>You are Patchouli Knowledge! (http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/642/touhoutewiwithcarrotchi.png) Hooray!
>You are Gensokyo's greatest freeloader. You've successfully fooled everything into thinking you are really smart, but in reality you're just good at research. You live in Scarlet Devil Mansion, and your conviction that the maid is trying kill has led you to summon a familiar to serve your tea. You have health issues, which have kept you from reaching your full potential. You've written several books about various topics. Marisa has stolen most of these books and has promised she has willed them back to you.
>You are presently in the Library of Scarlet Devil Mansion. Rows upon rows of old, familiar books line the walls and shelves along the floor, on more topics than you can possibly comprehend. Unfortunately, they are also in more languages than you can possibly comprehend as well, leaving a lot of the books outside of your ability to read. Here and there, you can see books of magic flying about and spontaneously reshelving themselves; you long ago gave up on trying to organize everything. Obvious exits are north.
>It is almost 90 degrees Fahrenheit to today; unseasonably warm for November. It has been like this for a week now, which has been terribly irksome. Your hands get all sweaty, and that stains the precious books. Fall is supposed for be for reading, dammit!

> Fall off your chair
>You fall off your chair! Ow! What convinced you this was a good idea?
>develop anti-humidity spell for hands, have no reason to leave
>Anti-Humidity spells are the holy grail of library science. You theoretically develop one if you could get your hands on the correct components.
>Search for Dennis.
>If Dennis is not to be found, search for Towels.
>You find a book by Dennis Boryzky called "For Whom the Towels Shall Weep". Unfortunately, aside from the title, it is written in Bulgarian.

> North
>You leave the Library.
>You enter the foyer of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Here you can see many expensive artworks covering the walls, and a few classical statues in tastefully arranged places. Grand stairways on either side of the foyer elegantly wend upwards toward a balcony that opens to the tower where Remilia stays. To the east are the maids' quarters, and to the west is the kitchen. To the south you can see elegant double doors leading outside. Off to the the side near the kitchen entrance is a small door leading to the basement.
>Sakuya is here, giving some maids some their orders. As they fly off, she notices you and for a moment, you suspect you see a murderous glare in her eyes. But if so, it only lasts for a fraction of a second, before she bows stiffly toward you.
>Obvious exits are SouthA, SouthB, East, WestA, WestB, and North

>You ponder for a moment, then recall a scrap from a book you read a bit ago on the subject. Taking a moment to focus, you make a gesture that you pass off as scratching your chin, and focus on the invisible wind and...you discover that Sakuya has a healthy skeletal structure. You can only hold the effect for a moment anyways.
>You are now: A little winded

>"I don't smell anything..." Sakuya says, glancing toward the kitchen and sniffing at the air.
>You go North.
>You step outside, and are welcomed by an oppressive wave of heat. What are the Aki Sisters thinking?! Up ahead, you can see Meiling's guard station. She is outside, though her back is presently turned to you. A wrought iron wall blocks off the mansion from the outside world. To the east, you see a statue garden, and to the west a fountain, presently not operational.
>Obvious Exits are North, West, East, and South.

>Chewing Gum

>You head toward Guard Station. Hong Meiling hears you approach, looks over her shoulder, and smiles. "Yo P," she says, "How it hangin'?" Then she frowns. "Don't need to answer that, looks like. C'mon in."
>Meiling leads you into the guard station, which is stuffy and smells of stale sweat. But there is a chair there. Ah, it's good to be off one's feet.

>Ask Meiling who the hell would kidnap Cirno.
>Oh no, you're not falling for that one again.

>You leave the Guard Station.
>You are standing in front of Scarlet Devil Mansion. To the north, you can see a large lake, a well-worn path running alongside its banks. Off to the west side of the gates is Meiling's guard station. Obvious exits are South, East, WestA, and WestB

To the east, you can see a small but well-maintained cabin; there is presently a little doll flitting about its roof with a hammer and some nails, doing repairs. The path continues northward and around the rest of the lake. Obvious exits are west, east, and north.

>The doll nods, and disappears into the cabin through an open window.
>A moment later, the door opens and Alice steps out. A delicious breeze from within accompanies her. "Oh, hello there!" she says, eyebrows raised a little, then smiling. "I didn't expect you to drop in. What can I do for you?"

>If no, then ask to come in.
>"I'm afraid not," says Alice. "But please, come in."
>You enter Alice's home.
>The first thing you notice is that there are dolls everywhere, waving fans and creating a cacophony of breezes. It's still hot, but the flowing air takes much of the bite off of the weather. The house itself is rather simple and unadorned, but there are shelves full of non-animate dolls everywhere. As well, there are an abnormal number of doilies about, covering pretty much every surface. You are in what seems to be a combination of living room and dining room, with a small kitchen off to the side. Through an open door, you can see Alice's bedroom, which is dominated by a hand-powered sewing machine.
>"Marisa told me she'd return all of my books if I drank the entire lake. I don't have enough power to purify it by myself, though. I need your help."
>"She must have been hitting the sauce again," says Alice, chuckling. "I'm not very good at that kind of magic, myself. Maybe it would be easier to find something else to purify it with? And," she adds with a sidelong glance, "where are you going to find room for it all?"

>"Oh wow, you're really going to try for it?" says Alice as she sits across from you. "I can't tell you anything about sun shards or the destructor or bamboo flowers, but I can help out with the Eighth Force. It's the color no one can see. From everything I've been able to find, it is associated with some ancient power, but isn't everything these days? From what I recall, you can find it at a place where there are no shadows."
>A doll places a cup of ice tea in front of you.
>"Let me worry about where it's all going. What would you suggest for a purifier? My first thought is Yukari but that's Yukari. Do you think Eirin would have something?"
>Alice frowns. "I...wouldn't trust Yukari with something like that, if I were being completely honest. Eirin might well have something, too. Maybe Rinnosuke could help out?"

The lake bank is wide and shallow, with easy accommodation for several people to fish if they so choose, there is a discarded fishing pole here as testament to this fact.

>"I worry exactly enough, I'll have you know! It's a harsh, dangerous world out there. And you with your health and your magic! Oy, it keeps us up at dawn! And that attack? Just your health acting up in the weather, I'd imagine. Oh, you don't know how bad you have it some times, Patchouli!

>"Flandre? Well, I won't lie, that Marisa sorted her out better than I ever could. It's why I turn a blind eye to all the things she steals! It would break little Flan's heart if I turned her away."

>You extricate yourself from Remilia before she can guilt you any further.
>You make your way back down to the foyer, then enter the basement door.
>The stairway down to the basement spirals downward, making a complete circle before ending in another door. You open that door and enter Flandre's room.
>It is pleasantly cool down here, as basements tend to be. The once-gloomy stone blocks have been painted a pastel pink, and the floor has been carpeted. Several toys are scattered about, most of them fairly new and including a sizable number of legos. Flandre sits on the edge of her bed, reading a very thick book while kicking her feet in the air idly. She doesn't seem to have noticed you yet.

>You enter and prepare to give Flandre the pen and notebook when she looks over and notices you. "Patch-Patch!" she cries. Before you can do much else, Flandre has leaped from the bed and firmly enfolded your torso in a hug. "How are you Patch-Patch?" She continues, "This book you gave me to read is really great! Shiva is such a cool guy! He mediates all the time and got married and isn't afraid of anything! I'm gonna be just like him when I grow up! He's way better that stinky old Surtr that Sakuya likes. Surtr sucks!"

>You attempt to headbutt Flandre. Unfortunately, whilst shortness is one of your virtues, Flandre has you beaten in that department. And given that she is firmly attached to you at the moment, you cannot get the space needed to equalize that advantage.
>"And Shiva has arms all over the place! It's so cool! He can do all kinds of things with them! And Sati trtied to marry him and she couldn't so she set herself on fire and then was reborn as Parvati and he married her and it's sooooo romantic because he wasn't supposed to but he did!"

>You watch as Flandre takes a piece of paper and writes: "Patch-Patch has my blessings! -Flandre" Then she adds a few stars around her name, then kisses the page with an exaggerated "Mwa!" sound and hands it to you. "Here you go!"
>You gain: Blessing of the Great Destructor.

-
>Thank Flan.
>Depart for the kitchen in search of hot sauce.
>"You're welcome, Patch-Patch!" says Flandre, "Bring me a present when you're done!"
>You leave the basement and head into the kitchen. After the plesantly cool basement, the wave of heat from the kitchen is almost like a walking into a wall. Dozens of maids rush to and fro, preparing the upcoming meal. There are numerous ranges and ovens, most of them in use. The smell of scores of ingredients battle for your nose's attention. Plates clatter, voices blend together into in loud babble, and pans sizzle and pop on their stove. In the middle of all this chaos is Sakuya, barking orders to the maids. She quickly notices you and frowns. "If you wish for something, you need only have asked rather than come here. If you need a cup of tea or something to eat, I will gladly prepare them for you myself."
>Do the Mario!
>You swing your arms from side to side, but can't remember the rest.

>Sakuya gives you a look. Then she shouts an order to one of the more idle maids. A moment later, you are presented with a bottle of This Sauce Will Kill You For Reals.
>You leave, and trek back to town; passing Lyrica who is still practicing away.
>The Tavern is empty, except for Tenshi and Marisa; the latter lounging in a booth. "Hey!" says Tenshi as you come in, "I didn't see Yuka at all!"

>"You want to know about the what what?" Tenshi replies.
>With that, you leave the tavern and make you way to the Kourindou intersection, and turn east toward the mountains.
>You walk along a stretch of road leading toward the mountains. Up ahead, you see a smallish house with the remains of a large and mostly harvested garden on the north side of the raid. Among the husks and remains of the harvest crops is Chen, dozing away. Obvious exits are east, west, and north.

>curse your lack of camera for photographing sleepyChen, if only to bribe Ran with

>Well it's too late for that.
>You start to ask Marisa about gifts, but Chen cuts you off, "What was that for, ya big jerk!"

>You continue Eastward.
>You come to a light forest, full of leaving rain done from above. Minoriko is sitting on a rock with a variety of foodstuffs in front of her, inspecting them. The foostuffs are oddly translucent, you can she her hand through an apple she is considering. Obvious exits are east and west.

-
>"Ah, Minoriko. I don't suppose you have an explanation for this heat? Or the food, I suppose..."
>"Oh!" says Minoriko, "Hello there. These?" she holds up a half-way invisible yam, "They're offerings, of course. As for the heat, well, I don't know what's wrong. We're trying to cool it down, but usually the heat doesn't fight back so hard..."

>You really have no idea about matters of faith, save that offers work. Upon asking, Minoriko says, "These are the spirits of the offerings, you see. They were given earnestly by the farmers, who then took the earthly essences for themselves."
>"Well, it could be her," Minoriko agrees. "Hopefully she'll cut it out, shortly."

-
>"How do you usually 'fight the heat' to adjust to fall? I suspect something's wrong."
>tap barrel to try and figure out contents
>Minoriko frowns for a moment, then says, "It's a little difficult to sum up. Let's say it's akin to the way you instinctively understand and employ grammar on words you have never heard conjugated before. It's merely something we do when the proper time comes. The trouble is that we can't figure out what is wrong. Shizuha is out somewhere looking for clues."
>You tap the barrel, and learn nothing. However, the sloshing sound you hear as Marisa shifts it suggests it is full of liquid.
>_
-
>"Intriguing... this may be worth studying. But not now, of course. Putting an end to this horrible heat wave is more important."
>"... perhaps it is an inability of forcing the cold, more than the heat fighting on its own? Come to think of it, Cirno has been missing, and Mokou might be up to something... think there may be a connection?"

>Minoriko just sort of nods along. Then she says, "These? I'm checking them for quality. Kanako and Suwako and all the rest are going to want a share, and it doesn't do to barter when you don't know the quality of your own goods!" she chuckles, as though she told a joke.

>You continue eastwards.
>You come to a village alongside a swift river, set among a sizable field of cattails and other riverside plants. The slope here is very noticable. The houses are designed to blend in with the scenery, having a sort of rounded look that makes one thing of rocks smoothed by flowing water; many of them seem to face or open directly into the river. There is one notable exception to this; a rather large warehouse at the edge of the village. There was certainly the effort made to make it look less boxy and more a part of the world around it, but there's really only so much one can do with a big ole warehouse. Several kappa mill about. Obvious exits are west, south, and east.

The river becomes a cascade, sending up a gentle cool mist that is positively refreshing in this weather. Though the mountain slope is rather harsh, you are pretty sure you can make your way up it. Thankfully, someone has carved in stairs for the more severe bits. Regardless, the thought makes your asthma hurt. Here and there, the mountainside is dotted with curious houses built on stilts. Crows are everywhere, and you can see a couple of tengu here and there lazing about. At the top, you can see the Moriya Shrine. Obvious exits are east and west.
>Enter the warehouse in search of hot sauce.
>If hot sauce is discovered, obtain it.
>Uuu~~
>No wait, you double back to the warehouse instead.
>The warehouse sits on the edge of the kappa village, being a warehouse. There is a small door to the side, clearly meant for personal use, and a large bay-style door for large items. Both are thrown wide open, and you can see Nitori inside, working on some large metal thing. Obvious exits are North, SouthA and SouthB

A path leads around the shrine to a pond with several Onbashira arranged in it. A paved walkway leads to the shrine itself. Sanae is busy sweeping the path here, looking rather distracted.

>"Y-yes, Suwako-sama!" says Sanae, her eyes wide. She looks at you for a moment, her face betraying her lack of comprehension on the matter at hand. Then she starts to hit you with her broom. Thankfully, it's made of bundled straw, so it's nowhere near as bad as being strangled, but it's still rather unpleasant.

>Marisa cackles; and even Sanae-slows down from her half-hearted beating to laugh.
>"Wriggle didn't drink it from it and get people germs in it!" Suwako shouts, futilely trying to kick at you despite there being well over two yards of space between you. "And I'm not convinced you didn't take it to begin with!"

>Kanako does not look at the list.
>You apologize to Suwako. "Yeah..." she replies, grumbling, "maybe I got a little tempermental...since it you got people germs in it..."
>You vow to find Wriggle and smite her most thoroughly. "I think that would be an excellent repayment for that became of Suwako's frog oil," says Kanako. "Don't you agree, Suwako?" Suwako mutters something. "I said," Kanako repeats, and you swear you can hear a snake's hiss in her voice, "don't you agree?"

>"Do you really need my help to capture Wriggle?" asks Marisa. "Or just to find her?"
>You bid the deities farewell and makes your way out of the Shrine. Thankfully, Suwako seems to have calmed down enough that she doesn't try to mangle you upon being put down.
>You make your way back down to the forest near the base of Youkai Mountain. The trip down the cliffside it rather harrowing, but otherwise things go smoothly.
>You are in a thickly wooded area; if the trees had their leaves you suspect it would be quite dark here. The ground here is inclines gently but firmly upwards, and you can hear a river up head. To the south, you see a small house surrounded by bushes clinging vainly to their leaves; were it summer you wouldn't notice the house at all. Obvious exits are East, West, and South.

I've been asking for hot sauce even though I have no idea why I would want it, and I drank some when I knew it would just burn my tongue. I've been attempting maneuvers that were physically beyond me. I'm in no condition to be walking around like this. I've somehow made myself into some sort of errand girl for people all over Gensokyo to the point where I had to enlist this Black-white's help just to do anything. I'm out searching for people who I've barely even talked to before - Wriggle; Cirno; Keine; Mokou. And to top it all off, the absolute worst part of this is that I can't stop "Mukyu"-ing in front of other people.

>You are in the guest room that you have bummed off Remilia for the past century or so. Koakuma usually keeps it clean and well-maintained, but since she is on vacation things are rather dusty now and the bed is a frightful mess. You would ask the maids to handle it, but they work for Sakuya and might try something funny on her orders. The room is fairly empty. All you really keep here and some spare clothes, the little money you have, and your spellcards. Obvious exits are north.

>The wave of heat from the kitchen is almost like a walking into a wall. Dozens of maids rush to and fro, preparing the upcoming meal. There are numerous ranges and ovens, most of them in use. The smell of scores of ingredients battle for your nose's attention. Plates clatter, voices blend together into in loud babble, and pans sizzle and pop on their stove.

>You might be able to get one from Kourindou, if any are in stock. There's a couple of maps back at the library, but they are terribly outdated and wouldn't be very useful. If there is someone whose job or hobbies involved maps in some way, you might be able to ask them.

>"Cirno's performing inside," she says.
>You thrust the list at Reisen, whilst studying her shoes. "If you want to talk about Bamboo Flowers, you probably want to talk with Master or the Princess. You can go right in."
> Reisen says, "Tewi is out right now, probably off scamming some farmers or something."
>"I don't see Keine very often, I'm afraid."
>You go west!
>You come to a simple, elegantly designed hallway that intersects with another of similar design. The walls here are laquered wood painted over with scenes of trees in full bloom. It is surprisingly and refreshingly cool in here! Up ahead, you can hear some rather discordant violin music, and voices you can't quite make out. Obvious exits are North, South, East, and West.

>Those eyes! Agh! They just freak you out so much!
>You head toward the music. You quickly realize that you'll need to spell that with quotation marks, because it is pretty horrible.
>You enter an open courtyard. The sun beats down from above, but it is still refreshingly cool here. A stage has been set in the middle of the courtyard, amidst leafless cherry trees, where Cirno and Lunasa are presently performing. Cirno seems to be attempting some hip-hop, but she has no flow at all and mostly she is just repeating "What!", "What's up!", and "Yeah!". Regardless, she seems to be enjoying herself, which is more than that can be said for Lunasa, who looks somewhere between mortified and bored stiff while playing a simple and highly repetitive turn. There are bunnies everywhere here, as well as Kaguya, who all seem to be mostly ignoring the show. Murasa sits at a table, enjoying a beverage. You sense a barrier overhead, which probably serves to keep the cool air in. Obvious exits are east and west.
> Vow not to mukyu until you leave the mansion
> Mukyu anyway
>You make a vow and break it just as quickly. Good thing you don't have any geases on you! Luckily, it doesn't seem anyone has heard you over Cirno's terrible rap.

>Thankfully this isn't necessary. You are able to make your way in and attract Lunasa's attention easily enough, it's not as though she's actually busy. "Sorry," she says, "We have a gig."
>Cirno is too busy trying and failing to throw some rhymes to notice your attempts to slip her some hot sauce.

But if you could arrange for something that does the task as well without too much trouble and without retaining some musicians for so long, I would be persuaded to part with a little."
>You don't notice anything else missing.
>Ask all present about Jeff K. Anon.
>Cirno is too busy to reply. Lunasa shakes her head and Murasa simply gives a gruff, "Never heard of him." Kaguya frowns, and looks toward the sky for a moment. "I am afraid that is the first time I have heard that name," she says. "But I cannot deny that it sounds very familiar..."
-

We've got the will, just not, y'know, the know how. Or the money. I was kinda hoping to see if they had some good cheap bamboo here, but what they got they intend to use."

>You start to pull out Wood Sign: Sylphae Horn, then stop.
>Mystia is clearly angry about this whole situation. She seems quite willing to beat you down for Wriggle's sake. Whether she can pull it off, well, who knows?
>You raise your hands and speak. Mystia does you the honor of not using her spellcard while you do. "Wriggle's not been doing anything bad enough to warrant you breaking into her house and attacking her like some third rate Kogasa! And we already know what frogs do to insects anyways! Why should we trust Suwako?"
>_
-
> "Because she could most likely wipe the floor with all three of us if we don't settle this soon".
-
> Mukyu in hopes that it'll disarm her through the power of laughter
> "That's why you should go with her. Suwako just wants an answer, but if she flips out, you would be there to keep her at bay. Additionally, Kanako and Sanae don't want anyone to get hurt, so the numbers are against Suwako. I didn't mean anything personal against Wriggle, but today has been a very strange day; I'd like to apologize but I really need her to go to the Moriya Shrine."
-
> "Because she could most likely wipe the floor with all three of us if we don't settle this soon".
>Mystia opens her mouth, and kinda stops in mid sentence. She spends a few moments obviously searching for some kind of objection, then gives up and silently cedes the point.

>"Fine, if she tries to kill Wriggle I'll help her flee. Now will you two go to the shrine?"
-
> "I said I would help but as you can see, I can't do too much in my condition, so you need to come along. If you can get her, bring Daiyousei as well; she nay not be able to help much, but strength in numbers and all that. Could you go get Wriggle now? I really need a rest."

>Wriggle just nods glumly. It seems the recent events have taken the fire out of her.
>You make your way up Youkai mountain. Having been given a day pass, Hina doesn't bother you this time. Getting Wriggle up the steep parts is something of an adventure, but Mystia is well able to handle it.
>You are in the middle of Tengutown. It is not very densely populated, compared to the previous towns you've seen, but there are a few-spire-like buildings with roosts for tengu and stairs for earthbound people. To the east are the grounds of the Moriya Shrine. To the north, Momiji seems to be standing guard in front of a particular building. Obvious exits are north, east, and west.

>You enter the grounds of the Moriya Shrine. It is a rather impressive structure; clearly a lot of love have gone into constructing it. A path leads around the shrine to a pond with several Onbashira arranged in it. A paved walkway leads to the shrine itself. Sanae is scrubbing the stone path. Obvious exits are east, west, and north.
>"Ah, you're back," says Sanae. "Give me a moment, I'll tell Kanako-sama." With that, she heads into the shrine.

> Speak "friend" and enter!
-
>Nyan~!
-
> Speak "friend" and enter!
>You do your best Nue impersonation, then lead Wriggle and Mystia inside the shrine.
>"I'm counting on you," Mystia whispers, with a tone that suggests she might well stab you in the back if you let her down.
>You enter the shrine. The entire building is made of treated but otherwise bare wood. Without paneling or any kind of paint, the shrine has a curious feeling of being just a framework of an actual building. You come to a large open area, where Kanako sits upon a podium, watching the three of you come in. Sanae stands off to her side, while Suwako sits in on the floor in the corner, hugging her knees to her chest and glaring daggers at everyone.
>"Consider your debt paid, Patchouli," says Kanako with a warm smile. Then she looks to Wriggle and says, "So, what are we going to do about this situation?"
>Nyan~!
>"That is not much of a solution," says Kanako.
>_
-
>Get wriggle to apologize to suwako. Hint to sex as payment.
-
>Get wriggle to apologize to suwako. Hint to sex as payment.
>"Wait, what?" Wriggle glances at Suwako, who is currently glaring death in her direction. "Those aren't eyes looking for some tight interfacing, chombatta..."
>You feel a weight lift from your shoulders. The curse is gone!
>"Ummm," says Wriggle, "I...um...hosed when I took your hardware. Sorry! Uh...won't do it again?"
>Suwako snorts derisively.

>Nothing breaks tension like a whole room full of people laughing at you. Even Kanako gets in on the action. You blush fiercely.

-
> "What can Wriggle do to make up for this? There has to be something."
-
> "What can Wriggle do to make up for this? There has to be something."
>"We can start with the legs," says Suwako. Then Kanako gives her a look that stifles whatever she was about to say next.
>"I think..." says Kanako, "that Sanae could use an assistant for the next couple years."
>_
-
> "How many years? And what kind of guarantee can we have that Suwako won't try and maim/kill Wriggle while she's working here?"
-
>Yes, she can be sanae's slave. Bye~
-
> "How many years? And what kind of guarantee can we have that Suwako won't try and maim/kill Wriggle while she's working here?"
>"Yeah!" says Mystia, finally finding her voice. This is probably the first time she's been here, you realize.
>"You have my word," says Kanako, giving Suwako another look. "As for how long? Well, we shall let the value of her labor against the loss determine that. But if you feel you have a better idea in mind, I would not mind hearing it."
>Yes, she can be sanae's slave. Bye~
>"Not a slave," Kanako clarifies. "Let us say indentured."
>_
-
> "Years? I would wager it took Suwako no more than a week to gather the frog oil. The punishment far outweighs the crime. I propose a more appropriate punishment would be the required "humane" harvesting, under Suwako's supervision of, oh, three flasks of frog oil - of the same size as the one that she stole, mind you - and one week's mandatory public service in the way of assisting Sanae with whatever she needs done."
> Recall your extensive knowledge of territorial law.

>"Did you take stupid pills or something?" asks Suwako, "It took me way longer than a couple years to make that, just like I told you last time!"
>You don't know if Gensokyo really has jurisdictions. Legal disputes are kinda uncommon, and tend to be dealt with via some form of action from respected elders or mob justice.
>"As I understand the situation," says Kanako, "This is no different than a person in one city breaking the laws of another. As the Forest of Magic and our temple are not separate nations, I do not see how this is extradition rather than a simple arrest."
>_
-
> Eye Suwako. Wonder if there's a book on frog oil harvesting methodology in the Library.
> Gesture extravagantly at Kanako.
> "On the contrary, your honour. The Moriya shrine is a separate territory unto itself, despite being physically in Gensokyo, due to the forceful nature of its introduction into this land. I understand this allows you to enjoy a degree of sovereignity that, for example, the Forest of Magic does not have. If you wish it to be counted as a simple arrest, you would have to formally declare the Moriya shrine and its land's integration into Gensokyo, becoming an official subject, forfeiting your soveregnity and right to unquestionably govern this land. At which point this case should be taken to the Hakurei shrine maiden. Do you wish this to be the case?"
-
>You are fairly aware of how it's done. Frog Oil is not hard to make, or particularly expensive. But Suwako claimed she didn't use a standard method, if you recall correctly.
>You make a gesture and state your claims.
>"Your line of reasoning doesn't quite fit with the reality of the situation," says Kanako, "But I am curious. What, exactly, are you proposing as an end result to this?"
>_
-
> Brush hair out of eyes artfully.
> "I propose Wriggle's punishment be reduced to three weeks' mandatory public service - two weeks assisting Suwako in her work of harvesting Frog oil using her method, and one week general labor around the Moriya shrine. I trust my client will be treated with respect during this time."

>You make an artful hair brush. If only the others at the mansion could see you now~
>"Hmmm," says Kanako.
>"It takes years!" says Suwako, jumping to her feet, "I don't kill the frogs like you jerks do! That's what makes it better! It's not all full of death! Didn't you listen the last time I told you, stupid!"
>_
-
> Mutter with murderous intent at Mystia: "You are going to owe me so much, night sparrow, that your grandchildren will be indebted to me."
> To Suwako: "...And I will personally work with Suwako on the development of a far more efficient, yet also non-lethal, manner of harvesting frog oil, as long as I am permitted to write a thesis on this and record it in my library archives."

>"Can't be done," Suwako says, sounding a great deal less irritated than beforehand. "Trust me on this one. Frogs are my specialty, I could fill up that whole library of yours with stuff on frogs. It takes time and love to harvest and refine their oil the right way."
>"Knew I shoulda hawked it for more..." Wriggle mutters. Thankfully, it doesn't seem that the others overheard.

> "I only said I would work on developing a method, I made no promises of success. But as that would not be in good faith, perhaps Suwako would settle for a frog oil substitute? I hear bird oil is quite a useful product."

>Unyu in distress.
-
> "Fine, I'll play your game. Wriggle helps Sanae around the shrine twice a week for three years, and assists Suwako in the collection of Frog Oil no more than once a week for five years. Wriggle will also apologize (stare at Wruggle menacingly) properly to Suwako, but she needs to shake hands and forgive her before we move on. Deal?"
> Apologize for the terrible offers earlier, you don't know what came over you!
-
>"I was hoping you would have a clever plan," says Kanako with a chuckle. "Ah well. Have you anything else to add?"
> "I do have a clever plan which I suspect Suwako hasn't considered, but I'm already roped into playing delivery girl for no less than three other contractors, and I do not really have any desire to having a court ruling hanging on such a contract.

>_
-
> It's all for the client, Patchy, hang in there!
> "Since Suwako has not provided the details of her work, I can only assume that her method of harvesting frog oil takes a sufficiently small amount so as not to cause discomfort to the frog, hence why it takes such a long time."
> Sigh.
> "It goes to reason then, that a bigger frog would yield a larger amount of oil, whilst keeping the frog in the same, acceptable condition. There is a certain Oni that I'm sure we all are familiar with who is a ... specialist ... in enlargement magic. I'm sure that with a little know-how her magic could be adapted to frogs."

>"It's a good thought," says Suwako, now sounding calm and oddly professional. "But using magic on the frogs or the oil messes up the purity. Otherwise I would have done it some time ago. I thought about breeding bigger ones, but that would just cause them hereditary problems, and that's irresponsible."
>_
-
> "Suwako, this discussion is bordering on the irresponsible. How am I supposed to solve a problem if I do not even have all the specifications? How do I know whether you've tried cross-breeding, hormonal manipulation or setting up dedicated farms? You mentioned that purity suffers if magic is involved, yet I don't know if you've attempted to manually purify the resultant oil, and what the loss is."

>"I've been doing this for millenia, kiddo," says Suwako. "Pretty much if it can be done, I've tried it. And once you pollute the oil, that's it. Even if you clean it, it doesn't come back. The damage is conceptual, you see. And some of those things you mentioned aren't so good for the frogs, so that ruins it before you can start." If nothing else, Suwako has stopped glaring death at everyone now. "That's the trick, if you mess with the frogs too much, it ruins the oil. The oil has to be in service to the frog, not the frog to the oil, or it's no good."

-

>"Well," says Sanae, fidgeting a little as she is put on the spot. "it would be nice to have someone to sweep up when I need to run to the village. Or help me carry back the groceries..."
>"Purification of the soil for the wetlands and bottoms of lakes," says Suwako. "It helps the tadpoles in the spring. Fingerlings a little bit, too. And...I don't what I'd do with Wriggle. Make sure nothing unpleasant gets into my pond, I suppose."

>"I...think he prayed to me, maybe?" says Suwako. "What is going on here? I remember everyone who prays to me! Agh! Did he or didn't he?" She buries her hands in her hair. "This is going to bother me for ages!"

>You head toward the mansion, and find Flandre much more quickly than you anticipated, as your attention is drawn to a splash sound while you approach the front door. Looking over, you see Flandre is playing in the old fountain, while Sakuya is holding a parasol over her, maneuvering it as needed.

>The one of the maids informs you that the bath is ready. It seems that taking a cool bath has been a popular activity in the mansion lately, so they had one mostly prepared.
>One bath later, you are significantly cleaner and less sore. A fresh set of clothes doesn't feel half bad, either.
>Your Current Condition: Having a Good Day, Refreshed, and Damp-Haired
>You are in the foyer of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Here you can see many expensive artworks covering the walls, and a few classical statues in tastefully arranged places. Grand stairways on either side of the foyer elegantly wend upwards toward a balcony that opens to the tower where Remilia stays. To the east are the maids' quarters, and to the west is the kitchen. To the south you can see elegant double doors leading outside. Off to the the side near the kitchen entrance is a small door leading to the basement.
