Maribel Quest Succeeding - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

Why did you say "Rock" again? You should have said "Paper". >_>

[DracoOmega]

>Turn around to face Kisume, in case she's still feeling fiesty

[E-Nazrin]

>Is the bucket occupied? If so, glare at the bucketloli. If not, kick the bucket aside and look for her!

[Hello Purvis]

>Turn around to face Kisume, in case she's still feeling fiesty

>Is the bucket occupied? If so, glare at the bucketloli. If not, kick the bucket aside and look for her!

>You turn to face, finding her flying off the way you came.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Call out after her: "Have a pleasant trip!"  May as well be a little facetious.
>Continue onward

[UncertainJakutten]

> Don't assume she's done
> Try to make haste away, but still remain aware of dropping bucketlolis.

[E-Nazrin]

>Don't expect her to say "rock" this time. Or anything.

[Hello Purvis]

>Call out after her: "Have a pleasant trip!"  May as well be a little facetious.
>Continue onward

>"Don't take any wooden ☼!" she says back.

> Don't assume she's done
> Try to make haste away, but still remain aware of dropping bucketlolis.

>Don't expect her to say "rock" this time. Or anything.

>You decide to err on the side of caution, and hasten away, keeping ready for any further ambushes.
>You reach the bridge without further incident. The light from the city is most welcome to your eyes. Looking around, you can see Parsee on the river banks, fishing

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Hello again, Parsee."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hello again, Parsee."

>You call out to Parsee.
>She glances up at you. "Oh, you're alright," she says.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Walk over to her
>"Yeah, I've had a few little adventures while I've been gone, but I'm in still in one piece."
>"Have Utsuho and Yuugi had it out, yet?"

[E-Nazrin]

>"Yeah, somehow. And I feel much safer now that I've picked up a few tricks."
>hover a little for her.

[Hello Purvis]

>Walk over to her
>"Yeah, I've had a few little adventures while I've been gone, but I'm in still in one piece."
>"Have Utsuho and Yuugi had it out, yet?"

>You make your way down to the river banks.
>"That's good," says Parsee, "And no, I don't think so. Well, at least there's been no explosions yet."

>"Yeah, somehow. And I feel much safer now that I've picked up a few tricks."
>hover a little for her.

>You demonstrate some flight for her. "That's pretty good," she says. "Didn't know you had it in you."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Well, neither did I until a couple hours ago. You should know better than almost anyone how the outside world works in that regard."

[E-Nazrin]

>"I didn't either, but Byakuren showed me the basics, and I've picked up a few other tricks looking around. I feel a lot safer now."
>"Do you think it'd be a good idea for me to try and talk to Utsuho, considering the circumstances?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, neither did I until a couple hours ago. You should know better than almost anyone how the outside world works in that regard."

>She nods. "Yeah, I guess. Still, it's neat you can do it."

>"I didn't either, but Byakuren showed me the basics, and I've picked up a few other tricks looking around. I feel a lot safer now."
>"Do you think it'd be a good idea for me to try and talk to Utsuho, considering the circumstances?"

>She nods. "I've never met her. But apparently she helped Okuu in the other world a bit."
>"She'd probably like that, I think."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Where do you think I could find her, now?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Where do you think I could find her, now?"

>"She'll probably be hanging around The Felt," says Parsee. "It's on the west side of town."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Ok, thanks."
>"Out of curiosity, what kind of fish can you actually catch down here? Can't say I've heard of underground fishing before."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Ok, thanks."
>"Out of curiosity, what kind of fish can you actually catch down here? Can't say I've heard of underground fishing before."

>She nods.
>"Mostly ghost fish," says Parsee. "They're pretty tasty. I figured I could do with one..."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Well, I hope you manage to catch one, then!"
>"See you around."
>Cross the bridge and head into town

[E-Nazrin]

>Muse over whether that's more or less normal than bats.
>"Good luck with it, then. I don't think I can really help with that."
>"Hey, I think I'm going to try and talk to Keine about what happened to lead to this whole situation once school lets out in the human village - would you like to come along once I'm done checking up in the underground?"

>"Hey, I think I'm going to try and talk to Keine about what happened to lead to this whole situation once school lets out in the human village - would you like to come along once I'm done checking up in the underground?"

>Well, it's fish. That's normal people food. You'd be a lot less hesitant to eat fish than bat, that's for sure.
>You wish her luck on her fishing. "Don't worry," she says, "It's just a matter of time."
>You tell her about your plans to talk with Keine. "To be perfectly honest, I don't give a shit about any of that anymore."
>With little else to say, you bid her farewell and start into town.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>Well, I guess that's one lead shelved.
>Pursue The Felt! Beware of time-travel shenanigans

[Hello Purvis]

>Well, I guess that's one lead shelved.
>Pursue The Felt! Beware of time-travel shenanigans

>All you know about the Felt is that it's to the west. As it stands, there's Bridge Street running to the North, and another along the wall that runs to the west.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Well, follow the street to the west, then

>And in case we haven't done so already, put our bag in a more comfortable and natural position

[Hello Purvis]

>Well, follow the street to the west, then

>And in case we haven't done so already, put our bag in a more comfortable and natural position

>You return your messenger bag to its usual position, confident a mugger wouldn't do well in a city full of oni.
>Heading west, you find the street is empty. But you do notice a building whose sign is simply a medical cross. A hand-lettered sign on the door reads, "Gone til XX:00." The time is literally just XX'd in. The street itself dead ends into the cavern wall, but you notice a few alleys you could slip through. Obvious exits are East.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>Hmm. That's probably the clinic. And Murasa's probably not there.
>Might as well check while we're here, though. Is the door locked?

[Kilgamayan]

> Whose territory are we currently in, again?

[Hello Purvis]

>Hmm. That's probably the clinic. And Murasa's probably not there.
>Might as well check while we're here, though. Is the door locked?

>You imagine so.
>You check the door, and find it unlocked.

> Whose territory are we currently in, again?

>This is Yuugi's side, as you recall.
