Maribel Quest Followthrough - A Z-Machine Adventure
Hello Purvis:
>You are Maribel Hearn, and the world is wrong. Or rather, you're in the wrong world!
>Having woken up in a strange room, you've discovered you are in the middle of a world called Gensokyo, and you've finally discovered another world that you've always knew existed
>You grew up in Japan, living a fairly normal life. Still, you always had a strong instinct that there was more to the world than you could see. You studied psychology in college, and met your best friend there, a woman named Renko. The two of you shared a passion for the supernatural (extranormal, Renko called it, to make it sound more legitimate). In pursuing that passion, the two of you followed your instincts and moved to small island nation called Gensokyo. From there, then memories of the past half year fuzzy. You remember running a modestly successful detective agency and numerous attempts to find supernatural activity. You remember a woman named Utsuho being a prominent influence on your life in the last few days before you woke up here, but you can't remember a lot about it. You remember, though, that she helped you prove the supernatural exists beyond the shadow of a doubt! Too bad you can only recall vague details about it.
>You have been wandering through Gensokyo! You've learned some of the basics of flight, danmaku, time-stopping and barrier magic, and you're on cloud nine! Reimu is very concerned you may easily end up a Youkai; Patchouli and Mystia seem to be all for it. Utsuho and Yuugi are in a doomed rivalry for Parsee's love, you have tried to nudge them toward Polyamory. You visited Komachi and got her back to work on Reimu's behalf! You have assisted Murasa at the underground clinic on Byakuren's behalf, which involved cleaning up vomit buckets and dealing with a racist old oni. Byakuren has agreed to consider enhancing your natural magical abilities if you gather the necessary ingredients. You have planted flowers for Yuka! You have been charged to find out where all the maids at Scarlet Devil Mansion have gone! You've been chased by a mob of faeries! You have befriend Tokiko, and are helping her get used to society and not eating animals raw. You have engaged in a few fact finding missions on Utsuho's behalf. There is still no sign of Renko.
>You are currently negotiating with a tengu guard to get access to their city.

>You could try this, but given you don't think this is Kanako, you have no idea if she would hear. Or care.

--- Quote from: DracoOmega on August 17, 2010, 02:11:20 AM --->Rather, politely withdraw, if we can't negotiate.

>You consider bursting your way through, but you get the feeling this tengu would rock your face.

>"I am Momiji Inubashira," she says, bowing toward you. "This is your first time leaving the village, then?"

communist unity (comm-unity):
> "Why can't any outsiders enter, anyways? This is kind of a crucial matter for me."
> "Well, can you at least tell me if you've seen my friend Renko? Human with brown hair. Usually wears a white shirt, black hat, and a tie."
> "Actually, I'm kind of new to Gensokyo itself. I come from the outside world."
Kilgamayan:
> Do we recall an Inubashiri from the dream world that wasn't?
