Sakuya Quest 3 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> Possibly a gate or service desk of some kind? Huh.
> Begin waking toward the desk, praying that one of the people behind it tells us what to do.

[Hello Purvis]

> Possibly a gate or service desk of some kind? Huh.
> Begin waking toward the desk, praying that one of the people behind it tells us what to do.

>You walk toward the desk.  One of the tengu looks up and says "I can take you, ma'am."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Walk over to the tengu in question.

[Hello Purvis]

> Walk over to the tengu in question.

>You approach the tengu, a shorter woman with neatly clipped dark hair. She gives you a polite smile and says, "What can we do for you today?"

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Smile in return.
> "Ah, yes, hello. I wish to know what it would take to get a picture of myself with my friend here..."
> Gesture to Flandre.
> "...from Miss Himekaidou. Who, I must say, seems to have done marvelously for herself, if this establishment is any indication."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Do you have an appointment?" the tengu says.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Blink.
> Look back at Flan and the hell raven.

[Hello Purvis]

> Blink.
> Look back at Flan and the hell raven.

>The hell raven shakes her head. "Afraid not."
>"That might be a little difficult," says the tengu. "Doess Miss Himekaidou have a particular reason she should be expecting you?"

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> What was our house's feelings on the matter of Hatate's report about Renko and Mary's fairy battle with us?

[Hello Purvis]

> What was our house's feelings on the matter of Hatate's report about Renko and Mary's fairy battle with us?

>It was an affront, but reasonably in good fun and thus forgiven. Renko was...acceptably gracious, in Remilia's viewpoint. Assisting in cleaning up their own mess immediately afterward was a good first step.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> So we did have active contact with Hatate afterward?

[Hello Purvis]

> So we did have active contact with Hatate afterward?

>There were certainly follow-ups and interviews and the like. She's certainly more welcome around than Aya was.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Look back to the tengu.
> "...She has not seen me in several hundred years, perhaps? I admit we were not unusually close, but I would like to think the story she wrote about my house being conquered by a massive, organized swarm of fairies being led by a human helped her career at least a little bit when it was still just beginning."

[Hello Purvis]

I admit we were not unusually close, but I would like to think the story she wrote about my house being conquered by a massive, organized swarm of fairies being led by a human helped her career at least a little bit when it was still just beginning."

>"You're human, aren't you?" says the tengu, her polite smile never wavering.

>_

[Monarda]

>"Correct, the name is Sakuya Izayoi, former head maid of the now long gone Scarlet Devil Mansion."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Correct, the name is Sakuya Izayoi, former head maid of the now long gone Scarlet Devil Mansion."

>"I'm having difficulty understanding how you could be here, then, and also have several centuries of history with Miss Himekaidou?" says the tengu. She's good, you could have made an excellent maid out of this one.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, it's not several centuries of history. I haven't been around since a few years after she printed that story I mentioned."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh, it's not several centuries of history. I haven't been around since a few years after she printed that story I mentioned."

>"Come again?" says the tengu.
>"She's a time traveler," says the hell raven. "Came from the past by accident."
>"Ah, is that so?" the tengu says, keeping any dismay from her face.
>"You gotta get to the point with this kind of thing, you know?" the hell raven says to you. "You give people the runaround like you did with me, and they won't have any idea what you're talking about."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Well, it just doesn`t feels right just saying right at the start that i`m from the past."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, it just doesn`t feels right just saying right at the start that i`m from the past."

>"Maybe," says the hell raven with a shrug.
>"Ah, might you have any other connections to Miss Himekaidou?" says the tengu. "You understand it is a little difficult to bother her over...that sort of unsubstantiated claim?"

>_

[Monarda]

>Is there any other significant event besides the Fairy one where we met with Hatate that we remember ?

[Hello Purvis]

>Is there any other significant event besides the Fairy one where we met with Hatate that we remember ?

>None that were particularly significant.  Mistress was a little irritated her efforts to conquer Bhava-Agra weren't given more attention, though it is likely for the better in the long run.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...I don't suppose her being much more welcome in our house than Miss Shamemaru counts?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "...I don't suppose her being much more welcome in our house than Miss Shamemaru counts?"

>"I doubt it would make much of a difference," says the tengu.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, has that rivalry cooled as well?"

[Serela]

>"Hmmm... if it's more that you don't believe my claim, which is admittedly rather dubious... perhaps if I could prove my identity? Hmm, this would be a decent story for the news if it was credible, wouldn't it? Someone travels centuries through time?"

...although maybe we don't want that much notoriety spreading? Well, before Purvis actually takes this action, what do you think Kilga?

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh, has that rivalry cooled as well?"

>"In some ways, yes," says the tengu. "Not in others."

>"Hmmm... if it's more that you don't believe my claim, which is admittedly rather dubious... perhaps if I could prove my identity? Hmm, this would be a decent story for the news if it was credible, wouldn't it? Someone travels centuries through time?"

>"It may interest Miss Himekaidou, yes," says the tengu.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I do at least have some currency from my era in my possession. I imagine Miss Himekaidou would also be aware that I had vanished however many years ago."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I do at least have some currency from my era in my possession. I imagine Miss Himekaidou would also be aware that I had vanished however many years ago."

>"Well, I suppose I had better check, just to be sure," says the tengu, as she picks up a curious-looking shell from her spot on the desk, and pushes a button on it. "Hello?" she says into the shell, "This is the front desk. We have a, um, time traveler who wants to speak with miss Himekaidou? Her name is Sakuya Izayoi, she claims to represent a Scarlet Devil Mansion?" After a moment, she adds, "Oh, is that so?"
>"Um?" Flandre says quietly, looking between you and the hell raven.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look at Flan and shrug.
