> "You look like a mess. Now hold still or wipe those tears away."

[日巫子]

> "You look like a mess. Now hold still or wipe those tears away."

> "Urgh, fine."  Sanae lets her arms fall to her sides and squeezes her eyes shut.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Clean dat face off.
>"So, do you know where the Taoists stay at these days?"

[日巫子]

>Clean dat face off.
>"So, do you know where the Taoists stay at these days?"

> You use your sleeves to wipe the blood and tears off Sanae's face.  She looks more presentable now.
> "No.  Why would I?"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Why wouldn't you? Anyways, we need to drop off their zombie too, at some point."

[Sect]

> Did they say Seiga was spotted in these mountains?
> "Why'd you come over here, anyways? Nothing's here."

[日巫子]

>"Why wouldn't you? Anyways, we need to drop off their zombie too, at some point."

> Sanae shrugs and looks down.

> Did they say Seiga was spotted in these mountains?
> "Why'd you come over here, anyways? Nothing's here."

> You think it was a ghost that was spotted here.
> "Well, duh," Sanae says with a sigh.

[O4rfish]

>"Now, are you ready to make this world a better place by dealing out some punishment?"

[日巫子]

>"Now, are you ready to make this world a better place by dealing out some punishment?"

> Sanae nods, albeit unenthusiastically.  "I guess."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Okay. So...uh, what kind of things are around here, anyways? I've never actually been out this way?"

[日巫子]

>"Okay. So...uh, what kind of things are around here, anyways? I've never actually been out this way?"

> Sanae shrugs.  "A lake."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Think I heard a rumor that that one ghost with the Taoists was around here a little while ago... Wanna check it out?"

[日巫子]

>"Think I heard a rumor that that one ghost with the Taoists was around here a little while ago... Wanna check it out?"

> Sanae nods.  "Okay."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Look around. What are Nazrin and Yoshika up to?

[日巫子]

>Look around. What are Nazrin and Yoshika up to?

> You look out from behind the rock.
> It seems more people have gathered in the pool.  The greyish white lump you saw earlier appears to have been a waterlogged girl with white hair, who is currently pouring water from her hat.  Nazrin is standing a few feet away, arms crossed and her dowsing rods in one hand.  A young woman is standing next to white-haired girl, wringing water from her skirt and wearing her headphones around her neck.  Yoshika is currently being hugged by a blue-haired woman wearing blue and...that's a lot of blue.  From here, you can see that the ofuda on Yoshika's forehead is not your own.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh hey, that solved itself."
>Shout: "Hey! Keep a better eye on your zombie next time, or I'll just bury her!"

[日巫子]

>"Oh hey, that solved itself."
>Shout: "Hey! Keep a better eye on your zombie next time, or I'll just bury her!"

> You don't really have to do much work now, do you.
> Quest Completed: Find Seiga
   > You've discovered Yoshika floating around in the water missing a hat and an operational ofuda.  Better get Seiga to go collect her.
        > Somehow, you've found Seiga.  Or rather, she found Yoshika.  Either way, you won't have to worry about them anymore.
> Seiga looks up from Yoshika and looks over at you.
> "At least you wouldn't be trying to steal her, now would you?" she calls in a cheerful voice.

> _

[Sect]

> "Hey, lost and found. It's a lot better than her trying to eat a ship. Where were you, anyways? We found her floating face down near the village."

[日巫子]

> "Hey, lost and found. It's a lot better than her trying to eat a ship. Where were you, anyways? We found her floating face down near the village."

> "Oh, we were trapped at home," Seiga says.  She starts to approach you, perhaps so she won't have to yell at you from across the clearing.  "It took me ages to get us out."

> _

[Sect]

> Approach as well. "Yeah, so I guess that means you don't have insight either, huh."
> Geez, so many leads, er, drying up. We might either have to take a chance and hop into the broken sky or figure out where those dumb fringed orchids are.

[日巫子]

> Approach as well. "Yeah, so I guess that means you don't have insight either, huh."
> Geez, so many leads, er, drying up. We might either have to take a chance and hop into the broken sky or figure out where those dumb fringed orchids are.

> The two of you meet up in the middle of the pool.  Amusingly, Seiga is carrying Yoshika under one arm.
> "Not a clue," Seiga says with a shrug.  "I was so sure all that water was another attempt to drown me out."
> You were so sure the Taoists would be able to help you, but they seem just as clueless as everyone else.
> Seiga waves to Sanae, who is standing behind you.  "Hello!"
> Sanae waves back with the enthusiasm of a dead snail.

> _

[Sect]

> "Not everything's about you." Arrogant hermit. "So, know anything 'bout that?" Point up at the sky.

[日巫子]

> "Not everything's about you." Arrogant hermit. "So, know anything 'bout that?" Point up at the sky.

> Seiga just smiles at you and says, "I don't know anything."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Look to the other Taoists
>"What about you lot?"

[日巫子]

>Look to the other Taoists
>"What about you lot?"

> You look to the others, and they just shake their heads at you.

[Sect]

So. Press Sanae more on the dream world and Kikuri, now that we have a reason to after she whooped our ass cheated? Anything we need to do with the Maus?

[Hello Purvis]

We can always find things for her to dowse, but I don't think she'd be up for it. We could probably let her go.

Is Tojiko here? She was out and about earlier and may know something.

[Sect]

For a moment I thought the grey lump was Tojiko, but I don't know why because that's obviously Futo. Let's see where that ghost is.

[Hello Purvis]

>Is that ghost around here?

[日巫子]

>Is that ghost around here?

> You look around for the ghost, but don't immediately see her.  If she's around here, she's hiding.
