> "I've been fine, how have you been?"
> Take the cup.

>You accept the cup of tea. It smells strongly of jasmine
>"Mmm, I could be better," says Yuka. "I had a rather disappointing autumn. But, I did have a little project of mine come to fruitation! I managed to successfully breed a strain of daffodil to have mirrored petals! Sadly, they won't be bloom until sometime this summer, so I am not able to show you any. There were some clippings, but I lost track of them."

>"Oh, it is!" says Yuka, beaming now. "They reflected light so wonderfully, you could even groom yourself in one!"
>You didn't see such a thing as Scarlet Devil Mansion. But you did see a Vase of Mirrored Flowers on the boss' desk back at The Felt.
>"Now, you're interested in UFOs?" asks Yuka. "I think I've seen something like that a bit to the south. I've never really bothered with them, though. But they do seem to show up there every so often lately. There was quite a to do about them last summer, wasn't there?"
>You sip your tea, and find it is very strongly flavored with jasmine. It's not bad, but a little stronger than you like.

> Ponder the damage that could be done if we mention the mirrored flowers.

>The worst case scenario would be that Yuka goes into a city full of oni and tries to rob and probably mug one of its more beloved figures. You don't know if Gensokyo has had many city-wide riots in its history, but that would certainly have the potential to spark one.
>The second worse case scenario is that she orders you to go get it on the pain of being punched really hard in the face.
>She seems to be in a good mood, though. Maybe you could talk her out of doing anything drastic? At the same time, she is sitting right beside you, she could possibly put you in a headlock before you could do anything. You really aren't sure how she'll react, save that if you antagonize her about it, she probably will not take it very well at all.

> "She is pretty large, not as big as Marisa, but probably the closest to her size.  Right now, Reimu would rather find out who is causing it if it isn't actually Hijiri causing it.  I guess she'd rather just figure this out without it coming to blows unnecessarily.  Therefore, I'm seeing if anyone has knows about anything suspicious."

>She nods along to your story. "Well, that's very kind of you."
>You take your leave. Yuka reclaims her thermos lid before you go. "Do be careful!" she says. "Feel free to pop by again; I had a lovely time if short time, Rise."
>You begin the long, but mostly straightforward hike toward the Scarlet Devil Mansion. As you pass through human town again, you start to feel a bit uncomfortable. At first, brush it off as just being something of a stranger in town, and carry on. But as you continue toward the Forest of Magic, you cannot deny a strange sensation settling upon you. You can't shake the feeling you're being watched.
>Heading into the forest a bit, you see that wolf once more, digging at the snow near a tree. He looks up at you, and starts barking in your direction. He doesn't seem to be prepared to pounce, just barking.

>You look around for something out of the ordinary. This quickly leads to you looking behind yourself. You can't immediately put your finger on why, but there is something wrong about the scenery behind you. Everything is as it should be. But...there! You see a sort of curious shimmer in the air, about five yards from you. It seems to be drawing closer at about walking speed.

>If you can't identify the shimmer, start walking backwards away from it. And if it speeds up, turn around and start running. It could be some eldritch abomination like the giygas bees from Patchy Quest were.

>You've heard some stories that Satori has a sister who walks around unseen.
>You remove your Pair of Dark Glasses, and try to squint at distorted air. You really can't see anything better. So you try the next best thing, and manipulate the light around it a little bit. This turns the surrounding forest purple, and the snow a strange green shade, but you are able to see through the distortions
>You see a white, spectral...being approaching you. It seems to have two parts; one is a hand that is reaching out toward you. The other is its face, or rather part of a face. It looks as though its face were wrapped in a scarf, so that you could only see its left eye, nose, and most of the lower right side of the face; but there is no scarf, just these exposed parts hovering in the empty air. Its features don't seem to be those of a standard human or youkai. They look more artificial, like a statue or mannequin. The way the two parts are placed seem to imply there is a body you cannot see; you think it would be over seven feet tall.
>It continues to approach you.

> Give the wolf our Lamprey Fillet.

>You are a little too occupied to do this right now.

>Koishi manipulates the subconscious, right?; perhaps she can make it so you don't notice her unless you actually consciously look at her, but that doesn't quite mean she can turn into a shimmery thing...
>If you can't identify the shimmer, start walking backwards away from it. And if it speeds up, turn around and start running. It could be some eldritch abomination like the giygas bees from Patchy Quest were.

>This certainly seems close enough to an abomination to you! You back away.
>It continues to approach, but it does not speed up.
