set the channel description: MURPH-NAPPED! After two strange ladies steal away Murph, Beth and one of the Eshu's old associates, Tyler the Troll Kinain, are on a quest to find him. Does the mysterious and terrible Madam Jusan hold the answers they seek? And at what cost?

She looks up at the sun, keeping her large hat on her head with one hand. "You don't stop do ya?" Muttering at the sun. "What about for a real silver nickle?" She looks to the taxi. "I suppose I could hit a shrine or two." She trundles towards the taxi, looking for the yen coins she ferreted away in her skirts.

*The Honcho drivers are reading their local newspapers, most of the front pages talk about recent negotiations between the US Military and Japanese government. One of them looks up as Beth approaches and flicks his cigarette out onto the street, eliciting a frown from one of the other drivers Yeah yeah where you go?

"Um." She ponders a moment. "To the nearest shrine please." She gives a smile. If he spoke in Japanese she does so, if not, English seems to be the thing. She reaches for the door.

She does not look to frightened. She does look around for the "Oh Shit" handles that most cars come equipped with, and she does buckle up. A small prayer to who ever might be listening might leave her lips, in quickly muttered Hebrew. Her hat and glasses stay on. After all hat rules for ladies are different than for men.

**The driver turns on the radio, a jaunty tune about Orion beer blasts from the speakers as he weaves through traffic. Passing by the same coastal road as before, the Pacific's blue waters contrast with the white cliffs of the island. Making a sudden left, the honcho rockets up through the foothills of Ginowan. Off in the distance the Marine corps air station can be seen now, situated on a neighboring plateau. The road eventually starts to get more "rural", the surrounding jungle starting to close in on the road. Eventually however, they reach the top of one of the hills to discover Futenma Shinto Shrine. The Main entrance is up a flight of stairs, giving it a rather commanding view of the valley below, Shisa statues flank the stairs and a multitude of signs surround the entrance warning of staying on the main path and to not explore the nearby caves.
