Rumia Quest: Flight of the Night

[Raikaria]

>Rumia: check the book, is it in one piece?
>"Hey Kogasa, Why are you here? I thought you went home."

>Kogasa: this is going to be painfull....

>Wriggle: Get infront of Hatate. Prevent her escape!

> Yes... you think. Well, a few pages look old and tattered, and you don't see many books. The Bunbunmaru generally comes on a single page, unless something big happens.

> "I-I-I got lost. And there was someone I hadn't seen before so I had to try and surprise her. She claimed she was a Curse Goddess, and I would have... bad... luck... *gasp!* SHE BROUGHT HER HERE!" Kogasa said, pointing at Sanae. By now, the four were close to each other. Sanae was more curious right now at how the two youkai she was helping knew Kogasa. She smiled when she heard it seemed Kogasa had a run-in with Hina.

> Since Sanae has stopped, you leave the pentagram, however, Hatate is slow enough that you can catch up to her, although when she noticed you, she starts flying erratically so you cannot get in front of her.

>Rumia: "Hm? You know Sanae? I didn't know you two were friends."

>Wriggle: Shoot her down. she mustn't be allowed to escape.

>Rumia: "Hm? You know Sanae? I didn't know you two were friends."

>Wriggle: Shoot her down. she mustn't be allowed to escape.

> "Not quite Rumia... mikos and me do not get on well... they tend to hurt me. That one especially." Kogasa says, trembleing a little.

> Wriggle fires some nonspell danmaku at Hatate, who attempts to dodge, but is clipped a few times. However, noteably, the bag's strap breaks, cuaisng the bag to fall from the air, the papers going into the air... caught by a sudden change in wind... and into the river.

> Hatate, upon noticeing this, chases after them, but is too tired and slow to prevent it. "NOOOOOO!" she cries, landing next to the river.

> Sanae glances up the mountain. She was sure that gust of wind was Kanako's doing, helping them out...

>Wriggle: Catch her while she's distracted!
>Kogasa: Go help get Hatate! Maybe we can use her to distract Sanae!

[Raikaria]

>Wriggle: Catch her while she's distracted!
>Kogasa: Go help get Hatate! Maybe we can use her to distract Sanae!

> Wriggle and Kogasa move in to try and catch Hatate. She dosen't resist. She has no point to anymore. She's just sobbing quietly.

[Raikaria]

> Nothing else happens, so Sanae decides to speak.

> "Well, it's far too early for me. Well done... you youkai." she said, patting Kogasa on the back without warning [Making her pull a worried face when Sanae approached, but relax afterwards] She yawned, and then began to fly back up the mountain.

> Hatate stopped sobbing, although she sniffled occasionally, and she too, turned to head back to the Tengu Village, her home.

> Kogasa said goodbye, before she started heading down the mountain, hopefully towards her home. Hopefully.

> Kogasa and Hatate are both close enough to say any parting words. Sanae's long gone.

>Rumia: "Thanks, Kogasa!"
>"Okay, let's go return this to... um, were we supposed to give it back directly or take it to Reimu?"

[Raikaria]

>Rumia: "Thanks, Kogasa!"
>"Okay, let's go return this to... um, were we supposed to give it back directly or take it to Reimu?"

>Kogasa waves, not quite sure what she was being thanked for this time. All she did was cower from Sanae, right? Of courser, she didn't know she'd allowed you to catch Hatate by talking to her.

> "I think if that book is this important to the lake mansion, we should give it back to the mansion, not the red-white." Wriggle said, before remembering, "We gotta give Marisa's box back too!"

[master105]

>"Hey Kogasa, Do you want to come with us as we return these things?"

>Think: Which place is closer, the shrine or the lake?

[Raikaria]

>"Hey Kogasa, Do you want to come with us as we return these things?"

>Think: Which place is closer, the shrine or the lake?

> "No, I really gotta go home now. If I can find it." the karakasa youkai said.

> The lake is passed on the way to the shrine, but you'd be going to the lake in the morning anyway to meet with Cirno and the others, so nomatter which you choose, the trip would be just as long.

[master105]

>Might as well sopt at the mansion first.

>"Can you find your way home from the lake or the shrine?"

[Raikaria]

>Might as well sopt at the mansion first.

>"Can you find your way home from the lake or the shrine?"

> You decide to go to the mansion first.

> Kogasa shakes her head, before adding, "I gotta get back soon anyway. There's this old lady who always goes to her husband's grave early."
