>Say nothing-for now.
>Consider-do we know if Sakuya has been caught with village danmaku in the past? From what Kiene said, it seems like a yes, but if we knew anything else that would be good.

>Look around. Can we see signs of her anywhere?
>"Oh, Sensei... Are you okay? No one was hurt, were they?"
>Hmm. Let's calculate this gamble and leave teacher catching for another time right now.
>How much do we know about barriers?
>Consider making a barrier which traps Danmaku inside, stopping them from leaving the shrine, for example.
>Might not be a bad idea, if Kanjou hasn't already set up something of that nature.

>Consider the obvious option first and consider heading to the SDM. Can we get there quickly (or at least before the sun sets)?
>Before going to SDM. Consider the direction she was heading when we met, what would we find that way?
>Can we head to SDM via the market? If Sakuya's not done her shopping yet, she might want to do that before heading back...
>Head toward the market. Maybe we'll get lucky. If she goes back to SDM, we'd likely be out of luck anyways.
>"And before I forget, I'll speak to you tomorrow after Kanjou has had his way with you.">Wait...what?
>Wait...what?
>Take a quick look-can we see Sakuya?

I agree with Mousse. Let's focus on mindgames and mysterious allure for now.Seconding the second (fourthing?).
>Do we know if Yuuka understands flower language(as in, the connotations of certain flowers used as a gift)?
>Do we know flower language?
>What does Yuuka think about uprooted or clipped/killed flowers for decoration or gifts, as opposed to keeping them potted or in the ground?
>Begin pursuit of our green-haired sadist. If we can't grope her, we can at least try to help the social link improve by any means within reason.
>As above, but don't dive for her. Keep three paces behind her, if we can. If she acknowledges us, reply politely.

>Intentionally.
>"Which stand?"
>"Lovely? Awww, I'm touched."
>Frown.
>"Where at? Time's running out!"
>Dangit.
>Consider the idea that Sakuya's time was running out before she needed to attend to her master.
>Also consider if she was running from Kiene.
>What's the weather like, currently?
>"Which way was she going?"
I really hope that french is mangled and wrong.Wait, why?
If you're quoting Meet the Spy, they mangled the French there too.

>"Isn't it funny how the prettiest things are always the ones right in front of our faces?"
>"Ma petite fleure c?leste <3"
>Get out of that side street and duck around a building!
>No, don't run. Lower your head in pretend shame, before walking off, throwing some fake tears to the ground because Yuuka rejected your frenchy advance?
>Or maybe run.
>Grope?Nah, just think about it.

>Do we know the voices?
>Open eyes. Try to figure out what's going on.

>Drink up!
>Awww, we missed Reisen?
>No! Eyes on the prize!

>"Okay, okay. It's just, I kind of have a time window to worry about..."
>Do we recognize this paper?

>Examine Kanjou.
>Groan.
>"What?"
>Consider possibility of running into Koakuma and/or Patchy while there.>Also consider chances of running into the Sister.
>Accept the task. Hey, at least now we have a reason to enter the mansion, right?
>Grin in the process.
>Consider possibility of running into Koakuma and/or Patchy while there.
>Also consider chances of running into the Sister.
>God damnit Yuuka(ri).
>Consider possibility of making amends with Sakuya-should we take the note with us?

>>How bad are our injuries now?
>"Also, before I go may I have some more of that green stuff?"
>Stick out our tongue at him.

>*winkwink*
>"You're a horrible flatterer, you know that? Keep it up."
>If he's got no more to add, it's time to head toward SDM!

>"So what sort of books are these, anyway?"
>Follow Kanjou over to wherever they are. Keep an eye on the sights, especially for appropriate targets.>Molest Kanjou.
>Oh, now he's just begging for it.
>"Why not?">Why WOULDN'T we?
>"So are they aphrodisiacs or love potions?"
>Before that: "No."
>"Well, what else would I actually be tempted to use?"
>"What sort of magic is it, at least?"
>"So how many books will I be returning?">"While we're on the subject, how many books has Marisa returned?"
>Is Kanjou usually this much of a wet blanket?
>Follow him in.
>Glance around room for objects of interest.

>Oh how disappointing...
>"Geez, sounds boring. Anyway, I'm off!"
>Begin walking away.
>Give a half-assed good bye wave as you walk off.
>Head toward SDM with all possible speeds!
>Relationship with Meiling
>See if you can surprise ChinaOh, wait...she's awake. Well, just drop by and say "Hello, I have a delivery for miss Patchouli!"
>"Nope, just a couple of books."
>"Though I did see Miss Sakuya at the market earlier, has she come back yet?"
>"I'm returning them for Kanjou, actually. Apparently he's got important stuff to take care of for now, so the miko becomes the errand girl."
>Shrug.
>Do I smell potential ally? Let's first check our social link with Meiling.
>>Would she assist us in any Sakuya-centric escapades if we let her take a crack at her as well?
>>Would she help us if we ever decide to target Remilia?
>>Would she offer us some non-meatshield protection from the Little Mistress?
>"What'd Sakuya tell you, anyways?"
>What do we know about the layout of SDM? What sorts of places can be found in and around it? Gardens? Galleries? Private hideaways?
>"Thanks Meiling!"
>Head inside, and toward the library. Might as well get rid of the dead weight before starting the real work~
> Were there any other hallways besides this one that we've passed?
> If so, head back and book it down the closest one.
>OSHIT. Grazegrazegrazegraze
> Were there any other hallways besides this one that we've passed?
> If so, head back and book it down the closest one.

>Motion for the little sister to come near, as if we're going to tell her a secret.
>Whisper. "I'm just scouting today. I have a plan, but it'll take me awhile to make it work."
>Pat Flan and ruffle her hair before you answer her.
>"Not today. My target is...this is our secret, okay?"
>Assuming she agrees, "I need to do some things with Sakuya. Shhhh. She can't know. No one can."
>What is Flan playing like, anyways?
>"If only you could, heh. But no, it's one of those things were if there's anyone else. But, you know what you could do to help?"
>Let the anticipation build.
>"You know Patchouli's familiar? Keep her distracted. Nothing big, flashy, or unusual. We can't have people know she's being distracted."
>Onward into the library ourself.
>Poor Koa, the sacrifices you make for us.
>Do we see Patchouli anywhere?
>What's our relation with her, and what is her status as a target?
>...It's probably a BAD idea to let her blast down the door.
>Calmly open it.
>Look around for signs of habitation.
>Atta girl.
>Continue to look around for Patchouli.
>"Why, are you hoping to talk me into it?"
>Look up.
>"Maybe."
>"But I'm actually here on business. I have something to return to you."
>Give her the books.
>"Oh, Kanjou said this one has some boring curse on it, so be careful when you open it."
>"Well it's a bad magic thing, so of course it's a curse."
>"What was that?"
>"Y'think they'll need any help?"
>"Do you know where Sakuya is?"
>"You sure are mean to people who do you favors for free, you know that?"
>Well, this is probably going to get in the way. Oh well...
>"Hey! How's it going?"
>What is our status with Marisa, and her status in our target book.
>"Gyah!"
>Dive aside. Or failing that, behind one of the others.
>Well, can't fight fate. Just lay there for now. We did take a spill.
>Hee hee.
>"I think so. The room's supposed to spin, right?"
>Get up. And take advantage of that process, we need to put our hands somewhere for balance.
>Kekekeke..
>Have a look at why there are stars everywhere.
>Well crap! Let's get out of those doors before we get shut in.
>In a quiet hiss: "Stick to the plan, remember?"
>Have we ever been able to deal with Flandre in a straight fight?
>In either event, run for it! Get some bookcases between the two of us!
>"Explosions during a race are cheatinf, Flan!"
>Keep booking it. (See what I did there?)
>"Races are not tag!"
>Try not to get hit if we can help it, and keep heading toward the door.
>"Kay!"
>Don't mind her, make with the escaping. And then help shut the door if needs be.
>Lean against the wall and catch our breath.
>Then look around and get our bearings. And look for signs of our prey...
>"Sakuya! How have you been?"
>Turn to greet her with a smile on your face, despite her unsightly disappearance earlier(dohohoho)
>"I was also returning some books on Kanjou's behalf."
Should we ask Sakuya about her disappearance earlier?
>Do we have any idea where Sakuya's room might be?
>Have we ever tried giving Sakuya advice on new ways to torment Remilia?
>Has Aya ever gotten photos of such incidents?
>"Marisa visited. And Flan was feeling rambunctious. It's probably best to let them handle it themselves."
>"I was also returning some books on Kanjou's behalf."
>Do we remember any of the titles we returned?
>Smile.
>"Please!"
>Follow that maid!
>"Sorry Keine gave you a hard time earlier, by the way."
>"No need to apologize, but it makes me happy you just did."
>Do we know where we're going?
>Walk inside, and glance around. "Oooh, nice and understated."
>"I'll have what you're having."
>Have a look around until Sakuya comes back.
>"Oh, nice."
>Let Sakuya have a seat, then take the seat next to her, rather than the typical across fashion.
>"Oh, she just shot at me a little bit; you know, the usual greeting around Gensokyo. She's cute as a button, anyways."
>Sample that tea.
>"Oh, I think you enjoy both things. And that's fine~"
>"Yeah, you're too crafty for me."
>Have a snack.
>"I'm happy you're able to take some time out to have tea with me, though. I was afraid you'd be too busy."
>"These are good. Did you make them?"
>"Oh, Kanjou wanted me take some books back. But, well, that's not why I came first thing."
>Rest our head on her shoulder.
>"Fighting's the last thing on my mind."
>Stay like that for a bit, see how she takes it.
>Yes, yesssss, the plan comes together...
>Put an arm around her waist, and hug,
>"If you want."
>Lift our head from her shoulder, and kiss her on the lips.
>Smile.
>"Don't worry, Sakuya. Everything is going to be fine."
>Move our face a bit closer.
>"You've done such a great job with this place, with everything. Let me do something for you for once, mm?"
>"Milady could what?"
>Get a bit closer.
>"She would be happy for you, wouldn't she? That you found someone who cares about you? Let's just enjoy things."
>If she doesn't seem like she's about to bolt, kiss her again.
>Eeeeeeeee!
>Slip her some tongue. We've been good today, and we deserve it.
>Let's put those hands to work, having so cruelly denied them all day. But start slow: Sides, back, running through hair, then work toward others things.
>Is Sakuya doing anything else, herself?
>We've shown what can be mistaken for hesitation today. It was, of course, cunning and calculation to get to this point. Let it no longer be mistaken that we're going for the gold. Don't be rough or too grabby. But it's time. And let Saukya do as she likes as well.
>"Let's..."
>Follow her lead.
>There's probably some play on words to be made with Maid and Maiden, but not like we could think of it right now whilst basking in the after glow.
>Squeeze that hand. "Would you have it any other way?"
>"Mmm."
>Snuggle up to Sakuya for a bit.
>"Whatever it is, it's nothing like what I'm feeling right now..."
>>Moar snuggles!
>"I guess, if you're worried about that, we don't have to tell them anything."
>Stretch over and kiss her on the anything nearby. Lips are preferred, but anything will do.
>"But I can tell you, you're welcome to come over to the shrine any~ time~ you~ like~"
>Punctuate the last few words with more kisses.
>"He better be, or I'll set his bed on fire."
>Give her a good hug squeeze, and enjoy some more afterglow for a few minutes.
>After the requisite time, ask, "You're happy you did this, right?" Be care to take a tone that's doesn't imply the opposite is true, because clearly it's not, but rather trying to prompt her to say something nice.
>Sigh.
>Whisper, "Pretend we're asleep, or are you going to timestop us out of this?"
>Do we recognize the voice?
>Stay braced for things to change suddenly.
>"Oh. Well, that's Patchouli's problem, right?"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...Also,
(Request something from me here and I will kill you.)
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
>"Oh well...Well, you don't have to go right now, do you?"
>"After all, I'm not sure about you, but I quite like snuggling like this."
>Snuggle up closer.
>Add this to our list of conquests when we get back.
>Sigh, give Sakuya one last kiss.
>"In that case, I'll return to the shrine. But whenever you need anything, you know where I am <3"
>Gather clothes.
>"Wait... which way should I take out again?"
>"And when can I expect to see you again? Or come to see you again?"
>Grin.
>"I will indeed."
>Get proper dressed and ready to go.
>Inventory
>"Let's."
>Follow her out.
>"You didn't keep me from anything, what could be more important?"
>Start for the door.
>"I hope so."
>Wink.
>"Ciao!"
>Exit.
>Aaaahhh, it's a good day.
>Glance toward the sky, try to estimate what time it is.
>Make our way toward home, get a nice strut to informer the haters of their role going. We've earned it.
>Quests
>Do we have sunglasses?
>If not, pretend we do.
>"Well, I suppose that's where her spell-card 'Sakuyas world' comes from..."
>Put sunglasses on.>"And then there was me."
>"...Actually wait no, this is in poor taste. I wish her the best and hope to see her again soon."
>"Lo, Meiling. Any problems out here?"
>"She does that. Just put it on her tab."
>Pause for a moment.
>"Hey, I've been wondering. When do you get time off?"
>"So pretty much no. That's a shame. What do you guys do at night?"
>"Yeah, for a certain kind of funny. Anyway, I'll see you later. Have a good day!"
>Depart townward, on foot.
>How far is it back to civilization, and foodstuffs?
>Do we know of any places along the way?
>...What is along the way, anyways?
>Fly on through if it's that much faster.
>Is there anything in the woodlands or the plain on the way back to town?
>Fly above the visible path-who knows what we might spot?
>Also what are we wearing?
>What colours can we identify from here?
>Moreover, do we know who it is?
>"Ohayo!"
>Welp.
>Slip up on her from behind, and...HUGS!
>"Hugs!"
>Squeeze!
>We did deliver the books, right?
>If so, say
>"Books got delivered, Cap'n!"
>Beam.
>Then administer tickles. We wouldn't want to disappoint bossman.
>Keep it up!
>And maybe subtly add Hatate to the list when an opening presents itself.
>What is our relation and exploitation status with Hatate?
>Have we ever made out with anyone in front of Kanjou?
>Oh well, he's encouraging us: Let's keep tickling, at least. Maybe sneak a little squeeze on those mounds of hers~
>"Awww. And it was just getting good."
>Let her go. Reluctantly. Try to avoid retaliation.
>And poke her in the side.
>"Thanks, boss. What's going on, anyways?"
>Glance at Hatate for emphasis.
>"What kind of loose ends?"
>Do we know what he's talking about?
>If not: "Huh?"
>It wouldn't do to have Aya hurt... those photos are great to have!
>Do we know where the/an entrance to the Underground is, should we wish to follow?>Ponder the bust size of these anonymous oni.
>So does that mean we're part of the Kanjou Mafia now?>Mafia? You're pretty sure he wouldn't run such a thing. Though he does have [SPOILERS!]
>"You sure she's gonna be OK down there?"
>"So who is this oni, anyways? I mean, they don't just pop out of thin air. ...Do they?"
>"Anyone I'd recognize?"
>"Sure thing. We expecting anyone to come by?"
>"I'll hold down the fort, then, unless there's some emergency."
>"Yeah, yeah, lemme get changed."
>Head inside!
>Head to our room, take appropriate measures against interlopers, and change into our shrine maiden garb.
>Return to the front of the shrine.
>Assuming Kanjou's there, says, "You happy now? I'll watch this dump, you go do your thing."
>Frown.
>"You did, because you were talking about empty shrines and stuff."
>Take a cupcake! Devour!
>Do we associate strawberries with anything in particular?
>"Mmm, awesome."
>Try for another one.
>Do we have any idea where he might have gotten these? If not, ask.
>Through mouthfuls of cupcake: "Yeah, if you were going to leave, it'd be empty. If you were staying, it wouldn't be."
>"Oh, who sent 'em?"
>"I got your books back, I didn't open the boring cursed one before you asked, Marisa dropped in, Flandre decided to play, and I got to have a nice spot of tea with Sakuya. It was a nice visit."
>Teehee.
>"And why would I tell you that? We just thought it was best to let Marisa and Patche handle it, since it was their fault anyways."
>"I dunno, that little devil probably causes some trouble, too."
>Get our game face on.
>What do we usually end up doing with kids?
>Do we recognize any of them?
>Let the little buggers approach.
>"Hey kids! How was class?"
>"Well, you know how weird fashion can be. What'd you all learn in class today?"
>Laugh.
>"The lesson is, don't fire off danmaku in town. Unless you're Yuka."
>Lead them over toward a nice place on the grounds for them to play.
>Are there enough cakes to feed the munchkin horde?
>Look at sleeve-tugger.
>Do we know of a Kazami besides Kazami Yuuka?
>Frown: "Which Kazami?"
>To the group, "Line up, I'll give you each one."
>Go distribute pastries. One per kid.
>"Oh, hey Sensei. What brings you?"
>"Did you think something was going to happen to them? They shouldn't have anything to worry about in town."
>"I know. It's just... I've been getting a little restless lately.">
>...
>"Why, what's been bothering you?"
>Must be that time of the month, eh?Sorry, sorry. I should be hanged for that.
>"Trust me, you've got nothing to worry about. I'm sure they'll be okay!"
>Offer whatever tea you have in hand
>"And if it's anything big, you know Li'l Reirei's going to on it it was a free buffet."
>Has anything bad happened lately?
>"So we can mostly just relax. And make sure they don't mess with Yuka..."
>Offer Keine a pasty.
>Precious flowers of the future they are...the li'l cake-grubbing jerks.
>"What has been happening lately, Sensei? You're usually on top of these things."
>"You look like I'm going to really hate what I have to say next."
>"Well the kids left..."
>Sigh, look around.
>"Quiet before the storm is all I can think of... wait."
>Can we see any villagers passing by? Any signs of life?
>Observe this empty scene. Try to pick out of anything seems off.
>"An illusion?"
>"Awww, you should have let be break it!"
>"So who did that, anyways?"
>Look around for suspects.
>That wasn't us, was it?
>What do we know of Yukari and Reimu? They're technically both candidates, after all!
>"What, you mean Reimu?"
>Kanjou might appreciate the joke, at least...
>"What was that ghost thing, though?"
>Did the ghost look molestable?
>A little playfully: "Careful with the tea, Keine!"
>"Yeah, I saw some ghosty thing when Kanjou got rid of the barrier or whatever it was. But it vanished really fast."
>"You really like doing that, don't you birdbrain?"
>Look toward the voice.
^My thoughts exactly.
>"So how do we make it reappear?
>Actually, it's probably safe to assume that whatever Kanjou did disrupted the barrier and made the shrine reappear to the rest of the village. How easy that was for him is a more difficult question, and probably not one to discuss with Aya here.Edited to conform with quote
>Making the kids vanish wouldn't be Reimu's style. Making a rival vanish, on the other hand...
>It's probably safe to assume that whatever Kanjou did disrupted the barrier and made the shrine reappear to the rest of the village. How easy that was for him is a more difficult question, and probably not one to discuss with Aya here.
>Nab that paper while everyone's paying attention to Aya.
>"So it just looks like it's gone outside? Is there any earth or anything?"
>Frown, check where the paper fell with our foot.
>Do we know about sensei's history eating?
>"Yukari, get out here!"
>"Hey 'Kari baby, what's with making the shrine and my paper disappear, huh?"
>"Ow!"
>Rub face. Then grin at Yukari.
>"So, you were watching out for me after all, hmmmm?"
>"Oh, 'Kari can't help but watch me sometimes."
>Is she beside us? Throw an arm around her.
>Can we see through the gap enough to see what she's wearing? If anything? Hopefully not!
>Give Yukari a companionably squeeze of the platonic nature.
>"What'd you do with her?"
>"And go fishing?"
>"That's pretty impressive for a bunch of faeries."
>Give Yukari's shoulder a rub. "You're so kind to protect us from the likes of them."
>"Would you like me to try my best?"
>"Depends on where, doesn't it?"
>Wink.
>Wide eyes, and probably jump a bit! Whether or not we're morally alright with this sort of thing, a surprise assault is a surprise assault!
>Is Yukari reacting at all?
>Recompose!
>"Well then....did you like what you found?"
>Welp. We have a hand on her shoulder, she's distracted...go for the gold.
>This wouldn't be the first time we've been pichun'd in the pursuit of our goals.
>As such, don't stop until the explosions throw us clear.
>Bliss.
>Well, we had to get lasered sometime. Might as well enjoy the ride until then.
>"Oh 'Kari..."
>Is she blushing yet?
>Move. Toward the Gap Hag.
>Given we've been nuked by Utsuho in the past, does this gap really worry us?
>There is only one solution.
>We still have a free hand. Wrap it around Yukari and give her a big ole hug.
>"You were a highlight of my day."
>A highlight. Teehee...
>"Uhhhh...I don't think it was supposed to feel like that..."
>Try to look around.
>Note to self: save Yukari seducing to a candlelight dinner.
>Double note: No seducing people who can destroy the shrine-in the shrine.
>How old did Yukari feel?
>Move closer-what does the building look like?
>Does this place look familiar at all?
>Are we alone?
>"Hey, are you alright?"
>Look in the direction where the shrine should be, in relation to Kourindou.
>"You really shouldn't have gotten in the way of that."
>Do we see any signs of Yukari or gaps around?
>"You didn't have to, I've had worse. But thank you. Now come on, let's get you back home."
>Go to over him a hand, or something to lean on.
>"Inside here?"
>Start back toward town.
>"Oh, that. Right."
>Continue on back toward town.
>Do we know that voice?
>Either way, look back.
>What is our friendship and acquisition status of Tokiko?
>"Hey, what's up?"
>Glance at Kanjou, then back to Tokiko.
>"What for?"
>"Feel up to it, boss?"
>"Well yeah, but you took a train, so no one would blame you if you refused."
>Follow that bird!
>"Levels balanced? Huh?"
>"Oh."
>Do we have any of this energy level malarky?
>Head for the shop.
>Walk inside, have a look around.
>"Hey there! What'd you want?"
>"How long, and what's in it for us? And why can't Tokiko do it?"
>Is there a clock? Check the time.
>"He's not dead, is he?"
>"So, want me to watch the store?"
>"Sure thing!"
>Head out the door before he can change his mind.
>Back to the Shrine!
>Does this seem to be a hostile gesture?
>"Hello, Sensei!"
>Smile.
>"I was too much for her! Let's go see."
>"Let's her her inside and laying down properly, huh?"
>Move to do this thing!
>Are Yukari's clothes in good condition? Perhaps we could give her a change~
>See if we can pick her up: Bridal carry, if possible. If she's too much, ask Keine for help.
>"Oh if something bad happens, you can just make a light snack of it. Besides, do you really want to be around when she wakes up?"
>"Yeah, he'll be here in a bit. He just needs to do a thing first."
>Carry her inside.
>Haul her inside, and place her in a convenient bed. Preferably ours.
>Would our extra changes of clothes fit her?
>... actually, is our current outfit in decent condition after that train incident?
>"Yukaaaaariiii, wake up~"
>About how long were we probably out over that?
>Check her pulse, then her temperature via forehead.
>Then smooth her hair, just a bit.
>Gently say, "Yukari, time to wake up."
>Smile at her. Take a gentle tone.
>"Good afternoon. How are you feeling, Yukari?"
>"What are you seeing?"
>"I like to think of it as a miracle. Are you hurt anywhere?"
>"It makes me happy you're alright. I'd feel awful if something happened to you..."
>"I like to think I just fit in with the crowd."
>Grin.
>"So, did you like what you felt?"
>"Well, you caught me off guard, so it's not as though I could really get into it. And Kanjou and Sensei were right there...though I guess the second one isn't a bad thing..."
>Pause for a moment. "What mark?"
>"Yeah, what mark? I haven't had time to check a mirror yet."
>Do so!
>"Huh..."
>Probably blush a bit, we were walking around with that kind of thing showing.
>"So...you didn't answer my question."
>"Oh, in your case?"
>Beam.
>"Completely worth it! And you?"
>"Well...I didn't have time to really find out."
>Smile.
>"But I wouldn't mind trying it again."
>Lean into her hand a bit.
>"I wouldn't dream of it~ You wouldn't hide anything from me, would you?"
>"I was surprised, but I think it would have been great if not so short. So yeah, I think I liked it after the surprise part."
>Hold her hand to our cheek and snuggle up next her.
>"Maybe you should ask again?"
>"Can you keep it secret?"
>Assuming she agrees.
>Shift a bit. "I'm really not supposed to say, but...it was Sakuya..."
>This is definitely a trap.
>Close eyes anyways, we're an optimist...
>Can we identify that noise?
>Does passing though a gap have any sensation of motion to it?
>Well, we'll wait for it. Let our ears do the seeing for now.
>Very subtly peek.
>Sigh.
>We'll just have to bring this up next time.
>Might as well tidy up a bit. We are expecting company tonight...
>Examine this hovering thing.
>Does it have a shape or a size or apparent texture?
>Does it look at all familiar?
>How much experience have we had with non-Youmu ghosts? Positive or negative?
>Can ghost-like things actually be touched?
>If so, reach up and try to help the little guy out of the corner.
>Draw hand back.
>"Geez, sorry."
>Look around.
>"'Kuya? That you?"
>"H-hello?"
>"Huh?"
>Call out: "Just a minute!"
>Quickly change into some new shrine maiden clothes. Or our causals if this is the only Shrine maiden outfit we have.
>Hurry out to deal with our visitor.
>Did we recognize the voice?
>Do we have any idea what the bandaged arm and shackle would imply about her?
>Raise an eyebrow.
>"Heya. May I help you?"
>"Sorry about that, my other clothes are kind of a mess and I needed to get changed."
>"Not today, no. What do you what with them?"
>"Ghost in the corner?"
>DOES Reimu clean her shrine, to our knowledge?
>"Not a ghost? My mistake, then, it does look like one. What WAS that, then?"
>Frown.
>"Might be lucky Kanjou wasn't here, then."
>Look up.
>"Would it be able to hear us right now?"
>We have observed her physique via peripheral vision. Evaluate her tracts of land without direct ogling.
>"Also, what's your name?"
>Bow politely, "I'm Shino. Welcome to this shrine."
>Nod. "But that's okay, I'm kind of new, too."
>"So, you wanted to see where the spirit was? This way, please."
>Lead her inside.
>If the spirit is not obviously somewhere in the room, gesture toward where it was and say, "That's where I saw it."
>"Well, I thought it was stuck, so I thought I'd take it outside. Then things went all strange when I touched it..."
>"No, but I heard a voice saying weird stuff..."
>Frown. This is unencouraging.
>"Um, things about stuff unseen and undoing magic and despair..."
>"I'm not sick, am I?"
>"Are they the ones that busted up your arm?"
>"Ooooh! I though you were..."
>Well. Now she is a valid target.
>"So what do we do now?"
>"Might as well let them get it out of their systems, if you ask me."
>Who's the 'those two' having fights that she's talking about?
>Smile.
>"Well, it brought you here, didn't it?"
>Do we have any back-up shrine maiden outfits?
>If so: "Not really, my clothes kinda need to be patched up."
>"It's better to invest in the shrine than vanities like clothes, isn't it?"
>"Oh, and what have the papers said about me, hmm? Is that really the kind of thing you should be saying to someone you're asking for help?"
>"So, we just need to find the Red White and the other one? Not going to tell me anything about the spirits or whatever?"
>"Well, before I blow it up, you should at least tell me what it is. "
>Approach her, as if we were trying to get a better look at it/where it was.
>"So it's just like those things that cat underground likes to control?"
>Did it feel warm when we touched it?
>"Yeah, it wasn't too bad, after we got that silly crow back under control. Why?"
>Giggle.
>"Well, it'd be nice to know where I can find you if I need you?"
>Would Kanjou mind if we just took off for this kind of situation?
>Walk out with her.
>"So, are these little guys actually causing any real problems?"
>"What was that?"
>Position ourselves so she'll have to walk past us to leave.
>"Thank you very much."
>As she walks by, induct her to the list.
>Follow our instincts, they've never mislead us before.
>Let nature take it's course.
>"Not so tight, now..."
>"Uhhhh..."
>Does she seem to be lingering at all?
>Take it. Try to shake off the dizzies and the hurting.
>What feels weird about it?
>Oh well, let her help us to our feet.
>"You're arm's kind of funny..."
>Wave.
>"I'm glad you wish Reimu was more like me!"
>Assess floor damage.
>Massage our wounds.
>Do we have the around the shrine to fix the hole?
>Frown.
>Prod this sign.
>Then look around.
>Read that note!
>Does the second part resemble any handwriting we know?
>"Oh 'Kari, I knew you still cared."
>Which one? The place is lousy with 'em recently.
>Turn to face the newcomer. "Welcome back, you alright?"
>"What? Are you kidding? I did so well I even got us some donations just a minute ago!"
>"These things happen, you know."
>Did we ever collect up the latest paper?
>Didn't Aya deliver a new one before the Yukaricaust?
>"It was probably Yukari. You know how she is."
>"Mmm, maybe. So, what's been happening today?"
>Try to figure out where the Kakashi Spirit News got off to.
> "Any new .... fun?"
>"Not always, just when the opportunity arises."
>"So have you heard anything about those weird ghosts that aren't ghosts?"
>"Which Youkai?"
>Let's not jump on that double entrende. Or point out she's a youkai, too.
>How have our experiences with That Puppeteer been?
>We cannot be content with mere boasts.
>"Maybe I'll ask her about it. It is pretty weird there's fake ghosts showing up all over. Oh, hey, do you know where Reimu and Sanae were? That Kasen woman was after them."
>"Huh, maybe. Have they been up to anything recently?"
>"Probably not, then. Oh well. Keep an eye open for them?"
>How long would it take to get to Casa de Alice from here?
>Oh they know not to get in our way~~
>"I think I'm going to go see what Alice has to say, in the meantime. And maybe look around that one place where Sanae was."
>Find some paper and leave a note for Kanjou: "Incident Brewing? Be back later -S <3"
>Place the note somewhere where he can find it, and head toward Alice's!
>Is Aya faster than us? If so: "You're faster. We'll get there sooner if you carry me."
>"I could always just hold on to you."
> Mental image: riding along on her back, with our arms wrapped around ... her front~ ...
>"More importantly..." *blush* "Aren't I 'something interesting'?"
> "Awwww, fine~!"
>"Are you calling me fat?"
>Dark look. We gotta milk this for a moment.
>"Awww, I was just hoping to trick some compliments out of you."
>Onwards!
>Shoulder pat. "Of course!"
>Into the forest!
>Look around. Which was was it again?
>"Hey, w-wait up!"
>Follow her.
>Now how do we lure an alice towards us?...
>Follow that birdbrain!
>"Aya!"
>Guard up, look around-can we see any trace of anything that might have attacked Aya?
>Look around. What is the string connected to?
>Go check if Aya's fine before examining the string
>Do we recognize the string type? doll strings, perhaps?
>Just check Aya from where we are; we don't want to spring the trap on ourselves.
> We don't want to string the trap, either!
>Aya's out cold? Well then, here's our chance...
>Steal her wallet.
>Did she react?
>Have a look through it.
>"Hello Miss Doll!"
>Rummage through that wallet.
>Examine the photos, then the paper.
>Take a quick look at the paper.
> Get ready to flee. Just in case you can't talkor gropeyour way out of this.
>"Hey, we're just visiting!"
>Put the letter back, and if time permits before being lance'd, replace the wallet.
>"Hey! I said we're just visiting!"
>"Alice is going to get upset if you get broke for no reason, so just back off!"
>"We're just here to talk with Alice about that weird power she felt, geez!"
>"Thanks, let me make sure Aya's going to be okay, first."
>Does she seem better than before?
> Puff up cheeks in annoyance.
> "Jeez, I was just going to check on her!"
>How danmaku-capable are we, anyways?
>"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to insist on looking after her. Move aside, please."
>Approach the dolls. If they do not move aside, push past them (or duck under if that'd be easier.) If any give us trouble, they get the danmaku.
>"I told you, I need to look after her!"
>Turn, give them a few more purple waves, and move when we have to.
>What do we know about Alice and Marisa's relationship? And what both of them think of us, and Aya?
> Consider the utility of screaming.
>"Get these stupid things off me!"
>Fire on those who keep hassling us.
> Yep, time to scream now.
>God damnit Aya.
>"Marisa! Make sure Alice turns off these defences, ok?!"
>Spell cards list
> We've already had enough of a beating from Yuuka lately so we don't really want to leave it all to that Marisa whom we're not sure even heard us, do we?
> Gotta buy us some time and safety for now, so use Wave of Romance to attempt to blow away the exploding dolls, maybe even follow Marisa in if we get a chance to.
>Cancel the card and take a moment to get our breath, if the dolls aren't giving us any trouble anymore.
>Danmaku shooting stop.
>Alice? or did somebody else beat us here?
> Watch Alice and Marisa.TARGET LOCK ACQUIRED
>Check if she's still where we left her before or if she's really just vanished.
>No wonder if that were the case, seeing as Alice put up a defence system specially for her, do we know exactly what Aya was trying to achieve here?
>Look toward Aya for a moment; is she still where we left her? If so, is she obscured from Alice.
>If Alice is distracted, nab that camera.>Try to pocket it, if we can-we don't want Alice thinking we are going to photo her.
>If Alice is distracted, nab that camera.
>Try to pocket it, if we can-we don't want Alice thinking we are going to photo her.
>Why were we looking for alice again?
>Do we really want Alice to know Aya was here with... disregard that, checking the pictures in the camera for any relevant to our interests is our top priority right now.
>Pretend to go look for Aya and find a safe spot to eye the camera content (if we manage to snatch it) in order to avoid trouble with either sides.
> RADIATE INNOCENCE!
> And ... quickly decide whether to reveal that Aya was ever here.
> Remind us, what's our status on conquest of Marisa and/or Alice?
>Considering Aya's infamy here, it would probably be best to pretend we got distracted and set off the defences accidentally when coming over to investigate the incident. She gives us nice pictures from time to time, too.
>Attempt to take out the piece of paper in our pocket while we turn around, pretending we were just looking for it after dropping it mid-fight.
>We don't need to do anything so complex.
>"I was just checking something real quick. So, I've heard you've been feeling weird powers? Maybe it's connected to those fake ghosts running around?"
>"Heehee."
>Ahem.
>"So, what did you feel?"
>What do we know about Alice's past, and her Grimoire?
>"An old wave of magic or a wave of old magic?"
>"What kind of trace?"
>"You're being mysterious. What kind of place are you talking about?"
>What do we know of Makai?
>"That's bad, isn't it?"
>"She loves you too, Alice."
>"Depends on what? What're you two talking about?"
(Let's see, what's the most Shino-ish response to this ...)
> Ponder power perversion potential.
> Add quest: Determine if we can gain control over this power to spy on all of Gensokyo!
> In the meantime, affect concern. "So someone from Makai's spying, huh? Who could it be?"
>"And why?"
> "... I hate it when people do that!!"
>"Guess I'll be checking out Makai? If I can even get there..."
>Look toward where Marisa went. Do we see any sign of her, or whatever's in that direction?
>"I'm guessing you don't want to talk about it though, huh?"
>"Then how'd you suppose people like Marisa can enter? Is there some special requirement?"
>"Alright, but you don't have to be so pushy."
>Do as she says and head back, but at the same time devise a plan.
>Try to be more sensitive to her emotions next time.
>Let's not leave yet.
>"Wait. If things are getting out of there, doesn't that mean it's not actually sealed anymore?"
>We were on that ship, right?
>Then how did we get back?
> Add quest, to be followed at our convenience: Determine what happened there, and/or whether our memory can be restoredby groping someone
>"If you say so, Alice, But there's apparently kind of a lot of them, I don't think they could have all hid..."
>"No. Um, how long has it been?"
>"Because I'm a friend. Don't worry."
>Approach. And if she doesn't shy away, put a hand on her shoulder. "You can whisper it, if you want."
>Can't give the crows too much bait.
> "Huh? What do you mean?"
> KER-INNOCENT!
> Consider the possibility of pretending we have multiple personalities, and the "innocent" one is unaware of all the lewd stuff committed by the other(s). (In fact, this might be useful if Sakuya decides to ... follow up, and is wondering how faithful we've been.) Consider who would actually fall for it, too ...
>"Yes it does, Alice, or you wouldn't be like this over the whole thing."
>Shoulder squeeze.
>"Even if it looks insignificant, it can still be very important for other reasons."
>Give her a hug. We'll keep prevertedness to a minimum for the time being.
>"No one's strong all the time. No one's invincible."
>Back pat.
>"Just let it all out, and tell me what you want."
>Switch up the backpat with a more comforting rub.
>"Who do you want to hear from? Someone from Makai?"
>Smile at her.
>"It's not obvious to me. But I guess if you don't want me to know, that's fine."
>"If she's that important, there's nothing wrong with wanting to hear from her again. I mean, even when you leave family behind, no one expects you to toss them out of your heart forever, right?"
>"She didn't approve of you coming here, huh?"
>Give a proper hug.
>Hug.
>"No one could blame you for feeling bad about that, it's just a bad situation for everyone. Probably couldn't even send a message back, if Makai is sealed and stuff."
>"What about her?"
>Release hug, but still keep a good comforting grip on her shoulders.
> Hmm. Potential angle of leverage, at least in making her feel better: If there hasn't even been the possibility of any communication whatsoever, how does she know that her mother-figure was/is angry?
>"I know just the lesson you should teach, too."
>"Well, I can do that too, if you want."
>C'mon, give us the green light!
>"But, I was thinking, you write a letter for your mother, then make Reimu deliver it, and then bring back a reply. Barriers aren't a real problem for her, after all."
>"Hey, give me some credit, I haven't done anything to you now, have I?"
>Frown, and ponder for a moment. "About the barrier, is that okay to do? I mean, I don't know anything about Makai, so I don't know if the barrier's there for a reason or if it just got put there because it seemed like a good idea at the time or what."
>"What kind of Youkai?"
>Do we know Reimu to be a killing sort?
>"Well, some are pretty dangerous, but I see your point. Look, I can't promise you that, I just don't know enough about everything that happened. But at the very least, we're going to make it so you to come and go freely, okay?"
>Ruffle her hair a bit. "Well, I don't like seeing friends be sad. And it seems like a pretty reasonable request."
>"Yeah, you should probably find a way to take them off high alert like that. So, you're feeling better, right?"
>Is her back turned?
>Welp, if she's feeling better, and has her back turned...let's go for the gold, from behind!
>"I'm glad you're feeling better!"
>"Don't you want to save those?"
>Run for it! We'll come back for Aya later.
>Don't run. Deal with the dols. We should make sure Alice knows we were serious about what we said.
>"Come on, Alice, I was just playing!"
>Run. We've had enough 'splodes today. But do shout that.
>Look back.
>If the coast is clear, slow down.
>Let's double back and find that tengu.
>"Gotcha."
>Head right.
> Feel a momentary stab of guilt for taking advantage of Alice's feelings like that.
> Which is to say, it is the guilt that is getting stabbed.
Before that,
> "It went verrrrrry well!"
> Grin like the cat who ate the canary. And grabbed its chest.
>"Well, she thinks these things came back with the buddhists' ship out of Makai. And how're you feeling?"
>"Do you need to lean on my shoulder?"
>"I'd just feel bad if you walked into a tree."
> If upper back is available, wrap your arm all the way around so that one hand can go on her chest.
>How often do we get to molest Aya, anyway?
>"Only sometimes."
>Let her get an arm around us, and put one around her upper back. Or waist, if she has appendages in the way of her upper back.
> If upper back is available, wrap your arm all the way around so that one hand can go on her chest.
>Don't do this just yet. We have torturing to do, first. In fact, let's start on that!
>"Soooo...what's this I hear about you keeping a picture of me with you, mmmmm?"
>"Don't you go around pinching your gravy train like that. and, it's really picked up that much? Why?"
>"Oh I think you know what I'd like. But it's good to be appreciated."
>Head leftward.
>What's toward the left, anyways?
>"Not in a million years. But...do you always keep pictures of your best customers with you? Who was in there before me, hmm?"
>Give her a hug with the arm we got around her. "Well I give you credit."
>"In fact, when we get back, I could show you just how much credit your worth."
>"Then we don't tell them, and they won't know."
>Grin.
>"Besides, are you really telling me that you're not tempted?"
>"Why isn't it that simple?"
>"Would you get into trouble?"
>"That's not what I asked, though."
>"Well, you're welcome to come rest at the shrine. I do mean that without any undertones."
>Grin.
>"Unless you prefer them, anyways."
>"Go lay down somewhere!"
