Yukari Quest V - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> "All right. Disconnect from the drums and I will take it again, and we can be on our way back the way we came."

[Mr. Sacchi]

> So, has the quest's database been updated with DDC information yet?
> What do we know of Raiko Horikawa?

[Hello Purvis]

> "All right. Disconnect from the drums and I will take it again, and we can be on our way back the way we came."

>She nods and takes a step back.

> So, has the quest's database been updated with DDC information yet?
> What do we know of Raiko Horikawa?

>Hain't happened yet, chronomalogically.
>Raiko Whoikawa?

>A relative of Kogasa who happens to resemble a palette-swap of Yuuka

>Mentally compare Kogasa and Yuuka.

[Hello Purvis]

>A relative of Kogasa who happens to resemble a palette-swap of Yuuka

>Mentally compare Kogasa and Yuuka.

>They are pretty dissimilar, let's be honest here. Don't you have more important things to be pondering, though?

[Kilgamayan]

> Does this bubble float in mid-air?

[Hello Purvis]

> Does this bubble float in mid-air?

>Yes. That is how you found it.

[Suwako Moriya]

> So we could conceivably just push it along instead of carrying it?
> How disruptive would casual conversation be to our ability to concentrate on not popping the bubble?

[Hello Purvis]

> So we could conceivably just push it along instead of carrying it?
> How disruptive would casual conversation be to our ability to concentrate on not popping the bubble?

>Yes.
>It should be fine, unless something horribly unexpected happens.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Take up a position that will allow us to push the bubble along, and start heading back the way we first came to this central temple.
> "So it seems we have several exploring options available to us. What do you think we should investigate first?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Take up a position that will allow us to push the bubble along, and start heading back the way we first came to this central temple.
> "So it seems we have several exploring options available to us. What do you think we should investigate first?"

>You push the bubble along. It's not really any less strenuous than just carrying it.
>"Well, we should probably try to keep travel to a minimum," says Maribel.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod.
> "This is true. In that case, I think it may be best to deal with our new drum here before investigating either of the new gaps we have found."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "This is true. In that case, I think it may be best to deal with our new drum here before investigating either of the new gaps we have found."

>Maribel nods, while the two of your make your way toward the entrance. You note the columns are not passing by quite as they should once again, instead curving at odd angles and suggesting that space here is not quite as clean as it ought to be. Maribel doesn't seem to notice, or at least doesn't find it worthy of comment if she does notice. It should be harmless, in any event. You can see the western exit up ahead, some distance away.

[Suwako Moriya]

> We're presumably bringing the drum bubble with us, yes?
> "So we are then left with the question of which of two gaps to explore, the one in this temple, or the one on the other island I noticed."

[Hello Purvis]

> We're presumably bringing the drum bubble with us, yes?
> "So we are then left with the question of which of two gaps to explore, the one in this temple, or the one on the other island I noticed."

>You are bringing it along, there have been no problems.
>"Well..." says Maribel. "I think we can get to that other one the fastest, since you can gap there?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I was thinking of that one for that reason, yes."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "I was thinking of that one for that reason, yes."

>"That's about the only real preference I have right now," says Maribel. "Otherwise, one is the same as the other to me."

[Yaersulf]

>Proceed to area with more stable borders.
>Store drum-bubble in gap.

[Hello Purvis]

>Proceed to area with more stable borders.
>Store drum-bubble in gap.

>The two of you leave the temple, and make your way back to the edge of the island in silence, as you push the disembodied music ahead of you.
>Soon enough, you leave the island entirely, easily leaping down onto the larger one that it butts against. The borders here, while still unstable and akin to a sandstorm, are still markedly more calm than those just behind you. You easily store away the disembodied music.
>You obtain: Disembodied Music: Drums

[Yaersulf]

>"That's that dealt with, now let's investigate this other gap then shall we?"
>Open a gap to gap-island.

[Hello Purvis]

>"That's that dealt with, now let's investigate this other gap then shall we?"
>Open a gap to gap-island.

>"Ah, I thought you wanted to go back and introduce this to the rest of the music, first," says Maribel.
>The gap opens without any difficulties.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Blink.
> "Right, yes."
> Close the gap we just opened and open a different one to the forested island that has the perma-gap we made that will lead us back to the forest region.

[Hello Purvis]

> Blink.
> "Right, yes."
> Close the gap we just opened and open a different one to the forested island that has the perma-gap we made that will lead us back to the forest region.

>You change the gaps around without much difficulty. Even though you are out of the especially unstable region, it is definitely spreading outward.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> The instability is? Well, that's not good.
> Let's head through the gap, though. We can worry about the instability later.

[Yaersulf]

My bad.

[Hello Purvis]

> The instability is? Well, that's not good.
> Let's head through the gap, though. We can worry about the instability later.

>You head through the gap, stepping out into the forest where you last appeared. Maribel follows you though, stumbling and cursing to herself as she catches her foot on something in the tall grass.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

No worries, no harm done.

> "Oh my. Are you all right?"

[Serela]

>After making sure Maribel's okay, check for what she could have tripped on.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh my. Are you all right?"

>"Yeah," she says, "Just stepped out onto a tough weed or something and hurt my foot," she says.

>After making sure Maribel's okay, check for what she could have tripped on.

>Glancing downward, it seems her assessment was correct; she stepped on a plant with a tough-looking stem. Given her lack of footwear, it was probably unpleasant.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown. "Ah, my sympathies. You will be okay to keep going onward, I hope?"
