4:> "Like being eaten?" Flora asks.
> Giggle a bit.
> "I think it's kinda cute, at least. But, uhh, I thought you were gonna try, like, inside inside."
> If we can, snake an arm back through its sleeve inside our dress and lightly rub up and down our front for emphasis.
Sumidai-chan:> You wait until they stop as if the red light above stopped them directly, and it looks like you're free to go past.
>Is someone also waiting at the crosswalk ? If so just follow their lead.
>If not, look around for something that seems to tell when to cross.
Sumidai-chan:> You pass the road, observing the area as you go through. There's not many people out here.
>Do so, then continue looking around with a amused face.
4:> You shrug. You're starting to sweat like this. The fan isn't helping much with the door closed either. It's like it's blowing hot air.
> Shrug.
> "I guess? That was why I was curious what you were gonna do."
Sumidai-chan:> You continue looking around. Soon, you hear a small noise. Almost like an animal.
>Keep looking around, if after a while nothing too attention-grabbing comes, head back to their home.
4:> You use your Cirno magic to cool some.
> Use our Cirno magic to cool ourselves a bit.
> "Won't know unless we try, right?"
Sumidai-chan:> You start to search for the noise, waiting for it to make it again before following again.
>"Huh ?"
>Look around, search for the source of the noise and carefully head there.
Dai-chan 4:> Flora herself is sweating some, and the room is a bit warm, thanks to Dai X having left previously (now returned, fused with Flora.) and the fan blowing hot air.
>Is the heat coming from Flora ?
SumiBug:
> ???
> Run toward the dead end to investigate!
Sumidai-chan:> You quickly run towards the dead end, finding a man with a firearm and a small cat.
>Can we notice anything there in the dead end ?
4:> You do.
> "Oh, I could prevent that easily enough."
X:
> Do we have Patchouli magic?
> Use our Cirno magic to cool Flora off.
//on break> You ponder if Belgrade could help you and Medicine with this...
4:
>ponder having Belgrade help Medicine and Medibug in their doll freeing. It could be some nice mother-daughter-new friend bonding...
SumiBug:> The small cat seems deceased, as it's not moving and... it's bloody...
> Is the cat still alive?
> Is the man shooting at the cat?
//Aww. Well, a time rewind is possible, I suppose, if y'all wanna do it.> "I don't think I wanna be in a mouth though..." Flora says.
4:
> "Yep! I mean, if you still don't want to try it, that's up to you, but yeah, I can."
//Well, if we wanna do it, we'd have to use a localized bubble like with Medicine and the package, or else we'd risk a paradox.> Nothing seems wrong with the village.
//Inb4 it's a cat with rabies
Secunde:
>Any problems with the village yet?
>Still raining?
4:> "Um, my dress is already kinda wet too..." Flora frowns a bit.
> "Oh, hmm, that would be kinda unavoidable. Well, you wouldn't be in there for very long, I guess."
SumiDai:> He seems to be standing in the same position.
>Has the man seen us yet?
4:> You ungrow your dress as Flora leaves it.
> Ungrow our own dress, then shrug.
> "That doesn't bother me much."
4:> "Okay." Flora agrees.
> "Oh. I could lend you one of mine afterward, in that case. In your size, of course."
4:> Everyone seems to be sleeping well. They might be sweating...
>How's the family faring?
Sumibug:> He could.
>If he looks in our direction, can he easily see us?
>Is there a place where we can quickly conceal ourselves?
Sumibug:> You retreat behind a trashcan and feel pain in your feet. It hurts a lot, but you shouldn't be seen easily...
>Get behind a trashcan and try to observe.
//SumiBug can turn invisible with Sunny's magic, just FYI.> Flora looks up to you, then shakes her head.
4:
> "All right. Go on and try, then!"
4:> "There's no way I'm gonna fit." Flora frowns.
> Put on a mildly disappointed look.
> "Huh?"
Sumibug:> You inspect your feet. One foot is bleeding from two spots, and there's a small shard of glass stuck in one of the spots.
>Look at our feet and inspect.
4:> "But I'm way too big." Flora argues.
> "Like I said, you won't know unless you try."
Sumibug:> You pull the small piece of glass out of your foot, then stop time in a bubble around your foot, before rewinding it. Another piece of glass removes itself from your foot, and the bleeding stops.
>Pull the glass out.
>Rewind time in a localized bubble around our foot until the wound heals.
4:> Flora maintains her frown.
> Grin (non-threateningly).
> "You might be surprised..."
Sumibug:> You set your foot down and approach the cat.
>Set our foot down, be careful not to step on any more glass.
>Approach the cat, watching our step for other sharp pieces of trash.
>Examine dead cat.
Sumibug:> You create a set of Flan clones, then stop time in a bubble around the small kitten.
>Poor thing...
>Create a set of flan clones to provide more power.
>Create a time bubble around the kitten.
>Try to rewind all its injuries away with our combined Sakuya magic.
>Once we're done or can't go further, unfreeze the cat and dismiss our flan clones. Attempt to pick up the cat gently if it's alive.
Sumibug:> You pet the kitten. It's soft and warm.
>Smile.
>Pet the kitten.
>"Aren't you an adorable little thing..."
Sumidai-chan:> You start to head back to the house with the kitten.
>"Let's take you home okay ?"
>Head back with tge cute kitten.
Sumidai-chan:> It does not.
>"You shouldn't be here outside by yourself, i bet Onee-chan can help."
>Does it have a collar ?
Sumidai-chan:> You cross the road as you head home.
>Cross the road and keep heading home.
>Gently caress the cat.
>"Do you have a name ? Hm... maybe i could take you to Miss Satori too."
4:> You leave your mouth open, and Flora flies up a bit. She puts a part of her hand in your mouth, and you attempt to use Sanae magic for a miracle.
> Nod, leaving our mouth wide open for Flora.
> If Flora starts trying to enter, start using miracle magic and hoping for a miracle that she is actually able to go in.
Sumidai-chan:
>"Aww...."
>Smile.
>Examine cute kitten.
Sumibug:> You stop and examine the cute kitten.
>Ponder if we can communicate with the cat if we fusioned with it.
>Is it a boy or a girl?
//And with that, I'm going to work. I won't be back for about 8 hours. But I'll pop in on breaks
4:> You attempt to use a miracle to make your body stretchy, however, it doesn't work.
> Try using miracle magic to make our body really stretchy.
4:> You begin to grow yourself with the growth magic.
> Start growing ourselves using growth magic.
Sumidai-chan:
>"Hmm, i wonder if you are hungry..."
>Walk forward a bit more then stop time briefly and take a look behind us.
//We might be lacking the faith to do said miracle.
//I have a few minutes before my shift begins.> You do.
Sumibug:
>Do we still have Sakuya magic?
>if so stop time and check behind us
Sumidai-chan:> You return and resume time.
>Return to how we were and resume time.
>Quicken our pace just a bit more, then look around and behind us.
> When time unfreezes...> "It still looks like too much right now..." Flora says.
4:
> Flash Flora a thumbs-up, and smile as best we can with her hand in our mouth.
4:> You continue growing.
> Continue growing, kneeling down if we have to to avoid bonking our head on the ceiling.
X:
> Don't worry! Keep going!
4:> You continue growing.
> Beat (while continuing to grow).
X:
> Try using both hands if you can.
X:> "This is still starting to feel a bit weird." Flora says.
> There you go, that's it!
4:> It feels... gross. It's a bit tough to breathe like this.
> How does it feel for us?
> Keep growing.
X:
> I guess that no one has ever done this before to tell us what it would be like...
4:> You start to breathe through your nose.
> Try breathing through our nose to see if that helps.
X:
> Maybe...I don't know who we could have asked, though. Anyway, try continuing if you can.
4:> You continue growing, sitting down to allow more room.
> Beat.
Dai-chan Secunde:> The fairies seem to have set rules based on what you've said earlier. The writing isn't the best.
>What sort of rules ? Let's take a look !
Sumidai-chan:> You continue on.
>Hmmm, let's just keep going back then.
>How is our cat ?
>"So you're stray right ? You have no collar and all that."
X:> "I don't think I can yet..." Flora says.
> Go ahead and keep going.
//I'll put my actions in Dai-chan Secunde to a minimum, let me just get some orientations out.> "Okay." The fairies nod.
Dai-chan Secunde:
>"Hmm.... you are getting the idea, and about the killing, as long as you didn't mean to do that and it was an accident, then i guess you can be forgiven, just be really careful."
>Smile.
>"And good fairies also don't steal, and try to help people that seem to need help."
Sumidai-chan:> The house is in view. Not long.
>"Aww... you're such a cutie ! I will get you a great home !"
>How much further do we have to walk ?
4:> You continue growing.
> Keep growing, ducking our head if necessary.
Sumidai-chan:> You look around. The man seems to be gone, and no one else is around.
>Look around, behind us and above us one last time.
>Keep petting the kitten.
4:> You keep growing. You don't think you would be able to fit Flora in your mouth in your house, but it's still pouring outside.
> Beat (while continuing to grow).
4:> You continue growing, getting lower as required.
> Keep growing anyway. Again, duck our head if we need to, or just lean our entire upper body forward.
X:
> Begin shrinking Flora (and ourselves to not take up too much room inside her).
//On lunch.
//well the rules were actually in line with what I was going for. And raf just added what was missing, so I'm okay with you guys doing whatever now.
Sumibug:
>Do we know what cats eat? Milk and fish, right? We'll have to feed her eventually.
>Wonder how our family will react to her.
>Pet some more
Sumidai-chan:> You believe so.
>Ponder if she will end up like Miss Orin did.
X:> "I think so." Flora says, putting in more of her arms. "Well, a bit more at least.
> How about now?
Sumidai-chan:> You stop time and look back.
>Stop time and look back again, then go back to how we were and resume it.
>Is that person still following us ?
4:> You keep changing the sizes.
> Keep growing.
X:
> Keep shrinking our host and ourselves.
Sumidai-chan:>don't do this
>"Oh no ! I`ll be late at this rate !"
>Start to run with the kitten home.
4:> You cause a miracle to make yourself feel a bit better, then continue growing at a faster rate.
> We gotta hold out until we can close our mouth, at least. Try using our Sanae magic to soothe the discomfort.
> Continue growing. Pick up the pace a bit if possible, leaning forward to avoid smacking our head into the ceiling.
X:> You continue shrinking faster.
> Continue shrinking ourselves and our host, picking up the pace on both.
Sumidai:> You do have enough to quickly get back. You could easily warp too.
>Assess remaining Sakuya magic. Do we have enough to stop time long enough to get back to the house?
//Sorry for consecutive posts, but it's faster to do this than editing and posting edited all the time. And I'm in a bit of a time crunch to post these especially since it takes longer to write posts on mobile
//Wait, let's mislead them.> You start to take another path and look for an alley. It's taking a while to find one.
Sumidai-chan:
>Don't run, instead stop heading towards our friend's home and take another path, seeking for a alley.
>Once we find said alley, check to see if they are still following us.
//Yay! Back from> You do hear footsteps still.hellwork!
SumiDai:
>Do we still hear their footsteps behind us?
>Is there at least a corner approaching?
>Is there anyone else ahead?
>Are we far enough from the house that we could safely "vanish" in front of them?
4, X:> You continue.
> Beat.
4:> You're about thrice your size or more.
> How large are we compared to normal?
> Beat.
X:
> How small is Flora compared to normal?
SumiDai
>Round the corner.
>Stop time.
>See what the men are doing.
>If they still appear to be following, make our way to the house, lock the door behind us if we can.
>Unfreeze time once we get back to Maribel/Renko/Sumireko's room.
Sumidai-chan:> You believe it should, as the other magics do.
>Use our warp to get there in order to save magic.
>Hmm.... does our Sakuya Magic replenish naturally with time ironically ?
SumiBug:> You did.
>Did we lock the door behind us?
>Check on our kitten.
4:> You open your mouth a bit more and continue to grow.
> Open our mouth wider if we can while continuing to grow.
X:
> Try some more now.
Sumidai-chan:> You warp the kitten's life energy into you and store it into your chest. The kitten appears in your thoughtscape.
>"Ehehe ! I have an idea, hold on and don`t worry."
>Having a feel for the kitten`s life energy, warp it inside us to fuse with it, and store it in our chest.
>Once it appears in our thoughtscape, try reading it`s thoughts.
Secunde:> You check on the fairies. They all seem to be alright.
>Check on the fairies
>OH! I just thought of another rule: If a fairy wants to join the village, and they aren't a good fairy. We teach them how to be a good fairy.
>Does the village have a school? If not, imagine one.
>Rain?
Sumidai-chan:
>How do we look ?
>"Hey, don`t worry ! I will take you to a nice home, my name is Daiyousei little kitty, do you have a name ?"
>Head back to the bedroom.
Sumibug:> You have cat ears and a tail. Your hair is also black, as are the tail and ears.
>Oh, so you're hungry... Well, I'd totally find you something to eat right now, but this is Miss Maribel and Miss Renko's house, and I shouldn't really go through their stuffs and thingies without permission. I promise I'll get you something as soon as we get back to my home in Gensokyo though.
>And adopted? So you're all alone in this world...
>Frown, but then smile,
>Don't worry, little one! I'll see about finding you a home. If my family likes you, than it can probably be with me! But, if not... I know plenty of friends that could take you in! And if none of them want to, then I will have another me personally look after you.
>Pet the kitten in the thoughtscape.
>The one thing that is certain, is that you don't have to worry about being alone anymore.
>So, do you have a name, little one? Mine's Daiyousei.
Secunde:> "It's hard to do the school thing though." A fairy says.
>I just thought of a school too, because I think the real village should have one. I know school can be boring sometimes, but what I learned from Miss Keine's school in the Human Village really helped me. Besides, if we know more stuff, we could be more helpful and do things easier. And once a few of us learn all the stuff, they can become teachers and use the school to teach newcomer fairies what they know!
Dai-chan Secunde:> "I'll try." The fairy says.
>"Why don`t you ask Miss Keine at the village later then ? She is a super good and nice teacher, and will be able to help us, i bet she will be pretty happy to know about what we want to do."
Sumidai-chan:
>"I will find someone to adopt you ! I promise.
>Keep petting in.
>Um.... should we sleep with our clothes on or naked too..... ?
>Fidget a bit.
Sumidai:> You hug the cat gently.
>So, when is the last time you ate, if you're this hungry...? And how long have you been... alone...?
>Pick up the cat and hug her gently.
Sumidai:
>Nothing more to talk about, huh...
Sumidai-chan:> The kitten makes your fusion mew again.
>Head to the kitchen.
>"I will get you food !"
Sumibug:> You're almost there.
>Are we in the kitchen yet?
Sumibug:> The kitten mews again.
>We're almost in the kitchen now, anything else you wanna tell me before I unfuse with you?
>Listen to kitten thoughts.
Sumibug:> You flow the cat's life energy out of you then start to carry her again.
>Unfuse with the cat, pick her up, and gently cradle her in one of our arms.
>Search for food.
Sumibug:> You do, for the most part. It's not like you could build one yourself or anything. Rinnosuke has one of them too.
>We know what a fridge is?
Sumibug:> You open the fridge and check.
>Check the fridge for fish or milk.
Sumibug:> The kitten starts to lick you again.
>"Alright, little one, I found some milk in here. Do you want some? Mew twice for yes, and once for no."
>Wait for the kitten's response.
Sumibug:
>Shrug.
>Is there anything else a cat might eat in here?
Sumidai-chan:> You're not sure what else cats eat.
>Is there any plates or bowls to put the milk for the kitten ?
X:> You do so.
> There you go! The first part's over now, at least.
> Unmake Flora's wings so as to make this easier for everyone.
> Continue shrinking our host and ourselves.
4:
> Gently close our mouth.
> Continue growing ourselves.
Medidai-chan:> Medicine is lying asleep, not dreaming. Aside from moving a bit by breathing, Medicine looks lifeless.
>How Medicine doing ? Is she dreaming ?
X:> Flora moves into your mouth completely.
> Okay, try to keep going if you can.
Sumibug:> You fuse with the cat again.
>Fuse with the cat again real quick.
>I'm sorry, but I can't find any fish... Just milk. Is that okay?
>Listen to the kitten's thoughts
Sumidai-chan:> You touch your cat ears and tail. They're soft.
>Touch our cat ears and tail, try swinging our tail around and twitching our cat ears.
>Meow.
X:> "Eh? How?" Flora questions.
> It'll get you out of my mouth faster, though.
//Just a reminder not to injure, traumatize, or kill Flora. If one fairy starts to distrust us, it could start a chain reaction, ruining everything we worked for...> "Cats? I don't know." The fairies respond. "Cat food?"
Secunde:
>Hey, this is an unrelated question, but would any of you know what cats eat? Its Milk and fish, right? Do they eat anything else?
4:> You're taking up most of the space between the bed and the table.
>How much room are we taking up in our house?
Secunde:> It does not.
>Look up at the bottom of our house. Does the floor show any signs of strain?
X:> "Is that okay?" Flora asks.
> Because my mouth is just my mouth! If you keep going, you'll leave it and go somewhere else.
Secunde:> The fairies smile back.
>Well, I know that. I meant if you didn't have cat food available, what would cats eat? Anyway, thanks for the help still.
>Thoughtscape smile.
Sumibug:
>Any meat? That's close enough to fish right.
//Have to go to work for the next 4-5 hours. I plan on giving the cat some kind of meat with some milk on the side.
//Kilga please, be careful with your crazy ideas.> You caress the cat a bit.
Sumidai-chan:
>Caress Thoughtscape Cat.
>Did this fusion also make a sort of new magic ?
X:> Flora starts to move to your throat.
> It's okay by me if it's okay by you.
Sumidai-chan:> There is.
>Um ? Is there any meat ?
4:> You continue growing and shrinking.
> Continue growing, if we still have the space.
X:
> Continue shrinking ourselves and our host.
> Beat.
Sumidai-chan:> You grab a slice of meat and the milk and set them down for now.
>"Hm..."
>Grab a bit of the meat and the milk, then grab a plate or something proper to put the milk in for the kitten to drink.
>Then unfuse the kitten and offer it some meat, not much, just enough for a taste.
4, X:> You continue.
> Beat.
//break> You pet the kitten a bit, then pour some milk into the bowl and set it down.
Sumibug:
>Smile and pet the kitty.
>pour the milk into the bowl and set the rest of the meat we grabbed the plate.
>"There you go little one."
>smile some more
4:> You use some Sanae magic to soothe yours feeling, then continue changing sizes.
> Use Sanae magic to soothe our ill feeling.
> Continue growing.
X:
> Continue shrinking ourselves and our host.
//What is the point of this even ? It`s just..... weird and dangerous.> The kitten mews again.
Sumidai-chan:
>"Eat up ! So you can have a good night of sleep."
X:> Flora is in your throat.
> Where is Flora now?
> Sorry...
Sumidai-chan:> It has just started to drink the milk.
>Is the kitten eating and drinking ?
X:> "Yea." Flora answers.
> Hey, is it okay if I help you along?
Sumidai-chan:> You watch the kitten drink the milk.
>Aww.....
>Joyfully watch it drink the milk.
X:> You swallow.
> Okay, here goes!
4:
> Swallow.
X:
> If Flora makes it all the way down 4's throat in one go, put up a Patchy-bubble around her before she crashes into anything unpleasant.
Sumidai-chan:> The kitten continues for a bit, before it tries to eat the meat. It's just pulling it though, and can't really tear it off. It looks like it'll tear in a bit if this continues.
>"It`s good right ? I don`t think my friends will mind if it was to a good reason like this."
>Smile and wait until it`s done.
4:> You start to undo the growth.
> Stop growing and start undoing the growth.
X:
> Whoa...so this is what we all look like in the inside...
Sumibug:> You help the kitten get off a good piece, then tear the rest of it up for it.
>Help the kitten tear off a piece.
>Tear up the remaining meat into bite-sized chunks.
X:> Flora nods.
>No. If I was actually eating you, I'd be hurting you. And good fairies don't hurt each other on purpose.
Sumibug:> It does.
>Based on past experience, does fatigue extend to newly created Flan-clones?
Sumibug:> You wait until the kitten finishes most of the meat and milk. Afterwards, it walks to you and brushes against your foot.
>Wait until the cat finishes. Then fuse with the cat once more.
>Is she still hungry?
Sumibug:> You imagine a bed in the thoughtscape and move the kitten to it, then lie down on it yourself.
>You're tired too huh? Well, I guess we should find a place to sleep. Here, let me make one for you in here while I find one in the real world.
>Imagine a bed in our thoughtscape, move the kitten to it. Lay down on it, let the kitten snuggle close to us.
>Put the dishes in the sink or something.
>Make our way back to the bedroom.
Secunde:> It is still pouring hard. You're very tired, energy-wise as well.
>Still raining?
>Assess tiredness.
4 and X:
>Assess tiredness.
//Also, please don't go to sleep with Flora in our stomach... At the very least fusion her first.
//Why not just sleep fused with the kitten ? If we have to we could hide the cat ears and tail, although i kinda doubt we need to.//What do you think I was planning? :V
//We'll see how she feels about the whole thing.> You continue.
4:
> Continue returning to normal size.
X:
> How much space does Flora have in here?
> If we can, try to modify the bubble so it wraps around Flora's body, rather than being a sphere.
//Why not just sleep fused with the kitten ? If we have to we could hide the cat ears and tail, although i kinda doubt we need to.
Sumidai-chan:
>Gently caress it's fur while it's on us.
>What is it thinking ?
>Once we arrive at the bedroom, we..... *flips a coin* ....take off our clothes too and lie down on the bed ?
//I thought that sleeping naked in the bed with cat ears and tail for them to wake up and see was already something comical.> You caress the kitten more.
Sumidai-chan:
>"Mew."
//on break.> You imagine a house for you, and the fairies wave as you leave.
Secunde (thought):
>"I'm gonna go to bed now, guys. You should probably rest up too. We have a big day ahead of us when the rain clears tomorrow, after all. "
>imagine a house for us in the village, go in, and lay on the bed inside.
>in reality, once we're settled in thought. Lean against the tree as comfortably as we can and go to sleep.
4:> You continue undoing your growth.
> Continue reversing our growth.
X:
> Besides, we originally thought you were gonna sleep inside me, right? Um, in a different fashion than this, of course, but still.
Sumidai-chan:> You remove your clothes and lie down in the space between Renko and Sumireko.
>Yea, take off our clothes and lie down between Miss Renko and Miss Sumireko.
>Try willing the kitten to fall asleep faster.
>Cuddle up and once the kitten is asleep have a nice night of sleep with everyone too.
Sumidai-chan:> You cuddle up as well and let yourself sleep.
>Cuddle up in real life too and have a deserved sleep.
//I thought someone else was blocking the door?> You continue. You're almost at your original size. You're about Kanako's size.
4:
> Continue reversing our growth.
> How large are we at present?
X:
> That's probably just because no one else has tried this before. And you have the bubble to protect you, so you don't need to worry.
//Soon. And if you want a Barricade Dai, 4 can make Flan clones as needed.> You continue returning to normal size.
4:
> Continue undoing our growth.
X:
> Sure, if you want to.
4:> You create 3 Flan clones, then reabsorb the other two.
>Create Flan clones, name one BarricadeDai and reabsorb the other two.
Barricade:
>Grow big enough to block the door, lean against it, and sleep.
4:> You're still bigger so you continue.
> Have we returned to normal size by now? If not, continue undoing our growth.
X:
> How is Flora currently positioned? Is she curled up, or stretched out, or something else?
> Okay. Good night, Flora!
//It's water, but it's magic water. Don't forget that it survived in space instead of freezing solid almost instantly. It'll survive this.> You continue, reaching your normal size.
4:
> Continue undoing our growth until we're all the way back to normal size.
X:
> How large is Flora compared to her normal size? Can we even tell in here?
> Oh, and it might get a little tight, but the bubble will protect you, so don't worry.
X:> You watch Flora for when she falls asleep.
> Begin monitoring Flora to determine when she falls asleep.
> Begin undoing the shrinking of Flora and ourselves. Make sure the bubble expands to compensate.
Medibug:> You fall asleep...
>Might as well get some sleep ourselves, we can't liberate dolls while we're dead tired. Besides, with Barricade blocking the door, Medicine isn't going anywhere without us...
X:> You continue, aiding the bubble as well. Flora is losing more space.
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.
//We can probably send the Army Dais to sleep too.> You have Flora curl up.
X:
> Take control of Flora's body and curl 'ourselves' up to save space.
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.
X:> She is still very small. You don't think she'll fit... back up, at this size. You still continue.
> How large is Flora now, compared to her regular size?
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.
4:> You feel alright.
>Do we feel/see anything strange since Flora is expanding inside us?
X:> You continue.
> That's okay. If we need to get Flora out, we can just warp her where she needs to go.
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.
> Let all awake Dais that are not 4, X, or clones of other people fall asleep. (This includes bugs, like RenBug and MerryBug.)> You continue.
4:
> Keep track of our health and how we're feeling with what's going on.
X:
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate until Flora is restored to her normal size or we are given a reason to stop prematurely.
4:> You don't feel ill.
> How are we feeling now?
X:
> Curl Flora as tight as she can reasonably go, if she can. If this frees up space, continue unshrinking and expanding the bubble until Flora once again hits a point where she can't grow any bigger without getting in the way of something.
> What would Flora get in the way of if she grew bigger?
X:> You don't really know. You're just in some place after the throat, you think.
> Are we in 4's throat, or her stomach? Or somewhere else?
4:> You can't.
> Can we feel Flora inside our body? If so, where can we feel her?
X:
> Shrink back down to where we were before we started unshrinking, contracting the bubble accordingly.
> Uncurl ourselves so we can kinda-sorta see.
> Fly down further into 4. Maybe we'll come across somewhere with more room?
4:
> Swallow again, if we feel like it might help Flora along.
//Sorry for falling asleep and making this take longer, everyone.//Perfectly fine for me, since I went to sleep right after that post...
X:
> Continue onward.
> While traveling, reach out a hand and touch the bubble up against part of 4's inner body. Whatever is in reach is fine.
4:
> Can we feel the bubble touching us? If so, where can we feel it?
X:> You have reached a fairly open space. Again, it's pretty empty. There isn't much of interest.
> Continue further onward until we find a more open space (or a substantially less open space). Continue feeling along the walls for 4's reference. However, if we are already in a more open space than before, stop and inspect the area instead. Make particular note if it gets more or less open further down.
4:
> Continue tracking Flora's descent via touch as needed.
X:> You get to the center and curl up tightly, before starting to undo your shrinking.
> Get to the center of the open space and curl up tightly again.
> Resume undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate until Flora is restored to her normal size or we are given a reason to stop prematurely.
X:> You keep unshrinking.
> Keep un-shrinking to fill the entire area.
> Once this is done, continue un-shrinking (and expanding the bubble), but at a slower, more careful rate, judging the pressure being applied to Flora (if the bubble doesn't absorb all of it). We don't want to injure her or ourselves!
4:
> Monitor internal pressure from Flora's growth.
X:> You continue unshrinking.
> Continue un-shrinking (and expanding the bubble) at the slower, more careful rate until Flora reaches her original size or we are given a health/safety reason (either Flora's or 4's) to stop.
X:> Flora is about Cirno's size, so she's almost at her original size.
> How large is Flora now?
4:
> Apply Sanae-magic to alleviate the discomfort.
X:> You continue, using Sanae magic to ease any discomfort.
> Continue un-shrinking (and expanding the bubble) at the slower, more careful rate until Flora reaches her original size or we are given another health/safety reason (either Flora's or 4's) to stop.
4:
> Continue applying Sanae-magic to alleviate discomfort as it arises.
4:> Your stomach is extended out a bit.
>has our physical appearance changed since Flora is growing to normal size in our normal size body?
4:> It feels like your stomach is being stretched out kinda. A bit like eating too much.
> What kind of pain is it?
> Use Sanae-magic to ease the pain as well.
X:
> How large is Flora now?
X:> You continue, keeping the pain down with Sanae magic.
> Continue un-shrinking (and expanding the bubble) at the slower, more careful rate until Flora reaches her original size or we are given another health/safety reason (either Flora's or 4's) to stop.
4:
> Continue applying Sanae-magic to alleviate discomfort and pain as it arises.
X:> Flora seems to be alright.
> Phew.
> How much pressure does Flora seem to be under?
> How's that bubble holding up?
4:
> How do we look?
> How do we feel?
Dai-chan 4:> You should be able to.
>Can we even sleep like this ?
//I'm not putting her to sleep yet, don't worry.> Koa is pretty much the same size as you, if not a bit taller.
4:
> How tall is Koa compared to us, again?
> Who is currently in the bed?
> Is there space in the bed for us?
> Try walking over to the bed to see what it's like now. Gently and quietly, of course, we don't want to wake anyone up, inside or outside of us.
//Sorry for making you do all that searching! .-.;> It didn't... You think.
X:
> Did 4's walking seem to disturb Flora?
4:
> We had no difficulty walking in our new condition?
> Try walking over to the chests at a normal speed, so we can get ready to move clothes into the new dresser.> You walk over to the chests. It's hard to move a lot and it's weighty and heavy as well. You might still be able to fly, but it'll definitely be uncomfortable.
> Start quietly transferring clothes from the chests to the dresser. This'll give us a chance to get used to this.> You begin to quietly move the clothes.
//At this point, I'd like to make the bed big enough to include 4, and then we can go to sleep. At this point, I can probably experiment more tomorrow. Maybe see if others are willing to try it, too.> You're moving slowly and it's still tough. It's like trying to hold that package from Kourindou.
> Gauge the feeling of our own movement as we transfer the clothes.
> Transfer all the clothes uninterrupted until some outside force introduces itself.
> Quietly move the chests away from the bed as we had the idea earlier.> You move the empty chests first, then the nightstand when your finished. The bed now has a lot of room to grow. That, or the dresser could be moved there.
> Once the chests are moved, quietly move the nightstand as we had the idea earlier.
> Grow the bed out large enough that we can fit in it next to everyone else.> You grow the bed out even more, then fit yourself in and lie down facing upwards.
> Once the bed is large enough that we can get in, climb into it and lie down, making sure not to lie down on our stomach.
X:> You go to sleep...
> Drift off to sleep.
4:
> Feel for any difference inside of us when X goes to sleep, such as Flora's bubble vanishing.
> If we feel no difference, drift off to sleep ourselves, pleased with the success of our experiment. Maybe we'll try it with other people, or maybe even more than one person, in the future!
> If we do feel a difference, do NOT fall asleep just yet.
Dai-chan 2:> You get out of bed and look around. You're in Aya's room.
>Let's make this a Dai-chan 2 secret, ehehe !
>Lazily get off the bed and look around.
>"Hamiya ? You around ?"
//You okay, parser? You've had a really erratic update schedule lately.//Apologies. Schools back, and there's an event on an online game I play up til the 22nd. I really have been neglecting this a bit too much though, compared to my usual posting.
> Status of self.
//School? Already? It's only mid-August! o_O> Both of you still have your arms.
> Do we still have all eight of our arms?
> Does Hamiya still have all ten of hers?
> Smile.
> "Good morning!"
Dai-chan 2:
>Wait..... are we naked ?
>"Whatever makes you happy !"
//School is back for me too Kilga. :P
//You poor kids. No high schoolers should have to go back to school in mid-August.//It gets worse. One of my brothers has his birthday a week before school starts, while I have mine a week after it starts. TT_TT
> Do we have Flandre magic?
> Put on a thinking face.> Hamiya tilts her head a bit.
> "Hmm..."
> Try using our miracle magic to create more body behind us, starting at about butt level and extending straight back, before ending in a butt and a pair of legs so that we ostensibly turn ourselves into a centaur.
>Are any other Dais awake? (Do not count Army dais, aside from X, 4, and Secunde.)> SeiDai, ShinDai, SeiBug, and ShinBug are all awake. SakuDai is working. SakuDai has learned a lot about maid related work as well.
//The hell ? Now that was random as hell.> You get up and hug Hamiya. She blushes and hugs you back gently.
Dai-chan 2:
>"Oh, nothing, just having some thoughts."
>Nod and hug her.
>"What matters is that i'm with you, last night was just such a nice night, i hope it felt nice for you too."
//It's something else I've been curious about for a while. I might need to ask Sanny if it's possible. If not, I might need to wait until we have an excuse to fuse with Nue, since I bet she can do it.> They are discussing the clones living their lives for them.
SeiBug, ShinBug:
> What are our hosts up to?
SeiDai, ShinDai:
> What are we up to?
SakuDai:> You do.
> Do we have Flan magic?
> Good morning, Miss Sakuya! How are you doing today?
2:
> Giggle a bit.
> "Oh yeah? Well, you're wonderfuller."
Dai-chan 2:> You kiss Hamiya. It feels really nice...
>Blush too and smile.
>Kiss her.
>"And there will be more days like this to come."
//So cute. :3
SeiBug, ShinBug:> "Yes, but wouldn't this be one of them?" Seija asks.
> How does that conversation seem to be going?
SakuDai:
> We're all doing great! Rumia and Miss Flan talked about Rumia's old new powers a bunch and they also had a friendly battle that didn't damage anything. It's so nice to be with my friends whenever we want to be! I hope this second you has been helpful, too...
Sakudai-chan:> Good. SakuDai smiles a bit.
>"And today we will talk a bit more about her powers, see how it feels for her and understand it a bit more, that way we should make more progress too."
>Smile.
>I also learned a lot from seeing you work, i hope to do the same as well as i can when i am needed."
SakuDai:> You create three Flan clones.
> That's great! Hey, I have an idea that might help even more, then.
> Create three Flan clones.
2:> "What you were trying earlier?" Hamiya asks.
> Giggle again.
> "Maybe! I don't mind it at all. And it might be helpful to not have clothes on for what I was trying to do earlier."
//Why this centaur thing ? Have you gone full mad scientist mode ?> You don't know where the bath is.
Dai-chan 2:
>"Oh, by the way, last night was something special just for us, no other me knows anything about it, not even the original me, so it is like our big secret."
>Smile.
>"Ehehe ! I also have to take a bath though."
>Do we know where it is ?
SakuDai:> It's better for me to always have one of me awake to work productively.
> Yay! Oh, and you can just dissolve these extra yous when it's time for bed if you don't have enough bed space. Or if you do have the space, I guess you can sleep in the same bed with all the other yous. That's probably what I'd do if I was as pretty as you.
ShinBug:> "Oh, good morning Daiyousei." Shinmyoumaru says. "Well, I guess you're still asleep... Oh. What is it?"
> Um, pardon me, Your Highness? Oh, and good morning.
>Anyone else awake yet?> No other Dais are awake.
2:> Hamiya puts on a confused face.
> "I was trying to grow out extra body behind me, like, extend my butt out way behind me and then grow another pair of legs. Like a horsey-person."
> Frown.
> "It didn't seem to work, though. Maybe I'll ask Miss Sanae if it's even possible."
SakuDai:> If one ends up needing to sleep with another, then yes. Sakuya responds.
> Oh. Well, still, all of the other yous could probably share a bed, at least.
ShinBug:> "Yes... Wait, what do you mean the way things are?" Shinmyoumaru looks a bit upset. "Do you mean us?"
> The original me is still asleep, but me me is awake, yeah. Anyway, it sounds like Seija isn't very happy with things the way they are...should we all talk about it?
Shinbug:
>Oh nonononono! Not that! Not that at all! I mean the clones...
ShinDai:> "Oh."
> I mean what you two were just talking about. With the original yous in here and the other yous out there.
2:> "I'm...not really up for rides or anything..." Hamiya says. "Don't you think it's a bit... strange?"
> "'Cause it seems like fun. And if it worked, I could give you horsey rides! Or I could do it to you and you could give me horsey rides!"
SakuDai:> Sakuya nods.
> Anyway, lemme know if you need anything else, okay? I'll let you get back to what you were doing now.
2:> "Well... Now you get it." Hamiya shifts a bit.
> Blink.
> Sound and look a little sheepish.
> "...Uh...not really...at least not until you said something about it..."
ShinDai:> Shinmyoumaru nods.
> Yeah. Should we all talk about it?
2:> "I'm not doing something like that outside." Hamiya frowns a bit.
> "...I still wanna do it, though..."
ShinDai:> "Nothing much." Seija replies. "Something interesting you? You're not usually doing this anymore, and now you suddenly start."
> Look to Seija.
> Speak in our own voice.
> "Hi Seija, it's me. What's on your mind?"
2:> "It still sounds weird." Hamiya says.
> "That's okay. I'm sure we can find other ways to try it out. I won't make you a horsey-person outside if you don't want to be."
> Nod emphatically.
ShinDai:> "New discoveries?" Shinmyoumaru asks.
> "Well, most of the mes are asleep right now, so I wanted to check in with you two, since you are your mes are at least awake."
> Look sad.
> "I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you two as much over the past couple of days. There's been lots of new discoveries, and it's really hard keeping my attention in so many places at once..."
2:> "Maybe don't make it too strange..." Hamiya says. "It might change others' opinions of you. Not mine, of course, but others.
> "Maybe."
> Smile.
> "But I've done a lot of things lately that probably sounded weird to lots of other people, and it's done me tons and tons of good, and I've been able to do good for other people too. So I'm okay with people thinking I'm doing more strange things."
ShinDai:> "The outside world and space?" Shinmyoumaru questions.
> "Yep! I made friends with some outside world humans, and I even got to see the outside world for myself! And I also figured out how to go into space and not freeze or die from not breathing! And I also also made a new fairy friend that's sleeping safely in my stomach even though she's bigger than Cirno! Her name is Flora, by the way."
2:> "S-Sleep in your belly? W-What!?" Hamiya jumps.
> "I dunno. I can always explain myself to anyone that thinks I'm being weird! Like, I bet people will think I'm weird for letting my new fairy friend sleep in my belly last night, but I know better."
ShinDai:> "Oh. How is it?"
> "Yep! All of the mes that are still in the outside world are asleep, though."
2:> You do.
> Do we have Patchy magic?
> "Yep! Don't worry, she's totally safe and fine. It was pretty hard to move around with her inside me, though. She's bigger than Cirno. Oh, and her name is Flora."
ShinDai:> "...Did you. Did you do the same thing you did for Wriggle?"
> "The buildings were HUGE! I also saw a man with a firearm shooting at a kitty. What a meanie head! But the kitty is safe now."
2:> "N-No..." Hamiya says.
> Brighten.
> "Yep! You wanna try it?"
ShinDai:> "Eh?"
> "Oh! No, I didn't do that. I did something a little different."
2:> "Um, shouldn't you think about it a bit...?" Hamiya asks.
> Droop a bit.
> "Aww...I promise it's totally safe, though..."
ShinDai:
> "I did something similar, but different. I probably shouldn't talk about it too much."
2:> "Like, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Hamiya asks.
> "Huh? What do you mean?"
ShinDai:
> "But yeah, that's been my past couple of days. What about you two?"
2:> "I still don't want to do it though Daiyousei..." Hamiya says.
> Shake head.
> "No, it's totally fine. I figured it all out. Flora's perfectly safe."
ShinDai:> "Hehe." Shinmyoumaru laughs a bit. "Others can cause trouble too though."
> Giggle a bit.
> "I guess when you're not causing as much trouble as I am, there's not as much to do, huh."
2:> Hamiya rubs her arm a bit in the silence and looks around.
> Look sadder.
> "...aww..."
ShinDai:> Shinmyoumaru nods. "We caused one before. At least Reimu wasn't too hard on us. ... Well, everyone was hard on Seija afterwards..."
> "Yeah, but it's good when that doesn't happen, I think."
2:> "You mean with me inside you?" Hamiya asks. "Or the horse-like thing? Either way, I don't really want to be a part of it..."
> "...I was thinking I could take my bath like that, too..."
ShinDai:> "It still happened..." Shinmyoumaru says.
> "Yeah. But we've started to fix that!"
2:> "I don't think I'd be comfortable inside you though. I mean, if I'm small like Aya was before, it'd be okay. But not that far inside."
> "T-The first one. Taking a bath as a horsey person would be too hard, but...enjoying a bath as close as possible with the person I love is..."
ShinDai:> Shinmyoumaru stays silent with a bit of a frown.
> "It did. But all you can do is advance toward the future, right?"
2:> Hamiya looks a bit upset.
> "Only one way to find out for sure, y'know. But for what it's worth, Flora did fall asleep on her own, so it can't be that bad."
ShinDai:> "Rather than advance towards the future, you kinda did the opposite with Wriggle's situation." Seija says.
> "...Huh?"
2:> "It's alright. No harm done." Hamiya smiles and nods once.
> Look regretful.
> "Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you that hard, I just...I'm sorry."
ShinDai:> Seija smirks.
> "Oh...I guess that's true. I've only ever done it to rescue someone that was going to die when they shouldn't have, though...but even then, I don't like doing it, for a lot of reasons. And you're right. That's one of them."
2:> "So now what? I guess you probably haven't eaten-" Hamiya blushes a bit and sports a slight smile. "Ehehe... I-I mean I can't really cook that great like Sakuya or anything. We should just go somewhere else to eat. Maybe the mansion itself."
> Brighten a bit.
> "Okay. Thanks, Hamiya."
ShinDai:> "That'd probably cause a huge uproar and Reimu would get mad." Shinmyoumaru says.
> "I'm definitely absolutely never gonna do it to change anything that everyone will know changed, though. We jumped through all those hoops for a reason."
2:> "You still wanted to take your bath though, right?" Hamiya asks.
> "Sure, we can go somewhere! Oh, have you had Mystia's? I wonder if she's open right now..."
ShinDai:> "So... If you could experience something really, really fantastic, would you go in person, or use one of your clones, and why?" Shinmyoumaru suddenly asks.
> Nod.
> "Definitely."
SumiBug:> You feel your head. The cat ears are still there.
> Oww...
> Feel our head. Are the cat ears still there?
> Are we still on the bed? If so, is anyone else awake?
MikoBug:> "Did you have a good sleep Daiyousei?" You hear Miko ask.
> "...hmmmmrrruhh?"
> Stretch a bit.
//Actually, I have an idea:> After a bit of trying, you force Sumibug to wake up.
All awake dais:
>Use all our willpower to force Sumibug awake.
Sumibug:
>If this is somehow successful, stop time immediately.
//Oh wow, that actually worked.> You only have a little Sakuya magic left. You're not sure if you could rewind or not.
Sumibug:
>Assess Sakuya Magic.
>Check on kitty.
>Look around.
SumiBug:> You do not know where you are. No one seems to be nearby either.
> Where are we, and who is around with us?
> Are there any doors or windows?> There is a door nearby.
Sumibug:> It is.
>Assess all magic. Is the Sakuya Magic the only one that's been depleted.
>Wait a second... Wasn't both Shinny and the miracle mallet in prime before we were created?
>If so, do we have access to a copy of the Miracle Mallet's fusion magic?
//Gonna go to bed, but it's pretty obvious we've been kidnapped by those men that were following us around last night. This is why I wanted that entire venture to be done while invisible, but what's done is done, I guess.//You had the whole time to cloak us or prevent an action. If anything it's your fault for not acting.
//Gonna go to bed, but it's pretty obvious we've been kidnapped by those men that were following us around last night. This is why I wanted that entire venture to be done while invisible, but what's done is done, I guess.
> Try to open the door.
Sumibug:> In some of the corners is some sort of circle. It looks like it might hold something, but you can't see.
>Check the corners near the ceiling, do we see anything unusual?
>"copies" of everyone fused with prime get transferred to clones right? Since that's how our clones of other people work.
>is there at least a "copy" of the mallet in us?
>Is there enough room to send a flan clone under the door if they shrunk enough?
>Sunny magic ourselves before we do anything in the meantime.
Just keep in mind what you said about "countermanding all of my actions" if disaster struck regarding the Miko subplot; you made no attempt to stop it otherwise.//I didn't because I was letting you have your fun, what I said will apply once the consequences of those actions come in. I specifically said if what you do gets us sealed again or worse, then I'll start countermanding your actions, because if that happened, I'd know not to trust you to experiment. Because at that point your actions WOULD have had a detrimental effect on the game. Fortunately, we don't seem to have any imminent severe consequences, so I'm willing to drop it.

//And I honestly wouldn't have minded if you forced the Sunny cloak issue, as long as the net result was the same. I cannot speak the same for raf, because I am unsure how he thinks, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have minded either.
Sumibug:
>Create a set of Flan clones, have them cloak too if they aren't already.
>Try the door, does it open?
>If not, unfreeze time, we need to recharge and conserve our Sakuya Magic for now.
>If it does, head through it with our party, and shut it behind us. Then unfreeze time and look around.
SumiFlan 1:
>If the door doesn't open. Shrink as far as we can manage, stand/fly right in front of it and blind warp a meter in front of us. Rename ourselves to "Probe"
SumiFlan 2:
>Look around, is there anything that looks like a vent or duct?
Sumidai and clones:> Only Probe is feeling tired.
>Are the rest of us feeling tired?
>Is there any odd energies in us?
>If so separate it like we did with Medicine and the army.
Sumiflan 2:
>Fly up the the vent and shrink as small as we can.
>Can we get into the vent without warping or physically moving the cover?
>If so, do so.
>If not, look past the cover and warp into the vent. Do not do this if the vent is too small.
Probe:
>Continue on.
All Dais:
>If they don't resolve it on their own, use all will power to keep them awake.
Sumibug and other clone:> You avoid the laser.
>whoever is being targeted fly out of the way.
>whoever is not shrink and warp into the vent using the other dais vantage point.
Sumiflan 2:
>are we able to warp probe in her current state? If so warp her into the vent as well.
>Proceed through the vents with caution.
>Have the other trail behind.
Sumibug:
>use our last Sakuya magic to freeze time
>quickly grow our chest and attempt to enter senkai before it runs out.
> Whenever time resumes:> "I can get the bath ready for you..." Hamiya says.
2:
> "Oh. Right. Yeah..."
ShinBug:> Shinmyoumaru looks to Seija, who nods in return.
> "Hmm...probably the original me, if it wasn't dangerous or too far away. I mean, I'd love to do everything with the original me, but I have a lot of people living inside me now that I have to consider. I still don't know what would happen to people inside me if I died..."
MikoBug:> "It was fine." Miko nods.
> "...Mmmmmm? Oh! Good morning, Miss Miko. It was wonderful, yes! How about you?"
2:> Hamiya gets up and leaves the room.
> Nod.
> "Sure. Thanks!"
ShinBug:> "Well, they kinda sometimes are just weird... Like when you grew me..." Shinmyoumaru puts a hand to her chest.
> "Yeah, there's still lots I don't know about lots of stuff. That's why I keep trying new things! Some people might think the things I do are weird, but I've discovered so much cool stuff and I've been able to use it to help all of my friends so much that I'm just gonna keep experimentating."
MikoBug:> You sit up and look around. You are in Miko's thoughtscape. Tojiko and Futo are here. Futo is still in bed, but Tojiko is sitting on hers.
> "That's good!"
> Sit up and look around.
All Dai-chans:> You try to get the two to wake up, and Merrydai wakes first.
>Will either Maridai-chan or Rendai-chan to awake.
Whichever Dai-chan woke up:
>Open our friend's eyes and use them to look around, are we still in our house ?
>If we go back to the mystery room, go back to Senkai ASAP and fuse with Mikodai-chan.
//Can i unfuse Rendai-chan to warn them ?//I don't think Kilga would want to do this either. And I'm also not for revealing ourselves to our hosts just yet
Rendai-chan:
>Is Sumireko here too ?
SeiBug, ShinBug:> Shinmyoumaru is still her enhanced size and chest.
> Resume listening to our hosts' thoughts at all times.
ShinBug:
> How tall is Shinny right now in comparison to Seija? Is she at her original tiny height or her enhanced Reimu-sized height?
> Is Shinny's chest still as large as we made it?
> "Mmm...or how I let Flora sleep in my belly last night, I guess. Hamiya seems to think that's weird, at least."
MikoBug:> You wave to Tojiko, and she waves back.
> Wave to Tojiko.
MerryBug:> She'll think I betrayed her... And what do I even tell Renko? Maribel thinks.
> Resume listening to our host's thoughts at all times.
>So our friends are safe...> RenDai is still asleep, as you stopped when MerryDai woke. Sumireko is in bed too however.
Sumidai-chan:
>Stare again at our chest, thinking of leaving Senkai and going either back home or to our friend's home.
>If we go back to the mystery room, try to warp back to our friends' place ASAP with Rendai-chan's help, if it doesn't work, go back to Senkai ASAP and fuse with Mikodai-chan.
//Can i unfuse Rendai-chan to warn them ?
Rendai-chan:
>Is Sumireko here too ?
Sumiflan 2:> You grab Probe and warp back to the bedroom on the other side of the bed. Maribel jumps a bit when you arrive.
>Continue on in the vent.
Remaining Flan Clone:
>Grab Probe, then warp us back to the bedroom using Mary's PoV.
//I'm leaving one clone behind, just for exploration purposes
Sumiflan 2:> You are invisible still.
>Are we still invisible?
>If so, peek into the room from the vent, but do not enter.
Sumibug:
>Smile and look relieved.
>Keep our voice low so we don't wake the others.
>"Good morning, Miss Maribel! I'm glad to see that all you guys are okay..."
//Incidentally, I actually have some suspicions as to who kidnapped SumiBug. They're largely meta, though, so they're not really worth sharing beyond saying that I'm not too terribly worried that we haven't permanently ruined Renko and Mary's outside world life.> "She's not gonna... you know. Is she?" Shinmyoumaru vaguely questions. That'd be gross...
ShinBug:
> "Nah, I already have a couple of kids, and neither of them were in my belly. It is pretty big, though. But it works! It's like I'm giving Flora a full-body hug all the time. It's really nice! Kinda heavy and hard to move around, but really nice."
MikoBug:> "As usual. Fine."
> Smile.
> "Good morning, Miss Tojiko. How are you doing?"
//Oh, well, that pretty much shoots down my meta theory anyway. I figured it'd be the PoDD (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Yumemi_Okazaki) racers (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Chiyuri_Kitashirakawa) behind everything, but there's no way armed forces are their style.
SumiBug:
> "Huh? What's wrong?"
Sumidai-chan:
>Low tone. "They didn't hurt you did you ? Nor did they steal anything right ?"
Sumibug:> "They didn't take anything but you..." Maribel says. "Everyone else is okay."
>"Well I haven't been having the best of mornings either... I woke up in some strange room, but I managed to escape by going through Senkai. My biggest concern, however, is if all of you are safe... And it looks like you are..."
ShinBug:> "Er... No thank you."
> "No, she's perfectly safe. I wouldn't do that to a friend! Oh, hey, I could even show you if you wanted, so you can see for yourself that it's all totally fine."
MikoBug:> "Something other than lying here, hopefully." Miko says.
> "Good, good. So what's up for today?"
Remaining Unnamed Flan Clone:> You uncloak and grow to normal size, hiding your traits.
>Are we invisible? If yes, uncloak so Merry knows we're here.
>Grow to normal size, hide cat and fairy traits.
>Cloak again.
>Cautiously peek out the nearest window
Sumiflan 2:
>Carefully move past the opening and continue.
>How big/small is the vent anyway?
ShinDai:> "Yea." Shinmyoumaru answers.
> "Aww...you sure?"
MikoBug:
> How large is Miko's chest relative to the rest of her body? Does she compare with us in our default state?
> "Oh, yeah, that'd be good."
ShinBug (thank you for working with me as I constantly screw this up):> "Sorry." Shinmyoumaru says.
> Look downcast.
> "Awww..."
MikoBug:> "You don't have any other plans?" Miko asks.
> "What should we do, then?"
//on my lunch break.> "It's alright." Maribel says.
Sumibug:
>"How did those men even find me? As soon as I noticed them following me I led them away and around a corner and then I warped my way back here... And I locked the door behind me and everything... So all they wanted was me? Why? I knew I should've left a clone to keep watch."
>frown.
>"I'm sorry those people found out where you live... I was just curious... I wanted to see the outside world... and then I found this little kitten all alone and hurt and I just couldn't leave her out there... oh, speaking of that I owe you some meat and milk. I know I shouldn't have taken it without asking, but she was starving... I promise I'll pay you back. You can count on it."
ShinBug:> "No. That's weird." Seija frowns.
> "Mmmmmm...what about you, Seija?"
MikoBug:> "Depends on where we're going. If we're getting bigger, then it might be harmful."
> "I don't think so...my only plan yesterday was to visit you all, and then it blossomed into this, which was a really super cool second, but we can't really go any further with it without putting you in danger, can we?"
Maridai-chan:
>Keep reading Miss Maribel`s thoughts.
Sumidai-chan:
>"I just... hope i didn`t put you in danger, i really don`t want to harm my friends..."
//last post before I go back to work for two hours. See yall next break> You return to listening to Maribel's thoughts.
Sumibug:
>"No its not alright! Those men shouldn't even have found me, let alone this place! I lost them! I swear I lost... oh gods... don't tell me they broke in to all the houses on the street trying to find me... gods you guys must've been terrified. I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to put you in potential danger and to think this was because I did something good... maybe I wasn't meant to do nice things..."
Maribug:
>what happened to listening to her thoughts at all times?
Sumiflan 2:> Nothing interesting has come up.
>report
ShinBug:> "Well, the person you tried it with tried it, right?" Shinmyoumaru asks. That's something.
> Frown.
> "Geez...no one wants to try it, even though it's perfectly safe."
MikoBug:> "Nowhere, I think. I'm larger than Gensokyo, remember?" Miko says.
> "Hmm...What if we stayed this size? Where could we go then?"
//I'm off work earlier than expected> You haven't gone that far, due to your smaller size.
Sumiflan 2:
>How far into the vents have we moved since we saw those men?
Sumidai:
>"I don't know! I was just walking down the street where I saw this man shoot a kitten in an alleyway. I healed the kitten after he left, and I made sure nobody saw me heal her, and then I started coming back here with the kitten and I eventually noticed the man from before as well as those other guys following me."
>"Wait they just knocked? And they asked for me? Does that mean you... You just told them I was in here without batting an eye?!"
>Frown
>"I mean there has to be a reason right? Did I do something to make you dislike me? I'm not angry at you... I'm still your friend... I'm just... confused..."
Sumidai-chan:> "The police." Maribel says. Ahh... we'll all be in trouble now.
>"I couldn`t help it, the poor cat didn`t deserve that, and who are they even ?"
>Sigh.
>"I think i understand though, you couldn`t risk Miss Renko`s or MIss Sumireko`s safety..."
Sumidai:
>"B-But why did they even come!?! A-And how could they even know it was the same kitten!?! I know the man who shot her didn't see me walk out of the alley with her... A-And I-I didn't th-think it would e-ever put you guys in p-potential danger."
>Tear up a bit.
>"A-All I did was something good... A-And it just caused something bad to happen... M-Maybe I deserve whatever they're going to do to me... A-Am I a bad fairy, Miss Maribel?"
Sumidai-chan:> "N-No, you just saved a kitten. They won't do anything bad to you." I-I think. "They probably just want to use your power or something."
>"And why would the police come after me at all ? Aren`t they supposed to be good guys ?"
Sumiflan 2:
>What is the noise?
Sumidai:
>"B-But if they don't want to do anything bad to me, then why would they try to keep me asleep in a windowless room with the only door leading to a hallway that makes you sleepy and in the corner of the room is a machine that shoots freaking LASERS! And why would they always carry firearms?"
>"Also good morning, Miss Renko."
>Is the kitten awake yet?
Sumidai-chan:> The noise sounds like a fan or something.
>"And i can`t do that, i shouldn`t interfere in this place...."
Sumidai-chan:
>Fidget a bit.
>"Um.... it seems like the police found out about me, one of my powers at least..... and now they want to use it but..."
>Sad face.
>"I can't interfere here like this, i gotta pretend to be a normal girl in her teens...."
Sumidai:> You unfuse the kitten and hold it.
>"Miss Maribel let the police take me while I was sleeping-"
>Hold out our arms and unfuse our kitten so that we gently catch her in them and hold her close.
>"-for saving this poor, lonely stray kitten that someone shot last night... Though I'm not mad at her for it, she probably only did it because she was scared, and that's understandable. I mean, they were carrying firearms and acting creepy... You guys seem to be okay though, and I'm glad about that..."
Sumiflan 2:
>Keep going, if we suddenly see a fan, stop. If we somehow start getting pulled towards one, quickly warp to the other side of it.
Sumidai:> You start to pet the kitten.
>"Hey, Miss Maribel, the cloaked clone of me I left behind to investigate where I was found something weird in the vents. It's like a moving floaty thingy that makes a fan noise."
>Describe its appearance .
>"Is it something that shoots lasers? And it stopped moving when I saw it."
>Pet the kitten.
Sumiflan 2:
>We are still invisible, yes?
>Tilt our head in curiosity.
Sumiflan 2:
>Use our Rumia magic to create a ball of darkness around the floaty thing.
Sumidai-chan:
>"It fired a small rope or string thing now, and it`s returning to the little floaty thing."
>Keep petting.
>"Isn`t she such a cutie ? Why would someone hurt this dear kitten ?"
Sumidai:
>"Well, it just shot some kind of cord at my clone... But it missed... Wait. How can it even see the other me? She's invisible! Well, I could probably lead it to a dark area... It shouldn't see her in the dark... maybe..."
Sumiflan 2:
>Examine end of the cord
>This thing might be dangerous...
>Assess our Sakuya magic
>Shrug.
>Use our Rumia magic to create a ball of darkness around the floaty thing.
>Warp to the other side of it.
Probe:
>Are we awake yet?
Unnamed Clone:
>If she isn't attempt to nudge her awake.
>Don`t do this.> "A cord?" It shot a cord? Maribel questions.
//We don`t actually know if it actually saw us or is just performing a check, it never said that it was trying to aim at us.
Sumidai:> "On." Renko says.
>"Huh, okay, I guess it wasn't aiming at the other me... I think it was performing a check or something..."
>"Well, its leg was horribly crushed too, but I healed that as well... I still can't believe something like that happened to something so young and innocent..."
Unnamed Clone:
>Bitchslap Probe a couple times in an attempt to awaken her. That works, right?
Sumiflan2:
>Was the route the floaty thing went down the only way forward, or is there an alternate route?
Probe:> You are still small. Despite it being done with care, your head hurts a lot now. You'd like to lie down.
>"Well I technically did it to myself, so it's okay. I'd only do it to someone else as a last resort. Plus I needed to wake up."
>Are we still small?
Sumidai:
>Keep petting the kitten.
>"Do you think my kids will like her?"
Sumiflan 2:
>Proceed with caution.
>Does the vent eventually branch off, either to the side or up/down?
Sumiflan 2:> You check the area.
>Check the area where the vent goes out, but do not enter the room.
>Keep eyes and ears open in case the floaty thing comes back.
Sumiflan 2:> You follow the other path.
>Continue moving down the vent where the floaty thing went. Proceed with caution.
ShinBug:> You do not.
> Do we have Patchy magic?
> "Yeah, but I was really hoping that other people would try it after it went so well for Flora..."
MikoBug:
> "Oh, right, that's true."
MikoBug:> "Anything else you have in mind?" Miko asks.
> "Oh, right, that's true."
//Told you.> "What are you seeing?" Maribel asks. I think she might need to stop...
Sumidai-chan:
>"O-Oh ! Um.... i guess i will have to disguise myself ? Or just fuse with you guys, right now the other me is investigating."
>Does it feel like our Sakuya Magic is refilling ? Actually, does any of our non-natural magic (no warp and growth) refill naturally ?
Dai-chan 2:
>What is going on ?
//Oh, I figured it would be difficult. I'm not gonna just give up, though.> "Not for most things. Like more incidents." Shinmyoumaru says.
ShinBug:
> "Yeah, but if some is good, then more is better, and morer is betterer."
MikoBug:> "Sorry, but there doesn't seem to be much to do. Nothing else is really comparable at this size, and there's no one else around to do anything with."
> "Hmm...I wonder if there's anything else we can do with you this big...I feel like it would be a wasted opportunity to not take advantage of it, since it took so long to get you to this size."
Sumidai:> "Do you think it was a kitchen?" Maribel asks. She should be able to get out if she's in trouble again.
>"Nothing really, the other me is following where the floaty thingy went. And she just passed a vent where they were setting some really good smelling food on a stand right underneath it."
Sumiflan 2:
>Status update.
Probe:
>Hows our head?
>Are any other Dais awake?
ShinBug:> "I guess..." Shinmyoumaru says. But there is too much of a good thing...
> "Yeah, but incidents are bad, and this is good."
MikoBug:
> "Mmm...the only thing I can think of is going to the moon and exploring it."
ShinBug:> "Good." Seija says.
> Wave our hands defensively toward Seija.
> "No, no, that's fine! I get it."
MikoBug:
> "No, I meant, like, actually reaching it and exploring it somehow. Though that might be really hard to do safely at this size."
Sumiflan 2:> You get to the exit. Someone's grabbing the floaty thing and setting it down.
>Carefully creep to the edge of the exit and look out.
>Was there any point on our route where the vent went up or down, or a potential path was covered by a grate?
Sumidai:
>Did it look like a kitchen or mess hall? Or was it literally just a single stand underneath the vent and nothing else?
>If the latter: "No, it wasn't that. It was literally just one stand under the vent..."
Probe:
>Use Sanae magic to attempt to reduce the pain.
Sumiflan 2:
>Hey ! We`re not a thing ! We are a person, still, refrain from saying any complains.
Sumiflan 2:> You hide your cat traits.
>From what we can see in the room, can we see any new vents?
>Hide our cat traits, we don't really need them.
Probe:
>"Okay, I feel much better now... Well, I gotta go for now. I think it would be better to have two of me in there in case one gets in trouble."
>Are we still small?
>if not, shrink to Sumiflan 2's size
>Cloak
>Hide our cat traits as well.
>Use Sumiflan 2's POV to warp in the vent next to her.
Sumidai:> "You didn't fall for it, right?" Of course she didn't. Maribel asks.
>"Yeah, just a stand. I think they were trying to bait me."
ShinBug:> "Okay." Seija says.
> "I'll try asking someone else."
MikoBug:
> "I can try to ask Miss Reimu, I guess. When another me wakes up, anyway."
//This is gonna sound absolutely crazy, but I'm actually tempted to start cooperating with them. I don't think they're malicious, and it sounds like they're not holding the Hifuus responsible for us. They might get questioned if we vanish, but I don't think it'd be worse than that, especially if we're cooperative with the police while we're there.//I'm actually half tempted to do so as well, but I'm going to wait until we learn more about their intentions before I start going down that route.
ShinBug:> "We're fine." Seija says.
> "Is there something else you two would like me to do for you? Ooh, I wonder what you'd both look like with long hair..."
//I'm not too worried about. It's not like they can get to Gensokyo.> "In your belly? Why?" Miko asks.
//Oh, and:
MikoBug:
> Nod.
> "Yep! I'm still exploring and experimentating. Not only did all of us here discover space travel, but I got to explore the outside world a bit! Also, I got to sleep with my new fairy friend sleeping safely in my belly. Her name is Flora and she's bigger than the average fairy."
Sumidai:> "Ehe, sorry." Maribel says. Didn't want to make it look like I thought she was stupid...
>"Of course I didn't! Us fairies aren't that stupid..."
Sumiflan 2:
>Exit the vent and fly along the ceiling, keep a look out for another laser shooter.
>Now that we have a better view are there any vents or other potential exits?
>Assess our Sakuya magic
Probe:
>Stay in the vent and observe.
>Assess our Sakuya magic
Currently unnamed clone:
>Peek out the door of the room.//I'm half tempted to bug one of the cops with one of the vent Dais lol, is that bad? I'm not actually going to do it, so don't worry.
//Hold on.....> You did. You aren't clothed.
Sumidai-chan:
>Didn`t we take off our clothing before going to bed ? Are we even dressed for that matter ? And if so with what ?
>"Eh i don`t mind, you were just worried."
Sumiflan 2:> You think there might be one in another corner.
>Any sign of a laser shooter?
>Get close to the nearest door, but stay above it.
Probe:
>Keep observing the men.
Unnamed clone:
>Close the door.
Sumidai:
>Is the kitten still sleeping?
ShinBug:> Shinmyoumaru shrugs. Anything is fine.
> "Oh! Sure! What would you like to eat?"
MikoBug:
> "Yep! We wanted to see if we actually could. It's really nice, like I'm giving her a full-bodied hug! It's kinda hard to move around from the extra weight, but it's still really nice. And she's totally safe and fine and everything with her bubble shield."
> You did. You aren't clothed.
> You freeze time again and quickly undo your necktie and grow your chest.>If we're not clothed, then why did we have our clothes when we were in the police place earlier?
> You enter Senkai through this method, running out of magic a few seconds after you arrive.
Sumidai-chan:>Hold off on this until clarification of us being clothed has been given.
>"Oh sure.....wait..."
>Examine to ourselves and blush.
>"E-Ehm....."
>Quickly grab our dress if it`s around.
>"Sorry you had to look at that..."
>If we're not clothed, then why did we have our clothes when we were in the police place earlier?//Error. //At least 3 Daiyousei's at every moment at different places... who can also make 3 more of themselves... Gah...
>Does this means our clones are naked?
ShinBug:> "Sure." Shinmyoumaru says. I wonder how her cooking is...
> "Well, I can make you both something to eat once the primary me wakes up, if that's okay."
MikoBug:> "Some things may be going too far Daiyousei. What you're describing probably isn't, but it might be close." Miko says.
> "It's been perfectly safe so far. Flora's protected by the bubble, and I'm able to heal any discomfort and pain away."
> Shrug.
> "I mean, I know everyone has thought it's weird, but I've done a lot of weird things over the past several days, and basically all of them have been good for me, so I wanna keep trying things even if other people find them weird."
Sumibug (And by extension, the clones):
>We have Patchouli magic, yes?
Sumibug:
>Assess all magic.
>> You do.Cirno magic, Lily magic, (A lot of) Sanae magic, Aya magic, Sunny Magic, (A tremendous amount of) Rumia magic, Orange magic, Meiling magic, a bit of Sakuya magic, Remilia magic, Flandre magic,(A lot of) Patchouli Magic,(A lot of) Alice magic, Marisa magic, Suika magic, Wakasagihime magic, Kagerou magic, (A lot of) Seija magic, and Suika-Sakuya magic,>_
Sumidai-chan:>Do this.
>"Oh sure.....wait..."
>Examine to ourselves and blush.
>"E-Ehm....."
>Quickly grab our dress if it`s around.
>"Sorry you had to look at that..."
Sumidai-chan:
>"Oh sure.....wait..."
>Examine to ourselves and blush.
>"E-Ehm....."
>Quickly grab our dress if it`s around.
>"Sorry you had to look at that..."
>Do this.> You quickly retrieve your dress and cover yourself.
>Do this.> You aren't sure if you could just make Flan clones one at a time.
Sumidai:
>If we absorbed a flan clone after we got dressed and remake her, will she be clothed? Or do we have to dispell all flan clones at once and re-make them?
>"I think they're going to try and flush the other mes out with gas. I hear some of them mentioning gas... What kind of gas does the police use?"
Sumiflan 2 and Probe:
>Create a Patchouli bubble around each of us, make sure its inside our cloak.
Sumiflan 2:
>Quietly drop to the floor and go under the door, be wary of lasers.
>Once on the other side, fly up above the door and look around.
>Do we see anything that could be clothes or something that holds clothes.
ShinBug:> "Mm..." Shinmyoumaru frowns a bit. "Alright." I hope it's not too long.
> "I guess we'll just have to wait, then."
MikoBug:> "Don't worry. You probably won't do anything like that anytime soon."
> Wilt in sadness.
> "...mrrrrrr..."
ShinBug:> "We can wait." Shinmyoumaru says. It's not too bad...
> "Sorry...it'll be instantly ready, though, at least! The original me pretty much just has to come over here."
MikoBug:> "Don't be so down. Everyone here liked fusion." Miko says.
> "It's not that...I'm just...I dunno, I thought I had found something else neat and new. But everyone else seems to hate it and think it's weird..."
>Are all sleeping Dais accounted for? As in, did any of them somehow die during the night? (Especially Dai X and 4)> None of them seem to have died.
Sumidai:
>"I'm not. It's just that I don't know much about the outside world, and until Miss Renko woke up you were really the only person from here I could consult..."
Probe:
>While we're here, keep eavesdropping on the conversation below.
Sumiflan 2:
>Can we get under the door at the other end? Or is it one of those fancy doors like the one in "our room"
ShinDai:> "D-Drowning!?" Shinmyoumaru jumps. But we're in her!
> "Oh, I'm awake now. Wait, am I drowning???"
DPR:
> "Ackpt!"
> Start swimming! We can't drown here, too many people are depending on us to not die!
MikoBug:> "Well, you're doing something that looks like you're pregnant with a full grown fairy..." Miko says.
> "...I guess...but it's still disappointing. Maybe everyone's gonna think I'm a weirdo now..."
Sumiflan 2:> You warp Probe over to you and split up.
>Warp Probe next to us, make sure she flies.
>Lead her down the hall, be wary of lasers.
>Go under the door at the end.
>Fly up to the ceiling.
>Do we see clothes or clothes containers?
Probe:
>Break off from Sumiflan 2 when the hall splits off and start following that route.
Sumidai:
>Did we dress ourselves yet?
>If not, hand the kitten(How did we not drop her when we grabbed the dress?)to the unnamed clone and dress ourselves. Then take the kitten back.
DPR:> You get out of the lake, then look around. This area looks unfamiliar. You do spot a familiar face at the land however.
> Surface our head, then fly the rest our body out of the lake.
> Wipe our eyes and look around. Where are we?
ShinBug:
> "Oh! It's okay, I'm okay."
MikoBug:> You have never seen a pregnant fairy or even heard of it being possible. There's no good reason it shouldn't be possible though. Just people saying fairies shouldn't.
> ...Do fairies get pregnant? Do we even know?
> Blink.
> "I...dunno why that's bad, but okay."
Sumiflan 2:> There's another door leading elsewhere.
>Any exits?
>Was there any other splits in the hallway?
Probe:
>Fly under our door and above it on the other side.
>Look around. Check for clothes or clothes storage, as well as new routes.
DPR:> You can.
> Can we feel Gasanae's life energy from here?
> Can we see anyone else?
> Frown.
> "Yes! I almost drowneded!"
DPT:
> Who's awake inside us?
Prime:> "O-Oh!" Gasanae hides her face behind her umbrella. "S-Sorry. I'm really sorry."
>Frown.
>"That wasn't very funny! I could've drowned! Do you know how many people are still fused with me!? And do you know how many people, including 181 good fairies, depend on my clones right now? If I died almost all of those clones would disappear!"
Probe:> There are. Most are closed, but one of the people with the smoke thing is near an open window, allowing the smoke to leave through it.
>Any windows?
Sumiflan 2:
>Repeat the process with the other door.
DPR:> Gasanae sighs, lowering her umbrella..
> Continue frowning, but then let it fade into a grin.
> "...Aww, it's okay, I guess, since no one actually died. But...maybe a counter-surprise is in order!"
DPT:
> Head over to where Seija and Shinny are.
MikoBug:> "Wouldn't they still ask why you decided to do it?" Tojiko asks.
> "Maybe. I could just tell people what's going on, though."
Sumiflan 2:> There are a lot of places to sit, and people who aren't armed or in a similar outfit.
>Examine the room further.
Probe:
>What about vents?
Sumidai:
>"Huh, one of me I think found an exit... But I don't think I'll have them leave just yet..."
>Are any other dais awake yet? Specifically: Secunde, 4, X, Medibug, The Army, Barricade, Sendai.
DPR:> You point your palm towards Gasanae and warp growth magic into both of her chests, making them both the size of her body and tearing her outfit as well. Her umbrella is pushed under her chest.
> Cackle evilly.
> "Let's just see about that!"
> Point an open palm toward Gasanae, and warp enough growth magic into her chest that each of her breasts individually becomes as large as the rest of her body.
DPT:
> Where are Seija and Shinny inside us, anyway? Are they in the Shinnyhouse we conjured up?
> Poof a notepad and a pencil into our hands and smile.
> "Hi ladies! What can I get for ya?"
2:> "Sure." Hamiya says as you head towards her voice and the bathroom.
> "Oh, thanks! You gonna join?"
> Head toward Hamiya and the bath.
MikoBug:> "Not everyone's the same." Tojiko says.
> "I'd just tell them what I told you, I guess."
Barricade:
> Once we're properly awake, look around at the people in the room, judging who's awake and who isn't. Also visually inspect Dai 4. (Don't try to rush the waking process, though.)
Barricade:> You are still blocking the door. Medicine is in front of you, sitting down. Everyone in here last night is still here, asleep. Koa is under the covers this time, holding onto the other you (Sendai).
>Wake up fully.
>Are we still blocking the door?
>Look around. Is everyone that was in the house last night accounted for?
Sumibug:> You pet the kitten.
>"If they get into any trouble, I could just warp them here. Or they could escape into Senkai. Plus I, the one who actually had the cat, am safe for now, as well as the little one, and that's all that matters."
>Pet the cat and smile.
>"I kinda want Belgrade to meet her... Do you think they'd get along well?"
Sumiflan 2:
>Any doors?
>What do the people seem to be doing?
Probe:
>What do the people in here seem to be doing?
> There's a few more doors and doorways leading elsewhere. There's a lot of men seemingly relaxing in here. Women as well. From the looks of it, some of the doors lead to bathrooms. There aren't any clothes lying around. There's a bit of smoke coming from a couple of the people as well. Actually, coming from something their holding to their mouth as if to eat it, but not actually doing so.>_
Barricade:> Medicine frowns.
>"Oh, good morning, Miss Medicine. Forgive me, but I'm not really ready to start until the me inside you is awake. I didn't want you starting without me, you know? Also, I wanted to ask Belgrade something before we left, but she still seems to be asleep."
Sumiflan 2:> You still have a lot of Patchy magic and Sunny magic.
>Start heading for the door.
>How is our Patchy and Sunny magic holding up?
Probe:
>Leave and backtrack to the other split in the hall and follow that.
Probe, Sumiflan2:> You continue.
>Keep going.
Barricade:
>"Is there anything I can do for you in the meantime?"
DPR:> You warp over to Gasanae and create another pair of breasts below her current one, growing them to the same size as the others.
> Warp over to Gasanae.
> Giggle.
> "Surprise!"
> Touch Gasanae's side or back or something and create another chest on her body below her original one. Then warp enough growth magic into her new chest so it's the same size as her original one currently is.
DPT:
> Nod.
> "One glazed donut, one milk, and one shrug coming right up!"
> Poof a table into existence between (or otherwise just simply near) Seija and Shinny.
> Poof a tasty glazed donut on a plate and a glass of milk onto the table next to Shinny.
> Poof a tasty hamburger on a plate onto the table next to Seija.
2:> "Thank you." Hamiya smiles.
> "Ah, this looks and smells nice~"
MikoBug:> "They probably won't want to hear it, or just stay away from you." Tojiko says. "Think about how Reimu might respond."
> Look confused.
> "Huh? I don't get it..."
Probe:> You fly under the door and up to the ceiling.
>Author personal, huh? Maybe there's people writing books in there.
>Fly under the door and up to the ceiling, be wary of lasers or other potentially harmful stuffs.
>Look around
Barricade:
>"Are you sure?"
DPR:> "N-No, it was something else." Gasanae retrieves her Gohei and causes a miracle. You're not sure what she even did however.
> Look distressed.
> "Oh! I'm sorry! Did I go too far?"
DPT:
> Smile.
> "I hope you like them!"
2:> She isn't.
> Is Hamiya nude?
MikoBug:
> Look a little distressed.
> "Erm...I hope Miss Reimu would give me a chance to explain myself..."
DPR:> "Nothing to worry about. Could you fix me now? I can't really do it myself, since what happened to you might happen to me."
> "'Cuz we were already outside, and no one's around."
> Look curious.
> "What'd you do, anyway?"
2:> "Anything you need, just tell me." Hamiya says.
> "All right, I'm gonna get in."
> Slip into the bath.
MikoBug:> "I was just telling you how to make things better. You could explain it to them differently to see if they're... interested." Tojiko frowns as she says the last bit.
> Look entirely deflated.
> "...sorry..."
Probe:> It's regular.
>Is it the fancy kind of door we can't get under? Or could we get under it?
Sumiflan 2:
>How are things on our end?
Dai-chan Prime:
>"Gasanae... you`re worrying me... you know you can trust me."
>Undo what we did to her and help her out.
>"Dunno, let me ask her in a bit."
DPR:> You do not know this lake.
> Do we know what lake this is?
> "Sure! Sorry."
> Warp the growth magic out of Gasanae and back into us for storage.
> Unmake Gasanae's extra chest.
Probe:> You fly over to the other door, going under it when you get to it.
>Cautiously go under the other door.
Sumiflan 2:
>What are the men doing
Sumidai:
>How are things over here?
2:> "Feels great huh?" Hamiya asks.
> "Uuuoooaaahhhhhhh~"
MikoBug:> "Try not asking if they're outright interested in trying it, but what their opinions on it are." Miko says.
> "I'm not really sure how to explain it differently, though. I mean, I know what it looks like to someone that's not me. I'm not that dumb. So I feel like I gotta explain it as honestly as possible. Because I feel like, if I try to hide the things that look obviously bad on the surface, people might feel like I'm trying to trick them, and then they'll get angry with me."
DPR:> "It's the shrine's lake. It came here with us." Gasanae says.
> Nod.
> "All right. Hey, what lake is this, anyway?"
Dai-chan Prime:> Gasanae shrugs.
>"So ? What will we do today ?"
>Did we already dress ourselves ? If not go there and get dressed.
2:> "I'll take that as a yes..." Hamiya smiles.
> "Eheheheheheeeee~"
MikoBug:> "I'm not too sure many people would be interested in doing such a thing though."
> Nod.
> "Yeah, I'm starting to realize that now. 'Swhy I didn't ask any of you. Well, in your case, it was also because you're a bit too big right now, ehehe."
Sumidai:> "Great." Sumireko says.
>"Good morning, Miss Sumireko. How did you sleep?"
>Pet the kitten. Is it awake?
Probe:
>Examine the screens further
>Observe. Try to listen in on any conversations.
Sumiflan 2:
>Cautiously move under the door and to the ceiling on the other side.
>Look around.
Dai-chan Prime:
>"Huh ? Oh ! Um..."
>Blush a bit.
>"Right."
>Go there and examine that shrine maiden outfit, then wear it.
>"How do i look ?"
DPR:
> Dry ourselves off before putting on the clothes.
DPT:
> "Miss Sanae says it's her shrine's lake."
Prime:> You start to wait to dry off.
>what happened to our clothes?
>if we don't know: "Um... what happened to what I was wearing last night?"
2:> You relax in the water.
> Relax in the water.
MikoBug:
> "Maybe. Won't know until I ask, though."
//Going to work.> There's the room SumiFlan 2 is in. The room you were originally in. There's even a view of that floaty thing.
Probe:
>Which rooms seem to be the most interesting?
>could we create a valid warp into the rooms on the screens, or would we just end up clipping the screen if we tried?
Sumiflan 2:
>any other doors or vents in here?
//break> You can see the floaty thing. There's another screen with a similar view.
Probe:
>view of the floaty thing? As in we can see the floaty thing in a room, or are we looking through the floaty thing's eyes somehow?
Sumibug:> "What are you talking about?" Sumireko asks.
>"So one of me found a room with a bunch of screens, which seem to be looking out into rooms where the laser shooters are... And the other me found a weird room with metal doorways..."
>describe any details the clones see that I missed.
DPR:> "I could get you a towel." Gasanae says. "Gimme a sec." Gasanae holds her umbrella up into the air.
> "Um...is there some way I can dry off quickly?"
DPT:
> "You're welcome!"
2:> You watch as Hamiya removes her top, moving her arms back through the holes and taking it off completely.
> Watch.
MikoBug:> Miko nods.
> "Thanks. I'm gonna need it, I think..."
DPR:> You wait.
> Wait.
DPT:
> How are Seija and Shinny doing?
2:> "I think we'll be fine." Hamiya steps into the bathtub, then lies down.
> "Of course you can! I want you to. And I could make us both smaller so we can fit better if you want."
MikoBug:> "Sounds like imprisonment, now that I think about it more." Tojiko says.
> "Yeah, I know I have to ask people that aren't doing anything, since they aren't really able to do anything once we do it."
Sumidai-chan:> You pet the kitten.
>"Well.... um... the police found out about one of my powers, and they kidnapped me so that they could make use of it, now i am investigating the place."
>Smile.
>"But at least i saved this lil kitty !"
>Pet cute kitten.
MikoBug:> "Fair enough." Tojiko says.
> "Well, if the person wants out, then I'd let then out. Trying to trap them would be mean and bad, and probably also dangerous to me."
Sumidai-chan:> "A bath? Sure." Maribel says.
>"Sorry, but i couldn't just let this cute cat die, and i tried to hide it as best i could."
>Sad face.
>"....um... could i take a bath too later please ?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "I don't see why not." Kogasa says. "And don't worry, it's fine."
>"I hope i didn't disturb your night with onee-chan much Kogasa, i can call you just Kogasa right ?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "Like what?" Kogasa asks.
>"Good to hear !"
>Smile, then put on a confused face.
>"Does seeing me like... this... not bother you Kogasa ?"
Sumidai-chan:> "I'll take you there." Maribel says, getting out of bed.
>"Okay, so where is the bathroom ?"
MikoBug:> "Well." Futo says. "You?"
> Look to Futo.
> "Good morning, Miss Futo. How are you doing?"
Sumiflan 2:> You're not close enough to see any if there are any.
>Is there a vent in this room?
Probe:
>Keep watching and listening.
Barricade:> Medicine is still sitting down. Dai 4, Belgrade, and Lucien are waking up. Koa, Medidai, and Secunde are still asleep.
>How are things at home?
>Are any Dais at home waking up? This includes Secunde and the army.
//Can't we just will Medidai-chan to awake ?//I was going to wait until Belgrade is fully awake.
Sumidai-chan:>Hand the kitten to the unnamed clone before we follow.
>"Okay !"
>Follow !
MikoBug:> "Thou art not well?" Futo asks.
> "Okay, I guess."
4:> You give yourself a bit longer to wake up fully.
> Once we awaken fully, assess how we feel, particularly our belly.
>And Dai X?> Dai X, as well as the army Dais, are asleep.
Barricade:
>Smile warmly as our children awaken.
//Can't we just will Medidai-chan to awake ?
Sumidai-chan:
>"Okay !"
>Follow !
//I was going to wait until Belgrade is fully awake.> You give the kitten to the unnamed clone.
>Hand the kitten to the unnamed clone before we follow.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Oh." Kogasa looks down a bit. "OH!" She blocks herself with her umbrella. "S-Sorry."
>"Like um... naked like this..."
Barricade:> Belgrade nods with a smile, flying next to you.
>"Good Morning Lucien and Belgrade. Did you sleep well?"
>"Oh, and Belgrade, we have a surprise guest."
>Gesture to Medicine.
>"Miss Medicine tried to take you again last night, but we talked it over, and the two of us are on mostly good terms now! Isn't that nice?"
All Dais:
>Give Medibug a gentle mental nudge. Not enough to force her awake, but enough to prod her into waking up on her own faster.
Probe:> There is still nothing new happening.
>Anything new?
Sumiflan 2:
>Start flying around, hugging the ceiling, taking note of doors, windows, vents, and police.
DPT:> "I'm still hungry..." Shinmyoumaru frowns.
> "It's okay."
MikoBug:
> "Eh...we were just talking about something I discovered last night, that I think is neat but everyone else thinks is weird, so I'm a bit deflated about it."
Sumibug:> You stop Maribel before she gets out of sight.
>"Miss Maribel! WAIT!!"
>leave the bathroom and try to catch her in the hall.
>"Sorry for not answering. I'm trying to control many clones at once, so I get distracted sometimes..."
>DO fairies have to... you know?
Barricade:> Belgrade nods.
>"And I'm gonna help Miss Medicine achieve her dream once the me in her wakes up. I'm wondering if you'd like to come with us, Belgrade. You know, so it will be like mother, daughter, and new friend bonding. So, how about it? Wanna help us free other doll's? Without violence, of course... That would be mean..."
>status of medibug
Sumibug:> "Oh."
>"Anyway, to answer your question... um... fairies don't NEED to go... because we really don't need to eat or drink... but we COULD go if we wanted to... its complicated..."
Barricade:> "Kidnap?" Lucien questions
>"Well you're not my enemy anymore, and believe it or not, I actually want to TRY and be your friend. Besides, you already know Belgrade. And I'm related to her. Oh speaking of that, Belgrade, dear. Is there anything you want to say to Miss Medicine now that you can talk?"
>"Oh, and Lucien, this is Miss Medicine. She tried to kidnap your big sister once, but I talked with her and we're on kinda good terms now. Miss Medicine, this is my son Lucien, and Belgrade's little brother. "
>examine our children
DPT:
> Frown.
> "I was afraid of that. Hmm...I'm gonna ask Miss Sanae about that when she gets back. She might have some ideas of how to make it so it's actually filling."
Dai-chan Prime:> "It still tasted good." Shinmyoumaru says.
>"O-Oh ! Sorry for pointing it out, it's o-okay for you to look, i was just a bit curious..."
Sumidai-chan:> "Do you not like being that size?" Maribel asks.
>"Uh huh, there's also a lot else i dunno about fairies and myself, like how are they naturally born exactly, if we can get pregnant, why am i so much taller than the average fairy and why do i have such a.... uhhh.... size like this, it's big even for humans and youkai....."
MikoBug:> "Thine ideas surely art creative..." Futo steps back a bit.
> "Yeah...basically, I made a new fairy friend yesterday, and she's currently sleeping safe and sound in a bubble inside my belly, because we were curious if we could do it. I think it's like giving her a full-bodied hug and a comfy place to sleep, but everyone else just thinks it's really weird."
4:> You would like to just go back to sleep. You don't think you'll be completely up anytime soon after staying up for so long.
> How're we doing for waking up?
DPR:> "O-Okay..." Kogasa says, moving her umbrella. She's blushing.
> "Well...I guess I just plain don't mind if you see. It's not really something I want to happen all the time, but it doesn't bother me very much."
4:> She is.
> Check how the inside of our belly feels. Is Flora stirring at all? If not, go back to sleep.
MikoBug:> "My apologies..." Futo says.
> Grimace a bit.
> "Like I said, everyone thinks it's weird."
DPR:> "So you'd just give up if someone already saw?" Sanae hands you the towel.
> Shrug.
> "No one else is out here. And if they were, they've already seen, so what's the point?"
4:> You sit up and lean.
> Try to sit up and lean forward so our head is as close to our protruding belly as we can comfortably get it.
> Take on a quiet, soft tone of voice.
> "Flora?"
Barricade:
> Look toward 4 with a slight smile to see if Medicine's attention is drawn that way.
MikoBug:> "Again, there still could be weirder. And people could have worse reactions too." Miko says.
> "It's okay, it's not your fault. It's mine for having such weird ideas."
SumiDai:> "Curiosity is good." Maribel smiles. "I'll leave you to your bath now. Unless you still want to talk right now."
> "No, I like it well enough. I like it a lot, in fact! But it's still out of the ordinary, you know? So it has me curious."
DPR:> You begin to dry off with the towel.
> Take the towel and start drying off.
> "What do you mean?"
2:> The tub is still very relaxing, but you think it might be cooling down to a middle temperature a bit.
> How're we holding up?
4:> "It was okay. I'm still kinda tired..." Flora says.
> Smile.
> Glance toward Lucien, then look back at our belly.
> "Good morning, Flora. How did you sleep?"
MikoBug:> "Causing an incident isn't completely bad. It opens up new opportunities to meet others, as well as test their power and yours." Miko says.
> "That's true. I've never caused an incident, at least. Or I don't think I have..."
SumiDai:> "Not really. We've been under the covers." Maribel says. "It's not like we were all looking at each other a lot either."
> "We could do both. I mean, we've all already seen each other, uh, like that anyway."
Barricadedai-chan://I don't think you parsed this one by Raf.
>Nod.
>"Yep, i used the life essence of the nature and a part of my own to bring her to life, i also had onee-chan help me give her speech later on, she is a doll Belgrade is a doll, but she is just different due to also being part fairy."
//Are you going to continue Tactical Daispionage Action Metal Gear Solid? I was intentionally not interfering with it because I wasn't sure what you wanted to do.//I will.
DPR:> "Er... Well just finish drying off."
> "Well, maybe if it had just happened. But I've been out here for long enough that it's like, why bother?"
Dai-chan Prime:> You finish drying and put on the outfit.
>"Like, Sanae is my onee-chan, and you are also pretty close to me too now that think of it, so i guess i have gotten used to being around you."
>Smile and once done drying up dress up.
>"And i dunno if anyone would even want to look, umm, besides to see the obvious."
>Cover up our chest a bit.
2:> Hamiya smiles back, before it turns into an upset frown, and she sits up and sighs
> Smile.
> "As long as we want. Days, weeks, months...even forever."
4:> "Mhm." Flora says.
> Look to Lucien and shake our head.
> "This is my friend Flora. She's a sunflower fairy. She needed somewhere to sleep last night."
> Look back to our belly.
> "I'm still feeling pretty tired too, Flora. I think we should both go back to sleep."
Barricadedai-chan:
>Nod.
>"Yep, i used the life essence of the nature and a part of my own to bring her to life, i also had onee-chan help me give her speech later on, she is a doll Belgrade is a doll, but she is just different due to also being part fairy."
//I don't think you parsed this one by Raf.> "See. Mom just wants to help, and she's a good person." Belgrade says.
Barricade:
>Wait for them to finish before saying anything.
>"And Belgrade is right, Miss Medicine. You don't really need them if what you're trying to do is free dolls. I still believe intimidation and threats is not the way to do it. Besides, if it was easier to be around you, then people might like you more and be willing to cooperate."
>"Besides, I already told you ways you could possibly get them back if you really wanted them, but you shouldn't do it with me still in you, or else it might affect you again... I don't want you to almost die again, Miss Medicine. You're a good person, just very misunderstood, and good people don't deserve to die..."
MikoBug:> "Not entirely true. Reimu would fight you with danmaku as per the spellcard laws. If you did something that went too far out of line, then she might have to do something different. You could probably stand against her in a duel for a while." Miko says.
> "You're super strong, though. If I caused an incident, Miss Reimu would smash me into the ground so fast I'd be dead before I even did anything."
SumiDai:> "Oh. Um, the bathtub isn't even large enough for all of us." Maribel blushes.
> "Yeah, but everyone undressed before getting into bed. I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine, but it doesn't bother me. We could even invite Miss Renko and Miss Sumireko down as well."
2:> "Well, I'll die of long age, eventually..."
> Look mildly distressed.
> "Hamiya? What's wrong?"
4:> "Yea." Flora says.
> "Okay. Oh, Flora, is your bubble still intact for keeping you safe?"
MikoBug:> "Getting in the way of what?" Tojiko asks.
> "Miss Reimu killed Cirno like a week ago like it was nothing just for getting in the way, and I've been killed a couple times in the past week myself. I ain't playing that game if I don't have to! Dying hurts a lot!"
SumiDai:> You do.
> "Oh! Um, I meant I could take a bath while we still all talked about stuff. But if everyone wants to take a bath, I can just make us all small enough that we fit."
MerryDai:
> Do we have Patchy magic?
> Continue listening to Merry's thoughts at all times.
Dai-chan Prime:> "What do you mean the whole shrine maiden thing? Like, what we do?"
>"Thanks Kogasa ! It means a lot to me."
>Turn to Onee-chan and nod.
>"Sure, i would love to meet new places, and then you could teach me about the whole shrine maiden thing."
Prime:> "Oh sure. I'll always be happy to help you." Sanae says.
>"Maybe you guys can help me with something as well."
//I'll let them ask "what is it" before I elaborate. I'll do both that and continue the police station stuffs when I'm actually at a computer again, which will be about 1.5 to 2 hours from now.
Barricade:
>"Yeah, we can do that when we're out and about. I'm fine with Alice, but I'm not sure about Miss Yuuka... Sure, my friend Wriggle is friends with her, and I want to try and make friends with her too... but I'm not sure if she likes me very much... We could try to see her, but I don't know how she'd react to me and Belgrade... Anyway, all we need to do is wait for the me in you to wake up and we can go."
//Actually back at my computer now.> "It's fine. You're with me. " Medicine says.
>Is Medidai awake yet?
Probe, Sumiflan 2:> You found a few vents along the top.
>Report.
2:
> Look sad.
> "Oh..."
> Look determined.
> "Well, not without a fight, you won't! Maybe we can find a way to stop it."
Dai-chan 2:> You move over and hug Hamiya.
>Put on a considerably nervous face.
>"D-Don't say that ! Sure we will all die someday, but what matters is the time we will be together, and by then, i am 100% sure i will never forget you, nor will i stop loving you."
>Hug her gently.
>"Let's not worry about that now, and enjoy life together."
4:> You lie back down and go to sleep.
> "Okay, good. Have a good extra sleep, Flora. I'm going back to sleep too."
> Lie back down and go back to sleep.
MikoBug:> "Oh. We shouldn't mention the moon thing then." Tojiko says.
> "Um...it was the first time I was big enough to touch the invisible sky ceiling. Miss Reimu was coming after me really mad. I think Cirno-chan was gonna try to stop her, but she vaporized her almost instantly. It was really scary..."
Sumidai-chan:
>"It sounds super nice, we are all friends after all."
SumiBug:> "I'll ask the others." Maribel says, turning around.
> "Sure!"
Sumiflan 2:> You fly into a nearby vent.
>Enter the nearest vent if we can.
Probe:
>Continue to observe.
Dai-chan Prime:> You get ready to follow them, and they take to the air.
>"Uh huh, and i kinda learned how to soothe pain and mild stuff with your magic, but i wish to be able to help more than that, if i am going to wear this, i have to honor it !"
>Take off with our group and follow them in the meanwhile.
Prime:> "A fairy village sounds nice." Sanae says.
>"Alright, so... long story short, that Medicine person sent a bunch of fairies to my house last night to try and take my daughter again. I explained what really happened to all of them... And one thing led to another and now I think all 181 of them think I'm their leader or something now... So all of us talked. And we decided to do something ambitious. We're going to try and make a fairy village! A place that all good fairies could call home. What do you think of that?"
>Let them respond.
Prime:> "Oh. You need space for it... It could totally be back across the lake then!" Sanae says. "I'd just have to ask Suwako and Kanako if it's fine."
>"Anyway, we were going to try and find a place to build it once all of them woke up. Do you have any ideas, Onee-chan or Kogasa? It can't be too close to the human village, obviously... And it shouldn't force any youkai to move out of their homes either... Oh! And it should be an easy place to get to and remember where it is... So that any fairies that get lost searching for stuffs and thingies to build with can easily find it again."
2:> "Right. Let's not worry about it now..." Hamiya says.
> Pat Hamiya's back a bit.
MikoBug:> "You reached a height that dwarfed the one Reimu saw." Tojiko says.
> "Huh? Why?"
SumiBug:> You follow Maribel back into the room.
> "Wait, I'll come too!"
> Follow Merry.
DPR:
> "Oh, by the way, Miss Sanae, you know how you can use your magic to create more arms and legs and stuff? Can you make more, like, body so you could make someone like a horsey-person? Like, body growing out behind someone from about their butt, or so, until it extends out for a while and the butt stop, and then two more legs go to the ground. Could you do that?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "Making more body like that would probably need lots of faith, I think." Sanae says. "Why would you want that."
>"Yes, i know it sounds weird, but oh well, it was Dai-chan 2's idea so...."
Dai-chan 2:> You kiss Hamiya.
>"Yes, there is still a lot to come..."
>Give her a kiss.
MikoBug:> "Reimu still could've seen." Tojiko says. "I'm not even sure if she did or not."
> "Yeah, but that was here instead of Gensokyo."
SumiBug:> "Would either of you like to take a bath together?" Maribel asks. "Daiyousei has a way we could all fit, and you two wanted to think of each other as sisters too. It'll work."
> "Okay, Miss Merry, go ahead."
//Half tempted to have Probe reveal her voice only.> You continue.
Sumiflan 2:
>Move through the vents till it either branches off or we see an exit to another room..
//I have a slight preference for not playing more games than we have to, if only to avoid irritating them further. but I'm not especially attached to that stance.
DPR:
> "Because it might be fun! Trying weird stuff has worked out pretty well for me so far, y'know?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "We're gonna ask Suwako and Kanako." Sanae says.
>"Well, i dunno how she got that, maybe it was a dream ?"
>Shrug.
>"So where are we going anyways ?"
MikoBug:> "Would it be better to tell her about it or keep it a secret from her?" Tojiko asks.
> "Well, there's a lot of mes out there today, and she hasn't come to beat any of them up yet, so I dunno if she knows."
SumiBug:> You could mostly see Miko's hairstyle and earmuffs.
> When we saw GigaMiko last night, was it clear from our PoV that it was Miko, or at least a person? Or was it all just a blur?
> "Yeah! I can make us all smaller than normal so we all fit."
Dai-chan 2:> "That's not all I do you know." Hamiya says.
>"We could go out looking for scoops."
//I'd kinda rather do it face to face and standing on the ground (i.e. not giving away that we can fly), but on the whole I'd rather talk to them than not talk to them at this point.//They probably already know we can fly, considering they know we somehow got into the vent... Plus one of us airdodged the laser. Besides, I'm not going to uncloak, so they won't really see us until we're on the ground.
2:> "R-Right." Hamiya rubs one of her ears a bit. "It's not like there's anyone trying to get up the mountain anyways..."
> "Oh yeah, you patrol too, right?"
MikoBug:> "If you say so..." Tojiko says.
> "Mmm...I think it'd be okay to ask about space travel to the moon, actually. We definitely can't tell her about last night, though. And, um, if she knows already...I'll tell her it was all me."
SumiBug:> "In your belly?" Renko asks. "Isn't that like you ate her or are pregnant with her? Well, it's probably not at that section, so it can't be the latter..."
> "New stuff can be good! Like last night, my new fairy friend that's bigger than Cirno-chan slept inside my belly, because we wanted to see if she could. It was like giving her a full-bodied hug!"
Barricade:> The small doll moves behind Medicine.
>"Wow, the me in you sure is a heavy sleeper, Miss Medicine... Maybe we could all talk to pass the time... Maybe you're little doll friend can join in too, she's seems so quiet and shy..."
//I'm not going to go through with the idea of Probe speaking to the cops unless one of you okays it...
Probe:
>Keep observing
Sumiflan 2:
>See anything interesting yet?
//They probably already know we can fly, considering they know we somehow got into the vent... Plus one of us airdodged the laser. Besides, I'm not going to uncloak, so they won't really see us until we're on the ground.> You get to a high point and sit down.
Probe:
>Is there a high place we could sit/stand on? If so, do it.
>"Um... Excuse me...?"
Probe:> The room's movements and noise stops, and it's quiet.
>"Hey... Don't be alarmed... I'm not going to hurt you... But I don't know if you're going to hurt me... That's partially why I made myself hard to find... That, and... Y-You didn't really give me anything to cover up... You know, if you're going to kidnap a girl in her sleep against her will, you could at least be nice enough to give her some clothes for when she wakes up... I-I had to preserve my modesty somehow... I mean, I was going to just head back to the room you kept me in as soon as I found some clothes, but I couldn't find any..."
>Prepare to move to a different spot in case they come close to finding us.
Medidai:> You are.
>Are we awake now?
>If yes: YAAAAAWWWWWN.... Good morning, Miss Medicine. I'm awake now, ready to go?
Barricade:
>Shrink back to normal size and move out of the way.
>"Oh, she just woke up."
>Smile, then look at Belgrade.
>"Now, Belgrade, dear. Please stay near us. I'd be worried sick if you suddenly ran off..."
Secunde and Army:> 4 is still sleeping.
>How many of the 180 seem to be awake?
>Does this mean 4 is re-awakening?
Probe:> The people look over to each other, and there's more whispering.
>"Well, that depends... What are you going to do to me if I reveal myself? You're going to experiment on me aren't you. I mean, if you do. I should probably give you a heads up that I probably won't survive whatever you put me thought... I'm actually a lot more fragile than I look... Why would you want to experiment on me anyway? You're the police, right? Aren't you supposed to be the good guys? I mean, if you really are the good guys, then you probably would've made a better impression if you just asked me nicely, instead of creepily following me and then kidnapping me in my sleep... Also, if you're not going to experiment on me, what do you need my cooperation for? I'm just curious... Please, be completely honest with me. I already said I won't hurt you, and nothing you say will change that. "
Barricade:> Belgrade nods, fling over to Medicine and the little doll accompanying her.
>"Well, there's another me in Miss Medicine, so you can just stick close to her. Really the only thing this me had a purpose for was to block the door... I mean, I could come if I really wanted to, but the other me should be enough."
Medibug:
>Resume listening to Medicine's thoughts at all times.
>Hey, Miss Medicine, mind if this me speaks to Belgrade? It will be through your body, so just to let you know I'll never do it without your permission...
//By the way, the only reason I'm NOT asking Belgrade if she wants to join Medibug in Medicine is because I'm mainly concerned about her spoiling the fact we can read Medicine's thoughts.
Probe:> "We're not making any promises."
>"I'll cooperate with you, if I trust that you won't hurt me or take me prisoner. And, just so you know, I could've escaped at anytime, but I decided to stick around and at least try to talk to you people, because surely you had a good reason to bring me here against my will... And I don't think I've done anything bad at all since I woke up here, so that has to help my case somewhat... And what is that noise?"
>Prepare for something drastic to happen, so we can act before something happens to us.
Sumiflan 2:> You peek over the drop. It's sorta short, and there's still a path after it.
>Peek out of the drop. But don't exit the vent.
Medibug:
>"See, I'll be right here with you, Belgrade. Of course, I won't speak unless Miss Medicine says its okay. It's her body after all... And it would be rude to use it for anything without permission... Anyway, lead on, Miss Medicine!"
>Alright, I'm done now. So where are we going first?
>Our fairy traits are still visible on Medicine, correct?
Barricadedai-chan:> They are.
>Pet cute Belgrade.
>"Have a nice day out there dear."
Dai-chan Prime:> Your ribbon is removed.
>"Oh alright."
>Are we still using that hair ribbon ? Or fid we take it off and let our hair loose.
>If we are, remove it since it will probably be wet.
Sumidai-chan:> The two nod.
>"Cmon now, just leave them there and let's take a bath."
SumiBug:> "Could we please stop talking about this." Renko asks.
> "And no, I didn't eat her. That'd be mean! She just went to sleep in my belly, and she was and still is perfectly safe and fine. My belly is pretty big and pretty heavy and makes it a bit hard to move, but it's still pretty nice."
MikoBug:> "I agreed to it, so I was prepared for any trouble." Miko says.
> Nod.
> "Uh-huh. I'm not going to get you all in trouble because of what I wanted to do."
DPR:> You wait outside with Kogasa.
> Wait outside.
MikoBug:> "Yes I'm sure." Miko says.
> "Are you sure? It's still pretty much my fault, and at least if something bad happens to me, I'll be fine later..."
SumiBug:> You head towards the bathroom, and the three girls follow you.
> "Oh, okay. Sorry."
> Head back toward the beth.
//Assuming no one else has grand plans for Barricade, I'm gonna see if she can take SumiBug's place inside Sumireko.> "Is there any way I could repay you?" Kogasa asks.
DPR:
> Smile.
> "You're welcome!"
MikoBug:> Miko smiles back.
> "All right."
> Smile.
> "Thanks, Miss Miko."
SumiBug:> You can.
> Can we feel Sumireko's life energy from a distance?
> We're already undressed, yes?
> "We probably don't want to fill the bath as much as normal if we're gonna be smaller, right? We don't want to have to keep swimming to stay afloat or anything."
RenBug:
> Are we awake yet? If so, resume listening to Renko's thoughts at all times.
Barricade:> You stop time, then warp your life energy into Sumireko, hiding your new extra features, then resume time.
> Stop time.
> Attempt to warp our life energy into Sumireko, using what SumiBug can feel. If we are successful, hide all of Sumireko's fusion features so she looks normal again (enhanced chest aside) and unstop time.
> Rename SumiBug as SumiDai.> Kogasa nods.
> Rename Barricade as SumiBug.
DPR:
> "Aww, I'm just happy you two are happy! But, um, I guess I'll let you know if I think of something?"
2:> "Is there something else you want? Do you want to stay in longer?" Hamiya asks.
> "Sure, if you want."
MikoBug:> "I don't think so... Something feels off about doing it." Tojiko says.
> "So, um, do we all want to try traveling to the moon, then? At a normal, won't-get-in-trouble size, of course."
(New) SumiBug:
> Listen to Sumireko's thoughts at all times.
(Formerly Barricade) Sumibug:> It seems like you did.
>Wait. Did we just warp... outside of Gensokyo? Even when previous attempts to warp between worlds failed?
Medidai-chan:
>"So how did you meet Miss Yuuka Medicine ?"
Dai-chan 4:
>Are we awake ? If so where are we ?
Medibug:> You are still getting extra rest.
>Oh, and I have to ask. Since you inherited some of my traits when I fusioned with you, how does it feel to have wings?
Probe:> More vent.
>"Well, there's the issue. How can I make any promises on my end if you don't make any on yours? I mean, I understand that me being so different probably has made you guys afraid of me, but believe me or not, I'm kinda afraid of you too... Anyway, cooperation means work together, so you need to work with me too. Besides, I think I already made it clear twice that I'm not a threat to you. I'm a lover, not a fighter. Besides, I'd probably die if I started a fight with you guys. And I don't like dying... It hurts a lot... Look. All I want is assurance that I won't be harmed, experimented on, or put to sleep... Just three simple things. And in return, I'll stay and cooperate with you."
Sumiflan 2:
>Path as in, more vent? Or a room?
//I have no problem with the deal or with Medicine heading out.> You stand up, and Hamiya does so as well.
2:
> "No, that's fine."
> Stand up.
> Are there towels close by?
MikoBug:> "Didn't we give enough of a view when she grew large?" Tojiko asks.
> Nod.
> "All right, that's understandable."
> Look to Miko.
> "In that case, unless you've changed your mind about letting a newspaper person in here to take pictures, I guess the only thing left to do is get back to normal."
SumiDai:> You watch as the water rises, filling up a bit past the middle.
> Watch the water rise.
//Back from the road.> "They still drink water. And it shouldn't be too hard to find any meat." Maribel says.
Sumidai:
>"Hey, Miss Maribel, what do cats eat other than fish, milk, and meat? I just want to know so I can get the right stuff when I bring the kitten back to Gensokyo..."
Medidai-chan:
>"Sure thing !"
>Head there with our group.
Medibug:> Your group heads out.
>Hey, maybe your shy doll friend can tell you how to get used to them. I mean, she has wings. Belgrade has some too. Ooh! Maybe you should try flapping them! I mean you should at least try them while you have them.
//And I will be driving for the next hour or so
Dai-chan Prime:> "Well, you don't have to worry that much about being injured. We recover quicker than humans. It still hurts of course." Kogasa frowns a bit. "As a karakasa, I am my umbrella. If it gets broken or something, then... yea. I haven't found out what happens if it's away from me for too long though."
>"So how is life as a youkai ? Is it any different than the life of a human ?"
>Try practicing our warp by warping a small danmaku pellet around, being careful as to not hit anyone or anything.
Probe:> "Sure." The man agrees.
>"Don't worry, I won't break my end of the deal as long as you guys don't break yours."
>"And I'd like to remain cloaked when I shake your hand if you don't mind... unless you want to get me some clothes... I'm still naked..."
>if he doesn't mind shaking our hand while cloaked, do all the following, otherwise do not:
>Float down in front of him, dispel our patchy bubble, grow to normal size, staying cloaked.
>Quickly inspect his hand. If it doesn't look like a trick, then go ahead and shake it.
>Prepare to use what little Sakuya magic we have to stop time if he tries anything undesirable.
>"There. My name is Daiyousei by the way, what's yours? Or should I call you Mr. Police Man?"
Sumiflan 2:> You continue.
>Continue through the vents.
2:> "Oh. Yea." Hamiya steps out of the bathtub. "Um, gimme a second. You can use the one I bring. Or do you want to dry off first and get it?"
> Point to the one towel.
> "Um...do you have any more?"
MikoBug:> "The ones who saw could still tell the tale." Tojiko says.
> "Well, the only reporters I know were asleep at the time, and it was done late at night, when not a lot of people would have still been awake."
SumiDai:> You shrink down and get into the bathtub. It feels nice. Not fantastic, but nice.
> Shrink down to an appropriate size such that four people of our size could comfortably fit in the tub, and then climb in.
Probe:> "We'll get you some clothes. Head back to the room for now."
>"So... Now what? Should I just try to find my way back to the room you were keeping me in? Or is there somewhere else I should go? Oh, um... And if it doesn't bother you... could I please have some clothes...?"
Medibug:> "There's not much to know about me other than I want emancipation for dolls." Medicine says. The only important thing anyways.
>What happened to listening to her thoughts at all times?
>I never said you HAD to... I was suggesting that you try it... So... Why don't you tell me a bit more about yourself while we fly? I mean, if we're working together, we should at the very least warm up to each other eventually... I'll tell you anything you want to know about me in return... Except how to fusion, of course... I don't want everybody knowing how to do that... Fusion can be potentially dangerous in the wrong hands. Thankfully, only me and a few other good people know how to do it on their own, and the others are sworn to secrecy.
Secunde:> Pretty much all of them are awake now.
>How much of the army is awake at this point?
2:> "Okay." Hamiya grabs the towel and starts to dry off.
> "No, that's fine. You can dry yourself first."
MikoBug:> "It should spread easily." Tojiko says.
> "Oh, I guess that's true..."
SumiDai:> You shrink everyone down to the same size as SumiDai. The each fly up, then into the bathtub.
> "Yeah, that'll do for space. Okay, here you all go."
RenBug, MerryBug, SumiBug:
> Shrink ourselves and our hosts down to the same proportional size.
Probe:> You try to open the door, but it doesn't move.
>"Alright."
>Try the door.
Medibug:> "Like?" We should be getting closer now. Medicine speeds up a bit.
>Well I already know that. I'm more curious about the other things about you.
Medibug:> "Can we just travel in silence?" Medicine asks. Belgrade's being quiet. Why can't she?
>I dunno, maybe hobbies? Your life story? What about friends? Are Miss Yuuka and that shy doll your only friends? Well, I mean until me and Belgrade came along, because I want to be your friend and I think she does too... Or are there more friends of yours I don't know about?
Probe:> The noise starts up again, and the thing blocking the door lifts up, giving you access to the door again.
>"Um... Could someone please open the door for me? It's not budging..."
Sumiflan 2:
>Have we found an exit yet?
Secunde:> There's a large mix of positive feedback.
>Good morning, everyone! How did you all sleep?
>Do any of them seem to have picked names for themselves yet.
Dai-chan Prime:> You stop the shot.
>Keep the pellet in this cycle.
>"You know.... back in the day, i was a pretty shy and secluded fairy, i wasn't able to talk with others most of the time, except with Letty-sama or Cirno-chan, i couldn't join other fairies in their games, or talk to the villagers and the youkai, i thought i would never fit in anywhere, then after that Red Mist Incident, it all changed when i tried to face Miss Reimu and Miss Marisa, i actually lasted quite a bit more than the others, and afterwards everyone was talking to me, i, the shy and insecure fairy, that didn't look like the others and had a very different power, then it went going, i met new friends like Wriggle, Rumia, Mystia and Lily, i started doing better at Miss Keine's school, then i met the mansion people, and then got to know Miss Reimu and Miss Marisa better, i met Onee-chan and the growth power awakening happened, all of that happened so quick...."
>Smile.
>"...and here i am, i have a family to take care of, friends, a job, a family that takes care and worries about me in the form of Onee-chan Sanae and you too, and i have started helping many people with their troubles, i discovered an entire new field of magical study and am constantly studying it, and now it seems i will be able to be a junior shrine maiden and help even more people."
>Stop the pellet and dissipate it.
>"All of that, even with my mistakes, makes me so glad to think about, i think i have found my mission in life: to help others in any way possible, during my whole life, especially if they have the same issue i had."
>Look at her and smile even more brightly.
>"Sorry i dumped all of this on you Kogasa-chan, but it just felt like i was supposed to, anyways, i hope that i can honor this mission in life of mine, and this outfit, for the future that is to come."
2:> You sit back down in the bathtub.
> Sit back down and wait for Hamiya to finish.
MikoBug:> The three nod in agreement.
> "...Hopefully no one was frightened..."
SumiDai:> "Ah! Right! We didn't do what we planned to do last time." Maribel says. I forgot what it was...
> "I'm not sure. I've been doing a lot of stuff I wanna do with other people lately. I think we should do what someone else wants to do this time!"
Medibug:> "You know, I never asked you to endanger it either." Medicine frowns. She started this whole thing.
>Why don't you want to open up to me, Miss Medicine? I mean, I can understand if it's because of the whole "lost your powers" thing, but I already told you ways to get it back... But if it isn't then... why? It's not like I'm going to judge anything you say. I'm not that kind of person. Besides, being judgemental is a Yama's job...
>You know, you never thanked me for saving your life either...
Probe:> You open the door.
>"Thank you!"
>Try to open the door now.
Sumiflan 2:> You peek out.
>Peek out of the exit.
Secunde:> "Names like what?" One of the fairies ask.
>I have good news, the rain stopped, and Onee-chan Sanae wants to help us find a place to build our village!
>Also, have any of you picked out names for yourselves yet? I mean, it would be easier to call for each other by name instead of saying "HEY! YOU!" or "YOU ON THE LEFT!" all then time, you know?
>Before we were named, did we forget more stuff when we died then after we got our name? Have we ever forgot our name upon dying?
Dai-chan Prime:> They said it's fine." Sanae says.
>"Don`t worry, you already did Kogasa-chan."
>Turn back to Onee-chan.
>"So Onee-chan ? How did it go ?"
SumiDai:> "I don't know..." Maribel says. I forgot.
> "What was it?"
MikoBug:> "Hm? For what?"
> Look to Miko.
> "Okay, Miss Miko, are you ready?"
Probe:> One of men stands up.
>turn around and address the room people.
>"Oh, pardon me, but is there a faster way back to the room? It would be kinda roundabout to just go back through the vents again..."
>If we don't get an answer or they say no, try to make our way back to the first room, shrinking and going back through the vents we came from if we need to.
>Otherwise follow any directions/allow ourselves to be escorted.
Sumiflan 2:
>Continue on.
Secunde:> "I wanna be named Emily." A few fairies say.
>Well you know, my name is Daiyousei, the spring fairy is named Lily White... And you all know Cirno, the ice fairy of the lake, right? And then there's Sunny, Luna, and Star. Maybe some of you have heard of them. And the one of you that didn't spend the night in this imagined village took the name Flora. And I helped a couple of the fairy maids in the mansion find names, they took the names of Dahlia and Carnation. So I think all of you should have names too. I mean, sure, it might seem like names are hard to remember sometimes... But believe me, once you learn to identify yourself with a name. You almost never forget it, even if you die. And in case you do. If other good fairies know your name, they can easily help you remember it! Plus it helps other people see us as more than just nameless fairies, but as individuals.
>So, give it a try, try to think of a name for yourselves. Something you want to be called for the rest of your life. Ask your fellow fairies if they like it, or ask the other me inside all of you for pointers if you're having a hard time. And try to make it unique. And if two or more of us do end up having the same name, try to make them slightly different. Like tack on a second name to the end. So say um... for example...
>Point to two random fairies in the front in thoughtscape.
>Let's just say, this fairy wanted her name to be Emily. And this other fairy wanted to be named Emily too. So instead of fighting over who gets the name, let's say this fairy decides to be called Emily Clover And this one is just plain Emily. Or, this once could be Emily, and the other could change the name slightly and be "Millie". Again, you can also always ask the me inside all of you if a name is already taken, and I could help you come up with a better name or help you make yours more unique.
>Of course, you also don't have to pick out a name right now either. You could get a name at any time. I'm just saying it might be a good idea in the future.
Army Dais:
>Prepare to autonomously dispense naming advice for any fairies that ask.
Medibug:> "Could you leave my body already? You don't need to be in me for what we're doing." Medicine stops in place.
>And I told you I didn't know that would happen! You can't blame me for something I have no knowledge of... You know, I could've just has easily done nothing and left you there, too... But I didn't because I'm not that kind of person. I'd rather help people than hurt them. And I'd rather try to resolve things peacefully first than resort to violence... Besides... I didn't want you to die... I truly want to be your friend, Miss Medicine, and I'm sure Belgrade does too...
//What did you have Onee-chan ask them again ?> "Which one? The other lake mansion, Heaven, or across the lake?" Sanae asks.
Dai-chan Prime:
>Nod.
>"Nice ! Now should we go to these new places you talked about ?"
MikoBug:> "Oh, right. I'm ready." Miko says.
> "To go back to normal size. Unless you wanna stay this big? I wouldn't have a problem with that."
SumiDai:> "It's alright." Maribel says. I should've done whatever it was earlier.
> "Oh. Sorry..."
Secunde:> The fairies stop fighting, and begin asking you for advice.
>Smile and shake our head in thoughtscape.
>No, no. You completely misunderstood... You can't all be Emily, Millie, and the Clover versions, then it would just defeat the purpose of getting all of you unique names. You know there are many other names out there, like Sakura, Lucy, Emma, Linda, Gertrude, Charlotte, and I'm sure all of you could think of plenty more. I mean they could even be pulled from things from nature, like I don't know, Moon Flower or Lichen. And Sometimes you can get a name just from what people usually call you. I mean, I used to be nameless like all of you until people started calling me "Big Fairy" and I eventually just adopted Daiyousei as my name. Of course, if you name yourself after what others call you, you shouldn't name yourself something bad or mean... Again, you could just consult the me in all of you for advice.
Army
>Prepare to dispense advice and naming assistance autonomously when asked by our hosts.
Medibug:> "We're not at the liberation part yet." Medicine says. "And sorry." Right. Belgrade is still a doll...
>Continue to listen to her thoughts
>I feel like I could be of much more help in here than out there... Especially when we start talking to people to liberate their dolls... And you're making Belgrade upset...
Probe:> "I just watch the screes for anything." The man says.
>Keep following
>"So... What's your job like, if you don't mind me asking?"
Prime:> "Alright." Sanae nods. "And uh, is something wrong with you Kogasa?"
>"Well, actually. Another me is currently helping the fairies get names. And you said it's okay to build our village across the lake here, right? I think we should stay here for now, or maybe scout out the area, until she's done. Then I warp everyone over here and let you guys meet everyone."
4:
>Are we awake yet?
Sendai:> "G-Good morning. Um, Daiyousei." Koa looks to 4, then back at you. "A-Are you... um..." She briefly glances at Lucien.
>Put an arm around Koa as she wakes up.
>"Good morning, beautiful..."
Army:> You start naming the fairies, making sure not to duplicates.
>Provide naming advice until all fairies have chosen a unique name that they are satisfied with.
Probe:> "Floaty fan thing? Oh. Those are remote controlled drones." The man says.
>"Does it get boring looking at the screens all day like that? Oh, and what is that floaty thingy that makes a fan sound that I saw when I was in the air vents? And what's that cord thingy it shoots out?"
Sumiflan 2:
>Stand and wait for the floaty thing to come into view and be sure to stay away from the part that shoots the cord.
Medibug:> Belgrade's smiling a bit.
>Does Belgrade seem better?
>Well, I know, but I still think I'll be more useful in here regardless... Oh! Maybe you can ride inside me for a while if you really want me out of here! I know Belgrade probably wouldn't mind either... That would be a fun change of pace! But we'd have to switch back once we get to Miss Yuuka... Lest she gets the wrong idea...
Probe:> "It's a... non-lethal weapon." The man says. "Hey. What are you anyways, er, Daiyousei? You're acting a lot like a human girl, what with preferring to be decent and other things. You also showed signs of being a cat too though, but that sorta contradicts itself, since animals don't act like this."
>"Drone huh... That's a fun word to say... Drone... So what's the little cord thingy they shoot out?"
Sumiflan 2:> You continue.
>Cautiously continue onward. Stop once we see the drone or anything potentially dangerous.
Army:> Only a few are named uniquely.
>How many fairies out of 180 are named?
>Remember to tack on words or slightly vary names already taken.
Sendai:
>"Oh, no I'm not... Don't worry."
>Giggle a bit
>"I met a bunch of fairies last night, and I'm having one of them sleep in that me's stomach because we were curious to see if we could pull it off... Yeah, it's really weird I know. But I'm probably not going to do that kind of thing again..."
>"Anyway, speaking of those fairies, I think they see me as their leader or something now... But we were all talking together, and we decided we're going to build a fairy village! How does that sound, Koa?"
Prime:
>"Actually, I think I'll go ahead and warp the other me here, but I won't let the fairies out yet until I'm done trying to help name them all..."
Secunde:
>Warp to a clear spot near Prime's group using Prime's POV
Probe:> "Big fairy? What are you talking about?"
>"Oh, you just caught me at a bad time. The cat traits were temporary... I saved a kitten last night, and I temporarily fused its life force with me so it had a place to sleep. And the cat traits came from that fusion. Don't worry though, fusion is perfectly harmless and reversible... Anyway, after I woke up in this place, the main me found a safe place to put the cat so I don't have the cat traits anymore... Sorry if it confused you. Ehehe... And well, if you wanna know what I really am, well, my name is kinda a giveaway... Daiyousei literally means 'Big Fairy.' "
Sumiflan 2:> At this size, it could and probably would.
>Oh, that's nice.
>Does it seem safe to continue, as in, does it feel like the fan will push us away or suck us in if we got closer?
Unnamed Clone:
>Has the kitten awoken?
Sendai:> "Okay then." Koa says.
>"Well, yeah, I imagined a village for them when they were unemployed and stuff, but this village won't be imaginary. We're actually gonna build it! And Onee-chan Sanae found a potential spot to build it too. We just need to scout it out."
Prime:
>"Should we scout out the area across the lake for a suitable location, then? Also it might be a while before I let the fairies out. Trying to help 180 fairies get names is harder than I thought."
Probe:> "Er...well, we're here." The man says, taking you back to that sleepy hallway. It's not making you sleepy this time.
>"Well, if I was a bit more decent, then I'd show you. But I'm not a catgirl. I'm actually a fairy. A greater fairy, to be exact... Of course, I was just going to hide my wings so I looked like a human girl during my short stay in this world, but then you guys saw the whole cat trait thing so I don't think there's any real point in trying to hide that I'm not human anymore... Of course, even though I'm not human, us fairies actually are more human-like than you think. Though, that being said, most of my kind is reckless and childish... We don't exactly have a good reputation for intelligence either..."
>Might as well unhide our wings now. Even if he won't see it right away because we're cloaked...
Sumiflan 2:
>Unhide our wings as well.
Unnamed clone:> You let the cat get into a more comfortable position.
>Let the cat get comfy
>"Hey there little one, did you sleep well?"
Prime:> You start to fly to the other side of the lake. Sanae and Kogasa accompany you.
>Start flying towards the other side of the lake.
Secunde:
>Follow our group.
Army:
>What percentage of the fairies are named?
Probe:> You did.
>We unhid our wings, right?
>Walk into the room.
>"Alright, I'm in. Thank you Mr... um, I didn't catch your name..."
Prime:> "Sure. You just need to make sure it's clean and fed and happy, and everyone else should be happy with it." Sanae says.
>"Oh, Onee-chan, do you think my family will like cats. I found a lost kitten last night and I want to find her a home. It might be with me if my family likes her enough."
>can we see Cirno-chan in our thoughtscape?
Sendai:
>"Hey, Koa? What's your opinion on cats?"
Probe:> You wait...
>Wait warmly.
Prime (thought):
>approach Cirno.
>"Hey, Cirno-chan. Mind if I ask you something? What is your opinion on cats?"
Dai-chan 2:> "Oh, you're back." Hamiya looks a bit surprised as you grab the towel and begin to dry off. "I was okay with waiting for you to finish."
>"Thanks Hamiya !"
>Pick up the towel and dry up.
Sendai-chan:> You give Koa a kiss.
>"Did you sleep well dear ? We have a big day ahead."
>Smile and kiss her.
//Happy birthday, parser!//Thanks~
MikoBug:
> "All right. I think the best way to do this is to just remove all the growth magic from you at once. I've never done this before with someone of this size, though, so I have no idea how it'll feel."
SumiDai:> "Well, since you asked... a bit bigger would be nice." Sumireko says. "I mean, it's just us four in here that'll know." It'll be fine.
> Look to Sumireko.
> "Hmm? Um, it should last as long as the original me is alive, I think. Do you want to go bigger or something?"
MikoBug:> Miko nods, closing her eyes.
> "All right. You might want to close your eyes, though, just in case. It might be a huge shift in vision for you."
> Concentrate on finding all of the growth magic inside Miko, separating the magic that's focused on her chest (and focused on the chest-portion of her top) from the magic that's just generally inside her (and generally in her clothes).
SumiDai:> You grow Sumireko's chest a bit more.
> Give Sumireko a salute.
> "You got it, boss!"
SumiBug:
> Grow out our host's chest until it's bigger than Meiling's.
// :toot: Happy Birthday ! :toot:> "I can't really go out for clothes without anything to wear..." Sumireko says. But that is a good idea.
Sumidai-chan:
>"Oh, you should also get some new clothes to fit with your new size just to be safe too, even if the magic might wear off with time."
SumiDai:> "Experiment? Like how?" Sumireko asks. Does she mean like feel how my breasts feel, or try to go to new sizes?
> "Yeah, if you ever wanted to experimentate, now would be the time, I guess."
Dai-chan 2:> Hamiya smiles back, blushing.
>"Nhehehe !"
>Smile.
Sendai-chan:> "Oh. Alright." Koa nods. "How have you and Hamiya been, if you don't mind me asking?"
>"Not really, just that today we can do a lot of stuff."
Dai-chan Probe:> You pick up the clothes and examine them.
>"Thank you Mister."
>Pick up the clothes and examine them.
>Then try wearing them.
MikoBug:> You take back in your growth magic and warp the rest of the growth magic, aside from the chest related ones, out into the air.
> "Okay, everyone. Here we go!"
> Warp as much of the growth magic that is generally inside Miko and her clothes as we originally had back inside of us for storage so our reserves are back to normal, and then warp the rest of it out into the air of Senkai to just dissipate. (Make sure to leave all the growth magic that is focused in her chest and the chest portion of her top where it is.)
Sendai-chan:
>"It's great ! It's as nice as being with you or Cirno-chan, each of you have your own little uniqueness that i love."
Sumidai-chan:
>"Well, as long as you are happy, i am fine the way i am, Letty-sama thinks the same too."
> Slight reword plus extra stuff:
> "From what I can tell from Dai 2, it's great! It seems like it's as nice for her as me being with you or Cirno-chan is, each of you have your own little uniqueness that I love. I leave her to her own devices now because I only want to spent my time with you and Cirno-chan, but I can still tell stuff about her, of course."
//Happy Birthday Miniking!
Probe:
>"Um, I still didn't catch your name, Mister."
>He is already gone, plus he said to just call him Mr. Police Man.//That was a different man
//Is there a Dai available for me to borrow temporarily to get the Taoists back to their house via warping?> They do.
MikoBug:
> Does everyone appear to be okay?
> "Okay, it's done. Have a look around!"
SumiDai:
> "With size and stuff. For any of you that want to, I mean. Or, uh, if you wanted more than just two? It doesn't seem like any of you do, though."
Sumidai-chan:
>"Well, as long as you are happy with how they are, i am fine the way i am regarding my size, and Letty-sama thinks the same too."
//Hrm...> "Wait. So I can do this anytime I want?" Sumireko asks. I wonder how Mokou would react to me being larger.
SumiDai:
> Look thoughtful for a moment.
> "Though I guess 'the way I am' lets me do whatever I want whenever I want with how large or small I am, so maybe that's a little unfair for me to say. But that's why I gave my power to all of you too, so you can do the same!"
Sendai-chan:
>Are the others awake too.
>"Hey um.... did you also want to.... ehm... feel them ?"
>Slight rereword.> They are.
> "From what I can tell from Dai 2, it's great! It seems like it's as nice for her as me being with you or Cirno-chan is, each of you have your own little uniqueness that I love. I leave her to her own devices now because i want her to spend time with Hamiya peacefully while i spend time with you two, this way no one has problems."
Dai-chan Probe:
>"Umm, it's kinda tight.... but i guess it works."
>Uncloak ourselves.
Dai-chan Prime:
>Report ?
//Happy Birthday Miniking!> You, Sanae, and Kogasa are reaching the other side of the lake.
Probe:
>"Um, I still didn't catch your name, Mister."
Army:
>Progress report
> Are any Dais presently fully-clothed, not waiting on anyone, and not doing anything?> None, aside from Dai 4 or SenDai.
MikoBug:
> "Lemme see if I can get another me to warp us back near your home."
SumiDai:
> "Yep! All of you can."
Sumidai-chan:> "We will if we use it." Maribel says. And we might.
>...well sorta, not nearly as much as the original me but yea, however be careful when using it of course, don`t want my friends getting injured somehow because of me..."
Sendai-chan:> "Sure." Koakuma gets out of bed, then heads over to the chests. "So what are we doing today exactly?"
>"O-Oh... right, so shall we get up then ?"
>Lazily get outta bed.
Dai-chan Prime:> "I hope everything goes well then." Sanae says.
>"What we are planning to do reminds me of when i was working to build my own home."
> Dai 4 is still asleep, yes?> Koa had awoken you a bit ago.
SumiDai:
> "But yeah, feel free to try whatever you want, as long as we're here and no one will see us. Or if you're not sure about something, you can ask me and I can help you out."
4:> She is.
> Is Flora still asleep?
SumiDai:
> Look a bit worried.
> "Um...actually, I don't know...maybe we should let Miss Renko go at her own pace."
Sumidai-chan:> "Oh. Right. Sorry." Maribel deflates a bit. Have we really been pressuring her?
>Relax a bit in the bath too.
Dai-chan Prime:> Your trio lands at the far side of the lake. There's a lot of free space here.
>"I hope so, they do have the right idea i think, so that is something."
Sendai-chan:> Lucien shrugs.
>"Like what dear ?"
>Head over to the chest to get some clothes too.
Probe:> "You're welcome." Micheal says. "You look lovely in it."
>"It's nice to meet you Mr. Michael! And thanks again for the clothes."
>Smile warmly.
>Examine Michael.
//Gonna drive for about an hour now. Will probably add more stuff, mostly involving prime, secunde, 4, Flora, and the army if this isn't parsed by the time I'm done.
4:> You're feeling more ready than earlier, at least.
> How are we feeling?
> Undo our necktie, grow our chest out, and head to Senkai.
SumiDai:> "I'm not upset. I'm fine." Maribel smiles. Mostly...
> "Well, you and Miss Sumireko can still try stuff if you want, Miss Merry. I didn't mean to upset you."
Dai-chan Probe:> "So, cooperation, right?" Micheal sits down against a wall. "How did you save that kitten?"
>"O-Oh ! Thanks, i don't think i am much, i think onee-chan is far prettier than me."
>Smile.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Yea. That's a great idea." Sanae says.
>"Hey onee-chan, could we make their homes stacked on top of each other ? Like those in the outside world ?"
Sendai-chan:> "Oh." Koa heads to the dresser with you.
>"Oh right ! I put our clothes in the new dresser."
>Head there.
>"How about we take Lucien to the village ? There are other children there too, and we could also have him take classes at Miss Keine's school."
DPR:> "Huh? That'd be like making imaginary stuff real..." Sanae says. "...I'm not sure it's possible."
> "Oh, by the way, this is kind of weird, but...you know how I can just make stuff in my thoughtscape when I'm fusioned with people, right? Like, I can make food for people, but it doesn't fill them at all. Do you think it's possible to make it so the thoughtscape food fills people that eat it?"
4:> She did.
> Did Flora come with us?
> Is the Taoist home within view?
MikoBug:
> "Okay, I got another me into Senkai. Although, um...it's the me with Flora. I hope that doesn't bother anyone too much..."
SumiDai:> Maribel looks down. "Maybe we shouldn't have been doing this stuff then." We should've just gone to Gensokyo.
> Look concerned.
> "Well, still. I hope you don't feel bad because of what I said. Especially since it's been pretty much all my fault that Miss Renko keeps getting pressured into doing stuff."
Dai-chan Probe:> "Really? How?" Micheal asks.
>"Okay... when i saw the kitty there, i was really sad and wanted to give it another chance, so i made a sort of bubble around it, and believe it or not, i rewinded time back to when it was healthy, so it is like it never got hurt and died in the first place."
>Put on a worried face.
>"It is very limited though, and it is also really tiring."
Sendai-chan:> "So, the clothes are in here?" Koa opens one of the drawers.
>"I will talk about that to her soon, i bet Miss Keine will be pleased to meet them both."
Dai-chan Prime:> "Like a normal building, except you have to use sturdier things to hold it up right, and just build upwards."
>"So how are those tall buildings made in the first place Sanae-chan ?"
Dai-chan Probe:
>"Um... let me try to show you."
>Make a small bubble in front of us if we can.
//I was mostly only going to use 4 to bring Flora back to everybody else. I'm fine with a short detour to Senkai.> You stop time in a small bubble in front of you.
Probe:
>"With magic, of course!"
>How much do we know about the outside world, magic and youkai/fairy existence wise?
Dai-chan Prime:> "Steel, usually." Sanae says.
>"Like what ? Stone ? Iron ?"
Prime:
>"Oh, and all the fairies are named now, I'll let them out in a second so they can scout the area and so you two can meet Emily, Daisy, Millie, Emily Clover, Lilac, Lichen, Cassidy, Lucy, Gertrude, Sakura, Moon Flower, Rose, Bella, Summer, and the rest of them!"
Sendai-chan:> You get your clothes and Koa gets hers out from the dresser.
>"Uh huh."
>Look for our own clothes.
Medidai-chan:
>Wait until we land and approach Miss Yuuka.
MikoBug:> You warp the group within Miko over back to the home.
> "Okay, here we go!"
> Warp ourselves to the Taoist home, using 4's PoV.
Secunde:> The fairies collectively nod.
>Alright, now that all of you are named, you should all introduce yourselves to each other by your name, so you can get used to people calling you by it. And I also found a place where we could build the real village, so I'm gonna let all you out in a second. My Onee-chan Sanae and my friend Kogasa are there too, and they want to help us. Give them a friendly hello if you want. And I'd also like you guys to look around and tell me if you like the place.
SumiDai:> "Sure." Maribel says. "I guess..." This whole event is messed up now...
> Look concerned.
> "Um, well, I think it's fine if we enjoy ourselves as we want. Doing stuff to ourselves doesn't bother anyone else, after all!"
2:> You get out of the tub and get the dry towel.
> "Oh, whoops! Sorry!"
> Get out of the tub and go for a fresh towel.
MikoBug:> You wave to Miko, then hold a finger to your mouth.
> "Welcome home, everyone!"
4:
> Smile and wave to Miko, before making a shushing motion with a finger and our lips with one hand while pointing to our belly with the other.
SumiDai:> You aren't.
> Are we all small enough that we could swim around in the tub if we wanted to?
Probe:> "You can rewind time!?" Micheal looks surprised.
>"I can't really do much with this right now. I don't really have anything recently broken to rewind... And my magic reserves for this power are still very low from the last time I used it. I probably can't maintain it any longer than a couple of minutes until my energy for that power recharges... Which might take a day or two..."
Dai-chan Probe:> Micheal nods, and takes rummages until he can get a coin, and drops it into the bubble.
>"Uh.... try dropping a coin inside the bubble maybe ?"
Prime:> "We're ready." The fairies say.
>"Well, I'm going to let them out now, guys."
Secunde:
>Alright, I'm going to let you out now.
Army:
>Using both Prime and Secunde's POV, warp each of our hosts to a clear spot.
Dai-chan Prime:> "It's really sturdy. Oh! We can get the kappa to help build it. Or, at least provide materials, maybe." Sanae says.
>"Steel ?"
Sendai:
>Turn to Lucien
>"Belgrade is out helping another me and Miss Medicine today. If you really think going to the village and stuff without her will be unfair, we could wait for another day and figure out something else for us to do..."
Sendai-chan:> Lucien nods.
>Dress up.
Medibug:
>Resume listening to Medicine's thoughts at all times
Medidai-chan:> You have Medicine glance over to Belgrade.
>Stay quiet and have a glance at Belgrade, how is she doing ?
Medidai://Apologies for being slow in more ways than one recently :fail: These walls of text aren't very encouraging when some are for the same Dai.
>Wait. Since when was Barricade there? She was never instructed to come with us. Actually, I do believe she was sent to the outside world to take over Sumibug's duties as Sumibug.
>Huh? Where's Belgrade going?
Medidai-chan:> "I don't have time for that right now." Medicine says. She could do it with another one of herselves.
>"Hey, do you mind if i ask Yuuka something too ? I had asked her to teach me gardening before and she said she would think about it, so i want to know about it."
Probe:> You unmake the bubble and the coin falls.
>"Hang on, it'll be easier this way."
>Unmake the bubble and let the coin drop to the ground.
>"And yes, that's just one of the many things I can do. Though I can't do it for extended periods. The magic for it drains rather quickly. Even if I'm just stopping time... I mean, at a full charge, I could probably go back an hour or two at most before it completely drains and I need to wait for it to come back... Now, let's see if I have just enough to rewind this coin..."
>Make a new bubble around the coin and try to rewind with what little Sakuya Magic we have left.
Prime:> "Hello!" The army says collectively.
>Project our voice.
>"Hi everyone, I'm the original Daiyousei! And this is Onee-chan Sanae and Kogasa."
>Have our army Dais mentally repeat the message to any fairies that can't hear.
2:> You begin drying off.
> Start drying off.
MikoBug:> Miko nods.
> "Anyway, it looks like you're all set now."
SumiDai:> "Oh yea." Maribel lightens up a bit. "Since we're already like this, we can actually try it." It wasn't private enough to swim nude in Gensokyo.
> Adopt a look of realization.
> "Oh, wait, I think I just remembered! The mermaid tails!"
//Apologies for being slow in more ways than one recently :fail: These walls of text aren't very encouraging when some are for the same Dai.
Medidai:> She is.
>Belgrade IS with us, correct?
Medidai-chan:> You create another Koa clone and have her warp to Medicine's group.
>"Right, just hold on a second."
Dai-chan Prime:
>Make a Koa Clone and name her Dai-chan Yuuka.
Dai-chan Yuuka:
>Return Koa Magic to Prime and warp to Medidai-chan`s group.
>"Hello Miss Yuuka, oh ! And this little cute doll here is my daughter Belgrade, Belgrade, this is Miss Yuuka, a sunflower youkai and great gardener."
>Put on a eager look.
>"By the way, um.... have you decided if you will teach me gardening yet ? I am really eager to learn how to take care of plants too...."
Dai-chan Probe:
>Smile.
>"It`s amazing right ? Although really tiring."
>Rest a bit.
Probe:> You sit down and rest a bit. The ground is cold against your butt.
>"I think I just ran out of that magic for now... It'll need at least a day or more to recharge. But at least I got to show it to you!"
>Smile.
>"I can do other things too. Is there anything else you'd like to see, Mr. Micheal?"
4:> Miko's chest is still large, while she is indifferent otherwise.
> How does Miko look?
MikoBug:
> "Um...should the other me leave now? Or do you want to know anything about her, given you can see for yourself what we talked about earlier?"
SumiDai:> "I'm in." Maribel says. It'll be a bit tough to get the door if someone comes though.
> "Yep! It wouldn't really be taking a bath anymore, but if we all shrink down some, we could probably swim around just fine."
Prime (have army repeat for those that can't hear):> The fairies give a collection of accepting responses.
>"So what do you guys think of this place? There's plenty of room... And it's on the mountain, so if we get lost we can easily find our way back..."
MikoBug:> You wave to Miko before leaving, and she waves back.
> "Okay then. In that case, I'm going to send her back home."
4:
> Wave to Miko again, then use our enhanced chest to return to Gensokyo.
SumiDai:> You shrink the three down until the bathtub resembles a large pool.
> "Okay, here we go!"
> Shrink ourselves down small enough that the tub more or less becomes a large pool from our perspective.
HifuuBugs:
> Shrink our hosts and ourselves until they are the same relative size to SumiDai.
> Apply the appropriate magics to give our hosts mermaid tails.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Yes." Sanae says. "They'll have a village done quickly. "
>"So we could ask that Nitori Lady ? She is a kappa too."
Prime:> "Fairy Village! Because it's gonna be like the Human Village, but for Fairies!"
>Have army repeat if necessary.
>"So it's settled then. Oh! And I almost forgot. What are we going to call our village? I'm open to anything, so just shout out some suggestions, and we could take a vote on which one is the best."
Medidai:> Medicine is still flying away.
>Is Medicine still near the group, or is she still flying away.
>If the latter:
>Wait, Miss Medicine! We should wait for Belgrade.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> Belgrade nods with a smile.
>"It's just that Wriggle talked about how great you are as a gardener, and i wish to become better friends with you too, i promise i will cause no trouble, i don't want the flowers to be harmed either."
>Gently pet Belgrade.
>"Belgrade dear, would you like to take classes at Miss Keine's school with Lucien ? It would be a nice experience for you two."
Probe:> You float up, then warp to the other side of the room.
>"Alright, so how about this?"
>Fly up a little bit, then warp to the other side of the room, making sure not to clip anything. Turn around and face Micheal
>"What did you think of that? I had this power to warp before all my others. It's the one I was born with."
Dai-chan Probe:> "The stories about them mostly." Micheal says. "Didn't think I'd ever see something like this though. Aliens were higher up on the list than fairies, heh."
>"So what made you join the police Mister Micheal ?"
//Isn't that like.... toooooo much info ? Maybe cut that off ?//It's not like I'm saying "We're from gensokyo and this is how you get to it and Merry and Renko have magic too and sumireko is from the past and <literally insert all details from this quest here>"
//Just maybe refrain from talking about fusion ? Remember what Miss Reimu said.//It's not like these outsiders can even figure out how to do it... A natural Human-Human fusion has not been successfully witnessed. Of all the people who know how to do it. The only ones that involved humans were us and a human or two, Sanae and Kogasa (Human + Youkai), and Marisa and Mima (Human + Ghost). And since there is a lack of youkai to fuse with out here. It shouldn't really be a problem. Plus, I'm never telling them exactly HOW to do it anyway. But I'll delete that part if it makes you happy.
4:> You are.
> Where are we now? Back home?
> Is Flora still asleep?
MikoBug:> "Shouldn't we be unfused?" Miko asks.
> "Okay, Miss Miko, is there anything else you wanted of me? If not, you can go about your day like normal, and just call on me when you need me."
SumiBug:> You combine the magic as MerryBug and RenBug have done, then change Sumireko's legs into a mermaid tail.
> Give Sumireko a mermaid tail as well.
//Isn't that like.... toooooo much info ? Maybe cut that off ?> "We'll take care of it." Sanae says. "I'm sure Mom and."
Dai-chan Prime:
>"But.... i don't have the money for that... i don't even have the money to get that Mask of Hope back."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "I'm doing good. It's great here, but I still kinda want to actually be here. You know." WrigDai says.
>"Huh ? Oh hey Wriggle ! How are you doing ?"
>Wave and approach, but don't enter the house.
>"Oh, you can go back to staying with Medicine Belgrade, if you want i mean."
Sendai-chan:> "Yeah!" Lucien nods.
>"How about we try and find out your ability Lucien ?"
Probe:
>"Well, I wasn't able to do it either until recently. The real credit should actually go to a human from my world that I respect greatly. The ability was originally hers, but I was able to acquire a weaker version of it by experimenting with fusion. Her version is much stronger, believe me. And it's probably very helpful for her too, since she's a maid and all."
>"And I wasn't lying when I said most of my kind wasn't really smart... Almost all of us are about as smart as human kids, and most don't tend to learn from their mistakes either. You see, us fairies are practically immortal. If we die, we come back to life near the spot where we were born. Unfortunately, dying also makes us forget a lot of things. I think part of the reason I'm smarter is because I don't die as often... But I do forget somethings from time to time when it does..."
>Smile.
>"But not all hope is lost on us. If I could become smarter, others of my kind could do it too. In fact, one of my many clones is back home, teaching a group of 181 other fairies stuff I know. Well, except everything related to fusion of course. If any of them learned that, it would be absolute chaos... And they seem to be making good progress. In fact, all of them have names now. Most of my kind is nameless, believe it or not."
Dai-chan Probe:> "Huh..." Micheal stares at you.
>"Well, i am still a girl even if i am a fairy, and what are aliens ?"
Probe:> You don't know what a lunarians is.
>Do we know of the lunarians?
>"Huh... Interesting... Do you think Aliens have magic too? Or are they like the humans of this world..."
Unnamed Clone:> The cat is in your hands, and has been since it was given to you.
>Did the cat just...
>Is it on the floor?
Prime:> "Yea, It's not the first time I've done that, hehe." Sanae smiles.
>Look mildly concerned
>"Onee-chan? Are you alright?"
Secunde:> "See?"
>Have army repeat to fairies that can't hear.
>"Girls, Girls... I'm very honored and flattered that you'd consider naming a village after me, but I don't really think it should be my name... It's not just my village. It's ours! A good place for good fairies. Besides, if my name was the same as a village, people might confuse the two. Ehehe..."
Probe:> The magic you have absorbed includes... Cirno magic, Koakuma magic, Lily magic, Sanae magic, Aya magic, Sunny Magic, Rumia magic, Orange magic, Meiling magic, Sakuya magic, Remilia magic, Flandre magic, Patchouli Magic, Alice magic, Marisa magic, Suika magic, Wakasagihime magic, Kagerou magic, Seija magic, Suika-Sakuya magic,
>"So is there any more of my abilities that you want to see, Mr. Micheal?"
>What is our magics again?
Prime:> "That's why I said I could get Kanako and Suwako to help." Sanae says.
>"Hmm... We need to find some building materials now... We can't build anything if we don't have the stuffs and thingies to build with, you know."
Unnamed Clone:> The kitten seemingly ducks after you bop it.
>Frown.
>Give the kitten a light bop on the head. Not enough to hurt. And wag our finger.
>"Bad kitty! You shouldn't pee on someone. Nor should you pee in someone's house. It's rude and impolite!"
Sumidai:
>"Um... Miss Maribel... I think the cat just peed... Most of it got on the other me... But some got on the floor. I-I'll clean it up! So don't worry!"
Probe:> "Well uh, if you weren't flying..." Micheal scratches his head.
>"U-Um... How different is it to wear boy's underwear than girls...? And uh... why are you asking about underwear all of a sudden... I-I'm n-not showing anything a-am I!?!"
>Try to pull our skirt down to cover up more. If that doesn't work obscure any exposed places with Rumia darkness.
Sumidai:> "Well yea. but it is kinda quiet..." Maribel says. Compared to however many things Daiyousei's focusing on.
>"I don't know... That me was kinda idling because I was distracted by lots of other things. Having so many clones at once makes it difficult to stay focused on everything at once... But surely the cat would've mewed or it would've pawed at me to get my attention, wouldn't it?"
//There's no way we're flying that high...> "Your skirt's not that long and- look, I'm sorry. I should've just been looking away." Micheal says.
Probe:
>"B-But I'm literally a foot off the ground! H-How could you even see that!?!"
>Blush a bit in embarrassment.
Probe:> "Again, sorry."
>"I-It's fine... I forgive you..."
Medidai:
>What's going on?
//Can we just let Wriggle do what she wants ?> Sanae nods a bit.
Dai-chan Prime:
>"You shouldn't worry about that onee-chan, you told me about how Miss Suwako is sorta your mother, so i understand."
>Smile.
>"Sisters should take care of and understand each other after all !"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "I said maybe another time." Yuuka says.
>"Um... i'll see for it later but sure, i was asking Miss Yuuka about the gardening thing, but she just doesn't seem to say yes or no, i don't think she likes me...."
Dai-chan Probe:> Your chest is tight, but it doesn't show cleavage.
>"No... it's alright, not like it could be avoided seems."
>How is our chest then ? Is it showing anything like cleavage ?
2:> You are.
> Are we finished drying ourselves?
4:
> Look around our home. Is there anything that needs doing?
MikoBug:
> "Do you want to be?"
DPT:> You didn't.
> Did we ever make a Dai clone for Cirno?
> "What're you thinking, Cirno-chan?"
//Probably gonna auto-pilot 2's day, parser, unless you wanted us to take direct control?//Direct control is always preferred unless it's something like before of course. It's not a necessity though...
2:
> "Oh, sorry! Yeah, I am."
> Head back into the bedroom and get dressed.
4:> You think you could stack them near the dresser.
> Is there somewhere convenient to stack them so they're more out of the way?
MikoBug:
> Nod.
> "You got it, Miss Miko!"
FutoBug, TojiBug:
> Warp our hosts' life energies back out of Miko (bringing ourselves along with them).
SumiDai:> "Yea." Sumireko says. "Can we breathe underwater too?" That'd be interesting.
> "Looks like the tails work great!"
//Got it! Just lemme know what I can do to help lessen the workload.
DPT:
> Can we still feel Rumia inside us?
> "Oh. Oh! That's right! I'm so sorry, Cirno-chan! I didn't make clones for you or Lily yet. Hold on, lemme do that right now."
> Make a Cirno-clone and a Lily-clone, following the normal clone-making process (including returning the Koa magic to Prime).
Dai-chan Prime:> You can.
>Nod too, then frown a bit and put a long face.
>"Oh..."
4:> You start to stack the chests near the dresser, and Koa helps out.
> Try stacking the chests near the dresser, then.
MikoBug:> "Not at the moment. Thank you." Miko says.
> "There you go, Miss Miko. Is there anything else you need of me?"
SumiDai:> Sumireko nods. Here goes nothing...
> "I'm not sure. I guess you could try it?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "I didn't want to be bothered then." Yuuka says.
>"Then why did you hurt me before ? I had just asked you a simple question, so i was scared when you did that...."
>Wait, we are wearing the same shrine maiden outfit as Prime right ?
Medidai:> Medicine and Belgrade are nearing where Marisa and Alice's houses are.
>Report
Dai-chan Probe:> "Home?" Micheal asks.
>"My kind is back at home, we are born from nature and tend to live there."
Sendai-chan:> Lucien gives you a questioning face.
>"Okay ! Now, are you ready Lucien ?"
>Sit down at the table.
Probe:> "How did you get here? Warping?" Micheal asks.
>"Yeah, home. It's a place you can't get to... But almost all of us live there. We don't really exist in this world anymore. I don't really know why... But there might be a chance that some of us exist out here, but it's probably very very small. I think I might be the first fairy to see this world in a long time..."
Medibug:
>beat
DPT:> "Okay." Both Cirno's say.
> "There you go, Cirno-chan! That other you is also you, so you can do you things with that you out there, while you do you things in here at the same time."
MikoBug:> Miko nods.
> "All right! I'll leave you alone and pay attention to other stuff now, then, so you can go ahead and do Taoist things. Poke me if you or your friends need anything, okay?"
SumiDai:> Sumireko starts to choke a bit, then resurfaces.
> Beat.
DPT:
> "The same is true for you, Lily."
Dai-chan Prime:> "Thank you." Lily says.
>"Oh... don`t worry, it`s nothing you should worry about."
>Try to give them a reassuring nod.
MikoBug:> Though Tojiko and Futo's aren't... Neither of them seem bothered by it. Miko thinks.
> Listen in on Miko's thoughts.
SumiDai:> "Yea." Sumireko wipes her face. Wasn't really pleasant though.
> Look worried.
> "Are you okay??"
> What are Renko and Merry up to?
//I'm going to not mention Maribel's involvement if I can.
Probe:
>Nod.
>"Yup. I wasn't sure it was gong to work either. And I'm glad I didn't clip anything. Warping blindly is kinda dangerous... I've accidentally killed myself several times that way before I started mastering it..."
Dai-chan Probe:> "How is death?" Micheal asks. "What's it like being dead? Um, please excuse me for these questions too. I'm just really curious. This isn't something you get to learn about everyday."
>"Since this is the place Onee-chan came from i wanted to look around."
Unnamed Clone:> The cat is still ducking.
>Check on cat.
Medibug:> Titania opens the door to them, and Medicine's face lights up and her tiny doll flies ahead a bit.
>beat
//I'm going to disappear for a bit. I have a class followed by an hour of driving followed by a 4 hour and 45 minute shift at work. I'll try to check in when I can, but just to let you know there will be long periods of absence for me until late tonight.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Aren't you going to answer your friend?" Yuuka asks.
>"Because of what happened to Wriggle right ? I know... i wish you had just told me back then...."
>Sad face.
Sendai-chan:> "...Yea." Sumireko answers. What's she trying to do?
>"So close your eyes and focus on yourself, try to feel the energy that composes you, can you feel something you don`t really know what it is, but feels familiar ?"
//I think you responded to Raf's SenDai command as if he submitted it for SumiDai. :V Sorry!
//Yup. e.e//Completely didn't notice. They're spelt really closely :/
//I think you responded to Raf's SenDai command as if he submitted it for SumiDai. :V Sorry!> Both of you have finished dressing.
2:
> How're we doing?
DPT:
> "But that's why Wriggle and Mystia are distracted sometimes, Cirno-chan. They're focusing on their other selves. Like how Mystia's other self will run her food stand."
//Yup. e.e> "I can stay with you guys and still earn money this way." Mystia says.
Dai-chan Prime:
>"Um.... i.... i am just worried about the future...."
>"Hang on Wriggle."
>Warp Wriggle`s Life Energy besides Dai-chan Yuuka.
Dai-chan Yuuka:
>"Oh right !"
>Gesture to Wriggle.
>"Here she is !"
MikoBug:> You flop onto your bed.
> Flop back onto our bed if it's still there.
> Continue listening to Miko's thoughts.
FutoBug, TojiBug:
> Listen to our hosts' thoughts as well.
SumiDai:> "Hey Sumireko. Do you want to race?" Maribel asks. Maybe she'll be ready.
> Beat.
Sendai-chan:> Lucien does so.
>"So close your eyes and focus on yourself, try to feel the energy that composes you, can you feel something you don`t really know what it is, but feels familiar ?"
Medidai-chan:> "How's Alice doing?" Medicine asks. Is she here?
>"Oh ! Titania ! It`s been a while since i saw her, good to see she is fine."
//posting briefly before my shift starts.> "Oh." Micheal frowns a bit. "That's still really interesting though. Would you go back home if you died here?"
Probe:
>"Well, for us fairies, it's like we feel pain from whatever kills us, and then everything goes black. Then we wake up instantly near the spot where we were born. Though some fairies can reappear near where they died."
>"And also when we die, our corpses vanish or disintegrate, leaving no trace behind other than any objects we were carrying."
>"I'm pretty sure death is different for humans and youkai though. I think they go to an afterlife or something..."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You carefully examine a flower. It smells nice and looks beautiful.
>"Um... so what it will be ? Either way is fine by me."
>Carefully go to the ground and CAREFULLY examine a flower.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Daiyousei..." Sanae puts a hand on your shoulder. "Don't you know what I am though? I'm a human goddess. I'm a god and a human, so I should be able to stay with you forever. And, I'm not too sure on this either, but as Gasanae, we're a youkai human god. So by extension, Kogasa's in for the long run too." Sanae puts a hand on your head and rubs your hair.
>"Yeah... it`s just... i am immortal right ? But Kogasa-chan and you aren`t Onee-chan, and i don`t want to see you die.... but i guess it is the cycle of life..."
>Look down and shed some tears.
Dai-chan Probe:> "Huh. You guys would have no worries then..."
>"I think so... but i think i could come back again."
Sendai-chan:> "...Kinda." Lucien replies.
>"Good, that is very likely your power, can you get a sense of it ? If it feels like something you have felt before in nature ?"
TaoBugs://This would seem like spam in any other forum game...
> Beat.
HifuuBugs:
> Beat.
//I'm helping!! :D
//I`m not.... ;-;> Sanae returns the hug.
Dai-chan Prime:
>"Onee-chan...."
>Shed some more tears and hug her.
>"Thank you onee-chan Sanae, i can`t think about what would i do if you were dead ! You`re just too much too me, same for Kogasa-chan..."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "I want to though." Wriggle says.
>Look back up.
>"Are you sure ? As i said, you don`t need to, but if you want then fine by me."
>Look to Miss Yuuka.
>"There is no problem right Yuuka-sama ?"
Sendai-chan:> Lucien nods, then pushes his hands forwards.
>"Try using it, try to channel it out in the air."
Dai-chan Probe:> "But, for one, you don't need to worry about leaving family behind. If we die, it's over. We'll never be able to interact with family or loved ones or anything."
>"That`s not true ! We still have to work hard, it`s not like dying is good remember ? Too much and we might even forget who we are."
TaoBugs:> "Daiyousei. Would you be alright with us asking Reimu about the moon thing?" Miko asks.
> Beat.
SumiDai:> You give yourself a mermaid tail.
> Turn the lower half of our body into a mermaid tail as well.
Dai-chan Probe://Almost mistook Prime for Probe and vice versa...
>"But then we will see our friends die while we barely even age, if age at all, i don`t want to see the people i love die while i live."
Dai-chan Prime:> You warp Wriggle back into Dai Prime.
>"Okay... we will go see Miss Nitori then ?"
>Store Wriggle on our chest once she is here.
Dai-chan Yuuka:
>"Right !"
>Warp Wriggle back inside Prime to refuse.
Sendai-chan:> Lucien smiles a bit.
>Put on a great smile.
>"Wow ! So you can use magic just like your mother Koa !"
>What could we see about the magic ? Color ? Attribute ? Any aspects ?
//on break.
Unnamed clone (we really need a name for her lol):
>Pet the cat.
>"I hope you've thought long and hard on what you've done... now come on, let's get ourselves and Miss Maribel's floor cleaned up..."
>is the floor hardwood, tatami, or carpet?
Sumidai:
>"Um, miss Maribel. Where's the cleaning stuffs and thingies?"
Dai-chan Probe:> "I meant that you could do that as well." Micheal says.
>"I don`t want to be a legend though.... all i want to do is help others."
Dai-chan Prime:> "So, you're leaving the fairies?" Kogasa asks.
>Nod.
>"I`ll follow your lead onee-chan."
Sendai-chan:> Koa closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. "Yea. It's great." She smiles. "I'll try to find out more later..."
>"Well Koa, what do you think ? If our son gained this kind of magic from you that means you probably have it too."
>Smile.
Catdai-chan:> You fuse with the kitten again.
>"Hey, don`t be scared, it`s okay, as long as you don`t do this again."
>Rub it`s head gently, then fuse with it again and store her in our chest.
>Read her thoughts.
MikoBug:> "All opposed?" Miko asks. Pretty sure everyone already agreed.
> Sit up.
> "Huh? Oh, sure!"
SumiDai:> "So I guess we're all just getting used to it, huh?" Maribel says. Whatever.
> Beat.
//Good god I had a long day...//But now you get to enjoy Daiyousei Quest. So take it easy~
Prime:
>"The other me will stay with them, plus I have a me fused with all of them so they can easily talk to me whenever something comes up."
Secunde:> They were next to Prime.
>Are the Cirno and Lily clones next to us?
Catdai:
>Gently pet the kitten and hug her in the thoughtscape. Show nothing but unconditional love.
>Hey... Don't be afraid, little one. That little bop wasn't meant to hurt you... I just wanted to teach you right from wrong because I care about you. And if I didn't care about you, I wouldn't have punished you...
TaoBugs:> Miko starts to head towards the building.
> Beat.
SumiDai:> "I thought you would've by now..." Maribel says. "You've had it before, right?" She must've.
> "Yeah, I haven't had much of a chance to get used to it myself, honestly."
> Name the Cirno and Lily clones we made CirDai and LilyDai.> You do so.
CirDai, LilyDai:
> Change our features so that our bodies match those of Cirno and Lily exactly, respectively.
> Head toward our respective homes to get changed into non-Daiyousei clothes.
TaoBugs:> As Miko enters the building you appear in the Hakurei Shrine, somehow.
> Beat.
SumiDai:> "Oh." Sumireko says. Phew...
> Shrug.
> "I'd never really had a reason to try them. And no, they're not permanent. Well, I guess they're permanent in that they won't go away naturally, but I can get rid of them whenever we want."
//Aw, but I was going to introduce Cirno and Lily to the good fairies...> The kitten still feels a bit afraid of you.
Catdai:
>Sorry if I ignored you... I'm actually in many places at once right now. And if too many things are going on I get distracted...
>Frown in thoughtscape
>I'm really trying my best to take care of you... But please, if that ever happens again, don't be afraid to mew or paw me for attention... Again, I'm sorry... Maybe I'm a horrible owner...
Probe:> "What's your reason for wanting to help others?"
>"Still though... I'd rather be just a helper than a legend..."
Secunde: (Have army repeat to those who can't hear if necessary)> "We've got all the rules already." The fairies nod.
>"Well, while they do negotiation things, we might as well familiarize ourselves with the place more."
>"And does anyone have any important questions about the village or our new way of life that we should talk about? This is a perfect time to do it since we're waiting and all..."
Catdai:> You hug the kitten more.
>Hug the cat some more.
>Please... Don't be scared of me... I love you like you were a member of my family... And I don't want family to be scared of me... Speaking of family, I'm going to take you to meet mine later today. I'm sure my kids would love you... And if almose everyone likes you... Then I'll personally adopt you, okay?
//Feel free to reword or add to the following, Kilga and Raf. I feel like something is missing... IDK why...
Probe:
>"I'm not really sure to be honest... It just feels nice to do so... And I don't like seeing people mad at each other, or hurt, or sad... I guess I kinda just do it..."
Probe:> "So you're your own army of clones?" Micheal asks.
>"Yup. Among other things... You already know I can cloak. And I can also clone myself too, and I can speak through all my clones. In fact, you're talking to one of my clones right now. The original me is back home."
Medidai:> Belgrade and Medicine are sitting down in Alice's house, along with Alice, Titania, Shanghai, and Hourai.
>What is going on?
Catdai:> You keep hugging the kitten.
>Continue to embrace the cat in thoughtscapeland and head to the bathroom.
>Once there look for cleaning supplies.
Medidai:> You don't know.
>What have we been talking about?
>if we really don't know, ask medicine to tell us what we missed and apologize for spacing out.
Probe:
>"Well yes and no... I mean I can control them and speak through them like I'm in many places at once. But they can also act on their own will if I wanted them to. And my clones don't automatically come back either. The original me has to remake them if they die, but dying still hurts for them. And if the original me dies, all but one of my clones will die too... "
Medidai:> Medicine sighs. Whatever.
>Oh, okay. And once again I'm very sorry for spacing out. Having so many clones at once is a bit distracting... I promise to be fully focused here from here on out.
>Automatically beat/update on events happening with medidai and her host every parsing from now on until explicitly told to stop beating. That means default to this if nobody does any medidai actions until told to stop.
Probe:> "It's a strategy board game." Micheal says.
>"What's a chess?"
>Tilt our head.
Dai-chan Prime:> You are flying over the lake.
>Where are we ?
Sendai-chan:> "N-No, I'm fine. The other m-. I found a way to deal with it." Koa says.
>"Koa..... ? Oh.... it's about that again right ?
>Sit down beside her and look at her worriedly.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You were near Yuuka's house.
>Where were we again ?
Medidai-chan:
>"Excuse me Miss Alice, sorry for disturbing, but i have a question regarding Belgrade, is it okay to ask ?"
Dai-chan Probe:> "You have two opposing sides. Each has a row of pawns, and 2 of each other chess piece except for the king and queen. The objective of the game is to move across the board and defeat the enemy king while protecting yours."
>"Oh ! How do you play it ?"
TaoBugs:> Miko moves into the other room. You can see Reimu sitting at the front from here.
> Beat.
SumiDai:
> "Well, I did it when I first found out I could do it, of course."
2:> "Oh. Uh, I'll need a bit of time to think of one..." Hamiya says.
> "All right! I think we should do something that you want to do today, Hamiya. We always do what I want to do, and that's not fair to you."
4:> Your stomach hurts a bit. You also think Flora is awake now.
> Now that Koa is preoccupied with the others, how/what are we doing?
MikoBug:> "Actually, do you have a way to travel there without growing then?" Miko asks.
> "Oh, Miss Miko, if we're really gonna try to travel to the moon, it might be a good idea to do it at our regular sizes. I think Miss Reimu is more likely to get mad about being super-big than just going to the moon."
SumiDai:> "Well, she's already been one for long." Renko says. What if she was a human, but turned into a mermaid somehow?
> Look a little guilty.
> "Oh. I guess so. Sorry...it just never seemed dangerous for Miss Wakasagihime."
Sendai-chan:> "It's nothing you should be worrying about." Koa says.
>"Really ? How honey ?"
Medidai-chan:> "Yes." Alice says, before motioning Belgrade over to her.
>"Is there a way you could examine the magic she has ? It would be nice to know what is her ability, but i am afraid of what she told me..."
Dai-chan Prime:> You hum as you continue along.
>Hum a small melody.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> Wriggle is explaining to Yuuka why you're just standing around.
>What are they currently doing ?
Dai-chan Probe:
>"Hmmm, seems interesting !"
//Crazy idea: I think we should offer to Yuuka what we've offered to everyone else in Prime so far.> You wait.
2:
> "Sure!"
> Give Hamiya some time to think.
4:> You ease the pain again, then sit on the bed.
> Use healing magic to ease the pain.
> Gently have a seat on the bed.
X:
> Are we awake? If so, listen to Flora's thoughts.
MikoBug:> "Flying all the way up to where it reached would be very difficult..." Miko says.
> "I figured we could just fly there in bubbles. Though...it might be impossible to pass through the funny ceiling Senkai has without being really big? I'm not sure."
SumiDai:
> "Oh. that makes sense."
> Give ourselves a light knock on the head while giggling.
> "Sorry!"
SumiDai:> "So, is it safe to have these for long? Will we forget how to walk or anything?" Renko asks. This might be realistically possible.
> "Oh. that makes sense."
> Give ourselves a light knock on the head while giggling.
> "Sorry!"
Sendai-chan:> "I know, but it's nothing to worry about." Koa says. "You already have so many other you's doing things you need to focus on."
>"Koa..... you know that you can trust me, we love each other ! No need to hide it right ?"
>Smile.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "I'll just get your attention next time then." Yuuka smiles.
>"Yea it is hard to sync with all the mes around, sorry for making you wait."
Medidai-chan:
>"Thank you Miss Alice."
>Nod gratefully and wait.
>"So ?"
//Whelp, we just spoke through medicine without permission... Even though we told her we wouldn't do it without permission...> "Permission for what?" Medicine asks. What's she talking about?
Medidai:
>Aaaaaaaaah! I'm so so sorry miss Medicine! I forgot to ask for your permission. I feel so horrible now... s-sorry...
Dai-chan Probe:> "Chess? If we can get it, yea." Micheal says.
>"So can i try it ?"
Catdai:> You have.
>Have we found them cleaning supplies yet?
>keep showing affection to the cat in thoughtscape.
//On an off period in Cool leg...
Medidai:
>Remember when I said I wouldn't speak through your body without permission? I just did it and I feel horrible about it...
Medidai-chan:> "Oh... Don't do it again then." Medicine frowns. I hardly noticed...
>Wait a bit for Miss Alice's response.
>"I am going to ask Miss Alice again okay ?"
>If Medicine agrees: "So what kind of magic is it Miss Alice ?"
Catdai:> The kitten is afraid of being hit again.
>What does the fear seem to be directed at?
>What cleaning supplies did we get. Will they work on carpet?
X:> "I'm bored." Flora says. There's nothing to do in here... I can't see anything else either.
> Good morning again, Flora. How are you doing?
MikoBug:> "Have you tried to warp there yet?" Miko asks.
> "Oh, I suppose that's true."
SumiDai:> "Well, if I didn't have my legs for a few days, then suddenly got ones back, I'd probably need to get used to them again." Renko says. Same for the tail.
> "Maybe? I don't see why anything bad would happen, though. Maybe you'd forget to walk if you had those tails for lots and lots and lots of years?"
Sendai-chan:> "What about what Lucien and Belgrade were going to do?" Koa asks.
>Smile.
>"Hey don`t worry, i don`t have as many things as you think i have to do."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "No thanks." Yuuka says.
>"Yea, still sorry to make you wait."
>Smile too.
>"Oh Miss Yuuka, would you like to join Wriggle inside the thoughtscape ? I can make a clone of you too like i did with her, so you can be together at both places."
Dai-chan Probe:> "I'm not sure. Of course, we want to know how you were able do things like alter time and float and warp and those other things." Micheal says.
>"Hm, so what do we do now ?"
4:> Koakuma, SenDai, and Lucien are in the house as well.
> Is there anyone else around?
X:> "I'm alright. The bubble thingy is still here."
> Aww...I'm sorry, Flora. We'll try to fix that soon, okay? In the meantime, though, how are you feeling?
MikoBug:> "At any rate, we should ask Reimu about now, right?" Miko asks.
> "Hmm...No, I haven't. I don't know if I can go that far, though."
SumiDai:> "It's really pretty boring in here now..." Renko says. There's not much to do when we haven't used these tails long enough.
> "Huh, maybe. I guess that's true."
Dai-chan Prime:> The three of you are in the shrine, along with Kanako and Suwako.
>We there yet ?
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Why do you even want to visit my house?" Yuuka asks.
>"Okay ! Then.... what do you wanna do ? It would be nice to get to know your house, but obviously i need your permission for that."
Medidai-chan:
>"Okay, i will be using it for a few more moments okay ?"
>If agreed to: "So you can't understand it either ? Aw..... Belgrade was thinking that it was something about explosions or exploding, so that is why i am scared...."
Catdai-chan:> You comfort the kitten more.
>"So someone hit you before ? Before i found you i mean ? That is just mean of them !"
>Comfort the kitty.
>"I promise i won't let anyone hit you badly like that again okay ?"
Sendai-chan:> "It's stopping me from being upset about my abilities being used. That's enough for you to know." Koa says.
>"Don`t worry, i got it covered !"
>Nod and hold her hand.
>"Now what is it dear ? Speaking about it always makes someone feel better."
Dai-chan Probe:> "But there must be a way to do so... we might be able to get them." Micheal points to the laser making thing in the corner.
>"Well, not like i can just give them to you, and my powers are very limited mostly."
//Gonna drive for the next hour or so.> You are.
Catdai:
>we're still nude aren't we?
>head to the bathtub since we're already in the bathroom.
>peer over the side and show Maribel the bottle.
>"Miss Maribel, I'd use this for the carpet, right?"
//It would be a good idea to stop agitating Koa. She's taken care of it and will talk about it if/when she wants to.> "But it's boring in here." Flora says.
4:
> Gently have a seat on the bed, if we are not already seated.
X:
> That's good. Hmm...I can't really let you out right now, there are people out there and you took your dress off last night and you don't want to be seen like that. But maybe I could get one of your friends to join you in here?
MikoBug:> Miko exits the shrine, sitting down next to Reimu.
> "Sure!"
SumiDai:> "This is already a lot of water." Maribel says. And we could just get smaller too.
> "Should we try to go somewhere with more water, maybe? Oh, but it would be bad to be seen like this..."
Prime:
>"There's 181 fairies. 182 if you include the other me... What are we even talking about? Sorry. I was distracted again..."
Probe:
>"You and the laser shooter? Why do you even have a laser shooter in here anyway... And why did it try to attack me earlier?"
Dai-chan Probe:> "How much faith we could get from the fairies in exchange for helping build over there." Kanako says.
>"I just know that i have to be very careful with them, or else very bad things can happen...."
Sendai-chan:> Koa nods.
>Look at her worriedly, then relax a bit.
>"Okay, i trust you Koa, just don`t overdo it please."
>Smile.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Maybe I'll let you see it one day." Yuuka says.
>"Well, Wriggle said that it is a great place, so i would like to see it myself."
Catdai-chan:> The kitten doesn't respond anyhow with a clear answer.
>"Who did that to you little kitty ?"
Medidai-chan:> "Neither do I Daiyousei." Alice says.
>Look a bit worried.
>"I guess we have to be very careful then if we want to try and get to know it better then, i don't want my dear daughter to get hurt."
>Rub Belgrade's hair.
Probe:> "It doesn't hurt them. It's just light." Micheal says.
>"Well, I almost never mess with time in THAT way... And if I do ever have to do it I make sure I'm very careful when I do... Localized rewinds seem to be okay, though, and I honestly prefer using them as opposed to a global rewind that could change history with just one wrong move..."
>"And why would you shoot lasers at cats!? That's just mean! They don't deserve to be shot at and hurt!"
Prime:> "Hmph." Kanako crosses her arms. "I'll go ask them then." Kanako flies to the shrine's back.
>"It depends... If they choose to worship you and give you faith, then you'll get some. But it's honestly up to them. They aren't letting anyone use or walk over them anymore, and every decision they make should be their choice, not forced on them. Honestly, the best way to go about it would be to ask them yourselves..."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Don't hold your breath." Yuuka says.
>Nod.
>"Okay ! I will wait eagerly for that day !"
>Smile and bow.
Catdai-chan:> The kitten looks around.
>"Hmmm, i wish you could talk too....."
Medidai-chan:
>"Well Belgrade, it seems like we won't know your abilities for sure so soon, sorry dear."
X:> "But it's also small in here. We couldn't do anything." Flora says.
> That's why I suggested bringing a friend of yours in here. Then you wouldn't be bored, because you'd have them.
MikoBug:> "Fine, for the most part." Reimu says.
> Beat.
SumiDai:> "Oh, I have an idea." Sumireko says. "Why don't we head back to Gensokyo and have a duel? You two know how to shoot danmaku, right?" I bet their spellcards would look wonderful together.
> "Hmm...I'm not sure what to do, then."
//Congrats on the move!> "Ohh... It might work then." Flora says. "But I don't really have much friends."
X:
> That's what we thought about getting you in here, though, and that worked out okay.
MikoBug:> "I'll see if she would be willing." "Care to share?"
> "Huh. Maybe we can help her with whatever the problem is?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "Not unless they try to attack her, maybe." Suwako says.
>Look a bit worried.
>"She won't do anything bad to them right ?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "She means it'll be a long time before she decides." Wrigdai says.
>"Huh ? What do you mean ?"
Medidai-chan:
>Hug Belgrade.
>"Please don't be sad dear, i promise we will find out about it."
>"Do you have any ideas Medicine ? Any clues would be nice."
Dai-chan Probe:> "Who is this onee-chan you keep talking about?" Micheal asks.
>"Oh, okay then.... so could you tell me more about this world, onee-chan told me a bit about it when she still lived here."
Catdai-chan:> The kitten is wondering where this is.
>"Huh ? What is it little kitty ?"
>Read it's thoughts.
X:> "I don't know..."
> What about any of the other sunflower fairies from yesterday?
MikoBug:> "Well, it's just her business anyways." "If you say so." Miko says.
> "Awww..."
Probe:
>"Onee-chan is a human Shrine Maiden. And, well, we aren't related by blood. But she's like a big sis to me..."
>"And danmaku looks like light too. But it hurts... Actually, aren't lasers a type of danmaku? Oh yeah, they are..."
Dai-chan Probe:> "Danmaku?"
>"It's my foster big sister Sanae, she really cares about me and we look a lot alike, and since family is made of bonds of love and friendship i consider her family, and so does she."
>Smile.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Then I'll take a better approach, and then they will." Suwako smiles. "It's a win win either way."
>"Hm..... well if she does, then they won't give her any faith..."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "I'll make sure to tell you when she allows it." WrigDai says.
>"Oh... well, patience is a virtue right ? Not like i will die of age or anything, so i will wait until you can trust me."
Medidai-chan:
>"Oh sorry, hmm.... Medicine, how did you find out about your powers then ?"
Catdai-chan:> The kitten lies down.
>"Oh, we are inside my mind little kitty."
>Point to our head.
Sendai-chan:> "We'll find out one day, right?" Koa says.
>"Hmmm, looks like not even Miss Alice could figure out what is Belgrade's ability...."
>Sad face.
X:> Flora shakes her head.
> Hmm...is there anyone you definitely know about, then?
MikoBug:> "So what are you here for?" Reimu asks.
> "I guess. Oh well."
SumiDai:> "It'd just be your danmaku then." Maribel frowns. I want my first shot to be mine, not just a trial.
> "Huh... you know, I bet the three of you could channel my power for danmaku if you wanted."
Dai-chan Probe:
>"It's like energy, but in the form of a bullet."
>Fire a small pellet on the wall to show.
>"Kinda like this, it is harmless, might hurt a bit and mess with your clothes, but nothing much."
//phone is dying, so I might not be here even on my breaks until very late.
Probe:
>"Danmaku is a way most people resolve conflicts where I come from. We shoot magic at each other and we dodge it. The magic is harmless, but it can cripple and kill fairies because we're so fragile compared to everything else. Usually it just stings a lot and damages clothes and gives you some light cuts and scrapes. Also we use these things called spellcards in danmaku duels too, which are like harder patterns. Oh and danmaku patterns usually focus more on beauty than power and there's a whole set of rules regarding duels too"
//on break, somehow I still have power.> You can fire both kinds.
>What kinds of danmaku can we shoot? Can we fire lasers? If so, is it the instantly manifesting kind, or the kind that acts like a long danmaku bullet and actually flies?
Dai-chan Prime:> "A nice and welcoming one." Suwako smiles.
>"What kind of approach Miss Suwako ?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Excuse me?" Yuuka points her umbrella towards you. "Would you like to-"
>"Okay Wriggle, so.... i guess you two would like to be alone ? I bet i am just interfering in your affairs..."
Medidai-chan:
>"Yea i guess... i need to become a better mother..."
Catdai-chan:> You make a small ball of yarn.
>"Oh i know ! Let's play !"
>Beckon the cat by imagining a small ball of yarn in our hand.
Sendai-chan:> Koa nods in agreement.
>"Yea... it's just... if i want to be a good mother i need to give my children the most help i can...."
X:> "Nope." Flora says.
> Hmm...and you all don't really do any names...I can ask all of the rest of them if they know you, at least. Did you have any features that you think stood out to the rest of them?
MikoBug:> "Simply put, I would like to travel to th-"
> Beat.
SumiDai:> "Teaching us is another thing though." Maribel lightens a bit. It'd still be our own.
> "Oh, that's fair. Sorry."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Good." Yuuka frowns.
>Cower a bit in fear, but stand our ground.
>"Sorry ! I-I didn't mean to make it sound like that..."
Sendai-chan:> "Um..." Koa thinks.
>"So what do we do now ?"
]
Catdai-chan:> You put the ball in front of the kitten, and it moves it a bit with it's paw. The ball rolls very slowly.
>"Here."
>Put the ball in front of her.
>"Try touching it."
Medidai-chan:> "Not yet. Alice says there's something with Marisa." Medicine says.
>"So we done ?"
//lunch break, still have power somehow.> "So then it's like a paintball fight?" Micheal asks.
Probe:
>"Well, if gun bullets were slower and made of energy and not lethal, then I guess so... but spellcards duels and guns are very different. Danmaku is more of an art, and it's much more safer. It's also very popular where I live, it let's a fragile and weak fairy or a human to actually stand a chance against stronger humans, fairies, and youkai without fear of either side being seriously injured. Well unless your a fairy, then you'd probably lose a limb or die... but at least we come back. "
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Why not, specifically?" Yuuka raises an eyebrow.
>"Phew... i really don't want to fight you, i don't like to fight like that, it could hurt someone, what if the flowers got hit ? I don't want them to get hit..."
Sendai-chan:> You approach the door.
>"Oh !"
>Approach the door too.
>"Who is it ?"
Medidai-chan:> Medicine frowns.
>"Um, just a second please."
>"Maybe she is experimenting with Miss Mima ?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "It does." Suwako says. "You look a lot like Sanae."
>"Oh good !"
>Lighten up a bit.
>"Hey um, Miss Suwako, does this outfit suit me well ? Please be honest."
Catdai-chan:> You squish the ball a bit.
>"It's a ball of yarn, yarn is super fluffy."
>Squish the ball a bit.
Dai-chan Probe:> "It's a game. It uses sort of guns, but with nonlethal shots; Paintballs. It's just for fun."
>"Paint-ball ? What is that ?"
>Look a bit puzzled.
Sendai:> "Oh. Um. I've seen Ms Kokoro waiting for quite a long time in the Human Village. When I finally approached her about it, she said she was waiting on you. You better not have pranked her like this. This would be going a bit too far."
>"Yup! This is Daiyousei speaking!"
>"What are you doing here, Miss Keine?"
>Do we have any Dais immediately outside?
Probe:
>"Huh..."
>Remember to automatically beat for Medidai if no commands are given to her.
X:> "Okay." Flora says.
> Hmm...okay. I'll ask around about you, then.
Army:
> Ask our hosts if any of them are friends with Flora. Provide a physical description of Flora when asking.
MikoBug:> You do not.
> Do we know any Lunarians?
SumiDai:
> "Oh, that could work!"
Army:> Their names are Emily Clover, Daisy, and Sakura.
> Isolate the two or three that remember Flora as the fairy we went inside. Name the Dais FriendDai[1,2,3,etc].
FriendDais:
> Determine our hosts' names.
> Describe Flora's current predicament, putting it as nicely as possible, and ask if any of them are willing to help.
MikoBug:> "As she said, they're people on the moon." Miko answers. "I see. Thank you anyways."
> "Lunarians? What are Lunarians?"
SumiDai:> "It was more like a pool, but yea." Sumireko says. I'm not even sure if we're cleaner or not.
> "Oh, do you want to be all done with our bath?"
Dai-chan Prime:> You create a Koa clone and replicate the necessary process, before sending her on her way to Kourindou.
>"Thank you Miss Suwako, i hope i can help onee-chan and you two too."
>Tilt our head with a smile.
>Also do all the Koa clone process, the creation and return of Koa magic and all that, na.e her Maskdai-chan and send her to Kourindou.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Why don't we see how strong you are then?" Yuuka asks.
>"Well, i was never one to fight really, even though i am stronger than the average fairy and... um.... bigger, it feels bad when it is like that."
>Nod.
>"But i should still be brave, i need to be brave, else how will i protect the people that i love when they are in danger ?"
Medidai-chan:> "I don't know. Wasn't she with you last?" Alice asks. "Daiyousei, I mean."
>"Then i guess we go inside then, what was she doing last time you saw her Miss Alice ?"
>Get up too.
Catdai-chan:> The kitten squishes the ball more, and it rolls away a bit, moreso than the other time.
>"It is really cool right dear ?"
Sendai-chan:> "Um... I'm not too sure. Another time maybe." Keine says.
>"Oh ! The mask ! Well, Miss Koishi told me she sold it at that Kourindou shop, so i am planning to see if it is really there, and if it is, then i guess i will have to do some errands for it."
>Look at our family.
>"Meanwhile, would you like to come in Miss Keine ? I would like for you to meet my house and family."
> Rename the FriendDais after their hosts.> "Okay..." Emily agrees.
EmilyDai:
> Because Flora needs some company, and you at least remember her. It would be perfectly safe for you, don't worry.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Oh." Suwako nods.
>"Oh, it's because i forgot that i have to help a youkai named Kokoro get her mask back, so i gotta go to Kourindou since that is the clue i got."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You recall it being in the thoughtscape.
>"M-Me ?!? Are you sure ? I mean, yea i have my own spellcard now, but i still need to test one last bit of the pattern..."
>Where is the spellcard speaking of that ?
Medidai-chan:> You have Medicine follow Alice. Belgrade and the other dolls follow as well.
>"Well, last time i saw her was when she was talking to Mister Rinnosuke, then she left."
>Follow Miss Alice outside.
Catdai-chan:> The kitten moves the ball further, making it roll longer and unravel a bit. It mews and heads towards it quicker.
>"Ehehe !"
Sendai-chan:> "Two children?" Keine asks.
>"Okay then, oh ! Wait a min, is it okay if i have my two children go to school and take your classes Miss Keine ?"
//break.> "They're just paint balls, so they're naturally colorful. Being paint and all." Micheal says.
Probe:
>"How colorful? Do the paint balls glow as they fly like danmaku?"
Secunde:> You look around. There's nothing else much that's new to see. Kanako is flying from across the lake however. She's near the water, and it's parting in waves as she flies past it.
>look around.
>is Miss Kanako here yet?
Probe:> "No, they don't, but they fly pretty much as fast as normal bullets."
>"But do they glow? And how fast do they fly?"
Catdai:> You are.
>Are we still standing in the bathroom and... You know... not cleaning the carpet?
//Remember to auto-beat medidai if no actions are given to her.
Probe:> "So danmaku is easier then?" Micheal asks.
>"So they're not easy to dodge... I mean, with danmaku you actually have a chance to dodge it... Shots that are too fast are actually against the rules I'm pretty sure."
>Are they?
Catdai:> You head back to the bedroom.
>Move it lazy-bones! That carpet isn't gonna clean itself!
//I'll have someone who was actually present for Marisa at Kourindou answer Alice
Medidai-chan:> Alice frowns, then quickly flies towards the door.
>"I-I don't know, i was with Tokiko and didn't hear anything about their talk, sorry...."
Sendai-chan:> Lucien approaches you.
>"Yea, hold on, Lucien can you come here for a second ?"
>Beckon him.
>"This is my son Lucien Miss Keine, Lucien, this is Miss Keine, teacher of the village school."
Dai-chan Prime:> "It might not be that soon..." Sanae says.
>"I also wonder how old he or she would be, so we could have our three kids play together !"
>Smile.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Then we're testing it now." Yuuka flies up and back some, preparing her umbrella.
>"Yea, i asked for some help with it from Miss Reimu, i haven't really tested it fully yet, onee-chan Sanae couldn't beat the last pattern so i am not sure if it is a valid pattern or not."
Dai-chan Secunde:> You watch Kanako approach.
>Keep an eye on that Kanako !
Medidai-chan:> You follow after Alice. She's going pretty quickly and it's hard to keep up..
>"Hey wait up for us too !"
>Go after her too.
Sendai-chan:> "I don't know..." Keine says.
>"Yes, i was wondering if he could take classes at the village too, along with my daughter Belgrade."
\
Dai-chan Prime:> "Don't try to provoke her or anything." Suwako says.
>"Oh, well, it was just an idea, and Miss Kanako is approaching the lake, i hope she doesn't do anything mean."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You back off. By the time you look to Yuuka, there's already a thin light coming from her umbrella, similar to Marisa's Master Spark.
>"Now ?!?? A-Alright."
>Back off too and keep an eye onto Miss Yuuka, also keep our spellcard at ready.
Catdai-chan:> The kitten moves the ball again, and it rolls again.
>"You never saw a yarn ball before huh ?"
X:> "Okay." Flora says.
> Okay, Flora, I might have found a few friends that can join you and keep you company, all right?
DaisyDai, SakuraDai:
> Is it okay for you two as well? I want to make absolutely sure everyone that gets involves is okay with it.
MikoBug:> Miko nods.
> "I guess we probably shouldn't go, then, if we'll get attacked if we go there...[/i]
SumiDai:> "I've been ready." Renko says. Lets get back to land already.
> "Okay. Is everyone ready to go back to regular legs?[/i]
//T for thoughtspeak and thoughtscape speak (either with others inside us or when we are inside others), R for realityland speak (either with others inside us or when we are inside others)? It's at least consistent with what I've been doing with Prime. EDIT: I'll use F for forcing thoughts, I guess, as much as I probably won't do it ever again. (It was bad enough to do it with Miko...)> Koa, Lucien, SenDai, and Dai X.
4:
> Who else is around in the house at this point?
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):> The three nod.
> Nothing bad will happen, no. Flora's been inside me for a long time now, and she's still perfectly safe. Also, please try not to speak too much until you're inside me and see her, okay? There are some other people in my house right now, and we don't want to disturb them. Okay, here we go!
> Use our Sunny magic to make our hosts invisible, and then warp our hosts into our house with 4, using 4's PoV as a guide.
> Begin shrinking our hosts as fast as we can until they are small enough to fit inside 4's mouth.
MikoBug (T):> "Have you seen anything strange lately Reimu?" Miko asks.
> "In that case, I guess you should probably get back to doing your regular Tao-y things. I don't want to be more of a bother than I already have."
SumiDai:> You return the couple's legs.
> "Okay."
HifuuBugs:
> Change our hosts' tails back to legs.
Sendai-chan:> "Wouldn't that mean you're still taking school, with you children as well?" Keine asks.
>"Huh ? Why not ?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> The light grows brighter and you warp upwards into the sky. A massive laser fills the space you were previously at.
>Pick a spot in the sky and as soon as we see the light grow brighter warp to said spot.
>Once we are out of cooldown fire some regular danmaku and then use the warp danmaku.
Dai-chan Prime:> "If we're also allowed to do something in the case that they attack her, then yes." Suwako grins.
>"If she harms someone can i warp her back here ?"
Catdai-chan T:> You pet the kitten. It mews again.
>Pet kitten.
Medidai-chan T:> "Wait, why's she so intrigued with Marisa's whereabouts?" Medicine asks.
>"I hope everything is alright..."
Maskdai-chan:
>We there yet ?
Probe:> "Oh. Of course it would..." Micheal says. "How complex does it get? And how could you dodge stuff like that then?"
>"It depends on how good you are at dodging, and how complex your opponent's pattern is. Being able to fly also helps."
4:> You repeat the process Flora went through for the three other fairies.
> Open our mouth wide enough for Flora's friends to get in.
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):
> Okay, here we go. It might get dark, but you're still safe, so don't worry.
> Unmake our hosts' wings with Sanae magic.
> Form Patchy bubbles around our hosts, conforming the bubbles to the shapes of our hosts much like Flora's bubble.
> Fly into 4's mouth, down her throat, and find Flora, making sure not to run into her bubble and pop it by accident.
4:
> Close our mouth once Flora's friends are safely inside.
MikoBug (T):> "Well, thank you for your time Reimu." Miko stands up.
> Smile.
> "Great! Now you won't get in trouble."
SumiBug:> You return Sumireko's tail into legs again.
> Change our host's tail back into legs as well.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You stop time.
>Stop time briefly, just enough to check it then if it is a threat dodge it and resume time.
>"Oh right ! Sorry for that ! I forgot about it, please give me a moment."
>Go back to the same height level and get ready again.
>"Okay, we can resume now."
Sendai-chan:> "Yea, but how early an education is this? How old are they?" Keine asks.
>"Um... i don't see much of a problem, sure it is weird, but isn't it better to get them an education early ?"
Armydai-chans T:> "We know. Good fairies don't attack people without at least trying to talk to them first." The fairies say.
>"There is a lady coming here that could help us build the village, so please don't attack her okay ?"
Medidai-chan T:> "Eh!? When did this happen?" Medicine stops with a surprised face.
>"She and Miss Marisa are together now, like they love each other, that is why Miss Alice is so worried."
Catdai-chan:> You start to clean up the carpet.
>Clean up that carpet !
Dai-chan Prime:> "Sure." Suwako says.
>"I told them to not attack her, so it should be okay right ?"
>Put on a puzzled look.
>"Um Miss Suwako, can a person become a god or goddess if a good number of people start having faith on him or her ? Onee-chan and i were talking about that yesterday."
Probe:> "Seems like a fun pastime." Micheal says.
>"Well, it's kinda hard to describe complexity, since everyone's spellcards are unique. But it is always possible to dodge a spellcards no matter how complex it is. Impossible to dodge spells are against the rules... As for dodging, you just move yourself through gaps in your opponent's pattern. And in the event you can't dodge in time, or you get cornered, you use a bomb. Which is a special spellcard that cancels enemy shots when activated, and does a lot of damage if you can hit your opponent with it. But you can only use it a limited amount of times per duel."
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:> You continue on.
> Make a game note when we see Flora.
MikoBug (T):> "Maybe..." Miko responds. "I want to see if I can figure out what her problem is."
> "So are you gonna go home, Miss Miko?"
SumiDai:> The trio nods.
> "Everyone ready to get out?"
Medidai:> You continue flying.
>Keep flying.
>Is Belgrade still with us?
>(T) A few days ago. I helped match them! I learned Miss Alice liked Miss Marisa, and I convinced her to approach her... And Miss Marisa reciprocatedateded and they were a couple ever since
Sendai:> "A-A day old?" Keine jumps a bit. "Isn't that far too young? I mean, do they know how to behave in such an environment? How much do they already know?"
>Is Lucien at the door where Keine can see him?
>If so:
>>"Well, my son, Lucien is about a day old. And my daughter Belgrade is two days old. Both of them are capable of talking and stuff though."
Probe:> "Hm?"
>"Well, it's more than just a pastime..."
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):> You maneuver the three to open spaces inside here.
> There she is!
> Fly to what open spaces next to Flora inside 4's belly that we can find at our current tiny size. Head toward three separate places if possible, rather than bunching all of us up at once.
X:
> There we go, Flora. A few friends have arrived!
MikoBug (T)> Miko returns to the inside of the shrine.
> "Oh, okay."
SumiDai, RenBug, MerryBug (not SumiBug, Sumireko can follow suit on her own):> You fly the two out of the tub, and Sumireko follows.
> Fly upward and out of the tub, landing on the floor.
Medidai:> The group continues to fly.
>Beat.
Sendai:> "Yea..." Keine says.
>"Well he certainly looks more than a day old, doesn't he? And he already knows how to talk and stuff."
>Gesture to Lucien.
>"As for what he already knows... I'm not sure... Lucien dear, care to share anything you know?"
Probe:> "Oh. So since fairies are hurt easily by it, they're in danger most of the day?"
>"Like I said earlier, spellcard duels are how most conflicts are resolved where I come from. It's less of a pastime and more of a thing of everyday life..."
X:
> Oh, whoops! Sorry.
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):
> Make our hosts visible again.
> You could tell Flora about Fairy Village and what you've all seen. Oh, and let me bring you back to the same size as her...
> Begin carefully unshrinking our hosts, making sure their bubbles grow along with them.
4:
> Monitor our health and comfort level. Hike up our dress so we can watch, just to be safe.
//I'm not going to stop you, but I just have a bad feeling about this, Kilga...> "Oh yea." Emily Clover says. "Flora person, we're making a fairy village for only good fairies high up on the mountain."
>Does 4 have any outstanding flan clones that have important roles?
MikoBug (T):> "Then we just need to locate her." Miko continues.
> "Oh yeah! Miss Suika will definitely tell you stuff if she knows."
SumiDai:> You return everyone to their regular sizes. Mostly regular, aside from their chests.
> Begin unshrinking ourselves.
RenBug, MerryBug, SumiBug:
> Begin unshrinking our hosts.
Probe:> Very frequently. Fights among themselves are just as common.
>How frequently are fairies involved in danmaku fights with others? Among themselves?
>How many danmaku fights have we been involved in over the last week? Including the ongoing one with Yuuka right now.
YuukaDai:> You are currently fighting Yuuka, while Wriggle watches. Previously, she had fired two lasers at you in quick succession, which you dodged with Sakuya's timestop. Yuuka then created a strange shady area around you, and started to fire a ring burst from her umbrella. You are currently deciding what to do next.
>Status report?
//Understandable. The dress hike is there exactly for precautionary observation reasons; just in case soothing the pain and discomfort isn't enough to keep 4 safe and healthy, we'll at least be able to see a problem coming.> You soothe the pain and continue unshrinking them.
4:
> Use Sanae magic to soothe the pain.
> Continue monitoring our health and watching our belly for signs of bad things.
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> Continue carefully unshrinking our hosts.
MikoBug (T):> Miko nods, continuing through the shrine.
> She's asleep a lot, so I bet if you just wandered around the shrine grounds you'd eventually find her."
SumiDai:
> "We should probably get towels now."
//No freaking out, now, please. This is fixable.> You stop growing them.
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> Stop growing our hosts.
> How large are our hosts compared to their normal size?
4:
> Use some more Sanae magic to heal the split, stop the bleeding, and ease the pain.
> How much Sanae magic do we still have?
SumiDai:> Maribel smiles and closes the door behind her, revealing another large towel hanging on the door.
> "Three for four of us, huh? Well, I guess I could hide in someone so I wouldn't need one..."
X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:> You create a quick three Flan-clone trio, and have them warp their Sanae magic into Dai 4, before unmaking them.
> Rrgh, sorry, I'll try to fix that...
Prime:
> Create three Flan-clones. Have the Flan clones warp all of their Sanae magic into 4 for storage, then unmake them.
4:
> Heal ourselves again.
> Once our belly is fixed, try focusing growth magic on our belly (and not the fairies inside) and making it bigger, so there is more room for the fairies inside.
MikoBug (T):> Miko continues to search in the shrine, getting to the back room.
> Beat.
SumiDai:> "No problem." Hehe.. Maribel gives everyone a towel, taking the door one down and handing it to you.
> Smile.
> "Thanks!"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You evaluate the danmaku. It's basic bursts outwards that seem really easy to dodge.
>Evaluate incoming danmaku.
>Fire again another danmaku spread with the warp danmaku.
Maskdai-chan:> You are waiting outside Kourindou. Nothing interesting is going on out here.
>Report.
Dai-chan 2:> "Alright..." Hamiya sighs.
>"Uhh..... i dunno.... Miss Reimu strictly told us to keep it a secret, Miss Mima herself wasn't supposed to learn it."
Sendai-chan:> You close the door.
>"Okay ! Have a good day !"
>Enter and close the door.
>"So what do you wanna do next ? Maybe visit the village ?"
Dai-chan Prime:> "What were they saying?" Suwako asks.
>"I dunno if i would do a excellent job as a fairy goddess, but if it means i could help more people then it would be nice, people were kinda talking around me when i was strolling around the village."
Dai-chan Secunde:> "A house for each and every one of them is asking for far too much. Houses for groups of them are possible however." Kanako says. "If they're willing to provide us with faith for the time they're here."
>Go to where Miss Kanako stopped at.
>"So this is the place, it is 181 fairies, is it possible for you to build all of their houses ?"
X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):> The fairies give questioning looks.
> Okay, hopefully that will help a bit.
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> Resume carefully unshrinking our hosts.
4:
> How does our belly look now?
> Continue growing just our belly a little bit.
> Continue monitoring our health and watching our belly for signs of bad things.
SumiDai:> You start to dry off.
> Take the offered towel and begin drying off.
//Yikes, my sympathies. Anything you wanna talk about, parser? I hope everything will be okay for you regardless.> "How does it look?" Flora asks.
X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):
> You should have a little more room now. Anyway, Flora, you're welcome to live in the fairy village as well if you want.
4, X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> Continue coordinating host unshrinking, belly growth, and healing until the shrunken fairies have returned to their original size.
MikoBug:
> Where are Futo and Tojiko?
> Beat.
Probe:
>When fairies are involved in danmaku battles with others, is it usually because the enemy attacks without provocation, or is it usually because the fairies shoot first?
>What is the usual reason fairies fight each other?
>"Not really, since we come back if we die... But there is the whole memory loss thing... And unfortunately, because of that not many of us learn from our mistakes."
Medidai:
>Report.
Cirdai:
>Are we there yet?
Prime(T):
>Find Cirno in thoughtscape.
Sendai:
>"If you want. Maybe we could ask Cirno-chan if there's anything to do too? She's Lucien's mom just like both of us, so she should have a chance to bond with our son too I think."
Medidai-chan:> Fairies fire first.
>What is going on ? Did we follow Alice all the way ? If not keep going after her.
>Is the little doll still with us ? What about Belgrade ?
//Sorry to hear that. :(> You head into Kourindou.
Maskdai-chan:
>Well get in already !
Dai-chan Yuuka:
>To both of our sides, then warp them to her sides in a flank maneuver.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Oh." Suwako says.
>"I was too shy to go and ask, but they were pointing at me, so that is what i thought."
>Fidget a bit.
>"Sorry."
Dai-chan Prime T:
>What is going on here ?
Catdai-chan:> You fuse the cat and yourself with SumiDai.
>Fuse the Cat with Sumidai-chan and merge with Sumidai-chan.
Sumidai-chan:
>We done drying ?
>"Um hey uh... but does it really make people jealous like that when they see me ?"
Dai-chan 2:> "It's alright." Hamiya says.
>"We could ask her if you want to though, i don't think she will deny it as long as you do not tell anyone else no matter what.".
4:> You sit down and continue.
> Have a seat on the floor next to the bed, leaning our back up against the bed for support.
X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):
> Yeah, everyone's working on it now with the tall purple lady, I think.
4, X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> Continue coordinating host unshrinking, belly growth, and healing until the shrunken fairies have returned to their original size.
Probe:> "Oh." Micheal continues to listen.
>"I mean, the only real danger to us is ourselves... Most danmaku fights involving fairies are either started by fairies shooting first, or because we're fighting each other over something silly... Of course, I just know this can change. I'm trying to teach a group of fairies how to be a bit less... reckless... and it seems to be working for now."
>Did Catdai finish cleaning before she was fused?
Dai-chan Prime:> "Did you learn anything else about fusion?" Sanae lights up.
>"Well at least i learned how to make minor miracles like heal small wounds, it will be very useful to help others, like if the village kids get hurt."
Cirdai-chan T:> "Huh? What do you mean?" CirDai asks.
>"Hey Cirno-chan, would you like to have some fun with Koa, our kids and i ?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> The circle shooting danmaku everywhere outside of it seems to be shrinking inwards some. You also notice another white line near you. If that Yuuka is still there, then you are effectively trapped, as the danmaku outside is too dense to warp and be able to move around, while the laser will undoubtedly cover the entire shady circle.
>Evaluate our situation now, if it is all clear, try firing some lasers at Yuuka.
Sumidai-chan:> "You look young and still have a large chest." Maribel says.
>"Huh ? What do you mean with 'looks like that' ?"
Dai-chan Secunde:> "Right." Kanako flies up to be seen by everyone. "So, here's the thing. We want stuffs and things from you, and in return, you'll get stuffs and things from us. Mutual benefit."
>"So she can help us build our village, but we will need to trust and have faith in her and Miss Suwako and Onee-chan Sanae in exchange, since they collect faith for their living, mind explaining it a bit more Miss Kanako please ?"
Maskdai-chan:> "Yes." Rinnosuke says. "Please know that just because you ran an errand earlier, that doesn't mean you get something free. Most of the time at least."
>Is Mister Rinnosuke around ?
>If so: "Hey um, Mister Rinnosuke, do you have any masks around here ?"
Sendai-chan:> Koa goes to sit down at the bed, but quickly stops and turns back to the door, before sitting down.
>"Okay."
Medidai-chan:> You continue following Alice, and your group lands at Kourindou.
>Keep going.
Cirdai (T):> You are near the treehouse. Lily is still heading past it.
>"Our son Lucien wants to do something fun and Koa and I are out of ideas. I was wondering if you both had one and wanted to join us."
>Where exactly are we?
EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:> You are almost there.
> How far along are we?
4:
> How are we holding up?
> Beat.
2:> "The most I'd want is to just be able to fuse and unfuse on my own." Hamiya says. "Well, have you seen anything interesting with any of the other you's?"
> Give a bit of a sad frown.
> "Hmmm...I wonder there's a way you and I could fusion, so that you can do whatever fusion stuff you wanted to do through me."
4, X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:> You continue the process.
> Beat.
MikoBug (T):> "Alright." "Miss Suika. Would you care to talk for a bit?" Miko sits down.
> "Oh, it's Clownpiece. Don't look at her torch, Miss Miko, or else you'll go insane."
2:> "Hm... Anything else? I'm sure people would be more interested in things happening in Gensokyo."
> "Oh yeah! The other mes got to see outer space and the outside world!"
X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug (T):> "Hi I'm Daisy!" Daisy attempts to wave to Flora, but there's not much space for her to do so.
> Well, mostly keeping Flora company, and tell her about the new fairy village. Maybe you could all properly introduce yourselves?
4, X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> Continue with previous actions.
MikoBug (T):> "Reimu seems to be a bit down. Any idea why?" Miko asks.
> Watch with interest.
2:> "Uh... I guess so. You sure it'll be a thing though?"
> "Oh. Um, well, there's probably gonna be a fairy village soon. Does that count?"
4, X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:> You continue.
> How close are we to finished?
> Continue with previous actions.
SenDai:> Koa nods, and the magic circle appears under her, making her vanish.
> "Oh! Sure, that's fine. We gotta do what she says anyway. I hope to see you soon again, though!"
MikoBug (T):> "Should we approach one of them about this?" "Anything else they talked about?"
> "Oh, so that's why Miss Marisa isn't home..."
X, Daisy, Sakura, Emily bugs: (Collectively refer to them as StomachBugs from now on to save on typing. )> "Fairies we love?" Flora asks.
>(T) "Well, I helped her pick out a name and since Emily was already taken she was given a last name to make her more unique. And you guys are free to make families with fairies you love too if you want. You're good fairies, so you can choose to do it."
Secunde:> (Secunde) Kanako seems to be waiting in front of you.
>Has Kanako left yet?
>If not, and she hasn't gone too far, catch up to her and get her attention.
Prime:
>Is Kanako back yet?
>if so, "Hey, Miss Kanako..."
>if not, wait.
StomachBugs (T):
>Well, it doesn't have to be fairies, it can be anyone you love, human, fairy, or youkai... I mean, I love both Cirno-chan, a fairy, and Koakuma, a demon, and they're part of my family... Wait... Do you guys even know what love is?
4, X, BellyBugs:> "Nope." The fairies say.
> Could we simply stop growing the fairies for a few moments while continuing to grow our stomach in order to make sure they have enough room without growing the rest of us? If so, do so until there's enough room, and then finish off unshrinking the BellyBug hosts.
Secunde:> "If they give us enough faith, we'll try to get them what they want. Sanae's miracles should be potent enough to miraculously recover what they want." Kanako grins a bit. "We three could probably create their entire village ourselves if given enough faith. And to clarify before you try something funny, I said almost whatever they want."
>"Um... Miss Kanako is it true that you can give them anything they want if they give you faith?"
Dai-chan Secunde:> Kanako nods. "Pretty much."
>"So like prayers and trusting you and all that right ? Does any prayer work ?"
Prime:> "Maybe not anything. I mean, we can't give them the moon." Suwako says.
>"Um... Miss Kanako just promised the fairies anything they want, in addition for help with the village, in exchange for faith... Are you guys really able to give them anything?"
Medibug:> "Yea, she was."
>report
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "It seems like a great spellcard. You know, minus that laser the other you was going to shoot." Wriggle says.
>"Huh ? Why did you stop ?"
Sendai-chan:> You sit down on the bed.
>"Koa..."
>Sit down on the bed.
Dai-chan Prime:> Sanae frowns a bit.
>"Um, no onee-chan... I haven't been able to find time for it yet, which is kinda sad since it is one of my main abilities, my warp makes it so that i am second to none in doing it, or at least i think, sorry..."
Mikodai-chan T:> "Sure." "Do you know where she went?"
>"Hey Miss Miko, could you do me a favor and ask where did Miss Marisa go please ?"
Sumidai-chan:> "Well we aren't regular humans either." Maribel says.
>"Oh.... well, i am no regular fairy after all from what it seems, i wish i could know how i was made."
2:> "I still think I should wait until it's actually a thing." Hamiya says. "Where's it gonna be? Near the Human Village?"
> "I think so. The fairies are really excited for it, at least."
> Did we ever get confirmation whether or not Marisa was home?> You haven't.
2:
> "It'll be kinda close to Miss Sanae's place, I think."
Dai-chan 2:> "Oh. That's not too far... Any reason you didn't choose elsewhere? Like Misty Lake?"
>"No, it's around the lake."
4, X, EmilyBug, DaisyBug, SakuraBug:
> How close are we to finished?
> Continue with previous actions to finish off the unshrinking.
StomachBugs (T):> "A hundred times better?" The fairies question. "That's a lot."
>Well, it's more than that... When you love someone, it's like being best friends with them but a hundred times better, you care about each other and you live together and the feeling is just wonderful. And it feels so nice to sleep in the same bed with people you love... Oh, I could go on about this all day... And it isn't limited to just humans either, Sakura, I've seen humans in love with youkai, Youkai with youkai... And heck, if anything, Cirno-chan and I are living proof that fairies can love each other. And me and Koa is fairy with demon.
Probe:> Micheal is listening to you.
>Whats going on on our end?
>look around.
MIkobug (T):> "How long ago did she leave?" Miko asks.
>Could you ask how long ago Miss Marisa left? Did we just miss her?
Secunde:> "Ideology." Kanako says. "And of course I'm being honest. Sanae would be upset with me if I just planned to exploit them."
>"Oh, almost? Okay, as long as you're being honest... I don't want these fairies being lied to... It would be like exploiting them if they were, and letting them be exploited will go against the uh... what's the word? I-dee-doll-oh-gee? - I taught them..."
Prime:
>"Well, she clarified that she said almost anything... I guess that's a bit more reasonable..."
Dai-chan Prime:> "I kinda wanna see how the village develops. Plus, we have to get Nitori and the others to start too." Sanae says.
>"Oh, um, should we go visit that place you told me about Onee-chan ?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You sit down and wait as the two enter the house.
>"Sure, so you can make another you too ? Incredible !"
>Sit on the steps of the house and wait, do the 'fire a pellet and keep warping it around without hitting anything' to pass time.
Sendai-chan:> "Keeping what away?" Lucien asks.
>"You should know that keeping it away from me makes me even more worried...."
Sumidai-chan:> "Uh... I don't think we do... Why don't you bring one of yours from home?" Maribel asks.
>"I guess... so uh.... do you have any clothes for me ? I don't have any clean ones here."
2:> "Tall purple lady?"
> "'Cause there's a lot of spae there, and the tall purple lady can help them build their living spaces."
4:> Your stomach is very large. Almost like a large bag. Your dress won't cover it.
> How do we look?
> Try to stand up.
MikoBug (T):> "I'm fine with going myself." Miko says.
> "Hmm...maybe we should go look for her? You can make more yous to do more things if you want."
Medidai:> Alice had asked where Marisa left, and Rinnosuke answered that it might've been Reimu's shrine.
>What's been happening?
Probe:> "You don't have any more stories or anything?" Micheal asks.
>"So, is there anything else you wanna talk about Mr. Micheal?"
StomachBugs (T):> "Wait, why do we even need to make babies if we're not made that way?" Daisy asks.
>Well, maybe I'm exaggerating... But it does feel much better than just being best friends-
2:> "Kanako? She's not Sanae's mom..." Hamiya says.
> "Yeah! One of Miss Sanae's moms."
MikoBug (T):> "Any more information we should try to get before heading there?" Miko stands up.
> "Okay!"
4:
> Try holding our belly and lifting it with our arms as well as our legs in order to try standing up.
X, BellBugs (T):
> Well, you're all kind of babies now in a way, right? Since you're all in my belly.
Stomachbugs (T):> You attempt to use your limbs to lift your stomach, but it doesn't work.
>Well, you don't HAVE to make babies if you love someone... That's more of a choice. And fairies actually CAN have babies, but not in the same way as humans. It's a bit complex and can be dangerous if done wrong, though, so I won't show you right now for your own safety... But my son, Lucien and my daughter, Belgrade were born that way, and they're among the things I cherish most in the world. And Lucien is the first boy fairy ever, too...
Maskdai:
>What are we doing?
Medidai:
>Is Belgrade still with us?
>beat
Medidai-chan:> You are waiting idly in Kourindou.
>Don't beat actually.
>"Oh Medicine, just a moment !"
>"Miss Alice ! I talked to Miss Suika now and she said Miss Marisa went back home a while ago."
Mikodai (T):> "More people can help figure out the problem better, so yes."
>hey, Miss Miko. Miss Alice, Miss Medicine, another me, and my daughter are heading here looking for Miss Marisa. Do you think we should meet up with them? Yes or no?
Dai-chan Prime:> "Yes, it's should be possible." Sanae says.
>"Oh i see, then should we go there now ? Oh, and is it possible that i also get faith somehow in the village process ?"
Sendai-chan:> "Why?" Lucien asks.
>"Oh nothing ! Nothing much dear, i was just talking to myself."
>Smile at him.
>"Your mother is just worried about your other mother Koakuma."
Dai-chan Secunde:> "That's a good idea." Kanako nods.
>"Okay, so will we also have to build a small shrine here to represent the Moriya Shrine ?"
Maskdai-chan:> "No, I don't." Rinnosuke says.
>"Do you have any mask called "Mask of hope" ? One that Miss Koishi might have brought here ? A Satori Youkai ?"
2:> "Well, I don't think she is." Hamiya says.
> "...She's not?"
4:> You create 8 extra arms, disregarding space, and try to lift your stomach up.
> Create as many duplicate sets of arms as we can underneath our current set of arms.
> Once we have all those arms, try holding our belly with all of them and use them and our legs to stand up.
//I had no plans to do so.//Just wanted to make sure, because what I said to the fairies just now could've potentially given you the idea lol.
Maskdai-chan://Well quite some time has passed, and I provided a couple more details as to why we're even asking.
>Don't say that.
2:> "They're already on good enough terms aren't they?" Hamiya asks.
> "Well, she should be! That would make things a lot easier."
4:> You try to apply Meiling magic in such a way, but it does nothing.
> Try using Meiling magic to boost our physical strength, attempting to lift our belly again after applying said magic.
MikoBug (T):> "Where are they coming from?" Miko asks.
> "Okay, let's go find the rest of them, then."
Maskdai-chan:> Rinnosuke shakes his head.
>"Nothing ? Did you not sell it ? Miss Koishi said she took it here."
>Can't we remember anything about this mask from the memories we acquired from that fusion ?
Medidai:> You start to follow Alice again.
>Keep following if we haven't already.
StomachBugs(T):> "Huh..." The fairies sit in wonder.
>Yeah, he's a boy fairy... Well, he's 1/3 devil too... But he's still mostly fairy. You guys can meet him later if you want, once we're done with the whole belly thing...
Sendai-chan :> "Okay." Lucien nods.
>"I kinda wish she didn't try and hide things for my sake and her's, it is easier to solve it talking, but i should leave her at peace for now."
Dai-chan Prime:> Sanae nods.
>"Hmmm, so, shall we get going ? We should tell Miss Nitori the details so she can get ready soon."
Dai-chan Secunde:> "So will you start telling them?" Kanako asks.
>"Good !"
Armydai-chans T:
>"So it looks like you just need to pray for the Moriya Shrine and trust them so they can get their faith and help us back, is everyone okay with it ?"
Probe:
>"Well, is there anything you want to hear?"
Probe:> "What do you have to say?" Micheal shrugs.
>"Well, is there anything you want to hear?"
2:> "I guess..." Hamiya says. "It's not like it can be changed though."
> "Well, yeah, but it'd be easier if the tall purple lady was Miss Sanae's mom because then nobody would be confused."
4:> You create another, longer pair of legs and successfully begin lifting yourself. Though, it's still difficult.
> Mrrr...
> Try creating another pair of legs, starting from our hips and heading to the outside of our current pair of legs until they reach the ground (they might be a little longer than our original pair of legs). If this is successful, try lifting our belly and standing up using all of our arms and legs.
MikoBug (T):> "So where should we wait?" Miko asks.
> "They're on their way here from the glasses man's shop in the forest, actually."
Probe:> "Those are cars." Micheal says. "You don't know what they are? They're everywhere. Well, I guess you fly, so you wouldn't need it..."
>"Well I could talk about other things about the place where I come from... Or fairies in general... or maybe you can tell me a bit about where you come from, like what those weird wagons in the road are..."
2:> "What are you thinking now?"
> "...Maybe..."
X, BellyBugs (T):> "What is?" The fairies ask.
> Oof...this is pretty heavy...
4:
> It's gonna look a bit silly, but create another pair of legs, one leg each behind our original pair of legs, and use them to help stand and balance ourselves.
> How much does our dress cover us?
MikoBug (T):> Miko nods and starts to fly there.
> "They're coming from the forest, so we could probably head toward the forest and meet them halfway."
//Why all that hassle with Dai-chan 4 ? What is the plan ?> "Goodbye." Suwako waves.
Dai-chan Prime:
>"Yes ! We will be back soon Miss Suwako !"
>Follow !
>"Hey onee-chan, what do people that come here to the shrine ask for generally ?"
Sendai-chan:> You do still have the maid outfit in your dresser now.
>Get up.
>"So, why don't we go out and practice with your magic a bit dear ? Then later we can do something else to have fun."
>Do we have any spare clothes for Sumidai-chan ? Maybe the maid outfit ?
Sumidai-chan:
>"Mew."
>Twitch our cat ears a bit.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> They aren't.
>Are they back yet ?
>Anything going on around ?
Dai-chan Secunde:
>"About the prayers and all that ? I just did !"
Maskdai-chan:
>"Um... how about something like a jizo statue ? It looks kinda like one."
>Once there warp Belgrade there too.>We could also just warp Belgrade with us if we have to warp. So we don't leave her behind...
//Ehhhh ? What are you talking about ? Belgrade is with Medidai-chan, so she won't be alone, and we will warp her to the shrine once Maskdai-chan gets there, i never said anything about warping Medicine too.//OOOOOH... You were talking about warping Maskdai... I seriously thought those last commands were for Medidai.
//I don't want 4 to be a useless lump on the floor if that's avoidable.> Hamiya nods.
2:
> Scrunch up our face in thought.
> "I don't know. I've done a lot of things in the last week that shouldn't be possible, you know? But maybe making someone someone else's mom when they're not already might be a bit too much, even for me. I wouldn't even know where to start."
X, BellyBugs (T):> Your belly is just that large.
> I'm trying to stand up. It's pretty hard!
4:
> Are we any taller? Or is our belly just that big?
> Try taking an experimental step forward.
MikoBug:> "Hey, hold on. Wha do I get in return?" Suika asks, prompting Miko to stop.
> Watch with interest.
Dai-chan Prime:> "Prayers for good health or wealth. Or good weather even." Sanae replies.
>"The usual ? What is that ?"
Sendai-chan:> You warp the clothes to SumiDai, and it works successfully.
>Grab it and warp it to Sumidai-chan with some underwear too if needed.
Sumidai-chan:
>Take the clothes and dress up.
>"I dunno, i can move my tail, and twitch my ears, let me try again."
>Swing our tail around and move our cat ears around.
>"Umm... this will sound weird... but can any of you please pet me or something?"
Dai-chan Secunde:> "Good." Kanako takes to the air.
>"They all seemed to agree so i think so."
Armydai-chans T:
>"Anyone has any doubts or questions about it ?"
Medidai-chan:> You are.
>"Oh right, just a minute."
>"Belgrade dear, in a moment i would like to introduce you to Miss Reimu of the Hakurei Shrine."
>We are still headed there right ?
Maskdai-chan:
>Sad face.
>"I see... please tell me if you find anything like that Mister Rinnosuke."
Probe:> "...Gods?" Micheal asks.
>"Well, I've never seen those weird wagons before. We don't have a lot of the stuff from your world... But my Onee-chan's gods and the kappa seem to be bringing some of that stuff in. I mean, just this week I got some cool thingy with moving pictures called a tee-vee and it runs on some thingy called electricity or something."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> It seems to be so.
>"Huh ? Well this is new..."
>So the cooldown before one can move after warping is smaller now ?
Dai-chan Prime:> "Well, weather isn't too hard." Sanae says. "Actually, it's a bit easier now." She turns to Kogasa. "And about the wealth thing. It's not like we make them rich or anything. Hm... I'll leave that up to your imagination."
>"I guess i could help with good health, but i don't think i could help with the wealth and weather part."
Sumidai-chan:> The sound you make sounds similar to a cat, rather than the kitten.
>Lower our cat ears.
>"Nyaaaaaa~ !"
>Smile.
Maskdai-chan:> "Not really." Rinnosuke says.
>"So are there any errands i might do for you now ?"
Sendai-chan:> Lucien nods.
>"So, you wanna try out your magic some more Lucien ?"
Dai-chan Probe:> "So, can they do things like bring people back to life like you can?"
>"Um, sorta, they are like people that get stronger the more other people have faith in them."
2:> Hamiya shrugs.
> "Anyway, what else did you want to do today?"
X, BellyBugs (T):> "Why do you need to walk?" Flora asks.
> I guess I can walk, but it's really hard.
4:
> Practice walking around a bit.
MikoBug (T):> "What did you have in mind?" Miko asks.
> "Oh...I guess I should give them something, huh? Since you did this for me. I dunno what they'd want, though. Maybe they'd wanna come with you in here? I won't do that without your permission, though, of course."
2:> "Oh what?" Hamiya asks.
> "Oh."
X, BellyBugs:> "Where are we going?" Daisy asks.
> Because it would be bad to be stuck in one place.
4:
> While ambling, try removing our top pair of arms from our belly, to see if we can still stay upright.
MikoBug (T):> "Oh. Well... I'll be going now..." Miko turns again, but stops when she sees your other group. "Ah, is that them?"
> "Oh. Well, okay then!"
Dai-chan Prime:> "I would say the same about fusion, but..."
>"Yeah, but it's you onee-chan, you are way better than me on it, so is Kogasa-chan, i still have a lot to learn from you."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You stop the pellet.
>"This is nice ! Maybe it will make it easier to use my spellcard !"
>Smile, dissipate the pellet, then look at them.
>"Oh ! You are back ! So what were you doing ?"
Dai-chan Probe:
>"No sadly, that is why i said they aren't really gods like you think, and i can't bring people back to life either, it is too hard for me."
Probe:> "Oh." Micheal frowns a bit.
>"I mean, I can rewind things back to the point before they died... But that's not the same... And I only do it to things that recently died..."
Sumidai-chan:> You examine the outfit. An outfit for maids at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Given to you by Sakuya. It fits very well. It's blue with a white apron, and comes with a white maid headdress.
>"Oh ! Yea you should."
>Examine our outfit.
>"Hey, does this fit me well ?"
Sendai-chan:> You open the door, and Lucien heads outside.
>"Then let's go outside, your other mother is busy with Miss Patchouli so i can't ask for their help, but i will see what i can do."
>Open the door and beckon him.
Maskdai-chan:> You leave Kourindou and start heading towards the village.
>"Okay, i guess i have to stop by the village to tell Miss Kokoro i haven't found it yet..."
>Bow and leave, heading to the village.
2:> "Oh. Uh... I'll think of something..." Hamiya says.
> "I was hoping to do something you wanted to do today."
X, BellyBugs (T):> "You can do that?" Daisy asks.
> Dunno. I'm just practicing walking right now. I had to grow a bunch of extra arms and legs just to stand up.
4:
> Put our arms back around our belly to help support it again.
> Attempt to hover.
MikoBug (T):> Miko heads towards the group.
> "Yep, that's them!"
Dai-chan Prime:> "What is it?" Sanae stops. "We have time."
>"I dunno, i also have a lot to learn about fusion too.... actually, i have an idea about it now... i will tell you once we go back to the shrine though."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Of course I have." Wriggle says. "I've had spellcards before you did ya know."
>"Oh i see, say Wriggle, did you ever try to make one ?"
Dai-chan Probe:> "But you've done it before, right?"
>"Even if i could it would be forbidden, it would interfere in the cycle of life."
Sendai-chan:> Lucien nods, and holds his hand in front of himself.
>"Okay, try using your magic again, this time, just focus it on your palm, don't fire it yet, we should try to learn more about what kind is it."
Sumidai-chan:
>"Really ? Thanks ! It is my work outfit for the mansion in case they need me."
Probe:
>"Well that was because what died didn't deserve to die so young... The cat died way before her time... but I still can't do stuff like that all the time... Last thing I want is an angry Yama lecturing me again..."
Probe:
>"Well that was because what died didn't deserve to die so young... The cat died way before her time... but I still can't do stuff like that all the time... Last thing I want is an angry Yama lecturing me again..."
>Replace Yama with Judge, so that we don't have to go into too much detail.
Dai-chan Probe:> "Oh." Micheal says.
>"Um, not in the way you think, if someone is dying of old age i cannot stop that, but saving someone from a fatal wound is manageable and okay i guess, as long as they still end up dying later."
Dai-chan Prime:> "Huh... Have you tried anything with it yet? I mean, the purpose of the object might not fuse, right? Just the object's physical self..." Sanae says.
>"Okay then, you know how we have always performed fusions with people, youkai, humans, fairies, all sorts of living things, but what if we tried to fuse inanimate objects together ?"
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "You should try it on Wriggle." Yuuka says.
>"Oh ! Yea, forgot, silly me ehehe ! Well, so um, do we continue from where we left of ? Or do i show you my spellcard now ? It isn't much in my opinion, but for a first one it seems decent."
Sendai-chan:> Lucien shrugs.
>"Hmm, how does it feel ? Does it feel like Water or Fire ? Or maybe Wind ? Maybe a mix of all of those ?"
Sumidai-chan:> You follow the two back to the room, and Sumireko follows you.
>Follow too i guess ?
//Who's with Alice right now? Can one of you lot wrangle her in?> "Ehehe." Hamiya laughs a bit.
2:
> Smile.
> "I know you will!"
X, BellyBugs (T):> "Yea. When are we gonna get more space than this? This is boring." Flora says.
> Yep! And since I'm inside all of you, I can do it for all of you as well. Uh, when there's more space, of course.
4:
> Stop trying to fly.
> Look around our house. Are there any chores that need doing?
MikoBug (T):> "Seems she's really in a hurry..." Miko starts to follow Alice to the front of the shrine.
> Frown.
> "Wow! That was kinda rude, Miss Alice."
X, BellyBugs (T):> You grow your belly slightly to try and give more space.
> Oh, sorry. I'll try to grow a little more.
4:
> Grow our belly a little bit more to give our passengers more space.
MikoBug (T):> Miko continues to fly.
> "Maybe if you tell Miss Alice that you're also looking for Miss Marisa?"
X, BellyBugs (T):> You grow your belly more.
> Um, I think the village won't be ready for a while. I'll keep trying to give you all more space. Or maybe I can get some more of your friends in heere for you to talk to?
4:
> Grow our belly some more.
MikoBug (T):> "We haven't tried to talk to Reimu about it specifically yet though..." Miko says.
> "Yeah, maybe we can just save Miss Reimu the hassle of going through all this again."
X, BellyBugs (T):> You continue.
> I'd have to make a lot more space for more people, though, so it would balance out.
4:
> Keep on growing our belly.
MikoBug (T):> Miko continues to listen.
> "Oh, I guess that's true."
X, BellyBugs (T):> "It's already really tight." Flora says.
> So, Emily, Daisy, Sakura, are there any of your friends back in the army that you'd like to bring along to keep you company in here?
4:
> Continue growing our belly. Keep the growing up through all X/BellyBug/host dialogue.
MikoBug (T):> "I don't think it'll be something like that Daiyousei." Miko says.
> "What?! Miss Alice better not hurt herself!"
X, BellyBugs (T):> "I thought we were supposed to be staying in the village, not here." Sakura says.
> Maybe it is now, but I can always make it bigger.
MikoBug (T):
> Beat.
X, BellyBugs (T):> "Can she leave now?" Emily Clover asks.
> You're here to keep Flora company until she can leave. And yeah, you'll be staying in the village once it's ready.
Probe:> "Interesting how? Your world seems more interesting."
>"So are there any more interesting things about your world, Mr. Micheal?"
Medidai:> You don't see Belgrade around.
>Is Belgrade still with us?
>Is she in view of Miss Miko?
Sendai:
>Report
Sendai-chan:> You are with Lucien.
>"Nothing ? Huh... Then try to slowly let it flow into the air, see what it does."
Sumiflan 2:> You are asleep.
>Are we still in that vent?
Secunde, Army:> The fairies are talking amongst each other about the goddess.
>How are the fairies faring?
Prime:
>What's going on?
//"Until she can leave" ? Kilga that just sounds like you are keeping her in a jailcell, you really should stop with that.> You separate the spellcard's energy from you and have it appear.
Dai-chan Prime:
>"Well.... my spellcard isn't really made of magic, but i could warp it's energy inside me for storage purposes."
>Separate the spellcard energy from us and make it appear on our hand.
>"So maybe more could happen, i mean, kogasa is alive because of how her umbrella gathered up magic right ?"
X, BellyBugs (T):> "Oh yea..." Flora says.
> She shouldn't yet, there are still people here. I don't want to force her to appear in front of people without any clothes on. And my son is still here too, and I'm not gonna make him see a naked person at his age! That's just wrong!
MikoBug (T):> "Are you sure this is the right time for that? She seems worried, as I've said before." Miko says.
> "Hey, as long as we're waiting, maybe you can introduce yourself to Miss Alice."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> "Y-Yea." Wriggle nods, getting space.
>"Oh ! I bet it will be fun Wriggle, although the last pattern that i have to test is still a problem..."
>Frown a bit.
>"So ? You ready ?"
Medidai-chan:
>Pet Cute Belgrade.
Medidai (T):
>U-UHHHH.... WHERE'S BELGRADE!?!
>Look around frantically, is she in the distance?
>NONONONONONONONONONO! NOT AGAIN! I CAN'T LOSE HER AGAIN! NONONONONO!
MikoBug (T):> Miko nods, heading over to Alice.
> "She's worried about Miss Marisa. I bet if you told her you wanted to help, though, it'd go over okay."
Army:> Some are wondering what they'd want for the promised stuff, while others are trying to think of how to worship the goddess.
>What do they seem to be saying?
Probe:> "Those are skyscrapers and street lights. We have buses and trains and airplanes and boats as well. The last two aid us in travel through the air and across the sea, respectively."
>"Well your world is as interesting to me as my world is interesting to you. I mean, you have those car thingies, we just have wooden carts and wagons and stuffs. And you also have the laser shooters in the walls. And those really, really tall buildings, and those strange red and green lights in the streets...."
//Jeez, and I thought I had a short attention span. <_<> "There's nothing to do in here though." Sakura says. "We can't play danmaku or um... or anything."
X, BellyBugs (T):
> Yeah, sorry. But like I said, if any of you have some friends back in the army that you want to join you in here and keep you company, let me know, and I'll bring them here and make room for them with all of you.
//Well don't blame me ! I have my hands full already ! Now let us find our daughter !> You create flan clones and start searching the area. She was with you on the way here...
Medidai-chan:
>Make some Flan Clones and have them search around if we get no clues on where she is.
Sendai-chan:> You approach the magic. It feels a bit warm.
>"Huh..."
>Carefully approach the magic, does it feel hot ?
Dai-chan Prime:> Sanae shrugs.
>"Well, but since we are intentionally doing it instead of letting nature do it over the time like how it happened to Kogasa-chan, then maybe right ?"
>Fidget a bit.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You get into positon far from WrigDai.
>"So do you wanna just focus on dodging my spellcard, or do you want to fire back too ?"
>Take our place too, and remember that this is a Horizontal plane only battle.
Sumidai-chan:
>"Hey, um, Miss Maribel, can i ask something ?"
Sumidai-chan:> "Kinda depends on the question..." Maribel says.
>"Hey, um, Miss Maribel, can i ask something ?"
Medidai (T):
>"MISS MEDICINE! MISS MEDICINE!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU SAW WHERE BELGRADE WENT!!"
>Resist urge to hyperventilate.
Medidai:
>remember to listen to Medicine's thoughts at all times
> Retroactively have MediDai move Medicine's body to look around for Belgrade (instead of Miko's), since it was MediDai that inputted the command.
Medidai-chan T:> "Belgrade?" Medicine looks around. "Uh uh." She shakes her head. I thought she was with us a second ago...
>"M-Medicine ! Did you see where did Belgrade go ? She isn't here anymore !"
Medidai-clones:
>Keep searching, have one of us go to the last place we saw her.
Search Party:> You finish up searching the Hakurei Shrine and start fanning out a search from the shrine back towards Kourindou, calling her name.
>using the other Dais' point of view, warp to a clear spot in front of the Hakurei shrine.
>Spread out in a wide angle with the direction of the kourindou in the center and start moving so that we have a wide search radius where each Dai can see her two neighboring dais at the edge of her vision.
>look and call for Belgrade as we move.
Probe:> "Trains are like cars, but they follow a track that takes them to a specific place. It's much quicker travel than car, at least, for far distances." Micheal says. "And airplanes start from the ground and fly through the air to travel even further than trains go."
>"trains? Air plains?"
>Tilt our head.
Prime:> You create a group of Koa clones and multiply it with Flan clones of their own.
>look distressed.
>using the usual process create five Koa clones, have them all make flan clones. Name this group of 20 the Search Party.
Mikodai-chan T:> "A green haired doll?" Miko looks over to Alice's dolls. "No, I don't think I have."
>"Miss Miko ! Did you see a small green-haired doll around here ?!?"
MikoBug (T):> "Do you think Marisa is alright?"
> "Poor Miss Alice..."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> Wriggle nods.
>"Okay, if you think you really can't take it anymore please tell me, i will start out slowly."
>Prepare, materialize our spellcard from the thoughtscape and declare it.
>Commence working on the familiars and make a note when we have 6 of them ready.
X, BellyBugs (T):> "Aww. How come we can't do that?" Daisy asks.
> You can always chat with each other about stuff. It sounds like the rest of the army is trying to decide what they want for the stuff the goddess promised, and others are trying to think of how to worship her.
Sumidai-chan:> "Who?" Sumireko asks.
>"Umm... if the person you love tells you to not worry about them, but you can see that something is troubling them, should i let them be ? Koa seems to be going through something, but she won't tell me what..."
Dai-chan Prime:> Sanae nods.
>"So should we get going again to Miss Nitori's place ?"
>If so follow !
Medidai (T):
>No... No... Not again... How could I lose her again... W-What kind of mother am I...
>Start losing faith in our ability to look after things...
Medidai-chan T:> Reimu returns with a tray and a few cups of tea on it. She sets it down next to the steps and picks up one for herself.
>"This is bad... where did she go ? I told her to not split up from us... i should have been more careful, i am her mother for god's sake !"
Daiyousei Collective:> The Fairies of Light are not. You don't think you've shown them Belgrade yet. You do recall them having clones though.
>Are the Fairies of Light still in Prime? If not, mark them as suspects. They were plotting something. Did they ever meet Belgrade? Maybe if they didn't they could've found out about her somehow... If so, did we give them clones?
>If they do have clones, immediately check what they're doing.
>Mark Koishi as a possible suspect. She did steal a mask before, and she does go into bouts of the "Old self" she could've definitely seen a doll and kidnapped her.
>Do we have any other enemies/misguided friends? If so mark them as suspects as well.
Prime:> You create another group and flan clone extension and have them warp to the Hakurei Shrine.
>Keep looking distressed.
>Create another wave of 5 Koa clones using the same process.
>Have them make Flan Clones and warp to the Hakurei shrine using the others' POV.
>Name this set of 20 "Search Party 2"
Search Party 2:
>Fan out like search party one, head towards Alice and Marisa's houses this time.
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You warp the finished 6 familiars close to Wriggle and have them explode, taking WrigDai by surprise.
>Warp them to surround Wriggle close but not too close, then explode them.
>Immediately start working on 8 more familiars.
Dai-chan Prime:> "It doesn't sound like nothing. If you need help, we're here too." Sanae says.
>"Uh, nothing ! I just need some help with one of my tasks."
>Smile a bit nervously.
Mikodai-chan T:> "Maybe we should focus on this instead of Alice and Marisa?" Miko proposes.
>"I see... oh no Belgrade, were did you go.... ?"
Sendai-chan:> You gently touch the magic, and it feels warm and... Strange. The texture isn't easy to describe.
>Try touching it gently.
Sumidai-chan:> "Honesty is almost always the best." Maribel says. "But, if the truth will hurt them, you have to be gentle with your honesty."
>"Koa is my lover, like Cirno-chan, she is a devil from Makai that works that the Mansion, she is one on the best things that happened in my life."
>Smile and nod.
>"I guess, maybe i should just be fully honest to her..."
Maskdai-chan:> You are in the Human Village. As usual, there's humans around here.
>Report ?
Medidai (T):> Medicine jumps a bit.
>THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR TEA!! MY DAUGHTER'S MISSING AND I WAS RIGHT HERE NEXT TO HER!
>Sniffle in thoughtscape.
>...I-I'VE FAILED AS A PARENT....
Dai-chan Prime:
>"I...I..."
Prime:> You create another Koa clone and have her warp to Reimu's shrine to start to the underground.
>Create one more koa clone with the same method.
>Send "KoiDai" towards the underground entrance. Use the nearest Dai to warp closer if we can.
>Look utterly dejected.
>"...Belgrade's gone missing again... ...how could I let this happen twice in three days... And I was right next to her this time.... Like she was right there and now I can't find her...."
>Start tearing up,
>"D... Do I even deserve to be a mother...? Can.... Can I even trust myself to look after things anymore?"
Maskdai:> You do not.
>Do we see Belgrade or anyone carrying her?
Probe:> You should be able to warp where she was last. And if you're right, she shouldn't have moved in her sleep.
>"Huh, sounds interesting."
>Are we able to warp Sumiflan2 in her sleep?
>If so:
>>"Can you excuse me for one second?"
>>Hold out our hands and warp the still-cloaked Sumiflan 2 so that she gently lands in them.
>>Carry her over to the bed and tuck her in.
>>Go back to Micheal
>>"The other clone of me in this building fell asleep after doing nothing for so long, so I just wanted to give her a more comfy place than that musty air vent... She's cloaked because she doesn't have clothes..."
Dai-chan Yuuka:> You wait for WrigDai to finish dodging.
>Stand by and wait for Wriggle to finish dodging.
Sendai-chan:> "Okay." Lucien says a bit enthusiastically.
>"Lucien.... this magic of yours, i have never seen anything like it, we should show it to Miss Patchouli or some experienced magician soon, they might be able to tell us what it is."
Mikodai-chan T:
>"You will help me ?!? Thank you Miss Miko ! I just can't believe i lost my daughter from sight again, i am a horrible mother..."
MikoBug (T):> "I believe in Marisa too." Miko nods. "And you aren't horrible. These things might happen."
> "I'm sure she is! Miss Marisa is always all right."
Sumidai-chan:> "What's that gotta do with her?" Sumireko asks.
>Nod again.
>"It's just that she refrained from telling me all of it, she just said that it's something to make her feel better... maybe i really should stop making clones..."
X, BellyBugs (T):> "Is it fun?" Daisy asks.
> You can do those things as well, if you want. Oh! I can get your friends to show and tell you about it if they come in here.
X, BellyBugs (T):> "The goddess stuff." Daisy says.
> Is what fun? And I'm not sure about your dress, Flora. Lemme go check. Even if it is dry, though, it still would be a bad idea for you to come out without clothes on while my son is around.
4:> You get to Flora's dress. It's dry now. A tad bit damp but it's not like you were actively drying it.
> Trundle over to where Flora's dress is and inspect it for wetness.
Probe:> "No..." Micheal says. "Getting one would probably have been a good idea. But then again, we weren't really sure if you were a cat person or something else..."
>There's no bed? Then what the hell did we wake up on when we first arrived here!?!
>"Well she can change size like I do... But I'd have to wake her up briefly.... Uh... Wasn't there a bed in here before? I swear I woke up on one..."
Mikodai (T):> "Take it easy Daiyousei. Retrace your steps and ask around. Try to think; Where would you go if you were her?" Miko says.
>B-But losing her twice in 3 days? What kind of mother does that... Especially when the second time happened when I was right next to her...
Prime:> "...Ah! I got it. I got the perfect solution to finding her easily." Sanae says. "Since Belgrade is a doll, we can ask Nazrin to find it, and she'll be able to."
>"YES IT IS! The first time I was asleep and she wandered off, the second time she was RIGHT NEXT TO ME and I lost her..."
>Tear up some more.
>"I-I've failed as a parent!"
Prime:> You create a multitude of Koa clones, then have all of them make Flan clones, taking over Gensokyo in search of Belgrade.
>Create as many Koa Clones as possible.
>have them make flan clones
>Have our legion march across Gensokyo and raze it until we find Belgrade.
