Yukari Quest, continued?!

[Darkoda]

>"Then that means the trip to Higan is necessary. The Yama's lectures were one thing that I did not miss."
>"Today has been most interesting; I have lots to tell you over a few games of Mahjong."
>Regale Yuyuko of our exploits over said game and snacks when Youmu returns.
>Keep track of how long it's been since we arrived at Mayohiga; we should check in on the gods after two hours.

>"Why Higan?"
>"Don't we need another to play?"
>The two of you enter and simply chat about your exploits for the day whilst Chen sleeps on a nearby sofa. Yuyuko tells you that the Netherworld is now, more or less, as it has always been.
>Eventually, Youmu returns carrying two gourds of Sake. She bows before placing them before you.
>It has been roughly an hour since you returned to Mayohiga.

[Darkoda]

>"There aren't many places a soul might end up. Satori wishes to come with me when I investigate Higan, and I'll have to go there at some point anyway in case it's sealed up."
>How many people do we normally play with, three or four?
>Did we tell Yuyuko about the Palaquin ship crew? If not, do so.
>Make a note to check in on the Moriya crew in the next half-hour.

>"Soul? You mean to say that hell raven is dead? I see..."
>Mahjong is made to be played with four people.
>You tell Yuyuko about what happened to the crew of the Palanquin ship.
>"I see. I was wondering what they were doing here."
>You tell yourself that you plan to check on your other guests in the near future.

[Darkoda]

>"Nitori believes that she can resurrect her if she can get her soul, and I can't leave something like that alone."
>"But now we have all the members for our game. Oh Ran~"
>We did intend to have fun tonight after all. Get Ran and Youmu seated and let the games begin.

[Shadoweh]

I don't remember what we wanted Yuyuko for >.>; It was Kanjou's idea.

>We did intend to have fun tonight after all. Get Ran and Youmu seated and let the games begin.

>You call for Ran, who enters the room.
>"Yes, master?"
>Youmu gasps audibly upon seeing Ran's arm, and Yuyuko appears to be rather shocked as well.
>Ran looks away, and there is an awkward silence until Yuyuko speaks up.
>"Well, let's have some fun."
>Although the game is still a bit awkward at first, it's not long before you all begin to have fun as you did before.
>You spend the next half hour chatting about trivial matters while playing mahjong with Yuyuko, Youmu, and Ran, with Chen spectating.

[Darkoda]

>Shouldn't we be capable of doing something about Ran's arm? Do we feel up to playing with the border of past and present to just rewind Ran's body to before she lost the arm?
>Or the border of whole and severed on her arm itself.
>Even if we need full power, it's not as if we don't know someone capable of helping out with that.....

>"Whoops, time to check in on the Moriya Shrine."
>Can we create a small gap to a location to save energy and widen it after if needed? If so, make a small gap to Moriya Shrine and poke our head out.
>If not, just make a gap to the area and step through, holding the gap open.
>"Hello again~"

>Unfortunately, at the present the only person capable of restoring Ran's arm would be one with unparalleled medical knowledge.
>"Ah, come back soon then."
>"Safe travels, master."
>Yuyuko waves at you and Ran gives you a small bow.
>You cannot. Your small gaps lead to an alternate space that you use for storage.
>You open up a gap to the Moriya shrine and step through it, leaving it open once you're through.
>Outside the Moriya shrine, you see Kanako standing as though waiting for you.
>"Hello."

>_

[Darkoda]

>Well that's why we're going to Eientei.
>"So, have you come to a decision?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Well that's why we're going to Eientei.
>"So, have you come to a decision?"

>You did plan to visit there sometime in the near future.
>"We wish to commend your efforts and offer our support in achieving your goals. However, we shall remain here."

[Darkoda]

>Eh, fair enough. They shouldn't get themselves sealed again that quickly; two gods and a divine shrine maiden should be able to take care of themselves.
>"I see. Then good luck in your future endeavours."
>Back to Mahjong times. This is our first gaming night in two years and we are going to enjoy it!

>You figure that they can at least put up a fight.
>"The same to you.
>You step back through your gap into your living room.
>"Welcome back, master."
>"That was fast, how did things go?"
>Both Ran and Yuyuko greet you as you come back. Youmu appears to be attempting to Chen the basics of mahjong.

>_

[Darkoda]

>"They decided to stay at their shrine. I suppose after being seperated for so long, they want as much of a sense of normalcy as they can get."
>We certainly can't fault them for that.
>Watch Chen's progress. "I didn't know that you were interested in Mahjong. So, do we have a new prodigy among us?~"

>"I see. Send them my regards if you see them again."
>You certainly can't.
>"This is hard, nya!"
>Chen throws her arms up into the air.

[Darkoda]

>"It takes some time, but when you get past the basics, it becomes easier. It just takes patience~"
>How did we teach Ran how to play Mahjong? Maybe the same will work on Chen.

>"I'd rather just watch."
>Chen goes back to lying on the sofa.
>Ran learnt how to play by herself rather quickly.

[Darkoda]

>Ah well. Back to Mahjong until we break up for the night
>Fast Forward to tomorrow unless someone else has something to say.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Ah well. Back to Mahjong until we break up for the night
>Fast Forward to tomorrow unless someone else has something to say.

>You play a few more rounds of mahjong until Yuyuko and Youmu take their leave.
>You yourself decide to call it a day and change into your nightwear before falling asleep in your bed.
>You fall asleep almost immediately. It's been another busy day, after all.
>You rub your eyes as some light from your curtains spills onto your face.

>_

[Darkoda]

>This day's going to be even longer all things considered.
>What time is it?
>What's our relationship with the Higan group? With Eientei and Mokou?
>Perform standard morning procedures and get ready to start the day. We did tell Ran last night that she and Chen were coming along this time.
>Ask one of the Palaquin ship crew how their search for Nue and whatever else they're up to is going.

>You certainly are a busy person.
>You'd guess that it is around 8AM.
>Pretty bad on all counts.
>You've tended to avoid Higan and have very little contact with its inhabitants.
>You dislike lunarians and lunarians dislike you. This has not helped in creating a meaningful bond between yourself and the group at Eientei.
>Your relationship with Mokou is neutral, at best.
>You change back into your normal clothes and freshen up.
>You can hear noise coming from your kitchen.
>Who do you wish to ask?

>_

[Shadoweh]

> Did we find out Mokou and Kaguya are hearts in jars?
> Go to the kitchen and see what's cookin'!

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Did we find out Mokou and Kaguya are hearts in jars?
> Go to the kitchen and see what's cookin'!

>You did.
>You head over to the kitchen to see Ran, Shou, and Chen making sandwiches with various fillings.
>Upon seeing you enter, Ran bows immediately.
>"Good morning, master."

[Darkoda]

>Assuming that Nitori didn't mess up their regeneration, letting them out should fix them. At least we know how we're getting Eirin to fix Ran's arm.
>Of course, we'd need to actually visit Nitori first and make sure that she can fix them
>How low are the odds that Eirin will believe us if we offer her fixing up Ran for us finding Kaguya?
>....Better question, is it reasonable to believe that Eirin will try to kill us as soon as we show up?
>"Good morning everyone."
>"How goes the search for Nue?"
>Note: Before we leave, get our bag and toss it in a pocket gap. We need something to hold our stuff when we go gap-diving again.

>Sometimes the simplest solutions turn out to be the best ones. You wonder if Nitori tried that.
>Exchanges usually don't tend to work out very well if one party can't deliver.
>You have no idea.
>Again, you have no idea.
>Chen and Shou both return a friendly "Mornin'".
>"I haven't asked Hijiri about it. You would have to talk to her or Nazrin if you want to find out."
>You make a note to grab another bag and shove it into your small gap. It could come in handy later.

[Darkoda]

>"I'll have to remember to ask them when we run into each other again."
>Get breakfast
>"Bring some extra sandwiches Ran; we're liable to be out all day and pick up a couple extra members along the way."
>Time to get to the human village?
>From the human village/Kourindou to Eientei?

>You grab a sandwich for yourself and begin eating it as you give Ran an extra order.
>"Understood, master."
>From Mayohiga, it would take around an hour to get to the human village.
>From the human village, it would take around an hour to reach Eientei.

[Darkoda]

>Get that bag and stick it in a gap
>Wait for Ran and Chen to get ready, eat, etc.
>When everyone's ready, fly off to the village.

[Shadoweh]

> Tell Shou where we're going before we leave.

[Darkoda]

>We already put our umbrella in a gap right? If not, do that as well before leaving.
