> Well, actually...
> Can we see any sort of mansion to the south from here?

>You can't see much of anything to the south, there are quite a few trees in the way. Things may be different from the air.

> Take to the air and look to the south for a mansion.

>You take to the air,  rising up over the tree line. In the distance, to the south, you can see a fairly sizable lake. Beyond that, you can see a walled manor with architecture unlike any you've seen before, even from this far away.

> That must be it! Head to that mansion.

>You make your way toward the mansion! As you fly over the treetops, you note a couple other buildings in the forest; small homes by the looks of them. Then you pgress over the lake, where you notice another house near its eastern shore, and decent-sized gathering of faeries on the western shore.
>Landing near the mansion, you find yourself staring at its curiously angular roofs, and the wings stretching up several stories; you had read that architecture had advanced by some degree since you went to sleep, but all the pictures of such you have seen have been of more familiar eastern structures. This one, however, is like nothing you've seen before. It is oddly simple at a glance, but you decent more and more intricacies as you look at it. A wall of unfamiliar dull red stone runs along the perimeter of the grounds, making a neat rectangle, with only one gate made of some kind of black metal. Standing at it is a lone guardswoman in green and white, with long red hair.
>"Hey there!" she calls out as you approach. "Got some business here?"

>"Hello there. I have a message from Keine Kamishirasawa, but I was also thinking I might have a look at the mansion while I was here, if that's alright with you."
>"She says she will be a little late today."

>You tell her what Keine asked you to. She nods. "Okay, I'll be sure that gets passed on. The Young Mistress ought to be happy to have extra time to herself."|
>"So, what do you want in for?"

>"I have never visited here before, and I was just thinking I might as well have a look around and meet the residents while I'm here. The mansion itself interests me as well, I have not seen one constructed in this style before."

>The sword that was your former self has been stolen! All you know is that your two followers were last seen with a wrapped bundle that seemed to be long and thin enough for it.
>Momma Jong
>Rumor has it there will be a mahjong tournament soon., wherein the grand prize will be some obscure bit of onmyoudo lore. One of the original reasons you've been out and about is to look into this.
>"Wait, say that name again?" says the guard, as she fishes a bit of paper out of pants pocket.

>The maid gives her a look, then nods to you. "Come with me, please."
>As you follow her down the path, you note that there seems to be a number of stone statues on the eastern grounds, while the western grounds seems to be home to a fountain, which is currently in disuse. "Mistress would like to know if you would prefer to wait with some light snacks," says the maid, "or if you would like to explore a part of the mansion while she prepares?"
