Reimu Quest

[Hello Purvis]

>"How much?"

These are perfect for bribing faeries with, I think.

[日巫子]

>"How much?"

> "35μ," Tokiko says, putting the jar back on the shelf.

[Hello Purvis]

>How much of this money are we going to need for repairs and stuff, anyways? What's the kind of income we can expect and the status of favors we can call in?
>Inquire about the tea set.

> The shrine isn't too badly damaged, but you'd need a lot more than what you have on your person.  You have some more money stashed away in the shrine for emergencies, and if need be you can hunt down people to lend a hand.  Suika owes you chores just by living with you, so she'd be easy to recruit.  The menreiki youkai, Kokoro, could also owe you a favor for starting an incident that one time.  Aside from that...you're honestly stumped.  You solve a lot of incidents, but you hardly ever do personal favors for people.
> "It's a magic tea set," Tokiko says.  "It heals you if you're injured, but it only works with tea."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Does it have to be hot? And how much?"

[日巫子]

>"Does it have to be hot? And how much?"

> "No....I don't think so...And it's 150μ."

[Hello Purvis]

I'm thinking we want the tea set for ourselves, beads to bribe faeries, and the marbles to look around places.

[O4rfish]

Yeah, but we should save a self-reward for us after we accomplish something. I was thinking the tea set, or maybe the hooded dress and basket. We also should place an order for a school swimsuit.

[FinnKaenbyou]

We also should place an order for a school swimsuit.

Now you're speaking my language.

>Is there anything pressing we may need to buy outside of Kourindou? If so we should probably but a ceiling on our spending.

[Hello Purvis]

Oh, the tea set isn't a reward. It's a tool. We may need to recover faster than usual, or help someone else do so.

Also I got no problems with swamsuits

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Actually, regarding the swimsuit - do we have options regarding the swimsuit's design, or is it one type only?

[日巫子]

>Is there anything pressing we may need to buy outside of Kourindou? If so we should probably but a ceiling on our spending.

> No.  You already have groceries.

>Actually, regarding the swimsuit - do we have options regarding the swimsuit's design, or is it one type only?

> Rinnosuke will most likely let you make your own design.

[Hello Purvis]

I trust Roukan to design a swamsuit proper.

>Get the marbles, tea set, and beads. And ask for a carrying bag if  necessary.

[O4rfish]

>Get the marbles, tea set, and beads. And ask for a carrying BASKET if  necessary.

[日巫子]

>Get the marbles, tea set, and beads. And ask for a carrying bag if  necessary.

> Tokiko fumbles around in one of the drawers, takes out a rectangular device, and punches some buttons on it.
> "That will be...235μ."

> 1500μ ---> 1265μ
> Obtained: Tea Set x1, Bag of marbles x1, Jar of Beads x1

> "Thank you for your patronage!" Tokiko recites with a smile.  The wing on the back of her head flaps a few times.  "Um...a...a basket?  D-do we--"
> "No," Rinnosuke says as he places a bucket under a steady stream of water coming from the ceiling.
> Tokiko turns back to you.  "I can wrap that up in plastic if you want."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sure."
>We feel confident about putting these in the sleeves, yes?

[O4rfish]

I guess the 1 x wicker basket is only if you pay for it separately.

>"Also I would like to place an order for a swimsuit."

[日巫子]

>"Sure."
>We feel confident about putting these in the sleeves, yes?

> Tokiko nods and starts wrapping your purchases in plastic.
> Of course.  You could fit a chair in your sleeves if you wanted.

>"Also I would like to place an order for a swimsuit."

> "Hmm...what color and design do you want?" Tokiko asks.

> _

[FinnKaenbyou]

Apparently I'm in charge of design, so:

> A red one-piece, with pink frills running along the waist. And a yin-yang orb emblem on the chest, just so people REALLY know who they're screwing with.

> "Can I get the inner tube too? It's not for me. Probably."

> Serious question time - could this incident have caused any casualties? If so, where's the area in the most danger right now? The Underground?

> You describe the design to Tokiko, who writes it hastily on a scrap of paper.  She hands it over to Rinnosuke, who drops everything he's doing and goes to the back of the shop.
> "That'll be 10μ for the inner tube.  We'll charge you for the swimsuit when it's done," Tokiko says.  She reaches behind the counter and retrieves a large, transparent blue inner tube with brightly-colored fish patterned onto it.
> As bad as it sounds, there probably are casualties.  Gensokyo wasn't ever exactly a water world, and as a result many of its residents are unable to swim.  You imagine the Underground will be having a hard time dealing with this, as water filling up in there would be like filling a bottle and putting a cork on it.

[Hello Purvis]

>Have we ever actually witnessed a youkai; or an oni in particular, ever really come close to drowning?

My suggestion is that we go to human town first out of dutifulness, since it's in a low area and since Lil ReiRei tends to take the protecting humans bit rather seriously. Especially since Suika is already going underground, so she can alleviate issues there.

[O4rfish]

>Pay the money.
>"I'm heading to the human village. Any message you want me to deliver while I'm there, to your mother Ms Kamishirasawa for example?

[FinnKaenbyou]

...and as a result many of its residents are unable to swim.

>Important question we probably need clarified - can we swim?

>Also, I can't believe we've never thought of this before - maybe we should visit the kappa once we've checked the human village is okay. If any race will have a countermeasure to this, it'll be them.

[日巫子]

>Have we ever actually witnessed a youkai; or an oni in particular, ever really come close to drowning?

> No.

>Pay the money.
>"I'm heading to the human village. Any message you want me to deliver while I'm there, to your mother Ms Kamishirasawa for example?

> 1265μ ---> 1255μ
> "Umm..."  Tokiko taps her chin.  "Tell her we're okay here.  Also, one of the packages here is for--"
> She grabs a small package and reads the label.  "--for Fujiwara-san, in the Human Village."

>Important question we probably need clarified - can we swim?

>Also, I can't believe we've never thought of this before - maybe we should visit the kappa once we've checked the human village is okay. If any race will have a countermeasure to this, it'll be them.

> Yes.  You have a pond in your backyard, after all.
> In a sudden moment of brilliance, you remember the kappa.  They don't dislike humans, and they'll probably know what to do in this situation.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Thanks!"
>Head out, and toward Humanville.

[日巫子]

>"Thanks!"
>Head out, and toward Humanville.

> Obtained: Inflatable Inner Tube x1
> "Ah..."  Tokiko starts to say something to you, but you're already out the door and on your way to the Human Village.
> As you proceed towards the village, the water gets deeper and deeper, until your skirts are billowing up around you.  You manage to find a hill to climb up to avoid the worst of the water, and look out over the valley where the Human Village is.
> It's worse than it looked from the shrine.  The entire village, built on flat ground, is completely underwater.  The very familiar shadow of a large ship reflects down on the sunken village.  You identify it as the Palaquin, which seems to have been reverted to its original ship form.  Farther off, you see rafts of bamboo floating in the water.  A single silver-haired figure can be seen swimming over the buildings.  There are a great deal of fish here, many of which you've never seen before.  A small swarm of big ones with fins on their backs cut through the water, making a beeline for a destination unbeknownst to you.

[FinnKaenbyou]

A single silver-haired figure can be seen swimming over the buildings.

Sango?!
>Is there any sign of anyone in immediate danger? If not, fly down to the silver-haired person and try to initiate discussion.

[O4rfish]

>Fly.
>Examine large fish.
>Approach and greet swimming person.
>Wonder where the fish came from.

[日巫子]

>Is there any sign of anyone in immediate danger? If not, fly down to the silver-haired person and try to initiate discussion.

>Fly.
>Examine large fish.
>Approach and greet swimming person.
>Wonder where the fish came from.

> All seems calm, so you fly over the water and try to get the swimming person's attention.  She looks up at you and lets loose a stream of bubbles from her mouth.
> Now that you're closer, you're able to recognize this woman as Fujiwara no Mokou.  She's dressed in a tank top and shorts, and nearly splashes you with water as she surfaces.
> "Hey, red-white!  I knew you'd show up sooner or later," Mokou says.
> You watch the larger fish as they pass by.  They look rather daunting, but they seem to be ignoring the both of you.  They can't have come from here; did they come in with the water?

> _

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Mokou! Good to see you're holding up the fort. What's the situation?"
>Pull out Mokou's package. "Also, Rinnosuke said this was for you."
