Sakuya Quest 5 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> "Where is your Mistress?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Where is your Mistress?"

>"I don't have a mistress, you stupid frilly thief!" the kid shouts. "Get outta here before I get you in the knees or something!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown and cross our arms.
> "Then who is the Mistress of this land?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown and cross our arms.
> "Then who is the Mistress of this land?"

>"That's Yuyuko, dummy!" says the kid. "I bet you think you can just kill me and take what you want, but you'd be messing up big time because I'd just turn into a ghost and bite your heart!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Looks like some things never change.
> "And where is she?"

[Monarda]

>Well, it`s not like he haven`t seen stuff that didn`t change before here, Reimu for example didn`t change in her overall nature, nor did a part of our Young Mistress`s attitude.

[Hello Purvis]

> Looks like some things never change.
> "And where is she?"

>Well, it`s not like he haven`t seen stuff that didn`t change before here, Reimu for example didn`t change in her overall nature, nor did a part of our Young Mistress`s attitude.

>Same as it ever was. Then again, you can't say the Netherworld looks noticeably different than your recollection.
>She waves her stick, swiping it through the air at what would be knee levels for you. "That's none of your-!"
>"I'm right here," comes Yuyuko's voice, as she descends from above, and comes to a landing near the child. She gives you a smile, and places a hand on the child's shoulder. "My, I've been expecting you! Although, perhaps not quite so corporeal?"

>_

[Monarda]

>"Well, that`s because i am in fact still alive, it is a long story, but we should have time yes ?"

//Simple, so i guess it`s alright, is it ?

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, that`s because i am in fact still alive, it is a long story, but we should have time yes ?"

>"Oh yes, certainly!" says Yuyuko.
>"Who is this, mama?" says the kid. "I think she's a thief, do the butterfly thing!"
>"No no, Midge," says Yuyuko, shaking her head. "She's an old acquaintance."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Keep up the frown, but blink in surprise.
> "...Mama? You?"

[Monarda]

>"Well that is something i did not expect, well, although i should have considering all that happened here in this time."

[Hello Purvis]

> Keep up the frown, but blink in surprise.
> "...Mama? You?"

>"Well that is something i did not expect, well, although i should have considering all that happened here in this time."

>"Yeah, so lay off!" says the kid, whom you presume is Midge.
>Yuyuko chuckles and approaches, guiding the young girl along with her. "So it seems!" As Midge approaches, you're quite certain she is foreign, and doesn't seem to resemble Yuyuko in any meaningful way. ...Perhaps they have similar noses?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Regardless, I am here about a certain former retainer of yours, who took a certain highly offensive action against the mistress of my house, presumably on your orders."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Regardless, I am here about a certain former retainer of yours, who took a certain highly offensive action against the mistress of my house, presumably on your orders."

>"Ah, I'm afraid you've missed her by some centuries," says Yuyuko. "But do go on."
>"Is she's trying to start something, mama?" says Midge, glancing toward Yuyuko, then giving you a dirty look.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "She may be gone, but you are still here."

[the old guy]

>No, it can't be, if she really was Yuyuko's child, she'd be a half-ghost. It's just yuyuko being yuyuko.

[Hello Purvis]

> "She may be gone, but you are still here."

>"That would be why I said, "Do go on,"" says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I am here for some sort of statement on why you ordered what you ordered."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I am here for some sort of statement on why you ordered what you ordered."

>"Mmm, that may take awhile," says Yuyuko, frowning. "To be honest, I entirely forgotten the whole thing even happened, it's been so long ago."
>Midge looks between the two of you, also frowning.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I can wait."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I can wait."

>"So you can," says Yuyuko. "Might I interest you in some tea, or perhaps dinner in the meantime?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Tea, if you must."

[Hello Purvis]

> "...Tea, if you must."

>"Midge, would you be so kind to run ahead and tell the others to have the Amaranth room prepared?" Yuyuko.
>"Got it!" says Midge, before she runs off eastward.
>"Do accept my apologies, it has been an awful long time," says Yuyuko. She begins to drift eastward. "I need to remember all the aspects of the event. If I may, what is it you are hoping to gain?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What was going on when Youmu showed up to kill Remilia?
> Follow the ghost.
> "Closure, in general. Remorse is ideal but honestly not expected, particularly if you've simply forgotten you ordered your retainer to kill my mistress."

[Hello Purvis]

> What was going on when Youmu showed up to kill Remilia?
> Follow the ghost.
> "Closure, in general. Remorse is ideal but honestly not expected, particularly if you've simply forgotten you ordered your retainer to kill my mistress."

>There was a significant heat wave, which seems to be the result of Yuuka trying to eliminate winter. Patchouli was also going on about some ghost following her around, but not a real ghost. Something else. You never got the details, and she seemed to let the subject drop.
>"I do remember, now that you mention it," says Yuyuko. "The circumstances are just a bit hazy now. Hmmm. Was it the time the sleepy magician visited?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Possibly? Lady Patchouli was inordinately out and about those days. It was when Yuuka tried to eliminate winter."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Possibly? Lady Patchouli was inordinately out and about those days. It was when Yuuka tried to eliminate winter."

>"Mmm," says Yuyuko. "Hm, yes. I do recall something like that. I believe she had a hanger on, so to speak?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Some ghost that was not a real ghost. I've no idea what happened there."

[Monarda]

//Getting rid of winter ? Really ? That is just plain stupid, all the collateral effects that would happen, it would do much more harm to the flowers than good, not to mention the other kinds of life like the animals that act in the pollination.

[Monarda]

//Sorry for the rant and double post.
