--did this come from? Black ice, shocking cold, now fog? I've never seen it so thick before!

[A bit of shuffling about, then Tamina yelps as her foot comes into contact with something solid.]

Ouch! Well...at least we found the stable.

[Her rustling sets the horses to stirring uneasily.]Shhh, Aksh, it's only me, you ornery thing. There,

This fog is suspicious.

It may be best for you to remain indoors until it clears, and then seek whomever you are looking for.

[timesguardian]

But...he was there! I saw him!

[ishikawa_juusan]

Mn. [How to gently suggest to a princess that she may only be seeing things in that thick, shifting fog...? Fortunately, he had not encountered any illusions himself when he defied confinement to bed and set out a short distance for groceries.]

Is it possible you may have mistaken him for someone else?

[timesguardian]

Asoka has been my personal guard since I was a child! I know him when I see him!

[ishikawa_juusan]

[Well, that settles that. He falls silent for a moment, the gears turning in his mind.] Hm.

You could attempt to call him in place of pursuing him in this fog. If he is truly here, his name should appear in your Dreamberry contact list.

[He has others to thank for introducing him some time ago to some different Dreamberry functions and helpful tips.]

[timesguardian]

...yes, I suppose that's true.

[She hasn't really fiddled with the thing much, to be honest. The freezer was a wonder enough.]

[ishikawa_juusan]

[He nods once, dimly.] It seems it would be the safestsimplest way of getting his attention.

[timesguardian]

[Have a frustrated grunt.]

Ugh! This thing does not want to be cooperative!

[And that thud would be the Princess slamming the infernal device against the nearest wall in her irritation.]

1/2

[ishikawa_juusan]

[And bashing it produces a very unpleasant sound, which earns this particular blink-and-you-miss-it reaction.]

2/2

[ishikawa_juusan]

Calm down. [He replies with equal parts sternness and coolness, deciding he won't say anything more until he is sure she won't attempt to punish the Dreamberry a second time.]

[timesguardian]

[She gives the device quite the imperious look.]

I am calm.

[ishikawa_juusan]

What were you trying to do? [Apart from giving the device a good smack.]

[timesguardian]

Find the list of people here, of course.

[ishikawa_juusan]

[Goemon proceeds to offer the same brief, concise explanation he himself received, step by step, which shall not be typed, alas, since the mun does not own a smartphone and would likely sound rather silly fudging Dreamberry details with vague directions such as 'poke that thing', and 'twirl your finger over the screen'.]
