Nitori Quest - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> So this is our fuel, so to speak?

>It is, you are pretty sure. Probably more convenient than having Lady Tenkyuu come and pour in the necessarily power herself.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh. Ohhhh."
> Show Aoi the card with a grin.
> "Our fuel just arrived."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh. Ohhhh."
> Show Aoi the card with a grin.
> "Our fuel just arrived."

>"Huh?" she says, looking at the card, adjusting her glasses, then frowning.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "A delivery of goods from a divine benefactor."

[It's Purvis!]

> "A delivery of goods from a divine benefactor."

>"Huh, okay," she says, clearly not getting it but seemingly willing to go along with it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "She's actually right here on this mountain, though you have to dodge around the war games to get to her. You might get to meet her yourself some time, being a business owner yourself. But yeah, speaking of, get back to your stall if you need to. We can talk more tomorrow."

>"Right, okay," says Aoi, as she steps out. "Until then!"

[Kilgamayan]

> How was/is Aoi's figure, anyway?
> "Have a good one!"

[It's Purvis!]

> How was/is Aoi's figure, anyway?
> "Have a good one!"

>Nothing to write home about, really.
>You are left alone. For all of a minute, before you hear more footsteps, and Momiji appears around the bend. "Hey!" she calls.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hey! I swear, it's like everyone organized beforehand so you'd all get your own separate turns with me. Not that I mind not having to entertain different guests here for different reasons, of course."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Hey! I swear, it's like everyone organized beforehand so you'd all get your own separate turns with me. Not that I mind not having to entertain different guests here for different reasons, of course."

>"You invited me, you know," Momiji says, as she walks into your workshop. "Oh, so that's the thing, right?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "It is! And I just got my fuel source and one co-pilot agreement, so all that's left is some final tune-ups and plotting a travel path tonight."

[It's Purvis!]

> "It is! And I just got my fuel source and one co-pilot agreement, so all that's left is some final tune-ups and plotting a travel path tonight."

>"It's all coming together so quickly," Momiji says as she examines the rocket. "So you'll be lifting off tomorrow?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's the hope."

[It's Purvis!]

> "That's the hope."

>She nods. "I'll see about coming around every so often and making sure faeries haven't broken in or anything."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That'd be greatly appreciated. I'd invite you along, but I imagine getting the time off on such short notice would be really difficult."

[It's Purvis!]

> "That'd be greatly appreciated. I'd invite you along, but I imagine getting the time off on such short notice would be really difficult."

>"Completely impossible," she says. "I wouldn't want to be stuck in there, anyways. So, we going to get dinner?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure. Aoi left shortly before you arrived, so hopefully she's got her stand up and running again."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Sure. Aoi left shortly before you arrived, so hopefully she's got her stand up and running again."

>"What's she selling?" says Momiji.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Braised cucumbers, and they're great. Already had some earlier today, have no problem having more."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Braised cucumbers, and they're great. Already had some earlier today, have no problem having more."

>"Sounds alright, but maybe we ought to look around a bit more?" Momiji says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How on- or off-limits are Momiji's wolf features, e.g. scratching behind her ears or stroking her tail?
> "Sure, if you want. There's a crepe maker right next to her, just for one thing."

> "Sure, if you want. There's a crepe maker right next to her, just for one thing."

>It's about like someone scratching behind your ears.
>"Oh, that sounds nice."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Have we ever done either of those things to her?
> Do we know how she feels about the ideas in general?

[It's Purvis!]

> Have we ever done either of those things to her?
> Do we know how she feels about the ideas in general?

>No.
>You know she doesn't like being regarded as a dog rather than a tengu. You expect she wouldn't want anyone she wasn't extremely close doing that.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "There's probably even more than that, I just haven't really investigated all that much. So no time for that like the present! Let's get out of here."
> Head outside, closing up our house once we're both out. Then guide Momiji to roughly where we set up shop earlier!

>"I figure there's got to be something," she says.
>You close up and head back toward the festival. The crepes start is going strong; Aoi's stand is opened with a decent line, but it seems like she is in the process of getting a batch of cucumbers braised up to serve. The Prismrivers are currently taking a break.

> "Here we are! You can take the lead from here, you're taller and better at seeing things than me, so find something you like."

>"Anything you're interested in?" Momiji says, as she glances around.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Nah, I trust ya."
