Sakuya Quest 3 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Monarda]

>"Not at all ! I was just asking if you have come to friendly terms, or maybe a less heated rivalry."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Not at all ! I was just asking if you have come to friendly terms, or maybe a less heated rivalry."

>"Well, I think we have, but perhaps Aya feels differently?" says Hatate.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "That is good. But perhaps I am using your time unwisely? Is there anything you wish to know of me, given what I have experienced?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "That is good. But perhaps I am using your time unwisely? Is there anything you wish to know of me, given what I have experienced?"

>"Why'd you do it?" says Hatate.

>_

[Monarda]

>"Do what ? I never desired to come here, if that`s what you mean."

[Kilgamayan]

> "It was not intentional, I assure you. I personally thought it merely some bizarre arcane accident, but multiple conversations with people in the know about the particularly mysterious and powerful supernatural have suggested an outside force was actively responsible."

[Monarda]

>"While i was trying to save Miss Keine, some strange unknown force, according to Ran Yakumo, displaced me from my original time period, bringing me here to this vastly different Gensokyo, now my goal is to gather the resources i need to go back to my period, this explains my sudden disappearance."

>"Why?" says Hatate.

>_

[Serela]

>"Why? To which part? I don't know much about the supposed force that knocked me out of time, but perhaps there are forces that don't enjoy people messing with the flow of time. I had it stopped for a good while as I tried to rescue Keine... hmm. As for why I wish to return, well..." Chuckle. "As wonderful and somewhat familiar as this new Gensokyo is, it's somewhat like being thrown into a foreign country. I wish to go home."
>"Speaking of gathering things to return to my own time, although I'm here moreso for a picture with Flandre as a keepsake of this journey, might you know of any items still around from my own time period, those centuries ago? I'll require one in order to get home, and I don't have any leads quite yet."

>"I don't think I have anything that old," says Hatate. "Well, nothing that I'd let you have, anyways. Too precious."

[Monarda]

>"A shame, but i understand, now about that picture, would you mind having one of us ? It`s not every day i see the Young Mistress in this appearance, nor behaving so well compared to before."
>Smile.

[Hello Purvis]

>"A shame, but i understand, now about that picture, would you mind having one of us ? It`s not every day i see the Young Mistress in this appearance, nor behaving so well compared to before."
>Smile.

>"I think you'll find it is every day, for us at least," says Hatate. "And sure, I could do that. Tell me a bit more about your situation, though?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "You may remember an explosion in the Scarlet Devil Mansion library, so many years ago? I was attempting to rescue Miss Keine Kamishirasawa from burial under a pile of books, never mind the fire. When I saw a bookshelf about to fall on top of her, I stopped time to give myself the edge I needed to rescue her before tragedy befell her, but it was exceedingly uncomfortable compared to normal, and I blacked out before I was able to completely uncover her. I woke up in a forest near...I believe the town name is True Glorian? Something like that. It appears to be Avalonian in origin, and is presided over by Sir Ector's scion, Sir Kay."

>Hatate nods. "I know of it. It's a harmless place, as far as I can tell."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "That sounds about right from what I saw."

[Hello Purvis]

> "That sounds about right from what I saw."

>"I suspect it's part of some obscure political maneuver," says Hatate, "but most Avalonians don't know too much about the machinations of the Round Table, and those who do are politely useless."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "I don't know much of anything about this Round Table myself, to be honest."

[Hello Purvis]

> Shrug.
> "I don't know much of anything about this Round Table myself, to be honest."

>"Essentially, king Pendragon and his samurai," says Hatate. "Well, samurai and daimyo. They don't use those words, but that's what they all are."

[the old guy]

>"Well, you said machination, is there something bad about them i should know?

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, you said machination, is there something bad about them i should know?

>"Well, not really," says Hatate. She rubs her chin, "But you know, a king declares himself the bastion of justice, just happens to conquer all the surrounding lords and unify the land. You wonder how just they really are? Like, I don't think they're blatantly up to something, but there's some skeletons in those closets, I'd bet anything on it."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Is that how Remilia claimed rulership of Gensokyo?

[Hello Purvis]

> Is that how Remilia claimed rulership of Gensokyo?

>Not really. It's not so much by right of conquest as by right of blood. She's mostly deferred the former for now.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh. I guess that makes sense."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Huh. I guess that makes sense."

>"Nothing too sinister, like I said," says Hatate.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Anyway, I eventually made my way to the Hakurei Shrine, and Reimu more or less filled me in on where and when I was. I have been adventuring in search for a way to return to my own time ever since."

>"Any luck with that?" says Hatate.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Actually, yes. Help has been graciously offered by one Ran Yakumo, and while she needs three items to do whatever it is that is necessary to return me to my time, I have already acquired one such ingredient."
> Hold up the bag.
> "Some Rainbow Sand, courtesy of the Rainbow Serpent."

>"Ran Yakumo and the Rainbow Serpent?" says Hatate, raising an eyebrow. "That's some interesting help you've gotten! I'm surprised you could even find Ran!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Chuckle.
> "I got a lead from Reimu. Thankfully, just about everyone along the way from beginning to end was someone that was alive in my time, though all of them have had their roles in life drastically altered. For the better of course, but it was still rather bizarre to see."
