> You know, maybe we're the best match if we're going to look for a partner. Either we should give that serious consideration or we should be working on just finding a friend.

[Hello Purvis]

>But is it brain science?
>And Reimu likes boys...I think?

>In fact, I'm sure that exact line was stated. By the parser even.

>Margatroid != Hakurei.

>Perhaps... Koakuma, or Ran? I went through the list and these are the ones who seemed the least ridiculous...

>You quickly realize this is going to be harder than it seems.

> Either way, we should at least try befriending her.
> Now where do we keep the heavy artillery, we've got befriending to do.

[Hello Purvis]

> Either way, we should at least try befriending her.
> Now where do we keep the heavy artillery, we've got befriending to do.

>You decide, at least, you can try to befriend her. It'll be mutually beneficial when dealing with Tewi, right?

>_

[Chaore]

> Yes. It will.
> We're going to need the sluttiest best outfit we have and a can of whippedcream a gift.
>Alternatively, less gutter mind and just get to befriending with heavy artillery.

[Hello Purvis]

> Yes. It will.
> We're going to need the sluttiest best outfit we have and a can of whippedcream a gift.
>Alternatively, less gutter mind and just get to befriending with heavy artillery.

>You pretty much have your best outfit on. As for gifts...well... you're carrying a significant amount of you interesting possessions right now.
>You do not possess any additional artillery.

> And Meiling still has Reimu's teacup. Right, I think we're done here.
> Dismiss ourselves from Marisa and Patchouli, assuming they have no further requests
> Return to Meiling, retrieve tea cup, thank her for repeatedly holding onto things for us

> Head back to the Hakurei Shrine

>You take your leave of the two magicians before they can level even more terrible duties upon you.
>Seeing yourself out to the front gate, you retrieve Reimu's Cup from Meiling and thank her for being an effective caddy. "Eh, I don't mind every so often," says Meiling. "That tea hit the spot, thanks a bunch!"
>You trek back to the Hakurei Shrine. Along the way, you note that Letty is no longer at the S-curve in the road. Footprints suggest she went deeper into the woods.
>You return to the Hakurei Shrine, and find Reimu is working on cleaning the snow from the walk again. "Hey, Reisen," she says, not really looking up from her work.

[Kuma]

> "Hey, we got back that cup"

> give back cup

> "Anything interesing happen while I was away?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hey, we got back that cup"

> give back cup

> "Anything interesing happen while I was away?"

>You do not actually say that,as you are not Remilia.
>You return the cup. "Thank you," says Reimu, as she accepts it. "I don't have that many, and I tend to have uninvited guests all the time."
>"Nothing interesting happened, and that's the way I like it."

> "I talked to Patchouli while I was out. She said she had nothing to do with the UFO toy. Marisa was there and didn't really say anything about it, so I presume she believed her. That's one lead down, at least, even though she was the less likely of the two in my opinion."
> "Patchy also offered the idea that one of Byakuren's followers did this on their own, in an blind-follower effort to help their leader. If this is true, I have a couple of ideas about who it might be, though it might take a bit of hunting to find them."

[Kuma]

> Ask Reimu is she's any good at makeing relationship based predictions. She Is the "Mystical Oriental Love Consultant" after all!

> If she is good with love-love stuff, say: "You know that Alice girl? Can you think of anyone who would be a good mach for her, freind wise?"

>She nods. "Yeah, I didn't really suspect Patchouli myself. Seems like too much effort for no real gain for her."
>She listens to this theory. "Maybe. I dunno, I get the feeling they wouldn't jump without Byakuren's word a lot of the time. But I'll admit, maybe Patchouli knows them better than I do."

>"Eh, not really," says Reimu. "But I'll do my best."
>"Wow, that's a mouthful," says Reimu. "You want to hook up Alice with someone? OKay. I'd suggest someone pretty smart for her. And a good conversationalist. Or take it in another direction and go totally off the wall, someone that'll surprise the hell out of her."

[Kuma]

> Form list: Potnetial matches for Alice
> Add to list: Someone smart who is not patchouli. Someone exciting who is not Marisa.

> Than THE REIMU and be on your way, Reisen, You have a pacage to deliver!

> Than THE REIMU and be on your way, Reisen, You have a pacage to deliver!

>You decide to compile a mental list of candidates for Alice.
>You thank Reimu. "You're welcome," she says, as she goes to put the cup away. "Just get to the bottom of this UFO thing."
>You are at the Hakurei shrine. The grounds are current covered in snow. The modest shrine looks rather attractive with its coat of snow and icicles, while the pond in the back is frozen over. Obvious exits are east and west.

> If we're going to secure Kanako's blessing, we may need to trade away the Snake Paperweight. And if we do so before running into Eirin again, it won't be pretty.
> Hina may be somewhere on Youkai Mountain anyway, so head there.

> Hina may be somewhere on Youkai Mountain anyway, so head there.

>You decide to head toward Youkai Mountain. As you pass through the dense snowy forest near Hina's home, you notice that a wolf is here, watching you from a distance. You are reasonably sure it is the same wolf from before. He doesn't seem to be doing anything hostile.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Hina?  Did you curse yourself into a wolf?"

[Chaore]

> "Hina?  Did you curse yourself into a wolf?"

> We're pretty sure Hina isn't a dude.

[Pesco]

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hina?  Did you curse yourself into a wolf?"

>You talk at the wolf. It shifts his ears about, but doesn't give any real indication it is Hina, or that it understands what you're saying to it.

> We're pretty sure Hina isn't a dude.

>That'd really be stacking insult on top of injury if that wolf were Hina...

> [ x ] Magic

>Admittedly, if you turn somene into a wolf, you can probably turn them into another gender in the process. But it would be insult on top of injury, really,

[Rin Kagamine]

> Push onward towards Youkai Mountain, but be wary of the wolf following us.

[Hello Purvis]

> Push onward towards Youkai Mountain, but be wary of the wolf following us.

>You push onwards. Looking back, it doesn't seem like the wolf is interested in following you into kappa town.
>You pass through kappa town, pleased to find the kappa don't look away from you so much thanks to your new glasses. Soon, you pass through the town and come to the cliff regions.
>You follow a snowy road that runs along frozen river. The incline becomes more and more severe and difficult to ascend, until you come to what can be most kindly described as a gentle cliff. A waterfall feeds the river, sending up chilly mist that that you take especial pains to avoid. Though the mountain slope is rather harsh and covered with snow, you are pretty sure you can make your way up it without flying. Thankfully, someone has carved in stairs for the more severe bits. Here and there the mountainside is dotted with curious houses built on stilts; you can see a couple of tengu here and there lazing about. About halfway up slope, some distance from the road, you can see a pile of metal, much reduced in size thanks to your efforts. Far above and ahead, you can see the Moriya Shrine. Obvious exits are East and West.

[Kasu]

> Head for the shrine.

[Hello Purvis]

> Head for the shrine.

>You head east.
>You are in the middle of tengu town. It is not very densely populated, compared to the previous towns you've seen, but there are a few-spire-like buildings with roosts for tengu and stairs for earthbound people. Much of the snow has been cleared away, you suspect that the persistent breeze here helped with that. To the east are the grounds of the Moriya Shrine. You see Hina near one of the buildings, looking around. Obvious exits are north, east, and west.

>Hail down Hina. When she's within speaking range, initiate delivery of package.
