Reimu Quest (Part 6)

[O4rfish]

Which means we need that aburaage.

[Sect]

Fair enough. And cut out the sesquipedalian loquaciousness: Reimu isn't unintelligent, but she's not the kind to unnecessarily show off eruditeness, especially when she doesn't have to.

> "Well, I'll keep it in mind. Anything new here? I noticed it's getting even colder."

[O4rfish]

I realize that, but labyrinthian only has five syllables, and I couldn't think of a better word.

[Sect]

Try "twisty".

[日巫子]

> "Well, I'll keep it in mind. Anything new here? I noticed it's getting even colder."

> "Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, as far as I can tell," says Satori.

[Sect]

> "Ah. By the way, Rin needs earholes cut into her cap."

[日巫子]

> "Ah. By the way, Rin needs earholes cut into her cap."

> "Thank you for letting me know, I'll take care of that later.  By the way, I saw Koishi in the kitchen a few hours ago, so she made it back alright."

> _

[O4rfish]

>"Good.  I'll have to go thank Koishi for going there with me. I really hope they got along okay."

[日巫子]

>"Good.  I'll have to go thank Koishi for going there with me. I really hope they got along okay."

> "Hopefully."  Satori smiles a bit.

[Sect]

> "Well, I'm sorry I won't be here for long: I gotta meet a witch about a fox."
> Assuming she doesn't get sidetracked looking for tofu.

[日巫子]

> "Well, I'm sorry I won't be here for long: I gotta meet a witch about a fox."
> Assuming she doesn't get sidetracked looking for tofu.

> "That's fine.  You're busy, after all."
> She pauses.  "I'm sorry I don't have any tofu, or I'd give you some."

[Sect]

> "Eh, no worries. You guys should probably keep an eye on your pantry anyways."

[日巫子]

> "Eh, no worries. You guys should probably keep an eye on your pantry anyways."

> "True.  I have more mouths to feed than you do," Satori notes.

> _

[O4rfish]

>"Oh really? I knew you had more eyes, but mouths too? I'll have to search you thoroughly for them ..."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oh really? I knew you had more eyes, but mouths too? I'll have to search you thoroughly for them ..."

I'm on the fence about this one...It sounds sort of stupid, even with a mindreader on hand.

[Hello Purvis]

Too flirty for Reimu. At least at this point. Later on, it might be  good one.

>Don't say that. Instead say, "I was originally intending to stay here tonight, but...I dunno when I'll be back."

[日巫子]

>Don't say that. Instead say, "I was originally intending to stay here tonight, but...I dunno when I'll be back."

> "That's understandable.  You've been having trouble finding leads," says Satori.

[Hello Purvis]

>Give her a hug. "I'll try to keep you in the loop, okay?"

[日巫子]

>Give her a hug. "I'll try to keep you in the loop, okay?"

> Satori returns your hug.  "Got it.  Be careful out there."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Depart. Let's head back for the shrine.

[日巫子]

>Depart. Let's head back for the shrine.

> You leave Satori to her book, and backtrack out of the mansion.  Once out, you take to the air and fly over the Ancient City.  Parsee is still sweeping the bridge when you fly over it, but you don't see the tsurube-otoshi anywhere on your way out of the main tunnel.  You do notice, however, that significant chunks of ice have been removed from the walls.
> You then fly over the forest and back to your shrine.  You see that some lights are still on in the windows.

> _

[Sect]

> Hopefully it's Marisa back earlier than expected. Fly on in like we own th- wait, we do.

[日巫子]

> Hopefully it's Marisa back earlier than expected. Fly on in like we own th- wait, we do.

> You float on into your house through the back door, into the kitchen.  The lights are off in here.  You hope it's Marisa who turned the lights on in the other room.

> _

[Sect]

> Check the kitchen real quick to see if tofu's been brought back.
> Enter the lit room.

[日巫子]

> Check the kitchen real quick to see if tofu's been brought back.
> Enter the lit room.

> You check the fridge.  The only tofu in there is that sad little block Suika showed you earlier in the night.
> You go down the hall and into the living room.  Suika is asleep on the floor, holding her gourd behind her head like a pillow.  She must have fallen asleep before she could turn out the lights.

> _

[Sect]

> Shake our head and turn off the lights.
> No real sense in going to the Crater Lake this late at night: we can barely see in the water as it is. How long has it been since we started our nap?

[日巫子]

> Shake our head and turn off the lights.
> No real sense in going to the Crater Lake this late at night: we can barely see in the water as it is. How long has it been since we started our nap?

> You flip the light switch, allowing Suika to dream on in comforting darkness.
> The lake Tojiko mentioned is still a place you need to go, but you decide to save that for when it's light out.
> You believe you took your nap a few hours ago.

> _

[Sect]

> ... Ah, heck. Since we didn't quite clarify to Marisa when we should meet up again, let's head Youkai Mountain-wards. Maybe we'll bump into her on the way over.

[日巫子]

> ... Ah, heck. Since we didn't quite clarify to Marisa when we should meet up again, let's head Youkai Mountain-wards. Maybe we'll bump into her on the way over.

> You really should have planned that better.
> You leave the shrine, take to the skies, and start flying towards Youkai Mountain.  Time passes, and the mountain grows steadily closer, but there is no sign of Marisa in the skies around here.

[Hello Purvis]

If we do proceed, I think we should get Suwako to have a look at our soul, and then Sanae's. It may be useful to compare them.
