>Nod, and take position to keep an eye on things in the direction of the the entrance to the underground.
>Idly ponder if the water has receded enough to open up that tunnel to the reactor.
>As well, keep a vague on the other happenings and people coming in.
> You leave Ran and Patchouli alone, and wander off into the crowd. As you look in the general direction of the Underground entrance, you take note of what's going on around you. The general atmosphere reminds you of a waiting room full of people who are not particularly impatient. Mokou and Kaguya have inevitably found each other and are flying across the surface of the lake while shooting danmaku at each other. It's very tame, probably because Keine is standing at the lake's edge with her arms crossed and a stern expression. Almost all of the kappa gathered have gone into the lake itself, and every few seconds you see one poking her head out of the water. Among the kappa who have stayed on land is Nitori, who has found Marisa. The two are walking along, Marisa chattering away while Nitori listens quietly.
> Remilia has gathered her own crowd consisting of her, Sakuya, Eirin, Byakuren, Shou, Miko, Tojiko, Futo, and Suwako. It's a shame your wrist is the way it is, or you would have been able to join them.
> You notice that Meiling is no longer at the gate, and the faeries and youkai with her have dispersed into the crowd or the forest. In her place is Koakuma, who is painting her nails and looking bored. She's definitely not gate guard material, so she's probably just there to have someone, anyone, at the gate.
> Over near the edge of the forest, Mamizou and Nue are relaxing underneath a tree while Orin and Chen romp around in cat form nearby. Ichirin is sitting in the grass, picking flowers with Murasa, while Unzan hovers protectively nearby. Seiga is sitting in a tree, keeping an eye on Yoshika, who is busy eating a bush.
> Surprisingly, Nazrin has wandered over to the oni group and appears to be talking to Suika and Yuugi. Konngara is sitting near the lake by herself, skipping stones across the water. A very large bird appears from above the treetops and settles down nearby. Everyone within ten feet of it stops what they're doing, stares at it, and then resumes whatever they're doing.
> As you're looking around and wondering if the reactor is safe to go into yet, you see a tengu--Aya--fly over the treetops and approach you.
> "Reimuuu!" she calls.
> Does Utsuho know where this mansion is?
> You don't think Okuu has ever been to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Hopefully, Orin gave her directions, but...
