Satori Quest - Day in the Life

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "That's why I said she must have picked it up by watching. Either that, or she just naturally has the talent."

>"I remember hearing that she ventures around above ground a lot. Maybe she picked it up there..." Yukari wonders.
>You notice Koishi is staring at you, "Did I surprise you with my awesome ideas?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Step over to her, remove her hat, and ruffle her hair a bit while smiling before replacing her hat. "As a matter of fact, you did."
>"But then again, you are my little sister, so I should've expected this."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Step over to her, remove her hat, and ruffle her hair a bit while smiling before replacing her hat. "As a matter of fact, you did."
>"But then again, you are my little sister, so I should've expected this."

>Koishi gives a small triumphant grin, "I spent a while thinking about that."
>She tilts her hat to a little more comfortable angle, still with that triumphant grin.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "And it shows. Looks like Yumi and a few of her friends will be working even more."
>Walk over to Yumi. "Yumi, I hate to interrupt, but could I borrow you for a bit?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "And it shows. Looks like Yumi and a few of her friends will be working even more."
>Walk over to Yumi. "Yumi, I hate to interrupt, but could I borrow you for a bit?"

>Yumi looks over, "Oh? Yeah, sure. Just chattin' to Orin to keep 'er awake. She's droppin' off!!"
>She walks over, and only now do you realise she is nearly a head taller than you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "I told her to take a rest, I've had her running all over the place today."
>"Anyhow, Koishi had a rather brilliant idea. That was to make trinkets and charms and such to sell at the festival. But I know that we'll need a lot of those, so I'll need you to get in touch with some of your peers who also do metalworking in order to make them all in time. Koishi will be providing the designs, so I'll have her work with you."
>Beckon Koishi over. "Koishi, I'll need you to wirk with Yumi and her friends, it was your idea after all."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "I told her to take a rest, I've had her running all over the place today."

>Yumi glances at Orin, "Yeah, she seemed pretty unresponsive... I thought it was just me and my boring conversation!!"

>"Anyhow, Koishi had a rather brilliant idea. That was to make trinkets and charms and such to sell at the festival. But I know that we'll need a lot of those, so I'll need you to get in touch with some of your peers who also do metalworking in order to make them all in time.

>Beckon Koishi over. "Koishi, I'll need you to wirk with Yumi and her friends, it was your idea after all."

>Yumi looks at Koishi, "Nice idea."
>Koishi and Yumi walk over to two other Oni that had come over to look at the explosion, where Koishi begins telling them about her rather brilliant idea. The three Oni seem impressed, and immediately begin sketching the ideas down with Koishi's assistance and advice.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Well, I shall leave you to getting that part of things planned out. Meanwhile, I have things I must do."
>Wander back to the group. "To be honest, It really was quite a surprise that she came up with something that brilliant, normally she's off in her own little world."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Well, I shall leave you to getting that part of things planned out. Meanwhile, I have things I must do."
>Wander back to the group. "To be honest, It really was quite a surprise that she came up with something that brilliant, normally she's off in her own little world."

>Reimu looks over at Koishi, "Maybe she just realised how much the festival meant to you, so she wanted to make a little contribution. After what the pair of you went through yesterday, it's not much of a surprise that she's so eager to help.."
  Yukari moves in her gap over to Reimu, with a leery smile, "Getting all philosophical and wistfully soft on us, are you?"
  Reimu groans, "No, Yukari. That kind of stuff only happens in..." she pushes on Yukari's head with her index finger, "...your creepy stories!!"
  Marisa smirks, "Don't act like you never get wistful, Reimu, we all know that someday you want to kiss Y-"
  Reimu shrieks and pushes Marisa, "Shut up!! Just because you have half the girls in Gensokyo after your love doesn't mean I'm like that!!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Maybe you're right, but maybe you aren't. She tends to do whatever she pleases, and generally on whatever fancy strikes her."
>Then smile. "But that's what makes her, her. She's my little sister, and I wouldn't change it for the world....Even if she is rather strange at times."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Maybe you're right, but maybe you aren't. She tends to do whatever she pleases, and generally on whatever fancy strikes her."
>Then smile. "But that's what makes her, her. She's my little sister, and I wouldn't change it for the world....Even if she is rather strange at times."

>Yukari laughs, "And you, too. We're all just turning into simpering little girls, aren't we?"
>Marisa, trolling Yukari, just looks upwards, "I wonder how Alice is... she's been more reclusive than usual after I got possessed and nearly killed her..."
>Yukari groans, "Don't you start."

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "But Yukari, we are all just 'little girls'. Do remember, Reimu and Marisa are at that age."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "But Yukari, we are all just 'little girls'. Do remember, Reimu and Marisa are at that age."

>Yukari laughs, "I guess. That pair are so independent and responsible that it's easy to forget how young they really are!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "I can agree with you on that. Kinda makes you feel old doesn't it? Seeing them running around with so much energy. I certainly do."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "I can agree with you on that. Kinda makes you feel old doesn't it? Seeing them running around with so much energy. I certainly do."

>Yukari smirks, "No, I don't feel old at all! I'm very young, still!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "It must feel nice then, being young. Then again, it's been a while since I've had this much to do."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "It must feel nice then, being young. Then again, it's been a while since I've had this much to do."

> Yukari smiles, "I feel the same way. I haven't had much to do since that gathering mist incident in which Reimu met my 'friend': Tenshi Hinanawi."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hmm... I believe she is a celestial, yes? From what little I've heard, she rather enjoys fighting."
>Smirk. "I have no doubts that if she hears about the tourney, she'll likely enter just to kill time."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Hmm... I believe she is a celestial, yes? From what little I've heard, she rather enjoys fighting."
>Smirk. "I have no doubts that if she hears about the tourney, she'll likely enter just to kill time."

>Yukari smirks, "I don't think it'll be just to kill time, you know... But yes, Tenshi is a celestial. A rather easily bored celestial, at that."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Well, at least she promises to give a good show if she does attend. I've heard celestials are rather powerful, and that she was behind those earthquakes a while ago."
>Frown slightly. "You wouldn't believe the repairs I had to deal with. And it wasn't just me, but others as well. From what I hear, Reimu also lost her shrine to those quakes, yes?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Well, at least she promises to give a good show if she does attend. I've heard celestials are rather powerful, and that she was behind those earthquakes a while ago."
>Frown slightly. "You wouldn't believe the repairs I had to deal with. And it wasn't just me, but others as well. From what I hear, Reimu also lost her shrine to those quakes, yes?"

>Yukari giggle, "Yes. You should have seen the fight between that pair. Reimu hurling seal after charm after talisman after amulet after.. you get the picture. Tenshi would give an amazing performance, as long as you don't object to several tremors. I'll keep my eye on her, and if need be then I'll quickly escort her should she threaten the underground with severe earthquakes. Reckless girl, sometimes."
>Reimu raises an eyebrow, "She caused damage to the underground too? All Marisa got were winds and soaking wet clothes..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Well Yukari, remember the idea for the battle festa? separate dimension for the fighters and all that."
>"The earthquake that damaged your shrine reached down here, likely because the shrine is overhead. I didn't think much of it at the time, considering it to be a normal one."
>"But that was a while back, you wouldn't be able to tell where the damage happened because it's all been repaired."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Well Yukari, remember the idea for the battle festa? separate dimension for the fighters and all that."
>"The earthquake that damaged your shrine reached down here, likely because the shrine is overhead. I didn't think much of it at the time, considering it to be a normal one."
>"But that was a while back, you wouldn't be able to tell where the damage happened because it's all been repaired."

>Reimu shrugs, "You could still probably tell that the shrine got levelled. It's still a little rickety in places, but I'm working on it. Kind of."
>Yukari laughs, "Working on it... how cute! Reimu, all you did when it first happened was fly all over Gensokyo and complain to anyone in sight. Then you found out some stuff and beat Tenshi. But mostly you complained."

>Over in Koishi's little corner, she follows the Oni as they go and fetch some metal.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk amusedly. "That's probably the case. But then again, isn't that how most incidents are resolved anymore? Just a lot of flying around gathering information, with the occasional fight here and there."
>Grin slightly. "It's a shame I can't join the tournaments, what with being the organizer behind everything. I'm not really one for fighting, but it might be fun."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Grin slightly. "It's a shame I can't join the tournaments, what with being the organizer behind everything. I'm not really one for fighting, but it might be fun."

>Reimu shrugs, about to say something, yet Yukari interrupts her, "Occasional fighting? Nope. Reimu just fights whoever gets in her way, picking up whatever information they hope to give her."
>Yukari then grins, but Reimu takes her chance to interrupt Yukari, "I think you should get a spotlight, maybe have a speech at the beginning and end, thanking everyone? I'm sure lots of people would like to know the story behind the festival's origin. People are very interested in the things behind festivals, especially if the festival is a good one."
>Marisa laughs, "True, true, ze! My magically brilliant intuition tells me this entire festival will become historical! It will be one of those things that makes Gensokyo even better!!"
>Koishi returns with the group of blacksmithing Oni, each of them carrying small lumps of good quality metal and chatting happily.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hmm....You might be right there Reimu!"
>Smile faintly. "You know, I'm glad I have such reliable friends. To think that a Youkai of my sort would have so many friends willing to help..."
>All this is just so moving...

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Hmm....You might be right there Reimu!"
>Smile faintly. "You know, I'm glad I have such reliable friends. To think that a Youkai of my sort would have so many friends willing to help..."
>All this is just so moving...

>Reimu shrugs modestly, "It's all a matter of knowing the right people. I'm here to serve Gensokyo's residents all I can, Marisa is here to repay you for helping her out after she raided your spellcard stores, Yukari's here because this is one of the only interesting things to happen in her week."
>Marisa grins, "Besides, it's not like trying to help out Remilia, Yuuka or Kanako. No impending doom should you make a mistake. You're one of the nicest Youkai around, you know. Hard to come by, you know."
>Yukari shrugs exactly like Reimu, "Reimu's half right. I am here because it's an interesting event, but also around because it gave me a chance to get to know you better. Since you seemed so polite during that evil-spirit geyser incident, I thought-"
Reimu laughs, "We get it, Yukari, you were trying to be polite. Still puzzles me how quickly you knew about this whole turn of events when we all thought you were asleep..."
Yukari raises her hand to shush Reimu, "I always know what's going on. Whether I get involved or not is a different story."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Everyone...Yeah."
>"Well then, let's get to work wrapping up the preparations!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Everyone...Yeah."
>"Well then, let's get to work wrapping up the preparations!"

>"Let's get moving!!" Reimu and Marisa say simultaneously.
>Yukari laughs, "It's like their brains have melted into one. How cute. Right, isn't there still the invites to take care of? I can't remember what else."

[Hanzo K.]

>Supress a chuckle. "I wonder if that's really the case?"
>Let's take a quick glance at their minds just to confirm, never hurts to get possible problems out of the way.
