> You're on the outskirts of the Forest of Magic right now. The Misty Lake is also on the outskirts, but on the other side of the forest - and the forest is pretty big. Flying there would probably take about half an hour at top speed.
> Physically speaking, you're nothing to write home about. Fairies aren't really known for their physical prowess, given they're usually about the size of a small child and with the proportions to match. Your lifting power is probably limited to 20-pound objects at most.
> Your body is the same temperature as everyone else's - but the air around you isn't. You emanate an aura of cold that lowers the temperature in whatever area you're in, regardless of season. You haven't figured out how to turn it off yet, or even if you can.

((...hm. OK, fair point. I'm making this all up as I go along and I have no idea what average lifting strength is. Let's retcon and just leave it at 'average strength for a 9-year-old child', and from there I'll just let you know if you can lift things you want to lift or not.))

(Well, I mean, it's up to you. I'll work with whatever means I'm given. I'm certainly not gonna go around lifting boulders and stuff. I think carrying another fairy may be in the realm of possibility, particularly given Cirno seems to be average or better in all relevant aspects, but I admit I haven't asked any nine-year-olds to pick up other nine-year-olds recently.)

> Could we lift Dai? Consider situations where she's not doing anything and situations where she's exerting some effort to keep herself afloat by flying.

((I've got a 9-year-old sister to study in close quarters, and she's capable of picking up her friends - though not without effort, and it varies with the friend being picked up. With that in mind...))

> Dai? That depends. Dai is tall, which means it's hard to get a good grip on her, and bridal carrying is definitely out. Weightwise, you could probably lift her, but you couldn't keep her lifted for long. It might be easier if she were helping keep herself afloat, but then again it's hard to maintain a grip when you've got wings flapping just above your hands.

You could probably lift each of them no problem, seeing as they're more your size. One at a time, though, and you couldn't do it forever, that's for sure.

> There's no response for the first few seconds after you poke her. Then a hand shoots out and grabs your wrist. Mystia looks up at you blearily. Her eyes contain the pure, untainted hatred only capable of being felt by the sleep-deprived.
> "You'd better have a very good reason for waking me up this early in the morning, Cirno," she says in a tone of ice.

> What do we have going for pockets, anyway?

> You have two large pockets on the front of your dress which you stuff most of your items in. Currently you have the flag sticking out of one and your frogs in the other (they're the tiny kind, so you can carry a lot at one time).

So what're you thinking, Miniking? A trip to Kourindou could be useful, but it's most likely a waste of time if we don't go back for the money (unless you wanna go full fairy and try to steal something).

> Nope. Your dress is pretty simple in design. Secret pockets sound cool, but you'd have to get them sewn in by hand, and you don't know anyone who can do that.
> Wriggle is about Mystia's height. Rumia is a little shorter than Daiyousei.
> You've heard rumors about Yuuka. They say fairies that go into her sunflower field rarely come back, and when they do, they're never quite the same. You've never confirmed the rumors, but honestly, you don't want to try.

> You tend to ~~stalk~~ watch Marisa when you've got nothing better to do, so you have a vague idea of her relationships. You know she visits the mansion a lot, but you're not sure who she visits because you can never get inside. You also see her visit Alice sometimes, and everyone knows she hangs out with Reimu. That's about all you know.
