>By 'not exactly sure' does that mean we don't know it's location well enough to try navigating towards it without a serious risk of losing ourselves entirely?
>What's the closest sizable island to Guest Island?

[Hello Purvis]

>By 'not exactly sure' does that mean we don't know it's location well enough to try navigating towards it without a serious risk of losing ourselves entirely?
>What's the closest sizable island to Guest Island?

>You would run a very significant risk of getting lost if you tried to find it as things are.
>You believe it would be a forested island that should be somewhere over where Hina's forest could be, southwest of Guest Island, if you remember the island motions correctly.

>You believe it would be a forested island that should be somewhere over where Hina's forest could be, southwest of Guest Island, if you remember the island motions correctly.

>Do we know a way to get to that island? Possibly by jumping between nearer islands along the way?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we know a way to get to that island? Possibly by jumping between nearer islands along the way?

>You have a somewhat better idea, but you would first back to backtrack the way you originally came, and there's a pretty good chance it would involve taking a longer trip into the void after that.

>You have a somewhat better idea, but you would first back to backtrack the way you originally came, and there's a pretty good chance it would involve taking a longer trip into the void after that.

>Do we think said trip into the void would be made with enough confidence to be at least relatively safe, though?

>Do we really still have our shawl?
>And shouldn't more than one spellcard be partially expended?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we think said trip into the void would be made with enough confidence to be at least relatively safe, though?

>Do we really still have our shawl?
>And shouldn't more than one spellcard be partially expended?

>You're still a little rattled by nearly missing your target last time. You really don't know if you can.
>No and yes. The Database is being persnickity, please watch warmly while a hammer is found.

[DracoOmega]

>Are there any other islands, at any point along the chain of what we have traveled or feel comfortable traveling, that we have not visited?
>Are there any notable places on any of the islands we can comfortably reached that we have not looked at?

[Kilgamayan]

> If the Dragon can contact us at any time, does that mean it knows where we are at all times?

> Well, whatever we're looking for, it doesn't seem to be in here.
> Leave The Dragon's room and, assuming nothing stops us, head back to our room.

[Hello Purvis]

>Are there any other islands, at any point along the chain of what we have traveled or feel comfortable traveling, that we have not visited?
>Are there any notable places on any of the islands we can comfortably reached that we have not looked at?

>Nothing significant. You think there is a small town that is not a huge distance southeast of Orchard Isle, but don't have an exact idea of how far southeast.
>There is a town on this island; the isle where you found Nitori's shadow has a few lakes and faerie haunts.

> If the Dragon can contact us at any time, does that mean it knows where we are at all times?

> Well, whatever we're looking for, it doesn't seem to be in here.
> Leave The Dragon's room and, assuming nothing stops us, head back to our room.

>You aren't sure how aware it is of you at any given time time. But, you are certain that if it wants you, it will find you.
>You leave the Dragon's Chamber and return to your room.

[Kilgamayan]

> Assuming this is supposed to be a shadow of what our room looked like before the islands fell, recall where we stored our knife and retrieve its shadowy counterpart.

[Hello Purvis]

> Assuming this is supposed to be a shadow of what our room looked like before the islands fell, recall where we stored our knife and retrieve its shadowy counterpart.

>It is in a drawer of your desk.
>You obtain: Shadow Knife.

[DracoOmega]

>Do we have a spare shawl in here?
>If so, take it and equip it in the usual manner

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we know which room in the Hinanai Shrine is Tenshi's personal quarters?
> Do we know where she stayed while the shrine was being renovated?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we have a spare shawl in here?
>If so, take it and equip it in the usual manner

>You have several in your wardrobe
>You obtain: Shadow Shawl

> Do we know which room in the Hinanai Shrine is Tenshi's personal quarters?
> Do we know where she stayed while the shrine was being renovated?

>Not off the top of your head.
>She had a guest room here at the Palace.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Head to said guest room.

[Hello Purvis]

> Head to said guest room.

>You leave your room, and follow the uncolored halls through the Dragon Palace. Along the way, you note the various artworks and decor that unobtrusively line the halls and cannot help but wonder how many of them have been ruined by the fall. Soon you come to the guest wing. There are many rooms here, as the Dragon Palace sees a fair share of travelers from across Bhava-Agra. Tenshi's room takes a little time to locate, but upon entering you are sure you're in the right place. One of her dresses has been tossed carelessly over the bed,  which hasn't been properly made.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Take stock of the rest of the room.
> "Tenshi?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Take stock of the rest of the room.
> "Tenshi?"

>The room itself isn't very impressive; it's not really meant for people to linger about. There is a best and a small box for storing things, and a writing desk in the corner near the window.
>You call out for Tenshi, and hear nothing in reply.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> The floor is currently stone, right?
> Close the door to Tenshi's room if we opened it, head back 'outside' and find a decent patch of dirt with which to write.
> "Nitori, how much control do you have over your shape?"

[Hello Purvis]

> The floor is currently stone, right?
> Close the door to Tenshi's room if we opened it, head back 'outside' and find a decent patch of dirt with which to write.
> "Nitori, how much control do you have over your shape?"

>It is.
>You close the door to Tenshi's room and head back outside.
>You ask Nitori, and she kneels down to write: "I have no idea what you're asking. About as much as always, I guess?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, I was wondering, since you're a shadow from this perspective, maybe you could bend or stretch or shrink or something. I guess not, then, huh?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, I was wondering, since you're a shadow from this perspective, maybe you could bend or stretch or shrink or something. I guess not, then, huh?"

>There is a pause. You can see her balling up her fists and visibly concentrating. Then she writes, "No luck. What'd you want me to do with that, anyways?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I was hoping it would make for easier transportation for you, and possibly effectiveness in combat later, depending on circumstances once we get out of here."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I was hoping it would make for easier transportation for you, and possibly effectiveness in combat later, depending on circumstances once we get out of here."

>Nitori writes, "As far as I can tell, I'm pretty much a ghost here, only more useless since I don't think I'm very cold, either. I don't think I can really touch anything here."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm. If I cup my hands around my mouth to yell, are you forced to do so as well, or could you cover your own ears?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm. If I cup my hands around my mouth to yell, are you forced to do so as well, or could you cover your own ears?"

>She writes: "I think I have to follow you in pretty much everything. It's really strange, and uncomfortable if I'm too far away from what you're doing. You can't hear me, but I'm saying everything you are, too."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Then how do you ever act on your own?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Then how do you ever act on your own?"

>She writes: "When you're not moving something, I can move on my own. If you're not using your arms, for instance, I can use mine."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I see. I apologize for subject you to all this, then. But I'm about to start shouting, so please try your best to cope, okay?"
> After Nitori's written response, get up and fly to the top of the Palace.
