Iku Quest Cztery: A Z-Machine Adventure
« on: November 20, 2010, 08:04:29 PM »
>You are Iku Nagae, Gensokyo's premier messenger and dancer, and the sky has fallen!
>You do not know how, or why, but Bhava-Arga has fallen from the sky and now hovers scant yards over the surface of Gensokyo. This has caused numerous problems. On top of this, Tenshi has run off after stealing the Sword of Hisou. This has made her a primary suspect in the eyes of many. including yourself at one point.
>You are an oarfish youkai in service to the Dragon Palace. As a resident of Bhava-Agra, you bear a status similar to that of a Celestial, and are considered a minor functionary in the Celestial Bureaucracy that makes certain the known universe runs as it should, with all the rights privileges, and duties that come with this position. You are in the service of The Dragon, who reigns quietly as the highest god of this realm, and is among the highest beings in the universe. It regards you well, and you think of it as a guardian.
>While your duties and position suggest your place is in Bhava-Agra, you have a tendency to roam to other places. You somewhat blame this on Tenshi Hinanai, whom you have unfortunately been charged with keeping out of significant trouble, and her tendency to visit Gensokyo whenever possible. You are well-know for your love of dance, and excellence in performing it; oftentimes you've been asked to star in performances given at the Dragon Palace. Others have styled you the Dance Empress, particularly those who would try to claim that title for themselves. You are, as far as you know, well regarded by everyone you know and are welcome practically anywhere in Gensokyo, save perhaps for Higan. The only real black spot in your days is periodically having to deal with Tenshi's chicanery.
>You have been tasked by The Dragon in dealing with this incident. You have taken some stock of the damage surrounding the fall. You have found that Bhava-Agra's food supply has been badly affected by these events; you defeated a tsuchinoko on Minoirko's behalf in hopes of alleviating this. You have delivered messages for Patchouli. You have had bad run ins with Marisa and Reimu; and nearly had one with Sanae. You have found Tenshi hiding in the Ancient City, became convinced of her innocence, convinced her to join you, and have had several spats with her. You've been hearing a lot about a search for some thing called the Brocken Spectre. You've learned that Yamame is apparently missing. You've been given a hit list by Yuugi. You've released Aya from prison after a rather confused encounter. You've discovered that the islands of Bhava-Agra do not cast proper shadows; nor does Nitori, who is now practically dead to the world.
>You are now leaving the jail in tengu town, while arguing with Tenshi over who is the real pervert following that episode.

> "C'mon, let's get to Yukari's before we get shanked."

>"Okay, fine," says Tenshi. "But you're still really weird."

>You are able to fit the camera into your purse well enough. It might not hurt to get some cloth to wrap it in, if you intend to put many other things in it.
>"Huh?" says Tenshi, glancing over toward you.

>She shrugs. "...Guess I don't have a good answer for it."
>You're pretty sure that she's fairly competitive, which likely extends from her dislike at being looked down upon. You're pretty sure she takes a sort of joy in being contrary, which seems to extend into a lot of what she does. She's definitely proud. She honestly seems to enjoy what she does on the surface, which she describes as 'giving people point,and they put it in their faces'. She's also easy to taunt, but goading her has a tendency to backfire if she figures it out.

>She used to socialize with other celestials, but that came to a predictable end a while ago. You're pretty sure she has a few acquaintances in Gensokyo, particularly among the people in town, but you do not know how close. You suspect her tendency toward mischief likely impedes that.
