I'll have to go later, after midday. </span>Aiko told Jake and Lydia. She smiled nervously at the two.<span style="color: darkorchid">The ritual is very small... I just go out into the woods and set up a small shrine and leave an offering and prayer. Its supposed to invite the spirits of the forest to come and watch the dance.</span><br/><br/>She rubbed her arm, looking in the direction of the spirit forest.<span style="color: darkorchid">I don't really want to go out by myself. Obaasan doesn't want me to do it. She was worried that... something might happen to me. </span>She looked at Jake and Lydia.<span style="color: darkorchid">If the spirits are angry then... well, I'm just very glad you'll be there!</span>She smiled, looking relieved.<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: darkorchid">You'll be like some kind of heroes in the stories guarding a princess!</span>She smiled brightly.<span style="color: darkorchid">Like the story of Hariyaku and Kiyoko! You'll be like Reiku and Raiku!</span><br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><br/>Aisha stepped into the building that was ostensibly the shop. It was small, almost claustrophobic inside with little more than a counter and a few boxes and shelves. To call it a shop was generous. Sitting in the corner was a standalone PC unit, its screen glowing, asking for a log in to the network. Below was a Pokeball slot for sending and retrieving Pokemon. The dust on it gave little doubt to how frequently it was used.<br/><br/>As Aisha spoke up, there was a bit of a clatter and crash through the door behind the counter. A villager emerged that wore wide glasses. He blinked, peering over the counter. He was trying to finish tieing his best.<br/><br/><span style="color: red">Ata! Welcome welcome, come in come in! I was just getting dressed to head to the festival and get to work. What can I do for you?</span>He asked, looking between Aisha and Steven.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quests:</span><br/><ul>
