Iku Quest Deka: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very. Given that, we must make our departure very soon, as we still have many things to take care of. I trust Lady Cirno has treated you well, and that we can continue to not worry about you while you are in her care?"
> This is the island Reimu said she would be watching over, correct?

>"She's been a little sweetheart," says Lady Hinanai. "Though I am a little concerned she is going to put on some weight if she keeps demanding pie."
>Cirno gives Lady Hinanai a dirty look.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, that could indeed be a worry. But I think I may have a potential help to such a problem, as well as a larger worry."
> Turn to Cirno.
> "Lady Cirno, do you remember yesterday, when I told you that Remilia has not been behaving as quite the benevolent conqueror that you have been?"

>"Huh?" says Cirno. "You did?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I did not discuss her in much detail, but I did. It seems that her thirst for power and territory has grown, and she is trying to expand control over the islands in the sky. The red-white and her friends believe this island, with your fortress, could be next on her path of conquest."

>"Hey! I claimed it first!" Cirno shouts.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I do not think Remilia is terribly interested in playing by the rules. I do not think she is interested in much beyond making herself more important. She does not treat the celestials she has conquered as nicely as you do yours. But all is not ill! The red-white is here to help defend this island against any attack Remilia may order. Lady Cirno, I humbly request that you fight alongside the red-white, should Remilia show her face here."
> Gesture to Lady Hinanai.
> "Your maid here, the one that makes you so many delicious pies..."
> Gesture to Tenshi.
> "...is actually Tenshi's mother. We have seen that you treat her well, and we have faith that yourself and the red-white can suppress any of Remilia's invasion attempts. After all, I understand that fairies have defeated Remilia's forces in battle before, so I have faith that you can put up a proper fight. Please, defend your fortress, and defend your precious maids. Do not let Remilia take them away. We are counting on you to keep Lady Hinanai safe."

>"Wait, that's Tenshi's mother?" says Cirno. "That's so gross!"
>"Hey, you wanna take this outside?" says Tenshi.
>"I'll take you outside!" says Cirno.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Lady Cirno, please. Such rudeness is not befitting of someone of your stature. Besides, there are other matters to worry about, such as the safety of your fortress."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Lady Cirno, please. Such rudeness is not befitting of someone of your stature. Besides, there are other matters to worry about, such as the safety of your fortress."

>"Ha!" says Cirno, pointing at Tenshi.
>"You think you can just brush me off like that, you little shit?" says Tenshi, as she puts her hand on her sword.
>"Says the big shit, oooooooh!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cirno, if you keep insulting Tenshi, your maid may be far less inclined to make pies as tasty as she been. Is that what you want?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cirno, if you keep insulting Tenshi, your maid may be far less inclined to make pies as tasty as she been. Is that what you want?"

>"Hey, she started it!" says Cirno.
>"Like hell!" says Tenshi.
>"You're hell!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Tenshi's mother with an 'I need some help here' look on our face.

[Hello Purvis]

> Look to Tenshi's mother with an 'I need some help here' look on our face.

>You look to Lady Hinanai, begging for aid. She nods.
>"Tenshi, dear?" she says.
>"What, mom?" Tenshi says, her voice sharp.
>"Let me handle this. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for her to be bested by your mother, all told? You and Iku have important work to do."
>"Okay, fine!" says Tenshi
>"Wait, what?" says Cirno.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Bow to Tenshi's mother.
> "I will leave it to you, Lady Hinanai. Thank you, and stay safe. And please, assist the red-white as you can."
> Beckon Tenshi to follow us and exit the house.

> Bow to Tenshi's mother.

> Beckon Tenshi to follow us and exit the house.

>You bow toward Lady Hinanai, beckon to Tenshi, then depart.
>"You better run!" Cirno calls.
>Tenshi stops at the threshold, then says, "You know, Iku, this would only take me like a minute."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I know it would. And you were right, and she was wrong. But your mother can handle the situation."
> Look to Tenshi. Put a finger to our mouth in a 'shhh' pose, point to the door with the same finger, beckon her again and take flight toward Renko and Maribel's house.
> "I'll tell you what. Once we've taken care of today's business, if Cirno still wants a fight, and you still want a fight, the two of you can have your duel. Outside, of course, to minimize the risk of collateral damage."

>"Fiiiiiiiine," says Tenshi, as she departs with you.
>"She's gonna get hers," Tenshi says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I am sure she will. And I meant what I said, since we're now out of earshot. That was a very rude thing of her to say."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "I am sure she will. And I meant what I said, since we're now out of earshot. That was a very rude thing of her to say."

>"Yeah, you should've just let me handle that," says Tenshi.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "I considered it, but your mother has taken a bit of a shine to Cirno, and I didn't want to see the two of you fight in front of her."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I considered it, but your mother has taken a bit of a shine to Cirno, and I didn't want to see the two of you fight in front of her."

>"Ack. Fine," says Tenshi.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Soft smile.
> "Don't let her get to you too much. She's just a silly fairy, and one you could vaporize fairly effortlessly at that. I'd bet she'll have forgotten all about this in two hours."
> Frown.
> "And at least you didn't go through the indignity of calling her "Lady" to keep up appearances and maintain her happiness."

>"Yeah, what was up with that?" says Tenshi. "Not like she could do anything if you didn't."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "It was partly to keep her happy and distracted, for all the good I did in the end in that regard. The other part was to perhaps convince her that it was her duty to defend the island alongside Reimu, and thus keep her distracted in a different way."

>"Maybe," says Tenshi. "She's probably just get in Reimu's way. But whatever."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Shrug.
> "Eh, it's over and done now."
> Continue flying toward the Turtle House.

[Hello Purvis]

> Shrug.
> "Eh, it's over and done now."
> Continue flying toward the Turtle House.

>It takes you a few minutes to complete the trip, but you reach Turtle house without any issues.  Things seem to be quiet for the moment.

>_

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Does it seem to be Quiet Too Quiet?

I gotta stop troping.

[Kilgamayan]

Purvis has been known to punish for troping, so yes, watch out. >_>

> Knock on the door.
> Plaster a toothy grin on our face.

[Hello Purvis]

> Does it seem to be Quiet Too Quiet?

>Your mom's too quiet.

> Knock on the door.
> Plaster a toothy grin on our face.

>You knock on the door.
>No one answers.
