Niji:
>"Hmm?"
Niji Blue:
>"Yep!"
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "Hm..."
Daiko:
>"Author, at least?"
Tsuru:
> "Hm..."
Niji:
>"Uhh..."
Niji Blue:
>"I just don't want to get in trouble!"
Bastet:
>Where are we?
Niji:
>Look at Patchouli.
Niji Blue:
>"But it's theirs! And it's their panties!"
Bastet:
>Take a look around.
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "It's a start."
Daiko:
> "Hm."
Tsuru:
> Watch it.
Kiku:
> Are we there yet?"
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "Good."
Daiko:
> Wave.
Tsuru:
> "What the!?"
Kiku:
> "Hm..."
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "Jessica's also wondering why you vanished..."
Daiko:
> "She left..."
Tsuru:
>Follow, I guess...
Kiku:
> Shrug.
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "I understand... take care."
Daiko:
> "She sort of had to..."
Tsuru:
> "Niji?"
Kiku:
> "Are you sure?"
Niji:
>Look at Yuudachi.
>"Uhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Niji Blue:
>"But it's theirs!"
Bastet:
>What?
>Do we know how we got here?
>What's on the island?
>Heck, what's the island made of?
Daiko:
> "Sorry."
Tsuru:
> "Is this yours?"
Kiku:
> "Hm."
Niji:
>"I'm not sure we should be touching these light balls, Yuudachi..."
Niji Blue:
>"What!?"
Bastet:
>Look way off into the distance. Do we see anything at all?
>Inspect tree.
>Stand up.
Niji:
>"Yuudachi?"
Niji Blue:
>"Ack!"
>Turn into light and escape the tackle!
Bastet:
>Oniru? You there?
Niji:
>Approach a light ball as well.
Niji Blue:
>Return to physical form a bit away.
Bastet:
>Hi!
Niji:
>Hmm.
>Cautiously touch it.
Niji Blue:
>Abscond!
Bastet:
>Oh.
Niji:
>"Eh?"
Niji Blue:
>"Ehehee!"
>Keep running!
Bastet:
>How did that happen?
Niji:
>Anything feel different?
Niji Blue:
>"Noooooo!"
>Keep going!
Bastet:
>Err, sorry.
>So how has the search gone?
Daiko:
> "And how long was that?"
Tsuru:
> Block it from them with something! A huge dome of ice. Anything we could conjure that would impede it!
Kiku:
> Look around.
Niji:
>How so?
Niji Blue:
>Where can we go from here?
Bastet:
>Uh oh.
Niji:
>"Bleh..."
Niji Blue:
>Pick a room and hide!
Bastet:
>Hmm?
Daiko:
> "H-Huh... Then I think you'll have to wait a bit longer... She's not exactly in the best situation to start tutoring."
Tsuru:
> Blink.
Kiku:
> "Ah?"
Daiyousei:
> How are we?
Niji:
>Do we still feel weird?
Niji Blue:
>Of what?
Bastet:
>That's possible...
Niji:
>What's Yuudachi doing?
>"Can Yuudachi come?"
Niji Blue:
>Stay quietish.
Bastet:
>Yeah.
Daiko:
> "Hehe."
Tsuru:
> "Ah. This situation really escalated!"
Kiku:
> Evade!
Daiko:
> "Hey fangirl! You can't right now. I told you she's in a bit of a situation. You're just gonna dig her deeper if you try now."
Tsuru:
> "Did... Uh..."
Kiku:
> "So she's attacking us now?"
Daiko:
> "It's not too bad a term..."
Tsuru:
> "What?"
Kiku:
> "...What?"
Niji:
>Pout.
>"Why nooot?"
Niji Blue:
>Small giggle.
Bastet:
>Attempt such.
Daiko:
> Shrug.
Tsuru:
> "Is she alright? Did it combine with her?"
Kiku:
> Look.
Daiko:
> "We continue. But since Daiyousei's going to be with Christine at school instead of us teaching her danmaku..."
Tsuru:
> Blink.
Kiku:
> "Ah. Koa!"
> Wave.
Niji:
>"Then I'm staying!"
Niji Blue:
>Getting closer or farther away?
Bastet:
>Wake up properly.
Daiko:
> "Something different I guess. I do want to help Aya out..."
Tsuru:
> Sigh in relief.
Kiku:
> "Mm..."
Daiko:
> "And I really want to fix that."
Tsuru:
> "Well?"
Kiku:
> "Thanks love. Hey Remilia, do you need me for getting to Patchouli?"
Niji:
>"Okay."
>Watch the light show.
Niji Blue:
>Are the stairs to our left or right?
>Is Clowny to our left or right?
Bastet:
>"Hmm?"
Daiko:
> "That she didn't mean to. Desperation can make people make mistakes they'd regret..."
Tsuru:
> "Yea..."
Kiku:
> "Alriiiight..."
Niji:
>Keep watching.
>How's Yuudachi reacting?
Niji Blue:
>Stay quiet.
Bastet:
>"It's fine."
Niji:
>Keep watching, then.
Niji Blue:
>Was this door closer or farther than the previous one?
Bastet:
>Shrug.
>"Better to ensure they're not where they're supposed to be before checking where they might be."
Niji:
>Nab Yuudachi.
Niji Blue:
>Carefully, very carefully, crack the door open and peek.
Bastet:
>Is she saying that we didn't know before, but do now?
Niji:
>"Sorry, but Patchouli says you shouldn't touch the lights."
>Pet.
Niji Blue:
>Does the door open right or left?
Bastet:
>Nod.
Niji:
>More pet.
Niji Blue:
>Look for Clowny but don't open the door more.
Bastet:
>"So what's next?"
Niji:
>"Sorry."
>What're the lights doing?
Niji Blue:
>Get ready to bolt.
Bastet:
>"Hmm?"
Daiko:
> "As in it was something she regrets..."
Tsuru:
> "Hm?"
Kiku:
> "I said alright. I didn't disobey. What's wrong?"
Daiko:
> "Yea. That's why I'd like your help and such."
Tsuru:
> "Oh."
Kiku:
> "Sorry..."
Daiko:
> "Thanks."
Tsuru:
> "Even that act before could be akin to a dog leaping to it's owner... I guess."
Kiku:
> Sigh under our voice and follow.
Niji:
>Watch.
Niji Blue:
>Go go go!
Bastet:
>"Oh."
Niji:
>Look at Yuudachi.
>Shrug.
Niji Blue:
>Downstairs!
Bastet:
>Listen.
Niji:
>"Hmm?"
Niji Blue:
>How loud were we?
Bastet:
>"Interesting..."
Niji:
>Feel any weirder?
Niji Blue:
>What're the exits to this room?
Bastet:
>"Yay!"
Daiko:
> "I asked for a bit of help. Let's try and meet up with them."
Keine-V!Daiko:
> "Can we meet up somewhere and plan something to help her?"
Daiyousei:
> How are we?
Tsuru:
> "Are you sure it's alright...?"
Kiku:
> Keep on.
Niji:
>"Mmm..."
>Pat.
>What're the lights doing?
Niji Blue:
>To the kitchen, then.
Bastet:
>Nod nod.
Daiko:
> "So where should we meet up?"
Daiyousei:
> "She's never seen you before though. So I think she just started being able to do ice stuff... Or learned it from the place she said she was."
Tsuru:
> Check the doll... Is it high in magic like the blob was?
Kiku:
> "Mm."
> Nod.
Niji:
>"Mmm..."
>Pat.
>What're the lights doing?
Niji Blue:
>To the kitchen, then.
Bastet:
>Nod nod.
Daiko:
> "Well not outright just where all the people will be..."
Daiyousei:
> "Hm... Maybe."
Tsuru:
> Compare it to Alice's other dolls.
Kiku:
> "There's still economical issues..."
Niji:
>Take a seat and watch.
Niji Blue:
>What are the exits to this room?
Bastet:
>"Mmm..."
Keine-V!Daiko:
> "My house or a food stall?"
Daiyousei:
> "We haven't really found much we can test with. And learning other things is more important anyways."
Tsuru:
> Then what about compared to when it first appeared?
Kiku:
> "Um..."
Niji:
>"Hmmm..."
Niji Blue:
>Shoot.
>Is the counter next to a wall or free standing?
Bastet:
>Nod.
Keine-V!Daiko:
> "Alright. I'll be there in a bit."
Daiko:
> "My house it is then, I suppose."
> Start for it.
Daiyousei:
> "There is."
Tsuru:
> "I don't trust that nothing changed with the doll. Be careful, Alice."
Kiku:
> "I'd be a freeloader if I wasn't helping money-wise..."
Daiyousei:
> "We will. But the cave thing you said you were at is something interesting too."
Daiko:
> "Cave thing?"
Tsuru:
> "Mm..."
Kiku:
> "Sakuya-. Er, Miss Sakuya said that my help would be appreciated if I joined. So it's not just funds..."
Niji:
>Pet.
Niji Blue:
>Is the counter clear?
Bastet:
>"Ok."
Daiko:
> "I can't really help with that today... Not until I help this friend, at least."
Daiyousei.
> "...Maybe we should do the school thing first instead then, Christine."
Tsuru:
> "Hm..."
Kiku:
> "In what? How well I can perform as a maid?"
Niji:
>Keep on watching.
Niji Blue:
>Wait.
Bastet:
>"I don't think so..."
Daiko:
> "We'll see you another time then, Christine. I hope the studying goes well."
> Wave and head off for our house.
Daiyousei:
> Wave.
Tsuru:
> "Either way?"
Kiku:
> "I haven't been around too long... Even outside of being a maid..."
Daiyousei:
> "Learning can be more useful first."
Tsuru:
> "Hm."
Kiku:
> "I hope I can be helpful though. Like with finding the culprit of the ...whole weird situation... Or even just helping around."
Daiyousei:
> Nod happily.
> Take her hand and Cirno.
> "Can we go to the school then, Cirno? Will you come?"
Tsuru:
> Nod.
Kiku:
> Nod.
Daiyousei:
> Happily head for the school.
Tsuru:
>... Do we feel breezy?
Kiku:
> "What do you mean? Why would I quit? It's helping someone and it's even helpful to me. That's already a lot. Then there's also the fact that I've made friends here... And more..."
Daiyousei:
> Wave.
Tsuru:
> Surely we noticed what it was this time?
> "I'm not taking this anymore!!!"
> Contact Daiko! Contact him contact him contact him contact him contact him!!!
Kiku:
> "You're not enemies..."
Daiyousei:
> "Hi miss Keine. This is Christine. Christine Dawn."
Tsuru:
> "It happe-... S-Something's wrong!"
Tsusu-V!Daiko:
>D: "What?"
>T: "Someone took them again! It's likely it's Sakuya, Niji, Alice, or some strange black blob thing! Find who did it already!"
>D: "What do you mean? I'm sort of busy and this doesn't even invol-"
>T: "Shut up the hell up and stop whoever keeps doing this!"
>D: "Wow. Rude..."
>T: "Sorry." Sigh. "Just please stop who's doing it from... doing it..."
Kiku:
> "You haven't done anything to me really..."
Daiyousei:
> "We're trying to head to there right now."
Tsuru:
>"C-Catch Alice. T-...They went missing again."
Kiku:
> "Hm?"
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> "I-I do."
> Sit down. We can NOT afford to have it seen. By ANYONE. So make the possibility 0%
> "I-It had to be someone around here..."
Kiku:
> "Ah... Right..."
Daiyousei:
> "What? Aw. Why not?"
Tsuru:
> Sit in the best way that makes sure we have 0% chance of being seen like that...
Daiyousei:
> Look heartbroken.
> "But... I-It was going to be me and Cirno and Christine... A-And Christine was going to learn a lot... So much...
Tsuru:
> "The black thing was fast and could absorb into the doll and absorb bullets. What if it... absorbed into the ground or something and took people's..."
> Murmur: "T-Took people's panties to absorb and fled like that..."
> "Could you lend me a pair... by the way?"
> Blink.
> "Did it get yours?"
Niji:
>Is the weirdness gone?
Niji Blue:
>Get ready...
Bastet:
>"You too!"
Daiyousei:
> "Huh?"
Tsuru:
> "As if I could move..."
> Look around.
> "Maybe I should return to being part of Daiko. At least until this thief's gone. And maybe for finding my cape and hat too..."
> Other than the listed above, how willing are we to become part of Daiko again?
Niji:
>Has Patch stopped chanting?
Niji Blue:
>Stay down, but get ready to move either around or above the counter.
Bastet:
>"Okay! Bye!"
>Wake up.
Daiyousei:
> "Really?"
Tsuru-V!Daiko:
>T: "I need you to come to the mansion so that we can be one person again... It's not for long! Just until the thief's caught..."
>D: "It's that big a problem?"
>T: "Yes. Don't say you're busy. It's just a quick trip to the mansion then you can do whatever you were... Then get back to finding the culprit too."
Tsuru:
> It's much better than being randomly trapped in a situation where one of the most important secrets we have could be revealed to anyone around. Especially in that we can't even tell when it happens without checking every moment.
> Try to make Daiko appear here. Can we do any sort of vanishing act like that? Do we need our cape or can it be any sort of covering for the subject to reappear from?
Niji:
>Wait, then.
Niji Blue:
>>If Clowny approaches from the open side, vault over the counter.
>>If Clowny peeks at us from above, go around the side.
Bastet:
>Wake up properly and look around.
Daiko:
> Are we there yet?
> "I might need to stop by the mansion for a second... Apparently, Tsuru's in a bit of a situation and needs help."
Daiyousei:
> "Thank you! Can we start right now?"
Tsuru:
> Look around again...
Daiyousei:
> "Yea."
Tsuru:
> "I hurt my leg. And it's too much to stand on. Quit with the whispering..."
Daiko:
> "Er... She's 'pinned under something' and no one can get her out. So I'm going to bring her back into me to get her out..."
> Start for the mansion.
> Well it's not entirely wrong. She is pinned under something. That being the gravity of the situation. And no one can get her out unless they come with another pair...
Niji:
>...
Niji Blue:
>...
Bastet:
>"Bluh!?"
Niji:
>"Hmm?"
>Look over. "Oh, hi."
Kiku:
>"Hi."
Niji Blue:
>Wait until she's gone.
Bastet:
>Catch ourselves.
Daiyousei:
> "Let's go then."
Tsuru:
> "I don't think so. Maybe one of the knives..."
Daiko:
> "Continue to the house. I'll be just a bit."
> Well, here's hoping we can start with that training from Aya, sort of. Speed on towards the mansion!
Daiyousei:
> "We are. Can you teach us some basic things along the way miss Keine? So Christine can learn."
Tsuru:
> "I was trying to help prevent that creature from doing damage to Alice and Niji. What were you all doing for them? Running?"
Daiko:
> Note when we get there.
> Contact Tsuru to start getting directions as well.
Daiyousei:
> "What you think is best, since you know best as a teacher."
> Nod confidently.
Tsuru:
> "Exactly."
Daiko:
> Continue on.
Daiyousei:
> "We haven't gotten to teach much."
Tsuru:
> "You should help more. It doesn't have to be attacks... Maybe redirect it's attention."
Daiko:
> Are we there yet?
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
> "Let's go."
Tsuru:
> "Away from the others."
Daiko:
> Then keep on until we are.
Daiyousei:
> Continue.
Tsuru:
> "You can fly and you have more numbers. Another one of you could shoot at it to hopefully get it's attention. Then it's run around trying to chase all of you, but can't because you're all making it chase each other. You'd all make it tired before you get tired."
> Continue waiting on Daiko.
Daiko:
> Continue travelling.
Tsuru:
> "Oh."
Tsuru:
> Nod.
> "Um, can you give me it and get the fairies' attention elsewhere?"
Tsuru:
> "I'm not moving from here and risking being seen..."
> Sigh.
> "I can just wait for Daiko... He's coming here and he can at least stop me from being stolen from... Until we find the thief anyways."
Tsuru:
> "It's not that I really distrust you. Rather that I... distrust everyone. I'm not standing up when Daiko gets here either..."
Tsuru:
> Nod.
> Check in the bag. Be sure no fairies can see it...
Daiyousei:
> There?
Tsuru:
> Top and bottom, or just bottom?
> If no one's looking, take them out and get them under our dress.
> Afterwards, try to fit them on without letting the dress lift from the ground and ruining our cover.
Daiko:
> There?
Daiyousei:
> "What? Where'd Daiko go?"
Tsuru:
> Try...
Daiko:
> Hurry up then.
> Halt...
> See what he's doing.
Tsuru-V!Daiko:
>D: "I... Might be a bit more..."
>T: "What do you mean? You're already taking long enough..."
Daiyousei:
> "Hm..."
Tsuru:
> Just get our legs through it and pull it around and up from there... It should be possible without lifting the dress past getting the underwear under it in the first place.
Daiko:
> Watch.
Daiyousei:
> "Aw..."
Tsuru:
> Are we clothed there now?
> If so, stand with a sigh. Keep the upper pair hidden though.
Daiko:
> Continue.
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> "I swear... If I somehow get stolen again before he gets here..."
Daiko:
> Watch.
Daiyousei:
> "Where?"
Tsuru:
> Keep our hand that's holding the top pair, holding the bottom pair too...
Daiko:
> "...As much as I wonder why you've made Daiyousei's house your rest stop for right now or something, I still have endless things to take care of..."
> Return en route to the mansion and Tsuru.
Niji:
>Watch.
Niji Blue:
>Peek out.
Bastet:
>"It's fine. I just wasn't expecting to be moving..."
Niji:
>Pet Yuudachi.
Niji Blue:
>Lucky...
>Step out a little and make sure she's truly gone.
Bastet:
>Purr.
Daiyousei:
> "I guess we can."
Tsuru:
> Just maintain our hand there. It should help with knowing when it vanishes too.
Daiko:
> Whatever. Continue on.
Niji:
>Keep watching.
Niji Blue:
>Shoot.
>What's her expression?
Bastet:
>Enjoy a little...
>...But we have things to do, huh.
>Look around. Where are we?
Daiyousei:
> "Well we can still learn things out here right?"
Tsuru:
> If we believe we have the privacy, put the top piece on...
Daiko:
> Wave.
> "Hey. I'll be dropping in for a second."
> Continue on in.
Daiyousei:
> "Christine?"
Tsuru:
> Well... Try to get it on without making ourself visible, even if no one's around.
Niji:
>Keep on.
Niji Blue:
>Where are we in relation to the door?
Bastet:
>Small sigh, then hop out of her hands.
Daiyousei:
> "We could always see it later."
Tsuru:
> At least don't stand in the middle of the hall... A wall or something...
Daiko:
> How much further?
Daiyousei:
> "Mhm."
Tsuru:
> Put it on then.
Daiyousei:
> Wave in return and follow the directions we had to Tsuru.
DaiDaiTsuru:
> Continue.
Niji:
>Check our bracelet.
Niji Blue:
>I thought our only exit was the door?
Bastet:
>Exit.
Daiyousei:
> Listen on.
Tsuru:
> Continue.
Daiko:
> Wave and approach.
Niji:
>Check our bracelet.
Niji Blue:
>I thought our only exit was the door?
Bastet:
>Exit.
Daiyousei:
> "Don't sleep Cirno."
Tsuru:
> "Turn the other way for a second."
Daiko:
> Turn...
Tsuru:
> Put it on quicker.
Niji:
>What color is it?
Niji Blue:
>Out the hole.
Bastet:
>Small shrug.
Daiyousei:
> "Lemme see what it was."
Tsuru:
> "Done. Alright. I guess I'm ready to... be trapped again."
Daiko:
> Turn and approach.
> "Was it really like being tra-
Daiyousei:
> "Come oooon."
Daiko:
> Well... whether or not we tell her, if she notices, she'll know we've seen.
> So just continue to do the process.
> ...Gah... We'll tell her when we're one again.
> ...
> Was the sight amazing, at least? (well, still amazing?)
Niji:
>Huh. Interesting.
Niji Blue:
>"Wheee~"
>What's around us?
Bastet:
>Nod.
>I guess we could start here.
Daiyousei:
>Look.
Tsuru:
> Are we stuck in that mind place or whatever again?
> Examine it and ourself.
Daiko:
> Well... Start back for our house.
> "You sorta left your shirt unbuttoned."
Daiyousei:
> Do so. Gently though. Don't want to annoy her a lot...
Tsuru:
> "You only told me now!? Really!?"
Daiko:
> "It would've just made the whole thing take even longer. I have other places to be and things to do too you know. And don't even think of calling me a pervert. You told me to turn around."
> Start back for our home.
> Continue.
> Who heard this?
Daiko:
> From who? Who are we around?
Daiko:
>Briefly check to see if we still have our underwear.
>Feel for souls around.
Tsuru:
> Check for ours, even in this realm.
Tsuru:
>"DAIKOOOOO!!!"
Daiko:
>Angrily restrain them all with the use of our soul manipulative abilities.
Daiko:
> Is our ability really that underdeveloped to not be able to restrain a few souls, yet change emotions? Is the latter some low level technique compared to this?
Niji:
>Odd.
>Attempt contact?
Niji Blue:
>Try to keep close to the house while also avoiding the kappa.
Bastet:
>Yeah.
Niji:
>"Who are you?"
Niji Blue:
>Continue running round the house.
Bastet:
>Yeah.
Daiko:
> Try harder.
Tsuru:
> Help him somehow. Do something to make him succeed!
Tsuru:
> "Freeze them?"
Daiko:
> "They're spirits."
Tsuru:
> "Just try!"
Daiko:
> Make the attempt.
Daiko:
> We should have our own sort of ice magic too, but whatever...
> Keep on.
Niji:
>...What color are you.
Niji Blue:
>"Can't stop! Sorry!"
>Keep on running.
Bastet:
>...
>Right. Let's just choose someone...
>Uh, how about Patchouli.
>Start heading to the library, if we know where we are.
Daiko:
> Stop them at all costs.
Daiko:
> Continue.
> Try to manipulate their spirits so that they stand still. Or something to hinder them.
> If that doesn't work, absorb them into our horn.
Daiko:
> Then start firing at the others. Using our horn to absorb too. Whatever we've been using already to try and catch them.
> Note if we manage to get all of them
Daiko:
> Weird how?
> Release the ones in our horn and immediately freeze them.
> Keep heading after the others. Give up danmaku, just freeze and try to manipulate them.
Daiko:
> Keep on. Remember where the frozen ones are.
> Until we freeze the last.
Daiko:
> Catch that last one then.
Daiko:
> DODGE!
>Still try to freeze it!
Daiko:
> Freeze that spot.
Daiko:
> Refocus on the spirit and freeze it already.
Daiko:
> "Identify yourself."
> Try to use our soul abilities to, in fact.
Daiko:
> Wait, we're at the ceiling, so it's below us...
> Absorb it into our horn! Quick!
Daiko:
> Start down to her.
> "Koakuma, what are you doing?"
Daiko:
> Keep pursuit and just watch them.
Niji:
>Care to try again?
>Attempt to see through her.
Niji Blue:
>"Noooooooo!"
Bastet:
>Alright.
>I guess we could start with Koa.
Niji:
>Care to try again?
>Attempt to see through her.
Niji Blue:
>"Noooooooo!"
Bastet:
>Alright.
>I guess we could start with Koa.
Niji:
>What's everyone else doing?
>I don't remember creating Niji Red.
Niji Blue:
>How long until she catches up?
>Is there a corner coming up?
Bastet:
>Return to human form.
>Knock on door.
Daiko:
> "Koakuma..."
Daiko:
>"Explain their actions and who they are. Especially given they've been stealing from everyone AND you attacked me."
>Er, try to see which ones have our underwear. We don't have to worry about being seen since we wear pants, right?
Daiko:
> "If they try to escape, I'll treat this as a trick and offense against us."
> Unfreeze all of them.
> "Explain. Stealing underwear. Doing such past clothing covering it. Your Mother-Children thing. Everything about this."
Daiko:
> "They're causing a lot of problems. Especially for Tsuru. I'll let her show just how annoyed-"
Tsuru:
> "Don't swap me! They took the underwear I JUST got too!"
Daiko:
> "...Nevermind. Still, you're responsible for this problem. Everyone would like their underwear back."
Tsuru:
> "And my cape and hat."
Daiko:
> "And Tsuru would especially like her cape and such back."
Daiko:
> "Willing or not, tell them to. Or we'll still have a problem."
Daiko:
> "We're going to take action if this isn't fixed..."
Daiko:
> "It's better not to know so it's just forgotten when you fix this. So please, do so."
Daiko:
> "Nothing. Just a bluff hoping that you'd realize that this is a problem I'm worried about. But I can't do anything in good conscience for either side."
> Separate Tsuru out.
> "You know the culprits now, at least. I'm going back home to finish the business I had before being interrupted by this. And to get another pair..."
Niji:
>Start going to her location.
>Which is why I don't think you're actually Red.
Niji Blue:
>Brake hard.
>Hopefully Clowny rams into us. If that happens, go ahead and sprint as fast as we possibly can.
Bastet:
>"Hi."
Niji:
>Like I said, I don't remember ever creating you.
Niji Blue:
>Huh.
>Struggle, I guess.
Bastet:
>"...Yes."
Niji:
>Yes?
Niji Blue:
>Welp.
Bastet:
>"It's fine."
Tsuru:
> "Daiko, the whole reason I called you here was to make sure you kept me from being seen. Now you're just drooping me back off with these invisible things that can move where I can't even tell?"
Daiko:
> "I'm not going to do anything unless it becomes something bigger. It's only a few people in the mansion from all I know."
> Vision Remilia.
Tsuru:
> Do we have any plans/current business at the mansion? Aside from this whole... situation?
Niji:
>Keep going.
Niji Blue:
>"Eeeeek!"
Bastet:
>"Well, I'm trying to find some Dream World residents..."
Remilia-V!Daiko:
>"Uh. There's a few thieves in your mansion, lead by Koakuma... They've stolen Tsuru's ... clothing, and some of mine. I can't solve this problem with talking to her and them..."
Tsuru:
> "Just give me back my cape and hat at least. I can't replace those."
Niji Blue:
>Hmm?
>Look around.
Bastet:
>"Yeah, they've left the Dream World though."
Remilia-V!Daiko:
>"Clothing thieves..."
>Look aside.
>"Like underwear."
Tsuru:
> "Trade with what? They're in no position to trade when they've just been stealing from me."
> How good are we at freezing? We could instantly freeze the spirits, as well as create a huge dome against that blob...
Niji Blue:
>Sheepish grin?
Bastet:
>"I was wondering if you had seen any?"
Remilia-V!Daiko:
> "I'm with them right now, like I said. A group following Koakuma. In the halls."
>Give a bit more detail to where we are.
Tsuru:
> "Well?"
Niji Blue:
>"Ehehe..."
>Look aside.
Bastet:
>"Oh."
Tsuru:
> "That doesn't look very... appeared."
Tsuru:
> "No way! I need those!"
Tsuru:
> "Exactly. They're mine and those are *my* things that they do. I want them all back now. No trade. No bargain. NOW!"
Tsuru:
> "Give me back what belongs to me. Now. Koakuma, I won't ask them again..."
Tsuru:
> Start to freeze them.
Niji Blue:
>"Sorry."
Bastet:
>"..."
>"Well, uh, could you lead me out of here, then? I don't want to get lost."
Tsuru:
> "Are you deaf? Give. Me. My. Belongings."
Tsuru:
> Unfreeze one of them.
> "There."
Tsuru:
> "Give me my belongings back, and I'll unfreeze the rest of them."
Tsuru:
> Try a sort of hypnosis or mind control magic, to get her to give us our belongings back.
Tsuru:
> Ours? Why?
Tsuru:
> Keep trying the magic, but focus on the memory too.
Daiko:
> Try to absorb the rest if the group into our horn, get them to the mind room, but ensure they're restrained.
>> If successful, try to alter their spirts to tell us where the belongings are and how to get there.
Niji Blue:
>"Oh."
Bastet:
>"Thanks."
>Follow.
Tsuru:
> Keep focus on the memory then...
Daiko:
> Then resume the process on the others.
Daiko:
> Then resume the process on the others.
Daiko:
>> If successful, try to alter their spirts to tell us where the belongings are and how to get there.
Daiko:
> Try to absorb the rest if the group into our horn, get them to the mind room, but ensure they're restrained.
>> If successful, try to alter their spirts to tell us where the belongings are and how to get there.
Tsuru:
> Why.
Niji Blue:
>"..."
Bastet:
>"Ah, sorry. It's Shiro."
Daiko:
> Just restraining them by trapping them in a box, a-la Kira, can be fine.
> Continue trying.
Tsuru:
> Continue.
Daiko:
> Continue.
Tsuru:
> Then at least the memories? Something...
Daiko:
> Focus and continue more.
Tsuru:
> "I only froze them. I still want my belongings."
> Look around.
Daiko:
> Focus them on explaining exactly which shelf, and where.
Tsuru:
> "That's what it seems like to you! How would you feel if a group of people just clipped your wings off and started playing with them like they were their own toys?"
Daiko:
> Force more.
Tsuru:
> "I'm comparing it to my outfit in general. Especially my cape."
Tsuru-V!Daiko:
> Give Tsuru instructions on where it is.
Remilia-V!Daiko:
> "I think I got the culprits to reveal where they hid it. Tsuru should be coming to get her things too."
> Give her details on where they are too.
Tsuru:
> "Whatever, you won't understand since you're only trying to defend what your children are doing.
> Unfreeze... whoever's still frozen. Head for the spot!
Keine-V!Daiko:
> "I'm sorry I'm late. There's this group led by... Koakuma, I believe, who stole underwear and special relics from my family and me... I'm busy stopping them."
Keine-V!Daiko:
> "It's not a good thought, no... Especially given they swipe without you knowing and from under your clothes."
> Glance to reaffirm what we're wearing.
> "I don't know how in the heck they got me..."
Remilia-V!Daiko:
> "Remilia. I'd like if you'd propose a sort of punishment for them... This matter isn't light, given it wasn't only underwear being stolen."
Remilia-V!Daiko:
> "I'll set them out in the library. Give me a second to head there."
Daiko:
> "I'll be letting them out in the library after everything's recovered."
> Start there.
> Is anyone else doing anything that would warrant needing to spend time? Otherwise, can such be skipped to arrival?
> Do such.
Daiko, Tsuru:
>Head for the spot...
Daiko:
> "Er, you Tsuru. I'm not being revealed to everyone's underwear and whatnot... Hand me mine if you find it..."
> Look away.
Tsuru:
> "Right..."
> Search it and get what was taken from us. And Daiko if we see such.
Daiko:
> Peer up. See if she's found anything.
> "Anything?"
Tsuru:
> Sigh.
> "One of these..."
> Try a magic to reveal it.
Daiko:
> ...Right. She's... not wearing any.
> Commit the view to memory... then look away!
Tsuru:
> Check it.
Tsuru:
> Rummage for what belongs to us. Cape. Hat. Underwear. Etc. And what belongs to Daiko too...
Tsuru:
>"Gah!"
> Get a pair! Then our cape and hat!
Daiko:
> Look up and search for ours visually.
Tsuru:
>Head down and put on our cape and hat as we do so.
Daiko:
> Get them off and glance for the one not like the others, our pair.
Tsuru:
> Continue.
Daiko:
> "Tsuru, look for mine when you find yours... Since that's priority..."
Tsuru:
> "Right..."
> Start searching the scattered clothing.
Daiko:
> Step away and look away.
Tsuru:
> Sigh...
> Keep searching until we find ours or Daiko's.
Tsuru:
> Snag them.
> "Daiko, here."
Daiko:
> "One second."
> Did the other Koakuma follow us?
>> If not, head back to the group and let out the "children" of the other "Koakuma".
>>> If so, just say and do the actions below Tsuru's.
Tsuru:
> Keep searching then... Keep the pair with us.
>> If the other Koa didn't follow: How... is this pair anyways? Now that he's gone...
> "Please do teach them not to do such like this... Make them use that swiftness and such for something good. Like shelving books in here."
>> Return to Tsuru.
Tsuru:
> Hold out his to him.
Daiko:
> Take it.
> "Right. Uh..."
> Look around.
> "Can't really just go carrying this around. Or change now..."
Tsuru:
> Can we create a sort of curtain or invisibility or anything? Like something to shield us from outside view? Cape or otherwise?
Tsuru:
> Try to extend it. Past Daiko's height.
Tsuru:
> "Use that to change."
> Watch over the cape and around instead of looking for our clothes right now. Better safe that he's not caught, since he kept us from it...
Daiko:
> Ensure it's around us well...
> Then when we are sure, start changing.
> Continue until finished.
Daiko:
> Exit the curtain.
> "Thanks."
Tsuru:
> "Right..."
> Get back to searching.
Tsuru:
> Take it. Then resume searching.
> When we find our pair, redo the cape act and start changing in it.
Tsuru:
> Continue.
Tsuru:
> Snag them and make the cape-curtain to start changing.
> When it's up, get in and change. Reinstruct Daiko to keep watch.
Daiko:
> Keep watch...
Tsuru:
> Step out and don our cape again.
> Sigh.
> "Much better..."
> Search for Sakura's.
Daiko:
> "Good. I've got to get going."
> Ensure we have everything we came with, belongings and clothes, then start for the mansion's exit.
Daiko:
> Vision Yuuka as we approach the group.
Yuuka-V!Daiko:
> "This is a contacting thing I can do with most people. It's private, so that's why I'm saying this here. You can go down this path in the library and get to Tsuru. As well as, uh... All the underwear that those "children" of the mother Koakuma stole... Just saying it here if you wanted to be discreet about it... And if you weren't stolen from at all, sorry for assuming."
Yuuka-V!Daiko:
> "It seems so..."
Yuuka-V!Daiko:
> Nod.
> "You just seemed a bit angry, so I wanted to try and resolve the situation before it became one."
Daiko:
> "So?"
> Reminisce on what we've won...
Tsuru:
> Did we find them?
Daiko:
> Look to her.
Tsuru:
> Alright. Store them somewhere and head for the exit.
Daiko:
> "So who exactly... are you?"
Daiko:
> "Well... regardless, that situation was really annoying and troublesome... Dangerous too."
Daiko:
> "And you shouldn't have done it..."
Daiko:
> "You're really letting them get away with too much. Be more responsible."
Tsuru:
>Call across: "That's not savage enough for them!"
Tsuru:
> "Yes..."
Tsuru:
> "No one will know who's is who's. Unless there's names on them, but no one does that, right?"
Tsuru:
> "Then how will you do this? Isn't there someone who does laundry anyways, who's fine to see them? They can just call whoever's pair they find next and give it to them."
Tsuru:
> "Well. It could work then, right?"
Tsuru:
> "So?"
Tsuru:
> "Well, you let your children steal from everyone in the mansion."
Daiko:
> "And you were pretty much believing yourself to be above the consequences of such too. Saying it's just unfortunate that they won't tell or give them up."
Daiko:
> "You should be there for them and teach them right and wrong. If you don't and there's no one else to, they'll grow to make a lot of trouble."
Daiko:
> Frown and look aside...
Daiko:
> Let's... just leave. Head back home already. Having a parent that doesn't care enough about how their family interacts with others...
Niji:
>We there yet?
Arisa:
>We there yet?
Bastet:
>...Uh...
Daiko:
> "What?"
Niji:
>Go faster, then.
Nijisa:
>"Is she OK?"
Bastet:
>...
>Go somewhere private and check.
Daiko:
> "Right..."
Tsuru:
> "Ah... Well, I've got my cape, hat, and... er, what I need, back... Suppose I could get going again..."
>Do we have anything else to do? Otherwise, follow Daiko. Better than risking getting stolen from again. And we'll see what was so important that he didn't want to help us.
Niji:
>I want to make sure you're who you say you are.
Nijisa:
>"She was carrying a giant bowl down the stairs and she tripped. The bowl landed on top of her."
Bastet:
>Sigh of relief.
Daiko:
> "I'm glad I could help."
> Head out.
Tsuru:>Stalk> Follow.
Daiko, Tsuru: Continue.
Tsuru:
> Check... Just to make sure.
Daiko:
>Check, just passively...
Niji:
>That's what I want to make sure of.
Nijisa:
>"That's good."
Bastet:
>...Maybe we should come back later?
Daiko:
> Good. Continue.
Niji:
>...
>Whatever. Keep going.
Nijisa:
>"Marisa was given it as a gift, and she was curious about what it did."
Bastet:
>You know, looking for Rem and Id.
Daiko:
> "Yea-"
Tsuru:
> "Definitely. I'm just glad it's over now."
> Who's she again?
Daiko:
> "Hm..."
Tsuru:
> Here? Strange.
Tsuru:
> "Oh? Well my business here did sort of end..."
Tsuru:
> "Huh... For what?"
Tsuru:
> "Okay. I guess I won't stalk you right now Daiko. Thanks again."
> Use our cape to get there. Be it the entrance or inside.
Daiko:
> Blink and look to Megumi.
Niji:
>Following.
Nijisa:
>How's Marisa's injury looking?
Bastet:
>Mm.
Daiko:
> Keep walking.
> "Are they... doing fine?"
Tsuru:
> Just walk/fly the rest of the way.
> Or maybe vanish. It would be practice...
Daiko:
> "What, um... what exactly was the problem? I know part of it was... wings... I've recently started training abilities, and I wanted to consider if it could be possible to help somehow..."
> Sigh.
> "I'm really piling more and more work and people to help... But when there's a chance to help, you can't just ignore it, right?"
Daiko:
> "Okay..."
Daiko:
> "I believe so..."
Daiko:
> "Later. Take care..."
> Continue home.
Tsuru:
> Was it good practice? Were we getting further/better each time?
> Head in.
Daiko:
> Keep on.
Tsuru:
> Look around.
> Crap... We won't see Sakura for a while. Maybe we should've given her- no, that's stupid. We'll get there eventually. Handing Daiko them would just make things worse.
Daiko:
> Check inventory.
Tsuru:
> Return the hug gently.
> "Hey Charlotte. How has it been?"
Tsuru:
> Giggle.
Niji:
>Softly: "I'm looking for someone."
Bastet:
>Start exiting.
>Hmm...so where to next?
Tsuru:
> "Well, it's better now. There were some thieves going around and stealing stuff... My cape and hat were casualties, as well as my unmentionables... But it's all fine now."
> Wonder if we should kill them for the fact that they probably saw...
Tsuru:
> "Some annoying magic or something..."
>_
Niji:
>"Oh, hello."
>Does she look any different from a normal Niji Red?
Bastet:
>What are some of the major indoor places?
Daiko:
> Progress?
Tsuru:
> "Thanks, but you couldn't see them. Or tell they were nearby. They're being punished now anyways. So, how are all of you?"
Daiko:
> Wave lightly and continue.
Tsuru:
> "That's fantastic!"
Daiko:
> "Y-Yuuka's fine. She should have been led to where they were all grouped at, so..."
Tsuru:
> "Yea. Splendid."
Daiko:
> "Yes... They should be..."
Tsuru:
> "I'll definitely try against it happening."
> Return the hug a bit more.
Daiko:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> "If it's alright with you, a bit of relaxation would be fine. You know, without having to worry about things like that."
> Smile.
Daiko:
> "Uh?"
Tsuru:
> Let her guide us.
Niji:
>"Hi."
Bastet:
>Should we head to the Village? I can't really think of any other indoor place...
Niji:
>Hmm.
>"Yes, hello."
>"Let's just get down to business. Tell me, what's wrong with your disguise?"
Bastet:
>Alright.
>Off we go, then.
Niji:
>"Well, if it's not a disguise, then tell me what caused you to look so different."
Niji:
>Frown.
>"How long have you been out? And how did you get out in the first place?"
Niji:
>"I wouldn't be here if I had made you."
Niji:
>Small sigh.
>"Do I have to explain myself every time? I don't remember creating you. Period."
Niji:
>"How is that not important!?"
Daiko:
> "No explosions, it's fine."
Tsuru:
> "That's fine. The nostalgia should surely kick in hard when I'm with you guys."
Daiko:
> "You're welcome."
> Continue our way.
Tsuru:
> "Hm..."
Daiko:
> Continue towards home.
> Stop by Daiyousei's home.
Tsuru:
> "Sure."
Daiko:
> Check spirits around.
> "Kira?"
Tsuru:
> "Morning~"
> Wave.
Niji:
>"If that was all you wanted, then why are you evading my questions?"
Daiko:
> Vision Daiyousei. Head in and examine the glove. Don't touch.
Tsuru:
> Nod.
Dai-V!Dai:
> "I'll be there in a bit, just stopping by something really quickly..."
> Does he normally have two on, or was this his only one?
> How long ago did we pass here and see him, between that, the whole mansion fiasco, and now?
Tsuru:
> Follow.
> "Alright, just don't throw me at them!"
Niji:
>"If you had just explained what had happened instead of evading like that, this would have been far easier. For both of us."
Daiko:
> What's the color of ours?
> Regardless, pick up the glove.
Tsuru:
> "Hi Corin. I'm really glad you're better."
Niji:
>Sigh.
>Still feel weird?
Daiko:
> Examine it more. Do we get any feelings from it?
> Set it back down.
Tsuru:
> "It's alright... You're well again anyways..."
Daiko:
> Take that and examine it.
Tsuru:
> Nod.
> "I'd hug you, but I'm a bit afraid you aren't fully well yet..."
Niji:
>"Well, I have things to do, so feel free to finish your walk. Just...tell me next time you want to do something, ok?"
Niji:
>...
>Administer pet.
Niji:
>"Shh... it's ok."
Dai-V!Dai:
> Imagine it in the vision.
> "Does this look familiar?"
> Does it?
Tsuru:
> "Sorry."
> Status of others?
Dai-V!Dai:
> "Is that for me?"
> "...Well, I think it is. Next time you get to your home."
Daiko:
> End the vision.
> Return the gem and glove, then start for home.
Tsuru:
> "Alright."
Tsuru:
> "You wouldn't be disturbing me at all, even if you were still like that."
Kiku:
> What were we doing?
> Did we ever get... stolen from? If so, are we returned to normal?
Niji:
>Pet a little longer, but we have stuff to do...like checking out what's up with this odd feeling.
>"Well, like I said, I should get going..."
Tsuru:
> Nod.
Kiku:
> "Excuse me? Where are... those, now? I still sort of need to get mine back..."
Niji:
>"Have fun with your walk."
>Start walking to the library.
Niji:
>Backhand wave.
Tsuru:
> Resume following.
Kiku:
> "How would she even know mine though?"
Niji:
>"Hmm?"
Tsuru:
> "I'm not busy now. I hope I can accompany you all a lot more now."
Kiku:
> "You... don't know... That's a bit reassuring..."
Tsuru:
> Nod.
Kiku:
> Wait then...
Tsuru:
> "Surely."
Tsuru:
> "Or they visited us."
Niji:
>"What's wrong?"
Tsuru:
> Giggle.
Tsuru:
> "I'm coming along, don't worry~ I'm not slow enough that you have to drag me Charlotte."
Niji:
>Softly. "Do you not like her or something?"
Tsuru:
> "It's fine."
Niji:
>Softly. "Don't trust her?"
Tsuru:
> Keep following.
Niji:
>Softly: "Uhh. Bad question."
>Softly: "Let me try again: Do you trust her?"
Niji:
>We're out of her earshot, right?
>If so, use a normal voice.
>"Yeah, me neither. I'll probably just keep tabs on her or something."
>...Hmm. Idea.
>Try to create Niji Red.
Niji:
>About what I expected, but it had to be tested.
>Speaking of keeping tabs on her, might as well check now.
Tsuru:
> "Are you sure you wouldn't like to join?"
Niji:
>Continue walking.
Niji:
>To the library.
Tsuru:
> "Okay."
Daiko:
> Progress?
Kiku:
> Do we have ours?
Tsuru:
> "Well... Let's all enjoy some time later then, please. When all of us are together."
Tsuru:
> "Please do more than consider it? You can't just look by while we do everything..."
Tsuru:
> "Please do more than guess?"
Tsuru:
> "Thank you."
> Watch Warmly.
Tsuru:
> "Any? There's a lot, I guess..."
> Status of others?
>Bastet is feeling left out.
Niji:
>Look for Patchouli.
Nijisa:
>"Oh, I think Marisa is waking up!"
Tsuru:
> Continue.
Daiko:
> Re-notify Keine and continue on towards our planned destination.
Tsuru:
> Ask any general questions we feel from our past and such. Especially regarding... Whatever was brought up in the mansion. Hypnosis.
Daiko:
> Continue...
Tsuru:
> Do so then.
Daiko:
> Wave.
> "Sorry for the wait."
Tsuru:
> Accept it and nod.
Daiko:
> "Great moment?"
Tsuru:
> "Was that all?"
Daiko:
> Blink.
> "Uh..."
Daiyousei:
> "She learned it, she means."
Tsuru:
> "Do... you know hypnosis? Or something similar?"
Daiyousei:
> Hug her a bit.
Tsuru:
> "Charlotte?"
Daiyousei:
> "If you have to sleep, let's at least get inside first."
> Look up.
> "Uh, can we go inside?"
Daiko:
> "Oh, right."
> Open the door and hold it open for them.
Niji:
>Approach.
Nijisa:
>"Hi!"
Daiko:
> Head in and close after everyone's in.
> "So, the matter was teaching Christine and getting help for Aya... but what else?"
Tsuru:
> "Really?"
Daiko:
> "Ah, right."
Tsuru:
> "Chloe didn't agree to join though..."
Daiko:
> "Huh..."
Tsuru:
> Watch... a bit worriedly.
Daiko:
> "What about Niko?"
Tsuru:
> "What is it?"
Daiko:
> "Huhh... Do you know where they're from?"
Tsuru:
> "Yes...?"
Daiko:
> "Near?"
Tsuru:
> "Of course. I planned to when you called me over."
Daiko:
> "Huh."
Tsuru:
> "Yea."
Niji:
>"Hi."
Nijisa:
>Help Marisa up.
Daiko:
> "Well, Nina said she was looking for a book, I think..."
Tsuru:
> "Ah."
> Think of how sad she would get if we said we had something new and important to do and couldn't stay... That would break her, we can't do iiit.
Niji:
>"Uh, how concerned should I be about absorbing one of those light orbs?"
Nijisa:
>"You fell down some stairs and knocked yourself out."
Niji:
>"Oh."
Nijisa:
>Watch.
Daiko:
> "Were there any requests for books at the school? Or did anything happen here while you were waiting on me?"
> "Also, could we head to the lake for a moment? To Daiyousei's house?"
Daiyousei:
> "What? I-I don't want my situation to be a bother for them too."
Tsuru:
> "It might just be with-... Actually, could you try it again?"
Daiko:
> "Hm?"
Tsuru:
> Watch.
Kiku:
> Head to Sakuya.
Niji:
>Nod.
Nijisa:
>"We don't know what it does, Marisa..."
Daiko:
> "There was something left there for her by someone."
> Smirk a little.
> "Maybe a secret admirer..."
Tsuru:
> "I'd gladly do all I can to help..."
Kiku:
> Glance to see if we can find ours.
> "Lovely."
Daiyousei:
> "I-I doubt that!"
Daiko:
> "Well, we just have to see what's up with it, don't we?"
Tsuru:
> "If I didn't try, what kind of sister would I be?"
Daiyousei:
> "It won't be that. I can check just by myself. It'd be quick too."
Daiko:
> "Why don't you then?"
Tsuru:
> Nod.
> "If I didn't try, what kind of sister would I be? It's the same for you too."
Kiku:
> "Yes."
> Retrieve them!
Niji:
>"...Sorry."
Nijisa:
>"It didn't seem to do anything though..."
Daiyousei:
> "Leave a spot right here safe for me."
> Warp above our home!
Tsuru:
> "Was that alllll?"
Kiku:
> Finally clothe ourself.
Daiyousei:
> Head in and see what it's all about.
Tsuru:
> "Huh?"
Kiku:
> "What?"
Niji:
>"...ok..."
Nijisa:
>"Mmm."
Daiyousei:
> Pick it up.
Tsuru:
> Giggle.
Kiku:
> Blink.
> Look around.
> "I-It's not like anyone's seeing anyways. And it's a quick second."
Daiyousei:
> Check.
Tsuru:
> "Maybe it'd be good."
Kiku:
> Haven't we finished by now? It's just a quick motion or two.
Niji:
>"I'll...just be off then..."
Nijisa:
>"Weren't you making something to eat, Alice?"
Niji:
>"What about her?"
Nijisa:
>Follow.
Niji:
>Frown.
>"What will you do with her?"
Nijisa:
>Is anything still on fire?
Niji:
>"How?"
Nijisa:
>Watch.
Daiyousei:
> "Oh..."
> Take and examine it.
> Put the other glove on in the meantime. Does it look good on us?
Tsuru:
> "Heed your word like you're someone close I can always trust."
> Smile.
Kiku:
> Regardless, finish now.
Daiyousei:
> Pocket the rock and warp back to the exact place we were before.
Tsuru:
> "I... don't think you'd be bad."
Kiku:
> Finish up.
Niji:
>"Then no."
Nijisa:
>"Yeah, looks like it."
Daiyousei:
> "It wasn't anyone, it seems. Just a little thing."
Daiko:
> "Oh. So you just put it on?"
Daiyousei:
> "Uh... Yea. Is that bad?"
> Examine the glove.
Tsuru:
> Shrug.
> "Alright."
Kiku:
> "Yes."
Niji:
>Wasn't expecting that...
>"U-uh, yeah, that's right!"
Nijisa:
>Return to Marisa.
Daiyousei:
> "Why was this just in my house anyways...?"
Daiko:
> Futuresight Daiyousei.
Tsuru:
> "Huh... Was I... always with you?"
Kiku:
> "Thanks a ton."
Niji:
>Look down at Yuudachi.
Nijisa:
>"Hmm?"
Daiko:
> "Well, we know of someone who wears gloves like this, so it's a possibility. Though I already saw who left it. I'm not just telling~"
> Futuresight Kira.
Tsuru:
> What do we recall of her?
Kiku:
> "Yes."
> Head back to the group.
Daiko:
> Cease.
> Try for ourself....
Tsuru:
> "I wonder where she is..."
Kiku:
> "Is everything alright?"
Daiko:
> Try to see aroundthe sea
Tsuru:
> "...Could we ever try to go there?"
Kiku:
> Just speak in general.
Niji:
>Smile in return.
Nijisa:
>"Let me check."
>Check.
Daiko:
> Stop it.
Tsuru:
> "Ah."
Kiku:
> "I suppose."
Daiko:
> "Tried to vision myself again... It doesn't usually go well..."
> Try for our mother.
Tsuru:
> "Maybe we could try something when we're all together."
Kiku:
> Ponder...
> Nah, we have ours, no need to snoop around.
> What were we busy doing before all of this?
Daiko:
> "But... I'm curious."
Tsuru:
> "I suppose."
Daiko:
> "Curiosity isn't a person. It's a thing. When you wanna know something, that's usually curiosity. Wanting to know something is called being curious."
> "Keine? Could we hover over the problem with helping Aya?"
> Quests.
Tsuru:
> Giggle.
Niji:
>Pat.
>We should probably go find "Red" again.
>Return to where we were, if we can find it.
Nijisa:
>"Well, I don't see any cracks..."
Daiko:
> "I don't think I could just get up on a stage and tell everyone that she's not a bad person... This won't be easy."
Tsuru:
> "Mm... Thanks. I wonder if I'm still as good as you say I was..."
Niji:
>Hmm, a good idea.
>Let's do that.
Nijisa:
>"Sure! What am I looking for?"
Daiko:
> "I'm pretty sure that they would tear her limb from limb before she got to utter a word... This is an extremely puzzling problem... Alright, imagine something that hates something else more than anything else in the world... If we get them face to face, they're likely going to ignore everything else until they're satisfied, so showing Aya is a bad idea, but being with her there might be tolerable..."
Tsuru:
> "You sure do put a lot of trust in me..."
Niji:
>Where is she going?
>Right, time to exit as well.
>Preferably through the same exit?
Nijisa:
>"What's it called?"
Daiko:
> "Ah... What if it's someone that everyone would love more than they hate Aya? If there were a terrible villain, but a cute little yam- p-puppy was protecting it, wouldn't they have to listen to the puppy?"
Daiyousei:
> Do we have any ideas?
Tsuru:
> "Because my memory isn't great right now..."
Daiko:
> Nod.
Daiyousei:
> "What about Keine?"
Tsuru:
> "Ehe, I guess..."
Daiko:
> "You're like the spokesperson for the village."
Tsuru:
> "It's a bit tough to..."
Nijisa:
>"Alright."
>"Anything else?"
Daiko:
> "Then all hope is lost..."
Tsuru:
> "Did I have any middle names?"
Daiko:
> "Not really. We need a bit more planning on what Keine will say."
> Vision Aya and Keine.
Tsuru:
> "Ruru..."
> Try to recall more.
Nijisa:
>"Ok!"
>Upstairs we go.
Nijisa:
>Neato.
>Open the door and step inside.
Daiko:
> "We've decided that Keine has to say something, since she's the only one that can get to the villagers... We don't know anyone else that close to everyone..."
Tsuru:
> Keep recalling...
V!Daiko:
> Ah, I suppose repeat that in vision.
Tsuru:
> Feel a bit sad that she's not here...
V!Daiko:
> "Yea, she has a right to be nervous... This is really a huge situation..."
Tsuru:
> Try moooore.
V!Daiko:
> Nod nod.
Tsuru:
> "I wish she were here..."
Nijisa:
>Should've expected that...
>Man, how the heck does Marisa open this??
>Can we see the book?
Nijisa:
>Well, as long as light can get through, we can too.
>Turn into light and get in there.
V!Daiko:
> "So how will we do this?"
Tsuru:
> "New friends..."
V!Daiko:
> "It's our start. You've given us a 1 day time limit on this you know..."
Tsuru:
> "Mmm... That's... fine..."
V!Daiko:
> "Y-You kiddiiiiing!? W-Wait, maybe we can use this to help? Uhh..."
> Consider...
> "Ahhh, maybe we caaan't."
Tsuru:
> "Do you think she forgot me?"
V!Daiko:
> "And you forgot to toooo?"
Tsuru:
> "Like... moved on... New friends, instead of old ones."
Nijisa:
>My goodness.
>Jeez, why'd she think we would be able to find the book???
>Are there any books not on the floor?
Nijisa:
>How deep is the book layer?
>Best to keep things organized.
>Pick a corner and start looking. Set unrelated books in a stack beside you.
Niji:
>Uh oh...
>Pick up the pace!
Nijisa:
>Hours!? It's that deep!?
>We need to be more efficient...
>Turn the stack into a pile.
>Also, sorta kick around the room and see if you can see the book first.
Niji:
>Tackle.
V!Daiko:
> "Uugh..."
Tsuru:
> "Right... I must've forgotten when she suffocated me..."
Nijisa:
>Darn it.
>Gonna have to do it methodically.
Niji:
>Oops.
>Try and swim up.
V!Daiko:
> You know she'd make it a public execution..."
Tsuru:
> "Shaddup."
V!Daiko:
> "I'm trying my best. Hm.."
> Futuresight Aya.
Tsuru:
> "Would either of you mind taking the hit this time?"
V!Daiko:
>Try for Keine.
Tsuru:
> "I mean get suffocated instead of me."
V!Daiko:
> ...Try to futuresight both of them at once?
Tsuru:
> "A-Ah. Hey Mayu..."
V!Daiko:
> "This is the best we have right now anyways... Do either of you have any idea what could calm them down in the situation of getting to see Aya in person?"
Tsuru:
> "Don't suffocate me!"
> Hold our hands up defensively.
V!Daiko:
> "Okay, there's the plan. Aya shows up with Keine. The villagers get ready to push Keine away and viciously maul the tengu, but they get stopped before they can by announcements for the huge danmaku festival, led by theirs truly." Point to Aya. "And with that, you apologize for whatever may have gone down previously, and assure that this event will be taken seriously by you."
> Point to Keine.
> "Then you say that you hope everyone else takes it seriously too, and uh... T-That's as much as I thought..."
Tsuru:
> "With those balloons."
> "W-What's with the part of letting them viciously maul me?!"V!Daiko:
---
> "B-Balloons...?"
> Mayu looks down... and pouts.
> "Hey, they aren't balloons. They just are big..."
> _
V!Daiko:
> "They won't get to it. I said stopped you know."
Tsuru:
> "Cannonballs then. If you ran into someone with those, they'd get knocked out."
Niji:
>Start dragging her back towards the library.
>"I'm taking you in for questioning."
>Try to keep a two-handed grip for as long as possible.
Niji:
>What is she currently wearing?
Niji:
>So she could sit and put it on?
Niji:
>Drag her to her dress.
>"Sit down and put it on."
>Don't release her until she's fully sat.
Niji:
>Great.
>Grab her again and drag her to the library.
Niji:
>If we need to slow down to keep our grip on her, do so.
>Do we recognize that name?
Niji:
>Slow to a stop.
>"Oh..."
Niji:
>"Ahh! How did I forget about her!?"
Niji:
>Join her.
Niji:
>AAAAAH FORGOT ABOUT YUUDACHI
>Create... uh... Niji Yellow! She'll watch over her while we do stuff!
>Pat Yuudachi.
>Would it be possible to give her a "suntan" of sorts? ie focus light on her to heat her up?
Niji Yellow:
>Try that, but don't go overboard. Perhaps feel it to make sure it's not going to burn Yuudachi.
Niji:
>Get ready to return to the Fairy World.
V!Daiko:
> "Well again, this is the most we have right now..."
Tsuru:
> "I can understand that, but I'm still talking about how you shouldn't bash into me with those."
Niji:
>"I'm not going to forget my friend again!"
Niji Yellow:
>That would work, yeah.
V!Daiko:
> "We have to pull this off..."
Tsuru:
> ...Would we really like a flatter Mayu doing such to us, rather than she is now? Honestly?
Daiko:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> Would it be worse if she was smaller though? If it's the same situation, but just a smaller Mayu, consider if it's better or worse... Our face would be seen more if it wasn't big enough to cover, and we could still suffocate unless it's really small, which means we get a bit more of a harder knock instead of a soft one...
> Maybe it's fine that she's bigger, compared to the alternative...
Daiko:
> "A start. For sure."
Tsuru:
> It'd be woooorse. We decided.
> But if we could... Maybe we should practice such sometime. On ourself. Doing it to someone else would be dangerous.
Daiko:
> "Hopefully..."
Tsuru:
> It's a start. For now, back to what we were doing before.
> "Anyways, do you want some, Mayu?"
Niji:
>"Hmm?"
Niji Yellow:
>Wait. Does the light ball produce heat?
V!Daiko:
> "We should have them see her all at once... if it's a little at a time, they'll protest and it'll get out of control before everyone can be gathered... Maybe we can tell about the good Aya has done? Alongside that speech we planned?"
Tsuru:
> "Not even a little room for tea?"
Niji:
>"Yeah!"
Niji Yellow:
>Put it next to Yuudachi if it's not already.
V! Daiko:
> "Well... What have you done good, actually? It's not like I research you and stuff..."
Tsuru:
> Enjoy more.
V!Daiko:
> "Aside from that? Help anyone specific?"
Tsuru:
> "You're singing? Where?"
V!Daiko:
> "You know, not many people even give Reimu the recognition she deserves. Have you seen her donation box? So that's not a very good thing to use..."
Tsuru:
> "Hmph. You know, I was thinking of if we could perform for everyone here sometime... Maybe get the family together, all of us who have lost their memories..."
Niji:
>Jump in too.
Niji Yellow:
>Smile.
V!Daiko:
> "No, not really. Just that solving incidents with Reimu won't get recognized much, since she hasn't been recognized from it either. I mean, that recent thing with the children missing was big, so solving that would get everyone's attention. Now... who helped that again...?"
Tsuru:
> "Still, it might be hard to do that..."
V! Daiko:
> "What were you busy with instead?"
Tsuru:
> "I do now, you say? "
V!Daiko:
> "Could that probably help in the confrontation?"
Tsuru:
> "R-Really? This instant?"
Niji:
>Dive too!
Niji Yellow:
>Indeed.
>Relax a little, but keep an eye on Yuudachi to make sure no one steals her or something.
Niji:
>Dive too!
Niji Yellow:
>Indeed.
>Relax a little, but keep an eye on Yuudachi to make sure no one steals her or something.
V!Daiko:
> "Hm... We still need to plan out more of this situation... And maybe back ups in case it goes wrongly..."
Tsuru:
> "Maybe it does come magically~"
V!Daiko:
> "You want to wing it?"
Tsuru:
> "Huh... Well, still need to get everyone together..."
Niji:
>Wave if we can.
Niji Yellow:
>Sweep out an area to sit in, then try to melt the remaining snow with a second light ball.
Nijisa:
>How far in are we?
Bastet:
>We there yet?
V!Daiko:
> "Ugh, let's... Let's just have you go like nothing wrong is happening, but we'll just be with you. If they start getting wiled up because it's... well, you, then we'll try our best to calm the situation and stuff, alright?"
Tsuru:
> "Well we don't really know where all of them are. And it's not like we have a sort of signal we can shoot into the air that all of them would come to..."
V!Daiko:
> Nod.
> "So we just meet up, then start the announcement and such there."
Tsuru:>"How did you do that heart thingy with your face?"
> "It would be sorta useful right now..."
Niji:
>Try to find whatever it is she's looking at.
Niji Yellow:
>Sit when it's suitably dry.
Nijisa:
>How much of the room has been searched?
Bastet:
>Yes?
Niji:
>Is it the crack we're looking for?
>If we can't wave, at least raise our hand or something.
Niji Yellow:
>Pet.
Nijisa:
>Uuuuuuughhhh.
>Why does she have so many books!?
>We're done here. Stand up and return to Marisa.
>...Just out of curiosity, how tall was the pile?
Bastet:
>That makes sense.
>We're in plain sight of people, right?
>>If so, say "We could drop by Daiko's house for privacy, if you'd like."
>>If not, say "We could try doing it now..."
V!Daiko:
> "I hope so too..."
Tsuru:
> "That' won't work. That'd only work if they were all looking at that spot in the sky at the same time..."
V!Daiko:
> "Mhm."
Tsuru:
> "And what if they're asleep?"
Niji:
>?
>Slow down a little.
Niji Yellow:
>Will that hurt?
Nijisa:
>Eh.
>Head downstairs.
Bastet:
>Alright, let's go there then?
Niji:
>Shake our head in return. This is a vital mission!
>Don't try to resist her though. We're probably not good enough swimmers to beat her and it'd probably be easier just to explain the situation.
Niji Yellow:
>Move the light ball out of reach.
>"No, Yuudachi, that's dangerous. I think."
Nijisa:
>"I couldn't find it! Your room is so messy!"
Bastet:
>Head there.
V!Daiko:
> "Mhm. Just try to make this vision happen."
Tsuru:
> "Don't be a disturbance to others not involved..."
Niji:
>"But we left someone in there!"
Niji Yellow:
>Pet.
>"I know, but I don't want you getting burnt, ok?"
Nijisa:
>Shake head.
>"Your floor is covered with a waist-high sea of books! How do you walk around in there!?"
Bastet:
>Enter once we get there and head somewhere secluded.
Daiko:
> "Well then... here's hoping it all goes well when the time comes..."
Tsuru:
> "You can't just trance everyone. That's...irresponsible."
Niji:
>"That's... worrying."
Niji Yellow:
>Sigh.
>"I wish I could let you, but I'd rather not see you injured."
Nijisa:
>Do we think we could carry Marisa?
Bastet:
>Alright, now what?
Niji:
>"But we have to go! People are in danger down there!"
Niji Yellow:
>Pet.
Nijisa:
>Arisa's here too, right?
>>If she is, do we think both of us could carry Marisa?
Bastet:
>A-Alright. Let's hope nothing bad happens...
>We have some experience in this field...so attempt to separate.
Niji:
>"I can't just leave people in there!"
Niji Yellow:
>Small sigh, disappointed that we can't give Yuudachi what she wants.
>Idly pet.
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Try it!
Bastet:
>Let's start by copying what we did to separate from Daiko and see if it works.
>...so yes, we're just going to will for it.
>I'm not sure if this'll work, but just try imagining yourself next to me?
>Follow suit and imagine Oniru next to ourselves.
Daiko:
> "Later... today."
Tsuru:
> "Better to think of a different way..."
Daiko:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> "Er... maybe."
Daiko:
> "She's in a bit of a situation is all..."
Tsuru:
> "P-Pajama party? I don't even have any..."
Daiko:
> "Just... troubling, really."
Tsuru:
> "I'm not sure I trust you... I mean, it's not like anyone knows what I'd love to wear or the exact sizes."
Daiko:
> "Ah, right."
> Check on Christine.
Tsuru:
> "Pajamas for the occasions though...?"
Daiko:
> "Curious?"
Tsuru:
> "Like...?"
Daiko:
> "Your stuff?"
Tsuru:
> "Reunion might be better."
Niji:
>Nod.
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Take a moment if necessary to readjust.
>Try to carry her up the stairs, slowly if necessary.
Bastet:
>Keep going.
Niji:
>Endure it. Hopefully with her help we'll be out of here soon.
>"Th-thank you!"
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Are we holding her above our heads?
Bastet:
>Continue...
Daiko:
> "Ohh."
Tsuru:
> "Still, we need to find out how we'll gathe- Ah. I'm such a fool. I've had a sort of radio between all of them this whole time."
> Try to get Daiko's attention... if we can remember how that method works.
Niji:
>Take a hold of her arm and hold on tight.
>"Alright."
>Also take a deep breath.
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Carry her up, but if necessary, lower Marisa to waist height.
Bastet:
>Well that doesn't sound good...
>Take a look around.
>Also take a look at ourselves.
Niji:
>Keep our grip!
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Keep going.
Bastet:
>Don't worry. Nothing bad is going to happen.
>You ready to try again?
Niji:
>That's kinda worrying...
>Just keep holding on, though.
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Keep going, but be ready to lower her.
Bastet:
>Alright...
>Refocus on giving Oniru her own body.
Niji:
>Definitely don't lose grip now!
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Bring her to her room.
Bastet:
>Keep going!
> You just hope that, wherever that so-called 'hole' or whatever doesn't lead to a colder place...Daiko:
> "T-Then place hold tight."
> She turns and raises her arms backwards a bit, waiting.
> "If you need some... air, just tap me enough to notice."
---
> Over your shoulders. She is basically sitting on Nijisa's right shoulder, and on Arisa's left shoulder.
---
> You continue.
> "W-Wait a second. Wait a second!" You spoke.
> You stop the process.
> "T-That felts strange, give me a minute to rest..." You spoke again.
> "So we'll get to see more stuff? More stuff around?"
> She places the dishes back on the shelf.
---
> You think it was... to will for his attention or something like that. Shouldn't be too hard...
> "A radio?" Mayu blinks.
> You attempt..."
---
> (Daiko) Riiing! Someone calling yooou!
> _
Niji:
>Get ready to enter.
NIjisa & Arisa:
>Let her down.
Bastet:
>Do so, then.
Daiko:
> "Ah?"
V!Daiko:
> Connect with them.
V!Tsuru:
> If it worked, instruct him with getting our amnesiac family together and heading to the other vampire's mansion.
V!Daiko:
> Just connect with all of them and tell her to do it herself...
Niji:
>Hmmm...
>Any way we could signal her would probably be interpreted as "I need air"...
>Uhhh...let's hope that Wakasagihime knows what's going to happen...
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Celebratory high five.
>Follow Marisa.
Bastet:
>"Nope!"
V!Bastet:
>Huh?
>Look around...
>Oh no!!!!
>...Wait, how did Daiko pull in Oniru??? I wouldn't think he would've recognized the fact that Oniru's part of the real world now...
Niji:
>Well, hopefully we'll be in the Fairy World soon...and hope Wakasagihime doesn't get too hurt.
>Keep holding on.
Nijisa:
>"This is cleaner than before!"
Bastet:
>Nod.
>"Maybe we should get you some clothes..."
V!Bastet:
>Rude!
>Pending response from Neo: "Pervert!!"
V!daiko:
> Imagine her the clothes we saw Doremy have!
> "W-Why are you naked!? Tsuru, was this a trap!?"
V!Tsuru:
> "No. I...we wanted our family to come together for something."
Niji:
>Huh?
>Weird...
Nijisa:
>"What?"
Bastet:
>"Yeah..."
>Where are some clothes?
V!Niji:
>"Uhhh...I'm not sure I'll be able to come? Could one of my clones come?"
V!Daiko:
> "You... w-whatever counts as family for you, Tsuru. If you're part of one of them, then you're family, I guess... I don't really have much part in this. I'm basically... the house this family lives in, since you all sorta came from me. But you just leave the house and do your own thing without looking back. Anyways, you do your thing Tsuru."
V!Tsuru:
> "Right... uh... sleepover?"
V!Niji:
>...
V!Bastet:
>"Sleepover?"
V!Tsuru:
> "Sleepover. We all go to this one place and do a bunch of things while we get ready to sleep. It's like... connecting as a family more."
V!Daiko:
> "Side note, but I am pretty confused as to why there's... another, here."
V!Niji:
>Shiver a little.
>"W-Well, that's cool and all, but like I said, I won't be able to come. So c-can one of my clones come instead?"
V!Bastet:
>"That'd be fun! And perfect for Oniru, too!" Playfully nudge Oniru.
>Oh, yeah! Gotta introduce Oniru!
>"Ah! Guys, meet Oniru!" Point at Oniru.
V!Tsuru (and others):
> Introduce ourselves.
V!Niji:
>Introduce ourselves, while being slightly annoyed that we just got ignored twice.
Niji:
>Brr...
>We could probably create a heat source a la Niji Yellow, right?
Nijisa:
>"Uh, no..."
Bastet:
>"Hmm...Maybe the rooms in here have clothes?"
Daiko:
> What were we doing before? Teaching Christine things?
Daiyousei:
> And us?
Kiku:
> How are we?
V!Bastet:
>Oniru something, eh? Interesting...but not that important.
>"Aw, you can come too if you want!"
V!Tsuru:
> "I think it should... probably just be us that comes to the sleepover. You two, Daiko and Orinu, I'm not sure would fit... It should just be family...
V!Bastet:
>"Awww..."
V!Niji:
>"Stop ignoring me!"
V!Daiko:
> "Are you really going to send a fake you instead of the real you to a family thing like this, Niji? That'd be like me just sitting in my room reading and instead of going physically to my own birthday party, just visioning everyone there. Are you too busy to make plans and decide on a time with them that everyone's fine with? Do you not care enough that you just want to get it over with something that's not the true you? I know this isn't my business, but it doesn't have to be this night I assume. Schedule a time to have it. Geez..."
V!Niji:
>"Hey, none of you said a time. I just assumed you all would want it sooner rather than later!"
Niji:
>Try it, I guess.
Nijisa:
>"You own a snake?"
Bastet:
>"I don't think most people would like it..."
Daiko:
> Wonder where she went...
Kiku:
> Nod.
> "Um, it seems my... family, is planning a sleepover... I don't know when it's going to be though..."
Daiko:
> "I think... maybe."
Kiku:
> "Well, I still have to get the time... I'm not sure it's even right now. I'll try to ask her when I can have time, then try to get them available for it then."
V!Kiku:
> "Hey, I'll plan out when we get together okay? I hope it ends up being a little flexible."
V!Tsuru:
> "So... the location."
Tsuru:
> "Er, should I tell them to just come to the front doors when we're having it? I mean, we can't have it yet apparently, some of them are busy."
V!Bastet:
>Oh, yeah.
>"Well, alright..."
Niji:
>Could we make another or bring the light ball close enough to warm both of us?
Nijisa:
>Step out of the room a little.
>"Uh, maybe we should leave?"
Bastet:
>"Sorry, Oniru."
>Step out a little and look up and down the hallway.
Daiko:
> "Okay..."
Kiku:
> "Of course."
> Start for Remilia.
V!Tsuru:
> Repeat what she said to them now.
V!Bastet:
>"Wait, so where is it?"
Niji:
>Make another and move it close to Niji Red.
Nijisa:
>"It's a snake!"
Bastet:
>"...Uh, I don't know where any extra clothes might be. We're going to have to search."
> Kiku: "Yes?"
>Daiko: "Well I could poke you with vision too."
> V!Tsuru: "The Charite household."
V!Bastet & V!Niji:
>We remember where that is, no?
Niji:
>Hopefully it is!
>Keep holding on!
Nijisa:
>Jump.
>"Eep!"
Bastet:
>Was that "the clothes are in the rooms" or "we're going to have to search in the rooms"?
Kiku:
> "That hungry, huh... Well, enjoy your meal♥"
> Continue.
Daiko:
> Nod.
> "See you then!"
> Who's all here?
Tsuru;
> "Everyone does seem to want to come though, so that's good. Just all of us though? Daiko, the guy who we all... sort of used as a catalyst to get here and with these bodies, but he's a guy and not... actually family, I think?"
V!Tsuru:
> "Alright, that's the place..."
V!Bastet:
>"OK."
Niji:
>Breathe.
>Nod.
Nijisa:
>Jump.
>"Eep!"
Bastet:
>Nod.
Kiku:
> We... We could bug Daiko. That's how we got to our other purposes. So bugging him will eventually get us something else to do!
Daiko & Daiyousei:
> Do we think that's enough teaching?
Tsuru:
> "You know. The guy with the ice horn that came when there was the thing about children missing and such..."
Niji:
>Get out.
Nijisa:
>"I heard it..."
Bastet:
>Walk into the hall and start opening doors.
Tsuru:
> "We didn't exactly just come out of nowhere to arrive in Gensokyo..."
Kiku:
> Continue.
Niji:
>"Brr..."
>Bring the light closer, if we can.
Nijisa:
>...
>Look down.
Bastet:
>Try to find some clothes.
Tsuru:
> "Like I said, a catalyst. You could say he's like the bridge that we used to get here."
Kiku:
> Head over there.
> "Excuse me? Do you know where the mistress is?"}
> Everyone's status and goals/quests? It's a bit much to ask, I know, but with how they are right now...
Niji:
>Try to scoot a little out of the way, if we can.
>Look back at Wakasagihime.
>"Thank you so much for doing this."
Nijisa:
>"Uh, Marisa? I found it..."
Bastet:
>In here.
Tsuru:
> Shrug.
Kiku:
> Nod.
Niji:
>To Red: "It's fine."
>Look around as well.
Nijisa:
>Huh.
>"Uh, yeah."
>...Kinda want to pet it...
Bastet:
>Are they wet or anything?
>Call out "Hey, Oniru?"
Daiko:
> "Well... With Aya's situation and Cirno being sleepy, we should probably continue teaching at a later time. Daiyousei, if you want, you could continue teaching them, but I don't think it should be at my house for now. I'm going to explore a little..."
> Search for a magic light in this house. Surely there have been some before...
Daiyousei:
> Welp?
> Lead the two cold girls out and consider where we could go from here...
Kiku:
> "Are you alright?"
Tsuru:
> "Pretty weird. Cooks well, and he's nice I guess."
Niji:
>Are there any fairies around?
Nijisa:
>Pick it up.
>"I wasn't expecting it to be so... so cute!"
Bastet:
>Hold up one of them.
>"Here."
Daiko:
> Continue.
Daiyousei:
> We should have both gloves on and the gem in our pocket...
> Go home~
Kiku:
> "You've been busy at this spot for a while..."
Tsuru:
> "He's like partially 4 species or something and can do weird stuff."
// Hope stuff improves.
Niji:
>Weak wave.
Nijisa:
>Hold it out to Marisa.
>"Here."
Bastet:
>"Unless you want a different design?"
Niji:
>"Hey, have any of you guys seen Marry?"
>Describe her.
Nijisa:
>Watch.
Bastet:
>Re offer.
>"Here, then."
Niji:
>...
>"Never mind."
>Turn back to our partners.
>"So now what?"
Nijisa:
>"Wh-wha..."
Bastet:
>It's not ideal, but it's for the greater good...
Niji:
>How dry are we? And how dry is Red?
Nijisa:
>"H-how did you find it so fast? I spent so long searching for it!"
Bastet:
>Wait for her to finish.
Daiko:
> Absorb some into our horn.
Daiyousei:
> "My home."
Kiku:
> "Want some help?"
Tsuru:
> "Yuki onna, well, a guy version. Oni. Human...
Niji:
>Ugh.
>Maybe Red was onto something with that shaking...
>Our clothes are soaked as well, are they not?
Nijisa:
>"..."
>"Never mind..."
>Mutter a little.
Bastet:
>"Hey, you look pretty good in it!"
Niji:
>Maybe? It would probably avoid hypothermia...
>Wait, no! That's not happening!
>Shake head a bit to clear those thoughts!
Nijisa:
>"I could try to carry the mushroom up to you instead."
Bastet:
>Nod.
>"Yeah!"
Daiko:
> Head down into the basement basement. The one that was pretty much pitch black.
Daiyousei:
> "My home's not as great as most... Especially not where we just were, and, it's probably in worse shape right now... but I hope it's comfortable when we stop there for a bit."
Kiku:
> "...No you aren't..."
> Crouch down.
> "Are you sure nothing's wrong? I've got ears if you need someone to listen to you."
> Try to wiggle them.
Tsuru:
> "Do you like... want him to come here too, or go to him? I could probably try to get him to come right now if he's not busy in fact."
Daiko:
> Start to go around. Mentally make a map in our head as we go on...
Daiyousei:
> "Well, you probably won't think it's too great when you do anyways..."
Kiku:
> "Hmmm?"
> Wave our tail some.
Tsuru:
> "It's nothing like that, I can assure you.."
> Aside from the help with our underwear...
V!Tsuru:
> "Daiko, could you visit the Charite household sometime? Preferably asap. It's nothing serious, but some want to actually meet you here."
V!Daiko:
> "Oh. Sure, I can come right now..."
Daiko:
> Never mind searching down here for now. Another day... Start for the other vampire's household, but do keep the light with us, to see how long it can last, and if we can maybe do something more with it...
Niji:
>"N-Nothing..."
Nijisa:
>"You sure, Alice?"
Bastet:
>She still needs undergarments, right?
Niji:
>"Sorry, I was thinking of something else."
>Light blush.
>"A-Anyways, I'm not sure what our best choice is..."
Nijisa:
>"OK!"
>Head downstairs and grab that mushroom!
Bastet:
>Man, how are we going to break this to her?
>"Yeah...uh...I nearly forgot that there are more clothes to wear..."
Daiko:
> Continue.
Daiyousei:
> "Let's just... get there..."
> Continue.
Kiku:
> Look over to the wall.
> "Hmm?"
Tsuru:
> "Oh. He's coming over right now."
Bastet:
>Maybe inform her that clothes mostly protect from cold weather? It's relevant, right?
Daiko:
> Better hurry up.
Kiku:
> "Why?"
Tsuru:
> "It's another weird thing about him. He can... sort of talk with people that are far away. Apparently if you try hard enough, you can make him notice you. It's like having a door to his room anywhere, and you just knock on it to get his attention. Though I wonder... One of you should try it. Just, really really wish that you could talk to him or something. Maybe it'll work."
Kiku:
> "What was her name? How did she look?"
Tsuru:
> "Not exactly wish, but will really hard."
Kiku:
> Nod.
Daiko:
> Vision.
Niji:
>"Yeah, but... how should we go about this? Should we search as a team? Should we split up?"
>Does the entrance to the Fairy World contain any rivers leading out or the like?
Nijisa:
>"Huh?"
>Watch.
Bastet:
>"Er, yeah... let me see if I can show you an example..."
>Assuming that there's like a laundry basket of some sort, rummage through it and search for an example.
PPE: Point noted.
Kiku:
> "Did she... neglect the job?"
Tsuru:
> "Huh... Now it sounds easy."
Daiko:
> Vision again...
Charlotte-V!Daiko:
> "Ah. Did you need something? I was sort of coming here after being asked to..."
Kiku:
> "Did she say anything weird to the mistress then?"
> Remember the details of that fairy.
...Flashi-V!Daiko:
> "Yes."
Charlotte-V!Daiko:
> "Oh. You know it'd be easier to just talk like this instead of having me travel there. The path isn't exactly a safe walk in the park..."
Kiku:
> "Do you think... she wanted to leave?"
Mayu-V!Daiko:
> Bring the two visions together. Or stop one and vision the other into it.
Niji:
>Is there?
Nijisa:
>Nod.
>Get ready to lift.
Bastet:
>"Like this."
>Hold them up.
>"The bottom one's " Gesture to bottom ones. " to protect your, uh..."
>Gesture.
>"...parts, while the top one's " Gesture to top ones. " are to protect up here." More gesturing.
Kiku:
>Blink.
V!Daiko:
>"Easier?"
Kiku:
> "Hm... I wonder if she did..."
> Continue on towards Remilia.
Mayu-Charlotte-V!Daiko:
> "It's pretty much imagination. You can imagine whatever you want into here. Your entire mansion... A giant comfortable bed... Even food. But at best, it's still imagination. You might get feelings from stuff like if I showed something sad here, but it's not really real..."
Niji:
>"Uh, in theory it should be safe..."
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Nod.
>Lift!
Bastet:
>"Sadly not. Some people like to take pictures under girls' skirts..."
Niji:
>??
>"Wha..."
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Carefully move the mushroom up the stairs.
Bastet:
>"Because they're perverts!"
Bastet:
> "Perverts are people that don't feel shame for intruding in peoples private matters and do lewd things without care for the people."
Daiko/Daiyousei:
> Have we reached our destinations yet?
Kiku:
> "I'm not too sure I should get involved with this yet... but... It's a consideration..."
Mayu-Charlotte-V!Daiko:
> "Yea, I guess."
Niji:
>"U-uh..."
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Slow down if necessary.
Bastet:
>"Some can and are that bad."
Niji:
>Struggle a little.
>"B-Bye, I guess?"
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Continue.
Bastet:
>"Yeah..."
Kiku:
> Continue on.
V!Daiko:
> "Sort of, yea."
Daiyousei:
> Head to our house...
V!Daiko:
> "Well, to start... There was this voice in my head one day... That said it was me, and knew most of my life, pretty much. It was almost like they were trapped in me though, as they could only sometimes take over my body when I let them. It'd be a slightly different body too. Eventually, I found out there were these boxes of sorts in me too. And they were connected to the voices in my head. A bit of messing with those and figuring out myself, I found out how to give them their own body, separate from my own."
Niji Yellow:
>How's Yuudachi?
Niji:
>"...Let's hope this isn't bad???"
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Finish the trip.
Bastet:
>Watch.
>If she goes to put it on, look away politely.
Niji Yellow:
>Staring into space, I guess.
Niji:
>"W-Well, bye Wakasagahime!"
Nijisa & Arisa:
>How much more stair to climb?
Bastet:
>Nod.
V!Daiko:
> "It was weird..."
Daiyousei:
> "Yea... Someone broke it, and it wasn't fixed yet... That's why I said it wasn't that great."
> Get the gem if it's still there.
> And check for anything in here missing...
V!Daiko:
> "...Basically freed them from... like, my soul or my mind."
Daiyousei:
> Take glove.
V!Daiko:
> "A few..."
Daiyousei:
> "Uh, you won't try to fight them, right?"
> Take it out?
Niji:
>Time to wait, then.
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Keep going.
Bastet:
>Look back.
V!Daiko:
>"Well, yes."
Daiyousei:
> "It wasn't anything big, then..."
> Pocket it...
> Wear the glove.
Nijisa & Arisa:
>Well, it would have also been easier to throw Marisa down the stairs...
>But, too late now. Bring it over to Marisa.
Bastet:
>Look away!
>"U-uh, yeah, that's good..."
Daiyousei:
> Does it feel like the other one?
V!Daiko:
> "I'm not really sure what it was... You know I have this... vision, ability. I didn't really know of anything else when those boxes started showing up."
Daiyousei:
> Let's go to clean it.
> "Someone left a glove here..."
V!Daiko:
> Futuresight both of them, one by one.
> "There's a bit more to it than just communicating with others far away..."
Daiyousei:
> "Someone... that's already dead by now..."
Mayu-Charlotte-V!Daiko:
> "Mayu? You're considering playing at a stage soon with a lot of viewers, are you not? And Charlotte, a bit thirsty? Not something I would recommend though..."
Daiyousei:
> "More questiooons?"
V!Daiko:
> "Er? did either of those make sense?"
Daiyousei:
> "Well they're not alive anymore..."
V!Daiko:
> "E-Erm? A bit embarrassing... uh, I can do more with my vision than just that though, I mean... Uh..."
> Future vision both, but try to make it only a few minutes from now...
Daiyousei:
> "Do you really need to know?"
V!Daiko:
> Try to listen in on that future...
> "Can I see what?"
Daiyousei:
> Start to wash.
> "What if it were you?"
V!Daiko:
> "If I knew, I'd be trying more for people that needed me..."
> Try to future even sooner. Only seconds away. Interrupt them by saying what they would have next if we succeed.
Daiyousei:
> "R-Right. Sorry."
V!Daiko:
> "Well, like how I helped Tsuru and the others..."
> Still, say what they would in reality.
Daiyousei:
> Keep on...
> "N-Nothing..."
Tsuru:
> "Yea..."
V!Daiko:
> "That's what I mean with more to the vision things..."
Nijisa:
>Haha, yeah! What a ridiculous thought!
>...
>Move a few steps away anyways.
Bastet:
>Is that all?
Daiyousei:
> "Okay, it was someone that's helping me..."
Tsuru:
> "Mayu? Charlotte?"
V!Daiko:
> "Tsuru warned you that I'm weird, didn't she? That's not something I can do really often either, so don't come to ask me to predict what someone will do..."
Nijisa:
>Watch.
Bastet:
>"Still have one more thing..."
>Hold it up.
Nijisa:
>?
>Wonder what she figured out...
Bastet:
>Look away again.
Daiyousei:
> "They cared more about help than my house."
Tsuru:
> Chuckle a bit.
V!Daiko:
> Shrug
Nijisa:
>"A... drill???"
Bastet:
>"Oh! Uh, let me help."
>Assist.
Daiyousei:
> "Something with these gloves, if I recall correctly..."
V!Daiko:
> "What's with the huge interview though... I'm not even physically there yet..."
Daiyousei:
> "This one has to dry..."
V!Daiko:
> "Wait, so this is all you wanted?"
Nijisa:
>Really looks like a mad scientist now...
>"What are you going to do with it?"
Bastet:
>Assist.
Nijisa:
>"Neat! Where'd you get this Drill Syringe from?"
Bastet:
>"U-uh, it's nothing..."
>Go faster.
Daiyousei:
> "I'll put it on..."
V!Daiko:
> "But... is that it?"
Daiyousei:
> "The gloves are helpful more than just against weather or to stop me from hurting myself. So unless I get some magical socks, probably not..."
V!Daiko:
> "Er, you're having a party aren't you? Is it really fine for me to be there when I'm a guy? Ah, right, that's another time..."
Daiyousei:
> "It's specific to help me..."
V!Daiko:
> "That's unfortunate to hear."
Niji:
>Sheep!
Nijisa:
>...
>Eh-heh...really hope she's not about to go full blown mad scientist...
Bastet:
>Step back quickly!
>"Alright, done!"
Niji:
>Maybe a little worrying...
>Let's hope for the best though.
Nijisa:
>Let's watch what happens.
Bastet:
>"Sorry."
Daiyousei:
> "Magic."
V!Daiko:
> "Uh, you can see all of me here, so I don't need to come, right?"
Niji:
>Yeah, really hope nothing bad is about to happen.
Nijisa:
>Is anything happening?
Bastet:
>She's put everything back on, right?
Niji:
>Look around.
Nijisa:
>Hmm.
Bastet:
>"Alright, now what?"
Daiyousei:
> "I'm not the one who made them magic. The person that helped me was."
V!Daiko:
> "Alright..."
> Are we there yet?
Daiyousei:
> "Not in the right way... If the magic you used to freeze stuff was in clothes, then it'd be like that..."
V!Daiko:
> "Tried anything?"
Niji:
>Quite pristine.
Nijisa:
>Bloody hell!
>Er, no, just blood.
>So weird...and a little creepy.
Bastet:
>"If you need more time to get used to things, we don't have to leave yet."
Daiyousei:
> "You could get stronger by wearing more clothes!"
V!Daiko:
> "...Excuse me?"
Niji:
>Hmm.
>"U-Uhh..."
Nijisa:
>There's nothing we can do except watch in horror...
>aaaaaaaah
Bastet:
>"You sure?"
Daiyousei:
> "I told you these were special to me. Maybe we can meet someone who can make strong clothes for you."
V!Daiko:
> "Did I tried anything against..."
> Realize.
> "T-That's insulting! They're in a time of need where I have to find out how to get them their own body and help them get their memories back, and you think I'd stoop to such a level to do anything like that!?"
Niji:
>Nod.
>"Yes, those are sheep."
Nijisa:
>I must say, the Drill Syringe lives up to its name!
Bastet:
>"Alright, then..."
>"So I guess we should start looking for them around here?"
Daiyousei:
> "Rinnosuke?"> "Rin Satsuki?"
V!Daiko:
> "Thank you."
Niji:>"Sheep sheep sheep, sheep! Sheep sheep?
>"Let's hope not..."
Nijisa:>"Sheep! Sheep, sheep sheep sheep... sheep sheep! SHEEP!"
>Snort a little.
Bastet:>"Sheep, sheep sheep sheeeeeep!"
>"Alright."
>What level of the basement are we on again?
