Mystia 'Quest': Making a Living [Complete]

[Raikaria]

>"Coming right up!"
>Get to work on that.
>Glance toward Yukari right before we put it on the grill and muster some courage. "Are you really not tempted even a little?" Then put it on the grill so the sizzle will emphasize our words.

> "Yep!" Yuyuko says happily.

> You begin grilling.

> "I'm tempted, but for me, mid-day is like mid-night. I usualkly sleep all day. This would be the equivilent to a midnight snack. Not very good for your figure." Yukari says.

[Hello Purvis]

>So far, so good...
>Dismissive wave.
>"Oh, with a figure like that, you could have a hundred and no one would notice!"

[Raikaria]

>So far, so good...
>Dismissive wave.
>"Oh, with a figure like that, you could have a hundred and no one would notice!"

> Indeed

> You notice Yukari flinch, and put on a pained smile.

> "Are you sure that's a good thing? That no-one would notice if I ate a hundred lamprey? That there wouldn't be much of a difference between my size now and afterwards?" she says. You feel a malice, and even Yuyuko is shying away a bit.

[Hello Purvis]

>...Try not to wither under that look...
>"You're just that trim, I mean..."

[Raikaria]

>...Try not to wither under that look...
>"You're just that trim, I mean..."

> you try. It's not possible.

> "If I was that trim it would have an effect." Yukari said.

> At this point, Yuyuko pipes up.

> "I think she might be relateing to your abilty to manipulate boundries. If you shorten the boundry between your left and right... you're thin and the hundred lamprey have no effect!" Yuyuko said.

> Yukari simmers down.

> Wow, did she just save your life?

[capt. h]

> Probably. Yuyuko gets at least 2 more on the house.

> Also, no more small talk with the scary youkai. Too dangerous. Just listen.

[Raikaria]

> Probably. Yuyuko gets at least 2 more on the house.

> Also, no more small talk with the scary youkai. Too dangerous. Just listen.

> You don't tell Yuyuko this, it might make Yukari mad that she saved you or something.

> You decide not to anger Yukari again, and just stay quiet.

> About twenty lamprey devoured by Yuyuko later...

> "Now, how do we pay again?" Yuyuko asked. "I forgot."

Smile. "Well, I usually just accept whatever you're willing to give, as long as it's shiny. Like those swords your gardener has, for instance Did you enjoy the meal?"

[Raikaria]

Smile. "Well, I usually just accept whatever you're willing to give, as long as it's shiny. Like those swords your gardener has, for instance Did you enjoy the meal?"

> "Very much so." says Yuyuko, who fishes out a strange, silver flower, which is glowing with an eerie light, and glittering.

> Yukari puts some silver rock on your stand, it's small, but it has a similar glittering to the flower.

> You've never seen anything like these.

"You can have my swords if you want" Youmu says, before sliceing you with them. The last thing you see is Yuyuko's mouth nearing as you bleed out.
Bad End 36

P.S: Rumia Quest 4 is open now.

[capt. h]

> Poke the shinies.

[IdiotsOpposite]

Be obviously entranced by them. Both of them.

[Hello Purvis]

>After a moment: "What are these?"

[Raikaria]

> Poke the shinies.

> You poke the rock. It feels smooth.

> You poke the flower, and the petals do not move. It still feels like a flower, however.

Be obviously entranced by them. Both of them.

> These are amoung the most beautiful things you have seen.

>After a moment: "What are these?"

> "Things I have foound in worlds outside Gensokyo." Yukari says. "I gave Yuyuko the seeds of that flower, which she has grown in the Netherworld, and this stone is from the same place."

[capt. h]

> Can we plant the flower? Or are the roots gone?

[Raikaria]

> Can we plant the flower? Or are the roots gone?

> The roots are gone, and you're not sure if a flower that grows in the Netherworld is a great idea to plant here.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Wow...Outside Gensokyo huh? Like where all those humans sometimes come from?"

[Raikaria]

>"Wow...Outside Gensokyo huh? Like where all those humans sometimes come from?"

> "Yes and no." Yukari says. "The Netherworld itself is outside Gensokyo, technically. These items come from outside Gensokyo, but not from where the humans come from."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh."
>Pause for a moment and consider the stone. Better be honest about this one.
>"That's...um...probably worth more than one skewer. Want some more to go?"

[Raikaria]

>"Oh."
>Pause for a moment and consider the stone. Better be honest about this one.
>"That's...um...probably worth more than one skewer. Want some more to go?"

> "You think I cannot obtain more at my heart's content? I cannot obtain those skewers anywhere else. To me, I've made a good trade. To you, you've made a good trade. If it bothers you that much, me and Yuyuko are splitting her bill then." Yukari says.

[capt. h]

> "You think I cannot obtain more at my heart's content? I cannot obtain those skewers anywhere else. To me, I've made a good trade. To you, you've made a good trade. If it bothers you that much, me and Yuyuko are splitting her bill then." Yukari says.

> "Nah, doesn't bother me at all. Thanks!"

[Raikaria]

> "Nah, doesn't bother me at all. Thanks!"

> "Good." Yukari says.

[capt. h]

> Wait for more customers.

[Raikaria]

> Wait for more customers.

> Yukari, Youmu and Yuyuko leave.

> Shortly afterwards, Keine shows up. She is wearing a ribbon which says 'Mayor' on it and is beaming.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Whoa.
>Did we even know she was running?
>"Does that mean what I think it means?"

[capt. h]

> Yukari, Youmu and Yuyuko leave.

> Shortly afterwards, Keine shows up. She is wearing a ribbon which says 'Mayor' on it and is beaming.

> "Congrats! First one's on the house. I'd offer you a toast, but, you know..."

[Raikaria]

>Whoa.
>Did we even know she was running?
>"Does that mean what I think it means?"

> Yes, you knew, she hinted at it quite openly before.

> "The human village voted for change." Keine says.

> "Congrats! First one's on the house. I'd offer you a toast, but, you know..."

> "You realise you can serve stuff other than alcohol." Keine says. "Maybe some fruit juice or something. I'm sure there's stuff you can use to make a decent fruit juice or something."

[IdiotsOpposite]

"Again, congratulations. Have any plans, Mayor-san?"

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Do we have anything like that?
>"Well, anyways, you want something? Like I said, first one's on the house."
>How's our stock looking? Feeding Yuyuko probably depleted it quite a bit.

[Raikaria]

>Do we have anything like that?
>"Well, anyways, you want something? Like I said, first one's on the house."
>How's our stock looking? Feeding Yuyuko probably depleted it quite a bit.

> No. However, you know where you could find some fruits. They grow pretty fast too, because the area they are in is magical.

> "I'll have something to celebrate I guess. It's not the main reason I'm here though." Keine says.

> You have about ten lampreys still.

"Again, congratulations. Have any plans, Mayor-san?"

> "Well, I had about eighty percent of the vote in the end, it was a landslide victory. The people voted for me because they accept openly, that youkai are not out to get them anymore. The efforts of the Moyuren Temple, Tengu, Kappa, yourself, and even Kogasa cheering up the kids when she shows up have convinced the humans tbhat they do not need to live in fear, sealing themselves off from youkai anymore." Keine explains. "Things will change in the human village soon. Humans and youkai will be able to co-operate to extents previously impossible. The humans can benifit from the Kappa's technology, the childeren can make new freinds, humans don't have to be fearful going to the shrines and temples, because of the youkai who live between."

"I don't think it's the best idea for you to move inside the village though. People like this place as a breath of fresh air, and and youkai come visit you too. Not to mention the changes won't be instant. It'll take time, and negotiation, there'll still be some limits, for saftey's sake if anything, we don't want to become so lax that the faries plauge us, or the humans can't get any privacy from Aya."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"That's fine. I like this spot, anyways."
>Put a lamprey on the grill.
>"SO, what are you here for, then?"
