[ ok. ok hello. we're in the woods, right? crappy. whatever imps told told junpei that yukari was out here in the woods were JERKS.... it's the karmic justice he gets for smushing their comrades on arrival. so, woods. la llorona, probably, judging by the CREEPY AMBIANCE and general lack of sunlight making it's way down through the trees to ground level. hello everyone!! did you know camping out here absolutely SUCKS? because it does. and his horse keeps biting him. ]

Hey, Yuka-tan, I know you're scared of ghosts and all, but where the hell are you hiding out here? None of these are ghosts, they're solid, they have knives and whatever so you can come out of whatever shrub you're hiding under and talk to me already! I know your phone's not working, but come onnnnnn, what's the deal?

[ suddenly, an enlightened pause. ]

You didn't get turned into a deer or something, did you?

[ STUPEI, ACE DEFECTIVE, everyone. he is the BRAINS of this operation. little does he know that there are, actually, probably ghosts in here after all but his burning anime friend spirit is probably keeping them away. isnt it great!!!

but let's also ask the general public for help. ]

Uh, if anyone else has seen a girl with a pink sweater and a bad attitude and some archery stuff, can they tell me? Her name's Yukari.

I'd say you could ask one of the imps but…pretty sure they'd just lead you in a giant circle. [He's assuming imps. Because that forest? Definitely not one he's familiar with. Not really.]

You could always call her with these things. I mean it's not as easy as a text or anything but it's a start. Is it just you two from…wherever you're from?

Those things? They're the ones who said she was out here in the first place. [ UGHHHHH ]

And can't she see this? It's like, one of those message boards, but with video and stuff, right?

And you actually listened? [Dude in that case maybe you deserve it...]

She can, but it's like...think about it like sending a mass email to everybody versus sending a private message. What're you more likely to pay attention to?

Well, she wasn't in the castle and there's only so many directions you can leave it from, none of which don't involve spooky forest so... yes?

It just seems like a really poorly executed plan, that's all. [Shrug. Sorry bro.]

Don't take this the wrong way but are you sure she wants to be found?

[ super shounen POWER OF FRIENDSHIP VIDEOGAME DEUTERAGONIST HERE excuse you ]

We're teammates! We look out for each other, dude.

[Hey man he totally gets the concept of being all in this together etc etc but man. Girls. Girls are sometimes weird and do weird shit.]

That totally doesn't answer the question though.

Um, 'cause she's scared of ghosts? Gangs in the bad part of town? No big deal. Ghost stories? She's freakin out and yelling.

But wouldn't the gangs be more likely to actually do something to he--you know what, never mind. I don't think I want to try and figure it out.

She might not even be in the court anymore. Have you seen how big the world is?

... 'Course I do! It's like. Smallish? Not Russia sized... And she has one of these things, to boot!
