Daiko:
>"I'm not gonna go around challenging people."
Daiko:
>"Maybe decline?"
Tsuru:
>"Someone's stealing people's panties."
Daiko:
>"But I don't do those Kokoro..."
Tsuru:
>"Er, someone's stealing people's panties."
Bastet:
>Open eyes fully and look around.
Daiko:
>Sigh.
>"You want to see me beat people up?"
Daiko:
>"It hurts... ah... Kokoro, do you... know what pain is?"
Daiko:
>"Like, if you ever bump your toes on something? Or you get cut and bleed?"
Daiko:
>"So yea, fights bring that sort of pain. But not danmaku battles. They're supposed to be more beautiful and less painful."
>Then there's that black danmaku thing we still have to watch for...
Daiko:
>Nod.
>"Er, cuts and bumping your toe, right? It's like that, but that was much worse..."
Daiko:
>"But if I can prevent that for others rather than only avoid it myself, it's better."
Daiko:
>"If someone's trying to hurt someone else. I could try to stop them..."
Daiko:
>Nod and continue.
>"Those souls probably felt pain... Maybe... I'm not sure..."
Daiko:
>"The ones you erased, yes..."
Daiko:
>"Yes, but we could've just... hindered or stopped them without erasing them."
Daiko:
>"We could've ran, maybe... Or if I had time, maybe I could force them to leave."
Daiko:
>"If no one... gets too injured..."
Daiko:
>"Let's hope it doesn't have to happen..."
Daiko:
>Watch.
Daiko:
>Keep eyes out for things around.
>"Death is... a strong concept... But, they likely have, yes..."
>Vision Daiyousei.
V!Dai-Dai:
>Converse about the possibility of sharing a body the way Kiku and the others did with Daiko, and if such should ever be needed for a larger thing...
Daiko:
>"Mrr..."
Daiko:
>Well, we might figure out another time...
Daiko:
>"You alright?"
Daiko:
>"Maybe... But the ones that were attacking us were probably trying to end us..."
Daiko:
>"They attacked with the intent to end us first so, I believe it was better than them ending us. But people see things differently... We still should have tried to compromise so everyone could live."
Daiko:
>Sigh.
>"This is a bit complicated to explain... There are some people in the world, for example, that like hurting others and giving them pain. If those spirits were those kind of people, it would have been better to stop them..."
Daiko:
>"There are other reasons, yes. Ahem. Okay Kokoro, let's start this from a larger picture. So to start off, there's good and bad feelings. Pain makes most people feel bad when they experience it, right? Next, there's people who have felt bad from something in there lives. These people can try to deal with it and feel good, but sometimes, they'll just keep feeling bad. And because they feel bad, they want others to feel bad instead of feeling good. Then, there's a few reasons why they would do this exactly... Jealousy, revenge, anger... Are you still with me?"
Daiko:
>"D-Do you understand what I said?"
Daiko:
>"So, because of that, they would want others to feel bad. And hurting them is a way to do that... What we should try is help them not feel bad. If no one feels bad, no one would try to make others feel bad. Though there are cases where people that feel bad will keep to themselves about it, rather than make others feel bad too."
Daiko:
>"Not bother others with it... Like if I felt bad about something, I wouldn't want others to feel bad like those spirits probably did."
Daiko:
>"No. If I wanted to take out me feeling bad on others, like by fighting them to hurt them and make them feel bad too, then I might get slashed by you. Do you get it now?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
Daiko:
>"Because people want to feel good, not bad. You don't like it when you get hurt, right? But you like when you get to eat something good, right?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
>"And that's a good feeling. A bad feeling is if it's disgusting."
Daiko:
>"Yes, but Misty's cooking is really good."
Daiko:
>"You got it."
Daiyousei:
>Is anything wrong?
>Or is it just that these two are going on like this...
>"Hey, we should hurry on out..."
Daiyousei:
>"There's uh, different kinds of feeling good too. Like, being happy and..."
>Glance over to Daiko.
>"Just... feeling comfortable in a spot, like the sauna I guess..."
Daiko:
>"O-Oh. Yes, there's definitely not just one way for feeling good or bad..."
Daiko:
>"I'll...try to explain."
>Vision Kokoro and Daiyousei, so it's more private at least.
V!Daiko:
>"Uh, so... there was the food thing you said. Eating something good feels good... There's also your mind and body feeling good, like relaxing in the Sauna for your body and making someone else feel good for your mind. But Kokoro, there's some things you shouldn't do or be taught yet, since you don't know enough around them... One such thing is what happened at the pool. It trails off to a lot of different stuff though, so we won't talk about it if you don't want to overflow trying to understand..."
Daiko:
>"Uh, sorry for a bit..."
>Just make the vision exclude Daiyousei.
V!Daiko:
>"It's... Oh geez... Okay, I'll explain..."
>Imagine a board with what we describe showing up.
>"Okay, you know good and bad feelings now. What happened at the pool was a lot of good feelings. It made us feel good."
>Begin explaining as well as we can with Kokoro about the things that happened and what they mean in regards to good and bad feelings...
Tsuru:
>"I'd love if this were a joke, but we're completely serious."
Bastet:
>On, or in?
>Stand up.
>"Hi."
// Honestly she'd probably just think that was part of the "prank".
Bastet:
>Purr.
>"You too!"
Bastet:
>"Oh, hi!"
Bastet:
>"Probably because I don't usually fall asleep as a cat."
Bastet:
>Appreciate.
Bastet:
>"Sure."
Bastet:
>Purr!
Bastet:
>Listen.
Bastet:
>Keep on listening.
Daiyousei:
>Try to feel for spirits.
Daiyousei:
>Tug on the two.
>"Hey, there's something here..."
Daiko:
>Look around.
>Feel for souls.
Daiyousei:
>"There was something..."
Daiyousei:
>Try to warp the thing we saw out into the open.
Daiyousei:
>To the exit, or deeper underground?
Daiyousei:
>"I think we should follow it..."
Daiko:
>"...I guess we aren't in a hurry."
Daiyousei:
> "I don't think so."
Daiyousei:
>"S-So don't just erase them."
>Start off to follow them.
Daiko:
>Well, keep up.
Daiyousei:
>The other thing. Call them over to follow too.
Daiyousei:
>"Cirno?"
Daiko:
>Start absorbing the feeling into our horn. Or at least, attempt to.
Bastet:
>Laze contently.
Tsuru:
>"Meiling's had hers stolen too!"
Daiko:
>"It's someone else... Hey, come out, whoever you are."
Daiko:
>"We should get ready for something..."
Daiyousei:
>"That's... But it's not Cirno?"
Daiko:
>"Huh? Another ice fairy then?"
Daiyousei:
>"Hello?
Daiyousei:
>"H-Hello?"
>Height? Other features?
Daiyousei:
>"Daiyousei."
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
>"This guy is Daiko and the girl is Kokoro. Who are you?"
Daiyousei:
>"How long have you been down here?"
Daiyousei:
>"Er... Do you want to travel with us?"
Daiko:
>"You're freezing a bit too much of your surroundings. Can you control that?"
Daiko:
>Try to pull in the freezing your doing. Pull it in back to yourself."
Daiko:
>"Not like that... Hm... How are you spreading cold out first?"
Bastet:
>Keep on going.
Tsuru:
>"Everybody!"
>Status of others (Not Daiko, Daiyousei, Bastet, or Tsuru).
Daiko:
>"Try to force yourself to be less of you then?"
Daiko:
> "Do you think you can figure out another way to stop from freezing everything around?"
Daiko:
>"Hm... What about still being all of you, but being closer to you than further away?"
Daiko:
>"Think of the ice and cold being you, but far away. Can you make yourself closer to you then?"
Daiko:
>Try to absorb more of the ice energy around.
>"Do you notice that, at least?"
Daiko:
>Continue.
>"What's it like?"
Daiko:
>"Is that good or bad?"
Daiko:
>"Then the cold should stay with you, not out there, right?"
Daiko:
>"Try to call the cold back to you?"
Daiko:
> "That's it! Keep doing that, until you don't feel like it will be okay to anymore or you can't."
Daiko:
>"You shouldn't be making people around you freeze now like this. So it should be fine to come with us. Though you don't have to. But you're similar to someone we know."
Daiko:
>"Alright. You can come with us then."
Daiko:
>Start back for the exit with new member to the group.
Bastet:
>Lazing away...
Tsuru:
>"Are you sure about that?"
Bastet:
>Purr.
Tsuru:
>"But if you don't, you'll never prove that you are as attentive as you say you are."
Daiko:
>"A more brighter, open place. With more people around."
Daiyousei:
>"Like a bunch of other fairies."
Bastet:
>More lazing!
Tsuru:
>Mental facepalm about affirming the consequent.
>"But you'll never be truly sure until you check."
Daiyousei:
>"Mhm."
>Point to our wings.
>"People that look kind of like me."
Bastet:
>Lazy lazy lazy.
Tsuru:
>Can we do wind magic?
Daiyousei:
>"You seem like a fairy too. A fairy I know, even."
Daiyousei:
>"You seem like one."
Daiko:
>Wonder if this isn't relevant to the freezing fairy world...
Daiyousei:
>"Can you fly?"
>Start flying.
Daiyousei:
>"That's great."
>Smile.
Daiyousei:>We're gonna make this our ideal Cirno...
>"Can you do any magic or danmaku?"
Daiyousei:
>"Magic is something that a lot of people have. It can do things like make you fly or let you freeze things. Your magic might be ice magic that lets you freeze things."
Daiko:
>Create an icicle.
>"Try to do this. Make ice with your magic."
Daiko:
>How do we use magic? Is it like, as simple as moving an arm? Or more complicated?
Daiko:
>"Okay, you know how you made the cold go closer to you? Try to make it go away from you, but from your hands. Like this."
Daiko:
>"You're sort of doing it. It's getting colder this way. Try to make that cold into something like this though."
>Another icicle.
Daiko:
>"Wait a second, I think you should stop."
Daiko:
>"You were really gonna freeze me there. But yea, that's magic..."
Daiko:
> "It's fine. I'm pretty resistant to cold anyways."
Bastet:
>Relax.
Tsuru:
>Create a light breeze around the area.
Daiko:
>Nod.
>Consider something important. Since we absorbed that spirit thing and it's excited energy, wonder if we could absorb other emotions/feelings and help Kokoro understand them better...
Bastet:
>Chillin'.
Tsuru:
>Waitin'.
Daiko:
>"I can make a bit of cold myself."
Daiko:
>"Thanks."
Daiyousei:
>Warp a distance ahead.
Daiyousei:
>"I can move like this. And move other things like it too."
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
>"It's my magic. Do you think you can do that?"
Daiyousei:
>"Try. Maybe you have more magic than ice magic."
Daiyousei:
>How do we? Do we think about being at another spot or something?
Daiyousei:
>"I think about being at another spot. Then my magic lets me."
Daiko:
>Experimentally try such. Worse case nothing happens...
Daiyousei:
>"Maybe. If you can't, then that just means you don't have that magic. You still have your ice though."
Daiyousei:
>Watch.
Daiyousei + Daiko:
>"HUH!?"
Daiko:
>"S-She could actually do it!?"
Daiyousei:
>"Y-Yea... That was it..."
Daiko:
>"Can you do fire magic too?"
Daiyousei:
>"Try it."
Daiyousei:
>"Hm... I wonder what magic you can do..."
Daiko:
>"What if it's the magic of people you've seen?"
Daiyousei:
>"Have you ever seen a fairy with ice wings before?"
Daiyousei:
>"Hm..."
Daiyousei:
>"Yes. She's one of my friends. She has ice magic like you."
Daiko:
>Fly behind the group a bit. We should all be flying high here Or at least not low on the ground.
>Try to peek and understand the full outfit the new fairy is wearing.
Daiko:
>Then do so when Daiyousei's attention is elsewhere.
Daiyousei:
>"She can make things out of ice. And I can do things like move warp other things. And people too."
>Demonstrate by warping Kokoro ahead of the group safely, as we did ourself.
Daiko:
>Float back up.
Daiyousei:
>"Did that feel like anything weird, Kokoro?"
>Have we warped a person before?
Daiyousei:
>"Sorry."
>"But you should be able to do that too, miss... miss fairy."
Daiko:
>"You can't just go around having no name..."
>Return to Kokoro's side.
Daiyousei:
>"We'll give you one then. We could say a name, and you tell us if you like it or not."
Daiyousei:
> "Mm... Dawn?"
Daiko:
> "Christine? It's close to crystal."
Daiko:
> "Christine Dawn then?"
Daiyousei:
>"You could have one as a name and the other as a nickname. Or one as your first and the other as your last."
Daiko:
>"People can call you either one."
Daiyousei:
>"Well, Christine could be because you have crystal like wings. But dawn is like almost nighttime... Kokoro, which do you think she should pick?"
Daiyousei:
>"That's fine."
Daiyousei:
>"That sounds good."
Daiyousei:
>"Are you gonna try and warp something? Like a rock? Like how I did for Kokoro."
Daiyousei:
>Watch her.
Bastet:
>Sigh.
>"Alriiight."
>Jump out of Doremy's arms.
Tsuru:
>Make it slightly stronger.
Daiyousei:
>"That was good."
Daiyousei:
> What happens if we try to warp or warp something into something else?
Daiyousei:
> "Just don't try to make it go somewhere where something else already is..."
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
Daiyousei:
>"Bad things happen."
Daiyousei:
>"Good."
Daiyousei:
>"What about... Daiko or Kokoro's abilities?"
Daiyousei:
>"What can you do Kokoro?"
Daiyousei:
>"Do you think you can do something like that?"
Daiyousei:
> "That show your emotions, yea."
Daiyousei:
> "I guess. What else, Kokoro?"
Daiyousei:
> "What about the blade you made appear before?"
Daiyousei:
> "Oh..."
Daiyousei:
> "She's strong. And knows a lot to do with ice magic."
Daiyousei:
>"Hopefully we'll run into her then."
Daiyousei:
>Continue.
Daiko:
> "Here's the surface."
Daiko:
>Nod.
>Has she been controlling the ice and cold well?
Daiko:
>"Oh, she should see the festival. There's gonna be a bunch of beautiful things like here."
Daiko:
>"It's like a celebration."
Daiko:
>"At this village, where humans live."
Daiyousei:
>"Which part are you confused on? Humans or village?"
Daiko:
>"We'll be your guides for everything then."
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
Daiyousei:
> "Well, Cirno didn't follow us to there... And Daiko went for Oni stuff, right?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
Daiyousei:
> "Then..."
Daiko:
> "Hm."
>Quests.
Daiko:
> "She doesn't know any danmaku yet..."
Daiko:
>"We can teach her though."
Daiyousei:
> "Danmaku's easy to do."
Daiyousei:
>"Uh? I guess... she's busy?"
Both:
>Look to the voice
>Kira?
Daiko:
> "T-The hell? The hell did you do to Kokoro!?"
Daiko:
>"Was that you before too?"
Daiko:
>"Why are you messing with her? You have your own business to do. This doesn't involve you."
Daiko:
> "What's wrong with you!? What happened to you that makes you want to make others feel bad!?"
Daiko:
> "You weren't! You can't just throw someone into something like that! I'm trying hard to help people, but it just keeps getting screwed up... I keep screwing it up... Never mind never mind never mind. You can go help her. You have the abilities to. I'm just making things worse."
Daiyousei:
> "I... I don't really know what's happening, but I could-"
Daiko:
> "Just make her happy again... You said you boosted one of her emotions. And I'm sure Daiyousei could probably do something too. But I can't."
>Start for the village.
Daiyousei:
> "I don't know. Something with Kokoro? What's happening Kira?"
Daiko:
>Keep a lookout for our photo as we head home.
Daiko:
>Drift/veer away. There's more ways than one to get home...
Daiyousei:
>"Mature? Uh... But what's she mad about? Or whatever she's about?"
Daiyousei:
>Start flying after Kokoro
>"How do we fix that Kira? I don't really know much about not acting how you want to. And not liking that."
Bastet:
>"Help! It's too comfy!"
Tsuru:
>Sigh.
Bastet:
>Sadness.
Tsuru:
>Nod.
>Stop if we haven't already.
Bastet:
>"Yaaaaaaay!"
Tsuru:
>Make sure Remilia's out of hearing range.
>"She didn't seem to be convinced by my argument, so I figured I'd try to make her feel the lack of... y'know."
>"Not sure if the wind was strong enough, though."
Daiyousei:
>"We can't just go and not have anything to try..."
Daiyousei:
> "I don't... I think."
Daiyousei:
>Nod and intercept Kokoro.
Daiyousei:
> "K-Kokoro?"
Daiyousei:
>Follow.
>"Kokoro..."
Daiyousei:
> "Uh... Don't... Don't be sad. Or mad Kokoro."
Daiyousei:
> "Better at-... Y-You mean better at that stuff?"
Daiyousei:
>"I'll... I'll help."
Daiyousei:
>Noddu noddu.
Daiko:
>Stop.
>"Nue? How do you know where I live?"
Daiyousei:
>"Where can we start?"
Daiko:
>Blink.
Daiyousei:
>"I think he went another way... to the village."
Daiko:
>"No. I guess not."
Daiyousei:
>"He... He said he wanted us to help make you happy. Because he couldn't, and he was just making things worse..."
Daiko:
>"Feat? What did you hear?"
Daiyousei:
> "He was saying that..."
Daiko:
>"Yes, that did happen..."
Daiyousei:
>"Something happened with Daiko and Kokoro. I think Daiko doesn't believe he can make her happy or help her or something, and that he was just making things worse."
Daiko:
> "Would you rather have heard about how a giant icicle destroyed some people's homes in the village?"
Daiyousei:
>"Wait, he gave up teaching you? Really? He doesn't think he's that bad does he?"
Daiko:
>"Yea. Have you, by any chance, seen a photo lying around anywhere?"
Daiyousei:
>"S-So you're both upset because you sort of made each other upset? I think?"
Daiko:
>"Y-Yea. That's it!"
Daiyousei:
>"Then... To fix it, we tell Daiko that he didn't make you upset? I think?"
Daiko:
>"Thanks... Thanks a lot..."
>Carefully store it.
Daiyousei:
>"Then we show that he didn't?"
>Where is Kirara?
Daiko:
>"Why not?"
Daiyousei:
>"I just saw him going towards the village..."
Daiko:
>Inventory.
Bastet:
>Get comfy.
Tsuru:
>"Yeah..."
Daiko:
>What did Sakura say it was for again? What occasion?
>Where was Sakura last?
>"Were you just here to tell me about the news you heard, or were you looking for Sakura, something like that?"
Daiyousei:
>"We'll go there then."
Bastet:
>"What about it specifically?"
Tsuru:
>"Well, if she did, I sure couldn't tell."
>What's everybody up to?
Daiko:
>We should still give the letter, even if they're already back with each other.
>"Well... see you then. Unless you'll just be standing by my house like this. I'll probably be coming back to actually go in... Or maybe something else will come up again."
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
Kiku:
>"Uh, hey? Are you all going to do this all day?"
Bastet:
>Shrug.
Tsuru:
>"Probably she wanted to keep her air of calm composure."
Nijisa:
>What were we doing? The bag of cards, right?
Niji/Arisa:
>What are we doing?
Daiko:
>"I've been hanging on to this letter that someone meant for someone else to get. But they already came back to each other. I'm not sure if I should just deliver it anyways."
Daiyousei:
>"Oh, right! Mystia, this is Christine Dawn. She's someone we met in the underground just a bit ago. We were gonna teach her how to do Danmaku in a bit."
>"Christine, this is Mystia. She's a friend that knows how to make really good food."
Kiku:
>"H-Hey. ...Excuse me!"
Daiko:
>"Guess I'll deliver it when I run into them."
>Head in.
Daiyousei:
>Smile.
Kiku:
>"You all can't argue all the time... you should get along."
Daiko:
>"What? You want to come in? I thought you were just wondering?"
Kiku:
>"Why not tell each other what's good about them instead?"
Bastet:
>Watch and wait.
Tsuru:
>"I dunno."
Nijisa:
>Look around. Anything interesting?
Niji:
>Where's Yuudachi?
Daiko:
> "Well I'm not feeling that great..."
> Hold the door for her.
Daiko:
>Head in.
Daiko:
>Sit on the couch.
>"Sorry for sticking you with Sakura before Rachel. But has she been nice?"
Daiko:
>"She was stuck in the snow outside for a bit. Some snowball incident..."
Daiko:
>"Hmm?"
Daiko:
>Let them talk.
Daiko:
>"Are you gonna 'really' explain who you are, Rachel? Actually, Nue likes to be mysterious apparently, so you don't have to."
Daiko:
>Shrug a bit.
Daiko:
>"Yea, it might just be nothing, Nue."
>Are we hungry?
Daiyousei:
>Where are we?
Daiko:
>"Then it might be something."
>Shrug and get up for the kitchen. We can at least cook something light.
>How much supplies do we have for cooking? Could we make some for others?
Daiko:
>"Does anyone want anything? Like, food-wise?"
Daiko:
>"Any preference?"
Daiko:
>Then just get to preparing something...
Daiyousei:
>"So... Should we just knock? What if he doesn't answer? Or isn't there?"
Daiyousei:
>"I think we should knock..."
Daiyousei:
>"O-Okay..."
>Land.
Daiko:
>"Visits?"
>How far are we into cooking? If we haven't started or can take a moment away, head for the door.
>>Otherwise, if interruption would be bad: "Who is it?"
Daiko:
>"Mystia?"
>Open the door.
Daiko:
>"Uh. Y-Yea..."
>Hold the door open for them, then close it.
>"I'm about to cook a bit, if any of you want some..."
Daiyousei:
>If we want to, say so.
>Also suggest Christine eat something.
Daiko:
>"Then..."
>Sigh.
>"I can probably estimate for what then..."
Daiko:
>"What... exactly, do you think it's about though, Mysti?"
Daiko:
>"Well I... I was trying to help. But I was just causing problems. Recently was at least the second time I made her upset. And that just feels horrible. Since she wasn't upset before we were close I thought it would've been better to go back. I'm not the only one that can make her happy or teach her..."
Daiko:
>"What do you mean? You were both of those times. And wanted to be away from me."
Daiko:
>"It was still me that made you act like that..."
Daiko:
>"If I didn't do anything, you wouldn't have been upset at all."
Daiko:
>"You still want me to try to teach you?"
Daiko:
>"I can try..."
Daiko:
>"I do, because I want you to learn well so you can stay safer and enjoy more things. But I'm not the only one that could teach..."
Daiko:
>"Do you think it'd be better than someone else?"
Daiko:
>"Okay... Sorry..."
Daiko:
>"I'm sorry about all of that..."
Daiko:
>"I'm sorry for the thing that made you upset too, Mysti."
>_
Daiko:
>"You're gonna stay right? At least to eat?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
>Get back to cooking, but for more.
>Serve when finished.
Daiko:
>"Huh?"
Daiko:
>"Hm..."
Daiko:
>"Y-Yea..."
Daiko:
>"Well I don't hate it, at least..."
Daiko:
>Continue as we listen.
Daiyousei:
>If we haven't, have Christine sit down somewhere with us.
Daiko:
>Chuckle just a bit.
Daiko:
>"Well she does care for you too Kogasa. Remember how she was worried back then?"
Daiko:
>"Well, that's good, isn't it Kogasa?"
Daiyousei:
>"Being in love. You... know things like emotions, right?"
Daiko:
>"Cute."
>Continue.
Daiko:
>"Well since you asked Kogasa, is there anyone you like, Nue?"
Daiyousei:
>"You don't think so? Is it someone you aren't sure about then?""
Daiyousei:
>"Aw. Hey, why were you here at Daiko's house anyways?"
Daiko:
>"She was apparently wondering something, or something."
Daiko:
>"So what were you wondering, anyways?"
Daiko:
>"Come on Nue... You're always being mysterious..."
Daiko:
>"As much as I want to know, I'm not selling Rachel out like that. She'll tell you if she wants to or not if she doesn't... But you know, I did help you out a lot, Rachel... You sort of owe a lot to me..."
>Futuresight Kokoro for a moment.
>We could combine energies in our horn before, right? I'm pretty sure we did so for a few things when the horn was smaller than this.
>How large is our horn now? Have we grown any taller overall since Yuugi's battle too?
>Note to ask Aya about our problem with Agility.
>Also as we're cooking, note how Kira's warning about us learning more spirit stuff didn't end in him doing anything the most recent time we met, and actually trying to help us even.
Kiku:
>Do we know where Elly is?
>Resume going to her if we do.
Bastet:
>Admire the scenery.
Tsuru:
>"Probably better to find the culprit."
Nijisa:
>Do we recognize any of the mushrooms?
Niji:
>Pet Yuudachi.
Daiko:
>Cease, but continue cooking/preparing.
>"Hey, I sorta saved your life. More than that, even. Then there was your condition now that I helped. You want to return now, in fact?"
Daiko:
>"Just asking. So you're used to how you are now?"
Bastet:
>Laze.
Tsuru:
>"Who should we look for, though?"
>Do we see Kiku?
>>Wave if so.
Nijisa:
>Probably better to avoid those things for now, then.
>Go look at some of the junk lying around.
Niji:
>Yaaaaaaay!
>More petting.
Arisa:
>Look at a random book on a shelf. What's the title?
Daiko:
>"You sure you don't want to tell, Rachel? I'm sure everyone would be interested to hear it..."
Daiko:
>"What if they found out from someone that's not you? That'd make it worse, no? Oh well, secrets best kept secret, I guess."
>Who do we know, knows about Rafael being him and not Rachel before? Sakura, Daiyousei, Kira?
Daiko:
>Oh well. Continue.
Daiko:
>Continue until conversation or something interesting happens...
Daiko:
>"Hm?"
Daiko:
>"It's a sort of complicated situation."
Daiko:
>continue.
Tsuru:
>"We should probably think about those who can actually do it to start."
Kiku:
>Return wave.
>Watch the tiles.
Nijisa:
>What are the titles of the books?
Niji:
>Return hug, lightly.
Arisa:
>Look at another one.
Daiko:
>"She was originally a guy. Because of some things that happened and he wanted to changed, I tried to see if I could, and well..."
Tsuru:
>"No, more like who could actually pull this off without anyone noticing."
Kiku:
>Continue watching.
Nijisa:
>Huh.
>Take a look through it.
Arisa:
>Drat.
>Keep on looking at random books until we find one that's readable.
Daiko:
>"It's just like if you lived your entire life short, but wanted to be tall for a change..."
>Continue cooking.
Daiko:
>"You think it's better than being a guy, now that you've experienced it?"
Daiko:
>Shrug.
>"But I wasn't the one to tell you Nue. So I guess I don't get my explanation."
Daiko:
>"Of course I do."
Daiko:
>"A woman? Uh, what about that?"
Daiko:
>"Uh... Black hair? White flower Kimono?"
Daiko:
>"That's Miss Niko. She was at the temple today and helped patch me up after that icicle thing... That's why I was in there and had to-... yea..."
Daiko:
>"So what does she have to do with you waiting here?"
Daiko:
>"...Then what?"
Daiko:
>"Huh... So she just watched this house... Maybe there was something she was... noticing or something. I could try to contact her through vision..."
Daiko:
>Take a breath as we cook...
>Try to vision Niko.
Daiko:
>"It didn't work. Like, at all. Not like how you can block me. Just, failed."
Daiko:
>"She's someone that helped me recover from something that injured my shoulder at the temple."
Daiko:
>"Well despite what was the smarter choice, I ended up getting in a fight underground... But I'm fully okay now, yea."
Daiyousei:
>"He fought Yuugi in a brawl..."
Daiko:
>"No one. Since I'm part Oni, I wanted to try and develop that some. And Yuugi said the best way was to brawl like one."
Daiko:
>"I have a few talents along with being a few species. Like cooking well, as you'll soon find out."
Daiko:
>"It'll be done in a moment, so you can taste for yourself."
Daiko:
>Continue the cooking then.
Daiko:
>Serve.
Daiko:
>"So?"
Daiko:
>Look to Nue expectantly.
Daiko:
>"Hmph."
>Smile and fill with pride.
Daiko:
>"Too late for that~"
Daiko:
>Was it there before?
>Take it and examine.
Daiko:
>"...It's a book. That book, by Leiko..."
Daiyousei:
>"I'll put it back where it should be. Or was someone still reading it?"
Daiko:
>"I'll do it. Just don't steal my food."
>Get up with the book.
Daiko:
>Head for the library with the book.
>Put it back, then return unless something of interest happens.
Daiko:
>Are we still there?
>If so... Keep the book with us. Store it if our inventory is large enough that it's not evident and obvious.
>Pet Fou a bit.
Daiko:
>Darnit. It might have been good for teaching...
>Heck, go and retrieve it. We can hold it in our lap as we eat.
>Check if Fou follows us or not.
Daiko:
>"Have you been bored over here Fou?"
>Start back.
Daiko:
>"Hungry, perhaps?"
>Do we know what Fou's fine with eating?
Daiko:
>Vision Sakura. Or use the Festival one if that's still up...
V!Daiko:
>"Hey um, how do I take care of Fou? Like, what does he eat?"
V!Daiko:
>"So he can eat what I cook... right? What does he like to do, as well?"
Daiko:
>Kneel for a moment.
>"You wanna ride on my shoulder or anything?"
Daiko:
>"Oh, but I'll be going to eat in a moment. There's a few people there, if you don't want to be there will all of them."
V!Daiko:
>"How do you understand him?"
Daiko:
>"I guess since you're not getting off, you're fine with it."
>Pet.
V!Daiko:
>"Where did you get him and all?
Daiko:
>Continue back to the group.
>When we return: "I'll find the place for it later. There's too much to go by and food would get cold by then."
>Sit back down, set the book in our lap (closed), then eat.
>Where is everyone sitting relative to each other?
Tsuru/Kiku:
>Watch.
Nijisa:
>Interesting.
>Flip to a random page and read it.
Tsuru:
>Watch.
Kiku:
>Watch, but get ready to intervene.
Nijisa:
>Huh.
>What does it say about them?
Daiko:
>"Yea?"
Daiko:
>"This is just Fou. Sakura's mascot, of sorts."
Daiko:
>"Then that makes three of us over here."
>Blink.
>"T-The strange part of course."
>Though that isn't a lie...
Daiko:
>"It's... Sakura's Mascot... of sorts."
>Eat some.
Daiko:
>"Hey, enjoy your food."
V!Daiko:
>"Sakura, just what is Fou? Aside from your mascot?"
Daiko:
>"A well mannered and intelligent creature. Why not try to ask him yourself?"
Daiko:
>"He. Not it. You don't call me an it and I don't call you it. He can understand us. I don't really know to what extent though... Fou, if you understood all of that, could you nod, or something?"
Daiko:
>Shrug and resume eating.
Daiko:
>"Mm. Sorry. Feel free to have any if you want Fou."
Daiko:
>"Hm?"
>Take the book in hand and follow.
Daiko:
>"I'll uh... get that up when we're all done. But that's very impressive Fou."
Daiko:
>Replace what was moved to proper locations, then resume our food as well.
>"Him, not it."
Daiko:
>We should have the book in our lap, not aside. Aside is too risky/careless.
Daiko:
>"About what?"
Daiko:
>Hold it tightly as we eat.
>"A mystery. Just like you. Well not just like you. It's... something, when you find out about it..."
Daiko:
>Finish the bite we were on.
>"A book. Not gonna do another information trade?"
Daiko:
>Glance at the book.
>"Some honesty, instead of infinite mystery and 'maybes'. I know that vision thing would've been a trap, for example..."
Daiko:
>"Of course. You probably knew yourself that I wasn't going to fall for it."
Daiko:
>"It was tempting, at least... Is that a deal on the honesty thing though?"
>Eat some more.
Daiko:
>Shrug.
>"The vision thing I can do, Rachel."
>Keep the book with us.
>Take our empty plate to where it should go.
Daiko:
>"Hm?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
>"It's just the kitchen. It's fine. You have been to the other places too."
>Take the plates if no one objects and decides to do so themselves.
Daiko:
>Notice we have nowhere to set the book while we clean the dishes...
>...Try to absorb the book into our horn? Or hide it's appearance, as Sakura had done before.
Everyone:
>Quests
>Add Daiko/Daiyousei Quest = The Tale of Christine Dawn: After Daiko's brawl in the underground with Kokoro and Daiyousei, they came across a fairy with similar powers to Daiyousei and Cirno, as well as a familiar look like Cirno's... She hardly seems to know much at all, so the two Dais have considered teaching her what they can, as well as possibly introducing her to Cirno.
Daiko:
>Add Quest = The Smartest Teacher: As it stands, Kokoro doesn't have the best grasp on many concepts of life, "erasing" spirits without remorse and flat out asking people for their underwear color. In order to fix these sort of things and give Kokoro a broader things to enjoy and ways to stay safe, Daiko has taken up teaching her all he can.
>Add Quest = Explore the world!: Being cooped up in his room has been a poor decision by Daiko. With everyone else exploring out, he shouldn't limit himself to his known areas either.
>Add Quest = Big Dreams with Mystia Lorelei: Daiko has given consideration with Mystia that they work together with her food stand. And although this has begun to be accomplished, he has discussed bigger ideas with her. A full blown restaurant has become the subject, but how could this be pulled off?
>Add Quest = Leiko "Lucy" Kochiya and her Book of Legends: Daiko (and Kiku and Koa) have read from a... devastatingly informative book, the author of such being the mysterious Leiko "Lucy" Kochiya. According to Sanae, she is related, but he hasn't gathered more information than that.
>Add Quest = Mysterious Beauty; Niko: A beautiful woman that had aided Daiko before has been brought up again. Nue reports that she saw her just standing unflinchingly and staring at Daiko's home. It may be worth looking into some time...
> Find Suika for more Oni teachings in the Quest: Well excuse me! I am an amateur!
Everyone:
>Inventory
Daiko:
>"I'll be a bit. Cleaning up."
>If there's still food, put it away.
>Well, just set the book down somewhere close, in sight, where it won't get wet...
>Start cleaning the dishes.
Daiyousei:
>How was the food?
>"Was it good, Christine?"
Bastet:
>What's it look like?
Kiku:
>And that's why we were ready to intervene.
>"Hey! Stop talking!"
Nijisa:
>Huh.
>Flip through the book. Who else is in here?
Daiyousei:
>"That's good."
Daiko:
>Continue.
Daiko:
>"Hm."
>Finish up.
Daiko:
>Grab the book.
>"Going back Fou?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
Daiko:
>"Somewhere in there, I believe."
V!Daiko:
>"Forgot to mention this, but there's a few guests here... Should we still keep the basement thing secret?"
Daiko:
>"Mm... A bit of stuff. Would you like a tour?"
>Look to the others in the house as well for their answers.
Daiko:
>"Well then."
>If everything's fine up here.
>"Let's go."
>Lead the group to the rest of the house.
Daiko:
>Chuckle a bit.
>"So the basement has a bit of stuff. By a bit, I mean... Well, this book I've been carrying is from the grand library in here, for one."
>Start leading towards it.
Bastet:
>Shiny...
>Help the search for the person.
Kiku:
>"Can't you see you're stressing Elly out?"
Nijisa:
>What's it say about her?
Daiko:
>Shrug.
>"Do you think it is already? I've only shown a few rooms..."
Daiko:
>"Then it sort of is a mansion..."
Daiko:
>"That's uh, sort of a question for Sakura..."
Daiko:
>"It's fine."
Daiko:
>"Here it is."
Daiko:
>"I haven't really explored most of it yet, so I'm not sure."
Daiko:
>"You don't see how large this is? I'm just one guy. And I'm not just gonna peek at a book and leave it like that. I'd read through each one..."
Daiko:
>"Hmph... I'll show other places then."
Daiko:
>What other places do we know of in here?
>Lead the group to the sauna.
Daiko:
>"It's a sauna. Like, a room for relaxing by using heat and steam."
Daiko:
>Nod.
Daiko:
>Explain it to her.
Daiko:
>"Well, if you all want too... I'd set it up and wait outside, since well, I'm a guy."
>"There's a pool in that room too, but I'm sure there's even more rooms I haven't explored yet..."
Bastet:
>"Uh oh..."
Kiku:
>"But you should be calmer. You almost gave Elly a panic attack!"
Nijisa:
>Set the book down.
>"What?"
Daiko:
>Show them it.
Bastet:
>Look around more.
Kiku:
>Look to Elly.
Nijisa:
>Look over.
Daiko:
>Shrug.
>"These are the few rooms I do know we have, as well as more bedrooms..."
Daiko:
>"You wanna stop the tour for that already?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
>Bring the group to a door for a room we haven't identified yet.
Bastet:
>"I don't see anyone else..."
Kiku:
>"Are you going to be alright, Elly?"
Nijisa:
>Wait for her to come down then.
Daiko:
>"Dunno."
>Open it.
Daiko:
>"Hm."
>Nod and close the door gently. We can go here when they're busy with the Sauna, at least...
>Show another.
Daiko:
>"One sec."
>Venture downwards.
Daiko:
>Feel for a light switch or something...
>If we can't find any..
>"Does anyone have anything that projects light? Like, magic?"
Daiko:
>Head back up and absorb some light from a few into our horn.
>Then return down.
Daiko:
>Use some of the light in our horn.
Daiko:
>Attempt to use it.
Daiko:
>Explore around... Try to guide the ball mentally and physically.
Daiko:
>Head back up and reabsorb the ball.
>"That was... even more to the house. I feel like this place has more and more levels..."
>Lead the group to another door.
Bastet:
>"Well, there's still that other person, right?"
Kiku:
>Nod.
Nijisa:
>"Jeez! Where'd you get that!?"
Daiko:
>Shrug.
>Head into the next door.
Daiko:
>"Huh..."
>Head for and into the next.
Bastet:
>...
>Small sigh.
>"Is there any way we can determine that she is here other than looking?"
Kiku:
>Wait until she's calmed down fully.
Nijisa:
>Try to lift it.
>"From who!?"
Daiko:
>"Uh... A-A massage room? This place..."
Daiko:
>"Definitely. Should we still continue, or would you like to try out one of the rooms now?"
Daiko:
>"Well do you expect to see something better than the pool, sauna, or massage room?"
Daiko:
>"At this point, I don't even know how many rooms this place has. That dark place led to even more places... I'd rather start finding that out while you all enjoy your time. Make use of things, right?"
Bastet:
>Hmmm.
>Is there something someone could hide behind around?
Kiku:
>What are the tiles doing?
Nijisa:
>"Why?"
Daiko:
>"I guess. Unless any of you would rather walk around and poke into room instead of actually staying in one..."
Daiko:
>"If you want. I might play with Fou a bit while the others are busy, then explore. Unless he's asleep or something."
Niji:
>Check in.
Niji Blue:
>How is Clowny?
Daiko:
>Check one more room out.
Daiko:
>"I bet there's a music room... maybe even a stage too... Oh, I hope I can find a large kitchen of sorts too."
>Start back for the sauna.
>"But that's make having two separate, far places for ingredients weird..."
Niji:
>Eavesdrop.
Daiko:
>Shrug and continue.
>Absorb some sources of heat along the way.
Daiko:
>Head in.
>"Anyone have any sources of heat?"
Daiko:
>Nod.
Daiko:
>"Hm..."
>Anything in here we can use to turn on the sauna?
Daiko:
>Push.
Daiko:
>Look around the room. There were rooms for changing, right? Or was that for the pool?
>If there were, gesture to them.
>>If not. "Just in here, I suppose..."
>"I'll be getting out now."
>Vision Kokoro.
>"Sorry again about that ordeal... Since we'll probably be far from here, can you tell me when everyone's finished and dressed?"
Bastet:
>"Well, if she's not here I don't know where she would be."
Nijisa:
>"B-But how!?"
Daiko:
>"So, let's get going?"
Daiko:
>Head out and to a room we haven't checked yet.
Daiko:
>"Ooh, locked ones..."
>Next door.
Daiko:
>"Huh?"
>Check a few of the baggages. Don't look into them if it's invasive (Like tearing it or opening it if it's tied, but not if it's just sitting open already.)
Daiko:
>Close them and return out.
>Another room. We can probably ask Sakura a bit about something near this later...
>How does Mystia look?
>"You didn't want to stay with the others?"
Daiko:
>"To the sauna though? That's fantastic. And Kokoro says I'm boring, which is usually right."
>Next room?
Daiko:
>Nod and head to the next...
Daiko:
>Start for the next.
>"I hope there's more like the pool and sauna. By the way, you still skipped out on the pool..."
Daiko:
>"Hmph."
Daiko:
>"I guess it's fine. You had to go. And it's not like we were all prepared. Was I uh, interrupting whatever you were doing before?"
>Are we out of rooms? If not, head to the next.
V!Kokoro-Daiko:
>"Emotions and feelings... I'll try not to sidetrack too much so it doesn't end up like that again, Kokoro... There's good and bad, or just positive and negative. Positives usually come from good feelings and make you feel good in return, while negatives from bad..."
Bastet:
>"Yeah."
Nijisa:
>"Wait, did you get this now, or have you had this for a while?"
Daiko:
>"Oh."
V!Daiko:
>Nod.
>"Right, right. There's a lot of emotions and feelings... Instead of trying to tell you all of them, I'll try to help you understand them as a concept. I already said the thing ab out how they could be good and bad. You can kind of see and hear which emotions people show too."
Daiyousei:
>"Huh?"
Daiko:
>"I sidetracked the teaching some. With a bit of... mistake in helping, someone made her feel more of an emotion. I don't think that's good for anyone for any emotion, especially Kokoro who hadn't experienced many. I got mad that I couldn't help and that I made her upset again, and also that the person did their help. It... was stupid of me."
V!Daiko:
>"Yes. You already know some of these, right? When people smile when they're happy, or frown when they're sad or angry? How their face, mostly eyes and mouth look, also tell how they are."
Daiyousei:
>"We're going to be in a place that's kind of hot, so you should have on less clothes. The place is for relaxing and letting some of your worries go."
Bastet:
>"Hmm..."
Nijisa:
>"Yaaaaaaaay!"
Daiko:
>"I think genuine help..."
>Recall the other vampire household's occupants.
V!Daiko:
>"What about for how people sound? People should be able to tell when someone sounds angry or embarrassed easily."
Daiyousei:
>"Just to your undergarments."
Bastet:
>Relax time.
Nijisa:
>"Ohhh."
Daiko:
>"At least?"
V!Daiko:
>"You... stuttered a bit when you were angry before. Can't talk straight when emotions are too in the way."
Daiyousei:
>Follow suit.
Diako:
>Nod.
>There yet?
V!Daiko:
>"I think so."
>Do we hear any confusion in her voice?
Daiyousei:
>"Oh..."
>Look to the rooms, then Nue, then ourself.
>We have to be bare, don't we...
>"O-Oh... Come on Christine, we have to undress there..."
Daiko:
>"Think there are any more over here? Should we check on Fou now?"
V!Daiko:
>Nod.
>"Anyways, there are emotions like fear and confusion. Fear is being afraid of something, while confusion is not knowing about something."
Daiyousei:
>"I knew... We have to undress fully in there, then use the towel to cover up."
>Head for a room.
Nijisa:
>"I..Uh...Alright..."
>Lift.
Daiko:
>Start for the mascot room.
V!Daiko:
>"So you'd be confused about it. It's sometimes a state of wonder. Like, you're wondering what they mean when they say something you don't know or understand, or you wonder about the answer to a hard problem. People wondering things look like they're thinking about something, so that's sort of confusion.
Daiyousei:
>"Just put your clothes away and make sure the towel is secure over you."
>Undress and don our towel.
V!Daiko:
>"You don't look very confused. Try to sound and look like it. Something easier in fact. Happiness. Try to sound and look happy."
>Smile.
>"Like this. Think about things that make you happy. Eating good food. Not being bored..."
Daiyousei:
>"H-Here."
>Help her. Teach her how to keep it on if we can.
V!Daiko:
>Chuckle.
>"Like that, but without your fingers. Smile without moving your hands."
>Gently press Kokoro's cheeks.
>"Use these. Your cheeks. You should sort of feel something with them when you smile, okay?"
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
>Head out and for the sauna room now that we're ready.
Nijisa:
>"So now what?"
V!Daiko:
>"Okay. What makes you happy Kokoro? Imagine it in here, so you can be happier."
Daiyousei:
>"What's the matter Rachael?"
Nijisa:
>"Eat it!?"
Daiyousei:
>"Oh. That... won't be a problem, I think?"
Daiko:
>Head in.
>"Fou?"
Daiyousei:
>"You should be fine, yea."
>Feel for her soul. Maybe we could give her a lower body or something...
Nijisa:
>"So how much should I eat?"
Daiko:
>"Were you going to sleep? I wanted to know if you were fine with playing a bit. I did leave you out a little..."
Daiyousei:
>Try to make the soul have a full body...
Nijisa:
>"Ok."
>Cut a bit off.
Daiko:
>Crouch.
>"So what's your favorite thing to do here?"
Daiyousei:
>"I don't think I could help with it..."
>Continue on to the sauna. Try to give Rachael a proper body again...
Nijisa:
>Go get a knife.
Daiko:
>"Anything then? Alright."
Daiyousei:
>"Huh?"
>Look over.
Daiko:
>Search for something to start with.
Daiyousei:
>Avert our gaze.
Nijisa:
>Now cut.
Daiko:
>Take the ball and roll it towards the other side of the room. (A clear path, preferably.)
Daiyousei:
>Glance...
Nijisa:
>Nom.
Daiko:
>"Hmhm."
>Roll it further and quicker another way.
V!Daiko:
>"Well?"
Daiyousei:
>"Q-Quit fighting..."
Nijisa:
>Does anything feel different?
Daiko:
>Toss the ball this time.
V!Daiko:
>"Kokoro?"
Daiyousei:
>"Please?"
Nijisa:
>"Nothing..."
Daiko:
>"Nice. How about further?"
>Send the ball further and higher into the air.
V!Daiko:
>"Do you remember what we were doing?"
Daiyousei:
>How precise is our warp?
>"H-Huh..."
Daiko:
>How high did he jump?
>Glance for other things while he returns it.
V!Daiko:
>"We were talking about how you can express your emotions, like smiling. Without using your hands to help you. I said to imagine what really makes you happy, then you... stared into infinity."
Daiyousei:
>"I guess they're just playing..."
Daiko:
>Take the labyrinth and examine it.
V!Daiko:
>"Oh? What?"
Daiyousei:
>"Er..."
Daiko:
>Set it down.
>How's Mystia?
V!Daiko:
>"Hm? Seiga-Nyan? You mean like, to make you happy or as business stuff or chores?"
Daiyousei:
>"S-See? No harsh feelings."
Nijisa:
>Shake head.
>"Nothing happened."
Daiko:
>Mix the labyrinth a bit.
V!Daiko:
>"Mm... What about the happy thing?"
Daiyousei:
>Sigh.
Nijisa:
>"Ok."
>Carve a little more out and eat it.
Daiko:
>"Changing up this labyrinth."
V!Daiko:
>"And eating delicious food right? And being able to dance..."
Daiyousei:
>"I think..."
>When Nue's still, warp her towel over to us, then hide it.
Daiko:
>Finish and set it out for Fou.
V!Daiko:
>"Feel like smiling yet?"
Daiyousei:
>Watch.
Daiko:
>"Well Fou?"
V!Daiko:
>"You've smiled before... Maybe it's how much you care for things. If you care more, you'd express more emotions."
Daiyousei:
>Warp the towel behind Kogasa, so that neither of them see it immediately.
Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"Still nothing."
Daiko:
>Watch intently.
V!Daiko:
>"I think that's it. You should care more. Make more things seem serious like... What if you never saw me and Kyouko and Mystia again? Or Miko or Byakuren... That'd make you very sad, right?"
Daiyousei:
>"M-Maybe it was dropped..."
Daiko:
>Do so gently.
V!Daiko:
>"And if you couldn't enjoy good food anymore... And if that other Kokoro couldn't be stopped..."
Daiyousei:
>Well, nobody's getting hurt...
>Warp the other, unnoticed towel above the two.
Daiko:
>"Alright, I'll time you Fou. Start when you like. Good luck."
V!Daiko:
>Is she showing more emotion?
>> If not: "You're still not showing much... The times you smiled and stuff were lucky, I guess. But the times you were angry or upset were those...
>Try to manipulate our own soul and make ourself... happier. Kira said he could do something emotion-wise like that, so...
Daiyousei:
>"Eh?"
Nijisa:
>Watch.
Daiko:
>Start counting in our head...
V!Daiko:
>"Could I try something for you? Not physically like those were..."
Daiyousei:
>"What? We've just been watching."
Daiko:
>We're smart, we should be able to do this with just one vision up...
V!Daiko:
>Try to manipulate Kokoro's soul and make her happier.
Daiyousei:
> "Yea. Vanished."
V!Daiko:
>"Feeling anything?"
Daiyousei:
>"So you'll just swap towels? Leeeewd."
V!Daiko:
>"Okay. Don't, uh, try to stop anything. Just this once."
>Try again.
Daiyousei:
>"You were on top of her before... I didn't think you were that kind of person Kogasa..."
>Blush and smile as we look to the side a bit.
V!Daiko:
>"Trying to make you feel happiness, I guess..."
Daiyousei:
>How are the others?
>"Oh right, what would Sanae think?"
Daiko:
>"With... the soul manipulation thing..."
Daiyousei:
>Giggle.
>"Hm. I wonder where Rachael went."
V!Daiko:
>"So?"
Daiyousei:
>"W-Wait, you can't just leave out like this. None of us have clothes. What if Daiko's out?"
V!Daiko:
>Try again.
Daiyousei:
>"Then let's go already."
Daiko:
>Has he completed it yet?
V!Daiko:
>"Aw. I hoped that would work..."
Daiyousei:
>Follow
V!Daiko:
>Try feel for what emotions Kokoro's soul has...
Daiyousei:
>"We left it running for a while..."
>Is Rachael here?
V!Daiko:
>"Let me try something else, please."
>If she doesn't object, try to order these emotions so they aren't as messy.
Daiyousei:
>"They got into a bit of a fuss about towels..."
V!Daiko:
>"That's me trying to... change how your emotions are, a bit."
>Continue.
Daiyousei:
>"Yea. Nue swiped Kogasa's for a moment..."
V!Daiko:
>"How do you feel Koko-chan?"
Daiyousei:
>"They're all Daiko's family's anyways...
V!Daiko:
>Try to make happiness the most prominent...
Daiyousei:
>"Don't steal them, please..."
V!Daiko:
>"Sorry, but I think that worked?"
>Let it return.
Daiyousei:
>Where from?
V!Daiko:
>"Kokoro?"
Daiyousei:
>Guess she's enjoying the group too...
V!Daiko:
>"Was that fine? Happiness? Do you want to try another emotion?"
Daiyousei:
>"Christine?"
V!Daiko:
>"Is it fine to try another?"
Daiyousei:
>"Oh. Um, come with me, Christine."
>Take her out of the Sauna.
>"Was it too hot?"
Daiko:
>Time?
V!Daiko:
>Try to make happiness even more prominent.
Daiyousei:
>"T-Try to release some cold."
Daiko:
>Join in the praising.
>"Just a minute. Good, Fou."
V!Daiko:
>"Good? Or is it becoming like that other you?"
Daiyousei:
>"Better?"
Daiko:
>Cute..."
V!Daiko:
>Is she smiling?
>>If so: "Do you feel how you're smiling? Your cheeks and all?"
Daiyousei:
>Sigh.
>"Good. Sorry I didn't see that sort of thing happening sooner..."
Daiko:
>Nod.
V!Daiko:
>Make them normal again.
>"Try to smile now. Think about happy things too."
Daiyousei:
>"I guess it was too warm for you... You do seem like you're more used to being cold... Being hot might be bad for you."
Daiko:
>"Another game, Fou?"
>Look around for options.
V!Daiko:
>"There it is! That beautiful smile."
Daiyousei:
>"If you kept making it cold for yourself, maybe..."
Daiko:
>Anything else?
V!Daiko:
>Check her emotions. Is she happy on her own.
>"Do you want to try that? I might be able to stop you from being that other Kokoro."
Daiyousei:
>"Not if it means leaving you out and alone..."
Daiko:
>"Wanna set up this course, Mysti?"
V!Daiko:
>"You know. Those that made you the other Kokoro..."
Daiyousei:
>"Um... Try to keep the cold as close to you as possible. But not in your yet."
Daiko:
>Start for it.
V!Daiko:
>"If she does, I'll stop her."
Daiyousei:
>Does she do it?
Daiko:
>"Readyyyyy..."
>After a bit.
>"Go!"
Daiyousei:
>"Good. I think this might work."
>Head back inside.
Daiko:
>Nod nod.
Daiyousei:
>"Just a bit of... getting used to this. How is it now, Christine?"
Daiko:
>Cheer Fou on a bit.
Daiyousei:
>"That's great..."
Daiko:
>"N-Nice."
Daiyousei:
>"She wasn't feeling very well from the heat..."
//Minor time advancement plans have been considered outside of MoTK, given it's downside, for Daiko and Daiyousei. Saying this so that it's known and other characters can progress without worrying about their progress.
Daiko, Daiyousei:
>Initiate such plans.
Kiku:
>How are we? Tiles still fighting, or did we manage to quiet them for Elly?
Nijisa:
>"Hmmm..."
Kiku:
>"You all can't fight over something like that. Why does one of you have to be the most pretty?"
Kiku:
>"The point would be that you're all the same. How many times do you see a bunch of people who are that closely similar? Like, sisters."
Kiku:
>"Well, what if you were just two tiles. And one was always prettier and better? No one would like the other as much, and she'd be sad."
Kiku:
> "Surpass each other?"
Kiku:
>"You'll always be fighting each other then..."
Kiku:
>"But fighting would make Elly like that..."
Kiku:
>Look to Elly.
Nijisa:
>"Maybe it's got a delayed effect?"
> Others statuses?
Nijisa:
>"Hmmm."
Bastet:
>Examine such.
Nijisa:
>Look to Marisa.
Bastet:
>Watch...
Nijisa:
>"How long have you had it?"
Bastet:
> "Other?"
Nijisa:
>"Yeah..."
Nijisa:
>Can we make a little light?
>>Do so if we can.
Nijisa:
>Any change?
Bastet:
>Look around.
Daiyousei:
>Are we done with the Sauna yet?
Daiyousei:
> That might be a problem...
> Actually, just warp to... wherever we left our clothes.
Daiyousei:
>Then the pool room.
Daiyousei:
> Head to our clothes room.
Daikoyousei:
> Put them on.
Daiyousei:
> Head to the hall to see if everyone gets by alright.
Nijisa:
>"No change."
Daiyousei:
> Well, we probably could warp them...
> But not Kogasa. She needs her umbrella too.
> Head to the Sauna.
Daiyousei:
> "No one seems to be out there yet..."
> How is everyone?
Daiyousei:
> "Hurry before someone does show up then."
Daiyousei:
> Guide Christine back to hers. Ensure the towels there too...
Nijisa:
>Sigh.
Daiyousei:
> "H-Huh?"
Daiyousei:
> "Huh?"
Daiyousei:
>"A cat? Um, you can go and get dressed again Christine."
>Approach cat.
Daiyousei:
>Pet.
>"Where'd you come from?"
Daiyousei:
>"Cute~"
Daiyousei:
> Fuse with the kitten!
