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

[E-Nazrin]

>Armpits: "The hell makes you think that?"
>Wait, wouldn't that be right toward Heaven? That... doesn't make much sense. Unless they're getting framed?

[Blitzer]

>Height of Lethe: "Why, isn't it obvious? Our puppet master is in that direction."

>Reisen responds "Ah...so you mean the one who's responsible for the nightmares is in that direction?"
>Reimu says "But there's nothing there!"

>Armpits: "The hell makes you think that?"

>Yuyuko resaponds "Ah...I can vaguely detect the influence of outside forces. But I don't know how far it would be."

>Turtle Terrorizer: Apply that to the mentating.

>The only place that could be that way would be Heaven...

>Wait, wouldn't that be right toward Heaven? That... doesn't make much sense. Unless they're getting framed?

>That's strange...maybe the perpetrator is in Heaven, not framing Heaven?

[Hello Purvis]

>Great Big Pillowy Mounds of Death: "Well, we can see that for ourselves, don't you think? Come along now, Yama. Miss Reisen, would you kindly defer our meeting with Eirin a bit? I think it would be much better to follow this, don't you? I'll expect you to catch up."
>Presuming no protests, keep following it.

[Blitzer]

>Great Big Pillowy Mounds of Death: "Well, we can see that for ourselves, don't you think? Come along now, Yama. Miss Reisen, would you kindly defer our meeting with Eirin a bit? I think it would be much better to follow this, don't you? I'll expect you to catch up."

>"I'll have to let Eirin know first. It would be strange if we just left."

[Hello Purvis]

>Home of Spectacle Rock: "Isn't that what I just said? Do try to catch up when you're done."
>Offward! Take Shikieiki by the arm and drag her along, if needs be.

[Blitzer]

>Home of Spectacle Rock: "Isn't that what I just said? Do try to catch up when you're done."

>Reisen shrugs and walks inside.

>Offward! Take Shikieiki by the arm and drag her along, if needs be.

>You grab Eiki. She looks somewhat annoyed. But only somewhat.

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow that trail!

[Blitzer]

>Follow that trail!

>You don't think you're going to be able to find your way back. Anyways, you fly up...and up...and up...you fly directly over Youkai Mountain. Reimu says "I'm tired of flying. Are you sure the one responsible is that way?"

[Hello Purvis]

>You don't think you're going to be able to find your way back. Anyways, you fly up...and up...and up...you fly directly over Youkai Mountain. Reimu says "I'm tired of flying. Are you sure the one responsible is that way?"

>Ridges of Demise: Do we still feel it in this direction.
>If so: "Oh Reimu, you must learn to have faith in others!"

[Blitzer]

>Ridges of Demise: Do we still feel it in this direction.

>Hmm...yes, it's there all right.

>If so: "Oh Reimu, you must learn to have faith in others!"

>Reimu responds "Whatever'll stop this mini-incident."
>Reisen flies over from behind you and says "Did I miss anything?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Mount Doom: Smile, "See, it isn't so hard, is it?"
>To Reisen: "My, you really do live up to the speedy stereotype, don't you?"
>Shiki: "You've not missed anything."
>Onwards!

[Blitzer]

>Mount Doom: Smile, "See, it isn't so hard, is it?"

>Maybe you should try thinking nicknames for Yuyuko which dn't involve the size of her breasts.
>Reimu sighs.

>To Reisen: "My, you really do live up to the speedy stereotype, don't you?"

>"There's a speedy stereotype?"

>Shiki: "You've not missed anything."

>"That's good. I suppose you're just going straight?"

>Onwards!

>You keep flying. You fly over the clouds, but there doesn't seem to be any floathing islands nearby. You keep going...and going...and going...
>Reimu complains "I can barely breathe."
>Reisen comments "Maybe we should go down now. I guess this creature really is out of this world..."

[Hello Purvis]

>Geology is more fun than gluttony.
>Butte Force: "Rabbits, Reisen dear."
>Shiki: "Are we getting any closer?"
>And does Shiki need to breathe?
>Tortoise Tackler: Consider lunar knowledges; which we'd need for festival plannings; would we be heading in the general direction of the moon or any other celestial object at the moment? Are we high enough to hit Bhava-Agra?

>_

[Blitzer]

>Geology is more fun than gluttony.

>Hahaha.

>Butte Force: "Rabbits, Reisen dear."

>"Oh yes..."

>Shiki: "Are we getting any closer?"

>Yuyuko says "I don't know...I can't make distance judgments. I think we are getting closer, though."

>And does Shiki need to breathe?

>You do neeed to breathe. You don't know how essential it is, though, as you are immortal by virtue of being a Yama.
>You examine your breathing. Yes, it is getting somewhat difficult to breathe.

>Tortoise Tackler: Consider lunar knowledges; which we'd need for festival plannings; would we be heading in the general direction of the moon or any other celestial object at the moment? Are we high enough to hit Bhava-Agra?

>The moon would have been in the other direction you were going. There are no celestial objects you're heading to right now.
>Your altitude is much higher than Bhava-Agra's right now.

[Hello Purvis]

>Yamamamamama: Look ahead, and squint real hard. Do we see any sign of anything up ahead?

[Blitzer]

>Yamamamamama: Look ahead, and squint real hard. Do we see any sign of anything up ahead?

>You never knew that it was always night far above the sky.
>You squint. You don't see very much...but there seems to be a moving glass platform very, very, very, very far ahead. It soon disappears.
>Reimu and Reisen gasp for air. Reimu says "Maybe...we should...go down now."

[Hello Purvis]

>Eiki: "Yes, that might be wise..."
>Dead Man's Bluff: "Hmmm, You're not having trouble, are you Yama? Why don't we carry on, and let those two go back down, hmm?"
>Eiki: Do we feel we can continue? If so, do it.

[Blitzer]

>Eiki: "Yes, that might be wise..."
>Dead Man's Bluff: "Hmmm, You're not having trouble, are you Yama? Why don't we carry on, and let those two go back down, hmm?"

>Reimu says "Okay, thanks." and shoots back down. Reisen goes back down as well.

>Eiki: Do we feel we can continue? If so, do it.

>You think you can continue.

[Hello Purvis]

>Slopes of the void: "Now Yama dear, you must let me know if you have problems, too."
>Yamada: "Of course."
>Follow that trail!

[Blitzer]

>Slopes of the void: "Now Yama dear, you must let me know if you have problems, too."
>Yamada: "Of course."
>Follow that trail!

>You don't go very far before you realize there is almost no air to breathe. Now, being immortal, you can still survive, but it's very painful. Yuyuko doesn't seem affected at all, but that's probably because she's a ghost.

[Hello Purvis]

>Eiki: "Air..."
>Rockies: "Well, fudge."
>Look around, while gesturing for Shiki to descend. Is there anything of interest here, or any sign of a cause for this issue?
>Can Yuyuko sense anything as Shiki gets further away?

[Blitzer]

>Eiki: "Air..."
>Rockies: "Well, fudge."
>Look around, while gesturing for Shiki to descend. Is there anything of interest here, or any sign of a cause for this issue?

>Eiki descends.
>You look around. Very, very far ahead, you see a glass platform. But it soon disappears into blackness.

>Can Yuyuko sense anything as Shiki gets further away?

>You can stilll sense the direction of...wait a minute, your sense is getting scrambled! It's pointing at several random directions now.

[Hello Purvis]

>Mount Orthys: After that platform!
>Shiki: Descend back into the atmosphere, try to rejoin the others.

[Blitzer]

>Mount Orthys: After that platform!

>You have no idea where the platform is at all. Your senses are scrambled and the platform is out of sight.

>Shiki: Descend back into the atmosphere, try to rejoin the others.

>You descend into the atmosphere, gasping for air as you do. You can make out Reimu and Reisen down below. They're still flying down.

[Hello Purvis]

>Death Mountain: "You really are quite worried about me, aren't you? As well you should be."
>Descend.
>Eiki: Catch up to the others.

[Blitzer]

>Death Mountain: "You really are quite worried about me, aren't you? As well you should be."
>Descend.

>You go down. You don't quite catch up to the others yet.

>Eiki: Catch up to the others.

>With a burst of speed, you catch up to Reimu and Reisen. Reimu asks "Did you find anything?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Eiki: Shake head and catch breath. Wait for Yuyuko to return.

[Blitzer]

>Eiki: Shake head and catch breath. Wait for Yuyuko to return.

>"Aggh. I can't wait to find out what did it..."
>Yuyuko eventually returns and you all continue descending.

[Hello Purvis]

>Peaks of Oblivion: "Well, I saw something curious. There was a glass platform up there. But it quite wisely disappeared before I could reach it. Does that sound familiar to any of you?"
>Now that she's close to the afflicted again, can Yuyuko sense that presence again?

[Blitzer]

>Peaks of Oblivion: "Well, I saw something curious. There was a glass platform up there. But it quite wisely disappeared before I could reach it. Does that sound familiar to any of you?"

>Reisen says "Nope, haven't seen anything like it before. Not even in my nightmares."
>Eiki says "Same here."

>Now that she's close to the afflicted again, can Yuyuko sense that presence again?

>Nope, your senses are still confused.
