> Let's go with the necklace!
>You offer Komachi the necklace. "Hehe, thanks!" she says. "You have a bottle or something? Anyways, you're gonna love this."
>She turns toward the river, puts her fingers to her lips, and gives a loud whistle. You notice the river gets a little choppier, while Komachi fastens the necklace around her neck. "There!" she says, turning to face you, the necklace resting on her chest and standing our against the blue fabric and quite distinctive.
>Before you can answer, something huge emerges from the river. Renko's arm around your shoulder suddenly tightens as a immense, black...thing raises up from the dark waters, raising dozens of feet in the air to tower above you. You can't even make out its entire shape in the darkness, noticing it has cut off most of your view of the river. It simply looks like an mountain in the river. "This is Pochi," says Komachi, walking over and patting on what you assume is it's snout. "Say hello, Pochi."
>It makes a sort of noise that makes you think of what you imagine a pig's squeal sounds like and metal being rent in half. Renko clings to you even harder.
>"So, that bottle?" Komachi says, holding her hand out. "And really, how's it look?"
