Patchy Quest Moreso: A Z-Machine Adventure

> Mention SDM's wine cellar.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Mention SDM's wine cellar.

> Mention in the sense that we can pay her in the finest wine the SDM can offer, nit that she can come visit it.

[Hello Purvis]

>Is there anything you need done that we can help with?

>"What's an oni need that we ain't down here? Food, drink, friends, a good row whenever you like. I don't need nothing else."

> Mention SDM's wine cellar.

>"Satori drinks? She always seemed a bit too straight-laced like for it."

> Mention in the sense that we can pay her in the finest wine the SDM can offer, nit that she can come visit it.

>"What kind?"

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"I'll admit that I think I'd have to check. Do you have any requests?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'll admit that I think I'd have to check. Do you have any requests?"

>"Something real zogging good," says Yuugi. "And enough of it I can pass it around to friends. Yeah, that'll do."

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> Mukyu

[Hello Purvis]

> Mukyu

>You Mukyu.
>Yuugi looks at you for a moment, blinking as though she were trying to convince herself that she were hallucinating. Then she snerks, which quickly give way sniggers, then to cackles, then to a full out howling belly laugh as she falls over backwards onto her cot, clutching her stomach. Then a bucket clocks her in the face. "Go time!" she shouts, rolling off the cot, gathering her feet under her, and springing toward another oni. It does not take long for a third to get involved, and within moments it becomes a stuff-sustaining riot.
>Ichirin produces a large metallic ring, and taps it against the wall, producing a clear chime. Then the world goes red, and you feel yourself being pushed backwards! Before you can react, you find yourself sitting outside the clinic, its interior obscured by thick red mist and the chorus of oni yells now having competition from an angry masculine rumble.
>"That's the second time that's happened since I've been here," Keine, sitting on the curbside near you, says.

[Demonbman]

>Woah, Unzan BROFIST GO!

[Jana]

I hope that wasn't a suggestion to go back into the clinic.

>Ask Keine if she's made any headway in her quest.

[E-Nazrin]

>suggest the possibility of that oh-so-convenient sun god Kanako found

[Hello Purvis]

>Woah, Unzan BROFIST GO!

>Hell yeah!

>Ask Keine if she's made any headway in her quest.

>"I've been recuperating, and trying to get some history set before the moon wanes, to be honest," Keine says. "I'm not too eager to go back into the crowded parts of town right now."

>suggest the possibility of that oh-so-convenient sun god Kanako found

>Keine shakes her head. "The anomaly wasn't down in the blazing areas."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>shake head
>"I frankly have no idea, then. Is there really any way to help, short of getting us both beaten up by stray oni?"

[Hello Purvis]

>shake head
>"I frankly have no idea, then. Is there really any way to help, short of getting us both beaten up by stray oni?"

>"Well, they are less likely to start fist fights with you," says Keine. "If you could look around and tell me if you find anything, it would be a great help."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Alright. What should I be looking for? I don't really have a 'history sense,' so to speak."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Alright. What should I be looking for? I don't really have a 'history sense,' so to speak."

>"Look for places where history seems wrong," says Keine. "Where, well, something isn't right. It's hard to tell, I suppose, but anything where there are signs that events happened differently than they should have."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

"Like me trading away BEES.MP3 for any reason whatsoever?"
>"Alright. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to tell, but I'll keep an eye out."
>look

[Hello Purvis]

"Like me trading away BEES.MP3 for any reason whatsoever?"
>"Alright. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to tell, but I'll keep an eye out."
>look

>"Thank you," says Keine.
>You are standing in a more quiet part of town, with more old homes than anything. You can hear quite a row going on inside the clinic, which is marked with a banner over its door bearing several medical symbols. Obvious exits are East and North.
>"I've checked around here already."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Mostly getting my bearings. I haven't explored the city myself, much. Is there anywhere I should avoid, come to think of it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Mostly getting my bearings. I haven't explored the city myself, much. Is there anywhere I should avoid, come to think of it?"

>"Try not to linger in the crowded spots. Oh, and keep an eye out for evil spirits; sometimes they can get irritable."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Evil spirits... I take it I'm just forgetting where Mima is, right?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Evil spirits... I take it I'm just forgetting where Mima is, right?"

>"I mean the things that are like ghosts, but hotter. Orin has a bunch of them somewhere."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Right, not her then."
>whichever way isn't back into the clinic

[Hello Purvis]

>"Right, not her then."
>whichever way isn't back into the clinic

>You stand at the edge of the Ancient city; an old stone gateway welcomes visitors. To the south, you can see Parsee's bridge. Off to the west is a quieter part of town, where the clinic and many old homes can be found. To the north, you can see the main part of town, where shops and festive oni can be found. Overhead, just at the edge of the ubiquitous lantern light, you can see what appears to be clouds. Obvious exits are North, West, and South.

[Hello Purvis]

>examine clouds
>north

>The clouds look normalish. You suspect Unzan was hiding up there until it was time to play riot breaker.
>You go north.
>You are in the center of town. There are a lot of food stands here, selling a variety of tasty-looking treats. There are also quite a few oni milling about, carrying on with their daily lives. Save for the few oni lingering about to watch two oni having a loud argument over stouts vs wines. A broad thoroughfare intersects with the one you are on. Obvious exits are North, South, and East.

[Hello Purvis]

> Safely hide away Ran's Cap again

>You hide Ran's Cap away. The last thing you need is for some oni to take a liking to that.

>_

>Using pen and paper sketch the snowy forgotten ancient city
>Sell at marketplace for ☼s

>You take the time to sketch a snow-covered Ancient City while the oni squabble. Unfortunately, your drawing talents are limited mostly to runes, sigils, and circles, and you are not able to produce anything sufficient quality that you could sell.
