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

Hey, you're the player. I honestly think I went way overboard with the whole Mokou sidestory... Well, this arc is kinda almost over anyways. And now back to our not actually regularily scheduled post.

>You don't think you'll be able to react in any sort of angry way now. You're just too emotionally tired..

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #541 on:** April 30, 2011, 05:50:44 PM »

I think you went exactly overboard enough. Just that Mokou ended up taking a lot of sanity hits in the process~

>Just weep it out for now. Either we'll get over it enough to function for a few tens of minutes, Yukari will lose patience, or we get arrested for killing the Emperor.

>"Eventually, Mokou's tears stopped"
>And by miracle, they did!~
>Yukari asks you:"So, are we leaving for Gensokyo, then? I presume you'd love to meet some actual nice people by now"

>You turn your head around a few times, but all you see is Yukari inside her gap and the Emperor's scorched corpse...
>"I saved your dad by sending him to your mother. He'd have been killed otherwise. You were overtaken by your newfound powers because you don't have the selfcontrol the lunarians have. It was just .. an exhaust of excess power that you got after you drunk the Elixir."

>Stumble toward the gap whilst we're still emotionally numb enough to do things before the horror overtakes us again.

>"You could've been overtaken by the inate evil of the Elixir, but fortunately, you didn't..
>You sigh, and walk over to the gap. You arrive at the same purple abyss you were last time, but the air seems a bit different. There's a bridge under you now, too!"

>Just follow Yukari. Don't think about what happened. Don't think about what happened. Just stare down at the bridge. The nice, normal bridge...

>Yukari laughs maniacally, and when she's calmed down, she says:"I was only joking.. Lightening the mood is our main priority right now, right?"
>You don't think about what just happened. You just left your past behind you, and you've repressed all those thoughts...
>You look at the bridge. Fortunately, it's wide enough that you don't look down, which has actually become important since you've just noticed you can't float anymore...

>Yukari grins.
>"I could also seperate those memories from you.. It would be a lot easier on you.."
>"The way to Gensokyo is really quite easy. Travelling from one plane of existence to another is very elemental, for some reason. Perhaps the Ancient Gods lived here before I did.."

>"I've met some of them, in my travels. Yuugen is one of them, but I don't know a lot about her. There's this girl Kikuri, who doesn't have a human body but instead is some kind of soul embodying a moon. And lastly there's an angelic girl called Sariel. She's the Yama of Gensokyo, or at least, she was. Some lady called Eiki was installed in her place. I don't think she's quite as strong as Sariel, though!"

>You look up ahead. The bridge looks to be no longer than a mile, and at the end, you can see some kind of red building, with the usual gap distortion around it. Could that be Gensokyo's Hakurei Shrine?

>You walk for a few more minutes, and you reach the gap. On the other side is a plain, wooden building with a shimenawa hanging over the entryway. The gap is floating just over the shrine stairs. A sign on the roof says 'Hakurei Shrine. Don't steal my donation box again! Reimu Hakurei'

Girls are done reminiscing, thanks for waiting!

>You are once again Sakuya Izayoi.
>You're still in the room with Mokou, but she seems to have fallen asleep again. You decided it wouldn't be nice to wake her up, so you let het lie for another hour.
>When she wakes up, she shivers and says: "Wow.. My memories just came surging back.. That was pretty scary.."
