> We calculated from Lamplighter that the stars have been missing for longer than that, yes?

>Yes.

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Good to know. Anything missing other than the one in the Tsurube-Otoshi Constellation and the one in the Daitengu Constellation?"

>"I'll be honest with you," she says, "I don't know those names. I'd show you where I've seen 'em, but...it's a bit too early for that."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, that makes sense. Don't worry about it, then."
> Glance back at the rocket to see how our shipmates are faring.

>"Doubt I'd have anything new to tell you," Hikoboshi says. "I tend to have my attention a bit closer to the grass."
>It looks like Aoi is serving breakfast.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Alright, I'll leave you be, then."
> Purse our lips a bit.
> In a slightly quieter tone: "Though...I don't suppose you'd know of any way to quickly alter one's body shape? Or perhaps know of someone that might know?"

>The herder purses her lips. "If it were me," she says, "I'd look for the Great Sage of the Moon. Not that she's on the moon these days."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Where is she instead?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Where is she instead?"

>"Well, last I heard, she followed the exiled princess down your way," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Blink.
> "...Ohhhh. Her. ...Unfortunately, a reliable source told me that asking her about what I want would be a very bad idea."

[It's Purvis!]

> Blink.
> "...Ohhhh. Her. ...Unfortunately, a reliable source told me that asking her about what I want would be a very bad idea."

>Hikoboshi nods. "If that's what they say, that's how it is. I have a notion she has a price."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Most likely, yeah. Ah well."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Most likely, yeah. Ah well."

>"Just gotta figure out what it is," she says. "Not that I'd know. Don't have much to do with the moon, myself."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Understandable. Hmm, well, one final shot in the dark; would you happen to know any good spots to visit for treasure hunters?'

> "Understandable. Hmm, well, one final shot in the dark; would you happen to know any good spots to visit for treasure hunters?'

>"Lots of good stuff on the moon, they say," she says. "Not that I'd know about that or would recommend a youkai drop in there."
>She pauses and frowns, sucking her lip against her teeth. "Now, I'm not one for wealth. Or rather, you can see my wealth right here, putting that grass to you. But, if you wanted to try you luck, you might want to visit the Lady of Kashima. She might have a sword for you. What you'd need to do to get it, who can say? You can find her palace out that way. Not sure where you'd call it."
>She gestures in a broad direction toward Gensokyo, and across the river of sake.

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we familiar with this Lady of Kashima?

[It's Purvis!]

> Are we familiar with this Lady of Kashima?

>Not by that name.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Lady of Kashima...I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that name. Does she go by anything else, perhaps?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Lady of Kashima...I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that name. Does she go by anything else, perhaps?"

>"Lady Take," she says. "Though that's overly familiar, if you ask me."
>That is a bit more known to you; a heavenly god who oversees storms and swordcraft. More relevant is that she is supposedly the originator of sumo, an art strongly associated with and also attributed to kappa.

[Kilgamayan]

> Would we have any idea where she might be up here, beyond was Hikoboshi has already indicated?

[It's Purvis!]

> Would we have any idea where she might be up here, beyond was Hikoboshi has already indicated?

>You think she would be around the Tenome constellation.
