Wriggle Quest: The Value of the Small
« on: February 02, 2013, 11:15:06 PM »
You are Wriggle Nightbug



You are a rather low-level firefly youkai, with the ability to control insects. Of course, with a lack of other insect youkai, due to the naturally short lifespan of insects limiting their potential to even become youkai, this isn't as impressive of a power as it sounds.

However, even despite not being notable yourself, you're still somewhat known for your connections. You're part of a group of youkai and fairies who are gaining quite the limelight. Indeed, Mystia Lorelai, your closest friend, is basically a celebrity chef and singer now, while Rumia is one of the most respected, and powerful, youkai, as well as a forefront incident resolver.

Even Cirno's getting a little more respect for her sheer power.

However... you, haven't developed. About the most interesting that that you've done is grow a little when you shed.

However, you still do things. For example, while humans seem to dislike an insect cooking their food, they don't seem to care about you collecting ingredients for Mystia. As such, you frequent Youkai Mountain, and have got some new friends there as well.

You are currently on Youkai Mountain, for that matter, at the Ruined Shine of the Curse Goddess, Hina Kagiyama. While Hina herself is not here, as she is off somewhere absorbing misfortune, another of your recent new friends is; Medicine Melancholy. She seems to have taken it upon herself to become almost the equivalent of a Shrine Maiden for Hina, because of Hina's link to dolls.

I don't even remember who put the above in my sig. [Wasn't me] Nor do I understand why I keep it here anymore.
Those two facts sum me up pretty well.

>What was in our plans for the day outside of gathering ingredients for Mysty?

> The same thing you do every day. Take over the world, talk to your friends and relax, helping people out if you can. You don't have any particular goals really. You just do your own thing most of the time.

> You did plan to check up on Maribel and Renko, however, but they won't be available for a few hours yet, since they have their own things to attend to.

> "You know, someone besides the bird, the wolf and you came by yesterday." Medicine says.

>"...Rumia must be rubbing off on me."

> "Yes. No-one else usually comes here. Even stranger, it was another Goddess. She said she had a message for Hina, but refused to give it to me." Medicine says, looking annoyed. "I know I'm not an official shrine maiden but can't they at least trust me?"

>How long ago did Maribel and Renko come to Gensokyo?

> About four and a half months.

> "It was a messenger goddess. I don't know her name, but she looked kinda similar to them Crow Tengu, except more like a falcon than a crow." Medicine says.

> They've been doing OK. Maribel's control over boundaries has grown significantly, and Renko has got a few new tricks, although she's no showoff or braggart, so you don't actually know what these tricks are.

> Both can also now fly, which was unexpected of Renko, since it's very, very abnormal for pure, normal humans to fly. The only one you can think of is Sakuya. And no-one's even sure of Sakuya is even human.

> You can gather information using your insects.

> There are loads of insects on the mountain. The most common would be ants, but they are slow, and get lost after a few seconds due to losing their scent trails.

> So, instead, you decide to rely on butterflies.

> You send a message to the butterflies. You're not sure how long it would take, of course, and you know Hina isn't the fastest being in her own right.

> "So, uh, you gonna stay here till she comes back or something?" Medicine asks.

> Medicine shrugs. "Whatever, I don't even really know this Rumia."

> She's telling the truth about that. In fact, in general, Medicine is pretty anti-social. That said, anti-social is better than what she used to be, a borderline psychopath who would poison anyone unfortunate enough to run into her.

> Rumia has told you about her run-in with Enkura, and the whole Rika craziness. Not a lot has happened since then, although she did spend a whole week in Makai at one point, apparently a holiday.

> You also know her scary, crazy self died. Rika killed her. You guess that's why Rika has stopped attempting to kill Rumia. She kinda succeeded already.
