Sakuya's Quest ~ Sakuya's Bizarre Adventure

[Yonowaaru]

>"No, I am quite human. Let's just say I am special and leave it at that."
>How well known is our time bastardry?
>Complete the meal. How is Layla doing?

>"Oh...". Mokou seems disappointed..
>You try to keep the secret in bounds, but since Aya discovered it, it's common knowledge. But since Mokou has always been living in the Forest, she wouldn't know..
>You finish your meal. The main course is fried sparrow.. It couldn't be..?
>Layla seems to be taking it easy. It looks like she's used to these kinds of antics.
>Your stamina has risen to 85 %.

[Hello Purvis]

>"I presume it is not typically so peaceful around here?"
>Ponder what sort of after dinner entertainment she mind have planned, based on what we've seen around the house.

[Aba Matindesu!]

> Stop time and ask if the poison wears off eventually and reveals that the wine might taste good.
> Resume time and pop in breath mints if Layla has any on the table. You could use the extra sugar.
> During whatever show or tour Layla has planned, casually ask for hints as to where Remilia might have been, in case Layla has seen her.

[Hello Purvis]

Is there a need to stop time to ask that? It's not as though it's a big secret now.

Also, it's better to write actual dialogue when asking things. Makes things more interesting to read and to parse.

[Yonowaaru]

>"I presume it is not typically so peaceful around here?"
>Ponder what sort of after dinner entertainment she mind have planned, based on what we've seen around the house.

>"It depends on what you find peaceful. Ghosts aren't very peaceful by nature, but it's relatively busy in spring."
>You haven't really explored the house much. There's the stage over yonder in the garden, though.
>"It will wear off eventually, if you have ghostlike patience."
>You nip one of the breath mints. Your stamina is now 85.5 %
>"Remilia? Is that your mistress' name? What's she like?"

[ふとくていなねこじょおう]

> "Well, to begin with, she is a vampire. She's very active during the night."
> Elaborate in detail about your beloved Ojou-sama's charismatic greatness.

[Yonowaaru]

> "Well, to begin with, she is a vampire. She's very active during the night."
> Elaborate in detail about your beloved Ojou-sama's charismatic greatness.

>"Oh, that sounds nice! Continue!"
>She seems genuinely interested... It's kinda creepy..
>You talk a lot about your beloved Ojou-sama and her charismatic greatness, whatever that means.
>Layla asks:"So, your mistress likes poisoned beverages too? Might you have anything to trade for it?"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Poisoned... beverages? Not quite, she enjoys red wine"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Though, I have brewed her some questionable teas in the past on her request..."

[Yonowaaru]

>"Poisoned... beverages? Not quite, she enjoys red wine"

>"Though, I have brewed her some questionable teas in the past on her request..."

>"Well, a poisoned wine should be a new experience, then.. Where is she, anyways? I'd love to meet her!"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"You haven't see her? Oh, well..."

[Yonowaaru]

>"You haven't see her? Oh, well..."

>"Should I have? Were you looking for her?"
>Mokou suddenly joins in:"Were you? I thought we were going to beat up Yuyuko because of all the ghosts in the village.. Can you tell me what's going on?"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"As long as both of you promise that what I tell shall remain a secret"

[Yonowaaru]

>"As long as both of you promise that what I tell shall remain a secret"

>"Well then, I think I can agree with that." Layla says
>Mokou nods.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"I'm searching for Mistress.... She went off without telling me where and I'm worried sick... I wouldn't want this information to get to be known by too many people"

[Yonowaaru]

>"I'm searching for Mistress.... She went off without telling me where and I'm worried sick... I wouldn't want this information to get to be known by too many people"

>"Oh.. That's too bad. But.. you were planning to attack Yuyuko?" Layla says, very slowly. She looks irritated.
>Mokou says:"Yeah, that was kind of the whole reason we went here. I guess Sakuya-san was looking for Remilia too..."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"I was. Spirits attacked the human village, it seemed probable that Yuyuko might be up to something yet again. I was hoping Remilia-ojou-sama went after her perhaps..."

[Yonowaaru]

>"I was. Spirits attacked the human village, it seemed probable that Yuyuko might be up to something yet again. I was hoping Remilia-ojou-sama went after her perhaps..."

>"Say that ONCE AGAIN and I will..!" Layla says. She's angry now!

[Hello Purvis]

>"Then may I ask your thoughts on this quandary?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"Then may I ask your thoughts on this quandary?"

>"It would certainly not be acceptable of you to just go barging in in Hakugyokurou and beating up poor Miss Yuyuko just because some spirits have attacked a village, now would it? Fortunately for you, I could arrange an audience." Layla says

[Hello Purvis]

>"I would say it would be very acceptable to do so, given she has clearly failed at her task of keeping the spirits under control and they have become a problem. But, an audience will do."

[Yonowaaru]

>"I would say it would be very acceptable to do so, given she has clearly failed at her task of keeping the spirits under control and they have become a problem. But, an audience will do."

>"She's not the only one who controls ghosts..." Layla says
(Is it just me or is this reminding me of something..?)
>"Anyways, it's getting late for you, I guess. Sleep as much as you need to, though be wary of my sisters... They tend to randomly show up in the guest rooms.. Don't say I didn't warn you..."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Inform them to be wary of us, as well."
>Back to the rooms.Give them a quick investigation for other "surprises" and "tests" akin to the poison in the wine.

[Yonowaaru]

>"Inform them to be wary of us, as well."
>Back to the rooms.Give them a quick investigation for other "surprises" and "tests" akin to the poison in the wine.

>"I'll be sure to do that."
>You go to the room, to find... nothing's changed... Well, even though ghosts are immune to timefreezing shenanigans, they aren't able to stop time themselves.. Are they?
>Mokou follows you, and says:"Well, I'm actually kinda tired now... Let's try to get some sleep and store our power for the morrow.".
>She yawns.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Alright. Do be ready to burn someone upon waking and hearing odd noises."
>Go through pre-sleep preparations, in private in necessary, then get some shut eye.

[Yonowaaru]

>"Alright. Do be ready to burn someone upon waking and hearing odd noises."
>Go through pre-sleep preparations, in private in necessary, then get some shut eye.

>"Sure thing!" Mokou says
>You get into your sleeping gown. Mokou doesn't seem to have one, so you lend her one
>You get into bed and quickly fall asleep.


>Suddenly, you hear a loud trumpet and people laughing!
>"Ah, we have some guests, don't we? The dog of the devil and her fiery friend?"
>You recognize the voice as Merlin's.

[Hello Purvis]

>Throw a knife in the voice's direction.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>throw a voice in the knifes direction
>Calm yourself. We dont want more trouble then needed.

[Yonowaaru]

>Throw a knife in the voice's direction.

>throw a voice in the knifes direction
>Calm yourself. We dont want more trouble then needed.

>You shout in the knife's direction, which is your pocket.
>No one ever died from a single knife, did they? Well, unless they are human, of course...
>You throw a knife in the voice's direction. It's followed by a loud "WOAH!"

[Aba Matindesu!]

> "Hey there, null-pointer."
> Rouse Mokou.
> "Hey, it's Kaguya! She's talking about how much of a hobo you are!"
