Iku Quest - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>Fly over the edge and descend
>What seems to be directly below?

>It isn't necessary to do this in order to see what is below. It is a hill, covered in what looks like old flowers. You can't tell what they are from here.
>You see motion to the north; glancing over, you notice it is a smallish person flying around; you aren't sure who she is.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Fly towards this person
>See if we can see who they are

[Hello Purvis]

>Fly towards this person
>See if we can see who they are

>You fly toward her, noting her short blond hair and frilly red dress.
>She notices your approach, and shouts, "What the hell is this thing!?"

>She notices your approach, and shouts, "What the hell is this thing!?"

>_

> Shout back, "I beg your pardon?"

[DracoOmega]

>Are we familiar with the identity of the person in front of us? Or at least enough to recognize who they probably are?

[Hello Purvis]

> Shout back, "I beg your pardon?"

>She draws closer, enough that you see she looks rather irked. "I said, what the hell is this thing?" She gestures toward the Hinanai Shrine Isle.

>Are we familiar with the identity of the person in front of us? Or at least enough to recognize who they probably are?

>No.

[DracoOmega]

>"It is an island. It is part of Bhava-Agra. I apologize for its sudden appearance. I assure you there is no harm intended by it."

[Hello Purvis]

>"It is an island. It is part of Bhava-Agra. I apologize for its sudden appearance. I assure you there is no harm intended by it."

>"Huh?" she says. "What's that? Why's it floating over my hill?"

[DracoOmega]

>Bow a little
>"I apologize if we intruded. It was unintentional, and we're attempting to investigate how to move it back to its normal location. It will be gone as soon as we are able to do so, I assure you."
>"On that note, I don't suppose you saw a blue-haired woman pass by this way a short while ago?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Bow a little
>"I apologize if we intruded. It was unintentional, and we're attempting to investigate how to move it back to its normal location. It will be gone as soon as we are able to do so, I assure you."
>"On that note, I don't suppose you saw a blue-haired woman pass by this way a short while ago?"

>You bow and apologize. The woman frowns, "Well, okay, thanks. But why is it even here?"
>"I don't think so. But I was too busy staring at the huge floating island that just fell out of the sky."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Why it's here is a good question. I wish that I had a suitable answer to give you. We're still investigating."
>Do we know the way to the village from here?
>If not: "Can you tell me how to get to the human village from here?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Why it's here is a good question. I wish that I had a suitable answer to give you. We're still investigating."
>Do we know the way to the village from here?
>If not: "Can you tell me how to get to the human village from here?"

>"That's not much of an answer," says the woman, crossing her arms and frowning at the island. "It's not going to fall any more, is it?"
>You saw it to the south.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"I very much hope not. A great many people I care about live there. I truly wish I knew more, for their sake as well as yours."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I very much hope not. A great many people I care about live there. I truly wish I knew more, for their sake as well as yours."

>"Wait, people live on these things?" she asks.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Yes. I just came from there myself. They're usually... much higher in the sky."

[Fightest]

> Because it hasn't been explicitly mentioned otherwise, I imagined this whole conversation being shouted between us them them. That was amusing.
> "Say, might I ask you to do me a favour?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes. I just came from there myself. They're usually... much higher in the sky."

>"Oh. Um. You're not going to mess with my hill, right?"

> Because it hasn't been explicitly mentioned otherwise, I imagined this whole conversation being shouted between us them them. That was amusing.
> "Say, might I ask you to do me a favour?"

>Well, talking loudly.
>"What?" she asks.

[DracoOmega]

>"I assure you that neither I nor they have any intention of affecting your hill in any manner. I'm simply looking for someone and this was the nearest place to the island's current location."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I assure you that neither I nor they have any intention of affecting your hill in any manner. I'm simply looking for someone and this was the nearest place to the island's current location."

>She frowns, clearly not very convinced. "I didn't see anyone."

>_

[Fightest]

>She frowns, clearly not very convinced. "I didn't see anyone."

>_

> "And that's the favour I wish to ask you. Keep a lookout for a girl with blue hair, a cap with peaches on it and a brightly-coloured dress, and please record when and if you see her. Also, tell anyone you know whom you might talk to to do this. I hope it's not too much of an issue?"

[E-Nazrin]

>Approach a little to make talking a little easier.
>We'd best be fairly honest about this.
>"I'm not entirely sure how, but she's probably related to these islands 'falling' as low as they have. Finding her will probably be important to returning things to normal, one way or another."
>Particularly that part, to motivate people to help...
>"Her name's Tenshi. People might know her... she spends some time in Gensokyo."
>"Be warned that she has the Sword of Hisou again, so she's armed with more strength than might normally be expected of her. Be careful if you do encounter her."

>What do we know about Yukari Yakumo? And her relations to the Dragon?

>"I don't see too many people out here," says the blonde woman, "But I'll try to keep that in mind, I guess."

>What do we know about Yukari Yakumo? And her relations to the Dragon?

>You approach a bit more, and decide to be forthright.
>"Is she now?" says the woman, "I think I might have heard that name somewhere. I'll definitely keep an eye out for her."
>You have met Yukari once. She was rather unpleasant. As far as you know, she doesn't really have any relation to The Dragon, save that they were both involved with the creation of the Great Hakurei Border.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Thank you."
>Do we have any idea where we are in Gensokyo, relative to known locations?

[Hello Purvis]

>"Thank you."
>Do we have any idea where we are in Gensokyo, relative to known locations?

>She nods. "Yeah, yeah, no problem."
>You're pretty sure you've seen the human village in the distance to the south, so it shouldn't be hard to orient yourself.

[Kilgamayan]

> Recall known information about Reimu, both from general word-of-mouth and personal interaction.

[Kasu]

> Bid the woman farewell and head for the Hakurei Shrine.  We at least owe it to Reimu to tell her what happened.

[E-Nazrin]

Anyone inclined to ask Medicine her name out of politeness, or am I worrying too much?

[Kilgamayan]

Wouldn't hurt.

[Hello Purvis]

> Recall known information about Reimu, both from general word-of-mouth and personal interaction.

>You don't know her very well, but they one encounter you've had with her demonstrated she is not to be messed with. She is known for being lazy punctuated with bouts of being absolutely driven. Apparently she is nice enough in the former state.

> Bid the woman farewell and head for the Hakurei Shrine.  We at least owe it to Reimu to tell her what happened.

>"Leaving, huh?" she says. She points at the Hinanai Shrine Island over her shoulder with her thumb. "Should I do anything about this big stupid thing?"

>_

[Kasu]

> "I'm afraid there isn't much you can do except wait this out.  I'm truly sorry about this Miss...?"
