(Shiki)Eiki Quest the 1st - Text Adventure of the Demonic Eye

[Hello Purvis]

>Grand Yuyutons: "Well, you must know something thing that the Yama can do to help fend off this invader. Or at least something to allow her more of a measure of control. Aren't feats of mentalism rather second nature for you?"

[Blitzer]

>Grand Yuyutons: "Well, you must know something thing that the Yama can do to help fend off this invader. Or at least something to allow her more of a measure of control. Aren't feats of mentalism rather second nature for you?"

>"If I knew something that could help, I would have mentioned it by now."

[Hello Purvis]

>Mount Everyuyu: "Do you really have no-"
>Doctor Deschampisa: "Just let it go, Yuyuko. She says she cannot help, and there's no reason to presume she is lying or dancing around the truth. I am certain she wouldn't hold back if we're willing to assist her own kin without any prompting or promise of reward. Let's just go."

>"Orin, can you show them the door?"
>Orin, who has been silently standing in the corner for most of this conversation, nods. She goes to the door and beckons you to come.

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow!
>Iguana Investigator: Grumble!

[Blitzer]

>Follow!

>You follow Orin out of the door.
>"If it won't take too much time, can you please explain to me what's going on?"

>Iguana Investigator: Grumble!

>Dammit, no information. Not much, anyways.

[Hello Purvis]

>Yuyuko Ventre Range: "It's simple at heart. Some horrible people has been plaguing our Yama with nightmares, which has caused unnatural doubts to creep up on her. These people, or at least one of them, also periodically taunts her. Lately, it's claimed that it'll be after your Koishi next. We'd like to stop it, or catch it in the act at least, so that we may express our extraordinary displeasure with its recent life decisions. I was rather hoping your Satori had a way or two to help the Yama hinder it."
>Turtle Trampler: "It's also got its hooks in Reisen and Youmu; Reisen's pretty much declared war on the Moon now, and Youmu's up and flipped her lid."

>The voice sighs. "Nine. That's quite an oversimplification. And you really don't have any proof that I'm multiple people, do you?"
>"But...what could it want with Koishi?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Guadayuyuko Mountains: Shrug
>Deschampisa Drive: "It mentioned something about disapproving of calling someone a traitor. Given its penchant for misdirection, I would be hesitant to put much stock in this."

[Blitzer]

>Guadayuyuko Mountains: Shrug
>Deschampisa Drive: "It mentioned something about disapproving of calling someone a traitor. Given its penchant for misdirection, I would be hesitant to put much stock in this."

>"But...that actually happened."

[Hello Purvis]

>Deschampisa Dame: "Not that it didn't happen, but that this would be its real motivation."

[Blitzer]

>Deschampisa Dame: "Not that it didn't happen, but that this would be its real motivation."

>"Oh. I see. You think it would interfere with Gensokyo in other ways?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh. I see. You think it would interfere with Gensokyo in other ways?"

>Haddingyuyu Range: "Well, it only makes sense, given what it does and what you're Koishi does. I imagine she'd be in a very good place to stand in the way."

[Blitzer]

>Haddingyuyu Range: "Well, it only makes sense, given what it does and what you're Koishi does. I imagine she'd be in a very good place to stand in the way."

>She nods. "What are these nightmares like?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Deschampisa Daemonette: We've probably got this story down to a preferred version by now; and more people on the lookout won't hurt. Give her the preferred version.

[Blitzer]

>Deschampisa Daemonette: We've probably got this story down to a preferred version by now; and more people on the lookout won't hurt. Give her the preferred version.

>Wait, are you trying to tell her the whole story about the nightmares, or are you trying to tell her what these nightmares are like?

[Hello Purvis]

>What they are like, as much as we can be accurate and preserve some shame.

[Blitzer]

>What they are like, as much as we can be accurate and preserve some shame.

>"Oh...that's pretty bad. Horrible, even. ...Though I don't know how Koishi will be affected by it. Not that she won't."

[Hello Purvis]

>Deschampisa Dancer: Nod.
>Newt Nerfer: Try to recall how we got out of here the last time.

>_

[Blitzer]

>Deschampisa Dancer: Nod.

>So you do.

>Newt Nerfer: Try to recall how we got out of here the last time.

>You think you got out the way you came without any conflicts. You probably weren't attacked when you were going out because you beat the crap out of everybody you passed through to get here...

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow dat cat.

[Blitzer]

>Follow dat cat.

>She leads you to the door which you came in. She opens the door slowly and says "Good-bye."

[Hello Purvis]

>Tortoise Terrorist: "Yeah, you too."
>Exeunt!

[Blitzer]

>Tortoise Terrorist: "Yeah, you too."
>Exeunt!

>You exit the mansion.
>Obvious roadways are straight ahead, left, and right, where straight ahead is the way you came.

[Hello Purvis]

>Visually examine all pathways.

[Blitzer]

>Visually examine all pathways.

>All pathways seems to be made of stone bricks.
>To your left and right, you can see several disheleved oni huts which, for some, reason, are all neatly lined up in a row. You swear you heard some glass breaking to your left...
>To your front, you can see several side streets like before, as well as a main road that is attacked to all of those pthways. You see several non-notable stores.

[Hello Purvis]

>Lizard Lancer: Start heading out.
>Absoyuyu Range: Pause, listen for something to follow that sound of shattering glass.

[Blitzer]

>Lizard Lancer: Start heading out.

>You are already outside of the mansion. Orin closes the door behind you.

>Absoyuyu Range: Pause, listen for something to follow that sound of shattering glass.

>You hear a distant "THUNK!"

[Hello Purvis]

>What sort of thunk? As in, what did it seem to be hitting?

[Blitzer]

>What sort of thunk? As in, what did it seem to be hitting?

>The thunk that comes from an empty jug of alcohol hitting the road.
