Sakuya Quest - A Z-Machine Adventure

> "That question was rhetorical."

[Hello Purvis]

> "That question was rhetorical."

>"Nu-uh!" says the faerie.
>"Is that a real word?" asks the sunflower faerie.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It must be real, I just said it. A word that is said can't not be real, otherwise it can't be said."

[Hello Purvis]

> "It must be real, I just said it. A word that is said can't not be real, otherwise it can't be said."

>"Real words have to mean things, thought," says the brown-haired faerie.
>"And you just made it up!" adds cat-ears.

[Kilgamayan]

> "A rhetorical question is a question where the asker already knows the answer."

[Hello Purvis]

> "A rhetorical question is a question where the asker already knows the answer."

>"That sounds like a mean thing to do to someone, don't you think?" says the sunflower faerie.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "If I thought it was mean, I would not have done it."

[Hello Purvis]

> "If I thought it was mean, I would not have done it."

>"Nu-uh, Name stealer!" the cat-eared faerie says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "And what reason do you have to disagree?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "And what reason do you have to disagree?"

>"Cos you're trying to steal our names!" says the cat-eared faerie.

>_

[Monarda]

>"No i`m not, i am happy with Sakuya being my name."

[Hello Purvis]

>"No i`m not, i am happy with Sakuya being my name."

>"Ha! Then you wouldn't be trying to steal ours!" says the faerie.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I am not trying to steal yours."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I am not trying to steal yours."

>"You're trying, you're just not succeeding!" the cat-eared faerie says with triumphant smirk.

>_

[Monarda]

Boy, i miss the fairy maids, these guys are just a nuisance.

>"How am i trying to do that ? In fact, i just want to know where am i exactly."

[Kilgamayan]

>"How am i trying to do that ? In fact, i just want to know where am i exactly."

> Don't say this, it puts us at a major advantage.

Please try to keep in mind who we are when talking to fairies. We mustn't disgrace the SDM name by showing any weaknesses.

> Are we above threatening fairies to convince them to submit to us?

[Hello Purvis]

> Don't say this, it puts them at a major advantage.
> Are we above threatening fairies to convince them to submit to us?

>You almost never need to threaten them, so more or less yes. Really, all you need to do is either turn this one's argument on it's head in a suitably impressive way, or just sidetrek it entirely in a way that will interest them.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Im obviously not trying to steal your name, as I have one already. I have even told you what it is. You, however, have not told anyone your name."
> Give this fairy a suspicious look.
> "If anyone, it is obviously you who is trying to steal names."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Im obviously not trying to steal your name, as I have one already. I have even told you what it is. You, however, have not told anyone your name."
> Give this fairy a suspicious look.
> "If anyone, it is obviously you who is trying to steal names."

>"How dare you!" the cat-eared faerie cries.
>The others look at her with alarm.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Gesture at the other fairies while still looking at the cat-eared fairy.
> "They all told you their names. Did you tell them your name? Or are you trying to steal their names as well as mine, Little Miss Cat Burgular?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Gesture at the other fairies while still looking at the cat-eared fairy.
> "They all told you their names. Did you tell them your name? Or are you trying to steal their names as well as mine, Little Miss Cat Burgular?"

>The other faeries gasp, while the cat-eared faerie visibly quivers, clenching her fists.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Cross our arms across our front.
> "And who first brought up the idea of stealing names? It seems awfully suspicious that you would bring it up out of nowhere."

[Hello Purvis]

> Cross our arms across our front.
> "And who first brought up the idea of stealing names? It seems awfully suspicious that you would bring it up out of nowhere."

>"You...you..." the faerie sputters through clenched teeth. Then she cries, "You're a butt!" and turns, flying away at top speed.
>"Hey, wait!" says the sunflower, faerie, as the other three give chase, leaving you alone.

[Monarda]

Well, are you some kind of psychologist or good with wrangling kids ? That`s a rather impressive out-of-the-book thinking, we`ll have to find the village on our own though.

>Fly up at look around once more.

[Kilgamayan]

I have a degree in faelosophy. ^_~

> Remove ourselves from time.
> If nothing feels awry, make our way toward the cat-eared fairy and beyond, positioning ourselves in her flight path several years ahead of her.
> Cross our arms across our front, Frown, and restore time.

[Hello Purvis]

>Fly up at look around once more.

>You are already flying. Looking around, you don't see anything else immediately different.

> Remove ourselves from time.
> If nothing feels awry, make our way toward the cat-eared fairy and beyond, positioning ourselves in her flight path several years ahead of her.
> Cross our arms across our front, Frown, and restore time.

>You step outside of time with no difficulty, and move ahead of the fleeing faeries, and restore time.
>They fly toward you for a moment, then come to a screeching halt as their recognize the new obstacle ahead of them.
>The cat-eared faerie looks over you, then looks back, then looks toward you again. "Your sister is a butt!" she says at last.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I do not have a sister. And I am not a butt, I am Sakuya."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I do not have a sister. And I am not a butt, I am Sakuya."

>"Prove it!" says the chubby faerie.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I may have a butt, but it is only one part of my body, which I am sure you can see."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I may have a butt, but it is only one part of my body, which I am sure you can see."

>"What about the rest?" says the chubby faerie. "I'm spectacle."
