Rumia Quest VI: Succession [Complete]

[Raikaria]

This may be Rumia Quest, however, you are not Rumia. Not yet.



You are currently Maribel Han [I will be using Han and not Hearn, as this is the name the wiki uses]. You are currently in the room that the Necromancy Club uses for meetings, waiting for your best friend, Renko Usami.

Why are you meeting?

Because today is the day you visit the land of your dreams, Gensokyo.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's sit and wait patiently. We brought supplies didn't we? A visit to a land like that requires them after all!

[Raikaria]

>Let's sit and wait patiently. We brought supplies didn't we? A visit to a land like that requires them after all!

> You sit and wait.

> Yes, you have brought a bag of supplies, specifically, a picnic! You don't expect to stay, just spend the day there and have Renko tell where it is exactly.

> It dosen't take long for Renko to show up.



> "Oh, hello Mary!" she says, using her nickname that you don't like too much. Still, you know it's because she's pretty much incapable of pronouncing Maribel for some reason.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod with a smile. "Today's the day~!"

(Also, it's VI, not IV.)

[Raikaria]

>Nod with a smile. "Today's the day~!"

(Also, it's VI, not IV.)

> "Yes, I'll finally get to see that world you keep dreaming of." Renko says. "I still don't understand why your powers suddenly changed overnight. Until a couple of days ago you could only see boundaries, but now you can change them..."

> Indeed, you did change some boundaries a few days ago, you changed some things from red to blue, and moved two things so they were touching without actually touching them. You're pretty sure that you can open the largest boundary which you always see, to the land of Gensokyo, in fact, it seems to call to you.

[Hanzo K.]

>"I'm not sure either, but it feels almost like it's calling me. I don't know why, but maybe we'll find out when we get there."
>Smile. "So, shall we?"
>Did we plan to just cross through here? Or were we going to do so from elsewhere?

[Raikaria]

>"I'm not sure either, but it feels almost like it's calling me. I don't know why, but maybe we'll find out when we get there."
>Smile. "So, shall we?"
>Did we plan to just cross through here? Or were we going to do so from elsewhere?

> "Interesting. That said, that place has always been in your dreams, and if it's as magical as you say it is... well, the only way to find out would be to go there!" Renko says enthusiastically.

> Renko nods.

> You planned to cross here, since this is another place vivid in your mind, and should be easy to find a border to return through.

> It takes a lot of effort and focus for you to manipulate borders, but you've been practising the last couple of days, since you found out you could suddenly do so, and you felt your capabilities rapidly increasing. Still, ripping open the border to Gensokyo takes almost everything you have, and Renko has to catch you from collapsing from a brief dizzy spell.

> You see a dark forest in front of you, on the other side of the opened boundary.

> "Wow." Renko says. It seems it worked, if Renko can see the forest too.

[Hanzo K.]

>"It's kinda dark. But it's got the same time as ours so it shouldn't be night...Just something else to find out I guess, so let's go! We can catch our breath there."
>Let's head through with her!

[Raikaria]

>"It's kinda dark. But it's got the same time as ours so it shouldn't be night...Just something else to find out I guess, so let's go! We can catch our breath there."
>Let's head through with her!

> "Yes... you sure that place is in our timezone?" Renko asks.

> You go through the boundary, and it closes behind you. Unless you put effort into keeping something open that is not supposed to be, it closes.

> The forest is dark, yet you can see the sun in the sky. The darkness doesn't feel natural either.

> Renko looks at the sky.

> "We're in Japan still... but I can't tell exactly where. It's the same day, same time as Kyoto, give or take a minute. So at least we aren't too far from home... but still, why has no-one else found this place if it's in Japan?"

> You see something move. Something human-like... and the darkness fades.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Whoa..I think there's someone else here Renko."

[Raikaria]

>"Whoa..I think there's someone else here Renko."

> "Huh? I didn't see anything, I was looking at the sky." Renko says, looking down.

> "I didn't think you'd be here so soon. Nor that someone else would come with you." a adult female voice says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Who are you..?"

[Raikaria]

>"Who are you..?"

> "Oh, sorry, I had to make sure you wouldn't panic if I suddenly appeared before you~" the voice says, before a figure emerges from between the trees, a young woman, with short-blonde hair, dressed in a black dress, with white sleeves. However, her crimson eyes gave off a feeling that she was not a human. What was even more curious were the wisps of darkness coming off her fingers.



> "I'm Rumia, I guess you could call me the head of this forest. Meanwhile, you look just like someone I made a promise to."

[Hanzo K.]

>"I...I do...?"
>Do we know about anyone who would look just like us?

[Raikaria]

>"I...I do...?"
>Do we know about anyone who would look just like us?

> "Yes. She's dead now though." Rumia says. "You look about ten years younger than her, although, I assume you're still a human, so you're probably hundreds of years younger."

> No, you do not know.

[Hanzo K.]

>"...Dead..? Wait, more importantly, what do you mean by 'still human'...?"
>Beat.
>"...Ah! I think this is the time where we introduce ourselves..? I'm Maribel, Maribel Han. Renko, you can introduce yourself can't you?"

[Raikaria]

>"...Dead..? Wait, more importantly, what do you mean by 'still human'...?"
>Beat.
>"...Ah! I think this is the time where we introduce ourselves..? I'm Maribel, Maribel Han. Renko, you can introduce yourself can't you?"

> "I'm a darkness youkai. Well. Kinda, long story. You came here without knowing that the majority of Gensokyo's inhabitants are youkai? Don't worry, we're more civilized than the youkai in your history books. We don't eat people anymore." Rumia says. "The one who looked like you was probably the strongest youkai ever, but she died two days ago."

> Renko nods, and introduces herself, somewhat hesitantly.

> Rumia looks at you again. "She wasn't kidding when she said I'd know her when I see her... you're the spitting image of that youkai."

[Hanzo K.]

>"...You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of her or anything?"

[Hawkpath1337]

>Be Awesome.
>Bother the Parsee.

[Raikaria]

>"...You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of her or anything?"

> "I dunno. Ask Aya... oh wait, you don't know anyone here." Rumia says. She thinks for a few moments.

> "I can't take you to see Aya, she's on the other side of Gensokyo... hmm... oh wait maybe there's a back issue in the human village! I know who to ask!"

[Hanzo K.]

>"...How far away is this? I didn't really plan on making this an extended stay. I only brought enough supplies for a picnic."

[Raikaria]

>"...How far away is this? I didn't really plan on making this an extended stay. I only brought enough supplies for a picnic."

> "The human village isn't far, about five minutes by..."

> Rumia stops.

> "You can't fly can you?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Sweatdrop. "I don't think so."
>If we can mess with boundaries, then maybe there's a way to let us fly..? Since we don't know this place as well as we know the other side, boundary-crossing straight there is out of the question.

[Raikaria]

>Sweatdrop. "I don't think so."
>If we can mess with boundaries, then maybe there's a way to let us fly..? Since we don't know this place as well as we know the other side, boundary-crossing straight there is out of the question.

> "Aw. That's gonna complicate things. I guess I could carry you, but if flying isn't natural to you you'd probably start panicking and that could make me drop you." Rumia says.

> She thinks.

> "I'll tell you what, there's a nice place, a lake, a little to the east. There's loads of fairies there, and a couple of my friends. I'll go and see about that picture at the human village."

You're not gonna quit on that are you?


>What do we know about fairies from the dreams we've had?

>What do we know about fairies from the dreams we've had?

> Not much, since you don't know what of the many things you've seen a fairy is.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Could you give me a quick description of what they look like?"
