Reimu Quest (Part 4)

[日巫子]

> Are those our veins we see pulsing?
> Vacantly stare out the window.

> Yes.
> You stand at the window and stare out in a half-awake daze.  The Hell of Blazing Fires is burning strongly today.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Is the light coming from the hall, or the door to the private room?

[日巫子]

>Is the light coming from the hall, or the door to the private room?

> From the hall.

> _

[Cheez8]

> Good thing this room is kept so tidy.
> Slump up out of bed, then saunter over and push the door open.

[日巫子]

> Good thing this room is kept so tidy.
> Slump up out of bed, then saunter over and push the door open.

> You've already gotten out of bed!
> You drag yourself over to the door and open it.  It sticks and creaks noisily but you do get it open.  The glowing in the corner of your eyes intensifies as you look out into the dimly-lit hallway.  You can see the hallway with Sanae's room, and the stairs from here.

> _

[Cheez8]

> Head over to Sanae's room and peek in. How's that glow of hers doing?

[日巫子]

> Head over to Sanae's room and peek in. How's that glow of hers doing?

> You plod down the hall and peek through the open door.
> Sanae levitates off the bed, suspended in midair.  Her chest rises and falls with each peaceful breath, and her hair and clothes float as if she were in water.  The bronze glow matches with the one in your eyes and can feel yourself falling sideways.  The window outside is a view of underwater and small fish you don't recognize swim past.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's try to break that fall with a proper float before we smack into the wall.

[日巫子]

>Let's try to break that fall with a proper float before we smack into the wall.

> You catch yourself by floating into the air instead.  You're fine, you're fine.  You think the window is ajar a little.

> _

[Sect]

> Close that window: don't want a current to come in.
> Inspect the Sanae.

[日巫子]

> Close that window: don't want a current to come in.
> Inspect the Sanae.

> You pull on the window, but it appears to be stuck.
> You get a closer look at Sanae.  She bobs up and down in the air like a cork, oblivious to your presence.  Every now and then she lets out a soft sigh.

> _

[Sect]

> Float over and poke Sanae. "Still asleep?"

[日巫子]

> Float over and poke Sanae. "Still asleep?"

> Sanae makes a small, discontented grunt but doesn't wake up.

> _

[Sect]

> Take hold of her shoulder and gently shake. "Hey hey, if you don't wake up I'm gonna take all of your donations."

[日巫子]

> Take hold of her shoulder and gently shake. "Hey hey, if you don't wake up I'm gonna take all of your donations."

> When you shake Sanae's shoulder, the rest of the room shakes with her.  You feel like you're going to fall over again.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Rifle through her pockets real quick.

[日巫子]

>Rifle through her pockets real quick.

> You go through her pockets and find absolutely nothing.

> _

[Sect]

> Preempt the room making us fall by floating upside down. Beat that, room!
> Hm... try pulling on Sanae to see how the world moves.

[日巫子]

> Preempt the room making us fall by floating upside down. Beat that, room!
> Hm... try pulling on Sanae to see how the world moves.

> You float upside-down and hit your head off the bedpost.
> You right yourself and pull Sanae's arm.
> The room lurches and you find yourself falling back towards the window.  You hit against the glass with a loud thunk that reverberates throughout the room.  You feel the window start to give way under you.

> _

[Sect]

> Oh snap bad idea! Float away from the window!

[日巫子]

> Oh snap bad idea! Float away from the window!

> Flying away from the window is an arduous task that makes you feel like you're floating through molasses.  The glow in your eyes sputters, and for the briefest of moments the world goes dark.  When light returns, you're upside down and bumping against the door.  The window glass is gone.

> _

[Cheez8]

> Are there still fish swimming outside the window?

[Hello Purvis]

I think Sanae needs some water to the face. And possibly a hand dipped in water.

[日巫子]

> Are there still fish swimming outside the window?

> No.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Touch the water, and test it's consistency.

[日巫子]

>Touch the water, and test it's consistency.

> You touch the water.  It feels just as smooth as any other water, but it wobbles like jelly.  The fish in the distance are swimming without a problem.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Try to get a palmful of it.

[日巫子]

>Try to get a palmful of it.

> You scoop some into your hand.  The dent where the jelly-like water once was is quickly filled in again.
> The water you're holding is in a blob shape, and floats up and out of your hand.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Grab the blob, and try to float over toward Sanae again.

[日巫子]

>Grab the blob, and try to float over toward Sanae again.

> You snatch the blob from the air.  It's like trying to hold actual jelly, but you know it's water.  Still, you're able to approach Sanae with it.
