Iku Quest Tsamet'i - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Smile.
> "I must apologize for my verbosity again, then."

>"Yeah yeah, no problem," says Tenshi with a wave. "So, anything else?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "No, I believe that will be all, unless you have any further questions."

[Hello Purvis]

> "No, I believe that will be all, unless you have any further questions."

>"Don't think so," says Tenshi.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "All right then. I believe it is time we separate for the evening, so you can deliver your message and then take a well-earned rest. Should there be any complications at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, have a note left for me in my room, or something similar. Whatever you can do to pass the message along without interfering with when you go to bed."

>"Don't worry, I tell them," says Tenshi.

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Thank you. And be sure to find out if Sakuya has been moved to her home. I would rather not restore our home while she is still there, for her sake."
> Frown.
> "Did I mention that already? I already cannot remember. This has been a rough couple of days for both of us."

>"I think you said something like that," says Tenshi. "I'll check, don't worry."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile. If our hand is still on Tenshi's shoulder, gently squeeze it a little bit.
> "I won't. I know I can depend on you."

[Hello Purvis]

> Smile. If our hand is still on Tenshi's shoulder, gently squeeze it a little bit.
> "I won't. I know I can depend on you."

>You give her shoulder a squeeze.
>"Alright, see you later," says Tenshi, as she steps off, and takes flight.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Watch her leave for a few seconds, then head back to the cave entrance.

[Hello Purvis]

> Watch her leave for a few seconds, then head back to the cave entrance.

>You watch her depart; she flies southward toward the mansion.
>Returning to the cave entrance, you find Nue is just where you left her.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a short bow.
> "I apologize for the delay."

[Hello Purvis]

> Give a short bow.
> "I apologize for the delay."

>Nue nods and pushes herself from the wall she was leaning on. "It happens. So, where're we going?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "My friend dwells within the Forest of Magic, so presuming you are prepared to meet her, we can head there first."
> Assuming Nue is indeed ready, take flight and head toward the poltergeist's riverside clearing in the forest.

> Assuming Nue is indeed ready, take flight and head toward the poltergeist's riverside clearing in the forest.

>Nue nods in response, and the two of you take to the air.
>You land near the stream clearing, and find it empty. This is not terribly surprising.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Call out in no particular direction.
> "Friend, this is Miss Nue Houjuu. She is the one of which I spoke earlier."
> Turn to Nue.
> "This may be a bit sudden, but would it be possible to provide a demonstration of what you can do with yourself?"

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Also, allow me to remind you not to ask my friend anything about herself. You don't really care who she is anyways, right?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Call out in no particular direction.
> "Friend, this is Miss Nue Houjuu. She is the one of which I spoke earlier."
> Turn to Nue.
> "This may be a bit sudden, but would it be possible to provide a demonstration of what you can do with yourself?"

>"Hmm, let's see what I can do quickly," says Nue. "Oh, this should do."
>She slowly runs a hand through her hair. In its wake is a wide streak of blonde amidst her her normally dark hair.
>You note some motion to the right, and look over to see the poltergeist looking around the side of a tree, just a little.

>"Also, allow me to remind you not to ask my friend anything about herself. You don't really care who she is anyways, right?"

>"Oh, I'm actually quite curious," says Nue. "But I won't ask a thing, don't worry."

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Is there anything I can do to make this less uncomfortable for you?"
>Note: That was directed at Shuuei, not Nue.

[Kilgamayan]

I don't know about drawing attention to Feisty Geist just yet. It doesn't seem Nue has noticed her, for one thing.

> Keep the poltergeist in our line of vision, but try not to focus on her.
> "You can do such a thing with so little effort? That is quite impressive."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>She'll have to come out eventually, but whatever. Disregard this voice's previous command.

[Kilgamayan]

She will have to come out eventually, yeah. I just think she'd feel better about it if she did it on her own terms. If you want to expedite the process, then so be it. :V

>You try not to draw attention to the poltergeist.
>"Like I said, hair is easy," says Nue. "There's not much real work with that. Now, once you get into things like facial features, well, that takes some planning."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "What about clothing? Could you change color there?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "What about clothing? Could you change color there?"

>"My, you are nosy about this kind of thing, aren't you?" says Nue, waggling a finger. "Well, I'd like not to have to reveal too many of my secrets, but let's just say I've got the most extensive wardrobe you've ever seen outside of Kaguya's mansion."

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"I'm sorry; I'll stop asking questions."
>Discretely glance over at Shuuei.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Not to make excuses, but I am simply naturally curious. There is a lot to life about which I don't know; I would be doing myself wrong to not at least attempt to increase my knowledge when presented with the opportunity."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm sorry; I'll stop asking questions."
>Discretely glance over at Shuuei.

>Nue nods. "It's works less well when people understand it, you see. And we must all have our mystique, don't you think?"
>The poltergeist is still watching you.

> "Not to make excuses, but I am simply naturally curious. There is a lot to life about which I don't know; I would be doing myself wrong to not at least attempt to increase my knowledge when presented with the opportunity."

>"I know what you're saying," says Nue.

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"And I understand what you're saying."
>If we can do it without Nue noticing, beckon Shuuei forward.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Friend, I hope you have seen what has transpired here. From what I understand, and from what we have both now heard, it sounds like this is merely the beginning of what is possible."
