Sakuya Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure
« on: April 22, 2016, 01:58:34 AM »

>You are Sakuya Izayoi, Accidental Chrononaut!
>After having a normal morning, an explosion at the mansion lead to you having some kind of accident while trying to freeze time and blacking out. You awoke in a strange forest, and after exploring and bickering with some faeries, eventually found a river, and then some fisherwomen. From there, you sent to their town, a little farming hamlet called True Glorian, and after a faux paus on your part, met with their leader, one Sir Kay of the Round Table. Sir Kay handled some of your questions, helping you figure out that you were in someplace still called Gensokyo. Following his advice, you went northward, over a sizable forest, and found an equally sizable town, larger than any you had seen before. From there, you went eastward after inquiring with a local youkai and found the Hakurei Shrine, and Reimu.
>You learned that you have awoken centuries into the future. Reimu has become a goddess, Scarlet Devil Mansion is gone, and the world has changed greatly, According to Reimu, there is a surviving member of the Mansion at the Myouren Temple, which seems to have been renamed the Hijiri Temple. After inquiring about things such as who is still around, and what had happened in the world, you decided to try to learn what you could, then find a way home. You have obtained a blessing from your old friend-turned-goddess, and her invitation to return whenever you need to.

> "It is much appreciated, Reimu. Thank you. Truly. Farewell, all of you."
> Leave the Shrine, take flight, and head toward where the Human Village should be.

>"I'd have to be an awful person to throw you out into the cold, after all," says Reimu. "Fare well!"
>"Good luck!" Minoriko says.
>"Let us know if you need anything!" The shrine maiden says, waving.
>You take to the air, and fly back toward the human village; or Old Hometown, you suppose. It stretches ahead of you, perhaps a dozen times larger much less sleepy than what you remember in your era.

>Not at a glance from here, at least. Frankly, everything is so unfamiliar you might miss it even if you looked right at it. If it's anything like you remember, it wouldn't stand out much among all the buildings here.

Hrm, that's a good point.  Actually, though

>Before we do that, are there any other people in flight around the city, and if so, are they landing anywhere specific?

>There's a number of little parks in this part of the town, and some small squares to the east, such as the one that you met Mira.

> Might as well just fly ourselves all the way to the closest edge of the...town? Would it qualify as a city now? And land there, making our way in proper on foot.

>You don't know, you have no experience with cities. At least not until now. You suppose you could do so, though the closest edge would either be at the edge of the forest or to the south a bit.

>Before we do that, are there any other people in flight around the city, and if so, are they landing anywhere specific?

>There doesn't seem to be anyone flying over the town here. Perhaps there are in other parts, a bit too distant to really see. You do note someone flying along the streets below, about ten or so feet off th eground.

>You make your way down toward the person flying along the street.
>You quickly pick out that she is a youkai. After first you almost have to wonder if she is looking up at you, for it seems there is a face on the back of her head. But you quickly determine that it is an elaborately woven ribbon made to look like two lips; with lace as it teeth and the end of the ribbon sticking out as a tongue. That aside, she wears a faded black dress with lace trim along the bottom. She seems to be carrying a bucket in each hand.

>You make your way toward the middle of the town. The buildings here are more like you saw when you first came; a mix of house rows, small buildings, and the occasional largish manor. The streets here are more crowded with people, and with carts and draft animals. There are also more people flying around too and fro. The noise is louder, but doesn't echo quite so much as it did to the east; Mira called that eastern section the Heights, you think?

>You make your way northward. The larger buildings become more scarce here, and housing rows are more common. Many of them have little courtyards between them, some kept meticulously clean, others littered with toys and other clutter, others apparently disused. Many of them have some people coming and going. There are still some larger buildings, but they are less common. The foot traffic is a bit lighter, especially as you get closer to the edge of town. Beyond town, there are more farms stretching out for some distance.

> Closest street.

>You land on a nearby street. There is a fair amount of foot traffic here; men and women coming from and going toward the center of town. Many of them carry bundles of goods, bags of this and that, baskets of foodstuffs and other things. The babble of the crowd is generally good-natured, but you note an argument up the street, at an intersection, where two cart drivers seem to be at an impasse over which one of them needs to move, and are being quite vocal on their thoughts about that. Some leans against an alleyway wall between two housing rows, idly watching the streets.
>A lot of the crowd seems to be human, at least at first glance. But as you look around, you note small things that distinguish many of them as something else; a bit of scales here, odd-looking ears there. Some are like Rinnosuke, with unusually colored eyes. But you can see what Reimu meant, quite a bit of the populous here is visibly not entirely human. Among them are some full youkai as well.

>You head toward the alleyway. The person there is a shortish, slender woman wearing a brown hood and short skirt. You note a pair of black cat-like tails extending from the dress. For a moment you wonder, but she's the wrong build to be Chen. She glances over toward you, her eyes bright blue and her hair also black, and starts a bit. Then the nekomata gives a wide smile. "Hiya!"
