Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/II

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>What's the announcement?

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Ten Precepts..."
>Sigh.
>"Why do things like that have to be so annoying? We should enjoy life, not reject nearly all aspects about it. Maybe you know everything there ever will be to know from enlightenment, but what's the use of that if you can't do anything with it? You just sit there like a book, waiting to give someone your answers and tell your story, but not engage with them any further. As much as I love books, I'd hate to become one. It'd be absolutely abysmal to tell people stories, yet not be able to enjoy them with them."

[Tashi]

Nijisa:

>"I expected it already, the bag she had is still at the shrine though."
>Keep going back.

Niji Green:

>Look around, anyone ?

Kiku:

>Check just in case.

> Both you and Marisa start to go back.

> No.

> You check.
> ...
> You... don't have...

Daiko:

>What's the announcement?

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"Ten Precepts..."
>Sigh.

> You aren't sure... but seems to be something important.

> "..." V!Kyouko looks down.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>FS Byakuren.

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"I'd hate to see you become a book too. I'd hate to see that for any of you! I-I'd create my own sort of enlightenment if I could! Where you could be happy and express yourself and enjoy time with others!"

[Monarda]

Kiku:

>"..."
>Sigh.
>"AGAIN ?!"

Niji Green:

>Keep working, but be careful.

Daiyousei:

>How is Cirno ?

Nijisa:

>"So where do you live at Miss Sukuna ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:

>Consider checking Cirno's spirit world

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>FS Byakuren.

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"I'd hate to see you become a book too. I'd hate to see that for any of you! I-I'd create my own sort of enlightenment if I could! Where you could be happy and express yourself and enjoy time with others!"

> You futuresight Byakuren.
> She's at her temple, doing anything of note...

> "..." V!Kyouko is still silent. But no silently looking at you.

Kiku:

>"..."
>Sigh.
>"AGAIN ?!"

Niji Green:

>Keep working, but be careful.

Daiyousei:

>How is Cirno ?

Nijisa:

>"So where do you live at Miss Sukuna ?"

> You express your annoyance.
> "I-I guess that's a yes..." Sakura frowns. "W-What's happening here?"

> You keep at it.

> She seems to be eating there at the food contest of the stand...

> "At the Hakurei Shrine..." She tells you.

Daiyousei:

>Consider checking Cirno's spirit world

> Totally possible, you would say.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Cease.

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"But everyone wants to take away all the enjoyment and everything. Damn it!"
>Sigh.
>"Damn it..."

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"Ohh..."

Kiku:

>"I dunno... is yours gone ?"

[meow56]

Bastet:
>"Er...Yeah."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Cease.

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"But everyone wants to take away all the enjoyment and everything. Damn it!"
>Sigh.
>"Damn it..."

> You stop.

> "... Y-You know..."

Nijisa:

>"Ohh..."

Kiku:

>"I dunno... is yours gone ?"

> "At the dollhouse there..."

> "Uhm... Give me a moment..." Sakura gets into a room and, after some seconds, she gets out. "No, I have mine..."

Bastet:
>"Er...Yeah."

> Orange and Elfin look dumbfounded at you.
> "Shouldn't have told them if you didn't wanted them to know..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>Look to Kyouko.

[Monarda]

Bastet:

>"She's pretty cool."

Kiku:

>"I guess you're too old for the thief's tastes..."
>Think... everyone has been pretty young...

Nijisa:

>"Oh the dollhouse, so you're Reimu's friend."

Dai-chan:

>Poke Daiko.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Hm?"

[Monarda]

Dai-chan:

>"If those two Mystias are the real deal, then why don't we ask the one that you met later where did she come from ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"We tried asking things like that. Both have apparently been in the stand with me... weird."

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>Look to Kyouko.

> "... You should know that Mystia and I have a band... I like this... stuff... I... am not exactly someone well mannered..." V!Kyouko smiles faintly, but it doesn't have any speck of happiness in that. "... This me right now is, like, against three precepts of Buddhism... ... Maybe more..."

Bastet:

>"She's pretty cool."

Kiku:

>"I guess you're too old for the thief's tastes..."
>Think... everyone has been pretty young...

Nijisa:

>"Oh the dollhouse, so you're Reimu's friend."

Dai-chan:

>Poke Daiko.

Daiko:

>"Hm?"

Dai-chan:

>"If those two Mystia's are the real deal, then why don't we ask the one that you met later where did she come from ?"

Daiko:

>"We tried asking things like that. Both have apparently been in the stand with me... weird."

> "Cool how?" Orange asks. "How can she be in your head?"

> ...
> You can feel Sakura's glare as you think.
> Well... you can't confirm anything... It has been just you and Tsuru...

> Shinmyoumaru nods.
> You arrive at the shrine.

> You poke Daiko and tell him a way...
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"And we love you this way! I... argh! I just wanna beat up that Siddhartha for trying to make good people, no, amazing people like you into emotionless books!"

[Monarda]

Kiku:

>"Hey don't complain, at least you're not Yukari."
>"Hm... but that doesn't give us much of a clue... has nobody else in the village complained about that ?"

Niji Green:

>Did we manage ?

Nijisa:

>"I think no one came back yet..."

Dai-chan:

>"Then maybe they're two halves of a full Mystia ? Like something tooks Mystia then split her in half in a way and now we have 2 1/2s Mystias."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Why?"

[Tashi]

V!Kyouko-Daiko:

>"And we love you this way! I... argh! I just wanna beat up that Siddhartha for trying to make good people, no, amazing people like you into emotionless books!"

> V!Kyouko legitimately looks shocked at your words. "H-Head Priest w-would give you a harsh lecture if you said that in front of her..."

Kiku:

>"Hey don't complain, at least you're not Yukari."
>"Hm... but that doesn't give us much of a clue... has nobody else in the village complained about that ?"

Niji Green:

>Did we manage ?

Nijisa:

>"I think no one came back yet..."

Dai-chan:

>"Then maybe they're two halves of a full Mystia ? Like something tooks Mystia then split her in half in a way and now we have 2 1/2s Mystias."

Daiko:

>"Why?"

> You don't know.
> "Hmph."

> ...
> ...
> Nope.
> "Seems like it- what, you can't open that thing?" Marisa rolls her eyes and approaches.

> You consider possibilities of what happened to Mystia...
> _

[meow56]

Bastet:
>"Soul fusion."

[Monarda]

Kiku:

>"Daww... that doesn't mean we don't love you..."
>Pat the Oni.

Nijisa:

>Approach !

[Tashi]

Bastet:
>"Soul fusion."

> They both look impressed by the term...
> "... Soul Fusion, huh..."

Kiku:

>"Daww... that doesn't mean we don't love you..."
>Pat the Oni.

Nijisa:

>Approach !

> You approach and pat Sakura.
> "A-Anyway, you will accept my underwear or what?"

> You approach as Marisa, with an unparelled ability unties the bag.
> "There. Not a big problem."
> -

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"A true thief indeed."
>Grin.

Niji Green:

>Examine the contents !

Kiku:

>"Okay then..."
>Equip underwear for the 3rd time.

[Tashi]

Nijisa:

>"A true thief indeed."
>Grin.

Niji Green:

>Examine the contents !

Kiku:

>"Okay then..."
>Equip underwear for the 3rd time.

> "Dunno' what ya' talking about pal'." Marisa chuckles.

> Examining what is inside, you notice that it's... full of the presentation cards. With Seija's face silhouette, that is.

> You accept the white underwear from Sakura. Both panties and bra. You HOPE you don't lose this ones...
> "And now have to take some for Tsuru too..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku:

>"Yeah."
>Poke Sakura Horn.

Niji Green:

>"That's a lot of cards, what even for ? Looks like a waste of paper..."

Nijisa:

>"Sorta Narcisistic..."

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"Yeah."
>Poke Sakura Horn.

Niji Green:

>"That's a lot of cards, what even for ? Looks like a waste of paper..."

Nijisa:

>"Sorta Narcisistic..."

> You poke Sakura's horn. You can feel energy in it.

> Marisa shrugs.
> "Dunno wha she planned to do with this..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"They look shady..."

Nijisa:

>"Should we use them as firewood ? Well, firepaper."

Daiko:

>How are the Mystias faring ?
>Are we in the middle of the street ?

V.Kyouko-Daiko:

>"It's just that what would you do once you hit that state ? What can you do to enjoy life instead while following all those ideals ? It just seems like it will all become so... bland..."

[meow56]

Bastet:
>Yep.

[Neovereign]

Kyouko-V!Daiko:

>After that: "Maybe I'll speak my mind and let her lecture me. For days even. At least she'll be Byakuren and not a book then..."
