>Check for a source to the noise.
>It seems to be coming from outside the shrine.

>Stall by asking what (or who) rung the bell
>You ask Reimu about the bell, and who might be ringing it.
>"The bell!? Well, It's probably someone leaving a donation... ...Which is odd..." Reimu pauses for a second, "N-Not because it doesn't happen often or anything, if that's what you're thinking! Because I get plenty of donations! *ahem* Anyway, that's not important right now... I asked you a ques-"
>The bell rings again. Reimu seems a little annoyed.

>"Hey, we don't want any trouble here..."
>"Then I advise that you-"
>The bell rings yet again
>"-that you answer my-"
>The bell rings several times in quick succession.
>"Oh for the love of- You two, stay put. I'll be back after I deal with this..."
>Reimu quickly storms off as the bell continues to ring repeatedly.


>You are Reimu Hakurei.

>About eight minutes ago, you felt an ominous feeling, as if the barrier had been punctured. The feeling stopped soon after, but it didn't stop you from leaving the shrine to investigate.

>Upon doing so, you found two humans on the shrine path. Judging from their outfits, they did not appear to be from Gensokyo. Seconds after spotting them, the blonde haired one fainted. Rushing into action, you told the other outsider to bring her friend inside, where you both waited for the unconscious one to wake up. Which was about five minutes.

>You were just about to interrogate both of them when somebody began repeatedly ringing the bell above your donation box in an annoying manner.

>You head outside to investigate. Standing by your donation box is Yukari Yakumo, the Youkai of Boundaries, and, unfortunately, an annoyance that you are well acquainted with...

>"I was beginning to wonder how many rings it would take to bring you out here..." she says, opening a fan in front of her face, "Considering your current... 'financial issues'... I expected only once would've been enough..."
>Yukari chuckles.

>Sigh, of course it wasn't donations...

>You let out a sigh.
>Why can't it ever be money...

>"I was in the middle of something important. And I'm guessing that you're here to check that out as well?"
>"Oh, I know about the two humans from the outside world..." says Yukari, "I've been expecting them for a while, actually. They're quite early though... I honestly thought it would've taken them another three years, give or take..."

>"Why, Reimu, of course I know why they're here." Yukari smirks, "They should be here for the same reason I anticipated, which would be to satisfy their curiosity, and nothing more..."

>"Oh, I'm certain they won't. I bet they won't be able to do more harm than a resident of the human village... Besides, I'm sure they can't even shoot danmaku, let alone fly..." Yukari opens the fan once more, "Which brings me to my next point... I trust that you will make sure no harm comes to either of them for the duration of their stay?"

>You have a bad feeling that this is going to be a long day...



>You are Maribel Hearn.
>Reimu has just left to investigate the bell.
>You notice Renko seems a bit off, perhaps a little uneasy.

I don't even remember who put the above in my sig. [Wasn't me] Nor do I understand why I keep it here anymore.
Those two facts sum me up pretty well.

>Reimu scowls.
>"Do you really think I'm that stupid? I remember exactly where we were, it was just a figure of spee- Argh! Nevermind, I guess it doesn't matter anymore..." Reimu eyes both of you, "Apparently someone is interested in you, and I've just been told not to worry about you two causing trouble. Of course, that doesn't mean I trust you... Anyway, feel free to leave the shrine whenever you want... What were your names again?"

>"I'm Renko." says Renko.

>You introduce yourself to Reimu and check your satchel, seeing as you have everything, you stand up and hastily make your way towards the shrine entrance. However, Reimu blocks the way before you leave the room.
>"I hope you don't mind if I tag along." she says, "Like I said, I don't trust you. So, I'm going to keep an eye on both of you, just in case..."

>Recall any locations we remember from our dreams.
>You try to remember locations of interest...

>You recall being within a large mansion in one of your dreams, this is also the location where you glimpsed the maid.
>You also remember a large, labyrinthine bamboo forest. That particular dream, if you recall correctly, involved lots of aimless wandering whilst you attempted to gain your bearings. You saw the white haired girl shortly before this dream ended.
>You've also been in a large forest, there seemed to be an abundance of mushrooms within. You remember running away from youkai that could apparently sense you despite you not actually being physically present.
>One time you were on a hill, and could see what appeared to be a village in the distance, however, the dream ended before you could get there.
>You've also seen plenty of random fields and roads in your dreams.

>Unfortunately, you have no idea where any of these locations actually are in relation to each other, nor do you know where they are in relation to your current position.

>Examine Reimu.
>You look at Reimu.
>Her appearance has not changed. However, she seems to be carrying a gohei now.
>"What are you looking at?" she asks.
