Iku Quest N?nt? - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "Alright, then. We'll be back in a bit, everyone."
> Assuming there is no objection to our leaving, head out and fly off to the Dragon Palace with Tenshi in tow.

>You depart, with a general chorus of  goodbyes and farewells behind you.
>You fly toward the Dragon Palace. Passing over the town, you see things appear more or less normal from above. A few people are are flying around Orchard Isle, but it appears nothing untoward is going on, save for the peach reserves probably being drained further. You can see the Dragon Palace in the distance.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we recognize anyone flying around Orchard Isle?
> Continue on to the Dragon Palace. Keep an eye out for any Gensokyo natives once there, since we saw some around it earlier in the day.

>You think you recognize Mokou, at least. It seems she's on break or some such.
>You continue northward, soon reaching the Dragon Palace. Things have not changed much, the easy part of the clean-up effort seems to have been mostly completed. Landing near the entrance, you see celestials bustling about, trying to sort and remove the piles of debris. You also notice a couple of Gensokyoans are lingering about; you recognize the blonde-haired woman in the red dress you met yesterday right after the fall and Tenshi's escape, and you feel a frown coming on as you notice the distinctive green hair, checked clothes, and umbrella of Yuka.

[Kilgamayan]

> Give Tenshi a concerned stare.
> Can Yuuka see us? If not, wordlessly point at her while staring at Tenshi. If so, try to indicate we're looking at Yuuka by moving our eyes back and forth.

>Yuka's back is presently turned toward you.
>Tenshi looks toward where you are pointing, and frowns. "Maybe we should take the long way around?" she says quietly.

[Kilgamayan]

> Speak in an equally quiet voice.
> "Maybe."
> Does Yuuka appear to be doing anything right now?

[Hello Purvis]

> Speak in an equally quiet voice.
> "Maybe."
> Does Yuuka appear to be doing anything right now?

>Right now, it seems Yuka is idly watching some of the clean-up process.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Still keeping a low voice.
> "Well...she doesn't seem to be doing anything actively harmful, at least. I think I may go talk to her, to find out why she's here, and perhaps find out what it will take for her to move on. Would you like to go the long way around to avoid her, and we can meet up again in my room?"

>"Sure," says Tenshi, "Don't get beaten up."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I'll try. See you in a bit."
> Walk to Yuuka. If she turns to look at us before we get into speaking range, hail her.
> "Good afternoon, Lady Kazami. May I help you wish something?"

>You part ways from Tenshi and approach Yuka.
>"Ah, hello," says Yuka. "Perhaps you could tell me why this place is floating toward my fields?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Of course. Bhava-Agra's islands have a tendency to float around independently of the Gensokyo landmarks they are above. As for why they are this close to your fields at all, you may have observed that Bhava-Agra's shadow is in an improper state. It is this shadow anomaly that has caused our land to fall so very close to yours. I am working to fix this problem and return Bhava-Agra to its normal place high in the sky. I sincerely apologize for the trouble it has caused you."

>"Hm," says Yuka. "Very well."
>She returns her attention back to what she was watching beforehand.

[Kilgamayan]

> "If that is all you desired to know, then I must continue my duties. I wish you well, Lady Kazami, and I also do wish that we were not about to drift into your territory. Believe me when I say that Bhava-Agra would be back where it normally is if its citizens had any say in the matter."

>She nods idly, apparently paying you no mind.

[DracoOmega]

>Continue onward to our room

[Hello Purvis]

>Continue onward to our room

>You continue toward your chambers, and find Tenshi lingering outside them.
>"How'd it go?"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Surprisingly fine, actually. She asked why the island was moving towards her fields, I explained that they always drift across the sky, and that we were working to set them back in their proper places. She seemed satisfied enough with this, thankfully."

[Kilgamayan]

> Enter our room and gesture to Tenshi to follow us.

>"Well, as long as she's not given us a hard time, she can do whatever she pleases," says Tenshi.

[Kilgamayan]

> Enter our room and gesture to Tenshi to follow us.

> How much experience do we have combing out long hair?

[Hello Purvis]

> Enter our room and gesture to Tenshi to follow us.

> How much experience do we have combing out long hair?

>You enter, and find things unchanged from last time.
>You have have a little, you've helped others with it before.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Close the door/screen/whatever behind us.
> "Okay, let me get a good look at you, so I can see what needs to be dealt with."
> Direct Tenshi to a standing spot several feet away from us and look her up and down. What else is amiss, aside from the hair and the split lip?

>Tenshi complies.
>Her clothes are dirty and a little torn, and have a couple of what you are certain are footprints around them. She has a few bruises and scrapes as well, nothing serious by the look of it. She is a bit dirty overall.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Is our washroom suited for use by another person?
> If so, are there any personal things we would want to remove from it first, for privacy reasons?
> Nod with a half-frown.
> "Okay. How's this for a floating plan. I'll go out and flag down someone that can tell me the availability status of those capable of treating the wounded, so they can take a look at your abrasions and split lip. You give yourself a quick wash and change your clothes afterward. Once you're changed, I'll comb out your hair so it looks nice again, and then we'll find someone to fancy up your injuries, as minor as they mostly appear to be."

>Your washroom is free of things that would cause embarrassment, you're too cleanliness oriented from that.
>"Oh don't worry about these," says Tenshi. "They're nothing big."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, all right, if you insist. Would you like me to fetch you a spare set of clothes instead, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, all right, if you insist. Would you like me to fetch you a spare set of clothes instead, then?"

>"Yeah, that'll help," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "All right. Use my washroom to clean yourself up, but please make sure it is tidy when you finish. I presume I can find a spare change of clothes for you in your guest room?"

>"Yeah, just look in the trunk," says Tenshi, as she heads for the washroom.
