Nitori Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> Sigh and pinch the bridge of our nose.
> "I guess. And I guess nothing actually happened in this instance."

>"Plenty happened!" Koa shouts from her hiding place.
>"Anyways, this won't be mentioned anytime soon," Aya says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thank you."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Thank you."

>"Any final comments?" Aya says, as she puts her camera away and retrieves her notebook.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I can't think of any at the moment."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I can't think of any at the moment."

>"Well then, I'll leave you be," says Aya. "Hopefully you'll have much more for me next time. But not too much more, we don't need you working too hard."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Grin a bit.
> "Glad someone appreciates what I do for this place."

[It's Purvis!]

> Grin a bit.
> "Glad someone appreciates what I do for this place."

>Aya gives a little chuckle that is difficult to read. "Can't have the star solver drop on us until the stars are solved," she says, as she makes her way out.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Good luck to both of us, then!"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Good luck to both of us, then!"

>"Luck indeed," she says, as she sauters off, then takes to the sky.
>As she does, you notice Aio lurking nearby, looking around the corner of a house. "Is it clear?" she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a slight sheepish grin.
> "Is it ever?"

[It's Purvis!]

> Give a slight sheepish grin.
> "Is it ever?"

>"I guess not," Aoi  says. "Is it a normal amount of clear?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back at where Koa was.
> "Is it clear for our other travel companion, Koa?"

[It's Purvis!]

> Look back at where Koa was.
> "Is it clear for our other travel companion, Koa?"

>"Give me a minute!" comes Koa's voice from the other side of the building.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back to Aoi.
> "It'll be a normal amount of clear in a minute."

[It's Purvis!]

> Look back to Aoi.
> "It'll be a normal amount of clear in a minute."

>She nods and approaches the door, but is careful not to get too close. As she rounds the corner, you see she has her own backpack, which is well stuffed with all kinds of things; you think you hear some cookware clattering inside?
>"Any new disasters?" she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Not that I'm aware of. Plan's still on to go exploring, treasure hunting, and star hunting all at once. I do need to finalize a few things with the rocket itself, but that's a matter of minutes instead of hours."

>"When do we leave?" she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Based on last night's calculations, when do we leave?

[It's Purvis!]

> Based on last night's calculations, when do we leave?

>You've got about an hour, give or take.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Roughly an hour."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Roughly an hour."

>"Okay, that shouldn't be difficult," Aoi says, "Plenty of time to get settled in."
>"What's for breakfast?" Koa says as she wanders back in; presumably clothed this time.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What do we have available?

[It's Purvis!]

> What do we have available?

>Mostly rice and cucumbers. You weren't of the mind to do a lot of shopping before leaving home for a few days.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Cucumbers and rice."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Cucumbers and rice."

>"Not even pancakes? C'mon," Koa says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "I like what I like."

[It's Purvis!]

> Shrug.
> "I like what I like."

>"Fiiiine, it'll do," Koa says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...In thinking about it, it would probably make more sense to do food first before getting back to work."

[It's Purvis!]

> "...In thinking about it, it would probably make more sense to do food first before getting back to work."

>"I can handle it!" Aoi says. "You just focus on getting things ready."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "If you're willing, sure."
> Head back into the workshop.
