> "Thank you!" Follow the ghost to the back of the house. Be sure to take off our shoes at the entryway, though!

> WHAT?!
> You follow the ghost to the back of the house.  When you reach the porch, you and Kogasa take of your shoes and continue on.
> Behind the house, there's another grove of cherry trees, although their petals are white like snow.  The stream you saw earlier continues running through here, branching off into small ponds.
> You see at the far end of the yard someone painting at an easel.

> _

[Sect]

> Go get it, you derp
> Have we ever seen cherry trees with white blossoms?
> Walk up to the person painting, and glance over her shoulder curiously. "Excuse me...?"
> Oh, wait, they're in the yard, huh? Darn, we JUST took off our shoes! Call out to them. "Excuse me...?"

> Best timing EVER.
> In the Outside World, if you recall correctly.
> You almost walk up to the person painting, but she's in the yard...!  You call out to her instead.
> The woman looks away from the easel.  Her hair and eyes are pink, and she is dressed in a blue kimono and a puffy blue hat.
> "Oh...?  How did living beings make it into Hakugyokurou, I wonder?"

> _

[Sect]

> "We flew, and some of the ghosts were nice enough to let us in."
> Bow. "I'm Kochiya Sanae of the Moriya Shrine, and this is my girlfriend, Tatara Kogasa. We're looking for a... uh... Saigyouji Yuyuko? Are you her?"

[Yonowaaru]

Sanae meets Yuyuko in that game

> "We flew, and some of the ghosts were nice enough to let us in."
> Bow. "I'm Kochiya Sanae of the Moriya Shrine, and this is my girlfriend, Tatara Kogasa. We're looking for a... uh... Saigyouji Yuyuko? Are you her?"

> "Oh."
> You introduce yourselves, and ask the woman if she's Yuyuko.
> The woman sets down her palette and paintbrush, and floats off the stool.  She floats across the yard a little, then stops.
> "Yes, I am."  Yuyuko bows in greeting.

>Get conflicted by the paradox because (Touhou 13 spoilers)

Spoiler:

Sanae meets Yuyuko in that game

> Yuyuko seems kind of familiar...

> _

[Sect]

> "Wow, so you're really the ruler of the Netherworld? I've never really gotten the chance to meet you: I only found out that we could actually get here today, from Reimu Hakurei!"
> "Hm... actually... have we met before?"

[Whatthe]

> Get hit by a time ripple

What Sect said.

[Sect]

Actually, it might be fun, but to keep things simple, I would just ignore 10D for now. We can do the time warp later (or have a Quest based around said time warp :3)

[日巫子]

> "Wow, so you're really the ruler of the Netherworld? I've never really gotten the chance to meet you: I only found out that we could actually get here today, from Reimu Hakurei!"
> "Hm... actually... have we met before?"

> Yuyuko giggles.  "It seems that I'm more well-known than I thought."
> You ask if you've ever met before.
> "No, I believe this is the first time we've met.  What brings you here?"

> Get hit by a time ripple

> Shhh.

> _

[Sect]

> "Ah, yes. You see, a lot of ghosts appeared in the oni city, and we found a ghost herder down there as well. Konpaku Youmu, I believe? Anyways, she wasn't doing too well, because her heartbeat was stolen by, um, herself, I guess, so we took her to the hospital."
> Wave our hands in front of us. "Oh, she's fine, now! Satsuki fixed her up real nice! But there's still a bunch of ghosts on vacation down there, and we thought that, um, you should know. Also, they were led there by two girls, one with brown braids, and one who looks like Yakumo Yukari. Not that I know what she looks like, that's just what I was told."

> Yuyuko smiles weakly.  "So that's where they all went...I've been worried sick about Youmu."
> At the mention of the two girls, Yuyuko blinks in surprise.  "Braids?  That sounds like a ghost that was staying here, although I'll have to ask Yukari about the other one..."

> _

[Sect]

> Frown sympathetically. "Well, Youmu should be right as rain by tomorrow! The doctor told me so!"

[日巫子]

> Frown sympathetically. "Well, Youmu should be right as rain by tomorrow! The doctor told me so!"

> "Would you be able to bring her back, then?"

> _

[Sect]

> "Sure! That'll be no problem at all!"
> "So, you said that there was a ghost with brown braids...?" Imagine one of those marshmellows with brown braids.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Uhm... do you know why the ghosts went all the way underground?"

[日巫子]

> "Sure! That'll be no problem at all!"
> "So, you said that there was a ghost with brown braids...?" Imagine one of those marshmellows with brown braids.

> "Thank you."
> "Yes.  She looks like someone from the Outside World, so it shouldn't be too hard to pick her out."
> You imagine one of the marshmellow ghosts with braids...yesss.

>"Uhm... do you know why the ghosts went all the way underground?"

> Yuyuko shakes her head.

> _

[Sect]

> Sit down on the porch.
> "So, you run the Netherworld, huh? How's that like? Run into any problems with Ghostbusters?"

[日巫子]

> Sit down on the porch.
> "So, you run the Netherworld, huh? How's that like? Run into any problems with Ghostbusters?"

> You and Kogasa sit down on the porch.
> "That's right.  I take care of ghosts waiting to be judged, and sometimes there are ghosts that stay here permanently."  Yuyuko tilts her head, confused.  "What are these 'Ghostbusters' you speak of?"

> _

[Sect]

> "Oh, they just bust ghosts. Nothing to worry about, they only stay in New York."
> Lean against Kogasa. "So, how do you know Reimu? She knew an awful lot about you and Youmu."

[日巫子]

> "Oh, they just bust ghosts. Nothing to worry about, they only stay in New York."
> Lean against Kogasa. "So, how do you know Reimu? She knew an awful lot about you and Youmu."

> "Ah..."  She doesn't look like she gets it.
> You lean against Kogasa and ask how Yuyuko knows Reimu.
> "Oh, she came here years ago during an incident."  Yuyuko giggles, as if remembering something funny.

> _

[Sect]

> Perk up. "An incident? What happened?"

[日巫子]

> Perk up. "An incident? What happened?"

> Incident!
> "I wanted to make this huge cherry blossom here bloom, so Youmu and I stole spring.  It turned out to be in the worst interests for all of us, after all."

> _

[Sect]

> "Stole... spring...? Is that even possible? So what happened?"

[日巫子]

> "Stole... spring...? Is that even possible? So what happened?"

> "Well, when we stole spring, the Saigyou Ayakashi--that's the giant tree--started to bloom, but then Reimu came to put a stop to that.  Gensokyo was withering away because winter was lasting too long."

> _

[Sect]

> "Ooh... yeah, that doesn't sound good at all..." Take off our portion of Kogasa's scarf and slide down to rest our head in Kogasa's lap.
> "Still, I'll bet that tree would look awfully pretty if it was in full bloom... what did it look like when it was blossoming?"

[日巫子]

> "Ooh... yeah, that doesn't sound good at all..." Take off our portion of Kogasa's scarf and slide down to rest our head in Kogasa's lap.
> "Still, I'll bet that tree would look awfully pretty if it was in full bloom... what did it look like when it was blossoming?"

> You take off your portion of the scarf and slide your head into Kogasa's lap.  She smoothes out your hair as you ask what the tree was like in full bloom.
> Yuyuko turns to face the Saigyou Ayakashi.  "It was the very picture of beauty."

> _

[Sect]

> Try to imagine that.
> "So, what happened afterwards? I'm guessing tea time with Reimu, right?"

[日巫子]

> Try to imagine that.
> "So, what happened afterwards? I'm guessing tea time with Reimu, right?"

> You have a bit of a tough time trying to imagine the entire tree in bloom, but it sounds pretty enough.
> "Exactly."
