Sanae Quest (Part 4)

[Hello Purvis]

Radio Towers are well known for their subtle and hidden natures.

[Sect]

That they are.

In any case, do we really want to try to find our way through the forest, trying to find the damned thing? Hang around here for a while? Go home? Go bother someone else? I wouldn't mind hanging around here for a while, but I doubt Sanae's abandoned so much of her common sense that she'll traipse around the forest tonight.

[Sect]

Well, all right then.

> "So, did you have any plans tonight?"

[日巫子]

> "So, did you have any plans tonight?"

> Remilia shakes her head.  "I do not.  What about you, Patchy?"
> "Ineedtoorganizesomethings..."

[Sect]

> Frown. "Well, darn. I'm wide awake because I ended sleeping in late... really late... and most of the things I need to get done I need to wait until daylight. Going into the forest to find that tower's a terrible idea at this time, too..."

> "And yet you say that in the presence of a vampire?" Remilia asks, steepling her fingers.

> _

[Sect]

> "Well, I'm human, and my night vision is terrible, especially compared to yours, I think. I'd probably end up running into trees the entire time rather than find the tower."

[日巫子]

> "Well, I'm human, and my night vision is terrible, especially compared to yours, I think. I'd probably end up running into trees the entire time rather than find the tower."

> "And you wished to utilize this tower for increased communication throughout Gensokyo?"

> _

[Sect]

> "Hm... well, yeah. It'd be pretty useful to be able to talk to people quickly instead of having to fly halfway across the country to contact them. I had trouble keeping track of Reimu a few days ago when we were dealing with an incident, and cell phones would've been useful."

[日巫子]

> "Hm... well, yeah. It'd be pretty useful to be able to talk to people quickly instead of having to fly halfway across the country to contact them. I had trouble keeping track of Reimu a few days ago when we were dealing with an incident, and cell phones would've been useful."

> "And you are saying that anyone could use these 'cell phones'?"

> _

[Blitzer]

>"Well, if they have one, they can, and if they don't know how, they can just learn how. It's not hard."

[日巫子]

>"Well, if they have one, they can, and if they don't know how, they can just learn how. It's not hard."

> "Hmmm..."
> "I would like to see this tower myself, so that I may also use a 'cell phone'," Remilia says.  "Take me to it immediately."

> _

[Sect]

Well, I guess we know what we're doing tonight.

> "Um, okay! I don't mind at all."
> Did the newspaper give any distinguishing features or landmarks near the radio tower? Can the tower be seen above the tree line?

[日巫子]

> "Um, okay! I don't mind at all."
> Did the newspaper give any distinguishing features or landmarks near the radio tower? Can the tower be seen above the tree line?

> "Good."  Remilia calls out to Sakuya.  "Sakuya!  Please fetch me my coat!"
> "Right away, Milady."  Sakuya disappears into thin air.
> There don't seem to be too many distinguishing features near the tower, but it looks like it's tall enough to be seen above the tree line.

> _

[Sect]

> Hm... we might need to fly over the Forest of Magic quite a bit to spot it... darn, we should've asked Aya a little more about it.
> If there's a tree near us, absent mindedly pluck a miracle fruit from it and snack on it while looking at the article. Maybe there's some clues in the article about the exact location...

[日巫子]

> If there's a tree near us, absent mindedly pluck a miracle fruit from it and snack on it while looking at the article. Maybe there's some clues in the article about the exact location...

> You should've asked Aya; she would've known...
> There aren't any trees within your vincity, but you read the article over anyway.
> It starts off by saying how a new enigma from the Outside World has been discovered in the Forest of Magic, and further investigation has been performed by request of some curious magicians living in the vincity...oh, magicians?  The article then goes on to describe how there were faeries discovered playing there day and night, decorating the place with flowers as vines grew over...okay, that's pretty much what you get from skimming through the article.  Marisa lived in the Forest of Magic, didn't she?
> Meanwhile, Sakuya is helping Remilia put on her coat.  Even her coat has slits cut in it for her wings.

> _

[Sect]

> Having wings must be a hassle...
> Put away the newspaper and stand up.
> "The article says that a couple of magicians asked Aya to take a look at the tower. Maybe one of them was Marisa..."

[日巫子]

> Having wings must be a hassle...
> Put away the newspaper and stand up.
> "The article says that a couple of magicians asked Aya to take a look at the tower. Maybe one of them was Marisa..."

> You're glad you don't have wings.  You'd have to cut up all of your clothes...
> You put away the newspaper and stand up.  Was one of the magicians Marisa...?
> "TheblackwhitedoesliveintheForestofMagic..." Patchouli mumbles.

> _

[Sect]

> "Hm... drat, if it were earlier in the night, I would go over there to see if she knows where exactly it is."
> We know where in the forest Marisa lives, right?

[日巫子]

> "Hm... drat, if it were earlier in the night, I would go over there to see if she knows where exactly it is."
> We know where in the forest Marisa lives, right?

> "Perhaps you are more aware of what it is like to be nocturnal?" Remilia asks.
> You remember the general area she lives in, but you think there might have been someone else living nearby...If you're not careful, you might end up at the wrong house.

> _

[Sect]

> Well, knowing Marisa, it'll probably be the messy house with all the stuff that isn't hers inside.
> "Yeah, I think I'm starting to see the picture, Miss Scarlet. Is Sakuya or Miss Knowledge coming along?"

[日巫子]

> Well, knowing Marisa, it'll probably be the messy house with all the stuff that isn't hers inside.
> "Yeah, I think I'm starting to see the picture, Miss Scarlet. Is Sakuya or Miss Knowledge coming along?"

> Marisa's house is probably cluttered with stolen stuff.
> "I will also be accompanying Milady," Sakuya says.  When did she have a scarf?
> Patchouli shakes her head and buries her face in her book.

> _

[Sect]

> "Okay, then, let's go!"
> Get our move out on, and start heading to the front door.
> "Bye Miss Knowledge!"

[日巫子]

> "Okay, then, let's go!"
> Get our move out on, and start heading to the front door.
> "Bye Miss Knowledge!"

> The three of you start to head out.  As you leave, you bid farewell to Patchouli.  She peeks over the top of her book and nods.
> You, Sakuya, and Remilia are now standing outside of the front doors of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

> _

[Sect]

> Start heading through the gates, and wave at the gatekeeper. "Keep up the good work!"
> "So, should we wake Marisa up to see if she knows where exactly the tower is? It should be above the treeline, anyways, but it might save us time if she knows where it is."

[日巫子]

> Start heading through the gates, and wave at the gatekeeper. "Keep up the good work!"
> "So, should we wake Marisa up to see if she knows where exactly the tower is? It should be above the treeline, anyways, but it might save us time if she knows where it is."

> The three of you head through the gates, and you wave to the gatekeeper.
> "I'll do my best," the woman says, grinning a little.  Remilia scowls.  Sakuya flat-out ignores her.
> "After all the books she has stolen from Patchy's library, she should not mind," Remilia says.

> _

[Sect]

> "Good point, I think. Sakuya, do you know where exactly she lives? I know the general area, but I don't want to knock on the wrong door by accident."
> If Sakuya leads the way, follow.

[日巫子]

> "Good point, I think. Sakuya, do you know where exactly she lives? I know the general area, but I don't want to knock on the wrong door by accident."
> If Sakuya leads the way, follow.

> "I only know the general area, as well, but it shouldn't be that hard."  Sakuya takes off into the air, and you and Remilia follow.
> Flying instead of walking yields great progress, as it only takes a few minutes to reach the Forest of Magic.  It's too dark to see if the radio tower is here, but Sakuya at least seems to know where she's going.  The three of you soon land in the forest, where there is still snow on the ground.  Remilia hovers a few inches to keep her shoes from getting wet.
> "Marisa's house should be around here..." Sakuya says.

> _

[Sect]

> Keep an eye out! Don't use a danmaku light ball, since it might mess up Remilia and our own night vision.
> "Who else lives in the forest? The only one I know that lives here is Marisa."

[日巫子]

> Keep an eye out! Don't use a danmaku light ball, since it might mess up Remilia and our own night vision.
> "Who else lives in the forest? The only one I know that lives here is Marisa."

> You keep a close eye out, but you don't summon any danmaku.  There is a vampire present, after all.
> You ask who else lives in the forest.  There's Marisa, of course, but the article said magicians.
> "There's a puppeteer by the name of Alice Margatroid who lives here."
