Yukari Quest IV - A Z-Machine Adventure

[O4rfish]

>Emit puzzlement at the amber cloud. Is this an emotion we are familiar with?

[Mr. Sacchi]

So staying still didn't make cobalt go poof too.

> Try to proceed towards the purple wisp, slowly.

[Kilgamayan]

Cobalt's probably water or some such.

[O4rfish]

I think wisps can be neutralized, while fields have much more substance.

[Hello Purvis]

>Emit puzzlement at the amber cloud. Is this an emotion we are familiar with?

> Try to proceed towards the purple wisp, slowly.

>You share you puzzlement as the amber sweeps past.
>Motion certainly is not an emotion, outside of bad puns.
>You try to take a slower course toward the purple wisp, and find that you are slowly listing off course again. The amber cloud has slowed to a stop as well, some distance away.

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Does cobalt give us a similar feeling to water?

> Are we deviating to a landmark in specific? Or at least one general direction?
>> If the latter, what is in that general direction?

[Hello Purvis]

> Does cobalt give us a similar feeling to water?

> Are we deviating to a landmark in specific? Or at least one general direction?
>> If the latter, what is in that general direction?

>You don't really feel anything like water from it, It doesn't impart any sensation of wetness or temperature. Such things many not exist here, though.
>You seem to be deviating in the same direction, rather than toward anything. You tentatively label it right, for lack of better terms.

[日巫子]

> Go back to get the amber cloud to follow us again.

[Hello Purvis]

> Go back to get the amber cloud to follow us again.

>You try to make your way toward the amber cloud, and find yourself floating off to the side again. The amber cloud also begins to journey toward you, and also seems to be listing to the same direction. Despite not moving where you wish to, the two of you meet about midway. The amber cloud radiates concern and curiosity, the latter definitely outweighing the former.

[O4rfish]

Well, we could try fading some more colors, or we could go back to dry land for brainstorming with Maribel. Or I suppose we could explore farther out.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Let's try to explore more far out first, and then go back and brainstorm with Mary.

> Continue in the direction that we're pulled towards, the "right", and keep an eye out for new colors.

[Hello Purvis]

> Continue in the direction that we're pulled towards, the "right", and keep an eye out for new colors.

>You continue in the direction that you've been pulled, and move along quite speedily. Beyond the cobalt, you can see a deep field of royal purple. You can see a ribbon of yellow running through it, and some spots of green and black.
>As the cobalt carries you forward, you can see it is bringing you toward a field of black.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Oh crap.
> Stop and try to go against the movement the cobalt forces us to, go towards the Royal Purple, if we're still moving in the direction of the black, stop and assess the situation.

[Hello Purvis]

> Oh crap.
> Stop and try to go against the movement the cobalt forces us to, go towards the Royal Purple, if we're still moving in the direction of the black, stop and assess the situation.

>You push against the cobalt's motion, and make slow progress against it. The amber cloud speeds by, but you note that it reverses direction as well. You try to shift direction toward the Royal Purple, and find you are slowly being pushed toward the field of black. You feel you should be able to make it at this rate, though.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Continue pushing towards the Royal Purple, make sure we don't get anywhere close to the black.

> Can we feel anything from the Royal Purple?

[Hello Purvis]

> Continue pushing towards the Royal Purple, make sure we don't get anywhere close to the black.
> Can we feel anything from the Royal Purple?

>Drawing closer to it, you feel a sense of strength from it. You feel you should be able to reach it before being drawn into the black field.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Then do get as close as possible.
> Strength? As in physical strength or a more abstract type of strength, as say, emotional or spiritual strength?

[Hello Purvis]

> Then do get as close as possible.
> Strength? As in physical strength or a more abstract type of strength, as say, emotional or spiritual strength?

>You reach the edge of the cobalt field, it should be easy to enter now.
>The Royal Purple field gives a feeling that seems to encompass both of those things, as well as the idea of endurance.

[Mr. Sacchi]

> The Royal Purple is a "field" much like the cobalt, right?
> Enter the Royal Purple and approach the yellow if possible, steer clear of any blotches of black.

[Serela]

>Check on the amber cloud

[Hello Purvis]

> The Royal Purple is a "field" much like the cobalt, right?
> Enter the Royal Purple and approach the yellow if possible, steer clear of any blotches of black.

>Check on the amber cloud

>You enter the field of royal purple, and feel a sense of strength and resilience flow into yourself.
>As you approach the strip of yellow, you can feel the sensation of  vibration from it, but it does not bother you as it did beforehand.
>You note the amber cloud as followed you, though it came closer to the field of black than your did.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Do we know what is the opposite of vibration?
> Where haven't we been to in this Color World?

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we know what is the opposite of vibration?
> Where haven't we been to in this Color World?

>You imagine a lack of vibration.
>You have been up and down. In theory, there are still the compass directions, though one has taken you toward a field of black.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we ever get a sense of anything from the black?

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we ever get a sense of anything from the black?

>You got a sense of confusion from it, it was difficult to handle.

>_

[日巫子]

> Touch the yellow strip.

[Hello Purvis]

> Touch the yellow strip.

>You let yourself come in contact with the yellow strip. You can feel an intense sense of vibration well up within you, as though you were hugging the ground during an intense earthquake. It would be terribly unpleasant to experience, typically, but you feel more than resilient enough to handle the feeling right now.

>_

[日巫子]

> Does the yellow strip seem to lead anywhere?

[Hello Purvis]

> Does the yellow strip seem to lead anywhere?

>It stretches toward the field of black off toward the side, and in the other direction as far as you can see, bending and twisting here and there. The ribbon itself is probably about three times as thick as the amber cloud, which is presently lingering behind you.

>_

[日巫子]

> Start following the yellow strip.
