Kisume Quest VI - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "She's fine. I knocked out a doctor and two guards and pissed off three more doctor in a surgery room, or something. The room with my friend."

>"Oh, so you disrupted their research?" says Yumemi, "Good!"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah. If you're feeling mean when you go that way, Sombraluz is in 3A. Big ol' bandage on his head."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Yeah. If you're feeling mean when you go that way, Sombraluz is in 3A. Big ol' bandage on his head."

>"I'll keep that in mind," says Yumemi. "Once we get in, I'll send Chiyuri to gather your things. Is there anything else?"

[Kilgamayan]

[O4rfish]

>We're on the third-highest floor, but do we know which floor that is? The seventh perhaps?
>We have violet-level clearance, so maybe we need Ultraviolet to get up?
>Have we seen any people wearing white clothing?

> "We're hiding in a sitting room."

>"I meant the nature of the floor in general," says Yumemi.

>We're on the third-highest floor, but do we know which floor that is? The seventh perhaps?
>We have violet-level clearance, so maybe we need Ultraviolet to get up?
>Have we seen any people wearing white clothing?

>You are much higher than the seventh floor.
>What's an ultraviolet?
>You have in the medical bay, and a few random people earlier toward. Chiyuri favors white as well.

>"That doesn't sound much like the lower levels," says Yumemi. "Perhaps you've found his personal area? Ah, hmm...perhaps that would be higher, and these are the places used to for functions of state designed to impress? Mmm, yes, perhaps... Ah, you should turn off the radio and count to ten now."

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we actually have to do anything to turn off the device?

[Yaersulf]

There was one button for turning the device on/off and one for input if I remember correctly.
>"Uhhh, ok".
>Press the off button on the device.
>Count to ten.

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we actually have to do anything to turn off the device?

>You do have an off button.

>"Uhhh, ok".
>Press the off button on the device.
>Count to ten.

>You turn the device off and begin to count to ten silently.
>"What did they have to say?" says Ruukoto as you get to five. Before you can start to answer, you hear a low, deep noise somewhere below you.  It reminds you of the sound you heard some time ago, when a distillery in the Ancient City caught fire.

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a small smirk.
> Point down at the floor.
> "That."

[Hello Purvis]

> Give a small smirk.
> Point down at the floor.
> "That."

>"Oh, I see," says Ruukoto. "Well, that should keep things busy!"

[Kilgamayan]

> "I assume they can defend themselves?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I assume they can defend themselves?"

>"Oh, they should be fine," says Ruukoto, "The Professor has a lot of tricks up her sleeve!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Good."

> "Sound like you're having fun."
> Press.

[Hello Purvis]

>"I would say there is a certain joy to be found in this," Yumemi replies, over the sound of running footsteps. "So! Anything else you want from us right now?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Press.
> "Just don't do that to my friend or my stuff."
> Press.

[Hello Purvis]

>"We have no plans of it," says Yumemi, over continued hurried footsteps.

[Kilgamayan]

> Press.
> "'Kay. Breaking off, unless you have a way to fix getting shot."

[Hello Purvis]

> Press.
> "'Kay. Breaking off, unless you have a way to fix getting shot."

>"...You've been shot?" Yumemi says. "You're taking it remarkably well, if so!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Press.
> "Yeah, in the right shoulder."
> Press.

[Hello Purvis]

> Press.
> "Yeah, in the right shoulder."
> Press.

>"I'm surprised you even have much of a shoulder left, then!" says Yumemi.  "Have you been able to stop the bleeding?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Take a look at our right shoulder.

[Hello Purvis]

> Take a look at our right shoulder.

>You have a look at your right shoulder. Your shirt has some blood stains on it, but they aren't what you'd expect of a life-threatening wound. The fabric is a bit lacerated about the wound; which appears to be two smallish holes that are just painful to look at. Really, you don't think there's anything life-threatening about this at all. Even a human could shrug it off. In fact, you don't even know why it hurt so much to start with!

>Press.
>"S'not really that bad. I ain't seein' much blood. 'sides what got on the outfit from when it did happen. I'm guessin' I'm more durable than you folks due to bein' what I am."
>Press.

>Aren't Youkai and the like, ourself included, rather resilient to things like this?
>We should look under the outfit though, just to be on the safe side.

>"Perhaps so," says Yumemi.
>Youkai are generally better able to walk away from physical damage than humans are, and tend to recover from it more quickly, though it still takes time usually. Of course, humans tend not to have to worry about seals and general demonstrations of faith being turned against them.
>You peek under the the collar of your shirt and  see there is nothing else alarming. Just the two holes, which look rather like you got jabbed with a pair of sharpened chopsticks.

>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Press.
>"Yeah, just looks like I got shanked with a pair of sharpened chopsticks. Nothing big really, gimme a while and it'll probably be good as new."
>Press.

>Can we crane our neck back far enough to see the other side of our injured shoulder?
