Maribel Quest Perpetuation: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "I'm honestly not sure. Dunno how much of it she doesn't mind getting around and how much she wants kept private. If you have the time, though, I'd suggest going down there and visiting her. She'd probably be quite happy to see you. And you could find out what you needed to find out directly from her, instead of hearing it second-hand from me."

>"Yeah, I think maybe I ought to do that," says Nitori with a nod.

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we tell Nitori that the dream wasn't just a dream? It's hard to remember all the people that know.

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we tell Nitori that the dream wasn't just a dream? It's hard to remember all the people that know.

>You're pretty sure you did.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah, I think she'd like it. And who knows? Maybe she'll solve your air conditioner problem."
> "Be careful about who you talk to about Gensokyo Isle if you go, though. Not everyone knows. Her immediate family does, as does her Earth Spider friend Yamame, but the underground by and large still assumes it was just a dream."

>"Alright," she says, "I'll keep that in mind."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Okay then, excellent."
> "We have to take off now. Have you heard about where our house is yet? It's on the edge of the woods..."
> Proceed to give a more accurate description of our house's location.
> "Feel free to stop by, if you're ever in the area. If you're looking for some outside world inspirations, I'm sure we could offer a few suggestions."
> Assuming Nitori doesn't stop us, bid farewell and make our way toward the tavern exit.
> Wave to Yuuka on the way out. Assuming she doesn't stop us for anything, leave the tavern and make way to Keine's school.

>Nitori nods. "I think I've seen that place from a distance. Maybe I'll drop in sometime."
>Nitori doesn't stop you from leaving. You wave to Yuka. She glances over toward you, and nods politely. She seems satisfied with this, and lets you go about your business.
>You leave the tavern without buying anything yet again, and make your way toward the school. There doesn't seem to be much activity around it at the moment.

> Knock on the door.

[Hello Purvis]

> Knock on the door.

>You knock on the door.
>There is no answer.
>You recall there was a bell beside the door that you used last night. It is still there.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Smack self in the forehead.
> Ring bell.

[Hello Purvis]

> Smack self in the forehead.
> Ring bell.

>"What'd you do that for, Mary?" Renko asks.
>You ring the bell. After a few moments, the door opens. "Ah, hello again," says Keine as she stands at the threshold. She glances at your companion. "This is Renko, I take it?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yes, it is. Renko, this is Keine."
> "Did you happen to see the news today?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Yes, it is. Renko, this is Keine."
> "Did you happen to see the news today?"

>"Hello," says Renko, bowing toward Keine. Keine nods in return.
>"I have," Keine says, "It is how I recognized her."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Keine has seen the paper and made no mention to us of Dai? Interesting.
> "Ah, good, that might make this explanation a bit easier. Do you remember the article about myself and the construct I fought? And, as unrelated as this sounds, do you happen to know if Reisen's mansion gets the newspaper?"

>Well you just got here.
>"I seldom have any reason to be at Eientei," says Keine, "so I am afraid I couldn't tell you. I don't think so, though. They're a little isolated and rather prefer it that way."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Okay. That's actually better, now that I think about it. If Reisen hasn't seen this yet, I'd rather show it to her myself."
> "You see, the construct thing I fought is apparently something she fought once herself, and apparently it was much nastier back then. Given what I've heard about its origins, I don't think she'll be at all happy to hear it was still running around."
> "Given that...would it be possible for us to make a trip to Eientei, to explain to her what has happened with this thing?"

>"I wouldn't know how to get there," says Keine. "Mokou does, but I doubt she would want to go given, according to the article, the problem has been resolved."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh. Well. Okay."
> "If she doesn't want to go, then...is it possible for her to just tell us how to get there? Or is that out of the question because of how crazy the place is? I've heard it's really hard to get through the forest."

>"I wouldn't put faith in any directions," says Keine. "Not unless you're already experienced with the place."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, shoot."
> Tug at own hair a bit in agitation.
> "Is there anyone else in the village that would know how to get there?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, shoot."
> Tug at own hair a bit in agitation.
> "Is there anyone else in the village that would know how to get there?"

>You express your frustration and agitation. Keine frowns a bit.
>"Not that I know of," She says. "Eientei doesn't receive too many guests. Is it really that important? Perhaps I could make sure she has all the details next time I see her?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "If push came to shove, I guess I could just leave her a message. There is one other thing I want to ask her about, though. It involves rabbit activity, and is a bit more pressing than this news."

>"Rabbit activity?" asks Keine.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "A bucket was stolen underground recently. I know it sounds like 'just a bucket', but it was someone's living quarters. According to that person, a short rabbit passed by in the time frame in which the bucket disappeared. I was hoping Reisen might know something about it."
> "There were a few other passers-by, but most were rather non-descript, so this seemed like the best place to start."

[Kilgamayan]

> "I, ah, don't know who that is. All I do know is that there are plenty of rabbits where Reisen lives, and I haven't really seen any other rabbits around aside from her. Though I'll admit, she wasn't exactly short. If they're all as tall as her, I'll probably have to look elsewhere."

> Fact check: Who told us about the abandoned Lunarian base, and do we remember where they said it was?

[Hello Purvis]

> Fact check: Who told us about the abandoned Lunarian base, and do we remember where they said it was?

>It was either Yuka or Komachi.... You believe it is somewhere south of Yuka's field.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> And in what direction is Yuuka's field from the village?
> "Hmm, then maybe it was someone from her house. I guess I have some asking around to do, then. Apologies for bothering you about this."
