> Adopt a curious expression.
> Open the box.

>You have to pull the box closer to yourself, and Flandre's warnings are correct, it much heavier than it looks. But you manage. The remains of a thick layer of dust remain on it; Flandre tried to wipe it off, but after so much dust builds up you need to do more than just wipe to remove it. "I...sort of put it somewhere out of the way, and completely forgot about it over the centuries..." Flandre says, with a nervous chuckle. "I'm really sorry."

>Begin reading it.

>You begin to read it.
>"No doubt you are shocked to see this," it says. "But let us call this a message from the past. We, of course, have no idea where you might end up this time. Miss Kamishirasawa suggests you've been caught in some kind of cycle to ensure whatever is supposed to happen will happen, but We are...dubious. It doesn't seem so simple to us, and not even she has much faith in it. Regardless, I am writing this now because you have provided Us with a convenient loophole that We would exploit. No doubt, you have wondered long and hard about where We have gone. Well, We are under oath to tell no one among the living, but that hardly includes you are this time, does it? After all, you have vanished from the annals of history. So perhaps We are wasting our time? Or perhaps Flandre is being a naughty girl when We explicitly left instructions that this is for you only. Well, We cannot be blamed for that!"
>"Simply put, there is a place that needs Us, outside the Hakurei barrier. Miss Yukari told us, and showed us, quite a bit of it. Once it was a mighty empire, spanning nearly the entire planet. Yukari would have Us believe that it once posed a very real threat to Gensokyo, thus her interest. After some...actions on her part, it teeters at the brink of collapse. Perhaps she feels guilty for the fate of those whom this empire once ruled? Perhaps she simply wishes to make sure a steady hand guides it away from threatening Gensokyo once more? It does not matter, our sense of noblesse oblige will not allow us to turn a blind eye to the situation, and after much consideration We shall be leaving immediately to set things to rights. Perhaps, then, We may well journey back home and show that silly little republic that dare squat upon Our ancestral home exactly what we have to say about that."
>"Do not think for a moment it is coincidence that this tablet has found. We have specifically carved stone to make sure it will not fall prey to some clumsy faerie dropping wine or a candle on it. We intend it to survive the ages to reach you, because it will reach you. That is fate. As well, Sakuya, never forget that fate binds us. We shall find you once more, when you've stepped back into the annals of history. And, as a final note, should you find yourself back to your proper era, be so kind as not to mention these details to us? It has weighed heavily upon Us already, and we would rather not have that begin before its time! We are certain Yukari would rather you not mention its contents to anyone, but you're hardly bound by vows to her. Though We would ask that it be kept a strict secret from all if you should return to the mansion before We should leave."

So, I'm guessing this is relating to a past Z-Machine Adventure?

Only tangentially. It is not as though we can follow Remilia, and even if we could, the details of that game wouldn't really help at all.

I understand, but I don't see why you can't tell me which game it was for those who are just interested in understanding the lore more?

Because then parts of that other game would refer to yet another previous game, which would lead to you having to read that one first, then the same thing happens again.

Purvis is one hard working parser, he has more quests under his belt than inches, and all of them are connected in some sort of lore web.

There was a Kisume Quest??

Man I don't even remember that one being a thing. I thought the last ones were like... Miko Yukari Iku Maribel Utsuho Reisen in some order... oh god there's so many

edit:Wait Miko was just Sword Quest wasn't it, it was miko -and- youmu and it swapped? ...I'm getting disconnected, here

>Recall if the meeting with the Hakutaku went much differently between the two timelines, apart from the matter of actually finding her.

(oh wait I shouldn't be editing in commands like 10 minutes later derpderp. I'll just repost it after if it's missed)
