>Kick back.

> You decide that for now you'll leave the time travel nonsense for another day. You've earned a break, so you sit down in your Science Shack and lie back. Your hand reaches down for the bag where you keep your plentiful supply of cucumbers.

You come up empty handed.

Apparently, Reimu didn't leave without taking something from you. Your stomach rumbles in protest, but a quick scan of your pockets shows that you are indeed stone cold broke.

> New Quest: Make It, Make Money
Find some way to fund your cucumber habit following your shack being plundered.

> You wonder momentarily if there are any bounties available. The Human Village would be the place to go for that, and as a Kappa you have a decent chance of not being immediately destroyed by the Village's guardian.

>It's a good long walk to the human village, so you set off there with haste. It's evening, now, and you can tell things are getting a little dark. Actually, scratch that. Really dark. You see a little grill of sorts in front of you, and not much else, but if you rummage through your bag you should be able to find a pair of night-vision goggles that'll see you through.

>The world turns to various shades of green. The shade reminds you of cucumbers. Your stomach rumbles again.
> You wave to the Stand mistress. She is currently battering an eel while screaming something along the lines of 'ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA', and seems too focused on the job to pay attention to you. Only after you've moved on do you hear a vague cry of 'Hey, aren't you blind or something?!'

> The Human Village still has its gates open by the time you get there. The list of bounties should be in the City Hall, but there are a few other buildings of note: the local school whose science course needs a dramatic updating, the infamous child historian who may need some help scribing, and a shady looking rabbit in the back alley carrying around a few coins. Where to?

The main entrance to City Hall is open, and you walk in without a care. It's sort of disappointing to see that no-one has greeted you on behalf of the humans...maybe it's not obvious enough that you're a kappa?
The list of bounties is hanging on the wall in the main lobby, but it's rather low on offers. There's only two bounties that haven't already been claimed:

WANTED: Kogasa Tatara
Race: Karakasa
Crime: Disturbance of the peace through immature pranks
Reward for capture - 10,000 Yen

WANTED: Tewi Inaba
Race: Rabbit youkai
Crime: Illegal gambling
Reward for capture - 25,000 Yen

> You're unfamiliar with the first name, but you're aware of the fact that villagers have been complaining about a youkai who spends her time looking for ways to surprise them. Keine is concerned that eventually she'll target a member of the elderly, and the shock will be enough to do them in.
The second name is somewhat more iconic. Tewi Inaba is perhaps one of Gensokyo's most known and most feared youkai - not for the damage she would do to your body, but to your wallet. Under the guise of many an innocent-looking deal or game she had robbed Gensokyo blind, but when the police came around she had an incredible knack for either not being there or having someone around to plead her innocence. For long enough to let her escape, anyway.

The face certainly matches the picture on the wanted poster, albeit missing the nifty-looking hat she was wearing.

Tewi is still where she was before, messing with a few coins in her hand. "Hey," she says as you approach, "feel like tryin' your luck at a little game? Nothing serious, just a little fun - unless you're lookin' to up the stakes."

> You know, it's amazing. The arm fires perfectly, but a miraculous turn of the wind sends it twisting away from Tewi and causes it to instead crash into the wall behind her. The rabbit simply glances at your weapon as it retracts, unfazed by her lucky escape.
"Oh. Bounty, huh? Don't bother, you're not gonna get anywhere. I dunno, I seen to have this uncanny ability to not take a hit, y'know? Really, you've got better chances just playing a game with me for 20,000 yen. Hell, I won't even ask you to bet money - you can ante up that nice little rocket arm of yours."

> Of course you won't accept that rabbit's offer! You would never part with your beloved SCIENCE.
> You politely refuse Tewi's offer of a game and make your way out. You make a note to meet someone later who might be able to undo Tewi's fortune.
> Kogasa will be a little harder to find, mainly because unlike Tewi you didn't see her on the way in. Maybe you should talk to some people? Or should you just fly upwards - where you'd logically find a karakasa - and hope for the best?
