Hello Purvis:

>YOU ARE MINAMITSU MURASA! Everyone?s favorite nautical disaster!
>You are, to put it bluntly, dead. You?ve been that way most of your life, really and are used to it. In particular, you died at sea, and spent a good long time haunting and sinking ships. But that was a long time ago and you don?t do that sort of thing anymore. Not in any sense that counts? These days, you inhabit the Myouren Temple, doing your best to adhere to its brand of buddhism. You aren?t the best monk, to be honest, but you do your best and that earns you praise enough. Realistically, you tend to do various jobs around the temple, or sometimes work in the clinic in Former Hell. Other times to you wander about, sometimes inviting yourself to drop in the various manors in Gensokyo when they?ll have you.
>Today began like any other day, but you?ve been feeling...strange. As a ghost, there?s some things that just bother you. You do not like the direction north, you try not to sit facing that way, you don?t like having to walk further north than the temple. Higan is that way, and you are not ready. Funerals and such fascinate you, and you can?t say why, so too do ghost stories. It?s not uncommon for you to be drawn toward a little get-together on summer nights and scare the people there. And there?s boats...best not to think about those. You make model ones, sometimes... But today...today is different. There?s something in the air, something that sinks down to your bones? It?s set your teeth on edge.
>The strangeness you've experienced seems to manifest in you randomly getting drug into some other world, which resembles Gensokyo buried under and ocean. You have roamed around human town and the hakurei shrine, trying to find someone who could help you understand this. Sadly, at this point, most people who might know something are either not to be found, or simply have only guesses to offer. The most concrete advice you'd managed to get is from Reimu, who suggests that it might be some kind of dream-related thing, and suggested that you find Doremy Sweet to help you out.
>This turned out to be a challenge, as Doremy comes and goes as she likes, requiring you to ultimately track down a tengu journalist to get an idea where to look. During this, yo ended up encountering Tojiko, who witnessed you disappear firsthand, and has decided to try and assist you out of a sense of ghostly solidarity. With the advice of Hatate, you managed to track down Doremy to Eientei, where you arrived in time to find it under attack from a pair of dancers who were in the process of kidnapping the baku. You attempted to stop them, but were untimely drug into the ocean world again. That time, you met someone there, a sort of ghostly jellyfish entity that identified itself as Stargazer. You attempted to bring her back with you, but have no idea if you succeeded. Returning to Eientei, you found that Doremy had been taken, but thanks to your efforts you were able to catch one of the dancers, identified as Mai, who you are interrogating now. Thus far, she has been surprisingly prone to weeping.

// [OOC WALL O' TEXT]  :D  :ohdear:
IMHO Almost all sides required from here are: preparations and plan,movement and exploration,relations and diplomacy,surprise and action.Surely it is going to be as,or close as, honest-and-simple but still not that far out. Naturally threre are outcomes of " responses and impressions back and forth "(1 is the present one with Mai Tereda) . There is also going to be help and interference,to a limited extent but lesser or greater depending about our outcomes.The hurdle to overcome,and my vote for doing it is "a side(with the other sides in the first line of my reply) of well-placed-realistic Diplomacy" ,is to : 1.RESCUE an healthy and willing Doremy Sweet from ("Maraijin") Dancers Mai+ Satono,with  possibly reduced team-up and hostility, plus THEIR MASTER THE Okina Matara(both FINAL BOSS AND EX,although with her 1 or even 2 phases could end prematurely) IN her dimensional realm ( part of Gensokyo's foundations,doors and transitions ) 2. IN a greater(Dream and Reality) scheme to halt . 3.We should always keep in mind,and also avoid getting swindled by that prospect,that parts of her greater scheme could be salvageable and convertable for Good (involving Myouren Temple,Dream Mausoleum,Hakurei Shrine,Human Village,Yakumo Household,Eientei,SDM and/or others fit?). //

> " Truthfully I and Tojiko are "detectiving"  all this out on our own - playful sage wink and nod now and at the just allusions  - about such a special-close-far-home-space with special-admittance...maybe open for a pair of visitors due to << unique need of peace of soul  >> , just 2 who understanding subordinates as well but off-shift and single-pieces,so no tattle-talers or hunting teams involved,striving to be discreet ,respectful, honest, especially if helped back as such.
