Nitori Quest 2 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> "A place called the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Koa's actually from there, she can tell you more about it when she gets here."

[It's Purvis!]

> "A place called the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Koa's actually from there, she can tell you more about it when she gets here."

>She frowns for a moment, then says, "Ah, I meant to ask about the destination. Though I would hear of this mansion as well, if you would?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, sorry. I'm currently thinking of traveling to where the star in the Daitengu Constellation should be, to see if anything was left behind that might be a clue as to where it went, or who or what is responsible. As for the mansion, it's run by a vampire and her staff, which includes a librarian that's...honestly, just imagine me if I were a little more serious and had purple hair, and that's close enough. My understanding is that Koa works under her directly."

>Orihime nods. "I am not familiar with some of those things, but it sounds fascinating."
>"Who'm I working?" Koa says, drifting in as you conclude the story. She is still wearing the layers of kimonos from last night, now a bit more properly. The effect is...not quite as far as taste of elegant, but kind of approaching the concepts.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Our host is asking about the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Our host is asking about the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

>"Oh, yeah, that place," says Koa as she plops down next to you.
>"Miss Kawashiro mentioned a librarian?" Orihime says.
>"That'd be the purple monster," says Koa, "She's cute, but don't let that fool you! Weirdo and slave driver."
>Orihime seems amused by this. "I'm sure she has her good points as well?"
>"Yeah, somewhere," says Koa. "The library's real neat."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, now I feel a bit silly comparing her to myself."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Well, now I feel a bit silly comparing her to myself."

>"Hah, you're way different," Koa says.
>"I do wonder," Orihime says, "How have those vestments served you?"
>"Oh, they're great!" she says. 'Thanks for the loan!"
>"Think nothing of it," says Orihime, "I'm sure they served you splendidly."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, did you make those?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh, did you make those?"

>"That is so," says the goddess. "I am quite pleased with them."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I certainly would be if I made them."

[It's Purvis!]

> Nod.
> "I certainly would be if I made them."

>"Yeah, I asked if I could borrow something comfortable, and she had just the thing," says Koa "Jealous~?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Not at all. I'm actually glad you got your own treasure out of this trip. Hopefully the trend continues."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Not at all. I'm actually glad you got your own treasure out of this trip. Hopefully the trend continues."

>"C'mon, you're supposed to be jealous!" Koa says.
>Orihime chuckles a little, covering her mouth with dye-stained fingers.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I mean, I certainly wouldn't say no if I were offered some."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I mean, I certainly wouldn't say no if I were offered some."

>"Ah, how subtle," Orihime says.
>Now it is Koa's turn to snicker; she is much less demure about it than the goddess is.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look slightly unsure of ourselves.
> "I feel like I've been set up somehow."

[It's Purvis!]

> Look slightly unsure of ourselves.
> "I feel like I've been set up somehow."

>"I shouldn't think so," says Orihime, and Koa smirks and starts on her breakfast.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Might as well get started on eating as well.

[It's Purvis!]

> Might as well get started on eating as well.

>You start on breakfast, it as nice as you'd expect. The fish have kind of a curious, though not unpleasant, taste to them that suggest perhaps they were taken from the nearby river.
>"I do not think I know about about the daitengu constellation," says Orihime as she dines. "I certainly can't recall anyone of note living there."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm. What about the tsuribe otoshi constellation?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Hmm. What about the tsuribe otoshi constellation?"

>"If I recall properly, Lady Ojin Hachi keeps a mansion and tends to her fields there."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Who is Ojin Hachi?

[It's Purvis!]

> Who is Ojin Hachi?

>You...think that is a goddess of war and agriculture, who might've been one of the emperor beforehand?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "That sounds like a worthwhile visit to me."

[It's Purvis!]

> Nod.
> "That sounds like a worthwhile visit to me."

>"I should tell you, then, that she is not a particularly sociably person."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh."
> "Would she at least be cordial enough to talk about the star missing from the tsuribe otoshi constellation, maybe?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh."
> "Would she at least be cordial enough to talk about the star missing from the tsuribe otoshi constellation, maybe?"

>Orihime pauses, letting her chopsticks rest on her lip as she considers.
>"I...don't know how she would react to that," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm. I'll dwell on whether or not I want to take the chance, then."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Mmm. I'll dwell on whether or not I want to take the chance, then."

>"Are we confident would could take someone like that?" Aoi says. "Because I'm not."
