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

[Hello Purvis]

>"...Let's just see where you found those mushrooms already."

[Neovereign]

>"...Let's just see where you found those mushrooms already."

> "Hehehe..." Marisa starts to head off.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow that Magician!

[Neovereign]

>Follow that Magician!

> You follow Marisa.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep following her until she actually gets where we're going or something happens?

[Tashi]

>Keep following her until she actually gets where we're going or something happens?

//This kind of command is what would have helped to shorten those past moments of 'continuecontinuecontinue---...' Ah, sorry about those, parser :fail:

>Keep following her until she actually gets where we're going or something happens?

//This kind of command is what would have helped to shorten those past moments of 'continuecontinuecontinue---...' Ah, sorry about those, parser :fail:

//It's fine.
> You continue...
> Your group arrives back at the site where you've seen the mushrooms. Marisa starts to search.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>While Marisa searches, let's have a look at the site in general; noting soil conditions, the types of trees around, how bad the undergrowth is, presence of other fungi, and so on. Things we can look for in future searches for Death by Glamour Mushrooms. In particular, look for any salient or unusual features of the area.

> You start to scour the area for specifics to it, compared to other parts of the forest.

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep scouring til we either get a good idea of said specifics or something interesting is found/happens.

> You continue.
> "Found a couple more." You hear Marisa as she comes into view.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Lemme see them before you pick them."
>Make our way over toward her carefully, care not to stomp them.

[Neovereign]

>"Lemme see them before you pick them."
>Make our way over toward her carefully, care not to stomp them.

> You head over and check.
> Marisa is near a pair of mushrooms similar to the one you ate. They're close together, as if growing together.
>_

[Tashi]

> Examine the mushrooms. How do they look, again?
> Are they joined or just very near each other?

[Neovereign]

> Examine the mushrooms. How do they look, again?
> Are they joined or just very near each other?

> The mushroom looks tall in skinny. They have simple red caps. It's a bit like they're joined near the base, it seems.
>_

[Tashi]

> "Maybe these ones might have special properties if they are like this. More larger effects, if any?"

[Neovereign]

> "Maybe these ones might have special properties if they are like this. More larger effects, if any?"

> "They're usually like this." Marisa says. "Haven't noticed any differences when it's not."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Examine the soil and general conditions surrounding these two mushrooms.
>"I wonder if more of them will pop up overnight, like with more common mushrooms?"

[Neovereign]

>Examine the soil and general conditions surrounding these two mushrooms.
>"I wonder if more of them will pop up overnight, like with more common mushrooms?"

> You examine and make sure to try and keep it in mind...
> "Well, at least we have two."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"Do you think there may be more to be found?"

[Neovereign]

>Nod.
>"Do you think there may be more to be found?"

> Marisa shrugs.
> "Hopefully."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod
>"Let see what we can find then. We certainly want to leave a couple to...spore? Sporing is what mushrooms do, isn't it?"
>See if we can pick out any more from our heightened vantage point.

[Neovereign]

>Nod

>See if we can pick out any more from our heightened vantage point.

> Marisa nods.
> "Seems like you're getting into it."
> You do not see any others within your field of view as you look around.

[Tashi]

> "I'm not a mushroom expert wannabe, but I do admit that you grasped my attention with all of this, so I guess this basic knowledge of mushrooms was worth it."
> "Hm... What do you think if I task several dolls to search as well? Like that, we could cover more terrain."

> "I'm surprised you haven't already."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I was paying more attention to the surroundings," I say.
>"Shanghai, Hourai, would you please look around for mushrooms like those?"

[Neovereign]

>"I was paying more attention to the surroundings," I say.
>"Shanghai, Hourai, would you please look around for mushrooms like those?"

> The two dolls nod, heading off in separate directions.

[Hello Purvis]

>"We'll let them work for now. We don't need too many cooks spoiling the broth, so to speak, just yet."

[Neovereign]

>"We'll let them work for now. We don't need too many cooks spoiling the broth, so to speak, just yet."

> "So what to do while we wait?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, you're the mushroom expert. Does anything leap out at you about the environment they're growing in?"
