> "Oh, on a slightly related topic, when you came to my booth earlier, do you remember seeing the kappa in one of the booths next to me? Short dark hair, glasses, selling braised cucumbers?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Aoi! Thank you. I couldn't remember if her name was Aoi or Inari, and I was feeling bad about it."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Aoi! Thank you. I couldn't remember if her name was Aoi or Inari, and I was feeling bad about it."

>"There's quite a few people, I don't think it's unusual to forget a few names when you're busy with things."

[Kilgamayan]

> "I know.  But it was still frustrating after she'd been nice to me, you know?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "I know.  But it was still frustrating after she'd been nice to me, you know?"

>He gives a little chuckle. "It'll be our secret, then."

[It's Purvis!]

> How are we doing for timing now?

>What are you trying to time? There's still quite a bit of time til evening.

> Head back toward the center of activity.

[It's Purvis!]

> "Thanks, friend, and will do."
> Head back toward the center of activity.

>You leave, as the old man gives you a little wave.
>Returning to the main center of activity, there are food stalls, merchant stalls, games, the swap meet and the concert to look into. Things are quite busy at the moment just about everywhere you look, kappa everywhere, as well as the occasional other youkai.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we recognize any of the non-kappa youkai?

[It's Purvis!]

> Do we recognize any of the non-kappa youkai?

>There are a few you recognize. That little troublemaker Chen at a refreshment stand. There's a green-haired insect youkai you've seen come and go a thousand times, a couple of rabbit youkai you've seen selling dango before at a game booth. There's also a couple you don't recognize, such a horned youkai with white and black hair that seems to be selling fish at her own both and a green-haired kobito who seems to be arguing with a scrap merchant.

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we see those rabbits in the human village earlier?
> Is the horned youkai selling fish that amanojaku?

[It's Purvis!]

> Did we see those rabbits in the human village earlier?

>You did; they must have finished up for the day.
>No, this one is more bovine.

[It's Purvis!]

> Run back to where the old man is.

>You rush back, and find him gazing out over the river again.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hey! I completely forgot to ask - do you know where I might find Kutaka the chicken god, Chimata the rainbow god, or Misumaru the mitama god?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Hey! I completely forgot to ask - do you know where I might find Kutaka the chicken god, Chimata the rainbow god, or Misumaru the mitama god?"

>"Oh my," he says. "I'm sorry, young lady, but I don't really leave town very much. I'm sure someone who travels the mountain more would be able to help you."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, that's alright. Thanks regardless. Have a good one! ...Again!"
> Head back to the festival area, trying to track down that insect youkai.

> "Ah, that's alright. Thanks regardless. Have a good one! ...Again!"
> Head back to the festival area, trying to track down that insect youkai.

>She's a little difficult to find, green hair among a sea of blues of dozens of hues doesn't stand out as much as you might think. But you eventually find her by a shaved ice stand, just about to walk off.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Follow after her.
> "Hey there!"

[It's Purvis!]

> Follow after her.
> "Hey there!"

>She stops, then turns around, a cucumber-green shaved iced in her hands. "Hoi chummer," she says. "Need something?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah, hopefully real quick. You seem like you get around - you know where I might find Kutaka the chicken god, Chimata the rainbow god, or Misumaru the mitama god?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Yeah, hopefully real quick. You seem like you get around - you know where I might find Kutaka the chicken god, Chimata the rainbow god, or Misumaru the mitama god?"

>"Yeah, they're around," she says. "You'll find Thunderbird up close to the lake, far off from the Moriya HQ. The Skagwoman's on the far side of the mountain, she got her Street back there. The Orb Jockey is along the north side of the mountain, by a real drekky mine."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Do any of those locations make sense to us?

> Do any of those locations make sense to us?

> Actually...the estimate locatios,3 of thrm, were"kindly given but... do we need to ask her,or perphaps others,a "more precise loc. within loc. if we know they are "too much of an estimate to find within them those 3 acquaintace of ours"?
