Naz is covering the bar because she knows her gems, and it keeps the income flowing into my place as well as the alcohol flowing into the oni. I got the bridge princess to volunteer at the clinic temporarily, but I doubt she'll be happy if she's there for very long."

>Byakuren nods. "Yes. Shou is on her way there now. I expect I'll have to send someone to follow her, soon."

Beyond that, though, I'm not sure where else to visit. I talked to Reimu and she's running around now too. I've check on the kappa and Maribel since she was with them. I have an appointment with Sanae later, then the teacher's friend after that so she can get me to the rabbit house. Don't think Bhava-Agra knows anything, I met Tenshi and some others and they were oblivious to the problem until I said something. Is there anyone else around worth looking into?"

>"Hmm," says Byakuren. "There may be some value in checking whether other places connected to Gensokyo have been affected. I don't believe Higan deals with proper money, but the Netherworld may. Makai almost certainly does, but i wouldn't recommend visiting there at all."

>Byakuren shakes her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't think they have any dealings with us. I am reasonably sure that they aren't in town right now. If I see either of them, would you like me to let them know you are looking for them?"

>Byakuren nods. "As you like. I'm not sure how to get to Makai, I'm afraid. It's not quite a place I want to see again for some time, you understand. You are correct for Higan, the road will eventually take you close to it. As for Hakugyokurou, I believe the entrance is to the mountains in the northwest."

>She chuckles. "Well, I suppose that club is a good word for it. However business-like things tend to start, it always seems to end with tea and card games. Patchouli organized the circle last fall, and invited myself, Alice, Eirin, Marisa, and the two magicians from the outside world. Though with things as they are, I wouldn't be surprised if not everyone shows up."

Hmm. I think I'm voting for northward first, actually,n simce those were Byak's suggestions. However I would not object to Renko's followed by the SDM.

Doublepost because it's basically impossible to phone edit.

I feel as though I'm starting to dominate the game again, which I don't want to do. I would like to see inputs or ideas from people whenever they arise. The reason I post so much is kust to keep the story going. This is now the 7th adventure in this timeline, and it's been a blast to see play out. So please don't think I'm posting a lot because I want to dominate the game - it's necause I want the story to continue.

I have no objections to the ideas presented, as, currently, we are in information-gathering mode, and anywhere new is new information. Once there's a problem that can be solved with available resources, I'll be much more vocal.
