Parsee Quest

[Hello Purvis]

>Thinks she's so big just because she can shove her hand in a fire. What the hell kind of ability is that, ability tobe stupid and get away with it?!
>What time of day should it, by underground reckoning, anyways?
>"And no one else has tried to do anything about that moon, huh?"

>"And no one else has tried to do anything about that moon, huh?"

> Tsk (╬ ಠ益ಠ)
> It's probably night right now, but not very late into the night.
> "Well one of the mountain goddesses is trying to knock the moon from the sky, if that counts.  Everyone's in a metaphorical hangover right now."

> _

[Sect]

> One of the mountain goddesses is... what? You know what, never mind.

> Well, speaking of hangovers... "Do you know a lot of the people up here? I'm looking for an oni named Suika."

> One of the mountain goddesses is... what? You know what, never mind.

> Well, speaking of hangovers... "Do you know a lot of the people up here? I'm looking for an oni named Suika."

> You'll worry about that later.
> "Let's see, there's Keine, the eel cart lady, those guys from Eie--Suika?  Um, I don't know..."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh well. I guess things have been kinda rough around here, haven't they?"

[日巫子]

>"Oh well. I guess things have been kinda rough around here, haven't they?"

> "Yeah."
> "So...how did you not know about it?"

> _

[Whatthe]

> Does the potato woman sound like she's suspicious of us, just curious, or what?

[日巫子]

> Does the potato woman sound like she's suspicious of us, just curious, or what?

> She sounds curious...and a little confused.

[Kasu]

> "Lets just say I'm not exactly from your neck of the woods."

[日巫子]

> "Lets just say I'm not exactly from your neck of the woods, though I did experience the earthquake."

> "'Kay then."  She doesn't question you furthur than that.
> Cirno keeps glancing at the village, as if she expects something to jump out of it.
> The woman briefly glances at Cirno but says nothing.

> _

[Kasu]

> Glare at the moon.
> Observe surroundings for anything of interest.
> Much on 'tato.

[日巫子]

> Glare at the moon.
> Observe surroundings for anything of interest.
> Much on 'tato.

> You glare at the moon.  The image of the woman engraved in it still looks like it's crying, so you can at least pretend your glare had some effect.
> You look around.  There's the broken village, some expansive fields, and...you think you can see something tall on the other side of the village.  Bamboo?
> You finish eating the sweet potato.  The Underground needs to plant more of these.

> _

[Kasu]

Who else thinks we might want to work with Keine to get the moon back?

[Sect]

> "So, this 'Keine' person is the village protector, right? She would know a lot of people?"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"And what's your name?"

[日巫子]

> "So, this 'Keine' person is the village protector, right? She would know a lot of people?"

> "Right."

>"And what's your name?"

> "...Fujiwara no Mokou."

> _

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Do you anything about what sort of... Personal problems are that Keine is going through?"

>"Reckon we could help in anyway?" (Pat Cirno on the head at the end of this line.)

[Hello Purvis]

>Belay that last part, we're Parsee, we don't give a shit about people's problems. Instead say, "Anyone tried to do anything for her?"

[Sect]

Well, we should probably confirm that she can actually help us before we ask about helping her. But I don't see any harm in asking.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

... I don't mind, listen to Purvis on that one. Don't mind me. ^^

[日巫子]

Okay, we go with Purvis?

>"Do you anything about what sort of... Personal problems are that Keine is going through?"

>Belay that last part, we're Parsee, we don't give a shit about people's problems. Instead say, "Anyone tried to do anything for her?"

> "She can't transform with the moon like this.  There's also the Bamboo Forest, but I'm not the one to go to about that."
> "We're just trying to get the village back on its feet."

> _

[Sect]

> "You keep mentioning the Bamboo Forest. What's so special about it?"

> I'm pretty sure that we've hit up Mokou on as much information as we could, so now's probably the time to continue on into the Village to find Keine, since she sounds like she might know about Konngara, Suika, or Koishi.

[Hello Purvis]

>"So what's the deal with that whole vanishing when things get back thing? Sounds like it'd be pretty useful, but I guess it didn't do that much for you guys."

[Sect]

> Well, judging by what Mokou said about hiding the village in her mouth, obviously it means that this "Keine" lady eats the village whenever bad things go down, and spits it back up when things settle down. Which, now that we think about it, sounds pretty gross.

> "Ohhhh man.  It got hit pretty hard.  One of the rabbits in there went crazy.  Like I said, though, her majesty will gladly tell anyone who will listen," Mokou says, stressing the 'her majesty' part with sarcasm.  Cirno giggles like a little kid at this.
> You figure Keine would know something.

>"So what's the deal with that whole vanishing when things get back thing? Sounds like it'd be pretty useful, but I guess it didn't do that much for you guys."

> "It worked pretty well, until Keine and I were called in."

> Well, judging by what Mokou said about hiding the village in her mouth, obviously it means that this "Keine" lady eats the village whenever bad things go down, and spits it back up when things settle down. Which, now that we think about it, sounds pretty gross.

> Ew that's really gross.  You wouldn't want to be in the village if she were to do that.

[Hello Purvis]

>Look around. Is there anything else of interest?

[日巫子]

>Look around. Is there anything else of interest?

> At the moment, you don't see anything of interest in this particular area.

> _

[Sect]

> Well, I think now's a good time to move on. Let's thank Mokou for the taters, move away from the warm fire ( ;_; ), and find Keine in the village. She can't be too hard to find, if she can swallow the entire village.

> Well, I think now's a good time to move on. Let's thank Mokou for the taters, move away from the warm fire ( ;_; ), and find Keine in the village. She can't be too hard to find, if she can swallow the entire village.

> You and Cirno thank Mokou for the food, and then head on to the village.  Mokou nods once, but doesn't say anything.
> When you walk into the village, you notice that it's not very crowded.  It's night now, so there aren't a lot of people roaming the streets.  A few people give Cirno dirty looks, but no one approaches.

> _

[Sect]

> To Cirno: "Do you know where Keine might be?"

> If she doesn't know, then we'll ask a random bystander.
