>"Huh...but if all the stair doors are card jammed or whatever, what happens if the roof is on fire or somethin'?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Huh...but if all the stair doors are card jammed or whatever, what happens if the roof is on fire or somethin'?"

>"I'm surprised you thought of that," says Chiyuri. "Um..."
>"There's a central monitor somewhere in the palace that can cut the locks," says Yumemi. "And if they're anything like other buildings, a total power outage would cause them to unlock. Unfortunately, they have their own generators as well as outside connections.  I have considered this in the past, of course, but the risk doesn't justify the reward, especially when it puts all the soldiers there are on high alert."

>"Well it was kinda a thing in Higan, but yeah, you gotta point."
>"Hmm..."

Sorry, don't have any other bright ideas at the moment and I should be working. I'll chime in if I come up with anything.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well it was kinda a thing in Higan, but yeah, you gotta point."
>"Hmm..."

>"Arson may yet have a value," says Yumemi, "Though I would warn you that they have a good fire suppression system, so you would have to work especially hard to cause anything that matters."

>How resilient is our demon fire against water?

[Hello Purvis]

>How resilient is our demon fire against water?

>About as resilient as normal fire.

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Well, unfortunately the demon fire is about as like to be put out by water as anythin' else."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, unfortunately the demon fire is about as like to be put out by water as anythin' else."

>"Then you'll have to start quite a blaze to get anything worthwhile happening," says Yumemi.
>"Might do for a fallback plan," says Chiyuri. "I think I could scare up some cheap liquor to help."

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Seems like a waste o' booze, but if we gotta do it, might not be a bad notion."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Seems like a waste o' booze, but if we gotta do it, might not be a bad notion."

>"I'll see what I can scare up," says Chiyuri.

[UncertainJakutten]

Eek no one is responding anymore D:. Did I really kill things?

>"So, what do we have so far for doin' this shindig?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"So, what do we have so far for doin' this shindig?"

>"Mostly, we have you," says Chiyuri. "You have that wheelchair and bucket. And I'll get your a translator and that dye you wanted in a minute. You have those maps, and we could probably get you some other stuff if you wanted."

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Right, that's the bees knees there, but I more meant all planning style."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Right, that's the bees knees there, but I more meant all planning style."

>"Oh, you should probably be more clear," says Chiyuri. "The plan right now is that we sneak you back in the way you came out, more or less. Yumemi and I will be behind you, we have to take a longer route. We're going to try to insinuate ourselves, and give you what details we can. If we're lucky, we'll be able to track some movements and keep you up to date on that. From there, we're mostly going to be making it up as we go along."

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Got it. Anythin' we haven't covered, or will we get this goin?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Got it. Anythin' we haven't covered, or will we get this goin?"

>"Well, let's see," says Chiyuri. "You want to get your friend back and your stuff back. Then you want to deal with the Emperor and get back to the Model Seven, right? Aside from getting the rest of those supplies, we've covered everything so far, unless you have something else?"

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Sounds like it's all berries. You got anything to add?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sounds like it's all berries. You got anything to add?"

>"Nothing immediately comings to mind," says Chiyuri.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>"All righty then, let's kick this pig. Get a wiggle on and grab the stuff."

[Hello Purvis]

>"All righty then, let's kick this pig. Get a wiggle on and grab the stuff."

>"Well, uh, the laundry has to get done, first," says Chiyuri.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

Reading comprehension. I has it.

>"Oh, right. Uh, well, what now?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, right. Uh, well, what now?"

>"I think that has answered itself," says Yumemi.
>"Unless you have something more useful in mind," Chiyuri says, glancing toward the seemingly inattentive professor.
>Yumemi doesn't move. "There is nothing more useful."

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>Sigh and go back to Yumemi's machine and go again
(If I have the topography wrong here feel free to assume I intend to continue Yumemi's research)

[Hello Purvis]

>Sigh and go back to Yumemi's machine and go again

>"Wow, Yumemi is going to try to adopt you at this rate," says Chiyuri. "Anyways, I'm going to go make sure that Ruukoto hasn't flooded the back or something. What color dye did you want?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Has there been any sort of standard hair color that we've seen so far?

[Hanzo K.]

>"I figure that so long as it blends in, and will last me the day, I'm alright. I'd really prefer to be back to my usual self when the day's done, y'know?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Has there been any sort of standard hair color that we've seen so far?

>Red and blonde seem to be common, as are several varieties of gray. You think you've glimpsed some black and brown.

>"I figure that so long as it blends in, and will last me the day, I'm alright. I'd really prefer to be back to my usual self when the day's done, y'know?"

>"I'll get you some cleaner, too," says Chiyuri.

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Eh, black sounds good."
>We do NOT need to make ourselves look like Komachi >=[

[Hello Purvis]

>"Eh, black sounds good."
>We do NOT need to make ourselves look like Komachi >=[

>"Right," says Chiyuri. "It'll take me a couple minutes, but i'm sure you won't mind."
>She departs the room, leaving you to conjure flames for Yumemi. She is mostly silent as you do so, periodically asking you to adjust some thing or other.  But overall, she seems pleased with what she is seeing.
>Maybe fifteen minutes pass by before Chiyuri returns, carrying a few bottles in her arms, a bowl, and some things you can't really identify. "Alright, I got some things," she says.  "You want to take care of your hair first, or hear how to this translator works?"

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>"The hair seems like a good move. Whaddya need me to do?"
