There was something here once. Wonder what...

>So how far off the rails are we?
>It's hard to tell. During the day I keep thinking of new ideas for this quest and what comes after it. That happens so often that I don't even know what the original rails looked like anymore.

>Rodentius: Of course Mary is still active. That's why we need to watch for when/if there IS a timejump to watch for temporal desync and take advantage of it. Assuming that voice thing doesn't get solved overnight, at least...

>Kilga replies "Somebody around here's probably going to announce it or put it in a newspaper."

>Continue quest.
>Continuing quest...
>During a dream, you stand in the void and hear "Well, I think I've hit all of your flaws and mistakes already, so there's not much for me to talk about anymore. You'd better consider those..."
>You wake up.

>Fatmus: "Before or after we can actually take advantage of this opportunity? I mean - look. You know how Purvis' been able to gloss over long stretches of time in Quests? If that's still the case, we have infinite time to investigate this stuff here if we don't progress time in Maribel Quest. And if Yuyuko's rambling was real, then it could mean two things - that someone's making a solid shot at fucking with Gensokyo as a whole by messing with all of the most powerful players... and that there may be a real chance to set up at least communication with Gensokyo. If not travel, assuming that doesn't lead to some high-stakes power struggle or something. But to know whether that overlay can help and figure out the implications, we need to find out more. And we need time for that. Time that stalling Mary Quest while raiding the library could give us. Am I the only one impulsive and gullible enough to think this might be worthwhile?"

>Dechampisa Demander: Quiet dreams? That's some relief.
>What's our room like, anyway?

>Nothing comes out of the gap, though. Yet. White, wispy energy forms appear out of nowhere and are absorbed into the gap. The gap continues to expand, nearly covering the whole sky.

>What was Mary's last action?
>Say goodbye to Yuyuko and continue heading to the fairies. The rest after that was discussion.

>The hole in the sky now covers the whole sky as you see it. It is completely dark during these few moments.

>Shiki: "You're right, Reimu, and while we wait for the others to arrive, I'll give it to you."
>"You already know that the voice wanted Koishi to forgive Utsuho. I also wanted this, although I have no doubt that out reasons differed. When it became clear that we couldn't convince Koishi to do so, I decided that the best course of action was to... well, provoke an emotional response from her, then leave her alone with her feelings. Left by herself, she would eventually have no choice but to confront herself, ideally leading to a realization of her wrongs and a decision to right them. I... didn't do this very well. I think recent events have been getting to me more than I realized, and that came out at Koishi. I even physically struck her. What I said and did was wrong."
>"Anyways, I intended to leave Koishi to figure things out for herself, but as you know, the voice had a different idea. Apparently it was not willing to wait, so it decided to open Koishi's third eye. I don't know what it was planning in that regard, but I decided that rather than leave Koishi to the voice, I would intervene. That's why we brought in Satori and the others; I wanted to proove to her that she had people who cared about her. The problem, of course, was finding Koishi. Her invisibility trick made doing so difficult, and... I want to stress that I exhausted every other option first, but when it was clear that nothing else would work, I convinced the voice to cooperate. It is what made Koishi visible to us, and instead of opening her eye on its own time, it did so when I told it to."
>"Rest assured, Reimu, that I have no intention of giving in to the voice. I cooperated with it in regards to Koishi, yes, but only because I had no other choice and I most certainly did not want to just leave her to the voice's machinations on her own. I don't know what it really wants, but I intend to stop it."
>"All that being said, I will understand completely if you decide to part ways with me now. I welcome you aid should you be willing to give it, but as always, it is your choice."

>Komachi: "...Fine."
>Do so.
>Shiki: "Thank you."
>"Reimu, you are not my enemy. That voice is, and the fact that I worked with it once does not change that."
>"I said and did things that I should not have, Reimu. That much is true. And one of the reasons I would like you to continue to assist me is so that you can point it out if I start doing it again."

>"I let myself get drawn into a battle with you, Reimu, but I'm putting an end to that right now. I am not going to fight you, and neither is Komachi."
>Komachi: "Wait, what?"
>Shiki: "That's an order, Komachi."
>"Reimu, if you're intent on harming me, then do so. But know that you will be attacking someone who doesn't simply desire not to fight, but who will refuse to fight back or even evade. A battle between us would only do harm, so I will not participate in one. What action you take is up to you."
>If Reimu does indeed attack, just stand there and take it.

>Shiki: Use 'Guilty or Not Guilty'.
>You use Judgement 「Guilty or Not Guilty」, firing lasers at Reimu.
>Komachi: Use distance hax to get to Reimu quickly as she hits the ground.
>You use your abilities to approach Reimu quickly, and get to her right when she hits the ground.
>Hold our scythe to Reimu's throat.
>You attempt to hold your scythe to Reimu's throat. That's a rather morally ambiguous thing for you to do. However...
>Border Shrine Maiden: Roll eyes. Barrier the scythe to keep it from being able to reach us, just to be safe.
>...you stop the scythe from reaching you.
>Teleport clear. Repeat at varying distances as necessary to keep out of their grip while voicing a pointed reminder.
>Wait, can you teleport?
>"The boss said she doesn't want to fight."
>Shiki: "Komachi, do not injure her."
>Komachi: Keep the scythe held in place.
>"Okay, but if she tries something, I'm fighting back."
>Shiki: "Reimu, Komachi is correct. I do not want to fight you. Please do not force me to do so."
>"You know why I set up those rules, right? Because stupid shit like this starts happening when people don't play by the rules, and I only have so much patience for people ignoring them. Since when is a Yama supposed to be asking people to break the rules on a whim, Eiki?"
>Give Komachi a fierce look. "Back off, ferrygirl. Rules are on by default and if she's gonna keep acting like nothin' but her matters, then you don't need to be part of the fallout."
>Titanics: Frown a bit. That's a harsh look...
>... HAS the Yama been acting a little weird since last night?
>You can't tell from the short dialogue you shared before she went to sleep.
>Shiki: "You attacked without warning, Reimu. You did not challenge me or even state an intent to attack; you simply attacked, and Komachi and I struck back only in defense. I would like her to put her weapon away, though." Stare at Komachi.
>Komachi: "...Fine."
>Do so.
>You put away the scythe. Somewhere. I can't tell where you put it.
>Shiki: "Thank you."
>"Reimu, you are not my enemy. That voice is, and the fact that I worked with it once does not change that."
>"I said and did things that I should not have, Reimu. That much is true. And one of the reasons I would like you to continue to assist me is so that you can point it out if I start doing it again."
>Reimu: Barking laugh: "Ha! Feels like friggin' half the time I don't get any warning, either! Hell, NEVER with fairies! And I don't see any reason to stop when you haven't been doing anything against that voice ever since!"
>Serious again. "So I'm just gonna cut this off before it becomes a problem again."
>Eye Komachi for a moment, then start press the offense.
>You look at Komachi for a moment, then assault the Yama with danmaku.
>Shiki: "Only because we all went home for the night. As soon as everyone's here, we'll be taking our next step."
>Stop any evasive action. If we're flying, land.
>You stop Judgement 「Guilty or Not Guilty」 and resolve not to dodge.
>"I let myself get drawn into a battle with you, Reimu, but I'm putting an end to that right now. I am not going to fight you, and neither is Komachi."
>Komachi: "Wait, what?"
>Shiki: "That's an order, Komachi."
>"Reimu, if you're intent on harming me, then do so. But know that you will be attacking someone who doesn't simply desire not to fight, but who will refuse to fight back or even evade. A battle between us would only do harm, so I will not participate in one. What action you take is up to you."
>If Reimu does indeed attack, just stand there and take it.
>Reimu does attack, but you take the danmaku like a woman.

>Rodentius: Oh. That's different.
>Teleportation isn't normal or a part of standard experiences, is it.
>It is not.
>Oh god are-nonononono it's not Gensokyo it's not Gensokyo
>You seriously hope this isn't Gensokyo...
>Head in for a quick and quiet landing, especially if no one nearby is flying. Need to lay low and figure out what's going on.
>You land quickly and quietly, and resolve to find what's going on.
>Evaluate how well a modest female figure (call 'em Bs) with a simple grey skirt and a small yellow arrow ribbon for the ahoge would blend in.
>Considering Gensokyo, rather well.

There was something here once. Wonder what...

>"I know she told me not to fight you, but you're going too far. You've made your point. Try anything more, and you'll have to deal with me first. But I have a better idea: stop being such a self-rightous, stuck-up little bitch and get it through your head that this isn't about you! She's trying to do the right thing, and no, she's not perfect! Nobody is! So stop expecting her to be, stop being a bitch, and start helping to solve the problem instead of attacking the person it's hurting the most!"

>You haven't been able to run very far, so you slink back into Purvis's alley and look around. There aren't any major landmarks you recognize around here, either recently appeared or already here, except Purvis's alley. Most of the people around here look like teenage girls wearing men's clothes too large for them, and you see a purple-haired girl with a yellow ribbon and a labcoat and a girl with weird-looking gray hair (Continue Miko Quest for more information). There don't seem to be actual Ijiyatsu inhabitants around here.
