	Wait!?!  Are they or are they not working?  I've heard both now, 

from sources I consider reliable and informed.  I need to know for my 
latest 'fic; if Tachi Kuno #3 and an androgynous companion to be named 
later travel to Jusenkyo (of ~2016), what will they find?<<

Is this the Tachi Kuno (with Ranko Saotome) from Descents and Inversions? In your case the springs ARE working. Otherwise how did Ranko get cursed?
