Tsuru:
>Get on with it.
Niji Blue:
>So ?
Daiko:
>"Can I proceed?"
Kiku:
>"Uh, you wouldn't have any I could borrow, would you?"
Arisa:
>Wait, what
Daiko:
>"...Bear with it for now Mysti... I'll be back in a bit."
>Hold her hand if we can.
>Focus on our soul and enter the spirit realm.
Daiko:
>"I'll find who's doing this for you Mysti. Then I'll try my thing..."
>Head towards the door and try to note any flames of people.
Kiku:
>Carefully check around the room for it. Maybe it's still in here at least...
Arisa:
>Slap her.
>"Baka."
Niji White:
>Hold Marry.
>"The sheep ! We gotta find a way to take them too !"
Niji White:
>"Just go ! We gotta take them through some other portal anyways !"
>Follow Marry.
Arisa:
>Pout.
>"I'm just a kid !"
Daiko:
>Brush it off and look for the assailant, then go back to the door.
Daiko:
>Look around for who did that! Keep eyes out for souls too!
Kiku-chan:
>"Well, that solves one issue."
>Take it !
Daiko:
>We really don't notice any soul flames?
>"Alright. Quit it already!?"
Daiko:
>"...What... Do... You... Want!?"
Kiku:
>"Me neither..."
>Dress.
Niji Blue:
>"Okay everyone, i need you to hold your breath and braven up !"
Nijipiece:
>How is the Lampad, Orange and Elfin ?
Niji Scarlet:
>Go to the hallway.
>"MISS SAKUYA !!!"
Arisa:
>"What do you mean ?"
Kiku-chan:
>"Well we don't even know how long has it been..."
Daiko:
>"Someone keeps slapping me... I'm getting it worse than just having to hear knocking... And I still don't know what's going on."
>Can Mystia hear us from here, or is it our body speaking to her while our mind is away?
Daiko:
>"Could you please stop this and come out? Whoever you are?"
Daiko:
>"I'll give you a gift."
Niji Blue:
>"Once you are ready, go through and swim to the surface !"
>How are the fairies carrying Orange faring ?
Niji Scarlet:
>Keep calling, while going around.
Niji-chan:
>Pet Yuudachi.
Arisa:
>"Huh ? Hey, tell me !"
>Shake her.
Arisa:
>"Am i not a kid ? What am i ?"
Niji Scarlet:
>We need to find her...
Niji Blue:
>Approach the carrying fairies.
>"Okay, you will need to work hard to get her through, since she is asleep, kay ? I will see if i can get a friend to help us out on the other side."
Daiko:
>"Well... slap me once if you are a spirit, don't slap me if you are not one."
Daiko:
>Grab towards where we're getting slapped from!
Kiku:
>"I-I hope none!"
Tsuru:
>"Ah, Miss Remilia, i apologize for my disturbance, i was just heading to the library to return this book that Patchouli lent me."
>Bow.
>"You do not look well, is something wrong ?"
Arisa:
>"Yeah but how old ?"
Niji Blue:
>"Okay, take another deep breath..."
>Help them out.
>"...now hold it, and go when you are ready."
>Help them carry it through, and prepare to take Orange to the surface then do it !
Daiko:
>Withdrawal back to our body and exit the spirit realm.
Kiku:
>"That makes me seem perverted or really forgetful..."
Niji Blue:
>Swim ! Use both swimming and flight propulsion to get everyone to the surface ! Especially Orange !
Tsuru:
>"Miss Sakuya let me stay in order to study some books, she warned me that i still needed your consent though, so i was hoping to run into you to ask for such."
>Look at the book.
>"...also, i needed to return the book, can't just take it back home after all."
Arisa:
>"Uh... under 10 years ?"
Daiko:
>"I really have almost no safe plans anymore... I don't even want to alter myself right now either."
>Pout.
Kiku:
>Recall the events and who we were with up til now. Stopping at our last change of clothes.
Tsuru:
>Nod and follow.
Basty:
>How are we ?
Niji Blue:
>Go go go !
Nijipiece:
>Look at Elfin, how is she ?
Daiko:
>Check our visions for anything.
>"Feels like we just have to..."
Kiku:
>Recall people we know that might've done something like this...
Basty:
>"Meow.... !"
>Get up !
>"Sakura-sama ! The lake !"
Nijipiece:
>Nod and help her.
>"Do your best."
>Take her through and go to shore !
Tsuru:
>"Is Patchouli awake at this time ?"
Daiko:
>"We can't just leave the stand alone, and it's also pouring, so yea..."
>Are we still holding Mystia's hand?
Tsuru:
>"There is something i need to tell Patchouli about this book though, i would like to see if she is still awake and able."
>Nod.
>"It's very important."
Basty:
>"They're back !"
Niji Blue:
>Go go go.
Nijipiece:
>Keep going !
Daiko:
>Sigh.
>"...It'll be midnight soon. My valuables went missing... There's another soul from me whom I didn't get to meet... I have to go meet up with him soon... and I don't really know if Niji and the others are alright..."
Kiku:
>"Well... Where were we?"
Daiko:
>"If they're even back..."
>Try to Ikovision the Nijis that went to the other world.
Basty:
>"I just feel it in my bones and fur and tail."
>Nod.
Niji Blue and Nijipiece:
>Are we ?
>If so, nod.
Niji Blue:
>"How about Orange ?"
>Look for her.
Niji Scarlet:
>Stop calling and go back to our room.
Tsuru:
>"A friend of Daiko's, and a magician too.
Niji Blue:
>"Good... we dunno her state though, we aren't sure if she is back to her old self fully."
>Pant.
>"Could we keep an eye on her please while she sleeps ?"
Nijipiece:
>Where is the lampad ? What about Elfin ?
>Where is Lily and Orange's baton ?
Tsuru:
>"And i was also one that helped out with the missing children affair."
Basty:
>"Aaaaaaaayee~..."
V!Niji:
>"Daiko?"
V!Daiko:
>"Niji? Are you back alright?"
V!Niji:
>"Yeah, the explorers are fine. Sakuya was waiting for them!"
Daiko:
>"...I think they're back Mysti..."
V!Daiko:
>"Are you guys at the lake?
>Envision the lake if so.
Niji-chan:
>What ? Why ?
Niji White:
>What happened ?
Tsuru:
>"In short, i am an ally."
Daiko:
>"I think they might be..."
Niji Blue:
>"Sakuya ! Something happened on the Fairy World, the mes that stayed there suddenly were kicked out."
Niji White and Nijisa:
>What is the last thing we recall ?
Tsuru:
>"Hey, relax, it's not like i'm gonna jump at you with a knife."
Daiko:
>"I don't want to leave your stand alone, and they say Sakuya was waiting for them."
Daiko:
>"Uh, whoever you are, could you please show yourself? No knocking, no... slapping..."
Niji Yellow:
>Become light and rush back home to find Basty.
Niji Blue:
>"Marry's herd of sheeps were still there, and we needed to get them out, but now... we dunno what happened, they just... poof, stopped existing and their energies returned."
Tsuru:
>"Well... i'm just a magician, i entertain the crowd."
Niji:
>If Nijisa returned to our bracelet...
>Make sure our bracelet isn't about to explode again.
Daiko:
>"Please?"
Daiko:
>"If I could, I'd take on all of the bothering if it meant you could sleep peacefully Mystia."
Tsuru:
>"Oh."
>Give it to her.
>"The book gave me a message by the way, literally."
Niji Blue:
>"I dunno... i'm worried about Marry and the sheeps..."
Kiku-chan:
>Wag.
Niji Blue:
>Nod.
>"Elfin said that world was sorta... breaking up, cracks between this one and that one kept appearing..."
>Look at Elfin.
>"Elfin-chan, what happened ?"
Nijipiece:
>"Miss Sakuya, where is Miss Meiling ?"
Kiku-chan:
>Wag wag wag.
Tsuru:
>Nod.
>"That she did."
Daiko:
>"That's better. Smile."
Nijipiece:
>"Daw..."
>Smile.
>"So nice of you... oh !"
>Look for the lampad and show her to Sakuya.
>"Could you please help her out, she doesn't even know how to talk."
Niji Blue:
>"Not even you know... ugu..."
Tsuru:
>Nod.
>"Okay, lemme see if i can get this right."
>Stand near Remilia, then prepare our cloak to make an vanishing act that takes us back to our room.
>Once ready, do it !
Niji-chan:
>So ?
Daiko:
>"Has anyone else ever had to sleep over here?"
Daiko:
>"Hm..."
>Examine the new box in our mind more.
Tsuru:
>"Just an 'blink' spell, so that we would get there quicker."
Niji Blue:
>"...huh ?"
>Look around.
Niji-chan:
>"If you are bored go work on that thing you were working on with Nijisa."
Nijipiece:
>"I want to find a good home for her."
>Pet Lampad.
Niji Blue:
>"Sakura-sama !"
>Tackle hug.
>"We did it, we brought Orange back ! We don't need to deliver the letter anymore !"
Nijipiece:
>Point to Sakuya.
>"She is Sakuya, she is a nice lady, she is also cute and cool too."
Tsuru:
>"If you say so."
>Nod.
Daiko:
>...Another one?
Daiko:
>Focus on it and try to determine where it's coming from!
Daiko:
>Is there a person with this box, or no?
>Look around. Anything boxy?
>"Another box..."
Daiko:
>Set the current box down and start looking around for the new one.
Niji Blue:
>"Nah... i'm glad too, Sakuya put her on Meiling's room to sleep together."
Niji Blue:
>"You know Elfin Sakura-sama ?"
Daiko:
>Check under places.
>Check on top of the house.>Check Mystia. Maybe she's hiding it from us!
Daiko:
>Failing those, go inside and look around.
Niji Blue:
>"They managed to get her, we dunno what they dis to her though... Orange's case was also odd, at onr moment we had her still corrupted, then she was unconscious and apparently free from it lyig on the ground..."
Daiko:
>Imagine the house as a plain field. Or just an empty space, so that just the boxes are around. It can't hide if there's nowhere to hide behind!
Niji Blue:
>"Yeah ! You will love it !"
Daiko:
>What happened exactly?
Daiko:
>Check the boxes.
Daiko:
>Check it then.
Daiko:
>Reach inside the box.
Niji Blue:
>"Can we handle so many fairies though ?"
Daiko:
>Open the inner box.
Daiko:
>Try to pull it out then.
Kiku:
>How are we?
Niji Blue:
>"Hehehe..."
Nijipiece:
>"So you can teach her right ?"
Niji Blue:
>"Clowny ?"
>Look around.
Nijipiece:
>"If she wants."
Niji Yellow:
>Enter !
Niji Blue:
>"Miss Sakuya, where is Clowny ? She was the first to cross the portal..."
Daiko:
>Open the box...
Daiko:
>Examine around in here.
>Examine around out here in the stand. Don't get up though.
Niji Blue:
>"... ! Please ! Take me to her Miss Sakuya !"
Niji Blue:
>"Then please take me outside !"
Niji Blue:
>"Ahhhh ! Bakabakabaka !"
>Become light and dash towards the Hakurei Shrine.
Nijipiece:
>"Lily, the baton thingy."
Daiko:
>"It's... empty."
Nijipiece:
>"Don't forget to leave it here."
Niji Yellow:
>Poke Cute Cat Girl.
Daiko:
>"It's getting annoying..."
Nijipiece:
>"Don't give it to her just yet, because that thing could still have something bad in it."
Niji Yellow:
>"Basty-chan, could you grant Blue's wish of knowing where Clowny is ?"
Basty:
>Can we ?
Daiko:
>Examine the box and tell Mystia how it looks.
Daiko:
>"I don't get it... But if it's open, hopefully that means no one's trapped there. Maybe I should get to... try to get to sleep to prepare for early morning..."
Basty:
>Pout.
>"Noo... Oniru is being a strict mom and blocking my ability... meanie..."
Daiko:
>"If you wake before me, could you wake me up too?"
Daiko:
>Nod and close our eyes, trying to get to sleep.
Basty:
>"Yeah but looks like it's important for Niji-chan."
>Pout.
Niji Yellow:
>"Yeah ! And Marry also went missing too ! We dunno what happened to her... so i also wished to know if she was alright..."
Daiko:
>Wonder who could've been in those boxes...
Tsuru:
>How did the box we escape from look like ?
Daiko:
>Which ?
// Bonks the parser.
Tsuru:
>How was it inside then ?
//Thanks to me, Daiko gets his well deserved rest~
Kiku:
>How's it hangin?
Kiku-chan:
>Poke poke.
Niji Yellow:
>First we go with Marry, i wish to know if she is alright.
Basty:
>How will granting that affect us ?
Niji Blue:
>Anything ?
Kiku:
>"Thanks again."
Niji Blue:
>Do it anyways.
Basty:
>"Awwww..."
Basty:
>"Huh... then why can't i do it ? Well..."
>How about granting the wish of knowing where Clownpiece is ?
Niji Blue:
>Wait while looking around.
Niji Blue:
>"H-Have you seen Clowny around ? She just disappeared..."
Niji Yellow:
>"I wish to know where Clownpiece is too..."
Basty:
>So ?
Kiku-chan:
>Huggy !
Kiku:
>"Now that I think about it, that is really pervy..."
Niji Blue:
>"Because this is where i found her and that Hecatia person."
Basty:
>"Seems alright..."
>Grant it.
Nijipiece:
>Nod.
>"Yeah, but last time one of the Nijis saw it, it was flying around shooting black danmaku, and that stuff is horrible..."
Basty and Niji Yellow:
>"...'somewhere' ? That isn't very helpful..."
>Frown.
>Is there nothing else ?
Niji Blue:
>"Ahhhh... do you have any ideas about where she would go ?"
Niji Blue:
>"No... i know that she is somewhere in Gensokyo."
Basty and Niji Yellow:
>Pout.
>"We got rused !"
Niji Blue:
>"...you are cute you know Miss Reimu ?"
Basty:
>So some generic location ? But we have tons of those here."
Kiku:
>"So what now?"
Kiku:
>"I'll stay."
>> If we know about getting Daiko to contact us...: "If I can, I'll try to get in contact Daiko and see if He's heard from the Niji's yet. Hopefully he's not asleep..."
>>Otherwise: "But yea, I'm worried too..."
Tsuru:
>How are we?
Tsuru:
>Check out those books then.
Niji Blue:
>Nod.
>"Now i go ! Bye Cute Shrine Maiden Reimu !"
>Depart to.... some generic place to look for Clowny !
Basty:
>"Well, this should be all... although i wonder why i couldn't grant the one about Marry... what happened to her i wonder..."
Tsuru:
>Actually, if we're quiet, we could practice our magic a bit...
Tsuru:
>Try some of it out then.
Others:
>How are we?
Basty:
>"Hey Orinu."
>Mentally poke her.
Basty:
>"Wanna tackle the library ?"
Kiku-chan:
>"Huh ?"
Nijipiece:
>"Ehehehe..."
>Hm... since we are part Clowny, where would we go if we were her ?
Tsuru:
>Well, what kind of magic do we know?
Tsuru:
>Let's try somethings.
>Try to levitate something within the room.
Tsusu:Isn't that a cute nickname?
>What else is generally described as magic... Perhaps fortune telling, and by extension, predicting the future... Maybe that's an attempt for another time.
>Hypnosis is magic! Note to try it out on someone later. Not something large, just something they wouldn't normally do.>Call upon Appraisal-san to identify the book!
Tsuru:
>Try making a light source. It'd be useful in some cases...
Tsuru:
>Try to remember other things... Sit down if it helps.
Tsuru:
>What about fire magic ?
Basty:
>"Research."
Tsuru:
>...then how do we even regain it ?
Basty:
>"Geez, you are acting like my mom."
Tsuru:
>Let's hang around that so called genius Daiko for a bit later then. Maybe he has a way for us to regenerate some magic on our own.
Basty:
>"...uh... did you just pinch me ?"
>Look behind us.
Tsuru:
>Look at the window.
Tsuru:
>Open the curtains.
Basty:
>"Meanie !"
>Think about pinching her too.
Tsuru:
>"Wha... why are you here ?"
>Look confused.
Basty:
>Do it !
>"Yeah but why would you do that ?!"
Basty:
>"But i never said that... i mean, i'm surprised you even worry about me... i mean, we just met some time ago..."
Kiraku:
>Wait paciently.
Tsuru:
>Open the window.
Tsuru:
>Sigh and open the window.
//It really was Kira tho.
Tsuru:
>Look unamused.
>"What is it ?"
Kiku-chan:
>So ?
Basty:
>"Sorta..."
//Oh, didn't read that action.
Tsuru:
>"What's with the gentlemanly act?"
Tsuru:
>"And why are you here showing them just now?"
Tsuru:
>"Excuse me."
>Back up and stay alert. Is he intending to take our body?
Tsuru:
>"And what is?"
Tsuru:
>"I thought you had a meeting with Daiko ?"
Basty:
>"...really ? But... how ? I mean... you must have met someone before me..."
Tsuru:
>"You mean my magic?"
Tsuru:
>"No, I just didn't expect it."
>Examine ourself.
>"...Seriously?"
Tsuru:
>"Yes you did, sorta."
>Sigh.
>"Why me of all people ?"
>As in what we have on.
Tsuru:
>"It's Daikoku. And what do you expect to accomplish by coming here at a time like this? You're free, aren't you? Don't you have someone you loved while you were alive or something?"
Basty:
>"Why didn't you ?"
Tsuru:
>"Uh huh..."
Tsuru:
>"I am not one for love at first sight, if it even is love and not just some objection you put on yourself."
>Frown.
Tsuru:
>"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since you might not be the worst person, but you can't just say your past doesn't matter anymore..."
Basty:
>"Why ?"
Tsuru:
>"Don't try anything funny..."
Tsuru:
>Make our way over and sit down on the bed.
>"How'd you even find me?"
Tsuru:
>"Details?"
Tsuru:
>Hold our hands up for a moment.
>"Alright. Letting go of it."
Tsuru:
>"Nothing much has happened. Aside from you intruding of course."
Tsuru:
>"I hope you don't plan on spending the night here. The room's mine for the night and I don't intend on getting in trouble for you being here."
Tsuru:
>I don't intend on getting in trouble for you being here. It's not my problem if you get in trouble and it's not related to me."
Tsuru:
>"Interesting to note you still feel pain as a spirit..."
Tsuru:
>"Care to tell what do you feel then? It's not everyday you get to talk with a spirit."
Tsuru:
>"So you're not actually into me then, huh?"
Tsuru:
>"So it's one of those things you have to experience to believe..."
Tsuru:
>"Well, not believe, but understand better, I guess."
Tsuru:
>Look over at him in question.
Tsuru:
>"...Doesn't ring a bell. I do remember you hoping for me to suffer a cruel death though. During the time you couldn't keep your language positive."
>Levitate the book back over to us and start reading.
Tsuru:
>"Huh ?"
>Get up and look for Kira.
Basty:
>Poke her harder.
Tsuru:
>Go to the window.
>"Kira, what are you planning now ?"
Basty:
>"We read about dreams."
Tsuru:
>"...Kira ? This isn't an joke is it ?"
>Look around.
>Check ourselves, both physically and mentally.
Basty:
>"To save the Dream World."
Tsuru:
>The gloves ? Why ? Is there anything special about them ?"
Basty:
>"Why can't it be like Gensokyo anyways ?"
Tsuru:
>Yeah, Kira kissed the gloves too... bastard must have taken them, geez, why is he so into me ?
Tsuru:
>Consider if any of that actually happened...
Basty:
>"A world that can exist due to a little bit of effort from everyone rather than a huge effort from only one person."
Tsuru:
>Maybe it's time to just get to sleep before anything else is taken...
>Status of All?
Tsuru:
>Check the window one last time.
Basty:
>"Or so you think..."
Tsuru:
>Close the window.
Tsuru:
>Check the room for anything out of place.
>>If all is well, get in bed.
Basty:
>"You baku are weird."
Basty:
>Think about hugging Oniru.
Basty:
>"Does not stop me from hugging you."
>Pat her.
Tsuru:
>Hope those at least stay...
Basty:
>Go there !
>"Uwah !"
Basty:
>"We are losing time !"
Tsuru:
>Relax.
Niji Scarlet:
>Rest !
Kiku-chan:
>Poke.
Nijipiece:
>Pet.
Kiku-chan:
>Huuuuuug !
Daiyousei:
>"Ehehe..."
Kiku-chan:
> <3
Kiku:
>"I'm glad you're both okay. Did things go as planned?"
Kiku:
>"Like what?"
Kiku:
>"U...uh huh..."
>_
Kiku:
>"Oh. Right."
>Get off of them.
Kiku:
>"The storm didn't make things worse for you, did it?"
Kiku-chan:
>"Why did she stay ?"
Basty:
>Find a book about Dreams.
Nijipiece:
>Check up on Alice and Co. Too.
Nijipiece:
>Go there physically lazy !
Nijipiece:
>"ALICE'S !"
Niji Yellow:
>Flop.
Kiku:
>"Will they be alright?"
Niji Blue:
>Where are we?
>Get under some sort of cover if we aren't already.
Bastet:
>What did we learn?
Niji Yellow:
>Who's here?
>What time is it?
Nijipiece:
>Wake Niji up.
Kiku:
>Continue following.
Tsuru:
>Have we fallen into the grasp of sleep yet? Or do we have a temporary case of insomnia?
Kiku:
>"In the other world?"
Kiku-chan:
>Frown.
>"I see... what do you wanna do about her ?"
Nijipiece:
>Pet Yuudachi.
>Poke Marisa.
>Is it still nighttime, and storming as well?
Nijipiece:
>Poke Marisa again.
>"C'mon, you gotta wake up!"
Nijipiece:
>If all else fails, shoot an small simple laser up her arse, courtesy of Nijisa.
Kiku-chan:
>...nod.
>"Daiko did his part, so did Niji-chan, now it's my turn to do my share."
Niji Blue:
>Hug the tree willfully.
Kiku:
>"Possessed? I hope it's not another case like Daiyousei's..."
Kiku:
>"Oh..."
Kiku-chan:
>"Ah... it's that..."
Niji Blue:
>Hm... is there really nothing around ? What about caves ?
Nijipiece:
>"As requested by Nijisa, there we go."
Kiku-chan:
>"Why didn't you ask for Tsuru's help too ? She is around here right ?"
Niji Blue:
>Poke poke.
Nijipiece:
>"Because all of you fell asleep."
Nijipiece:
>"And i couldn't just wake that adorable pile of cuteness there either."
Kiku-chan:
>"I can assure you she is trustworthy, after all, she also worked on saving Orange."
>Nod.
Niji Blue:
>Poke ourselves.
Niji iji blue, where are you!?
Niji Blue:
>Where are we?
Niji Blue:
>"Yea... B-But I'm looking for someone close."
Niji Blue:
>"W-Who are you ?"
>Look scared, back off and look for the voice, we need to know where to not run first !
Nijipiece:
>Point to the real pile of cuteness.
Kiku-chan:
>"Hm..."
Kiku-chan:
>"Oh, uhhh, yeah, sure."
Niji Blue:
>"Ekkk !"
>Turn around and go back to Mr. Tree.
Nijipiece:
>"Shhhhhhhhhhh."
Niji Blue:
>Take some breaths, go back to the tree we hit, away from Mr. Tree.
>"Think of Yuudachi... W-What do you want ?"
Kiku-chan:
>Nod.
>"If something happens we can ask Niji for more details too."
Nijipiece:
>Pick up cute doll.
>"Heeeeeey !"
Nijipiece:
>Pet.
Niji Blue:
>Stop.
>"Y-Yeah... but how ? You don't even let me see you..."
Kiku-chan:
>Follow.
Niji Blue:
>"NO !"
>Fly away from there ! Anywhere but there !
>"You are scary ! Stop being creepy !"
Niji Blue:
>Make sure not to blink. That's closing our eyes!
Nijipiece:
>"Yeah it's just...."
>...okay, things go serious there on Blue, quick ! Another wake up laser on Niji Prime !
Kiku-chan:
>More silently.
>"Shall i keep guard here until morning ?"
Kiku-chan:
>"What will the ritual do exactly ?"
Niji:
>Boot up.
Niji Blue:
>"Who was she ? Was she also some evil spirit ?"
Nijipiece:
>"It's important, she needs to bail Blue outta there."
Kiku-chan:
>"I see...
Niji Blue:
>Stay aware.
Niji:
>Recall Blue.
Niji:
>Blue ! Don't give up just yet, okay, just keep going to Youkai Mountain, i will meet you there !
>Depart to Youkai Mountain.
Niji Blue:
>We can't give up, it's either this or letting that creepy woman get us.
>Do our best to get to the mountain.
Kiku-chan:
>"Well... here goes..."
Kiku-chan:
>"Chief Maid, may i attempt to solve this more swiftly so that everyone benefits ?"
Kiku-chan:
>Step up.
>"Miss Meiling is simply prone to sleeping on duty after a while, it is a fact Chief Maid and i know well, hence the right course of action is to just give her something to either keep her busy, because let's be honest, standing still in front of a gate doing nothing other than looking around is very monotone, or to give her something to make her simply unable to sleep for that period."
>Poke Meiling.
>"Besides, after today's events, i am rather sure that Meiling's life will change a great deal."
Kiku-chan:
>Pat Meiling with a smile.
>"...yep, that is Orange, your old friend."
Kiku-chan:
>"Some dark energy had taken over her, it changed her, when Niji found her, she was just a shade of the real Orange, that was serving someone even more corrupted by that energy blindly, but from what it seems she somehow broke free, or at least partially."
Kiku-chan:
>Nod.
>"If things go badly, my ability should trigger."
Kiku-chan:
>"I've been able to control it better than before, and Sakuya-sama can attest that while i do go rather wild, i don't truly harbor the desire to harm anyone for real."
>"Go ahead."
>"I'm glad we managed to find her, Sakura-sama was already losing hope..."
>Pat Meiling.
>Wait and see.
>"Which is ?"
>"Um... i'm Kiku, but my past name seemed to be Kuro, i'm an Nekomata and i uh... work here."
>Tilt our head.
>"I mean, that's all i need to do right ?"
>Do we know of our specifics? Measurements, blood type, etc.
>"Ehm ? I mean... will it need my measurements ? Cause other than that... oh wait, i'm not an Nekomata, i just have one tail, i'm a bakeneko then ? Other than that i just know that i was created artificially and that i am tied to a bunch of other people from many races that were created similarly."
Kiku:
>Geez, what a stupid ceremony. It couldn't have been more convenient for us?
>"Well how am i even supposed to carry this on myself ? That's Tsuru's territory, i am just an bakeneko created on the outside world that was taken here by god knows what, and that sonehow ended up inside Daikoku, i am no mage, i am no witch, i am just an maid with an ability that can grant me absurd capabilities based on my instincts and feelings, if it wants to identify something, identify my damned blood."
>Frown.
>Sigh and approach the tome, then take position.
>"Alright Mister Picky Tome, what now ? Surely you don't expect me to become some arcane prodigy and resume from where Miss Knowledge stopped without some sort intervention."
>"Agh !"
>Endure, what the heck is that ?
>"Then...what do I have to do to help out? Just... keep this up?"
>"Because i certainly.... am not gonna give up..."
>"Find the way with vines ? Like what ? Entangling her ?"
>Try to think of the vines doing so, don't constrict of course, just entangle.
>"Why are you reading my mind again ? Is this some sort of test ?"
>Try again normally, but harder.
>We don't need Anger, anger would make Koa sad, and making Koa sad is the last thing we wanna do, we can get irritated, but even this stupid book must have some logic behind it's desires, so let's just get irritated by how poorly it chose to do things, like WHY NOW out of all moments ?
Kiku:
>"Just...irritated..."
Kiku-chan:
>"Well... it IS annoying, no doubt about it... but i DO NOT want to give up, Sakura-sama counts on us, we promised to help her find Orange so that we wouldn't have to give Meiling a letter and leave Orange as some presumed dead person ! If i give up now, how do i even hope to find Daiko's mom ?!"
>"I have done it before already, when i had to bring Daiko to make Flan's cake, it was what let me bring him back so quickly..."
>Okay... for Sakura-sama... focus on our feelings of hope about finally making Sakura-sama's promise a truth, do it for our family !
>"Certainly more than what i had the first time."
>Well use that dislike too ! We can't admit failure !
>Think of a Mini-Koa on our shoulder cheering for us !
>Well how can we think of that stuff with some magician peeping into our mind ?
>Now think about an tired and fatigued Niji, we can't let all of her work go undone !
>Think about failing to complete this. Then losing Orange. Then being kicked out of the mansion for it... And getting further away from Daiyousei and Koa and Cirno. And having an accident that hurts Daiko or one of the family.
>Think about terrible things like that that could happen if we don't get a hold of our latent power.
>"Problems exist to be dealt with."
>Resume with our initial thoughts of entangling Orange, beware though, do not constrict her.
>We look different huh ? Do we notice any of that ?
>Command the book's magic to Inform us of what happened to Orange.
>Well, first order it to analyze her, and to make sure it does not hurt her or else....
>Then we have it report it's findings.
>"Relax..."
>Poke Oniru's tail.
>"I meant relax as in don't worry about disturbing, having you around is a merry thing."
>Smile.
>"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaiii !"
>Go meet up with her.
>"Eh ? But Sakura-sama is nice."
>"Uhm, Oniru said she feels uneasy about you..."
>"She said it's only sometimes, i think she means when you get all real and stuff and stop being air-headed."
>"Well yeah, i mean, remember what happened between you and Daiko-kun ? That's when you get real and serious."
>Cmon Oniru... why do you feel that about her ? I mean, she isn't a murderer or an sadist or something...
>"Ehm... that day remember ? At night with Marisa-chan."
>So even baku still can't understand their subconsciousness.
>Fairies came in to stay with us.
>"Well sometimes grandmas take things too seriously or not seriously enough."
>Pout.
>"And that's why we shouldn't give you sake for now."
>"Don't lie, if you ever got drunk, i bet you would pick up a fight with a tree."
>"Reading..."
>Poke Poke.
>"Cool stuff."
>"Dream Stuff."
>"Uhm..."
>Do we know that even ?
>"...Oniru, help."
>"With remembering."
>"I dunno... just dig through what i have on my mind ? Like this Valentine Name."
>"At least try to find anything about this Valentine person, the rest you don't need to look into."
>Uhm... Oniru, please stop, i'm feeling ill...
>Poke.
>"Yeah... nothing..."
>Sigh.
>"Well... does the age even matter though ?"
>"Not really, cause that's more than the amount of years after Christ and.... wait, Orange is okay ?"
>Tilt our head.
>Nod nod nod.
>"Niji did it !"
>What about Christ ?
>Christ... Valentine... Christ = God. "In God We Trust" is an important statement in the US. The US has a president. But what does that even have to do with Valentine you say? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsVgXCMIYec)
>"Yea. A welcome back party or something."
>... ? Yes Oniru ?
>"...Sakura-sama... something's wrong with the air..."
>Look around, do we notice it ?
>"Yeah... Oniru feels it too, something is wrong with this storm..."
>"Something is wrong Sakura-sama... we gotta figure it out."
>"No... but how do YOU feel cold ? You are part yuki-onna, that shouldn't be going on."
>Look around again.
>Oniru, can you feel anything else ?
>"We gotta check on the others."
>"Let's go then!"
>"S-She should be with the mints ! Why did she come here ?"
>"O-Okay, we need to find the others ! And something to heat her up."
>"...eh ?"
>Scan.
>Follow.
>"Sakura-sama... what about the others ?"
>Follow.
>"Got it."
>Get to checking! And try to be quiet about it.
>Well, let's begin with the door in front of us.
>Oniru ? What do you think ?
>Go with Oniru's pick !
>Pick the third door.
>What if we don't pick any and instead follow Sakura-sama ?
>Daw... well...
>JUST OPEN ALL DOORS QUICK ! But silently. :3
*Slams Tashi*
>Go for Oniru's.
>Third from Left to right.
>You heard that right ?
>Keep an eye on the ground, check the hallway's ground too, then close the door while we are in.
>Investigate smol footsteps.
>Follow it !
>Close the door.
>Continue the sneaking and the following.
>To the kitchen then.
>What does the kitchen look like?
>Sniff out the enemy !
>What's in front of us? Just a wall?
>No time for Ice Cream ! Time for hunting !
>Start with the closest drawer and move down the line.
>Can you tell where it is?
>Continue searching.
>Off to the living room then!
>Follow that sound with our heightened senses !
>"Oh my gosh it's a tiny animal version of Sakura!"
>Tilt our head.
>"...friend ? No hurt ?"
>Okay ! Attempt an tackle fluff !
>Can we tell where the needles are going to poke us?
>Jump off to the siiiide!~
>Chase it !
>"Sakuraaaaa-saaaaama ! Watch out !"
>Keep giving chase !
>"Hey ! Don't you dare mess with Sakura-sama's stuff !"
>Okay ! Get into the bed carefully, and track that fluffy thing with out senses ! Once done, try to sorta encage it with our limbs and then wrap it into the sheets with care.
>Briefly ponder if it would accept a peace offering...
>What's Sakura's favourite food?
>"Please, if you stop i promise i will ask Daiko-kun to cook an real tasty meal, like beef or mutton ! So please just don't mess around and hurt anyone... pretty please... meow ?"
>Sakura wouldn't willingly hurt us like that...
>Perhaps, but this is a pretty serious situation. Would Sakura really pull a prank on us?
>Well, I suppose now's not the time to ask those questions.
>Peek over Rachael to see the creature.
>Okay... slowly, gently... catch the creature with our hand through the sheets while it rubs itself on Rachy.
>Oniru, help.
>Yeah i noticed that, i wanna know how to get it out though..."
>"Shh!"
>Motion our hands as if they'd help.
>Is the door still open ?
>Gently close the door then.
>Well, sooner or later it has to come out right ?
>If we wait for it, it could end up hurting Rachael...
>Hmm... Let's ask Sakura-sama then. Maybe she knows something about that ball of cuteness, like why does it look like her.
>But we can't just leave it here alone... mmm... lure it out with what ?
>Which food ? Plus we can't just leave it here and go to the kitchen.
>Keep an eye on the fluffy ball.
>...pet Bulge ?
>So, maybe we should get in somewhere it can't run.
>Why not just uncover it and gently pick it up ?
>Make an gesture to be quiet and approach her.
>"Sakura-sama, there is some weird fluffy animal with Rachael, it had this ice horn too like you, it's the source of the mist."
>Tilt our head
>"Fou?"
>Make sure to whisper that.
>"Eh?"
>"Sakura-sama..."
>Tilt our head.
>"Who is that cute adorable animal ? Why have we never seen him before ?"
>"Um... Why has it... Fou, only come up now? And uh, is it a he or a she?"
>Do we remember the name or appearance from Daiko's memories?
>"...So uh... Fou... Represents you? Shouldn't a mascot be more well known? Or at least, known at all?"
>Status of others.
>Pet Fou.
>"Yeah... but it's so cute... we just started it the wrong way, besides he wasn't mean to Rachael."
>Try to pet again.
>Don't try to pet it again. We were just against it earlier... It probably won't like us instantly...
>"And Daiko has an ice horn too, if that helps at all. No one has hated Daiko yet either, right? You can't expect it to hate everyone. Give it a chance."
>"So... Fou is an rude jerk to anyone that is not you or Rachael then ? What IS it even ? And why was it filling the place with mist ?"
>"Daiko cleaned his room and his act up though, so maybe it's different now."
>Pout too.
>"Hey ! What do you expect me to say after it deliberatedly tried to harm me with ice spikes ?! Or caused a mess in the kitchen ? I told it i meant no harm but it gave me no ears !"
>Turn away too.
>"It hates me for no reason, so why am i wrong ?"
>"I know it's not evil, but i just wanted to be it's friend... but it refused every time, it ran away or something every time..."
>"It doesn't have to be so mean..."
>Pout more.
>"Well, that problem is solved now..."
>"I hope there isn't..."
>Look away.
>"Elfin was hurt..."
>Look back towards Sakura.
>"You can't tell me you'd brush off someone being in pain like that."
>"The mist hurt Elfin. If Fou knows it hurt her and isn't sorry, then it is a jerk."
>"When Elfin gets better, you should apologize. Or... if you can't talk, at least show that you didn't mean to hurt her."
>Look upset.
>Maybe.
>"If she's alright..."
>"Although i have to ask... why did it make the mist in the first place ? I mean, we weren't with it when it got foggy, and i don't believe it did it out of sheer whim."
>Approach carefully.
>"Fou, pleeeeease, pretty please ? Super duper please ?"
>Nod nod and follow.
>"Although... how long has Fou been inside the house ?"
>"...Yuudachi ?"
>Light poke.
>Stare at the moon too.
>"You see something over there ? Or is it just the moon's beauty ?"
>Pat her very gently.
>"You okay ? Are you tired honey ?"
>Gently pick her up and lie her down on our hands.
>Sing and/or hum to her a song (https://youtu.be/Jv-zWg0q39Q), so she can fall asleep safely.
>Caress her too in the meanwhile.
>Lie her on our lap, and keep staring at the moon.
>Get up.
>Groan.
>Get up tiredly.
>"Ugh..."
>...Crap! What time of day is it? Look around for a possible answer.
>Unfortunate that we couldn't sleep better...
>Look for Mystia if she's in the same room. Hopefully she slept better.
>>If she isn't in the same room or is and is awake: "Misty?"
>Seems like she's sleeping well then. Maybe we did take all the bothering for ourselves.
>Gather ourself and carefully head out of the stand, keeping noise at a minimum.
>>If all goes well, start for the outskirts...
>Get up and look around.
>"Eeeeek ! W-Who are y-you ?!"
>Fidget fidget.
>"How do you know me? A-And why'd you break my door..."
>Are we proper enough to go outside right now, given we just woke up?
>>If not, cover with the blanket.
>"I'd like some privacy..."
>We probably could, but there's no telling what that guy would do to our house in revenge for leaving...
>Start changing into something proper. Make sure we have eyes on the doorway, but do turn our body away from it some...
>Drape the blanket over our stuffs. Nobody wants to take just a blanket after all.
> Fly out carefully...
>"Why am I coming with you? And to where?"
>"A notice?"
>Start following.
Daiyousei:
>"Wait, someone was waiting for us?"
Daiko:
>Determine who the two are and call out their names appropriately to greet them if they are familiar.
Daiyousei:
>"I know, but I didn't think that you already went to get... Daiko?"
Daiko:
>"...Wait, why's she here?"
Both:
>"What is this notice even about ?"
Daiko:
>"Uh.... yeah, i can see such."
Daiyousei:
>"Possible Puppe- wait, what!?"
Daiko:
>"E-Excuse me?"
Daiyousei:
>"...I-I didn't think that was..."
Daiko:
>"So she can do all of this too..."
Daiyousei:
>"Maybe it was just a fluke or something else."
Daiko:
>"So...Did you bring her to test that, or... Really, why are we here anyways?"
Daiyousei:
>"................ehh ?"
Daiko:
>"Uh...Well, it'd let me help others more... Especially if more end up in me... Daiyousei, have you had any boxes in you, by the way?"
Daiyousei:
>"I'm not sure."
Both:
>"But why ?"
Dai:
>"I mean, why the subit interest in passing on this ability ?"
OG Dai:
>"Yeah, why are you so willing ?"
//Who came first ? :3
Both:
>"And we suppose we can't refuse ?"
Both:
>Sigh.
>"What now then ?"
Daiko:
>"Well... Let's get this... session, started and over with. We have lives you know."
Daiko:
>"Right. I'm planning on getting better to eventually not rely on this again..."DaiyouseiKochiya[/s]
Daiyousei:
>"I can get Cirno out on my own if she's in me by accident with this then, right?"
Daiko:
>Stare at the white gloves.
>"Hang on... these white gloves look awfully familiar..."
Daiyousei:
>"Uh, just one question though, is it possible to remotely control an spirit ?"
Daiyousei:
>"Wonder if that's what happened to that kid spirit..."
Daiko:
>"Oi, Kira, where did you get that white glove ?"
Daiko:
>"Because you seem to conviently have a pair of artifacts perfect for this ability. Did you make them yourself?"
Daiko:
>"Not only that they also feel very familiar."
Daiko:
>...examine the white gloves again... then compare them to Tsuru's gloves, do they match ?
Daiko:
>"Did Tsuru have any hand on this ?"
Daiko:
>"Well she also happens to use gloves, white ones too, and she is also an magician that we know can craft magical artifacts, it's very easy to assume such."
Daiko:
>"We never expected you to teach us either."
Both:
>"And here we are."
Daiko:
>"May we know why the people you listed before; Toyosatomimi no Miko, Soga no Tojiko, Mononobe no Futo, Seiga Kaku and Byakuren Hijiri are on a list we shouldn't mention you to?"
Daiko:
>"I'm gonna end up encountering them sooner or later and I want to know if this ability is going to be something that they'll think of me differently for possessing."
Daiko:
>"Not to mention one of the others can tell them you are hanging around anytime..."
Daiko:
>"Why'd I even bother trying to ask you..." Sigh. "I've got to get going anyways."
Daiyousei:
>"Well... what now ?"
>Indeed, what now ?
Daiyousei:
>Consider if we should get back home or try and learn more about this. Preferably with Daiko as he has experience and helped us before.
Daiko:
>Sneaking out of Mystia's stand was okay, but sneaking back into it would probably raise suspicion. If we're going back to her, we'll be waiting outside.
>Try to Ikovision Mystia.
Daiyousei:
>Poke ghost guy.
>"Now uh, what about my door ?"
Daiko:
>Expected. At least the storm is over. Maybe we should head home instead and vision Mystia when we get the chance.
>Start towards our home.
Daiko:
>"Don't miss me too much now Kira."
>Continue.
Daiyousei:
>"Y-You broke it though."
>Look upset.
>"I just wanted to rest peacefully..."
Daiyousei:
>"You can't just dump your problems on other people."
>He really seems like a terrible person. Well, bad personality... he did help Daiko help us... He's not hurting anyone either...
Daiko:
>Sigh.
>"I guess it's for the better..."
Daiyousei:
>"Please don't..."
Daiyousei:
>Pout.
>"Meanie !"
Daiko:
>"Enough with the bullying Kira. You're acting like a kid."
Daiko:
>"What is it?"
Daiyousei:
>"If that means a new door, i'm in."
Daiko:
>"I wouldn't put it past you to steal someone's door for her..."
//I don't really trust Kirara here...
Daiko:
>"...."
>Sigh.
Daiyousei:
>"Y-You're still the one that b-broke it!"
>Is it maybe intact enough to try and keep on. ...Maybe?
Daiyousei:
>"You're so meaaaan!"
