Deliverator: 30 minutes or less! (Restart)

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Hey... But yeah. She gave me a hug. And asked me to bring some books from the mansion library back up to her."

> "Look kid, no one likes Aya, but she brings it on herself."
> "A hug and asked you to run an errand?  That doesn't exactly sound like a match made in Heaven, but it's not exactly a match made in Higan either.  I'd bring it up with her if I were you, why not?  If you feel that something's there, might as well ask about it.  You did say she seemed reasonable."
> "But I don't know how much faith I'd have in it.  A youkai is one thing, but tengu in particular are going to be annoying."
> "Your turn for a question."

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, tell me more about tengu, if you can?"

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Well, tell me more about tengu, if you can?"

> "Well, aside from Aya?  They're pretty private.  Like, to extremes.  They don't usually let other youkai even pass through unless they're going to the shrine.  They definitely tend to have a superiority complex and they generally just aren't very friendly.  I never spend much time up there to be honest.  I don't have much reason to go to the Moriya Shrine, so when I head to the Mountain it's to see Nitori."
> "They've also got a guard patrol up there, made up of wolf tengu.  Momiji's one of those, isn't she?  They pretty much fall in lockstep with orders from Lord Tenma, and probably won't go against his word about nearly anything.  Code of law is pretty much everything up there."
> "If you're asking how they'd react to you, I have absolutely no idea.  I can guess that they wouldn't receive you very warmly, but you might be able to get through them, probably wouldn't be easy though."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, the territorial thing is kind of what we original talked...well....argued about. So, what do the tengu in general respect?"

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Yeah, the territorial thing is kind of what we original talked...well....argued about. So, what do the tengu in general respect?"

> "Other tengu."
> Marisa pauses and scratches her chin before continuing.
> "Seclusion and the ability to thrive in it, unending loyalty to a group and its causes, and a holier-than-thou attitude probably wouldn't hurt.  Sanae could probably answer that better though, what with being closer to them."
> "Alternatively, there's the ever popular 'give up and pursue someone else' option, but you seem a little too headstrong for that.  Is there anyone else in your sights besides Momiji?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, I might have to ask Sanae. And...I don't think it really works like that."

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Yeah, I might have to ask Sanae. And...I don't think it really works like that."

> "It doesn't?  News to me, unless the rules changed earlier today."
> She shrugs.  "Nothing wrong with casting multiple nets though, you never know what you'll catch.  You might bag a tengu, or a kappa, or a regular human girl, or an oni, or a lonely shrine maiden.  Who knows?"
> "Still, probably best to be direct about it with her.  Tengu don't seem to like pussyfooting around issues."
> "Any other questions?  Could be about this or about magic again."

[Hello Purvis]

>"About this tapping into an external source, how...good at this to do I have to be to do it without having a good chance of blowing myself up in the process?"

[Rin Kagamine]

>"About this tapping into an external source, how...good at this to do I have to be to do it without having a good chance of blowing myself up in the process?"

> "There's really no risk since it's such a gradual process.  It's pretty much testing waters until you feel something empower you.  From there you just slowly adapt it and push your own limits until you can fully utilize it.  It's not something you can rush, so there's really no risk of hurting yourself going that route."

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"How do you start it?"

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Contemplate the possibility of tapping into our determination to deliver for an external source.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Nod.
>"How do you start it?"

> You nod, so does Marisa.
> "You can feel your energy flowing through you, right?  Concentrate and open yourself, and focus solely on what you're trying to draw power from.  What you're trying to do is eliminate the distance that exists between you and the source, effectively making it an extension of yourself.  It's a spiritual thing, you understand?"

> Contemplate the possibility of tapping into our determination to deliver for an external source.

> It's probably possible, determination seems to be an extension of manliness.  Determination to deliver might be too narrow.

[Hello Purvis]

>"That sounds like it makes sense, in light of everything I've seen so far."
>"One more question. Do you have any idea where to find Murasa?"

[Rin Kagamine]

>"That sounds like it makes sense, in light of everything I've seen so far."
>"One more question. Do you have any idea where to find Murasa?"

> "I wish you luck, it'll be a long and arduous journey.  Feel free to ask again if you have any further questions."
> "Murasa?  I assume she's talking about CAPTAIN MINAMITSU MURASA as she so eloquently calls herself.  She's probably at the Palanquin Ship cum Myouren Temple, unless Byakuren finally got fed up with the bitch.  At any rate, Byakuren should know."

[Kasu]

> "Thanks for everything."
> The temple is in the village right?
> If so, bid Marisa farewell if we aren't too tired and head back to the village.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Thanks for everything."
> The temple is in the village right?
> If so, bid Marisa farewell if we aren't too tired and head back to the village.

> "Good luck on your romantic endevours!"  She blows you a kiss as you leave.
> Just south of town near the fields, but you've never been down there.
> That rest certainly helped, as did the soup even if it did taste rather awful.  You leave Marisa's house, grabbing the box of eel on your way out.
> It's a quick jaunt down the path before you arrive at Kourindou.  As usual, it seems to be rather unpopular.  To the south is the village, less populated than earlier this morning.

[Hello Purvis]

>Decide to hit up Kourindou later. Onwards to the village!

[Rin Kagamine]

>Decide to hit up Kourindou later. Onwards to the village!

> You can't really think of anything you need there anyway!
> You head down towards the village.  It's quite a while before afternoon tea, so people are busy being productive and what not.  You notice some other deliverators as you pass through the village, running parcels between other humans.  How'd you get stuck with the youkai today anyway?
> Speaking of youkai, you also catch Ran out of the corner of your eye, leaving a shop and carrying a large assortment of bags.
> You're about in the village square now.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Wave to Ran.
>Continue on toward the Palanquin Ship if she doesn't want anything.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Wave to Ran.
>Continue on toward the Palanquin Ship if she doesn't want anything.

> You wave towards Ran, she nods back in your direction.
> Well, kind of.  Was that a nod or was she beckoning you over?

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh, why not?
>Approach!
>"Got your package safely delivered, Miss Ran. She was delighted to get it."

[Rin Kagamine]

>Oh, why not?
>Approach!
>"Got your package safely delivered, Miss Ran. She was delighted to get it."

> Things could be worse.
> You walk over towards the tails youkai, who stops walking.
> "Wonderful, thank you very much.  I'm just getting a few things for the house that Yukari'denka might be missing.  Were you able to try any of it?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Did we? I don't think we did...
>If not: "Unfortunately, no. She was much more interested in the fact that Mokou had guided me there. And things got...well...rather horrifying after that."

[Rin Kagamine]

>Did we? I don't think we did...
>If not: "Unfortunately, no. She was much more interested in the fact that Mokou had guided me there. And things got...well...rather horrifying after that."

> Sadly you did not.
> You inform Ran as to the circumstances surrounding your failed pie-eating venture.
> "Oh dear, how unfortunate that you had to see them fight.  Perhaps there will be another opportunity for pie later.  IN any case, seeing as we both have our packages, I must be off.  Take care."

>_

[Kasu]

> "You take care as well."
> Head for the Temple.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "You take care as well."
> Head for the Temple.

> You take your leave of the Tail-y One.
> Reimu's Shrine or the Ship-cum-Temple?
> You begin to make your way south towards where you suspect the ship to be.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep heading toward the shimple.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Keep heading toward the shimple.

> You head towards the fields!  Leaving the village should enable you to find the templeship easier.
> "Hey Toshi!"
> You turn towards your right.  Oh look, it's Yoshi.
