Seija Quest 2

[Kilgamayan]

> "It's nothing against you, I promise. If you have extensive knowledge of dolls, though, I can ask both of you."

[Tom]

> "It's nothing against you, I promise. If you have extensive knowledge of dolls, though, I can ask both of you."

> "Fine, I know nothing about dolls"
> She waltzes back up the steps and disappears towards the shrine

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back to Alice.
> "Sorry about that. Didn't mean to offend your conversation partner."

[Tom]

> Look back to Alice.
> "Sorry about that. Didn't mean to offend your conversation partner."

> She whispers "No worries she can be quite demanding with all the questions"

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise our voice just a little bit, so Reimu and Youmu can still hear, but no one else will hear.
> "Anyway, keep this on the down-low, but we...have reason to believe Marisa might have been responsible for that explosion."

[Tom]

> Raise our voice just a little bit, so Reimu and Youmu can still hear, but no one else will hear.
> "Anyway, keep this on the down-low, but we...have reason to believe Marisa might have been responsible for that explosion."

> Surprised she waves dismissively
> "M-Marisa? No way"
> She looks at Reimu
> "Isn't s-she like your b-best friend? How are you letting these Y-youkai suspect her?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Look, I know, I know. But the information we've found has really narrowed down who could possibly be responsible. She's one of the extreme few that could possibly have known everything necessary to do what's been done. But I'm not sure just yet."
> "When I got here, she was playing with a doll right by the donation box. It might've been Iris, or it might've been her setting something up. Were you aware of any dolls neat the donation box this afternoon, Iris or otherwise?"

[Tom]

> "I don't know anything about a doll near the donation box but two of my dolls have gone missing tonight..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hrm. Would they have been useful to someone trying to blow up the donation box?"

[Tom]

> "Hrm. Would they have been useful to someone trying to blow up the donation box?"

> Intrigued she explains "Possibly, their cores are made of gunpowder due to it's magical conductivity"
> "But I doubt Marisa would ever hurt my dolls! They're too cute!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "You know about gunpowder?"

[Tom]

> Raise an eyebrow.
> "You know about gunpowder?"

> Alice waves "I use it in my dolls to enhance their magical enchantments and make them more autonomous"
> She explains "It's somewhat like precious gems and metals which conduct magical energy but much lighter and easier to work with"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Does Marisa know about gunpowder?"

[Tom]

> "Does Marisa know about gunpowder?"

> Alice chuckles "Haven't you seen her amazing fireworks shows? They're unlike anything you could make with just danmaku"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hm. I ask because we found gunpowder was used to make that explosion, and presumably not everyone here tonight is an expert with it or has easy access to it."
> Address Reimu.
> "That Mr. Rinnosuke guy...would he know about gunpowder, or that hatch?"

[Tom]

> "Hm. I ask because we found gunpowder was used to make that explosion, and presumably not everyone here tonight is an expert with it or has easy access to it."
> Address Reimu.
> "That Mr. Rinnosuke guy...would he know about gunpowder, or that hatch?"

> Reimu answers "I don't think he knows about the hatch..."
> Alice chuckles "As for the gunpowder? Let's just say there's a reason no one steals from Rinnosuke"

[Kilgamayan]

> "That hatch is enough to disqualify him from being the culprit."
> Address Alice again.
> "Look, I might as well lay the cards on the table. Based on everything we've found that the culprit would have to know about, they have to be either Marisa or Mima. ...Or Reimu herself, I guess."

[Tom]

> "That hatch is enough to disqualify him from being the culprit."
> Address Alice again.
> "Look, I might as well lay the cards on the table. Based on everything we've found that the culprit would have to know about, they have to be either Marisa or Mima. ...Or Reimu herself, I guess."

> Your heart skips a beat with the death glare Reimu gives you upon mentioning her name
> Alice sighs "Look I really don't think Marisa would do something like this to Reimu"
> "A-aren't the two of you like a thing amyways?"
> Your heart skips another beat just seeing the death glare she gave Alice upon mentioning that...

> Somewhat startled she continues "Umm I'd rather blame that ghost than Marisa, she's always scheming you know..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "It could certainly be her instead. I only leaned toward Marisa because she was fooling around near the box when I arrived."

[Tom]

> "It could certainly be her instead. I only leaned toward Marisa because she was fooling around near the box when I arrived."

> Alice agrees and Reimu rolls her eyes
> The shrine maiden remarks "Well let's just ask both of them then?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure, I'm down for that. We could even bring the celestial along."

[Tom]

> "Sure, I'm down for that. We could even bring the celestial along."

> Alice replies "Sure!"
> Reimu rolls her eyes once more and steps away to find Tenshi, returning shortly after with celestial in hand

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we see Marisa or Mima from where we are?
> Address Tenshi.
> "Sorry about that. We're good now, though."

[Tom]

> Can we see Marisa or Mima from where we are?

> No

> Address Tenshi.
> "Sorry about that. We're good now, though."

> The celestial mockingly sticks out her tongue at Reimu and you
> Already annoyed the shrine maiden responds by twisting her arm before leaving for to top of the steps

[Kilgamayan]

> "Wait, red-white, before you leave."

[Tom]

> "Wait, red-white, before you leave."

> "Huh?" She turns around

[Kilgamayan]

> "I'm thinking maybe we should split into two groups. One to talk to Marisa and Mima, and the other to see if they can find those missing dolls Alice mentioned. If nothing else, I worry that going after them with a large group might put them on guard and maybe even make them hostile."

[Tom]

> "I'm thinking maybe we should split into two groups. One to talk to Marisa and Mima, and the other to see if they can find those missing dolls Alice mentioned. If nothing else, I worry that going after them with a large group might put them on guard and maybe even make them hostile."

> The shrine maiden's mood quickly recovers "Oh why didn't I think of that?"

> She continues "Tenshi, Alice and Youmu you go talk to Marisa and that ghost"
> She points at you "And we'll go look for those dolls~!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod to Reimu. "You got it, boss."
> Address Youmu: "I suggest letting Alice do the primary talking, kiddo. If things get serious, though, make sure to mention the bowl handle going missing and then being found in an underground hatch not many would know about. Remember, there's a very limited number of people here that would know about those things and about gunpowder and the funny liquid you smelled in that bamboo."

> Youmu whispers "I'm sure Alice knows Marisa better than any of us" and winks

> Reimu comments "We only have about a third of the night left, so let's move" before grabbing your hand and leading you up the steps
