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.

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]

Aya:

> Frown and sigh.
> Pick up one of the bags of snacks, wrap it up so the opening is loosely covered, and swallow it.

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."
