Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/II

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Ah. Right."
>Vision Mystia.

V!KyoukoDiako:

>"Well, we should still make sure other visions don't connect with each other... At least it'd be safest if we're the ones that have to find out, and not someone like Aya..."

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"Are we going to try danmaku or other possible festival things in here? Or would you just want it regularly outside?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Ah. Right."
>Vision Mystia.

V!KyoukoDiako:

>"Well, we should still make sure other visions don't connect with each other... At least it'd be safest if we're the ones that have to find out, and not someone like Aya..."

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"Are we going to try danmaku or other possible festival things in here? Or would you just want it regularly outside?"

> You vision Mystia separately from Kyouko's vision

> "Well, that is true... And I doubt that it would be safe to work it in here... I... am not exactly in the best conditions. I need a bath~"

> "Other festival things?" V!Mystia asks. "Well... I know that this discovery was really our own, and anyone could eavesdrop us and find it out and... pretty much spread the word..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"Like if there's a three-legged race or something else other than danmaku. Other games or competitions. So me, you, Kyouko, and Kokoro in here, right? Ah, did Kokoro agree to join or were we full on team members?"

>Recall team composition.

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>Try to imagine the three of us clean, then also physically check to see if we actually are.

[Tashi]

V!MystiaDaiko:

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>Try to imagine the three of us clean, then also physically check to see if we actually are.

> "Uhm... You don't remember I am not participating, do you?"

> So far the team was made of Sakura, Kokoro and you out of 5.

> You imagine...
> It works for you, at least.
> "Hoh? I assume you tried..."
> Suddenly, it works for both Kyoukos too.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"Oww... You couldn't... I remember."

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>Nothing's actually staying, right?
>"I guess it is completely mind-based... Are you participating? Do you already have a team, Kyouko?"
>Try to imagine we have very soft and pleasant hands, then pat Kyouko a bit.

[Tashi]

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"Oww... You couldn't... I remember."

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>Nothing's actually staying, right?
>"I guess it is completely mind-based... Are you participating? Do you already have a team, Kyouko?"
>Try to imagine we have very soft and pleasant hands, then pat Kyouko a bit.

> V!Mystia looks away. "I-I already told you... I want to take the chance and, uh... be able to sell a lot..."

> No.
> "I don't really have a team... I was thinking, though..."
> You imagine, then start patting V!Kyouko.
> "Kyaaah..." She rubs her head on your hand.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>"Thinking?"

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"I guess I'll stop this vision then..."
>Stop it if she doesn't say against such.

Daiko:

>"I think I'll try and group my current team together in a vision then. Like a meeting grounds."
>Vision our current team members.

[Tashi]

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>"Thinking?"

V!MystiaDaiko:

>"I guess I'll stop this vision then..."
>Stop it if she doesn't say against such.

Daiko:

>"I think I'll try and group my current team together in a vision then. Like a meeting grounds."
>Vision our current team members.

> "Yea! I mean, there are the people of the temple..." V!Kyouko says.

> Nothing stops you from finalizing the vision, though Mystia's dubious face was strange.

> You vision both Kokoro and Sakura.
> "Hoh?" V!Sakura questions. "Nani?"
> "Hiii..." V!Kokoro salutes.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>"Ah. They're interested too?"
>Continue.

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"This is our festival group. We've only got three members!"
>Raise hands.
>"Just threeeee!"

[Tashi]

V!KyoukoDaiko:

>"Ah. They're interested too?"
>Continue.

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"This is our festival group. We've only got three members!"
>Raise hands.
>"Just threeeee!"

> "I think they are." She keeps rubbing her head on your hand. "I also know that Kogasa is!"
> V!Kyouko 2 pouts.

> "Just three!" Kokoro raises her arms to emphasize, and she says this to Sakura.
> "E-Err..." Sakura scratches her cheek. "T-That's unfortunate, isnt?"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Hm. Well, it's just me, Sakura, and Kokoro. If you don't get too many others and they're willing, maybe consider joining us?"
>Sit down and pat near us. At least we won't have to stand for either of them.

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Mhm."
>Think up two more Daikos near Kokoro and ourself, then link one hand with each other as we all raise them.
>Speak in unison: "We should have this much! The more the merrier!"
>Then unthink them.
>"I absorbed this ghost thingy at Mystia's stand. It's way better than what sugar can do!"

Daiko:

>How are things out here? Does Mysti still have that look?"
>"What was that look Mysti..."

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Hm. Well, it's just me, Sakura, and Kokoro. If you don't get too many others and they're willing, maybe consider joining us?"
>Sit down and pat near us. At least we won't have to stand for either of them.

Daiko:

>How are things out here? Does Mysti still have that look?"
>"What was that look Mysti..."

> Well, you were already on the 'floor' of this pitch black place, so...
> You shift and pat near you. Both Kyoukos sit next to you, at both sides.
> "I was thinking that too! I was just unsure."

> You make two more yous and link hands, emphasizing even more to Sakura's surprise!
> Then remove them.
> "Ghost thingy?" V!Sakura blinks, then smirks. "Hoh. And you tell me that I shouldn't try risky things like absorbing Yuugi? Hmm?"
> "What?" V!Kokoro tilts her head.

> She doesn't. She is just cleaning her cooking tools.
> "Nothing to worry about." She says.
> "Look?" Kyouko questions.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>Actually...
>Hug the main Kyouko close to us and keep patting.
>"Mhm. We don't have much thinking time left though."
>Make another similar Daiko, and repeat the process with the other Kyouko.

V!FestivalDaiko:

>Imagine another us again.
>"Test with this." Point to him. "It's... probably less risky. Also, am I any other species? I'm wondering how a tail would feel. AH! Or wings!"

Daiko:

>Glare at Mystia.
>"Mystiiiii..."

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>Actually...
>Hug the main Kyouko close to us and keep patting.
>"Mhm. We don't have much thinking time left though."

Daiko:

>Glare at Mystia.
>"Mystiiiii..."

> Creating anothe Daiko to do his own job, both hug their respective Kyoukos and keep the patting.
> "Not sure what to do though... I am wondering what this event will be about... You don't have any kind of clue?" The original V!Kyouko asks.

> You imagine yet another you.
> "I... am not sure? See, I doubt it... because, uh, yea... I haven't done anything besides making you inherit my horn..." V!Sakura explains. "But what do you mean with test?"

> You glare, yet she doesn't falter.
> "It doesn't matter." She says.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Not that I recall, no. There anything else I can do for you in here? Or at least try to?"
>Try to imagine a clean and comfortable bedroom here. Including comfy floor of course!

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Try absorbing that me. Since you wanted to absorb Yuugi."

Daiko:

>"Please? Also how is it like to have wings? Flying is possible without them, but still. I don't have extra ears, a tail, or wings..."
>Reconsider our species. Yuki-onna, Oni, Human right?
>Try to... grow wings made of ice!

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Not that I recall, no. There anything else I can do for you in here? Or at least try to?"

>Reconsider our species. Yuki-onna, Oni, Human right?
>Try to... grow wings made of ice!

> "Hmm... I don't know? What do you suggest?" She smiles.
> You imagine so. Comfyness included, of course!

> "Ya' sure? I mean, you were so restrictive when I spoke about the matter." V!Sakura pouts.

> Yes, you think those are your current species...
> You will attempt, of course! Something like Cirno's wings, maybe...? Wait, are those even wings?
> You try either way!
> ...
> No clue. Boooh...
> "How can we explain it?" Mystia blinks "We, uh, don't know how is it to not have them, so..."
> Kyouko nods.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"More comfort, at least."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Well, that me is just imaginary. You can imagine things in here. Try it. Sakura, Kokoro?"

Daiko:

>"Hm... Well, what are we gonna do now?"
>What are our abilities? The most we've done Yuki-onna wise was resist cold and make cold air, right? Oni wise was strength, which we've been improving lately. Consider new things to try...
>Vision Mystia.

V!Mystia-Daiko:

>"You suuuure it was nothing?"

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"More comfort, at least."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>Vision Mystia.

V!Mystia-Daiko:

>"You suuuure it was nothing?"

> "For sure~" V!Kyouko smiles a bit more.
> ...
> Then grins.
> You jump a bit- err, both Daikos jump a bit when their respective Kyoukos start to do something to them.

> "I can?"
> Suddenly, something big falls on all of you, it seems. It also makes you wince a bit in the real world.

> "Not sure." They all say.
> You are sure of those, and you also tried make icicles, which worked out...
> You wonder if you could ask for help to that Yuki-Onna, Letty, or maybe Cirno himself to understand better your ice abilities...

> You redo the vision.
> "It's nothing."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"R-Right..."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Huh?"
>Try to investigate what this is.

V!Mystia-Daiko:

>Stare.
>Sigh.
>"Alright..."

Daiko:

>Plan to ask Letty when we see her next then. Maybe Cirno too. Add learning about our species and abilities onto the list of quests.

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Huh?"

V!Mystia-Daiko:

Daiko:

>Plan to ask Letty when we see her next then. Maybe Cirno too. Add learning about our species and abilities onto the list of quests.

> "What do you think?" V!Kyouko asks.

> You try to get out, and...
> ... it seems it's a giant ice cream.
> Sakura's head and Kokoro's pop out too.
> "W-Where did this came from?!" V!Sakura questions.
> "It's icecream." V!Kokoro simply says.

> "... Sorry."

> You plan, and definitely decide that it would be a good idea to ask to people that have more experience than you!


Quests

> The Fascinating Danmaku Festival of Fantasia.
>> In one month and a half, a "fantastic danmaku festival" it's going to be celebrated for Gensokyo's upcoming new year. Anyone can participate and it will be awesome. A team of five people is the max.
>> Time left before the festival: 42 days.

> Dear Mother...
>> Daiko's mother, Himiko Susumu, disappeared. He wants to find her at any costs. Her current whereabouts are unknown...

> Frozen Hell
>> The underworld is losing it's heat, and this problem will only get worse and reach Gensokyo if it continues. It seems linked to the Fairy World, so something must be done around that to stop it.

> Spirit Apprenticeship
>> Kira has given Daiko and Daiyousei gloves, which seem to have to do with controlling spirits. Although it isn't the most important problem, he has expressed that it wouldn't be very well if we gave poor results the next time he meets us.

> Lost Valuables
>> Daiko's belongings have been swiped from his pockets during a night stay at Mystia's stand. The strange winged Mamizou is a possible suspect, but regardless of who has them or where they are, they must be retrieved!

NEW! > Well excuse me! I am an amateur!
>> Daiko, an amateur like only that man can be at the moment, desires to learn more about his species and the abilities that they can possibly carry with them. Cirno and Letty are a good option to ask for Yuki-Onna or ice powers in general. Maybe Sakura, Yuugi and Suika could help with the Oni...?

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"I-It's a great start."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"I-I see..."

V!Mystia-Daiko:

>"Well... nothing else then?"

Daiko:

>"How about... could I get a bit of help looking for my belongings that went missing yesterday then?"

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"I-It's a great start."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"I-I see..."

V!Mystia-Daiko:

>"Well... nothing else then?"

Daiko:

>"How about... could I get a bit of help looking for my belongings that went missing yesterday then?"

> "I see... I do think so too..." V!Kyouko continues.
> "Though... We can imagine as we please here, right? After all, there is other me..."

> "... You know, I just had some kind of weird theory about that... thing that happened... About that 'energy' you got."

> "Sure." Mystia nods.
> "So what is that all about?" Kyouko asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"We can, I suppose. There doesn't seem like any limits at least."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Hm? Ah. I um, also lost all of my belongings on me yesterday. At Mystia's stand... I don't know how... We searched a lot for them..."

Daiko:

>"My things went missing yesterday. Just, all of a sudden. While we were getting bothered by something too..."
>What was all lost?

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"We can, I suppose. There doesn't seem like any limits at least."

>What was all lost?

> V!Kyouko grins more.
> "Don't you think I am a bit of a flat chested?"

> "B-Belongings?"

> The letter to Meiling from Orange... The letter that your mother left you... The blank spellcard...
> "Yea. that weird thing that happened..." Mystia sighs.
> "What thing?" Kokoro asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Y-You're cute, Kyouko."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Orange's letter to Meiling... A couple of things that were for me from mother... I'm sorry I lost them. I'm sorry I couldn't find them... I'm sorry I still can't find her..."

Daiko:

>Explain it.

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Y-You're cute, Kyouko."

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"Orange's letter to Meiling... A couple of things that were for me from mother... I'm sorry I lost them. I'm sorry I couldn't find them... I'm sorry I still can't find her..."

Daiko:

>Explain it.

> "Byakuren-sama tells me that way too often, yea." She smiles happily. "But aren't you curious?"

> "N-No! Don't worry about anything! W-We'll find everything sooner or later..."

> You explain...
> "Ooo... Well, I found my mask that is now yours at Senkai..." Kokoro tells.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Well, you can do as you please in here, I suspect. Give it a shot! In fact..."
>Have the other us separate and get some room, then imagine him as a her instead. We've pondered it before, and the spirit we threw off to Sakura got to change too.

V!FestivalDaiko:

>"But it was from mother. And I had just newly received them too..."

Daiko:

>"Your mask that's now mine?"

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

V!FestivalDaiko:

Daiko:

>"Your mask that's now mine?"

> You have the other you separate.
> Then will for him to become a her.
> ...
> ... It... does anything...

> "We will find it. Don't worry..."

> "The mask of hope that is no longer a mask of hope?"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Hmph... nothing..."

V!Festival-Daiko:

>"Okay..."

Daiko:

>"Senkai? Maybe the other things are there too? Can we check there? Ah! Can you give me the mask for a bit then?"

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Hmph... nothing..."

V!Festival-Daiko:

>"Okay..."

Daiko:

>"Senkai? Maybe the other things are there too? Can we check there? Ah! Can you give me the mask for a bit then?"

> It felt as if something wasn't letting you do the change...
> "What did you tried?" Asks V!Kyouko, who has not stopped doing her job, though gently.

> "S-So... Kokoro-chan?"
> "Haaai..."
> "Can you, uh... un... think this?"
> "Haaai..."
> The whole ice cream disappears.
> The other you is lying on the ground...

> "It's at Senkai, so okay." Kokoro nods.
