(Skyseas of Gensokyo) Nazrin Quest (Part 3)

[Oldmansour]

>Can we hear enough to identify Lunasa's voice among said activity?

[DracoOmega]

>Can we hear enough to identify Lunasa's voice among said activity?

>You can dimly hear some conversation, but no voice stands out as obviously belonging to her.

[Oldmansour]

>Is there anyone moving about out here that we might be able to flag down?

[DracoOmega]

>Is there anyone moving about out here that we might be able to flag down?

>You passed a couple people a few moments back; you don't know if they're connected with this or not. There's no one in sight at this very moment, though. There might also be someone in the administrative office you could ask.

[Oldmansour]

>Head towards the administrative office. No sense interrupting something important that isn't tied to this job.

[DracoOmega]

>Head towards the administrative office. No sense interrupting something important that isn't tied to this job.

>You walk back down the corridor and take a left, shortly thereafter finding yourself in a small, relatively cramped room with a pair of desks and filing drawers and little else. A middle-aged woman looks up from the one closest to the entrance, eyes you appraisingly for a moment, and then asks:
>"Is there something I can do for you?"

[Oldmansour]

>"I'm looking for a Lunasa Prismriver, performing here tonight. I was told she might be in the building?"

[DracoOmega]

>"I'm looking for a Lunasa Prismriver, performing here tonight. I was told she might be in the building?"

>"Do you have business with her?" she asks, regarding you dryly.

[Oldmansour]

>"As a matter of fact, I do. And rather time-sensitive, at that."

[DracoOmega]

>"As a matter of fact, I do. And rather time-sensitive, at that."

>She is silent for a moment, then says: "She was by some time earlier. I don't know if she's still here or not. I can take a message for her, if you want to leave one."

[Oldmansour]

>"No, that's alright. Thanks for your time."
>Head back to that room we were before and have another listen, see if we can hear her this time.

[DracoOmega]

>"No, that's alright. Thanks for your time."
>Head back to that room we were before and have another listen, see if we can hear her this time.

>She nods to you, then returns to paperwork.
>You leave and head back to the hall doors, having a closer listen this time. There are at least 3 people inside the room, you believe, although none of them sound like Lunasa. They're too far away for you to tell what they're talking about.

[Oldmansour]

>Knock, knock.

[DracoOmega]

>Knock, knock.

>You knock on the doors firmly. Some moments later, a young man opens one of them a crack. He looks at you somewhat uncertainly.
>"Yes?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Sorry to interrupt. I'm looking for Lunasa Prismriver, have you seen her about? I have business with her."

[DracoOmega]

>"Sorry to interrupt. I'm looking for Lunasa Prismriver, have you seen her about? I have business with her."

>"She was here earlier," he says. "Left about... 20 minutes ago, maybe?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Did she mention where she was going?"

[DracoOmega]

>"Did she mention where she was going?"

>"Uh... I think she might have said something about lunch?"

[Oldmansour]

>".... Lunch at Minoriko's place, by any chance?"

[DracoOmega]

>".... Lunch at Minoriko's place, by any chance?"

>He shrugs. "Couldn't tell ya, sorry."

[Oldmansour]

>Of course.
>"Thanks anyway."
>Stroll around the place for a little bit, see if we can't spot her.
>If we don't, head outside.

[DracoOmega]

>Of course.
>"Thanks anyway."
>Stroll around the place for a little bit, see if we can't spot her.
>If we don't, head outside.

>He gives you a sheepish expression. "Sorry."
>You leave and wander around the building for a little bit. Poking your head into some of the side rooms, you find a couple other people going about their business, but no sign of Lunasa. You decide to look elsewhere.
>You exit the building and step back outside. You're currently on the eastern end of the village center, next to the village council office. The Harvest's Bounty is a short trip west, and a handful of other small shops are dotted about the area.

[Oldmansour]

>Do we see Lunasa in the vicinity?
>Are any of said shops food stalls or cafes of any sort?

[DracoOmega]

>Do we see Lunasa in the vicinity?
>Are any of said shops food stalls or cafes of any sort?

>You don't see Lunasa within sight at this very moment, although it wouldn't take too long to sweep the area.
>There are a handful of food stalls elsewhere in the area, and a coffee house and bakery.

[Oldmansour]

>Have a stroll around, see if we can see her. If nothing else, be a few moments more of civilization before the pain sure to come.

[DracoOmega]

>Have a stroll around, see if we can see her. If nothing else, be a few moments more of civilization before the pain sure to come.

>You have a walk around the area. It's fairly busy at the moment, by Easthaven standards, but not enough to obscure anyone in the crowd. You wend your way through the stands and shops once without event, but on a second pass, you catch a glance of Lunasa's distinctive profile leaving the general store.

[Hanzo K.]

>Quick, before she gets blended into the crowd and gets away!

[DracoOmega]

>Quick, before she gets blended into the crowd and gets away!

>You make a dash for Lunasa before you risk losing sight of her. She turns her head in your direction as you approach.
>"Oh, good afternoon, Nazrin," she says. "I didn't expect to see you here. Are you in on business, or just spending some time back home?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Business, I'm afraid. And a bit more than I bargained for. I know you're busy, with your concert and all, but can I have a minute or two?"

[DracoOmega]

>"Business, I'm afraid. And a bit more than I bargained for. I know you're busy, with your concert and all, but can I have a minute or two?"

>"I can spare a minute or two at least," she says, giving you an appraising look. "What is it?"
