Reimu Quest

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Drop Yoshika on the boat. Any clue if she'll wake up soon?

>"Anything else need done around here? I need to go check up on the underground."

[日巫子]

>Drop Yoshika on the boat. Any clue if she'll wake up soon?

>"Anything else need done around here? I need to go check up on the underground."

> You land on the boat and drop Yoshika unceremoniously to the ground.  This gets you quite a few stares from the many people on the deck.  Mokou climbs up the side of the ship and lands on deck shortly after, and immediately starts wringing out her hair over the side of the ship.  A few people approach her, most notably a distraught-looking older woman, but she just gestures to Yoshika on the ground. 
> The vast majority here is human, but you do see some of Myouren's youkai on the other side of the deck, too.  The hooded one--accompanied by her cloud companion as usual--is wearing a modest one piece swimsuit and talking earnestly to the ghost girl you identify as Murasa.  She's leaning on the deck resting her head on her arms.  A short girl with mouse ears emerges from below the deck--Nazrin, you think--holding her dowsing rods like swords, but when she sees Yoshika, she stops dead in her tracks.
> "You just went ahead without me, huh?" she scowls.  Mokou flips her hair over her shoulder.
> "Yeah.  You don't have to get wet now."  Nazrin does a fist-pump and runs off to join the other Myouren youkai.
> Then she turns to you.  "Keine probably wants to talk to you."

>"Keine? Where is she?"

[日巫子]

>"Keine? Where is she?"

> "The bow...I think."  Mokou shrugs and kneels down next to Yoshika.  The people who approached her earlier have since left her alone.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Go talk to the werecow.

>Do a quick headcount. Roughly how many people in the human village are unaccounted for?

[Sect]

> Sternly bow to where Sanae made a star in the boards when the ship refused to return to port.
> Toss a thanks at Mokou before tracking down the teacher.

> Toss a thanks at Mokou before tracking down the teacher.

> You thank Mokou, who gives you a short wave, and head off to the bow.
> Bless our viridian angel and messiah, may her sacrifice never be in vain.
> You do a headcount and find roughly 50 people up on deck, minus the youkai.  The odds of there being people below deck are all but certain, so there's no telling how many people have gone missing, or worse.
> You run into Keine on the stairs of the bow, where she is sitting with her head on her knees and her glorious hat sitting next to her.
> Keine looks up, and for a moment she looks absolutely defeated, but when she sees that it's you, she practically leaps to her feet.
> "Reimu!  Where's Akyuu?!"  For all it's worth, she looks like she's ready to go full hakutaku on the spot.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Suika brought her up to the shrine last night, nothing to worry about there. How are things here?"

[Sect]

> "Don't have a cow, man."

[日巫子]

>"Suika brought her up to the shrine last night, nothing to worry about there. How are things here?"

> Keine sinks back onto the stairs, heaving a sigh of relief.  "Oh, thank god..."
> "We're trying to take control of the situation.  Last night was absolute hell, so our current situation is an improvement.  I don't know if you would have wanted to be there."
> She rubs her temples.

> "Don't have a cow, man."

> Keine headbutts you for the awful pun.

> _

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Are there any other villagers still missing? And have you heard anything about how the rest of Gensokyo is holding up?"

[日巫子]

>"Are there any other villagers still missing? And have you heard anything about how the rest of Gensokyo is holding up?"

> "Yes and no.  We've only just started searching for people."

> _

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"On a scale of bad to catastrophic, what are we looking at? Any way I can help out?"

[日巫子]

>"On a scale of bad to catastrophic, what are we looking at? Any way I can help out?"

> "The latter, considering what we have to look forward to.  We won't be able to return to the village until the water is gone, and, well...there aren't very many guaranteed safe spots for humans here, so if you come across somewhere to dock and set up camp, I'd be in your debt.  Myouren won't be able to support all of us forever."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Ponder our geography, given what we've seen of the flooding, does it look like there is any easy place for them to dock?
>"Bet Murasa's about as happy as can be, though."

[日巫子]

>Ponder our geography, given what we've seen of the flooding, does it look like there is any easy place for them to dock?
>"Bet Murasa's about as happy as can be, though."

> You'd have to find somewhere with little cover for opportunistic youkai to hide in, but obviously high enough to be untouched by the water.
> "Oh, she sure is," Keine says.  "She keeps saying how much it reminds her of the ocean."

> _

[O4rfish]

>"Oh and your daughter Tokiko and your husband Rinnosuke are doing fine."

[日巫子]

>"Oh and your daughter Tokiko and your husband Rinnosuke are doing fine."

> "Oh, really?  That's good."  Keine smiles.  "Their rickety little shop looks like anything could knock it over, you know."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"They are about ankle deep, though. So, want me to hang around and help look for people?"

[日巫子]

>"They are about ankle deep, though. So, want me to hang around and help look for people?"

> "I think we have enough hands right now.  What I do want you to do though," Keine says, "is to find out what's causing this."

> _

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Don't worry, that was the plan."

>Check out the state of the underground. If we can afford to leave it for a while we can get more in the way of preparations, but Satori might need our help real fast :<

[Hello Purvis]

>See if we can scout out a good place for the Palaquin Ship to moor on the way.

[日巫子]

>"Don't worry, that was the plan."

>Check out the state of the underground. If we can afford to leave it for a while we can get more in the way of preparations, but Satori might need our help real fast :<

> "I leave that up to you, then."
> You start to get increasingly worried about the Underground, and consider checking it out next.  However, you won't know how everyone down there is doing while you're on this boat.

>See if we can scout out a good place for the Palaquin Ship to moor on the way.

> You start to fly off towards the ship with the intent of going to the Underground and looking for a docking area, but Mokou interrupts you with her shouting.
> "Hey, red-white!  D'you have a spare ofuda?"

> _

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Yeah, what for? Does Yoshika need a replacement?"

[日巫子]

>"Yeah, what for? Does Yoshika need a replacement?"

> "Yeah!"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Just give her some last rites and bury her like she should have been, geez."

[FinnKaenbyou]

>How simple is the process of replacing the ofuda on a jiang shi? If it's anything more complex than 'remove old, insert new' it's probably a good idea to go down there and do it ourselves.

>...Actually, CAN we do it ourselves? I'm assuming the whole Jiang-Shi thing is a Taoist ritual, and well outside of our experience. And does helping to re-revive the dead go against our shrine-maiden duties?

[O4rfish]

>Speaking of which, we might want to get that swemsuit before we go underground.
>Also speaking of which, how much do we know about Taoism, given our yinyangness?

[日巫子]

>"Just give her some last rites and bury her like she should have been, geez."

> Mokou makes a face like she's stepped in something gross.  "I'm gonna be doing enough of that anyway."

>How simple is the process of replacing the ofuda on a jiang shi? If it's anything more complex than 'remove old, insert new' it's probably a good idea to go down there and do it ourselves.

>...Actually, CAN we do it ourselves? I'm assuming the whole Jiang-Shi thing is a Taoist ritual, and well outside of our experience. And does helping to re-revive the dead go against our shrine-maiden duties?

> You've seen Yoshika's ofuda before, when it was whole, and there were some pretty complicated runes written on there.  That's outside your field of knowledge, unfortunately, and most likely the work of necromancy.
> You've never read anything explicitly stating that it's forbidden to revive the dead, but from your experience, leaving them unsupervised is generally a bad idea.

?Taoist
?the person with a yin-yang on her chest
>Speaking of which, we might want to get that swemsuit before we go underground.
>Also speaking of which, how much do we know about Taoism, given our yinyangness?

> Your ultimate weapon is a yin-yang orb.  There's no point even trying to argue about that.
> You make a note to stop by Kourindou again and see how the swimsuit is coming along.
> You know the basics of Taoism.  Enough to get a smile out of that Mononobe girl, at least.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Uh...I don't think I know enough about necromancy to replace it properly. Should I look out for her master, though?"
