> " The kidnappings being side-effects,very limited to only 2 beings with affinity to that place like me and Stargazer with their differences , of that Unseen Clergy probing and making pokes at Gensokyo to gain entrance or exert infuence ".


> After answer :"Ah,now that Stargazer is again mentioned, I am remembering more clearly more details about the form she manifed while in Gensokyo and examining them could  help us in correctly Identifying in what ways she is Familiar to Gensokyo,right?"

>Stargazed appeared in Gensokyo to I and Tojiko,not as a huge man o' war,but in the somehow familiar shape of a greenish silhouette of a long-haired, mature-looking woman with reddish wisps for eyes, but no other internal features. Her har long, reaching down to her legs,2 long horns extending from her temples. A long bushy and quite big tail protruding from her back, green as well as nearly all of her being.

>You know her reasonably well. Though she also is probably more strongly aligned with the Taoists these days, she has never been any kind of problem for you all.

>You suspect it isn't widely known unless someone at the temple went and blabbed it to everyone. Which feels unlikely.

// As pointed out by Patchouli before when more "subjects" were discussed,we should "narrow it down and pinpoint " for 1 visit ,then eventually come back with and for more insights for broader researches ; since we seem unable to do "any further narrow down and pinpoint "before-research we are going to do it during-research we cannot select any further and the research is to.//


> Thoughtful : " Well ,with your permission ,we would like to research ,with some help from Petit, among those half of shelf worth of books until we have made breakthroughs  about in fact narrowing down and pinpointing at least some reports,details,links related with our Unseen Clergy and its kind of "Ocean Dimension Displacements", thE Major Duration&Results of the Research are hinging on those elements  ".

// Indeed it would take too much time ... and words ...and fairly important hints could come too late ,similar state about coming back&forth&stops to Keine's in Human Village or Mokou's Cabin in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost or in transit between the  2...//


// So we 2 ( I and "Thata no Guykoro" ,so far ) are still thinking more or less back&forth,without personally stalling due to my" over-writing " or in any case reply-delaying (by Players)t oo much on purpose or being tfor " Golden Standards research terms "",since it is rightly too broad even with "some Good Selection done "....otherwise+time&words consuming,and :)fully open for help or suggestions or what-good-have-you.//

[Hello Purvis]

> " Perphaps reports where both mysterious disappearance,kidnappings,displacement and other-dimensional activities are present would help in improving the Selection?"

> Chuckle a bit but then return serious :" Yes,being on the Spiritual...Spectrum helps a lot both myself and Stargazer to be more guarded up against that,though there likely are more dangers than end up being a corpse, especially if the Unseen Clergy are involved , and those characteristcs signify an affinity&discovery of sorts as well..."


> " Well,for that to help let the Selection Sail, a better call would be : books and/or reports having in common all the elements about mysterious kidnappings,disappearances,displacements with  the involvement of both spiritual entities ,a subtly active other-dimensional activity and an Unseen Clergy ?".

>Patchouli nods, writing a couple more notes.
>"What is most curious," Patchouli says, "Is not that you vanished. But rather, that you came back at all. Thinking on it, I can't recall a single instance of such a thing happening before in these kinds of cases."
