Hatate Quest Nelja

[Hello Purvis]

>"Not like we have anything better to do, if we're waiting for the others."

[Oldmansour]

>"Not like we have anything better to do, if we're waiting for the others."

>"Well, while I do specialize in hair styling, I would be willing to make the attempt."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, if you don't feel confident, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have my hair touched up."

[Oldmansour]

>"Well, if you don't feel confident, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have my hair touched up."

>"That is an area in which I claim much confidence."
>Celes comes to her feet. "If you don't mind, then, Hatate, I would like to explore the village a little bit. I would like to see how this one differs from the village in our world."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Okay. We'll have Ranka fetch you when the others get here."
>To Liluye: "So, are there any others?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Okay. We'll have Ranka fetch you when the others get here."
>To Liluye: "So, are there any others?"

>"Very well. Come along, friend." she says to her winged friend, and the two of them stand and depart.
>"Hh, only one that I know of. The present ruler of the Scarlet Devil Manor."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Wait, really? Remilia's stuck in here too?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Wait, really? Remilia's stuck in here too?"

>"No, Hatate. She of this world has been usurped by one from your world. Celes knew this man. She called him Greed."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Aha! That's where the dummy got off to!"

[Oldmansour]

>"Aha! That's where the dummy got off to!"

>Liluye nods. "Celes did not seem surprised. She said that he would have gone to a place of wealth and finery. Ahhh, he seems to have fit in here quite well."

[Hello Purvis]

>"What's he been up to?"

[Oldmansour]

>"What's he been up to?"

>"Reveling in the rewards of the book."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well good for him. I wonder if it would be a bad thing if we just left him here?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Well good for him. I wonder if it would be a bad thing if we just left him here?"

>"Celes did say that it would be bad for a woman named Tsumiko. The two of them are evidently incomplete without the other."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh well, guess we'll just have to whip his butt and drag him out."

[Oldmansour]

>"Oh well, guess we'll just have to whip his butt and drag him out."

>"Oh?" the gravel-voiced barber asks, a hint of amusement on her face. "So confidant a warrior, you are."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well. He's hiding in a big ole house, right? And he's got all his traps and goodies and stuff there, right?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Well. He's hiding in a big ole house, right? And he's got all his traps and goodies and stuff there, right?"

>"In essence, you are correct. And his servants, of course."

[Hello Purvis]

>"But they're all fake, right? So, best thing to do is just burn it down. It'll chase him out and get him out of his lair where he's got the advantage. Maybe break a lot of his stuff, too."

[Oldmansour]

>"But they're all fake, right? So, best thing to do is just burn it down. It'll chase him out and get him out of his lair where he's got the advantage. Maybe break a lot of his stuff, too."

>"Then, you have a plan for dealing with the other residents of the Mansion?" Liluye asks pointedly.

[Hello Purvis]

>"What's to deal with, they aren't even real."

[Oldmansour]

>"What's to deal with, they aren't even real."

>"Hh, to you, this is so, but not to all." the barber replies. "The magic of this book produces phantasms that are as powerful as they are in the minds of the people trapped herein. Though the Remilia Scarlet and her friends of this place are fabrications, they are every bit as capable of harming one as the Remilia Scarlet and her friends of our world."

[Hello Purvis]

>Shrug.
>"Okay, then we do it and don't get caught. Not like we don't have enough people to distract the gatekeeper and stuff. And once it's gone, there goes a lot of whatever home field advantage he'd have, because he'd be homeless."

[Oldmansour]

>Shrug.
>"Okay, then we do it and don't get caught. Not like we don't have enough people to distract the gatekeeper and stuff. And once it's gone, there goes a lot of whatever home field advantage he'd have, because he'd be homeless."

>The dark skinned woman merely smiles. "I am not sure you have thought your plan all the way through, friend."

[Hello Purvis]

"What's the problem? I've seen that mansion, it's a big ole wooden thing. Easy enough to start going."

[Oldmansour]

"What's the problem? I've seen that mansion, it's a big ole wooden thing. Easy enough to start going."

>"And then?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Then it burns down, we wait for the right time to hit him hard."

[Oldmansour]

>"Then it burns down, we wait for the right time to hit him hard."

>"And what of Meiling Hong? And Patchouli Knowledge? And Sakuya Izayoi? And Remilia Scarlet? And Flandre Scarlet?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"What about them? As long as we can get in, they can't stop it. Then we leave before they find us. Heck, we do this right, they won't have any idea who it was."

[Oldmansour]

>"What about them? As long as we can get in, they can't stop it. Then we leave before they find us. Heck, we do this right, they won't have any idea who it was."

>"And you believe you are a skilled enough arsonist to achieve this goal?"
