> ~~Give her a "good game"~~

> You don't want to screw this up, so you hand over the bottle to Ran.
> Ran holds the bottle carefully in both hands. "I'll only let a little bit out, then."
> ~~good game~~
> She pulls off the cork.
> In an instant, a swirling energy comes pouring out. There's a huge gust of wind that swirls around and up the dome. The threads change from white-blue to purple, and the eyes on the walls whirl in their sockets with excitement. With the wind comes a storm of cherry petals, and from the walls and floor sprout flowers. Beautiful flowers, in all sorts of gentle hues. The pleasantly cool wind stays trapped within the dome. What was once intimidating now resembles some sort of fishbowl paradise filled with lilies, cherry blossoms, and other flowers.
> Yukari stirs.
> Her violet eyes flicker open, and she slowly sits up and looks around in a daze.
> "Yuyuko..."

> You stand back and let Ran have this moment. You've already made it possible by providing the bottle of spring itself.
> Ran corks the bottle before any more spring can get out. "Well, we finally found you, Yukari-sama."
> Yukari blinks and looks at her blankly. "Didn't I dissolve the contract? Why are you here?"
> "I haven't seen you in months. I..."
> "You came all this waaay--" Yukari covers her mouth as she yawns.
> Ran nods.
> Yukari reaches up and sleepily tweaks one of Ran's fox ears. "Hmm, can't be helped."

> "Good. Let's see...are you very familiar with Shintoism? Kikuri is the goddess of negotiation, who mediated on behalf of Izanagi and Izanami. At one point after that, even she lost her temper for one reason or another and unleased her divine wrath upon the land. Too assume perfect neutrality, she was enshrined within the moon you see now and sealed away underground. The story is so old that no one's even sure what the truth is. I'm sure even Kikuri forgot the details after a few thousand years."

Feel free to delay this one, if you want. And bedtime for me.
