>Marisa frowns. "Well...I guess. But I've gotten really attached to it. Are you sure you need it back that badly?"

>Or we could wait until she leaves and look to see if its in the chest.
>Then, we copy and or steal it.

>You doubt she'd just leave it around. ...You really really hope she wouldn't just leave it around.

>It's possible, just time consuming like most magical things tend to be. You've never really needed to until today, though you'd periodically lament the theft. It also bothers you to be using something that someone else is using; although Yuka apparently doesn't have this problem.
>"Well...maybe I could," says Marisa. "I've never really worked on a big project like that before with someone else."

>Now it is Personal
>You have vowed revenge against a certain Tengu for making a fool of you.
>It is a little before 9 PM. You are moderately tired, but you still have some energy left in you. Likely, though, you're not going to bother with going out and doing much of anything tomorrow or the next few days. Or weeks. It's been a week since your could use the library properly, and the only reason you really started roving about was due to being stir-crazy. You fully intend to make up for lost time, and then some, unless a proper Incident arises.

>You imagine it'll take some time for the Prismrivers to really reunite. And things with Sakuya are going to be on hold for awhile.
>"I don't have a map," says Marisa, "But I've been lots of places! I can tell you how to get pretty much anywhere that anyone knows about. Why do you care about Aya? Let the tengu catch her again, they're the ones who let her get loose in the first place."
>Suika may well have that note stuck to her, still. You would not be surprised if she's still where you left her last time.

>First, try to recall if we already have a reasonably recent map of Gensokyo in the library. If that is the case, no need to bother Marisa about it.

>No you do not. At the very least, they wouldn't have mention of Eientei, the Moriya Shrine, or the Underground. And probably have a couple things that no longer exist.

>I said EXAMINE quests. Not check.

>You get an old map out, and start going over it with Marisa. Not wanting to deface an old document, you quickly set about to sketching out a new map. You are able to add quite a few things yourself just from what you have seen today. Marisa adds the locations of the Nameless Mound, the Sanzu River, and a few other minor things. Soon, you have a reasonably complete map. The scale is a bit questionable, and artistic quality is lacking, but it is still quite serviceable. This would probably be pretty valuable, except that no one seems to care enough to actually make one before you did.
>You obtain: Crude Map of Gensokyo.

> Sakuya won't be awake again before tomorrow, so remove "Making Amends" from Quests.
>In a similar manner, the Prismriver's reuniting will also take more time then just today, so that should be removed as well. We've set them on the right path in both cases, at least.

>You decide you've done all you reasonably can be expected to do right now. Later on, you'll check up on them again.

>Well, since we've technically completed both of those... think of a plan to recapture Aya while working on the map, since that's the very last quest to do. <.>

>Put plan to have aya draw map and then get her captured into action. Marisa might enjoy it.

>You ponder out how to recapture Aya. There are a few definite problems to consider. Firstly is the fact that she is significantly faster than you, and seems to have no trouble with running away when she smells trouble. After that is the fact that you are disarmed at the moment, so subduing her via spellcards is right out if you could make her stay still. She's also clearly a bit wary of you, given the circumstances, so trying to ask her to do something is probably right out. All in all, it's not a pretty situation. You wonder how they caught her the first time?
