Sakuya Quest - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm not sure. You seem to be content with playing with Elise and watching the grass."

>"More or less," says Meiling, as she kneels down to collect the stick and toss it again. "Not that I'm complaining about there being more than that."

>_

[Neovereign]

>"Well, I should still have plenty of time to spare."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, I should still have plenty of time to spare."

>"Anything else you have on your mind?" says Meiling.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Nothing in particular anymore. What about you?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Nothing in particular anymore. What about you?"

>"Me either," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is martial arts training for us permitted while Meiling is on the clock?

[Hello Purvis]

> Is martial arts training for us permitted while Meiling is on the clock?

>It is not. This has been ruled too much of a distraction.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What is Meiling permitted to do on the clock to pass the time, if anything?

[Hello Purvis]

> What is Meiling permitted to do on the clock to pass the time, if anything?

>Essentially, nothing that requires a particular amount of focus taken away from actually keeping watch on the surroundings. Reading has been deemed iffy, but allowable in small doses.

[Kilgamayan]

> Does Meiling have any indoor duties?
> Do we have any outdoor duties?

> Head through the gate threshold, if we have not already, and take up a position outside of it in line with Meiling, but on the opposite side of the center of the gate, as if a mirror imagine of where Meiling is.
> "Then a quiet, relaxing time outdoors it is."

> "Then a quiet, relaxing time outdoors it is."

>Not really, unless there's something heavy that needs moved, and the faeries can't be trusted to do it.
>You have to hang laundry, and sometimes clean windows. Once in awhile, the paint may need touched up.
>"I suppose it could be worse," she says. "I'd offer to get you my chair, but that'd look bad."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I understand. Has there been anything or anyone interesting out here lately?"

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Can we see the lake properly from here? If so, check lake for amount of fairy activity.

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "I understand. Has there been anything or anyone interesting out here lately?"

>"Well, I saw the mermaid doing something on the western bank earlier today," says Meiling. "Too far out to see what she was up to, though."

> Can we see the lake properly from here? If so, check lake for amount of fairy activity.

>There seem to be a couple faeries active around the lake, which is pretty low. You imagine it more will show up as the day progresses on.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Is that typical?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Is that typical?"

>"Hard to say," says Meiling. "As far as I can tell, she doesn't keep a schedule or anything. Guess she wouldn't need to, being underwater and all."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we do combat with the mermaid during the amanojaku incident?
> Is the lake our territory, to actively preside over?

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Can we see Cirno and/or Daiyousei? Or any of the big names that seem to hang around the lake, for that matter.

> Do we know of Makai?

> Do we know of any of Mistress' family, aside from the Young Mistress?

[Monarda]

>What about Patchouli's family ? Do we have knowledge on that matter ?
>What about Meiling's ?
>How did Meiling find our Mistress ?
>How long has Meiling been working for the Mistress ?

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we do combat with the mermaid during the amanojaku incident?
> Is the lake our territory, to actively preside over?

>Briefly.
>The lake is outside of the Mansion's direct control.  Remilia claims there is no point in seizing it. More likely she just doesn't want to deal with it being a gathering place for faeries.

> Can we see Cirno and/or Daiyousei? Or any of the big names that seem to hang around the lake, for that matter.

> Do we know of Makai?

> Do we know of any of Mistress' family, aside from the Young Mistress?

>No.
>You know of Makai, Koakuma hails from there.
>Mistress claims heritage from a great youkai and warlord of the western world. Patchouli has said this is rather unlikely, given Remilia's place of origin. You really have no reason to think Mistress is wrong, other than the claim is somewhat bombastic.

>What about Patchouli's family ? Do we have knowledge on that matter ?
>What about Meiling's ?
>How did Meiling find our Mistress ?
>How long has Meiling been working for the Mistress ?

>You have no idea about Patchouli's family, but you are reasonably certain she's not using her birth name. You do know she is of English-speaking decent, but that's about it.
>You know nothing of Meiling's past. You don't ask about her past, she does not ask about yours. This is what has been agreed.
>Meiling's been here for some time, likely longer than you've been alive.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> What did we do before we became Mistress' servant anyway?

[Hello Purvis]

> What did we do before we became Mistress' servant anyway?

>You were once another person. She is dead now. She has been mourned and honored, and you do not think about her anymore. At least when Rinnosuke shuts his yap.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> What was said dead person's name and relationship to Rinnosuke?
> Are we ashamed of said dead person?

Don't mind if the voice in your head prods a little too far, Sakuya.

[Hello Purvis]

> What was said dead person's name and relationship to Rinnosuke?
> Are we ashamed of said dead person?

>It is unlucky to ponder the dead too much.
>You'd rather not think about it.

>_

[Neovereign]

>Opinion of Rinnosuke?

[Hello Purvis]

>Opinion of Rinnosuke?

>it's changed over the years. For a long time, you thought of him as largely an affable, if kind of strange person a bit too obsessed with his business. Later events have shifted that opinion; he's dangerous and clearly disturbed, and you're happy he's getting help. You still try to visit him from time to time, but it's less social and more for his own good these days.

[Monarda]

Nobody truly dies, they always leave something behind, no matter how small, one day we will have to face that part of us again, and have to make peace with it.

>Is there some kind of project or plan to make the Young Mistress apt for going outside without causing issues ?
>How troublesome can the Young Mistress be ? And has she caused harm to someone ever since we started our life here ?
>How did our first time meeting her go ?

[Hello Purvis]

>Is there some kind of project or plan to make the Young Mistress apt for going outside without causing issues ?
>How troublesome can the Young Mistress be ? And has she caused harm to someone ever since we started our life here ?
>How did our first time meeting her go ?

>In the long term, not really. It's best for her to learn her own control. Until then, there's no rush. That said, she is usually allowed to join the rest of you on full household excursions; which are usually on holidays. She's behaved reasonably, the worst were some tantrums for being denied things.
>Normally, her troublesomeness doesn't come from breaking things so much as being a clever and sometimes willful. Once in awhile, there are small breakages.
>Your first meeting wasn't too bad, but you were fairly frightened of her reputation. Nothing untoward happened, she is just a weird, clever child who takes time to warm up to people.

wait what?
> Why was he dangerous and disturbed?
