[COMPLETE] Rumia Quest V Cont: Everything comes together

[Raikaria]

>Wave cheerfully and with a smile. "Yo. I'd stop to chat, but I gotta find Yuugi, got big news! Hope your day's been good! Seeya!"
>Let's keep rollin'!

> "OK." Kisume says quietly.

> You keep on heading to the Underground City, and then, towards the Palace of the Earth Spirits, when you hear a surprised cry.

> "Why you down here Sukia, Reimu being a pain?" Yuugi says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh a bit. "Partly that, and partly because I pretty much dragged her down here. Metaphorically speakin'."
>Grin. "I got some great news for you guys concernin' an old friend. She's still alive. Kanakuma's still alive and kickin'. I figured I'd go find her, but who knew that I'd run into her today while solving an incident? And no, she wasn't behind it, but she did help provide some info on how to go about resolvin' it!"

> The two Oni look at each other.

> "You ain't getting the feeling she's lying, right Yuugi, cause I'm not."

> "Nope. However I always knew she was alive anyway, she's too tough to have died." Yuugi comments, before turning to you. "Ya'know I might make a trip up to see her if I know where she is."

[Hanzo K.]

>What all are we able to tell them about Kanakuma again aside from her condition?

[Raikaria]

>What all are we able to tell them about Kanakuma again aside from her condition?

> Kanakuma asked you to tell them where she is, so she can explain herself.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, anyhow. Like I said earlier, I found her. She also wanted me to tell you where she was, so she can explain a few things. I know what she wants to explain, but I think it's better coming from her. It just feels right, y'know?"
>Then shrug. "Well, there's a smaller mountain over that way, near the edge of the border." Point in the general direction of the mountain Kanakuma's holed up in.
>"She's holed up in a cave near the peak. She has her reasons that she wanted to personally explain, but she can't really leave that mountain easily due to those reasons."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"A bunch of cloud guys live around there, too, and they're not too fond of visitors, but if you tell them you're there to see Kanakuma, they'll probably let you in."

> "Oh yeah, if she has something to tell us she can tell it to us. If we don't find her reasons satisfactory we'll drag her with us." Yuugi says.

> "We know the mountain ranges like the back of our hands." Sukia says.

>"A bunch of cloud guys live around there, too, and they're not too fond of visitors, but if you tell them you're there to see Kanakuma, they'll probably let you in."

> "They had better let us through. They knew they can't stand up to the Deva from the past. Refusing to let us through would be suicide on their part." Yuugi says. "No-one can stop a Deva from going where they wish to go, except other Deva."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Just as a heads-up, you might be a bit shocked when you see her, and hear what she's got to say.."

[Raikaria]

>"Just as a heads-up, you might be a bit shocked when you see her, and hear what she's got to say.."

> "Eh, she's been gone since we left Youkai Mountain, any reason that's good enough would have to surprise me!" Yuugi says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "There's some other stuff I wanted to look into as well, so I can see you guys back up to at least the surface. After that's where I'll split off to follow up on another thing. I still don't have all the sides of the story."

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "There's some other stuff I wanted to look into as well, so I can see you guys back up to at least the surface. After that's where I'll split off to follow up on another thing. I still don't have all the sides of the story."

> You fly off, and as you do, you hear something.

> "Wait... all sides of the story? She dosen't mean..." Yuugi starts

> "Nah. She can't have found her too." Sukia says

> "Oh well, double K's more important than her anyway." Yuugi says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, having a few secrets is fun too. We're the embodiment of darkness, can't go against nature~!
>Let's do a few barrel rolls while flying with our arms spread out, for old time's sake. "I'm really happy that the incident's resolved now though, I just hope Cirno and Dai are okay too~!"

> Unless you're otherwise occupied, you are always in your 'the saint was crucified' pose, even now. It's like having your arms at your side for most others to you.

> Well, you haven't heard any rumors of Cirno not being alright among the fairies, which you expect would have spread like wildfire if Sunny's gang had any knowledge of it. Or Aya.

[Hanzo K.]

(But last adventure, we had stopped doing that because Miko and the others didn't like it. Then again, we don't live with 'em anymore, so I guess it makes sense to fall back into old habits.)

>Laugh it up! "Oh yeah, I picked up a few new tricks too! I'll have to show you guys sometime! One of 'em I even picked up from someone who I helped teach better control over Dark Energy. The other one I borrowed from the incident's culprit herself~! Dark Energy's pretty great y'know, if you've got enough imagination and control, you can make almost anything! Swords, clubs, the sky's the limit! I bet Suika could do some pretty similar stuff by using her power to reform stuff into different shapes, if she needed a weapon."
>Laugh more! "But her? Needing a weapon? Ahahaha! I crack myself up sometimes."
>Beat.
>"....Ooh! I bet she could use it to make sculptures or something!"

(You stopped doing it while in Senaki, yes, but that's because taking a Christian pose around Taoists is... not sensible. So you stopped yourself. When you're not stopping yourself you just go natural.)

> "Oni don't need weapons. If I need a stronger punch I just make my fist denser." Sukia says.

> "Maybe, if she wasn't too drunk to focus on doing something with that level of detail!" Yuugi says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Either way you look at it, things should quiet down for a while now~!"
>Then glance back at them with a reckless, jolly, and lopsided grin. "Or get livelier in a good way, if the old tales are true."

> "Quiet down? Gensokyo?" Yuugi says, before breaking into laughter. "Maybe the surface might, but underground never sleeps!"

> "If I had my way I'd be always drinking and sleepin and doing nothin else." Sukia says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Exactly. Things might quiet down topside, but they might also get livelier."
>Laugh a bit! "Well, we'll see how things go from here! Let's pick up the pace you two!"
>Let's speed up!

[Raikaria]

>"Exactly. Things might quiet down topside, but they might also get livelier."
>Laugh a bit! "Well, we'll see how things go from here! Let's pick up the pace you two!"
>Let's speed up!

> You speed up, and leave the underground.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Well you two, here's where I split off. I got a few things to tie up, so I'll see you guys later! I bet there's gonna be a party, eh? Be sure to let me know about that!"
>Let's head to where we last knew Dai and Cirno were!

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Well you two, here's where I split off. I got a few things to tie up, so I'll see you guys later! I bet there's gonna be a party, eh? Be sure to let me know about that!"
>Let's head to where we last knew Dai and Cirno were!

> "Underground is always a party..." Yuugi says.

> Where you last saw the two sprites was the Misty Lake, where they are almost all the time, if not the SDM. So, you are unsurprised when you arrive there, and, as per usual, Cirno is there. You guess Daiyousei is in the Mansion.

[Hanzo K.]

>Head on over. "Oi! How you feelin' there, Cirno?"

[Raikaria]

>Head on over. "Oi! How you feelin' there, Cirno?"

> "Strong. Same as always. Why?" the ice sprite says with her usual bravado.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Just checkin' up on ya. Can't I check up on a friend?"
>Then laugh. "Anyhow, I'm gonna visit Dai, see how she's doin'. Seeya later!"
>Let's head on in and find Dai!

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Just checkin' up on ya. Can't I check up on a friend?"
>Then laugh. "Anyhow, I'm gonna visit Dai, see how she's doin'. Seeya later!"
>Let's head on in and find Dai!

> Cirno looks confused, but this is nothing to be worried about, in fact, if she didn't look confused, that would be worrying.

> You get to the SDM's gates, and, as per usual, Meiling is there, she's awake, and lets you in.

> When you enter, you notice everything is in disarray, and chaos, unlike every single other time you've been here. The fairies are flying around wrecking everything.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Um..."

[Hanzo K.]

>"....This is bad."
>Maybe we should knock a few of 'em down?

[Raikaria]

>"Um..."

>"....This is bad."
>Maybe we should knock a few of 'em down?

> You're not sure if you should knock a few of them down or not, however, you can figure out one key fact from what you know about how the mansion works; if the fairies are rioting, it means Sakuya isn't in a state to stop them, and must still be exhausted.

[Hanzo K.]

>In that case, let's use the shadows to snag 'em. We'll go full 'scary-mode' on them to get 'em to quiet down. Wings, heavy darkness, the whole shebang.
