>What do we know of the Oni who inhabit the Underworld?

Not much, really. They seem like pretty good folks who just want to have a good time, though they hardly ever came by the Palanquin Ship while it was underground. Any who did have since left your memories, given they never really did anything worth remembering.

Quote from: Namusour

>Or the other residents, for that matter.

Rin "Orin" Kaenbyou came to your temple an awful lot. You recall she works under somebody that most of Former Hell didn't like for some reason, though you can't quite recall the name or why nobody liked her. She had a friend everyone called Okuu, and you remember that Okuu was responsible for the geysers going off and has the god Yata-Garasu in her, which makes her immensely powerful. You were also a bit acquainted with the tsuchigumo Yamame Kurodani, but you can't really say you know her too well.

You also seem to recall somebody from Former Hell showing up at about the time Kokoro came to Gensokyo. Now if only you could remember her name, or what she looked like...

Stepping off the players box for a moment, does that last part mean you follow the 'everyone forgets Koishi' bit from Symposium?

You mean I actually followed canon without even knowing it? :O

Butyeah, I guess pretty much that, though I do like to think that Kokoro didn't forget who Koishi is (given the latter was the one who stole the old Mask of Hope and all)

Ah. Ah, well.

And, if you'll point out the nearest entrance to the Underworld, and give us some info on this Crow you want us to keep an eye out for, we'll be on our way." Dart our eyes over to Nue briefly, then add, "All of us."

"W-Well...you're out of kappa territory, at the least." Pointing toward the shack, she continues "This marks exactly halfway up the mountain; everything from here upward is tengu turf."

"Down at the bottom of the mountain there should be a cave near the kappa city. That should lead you down to the Underworld."

No, but going back down the mountain should be quite a bit faster than the climb up since someone suggested you climb on foot.

"Personally, I could care less. But the tengu in charge want her back, so bring her back up with you once you find her."

"Trust me, you'll know her when you see her."

You don't think it's dangerous enough to make her stay up here at the least. If you bring her, you remind yourself that you might have to keep a closer eye on her.

Quote from: Namusour

>Based on what we know of the Oni, do we judge it wise to bring someone as deceptive as Nue with us down there?

On the one hand, absolutely not. On the other, her powers have come in handy before...it's definitely a risk though, with how deceptive she is and how honest oni are by contrast.

"I'll do it!" Kyouko enthusiastically answers.

How this thread never leaves the first page I completely and utterly fail to comprehend. As with the last two times I've accidentally vanished and left this hanging for months on end, any staff are free to lock this if I'm overstepping any bounds and that I'm only still posting here because it's (somehow) still on the first page.

That's Kyouko for you.

Quote from: Namusour

>"All right then ladies, I suppose we'd best be off."

"This should be fun," Nue grinned.
"Let's GO!" Kyouko excitedly bellowed, loud enough to apparently force the nearby wolf tengu down to her knees and scare off a flock of birds nearby.

Quote from: Namusour

>Be off!

Kyouko and Nue in tow, you set off! The bottom of the mountain and its passage to the sprawling Underworld await!

You and your traveling partners had reached the bottom of the mountain, and just as promised, you'd found a large cave. A bit bigger than you expected, to be honest, but definitely befitting of a passage to an entire other world. It's surprisingly bright down here for a cave. By this point if you turned around, you probably wouldn't see the surface world anymore.

It's then that Nue tugs on your shoulder. "Is it just me, or did it just get really quiet in here a few seconds ago?"

This particular part of MotK has changed over the years. I remember when I first came here, games that were idle for less than a week had a tendency to fall off the front page. And this was when the Mafia threads were still stickied as well, and were treated as seperate from the rest of us games.
Now, since it's been a while...

No. You've been in Former Hell itself before, but seeing as your ship left and got up to the surface via geyser, this is actually your first time going to or from there the long way.

The DM of this game has informed me that he will no longer be available to run this game. An offer was extended to SourFang to run it instead, and while he is flattered by the opportunity, he is unfortunately too occupied with his own games to also run this one. Given this, I am closing this thread. Should the DM become available to once again run this game some day, it may be re-opened then.

Pesco: Go ahead and archive the thread as appropriate.
