Okay, I vote no for taking Sanae ourselves to get Suwako: we have enough to do as it is, Sanae seems like she wants to get Suwako as soon as possible while, for us, getting Eirin over to Reimu's probably a bit more urgent, and since they seem to know Utsuho and her people she can just get Utsuho or Rin as an escort.

> It's not new.  Before, the Hell of Blazing Fires was used to heat the place if it got too cold, but even that shrunk to a size that couldn't support the entire place.  The reactor did a good job of fixing that.

Wow Parsee is bipolar :V Then again, makes sense: she's a creature of emotion, after all.

> Silence.
> Sanae's jaw drops.  "Y-you can't just talk that way to--"
> "Quiet."
> Sanae stops herself as Yasaka holds her hand up again, but she still looks mad.
> "First off, for informing Sanae and I of Suwako's current location, you have our gratitude.  However, I cannot account for how difficult it may have been to reach the top of the mountain.  That would fall under whoever or whatever caused whatever plights you may have had.  Do not think for a second that I don't care about what happens in the Underground.  The reason I shut of the reactor was so the girl running it would be kept safely out of the way, uninvolved, and unable to interfere.  She is also still needed to keep the reactor going once I restart it.  If no one is running the reactor, then nothing will stop the Hell of Blazing Fires from freezing over.  And we cannot have that."
> Yasaka's voice sounds very dangerous.

Hmmm. Does rage or cowardice win out? Because there's some nice openings to exploit in that.

So, what do you think, Purv? Should we obey that little voice in our head that says "OH GOD PLEASE DON'T PISS HER OFF" and back off, or should we go full tilt and get our ass handed to us by a goddess of war?

You know what? The last few months have been stressful, a few of our only friends are in the hospital, Yuugi's been so busy with the aftermath of the earthquake and Konngara's disappearance that she hasn't been able to relax much, our bridge is in ruins, and these guys up here have had their heads so far up their asses that they've gotten less done in the last few months than we have on our own (plus Cirno, Mokou, and kinda Nazrin) in a single week, and they still can't get their shit in gear.

Fuck it. Turn on the hashihime juice full powa: it's fucking GO TIME.

I concur!

>"And you sure got a whole lot done, didn't you? You just messed up the underground, didn't even know who you were fighting until I came up here and told you, lost your other goddess, and in general didn't get shit done. While on the other hand, I've been helping put the bamboo forest back together, reuniting families, finding out what happened to the Red White, and in general making the world a better place while you've just been making it impossible to go anywhere. And who was it that asked you to tamper with the underground again? Maybe we should come up here and kick out your fires for a few months? Oh, and your welcome for helping out the surface since you can't do it!"
