Maribel Quest Continuation: A Z-Machine Adventure
« on: August 22, 2010, 05:41:27 PM »
>You are Maribel Hearn, and the world is wrong. Or rather, you're in the wrong world!
>Having woken up in a strange room, you've discovered you are in the middle of a world called Gensokyo, and you've finally discovered another world that you've always knew existed
>You grew up in Japan, living a fairly normal life. Still, you always had a strong instinct that there was more to the world than you could see. You studied psychology in college, and met your best friend there, a woman named Renko. The two of you shared a passion for the supernatural (extranormal, Renko called it, to make it sound more legitimate). In pursuing that passion, the two of you followed your instincts and moved to small island nation called Gensokyo. From there, then memories of the past half year fuzzy. You remember running a modestly successful detective agency and numerous attempts to find supernatural activity. You remember a woman named  Utsuho being a prominent influence on your life in the last few days before you woke up here, but you can't remember a lot about it. You remember, though, that she helped you prove the supernatural exists beyond the shadow of a doubt! Too bad you can only half remember it.
>You have been wandering throughout Gensokyo! You've learned some of the basics of flight, danmaku, time-stopping and barrier magic, and you're on cloud nine! Reimu is very concerned you may easily end up a Youkai; Patchouli and Mystia seem to be all for it. Utsuho and Yuugi are in a doomed rivalry for Parsee's love, you have nudged them toward polyamory, and into a kind of peace. You visited Komachi and got her back to work on Reimu's behalf! You have assisted Murasa at the underground clinic on Byakuren's behalf, which involved cleaning up vomit buckets and dealing with a racist old oni. Byakuren has agreed to consider enhancing your natural magical abilities if you gather the necessary ingredients. You have planted flowers for Yuka! You have discovered where all the maids at Scarlet Devil Mansion have gone! You've been chased by a mob of faeries! You have befriend Tokiko, and are helping her get used to society and not eating animals raw. You have engaged in a few fact finding missions on Utsuho's behalf. You have found, bickered with, worried over, and slept with Renko.
>You are currently in the the guest bedroom at the Palace of the Earth Spirits, preparing to leave after your romantic encounter with Renko there.

> Give a genuinely happy smile. Business may be business, but we can't be that cold for our Renko.

>You give her your warmest smile. She returns with one of her own. "But really, what now?"

>You leave the guest room and return to the living room. Utsuho is still there And aside from turning on her side and being free of feline passengers, she's more or less how you left her. No, wait, she just scratched her side a bit.

Uh, well, my "major plan" has been executed and finished at this point. If people have ideas for actions they should be inputting them. I'm certainly going to keep going, but I don't want to feel like I've taken over the game like I felt I did with a good chunk of the latter half of Reisen Quest.

> Silently beckon to Renko to follow.
> Let's look for Satori. Go through the door she went through previously for feeding time.

>You decide to leave Utsuho to her rest and try to follow Satori's path. This takes you back out to the front hall. You can hear the sounds of activity in the kitchen, as well as a dozen cats around the entrance.

>You head into the kitchen, working your way around the cats along the way.
>Inside, you see Satori standing at the counter, chopping some daikons on a cutting board; it is an interesting thing to view. "Ah, welcome, she says, without turning to look at it. "I was just getting started on dinner preparations. It'll be a little while yet, Orin won't be home for awhile, but I want to be ready when she is."
>She then gives you a curious glance over her shoulder. "And I know I told you that you should be more honest, Renko, but I didn't quite expect you to be that punctual about it."

>"Alright. Don't worry too hard about it," she says. "It'll be here. And if you don't make it back by morning, there's someone here who will eat it up."
>She glances toward you, then nods.

> Think And thank you!! before we leave the room.

>You make your way out, as Satori says, "You're welcome, dear."
>You return to the sitting room, finding Utsuho where you left her, her wings twitching slightly under her cape.

>She sits up  and yawns. "Right," she says,as she stands up and stretche,s which involves extending her wings out as well.  "just it'll be like someone getting your attention by rubbing your arm, you know?"
>Then she notices Renko, who is staring at her. "Hey, she found you! Good. How've you been?"
>"Well, up and down," says Renko.
