[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ?"
>Pick it up.

Daiko-kun:

>"Let's go investigate then ?"
>If she agrees, fly with her downstairs to search for the shouting people.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ?"
>Pick it up.

> You crouch to take the object.
> It's a necklace of a golden key. When you touch it, a warm feeling goes through your body.

Daiko-kun:

>"Let's go investigate then ?"
>If she agrees, fly with her downstairs to search for the shouting people.

> Kokoro nods.
> You and her fly to the stairs.
> You can see two figures at the end of the stairs. One appears to have wings, while the other might have a... some kind of scythe?
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Approach them and wave.
>"Hello there, are you looking for someone ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh."
>Try wearing it.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Approach them and wave.
>"Hello there, are you looking for someone ?"

> You approach and greet them.
> The pair jump a bit. They are two girls.
> The one with the vampire-like wings has an umbrella too.
> In effect, the other girl has a scythe.
> "Uhm... We're... ah... uh..." The bat girl stutters.
> "Let me talk this one. Yes, we are searching for someone since so long..." The scythe girl says...
> Silence...
> "But we can't find heeer!!" The two shout, tears hanging of both eyes of the girls.

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh."
>Try wearing it.

> You wear it.
> Some kind of energy flow through your body. You don't know exactly what it is.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Eh ?"
>Try examining ourselves, and examining the necklace more closely.

Daiko-kun:

>"Whoa whoa, please calm down, i'm Daikoku and this is Kokoro-chan, nice to meet you."
>Bow.
>"...so you are searching for this Yuuka person right ? Mind describing to us how she looks like ?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Eh ?"
>Try examining ourselves, and examining the necklace more closely.

> You examine your body. Nothing seems to have changed in the exterior.
> The necklace, when you try to examine it more closely, it gives you a strange unsetling feeling. The necklace doesn't seem to have anything more to see aside the key.

Daiko-kun:

>"Whoa whoa, please calm down, i'm Daikoku and this is Kokoro-chan, nice to meet you."
>Bow.
>"...so you are searching for this Yuuka person right ? Mind describing to us how she looks like ?"

> The two calm down. The scythe girl gets straight.
> "Sorry for that. It's just... she is a great person for us, like a big sister." She says. "My name is Elly."
> "I am Kurumi!" The other says. "Describe her? Well... She has a beautiful green hair! Hmm... Her blood-like color in her eyes are menacing! Like she's gonna eviscerate you in any moment! She is sooo incredible and powerful!" Kurumi beams.
> "She always carries a umbrella..." Elly sighs. "Have you seen her? PLEASE say yes..."
> "Hmm..." Kokoro is thinking.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I see... wait..."
>Brighten up.
>"I saw someone just like her yesterday, the umbrella, the green hair, the oppressive sense of dread in the air, she was headed to the Hakurei Shrine, cmon, let's talk with the shrine maiden."
>Beckon them and head back up with Kokoro-chan.

Kiku-chan:

>Can we recall anything we ever found that needed a key but that we couldn't find one for ?

[Neovereign]

>Try to imagine where Yuuka(?) might be now.

[Tashi]

>Try to imagine where Yuuka(?) might be now.

> With the little description the duo gave you, you try to imagine this Yuuka person in a place where you might find her.
> It doesn't seem you are doing it right. Nothing happens.

Daiko-kun:

>"I see... wait..."
>Brighten up.
>"I saw someone just like her yesterday, the umbrella, the green hair, the oppressive sense of dread in the air, she was headed to the Hakurei Shrine, cmon, let's talk with the shrine maiden."
>Beckon them and head back up with Kokoro-chan.

> You are going to climb the stairs, but Kokoro stops you.
> "Reimu isn't there." Kokoro says.
> "...Shrine Maiden...? Reimu...?" Elly questions.
> "... Hakurei Shrine...?" Kurumi questions.
> Both Kurumi and Elly eyes widen. "EEEHH??!!"

Kiku-chan:

>Can we recall anything we ever found that needed a key but that we couldn't find one for ?

> The only thing you recall having a key hole it's the box where you were trapped. It doesn't make sense though, because it was already opened.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Uh.... yeah, last time i saw her she went to her shrine, what is the matter ?"
>Help Kiku-chan out on our mind.

Kiku-chan:

>Try imagining that box again, but a golden one this time, it it doesn't work, make it the purple one again.

[Neovereign]

>Is there nothing but the key around?

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Uh.... yeah, last time i saw her she went to her shrine, what is the matter ?"
>Help Kiku-chan out on our mind.

> You appear in your mind, next to Kiku.
> "Y-Yuuka... went to where Reimu LIVES?!" Kurumi is surprised.
> "M-Maybe she went there to beat Reimu... That's payback of what she did back then! Yeah! That must be!" Elly reasures energetically.
> "Yeah! Yuuka is the best! And she is here, in this place! Yaaaay!" Kurumi jumps, happy.

Kiku-chan:

>Try imagining that box again, but a golden one this time, it it doesn't work, make it the purple one again.

> You imagine a gold box.
> Just like how you wanted, a golden box is near your feet.

>Is there nothing but the key around?

> Only the golden box you wanted.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Open it with our key !

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Open it !

> You try to open the golden box.
> Just as you thought, you might need to use the key, so you do so.
> A 'click' sound is manifested when you open it. The top of the box slowly opens up...
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Lift it and look inside !

Daiko-kun:

>"But.... where are they ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"But.... where are they ?"

> "Please, give us any information regarding that umbrella lady you saw, aside from this one!" Elly pleads.
> "Pleeease! Guide us! To everywhere you saw her! Double pleeease!" Kurumi pleads even more.

Kiku-chan:

>Lift it and look inside !

> When you lift it, a light ball slowly starts to float, stoping right in front of your face.
> Said light ball has a cat tail, cat ears, and even has four whiskers.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Mind: "Kiku-chan, is that a... neko ball of light?"
>"I only saw her near the village yesterday... Kokoro-chan, do you know where she usually is?"

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Yeah..."
>Touch the ball carefully.
>"What are you... ?"

[Tashi]

>Mind: "Kiku-chan, is that a... neko ball of light?"
>"I only saw her near the village yesterday... Kokoro-chan, do you know where she usually is?"

> "... I think I usually see her near the human village..." She replies.
> "Guide us, please!" Elly says.
> "Okay..." Kokoro starts to fly in the direction of the human village.
> Kurumi and Elly follows her.

Kiku-chan:

>"Yeah..."
>Touch the ball carefully.
>"What are you... ?"

> You touch the ball with a finger. It feels smooth.
> The neko ball floats to the chest of your female self, trying to fit in your... cleavage.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"H-Hey ! Don't be so hasty !"
>Are they even big enough to have it fit ?
>Bring it away from us and hold it on our hand.

Daiko-kun:

>Follow them too !
>Try to imagine where Reimu would be on our mind.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
>Follow Kokoro.
>Mind:"Hey, wait a sec! What're you trying with Kiku-chan!?"

[Monarda]

//Edit.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"H-Hey ! Don't be so hasty !"
>Are they even big enough to have it fit ?
>Bring it away from us and hold it on our hand.

> They aren't that big... but the little cat ball can fit in it.
> You grab it, pushing him away a bit.
> The ball doesn't struggle.

Daiko:
>Mind:"Hey, wait a sec! What're you trying with Kiku-chan!?"

> The ears of the ball twitch a bit.

Daiko:
>Follow Kokoro.

Daiko-kun:

>Follow them too !
>Try to imagine where Reimu would be on our mind.

> You follow Kokoro.
> You try to make the image of Reimu being in any place you know.
> You don't feel anything.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"So what are you little thing ?"
>Try seeing if we can do the same thing that turns us into a cat, but reverse for the ball.

[Neovereign]

>Mind:"Hold on Kiku-chan, maybe we should let it go and see what it does."

[Monarda]

>"Okay..."
>Let go of the small ball and let it do what it wants to do.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"So what are you little thing ?"
>Try seeing if we can do the same thing that turns us into a cat, but reverse for the ball.

>Mind:"Hold on Kiku-chan, maybe we should let it go and see what it does."

>"Okay..."
>Let go of the small ball and let it do what it wants to do.

> You let go the light ball.
> After a few seconds of looking at your male self, then at your female self, this ball thing resumes what she was doing before you grabbed her/him.
> It tries to fit in your cleavage in a dumb way. After trying with no success, it stops. The ears of the ball are down, like it's sad.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Mind: "Huh... Can we communicate another way if you can't talk? Ears up for yes, ears down for no."

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>It's so adorable...

[Tashi]

>Mind: "Huh... Can we communicate another way if you can't talk? Ears up for yes, ears down for no."

> The ball turns to your male self. The tail of the ball it's moving happily.

Kiku-chan:

>It's so adorable...

> The tail moves faster.
