Reimu Quest (Part 11)

[日巫子]

>"Hey, Suwako. Remind me, did you end up talking to the celestials about this?"

> Suwako drops the rocks she's levitating in the air.
> "...Oh, no.  I forgot," she groans.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Groan.
>"Well. You had a good reason for it."

[日巫子]

>Groan.
>"Well. You had a good reason for it."

> Ugh.
> "Should I go find them now?" Suwako asks.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'll do it. They have you working on things."
>"In the meantime, how's Sanae been holding up?"

[日巫子]

>"I'll do it. They have you working on things."
>"In the meantime, how's Sanae been holding up?"

> "Figures."  Suwako picks up the stone and compresses it between her hands.  She pulls them apart to reveal an iron rod.
> You then ask Suwako how Sanae is doing.
> Suwako lowers her voice.  "Not too well.  She's been having some problems dealing with the incident among other things, but I'm going to have to wait until this is all over before I can help her.  I thought she'd be going home by now, but she's either waiting for an OK to leave or she has some reason to stay here."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"I told her she did well, and once she's rested up she can head home. So, I imagine she either wants to see how it's going to turn out, she wants to help, or she's afraid something is going to happen."

[日巫子]

>"I told her she did well, and once she's rested up she can head home. So, I imagine she either wants to see how it's going to turn out, she wants to help, or she's afraid something is going to happen."

> "I guess we'll figure out eventually," Suwako says with a shrug.  "She said she needs some space right now."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"And I need to go find some celestials. Keep up the good work here!"
>Take to the air, and toward Bhava-Agra.

[日巫子]

>Nod.
>"And I need to go find some celestials. Keep up the good work here!"
>Take to the air, and toward Bhava-Agra.

> "Will do," says Suwako.
> You leave the Misty Lake one more time and fly high into the clouds, in search of Bhava-Agra.  You make haste towards the floating islands, hovering above the clouds in the south.  It takes frustratingly long to reach them, and at long last the smaller ones are within your reach.

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep going til we hit the one where we've encountered Iku in the past.

[日巫子]

>Keep going til we hit the one where we've encountered Iku in the past.

> You hop off each island until you reach the largest one.  The Hinanawi's place isn't in sight; it must be on the other end of the island.  Instead, you're among an orchard of peach trees.  Lucky you--Tenshi is at the far end of it with a basket.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh god, this actually is lucky. What has the world come to.
>"Hey!"

[日巫子]

>Oh god, this actually is lucky. What has the world come to.
>"Hey!"

> Whatever it is, you're not complaining.
> You call out to Tenshi.  She looks over her shoulder at you, and then looks away.
> "What do you want?" she shouts back.

> _

[O4rfish]

>Fly closer.
>"We're all working on a big ritual, and I was wondering if you and Iku wanted to help out."

[日巫子]

>Fly closer.
>"We're all working on a big ritual, and I was wondering if you and Iku wanted to help out."

> You approach Tenshi and ask for her and Iku's help.
> "What?  A ritual?  What ritual?" Tenshi asks.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"We're fixing the barrier."

[日巫子]

>"We're fixing the barrier."

> "And no one invited me?!"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"The person I sent to invite you folks got distracted. So now I'm here."

[日巫子]

>"The person I sent to invite you folks got distracted. So now I'm here."

> "You guys always do cool stuff without me," Tenshi pouts, tossing her basket to the side.  "Where is everyone?"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Scarlet Devil Mansion."

[日巫子]

>"Scarlet Devil Mansion."

> "Great.  See ya!"
> Tenshi sprints off through the orchard and leaps off the edge of the island.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"HEY GET BACK HERE!"

[日巫子]

>"HEY GET BACK HERE!"

> You yell at Tenshi to get back here!
> "NO WAY!" you hear Tenshi shout back.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm not done yet!"

[日巫子]

>"I'm not done yet!"

> There is a silence, and then Tenshi comes flying back up over the edge of the island.  Her face is bright red and she's avoiding eye contact.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"First off, where's Iku at? I want to invite her, too. And any celestials that would have knowledge or skills useful to raising the barrier."

[日巫子]

>"First off, where's Iku at? I want to invite her, too. And any celestials that would have knowledge or skills useful to raising the barrier."

> "She's in the clouds right now, and she's the only one who'll be useful," Tenshi says.  "All those other celestials just play around all day.  They don't know anything."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well then, let's go find her."

[日巫子]

>"Well then, let's go find her."

> "Okay, this way."  Tenshi runs back to the edge of the island and leaps off, gliding into the air.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow dem peaches!
