Patchy Quest One More Time: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> spend time with Wriggle.
> Attemp to decipher her strange slang that makes you think of tusks and welding goggles

>You are more or less in the process of doing both of these things.

[Serela]

>"Oh, Wriggle; I've heard around that you had a secret item. I've been looking for them all over Gensokyo, and I believe yours should be the final one... do you think I could have it? Or if not, could I give or do something for you in exchange for it?"

[Fightest]

> Aw, her slang's adorable, though.
> "Yeah, I hope that run is the only time we'd have to go through that kind of thing. Sanae was pretty shook up, but she's a good girl, she came through when it counted."

>You give a quick summary that doesn't actually say anything. Wriggle nods.
>You ask her about Secret Items. "Huh? Yeah. I got one of those.  Bit of chrome Mokou gave me after a run I did for her. I guess I don't slot it, though, and you did me alright in the end."
>She goes over to her wardrobe, removes the bottom shelf, and pulls out something from a hollow underneath the shelf. She then hands it to you.
>You obtain: Secret Trousers.

[Toasty]

>smile at wriggle and give her a big thanks
>Tell cirno she can stay and hang out
>Leave wrigglehouse
>Mukyu
>Go to rumia
>trade in secret trousers

[Kuma]

> So now Rumia has a tuxedo, tophat, monacle, and fake mustache. now what?

[Hello Purvis]

>Leave wrigglehouse
>Mukyu
>Go to rumia
>trade in secret trousers

>"No problem, cowgirl," says Wriggle.
>"Naw," says Cirno, "Imma go find Letty." She takes her leave of you as you leave Wriggle's house.
>You mukyu in peace and quiet.
>Returning to human town, you find the Robed Figure in the school playground where you left her, staring hard into the alley.
>You present the Secret Trousers to her. "Holy crap!" she says, "You're the best!" She takes the Secret Trousers, then says, "I guess it's time to reveal the big secret, then." With a dramatic ruffle of cloth, she throws off her robes. Thankfully, she has her normal clothes on underneath. "Surprise!" Rumia says, "It was me the whole time! Gimme a minute."
>She then runs off to the alley again. A moment later, some comes back and hands you a large something.
>You obtain: Basset Hound Puppy. It looks at you with soulful dog eyes.

> So now Rumia has a tuxedo, tophat, monacle, and fake mustache. now what?

>Apparently, you get a dog. It wags its tail at you.

>_

[WHMZakeri]

But we already have a dog. It cleans and cooks, too. This one does just the opposite, though.

>Ponder what we should do with the dog.

[Hello Purvis]

>Ponder what we should do with the dog.

>You contemplate what to do with the dog. It continues to look at you expectantly and wag its tail.
>"She needs a name," says Rumia, smiling.

> Now, now, it's this kind of attitude that had Sakuya trying to get us. Probably.
> What say we give the dog to Flandre?

[Hello Purvis]

> Now, now, it's this kind of attitude that had Sakuya trying to get us. Probably.
> What say we give the dog to Flandre?

>It certainly doesn't help...
>You wonder if Flandre could take care of a puppy. If nothing else, you could probably make the maids do the real work in those regards.

>_

[WHMZakeri]

Patches would be a good name for the dog. Alternatively, if we're giving it to Flandre, let's let her name it instead.

[Fightest]

> Also make sure Sakuya is there when we give Flandre the puppy so that she breaks due to HNNNNGH.

[E-Nazrin]

>would Flandre be awake at this hour?

[Hello Purvis]

> Also make sure Sakuya is there when we give Flandre the puppy so that she breaks due to HNNNNGH.

>You'll be waiting a few days on that, then.

>would Flandre be awake at this hour?

>Probably. She and Remilia tend to turn in around 3 AM to sunrise these days.

[E-Nazrin]

>ponder if it would be insulting or complementary to name the puppy after Sakuya
>thank Rumia profusely
>"Anything special you're planning to do with those secret items?"

[Hello Purvis]

>ponder if it would be insulting or complementary to name the puppy after Sakuya
>thank Rumia profusely
>"Anything special you're planning to do with those secret items?"

>You can't imagine Sakuya would like to be likened to a dog. Then again, it is a basset hound.
>Rumia grins. "I'm just glad she'll get a good home!"
>She shrugs. "Look at 'em, 'cause they're neat."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>bid farewell to Rumia and take our new puppy back to the SDM

[Hello Purvis]

>bid farewell to Rumia and take our new puppy back to the SDM

>You bid Rumia good evening and make your way back to Scarlet Devil Mansion.
>It seems that the battle between Youmu and Remilia has wrapped up. Given that Meiling is at her post as usual, you expect that Remilia came out on top.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"How'd it go?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"How'd it go?"

>"Remilia got it in the end. I think Youmu sneezed, but I was kinda in the back. Oh, and Youmu is really pissed about the sword, so you probably don't want to drop in on Yuyuko for awhile."
>She smiles at the puppy, who wriggles around in your arms like a boneless dog mass to get a better look around.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>mutter, "Understandably."
>shake head
>"Anyway, someone was looking for a good home for this puppy. I thought Flandre would find it cute, so I brought it back home. Do you think Flandre would like it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>mutter, "Understandably."
>shake head
>"Anyway, someone was looking for a good home for this puppy. I thought Flandre would find it cute, so I brought it back home. Do you think Flandre would like it?"

>Meiling nods. "Can't imagine a world where she wouldn't."

[E-Nazrin]

>contemplate Doyoran travesties
>"I suppose so. Well, good evening, I'm not sure I'll head out again tonight."
>"... ah, but first, how is Sakuya?"
>if nothing significant about Sakuya's condition, head in to find Flandre Remilia and make sure the head of the house is okay with it

>"... ah, but first, how is Sakuya?"
>if nothing significant about Sakuya's condition, head in to find Flandre Remilia and make sure the head of the house is okay with it

>"I put her to bed," says Meiling. "Figure she'll be up in a couple days, and hunting down whatever the maids did wrong without her."
>You head inside, and ascend to Remilia's chamber. You find her on the rear balcony, enjoying a cup of tea while viewing the moon and looking insufferably pleased with herself.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>contemplate bossing around the maids to try and please Sakuya... no, then dear Patchu would be a scapegoat as well.
>"Did you enjoy yourself, Remilia?"

[Hello Purvis]

>contemplate bossing around the maids to try and please Sakuya... no, then dear Patchu would be a scapegoat as well.
>"Did you enjoy yourself, Remilia?"

>"It was a little rocky at first," says Remilia, looking over toward you, "But things smoothed out. You did well out there. But you shouldn't be exposing yourself like that, even for us! Oy, but we almost died from embarrassment, you doing that in front of Youmu and the world like that!"
>She gives the basset hound puppy a look. "What's with the dog?"

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"It was given to me as a gift by someone in exchange for gathering some things for her. She wanted it to have a good home. I was thinking of giving it to Flandre, but considering that the mansion is yours, I knew I needed to check with you first."

>She gives it a look. "It doesn't chew up things, does it? And none of that widdling on the floors?"

[Rin Kagamine]

> "I don't know, I just got it.  In fact, I've been holding it the whole time so I'm not even sure if it can walk.  It is cute, but I'm not particularly attached to it.  What do you think we should do with it?"
