Sakuya Quest 4 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "I thought it best to get her away from her camp, and since you had first mentioned concern over the Warlord, this place seemed the most logical place to bring her to determine what to do with her long-term, if anything. Her plans before passing out were to return home and report her failure, but allowing that didn't seem too prudent."

>"I suppose," says Reimu. "But it's not as though we can just take her prisoner."

[Suwako Moriya]

> Look just a tad unsure of ourselves.
> "...To be completely honest with all of you, depending on how I am to return home, I would not object to the opportunity to bring her with me. If she agrees, of course."

>"...You want to trap her in the past?" says Kaori, screwing up her face.

[Monarda]

//The hell Kilga ? Mind explaining your idea a bit ?

[Suwako Moriya]

//I want more neat OCs, the end.

> "Not 'trap', of course. As I said, with her permission. If she wishes to remain here, that is fine. Frankly, I expect her to wish to remain here, but no harm will come of asking."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Not 'trap', of course. As I said, with her permission. If she wishes to remain here, that is fine. Frankly, I expect her to wish to remain here, but no harm will come of asking."

>"As long as it's asking," says Kaori.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Put on a slightly offended look.
> "Of course."

[Monarda]

//Huh, okay then, so you have a thing for OCs ?

[Suwako Moriya]

//In a series that has run this long, yes. Even with the wide variety of existing 2hus, there is only so much one can do without expanding into OCs, and it is entertaining to work with unfamiliar personalities and motives. Shuuei is the prime example of this, and Amaya, Kiyomi, and now Kay are also really good. I also regret not nabbing Sombraluz permanently, but what's done is done there.

[Hello Purvis]

>Kaori's expression does not waiver.
>"So, anything else?" says Reimu.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "A fair number of fascinating things, but I expect you are too busy for most of them. I do have a couple of curiosities, however. Would you happen to know the whereabouts of the current hakutaku?"

>"Not really," says Reimu. "And, I guess I have some time if you want it."

[Suwako Moriya]

> Frown.
> "How unfortunate. And you said earlier you have not had contact with the Child of Miare for some time as well, yes?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "How unfortunate. And you said earlier you have not had contact with the Child of Miare for some time as well, yes?"

>She shakes her head.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Mmm. Unrelated to that, then, but would you happen to remember how soon after Reisen Udongein Inaba's passing that Eientei fell off the map?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Mmm. Unrelated to that, then, but would you happen to remember how soon after Reisen Udongein Inaba's passing that Eientei fell off the map?"

>"I dunno," says Reimu, shrugging. "They weren't too far apart. No more than a couple decades? Don't ask me which one came first."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Oh, there's no need, I'd bet my uniform that Reisen's passing came first. Anyway, back on the subject of returning to your past, it seems I need an object from our house that has survived the years, one that would be lost in the process of my returning. Would you happen to know if any such objects have been kept anywhere?"

>"Hm," says Reimu. "Well...I'm sure there's some statues at the Hijiri Temple. That place has been around forever."
>"Doesn't Kiyoshi has that museum?" says Kaori.
>"I suppose so," Reimu says. "Hm. I guess you could try to track down some antiques from the Scarlet Devil Mansion. A whole lot of those got sold in its last few decades. I'm sure someone's willing to trade for them."
>"I wonder if there's anyone left from there who might have something?" Kaori says, pursing her lips.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, yes, the Young Mistress and Elise are likely to know more."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, yes, the Young Mistress and Elise are likely to know more."

>Reimu nods. "That aside, best I could say is find a rich person and get on their good side. Or challenge 'em, maybe."
>"I thought we weren't supposed to do that!" says Kaori.
>"It's different when we do it," Reimu says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
>"This seems reasonable. Which returns us to what to do with the scout."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
>"This seems reasonable. Which returns us to what to do with the scout."

>"What do you want to do with her?" says Reimu. "She's your prisoner."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Put on a thoughtful look, then look to Alice.
> "How far are you willing to follow me?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Put on a thoughtful look, then look to Alice.
> "How far are you willing to follow me?"

>"I have agreed to assist you as well as I am able," says Alice. "So it is up to you to answer that question."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "And how much of a hassle has carrying her been?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "And how much of a hassle has carrying her been?"

>"It is more inconvenient that I cannot use my hands than anything," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back to Reimu.
> "How common are flightless humans these days? Particularly ones that are clearly capable of some form of magic. It seems scrolls have replaced cards, if this person is any indication."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look back to Reimu.
> "How common are flightless humans these days? Particularly ones that are clearly capable of some form of magic. It seems scrolls have replaced cards, if this person is any indication."

>"About as common as the old days, really," says Reimu. "And naw, those were just her style. She mixed them up with her incantations, it worked better for her." She grins. "So, how many did you capture off her?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we actually capture any?

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we actually capture any?

>No. You relied on time tricks too much. On the other hand, you also managed to come out unscathed.
