Oh!  Hi!  Cats!

She can't really wave at them, and she doesn't think she should, but...

Cats are neat, and that probably shows in how she looks at the sight.

"Ah, I stopped there a while ago- They had a rodent problem and brought in a bunch of cats. I guess it got reflected here. The animals that you find in the Spirit World are usually just animals. You can harvest plants and animals here and bring them into the material though! It's just not great to do it too much- The spirit reflects the material and the material reflects the spirit. Overhunting here will affect populations in the material, too."

On they go. Another village, this one surrounded by too-real fields of rice. Another graveyard. A Spirit World reflection of the town, including Fake Wizard Guy's giant house.

"...Huh.  More like Nobilis than I thought it would be, I think."

"...Should we prank his not-a-wizardship while we're here?"

"We've already got his hat. No need to take it further, in my opinion."

"Fair enough."

"Mhm! Best pranks are maybe a bit mean but certainly not cruel."

On they go.

The landscape of the Spirit World changes fairly rapidly. The forest thins, replaced with abstract representations of fields, houses, villages. Then they turn and proceed down a Spirit River for a while, walking on wooden and stone bridges through cultivated boggy/swampy areas. The water glistens invitingly and there are berry bushes, taro, lotuses, and cattails, and villages on and in the water.

Then the wooden paths change to stone and there are stone houses, mills, dams, terraces, and aqueducts. They encounter one large spirit at this time, an enormous frog-like being with deep purple mucusy flesh napping in a muddy field. Megi just continues on.

She's following Megi's lead, and - not poking that water, she doesn't know where it's been.

It's been a couple hours now of weird Spirit Terrain and a too real, but also eerily somewhat empty, world.

"It's safe to forage and drink here," Megi comments. "More nutritious than usual, even! But moving on is fine too."

"Oh, good, not faerie-food rules.  I was just a little concerned that the water was too attractive.  I suppose if it was a trap it would actually feel like a trap, though."

She could use some water, to be honest.
