O-Mochi seems quite taken aback by Ivory Eyes' sudden surge of interest. "Well, yes, underground. That's where you're going to find all the First Age relics. Modern Lotus was built on top of the ruins, obviously. There just happened to be a nice patch of cave rice I was tending to down below, and I noticed that one of the big tombs had a nice little library niche." The Rice God seems to assume that you already knew everything there was to know about whatever might lie buried beneath Lotus.
Rising Echo's proposition, though, he takes more interest in. "Move the Spirit Court to the city? It'd be risky, disastrous if Heaven ever caught word of it...but if we have the Eastern Censor on our side, we could do it. There would be a certain glory in that." He pauses for a moment, as if in reverie, then shakes away the ephemera of memories. "Now, as for the shrine, I suppose you could rededicate it. The only worry is that many of us had...less than warm feelings for the Immaculates. There is no small sum of hatred in our hearts, and seeing that shrine torn down would pay no little satisfaction. There might be more willingness to tolerate the faithful, if they were properly re-shaped. But whatever taint the Immaculates left in this city, it needs to be torn up, root and seed."
