Sword Quest XIII - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm, i don't know what you mean exactly by exciting, but looks like for now, starting as friends is the way."
>"And just to settle something on my mind, how is the play you made progressing, Yuyuko-Sama ?"

>"Oh I''ve barely had any time," she says. "The day after tomorrow, though."

>_

[Monarda]

>"I see, i have to admit i'm quite curious about how it will be."
>Has Yuyuko ever tried something like this ? Music, painting, anything ?

[Hello Purvis]

>"I see, i have to admit i'm quite curious about how it will be."
>Has Yuyuko ever tried something like this ? Music, painting, anything ?

>"I think everyone will be impressed," she says.
>Yuyuko intermittently takes up various arts or studies, or whatever catches her interest, until her interest wanes and she leaves it without a second thought.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I certainly hope so."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I certainly hope so."

>"Oh, don't you worry about that," says Yuyuko. "That's for me to worry about, you have your own worries, don't you?"

>_

[Monarda]

>"True, however since you're my mistress, your worries and issues also become mine in a way, yet i will do as you say."
>"Yuyuko-Sama, about Yoshika, the jiang-shi, who had the idea to bury her on the ground ? Was it Lady Yukari ?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yuyuko-Sama, about Yoshika, the jiang-shi, who had the idea to bury her on the ground ? Was it Lady Yukari ?"

>"Oh yes, it was quite convenient, really," says Yuyuko. "I was simply thinking of putting a dressed on top of her, but that's not very reliable . Yoshika seems much happier this way."

>_

[Monarda]

>"She always seems to be happy, hmm, i wonder how long those four will take at Eientei."
>"Do you know what Lady Yukari is planning or doing right now ?"
>Work on the rock-paper-scissors with the ghost project.

>"Do you know what Lady Yukari is planning or doing right now ?"
>Work on the rock-paper-scissors with the ghost project.

>"Who can tell?" says Yuyuko. "Oh, Yukari went home, getting herself prepared for the mahjong tournament."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, okay. That is unfortunate, but understandable."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, okay. That is unfortunate, but understandable."

>"My, I would not imagine you would consider Yukari being elsewhere to be fortunate," says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Clear throat awkwardly.
> "My acquaintanceship with Yukari-sama aside, her presence would make unearthing the zombie much quicker and easier."

[Hello Purvis]

> Clear throat awkwardly.
> "My acquaintanceship with Yukari-sama aside, her presence would make unearthing the zombie much quicker and easier."

>"Ah, that is true," says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What does Yuyuko think of the fact that we do not like Yukari, and vice versa?

[Hello Purvis]

> What does Yuyuko think of the fact that we do not like Yukari, and vice versa?

>It doesn't seem to perturb her.  But you also suspect she probably curbs the worse of Yukari's inclinations.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm...Thank you for listening to my problems, Yuyuko-sama. I do feel better now."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Mmm...Thank you for listening to my problems, Yuyuko-sama. I do feel better now."

>"Is that the case?" she says. "Then excellent, I am happy to have helped!"

>_

[Monarda]

>"You always help,Yuyuko-Sama."
>"Now what will you do now ?"

Do you want to go to Eientei or stay here and wait ? Which ever you choose is fine by me.

[Hello Purvis]

>"You always help,Yuyuko-Sama."
>"Now what will you do now ?"

>"Well, if we are expecting guests, it would be improper not to wait for the, don't you think?" says Yuyuko.

>_

[Monarda]

>"You are correct, maybe i should just wait then, the wounds are probably harder to take of than i thought."
>Okay now we work on the rock-paper-scissors.
>"I'm trying to work on how to play rock-paper-scissors with my ghost half, just a trivia i've thinked about, any ideas ?"

[Kilgamayan]

I'd prefer to stay here, since this is where we said we'd meet.

>"Oh dear," says Yuyuko.
>ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD: Miko.
>It has not been an easy trip, this last leg. Thankfully, Seiga knows how to follow the marker stones in the Bamboo Forest, which lets you focus on walking while trying not to fall over and pull your companions down with you. The pain is getting to be quite distracting now, and it's digging into your reserves of strength at this point. It is a bit difficult to retain your composure as the front doors of Eientei suddenly emerge from the surrounding bamboo.
>You note that your quartet seem to be the only people out at this hour; those the trench remains around the visible circumference of the manor. A few planks of wood bridge the trench before the front doors.

[Monarda]

>Advance and knock or ring a doorbell, which ever can be done.
>How is everyone else faring ?
>Once someone answers or it seems we can enter, enter ! :V

Kilga, time to change ya avatar.

[Hello Purvis]

>Advance and knock or ring a doorbell, which ever can be done.
>How is everyone else faring ?
>Once someone answers or it seems we can enter, enter ! :V

>You advance, Futo and Tojiko moving to support you. You raise your hand, to knock, but Futo says, "Allow me, Crown Prince," and beats you to it.
>Seiga seems more or less alright; she did come out of the whole fray in the best condition, though. She'll be fine with a little rest. Tojiko and Futo are a bit more frazzled, but they are holding up admirably. Futo seems better off now than she did when you first met her earlier today.
>The door opens after a minute, and a dark-haired rabbit peeks out. "Whaddaya want?" she says at first, then her face shifts as she looks at you. "Oh, geez, that."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Manage a wry smile.
> "Yes...I would rather my return here have been under better circumstances. My apologies for the timing of my arrival."

[Hello Purvis]

> Manage a wry smile.
> "Yes...I would rather my return here have been under better circumstances. My apologies for the timing of my arrival."

>"Yeah, you guys better come in," says the rabbit, opening the door for you.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "My gratitude."
> Enter!

[Hello Purvis]

> "My gratitude."
> Enter!

>You make your way inside, and the rabbit gestures for you to follow her.
>The decor within is what you would consider "modern", within regards of your own sense of aesthetics. You imagine it's hopelessly archaic as far as most people in Gensokyo are concerned. The walls are paper, painted with scenes of nature and bordered with pleasing patterns. The floors are vanished wood, clean and covered with tastefully decorated carpets. There is a kind of quiet here, even though you are certain the entirety of the rabbits you saw before are likely here, going about heaven knows what.
>The rabbit leads you down a corridor to the right, and take syou toward the end of it, where there is a modest sliding door. She opens it without hestitation and says, "Hey, we got a bad case here!" As she speaks, she waves you in.

>_

[Monarda]

>Enter again !
>Look around the room for items that catch our attention and for who is there, is Raisin Reisen present ?
>"Greetings, we have cone to request some medical aid."
>Turn to the Dark-haired rabbit and say: "You have my gratitude for the assistance, thank you."

>"Greetings, we have cone to request some medical aid."
>Turn to the Dark-haired rabbit and say: "You have my gratitude for the assistance, thank you."

>You make your way inside. You find yourself inside a white-paneled room dominated by a large desk and walls lined with cabinets. At the desk, which is covered with various papers, alchemy tools, and knickknacks you cannot identify, is a tall woman with silver hair, in a dress of alternating red and blue.  She glances up as you enter, and then says, "There's a cot along the wall there, please lay down," before you can speak. You don't see any sign of Reisen.
>You turn to the rabbit, but she is already hurrying off. "Sure thing!" she calls back.
