Do we like surprises? If no, worry more about who our mystery visitor is. Also ask "Well, can you give me a hint at least?"

~~If yes, find Kogasa~~.

> It depends on what the surprise is. There are good surprises and bad surprises. And Kogasa surprises. But that's a whole other tub of lamprey.

~~> You don't think Kogasa would do anything that dosen't involve her surpriseing others.~~

>What do we know about the Prismrivers?

> You know that they are the best muscians in Gensokyo, and that they are Poltergeists, spirits who can control items, and as such, not alive. They are generally found in one of two places, high in the sky, near the portal to the Neverworld, or in a haunted mansion, although you don't know where this mansion is. Their freind could be from either the Netherworld, or the mansion, the way you see it.

> That said, it could also be some other muscian, or even a singer. You simply don't know enough about their relations with others.

> Although, you are aware if their freind is from the Neverworld, it may be her

What's our best hope of escape if our visitor turns out to be a ghost girl with a fondness for sparrow?

> You figure there are two options, the first is flying away. which you doubnt would work if Youmu is around, since she's a lot faster than you. The second is making her take a greater fondness for lamprey.

~~> A third option is being food, of course, with a fourth option of getting someone to protect you, like Reimu, but bugging her is even more dangerous...~~

~~Pray to Kanako, Suwako, Utsuho, the Aki sisters, Hina, Eiki, Byakuren, and Miko for divine protection.~~

Not much more we can do until the visitor arrives, I suppose. Perhaps position stand so that if we fly away, we fly into the sun, which may help deter followers.

~~Byakuren and Miko can't help you, they are not gods. Nor's Eiki but she's kinda a big enough deal.~~

> The Primsrivers fly off, and you wait.

> You feel a presence, behind you. A weird presence. One you have felt before, but is also unique. Youkai know when a human is nearby, but you're getting a weird feeling from this one. Rinnosuke gave off a weird feeling too, but different, more freindly, as he was half youkai.

> "I have no intention of doing anything except guarding Lady Yuyuko. I'm pretty sure she's not planning to drink either." Youmu says. "To be frank, however, you can never be sure with Lady Yuyuko, everything she does is for some, whimsical, unknown purpose. Very similar to Yukari."

> This makes you wonder if her 'eating' you was for some plan of hers. You doubt it.

> "Pull yourself together Mystcia! I was beat up by Yuyuko that night too! You don't see me flipping out! Sure, I didn't get eaten like you did, but Youmu was a lot rougher with me. Besides, if she wanted to eat you, surely she'd have not sent a note?!"

> Wriggle stops. "Besides... I've not seen Rumia for a coupl'a weeks. She told me she needed to work on some trick."

[Note: Rumia Quest 4 will begin soon, we're getting near the plot point. After the whole Yuyuko affair you can ask for characters to show up at the stand in an OCC manner to speak with on a casual basis. Obviously some, like Rika, or the denizins of Makai, wouldn't come, but most characters would.]

Begin to calm down. "Yeah... you're probably right. Still, it's Yuyuko, you know? I'm just not comfortable being within ten leagues of her."

> "Precisely, just do what she wants and it should be OK. Besides, who knows what netherworld shiny she's got!" Wriggle says happily.

> Wriggle nods.

> You wait, until Youmu shows up again, and sits down. Then, a gap opens.

> Wait, a gap?!

> Yuyuko comes out of it, but is also followed by Yukari. Suddenly your fear has magnified tenfold while dropped tenfold at the same time. Which isn't even possible. Maybe that's just Yukari messing with the boundry of fear or something.

> Either way, you know this. It's mid-day. Yukari being out at this time is almost unheard of.

> "Well well Youmu, look who it is. Are you sure it's this youkai who's cooking for us?" Yuyuko says, covering her mouth with her fan.

> "Don't scare her Yuyuko..." Yukari said. "She's not the meal. She's the chef."

IdiotsOpposite · « **Reply #324 on:** June 26, 2012, 08:20:00 PM »

Bright side: Yuyuko won't eat us with Yukari around. Probably. We may just make it out of this alive and in one piece. Allow this to brighten up our day.

Dark side: It's Yukari, enough said.

With that in mind, though, this is still a little bit brighter than what we were imagining. So let's get a smile on our face and ask them how much they'd like!

> Indeed. Yukari is probobly the one being who can understand Yuyuko, except maybe Ran as well, but no-one can understand Yukari.

> Not to mention no-one trusts Yukari, since she's ALWAYS plotting something. 99% of the time it's harmless stuff or even benificial to Gensokyo.

> "So then, will the chef give us the meal we are waiting for?" Yuyuko says.

> "Hmm, the Nightbug is here too. I wonder where the other three of your troupe are." Yukari says.

> That's weird. You get the feeling Yukari would know where your freinds are if she wanted to know.

Have we actually started grilling yet? If not, better get on that. Attempt to make light conversation while grilling. Something like "So, how are things going with you two?"

> You begin grilling two lamprey. You recall Youmu saying earlier she wasn't eating, after all.

> "We're not at liabilty to tell you right now. We're... prepareing, but if we say what for, it'll cause panic across Gensokyo. Something is coming, and if I cannot stop it, preferably peacefully, we are all in danger." Yukari said.

> Yuyuko eats her in a few seconds flat. Yukari opens a gap, and you see a face you don't recognise right away come out. A cat's.

> "Here you go Chen." Yukari says, the cat eating happily, before her head pops back in the gap, which closes. Upon hearing Chen you recall it is Ran's Shikigami, who was there breifly in the underground before she left to get more allies.

> "Oh, so you didn't intend to eat anyway?" Yuyuko says.

> "Maybe I am here for another reason?" Yukari says. "Maybe the food was not my objective?"
