>Yukari replies "Right." She then starts muttering, as if listing off worlds. "Narnia? No....Mirrodin? No...the Kingdom of Loathing? No...Cephiro? No...Mid-Childa? No..." She then stops muttering. "Odd, it doesn't seem to be working at all."

>Shiki: "So it's not the world those other gaps are to that's the problem, then. It looks like something's preventing you from opening gaps that lead outside of Gensokyo."
>"Reimu, can you feel anything different about the Hakurei Border?"
>Yuyuko: "Can't this shrine act as a gateway to the outside world? Does that gateway still work, Reimu?"
>Shiki: "Yukari, are you still able to open a gap to the outside world? Check Makai, Higan, and the Netherworld while you're at it, please."

>Suika says "Thiiiis could be trouble."

>"Reimu, can you feel anything different about the Hakurei Border?"
>"No, it seems to be the same as always."

>Yuyuko: "Can't this shrine act as a gateway to the outside world? Does that gateway still work, Reimu?"
>"I'll check." Reimu flies over to the other end of a shrine, which seems to be an exit to the outside world, then comes back. "Still works."

>Shiki: "Yukari, are you still able to open a gap to the outside world? Check Makai, Higan, and the Netherworld while you're at it, please."
>"Hmm...I can still open gates to those places, although it is more difficult than normal."

>Reimu: "Okay, this can't be good."
>Shiki: "It would seem that whatever is going on here is much bigger than I initially thought."
>Yuyuko: "Yukari, do you know how anybody could seal off an entire world? "Cause, you know, that seems to have happened to us."
>Shiki: "If she did, she likely would have already said so. Borders are her area of expertise, not seals."
>Koishi: "Then we go find someone who is an expert on seals. What about that temple lady?"
>Shiki: "Byakuren? She was trapped by a seal, but I'm not sure how much she actually knows about them. But yes, looking for such a person is a good next step. I think it's also worth looking into how people's perceptions are being gathered. That's why we came looking for you, Suika. It seems as though perceptions are being gathered, likely from a wide total area. This is part of the compulsion process, and is no doubt important to whatever plan is ultimately in motion here. This gathering is likely an integral part of said plan, and gathering is your area of expertise. In addition, whoever's behind this is likely quite powerful, and we may be in for some challenging battles. And you, as I understand, are quite capable in combat. Given both of those facts, I would like to ask you to join us."

>Yukari says "No. If Gensokyo is sealed off, I would still have access to these other worlds. My powers bypass such things. Perhaps something weakened my gap powers somehow?"

>No 'Suika joins the party' message?
>Forgot. Suika joins the party!

>Yuyuko: "Can we test if you're actually weakening? Like, say, open gaps that would be progressively more difficult and see where you stop being able to?"
>Shiki: "There's an idea. Can you get to closer worlds? Because if so, we could relay through worlds to get to the one the gaps in people's minds lead to."

>"I can usually create gaps twice as large as Gensokyo. Perhaps larger. Maybe I can usually create even larger gaps, but it takes a bit of effort that I typically don't want or need to exert."

>Koishi: "Got it."
>Reimu: "Okay, so what'd be the best place?"
>Shiki: "We can probably assume that all the compulsion cases function in the same manner, so thoughts are being gathered about numerous people. So far, we know of Youmu, Meiling, Sakuya, and Ran."
>Any: Which villages or other places have the most interaction with each of those people?
