Alice Quest - The Seven-Colored Puppeteer's Week v1.3

[Hello Purvis]

>"Going this way."

[Neovereign]

>"Going this way."

> "You can't."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Why not?"

[Neovereign]

>"Why not?"

> "Because we're not going to let you. Don't think you can just ignore us."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Why would you not let me?"

[Neovereign]

>"Why would you not let me?"

> "Because you're with her."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"So? What's that got to do with anything. You guys can sort this out after we're done, surely?"

[Neovereign]

>"So? What's that got to do with anything. You guys can sort this out after we're done, surely?"

> "You're not just going to fool us like that. Are you just scared of us?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

"No, I'm busy."

[Neovereign]

"No, I'm busy."

> "What's so important that's got you in a hurry?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Unfortunately, I don't quite know the details. Simply that it will be profitable."

[Neovereign]

>"Unfortunately, I don't quite know the details. Simply that it will be profitable."

> "What do you mean you don't know!?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I mean exactly as I say. Now please excuse us."

[Neovereign]

>"I mean exactly as I say. Now please excuse us."

> "What if we get some for you when we come back?"
> "Huh?" The girls question.
> "You'll be fine with waiting for us then, right?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes, that would be a fine solution, don't you two agree?"

[Neovereign]

>"Yes, that would be a fine solution, don't you two agree?"

> "What will you be bringing back?"
> "Aw, that's part of the surprise you know. I mean, if you know what you're gonna get, and you get it, then what? It just happens. It's all static and boring. You thank us and we leave, then we never meet again. No one remembers each other and all is forgotten." Your guide exaggerates.
> "But if you're in the dark..." She continues. "You'll be in wonder of what we could bring back."
> It doesn't seem like she's done talking yet...
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"The surprise is the seasoning that makes a good gift into a great gift. It enhances the experience. So, we'll be off to handle that."

[Neovereign]

>"The surprise is the seasoning that makes a good gift into a great gift. It enhances the experience. So, we'll be off to handle that."

> "...Don't take too long then."
> "Hey, we're the ones getting it for you. We can't just blaze through it."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Let's carry on, then."

[Neovereign]

>"Let's carry on, then."

> "Mhm."
> "Hang on a moment! We'll go with you. To make sure you're not trying to trick us."
> "What about the surprise though?"
> "We still won't know what is ours when we get there, so the surprise is maintained!"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"But then wouldn't have time to prepare and wrap it."

[Neovereign]

>"But then wouldn't have time to prepare and wrap it."

> "Oh... Okay. See you next time then."
> It's starting to snow...
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow that Marisa!

[Neovereign]

>Follow that Marisa!

> You return to following your guide.
> As you leave the cold area, the snow transitions into what seems to be hail.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Is it hard enough to sting?

[Neovereign]

>Is it hard enough to sting?

> No. You're starting to get rather cold though. Moreso than when you were with those two.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Just huddle up and continue on for now.

[Neovereign]

>Just huddle up and continue on for now.

> You keep yourself going.
> The hail is getting worse. It might actually be best to get shelter at this point...
> "Hey, you alright?" Your companion asks.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"...Not really. I need some kind of place to wait this out. Or fitting clothes."

[Neovereign]

>"...Not really. I need some kind of place to wait this out. Or fitting clothes."

> "Seems like there's something not too far up ah-"
> You come to again...
> Marisa's here. The actual one. As are your dolls.
