Mystia 'Quest': Making a Living [Complete]

[Raikaria]

Smile. "Well now it's half of 'anything shiny'! It's a great deal!"

>"Like, if someone brings a shiny stone, they'd only have to bring half of it!"

> "I think it's a little hard to bring half a stone. Unless you're an Oni or something that can just smash it in half."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, if they want to use money, just use half the usual amount!"

[Raikaria]

>"Well, if they want to use money, just use half the usual amount!"

> "That's obvious." Keine says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "But yeah, everything's half-off! Gotta celebrate y'know!"

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "But yeah, everything's half-off! Gotta celebrate y'know!"

> "You're right." Keine says. She sounds convinceing, but in reality, she's just given up reasoning.

[Hanzo K.]

>"....Maybe I should just do a two-for-one deal instead."

[Raikaria]

>"....Maybe I should just do a two-for-one deal instead."

> "That would be a lot easier to manage for your customers that pay in shiny and not coin."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Yeah, I'll just do that."
>"Hey, since I might end up getting even more business than usual, I might finally have enough to improve the cart!"

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Yeah, I'll just do that."
>"Hey, since I might end up getting even more business than usual, I might finally have enough to improve the cart!"

> "You might already. I don't know how much money you have, let alone other valuable stuff you can sell from your shiny horde."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hmm...I guess you're right. I'll have to check on that tomorrow or something."
> Grin warmly. "Well, I can't be keeping you from your work, now can I, Mayor Keine? Hope you enjoyed the food! And remember, if you need a place to unwind after a long day, just swing by!"
>Let's busy ourselves with keeping the grill in top condition until the next customer(s) come along!

[Raikaria]

>"Hmm...I guess you're right. I'll have to check on that tomorrow or something."
> Grin warmly. "Well, I can't be keeping you from your work, now can I, Mayor Keine? Hope you enjoyed the food! And remember, if you need a place to unwind after a long day, just swing by!"
>Let's busy ourselves with keeping the grill in top condition until the next customer(s) come along!

> "Yes, I need to go and meet Miss Hijiri." Keine said. "Even if I wanted to stay all day, I can't keep her waiting, it would be rude of me."

> You start tending to your grill, when Wriggle, who has been quiet, but was here since Yuyuko and Yukari showed up, pipes up.

> "Can I have one to take to Miss Kanzami? She might be nicer if I bring her one." Wriggle asks. You are aware that despite Yuuka's treatment of Wriggle being poor, it's nothing compared to the treatment she gives anyone else, because Wriggle is benificial to her flowers. Most other people are tortured horribly or killed, unless they happen to be Reimu, who it's too risky to do that sort of thing to. For Yuuka, beating Wriggle up a little and harsh words is being nice.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "Sure, I'll get one set up. I'll even throw in an extra one for you too."
>Let's get cooking again!

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle. "Sure, I'll get one set up. I'll even throw in an extra one for you too."
>Let's get cooking again!

> "Thanks! With my power over insects, it's kinda my duty to oversee them all pollenateing the flowers and everything, which means I have to go there often during Spring and early summer." Wriggle says, as you start cooking, before she adds; "I don't have anything shiny though...."

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "Don't worry, I'll consider it a freebie, since that old stick-in-the-mud ex-mayor's not causing trouble for people like us, and Yuyuko didn't try to eat me for once."

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle. "Don't worry, I'll consider it a freebie, since that old stick-in-the-mud ex-mayor's not causing trouble for people like us, and Yuyuko didn't try to eat me for once."

> Wriggle bounces up and down happily, and looks like she's going to hug you, but seeing as you're grilling, she decides against it.

> The lamprey are done.

[Hanzo K.]

>Package 'em up, and pass 'em off to wriggle. "Here you go. Now here's hoping it works, eh?"

[Raikaria]

>Package 'em up, and pass 'em off to wriggle. "Here you go. Now here's hoping it works, eh?"

> "I'm not confident it will, but anything's worth a try, right?" Wriggle says, taking the lamprey.

> "Thanks again Mysti" Wriggle says, before flying off.

> You still don't get how she flies without wings.

[Hanzo K.]

>Rumia and Cirno said something about that we might be able to do it too. Even though we like using our wings better.
>Well, back to keeping the grill in top form for the next customer!

[Raikaria]

>Rumia and Cirno said something about that we might be able to do it too. Even though we like using our wings better.
>Well, back to keeping the grill in top form for the next customer!

> Yeah, they say you should be able to, but you're a Night Sparrow, a bird. You're a youkai ascended from a species which already flies throughout most of their life. To you, wingless flight is against your very nature. It's like humans learn to walk and never forget.
 
> You clean up the grill, and also have time to go and catch more lamprey. Nothing in particular is happening at Misty Lake when you go there, except you can see Sakuya scolding China. You guess she was asleep. Again.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle a bit, and bring the supplies back to the cart. Maybe we'll have a customer waiting for us by then.

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle a bit, and bring the supplies back to the cart. Maybe we'll have a customer waiting for us by then.

> You decide to go back to the cart. Not like it was a good idea to interefere anyway. Sakuya is mad already.

> You notice a few nameless fairies hovering around your cart. They appear curious about this strange thing.

[Hanzo K.]

>Head on over and get our stock set up.
>"So, you guys are wondering what this is, aren't you?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Have we ever tried any horrible grilling experiments in the past?

[Raikaria]

>Head on over and get our stock set up.
>"So, you guys are wondering what this is, aren't you?"

> "Ah! It's Cirno's pal!" one of the fairies say.

> "She's real strong right? She has to be to be Cirno's pal!" another one says.

> "We better not mess around with her then!" a third says.

> Now they've stopped flying around like flies, you can count six fairies. None of them actually responded to your question.

>Have we ever tried any horrible grilling experiments in the past?

> No. Fairies go poof when they die anyway, if you're thinking that. Your meal would poof.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, you guys want to know what this is, right? This here is my grill cart, I cook food for my customers with it."
>"Grin. "But I don't cook for free, You want the goods? You gotta bring the shinies."

[Raikaria]

>"Well, you guys want to know what this is, right? This here is my grill cart, I cook food for my customers with it."
>"Grin. "But I don't cook for free, You want the goods? You gotta bring the shinies."

> "We were just curious Miss Birdy." the smallest of the fairies says.

> You know fairies are not big on eating, so the lack of reaction in general is pretty expected.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "I know you fairies aren't too big on eating, but you haven't really lived until you've had some grilled lamprey from this cart. Even Cirno approves."
>What they don't know won't hurt 'em after all.

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "I know you fairies aren't too big on eating, but you haven't really lived until you've had some grilled lamprey from this cart. Even Cirno approves."
>What they don't know won't hurt 'em after all.

> "Even Cirno?!" says one of the fairies.

> They begin murrmering amoung themselves, and then fly off in various directions.

> If what a fairy didn't know hurt them, they'd constantly be screaming in agony worse that what Yuuka could inflict.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "Well, I was planning for them to order something, but I guess they can just spread the word."
>Let's tend to the grill until someone else comes by.

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle. "Well, I was planning for them to order something, but I guess they can just spread the word."
>Let's tend to the grill until someone else comes by.

> You also figure that the odds of a fairy having anything shiny on them is pretty low.

> You keep tending to the grill. Around about 5pm, a human walks by, and notices your stand. She has purple hair, with what appears to be a flower in her hair. She is wearing an outfit of red, green and yellow.

> You have not seen this human before, but you can tell she's not... normal for a human. Not like Keine, she's certainly HUMAN, but something seems... different.
