Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 16

//I'm fine with either at this point, though I don't know how Yumemi will react if we suddenly expose ourselves... If there was another path, we could unfuse with Mima and have her flank her from the other direction in case Miss Strawberry Print Panties is trigger happy or tries to run when we reveal ourselves...

>Yeah, it can definitely wait ~ze. This is just too suspicious to ignore now.
>Does there seem to be a pathway that could be used to approach Yumemi from the other direction?

> Yumemi seems to be heading to one with multiple hallways. If you could get there undetected, you would have multiple options.
> Mima nods.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Hmm... Well neither of us know the layout, and multiple hallways mean more potential escape routes if she decides to run... So attempting to use Mima to flank is you guys' call.

//Also if we're revealing ourselves now, may I do the honors? Because I thought of something good to say if we do it right now lol

[Suwako Moriya]

//I would prefer to keep Mima as a surprise ace in the hole if at all possible. Also, my reveal line was gonna be something along the lines of "So what am I not gonna like if I found out?" but I'm not terribly attached to it.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Mine was along the lines of "You know, you should really learn to look behind you when you're having a conversation you don't want someone to hear..."
//Your line meshes pretty well if added at the end of this lol

[Monarda]

//So are we done with the chatter about that ? If so i will wait here for you to apply the plan.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//So have we come to a decision? I'm not doing anything until I know concisely what we're going to do.

>What is our top non-broom flight speed while fused with Mima? Could it easily outpace someone like Yumemi if she decides to run?
>Do we have our broom with us? If so, how does our top speed on that compare and how fast can we mount it?
>How much room to maneuver is there in the hallway?

> You aren't sure...
> You have your broom with you, in hand. You can easily and very quickly get onto it and away. You doubt Mima's influence would let you fly faster compared to your broom, since you're faster than most flyers in Gensokyo with it.
> The hallways are roomy and fairly large.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Are we capable of stopping on a dime on our broom? Or will attempting that just fling us off the broom?

//So... again, are we decided? Are we trailing or revealing?

> You can come to a screeching quickish halt, but not a sudden stop.

[Monarda]

//Either is fine by me, although i would prefer trailing her so that she might lead us to where Rika and the others are, this plcae is really big you know.

[Suwako Moriya]

//I'd only reveal once the conversation is done.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Well, the conversation IS done... Yumemi put the thing back in her pocket.

[Suwako Moriya]

//In that case, I have no strong opinion. Either is fine by me.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//So literally all three of us are indecisive right now. XD

//Well, might as well weigh the pros and cons and go from there...

//If we trail, we could potentially learn more by eavesdropping, but there is always the risk we're going to get noticed sooner or later. Also, she won't necessarily lead us to the others or the prisoner if we trail her. And if she does, at that point we will be outnumbered should conflict arise.

//On the other hand, if we reveal ourselves now, we could learn more by interrogation, and we would have a better chance of winning if it somehow erupts into a fight... However, there is also the chance that she could take off running (Though there is enough room and we are fast enough to cut off her escape), fight, or call for backup. There is also the chance that she won't run or fight, and will just relent. Besides, she is the leader of everyone here, so if we manage to sway her (peacefully or not) we could probably get the others to not get in our way.

//Again, I'm fine with either method, (Though I am leaning slightly more towards reveal, but this is offset by Raf currently leaning slightly towards trail, meaning Kilga is the deciding vote unless we agree on something...) but perhaps this will help us come up with a plan of action.



//Also, as a third option, we could also just fly up to her, touch her, have Mima surprise fuse her, then we could get the information from her, AND the others probably won't attack us lest they risk hurting her in addition to us.

//Wouldn't be happening if you had clones to do your work for you.  :3
Or maybe it still would...

[Suwako Moriya]

//Hmm, I may be having second thoughts on a certain approach....

> How reflective are the surfaces around here?
> Lady Mima, if we get close enough to Yumemi, do you think you could get both of us inside her?

[Neovereign]

//Hmm, I may be having second thoughts on a certain approach....

> How reflective are the surfaces around here?
> Lady Mima, if we get close enough to Yumemi, do you think you could get both of us inside her?

> There are no reflective surfaces nearby.
> "Not sure if I can do it without contact..." Mima says.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> How quickly can you do it? Contact might not matter if we're fast enough.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I like what you're thinking Kilga, but there are obvious flaws here... For instance, Yumemi will still primarily have control if we fuse with her as opposed to fusing her with us.

>We are still keeping pace with Yumemi as to not lose sight of her, yes?

> You are.
> "I'm sure I can do it fast." Mima smiles. "And it looks like we're finally gonna do something."
> Yumemi puts the device away and continues walking.

[Suwako Moriya]

//I don't want control, I want her to bring us to wherever she's going while being able to listen to her thoughts (which Mima knows how to do) and while increasing our chances of not getting caught (or, if we are caught, decreasing her ability to do anything about it).

[Suwako Moriya]

> Okay. Take control of me and get us inside her as fast as you can. Even if she feels the contact, hopefully you'll be done before she sees us. If we can't communicate once we're inside, I trust you to know when to let us out.
> Let Mima have control of our body.

> Let Mima have control of our body.

> "So we're trying not to be noticed huh..." Mima says as you allow any influences to move your body.
> Mima casually floats to Yumemi's back and touches the back of her neck, fusing with her about a second later.
> Yumemi jumps and looks behind her, before continuing forwards and messing with the back neck part of her outfit.
> "Alright, that good enough?" Mima asks.
> You are within the null-space of Yumemi it seems. Mima however, is still in that void in you.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> To Mima only: Nice! Yeah, this works.
> Try listening to Yumemi's thoughts.

[Neovereign]

> To Mima only: Nice! Yeah, this works.
> Try listening to Yumemi's thoughts.

> Mima smiles.
> You think about what Yumemi is thinking about...
> I don't have a tag still on, do I? Yumemi thinks. Haah... Maybe we shouldn't be trying this for Marisa. Things could get screwed up easily... ...Speaking of which...
> Yumemi pulls out her device and speaks into it again.
> "Chiyuri, I'll be there in a bit to check on her."
> "You're not going to sleep yet?" Chiyuri asks.
> "No. It's better to stay up in case Marisa comes back." A coma that spreads though? Yumemi looks back towards the exit of the hypervessel.
> "Okay."
> Yumemi pockets the device once more and continues.

[Suwako Moriya]

> To Mima only: Sounds like we made the right choice. Guess we'll find out who else is here soon enough...
> Continue listening to Yumemi's thoughts as she goes wherever she's going.

> Continue listening to Yumemi's thoughts as she goes wherever she's going.

> Yumemi sighs as she continues through the hypervessel. We can just forget all of this when we return to Gensokyo...
> Soon, Yumemi reaches a locked door, and knocks on it.
> "Hey, Chiyuri. I'm here." Yumemi speaks loud and clear. Hope everything's alright.
> "I got it." You hear a voice that sounds vaguely familiar.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Is it the voice from the object in Yumemi's pocket?
> Wait for the door to open.
