Touhouventure 6.Z

[20:57]	GM-Mizi	[Shingyoku, determined to be Zeke's Gensokyo tour guide, takes him to another landmark, The Youkai Mountain. Land of Tengu, Kappas, and a certain group of goddesses. It's well past noon, now.]
[20:58]	Zeke	is piggybacking on Shingy as it's the best setup for him to not fall. He's gripping pretty tightly; flying is awesome, but awesomely dangerous.
[20:59]	Zeke	"This is supposed to be awesome, this is supposed to be awesome, why is this not as awesome as it's supposed to be?!"
[20:59]	Zeke	has started to lose the high of "I'm in a magic world and life is great". He must find a way to reclaim it!
[21:01]	Zeke	tries to avoid the accidental yet probably inevitable boob-grab as Shingy is for some reason in female form. Piggyback leaves his knees and hands dangerously close...
[21:02]	Shingy	"What do you mean, it's not awesome?"
[21:03]	Zeke	"The ground... is very... far... down..."
[21:04]	Shingy	"Oh. Do you want me to fly lower?"
[21:04]	Zeke	actually IS starting to enjoy it in a death-defying adrenaline rush sort of way, but his conscious mind hasn't caught up yet.
[21:05]	Zeke	"N-No, no... If I fall I'm probably gone anyways. I'm, I'm good, I'm good."
[21:05]	Zeke	"It's only my second time... Haven't gotten used to it."
[21:06]	Orange	Hey! You there! Carrying the human!
[21:07]	Orange	crosses her arms as she approaches them from behind.
[21:07]	Zeke	is able to look around easier than Shingy, and does so.
[21:08]	Zeke	"Hello! I can't fly and am probably going to fall to a horrible death! How are you?"
[21:08]	Zeke	feels it's often best to start with a joke. Breaks the tension.
[21:10]	Orange	[A girl lookng around the age of 17, complete with a long crimson hair, donning another equally silly yellow hat. Her attire matches her hat too in a...actually rather gaudy fashion. Really, people in Gensokyo have no sense at all. Flying around her seems to be her baton. She smiles triumphantly as she approaches the two.]
[21:12]	Shingy	"You won't fall to your death. If you did fall, I'd be able to catch you. Anyways, I'm Shingyoku."
[21:12]	Shingy	pivots smoothily in the sky.
[21:13]	Orange	What are you doing here in my territory? hmm~?
[21:14]	Zeke	whispers to Shingy:
[21:14]	Zeke	{"Isn't the sky open flying for everyone?"}
[21:15]	Shingy	"This is your territory? Last I heard, anyone could fly through the sky."
[21:16]	Zeke	"We're just passing through on the way to the Shrine, Miss; no harm meant."
[21:16]	Orange	Not here I say! Hmph. Oh...actually on second thought..
[21:16]	Orange	Wait before that..
[21:16]	Orange	sniffs.
[21:16]	Orange	What is that human doing with you?...
[21:17]	Shingy	"He's under my protection."
[21:17]	Shingy	[Zeke can't see the smile Shingy is giving Orange, but it's fairly clear that she wants him, and not as food.]
[21:18]	Zeke	quickly invents a pretty true story.
[21:18]	Zeke	"I am a stranger, in a strange land, on a pilgrimage to where I know not."
[21:19]	Zeke	"I seek the council and direction only a shrine can give."
[21:19]	Zeke	"Would you bar a pilgrim on his journey to the holy land?"
[21:19]	Orange	's stomach growls..
[21:19]	Orange	Only if they don't have food to share with me.
[21:20]	Zeke	"I've still got some beef jerky."
[21:23]	Orange	Hmmm..
[21:23]	Orange	How much do you have?
[21:26]	Zeke	carefully reaches into his bag, trying to keep stable.
[21:27]	Zeke	arches his arm behind him and blindly rummages through his backpack for the ziplock bag...
[21:27]	Shingy	shifts how she's holding Zeke so he can go through his pack.
[21:28]	Zeke	reaches too far and loses his balance! He tightens his leg-long around Shingy's waist as he nearly topples back!
[21:28]	Zeke	"Woah woah WOOOOAH!!"
[21:29]	Orange	huh...?..what are you two doing?..
[21:29]	Zeke	loses the grip on his other hand, but gets it back quickly, albeit a little lower than where it was originally...
[21:29]	Shingy	grabs his arm, and holds it in place. Of course, this means he can't let go of Shingy's chest now.
[21:30]	Zeke	"Tip forwards, TIP FORWARDS!"
[21:30]	Orange	....
[21:30]	Orange	squints to see what's going on and grins upon seeing their...predicament.
[21:30]	Shingy	"You need help, Zeke?"
[21:31]	Zeke	's heart is racing too fast to comprehend where his hand is right now.
[21:31]	Zeke	"FORWARDS!"
[21:31]	Shingy	tips forwards in mid-air so he can regain his balance.
[21:32]	Zeke	curls down flat against Shingy's back and frantically wraps his other arm around her shoulder/neck area, grasping the beef jerkey packet for dear life.
[21:33]	Zeke	's breaths come in heaving near-asthmatic gasps.
[21:33]	Shingy	"Pass me the backpack, I'll get the jerky out for you."
[21:33]	Zeke	"I'm... I'm... I'm, I'm okay... I've... I've got it."
[21:34]	Orange	How bold.
[21:35]	Zeke	just rests against her back for now, shivering from the panic and clamping his eyes shut.
[21:38]	Zeke	"Maybe... we should land."
[21:38]	Zeke	still doesn't understand where his hands are right now.
[21:38]	Orange	Awww..
[21:39]	Orange	Just a little bit more and you would of had some fun..
[21:39]	Orange	floats down to a rocky outcropping below.
[21:42]	Zeke	is still a little dizzy and can't sense when they're ground-bound yet.
[21:42]	Shingy	"We're on the ground now."
[21:43]	Shingy	lets go of his arm.
[21:43]	Zeke	opens his eyes and his head stops spinning a little. He's a little more aware of himself now.
[21:43]	Zeke	"...Oh."
[21:43]	Orange	So.. are you two in the act of mating or something?
[21:44]	Zeke	unclamps his legs and lets go of Shingy. As he removes his hands he actually realized where the one had been the whole time...
[21:44]	Zeke	shakes his head. o O (No. Don't. Don't draw attention to it. They always do that.)
[21:45]	Zeke	walks up to Orange, still catching his breath and looking at the ground.
[21:45]	Zeke	"No... hooouhhhmmm... No, we weren't... hoouuhhmmm... Here, you can have it if you want."
[21:46]	Zeke	holds out the jerky with one hand, stabilizing his legs with the other.
[21:47]	Orange	Oh, alright. Thanks~
[21:47]	Orange	snatches it and devours the poor bag almost immediately
[21:47]	Zeke	sits down on the ground for now.
[21:47]	Zeke	"I'm all right... I'm all right."
[21:48]	Zeke	looks up at Shingy.
[21:48]	Zeke	"Thanks."
[21:49]	Shingy	"No problem. I should teach you to fly though, first."
[21:49]	Zeke	looks at her quizzically.
[21:50]	Zeke	decides not to question it. For now.
[21:50]	Zeke	"Probably."
[21:51]	Orange	looks at Zeke then Shingyoku.
[21:51]	Orange	...your potential for magic is low, bleh. Even worse than that stupid white and black magician.
[21:51]	Shingy	"Anyways, let me see about unlocking your magical potential..."
[21:52]	Zeke	"Here? Now?"
[21:52]	Zeke	looks up at the sky. Night is fast approaching.
[21:52]	Shingy	"Yes, it won't take that much time. I'll need you to take off your shirt, though."
[21:52]	Zeke	"We should really try to get to the shrine first, Shingokyu."
[21:52]	Zeke	"First thing's first."
[21:53]	Shingy	"Very well. Obviously, since piggyback wasn't working..."
[21:53]	Shingy	scoops him up in her arms.
[21:54]	Zeke	"It... WAS working... at first."
[21:54]	Zeke	is still a little too frazzled to argue much right now.
[21:54]	Shingy	[The three of them go airborne again and keep traveling up]
[21:54]	Orange	Hmm!.. oh since you gave me food.
[21:54]	Orange	I can show you how to get there easily.
[21:55]	Shingy	"Very well. Lead on, Orange."
[21:55]	Orange	Oh right..wait... I don't think I've told you my name yet...how did you find out?
[21:55]	Orange	eyes Shingyoku suspiciously.
[21:57]	Shingy	"Reimu told me about you when she was talking about the incidents she's solved."
[21:57]	Orange	...that red white shrine maiden told you?...pfft.
[21:57]	Orange	scoffs.
[21:58]	Orange	I'm surprised she even remembered who I am.
[21:59]	Zeke	tries not to look like some sort of baby or pet being held by Shingy, but in this position there's not much alternative. He puts the whole "breast proximity" thing out of his mind for now; she didn't mention it so best to keep it under wraps until later.
[21:59]	Shingy	"Anyways, do you visit the Moriya Shrine often?"
[22:00]	GM-Mizi	[You see a small group flying towards you from afar. They are getting closer.]
[22:00]	Orange	If only to tease the green haired priestess who lives up there.
[22:02]	Shingy	"That makes sense, I suppose."
[22:02]	Shingy	sharpens her vision, trying to see who is approaching.
[22:02]	Orange	Oh...?
[22:02]	Orange	The Tengu must of caught wind of us and decided to see why humans are trespassing here.
[22:02]	Zeke	is just gathering his thoughts together for now and sees nothing.
[22:03]	Zeke	"Huh? Wha?"
[22:04]	Shingy	"Ah, okay. We should be able to pass, though, right?"
[22:04]	Whitewolf	approaches the group with two accompanied crew. They dress the same, with sleeveless white cotton shirt and hakama.
[22:04]	Zeke	is facing the other way and doesn't see them.
[22:04]	Whitewolf	"Sorry for interrupting your travel, but I need to see your pass."
[22:05]	Whitewolf	"I hope you all are authorized to pass through Youkai mountain airspace?"
[22:05]	Zeke	hears official discussion! He is in a most unofficial position right now!
[22:05]	Orange	Told you..
[22:05]	Zeke	"Shingokyu? Hey, what's going on?"
[22:06]	Whitewolf	's ear twitches.
[22:06]	Whitewolf	"I don't think I've seen you before..."
[22:07]	Whitewolf	"Sorry, sir, but I need to see your I.D."
[22:07]	Zeke	cranes his head around to see the wolf soldier.
[22:08]	Zeke	"Hmm? Oh, uhh... I just got off the boat. They haven't given me my green card yet."
[22:09]	Zeke	"I was told it wasn't going to be a problem, ma'am."
[22:09]	Orange	Oh right... you did smell like an outsider..
[22:09]	Orange	No wonder everyone likes you so much...
[22:09]	Shingy	"Zeke doesn't have any. That's why we're bringing him up here."
[22:10]	Whitewolf	is a girl in her late teen period, with short fuzzy white hair and a pair of canine-like ears. She also has a white tail of matching color. Her outfit is a bit different than the regular wingmen accompanying her, as she has a stripe of red and orange on her hakama, and a maple crest on her shield. She has headgear that looks like a transciever, and is carrying a jagged blade on her back.
[22:11]	Zeke	gets a small bit nervous. This had better not be some kind of magical government red tape. Red tape is not a thing that should be in a place like this AT ALL.
[22:11]	Whitewolf	"Hm, this is troublesome. We really need to register all traffic in our airspace."
[22:11]	Whitewolf	"What village are you in?"
[22:12]	Shingy	"I live near the human village, and Zeke is an outsider."
[22:12]	Orange	Hiii Momizi-chan~
[22:12]	Whitewolf	"!"
[22:13]	Whitewolf	is surprised.
[22:13]	Orange	glomps the White wolf Tengu.
[22:13]	Whitewolf	"Outside----Wah!"
[22:13]	Whitewolf	gets tactical glomped. The two wingmen don't help. They even giggle among themselves.
[22:14]	Whitewolf	"Don't do this while I'm on duty!"
[22:14]	Orange	Yup, smells like one too. I'm surprised you didn't smell them, being a wolf and all.
[22:14]	Momizi	"Smelling people on their first meeting is improper!"
[22:15]	Momizi	faux-anger
[22:15]	Momizi	ahems!
[22:15]	Orange	Kay~ Have fun wit the outsiders then~
[22:15]	Orange	lets go.
[22:15]	Momizi	"A-Anyway! I need to get you registered."
[22:15]	Momizi	"Name, age, and current residence?"
[22:16]	Zeke	"Hmm? Ohh, umm..."
[22:16]	Momizi	nods once, and another Tengu girl steps up front with something resembles... a PDA?
[22:16]	Zeke	"Ezekiel Xavier Pike. Twenty-Two. Currently homeless."
[22:17]	Momizi	raise an eyebrow
[22:17]	Momizi	"Homeless? I can't write that down, y'know?"
[22:17]	Zeke	"You gonna have to; I don't know where I'm gonna settle down yet."
[22:18]	Momizi	sighs.
[22:18]	Zeke	"I'm still working on how to survive. Living comes after that."
[22:19]	Shingy	"Just put down Human Village for him. It's easiest."
[22:19]	Zeke	"Oh yeah, unemployed too. But I'm working on that."
[22:19]	Orange	Oh.. Momi-chan~~~ I'm going to crash at your place tonight okay~?
[22:20]	Momizi	"That will have to do. You will be on close watch during your flight. Sorry about this, but you have to bear with it. It's protocol."
[22:21]	Zeke	"Yes, officer."
[22:21]	Momizi	"And you have your own place at the foot of the mountain, Orange. Please do not freeloading on me again. My guard's payroll is in a sad state as is."
[22:21]	Orange	frowns.
[22:21]	Momizi	stern, unmoving working woman mode!
[22:22]	Orange	Come on~ Help me out~
[22:23]	Shingy	"Anyways, I won't interfere in a lover's quarrel. I'll see you two on my way back!"
[22:23]	Shingy	starts flying again to the shrine.
[22:24]	Orange	hehe... she thinks we're lovers..
[22:24]	Momizi	"Even Aya-san thinks I am, too."
[22:24]	Momizi	orz midair.
[22:24]	Momizi	"I am single! Seriously! I am not into girls!"
[22:25]	Momizi	and the crew accompanies Shingy and Zeke, as accordng to protocol.
[22:25]	Orange	Oh.. I'll come along too then~.
[22:25]	Orange	clings onto Momizi, just to tease her along the way.
[22:26]	Momizi	is in a state of disarray, as her subordinates starts giggling like a giddy schollgirls on a trip.
[22:27]	Zeke	listens to the back and forth and calms down a bit. Casual conversation makes any situation bearable.
[22:28]	Shingy	"Hmm. Do any of you know if the Moriya Shrine does marriages? I'm pretty sure Reimu wouldn't bother with something like that, especially between youkai."
[22:28]	Momizi	"I'm not gonna marry anyoneeeee!"
[22:28]	Momizi	gyaa!
[22:29]	Momizi	[And the group of two grows even larger, as the sun starts to sink behind the mountain range! To be continued in the next session of]
[22:29]	Momizi	[---"Touhouventure!"]
