> Head down the path we determined to get to the museum.

>You make your way down the street, Alice following behind. Compared to what you dealt with in Apex, or even the market further to the west, the traffic here is practically non-existant. You do draw some looks from people dressed like porters and servants, or rather Alice's current payload draws some looks.
>Drawing close to the huge stone building, you can see that each of the star's 'points' has a door; currently hanging open. A broad pavilion surrounds the museum, marked with benches and grassy lawns with tables set into the ground. Some people are lingering about, resting and talking; you note among them are pair of what seem to be oni are sharing a bottle and laughing loudly. There are a few signs set up by the each of the doors.

>Going to the signs, you see that they welcome you to the Ryuuzaki Museum of Subnatural History, generously funded by the Koyoshi Branch Family. It informs you the exhibits are not to be touched, horseplay and danmaku are strictly forbidden. You are asked not to bring in food or drink. Please keep your voice down. Museum hours are Lunch til Sunset.

>You leave the entrance and approach and go to see one of the plaques. It is set into the pavilion, with an unoccupied stone bench near it. It reads, "Here Yana Case defeated Mitama Tsugumasa; 22 Midwinter, Keio 783". Etched into it are two figures in dresses in a danmaku battle.

>From this angle, you can see there is a long fountain set in front of the museum, water flows gently from a long pipe along the middle of the fountain, sending dozens of jets of water a couple feet into the air before they land quietly int he pool. You note the outlines of a couple fish in it.

We could try patting her face, but I'm not sure how much we really want her to wake up. Think she's just gonna walk along with us all hunky-dory whilst we go about our day?
