> Say "Shanghai!" back. Await response.> Approach very slowly.
> "Shanghai Shanghai Shanghai Shanghai Hourai Hourai Hourai Hourai France Hollands Tibet Kyoto London Russia Orleans!"
>Presuming no reaction, there is only one solution: Pick a doll an give it a right proper huggin'.
> Preferably pick up a doll with the least lethal weapon...
>"This is the best military ever.">Yesterday's balance of violence must be repaid, violence must be countered with affection. More hugs!>Eventually: "Hey, you guys wanna help me play global hide and seek? Shanghai once for yes, twice for no."
>Of course something happens, karma is balanced~>"C'mon guys, I just wanted one for no, two for yes. You're making it all complex."
> "Meep...."> "Ummmm....hi? Should I...help you down? Those ropes look awfully uncomfortable..."
>Grimace. >"Gee, okay. I, um, guess you're drilling and stuff.">Do the hanging dolls seem any more aggressive?
>Check what they are hanging from, and see if there are any more.
>"SHANGHAI AND HOURAIS!!! TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!!!!"
>No that's mean, we haven't been invited and don't even know Utsuho. Lying is mean =[
>"Well, I guess I'm just getting in your way. I'll go back to looking for people now. Thanks for the hugs!">Try to make way out out of the hanging doll blockade without being shanked.>If no shanking occurs or seems to be on the horizon, give one a hug.
>"Um. You can come along if you want to change your minds! I'm trying to find that cat youkai and the elegant lady in purple I mentioned earlier. And I bet you guys would have fun playing hide and seek! You could think of it as a different kind of drilling!"
> Wave goodbye to the dolls.> Head up into the air to try and see if we can get a good view of potential hiding spots.
> "Think of it as... an assassination mission where you need to find the target!"
>Frown. >"I thought we were hug homies!">Fly up out of easy crossbowing range.
> Head for the village before a mini war breaks out.> Look around for potential places that Yukari and Chen could be in.> If nothing comes up, head for Kourindou.
> Head for the school.
