Alice Quest - The Seven-Colored Puppeteer's Week v2

[Neovereign]

>"So my observation was a total coincidence. Hmmm. I wonder what the Aki sisters have that Meiling has more of?"

> "Grace?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Grace?"

[Neovereign]

>"Grace?"

> Marisa gives another shrug.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I suppose that if we could define it well, we could test it..."

[Neovereign]

>"I suppose that if we could define it well, we could test it..."

> "With who next?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"We would need someone graceful, and someone who has very little grace indeed... Hmmm."

[Neovereign]

>"We would need someone graceful, and someone who has very little grace indeed... Hmmm."

> "And we'd need to get them to eat it of course."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm not too worried about that part anymore. I think we can convince them."

[Neovereign]

>"I'm not too worried about that part anymore. I think we can convince them."

> "So that's our plan now?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Perhaps. Did you make any other discoveries?"

[Neovereign]

>"Perhaps. Did you make any other discoveries?"

> "It's actually a bit annoying to go through fairies to get in the mansion than Meiling."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Chuckle.
>"I suppose Sakuya must have been marshaling them?"

[Neovereign]

>Chuckle.
>"I suppose Sakuya must have been marshaling them?"

> "I'll pick a time when you two aren't on a date later then."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Smile.
>"Oh, you have to do better than that. Meiling is quite large herself, now."

[Neovereign]

>Smile.
>"Oh, you have to do better than that. Meiling is quite large herself, now."

> "Doesn't mean she's not still Meiling."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Give her a little more credit than that. But, no more progress on the mushroom front, I take it?"

[Neovereign]

>"Give her a little more credit than that. But, no more progress on the mushroom front, I take it?"

> "We'll get some today, one way or another. Just watch."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Grin.
>"Anything I can do?"

[Neovereign]

>Grin.
>"Anything I can do?"

> "Have Shanghai and Hourai try one each?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hm. What do you two think?"

[Neovereign]

>"Hm. What do you two think?"

> "I'd like to try it..." Shanghai says.
> Hourai doesn't answer.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod, and produce one of the two we have left for Shanghai.

[Neovereign]

>Nod, and produce one of the two we have left for Shanghai.

> You hand a pair to Shanghai.
> Shanghai examines it for a moment.
> "Well, go on." Marisa says.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"It's not too much, is it?"

[Neovereign]

>"It's not too much, is it?"

> "Maybe she'd like something to drink with it or..." Marisa says.
> Shanghai shakes her head, starting to eat it.
> "I wonder if the time changes based on how long you take to eat it..." Marisa says.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"That would be interesting, if true..."
>Observe, have faith in our doll.

[Neovereign]

>"That would be interesting, if true..."
>Observe, have faith in our doll.

> You watch...
> ...
> "I wonder if we could just make it into a liquid..." Marisa says.
> Shanghai finishes, starting to flash.
> "Oh. Well, at least it ended up working. Hey, maybe you could look for changes in her."
>_

[Tashi]

> Watch in expectation... Maybe she will be of the size of a human...?

[Neovereign]

> Watch in expectation... Maybe she will be of the size of a human...?

> You watch...
> Shanghai grows in size, more and more until she's almost as large as Marisa.
> "Wonder how else she improved..."
>_

[Tashi]

> Wonderful.
> "How do you feel?"
