[It's Purvis!]

> Turn to look at Yukari with a gaze and expression,joined with a lowering of the head,of apology and emphaty.

> To Stargazer approvingly and encouragingly  :"  Very good to fish that out ,my friend."

>" And, may you fish out as well Any Link or Reminescence or Direction Whatsover related to Those Trees,which are indeed by Japanese Inland, to The True Gensokyo or to the...oh...The Other Gensokyo ;

> " Anything Else of Possible Correspondence  from " Down Ther in Them Watery Barriers " and The Good Breezy Outsides."

> Whenever there is Silence ,strain our ears and senses out to "radar" any Noise,Voice,Inklings related either to Tojko or Tojiko-Chen-Ran.

>Stargazer feels a bit pleased with herself.
>Listening, you can't really hear anything outside...ah, but there is someone coming down the hall outside?

> To Stargazer :" For even nicer help, is it possible  you could also  feel some link or resemblance or reminescienceof Those Trees,or anything else from Those Watery Depths,True Gensokyo here,and possibly that Other Gensokyo?"

> To Yukari" Is someone coming from the hall outside ?"

> Turn and approach that direction following that noise,though do not exit the room and make way if it is approaching closer and closer.

>You have enough time to ask about half that question before the door opens, and Sakuya walks inside. You note a few danmaku burns on her dress, and that her hair is ruffled a bit. "Ah, captain," she says, "I did not expect to see you here."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Oh, hello Sakuya. Whether I wanted to or not I seem to have been thrown into the deep of things. I didn't realise I was setting you up for so much trouble when I delivered that letter."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Oh, hello Sakuya. Whether I wanted to or not I seem to have been thrown into the deep of things. I didn't realise I was setting you up for so much trouble when I delivered that letter."

>"It is nothing to worry about," says Sakuya. "This is something I've been wondering about for awhile."
>"So, what did you find?" Yukari says.
>"Miss Onozuka was in a fairly excitable mood, and seemed to believe I was accusing her of being up to something at first," Sakuya says. "But afterward, she was able to confirm that she didn't know of any irregularities in the movement of the the dead."
>"Mmm, good," says Yukari.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Do we know a miss Onozuka?

[It's Purvis!]

>Do we know a miss Onozuka?

>You don't know Komachi well; she makes you more than a little uncomfortable to be honest. But you know of her.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Shudder.
>"I sure hope Komachi and her crew don't get involved, having to deal with them makes me... uncomfortable."

[It's Purvis!]

>Shudder.
>"I sure hope Komachi and her crew don't get involved, having to deal with them makes me... uncomfortable."

>"I doubt she will," Sakuya says. "She is disinterested, to say the least. She has no idea anything is awry."

>"Oh, there is a danmaku battle going on out there," says Sakuya. "I didn't stay and watch, it's none of my business."
>"I suppose you are a part of this now," she continues. "So what is our next move?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Did Yukari fill you in on what's going on with me?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Did Yukari fill you in on what's going on with me?"

>"I think I understand the basics," says Sakuya. "The Formless One is dragging you over into some ocean world, right?"
>"That is not what I said," Yukari replies, going for her teacup again, before remembering it is empty.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Something is, but I don't think we know what it is. My thoughts for a next move were to give the trees over there a closer look, and also if you have any ideas of how to interact with ever-present but not at all visible beings to give trying to interact with that in some way a shot."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Hm. That feels more like a question for Patchouli, don't you think?" says Sakuya.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Well, Yukari might have some ideas."
>Look at Yukari expectantly.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Well, Yukari might have some ideas."
>Look at Yukari expectantly.

>"I think we found all we're going to find here," says Yukari. "Unless either of you have had a sudden inspiration."
>Sakuya shakes her head. "I barely understand what is happening at all, I've simply given you my trust."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"I still think it's a good idea for me to head over there and have a look at these trees while I'm here, in case I discover anything important."

[It's Purvis!]

>"I still think it's a good idea for me to head over there and have a look at these trees while I'm here, in case I discover anything important."

>"Go over there?" Sakuya says. "Go where?"
>"It's complicated," says Yukari. "But, I do think exploration may be the next step."

>_

[Branneg Xy]

>"Go over there?" Sakuya says. "Go where?"
>"It's complicated," says Yukari. "But, I do think exploration may be the next step."

> To Sakuya: "Patchouli can explain more insights than this, since it has picked her Interest in a Research-Visit, justly became 1 of her Active Research...however to Try and Explain It Fairly as a Rocky Foundation, both in the best meaning and in the negative
one... 

> "...   so far as understood, Down There is actually in a sort of Pocket-Space Dimension between the Folds of the Great Hakurei Barrier and Boundary, but in The Full Environment of an Ocean Bottom Floor, and so Literally Sunken and Watery-Flooded with Memories,  Wills, Illusive and Real-like and at the center The Real Entity... A Cloaking, Pressuring, Unseen Gazing Presence...Unseen. Incorporeal, Formless. "

>"Oh for that to be of Value...  Shall I take something back, In Explorations,  or Try Leaving Something There and Then Retrieve it, in particular Linked The Stargazer's Tree  but I am "Open Ports to Advices"  ; Of Course particular interacting potentially possible are within "Those Open Ports".

> Turn to Stargazer with an Encouraging Smile : How is She is Relating?

[Yaersulf]

>"By over there I mean the weird water world that I've been getting dragged into. I've managed to go over there once willingly to use a device Patchouli gave me, and I should be able to again."
>"Anything else you think I should try and check out while I'm there Yukari?"

[It's Purvis!]

>Stargazer seems to be keeping quiet.
>"Ah," Sakuya says. "...I don't think I'll be able to help much with that sort of thing."
>"At this point," Yukari says, "I would try to see if there is any medium through which you are being watched."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Any medium? Like floating eyes or something? I don't think I've seen anything like that."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Any medium? Like floating eyes or something? I don't think I've seen anything like that."

>"I imagine it wouldn't be anything so obvious, but yes," says Yukari.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Alright, I'll keep an eye out. Here I go."
>Unless either of them stop us, close our eyes and focus on being in the weird water world, making sure we've got Stargazer's cactus in our possession.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Alright, I'll keep an eye out. Here I go."
>Unless either of them stop us, close our eyes and focus on being in the weird water world, making sure we've got Stargazer's cactus in our possession.

>You focus, feeling the sensation of brine rising around, the pressure of the water... Soon you open your eyes and find the little room is flooded and ruined; the kotatsu and shelves are floating against the ceiling. Scrolls, books, and other such things have been dumped on the floor, all of them a sodden and useless mess. Shattered glass and metal things dot the floor, as do a few pieces of unbroken crockery. A couple fish lazily swim through, the door slid half open.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Okay Stargazer, let's go and find one of these trees of yours."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Okay Stargazer, let's go and find one of these trees of yours."

>She slowly manifests from her cactus, and radiates disappointment as she sees that she has taken on the shape of a jellyfish once more. Then she nods to you.

>_

[Branneg Xy]

>She slowly manifests from her cactus, and radiates disappointment as she sees that she has taken on the shape of a jellyfish once more. Then she nods to you.

>_

> Try to reach and touch the floating kotatsu.

> Try to take it with us or, if too cumbersome, any single object portable and recognizable enough.

> Exit the Building.

> If a Particular Presence is felt, Stop and Try and Focus on it, otherwise proceed outside to look for, or maybe have a feeling about, "The Stargazer's Trees" and "Possible Watching Mediums".
