Shit.. man... I-I don't really know anymore...

Okay look.
You know your mother is alive and she's out there somewhere. I'm sure she missed you at least, probably more, than you missed her. Hell she probably assumed you were dead and that crushed her even more than the apparent death of your father. She's a wreck. She needs people.

So hey, look. Okay. You nearly had sex with your mother. But you didn't! That's important.

I'm sure this is awkward as hell for the both of you and your next reunion will surely be uncomfortable because of it, but I'll bet you anything that even right now she's feeling better because she knows you're alive. Sure she probably feels embarrassed and awkward just like you do, but goddammit, you're both alive.

You need to find her again, now that you know this.
You've been in more awkward situations.
I can't think of any, but I mean. Come on. Big picture here.

>>121503

...Dude...wash your hand.

Seriously.

>>121511
that is a truly amazing way of meeting your mom again. cue unicorns puking on the background.

well, as far as panicking reactions go, noone died so its fine.

you DID got where she lives right? its your mom anyway.

I TOLD you it was a bad idea.
Oh, you could have groped her, found out, then been in an awkward situation, but noooooo.
Had to try and fuck your mom. And kiss her.
You saw her naked.
Now that mental image will come up any time you try to have relations again.
Just punishment.

>>121503
WELL

At least she knows her son grew up to be a strong, noble man.

also seconding washing hand violently. it will help with the trauma.

>>121519
snrrk

considering the flatness around him, that will problaby help.

after you get off the shock, realize you found your mom's snatch.

>>121503
Ridder, I don't mean to plant any seeds of doubt or hope, but I think you knew your mother well enough.

She would not change hair colors like that. It is my opinion that this is a complicated illusion, perhaps by Orange Fang, explaining why the details were wrong. Explaining why the helm never came off. The helm is the key. If you see someone wearing a helm like this again, tear it the fuck off of their head.

Yeah, wash your hands,quick. RUN, GO TO THE BATH RIGHT NOW!

...Now, wait a second. Didn't you say yourself that your parents didn't have raven black hair, like that woman did? Something isn't adding up here...

>>121526

This.

Yep, be sure to wash your hand. With your tongue, take it oh so slowly and sensuously over each individual finger, and savor the taste of the juices that were sure to linger after your..."encounter"

Stay out of the Men's Bath for a while, Ridder. Trust us on this.

You really should go take a bath to wash away the taint from your body.

I already washed my hand thoroughly. Nakraska and Black Fang were in the bath, but I ignored them. I washed my hand the best I could, then came up here.

It seems I can only do things wrong. I felt so calm in her arms, the reason of which is obvious now, but I truly felt I finally found the woman that was right for me. Reassuring, dedicated.. It's all this damned romance talk that is getting to my head.

It is true that I am glad to see she is still alive. I understand that she must feel the same.
I suppose I should have talked with her more after the revelation but.. I couldn't. I couldn't look at her anymore.

It's the first time I've ever ran from something like that.

>>121504
He didn't actually say bye.

So why was her hair black?

>>121539
Such a reaction is perfectly understandable.

>>121539
Dude, you abandoned her. AGAIN. I don't care if you can't look at her, go back to the river and find her. If you must, simply keep your back to her.

at the very least go get your mount back.

Kind of a natural reaction, my friend.

...You're not gonna chop your hand off or anything, are you?

Because that would be a bad idea.

>>121539

Why doesn't anything ever go right for you, Chief?

>>121539
>It's the first time I've ever ran from something like that.
I kinda hope so. I mean... how many times HAVE you been close to getting it on with someone who turns out to be a relative?

Seriously, Ridder, buddy, didn't you say your mother didn't have that hair color? And not to mention you didn't see her face? Something's screwey around here... ahem, no pun intended.

>>121539
>It's the first time I've ever ran from something like that.
A clear sign that you psyche is degrading. Don't worry, you've probably got years until you go totally insane.

>>121503
PALADIN FALLS, good job

Well I'm sure she understood too.

But once this feeling of abhorrence passes you really should seek her out.
And it will pass.

>>121552
I agree, just think about it. What better way to break a mans will then to have him preform lude acts to his mother.

>>121544
Yes it is. He could have used a little more social finesse, but that's a real shock there.

>>121545
You shut up. He already feels bad enough. He ran away from his mom because the situation freaked him right the hell out.

Think what you would do if the first thing that happened between you and your mom after years apart was to nearly fuck her. You and everyone else would have a goddamn conniption.

>>121539
You, calm down. Take a slow, deep breath. Stop focusing on what almost happened, on what very, very nearly happened. Focus on what didn't happen, and on the good aspects of what did. You met your mom after how many damn years? She'd changed and you didn't recognize her is all. You made a mistake; everyone does. Just calm down and don't be so hard on yourself.

Time to start hitting the hard liquor, my friend.

>>121558
lewd. Lude would be like lube, but with a backwards letter. Or like jude, with a dot, I suppose.

Maybe you should just get yourself castrated if you're so damn ashamed every time you have a sexual encounter.
Fucking grow up.
This particular voice you're not hearing from again, because it is tired of conducting your boring life any longer.

Yes, alright. It is good that things did not go beyond what happened. That is very good. It is also good that I met my mother. Very good.
Alright.

Now, her hair. I remember her with very light blonde hair like mine. My father had darker red hair, but I inherited his yellow eyes instead.
How my mother got her hair black I don't know. Many things could have happened during our time apart.
But if it was not my mom, then why did I feel so at peace? Was that magic as well?

...Urgh--

I need to calm down.

Scratch my previous idea.
Get Iesgip, go back to where your mom was and find her.
Take some initiative to correct the situation now you awkward military man.
Go! It wasn't your fault! You were confused.
But you aren't now!
If it was your mother, you get some insight into the past.
If not, you won't feel as bad.

>>121573
Ridder, you have shown yourself to be mentally incapable of being at peace. I can only assume it was some sort of alluring magic. I don't know what the caster intended, but I'm guessing it was something nefarious indeed.

Booze.

Find some booze. It has to be at least 50% proof at this point.

C'mon, Ridder. It is when people are stressed to the limits where one defines their character. I know you are a noble person. I wouldn't be speaking to you like this if you weren't.

You have to find your mother again and talk. You need to resolve this before it leaves an everlasting scar on your soul. You need to define who you are. Be resolute.

Get alcohol. Seriously man, it does help these kinds of things. What's your mom's name anyway?

Also you seem like you need company. Company of someone that isn't related to you. Ask Grek if she can come talk to you for a bit.

Going with the booze suggestions.

>>121573
Magic... can do a great many things. It can trick the mind, muddle the senses, even show things that aren't there.

However, aside from other magic, it can be rather hard to differentiate what is not real from what is. The only real way we currently have to tell if there was anyone there but yourself is to take a knowledgeable tracker back to the exact spot you were and to see if it looks like two people had been there or one. The area that the, er, "struggle," happened would likely yield the most conclusive results. An illusion cannot leave physical signs, in most cases.

You could hand us off to Iesgip and send her out to look at the spot while you calm down if you wanted, Ridder. It's a tracking mission; low-danger, unless the magician that made the illusion is still around.

>>121587
And while she's at it, ask her to get something to the tune of a tranquilizer. Your brain's gonna hemorrhage if you don't get some relief.

I suggest against the drinking actually... drinking and voices do not go well together (hell it's what got you into this whole business in the first place.)

Also, it is common knowledge that when a man wants a family he often effects to recreate his own. You want a family... you cannot deny that.

But it is unfortunate that you happened to unwittingly attempted to use some of the old components of your old family to recreate a new one. New cloth sewn to old will ruin them both, new wine in old wineskins, ect, ect.

Anyhow... I must agree that you must confront her again... as soon as possible.. she probably feels as awful as you do (if not worse. remember the fact that her being alone likely means you father is dead or missing... thus her fears of abandonment.)

A fearful as you are.. you are a knight... it would not due to have possibly your last living meeting with your mother have such a "dishonorable" tone. Besides, if your father 'is' dead then you are likely her only living family this side of the barrier... it would not do to have her wandering about when you have a home.

>>121573
You were so at ease with her because your body reacted to her scent. It was an instinctual thing, and then you acted upon it because of all the romantic stress you've been under. As for her hair, I can hypothesize that she is in disguise for some reason. On the run from her people, perhaps?

That might help, but only a half or quarter dose. Logical thought is still needed.

Wash your hand again. It's still not clean. It will never be clean now that you have caressed your mother's honeyed nethers. Your lips have met hers, and they shall haunt your mind with their call... Now that you have brushed so closely to that forbidden fruit, the urge to bite into the delicious flesh shall linger at the back of your mind. In your most intimate of moments... would you call her by name... or would you call her mommy?

Additionally, you should send Iesgip to the stream, to try and track her trail to see where she is, and deliver a message as to your location so she can come visit if desired.

Or you could just wait. Is your mom a capable tracker?

>>121574
Well you could get wasted and chill out in the bath.

Very well. I can not avoid this.
I have to make up for the twice cowardice by facing her again. I will return to where we met.
If she is not there anymore.. I shall return again with Iesgip. However, if she is there, I prefer to speak with her alone.

I do not have any alcohol in my possession. Perhaps one of my followers has any, but if I want to hurry then I can not ask all of them.

>>121764
I bet Grek has some.

>>121764
Grek might want a little somethin' somethin' in return for having some of her alcohol, you could bring some gold with you to give her for funding her experiments and then afterward mention that you don't have any alcohol yourself but want to celebrate your victories a bit. If that goes wrong you could check with Iesgip and see if she has any alcohol or some recreational herbs you could take instead. If Grek and Iesgip are no help, you should probably just go.

Try Iegsip. Remember: shes the cook. If you have drinkable alchohol, its with her.

Ah, and TAKE IEGSIP WITH YOU.

Seriously. what are the chances that shes still there? Kinda null, IMO.

Coming back to base to grab Iegsip to THEn track her might be too much time wasted. Just take Ieg with you.

NO, No alcohol! I'm warning you Ridder... if you must have a drink, wait until after you've spoken with your mother.

You have shit luck with mind effecting influences of all kinds, so lets do this shit sober. If you want to drink yourself to sleep tonight that's your business, but do it later.

Also, if we need Iesgip for tracking we can bring her later... I can understand not wanting to bring her immediately.

Yeah you should probably try Iesgip first, I'm not sure I would want to drink something from Grek.

Ridder, what does your penis look like?

>>121773

Probably like a duck penis.

>>121771

I second that motion.
Alcohol = Bad, it will just make everything go worse.

If you want to calm down, take a bath or meditate or stuff.

>>121775
He doesn't have time for that. He needs some alcohol or herbs mang.

No no, find Iesgip, get booze. This should be your top priority. Any voice that tells you different is just CRAZY.

I believe you underestimate the consequences that bringing Iesgip will have. Most likely it will mean she sees an oppertunity to woo me, and Sticks will shadow us to prevent her from getting the upperhand.
I will not have the chance to properly face my mother, which will already be very difficult.
Unless you can come up with a [i]very good reason to bring Iesgip, I am ruling it out.

I check the women's quarters to see if Iesgip or Grek are present. I find Grek and Petal, who appear to be massaging eachother's feet.[/i]

"Grek, do you any alcohol I can borrow?"
"..Y-yeh, check th'cepberd."

I check the cupboard next to the door. Inside I find a bottle of clear white liquid labelled 'alchohol' amidst a plethora of other bottles.

"..T-tek th'bettle. Tes' fine."

The last time he drank he fucked a cat... let's 'not' have a repeat.

...Before you go, ask her if it's the drinkable kind. Then leave very fast.

>>121779
Stop interrupting everyone hooking up. Also, do NOT drink that alcohol, it will make you violently ill.

>>121779
Erm... that is the kind you can drink right?

>>121779
Pause, and say "...this -is- the kind you can drink, right?"

>>121779
erm... I think this is the highest proof stuff Ridder... not... Drinking Alcohol per se. More like, alcohol for cleaning and stuff.

DON'T BRING EET!

And how 'bout you bring a guy with you... maybe Nakraska? We need to stop bringing women and consequently having them fall in love with you. I find it safe to assume Black Fang won't wanna screw you or marry you or something... I think...

Confirm drink-ability, then head down to find your mom.

Also, drink booze.

>>121779
You're just gonna have to make your own drink. What's your favorite drink (soup isn't a drink)? Just splash some into it.

>>121779
This is the drinking kind?

>>119941

Uh. Ridder? You might not want to drink THAT alcohol. That's most like likely the kind of alcohol used for sterilizing wounds.

Ask if she knows where to find any whiskey. That'll do the job.

I am still not exactly clear on why alcohol is a good idea in this situation anyway. Just skip it and get a move on.

Wash your hands with it. It removes any bacteria and kills anything it touches.

I suppose sober will have to do.. besides, we wouldn't want to puke on her and babble like a child after finding her and trying to apologize/explain yourself.

Very well, I shall go sober. It is probably for the best.

I pour some of the alcohol on my hand. From the way it burns I gather it is enough to wash away all the taboo.

"Do you know where Iesgip is?"
"Neh."
"I think she went out to hunt."

Ok, enough of these distractions. Are you this afraid of facing your mother again that you must throw away time in hopes that you won't have to face her again? Do not give in to this cowardice. You must go, now. Before it's too late and you will never see her again.

.. In other news have you considered which hand you're going to use for masturbating in the future? Your right hand that you sticked in your mom's moist void or your left so you can better imagine her riding you like a wild deer?

No, there's only one bath. Even so, I won't bother saying such a thing.
Petal, Grek, Nakraska and Black Fang are simply being friendly, and I highly encourage camaraderie amongst my ranks.

But, very well, enough delaying. I rush onto my mount and set off.
I follow the outskirts of the forest to the river. It is still as quiet and peaceful as it was when I escaped here from you.

...and you get all freaked out over women wanting to suck your dick? You have strange priorities, Ridder.

Personal choice, it's ok for others to choose how they want their relationships as long as Ridder can choose his.

Call out your mothers name while looking where you found her first. Hopefully she won't avoid you out of embarassment.

Call out and gain the attention of the trap. I mean, your mom.

As I approach the river I begin to call out for her. At first I went to cry out 'mother', but quickly realize that calling her name would be better.

"Ritari! Ritariii!"

This is no answer.

"Ritariii!"

Then suddenly I spot her standing next to the river, as if all this time she had been waiting for me.
