Was that all we had to ask about?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #811 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:25:39 AM »

Yeah. I'm ready to go underground.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #812 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:32:14 AM »

K, we gonna come back for Mystia?

I didn't really have anything to ask Akyu, I just probably would have waited until later, but now we know to shrink a little next time

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #813 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:45:11 AM »

I figured the plan was to go underground, check on the things we needed to, then come back up, grab Mystia and go Hunt the Wumpus.

Sounds good to me

While underground, let's show the sword to Satori. If we're feeling something within it, she may be able to feel it, too, and could probably tell more about it than we can.

>You take to the air, leaving the town behind and heading toward the Underground entrance near the Forest of Magic. Looking toward the gray and murky sky, you'd be surprised if there was no rain by the end of the day. At least it is a cool day, though. And what is that on the northern horizon?

Oh God, if it's the jet.

>You are about at the edge of the Forest of Magic; glancing down you can see the tree line.
>It's something else entirely!
>In the time you take contemplating this, it closes in. You can see it is large and roughly wedge-shaped, made of metal. It is, thankfully, not coming right at you, but it passes by not too far from you in the blink of an eye! Then the wind hits you, blowing you out of the sky and sending you plummeting to the ground! A horrible screeching noise floods your eyes, driving out practically all other sound!
>You tumble through the air, your ears sore and ringing. By the time you are able to regain control, you are fairly close to the ground, and the wedge a distant dot in the southern horizon, much higher into the air than before.

Then again, it's hard to tell with everything spinning like it is and afterechoes of that noise bouncing through your thoughts. And there's some strange smell in the air you can't really identify... You think it's a good thing you skipped breakfast, you're not sure it would have survived...

>You continue onward, trying your best to ignore the ringing that doesn't seem to want to go away. Thankfully, you aren't dizzy anymore, so it is relatively easy to fly as you normally would. However. you find yourself constantly looking toward the northern horizon worryingly. While you don't see that thing anymore, you notice that there are a lot of faeries raising up from the woods and flitting about chaotically. Thankfully, they don't seem to notice you.
>Soon, you reach the cavern mouth without any further problems.

>You make your way toward through the city, taking comfort in the fact that there's no way that wedge could fit underground. Or so you desperately hope.

>Moving further in, passing by a branch in the tunnels, a chamber filled with fissures, then the rocky shelves leading to the city, you see no sign of Kisume. She must still be keeping away from the Ancient City.

Still, at a glance the town has not yet burned down. The music has fallen completely silent, the cavern now feels rather alien, as though you've stumbled upon some odd replica of the Ancient City.

It was done to repair the relationship between Utsuho and Kanako. They pretty much hated each other's guts after the Gensokyo Isle incident, but they needed to work together to finish the jet; flying a jet is/was Sanae's secret guilty pleasure/childhood dream, and apparently a non-trivial motive behind Gensokyo Isle happening in the first place. Now that it's been completed and Sanae is joyriding around Gensokyo, almost impaling anyone she passes by, hopefully the hatchet between those two can finally be buried.

At least until Sanae actually does kill someone.

> Head on home to check out our place.

>You make your way back home. Passing through the edge of the market, you see it is largely abandoned, save for the occasional wary-looking oni making their way elsewhere. You turn toward the pub district, and feel a growing sense of dread as you look around and see shattered windows, broken walls, and smashed barrels and jugs in the streets. Despite this, there seems to be a normal amount of business going through here, though the oni don't look quite so jovial as usual. Still, many establishments are open.
>Hurrying toward your pub, you frown when you notice a large dent in the upper panel of the door, you can immediately tell that someone had their head driven into it. The upper panel is ruined and will need to be replaced, if not the whole door, but the door is still in place and doesn't seem to have been opened.
