> Can we see that other evil version of us in this entity's memories?

> Can we see that other evil version of us in this entity's memories?

>Not that you can tell. You don't think it was aware of it?

> Is there anything notable in the Formless One's memories?
> Move further inward.

>Looking through them, the strange part is that there's a kind of gap. It became aware while it and Gensokyo switched places, in a sense. Then it switched back...or...hm, no. No, now you're starting to get it. You think that this entity was separated from the water when it was switched back, the same way peoples' memories of the event were. And then there was a gap, it wasn't aware at all, dormant. You don't understand what happened there, but then something occurred, and it ended up here.
>You've come to realize you're not "moving" so much as shifting your attention. It's like moving your head to look from left to right, but less physical.

[Kilgamayan]

> What do we remember of that event where Gensokyo got switched elsewhere?

[It's Purvis!]

> What do we remember of that event where Gensokyo got switched elsewhere?

>Not much. And you've really only just recalled anything, upon meeting Her. You don't know why it happened, or what happened to fix it. Only that it happened, and in that time you lived another life. Apparently not one you'd be proud of.

> Shift our attention further inward.

[It's Purvis!]

> Shift our attention further inward.

>You move further inward, and find nothing particularly different. You also don't find anything that might be your proper body, which you are fairly sure would have been here. Then again, it is hard to put a place to all this...

[Kilgamayan]

> Is there more inward to move?
> Does the stain appear to be moving at all, if it even has a physical presence? (Entirely possible that it does not, given the whole 'Formless One' thing...)
> Now that we are better acclimated to what the heck is going on here, can we better tell what is stopping our new ocean-y self from flowing into Gensokyo?

>You don't think so.
>You aren't sure if it's moving or not... Or rather moving in any meaningful way. You don't think anything here has a physical form...didn't Patchouli mention something like that, back when she examined that crystal you brought back? Doremi said something similar.
>That may be it. It...didn't have anything to flood with, it was just freefloating memories with no substance or reality.But you...you do have substance...

> Oh piss.
> Either we stay here forever

> That's what we're looking at, isn't it?

> Welp, no time like the present. Break out those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and get to scrubbing that stain out!
