>"You're lying to me again, sis. You're telling me that you want to be a prisoner, and we both know it's not true. I can understand your hesitation a little, you don't want to be a burden. You never did. Why else did you choose to hide away in that rocky prison? Why else do you do consent to hide from people? Why do you not really stand up for yourself? So I did, and I helped you at the same time. And you loved it. Your actions in that paradise prove it beyond any protest you can give me. You loved it. You were free and happy, and so was everyone else. It was better, for us and all others."
>Satori inhales, then exhales.
>"I'm not saying I want to be a prisoner. I am saying that I accept what I am, a satori, and if being a prisoner is what comes with it, then fine. You, however, run away from what you are and what this world is like, and your heart isn't quite strong enough to accept that. And I don't think my actions in Gensokyo Isle count for much, since I wasn't completely myself at the time."

>"And that crow, that damn stupid crow, tore it down. She forced our curse back upon us, she took away what everyone had there. Why? Because she couldn't live without power. She's the enemy of all satori, whether you've forgiven her or not. Every time you look toward that awful city and wince at just imagining the weight of all the thoughts there, every time you miss the sun on your shoulders, every time you think of the friends you've lost, you know in your heart is was she who tore them from you. And how has the world improved for it, sis? What did it get back in exchange for cursing us anew?"
>"'Enemy of all satori' is an overstatement. You simply don't like her because she reverted the changes you made. Because of that, you thought up a reason to believe Utsuho was wrong and you were right, namely that she only reverted Gensokyo Isle to get her power back. I do indeed miss not having the weight of thoughts on myself and feeling the sun, but I really should have moved aboveground by now. And how has the world improved? Well, now Gensokyo is what it should be and you can stop running away from your personal problems."
>"Now, if you still think I'm not being totally honest, say why you think so."

Stay in character. Koishi has no reason whatsoever to concede anything at all. Especially when she's fully convinced that Satori isn't being fully honest for her own reasons.

I thought that last comment worked (I'm trying to get Satori to say that Utsuho asked her about changing things back, since, y'know, that's what happened). But I was more referring to why you seem determined to make the situation with Koishi as hard to resolve as possible; it's not exactly very productive, and there are other ways this could be played without breaking character.

>Koishi: "Because I know you. I know you really wanted to stay in that world, and if Utsuho really cared about what you wanted, she would've let you. But she didn't. She just changed things back because she wanted to, and the fact that she didn't ask you about it kind of hurts her claim that she did it for you."
>Shiki: "So we should assume that people can't change? We should assume that everyone who's caused an incident is going to do it again?"
>Keep firing.

>"No, but these people pretty much-" she narrowly dodges a danmaku bullet- "caused three incidents!"

>Keep firing.
>You keep firing lasers. She keeps weaving through the swarm of bullets around her. Which is a feat, considering that there are three people firing at her.

>Koishi: "She didn't ask you because she didn't wait what?"
>"Oh, you just told her to 'do what was right'? Yeah, that means a lot. Obviously she didn't do what was right. She certainly didn't do what you wanted. Or are you trying to tell me that even when in that world, you still chose this one? Surely you can't even believe that one yourself."
>Shiki: Wait, only three people firing? Who's missing: Kanako, Suwako, or Sanae?
>Fire basic shots at Reimu. Attempt to provoke her into responding in kind. When she does, charge at her full-speed, going right through her shots and taking the hits, and laser her at point-blank range. She won't expect that.

Guy: Given I'm the one who actually engineered the motivations and reactions to such in question? Yeah, I think I know what I'm talking about.

>"Satori, if a person is born unable to walk, and lives their life confirmed to a house. If this person is cured, and leaves their home to enjoy life, are they "not completely themselves?" It was the same for you, your curse was taken away. It the person I see before me that isn't completely herself, the one whose affliction keeps her from being who she truly is. It breaks my heart to see you try to claim otherwise."

This isn't your quest, though. Yes, it's set paralell to Maribel Quest, but it's not your quest. And Koishi's a PC now, so you don't get to completely dictate how she's played. Her character here is not going to be completely identical to what you had in your quests, since you're not the only one deciding what she does now. You only have the same say as the rest of us.

Also, you seem intent on preventing any resolution of the Koishi/Utsuho thing, and I fail to see how that's productive (although I think I've got a way to get things moving towards a resolution).

No, I just know exactly why she did what she did, and how she feels about it. Given that Blitzer has said it's based off of that, those motivations and such would apply. Otherwise, the events and such would not have gone as they did.

And of course it's going to be prevented from Koishi's side, she has no interest whatsoever in reconciling with the person she views as the one who forced her to be cursed again! She's much more interested in winning Satori over to her side. Why would she have any interest in reconciling with Utsuho at all?

Yes, those motivations and such apply, but you don't get to decide just by yourself how they're incorporated into Koishi's character here. And I understand about Koishi's feelings on the situation, but as I said, there are other ways that could've been played. But whatever. As I said, I think I've got a way to resolve this.

Eventually, you find an oni, a medium-sized old man with bull horns, who does know Yuugi's location.

>"That's the plan. Please inform Yuyuko and Suika of their role, then open a gap to Satori and Koishi."
>"I shall."
>As Yuyuko, you hear Yukari whisper "After you're done talking with the oni, please find a private place so we can chat for a bit before going in the bar Utsuho's in."

>Yuyuko: Leave Suika talking to the oni and wander into an empty alley or something.
>"Okay, I'm alone."
>Shiki: Once the gap is done forming, enter it.
>Reimu: "Right. Start talking. How did you do it? And why?"

>Yuyuko: Leave Suika talking to the oni and wander into an empty alley or something.
>You leave Suika and walk into a nearby alley.

>"Okay, I'm alone."
>"Good. You see, the Yama came up with a plan to help Koishi realize that Utsuho did not revert the world for selfish reasons. You need to explain to Utsuho the situation and that Shikieiki wants to enter her mind with Koishi and Satori."

>Shiki: Once the gap is done forming, enter it.
>As Koishi, you suddenly detect one of Yukari's gaps. "The Yama would like to see you now."
>You wait as a gap enters for...a minute and a half. Thankfully, you have nearly infinite patience. You enter the gap.
>You find yourself in a forest clearing. You see Youkai Mountain ahead of you.
>But more importantly, you see Koishi and Satori looking at you.
>Koishi says "What do you want? Trying to make sure that your selfish plan is being furthered?"

>Reimu: "Right. Start talking. How did you do it? And why?"
>"Suwako and I are gods. We simply molded out Gensokyo Isle. Koishi was responsible for changing everyone's memories so it would seem that Gensokyo Isle always existed. Suwako and I did it because we wanted to fullfill a lifelong dream of Sanae's."

>Reimu: "Oh, yeah? And just what 'desire' would that be?"
>"So you two made Gensokyo Isle and Koishi screwed up everyone's memories. And you expect me to believe that's all there is to it? Sorry, but I'm not that stupid. So you might just want to go ahead and tell me right now: how did you make the change?"
>Shiki: "This is not about me. I want us to determine the truth of something you said. Specifically, you said that Utsuho only changed Gensokyo back for her own sake. There is a way to know whether or not this is true. If you cooperate with me on this, I will not push further on the issue with Utsuho and we can resume our investigation into the overlay."
>"The plan is simple. right now, Yuyuko and Suika should be speaking to Utsuho. Assuming that Utsuho consents, you, Satori, and myself will enter her mind and locate her memories of the Gensokyo Isle incident. This will tell us beyond a doubt what her motives were for changing Gensokyo back. And as I said, once we have seen those memories, I will drop the issue, and I will also stand against Reimu should she move against you in any way."
>Yuyuko: "Does she? That's great! Okay, I'll do that."
>Return to Suika.
>"I'm heading in. You want to keep talking with your friend or come in with me?"
>Suika: "Yuugi's in there, right? Yeah, let's go."
Yuyuko/Suika: Enter the tavern.

Yuyuko/Suika: Enter the tavern.
>You both head into the tavern. It isn't terribly crowded in here. You see Yuugi sitting at a table to your right with a girl with wings, a cape, and a red eye on her chest and another girl with green eyes and very strange clothes.

>Shiki: "For the same reasons you decided to come with me in the first place. Those concerns still exist. And as I said, I will put this issue behind us, and I will ensure that the others know not to bring it up."
>"And here's something else to consider, Koishi. The voice pushed for you to forgive Utsuho, something I went along with only because I also felt that you should do such a thing. But look where that got us. We're all split up, you're in a bad way, Reimu's on the warpath-I actually just finished a battle against her-and there's substantial hostility, especially from Reimu. This is tearing the group apart, and what if that was the voice's intent? To set us against each other? I, for one, am not going to allow that to happen. So we are going to enter Utsuho's mind, assuming she agrees, and we are going to see for certain why she did what she did. That question is what initially set you against me, so we will end this by finding the answer. And then we wil move on. I will not mention the issue again, and I will ensure that none of the others do, either. And I will ensure that no harm comes to you, whether it be from the voice, Reimu, or someone else. Remember, Koishi, that you are a target of this voice. Simply deciding not to come with me will not remove you from this; it will simply return you to the danger you were in before joining us. If you do not want the topic of Utsuho or your actions in the Gensokyo Isle incident to be brought up, it will not be mentioned."
>Koishi: "...Fine. I'll proove I'm right."
>Look at Satori.
>"And once I do, I don't want to hear anything more about how she did the right thing, or about how this world is better, or anything like that. You'll see that I'm right, and you'll have no choice but to admit that I am and that Utsuho deserved everything I said."

>Yuyuko/Suika: Head over to Yuugi's table.
>Suika: "Hey, Yuugi!"
