Sakuya Quest 5 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> "Pardon the intrusion, Sir, but I thought you might enjoy the extra visitor."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Pardon the intrusion, Sir, but I thought you might enjoy the extra visitor."

>"I suppose I couldn't complain," says Sir Kay.
>"I mean, seriously, shouldn't you be dead by now?" Nue continues.
>"How rude," Sir Kay says. "I certainly don't speculate on whether you should be a corpse. Nor on the many other things I could viably speculate upon regarding you and your sudden disappearance."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm, I may be able to shed at least a little light on the mystery. Sir Kay, how long has it been since you two last saw each other?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Mmm, I may be able to shed at least a little light on the mystery. Sir Kay, how long has it been since you two last saw each other?"

>"Twelve or so years, I imagine," says Kay, folding his arms.
>"It'd been before you vanished," Nue says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Nue.
> "How long before? What prompted your journey here?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Look to Nue.
> "How long before? What prompted your journey here?"

>."I dunno," says Nue. "A couple? I didn't pay attention to what was going on in your kooky mansion at the time."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "In that case, it has been nearly a thousand years from your perspective."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "In that case, it has been nearly a thousand years from your perspective."

>"That's my point," says Nue. "This isn't the first time I've dealt with something like this, and it's been way too long for him to still be around."
>"Yet, I remain," says Sir Kay. "Sorry to disappoint."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "Perhaps time simply flowed differentl while the lands were separate."

[Hello Purvis]

> Shrug.
> "Perhaps time simply flowed differentl while the lands were separate."

>"They did, but not that different!" says Nue.
>"I apologize that I've caused such distress for surviving," says Sir Kay. "Please overlook it if I deign to continue distressing."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Give the smallest of amused grins.
> "Surely the two of you have more to discuss than this?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Give the smallest of amused grins.
> "Surely the two of you have more to discuss than this?"

>"Perhaps so," says Sir Kay, "But I would hate to disappoint a guest so. Aside from the obvious."
>"I think he's just trying to scrounge on serving us tea," says Nue.
>"That would be a lovely bonus," says Sir Kay. "Do come in, regardless."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Thank you."
> Follow that snark inside!

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "Thank you."
> Follow that snark inside!

>You follow him inside, and back into the sitting room where you spoke earlier today. It seems to have been cleaned up of its papers since you left. He gestures vaguely toward the couch, then has a seat in a rocking chair in the corner. "Do make yourselves comfortable. Refreshments will take a while, my manservant is having his daily sabbatical at the public house."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Your hospitality is appreciated."
> Have a seat on one end of the couch.

[Hello Purvis]

> "Your hospitality is appreciated."
> Have a seat on one end of the couch.

>"So, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, aside from disappointment with regards to my mortality?" says Sir Kay.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Gesture to the sword.
> "You wished to know about this, yes? I thought perhaps it best to hear from the one who currently possess it."

[Hello Purvis]

> Gesture to the sword.
> "You wished to know about this, yes? I thought perhaps it best to hear from the one who currently possess it."

>"I feel that I should be bracing myself," says Sir Kay, frowning slightly.
>"Nothing so dramatic," says Nue. "Whatever power this thing might've held is long dead, starved for lack of attention if nothing else. I keep it on the wall in my establishment, no one really knows what it is, and I don't bother to tell them anything notable when they ask."
>"You're using it as decor?" says Sir Kay, his voice carefully neutral.
>"It barely even fits with my establishment," says Nue, "So, tacky decor."
>"Satisfactory, that," Sir Kay says. "Most satisfactory, in fact."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "May I ask about the origins of that sword?"

[Monarda]

//You think that the sword might be old enough for it to be the "antique item" we need ?

[Suwako Moriya]

//It most certainly is, and that did occur to me, yes. I don't know how willing Nue would be to part with it, though.

[Hello Purvis]

> "May I ask about the origins of that sword?"

>"I would rather you not," says Sir Kay. "We don't need people getting ideas."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Ah. My apologies."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah. My apologies."

>"Let's just say it's the main piece of the regalia of an old troublemaker?" says Nue.
>"And keep that between us, shall we?" Sir Kay adds.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Mistress never had such a sword, did she?

[Hello Purvis]

> Mistress never had such a sword, did she?

>No, but she would likely be tickled pink to have it if she knew whose it was.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "As long as it did not belong to the Mistress, which I very much doubt it did."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "As long as it did not belong to the Mistress, which I very much doubt it did."

>"Naw, it was from their side," says Nue.
>"And didn't belong to a Mistress, unless we missed something obvious," Sir Kay says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well, I won't inquire further."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very well, I won't inquire further."

>Sir Kay nods. Then he looks toward Nue and says. "MIght I see it?"
>"Sure, knock yourself out," says Nue, as she draws the weapon and hands it over to Sir Kay.
>The weapon is an unquestionably western one, with a broad blade that has two edges. A series of runes run along it it's side, holding no meaning to you. Sir Kay turns it in his hands, frowning as he examines it. "Mmm. Fine repair work, but what else is to be expected of Weyland? I assume it served you well?"
>"It got the job done, but truth be told, I would rather not have used the thing at all," says Nue.
>"I should hope not," says Sir Kay.
