Sakuya's Quest ~ Sakuya's Bizarre Adventure

[Yonowaaru]

>We'll think about it when we get there.
>Haul Dad along, he's got grievances too.

>No time to waste!
>You grab your dad, who willingly walks with you
>Yukari sees you're on the move, and starts walking with you.
>"So, do you now see why I need to speak to Kaguya?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah. Yeah I do. So...who did that year trick to us?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"I daresay that was li'l Kaguya.. I believe she has mastered the power of eternity..." Yukari says.
>Your father stares at you in an odd way..

[Hello Purvis]

>"It's a long story, Dad. This is Yukari, she's magic."
>Onwards!

[Yonowaaru]

>"It's a long story, Dad. This is Yukari, she's magic."
>Onwards!

>Your father is just being silent...
>You make your way to the audience room. A huge crowd of people are gathered here. Kaguya and the Emperor are standing on some sort of stage, and a third, nurse-clothed lady, is standing in the back. She looks kind of impatient...
>Inbetween them, a beautiful cup is placed. It's decorated with a moon made of a very shiny metal. You can't quite see if there's anything in there..

[Hello Purvis]

>"So how do we mess this up, Yukari?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"So how do we mess this up, Yukari?"

>"It's really quite simple: you drink the Hourai Elixir, become immortal, and kill Kaguya"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Huh? Drink what? Why? I'm not up to speed on all this stuff, you know! How about you magic up some kind of distraction and we'll knock her on her ass!"

[Yonowaaru]

>"Huh? Drink what? Why? I'm not up to speed on all this stuff, you know! How about you magic up some kind of distraction and we'll knock her on her ass!"

>"The Hourai Elixir was made by Eirin Yakogoro, the lady with the hat over there."
>"I think you will have to become immortal, if not just because the Youkai in Gensokyo might accidentily murder you."
>Yukari nods, and whispers:"Border of Stage and Audience"
>There's something .. changed with the stage..  Was that Yukari's work?

[Aba Matindesu!]

> What does the stage look like now, then?

[Yonowaaru]

> What does the stage look like now, then?

>There's ... some kind of barrier between the stage and the audience. When you look more closely, you see the people on the stage seem to be doing the same thing over and over again..

[Hello Purvis]

>Head toward the stage, keep Dad with us. We're gonna make 'em proud >=[

[Yonowaaru]

>Head toward the stage, keep Dad with us. We're gonna make 'em proud >=[

>You make your way through the crowd, and end up at the stage. Most people look at you angrily, but that doesn't really matter.

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh they're gonna have a reason to be angry alright. We've had far too many unnatural experiences at this point in time...
>Hop up on stage and make a beeline for the Princess.

[Yonowaaru]

>Oh they're gonna have a reason to be angry alright. We've had far too many unnatural experiences at this point in time...
>Hop up on stage and make a beeline for the Princess.

Parser's note: Darn you, Purv, and your ability to force my vocabulary to grow in such a way!

>You jump up the stage and pass the glass-looking border. On the other side, you see Kaguya, the Emperor, and 'Eirin', discussing.
>The Emperor notices you, and says:"Fujiwara's daughter? How did you get here?"
>Kaguya nods towards Eirin and says:"Dispose of her. We don't need any more trouble, with the Youkai of Borders already here..."
>Eirin grabs a bow that she'd been hiding at her back, and deposits a silver-coloured arrow onto it.

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we move so that the the Princess, or the emperor, is between the archer and us?

[Yonowaaru]

>Can we move so that the the Princess, or the emperor, is between the archer and us?

>You can always try. The odds aren't that bad, you have Yukari backing you and you're pretty quick. You don't know how fast they are, but you suppose the Emperor is a little less nimble than the Princess.

[Hello Purvis]

>Go for it; try to put Kaguya between us. We can't risk the Emperor being hurt, and these moon peoples clearly don't care.
>Close in on Kaguya too, if we can.

[Yonowaaru]

>Go for it; try to put Kaguya between us. We can't risk the Emperor being hurt, and these moon peoples clearly don't care.
>Close in on Kaguya too, if we can.

>You jump behind Kaguya, just before Eirin shoots her bow at where you were standing.
>Kaguya grunts, and says:"I said DISPOSE OF HER! Not LET HER GET BEHIND ME!"
>Eirin says:"I'm deeply sorry, Mistress.. It won't happen again."
>Eirin readies her bow again, but this time, she loads a golden arrow.

[Hello Purvis]

>Might as well press the advantage, grab Kaguya from behind. Hook an arm around her neck! Let's get a hostage!

[Yonowaaru]

>Might as well press the advantage, grab Kaguya from behind. Hook an arm around her neck! Let's get a hostage!

>You try to grab Kaguya by the neck, but before you know it, she's wacked you onto the ground.
>Then, to make things worse, Eirin fires the golden arrow into your head.. Ouch.
>Wait, you're not dead yet?
>Other than not being dead, you find you cannot move any muscles excpet for your mouth..


>Kaguya smiles, and says:"Now then! To our immortal love and lives!
>She grabs the cup and drinks from it. One sip, two sips, three sips..
>Kaguya is suddenly enveloped by a white light.. and cackles loudly!


>Suddenly, a wild Yukari appeared Yukari appears in a gap behind the cup, and quickly grabs it. The Emperor is stupified and tries to grab the cup, but instead falls to the ground
>Yukari appears next to you, and says:"Here, drink it! Quickly!"

[Hello Purvis]

>Struggle!
>"Why?"

[Yonowaaru]

>Struggle!
>"Why?"

>You struggle, but you can't move!
>"Let's put it this way: drink it or die. Is that easy enough?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep struggling, damnit.
>"Fine."
>Do so!

[Yonowaaru]

>Keep struggling, damnit.
>"Fine."
>Do so!

>Yukari puts the cup at your mouth, and you drink. It tastes like undistilled rainwater. With one sip, you don't feel like growing up anymore. With two sips, you suddenly feel a lot healthier. And with a third sip, you are suddenly enveloped by a reddish hue, and you can move once again!
>You are suddenly no longer in control of yourself, and in your uncontrol, you fire an array of fireballs! They hit the Princess and the Emperor, but not the Archer.
>The Emperor is scorched by the fire, and falls down to the ground. He seems quite dead... The Princess however quickly disappears in a cloud of smoke, only to reappear seconds later.. What IS this immortality thing about?

[Hello Purvis]

>Prisoner in our own body? Yeah this is going to cause some blown sanity checks ;_;

[Yonowaaru]

>Prisoner in our own body? Yeah this is going to cause some blown sanity checks ;_;

>This is insaneee... Well, you'll have all of eternity to get used to it..
>Kaguya has recovered, and says:"What? How did she.. Eirin! We are leaving!"
>Eirin walks over to Kaguya, and they both .. disappear out of existence..
>Yukari walks over to you, and says:"Hrm.. You had a lot to swallow for a human in such a short time. You must want some time to think. Hmm.. somewhere in Gensokyo where there are no people.. Hmm... How does an abandoned bamboo forest sound?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Are we in control of our own body now?
>If so, it's probably time to collapse into a weeping heap. We just lost control and killed a guy; and committed regicide on the descendant of Amaterasu.

[Yonowaaru]

>Are we in control of our own body now?
>If so, it's probably time to collapse into a weeping heap. We just lost control and killed a guy; and committed regicide on the descendant of Amaterasu.

>Kind of.. More than when you FREAKING FIRED FIREBALLS AT THE EMPEROR
>Oh god.. What did you just do? You collapse onto the floor and WEEP!
>You hear Yukari murmuring:"Jeez, this was to be expected, but I didn't expect humans to be THIS weakspirited..."

[Hello Purvis]

>Probably too far gone to rise to this bait...
