Alice Quest - The Seven-Colored Puppeteer's Week v1.2

[Neovereign]

>Putter around for awhile, until we think we have had enough time pass that Shanghai ought to be able to return with a response. Maybe tend to the garden, clear out some fallen limbs. Let's enjoy our current bigness for awhile.

> You begin to pass your time in wait for Shanghai...
> ...
> You notice Marisa and Shanghai approaching. The former stops in place when she notices you.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Wave. "Marisa! I'm glad you showed up!"

[Neovereign]

>Wave. "Marisa! I'm glad you showed up!"

> "Uh...huh. What exactly is this?" Marisa asks.
> Shanghai returns to your side.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown a bit.
> "...An apology? I would have seen you myself, but you made it rather clean that you did not want me around."

[Hello Purvis]

>Before we speak, what "this" does Marisa seem to be referring to, the letter, our current state, or indeterminant?

[Neovereign]

>Before we speak, what "this" does Marisa seem to be referring to, the letter, our current state, or indeterminant?

> She is holding the paper up, so you believe it's about the letter.

> Frown a bit.
> "...An apology? I would have seen you myself, but you made it rather clean that you did not want me around."

> "No, I mean-. ugh..." Marisa holds her forehead for a moment. "That's not it. It was that that thing was uncomfortable. I'm not mad or anything, just, don't do it without telling me first and stuff."
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Of course."

[Neovereign]

> Nod.
> "Of course."

> "Now uh, again, what exactly is this?" Marisa asks. "What I'm looking at here, I mean."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Grin. "I think I've found a new vein of research!"

[Neovereign]

>Grin. "I think I've found a new vein of research!"

> Marisa blinks, heading closer and starting to examine you.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Approach her as well, still grinning.
>"Impressed?"

[Neovereign]

>Approach her as well, still grinning.
>"Impressed?"

> "More curious..." Marisa looks up towards you from below. "Did you overdose on those mushrooms I showed you or something?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"No, but that might be a fun future experiment."
>Lean over to get a a more proper conversational distance.

[Neovereign]

>"No, but that might be a fun future experiment."
>Lean over to get a a more proper conversational distance.

> You lean over.
> "So how did... this, happen anyways?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Just a little furthering of the Goliath project. I'm rather happy with the results."

[Neovereign]

>"Just a little furthering of the Goliath project. I'm rather happy with the results."

> "First the string thing, now this..." Marisa looks down, then back up. "So did it help it, or are you just like this now?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, I'm testing it for duration now. But so far I don't foresee any problems with that. It may be accurate to say the Goliath project sort of branched into this?"

[Tashi]

> Compare ourselves to Marisa's size.
> Briefly look at Shanghai.
> "Oh, and thanks for delivering the letter. You did a good job."
> Give a smile at Shanghai and then look back at Marisa.
> "I admit it was unexpected, but in a good way. It's nice to expand my knowledge like this."

> Shanghai nods.
> Marisa is near your waist. You're not that huge yet, but you could probably pick her up easily. Maybe even with just one hand.
> "Yea..."

[Tashi]

> Can we determine if we are able to transfer more growth magic into our body without, uh, exploding like Goliath? In other terms, do we feel how 'full' are we?
> "I have a slight hope that this helps at the Goliath Project, but I honestly doubt it. There's other thing that might work if I find a way to execute it properly, though."

> There shouldn't be a reason for you to explode. You're not made with gunpowder like your dolls...
> "Goliath is... which doll again?" Marisa asks.
>_

[Tashi]

> Still, try to determine how 'full' we are.
> "Oh, it's none in specific. I have a series of dolls meant to be used for Goliath."
> Summon a doll for Goliath-related experiments.
> "Like this one."
> Do we have names to differentiate them from the 'normal' dolls?
>> If not, ponder a name for this 'series'.

> You try to determine...
> The most you feel is that you still have magic remaining...
> Will you create a regular doll, or a Goliath doll?
>_

[Tashi]

> Summon a doll for Goliath-related experiments.

> Goliath doll. Sorry for being ambiguous.

[Neovereign]

> You create a Goliath doll.
> "You didn't have to show me. Just telling would've been alright." Marisa says.
> They are Goliath dolls.
>_

[Tashi]

> "Well, it isn't a burden to summon or unsummon them."
> Unsummon it.
> Do they look any different?
> "Finding a way to create an autonomous would be nice, too."

[Neovereign]

> "Well, it isn't a burden to summon or unsummon them."
> Unsummon it.
> Do they look any different?
> "Finding a way to create an autonomous would be nice, too."

> "Right. Can you even go back?"
> No.
>_

[Tashi]

> "Oh? You mean 'this'?"
> Place a hand on our chest to refer to our body.
> "Yes, I can."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Eventually."

[Neovereign]

> "Oh? You mean 'this'?"
> Place a hand on our chest to refer to our body.
> "Yes, I can."

>"Eventually."

> "So you're staying like this for a while..."
