Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT II

[Serela]

Maybe we should tell Eirin a smidgen of the most relevant details about Sumireko's situation right before we rescued her? Whatever's going on with her is probably related to having been incredibly close to being, like, restructured into an angel drone or whatnot.

I won't just outright do it since that's a vaguely significant decision (she might want to prod a lot more about it, especially since it's... weird) but figured I'd bring it up!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I hope she's alright."

>"I hope so too..." says Renko.

>"Um, Dr. Eirin, could you please tell me how well Miss Reimu is faring ? I heard that she woke up."

>"Ah yes, she woke up a few hours ago. Her heart is in a more stable condition. However, she will be bedridden for several months, we can't have her putting too much strain on the myocardium, or else it will risk the wound re-opening."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Did she...say anything when she woke up?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Did she...say anything when she woke up?"

>"She asked what happened, and I explained that miss Yakumo brought her in in critical condition. She then asked about you two, and I told her that one of you is here, awaiting judgement, while the other one left..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Was the judgement talked about more? Did Yukari say anything? Where is Yukari now? W-Were either of them angry or anything?"
>Recall inventory.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Was the judgement talked about more? Did Yukari say anything? Where is Yukari now? W-Were either of them angry or anything?"

>"I was not present when Yakumo visited, sorry..."

>Recall inventory.

>INVENTORY:
 >Clothes (equipped)
 >>Your signature outfit, a purple and white dress with a black belt.

 >Hat (equipped)
 >>A white cap that you wear almost all the time.

 >Satchel (equipped) (capacity: 1/20 units)
 >>A bag for carrying items. Has a limited carrying capacity.

  >Cellphone (1 unit)
   >>A communication device used to call other people. You doubt this would be of much use in Gensokyo...

[Neovereign]

>Have we recovered enough to attempt to make another tear like the one before?

[Monarda]

>"This is really worrying, i was just going to visit briefly, but with this event.... i can't leave without making sure that Sumireko is safe."

[Neovereign]

>There's not much we can do to help Sumireko it seems. At least, for now. Maybe we can get to her again, but we have to stick to what Yukari said and keep training our powers in our world. We can probably check in with this new trick if we need to.

[Monarda]

>Let's stay just until we have Sumireko back.

[Neovereign]

>"Of course...No harm will come to them in your absence, I guarantee it."

>Also again, we can't do much help, considering we're bad at flying and we (probably) don't have much energy left after coming here. Staying with Renko for longer is just gonna make it harder to leave again when it's time.
>Not to mention what Yukari warned us about concerning our powers developing in Gensokyo. If she was so upset when we were here for a day, it could probably happen anytime, which isn't good.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Have we recovered enough to attempt to make another tear like the one before?

>You don't think so.

>"This is really worrying, i was just going to visit briefly, but with this event.... i can't leave without making sure that Sumireko is safe."

>"Yeah," Renko nods, "I'm worried too... I mean, I just got her back..."

>There's not much we can do to help Sumireko it seems. At least, for now. Maybe we can get to her again, but we have to stick to what Yukari said and keep training our powers in our world. We can probably check in with this new trick if we need to.

>Not to mention what Yukari warned us about concerning our powers developing in Gensokyo. If she was so upset when we were here for a day, it could probably happen anytime, which isn't good.

>You have an internal moral debate about whether or not you should stay and help Sumireko, or do what Yukari told you to do.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Hm... Try to text Renko something with our phone. Calling didn't work... We haven't tried it before, and if it succeeds, we'd have a way of communication in Gensokyo.

[AzyWng]

>Hm... Try to text Renko something with our phone. Calling didn't work... We haven't tried it before, and if it succeeds, we'd have a way of communication in Gensokyo.

//I'm not sure this would work (calling and texting both require a cellular network to function), but ah well, let's give it a shot!

[Monarda]

>Actually try calling 911 too, just for the hell of it.

[Serela]

>Apart from the fact that we already know our phone doesn't work in gensokyo (this was one of the first things we checked when we came <.<) what would you even say when 911 picked up :P

[Neovereign]

//I just thought of something to ask Yukari for if we meet her again.
Also if it actually called someone in Gensokyo we could ask for help with getting Sumireko back. But still, that might cause things to get heated pretty quickly if it works.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Hm... Try to text Renko something with our phone. Calling didn't work... We haven't tried it before, and if it succeeds, we'd have a way of communication in Gensokyo.

>You pull out your cellphone and text a quick "Hi" to Renko.
>It fails to send.

>Actually try calling 911 too, just for the hell of it.

>Apart from the fact that we already know our phone doesn't work in gensokyo (this was one of the first things we checked when we came <.<) what would you even say when 911 picked up

>You consider dialing 911, but then realize how silly that would be, especially since you know your phone doesn't work here.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Worth a try.
>"I hope Reisen can bring her back safely..."

[Monarda]

>Turn to Dr. Eirin.
>"Dr. Eirin, has there been any other odd events like that weird gust of wind lately ? The one that everyone seemed to notice ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Worth a try.
>"I hope Reisen can bring her back safely..."

>"Me too..." Renko agrees.

>Turn to Dr. Eirin.
>"Dr. Eirin, has there been any other odd events like that weird gust of wind lately ? The one that everyone seemed to notice ?"

>"No, not really." Eirin replies, "And please, I'd prefer being called either Dr. Yagokoro or just Eirin..."

>You see something out of the corner of your eye, outside of the hole in the wall.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Quickly observe the hole.

[Monarda]

>Before that. "May i call you Miss Eirin or just Eirin will suffice ?"

[Neovereign]

>We could probably do that as we're moving...

[Monarda]

>But isn't it impolite to break eye contact while talking ?

[Neovereign]

>It's impolite to leave the ones you care about for three days without even saying goodbye...Okay, maybe that's a bit much. We can't worry about being polite when there's a chance to notice something others might not. What if something happens to Reisen and or Sumireko, and we miss it?

[Monarda]

>It was either that or forced gapping. >_>
>Fine....

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Quickly observe the hole.

>Before that. "May i call you Miss Eirin or just Eirin will suffice ?"

>We could probably do that as we're moving...

>You speak as you move to inspect the hole.
>"If it makes you feel comfortable, you may call me 'Miss Eirin' if you wish..." Eirin replies.

>You look outside.
>There are two distant figures, one of them seems to be firing danmaku at the other, while the other has many small shapes orbiting it in a sphere. You think they're Sumireko and Reisen.
>The orbiting shapes suddenly all rush towards the figure firing danmaku, before scattering on impact. You see the hit figure start plummeting to the ground.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"M-Miss Eirin! Reisen needs help!"

[Monarda]

>"I-Is Miss Mamizou still on Eientei ? Maybe she could help us or tell something that might aid us."
