You knock on it. The shaking stops for a second, and then continues even faster than before.

Opening the lid, you find ~~nothing~~ Tear looking up at you.

"H-hey there."

"Well, I found this stuff, but people got angry at me for some reason. Everything I found was all by itself with no one around. I don't know why they got so upset."

Tear climbs out of the barrel.
"We can just go on and forget this happened."

Keine facepalms herself.
"We need to think of a way to give the charms back without getting my friend so mad she burns half the Forest."

Keine ponders this for a moment.
"Well, if we do that, then she'll get suspicious. Who ever heard of a fairy returning something she found? We need to make this believeable."

"I could do that, but where would I say I got them from? If I say I found them, she'll need to know how they got that way. If I say I got them from a fairy, then she'll still want to beat the fairy up. We need to convince her beyond a shadow of a doubt that the entire thing has been taken care of."

Tear speaks up, "I found them when I was out here. They were just on some pants that were hung on a string. They were kinda wet too."

Keine facepalms again.
"She took them while they were drying. There goes that idea."

"Nah, she must've noticed they went missing whle they were drying. I have an idea but it's kinda sadistic."

"Well, my friend won't give up on this until she gets satisfied with the results. And she probably wants to end the fairy."

Tear gulps.

"But," Keine continues,"if we make it seem like the fairy has been dealt with for stealing, then she'll be happy with that and drop the entire thing. We need to stage a fight."

"We would have to do it in such a way that she wouldn't be suspicious. We can't just put them back in her house and expect her to go along with it."

"I would be glad to do that, but your friend took them while they were drying. It's not like she was moving them around. She knows it was someone else who did it."

Little harmless things, and when she doesn't 'remember' them, after a bit, mention that she seems to have problems with that lately. This would work better if we could get a couple more people involved. Then, we place these charms somewhere inconspicuous, and when she rages naturally, insist she must have forgot removing them."

"I like the first idea, put on a little play for her. Nice. As for the second, there's no way I'm going to take the literal and metaphorical heat for this. How do you suggest carrying out the plan?"

"Well, the group we have now could work. You "deliver" a package to her that she never ordered, Reimu can thank her for the donations she made to the shrine, and I could put the idea that she lost the charms in her head, then help her "find" them."

Reimu gives you a slightly annoyed stare.
"No. No she isn't. Works better for our plan."

Keine looks into your cart.
"Let's see what you have, and give her a combination of stuff she'll never have ordered normally."

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #479 on:** November 21, 2010, 07:44:45 AM »

>"No, that's too suspicious. She'd be less likely to doubt it if she ordered something normal for her. You're more like to forget something routine. We'll need a day for it, too."
