> Patchouli: Consider investing in HEARTTECH for additional EMPATHY.
Ugh no. Who on earth would buy into HEARTTECH? If you plant any new SKILL SAPLINGS at all, it'll only be to increase your health, not for trash like that.
> Patchouli: Check Skill Thicket.
Your SKILL THICKET contains exactly one SKILL TREE, the only one you'll ever need. You'll never run out of places to keep putting points here.
> Patchouli: Examine map.
Up until a few years ago, it was widely believed that making an accurate map of Gensokyo was not feasible due to the FLUCTUATING DIMENSIONS of several of its features. For instance, the VILLAGE OF MAYOHIGA can somehow be encountered ANYWHERE ON THE BORDER, although it does not surround the entirety of Gensokyo.
However, a major breakthrough was made when RAN YAKUMO discovered an algorithm for determining the width of the SANZU RIVER. This leads you to believe it should be perfectly possible to create an accurate map, as long as it provides sufficient notation.
Regardless, you are a magician, not a cartographer, so this project is little more than a curiousity.
The author cannot be assed to actually draw the map at this time. He may do so when it becomes relevant.
> Patchouli: Examine photos.
Dear old Great Granny Knowledge. Never did a finer witch walk this earth.
Whenever you look at this, you feel a little guilty for pursuing elemental magic instead of traditional witchcraft. Unfortunately, the growing magical energy needs of the 21st century can't be solved with eye of newt. Oh well, you'll learn how to turn somebody into a frog one of these days.
Here's a relatively recent one, from the day of the rocket launch. That was a fun project.
This is a picture of you and ELLEN "FLUFFYHEAD" AUREUS, taken at WITCHCON '04.
Ellen's a pretty interesting person. Tragically, her use of magic caused her memory to start eroding; although she doesn't age, she forgets huge chunks of her life every few years. To combat this, she decided to live a life experiencing as many new things as possible. She visits Gensokyo once every five to ten years or so, bringing with her all sorts of stories to tell. Unfortunately, you need to go out and find her whenever she arrives because she doesn't always remember who you are.
Your wedding photo. Long story.
> Patchouli: Rap.Sure, why not? You're feeling pretty active today. You just need a little drink to get yourself started.
You put on a generic beatbox track on your PHONOGRAPH, and proceed to DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT.
