[Kilgamayan]

> "Until we meet again."
> Exit the museum through the nearest exit.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Until we meet again."
> Exit the museum through the nearest exit.

>"Until then," says the youkai.
>You exit the museum, Alice quietly following you.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Alice.
> "I'm not sure how many people will fit into the flying chariot machine. It may end up being best for you to return home and continuing your studies. If this happens, would I be able to call upon you again later?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Look to Alice.
> "I'm not sure how many people will fit into the flying chariot machine. It may end up being best for you to return home and continuing your studies. If this happens, would I be able to call upon you again later?"

>Alice nods. "I would be content to wait until your return."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thank you. It is much appreciated. But let us re-examine this machine before we determine what to do next, shall we?"
> Take flight and head toward the kappa's barn.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Thank you. It is much appreciated. But let us re-examine this machine before we determine what to do next, shall we?"
> Take flight and head toward the kappa's barn.

>Alice nods, and you take flight.
>It takes a few minutes to make your way back to the northern edge of town. However, it isn't too difficult to locate the converted barn from there; the pond stands out from the air.

[Kilgamayan]

Man, my memory this game is complete shit.

> Head to the bard door and ring the bell.

[Hello Purvis]

> Head to the bard door and ring the bell.

>You make your way to the door and ring the bell. You can hear the occupant running toward the door, before it opens.
>"Hi!" the kappa says brightly, "I'm glad you came back!" Then she looks over toward Alice, and says, "Oh, you brought a friend?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hello again. And, ah, sort of. How many people will fit into that machine while it transports us, including you?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hello again. And, ah, sort of. How many people will fit into that machine while it transports us, including you?"

>"Just the two of us," says the kappa, sounding a lot less sure than before.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Grimace just a little bit.
> "There is no way to position a third person inside?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Grimace just a little bit.
> "There is no way to position a third person inside?"

>"Maybe someone small..." says the kappa, shifting from one foot to the other, looking away. "It'd be really uncomfortable..."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How large is Nue, compared to us?
> Look to Alice.
> "I believe this is where we part ways for the time being, then. I wish I could have offered you a quick ride home, but it seems such is not in the cards."

> "I believe this is where we part ways for the time being, then. I wish I could have offered you a quick ride home, but it seems such is not in the cards."

>She is a little shorter than you.
>"Would you prefer for me to wait here?" says Alice.
>"Do you have a destination in mind?" the Kappa says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shake head at Alice.
> "No, you can return home. I do not know how long this will take, particularly if it eventually involves a trip to Haihan."
> Look back to Mitsu.
> "A few. Ideally, at the very least, I would like to head to the Netherworld, Apex, and True Glorian, on top of Haihan eventually. The grounds at the Golden Lake where the Scarlet Devil Mansion once stood would also be nice but are not necessary."

>"I will wait, regardless," says Alice. "There's little I can do at home right now, and it will be easier to meet back here."
>"There's a nice little tavern just up the road," says the Kappa, gesturing toward the city. "They have good fried cucumbers!"
>"That will do," says Alice.
>You look to Mitsu and name some of your destinations. She starts to fidget again. "I can't do some of those..." she says. "No place to land."

>_

[Serela]

>"That's understandable. Which ones can you do?"

[Suwako Moriya]

> "And for those where you cannot land directly, a landing site somewhat nearby would do. I imagine the Netherworld in particular would be difficult to approach directly."

[Hello Purvis]

>"That's understandable. Which ones can you do?"

> "And for those where you cannot land directly, a landing site somewhat nearby would do. I imagine the Netherworld in particular would be difficult to approach directly."

>"Golden Lake is right out," says Mitsu, examining the ground. "Apex too. Well, I guess we could get close to it, though? Same with the netherworld."
>She shifts onto her other foot. "I don't even know where True Glorian is, does it have any large empty fields?"

 >_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Did we see any large open areas near True Glorian when we were flying away from it? Or was it all too forested?
> "True Glorian is far to the south, well past a bunch of farmlands."

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we see any large open areas near True Glorian when we were flying away from it? Or was it all too forested?
> "True Glorian is far to the south, well past a bunch of farmlands."

>You saw mostly forest. There were some places cut away from fields, but not all that much. And you don't think anyone would appreciate you landing in their field.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Frown a bit.
> "Sadly, most of it that I recall was forested."

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown a bit.
> "Sadly, most of it that I recall was forested."

>"...Sorry," says Mitsu, looking away again, shuffling her feet.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "No matter. We can only do what is in our capabilities. Perhaps it will be worth an investigation regardless. Anyway, I would like to go as close as you can take me to the Netherworld, please."

[Hello Purvis]

> "No matter. We can only do what is in our capabilities. Perhaps it will be worth an investigation regardless. Anyway, I would like to go as close as you can take me to the Netherworld, please."

>"Sure!" she says. "...Um, right now?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Is that a problem?"
> Ask this as non-aggressively as possible.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Is that a problem?"
> Ask this as non-aggressively as possible.

>"No! No! Not at all!" Mitsu says. "Just, I wanted to be sure."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Relax, no need to get so worked up."
>Slight smile.
>"If anything i should be grateful for your aid."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Relax, no need to get so worked up."
>Slight smile.
>"If anything i should be grateful for your aid."

>She reddens a little. "It's okay, it's okay!" she says. "Thank you for coming! Uh, should we...go now?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "If you don't mind."
