>You return to your seat by the fire pit. Reimu does the same.

>"People here surprise me so many times. Like the usually dumb fairies. When I got to misty lake I saw Cirno and this other fairy she called Daiyousei. She looked like she was freezing insanely but kept sticking around Cirno. Made me feel a bit bad for her, even if she was just a fairy."

>Reimu opens her mouth to speak.
>Suddenly a deafening noise akin to wood breaking fills the room. Reimu immediately stands up.
>"Oh come on! I just replaced that door last week!" she exasperatedly shouts before storming off in the direction of the side door on the other side of the room.

>And before that there were these fairies making blocked aids...

>"Really?"

>Whoa, we haven't even started truth or dare for a second time and something already exploded again

>god... DAMMIT!

>Peek in on the situation.

>You turn around.
>Standing in front of a now smashed side door, is an girl sporting two horns, blonde hair, and holding a purple gourd. She appears to be staggeringly drunk.
>You recognize her as Suika Ibuki, an oni who lives somewhere on Youkai Mountain and has been known to frequent this area from time to time.

>"Sorry, Reimu! Maybe I shoulda knocked first. Ehehehehehe..." she says.
>"Yeah, maybe you should have." Reimu grumbles "Do you know how expensive these doors are?"
>"Nah! And I don't care!" Suika shouts triumphantly, "Wanna 'ave a drink?"
>"I would, if I hadn't drunk the last of my alcohol the last time you showed up... Now go home, Suika. You're drunk."
>"I'm not drunk! I'm justa wee bit tipsy, that's all! Besides, I can't go home. I'm snowed out!"
>"Snowed out...?"
>"Yeah, my house is covered in snow. So I thought I'd come over 'ere and share a drink with my buddy!" Suika looks in your direction and stares for a second, "Oi? Ain't that the girl from the Moriya shrine? Is she 'ere to drink too?"
>"No. She's just here to wait out the-"
>"Oi! You! Are ya 'ere to drink too!?!" Suika shouts in your direction.

[Neovereign]

>"Not really. I've got something I need to do so I'm waiting out the snowstorm."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Not really. I've got something I need to do so I'm waiting out the snowstorm."

>"Oh, okay..." Suika replies, "So... Do ya wanna 'ave a drink while you're waitin'?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>Stare at Reimu for advice: "Uhhh, I dunno..."
>How good can we hold our drinks?
>How thirsty are we?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Stare at Reimu for advice: "Uhhh, I dunno..."

>Reimu responds with an expression that can only be translated as "What are you looking at me for!?"
>"Well, let me know if ya made up your mind. It's not like I'm goin' anywhere anytime soon. Hehe..." Suika replies.
>At these words, Reimu's expression changes to the most unamused look you have ever seen.

>How good can we hold our drinks?

>You don't drink alcohol often. And when you do it's only a little. You'd estimate that your tolerance level is low to moderately low.

>How thirsty are we?

>You are a little thirsty, but it's not bad.
>Alcohol wouldn't help much, due to it's dehydrating nature. Tea, or even water, would be a better thirst quencher.

>Well, at least we have Suwako to (hopefully) keep Kogasa from snooping around our shrine like Suika...
>We shouldn't get drunk during an incident Because we're a good girl.
>"Hey Suika, have you seen lady Kanako around lately?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Well, at least we have Suwako to (hopefully) keep Kogasa from snooping around our shrine like Suika...

>You can only hope...

>We shouldn't get drunk during an incident Because we're a good girl.

>Alcohol will impair your judgement. Something you won't want to have when trying to solve an incident. And depending on your level of drunkenness, it can also cause you to black out, which would be really bad.

>"Hey Suika, have you seen lady Kanako around lately?"

>Suika staggers over to the fire pit and comically flops onto the floor.
>"Nope. Sorry. Why? Did ya lose her?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Well I've been looking for her a while after this incident started. Maybe I'll find her in the subterranean area"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well I've been looking for her a while after this incident started. Maybe I'll find her in the subterranean area"

>"Ah, alright then." says Suika before taking a giant swig from her gourd.
>Reimu comes back over to her spot and sits down once more.
>Silence falls over the room.

>"So guys wanna watch some TV-oh wait crap..."
>"..."
>"Wakasagihime was more fun than this" 
>"Ha-ku-ri Rei-mu♪ Sit-ting at the Ko-tat-su♪ ^{It's snowing on Mt. Youkai} We wait here with you♪"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So guys wanna watch some TV-oh wait crap..."

>"What the hell is a 'Tee-Vee'!?" Reimu asks.

>"..."

>Silence. Such painfully silent silence...

>"Wakasagihime was more fun than this" 

>"Then why don't you just go hang out with her then!?" Reimu exclaims.

>"Ha-ku-ri Rei-mu♪ Sit-ting at the Ko-tat-su♪ ^{It's snowing on Mt. Youkai} We wait here with you♪"

>Words like violence...♪ Break the silence...♪
>Reimu stares at you after you recite your haiku.
>"Please don't do that again..." she says.
>"Oi! I can sing too! Wanna hear?" Suika shouts.
>"Suika. No!"
>"Awww... You're no fun!"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I was just trying to pass the time with a little fun..."
>"Hey Suika? You're an Oni right? A strong Oni?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I was just trying to pass the time with a little fun..."
>"Hey Suika? You're an Oni right? A strong Oni?"

>"Yeah. Why do ya ask?" Suika replies.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Hey Reimu? Do you think it'd be a good idea to let her have a crack at opening that hatch in you know where? She could probably do it but we don't know what could be on the other side."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Hey Reimu? Do you think it'd be a good idea to let her have a crack at opening that hatch in you know where? She could probably do it but we don't know what could be on the other side."

>"I think it sounds like a perfect idea. If something bad happens to be the other side, Suika can just close the hatch again, or plug the opening with something." Reimu answers.
>"Yeah, I could totally do that!" Suika chips in.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Well then, I guess I'll come back to use the path later. Perhaps the hatch could even be related to the incident after all. But we still have to wait this blizzard out to even head to the hatch."
>"Quick question Suika, you don't mind getting wet as a result of this do you?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well then, I guess I'll come back to use the path later. Perhaps the hatch could even be related to the incident after all. But we still have to wait this blizzard out to even head to the hatch."

>"Yeah. I wish it would just blow away already..." says Reimu.

>"Quick question Suika, you don't mind getting wet as a result of this do you?"

>"Nah, not at all! I don't even need to fully submerge myself dependin' on 'ow far underwater it is." Suika pauses, " 'ow far underwater is it?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"It looks about five meters deep... But thanks to this snowstorm, it might be a bit deeper. We found it at the bottom of a recently frozen misty lake which was blown up earlier."
>"Who knows, maybe we'll run into Sakuya and Wakasagihime and they'll finally be able to see it for their selves as well."
_{//Thank goodness I always copy my post in case internet derps randomly.}

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"It looks about five meters deep... But thanks to this snowstorm, it might be a bit deeper. We found it at the bottom of a recently frozen misty lake which was blown up earlier."

>"Pffft. Nothing Ol' Suika can't 'andle!" Suika says with confidence.

>"Who knows, maybe we'll run into Sakuya and Wakasagihime and they'll finally be able to see it for their selves as well."

>"Well, nobody is going to see anything unless this snow clears up." Reimu remarks, "Speaking of which, I should probably go check if it has..."

[Neovereign]

>"Okay, I'll just sit here and not sing while you do..."

[WodofGar]

>Decide to fly into the storm anyway.
>Get lost in the forest.
>Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Him.
>"Uhhhhh, truth or dare?"

[Neovereign]

Was gonna reconsider and peep on Reimu but playing truth or dare with Suika could lead to another discovery inducing explosion nearby. So let's go with that.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay, I'll just sit here and not sing while you do..."

>Reimu stands up and begins walking towards the broken side door.

>Decide to fly into the storm anyway.
>Get lost in the forest.
>Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Him.

>You are now hopelessly lost. Good job!

>"Uhhhhh, truth or dare?"

>Suika looks at you for a moment, it appears that she's assessing what you just said.
>"DARE!" she exclaims.

[WodofGar]

>Should we drag Reimu into it?
>Drag Reimu into it.
>"I dare you to spike Reimu's drink!"
^{//Somehow I missed an entire page of stuff, but luckily my choices still apply. Sort of.}

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Should we drag Reimu into it?
>Drag Reimu into it.

>She isn't getting away scot-free!

>"I dare you to spike Reimu's drink!"

>Suika looks around.
>"But she's not drinkin' anythin'!" she whispers.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Oh... well then I dare you to sing. But you have to stop and act like nothing happened if Reimu comes back, so she'll think she's hearing things."

[WodofGar]

>Could have sworn there was tea...
>Do we have any earplugs on us?
