[Hello Purvis]

> "Mmm. I...think I can see something...?"

>"Just keep going a little ways," says Kagerou.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well. I am guessing you are still avoiding them?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very well. I am guessing you are still avoiding them?"

>"I'm a trapper," she says, "and the rabbit youkai probably don't take kindly to me trapping the occasional animal rabbit."

>_

[Monarda]

>"I understand, unfortunately such is the nature of life. The will always be the hunter and the hunt."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I understand, unfortunately such is the nature of life. The will always be the hunter and the hunt."

>"I just don't need to deal with a rabbit mob," says Kagerou.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Of course. Though it may not be as unworkable as you think. I observed earlier that they seem to have somehow mostly domesticated a wolf."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Of course. Though it may not be as unworkable as you think. I observed earlier that they seem to have somehow mostly domesticated a wolf."

>"Oh, that thing?" she says. "They feed him table scraps like a dog. I bet he digs out rodents, too. Not sure how they got him to settle down to begin with."

[Kilgamayan]

> "The tallest rabbit told me that they encountered each other some years ago, and that he now sees her as some sort of pack leader. She did not say how this came to pass, though."

>"That's strange," says Kagerou. "I wonder how she did it? I guess it does make sense, though."

[Monarda]

>Can we see the manor more clearly now ?
>"Indeed, i suppose nature will always have it`s exceptions."

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we see the manor more clearly now ?
>"Indeed, i suppose nature will always have it`s exceptions."

>No. You haven't gotten any closer.
>"Probably wasn't a natural thing, unless she found it as a puppy," says Kagerou.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I suppose it shall remain a mystery, then."
> Give the slightest of smirks.
> "Unless you intend to find out."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I suppose it shall remain a mystery, then."
> Give the slightest of smirks.
> "Unless you intend to find out."

>She snorts in amusement. "I'm not that desperate to know!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Chuckle a bit.
> "Of course, of course. Will I see you again at the grant event tomorrow?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Chuckle a bit.
> "Of course, of course. Will I see you again at the grant event tomorrow?"

>"I might come watch," she says. "Haven't decided yet."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Perhaps we will see you there, then."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Perhaps we will see you there, then."

>"Well, I'll do my best for you, after all the trouble you went through."

>_

[Monarda]

>Who do we know will be or might appear at the Mahjong Tournament ?

[Hello Purvis]

>Who do we know will be or might appear at the Mahjong Tournament ?

>Reimu, definitely. At least a couple people from Scarlet Devil Mansion. Likely Yukari.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thank you. It has been a pleasure, Miss Kagerou. I wish you best of luck with your network."
> Unless the youkai stops us, proceed onward in the alleged direction of Eientei.

> Unless the youkai stops us, proceed onward in the alleged direction of Eientei.

>"Have a good evening. Hope you get better soon, and thanks again!"
>You make your way forward, and after pushing your way through a stand of bamboo find yourself at the stout doors of Eientei.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Anyone visible? If not, knock lightly.

[Hello Purvis]

> Anyone visible? If not, knock lightly.

>You do not see anyone, so you knock on the door. Within a moment, it opens up, and a rabbit with dark curly hair peeks out. "Oh, there you are! We've been expecting you."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Pardon me if i took too long to arrive."
>Enter ! (I just noticed, Kilga passed his mania to put exclamation points on stuff like this to me. :V)

>"Pardon me if i took too long to arrive."
>Enter ! (I just noticed, Kilga passed his mania to put exclamation points on stuff like this to me. :V)

>"Naw, I've only been waiting a few minutes, really. Barely even had time to get a through the main stories in my paper," says the rabbit, as she opens the door for you, and tucks said periodical under her arm.  You still don't know if those things are a good idea or not...
>As you enter, the rabbit moves ahead and leads you down the hallway. Silence reigns in the manor. "This way," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we see the title of the periodical?
> Follow!

[Hello Purvis]

> Can we see the title of the periodical?
> Follow!

>It appears to be the Bunbunmaru News.
>You follow the rabbit as she takes you to the the first  intersection of hallways and takes a left. You proceed down this hall a little ways, past a number of doors, before stopping at an open one. "Here you are," she says. "Your friends are in those rooms across the hall."
>She gestures toward three doors across the hall to emphasize.

>_

[Monarda]

>"I see, thank you for your assistance."
>Are the doors all in a row or is there a room or 2 in between them ?

[Hello Purvis]

>"I see, thank you for your assistance."
>Are the doors all in a row or is there a room or 2 in between them ?

>"No problem," says the rabbit. "Need anything else?"
>The doors seem to be in a row.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Do you know who is in each room?"
