>"So you wanna help me find and get the trio to join us? You don't have to help if you don't wanna, I mean I don't want you to get eaten. But I swear if he hurts one of you guys, I'll freeze him good!"
>"I also need to find a way to get past his really fast and long tongue that goes like 'nyeeeh'."

>Daiyousei trembles a bit at the mention of the fearsome tongue, but after a moment seems to make up her mind.
>"I'll go," she says. "I-I gotta get braver, right? B-besides, you're really strong." She smiles hesitantly. "You can keep me s-safe!"

>Hesitate a bit "Y-Yea, he won't even know what hit him. Especially with our powers together. What are we waiting for? Let's go get them."

>Hesitate a bit "Y-Yea, he won't even know what hit him. Especially with our powers together. What are we waiting for? Let's go get them."

>"Y-yeah!" Daiyousei is encouraged by your display of bravado, and flutters into the air. You quickly follow suit.

>Now, the first step in recruiting the Trio of Light to your aid is of course finding them so you can approach them with your proposition. Fortunately, this is not hard, as you tracked down their home easily enough back when they destroyed yours. They've taken up residence in the woods behind the Hakurei Shrine.

>This, unfortunately, means you will naturally on your way to them have to pass one of the most formidable forces of nature ever to exist.

>Reimu Hakurei.

>There are several ways you can approach the foreboding shrine maiden. You'd better think fast, though, because the shrine is drawing closer with each wingbeat you take.

>What's the plan?

>"Okay Dai-chan, the red-white may be here. We just have to act peaceful and stuff, but not too peaceful or she might think something's up. Maybe we should wave or something if we see her so she doesn't suspect we're doing anything."

>"O-okay," Daiyousei squeaks. "Peaceful but n-not too peaceful..." She lapses into deep thought for the remainder of the flight.

>Eventually the two of you touch down in front of the Hakurei Shrine. Reimu is outside, lounging on the front porch with her eyes half-closed and enjoying the cool spring air. She doesn't appear to have noticed you yet.

>Daiyousei has adopted an...odd expression. It seems like she's trying to look both cheerful, relaxed, and apathetic at the same time. She nods when you speak, though this expression does not break. She cautiously raises a hand and waves at Reimu.

>Reimu does not respond. It seems she is so lost in contemplation that simply waving at her will not do the trick.

>"Let's just go, she might be asleep."

>The two of you begin to quietly sneak past her, trying not to disturb her rest. You make it about halfway across the yard when Reimu's eyes snap open.

>"Where do you think you're going, exactly," she says in a tone that hints imminent danger if you do not answer truthfully.

((Good night!))

>There is a long, long staredown between the two of you. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Daiyousei struggling to maintain her expression under the full force of the Reimu Stare. The birds go quiet. Everything slows to a crawl as the universe focuses upon this epic confrontation.

>Then she shrugs, and returns to her contemplative position. "Don't break anything or I'll sic the oni on you," she says, attention already drifting.

>Give Reimu a thumbs-up and then make our non-confrontative and unsuspicious exit into the woods at the back of the shrine.
>Once we're out of earshot range of the red-white, turn back to Dai and snicker.
>"Ha, she so wussed out there!"

>"I-if you say so..." Daiyousei says, looking back nervously over her shoulder to make sure Reimu isn't sneaking up behind the two of you with murderous intent even now. "L-let's just hurry up and find the three of them."

((Not sure if this went through or not, so I'm trying again.))

>The two of you make your way through the forest behind the shrine. It's pretty nice today; the morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the foliage, creating dappled patterns on the forest floor that Daiyousei oohs at as you walk.

>Eventually, you come to the clearing you're pretty sure the fairies' house is in. You're only pretty sure because though the three made their house in a tree like Daiyousei, they hid it so that it looks like just another tree. Problem is, you can't remember which tree it was. They all look the same!

I won't give up even if the forum is falling apart!

>Looking around, most of the trees are about the same size. You think you might see one tree that's a bit bigger than the rest, though, off to the side of the clearing....

>Feeling confident in your choice, you head towards the biggest tree in the clearing and begin imperiously rapping on its rough bark. The key to any good negotiation is, of course, a strong first impression.

((I'm assuming you wanted that first bit in quotes?))

>Daiyousei nods, and starts looking intently around the clearing, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound.
>At this point, whoever these jokers are aren't even trying to hide their laughter any more as you rush about knocking on trees and angrily shouting. It's starting to sound awfully familiar, too...
