[She is absolutely pecking at the keys with one finger like a grandma. What is thumb texting and why would you do that.

Either way, she arrives second to the party. She seems fine, though her hair is in a braid rather than bound up on top of her head. It looks a bit shorter than before, but is still obscenely long in general.

More importantly, she is carrying a book, and gently thumbing along the edge of the spine as she approaches.

She wasn't in a bad mood, but she brightens a bit at seeing Yuri.
]

Thank you for coming.
shotgunyuukon: (And I must confess)

[And up comes the book. It's well worn and loved, but still in good shape. Ouse holds it out in offer to Yuri.] When we were in the Mayor's home, we found more than just a painting of a deer; there were many items, dolls, and these books, all in a little girl's room. The presence in the room was... worrying - there was blood on the dresser and a feeling of violence in the air. However, when I touched this book, and the more I looked into it, the more I realized... I think whoever this belongs to is still alive, but...

[Her smile turns a little... rueful.] I'm quite out of practice with Shadow Reading. And so... I would like your help finding her, Yuri. Or at least finding more about what may have happened to her.

Please tell me you're not talking about death mountain. [ Which is Mt. Rheum, for the record, but the way Majima described it when Logan asked means it's pretty much death mountain. But speaking of Majima, Logan's going to need to give him a stern talking to about exploring death mountain. God, these people. ]

And believe me, I wanna sleep too and I don't got mitori like you do.

The crow nice at least? You saying she investigated with Ouse?

[And just because she has to because #Ouse pls] Be careful saying things like that, or I might ask other things of you in the future.

[That tone? That tone is more than just a touch flirtatious, and that is including the otherwise serious nature of the request.]

Good. And this should help you practice, as well. I know you wanted some help with that, as well. We found it here, in the Mayor's house, so I figured this would be a good place to start looking to see where she may have gone, even if we can't go back within. [And thanks to the mods, there's even a helpful trail]

[ Yuri, this is a lot of information to parse through, god damn it. ]

I'm glad the crow's nice to you. [ What he really wants to send is what in hell made you think hugging a monster on death mountain was gonna be a good idea, but given it's all worked out, it'd just be unnecessarily fussy of him. ] You give it a name yet?

I met Ouse at the mayor's house though, gave her one of the books. The girl's name is Julia.

I didn't look too long, but far as I could see, it was like she was taken.

[Oh but is Yuri actually prepared for the kinds of things Ouse would ask of her, come now.

Either way, she watches the ghostly figure as it flickers and walks off. Time to get moving, then.
] I believe so. If you look inside the cover, there's a name - Julia. The strangest part is, there weren't really any people in the mayor's house at all, but there were presences of them. There was... what felt like a man in the main room, and a woman in the kitchen. As I understand it... you couldn't see them. Or shouldn't have.
danzan: wearing a top hat. (We found him passed out)

The crow's your friend now, right? You gotta distinguish it from all the other crows in the world.

Have you touched the book yourself?

[Have you seen how she's flirting with Rei yet. Just as a thought.]

It would make sense. I mean, most dreams come from things that already exist, even if the mind may change the details a bit. [She looks about.]

If we discover who - the real who, the real form of that Sodder person, perhaps we can all wake up and go home. No dream lasts forever. [Even her nightmares vary every night.

She almost sounds a bit melancholy, as she thinks about it.
]

... Pleasant or not.

Figures death mountain would also be answer mountain in this shithole.

Probably shouldn't go up though, with all the crap that happens to bodies when you do. Majima told you about that, right?

[At the same time, hm? Ouse gives a brief, sidelong glance at Yuri, not catching her eyes, just enough to take stock of her body language... and then gently clasps her hands in front of her in her usual pose.]

It's a somewhat complicated idea, isn't it? I understand, though. [She stares at her feet.] In truth... a part of me dreads the idea of waking up. Certainly, there are dangers and horrors here the likes of which don't exist at home, but I feel disconnected from some of the effects of the Black Water.

The nightmares remain, though... [She seems to think about something, and lifts her head to look a bit back toward her companion.] Have the nightmares started for you yet?

[... She's not surprised. It makes her quiet for a moment, but Ouse isn't surprised by the answer. A tiny amount of guilt creeps in - it's always hard to see the new miko adjusting to these things - and she knows what has to happen.] I'm sorry Yuri. [A deep breath.] ... If you continue wanting to get stronger, they're just... going to get worse.

[She gives a bit of a humorless laugh.] Eventually, you get used to them, and can even sleep at least a handful of hours most nights. But they get more vivid, and more frequent. It may be kinder just to- [She stops just short of asking if Yuri is still sure she wants to continue on with this path. She can't find the courage to say it, though, and mentally kicks herself for it.

Her heart is hesitating again. It's... unfortunate when it does that.

And now... they're almost to the hospital, stop one on the path. This seemed about right to what Ouse had tried to trace, but she's not sure where the path goes afterward.
] -- I'm sorry. The hospital, then? No, the trace doesn't end here, does it?
danzan: (Well that wasn't the ex-boyfriend)

Majima told me if you go high enough "the sky opens up, you lose all sense of direction and can't even find your fuckin' arms and legs, blood's dripping out of your orifices, and you can't feel things right or hear for shit".
