Sword Quest III - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "Then I will do this. I believe Reimu may know where they are, so I will consult her first."

>"That's likely not a bad idea," says Yuyuko. "Oh, don't forget to ask her about the play!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile.
> "That is part of the reason I plan to visit her, yes. Ah, that reminds me. The first person I asked about the play who showed interest wanted to know what it was going to be about. What should I tell people who ask?"

>"Oh, that's a difficult question," says Yuyuko, frowning slightly. She looks upward and taps a finger on her chin. "Humm... let's say it's about the ordinary daily lives of people who aren't ordinary at all. Then the days stop being ordinary."

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod.
> "I can relay this. I assume I can also tell people that we will not be asking them to do anything dangerous or vulgar."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "I can relay this. I assume I can also tell people that we will not be asking them to do anything dangerous or vulgar."

>"Oh, of course not," she says. "Well, I suppose some people might be offended by palindromes..."

> How's Yoshika doing?
> Does she still have that talisman on her face?

[Hello Purvis]

> How's Yoshika doing?
> Does she still have that talisman on her face?

>If she minds being used as a chair, it doesn't show. In fact, given that Yuyuko has been feeding her, she seems fairly happy with the whole situation.
>She does still have her talisman in place.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "I am sure that won't be a problem."
> Gesture toward Yoshika.
> "Should we deal with her now, then? Or are you content where you sit for the time being?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I am sure that won't be a problem."
> Gesture toward Yoshika.
> "Should we deal with her now, then? Or are you content where you sit for the time being?"

>"I'm in no hurry," says Yuyuko, "But I suppose one of us should tend to your guests."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "We can certainly both do so. I just want to be sure this is taken care of."
> Frown.
> "I am not pleased with how we have been treated."

> "I am not pleased with how we have been treated."

>"Hm?" says Yuyuko.

[Kilgamayan]

> "By Seiga, I mean."

[Hello Purvis]

> "By Seiga, I mean."

>"Oh, well, I'm just a little miffed about that, myself," says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Right. Oh!"
> Look slightly horrified.
> "Oh, no! I did not mean to imply that I though our guests had been treated poorly. I am terribly sorry."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look slightly horrified.
> "Oh, no! I did not mean to imply that I though our guests had been treated poorly. I am terribly sorry."

>Yuyuko chuckles. "Don't worry. So, what should we do with your dead friend here?"
>"More cheeeeerries?" Yoshika says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we within Yoshika's line of vision?

[Hello Purvis]

> Are we within Yoshika's line of vision?

>Yes.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is there anywhere in Hakugyokurou suitable for locking someone away?

[Hello Purvis]

> Is there anywhere in Hakugyokurou suitable for locking someone away?

>Not really. There isn't a need for prisons here, as practically all of the residents have been judged. There are a few storage rooms, but you aren't sure how escape proof those are, they certainly aren't designed to be.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>How much do we know of Yoshika's ability to eat anything?

[Hello Purvis]

>How much do we know of Yoshika's ability to eat anything?

>You don't know the details, but you do know that a jiang-shi will devour pretty much anything they can get into their mouth.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Does Yoshika appear to be breathing?

[Hello Purvis]

> Does Yoshika appear to be breathing?

>You can't tell for sure, but it doesn't seem like it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, we do not exactly have dedicated prisons here. Maybe we could ask a favor of Yukari-sama and have her stored away until Seiga resurfaces?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Well, we do not exactly have dedicated prisons here. Maybe we could ask a favor of Yukari-sama and have her stored away until Seiga resurfaces?"

>"Mmmm, that might not be a bad idea," says Yuyuko.
>"That sooooounds mean," Yoshika says, before Yuyuko dangles another cherry in front of her.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Shall I make the request of her, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Shall I make the request of her, then?"

>"Certainly," says Yuyuko. "I'm sure she'll be at the shrine."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "All right. I shall leave at once, unless you wish me to do something else first."

[Hello Purvis]

> "All right. I shall leave at once, unless you wish me to do something else first."

>"I think I have things covered here," she says. "Have fun!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give Yuyuko a bow.
> "By your leave."
> Head back Gensokyo-ward, aiming for the Hakurei Shrine. We should run as far as the top of the stairs and then fly the rest of the way.
