[COMPLETE] Rumia Quest VI; Cont: Reaching for the Sky

[Raikaria]

>"So when you consider how different people act when they're hungry, gods also act differently when they're desperate for faith. I guess all that sadism is her specific way of getting what she needs to live."

> "Well maybe if we found a way she got what she needs in a nicer way, she'd be nicer!" Kogasa says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Sweatdrop. "Bad idea. It might trigger a reversion to Titania, and that's not a good thing."

[Raikaria]

>Sweatdrop. "Bad idea. It might trigger a reversion to Titania, and that's not a good thing."

> "So, if we try to be nice, she gets worse? Aw." Kogasa says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Shrug. "That's Yuuka for you. And if you ask me, I'd rather have a plant-loving sadist around instead of an omnicidal nature god."

[Raikaria]

>Shrug. "That's Yuuka for you. And if you ask me, I'd rather have a plant-loving sadist around instead of an omnicidal nature god."

> "Really? I'd rather neither." Seiga says, as she floats over the lake. You don't know when she got here, or this close, you figure she might have used Senkai to get here without you noticing.

> She puts her hand over her mouth. "Oh dear, I shouldn't have said that~"

> Her expression looks anything but sincere.

[Hanzo K.]

>Shrug again. "Lesser of two evils."
>We'll have to remember to keep an eye on her somehow. Maybe if we figure out how to make shades or something.
>COme to think of it, what was our overall opinion of her when we studied under her?

[Raikaria]

>Shrug again. "Lesser of two evils."
>We'll have to remember to keep an eye on her somehow. Maybe if we figure out how to make shades or something.
>COme to think of it, what was our overall opinion of her when we studied under her?

> "Surely the lesser is the third option." Seiga says.

> You know Miko keeps an eye on her as it is. Despite Miko having been taught Taoism by Seiga, Miko knows better than to trust Seiga. Byakuren does too.

> Your overall opinion when you were both studying and teaching left you with the same feeling you get around Yukari. Seiga is... impossible to read. She frequently spoke in riddles and cryptic statements, rather than plain words. She could seem honest and saintly one moment, and deceitful the next, yet you could never be sure what she was really thinking.

> All you know for sure... is only a fool would trust her.

[Hanzo K.]

>Explains why Yoshika gets along with her.
>"Takes all kinds after all, you should know that best of all. Wouldn't have situations like ours otherwise."
>Have we told her about our Remote Shadow Grapple trick?

[Raikaria]

>Explains why Yoshika gets along with her.
>"Takes all kinds after all, you should know that best of all. Wouldn't have situations like ours otherwise."
>Have we told her about our Remote Shadow Grapple trick?

> Yoshika is also controlled by her tag, and has Seiga to thank for her [un]life.

> "Sometimes the path you should take, is one without a signpost or a paving at all." Seiga replies.

> No. Seiga cares little for your darkness manipulation, and only for the Dark Energy.

[Hanzo K.]

>How do we think she would react to us essentially adding Divine Energy to our list of tricks in our bag? Not to mention essentially becoming a Pseudo-Demigod in a sense.
>"It was pretty out of the blue, wasn't it?"

[Raikaria]

>How do we think she would react to us essentially adding Divine Energy to our list of tricks in our bag? Not to mention essentially becoming a Pseudo-Demigod in a sense.
>"It was pretty out of the blue, wasn't it?"

> "Out of the blue? No. I would find 'out of the black' more appropriate." Seiga says, with a small smile.

> You're not sure she would care, and if she did, it would be a case of 'where do I get some?'

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle slightly. "But when you think about it, the sky's blue in the morning, but black at night."
>Just because we don't particularly trust her, that doesn't mean we can't trade banter after all. It comes with the whole Master-Student relationship.

[Raikaria]

> "Who says the sky as where it comes from?"

> That, and Seiga's natural language seems to be banter.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Colors are strange after all, and so's the sky."

(I am having too much fun with this bantering though. It's a nice little exercise to come up with equally vague responses to what she says.)

[Raikaria]

>"Colors are strange after all, and so's the sky."

(I am having too much fun with this bantering though. It's a nice little exercise to come up with equally vague responses to what she says.)

> "The ground is far more vivid and interesting than the Heavens, else I would be there already." Seiga says.

> "My brain hurrrrrts." Cirno complains.

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh a little. It's vague enough to give Cirno a headache at least.
>"You aren't missing much. Nothing but peaches, sun, dancing, and drinking, I just came back from a visit there after all. Though there is something to be said for peace after all."

[Raikaria]

>Laugh a little. It's vague enough to give Cirno a headache at least.
>"You aren't missing much. Nothing but peaches, sun, dancing, and drinking, I just came back from a visit there after all. Though there is something to be said for peace after all."

> "And how would I know that the Earth is more vibrant without having experienced both? I have defeated Shinigami in the past, you've seen me. By all rights, I could become a Celestial whenever I wished."

> Seiga chuckles.

> "But I do not wish to be a Celestial. Nor is peace something I crave in particular. Peace is boring, I'd lose interest in a moment."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, like they say, 'Variety is the Spice of Life'. Things can't get too boring, they just can't cross the line too far. Besides, when things aren't peaceful, you can start to get bored of that and start wanting peace. That's just how things work, you do something for long enough and it gets stale."

[Raikaria]

> "Ah, you only wish for peace and quiet when you've been listening to the same racket over and over." Seiga says. "If it's different tunes every time, you never want the silence."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Haha, just as long as the music doesn't hurt anyone, or shake things up too much. That's my opinion on things."

[Raikaria]

>"Haha, just as long as the music doesn't hurt anyone, or shake things up too much. That's my opinion on things."

> "Oh yes, the music won't get too loud." Seiga says. "If it does, I'm sure you'll perform some... volume control."

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh a bit more than we did earlier. "Of course! Gotta be mindful of the neighbors after all, that's a surefire way to get in trouble."

[Raikaria]

>Laugh a bit more than we did earlier. "Of course! Gotta be mindful of the neighbors after all, that's a surefire way to get in trouble."

> "I also have to be sure not to scramble poor Yoshika's brain."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Scrambled eggs are nice though. Scrambled brains are just messy, they get all over the place."
>How would Seiga react to hearing that we aren't playing host to the old us anymore, and that her 'remains' are likely in a place that's been rendered inaccessible? Nevermind that even Seiga would probably have a hard time doing anything with what amounts to a pile of meat pudding.

[Raikaria]

> "Yes, and I especially do not want any further damage to my darling Yoshika's brain than the passage to time already wrought."

> You have no idea how Seiga would react. You expect indifference, as long as you can still teach her Dark Energy.

[Hanzo K.]

>For that matter, what's our opinion of Yoshika?
>"Oh yeah. Remember that remote punch trick you did when you fought Komachi? I made my own version. I guess that even while I'm teaching you, there's still neat tricks I can pick up from keeping an eye on you."

[Raikaria]

>For that matter, what's our opinion of Yoshika?
>"Oh yeah. Remember that remote punch trick you did when you fought Komachi? I made my own version. I guess that even while I'm teaching you, there's still neat tricks I can pick up from keeping an eye on you."

> Yoshika is a loveable derp. Not annoying derp like Cirno, more Kogasa derp, with less fourth wall breaking. Probably explains how those two seem to get along these days.

> "They say teachers learn as much from their pupils as they teach." Seiga says.

> "Now then, I imagine you're tried after that whole ruckus, so unless you have anything you want to ask me, I shall move on. I'm a busy woman, after all~"

[Hanzo K.]

>"I'm good, I was going to wrap up a few things before taking a well-deserved rest. These past few days have been nothing but chaos, so I'm looking forward to things being nice and quiet again...Even though I'll be up and at it again in the morning. Still a few loose ends from this latest incident to tidy up after all."

> "Very well, I shall not keep you~" Seiga says, before she flies off towards the Myouren Temple.

[Hanzo K.]

>Look to Cirno and the others. "Well, still up for messing with Rika?"
