>"May, interesting... Thanks for all your information"
>Explore the tea shop.

> You thank Kaguya for the information and head out to find the tea shop.
> Kaguya gives you a few words of parting: "Good luck out there."
> Cirno finishes her conversation with the winged youkai and follows you out. You leave the temple and pass through the village without any incident, and soon arrive at where Kaguya said the tea shop would be.
> It's a pretty desolate area of town, surrounded by rubble, with the exception of one lone, small building with a stand out front. A worn-out sign reads "Kichida Tea".
> The lights are on, but you don't immediately see anyone out front.

> You don't even bother asking.
> "Yeah!" Cirno gallops around, shooting small crystals of ice into the air as you look in through a window.
> There are many baskets in there. The place is lit well enough, and you can see the sillouette of someone sitting behind the counter.

>If there's no sign that says closed, head inside.

> There's no "closed" sign, so you head inside. Cirno stays outside, as she seems to be having fun where she is.
> The tea shop, on the inside, is slightly cramped. The baskets, you notice, have herbs in them. There isn't a lot, so the scents aren't immediately noticeable, but it smells very nice. Sitting at the counter is a withered, ancient-looking old woman who is polishing a kettle. Only after the door closes behind you does she take notice of you and look up.

> "This place is still open, but I don't charge anything for tea anymore. How could I when the village is like this?" She chuckles a little bit. "Besides, money isn't worth so much to me at my age."

Guuuys, we're doing it wrooong. Tea comes after the incident is resolved. Also, I'm not quite sure what we're doing, currently. Are we trying to go into the bamboo forest or something?

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #642 on:** January 05, 2011, 02:06:14 AM »

We're theoretically heading toward the forest, I think, since it's the only good lead we have toward any of our goals. Sadly we are Parsee and thus have no clue about how bad that place is.

>"Oh, that'd explain it, then. Can I get some?"

Sect · « **Reply #643 on:** January 05, 2011, 02:08:39 AM »

Well, yeah, we don't know how bad the place is, aside from what we've heard from Mokou, or Keine, or Kaguya...

> "Cirno, do you want some tea as well?"

>"Oh, that'd explain it, then. Can I get some?"

> "Of course." She leaves the counter and goes to one of the baskets. She takes a handful of some green powder (you assume it's matcha), and starts to head towards the back of the shop.

> "Cirno, do you want some tea as well?"

> You call out to Cirno. It only takes a second before she barrels into the shop.
> "Yay! Tea!"
> The old woman smiles, goes to take another handful of matcha, and disappears into the back of the shop.

> Nothing really odd, just tea leaves and stuff.
> Cirno wanders over to one of the baskets, sneezes, and sends up a small cloud of tea leaves.
> "It's kinda dusty!" she says. The tea leaves have settled into her hair and clothes.

> You can't help but giggle a bit, and brush the tea leaves out of Cirno's hair. She sweeps them off her dress and then dusts her hands together.
> At this point, the old woman returns and places two corked bottles on the counter.

It's just an old woman, you stupid little elf girl ;.;

Our next clue is actually the bamboo forest with a crazy bunny

> Obtained: x1 tea

> The old woman waves as you and Cirno leave. You then ask Cirno about the Bamboo Forest.

> You're fine if you have a compass that actually works.
