>"Well, the answer is no, not really," says Nue. "I can kind of do it if I saw her. But if you need me to get it close, it would take me a few hours, especially if you wanted me to get her voice. And I would need some of her clothes, anyways."

>Nue nods. "Yeah. But, I think we can pull this off one way or another. If you can get me some clothes, and a picture, I can probably mimick her good enough to get a quick reaction out of Aya. The hair should be easy, hair's always easy. And I'm good enough at body types I can do pretty much anything decently, as long as no one looks too long. The question is, what next?"

Keeping both of us in front of her will get her to lower her guard the most, which could allow someone very stealthy to sneak up on her and get a picture if she's too busy being angry at Hatate."

I know I'm not supposed to because it would be rather out of character as well as incredibly awkward on the extreme off-chance it actually succeeded, but man do I want to hoist the anchor on the IkuTen ship and let it set sail. D: (And no, this is not about what I wish to speak with Tenshi.)

So what issues are there left to take care of? On the minor side of things, we STILL need to return Yuugi's hit list (should we do this right now, perhaps?), and we'll need to get Chen a fish. The majors, obviously, are the restoration of Bhava-Agra (which seems incredibly close to happening), finding a way to get Feisty Geist active in the world, getting a picture of Aya and everything surrounding the circumstances of getting her back in jail, and informing Remilia as to the changing status of the Bhavagran islands. I can't actually think of anything else.

If Iku gets into a relationship, it'd probably be the other person instigating it, I would think. That said, I think you guys did a pretty good job of making Tenshi reevaluate her opinion of Iku: continue supporting her, and who knows?

As for things to do... ask Nue if she knows where Yuugi stomps around, because I'm pretty sure Tenshi and Iku don't. I'm also not very clear on how you're going to deal with Aya and Tenma without making one of the parties pissed off (Tenma's probably already going to be pissed, anyways), but I don't have the background with this game that you do.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #168 on:** April 11, 2011, 05:16:17 PM »

I think that's pretty much it, Kilga. And we're close to the biggest one (restoring Bhava-Agra's shadow).

This is the goal of what I have planned for her before we separate. It will involve a symbolic act for the characters that may seem a little silly to Tenshi (and I will be sure to preface it as such), but I believe she will really appreciate the idea behind it.

If it's Parsee, stop by her and ask her about Yuugi. I want to dump that list sooner rather than later.
