Maribel Quest Followthrough - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> To Satori: "Ah, not to add to her workload too much, but when she wakes up, can you tell her that Kanako has also shown interest in the jet project, and, in fact, would be 'grateful' for the help? If Utsuho decides it interests her enough to do, she'll probably need to talk to Nitori in order to secure kappa help."
> To Renko: "Looks like you've made another new friend."

[DracoOmega]

>"Parsee actually seemed downright cheerful when we passed her earlier. I like to think the future's hopeful on that score."

> To Renko: "Looks like you've made another new friend."

>Satori nods. "I'll explain it to her as well as I can."
>Renko nods, as she pets the fuzzy interloper. "Yeah. Nice little guy."
>Satori gives you a quick, questioning glance, while Renko is distracted.

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back at Satori.
> Think At this point, even if it is Koishi, I don't want you to tell me. I really don't think it is anymore anyway. I don't know who it would be instead, but...I can't think of a motive for her, and everything else surrounding her situation could easily be explained by things I've heard about her.

>Wait, why would we NOT want to know if it was Koishi, even if that seems unlikely, now? Why refuse any piece of information?

[Kilgamayan]

> Because Renkotrust.

[DracoOmega]

I don't think it's a trust violation to be told if someone's messing with her head. Satori already said she wouldn't tell us anything more than that

[Kilgamayan]

Okay, let's modify it then.

> Nix this.

>Satori nods, once.
>"Have you enjoyed yourself here, Miss Usami?" Satori says.
>"Oh yeah." Renko nods. "Most enlightening couple days of my life!"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Yeah, it's pretty incredible, isn't it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, it's pretty incredible, isn't it?"

Satori nods, then stands. "You'll have to excuse me now. I need to feed the animals, then get started on dinner."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Sure."
>To Renko: "Well, ought to let her sleep. Here, we can go somewhere where we won't wake her."
>Lead her towards the guest room where we're staying

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sure."
>To Renko: "Well, ought to let her sleep. Here, we can go somewhere where we won't wake her."
>Lead her towards the guest room where we're staying

>Satori makes her way out, and most of the cats follow, including Renko's companion. They must be well aware that it's feeding time.
>"Sure thing," says Renko.
>You lead her to the guest room you woke up in. She has a look around, "Kinda downscale, but not bad."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>Make out

[DracoOmega]

>"Well, it's a comfortable enough place to crash, anyway. This room is actually where I woke up to Gensokyo. Satori was the first person I met here."
>"Did anyone tell you what really happened? With Gensokyo Isle, I mean. Most people don't really know, but I don't know what you're heard."

[Hello Purvis]

>Make out

>Satori did say to be more honest

>"Well, it's a comfortable enough place to crash, anyway. This room is actually where I woke up to Gensokyo. Satori was the first person I met here."
>"Did anyone tell you what really happened? With Gensokyo Isle, I mean. Most people don't really know, but I don't know what you're heard."

>She sits on the bed. "Well, it's better than having a bush digging into your back when you woke up."
>"Not really, no. I've kinda pieced together the two places are connected, though. But it's gotta be more complex than that."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...You know, that reminds me...you said you got here yesterday?"

[DracoOmega]

>"I don't know everything, and I certainly don't know the mechanism by which it was achieved, but in a nutshell: Someone transported Gensokyo into the outside world, and sealed away the powers, memories, and non-human characteristics of nearly everyone here. They made it a real place in the outside. And then, eventually, Utsuho managed to restore it to its original location. We somehow got dragged along with it."

[Hello Purvis]

> "...You know, that reminds me...you said you got here yesterday?"

>"Woke up two days ago, actually," says Renko.

>"Huh..." she says. "Well, I guess it makes some sense."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"I wonder why you ended up here two days before me, though? Or how you even could, even we were just dragged back along with this place."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I wonder why you ended up here two days before me, though? Or how you even could, even we were just dragged back along with this place."

>"I dunno," says Renko. "I'm not sure why, either. Have any ideas? You know what happened better than I do."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"I don't really know, actually. Keine, the person who was most in charge of fixing this said she wasn't sure how I ended up here at all. Apparently Gensokyo Isle was undone in a such a way that, by and large, it never really happened. She could only speculate that I came along for the ride because I had such aspirations to find this kind of place in the first place."

>"What'd she do?" Renko asks."The way it sounds, she messed with time..."

>_

[E-Nazrin]

No commands, but a recommendation: We want to talk to Orin about how she helped Utsuho get over her megalomania.

[DracoOmega]

>"I think she said it had something to do with history. I don't know the details."

No commands, but a recommendation: We want to talk to Orin about how she helped Utsuho get over her megalomania.

While this sounds sensible, no one actually mentioned that Orin was involved with that incident, unfortunately. Just Reimu and Marisa.

[Hello Purvis]

>"I think she said it had something to do with history. I don't know the details."

>Renko chuckles. "See, not even time's immune." She falls back on the bed at stares at the ceiling. "So, what's this about oni chases?"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Well, Satori took me out to show me some of the city, and some oni came out of nowhere and tried to kidnap me. Apparently it's just something they do to humans. I think the gist of it, in the end, is that they get you plastered, make you do their housework, and drag you to a party you're never allowed to leave. Of course, I wasn't really thinking this when you've got someone swinging a sword around and shooting waves of bullets with it. To be fair, she didn't actually fire any at ME, as far as I can tell. Satori tried to defend me, but I don't think she would have won on her own. It helps that she could read the oni's mind, but she just wasn't fast enough to keep up, anyway. So, I ended up baiting the oni away, and running through an alleyway, and a bar, complete with overturned tables and all, before I managed to drag her back to Satori, who got a shot in on her when she was distracted with me."
>"Funny thing is, after we won, the oni 'claimed' me, and told the rest of the oni on her turf that they're not allowed to touch me, so it's been pretty calm out there since."

>She chuckles, "Well, that oni has good taste, if nothing else. Now I'm kinda insulted that they didn't take a shot at me. You didn't get hurt, right?"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"No, not really. Although, I was kind of panicking at the time. I mean, how do you think you'd have been in my place? And I honestly wouldn't be insulted. You're probably better off with them not caring. Or maybe guests of me are also off limits? Who knows."
