> You fly closer.
> It's a keystone...or rather, it's a hovering chunk of land shaped like a keystone, with a shimenawa wrapped around it. There's a small tree growing from it, and some grass dried out from the winter, but nothing else.
> Kogasa lands on the hovering "keystone" experimentally. "Looks like it won't fall down."

> You land carefully and keep a hold on Madotsuki. You don't want to drop her.
> You know that keystones are used to surpress earthquakes or, on rare occassions, start them. They're more commonly found in the ground than in the sky, though.

> You take a look at the tree. You don't really know what kind of tree it is, since there are no leaves on it...You're not that knowledgeable with identifying trees.

All right, so I won't be here for a while, so I might as well unveil my master plan...

I'm sending this message to let you know what my intentions are, and what I plan on asking when appropriate concerning Suwako's giant robot. I know that Hisoutensoku, in the games, is moved by air (though I can't remember how exactly), and when Ryuu asked about giant robots, an idea clicked in my mind. Basically, I want to figure out how Hisoutensoku works, and, this is the important bit, if we could power it using the ghosts. Not necessarily something like "power it by sacrificing ghosts" but just have a hell of a lot of ghosts inside the thing and moving it.

I'm not asking you to actually let us create a giant ghost mecha: I'm sending this to let you know of my intentions, so that you have answers ready when the time comes. If you decide that the idea's just too silly, I am perfectly fine with that.

Thank you for reading my note, and thank you for starting a new game!

That was a PM I sent to Himiko two months ago, when the game first started. So, now to find out if we can have our ghost Hisoutensoku~

Hey, remember when I said I wasn't going to be here? I lied. But there's the plan, anyways.

> It might as well be a giant puppet, not a robot...That's kind of disappointing. You were hoping for a cockpit at least.

The toughest part about doing this is trying to figure out a natural, in character way for the player character to lead the conversation in the way that we want.

Then, I remember that Sanae is just as random and insane as I am.
