> "How long did you record one for?" Nitori asks after a minute, roughly.
> "Er..."
> "Have you grown your own? What about the climate?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Not yet, no. They're a fairly recent discovery. There should be copious notes on their growing conditions, though."

[Neovereign]

>"Not yet, no. They're a fairly recent discovery. There should be copious notes on their growing conditions, though."

> "Uh huh..."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"In your hands. So that's the climate issue answered, at least."

[Neovereign]

>"In your hands. So that's the climate issue answered, at least."

> "So we try growing our own first?" Marisa asks.
> "Then you pretty much get as many tries for other things later." Nitori replies.
> "Of course..."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I don't suppose you would have any bright ideas for a farming set-up?"

[Neovereign]

>"I don't suppose you would have any bright ideas for a farming set-up?"

> "Farming? No, I can't say I do."

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's get them notes back.
>"Well then, hm, how do you feel now?"

[Neovereign]

>Let's get them notes back.
>"Well then, hm, how do you feel now?"

> You take your notes back.
> "Like I should start considering taking this mushroom stuff into my hands." Nitori says.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I meant more generally. That said, we are certainly open to ideas?"

[Neovereign]

>"I meant more generally. That said, we are certainly open to ideas?"

> "I said considering. There might be downsides we don't know of."
> "Haven't noticed any yet aside from the time limit." Marisa says.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I was avoiding mentioning that, to be honest. I wanted to see if it would last longer if Nitori simply relaxed as she is."

[Neovereign]

>"I was avoiding mentioning that, to be honest. I wanted to see if it would last longer if Nitori simply relaxed as she is."

> "Like a sort of placebo effect?" Nitori asks.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"More like not burning a candle at both ends, really."

[Neovereign]

>"More like not burning a candle at both ends, really."

> "Any other ideas?" Marisa asks.
> "Uh..."
> "Oh, see if she can understand Shanghai or Hourai." Marisa says."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Say something random to the kappa, you two."

[Neovereign]

>"Say something random to the kappa, you two."

> "Shang Shanghai Shang Shang Shanghai Shanghai. (You sounded smart and like a leader.)" Shanghai comments.
> "I don't think I understood her..." Nitori says.
> "Listen to the way they speak. If the mushroom helps, then you should start figuring it out in no time." Marisa says.
> "Shanghai, Shang Shang Shanghai. (Hourai, you say something too.)" Shanghai speaks again.
> The other doll shakes her head.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hourai, please."

[Neovereign]

>"Hourai, please."

> "Rai Hourai Rai Hourai. (One of us is enough.)" Hourai speaks.
> "I see your point there." Marisa says.
> "Shang Shang Shanghai. Shang Shanghai Shanghai Shang. (My name is Shanghai. Me and Hourai are Alice's dolls.)" Shanghai points to herself and Hourai, talking to Nitori.
> "Uh... Could you say that again?" Nitori asks.
> Shanghai begins to repeat.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Let this process continue. Try not to ogle to kappa in the meantime.

[Neovereign]

>Let this process continue. Try not to ogle to kappa in the meantime.

> "One more time." Nitori requests.
> Shanghai repeats.
> "...Again. One last time. For real this time Shanghai."
> Your doll repeats.
> "Alright. I understood it." Nitori smiles.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Tell her about our home, Shanghai? Let's see if she can follow that much."

[Neovereign]

>"Tell her about our home, Shanghai? Let's see if she can follow that much."

> "Shang Shanghai Shang Shanghai Shanghai. (We live in the Forest of Magic.)"
> "Again."
> Shanghai repeats.
> "Okay."
> "Shang Shanghai Shanghai. (We're Marisa's neighbors.)"
> "Er... Okay." Nitori nods as she begins to flash.
> "Dang." Marisa frowns.

[Hello Purvis]

>"This could count as mental activity, but yes. Dang."
>Did it see to last any longer or shorter than when Marisa took two mushrooms?

[Neovereign]

>"This could count as mental activity, but yes. Dang."
>Did it see to last any longer or shorter than when Marisa took two mushrooms?

> No.
> "I'm glowing?" Nitori questions.

[Hello Purvis]

>"It's about to run out."

[Neovereign]

>"It's about to run out."

> "Oh. It's good that there's a tell for it, I guess."
> Nitori's figure returns to normal...
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"And there you have it."

[Neovereign]

>"And there you have it."

> "Shang Shang Shanghai? (Do you still understand?)"
> "Kind of..." Nitori answers.
