Maribel Hearn Quest - ACT 1

[Monarda]

>Pet Tewi before she goes away. And also pet Kagerou.
>"Hey Chen, where did Lady Yukari go anyways ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay. Thank you very much Tewi."

>"No problem." she replies as she begins to walk out of the clearing.

>Pet Tewi before she goes away. And also pet Kagerou.

>Tewi does not appreciate your petting.
>Kagerou, on the other hand, starts wagging her tail and getting excited.

>"Do you think you could get her scent from me? We've been around each other sinc-... for a while."

>"I'm not sure." Kagerou replies, "Pulling a scent off of a friend isn't the most effective way to get a scent, you know... In fact, whatever trace of her scent she had on you has probably blended into your scent by now, if that's the case."

>"Hey Chen, where did Lady Yukari go anyways ?"

>"She probably went home." Chen answers, "If not, then maybe she's in the netherworld, and if she's not there then she could be anywhere in Gensokyo."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Chen, do you think you could call Yukari or contact her somehow?"

[Monarda]

>"And what is that place with all those eyes when i went through that gap of hers ?"

Edit: Wow, i guess you are this place's resident encyclopedia ? That's pretty neat !

[the old guy]

>Do we know how yukari's powers work?

Also Maribel is aware of the Netherworld canonically.

>"Chen, do you think you could call Yukari or contact her somehow?"

>"I don't have a direct link to Yukari-sama, but I could try contacting Ran-sama and get her to relay a message if you want." Chen replies.

>"And what is that place with all those eyes when i went through that gap of hers ?"

>"I'm not really sure, to be honest, I think Yukari-sama said it was something like a void between boundaries or something. I don't know..."

>Do we know how yukari's powers work?

>You'd expect they'd work similar to, if not like a more advanced version, of your own.
>_

[Neovereign]

>We could try using the scent from the gun, since it was the last thing she had with her...

[Monarda]

>....however, not only the gun has been thrown into a gap only Yukari knows where it goes, and to top it off how would you think Kagerou would react being presented a fired probably bloody gun to sniff ? We're better off trying to find a clue at the Hakurei Shrine.

[Neovereign]

>Yea, pretty much only use it if nothing else works and no one else can help us.

>You consider using the gun to get Renko's scent, but you neither have it, nor do you know how Kagerou will react to it.

>Yea, pretty much only use it if nothing else works and no one else can help us.

>However, you think it might be good as a last resort if you can't find anything else with Renko's scent or if nobody else can help you track her down.

//Also, on an unrelated note, have you guys seen this awesome Touhou fangame that's about to come out soon? It looks amazing!

[Neovereign]

//Self advertising team ⑨ quest again? Have you no shame?
//Speaking of games, this online fighting game finally has a new mode instead of just costumes. Still waiting on Grand Chase characters to come back though...
> "So uh, the Hakurei Shrine..."

[Monarda]

//You two...... oh well.
>"We better get moving right ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "So uh, the Hakurei Shrine..."

>"We better get moving right ?"

>"Of course." Kagerou begins walking in a direction.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Follow her.
>"Curious question. How does it feel to have a tail? Is it just like an arm, or is it too different?"

[Monarda]

>"And with those ears does that mean you can also hear better than others ? Like those fluffy rabbits ?"
>Wait, so logically the Rabbits and Kagerou don`t have regular human ears on the sides of their heads right ?
>"Umm, and uh..... this is kinda odd, but... can i ehhh... _{^{pet you}} ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Follow her.

>You and Chen begin following the wolf girl.

>"Curious question. How does it feel to have a tail? Is it just like an arm, or is it too different?"

>"Well... I feel more balanced with it, I guess... It doesn't really feel the same as an arm or leg... You wouldn't understand." Kagerou replies.
>"I can't really explain it any better..." Chen remarks.

>"And with those ears does that mean you can also hear better than others ? Like those fluffy rabbits ?"

>"Of course, I can hear better than humans with these ears." Kagerou answers as you continue walking.
>"Me too!" Chen adds, "Hey... Um... Kagerou... You're not one of those dogs that hat cats, are you..?"

>"Nah, I'm actually okay with cats, for the most part..." the wolf girl pauses, "And I'm a wolf... well, werewolf... not a dog!"

>Wait, so logically the Rabbits and Kagerou don`t have regular human ears on the sides of their heads right ?

>You think so...? You're honestly not sure, every youkai with animal ears you've seen so far has hair obscuring the view of their human ears if they have any...

>"Umm, and uh..... this is kinda odd, but... can i ehhh... _{^{pet you}} ?"

>Kagerou stops and scowls at you, "Excuse me?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I was just asking if, uh... you had a parasol, in case it rains again... Oh, that's it, the word was umbrella, hah..."

[Monarda]

>Let`s hope that works, but we/i Maribel WILL get to pet someone !
>"Wait, were you born a _^fluffy werewolf or did you become one by some other means ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I was just asking if, uh... you had a parasol, in case it rains again... Oh, that's it, the word was umbrella, hah..."

>She continues to scowl, "Didn't I just tell you I can hear better than humans? I know what you said, and the answer is no! It's both humiliating and degrading." she turns around and continues walking, "_{^{Ugh, the nerve of some people...}}"
>"But a good petting can be nice if it's from someone you like!" Chen remarks.
>Kagerou shoots a glare over her shoulder.

>Let`s hope that works, but we/i Maribel WILL get to pet someone !

>You resolve to pet a fluffy animal Youkai before the day is done, even if it kills you!

>"Wait, were you born a _^fluffy werewolf or did you become one by some other means ?"

>Kagerou angrily turns around, "Fluffy!?! Excuse me, but I am anything but fluffy!"
>_

[Neovereign]

> "I'm sorry!"
> "Though, I need to ask you a serious question. Can you fly? And if so, could you carry me? W-We're going to slow as it is, and flying is faster than running, right!? I didn't want to ask Chen because she's not as big..."

[Monarda]

>"And you didn`t answer my question ^{_{although for a fair reason}}, were you born this way ?"

//Note to self: Don`t pet or attempt to pet Kagerou without a backup plan, nor discuss how fluffy she is. :V

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "I'm sorry!"

>"Hmph..."

> "Though, I need to ask you a serious question. Can you fly? And if so, could you carry me? W-We're going to slow as it is, and flying is faster than running, right!? I didn't want to ask Chen because she's not as big..."

>"Seriously?" she gives you a look before sighing, "Alright, fine... But only because I would like to get this done before nightfall..."

>"And you didn`t answer my question ^{_{although for a fair reason}}, were you born this way ?"

>"Well... Yes and no..." Kagerou replies, "I looked like a pretty normal human as a pup - I mean, kid... My wolf traits would only come out during the full moon... But as I grew older, some of my wolf traits kinda became permanent... Most of them still come out on the full moon though..."

[Neovereign]

>"Thank you. I really hope we can find her before something bad happens to her."
>Wait to be picked up. It's not like she's gonna tell us to hop on her back.........is it?

[Monarda]

> Resist any urges to mofumofu her.
>"I'm sorry i have to ask this, i asked Tewi and Chen to try to teach me how to do it, but it didn't work, i guess i have to ask someone else like Lady Yukari."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thank you. I really hope we can find her before something bad happens to her."
>Wait to be picked up. It's not like she's gonna tell us to hop on her back.........is it?

>Kagerou walks behind you and puts her arms around your waist. She begins floating in the air, faltering slightly from your added weight, but quickly recovers.

> Resist any urges to mofumofu her.

>You do so.

>"I'm sorry i have to ask this, i asked Tewi and Chen to try to teach me how to do it, but it didn't work, i guess i have to ask someone else like Lady Yukari."

>"Well... Not everyone masters flying their first time, I've heard... Maybe you just need time and practice?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"But I don't really have time. That's why I wanted you to carry me there."

[Monarda]

>"So how was your time learning to fly like, if i may ask ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"But I don't really have time. That's why I wanted you to carry me there."

>"Well that's a shame..."

>"So how was your time learning to fly like, if i may ask ?"

>"To be honest I learned rather quickly... Maybe it was because of my youkai side? I don't know... It took me about a day to master just staying off the ground, and about a week to fully get the hang of it..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Starting to learn it in a day is quick!? D-Darn it..."
>Actually...
>"Wait, if you can shoot danmaku, how long did it take you to learn that? Or, did you just know it..."

[Monarda]

>"This place is so strange and interesting ! You have shrine maidens that maintain the order, immortals that fight to the death just to revive again, cute rabbit people that dig out those holes and live on a strange mansion, i think Reimu also talked about a friend of her's that's a magician too, little cute catgirl shikigami of another fluffy shikigami of a person that looks like me. What's next ?"
>Become Mini-Yukari
>Realize we might end up like Yukari with 2 shikigamis.
>"Hey, is it possible that i am half human and youkai ? If so how can i discover it ?"
