Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 14

//Barricade was reabsorbed. There is currently nobody blocking the door.

[Neovereign]

//I thought someone else was blocking the door?

4:

> Continue reversing our growth.
> How large are we at present?

X:

> That's probably just because no one else has tried this before. And you have the bubble to protect you, so you don't need to worry.

> You continue. You're almost at your original size. You're about Kanako's size.
> "Um... Where next anyways?" Flora asks. "Can't we just go to sleep already?"
>_

[Monarda]

//So um... you done with that ?

[Kilgamayan]

//Soon. And if you want a Barricade Dai, 4 can make Flan clones as needed.

4:

> Continue undoing our growth.

X:

> Sure, if you want to.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//But what would we do with the two extra clones?

[Kilgamayan]

//Reabsorb them. It's been established that we can do that.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

4:
>Create Flan clones, name one BarricadeDai and reabsorb the other two.

Barricade:
>Grow big enough to block the door, lean against it, and sleep.

[Neovereign]

//Soon. And if you want a Barricade Dai, 4 can make Flan clones as needed.

4:

> Continue undoing our growth.

X:

> Sure, if you want to.

> You continue returning to normal size.
> Flora doesn't have that much space where she is.
> "Yea." Flora nods.

4:
>Create Flan clones, name one BarricadeDai and reabsorb the other two.

Barricade:
>Grow big enough to block the door, lean against it, and sleep.

> You create 3 Flan clones, then reabsorb the other two.

> You grow large enough to block the door and let yourself sleep.

[Kilgamayan]

4:

> Have we returned to normal size by now? If not, continue undoing our growth.

X:

> How is Flora currently positioned? Is she curled up, or stretched out, or something else?
> Okay. Good night, Flora!

[Monarda]

//Wait wha You just gonna leave her there inside you ? That's just a plain bad idea honestly.

[Kilgamayan]

//That's what the bubble is for. Besides, she still hasn't objected.

[Monarda]

//I dunno, it might be, but it's still just water, i really don't want to risk anyone's life and have what happened to Shinmyonmaru occur again.

[Neovereign]

4:

> Have we returned to normal size by now? If not, continue undoing our growth.

X:

> How is Flora currently positioned? Is she curled up, or stretched out, or something else?
> Okay. Good night, Flora!

> You're still bigger so you continue.

> Flora is floating in midair a bit. She descends to the surface and lies down
> "Okay." Flora closes her eyes.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

//It's water, but it's magic water. Don't forget that it survived in space instead of freezing solid almost instantly. It'll survive this.

4:

> Continue undoing our growth until we're all the way back to normal size.

X:

> How large is Flora compared to her normal size? Can we even tell in here?
> Oh, and it might get a little tight, but the bubble will protect you, so don't worry.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I also have a bad feeling about this Kilga, bubble or not.

[Suwako Moriya]

//I admit I do have a small concern that sending X to sleep will cause the bubble to vanish. I plan on testing this by recreating one of the Flan clones of 4, sending her into Flora, and sending X to sleep then, with the 4 clone instantly putting up a new bubble if X's bubble vanishes. (I might have the remaining unused 4 Flan clones enter Flora and put up extra bubble shields anyway just for extra security.) If X's bubble sticks around once X is asleep, though, then I really do believe we have nothing to worry about.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//You forget that its been established that Flan clones inherit their parent's current level of fatigue. Meaning in all likelyhood, the Flan clones will fall asleep when we don't want them to. At the same time.

[Suwako Moriya]

//It's also been established that clones won't go to sleep unless commanded to do so (or tacitly permitted, in the case of 2). Since X and 4 are separate clones, sending X to sleep won't do the same to 4.

[Monarda]

//But then how will you maitain the Flan Clone awake ? I mean, you did it, you ate a fairy without causing her any harm, so just get her out of there to sleeo more comfortably.

[Suwako Moriya]

//If the bubble survives X going to sleep, then it's a non-issue, and we let Flora be where she is (note that she's already accepted sleeping in her current location without any fuss). If the bubble vanishes when X goes to sleep, then we accept that the state of things can't be safely maintained, count all of this as a partial but ultimately-incomplete success, and send Flora off to be fusion-inside 4 to sleep somewhere safe.

X:

> How large is Flora compared to her normal size? Can we even tell in here?
> Oh, and it might get a little tight, but the bubble will protect you, so don't worry.

> You continue, reaching your normal size.
> Flora is less than a quarter of her original size, you think.
> Flora nods.

[Kilgamayan]

X:

> Begin monitoring Flora to determine when she falls asleep.
> Begin undoing the shrinking of Flora and ourselves. Make sure the bubble expands to compensate.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Medibug:
>Might as well get some sleep ourselves, we can't liberate dolls while we're dead tired. Besides, with Barricade blocking the door, Medicine isn't going anywhere without us...

[Neovereign]

X:

> Begin monitoring Flora to determine when she falls asleep.
> Begin undoing the shrinking of Flora and ourselves. Make sure the bubble expands to compensate.

> You watch Flora for when she falls asleep.
> You start to undo Flora's shrinking. The bubble expands along with her.

Medibug:
>Might as well get some sleep ourselves, we can't liberate dolls while we're dead tired. Besides, with Barricade blocking the door, Medicine isn't going anywhere without us...

> You fall asleep...

X:

[Neovereign]

X:

> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.

> You continue, aiding the bubble as well. Flora is losing more space.
> Flora seems to have fallen asleep now.
> Nearly all of the army is also asleep.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

//We can probably send the Army Dais to sleep too.

X:

> Take control of Flora's body and curl 'ourselves' up to save space.
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.

[Neovereign]

//We can probably send the Army Dais to sleep too.

X:

> Take control of Flora's body and curl 'ourselves' up to save space.
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.

> You have Flora curl up.
> You continue.

[Kilgamayan]

X:

> How large is Flora now, compared to her regular size?
> Continue undoing the shrinking and expanding the bubble to compensate.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

4:

>Do we feel/see anything strange since Flora is expanding inside us?
