> "Well I don't think you're strong enough by yourself, but do you have any other ideas?  Moving it is the most important thing after all."

[E-Nazrin]

>consider for a moment, then giggle
>"Ah, now I'm getting meaner ideas. Wouldn't it be funny to switch the Moriya and Hakurei donation boxes? That could be pretty interesting... I wonder what other effects that would have?"

> "Well I don't think you're strong enough by yourself, but do you have any other ideas?  Moving it is the most important thing after all."

>"Fudge," says Tenshi, crossing her arms and frowning. Then her eyes light up. "Maybe we could set it on fire, instead?"

>"Would they notice? I wouldn't."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "We're trying to cause mayhem, not get ourselves killed.  If we set her donation box on fire, she probably would not hesitate to kill us."

[E-Nazrin]

>"Now you've got me wondering about vandalizing the shrine with 'armpits' graffiti."

[Hello Purvis]

> "We're trying to cause mayhem, not get ourselves killed.  If we set her donation box on fire, she probably would not hesitate to kill us."

>"Only if she knows it's us," says Tenshi with a grin.

>"Now you've got me wondering about vandalizing the shrine with 'armpits' graffiti."

>"That might cheese her off," says Tenshi, "But would it really cause any mayhem?"

[Kasu]

> "We could steal the donation box, then when she's out, you could raid her shrine for food and alcohol, and then mess the place up a bit.  But if anyone asks, I had nothing to do with it."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Okay!" says Tenshi.

[Kasu]

> "Great. Now gimme the wheel in order to seal the deal."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Great. Now gimme the wheel in order to seal the deal."

>"Okay!" says Tenshi.
>She disappears into the back room, and returns a moment later with a large wagon wheel. "Here you go!" she says, handing it to you.

[Kasu]

> "Thank you.  Now then, I hope you succeed in your endeavor."
> Bid Tenshi farewell.
> "Nazrin, Murasa wants you back at the temple."
> Head for Eientei.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Thank you.  Now then, I hope you succeed in your endeavor."
> Bid Tenshi farewell.
> "Nazrin, Murasa wants you back at the temple."
> Head for Eientei.

>"Hey, wait a minute!" says Tenshi. "You said 'we' could steal it!"
>"Oh, thanks!" says Nazrin. She leaves some ☼ on the table, and leaves.
>You start for Eientei. "Hey, get back here!" Tenshi cries.

>_

[Toasty]

>Get back there
>take nazrin's ☼ for yourself

[Kasu]

> Stop.
> Sigh.
> Head back to Tenshi.
> "Fine then, but we have to distract her somehow...  Lets tell her that Tewi is pickpocketing around town."

[Hello Purvis]

>Get back there
>take nazrin's ☼ for yourself

>You head back.
>It seems that Tenshi has already pounced on the ☼. In retrospect, she'd probably have to if she wanted to keep things running.

> Stop.
> Sigh.
> Head back to Tenshi.
> "Fine then, but we have to distract her somehow...  Lets tell her that Tewi is pickpocketing around town."

>"Okay!" Tenshi nods enthusiastically.

[Hello Purvis]

>There are no current plans for a Turkish release of Patchy Quest. Please accept our apologies.

[Chaore]

>Thats my schtick, Bub.
>Prepare for the endeavor, with or without the celestial. You want this done, and right.

[E-Nazrin]

>cue yakety sax

[Hello Purvis]

>Thats my schtick, Bub.
>Prepare for the endeavor, with or without the celestial. You want this done, and right.

>I got your schtick right here.
>Preparation would not be a bad idea! What do you do to prepare?

>cue yakety sax

>You have no idea how to do this.

>_

[Chaore]

>Normally this is where the people with a clue for the puzzle shit come in.
>...
>Uh... Figure out if you and Tenshi alone can move the donation box, or if you'll still need help?

>...
>Uh... Figure out if you and Tenshi alone can move the donation box, or if you'll still need help?

>That's not how a Z-Machine rolls.
>From what you recall, the donation box is large, but not especially heavy. Unless Tenshi is significantly more puny than you think, it should be possible for the two of your to move it.

[Rin Kagamine]

> First, bring wheel to Eientai.  Bring Tenshi with us.

[Hello Purvis]

>You return to Eientei, with Tenshi in tow.
>You find Reisen at the gates again. She eyes Tenshi suspiciously, which is fine with you as it means she isn't looking at you.
>"I'll just take that, then," says Reisin.

[Toasty]

>Head to hakurei shrine now that yo ditched ya wheels, dawg. We gotta do dis heist old skool.
>Engage in donation box theft.

[Hello Purvis]

>Head to hakurei shrine now that yo ditched ya wheels, dawg. We gotta do dis heist old skool.
>Engage in donation box theft.

>You approach the Hakurei shrine. Reimu is busy sweeping inside, though the door hangs open. Suika is still on the ground where you left her two visits ago. Whether she is dozing or blacked out is beyond your ken.

[Toasty]

>Make note to have Z machine display this upon failure
>Tell reimu rumia is in the human village scamming people out of "secret items".
>If she doesn't believe that, say oni are attacking keine.
>If that fails, just say there's an incident.

>What what?
>"Oh yeah, she's been doing that for a little bit now," says Reimu. "It's kinda cute." She nods politely to Tenshi.
>"Really? You found her? This have anything to do with that crazy story you told me earlier? Oh, how'd things go at Hakugyokurou?"
>Reimu gives you an a critical look.
>Tenshi is bouncing on her heels excitedly.

[Toasty]

>to reimu: "Well, GO SAVE KEINE!"

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Not so good at Hagkugyokurou.  Yuyuko freed a ghost from my haunted Rattling Box, but told me to talk to Yukari about helping Jeff K Anon.  Do you think you could go check and see if she's awake?  Frankly, the Yakumo's terrify me in a way you wouldn't believe, so I'd rather not go there unless I'm sure she's awake.  Also, could you let her know I'll be stopping by?  I would much appreciate it."
