Parsee Quest (Part 3)

[日巫子]

> "Whoa, wait, you're just going to leave without giving her a proper goodbye?"
> When Nazrin displays her inevitable confusion, put an arm around her shoulder conspiratorially. "You know, at a place like this, that Shou girl's got to be a catch. I bet that cloud's girl and the purple-brown lady are trying to get their claws right in her, you hear me?"
> Influence jealousy in Nazrin about those harpies being with Shou!
> "Now, the proper way to let them (and Shou, for that matter) that you mean business, you gotta 'say' goodbye, kinda like I did to Yuugi when we left her place." Slight blush at that.

> Oh ho ho.
> You ask Nazrin if she's really going to leave without saying goodbye to her.
> Nazrin is understandably confused.  "Wh-wh-wha--"
> As you furthur explain to Nazrin the dangers of the cloud's girl and the youchrist gradient-haired lady getting their hands on Shou, her tail swishes back and forth in confusion.
> "I-uh, well, that's--"
> And then you inflict jealousy on her.  You blush when you remember saying goodbye to Yuugi.
> Nazrin gulps.  "Iiii, well, um, I l-like her, but t-the way y-y-you put iit..." she whispers, her cheeks flushing red.  "Uuuhhh..."  She puts her hands to her face, then breaks away from your hold and walks over to Shou.
> "Oh?  What is it, Nazrin?  Your face is all red," Shou says.  Nazrin mutters something.
> Shou starts to ask something, but Nazrin grabs her by the front of the shirt and pulls her down to her level.  She kisses Shou on the forehead, releases the front of her shirt, and then sprints away and hides behind you.

[Hello Purvis]

>Dance, puppets, dance!
>"See Umbrellas? You could learn a thing or three from that."

[Sect]

> Just as planned! (Keikaku Parsee!)
> Grin merrily at Shou. "Bye now!"
> Retreat out of the temple, grinning all the way.

Aw man, Parsee's a hell of a shipper: we got Sanae/Kogasa and Nazrin/Shou. Why don't we get Reimu down to the underground for a Satori/Reimu hat trick.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Whilst leaving, after all of that, picture self kissing Yuugi in your head... And try not to blush.

Got to remember the main shipping here, ze. XD

[日巫子]

>Dance, puppets, dance!
>"See Umbrellas? You could learn a thing or three from that."

> This is just too fun.
> Kogasa is actually watching very intently.  She glances at Sanae every now and then.  Sanae herself looks very amused.
> Shou stands there for a moment, and then, as if it has sunk in, she smiles.

> Just as planned! (Keikaku Parsee!)
> Grin merrily at Shou. "Bye now!"
> Retreat out of the temple, grinning all the way.

> Keikaku Doori paruparu
> Shou smiles and waves.  "Goodbye."
> You, Sanae, Nazrin, and Kogasa retreat from the temple, never looking back okay maybe that's being a little dramatic.
> "Okay, so we're heading to Reimu's place now!" Sanae says, stretching her arms.

>Whilst leaving, after all of that, picture self kissing Yuugi in your head... And try not to blush.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, hopefully she'll be ready to move by then. Hey, while I'm thinking of it, what do you guys know about Yakumo? That one youkai with the gaps and stuff?"
>Toward Hakureistan!

[Sect]

>Toward Hakureistan!

> We're taking the youkai to Hakurei!
> Glance at Nazrin. How's she doing?

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>If she's still red, pat her head.

>"Don't worry; at least she knows now. Maybe you might end up further than others."

>Glance and smirk at Kogasa.

[日巫子]

>"Yeah, hopefully she'll be ready to move by then. Hey, while I'm thinking of it, what do you guys know about Yakumo? That one youkai with the gaps and stuff?"
>Toward Hakureistan!

> Hopefully.
> You ask the others about 'Yakumo'.
> "Who's that?" Kogasa asks.  Nazrin simply shakes her head.
> Sanae, however, seems to have an idea.  "A gap youkai?  I saw a lady like that at Reimu's place, once.  While Reimu's back was turned, she stole her snacks."
> The four of you head towards the Hakurei Shrine.

> We're taking the youkai to Hakurei!
> Glance at Nazrin. How's she doing?

>If she's still red, pat her head.

>"Don't worry; at least she knows now. Maybe you might end up further than others."

>Glance and smirk at Kogasa.

> You're all youkai, going to save Reimu.  After some walking, you can see the shrine's stairs ahead.
> You look over at Nazrin.  She's still red, so you pat her on the head and console her.
> Nazrin shrinks into her capelet.  "Mmgh."
> You smirk at Kogasa, who sticks her tongue out at you for the third time today, only this time she pulls down her eyelid as well.  "Blehhh."

[Sect]

> "'Lady'? Huh, and for some reason, I was thinking Yakumo was a guy..."
> "All right, let's all go up." Start floating up the stairs.

[日巫子]

> "'Lady'? Huh, and for some reason, I was thinking Yakumo was a guy..."
> "All right, let's all go up." Start floating up the stairs.

> Sanae tries and fails not to snort.  "Wa ha ha ha!  Everyone who knows of her knows she's a lady!"  She manages to calm herself before the four of you start flying up the stairs.
> When you reach the top of the stairs, you can hear Eirin and Konngara's voices.  So can Sanae.  She arches an eyebrow, but nevertheless trots up to the donation box and drops in a few coins and bills.  Nazrin stares wide-eyed at the shrine itself, and Kogasa moves her umbrella from her face.  She twirls around and surveys the area, unfazed by the damaged shrine.
> Sanae also looks around at the shrine, and frowns at what she sees.

> _

[Sect]

> "Yeah, Kikuri had an issue with Reimu. Gimme a sec to see how she's doing."
> Walk to where we hear Eirin and Konngara.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Not impressed, I take it?"

>Wander round to the... scene. And brace yourself for the reactions of your party.

[Hello Purvis]

>Head for the talkers, first. They know whether or not Lil ReiRei can be moved.

[日巫子]

> "Yeah, Kikuri had an issue with Reimu. Gimme a sec to see how she's doing."
> Walk to where we hear Eirin and Konngara.

> "Hm..."  Sanae isn't very pleased, either way.
> Their voices are coming from behind the shrine, so you head that way.

>"Not impressed, I take it?"

>Wander round to the... scene. And brace yourself for the reactions of your party.

>Head for the talkers, first. They know whether or not Lil ReiRei can be moved.

> Kogasa shrugs.
> The four of you reach the back of the shrine.  Reimu has been bandaged up, so that you no longer see any of her wounds.  She's still very obviously in a coma, but she looks more alive than the last time you saw her.  Eirin is wadding up a pair of bloodstained medical gloves and making small talk with Konngara, whose sword has been stuck in the ground next to her.
> Sanae stiffens and goes strangely quiet, her eyes fixed on Reimu.  Kogasa doesn't as much as blink.  It's only when Nazrin squeaks in terror that Eirin and Konngara notice the four of you.
> "Hm?"  Konngara glances at Sanae.
> "Hello there," Eirin says with a small sigh.  "It should be safe to move her, now."
> Sanae makes a choking sound, like she's trying to say something.

> _

[Sect]

> "All right. Um, Konngara, we'll need your help for this one... My plan is..."
> Dramatic silence.
> "... to move Reimu to the Palace of the Earth Spirits."

[Hello Purvis]

>Put a reassuring hand on Nazrin's shoulder.

[日巫子]

> "All right. Um, Konngara, we'll need your help for this one... My plan is..."
> Dramatic silence.
> "... to move Reimu to the Palace of the Earth Spirits."

> Konngara glances at you.
> "Spit it out already!"
> You tell her of your plan to move Reimu to the Palace of the Earth Spirits.
> "...To Satorin's place, huh."  She pauses.  "No objections."
> Eirin stuffs her gloves in the medical bag.  "So there's someone down there to take care of her?"

>Put a reassuring hand on Nazrin's shoulder.

> You put a hand on Nazrin's shoulder.  She quickly averts her gaze from Reimu.
> "E-excuse me," Sanae blurts.  "Um, uh...a-are--"  She taps her hairline.  Eirin picks up on this.
> "Oh."

> _

[Sect]

> "... Satorin?"
> "Anyways, I haven't" informed Satori that we're even doing this "confirmed the details with Satori, but she'll be happy to take care of her. She and her pets like her."
> Pause.
> "She and her pets are okay with her."
> Pause.
> "... Reimu feeds Satori's cat."
> "... Anyways, so we'll need to figure out how to move her without hurting her."
> Look at Sanae confusedly. "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Wow, I just realized how completely I misinterpreted what the deal with Reimu's forehead was. I thought it was just a tendril from Yukari's thing.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, they probably can't do big stuff, but they can change bandages and things. Um...were you able to do much?"

[日巫子]

> "... Satorin?"
> "Anyways, I haven't" informed Satori that we're even doing this "confirmed the details with Satori, but she'll be happy to take care of her. She and her pets like her."
> Pause.
> "She and her pets are okay with her."
> Pause.
> "... Reimu feeds Satori's cat."
> "... Anyways, so we'll need to figure out how to move her without hurting her."
> Look at Sanae confusedly. "Huh? What are you talking about?"

>"Well, they probably can't do big stuff, but they can change bandages and things. Um...were you able to do much?"

> "Well, she's sort of a kid."  Just how old is Konngara, anyway?
> You let Konngara know that Satori doesn't even know what you're doing right now you haven't confirmed the details with Satori, but it's fine because she and her pets like Reimu...are okay with...well, Reimu feeds Satori's cat, that's really all you know.
> "Well.  Okay.  We'd have to be really careful," Konngara muses.
> "I don't think the stitches will come apart," Eirin says stiffly.  "I was able to close and disinfect her wounds, and then I covered it up with bandages.  I ended up casting a lot of spells to make it work.  Also...It looks like Yakumo was more help than I anticipated."
> You ask Sanae what she's talking about, anyway.
> Sanae swallows.  "On her head...It looks like she has h-horns, almost..." she mutters.

[Sect]

> Oh crap, we forgot about that. Take another look.
> "Yeah, I forgot. Well, in my defense, she was... yeah." Shivver.
> "So what's up with those, doc?"

[Hello Purvis]

>How oni-like do they look?

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

One night and I already see Parsee spreading delicious lesbianism all over Gensokyo, creating more bizarre teams and a Oni Reimu....

>Look at Kikuri from here as well.

[Sect]

One night and I already see Parsee spreading delicious lesbianism all over Gensokyo, creating more bizarre teams and a Oni Reimu....

Parsee's not spreading it, she's just making people realize what's been in front of their faces the entire time (though, since we're trying to hook up Reimu and Satori...), and VISIONNERZ did an Oni Reimu first (and that was something truly terrifying). The bizarre teams, I can't deny: she currently has Nazrin, Sanae (with Kogasa equipped), and Konngara, with Eirin as a guest member and Reimu as a key item.

Oh, speaking of key items, when Himiko gets done with the next batch, let's ask Konngara and Eirin about the eye and chain: Konngara's been around the block a few times, and Eirin's pretty smart.

[日巫子]

> Oh crap, we forgot about that. Take another look.
> "Yeah, I forgot. Well, in my defense, she was... yeah." Shivver.
> "So what's up with those, doc?"

> Oh.  You look at her head again.  You weren't sure what they were last time, but those are definitely horns.
> You ask Eirin about them, since Reimu isn't supposed to have those.
> "You have Yakumo to thank for those," Eirin says.  "It looks like she messed with some boundaries to change her into a youkai that could actually withstand those injuries.  It made the surgery a lot easier."

>How oni-like do they look?

> Pretty oni-like.  Two short, pointy horns.
> ...That's terrifying.

>Look at Kikuri from here as well.

> Kikuri hasn't moved a budge from her position in the sky.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Wait, people can DO that?! Does that mean she could...like...make someone into a celestial? Or a devil?"
>Ponder how we'd look in celestial raiments.

>_

[日巫子]

>"Wait, people can DO that?! Does that mean she could...like...make someone into a celestial? Or a devil?"
>Ponder how we'd look in celestial raiments.

> "Well, Celestials are a bit of a special case," Eirin says.  "They're former humans who gained immortality or reached Nirvana; I don't think Yakumo would interfere with that.  But I wouldn't put it past her to turn someone into a devil.  Though the results might be..."  She trails off.  "Hmm."
> "Is she able to make gods?" Sanae asks.
> "Gods?"  Konngara raises an eyebrow.  "Good question."
> They wear those shawls, right?  You could use it as a parachute.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Okay this Yakumo person is now much to scary to ever ever mess with. She can keep Suika."
>"Hey Konngara, think you could carry her? Or would that get in the way of the whole keeping Kikuri from blasting her deal?"

[日巫子]

>"Okay this Yakumo person is now much to scary to ever ever mess with. She can keep Suika."
>"Hey Konngara, think you could carry her? Or would that get in the way of the whole keeping Kikuri from blasting her deal?"

> You don't want to mess with this Yakumo person.  Or meet her.  Ever.
> No one tries to contradict you when you make this known, which kind of scares you.
> "It's fine, I can carry her," Konngara says.
