Iku Quest Che'tyrnadsat: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown and gesture to the stand.
> "Then I will report you both to Lord Tenma for disruption of a civilian business!"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown and gesture to the stand.
> "Then I will report you both to Lord Tenma for disruption of a civilian business!"

>"It's well under control," Nue says.
>"Oh you're going to see what control is!" Aya shouts.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How's that charge coming?
> "You are risking Miss Lorelei customers with your selfish foolishness! Lord Tenma would be appalled by this shameless display!"

[Hello Purvis]

> How's that charge coming?
> "You are risking Miss Lorelei customers with your selfish foolishness! Lord Tenma would be appalled by this shameless display!"

>You'll need to build it more to make any kind of blinding flash.
>"Okay, fine," says Nue. "Sorry Aya, you're not worth fighting anyways!"
>Aya shows no signs of letting up at the moment; you're not certain she's really paying attention to you at at moment.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Aya! Calm down! Do you want to get into further trouble?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Aya! Calm down! Do you want to get into further trouble?"

>"I'm not putting up with this from her anymore!" Aya shouts, while Nue dodges between her shots.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Be better than her, then! Beat her in sales, not in this!"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Be better than her, then! Beat her in sales, not in this!"

> I can do both!" Aya shouts.
>Then you become aware of a flash below Aya. She seems fairly startled by it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look down.

[Hello Purvis]

> Look down.

>You look down, about the same time Aya does, in time to see another flash.
>Momiji is hovering just below, holding up the camera, her tail wagging. "Gotcha."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Grin.
> "Well done, Miss Inubashiri."

[Hello Purvis]

> Grin.
> "Well done, Miss Inubashiri."

>"Did you actually..." Aya says, seeming to be a bit in shock from the sudden shift in mood.
>"Yep," says Momiji.
>"Just had to get you good and distracted, first." says Nue, her voice sounding natural now. Aya looks up at her with obvious irritation, though there's definitely an element of confusion to it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Turn to Nue.
> "May I assume you planned to instigate that fight the entire time, and did not tell me so my attempts to calm it down would be all the more genuine?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Turn to Nue.
> "May I assume you planned to instigate that fight the entire time, and did not tell me so my attempts to calm it down would be all the more genuine?"

>"It was a back-up plan, of sorts," says Nue. "Had to keep her here somehow. More fun this way, too."
>Aya floats down to join Momiji, while Mystia returns to her stand, grumbling.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Descend.
> "Miss Inubashiri, I highly suggest holding on to that camera for the time being."

[Hello Purvis]

> Descend.
> "Miss Inubashiri, I highly suggest holding on to that camera for the time being."

>"Do you think she's going to delete it?" says Momiji, frowning.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "No, I suggest this for more pragmatic reasons."
> Turn to Aya.
> "I believe that is the final thing I agreed to do for you? For how much time do you wish to think about what you will do next?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "No, I suggest this for more pragmatic reasons."
> Turn to Aya.
> "I believe that is the final thing I agreed to do for you? For how much time do you wish to think about what you will do next?"

>"Can I have a bit of time to sit down?" says Aya. "And...maybe something to eat."
>"If you pay!" Mystia says in a pointed voice from her stand.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "All right. For what it is with, I apologize for whatever trauma this has caused you."
> Turn to Mystia.
> "And to you as well. I did not expect things to get as out of hand as they were."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "All right. For what it is with, I apologize for whatever trauma this has caused you."
> Turn to Mystia.
> "And to you as well. I did not expect things to get as out of hand as they were."

>"It's not trauma, really," says Aya. She looks like she's going to say something, but doesn't, instead looking over Momiji's shoulder.
>"You better be traumatized!" Mystia says.
>You address Mystia as well as you can with the curtain between you. "Yeah, sure," says Mystia. "Don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm. Well, have a seat, Miss Shameimaru. I can understand needing some time."
> Beckon to Nue to descend, if she hasn't already.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Mmm. Well, have a seat, Miss Shameimaru. I can understand needing some time."
> Beckon to Nue to descend, if she hasn't already.

>Nue settles down on the ground, adjusting Hatate's now somewhat loose clothing.
>"Got to see how it came out first," says Aya.
>"I think I have everything under control, here," Momiji says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> So Nue has more or less revealed herself at this point?
> And Aya has noticed?
> "When you return to the tengu village, I will likely be going with you, as I still have one small piece of business with Lord Tenma. How long does it normally take to see how a picture came out when it is not produced automatically?"

> "When you return to the tengu village, I will likely be going with you, as I still have one small piece of business with Lord Tenma. How long does it normally take to see how a picture came out when it is not produced automatically?"

>Nue has revealed herself and Aya seems to have noticed, which may have had some effect in her not attacking anymore.
>"Yeah, sure," says Aya. "And, we just have to find it."
>"There!" says Momiji. Aya practically leans over the tengu's shoulder. "Hah!"
>"Huh," says Aya. "Not too bad. You should have gotten a bit closer, and angled it a bit more, but I've certainly taken worse."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Aya has a digital Polaroid?

 >"Oh, you can see it without taking anything out of the camera? What an impressive device."

[Hello Purvis]

> Aya has a digital Polaroid?

 >"Oh, you can see it without taking anything out of the camera? What an impressive device."

>You have no idea what these words are! Stop thinking silly things you silly oarfish!
>"Why do you think I was so wary of giving it to you?" says Aya.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

>"I can certainly see, yes. Oh! Does this mean you can look at last night's attempt?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I can certainly see, yes. Oh! Does this mean you can look at last night's attempt?"

>Aya nods and takes the camera in hand.
>After a moment of messing with it. she says, "Here it is. Hmmm. You were a second too late, but I think you managed to catch a little something. It's off center, though, and kind of hard to tell who it is. Not bad for a beginner, though."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Well, as long as we have something serviceable."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, as long as we have something serviceable."

>"Oh yes," says Aya, "Momiji's work will be quite suitable."
