Murasa Quest Continues 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

>Head on in and go straight to the library.

[It's Purvis!]

>Head on in and go straight to the library.

>You pass through the main hall, where you note the faerie maid is still lingering, still laying on her belly with her feet kicked up in the air and her paper now covered with fingerprints and other shapes. She doesn't seem to notice you at all.
>The library is also as you left it, which is less surprising. Making your way toward the middle, you see Patchouli hasn't budged an inch; the gem sets at the corner of the table.
>You also note that Shou is here, sprawled across one of the couches. It seems she was reading something, but has since fallen asleep judging from the book covering her face. Additionally, it seem someone has stacked several small tomes on her forehead.

> Approach Shou.

> Do " the stack of several small tomes " on her appears stable enough to be removed 2 piece at a time?

[Yaersulf]

>Gently remove the books from Shou's head, and if that doesn't wake her up give her a poke.
>"Having a cat nap are we?"

[It's Purvis!]

> Approach Shou.

>You could probably get the whole thing pretty easily, they aren't very big.

>Gently remove the books from Shou's head, and if that doesn't wake her up give her a poke.
>"Having a cat nap are we?"

>You lift up the books balanced on her forehead, and are rewarded with a "Mmmrph?"

[Yaersulf]

>"I'm back."
>Put the books on the nearest table and address Patchouli.
>"Is the thingamajig ready?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"I'm back."
>Put the books on the nearest table and address Patchouli.
>"Is the thingamajig ready?"

>"Eh?" Shou says, as she starts to take the book off her face.
>You set the books aside and ask Patchouli. She gestures toward the gem.
>"Do you remember how it works?" Tojiko says.

>Tojiko nods. "Right, just checking."
>...Did she forget herself?
>"Don't use it until you're there," Patchouli says, not looking up. "And it's not the Unseen Clergy, probably. Unless you're saying Suwako was wrong."

// We should make a "final visit" to Eientei...

>...Well,we have means and preparations and group to find out and confirm after crossing over the Tree-Gateway, exploring and with this Monitor&Record Jewel."

> How is Shou faring?

> Apologize to her for the long wait and tell her,and Tojiko of course,that there is still a final visit to make for the final preparations for the departure .

[Yaersulf]

>"Alright, I may as well get this thing used right away so we can get some information."
>Go to take the gem.

// Yes, let us ALL  get to it and go them.

>"I have no idea," Patchouli says.
>Shou is looking around, Bleary-eyed. "Oh, don't worry about," she says through a yawn.

>"Alright, I may as well get this thing used right away so we can get some information."

> Wait a bit for Shou to be fully awake.

> Repeat the invitation ( which is going to be extended to Sakuya as well ) to Shou if she wish to come along with us,or to wait here our return,  till a final visit to make for the final preparations (to Eientei ) and before the departure.

>It takes Shou a few moments to get her bearings. When you make an offer for her to come, she frowns thoughtfully. "Wouldn't I drown without Yukari's help?"
>"Are you able bring other people over?" Tojiko asks.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Uh, good question. Last time I think Yukari just kind of followed me."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Uh, good question. Last time I think Yukari just kind of followed me."

>"Ah, we'll ask her," says Tojiko.
>"We shouldn't bother her," Shou says. "She seems rather testy today."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Alright I'll just get this done for now."
>Do we travel faster by swimming or flying?

[It's Purvis!]

>"Alright I'll just get this done for now."
>Do we travel faster by swimming or flying?

>It would be faster to fly there first.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"I shouldn't be too long, you might want to find Sakuya while I'm gone."
>Leave the mansion and fly to the equivalent location of the ring of trees.

[It's Purvis!]

>"I shouldn't be too long, you might want to find Sakuya while I'm gone."
>Leave the mansion and fly to the equivalent location of the ring of trees.

>"I'll see if I can find her," says Tojiko.
>You depart, leaving the mansion behind; Meiling giving you a wave as you do, and head northward, then a bit eastward. It takes you a couple minutes to find a point that you think it close; the tree line is a little different when it's not caught in the current and when the ring you're looking for isn't actually there. But you think you find an equivalent point, things look familiar.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Concentrate and shift over to the water world.

[It's Purvis!]

>Concentrate and shift over to the water world.

>It takes a few moments of focus, but you're well getting used to it by now.
>Opening your eyes, you can see the flooded world around you, feel that presence is unchanged as always, and see the the ring of trees not too far in front of you.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Swim over to the ring of trees and stay just outside it.
>Activate Patchouli's gem.

// Perhaps a +1 from Eientei, (5 in total),if we receive another willing helper from it besides an helpful item or advice when we go,report back and explain this there , would be too much for Yukari who also has to prepare and pick out the dimensional,intervals to send us on the trip back home... we shall see when we call back and request it of her //

> Think back and consider : Yukari ,together with Sakuya and ourselves,did agree and confirm to made all useful  possible preparations ,bring all fit helping people and made no limitations as far as the possible...thus   she "should" not have issue to "border-insulate and gap-teleport" 2 or 3 more,like Tojiko and Shou, in addition to Sakuya if we explain to her we have to put them and bring along under those category ...

> Shift  "  as spiritually incorporeal as possible " and let our mind and soul be more at peace...

> When we are self-displaced there,locate and navigate close to the "Ominous Circle o' Trees Gateway".

> ...Does something(s) feels different on the way and at the Circle o' Tree Entities ? Ask this to Stargazer both on the way to it and arrived at ait as well.

[Yaersulf]

Iirc we already had Tojiko go and tell Eientei what happened.

[It's Purvis!]

>Swim over to the ring of trees and stay just outside it.
>Activate Patchouli's gem.

>Moving close, you activate the gem.

>You are already pretty close to the trees, and....you aren't sure if anything feels different. You remember that you steps into the ring, just a little, and got a sense that there was something there, something beyond your sense.
>Stargazer is slow to respond, it seems she has been paying little attention to the outside world; she seems to feel more surprised by your words than anything at first. After she sorts herself out, you get a sense of trepidation from her.

[Branneg Xy]

Iirc we already had Tojiko go and tell Eientei what happened.

// I had forgotten about sending her in our place to report back,thanks for the reminder,but what about asking Eientei for a possible additional help after explaining them the latest discoveries,the need for preparations and team-assembly for the "exploring incident-resolving expedition team into a mysterious dimension"? //

>Moving close, you activate the gem.

> If this is the closest we can get and no further for safety...keep holding the Gem out for activation just enough,then pocket it again for deactivation.

> To Stargazer :" Is it still the same sense of " Dread Ominous" from before or do you find it...changed?"

[Yaersulf]

>Wait a couple of minutes where we are.
>Deactivate the gem.
