>"It doesn't exist anymore, I'm pretty sure," says Utsuho.

>"A...marine form?" says the Hell Raven, frowning.
>Stargazer looks to you, and she shakes her head. At the same time, she radiates a feeling of isolation and confusion, you can feels he means that as part of her answer.
>The trees seemed exactly like trees you'd find anywhere in Gensokyo. Perfectly normal, except that they were underwater without any apparent issue. While it's possible there's an oddity that you overlooked, nothing about them gave you any reason to suspect so.

> To Stargazer,gratefully : " Every bit of help like this counts ".

> To Utsuho,thoughtfully :" Before she tried and had success in "taking residence"in this Special Cactus , courtesy of Yukari once I sought out her help and she understood it was not a nasty haunting spirit , which enabled her a travel of relief in Gensokyo, Stargazer was in the shape of a Ghostly Giant Man-o-War among other normals man-o-wars,not present in Gensokyo since they are sea-related ".

>"That's...new," says Utsuho, looking at Stargazer. "When were you a fish? You weren't a fish when you were with me!"
>Stargazer just radiates a sense of ignorance; she has no idea. As well, you can gather it wasn't a choice she made.

>"The place seemed like Gensokyo if it was at the bottom of the ocean, so maybe that had something to do with it."

>"The place seemed like Gensokyo if it was at the bottom of the ocean, so maybe that had something to do with it."

>"That's really weird," says Utsuho. "I can't imagine how that'd be related to her at all. But, I guess it makes a kind of sense? Were there any other weird fish there?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>There weren't right?
>"Just normal fish as far as I can remember, as far as normal can be applied to that place I guess."

[It's Purvis!]

>There weren't right?
>"Just normal fish as far as I can remember, as far as normal can be applied to that place I guess."

>You don't recall any of the fish being unusual.
>"I suppose," says Utsuho. "It's really weird someplace like that would have living things."

> " Everything there is  normally in its place at that Sea-Ocean-Bottom as created in nature,apart from Stargazer,myself,those mirroring of deserted buildings from wherever I am displaced from in Gensokyo andof course that Very Invisible Presence of Casual Gazing coming by the Unseen Clergy... but  the weirdest,most important and truly alarming bits bits are ..."

> Frown : " ...that the Unseen Clergy is actually operating from WITHIN the Great Hakurei Barrier, a revealation by a check&analysis by Yukari,and all these dimensional displacements pulling me periodically under are actually happening in the same Barrier not Inside nor Outside Gensokyo,a confirmed research by Patchouli.".

>"I...don't have any idea what that is or means," Utsuho says.
>"Let's go a bit easier on the loftier concepts?" Tojiko says. "The poor woman wasn't there when we had them spelled out for us."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>How sure about the Unseen Clergy being responsible was Patchouli?
>"Sorry, I just figure if we can work out how Stargazer got there, maybe we can work out how I have been as well?"

>She seemed to believe it strongly at first, but you think she has doubts now.
>"I guess that makes sense," Utsuho says. "Can't say I know much about it. I'll just throw this out there, you don't think like maybe time or history went nuts, do you? I guess you could ask a god about that..."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Time or history? What makes you say that?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Time or history? What makes you say that?"

>"Just a hunch," she says after a moment.

> "Good,who would you suggest we turn to that would have experience and at the same time keep it discreet ,not for myself or how I end up there,but for Stargazer's manifesting? "

> " Oh,on the side,this also reminds me that we could use help in finding a Green Tree Leaf in Good Condition because that is what Patchouli offered to enchant to help us along ".

>"I dunno," says Utsuho. "Any god that's not too chatty?"
>"I guess you'll want to go somewhere where the autumn goddess hasn't been. She's been painting up a storm lately."

> Fistpalm with small  smile  :" Ahahah,rightyand... Bamboo Forest Good or the Near Forest and groives Foliage could work unless I am glossing over a requirement by Patchouli ? And you ,Utsuho,have you seen or picked about her or her activity,intended more or less recently,or even about her sister Minoriko or the Aki Sisters?

> Quests

> To Stargazer after response :" Hey,Stargazer,have any of those names and attributes helping again in helping along bits more of your memories or feels or familiarity?"

> Not for a green leaf to be enchanted...but we do recall our way and the rough placement of a small shrine near the back of a Butcher's Shop in the Human Villagededicated Matarajin ( Okina Matara ) in the Human Village for possible contacts with her ,is it correct  ?

> How  are we on a perosnal and the Myourenji on terms,good acquantainces at least, bo with that Villlager's Butcher's Shop?

>"I've seen them around?" Utsuho says. "I don't know if I saw them today."
>You Quests are:
>When I Get This Feeling...
>Something has been dragging you into a strange ocean, and all you know is that you aren’t alone there and there are trees.
>Kindred Spirits,
>Perhaps you can make friends with that taoist ghost? You do have ghostliness in common...
>A Leaf in the Wind
>Patchouli may be able to make something to help you learn more about your predicament. But she will require you to obtain a blessed leaf to do so.
>You know roughly where the butcher's shop is, but you do not know the butcher or their family. People from the Temple are rarely there to start with.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Stargazer, what was the last thing you remember before ending up in that watery place I found you?"

>She radiates a sense of contemplation. Then there is a sense of being lost and isolated.

> To Stargazer : " Did you not met or  "sense" anyone else fully intelligent apart from myself and that... Unseen Gazing Presence ?"

> Then Look to Utsuho in askance for "interpretaion".

// At the end of this,we should ask Utsuho if she wants a favor or similar to us for the help she is giving us and Stargazer //

> Make a mental note to inquiry in the Kappa Town and the lower-half of Youkai Mountain Village for  Shizuha or Minoriko,otherwise we could have to go all the way to the Morya Shrine...if one or both of their location or most recent activity is not already up there .

> Nod understandly:" More things to explore or gets clues from whener we both,or just myself if stargazer is safely anchored here..."

> To Stargazer :" When you realized you were down in those waters , was it already so full of marine life or was it filled over time?"
