>Get up with Chen on our shoulders
>Stare at her back with the masculinity of souls we enlisted

[Pesco]

> It's delivery time!
> Storm onwards on the path assumed to lead us to Moriya Shrine.
> Btw are we qualified to deliver babies?

[Rin Kagamine]

>Get up with Chen on our shoulders
>Stare at her back with the masculinity of souls we enlisted

> You're already standing up.
> You stare back at Lily, and she finally pipes up, "What about you little kit'?"
> "Yeah, I know it's spring, now LEAVE!"
> "Hooray!  My work here is done!"  With that, Lily flies off.

> It's delivery time!
> Storm onwards on the path assumed to lead us to Moriya Shrine.
> Btw are we qualified to deliver babies?

> Onwards and upwards!
> No, you don't even want to imagine how difficult that would be.  Plus, you wouldn't really have to move them anywhere.
> The forest gets thinner as you move on, eventually giving way to a vast field.  You can hear the faint sound of a waterfall in the distance.  Off to the left, a girl in red appears to be dancing.

>_

[COPIRIGHTO]

>examine the girl

[Fightest]

> But then ignore her! Deliverators do not get distracted by trifling dancing girls!

[Rin Kagamine]

>examine the girl

> You look at the girl.  She is wearing a long red dress and has long green hair tied in the front?  She appears to be spinning.

> But then ignore her! Deliverators do not get distracted by trifling dancing girls!

> She stops spinning and waves at you.
> Chen tugs at your hat.  "So pretty, let's go see her!"
> You feel conflicted.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Don't want to disappoint Chen.
> Approach Hina mysterious girl and wave

[Fightest]

> "Good morning, Madam, Deliverator at your service, can I be of assistance?"

[Rin Kagamine]

> Don't want to disappoint Chen.
> Approach Hina mysterious girl and wave

> You approach the girl and wave.  She beckons you closer.  Chen's tails flop about in anticipation.

> "Good morning, Madam, Deliverator at your service, can I be of assistance?"

> "Ah, you deliver for the Gensokyo Delivery Corps?  I see.  In that case, I assume you have business on the mountain.  I'm here to make sure that humans don't get too close to the mountain, it's quite dangerous you know?"
> You could assume that with a name like Youkai Mountain it wasn't exactly the safest place to be.  You nod in understanding.
> "Ah, how rude of me for not introducing myself.  My name is Hina Kagiyama, and in addition to watching the mountain I also control curses, allow me to look over you."
> Chen hops off your shoulders and sniffs around the field.  Hina approaches you and closes her eyes.  She twirls in place and suddenly grabs your shoulders.  She slowly begins to trace her hands all over your arms, moving up towards your face and then down to your chest.
> "Hm, this is very strange." She opens her eyes and continues, "You are not cursed, not at all, but I can sense something in your future.  Today, you will encounter a great challenge, matched only by a great change that will occur within you.  I cannot tell what you happen, but you must take care of yourself today."
> What a freak.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Are you a gypsy?"

[Thata no Guykoro]

>"I am a KING OF DELIVERY, I can take care of myself."
>"Now unless you have something requiring delivery, I will be off."

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Are you a gypsy?"

> She backs away from you and starts to spin again. 
> "You may call me a Dervish if you like, but that is not what I do.  I monitor and abosrb curses and misfortunes, and you have the possibility of immense misfortune in your immediate future."

>"I am a KING OF DELIVERY, I can take care of myself."
>"Now unless you have something requiring delivery, I will be off."

> "You may choose to ignore my warning, I have no proof after all, but I should let you know that I am never wrong.  Please take care."
> She spins away from you, heading towards the tree line.
> Chen walks back over to you.  "I can walk with you now, thank you for the ride though."
> You are in the middle of a field.  The field is full of tall grass and some flowers.  To the North you can hear a faint waterfall beyond a sea of cat-tails.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Alrighty!"
>Start northward.
>"Does she do that a lot?"

[COPIRIGHTO]

>make our way forward to the GREAT CHALLONGE

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Alrighty!"
>Start northward.
>"Does she do that a lot?"

>make our way forward to the GREAT CHALLONGE

> You make your way north with Chen.
> "I don't know, I've never seen her before, but her dance was so pretty that I just had to look!  Did you like her dance?"
> You make your way to the cat-tails.  From here, you can see a village near the base of a mountain in the distance.

[COPIRIGHTO]

>"It was a very nice dance. I enjoyed it very much<3"
>"Proceed through the Tengu Village

[Toasty]

>Keep an aya-out eye out for aya

[Rin Kagamine]

>"It was a very nice dance. I enjoyed it very much<3"
>"Proceed through the Tengu Village

>Keep an aya-out eye out for aya

> You approach the village.  The village is built right up to the cliff-face, and uses the waterfall and pool as it's eastern border.  The buildings are mostly small dome-shaped affairs, made from mud.  Near the center of town is a very large warehouse.  Dozens of Kappa mill about.
> You don't think this is the Tengu Village.

[Hello Purvis]

>"These are the weirdest-looking Tengu..."
>Try to see if you can find any ways up the cliff from here. If so, try to get to them without getting in anyone's way.

[Toasty]

>What does chen think of the kappa and their village?
>Ask local kappa how to get to the moriya shrine
>Attempt to make friends, and become the nicest delivery man in gensyoko.

[COPIRIGHTO]

>derp
>How much money do we have on hand?
>Do we have enough to purchase a fast trip to the shrine?

[Rin Kagamine]

>"These are the weirdest-looking Tengu..."
>Try to see if you can find any ways up the cliff from here. If so, try to get to them without getting in anyone's way.

>What does chen think of the kappa and their village?
>Ask local kappa how to get to the moriya shrine
>Attempt to make friends, and become the nicest delivery man in gensyoko.

> You debate sneaking through the village, but decide that communicating with the locals would be a better idea.
> "It's alright, but the kappa look a little odd."
> Kids say the darnedest things huh?
> You make your way into the village.  Fortunately, the kappa do not seem to mind your presence.  In front of the warehouse, a blue-haired kappa is doing woodwork, a green backpack lays by her feet.

 

>derp
>How much money do we have on hand?
>Do we have enough to purchase a fast trip to the shrine?

> You check your wallet, you still have 5,000 yen.
> You doubt it, since there doesn't seem to be a train or anything.  Kappa aren't renowned for their speed after all.

>_

[Kasu]

> Ask the blue-haired kappa for directions.

[Toasty]

>Ask the blue haired kappa her name and how her day is going. We're shooting for nicest deliveryman in gensyoko.
>Compliment blue haired kappa with "Nice hat"

[Rin Kagamine]

> Ask the blue-haired kappa for directions.

>Ask the blue haired kappa her name and how her day is going. We're shooting for nicest deliveryman in gensyoko.
>Compliment blue haired kappa with "Nice hat"

> You saunter over the the blue-haired kappa and ask for directions to the Moriya Shrine.  When she turns towards you, her entire outfit seems to jangle.
> "Eh, if you go over to the opposite side of the village, away from the waterfall, you'll find the trail.  Just follow that up through Tengu Town and you'll eventually reach the Moriya Shrine.  There's only one path up, so you can't miss it.  Why are you heading up there anyway?  It's not a place for humans to go."
> You ask for her name and compliment her hat, then introduce yourself.
> "Oh, thank you.  I made it myself.  I'm Nitori Kawashiro, the head engineer of Kappa Town."
> "I'm Chen!" Chen adds.
> "I see, so you're making a delivery?  In that case the tengu shouldn't bother you, but..." she hesitates, "I don't know how attached you two are, but it's probably not a good idea to go up there together.  The tengu don't take too kindly to other youkai going through town.  She should probably stay down here."
> Chen pouts, "But I want to go with Mr. Boxman!"

>_

[Toasty]

>Lean over to nitori and inform her of a plan to keep chen busy, happy, and safe while you make the delivery, as to protect her from aya's pantyshots the wrath of the tengu.
>If nitori agrees, give chen a cheerfull and friendly goodbye and hurry up with that delivery. Hopefully our cat-friend will like her kappa playmate.

[COPIRIGHTO]

>Show her the fire that burns in our eyes and point towards the heavens

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Make an impassioned speech about the glory of delivering, the great importance of your job, the fact that you are holding up thousands of years of tradition, and that you will not falter in your job. Channel the spirits of delivery men past while doing so.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Lean over to nitori and inform her of a plan to keep chen busy, happy, and safe while you make the delivery, as to protect her from aya's pantyshots the wrath of the tengu.
>If nitori agrees, give chen a cheerfull and friendly goodbye and hurry up with that delivery. Hopefully our cat-friend will like her kappa playmate.

> You lean in towards Nitori, realize that you aren't that quick on your feet, back up a little and ask if she can watch Chen while you make your delivery.
> "We are pretty busy around here, I can't exactly take the time to baby-sit her.  If she wants to help out, I can probably find something for her to do and she can stay."
> "Mr. Boxman said he'd find my hat, I can't let him leave without it."
> What in the world does she have in those pockets?  They jingle every time she breathes practically.

>Show her the fire that burns in our eyes and point towards the heavens

> You scream and point straight up towards the sky as hard as you can.
> Nitori howls with laughter.  "Oh, Iku would just LOVE you!"

>Make an impassioned speech about the glory of delivering, the great importance of your job, the fact that you are holding up thousands of years of tradition, and that you will not falter in your job. Channel the spirits of delivery men past while doing so.

> You psyche yourself up and elevate delivery to a pedestal unmatched by any job held by a human.  You almost manage to fool yourself into thinking you're valuable.
> Nitori blinks.  "...Like I said, if she can help, she can stay."
> You look at Chen, she looks back at you.  Those kitty eyes are just so adorable.

[Toasty]

>Blagh
>Run back to kourindou and fetch chen's hat.
>explain to rinno when you get there
