[Kilgamayan]

> "Thank you very much."
> Take the bundle.

[Hello Purvis]

>Quests

>You quests are:
>Fishy Finagling
>You swore you'd get Chen a fish, and by gar you did just that.
> Soliloquy for a Jailbird
>You have vowed to help deal with Aya's apparently unjust imprisonment. You'll either have to talk to Lord Tenma, who sentenced here there, or Shikieiki, whose complaints resulted in the sentencing.
>Wind in the Willows
>You have taken it upon yourself to help the poltergeist blend into society. She's shown an interest in jeweling and in painting; a practitioner of the former seems willing to take her on as an apprentice.

> "Thank you very much."
> Take the bundle.

>"Happy to be of assistance, Lady Nagae," she replies with a curtsy.
>You obtain: Whitefish Bundle

[Kilgamayan]

> "I will detain you from your tasks no further."
> Give a short bow.
> "Best of luck in your efforts."
> Make our way to that housekeeping message board.

[Hello Purvis]

> "I will detain you from your tasks no further."
> Give a short bow.
> "Best of luck in your efforts."
> Make our way to that housekeeping message board.

>You return pleasantries, and move on.
>Thankfully, the board is not too far away. Approaching it, you can see it's been loaded down with dozens of color coded messages, while a couple maids go through it, looking through it, while another adds on new messages. She notices you first, calling out, "Messenger," as you approach. The other two look over, as the speaker curtsies, and follow suit.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Good day, ladies. I am wondering if there would happen to be any available hands whom I could enlist to deliver a package to Gensokyo."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Good day, ladies. I am wondering if there would happen to be any available hands whom I could enlist to deliver a package to Gensokyo."

>They look between each other. After a moment, one of them says, "I suppose so. But, we don't know Gensokyo very well. What do you need?"

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Hold up the fish.
> "I need this fish delivered to a certain household. The mistress of that household, as well as her shikigami's shikigami, have greatly helped my efforts to restore our home. The shikigami of the shikigami is a young nekomata, who had a bad experience with our people when we first fell. I wish this fish to be a reward for her work, as well as a peace offering."

>"If you can tell us how to get there," says the celestial who was arranging the notices, "I'll make sure it's done."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod.
> "I can do this. However, I wish to write a note to the mistress of the house first, to be delivered with the fish. Will you still be here once I have finished making my way to my quarters and writing it?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very good. I will return momentarily."
> Assuming no objection from the gathered women, proceed back to our suite.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very good. I will return momentarily."
> Assuming no objection from the gathered women, proceed back to our suite.

>You return back to your suite
>It is just how you left, with Tenshi's bed unmade.

[Kilgamayan]

> Put the fish package on our desk and look for writing utensils.

[Hello Purvis]

> Put the fish package on our desk and look for writing utensils.

>You look around, and find some ink, a brush, and some paper set off to the side on a desk in the corner.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Get the necessary materials to write a note and get to writin'.
> "To Lady Yukari or Miss Ran,
>
> I apologize for not making this visit myself, but given how Chen still felt affronted by the events of two days, I thought an effort to make peace between her and our people might be better than if I appeared again. Hopefully she enjoys the taste of whitefish - it comes from the kappa village markets, personally recommended by Miss Nitori Kawashiro. I will also put word in with Lord Tenma to allow her access up the mountain to Guest Island, should she ever desire to visit us.
>
> I cannot overstate how helpful your family has been in my ventures, both in restoring my home and in helping a new face find their place in Gensokyo. On behalf of all of Bhava-Agra, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

> Sincerely,

[Kilgamayan]

> Fold it up.
> Grab the note and the fish and return to the bulletin board.
> Do we know, off the top of our head, how to get to the Yakumo House from Dragon Palace Island given where it is right now?

[Hello Purvis]

> Fold it up.
> Grab the note and the fish and return to the bulletin board.
> Do we know, off the top of our head, how to get to the Yakumo House from Dragon Palace Island given where it is right now?

>You fold up your letter and return to the board. You see a different maid looking through it now, but the same one as before is dealing with updating it.
>You think you should be able to do so, the village isn't too far from here, and from there it is mostly just following the road south to the intersection, then going east.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we know the name of the updating maid?

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we know the name of the updating maid?

>Not off the top of your head.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "All right, I believe I am ready. Will you be making this delivery, or finding someone less busy that can take care of it?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "All right, I believe I am ready. Will you be making this delivery, or finding someone less busy that can take care of it?"

>"I'll pass it on," she says. "It'll be done within the hour, I am certain."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod.
> "Then let me provide you with instructions to pass on. I am having another deliver the fish in the interest of repairing the nekomata's opinion of Bhava-Agra. Whoever presents this fish to is to tell her that it is thanks for the assistance she provided me in restoring our home, as well as an apology for what she experienced two days ago. In addition, the letter is to be read by Lady Yukari, a blonde youkai. If she is not available, Miss Ran may read it instead. She is a nine-tailed kitsune and the nekomata's direct superior."

>"Very well, Messenger," says the celestial. "What if the nekomata is not at this place?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Then the message of our arrival should be left with whoever is. If there is no one home, bring the fish back here and keep it on ice until later, when we shall try again."

[Hello Purvis]

>You give her the directions; she quickly writes them donw, though she periodically has to ask you to slow down or repeat something. But she records them.
>"Worry about it no longer," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile.
> "Thank you. Your assistance is tremendously appreciated."
> Hand over the fish package and the note.
