>Follow the sounds of conversation and knock on any necessary doors.

> Take slow and soft steps to approach the door or entrance as not to bother the speakers,though.

> Any useful and involving bits or are they private and to be respected  concerns?

> Take slow and soft steps to approach the door or entrance as not to bother the speakers,though.

> Any useful and involving bits or are they private and to be respected  concerns?

>Quietly approach, leading into a small hallway, and hear Tojiko saying, "Honestly, she isn't that bad. A little spastic, certainly, but outside of that she's a sweetheart, most of the time."

[Yaersulf]

>Burst through the door. "Did I hear someone talking strawberries?!"
>Knock on the doorframe.

> Go through with knocking,but at a relaxed enough pace so we receive a chance to hear out a clearer  reply .

>"Aside from the fires," Ran says as you knock while gliding in. You see that she and Tojiko are seated at a table, sharing a pot of tea. Chen sits in a corner, looking grumpy. She looks markedly more grumpy as you walk in.  "Ah," Ran says.

> Hail each of the 3 individually starting from Tojiko...

> ...and ,unless they object,go take a seat at the table ,or at least get by them if no seat is available...

> ...pause,then ask if Yukari has had the time to bring them any news or explanations about  " Our current Incident-Resolving Approach for this In-Between Dimension one  ".

>"Ah, welcome," says Ran. Chen just gives you a nasty look.
>"You're still in one piece, that's good." Tojiko says.
>You have a seat at the table. Ran nudges a plate of rice crackers toward you.
>"We've not heard anything, no," Tojiko says. "Frankly, we were a little worried."

> Thank Ran for offering the snack,then say : " Well,I come back here to also bring the good news that ,by going there the last time  as a coordinated investigation group of 4, we made some important discoveries and breakthroughs  in the Watery In-Between Hakurei Barrier Dimension ...

> ... and indeed those are giving us the the means to reach,explore and eventually resolve the Source of the Incident...

>... of course via a,currently under-building, Fit Exploration-Resolution Team with all the due needed preparations and  offered help".

[Yaersulf]

>"Sorry for dissapearing on you, we explored so far in the water world that when I left it I was on the other side of Gensokyo. We managed to find something promising in there and I was making some preperations to investigate it in earnest. There's some strange trees in there, and we found a ring of them that if someone steps into the center of, Yukari reckons it'll transport you somewhere else. The whole thing gives me an ominous feeling but it's the best lead we've got now."

>"That does sound ominous," says Tojiko, frowning. "Do you think it'll be alright?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Frankly, I have no idea. Though I might be able to get at least a clue of what I'm walking into thanks to Patchouli, who's rejiggering her device for another use to analyse these weird trees. And I won't be going in alone, I've put together a motley crew to explore these uncharted waters. Shou and Sakuya have agreed to come with me, and you're more than welcome to join us as well."

>"I can't breath underwater," Tojiko says.
>"Are you not a ghost?" Ran inquires. "I wouldn't think you'd need to breath at all."
>"That's a different matter," says Tojiko. "This said, I am a little interested in seeing this phantom world for myself..."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Don't worry, Yukari seems to have worked out a solution for the whole being able to breathe thing.  She had Sakuya in a bubble that she could even throw knives through safely somehow."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Don't worry, Yukari seems to have worked out a solution for the whole being able to breathe thing.  She had Sakuya in a bubble that she could even throw knives through safely somehow."

>"It is perfectly safe," Ran adds.
>"Well, I suppose that would help," says Tojiko.

>"It is perfectly safe," Ran adds.
>"Well, I suppose that would help," says Tojiko.

> " In fact Yukari is also preparing helping us out  for the final retrieval back home".

> " Oh,and by now,by time we arrive at the Mansion it should be about time for Patchouli to be ready as well...or at least with fairly little time to spare waiting ".

>"Well, I suppose I've come this far," Tojiko says. "The Crown Prince would not forgive me for walking away now."
>"You don't walk," Chen says, glaring at Tojiko. You can feel a rising static from Tojiko.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Suppress a chuckle.
>"It's great to have you on board. I'm going to owe you something big after this is all over."

[It's Purvis!]

>Suppress a chuckle.
>"It's great to have you on board. I'm going to owe you something big after this is all over."

>"I can imagine," Tojiko says, the charge in the air dispersing a bit, but not quite completely.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Are you all good to head over to the Scalet Devil Mansion? If we head off now then by the time we get back Patchouli will probably be just about done."

[Branneg Xy]

>"Well, I suppose I've come this far," Tojiko says. "The Crown Prince would not forgive me for walking away now."

>"What." Chen says, quirking her eyebrows. You think you make have actually confused her out of her spite for a moment.
>"We must be gracious when we lost, Chen," Ran says.
>Chen flattens her ears. "I didn't lose, she just beat me once, that's all!"

>"Are you all good to head over to the Scalet Devil Mansion? If we head off now then by the time we get back Patchouli will probably be just about done."

>"Ah, Chen and I will not be joining you," Ran says. "There is nothing we can contribute."
>"Hope you get soaked," Chen grumbles.

> To Ran :" Well,you have sure contributed with gratitude by hospitality,especially for Tojiko."

> Eat the already taken Crackers.

> To Tojiko :" If we start off for the Mansion soon enough,we should be in time to both gather the member of the Team waiting there and hear out Patchouli's results with her investigation"

[Yaersulf]

>"If you think getting soaked's a problem you wouldn't last a second where we're going."
>"Shall we get going then Tojiko?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Oh, it was nothing," Ran says.
>The crackers are nice, they have a mild saltiness to them.

>"If you think getting soaked's a problem you wouldn't last a second where we're going."
>"Shall we get going then Tojiko?"

>Chen just sticks her tongue out at you.
>"I suppose," says Tojiko. "Thank you for tea, Ran, it was delicious."
>"It was a pleasure," Ran says.

> Say the final thanks and goodbyes before leaving.

> Say the final thanks and goodbyes before leaving.

> Fly carefully back to the Mansion, where we left Shou waiting,together with Tojiko.

>You leave Mayohiga behind, with Chen blowing a raspberry in your wake.
>The flight back is as long as the one that brought you there; at this point you're pretty familiar with the route and doubt you'll forget it for a very long time. Tojiko follows along quietly; though at one point you catch a glimpse of her nibbling on a rice cracker she took with her.
>Returning to Scarlet Devil Mansion, you find Meiling at the gate, going through a series of stretches. Shou doesn't seem to be anywhere around.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Wave to Meiling.
>"It's me, the real Captain Minamitsu Murasa, once again."

[It's Purvis!]

>Wave to Meiling.
>"It's me, the real Captain Minamitsu Murasa, once again."

>"Hey Captain," Meiling calls as you approach.
>"Hello Miss Meiling!" Tojiko calls back.
>Meiling just waves to you both.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Mind if we just head on in? Patchouli should be expecting us."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Mind if we just head on in? Patchouli should be expecting us."

>"Absolutely," says Meiling, opening the gate. "I imagine you know where to find her."
