Koakuma Quest - Lesser Devil

[Neovereign]

> Keep listening at the door, then.
> Are there any other rooms nearby? If so, what are they used for?

> You keep quiet...
> You think the rooms nearby are vacant. They aren't too close nearby either. You couldn't slip into one if she were to start twisting the doorknob, for example.

[Kilgamayan]

> Keep listening, waiting in particular for either an extended period of silence, or footsteps in our direction.

> You keep listening...
> There's silence... A long, awkward silence... You feel like you've been found out, and the head maid is right behind you...

[Kilgamayan]

> Turn around to double-check.

[Neovereign]

> Turn around to double-check.

> No one...

[Kilgamayan]

> Quietly exhale.
> Turn back to the door.
> How long have we been waiting here? A minute or two? Ten or twenty?

[Neovereign]

> Quietly exhale.
> Turn back to the door.
> How long have we been waiting here? A minute or two? Ten or twenty?

> A few minutes... Maybe not ten yet...
> You breathe...
> "Ah, just in time, Sakuya." You hear Remilia

[Tashi]

> Shiver for a moment, letting our devilly hair bristle in surprise, but don't make any other sound!
> W-Well... she already knows we are here...
> Clear our throat, returning to a normal standing pose and at a reasonable distance from the door to not seem like, uh, we were eavesdropping.
> "Good morning, Mistress. It's just me, Koakuma. Hopefully you had a restful sleep?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hopefully you had a restful sleep?"

> Since she's about to go to bed (it was established here that she sleeps during the day, which makes sense for a vamp), instead of the above, say "Hopefully I'm not disturbing you before your rest?"

[Kilgamayan]

[Kilgamayan]

Rgh, okay. I think I might have talked myself into being willing to talk to Remind about the situation. Maybe. I'm currently debating three different courses of action.

1) Play innocent and ask if Remi has seen Patchy, get dismissed after that, and fuck off to the library for an hour or so before coming back and trying again.
2) Same as #1 but without asking about Patchouli.
3) Asking for a closed-door audience with Remi, showing her the notes, and then trying to convince her to play along. (If we absorbed her, she could just go to sleep inside us, at the very least.)

[Tashi]

//I would be okay with either of the two options, so serve yourself with the one you feel it's most fitting.
I am not too confident about telling her... I just don't feel she might be too willing to play along, even if it's for Patche (and specially if it's to keep her in such way).

> In what terms of a relationship are we with Remilia? Yes, we don't have to follow her orders, but have we at least given a good image of ourself to her? Being a good servant to her friend and all...
> Not literal image, of course. We know we give good visuals to people already as we are.

[Kilgamayan]

Okay, let's do library chores for an hour or so and then come back.

> "Alright. I will leave you to your sleep, then, Mistress."

> "Perhaps I should see what Sakuya is up to. I don't enjoy the day too often anymore. Unless you've already seen her or she's busy?"

[Tashi]

> "I haven't seen the Head Maid at all today, unfortunately."

[Neovereign]

[Kilgamayan]

[Tashi]

> "Make me."
> "Have a good day overall, Mistress."
> Bow to the door in front of us, and head back to the library.

> You head back to the library after bowing...
>Nothing seems averse from last time you were here.

[Rin Satsuki]

> Make... our daily chores, as usual. As if nothing has happened.
> Do keep in mind, however, the time, and make sure we manage to count it down until we know an hour or so has passed ever since we started doing them.

> You quietly work around the library, doing what you believe Patchouli would tell you to for some time...
> "Hey~!" A chill runs up your spine as one unforgettable voice shatters the silence of the library. "I need some new books Patchouli!"

> Marisa Kirisame. It was only a matter of time...

[Kilgamayan]

> How long has it been?
> How long did it take us to absorb that fairy? A few seconds, or closer to a minute?
> Do we know any sleeping spells?

> You do.

[Kilgamayan]

> How does the sleeping spell work?

[Neovereign]

> How does the sleeping spell work?

> It's a simple spell that makes one feel more tired. It's not usually useful...
