Yuyuko Quest II - Memory Lane Parade

[Nekomata-chan]

>You are Yuyuko Saigyouji.

>Today has been so busy! You settled an argument between the Taoists and the Buddhists (with food), and also settled an argument between Sakuya and Keine (again, with food).

>Then, you went on a mass age-bending of Gensokyo with Yukari. You and her became children again, along with many others. Also, you made some people age. You visited people on Youkai Mountain, underground, dragged people from the SDM, the Human Village and more.
>You also turned 3 people into boys: Toyosatomimi no Miko, Minamitsu Murasa and Sanae (now Sano) Kochiya.

>Now, however, you are in Yuuka's garden with everyone.

>Giggle. "Oh, just Eientei and the two magicians from the forest are left~"
>Beat. "I think?"

>Yukari nods, "Sounds about right~"
>Yuuka laughs, "So, what sparked this off~?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Well, this all started when I got to wondering how Keine and Mokou looked as children, and it went from there~"
>Smile. "And then I wanted to see if Remilia's charisma would improve, and you can guess the rest~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Well, this all started when I got to wondering how Keine and Mokou looked as children, and it went from there~"
>Smile. "And then I wanted to see if Remilia's charisma would improve, and you can guess the rest~"

>Yuuka laughs out loud, "Sometimes it's the most trivial little thoughts that can spark the biggest of events~!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Like when I stole spring for a short time~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Like when I stole spring for a short time~!"

>Yuuka smiles, "Ah, yes, yes~... at least you stayed away from summer! I wouldn't have been too happy if my sunflowers died in a prolonged winter~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Pause. "That reminds me, sometimes spirits will inhabit different flowers~ You remember that one incident a while back, the Unnatural Flowering Incident? I seem to recall hearing something about spirits that come to reside in sunflowers being the bright and cheerful sort in life~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Pause. "That reminds me, sometimes spirits will inhabit different flowers~ You remember that one incident a while back, the Unnatural Flowering Incident? I seem to recall hearing something about spirits that come to reside in sunflowers being the bright and cheerful sort in life~"

>Yuuka nods with a wide grin, "That's what sunflowers are. Bright, confident, prominent and brilliant leader material. That's why their petal-span is so wide, and they grow extremely tall~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Naturally, though cherry blossoms are quite elegant~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Naturally, though cherry blossoms are quite elegant~"

>Yuuka sneers, "That's why souls that can inhabit them are often elegant, too, isn't that right?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Usually, but sometimes they aren't~ Remember those purple ones at Muenzuka?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "Usually, but sometimes they aren't~ Remember those purple ones at Muenzuka?"

>Yuuka thinks for a while, "Oh, yes, yes... but they were still quite pretty~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "There's something to be said for the beauty of both good and evil I suppose~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "There's something to be said for the beauty of both good and evil I suppose~"

>Yuuka twirls her parasol, "Indeed~."

[Hanzo K.]

>"But at any rate..."
>Smirk mischievously. "Let's go pay a visit to Eientei~"
>"Oh, and don't worry Mokou dear, that princess will be joining you as a child~"
>Beat.
>"But I don't know if even Yukari can meddle with Eirin's Border of Young and Old, the dear's almost ageless to the point of being a veritable time well~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>"But at any rate..."
>Smirk mischievously. "Let's go pay a visit to Eientei~"
>"Oh, and don't worry Mokou dear, that princess will be joining you as a child~"

>Mokou growls quietly, "Wonder if we're both still immortal as kids..."
>You can see the cogs turning in her head, "Maybe this is my chance..."

>Beat.
>"But I don't know if even Yukari can meddle with Eirin's Border of Young and Old, the dear's almost ageless to the point of being a veritable time well~"

>Yukari blinks, "Eh, as long as there's a border there, I can meddle with it. Besides, Mokou was immortal and unable to age, and I managed to change her age."

[Hanzo K.]

>Fix Mokou with a stare that says 'We'll be having none of that now, I can tell what you're thinking.'. "Now now dear, play nice~"
>Nod. "Though I wonder if there even is a border in her case."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Fix Mokou with a stare that says 'We'll be having none of that now, I can tell what you're thinking.'. "Now now dear, play nice~"

>Mokou pouts, "Fine... can't say the same for Kaguya, though. She may take her opportunity and smoosh me while she can."

>Nod. "Though I wonder if there even is a border in her case."

>Yukari thinks for a while, "Nobody can be born fully grown except for the curious case of Benjamin Button, so of course she has a border~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Don't worry about that dear, I'll handle that~"
>"After all, since she only had long life as a child, I can easily hold her under sway with the prospect of experiencing my ability~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Don't worry about that dear, I'll handle that~"
>"After all, since she only had long life as a child, I can easily hold her under sway with the prospect of experiencing my ability~"

>Mokou gives a devious grin, "'Kay, thanks!"

>Yukari gives another yawn, "Shall we go~?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Think nothing of it~"
>Nod. "Yes, let's~!"
>When Yukari opens the gap, head through!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Think nothing of it~"
>Nod. "Yes, let's~!"
>When Yukari opens the gap, head through!

>Yukari opens the gap, and you all head through.
>You arrive outside Eientei, and your little group nearly bumps right into Reisen.

>She stumbles backwards, "What the-?!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Blink a few times, then tacklehug! "Hello~!!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Blink a few times, then tacklehug! "Hello~!!"

>Reisen yelps as you tacklehug her, not quite sure who you are, "He-hello... what, um... can I do for you?"

>You hear someone shouting from the inside, "Udongein, what's all that racket out there?"
>Reisen calls back, "Just some unexpected visitors, Master!!"

>Eirin walks out onto the front porch, surprised when she sees just how many of you are there, "Well... very unexpected."

[Hanzo K.]

>Blink a few times, then disengage from Reisen to tacklehug Eirin! "Hiiii~!"
>"I just thought I'd drop by for a visit~! I brought some friends as well~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Blink a few times, then disengage from Reisen to tacklehug Eirin! "Hiiii~!"
>"I just thought I'd drop by for a visit~! I brought some friends as well~"

>You tacklehug Eirin, and she stumbles backwards a few steps to compensate for the sudden overbalance.
>She stares at you, "I hate to sound rude, Yuyuko, but why are you and so many others here children..? And why are those who are not as children as adults instead? Another one of your little tedium-shattering attempts, is it?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle and stare up at her like a child who just got praised by a parent. "Heehee, yup~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle and stare up at her like a child who just got praised by a parent. "Heehee, yup~!"

>Eirin rolls her eyes with a tiny grin, "Why am I not surprised? Come to yank all of Eientei into this, too, then? I'd be surprised if you weren't."

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "There's nothing that escapes you is there~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "There's nothing that escapes you is there~?"

>Eirin shrugs, "Well, I'm no psychologist, but the fact that you have a lot of Gensokyo traipsing after you, and you don't really come down here... at all, to be honest... then that is the only explanation that is even slightly plausible?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Not just slightly plausible, but the truth~!"
>"I was initially helping solve some disputes over various things, then I got the idea to see what Sakuya looked like as a child, and then things kinda grew from there~"
>Giggle. "You see that green-haired little lad over there~? You'll never guess who he is~!"
