Nitori Quest - A Z-Machine Adventure

> "Sure thing. Any particular preferences, like volume?"
> While speaking, write 'Human Friend - Black tea' in our notebook.

>"A few pounds, please," he says. "It would be nice for it to last awhile."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Add ", a few pounds" to the end of the old man's note.
> "You got it, friend. Any other details?"

> "You got it, friend. Any other details?"

>"That should be fine," he says. "It isn't good to be too picky."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Understood. Where would you like it delivered?"

[It's Purvis!]

> Nod.
> "Understood. Where would you like it delivered?"

>"It shouldn't be any trouble for me to pick it up, I think," he says. "How's the big project coming along?" You know you haven't told him about it that, so he must have heard it through the cucumber vine.

[Kilgamayan]

> Add ', will find me to pick up' to the old man's note.
> "Really close to ready. Just need a couple final things, one of which is why I'm headed to Kourindou in the first place. Once I have 'em, it shouldn't take me more than an hour or two to finish off."

>"It sounds exciting," he says. "Best of luck! How much do I owe you, young lady?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thanks! Cost of materials plus 5% sound fair?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Thanks! Cost of materials plus 5% sound fair?"

>"That sounds just fine," he says, smiling. "I'll leave you to it, then."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Splendid! Pleasure doing business. I'll keep you posted if anything unexpected happens."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Splendid! Pleasure doing business. I'll keep you posted if anything unexpected happens."

>"Thank you," he says with a bow, before trundling off elsewhere.
>With that exchange done, you notice things have gotten a bit quieter. Ah, the Prismrivers seem to have finished their set, and are taking a break by the looks of it.

[Kilgamayan]

> How are we feeling about two extra errands for people we reasonably enjoy as enough extra justification for the long trip to Kourindou?

[It's Purvis!]

> How are we feeling about two extra errands for people we reasonably enjoy as enough extra justification for the long trip to Kourindou?

>Depends on the scale of the requests.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, specifically using the two requests we've received so far. Do we feel we need to take on more to justify the trip, or is this enough?

>Do you?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Yeah, this is probably enough. Especially if we tack on that tire hunt.
> "Mmm, I think that'll do. Sorry for the encroachment, ladies. I'll get out of your hair."
> Break down shop and bring our cart back home.

>"It was a little cramped, but it's okay," says the dark-haired kappa.
>"I suppose I can accept it if you're a Raiko fan," says the crepes seller.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, absolutely."
> Bring the cart back home.

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh, absolutely."
> Bring the cart back home.

>You depart, returning your stand back home. It's somewhat slower going, due to going uphill, but you get it there in good time and without any problem. It seems like things are fine around the warehouse, as well. Fairly quiet, given most people are at the market.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How much does black tea typically go for?
> Put the stand away wherever it goes and head back inside proper.

> How much does black tea typically go for?

>You put the stand away outside for now; you doubt anyone is going to take it, and head back inside. Things are as you left them.
>You don't know off the top of your head. But it shouldn't be terribly expensive? Maybe a little difficult to find, but you don't expect it to be actually be hard.

[Kilgamayan]

> Grab an extra 50☼, then, just to be safe.
> Then return to the market on foot, checking to see if the musicians (well, the hot redhead specifically) are still on break.

>You grab some extra money, and return back to the Market. The crowds are a bit worse now, and the Prismrivers are not playing at the moment. They seem to be fiddling around on stage. Save for Lyrica, who is currently enjoying a crepe.

[Kilgamayan]

> So what is our general backpack situation? Do we only have the one, or do we have different ones of different sizes?
> How large is the largest backpack we own? Consider the general size, as well as whether or not we could fit a tire in it.
> Would our backpack keep contents safe and dry if we swam in the river with it?

> Is our Exteeeeeending Aaaaaarm purely a spell card gimmick? Or do we have a device that can extend and grab? Or would our arms really change sizes if someone pulled on one, like some legends say about kappa biology?

> Is the stage work the band is currently doing instrumental, or is it wiring work or something else up our alley?
> What is Raiko specifically doing?

> What is Raiko specifically doing?

>You have a few different backpacks. The one you have now is your general one, large but not too large. Your largest is currently housing some experimental technology, the helicopter hover and your water gun system and such. It's also kind of a pain to carry around, and doesn't work well with your spell cards.
>Your backpack is waterproof! Provided it is properly closed.
>You do have an extending arm as part of the aforementioned system your largest backpack houses. It is not something you can do personally.
>It seems like they're just getting the stage ready.
>Raiko seems to be looking over her drums, perhaps to see if they need any maintenance?

[Kilgamayan]

> What was the most recent major incident that we got dragged into?

[It's Purvis!]

> What was the most recent major incident that we got dragged into?

>The whole thing with the Yorigami Sisters. You tried to stay on the periphery of that, with only some success.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What is the crowd around them like? Are they being socially engaged by anyone, or are they being left alone to their work?

[It's Purvis!]

> What is the crowd around them like? Are they being socially engaged by anyone, or are they being left alone to their work?

>It seems that Lunasa is chatting with a kappa who has dyed her hair red. Otherwise they are being left alone.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Well. She who hesitates is lost!
> Head toward the redhead (without getting up on the stage, obviously). Give her a smile and a wave if she happens to look in our direction.
