Ok, so are we going back to the tree for a chat?

Leaving this open for discussion, of course.

Damnit I left this hanging too long.

I'm fairly certain it's not the weapon that bugged the tree, but rather the specific dagger that had been used to seal it.
I very much doubt this is going to end well. W/e, do what you think is going to work.

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #446 on:** October 13, 2011, 11:50:07 PM »

Yukari is known for not telling the truth all the time.
Plus, we've left this alone long enough. If we don't do something, we'll probably continue going back and forth. And I, for one, would like to move on with this.

It may end badly... But we aren't going to find out by just sitting here and thinking about it.

If all else fails, we probably have a gap ready to retrieve weapons if need be; I do think of these things, you know. ^^

No, we don't. We don't! That's, like, the main reason we're doing this first.

?: Don't remove things I quote. :V
Seriously, I don't think leaving the weapons behind will help us. If anything, it's going to hurt us. Unless you think Youmu might turn against us.

>Let her walk forward first, before quickly picking up her Roukan blade; just the one sword.
>Follow her; try and make sure she doesn't spot we picked it up.

[More to your taste, Omba? This way, we have at least one sword we can hand to Youmu. And yes, I did think that too.]
