[Branneg Xy]

> Nod.
> "Good, good. I bet your house will be asking you to pilot their rocket before too long. Just don't forget the temp gauge."

> About that" Scarlet Space Rocket"...

> We did not see any traces of it if we are not mistaken,but...

>...did we know or hear or can we estimate anything about some of their actual course or at least their rough preferences?

[It's Purvis!]

> "Of course. I'm thinking about just the future in this case."

>"Well, maybe," she says. "I'll take you on a ~spin~ on it if the chance comes, huh?"
>You have to at least give her credit for not looking away from the course ahead to give you the saucy look you know she wants to give you.

>...did we know or hear or can we estimate anything about some of their actual course or at least their rough preferences?

>You have not calculated their route, but you could. As far as you know they intend to head straight for the moon, which is a fairly long route.

[It's Purvis!]

> "If the chance comes, sure."

>She gives am earthy little giggle in response.
>As you continue to observe, you have to admit she's surprisingly good at this. She seems to have a good sense of how to deploy the sails and how not to push them to the point of stressing and damaging themselves. You're starting to become confident you can probably leave her to it as long as nothing unusual happens.

[Kilgamayan]

Hmm.

> Quests

[It's Purvis!]

> Quests

>Your Quests are

>The Last Place Uncorrupted by Kappatalism!
>You begun to explore the cosmos! Now you just need to make sure you find more treasure than Scarlet Devil Mansion does and win this competition.
>Pillowy Pinings
>For some reason, you decided your chest wasn’t big enough…
>It’s Not What You Think!
>Lady Hachi is understandably but incorrectly angry at you for thinking you stole her star, and perhaps correctly angry for your approach and then fleeing. You’ll probably want to settle that.

[Kilgamayan]

> Look over to Aoi.
> "Anything small and easy I can tinker up that might make food prep easier on you?"

//Would be ok if I'll join? It looks interesting but it's honestly first time when I'm engaged in text quests.

This game is open and anyone is welcome to join or leave at any time! Just make sure* to observe basic etiquette with your fellow players and the GM.

*This is said as a player and not as a moderator, as I assume things will not get to the point where a moderator needs to step in.

Ok then, I got it, thanks for clarification!

[It's Purvis!]

As long as you don't come in with the notion of trying to nosedive everything (a problem in the past), it's all good

> Look over to Aoi.
> "Anything small and easy I can tinker up that might make food prep easier on you?"

>"If you could work up something that'd help keep things stable when the ship rocks, it would help," Aoi says. "The wok wants to slide around sometimes."

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> Take a minute to brainstorm what we might be able to cook up to do what Aoi is asking with the trinkets we have on-hand. Keep an eye on the sails as we do, now that Koa is off duty in that regard.

>Sail duty is fairly light stuff, you should be able to do both at once.
>Looking at the problem, you think the best thing to do would be to make a way to attach cookware to the stove. It will slow down the cooking process a bit, since it will have to be attached and unattached, but it should be reasonably simple.

[Kilgamayan]

> What sort of stove and cookware are we talking about here?

[It's Purvis!]

> What sort of stove and cookware are we talking about here?

>The stove is a simple woodburning stove, the cookware being a wok and some pans

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Would some sort of fasteners work, with parts affixed to the stove and parts affixed to the cookware?
> Alternatively, what about stationary hooks affixed to the stove that can latch onto the cookware?

> Alternatively, what about stationary hooks affixed to the stove that can latch onto the cookware?

>Either way should work.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Would either be easier than the other?

> "Hmm. We could do fasteners on the stove and the cookware, or we could do stationary hooks on the stove that can latch onto the cookware. You have a preference?"

[It's Purvis!]

> Would either be easier than the other?

> "Hmm. We could do fasteners on the stove and the cookware, or we could do stationary hooks on the stove that can latch onto the cookware. You have a preference?"

>Hooks would probably be faster, but it's trivial, you have all day unless Koa screws up.
>"Whenever doesn't make it too hard to move thing around, I think." Aoi says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hooks it is, then. Probably for the better anyway, since it means I'm not attaching things directly to your personal belongings."
> Fish out some materials and get to work!
> While working: "On a different topic, Koa, how broad is your master's variety of magic prowess?"

>"That'll do," says Aoi with a nod.
>"Uh, pretty broad," says Koa; to her credit she does not look back while speaking. "You know that hell raven? She managed to steal one of her spellcards and repurpose it for her own style."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh, nifty. Well, uh, if, say...someone wanted to alter their appearance, is that something she could do?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Huh, nifty. Well, uh, if, say...someone wanted to alter their appearance, is that something she could do?"

>"I'unno," says Koa. "I don't think I've ever seen her do anything like that before..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Drat. Well, still, good to know."
> Briefly pause work to glance over to see if there's anything going obviously wrong with the piloting, just in case."

>"I mean, you could ask?" she says. "She kind of tolerates you."
>Looking over, you see no flagrant or obvious errors. She might just be legitimately good at this.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I might do exactly that, yeah."
> Get back to work on our culinary project.

[It's Purvis!]

> "I might do exactly that, yeah."
> Get back to work on our culinary project.

>It doesn't take terribly long to arrange something to keep the hooks in place. It takes a little longer to make something that is not ugly and doesn't have the danger of the hooks getting loose and into the fire, or flailing about if sudden maneuvers are needed.
>That done, you still have plenty of tie to do other things, or just take it easy.

[Kilgamayan]

> Does Aoi seem satisfied with our work?
> Did we bring any research materials we could study, like books or manuals or something else?

>She doesn't seem to be hiding any complaints, as far as you can tell.
>Not really. You didn't specify any to bring, and you didn't bring any just to keep weight down.
