Sword Quest VI - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> What time is it?
> Make our way over to a less asleep group.

>Early afternoon, you imagine.
>You approach a more active group, who are currently playing some kind of card game. "We're still closed," one of the rabbits says. "Unless you need the doctor?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shake head.
> "I am only here with a couple of minor curiosities, the first of which is how things have progressed since I was here last."

>"Reisen, Tewi, and the spider girl are giving 'em hell right now," says the speaker, as all the card players look at you curiously. "Been at it awhile, probably be at it another while."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Purse our lips.
> "Mmm, I see. I hope my suggestion does not cause too much long-lasting ill will among any parties involved."

[Hello Purvis]

> Purse our lips.
> "Mmm, I see. I hope my suggestion does not cause too much long-lasting ill will among any parties involved."

>"They gotta break sometime," says one of the rabbits.
>"If they want us cleaning the floors and cooking the food, anyways," another adds.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Anyway, my other curiosity is if a blue loop-haired woman has ventured this way recently."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Anyway, my other curiosity is if a blue loop-haired woman has ventured this way recently."

>"I don't think we've seen her today," says one of the rabbits.
>"Last week, maybe?" Another says with a shrug.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "She has been there before, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "She has been there before, then?"

>"Yeah, she visits sometimes," says the second rabbit.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Interesting. What does she do while here?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Interesting. What does she do while here?"

>"She talks with the princess," says the rabbit. "They play games."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I see. Unfortunate that she seems to be skilled at not leaving much to trail her by."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I see. Unfortunate that she seems to be skilled at not leaving much to trail her by."

>"I think she lives in the forest nowadays," says one of the rabbits. "I hear about her sometimes."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> !
> "Hmm! I don't suppose you are aware of what part of the forest?"

[Hello Purvis]

> !
> "Hmm! I don't suppose you are aware of what part of the forest?"

>"Well, I don't," says the rabbit with a shrug. "But maybe somewhere here does?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look around. How many others are awake?

[Hello Purvis]

> Look around. How many others are awake?

>There are at least several dozen rabbits here.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "May I assume I can only ask those gathered here?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "May I assume I can only ask those gathered here?"

>"If you find other people, I don't see why not?" says the rabbit.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I meant as opposed to those inside."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I meant as opposed to those inside."

>"Sorry, it's closed," says one of the rabbits in the group. The others nod.
>"Not that the princess or the doctor would know where she lives anyway, they don't leave much," another adds.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "If Seiga spent as much time with your Princess as you say, then it is possible she let slip some information about her next destination. But I will respect the current state of this house."
> Make to address the general rabbit population, though don't be too loud for fear of waking anyone that is sleeping.
> "Is there anyone here, then, that may know what part of the forest she has dwelled inrecently?"

>You attempt to address the whole group, and quickly find it isn't going to work as well as you'd hope. Some nearby rabbits look toward you curiously, you get a few shrugs. Others are either ignoring you or don't hear you at all. Or perhaps they have no idea what you're talking about, having not paid attention to you beforehand.

[Kilgamayan]

> Return our attention to the couple of rabbits that we have been speaking with and frown.
> "I suppose I did not think that all the way through."

[Hello Purvis]

> Return our attention to the couple of rabbits that we have been speaking with and frown.
> "I suppose I did not think that all the way through."

>"Yeah, just because we have big ears doesn't mean we hear everything," says one of the rabbits.
>"Just go circulate around and talk to people," says another.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well, if you do not believe I will be a bother in doing so."
> Make our way amongst the awake rabbits, asking each that did not previously shrug in response to our question if they know anything about where in the forest the 'blue loop-haired woman' currently resides.

>You begin questioning the the rabbits. This'll take awhile.
>ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD:  Youmu.
>You make your way toward the Sanzu river. As you pass over the fields of flowers that grow near the docks, Kotohime says, "I'm not supposed to be around here anymore. The body woman got mad."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "The 'body woman'? Do you mean Komachi?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "The 'body woman'? Do you mean Komachi?"

>"Yeah, that one," says  Kotohime.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "What happened between you two?"
