Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: part 2wo

> "Yeah, I ain't getting involved in that. I'm only here to make matches."
> Shrink down and hide inside Cirno's open pocket.

> You shrink down and fly into Cirno's pocket. It conceals you well.
> As Sakuya gets closer, she does a slight wave to Sanae.

[Kilgamayan]

> Wait for it...

[Neovereign]

> Wait for it...

> You continue waiting, as you've been doing for most of this day.
> Sakuya walks to Sanae.
> "Good afternoon Sanae."
> "Hey Sakuya. Running an errand for Remilia?" Sanae asks.
> "Yes. I assume you're doing the same for your goddesses?"
> "No, we're looking for Kogasa."
> "Because Kogasa loves-mrmph" Sanae covers Lily's mouth.

[Kilgamayan]

> Fly out of Cirno's pocket and return to normal size.
> "Hi Sakuya!"

[Neovereign]

> Fly out of Cirno's pocket and return to normal size.
> "Hi Sakuya!"

> You fly out from Cirno's pocket, growing to normal size.
> You think you see Sakuya flinch in a strange way.
> "Oh, it's you. Daiyousei, I believe. That's an interesting thing you did just there... Are you still considering becoming a maid?"
>_

[Kilgamayan]

I have no preference in that regard and wasn't around when it was a thing anyway. I'll let people who are around for that and have an interest in it one way or the other decide.

EDIT: Alternatively, we can let that stew for a bit, while the plot of the immediate issue advances.

> "Uh...maybe? We kinda need to find Kogasa right now..."

[Neovereign]

> "Uh...maybe? We kinda need to find Kogasa right now..."

> "Hm." Sakuya nods.
> "Is Reimu still going on about the whole 'kidnapping humans' thing?" Sanae asks.
> "Yes. Though I'm pretty sure she'll give up on this wild chase after a while. Also, I'm curious, why do you need to find Kogasa?"
> "I just need to, uh, talk to her" Sanae answers.
> "Ah. I'll tell her you were looking for her if I do see her anytime."
> Sakuya starts to continue towards the village.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Bye Sakuya!"
> Look to Sanae.
> "So where do we look?"

[Neovereign]

> "Bye Sakuya!"

> "Don't forget to come by if you're interested." Sakuya waves.

> Look to Sanae.
> "So where do we look?"

> "I guess we start by asking others if they've seen her." Sanae says. "Kogasa is somewhat popular with the kids here, so we should ask them."
> "Why not the adults? They actually pay attention to you." Cirno recommends.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Why not both?"

[Neovereign]

> "Why not both?"

> "Of course, that's faster..." Sanae says. "I guess we should split up as well. We'd be wasting time if we went around as a group."
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Hmm... Now the question is how we split up...

[Neovereign]

>Hmm... Now the question is how we split up...

> You ponder how your group should split up.

> You could go with Cirno alone...
> You could accompany Sanae and try to coax her into using a miracle to make you even bigger.
> You and Lily could look for Kogasa and maybe discuss matchmaking along the way.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Whelp, going with anyone but Cirno might cause her to complain... But this could also be a good opportunity to work on one of our goals (bigness or matchmaking)... So what do you guys think?

[Kilgamayan]

I think it wouldn't be hard to convince Cirno to let us go with Sanae by fluffing her ego.

That being said, I don't have a problem not going with Sanae. Delving further into Operating Biggie Smalls will be a lot easier if/when we find Kogasa.

[Monarda]

Boy, you two really want to have a more powerful bigness and smallness power (Oh no! I am talking like Daiyousei now :V)

I'm neutral over all options, can't decide what is better.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Well, Kilga does, I'm actually more for improving our shipping matchmaking skills. Since we probably won't have an opportunity to chat with Lily alone for a while...

[Kilgamayan]

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. I also don't think either will really have an impact on the advancement of the game, though - bigness/smallness might be more practically applicable in the right circumstances, but it's not a major "advantage" - so really this is a choice for fun as far as I'm concerned.

My vote is genetically for Sanny, but it's not as though I'm super-impassioned about it. (I would probably vote against a romantic pursuit of Cirno, since it was stated that fairies Don't Do That.)

[Searinox119]

//Uh, we only got the whole 'change bigness/smallness' thing because Sanae's miracles went wrong, right? (And got us and her into trouble with Reimu, too...) Even if we convince Sanae to put more miracles onto us, would it really go the same way? And even if it would, it got us into... erm... that place in the bamboo forest last time, and apparently got us stuck there for a while. Wouldn't Reimu get suspicious when she hears that we are there again with the exact same thing?

//We can already go from "a bit bigger than someone's hand" to "a bit taller than a bamboo forest", anyway. Would we need to be bigger than that? Sure, it'd be really cool to be as tall as a mountain, but wouldn't Reimu get annoyed if we do that? I mean, mountain-sized fairies are probably not the most common thing in Gensokyo, right?.. though, it is Gensokyo, so...

>Are mountain-sized fairies a common thing in Gensokyo?

//Anyway, perhaps it's better to leave the choice to Cirno? She's the leader, after all.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

since it was stated that fairies Don't Do That.

//Actually, what was actually said was:

>Fairies don't know much about love and usually don't care for it either, since they're born from nature.

//It doesn't necessarily mean all fairies don't care for it, take Lily for example.
//Of course, I agree with you that even though the option is open, a romantic pursuit with Cirno would probably lead to a dead end, since if we ever tried that there is a 90% chance she won't reciprocate because she's too stupid to get the message lol. I mean, we could try if we really wanted to... But like I said, it probably won't make a difference.

//Besides, when was it ever stated that we would try to pursue a relationship with Cirno?

[Kilgamayan]

Searinox: Valid concerns, definitely, but none are things I hadn't already considered. I think Sanae would try to alter her approach the second time around now that she has a better idea of what she's doing and how it all works. I also think we can get away with making Reimu think we could always get that big and/or it's a time-lapsed side effect. There are a few ways to explain our further growth away.

With regards to needing it, we certainly don't need it, which is why I said it was deciding on fun. We don't need to make more matches, either, but it could be a fun romp, so it's worth considering.

Nazgul: There was some non-verbal doki-doki'ing from the player base earlier in the game, and the way the Cirno option was phrased implies potential romantic pursuit.

[Monarda]

So we're better waiting to see if Cirno-chan will try to approach us that way than trying ourselves ( which might take from a day to 1 century).

[Neovereign]

>Are mountain-sized fairies a common thing in Gensokyo?

> No. It would be rare to see a fairy as tall as or taller than an adult human.

[Monarda]

>Are we the tallest fairy that we know of ?

[Neovereign]

>Are we the tallest fairy that we know of ?

> You are, even before growing.

[Hello Purvis]

I'm a decider.

>Let's follow Sanae.

[Neovereign]

>Let's follow Sanae.

> You let the group know that you'll be with Sanae.
> "I'll go with Cirno then." Lily says. "So who's asking who?"
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well, adults are more likely to listen to Sanae, so I guess you guys ask the children?"

[Neovereign]

>"Well, adults are more likely to listen to Sanae, so I guess you guys ask the children?"

> "Okay." Cirno says.
> "You and Sanae walk into the village, while Lily and Cirno start heading for where the kids are playing.

[Kilgamayan]

> "So who do we ask first?"
