Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 23

[Suwako Moriya]

//For what it's worth, I think it's a bit mean to pressure Sanny on the matter of resurrection, because the Yama already yelled at us about it once so we KNOW it's a bad thing, and she's not in a position to avoid the Yama's judgment like we are (at least not yet).

//I'm not going to countermand anything unless it's supremely damaging physically/mentally/emotionally, but Secunde would do well to remember that Da Rulez are different for her compared to Sanny.

[Neovereign]

Secunde:

>"I know... but is it really right to let those from that Gensokyo live without them ? What will be of Miss Yuuka without Wriggle ? Or Medicine's dream of freeing all the dolls ? Or Seija without Shinny ?"
>Look down.
>"It is taboo yes... but then what else can i do ? I don't wanna involve you two on this, if it goes badly, i and only i should take the blame for it."

> "I don't know... Don't ask me..." Kogasa says.

Dai-chan Prime:

>"There ya go, so how about an ice platform ?"

Koishidai-chan:

>"Miss Yuuka would not tolerate you hurting the flowers, and would immediately attack you..."

Rikadai-chan:

>Keep going.

> Rumia shrugs.

> "Oh. What if we hit them from afar?"

> You keep following as Rika gets back to her room.

ShinDai:

> "... Fine. I will not keep bothering you with that."

> SeiDai nods.

Diana, Alt2:
>beat

RuuDai:
>Continue

Scavengers (sans A):
>Report

> You are still waiting on-
> Sakuya suddenly appears in front of you and Alt!Daiyousei.
> "You're alive?" She asks.

> You keep watching the movie.

> You think one of you found something. It's a small pile of wood planks next to a tree. Ah, finally something.
> "Finally." You hear an unfamiliar feminine voice nearby speak.

2 (T):

> Look regretful.
> "I'm sorry, Hamiya."

> "Just learn from mistakes." Hamiya nods.

SenDai:

> (T) Of course, Miss Virtue!
> Gently bring our hands up to our chest again.

> "Thank you." Virtue resists the motion.

YamaBug:

> Stop the ungrowth.
> (T) Wait, what?!

---

X (T):

> So, while we wait for her, I know it hasn't been too long yet, Flora, but how are you doing getting used to your new body? Moving and flying and seeing and stuff.

> "I said what if I crossed my fingers during the promise?"
> Yamame is currently only the size of a building.

> "Not well..." Flora says.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Whichever Scavenger found the planks:
>Which one are we, B, or C?
>Look around for the source of the voice.

[Monarda]

Diana:

>"Yeah, she had an backup independent clone of herself in case something like that happened..."
>Nod.

Secunde:

>"I understand, i will find some way to deal with it..."

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Okay, better float up a bit."
>Start making a decent-sized ice platform for our training.

Dai-chan Prime T:

>Imagine an apple in from of Flan.
>"Hey Flan, try using your power on that apple, but carefully just like how you did before."

Koishidai-chan:

>"Why do you wanna kill the flowers so badly... ?"
>Look saddened.

[Tashi]

ShinDai:

> "So, anything special to kill the time?"

[Kilgamayan]

2 (T):

> Nod.
> "Does that mean that you don't want the good feeling anymore?"

---

SenDai:

> Beat, continuing to stare at our chest and listen to our host's thoughts.

---

YamaBug (T):

> W-why would you do that? That's mean!

---

X (T):

> Awww...well, I'm sure you'll get more used to it with some time.

---

Scavenger A:

> Are we back at the bag yet?

[Neovereign]

Whichever Scavenger found the planks:
>Which one are we, B, or C?
>Look around for the source of the voice.

> You are B
> You look around as a girl comes into view from behind the tree. It's a girl with a black hat and a black dress. Rather than black, they seem to be very dark red. Her hair is blonde. She jumps a bit and stops as she spots you.

Diana:

>"Yeah, she had an backup independent clone of herself in case something like that happened..."
>Nod.

> "Hm... Why didn't you return immediately?" Sakuya asks.
> "You should ask her. I'm not from this dimension." You respond.
> "Oh?" Sakuya turns to Alt!Daiyousei, supposedly for an explanation.

Secunde:

>"I understand, i will find some way to deal with it..."

> "Wait, we don't need to go that far." Kogasa speaks. "...But she's been helping others with it." Kogasa looks a bit sad.

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Okay, better float up a bit."
>Start making a decent-sized ice platform for our training.

Dai-chan Prime T:

>Imagine an apple in from of Flan.
>"Hey Flan, try using your power on that apple, but carefully just like how you did before."

> Rumia nods, doing so.
> You start to charge a large ice block, so that you and Rumia can stand on.

> Flandre isn't in the thoughtscape. You only fused with her, unlike Koa.

Koishidai-chan:

>"Why do you wanna kill the flowers so badly... ?"
>Look saddened.

> "Because you said they were her source of pride and power."
> You arrive at the Garden of the Sun.

ShinDai:

> "So, anything special to kill the time?"

> SeiDai shakes her head.
> "Dunno."

2 (T):

> Nod.
> "Does that mean that you don't want the good feeling anymore?"

> "I'll be fine with what's normal..."

SenDai:

> Beat, continuing to stare at our chest and listen to our host's thoughts.

> I know that's not me...

YamaBug (T):

> W-why would you do that? That's mean!

---

X (T):

> Awww...well, I'm sure you'll get more used to it with some time.

---

Scavenger A:

> Are we back at the bag yet?

> "Oh who said I did it? And who said I didn't do it?" Yamame smirks.

> "If you say so..."

> You are.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Scavenger B:
>Wave and smile.
>"Oh, hello there. Is this pile of wood yours? In that case, I won't touch it."

RuuDai:
>Continue

//Oh god, Raf... If they're thinking of taking our miracle power from us... what should we do...? We can't be a goddess without being able to perform miracles...

[Tashi]

ShinDai:

> Look around. There's something interesting enough?

[Kilgamayan]

2 (T):

> "Awww...well, I guess you can just wait until it wears off."

---

SenDai:

> Beat.

---

YamaBug (T):

> W-well...uh...I guess if you crossed your fingers, the deal would be off, right?

---

X (T):

> I do say so. I have faith in you, Flora!

---

Scavenger A:

> Take the cutting tool and cut the top of the bag open.

[Monarda]

Secunde:

>"Maybe i should just drop it... it's Diana that's working on it anyways, she just asked me for help."

Koishidai-chan:

>"But i am not sure, and why would you wanna make her weaker ?"

Rikadai-chan:

>Relax some.

[Neovereign]

Scavenger B:
>Wave and smile.
>"Oh, hello there. Is this pile of wood yours? In that case, I won't touch it."

> You wave.
> "Uh..." The girl thinks for a bit. "You can have it though." The girl nods, starting to walk back and away.

RuuDai:
>Continue

//Oh god, Raf... If they're thinking of taking our miracle power from us... what should we do...? We can't be a goddess without being able to perform miracles...

> You keep watching the movie...

ShinDai:

> Look around. There's something interesting enough?

> You look around. This is a small room in a dollhouse. There's not much... You could probably do something with the miracle mallet, but...

2 (T):

> "Awww...well, I guess you can just wait until it wears off."

---

SenDai:

> Beat.

> "Alright." Hamiya holds her hands together, observing space.

> I should keep it in mind... Virtue looks back up. Now... walls... She starts to look around.

YamaBug (T):

> W-well...uh...I guess if you crossed your fingers, the deal would be off, right?

---

X (T):

> I do say so. I have faith in you, Flora!

> "Yea. Didn't cross 'em though."

> "I mean, it doesn't feel too bad. Except for my chest being kinda heavy..."

Secunde:

>"Maybe i should just drop it... it's Diana that's working on it anyways, she just asked me for help."

> Kogasa pauses for a bit as you speak.
> "But that-" She stops. "You're sisters..." Another pause. ^_"Okay..." Kogasa starts to float out of the room, changing into Gasanae as she goes.

Koishidai-chan:

>"But i am not sure, and why would you wanna make her weaker ?"

Rikadai-chan:

>Relax some.

> Koishi shrugs. "To see how it'd be I guess."

> You relax a bit.

Scavenger A:

> Take the cutting tool and cut the top of the bag open.

> You take it and cut the bag open.
> Yup, tomatoes.
>_

[Monarda]

Koishidai-chan:

>"But you would hurt others that way..."

Secunde:

>"...i shouldn't have said anything..."
>Be sad...

Rikadai-chan:

>"Hm..."
>Ponder.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Are we done ?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Scavenger B:
>"Oh no, don't give up on it because of me... You were probably here first anyway.... I'm Daiyousei, by the way. What's your name?"

Diana:
>Beat.

//I'm considering possibly wiping Sanae and Kogasa's memories of that conversation if they try anything extreme, or perhaps another timehax if it doesn't work. Thoughts?

[Monarda]

//I still wanna try to ease up their fears, if we can't use miracles to rescue Wriggle and co., then we won't.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

if we can't use miracles to rescue Wriggle and co., then we won't.

//That's not what I'm concerned about... I'm concerned about Sanae/Gasanae possibly removing our miracle magic from us, which would cripple our ability to do anything as a goddess.
//They're also a shrine maiden, meaning they could seal us as well...

[Tashi]

// Isn't that a bit extreme, from our side at least? They have valid concerns, we shouldn't get into it, even if they have the idea of removing our powers. Still if you consider it's a good idea...

ShinDai:

> Of course we can! Hit SeiDai with all our might with the Miracle Mallet.
> "Now that I look at it... I never have been so bored in here."
> Sigh.

[Monarda]

>She would be motivated by the worry of us doing something that's taboo, so she must show her we won't do that.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Yes, I know it seems extreme and possibly out of character, which is why I'm asking for opinions on the matter....

//If we lose miracle magic, we won't be able to assist our followers much, which might cause us to lose faith, which would be game over once we run out.
//If we get sealed, we would be equally crippled (or perhaps more), and it would also be infuriatingly difficult to undo, and since not being able to help our followers = loss of faith = game over... yeah...

Secunde:
>Follow her.

All Dais in the Moriya Shrine:
>Be wary of Gasanae approaching, if we can see her, and report her location.

[Kilgamayan]

//I think there's basically no chance Sanae ever does either of those things unless we get actively aggressive with her. I'd put money on it.

2 (T):

> Frown a bit.

---

SenDai:

> Beat.

---

YamaBug (T):

> Oh. Okay!
> Resume the ungrowth.

---

X (T):

> Huh...you don't like it? A lot of people I know are actually envious...

[Tashi]

// I understand what you mean.
// Still, it's not like Kogasa or Sanae won't listen to us if we want to say something about the matter of not doing what they consider taboo. It's like Kilga said.

// Also, for the record, now that you pointed out, we might wanna have a backup idea if by ANY reason we run out of faith and disappear. In other words: Find a way to survive if we don't have faith anymore.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Well, technically Dai Secunde is our backup, assuming she doesn't also ascend to godhood. She was originally our backup plan in case Prime became a youkai instead of a goddess and died...

//But since she's technically Daiyousei still, she could still gain faith from Dai Worshippers. Which could also send her into godhood as well...

[Tashi]

// That's why I'm proposing to find a way that doesn't involve clones. A way where the original Daiyousei has an assured life if she doesn't have more faith.

// Let's take for example Sanae herself. She's an Arahitogami. If by any means Sanae doesn't have more faith with her, she is not going to disappear, but instead be just a mere human.

[Neovereign]

Koishidai-chan:

>"But you would hurt others that way..."

> "Oh... I guess I won't do it then."

Secunde:

>"...i shouldn't have said anything..."
>Be sad...

//Yes, I know it seems extreme and possibly out of character, which is why I'm asking for opinions on the matter....

//If we lose miracle magic, we won't be able to assist our followers much, which might cause us to lose faith, which would be game over once we run out.
//If we get sealed, we would be equally crippled (or perhaps more), and it would also be infuriatingly difficult to undo, and since not being able to help our followers = loss of faith = game over... yeah...

Secunde:
>Follow her.

All Dais in the Moriya Shrine:
>Be wary of Gasanae approaching, if we can see her, and report her location.

> You follow Gasanae as she heads out of the shrine. She starts to fly down the mountain.

Rikadai-chan:

>"Hm..."
>Ponder.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Are we done ?

> "?" Rika looks over to you with a questioning face.

> You are nearly finished charging.

Scavenger B:
>"Oh no, don't give up on it because of me... You were probably here first anyway.... I'm Daiyousei, by the way. What's your name?"

Diana:
>Beat.

//I'm considering possibly wiping Sanae and Kogasa's memories of that conversation if they try anything extreme, or perhaps another timehax if it doesn't work. Thoughts?

> The girl turns.
> "Yuki. I was uh..." The girl looks to the pile, then to you. "Y-You sure you don't want them?"

> The other Daiyousei doesn't answer.

// Isn't that a bit extreme, from our side at least? They have valid concerns, we shouldn't get into it, even if they have the idea of removing our powers. Still if you consider it's a good idea...

ShinDai:

> Of course we can! Hit SeiDai with all our might with the Miracle Mallet.
> "Now that I look at it... I never have been so bored in here."
> Sigh.

> You pick up the mallet and smack SeiDai with it.
> Unfortunately, because you are both part-Daiyousei, she knows you're going to do this, and dodges.
> SeiDai stretches a bit.

//I think there's basically no chance Sanae ever does either of those things unless we get actively aggressive with her. I'd put money on it.

2 (T):

> Frown a bit.

> "Er, I mean, don't you always say it's better to do things with others, or something? That's why you don't just give yourself a bunch of arms. So why not do the thing on yourself too?" Hamiya points to her chest.

SenDai:

> Beat.

> A hole in the air wall? Virtue ponders. Hm... Doesn't sound like a real thing... Nearby, at least.

YamaBug (T):

> Oh. Okay!
> Resume the ungrowth.

---

X (T):

> Huh...you don't like it? A lot of people I know are actually envious...

> You continue ungrowing her.

> "But it's kinda heavy. How do you go around all the time like this?" Flora holds her chest up with an arm, supporting it as well as emphasizing it.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

2 (T):

> "Oh, I do sometimes. But I can't right now, at least."

---

SenDai:

> Beat.

---

YamaBug:

> Continue the ungrowth.

---

X (T):

> I dunno. I've always had them, so I've always been used to them.

[Tashi]

Secunde:

> Continue following.

*-*-*

ShinDai:

> "... Maybe something with the mallet?"

[Monarda]

//An reason she can't do it:

//If she seals away our capability of making miracles, that would end up killing us due to future lack of faith.

Rikadai-chan:

>"Oh ! Um, i was just thinking about something."

Dai-chan Prime:

>Finish up.

Koishidai-chan:

>Smile.
>"Good, have a look around."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Secunde:
>Continue
>Sunny clo- Oh, wait...

MoriDai:
>Donate Sunny Magic to Secunde

Secunde:
>Cloak.

Scavenger B:
>"Nice to meet you, Yuki."
>Smile
>"And no, you already seem to have a claim on them, so taking them would be considered stealing, which is wrong."
>Sage nod.
>"Besides, I have all of Gensokyo to look through to find more, and I'm in no rush."

RuuDai:
>What's happening?

Scavenger Parent:
>Anything of note outside the house?

Indiana (sans Cirno):
>Where are we?
>Are we behaving?

Diana:
>beat. (Some input would be helpful here >.<)

[Neovereign]

2 (T):

> "Oh, I do sometimes. But I can't right now, at least."

> "Why not?"

SenDai:

> Beat.

---

YamaBug:

> Continue the ungrowth.

> Doesn't seem to be any holes around...

> You continue.

X (T):

> I dunno. I've always had them, so I've always been used to them.

> "Can I at least lie down a bit. It's heavy..."

Secunde:

> Continue following.

*-*-*

ShinDai:

> "... Maybe something with the mallet?"

Secunde:
>Continue
>Sunny clo- Oh, wait...

MoriDai:
>Donate Sunny Magic to Secunde

Secunde:
>Cloak.

> You keep following Gasanae, getting a bit of magic and cloaking with it.
> Gasanae stops where she is, heading down to the snow and clearing out a small part of the ground from snow, then setting her umbrella down on that spot. She then sits down in the snow and seems to perform a small miracle, shuffling her butt a bit as well.
> _^"C-Cold..." She mumbles something as she does so.

> "Isn't that for emergencies or something? Or getting bigger in your case..."

//An reason she can't do it:

//If she seals away our capability of making miracles, that would end up killing us due to future lack of faith.

Rikadai-chan:

>"Oh ! Um, i was just thinking about something."

> "Oh."

Dai-chan Prime:

>Finish up.

Koishidai-chan:

>Smile.
>"Good, have a look around."

> You finish charging.

> Koishi looks around.
> "No one's out here."

Scavenger B:
>"Nice to meet you, Yuki."
>Smile
>"And no, you already seem to have a claim on them, so taking them would be considered stealing, which is wrong."
>Sage nod.
>"Besides, I have all of Gensokyo to look through to find more, and I'm in no rush."

RuuDai:
>What's happening?

> "Oh um..." Yuki looks around. "Uh... D-Dangit Kuri! It didn't work!" Yuki sits down.
> "You gotta say Mai. And you almost had it. You just had to take it easier a bit longer..." Another feminine voice says, near Yuki. It seems to be another girl, this one buried in the snow only showing her head. Her hair is light blue, and she blended in pretty well...

> The cats seem to be trying to find their way home. They're talking much more now that there's no humans around.

Scavenger Parent:
>Anything of note outside the house?

Indiana (sans Cirno):
>Where are we?
>Are we behaving?

Diana:
>beat. (Some input would be helpful here >.<)

> Nothing...

> You are in the mansion. You are behaving as well.

> "...So what do you mean by another dimension?" Sakuya looks back to you after a bit of silence.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Secunde:
>Do we feel any BAD feelings?

Scavenger C:
>Report

Scavenger A:

Scavenger B:
>"Oh, hi there! I didn't notice you. Who might you be?"
>Look slightly concerned.
>"Are you stuck in the snow?"
