[Monarda]

Koishidai-chan:

>Keep going.

Rikadai-chan:

>Keep washing.

Rikakobug:

>Just stay aware.

Koadai-chan:

>Warp to the area just outside Rikako's room.
>Head to the door and knock on it.

Sumidai-chan:

>"Truth or d-dare ?"

Dai-chan Prime:

>"You seem to have extra trouble dodging, have you never done this before dear ?"

[Monarda]

Ruudai-chan:

>"Again ? Hm..."
>Ponder  having Prime do the same thing we did for getting milk for our cat before.

[Kilgamayan]

2:

> Head out of the shower and grab a towel to dry off.

MikoBug, FutoBug, TojiBug:

> Have our hosts met up yet?

---

YamaBug (T):

> Hmm...I can do this!

YamaBug:

> Begin growing our host's entire body (including clothes) at a fairly rapid rate.

---

MyonBug (T):

> Uh...I dunno what to get or where to get it...

[Neovereign]

Koishidai-chan:

>Keep going.

Rikadai-chan:

>Keep washing.

Rikakobug:

>Just stay aware.

Koadai-chan:

>Warp to the area just outside Rikako's room.
>Head to the door and knock on it.

> You arrive.

> You continue washing up.

> You warp outside of Rikako's room, clipping into Umbra and taking part of her lower body, while you lose some of your upper body.
> Umbra screams.

> "Huh!?" Rikako gets up. Umbra!?

Sumidai-chan:

>"Truth or d-dare ?"

Dai-chan Prime:

>"You seem to have extra trouble dodging, have you never done this before dear ?"

> "Truth!"

> "I-I have. I'm not this bad..." Flora says.

Ruudai-chan:

>"Again ? Hm..."
>Ponder having Prime do the same thing we did for getting milk for our cat before.

> You ponder... It is just milk though. You think she'd have to fuse with Yaia for that though, or it'd just be fairy milk, maybe. Or fairy goddess milk... You wonder if it tastes different...

2:

> Head out of the shower and grab a towel to dry off.

> You head out and get a towel.
> Hamiya does so as well, turning off the shower and starting to dry off.

MikoBug, FutoBug, TojiBug:

> Have our hosts met up yet?

> The others are at the door.
> There's a light knocking.
> "Crown prince. May we come in?" Futo asks.
> "Yes." Miko says. They probably heard everything.

YamaBug (T):

> Hmm...I can do this!

YamaBug:

> Begin growing our host's entire body (including clothes) at a fairly rapid rate.

MyonBug (T):

> Uh...I dunno what to get or where to get it...

> You have Yamame start growing quickly.
> "W-Whoa." Yamame says, almost dropping her mirror.

> "Something from the kitchen." Youmu says. Ah. I should control her again.
> You start to move again.

[Kilgamayan]

//Uh, I hope you have a plan for cleaning that up. >_>

TaoBugs:

> Beat.

---

YamaBug:

> Continue the growing.
> Listen to Yamame's thoughts.

[Neovereign]

//Uh, I hope you have a plan for cleaning that up. >_>

TaoBugs:

> Beat.

> Tojiko opens the door, and the two enter.
> "So... What are your thoughts on Virtue?" Tojiko asks. "How did you like it? Or dislike?"

YamaBug:

> Continue the growing.
> Listen to Yamame's thoughts.

> You have Yamame continue growing.
> She can grow things too!?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

//Of all times to go to bed...

KoaDai:

> Scream in pain as well.
> Stagger away from Umbra, keeping an eye on her.

Prime:

> Try casting a faith-powered healing miracle on Umbra using KoaDai's PoV.

---

TaoBugs:

> Listen to our hosts' thoughts as they converse.

---

YamaBug:

> Continue the growing.
> (T): What do you think? Neat, huh?

[Neovereign]

//Of all times to go to bed...

KoaDai:

> Scream in pain as well.
> Stagger away from Umbra, keeping an eye on her.

Prime:

> Try casting a faith-powered healing miracle on Umbra using KoaDai's PoV.

> You scream and start staggering away.
> You try and perform a miracle, using up some faith as it works.
> "What happened?" Rikako questions as she opens the door.

TaoBugs:

> Listen to our hosts' thoughts as they converse.

---

YamaBug:

> Continue the growing.
> (T): What do you think? Neat, huh?

> "It was nice." Miko says. Being one person like that.
> "Yea..." Tojiko agrees. Looks like everyone's past that other subject.

> You continue.
> Yamame nods.
> Now I know how Parsee feels...

//Hold off as in don't parse, or is this directed to others?

//Edit: Right... (Keeps a copy of the ready post as he waits*)

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//It was mostly directed to the others, but not parsing also works.

Rikakobug:
>Thought monitoring.

[Kilgamayan]

//If you're miffed at the situation, then fine, that's understandable. If you're miffed at the use of faith, then I don't really care, honestly. I would absolutely do it again.

KoaDai:

//If you're miffed at the situation, then fine, that's understandable. If you're miffed at the use of faith, then I don't really care, honestly. I would absolutely do it again.

//My comment was at the situation, not the faith usage. Sorry if I caused a confusion.

//EDIT: I'm actually fine with the usage of faith on Umbra, it was a good call. My faith-related commands were to see if it would be worth it to heal Koa-dai, as well as make things easier faith-wise.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//@Kilga edited

[Kilgamayan]

//Ah, okay. No worries, then.

//I'm actually mildly tempted to leave KoaDai like that, at least for a little bit, if only as a demonstration of good will and culpability for Rikako.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I'm actually mildly tempted to leave KoaDai like that, at least for a little bit, if only as a demonstration of good will and culpability for Rikako.

//I'd be down for that as long as it doesn't put any potential flan clones that have important roles at risk.
//Unless, of course, it turns out she's a flan clone herself, or has not made her flan clones, at which point anything is fair game.

[Kilgamayan]

//She's not a Flan clone, but I don't believe she has any Flan clones out right now. That's easy enough to check for sure, though.

> It seemed to only use less than 1% of your maximum faith, which, unless you're probably doing something huge, most miracles will seem to do... You doubt running out would be a concern.
> She is alive. Her body is recovering and... regenerating. It looks... pretty unwell to watch.

>Attempt to use faith to make the recovery instantaneous, rather than a gradual regeneration.
>Is Umbra awake for all this?

//And this is why I shrink and aim for a point near the ceiling when I blind warp, Raf. I swear if we need to timehax to fix this and actually have a hope of Rikako trusting us again... ugh!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Say, Kilga, do you happen to know why the hell Koadai was going there in the first place?

Team cooperation guys.

>Faith levels?

//if we lose both their trust we will have no choice but to timehax, as much as I don't like it.

> You float to her side.
> You then fall to your knee, hurting it some.
> You aren't sure...
> I'm getting rid of her NOW! Rikako charges further.

> You have a large amount of faith still. It's less than Prime's.
> Actually, you don't think your faiths are connected to hers...

> You have a grave feeling about this situation... Your old feelings look like warnings of stepping on a blade of grass compared to this.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Well... this certainly feels like the hopeless Mimi-chan situation all over again... Raaaaaaaaaf why didn't you be careful!

//I don't even know if timehax will even work if Rikako's barriers are up. Since she will be immune and aware  with it.

//Wait until unanimous approval on one or more options.
A. RikakoBug:
>(F) Wait, maybe I'm being too paranoid. Umbra did say I could trust her,  maybe I should hear the fairy out on this...
>if all else fails flood her mind with as many distracting thoughts as possible and hope she drops the charge.

B. KoaDai:
>use faith to disrupt or disable whatever is charging (Or maybe set the charge back to zero). Tap into prime's faith as we did for umbra if necessary.

C. Sakudai: (I personally am against it, but if If the majority deems it necessary I'll go with it)
>Tell Sakuya about the situation and request permission to go back in time. 

D. Suggestion by another player.


>Activate Democracy, since I feel this is a situation that needs full cooperation from all players.


EDIT:
//Why do you two ALWAYS disappear at the same time when you are needed the most?!?
>Note that as I have not voted yet, do not advance once Kilga and Raf respond, so that I may respond to them. Just in case I go to sleep before either of them come back.

EDIT 2:
Option E:
>Use faith to make Rikako's barriers fail, stop time, reverse time, stop our stupid, use another miracle to prevent the ripple effect from removing us, like how we did with Shinmyoumaru.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//In case either of them is, by some miracle, online right now and is in the middle of a post: edited.

[Monarda]

//Okay...

//First, i'm sorrrrrrrrrrrrry !

//Second, i like Option E better.

[Kilgamayan]

//I'm actually leaning toward write-in options of "Let Rikako kill KoaDai" (depending on AlterDai's importance) or "Travel back in time with Rikako in tow so she can see it was an accident". If people wish to try to disrupt her barriers, though, it would be better to have RikakoBug cast the necessary spells than anyone on the outside. Of the existing options, I guess I lean toward E, and lean against A. The others I have no real strong opinion about.

//Another possibility is a combination off my write-in options; let Rikako kill KoaDai, but alert the other scientists to it, claiming (correctly) that it was an accident and that we can show everyone it was an accident, then cloak 'em all and send them all back in time with the instructions of not interfering in any way. They watch the accident, we go back to the correct time, and the others get Rikako to calm down.

//Side note: Since there have been a few commands regarding the Rikako situation, Imma go ahead and put these in, since it can be assumed they happened at the same time as the Rikako stuff.

---

> Have we ever felt life energy from Umbra in all our dealings with her?

AlterDai:

> Where are we, and what are we doing?

-------------

//Please only parse the rest of these if it can be assumed that they happened at the same time as the previous few Rikako-related commands.

TaoBugs:

> Continue listening to our host's thoughts.

---

YamaBug:

> Continue the growing and listening to our host's thoughts.

[Monarda]

//Well Alterdai-chan is on the other Gensokyo, but we do have Diana there too, and Diana is completely independent.

//And from your options, i would rather pick the one where we take only Rikako, she is a very skeptical person after all, we would also probably need to use faith to power ourselves further just to make sure, and warn Sakuya that we will be going back in time for a bit to explain some issues to Rikako.

[Kilgamayan]

//I want to bring the others along because (a) Rikako is far more likely to listen to them than to us, and (b) Rikako is exceedingly unlikely to just let us cast whatever spells we want without the presence of backup she trusts.

[Monarda]

//Then we have to bring all of them to see it, only then Rikako will ease up.
