[x] "Yuyu, let's ask both of them to come with us. Fairies normally would never get to see the Netherworld."
[x] Clue token: Cirno
[x] Clue token: Daiyousei
Cirno: The strongest of Gensokyo still has plenty of weaknesses of
her own. Letty is a huge inspiration to her, and Cirno wants to do
everything she can to impress Letty. She sees her as an older sister,
and is constantly trying to find a way that she can keep Letty up all
year long rather than just in the winter. She also happens to be rather
smart, as far as fairies are normally concerned. Her stubbornness and
huge ego prohibits her the humility to ask for help, however.
Daiyousei: Daiyousei's a very protective girl. She cares greatly
for all other fairies, and will put herself infront of threats to save
them, even if it means being hurt. However, she has low self-esteem,
and she relies on others emotionally, to give her a sense of how she
should act. Alone, without anyone familiar to interact with, she's very
withdrawn and shy, since she is used to relying on other fairie's
judgments on how to act.
"We could ask them both to come with us," you say, looking to
Yuyuko. "They wouldn't normally get to see the netherworld, afterall."
"That's right!" Yuyuko says, rather surprised. "All the more reason."
You clear your throat a bit, and Cirno and Daiyousei look up at you.
"How would the two of you like to see the netherworld?" you ask.
Daiyousei looks to Cirno, who looks back at Daiyousei, and then down at
the statue.
"Can I bring Letty?" she asks, patting the statue.
"Sure, so long as it can be moved." you reply, floating over to the
statue. From up close, you're a bit amazed to find just how much actual
detail there is in the female statue, down to folds in her clothes.
"This is really well done!"
"Of course! Ice sculptures are nothing when you're the strongest!"
Cirno exclaims, fluttering down behind the statue. Now to figure out
how to carry it with you. You look back to Yuyuko.
"Any ideas?" you ask, and Yuyuko flaots forward, several spirits
floating out from nowhere and encircling the ice statue. Effortlessly,
the statue is lifted from the ground, and more spirits appear and wrap
themselves around it. Cirno watches with an impressed look on her face
while Daiyousei stares in amazement.
"That should do it." Yuyuko says, floating into the air. "You ready
to come along now?" she asks the two girls. Cirno flutters up into the
air towards the statue and pokes at one of the spirits, and Daiyousei
tags along, watching intently.
"That's pretty awesome!" Cirno exclaims. Yuyuko flies past you,
statue in tow with Cirno and Daiyousei following behind it. You hear
the two fairies chattering about where they're going, already sounding
a little curious. You catch up to Yuyuko, and she smiles at you as you
approach.
"Hakugyokuro is going to be pretty lively for a while." she says as the two of you ascend into the clouds.
"It'll be something for sure." you reply. The flight continues,
Cirno bragging to Daiyousei about one thing or another, and Daiyousei
playing right up to her ego with compliments. After a while, you
approach the cloud line and pass through it.
"Ah! I can't see!" Cirno complains from behind. Soon enough though, you emerge from the clouds in front of the large door.
"Wo~w!" you hear Daiyousei gasp. "That's such a big door! How come no one's noticed it before?"
"It can't be seen from below the clouds," Yuyuko says, turning
towards the two fairies. "Though a lot of people do know about this
place already."
"I wanna see inside! I wanna see inside!" Cirno cheers. Yuyuko and
you begin to float towards the top of the door with the two fairies and
the ice statue, and cross over. In the process, the dimming light of
evening gives into the pale light of the netherworld. Doesn't look like
much changed while you were gone, though it has darkened a little bit.
In front of you, the huge staircase rises towards the edge of sight.
"That's a lot of stairs..." Daiyousei says with a slight bit of concern, but Cirno claps a hand on her shoulder.
"It's nothing! Just watch!"
Several minutes later, you finally reach the top of the stairs. It
would have taken longer, but Yuyuko had decided she was hungry again
and sped up, leaving everyone else to catch up to her. She stopped at
the top of the stairs though, and you soon find out why as you arrive
to see three girls in matching outfits floating just near the top of
the stairs.
"Ah, you're back!" one says, the blonde in black says. "We came here looking for you but were told you were out."
"Ah, the Prismrivers!" Yuyuko says, placing her hands together.
She's about to continue when Cirno flys up behind her and appears over
her head.
"Wah! It's you guys!" Cirno shouts, causing all three girls to jump
at the same time, though each shows a different emotion. The blonde has
a look of annoyance, the blue haired one looks shocked, and the
brunette looks pleasantly surprised.
"Cirno!" the brunette calls, floating over. She extends her hand,
and Cirno reacts by completing the high five. "It's been a while, eh?"
"I didn't know you were around here!" Cirno states, a big smirk on her face. "I'd have given you another shot to beat me again!"
"I'll have to take you up on that later," the brunette replies,
ruffling Cirno's hair. She reacts by swatting at her hand, and she
withdraws with a laugh. "We've got to talk to Yuyuko."
"Hey! Are you staying around here?" Cirno asks. The brunette gives a nod and gestures to Yuyuko.
"We work for her anyway, so we're here a lot." she replies. Cirno looks absolutely thrilled to hear that, her face lighting up.
"I didn't know there were familiar faces around here! I should have
come along sooner!" Cirno says, looking at the other two girls. They
don't say anything to her though, they simply nod to her presence.
"Well, we need to talk to Yuyuko now, so if you don't mind-" the
blonde begins, only to get cut off by Yuyuko, who has a rather odd
serious look on her face.
"Not right now Lunasa. I'm hungry." she states, rather plainly. The
blonde simply sighs and rubs her forehead, and the other two laugh. "We
can talk over food."
Yuyuko floats past you with the ice sculpture in tow, and Cirno
flys off, with Daiyousei and the brunette following her, picking up
some conversation. You start to follow along, when the blonde girl,
Lunasa, calls your attention.
"Who are you?" she asks, looking you over. Right, you forgot about that part. Question is, how do you answer.
