>It really does look like a million books exploded down here...

>You start gathering up some paper, periodically looking through it. By and large, it's unintelligible. Here and there, you find something in proper writing that you can read, oftentime it's not very interesting or sensical. Sometimes you find pictures and diagrams; the former runs the gamet from pictures you would expect in children's books to detailed drawings likely meant for some scientific journal, from lovely natural scenes to pictures of people that you cannot tell are real or imaginary.
>As you gather up the paper, you swear you can hear a weird, muted thumping noise somewhere in here.

>You are pretty sure it's not your heart.
>You close your eyes and listen. Without the rustling of the paper to distract you, you are certain you can hear a slow, repetitive thumping noise, every few seconds. It seems to be coming eastern side of the room.

>You make a mental note of this, and head back upstairs to the mouse youkai with a heaping armload of paper. It is surprisingly heavy; you never imagined that paper would weight very much, but you easily have a few thousand sheets in your arms and it is definitely weighing you down a little.
>You make your way back to the storefront, and find the youkai is still there. "Thanks," she says. "Just dump it in the barrel."

> "You think it's worth digging?"

>"It might be a good idea, but let me try to find it, first" she says, her ears twitching again. She then takes off a necklace she was wearing, a simple bit of string with a crystal hanging from it, and dangles it from her hand. She then pulls it and sets it swaying with her other hand, letting it rock left and right. After a moment it begins to swing oddly, taking on a more circular motion. It wobbles, while the mouse youkai stares at it intently, then seems to settle on course that swings back and forth.
>"There," she says, pointing toward the eastern wall, close to the southern corner.

>You get a few feet back from that spot, and you can definitely hear it ahead of you. You also think that you can see some of the papers shift and jump ever so slightly with each sounding.
