These are all great, but I can't choose which one I like best!
Curse you, Enemy, for making all these characters so damn addictively lovable!

Poly needs to get out more, away from the booze, and interact with the common folks.

>>872651
I]] Watching your apartment burn down

>>872662
Alright, on reflection, I think I'll say G5.
We've hung out with Bika a lot, we could use some more time with GG, but she's pretty cool for now, and we had a dynamite night with Poly, Meg, and Annika.
However, we kinda hurt Krin's feelings the last time we saw her.
I think she's entitled to some apology sex.

A5. apology coffee with Krin sounds like a great idea.

You're in the tidy little room of Krinstej Sulesso, making amends for last time you met her with some personal attention.

"Zack! Zack Zack wait!" she says, over the doubletime slapping of her little freckly butt against your hips. "I want it on my stomach!"
"Mm?" Your brow furrows.
"I want your cum on me!"
"Oh! Yeah!" You push her into her bed, then flip her around. She's very light. "Good communication."
"I was an English major," she says, and you both laugh for the second it takes you to push back into her.

Krin's bed, like most other things about Krin, is small, fluffy, bouncy, and cheerfully attired. You lay on it after you've both spent yourselves, watching your jizz pool in her belly button.
"Awwww," she says. "It looks kinda like a heart."
"A little, yeah."
"Or a hooded cobra." She wiggles. Her curly pubes tickle you. "That's the first time anyone's cummed on me."
"How was it?"
"Really really good." She closes her eye. "Really warm. But ask me again after I have to clean it up."
"Stay right there." You hop up off of her and cross to her dresser. "I got you."
"Awwww! Zack."
You return with her tissue box and affect a comical bow. "I am nothing if not a gentleman."
"What are you up to today?" Krin asks. "Cuz I'm like, I'm free all day. If it's something I can go to." She helps you wipe her stomach. "Or you want me to go to. With you."

1]] I was gonna go be an advocate around the neighborhood, actually.
2]] I was gonna go grab coffee with someone, actually.
4]] I was gonna go to _____________
5]] You were the sum total of my plans for the day, actually.

A]] And I'll text you later.
B]] And sure you can come along.

1B. Pay it forward, right?

Suggestion 2018/03/09(Fri)22:51 No. 872726 ID: 555f33

1B. It's potentially dangerous and asking her to do work when she wants a date is probably disappointing but advocacy work doesn't have to last all day. They could date-date later.

1B.
Then, when we're done, she can hang out at SLS with us and meet the dulabira properly.

4b: I was gonna go to [the local college/library and see what resources are available for learning garaktonnic, because I am especially behind on understanding warrior culture and it would be useful to my job in general to show willing and know even a bit of one of the common languages of the community I'm allegedly studying], and sure you can come along [if that sounds like a good time to you].

>>872727
btw i have no idea if that's a good idea or not. im not trying to start a bandwagon or anyting but i know that krin is a big fan of advocacy and that i dont want to split our attention between her and someone else over coffee. i also cant think of any places to go.

1B. Let's go make the world a better place, yeah?

"I'm on advocate duty today, actually." You pluck your burner from the nightstand and quick-check to make sure you haven't missed any calls. "You want to come along?"
"Ohmygod absolutely. Like let me just shower and then... yes!" She hops off of her bed, pinching your butt as she beelines for the bathroom. "I'll be like two minutes."
"It might get kind of fraught," you call, as the water turns on. "Just to warn you."
"That's OK!" You hear the shower curtain slide. "The advocate program got me laid! I have to pay it forward!"

You lead Krin down 10th avenue. The sun shines off the sidewalk like it was made of silver. A rat skitters into a sewer grate in front of you. A warrior perches a styrofoam to-go container of chicken and rice on her knee and painstakingly types, one letter at a time, on a very small phone with her very large pinky.
You peek over her shoulder as Krin and you pass. She's sending someone a video of a sneezing pug.

"Where are we headed?" Krin jogs a bit to catch up with you. You remind yourself to slow down a little; her strides are a lot shorter than yours.
You see her move, subconsciously, to hold your hand. She checks herself and makes it look like she was just adjusting her bag instead.

A]] There's an Oculot who's fresh out of the portal and apparently having a rough time adjusting. Old aristocracy. We're going to take him on his very first trip to the grocery store.
B]] There's this Warrior who's getting really nasty water damage being done to her apartment, but the landlord is refusing to fix it unless he gets to take it out of her deposit even though he's obligated to pay.
C]] There's a human who's been going out and yelling shit at Visitors on the corner of 10th and 47th and we're gonna get him to stop.
D]] There's a bit of a skut border dispute going on. All I have to do is loiter outside an apartment block for a bit and make sure any skuts going through it are... friends of Bika's.
E]] Hold her hand.
F]] ________________

>>873195
B seems like a good place to start.
NYC has some pretty damn nice laws protecting renters and the agencies involved LOVE making examples out of landlords.
The problem here is that the renter either doesn't know their rights, is afraid to exercise them, or doesn't know how to ask for help. We can fix that.

>>873195
Definitely E!
Then I'm not sure. We have Krin along, so we'll want to keep it to light duty. The oculot sounds like the easiest, but you never know. The Warrior and the human both sound like a pain in the neck, and the skut sounds like it could turn into a huge hassle in a hurry.
Of course, that border dispute could be between Bika and Pilop, so that's another complication.
The oculot could probably handle himself, but he might get harassed or something.
The Warrior definitely sounds like she needs rescuing from that landlord.
The human sounds like the lowest priority. Jerks are a dime-a-dozen these days.
So if I had to place the options on a scale of priority, it'd probably look like:
>B
>D
>A
>C
So with that in mind, I would suggest B.
However, I am open to other suggestions.

>>873198
Also: Hand hold? Naw, put an arm around her shoulders.

With Krin along I think we should do A.
Barring that, D. I like seeing Bika's "friends."

>>873201
Right? Arm that girl, Z. Off we go to help with A transition!

A seems hilarious. Do it.

>>873195
A]]

We've had enough exitement these past few threads, a nice quiet job sounds great right about now

>"The advocate program got me laid! I have to pay it forward!"

There's a hell of a tagline.
B and E are really good options

>>873195
B and E. If we have time for another right after, then, from highest priority to lowest, D (preventing a gang war just by sitting around), C (just one nutcase, but you never know....), and A (can hopefully fend and figure things out for himself without TOO much incident).

A! It might help him to see a well adjusted oculot as well

B is my favorite, assuming we have the knowledge/ability to actually fix it.

A sounds fun as a reader and to make friends.

C sounds like a 911 call, not us.

D is... didn't Bika tell us to stay out of the Skut mafia stuff? it's either really serious or something we shouldn't be doing.

A, because it seems like one it'd be handy to have Krin along for.

>>873235
Oh the goal of B isn't to fix anything, it's to convince the landlord to stop being a bigot or at least do their job.

>>873195
B sounds like the most important. I think we can call in a few favors?

Also E, c'mon. Maybe with a little F:Hold her a bit.

Come to think of it, have we publicly held hands with anyone else? Maybe with Bika? I'm not sure if it's the wisest thing to do leading into 3/4 of our choices. Krin might have had her own reasons to change her mind, too. If we're going to do that then just conspicuously leave the hand where she can take it if she wants, don't grab hers.

>>873235
Sorry to reply twice but I missed what you said about c the first time. It's important to remember that we cannot bring the police into Visitor conflicts if we don't want to make things way worse for them. Cops have a bad track record with Visitors.

A!

I wouldn't hold her hand. We're pretty encumbered with emotionally-invested relationships as it is, and personally, life has taught me to be a little more cautious and circumspect with who I let into my heart than maybe I'd want to be. We barely know her. Let's keep hanging out and see how that grows.

A

happy midhround, arm on shoulder

B with E on the way.

Make sure to let her know that you don't mind if she holds your hand. I kinda feel that while helping the Oculot would be nice, I feel like someone who's home is slowly getting destroyed is a little more pressing.

>>873195
A

We really need to help this fresh adjustee.

>>873195
B seems like the way to go, it's something that really needs something done about it and team ZacKrin can reasonably do it.

"There's an Oculot who's fresh out of the portal and apparently having a rough time adjusting." You take her hand and pretend not to notice the blush that performs an immediate hostile takeover of her cheeks. "Old aristocracy. We're going to take him on his very first trip to the grocery store."

When he notices you come into the barebones studio, the Oculot who scored the hit raises one gloved hand to his sparring partner and they both lower their poleaxes.
"Gzhaszi zai shzassinzif ku gjza," he says.
"Hza."
"Hza. OK. Hello, Human." He unmasks as he approaches you. "You are bedmate of Dutchesj. Famous man Zack Zomething, yez?"
You extend a hand to shake. "That's m--"
"You are advocate?"
"That's right. I hear you need some help with groceries."
"Zo you hear. I zee. OK. Aha." He favors Krin with a quick smile. "Junstjelic fj," he says. "Bzisj ku szzujna."
Krin blushes again a little. "Krinstezj Sulesso fj," she says.
"Sulesso!" His hairy brows unknot. "You are poet-heartmate?"
"Not quite."
"Ah! Poet-daughter."
"And you're Junstjelic Hygian, right? The polist?"
He stands a little straighter. "I am yes that man. You are also advocate?"
"Uh." Krin fidgets. "Sort of."
"You are bedmate of Zack."
"Uhhh."

>>873402
English tip, saying boyfriend or girlfriend or dulamad will probably lead to less blushing and stuttering.

>>873402
Yes, she is. And we're happy to have her.

Forgive me if I'm not versed on the finer points of discussing one's dulabira in polite company.

>>873402
Forgive me, but I'm still pretty new to discussing dulabiras. Krin and I met recently, and we just sort of clicked.

>>873418
>less blushing and stuttering
But it's so cute, tho.

>>873469
This reminds me, we still haven't introduced her to Poly properly yet, have we?

>>873475
>>/questdis/121470
Let's not bog the quest thread down with discussion.

>>873418
Yeah this sounds good.

>>873423
>>873459
Something like this, so long as it's clear we're not being a smart-ass.

In any case, Krin's lived on earth most (all?) of her her life, She's almost certainly got the perspective needed to help.

>>873518
Important stipulation. This guy is used to being pampered, let's not offend just yet.

>>873402
C-can we learn how to do that?

>>873402
It would be more socially acceptable in English to say Dulamad. Otherwise she'll cutely blush and stutter.

>>873518
>>873523
I agree with these.
We don't want to anger this guy, so maybe we should avoid patronizing him?
He's old aristocracy.
Quite possibly VERY old aristocracy.
Short tempers and big egos are part of the package.
Being respectful and deferential will get us far here.

>>873523
>>873676

We just walked in on him practicing some sort of fighting style, we can probably credit him with being at least a bit tough. He's a guy who willingly came to earth, after all, and he's from a class who would have some knowledge what that means, he had to know he was stepping down lifestyle-wise. Besides, look at that beard.

Just wink at him.

>>873742
Check your non-cycloptic privilege!

>>873402
Who isn't?

>>873676
He could also have a more “Warrior” mentality. The point is we dont know him yet. Lets go with the good old zacky charm and stick to being honest and open.

Definately a “bedmate”.

"We all have our poles to swing."

I'd just like to add that this guy probably resents humans. We may want to tailor our behavior to account for that.

Well, one thing I might suggest is that we ask him for some sort of minor favor or assistance. It's probably pretty wearing on someone's pride for a stranger to descend from on high to offer them help out of the kindness of their hearts because they're so pitiful, and honestly both warriors and oculots, high-class oculots at least, don't seem like they accept charity easily. So if we can think of some small thing to ask of him, and then offer some small assistance in return, it might make this more comfortable for him.

We'd have to think of something that seems plausible, though. My first thought is to ask him for advice to help with your oculot girlfriends, but that would be sort of crass and Krin's standing right there. Maybe ask him for advice for your relationship with your warrior girlfriend? That would be a sly implied compliment, that we'd be assuming he has experience with warrior girls, and would play to more of a non-warrior camaraderie. Then we clarify that we want tips on "getting" warrior culture better.

We also probably shouldn't start off by just directly correcting him on word usage.

>>874973
This is pretty condescending, honestly. It's a think veiled attempt to manipulate him and since we don't know anything about his personality he might just see through it.

guys we're just taking him to the supermarket

chillax

"So, where's your shopping list? What are we after today?"

>>875139
This, honestly. It also saves Krin from answering any more questions.

>>875139
>>875149
Agreed.

>>875139
The most direct and polite solution is always the best.

>>875139
Yea, this.

>>875139
Exactly. I'd still like some small talk, but we don't need to psycho-analyze him.

>>875139

Yeah this sounds good, honestly. His remark wasn't even addressed to us.

>>873402
"ANYWAY! Yes. We're here to assist you with your shopping. Did you have a particular store in mind or would you like some suggestions?"

On one part, we have to help him socialize.Being royalty means he has never had the need to address any non-oculot as an equal (he could or couldn't have had personally, but all races bow to oculots instinctively).

On the other part, he's fresh from the portal and we don't want to offend him.

Ultimately we're here to help him learn how to buy groceries, so we should give him a respectful tour of American Freedom(maybe invite him to some burger and fries? is Tesla burger near?)

Honestly kind of deflect it without getting defensive. Like pull out a new topic
