>You sip the tea.
>It is the perfect temperature. Kazuo makes some damn good tea, you wished you made tea this good.
>Mmmm~ So good~
>Kazuo smiles warmly at you. Whe you notice he asks you a question.
>"Would you like something to eat?"

>"Yes, I'd like some snacks to go along with this tea. Anyway, thanks."

>Kazuo gets up.
>"What would you like? I don't really have much..." He laughs weakly.

>"Well, maybe a few biscuits would go well."
>Sit comfortably on the bed.
>Check strength if capable of getting off the bed.

>"Okay, I'll be right back" Kazuo says as he departs for the kitchen.
>You make yourself comfy on the bed and gaze around. You spot some scrolls and newspapers in one corner of the room. In another you see some miscellaneous items, such as charms, talismans, and sutras. The place is dim and not decorated well, but you assume that's to be excepted of a cave.
>Considering you just dashed into the bathroom to change, you likely can get up off the bed.
>After a bit Kazuo returns with a plate of cookies.
>"Here you go" He says with a smile as he sets the platter down beside the tea.
>"So where are you from?" He asks politely.

GuardianTempest · « **Reply #35 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:54:15 AM »

>Remember and give him an honest answer.
>Take a cookie and bite it, how long was it since you last ate?

Sonae · « **Reply #36 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:29:48 PM »

>"I'm from a town called Anan" You answer as you pick up a cookie and munch on it.
>Kazuo looks confused. "Anan? Where's that?" He asked.
>You stop eating your cookie and look at him. "It's in Nagano Prefecture" You answer slowly.
>Kazuo still looks confused. Maybe he's never heard of it. Wait, how is that possible? You're still in Japan right?

> "...this is Japan right?"

Sonae · « **Reply #38 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:30:49 PM »

>Kazuo looks confused fo a minute. He's only a human, his memory doesn't go back too far.
>"I'm not sure...I've heard the name before but..." He ponders for a moment but shakes his head solemnly. It seems he doesn't know.
>If this place isn't Japan or Nagano, where is it?

Kasu · « **Reply #39 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:36:31 PM »

> "Er... If this isn't Japan then where exactly am I?"

Sonae · « **Reply #40 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:52:51 PM »

>Kazuo looks at you oddly, but not in a confused way.
>"This is Gensokyo" He says as if it were common knowledge

BT · « **Reply #41 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:55:04 PM »

> "Gen..sok..yo..?"
> Wear a puzzled expression. "This is the first time I heard that name."

Sonae · « **Reply #42 on:** September 23, 2011, 01:26:59 AM »

>Kazuo looks at you strangely then sighs.
>"I guess this means I need to take you to the village" He says as he stands up. He stops and thinks for a moment. "Hm, maybe we'll visit Sara first..."
>He grabs a few things and gets ready to head out. He turns to you. "You ready to go?"

Kasu · « **Reply #43 on:** September 23, 2011, 01:32:50 AM »

> Test limbs and motor skills.
> If everything's a-ok, head out.

Sonae · « **Reply #44 on:** September 23, 2011, 01:52:04 AM »

>As you two exit the cave, you're eyes are assaulted by the bright sun.
>You cover your eyes till they adjust and follow Kazuo up a slender path around the mountain Wait was the village up here?
>As you look out over the landscape you see many trees. Way too many to count. It's a sea of deep green.
>As you move your gaze over slightly, you're vision is drawn to a large majestic looking mountain in the distance. It's huge! Even larger than Mount Fuji! Would Kazuo know about it?

BT · « **Reply #45 on:** September 23, 2011, 01:31:02 PM »

>"Ooh, that's a big mountain. It must be the biggest I've ever seen."

Sonae · « **Reply #46 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:06:17 PM »

>Kazuo turns his head and looks back at you with his typical warm smile.
>"That's Youkai Mountain. As you can probably guess from the name, alot of Youkai live there" He says redundantly. "The Kappa and Tengu live there too"
>Something flashes in your mind.
>Memories of the long past times.

You can feel a cool breeze blowing against your face.
You slowly open your eyes and gaze out at the vast scenery.
The mountains and valleys are painted green with the coming of summer.
The blue sky is reflected off the water beautifully.
In the distance you can see a large field of yellow.
You inhale deeply. The fresh air is sucked into your lungs, then the byproduct expelled.
You look down at the village.
A peaceful place.
A world of Humans.

>You're brought out of your daze by Kazuo, who is shaking you.
>"Ah, thank god you're okay" He says with a sigh of relief. "I thought you were going to pass out again there..."
>After regaining his composure, he looks at you and smiles.
>"The entrance to Makai is just a little further" With that he turns and starts heading up the path. You don't get a chance to tell him about what you saw.

BT · « **Reply #47 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:23:19 PM »

> Memories? What memories?

Sonae · « **Reply #48 on:** September 23, 2011, 09:37:17 PM »

>As you silently catch up to Kazuo, you think deeply about what you had just seen.
>Just now...that was...
>A word pops into your head.
>Home.
>You breathe the word silently.
>Kazuo doesn't take notice and the two of you continue up the trail.

>After a few minutes a large cave comes into view. You gaze into the darkness of the maw. You feel something strange. That cave...it's no ordinary cave...
>As you two approach you can see someone standing next to the cave. It appears to be a woman dressed in red and white.

XinXin · « **Reply #49 on:** September 24, 2011, 06:39:24 AM »

>Ask who the woman in red and white is.

Sonae · « **Reply #50 on:** September 24, 2011, 06:49:40 AM »

>"Ah," Kazuo says as he looks towards you with a smile. "That's Sara, the gatekeeper of Makai" He turns his attention back to Sara and shouts to her.
>"Sara! Good Morning!"
>The woman reacts and turns her gaze in your direction. She hasn't noticed you yet though, as you are behind Kazuo.
>"Ah it's Kazuo" She says dully.
>Kazuo runs over to her to begin chatting with her, You approach slowly.
>As you get closer you see that she has pink hair , Huh....well you don't see that every day.... You think to yourself.
>As you get closer you begin to feel something strange from the woman.

GuardianTempest · « **Reply #51 on:** September 24, 2011, 07:23:48 AM »

>Introduce yourself to Sara.
>Keep your composure.

Sonae · « **Reply #52 on:** September 24, 2011, 03:45:51 PM »

>Soon enough Kazuo is right beside her. He's smiling happily.
>"How have you been Sara? Are things going well?" He asks her.
>Sara doesn't change her expression too much. Her arms are folded infront of her and she's leaning against the wall. Content would be the best word to describe her right now.
>"I've been fine. Same old same old." She says somewhat bluntly.
>"The residents are behaving I take it?"
>"Eh, more or less. There hasn't really been any issues since last spring"
>"That's good" Kazuo says with a smile. You're now just a little ways away from the two. Kazuo turns his gaze to you.
>"Hey Sara, I brought someone along with me today" Kazuo says cheerfully.
>Sara blinks and turns her gaze towards you.
>"I found her passed out near here so I took her in and treated her wounds"
>You shift slightly and look at Sara.
>"It's nice to meet you miss Sara" You say softly with a bow.
>However it doesn't seem Sara greets you just as kindly.
>She moves into a pose that suggests shes ready to fight. She's glaring at you and clenching her teeth. Well, this didn't go quite as smoothly as you'd hoped for.

Kasu · « **Reply #53 on:** September 25, 2011, 09:32:09 PM »

> "E-eh?"
> Watch Sara.

Sonae · « **Reply #54 on:** September 26, 2011, 01:16:42 AM »

>Sara glares as you, ready to tackle you at any moment.
>"Who and what the fuck are you" The hostility in her voice like a dagger to your ears.
>Kazuo is surprised by Sara's behavior "Sara what's wrong?"
>She ignores him however. She's still glaring at you, and she seems to be getting impatient.

Kasu · « **Reply #55 on:** September 26, 2011, 01:40:02 AM »

> Tremble.
> We're human right?
> If so: "I-I'm human..."
> Sniffle.

Sonae · « **Reply #56 on:** September 26, 2011, 02:06:01 AM »

>You start to shake. You've never really gotten into many fights, so your battle experience is next to none.
>You wonder what you are for a moment, but your mind seems fuzzy, and you speak instinctively.
>"...I-I'm h-human..." you say weakly. You're so unsure of your answer you can't even look at her.
>"Don't lie to me!" Sara shouts at you, making you step back in fear. "I know you're a youkai...I can sense it...So don't think you can fool me!"
>You feel like running away, but your body is frozen in place. It seems you've got one last chance before she dashes at you. My species...? ~~The title of this quest~~

Kasu · « **Reply #57 on:** September 26, 2011, 02:12:26 AM »

> "I might be a k-k-kirin... M-maybe?"

Sonae · « **Reply #58 on:** September 26, 2011, 02:31:22 AM »

>Sara looks confused for a moment, but it passes quickly. She then prepares to tackle you.
>"Stop!" Kazuo shouts.
>Sara blinks and turns her eyes towards him, a suprised look plastered on her face.
>"Sara what's gotten into you!?"
>"Uh...I jus-" She spoke slowly, like a child that was being scolded.
>"Don't make excuses! She didn't do anything wrong to you" He said firmly.
>Sara was silent for a minute. "But I...you...she-"
>Kazuo's gaze silenced the demon gatekeeper, who lowered her head in response.
>A painful silence hung over the three.
Speak?
-Yes.
-No.

Kasu · « **Reply #59 on:** September 26, 2011, 12:12:06 PM »

> "S-SORRY!"
> Bow.
