Patchy Quest: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Toasty]

>ask about frog oil

[Hello Purvis]

>sigh and relax a bit.
>Have Marisa put Suwako back down

>You sigh and visit your happy place. New book day. Koakuma with a fresh cup of tea. That maid spilling Remilia's dinner all over the floor. Bliss.
>Marisa nods, and sets Suwako down. The goddess gives you nasty look, which you charitably decide is preferable to you strangling her.

>ask about frog oil

>"It's none of your business!" Suwako says, "And what'd you do with the rest of it? Huh?"

>_

[Seian Verian]

> "I... Um... Drank it..."
> Mukyu

[Maid Xan~]

>Orz

[Hello Purvis]

> "I... Um... Drank it..."
> Mukyu

>"GAAAAH!" Suwako lunges for your throat again, but Marisa deftly snatches her off her feet again.
>You Mukyu. Marisa laughs merrily, already amused by Suwako's valiant struggle against the air. Sanae, who had been edging away, giggles.
>"Tear her head off, Sanae!" Suwako shouts. "Y-yes, Suwako-sama." says Sanae, who resumes hitting you with the broom.

>Orz

>You do not know how to speak Orzese. And honestly, you're a little afraid to.

[E-Nazrin]

>"Mukyuu!"
>"W, wouldn't it be better to take this out on Wriggle?! I've heard she's been being a pest anyway!!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Mukyuu!"
>"W, wouldn't it be better to take this out on Wriggle?! I've heard she's been being a pest anyway!!"

>Marisa cackles; and even Sanae-slows down from her half-hearted beating to laugh.
>"Wriggle didn't drink it from it and get people germs in it!" Suwako shouts, futilely trying to kick at you despite there being well over two yards of space between you. "And I'm not convinced you didn't take it to begin with!"

>_

[Seian Verian]

> "I'd like you to take a drink of this and not need SOMETHING to wash it down!"
> Throw Hot sauce at Suwako

[Hello Purvis]

> "I'd like you to take a drink of this and not need SOMETHING to wash it down!"
> Throw Hot sauce at Suwako

>You throw the hot sauce at Suwako. The bottle bounces of her chest and falls to the ground. "Hey!" Sanae shouts, and gives you a good whack to the head. Suwako struggles all the harder to get free and mangle you.

[Pesco]

> What the hell is going on?!?!

[Seian Verian]

> "Gah, I've had enough!"
> Take out Lava Cromlech
> "Unless you want things to really get explosive, CALM DOWN!"

[Hello Purvis]

> What the hell is going on?!?!

>Read the log, nub.

> "Gah, I've had enough!"
> Take out Lava Cromlech
> "Unless you want things to really get explosive, CALM DOWN!"

>"Well I ain't done giving it to you!" Suwako shouts.
>You produce Lava Cromlech and make your declaration.
>"Bring it, flyshit!" Suwako replies, "You've gonna call me Keine, because I'ma take you to school!"
>"Put that away and mind your manners!" Sanae says, giving you a very cross look.

>_

[Seian Verian]

> "Mind my manners?! That's rather odd coming from someone who has been attacking me for no reason other than the orders of someone who is apparently a child in both appearance and mentality! Stop beating me with that broom, and I won't have to do anything, but get her to calm down!"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Mind my manners?! That's rather odd coming from someone who has been attacking me for no reason other than the orders of someone who is apparently a child in both appearance and mentality! Stop beating me with that broom, and I won't have to do anything, but get her to calm down!"

>"Tell me to disobey my deities again and Suwako-sama won't need to worry about kicking your ass!" Sanae shouts back.
>"Patchy," says Marisa, "You know that love is the greatest power."

>_

[Seian Verian]

> "Are you offering to give some tough love to Suwako by sparking her? Because I don't see much other option to deal with a spoiled brat and her slave!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well," says Marisa, "Not throwing things and screaming at people who can't presently hurt you, or threatening them with spellcards would be a good start, I think."

>_

[Seian Verian]

> "That started because they wouldn't listen in the first place..."
> Grab Sanae's broom in the middle of her next strike
> "Seriously, this isn't helping"

[Fightest]

> Remember that causing a commotion inside someone's house that you just barged into is very rude and beneath you.
> Put away spellcards and hot sauce.
> "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. We have gotten off to a bad start. Peace?"
> Extend hand to Suwako, hoping she gets the idea.

[Hello Purvis]

> "That started because they wouldn't listen in the first place..."
> Grab Sanae's broom in the middle of her next strike
> "Seriously, this isn't helping"

>"And how did it improve anything?"
>You try to grab Sanae's broom. This puts you in a position of trying to overpower Sanae. In theory, this wouldn't be hard. Unfortunately, you are Patchouli and acts of beef are not your forte. Instead you just hurt your fingers a bit.

> Remember that causing a commotion inside someone's house that you just barged into is very rude and beneath you.
> Put away spellcards and hot sauce.
> "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. We have gotten off to a bad start. Peace?"
> Extend hand to Suwako, hoping she gets the idea.

>What would Remilia have said, if she say this?
>You put away your spellcard and reclaim the hotsauce.
>Suwako slows her struggling for a moment. "I want proof that Wriggle did it and not you!"
>You extend a hand. The fact Suwako doesn't try to kick it suggests it's at least accepted in spirit.

[Fightest]

> "I have a rock-solid alibi: Sakuya, Lady Remilia and Hong Meilin will attest that I have not left the Scarlet Mansion's library for weeks. Not like I'd want to in the first place."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I have a rock-solid alibi: Sakuya, Lady Remilia and Hong Meilin will attest that I have not left the Scarlet Mansion's library for weeks. Not like I'd want to in the first place."

>"The theft took place this morning," says Sanae. "Can you account for that?"
>"And you still bought stolen stuff and ruined it!" says Suwako. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to get frog oil?!"
>You know that frog oil isn't that hard to get. Annoying, perhaps, because you have to catch frogs, but it's not hard to squeeze the oil out.

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>"Yes. I was in the mansion until about midday."
>"No, it seems easy to get the oil..."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes. I was in the mansion until about midday."
>"No, it seems easy to get the oil..."

>"Not if you're not trying to kill the frogs, it isn't!" Suwako shouts while flailing again. You suspect it's less directed at you than in general frustration.
>"Well I suppose we can ask them," says Sanae, after Suwako finishes her outburst. "But in the meantime, what do we do about this situation?"
>"Curse her!" says Suwako.

>_

[Fightest]

> Recall your expert acting abilities.
> Burst into tears.
> Incoherently splutter something about just wanting to read your books in peace.
> Stealthily gauge everyone's reactions.

[Hello Purvis]

> Recall your expert acting abilities.
> Burst into tears.
> Incoherently splutter something about just wanting to read your books in peace.
> Stealthily gauge everyone's reactions.

>Being an unsocial shut-in, you never got all that good at acting. Nor are you really able to burst into tears on command. But you do you best to fake holding back a sob.
>It's pretty obvious Suwako isn't buying it. But Sanae seems at least a little convinced. "Well, maybe not curse her...as such..." she says.

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Tearfully plead that you didn't do it, and that you know who did it.

[Toasty]

>Mention cirno hasn't been seen lately

[E-Nazrin]

>and offer to help find her and/or Wriggle for mutual purposes

[Snaka]

>Mukyuu as loud as you can to get everyones attention
>Walk off to find kanako
>If the others follow, tell them not to
>If they dont, then use "error sign: blue screen of death"
