Sword Quest VI - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "Sadly, we cannot stick around for long. I only wish to know if you have seen a blue loop-haired woman around, or if you have heard about anyone else seeing her around."

>"Uhhh, maybe?" says Tenshi. "Gimme some more details?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Provide a description of Seiga's body type and typical dress. Within tasteful reason, of course.
> "I am searching for her because she stole something important from the Netherworld."

> "I am searching for her because she stole something important from the Netherworld."

>"I think I hear people talk about someone like that sometimes," Tenshi says. "Nothing super recent, though. I just got here today."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah. That is unfortunate, as this thievery happened this morning."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah. That is unfortunate, as this thievery happened this morning."

>Tenshi shrugs.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well. Thank you."
> Look to Kotohime.
> "Shall we commence our search, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very well. Thank you."
> Look to Kotohime.
> "Shall we commence our search, then?"

>She nods. "I'll get here as soon as you're done."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Splendid. Then let us begin."
> Exit the pub.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Splendid. Then let us begin."
> Exit the pub.

>The two of you exit the pub, and Kotohime quickly makes her way toward the marketplace.

[Kilgamayan]

> What is the closest major establishment on our half of the town?

[Hello Purvis]

> What is the closest major establishment on our half of the town?

>Either the wealthier part of town, where you found Koishi initially, to the Southeast, or some scattered stores to the north.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Where is the Temple from here?

[Hello Purvis]

> Where is the Temple from here?

>Further north.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> North

[Hello Purvis]

> North

>You had northward.
>You find yourself in front of a clothing store, simply named Shou's Clothes. as you recall, in the days before the Buddhists made their temple, this served as both their home and main means of support. Glancing through the windows, you can see a couple customers, and the nun from before working inside. There is not much traffic through here right now.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> The nun will almost certainly be glad to tell us if a Taoist is on the loose and causing trouble. Enter the chothing store.

[Hello Purvis]

> The nun will almost certainly be glad to tell us if a Taoist is on the loose and causing trouble. Enter the chothing store.

>You enter the store.
>Inside is a small font area, filled with racks of clothes. You can quickly discern than many of them are used and refurbished, but others are new. Tiger stripes seem to be everwhere; the floors have rugs bearing them, the empty hangers are marked with them, and there seem to be a surprising number of them along the clothes themselves. The nun, you note, is in the back behind the counter, ironing a robe. "Come on in!" she calls.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hello again."
> Make our way to the counter where the nun is.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hello again."
> Make our way to the counter where the nun is.

>You approach the counter. "Hello there," she says. "I see you managed to shake off the guardswoman."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, she is actually currently helping me investigate the town. We are investigating whether or not Seiga Kaku has been in the village today."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, she is actually currently helping me investigate the town. We are investigating whether or not Seiga Kaku has been in the village today."

>"I haven't seen that one," says the nun, shaking her head. "The rest of the gang has been here, though."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Did Miko ever discuss what Futo and Tojiko are up to today?
> "I hope they did not cause too much trouble?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Did Miko ever discuss what Futo and Tojiko are up to today?
> "I hope they did not cause too much trouble?"

>She summarized it.
>"Only a bit, to be honest," she says. "They've mostly vanished after this morning."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I don't know precisely where the lackeys are, but Miko has been helping me look for Seiga. Apparently Miko and her lackeys made plans to regather at the Hakurei Shrine."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I don't know precisely where the lackeys are, but Miko has been helping me look for Seiga. Apparently Miko and her lackeys made plans to regather at the Hakurei Shrine."

>"Well, at lest Reimu can keep an eye on them," says the nun.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "For however long that lasts. I would assume they will be joining the search for Seiga once they arrive."

[Hello Purvis]

> "For however long that lasts. I would assume they will be joining the search for Seiga once they arrive."

>"What happened with those idiots, anyways?" says the nun.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It seems Miko's sword has been stolen."
> Shrug.
> "If they were causing you trouble earlier, perhaps they thought your faction had taken it?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "It seems Miko's sword has been stolen."
> Shrug.
> "If they were causing you trouble earlier, perhaps they thought your faction had taken it?"

>"Yeah, they would blame us for their boss losing her sword," says the nun.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "Anyway, based on what Miko said, it actually sounds like Seiga may have stolen it. Which would be nice, I guess, because it means both of our issues can be solved in one fell swoop."
