Reimu Quest (Part 6)

[Sect]

> Investigate that cube.

[日巫子]

> Investigate that cube.

> You approach the cube.  All of the sides are made of some opaque, smooth-looking material, but the side facing you is shiny, and you can see your reflection in it.

> _

[Sect]

> See if there's any way to open the cube.

[日巫子]

> See if there's any way to open the cube.

> You inspect the cube, and it doesn't seem to have any openings.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Does it have any feature at all?

[日巫子]

>Does it have any feature at all?

> There's a row of buttons under the shiny part of the cube.

> _

[Sect]

> Press a button, see what happens.

[日巫子]

> Press a button, see what happens.

> You push one of the buttons.  Nothing happens.

> _

[Hanzo K.]

>Try pressing other buttons. Who knows, it might even give us a lead.

[日巫子]

>Try pressing other buttons. Who knows, it might even give us a lead.

> You keep pressing buttons.  Somewhere along the line, you hit one that works, and the reflective screen flickers to life.
> You no longer see your reflection in shiny part of the cube.  Instead, it's a jumbled mess of white and black.  A loud hissing sound emits from the cube, startling you.

> _

[Hanzo K.]

>Try the other buttons now, maybe they didn't work because the one button wasn't pressed?

[日巫子]

>Try the other buttons now, maybe they didn't work because the one button wasn't pressed?

> You keep pressing other buttons.  The hissing gets louder, and the image on the cube flickers.  However, the image doesn't change.

> _

[Sect]

> Hm... must be broken or something. Rinnosuke should know what it is.
> Glance at the smaller black thing on top. Are there buttons on it?

[日巫子]

> Hm... must be broken or something. Rinnosuke should know what it is.
> Glance at the smaller black thing on top. Are there buttons on it?

> Whatever this is, it doesn't work.  You take a look at the small rectangle on top of it, and it indeed has buttons.  More buttons than the cube does, in fact.

> _

[Hanzo K.]

>Hmm...Let's pick the little rectangle up and push more random buttons. Maybe it tells the big one what to do?

[日巫子]

>Hmm...Let's pick the little rectangle up and push more random buttons. Maybe it tells the big one what to do?

> You pick up the rectangle and keep pushing buttons.  The image keeps flickering with each button press, but nothing else happens.

> _

[Sect]

> Bah. There's probably some arcane ritual involved. Either way, until we either find the notes for the ritual or evidence that the box ate Chen or something, no sense in messing with it even more.
> COntinue looking around in the room.

[日巫子]

> Bah. There's probably some arcane ritual involved. Either way, until we either find the notes for the ritual or evidence that the box ate Chen or something, no sense in messing with it even more.
> COntinue looking around in the room.

> You'll deal with this later.
> You tune out the hissing and continue exploring the room.  The bookshelf is absolutely packed, but all of the titles either sound boring, or are in languages you don't recognize.  It's misleading considering how fun the rest of the room looks.  With all these places to sit, it's the perfect place to have a party.

> _

[Sect]

> If only Mayohiga wasn't so far out of the way, we'd have parties here. Oh well.
> Let's investigate that cat bedroom. Maybe one of the cats is Chen.

[日巫子]

> If only Mayohiga wasn't so far out of the way, we'd have parties here. Oh well.
> Let's investigate that cat bedroom. Maybe one of the cats is Chen.

> You take a moment to regret Mayohiga's remote location.
> You leave the room and go back to the bedroom.  So far, the cats haven't moved from the futon.  They sleep for so many hours, though, that it's no surprise.  One of them rolls over on its back when you slide the door open.

> _

[Sect]

> Carefully lift the futon cover without disturbing the cats to see if any of them have two tails.

[日巫子]

> Carefully lift the futon cover without disturbing the cats to see if any of them have two tails.

> You tiptoe over and lift the blankets up.  The cats are too sleepy to care.
> There's a fluffy white himalayan cat, a tubby grey tabby, and a small calico.  None of them have two tails.

> _

[Sect]

> Man what a bunch of lazy cats. Carefully drop the cover so they can continue sleeping.
> What all is in this room aside from cats?

[日巫子]

> Man what a bunch of lazy cats. Carefully drop the cover so they can continue sleeping.
> What all is in this room aside from cats?

> Cats are notoriously lazy creatures.  You leave these beasts to their slumber.
> In this room, there is a pile of laundry under a plastic chair and table, and cat toys.  It's messy, but it's only one side of the room.  The other half is empty.

> _

[Sect]

> Weird that it's only occupying one half of the room. Is there a closet or anything in here?

[日巫子]

> Weird that it's only occupying one half of the room. Is there a closet or anything in here?

> That's a little odd.
> There are two narrow doors on each side of the room.  You suspect these are the closets.

> _

[Sect]

> Open 'em!

[日巫子]

> Open 'em!

> You open both the closets.
> The first one you open is full of dresses in various shades of red and orange, with a few green ones mixed in.  There are also silk blouses and skirts, a coat with shiny buttons, and lots of shoes strewn at the bottom.  A cardboard box sits off to one side, packed with toys and trinkets.
> The second closet is well-organized.  The clothes are organized by color.  There are mainly indigo or blue and white or grey clothes, but towards the back you see a lot of curious-looking clothes you've never seen before.  And...are those pants?  You don't recognize the material, but it must have been expensive to make them.  Lots of hat boxes and shoe boxes are stacked neatly on top of one another. 

> _

[Sect]

> It's obvious whose clothes are whose. Let's get a look at the odd clothes, though.
> How tall is Ran compared to us?

[日巫子]

> It's obvious whose clothes are whose. Let's get a look at the odd clothes, though.
> How tall is Ran compared to us?

> You can tell a lot by the contents of someone's closet.  For now, you take a look at Ran's closet.  The odd clothes consist of a lot of the strange pants, made from an unknown blue material and varying in leg length.  There are also t-shirts, button-downs, tank tops, a skirt or two...They reminds you of clothes you've seen Sanae wear when she wasn't doing anything that day.
> You'd say Ran has a good five or seven inches on you.
