Wind Priestess Quest

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Definitely much warmer underground, closer to the core of the planet and no wind chill!"

>"That's great! I'm definitely looking forward to that then. It's freezing out here..."

>There's no way Utsuho taught me that, none.

>Nope. Definitely not. It's knowledge you learned in the outside world. Back when you used to go to school.

>"Hey, I've kinda got a few questions for you Kogasa. Mainly, how does you're umbrella body effect your human-like body?"

>"Well, I kinda feel everything the umbrella feels." Kogasa replies, "For instance, if the fabric gets torn, it hurts, and I might get a couple cuts or bruises. It works the other way around, too. If I get hurt, the umbrella will change to reflect my condition."

[WodofGar]

>"Never really understood that fully. I get that you share a consciousness, but which one is Kogasa? Like, which one is Kogasa?"
>Ogle the umbrella. Especially that giant tongue, whose idea was that?!

[Neovereign]

>"And how does it work out if it's raining? If it get's wet wouldn't you get wet too and defeat the purpose of it?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

_{//sorry for the delay, I've had a very stressful amount of homework recently.}

>"Never really understood that fully. I get that you share a consciousness, but which one is Kogasa? Like, which one is Kogasa?"

>"Well, we're sorta both Kogasa. It's kinda hard to explain..."

>Ogle the umbrella. Especially that giant tongue, whose idea was that?!

>You stare intently at the umbrella's long, slimy tongue. It's baffling why the tongue even exists, but it probably there for a reason. Your eyes glance up at the umbrella's eye and notice that it's actually staring back at you. It's kinda creepy...
 

>"And how does it work out if it's raining? If it get's wet wouldn't you get wet too and defeat the purpose of it?"

>"Oh, the umbrella still keeps me dry when it rains... Please don't ask me to explain any further. It's complicated..."

^{//we all have, it's usually ENGLISH}
>Use a miracle to cure the oncoming insanity from thinking too hard.
>"I don't think I want to ask anyway..."

[Neovereign]

>Nah we need to think harder. Like what if Kasen is a Chuunibyou who thinks her arm is possessed? Or Pyonta is actually the Hakurei God? Or if Yukari is related to Maribel !? But that's just a conspiracy, A MORIYA SHRINE CONSPIRACY! THANKS FOR PLAYING!
>"Thanks for the explanations, but why would someone throw you away if you worked perfectly? W-wait sorry, I-I didn't mean to go into anything personal there."

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>Awkward silence forever.
>Are we there yet?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Use a miracle to cure the oncoming insanity from thinking too hard.

>Done.

>"I don't think I want to ask anyway..."

>"Good."

>Nah we need to think harder. Like what if Kasen is a Chuunibyou who thinks her arm is possessed? Or Pyonta is actually the Hakurei God? Or if Yukari is related to Maribel !? But that's just a conspiracy, A MORIYA SHRINE CONSPIRACY! THANKS FOR PLAYING!

>Begin new game plus?

>"Thanks for the explanations, but why would someone throw you away if you worked perfectly? W-wait sorry, I-I didn't mean to go into anything personal there."

>Cue feelsy flashback music.
>"N-no... It's fine... really... I wasn't really thrown away, per say... You see, a long time ago there was this terrible storm. That day the wind was just horrible... It was so intense that it just took one, well placed gust to sweep me out of my owner's hands, and it carried me far away... I landed on the side of a road, and it was there that I waited... Waited for someone to pick me up... To use me... But that day never came. All who passed by didn't want me, maybe it was my color, or maybe it was because I was a bit old and slightly torn... Anyway, I did the only thing I could do. I kept waiting... And one day I just ceased to be the umbrella and became a tsukumogami..."

>Awkward silence forever.
>Are we there yet?

>The two of you remain quiet for several minutes.
>You are about five minutes away.
>_

[WodofGar]

>Things are awkward, SMOOTH SANAE ACTIVATE!
>"I w-would have picked you up..."

[Neovereign]

>And this was the music I listened to for backing up the flashback.
>"Even if I couldn't use you I still would've tried to fix you and return you to your owner."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Things are awkward, SMOOTH SANAE ACTIVATE!
>"I w-would have picked you up..."

>"Even if I couldn't use you I still would've tried to fix you and return you to your owner."

>"Oh... Well that's nice to hear..." Kogasa responds before quickly changing the subject, "Are we there yet?"
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Yeah, I think that's it just up ahead..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yeah, I think that's it just up ahead..."

>"Good. I'm looking forward to the warmth..."
>Within minutes, the two of you arrive at the hot springs and land in front of the entrance to the underground. The warmth of the steam feels refreshing.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Yeah, that steam is nice..."
>LOOK AROUND!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yeah, that steam is nice..."

>"I agree" says Kogasa.

>LOOK AROUND!

>It looks no different than when you were last here. In front of you is the fissure that is the underground entrance. Around you are hot springs of various sizes, and very little snow. The geyser is still there as well.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Well, let's get going shall we?"
>Descend into the cavern.

[Neovereign]

>Clich? steam skirt lift
>"Also, make sure to watch your head."

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>"The umbrella, too."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well, let's get going shall we?"
>Descend into the cavern.

>The two of you fly down into the cave. Once again, you feel the temperature grow gradually warmer as you descend.

>Clich? steam skirt lift

>Kogasa gets a nosebleed so strong that it provides enough blood to feed small village of vampires for several generations. She also dies of blood loss.

>Subject: Sanae Kochiya
>Status: Terminated.
>Reason: Subject failed to preserve "mission critical" personnel.

>GAME OVER!

>"Also, make sure to watch your head."

>"The umbrella, too."

>"Huh? Why?" Kogasa asks just as you begin to hear a familiar, faint swooshing noise from somewhere behind you.
>_

[WodofGar]

>Duck
>"Duck!"
>GOOSE!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Duck
>"Duck!"
>GOOSE!

>You quickly get down while simultaneously shouting to Kogasa.
>"Huh!? -AAGH!" Kogasa yelps as you hear something smack into her.
>"Yeeeeeeehaaaaaw! Look Yamame! I did it again!" you hear the familiar voice of Kisume exclaim in triumph.
>_

[WodofGar]

>Well, we tried.
>"Oh shhhh-, you okay?!"

[Neovereign]

>"Pfftahaha!" Try to hold in our laugh.
>"Hey again you two."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

_{//Again, sorry for the late reply - college life stuff.}

>Well, we tried.

>She should've listened better...

>"Oh shhhh-, you okay?!"

>"Pfftahaha!" Try to hold in our laugh.

>You turn around and check on Kogasa. A smirk draws over your face as you struggle to keep your impending bouts of laughter inside,
>"Ugh. Yeah, I think so..." Kogasa replies as she picks herself off the ground, rubbing the back of her head, "What was that?"
>"IT WAS ME!!" Kisume shouts, causing Kogasa to stumble with an "Eeep!".

>"Hey! No fair!" Kogasa exclaims, "I'm the one supposed to do the surprising around here!"
>"Really? You're pretty jumpy for someone who's supposed to be surprising!"
>"Jumpy!?! Why you-!"

>Just as  Kogasa lunges toward the hanging bucket, a white glob zips down from above and strikes her with amazing accuracy, and explodes into a white cloud of smoke. When the smoke clears, you see that, Kogasa is pinned to the ground by some kind of web-like net...
>"I'm sorry, but even though my friend can be a bit irritating at times, I will not allow you hurt her." says a voice calmly from above, you recognize it as Yamame's

>"Hey again you two."

>You address the youkai duo just as Yamame descends into view, dangling on her strange string.
>"Hello again..." she says, before exchanging glances between you and Kogasa, "Oh...! Is this your friend? If so, I'm sorry I had to do that, but she's a surface-youkai, and it looked like she was going to try and hurt Kisume... I hope you can understand."

>"Wait. You know these people!?" Kogasa asks.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Kogasa, you should really control your temper. Lashing out at people just because they try to surprise you. Who would do such a thing?" Look away innocently
>"Well, this is Kogasa, and she's coming with me to scare some folk. It'd also be nice if we could get past that Percy girl at the bridge. She seemed so bored that maybe even Kogasa could surprise her."
>"But if that doesn't work, I'm afraid we might have to fight to get past. It seems there really is something going on there, and this is the only clue we have as to why the surface has been freezing in the wrong season."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Kogasa, you should really control your temper. Lashing out at people just because they try to surprise you. Who would do such a thing?" Look away innocently

>Though you can't see it, you feel Kogasa is giving you a look...

>"Well, this is Kogasa, and she's coming with me to scare some folk. It'd also be nice if we could get past that Percy girl at the bridge. She seemed so bored that maybe even Kogasa could surprise her."

>"Percy...? Oh-!" Yamame chuckles, "You mean Parsee? She's not going to be happy if she knew you called her that. Hehehehehe..." she turns to Kogasa "Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Kogasa. Now, I'm going to remove this web. You won't try to hurt my friend when I do, will you?"
>"I won't..." Kogasa replies.
>"Good."

>"But if that doesn't work, I'm afraid we might have to fight to get past. It seems there really is something going on there, and this is the only clue we have as to why the surface has been freezing in the wrong season."

>"Well, if it ever comes to that, then it might be easier for you if you exploit Parsee's flaw to your advantage." says Yamame as she removes her web from Kogasa.

>"Why do I get the feeling that information isn't free?"
>Give them the puppy dog eyes, if worse comes to worst.

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>"Why do I get the feeling that information isn't free?"

>Let's bribe everyone. Good idea.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Why do I get the feeling that information isn't free?"
>Give them the puppy dog eyes, if worse comes to worst.

>"Huh? What are you talking abo- Oh! Right. I forgot that you're from the surface... I just assumed you already knew about Parsee's flaw. You see, practically everyone down here knows about it."

>Let's bribe everyone. Good idea.

>Relevant.

[WodofGar]

>"Uhhh, my shrine has relations with the underground, does that count?"
