I think had you gone down the family route I’d have done more of a super controlling old money (source not specified) interfering family that put their reputation above the case and are embarrassed by Raquelle

Thanks I appreciate the feedback.
I never had that in mind specifically for Grim and Raquelle but I suppose I’d be open to if it was suggested.

Honestly I was considering having her leave Grimm to free him up for more interesting encounters with girls of varying sizes but eventually changed my mind.

Thanks for the quest.
It was fun.
And thankyou for the denouement.
Its nice to know how things would have played out or at least one possibility.
Gives closure.

Damn. Well, at least you bothered to say it. I suppose we got to sleep with Raquelle, so it's not all bad, so thanks for running what you did, i guess.

You begin explaining your past with the village you once lived in. It doesn’t remotely answer their question, but context is important you guess, and it is really more for yourself than anything. The memory needs some breathing room, especially the memory of your hometown. You don’t want to lose it now you fear you may never see it again.

“I live in this big beachside town in the Upways. Not literally big, but dense, full of tons of people. It only barely stretches from the shoreline to the edge of a forest of needlewoods. It is full of the most kind and compassionate people you would ever meet. We do a whole lot of fishing and exporting ocean stuff. Though I guess the Highest Class doesn’t particularly like us for some reason? We don’t export stuff to them.” You felt like you could have scoffed as you said that last part — if you had a body to do so — but your smirk got quickly replaced with the tone shift in what you said next. “That’s what– was my home town.

“It happened so slowly; there were signs of something, but… We were just catching fewer and fewer fish, and what we could snatch was too diseased for consumption. Then suddenly, it all stopped. The population returned completely, like whatever had been plaguing the water had been taken out. It should have seemed foreboding. It was just a few cycles later while I’d been taking a casual hike through the forest out of town, but when I returned…”

It is difficult to say the next part, but you swallow the lump in your throat and go through with the horrific thought. “There was fire everywhere. Those bright flashing colors were everywhere. Eating away at every building, billowing massive towers of vibrant light completely blanketing my vision. But I had to go back there. I had to know how this had happened. I had to find my mom.”

“I did find her; just ran to where I guessed she might be, then followed her voice to a fishery on the docks. There were a lot more boats there than usual. Larger and with designs I didn’t recognize. But then I stopped; froze in my tracks when I saw– something. It was– well I couldn’t see it too well, only its silhouette cast by the fire behind it. Or maybe it was itself as pitch black as shadow. It was a massive beast; crawling on six stout flatfooted limbs, yet it left a hole triple my height in the wall I saw it through. Its body was a gargantuan bulk of flesh while its head was only a slender boney skull. I saw it tower over my mother who was lying on the floor injured and crying. It was disheartening to see her like that. I only saw her call my name, her voice too quiet to hear. I called out to her in response, but then the beast switched its attention to me.

“It turned toward me. It had no face, only glowing white pinpricks from the hollow sockets of an expressionless skull. Its lower jaw was split like the mandibles of an insect, holding its rows of teeth reminiscent of kitchen knives. A large hole was located on the peak of its head. It stared at me. A growl of sorts emanated from it, low in pitch yet shrill. It opened its mouth. Its hollow maw filled with the same fire that surrounded it, and it produced more from within its gape.

“I stood at the edge of the docks with the ocean to my back. I couldn’t move, I was stuck in place. All I could do was stare back at the beast as the fire in its jaws grew and g

While that may not have exactly answered its question, that seems to have satisfied it in a way. “Woah,” the child-like voice hushedly exclaims. For a brief moment the silence of death returns. The truth is you don’t actually know exactly how you died. One moment you stood frozen staring at death’s skinless halow face, then an explosion of colors to your front, the splash of freezing water to your back, and now you are here being interviewed on your life.

The voice asks again, still curious. “But that’s not everything, is it?” It holds the intonation of already knowing. Like it only asks not to know more, but to see how you describe it. Though that child-like voice it carries is still laced with innocence. “What about the people in your life? I wanna know about them too. You must miss them, don’t you?”

A. Who is your mother?
B. Who are your friends and neighbors?
C. Who were you; what did you do as a job or pastime?

And please, you may have a lot to say, but it is best to be brief and concise. Leave room for interpretation by me, or for extrapolation by others. Now, Topics written in blue are mandatory to answer. You specifically don’t need to answer them all, but you collectively have to. Mandatory has nothing to do with priority, but just because your response has no immediate effect does not mean it was completely cast aside. Remember: you have just as much of an influence on worldbuilding and lore as I do.

Mom fixed the crab traps. The fishermen had a soft spot for her (and you) and would sometimes give her some of the fish that hadn't sold. You spent a lot of your youth mediating arguments between your two best friends that lived on either side of you.

Your mother used to be an adventurer, but then she took a pick to the face. For all your life, she has been a carpenter; lots of good work, repairing the old docks. Most people are put off by her open right cheek, but she says it makes her look like a wolf.

You were planning to become a musician, but had to make do as a dockhand.

-“Hey, who you calling meat? Put me down, you lunk!” you yell, flailing your other limbs as you uselessly try to wriggle yourself free.

-“Fee Fi Fo Fool, I want to carry it but my belt is full,” the saurian barbarian continues.

-“Fee Fi Fo Foom, put it in mine, there’s still some room!” another voice rumbles enthusiastically behind you. God, the only thing that hurts more that your mangled foot right now is that stupid accent of theirs.

The amstvane squeezing your foot hands you over to his buddy, who promptly hangs you by your feet with one of the lengthy, sturdy ropes that pass for a belt around his belt with a practiced and surprisingly gentle motion, wedging you in between a yich-eater that desperately trying to pull her clothes back upwards and a shabby old human.

-“Damn, man, you smell like hell,” you friendlily greet the hooman.

-“Why hello yourself, bloody nightmare dog,” the old man replies with blushed cheeks, likely due to a jolly disposition and not anger or blood rushing downwards.

-“What the fuck’s a dog?” you ask irritatedly.

-“I’ll have you know I haven’t had a chance to take a bath because I’ve been buried in what the used to be my neighbour’s building for the last two days. Luckily these fellows dug me and Miss Pitching over there out before we ran out of air. If they weren’t going to eat us, I’d say they are being a terrific rescue service.”

-“Yeah? And how do we go about avoiding the whole ‘getting eaten’ part?”

-“See, I’m not rightly sure. I’ve only been here for an hour or two, and between everyone else screaming themselves hoarse to be let go and trying to lift my torso to avoid fainting, I haven’t been able to come with a plan.”

-“How many of these giant guys are there anyway? I’m hearing a lot of stomping.”

Talk to the amtsvane. You guys are vegetarians, right? It's a good thing we're not a miklik.

There's a reason only yich eaters eat yichs, right? If you can just sneak it into their pot, it'll put them off their meal. Should probably try not to get to that point though.

These barbarians can't be that smart. Bluff that Rokoas have a super buffed version of neumono regen. If they eat you, you'll regenerate in them and tear shit up.

Why are you even fighting? Fuck it, maybe find a place to hide away from society, grab a husband or something and settle down.

Safety first, wrap up the pipe then call it in. In case they can't get to it until tomorrow. Then get some fresh air, that gas was really getting to you.

good idea. and yeah, be sure to call in as soon as possible.

>>1097995
Open all windows and doors.
If the gas is allowed to gather it becomes a risk of explosion, a throughdraft will disrupt this.

A gas leak can be dealt with immediately by shutting off the gas line! Go outside and find the shutoff valve. Then you can call someone tomorrow and have them fix the pipe without disturbing anyone.

>>1097995
Open the windows IMMEDIATELY distrupt the gas build up so you dont get woozy and loopy, what ever is faster go outside to turn off the gas or wrap a cloth but immediately call the repair man explaining or the fire services as a gas leak is no joke

May well be. You’ll keep this in mind in case it ever becomes relevant.

“Alright, call me Mary.”

I like the idea of traveling together with this lass.

That’s good. She should make hacking your way through this place a bit easier.

>Now, as far as going places, this storage room seems like a good bet.

Mary grabs you by the forearm and leads you back the way you came, to the fork.

Mole people have filled in the gap now, enticed by your fleeting presence. They recognise you. Maybe. Regardless, they shuffle towards the pair of you, eager to grab and bludgeon you into submission.

Mary leads you down the left path. After a few turns and narrow sections, a vast emptiness opens before you. The shrieks of lost fruit bats and dripping punctuate the sound of rushing water beneath you.

On the other side of this darkness is a huge column that stretches up as far as you can see, and down the same distance. A large door is conveniently set directly facing you. On either side of the door is a mole person, both taller and broader than any you’ve seen before. Mary looks puzzled at their presence.

Connecting the door to the cliff where you’re standing now is a thin and treacherous path that looks as though it could crumble at any moment. Another path starts out at the same place, but forks around and continues underneath the upper one. You can’t get a good look at what might be on the lower path.

“Either of these should lead to the storage room,” says Mary. “probably.”

Argument: Take the forward path. It will be direct and put us in full comfrontation of the mole men at thegate, but their threat is manageable and time is of the essence in this mission.

Caitlyn checks the rope and then begins to cross the room through the sludge, catching herself on the rope when her balance is threatened. "Whatever is down here better be worth this. Its going to take a week to scrub this smell out."

>>1097012
The fissure continues horizontally some 150', through about forty feet of wall and then diagonally across the floor of a pillared hall roughly twice the size of the one Kisara and Caitlyn are currently in. Below the fissure's entire length, there's a cave, seemingly separate from - but comparable in size to - the one under the hole Cold and Woe went down. Both areas are basically pitch black, so effective mapping would require a light source... or, possibly, a calligraphy brush Kisara can wield in bat form, to take notes as part of an echolocation-based survey.

Traversing the fissure to reach that larger hall might be relatively straightforward, by professional rock-climber standards - just gotta go single file, pressure-walking against opposite walls - but if part of it turns out to still be unstable, who knows how much rock could suddenly be coming down on your head. There's almost certainly another way around, longer but safer.

Shadow-tar thing plowed a path through the slime, and foxmen have been busily expanding it with shovels. Only about two or three feet wide so far, and the residue on the floor is still fairly slippery and disgusting, but the stone floor is actually visible. Even without the guide-rope, someone with at least Athletics 2 could run full-speed along the cleared section, or fight, without to significant impediment or risk.

Once on the other side with Kisara she examines the entrance of the other door, illuminating it with her caste mark if needed to see further in. She pondered what that shadow mass might be and questioned if she should have struck it down or not - it seemed to know where it was going and that concerned her. "Does anyone know what that shadow was?"

Honestly, there is absolutely something to be said for pitting the Censors against the Circle on this point. I don't know if we'll be able to pull that off now, but it can at least be a long-term point of consideration.

For now, you need a plan. If there's anything you can rely on Serah for, it's navigate social situations. Tell her what your concerns and expectations are for how your people will act, and ask her to decide for the group how you'll engage with them.

Ask for Serah's expertise and planning. Now that you're all on the same page you can get her opinion on how to proceed. An outside perspective never hurts.

Corruption has consumed the Censor Church. They won't just 'do their jobs'. They could ignore the soul devourers entirely to continue pursuing the low-hanging fruit... or even worse, successfully capture the soul devourers and breed them to conduct human soul experiments.

Your objective should be to inflict conflict, as much as possible, between the elven extremists and the corrupt priests. Give the task of monster slaying to beings you can trust to do actual slaying.

So you find it upsetting when you think your host sees you as a burden instead of a companion? I can sympathize with that. It must be hard to be treated like there's something "wrong" with you just because the law doesn't like you.

Well, I find it upsetting when people directly threaten my host's life and sanity to force them to do things. Which is still a thing that happened, and hasn't unhappened. I do not like being so insistent about this, but ignoring it is simply not an option. The host's well-being is our primary priority.

So if you can promise not to do anything to Jack that he doesn't want, I'll look for ways that you can be more involved. Does that sound reasonable?

By the way, ever since we found out about our "psychiatric skills" as a therapist, I've been wondering just how well we could do at getting inside AHN7's head.

Alright, two options, let's make 'em count:

Height - Vivi is considerably tall. To put it in scale: Her height, when compared to the average fairy woman, is about what Serah's height is when compared to the average human woman. She is a giant

Eyebrows & Facial Demeanor - Intense. Her neutral expression is almost a glare, but it radiates less anger and more of a sense of deep focus. You can tell by looking that she's ready for anything, and would be difficult to catch by surprise. As for her eyebrows, make 'em thicker than just a curved or angular line. Hers are thick enough that you gotta draw a shape and fill it in with color.

- Hair color
dark green with some light green streaks or patches, or vice versa

- Tattoos (you can describe multiple tattoos as a single feature) has some names of the people who beat her in fencing cause she wants to remember and honor them cause not many people can beat her. She sees those names of winners as battle scars too.

>>1097535
Her ears are a little longer than average and quite expressive.
Even a little mobile, tilting up and down and moving in ways that sync with her mood.
She is self conscious about them, and regrettably her ears redden too when she blushes, rare as that is.
Primarily, the biggest annoyance is that shes started to worry that they are a tell in duels and as such she has taken to wearing a binding head band to tie them down during matches.

She has the brightest, most infectiously joyous of smiles and while it is as rare a sight as it is singularly charming, when something brings out that smile she melts hearts.
Much to her chagrin, it is adorable.
A badass blade dancing fae shouldnt make people want to squee at her cuteness.

I think Vivi has bigger hips than she’d prefer. Where the rest of her body is toned, and firm, her tush is soft and squishy. She’s come to terms with the fact that it makes her sexy. She only dislikes the size of her rear due to it increasing her size as a target, in an area she’d rather not be struck.

Also, Vivi’s hair is purple. Well, it’s NATURALLY purple. She dyes it green to match her glow for duels, but if it’s been a while since her last fight official fight, you start to see some purple at the roots. She usually uses this as a timer. As soon as she can see the purple, she knows it’s time to get it over with and issue a challenge herself before she starts to get rusty.

>>1097587
This doesn’t count as a suggestion, just wanted to point out, if she ends up having pubic hair, she wouldn’t see a point in dying it. Just a detail considering the type of quest this is.

B, most of the twins cards seem to be built around getting more cards on the field, and they don’t have any character stronger than the kraken, so the odds a character would have an effect that would save them seems low.

“No,” Franklin bluntly answers. “...That’s not what we’re doing, right?”

“Middle-school is all we need,” Enid says. “Rodney’s effect lets us boost the attack of another character by 1000 Attack Points! And we’ll be doing that to Lillian!”

The start of Charisse’s turn has everyone sitting on the edge of their seats. Enid and Franklin are especially tense.

Charisse doesn’t draw, instead looking up at her opponents and throwing them a friendly smile. “You’ve got all your cards on the table, so why don’t I do the same?”

“Huh?”

In a shocking move, Charisse flips her hand around, revealing it to everyone.

Eggplant-Kraken (Level 10 Character Card, 3500 ATK 2500 DEF)
Kiwi-Molebeast (Level 5 Character Card, 1800 ATK 1400 DEF)
Holly-Headsplitter: (Level 7 Character Card 2600 ATK 2000 DEF)

“Because I have no Characters on my field, PLANTIMALS Theme Song gives me an extra Normal Summon for this turn. Right now though, I don’t have a play”

“Even with a hand filled with Characters, you don’t have any you can summon without a tribute.” Enid says.

The Case of the 8 Armed Man. That's one for the history books. Folks almost didn't believe you, but fortunately you always carry a camera to capture evidence. Apprehending the criminal, that was a real tangle for the aquarium staff.

You still keep a memento of the occasion.

Town is just a bit more up the road. You'll be there soon.

Remember the last time you were forced to solve a problem with violence. How did you fight? Did you win?

Technically the last time you solved a problem with violence is when you smacked the vending machine when it didn't give you your chips. You lost that fight when it fell on you.

It's hard to say you lost the fight. It's true. it's just hard to say. You've always prided yourself on your ability to engage in fisticuffs, but your foe was no mere man.

+1 ECCENTRIC

Finally, you arrive at the edge of town. The only thing here is a lonely gas station with a single pump. They must not get a lot of traffic through here. You eye the vending machine on the corner carefully.

It's late afternoon and the sun will soon sink behind the mountains.

Use your surveillance skills to peep through the dirty front window. Wouldn't want to walk into an ambush.

Anything oddly useful hiding in the vending machine that you'd normally wouldn't see in one?

I'm not sure how quickly we can move while carrying another person with broken ribs. If only she voiced her problem before Muscles-for-Brains walked away. We can always give it a try, but it's going to hurt. Is covering her in leaves to hide her while she recovers an option?

Gokk is endangering everyone right now. Appeal to the pride he feels as the group's bulwark. We won't last very long if we don't have his strength to depend on.

The potion wasn't enough? Carry her, then. ...we're gonna have to take a closer look at her wound soon; if it's infected then that's another party member in a critical situation.

Also tell Grok that what he's doing right NOW is running. He's refusing to face the facts and accept the loss of his arm, which is endangering those around him.

>>1096075 is right. Being a coward is turning your back to whatever you should be facing. Right now, it means the state of his arm.
Now, can he look you in the eye and say that, yes, he does want to die an ignominious death, not in battle but on the road, then have to be left on the side or worse, put down as he rises back up as some kind of pitiful abomination ? All for want of a moment's courage ? Or would he rather cut that damn rotting arm off before it kills him ?

And, yes, carry Kani, there is not really much choice, you don't stand much chances of succeeding if you lose both her and Grok. Besides, you probably shouldn't trust Orma too much, best not be the last one standing in her way. Just in case. And maybe you'll get lucky and Grok'll cut off his arm sometime soon and still be able to carry her after that. You can always dream.

She's slowed, not dead weight, and leaving her to die means pissing off Gokk, which inevitably leaves just you and the snake, if you survive him, and will probably end with just Orma and a reanimated corpse. Plus, you didn't save her to let her die.

Keep snark to a minimum, Kani has been nice in spite of her pain. If your shoulders can handle her, better for her to sit there then piggyback: she has chest pain and you'd have fewer free hands. Also, even if she's hurt, EXPECT her to go for your ears as payback for hers.

The cute crazy old hag has a point, but you'll get through to him better with Kani's help. Gokk is still running away, by not acknowledging the truth of his infection. But it sounds like you should be moving quickly too.

Carry her, you did just save her after all.

you know im curious, is there any personal effects in erisol's clothing? i wonder if there's a name written on there or something or such. makes a man wonder who she was before being a sprite, or if she has always been one

Better Mint than Licorice, I'm I right?

Anyway, have you been able to tune up with the magical minerals in the mountain? ´cause we're looking forward to the great feats of magic you could be able to accomplish.

I have a better idea Pwndle! Magic surgery. We'll make it so you don't need glasses. And if that fails and melts your eyeballs? We'll make magic replacement eyes out of gems or something! And if that fails, we'll invent braille. It's fool proof. Trust us.

>>1096019
The mint might be Tislomer. She likes it. A lot.

>>1096055
Fighting words.

>>1096019
No rules that i know of.
You be nice to him.
Hes kinda new to, uh.
Existence.

oh yeah.
Guy talking to us. Long distance.
May have something to fo with point of origin.
Maybe some way he does it.
Maybe he really, really wanted a breathmint.
For all i know his psychic brainwaves flew through a humbug factory chimney.
Kinda weird but interesting.
Good to know youre alert to it.
Keep being awesome princess.

I don't get it, why did they spare you?

Feel like I've seen this movie... Is this "the time of vengeance and no life is worth saving"? So your race genocided them and then your race got genocided? So you plan on genociding them as vengeance? Just making sure the motives are what them seem to be.

By advancing robotics to the point that the machines replace the living.

Figure out how to get more money with robotics. We have a masters and a vestige of a comfortable life, can we swallow it and try and gain capital while we begin toiling on our killbots in our basement and/or garage?

>>1095861

It isn't just robotics per se. It's also general purpose AI. And Artificial Super Intelligence. Robotics goes WITH that, in case you want the ASI which will inevitably murder you AND them to use, say, 'a terrifying army of robots' rather than 'a supervirus which causes everyone to suddenly fall over dead all at once.', which it might be prone to do without a fanatic genius roboticist's specific type of support. Does the method matter, or just the result??
