[Hello Purvis]

> "Another recently deity that should have recently pass."
> "As for why we were abducted, I do not know for sure. The entity was searching, and I assume it found us. Though it seemed surprised at my presence when I finally encountered it properly."

>"Searching for what?" says Maribel.
>"You said something about memories and desire, right?" Renko says. "Would that have anything to do with it?"

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Did we ever get the feeling that it was searching for something in particular other than love, worshipers, and stuff to destroy?

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we ever get the feeling that it was searching for something in particular other than love, worshipers, and stuff to destroy?

>You recall the word form coming up. Things to cling to... There might have been others, it's a little difficult to remember everything.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Who can say? It was not very keep on two-way communication before, and it certainly will not tell us anything now."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Who can say? It was not very keep on two-way communication before, and it certainly will not tell us anything now."

>"So, what was it doing?" says Maribel.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Reaching. Reaching as far as it could. It would have found its way here eventually, and if it did, no youkai would last very long."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Reaching. Reaching as far as it could. It would have found its way here eventually, and if it did, no youkai would last very long."

>"Reach for what?" says Reimu.
>"Hands," Maribel mutters, getting a curious look from Renko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> That would certainly explain the hands, wouldn't it?
> "Whatever it could get."

[Hello Purvis]

> That would certainly explain the hands, wouldn't it?
> "Whatever it could get."

>"The hands?" Reimu says.
>"You'd see them all over the place there," Maribel says. "Hands carved into walls, plants that looked like leafy hands, all kinds of things. Once we cut a root, and it bleed this kind of clear ooze that shaped into hands."
>"Huh," says Reimu. "Sounds unpleasant."
>"And you don't know why?" Renko asks. "Mmm. You said hundreds of memories were in that thing. Whose?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

Oh damnit, this is exactly the line of conversation I didn't want to go down.

> Did Reimu ever learn the truth of Gensokyo Isle?

[Hello Purvis]

> Did Reimu ever learn the truth of Gensokyo Isle?

>You're not sure. The topic hasn't come up.

>_

[O4rfish]

something like "a different version of us" or "Gensokyo residents who didn't live in Gensokyo"

[Kilgamayan]

Hmm. I suppose the second one kind of works. I'll also admit I don't think Yukari cares as much as I do.

> "People who were of Gensokyo, and yet not of Gensokyo."

[Mr. Sacchi]

I was thinking more along the lines of just saying they were fabricated, I mean, it wouldn't exactly be a lie either.

[Hello Purvis]

> "People who were of Gensokyo, and yet not of Gensokyo."

>"What." Reimu says flatly.

>_

[O4rfish]

>"Exactly!"

tee hee, oh that Yukari

[Hello Purvis]

>"Exactly!"

>"I'm starting to get mad," Reimu says, before having a sip of her tea.
>"I think that we could probably do a better job of figuring out what it was actually trying to do if we knew these details, to be honest," says Maribel.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"It was a conglomeration of false memories."

[Hello Purvis]

>"It was a conglomeration of false memories."

>"So like, things you think you remember but never really happened?" says Reimu.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Yes, I have a few of them swirling around in my head after my encounter with it. Things that I know never happened but that I can remember as if I was there."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes, I have a few of them swirling around in my head after my encounter with it. Things that I know never happened but that I can remember as if I was there."

>"So what was that "of Gensokyo but not of it" supposed to mean?" Reimu asks.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"The false memories had to do with the residents of Gensokyo, and I have some idea why. I plan to follow up on that at some point."
>"However I am fairly certain that I managed to destroy the being."
>"What is more immediately relevant is what happened to poor Maribel while she was stuck in that place."

>"However I am fairly certain that I managed to destroy the being."
>"What is more immediately relevant is what happened to poor Maribel while she was stuck in that place."

>"I guess that makes sense," says Reimu. "And I figured you would want to finish with dinner first. The way Maribel has been wolfing things down, I guessing you didn't get to eat much there."
>"Hey..." Maribel says.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Everyone here knows about it now so we aren't at risk of dinners ending up places they shouldn't, there's no harm in discussing it."
>"While in the strange place that we found ourself Mary slowly started becoming a youkai. She doesn't want to be a youkai so we plan to have Reimu reverse the process."
>"I assume there are no objections."

>"I assume there are no objections."

>"Yeah, it's got to be done," says Reimu.
>"Though it is a bit strange to see that you of all people are pushing for it," Renko says.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Oh no, I'd be all for Mary becoming a youkai, This is her decision though and she's already made it."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh no, I'd be all for Mary becoming a youkai, This is her decision though and she's already made it."

>"Hmph," Renko answers.
>"Regardless, that issue is settled," says Maribel.
>"I'll go get things ready, then," says Reimu. "Meet me by the pond in back when you've had your fill, Maribel."
>"Got it," says Maribel, as Reimu leaves and crosses the the others side of the shrine, disappearing behind a paper wall.

[Kilgamayan]

> What has Ran been up to this entire time?
> Finish off anything we have remaining on our plate.

[Hello Purvis]

> What has Ran been up to this entire time?
> Finish off anything we have remaining on our plate.

>Ran has been preparing a main course. She has been listening, though, you've noticed her ears twitch.
>You finish up your meal quickly enough.
