>Afore we do, how tired are we?

As with hunger, you don't need sleep, but you can still get tired. Between getting a little lost in the Forest of Magic, carrying a flash-frozen Kyouko from the Youkai Mountain to your enemy's stronghold, and every other minor inconvenience you've had today, a night's sleep wouldn't kill you.

>Return to your room

You unceremoniously return to your own room. It has a bulkhead window, like on a boat. It was the one thing you didn't allow Hijiri to change when the Palanquin Ship became a temple.

We may've gone through a lot more trouble today than on an average day, but we're not so tired that we could fall asleep like this with all our equipment still on us. Like hey, did we even have to fight anyone? Nope!

Taking the shoes off your feet, you set them aside.

It's indeed a futon. With a seagull-patterned blanket Hijiri bought with you in mind. Because seagulls. Seems your search - though incomplete - wasn't too harsh on you today, after all. A couple little roadblocks, but no fighting yet, so you're not quite drop-dead tired.

Unloading the anchor from your back, spellcards from your pocket, and bag of other assorted items from your arm, you set them all to the side of the futon where you can easily reach them come morning. You could probably sleep now that you have all that equipment off your back.

With no desire to recite sutras or practice self-denial to be found in your heart, you shut your eyes and call it a night. A good night's sleep does a ghost some good, they say...do they say that?

Girls are now sleeping...

"GOOD MORNING!" That voice can be one only. What time is it anyway? As you've said before, between Kyouko and the awful alarm clock from Kourindou, you'd rather wake up to the alarm clock. At least that has no chance of rupturing your eardrums.

A quick check on your ear health confirms that they are in fact not bleeding. They hurt, but no blood's been drawn.

Nope, you're as fine as can be.

Quote from: bigyihsuan

>Get up and re-equip

Getting up to your feet (as if you could sleep again after that), you pick up your spell cards, anchor, and bag that carries the rest of your inventory, and gear up for the day. Seems Kyouko's already taken the liberty of getting herself geared for the day as well.

Looking directly at Kyouko, you smile and say:

"Wake you up like what?" Seems she's not aware of how much volume goes into her wake-up calls.

Kyouko still doesn't seem to get what you meant. At least she only did it with good intentions.

Quote from: Namusour

>Gauge time.

Judging by where the sun is in the sky from the view of your window, it's probably about 7AM.

Quote from: Namusour

>Gauge hunger.

Not really hungry. Being a ghost has quite a few benefits.

Quote from: bigyihsuan

>Prepare to return to the Youkai Mountain

Picking up your anchor and spellcards, you do a mental checklist to make sure you have everything. Today's another day of trying to find the Jeweled Pagoda, after all.

"READY!!" Evidence suggests she's very ready. So ready, in fact, that she starts leaving, certain you're just as eager as she is...or at least, certain you won't just let her wander off on her own.

Oldmansour · « **Reply #317 on:** October 01, 2014, 01:15:03 AM »

Well, this new color scheme'll take a bit of getting used to. Still, it's a damn sight less.... controversial than last time this happened.

Quote from: Namusour

>To Youkai Mountain!

Kyouko in tow, you and the yamabiko girl take off and set course for Youkai Mountain! Just as you're close enough to the mountain to start landing there, you hear someone call out from behind. From this distance, you can't quite make out whose voice it was or what they said, but you definitely heard somebody.

Kyouko stops at your telling her to.

Checking behind you...

Quote from: bigyihsuan

>look for the voice

...you see a girl. You'd recognize those wings and that trident anywhere. You could safely bet any amount of money; that's gotta be Nue.

A brief bit of waiting later, Nue's face-to-face with you within speaking range. "Thanks for waiting, Captain," she says, using the usual nickname she addresses you by.

>Available information on Nue.

Nue is a prankster through and through. She loves to throw a wrench into somebody's day if she's bored and loves seeing their reactions even more. She technically isn't a Buddhist (and if she is, she's certainly not among Byakuren's flock) but lives in the Myouren Temple with you and the other Buddhists. One of her favorite pranks is to disguise herself as somebody else and do stupid things, only for the real person to have no memory of doing them. For some reason, she doesn't target you, addresses you as "Captain" instead of "Murasa" like everybody else, and tends to follow you when you do big things like this. She is also a TERRIBLE cook, and has been forbidden from helping cook the temple's meals (much to Eientei's dismay).

Finally, due to a minor incident in the temple about a year ago you'd both rather forget, you know Nue sleeps in the nude.

Not at all.

Quote from: Namusour

>Or anything else?

"Anything else" meaning "additional information", none to be reported. "Anything else" meaning "would it rouse anything else?"...still no.

Nope.

Nue's still a bit salty with Kyouko since the latter played a big part in last year's mishap, but the two get along fine. Kyouko is also known to be an on-and-off favored target for Nue's pranks.

You wouldn't need to, but it would certainly be beneficial to make sure she doesn't do anything to Kyouko during this adventure.

Quote from: Namusour

>"Morning, Nue."

"I flew all the way out here and that's all I get?" After a brief pause, Nue drops the expression on her face, puts on a smile, and says "Morning, Captain."
