>Tag along, if she leads off, somewhere

>"I don't remember saying we," says Marisa. "Give me a minute, and I'll show you what you're looking for."
>She stands up, and heads toward the house.

> "I notice you didn't react much to the dream comments. Did you not have the same fuzzy dream everyone else has?"

>"Didn't have much to do with what we were talking about," says Marisa, as she heads inside. "But I did."
>You follow her inside, and find yourself in a small hallway. There is a coatrack by the door, with an umbrella hanging off of it, but little else here. To the north, you can see a messy bedroom, and to the south, a kitchen.  Obvious exists are north, south, and east.
>"Just wait here a moment, she says, heading into the kitchen, then disappearing though another door.
>A couple minutes pass, before she returns with a scape of paper, a bag, and a mushroom in hand.
>"Okay," she says, "This is what you're looking for." She shows you the mushroom., a broad-capped one with orangish stripes on it. "I use 'em in a lot of my magic, so get as many as you can. And for you..." she hands you the paper. You notice it has charcoal sketches of two kinds of mushroom on it. One is the mushroom she just showed you, the other a thin one with a pointy cap. "That's your Star Mushroom. The ones I need, they grow in the southern parts of the forest, near the lake. Star Mushrooms, they can happen anywhere above ground, but they're not very common. Don't eat either of them!"

>"Uh, sorta of. There's a spotted brown kind. If they're really spotty, they can sometimes look striped. Just check all the rest around them.
>You try to take the bag and sketch, but you only have so many hands.
>"Oh, you can leave that here, if you want," says Marisa.

>Taking to the air, not even needing use the floating stone to help you focus this time, you see there is an awful lot of forest around here. To the south, though, it gives way to a sizable lake. To the west, you see the forest give way to what seems to be bamboo. To the east, you can glimpse the foothills of the mountains that the entrance to the Underground lies.

>"Really bad stuff!" chimes in a brown-haired faerie.
>"Strictly off limits," says a dark-haired one, nodding sagely, before going back to contemplating the dice.
>"But it got fixed last winter," the red-haired faerie continues, after giving a glare to her companions.
>"The mushrooms here aren't any good," says the brown-haired faerie. "Too sporey."

>You've only filled it a little bit. You could probably stick in a few dozen of them, maybe a hundred if you squished them a bit.
>You look toward the rustling, and see what looks like someone's back poking out from it; someone wearing a black dress with a blue corset over it. Smallish wings are visible as well.
