Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT III - Part 4

[the old guy]

>"How often do you accidentally open gaps while sleeping, then?"

[Neovereign]

>"So would you notice if I was knocked out then?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"How often do you accidentally open gaps while sleeping, then?"

>Yukari shrugs.
>"You'll do it less as you mature."

>"So would you notice if I was knocked out then?"

>"That would depend on a number of factors."
>_

[the old guy]

>"Like what?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Like what?"

>"Well... Whether Chen was with you, or if I randomly decided to look in on you, or if I'm asleep or not... things like that."
>_

[the old guy]

>"I hope your not asleep when stuff like that happens."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I hope your not asleep when stuff like that happens."

>"Well, even if I am asleep, there are other ways to alert me."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I hope this can be stopped before something serious happens... There's been a few serious things already, and I'm tired of it..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I hope this can be stopped before something serious happens... There's been a few serious things already, and I'm tired of it..."

>"I'm sure it will be..."
>_

[the old guy]

>"I wouldn't assume that about the future so sure."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I wouldn't assume that about the future so sure."

>"My, can't you trust me at least one bit, Maribel?" Yukari chuckles a bit, "Though, I'll take your point into consideration."
>_

[the old guy]

>"Just gotta be prepared for the worse, i guess."

Hey look, i actually remembered this existed, where is everybody else?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I honestly don't know where they went. Either they got bored of this game, are abstaining because they dislike something about it, or they simply forgot about this game.

//then again, Rumias has been much less active than usual as of late, which could also be a reason.

//I really hope this game's current trend of stagnation ends soon and we can get to the fun things I have planned ahead, otherwise it would appear that this game's days will be numbered and I will eventually have no choice but to either let it die or end it prematurely due to lack of interest and participation.

//anyway, I'll give it two more days for either at least one of the other players to show up, or (though it is extremely unlikely) for at least one new player to join before I go ahead and parse your command regardless, old guy.

[Neovereign]

//I've mostly been keeping away, mainly in hopes that someone else could solve the predicament better than me. I mean, I was hellbent on keeping Merry from invading that drive, but the others were for it, and it seems their decision progressed things in a better way than mine would've.
Then again, my activity within Rumia's has been very low too...

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Just gotta be prepared for the worse, i guess."

>"Uh huh... Anyway, since you're here, have there been any new developments with your abilities since the last note you sent to me?"
>_

[the old guy]

>Were there?

///sorry, its been a little while since that stuff happened.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Were there?

///sorry, its been a little while since that stuff happened.

>You... can't remember. You think there weren't...? But you're unsure...
>_

[the old guy]

>"No, Not really."
 
///Sadly i'll be gone for the next 3 days, i'm going to a gaming convention in Seattle tomorrow, i'll try to return to this game as soon as i can once i get back. Sorry.

[Neovereign]

//Have fun.
>"I'd like to try others of more variety, but there's no time for rests with what's going on..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"No, Not really."

>"I'd like to try others of more variety, but there's no time for rests with what's going on..."

>"I see..." Yukari stands up, "Anyway, keep me posted on anything that happens. I really should be getting back to bothering Reimu now..."
>_

[the old guy]

>"You seem to like here quite a bit."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"You seem to like here quite a bit."

>"Oh? What makes you say that?" She asks as she opens a gap nearby.
>_

[the old guy]

I meant to type her not here. Oops. Let's pretend I actually typed that please?

>"You just seem to be really protective of her."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

I meant to type her not here. Oops. Let's pretend I actually typed that please?

>"You just seem to be really protective of her."

>"Well, considering her family's ties with the barrier and the balance of Gensokyo, it's no surprise I would watch over the Hakurei family, to make sure things remain as they are..."
>_

[the old guy]

>"So its really just on the basis that she's part of the Hakurei family line? Nothing more than that?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So its really just on the basis that she's part of the Hakurei family line? Nothing more than that?"

>"Pretty much." she fans herself, "Anyway, I'll meet you back at the house later tonight. Don't get yourself into any trouble, now."
>She begins to step towards the gap.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"So we should turn in for today and pause our progress?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So we should turn in for today and pause our progress?"

>"If that is what you wish." says Yukari, "Though please do be awake by the time I get back. You're much too young for hibernation anyway..."
>_

[the old guy]

What? No! Theres someone who wants to get rid of all of the magic in Gensokyo! if we just stop to rest, she may come one step closer to achieving her plans!

>"I'll be honest, i'm not sure if i have the skills needed to solve an incident yet. Do you have any advise on how i could improve my danmaku skills?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I'll be honest, i'm not sure if i have the skills needed to solve an incident yet. Do you have any advise on how i could improve my danmaku skills?"

>Yukari stops in her tracks. "Well, you know the basics already, you just need to figure out how to make patterns with your danmaku, and then see if you can put that into a Spellcard. Mixing danmaku with your... gift... is also an option, though not required in the Spellcard laws."
