Nitori Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> If it is just an optional additional help,then let's get to work on the " Nitori-Kappa-Crafted Yarn Winder "for Orihime about her weaving & sewing.

>You set to work, laying in bed while you do. Really, this isn't a hard problem. Ultimately it's just a gearbox to attach to a pedal, and who doesn't love making a gearbox? You set to work on it with a clear plan in mind, applying gears to take a single pedal and turn it into spin to maximize her speed without flooding her with too much. You got a good look at her pace (worryingly fast) and find the differential you need to match it easily enough.
>You open your eyes. It is morning. There is a mostly done gearbox by your bedside, having fallen away. ...Oh.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Whoops.
> How salvageable is it?
> How much longer would we need to complete it?

[It's Purvis!]

> ...Whoops.
> How salvageable is it?
> How much longer would we need to complete it?

>It's always embarrassing when this happens...
>At a glance, it seems fine. It doesn't look like it fell apart.
>Probably a few minutes, if you got the gears like you want them.

[Kilgamayan]

> Let's just finish it off once we've shaken the sleep from our brain, then.

> Let's just finish it off once we've shaken the sleep from our brain, then.

>You give yourself a minute to wake up, and finishing putting together the gear box. Testing the gears, they give what you think is the correct amount of spin. Finding the housing is simple, and you have a connector more or less ready to go.
>You obtain: Spindle Spinner

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Phew, okay.
> Set it aside and get prepared for the day. If there's a mirror on this room, make sure to take the opportunity to get a good look at ourselves in some state of undress, to see how our new hair goes with our body.

>Your hair is certainly aesthetically pleasing, it frames you nicely. And also kind of tangled. You're going to need longer to brush it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Oh, right. Let's get on that, then!

[It's Purvis!]

> Oh, right. Let's get on that, then!

>It takes you a bit to brush it, but it helps you can just sit down, rest your hair on your lap, and work it that way.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Great! Finish that off, and then get fully dressed and ready before heading out of the room.

[It's Purvis!]

> Great! Finish that off, and then get fully dressed and ready before heading out of the room.

>You finish up for the day and head out. You note the stocking is still dangling from Koakuma's door. Presumably this means she is still asleep. (Or she possibly forgot it, that is certainly plausible). It is hard to tell whether Aoi is here or not. the house is quiet.

[Kilgamayan]

> Retrieve the Spindle Spinner if we forgot it (oops).
> Then head off to the looming area where Otohime was last night.

> Retrieve the Spindle Spinner if we forgot it (oops).
> Then head off to the looming area where Otohime was last night.

>You make your way outside, and see the sky has brightened considerably since last night; you can't really tell what time it is. Though the sky is blue, it is a kind of darkish blue through which some of the brighter stars shine through.
>You head toward the outdoor loom, and are not surprised to find that Orihime is there. You almost suspect she's been there all night, but she has changed into brighter clothes since then. "Ah," she says as you approach, not looking up from her work. "It is nearly time for breakfast, I imagine."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I'm guessing I'm the first one, huh. ...Did you sleep at all?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "I'm guessing I'm the first one, huh. ...Did you sleep at all?"

>"Of course," the goddess says. "I went to sleep not long after you did."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh. That's some dedication, then. Then again, I'm not exactly innocent of this sort of thing myself."
> Offer the Spindle Spinner.
> "Thank you for opening your home to us."

> "Thank you for opening your home to us."

>She looks over, and frowns thoughtfully at your gift.
>"What is it?" she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "A spindle spinner, for winding yarn."

[It's Purvis!]

> "A spindle spinner, for winding yarn."

>She takes it into her hands, and experiments with turning to gearbox input, then raises her eyebrows slightly as she watches the spindle housing turn.
>"Oh, this seems quite handy," she says. "I shall gratefully accept this."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You're quite welcome."

[It's Purvis!]

> "You're quite welcome."

>She sets it aside, and stands, and says, "Let us seek out breakfast."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Sure."

>She finishes a few more weaves, leaving her current project at a good place, then rises to her feet and makes her way toward the dining hall again, gesturing for you to follow. "I quite appreciate your gift," she says. "I think it may help me quite a bit."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Follow!
> "That's what I'm hoping for."

[It's Purvis!]

> Follow!
> "That's what I'm hoping for."

>"I am curious how you were inspired to do such a thing," says the goddess, as she leads the way toward the dining hall. The doors have been slid open, you notice.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I just like makin' things, and I had a random bolt of inspiration last night. I'm not even sure myself what brought it on. Much like growing my hair out, or, uh, the other thing I mentioned. Maybe my muse is getting weird. ...Weirder."

>She gives a polite and appreciative chuckle as she glides into the hall. Places have been set for everyone.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "For what it's worth, I don't know if either of the others are up yet."

[It's Purvis!]

> "For what it's worth, I don't know if either of the others are up yet."

>"One is on her way," says Orihime, as she makes her way to the head of the table.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Should I go wake up the other?"
