[Hello Purvis]

> Attempt to roll barrel out of tavern.
> If successful, head to Youkai Mountain.
> Stick to shade.

>You don't think you'll be able to put it on its side to roll it out to begin with. And if you could, it would not fit outside the door that way. And if it did, you certainly couldn't roll it up the side of a mountain.

[Toasty]

>look inside barrel

[Hello Purvis]

>look inside barrel

>The barrel seems to be sealed; and you are not tall enough to see the top in any event.

[Seian Verian]

> "It seems a bit... Large. And too heavy for me to lift. Would this be an acceptable trade for the lemonade?"
> Offer Tenshi Frog Oil
< If offer is refused, Mukyu

[Kasu]

> Ask help of tavern patrons.
> If refused, cry.

[Demonbman]

>Make the door bigger, push it with wind magic

[UncertainJakutten]

>Ask Tenshi about Jeff K Anon before leaving.

[Hello Purvis]

> "It seems a bit... Large. And too heavy for me to lift. Would this be an acceptable trade for the lemonade?"
> Offer Tenshi Frog Oil
< If offer is refused, Mukyu

>"I really don't need that," says Tenshi, "But you can get some help if you want. Just have it done before the end of the day."
>You Mukyu. And Tenshi snerks.

> Ask help of tavern patrons.
> If refused, cry.

>You get a generalized no from the tavern patrons. You'd cry, but you're really not surprised by this.

>Make the door bigger, push it with wind magic

>In theory this is a good plan, but you have no real way to enact it.

>Ask Tenshi about Jeff K Anon before leaving.

>"Who?" answers Tenshi.

>_

[Kasu]

> Yell "Look! Its Yuka Kazami!" as a distraction.
> Get the hell out of the tavern and run as fast you can.

[Hello Purvis]

> Yell "Look! Its Yuka Kazami!" as a distraction.
> Get the hell out of the tavern and run as fast you can.

>"Where?!" says Tenshi, looking around.
>You escape the tavern.
>You are in the human town! People bustle about their hot, dusty business, some of them giving you sidelong looks after your last couple escapades. You can see Keine's school to the nouth, and a tavern to the west. To the south there is an alleyway between two houses. A the road continues north to the other side of town, and another goes east toward a shrine in the distance. Obvious exits are NorthA, NorthB, SouthA, SouthB, East, and West.

I like this thread.

> Resist your mildly schizophrenic urges and make your way to Kourindou in search of the Secret Clamshell.

[Kasu]

> Try to find cover as you make your way to Kourindou so that Tenshi doesn't find you.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Ask anyone you meet along the way about Jeff K Anon.

[Hello Purvis]

> Resist your mildly schizophrenic urges and make your way to Kourindou in search of the Secret Clamshell.

> Try to find cover as you make your way to Kourindou so that Tenshi doesn't find you.

>You head South and leave town. There isn't much in the way of cover, unfortunately. But it doesn't seem that Tenshi is chasing you.
>You arrive at a T-Intersection with a lone house. The road stretches north and south, toward town and the forest of magic respectively, while the intersecting road to the east leads toward a mountain in the distance. The house stands opposite of teh road to the mountain, and has a sign by the door that reads, "Open". Obvious exits are west, east, north, and south.

>Ask anyone you meet along the way about Jeff K Anon.

>You do not encounter anyone.

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Head to the mountain in search of more hot sauce.

[Kasu]

> First head into Kourindou though, and ask Rinnosuke about the "secret shell".

[Hello Purvis]

>Head to the mountain in search of more hot sauce.

>Off to the mountain you go!

> First head into Kourindou though, and ask Rinnosuke about the "secret shell".

>Wait, no! You go into Kourindou instead.
>The first thing you notice is that it is refreshingly cool in here. Shelves line the walls, and there are a few stands filled with all sorts of random objects. Rinnosuke sits in a rocking chair behind the counter on the far side of the store. There is a door off to the south, and another behind the counter. Obvious Exits are East, West, and South.
>The store contains:
>Dictionary
>Broken Broadsword Handle
>Secret Seashell
>Banson's Aria
>An Empty Bottle

>Bag of Flour
>Book Entitled: Civil Enginneer by Hartman and Pert
>Book Entitled: Monday Magic by Patchouli Knowledge
>Flatscreen Television
>Fire Extinguisher
>Ball of Yarn
>AOL Disk in a Cardboard Sleeve.
>Iron Key
>Rinnosuke nods politely to you as you enter. "Miss Knowledge, what an rare surprise! Welcome."

> Ask Rinnosuke about seashell.
> Ask Rinnosuke about "Monday Magic".

[Hello Purvis]

>"Ah," says Rinnosuke. "That item came to me from...elsewhere. We'll say. It has a mysterious power."
>"That book? Marisa traded it to me in exchange for a container of Whey Protein. It is one of your works, is it not?"

>Ask about Iron Key

>"That is Nitori's spare key."

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Oh...also...I've been searching for a man, all across Gensokyo. His name is Jeff K Anon, do you know him?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh...also...I've been searching for a man, all across Gensokyo. His name is Jeff K Anon, do you know him?"

>Rinnosuke frowns. Then he leans forward and rests his chin on his hands, contemplating.  "I don't...but I feel the name is...not familiar, exactly, but I think that I've heard it."

[UncertainJakutten]

Rinnosuke frowns. Then he leans forward and rests his chin on his hands, contemplating.  "I don't...but I feel the name is...not familiar, exactly, but I think that I've heard it."

>"Hmm...that's the second time I've gotten a response like that. Do you know of any ways I could help you remember?"

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Buy all the hot sauce that Rinnosuke has.

[Rikter]

>Ask if he knows of any "Internets."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm...that's the second time I've gotten a response like that. Do you know of any ways I could help you remember?"

>"I am afraid I have no clue what would jog any memory I might have forgotten." Rinnosuke shrugs. "My apologies."

>Buy all the hot sauce that Rinnosuke has.

>Did you see any hot sauce in the items listed? No you did not.

>Ask if he knows of any "Internets."

>He just grins and says nothing.

>Search for Memory Restoration spells. Make quest out of components, or make subquest for "Search for Jeff" quest.

>Spells that mess with the mind are bad news to begin with, mixing that with five element style is doubly bad; no one wants metal in their brainmeats.

>Are you sure there's no way I can project someone's memories say...using electrical or water elements?

(Yes, I know, I don't know Patchy's five signs, which is while I'll fail at this)
