>Shiki: This isn't getting us anywhere.
>"Patchouli, may I borrow this book? I will probably want to look through it again before this is over, and I'd rather not need to bother you every time I do. I promise that I will return it once this is over."
>"Hm..." She thinks for a long moment. "Very well."
>Assuming Patchy's okay with it, take the book. Either way, take the paper that we found in it.
>You take the book and the slip of paper.
>You obtain: Planes Book
>You obtain: Mysterious Informational Slip of Paper
>"Odd...I don't remember that slip of paper..."
>"Yukari, gap me underground, please. I'm going to check on Utsuho and Koishi."
>"First, would you like to inquire about Patchouli not knowing about that 'slip' of paper?"
Such is the curse of convoluscence.
That's not a word. The word is probably "convolution".
>Ortiz Yuyutains: "Shall we head her off, then?"
>Lead the reassembly at Patchouli's library gap! Perhaps she'd like to see, too? Ask!
>Rikako turns off her device, but, being as cumbersome as it is, she can't really put it away.
>A gap immediately opens up. Through it, you see Patchouli's library.
>Spiteful Spinytail: Coldly, "Koishi's going to be here, huh."
>Oh, she's not going to like what's in our head...
>I'm guessing that would be "azfscbdkvnkv,fhemfvnnnnbgnveaszdchlvnnnfvAAAARGH! STUPID LOUSY GODDAMN GENSOKYO-FUCKING UP SATORI!dsjkvb vk", right?
>Stick around during the departure; if alone with Yukari as the last two to leave, stop her with a "Hey, Yukari."
>You stick around while Yuyuko and Rikako exit. Yukari doesn't attempt to enter the gap immediately, but instead says to you "After you." When you reply with "Hey, Yukari." she replies "Yes?"
>Twice-Risen Olympia: "Heya. You Keine?"
>"Yes, I am. What can I do for you?"
>Chipper Cosmopolitan: "Y'want a drink?" Offer as such!
>"No please."
>Rodentius: Well... it's good that they can probably handle themselves, and we can't really play hero, but... we need to talk with them, and hopefully join up before all of Gensokyo comes down on us for seeing porn of everyone, among other things.
>Oh, Ijiyatsu doesn't contain porn of Gensokyoans. Less savory parts of the world, however, do. You don't really expect them to venture far out, though.
>You're probably going to need to talk to them, but how do you expect to dodge fairy maids?
>What time of day is it, and would this be during normal Library hours?
>It is morning, which would be within normal operating hours.
>Take a peek in through the damaged wall from a safe distance. Keep half an eye on Meiling and any other new arrivals from the library-mansion's grounds.
>You walk to the north side of the building by heading right and around the corner, and peeking into the hole.
>There are plenty of fairies. You see Patchouli and a girl you identify as Sakana. It's kind of strange to see Patchouli in the flesh, even after seeing plenty of cosplays.
