> Say hello to Parsee if she is outside.
> Continue into the Ancient City and find Yugi. It was Yugi we needed to find for the feast related actions, correct?

[Kilgamayan]

> Where did we leave the PrismRivers to perform together?

[Hello Purvis]

> Say hello to Parsee if she is outside.
> Continue into the Ancient City and find Yugi. It was Yugi we needed to find for the feast related actions, correct?

>You look down, and see no signs of Parsee.
>You do, however, see Yuugi kneeling by the riverbank, still wearing the ratty too-small bathrobe.

> Where did we leave the PrismRivers to perform together?

>They were at The Felt. But this was some hours ago, before the funeral processions and such began, so it is possible they may not be there now.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Walk up to Yuugi, making her aware of our presence before we get to close so as to avoid startling her.

[Hello Purvis]

> Walk up to Yuugi, making her aware of our presence before we get to close so as to avoid startling her.

>You descend down to the riverbank, and greet Yuugi from a distance. She looks back, then stands and tries, with limited success, to close the bathrobe enough to preserve modesty. Then she gives you a look.
>"Those were Asskicker's gems you got floating behind you, aren't they?" she says.

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "Well I did find the Purple one where that Oni Eater thing was."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well I did find the Purple one where that Oni Eater thing was."

>"I must still be pissed," says Yuugi, raising an eyebrow. "Because I know you didn't just say that."

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Was Yuugi "pissed"  when we saw her earlyer? I forget and have 0 clue where the page that would have been mentioned on is.

[Hello Purvis]

> Was Yuugi "pissed"  when we saw her earlyer? I forget and have 0 clue where the page that would have been mentioned on is.

>The last time you met Yuugi, you more or less got her out of bed and asked her about the gems. She also told you a good deal about the woman that hid them, whom she had met and fought personally. This meeting was some hours ago. You don't recall if she was properly drunk then, because she was also very groggy.

[Kilgamayan]

Oh fuck.

> "Oh? What are you pissed about?"

STEER CONVERSATION AWAY FROM PURPLE GEM, ONI DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING LIED TO

[Kilgamayan]

Actually on second thought it's likely she's pissed about something else and is just incredulous at the idea of a moon rabbit wasting the Oni Eater, rather than pissed that someone killed it. Still, let's make sure before we get punched in the face.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh? What are you pissed about?"

>"Not that kind, the fun liquored-up kind," Yuugi says. "Now, what'd you say about getting around the Oni Eater."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, yeah, that was me, with a lot of indirect help from Asskicker. Sorry for not telling you before, the thing got me really good and I probably would have died in the caves myself had Yamame not hauled my carcass back to town."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh, yeah, that was me, with a lot of indirect help from Asskicker. Sorry for not telling you before, the thing got me really good and I probably would have died in the caves myself had Yamame not hauled my carcass back to town."

>"...Wait." She looks toward the town, then back to you, furrowing her brows together. "You...ain't  saying your beat it, right? Because, that'd be a zogging thing."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, I don't think anyone actually saw me do it, but the thing's dead, isn't it? And Yamame can vouch for my wandering around those caverns and being roughed up good. And then there's this Purple Gem. I shouldn't need to remind you about Asskicker herself, since you actually met her."
> "Besides, I wouldn't lie to an oni like you, if only because I rather like my face arranged the way it is now and don't really want you to redecorate it."

>"Well break off my horn an stab a zogging dog with it," Yuugi mutters. She looks back toward the city. "I was wondering if I had only slept through the distillery blowing up."
>She shakes her head, then gives you a solid clap on the back; which just agitates your poor abused shoulders. "You're a zogging legend, that's what you are!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wince.
> "Happy to help. Have to give a lot of the credit to Asskicker, though, her gems were invaluable in taking that thing down."
> "Actually, I might have a small favor to ask you, if you don't mind. It depends on how things around here work, though. I've heard some stories but I'm not entirely clear on the subject. Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but are you allowed above ground?"
> Did Mystia get invited to tonight's festivities?

> Did Mystia get invited to tonight's festivities?

>"Oh, yeah," says Yuugi. "How'd you think Suika got loose? I mean, traditionally we stay around here, but that's just because it's kinda weird to be topside anymore. And, y'know, the whole human thing." She shrugs.
>Mystia was invited to the play, there was no feast planned at that point, but one will likely lead to the other.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Excellent. My home is holding a theatrical production, and then an improptu feast will come after it. Folks from various corners of Gensokyo will be there, not to mention the swathes of rabbits we house. My favor would be to ask if you have any foodstuff supplies you could donate to this. I understand the oni are holding celebrations of their own, but if you can spare anything, it would be most appreciated. If you like, you could join us."
> Have we invited anyone else from the underground yet? Yamame and Satori, at the very least, also deserve to be asked.

[Kilgamayan]

Also we should ask Kogasa because Kogasa. <_<

>"Huh. Well, uh, we're not much for food that travels good," says Yuugi. "More the "eat it now before it gets everywhere" kind. But I can get you enough drink to keep 'em happy." She takes a moment to pop her neck, left side then right. "Yeah, that'll be no problem."
>You know that Eirin invited Yamame to come to dinner after rescuing you. Satori, given that she went out of her way to avoid a few guests, may not be too eager to go. But it would be polite.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Great. You can bring Parsee, too, if she wants to come."
> Give Yuugi the best directions to Eientei we can, mentioning that Mokou will be there in the event she gets lost.

[Kilgamayan]

Going to bed for the night.

Tasks while underground:

- Invite Satori
- Invite Kogasa
- Get Candid Friend to Prismreznors

[Hello Purvis]

> "Great. You can bring Parsee, too, if she wants to come."
> Give Yuugi the best directions to Eientei we can, mentioning that Mokou will be there in the event she gets lost.

>She nods. "I'll be there. Parsee might be a bit too hung over. We'll see."
>You give Yuugi the best directions you can. Unfortunately, giving directions for the whole forest is difficult. You eventually decide to go with "Follow all the footprints in the snow."
>"Got it," says Yuugi. "I might have a few of the girls with me, to lug all that shit up there. That okay?"

>_

[Thaws]

>"Sure!"

>"See you at Eientei then!"

>Head to the Felt.

>Consider inviting Nue as well, she did give us a free lunch.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sure!"

>"See you at Eientei then!"

>Head to the Felt.

>Consider inviting Nue as well, she did give us a free lunch.

>"Looking forward to it!" says Yuugi, waving as you depart.
>You make your way in the city and head toward The Felt. Along the way, you pass by the funeral procession as it makes its way through the intersection leading to the Palace of the Earth Spirits. Among the dancers, drummers, and flutists, you notice the Prismrivers adding their own touches to the festive cacophony.  You also think you see Nue trailing among the dancers near the back of the procession, but it's hard to tell from here.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Would it at all possible to approach the Prismrivers or Nue, and/or talk to them? Or at least hand one of the Prismrivers the item we need to give to them, Candid Friend or w/e it was.

[Hello Purvis]

> Would it at all possible to approach the Prismrivers or Nue, and/or talk to them? Or at least hand one of the Prismrivers the item we need to give to them, Candid Friend or w/e it was.

>It should be possible to approach any of them, though there is the risk of colliding with a whirling oni here or there if you're not careful. Also, you're pretty sure Merlin won't be very talkative, and Lunasa has her hands too full to actually take anything.

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Let's head to the Palace of Earth Spirits to invite Satori and Koishi.

[Hello Purvis]

> Let's head to the Palace of Earth Spirits to invite Satori and Koishi.

>You decide to move on, since the Palace of the Earth Spirits is nearby.
>Things are significantly more peaceful near the palace, though you can still hear the music quite well in the distance. It seems that little has happened here since you left; you can see see Orin and the wolf's pawprints in the snow. Obvious exits are North, South, and West.
