Sword Quest II - A Z-Machine Adventure
« on: October 21, 2014, 06:40:33 PM »

>You are Youmu Konpaku, Hakugyokurou?s finest half-ghost!
>Yours is a life at once placid and harried. On one hand, few places are really as peaceful as Hakugyokorou, and it is very easy to take life at your own pace. On the other hand, you are also the retainer of Lady Saigyouji, which can be quite hectic sometimes. While you would never say she is a cruel or unfair master, there are times when she can ask a lot from you. Or when her guests can be a royal pain. As well, you can sometimes have your hands full dealing with Hakugyokurou itself; being an estate the size of a city, sometimes it is difficult to organize proper maintenance.Still, you wouldn?t trade it for anything.
>You are a student of the Konpaku School of swordplay; presently the only one that you know of. When you can find the time, and have the energy, you focus on perfecting your art and pushing yourself further and further into it. Yuyuko sometimes jokes that you are a bit obsessed, but you feel that it is something you must do. And you?re not that obsessed... You also take a lot of joy in gardening, and you would like to think that Hakugyokurou is that much brighter for your devotion to it.
>As a half-ghost, you are privileged to have one foot within the netherworld, so to speak. While most people see ghosts as simple white blobs, you can see them as the people they are, and communicate with them. You have a tendency to favor uncomplicated answers to problems, and this sometimes leads you to be impatient. You?re trying to learn from that, though! You do sometimes have a tendency to get lost with regards to complicated things; particularly if Yuyuko herself happens to be involved. She can talk circles around you when she feels like it. As much as you hate to admit it, she is frequently right whenever the two of you disagree, so you try to have faith in her.
>You have been asked by Yuyuko to find a group of five people to act in a play she has written: One who is very tall, one who is medium-sized with red hair, one who does NOT have black hair,  one who is in really good shape, and one who is Reimu. This lead you to Gensokyo, where you encountered a reclusive by the name of Meira, who claimed to have descended from the hereditary rulers of this land. You appraised some swords for her and received a little money for it before continuing on your way to the human village. There, you managed to convince Byakuren to consider joining the play, and were quickly roped into hunting a missing satori by the name of Koishi. With a bit of diligence and luck, you were able to track her down despite her tricks, and managed to make contact with her! In the process, however, you found that the aura of death clings strongly to her. Now she is speaking with you.

> "She is also very close with Yukari Yakumo-sama, whom I suppose might also be able to help. I cannot promise anything in that regard, though."

>"Oh, then I definitely don't want to get mixed up with her," says Koishi. "Yukari definitely hates my guts!"

>You've heard her drop a couple barbs with relation to this or that while she has gossiped with Yuyuko, but she places her cards close enough to her vest you have no idea how genuine those barbs are, or how deeply they reflect her true feelings if they are genuine.
