Reisen Quest Still: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Does he not have an actual pack?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Does he not have an actual pack?"

>Satori shakes her head. "He was run out. The pack leader didn't like him."

[Thaws]

>Sad face

>Rate Catness of Okuu

>"I guess we can take him back to Eientei..."

>"Oh I forgot to introduce, this is my master, Eirin Yagokoro".

[MysTeariousYukari]

>Sad face

>Rate Catness of Okuu

>"I guess we can take him back to Eientei..."

>"Oh I forgot to introduce, this is my master, Eirin Yagokoro".

> Lets replace "Master" with "Trusted Ally" or something similar that the wolf would be able to understand, while not revealing a Eirin > Reisen position sort of thing. Last thing we need is the wolf thinking we aren't who he thought we were, he could lose trust in us.

[Kilgamayan]

> We could use "sensei" or "shishou".

>The wolf returns, with the stick in tow. He sits in front of you, holding it.
>Why's he gotta be all instinctual about stuff?
>Okuu is 33/96 catness.
>"I suppose can try it, if we go along with Satori's plan," says Eirin. "But I do expect you to be contentious, Udonge."
>You introduce Eirin as your shishou. You don't think he really understand language, but no reason not to be careful. Satori approximates a curtsy to Eirin. Eirin nods back in turn. "Forgive me for not introducing myself," says Eirin, "It seemed rude to cut into the discussion you and Udonge were having."
>"It's no problem," Satori replies, waving a hand. "I tend to get a little excited about the subject and forget myself. Oh, since you're probably the medicine specialist, I should note that he probably has worms. Most wild animals do. But I checked him for ticks and mites, and he's clean."
>Eirin nods.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Tell the wolf that a shishou/shisho can mean that they are smart. While we are at it, lets tell the wolf that Eirin is also nice, and helps to keep up healthy.

I had to google search what shishou/shisho meant, purly for that comment xD

[Hello Purvis]

> Tell the wolf that a shishou/shisho can mean that they are smart. While we are at it, lets tell the wolf that Eirin is also nice, and helps to keep up healthy.

>You introduce Eirin to the wolf. He sits there with a mouthful of stick.

[Kilgamayan]

> Pick up first stick and chuck it for the wolf

[Hello Purvis]

> Pick up first stick and chuck it for the wolf

>You pick up the first stick and throw it. He dashes after it like a shot.
>After a moment, he trots back with two sticks in his mouth. wagging his tail.

> "Whats a good thing to say to him for something like this? I want to show that him running around makes me kinda happy, espcially if he is enjoying himself." Smile at the wolf while asking Satori and Eirin this.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Whats a good thing to say to him for something like this? I want to show that him running around makes me kinda happy, espcially if he is enjoying himself." Smile at the wolf while asking Satori and Eirin this.

>"That's probably a bit much to express," says Satori. "What he's mostly going to be listen to is your tone of voice. He understands that the sounds you're making have meaning, but he's not ready to really figure it out. It'll be awhile before he really starts to get even the basics. Sadly, it's really hard to get the expressions he can read correct without being able to read his mind. So just talk to him normally."

[E-Nazrin]

>"Thanks for everything you've done for him, Satori. But I fear that the biggest problem with bringing him to Eintei isn't just getting along with the rabbits, but that they'd try and pull pranks on him, like everyone else. I know it's too much to ask him to mellow out enough to take that in stride, but if anyone got seriously hurt for that..."
>cautiously and carefully pet the wolfie

>cautiously and carefully pet the wolfie

>"I think Her Highness and I can do something about that." says Eirin. "I don't think it should take much more than a word from us to get them to behave. I doubt few of them are brave enough to taunt a predator to begin with. As for the rest, they can be addressed."
>"And you're quite welcome," says Satori. "It's a pleasure to help this little puppy make himself known."
>You gently reach down and pet the wolf. He seems to accept it. You don't notice any trace a snarl or ear flattening or other obvious signs of irritation.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "I'm glad you and me can get along with each other, more friends, more comrades are always welcome with me " Thats to be said to the wolf.

[Hello Purvis]

> "I'm glad you and me can get along with each other, more friends, more comrades are always welcome with me " Thats to be said to the wolf.

>You're pretty sure he doesn't understand. But he's got a mouthful of sticks anyways, so he can't be too unhappy with life.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>tug on one of the sticks' ends, throw it for him if he lets go

[Hello Purvis]

>tug on one of the sticks' ends, throw it for him if he lets go

>He resists a little bit, then lets it go.
>You throw the stick; the wolf dashes after it.
>You're getting the feeling he could do this for hours.

[E-Nazrin]

>chuckle softly
>"Alright, I guess we should find out how this goes, then..."
>inventory
>if we still have oni manacles that should be returned, drop them off with the other oni before we go; we have a crystalline war trophy with less external sentimental value to hoard.

>You chuckle at lupine antics, and decide to give things a try. "We'll just have to take it cautiously," Eirin says.

> We're getting the feeling WE could do this for hours.

>You could think of a worse way to spend an afternoon.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>You could think of a worse way to spend an afternoon.

>But alone time with Eirin is not one of them.

>"Thanks again, Satori."
>wait for him to come back with the stick
>"Come to think of it, did he 'say' anything special about his old pack? Run-ins with the tengu, strange people, nearing youkaihood... anything like that?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Actually, I didn't ask him much about his past," says Satori. "I was more focused on civilizing him for you."
>The wolf returns, and sits in front of you.

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Oh well. I'm mostly being paranoid on that, I suppose. There's been another oddity or two around recently, so I thought I'd ask."
>bid farewell, head into the city to estimate if it'd be safe to bring our wolf friend into the crowd enough to drop off the manacles with those that would be most interested in them

[Hello Purvis]

>bid farewell, head into the city to estimate if it'd be safe to bring our wolf friend into the crowd enough to drop off the manacles with those that would be most interested in them

>Satori nods. "I understand. I don't think he's encountered anything really significant before you, in any event."
>You bid Satori farewell and leave the Palace of the Earth Spirits, the wolf following along. Looking at him as you go through the city, the wolf doesn't seem entirely pleased with the noise and the crowds, and apparently would be happiest just getting out of there.

[E-Nazrin]

>Let's be discrete then; head for the bar or the clinic, whichever would be quieter, to drop off the manacles
>if neither is a particularly good idea, see about just leaving a pile of them with a note or something

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's be discrete then; head for the bar or the clinic, whichever would be quieter, to drop off the manacles
>if neither is a particularly good idea, see about just leaving a pile of them with a note or something

>The clinic is most definitely more peaceful than the bar. The wolf seems to appreciate the quiet as well, looking less skittish as he sits down across from the clinic door and waits for you.
>"Oh hey," says Nazrin, looking up from changing a cot's pullover as you come in. "Forget something?"

>_

[E-Nazrin]

>"Of a sort."
>take out oni manacles to show to her
>"I brought these oni manacles back from the Eater's cave; since I don't need them as evidence of being there, now, I think they belong back with the oni. But I'd rather not get too caught up in the celebrations, for now - could I ask you to return them for me?"

>"Yeah, I can handle that," says Nazrin. "Just put them on that bed, there." She gestures toward an empty cot near the door.

[E-Nazrin]

>"Thanks, Nazrin."
>leave the manacles as requested
>head back up towards Eintei
>keep an eye out for muggerbuckets
