> How many fairies are flying around the lake?
> Do we know if we have a reputation with wild fairies?

[Hello Purvis]

> How many fairies are flying around the lake?
> Do we know if we have a reputation with wild fairies?

>There's maybe four or five right now. Not many at all.
>You definitely do. This tends not to matter much when they get riled up during incidents, but in more peaceable times, there's a good chance any given faerie will at least know of you, even if they don't recognize you.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Is it a good or bad reputation?

[Hello Purvis]

> Is it a good or bad reputation?

>Both. It depends on the faerie and what they have heard, and can remember. And what their imaginations conjure up.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is Meiling aware of our affinity for fairies?

[Hello Purvis]

> Is Meiling aware of our affinity for fairies?

>She is. Everyone in the manor is aware of your talents with with.

[Monarda]

>How well does Meiling herself fare with fairies ?

[Hello Purvis]

>How well does Meiling herself fare with fairies ?

>Meiling is kind enough to them, as long as they aren't trying to force their way in, but she has a hard time keeping up with them. You wouldn't want her to direct them cleaning a room, she'd lose control of them shortly.

[Monarda]

>"Hmm, still, it`s not that i can just dive in there to search for her, patience will have to suffice."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Unless the fairies can give me any information, anyway."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm, still, it`s not that i can just dive in there to search for her, patience will have to suffice."

>Meiling nods.

> "Unless the fairies can give me any information, anyway."

>"Hm, true," says Meiling.

[Kilgamayan]

> What would the mermaid being a vassal of the Scarlet Devil Mansion entail (if you'll pardon the pun)? What benefits would it provide her?

> "Hmm. Let me see what they know about her."
> Take flight and head to the fairies at the lake.

[Hello Purvis]

> What would the mermaid being a vassal of the Scarlet Devil Mansion entail (if you'll pardon the pun)? What benefits would it provide her?

> "Hmm. Let me see what they know about her."
> Take flight and head to the fairies at the lake.

>The most notable one is that she would benefit from the mansion's protection, or at least anyone who messed with her would afterwards benefit from the mansion's retaliation.
>"Good luck!" says Meiling, as you take to the air.
>Flying over the lake, you see there are five faeries that are out in the open. Two of them seem to be playing some kind of game involving a handful of rocks on the lake shore. Three others are engaged in what seems to be a game of tag.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we recognize any of them?

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we recognize any of them?

>No.

>_

[Monarda]

>Examine the Fairies, how tall are they ? How are they dressed ?

Should we approach them now, or do you have some other idea ?

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we in a position of sufficient authority that we could propose to the mermaid that she become a vassal? Or does that require Mistress' signature?

> Make our way over to the two playing rock games.

[Hello Purvis]

>Examine the Fairies, how tall are they ? How are they dressed ?

>Most of them are about the size of human children, save for one playing with rocks, who is about half that size. They seem to be wearing sundresses; one of the tag players has a matching hat.

> Are we in a position of sufficient authority that we could propose to the mermaid that she become a vassal? Or does that require Mistress' signature?

> Make our way over to the two playing rock games.

>You can't propose anything binding, but you could bring up the idea, then run it past Mistress for approval.
>You approach the faeries on the lakeshore. The taller one, a redhead in a yellow dress, notices you coming and cries out. The smaller one looks at you with alarm. It seems they recognize you, and have concluded the worst? Or perhaps the are just cautious in general?

[Kilgamayan]

> What is the proper way to deal with terrified fairies?

[Hello Purvis]

> What is the proper way to deal with terrified fairies?

>Sometimes you can distract them out of being terrified, if you can figure out what is on their mind at the moment. Other times, it's best to reassure them. With some maids, they can be terrified out of being terrified by something else (generally yourself), but you don't know how well this would work on wild faeries to your advantage.

[Kilgamayan]

> Take on a calm tone of voice.
> "Good morning. Do not be afraid, I am only here to ask some questions."

[Hello Purvis]

> Take on a calm tone of voice.
> "Good morning. Do not be afraid, I am only here to ask some questions."

>The smaller faerie dives behind the larger one. The larger one seems about ready to dive into the lake to get away.
>"Y-yeah?" says the smaller faerie.

[Kilgamayan]

> "What can you tell me about the mermaid in this lake?"

[Monarda]

>Inventory

It`s kinda annoying to write and realize you have to erase everything since it was already posted. :/

[Kilgamayan]

git gud

(For what is worth, I'm going to be too distracted to post very much for the next few hours.)

[Hello Purvis]

> "What can you tell me about the mermaid in this lake?"

>"Uh. She's a mermaid."
>The larger faerie nods.

>Inventory

>Your Inventory contains
>Maid Headband:
>A statement of your career, pleasantly frilly.
>Uniform
>It reveals a daring amount of leg, but sometimes one must be daring.
>Silver Knife x20
>Kept in your skirt pockets, and a few hidden in comfortable spots in and under your clothing. These are the basis of your danmaku. When adventuring, you tend to keep quite a few more.
>Pocketwatch
>A focus of your time manipulation. You treasure it greatly, though you don't need it anymore.
>40☼
>This is 40☼

[Monarda]

But my internet is a tad slow. ;-;

>"Well... maybe something other than that ? Does someone come here to talk to her ?"
>We don`t have that Black Knife-holding Strap on our leg, do we ? It might cause them to be a little startled.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well... maybe something other than that ? Does someone come here to talk to her ?"
>We don`t have that Black Knife-holding Strap on our leg, do we ? It might cause them to be a little startled.

>"There's a wolf lady!" says the larger faerie.
>You do not. That is for when you are on the job and need some extra knives onhand.

[Serela]

>"Hmm, I see. Thank you. Do you know where the mermaid is now?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm, I see. Thank you. Do you know where the mermaid is now?"

>"In the lake," says the smaller faerie.
