>Well this is going to get annoying quickly.
>Drop Alice in a gap and close it so only her head is sticking out.
>Still keep an eye out in case she figured out a way to control those dolls without her fingers in play or there's some other shenanigans in this room.
>Wait, you know what, mess with the boundary of motion and paralysis and seal both of their movements outside of talking.
>"Now you see, this is why I have to start greetings like this, everyone's become so violent in two years."
>Is Ran okay? Mentally check on her.
>Take that voodoo doll from Rinnosuke now by the way. And pull out the umbrella since it seems that someone wants to get stabbed today.
>"So, who wants to start explaining first? The explosive greetings, locking youkai up in your basement, making me have to track you down, any is a good place to start."
>If anymore stuff comes at us by the way, gap everything in the room that's not a living person to some remote place, we don't have time for this nonsense.
>Why can't things ever be simple?
>You attempt to drop Alice through a gap, but she quickly changes her location.
>Alice does not appear to be taking any further action at the moment.
>To mess with a boundary like that would cause problems with far too many other things for you to be comfortable with doing it.
>Rinnosuke responds with a small laugh.
>"I'm just here, minding my own business when you decide to restrain me. My faithful little servant here simply attempted to help me. If anything, you're the violent one here."
>From what you can tell, Ran is simply disorientated for the time being. She should regain her bearings in a few minutes at most.
>You do not know where he is keeping the doll.
>To pull out your umbrella you would have to free at least one of your arms which, in turn, would allow Rinnosuke to use one of his. Do you still wish to perform this action?
>"Why not start with you? You tell me to leave your sight whilst threatening to take my life, only to come after me again to make more demands. Just what is it that you want?"
>Nothing seems to be moving for now though Rinnosuke seems fairly relaxed, given his position.
