>wonder how you could possibly explain this to Alice
>"Hey, have you ever visited the Underground?"

>For reals. Nothing sets Alice off like her dolls being abused.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Did you talk to anyone funny there?"
>examine Box of Legos, Crystal Castle, Rusty Piece of Rebar

>"All kinds of people down there are funny!" says the robed figure. "Like Yamame and all the oni and just about everyone!"
>Box of Legos
>This is a box supposedly contines 300 or so legos, and the plans to make a small house and car.
>Tiny Crystal Castle
>This is a small castle made of crystal, no larger on its base than your thumbnail. It seems to have quite a lot of detail.
>Rusty Piece of Rebar
>This is a piece of concrete rebar that has been left out in the weather for awhile. Still, it is quite solid and sturdy.

> Ponder how to obtain fasteners.
> Bid Rumia farewell and meet with Yuugi underground for a round of tattoo removal.

>go back and get Hourai so Alice doesn't have your neck

>You'd probably have to ask someone who fastens things. Or hope you get lucky with Rinnosuke's random stock changes.
>You make your way down the road toward the border of Hakugyokorou again. Along the way, you see Murasa outside of Byakuren's tend, trying to make sense of a wildly gesticulating Hourai.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Sorry about that, Hourai. I should have made sure to find you before I left."
>sigh
>"Such a scatterbrain today..."
>"How are things, Murasa?"

[Kasu]

> "Do you perhaps have a need for this rebar?"
> "Also, you wouldn't en to have any metal fasteners would you?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sorry about that, Hourai. I should have made sure to find you before I left."
>sigh
>"Such a scatterbrain today..."
>"How are things, Murasa?"

>Hourai floats toward you and gesticulates some more. You really cannot make sense of it, but you suspect that it involves setting a rendezvous point. She then hands you the goods.
>You obtain: Secret Pipe.
>"Hijiri's right pleased with that book," says Murasa. "Should help us out a lot with the planning."

> "Do you perhaps have a need for this rebar?"
> "Also, you wouldn't en to have any metal fasteners would you?"

>You show Murasa the rebar. She looks it over, then says, "Not unless I plan on bustin' some heads.  We'll probably be using mostly wood. No need to get all pretentious with it."
>"I have a jar of old screws," says Murasa. "That do you?"

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>Hmm, yes, I think screws would fasten nicely. Could we convince you to part with them?

[E-Nazrin]

>examine Secret Pipe

[Hello Purvis]

>Hmm, yes, I think screws would fasten nicely. Could we convince you to part with them?

>"Just don't use up all of them", says Murasa, as she produces and hands you the jar.
>You obtain: Jar of Old Screws.

>examine Secret Pipe

>This is a for smoking tobacco and other such things, made of wood and shaped in an elegant curve and vaguely resembling a ram's horn.

[Hello Purvis]

> Thank and bid Murasa farewell.
> Exchange pipe with Rumia.
> Head for the underground and meet Yuugi to get rid of tattoo.

>"Good luck," says Murasa. "If you see Nazrin, tell her to report in already."
>You give the Secret Pipe to the Robed Figure. "Hey, I think there's only a couple more left!" she says. "You're awesome!"
>You Obtain: Book entitled: The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
>You Obtain: Hobo Nickel
>You return to the Ancient City. As Yuugi told you, she is at the Rose and Marmot pub. She notices you upon entry and waves you over to her booth.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>Go to Yuugi, show her wine, and ask her about the process before giving it to her.
>If she's still recalcitrent, ask her if you can give it to someone else until she's done removing your tattoo.

[E-Nazrin]

>for god's sake don't drink any booze this time

[Hello Purvis]

>Go to Yuugi, show her wine, and ask her about the process before giving it to her.
>If she's still recalcitrent, ask her if you can give it to someone else until she's done removing your tattoo.

>Go to Yuugi's booth and show her the bottles of Spasmi Dolorosi Del Rene Champagne. She takes one in hand, and examines the bottle. "Hell yes!" she says. "This'll do just find."
>When asked about the process, she says, "Don't worry. You won't see it anyways."

>for god's sake don't drink any booze this time

>For reals.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"'Won't see it?' Well, I suppose I didn't see getting it, either..."

[Hello Purvis]

>"'Won't see it?' Well, I suppose I didn't see getting it, either..."

>"You ready?" Yuugi asks.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>Uh... is this booth private?

[Rin Kagamine]

> "I'm ready, but can we not do it here?  I'd rather this get done somewhere more private."

[Hello Purvis]

>Uh... is this booth private?

>Yuugi frowns. "Not much. Why?"

> "I'm ready, but can we not do it here?  I'd rather this get done somewhere more private."

>"The zogging hell you think I was gonna do? I was just wondering if you fancied a drink or something before we get to business."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"No, thank you. I've had my fill already. Let's do this."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood.  I'll refrain from a drink for now, but maybe afterward."

[Hello Purvis]

>"No, thank you. I've had my fill already. Let's do this."

> "Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood.  I'll refrain from a drink for now, but maybe afterward."

>Yuugi nods, stands, and motions for you to follow her.
>She leads you of the the pub, back to the food market, then toward the general market, past a brewing danmaku battle, and then heads west and leads you into a long, rather nice-looking house, somewhat reminiscent of Yuyuko's home on a much smaller and less grandiose scale.
>Inside, she leads you to a sparse sitting room with a low table. She hands you a bit of cloth. "Tie that over your eyes. Then off with the robe. And don't worry, nothing that happens here is gonna get said to anyone. And that goes for you, too. Got it?"
>With that, she takes a length of cloth from a cabinet, and starts soaking it in a basin.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>swallow hard
>shoo Hourai off to wait at the house's entrance
>apply cloth blindfold directly to forehead

[Rin Kagamine]

> No, let Hourai stay.  If Yuugi tries to rob us, or leave us trapped/tied-up then we'll need the help.
