we wanted to ask her to explain herself...

Prime:
>When we absorbed the memories of all the ghosts, did they sorta dissolve into our consciousness, or are they still distinct enough to separate into a clone?
>Do we have Indiana's memories? Do we know exactly why they acted that way?

[Kilgamayan]

//gj giving Mary exactly what she wants with those reactions

HamiDai (T):

> "Never mind, just forget it. I'm not gonna do anything."

[Monarda]

//gj giving Mary exactly what she wants with those reactions

//And what do you suggest ?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//?

[Monarda]

//?

Also this too.

[Kilgamayan]

//Not taking her bait, for one thing. In fact, here:

> Hold up on doing anything else related to the fact that Mary told the scientists about how fusion works (except for the reconnection).
> Instead, with approval, do this:

RikaDai:

> Blink at Mary.
> "Oh, did you? 'Kay."
> Look to Rika.
> "So what do you wanna do today?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//You do realize how serious this is, right?

[Monarda]

//Why is she baiting us to do that then ?

[Kilgamayan]

//It sucks that they were told, sure. But what can we do about that? The literal only option is to go back in time and prevent it from happening in the first place, and good fucking God am I beyond tired of time travel as a solution to everything.

//So, since there's nothing we can do about them knowing, we focus on why they were told: Because Mary's actively trying to piss us off. See below, with bold added for emphasis:

> "Well I taught them all about fusion." Mary says. "See, they're my pals. You let pals in on things."

//This is hilariously textbook high-school-level passive-aggressive. As such, it is something we can easily address, by not rising to the bait, and in fact turning it back around on her by making her realize that she's not important to us or getting under our skin.

//We can always tell Reimu about it later, but telling her about it now means there's a strong possibility we'll get blamed for it instead of Mary, which is also probably something Mary is hoping for.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Why can't they be like their alt! counterparts... At least they didn't devolve into assholes...

//I'm also curious as to why you didn't object to telling Sanny...

[Kilgamayan]

//I assumed she was in included in the "hold everything related" command? Unless you mean why I think Sanny's a non-factor, in which case it's because Reimu's the one that told us not to tell anyone how fusion works, and Mary's substantially more likely to care what Reimu thinks than what Sanny thinks.

[Monarda]

//Have we ever tried to use faith to erase memories ? That could work just in case.

//Also wouldn't holding off on telling her make it even more likely for us being blamed ?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Also wouldn't holding off on telling her make it even more likely for us being blamed ?

//^^^

[Kilgamayan]

//I don't think it would, but I suppose if you want to tell Reimu anyway, you can and it would be fine. The important thing here is rubbing Mary's nose in how inconsequential she is instead of giving her the satisfaction of knowing she got under our skin.

//How about this: Reconnect and let Reimu know, but do it calmly, and blow Mary off to her face in the meantime. (I would advise against bother Sanny with this, given what she's gone through this morning.)

[Kilgamayan]

//Here's my suggestion for making Reimu less likely to think there's an actual immediate disaster on-hand, and also less likely to think we're actively responsible for anything.

Prime (Reimu):

> "Hey, uh, Miss Reimu? Miss Mary just told me she told all of the scientists how to do fusion."
> Look mildly confused.
> "Are we allowed to tell our friends about how to fusion now? 'Cause I thought we weren't supposed to..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I'm fine with that.

//Dost thou approve, Raf?

[Monarda]

//Seems reasonable.

//And what about the memory erasing miracle ? Should we try it on the crew just for safety ?

[Kilgamayan]

//I would rather not even attempt to learn if such a thing is possible, let alone ever employ it. Even I have no interest in trying to stay upright on that slippery slope.

[Neovereign]

Sumidai-chan:

>Unfuse.
>"So... can we finally go outside as lovers now ?"

> "...Yes. If you want."

//Kinda wish you didn't disconnect so we could get Prime notified of this...

Alt2:
>Percentage?

> Less than 1%.

//*facepalm* we should've saved the clone that was part of Indiana, in case we wanted to ask her to explain herself...

Prime:
>When we absorbed the memories of all the ghosts, did they sorta dissolve into our consciousness, or are they still distinct enough to separate into a clone?
>Do we have Indiana's memories? Do we know exactly why they acted that way?

> It's like fusing with a clone of yourself. You can keep the memories seprate.
> You have the IndianaDai's memories, at least, so by extension, you do.

//gj giving Mary exactly what she wants with those reactions

HamiDai (T):

> "Never mind, just forget it. I'm not gonna do anything."

> Silence...

//Oh dear...

Rikadai-chan:

> You reconnect.

> "W-What!? You're not irked? Nothing?" Mary jumps.
> "And we had a plan and lines and EVERY-"
> "Rikak-" Yumemi pauses, sighing.
> "Guess that didn't work..." Chiyuri says.
> "Um..." Rika looks back to the others. "Wash up for the morning... I guess." Rika shrugs.

> Reimu sighs.
> "No."

[Kilgamayan]

//Heh heh heh. Oh, this is gonna be fun.

RikaDai:

> Look back to Mary with a quizzical expression.
> "Why would I get urked?"

Prime (Reimu):

> Look even more confused.
> "But she did it anyway! Why did she do it if she wasn't supposed to do it?"

[Monarda]

Rikadai-chan:

>"I mean, wouldn't the person to be upset with it be Miss Reimu ? She was the one that asked us to not tell in the first place."

//This okay ?

Sumidai-chan:

>"Well, i wanna do what you wanna do..."

[Kilgamayan]

> Don't do that juuuust yet. We'll eventually say it, yeah, but now's not the time. I know how to use it to needle her just a little bit more a little later in the conversation.

Alt2:
>Cast the locator miracle.

Manifest voices among the army that's awake.
>"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

>Check in on X and Flora.

>Check on Micheal.
>"Good morning, Mr. Micheal."

Prime (Junk):
>Progress?

[Monarda]

//...!

Carrydai-chans:

>Head to the Shrine's kitchen and look for ingredients to make an healthy light meal for those two.
>Use our maid knowledge for making it !

Alt. 2:

>"Seems like it worked again."

[Neovereign]

//Heh heh heh. Oh, this is gonna be fun.

RikaDai:

> Look back to Mary with a quizzical expression.
> "Why would I get urked?"

---

Prime (Reimu):

> Look even more confused.
> "But she did it anyway! Why did she do it if she wasn't supposed to do it?"

> "Because you're always trying to keep fusion a secret. And yet you didn't even bat an eye. Hold on..." The fusion separates, and refuses, leaving Marisa as the dominant one.

> "I don't know? Why are you asking me as if I knew what she was thinking?"

Sumidai-chan:

>"Well, i wanna do what you wanna do..."

> "Er... what I wanna do isn't always what we should do... At least, not right now..." Sumireko blushes. "I-I guess we could play a game or something... Thinking something up on the fly..."

Alt2:
>Cast the locator miracle.

> You do so and learn the location of Sukuna.

Manifest voices among the army that's awake.
>"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

>Check in on X and Flora.

> The fairies nod.

> Flora is messing with her clothes.

>Check on Micheal.
>"Good morning, Mr. Micheal."

Prime (Junk):
>Progress?

> Micheal is alright. A bit tired looking.
> "Morning." Micheal says, heading off somewhere in the shrine.

> None... You still have yet to find a single nail.

//...!

Carrydai-chans:

>Head to the Shrine's kitchen and look for ingredients to make an healthy light meal for those two.
>Use our maid knowledge for making it !

Alt. 2:

>"Seems like it worked again."

> You head to the kitchen and start deciding on something to make for them based on what's in here.

> Alt!Daiyousei nods.
