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

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Usually she's at that garden, right? And I can just get in touch with Alice or Yukari to get Yumeko. I got prompted into all this because of a letter from Shinki to begin with after all. I would've looked the other way for the most part, but then that letter from Shinki goaded me into full action."
>"...We're gonna need to get Yukari, aren't we?"

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Usually she's at that garden, right? And I can just get in touch with Alice or Yukari to get Yumeko. I got prompted into all this because of a letter from Shinki to begin with after all. I would've looked the other way for the most part, but then that letter from Shinki goaded me into full action."
>"...We're gonna need to get Yukari, aren't we?"

> "Fufufufufu~ You're right, but you're also wrong. There are very few who know enough about Yuuka to understand." Mima says.

> "I'm not sure of Alice can open a portal herself, but if a portal will open anywhere, Alice's house is the most likly location. Even if Shinki can't visit Alice, it might not prevent Shinki opening a portal to send a message, or even have Alice visit her." Mima says.

> "Finding and getting Yukari to help is probably less likely than finding the two Deva who's locations have been unknown for hundreds of years." Eirin says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "So basically, find the garden, and we have a shot at finding Yuuka. Then, we get to Alice's to see if we can get Yumeko to help."
>Chuckle. "And doc, I was actually gonna go hunting for the fourth deva today. I already know a bit about the third one, she's around. She just wants to be alone. Though she did turn out for the lunar incident a little while back."

> "If that's the order you want to do things." Mima says.

> "I won't pry about the third Deva then, if she wants to be alone." Eirin says, before adding, "I guess you know something that not even the brightest minds in Gensokyo know then."

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Does this mean I get extra meat when we resolve this? I love meat!"
>Ah, the simple joys. No matter how mature or powerful we get, we'll still have a soft spot for meat. Delicious, delicious meat.
>Then clear our throat a bit. "Well, um, I don't really plan it in any particular order. But I guess getting to Alice's would be a good first step."

[Raikaria]

>Then clear our throat a bit. "Well, um, I don't really plan it in any particular order. But I guess getting to Alice's would be a good first step."

> "I don't know." Eirin says. "We mainly eat vegetables here because rabbits are herbivores."

> "Well, Alice's is closer than the Garden of the Sun." Mima says. You wonder how she even knows where Alice's house is, but you put it down to Marisa.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Really now. Meat's a healthy part of a good diet too y'know~! I just eat it because it tastes good though."
>Nod. "So you know where alice's place is then, we'll go directly there right away. You're on the lead this time."
>Look to Eirin, Reisen, and Kaguya. "You guys coming along?"

[Raikaria]

>"Really now. Meat's a healthy part of a good diet too y'know~! I just eat it because it tastes good though."
>Nod. "So you know where alice's place is then, we'll go directly there right away. You're on the lead this time."
>Look to Eirin, Reisen, and Kaguya. "You guys coming along?"

> "I said mostly. The earth rabbits don't eat any meat, because they're rabbits, but that doesn't mean the Lunarians are vegetarians." Eirin says.

> "Yes, Marisa dragged me there once when I came to visit her. Why she didn't use the portal she made connecting the two houses I'll never know." Mima says.

> There is a dumb silence for a few moments, before the Eientei group laugh when you ask if Kaguya is coming along.

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow. "Hey, she found Red interesting, so I figured she'd want to tag along to see everything resolved'n'stuff."

[Raikaria]

>Raise an eyebrow. "Hey, she found Red interesting, so I figured she'd want to tag along to see everything resolved'n'stuff."

> The three look at each other for a few moments.

> Suddenly, Tewi runs out of Eientei with a massive grin on her face.

> Kaguya floats in, before floating out quickly as if she's seen something horrible.

> "OK I'm going. Tewi's set off some sort of stink bomb or something in my room. She doesn't usually get the chance to get in there after all..."

> "That was... convenient." Eirin says.

> "Yeah." Reisen says. Both are completely bewildered.

> Mima's face screams 'Just as planned'. Which confuses you, since Mima was with you the whole time.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Head over to Mima and whisper.
>"How did you manage to arrange that in front of all of us?"

[Raikaria]

>Head over to Mima and whisper.
>"How did you manage to arrange that in front of all of us?"

> "I didn't. I just like looking smug when the forces of the Universe decide to play in our favor, as a Celestial mage, I can't help it."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Right."
>Sure she does.
>"Well, shall we go?"

[Raikaria]

>"Right."
>Sure she does.
>"Well, shall we go?"

> You're not sure how trustworthy Mima is. It depends on how many of her traits Marisa learnt from Mima, you guess. It's possible that Mima is as compulsive a liar as Marisa.

> "I guess so..." Kaguya says, almost sounding sad to be leaving Eientei, if only for a short while.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Hey, no worries. If we're lucky, you'll get to resolve an incident for once. And trust me when I say incident-resolving can get pretty fun."

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Hey, no worries. If we're lucky, you'll get to resolve an incident for once. And trust me when I say incident-resolving can get pretty fun."

> "But it's effort..." Kaguya says. "I'm a Princess, after all... usually I just get Eirin or Reisen to do something for me, unless it involves killing that firebird."

[Hanzo K.]

>Shrug. "Eh, I can't say if you'll find it fun or not, but you oughta give it a try at least. 'sides, you're pretty strong, and we need all the power we can muster to pull this off."
>Let's get going!

[Raikaria]

>Shrug. "Eh, I can't say if you'll find it fun or not, but you oughta give it a try at least. 'sides, you're pretty strong, and we need all the power we can muster to pull this off."
>Let's get going!

> "I'm not strong. I'm pretty weak, outside of fighting ability I picked up against her attempts to kill me. My magic almost entirely comes from the items I hold. Besides my Manipulation of Eternity and the Moment." Kaguya says.

> "Wait, isn't that basically time manipulation?" Mima asks.

> "Yes."

> "When we mentioned finding Sakuya."

> "Yes."

> "Because she can manipulate time?" Mima says, sounding annoyed.

> "Your point? My time manipulation only has two settings, unlike Sakuya's Luna Dial, which grants her near absolute manipulation." Kaguya says, sounding like she knows Sakuya's limitations off the back of her hand.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "So basically, having you along will add to the lockdown strategy, eh?"
>"Besides, those items are wellsprings of magical power, ain't they? And when you and the doc join forces, there's very few things you can't surpass. And with my power added in, stuff's gonna blow up real good!"
>Let's get going for Alice's!

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "So basically, having you along will add to the lockdown strategy, eh?"
>"Besides, those items are wellsprings of magical power, ain't they? And when you and the doc join forces, there's very few things you can't surpass. And with my power added in, stuff's gonna blow up real good!"
>Let's get going for Alice's!

> "My power has two settings, a complete stop of time on some basis, and a massive acceleration of time. Specifically, my power is stretching out time to a mere moment, or all of eternity, although there are other limitations, such as my focus, and a massive drain on my energy."

> "My items are magical in nature, but not wellsprings. I cannot simply draw power from them to make new attacks or fuel myself." Kaguya explains.

> You arrive at the Forest of Magic. Mima by instinct starts to head towards Marisa's house, then recalls that everyone is heading to see Alice, and changes direction.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Since we're here, we may as well grab Marisa too. We'll need her power after all. So we'll make for Alice's, then swing back around for Marisa."
>Let's go!

[Raikaria]

>"Since we're here, we may as well grab Marisa too. We'll need her power after all. So we'll make for Alice's, then swing back around for Marisa."
>Let's go!

> "Well, we can always get to Marisa's by Alice's house!" Mima says.

> "Wait what?" Kaguya says, confused.

> Alice's house comes into view.

[Hanzo K.]

>"There's a warp portal that connects the two, they figured out the trick to it. It's a pretty nifty trick really."
>Let's fly on ahead and go knock on the door.

[Raikaria]

>"There's a warp portal that connects the two, they figured out the trick to it. It's a pretty nifty trick really."
>Let's fly on ahead and go knock on the door.

> "And no-one can figure out who's idea between the two that was." Mima adds.

> "I need to read the Bunbunmaru more to keep up on this sort of gossip." Kaguya mentions.

> You knock on Alice's door. A small doll flies out of the letterbox, with a message bigger than it in it's hand:

"At Marisa's"

[Hanzo K.]

>Foreheadpalm. "Doy!"
>"Yeah, doll says she's at Marisa's. So we're off to Marisa's!"
>Pat the little doll on the head, and let's roll!

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Don't leave yet.
>To the doll: "Can we use the portal to go there?" If so, use it. If not, leave and head for Marisa's.

[Raikaria]

>Foreheadpalm. "Doy!"
>"Yeah, doll says she's at Marisa's. So we're off to Marisa's!"
>Pat the little doll on the head, and let's roll!

> "How ironic." Mima says.

> "I wonder what she's doing there." Kaguya mentions, sleeve-over mouth.

>Don't leave yet.
>To the doll: "Can we use the portal to go there?" If so, use it. If not, leave and head for Marisa's.

> The doll shakes it's head, before it scribbles something on the back of the paper and flips it over.

> "Not letting strange Pink-Red in Master's house."

> "... Pink-Red..." Kaguya says, sounding hurt.

> You pat the doll on the head and then head to Marisa's.

> "You know. My intuition was right after all." Mima says smugly.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Least it's better than getting called Red-White or something. Alice is weird like that sometimes, she tends to categorize folks based on how many colors they wear."
>And we're off!

[Raikaria]

>"Least it's better than getting called Red-White or something. Alice is weird like that sometimes, she tends to categorize folks based on how many colors they wear."
>And we're off!

> "Everyone calls Reimu the Red-White..." Kaguya says.

> You fly off and arrive at Marisa's house. You can hear Alice talking, but can't make out what about.

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow. "Wonder what they're talking about?"
>Shrug, and head for the door to knock.
