>Stand up, if we can now, and get a look at Kisume
>"Yeah, well..."
>You get to your feet, and get a look at Kisume.
>She is hovering a few yards away, over some of the fissures. For the first time since you got here, and hopefully the only time, you are glad Renko is not here. You just got mugged by a little girl in a bucket. Well, maybe she's a small adolescent, but the fact remains. Renko would never, ever let you live that down if she had seen it. Kisume herself really doesn't look all that threatening, being a small thin girl with green hair pulled into ponytails and sitting in a bucket. She is rather dirty, though.
>"Only a dummy goes through the geyser," she continues, looking you over, "And you're lookin' in pretty good shape for it."
>"So, uh, can you point me the direction to the village where humans live? I'm kinda lost..."
>"If you don't know, do you suppose Yamame would know? I heard she lives near to the surface. I'd meet her if I keep on going this route, right?"
>"Oh, sure. Just keep going the way you're going, and you'll hit topside. After that, you're on your own.
>"Yep, she lives up by the way out."
