Neo Gensokyo Quest - Part 8

[Kilgamayan]

> Support our wing holding the bag in place using our hands.
> Unsummon our chibi-self, just in case. Open our eyes again while we do this.
> Then try squeezing our wing around the bag using our hands, with the intent of making it go inside our wing. (Be careful not to break ourself!)

> You get rid of the other you and try to push the bag into your wing, carefully squeezing it in.
> It... seems like it starts to work. Though, you think it's more like it's getting covered in the fur of your wing. Not like your fur is going out to meet it, but instead, maybe like pushing the contents of a bag down to hold it better.
> ...
> Though, the size of your wings does mean it's a bit deeper than you'd expect. With your wing "holding" it like this, it's fully concealed, but if you were to just stash it against your wing spread out, it'd probably stick out.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Hmm.
> Double-check via feeling with our hands - is the bag inside physical base structure of the wing, or is it simply buried within fur and feathers?
> If it appears to be the latter, try squeezing it in some more in an attempt to push it inside the physical base structure.

> It's just the latter.
> You try to smush it in more, though to no success...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Stop squeezing, and close our eyes again.
> Feel the bag within our wing, getting a sense of everywhere it ends and we begin.
> Then resume squeezing it into us, but also focus on willing the boundary of the bag to pass through the boundary of our wing, to be inside it rather than outside.

> You close your eyes now that the bag is in a spot you can feel more than see, and try to will it closer into you, and finally, into you...
> ...
> It doesn't feel like you're managing, however... You do feel a tad bit different in a way you can't put your finger on. Perhaps you were too focused to notice where or how, though, and the sensation has passed.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Is that the same sensation we felt when trying something similar in the dream?

[Neovereign]

> Is that the same sensation we felt when trying something similar in the dream?

> You don't think so?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Was there anything identifiable about the feeling, that we can get any information from?

[Neovereign]

> Was there anything identifiable about the feeling, that we can get any information from?

> Not really. At best, you could try the recent process again and see if that feeling comes by again.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Try it again, then. If we get that sensation, shift our focus to it.

[Neovereign]

> Try it again, then. If we get that sensation, shift our focus to it.

> You go through the process again, trying to get the bag into your wing.
> For a moment, it seems like something might've happened to Ami, you think? Is that it?
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Check on Ami? If she moving still?
> If not, call out softly: "Ami?"

[Neovereign]

> Check on Ami? If she moving still?
> If not, call out softly: "Ami?"

> She is. At least it feels like it still.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Resummon our chibi-self, close our eyes again, and open our mouth.
> Quickly fly our chibi-self into our mouth and down until we can see Ami.

[Neovereign]

> Resummon our chibi-self, close our eyes again, and open our mouth.
> Quickly fly our chibi-self into our mouth and down until we can see Ami.

> You make that other self of yours and send it down for investigation.
> ...This would be a lot more possible if there was light, but at least you can feel the other Tengu still present by hand now.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Does it possibly feel like Ami is physically connected to us? Or does she still feel like a separate entity that's just sitting inside us?

> If we can summon light WITHOUT shooting danmaku, do so using our chibi-self, so that we can see Ami.
> If we cannot summon light in that manner, have our chibi-self softly speak: "Ami?"

> If we cannot summon light in that manner, have our chibi-self softly speak: "Ami?"

> You can't say. You don't have any evidence for nor against such a theory. You'd bet on the latter more than the former.

> You can't. Thus, you call for her.
> You hear a yawn.
> "Time to get to work?" Ami questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Try controlling Ami's body, without wind use, to make her turn over from her resting position.

Chibi-Aya:

> "No, you're fine to keep relaxing. In fact, how are you feeling?"

[Neovereign]

Aya:

> Try controlling Ami's body, without wind use, to make her turn over from her resting position.

Chibi-Aya:

> "No, you're fine to keep relaxing. In fact, how are you feeling?"

> You try to make Ami turn over, though she already seems to be.

> "Kinda rested. Fine, I suppose." Ami responds, stretching a bit. "...Are you in here too? Is this still...?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Chibi-Aya:

> "It is, but yes, I'm in here too. I'll explain later. In the meantime, let me know if you feel anything weird right now."

Aya:

> Resume trying to squeeze the bag through our physical wing structure so it ends up inside it, while trying to will our wing to allow the bag passage through to the inside of it.

[Neovereign]

Chibi-Aya:

> "It is, but yes, I'm in here too. I'll explain later. In the meantime, let me know if you feel anything weird right now."

Aya:

> Resume trying to squeeze the bag through our physical wing structure so it ends up inside it, while trying to will our wing to allow the bag passage through to the inside of it.

> "Okay." Ami agrees.

> You try to squeeze the bag in more... Though nothing seems to come from it, not even that recent sensation anymore.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Chibi-Aya:

> Using our hands to feel our surroundings, move to the side out of the way of the incoming bag.
> "Nothing, I'm guessing? Okay. Anyway, there's some snacks coming for you."

Aya:

> Given how the bag is at least tucked in amongst the fur and feathers of a wing, do we feel like we could hide a person away within our wing in the same manner, even if we can't get them within the physical structure?

> Frown and sigh.
> Pick up one of the bags of snacks, wrap it up so the opening is loosely covered, and swallow it.
> Then head to our front door, open it, and send out an order across whatever winds we can muster that, if you are Suzaku Fujinmaru, you must come to Aya Shameimaru's house as soon as reasonably able.

> "No. Should I have felt something weird?"

> You probably could for a fairy. You think a full person might be too much, even at the base of your wing. It might be possible with two of your wings pressed against each other, but that'll likely be annoying to keep up.
> You down one of the bags, and "call" out for your other subordinate...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Aya:

> Are we properly dressed?
> Head back into our bedroom.

Chibi-Aya:

> "Possibly. I was getting some strange sensations while trying to do something while you were asleep, and they seemed like they might have been coming from you. I'm going to try again, but this time, without this me here. Let the main me know if you feel anything strange, she can probably hear you."

Aya:

> Unsummon our chibi-self, and close our eyes again.
> Go through the process once more of trying to will and force the bag inside our wing's physical base structure. If we feel the sensation again, shift our focus to that.

> You are.
> You start back for your bedroom and try again, without your other self...
> Still doesn't seem to work. You don't feel the sensation again, either.
> "Did you really swallow a bag of snacks? How are you gonna get this out? Or me out, actually?" Ami questions.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown deeper in irritation.
> Spread our wings out fully, and have a look at how visible the bag is.
> "I'm sure everything can get out the same way it went in."
> Walk back to the front door and open it to keep an eye out for Suzaku. (Adjust our wings as needed to avoid bonking them into stuff.)

> "Fair."
> The bag blends in well. Most would probably think it's some leaves stuck to you, even up close.
> You head back to the door, looking out for Suzaku...
> ? It feels like the ground is rumbling a bit.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Step outside, and then hover a few inches off the ground while looking around for the source of the rumbling.

[Neovereign]

> Step outside, and then hover a few inches off the ground while looking around for the source of the rumbling.

> You step out and float off the ground.
> A water spout erupts near your home. Or, rather, Gwen, does...?
> It's definitely that water figure, but it looks different than just Nitori. It looks kinda like a tengu of some sort.
> You notice the scabbard on her side, as well as that discolored ribbon adorning it.
