Yukari Quest, continued... Again?!

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Poor China, no one actually respects her. Far be it for us to break tradition though.
>"Hello Shou, everything alright here lately?"
>Do we have anything to stop Yamane from poisoning us when we go ask her about Kisume?

>Isn't it sad, Meiling?
>"Hmm? Yes, we have been fine. You seem to have been busy."
>Why would you?

>_

[Darkoda]

>"As long as the Yama doesn't catch on, I'll be fine~"
>We have all kinds of stuff around after all. Can we make something do that we don't die from a poisoning?
>What do we know about Yuuka Kazami?

>"As long as it all worked out, I suppose."
>You could probably make a general antidote if you so desired, though you don't really register Yamame Kurodani as a significant threat.
>A rather troublesome individual. She is extremely powerful, but tends not to leave her garden. You have not interacted with this person.

[Darkoda]

>Let's go home and freshen up and get some food

[qMyon]

>Refresh our memory: Are there any more rifts? If so, where are they?

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Let's go home and freshen up and get some food

>You decide to leave Shou to her own devices for the time being and return to your own home.
>Once inside, you find Ran drinking some tea in the dining room, who gives you a small nod.
>"Welcome home, master."

>Refresh our memory: Are there any more rifts? If so, where are they?

>You can see many tears running across the skies.
>You do not know of any other tears that may exist.

>_

[Darkoda]

>"Thank you Ran. For now at least, Utsuho is alive again and I'm out of known rifts."
>"A small break before continuing won't hurt, especially since I need to actively search for the tears now."
>The tears tend to be by notable places. We've gone through Eientei, the Netherworld, Higan, Moriya Shrine, the forest of magic, the Human Village, and SDM.
>Going by Hakurei shrine is right out till we fix everything else, so who is left?
>Can we sense where the main tears are in the border now or is something still interfering?

>"That is good to hear, master."
>"Do you require anything for your break?"
>"Do the tears in the sky not look similar to the one that was outside Hakugyokurou?"
>You've certainly explored many places lately. You suppose that places you have yet to visit include the underground, the Garden of the Sun, and Bhava Agra.
>You still feel an interference if you try to remotely search for tears.

>_

[Shadoweh]

> ..Do they look similar to the tear in Hakugyokurou? Do they feel the same?
> "Just food and drink for now."
> "Has there been any progress with Byakuren and her quest?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> ..Do they look similar to the tear in Hakugyokurou? Do they feel the same?
> "Just food and drink for now."
> "Has there been any progress with Byakuren and her quest?"

>They do. You haven't been close enough one to see if they feel the same.
>Ran takes a rather long sip of her tea before replying.
>"Very well then, master. I shall be back shortly."
>Before Ran leaves, though, you ask her another question.
>"Somewhat. They appear to have arrived at a conclusion, at the very least."
>Ran disappears from your view for a moment before reappearing with some inari sushi on a tray, which she places on the table.

>_

[Shadoweh]

> "What was the conclusion? Did they recover Nue?"
> Obviously not since we haven't completed that sidequest.
> "Now that my obligation to Satori is complete, I can aid them if they are still having troubles."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "What was the conclusion? Did they recover Nue?"
> Obviously not since we haven't completed that sidequest.
> "Now that my obligation to Satori is complete, I can aid them if they are still having troubles."

>"That they'll simply rescue her when the time comes. They plan to do this when you eventually confront the red-white."
>You wonder when you got this handy to-do list, and why it says 'FAILED' next to 'Find Nue.'. As you read through this list, you get the feeling that the entirety of your life has already been mapped out for you.
>"At this point, I do not think that there is much more for them to do, master."

>_

[Shadoweh]

> "Perhaps not, but I will at least make the offer. I might just edge them over the boundary of what's possible~"
> Eat! Food is Good!

[Darkoda]

>Actually we already did make the offer to help with Byakuren and went through the whole not trying to do everything along thing so no point in repeating ourselves.
>Which is closer, the Underground entrance or the tears in the sky?

[Shadoweh]

We can open as many gaps as we want at this point. :V They are all equally close. We know Byakuren didn't get any closer without us, now that Okuu isn't dead we should see if we can free up Nue for them.

[Darkoda]

Oh right, the sky is definitely within sight. So might as well see about that first.

Eh, sounds like they got the Nue thing dealt with actually. Though it probably wouldn't hurt to ask why they need to wait for us to go at Reimu.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "Perhaps not, but I will at least make the offer. I might just edge them over the boundary of what's possible~"
> Eat! Food is Good!

>"If you believe that to be the best course of action, master."
>You take a seat and begin eating. Ran stands by your side as you do so.

>Actually we already did make the offer to help with Byakuren and went through the whole not trying to do everything along thing so no point in repeating ourselves.
>Which is closer, the Underground entrance or the tears in the sky?

>You certainly did. You wonder if you should bother trying again.
>If you were to travel by flight, the tears in the sky would be closer.

>_

[Shadoweh]

It sounds like they just gave up. :V
> "Where is Byakuren and her followers now? In case I do decide to drop by later."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "Where is Byakuren and her followers now? In case I do decide to drop by later."

>"I believe that they are currently resting within the house allocated to them, master."

>_

[Darkoda]

>Leave it alone. It doesn't sound border related and Byakuren and crew are more likely to deal with it than we are - remember Koishi?
>Besides, trouble comes to us just fine; we're liable to run into her without actually trying if its really major. At the least, it's all of them now instead of just Byakuren so we did make some progress after all.
>For now though, we should investigate those sky cracks. Finish eating, then off to the sky.
>"For now, I'll see if I can do anything about our cracked sky. It doesn't even give a proper light kaleidoscope like stained glass. It also seems that those tears won't let anyone but me in, so I leave things here to you once again Ran."
>To the sky!

>To the sky!

>You decide against meeting Byakuren and decide to investigate the tears in the sky.
>You're bound to see Nue at some point or another, right?
>You finish eating before preparing to leave once more.
>"Safe journeys, master."
>Ran gives you a small bow as you fly off towards the heavens.
>After around half an hour of flight, you find yourself under the nearest tear in the sky.

>_

[Darkoda]

>Can we open it up like all the other tears?

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Can we open it up like all the other tears?

>You feel that you could, if you so desired.

>_

[Darkoda]

>Get our parasol and bag of stuff out first, then it's time to go gap diving again.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Get our parasol and bag of stuff out first, then it's time to go gap diving again.

>You've been carrying your gear around for some time now.
>Like the other tears, you reach towards the tear and begin to open up a hole within it.
>Soon, you've got a gap large enough within the tear to fly through.

>_

[Darkoda]

>Let's go in.
>Hopefully this won't be as bad or worse than the others. We're out of notable people, how bad can it be?

[Hanzo K.]

>....Bhava-Agra?

[Darkoda]

>The last thing we need right now is putting up with the Celestials.
>What is our relationship with them? Especially Tenshi and Iku.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Let's go in.
>Hopefully this won't be as bad or worse than the others. We're out of notable people, how bad can it be?

>You decide to fly through the gap that you've opened up.
>On the other side, you find yourself in the middle of a cloud.

>....Bhava-Agra?

>You fly further up and out of the cloud to confirm that you are, indeed, in Bhava Agra.
>You can see a few small islands nearby, as well as a much larger one with an ornate palace on it.

>The last thing we need right now is putting up with the Celestials.
>What is our relationship with them? Especially Tenshi and Iku.

>You really don't want to deal with celestials in general.
>You rather dislike Tenshi Hinanawi and believe the feeling to be mutual.
>You are impartial to Iku Nagae.

>_

[Darkoda]

>Do we really have to save them of all people?
>Do we have our gap powers?
>To the overcompensation palace.
