...You all just said what I did in two posts. Meanies.

>Bykauren nods. "You may want to get on your way, then. I'll try to explain things to Reimu, if you prefer. As for assisting, I am not sure what help I could be if she is as much of a monster as you say. I suppose I can at least escort you if you would like that."

>"I suppose that will have to do," says Byakuren as she exits the tent, stands, and then has a stretch and a yawn. "Pardon me."

>The three of you quickly make your way through town and up the path to the Hakurei Shrine. You find Reimu sweeping away snow that had drifted back from the path. She looks over at you and Byakuren, and her face darkens. "I'm going to hate this." she says.

>You summarize the situation for Remiu. Thankfully, given her general familiarity with Lunarians and Yorihime, you don't have to spend too long emphasizing things. Reimu nods. "Hmm. So she wants Patchy, eh? That means she's probably gearing up to do it right now. Her cover's been blown, after all, so she'll have to act fast. This is what's going to happen. Someone's going to have to go there and see what's happening, maybe head them off at the pass. Someone's going to need to go warn Scarlet Devil Mansion. And someone's going to need to watch the town in case they decide to cut through here. So, who's doing what?"

>"I wouldn't risk it," says Reimu. "By the time you get out of the bamboo forest, they could have already been there and gone. Okay, if you're going to the Mansion, I guess that leaves me with trying to head them off at the pass," she sighs, then looks at Byakuren, "Guess that leaves you to watch town, Biggun,"
>Byakuren shakes her head. "Please don't call me that."
>"Sure, okay," Reimu replies. "I assume I don't have to tell your job's to stop damage, not fight 'em down?" She looks at you. "I'll make sure things go well here, you get moving."

And here, voices, we need to come up with a plan to take Yorohime. I wasted our surprise round to get the word out. So we'll have to fight her without as much benefit of surprise. Any ideas?

Purple Gem + Tele-Mesmerism might be an option. ...Wait, what does the Green Gem do again? I've forgotten.

>"She's had a spy in Eientei for far too long for this simply to be a search for a particular magician," says Eirin. "She might as well have sent spies underground to look for kappa." Eirin stands and walks toward one of the windows facing the gate, looking toward it. "I am quite certain that suggests she has more interests at heart than justice alone. I am willing gamble that there is as much of a political motive to this as anything else." She smiles sadly. "It seems they still have difficulties with our loyalists in the face of Chang'e."

> "She kept saying you would be willing to step aside and let her take Patchouli. Is this true?"

>"In light of that, I would likely have to," says Eirin. Patchouli gives Eirin an appraising look. "If I am right, Yorihime is doing this to serve as a display of power and loyalty to the capital as much as enforcing any kind of safety of our combined worlds. There's been many questions of the regents' ability to maintain the safety of the capital, given recent events. Yorihime seems to be trying to make a show that they can, and are willing to be aggressive in pursuit of that goal. Were I to stand in her way, well, it would be a sign that I disapprove of my own heirs. And the loyalists would seize upon that, and cause more trouble."
>"So you're willing to sell me up the river, so to speak," says Patchouli darkly.
>"Not quite," says Eirin. "More accurate to say I wouldn't be able to help you out of the river after you've fallen in. But yes, Yorihime is correct. I won't be able to directly help you without causing more damage in the long run. But more pertinently, it makes me wonder what her plans for Eientei are."

>"Does this still end in us needing to kick her ass?"

>"Well, I certainly couldn't order you to do it," says Eirin. "But it seems I wouldn't have to, would I? I daresay it would be best for everyone if she were not able to succeed. Unfortunately, it would destabilize her own own position more, and likely would only sour your name further, Reisen, but it would also convince them that invasions of Gensokyo are as foolish as invasions of the moon."

>"Perhaps," says Eirin. "If we're lucky, we'll have more time than we thought before they come. I don't imagine they'll do anything untoward at Eientei if they go there; even though she is in dishonored exile, the Princess is still the the Princess. I suppose it comes down to what you believe, Reisen, as you were the one that spoke to her. Do you think she'd come here first, or there?"

>"A point," says Patchouli. "It seems I will inevitably be a magnet for them, won't I? I suppose we'll have to use that to our advantage."
>"I have a plan," says Eirin. "It's rather risky, in that it requires us to make several assumptions about Yorihime's plan, but the best I can do under these circumstances. Yorihime is the greatest threat by far, as she can call upon more gods than any of us care to count to empower her. So, perhaps we are best served by making the gods unavailable to her?"
