(I was afraid I'd screw something up somewhere, since diplomacy isn't a strength of mine.)

[UncertainJakutten]

I'm a fighter, not a diplomancer. Though I can spin some good words, I'm not very good with knowing what appeals to our beloved touhous.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Do you mean your favor to be my trading the Brooch for wine or something else?"

>"It would be a start," says Kanako.

> Ponder what sort of favors a Goddess such as Kanako would have for us.

>Sanae gives you something of a foul look for a fraction of a moment. "Ah, you don't know me very well if that is the sort of thing you are expecting of me," says Kanako. "But no matter."
>Well, it clearly wasn't that. How awkward...
>"It seems to me that is only fitting the earth mirror the heavens," continues hte goddess, "Do you not agree? If you ask me to hold a celebration for the myriad gods, is it not appropriate that you too host a celebration in turn? It would please me greatly, I think, to feast among the rabbits and see the people of Gensokyo mingle with the people of the Moon."

> "Also, what type of wine would you prefer?"

>Friend Parser thanks you for your loyalty, citizen.
>"Nothing too sweet," answers Kanako.

>"I think we could arrange that. Perhaps even Yorohime can join us after she's been...made to come to her senses. I'll discuss it with master and the princess once we resolve this situation."

[Janitor Morgan]

> Make a mental note to procure a Lunarian beverage from Yorihime if we do manage to subdue her, so that we can repay our debt to Yuyuko

[Hello Purvis]

>"I think we could arrange that. Perhaps even Yorohime can join us after she's been...made to come to her senses. I'll discuss it with master and the princess once we resolve this situation."

>Kanako nods. "That shall be acceptable."
>She looks to Sanae. "Go procure Suika, if you would. I have a use for her."
>"Of course," says Sanae. She stands, bows, and quickly departs.

> Make a mental note to procure a Lunarian beverage from Yorihime if we do manage to subdue her, so that we can repay our debt to Yuyuko

>Traditionally, the winner serves drinks to the loser, but you think that you could probably make a request after setting her straight.

> Recall specifics of rabbit play events: are they festive enough to qualify as feasts, or simply normal theatrical happenings? As normal as Eientei rabbits can get, anyway.

[Hello Purvis]

> Recall specifics of rabbit play events: are they festive enough to qualify as feasts, or simply normal theatrical happenings? As normal as Eientei rabbits can get, anyway.

>They tend not to be feast events in and of themselves, though they are often added as events alongside feasts. You don't recall any feast preparations from your visits to the kitchens earlier today.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How long do feast preparations normally take? Could the rabbits have something ready for tonight if they were prompted soon?

[Hello Purvis]

>Usually it takes a few days. The food has to be gathered, and it usually takes most of the day to get it ready. You think things could be hurried along, though, with the proper assistance.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What sort of assistance? Extra bodies in the kitchen?

[Hello Purvis]

> What sort of assistance? Extra bodies in the kitchen?

>Skilled extra bodies would be a start. And food.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Recall list of people who owe us favors.
> Also consider potential sources of food.

[Hello Purvis]

> Recall list of people who owe us favors.
> Also consider potential sources of food.

>You are owed favors to varying degrees by:
>Remilia
>Youmu
>Hina
>Letty
>Marisa(?)
>Oni in general.
>You could probably find some stores around the various villages. Alternately, you hear that Scarlet Devil Mansion has an expansive pantry, and likely Hakugyokorou as well is the stories of Yuyuko's gourmet inclinations hold any truth.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

Alright, I think that will work.

> "Okay, I have an idea, as long as I am here. Eientei's rabbits are holding a play tonight. While we did not have a banquet planned in conjunction with this theatrical performance, with a little bit of luck and the princess's permission, we could try to set up an impromptu feast to follow it. All of the Moriya Shrine is invited, of course. Would this interest you?"
> Do we actually have one of Koakuma's buttons or did we walk away from the SDM without grabbing one?

[Hello Purvis]

>"That sounds splendid," says Kanako. "If you could arrange to display some of those Lunarian artifacts again, that would be perfect."
>We will say for the sake of argument that you do have it, if only because Patchouli would probably hit you with a chair if you tried to leave without it.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I will talk to the princess to see if that can be arranged. Who knows, perhaps Yorihime and her rabbit crew will also be able to donate to such a cause."
> "If that is all you require of me, I will take my leave to begin preparations. This is suddenly a very busy day. Again, I am deeply grateful for the consideration you have given my selfish request."
> Bow to Kanako and make to leave.

>"Of course," says Kanako. "As for my task, you'll know when they have been truly set into motion. May your efforts not be without reward, Reisen."
>You take your leave of Kanako and exit the Moriya Shrine. Suwako is still sitting on the roof. "Nice work," she says, grinning down toward you darkly. "Now go give those Lunarians a few more problems for me."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You know it."
> Gunwink Suwako
> Whisper "Hey, Patchouli, are you still safe?" into Koakuma's button.

[Kilgamayan]

> Whisper "Hey, Patchouli, are you still safe?" into Koakuma's button.

> On second though, don't do this. Listen into the button first.

[Hello Purvis]

> "You know it."
> Gunwink Suwako
> Whisper "Hey, Patchouli, are you still safe?" into Koakuma's button.

> On second though, don't do this. Listen into the button first.

>Suwako replies with a lazy fingergun of her own. Then she leaps from the roof and walks into the shrine.
>You take the button out, and can hear some garbled sounds coming from it. Holding it up to your ear, you can distinguish the sounds of a lot of a lot of danmaku flying around, shouting, and...what sounds like a small crowd cheering.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Continue listening, moving toward a quieter location as we do so.

[Hello Purvis]

> Continue listening, moving toward a quieter location as we do so.

>The Shrine's grounds are rather quiet, but you move toward the far edge of them to minimize the sounds coming from tengu town.
>You here what sounds like a sudden rush of roaring flame, and Remilia crying out in mingled pain and anger, then shouting, "Oh that's it!"
>Following this is Patchouli crying, "Go higher! Now!" followed by another cry from Remilia, and more cheering.

[Kasu]

> "Crap."
> Head for Eientei.  We need to get these errands done NOW.

[Kilgamayan]

Okay SO

Plans for this impromptu feast:

- Head to Eientei, get Kaguya's permission to actually do this, let the other rabbits know
- Head to Hakugyokurou, invite residents, enlist Youmu's help in the kitchen (with foodstuffs if possible)
- Head back to the SDM, invite as many residents as will come, enlist Sakuya's help in the kitchen (with foodstuffs if possible) by playing our Remi Favor card
- Optional assistance: head back underground, talk to Yuugi, see if there are spare foodstuffs the oni can lend to Eientei

[Hello Purvis]

> "Crap."
> Head for Eientei.  We need to get these errands done NOW.

>You hurry toward Eientei.
>Thankfully, the mountainside remains peaceful, and you don't encounter any particular problems moving through the forest of magic.
>As you work your way through the Bamboo Forest, you start to catch bits of sounds from up ahead, shouting that you can't quite make out and danmaku fire.

>_

[Kasu]

> "Double crap."
> Keep going.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Double crap."
> Keep going.

>You keep going.
>Though the bamboo you periodically get glimpses of crimson danmaku flying into the sky. The noises become easier to distinguish, though adding clarity to random shouts and the like doesn't tell you much more.
>You can see Mokou up ahead, sitting on large rock and peering through the bamboo. Glimpses of light and the closeness of the sounds suggest that the fight ahead is very close by.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Try to keep our voice down.
> "Hey, Mokou, what's going on over there?"
