Nameless quest of the Nameless one!

[COPIRIGHTO]

>Do we still have the orb?

[Spidere]

>Stand there for a moment, and gather senses; as such they are.
>"What?"

> You blink meekly for a few moments. Then get your bearings. You're almost there.

> Suddenly the strange rift you fell through opens in front of you!
> "Just head southward. You'll find a kitsune waiting for you. Hurry up, I don't have all day."
> "Erm...OK...."
> The rift quickly closes, and you're left stunned. Well. Better get moving.

>Do we still have the orb?

Check previous post.

[Serela]

>Damn gap hag.
>Start heading southward.

[Hello Purvis]

>Mutter, "I don't wanna go south! Make south come here instead. It's way better here then stupid old south..."

[Spidere]

>Damn gap hag.
>Start heading southward.

> You feel sort of mad, but why be mad at Yukari? She didn't do anything...

> You start to head south.

>Mutter, "I don't wanna go south! Make south come here instead. It's way better here then stupid old south..."

> Nothing happens.


> You are now at the edge of Gensokyo. You see a woman with many fox tails flying towards you.
> "Are you Aurica?"
> "Erm...Yes?"
> "Good! Could you come with me please? Yukari needs to see you. She's usually sleeping this time of day!"
> You fly towards a cottage hidden in the bushes. It's quite hard to see until you get close, and besides, no youkai seem to live in this area.
> No turning back now! Are you ready for a long, talky cutscene you will have minimal control over?

[COPIRIGHTO]

>Scan area for orbs
>save game
>Walls of text

[Hello Purvis]

>Steal the silverware during the cutscene.

[Spidere]

>Scan area for orbs
>save game
>Walls of text

>Steal the silverware during the cutscene.

> You see no orbs or items of any kind!
> You cannot save the game yet!
> You prepare for anything.

> You prepare to steal anything worthwhile in the next cutscene.



> You soon reach the house and Ran escorts you up a flight of stairs. When you reach the room she opens the door for you. After you have entered, she whispers, "Good luck!" And closes the door behind you.

> Upon looking in front of you, you witness a shocking revelation! The Mysterious Woman with the Very Fancy Umbrella is in fact, Yukari! Her umbrella is also much fancier than you first thought!

> "So you've finally made it. It took you quite a while. Much longer than I expected. Ah well, no work experience will do that."

> What is she talking about?

> "You're probably just dying to get a grip on why you're here, why you were put in a moody maidens donation box, and finally, were brought back to life by a woman you don't know after making a foolish decision to mock said maiden. Right?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I didn't die. She just hit me in the face a bit. Right? But yeah, lay it on me. And don't be so mean this time. Because that hurts."

[Kasu]

> Silently rage at the lost chance to obtain the Yin-Yang Orb.

[axman36]

>Look for your items. She might have then lying around near her.

[Spidere]

> Silently rage at the lost chance to obtain the Yin-Yang Orb.

> Next time, you will get that orb.

>Look for your items. She might have then lying around near her.

> They're intact, nothing for her to steal, really...80 yen and clothing.

>"I didn't die. She just hit me in the face a bit. Right? But yeah, lay it on me. And don't be so mean this time. Because that hurts."

> "Didn't die? You had a fractured skull, and had a nasty hemorrhaging in the brain. You wouldn't reincarnate like other faeries either, because you're from the outside world."

> She has a point.

> "And I thought you'd at least let sleeping dogs lie. That certainly caught me off guard.
And if you thought I was mean, I could have left you to the designs of that gatekeeper and the maid. You could be sweeping a mansion for eternity right about now. In fact, I could send you back at anytime. So don't try any funny moves."

> Y'know, she does still have a point.

> "Now, the reason you're likely so eager to meet me," She bellows out her laugh, "the reason I've called you here. Simply enough, you are here, because youkai can't exist outside of Gensokyo. They are simply too dangerous to leave alone, unless they are completely harmless."

> "The other reason, is that I would like you to perform some...shall we say...services...for me. I have prepared a list of things that I would like you to do. Think of them as...the bill for your transportation here. On your way out, Ran will give you the list. Everytime you complete a task, I shall reward you something you seem to be willing to sneak up and steal from dangerous gatekeepers.

> Oh boy, just what you need. A list of dangerous feats you are forced to do.

> "Now before I send you on your way, ask any questions you may have."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Where's all my stuff?"

[axman36]

>"Are you always watching me?"

[Spidere]

>"Where's all my stuff?"

> "Ahhhh...Your copy PIN, correct? Due to the refractive nature of that item, it teleported to the east. In the...Garden of the Sun." A smile slowly forms on her lips. At that moment. You knew something devious waited for you there. And Yukari wouldn't let you avoid it forever.

> "Anymore questions?"

[COPIRIGHTO]

>"I CAN TAKE WHATEVER'S AT THE GARDEN OF THE SUN! NOR CLOUD NOR SQUALL OR SOME OTHER SQUARE ENIX CHARACTER CAN TAKE ME!

[Fetch()tirade]

> "On a scale of 1 to 96, what is the likelihood of me dying? More than once?"
> "Your umbrella's pretty fancy. Can I see it?"
> "Can I get some money or something? At most, 80 yen probably won't cover my funeral."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I CAN TAKE WHATEVER'S AT THE GARDEN OF THE SUN! NOR CLOUD NOR SQUALL OR SOME OTHER SQUARE ENIX CHARACTER CAN TAKE ME!

>C'mon man, you can be classier than that. We've got a faerie, not a /b/tard. However closely the venn diagrams may intersect.
>"Uh, why me? And...uh...why? And do you have any cookies?"

[axman36]

>"Is there ever the chance that I might get myself killed and you're not watching to notice? Should I fear any type of permanent death?"

[Spidere]

>"I CAN TAKE WHATEVER'S AT THE GARDEN OF THE SUN! NOR CLOUD NOR SQUALL OR SOME OTHER SQUARE ENIX CHARACTER CAN TAKE ME!

>C'mon man, you can be classier than that. We've got a faerie, not a /b/tard. However closely the venn diagrams may intersect.
>"Uh, why me? And...uh...why? And do you have any cookies?"

> Action failed.

> "Why you? Simple, you're the final youkai to exist in the outside world. And your abilities are required for these tasks to be done."

> "Cookies? Why, of course! Ran, my shikigami, just made a fresh batch of some of the most delicious chocolate chip cookies you've ever tasted. Which brings me to my next point. Anytime you want, you are welcome to return here for more jobs, a meal, or if you wish to play with Ran's shikigami, Chen. Our home is your home."

> Well. That's a benefit worth mentioning.

>"Is there ever the chance that I might get myself killed and you're not watching to notice? Should I fear any type of permanent death?"

> "On a scale of 1 to 96, what is the likelihood of me dying? More than once?"
> "Your umbrella's pretty fancy. Can I see it?"
> "Can I get some money or something? At most, 80 yen probably won't cover my funeral."

> "You will likely die....Very often. Since no one in this world knows you can't reincarnate, and due to you being a faerie...Many probably will go overboard in their attacks, and kill you. Don't worry though, anytime you die, I will revive you. And I'm always watching for you. Even if I'm asleep, I'll make sure you don't end up at the Sanzu river."

> "I'm afraid not. This umbrella has...personal significance to me."

> "The bundle Ran will give you has some money in it. Some of that is for one of the jobs you'll be doing however. So don't spend it all."

[Kasu]

> Look on the bright side.  At least we get shelter and food plus a 'Get Out of Death Free' card for doing these jobs.
> "I take it there is a job at the Garden of the Sun anyway?"
> Salute Yukari and make your way out of the house.

[Serela]

>"So... since I'm from the outside world, I have powers that others don't?"
>YEAAAH, WE'RE THE STRONGEST

[axman36]

>Head off to Ran and get the list of jobs we must do.
>Look around for this Chen she mentioned earlier.

[Kuma]

> "Is there any way that I could be able to reincarnate like this world's faeries?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Before leaving.
>"I'm not going to get to go home, am I?"

[Spidere]

>"So... since I'm from the outside world, I have powers that others don't?"
>YEAAAH, WE'RE THE STRONGEST

> "Yes....However, these powers are merely uncommon and useful. Not exactly abilities that will give you EX abilities."

> Look on the bright side.  At least we get shelter and food plus a 'Get Out of Death Free' card for doing these jobs.
> "I take it there is a job at the Garden of the Sun anyway?"
> Salute Yukari and make your way out of the house.

> Way to look on the bright side of things!

> That sinister smile creeps up on her lips.
> "You merely wish."
> Y'know. That really scares the hell out of you.

> You wave goodbye and prepare to leave, but before you close the door, you hear Yukari,
> "Anytime you need some advice, just call. I'll be....around."

> You step outside the house where Ran hands you a few things.

> You've obtained the JOURNAL!!! - This item allows you to scribble down your thoughts. Works as reference for Yukari. Fill this out when you encounter something new.

> You've obtained the SUPER DUPER MEGACRYSTAL PEN!!! - A fancy pen that never runs out of ink!

> You've obtained some DELICIOUS COOKIES and a SACK LUNCH!  - Food cooked by Ran. Extremely delicious.

> You've obtained the JOB LIST! - Gives you quests! It reads: "Sorry for the trouble she's causing you. -Ran"

> Following Quests added!
-Pint of the red stuff!: Using a vial or bottle, gather some blood from the lake of blood in Mugenkan!
-Akyu no Reference: Get a reference book from Akyu to help you.
-Steal the Conclusion: Collect a book on summoning Makai shikigami from the SDM!
-A bouncy child!: Find an inflatable castle for Chen!
-Tofu fries with that?: Buy some tofu for Ran's cooking.

> You also obtained a map of Gensokyo!

>Look around for this Chen she mentioned earlier.

> As you check over your equipment, a Nekomata about your height walks up to you.
> "Hullo there! I'm Chen!
> "Erm....hello! I'm Aurica!
> "Oh! You're the one Ran said was going to help with the chores! That's great! Well I'll see you around then! Next time you're here, let's play a little!"
> "OK!"

> You fly upwards. Where to next?

> "Is there any way that I could be able to reincarnate like this world's faeries?"

> "Yukari! Will I ever be able to reincarnate?"
> "Of course. But it was an adapted ability over generations. Don't worry. I'll be watching you until that time."

>"I'm not going to get to go home, am I?

> "As I recall, you didn't have a home. You wandered the Earth, looking for parents or a reason of your very existence."

> Once again. She does have a point.

> "And as I also recall, faeries are embodiments of nature. So you somehow came to be outside of Gensokyo. Which shouldn't happen. Ever.

> Yukari pauses, and adds, "I'll be taking a nap now, but feel free to call. I can speak to you even while sleeping. I expect some results by the end of today!"

[Kasu]

> First things first.  Head for the Human Village to obtain reference material.
> Thank Ran for the lunch.

[Hello Purvis]

>But there's nature outside, too. And some cool things...
>Oh well.
>Time for cookies~
>Wonder what an Akyu and a Makai and all this other weird stuff on the list is.
>Check current location!

[axman36]

>Ponder where we could find a vial or a bottle for the future.

[Spidere]

> First things first.  Head for the Human Village to obtain reference material.
> Thank Ran for the lunch.

> "Anytime Aurica!"

> You zoom quickly towards the human village. Within moments. You are outside of it.

>But there's nature outside, too. And some cool things...
>Oh well.
>Time for cookies~
>Wonder what an Akyu and a Makai and all this other weird stuff on the list is.
>Check current location!

> You hear Yukari chip in,
> "Yes, well, Gensokyo has more of nature than anywhere else. So faeries are always born here."
> "Oopsie~, I forgot to tell you, Akyu is a purple haired young girl. Tell her Yukari sent you. She'll give you the book. And Makai is the demon world, where many powerful youkai and devils exist. Many corporate entities are based there as well. You won't need to enter it though, don't worry. Besides, they're very kind in Makai."

> You eat the cookies. Yukari was right! These are the best cookies you've ever eaten!

> You are at the gates to the human village!

>Ponder where we could find a vial or a bottle for the future.

> "The store, silly~"
