Reimu Quest

[日巫子]

>"I'll take care of that, don't worry about it."
>We do make Suika do the dishes, right?

> "Oh..."  She sits back down.
> Yes, yes you do.

> _

[Sect]

> Start gathering up the dishes we're done with.
> "Hey Suika, I'll go ahead and put them inside for you." If she usually is forced to take care of the dishes, then there's no reason we should stop that.

> "Sweet.  Thanks."  Suika stands up from the table and patters away into the kitchen.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Take the plates to the little oni.
>If Suika doesn't a hand with anything else, head on back to Akyuu.

[日巫子]

>Take the plates to the little oni.
>If Suika doesn't a hand with anything else, head on back to Akyuu.

> You clear the table.
> Back in the kitchen, Suika appears to be doing fine on her own.  She's putting the remaining food in containers.
> In the living room, Akyuu is still sitting at the table and watching the rain fall outside.  The thunder has gotten way more intense, now.

> _

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>We're used to thunder being like this, right?
>If so, go assure her it's okay~

[Sect]

> "Yeah, no way you're going back to the village in this weather."
> Sigh, and figure out what we need to pull out for a guest for the night. At least the, uh, meeting with Satori isn't 'till tomorrow.

> You reassure Akyuu that it'll be okay.  You've faced danmaku worse than this, after all.  She just nods and keeps staring outside.  You'll need a futon and a change of clothes for her, if she's going to stay the night...
> If you were to go Underground now, you'd probably have to deal with the rain until you got to the bridge.  The hole leading down there goes straight down, after all.
> You hear a deafening boom and then a crack, and all the lights go out.  Akyuu squeaks in surprise.  You hear Suika laughing from the kitchen.

> _

[Sect]

> Woah. Time to bring out the candles.
> When did we get lights that lightning could shut down? Was this Sanae's doing?

[日巫子]

> Woah. Time to bring out the candles.
> When did we get lights that lightning could shut down? Was this Sanae's doing?

> You start groping around in the dark in search of candles.
> The lightbulbs were Sanae's birthday present to you last December.  She claimed, in her typical grandiose Sanae fashion, that she was "bestowing upon you the gift of light".

> _

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Typical Sanae.

>"Suika! Candles!"

[日巫子]

>Typical Sanae.

>"Suika! Candles!"

> She was always rather hammy.
> "I'm on it!" you hear Suika call out.  The next things you hear are the scurrying of dozens of little footsteps and the chattering of little Suika voices.  Drawers open and shut, and finally you see a warm glow of light from the kitchen.  A parade of mini Suikas are marching out of the kitchen and into the gloom, holding candles and matches in their tiny arms.  Akyuu giggles as one of them clambers over her robes.

> _

[Sect]

> Sigh, and start lighting the candles.
> "Yeah, figures. It's all neat and bright, but one big bang and the lights just go 'poof!'. I'm going to have to talk about Sanae about this."

[an unmatched sock]

>Listen to the rain to see how hard it's coming down, then double-check all doors and windows. Can't be too careful! Don't forget a candle for vision purposes. After all, we can't see very well in darkness
>Look for extra futons and a change of clothes for Akyuu while we're up.

[日巫子]

> Sigh, and start lighting the candles.
> "Yeah, figures. It's all neat and bright, but one big bang and the lights just go 'poof!'. I'm going to have to talk about Sanae about this."

> You get to work aiding the mini-Suikas.
> One of the mini-Suikas pipes up.  "You should ask her to make some fist-proof lightbulbs while you're at it!"

>Listen to the rain to see how hard it's coming down, then double-check all doors and windows. Can't be too careful! Don't forget a candle for vision purposes. After all, we can't see very well in darkness
>Look for extra futons and a change of clothes for Akyuu while we're up.

> It's raining so loudly that it's a miracle you're able to hear yourself think.  You go around with a candle, making sure all the doors and windows are secure.  Suika forgot to close the one in the kitchen, looks like, so you take care of that.
> You venture into your room in search of things for Akyuu.  The shrine is now lit with the comforting golden glow of candles that takes you back to a time without electricity.  You briefly see Suika pass through another room setting up candles.  You get the feeling she doesn't even need the candles to see, but because you don't have a 60 foot see-in-the-dark vision radius can't see, she's helping out anyway.
> You're just carrying out a futon for Akyuu when you feel something drop on your head.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>What did it feel like?
>Feel our head.

[Dumanios]

>What happened?
>Did someone set up us the bomb?

[日巫子]

>What did it feel like?
>Feel our head.

> It felt...soft.
> You feel your head.  There's some sort of fabric resting on it.

>What happened?
>Did someone set up us the bomb?

> There appears to be some sort of silken fabric resting on your head.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Has this poked at our intuition at all?
>Look around for a source.
>If none is evident, remove fabric from our skull and examine it briefly.

[Dumanios]

>Examine fabric.
>Then examine surrounding area.

[日巫子]

>Has this poked at our intuition at all?
>Look around for a source.
>If none is evident, remove fabric from our skull and examine it briefly.

>Examine fabric.
>Then examine surrounding area.

> You look around but see nothing.  Something's fishy here.  No one else seems to have noticed this.
> You take the fabric off your head and realize that you're holding a silk glove.  It has clearly been made for a hand bigger than yours.  There's even lace on the cuff.  This is clearly a glove of quality and taste.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Is this Yukari's?
>If we have no reason to think it is not Yukari's, say, "Alright, where are you?"

[日巫子]

>Is this Yukari's?
>If we have no reason to think it is not Yukari's, say, "Alright, where are you?"

> There's no way it can't be.  Gloves this fancy don't just appear out of nowhere.
> You call out into the dark, and hear muffled giggling.  The unfamiliar voice makes Akyuu back in the living room jump in surprise.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm trying to have guests over here, Yukari."
>Pocket the glove. We'll toss it to the faeries later.

[O4rfish]

>Consider Yukari.

I like how sweet this quest seems. Sort of like Aria, or Millet Soup.

[Sect]

> At least it's a glove of quality and taste, not wealth and taste. Then we'd be in trouble.

[日巫子]

>"I'm trying to have guests over here, Yukari."
>Pocket the glove. We'll toss it to the faeries later.

> Obtained: Silk Glove x1
     > A soft silk glove with lace on the cuff, clearly a glove of wealth and taste.  Belongs to Yakumo Yukari.
> This shall be a suitable offering for the faeries, and perhaps an incentive for them to start taking their jobs seriously.
> "Aww, you're no fun, Reimu."  It's clearly Yukari's voice.  A couple of mini-Suikas hear her and start chattering with delight.

>Consider Yukari.

> Yakumo Yukari, long ago, was one of the people who had a hand in creating the Great Boundary.  She hibernates in the winter and sometimes shows up at your house to drink your tea.  As a rule of thumb, in the event that you require her assistance she will only take a passive role in helping you.  The only exception to this was the Full Moon incident years and years ago.  She's a bit of a nuisance, but at least she doesn't cause any trouble.  You'd be loathe to solve any incident she causes.

> At least it's a glove of quality and taste, not wealth and taste. Then we'd be in trouble.

> Maybe if it were made of solid gold, but then we'd have a completely different problem on our hands

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm barrels of fun, but you on the other hand... So, did you get caught in the rain or something?"
>Go back about our business. The gap hag will follow us if she cares to converse.

[日巫子]

>"I'm barrels of fun, but you on the other hand... So, did you get caught in the rain or something?"
>Go back about our business. The gap hag will follow us if she cares to converse.

> "Oh please.  Do you really think I of all people would get caught in the rain?"  Yukari's voice follows you as you set up the futon, but you can't see her in the gloom.
> "I just wanted to see how the shrine was faring in all this rain," she says.  "With all it's been through I figured the roof would either cave in or start leaking."
> The mini-Suikas trample past you, making it hard to move around.  They all seem to be congregating back in the living room.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Let the swarm go past.
>"Well, to be honest, I'm surprised your rheumatism can handle it. Though you wouldn't be caught off guard by a storm like this, at least. The roof's doing just fine."
>Probably.
>"And I guess you'll want some tea?"
