>"Not that really caught my eye," says Parsee. "Just Yamame a couple times, with her usual stuff she forages. She didn't stay long either."

>"Hmmm... I really need to head topside if I'm gonna figure this out. Whatever the answer to this is, I don't think I'm going to find it down here."
>"And, uh, that brings me to something else... I don't suppose you'd be willing to fill in at the clinic real quick, while I go and fetch someone else from the Temple? I promise I'll be as fast as I can, but I just don't want to leave it unattended for the time it'll take me to get them."

>Parsee frowns. "You promise to be quick? Because I'm going topside in a few hours to do a thing, and...well, I'll be honest, I don't want to be in the city when most of the oni wake up."

A note for Yuugi if she shows up might be a good idea, too.

>Not really. As far as you know she's never been there, and you've managed to avoid be guilted into volunteering for it so far. You've not heard any stories from the others about her, at least.

>You do. It's mostly cleaning, dealing with sick buckets, and making some house calls. You're pretty sure there's a comprehensive list for the last one hidden somewhere in the back.

>Well, she certainly doesn't need to worry about house calls for this length of time.
>"Just keep an eye on the place, really. I'm sure you've been around oni too drunk to stay on their own feet, before. You won't be there long enough to need to worry about much else."

>You take to the air and start toward the Palace of Earth Spirits.
>You soar over the Ancient City. Much of it is quiet, which thankfully includes the Pub District, but you can see a few fights and such on the streets. Looking down toward the Market, you can see a fair number of oni milling about in a moderate-scaled scuffle near the central northern part of the city.
>Drawing close to the Palace of the Earth Spirits, a large blockish manor covered in numerous vines of ivy and mosses, you see dozens of evil spirits floating over it. Thankfully, they seem content to just mill about in the air. Landing near the large stone doors, you can hear the echoes of the marketplace melee, some distance to the west.
