Seija Quest 3

[Kilgamayan]

> Look around for the winged woman.

[Tom]

> Look around for the winged woman.

> Taking a moment to look around you manage to spot the lady from earlier just before flying over a small peak and disappearing behind it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Give chase!
> Keep half an eye out for notable landmarks along the way.

[Tom]

> Give chase!
> Keep half an eye out for notable landmarks along the way.

> You follow the winged figure over into a small valley.  In the valley's center is a small pond and next to it is a building reminiscent of the Hakurei Shrine, albeit in worse condition.  The roof has a few holes in it and it's wooden construction looks fairly weathered.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is the woman headed to that building or passing it by?

[Tom]

> Is the woman headed to that building or passing it by?

> You believe she went inside since you can't see her anymore.

[Kilgamayan]

> Head toward the building, then.

[Tom]

> Head toward the building, then.

> You head towards the building and land on the steps infront of it.  The floorboards creak from old age and you can see quite a few cobwebs in various corners.

[Kilgamayan]

> Try sensing inside for that woman.
> Try sensing for anyone else that might be in the building.

[Tom]

> Try sensing inside for that woman.
> Try sensing for anyone else that might be in the building.

> You search for things to swap with and notice a few distinct targets inside.  Only one appears to be moving around through, and it's to the left of the sliding entrance door.

[Kilgamayan]

> Enter and head in the direction of the moving target.

[Tom]

> Enter and head in the direction of the moving target.

> You slide the door open and notice the place is quite run down.  Even your hideout is nicer than this!
> As you enter and look in the direction of the figure you spot a shadow moving like a blur to the far side of the room.  From it emerges the lady from before, pointing her staff menacingly towards you...

[Kilgamayan]

> "Wait, please! I need help!"

[Tom]

> "Wait, please! I need help!"

> The lady eyes you carefully before lowering her staff slightly.
> She states "You... are not my target." in a commanding voice.

[Kilgamayan]

> Phew...
> "I should hope not...I don't even know who you are, or where I am."

[Tom]

> Phew...
> "I should hope not...I don't even know who you are, or where I am."

> "Why have you followed me of all people?" she continues in a commanding voice.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Because you were the first person I saw."

[Tom]

> "Because you were the first person I saw."

> "What brought you here?  No one inhabits this mountain..." she questions.

[Kilgamayan]

> "...That's...complicated. Basically, I traded places with someone else without knowing where they were."
> "Though that person was from Gensokyo, just like me...but if this is part of Gensokyo, I sure don't recognize it."

[Tom]

> "...That's...complicated. Basically, I traded places with someone else without knowing where they were."
> "Though that person was from Gensokyo, utsu life me...but if this is part of Gensokyo, I sure don't recognize it."

> "Trade... places?  Gensokyo?" the blue lady ponders.  She appears to tense up at the mention of Gensokyo and raises her staff defensively for a second.
> She inquires "What is it you seek from the angel of death?  My intuition tells me you still have much to do, a pivotal role to play in events yet to unfold..."
> You can't help but get a sense of foreboding by the way she worded her comment...

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Hopefully she's predicting we'll win the Iris contest?
> "I'm...just looking for a way to get back home. I don't want any trouble. Given who you've said you are, I don't even want to be bothering you with this, I just don't really have any other options."

[Tom]

> ...Hopefully she's predicting we'll win the Iris contest?
> "I'm...just looking for a way to get back home. I don't want any trouble. Given who you've said you are, I don't even want to be bothering you with this, I just don't really have any other options."

> "If your home is Gensokyo... There is a cave that connects the two worlds, I could lead you to it." she answers.

[Kilgamayan]

> "That would be appreciated. Or even just telling me where to go, if you're busy."

[Tom]

> "That would be appreciated. Or even just telling me where to go, if you're busy."

> She thinks for a moment "I was busy earlier, tracking down someone who wished to evade me.  My intuition however suddenly disappeared... it's as if I was chasing a ghost and they vanished."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh, weird."
> "..."
> "...Uh..."
> "..."
> "...is it...possible that was the person I traded places with...?"

[Tom]

> "Huh, weird."
> "..."
> "...Uh..."
> "..."
> "...is it...possible that was the person I traded places with...?"

> Her eyes widen at the revelation...
> In a commanding voice she demands "Then I shall accompany you, as long as you lead me to the one who seeks to cheat death..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Uh...I can try? We should have traded places, but that happened a number of minutes ago. I can bring you to where I was, but if she's smart, she'll have already moved on from there, and I can't exactly track her."

[Tom]

> "Uh...I can try? We should have traded places, but that happened a number of minutes ago. I can bring you to where I was, but if she's smart, she'll have already moved on from there, and I can't exactly track her."

> "You shall try ...if you are to receive my assistance." she commands

[Kilgamayan]

> "Like I said, I can try."

[Tom]

> "Like I said, I can try."

> The lady lowers her staff and approaches.  She stands an imposing two heads taller than you, without even mentioning the six wings.
> "If I sense you're trying to conceal those who wish to evade me... you shall regret it." she warns.
