I tried to investigate the mountain with Majima-san, but we couldn't really get up there. But I somehow gained a pet from it? This crow won't leave me alone.
Ouse-san found something to investigate with her as well. It's nice to feel like I can help.
[She pauses and considers] It feels like death everywhere. It's exhausting. Lately, all I want to do is sleep.
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?
I think it's the only mountain, so yes, death mountain. [She's a little amused despite herself.] It went alright. No one got hurt or anything. [And she got a sweet crow friend!] There was some kind of monster, like a rotting mannequin. It was lonely and crying and when I hugged it it disappeared and the crow appeared. It's been following me around and leaving me gifts everywhere. Mostly just shiny things it finds, nothing really useful.
[So hug your local cryptid today! And yes, Yuri was met with a distressed disgusting monster and decided to hug it. It's fine.]
Ouse-san found a book in the Mayor's house. Something about a little girl's room? I'm going to be using the book soon to see if I can track the girl down, or if we can figure out something together. I don't know what answers it'll bring but... Hopefully something?
[ 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.
[Don't fuss at her!! She can get herself in and out of trouble just like anyone else, gosh!]
We had enough trouble coming up with any answers about Sodder, and now another mystery on top of this. If we can solve at least one thing I'll feel better.
I've never had a pet before or anything to name. I'll have to really think of something good. [She's taking this maybe a bit too seriously.
Her response to the question comes a few minutes later.]
I have now. Trying to follow its trace. It's leading a lot of places, like the presence moved around a lot, but I can't focus in on anything in particular. It leads up onto the mountain too, but we can't get up there still. That's where Sodder's presence is strongest too.
It seems the mountain holds a LOT of answers that we can't get to yet.
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".
No, he didn't mention that, but we also weren't able to go very far or high at all. I'm sure he would have warned me more if we were able to continue. But the mountain's totally closed off.
One of these days I'm gonna scout it and put a sign somewhere where the bad shit starts happening. I finally figured out how my healing works, so it shouldn't be too bad.
But it doesn't have to be you alone. You have other people that can help you here. You don't have to put your life on the line when we can all figure things out together.
I didn't say we shouldn't save her. And if I were her, I'd be more upset at people dying or getting hurt trying to save me. I'm sure there's a way to save her that won't involve you torturing yourself to figure anything out.
Just because you can heal doesn't change that. Who's to say the mountain won't have an effect on that too? What if you die?

Probably shouldn't go up though, with all the crap that happens to bodies when you do. Majima told you about that, right?
no subject
[WHAT DID MAJIMA FAIL TO TELL HER...]
no subject
Uh.
It ain't good, darlin'.
no subject
Nothing happened to us, and I feel fine so far. Should I be worried?

Oh

I ain't against help. But no-one has to go up the parts that make you bleed like that if they don't know for sure they can take it.

But if you start bleeding out your eyes, you're hanging back.
Deal?
no subject
[HE DIDN'T SAY SHE HAD TO LEAVE IF SHE SUFFERED ANY OTHER INJURIES, SHE'LL REMEMBER THIS.]
But it's a deal. Thank you.
