Reimu Quest (Part 10)

[日巫子]

>"I'm a shrine maiden. ...Though I guess I could use a change of bandages."
>How's the activity around Eientei at the moment?

> "Oh, okay.  Well, the doctor's definitely in right now," says the rabbit.
> You look around Eientei.  The rabbits are acting just as carefree as you last saw them.  However, they seem to be a bit more organized now: very few are coming in through the surrounding bubble.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, I definitely need to see her."
>Head inside once we've properly demoisturized, if Rabite doesn't have more to say.

[日巫子]

>"Yeah, I definitely need to see her."
>Head inside once we've properly demoisturized, if Rabite doesn't have more to say.

> "Good luck with whatever," says the rabbit.  She promptly turns to animal form and hops off.
> After you've wrung your skirt out enough that it's not dripping, you head through the gates and into Eientei.  There are few rabbits in here, but the ones you see seem to be working, for once.  Non-rabbit youkai and faeries, most of them soaked, fill the chairs in the waiting area while a rabbit goes around handing them slips of paper.  Another is handing out towels.  Reisen is at the front desk, messing with a strange, multicolored cube and looking bored.  You think you've seen that kind of toy at Kourin's place before.

[Hello Purvis]

>Approach Reisen.
>"I need to talk to Eirin about important stuff."

[日巫子]

>Approach Reisen.
>"I need to talk to Eirin about important stuff."

> You go right past the waiting area and to the front desk.  Reisen puts the cube in her pocket.
> "Oh.  Come with me, then."  She gets up and starts off down the right hallway.  "This way."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh good, she still remembers what happened when she tried to stop us during the whole sealing away Gensokyo incident.

[日巫子]

>Oh good, she still remembers what happened when she tried to stop us during the whole sealing away Gensokyo incident.

> You guess she just doesn't want any trouble.  Of course, you're going to see Eirin no matter what, and the way Reisen is currently walking seems to be the way to her.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's follow that rabbutt.

[日巫子]

>Let's follow that rabbutt.

> You follow Reisen down the hall.  The chattering in the waiting room grows distant as you walk along, and the only sounds you hear now are footsteps and distant murmuring.  You pass by an open room and see rows of beds containing youkai who have been injured in one way or another.  After much walking, the two of you stop outside a check up room.  Eirin is in there, alone and unrolling a long sheet of paper over the examination table.
> "Hello, Udonge," she says to Reisen without looking up.
> "Hi, um, the red-white's back..."
> "That's fine, she can come in."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hello, Eirin."
>Head inside and have a seat.

[日巫子]

>"Hello, Eirin."
>Head inside and have a seat.

> "Hello, Reimu," says Eirin as you enter the room and sit on a nearby chair.  Reisen flees the scene.
> "I suppose you're here for a bandage change, are you not?"  Eirin gestures to your hands.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"That'd be nice, not not exactly. First, let me ask you do you have any writings stored around here on how the Great Hakurei Barrier was created?"

[日巫子]

>"That'd be nice, not not exactly. First, let me ask you do you have any writings stored around here on how the Great Hakurei Barrier was created?"

> "Unfortunately not.  We had not yet made ourselves known to the outside world when Gensokyo was sealed off, so no documents ever reached us," says Eirin.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"That's a same. Because we've decided to try and either fix or replace the barrier using more or less that method, and the more information we can get on how it works, the better."
>"Related to that, I would like to ask you to lend your considerable expertise to the project, if you can safely leave here at all. With you working with us, I'm sure we'll put the the original casting to shame!"

[日巫子]

>"Related to that, I would like to ask you to lend your considerable expertise to the project, if you can safely leave here at all. With you working with us, I'm sure we'll put the the original casting to shame!"

> "Of course," says Eirin with an amicable smile.  "I've estimated the water levels will decrease enough for anyone here to safely leave in a few hours."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"That's good, that's good. If possible, I would like you to bring the Princess with you, too. I am sure her talents will come in handy, at the very least."

[日巫子]

>"That's good, that's good. If possible, I would like you to bring the Princess with you, too. I am sure her talents will come in handy, at the very least."

> "I will speak to her about it," says Eirin.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"And if it won't take too long, maybe swap out these bandages? I kinda waterlogged them getting here."

[日巫子]

>Nod.
>"And if it won't take too long, maybe swap out these bandages? I kinda waterlogged them getting here."

> "I'm a doctor," says Eirin, and takes a roll of bandages from her pocket.  "That's my job."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, but I don't want people thinking I just cut in line for this. How do I keep it dry on the way out? And, thinking on it, how did you get all those sick people down here?"

[日巫子]

>"Yeah, but I don't want people thinking I just cut in line for this. How do I keep it dry on the way out? And, thinking on it, how did you get all those sick people down here?"

> "Just leave through the back, then," says Eirin.  "And those patients came in on their own.  The water is shallow enough on the top of the shield that they were able to come through on their own."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"I see."
>Let her do that thing.

[日巫子]

>"I see."
>Let her do that thing.

> You say nothing after that.  Eirin undos the bandages on your wrist and hands.  Your wrist stings a bit when she starts to wrap it up, but the pain dulls soon enough.  She then goes over your hands, and you feel much better with clean bandages on you.  Your wrist feels more secure than it did earlier, too.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"So how do I keep it dry on the way up?"

[日巫子]

>"So how do I keep it dry on the way up?"

> "With a waterproof charm.  Do you have something to write on?"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Not right now."

[日巫子]

>"Not right now."

> Eirin reaches into her pocket, takes out a pen, and scribbles some unfamiliar runes on your hands.
> "That'll have to do, then.  It's crude, so it'll lose its effectiveness in about 48 hours."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, nice. Thanks!"
>"Before I go, you wouldn't happen to have any Stixima Seeds, Phylangea Flowers, or Lily of the Valley, would you?"

[日巫子]

>"Oh, nice. Thanks!"
>"Before I go, you wouldn't happen to have any Stixima Seeds, Phylangea Flowers, or Lily of the Valley, would you?"

> "I have Lily of the Valley," says Eirin.  "You might be able to find Stixima Seeds and Phylangea Flowers in the Garden of the Sun, though."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"That's what I thought, but it's spent the last few days being flooded out by seawater, hasn't it?"
