Reimu Quest (Part 9)

[日巫子]

> Remember the distinct sensations each part of the drawing gives us.
> Examine the dandelions. We know you're up to no good!

> You go over the drawing once more, committing the sensations you feel to memory.
> You take a look at the dandelions.  They're not doing anything, just sitting there.  Pretty.

>Can we tie that  popping sensation to anything else we've experienced?

> You likened the tickling sensation to the candy you had once before, but other than that, you can't think of anything else.

[Hello Purvis]

>Do the wings strike us as familiar at all? In the sense of someone having them, or them being a recurring motif in a thing we are familiar with, or something else?

[日巫子]

>Do the wings strike us as familiar at all? In the sense of someone having them, or them being a recurring motif in a thing we are familiar with, or something else?

> The number of wings remind you of Sariel, who you fought a long time ago.  She had six wings which, at the time, was impressive to you.

[Sect]

> What's the situation with Makai currently? Is it still connected to Gensokyo?

[Hello Purvis]

>Whatever happened to Sariel, anyways? What was her deal?

A thought regarding shadows: We write a note and place it in front of them. Think they'd react? I mean, assuming we don't do anything else regarding this. I think I'm tapped out at the moment.

[日巫子]

> What's the situation with Makai currently? Is it still connected to Gensokyo?

> You can no longer get to Makai through conventional means.  Not after the incident you had to solve with Mima, Yuuka, and Marisa.  If you want to get to Makai now, you'd have to spend a lot of time and effort making a portal to transport yourself.

>Whatever happened to Sariel, anyways? What was her deal?

> You have met Sariel exactly once, and to this day she still confuses you.  She destroyed your shrine, lured you to the Ruins of Vina, and tried to trap you there.  After a long and frightening fight, you managed to distract her long enough to escape back to Gensokyo.  You have no idea how she knew who you were or why she wanted you, but you're sure if you were to meet her again, she'd try to pick up right where she left off.

> _

[Sect]

I don't think the shadows actually really matter? Also I shouldn't have asked about Makai: for some reason I thought Sariel was in that game where Reimu beats in Alice's face.

[Hello Purvis]

It's good general data to have.

>Does it feel like we could interact with any of the sensations on this drawing, mystically speaking?

[日巫子]

>Does it feel like we could interact with any of the sensations on this drawing, mystically speaking?

> While the drawing is unusual, you don't think it'd react if you used magic on it.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

So, my thoughts are it's asking us to return to the void. What about you, Godbug?

[Sect]

Might as well.

> Dust ourself off and fly back to the void. Let's take another look around.

[Hello Purvis]

>If we can, imagine ourself up a favorable tailwind to get there faster. If Sanae can do it...
>Also, any signs of that storm now? Let's try not to fly though that.

[日巫子]

> Dust ourself off and fly back to the void. Let's take another look around.

>If we can, imagine ourself up a favorable tailwind to get there faster. If Sanae can do it...
>Also, any signs of that storm now? Let's try not to fly though that.

> You rise into the air and fly back towards the tunnel.  You speed along beneath the clouds, still grey and full of rain.  You can tell, because every now and then you feel a slight misting of it.  If you hurry, you might be able to beat the storm before it starts up again.  Just as you imagined feathers on your hand, you imagine a current of wind to take you to the far-off forest.  The wind carries you like a dandelion seed, and before you know it you're getting closer and closer to the tunnel in the mountains.  It's in sight.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Bring that wind under control, and swoop right into the tunnel.

[日巫子]

>Bring that wind under control, and swoop right into the tunnel.

> You let the wind dissolve into the air, and then dive gracefully into the tunnel.  The wind gives you enough of a boost for you to speed through the tunnel, straight towards the entrance to the void.  You can already see stars.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Into the void! Look around for anything that may have changed.

[日巫子]

>Into the void! Look around for anything that may have changed.

> You fly through the tunnel entrance and into the void.  Once you're a good distance in, you look around for anything different.  However, you don't see anything that looks out of place compared to last time you were here.  The stars are in the same position, as is the glass sphere in the distance.  Is that really Gensokyo?  If it is, are you awake, or asleep?  Is this a dream or your reality?  When do these boundaries start to blur?  Looking out into the void fills your head with these kinds of questions.

> _

[Sect]

> Is this real life? Or is this just fantasy?
> If a gap were set here, in between the two spheres... just how big would it have to be?

[日巫子]

> Is this real life? Or is this just fantasy?
> If a gap were set here, in between the two spheres... just how big would it have to be?

> Caught in a landslide, nananaaa...
> The gap could be any size it wanted, but if it had to touch both spheres, it'd have to be massive.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>If it were that massive, how far away would we have to be to see it? And how long would it take us to get that far away?

[日巫子]

>If it were that massive, how far away would we have to be to see it? And how long would it take us to get that far away?

> You wouldn't have to be far away at all to see it, but to see the entire gap, you'd have to be pretty far away.  Who knows how long that would take you to get to that distance.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

Think it's worth it, Sect? It's a hella longshot and probably wouldn't accomplish much.

[Sect]

It's worth considering, though it would mean convincing Yukari to help solely based on a hunch.

[Hello Purvis]

Well, she can help or she can help with a broken nose. It's an easy choice!

No no, I mean travelling out from both spheres to see if there's any macrocosmic phenomena we're presently too close to notice.

[Sect]

Oh. Eh, sure. There's not much else to do here, since we have no idea where to find dream Keine.

[Hello Purvis]

Well. We found her at that school, once. But this requires finding that school again. Then lucking out and her actually being there.

>Let's fly out away from the spheres a bit; imagine another favorable headwind to assist with this.

[日巫子]

>Let's fly out away from the spheres a bit; imagine another favorable headwind to assist with this.

> You fly out into the void.  Somehow, you're able to imagine another wind to propel you along.
> You fly, and fly, and fly.  The spheres shrink in the distance.  If you want to go back, you'll have to do just as much flying.  It's kind of a pain to think about, really.

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we see them both at once in our field of vision? If so, what do we see?
>Also what is in the other directions, including below and above?

[日巫子]

>Can we see them both at once in our field of vision? If so, what do we see?
>Also what is in the other directions, including below and above?

> You look back at the spheres.  There doesn't appear to be anything between them.
> Looking in all other directions, you just see stars.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Any interesting patterns in those stars?
