Sakuya Quest 5 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>"You should try reading a bit more, some books might teach you something no manual can."

>"Hey, you were the one that didn't even know there were a bunch of Hakurei Shrines," says Mitsu.

[the old guy]

>"Thats because i'm from a different time, ignorance towards this place from me is to be excepted. And i'm trying to learn."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Thats because i'm from a different time, ignorance towards this place from me is to be excepted. And i'm trying to learn."

>She just shifts a little, glancing out the window. "Still, though."

>_

[Monarda]

>"And i can't really spare any more time to learn more about this world, as fascinating as it is, i must go back to the Mistress and Young Mistress in my time and do my duties, and i also left someone very important behind, someone special to me."

[Hello Purvis]

>"And i can't really spare any more time to learn more about this world, as fascinating as it is, i must go back to the Mistress and Young Mistress in my time and do my duties, and i also left someone very important behind, someone special to me."

>"Oh, really?" says Mitsu.

>_

[Monarda]

>"Yes... and all this time, she never forgot me, she never gave up on me...."
>Let our expression wave just a sliver of a second, then go back to normal.
>"That is also why i must go back, that is the place i am supposed to be at."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes... and all this time, she never forgot me, she never gave up on me...."
>Let our expression wave just a sliver of a second, then go back to normal.
>"That is also why i must go back, that is the place i am supposed to be at."

>"...Oh," says Mitsu.

[Monarda]

>"You know... you seem quite interested in my time period... you would like to know more of it ?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"You know... you seem quite interested in my time period... you would like to know more of it ?"

>"I suppose," she says, her voice a bit less enthusiastic than before.

>_

[Monarda]

>"Is something wrong ? You seem a bit down."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Is something wrong ? You seem a bit down."

>"It's nothing," she says.

[Serela]

She was crushing on us to some degree, that much was obvious- and we just told her we're already taken. On what was, to some light, casual degree, sort of but not really a date?

...yeah I don't know what to say now that she's down, it's a somewhat awkward and delicate situation. We agreed to an "early dinner" with some implied connotations (as light as they may have been- it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable for us to be oblivious, but...) and then shot her down after it started. :S But try to be tactful.

[Monarda]

I know ! I couldn`t think of anything else though, and Kilga was nowhere to be seen.

>"Cheer up then, if it`s nothing then it wouldn`t hurt to smile a little."
>Smile at her.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Cheer up then, if it`s nothing then it wouldn`t hurt to smile a little."
>Smile at her.

>She just makes kind of a complicated expression and stares out the window.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

Oh hey this thing exists.

> Sip our tea again, wait a few moments to see if she'll say something.

You guys want to play oblivious to the obvious crush or do you guys want to actually address it?

[Serela]

It might be best to address it so we can apologize or something. We kind of blundered the situation up and it's going to be really awkward if we just leave things as-is.

[Hello Purvis]

> Sip our tea again, wait a few moments to see if she'll say something.

>It seems things are falling into an uncomfortable silence.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Put the tea back down, take a deep breath.

> "Mitsu." say this in as caring a tone as we possibly can, wait for her to turn in our direction - even if she can't look us in the eyes.

> "First, forgive me for the untactfulness before this point, I'll admit I could've handled the situation better."

> "That said, there is someone back in my time that is waiting for me - and I know this because in ths time, she searched for me for a very long time."

> "This is not to say you have been an ungracious host - not by a long shot - but I hope you understand that the feelings that she has for me are very much mutual."

> "It is very much my fault for giving you false hope with all of this, and for that, I can only apologize."

IF YOU HAVE OBJECTIONS TO THIS PLEASE BELAY IT I AM BAD WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF

>She looks back toward you. "...Why'd you do it, then?" she says.

>_

[Monarda]

>Look slightly puzzled.
>"Do what ?"

[Kilgamayan]

>Look slightly puzzled.
>"Do what ?"

> Don't say this.

> "I didn't want to assume."

[Hello Purvis]

>Look slightly puzzled.
>"Do what ?"

> Don't say this.

> "I didn't want to assume."

>"Oh," she says. She fidgets a little, looking away. "I...guess that makes sense? Sorry..."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a sympathetic look.
> "It's quite alright. I'm sorry as well."

[Hello Purvis]

> Give a sympathetic look.
> "It's quite alright. I'm sorry as well."

>"Thanks..." she mumbles.

>_

[Monarda]

>"But... that doesn't mean we can't be friends, you look like a very enjoyable person, and it wouldn't do to stop our acquaintance from becoming a friendship just because of this."

[Hello Purvis]

>"But... that doesn't mean we can't be friends, you look like a very enjoyable person, and it wouldn't do to stop our acquaintance from becoming a friendship just because of this."

>She nods, sipping her tea and looking toward the table.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look around for Nue.

[Monarda]

//Oh right !

>"Now, could you tell me more about those contraptions i see on the streets ? They look rather curious."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look around for Nue.

>Nue seems to be speaking with her tengu assistant right now, while cleaning up some plates. She seems to be mostly done with the latter.

>"Now, could you tell me more about those contraptions i see on the streets ? They look rather curious."

>"They're called called auto-movers," says Mitsu, "But there's a whole bunch of different kinds, and the makers give them different names and even the same kind sometimes get difefrent ones, since there's different makers. They've been pretty trendy for awhile now."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Auto-movers... i wonder how they work... could you try to explain it to me Mitsu ?"
