>You imagine Yukari wanted you to put another coal in the brazier she uses to heat her sleeping area.
>You can think of a few places that would be warm. There was that geyser opened up recently. Or possibly she just went back to her warm bed. It's hard to tell.

> Whats the closest "warm" area to our current location? Check that one. If it leads near the Yakumo household, stop in and see if Yukari is their.

OOC: Is Yukari actually naked, or just in pajamas/whatever clothing she would sleep in? I'm trying to picture Yukari wearing Yuka's pagamas...

>You aren't actually sure where you are right now, what with the moving ship and all. But you think it would either be home or that geyser. Or maybe she just went somewhere to get out of the wind?

>You've not been to the geyser, but you heard it's somewhere North-ish of the entrance to the Underground. Which would put it around the edge of the Forest of Magic.

>Deciding that speed is of the essence, you leave the house and try to find the geyser.
>You head for the Forest of Magic, and for Marisa's house once again. Then you head north, coming to a large mushroom with a door and some windows set in it. Past that, you can see a ravine that leads north and downward to the Underground. To the north are more trees, giving way to the fields, while to the west and south, you can see the Bamboo Forest. East will take you back where you came. Obvious exists are North1, North2, West1, West 2, East, and South.

>You don't know if anyone broke in, but it doesn't look like anyone did.
>If Yukari took them, then she must have hidden them in a gap while sleepwalking. You would have no way to get them then. Or worse, she just lost them. If it was Chen...well, you don't know. Except that it would be bad for her to try and use them.
