Vendor Quest 2! Keep On Shopkeeping! (Now with a map)

[Hello Purvis]

>"Indulge my curiosity. You have a clinic quite far from the beaten path, tell me a bit about it?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Indulge my curiosity. You have a clinic quite far from the beaten path, tell me a bit about it?"

>"Anwsering a question with a question. Very well. My clinic makes medicine and we sell it to people and youkai who need it. And you plan to do what now?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I just said, I'm going to indulge my curiosity. I'll decide what comes next after that. You kind of eluded the unasked question, so I'll ask it. Don't you think this location is kind of lousy for business? There's not even a beaten path to it. The only way a lot of people could find it is to know exactly where it is ahead of time. So your choice of location makes me curious, what determined it?"

>"I have my own reasons, as does anybody who does anything. And for other reasons, I would like to keep them private."
>She gives a playful smile.

[Hello Purvis]

>"I can respect that. I suppose you're happy with not being found very often? And from what I've been able to gather, you live somewhere else, yes?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"I can respect that. I suppose you're happy with not being found very often? And from what I've been able to gather, you live somewhere else, yes?"

>"I live elsewhere? I assume you're referring to my absence."
>"I was not here due to business."

[Hello Purvis]

>"My mistake. The information I gathered had suggested otherwise. Let's clear that up, tell me a bit about yourself?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"My mistake. The information I gathered had suggested otherwise. Let's clear that up, tell me a bit about yourself?"

>"It's no problem."
>"As for me, this clinic is what I do for a living. I make any medicine for any illness. Any antidote for any poison."

>"That's very impressive, I must say. Do you sell your stock at the human village or  you simply await customers here?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"That's very impressive, I must say. Do you sell your stock at the human village or  you simply await customers here?"

>"I do whatever I need."
>"As for you, your friends seem to be of a different variety. Care to elaborate?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"...I don't follow."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

She freaks me out, Purvis Oo Hold my hand...

[Hello Purvis]

We gone get through this, man. Ain't no thing.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"...I don't follow."

>"Your friends there. I don't believe I've ever seen a merchant with a fairy companion alongside a previously homeless boy."
>Rook suddenly gets wide-eyed and looks at you.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Nothing wrong with that. They're fine people. I owe a good deal of my success so far to them. And how'd you know about Rook, were you spying on him, too?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Nothing wrong with that. They're fine people. I owe a good deal of my success so far to them. And how'd you know about Rook, were you spying on him, too?"

>"I would say it was more along the lines of gathering information. Which, considering what I thought you were at the time is perfectly reasonable."

[Hello Purvis]

>"And would you still say that now that you've learned what's actually happened?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"And would you still say that now that you've learned what's actually happened?"

>"Not at all. I see now that you could be very handy for my business."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Naturally. Please explain the details"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Is that so? I am interested to hear your offer."

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Is that so? I am interested to hear your offer."

>"In my field of business, there are ingredients hard to come by, and when opportunity like this comes, I must take it."

[Hello Purvis]

>"A familiar story. By all means, elaborate."

[Hanged Hourai]

>"A familiar story. By all means, elaborate."

>She sits back up in her chair.
>"I desire your ORGANS!" she says in a menacing tone.
>The tall rabbit next to her speaks up, "Master! You're going to scare them off!"

>"Fine, fine," she says while waving her hand as if to silence the rabbit.
>"I want you and your friends to collect ingredients for me. My rewards shall quite be worth your while."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'll consider it. What do you need, and where from?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"I'll consider it. What do you need, and where from?"

>"Let's see. I need cherry blossom petals from a tree near the Netherworld, grass blades from atop the Youkai Mountain, a flower from underground that has grown near the Blazing Fires, some suzuran, a celestial peach, a plant grown in the sky that has never experienced soil, and a sunflower from the Garden of the Sun," she says while counting off her fingers.

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we know the list Alice gave us well enough to know if she's asking for the same stuff without looking at it?

[Hanged Hourai]

>Do we know the list Alice gave us well enough to know if she's asking for the same stuff without looking at it?

>Yup. Same items, same wording, save for the bamboo.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"is this assignment exclusive for me, madam? or do you have others working on it as well?"

Lol.... I really don't like her , she's scary ;.; Let's make it more fun: let's get two of each and give them to both Eirin and Alice at the same time and receive two rewards. Alice/Eirin will be furious if one is doing that for the other one, but we will be clean.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"is this assignment exclusive for me, madam? or do you have others working on it as well?"

>"No, no. You're the only one I've asked for this. Will you do it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'll think about it. What do you need them for, exactly?"
