>"Supposedly, there's a garden somewhere southwest of here, where you can find just about every kind of flower known to man and youkai. Maintained by a powerful old youkai who doesn't take too kindly to strangers. Trouble is, our professor didn't know exactly where it was. Kinda got the impression no one does."

>You're not certain if it's so much you being intimidating as her being shy. Taeya, at least, seems quite unaffected, though she does cock an eyebrow at her friend.

If the water and the vigor don't have an expiration date or anything, I think we should go get those made now, since the alchemy shop is that close.
After that's done, though, I'm open to suggestions, as I doubt bouncing around greenhouses is going to get us what we want.

>Head back to the alchemy shop we were at before.

I dunno. It'd be pretty humiliating to spill the stuff when Yuka piledrives us.

Can we mix it onsite? I can't remember.

Assuming we can get there. Knowing Yuka's garden exists and knowing which hill to stagger over blindly are a bit of a ways apart.
But I believe the prof said something about there being technicalities in the mixing process, at least for the vigor, that would be beyond us.

I might add, I personally would rather not deal with Yuuka if at all possible, for a number of reasons, but I do realize she does seem to be the obvious answer.

It might be better to get the ingredients after we get back, then. if we're not carrying them, no risk in losing them.

Or get them and store them somewhere. That was the money is spent even if we're robbed.

Store them where?

And we can't act as though we're assuming Naz is leaving town. It's in character, and logical of her, to hit up the greenhouses and nurseries here in town first, or at least a couple of them. If for nothing else than to ask some questions.
And even assuming Yuuka is the one answer, we can't leave until we have a better idea where to find her. Otherwise we'd be wandering around the boondocks until our death clock runs out.

Yeaaaah, that's kinda the big snag here. We gotta narrow it down more than just 'Somewhere to the southwest'.
The way I see it, that garden's our only shot at it. Folks have done a lot of things they don't want to for the sake of living.

I've played enough RPGs to know that someone here in town has to know something that can help point us in the right direction. But until we find that person (and I'm damned if I can think of who that might be) then we should exhaust our potential sources here in town for the seeds.
You never know. Someone at one of these nurseries and gardens here in town might know something.

Wouldn't Keine, or one of her associates know more about the location?
And I do agree though, there's bound to be someone who can tell us the info we're after.

This isn't Keine's department. If anyone would know about plants and such, it would have been the eggheads back at the alchemy/herbology department back there, and I'm not sure scouring the place for a 'better' expert than doctor floatzel would get us anywhere. She told us about it, but I think we'll have to look somewhere else for more precise directions.

Either that, or find a magician that specializes in tracking organic matter, since that's one thing we can't douse for.

If we find that person, then the way to the garden is all but assured!

I've my doubts it'll be that easy, but it's an avenue that might be worth exploring. Since this school has an enchantment section, it stands to reason that there'd be one for divination, as well.
You blokes think we should look into that while we're here?

Bear in mind, though, that even if we find a mage exactly like we want, I still say we need to visit at least one nursery here in town, to inquire about the seeds. It'd be too meta-gamey if we ignored in-town options before ruling them out and went right to the FC.

>Abort travel plants for now.
>During our walkings about here on campus, did we see a general campus guide, or any indication of a divination section of the place?
