>Kiss alice on the way, end MariAri trend. Start PatchyAri.

>No. Stop trying to be forward, it'll end in tears.

[E-Nazrin]

[Hello Purvis]

>Kiss alice on the way, end MariAri trend. Start PatchyAri.

>No. Stop trying to be forward, it'll end in tears.

>And what if Marisa found out?

>instead, kiss one of the dolls

>They are too busy floating along with Alice to accept kisses. And kissing cloth and plastic would be weird.
>You arrive at the Yakumo household. Chen is presently on the roof. There seems to be some spirited conversation inside.

>You contemplate this plan. You suspect it won't be hard to get Marisa on board, but Remilia would have no interest in it, at least until Aya personally irritated her. You don't know if Byakuren would want to be part of a takedown or not.

[Hello Purvis]

>CHEEEEEEEEEEEN

>What in the blazes are you trying to do? This doesn't even have a verb in it. What's wrong with you.

> Knock.

>You knock on the door. "Just a moment!" calls a voice that you recognize from your communications with the cap as Ran's.

>Do a little dance~

>You draw upon your seldom-used knowledge to cut a little rug, and do a quick shuffle upon the doorstep.
>"You're pretty good at that," Alice comments, as Ran opens the door.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Examine Yakumo Household
> Examine Ran
> Thank Ran and Yukari for their hospitality and assistance

[Hello Purvis]

> Examine Yakumo Household
> Examine Ran
> Thank Ran and Yukari for their hospitality and assistance

>You enter the Yakumo household.
>The first thing you notice is that the house doesn't seem to be all that large. It seems to be composed mostly of one large room. To the left, you can see a kitchen dominating one wall with a low table set near it. Yukari and Yuyuko sit there; they were previously discussing something, though they have stopped upon noticing you. Youmu stands behind Yuyuko quietly. To the right is a general rumpus room; and beyond that you can see a curtained off spot that suggest suggest a bathroom and bedrooms. Most interesting, though, is that the walls have a number of little shelves on them, crisscrossed with small railroad tracks. You note a striped engineer's cap with ear holes cut into it hanging off of a hook. It seems to have seen better days.
>"There you are," says Yukari, who stills seems not to have bothered to dress. "We were just discussing what we should be doing overall."
>Ran seems to be a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable. Given Yukari, you can probably guess why.
>"Oh, you're welcome," says Yukari. "I could never turn down a request from dear Yuyuko, and I suppose it is only right to do something for you in wake of handling the recent incident."

[Hello Purvis]

>Turn over map
>Make quick but accurate sketch while not putting in much detail

>The thought of writing on the back of an ancient document fills you with revulsion, and you refuse to contemplate such a thing.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Recap situation to make sure everyone is on the same page with regards to Jeff K Anon situation.
> "So, how exactly should we go about doing this?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Recap situation to make sure everyone is on the same page with regards to Jeff K Anon situation.
> "So, how exactly should we go about doing this?"

>You're getting pretty good at recaping a complicated situation so quickly!
>"I think we can agree there are two courses," says Yukari. "Cutting him loose or trying to place him into a doll. I suppose we could all benefit from a trip to his little hideout, if that's the only place he can manifest, and get his thoughts on the matter. Perhaps we'll be able to find something else."
>With that, Yukari picks up her fan, and draws it down the air to make a gap. "This should take us reasonably close. Do close your eyes when you enter, it's for the best."

>_

[Toasty]

>Enter
>Ignore the inner laharl that abhors all love.

[Hello Purvis]

>Enter
>Ignore the inner laharl that abhors all love.

>You step through the gap without closing your eyes.
>It is simply not possible to describe what you see. It is is like looking into a spinning hypercube, only so much worse. And the colors... Then the shapes...
>You step out into the steets of the southeast portion of the Ancient City, nursing a newly-obtained pounding headache. Overhead, you can see some of the evil spirits have returned, but they do not seem like they are going to try their luck again.
>Yuyuko and Alice step out of the gap and look around, followed by Yukari, who closes the gap behind her.
>"Sup, bitches?" says the voice, from some point near the abandoned house. It doesn't seem as if anyone other than you has heard it.

[Janitor Morgan]

> Ponder what Youmu's going to do with Chen and Ran while we're here

[Rin Kagamine]

> Is Yukari still naked?
> Lead party to the house we found Jeff K Anon in.

[Fightest]

> Ask if anyone heard the voice. If no, interpret.
> Aside to Youmu while everyone is heading to the house:
> "I would like to request you lend your unique skills to combatting a certain problem that is tearing its way through Gensokyo. That problem is Aya, who, I believe, could use a good beating with a sack of oranges. I'm putting together a crack commando unit to tackle this issue, and I believe you would make an invaluable member. If I can get Yuyuko's agreement, would you be in?"

> Youmu's not here

[Hello Purvis]

> Ponder what Youmu's going to do with Chen and Ran while we're here

>You have no idea, but you can't imagine Youmu and Chen would get along for awhile. Unless they all have a collective interest in trains? Maybe that is why Yuyuko brought her along?

> Is Yukari still naked?
> Lead party to the house we found Jeff K Anon in.

>She certainly is. Unless you count a cap and parasol as clothing.
>You lead the group into the house. It is as you left it. "What a lovely hideout." says Yukari.

> Ask if anyone heard the voice. If no, interpret.

>You interpret the voice's greetings. "How pleasant," say Yuyuko with a smile, "Tell the upjumped motherfucker I said hello as well! Oh, he can probably hear me, can't he?"
>"...I don't know what to make of that," says the voice.
>There is no Youmu here.
