  1. [14:53:56] <GMingPenguin> When last we left our wondrous and silly friends, they had just defeated the Warei matriarch and patriarch, and had reclaimed the figurines of Yukari and Reimu. A wee bit more tham macguffins these figures be, and currently, the party be floating in the eerily empty gap dimension, without a thousand closed eyes failing to watch them.
  2. [14:54:53] * Ginkyo hangs limply in the purple space, wondering what's going to happen
  3. [14:57:49] <@Haiiro-Honoo> The Haiiro eventually recovers from her bout of shame. And when you say 'without', do you mean they're being watched from every concievable direction right now?
  4. [14:57:59] * Serena looks at the figures... "Does anyone know how to make them people again?"
  5. [14:58:27] * GMingPenguin meant "with," the "out" must have snuck in like a trio of fairies to cause issues.
  6. [14:58:58] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...Um...well, I can figure it out! I hope."
  7. [14:59:26] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "Not in here, though. Definitely not in here."
  8. [15:00:01] <Serena> "Then lets move. (Between just Us and you, this place gives Us the willies.)."
  9. [15:00:41] <@Haiiro-Honoo> Is there anything left to investigate? And if not, is the way in still open?
  10. [15:01:47] <GMingPenguin> The opening to the real fantastic world is still open, a little ways above your heads. No, it is not dramatically closing in a slow manner.
  11. [15:01:48] * Ginkyo licks the purple space
  12. [15:01:57] <Ginkyo> "No, nothing left to investigate. Still tastes like air."
  13. [15:03:47] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...Alright! We're getting out of here. A shame we couldn't beat up a god or something." Or get beat up by one. Either or. To the exit!
  14. [15:03:50] <GMingPenguin> And what stale air it is. Absolutely devoid of flavor.
  15. [15:05:06] * Serena starts floating in that direction.
  16. [15:06:15] <GMingPenguin> The exit plots you out in the shrine atop the mansion. Once the last of the group leaves the gap dimension, the portal snaps shut, leaving nothing but a one dimensional line floating in space with purple ribbons tied at either end.
  17. [15:06:29] <GMingPenguin> It hums slightly, were anyone to put their ear close and listen.
  18. [15:07:30] * Ginkyo lucks the purple line
  19. [15:07:33] <Ginkyo> *licks
  20. [15:07:47] <Ginkyo> "Why does nothing taste delicious in this stupid house?"
  21. [15:07:51] <Serena> "eeeewww, you don't know where thats been."
  22. [15:08:21] <Ginkyo> Daimofujin is sitting around, a small pile of dried out mochi offerings in front of him.
  23. [15:08:36] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...OK, so, first thing's first. Fixing these two might take a while solely based on figuring out what we're supposed to actually do, so I suppose we should go back to the shrine and tell everyone 'we did it'."
  24. [15:09:48] <Ginkyo> Daimofujin: "We in the shrine though."
  25. [15:09:56] <Ginkyo> Daimofujin has another mochi ball
  26. [15:10:09] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...The other shrine."
  27. [15:10:18] <Serena> "The Moriya shrine?"
  28. [15:10:24] * Ginkyo goes over to scarf up some of the offerings, piety gone
  29. [15:10:34] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "You know what, we're blowing up this shrine."
  30. [15:10:50] <GMingPenguin> he only offerings are the ones Daimofujin has apparently managed to scrounge up out of thin air.
  31. [15:11:37] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "Honoo! Burn it. Pretty sure fire is a good purifier. ...Try not to burn down the mansion on accident."
  32. [15:12:27] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...You know, after we get out of it."
  33. [15:12:34] <Ginkyo> "Burh is fur gohds yu gon geht puhnifed [But it's for the gods! You're going to get punished.]"
  34. [15:12:37] <GMingPenguin> A wood and paper shrine should burn easily, a stone mansion not so much (but were any of the fire to get inside, ooh boy, the carpeting and furniture would go up then the stone would crack from the heat...)
  35. [15:12:55] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "And then we can go to the HAKUREI Shrine."
  36. [15:14:04] <@Haiiro-Honoo> Haiiro completely fails to understand what Ginkyo just said. Maybe she just doesn't like this place. And you know damn well Honoo would make it as much 'on fire' as it could possibly be even if it isn't completely burndownable.
  37. [15:14:36] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "So what are we waiting for? Getting trapped in a burning building on purpose isn't healthy."
  38. [15:14:57] <@Haiiro-Honoo> The pair leave the shrine! Well, Honoo waits by the door inside.
  39. [15:15:06] <@Haiiro-Honoo> Or whatever it is.
  40. [15:15:18] <GMingPenguin> There's a door.
  41. [15:15:28] <@Haiiro-Honoo> OK, door then.
  42. [15:15:39] <@Haiiro-Honoo> The door Haiiro leaves out of, even!
  43. [15:16:00] * Ginkyo and Daimofujin stumble out with the offerings tray
  44. [15:16:32] <GMingPenguin> A sliding door is still a door.
  45. [15:16:33] * Serena leaves the pre-bonfire. "So you're going to tell people the day is svaed and then try to fake some magic to set them free?" Serena isn't really on board with the plan, but has no solution of her own.
  46. [15:18:00] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "Yep, that's the plan! ...Not fake it, though. Make it. Or at least figure out what I'm supposed to do."
  47. [15:18:41] <GMingPenguin> "They are savedish, you know," Kireigou points out as he and Motochi exit shortly before Honoo ignite.
  48. [15:18:48] * Ginkyo shapeshifts into Player 2 Reimu and begins offering the offerings to the shrine god before its burnt down, hoping this display of piety won't end up in karmic bitchslap later for her
  49. [15:20:20] <@Haiiro-Honoo> The Honoo sets the inside on as much fire as she can muster! Once it's done, she goes outside to singe everything that can be singed on the outside. Even the offerings. Everything must go!
  50. [15:22:21] <GMingPenguin> Almost as if it's a several hundred year old building of paper and wood, the shrine ignites instantly. It all but explodes--it isn't gunpowder after all--but in a few moments, it is nothing but a collapsed heap. Sort of like a bonfire on the beach, if you replaced the ocean with Gensokyo and the sand with a mansion.
  51. [15:23:46] <@Haiiro-Honoo> The Haiiro nods with approval. "There. That felt satisfying! OK, to the Hakurei Shrine!"
  52. [15:25:01] <GMingPenguin> Motochi pauses.
  53. [15:25:34] * Serena doesn't notice him pause and continues bumbling through the air
  54. [15:25:53] <@Haiiro-Honoo> Haiiro and Honoo do not. Given a few moments, they might even notice!
  55. [15:25:58] <GMingPenguin> "I'm of a family exiled from the Hakurei shrine, and up until just now was an enemy of hers. I don't think it's smart for me to visit."
  56. [15:26:13] <GMingPenguin> "Even if she is currently encapsulated..."
  57. [15:27:22] * Ginkyo recovers her new robes, discarded when she turned into a fox
  58. [15:27:32] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...OK, point. The god might actually still be there, and it might not like you."
  59. [15:27:36] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...whoever it is."
  60. [15:27:44] <Ginkyo> "So what do we do at the Hakurei shrine?"
  61. [15:27:45] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...wait, do you know who it is?"
  62. [15:27:55] * Ginkyo 's ears perk up
  63. [15:28:06] <Ginkyo> Daimofujin laments the loss of his mochi
  64. [15:28:08] <@Haiiro-Honoo> Haiiro (and thus, Honoo) stop completely to ask this!
  65. [15:30:33] <GMingPenguin> "...doesn't everyone know?"
  66. [15:30:54] * Ginkyo gives a shake of her head
  67. [15:32:04] <@Haiiro-Honoo> No one knows. I'm not even sure if Reimu knows, though we certainly can't ask her now.
  68. [15:32:15] <@Haiiro-Honoo> (Those are in " marks, derp)
  69. [15:32:38] <GMingPenguin> He blinks rapidly, "wait, seriously, not even Reimu knows?"
  70. [15:33:15] <Ginkyo> "No one in Gensokyo, from the Hakurei shrine maiden to the oldest youkai in Gensokyo. Does the Outside know?"
  71. [15:34:56] <Serena> "Reimu might know. We've never heard her invoke him by name."
  72. [15:35:26] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "For all we know, it's pretty much the same as forgetting."
  73. [15:35:50] <Ginkyo> "Isn't that one of Gensokyo's legends? That the Hakurei, slayer of any and all youkai, doesn't even know the name of the god she serves?"
  74. [15:35:50] <Ginkyo> "Isn't that one of Gensokyo's legends? That the Hakurei, slayer of any and all youkai, doesn't even know the name of the god she serves?"
  75. [15:36:39] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "Huh. My memory must be a bit shaken. Or maybe I've been delving into the theories too much."
  76. [15:36:45] <GMingPenguin> "That, or this is part of its plan. From the storie I was told, that god liked to form intricate plans that took years to come to fruition, so perhaps being silent is part of its plan . . . and if so, I won't mess it up by spreading their name. For sometimes a god's name has great power."
  77. [15:37:21] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "Like 'maybe she worships herself, and does so in an attempt to become a god' or something like that."
  78. [15:38:15] <@Haiiro-Honoo> "...Apparently that's not true, though. Hrm. Oh well." If only she could drag a Satori in the area.
  79. [15:39:44] <@Haiiro-Honoo> The pair eventually get moving again.
  80. [15:40:08] <GMingPenguin> "I'll just stay here and make sure my sister doesn't get into trouble. Though I think your . . . seal took care of that."
  81. [15:42:21] * Ginkyo holds out a piece of talisman paper to Motochi
  82. [15:42:51] <GMingPenguin> "What is this?"
  83. [15:42:55] <Ginkyo> "Can you write it down and fold it up so as we can't see it? Perhaps it may help the Hakurei and gap youkai once we get to their shrine."
  84. [15:43:02] <Ginkyo> "The name of the Hakurei god."
  85. [15:44:36] <GMingPenguin> Motochi accepts the paper and an ink pen and flourishes a few strokes onto the paper. He flaps it twice so that it won't smear, then folds the paper into a crane shape.
  86. [15:46:03] * Aeros ([email protected]) has joined #Gensokyo
  87. [15:46:25] * Aerosphone ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com ))
  88. [15:47:05] * Aeros is now known as Anegumo
  89. [15:47:16] * Ginkyo takes the crane-god-thing back gently, unsure if it's going to start flying on its own
  90. [15:48:47] <GMingPenguin> It remains perfectly inanimate.
