Reimu Quest (Part 5)

> Do we remember fighting her before, or her shell?
> Actually, didn't she have a shell in the dream?

[O4rfish]

>"Aha! so if I collect enough pieces, I can seal you in!"

[日巫子]

> Do we remember fighting her before, or her shell?
> Actually, didn't she have a shell in the dream?

> You remember fighting her, but it was a very long time ago.  You were a child then.
> She did.

>"Aha! so if I collect enough pieces, I can seal you in!"

> "What?  No!" Kikuri shrills, or at least tries to: her voice is raspy.  "Why?"

> _

[Sect]

Oarfish, what the fuck.

> "It... sorry, that was a joke."
> Awkward silence.
> "Uh... so, uh, what happened to your moon? What're you doing outside of it, and why am I finding it all over the place?"

[O4rfish]

Seemed pretty obvious given Purvis's hatred for her.

[Hello Purvis]

You gotta be like Iku and read the atmosphere. Note that while we were being blatantly suspicious, we were constantly considering other ideas. And at this point, we haven't equated dream world crimes with real world ones.  And while we're being hard on her, for IC reasons, we're not really making threats, just calling out diversions from what we know and implying they're dishonesty.

> "It... sorry, that was a joke."
> Awkward silence.
> "Uh... so, uh, what happened to your moon? What're you doing outside of it, and why am I finding it all over the place?"

> An uncomfortable silence falls over the kitchen.  You try to push the conversation forward by asking Kikuri some more questions.
> "I broke out of it," Kikuri says.  "But...I honestly don't feel comfortable talking about that.  After I got out, I stopped having anything to do with it.  I'm just as clueless as you are."

[Sect]

> "So you don't know why it drained a vampire or why someone that was asleep for a long while had it? Considering they started appearing right after everything started drowning, it's awfully suspicious."

[日巫子]

> "So you don't know why it drained a vampire or why someone that was asleep for a long while had it? Considering they started appearing right after everything started drowning, it's awfully suspicious."

> "I haven't had contact with my moon for years," Kikuri says.  "I didn't even know it had left behind shards until my friend gave me a piece last week.  When I was sealed away, I used to be able to do things like change its size or opacity, but I can't manipulate it anymore."

> _

[Sect]

> "When did you get unsealed, anyways? I remember you being in that moon when I was a kid."
> Put the shard away.

[Hello Purvis]

>"What friend?"

[日巫子]

> "When did you get unsealed, anyways? I remember you being in that moon when I was a kid."
> Put the shard away.

> "Um...three or four years ago," Kikuri says.  "I remember you when you were a child.  Wow, that takes me back."
> You put the shard back in your inventory.

>"What friend?"

> "A rabbit youkai, from a surface hospital I work at," Kikuri says.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Did she say where she found it?"

[日巫子]

>"Did she say where she found it?"

> "In the woods, while she was taking a walk."

> _

[Sect]

> "And was she a tall purple rabbit, a short dark trickster rabbit, or some generic one?"

[日巫子]

> "And was she a tall purple rabbit, a short dark trickster rabbit, or some generic one?"

> "The first one."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hm. Interesting. And she found it a week ago?"

[O4rfish]

>"This is just a guess, but could there be more than one of you?"

[日巫子]

>"Hm. Interesting. And she found it a week ago?"

> "Yes."

>"This is just a guess, but could there be more than one of you?"

> "No.  Where did you get that idea?"  Kikuri lowers her glass.  "If there were more of me, you wouldn't just be guessing about it."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"You are a god, right? It is a thing you can do. And it'd pretty neatly explain why you'd be in two places at once."
>"Anyways, Konngara and I have combed over the place, and we haven't found anything unusual. Do you have idea how what happened happened?"

[日巫子]

>"You are a god, right? It is a thing you can do. And it'd pretty neatly explain why you'd be in two places at once."
>"Anyways, Konngara and I have combed over the place, and we haven't found anything unusual. Do you have idea how what happened happened?"

> "I don't know where you got that idea from, but I can't."
> You then ask Kikuri if she has any ideas.
> "I think it's you," Kikuri says.  "You feel a little off."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Go on."

[日巫子]

>"Go on."

> "It's like buttoning up a sweater, and realizing you forgot a button," Kikuri explains.  "But only after it's bothered you the entire day.  Or when you pet a cat's fur the wrong way.  I don't know why."

> _

[O4rfish]

>"Hmph. I wonder what Sanae was thinking."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmph. I wonder what Sanae was thinking."

>Let's not say this, Sanae isn't involved right now.
>Instead say, "That doesn't explain much, does it? How about you, Konngara, anything off?"

[日巫子]

>"Hmph. I wonder what Sanae was thinking."

>Let's not say this, Sanae isn't involved right now.
>Instead say, "That doesn't explain much, does it? How about you, Konngara, anything off?"

> You almost get Sanae involved, but it's probably best to leave her out of this.
> "I don't have that kind of intuition," Konngara says.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"You gonna have to be more clear, Kikuri."

[Sect]

> "What do you think made me 'off'? Nothing happened to me to do that."
> Right?

[日巫子]

>"You gonna have to be more clear, Kikuri."

> "What do you think made me 'off'? Nothing happened to me to do that."
> Right?

> "I mean your aura feels a little off.  Were you messing with something you shouldn't have?  Like a cursed item, or a vengeful spirit?"
> You hope nothing happened to you, at least...

> _

[Sect]

> "Other than the pieces of your egg? Can't think of anything, unless those incidents did something else."
> Was there anything unusual that happened to us during a past incident?
