>Grab Mokou by the arm. Direct her attention toward the dirt.

[日巫子]

>"Um, Cirno, is the sound all weird for you now?"
>Grab Mokou by the arm. Direct her attention toward the dirt.
>Write in the dirt with out finger: "Sound is acting weird. Why?"

> Cirno winces and slaps her hands over her ears.  "Y-yeah...you're really loud."
> Mokou stumbles a little when you grab her arm.  She opens her mouth to say something, but stops herself when she sees the message in the dirt.
> She crouches down and writes, "That's an example of how this place got altered.  That crazy rabbit's influence over the forest really spreads."
> Cirno is reading the messages you and Mokou have written, but she doesn't seem to have come up with anything to add.

[Hello Purvis]

>Write: "Shit. Use hand signals until we get out of this mess?"

[日巫子]

>Write: "Shit. Use hand signals until we get out of this mess?"

> Mokou gives you a thumbs up.  She then gestures to Cirno and points to the message you just wrote.  Cirno nods, and you all stand back up again.  When you look back at the dirt, you realize that everything that was written in it is now gone.
> You soon learn that hand signals is better than actually speaking in this situation, because the sound quality fluctuates as you walk.  It gives you a headache, and you soon feel dizzy again.  Cirno is having a similiar problem, and at one point you have to catch her by the arm before she runs into a stalk of bamboo.
> Mokou walks with her hands in her pockets and keeps a calm and collected expression on her face.  She's probably annoyed by the sound too, though.

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow dat pyro, try not to run into any bamboo.

[日巫子]

>Follow dat pyro, try not to run into any bamboo.

> You continue to follow Mokou.
> After what seems like an eternity, the sound finally starts to stabilize.  This is a great relief, but it does nothing for your headache.
> Mokou holds up a hand to stop you and Cirno, and looks around.  You nearly have a heart attack when she starts touching the bamboo around her, but she doesn't get teleported.
> Her hands return to her pockets, and she speaks.  "Okay, we've cleared that part.  The grounds going to move a lot from this point, and the bamboo's going to get thick again, but try to keep an eye out for those rabbits.  We're close to Eientei."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Move? Like, move how?"

[日巫子]

>"Move? Like, move how?"

> "Rippling effects, waves, shifting; kind of like an earthquake."

[Sect]

> Nod, keep a good hold on Cirno.
> "Why can't the stupid rabbits just stop with this nonsense, come out and fight like real youkai...?"

[日巫子]

> Nod, keep a good hold on Cirno.
> "Why can't the stupid rabbits just stop with this nonsense, come out and fight like real youkai...?"

> You take hold of Cirno's hand so she doesn't trip.
> "Rabbits are weird like that."  With that, you all start to walk again.
> You've always associated earthquakes with falling rocks, so when the ground beneath you starts shaking, you are not prepared and almost fall over.  Needless to say, the shaking does not stop.  It soon changes into ripples, which you and Cirno quickly learn to jump over by watching Mokou.  As you walk on, the shaking gets stronger and stronger.
> Mokou has to yell to make herself heard over the rumbling.  "There's a wave coming up, get ready to fly over it!" she warns.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Just take to the air; jumping over this shit is for busters anyways.

[日巫子]

>Just take to the air; jumping over this shit is for busters anyways.

> You, Cirno, and Mokou take to the air right as the wave appears.  You expected it to be tall, but this is giant.  Everyone is speechless.  It rolls over the earth like the earthworm you thought Keine was, tearing up bamboo and sending it into the air.  You all get pelted by bamboo, which hurts and is annoying, but the danger has passed.  You all land back on the ground.  The wave can still be heard rumbling in the distance.
> While Mokou spits out a piece of bamboo, you think you can hear rustling nearby.

> _

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>Turn towards that direction and scan it with the stone

[日巫子]

>Turn towards that direction and scan it with the stone

> When you scan it, you see a gaggle of rabbit-eared girls hiding in the bamboo, including the one you scared off earlier.  Kind of pathetic for them to hide and watch all of you like that when you can see them so clearly.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Tap Mokou on the shoulder, gesture discreetly toward the Rabites.

[日巫子]

>Tap Mokou on the shoulder, gesture discreetly toward the Rabites.

> You draw Mokou's attention to the rabbits.  She glances in their direction.
> She then looks towards Cirno, who is releasing another snow flurry from her wings.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Quietly: "Think we could get around 'em and keep 'em from running off?"

[日巫子]

>Quietly: "Think we could get around 'em and keep 'em from running off?"

> Mokou nods.  "Even if we only get one it's good.  So what tricks do you two have up your sleeves?" she whispers back.

[Hello Purvis]

>"I can probably distract a couple, get them fighting among themselves."
>Discreetly survey the rabbits, look for obvious differences between any two of them we could use to inspire some raging jealousy. Height, bust size; the more petty, the better.

>"I can probably distract a couple, get them fighting among themselves."
>Discreetly survey the rabbits, look for obvious differences between any two of them we could use to inspire some raging jealousy. Height, bust size; the more petty, the better.

> "Go for it."
> You survey the rabbits again.  There are four rabbits.  As far as obvious differences go, one of them has very long, silky-looking hair, another has a larger bust size than her companions, one has no distinguishing features but is holding a mallet, and the last one has exceptionally fuzzy-looking ears.

[Hello Purvis]

>Perfect.
>Invoke jealousy of the large-chested rabbit in mallet-carrier. Make the Large-chested one jealous of the silk-haired one. Make Silky jealous of the fluffy-eared one, and make the fluffy-eared one jealous of mallet-carrier for having something to defend herself with.
>If we can't do it all at the same time, do them in that order.
>And crank that business to eleven.

>If we can't do it all at the same time, do them in that order.
>And crank that business to eleven.

> This is going to be so awesome.
> You focus your energy and invoke jealousy in all of them at the same time.  A lot of jealousy.
> It takes about five seconds before you hear them bickering.
> "Why the hell are you the only one with a mallet?  Listen to meAWAGHGHHH!"
> "Your ears are so sooffffttt, I'm--ow, ow, ow..."
> "Don't grab me there  You damn pervert!"
> "You started it!  Eek!"
> There's a lot of screaming, and the rabbit youkai come tumbling out of the bamboo and are now wrestling in the dirt.  The one with the mallet is whacking the large-chested one, who is pulling the silky-haired's hair and ears, who is in turn pulling the last youkai rabbit's fuzzy ears...They don't even seem to notice that they're out in the open.  Cirno crouches down and watches them beat each other black and blue.
> Mokou whistles through her teeth, impressed.

>"Oi, Cirno, can you make a big ice cage to trap them with here?"

[日巫子]

>"Oi, Cirno, can you make a big ice cage to trap them with here?"

> Cirno leaps to her feet.  "Yes!"
> She claps her palms together.  Ice crystals shoot from her wings and form a domed cage around the fighting rabbits.  They don't even notice, but the cage doesn't even break when it's accidentally hit by the mallet.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Let up on the jealousy now; assuming we can.
>If not, just watch the puppets dance, ahahahaha!

[日巫子]

>Let up on the jealousy now; assuming we can.
>If not, just watch the puppets dance, ahahahaha!

> You've already succeeded in capturing the rabbits, so you ease up on the jealousy.
> The rabbits are wearing themselves out, anyway.  The silky-haired one leans against the ice cage to catch her breath.
> "Haahh...ha...so cool...huh?"
> The other rabbits notice the cage.  When they look out and see you, Cirno, and Mokou, the begin to panic.
> They're screaming stuff like "gyaahh, this wasn't supposed to happen!" and "what is this?  it's as hard as rock!" and "we're gonna die!"
> Mokou stomps her foot on the ground, sending up a small plume of flames.  It's enough to make them sit down and shut up.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hi gang. What's up?"

[日巫子]

>"Hi gang. What's up?"

> You ask the rabbits how things are going, but they just sit and fidget uncomfortably.
> The one with the mallet smiles awkwardly and shrinks back.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Now now, don't be shy. We're all friends here, aren't we? And friends help each other out. Like, if you helped us out of our thing, we might help you out of your thing."
>Glance toward the cage.

[日巫子]

>"Now now, don't be shy. We're all friends here, aren't we? And friends help each other out. Like, if you helped us out of our thing, we might help you out of your thing."
>Glance toward the cage.

> "Like hell we wiOW!"  The fluffy-eared rabbit is interrupted with a punch in the head, courtesy of the large-chested rabbit.
> "Don't make it worse!"
> The silky-haired rabbit stares you down.  "And what's your thing?"
