Sango Quest - Phwee Phwee Style, Phwee Phwee Grace!

[Sect]

> Rest head on Utusho's head. "Awwwwright... you can have your little secret. Knowing you, though, it'll be pretty cool!"
> "So, Harami, what should we do? I mean, I can easily skip outta school until practice, so if we need to do recon, I'm all up for it!"

So, what are your guys' intentions with Utsuho? Are you planning on pursuing something with her? Are you just being overly friendly? Are you trying for a harem ending?

So, what are your guys' intentions with Utsuho? Are you planning on pursuing something with her? Are you just being overly friendly? Are you trying for a harem ending?

>Utsuho seems unperturbed by how close you are, actually. She only seems frustrated that you're pressing into her secrets...
>"Scouting seems like a good idea. I'd suggest not approaching the aquarium for now - Anguilli has it covered, and we don't want to fight unprepared. Is there anywhere else you feel might be a good place to investigate?"

[Hello Purvis]

Harem ending? Read back a bit, she was the original target.

>What other major areas are there around the island?
>How much of the island is still wild, if any?

[Kips McKipzerson]

>What parts of the island have the most electronical equipment? With all it down, There might be a house or two another Champion is hiding in.

[Hello Purvis]

Why would places with electronics = opposing champion?

[Kips McKipzerson]

Because that's the last place anyone would look, right in the dead center of all electronics? At least the way the way I saw it. Besides, No hurt in at least asking about it, right?

[Hello Purvis]

Yeah, but it's sort of like saying "No one will look in McDonald's!" or "No one will look in Accounting Accounting Offices with no less than 50 employees and no greater than 75!". It's technically true? But so random it's not really worth considering at this stage.

[FinnKaenbyou]

Harem ending? Read back a bit, she was the original target.

>What other major areas are there around the island?
>How much of the island is still wild, if any?

>Other large areas? There's the industrial district - you pretty much never go there normally, because it's nothing but business and construction and they don't even have a goddamn swimming pool for you to play in.
There's also what is jokingly referred to as the Pious District, namely because it contains pretty much all of Gensoushima's religious facilities. This mainly consists of the three shrines of Hakurei, Moriya and Myouren, all competing for faith [and, though they'd never say it publically, coin].
>For the most part the wildest this island got was the coastline - which given the current intake of sharks, dolphins, eels and other unnatural animals for the climate is pretty wild. There's a small forest in the eastern corner of the island, if you recall. They had a nice river, but too many sharp turns and too much slamming into walls.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Do you think any of them would have claimed the river?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Do you think any of them would have claimed the river?"

>"Hm...I doubt most of the nations would feel comfortable taking a river as a base. If it's anyone, it'll be the Characi - the pirahnas are usually small enough that size isn't an issue." You catch a hint of mockery in Harami's voice.

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"You think they would be good to start with? Or should we avoid them for now?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Nod.
>"You think they would be good to start with? Or should we avoid them for now?"

>"If you want my honest opinion? Better them than any of the other five."

[Sect]

> "Hm... so we should probably check out the river, then. Hey, do you think any of the groups might be interested in the industrial district?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

> "Hm... so we should probably check out the river, then. Hey, do you think any of the groups might be interested in the industrial district?"

>"Industrial...that's difficult. If there's a dock, Gaviali has probably seized it. They've romanticised your concept of organised crime, so they're drawn to places like that. For business, you're probably looking at Lophii - they like being around money, just because it gives them a chance to flex their lying muscles.
We were lucky to find Anguilli - we can't expect that to happen again with Meduso. Selachi is the hardest, because their Royal never stays in one place for long - they're always on the hunt, looking for another nation to challenge."

[Sect]

> "Hm..."Let go of Utsuho, and return to that bag of goods. Start separating the clothes and swimsuit from the tools that we got.
> "So we know the eel people are at the aquarium, and the crocodile people are at the docks most likely, and the pirhana are probably at the river... but the jellyfish, anglerfish, and shark people we don't know yet... this is going to be pretty rough, huh?"
> Start taking the gear out of the packaging and inspect it. How can we hold the light and spare air? Will we need bags for them?
> Is there anybody we know we could ask for help? Even if it's not to help fight them or anything, but at least give us a head's up if they hear anything strange?

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Utsuho goes back to sulking. Harami takes her pile of clothes and pulls them away, reluctantly changing into the clothes you bought her.
>"War is typically rough, Sango. I assumed that was obvious," she says as she leaves.
>The best you could do is strapping them to your thighs, and then hiding them underneath a skirt. Should be enough for you to walk around without them being noticed.
>The closest friends you have outside your dorm are from the swim team - the Komeijis, and the pair of Shou and Nazrin.

[Sect]

> Do we know what the Komeijis and Shouzrin do on their spare time? Obviously we're not going to ask them to help us fight a war, but maybe they'll hear something...
> Hike up our skirt and strap the knife, air, and light to our leg, to see how it'll look.

[FinnKaenbyou]

> Hike up our skirt and strap the knife, air, and light to our leg, to see how it'll look.

>You don't see much of the Komeijis. They're usually holed up at home when they aren't at school or at a club.
Nazrin works at the temple that took her in as a young girl. The Myouren temple, you think it's called. Shou usually heads over there to help out when she doesn't have anything else on.
>As long as no-one's looking right up your skirt, they won't see this. Of course, if anyone did that while you WEREN'T trying to hide something, you'd still beat them senseless.

[Sect]

> "Hm... all right, I should be set... Hey, Rin, if you see Shou before school ends, tell her that I'm still feeling a bit sick, but I should be there for practice!"
> Wait for Harami to finish getting ready, then slip out of the dorms.
> "So... do you think I can take on those pirhana guys now?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

> "Hm... all right, I should be set... Hey, Rin, if you see Shou before school ends, tell her that I'm still feeling a bit sick, but I should be there for practice!"
> Wait for Harami to finish getting ready, then slip out of the dorms.
> "So... do you think I can take on those pirhana guys now?"

>"Already planning on it. Nothing makes you miss a session, huh...?"
>Harami changes fully into her new outfit, stepping back out into Gensoushima's fresh air. She blushes, hanging her head both for anonymity and maintaining her pride.
>"I think you have a good chance, if nothing else. Remember, we'll need to find their Royal if we wish to properly challenge them and remove them from the war. I doubt he would sit around and let the war happen around him, too...he'll be around the island, looking for other Royals. I'd suggest...some sort of eatery? Pirahnas have ravenous appetites, after all."

[Sect]

> What's Harami's wardrobe look like?
> "Hm... maybe that place where we broke up those thugs? Would he want cheap stuff, or fine dining?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

> What's Harami's wardrobe look like?
> "Hm... maybe that place where we broke up those thugs? Would he want cheap stuff, or fine dining?"

>She's wearing the jacket from Mystia's, with a white shirt and long jeans beneath it. She wanted a skirt, but Fujiwara's didn't sell any.
>"Cheap. Pirahnas don't care for taste, they just care about volume."

[Sect]

> "So... back to MikoBurger, then?"

[E-Nazrin]

>Who else was there at Mikoburger when we last visited?
>"Do you think the Royal might have been there already?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

> "So... back to MikoBurger, then?"

>"That seems like the obvious spot, yes."

>Who else was there at Mikoburger when we last visited?
>"Do you think the Royal might have been there already?"

>Come to think of it...wasn't there a guy in one of the booths guzzling down all the food he could get his hands on?
"...It's disturbingly possible that we may have walked right past him."
Harami rubs a palm into her face, muttering.

>You take the trek back to Mikoburger, entering the restaurant as the lunchtime rush dies down. You hear a familiar munching noise coming from one of the booths.

[Sect]

> Whisper: "I dunno about you, but that sounds like our guy."
> Edge around to get a better look.

[FinnKaenbyou]

> Whisper: "I dunno about you, but that sounds like our guy."
> Edge around to get a better look.

>You see a surprisingly slim man taking an entire booth for himself, guzzling away at four full family meals at once. His hair is his most promiment feature - a Mohican, pale green fading to white at the lower edges. He's wearing a long raincoat hiding the rest of his features, but you can see webbing between his fingers as he grabs at his lunch.
>He doesn't seem to be paying you the slightest bit of attention, actually. He's too busy eating. Harami gives you a nod: this is DEFINITELY your guy.

[Sect]

> Punch in his snout to establish dominance
> "So, what do we do, then? Slap him with a glove? Send him a challenge letter? Punch him in the nose?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Ponder if we could give him something poisonous.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Ponder if we could give him something poisonous.

>"From what I know about his digestive system, I'm not sure if he even can be poisoned."

> "So, what do we do, then? Slap him with a glove? Send him a challenge letter? Punch him in the nose?"

>"Allow me. Stand in front of the booth in case he tries to leave, but I assume he'll be willing to accept regardless."
You follow Harami's orders, blocking the man's exit as Harami sits across from him.
"Good afternoon, Serras."
The man jerks his head up, cheeks still bulging with food.
"Eh? Wuffis...? Oo the 'ell are you?"
He takes a second to swallow his food as Harami answers.
"I'm surprised you don't recognise me, Serras. Am I not the girl you're meant to be out there looking for?"
Serras's eyes widen for a moment in confusion, but you see the realisation slide onto his face.
"...Well, if it isn't the long-lost princess of the dolphins. Course, you just fell into my trap. I was sorta waiting for you guys to show up. Yeah. Totally."
He's a bad liar. Hell, his hair seems to waver around as he speaks, he's that bad. Harami is unimpressed.
"Regardless, we've started discussion. That gives us the right to decide the time and location. Assuming you accept, of course."
Serras grins. "Heh. Like Characi would ever turn down a fight. You're gonna get what you deserve for underestimating us, air-breather."

Harami turns to you.
"Well, Sango? Where, and when?"
