Alice Quest - The Seven-Colored Puppeteer's Week v2

[Neovereign]

> You are Alice Margatroid, a magician living within the Forest of Magic.

> You've had another dream. This time however, you kept from any confrontations. Maybe you just slept wrong the first night... The dreams are in the back of your mind however, as you have more important things going on.

> Experimentation with the Glamour Mushrooms have, so far, shown fantastic results in each and every consumer. In order to increase research and development, you've gained the aid of the Aki sisters. However, even that was put back in favor of spending a day with Hong Meiling in the Human Village after having helped her grow big.

> The day has nearly gone with very few problems, and you and Meiling and sitting on a hill within the Forest of Magic, winding down.

>"Well, I hope you are more grateful this way."

> "I am." Meiling nods.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Smile.
>"Good, I've quite enjoyed it myself."

[Neovereign]

>Smile.
>"Good, I've quite enjoyed it myself."

> "I thought as much." Meiling smiles.

[Hello Purvis]

>Squeeze her hand again, and let our touch linger.
>If she doesn't seem to pull away, say, "Is this fine?"

[Neovereign]

>Squeeze her hand again, and let our touch linger.
>If she doesn't seem to pull away, say, "Is this fine?"

> You squeeze again.
> "It's been fine since after the first time."

[Hello Purvis]

>"It's nice to hear, though."

[Neovereign]

>"It's nice to hear, though."

> "Then I'll humor you. It's fine~" Meiling says again.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I do like to be humored."

[Neovereign]

>"I do like to be humored."

> "It's nice, even. They're smooth."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Chuckle.
>"Thank you, Meiling."

[Neovereign]

>Chuckle.
>"Thank you, Meiling."

> "You must really take care of yourself well. And to have time to come up with things like size changing too... Maybe it's not time, but skill instead."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"It helps that I generally have few obligations to worry about. You have so many that you need to keep happy, I just have myself."

[Neovereign]

>"It helps that I generally have few obligations to worry about. You have so many that you need to keep happy, I just have myself."

> "What about your dolls? At least those two usually with you?"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well. They kind of bend to my whims, in the end. I do try to be kind, though."

[Neovereign]

>"Well. They kind of bend to my whims, in the end. I do try to be kind, though."

> "Ah. Well, there's ups and downs for both of our situations I guess."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"True."
>Let's enjoy the forest quietly for a little bit, and see what Meiling says or does.

[Neovereign]

>"True."
>Let's enjoy the forest quietly for a little bit, and see what Meiling says or does.

> You sit in silence...
> "I'm glad we didn't stay inside somewhere." Meiling says. "It's almost always better being out here when the weather is well."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I tend to stay cooped up inside with a book or working on my dolls. But you are right."

[Neovereign]

>"I tend to stay cooped up inside with a book or working on my dolls. But you are right."

> "Try it when you have free time. In fact, feel free to hang around outside if you aren't at the mansion for Patchouli."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I might well be making quite a bit of time for that in the future."

[Neovereign]

>"I might well be making quite a bit of time for that in the future."

> "Nice to know."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"And by that token, I do hope to know when you'll have time off in the future."

[Neovereign]

>"And by that token, I do hope to know when you'll have time off in the future."

> "I'll definitely work harder for more then. I'll have whole weeks off by the next time you ask!" Meiling boasts.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh I doubt you'll be free before I can ask again."
>Lay back and appreciate the stars.

[Neovereign]

>"Oh I doubt you'll be free before I can ask again."
>Lay back and appreciate the stars.

> "You'll ask right away huh?" Meiling looks over to you as you lie back.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Within a day, I imagine~"

[Neovereign]

>"Within a day, I imagine~"

> "Then I'll try my hardest still!"
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Chuckle.
>"I shouldn't doubt you, after today."

[Neovereign]

>Chuckle.
>"I shouldn't doubt you, after today."

> "I'll make you proud." Meiling grins.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Glance at her and smile.
>"Prouder, I should say."
