Smile a bit!
I bet the orb is really powerful if it does that to just hold it!
Try to wrap the cloth around it with out touching it.
I have...a terrible need...shall I say the word?...of religion. Then I go out at night and paint the stars.

A bucket..we need a bucket. Maybe Rumia or kuyoshi have seen one?
Go back up, the orb shouldn't be going anywhere.
"Rumia? You still here?"

"Rumia? You still here?"

> You should probably find a container to put this in.
> You head back up the stairs and call out for Rumia, and are almost shocked at how strained your voice sounds.
> Rumia and Kouyoshi are still at the top of the stairs, along with a small crowd of faeries.  Rumia crawls over from where she's sitting, grinning from ear to ear.
> "Did you find any preserved food down there?"

>Add Quest: find wild Kisume for storage needs.
>"I found something, like, really hot!"
>Show them the 'proof' with one of our hands.
>Do we think it'd be safe to stash the orb now? When it's wrapped up?

> error: kisume.jpg cannot be found in this server
> "Something hot?  Like, like cooked meat--" Rumia starts to say, but she cuts herself off when you hold up your hands.  More than a few faeries squawk in disgust, and you think you hear one of them say "I'm gonna be sick!".  Kouyoshi looks horrified.
> It didn't seem to be burning anything else, so long as your skin doesn't touch it.
> Kouyoshi nudges a faerie off her lap and scoots over next to Rumia.  She takes your arm, gingerly, and inspects your hand.
> "What happened to your hand?"

> You start to explain otherwise, but the reality of how much this actually hurts is setting in.  Now that you're out of the gloom, the extent of the burns are more clearly visible: the reddened skin, the ruptured, bleeding blisters.
> "You still have that first aid kit with you, right?" Kouyoshi asks.

> Wait for Kouyoshi to treat our hands.

> You wait patiently as Kouyoshi picks a roll of bandages out of the first aid kit, unravelling a good length of it before tearing it off.  Rumia and the faeries watch as she pulls the bucket over and takes your hands, dipping them into the water.
> It feels surprisingly cool, but it's not long before Kouyoshi takes them out again and starts wrapping the bandage around them.  The glow of the faeries' wings act almost as lamps in the darkness of the starry night sky, and soon enough, your hands are bandaged.  You still have full mobility of them, as Kouyoshi has bothered to go around your fingers rather than taping them all together.
