Iku Quest Edi'nayset: A Z-Machine Adventure.

[Hello Purvis]

> Does there appear to be anything unusual about it from the last time we were at it?
> Turn to Nitori.
> "Are you prepared?"

>Nothing seems to have changed.
>Nitori frowns. "Not really, but...I doubt I really ever would be. Let's get it over with."

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I am very thankful you are willing to do such an undesirable thing for me."
> Head to the part of the island where we actually met Remilia.

[Hello Purvis]

> "I am very thankful you are willing to do such an undesirable thing for me."
> Head to the part of the island where we actually met Remilia.

>"As long as it gets everything sorted out," says Nitori.
>You make your way back toward the town. As you you do, you see Remilia leaving one of the buildings, escorted by a faerie maid. She makes a gesture, and the maid returns to the building. "Your speed is commendable," says Remilia.

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile.
> "I thought that I should at least try to make up for previous delays. I will admit, I have been giving the situation some thinking, and I realized I have given you too little credit. I may have been operating under the knowledge of my own motives, but that does not justify the mistaken assumptions I have made about you. You are right in that it is not fair of me to demand you correctyour mistaken assumptions while I do nothing to correct mine."
> Give a short bow.
> "For this offense, I sincerely apologize."

[Suwako Moriya]

> "I thank you for this decision."
> Take out the note about Nitori and hand it to Remilia.
> "Here is a written piece, complete with signatures, to attest that what I have told you is true. As you can see, Nitori is here with me herself to confirm the validity of that testimony. There are less signatures than people about which I told you, but not everyone was at the house at the time."

>Remilia accepts the letter and reads it, her expression distinctly bored.
>"You attest to this?" she says, looking to Nitori.
>Nitori nods. "All of it."
>Remilia turns her look toward you. "So, you are saying that someone has made fools of both of us?"

[Suwako Moriya]

> "I suppose you could put it that way, though it was certainly not their intention. They did not even realize the islands would fall after having their shadows taken until after the deed was done."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I suppose you could put it that way, though it was certainly not their intention. They did not even realize the islands would fall after having their shadows taken until after the deed was done."

>Remilia regards you coolly for a moment. Then she says, "We feel that doesn't change the facts at all. Praytell, who was this little meddler?"

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "She is one who deigns to keep herself hidden above all else, sometimes even her own well-being. As I mentioned to you, and as Nitori herself can attest, the condition upon which Nitori's shadow was returned to her was that she would tell nothing about the identity of the perpetrator. Miraculously, the perpetrator has more or less accepted my presence, so if you desire, I will request a note of apology from her addressed to you regarding the misunderstandings resulting from her actions."

[Thata no Guykoro]

If Remilia expresses a desire to meet her in person, should we bring up that we could lose our own shadow due to breach of trust? :\

[Suwako Moriya]

The breach of trust would be far more egregious a problem than the shadow loss. If Remilia expresses a desire to meet Shuuei in person, I planned on telling her that Shuuei may very well rather die than actively choose to meet someone other than ourselves, but that we will ask her all the same if she is willing to do so.

[Shadoweh]

This is going to be tough. If I were Remillia I'd want to meet the shadow thief too. Iku protecting the person that brought down the islands looks suspicious. Remillia needs to think we're going to do everything in our power to convince Shuuei to meet her if she asks. That being said since Shuuei didn't attack her, I don't think there would be any danger in introducing them. Kilga did want her to mingle. Good luck convincing her though.

>"Or to summarize," says Remilia as she curls her index finger and looks toward the treeline. "It is fine for you to meet with this meddler, but we are permitted to learn nothing."
>She looks toward you, her expression neutral. "Is this right?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You may learn of and about her through written word if you so desire. We can designate a drop point on the surface for such correspondence, and she will be happy to send and receive letters. But she considers the possibility of meeting anyone, not just you, face-to-face completely out of the question. Truth be told, even meeting me is apparently a disgusting thing, but she says it has now happened so many times that she no longer resists it."

[Shadoweh]

> "If it were entirely my decision I would not hesitate to introduce her to your august personage."

>"We see," says Remilia. "Well, let us cut to meat of the matter. How, precisely, shall she be recompensing us for this embarrassment? Presuming, of course, this person exists and is responsible."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "What would you like?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "What would you like?"

>"We would like, to begin, some proof that this person exists and is responsible," says Remilia. "In a manner that does not require Us to take your word on faith."

>_

[Shadoweh]

> Examine all Pictures in Inventory

[Kilgamayan]

We have a picture of Shuuei unconscious and tied up, but I'm not showing that to anyone. Really, we should give it to her and have her dispose of it as she sees fit.

> Is the ground below the island forested?
> "You may talk to Suika Ibuki or Yukari Yakumo if you wish to hear further testimony to the fact that this person exists, as they have both conversed with her. And before you ask, the former caught her completely off guard and then got her drunk, and the latter never actually saw her. But the second part, responsibility, is the part I imagine you are more interested in anyway. Would a demonstration of a shadow being taken suffice?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Examine all Pictures in Inventory

>2 Pictures of Shadowless Tree
>Taken in the Forest of Magic.
> Picture of Sky and Shadowed Land
>A picture of the Brocken Spectre's shadow and the clear horizon
>Picture of Unconscious Poltergeist
>A Picture of the Brocken Spectre after you defeated her.
>Picture of the Shadow Dais.
>Taken within The Dragon's Chamber in the false Bhava-Agra.
>Picture of Makai Landscape with Goats
>Taken to show Yumeko how a Camera Works

[Thata no Guykoro]

>What did we do with the not-as-good picture of Petite's mom again?

[Kilgamayan]

> "Which is notably not a 'yes'. What would be better?"

[Hello Purvis]

>What did we do with the not-as-good picture of Petite's mom again?

>You gave them both to Petite.

> "Which is notably not a 'yes'. What would be better?"

>"We would have this person brought before us and explain herself," says Remilia. "From there, We would decided how best to address this situation."

>_

[Shadoweh]

> Frown.
> "I had thought you would say that. I will certainly broach the subject with her when we speak. For now, I believe I could convince her to give a demonstration of her shadow removing abilities. Will you allow this first so you can determine if it satisfies you?"

> "I had thought you would say that. I will certainly broach the subject with her when we speak. For now, I believe I could convince her to give a demonstration of her shadow removing abilities. Will you allow this first so you can determine if it satisfies you?"

>You frown, and Remilia raises an eyebrow.
>"We cannot imagine that being unable to see the culprit and deal with her personally would be satisfying," says Remilia. "Now, We are starting to wonder why you insist upon preventing this."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Because I swore to protect her privacy. I will present your request to her, but what happens next is her decision."

[Shadoweh]

I ask that you wait for Kilga to come around before we dig ourselves deeper into this hole. I would just be honest with her but I felt our bar take a hit when I presented the wrong statement :/

[Hello Purvis]

>"Because I swore to protect her privacy. I will present your request to her, but what happens next is her decision."

>"How intriguing," says Remilia. "Would we be remiss to consider this assailant a friend of yours?"
