Patchy Quest: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>"I don't suppose you know of any way to counteract amnesia? Several seem to find it familiar, but..."
>shake head
>"No matter; I'll see about alternatives for the heat. Rinnosuke had some way, but I doubt he'd part with it easily..."
>add 'Nitori making another Rinnosuke cold-box' to notes
>excuse thyself to ask the Captain what sorrows her so

>"I believe Eirin can do something for it," says Kaguya.
>She nods in reply to your offer.
>You go talk with Murasa. "Who're you?" she asks. "You need something?"

[E-Nazrin]

>"Mostly curious. I got the impression you were upset, earlier."
>contemplate stealing Cirno's mike and showing her the Proper way to do it

[Hello Purvis]

>"Mostly curious. I got the impression you were upset, earlier."
>contemplate stealing Cirno's mike and showing her the Proper way to do it

>"Eh. Just being myself," says Murasa. "What're you doing out in this heat, anyways? Even the Buddha wouldn't have patience for it after the fourth day."
>You've never busted any rhymes before, but apparently neither has Cirno.

[E-Nazrin]

>"Either putting an end to it or finding a way to make it not affect my books. Maybe both. You?"
>oxidize

[Hello Purvis]

>"Either putting an end to it or finding a way to make it not affect my books. Maybe both. You?"
>oxidize

>"Dunno how you'd deal with a heat wave," says Murasa, giving an exaggerated shrug. "And me, mostly looking for a way to help Hijiri out with that temple of hers. We've got the will, just not, y'know, the know how. Or the money. I was kinda hoping to see if they had some good cheap bamboo here, but what they got they intend to use."
>You consciously think about your breathing. Ah hell, now you gotta think about doing it or it gets messed up now. Such a pain.

[E-Nazrin]

>oxygenarianize
>"I spoke with Minoriko, actually. She said the heat was 'fighting her,' though neither of us really know what to do about that."
>recall if you have any books on architecture or construction in the library

[Fightest]

> "The kappas know how to build, try them."
> Recall your wealth of civil engineering knowledge, jot down a few key statistics and material properties, along with a basic design for an adequate temple.
> Consider further a rap battle with Cirno. That fairy needs to get served.

>"They ain't cheap," says Murasa. "I can tell you that for a fact."
>You've researched civil engineering in the past, but a lot of it has not stuck with you. You would need to study again.
>You could probably flow better than she is, at the very least. As long as you could come up with something to actually say.

>channel Chiyo-chan

>You could be hardcore! All you need are some rhymes.

[E-Nazrin]

>"I may be able to help with information for the temple, if you have to do the construction yourselves. I know there are books in my collection about building techniques... but I suppose that would be a secondary priority. Consider it, if all else fails. But I'll want something in return for access to them..."
>"In fact, for the offer alone, I'd like to ask if you know anything about any of these."
>show components list

>Murasa nods. "That'd be mighty helpful. Having a good plan to start with means we don't have to redo it later."
>Murasa looks over the list. "Never was good at wizard stuff," she mutters. "About that sun thingie, isn't there some crow who knows about that stuff?"

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"I wonder if the Underground is this bloody hot. I'm going to have to visit sooner or later, it appears."
>"... do you know of any... 'secret' items? There's an... odd girl who asked me for items 'with secret in the name.'"

>"What, like this?" Murasa produces a Secret Box from her pocket.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Apparently, yes. Care to share its story?"
>blame Nazrin
>check inventory for thefts again

[Hello Purvis]

>"Apparently, yes. Care to share its story?"
>blame Nazrin
>check inventory for thefts again

>"Found it back when we were running around to free Hijiri. Looked pretty, so I kept it."
>Goddamn Rodent
>You have all the items you had the last time you checked; as well as your socks.

[E-Nazrin]

>"I don't suppose you know what's inside? Or is that the 'secret'?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I don't suppose you know what's inside? Or is that the 'secret'?"

>"Just a pretty silk lining," says Murasa. "Unless it's got some hidden drawer I ain't seen."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"May I see it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"May I see it?"

>Murasa shrugs and offers it to you. The Secret Box is made of polished mahogany and looks rather classy.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>open box
>examine silk, box interior

[Hello Purvis]

>open box
>examine silk, box interior

>You open the box, and see it is lined with cream-colored silk. The box is empty, and running your fingers along the interior doesn't seem to suggest anything different.

[E-Nazrin]

>"Curious. Well, as I already told you, I'd rather like to have this. How valuable would you consider it, then?"
>inventory
>attempt to recall phat beats from others to steal

>"What've you got?" Murasa says. "I'm thinkin' it won't hurt to hand off if you can promise us some of that help you were talkin' about."

>"I had thought of that, myself. Very well, let's consider this a promise, then? Just tell the gate guard who sent you... and be careful with them. In this heat, the ink tends to runs if you even touch it. Quite a nuisance."

[M. Burusu]

>There was Banson's Aria

>Attempt to recall the lyrics to it, if at all possible.
>If not possible, make a mental note (wasting paper is bad, mmkay?) to either copy them down or acquire the book the next time we're at Rinnosuke's place.

[Kasu]

> Bid everyone in the room farewell.
> Avert your eyes from Reisen on the way out of Eientei.
> Head for the village.
> Keep an eye and an ear out for Tewi.
