Nitori Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah."
> Show off our telescope.
> "There are stars missing from the Tsurube-Otoshi and Daitengu Constellations, at the very least."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Yeah."
> Show off our telescope.
> "There are stars missing from the Tsurube-Otoshi and Daitengu Constellations, at the very least."

>"I...uh...don't know stars all that well," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm. Well, I've reached an agreement with one of the Daitengu to investigate and do my best to return their constellation's missing star while I'm up in space. My original space missions are still active, but that one's been added, and I wanted to let you know about it now rather than surprising you with it tomorrow morning, in case it changed your thoughts on the trip."

>"I guess it doesn't change much," she says. "Unless you want me to fight whoever took it? I'm not much good at that."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I genuinely don't know right now what returning the stars is going to entail."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I genuinely don't know right now what returning the stars is going to entail."

>"Okay. I'm not much of a fighter, but I'm sure I can pitch in other ways!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Alright, as long as you're fine with it, it shouldn't be a problem."

[It's Purvis!]

> Nod.
> "Alright, as long as you're fine with it, it shouldn't be a problem."

>"It's an important mystery, right?" says Aoi.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Very."

>She nods. "I'll do my best."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Alright. I'll try to keep you posted if anything else zany happens between now and tomorrow morning."

[Branneg Xy]

> "Yeah."
> Show off our telescope.
> "There are stars missing from the Tsurube-Otoshi and Daitengu Constellations, at the very least."

> "Alright. I'll try to keep you posted if anything else zany happens between now and tomorrow morning."

> After we parted from Aoi, decide to set aside some time to "astronomically check out again the Missing Stars Constellations and the Intact Others".

>When would be the best and earliest time for that?

[It's Purvis!]

> "Alright. I'll try to keep you posted if anything else zany happens between now and tomorrow morning."

>"Tell me tomorrow when I show up. I need my evening to get ready."

> After we parted from Aoi, decide to set aside some time to "astronomically check out again the Missing Stars Constellations and the Intact Others".

>When would be the best and earliest time for that?

>In theory, the best times are not long after sunset and not long before sunrise, to see as much of the sky as you can. You suspect you may miss the latter due to staying up to finish the rocket.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure thing."
> Take a glance over at the crepe line.

[It's Purvis!]

> "Sure thing."
> Take a glance over at the crepe line.

>Koa is about halfway through it now.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Anyway, I'll leave you to that while I wait for Koa to get through her line. Oh, right, she'll be coming with us tomorrow."
> Gesture at Koa so Aoi knows who we're talking about.

> "Anyway, I'll leave you to that while I wait for Koa to get through her line. Oh, right, she'll be coming with us tomorrow."
> Gesture at Koa so Aoi knows who we're talking about.

>"Oh, is she some kind of star specialist?" Aoi says, looking at Koa.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Nah, but she's got intel on the other team, and is intimately familiar with how they act."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Nah, but she's got intel on the other team, and is intimately familiar with how they act."

>"Oooooh," says Aoi. "...Wait, did they steal the stars?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...I don't think so, but I guess it's not impossible? We could ask her what she thinks."

[It's Purvis!]

> "...I don't think so, but I guess it's not impossible? We could ask her what she thinks."

>"So we're still doing the race thing, too?" she says. "Okay."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Yeah, I got too much at stake to back out."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Yeah, I got too much at stake to back out."

>"That's a tough order," she says. "But I'm not about to give up."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Grin.
> "Damn right. Me neither."

[It's Purvis!]

> Grin.
> "Damn right. Me neither."

>"I'll see you tomorrow, then," Aoi says, as she finishes folding up her stand.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Catch you then."
> Awkwardly loiter near the crepe line in wait for Koa.

[It's Purvis!]

> "Catch you then."
> Awkwardly loiter near the crepe line in wait for Koa.

>You loiter until Koa gets through the line. Thankfully she doesn't cause any kind of scene, and leaves with a crepe in hand. "All done?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "All done. We can head back now, unless there's something else you want to do here."

[It's Purvis!]

> "All done. We can head back now, unless there's something else you want to do here."

>"It'd be fun to go around the festival, actually," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Alright. I'll work on the final prep while you're out and about here, then."
