Reimu Quest (Part 2)

[日巫子]

>Let's close this door, and head into the left sidehall, then hit the first door there.

> You leave the bathroom and go into the second hallway.  The first door, much like the door to the bathroom, gives no resistance as you open it.  Inside, spoiled food is floating placidly in the water.  The only things that have been spared are the sealed jars sitting on the shelves.  This must be Alice's food storage.

>Consider using food as fish bait.
>Are there any hiding places for a large fish in here?

[Hello Purvis]

>Or any sealife inside?

[日巫子]

>Consider using food as fish bait.
>Are there any hiding places for a large fish in here?

> Ew no, it's so gross!
> Maybe if a large fish squeezed itself under the shelves, it could be in here.

>Or any sealife inside?

> There are no fish, perhaps because the door has been sealed.  It won't be long before they start gathering, though.

[Hello Purvis]

>Toss a couple of bright danmaku near the bottoms of the shelves, or under them if we can manage. See if it chases anything out. Also the extra light should help.

> You throw some bright ones at the shelves, and it brings detail to the food that you never wanted to see.  However, you do find out that it is empty underneath the shelves.

[O4rfish]

Didn't she say there was a large something outside her house? Why are we looking inside her house?

[Hello Purvis]

It read like inside to me, given she was seeing it through the windows. That plus the broken dolls inside suggest the problem is indeed in the house.

>Close door, move to the next door, open.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

It was explicitly stated that the creature we're looking for is inside the house, not outside.

[日巫子]

>Close door, move to the next door, open.

> You shut the door, preventing any fish from getting the food, and go over to the next door.  When you open it, you find a tiny closet of mops, brooms, buckets and rags, and so on.  Even you might have trouble fitting in here.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Close door; head for the right side of the hall and check the first door there.

[日巫子]

>Close door; head for the right side of the hall and check the first door there.

> This room won't help.
> You go to the ride end of the hall and open the first door.  It appears to be a bedroom with all the basics: a bed, nightstand table, armoire, rug, chairs, and so forth.  The drawers of the armoire have practically been torn out, and the nightstand is on its side.
> It looks too impersonal to be Alice's room.

> _

[O4rfish]

>Next room.

[Hello Purvis]

>Before we do this, let's toss a couple danmaku around and see if the extra light shows anything new or chases out anything.

[日巫子]

>Next room.

>Before we do this, let's toss a couple danmaku around and see if the extra light shows anything new or chases out anything.

> Before you move on, you shoot some danmaku down the hallway.  Nothing comes out, but the action reveals something glinting on the floor.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's have a closer look at that glint.

[日巫子]

>Let's have a closer look at that glint.

> You swim down to the floor.  The danmaku lingers long enough for you to see that it's a small piece of jade, decorated with a gold shell and sporting a tiny ring on top.  You wouldn't be able to fit this on your finger.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Does it look like it was dropped, or perhaps washed into here?
>Nab it and examine it closer.

[日巫子]

>Does it look like it was dropped, or perhaps washed into here?
>Nab it and examine it closer.

> It looks like someone dropped it.
> You pick it up and look closer.  One side of the gem is round and smooth, but the other side is completely flat.  It's about the size of your thumbnail.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Does this seem like an earring? If so, does it seem familiar at all?

[O4rfish]

>Could it be a doll-sized object?

[日巫子]

>Does this seem like an earring? If so, does it seem familiar at all?

> It looks more like part of a necklace.  You don't recognize this style.

>Could it be a doll-sized object?

> In proportion to the doll, no.  It'd be too big.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep it in hand, close the door here, and move on to the next room at the end of the hall.

[日巫子]

>Keep it in hand, close the door here, and move on to the next room at the end of the hall.

> Obtained: x1 Jade Gem
     > Found on the floor of Alice's house.  Most likely part of some larger piece of jewelry.
> You go to the next door.  Upon opening it, you find that it is a mirror of the room you were just in.  The only difference is that most of the furniture has been smashed apart.  At least, that's how it looks to you.

> _

[O4rfish]

>"Hello? Anyone in here?"

[日巫子]

>"Hello? Anyone in here?"

> You call out, and nobody answers.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Assess the nature of the damage, and try to figure out what kind of thing caused this.
>Do there seem to be any fish, or particular hiding places in here?

[日巫子]

>Assess the nature of the damage, and try to figure out what kind of thing caused this.
>Do there seem to be any fish, or particular hiding places in here?

> You take a look at the damaged furniture.  The smashed-up state of the heftier wood--the armoire, in particular--is identical to the condition of plant-rocks you saw in the kitchen windows. 
> You don't see any fish in here.  The only good hiding place you see is the bed, which got away relatively unscathed.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Frown, close door, and go to the nearest one we've not opened in the main hallway.

[日巫子]

>Frown, close door, and go to the nearest one we've not opened in the main hallway.

> Yet again, nothing.
> You go back to the main hallway.  There are two doors you haven't opened yet in the main hallway, both on the wall opposite of the bathroom door.  The one on the left is just an ordinary wooden door, while the one on the right is slightly bigger.
