Yuyuko Quest - Perfect Cherry Blossom

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "A drinking contest eh I shall have to take a rain check on that sadly, due to our condition for the day~"
>Smile. "Don't worry, you'll only be a child for the day~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "A drinking contest eh I shall have to take a rain check on that sadly, due to our condition for the day~"
>Smile. "Don't worry, you'll only be a child for the day~"

>Hatate raises an eyebrow, "Aw, you serious? But it's so early... early bird catches the worm and all, but having to stay like this all day makes me wish I'd stayed in bed..."
>Orin grins cheekily, "Early bird catches the worm? Early cat gets there first~!"
>Hatate yelps.

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Ah, this is the sort of thing an old spirit like me missed out on, the joys of youth~!"
>Smile brightly. "Well then everyone, let's go visit those people on the mountainside~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "Ah, this is the sort of thing an old spirit like me missed out on, the joys of youth~!"
>Smile brightly. "Well then everyone, let's go visit those people on the mountainside~!"

>Yukari opens a large gap and escorts everyone through it.

>When you all walk through it, you leave the gap right at the foot of the mountain.

>"Whoa!! I think this stuff is kicking in!!" a voice shrieks.
>It's Nitori Kawashiro. Having an afternoon drink. At least she isn't in a total drunken stupor... yet.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile and wave. "Hello~!"
>This oughta be good for a laugh, she probably thinks we're drunken hallucinations~!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile and wave. "Hello~!"
>This oughta be good for a laugh, she probably thinks we're drunken hallucinations~!

>Nitori waves, "Yo!! What brings ya' here?"
>She takes another swig of sake, grinning.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oh, just a visit~ I thought I'd go around Gensokyo today~!"
>Let's give Yukari a look that says 'Let's have her join most of us as a child, hmm~?'

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Oh, just a visit~ I thought I'd go around Gensokyo today~!"
>Let's give Yukari a look that says 'Let's have her join most of us as a child, hmm~?'

>Nitori gives you a thumbs-up, "Yeah! You're quite lucky, actually. The Aki sisters are startin' to come around a bit more. If ya' lucky you'll see 'em today. Hina just passed by, y'know, shame you didn't drop by earlier."

>Yukari winks at you, and looks back to Nitori.
>Nitori's hair grows down to her waist and out of it's two pigtails. She becomes pint-sized, almost like a toddler size. Her hair becomes a little lighter, as do her eyes.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Well then, I suppose that is a good thing then, since I planned to find them as well~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Well then, I suppose that is a good thing then, since I planned to find them as well~"

>Nitori doesn't seem fazed by the transformation, "Myeh~! I can get 'em for ya', if you wanna say hi..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Please do~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Please do~"

>Nitori grins and stands on top of the tree stump she was leaning against.
>She takes a deep breath and yells, "HINA!! MINORIKO!! SHIZUHA!!"

>Silence falls for several seconds, then the smell of freshly-cooked vegetables comes onto the scene as Minoriko and Shizuha Aki arrive.
>Hina arrives shortly after.
>They all look at Nitori's child form.
>Hina yelps, "Nitori! What happened?"
>Nitori grins, "I got drunk is what happened! This lil' group of travellers wanted to see ya'!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile and wave cheerfully. "Hello~! Rather nice smell isn't it~? In fact, I'm getting a tad hungry because of it ~"
>Let's slip Yukari a look that says 'Let's see how Hina would look as a child~ And let's 'Improve' the Aki sisters~ I'm certain they'll be able to get even more faith that way~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile and wave cheerfully. "Hello~! Rather nice smell isn't it~? In fact, I'm getting a tad hungry because of it ~"

>Minoriko yelps, "Eat Shizuha, not me!!"
>Shizuha sighs, "You always say that, but you expect me to look after you..."
>Hina giggles, "But, Minoriko, you do always smell like vegetable casserole. Maybe you should change it to the scent of autumn leaves, like Shizuha has."

>Let's slip Yukari a look that says 'Let's see how Hina would look as a child~ And let's 'Improve' the Aki sisters~ I'm certain they'll be able to get even more faith that way~!"

>Yukari grins and looks back at the three to prepare the transformation.
>Beat.
>The Aki sisters grow in height considerably, and in shape. They become a lot more feminine-looking, too.
>Hina shrinks a lot, but she is still taller than Nitori. Her hair becomes choppy and short, quite like Satori's former hairstyle, and lighter in colour, too.
>The three of them look down and gasp in surprise.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Perhaps the scent of a garden would be more suitable~? When I think of gardens, I think of two things. Beautiful flowers, and delicious vegetables ready for pickling~"
>Grin. "Do you like the little 'upgrade, dears~?"
>Let's float over to Hina with a cheerful and bright smile. "And aren't you simply adorable~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Perhaps the scent of a garden would be more suitable~? When I think of gardens, I think of two things. Beautiful flowers, and delicious vegetables ready for pickling~"
>Grin. "Do you like the little 'upgrade, dears~?"

>Shizuha shoots a glare at Minoriko, "I told you the scent of autumn vegetables wasn't a good idea."
>Minoriko shrugs, "Who cares? Look at us, we're gorgeous!!"

>Let's float over to Hina with a cheerful and bright smile. "And aren't you simply adorable~?"

>Hina blushes, "I hate to say it, but I'm detecting rather high amounts of misfortune from your little group... particularly from the children... especially that little green-haired fellow."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Oh, him? You four will never guess who he really is~! But I will tell you this, he's undergoing a little punishment game for being a mite too blunt~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Oh, him? You four will never guess who he really is~! But I will tell you this, he's undergoing a little punishment game for being a mite too blunt~"

>The four of them think for a while, but Shizuha works it out first.
>She stutters, "That's not... Sanae Kochiya, is it?!"

>Hina frowns, "It can't be! The gods at the shrine wouldn't have just let her get transformed like this."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Ding~! We have a correct answer~! The reason for this being that Sanae joined us because I won her for the day in a contest~ It was their idea to have the contest to begin with~!"
>Grin. "But don't worry, it's only for the rest of the day~ Besides, it's harmless anyways, unless you count possible mental and emotional damages~ But everyone in Gensokyo's mad in some form or another~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Ding~! We have a correct answer~! The reason for this being that Sanae joined us because I won her for the day in a contest~ It was their idea to have the contest to begin with~!"

>Hina blinks, "Won her...?"
>Shizuha gulps, "People can do that?"
>Minoriko laughs, "Unlucky, Sanae, but what can you do?"

>Grin. "But don't worry, it's only for the rest of the day~ Besides, it's harmless anyways, unless you count possible mental and emotional damages~ But everyone in Gensokyo's mad in some form or another~"

>Hina sighs, looking at Nitori, "Indeed..."
>Minoriko grins, "I bet the Moriya Shrine's fallen to bits without their miraculous shrine maiden! Shizuha, get your spellcards, we're going conquering!"
>Shizuha yelps, "Minoriko, are you mad?! We have nothing compared to those two! We'll get disintegrated..."
>Hina nods, "She's right, Minoriko."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Well, Suwako was bored, and Kanako just wanted us out of their hair~"
>Grin. "Also, even I would caution you against such a foolish plan dear~ After all, they're both easily a match for myself, and even in our current states, you wouldn't be much of a problem for me~""

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Well, Suwako was bored, and Kanako just wanted us out of their hair~"
>Grin. "Also, even I would caution you against such a foolish plan dear~ After all, they're both easily a match for myself, and even in our current states, you wouldn't be much of a problem for me~""

>Minoriko shuffles her feet, "It was just a thought, I wasn't actually going to do anything."
>Shizuha smirks, "Yeah, and I'm a fairy."
>Hina blinks, "I've heard of a fairy that has a seasonal power. An ice fairy, I think she is... not too bright, I don't think."
>Nitori stands up, "But yeah, how come if you'se is stronger than a *hic* goddess, you aren't a *hic* goddess yourself?"
>Hina facepalms, "Oh, dear, even reverting back to a child didn't remedy her alcoholism..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "In a way, I'm closer to the Yama in terms of position~"
>Thoughtful expression. "Hmm...I wonder if doing 'that' would be any improvement for that fairy, or would she just end up all looks and no brains?"
>Fistpalm. "Idea! Yukari, open a viewing gap so we can see what that fairy's up to~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "In a way, I'm closer to the Yama in terms of position~"
>Thoughtful expression. "Hmm...I wonder if doing 'that' would be any improvement for that fairy, or would she just end up all looks and no brains?"

>Yukari shrugs, "You can't improve what doesn't exist, can you~?"
>Nitori raises her fist, "ZING!!"

>Fistpalm. "Idea! Yukari, open a viewing gap so we can see what that fairy's up to~!"

>Yukari opens a viewing gap to show Cirno at the bank of the Misty Lake, freezing frogs and having a bit too much fun doing it.
>Hina and Shizuha both take a deep intake of breath, "Suwako will not be happy..."
>Minoriko shrugs, "So what? If she gets angry, we can calm her down with autumn vegetables and Hina can just pull out her misfortune. Everybody wins."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Now, work your magic Yukari dear~ Let's see if she improves any~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Now, work your magic Yukari dear~ Let's see if she improves any~"

>Yukari grins.
>Cirno immediately grows. She becomes almost double her original height, as do her curves. Her hair becomes wavy and reaches down her back, as well as darkening subtly.
>The sudden growth and surprise causes her to over-balance and fall face-first into the lake.

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "That was worth it. But let's watch to see if she's improved in other ways~ Yukari, audio as well please~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "That was worth it. But let's watch to see if she's improved in other ways~ Yukari, audio as well please~?"

>Yukari alters the gap, to act as a one-way sound conductor too.

>As Cirno gets up, she sighs, "Dumb pranksters!!"
>...It seems her voice hasn't changed much at all. It's just as annoying as it once was, even if just a tone or two lower. Not really noticeable.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Now let's drop that fairy friend of hers on her. Eh, what was her name again? Daiyousei?"
>Grin. "And then give her the same little gift~ I daresay the following events will be worth watching~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Now let's drop that fairy friend of hers on her. Eh, what was her name again? Daiyousei?"
>Grin. "And then give her the same little gift~ I daresay the following events will be worth watching~"

>Yukari grins and opens another viewing gap to show Daiyousei going about her business by flying around the lake like the empty-headed little thing she is.
>Yukari opens a gap below Daiyousei, and the latter doesn't notice.
>Daiyousei suddenly grows a lot taller. A LOT taller. She definitely becomes more shapely, like Cirno, but her hair stays rather short and straight, just a little darker and... shinier.
>The sudden shock causes Daiyousei to drop through the gap below her and land butt-first on Cirno's back.
>Cirno yells, "Daiyousei!! What-... whoa, what happened to you?"
>Daiyousei yelps, "Ci-Cirno, what happened to YOU? Your hair... y-...YOU! You're... older..."
>Cirno shrugs, "Wait, what?!"
>Looking in the lake, she sees her own reflection and dives back a pace or two. They both look pretty shocked.
