Reimu Quest (Part 2)

[日巫子]

>Floating against the ceiling is fine for the moment, let's get our eyes fixed, unless we hear or sense something coming.

> You let yourself relax against the ceiling, and focus on your eyes.
> The hallway is quiet.  Only the sounds of water flowing can be heard.  Your eyes eventually stop hurting, but the world is still dark.  The most you can see is around the windows, where moonlight wavers on the wooden floor.  You don't think anything is coming.

[Hello Purvis]

>Have any of the doors opened or shut on their own, like with below?
>If not, let's briefly return to the first floor.

[日巫子]

>Have any of the doors opened or shut on their own, like with below?
>If not, let's briefly return to the first floor.

> No.
> You backtrack to Alice's bedroom, backtrack out the window, and return to the first floor through the front door.  It takes a while, but you're back where you started.  At a glance, not much has changed.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Is that one door still open?

[日巫子]

>Is that one door still open?

> It is.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Go have a look into it.

[日巫子]

>Go have a look into it.

> You swim over to the open door.
> It's so dark in the room that you can barely see.  The glass eyes on the floor are gone, leaving the floor bare.  The boxes at the back of the room, seem to have been knocked over as well, but they seem unharmed.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Light it up with some danmaku.

[日巫子]

>Light it up with some danmaku.

> The flash of light illuminates the room.  Aside from the small changes you noticed when you came in, nothing seems to have changed.

[Hello Purvis]

>Did we ever check out that bit in the back? Let's go do that. And close the door again.

[日巫子]

>Did we ever check out that bit in the back? Let's go do that. And close the door again.

> You never actually opened the door to the back room.
> You swim out of the kiln room, making sure the door is closed behind you this time.  You then swim back down the hall and, when you when you reach the sitting room, find that the door is still closed and its windows unharmed.  It's a bit eerie after seeing the damage throughout the rest of the house.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's head into the sitting room.

[日巫子]

>Let's head into the sitting room.

> You open the door to the sitting room and, thankfully, it gives no resistance.
> At a glance, this room looks normal.  The plants still appear to be alive, and the furniture is still where you would expect it to be if the house was not flooded.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Glance around for anything that catches our eye.

[日巫子]

>Glance around for anything that catches our eye.

> You look around, and see nothing that interests you.  This room is relatively unaffected compared to the others.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Poke around a little bit, looking under tables and chairs and such for signs that the flooding may not have entered here like it did elsewhere, given how undisturbed things are.

[日巫子]

>Poke around a little bit, looking under tables and chairs and such for signs that the flooding may not have entered here like it did elsewhere, given how undisturbed things are.

> You check under the furniture and look around at the windowed walls.  There don't appear to be any cracks in the glass.  You don't see anything under the tables or chairs, or in the corners of the room that would indicate something like mouse holes or damaged flooring.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Is there any place we have overlooked by this point?

[日巫子]

>Is there any place we have overlooked by this point?

> You think you've searched Alice's house up and down by this point.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Grumble and head back to Alice.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>make a mental note to tell Alice about the big creature in the dark room that we saw several pages ago earlier once we get there.

[日巫子]

>Grumble and head back to Alice.

>make a mental note to tell Alice about the big creature in the dark room that we saw several pages ago earlier once we get there.

> You vocalize your frustration and swim out, remembering to tell Alice what you saw when you surface.
> While it was almost pitch black inside the house, it's less dark outside.  The water is still being lit up with bursts of danmaku, and when you surface, you realize that it's Alice using them to light up the water.  Although she's mostly dry now, she's still shivering and clutching her dolls and grimoire to her chest.  With her free hand, she keeps shooting bullets until she finally notices you.
> "I-I was about to s-send for help!" she chatters.  Without the water surrounding you, it feels strange to be breathing in actual air.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"All that's in there is a fish about yea big."
>Spread out hands to indicate it's size. Hover if we need to.
>"It ran from danmaku like every other fish, though. I think it might have chewed up some of your dolls, though. Oh, and the door to the second floor is stuck."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"It ran from danmaku like every other fish, though. I think it might have chewed up some of your dolls, though. Oh, and the door to the second floor is stuck."

>State that there is actually two doors stuck, the one on the second floor in the middle on the right of the first hallway we were in on that floor and the door at the top of the stairs.

>State that there is actually two doors stuck, the one on the second floor in the middle on the right of the first hallway we were in on that floor and the door at the top of the stairs.

> You hold out your arms to indicate the fish's size to Alice.
> "That must have been it," she says, half to herself.  "There's no way it c-can't be aggressive, if it chewed up my dolls."
> As you hover out of the water, she hugs the dolls closer to her.  "I don't know about the doors.  They weren't s-stuck last time I used them."

> _

[O4rfish]

>"Some doors get stuck from humidity, right? And there's a lot of humidity down there."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, and are these yours?"
>Show her the two items we found there.

[日巫子]

>"Some doors get stuck from humidity, right? And there's a lot of humidity down there."

> Alice frowns.  "That's probably it."

>"Oh, and are these yours?"
>Show her the two items we found there.

> You show Alice the two gems you found.  She floats down for a closer look, and her eyes widen.
> "They are.  Wh-where did you find those?"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Scattered on the floor. What are they?"

[日巫子]

>"Scattered on the floor. What are they?"

> "They're supposed to be in b-box," Alice stammers.  "They're jewelry."
