['Complete'] Rumia Quest V: The Further Adventures

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Is there any sign of a string or rope or anything attached to the bucket? If not: "I don't see any string."

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "What can I say, I'm a nice guy."

[Raikaria]

>Is there any sign of a string or rope or anything attached to the bucket? If not: "I don't see any string."

> There isn't, so you point it out.

> "No-no, it's because as my nature as a bucket demon it's like... a concept. Even if the rope dosen't exist, I can't bring myself to go lower than what the rope could take me while it still existed... kinda like birds can't fly without their wings."

> "It must be a bucket thing, like my wings are a bird thing." Mystcia agrees.

>Grin. "What can I say, I'm a nice guy."

> ".... I hope you're not a guy. You look female."

[Hanzo K.]

>Facepalm. "Figure of speech."
>"Anyhow, let's give it a go eh? Buckets were made to be carried after all."
>Let's see about carrying the bucket with us.

[Raikaria]

>Facepalm. "Figure of speech."
>"Anyhow, let's give it a go eh? Buckets were made to be carried after all."
>Let's see about carrying the bucket with us.

> "Well not many people talk to me, you know?" she says.

> You pick Kisume and her bucket out of the air. She's pretty small, and surprisingly light.

> "Oooh, this feels funny." she comments.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Funny good, or funny bad? Or funny weird?"
>"Well, let's see if this works eh?"
>Let's roll for the city!

[Raikaria]

>"Funny good, or funny bad? Or funny weird?"
>"Well, let's see if this works eh?"
>Let's roll for the city!

> "... Funny Weird."

> You head to the city. You hear Kisume breathing heavily as you suddenly accelerate downwards, a little paniced, but she soon stops.

> You reach Parsee's bridge. There is an Oni sitting on it. She doesn't seem consumed by envy like Parsee was in the past, she just seems consumed by the alcohol bottle she has. And the five more empty ones next to her.

[Hanzo K.]

>"How you holdin' up? Nice to see new places, isn't it? The way I see it, Well Buckets can be taken off the rope to be carried around. That didn't really hit me until you mentioned a rope was holding you back. And since we're friends and all, I figured that I may as well help ya."
>Grin. "I consider just about everyone in Gensokyo a friend after all. Though Rika's more of a Rival than anything else."
>Oni haven't changed one bit. Them and drinkin' will always be a constant, won't it?

[Raikaria]

> "Well I never said I wanted to go, but this is interestin anyway." Kisume says.

> "Who's Rika?"

> "They say our blood is as much alcohol as most have water!" the Oni says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Rika's this Android I fought back before the Lunar Incident. She was involved with it, but she was the culprit of an incident before that one. She used to be human, then due to the incident she kicked off, she ended up a Youkai. She didn't like that one jot, so she used her power over machinery to turn herself into a machine."
>Grin. "She's a good opponent, nice and strong."
>"Heheh, that's what the rumors say about you guys at least. How's stuff been down here?"

[Raikaria]

> "Rika the Robot?" Kisume says.

> "Strong isn't nice for me. I'm pretty weak, all I can do is drop fireballs on people."

> "Ahhhh... pretty dull. Except that one time Okku fell asleep while she was adjusting the fires. Things got really hot that day down 'ere." the Oni says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "That's pretty much what she is. Her body's a real durable one, I'd say it's on par with my own, or an Oni's. And I can really muster a good hit y'know."
>Grin. "Well, at least there weren't any incidents, eh? Aside from Okuu passin' out. Maybe I should make sure she ain't comin' down with something."

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "That's pretty much what she is. Her body's a real durable one, I'd say it's on par with my own, or an Oni's. And I can really muster a good hit y'know."
>Grin. "Well, at least there weren't any incidents, eh? Aside from Okuu passin' out. Maybe I should make sure she ain't comin' down with something."

> "Really?" Kisume says. "I dunno how durable people are."

> "Ah there was no problem. Okku's just an idiot and fell asleep of her own absent-mindedness." the Oni says, before laughing, "Things would be boring down here if the hellfires were not controlled by a moron who gives fairies a run for their money in stupid!"

> "That's an insult to fairies!" Cirno says. Interesting that even Cirno thinks Okku is dumb.

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh it up with the Oni! "And stuff bein' boring's no fun either, how else are folks like us gonna spend the centuries, eh?"
>Talk about a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Ah well, she did get dumber when she ascended. Not that she wasn't very bright to begin with.

[Raikaria]

>Laugh it up with the Oni! "And stuff bein' boring's no fun either, how else are folks like us gonna spend the centuries, eh?"
>Talk about a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Ah well, she did get dumber when she ascended. Not that she wasn't very bright to begin with.

> "Oh yeah, if everything was stagnant things would be boring as Heaven!"

> Yeah, although you honestly are not sure who's smarter of the two... discounting their specialties, Ice and Nuclear Energy.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, we can always try a little something later.
>"Boring stuff's no way to go through life! Gotta keep it fresh and exciting!"
>What sort of shenanigans do we usually get up to when we aren't teaching Seiga, or resolving Incidents?

[Raikaria]

>Well, we can always try a little something later.
>"Boring stuff's no way to go through life! Gotta keep it fresh and exciting!"
>What sort of shenanigans do we usually get up to when we aren't teaching Seiga, or resolving Incidents?

> "That's the creed of the Oni, you know. Half the reason we left the Youkai Mountain. I think."

> It is better to ask what kind of shenanigans you don't get into. You do hang around with Cirno after all.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Nice way to live. S'how I live too. Gotta keep things spicy between solving incidents after all!"
>True enough, Cirno's a crazy one.

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Nice way to live. S'how I live too. Gotta keep things spicy between solving incidents after all!"
>True enough, Cirno's a crazy one.

> "It's how all youkai should live." the oni says.

> Yep, Cirno's nuts. So are most of the other fairies, for that matter.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod with a reckless grin. "Got that right! Well, we're gonna get down to the city now, seeya on the way out or somethin'!"
>Let's roll!

[Raikaria]

>Nod with a reckless grin. "Got that right! Well, we're gonna get down to the city now, seeya on the way out or somethin'!"
>Let's roll!

> The oni just raises a bottle in in response.

> You and your group continue to the Underground City. The place looks repaired compared to after the Shinki Incident. To this day you don't know if Shinki's invasion or Yuugi caused more damage during that event.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Yknow guys, I never did figure out who did more damage to the place. Was it Shinki? Or Yuugi?"
>Grin. "Ah well, we're lookin' to meet up with Yuugi anyhow."

[Raikaria]

>"Yknow guys, I never did figure out who did more damage to the place. Was it Shinki? Or Yuugi?"
>Grin. "Ah well, we're lookin' to meet up with Yuugi anyhow."

> "I think it was the party afterwards!" Wriggle says.

> "Question is how do we find Yuugi?" Mystcia says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh it up! "Now there's something that didn't hit me! That was a pretty wild one, wasn't it?"
>Grin nostalgically. "Man,  it feels almost like that party was hundreds of years ago."
>Then grin roguishly. "But y'know, that party after the Lunar Incident really gave it a run for it's money."
>"As for findin' her, let's just fly around looking. And if someone looks for a brawl, then I'll take 'em on!"
>Let's just roam around until we find her, or someone who might be able to point the way. Who knows, maybe we'll find Orin. :3

[Raikaria]

>Laugh it up! "Now there's something that didn't hit me! That was a pretty wild one, wasn't it?"
>Grin nostalgically. "Man,  it feels almost like that party was hundreds of years ago."

>Let's just roam around until we find her, or someone who might be able to point the way. Who knows, maybe we'll find Orin. :3

> "Yeah but that one was right next to the lake, not in the middle of a city." Cirno says.

> You fly around the city. You notice Parsee sitting atop a building, playing a strange instrument, a string instrument.

[If you wanna see Orin just visit Satori, she might know where Yuugi is, after all]

[The instrument Parsee has is a traditional Persian instrument, the Tar. Seeing as Parsee is confirmed to be inspired by Persian culture to some extent, I thought it fitting.]

[Hanzo K.]

(Well, the logic there was that we'd potentially end up catching her roaming about, as per usual for her. And nice pick for Parsee.)

>"Whoa...That's a pretty neat sound...Maybe I oughta learn an instrument or two..."
>Let's fly over and listen for a while.

[Raikaria]

(Well, the logic there was that we'd potentially end up catching her roaming about, as per usual for her.)

>"Whoa...That's a pretty neat sound...Maybe I oughta learn an instrument or two..."
>Let's fly over and listen for a while.

> "I dunno where you'd find something like that, Rumia." Kogasa says.

> You fly over to Parsee. She keeps playing for a few moments, before bringing the tune to a end, and looking at you.

> "... Hi." Parsee says.

> "He...hello Miss Green Eyes." Kisume says, poking her head out of the bucket.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Yo. That's a pretty neat instrument there, It's got a nice sound."
>Grin in a slightly sheepish way. "Kinda wishing I knew how to play an instrument myself. It's definitely a skill to envy."
>"Don't worry Kisume, she's a good person on the inside. She just doesn't really do crowds that well."

[Raikaria]

>"Yo. That's a pretty neat instrument there, It's got a nice sound."
>Grin in a slightly sheepish way. "Kinda wishing I knew how to play an instrument myself. It's definitely a skill to envy."
>"Don't worry Kisume, she's a good person on the inside. She just doesn't really do crowds that well."

> "Really? Interesting." Parsee says.

> "Paruparu..."

> "I don't really do people in general well. Kinda didn't have contact with anyone for over 1,000 years."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sit back with a slight smile. "Kinda funny, isn't it? You spent all that time being envious of other folks, and here you've got a talent that others can be envious of."
