> "Kaay." Hustle over to Keine and stick out our arms. "Like this?"

> "Yes, that's perfect."  Keine takes a strip of measuring tape out of the basket and holds it to the length of your arms, around your waist, even your height.
> When she has finished recording the data she has gathered, Keine then starts laying out the different cloth.
> "I found these patterns, do you like them?"

> What kind of patterns?

> You take a look at the patterns.  There are two white bolts of cloth: one with a green bamboo pattern and another with orange dragonflies arranged in a geometric pattern.  There are also a lot of bolts of cloth with earthy browns, greens, reds, and blues, each with a different geometric pattern on it.
> Kouyoshi looks over from where she's standing at the chalkboard.  "Ohh, those look nice.."

> You hold up the cloth, examining each pattern.  The feel soft; this is definitely nice fabric.
> "Since you said that's all you have, I figured I might as well try to make a lot," Keine says.  "Is there anything in particular that you want right away?"

> You hold up the geometric patterned cloth.  Kouyoshi smiles a little.
> "Looks nice," she says.
> "Okay, then!"  Keine opens the basket and starts fishing through it with one hand.  With the other, she takes the cloth from you and lays it on the table.

> You watch as she takes out a pair of scissors and a small piece of chalk.  She turns back to the paper every so often, folding the cloth and holding the measuring tape to it.  She then starts tracing shapes into the cloth with the chalk, before cutting at it with the scissors.  Is she...cutting out a pattern?

> You sit at the desk and watch as she finishes cutting out at the cloth.  This is the first time you've seen someone make clothes like this before.
> "Usually if we don't make them ourselves, we get them imported," Keine says.  "This cloth is actually from somewhere outside Gensokyo."

> There's a such thing as "outside of Gensokyo"?
> You've always considered there to be Gensokyo, and then that's it.  What's in the rest of the world, anyway?
> "That's right.  Gensokyo's so isolated we don't get a lot of the things we need, so we trade for imports.  Honestly..."  Keine reaches into the basket for a sewing needle and thread.  "...depending so much on it makes me uneasy."

> Keine threads the needle and, after folding the cloth a certain way, starts to sew.  Kouyoshi turns away from the chalkboard and sits down near the podium to watch.
> "It's a mystery," Keine says.  "No one knows for sure what's out there, but sometimes we get things no one can identify.  For example..."  She pauses and "hmm"s in contemplation.  "...For example, we get these clunky devices with buttons on them.  It's definitely not wood, nor metal.  It's not even glass.  It looks a bit dangerous."

> It's scary, but there are a lot of scary things here.  Maybe it's some sort of special weapon that people outside use.
> Keine, in the meantime, is busy sewing up the cloth.  Her eyebrows are furrowed, and she stares intently at the cloth as she makes quick, close-together stitches in the fabric.  Kouyoshi leans against the podium and closes her eyes; her tail swishes back and forth.
> A few minutes pass, and Keine is still sewing.  She seems to have made some good progress, at least.

> You watch Kouyoshi's tail swish back and forth.  It's almost hypnotic to watch.
> You want to touch it again, but considering that she won't like that, you creep over towards her.  Because her eyes are closed, she doesn't notice.

> You consider touching it...no, you have to touch it.
