Nitori Quest - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> Are we okay offering warranties/money-back guarantees?

>You would really rather not...especially because it would lead to some cannier customers suggesting that shouldn't pay upfront.

[Kilgamayan]

> "..."
> Purse our lips a bit.
> "...I have to admit, I hadn't really considered that possibility. I just kinda figured no one would ask for anything outlandish."
> Tear our eyes away from the drummer and settle them on the invariably-less-attractive(-not-that-that's-commentary-on-her-appearance-in-a-vacuum) dark-haired kappa.
> "Do you have a request you think has that level of risk?"

> "Do you have a request you think has that level of risk?"

>"I think it'd be really easy to ask for something that you've got a low chance of finding, like some new music boxes or a serpentine belt," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "I suppose I could offer different rates for different levels of promise. I was preparing to negotiate with folks depending on their request anyway."

[It's Purvis!]

>"I see," says the kappa.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah. Really, this entire thing was a why-not whim. I need to go shopping there myself, but it's a bit of a trek, so I figured I'd offer the service."
> Frown and go back to watching the hot drummer lady.
> "Then I found that everyone planned a festival day without me, and now here we are."

>"Weren't you too busy to attend the meeting?" says the dark-haired kappa.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Were we even told there was a meeting?

[It's Purvis!]

> Were we even told there was a meeting?

>You don't think so...

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It would depend on when it was. I wasn't even told one was happening."

[Branneg Xy]

> "It would depend on when it was. I wasn't even told one was happening."

> Also ask to whom we should have gone to be informed about that meetting, or who was involved in the info-spreading, AND what were the important points of that meeting.

>You know how this is supposed to work, word's supposed to be spread a day or two ahead of time, via word of mouth and knocking on doors. There's not really anyone particularly in charge of it, just whoever is there.
>"Really? Maybe you were too busy to bother?" says the dark-haired kappa.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> We haven't been that visibly busy recently, have we?

[It's Purvis!]

> We haven't been that visibly busy recently, have we?

>You don't think so. You've been in the workshop a lot, lately, but that's hardly unusual for a kappa.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I don't think I've been. Maybe everyone just assumed someone else would get to me."
> Frown a bit.
> "Or maybe no one wanted to tell me. I dunno."

>"I thought someone would have," she says. "Otherwise I would have told Miori to do it." Miori being the neighbor she is friends with.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Assess Miori's co-pilot aptitude.
> "Bad luck for me with the first one, then, I guess."
> Gesture to the drummer.
> "At least the view is nice."

> "At least the view is nice."

>Wouldn't trust her; too brash and proud without having earned it.
>"I guess," says the kappa, "Sorry?"
>You gesture toward the Prismrivers. "Well, yeah," She says.
>"Oh, you're a Prismriver fan too?" says the crepe-making kappa to your other side.

[Kilgamayan]

> When was the last time we were given notice about a meeting?

> "They're quality enough, sure, but I could certainly become a big one if they're adding that drummer to their entourage full-time. Her sound with those discs is otherworldly. And not to objectify, but so is she."

>A few months ago? You don't even remember what it was about, some minor thing? Something about one of the old Moriya Projects no one cares about anymore.
>"Oh, you're a Raiko fan," says the crepe-making kappa, as she starts to make a new batch now that the crowd has died a little. "Those drums are so weird, though! I've heard stuff like them in some music box somewhere, though."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How many village happenings since that meeting have seemed like the result of another meeting that we didn't attend? Current festival day aside.

> "...Raiko..."
> Look to the crepe-maker.
> "You wouldn't happen to remember where, would you?"

>"Someone had one," says the Crepes maker. "I don't remember what it was. They're all foreign, you can't tell them apart easily."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm. I'll have to look into that, then. Thanks for the intel."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Hmm. I'll have to look into that, then. Thanks for the intel."

>"So," the dark-haired kappa says, "is there a weight limit on what we can get? Size limit?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we have easy methods at home for transportation of large cargo?

[Branneg Xy]

>"So," the dark-haired kappa says, "is there a weight limit on what we can get? Size limit?"

> Ask her if the main issue is size or weight or the material or particular properties.

[It's Purvis!]

> Do we have easy methods at home for transportation of large cargo?

>Not onhand.

> Ask her if the main issue is size or weight or the material or particular properties.

>"Probably both," says the kappa. "I could use a bunch of tires."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How difficult would it be to transport tires?

[It's Purvis!]

> How difficult would it be to transport tires?

>One would leave your hands full. More would take a wagon or something, which involves pulling a wagon or something up the mountain.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, yeah that would be hard...I can keep an eye out, at least? And let you know if I see any deals that might be worth your time later, or if you're better off shopping here. But I wouldn't be able to grab more than one, and even that would be tough."
