>Shiki: "We may have a way to travel to the other world; we're about to do a test. But before we actually go over there, we have business here to take care of. The voice is targeting Koishi again, so we need to ensure her safety. Any... business of your own that you may have with her can wait until after the current incident is resolved. In addition, if we play this right, this may actually lead to her realizing that what she did was wrong, and even to her forgiving Utsuho. Your help would be appreciated-we have a lot to do before evening, which is when the voice claims it will make its move, so the more people we have getting multiple things done at once, the better-but this will be tricky enough as it is, so if you can't put the Gensokyo Isle incident aside for now-just for now-I can't have you as part of this. Can you do that?"

>Shiki: "If this works, it will be far more effective than any punishment of yours could ever be. If we manage to pull this off, she will know beyond any possibility of denial what her actions did to others. The voice has claimed that it is going to reopen Koishi's third eye, and I intend to repeat its closure, but before that happens, I'm going to expose Koishi to people who suffered as a result of her actions, specifically utsuho, although if I can find anyone else in time, well, the more people there, the better. As I said, I welcome your aid, but only if you can set aside your anger for now. And just for now. I don't think you should pursue Koishi, but if you choose to do so once this incident is resolved, well, that is your choice to make. Can you do that, Reimu?"

>Shiki: "Koishi is convinced that Utsuho returned Gensokyo to normal simply because she wanted power. If she reads Utsuho's mind, she will know that this is not true. She will know that she was wrong. And being wrong on one aspect of something throws into doubt other aspects of it. And... well, I believe that some part of her does feel remorse for what she did. But she has shut that part away, and refuses to admit that it's there even to herself. If she is shown why Utsuho really did what she did, I believe that this will spark a realization of her own feelings on the matter."

I asked Yukari to keep tabs on her in case we had to find her again, but apparently Yukari decided that she'd rather not, so Suika's asking Kanako to locate her again."

>Shiki: "I want you to go underground and find Utsuho. Tell her  that we may be able to get Koishi to forgive her. Then get Satori, and bring the two of them to the surface. Where we meet will depend on Koishi's location, so I'll tell you where to go once we've found her. We won't meet at her location, though; I don't want her to know we're planning anything ahead of time. Once I've taken care of one last thing at the SDM, I'm going to find her and tell her what the voice is going to do, and I'm going to advise her to prepare to re-close her eye, but that's all I'm going to say."

>Also, parser overload has led me to consider disabling giving commands to Ijiyatsu E-Mouse.

>Shiki: "Let's go, Rikako. If you want to examine the gaps more, use the one in the library. We don't need to be in anyone's head to get to that one."
>"I wasn't terribly interested in the gaps in the maid's or the guard's heads anyways."

>Follow Rikako through the gap.
>You follow Rikako through the gap. You find yourself at the entrance to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and see Suika lying her head on Meiling.

>"Yukari, I need to talk to Reimu. give us a communication gap, please."
>"I suppose you need an indication that I heard you, so very well."

>Once the gap is ready: "Reimu, it's Shiki. What's your situation? Have you investigated the Gensokyo Isle incident to your satisfaction?"

>Armpits: Raise an eyebrow. "... I did mean whether she did anything past being willing to go along with this, but now I wanna know about that beef with Utsuho."
>Jump at the Yama's intrusion. "Damnit Yama. Uh... mostly. But don't think I'm letting Koishi off the hook. What do you want?"

>Yuyukan Dovrefjell: "As selfish as that may be, I suppose." Shrug again.
>"Although... I'm afraid I'm not sure whether the attempt will work. The last time Patchouli tried that spell, it... didn't quite work well enough for me to find that

platform again." Frown. "Maybe I should go back and help as well, once Yukari is there... I do owe her that hug. Hm... I guess that leads to a request for those in the

other world, and a question more for you personally, Maribel."
>"I think it would still be best to have someone from there look into finding a way to speak with us directly, or even reach Gensokyo; this is really rather

troublesome for all involved, isn't it? I'm not sure what can be done from there, but... hm, I believe Yukari did just remind me of an 'overlay' that may be involved

with it. There's very little about it at Patchouli's library, but perhaps you can find more?"
>"And for you, Maribel... if I do leave to help Yukari, where would I be able to find you later today, or perhaps tomorrow? We... tracked you through those people

through the gap today, but I'd rather not burden dear Yukari with having to do that again, if we can help it. Or... perhaps you'd be alright with having one of her

communication gaps following you for now?"
>"Sorry, Renko and Yuyuko, but I can't hold two conversations at the same time."

>Rodentius: Holy shit that's a lot of info from her.

>... this is getting weird. And if no one else is going to jump on things, we might as well take the reins for now...
>Purvis adds to his previous response "Yuyuko says 'As selfish as that may be, I suppose.' She shrugs. 'Although... I'm afraid I'm not sure whether the attempt will work. The last time Patchouli tried that spell, it... didn't quite work well enough for me to find that platform again.' She frowns. 'Maybe I should go back and help as well, once Yukari is there... I do owe her that hug. Hm... I guess that leads to a request for those in the other world, and a question more for you personally, Maribel. I think it would still be best to have someone from there look into finding a way to speak with us directly, or even reach Gensokyo; this is really rather

communication gaps following you for now?"

>Uh let's do the youkai thing first. ">To Renko, "I don't think it would change much in itself, but I've been told that there's something about the effects that might

make you think a little differently... though I'm not really sure what."" Pause. ">"And I think Byakuren mentioned the stronger enchantment she was offering would make

me larger, just like her..."" Pause for the next line: ">Squeeze her hand. "Would you be okay with that, Renko?""
>And uh, having so many powerhouses at the Mansion during the attack would be... troublesome. ">Any sign of Renko responding to the mention of them being with

Patchouli?" Pause. ">"So, the others are... at the mansion? Are all of you... expecting to be there regularly?""
>To the players, "If everyone's going to be there, Renko's chances are basically in the gutter. What the hell do we do?"
>Well... our main reasons are owing some respect to Patchouli for that geode, and Sakuya half-teaching, half-threatening us with that time manipulation skill...

actually, that reminds of a point of curiosity:
>">"What sort of compulsions has Sakuya been having thanks to that gap that's supposed to be in her head, anyway?""
>">"What is that overlay you mentioned?"" Pause. To the people actually there, "Does anyone know what she's talking about?"
>As for how to meet her again... ">"I... am not entirely sure where I'll be tonight and tomorrow. We're still looking for a decent place to stay even, really..."

Pause. ">"I may spend the night at Byakuren's if I go through with the stronger enchantment she was offering, but... otherwise I'm not sure where I'll be going,

exactly." Pause. ">"Well, aside from seeing Renko, of course...""
>To players: "With the real question being whether Renko wants that invasion of privacy, of course."
>Draco says "Sorry, Renko and Yuyuko, but I can't hold two conversations at the same time." before you say this. Are you sure you want to continue with this?

>Where would we be able to look for more info about that? The library, presumably?
>Probably. The library has a lot of books on a lot of subjects.

>Shiki: "Would it be too much to ask for your help in helping Yukari with this, miss Rikako?"
>"Honestly, I don't like using magic very much. How important is all this...?"

>Microscopic Alcoholic: Grin. "Sorta! I'm just a sorta mini-me gapped over to talk with ya. The boss' havin' fun on that china girl's chest."
>"So, y'mind findin' Koishi for us again? She got kinda upset, so..."
>"Oh, so she left in anger? I see. Why do you want to seek Koishi out again?"

>Do we have any idea where Marisa might be right now? Would she likely be willing/able to help?

>Mini-Suika: "Yeah. So find Koishi, please."
>"Fine, fine."
>Kanako closes her eyes. A moment passes.
>"She seems to be near the foot of Youkai Mountain, with two girls and Yuyuko Saigyouji. I swear she was watching those two girls when I searched for her the last time the Yama came here..."
>Shiki: "You were supposed to be on your way here, Yukari, so we could test the power-transfer plan. However, it's later in the day than I thought, so it's actually good that you missed that. We'll have to put off the test run for now. You're giving Reimu a gap underground, right?" If she's not: "Then please do so."
>"You're acting more hastily than one would expect from the Yama."
>"What's Suika's progress on Koishi's location?"
>Kanako has just revealed Koishi's location; near the foot of Youkai Mountain with Maribel, Renko, and Yuyuko. Then Kanako said something about Koishi watching Maribel and Renko the last time you asked her to search for Koishi."
>Crotaphytinae Caller: Frown. Is the Yama getting more erratic...? If this keeps up, she might be a danger to herself as much as anything. That voice must be getting to her. Well, watch and wait for now... though some backup in case she loses it wouldn't hurt.
>She's going crazy...
>Glare at the slow-opening gap for a moment (presuming it's there), then look at Minoriko. "Yeah, things are kinda crazy. Where was I? Oh, right, what was Shizuha mad at Utsuho about?"
>"Partly because Shizuha still supported the existence of Gensokyo Isle, and partly because Utsuho attacked the incident without thinking of the potential collateral damage."
>Idiot Rodent: Ponder for a moment. Let's see, what would Mary do...
>">Whisper back, "It does sound crazy, but I guess I'm a little curious... how did she know we were here, at least? And if this is all based on Sakuya's head... wouldn't they be at the mansion?"
>Purvis says "'Yeah, I guess curiosity is reasonable.'"
>We need to check the library and update any of the more active incident crew on this. How mobile is Purvis willing to be while hosting a Quest?
>Not willing at all. He never seems to leave his trash can during storytelling. Of course, there are breaks during quests where he does leave the can.
>Does Purvis typically pause for a while during long travel times or other time-consuming activities by the character in the Quest? Or would Purvis' Gensokyo be temporally desynced from us, assuming this is real?
>He doesn't pause during long travel times or activities, so it looks like the latter.
>Failing that, is there anyone here that's mostly watching and might be willing to head to the Library and pass along the info?
>You don't think so.
>Beat up Blitzer and steal their lunch money
>Hell no, as parser of Eiki Quest I decide your fate, and your fate is to not beat me up and take my lunch money.
>Insert Ijiyatsu sex (M/F) of E-Mouse here.

>Shiki: "Yes, that's true. Yuyuko, Koishi's near you. Find her and tell her that the voice has declared an intent to reopen her third eye. Then stay with her, for her sake. I want someone there with her in case something happens."
>"Yukari, this situation demands haste. For all I know, we could already be too late."
>Walk over to Suika.
>"Suika, resting time's over. I want you to head out to join Yuyuko's search for Koishi-and just fly over there; I don't want to tax Yukari any more than I have to. Make some mini-yous to help look. I'll be following along shortly."
>Reimu: "I have to take care of something else right now, but I'll be back soon."
>Once the gap has formed, enter it. If Yukari hasn't started forming the gap yet: "Yukari, aren't you supposed to gap me underground?"

>"Yukari, this situation demands haste. For all I know, we could already be too late."
>"I haven't reopened Koishi's eye yet. I said I would do it at the end of the day, and I'm now clarifying that as midnight. And it isn't a bad thing, either, she deserves it."

>She yawns. "Shame. I'll head over." She gets up.

>Reimu: "I have to take care of something else right now, but I'll be back soon."
>Minoriko eyes the gap for a moment and says "Oookay..."

>Once the gap has formed, enter it. If Yukari hasn't started forming the gap yet: "Yukari, aren't you supposed to gap me underground?"
>You enter the gap. You then find yourself on the street in front of the entrance to the Palace of the Earth Spirits.

>Shiki: "That would be why I'm following behind. Suika, you go first. You and Yuyuko find Koishi. Yukari, keep an eye on them, and if they find Koishi, keep track of her. I'll follow along behind, and if Koishi tries to run, I'll want you to coordinate between myself, Suika, and Yuyuko in order to intercept her."
>Suika: "Right, okay."
>We don't need the mini-Suika we sent to the shrine anymore. Do whatever we need to do to get rid of it, then head towards Yuyuko's position. If the mini-Suika needs to be called back to us, do that, then head for Yuyuko while it comes to us.
>Reimu: Is there anyone around? If so, approach them. If not, enter the palace..

>Yes, this could be a problem. Koishi hasn't had nearly enough time to find the truth as originally planned. Damn it, why did the voice have to do this now?

>The Hunger: "... Eiki, are you alright? You said that she was near here - knowing her power, she's probably overheard me by now. Isn't that warning enough?"

>Naturally, Ijiatsu players would inquire about the mention of Koishi by this point.

>Rodentius: ... oh shit, compulsions? Isn't that something Koishi would do? Just like we thought she was making Renko act selfish?
>Then again, we missed most of Utsuho Quest... it might not work that way in Purvistan.
