Sword Quest VII - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

A note for the peanut gallery, since it seems multiple people are watching, and Sacchi, at the very least, is now also trying commands (which is totally fine, that's not what this is about).

It is important to keep in mind that, on the surface, Seiga is trying to do with Miko thinks is best in uniting Gensokyo's humans under a single banner. We can't simply argue that this is wrong, we need reasons why Miko wouldn't want to do it this way. I have a few such ideas, but others are perfectly welcome to contribute.

Just a heads-up.

[Hello Purvis]

>She blinks. "How could I even find you until this morning?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Does Seiga not have access to Senkai?
> "Why did you not wait for me to awaken, and ask me then?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Does Seiga not have access to Senkai?
> "Why did you not wait for me to awaken, and ask me then?"

>Perhaps not.
>"Because you wouldn't have seen me," she says. "And, one doesn't discuss a surprise with the person to be surprised."

[Kilgamayan]

> Does she not know it exists?
> "Look here. I...can appreciate the sentiment. Truly. But the execution is quite problematic, in multiple ways. I will not allow my name to be attached to this particular endeavour."

> "Look here. I...can appreciate the sentiment. Truly. But the execution is quite problematic, in multiple ways. I will not allow my name to be attached to this particular endeavour."

>You imagine she does.
>"Well,if you don't wish that, I can keep it as secret."

[Kilgamayan]

> "That will require the complete non-involvement of you, and of my sword."

[Hello Purvis]

> "That will require the complete non-involvement of you, and of my sword."

>"Ah, it is much too late for that," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Then the current iteration must be ceased, and we shall try again under different circumstances."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Then the current iteration must be ceased, and we shall try again under different circumstances."

>"It is also much to late for that, I'm said."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Not necessarily. The half-ghost gardener did say she was going to visit Meira's residence in the process of searching for you. She may slow Meira down."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Not necessarily. The half-ghost gardener did say she was going to visit Meira's residence in the process of searching for you. She may slow Meira down."

>"But she isn't there," says Seiga.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Then they may encounter each other at the shores of Sanzu River, unless the shikigami is held somewhere other than Higan."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Then they may encounter each other at the shores of Sanzu River, unless the shikigami is held somewhere other than Higan."

>"I suppose they might," she says "But that's fine, the half-ghost is likely one of the people we need to best, anyways."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> Take on a less accusatory, slightly more compassionate tone.
> "Must we?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "Must we?"

>"It's not necessary in her case, I suppose,"says Seiga,"But it would help. Really, it is the Hakurei Maiden we need to deal with, she is the main thing that keeps people from organizing."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I wonder if perhaps I could convince her to at least look the other way. If nothing else, I do not want to pit human against human to achieve this idea."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Is she human?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Reimu is human, yes?

[Hello Purvis]

> Reimu is human, yes?

>Yes.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "The Hakurei shrine maiden? Most certainly."

[Hello Purvis]

> "The Hakurei shrine maiden? Most certainly."

>"Oh, I thought you meant the half-ghost. No no, it is very necessary to defeat Reimu, so people can see that Meira is better able to protect them."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Did you tell Meira the source of the new life force you have bestowed upon her?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Did you tell Meira the source of the new life force you have bestowed upon her?"

>"She didn't care," says Seiga.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "Surely you told her of the danger it poses to her well-being, at least."

[Hello Purvis]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "Surely you told her of the danger it poses to her well-being, at least."

>"She wasn't worried, and I'm not either," says Seiga.

[Kilgamayan]

> "How precisely is she wielding it, anyway?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "How precisely is she wielding it, anyway?"

>"She seems to have taken to it like a duck to water," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "So she now contains it within herself, instead of in a sword?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "So she now contains it within herself, instead of in a sword?"

>"In a sword?" says Seiga.
