Patchy Quest One More Time: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "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?"

>"As long as little Flan likes it and promises to take good care of it," says Remilia, "I suppose we can keep it around. But if it ruins one of my artworks, it's going outside and I don't care how bad out it is!"

> With the anti-humidity spell in the library not allowing any liquids to spill, would that also apply to puppy piddle?

[Hello Purvis]

> With the anti-humidity spell in the library not allowing any liquids to spill, would that also apply to puppy piddle?

>It would, but that protection does not extend beyond the library.

>It would, but that protection does not extend beyond the library.

> Yeah, but could we write up a fresh one? Or would that require us to gather the ingredients again?

[Hello Purvis]

> Yeah, but could we write up a fresh one? Or would that require us to gather the ingredients again?

>The original ingredients were consumed. You'd need to get a fresh set. And it would take quite a few castings to protect the whole mansion.

[Rin Kagamine]

> While we may be protected from piddle, a dog could still damage the books in other ways, so we really can't keep it in the library.

[Fightest]

> Basement's fine for the dog, and more easily cleaned than the rest of the mansion, certainly until it's been house-trained. All the dog will need are some chew toys and it'll be set.

[Hello Purvis]

> While we may be protected from piddle, a dog could still damage the books in other ways, so we really can't keep it in the library.

>It certainly could. You don't think you could really chew-proof them, too.

> Basement's fine for the dog, and more easily cleaned than the rest of the mansion, certainly until it's been house-trained. All the dog will need are some chew toys and it'll be set.

>The basement is pretty nice these days. Maybe set her up a basket to sleep in.

> Bolded for emphasis, thanks for the confirmation, it was getting difficult avoiding personal pronouns.

[UncertainJakutten]

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

>Realize that Rumia is going to crossplay jimang

>Also realize this has no bearing on the current situation
>Go ahead and give dog to Flandre.

[Hello Purvis]

> Bolded for emphasis, thanks for the confirmation, it was getting difficult avoiding personal pronouns.

>Rumia did mention it.

>Realize that Rumia is going to crossplay jimang

>Also realize this has no bearing on the current situation
>Go ahead and give dog to Flandre.

>You think odd things, then dismiss them.
>You make your way down into the basement. Flandre is here, building something with the numerous legos scattered about on the floor. "Hi, Patch-patch!" she says, then she gasps and falls silent, staring at the basset hound puppy.

>_

[Serela]

>"Flandre... would you like to have your very own puppy?"
>Unless she doesn't want it, then say "What would you like to name it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Flandre... would you like to have your very own puppy?"
>Unless she doesn't want it, then say "What would you like to name it?"

>Flandre does not say thing, she stares at the basset hound puppy wide-eyed, and nods. Then nods in respond to naming it. "Uh...um...uh..." she stammers, then frowns. "I don't know any good doggy names. Uh...Shvan?"

>_

[Snaka]

>Suggest the name Patches

[Fightest]

> Or Enkidu. There's a good, strong name.

[Hello Purvis]

>Suggest the name Patches

> Or Enkidu. There's a good, strong name.

>You make some suggestions, though you are well aware that the latter is an insult to the entire myth. "Do you like those, Patch-patch?" Flandre asks. "I can't decide."

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "You don't have to name it right away.  You should give it a lot of thought, and you'll probably know the name you want to give it when you think of it.  It'll be your puppy, so don't you think you should be the one to name it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>She nods. "Okay! It's just that you're the smartest person there is, so I thought you'd know something good."

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> Blush slightly and thank Flandre
> Examine the dog and Flandre
> Present the dog to Flandre

[Hello Purvis]

> Blush slightly and thank Flandre
> Examine the dog and Flandre
> Present the dog to Flandre

>You blush and thank Flandre for her kind words. "It's true!" she insists.
>Flandre is clearly having the best day ever. She discovered an idol in Shiva; she got to watch Remilia beat Youmu down and she got a huge box of crayons, an anteater plushie, and a puppy! You are going to spoil her rotten.
>The Basset Hound Puppy is a female pup who seems rather bright-eyed and inquisitive. She's also quite relaxed, as she didn't seem to mind being carried around from the Human Town to here; at worst just periodically shifting to get a better look at things. She has mastered the boneless dog mass tactic that basset hound pups do so well.
>You give the Basset Hound Puppy to Flandre. She squeals with glee and starts scratching the pup behind the ears. The puppy responds with a lazy tail wag.

[Snaka]

>Go to sakuya and inform her of the new resident, if she doesn't know already

[Hello Purvis]

>Go to sakuya and inform her of the new resident, if she doesn't know already

>Sakuya is very unlikely to be conscious at the moment. You go knock on her door, just in case, and get no answer.

[Snaka]

>Oh okay. When does koakuma get back from holidays?

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh okay. When does koakuma get back from holidays?

>She has a couple weeks to go, yet.

[yoshicookiezeus]

>Wonder how long it would take to replace some of our destroyed spellcards, and try to recall if we still have any working ones still left in the mansion. If something goes wrong during the quests involving Marisa or Aya, we wouldn't want to be completely defenceless.

[Hello Purvis]

>Wonder how long it would take to replace some of our destroyed spellcards, and try to recall if we still have any working ones still left in the mansion. If something goes wrong during the quests involving Marisa or Aya, we wouldn't want to be completely defenceless.

>You pretty much had your whole arsenal on you. With a blank spellcard, you could probably remake one an hour. But making a blank spellcard takes some time itself.
>A maid approaches you. "Miss Knowledge," she says with a curtsy, "Miss Kirisame has come. She's waiting in the library."

>_

[Fightest]

> Oh god what did we nick from Marisa? Oh well, if we did, it'd be ironic, and thus okay.
> Go meet Marisa.

[Hello Purvis]

> Oh god what did we nick from Marisa? Oh well, if we did, it'd be ironic, and thus okay.
> Go meet Marisa.

>You return to the Library in time to see Marisa drop a wooden chest, large enough for Remilia to sleep in, on one of the tables. The table creaks alarmingly under the weight. She wipes her brow and looks back. "There you are, Patchy," says Marisa with a grin. "I heard that you had cast that Humidity Counter, so I figured I ought to store my books here when I'm not using them."

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "No problem, but could you put that chest on the ground before the table breaks?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "No problem, but could you put that chest on the ground before the table breaks?"

>"Ah, alright," says Marisa, as she hefts the chest again, and sets it on the floor.
