Seija Quest 4

> Look at the Princess, grin slightly, and gently place a finger to our lips in a "shush" pose.
> Then look back to Sanae.
> "So how long does this last?"

> Then look back to Sanae.
> "So how long does this last?"

> The Princess smirks, but you get no response from Sanae.

[Kilgamayan]

> Look back to the Princess.
> "Well. This little fairy sees a giant shrine maiden ripe for the pranking. What do you think?"

[Tom]

> Look back to the Princess.
> "Well. This little fairy sees a giant shrine maiden ripe for the pranking. What do you think?"

> Shinmyoumaru nods furiously!

[Kilgamayan]

> What sorts of actions are generally off-limits for pranking someone like this?
> Is there anything the Princess would specifically not approve of?

[Tom]

> What sorts of actions are generally off-limits for pranking someone like this?
> Is there anything the Princess would specifically not approve of?

> Depends on what might incur Sanae's or Kanako and Suwako's wrath?
> You're not sure, you recall her one sticking all the furniture in your room on the ceiling one time... That's probably the farthest she'd go.

[Kilgamayan]

> Where would mildly lewd acts fall on that spectrum? (Obviously anything outright explicit is over the line.)

> Do we think we could fit inside Sanae's mouth at these relative sizes? If so, it is presently open or closed?

> Is there a drawing marker or something similar anywhere nearby and obvious?

> Is there a drawing marker or something similar anywhere nearby and obvious?

> Shinmyoumaru wouldn't approve.
> Not in the slightest, you're about the same size as Shanghai and Iris.
> You can't find anything of that sort in the room.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is it curfew yet?

> Are there any living creatures we see regularly that are small enough that we could fit inside Sanae's mouth if we were their size? If not, are there any household objects around the room small enough for that?

> Frown a bit after looking around.
> "Hmm. I was going to suggest scribbling on her face, since that's always good for a laugh, but I don't know that we have a marker for that."

> It most certainly is!

> There's a few small perfume bottles on the table you could try playing around with? Though, you're not sure if using magic beyond a fairy's capabilities will break the disguise...

> After staring at you for a moment, the Princess whacks the floor with a devious grin using the Miracle Mallet and you immediately feel weightless. It's like you don't need to expend energy just to hover.

[Kilgamayan]

> Have a look at how Sanae is affected by this.

[Tom]

> Have a look at how Sanae is affected by this.

> Nothing's affected ..yet! It's only weightlessness, nothing is being pushed upward.

[Kilgamayan]

> Move over to Sanae and try lifting her.

[Tom]

> Move over to Sanae and try lifting her.

> It's quite easy!

[Kilgamayan]

> Rotate her so she's upside-down.

[Tom]

> Rotate her so she's upside-down.

> You spin Sanae upside down, she's now 'balancing' on her head.
> Shinmyoumaru laughs "Now's our chance to rack up a giant room service bill!"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, that's not a bad idea. Though, how long will this mallet effect last? We probably don't want her to suddenly come crashing down directly on her head."

[Tom]

> "Oh, that's not a bad idea. Though, how long will this mallet effect last? We probably don't want her to suddenly come crashing down directly on her head."

> "I-I'll keep it going while you're away! I'll be down in the lobby reading something interesting I found on alchemy."

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Alrighty. And feel free to order us up something good to tack onto her tab."
> Head out, and sneak off to the curio shop to investigate!

[Tom]

> Nod.
> "Alrighty. And feel free to order us up something good to tack onto her tab."
> Head out, and sneak off to the curio shop to investigate!

> Shinmyoumaru nods as you carefully float out the window to avoid being spotted by anyone in the common areas. A few short minutes later you arrive at Kourindou. The entrance appears locked and all the 'windows' on the ground floor appear to be display cases which can't be opened from the outside. Looking up you spot two smaller normal windows on the roof where the attic should be, and a chimney you might be able to enter from.

[Kilgamayan]

> Float up to those windows first, and have a peek inside each to see if the shopkeeper is present in either of them.

[Tom]

> Float up to those windows first, and have a peek inside each to see if the shopkeeper is present in either of them.

> The coast is clear!

[Kilgamayan]

> Up to the chimney, then! If it's open enough for us to dive down into it, do so.

[Tom]

> Up to the chimney, then! If it's open enough for us to dive down into it, do so.

> You dive down the chimney and find yourself some distance behind the counter the shopkeeper was sitting at earlier. It's strangely tidy here compared to the rest of the store...

[Kilgamayan]

> Okay. The store allegedly acquired a wall mirror, 55 gallons of kerosene, and a bunch of silverware from Yakumo. Are any of those things visible from our current vantage point?
> Does there appear to be a door to a back room, or something similar?

> Okay. The store allegedly acquired a wall mirror, 55 gallons of kerosene, and a bunch of silverware from Yakumo. Are any of those things visible from our current vantage point?
> Does there appear to be a door to a back room, or something similar?

> You don't recall seeing it in the store, and you doubt any of it would fit in the numerous drawers and cabinets of the counter in front of you.
> Yes! There's one just to the side of the fireplace!

[Kilgamayan]

> Try (quietly) opening the door.

[Tom]

> Try (quietly) opening the door.

> Despite trying to open the door as slowly as possible it grinds harshly against the floor! In fact you can clearly tell it's swing path by looking at where the floor has become polished from years of use.
> You find yourself in a storeroom surrounded by shelves that stretch up to the ceiling. There's various odd but interesting items placed on them, you haven't the slightest idea what their significance or purpose is. In one corner is an odd metallic barrel, hiding something covered with cloth. The only thing illuminating the room other than moonlight  is a faintly glowing crystal ball, displayed prominently on the shelf directly across from you. On the other side of the room the shelves have a grid-like design with countless small squares, some of which have a bottle inside.

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we above thievery, or are finders truly keepers?

> Take a moment to listen for any activity in the building, in case that grinding woke someone up.
> If we don't hear anything, have a look at the crystal ball.

> If we don't hear anything, have a look at the crystal ball.

> It wouldn't be the first time, but you try to avoid it!
> You don't hear anything moving.
> As you approach the crystal ball you notice the glowing patterns inside change to the outline of a mirror.
