Reisen Quest Another: A Z Machine Adventure

[Janitor Morgan]

> Assess Yorihime's condition. Could she easily weather the toxins, given time?
> Take a step back, remaining defensive.
> "...What do you mean?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Assess Yorihime's condition. Could she easily weather the toxins, given time?
> Take a step back, remaining defensive.
> "...What do you mean?"

>You...don't know. She's got a bad dosage, that much is clear, but she might get over it with time.  It'd still leave her sick for awhile. And given the rarity of disease in a pure land such as the moon, you doubt she'd have an easy time recovering.
>"J-just what I said," she answers, as she takes another step.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Another step back.
> "... Be that as it may, you need to get that pollen out of your system. And if you won't agree to a cease-fire..."
> Prepare Spread Sign: Invisible Full Moon, but do not invoke it yet.
> "... Are you sure this is what you want, Yorihime?"

> Prepare Spread Sign: Invisible Full Moon, but do not invoke it yet.
> "... Are you sure this is what you want, Yorihime?"

>You take another step back, trying to ignore the renewed swimming in your head.
>You prepare a spellcard.
>"I need you...poisoned...more than I n-need...to be better, anyways,"

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "You need me poisoned more then you need to live? Oh, and why is that, *insert Yorihime's full known name*? You plan on dragging my back to the moon and make an example of me or something?"

[UncertainJakutten]

> Fuck this shit
> Spellcard her ass, expect some very sneaky tricks that use our debilitated condition.

[Janitor Morgan]

> "I'd rather have neither of us poisoned. ...I'm sorry, but this battle has to end."
> Declare Spread Sign: Invisible Full Moon, adding the Purple and Green Gems.

[UncertainJakutten]

(Um...that's kinda silly rdj. We threw the poison first :v)

[Janitor Morgan]

(Ah, right, forgot about that. Nix that first sentence.)

[Hello Purvis]

> "You need me poisoned more then you need to live? Oh, and why is that, *insert Yorihime's full known name*? You plan on dragging my back to the moon and make an example of me or something?"

>"I'll....survive," she says Watatsuki no Yorihime.

> Fuck this shit
> Spellcard her ass, expect some very sneaky tricks that use our debilitated condition.

> Declare Spread Sign: Invisible Full Moon, adding the Purple and Green Gems.

>You don't think you're going to convince her.
>You declare the spellcard, letting the Green and Purple gems empower it, and Yorihime explodes into action, faster than you thought possible!
>Still, even though she doesn't seem to be as afflicted as you thought, you can see that she's still not up to her usual self.  She stumbles while trying to dodge around the first ring of bullets, which quietly home in on her, and is knocked back by the impact. Then as she slashes through the second ring, one slips under her sword and connects with her armpit.  The third ring vanishes, then appears right in front of her, sending her to the ground.
>You are quite sure she's out cold.

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Sheathe Yorihime's sword, set the sheathed sword on Yorihime's chest, pick her up and carry her back to Eientei.
> Find the room Eirin puts her medicine-for-use in.

[Hello Purvis]

> Sheathe Yorihime's sword, set the sheathed sword on Yorihime's chest, pick her up and carry her back to Eientei.
> Find the room Eirin puts her medicine-for-use in.

|

>You put Yorihime's sword away, then pick her up. She is...surprisingly light. Or, maybe you really are stronger now?
>You make your way back to the entrance of Eientei, having to pause every so often to let the world settle down around you.
>Coming to the entrance, you find Youmu, standing over the moon rabbits with her longer sword in hand, while the moon rabbits are sitting in the entry hall with their backs to the wall. Those that are conscious anyways. Some of them are cradling rifles that have been cut in half. Youmu herself has a few cuts and wounds, but it doesn't seem to have slowed her down. The rabbits stare as you bring Yorihime in, murmuring in amaezment. Youmu nods to you.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Nod back to Youmu.
> Continue to Eirin's office, and once there, set Yorihime down on the bed and locate the suzuran antidote.

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod back to Youmu.
> Continue to Eirin's office, and once there, set Yorihime down on the bed and locate the suzuran antidote.

>You take Yorihime into Eirin's office. As you walk in, horrible angry screeching assaults your ears! Looks like the Monkey Spider's sedative wore off.
>You find the antidote quickly, it is a whitish powder with the consistency of coarse flower. A small spoon is inside. You also find a flask of water.

>_

[Serela]

>Administer yourself the poison antidote right away!

[Janitor Morgan]

> Be sure to give a dose to Yorihime as well.

[Kilgamayan]

Hold up, hold up.

> Do NOT give Yorihime the antidote just yet. Nothing we've done will guarantee she won't just come at us again once she's better.
> Go find Kaguya.

[Hello Purvis]

>Administer yourself the poison antidote right away!

>Oh god, it tastes like what you imagine an old boot must taste like! It'll take a few minutes to take effect, but you already feel better just from the knowledge that you've administered it.

> Be sure to give a dose to Yorihime as well.

Hold up, hold up.

> Do NOT give Yorihime the antidote just yet. Nothing we've done will guarantee she won't just come at us again once she's better.
> Go find Kaguya.

>You consider giving Yorihime the antidote, but realize that she might not consider it a loss just yet. You don't know how tenacious she might be in the case of this.
>You go to find Kaguya, and after some searching around, find her overseeing the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. Patchouli is standing with her, looking bored. "Ah, there you are," says Kaguya, "Did you give her a proper thrashing? I hope you didn't embarrass me any further."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What did we use to refer to Yorihime back on the moon?
> "Yes, she has been subdued. She stuck to her motives, though, to the point where she was willing to die for them. I'm not so sure this was a simple political move anymore, she was pretty desperate."
> "I think we need to talk this out. There has to be a solution that saves face for her on Luna while keeping Patchouli here."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I think we need to talk this out. There has to be a solution that saves face for her on Luna while keeping Patchouli here."

>She had many titles, but Commander was the one you used. It doesn't really apply anymore. Regent might be better.
>"Good, good, and of course she did," says Kaguya. "To do any less would be an embarrassment and a sign of creeping impurity. Eirin and I have happily proven no one is immune to that, so they'll be giving her a very jaundiced look if she did less than her utmost."
>"You better not be thinking of selling me out," says Patchouli, giving you a look.  "Or you'll be coming down with me."
>"Oh hush," says Kaguya. "I think we've blunted her well enough to convince the capital that trying to move into Gensokyo as they will is a very foolish thing to do. Of course, they'll be more wary in the future. But we have our ways to smooth that over. As for salvaging her own position...well, what do you suggest?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I suggest we ask Master Eirin. If I knew my way around Lunarian politics we wouldn't be where we are now. To tell the truth, I'm hoping you and her have some ideas..."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I suggest we ask Master Eirin. If I knew my way around Lunarian politics we wouldn't be where we are now. To tell the truth, I'm hoping you and her have some ideas..."

>"Maybe," says Kaguya. "Patchouli, you should be quite safe now. It's rather undeniable that Yorihime had no divine mandate to take you. The tricky part will be allowing her to properly save face."
>"Good," says Patchouli flatly.
>"Obviously, we'll come out quite alright," Kaguya continues, "Though I imagine this has thoroughly ruined any ambitions you may have had for advancement back home, Reisen. But I expect that doesn't mean much to you, anymore. At least not until we can properly return. But that'll be quite some time. Hmm, Patchouli, would you be willing to sign a few vows not to meddle in the dark again?"
>"No," says Patchouli.
>Kaguya sighs. "We may need Eirin after all..."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I think I know how to take care of that quickly."
> Check around Eirin's office for any writing utensils and paper that she wouldn't mind us using.

[Hello Purvis]

> "I think I know how to take care of that quickly."
> Check around Eirin's office for any writing utensils and paper that she wouldn't mind us using.

>"Oh, this should be interesting," says Kaguya.
>You quickly retrieve some writing utensils and some paper. Eirin has more than enough of that stuff around. Despite her periodic chiding of Kaguya for laziness, she hates to get up for anything when she's settled in, so she just keeps basic things like that everywhere.

[Kilgamayan]

> Write the following note:
> "For Hong Meiling:
   Youmu Konpaku has been sent to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to find Master Eirin Yagokoro and call her back to Eientei. Even if you cannot permit her entry into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, please send Master Eirin to her. This matter is urgent and pertinent to the reason Master Eirin is at the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the first place. If Master Eirin resists, show her this letter.
   -  Reisen Udongein Inaba"
> Make sure that last part is signed.
> "I'll be right back."
> Head back to Youmu.

[Hello Purvis]

> Head back to Youmu.

>You write a quick note, trying to ignore the Monkey Spider screeching and banging on its cage, and sign it.
>You then go to the front doors, where Youmu is still watching over her prisoners. "Have you decided what to do with them?" she asks.

>_

[Thaws]

>Actually, would it be possible to use the Green Gem's power of attraction to make a paper airplane and have it flew right to the guard of SDM?

[Kilgamayan]

> "They just watched me haul their unconscious leader's body through here. They're not going to put up any more resistance."
> Turn to the rabbits, smirk.
> "At least, not if they don't want to join Commander Yorihime in La-La Land."
> Turn back to Youmu.
> "I'm not going to do anything else to them unless you think they deserve further punishment. It would be needless bloodshed and cruelty. They were only doing their duty, and they know they've lost."

[Hello Purvis]

>Actually, would it be possible to use the Green Gem's power of attraction to make a paper airplane and have it flew right to the guard of SDM?

>No. You cannot imbue objects with the Gems power. Only yourself and your spellcard effects.

> "They just watched me haul their unconscious leader's body through here. They're not going to put up any more resistance."
> Turn to the rabbits, smirk.
> "At least, not if they don't want to join Commander Yorihime in La-La Land."

> "I'm not going to do anything else to them unless you think they deserve further punishment. It would be needless bloodshed and cruelty. They were only doing their duty, and they know they've lost."

>The rabbit wince at your threat. But they vocally agree with your assertion that they're not going to cause trouble.
>"As you wish," Youmu says, sheathing her sword.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

Oh wait, I may not have thought my cunning plan all the way through.

> How much time is left before the rabbit play tonight?
