A gate opens on the beach and a handful of nude bathers step out into the sun. Splashing into the surf, they let the warm water clense the mess from their fur and scales. The waves come lapping into the cove in lazy crashes, filling the air with salt and serenity.

Kol sits on the beach with Caleb and watches his friends enjoying the surf. “You sure about this? You can’t go back to the ocean as long as I have your skin.”

The sailor nods, a sigh coming from deep in his chest as he acknowledges the truth. “Yeah. It's a big tradeoff, but it's worth it. I’d rather spend what time we’ve got together than all alone out at sea.”

“Aww, Caleb…”

“Just promise me you’ll come back safe. Okay? You go fight Argus and go to the moon, and have all yer adventures: but you come back in one piece for me.” He wraps a heavy arm around the mouse protectively and gives him a squeeze. “And keep yer friends safe too, you hear?”

I know they're here to clean up from the sexy fun, but Nemo's still looking pretty hard there, lol. He might still need some attention~

Maybe Casey should reach out and slide an artfully shaped mana tendril under the lizard boy's tail. Give him a quick orgasm to make absolutely sure he's done for the day~

You command the mech to pick up the rifle, it does so, awaiting next orders.

And yes, the feedback was painful, it was a sharp sting throughout your entire body. Your nerves were alight as it registered that error.

>>1105967
I wonder....check if the unit has a flightmode or flight boosters, order it to fly.

>>1105970
If doing so causes another error feedback, then it should be the last thing you test today.

This is seeming more and more like a machine that would be best in the hands of an untrained pilot. Someone to give orders but not try to guide it like a body.

You decide against attempting to fly at the moment, but you still have to deal with the Training Mechs shooting at you.

Even if the rounds they are using are dummy training rounds, the Machine still hasn't even dented. Heavy Armor Mechs for certain would take those rounds no problem but this? This is unusual.

Dalvari finds it humiliating, Dalvari is a highborn elf even if she is a servant she shouldn't be made to dress as a human!

She looks at the book of magic "Magic: lessons from the ancients" the title reads, flipping through a few pages it seems to focus on regimented rituals, and elaborate historical spells.

During the whole fight she has been beating us.
We should try to use her own tactics.

It made Rocio really mad, too. You don't Ellie really mad at you too, do you? Not after she shared those huge... secrets with you?
Still, she shouldn't feel like she has to rely on a foxy potion to feel confident. You can feel that way without fur, too! She just needs some time to let that sink in before showing it off to Landi.

She covers up and you both are pretty flustered.

“Ahem,” you clear your throat. “Exercise is good for you, Ellie. That’s a fact.”

“Yes, but-”

“And you hung out with me all night last night and DIDN’T spill your, uh, secrets, because I was looking out for you. That’s also a fact.”

“Uh-huh…”

“So, as the smartest fairy in our sorority, you can make an educated guess that you’ll also be safe hanging out with me when you exercise. Especially if you wear a loose tank top.”

“I mean… I guess.” Ellie brightens up a bit. Perfect! Everything is going according to plan. “Thanks, Vivi! I knew I could trust you. You’re so kind for looking out for me… thank you!”

FAIRY COLLEGE: END

Thank you for reading!

>>1105992
You did good vivi!
You did real good!
Aw, dammit.
Shes gone.

Thanks for the journey.
It was a fun one.

Will this crazy bitch stab us if we don't let her get what she wants. Let's just comply so that we don't need to deal with her any longer.

before we agree or not, ask why she wants that?

GUARDS! (She drew a knife, precautions needed. Should she be legit we'll cut it ourselves. Have a pair of spy rats on her though.)

see Abdle? The more of the world you rule, the more freaks who don't respect boundaries you have to deal with. Not worth it.

No to the hair, she'll probably make a voodoo doll from it. or just stab you anyway.

Now there is something you can try, if she attacks you. I would have liked to test it, but there is no time. Since your curse makes it so your attack goes through the enemy, if you attack their hand while they attack you, both hands should pass through each other. Thereby negating their attack. Just need to grab the sharpest thing nearby, even if its just a comb.

Ultimately, just comply, but I still would like to hear why she needs it first, but we'll have a spy rat keep an eye on her and see what she does with the hair, especially if she doesn't tell us why. It's just hair

If she can make a clone out of our hair, hey! we have a body double!

What's with the expression, Rabas?
Did the Barr family fleece you in a game of cards or something?

Maybe she has a fan. Y'know on top of however many we in the vault count for.

>>1105845
Oh no!
Better hide the butter

Don't worry, Mr. Rabas. Finesse is madly in love with Muschio so won't ever do whatever it is you're thinking she might be planning on doing to Lord Muschio.

>>1105982
Some might say unrequited love is just as dangerous as hate.

>>1105947
It's got your symbol on it. I think it must be related to your special ability- every agent has one I guess. Try taking it?
Also reassure him. This isn't something he should've messed with. He did the right thing by waiting for the professionals.

Put your hands on his shoulders. He needs a little human contact.
Tell him that he did good, he did his best, and that this isn't his fault.
Tell him to lock up and to go home, even if today's shift isn't over he needs rest. He deserves it.
The professionals are here, and we'll take care of it.

Yeah, I think we give the guy some reassurance, and then use the physical contact to retrieve this card. It seems connected to you specifically, I think the reason it doesn’t fall out on its own is it *needs* you to take it from him. Oh! You might not know how we know that symbol is “yours!” Our interface for hearing your thoughts is more of a visual one. When you speak out loud, your dialogue is accompanied by a little blue swirl like the one on the card. Similarly Gladii’s dialogue has a little sword next to it. This seems to just be an agent thing, since David has no symbols. But the swirl is yours and it’s on the card, so! Card get time!

>>1105950
Agreed.
Poor guy...
Just dont think about what it looks like when you put one hand on his shoulder then start touching his chest with the other.
Looks kinda... flirty.
Mumble about ash from his cig or something.

Anyone taking bets on feras special ability?
Is this chest thing a psionic iconograph representing some inner truth shes extracting feom dave or is it the tag that keeps his heart beating?

OK so anomaly in the bunker. Everything was normal (according to this guy) outside of it, but while inside, something strange happened. Is the bunker itself the anomaly? You're not equipped to destroy a bunker! Those are specifically designed to be destroy resistant!

Still, how to find out about whatever's in the bunker, without getting... forcefully made unable to destroy it?

The snake guy, eh? So Happy had infiltrators that high up, surely he has escaped by now.

So what's the prognosis Doc? Is this guy gonna make it?

Before that we need to check this guy's pockets for incriminating evidence. He seemed pretty arrogant, probably thought he wouldn't get caught and didn't need to hide anything.

We literally just got three runes, we could make flame mortar again if we wanted to. But do we want to?

The way kazooie is shaking...
Oh.
Thats something to watch out for.
In this environment at least, they react to dangers we may miss.
Good bo-..uh good gi-..

Way to go little backpack dude.

If you need to turn a corner till we leave that thing waaay behind, poke us out a little and we'll see if we can spot danger.

Tech rune though.
Nice find.

>>1105877
I think its a Runeling like the plant one... but what is this ones.. rune-element thing

Oh, if we do decide fighting it might be worth it, we should get Galena to help, and put Kazooie down in a safe spot.

I mean, we got a large enough variety of runes to create some terrifying offensive magic. It's just that runes are kinda at a premium right now.

If we're gonna burn 3 for a spell we'll be kinda locked in to hunting until we can find more runes. There *Should* be a ton around here somewhere. That also mean's there *Should* be something just as horrific as hidden around here as well.

High risk, High reward- but do we want to kick that hornet's nest?

Serah: "... you're not hiding more than one meat mountain in other people's closets... are you?

Divert her attention by pointing out that you can see her bra through her shirt.

Quick ask why she's not wearing a bra

>>1105921
I support both ideas here, impersonating someone and dancing. Serah would never dance provocatively, not dancing would make her more suspicious. Dotti can dance too to help sell the performance.

>>1105926
Good idea, but maybe we can do that as a last resort if she figures out Serah's identity. Like, we won't tell she's wearing something risky if she doesn't spread rumors about us. save our ammo

Quickly compliment her hat.

>>1105201
oh that's a good point, maybe we could ask one of our girls if she's a witch, and if so, break her first?

To take everything they could grasp - and use the hoarded wealth of the galaxy to buy the answer to life's greatest question:
Why the @#$% is everything a thing?

More efficient fuel.

To make you a bouquet of many a star
From the pale azure pulsars,
To bright crimson like Mars,
Gathered from both near and far.

From the brink of the cosmos
To the suns of the coreworlds,
No inch could I not ford,
For a burning love gathers no moss.

Crossing holes, black like tar
And with meteoritos showers spar,
To bring a shining collection, unmarred,
For you, a grand being without par.

You figure that if they were here to kill you they would've made the jump by now. Rounding the corner into the closest alley, you wait, your senses strained to hear muffled footsteps approach at an even, patient pace. You almost want to yell at them to hurry it up.

Eventually, a figure comes into view, a taller, slightly lankier wolf in jorts and a rolled up button up that's just barely doing its job. He stops once he sees you in the corner of his eye, paws pivoting as he turns to face you. You don't see.. full recognition in his eyes... but he seems to know something.

You frown under the mask, it's unmistakable that this is one of the Bites. But how would he know of you or even to follow...

"Hey," he drawls out, voice surprisingly young, almost teenage-like, "You got a smoke?"

You blink at him. He slouches as he stares at you with an odd air. He couldn't have seen you at the party. They would've barred him from entry. A coincidence? Couldn't be...

The gears turn. You realize you're taking too long to respond, the fatigue starting to catch up. You shrug your shoulders, feeling the weight of Eiko's gun from the pull of your jacket, trying to figure his angle, "Yeah, here."

You reach into your pocket for the smokes.

A claw lashes through the air. You backstep quickly, the wild swipe missing your chest but tears at your jacket, fabric straining then ribboning. A heavy ring shatters the air from Eiko's gun landing and skidding, your inventory cards flying out after and scattering across the alley floor.

Your blood runs hot at the sight. Murderous.

The wolf reels back, quickly creating distance. "Whew, real fast cat," his head turns this way and that at the floor in confusion, "The fuck, did you rob a casino?"

You don't respond, stancing up, your fists tight as you hold them up in a boxer's stance.

He takes another step back, eyes narrowing at the gun then back to you, "That's one of ours," his ears fold back with a snarl, "What else did you take?"

You grit your teeth, "What's your goddamn problem?"

Dooodge!

He shifts his weight, "You smell like a wolf, but you ain't a wolf. And I've never seen you around before. You get me?"

A real shoot first asshole here. You almost laugh. "You ever heard of friends?"

His arm stretches out, cutting off the exit, "You're no friend of mine. Give me what you got."

Your knife sheathed to your left arm waits for your hand. The spell cards in your left side are also untouched. Eiko's gun's across the floor. The only card face up is the ring.

What do you aim for?

Let's do this quick and dirty.
Pull out your knife in reverse grip then lunge for an obvious but difficult to dodge swipe at his mid section. Instead of striking for the midsection though, swing up towards the incoming block or counterattack while activating the plasma-cutter function.
He won't be needing that hand soon anyway.

You try to leave, maybe they're still waiting for you, but Nathan holds you back with his sweaty hand.
You smack it away before he can grab you again.

"I'll let you and your friend go, if you promise me you didn't touch anything." He's still mad about the arm as if there isn't a ghost hanging out over here. "I'm serious Riley."
All things considered it's a kind offer from a guy whose nuts you kicked.

Admittedly, she seems to still be trapped. I think Vi.al sent her away because he couldn't prove that she didn't have directives with her lord still alive. Either he's learned from this or it tells you more about the kind of lord he is to other Shapeless than his own with what he said.

As for Li.ni.si, ask her to go slow with it, don't see why breaking down over it would be a bad thing right now, this is the time to rest. But also that doesn't mean she will get answers. I think you are going to want to grab her and put her somewhere first, however.
