Reimu Quest (Part 9)

[日巫子]

>"Write your answer to that last question in the ground, if you can."

> The crow continues picking at its feathers.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Heh, okay. Now, I want you to point your beak toward the Dragon God."
>Prepare for another screech.

[日巫子]

>"Heh, okay. Now, I want you to point your beak toward the Dragon God."
>Prepare for another screech.

> The crow screeches again.  Luckily, you've gotten used to this by now.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Okay. Point your beak in the direction of Yukari."
>Prepare for another screech.

[日巫子]

>"Okay. Point your beak in the direction of Yukari."
>Prepare for another screech.

> The bird turns around in circles, looks around, flaps its wings, and lets out a CAaAAaaW.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Are you saying she's everywhere? Bob your head three times if that's right, once if it's not."

[日巫子]

>"Are you saying she's everywhere? Bob your head three times if that's right, once if it's not."

> The crow bobs its head once.

[Sect]

> "Is she here but you just don't know where she is? Bob three times if that's right and once if it's not."

[日巫子]

> "Is she here but you just don't know where she is? Bob three times if that's right and once if it's not."

> The crow bobs its head three times.

[Sect]

> "Huh. Well I'll be..."

Try to see if we can will a gap to wherever Yukari is? Or is the gapplace she's in connected to the dreamworld already? Actually, those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

[日巫子]

> "Huh. Well I'll be..."

> Perhaps the crow just doesn't know where she is?  You're not sure what to make of this.
> The crow struts around on the road in front of you; its movements remind you of a wind-up toy.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

Either Yukari or Yukka, I suppose.

[Sect]

Want to try making a gap appear? If it works then awesome, if it doesn't then oh well. Something bad or unexpected might happen, but it's worth a shot.

[Hello Purvis]

I tried making a gap back when we first learned it was a dream, had no joy. But go for it if you think you can handle it, I may have just done it wrong.

[Sect]

We can give it another shot, now that we know vaguely where Yukari is.

> Turn away from Compass the Crow, and let's open up a gap the same way Ran did to Yukari's gapspace.

[日巫子]

> Turn away from Compass the Crow, and let's open up a gap the same way Ran did to Yukari's gapspace.

> You ignore the crow while you try and open up a gap.  You imagine the same process Ran used.
> The air in front of you contorts and twists, and a tear the size of your palm opens up in front of you.  Your ears ring, and stars swarm your vision.

> _

[Sect]

> Ow. Peek inside the tear.

[日巫子]

> Ow. Peek inside the tear.

> You look inside the tear, and a thousand eyes against a purple background look back at you.

> _

[O4rfish]

We should also ask about Kanako.

[Hello Purvis]

>Give our senses a moment to clear up.
>Then turn to Compass and say, "I would like you to point your beak toward Kanako Yasaka, please. Bob your head three times if you can't."
>Prepare for another shriek.

[日巫子]

>Give our senses a moment to clear up.
>Then turn to Compass and say, "I would like you to point your beak toward Kanako Yasaka, please. Bob your head three times if you can't."
>Prepare for another shriek.

> You sway back and forth for a few moments before turning back to the crow.  You ask for Kanako, and it responds by screeching at you.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

Okay, so. If we're gonna use this thing, first we're gonna have to widen it. But assuming we do, what comes next? Do we actually have anything to say to Yukari except "fuck you, you stole my property"?

[Sect]

Tell her about the drawing. Then get our orb and the shards back. Then kick her in the shin or something.

[Hello Purvis]

Alright. Just wanted to be sure what the plan was.

>Let's take a moment and focus ourself, and try to get into a calm and focuses mindset. Then will that gap to widen.

[日巫子]

>Let's take a moment and focus ourself, and try to get into a calm and focuses mindset. Then will that gap to widen.

> You focus on the gap.  You want it to get bigger.
> The gap stretches wider, further distorting the air around it into a blur of color.  You feel a sharp pain in your head.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Take a breather, and see if we can coax that pain away a bit. Also check our progress.

[日巫子]

>Take a breather, and see if we can coax that pain away a bit. Also check our progress.

> You try waiting for the pain to go away.  As it gradually dies down, you look at the gap.  It has grown to the size of a watermelon.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Improvement!
>Center ourself again, and prepare ahead of time to fight off the pain, then get back to opening that gap.

[日巫子]

>Improvement!
>Center ourself again, and prepare ahead of time to fight off the pain, then get back to opening that gap.

> You keep at it.  The further the gap opens, the dizzier and weaker you feel, despite your best preparations.  By the time it's the size of a wagon wheel, you feel yourself break out into a cold sweat.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>How high off the ground is it?
