Patchy Quest Again: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Serela]

>Wait out the battle
>Afterwards, tell Reimu about the Sun incident without in any way incriminating yourself, in fact, making you look GOOD because you stopped Yuka. Let Utsuho, Nitori, and Alice (Hourai helped) sound good too~

[Chaore]

>Don't be entirely dishonest though. It'll just not end well.

[Serela]

>Yeah, don't be dishonest. Just leave out anything that makes you sound bad.

[Hello Purvis]

>Wait out the battle
>Afterwards, tell Reimu about the Sun incident without in any way incriminating yourself, in fact, making you look GOOD because you stopped Yuka. Let Utsuho, Nitori, and Alice (Hourai helped) sound good too~

>Don't be entirely dishonest though. It'll just not end well.

>Yeah, don't be dishonest. Just leave out anything that makes you sound bad.

>It takes awhile for the battle to wind down, but the result isn't terribly surprising; Marisa came looking for a nice cool place to relax; Reimu came prepared to solve an incident. Marisa just didn't bring all her cards with her.
>Reimu lands in front of you, rather battered-looking on her own. "Spill it." she says simply.
>You detail the events from your trip to the sun as well as you can without incriminating yourself. The Sun clearly got messed up by Yuka's meddling. Poor Hourai took a Master Spark to stop her. And if it weren't for Nitori's quick thinking, Utsuho lending ahand, and so on...
>"So you were there to see it, then?" Reimu asks. She gives you a look. "And you're sure you weren't urged to be there by someone who...say...has a personal issue with daylight?"

>_

[Serela]

>"Of course not! Everyone has been distressed by the heatwave that's been occurring. And I'm sure Miss Remilia wants the sun back as well; it impacts many more things then just whether she can go outside or not, and she knows that. All the plants will die... Gensokyo will go into an Ice Age... the list goes on and on. Neither I nor her would want such a thing to happen."

[Chaore]

>Hope to god Remilia doesn't fly by in ecstacy at being able to go outside.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Of course not! Everyone has been distressed by the heatwave that's been occurring.

Gensokyo will go into an Ice Age... the list goes on and on. Neither I nor her would want such a thing to happen."

>"Alright, just checking," says Reimu. "Let's go see what Nitori and the others are up to."

>Hope to god Remilia doesn't fly by in ecstacy at being able to go outside.

>That would be so embarrassing on more levels can you could count...

>_

[Serela]

>Go with Reimu to see Nitori
>Ask Reimu if she knows where any Secret Items might be

[Hello Purvis]

>Go with Reimu to see Nitori
>Ask Reimu if she knows where any Secret Items might be

>You follow Reimu back to kappa town. Thankfully, Remilia appear to do anything that would ruin your credibility, despite your very well grounded fears, but at one point you do see Letty fly past overhead crying, "Wheeeeee!"
>"Not heard anything since the last time you asked," says Reimu when you inquire about secret items.
>You return to Nitori's warehouse. Nitori is peering through a large telescope she set up outside, while Utsuho paces anxiously behind her. Utsuho looks over, and her eyes widen. "It wasn't me! It wasn' tme!" she cries. "I swear it wasn't me!"

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>"It had nothing to do with Utsuho, obviously. I was, however, hoping, that you'd allow her to make a new sun?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"It had nothing to do with Utsuho, obviously. I was, however, hoping, that you'd allow her to make a new sun?"

>"You're just going to replace it, right?" Reimu asks.
>"Of course, of course!" Utsuho answers.
>Reimu nods, and presses on. "And you're going to put it back in the sky where it goes?"
>"That's why I got the telescope out," says Nitori, "Trying to track the right spot."
>"And you're not going to go mad with power again and make me have to take time out of my day to beat sense into you?" says Reimu. Nitori looks back at Utsuho as well.
>"...I don't think so," says Utsuho at length.
>"Fine, knock yourself out," says Reimu. "Just don't trying any legalist word-bending, okay? I was having a good day."
>"Found it!" Nitori says, yielding the telescope over to Utsuho.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>"If it makes you feel any better, Reimu, we'll do our best to prevent any unprecedented serious affairs before you have to get called in. We did managed to kick Yuka's ass at least "
>Mukyu

[Hello Purvis]

>"If it makes you feel any better, Reimu, we'll do our best to prevent any unprecedented serious affairs before you have to get called in. We did managed to kick Yuka's ass at least "
>Mukyu

>Reimu nods. "Yeah , I gotta admit, that was pretty handy of you."
>You Mukyu. Reimu snorts in an effort to hold back laughter. Afterwards, she giggles.
>"Okay," says Utsuho. "Try not to look right at this." And with that, she takes to the air. Within moments, she is too high up for your light to reach. This becomes less of a problem about a minute later, when a pinpoint of light flares up against the pseudo-nighttime sky.

[Janitor Morgan]

> Put on sunglasses

[UncertainJakutten]

> Put on sunglasses

No. do this right.

>"So, I suppose with this...Utsuho...
>Put on Sunglasses
>"...Reiuzis herself to the sky"
>YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH~!

[Hello Purvis]

> Put on sunglasses

No. do this right.

>"So, I suppose with this...Utsuho...
>Put on Sunglasses
>"...Reiuzis herself to the sky"
>YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH~!

>You do not have sunglasses!
>The pinpoint rapidly flares up, until it becomes too much to look at! The sky lightens a bit, a pool of blue extending out from the light and chasing away the stars. You shield your eyes as best you can with your hand, as the flare blossoms into a new Sun, then zips off toward the horizon. If only you have put on your Pair of Black Glasses, could could have seen the rest!
>Once you are able to overcome your eyes being dazzled, you can see the new Sun is in place, and things seem as though they were never different to begin with. Also, it seems that sunset is close at hand.
>You see a green, white and black thing fall out of the sky, and hit the roof of Nitori's warehouse with a loud thump. The sounds that follow suggest that object broke through the roof.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> I couldn't think of a way to make a good CSI Miami reference there. >_>
> Go check on Utsuho
> Make a mental note to drop by Shou's store and Alice's house on the way back to the mansion

[Hello Purvis]

> I couldn't think of a way to make a good CSI Miami reference there. >_>
> Go check on Utsuho
> Make a mental note to drop by Shou's store and Alice's house on the way back to the mansion

>You and Nitori head into the warehouse. You see that Utsuho has fallen through the roof and onto a table, which has broken from the impact. She seems to have been knocked unconscious. Despite this, she is wearing a huge, goofy grin.
>Shou's Clothes is not on the way back to the mansion at all!

>_

[Serela]

>"Ahh... well... everything is fine now, so I suppose its time for me to be heading off."
>Go to Kourindou, must get sekrit disguise before we forget. If its still there, ask Rinnosuke what he wants for it

[Hello Purvis]

>"Ahh... well... everything is fine now, so I suppose its time for me to be heading off."
>Go to Kourindou, must get sekrit disguise before we forget. If its still there, ask Rinnosuke what he wants for it

>You head off before you get roped into something else.
>You arrive at Kourindou. Rinnosuke seems to be having an early dinner at the moment. He gives you a friendly gesture with his chopsticks.

> Considering that we TRADED the Agni spell cards ourselves, and that we've already talked to Rinnosuke about the book, we can safely not do any of this.
> We can also wait until we examine what's in the store sufficiently before to trade for the Secret Disguise.
> How is Rinnosuke supposed to know what belongs to us and was stolen anyway?  Do you propose we write our name on everything we own?  Most of it is actually Remilia's anyway.
