Niji-chan:

>"We just need to work a toooon then, you can fluff them all too."

Daiko-kun:

>"...i feel another soul inside me..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Huh?"
>Try to look around and feel for that newcomer within the mind-room we have.

> You try to look and feel for your unwanted visitor.
> You can only see Tsuru, who is lying down in one bed.

Daiko-kun:

>"...i feel another soul inside me..."

> "What?" Yuugi asks.
> "Can you see him?" Sakura questions.

Niji-chan:

>"We just need to work a toooon then, you can fluff them all too."

> "But... there's also the thing that they might be scattered at all Gensokyo, because yea, there was a lot of sheeps back there, but never a thousand."
> "Nuuuh..." Marry looks down. "My frieeends..."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"No... i can just feel it, i can't say if it's a he or a she, it seems like it's trying to hide..."
>Look confused.
>"I thought evil spirits would try to outright possess you, and not hide."

Niji-chan:

>Pet Kokoro-chan.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Feel for how much Soul it has.

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Have we finished the tea?

[Tashi]

//When the electricity in your house goes out in the middle of a post...

Daiko-kun:

>"No... i can just feel it, i can't say if it's a he or a she, it seems like it's trying to hide..."
>Look confused.
>"I thought evil spirits would try to outright possess you, and not hide."

> "I thought so..." Yuugi thinks. She frowns afterwards. "Is it stronger?"

Daiko:

>Feel for how much Soul it has.

> It has... as much energy as Tsuru. It's definitely different from the usual spirits.

Niji-chan:

>Pet Kokoro-chan.

> You pet Kokoro.
> "This is going to take some time to accomplish... but we will help you, Marry-chan." Byakuren nods.
> "Y-You will?"
> "Yeah! We will help too!" Sunny pumps her fist to the sky.

Kiku:

>Have we finished the tea?

> You finished it. You are currently going to the Mistress room to deliver the tea to Remilia... and alone.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Alright, we can't screw this up now. Keep going. Make sure our tail's not messing up our skirt.

Daiko:

>"Hey? Spirit? Can you hear me?"

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Alright, we can't screw this up now. Keep going. Make sure our tail's not messing up our skirt.

> You keep going to your inevitable destiny the mistress room.
> You think you can see the door of her room... this, however, it's opened a bit.

Daiko:

>"Hey? Spirit? Can you hear me?"

> No one answers. You don't know why, but you feel a bit that someone's mocking you...
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Stop at the door. Don't peek.
>"Excuse me? Mistress? May I come in?"

Daiko:

>Try harder to feel for where that energy is.

Tsuru:

>"Anyone?"

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Stop at the door. Don't peek.
>"Excuse me? Mistress? May I come in?"

> You hear some sounds inside.
> "Yes, you may." Remilia replies from inside.

Daiko:

>Try harder to feel for where that energy is.

Tsuru:

>"Anyone?"

> You focus even more to locate the energy of this soul.
> You can feel it, all over the place, as if he or she's here.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Open the door more with our foot/tail if our hand isn't free.

Daiko:

>Focus on expelling the spirit from us.

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Open the door more with our foot/tail if our hand isn't free.

> You use your tail to open the door slowly.
> Remilia stands up from her door.
> "What is it?" She asks.

Daiko:

>Focus on expelling the spirit from us.

> You try to expel the spirit, but something prevents you to.
> "You think it's going to be that easy?"
> It's a male voice.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"I tried making tea..."

Daiko:

>"Now you speak?"

Tsuru:

>"Oh. It's a guy for once."

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"I tried making tea..."

> Remilia adopts a confused face.
> "So?"

Daiko:

>"Now you speak?"

Tsuru:

>"Oh. It's a guy for once."

> He laughs.
> "I find it quite ironical that a mere human-... Oh, excuse me... A HYBRID can manipulate souls like this."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"How so?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"How so?"

> "Because there was only three people I know that were able to do that..."
> Something manifests behind you.
> "... Me, myself and I."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Turn and examine the person.

Tsuru:

>"Huh?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Turn and examine the person.

Tsuru:

>"Huh?"

> You turn to face the intruder.
> He has short white hair. His eyes are green. He's wearing a large black trench coat, and it's opened to see his gray shirt that has below the coat.
> He doesn't have legs, but instead a ghost tail.
> "... Heh." He grins. "Daikoku Susumu and Tsuru Shinju, isn't it?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Yes. And you are?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Yes. And you are?"

> "Oh, I'm already dead... Why my name cares? It's not like you need to know it, anyways."
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Shift a bit.
>Weren't we going to just have Sakuya try it or something as a test.

Daiko:

>"It'd be interesting to know the person who could do this before me..."

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Shift a bit.
>Weren't we going to just have Sakuya try it or something as a test.

> She never specified if she was going to test the flavor of your tea. It seems this is more like a high test... for Remilia.
> "Anyway." Remilia opens the door a bit more and she steps aside.

Daiko:

>"It'd be interesting to know the person who could do this before me..."

> "I couldn't care less about it." He starts to wander the place.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku;

>"Hm?"

Tsuru:

>Keep watch on him.

Daiko:

>Look around outside. What have others been doing, if anything?

[Tashi]

Kiku;

>"Hm?"

> "Come." Remilia goes to a table and sits down in a chair near it.

Tsuru:

>Keep watch on him.

Daiko:

>Look around outside. What have others been doing, if anything?

> You keep an eye on the visitor.
> He looks at you. "Oh, no need to worry about me. I'm not going to do anything bad... that, of course, if any of you don't try anything suspicious about me."

> Sakura and the others are luring the souls to the cage.
> Yuugi is waiting for your answer.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Blink.
>"Huh, what?"
>"So. What are you joining the ride for?"

Kiku:

>"Y-Yes."
>Nod and head to the table.

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"Well, uh... how do we know we can trust you ? Granted you didn't try to possess us outright, but..."

Nijis:

>Report.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Blink.
>"Huh, what?"
>"So. What are you joining the ride for?"

> Yuugi frowns. "Hey, I'm serious. Is a stronger soul or not?"
> "Joining? Oh, no. I'm just using you to hide myself from those who are searching for me." He looks away with a grin. "I don't care what you guys do whatsoever. You just better keep your mouth closed about me or my gentleness will be for nothing."

Tsuru:

>"Well, uh... how do we know we can trust you ? Granted you didn't try to possess us outright, but..."

> "I don't want your trust."

Kiku:

>"Y-Yes."
>Nod and head to the table.

> You approach.
> Remilia raises a hand to you, as if she's offering it. "Serve the tea."

Nijis:

>Report.

> The three fairies, Golden, White, and Kokoro are talking about the current sheeps that Marry have in the corral.
> "So..." Marry starts. "What are the things you remember, Niji-chan?"
> _

//I think I'll sit aside for a bit while you do things, Raf... Any actions I take now would probably be hazardous

Spoiler:

, as I greatly despise blackmail

.

Kiku:

>Nod and start to serve the tea.

[Neovereign]

//Edit

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Nod and start to serve the tea.

> You start to calmly serve the tea.
> Remilia waits warmly.
