[Bio]

> "Once again, I can't go anything with your lack of description. How long ago was it?"

[Sect]

> Continue moving the way we were before, dragging her along with an arm looped through hers.
> "Crying's not going to bring her back. Now, I own a newspaper, and I got my eyes and ears everywhere, so I can keep an eye out for her. But in order for me to continue printing, I need to get to Chireiden, and fast. So, we can keep moving, and you can describe Kisume to me on the way, all right?"

> "Once again, I can't go anything with your lack of description. How long ago was it?"

>You link your arm to Yamame's and begin to drag her deeper underground. She seems rather drained and provides no resistance.
>"I know crying won't do anything. I know..."
>"You would do that for me? You would search for her? Even though I attacked you?"
>"Bless you. God bless you."
>"She has long, green hair. She is of small stature. She likes dark places."
>"She disappeared around three seasons ago, in the beginning of Summer."
>"Ah, stop here."
>Yamame points to a small crack in the wall.
>"Through here is the ancient city."
>You have four hours and twenty minutes remaining.

[Sect]

> Jot down the description of Kisume in our notepad. "I'm still sore about you attacking me but... I know how it is to worry for a-a loved one..."
> Anything significant happen around the time of her disappearance?

[Kips McKipzerson]

> Anything significant happen around the time of her disappearance?

> Recall the news from 3 seasons ago.

>You write down Kisume's description in your notepad.
>You believe that was around the time that the Hakurei Maiden began collecting payment from Gensokyo's residents.
>Most papers were publishing stories about Nitori, the broken Border, or the Hakurei Maiden's demands for money.

>Try and find some photos of this person, or anyone resembling them on our way to the city.
>"Thanks. Trust me, I'll do all I can!"

>You search for any photos of this Kisume, however no pictures of her seem to exist.
>"I should be thanking you. You do not know how grateful I am."

>Return the other pearl.

>"Thank you..."

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow her. Do keep wary for other underground horrors.
>"You're welcome."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Follow her. Do keep wary for other underground horrors.
>"You're welcome."

>You follow Yamame as she heads through the crack in the wall.
>You exit the crack to see a rather magnificent looking city beneath you.
>Or, at least, you imagine it would have been magnificent if it were illuminated.
>You can see the shadows of several large buildings extending into the darkness.
>The fabled parties of the Oni are nowhere to be seen.
>You can see the outline of a large building on the outskirts of the city, you imagine this to be the Palace of Earth Spirits.
>"Do you mind if I accompany you into the city? It is the least I can do if you are going to be searching for Kisume on my behalf."

[Hello Purvis]

>What do we know about the people traditionally associated with the palace, anyways?

So. How're we going to blackmail a mind reader?
