>You obtain: Candid Friend
>"I have, actually," says Rinnosuke. "The day that the troubles broke out, Patchouli had sold me a blue one. I took the time to ask about it afterwards, and she told me that she obtained it from Rumia. Apparently Rumia found it and traded it to Patchouli for a Secret Item. I asked Rumia that, actually. It seems she found it in the fields to the north of town."

>"Well," says Rinnosuke, "You have been a good customer today, and it is not my custom to charge much for unknowns. And I still feel somewhat indebted for the IOU you procured earlier today. So, I shall trade it for that handkerchief. Or, I suppose, 70☼."

>"I don't recall the clothing," says Rinnosuke, "But I am pretty sure it was a dress. This was some time ago, you realize. I believe she had straight hair, and I know she didn't have the charm Tewi favors."

>You head to the library.
>You find Patchouli has not moved from where you last left her, though you do note the repaired picture sits on a frame at the edge of the table now and a lapful of Basset Hound that she idly pets. Sakuya is also here with a contingent of maids, flitting about and dusting the library. You note Koakuma is sitting near the windows, working on something intently.
>Patchouli looks up at you and says nothing, simply looking at you expectantly.

>You give Patchouli the Thick Envelope. She smiles. "Excellent. Thank you very much."
>You report about the Prismrivers. Patchouli nods. "Hmm, not terribly unexpected. I anticipated two of them would bury their differences first. I hope they're no longer at each others' throats?"

>You play Candid Friend. It is...a curious melody, to say the least. Patchouli considers it for a moment. "It certainly doesn't seem to fit into any of their preferences, so it is a start. As long as they aren't squabbling actively, it seems to be a matter of time to me."
>You note that Koakuma seems to be bobbing her headwings in time with it.
>"This reminds me," Patchouli says. "May I see that Red Gem again?"

>Patchouli looks it over, with her customary frown. "Ah, it's as I thought," she said at last. "That does explain a few things." She looks back to you. "I think I understand it a little better now. As I mentioned before, there is a fire-based enchantment on it, as well as a sort of unlocking spell that I cannot really read. It seems to be a part of a set as well, which is why I am having such a hard time reading its relative strength. That is, there are other items that are connected to it, and would resonate with its if they were brought together. From what I can gather, there are three others. Have you tried to use it?"

> Examine Red Gem

> "I haven't tried, how would I use it anyway?"

>Red Gem
>This is an oval-shaped gem, you do not know what kind of gem it is, or if it is just glass. Patchouli says that it bears a fire-based enchantment, and seems to be enchanted to serve as a key. It seems to be part of a set.
>Your Inventory contains:
>Dress Suit w/ Stockings (Wore as clothes)
>A professional-looking business suit, blouse, knee-length skirt, and doubled up stockings. What could be classier?
>Cresent Pin (Worn as accessory)
>You wear this to remind you of home.
>Wave Sign: Mind Shaker
>A spellcard where you use your abilities to make twin pattern of bullets seem to go in directions they are not.
>Visionary Wave: Mind Blowing
>A more dense pattern following the same principle as Wave Sign: Mind Shaker. Reality will be terribly distorted to the victim.
>Lunatic Sign: Visionary Tuning
>You disalign the wavelengths of a complex maze of bullets to try and trick your opponent into moving recklessly.
>Lunatic Gaze: Illusion Seeker
>Much like Lunatic Sign: Visionary Tuning, with a more aggressive pattern. It takes all of your concentration to use this well.
>Loafing Sign: Idling Wave
>This attack surrounds your target with bullets, and distorts them, forcing them to make fast decisions to avoid being caught in the middle.
>Indolence: Mind Stopper
>It takes a lot of concentration to correctly apply this card and keep up the stream of bullets.
>Spread Sign: Invisible Full Moon
>Overlapping dense circular patterns of bullets, and alternating their wavelengths to force the victim to see one or other. It is simple, yet highly effective against the unwary.
>Lunar Eyes: Tele-Mesmerism
>This is your ultimate attack, hitting an opponent with two huge waves of bullets, then shifting them as much as you can. It will leave you with a nasty headache and blurred vision.
>Pair of Tinted Glasses.
>These wire-rimmed glasses have tinted lenses; they also make an odd translucent shadow on the ground when light shines through them.
>Beautiful Seashell
>An exquisite cowrie shell.
>Dark Blue Backpack
>A large backpack, perfect for stuffing full of things.
>Faerie Ribbon
>A simple ribbon of cream-white silk given to you by a faerie.
>Raw Lamprey Fillet
>Exactly what it sounds like, wrapped in some paper.
>Bottle of Wind
>A Blue Bottle blessed by Kanako to contain a windstorm.
>635☼
>This is 625☼
>1/60 Scale Valsione Model
>This seems to be a model of a long-haired young woman in armor. But if the scale is correct, she'd be several stories tall.
>Masterfully Crafted Wakazashi
>A superbly crafted wakazashi. It seems a little familiar.
>Red Gem
>This is an oval-shaped gem, you do not know what kind of gem it is, or if it is just glass. Patchouli says that it bears a fire-based enchantment, and seems to be enchanted to serve as a key. It seems to be part of a set.
>Silver Medal (Worn as Accessory)
>This decoration seems to have an enchantment to impart a measure of mental fortitude on the wearer.
>Metal Shard
>A dull golden shard of a broken sword blade. It apparently had mystifying powers at one point.
>Candid Friend
>A song incorporating odd phrases and rhythms, in hopes that it will be pleasing to listen to after encountering it often.
>Vial of Unknown Liquid
>A liquid the color of concrete and the consistency of water. You have no idea what it is for, but you don't think it is a medicine of any kind.
>"I was hoping you would have some insights, actually," says Patchouli. "There are myriad ways to trigger enchanted items. If you are lucky, it'll respond to your will. If you're less lucky, it will require some sort of trigger from you, such as the correct emotional state or an offering of blood. If you're especially unlucky, it will require a command word. Those can take ages to discover. Unfortunately, I think I would need more of the set to be able to divine it without experimenting."

>You bought it from Kourindou, along with the Masterfully Crafted Wakazashi and the Silver Necklace. It seems you may have gotten a good deal.
>"Alright. If you do try it, take careful note of the results. Including attempts that get you nothing. Ah, a bit of advice. Don't allow others to try it for you. Some items bind themselves to a single user, and it seems logical a key might do this. Ah yes, something else."
>She reaches behind one of the books and produces a small brooch with an opal set into it. "This is for going to the Ancient City for me."
>You recieve: Opal Brooch.
