> "No clue. But now that I've learned he's all over the place, it's the only real info I have."

[Hello Purvis]

> "No clue. But now that I've learned he's all over the place, it's the only real info I have."

>"I see," says the woman.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Shame, really. I've only been focusing on eventually heading north to look for him. That's a lot of searching that doesn't seem like it's going to amount to anything."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Shame, really. I've only been focusing on eventually heading north to look for him. That's a lot of searching that doesn't seem like it's going to amount to anything."

>"It would be difficult, yes," says the woman. "To my understanding, there aren't many people out in that direction. But, perhaps that would help. They would be unlikely to overlook someone if they did see him..."

> "I've talked to someone I'm pretty is the youkai woman of the flower fields, but she hadn't seen anyway. I also heard there's an abandoned Lunarian base out that way...could he have found it, and would anyone have noticed if he did?"

>"It's possible," says the woman. "We've stopped paying attention to it after the looters finally finished with it. There shouldn't be anything of interest there anymore, save the structure itself."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Okay. Might try to find it myself later. Other than that, I hear there's Hakugyokurou."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Okay. Might try to find it myself later. Other than that, I hear there's Hakugyokurou."

>"Well, don't tell Eirin I told you this, as it would make her very upset," says the woman, lowering her voice, "But you can find it in the field just west of the Garden of the Sun; that would be the flower field you mentioned. There's a trap door there, though I think it's been removed now? Either way, that should help you. As for Hakugyokurou, it would be interesting if our little explorer found his way there..."

>"How so?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"How so?"

>"I'm sure you have a vivid enough imagination that I need say no more," says the woman.

[Kilgamayan]

> What do we know of Hakugyokurou?

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Thing is, I'm not exactly familiar with Hakugyokuro. I have no idea what might go on there."

[Hello Purvis]

> What do we know of Hakugyokurou?

>You know it's a destination of the judged, namely those who will be reincarnated, and that it is ruled over by a ghost princess who has some nominal connection to the Celestial Bureaucracy. You never heard of anything going awry with it while you were still in Higan, so you imagine it's probably not changed since.

[Kilgamayan]

I guess we do know enough about it. :V

> "I suppose that's true. Well, hopefully he's either there or in that base, or else I might just lose interest and head back underground. He can be someone else's problem."

[Hello Purvis]

>She chuckles.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Unless there's anything else up north I haven't heard about."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Unless there's anything else up north I haven't heard about."

>"There's quite a lot of wild land, as I understand it," says the woman. "I want to believe the Prismriver sisters live in that direction, but I may be misremembering..."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Recall known information on Prismriver Sisters.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>If we know little or nothing about them: "Who are the Prismriver sisters?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Recall known information on Prismriver Sisters.

>They sound familiar. You think they are some musicians who did some performances in the underground city a couple years ago.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I'll try to keep an eye out for them as well, I guess."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I'll try to keep an eye out for them as well, I guess."

>"They come and go, who knows where they are these days?" says the woman. "I think I should like to retain their services myself sometime in the future."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, if I see them, I can tell them that, if you like."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, if I see them, I can tell them that, if you like."

>"Oh, that would be lovely," says the woman.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Do they know how to get here?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Do they know how to get here?"

>"Likely not on their own," says the woman. "But I imagine they'll find a way. People always do."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "They could always ask that woman in the pants. I wonder why she brings people here, though. Sounds like she's not a huge fan of this place."

[Hello Purvis]

> "They could always ask that woman in the pants. I wonder why she brings people here, though. Sounds like she's not a huge fan of this place."

>"She likes to be a thorn in our side," says the woman, "So she'll bring anyone who asks in hopes that they want to cause trouble."

[Kilgamayan]

> "I know full well what that purple-haired rabbit could do to me. I'd have to be a special kind of stupid to want to cause trouble here."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I know full well what that purple-haired rabbit could do to me. I'd have to be a special kind of stupid to want to cause trouble here."

>"Well, no one accused Mokou of thinking it through very far," says the woman, with the faintest hint of a smile.
