Rumia Quest II: Widening Darkness [Complete]

[Darkoda]

>"Kay~"
>Down the rabbit hole!

[Raikaria]

>"Kay~"
>Down the rabbit hole!

> Sukia nods. "Sounds like you understand. I think..."

> You go down the rabbithole, and begin your trip to the wonderland at the bottom. After a while, you start feeling a breeze from below, and the hole turns from pitch black to a faint blue light.

[Darkoda]

>Step into the light

[nolrai2]

> What's our opinion of sake?

[Raikaria]

> What's our opinion of sake?

> All you know is it's something the big Youkai and humans drink. You don't know much else. Except Sukia and this Yuugi character seem to really like it.

>Step into the light

> There is no light to step into, the surroundings have turned into a bluer hue as you descend. As such, you keep descending, the wind getting gradually stronger, but nothing to stop your advance.

> You see a bucket rise from above, with a green thing poking out of it. Once it's level with your group, it starts floating downwards with you, keeping a distance, but level in terms of height.

[Darkoda]

>Wave to the green thing
>"Hey there!"

[Raikaria]

>Wave to the green thing
>"Hey there!"

> There is no response to your wave.

> "Scary..." it says quietly. Also, but bucket isn't green, it's normal brown coulor. There's a tuft of green sticking out of the top of it.

> "Hey, I think I remember Reimu talking about a bucketloli or something like that! I wonder if this is her?" Sukia said.

> A head pops out of the bucket, before it throws a fireball towards Sukia. "Don't call me that!" she says, very quietly. Sukia just blows the fireball out effortlessly.

> "I swear she's weaker than you guys..." Sukia slurred.

> "Scary..." the 'bucketloli' said, popping her head back inside.

[Darkoda]

>"Sorry!" Speak just loudly enough for her to hear easily
>"Hey, have you seen a shrine maiden in red and white or a white-haired satori with a black hat?"

[Raikaria]

>"Sorry!" Speak just loudly enough for her to hear easily
>"Hey, have you seen a shrine maiden in red and white or a white-haired satori with a black hat?"

> "Uuuuuu..." you hear the voice from the bucket whimper.

> "I've seen a scary miko in red and white before... but you're the first ones I've seen today. But that description seems like Miss Koishi... so I wouldn't have seen her unless she wanted to be seen..." the bucketloli says from within her bucket.

[Darkoda]

>"Ah, that's true."
>"Do you know where Koishi's sister lives?"

[Raikaria]

>"Ah, that's true."
>"Do you know where Koishi's sister lives?"

> "I don't go much further down than this, too scary, especially the green-eyed one. All I know is she lives in the city at the bottom."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"City at the bottom? Maybe some people there know where Koishi's sister lives!"

[Raikaria]

>"City at the bottom? Maybe some people there know where Koishi's sister lives!"

> "Yeah, Yuugi lives in the Ancient City! There's a lot of different youkai there, but it's also where the Oni, besides me, live!" Sukia said happily.

> "You'll have to get past the green-eyes..." the bucket-girl said, no longer following. "Bye... I don't go lower than this."

[Darkoda]

>"Bye! Thanks for the help!"

[Raikaria]

>"Bye! Thanks for the help!"

> "Yeah... bye." you hear, just about.

> You keep going down.

> "This dosen't feel right... flying underground. I'm a bird Youkai..." Mystcia said.

> "It's not easy for me to fly down when the wind is blowing up..." Kogasa said. She had been occasionally yanking her umbrella to pull it down through the wind.

> "I think it's not much further now, stop moaning..." Sukia said.

[Darkoda]

>"Huh? Doesn't feel odd to me..might be because I'm a darkness youkai."
>"Anyway, we're almost there! And all of us together can handle anything!"
>Forward!

[Raikaria]

>"Huh? Doesn't feel odd to me..might be because I'm a darkness youkai."
>"Anyway, we're almost there! And all of us together can handle anything!"
>Forward!

> Indeed, you feel pretty comfortable down here, although you understand why Mystcia, as a bird, might feel a bit odd, you find it funny watching Kogasa struggle to pull her umbrella through the wind. Wriggle seems fine.

> "I'm not so sure you lot could handle me if I decided you shouldn't be coming down here." Sukia slurred, adding "Remeber how easily I stopped you all flying after Koishi?"

> You keep descending. The blue glow turns green, and you land on the bottom of the tunnel.

> Ahead of you there is a large bridge, which seems to lead to another hole. The only way to proceed is going over, or flying over said bridge. You can make out a figure sitting at the side of the bridge, legs dangleing over.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Wave at the figure, "Hiya!"
>Whisper to Suika, "Do you know who that is?"

[Raikaria]

>Wave at the figure, "Hiya!"
>Whisper to Suika, "Do you know who that is?"

> You wave towards the figure, and shout Hi, she turns. When you see her face, even from this distance, you can tell something. Green Eyes.

> "Parsee, the self-proclaimed guardian of the Bridge, and a Youkai who represents the Sin of Envy. You probobly didn't want to get her attention." Sukia said. "She's pretty strong, and slightly insane."

> Parsee flies towards your group, looking at Sukia.

> "Hello there... I wish I had that much sake... I'm so envious of you..." she said, her eyes glowing faintly.

[Darkoda]

>"Is sake that interesting?" Huh, maybe we should sneak some sometime.
>"I'm Rumia, and this is Wriggle, Kogasa, Mystia and Suika. Can we cross your bridge?"

[Raikaria]

>"Is sake that interesting?" Huh, maybe we should sneak some sometime.
>"I'm Rumia, and this is Wriggle, Kogasa, Mystia and Suika. Can we cross your bridge?"

> "It's more the fact that she has more than I've ever owned... paruparuparu...."

> "What nice names... I'm so envious..." Parsee says, her eyes glowing a bit brighter. "Why should I let you pass? You seem to have everything you want up there..."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Your name's pretty nice too! And those glowy eyes...I'm just a little jealous of those too. I wouldn't bump into so many trees if I had glowy eyes like those."

[Raikaria]

>"Your name's pretty nice too! And those glowy eyes...I'm just a little jealous of those too. I wouldn't bump into so many trees if I had glowy eyes like those."

> Parsee remains quiet, although the glowing in her eyes reduces a bit.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Really! Watch!"
>Cover the area in a darkness bubble!

[Raikaria]

>"Really! Watch!"
>Cover the area in a darkness bubble!

> You cover the area in darkness. However, as you are all youkai, you can all see rather well still.

> "Fancy trick... I'm so envious..." Parsee mutters, her eyes glowing bighter again.

[Hanzo K.]

(But it's stated that Rumia can't see through her own darkness, and neither can most youkai. :V)

[Darkoda]

>Indeed, when did we lose the ability to make darkness thick enough to blind everyone?

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Say, Parsee, did you see a red-white miko and a silvery-haired Satori come by here? Because we were with them and we're kind of lagging.."

[Raikaria]

(But it's stated that Rumia can't see through her own darkness, and neither can most youkai. :V)

(My mistake, although Rumia can now see in her own darkness. Besides, said Darkness isn't pitch-black, it's dusk-like)

>Indeed, when did we lose the ability to make darkness thick enough to blind everyone?

> You were never strong enough for pitch-black darkness, at least, as far as you know.

>"Say, Parsee, did you see a red-white miko and a silvery-haired Satori come by here? Because we were with them and we're kind of lagging.."

> I haven't seen them go by, although I've seen plenty of others...

[Darkoda]

>That's odd, though they could be hiding with Koishi's power....
>"Then we might get there before them! Do you know where the Satori live?"
