Take his hat. Tell him he won't get it back until he tells you how to fix his eyes.

add "Because I'm naked right now!"

This is no serious matter either. This thing will get solved in... what a day tops? Look at how calm the boy is. He's not worried. Fucker knows he'll get his vision back.

Just ask him what happened.

Well, at least he's upbeat.

Also, this is a prime time to troll him and pretend you're prancing about naked.

I have every confidence this is short term. I mean, he's handling it pretty well!

"I still have to worry about you groping me anyway."

Oh shit, my grandmother was right.

But seriously, did this just happen all at once? Is this his punishment?

Try to determine the moment he got blinded. I'm guessing he was probably out of sight of the rest of the group and he'll either evade the question or blatantly lie, but we can still learn something.

Seductively pretend to get undressed to make sure he's blind.

And also so everyone else can say "Oh yeah you know that time when you were blind, everyone got naked" and then we can laugh.

Guys! How dare you try to make light of this situation. As a leader, I am supposed to watch over my party mates. I feel guilty for not doing that earlier, but they wanted me to relax...

"How did this happen, Tonberries? You're the only ones who are around camp."
Gazzene: "Indeed. No one else is around, and I am pretty sure Murdelp and Amina were too far. Gezzono and I were setting the tents up when he... he just fell down like this, saying that he couldn't see."
"Gazzene, don't you know anything that can cure his blindness?"
Gazzene: "I tried every spell that could help, but this one is no ordinary blindness. Someone must've cursed Gezzono with this!"

It's always some damn curse.

"Alright, I got nothing. I guess we're just gonna hafta take this one on the chin until a solution presents itself."

Gezzono: "Lady Sanyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! If my blindneeeeeeeeeeeeess causes delays in youuuuuuuuuuuuuur journey, then I woooooooooooooon't hesitate to kill myyyyyyyyyyyyself just for you toooooooooooo move on."
"Gezzono!"
"We go toooooooooooooo the Nocitomes Triiiiiiiiiiiiibe as planned. I know someoooooooooone there who can help with myyyyyyyyyyyy blindness, and with the caaaaaaaaaatboy's memories."

... I've never seen Gezzono go serious like this. Then again, he was the previous candidate before I am, or so he told me before.

Fine, I'll follow his request. Should I do something essential (beside the obvious "setting up camp" issues) before we rest for the night and move by tomorrow?

>>117183
Clench teeth, cry.

Ask why exactly this initiation is so important to him that he'd kill himself to make sure its done. This initiation sounds less worth the effort each time its talked about.

Gezzono: "Because once you paaaaaaaaaaass this, you can finally meeeeeeeeeeeet your father. Hopefully thaaaaaaaaaaat will make you happy, aaaaaaaaaaaand that will make me haaaaaaaaaaappy as well."

Oddly, due to your experience with Gezzono, I'm actually going to say you should trust him. Or, at least, that I don't sense any any ulterior motives. He's blind and for the moment he's not going to talk about it or try to solve in. So I suppose we'll have his sister act as his guide for the duration, while we continue our quest.

I can't believe I'm saying this but... ask directions from the blind guy.

Indeed, you gotta keep going. Just make a mental note to tortuously castrate whoever's responsible for this at the soonest opportunity.

I just don't like this look of helplessness Gezzono seems to be showing... He's sacrificed himself on numerous occasions just to help me out. Even if I do get to see my father, will it be worth the trouble he has gone through?

I guide Gezzono into the tent. Bite seems to be standing just outside, while the others told me that they're going to find more resources. They must still be terrified of Bite.

Maybe not, but he said he knew a way to help his vision, and that is along the same path.

Also this system of test taking needs overhauling. In other words, if nothing else, you may need to do it just so nobody else has to suffer through this crap.

Your party keeps expanding, but unfortunately you're still the biggest member, which means that if someone needs carrying, you're the mule. And quite unfortunate that you'd be forced to carry someone who'd try to cop a feel.

Ask Bite if he remembers Gezzono. After all, they've met before.

I look at the wound closely. It seems dug in a bit. The stone looks like it's been used as a projectile and hit Bite on the head.

"Bite, do you remember anything that hit you on the head?"
Bite: "No! No hitty on head! No I remember!"

Amina: "Anything wrong, Sanya?"

I just heard Amina. Is she up?

She's awake. Hmm, I'd have whichever of you is stronger gently restrain Bite in case he tries to struggle when the other takes out the gem. If possible. ON a side note, try to see if our tonberries can identify any of our more obscure items in the inventory...

"Judging from the looks of it, this must've been there for a few weeks now. There's a wound similar to the size of this just beside the stone."

Okay so that was a bad idea. Man if there are affection points in this game we've been going doooown with Bite from the get-go. Also I don't understand her last sentence. There's another wound, somewhere?

>>119680
>a wound similar to the size of this just beside the stone

so that means its a small shard of the stone that we found or he already has the stone somehow merged with his brain.

we will need to shave his head to see the extension of both wounds. also surprising to see he didnt got a infection from it.

cant we try to somehow merge with him? if we are supposed to counter the stone, we could try to teach him stuff.

Gazzene goes near Bite; he has already calmed himself down at this point. She lifts up part of his hair, particularly below the stone.

I see a scar about the size of the wound above it.

Hmm... so he had a different shard implanted in him before? Or, also possible, it's actually been inserted far enough that it's no longer sticking out? Someone call for an MRI. Oh wait, shit.

>>119687
we really cant take it out. its inside his brain already.

i so totally dont have how to consider this second wound. im inclined to belive he had the misfortune of being stabbed with the stone of not-smart in the head, wich then proceeded to lodge in his skull somehow not killing him to then leave trhu the second hole.

i am, of course, tripping balls.

Murdelp and the others are preparing themselves for our short walk to the Nocitomes Tribe. I'd better get going, too. We'll have plenty of time in that place, if we don't get overrun by angry weird inhabitants, of course.

"My guess is that this catboy has been inserted with a couple of other things before we could even meet him." ...Oh yeah and he'll have other things inserted in him before we're done with him.

I guess it's time to pack up and join the march. make sure to give Bite a sandwich or something to try to assuage the pain you've caused him. Discuss with the group how you all might remove the gem. Or can we simply, uh, un-corrupt it?

I was under the assumption that he already had a wife, since he's a king. Mhm.

Anyway, we need to divide ourselves into two groups, since we're kind of too big for a group to walk around together. I'll be leading one of the group, and Murdelp will lead the other one. Which two members should I take?

Also, here's the map of the Nocitome Tribe. For an isolated place, this sure has a lot of establishments to go to.

Don't have a strong choice? Don't worry, we're still checking in. I'll give you a few thoughts on my party mates, then.

Murdelp - He talked to me last night about his sister. I just realized that the kobold with the yellow flower was his sister, and he's a bit... uncomfortable knowing she's at camp. I think he wants my opinion on her.

Gezzono - He's blind, and the guy in my dreams said that someone in this tribe might help him out with his blindness. That, and the poor guy needs some consoling about it.

Amina - It's been a few days since we last trained together. I wonder how much she has improved. I'd like to train with her some more to see.

Gazzene - She's pretty much the party mate I least know. I'd really want to know more about her.

Bite - A shard is stuck on his head, and the guy in my dreams said someone in the tribe can help him bring his memory back. That will hopefully extract the shard out of his head.

----------------

We go inside the Inn. I hear some commotion going on.

"You call THIS a wallpaper?! For shame, Nocitome manager! What if the lovey-dovey king sees this disgrace upon your establishment?!"

This elf looks and sounds familiar...

Gezzono and Bite. Gezzono has a serious disability right now, and he's also the one that knows the most about Bite, so he can probably help you with his problem as well.

>>120625
Train with Amina. also check party stats to see where we are in terms of training progress.

>>120625

Amina for lesbi- because it's important to train with... for some good reason.

I'm torn between Amina and Bite, it seems.

The elf turns around.

"Gezzono?!"

He's the guy from the Armory in the Dorf Fortress!

Looks like he knows him. Gezzono really gets around doesn't he? Whisper to him if that guy's the one that can help his vision.

Gezzono and Bite. We'll help them out.

The elf tells me that he used to be Gezzono's party mate, way back when he was still the candidate. He is a swordsman, but also knows his way around magic and herbs.

Gezzono: "Heeeeeeeeeeeey there, Lenk. How's it gooooooooooing?"
Lenk: "How did you manage to get yourself blinded?!"
Gezzono: "Let's just saaaaaaaaaaaaay... an 'old friend' waaaaaaaaaaaaaanted to partake aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gift to me..."
Lenk: "... Why are you with the catboy? Didn't he..."
Gezzono: "He's uuuuuuuuuuunder Lady Sanya's caaaaaaaaaare... He's tamed noooooooooooow."

>>120676
Well maybe instead we should just leave these two to catch up and take Amina and Bite.

Changing my opinion to Gezzono and Bite... they're the ones we can most benefit.

Yes, Gezzono and Bite. If Bite gets mind controlled somehow Gezzono would be the one to help out with it, and besides, he's got to have some trouble with the whole not being able to see.

Amina, for lesbian sex.

If anything I'd say keep Gezzono in the same party as Gazzene.

Amina! BOOBS

Amina, because Bite is annoying.

Lenk: "Lady Sanya, I presume? You can gladly leave Gezzono and the rest with me. I'll see what I can do with his blindness; I can't guarantee you much, but you can at least get a solution from me."

I'd really want to help Gezzono out, but it seems all I can do is leave him up to Lenk. There's nothing much I can give to him.

I order the others to form into their group. Gazzene assures me that she has enough gold with her to make their stay comfortable.

Murdelp left the party!
Gezzono left the party!
Gazzene left the party!

Amina and Bite will have to stay with me.

Before we leave the Inn, Lenk tells me to go to either the Armory or the "Tailor Shop" at anytime. I wonder why we have two rendezvous points and an unspecified time to meet.

Anyway, where should we go first? We can always go outside if we go for some training.

>>121965
the clothes shop. Isn't it about time you and Anima had somethign else to wear? While you're there you could even ask the shopkeeper about bites magic mood-shirt.

>>121967
Yes, you could cover yourself a bit better than itty-bitty panties and top, Sanya.
It would probably cut down on the perversion from us, too; but you might not want something frilly like a dress ('cause that'll just screw up your mobility.)

>>121965

we need to take the catboi to a doctor too. i frankly belive his stone needs to be defeated by him, so we could try to teach him something.

I understand giving Amina her first weapon (or two), but I'm still confused if I should get the Halberd or the Platinum Platemail. I mean, sure they seem to be better than my current equipment, but I can only afford one of them.

If only I had enough money. Should I look for a quick job instead, or just buy the daggers and whatever you guys choose for me?

You have some protection, I'd think procuring a better weapon should be top priority.

Dunno about a job though....

And by protection I ment speed. :P

get a quick job as a waitress or something.
It's a wedding, there'll be an opening.

"The castle needs some extra help with preparations for the wedding. They could use an actual set of hands. It's just manual labor so the pay isn't good, but anything's better than this shitty job of mine."

I go inside the castle. I see a handful of Nocitomes moving things around... with their minds?! I guess that compensates for them not having hands, but still...

A gray guy keeps commanding them where to put the objects in. I'm guessing he's the chief around here.

Okay so for those who aren't as clever as I, "the candidate" is obviously Gezzono, as Bite killed his girlfriend, whats-her-face.

Huh... I wonder what it is that makes Bite so feral/beastial or whatever. I mean Amina's basically a walkin' talkin' cat and she's still rather sentient. If anything, Bite's got MORE human bits to him... and yet he's a combination of two mental sets. Perhaps the difference is that species like Amina's, Sanya's, and all the others are natural species, while perhaps Bite's a product of an unholy union? No, wait, wasn't there something earlier about it not being Bite's original body? Well maybe that's it... Maybe it's not a construct, but instead it's a case of the original body's owner being feral, and then someone put "Bite"'s mind in it as well so there are two minds in one body?

"- up, Bite! Snap out of it!"

He's vomiting all over the place!

>>124201
That would be because he's remembering how he was forced to eat other sentients.

Looks like you're forcing him to go down on you, Sanya... Stop doing that. Hold his hair back or something. He's just had a terrible flashback.

We kinda got a glimpse of some guy SHOVING A JAGGED FRAGMENT OF ROCK into our dear friend Bitey :<

I lift his head up.

"I... I'm so sorry... I ate her..."

I don't like the sound of that...

You're clearly unaware of what he's been through and is now remembering, but you'll have to trust us when it comes to this. This is his issue and if he wants to tell you about it, that's fine but I don't think it's our place to be telling you his secrets. Just trust me for now.

Hold him tightly and reassure him that it wasn't his fault, he wasn't himself. It's not his fault.

I hold him tightly.

"It's not your fault, Bite..."

He keeps crying, his shouts of psychological pain present. I... I know his sobs tell me that he's been living alone for who knows when. I still remember the memories I was able to see back in the forest.

Poor Bite. He must've been alone almost all this time... But, it makes me appreciate that I still have my mom. Perhaps, this is a reminder to me.

I hold Bite closer to me. He needs my company dearly.

"What is this mess?! You! Clean this up and get back to work!"

>>124277
Just make this face: >8I

>:C
I guess clean it up and get back too it. Try not to kill the asshole.
Hey, not now... good lord not now... but you should hand the courage stone and the wisdom stone over to Bitey. Maybe we could talk some sense into him.

If we are feeling particularly sane that day...
Here's a naval gazing question, if we get corrupted... would be the stone of foolishness?

Actually I say that 75 gold an hour isn't worth your friend. As you say, at the moment he needs your support dearly. Have Amina continue working, tell the guy you're going on an hour break and he can take it out of your paycheck. Comfort the catboy

I have a better idea.

"Amina! We're going!"

...that's a bit further than I would've taken things. After all, the entire object of this exercise was to gain money, but now you've KOed your employer. Well, I suppose there's some gain, as Bite's gained a bit of memory... Still, let's hope he's not a big official noarm dude

>>124302
Drat, we didn't get paid. Oh well, we did accomplish something with the time spent here. Hopefully nobody's gonna throw us in jail for knocking that guy out and shoving his face in puke. Or maybe everyone will just look the other way, and say he puked and passed out.

Anyway, let's go buy that platemail, a kite shield, and a dagger.

I guess no one could stomach that guy....8)

Steal the unconscious man's money. Enjoy your new life as a criminal.

>>124302
what!? that was pointless... now we have no cash and a criminal record

You left him in the vomit? Okay then it should be fine. Go back and get that gear, but protection is more important than offense.

tell everyone to eat shit and die then run away

I'm pretty sure what I did does not constitute a crime, though I'll admit that was a bit hasty of me to do that. Still, I don't like his bossy attitude, anyway.

We go out, but was stopped by one of the laborers.

"Umm... Excuse me... But can I ask you not to leave yet?"
"Is there anything important I should do here?"
"... Your highness requests for your specific presence in his room."

This is the only person in town who doesn't look absolutely batshit.

May as well do what he says. Get him to lead the way.

>>125880
Gezzono! What did they do to you?

>>125880
i keep telling you! you are the bride!

>>125894

... King Yelims has his own dining room? Looks more like one for guests, but still...

BY AMAZING COINCIDENCE YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE BRIDE

NOW SHE'S GONE MISSING AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER PLACE TO SAVE POLITICAL FACE WHILE THEY LOOK FOR HER AND IT WILL BE EVER SO DELIGHTFULLY AWKWARD

The wedding starts in a few hours. If I'm really the bride, I should be surrounded by Nocitomes, making me look beautiful for the wedding.

Besides, everyone here knows it's another Nocitome. You're not making any sense at all today.

Yeah, it's like sometimes we behave in a way that is opposite of 'wise'. I think we're a bit corrupted, but not fully.

He probably just wants to talk to you about your previous encounter.
