[Deave] uh, my name is deave.

[Chirps] no your name is metatron.

[Deave] ......you wanted to see me?

[Chirps] Yes, yes i did. Listen metatron, I know it's hard being a tool of mine but just keep on keeping on.

[Deave] ...sure?

[Chirps] Don't get worked up over ending your friends lives, this one wasn't your first and it most definitelly won't be your last.

[Deave] wait, i have to kill someone again? But I don't want to! I don't want to...

[Chirps] Well fantastic you think that way, but it's up to you and what your choices are that will determine whether you have to save people or kill them. So far your choices have been terrible.

[Deave] what, don't say that!

[Chirps] I'll be honest, when it comes to using your imagination... you stink.

[Deave] .......

[Chirps] Now that i'm done scolding you lets get down to the real reason I wanted to see you. I want you to be the most effective knight in my roster of children, and to make you more purposeful you must become more wise. So here is a boon, I will answer One question- No hidden context or metaphor or cryptic speak. I will answer One question- either explaining to you the answer, teaching you how something is done or just being blunt. Anything, any question you can think of, but only one.

[Deave]How can I do what I want without fate stepping in and ruining something else

[Chirps] This one requires two answers. I'll start with the easiest way. You have to become a god and kill me here. This is possible but not in any way you can think of now. Also once you kill me then something far greater will show up and try to kill you because you became a god.

[Deave] s-so i have to kill you and this other thing?

[Chirps] yep, that's it.

[Deave] that sounds easy.

[Chirps] Heh, no it is not.

[Deave] oh... then what's the other answer?

[Chirps] This one is harder and needs an explanation. I am not just a god, but I am the author of creation. I am the first god for you and all things under me, but don't think i have no peers. They too are authors of creation, but they don't have any sway over my book, which you are just a small paragraph in. If you were to take my book then you would not only have control over everything but you can also become an author of creation.

[Deave] I... I don't get it.

[Chirps] Imagine this universe as a short story, you and regina and your current parents are characters of it. But don't just stop at those, imagine that me sitting here right now as another character and the creature stronger then me as even another character.

[Deave] uh... wow, this is hard.

[Chirps] What you see is a god, sitting here in the grass with you. It is not the actual author, though it is a physical representation of him I truthfully exist in a universe that encompasses mine. I write in My book of creation, while others write in theirs. The only way to control this book is not just become a god but also escape from these pages and take my book. That is the hardest way, but the only way to prevent 'fate,' because you will become fate when you become an author of creation.

[Deave] Uh... how do I get your book then?

[Chirps] One question, sorry kid. Lookit the time, you have to skedaddle! Don't try to scream when you wake up or it'll be unpleasant.

[Deave]... okay?

[Abel] Deave honey, are you alright? Our water is fine doctor, why would anyone poison my son?
Don't worry honey, once your dad gets home we'll figure this out- we'll go to a scientest or something.

>____________

Alright... now is a good time to scream.

Then explain how you've been having strange dreams and your apparently a shamen. You accepted help understanding your powers.... the help comes with a few. side effects.

Wow, shit. You look freaky now.

Tell mom you're a Shaman apparently, and picked up a dinosaur spirit which gave you claws and teeth, and apparently the genie likes kobolds or something because getting his help turned you into one.

wow, all you need to do now is pack on a few pounds and you won't look much different from harold at all. might wanna get some goggles for the eyes so you don't freak people out too much, or find a way to turn off shaman powers

see, this is why you do not make deal's with genie's.
why the hell were we so eager to do that anyway?...

>>465769
because we are now supposedly absurdly powerful. he can't join with us unless he is willing to give us power, that is art of the exchange.

Hmm. I half expected Whimsical to be ready to kill us. We did just kill a friend in cold blood... (although, maybe a different body doesn't count? Or Regi wasn't exactly innocent after all those years as the Viper Queen. For whatever reason, we're not pinging his murder-dar).

>Scientist
Sorry, won't work, mom. No one poisoned my water, it's a spiritual thing. Part dinosaur and part shadowman, now.

(Really, the shadowman is kind of being a jerk with his changes, the dino showed a lot more restraint transforming you).

So... is there any way we can cash in on the bounty on the Viper Queen? Because we totally should, if we can.

>>465797
>bounty

I don't know... They might do awful things to her body. Her estate has a lot of stuff we might want to claim too.

Spirits may not have much control over how we change while communing, also remember that the dinosaur said that adding spirits would increase our connection to our other spirits and that would cause additional changes. We may not have turned into a kobold as part of the shadow man's transformation, we may just be better connected to the dinosaur making us look more like a really small version of itself.

Remind her about the dream we talked to her about and let her know what happened that night and that when we woke up from it we had sharp teeth and claws. We should also ask our spirits if there is a way to suppress the transformations, social interactions will be very hard if we look like some kind of monster.

>>465747
"I need shaman training."

Lets find and capture a devourer priestess that's about your age. Then swap her soul with Regi's so she can get the life together she wanted.

>>465802
...I don't see why we can't claim her stuff and secretly log in to Quint's hunter account and claim credit. I have no idea if we'd have to hand over the body though- how do hunters normally establish proof of death in this setting? That was never established.

>>465841

you are forgiven.

So Deave changes form based on which of the Inevitables he's been around before he died, but does he have any way to tell who his "mortal" targets are? The ones who broke the laws, that is

>>465880
Oooh! Cute, inky blank stealth form! That could be useful when hunting. And dino form could be useful for combat. If Deave and/or the spirits can get the hang of slipping between shapes quickly and easily (without trial and error) this could be very useful.

>>465881
It's like a doobie got hit by a asteroid made of doobies.

>>465891
We should start thinking of how we're going to get to our current target. We know who he is, now. The false god of the Cult of the Devourer. We also know he is absurdly powerful. Perhaps orbital bombardment would be the solution. It worked to kill us, so fair's fair, right?

>>465931
This is why I want to grab the reward money for killing Regi. If we can, it'll make funding an assault on Harold so much easier.

>>465903
>Summon Regi's spirit

Nothing would say trauma like finding out the mechanics of life and death are really that vain.

We may want to have our spirits practice controlling our transformations lest something like >>465881 happens again. Having the two practice their teamwork would probably work for now but anytime we add new spirits they'll have additional transformations and a new team mate to have to work with so we'll have to do additional practice anytime we add a new spirit. It could be better in the long term to see if we can exhibit any direct control over the transformations they can provide us, maybe start small like seeing if we can get the white smokey eyes look going with only minor support from Shadow Man.

[Deave] Okay, so is there a way to summon a spirit to me? Like regina's for example?

[2] Not unless they are connected to you. We all dwell on the spiritual plane of existance and even though we seem to be instantly in places, we also have to travel a certain distance in our plane to get there. It's more like walking.

[Deave] Oh... mkay, now about my body changing. The ones that you guys don't control, how does that all work anyway?

[2] It depends on how close you are to the innevitables when you die. The closest one you will have a duplicate body of it.

[Deave] What about the mortal targets they were supposed to take care of? Do I know who they are or does my body change?

[2] You are given all the information you need, if you see your target you will know absolutely that he is your target, but no your body won't change into the shape of mortal ones- that is specifically meant to fight the other four.

[Deave] Why are you being so helpful, before you were so stingy with information that it felt like i had to give up a body part or something.

[1] He's getting soft, dawwww

[2] Yes, I am being lenient on you- but that does not mean you will have reprieve from the wish purchasing system.

[Deave] heh, wish purchasing system

[2] Yes, a wish has a cost- and it will not be a cheap cost.

[1] I'M DONE- no more, too much.

[2] ow ow ow

[Deave] ............ you guys are great, that was awesome.

[2] that wasn't us, that was something else... I believe that was anthyptus.

[Deave] what's that?

[1] Old old old friend of mine, from when I was still alive. He goes around and eats everything, not just meat.

[2] He is an old.... judge would be the term. Before innevitables came into existance there were amalgam spirits made by the king god, the one you met. When spirits come together like that it summons the ancient ones- like demons or devils. Anthyptus would be considered a demon in this case.

[Deave] So is anthyptus just you two merged together?

[2] Yes and no, Anthyptus is the amalgamation of all the extinct monsters from the past and a single demigod. Me and lizard father equate to that almagalm and so it would summon anthyptus, but even though it did we can also make our own sort of demon or devil... but that will take lots of shaman control, that is most likely what you need to train.

[Deave] How do I train that?

[2] Get more spirit allies, maybe practice full possession more (with more shaman input), and more ghost control in general. You can summon up any of our features through your will, that is what a spirit guardian is for.

[Deave] ...okay, now about regina...

[2] If you want her spirit you will need to go to it, you cannot summon it to you.

[Deave] sounds good. So another question, are you guys going to stick around after my current body dies?

[2] If you were to become a different body type, where you hunt a different target, You will lose your ability to hear the dead. But yes, all of your spirit guardians will be with you and will still be able to communicate with you.

[Deave] Oh... hoof, we got all this day to burn, what else should we do?

>input

Go eat! You've been comatose all day, you gotta eat something.

SWEET. If we can get this transformation stuff under full control we might not actually need that orbital bombardment. Is Anthyptus someone we can count on to not fuck shit up if we summon him again for combat? It looks like we can easily dismiss him regardless, though.

First, breakfast. Hang out with your fams. I'd like to note that if we ever lose this body, we won't be able to keep in touch with dead friends and family. We should be careful. Maybe during our Shaman training and general bounty hunting, we can research our other targets. Maybe if we put off killing Harold until he's our last target, we can keep access to this body? I'm not sure. The alternative is finding other ways to contact the dead and keep in touch with them.

Ask Asheron if he could tell us (for free) if there are other ways of being able to talk to dead friends. Not necessarily what those other ways are, but if that information is free that's cool too.

>First, breakfast. Hang out with your fams.
Yeah, let's see what we can do to make them not sick with worry about their son turned bounty hunter turned possessed monstrous shapeshifter.

Mom will certainly want to know what that large utterly terrifying noise had been, though she may freak out a bit when she learns it was us.

>>466107

Us? It was Anthyptus! Not us! <.< >.> Not us.

>>466330
"Did you make the terrifying noise behind the house?"
"No, you can calm down, that was just an ancient all-devouring demon I summoned accidentally"

You are now in control of Abel and Rerk

[Rerk] So i just get home and i swear i hear a monster, now it sounded like deave screamed.

[Abel] This is getting outta hand, we need to move. First our son gets possessed, and now monsters are coming from the swamp.

[Rerk] Well I hope its just the boy playing a trick on us, because there is supposed to be some huge alligator that i've been trying to trap.

[Abel] Okay, well if it is let's kill it and save our son. Then we'll move.

[Rerk] Okay, i'll look at the plat book once I get a chance to head over to townhall.

>________________

>kill the monster
You think we need to be careful about that? He seemed to have trouble controlling his possession transformation powers... we might not know which one is him.

Make sure you have deave with you before you go killing any monsters. Dont want to go hurting any of his new friends. Also if he lost control of his new powers due to being a crazy kid do not want to mistake him for some crazy crab tentacle monster or anything.

Better consult genie before killing anything. OH WAIT YOU CAN'T AHAHAHA

>>466730
Yes she can. He can be in two places at once.

I do think we should at least ask the genie what's going on. It would make sure we don't attack a monster who is actually Deave.

[Agony] This is queer.

[Suffering] Why yes, this is quite queer indeed.

[Agony] It seems we have been set upon this land to do something, but what Is as of yet deligated.

[Suffering] Well, it is not where we are supposed to be. I am positive of this, the air feels dense and it is harder to breath.

[Agony] Why yes, yes it is and the grass is so crisp and the air so clean- I was under the assumption we were looking for a grim dark smoke filled steel building. But I must say this is a welcoming surprise, it is pleasant.

[Suffering] Brother, it would make this more pleasant if we had seperate bodies.

[Agony] Hm, you are right, but it is less crowded as it regularly is.

[Rerk] what is going on back here.

[Agony] Look, a dweller from this abode! Hello, are you the one who had summoned us?

[Rerk] uh, no... where's my son?

[Suffering] hmmmm, Ah yes- it seems we are occupying this body and not in a physical form as of yet.

[Agony] Pity, it would be nice to have a body of our own but this will have to suffice. I wonder where the others are?

[Suffering] Hm, I am unaware of their locations as of yet, mayhaps we should look for them?

[Agony] Yes, we shall. But first I would like to dine.

[Rerk] ....y-you let my son outta there and no trouble, got it?

[Suffering] Ruffian threats, I believe he will be delicious. May I eat?

[Agony] I'm sure he will obligingly enter into our maw. You sir, will you please prostrate yourself so that we may feast upon your visage?

[Rerk] Hell no.

[Suffering] It seems we must take him by force.

[Agony] Hold on brother, because it is not as easy as earlier times does not mean we should resort to force. Sir, If you sacrifice yourself for our hunger we will let the boy go, this I promise you. But we need to use his body to search out our bretheren so it will be an eventuality.

[Rerk] How about I shoot you and you give me my son, you stupid monsters.

[Suffering] He will not obey, we must attack.

[Agony] Now hold my brother, negotiation is the solution to all problems. Now sir, you seem as such a respectable man with well rounded wisdom. I will give you one last chance- You will prostrate yourself before us so that we may eat you or we will hunt you, your loved ones, and anyone you have known and kill them. Plus we will never release the boy if you don't, will you parley?

[Abel] Genie, where's my son...what happened genie?

[Lament] I'm sorry madam, I am no such thing.

[Abel] What the heck are you, where's my genie?

[Lament] I'm sorry, I know not of where your djinn could be, but I am the head of a hydra. Sadly I am alone, Have you seen my brothers? There should be five of us.

[Abel] uh, five?

[Lament] Yes, five. I am Lament, my eldest brother is pity, then it is suffering, second eldest is agony, and shame would be the youngest. As I am glad that I am rid of them, I am vexed by the fact that I am planted in the ground and cannot move. If you were to find my brothers, I would be ever so joyed.

[Abel] Why should i help you?

[Lament] If you do not help me, I will eat you. And my brothers will eat whoever is around them.
Actually I believe they might already be feasting on someone.

>input

"i would rather you eat me and be trapped here then hurt anyone else, if you swear to try and stop the others from eating people i'll help"

If Agony and Suffering have possessed Deave and Lament has possessed the Shadow Man's container I hope that doesn't mean Pity and Shame have possessed Lizard Father's corpse or something similar.

Rerk, back off we don't know how fast those maws can move you need to keep your distance.

Abel, Since Lament can't move if he wants your help finding his siblings he's going to need to let you go and if he can tell you if there is another way to find them other than follow the screams of their meals especially if he wants to keep his end of the stopping them from eating part of his offered deal.

Rerk: Shoot them?

>>467124
Inform it that it will have trouble eating you if it is trapped on the ground and cannot move. Offer it a different deal. We help it, and it keeps its brothers from eating innocents and our friends.

Hurry up and save Rerk from the other ones and then we can figure things out.

Protip: Rerk: shoot your son and he will not die. Dead serious. You can't hear me can you. Oh well, drama ahoy!

[Lament] ...that does seem inconvenient, then what do you propose?

[Abel] You call your family or whatever to stop them from harassing people and if you can get them to stay quietly without eating people i'll help find teh ones that don't show up.

[Lament] Dare say it is not the highly sought after plan but you give me no other choice. I will see who will hear my call-

[Lament] Ah, this feels more comfortable.

[Suffering] It may not be independant bodies, but yes it does feel more cozy.

[Abel]... you're ruining my garden...

[Agony] Please madam, we improved your hovel!

[Abel] It wasn't a "hovel," it was my zen garden... for meditating... you are wrecking my stuff.

[Lament] Ah madam, please, down to pressing matters. You had agreed to help retrieve my bretheren as I will fulfill my end, brothers you cannot feast upon the populace this time.

[Agony and Suffering] ABSURD!

[Lament] The lady kindly used her keen intellect to help me retrieve you, so I must be a gentlemen here. For the sake of our lost brothers we must find expediantly.

[Suffering] Very well, where do you propose our brothers could be madam?

>______________

We're looking for Pity and Shame. They should be nearby, at least... who is nearby in this neighborhood? Is your brother-in-law around?

I bet they are in other spirit high locales. Any battlegrounds around here? Graveyards?

Well, 2 of them came through Deave, and one through genie. At least one of them must have come trough the dino, right? And he's from the swamp the house is on the edge of.

>>468796
It's highly likely but I hope not, he said he had his last contact with shaman over 200 hundred years ago who, knows how many miles underground he's ended up over the generations he's been dead. I don't think Abel even knows that the Lizard Father is the other spirit I remember Deave only mentioning there being two spirits and not their identities, She could ask if they have a way to communicate with Deave, it may help if they know he's a shaman assuming it isn't already obvious to them, so we can discern the identity of the other spirit.

Oh also check the news for giant monstery mouths trying to eat people.

>>468801
...actually, it may be worse than that. If the heads can only pop out at locations that are spiritually linked to Deave, we're running out of local candidates. The dino-hydra head possibly being buried underground the swamp is bad enough, but anything else linked to Deave is farther away.

If the last head came through his connection to Mary, then it's offworld, at Harold's factory. If it came through our connection to our previous body, then it's offworld sticking out of Quint's ashes. Or on the space station we killed Regi on.

There was a giant crocodile or something in the area, wasn't there? that seems a likely candidate for dino-manifestation.
