Seija Quest

[Tom]

> "I dunno what you're talking about. But it's not like I can control what that card thing says."

> "Y-you're right!  I-i apologize for even thinking such!" she says nervously

[Kilgamayan]

> "Eh, no worries. I get that everyone's got eyes on everyone else right now."
> "We're looking into what happened with the box, though. Did you see anyone get lose to it, maybe do something to it, not too long before it went kablooey?"

> "Eh, no worries. I get that everyone's got eyes on everyone else right now."
> "We're looking into what happened with the box, though. Did you see anyone get lose to it, maybe do something to it, not too long before it went kablooey?"

> "No, I was with Alice on the steps leading up to the shrine watching lady Yuyuko and Yukari play mahjong"

> "We just heard a bang and immediately after Tenshi somersaulted into the middle of the mahjong tiles"

[Kilgamayan]

> What do we know about how mahjong is played?

[Tom]

> What do we know about how mahjong is played?

> You know the basics, during the revolution Shinmyoumaru insisted you play mahjong with her sometimes.

> She's not very good either, but you'd usually just let her win...  Failure is just as pleasant for Amanojaku after all~
> It also helped keep her mind off the revolution, as she'd dwell on any problems encountered.

[Kilgamayan]

> Would it make sense for only two players to be playing it, then?

[Tom]

> Would it make sense for only two players to be playing it, then?

> An ever popular variant in Gensokyo works with two players, in fact thats what you and Shinmyoumaru played.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Was there anyone else with you?"

[Tom]

> "Was there anyone else with you?"

> "Well a couple of Alice's dolls floated by but other than that it was just the four of us"

[Kilgamayan]

> Don't those two have attendants? The fox and the sword girl?

[Tom]

> Don't those two have attendants? The fox and the sword girl?

> Youmu usually accompanies the ghost lady.  You don't remember anything about a fox though.

[Kilgamayan]

> "So the ghost didn't have her half-ghost attendant?"

[Tom]

> "So the ghost didn't have her half-ghost attendant?"

> "No, she was probably still busy preparing and serving food.  Remember she helped make the spring rolls."

> Knowledge Acquired: Spring Rolls - The ghost lady's assistant Youmu helped prepare and serve the festival's spring rolls

[Kilgamayan]

> Hrm, okay. Mental checklist: Who have we seen at the shrine today, not including Iris?

[Tom]

> Hrm, okay. Mental checklist: Who have we seen at the shrine today, not including Iris?

> Based on those you've seen and those Shinmyoumaru has mentioned you come up with the following list:  Shinmyoumaru, Reimu, Marisa, Mima, Yuuka, Tenshi, Alice, Youmu and the ghost lady she accompanies, Yukari, Mokou, the village school teacher, the green haired shrine maiden, the owner of Kourindou, the pharmacist and her pink friend, the vampire and librarian that live in the red mansion and their maid, an ice fairy and her blonde friend.

> Which 1 of those were in the surroundings of The Box AND we did not talk about this situation yet ?

[NucleusWaffles]

Spoiler:

Lets start from the outset,this is Dangenronpa, backdrop and canonica publishing on Youkai Mount and Rinnosukes Shoppe are held in high account, established outsider knowledge, motives are inversive, design is nicely complete

We could start having fun and enjoying ourselves, that ought to uh, out any crazies

>”Ms Knowledge, I am interested in drawing parallels now, what writing metaphor would you best use to describe our current peril?”

>if else “I am a different person now, but maybe not for long, consistency is not my speci’ forte”

[NucleusWaffles]

Spoiler:

I wish koishi and nitori are here, they are much better at this stuff

[Tom]

// Sorry for the lack of updates, had university exams, senior projects etc. also Unconnected Marketeers launched and needed replay format research for LC Replays Uploader.  Glad to see there's still interest in the quest!  Apologize if I'm a little rusty in these first parses, this game's quite complicated to run.

> Which 1 of those were in the surroundings of The Box AND we did not talk about this situation yet ?

// Characters met by Shinmyoumaru or other party members aren't included
> You weren't really paying that much attention to the box to begin with so it's hard to tell. You've only really discussed the incident in detail with Princess Shinmyoumaru, Lady Patchouli, the Eientei Pharmacist and Tenshi (who was thrown across the yard from the box when it exploded).

>”Ms Knowledge, I am interested in drawing parallels now, what writing metaphor would you best use to describe our current peril?”

>if else “I am a different person now, but maybe not for long, consistency is not my speci’ forte”

> "Hmm..."
> After a moment of thought "That Iris is not the only doll around here, it sure feels like we're the puppets in someone else's show..."

> "What can that doll possibly gain out of rewarding Youkai for causing trouble..."

[NucleusWaffles]

“Ms Knowledge, you must summon the avatar of ruination, that has red eyes, black hair, the same colour as mine. The ritual must be performed by Ms Kirisame, and shall remain unseen by the Red Garment White Miko, herself entangled by kerosene threads to be unaware of her blue nature”

“The exact way to achieve this is because spring rolls are being traded and trees and are growing in the Ayakashi, again, Ms Konpaku should be well equipped to provide us with the hardware”

> You do not know of such an entity (or what an Ayakashi is) and merely end up stuttering as if trying to say something but fogetting what it was

[NucleusWaffles]

>Inspect EVERYTHING

[Tom]

>Inspect EVERYTHING

> You doubt you'll have enough time to inspect everything, Iris only gave you until sunrise to solve the incident, and that includes convincing trying to convince the shrine maiden who the culprit is and defeating them in danmaku duels if necessary...

[NucleusWaffles]

> Print our current list of knowledge and items

> Try to mess with the settings, stack, combine, and scan the persons/objects multiple times

> Borrow other persons and scan the human beings against other objects

> Speak whatever needed to achieve said aim

##Thank you sysadmin please use your magic algorithms to solve my linguistic incompetence

##You are truly a god amongst men to be able to parse the million different repos floating in cyberspace and communicate with aliens and stuff

[Tom]

> Print our current list of knowledge and items

> Inventory:
>> Nimble Fabric: A rare cloak you can charge with magical energy to make yourself invulnerable to magic attacks.  It's not transparrent though so visibility and thus movement is quite restricted.
>> Tengu's Training Camera: A camera used by Tengu journalists in training, it can automatically focus, adjust exposure and also has a timer.  These use a novel type of rewriteable magnetic film which can recall the last 4 pictures taken, making such cameras excellent for practicing photography.  Nevertheless it can still clear bullets in frame like any other Tengu camera.
>> Miracle Mallet (Replica): Only you and Shinmyoumaru can tell the difference between the real Miracle Mallet and this perfect replica.  While it looks small and lacks miracle granting abilities, it can *certainly* deal magically enhanced blunt force trauma.
>> Mysterious Spell Card: A spell card given to you by Shinmyoumaru.  According to what you overheard earlier they contain questionably obtained information on everyone, among a snarky comment or two on one's personality.  You've never actually looked at yours though.

> Knowledge:
>> Kerosene Heater: A foreign looking device which functions like a fireplace for the lazy.
>> Rinnosuke's Account: While nothing's wrong with the Kerosene Heater such devices leak fuel if tipped over.
>> Donation Box Residue: Primarily gunpowder residue, with a hint of something foul smelling.
>> Shinmyoumaru's Suspicions: Shinmyoumaru was working with someone who suspected Alice being behind the 'High Stakes Incident Showdown' competition.
>> Spring Rolls: The ghost lady's assistant Youmu helped prepare and serve the festival's spring rolls.

> Try to mess with the settings, stack, combine, and scan the persons/objects multiple times

> You fiddle around with the settings and accidentally set the difficulty to Lunatic!
> You're not familiar of any 'settings'?
> You take another look at the items you're holding, aside from the Mysterious Spell Card they're all cheat items that'll let you cheese any danmaku duel.

> Borrow other persons and scan the human beings against other objects

// Can't really understand the action so parsing with generic flavortext
> You think of investigating those around you and their connections to the incident...

> Speak whatever needed to achieve said aim

// Actions need to be more specific than to be valid.  Parsing generic "goal oriented" actions is risky as it leaves a lot of room for interpretation by the QM.  You might get radically different results/actions than you expected!

> "So the ghost didn't have her half-ghost attendant?"

> " So,would it be useful if I go check what the Ghost lady and her Attendant have noticed on their part"

> If approved, look for them.

> Approach the 1st one found and tell her ,since you are investigating to solve this incident,if they have noticed any "peculiarities" sorrounding the Party and the Aftermath at the Shrine...especially around That Box.

> Compare them with the "peculiarities"we already know of.

> You walk around the front yard and find Lady Yuyuko first over by the warehouse to the left of the shrine.
> "How may I help you miss...?"
> Shinmyoumaru (who appears to have followed you) exclaims "Seija!"
> You ask what she knows about the event and box...
> "I'm afraid I don't know much about that box~  I arrived late because of some pesky fairies on the way here and even then I stayed mostly on the shrine's steps playing mahjong with Yukari!  Other than that silly celestial somersaulting onto our mahjong tiles I can't say I saw much related to the incident~"

> She begins to float away but stops "Perhaps you should ask my assistant Youmu?  She got here much earlier and even helped with the preparations I hear~"

> After your meeting with the ghost princess you walk over to the table and inspect some of the remaining cards for familiar names or places but they all remain blank...
> You suspect they might only reveal their contents when held by their owners?
