So, scan the area. What sort of security around here?
(by the way, I've sung all the way to the end of that song. I had to walk to a tech store. It takes about an hour.)

You know, Coralina. It occurs to me. You can't blame yourself OR Vresch for breaking the world. If you hadn't found and used that book of demonology, someone else eventually would have. And who's to say that person wouldn't have summoned something even worse?

Well, go in.

>Scan the area. What sort of security around here?
There are guardbots all around the city perimeter, although I'm being dropped off right at the city's edge. This looks like the drop off point for guardbot refugees.

...Do none of you have any ideas how to impress him? I couldn't get you to shut up an hour ago.

What do you know of his personality? Any idea what traits he respects?

Spill, quickly.

Order the guardbots to play the Imperial March as you enter.

>>26568
Be polite, if he flirts flirt back. Just be in general nice, show off your smarts when the chance arises. He certainly did like that about you before.

>>26568
Wear the gothic lolita outfit.

>>26568
be yourself; you impressed him without us when you summoned him; you can do it again. we're just about as in the dark about him as you are, so any advice we give will be generic and useless, or specific and really bad.

Make note of your surroundings. He did say he likes people who are intelligent, and an eye for details is a good indicator of some measure of intelligence.

>>26568
Keep your back straight and your head high. Be dignified and confident.

As the Guardbot leaves, it informs me to take route 000. I guess Vresch made himself right at the center of all of this.

>Be polite, if he flirts flirt back. Just be in general nice, show off your smarts when the chance arises. He certainly did like that about you before.
....The flirting, I am not looking forward to, but that I can certainly do.

This seems a good occasion for it. I'll change... somewhere... on the way there.

...However I get there.

How to impress him... everything that's said so far is good.
Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill-- actually, no. No, scratch that.
Be polite. Friendly. Dignified. Keep your head held high. Intelligent. He respects that.
Don't charge into anything. If you have to play his game, make sure you learn the rules. Keep an open mind, but don't lose sight of your objective. No matter what he, or the other voices, tells you.
You know what you want to do. The trick is learning how to do it. Anything that might conflict with this goal, or make it more difficult, you shouldn't do.

Plug in that route and change into that stunning outfit.

If the mono has an onboard intelligence, ask it to fill you in on the latest happenings around the world.

Punch in Route 000 and get changed. No sense wasting time. We need to meet and assess Vresch before we can make any real plans.

Alright guys. One more catastrophe I need your help with before we get there.

What the hell am I going to do with my hair? Its terrible.

>>26665
Not much you can.
Try to get it outta your eyes with a brush if you can.

>>26665
You could try firs combing it with your fingers, and then smoothing it with your palms. That could backfire, though. Also, remember what I said about posture? it matters even more in an outfit like this.

Check out those listings, and see if you can't find a route to a place that can do up your hair.

Just because those guardbots have the programming required to deny your request, doesn't mean the monorail does. Hopefully.

>>26665
Try parting it so some of the hair falls over your bad eye. Y'know, hide it a bit. At least until we can find you a nice replacement.

>>26665
Hairclips work well. But few guys can resist a girl in pigtails.

I don't think Miss Coralina's hair is really long enough to make pigtails work, though.

Umm... Probably not. A Binding Circle only matters if I can draw it up ahead of time, but it'll hold down anything inside it when I activate it. From there I can banish things to what I think is Hell.

I'd much rather not use it on anything other than Vresch.

Examine the row of monitors to see if any has the point of view of your dead eye.

Don't show you're nervous. Look him straight in the eye and say "Hello, Vresch." We'll let him start the conversation. Hopefully over some nice dinner.

We have plenty of time to get to business.

Monitors line the room, all blacked out, with some sort of port thing below them. I... I am getting the strong feeling those white boxes are NOT monitors.

"No need to thank me, Coralina. I have done nothing deserving of that just yet. I am very glad you finally arrived."

Also yes. His voice is definitely being put on surround sound. Not sure how high on the douchebag scale that rates, but it is probably pretty up there.

Maybe just be straightforward and inquire if there's something we can do to just make him leave. Though that might be a terrible idea, granted.

Lets go with the original plan. If I don't move my head around and stare blankly, I'll seem genuinely blind.

"Why else do you think I asked a guardbot to take me here? Are you worried about me? It's a little late for that."

"Worried? Yes! Very! This ruins everything! You were supposed to..."

>>29136
Is it just me, or is Vresch very... Human?

I mean, pride, anger, envy... the stuff that makes up most demons can be attributed to a lot of animals, who were, in fact, around a lot longer. Thus a lot of demons are beast like.

But this dude is based on somethingonly HUMANS or techno-capable aliens have. So... in effect, he's like people.


Ask him what he's talking about.

>>29136

Shit. I was about to say that might happen.

...Alright, just wait and listen, while looking for potential ways to escape. Also be prepared to replace that hair clip with another creature, in case you need to fight.

I need a face, Coralina. Someone to tell the people what the hell I am doing, someone new to 'overthrow' Rastin. Someone who knows who the real leader is, someone smart enough to adapt, someone creative enough to deal with whatever comes up.

Last but not least, something relavent to the quest. You might want to ask about what hes going to do, exactly, to make you "see again." Will he put replacement eyes in (real vat grown or cybernetic), make a new one (third eye in forehead thing), or something he pulls out of the blue?

We can benefit from this, have him just replace the right eye.

>>29183
Hmmm.... life as a puppet, eh? Well we can try and nudge him to make life better for all... or we could betray him eventually and usurp him.

If he can control technology whats to say he wont put a bomb in said eye.

>>29188
Right. It was his fault you lost that eye, so he has to replace it. Binocular vision would be too confusing after all these years, though.
(Keep in mind - if he couldn't watch what you were doing through your bad eye before, he will definitely be watching through the new one.)

>>29191

That's actually a good point. Letting the demon of technology put something in your eye socket doesn't seem like such a good idea, whether it'll allow us to see with it or not.

Next chapter, I suggest we think of a reason to refuse the eye replacement, but don't tell him we can see unless we really have to. Also, go ahead with the puppet thing, if only to get into position to eventually betray him.

>>29195
True, which would allow us to summon a creature and act through it while still having an alibi because he has footage of us never summoning it (has to be some way to summon discreetly).

We would gain more freedom than we would lose by getting our blind eye replaced.

Ask him what his plans for the future are. Maybe we can use this change of real leadership to switch to a kinder government... still a dictatorship, but with people living well enough to not revolt.

There's going to have to be some changes to the way things are handled if we accept it.
People are going to be suspicious if we "overthrow" him and then nothing changes.

DO NOT LET HIM PUT ROBOT EYES IN

It may be advantageous to reveal that we have an intact eye after all.

If you decide to reveal your functional sight, give him a coy smile before ya do.

The guy likes smart, and you just outwitted him in a relatively safe way.

As the door closes behind me, Vresch adds "If you need anything, anything at all, just dial for it there. Anything you want is on the house."

...The room has a bed, a wardrobe, a... television?, a lamp, and across from me is a speckled glass door to what looks like a bathroom. Next to the door is a console, and a poster that says Unity.

I don't really want to lead the world.

Guys... I don't know what I want to do.

But I think I am hungry.

It's okay, Coralina, don't stress about it. You don't have to accept his eye, and you don't have to accept his offer. For now, just get some food and try to relax. A good meal and some restful sleep might do you wonders.

By the way, you were great. You handled yourself with poise and dignity. Well done.

Vresch means business. Vresch is talking business.

Right now, Vresch is wearing the pants. You can't let him wear the pants. At the very least you have to give him a damn good run for his pants if he wants to keep them. Be more aggressive, bluff a little; hell, you have nothing to lose. He needs you as much as you need him, and the person who will come out on top with the pants is the person that convinces the other that they don't need them as much as they think they do.

Do use it, though. You could use some food. I don't suppose there's any way you could analyze food to make sure it's not full of wtf?

You could try feeling your away around the room as though blind,whilst searching for cameras.. Just dont make eye contact.

Fumble fumble fumble. I hit my knee once on the wardrobe... I wish I could say that was part of the ruse, but it will definitely help said ruse regardless.

Well most of my belongings are back home - food, water, spellbooks. With me, I have the pre-mixed stuff needed for the circle, enough for one about 1 meter in diameter. Its in an airtight case so I don't have to smell it. It reeks something awful. I am also carrying my trusty can opener and my spoon. If I'd thought ahead, I'd also have a can or two of beans and a bottle of water, but I didn't think ahead.

Maybe we should try to find out more about that cybernetic eye thing. Or what Vresch was planning to do if you could still summon. Maybe we could get one, and only one, in the eye we've already lost.

Well, so much for pretending to be blind.

And come on, Wilbur's cute.

>>30152
Ah. Do you think one lasting a day is possible? I was merely thinking that, if you decide to reveal that your actually have vision, you can play it off as thinking you had permanently burned out because it took so long to wear off.

>>30153
Well may as well get your eyesight back you just reacted to SEEING the mouse.

>>30153
If there are cameras and Vresch asks, tell him you heard squeaking coming from that direction. DO NOT BLOW YOUR COVER! You know what, why did we even need this cover in the first place? Is it really all that necessary?

>>30160
the cover was there for the sole intention of flacking up the conspiratorial air with unnecessary information, and hiding what few strengths we have.

>>30160
NOt anymore. It had potential because we didn't know what Vresch's plans were, and having him think us vulnerable would have given us an advantage if things came to a fight.

However, now that we need to gather information, its only a hindrance.

Now go to your room and sleep soundly for a while.

When was the last time you were this safe?

>>30411

Continue down the hallway. There's more rooms, right?

>Since we've already seen the throne, we've seen everything.
"Thank you for the tour, Bicardi. I'd like to go back to my room now."
"Certainly Madam. That last hall has the dining room and the lounge, for entertaining and negotiating with guests, but you can see those later."

After getting out of earshot of LeVerne and Rob,7, he looks around furtively, then adds "If you accept Master Vresch's offer, you would have Master Rastin's quarters, you know. LeVerne and I would not mind having someone aside from him commanding us... but I did not tell you that."

>>30421
SCREAM RAPE BAD TOUCH BAD TOUCH

Look surprised. Say "I thought he was just a puppet?"

>>30421
Maybe we can spy on Rastin, later.
Ask, "What's Rastin like?"

>>30421

Since he brought it up, ask about Rastin. What kind of man he is, and if he's stupid or somart or what. He's the leader of the world on paper, but we really don't know much about him.

LaVerne seems to have two cybernetic eyes. His comment makes me think Rastin might not have seen a girl in a while.

>>30428
Or he brings in barely-willing to unwilling women to ravish at his whim.

>Look surprised
Trust me, I don't need you to tell me that.
"I thought he was just a puppet?"
"He is. Master Vresch calls the shots on the political scale, but Master Rastin is still the 'face' of the world, and he still commands LaVerne and I."

"What's Rastin like?"
"He's a womanizer, and a murderer. He has some new cute thing in here every other day. They never leave, and Rob7 keeps carrying those bodybags out... Don't go near him. The man is a psycho."

...I notice his hand is robotic.

He then stands up straight, adjusts his tie, and adds a final "But I never told you that." before walking along. "Come along, Madam. You must be very tired."

...both of them are.

>>30453
Lets go talk this murderer. Maybe he attacks us... maybe we kill him in self-defence... maybe we still refuse to take his place... wuld be a nice little monkeywrench in the works, aye?

>>30455
If you do that Vrash would just find someone else, however you could use the fact he doesn't have a replacement as an angle to give ourselves more political power and in that case best case scenario is you use your mistake to form a better future.

>>30455

That's not exactly subtle. Plus, what is Rastin's powerful?

I think we should just go back and go to sleep. Not a lot to do here.

OK, we've explored.
Get to bed, Cora. You've got a big day ahead of you tomorrow

Careful now, it could all ve Vresch's doing so you'll hate Rastin and accept to get rid of him.

Well maybe we should explain to this guy what the demon has planned for him. Maybe he'll rebel and start doing something about Vresch for us.

I kind of like Vresch the charming technodemon more than I like Rastin the Whorekiller right now.

If you don't mind me saying, you are not capable of faking blindness on the long term. You are also clearly not happy with the idea of having a mechanical eye put in.

It is my recommendation that you get a good night's sleep, then tell Vresch you faked blindness to make you seem unusable as a summoner, because you don't want to summon anything on his behalf. You were testing him. He may get mad, but he'll also be a bit flattered, because he passed your test.

Do ask if there is any way to retire, however. Say you don't like the idea of being stuck in the job until he decides to kill you and have you replaced. It's a perfectly reasonable request. Say that if you can be trusted to be a figurehead, surely you can be trusted to be a RETIRED figurehead, right?


Alternately: Refuse at first, without revealing your sightedness. Be ready to fight your way out. (Remember to summon technology-disrupting creatures: Pikachus, Rust Monsters, Cyberkinetic Aberrants, I don't know what you can do!) If he allows you to leave peacefully, return and say you'll take the job. That was another part of the test. To see what kind of boss he is.

...What, you mean Rastin? Maybe... but I'm starting to think taking Vresch's offer might not be so bad. I could do something about the world from there, right?

>Get to bed, Cora. You've got a big day ahead of you tomorrow
Yeah... I really do.

...I don't know which plan I like more. Forced attempt at leaving, or ololo I tricked you. In either case, my answer is pretty clear - I need to take his offer.

Well, ten hours ago I was digging around in some random house.

Now I'm in a luxury suite, about to become puppet queen of the world.

You do a good job, Orb. Good night.

>>30479

D'oh! Missed the covers!

Its nice to hear some praise for once. You're welcome.

>>30489
Yeah, normally it seems like we just get bitched at all the time.

>>30510
It might have something to do with not hitting on her or trying to get her naked half the time.

Good morning.

Oh hey, another door. That'd be the bathroom, I guess. I was wondering why an evil overlord palace would be run like a dorm.

Moooorniiing~

Is that a note on the floor? Read it.

>>32722

Dear Hope, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue.
It's beautiful and so are you.

It is, yeah. I think I'm gonna go take a shower. Back in a while, Orb. Possibly a long while, I haven't had a shower in ages...

>Is that a note on the floor?
It'll be there when I get back. I'm gross.

It was fun, really! Haven't had a brawl like it since.

I'm not THAT evil.

So what are you doing here in the guest room, little guy? Are you the guest? Because it'd be pretty amazing if a little guy like you broke that entire desk over there by his lonesome.
