Sakuya Quest 3 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Monarda]

>"We wouldn't want you to leave amidst a fight, argue or a danmaku battle would we ? I'll try my best to avoid such.... and make sure you get some of your cookies too."
>Give her a slight smile.

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "With all due respect, Young Mistress, forcing your way out would not be ideal. I believe it would be much better for such a departure to be a happy one for all parties involved."

>"I don't think it'd be that forceful," says Flandre.

>"We wouldn't want you to leave amidst a fight, argue or a danmaku battle would we ? I'll try my best to avoid such.... and make sure you get some of your cookies too."
>Give her a slight smile.

>She just chuckles.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Look back to Tojiko.
> "Very well, I won't worry about it."
> Look back and forth between Tojiko and Shou.
> "In that vein, however, is there perhaps a message you would like me to deliver to your past selves?"

> Look back and forth between Tojiko and Shou.
> "In that vein, however, is there perhaps a message you would like me to deliver to your past selves?"

>"Oh, I don't know," says Shou. "Umm...hm. Tell me not to worry about Murasa, maybe? I used to a lot."
>"I think I will be content simply to know that things will work out," says Tojiko.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Do we know a Murasa?

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we know a Murasa?

>Flandre mentioned her, at least. But beyond that, not really.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod to Shou.
> "I can do this, though I should ask who Murasa is, just to be safe."
> Look to Tojiko.
> "And I can do this as well. Should this message be a broad, general statement?"
> Gesture to Tojiko and Shou.
> "Or should more specific factional details be provided?"

>"Murasa is the ship ghost who was one of the original members of Hijiri's following," says Shou. "She was a good friend to us all, and I used to worry that she'd never find peace."
>"Be general," says Tojiko.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Okay, I shall do both of these, then."
> Look slightly disappointed.
> "Truth be told, I would have liked to deliver the message that differences will be largely resolved, in the hopes that doing so would cause it to happen more quickly. But if this is not desired, then I won't."

>"I suppose that wouldn't hurt," says Shou.
>"I can't promise everyone would believe you," Tojiko says with a chuckle.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Of course. But perhaps they would be more inclined to believe it if those involved were willing to put their names on such a message?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Of course. But perhaps they would be more inclined to believe it if those involved were willing to put their names on such a message?"

>Shou laughs. "Perhaps so!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a small smile.
> "Would both of you be willing to do so? I imagine that we could come up with something reasonably meaningful between the four of us."

[Hello Purvis]

> Give a small smile.
> "Would both of you be willing to do so? I imagine that we could come up with something reasonably meaningful between the four of us."

>"What do you have in mind?" says Shou.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Perhaps something that says that the future is good and bright, and that alliances and friendships work out in unexpected ways. Except it could be worded deeper and more flowery than that, I guess. Then anyone from either faction that wishes to sign their name to it may do so."

>"Hmm, I'm no good at flowery stuff," says Shou.
>"Not after my third cup, anyways," Tojiko says, chuckling.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm, then perhaps I can build off of that. Let's see..."
> Put on a thoughtful face.
> "...How about this? 'To our past selves: The future is good and bright, and you are well on your ways to your personal successes. Keep a faithful heart, and an open mind; alliances and friendships work out in unexpected ways, and new and surprising ones can still be as strong and valid as established ones.'"

>"I like that," says Tojiko. Shou nods as well.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Excellent. Do we have something to write it on, then, with plenty of room for signatures?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Excellent. Do we have something to write it on, then, with plenty of room for signatures?"

>"Just a moment,' says Tojiko, as she floats up, and then claims some paper from a drawer set into the counter. "Hmm...probably should use an ink brush, so it'd look like something we'd write...just a moment."
>She floats out of the room.
>"How come she knows where everything is?" says Flandre.
>"She visits us regularly," Shou says.
>"Mhm," says Flandre. She seems like she might have more to say, but Tojiko returns with writing tools in hand.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Excellent."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Excellent."

>"Do the honors?" says Tojiko, offering you the writing implements.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "As you wish."
> Take the writing implements and write the small speech we just gave at the top of the paper.

[Hello Purvis]

> "As you wish."
> Take the writing implements and write the small speech we just gave at the top of the paper.

>You do so, writing it in your usual neat hand.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Hand the paper and writing utensils back over.
> "That should do, I think."

[Hello Purvis]

> Hand the paper and writing utensils back over.
> "That should do, I think."

>"Yep," says Tojiko, as she takes them and signs it, then hands it over to Shou, who quietly does the same after skimming it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Who else should I ask to sign this, anyway? I have plans to meet up with Nue again later this evening, and I would not be surprised if I encountered Lady Toyosatomimi again before all is said and done. It is my understanding that Seiga may be here in Apex as well?"

>"I guess it's up to you," says Shou.
>"Oh, yes, Seiga is here," Tojiko says. "She's probably out schmoozing like always."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I think it would be best to get as many signatures as possible from those that were in your number in my time. But, unfortunately, I am not sure the extent of who that includes."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I think it would be best to get as many signatures as possible from those that were in your number in my time. But, unfortunately, I am not sure the extent of who that includes."

>"Well, Ichirin's at the Hijiri Temple," says Shou, "But I guess you know that if you've found Flan already. Unless you met at the market?"
>"She knows," says Flandre.
>"Let's see, Nazrin does maintenance work at the temple in Enkyo," Shou continues. "I don't actually know where Kyouko is these days, we went off mountaineering awhile ago."
>"Staying with a couple reclusive tengu around Haihan, I think?" says Flandre.
>"Seiga's out there somewhere," Tojiko says. "Futo ought be around Old Hometown."
>"Oh, I've been meaning to tell you, Flan," says Shou, "It turns out Futo's been in the old mausoleum the-"
>"Yeah, we found out," Flandre says.
