Sakuya Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "Is there another Warlord threatening Apex?"

>"There aren't any threatening us," says Kanako.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "What other ones are there, then? Reimu only mentioned the one."

[Hello Purvis]

> "What other ones are there, then? Reimu only mentioned the one."

>"Gensokyo is not the only world out there," says Kanako, her voice faintly amused. "Sir Ector was merely expressing a wider perspective."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look a bit sheepish.
> "Ah. My apologies."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look a bit sheepish.
> "Ah. My apologies."

>"Hardly a thing to be sorry about, mishearing," says Sir Ector. "Think nothing of it."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well. Regardless, about this Warlord Teru, do we know her motives? It is strictly a desire to conquer and unite, or does she harbor some sort of grudge?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very well. Regardless, about this Warlord Teru, do we know her motives? It is strictly a desire to conquer and unite, or does she harbor some sort of grudge?"

>"I cannot say for sure," says Kanako, "But my understanding is that it is the former. However, I would not claim to be authoritative."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "And how far away is she? I heard she resides in some region name that was new to me and escapes me at the moment."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "And how far away is she? I heard she resides in some region name that was new to me and escapes me at the moment."

>"Haihan, I believe," says Kanako. "It is a few days away from the Gensokyo gateway."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "In which cardinal direction?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "In which cardinal direction?"

>"To the northwest, I believe," says Kanako.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm, I see."
> Frown.
> "If only I had the time...it would be interesting to investigate this person for myself."

[Monarda]

>"After all, time is my main issue, since i shouldn`t even be here."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm, I see."
> Frown.
> "If only I had the time...it would be interesting to investigate this person for myself."

>"I believe there are some faster ways to Haihan and back," says Kanako.
>"You shouldn't be picking fights though, 'Kuya," says Flandre.

>"After all, time is my main issue, since i shouldn`t even be here."

>"Good one," says Sir Ector with a nod.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look at Flan with a smile.
> "I assisted with solving a few incidents in my day, Young Mistress. Even if our house is gone, I am still loyal to it, and the land where it resided. Threats to that land are threats to my family and friends."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I assisted with solving a few incidents in my day, Young Mistress. Even if our house is gone, I am still loyal to it, and the land where it resided. Threats to that land are threats to my family and friends."

>"Well, I guess," says Flandre.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "But do not worry. I shall only take up defenses if necessary, unless the situation changes drastically."

[Hello Purvis]

> "But do not worry. I shall only take up defenses if necessary, unless the situation changes drastically."

>"Alright, if you say so," says Flandre.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back to Kanako and Sir Ector.
> "I believe that exhausts my immediate curiosities. Is there any advice you may have for someone like me, who has little-to-no idea what she is in for in a place like this?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Look back to Kanako and Sir Ector.
> "I believe that exhausts my immediate curiosities. Is there any advice you may have for someone like me, who has little-to-no idea what she is in for in a place like this?"

>"Don't be afraid to ask for help people for help," says Kanako.
>"That's what she's doing, if you ask me," says Sir Ector.
>Kanako sighs. "What I mean is, the best people to ask about a particular neighborhood are the people who live there. There's so many cultures that have blended together here that  it's difficult to give general advice. Unlike Gensokyo, fighting is frowned upon here, so try not to be too tetchy with others, even if they are frustrating."
>"And don't tell anyone that they're funny-looking," says Sir Ector. "Even if they are funny-looking. ...Especially if they are funny-looking."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Chuckle a bit.
> "Of course, of course. Though the lack of fighting is intriguing. Does this mean I should refrain from revenge on pickpockets?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Chuckle a bit.
> "Of course, of course. Though the lack of fighting is intriguing. Does this mean I should refrain from revenge on pickpockets?"

>"What kind of revenge?" says Kanako.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Merely retrieving my possessions, if I have my way. I do not expect a confrontation to go south, but I suppose it is possible."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Merely retrieving my possessions, if I have my way. I do not expect a confrontation to go south, but I suppose it is possible."

>"Then I see no difficulty," says Kanako.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Excellent. I do hope pickpocketing is not a common issue here, though, and that I was simply the victim of bad luck."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Excellent. I do hope pickpocketing is not a common issue here, though, and that I was simply the victim of bad luck."

>"It's not," says Kanako.
>"More than we'd like, mind," Sir Ector says, huffing through his mustache.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very good. And, ah, before I leave, is there anything I can do for the two of you? Bearing in mind that I do not know how long I will be here."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very good. And, ah, before I leave, is there anything I can do for the two of you? Bearing in mind that I do not know how long I will be here."

>Kanako shakes her head. "I appreciate the offer, but it isn't necessary. Thank you."
>"My page is too lazy by half as it is," says Sir Ector.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You are both quite welcome. Thank you both very much for your time."

[Hello Purvis]

> "You are both quite welcome. Thank you both very much for your time."

>"Think nothing of it," says Kanako. "It is my task to listen to the people."
>"A friend of Yasaka's is a friend of mine, far as I'm concerned," says Sir Ector.
