Remilia Quest Dh?

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow. "I'll hear it. Also, if you really do wish to make amends for their trouble-making ways, then you should instead find those who Envy and Gluttony Possessed. And be sure to make it up to those that Greed and Wrath may have Possessed as well."
>Who do we know of that would be a good candidate for Wrath to attempt to Possess?
>Then smirk a bit. "Although, if you know what magic it was that restored the broken window, then by all means, I'd be willing to accept that as a means of making amends. I can't tell you how often the Mansion gets damaged between Marisa's intrusions, and my own little sister's...'moods'. So having a magic to restore damages such as that would be quite useful."

>Raise an eyebrow. "I'll hear it. Also, if you really do wish to make amends for their trouble-making ways, then you should instead find those who Envy and Gluttony Possessed. And be sure to make it up to those that Greed and Wrath may have Possessed as well."

>He wanted me to tell you, 'You should be proud of your servant, Remilia. She's a better and stronger woman than you know.'"

>Who do we know of that would be a good candidate for Wrath to attempt to Possess?

>Despite a lot of powerful people nursing a lot of old grudges in Gensokyo, there's not a lot of people who you would consider truly the 'angry' sort, at least not that would go well with this Wrath.
>Except maybe two. Those immortals, Fujiyama no Mokou and Kaguya Houraisan. They've despised each other for hundreds, if not thousands of years. You believe they've been killing each other every other day for the past century straight. From your experience, neither one of them would be particularly angry as a rule, but that sort of grudge, that enmity, could very well be attractive to Wrath. You're just not sure which one would be the angriest of the two.

>Then smirk a bit. "Although, if you know what magic it was that restored the broken window, then by all means, I'd be willing to accept that as a means of making amends. I can't tell you how often the Mansion gets damaged between Marisa's intrusions, and my own little sister's...'moods'. So having a magic to restore damages such as that would be quite useful."

>"Uh..."
>"I can answer that." Celes' voice comes from the hallway. Reimu steps furthur into the room to allow the Steward to enter. "Sakuya herself did that. I asked her when I checked on her status before. She reversed the window's time to before it was broken."
>"Didn't know she could do that." Reimu admits.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hm. She wouldn't have been able to do that normally methinks. Not without intense exertion that is. I assume it was thanks to the boost in power she had from attempting to absorb Pride."
>Nod. "Tell me, would Wrath, by any chance, be drawn to a long-standing grudge? Such as, perchance, one that could very well have lasted for a thousand years?"

>Fistpalm. "Ah yes, I had almost forgotten. But I think you shall need to seal their possession ability, that's the only thing that I could see that would cause issue with you and the others becoming unsealed. Not many people take kindly to being possessed after all. Yourself being the exception, as they were born from you to begin with. Perhaps they could take up jobs relating to their specialties even. I daresay that Pride could benefit from taking up Winemaking really, the Keep's gardens would be quite conducive to that methinks. Magic could also help in that regard."
>Beat.
>"Ah, that gives me another idea. Tsumiko, could I borrow you and Lust for a bit? I want to run an idea past you two that I've been wondering on the answer to for a while now."
>Let's make for the door, and motion for the two to follow us with a slight smile. "Let's leave Hong and Sakuya to themselves for a while, hm?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Hm. She wouldn't have been able to do that normally methinks. Not without intense exertion that is. I assume it was thanks to the boost in power she had from attempting to absorb Pride."
>Nod. "Tell me, would Wrath, by any chance, be drawn to a long-standing grudge? Such as, perchance, one that could very well have lasted for a thousand years?"

>"I would think so." Tsumiko agrees. "If we hadn't been able to get the two of them apart, there's no telling how much power over time she would have had."
>"It's certainly possible."
>"You thinking about the princess and Mokou?" Reimu asks. "Makes sense, they've hated each other for ages."

>Fistpalm. "Ah yes, I had almost forgotten. But I think you shall need to seal their possession ability, that's the only thing that I could see that would cause issue with you and the others becoming unsealed.

>Lust and Tsumiko exchange a look. "Miss Scarlet, the Sins weren't born from me."

>Beat.
>"Ah, that gives me another idea. Tsumiko, could I borrow you and Lust for a bit? I want to run an idea past you two that I've been wondering on the answer to for a while now."
>Let's make for the door, and motion for the two to follow us with a slight smile. "Let's leave Hong and Sakuya to themselves for a while, hm?"

>"Sure." Reimu and Celes depart the room first, while Meiling turns towards the door as well. Somewhat surprisingly, she seems unrattled by your tease.
>"I'll take her home, Remi." Meiling informs you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow. "Strange. The way you spoke, I had assumed they were."
>Then nod to Reimu. "Yes, those are who I was thinking of. It's hard to tell which one Wrath would be more drawn to though. But if either of them is just as stubborn as Sakuya, then we might have a problem on our hands."
>Pass a smile back to Hong, an honest one this time. "Keep an eye on her now, you hear? And have Patche give her a look-over as well, she might have some residual energies from Pride that I think she can use to further her own studies. I plan to have Patche weave a spell to prevent things from possessing her again, and have that same spell applied to Patche, Koa, and yourself as well. I don't want a repeat of this little incident at all, from any sort of source. Oh, and make sure she stays in bed, my orders."

>Tsumiko shakes her head, and her hair falls into her eyes again. "I'd be more than willing to tell you how I came to be what I am, but it is a lengthy story."
>"That'd be an incident right there. But it probably wouldn't be Mokou. If it were, then we'd probably see the fire from here, and Yukari would already have gapped me back."

>Pass a smile back to Hong, an honest one this time. "Keep an eye on her now, you hear?

>"Understood, Remilia. I'll take care of her."
>"Knowing her, though, she's going to ask about you when she wakes up, so how long do you think you'll be here?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Look to Hong. "I shouldn't be too long, I do plan to get back by sunrise after all. I just have a few small things to do here anyways, mostly concerning setting things up for the SIns, and arranging things with Eriza involving Rei's future. The girl copied my Servant Flier technique after all, it isn't every day you find a youngling like her who can mimic an Elder after all."
>Then gesture towards Tsumiko and Lust. "In private, if you would? I have a little idea that needs looking into, and I think you two have the right skills for the job."
>Let's make our way to a nearby side-room.

[Oldmansour]

The girl copied my Servant Flier technique after all, it isn't every day you find a youngling like her who can mimic an Elder after all."

>"If you wanted to be home by sunrise, perhaps you'd best leave soon." Celes advises. "It won't be long before sunrise as it is. Alternatively, if you wished to stay longer, that can easily be arranged. In the meantime, Hong-san, I can escort you to the nearest exit. I trust you'd rather depart in a less dramatic manner than you arrived."
>"That's a good idea. And Meiling is fine." she adds as she falls in next to Celes. "Remilia's about the only one that calls me Hong."

>Then gesture towards Tsumiko and Lust. "In private, if you would? I have a little idea that needs looking into, and I think you two have the right skills for the job."
>Let's make our way to a nearby side-room.

>"This should be interesting." Lust says sideways tone as you, her and Tsumiko leave the room, walk down the hall, and enter into a room on the left, one furnished rather like the one Sakuya was in, though with different artwork. This one features a japanese style shrine with a dancing miko on the south wall, and a geisha playing a koto on the east wall. This room has no window.
>"So what's on your mind, Miss Scarlet?" Lust asks you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk slightly, and close the door.
>After making sure there's no eavesdroppers; "I have a plan for a little trick to pull on Reimu. Recall what you did with me earlier. I think it would be both amusing and interesting to see her 'Ideal'."
>Chuckle slightly. "How amusing though, that this room has a Miko for decoration, and we're discussing one. Irony? Or perhaps Fate."

[Oldmansour]

>Smirk slightly, and close the door.

>While Lust grins, Tsumiko merely gasps. "You want to prank a Hakurei? Are you crazy? She'll bury us all."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk a bit. "Well, not necessarily prank, per se, merely see what her 'Ideal' is. And maybe see what her reaction to seeing it would be. She's a stubborn and irascible one you know, I think it would be nice to see her all red and flustered for a change."
>Look from side to side in a slightly exaggerated way. "Don't say I told you this, but if anyone registers at least six out of the seven sins, it's her."

[Oldmansour]

>Smirk a bit. "Well, not necessarily prank, per se, merely see what her 'Ideal' is. And maybe see what her reaction to seeing it would be. She's a stubborn and irascible one you know, I think it would be nice to see her all red and flustered for a change."
>Look from side to side in a slightly exaggerated way. "Don't say I told you this, but if anyone registers at least six out of the seven sins, it's her."

>"Besides, you shouldn't worry that much about her." Lust says to her Keeper. "This Hakurei beat all of us, but we're all still here. The worst she did was wallop Sloth with that huge ball of hers. Times have changed since we first got here. I don't think we need to be really afraid of her."
>"Maybe, but she's still a Hakurei, and all that power..."
>"I think you ought to loosen up, girl." Lust says with a grin.
>Tsumiko winces, then sighs quietly. "You know what could happen, right?" she asks you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle slightly. "Well, she won't kill us, that much is for sure. She's relatively easygoing after an Incident's been resolved. In fact, shortly after my own little Incident was brought to a close by her, I visited her at the Shrine. In fact, even people who have caused potentially dangerous incidents have been let off rather easily. There was a ghost who stole spring to unseal a certain dangerous cherry tree. That was resolved partially by Hakurei, partially by Kirisame, and partially by my own chief maid. So I know the outcome of that one due to her reports. Said ghost is still very much around and not sealed."
>Smirk. "Besides, Yakumo pesters her all the time, she needs to be pestered by someone else for a change. Mix things up as it were. Girl's too serious and grumpy as it is, she could do with getting flustered a bit."

[Oldmansour]

>"Well, honey, there's flustered, and then there's flustered." Lust says, leaning on Tsumiko's back and resting her ample bosom atop her Keeper's head. Tsumiko seems only mildly uncomfortable at the position.

[Hanzo K.]

>"True, I'm talking about the embarrassed babbling, red-in-the-face sort."
>Smirk a bit. "It would be rather amusing to see the normally stoic and grouchy Reimu behave like that for a change."

[Oldmansour]

>"True, I'm talking about the embarrassed babbling, red-in-the-face sort."
>Smirk a bit. "It would be rather amusing to see the normally stoic and grouchy Reimu behave like that for a change."

>Lust clucks her tongue and pouts ever so slightly. "Oh, I can do much better than that."
>Tsumiko smiles, almost apologetically. "She IS still Lust, after all."
>"And I do love what I am." Lust adds with aplomb.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle, and keep smirking slightly. "We don't want to overdo it, do we?"

[Oldmansour]

>Chuckle, and keep smirking slightly. "We don't want to overdo it, do we?"

>"We don't?"
>"Perhaps not on the first date, Lust?" Tsumiko suggests.
>The Sin pouts again. "But she's a delicious miko."
>"You can't eat her." Tsumiko says firmly.
>Lust laughs a gay little laugh, then removes her breasts from her Keeper's head. "But seriously, I do enjoy that sort of thing, as long as it doesn't cause any harm. And I think it'll be worth a bit of a thrashing, if she's the sort that does that when she gets embarrassed."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh. "I don't know if there even will be another 'date'. But a little joke at her expense is worth it."

[Oldmansour]

>Sigh. "I don't know if there even will be another 'date'. But a little joke at her expense is worth it."

>"Hey, we're here to stay now." Lust says confidently. "And this Hakurei's a lot cuter than the one we met. And a lot more... permissive. And I mean that in the normal sense, seeing as how, as you've said, trouble-makers get off relatively easy nowaways. Two centuries ago, none of us would still be here after meeting a Hakurei, after an incident like this. Plus it was fun watching her drop that big ol' orb on Sloth's head. I like that type."
>"Don't suppose you have anyone else you'd like me to... Joke with? After we're done with dear miss Reimu, of course."

[Hanzo K.]

>"No, Reimu will be enough, as there's already been quite enough Sin Spirit related trouble of late. This is merely the proverbial keystone in the arch."

[Oldmansour]

>"No, Reimu will be enough, as there's already been quite enough Sin Spirit related trouble of late. This is merely the proverbial keystone in the arch."

>"Well, that just leaves the one question." Lust answers which a positively cat-like grin. "When and where?"

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hmm...That is a good question. How about at the Hakurei Shrine? I'll be able to give you a specific time once I've found out how long Sakuya will be in recovery."
>Sakuya certainly wouldn't want to miss out on seeing Reimu all a-fluster, would she?

[Branneg Xy]

It's my first time posting in the Party Games section so I'm a bit excited and hoping my reply flows well with the story.Let's see....
>Once the business with Lust and Tsumiko is taken care of and we have rejoined the others ,shouldn't we restock our blood supply and take a replacement for the pulverized blood in vial?
>After all sundering those two fates was rather taxing,satisfying but still taxing ,besides with sunrise approaching and both Greed and Wrath still on the loose it's better to be safe than sorry.

[Oldmansour]

>Sakuya certainly wouldn't want to miss out on seeing Reimu all a-fluster, would she?

>"I'll be waiting with baited breath."
>This sort of avenue is really more of your field of entertainment than Sakuya's. Then again, Sakuya isn't big on entertainment in general. She really can be a bit of a stick in the mud.

>In human terminology, you have a very efficient digestive system. There are times when you can go months between consuming blood, depending on your stress and activity level. Even after a night like this, you have yet to hunger, and while you probably COULD drink, it wouldn't be very much, perhaps only as much as... half a shot glass, if not less.
>As for your emergency back-up blood, Sakuya usually takes care of that as soon as you exhaust your current dose. Depending on her health when she wakes up, this may require outsourcing a little, but you're confidant she has something in mind for that. She may be a bit stodgy at times, but she's very thorough, especially when it comes to you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Hmm...What do we know of Yukari to know if she would find this amusing or not?
>Well, we likely haven't found the sort of entertainment she likes yet. Perhaps Opera, or something of the sort. Perhaps Der Freisch?tz would be a good choice.
>Ah, but who would play the leading roles of Caspar, Max, Agatha, the 'Hermit', and Samiel? Well, given how Samiel was a demon, perhaps we could fill that role. After all, being nobility means we have to know how to perform well!
>Hmm...What sort of love triangles do we know of? We might be able to use that somehow to make the performance better, and maybe even bring a little resolution.

>From what you know about Yukari, this would very much be up her alley. How you could contact her, you're not sure, but if she's as big a spy/irritant as Reimu's claimed, she may already know about your plan.
>A Gensokyo-styled opera. That might be worth selling tickets for, provided you can drum up some extra actors. Not the sort of thing you'd rope your fairies into. Apart from perhaps that Rainy Stars girl, she seemed to have a good head on her shoulders.
>Reputedly, Marisa is remarkably popular with the ladies, so you wouldn't be entirely surprised if she was the first point in a love triangle. Or two. You are reasonably sure there's one fixture on her right side already, and that's that dollmaker Margatroid who lives in the forest of magic. As for who'd be on the left side, that, you're less sure of. You know Patchouli could, and probably would, be attracted to Marisa, if the witch would just stop breaking into the library and pilfering her books. You're not sure just how far, on either side, Patchy's emotions range in the area.

[Hanzo K.]

>Fistpalm. "I just had a brilliant idea for something to do while Sakuya's recovering! I'll need to discuss it with Eriza and perhaps Celes as well though, as they might even find it worth participating in if it's intriguing enough."
>What better way to get them integrated than to rope those of this keep into the performance? Aside from the Invitational Tourney that is. After all, Nyx is rather good with a Cello, and we'll need that for the music!
>Let's make for the door. "Are you two going to just stand around? Let's be off!"
>Let's make for the throne room again!

>And, on the off chance that we do end up having to spend the day here, we've found the perfect room to use. Windowless, fine taste in decor, everything a girl of wealth and taste could ask for!

>By jove, you seem to have stumbled upon an idea. This being Gensokyo, any opera may inevitably end up involving danmaku, but you'll cross that bridge when you get there. And then of course there's the giant octopus who will try and drop a 10 ton weight atop Celes, but that's just icing on the cake.
>As you remark on the Countess' VIP room, you make your way back towards the throne room. And meet Rei on her way back there, as well, carrying an expensive looking silver tray laden with half a dozen empty tea cups and pot with steam coming out of the spout, and wearing a pink and white apron over her clothes.
>She instantly freezes when she lays eyes upon you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod towards her with a relatively relaxed and jovial smile. "Rei...Ah! Seeing you gave me another brilliant idea! I was on my way to the Throne Room to discuss an idea I had with Eriza and Celes, and I think you might be perfect for a certain role! I trust you know how to sing, yes? You'll need to be able to for my plan to work out properly."
>We may well have found the 'Agatha'. Which means we'll need to cast Reisen as either Max or Caspar. But who will be the opposite number?
>Then laugh. "Don't worry yourself, things have gotten rather smooth by now, as I have no issues with Eriza....Though I can't entirely say the same for some of the Sin Spirits, but that's 'par for the course', as they say in the outside world."
>Let's move on for the throne room with Rei in tow!
