> Where exactly is the ache in the hand ? It could be useful to see the effect ,and bring it to examine ,once the Ticket-to-Dry-Land is hit..
>Do the forest match the Youkai Mountain Forest we passed to reach the Kappa Village ?In the same sea-dunk and well-adjusted condition?
>Look behind in the opposite direction of the Village,if nothing standing out is noted,look back,keep track of it then tree-approaching.
>Properly examine and feel it it is a Youkai Mountain forest tree which has been recently submerged in ocean water...
>Does the supposedly deep-fathom pressure do not affect the trees and vegetation?What about those houses and the items inside?
>All seems to be behaving as if properly under salty waters apart from some issuues such as  things at the bottom being so well-preserved as if they were smoothly  and only fairly recently displaced with their own lighting which does not,or with much difficulty,travel upwards...
>The other time ended up on top of the Temple roof without realizing but with actual movement,flight and phasing out....
> Could this mean that while here feels like sea-diving in this ocean-with-bits-of-Gensokyo-at-the-bottom dimension,in the real Gensokyo there's a case ,in front of Tojiko the Taoist nonethless ,about a sudden disappearance or maybe a sleepwalk-like of a Buddhist Ghost Sailor who would be this time be found having climbed down or up the Mountain?
>As if this place,or whoever is behind this,was pulling more and more pieces of Gensokyo first pulling in a living being,or rather a ghostly being,as an anchor and then bits of the environment alongside herself...

>It is on the side of your left hand, which is bleeding a little.
>It seems to resemble that forest, at least.
>Looking away from the village, you don't see anything particularly different before your visibility fails you.
>You swim down to one of the trees and feel it. It is indeed a proper tree, a black-thing with few leaves and a lot of nasty-looking branches.
>That's true, the water pressure isn't affecting anything. At least that you can see.
>You have no idea how this must look to people who aren't here. Can they even see you?
>You have no idea.

>How far away do we feel from where we and Tojiko were?
>Does anything look distinct enough to easily find if/when we return to the non-flooded Gensokyo?
>Can we taste the water and compare it to normal ocean water, if we remember the taste of the latter?

>If we find them, try digging a small hole next to it or otherwise marking it, so we can see if that carries over to regular Gensokyo.

>Looking around, you find a tree with a distinct sort of Y-shaped split in the trunk.

>You are currently on the ground, so it is much higher than you.
>You're not sure, actually, but surely it is among the highest. The gates to the netherworld may be higher, but you are certainly not going to check that yourself.

>You begin to swim upward again.
>After about a minute of this, the world suddenly shifts in the space of an eyeblink. The water is gone, the sky is bright and clear. You hand no longer hurts. You can see Gensokyo as you know it around you. You are falling, and should probably do something about that.

>You cry out reflexively and catch yourself as you fall. It takes a bit of work to slow your momentum; you're only a few yards above the dense leafless treetops of the forest outside of the kappa village by the time you come to a complete stop.

>You do not seem to have an anemone onhand, or anything of the sort. You note as well that you no longer have a bite mark on your hand.
>You make your way back toward the village, covering a little distance before you hear her shout "There you are!" from below.

>"That was it! It happened again!"

>You don't fly over to her so much as downward. Which involves picking your way through the tangled canopy of branches that is thick enough to leave the forest below quite gloomy despite the lack of leaves.
>Tojiko waits by a tree as you work your way through. "I thought as such. You just sort of went fuzzy and disappeared."
