Alice Quest - The Seven Colored Puppeteer's Weekend

[Neovereign]

>"Let's walk and talk, hon,"
>Let's make our way down the mountain toward Kappa town.
>"The mushrooms? The soil, as far as I can tell."

> You start down the mountain, followed closely by Meiling.
> "So no lead, darn... Not even a general area, or where they'd grow most commonly?"
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>Has there been any place where they've been particularly dense?
>Has Marisa found anything, when last we checked?

[Neovereign]

>Has there been any place where they've been particularly dense?
>Has Marisa found anything, when last we checked?

> No.
> You haven't checked in with her in a while. Otherwise, she hasn't last you recall.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Just in the forest. If we find them anywhere else, that would be a discovery."

[Neovereign]

>"Just in the forest. If we find them anywhere else, that would be a discovery."

> "I guess that makes sense."
> A thought comes to mind if the fairies that were hoarding some of them have dwindled the count yet or not... They did give them up to you in the end, but who's to say there won't be other fairies that try one out?
> You're nearing Kappa territory. You should be found out soon enough.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>Let's try to set a course for where we met Nitori last time.
>"I imagine I might have another faerie problem in good time, though. Who knows how long it'll be until they get curious?"

[Neovereign]

>Let's try to set a course for where we met Nitori last time.
>"I imagine I might have another faerie problem in good time, though. Who knows how long it'll be until they get curious?"

> "They're not that troublesome when you reason with them. In fact, if you can manage it, they're helpful allies."
> You try to shift towards where you met Nitori earlier.
> It already feels like you're being watched, so you should be near.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"If you can reason with them, in any event."
>Glance around for kappa.

[Neovereign]

>"If you can reason with them, in any event."
>Glance around for kappa.

> "Sometimes that means letting things go their way."
> There's a couple hiding from your view via trees. Though not well enough.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"You're not wrong, but sometimes that can't be allowed."
>Waggle our fingers in a wave at the kappas. Let's continue toward where we found Nitori.

[Neovereign]

>"You're not wrong, but sometimes that can't be allowed."
>Waggle our fingers in a wave at the kappas. Let's continue toward where we found Nitori.

> "Not allowed? I guess you have frequent bad run ins with them huh?"

> You're not impeded further and manage to reach the society you encountered before with Marisa.
> There's more Kappa than before at the entrance to the production building...
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Bad enough."
>Look around for Nitori. Give little finger waggle waves to any kappa whom we meet eyes with.

[Neovereign]

>"Bad enough."
>Look around for Nitori. Give little finger waggle waves to any kappa whom we meet eyes with.

> You fail to find Nitori in your search around the immediate area. Though at least some of the Kappa do wave back.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Hey, would anyone know where Nitori got off to?"

[Neovereign]

>"Hey, would anyone know where Nitori got off to?"

> "She's inside." One of those blocking the aforementioned entrance points. "She's a bit busy."
> despite saying such, the Kappa does move aside.
> the others seem on the fence on whether they should let you through yet. Then again, you didn't didn't ask to get in just yet.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>Does it seem like we could fit, still?
>"Be so kind as to let her know I'm paying a social?"

[Neovereign]

>Does it seem like we could fit, still?
>"Be so kind as to let her know I'm paying a social?"

> Maybe. Entrance looks a bit bigger. You could probably squeeze in again at this size. Was it changed for you?
> "Paying... what?"
> The Kappa question each other for a couple moments. Something about a commission,  or job...
> "We'll... just let her know you're here." A duo heads inside.
> "You might've confused them a bit with that." Meiling comments. "But they got it right in the end.  ... right?" She doubts her knowledge.
>_

[It's Purvis!]

>"Well, if not, I'm sure we can sort things out. As long as they get her attention."
>Let's try to crouch through that bay door.
