> "Well, let's do some searching for your arm first."
> Head to the tavern

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, let's do some searching for your arm first."
> Head to the tavern

>Hina nods.
>You turn to the Tavern. It is empty now. Tenshi seems to be taking the time to clean things up a bit.

>_

[WHMZakeri]

>Now's a good time to discuss a lot of things.
>First, Ask Tenshi if she knows anything about Hina's Arm.

[Hello Purvis]

>Now's a good time to discuss a lot of things.
>First, Ask Tenshi if she knows anything about Hina's Arm.

>You decide it's time to get some answers.
>"Huh?" says Tenshi. She looks at Hina, and her eyebrows rise. "Wow! I've never seen a real cripple before!"
>With a bit of instance, she says, "Well, she had it when I closed up last night. She, Letty, Rumia, and that rabbit were having a big time last night, though. You got a really funny laugh, Hina did you know that?"
>"I...what?" Hina says.

[Kasu]

> "Aaaaaaaanyway, where else do you remember going again?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Aaaaaaaanyway, where else do you remember going again?"

>"Well," says Hina. "I know we walked around town a bit. Then we went to Youkai Mountain."

>_

[Kasu]

> Search around town.

[WHMZakeri]

> Search around town.

>I thought we resolved to get some answers.
>Tell Hina to Search around town, we'll meet at [specified entrance to town]
>After Hina Leaves, we ask Tenshi about what she knows of the UFO she found outside the Hakurei Shrine.

>Tell Hina to Search around town, we'll meet at [specified entrance to town]
>After Hina Leaves, we ask Tenshi about what she knows of the UFO she found outside the Hakurei Shrine.

>You tell Hina to go search. She nods, and agrees to meet you at the south entrance of town afterwards.
>"Well," Tenshi says, "It was in the woods by the shrine, a red one. When it saw me, it tried to get away. But I was too quick for it! Then Reimu took it, and they had a big argument at Byakuren's tent. Now they're all angry at each other, and it's causing so much trouble!"
>She doesn't seem especially dismayed at that prospect.

>_

[WHMZakeri]

>So it was moving when she found it...
>"Did it do anything before it spotted you? Where did it look like it was heading?"

[Hello Purvis]

>So it was moving when she found it...
>"Did it do anything before it spotted you? Where did it look like it was heading?"

>"It was just sorta floating there, being a UFO," says Tenshi. "I don't think it was going anywhere til I found it. Then it went west, toward town."

>_

[WHMZakeri]

>So it ran towards the town... That does implicate that it was someone here.
>Ask if she's heard anything interesting from the patrons about the UFO or the apparent war.

[Hello Purvis]

>So it ran towards the town... That does implicate that it was someone here.
>Ask if she's heard anything interesting from the patrons about the UFO or the apparent war.

>"Oh there's all kinds of stories about how the two are always getting into arguments and sometimes fights and stuff!" says Tenshi. "But if you're asking about one or the other doing something really sneaky or mean, I haven't heard about it. It's been mostly just shouting and brawls. But it's winter, so no one really minds. But I don't think anyone's said anything much about UFOs. I think I heard someone say they saw one flying past the north side of town a few weeks ago."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Where is Shou's store?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Where is Shou's store?"

>"Just to the north," says Tenshi. "Just a bit south of Byakuren's Tent. You can't miss it."

>_

[WHMZakeri]

>"Wait, past the north or to the north?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Past," says Tenshi. "You know, through that part of town. At least, I think that's what they said."

>_

[WHMZakeri]

>"Alright then..."
>Thank Tenshi for the information
>Head outside, inspect the north part of town.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Alright then..."
>Thank Tenshi for the information
>Head outside, inspect the north part of town.

>You thank Tenshi. "No problem!" she says as she returns to sweeping up.
>You leave the tavern, and note that Hina is poking around the alley in her search.
>Heading north, you come to a place with a number of houses. The snow is quite well churned up from people coming and going, though you don't note much in the way of activity right now. Winter is the time to stay indoors, after all. To the west, you see a house that seems to have been converted into a shop; a hand-painted over the door reads "Shou's Clothes." The road continues northward, and you can just get a glimpse of the field where the tent is from here. Obvious exits are North, South, and West.

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> Enter the store

[Hello Purvis]

> Enter the store

>You go West and enter Shou's Clothes.
>Entering the establishment, you are nearly overwhelmed by the decor. The walls are tiger striped. The floors are covered with tiger-striped rugs. There are tiger-striped wall-hangings, as well as wall-hangings with pictures of tigers. There is a tiger-striped border where the walls meet the orange ceiling. There are racks of clothing; which the clothing is mostly mundane, the racks are tiger-striped. In the back is a counter with a fuzzy tiger-striped clothe thrown over it, where Shou is resting. All of the tiger motifs make you swear that you can hear sitar music. Alas, there is none.
>"Oh, you're the rabbit who helped out Murasa earlier, aren't you? She told me all about it." says Shou. "Welcome, please look around as much as you want."

[Pesco]

> Gunwink

[Rin Kagamine]

> Ask for accessory recommendation for our outfit.

[Kilgamayan]

"This is going to sound really weird, but you haven't seen a loose arm around anywhere, have you?"

[Pesco]

"This is going to sound really weird, but you haven't seen a loose arm around anywhere, have you?"

> "And maybe you could give me a hand"

[Hello Purvis]

> Gunwink

>She seems too surprised by this gesture to laugh at you. This might be an improvement!

> Ask for accessory recommendation for our outfit.

>Shou looks you over critically. "You seem to have a pretty good look already," she says at length. "If I would add anything, it would be a handkerchief for your pocket. Or perhaps a scarf."

> "And maybe you could give me a hand"

>Shou looks a little confused at you blurting this out of nowhere. "What do you need a hand with?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wonder if the parser missed the other question.

[Hello Purvis]

> Wonder if the parser missed the other question.

>All entered commands are considered.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Ask about tiger-striped handkerchief.

[Hello Purvis]

> Ask about tiger-striped handkerchief.

>"I have a few of those, yes," says Shou. "And...well, I suppose I can let you have one as thanks for helping Murasa."
