Nitori Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> "Well, the hair is what it is. Cost aside, I'm very happy with it. I just wasn't sure if you wanted to feel it more, or if you thought that would be weird."

>"It'd be weird," Momiji says. "Does look good, though. Kind of festive, like you have streamers on."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thanks! I'm glad you think so."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Thanks! I'm glad you think so."

>The two of you wander through the trade meet of the festival as you talk. Here kappa, a few yamawaro, and a few others have set up stands and spread blankets across the ground, selling a wide variety of small inventions, loose pieces, tools, and various junk. Just looking around, you could have easily found a ready-made part to finish the rocket, but the scrap you got was priced just right.
>"So you gonna take yours?" Momiji says, holding out the fish.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Free is the best price, after all!
> Which of the five fish is she offering us?
> If she's offering all five, ask: "Oh, right. Which three did you want?"

>"I'll take these," she says, offering you a catfish and the sweetish.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Take 'em and eat 'em!

[It's Purvis!]

> Take 'em and eat 'em!

>You take them and dig in, finding them a salty and well-grilled.
>"So that faerie's been running around the mountain all day," Momiji says as she munches on one of her fish. "No idea what she's up to. Been waiting for her to run into one of the patrols."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I was trying. She just wouldn't take the bait..."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I was trying. She just wouldn't take the bait..."

>"Don't dump your problems on us, please," Momiji says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I didn't like doing it, but I really didn't want to start a fight in the middle of the line."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I didn't like doing it, but I really didn't want to start a fight in the middle of the line."

>She nods. "Yeah, that wouldn't have been any good. That's why I didn't get involved, it would have just gotten her confused."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "No good way out of the situation, really. But at least it resolved itself."

[It's Purvis!]

> "No good way out of the situation, really. But at least it resolved itself."

>She nods. "For the moment, anyways."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Anyway, the rocket..."
> Regale Momiji with tales of our rocket-related exploits from today, including the visits to Kourindou, the Hakurei Shrine, the yamawaro warzone, the Tenkyuu Shrine, and the Scarlet Devil Mansion, as well as Aya visiting already.

>You regale her with the general details, as you walk around and enjoy dinner. The crowds wax and wane as you explore the festival. You pass the red-haired drummer, who gives you a grin as you do. You see that blonde faerie a few times poking her nose here and there; looking behind booths and tables. At one point, you are pretty sure you see a group of kobito shoplifting from one of the trading stands.
>"I'm surprised Aya got here so fast. Must've been a slow news day."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It worked out for me. I'm certainly not complaining. Though it's possible you're right about the slow news day thing, given she's considering going with me."

[It's Purvis!]

> "It worked out for me. I'm certainly not complaining. Though it's possible you're right about the slow news day thing, given she's considering going with me."

>"Really?" she says. "Probably just looking to cause trouble for whoever you end up meeting."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "If I meet anyone. I certainly didn't promise her any results."

[It's Purvis!]

> "If I meet anyone. I certainly didn't promise her any results."

>"Fair," says Momiji. "Gotta be some Lunarians, though?"

>_

[Branneg Xy]

>"Fair," says Momiji. "Gotta be some Lunarians, though?"

>_

>Answer her that since the main aim is a Challenging Rocket-Building with Actual Outer Space Exploration and Best Material Retrieval...both you and the Patchouli's Crew on the Rocket from the Scarlet Mansion and Patchouli,are very unlikely to meet Lunarians unless very particular scenarios such as they Rocket-Exploring as well or intercepting you somehow.

[Kilgamayan]

> After the above: "...Unless they've mastered space exploration themselves and are wandering around away from the moon now. ...Which I guess is actually pretty possible now that I think about it, huh?"

>Momiji nods along. "Who knows what's going on in their heads, really?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shake our head.
> "Impossible to say."

[It's Purvis!]

> Shake our head.
> "Impossible to say."

>"So, while you're gone," Momiji says, "Is there anything you want done? I don't have a whole lot of time, but I can see what I can do."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Oh, that's a good consideration. Is there anything that'll need doing while we're out?

[It's Purvis!]

> Oh, that's a good consideration. Is there anything that'll need doing while we're out?

>Is there? Your warehouse ought to be largely fine while you're gone; not that you could probably talk her into cleaning or anything anyways.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Does Momiji get any sort of regularly-scheduled days off?

> " I can't think of anything, honestly. The offers appreciated, though. ...I guess just make sure no one has blown up my house by the time I get back."

>She does. Weekends, usually.
>"I'll see what I can do," Momiji says. "No promises, but if I see someone, I'll at least try to note down who they are if I can't stop them. But if you need anything else, let me know."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Will do. Thanks, buddy."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Will do. Thanks, buddy."

>"Can't let someone steal the shoji set, after all," she says.
