>The pink-haired woman with the wounded arm is still there, and she looks at you curiously as you approach, then frowns. "Put that bird down if you don't intend to eat it!" she says. "In fact, put it down, anyways!"

>It takes a little fumbling, the snake turned bird has no interest in holding still for this process, but you manage to grip her as suggested. She's still struggling and trying to push her back against your thumbs, but much less effectively now.
>While you do this, the woman coos at the bird a little, and frowns. "She's certainly not listening to me," she says. "Where did you find this?"

So does anyone else remember seeds turning into birds?

Also, since I don't want to forget something this important again...

No, but it's still a fairly good lead. If nothing else, we hand it in with the statement that we're not completely sure if it's what we were asked to find.

>Your Quests are:
>Pursuit!
>You have been trying to find the man who assaulted you. He seems to be in deep with some weird people at the graveyard, and was last found around the northern parts of the forest.
>Manipulation of Collection Agency Jackals
>You've been asked to collect a set of Earring from Ichiro's jewelery shop to pay off a debt to Kourindou
>Repo Girl
>Faeries have stolen a Red Leather Book, a Large Wax Candle, and a Red Crystal Rose from Kourindou, you've been tasked with retrieving them. The Red Crystal Rose is in the possession of a rabbit named Miyu, who is perhaps considering giving it up. The Red Leather book seems to have passed to a youkai puppeteer.
>Follow that Snake!
>Some strange person has lost a pet snake, and swears she will pay anything you want to get it back. You are reasonably sure you have found it, but it seems to have turned into a bird.
