Reimu Quest

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's have a  look around and try to figure out what got submerged.
>Also, how does the three faeries' house seem to be doing?

[日巫子]

>Let's have a  look around and try to figure out what got submerged.
>Also, how does the three faeries' house seem to be doing?

> You sidle around to the back of the shrine to take a look at the three faeries' place.
> The pond in your backyard, which is emitting a warm glow from the center, seems to have flooded over, and the bottoms of the trees in your orchard are submerged.  You believe the three faeries' tree is among them.
> From where you're standing, you can see that even your hot springs have taken a hit.  Well, at least it's not winter.

[Hello Purvis]

>Contemplate that glow.

[Sect]

> Get Sango to clean up this mess because seriously.
> Speak aloud. "Hey, Yukari. Wake up. We need to have words."

[FinnKaenbyou]

> Get Sango to clean up this mess because seriously.

>Deny all responsibility.

[日巫子]

>Contemplate that glow.

> It's a bronze-colored glow.  Whatever is causing it must be pretty impressive, if it can shine all the from the bottom of the pond.  At least, you assume that the light source is at the bottom of the pond.

> Get Sango to clean up this mess because seriously.
> Speak aloud. "Hey, Yukari. Wake up. We need to have words."

> error: Sango.png not found
> You call out to Yukari and nothing happens.  Of course.

>Deny all responsibility.

[Hello Purvis]

>Schlep over to the edge of the pond and try to get an idea of what is causing the glow.
>Try to get a good feel for the extent of the flood damage. Also ponder what Genjii is up to in all this.

[日巫子]

>Schlep over to the edge of the pond and try to get an idea of what is causing the glow.
>Try to get a good feel for the extent of the flood damage. Also ponder what Genjii is up to in all this.

> Ugh, it's so wet.  At least you can fly.
> You peer into the pond.  The water is unusually clear, but you're not questioning this gift.  At the bottom of the pond is what you assume to be a small piece of glass.
> You'd say a lot of Gensokyo has probably been affected by this.  As for your shrine, it doesn't seem like your roof is leaking, but with all this water you're afraid the basement is going to be waterlogged.
> Genji is a turtle...tortoise...he'll be fine.  He's probably floating around somewhere right now.

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we reach the piece of glass without getting soaked?

[O4rfish]

>Doesn't matter. Get it anyway.

[日巫子]

>Can we reach the piece of glass without getting soaked?

> No.

>Doesn't matter. Get it anyway.

> It's not like getting wet will kill you, so you dive into the pond.
> ...In hindsight, perhaps you shouldn't have leapt in fully-clothed.  Not only is it hard to move, but you're being dragged towards the bottom.  Which is where the glass is, but returning to the surface will be a problem.

> _

[Sect]

> Drag ourselves out, and make sure we're correctly attired for jumping in questionable ponds to grab mysterious objects.

[Hello Purvis]

>Also, try to gauge the depth. It's not like we're a swimguy. Perhaps we can nab it with something.

[Sect]

>Also, try to gauge the depth. It's not like we're a swimguy. Perhaps we can nab it with something.

> Do this first. No sense in jumping in again if we don't need to.

[日巫子]

>Also, try to gauge the depth. It's not like we're a swimguy. Perhaps we can nab it with something.

> It's quite deep.  You can see the bottom, but you doubt you could hold your breath for that long.

> Drag ourselves out, and make sure we're correctly attired for jumping in questionable ponds to grab mysterious objects.

> With some difficulty, you extract yourself from the pond.  At least it's not winter.

[Hello Purvis]

>Wring out clothes, and contemplate if we have anything long enough to get down there.
>Then ponder the likelihood of the underground getting flooded out in a similar fashion.

[日巫子]

>Wring out clothes, and contemplate if we have anything long enough to get down there.
>Then ponder the likelihood of the underground getting flooded out in a similar fashion.

> As you wring the water from your skirt, you contemplate your options.  It's not like you have a long pole to stick down there or anything...
> If there's this much water above ground, the underground is probably like a fish bowl at this point.  Probably.  You don't know how that would work out.
> You hear Suika calling you from the shrine.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Definitely going to have to look into that shortly, then. Can't have Satori be waterlogged.
>Head inside to see what Suika wants.

[日巫子]

>Definitely going to have to look into that shortly, then. Can't have Satori be waterlogged.
>Head inside to see what Suika wants.

> You return to the shrine while worrying about Satori.
> When you get inside, you see Suika standing in the kitchen, looking half-asleep.
> "Oh, there you are, Reimu...why're you all wet?"

> _

[Sect]

> Contemplate the wisdom of tossing Suika out there to show her.
> Nah.
> "The shrine's a bit waterlogged from the rain last night." Gesture out the door to invite her to have a look.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hey, are you any good at swimming? There's some weird glowing glass thing in the pond I want to get."

[O4rfish]

She might be good at wading.

[日巫子]

> Contemplate the wisdom of tossing Suika out there to show her.
> Nah.
> "The shrine's a bit waterlogged from the rain last night." Gesture out the door to invite her to have a look.

> That'd be hilarious.  You should do it.
> But you don't.
> Suika steps outside, squints in a confused manner, and then looks up at the sky.
> "Damn."

>"Hey, are you any good at swimming? There's some weird glowing glass thing in the pond I want to get."

> "Yeah I can swim!" says Suika.  "I could even just stick my arm in there if you really wanted me too.  Depends on how big this glass thing is."

> _

[Sect]

> ... Oh. Right. She can do that whole size thingy. Didn't she get into a fight with Sanae's puppet that one time?
> "Right, go for it." INECK CHOCK

[Hello Purvis]

>Then go back inside to check on Akyuu.
>If she's still asleep, give her a gentle nudge and say, "Hey, you're missing some history."

[日巫子]

> ... Oh. Right. She can do that whole size thingy. Didn't she get into a fight with Sanae's puppet that one time?
> "Right, go for it." INECK CHOCK

> She did.  It was incredible.
> Suika flexes her muscles and grows to the size of a small house.  The power is flowing through my veins!!!

>Then go back inside to check on Akyuu.
>If she's still asleep, give her a gentle nudge and say, "Hey, you're missing some history."

> As Suika sticks her arm in the pond, you go back inside to see how Akyuu is doing.
> She's still asleep, so you very carefully nudge her awake.  She looks around blearily and responds with a half-awake mumble.
> "Mmrgh..."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Nudge nudge.
>"There's history out there, you should probably see it."
>If she doesn't wake up, head back outside.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>What are the odds of casualties? Is this an eventuality Gensokyo is prepared for, or will people have been caught off guard?

[日巫子]

>Nudge nudge.
>"There's history out there, you should probably see it."
>If she doesn't wake up, head back outside.

> Akyuu swings her arm in your general direction, in a sleepy sort of way, but she does get up and stagger out of her futon.

>What are the odds of casualties? Is this an eventuality Gensokyo is prepared for, or will people have been caught off guard?

> No way, even flooding is uncommon around these parts.  Gensokyo is all forests and mountains, and even you've never seen this much water before.
> You hope everyone's okay...

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Head back outside, while considering what places are nearby and what would serve as a good quick inspection route.
