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

[Kasu]

> Reimu:  GIVE CHASE.
> Eiki:  Check on Yuyuko.  Then wonder what to do.

[Hello Purvis]

>Unwisdom of the Elder Tortoise: Dodge, chase! "Now I'm grinding your face in the dirt for that one!"
>Shiki: Give Yuyuko a hug.

[Blitzer]

> Reimu:  GIVE CHASE.

>Unwisdom of the Elder Tortoise: Dodge, chase! "Now I'm grinding your face in the dirt for that one!"

>As Reimu, you graze the...not-danmaku. Wait, this isn't danmaku, but actual sword beams?
>"Really."
>Establishing new combat system. Would you like to attack with physical attacks, magic attacks, defend, inflict status ailments, bestow status buffs, or heal?

> Eiki:  Check on Yuyuko.  Then wonder what to do.

>Shiki: Give Yuyuko a hug.

>She's crying her face out. You wonder what to do, and decide to give her a hug. You feel as if enough of these have been given in text adventures.

[Hello Purvis]

>ReiRei: Give her a physical attack in the way of needles!
Eiki: "It'll be alright. Don't worry..."

[Blitzer]

>ReiRei: Give her a physical attack in the way of needles!

>Your Paradigm is now Commando.
>You attack with your needles. It hits! You don't see any wounds though, just a number. "103."
>Youmu retaliates by shooting some generic arrowhead danmaku.

>Eiki: "It'll be alright. Don't worry..."

>She says nothing, but only sobs some more.

>The voice in your head mutters "RPG elements. In Gensokyo. Ah well, the parser does whatever he's familiar with."

[Hello Purvis]

>MuMu: Dodge them bullets, make with more needling!
>Shiki: "Just let it all out..."

[Blitzer]

>MuMu: Dodge them bullets, make with more needling!

>You graze the bullets. How trivial.
>You attack with the needles. More strange, out-of-thin-air numbers appears, this time "115."
>Some words appear over Youmu's head: "Guilt"
>At that time, Youmu slashes air, this time creating a hole around you. It looks like a hole in the fabric of reality (or some other crap like that) but it isn't. Something tells you this hole is Not Good?. And presumably, that doesn't mean she's feeling guilt right now.

>Shiki: "Just let it all out..."

>"I...*sob*...already...*sob*...am. I...*cries* can't believe...*cries*...how right she was."

[Kasu]

> Judy:  Rub Yuyuko's back to show support.

[Blitzer]

> Judy:  Rub Yuyuko's back to show support.

>You rub Yuyuko's back, She doesn't seem any more calm.

[Hello Purvis]

>Tortoise Tabulator: Get away from that hole! Then make with some needles to Youmu's sword arm.
>Sheik: "I think Reimu's right. She's...not thinking properly."

[Blitzer]

>Tortoise Tabulator: Get away from that hole! Then make with some needles to Youmu's sword arm.

>You run the hell away from the hole. The hole explodes!
>Youmu runs even farther, this time turning left. She shoots some boring old grazable danmaku around the corner.

>Sheik: "I think Reimu's right. She's...not thinking properly."

>"...You..*cries*...think so?"

[E-Nazrin]

>The Decider: "If nothing else, she's been blinded by her anger."

[Hello Purvis]

>Miss Hat: "Reimu mentioned the spring incident, right? I think she has a point. Would Youmu have done all that if she hated you like she said?"
>ChelonianCalibrator: "I'm about to get upset, you know!" Dodge them danmaku, give youmu a taste of the ying-yang orbs

[Blitzer]

>The Decider: "If nothing else, she's been blinded by her anger."

>"Y-you...*sob*...think so?"

>Miss Hat: "Reimu mentioned the spring incident, right? I think she has a point. Would Youmu have done all that if she hated you like she said?"

>"Th-that was before I started...mistreating her..."

>Chelonian Calibrator: "I'm about to get upset, you know!" Dodge them danmaku, give Youmu a taste of the ying-yang orbs.

>You graze the danmaku. You don't see Youmu past the corner, so you bounce the yin-yang orbs off the corner, and the numbers "128" appear where Youmu roughly is.
>"Why am I humoring you? How could I forget I had super speed?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Galapagos Gangster: "You like humor? You want something funny? Okay, how about-"
>Drop a spellcard on her. Fantasy Seal if  available.
>Night Court: "Why did you do it, anyways? I mean, wasn't it obvious if she didn't like it?"

[Blitzer]

>Galapagos Gangster: "You like humor? You want something funny? Okay, how about-"

>"Miss Hakurei, you are a joke!"
>You hear whoosh, and after that, you hear no sign of Youmu. You poke around the corner, and you don't see her anymore.

>Drop a spellcard on her. Fantasy Seal if available.

>Too late!

]
>Night Court: "Why did you do it, anyways? I mean, wasn't it obvious if she didn't like it?"

>"N-no...no it wasn't. A-and...*sob*...even if I did, I...wold never had...*cries*...known it would.. come to this."

[Hello Purvis]

>Turtle Taker: Head down the direction past that corner. "Keep running Youmu! It's only gonna make it more humiliating when I beat the piss out of you!"
>Judge Stone: Let Yuyuko pour it out.

[Blitzer]

>Turtle Taker: Head down the direction past that corner. "Keep running Youmu! It's only gonna make it more humiliating when I beat the piss out of you!"

>There is no response.

>Judge Stone: Let Yuyuko pour it out.

>"Even...*sob*...if Y-Youmu...was ac...thing out of anger...*sob*...she g-got everything...about m-me...*cries*...exactly right."

[Hello Purvis]

ReiRei: Keep going, looking for signs of Youmu.
Shiki: "How was she right?"

[Blitzer]

ReiRei: Keep going, looking for signs of Youmu.

>You walk ahead. Still no sign of Youmu. Obvious exits are South, East, and West, where East is the way you came.

Shiki: "How was she right?"

>"Everything. About me being a useless, depraved, lazy, pathetic, failure of a princess that abuses her position, doesn't give back, and is unloved."
>You note the lack of "*cries*", "*sobs*", and "...."s between words. She is still crying though.

[Hello Purvis]

>MuMu: Keep a wary eye for ambushes or other ghosts. Go east if nothing presents itself.
>Shiki: How connected is Hakugyokurou to our own work? Do we get reports and updates on it? If so, what is said about it?

[Blitzer]

>MuMu: Keep a wary eye for ambushes or other ghosts. Go east if nothing presents itself.

>No ambushes, no ghosts, nada.
>You head back, turning around the corner and thus heading north.

>Shiki: How connected is Hakugyokurou to our own work? Do we get reports and updates on it? If so, what is said about it?

>Well, you send souls to the Netherworld, which are then managed by Hakugyokurou. Specifically, you appointed Yuyuko to do so.
>You do get reports and updates on it, but you don't think that anything important has happened in the past several years. Except that ghostly emigration project you did.

[Hello Purvis]

>ReiRei: Linger near the corner a bit; listen for Youmu.
>Shiki: "She's wrong. I've not gotten a single bad report about you. You are not a failure."
>Objective facts based on evidence, surely we can say these without too much doubt.

[Blitzer]

>ReiRei: Linger near the corner a bit; listen for Youmu.

>You linger. You don't see, hear, smell, touch, or taste Youmu. Maybe she escaped with her super speed.

>Shiki: "She's wrong. I've not gotten a single bad report about you. You are not a failure."
>Objective facts based on evidence, surely we can say these without too much doubt.

>"Y-y-you think so...? *brr!*"

[Hello Purvis]

>ReiRei: Mark Youmu down for an asskickin', mental calculate the interest rate.
>Shiki: "I know so. If you were a failure, you would be replaced."

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Heaven Hell Hammer: wonder what a "bbr" is. Ponder if Komachi would be able to ferry Yuyuko over Higan, if Yuyuko went their. "At very minimum, I have not gotten any reports suggesting that your not doing your job, which tells me your not a failure at your job."
> Meimu Slayer: head back towards Yuyuko, be ready to use Fantasy Seal or Fantasy Heaven.

[Blitzer]

>ReiRei: Mark Youmu down for an asskickin', mental calculate the interest rate.

>Youmu is now a target. Quest added. For Reimu.

> Meimu Slayer: head back towards Yuyuko, be ready to use Fantasy Seal or Fantasy Heaven.

>You head back towards Yuyuko. Looks like Shikieiki's been busy consoling Yuyuko.

>Shiki: "I know so. If you were a failure, you would be replaced."

"At very minimum, I have not gotten any reports suggesting that your not doing your job, which tells me your not a failure at your job."

>"T-t-thanks...Shikieiki."

> Heaven Hell Hammer: wonder what a "bbr" is.

>"bbr" has now been replaced with "brr". And it was a Shout Out to this.
>What "bbr"? It looked like she was chilly. As strange as that is.

Ponder if Komachi would be able to ferry Yuyuko over Higan, if Yuyuko went their.

>You consider this. Yuyuko is a ghost, albeit a ghost that's already in the netherworld, so you think she could cross over.

[Hello Purvis]

>Judgment Day: "So, chin up, Yuyuko. Youmu wasn't right about everything, and I get the feeling she doesn't really mean it all. But, when the time is right, you do need to apologize to her."

[Blitzer]

>Judgment Day: "So, chin up, Yuyuko. Youmu wasn't right about everything, and I get the feeling she doesn't really mean it all. But, when the time is right, you do need to apologize to her."

>She's calming down.
>"But of course, s-she wasn't wrong...about everything."

[MysTeariousYukari]

> The hammer of Loving Judgement: "Yuyuko, if you think Youmu was telling the truth about you, then the best thing to do, may in fact be to try and change so those things are wrong, or at least, less right."
> Ask the voice, mentally "You have caused me to doubt if I can Judge properly, is that what you wished to happen? Or do you wish for something else from me?"
> Anti-Meimu: consider which is closer, Youkai Mountain, the Underground City/Palace of Earth Spirits or the SDM.
