Murasa Quest Continues 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

>Do we know much about any 'new world'?
>"We managed to find what Stargazer was looking for, it wasn't a single tree but rather an ominous ring of trees. I was hoping Yukari could take a look at it. How like her to just dissapear off somewhere."

>You know...of it. Apparently if you go further east into the ocean for many days, going so far that east becomes west once more, you find it.
>"How like her indeed," says Sakuya. "What's ominous about it?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Well, the parser warned me to finish up my side quests before I went there. Pretty sure there's a final boss in there or something."
>Did the feeling we got from the ring of trees feel related to the unpleasant feeling we've been having since this whole thing began?

>Hard to say either way. You'll have to use your intuition there.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Well, nothing much to look at it. But being near it gives me a strange feeling. You felt it too right Stargazer?"

[Branneg Xy]

>You know...of it. Apparently if you go further east into the ocean for many days, going so far that east becomes west once more, you find it.
>"How like her indeed," says Sakuya. "What's ominous about it?"

>_

> " I am about to ask a confirmation from Stargazer ,but it is likely  the Ominous Presence of the " Unseen Clergy" we felt in the earlier "voyages" is similar or even...the same."

> "Besides, since it is important to show that Ominous Ring-Cirle of Those Trees to all of us,we might as well wait for Yukari  to come back here once her "Inspection" is finished...unless she said or hinted not to wait for her?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Well, nothing much to look at it. But being near it gives me a strange feeling. You felt it too right Stargazer?"

>Stargazer nods in agreement.

>Stargazer radiates uncertainty, but slowly nods.
>"No, Yukari didn't leave any kind of instructions," says Sakuya. "That might have been helpful."

> " Well,we the 3 of us can wait for Yukari around here while ,still,around here, checking if there is any Other Anomaly or Such or ,and...  "

>..."if she tarries too much,then that is the go-ahead to head together,though not hurrying in order for possible.catch-ups, for the Ominous Tree Circle-Ring."

> Unless Objected ,Wait for Yukari and Check for Anomalies around here...

>Sakuya nods. "I'm not inclined to do much without Yukari around. She told me this bubble was nothing to worry about, but I'd rather not risk it without her around."
>You wait around. The currents flow gently around you while, the fish keep their distance from the tree. The swaying of the sea flora and the canopy overhead is curious to watch. After a few minutes, a purple gap opens nearby, and Yukari steps out.
>"Ah, there you are," Yukari says. "You've noticed our guests, I hope?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Our... guests?"
>We haven't noticed anything that could be construed as guests have we?

[It's Purvis!]

>"Our... guests?"
>We haven't noticed anything that could be construed as guests have we?

>...You don't think so?

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"What do you mean? Are we not alone in here?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"What do you mean? Are we not alone in here?"

>"Well, to put it bluntly," Yukari says, "Those trees are not in Gensokyo." She gestures toward the unusual tree near Sakuya.
>"Hm," says the maid, looking at it again.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Oh that's what you meant, you had me ready to batten down the hatches for a second there."
>"Sakuya mentioned something about that before, they're trees from the new world? Could that mean that whatever's behind this came from outside Gensokyo?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Oh that's what you meant, you had me ready to batten down the hatches for a second there."
>"Sakuya mentioned something about that before, they're trees from the new world? Could that mean that whatever's behind this came from outside Gensokyo?"

>"It's possible," says Yukari, "But I don't think it's quite so easy. Do keep in mind, practically none of this has any substance."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Hmm. Well, we came to find you for a reason. We managed to find the exact trees that Stargazer was thinking of. It's a ring of trees with heart shaped leaves, and something about it is... off."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Hmm. Well, we came to find you for a reason. We managed to find the exact trees that Stargazer was thinking of. It's a ring of trees with heart shaped leaves, and something about it is... off."

>"How fascinating," says Yukari, "Do tell me more?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Well searching the entire forest top to bottom seemed like it was going to take too long so I started to look for anything out of the ordinary, and I noticed there were some places that the fish were avoiding. Turns out it's this type of tree with heart shaped leaves which Stargazer thought was important. So looking around for more like that we managed to find a cluster of them, and it's nothing concrete but it's a very ominous cluster of trees somehow. I was thinking maybe we should get you to take a look at it."

>"I wondered if the fish weren't worth looking into," says Yukari. "Very good eye. Let's see these cluster, then?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Sure, I should be able to find my way back there."
>Use our expert navigation skills to lead Yukari and Sakuya to the ring of trees.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Sure, I should be able to find my way back there."
>Use our expert navigation skills to lead Yukari and Sakuya to the ring of trees.

>You make your way back westward.
>Through a combination of observing the fish and looking for the length of seaweed you left tied to a tree, it doesn't take more than a few minutes to arrive there.
>Landing near the ring of trees, Yukari says, "Ah, it's a good thing you didn't go in there. It would have taken us ages to find you."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Oh. I uh, almost did. What would have happened?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Oh. I uh, almost did. What would have happened?"

>"Why, you would have go through," says Yukari. "You might as well picked a random rabbit hole a good half hour away to go hide in."

>"Just so," says Yukari. "One way, unless there's some trick to it that I can't see."

>You toss a rock, then fire a little danmaku. In both cases, nothing unusual happens. "Ah, it's not that kind of gateway," says Yukari. "It's not the kind just anything can pass through as it pleases. It takes something more; I don't think it would accept animals, for instance. Though the fish certainly aren't testing it."
