>"...Yeesh."
>Pretty, though.
>"Hey! Fox!"

> You can't help but think about how majestic this fox is. You call out to it, and it looks up from the now-empty plate.
> It--no, she--opens her jaws slightly, and speaks despite not making any more movements. It's more like the words just appear in your head, spoken in a voice other than your own.
> 'Greetings. I apologize for not coming sooner.'
> "I'm sorry, too! Now I have to deal with the Moriyas, ze," Marisa half-shouts to her.

>"Let's go inside and talk."

> The fox pads over and bends her head to sniff at you and Marisa. Then, she shifts and becomes smaller and smaller, until she has assumed the form of a taller-than-average human. The only thing that indicates otherwise is the fact that she hasn't bothered to hide her tails. She reaches into her dress pocket, takes out a hat, and puts it on her head to obscure her ears. It's Ran.
> "I get the feeling I know what you want to talk about," she says with a weary sigh.

> You and Ran walk back to the porch.
> "Let me sit down first." Ran takes a seat on the porch next to Marisa.
> "Alright. It all started for me a few days ago, when I was doing my routine patrols," she begins. "All of a sudden, I felt a huge tear in the Boundary. Shortly afterwards, it started pouring rain. I rushed back to Mayohiga to alert Lady Yukari, but got caught up the waters. Afterwards, I spent time redirecting panicking youkai away from the Boundary as I made my way back home. By the time I got there, however, Lady Yukari was gone."

> "About a day ago," Ran says. "The last time I saw her was before I left for patrol that afternoon, and she said she was getting ready to go over to your place. Did you see her at all?"

> Marisa leans forward. "So where is she?"

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #318 on:** February 07, 2014, 01:07:33 AM »

>"Ran, how much do you know about gaps? Can you tell us about that crack in the sky?"

> "As much as you should know already. But to refresh, gaps are holes in reality. Creating them requires innate ability and cannot be learned. As for the crack in the sky--"
> Ran raises her eyebrows. "Why, that's...surely you haven't realized it yourself? I'm sure there are other people who'd recognize it immediately. The sky isn't torn, that's the Boundary."

>"And how to do we find her?"

> Ran shrugs. "I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but Yukari made a one-time-use device that creates a single gap. It was created for me to use in a worst-case scenario. It took hundreds of years for her to make."
> "And you're just telling us this like it's nothing, ze? How do you know I won't go around telling everyone else about it?"
> "Well, the situation right now is pretty dire. And I won't give you the chance to do that."

> Ran smiles a bit at that. "I'll add that to my to-do list, then."
> "If I start preparations tonight or after the sun comes up, then it should be ready by the day after tomorrow."
> You ask her what the plan is, and if she's seen her own shikigami.
> "I haven't had the time to find Chen, unfortunately. I'd like to just summon her and send her home already."
> At the mention of Mayohiga, Ran's hat twitches. "You were at our house?"

> "It's meant to be a two-way portal: you can enter and leave it as if you're going in and out of a house. It can only be closed manually, and that's it. So, theoretically it could last for five minutes or five days if you really wanted it to."
> "And what if someone tries to close it and trap us inside?" Marisa questions.
> "They shouldn't be able to. And even if they did, Lady Yukari would surely send you back herself."
