Patchy Quest Moreso: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> To Kaguya, "True...I'll have to come up with another idea."
> To Cirno, "But the lyrics proclaim the singer as strong. You are the strongest, right?"

>Kaguya nods, and gives you an encouraging smile.
>"Hell yeah, I am!" says Cirno. "But I'm also hardcore like a diamond!"

>If Cirno still refuses, sing Banson's Aria yourself. You might get Lunasa and Kaguya to support you.

>You decide to show Cirno what's what, and set into singing Banson's Aria yourself! Lunasa quickly sets to backing you up, clearly pleased to have anything else to play.
>You manage to get about two lines in before your voice gives and you're left breathless. Even on a good day, there are some things you just can't pull off,
>Cirno cackles.

>If we haven't already, ask the Flail of Cirnobyl about Jeff K Anon. (By which I mean Cirno, though possibly mention that weapon in passing)

>You're too busy trying to get your breath and voice back at the moment.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Claim that the song is so hardcore that Cirno couldn't possibly sing it, and goad her into trying it.

[Jana]

>Cough in a moe manner to force a bit of air into your throat before talking to Cirno. (A moe cough won't harm the voicebox like a forceful cough.)

>Ah, that's better.

> Claim that the song is so hardcore that Cirno couldn't possibly sing it, and goad her into trying it.

>"Yeah, like I'm going to fall for that," says Cirno. "I'm no punk!"

[Janitor Morgan]

> "All right then..."
> Show Cirno Ultimate Truth
> Perhaps Yukari is another candidate for the Eighth Force, seeing as her name means purple?

[Rin Kagamine]

> Put off talking to Yukari for as loooooooooooooong as possible.
> Bring Murasa up to the stage.  Whisper to her "Start singing this song and give up after 2 lines because it's too hard.  Please?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "All right then..."
> Show Cirno Ultimate Truth
> Perhaps Yukari is another candidate for the Eighth Force, seeing as her name means purple?

>"Hey," says Cirno, listening to Ultimate Truth, "This is a good beat. I could do something with this!"
>You could ask.

> Put off talking to Yukari for as loooooooooooooong as possible.
> Bring Murasa up to the stage.  Whisper to her "Start singing this song and give up after 2 lines because it's too hard.  Please?"

>You could also do that.
>"Huh what?" Murasa says, clearly not expecting to have been called upon. "Uh...okay."
>Murasa does as you instruct, going into a rather forced-sounding coughing fit in the second line.

>"Dunno the guy," says Cirno. "He owe you some money?"

[Fightest]

>You make this proposal to Kaguya. She nods, and says, "It is an interesting plan," she says, "But Reisen would have no part of it. She considers using the rabbits in such a way mistreatment."
>_

> "Fine. Attach a heavy wheel to the rotation mechanism. In this case, the user will have to get the fan up to speed, and it will proceed to rotate by itself for a good amount of time before its kinetic energy has to be recharged."
> Consider duplicating Yukari's Perpetual Motion Device spellcard.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Challenge Cirno to do something with Ultimate Truth

> Consider duplicating Yukari's Perpetual Motion Device spellcard.

>"How long would you anticipate this to work, and how much work would it take to start it?" asks Kaguya
>You don't want to even think about messing with those cards. Yukari's stuff is so far removed from your style of magic that trying to find a way to replicate it with your skills gives you a headache.

> Challenge Cirno to do something with Ultimate Truth

>"Watch me!" says Cirno. She sets the song to play, and then...really doesn't vary from her former act. Well, to be fair, she does change her flow a bit to match with the song. But when you're only using a couple phrases, it's not all that impressive.
>"Yeah, what now?" says Cirno as the song completes, grinning proudly.

>_

[Fightest]

>"How long would you anticipate this to work, and how much work would it take to start it?" asks Kaguya
>_

> "The time it lasts is proportional to the amount of work put in. If you don't mind a bit of a workout and if we adjust the gearing cleverly, it could last for a couple dozen minutes."
> Hmm... Workout...
> Consider suggesting operating this device to Marisa. She just might do it for free. Those abs need work after all...

[E-Nazrin]

Fightest, you're a genius.

>ruffle Cirno's hair affectionately

[Hello Purvis]

>ruffle Cirno's hair affectionately

>"Hey! Lay off!" Cirno cries, backing away from your suddenly jubilant mood.

>_

[Toasty]

>Tell cirno she's the weakest.

[Kasu]

> Tell Cirno the only way she could be the strongest in our eyes is if she sings Banson's Aria.

[Hello Purvis]

>Tell cirno she's the weakest.

>"Yeah, but you can't run thirty yards without choking to death," says Cirno, "so you wouldn't know the Strongest if it crapped in your bed!"

> Tell Cirno the only way she could be the strongest in our eyes is if she sings Banson's Aria.

>"I only do hardcore stuff."

>_

[Kasu]

> Don't take offense due to the fact that you could probably waste her with your weakest spell card.

[Hello Purvis]

> Don't take offense due to the fact that you could probably waste her with your weakest spell card.

>Sometimes, you have to be kind.
>"Can I go sit down now?" asks Murasa.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Answer in the affirmative to Murasa.
> "And why do you only do hardcore stuff? If that were the case, wouldn't you have teamed up with a guitarist instead of Lunasa?"

[Fightest]

Fightest, you're a genius.

Heh, I was ready to reinvent the steam engine to get that thing going. 

> Look pointedly at Kaguya.
> "Is the device then satisfactory for me to request Bamboo Flower Essence from Eirin?"
> Wonder how you're managing to juggle two separate conversations so expertly.

[Hello Purvis]

> Answer in the affirmative to Murasa.
> "And why do you only do hardcore stuff? If that were the case, wouldn't you have teamed up with a guitarist instead of Lunasa?"

>"Good," says Murasa, as she returns to her seat and her drink.
>"Because that's how I'm real!' Cirno says, drawing herself up and giving a tooth gring. "And I got Lunasa because there's nobody that plays a guitar. Plus she needed my help."

> Look pointedly at Kaguya.
> "Is the device then satisfactory for me to request Bamboo Flower Essence from Eirin?"
> Wonder how you're managing to juggle two separate conversations so expertly.

>"A blueprint and list of materials would be nice," says Kaguya. "I would like to get started on it soon."
>Kaguya is very polite in letting Cirno say whatever she likes.

[Fightest]

> Provide Kaguya with an exploded diagram of how the individual parts of the contraption would go together, along with notes on gearing, and recommendations on how to best cut the bamboo.
> Also provide a list of ingredients - most parts can be made of wood or bamboo, rope is easily obtainable. The flywheel is the hardest part to get, but can be made from several cart wheels and pig iron sheet. Lubrication would be quite important in the system, but most oils will solve that.
> Marisa optional.

>You quickly sketch out a diagram with your pen and paper. The flywheel will be the hard part, as it getting decent oil.
>In your heart, you know Marisa is not optional.
>Kaguya places a finger on the flywheel diagram and says, "I will need you to provide this." Then she claps her hands, causing the gathered rabbits to look up in attention. She gestures at one of them, who bounces away from the courtyard. "We should be able to do the rest."

[Kasu]

> Jot down list of flywheel components and add them as a quest.
> Provide Murasa with the engineering book.

[Hello Purvis]

> Jot down list of flywheel components and add them as a quest.
> Provide Murasa with the engineering book.

>You list these items.
>"Hot damn," says Murasa. "Thank you kindly!" She flips through it for a moment, smiles, then makes her way out of the of the courtyard.

[Kasu]

> Check flywheel components list.

[Hello Purvis]

> Check flywheel components list.

>It reads: "Several cart wheels, a metal plate, fasteners."
