Okay yeah this is a good idea. I'd understand if she doesn't want us to learn magic, though: Apples, trees, falling etc.

If that's the case, then ask if she can help you learn to defend yourself. Franklin might be able to teach you!

((And he hates the fuck out of you for macking on his girl so bonus points for severe training!))

"Nice. You're sticking up for yourself now. You passed the test."

>What?

"I was just, y'know, trying to toughen you up."

>I don't buy it.

"Well, whatever. Can we still work together?"

>Yeah, sure.

"So, first things first, did you learn about the mask?"

>Yeah, it's apparently just an enchanted mask. the symbol on it is the symbol of the three gods, which this mage guy put on everything.

"Enchanted? So, stuff you wear can be given magical properties?"

>Uh, I didn't really ask about it.

"C'mon, Rick, these things are important!"

>Okay, sorry.

"Why don't you ask her if you can learn some magic? Be gentle about it"

>Uh, okay.

Four or five spells is better than none.

"Huh, if she's not that great a mage, how'd she beat that other guy? Did she say?"

>Uh, something like she was temporarily bound to the god of destruction. Its personality was supposed to overwrite hers, but somehow her spectral advisors kept her mind in control.

"Nice. Is she still like that?"

>No, once the advisors left, the god left with them.

"Rick?"

Oh god damnit.

uh oh, the popo, play it cool.

Oh shit, it's the cops. Put on your cool face. Act like nothing's wrong.

Tell Rick that his magic is most likely fire for now (the fires of love baby!), and to be sure to get a chocolate cake with strawberry icing to celebrate his birthday (as apparently he was just born)! DEMAND THIS ODDLY SPECIFIC CAKE NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS!

Fuck you, guy.

i think that means the voice known as NaiveOne is now on probation for suggesting to say something that was apparently a really bad idea. anything it says take with a grain of salt.

>8I

GOD DAMN.

Mental note, advisor: tell her we apoligize and that she is very scary.

>>246252
Wow, she really has some issues. Rick probably isn't going to be able to hit that any time soon. But on the good side we have found more humans now, so he can find someone else to bump ugly with instead for a while until she settles down.

Ok, get him to follow her lead. And we're probably gonna have to guide him through this. Oh, and he has a total lack of identification papers, that will be fun. Have to act completly normal then to make sure they don't ask to see stuff we don't have.

Hey a piece of advice, ake sure you comb your hair a bit before taking the lead. Your hair looks a bit of a mess. I don't want to see a hero of sorts looking all scrrfuy now do we.

>>246303
VotD has good advice, for once. On your first opportunity, you'll want to shower and clean up.

Okay, so someone posted the quest involving that girl in the discussion thread here:
>>>/questdis/335226
tl;dr:most of the summary the girl gave here:
>>245815
is accurate, except that the guy (Tristan) didn't make clones of himself, she killed him and the electric god thing regenerated him from a drop of blood.

As he had been nearly completely obliterated before this, he had no clothes left upon regeneration, and his red dyed hair regenerated to his natural dirty blonde. Also, the electric god is also the god of knowledge so it took all his memory as payment and split.

In other words, "Rick" is Tristan. Near as I can tell, his original plan was to brainwash these two gods, OB and EB, bind one to himself and the other to this girl Alanna, which should have overwritten her personality, leaving her like his god-slave or something while he created another universe to rule.

Problem is, she had these spectral advisors in her head, and that kept the magic from working properly. The god got bound to them instead of her, she stayed in control of her own psyche, and she went on a whirlwind adventure to defeat him blah blah blah.

His plan at that point was apparently to subdue and rape her so she'd have a kid that was the child of all three elements (since humans are already children of the third god left out of the equation) who could live out his dream for him. So, pretty villainous dude.

So, I'm not unpausing his screen yet because I am really not sure how to proceed here.

Please advise.

>>249187
And hey, none of this matters. So what? We aren't Tristan, we're Rick. Whoopdy doo. She associates the rape with a red-haired guy, not a dirty blonde. So long as we no longer reference the shit Tristan pulled on her, we'll be fine and banging her in no time. We've made suggestions, so yeah. No change in our plan of action.

>>246322
>>246303

>>249187
Let the police officer ask their questions, not move on love sub-plot thing until we can convince Alanna this dude is a totally different Bro, and act like total sly motherfuckers with these cops

>>249192
In case you don't get it: Don't reference Alanna unless we will die otherwise. Doing so will make it clear Rick is Tristan instead of a new guy, which makes things very dangerous for us!

>>249192
I would like to point out that he did not actually rape her, he just planned to, and basically spelled it out that he was gonna do it whether she liked it or not.

Tell Rick to just follow her lead.

Oh, huh, pause. I don't think girlie's got a plan. Maybe Rick can bail her out here. Any bright ideas for what to say here, or you wanna just leave it up to her?

Let's see, the tree's fallen over, there's holes in that house, uh... oh, the glass is broken. HM.

Lightning struck the tree, causing it to fall over. some branches hit the roof, knocking a hole in it. You don't clearly remember whether or not they fell in, but it looks like the window suffered some damage too...

>>251742
If you think the explanation would benefit from it, I could go scope something out while we're paused here. Remember, I'm not stuck staring at this asshole's ugly mug all day.

I guess it would also help to say something about why we were in the woods and why the mom's not there, too.

It certainly just looks like a crazy burglary. How can they expect Alanna to know what went on if they have no evidence she was here at the time of the incident? We don't have to know what went on, Alanna was having a day out and presumably her mother must have been home at the time. Since this seems like a massive Home Invasion, the disappearance of Mom can be blamed on that while we let the police try to explain what went on themselves.

They don't know shiiiiit. Also if we need a coverstory or something, just say Rick's a homeless poor dude. Alanna was kind enough to offer him some canned food like beans. They aren't good covers but they don't need to be. What are we, suspects?

>>251748
Dirtbag, as usual, comes to the rescue.

>>251748
Playing dumb is usually a good idea with cops, regardless of whether you know anything or not. I support this. However, it's suspicious that one of the house occupants was absent at the time, then comes wandering out of the woods with a homeless guy some time later.

How long has it been? I didn't read the first thing. What's the time frame between kidnapping and the present moment? The longer it's been, the more suspicious this story's gonna be.

I say Rick pretends to be Allie's boyfriend. They went out on a romantic camping trip in the woods for however long and they're just coming back to find this. Plus, romantic tension!

>>251808

Nice cover!

And it's a great way to not only confess but to make a bold step. Haha!

>>251808
>>251811
except for the part where allie beats the shit out of us for being presumptuous.

>>251818
That comes later~

>>251818
She'll know we're lying to get her out of this. Look at her face in the last panel, she's begging Rick to come up with something.

>>251825
She's begging The Advisor to come up with something, not Rick. Since she knows it's following him. Only reason I said homeless guy was because then it would explain why he has no proof of his identity, SS number, parents, etc. because he could have been homeless since childhood. It's suspicious, but if he's her boyfriend they'd expect him living in a house with all those things. I don't think old Tristan was dumb enough to leave evidence pointing out himself beyond well, the destroyed house. As for the time displacement, Alanna was out with some friends for her birthday and went out of the city for a while? She probably has friends she can convince to lie for her or we can bribe a few cool broads to be the evidence for that story.

If he's homeless, we can probably get a new SS number eventually that he can work with so he doesn't have to keep up a false identity. OF couse this shit runs on tropes, no one is going to question the lack of SS number, birth certificate and residence so actually the boyfriend thing might work.

Slap her.

Oops, didn't count on the mom factor.

>Nnnnno.
Well, shit.

say that that would be rather hard as rick is from out of town, and was here for a visit, and does not mind waiting at the station.

>>280477
Time for more lies. Tell them that Rick lives out of town. Then ask the officer for some personal space so that they can take care of some stuff. If he starts being annoying then blow up on him over the fact that the house was just destroyed and the mom is missing and that shit kind of elevates stress levels.

>>280477
Heeeeeerrreee? You lost your apartment a week ago because you lost your cheap-ass job that was barely keeping you there in the first place and now you couldn't pay rent. The romantic camping trip also doubled as a job interview as a camp counselor but everything got ruined by a serial killer with a chainsaw that Alanna thwated all by yourself as you played the normal roll as damsel in distress the camp closing due to a budget cuts.

It just hasn't been your week.

You're doing what all young men do when they don't have a proper place to stay. You're staying at the Y.
