Yuyuko Quest II - Memory Lane Parade

[Nekomata-chan]

>Crawl out of the gap in a slow and jerky manner while making a downright creepy hissing and wheezing noise.

>You crawl out of the gap, just as Hatate notices you.
>The static gives a satisfyingly creepy effect, whilst you jerk around whilst crawling.

>Hatate screams loudly and begins to try and climb up the bamboo stalk she was sitting against. It's, unfortunately, very hard to grip on, and she is stuck several feet above the ground. All she can do is use the crooks of her elbows to keep her from sliding down.

[Hanzo K.]

>Skitter on over to the bamboo, just like in that movie.
>"Hihihihihihihihihi.....N-O...E-S-C-A-P-E...." Ah, do be sure to alter our voice so she can't tell it's us!


(And yes, that's a reference to FF6.)

[Nekomata-chan]

>Skitter on over to the bamboo, just like in that movie.
>"Hihihihihihihihihi.....N-O...E-S-C-A-P-E...." Ah, do be sure to alter our voice so she can't tell it's us!

>You scurry over to the bamboo, and Hatate attempts to climb further up.

>As soon as you speak, she begins to shriek loudly, and tries to kick you to get you away from her. Unfortunately, she can barely see in the fog, and does more damage to herself.
>Hatate loses balance and falls about a foot in front of you.

[Hanzo K.]

>And now....Tacklehug! "Hihihihihihihihiihihi....Got you."

[Nekomata-chan]

>And now....Tacklehug! "Hihihihihihihihiihihi....Got you."

>Hatate shrieks, still in panic-mode.
>"If I die, tell Aya I love her!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Change back to normal, including our voice, and disperse the fog and wisps. "Will do dear~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Change back to normal, including our voice, and disperse the fog and wisps. "Will do dear~"

>Hatate notices it's you, and immediately freezes.

>Then, she gets on her feet and begins shouting at you, "Why do something like that?! Are you some kind of psycho?! You nearly gave me a freaking heart attack!!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "I was bored, and you seemed so content with yourself that I couldn't help but want to scare you~ It's a ghost thing dearie~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "I was bored, and you seemed so content with yourself that I couldn't help but want to scare you~ It's a ghost thing dearie~"

>Hatate whimpers, "Whatever it was... it was mean..."

>She quickly pulls the pictures out of her pocket and counts them, "They're all there, at least. Money for me~..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Look at them. "Oh my, are those pictures of the taoists from earlier~? I was wondering what kind of antics they got up to after we left them~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Look at them. "Oh my, are those pictures of the taoists from earlier~? I was wondering what kind of antics they got up to after we left them~!"

>Hatate nods, "Yeah, funny, aren't they?"
>She flips to the more risqu? one, "Especially this one~!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod with a grin. "Indeed~!"
>Smirk slyly. "I should keep more up to date on things like that~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod with a grin. "Indeed~!"
>Smirk slyly. "I should keep more up to date on things like that~"

>Hatate grins, "I only managed to take these photographs through Soga no Tojiko using spirit photography. Notice how she's not in any of the photos?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Well, that explains how you got them~"
>Frown slightly. "Though, she's a spirit as well, so I feel a bit of regret at her inability to 'get in on the action', as it were."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Well, that explains how you got them~"
>Frown slightly. "Though, she's a spirit as well, so I feel a bit of regret at her inability to 'get in on the action', as it were."

>Hatate grins, "Lucky for her. When they get published, she won't be scandalised. I may ask Aya to publish them, too, so everyone can see!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Oh yes, about what you said earlier....~"
>Smirk slyly. "I'll be sure to tell Aya. Cheers~!"
>Let's boost back into the gap!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Oh yes, about what you said earlier....~"
>Smirk slyly. "I'll be sure to tell Aya. Cheers~!"
>Let's boost back into the gap!

>You boost back into the gap, with Hatate chasing you, "W-wait, no!"

>The gap closes the second you pass through it.

>Aya stares at you, "So, how'd it go?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle, with a sly grin. "She said to tell you she loves you, of course~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle, with a sly grin. "She said to tell you she loves you, of course~"

>Aya blushes, "W-w-..."
>Then she just brushes it off with a sigh, "Probably just trying to flatter me so I'll stand back and let her paper become #1 in Gensokyo. Like hell."

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "She also may, or may not have soiled herself, judging from how much she was screaming~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "She also may, or may not have soiled herself, judging from how much she was screaming~"

>Aya cringes, "Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross! Did I really need to know that? It's not like I need a Hatate Underwear Weather Check... I am not diving down there any time soon."

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Just speculation on my part though~"
>Look to Yukari. "Yukari dear, let's see how Hatate's faring now~ I half expect she's in a right tizzy after my hasty departure~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Just speculation on my part though~"
>Look to Yukari. "Yukari dear, let's see how Hatate's faring now~ I half expect she's in a right tizzy after my hasty departure~"

>Yukari grins and opens a viewing gap.

>You can see Hatate sat on a thicket of crushed bamboo stalks, looking through her photographs and... looking quite tense.

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Yukari dear, shall we scare her again~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Yukari dear, shall we scare her again~?"

>Yukari laughs, "I think we should. But maybe with less creepiness on our part and more 'You WILL die'... I'm thinking mad-axe murderer."

[Hanzo K.]

>Fistpalm. "Dear, I remembered a movie from the outside world that would work perfectly~!"
>"Hmm...But I'll need a long coat with brown fur trim, a hook, and I think Wriggle can help provide the bees."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Fistpalm. "Dear, I remembered a movie from the outside world that would work perfectly~!"
>"Hmm...But I'll need a long coat with brown fur trim, a hook, and I think Wriggle can help provide the bees."

>Yukari grins and opens a gap. She reaches into it, digging around for a while.
>She then pulls out an almost identical coat to the one you described, and a very sharp-looking hook.

>Wriggle blinks, and summons an entire horde of angry-sounding bees with a smile, "Here we go~! Bees, at your service."

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Great~! Now, calm them down so they won't sting me when I put the coat on over them, okay?"
>"See, I remember that in that movie, the killer was a ghost much like myself, but he used bees to retain a physical form~! And when Yukari mentioned the whole 'axe murderer' part, I remembered that movie~!"


(I assume you've guessed what movie I'm referencing, yes? Albeit incorrectly, but this is Yuyuko doing the referencing technically, so she's bound to have forgotten a few details.)

[GuyYouMetOnline]

*Does not know what movie you're thinking of* Probably because I'm not really into that kind of movie.

[Hanzo K.]

I'm not much of a horror flick buff myself(That's mom's thing.), but I was referencing Candyman.
