Reisen Quest: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>Hail down Hina. When she's within speaking range, initiate delivery of package.

>You wave to Hina. She notices you and approaches. You notice that Hina is missing her entire left arm. "Hello, ah...Reisen, isn't it?" She says in a pleasant tone.

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "I, uh, believe this is for you.  It's from Eirin."
> Present package

[Chaore]

> Ten bucks we delivered her arm.
> "I...are you aware your arm is gone?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I, uh, believe this is for you.  It's from Eirin."
> Present package

>"Oh, thank you very much!" says Hina, as she takes the package and tucks it under her remaining aim in an awkward-looking motion.

> Ten bucks we delivered her arm.
> "I...are you aware your arm is gone?"

>She would have to have a tiny arm, the package would not accommodate an arm that would be the same size as her current once.
>"Most aware," says Hina. "I've been looking for it all morning."

>_

[Pesco]

> Any ideas what happened to it? Was Tewi involved?

[Hello Purvis]

> Any ideas what happened to it? Was Tewi involved?

>"Well, possibly," says Hina, frowning. "I've never met Tewi, but I did do a bit of drinking last night with a rabbit and Letty. And when I woke up this morning, my arm was gone."

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>"Uh... Was it bleeding? In fact, what did your shoulder look like this morning?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Uh... Was it bleeding? In fact, what did your shoulder look like this morning?"

>"Ah, I don't have blood or anything like that," says Hina. "There's just a hollow spot at my shoulder now."

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>"...Wait, what? How does that even work?"
>"Do you have any idea where we could find your arm?"
>Add Quest: Find Hina's Arm

[Hello Purvis]

>"...Wait, what? How does that even work?"
>"Do you have any idea where we could find your arm?"
>Add Quest: Find Hina's Arm

>"I'm a nagashi-bina, dearie," says Hina. "We don't have blood."
>"I've been trying to retrace my steps," Hina says. "That rabbit asked me to show her around Youkai Mountain before I went home, so I started looking around here. Unfortunately, my memory is just a bit fuzzy on where we actually went."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "If we did find your arm, how difficult would it be to re-attach?
> Idea: Contemplate Hina as a friend of Alice. Perhaps, if we found the missing arm, Alice, could help re-attach it.

[Hello Purvis]

> "If we did find your arm, how difficult would it be to re-attach?
> Idea: Contemplate Hina as a friend of Alice. Perhaps, if we found the missing arm, Alice, could help re-attach it.

>"That's an excellent question," says Hina. "I've never lost one before. But it came off at the joint, so I imagine it should replace rather cleanly."
>You have no idea if they would get along at all. But you also have no proof that they wouldn't. Hina seems a bit sweet-natured compared to Alice, from what little you know of Alice.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Would you be able to reattach it yourself without too much difficulty, or would you someone else's help?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Would you be able to reattach it yourself without too much difficulty, or would you someone else's help?"

>"I wouldn't say no to some help," says Hina.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "All right, I have an idea. Do you know Alice Margatroid, the puppeteer magician in the Forest of Magic? I'm willing to bet that she's the most qualified in Gensokyo for re-attaching your arm."
> "Of course, we'd need to find it first. I have some business with the Moriya Shrine, so I could ask them if they know anything. You're welcome to come with me if you'd like, though I imagine you'd want to leave your package at your home first."

>"I had heard of her, yes," says Hina. She rubs her chin, taking care not to drop the package under her arm. "That would be a good idea. I've already checked the shrine, though I'm pretty sure we didn't go there. I think I'll go drop this off, like you said. Meet you in the kappa village?"

>_

[Kasu]

> "Sounds good."
> Bid Hina farewell and head for the Moriya Shrine.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, and if you happen to run into Nitori there, you might want to ask her for a temporary solution. If you like, let her know I'm helping you find your arm."

> "Oh, and if you happen to run into Nitori there, you might want to ask her for a temporary solution. If you like, let her know I'm helping you find your arm."

>"I don't know if I would trust myself to some of Nitori's inventions, to be honest." says Hina.
>The two of you part. You head east.
>You enter the grounds of the Moriya Shrine. It is a rather impressive-looking wooden building; clearly a lot of love have gone into constructing it. A path to the north leads around the shrine to a pond with several Onbashira arranged in it. A paved walkway leads to the shrine itself. Sanae and Wriggle, the latter still dressed as a Wind Priestess, are busy cleaning the shrine's front deck. Obvious exits are east, west, and north.

>_

[WHMZakeri]

>Address Sanae
>Inquire if we can speak to the Goddesses
>Imply Patchouli's welfare is involved

[Hello Purvis]

>Address Sanae
>Inquire if we can speak to the Goddesses
>Imply Patchouli's welfare is involved

>"Ah, hello!" says Sanae, looking up from her work.
>"Hoi, choomba." Wriggle says while keeping at her scrubbing.
>You inquire if you can see the goddesses, hinting that Patchoili's interests are at stake. Sanae nods, though she seems a little disturbed. "Normally, they wouldn't see you," she says. "But, well, we do owe a debt to Patchouli. I'll speak with Kanako-sama, she is a bit busy with the winds right now. Suwako-sama should be willing to speak with you, just go to the pond and politely state your business."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Gunwink Wriggle

[Hello Purvis]

> Gunwink Wriggle

>You Gunwink at Wriggle. She makes a finger gun gesture back at you. Sanae looks between the two of you blankly.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Head around back to Suwako's pond.

[Hello Purvis]

> Head around back to Suwako's pond.

>You follow the path to the north. It circles around the shrine.
>You come to a large pond here, dotted with lily pads and cattails. Curiously, the water here is not frozen. The onbashira stretch into the sky, casting long shadows over the point. A small sign by the edge of the pond reads: "Please toss all donations to Suwako-sama into the pond." Obvious exits are west.

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Check inventory for items to toss in the pond

[Kilgamayan]

> Did Sanae say anything about donations? We don't really have anything we can afford to just throw away...

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> Call out for Suwako.

[Hello Purvis]

> Call out for Suwako.

>This doesn't seem to do anything.
>Then you glance toward the water and there she is; just under the surface of the pond, looking up at you curiously.
