Rumia Quest VI: Succession [Complete]

[Raikaria]

>"Yukari, I think this is one time where your fondness for being enigmatic really backfired."

> "What do you mean?" Yukari says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"She's seriously pissed. I was trying to talk her into at least letting me fly her around Gensokyo, to show her this beautiful world that you planned for her to protect. But she started building up power. Big time. I don't know about you, but even I'm on edge here."

> "Building up power, eh? Ran might have to get ready to get the hammer out then, because when that releases it'll shock the boundaries. Most likely she'll either rip something open, twist one dramatically, or unleash a 'Boundry Shock' which could do almost anything."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh. "So it's up to me again to provide the kid with a way of letting off her anger while also knocking some sense into her, eh? Come to think of it, it's not too different from when I had to knock some sense into Alice back during the Shinki Incident."

[Raikaria]

>Sigh. "So it's up to me again to provide the kid with a way of letting off her anger while also knocking some sense into her, eh? Come to think of it, it's not too different from when I had to knock some sense into Alice back during the Shinki Incident."

> "Except if the power is built up it has to release, and she doesn't know how to control her power." Yukari says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"So what we need to do, is help her release it, huh?"

[Raikaria]

>"So what we need to do, is help her release it, huh?"

> "Except when she does release it it'll wreck something. It's more damage limitation so the pressure doesn't build up." Yukari says. "More power gathered means more damage."

[Hanzo K.]

>"So basically, we need to get her somewhere where the damage'll be minimal, and then get her to let it all out, right?"

[Raikaria]

>"So basically, we need to get her somewhere where the damage'll be minimal, and then get her to let it all out, right?"

> "More or less, except you don't know where boundaries are, so it's impossible to judge. For all you know she could be atop the Makai Boundary, for example."

[Hanzo K.]

>".....That would be really bad. Ran can see the boundaries thanks to that little infusion you gave her, right? We're gonna need that to pinpoint the best place for her to let off steam."

[Raikaria]

>".....That would be really bad. Ran can see the boundaries thanks to that little infusion you gave her, right? We're gonna need that to pinpoint the best place for her to let off steam."

> "Yes, except you'd have to get Ran to know, during which time as Maribel gets more frustrated she'll be gathering up more boundary energy, until it just erupts."

[Hanzo K.]

>"So where's the best place to get her to right now then? Because now she's a ticking time bomb just waiting to hit critical, like that reactor I had to stop."

[Raikaria]

>"So where's the best place to get her to right now then? Because now she's a ticking time bomb just waiting to hit critical, like that reactor I had to stop."

> "Honestly? I don't know, the best way would be to go to Mayohiga, where Chen is likely."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Tch. And at that point, who knows what the kid'll blow up...Think it'd be practical to just knock her out and give her a chance to cool off that way?"

[Raikaria]

>"Tch. And at that point, who knows what the kid'll blow up...Think it'd be practical to just knock her out and give her a chance to cool off that way?"

> "Knocking her out would cause the built up energy to release randomly. That said, that's inevitable. Imagine blowing the bomb early."

[Hanzo K.]

>"So would it or not then? Given how you said it'll be the least damaging when she's not got as much power charged."

[Raikaria]

>"So would it or not then? Given how you said it'll be the least damaging when she's not got as much power charged."

> "It would be least damaging, yes, but the point is it depends more on what is damaged. That said, Ran can just fix whatever she breaks, unless she gathers up more power than I gave Ran."

[Hanzo K.]

>"So just knock her out then. Doing it at the Misty Lake should be safe, right?"

[Raikaria]

>"So just knock her out then. Doing it at the Misty Lake should be safe, right?"

> "Do it wherever. Except maybe the Hakurei Shrine or right at the border. Energy might shatter the Hakurei Barrier if you do it there. Alice's house is probably a bad idea to, because Makai, same with wherever Yuemi put that extractor, borders' probably weak there too, and I don't think Ran would be able to fix a massive leak of magical energy from multiple dimensions flooding Gensokyo."

[Hanzo K.]

>"You can still get in touch with Ran, right? You'd better let her know about this then, she's gonna be busy."
>Let's go after Maribel, we'll have to knock some sense into her.

[Raikaria]

>"You can still get in touch with Ran, right? You'd better let her know about this then, she's gonna be busy."
>Let's go after Maribel, we'll have to knock some sense into her.

> "No, I cannot. I cannot manipulate any boundary outside of the Netherworld."

> As you prepare to go, Yuyuko tells you to wait.

> "Youmu, how about you go shatter the girl's trust in you instead of in Rumia?" Yuyuko says.

> Youmu looks a little confused, but still vanishes a moment later, before returning with Maribel, unconcious, in tow. You note a large amount of energy, which looks like about ten gaps, flying through the air, and they twist around the Saigyou Ayakashi, revealing what looks like chains. They then seep into them, and nothing happens.

> "Interesting, her energy was certainly destructive, if it all went for the tree. Good thing the seal is far too strong to be broken, even by the full force of spring." Yuyuko says.

[Hawkpath1337]

>... You must gather your party before venturing forth?(I can't think of anything.)

[Hanzo K.]

>"....That seal getting broken is bad, right?"

[Raikaria]

>"....That seal getting broken is bad, right?"

> "Yes, it would be, that Cherry tree lures souls to it, and absorbs them, it feeds on souls. It is a threat to the living and the dead." Yuyuko says. "I died to seal that tree, my body is what seals it."

[Hanzo K.]

>"....Yeah, that's bad alright. So where do we go from here? Kid's probably still gonna be pissed off when she comes to."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Maybe I should get her to Dai."

[Raikaria]

>"....Yeah, that's bad alright. So where do we go from here? Kid's probably still gonna be pissed off when she comes to."

> "I dunno. Probobly get them home or something." Youmu suggests.

> "Yes, we only came here for a picnic!" Renko insists.

>"Maybe I should get her to Dai."

> "I don't think meeting any more of you lot will help Mary..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh. "Well, Keine did insist on them showing up at the village at least once. Maybe she can talk some sense into kiddo here. Besides, I planned to treat these two to an Eel Bowl down at Mysty's."
>Beat.
>Then look to Renko while indicating Maribel. "She's okay with Eel, isn't she?"

[Raikaria]

>Then look to Renko while indicating Maribel. "She's okay with Eel, isn't she?"

> "I think so..." Renko says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Maybe some food'll help her clear her head out so she can think better. Mysty's one of the best cooks in Gensokyo after all. If I'm not lurking around that forest we met in, which happens to be my home, I'm usually there enjoying a good Deluxe BBQ Eel Bowl. You like Eel right? There's other stuff if you don't."
