Murasa Quest Continues - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

>Open our eyes.

>You look around, and find yourself in a quiet, empty village. Certainly Mayohiga; you recognize the manor in the distance as well.

[Yaersulf]

>Is Satono still here?
>Scan the area for aggressive felines.

[It's Purvis!]

>Is Satono still here?
>Scan the area for aggressive felines.

>There is no sign of Satono. Glancing around, you don't immediately see any aggressive felines.

>Drop our facade.
>"Drown it all Tojiko, I'm no good at being all diplomatic!"

[It's Purvis!]

>Drop our facade.
>"Drown it all Tojiko, I'm no good at being all diplomatic!"

>"Well, to your credit, she's good at being diplomatic in a bad way," Tojiko says.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"If she double crosses me I'll find a way to sink her whole damnable door dimension!"
>Shake fist at sky.

[It's Purvis!]

>"If she double crosses me I'll find a way to sink her whole damnable door dimension!"
>Shake fist at sky.

>Tojiko chuckles. "Wouldn't that be something to see?

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Well, hopefully you won't get to."
>Lower our fist and pull out Stargazer's cactus.
>Address the cactus thusly "We're going to go talk to Yukari, who's the one who gave me this cactus and told me how to use it to get you out of wherever it is you were. Hopefully she'll have some idea of what's going on with us. She might want to talk to you though, just a heads up."

>"You mean that one?" Tojiko says, as she points off to the side.
>Following her finger, you can see just barely make out Chen, hiding under some bushes. "No fair!" she shouts, before dashing out from under them and around the corner of a nearby house.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Huh, good eye. If she wants to leave us alone then that's fine by me."
>Continue to the manor that Yukari was inside before.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Huh, good eye. If she wants to leave us alone then that's fine by me."
>Continue to the manor that Yukari was inside before.

>"I just happened to be looking in the right direction in time to see a little bit of red before she secreted herself away," says Tojiko.
>You make your way toward the manor, following along the main road leading toward it.
>About halfway there, you hear danmaku hissing behind you.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Fly into the air and spin around in one motion.
>Is it Chen?

[It's Purvis!]

>Fly into the air and spin around in one motion.
>Is it Chen?

>You look back, and see waves of red and blue bullets coming at you. You also catch some kind of motion to your right, just past Tojiko.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Keep going up and try to get above the waves.
>"I'm really not in the mood for this you know, Yukari's basically expecting me anyway."

[It's Purvis!]

>Keep going up and try to get above the waves.
>"I'm really not in the mood for this you know, Yukari's basically expecting me anyway."

>You lift up. The oncoming danmaku is less dense up here, it seems to just be two overlapping fans of bullets.
>Chen comes from the left, leading in with a line of bullets and leaving more in her wake. Tojiko isn't quite as fast as you, and while she manages to dodge away from the oncoming feline, and dodges toward the initial fan of bullets and will not be able to move freely.
>"This is getting even!" Chen shouts as she crosses the road. Then she makes a sharp turn to get behind you, though still on the ground for now.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> If Tojiko could possess people, what would happen here if she possessed Chen?

[It's Purvis!]

> If Tojiko could possess people, what would happen here if she possessed Chen?

>Ran would probably have words about it. There's a high likelihood you'd be caught in the blast radius.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Back off and try to maneuver so that Chen is in between Tojiko and us.
>"Are you really sure you want to do this? Things didn't go well for you last time and this time it's two against one."

[It's Purvis!]

>Back off and try to maneuver so that Chen is in between Tojiko and us.
>"Are you really sure you want to do this? Things didn't go well for you last time and this time it's two against one."

>Right now, you are, very roughly, between Chen and Tojiko. Backing off with do the opposite of surrounding her; you'll have to approach her or go around her and hope she doesn't outmanuever you.
>"Is that what you think?" Chen shouts.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Try to circle strafe around Chen to the other side of her, keeping the same amount of distance between us as much as possible.
>"Just calling it as I see it. I'll give you one more chance."
>Pull out our ladle thingy.

>Try to circle strafe around Chen to the other side of her, keeping the same amount of distance between us as much as possible.
>"Just calling it as I see it. I'll give you one more chance."
>Pull out our ladle thingy.

>You try to circle around Chen, but she does not seem content to stay in place and let you, instead hurrying back to the other side of the road.
>Tojiko's movement is limited, but she manages to dodge around all of the shots coming her way. "Keep going!" she shouts.

[Yaersulf]

>Is there a house on the other side of the road past Chen?

[It's Purvis!]

>Is there a house on the other side of the road past Chen?

>Not directly, it seems she is aiming to go around the back of one.

>"Alright, I guess we're doing this then."
>Send a spray of water droplet danmaku towards the corner of the house that Chen is angling for to try and cut her off, then speed up and try to get to the far side of the house that is perpendicular to the road.

[Yaersulf]

>Look over at Tojiko to see what's going on with her.

[Kilgamayan]

She's probably offering to take care of the fight while you hurry ahead to talk to Yukari.
