...I think we just forgot everything you just said.

No of course we didn't forget. We know exactly what you're talking about. My only question is, what on earth are you going to do with a year's supply of anchovies wrapped in wool stockings?

>>173589
What? Are you trying to trick me?
>>173595
...Okay, I guess you really did forget. We're going to Lichblilm. I'm going to apologize to him.

okay then. let's see, last we remember is lich nir leaving.

>>173602
It's only been a couple days since that happened. I went on the date with Xom and I totally ruined it. He probably never wants to see me again. I'm such a horrible person. I really don't deserve to apologize to Lichblilm. I don't deserve to have any friends at all.

woah woah woah!! how did you blow it with xom? i highly doubt you did.

Oh no. What happened?

>>173608
>>173612
I stuttered a lot and didn't talk much and I accidentally spilled something on Xom and now I'm a loser and no one wants to date me anymore

HA! is that all? you could have done a lot LOT worse.

>>173624
You're sure? I really don't see how it could've gone worse.

you could have set him on fire.

Wait what did you spill on him?

>>173633
Well, I suppose that's worse.
>>173636
I spilled some of the wine I had on him. I should've told you before, but I'm a little depressed because I ruined the date.

we'll judge that. after the date what did you do?

You know how couples always have crazy stories about how they met and stuff?~

>>173644
After the date, I asked everybody to leave me alone for a while. I went inside an empty hut and cried. Nir said he was worried about me, but I told him to not be.
>>173645
Um, no I don't. What about it?

I'm sure he doesn't begrudge you for that, he can probably just dry them with his mind. Ease up on yourself, you tried really hard, he must've seen that.

>>173663
Is... Is there any way to know that for sure?

>>173664
just call him up and ask, that's pretty much all you can do with him since he can't be found any other way. all other options we could use wouldn't work.

>>173666
I... I'm sorry, but if I call him and he hates me, he'd just kill me. Can you ask him yourselves? I'm not blocking external communication.
To use external communication, type "@name:message"

@xom: hey Xom, could you assure Rojo that you aren't mad? she thinks that if she calls you, you are going to make her explode or something because she spilled some wine on you.

>>173670
{[I'm not mad. I'm just a little disappointed. The date could have gone better if she was more confident in herself. I can't tell her in person unless she calls me. You can try and subconciously influence her.]}
To subconciously influence people, say [subconcious suggesestion:message]. Subconcious suggestions have to relate to the concious suggestion, otherwise it won't work.

@Xom: Agreed. Girl needs confidence. We'd rather not mess with emotions if we can help it though.

Hey Rojo, stop moping and talk to him. If he kills you we'll just find a way to bring you back to life.

>>173684
Alright. I'm taking a huge risk here. For you. If I die, I'm going to kill you. I call upon Xom. He appears out of nowhere with a bouquet of flowers. They smell good. Xom smiles.

now let that be a lesson for you.

Show how much confidence you really have. Give him a little kiss.

>>173690
He could just be luring me into a false sense of security.
>>173692
But- but if I kiss him wrong, he might get mad at me and kill me! I don't want to die!
Xom:"What are you waiting for? You know you want to."
N- no! I... I don't want to kiss him wrong!

you mean a RIGHT way of kissing someone exists?! i had no idea!

seriously though, if you mess up then you just have to keep trying until you get it right, if you catch my drift.

>>173694
There's no wrong way to kiss; you're being paranoid.
Xom is attracted to confidence, so just walk up and take his lips by force. He's not going to do anything to you.

Kisses are situational. It is often difficult to tell how you should kiss someone. With practice you can develop an intuitive knowing for it, but for this particular situation, the right way to kiss someone is bowl him over onto the ground and kiss him on the mouth.

oh yeah, here
>"I'm not mad. I'm just a little disappointed. The date could have gone better if she was more confident in herself."
in other words, the only thing he didn't like about the date is that you were afraid.

>>173696
>>173697
>>173698
>>173699
I... I'm going to kiss him. Please don't get mad at me if I do it wrong. I walk up to him and pause. It's hard to look at him. I don't know if I can do this...

Now is not the time to think! It is the time to act! Now kiss the sonofabitch!

do it fast!!

[subconscious suggestion: DO IT!]

>>173703
>>173704
I... I gently grab Xom's head and kiss him while awaiting for my extermination.

...

Nothing's happening. I'm still alive.
Xom:"Was that so hard? Why do you think I'm angry? To tell you the truth, you're kind of cute. You'd be even more so with more confidence."
Xom hugs me. Gods, I don't know what to do. He just called me cute but I'm not cute and I make everyone's life miserable and Xom is just messing with my head and I don't know what to do...

Hey, you stopped being a jerk and became Nir's friend. That's definitely worth some props. Ease up on yourself a little and it'll be easier to be a nice person. Also, you are definitely cute. Empirical studies prove this.

>>173706
I... I really don't think that's true. I have a hard time trusting people, including myself. I've been a jerk to Dedea, Carg, and Arkan. I've also been a jerk to you guidance spirits as well. I've even been a jerk to myself.

>>173709
You're suffering from inadequacy issues. It's very common, and almost always unfounded.
In your case? If we had a body we would show you just how attractive you are~

@Xom: I think you should give her a bit of proof for the sincerity of your words.

>>173710
But it is fonded. I was doing the wrong thing when I wanted to be a black mage. I was doing thr wrong thing when I burned the town down. I was doing the wrong thing when I went on and killed thousands of kobolds. I was doing the wrong thing when I tortured Nir. I was doing the wrong thing when I attacked Magun. I was doing the wrong thing by being paranoid and not trusting others. I really don't see how people want to trust me. I've done horrible things. I'm a monster.

And you're remorseful for it. You screwed up, but now having realized that you can do good stuff instead. I wonder if you could bring some of those kobolds back to life, given enough power and practice... and Nir already forgave you for hurting him.

>>173712
No, a monster wouldn't be so upset over it.
If you don't trust yourself, then ask Xom to become your master and help you improve yourself.

>>173714
That's true... But I don't think I'd be able to become as powerful as Ryth.
>>173715
Xom becoming a master? Do you think he'd allow it?
Xom:"Yes, I'll allow it. Now, can you please hug me back? You deserve to hug people. You deserve friends. You deserve happiness."

Good enough for us, give 'im a hug.

>>173719
I give Xom a hug.
Rojo:"Thanks."
Xom:"No problem."
We stop hugging.
Xom:"I'll let you pick the time for our second date. Think it over."
He smiles and disappears into thin air. Wait, did he just say second date?

Nice. You've got some planning to do.

>>173722
I guess I do, but for now, I have some apologizing to do. I think I reached the place. There's an old shack here.

knock and announce that you are there.

>>173731
I walk up to the door and knock on it.
Rojo:"Hello? I need to speak with Nir."
After a while, a brunette girl in a black cloak opens the door.
Brunette:"And who, might I ask, are you?"

>>173745
"A fool in need of redemption and forgiveness, by the name of Rojo."

>>173747
Rojo:"A fool in need of redemption and forgiveness, by the name of Rojo."
The brunette raises an eyebrow.
Brunette:"Maybe I can crack that brain open when you're done talking to Nirblilm. He's in the basement right now. I'll show you the way."
Okay, the way she said she'd crack my brain open is highly unsettling.

Good think you can kick her ass if need be. She's probably just being facetious though. Continue on.

>>173776
Or maybe she was speaking metaphorically. She could be a psychologist, after all.

>>173776
Um, I hope she was being facetious. I really don't want to hurt her.
>>173779
A... psychologist? What's a psychologist?

they talk to people and help them deal with their problems. such as your low self-esteem and mild self-depreciation, which we have helped you with a little by showing you that your fear of messing up with Xom was unfounded.

>>173784
So, after I talk with Lichblilm, I can get help from her? I just realized I don't know her name. She could be offended if I ask her.

>>173786
So ask Nir instead.

>>173787
Oh, okay. I hadn't thought of that. The brunette leads me into the basement. I can see Lichblilm staring at me.
Brunette:"I'll leave you two alone. This sounded like something that needed a private conversation."
The brunette heads back upstairs. Lichblilm is still staring at me. There's a long silence.
Lichblilm:"Why have you come here?"

tell him. we can't tell you what to say or else it wouldn't be from you but from us.

>>173790
You're making this hard for me.
Rojo:"Nir, I... I came here to apologize for not trusting you. I'm sorry. It's just that I have a hard time trusting anyone. Including myself."
Lichblilm:"So... all that probability stuff was an act? Your optimism was an act?"
What is he talking about?

tell him "i'm not the rojo you know, my past is a lot different. you messing with time has had more far reaching changes then simply the tribe not getting killed."

Rojo:"I'm not the Rojo you know, my past is a lot different. You messing with time has had more far reaching changes then simply the tribe not getting killed."
Okay, is it possible you can give me some info on Lichblilm's past?
Lichblilm:"...What do you mean? Is this one of your jokes? Secret weddings?"
...Secret weddings?

>>173797
It seems that he expects everyone in this timeline to act how they did in his timeline. Odd. Well, tell him strait up that in this universe, people arnt the same as in his. Because of that, you have honestly no earthly idea what he is talking about. Furthermore, there is no way we could know what he is taking about because it would be completly out of context in this timeline.

>>173798
>There is no way you could know what he is talking about.

Spelling error, this is what I meant to say.^^

Oh dear, Nirblim-lich is as confused as we are. xD

In his past, you had another less... omnipotent significant other, and she made us promise not to tell anyone ever about that "secret wedding". So we can't tell you, sorry.

We can say that Nirblim is a lot more bitter than the one you know. He was also obsessed about finding his own sister, though now he might be different since he found a way to save the entire tribe. He's also more than 40 years old, for what that's worth, because we advised him not to become a lich until he needed to and kobolds live about that long.

Only other advice I can think is... don't frustrate him if at all possible. If he gets frustrated he starts thinking everything is "stupid" and gets all irritable and needlessly violent and stuff.

>>173859
Oh wow... He sounds like he needs a hug.
>>173798
Rojo:"Um, Nir, this universe isn't the same as yours. People aren't the same as in your timeline. Because of that, I have no idea what this wedding your talking about is. I'm not trying to frustrate you. I'm only here to apologize for not trusting you."
Lichblilm:"Wait, why did the timeline change? It should've stayed the same."

>>173940

Uh.

Wasn't Nirblim trying to change the timeline? Tell him that yes he is from a different timeline, but you don't know why. Ask him if there was anything he did that might have made things any different than when he came from?

>>173940

Oh also, last we saw hugs just made him squirm and protest. Nothing we could do would cheer him up. He might've loosened up since then...

the butterfly effect. when put us here it made everything change.

actually, anything at all could have changed it. him simply existing here probably caused a LOT of changes, didn't he say he was here for a 1000 years?

>>173975
>>173988
Rojo:"Um, what do you mean?"
Lichblilm:"I mean the only thing that should have changed is the tribe not being attacked and killed."
>>173976
Rojo:"Do you... need a hug?"
Lichblilm:"No. Hugs are stupid. Rojo, what exactly changed in your past?"

tell him " i used to be a jerk and tried to take advantage of this Nir, but he became my first friend. i have taken up white magic. i have a date sometime with Xom. in short, everything."

>>173996
Rojo:"I used to be a psychopathic jerk and tried to take advantage of this timeline's Nir, but he became my first friend. I've taken up white magic. I have a date sometime with Xom. In short, everything."
Lichblilm puts a hand to his head.
Lichblilm:"This is stupid. Just go away. I need to think. Alone."

"while i don't know what's going on, the guidance spirits do a little. they say your version of Mary shaw gave you your first steak."

if he doesn't say anything else or asks you to leave again then leave.

Rojo:"while I don't know what's going on, the guidance spirits do a little. They say your version of Mary Shaw gave you your first steak."
Nirblilm:"Yeah, and I don't know why she changed. And I thought I told you to fucking leave."
I think that's my cue. I leave the basement.The brunette was there waiting for me.
Brunette:"How'd it go?"

"poorly, i think i should go."

>>174006
Rojo:"poorly, I think I should go."
Brunette:"Wait."
She pulls out a blank piece of paper and hands it to me.
Brunette:"If you need someone to talk to, just write on this piece of magical paper. I have another one like it I can use to write back to you. Is that okay, Rojo?"

HA, she is a therapist! ask her name and and thank her.
someone you can have 'girl talk' with should be nice. as well as her job of figuring out how to make you think better about yourself.

>>174015
Rojo:"Um, what's your name?"
Brunette:"It's Neophyte."
Rojo:"Thanks a lot."
I hug her. She hugs back. I don't get how Lichblilm doesn't like hugs. They're comforting.

Hugs remind him of his mother, who was torn to pieces in front of him. lol I dunno actually, but I bet Neophyte has him psychoanalyzed.

>>174034
Well, I don't know what that means, but I think Neophyte's helping Lichblilm out. We break our hug and say our goodbyes. Along the way out of the shack, I come across a person with short, blonde hair. I'm guessing his name is Androgyn. I think that's a name Carg said.

Hey Rojo, next chance you get, send us to the lich. For now, uh wait, what were you supposed to do with this guy again?

>>174066
I came here to apologize to Lichblilm, which I did. I'm on my way out, so sending you to him will have to wait the next time I see him. What is it you plan to do?

>>174067
he meant 'what do you do about Androgyn?'

>>174069
Nothing. He just happened to pass by me as I was leaving. Why would I have to do anything with him in the first place?

i dunno. that's probably why he was asking. anyway. let's head back to the tribe and see how our Nir is doing.

>>174071
Yeah, I want to see if he's doing okay as well. I probably should've brought him along. I start to head back to the tribe.

>>174074
it probably wouldn't have helped. lich nir would also have to wonder why your nir isn't as manic depressive as he is.

What an asshole. He was NOT like this before.

>>174075
You... You're probably right. Lichblilm probably would've killed Nir or something like that. And this secret wedding thing has my curiosity, What exactly is it?

No idea.

No really, we have absolutely no clue.

other rojo and her guy planned a bizarre secret wedding that somehow required him to act like a HUGE asshole for it to work.

>>174079
Well, what about this other Mary Shaw? What was she like?

>>174087
We dont know much, but she SEEMED nice. Which is really freaking wierd, considering how nasty ours is.

>>174089
Well, you told me ours was a corrupted deer of death. She might not have been corrupted in Lichblilm's timeline. Or she was just acting and picking the right time to torture Nir.

>>174092
well, that mary was his teacher. and we only thought she was a deer based on the knowledge we had at the time, we now realize that that was a false assumption. this mary is powerful but her dream attacks are just an extremely powerful magic power.

>>174094
So then why is she attacking Nir? Wait... Was her speech exactly like our Mary Shaw?

Mary's speech wasn't nearly as one-track when we saw her past. Perhaps something happened to her, or Nirblim did something to her. (She does see Nirblim as some kind of god these days after all.) All she had was the "ability to influence" someone's dream, not the ability or the inclination to enslave them through it.

It's too bad we can't control this strange sort of time travel. We're but dandelion seeds in the wind.

Oh, also, Rojo. Your talk with Nirblim went swimmingly. Splendidly. So don't kick yourself too much over it. He really is that acerbic, if it's possible to imagine. It could have gone a lot worse. You're still on speaking terms with him, and you're not fighting for your life in an epic battle.

>>174109
My conversation went well? Th- Thanks. I tried my best, but I still don't think it went as well as you think it did. It kind of sucks to see we're back at square 1 with Mary Shaw. I thought we had a lead.

>>174117

It's possible now that Nirblim knows Mary Shaw is whacked out looney he might try to do something to stop her. Among other things, he'll be oh so pleased to learn that she's giving Nirblim nightmares. But probably best to stay well out of the way of that if you can.

We also know Mary Shaw is a black mage, and her dream involvement is her characteristic special ability, so that's good information.

Also now we know that either Nirblim sucks at change history, or there is another time traveller at work here. We also know that neither Neophyte nor Androgyn is impossible to walk past without being attacked by horrible nightmare fuel magic. So that means we don't need to freeze the entire city and kill them on sight. Otherwise yeah it's true, not many leads.

>>174120
So what do you think we sho- GAH! That flash of light almost blinded me. There's a... an anthropomorphic raven wearing white clothes and some golden armor standing here. I guess it's a ravenfolk, but I've never heard of a ravenfolk before. It's holding a blue and gold staff.
Ravenfolk(?):"I've been following you and your guidance spirits for some time now."

Oh boy. Ask her why, it's not like we're interesting.

>>174132
Rojo:"Um, why?"
Ravenfolk(?):"Ryth is corrupted. She's no longer any use of the god of resurrection. Amaterasu sent me to pick a new candidate out of all the white mages. You're one of the lucky ones. If you manage to please most the gods, they'll extend your lifespan so you have a better chance at ascending. Do you understand?"
Oh gods, what's going on?

You might have a shot at godhood, Ryth is apparently going crazy. Suggest you take it, setting right what once went wrong with resurrection is a good endeavor, and you won't have to be afraid of liches or anything.

Tell her you understand, but it seems strange... Why is Ryth corrupted? She taught you, did she seem unstable in any way?

>>174136
She did seem a little detached from her emotions. Plus the way she just suddenly disappeared a few months ago along with our Mary Shaw. I didn't notice anything else, though.
>>174135
Rojo:"I understand. I think."
Ravenfolk(?):"Good."
It walks a little closer to me while using the staff as support.
Ravenfolk(?):"There are going to be 6000 participants in this contest. 幸運を祈る. Now I'd better get back to Japan, unless you want me to clarify something more."

>>174140
Japan? Ravenfolk?

Rojo, I think that might be a tengu.

>>174142
Tengu:"I can hear you guidance spirits. Allow me to clarify myself. I am Yatagarasu, the god of divine intervention. I was once a demon, but I have ascended a really long time ago."
That's 3 gods I've met now.

well i think you already got Xom's vote. now how do we go about getting the others?

>>174149
Rojo:"How do we get the other gods' favor?"
Yatagarasu:"It's simple. Someone who is hidden from our watchful eyes is corrupting deer of death. In turn, more and more ghosts will appear. Eventually, the world will be destroyed by these ghosts. Your goal is to find out who's corrupting the deer of death and bring them to justice."
He wheezes slightly.
Yatagarasu:"Sorry about that. I hate talking too much. Kifu has refused to make new deer of death until the corruptor is dead. This will m- make it easier for the people whom I choose, as there will b- be less corrupted attacking you."
He coughs a bit.
Yatagarasu:"I- I'll be okay."

>>174156
Looks like someone needs a bit of healing. Also, do you think this might havve something to do with Mary Shaw?

>>174284
Rojo:"Do you need healing?"
Yatagarasu:"No, I'm a white mage m- myself. It's simply old age. I am one of the first g- gods in existence, over 6 billion y- years old."

>>174284

Of course this has something to do with Mary Shaw. This is the most awesome quests of awesome ever. You should totally take him up on his offer.

Also if he's six billion years old then he wouldn't have had lungs to wheeze with back then in the first place, so either way he's yanking your chain. A six billion year old god would be like... protoplasm or something...

Anyway, help him up if he stumbles or looks unsteady. Otherwise get ready for this once and a lifetime opportunity.

Plus if you say no and the other 6000 fail, then you'll be dead anyway when the world goes kaboom, so you might as well.

>>174497
Yatagarasu:"Heheheh... You guidance s- spirits don't know how old the universe really is. It has already existed f- for a very long time b- before I was born. I was n- not born on earth."
Rojo:"Um... I... I accept the contest. If everyone else fails and I say no, the earth would be destroyed anyway."
Yatagarasu:"非常に良い. I h- hope you do well. You may continue on. I n- need to rest here to regain my s- strength."
I'm not so sure I can save the earth...

well we have several advantages the others probably don't. the biggest of which is we have a non-corrupt deer with us.

>>174526
Well, that's true. Everybody else probably thinks deer of death are evil soul stealers or something.

>>174542
Yeah, they probobly do. Now get on over to the tribe. I wanna see how Nir's doing.

>>175000
I'm walking there right now. I'm starting to feel hungry, so I get some lettuce out of the back I bought with to eat for lunch. It's not much, but once I can get back to the tribe, I'll be able to eat mre.

so anything else happen in the days we were gone or were you a little out of it and not notice?

>>175083
I'm sorry. I was a little out of it. If anything happened, I might not have noticed it. I enter the forest.

hmmm. so where do you think would be good place for that date?

>>175100
I... I don't know. The best place I can think of is in the town Agician, but I really don't know any good restaurants there. If I choose a bad place to have a date, Xom might not like me.

>>175104
He's a deity, Rojo. He could make feces taste like filet minion.
The point is that he does like you, and wants to spend time with you. It doesn't matter where you go or what you do, as long as you get that confidence of yours up so you can be yourself around him.

>>175109
...You're right. I need to start talking with Neophyte soon. She'll help me. I still need help. Those 7 months thinking alone did nothing but suppress my evil side. I need help from other people in order to fully erase it.

>>175114

Why yes, Neophyte seemed like a nice person. Talking with her via magic paper surely won't send you into a spiral of mind bondage and fanatical slavery.

>>175145
haha, man. you only need to worry about things like that in person. sending magic through a linked magic item is like trying to send a bowling ball through a drinking straw. it just wont work.

>>175145
Gods damnit, I need someone who I can talk to and trust! If I can't trust Neophyte, then who the fuck can trust?
>>175153
Oh, gods damnit! Please don't scare me like that! It really hurts. I'd banish you guidance spirits for that, but Nir wouldn't like that.

>>175155
if you could i would suggest just banishing that one. he likes 'trolling' as in lying to people just to piss them off.

>>175157
Well, Nir might want to keep every single one of you. He might get mad at me if I banish that one. I reach the... there are people here that look familiar for some reason. There's a person in green armor and some sort of winged and horned naked leopardfolk.

>>175161
Well may as well go ask Nir what's up.

how so? try thinking about how you remember them.

>>175165
Hmm... Let's see... Uh... I think I... Um... Uggh... I can't remember where I've seen them before. Sorry.
>>175163
I walk up to Nir while passing Carg, who's examining a katana. The girl in the green armor looks at me. Stares at me. Angrily stares at me.
Rojo:"Um, Nir, who's this?"
Nir:"Her name is Torus. She's helping me with black magic."

where did car get a sword? and ask her why she seems so angry at you.

>>175170
I have no idea where Carg got the sword. I'll ask him later.
Torus:"Jathura, does she smell like the one before?"
Winged Jaguar:"Yes she does, master."
Torus:"Listen, foxfolk. You attacked me a year ago and called me prey. Why was that?"
A year ago? I... oh gods, I remember now. It was back when I was still a psychopath. I attacked a group of adventurers and then fled.

prostrate yourself before her and ask for forgiveness. very hard to stay wanting to kill someone if they are yielding to you.

>>175290
Tell her you were insane at the time, and you're very sorry for your actions.

>>175292
>>175295
I get down on my knees and bow down to her.
Rojo:"I remember now. I'm very sorry. I was insane at the time. A psychopath. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"

i really hope this works...

>>175302
I hold my breath.
Torus:"I'll forgive you..."
Oh, gods, it worked!
Rojo:"Thank yo-"
Torus:"Under one condition. You are to grant me a single favor redeemable by me at any time. You will swear your life you'll best fulfill it when I ask."
Oh gods...

i don't think she would ask you to do something you wouldn't be capable of doing. i say accept.

No. You don't know if she ISN'T a psychopath. Tell her that just because you know YOU WERE bad shouldn't entitle someone you don't know the values of to that kind of power over you. If she deserves it, you'll help her anyway.

>>175309
>>175310
Rojo:"I'm sorry. You can be an even bigger psychopath than I was, but if you deserve it, I'll help you."
She starts laughing.

Not sure what that means. Might as well wait or her to stop, or send us over to say hi.

>>175317
Okay, I think I'll send you over.

...

I hope they can find out why she's laughing.

>>175326
She kneels in front of me.
Torus:"I think I'll cash in on that favor right now. I want you to give Jathura, that's my construct, a penis."
Carg:"Are you fuckin mad? I mean... What? That seems a bit creepy."
I think this girl is more psychopathic than I was. I wonder if I should have Neophyte give a magic paper to her so she can talk to her as well. But she might get angry and try to kill me. What would the guidance spirits tell me to do?

>>175339
You keep worrying about people trying to kill you.

Can you do what she asks? Or at least refer her to somebody who can?

Also, that's not a psychopathic request. A psychopathic request would be that you stand there while she tortures somebody to near-death, then has you heal them back to normal so she can do it over and over and over again. Asking for her buddy to be fully functional? That's simple perversion at worst.

>>175367
Well, as far as I know, you have to be demented in order to want to have sex with a construct.
Torus:"Let me be more accurate, then: Jathura, my lover."
It creeps me out as well. Why would anyone want to have a construct as a lover? I'm sorry, but even if I could give... Jathura the proper tools, I would still refuse.
Rojo:"I'm sorry. I can't."

>>175378
... said the person dating a deity, in which context you're basically a construct yourself.

I'm a bit disappointed with you. If they're in love, then does it really matter?
Also, if you can't do it on your own, then do you know anybody who could help? You don't want to be in debt, and especially not to a crazy person.

Wait, I'll ask Xom. He'll know.

@Xom: Hey, can you give this... Er... Cat... thing... a full set of bait and tackle? If you want to cause chaos then you could make it a bit more functional than they expect, which would lead to interesting times months down the road~

>>175383
The thing is, they shouldn't be in love. When I was young, before the black mage stuff, my parents taught me it's looked down upon to love a construct.
{[Oh, that would be so much fun. They'd wake up one day to find that Jathura has it, then a couple months go by and BAM! Hahaha! It's too much to resist!]}

>>175388
@Xom: Why have them wake up one day? Can't you just do it now? After all, I doubt he's wearing anything to cover himself, so SUDDENLY: BAIT AND TACKLE would be hilarious in and of itself.

>>175394
@Xom: Are they in a position where they could wake-up naked in front of a large group of people? Most people don't sleep in public, let alone both in public and naked.

>>175391
{[No, that would be boring. What if, one day, they wake up in front of a large group of people and can't find their clothes nearby?]}

>>175395
{[You'd be surprised. There are a lot of people at her... gigantic underground school.]}

>>175402
Wait, she runs a school?
Think we could get her to teach Nir and Rojo?

>>175416
Wait, who runs a school?
{[Maybe. You might even get more than just Rojo and Nir in.]}

>>175420
@Xom: What, you mean the whole tribe or something? o.0

>>175559
@Xom: OH! We need to find a way to let Torus know that Rojo's debt will be paid! Think you could find a way to tell them that won't give you away? Like, appearing as an old alchemist or mage and giving them a placebo?

>>175459
{[Well, what do you think I mean?]}
>>175572
{[I don't usually like to disguise myself, but I can. How will you repay me for doing this?]}
Seriously, who runs a school? Torus gets up and begins to leave.
Torus:"It was nice talking to you, but I must leave now."

xom: your gf being out of debt to this weirdo isn't enough? that should be enough imho

Iunno, what exactly do you want?

We tried to get Nir to make out with his sister, but it didn't work.

>>175615
>>175616
{[Oh, not much. Just some fanart. Or a fanpoem. You should also pay attention to the people you're supposed to be guiding.]}

apparently torus runs the school.

>>175620
Where does she have it?

>>175619

Xom Xom oh doughty from
From where you fight the force of calm
From where the fear of eden flows
A hint of tears? Who knows, who knows.

Xom Xom your name, bedlam,
Such tangled sounds your holy psalm
The desperation goes unspoken
What left but chaos to be broken

Xom Xom perfect aplomb
Of many facets, faces some
What mystery of fate you chose?
What life for you, who knows who knows.

>>175749
Um, what? Is... is that a poem for Xom? Am I supposed to say it when I'm on the second date?
{[That is a wonderful poem. I'll help you for sure now.]}
Torus walks into the forest.

>>175781
No, that was to convince Xom to step in.

>>175805
Oh. Well, since Torus and her construct have left, what do you think I should do now?

>>175781

Hands off trollop, he's mine!

I mean, yeah sure whatever.

@Xom: Oh I'll get poetic for you any day. You can help us if you want though.

>>175869
Okay, well, I didn't ask if I can have Xom. I asked what I'm going to do now.

>>175981

I plead the fifth! My client is insane! These are not the droids you are looking for!

>>176045
If this is some kind of joke, I don't get it. I see Torus come back out of the forest.
Torus:"Do any of you want to go to school for an education?"

Oh! Say yes! Get Nir to go too!

>>176418
Rojo:"Okay. Nir, you want to come with?"
Nir:"Sure."
Torus:"Then you need to solve all the riddles on this scroll."
She tosses us a scroll. I open it. It's written in a language I can't read.

@Xom Think you could translate?

>>176422
{[Yes, I can translate, but not give you the answers. I wouldn't want my girlfriend to die because she got an answer wrong.]}

>>176425
@Xom: Die? What? Anyway, I didn't ask for the answers.

You might want to smile sheepishly, tell her "maybe later" and then ask if you can keep the scroll (to decipher it).

Ask what would happen if you got one wrong.

>>176426
{[I know that, but I knew you would ask for the answers to the questions.]}
>>176429
>>176436
I smile sheepishly.
Rojo:"Can I keep the scroll to decipher it later? What happens if I get one wrong?"

>>176624
Torus:"You will be killed on the spot if you get even one question wrong. Better get to studying. Your life depends on it. Is that all?"
Suddenly, I'm not so sure I want to join her school.

You don't. That's the stupidest thing that's happened around here in years.

Who knows, maybe the true test is proving that you won't lie down to bullshit. Outright refuse.

Thank her for the honor of being considered for such a dangerous task. That's all. When you have a moment alone, burn the scroll. Don't answer any of the questions.

Problem solved!

>>176960
>>177145
Rojo:"I'm sorry. I refuse to go to this school of yours. I can't trust you, but thanks for picking me for a dangerous task. It's an honor."
Torus:"Very well. If you choose not to solve the riddles, then do not. There is little chance I'll consider letting you into my school now. Farewell."
She turns and leaves into the forest again.

>>177181
Well, we can at least LOOK at them. I'm curious now!

Rojo 2010/05/14(Fri)05:39 No. 177185 ID: 34470e
File 127384076378.png - (57.86KB , 936x553 , THAT4.png )

>>177183
Might as well. I have no idea what it says, nor what language it's in.

...Nope! Just leave her to her fancy school, you don't need to justify yourself to her. You can learn about magic yourself, or maybe apprentice to someone less psychotically crazy.

>>177532
Yes, I don't need any psychotic people teaching me. I don't want any psychotic people teaching me anyway. It would remind me too much of my evil side. Right now, I have a couple of things I can do. I can see what Carg is doing with that sword, talk to Nir, or talk to Neophyte through the paper. Or am I forgetting something?

Haven't talked to Nir in a while... that we can remember, at least. Then again Carg has a sword, so talk to him first.

>>177544
Okay. I walk up to Carg.
Rojo:"Carg, where's you get that sword?"
Carg:"I stole the fucking thing off on that Torus fucker. The thing fuckin talks!"
He seems excited.

OH GOD!! when torus finds out her sword is missing she is going to KILL YOU! you are on your second chance already, you don't get thirds!grab it and chase after her it is your only shot at her not coming back and blowing your head off.

>>177556
Rojo:"Oh gods, I need the sword! I need to-"
???:"No, you don't."
I turn to look who it is. It... it looks like a doppelganger of me. With a sword that looks like the one Carg's holding.
Doppelganger:"Rojo, allow me to repay your debt for you. I know where the rocks they're looking for are."
Who is this? I don't know what's going on.

nether do i, what the hell is going on? trade swords so the doppelganger has the real one cause when torus finds out you gave her a fake one she will be even MORE pissed off and instead of just blowing you up she will probably kill you slowly.

>>177567
Rojo:"Maybe we should trade swords. Torus won't like to find out it's a fake."
Doppelganger:"How do you know it's a fake? This sword has all the abilities of that sword. After all, I have to look out for my girlfriend~."
Is this who I think it is?

Xom! say 'oh? well then, 'mysterious stranger' i suppose you should hurry along then.' make sure you smirk.

>>177587
"Carg, you can have the duplicate sword. If they're both the same then I'd feel better about this if Torus got the real one back."

Rojo:"Carg, you can have the duplicate sword. If they're both the same then I'd feel better about this if Torus got the real one back."
Carg:"Why the fuck should I? Xom fuckin said they're the exact same fuckin thing, so why the fuck would it matter?"
Rojo:"It would make me feel better knowing we have the duplicate."
Carg:"Fuckin fine..."
He trades the sword with the other one.
Rojo:"Well then, 'mysterious stranger', I suppose you should hurry along then."
Xom smiles.
Xom:"Will do, Rojo."
Xom enters the forest.

What a classy bastard. Alright, go talk with Nir now.

>>177664
I head on into Nir's hut.
Nir:"Hi, Aunt Rojo. When you were gone, I was beginning to miss you."

awww, give him a hug and tell him you were missing him too.

also, i think i may have figured out how to explain how lich nir's time travel worked without making your brain hurt.... too much. can explain now or later. may be nice to explain what's up to Nir even if he doesn't understand.

>>177675
Rojo:"I missed you, too.
We share a nice, comforting hug. And you can try to explain the time travel stuff to me. This hug is real nice.

okay. imagine a rope, this rope represents the universe. if you look closely at a rope you will see it is made up of many strands, each strand is a thing in the universe from fish to birds to people to plants. now imagine a second rope much like the first. this is lich nir's universe, when he used time travel his strand on the rope pulled off, lept over, and merged with ours. this caused a radical change as all the strands had to move around to make room for the new one. so mary's strand moved from 'nice person' to 'batshit insane'.

>>177686
Is... is that what happened to me? Did my 'rope' turn to batshit insane?

>>177698
No, you're a frayed knot. :V

yeah, pretty much. but he would of had no way of knowing that that would happen. not without some pan dimensional space-time scrying magic.

>>177701
>>177704
So... what happened to the strand that my boyfriend had from Lichblilm's timeline? Did it just end?

>>177711
It probably kept to the original rope.
You could always ask Xom.

>>177712
i think he turned into Xom.

>>177712
>>177714
If Xom is... whoever Lichblilm said, then it must've been fate.
{[I'm not Xan. I'm 300 years older than Rojo. And Mary Shaw is not just a psychotic lunatic. Neither is Ryth. I have no idea what led you to that thought.]}

>>177724
@Xom: Err... who are Mary Shaw and Ryth?

>>177730
Are you serious? You don't know who they are? Remember it's the the scream dream lady and Rojo's mentor.

Also, Rojo, ask what Nir was talking to Torus about.

>>177730
>>177774
{[Yes, those people. I shouldn't blame you, though. You're incomplete guidance spirits.]}
Rojo:"Nir, what did Torus talk to you about."
Nir:"She was teaching me some magic. I've gotten a little better I think."

...Ask him if she gave him a scroll.

>>177830
Rojo:"Did she give you a scroll?"
Nir:"No. She only taught me how to summon more than 1 mana ball in a hand."
He stops hugging me.
Nir:"I'll show you. She's been really helpful."
He extends a hand palm face-up and summons 3 mana balls. Nir smiles.
Nir:"Cool, huh?

That is pretty cool. But he shouldn't trust her too much.

>>177873
Rojo:"Yes, that is very cool. But... You shouldn't trust her too much."
The mana balls disappear and Nir stops smiling.
Nir:"Why not? She was nice to me."

Tell him she WASN'T nice to YOU.

>>177880
Rojo:"She wasn't nice to me."
Nir:"What did she do to you?"

Tell him about the KILL YOU INSTANTLY scroll, and that she only told you what would happen after you specifically asked.

>>178007
Rojo:"She said he scroll she gave me would instantly kill me if I got any questions wrong. She only told me that after I specifically asked."
Nir:"Well, she's gone now. If she ever comes back, I'll just tell her to leave."

he doesn't have to go that far. but lvls of trust based on how well you know someone. such as you trust Nir completely, we do too, you are his aunt rojo and he will never betray you.

>>178238
I trust Nir completely. I know that. But I shouldn't. Based on my personality, I shouldn't trust him at all, but somehow, I do. Why is that?

>>178239
we been over this, it's why you decided to be called his aunt, you love the little guy, and love makes you do weird things that you wouldn't normally do.

>>178240
Oh. Yes, I love him. Why do I love him? I haven't done anything to deserve it. I torture him while deluding myself into thinking I'm helping him, attack someone more powerful than me, almost get killed, and walk away angrily. That doesn't deserve any love.

because he helped you.

while on the outside you were a mean crazy person, inside you were still a little girl wanting a friend. and Nir was that friend.

>>178242
>>178243
Yeah, I suppose so. I'm being too hard on myself, am I? I really need to stop that, but it's so hard not to.
Nir:"Are you okay, Aunt Rojo?"

It takes a while to change, despite revelations. Tell him you think you'll be alright.

OH wow I just realized Xom can become a perfect body double of you and you're his girlfriend.

MY OWN CLONE

>>178588
You're starting to creep me out.
>>178585
I'm trying my best to become better quickly.
Rojo:"I think I'll be alright."
Nir:"I hope so."
He looks at my hand for some reason.
Nir:"What's that scroll thing?"

The "kill you if you answer wrong" scroll. Can't even read it.

>>178723
I didn't even know I still had it in my hand. Wait, this isn't the death scroll. It's the blank scroll Neophyte gave me. I must be really out of it for some reason.

oh, well then tell him you met someone at lich nir's place who is a psychologist. if he doesn't know what that means tell him it's like a feelings doctor, they make you happier.

>>178738
Rojo:"I met someone at the Lich place that's a psychologist. A... a feelings doctor. They're going to help me feel better."
Nir:"Like how bad you felt after your date with Xom? I was really worried about you. I tried sending the guidance spirits to you, but they said they couldn't enter you. Some sort of wall or something."

>>178747
ah, that was you wanted to be left alone so much that you subconsciously blocked us.

>>178749
Uh, sorry about that. I probably should apologize again for the thoughts I has when I was alone. I wanted to kill. I wanted to kill Carg and Arkan and Dedea and Nir and the rest of the tribe. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

i think the first thing is stop beating yourself up over it, having bad thoughts and acting on them are completely different. a long as you don't actually do anything horrible we'll always forgive you.

>>179327
Thanks... Your apology means a lot to me, friends. If it wasn't for you, Nir, or even Magun, I would still be a monster. That being said, do you think I should start my therapy soon?

if you have nothing else to do then sure. she may ask some personal questions and if you don't want to answer then just tell her you don't feel comfortable with the question right now. a good psychologist will understand and just skip it for now.

>>179335
Rojo:"Nir, can you get me something to write with?"
Nir:"Sure."
He gets up and gets a quill from under a pillow and hands it to me. I write something on the paper.
Rojo:<hello? anyone there?>
What I wrote disappears. I wait a little while, and writing appears.
Paper:<Hi, Rojo. I see you've decided to contact me. I didn't expect this so early, though.>

tell her you didn't have anything else to do.

>>179352
Rojo<i didnt have anything else to do>
Neophyte:<Well, okay. Let's start. Tell me, what made you into the fool seeking redemption?>
Nir:"This is kinda cool. I like how the writing can appear and disappear."

well it has to otherwise it would fill up and getting more of them would be hard.

tell her about when you met Nir, and how it changed your outlook.

>>179362
Rojo:"It has to, Nir. Otherwise I'd have to get more of them as they fill up."
Nir:"Oh. Well, I can learn how to make some for you. Maybe. If I try."
Rojo:<well, you see, before i met this timeline's nir, i was a psychopath. i hunted poor kobolds for pleasure. when i met nir, i was going to kill him. i didnt because i was interested in him. he said he was going to become a black mage to help protect his tribe. when we made it to magun's tower, i tried to do a stupid joke and pointed an arrow at him. he froze me, i got angry, and tried to kill him for real. then he was teasing me and i got even angrier. i walked away from the tower and nir chased after me. he asked me to try and be a better person, so i began to rethink my life.>
Nir:"It's okay, Rojo. I already forgave you."
Neophyte:<What caused you to hunt kobolds for pleasure in the first place?>

that's a good question.
some of these may be painful to answer but it's to find the root problem. think of a weed, unless you get the root out it will just keep springing back up.
so was anything going on that made you decide kobolds were a good target?

>>179381
I... I think I need to send Nir away. He might not like what I have to say at all.
Rojo:"Nir, can you please leave? I need some alone time with this piece of paper."
Nir:"Okay. Please get better soon."
He leaves the hut. This is going to be painful. Please help me get through this.
Rojo:<well, you see i>
This is very hard.
Rojo:<i thought they were an easy target. i still do.>
No! I did not meant to write that! Gods damnit! no, no, no! Now she's going to tell Lichblilm and then he'll kill me! I'm so stupid!

no, psychologists have to take an oath to tell no one of what their patients tell them because they need to be trustworthy in order to do their job right.

if you are put in danger because of this we promise to do our best to stop them.

Ease up on the death, if they're really against you you're not defenseless.

>>179393
>>179406
Ah... ah... okay... I'll try and calm down for a second.
Neophyte:<What do you mean by them being an easy target?>

What makes kobolds easy targets? Why did you think they were weaker than others?

>>179681
Rojo:<i thought they were stupid and incapable of higher thought. i had the impression theyd just sit there and gape and not do anything if i killed one>
This... this hurts so much to write.
Neophyte:<What made you like this in the first place?>

it's like getting out a barb arrow head. to get the head out you need to make the hole bigger. your issues are the arrowheads and doing this is like cutting an opening to get them out. so tell her.

>>179735
Ah... Alright...
Rojo:<I was teased and bullied as a child for wanting to be a black mage. even my parents hated me>
Neophyte:<Your parents? Are you sure they weren't trying to protect you somehow? Like they cared abut you and didn't want you to kill yourself or something?>
She... She has no idea...

that's why she said 'are you sure'. tell her exactly how they teased you so she knows what happened.

>>179740
Rojo:<the entire town beat me up. they threw stones at me. they punched me and stole my food. even my parents joined in. they practically disowned me and>
I see a couple tears drop onto the page.
Rojo:<one day i eventually snapped and burned the entire town to the ground. i was genuinely happy when i did that.>
Oh gods... This hurts so much I'm crying...
Nir:"Are you okay in there, Aunt Rojo?"

if you want to stop then tell her 'can we stop here for now?'

tell Nir that you are fine, just dealing with your past.

>>179772
He can probably hear you crying. Tell him you'll be out soon.

>>179772
Rojo:<can we stop right now?>
Neophyte:<Sure. I can see your tears. Or whoever's tears. Or spit. I hope to hear from you soon.>
Rojo:"It's okay, N- Nir. I was j- just dealing with m- my past..."
>>179784
Rojo:"I'll b- be out soon."
Carg:"Well, hurry the fuck up. It sounds like you need a fuckin hug."
Dedea:"Do you require assistance?"
All of them were listening? I'm so pathetic...

It's times like this where you should probably just give up and get hugged.

yes, accept your huggy fate!

>>179788
>>179790
H- he's right... and he gives the best hugs... I stumble on over to him and hug him. He hugs back.
Carg:"Can you please quit your fuckin crying soon? I don't fuckin like seeing you like this."
I feel Nir hugging my leg as well.
Nir:"It's okay, Aunt Rojo. It'll be alright."
Gods damn... never in my life did I think I would have good friends who actually cared for me... It feels so good to have someone you can rely on...

tell them that then. it's good to have friends.

>>179800
Rojo:"It's g- good to have s- someone you can r- rely on as a f- friend."
Carg:"I fuckin know. Just don't fuckin tell other people that we're fuckin friends."
Nir:"Carg, can you tell me what 'fuckin' means? you say it a lot."

...Yyyeahh, best stay out of this one. Send us to Nir please.

>>179859
Okay. Hopefully you can avert his mind.

...

...

Maybe fucking was the place he was born.

Hi Nir. No, it's just something he likes to say between words. It doesn't mean the nicest of things, but it could be worse. You shouldn't say it anyway regardless.

...You do bring up something interesting though, where was Carg born? We don't know that much about his past, do we?

>>179885
Hi guidance spirits. It's nice talking to you again. I don't understand why I shouldn't say it. If Carg can say it, then why can't I? And I'll ask Carg later.

>>179890

You can say it, no problem. But do you want to say it? Carg says fucking all the time, so it gets kind of old, doesn't really mean anything. Any word can lose meaning if you use it too much.

>>179934
Okay. I won't say it that much. Aunt Rojo's still crying. I hope she stops soon.

she'll be fine. getting psychological issues worked out is hard. we explained to her already what it's like. it's like getting out a barbed arrowhead, you need to make the hole bigger to get it out, then you can let it heal.

>>180177
That sounds painful. I hope she'll be better soon. We hug Rojo until she calms down. It's dinner time, so we all get something to eat. I guess I should ask Carg about his past now. What question should I start with?

>>180180

He sure is good at stealing stuff! Ask how he got to be such a good thief.

>>180180
Nir:"Carg, how'd you get to be such a good thief?"
Carg:"Uh... Practice? I don't fuckin know. I actually don't fuckin think I'm supposed to be this fuckin good. Look at how fuckin big my fuckin hands are. I'm both fuckin amazing at stealing and hugs."
Carg smiles.

>>180209
Carg:"You know what else these fuckin hands are good for? Flying. Too bad you'll never fuckin know what that's fuckin like. Anything else you want to fuckin ask me?"

>>180414

Ask if you can have a hug.

You know, that is, if you want one.

>>180473
Nir:"Can I have a hug?"
Carg:"Maybe fuckin later. For a fuckin price."

How about the price of getting hugged back~?

Oh well anyway, maybe he has some kind of magic of his own? You're a mage nir, pick anything up from him?

>>180670
Nir:"How about the price of getting hugged back?"
Carg laughs a bit. I think I saw Rojo smile.
Carg:"I'll fuckin think about the fuckin price later."
And I can sense magic? I didn't know I could do that. Rojo's got some magic in her. So does Dedea. Carg's got something in him. It feels different then Aunt Rojo's and Dedea's.

Eeeenteresting.

Why don't you send us to him, maybe we can get a little more outta him

that's probably in-born magic while you and rojo had to learn it, that explains why he is so good at stealing he is accidentally using magic to help him.

>>180763
Somehow, that doesn't seem fair.It's like he's cheating.
>>180762
Okay. Maybe you'll find out how he's so good.

...

...

Maybe I'll have the fucker shine up my fuckin legs to a fuckin awesome sheen.

Better keep Rojo around in case he cuts himself. Hi Carg, we're wondering about magic.

Time magic specifically.

Make any progress there?

Or perhaps, regress? :3

Gotta love time magic.

Someone's fucking with time, so do you want to be the one fucking, or the one fucked?

>>180767
Don't panic. This really is the quest author. I'm just on a small vacation.
Oh, Hi there. I fuckin guess it'll be fuckin safer with Rojo with Nir. Why the fuck do you want to fuckin know magic? I've got almost no fuckin knowledge on it.
>>180851
I haven't fuckin looked at any fuckin mana ritual yet. And why the fuck do you think some fucker is fuckin with time?

he is the troll voice he messes with people just for the sake of messing with them. anyway, asking you about magic because Nir can detect magic inside of you, which makes me think you are using magic to steal without knowing about it.

>>180899
Fuckin impossible. I just fuckin told you I never fuckin read any mana ritual, you stupid fucks! The only fuckin way I'd be able to fuckin use magic without having fuckin read a fuckin mana ritual is if I was a fuckin demon, and I fuckin distinctly recall both my fuckin parents being Nedynvor. I fuckin heard that rumor somewhere. I fuckin forget from who, though. It was from the fuckin bar the day before I fuckin met Rojo and Nir.

you don't actually need to be able to read in order to 'read' a ritual. could of read one when you were a baby and over the years it became an extension of your will.
other option is you have a demon ancestor down the line. such as your great great great grandpa was a demon and the signs have simply diluted over the generations.

>>180906

Or maybe you're just a damn good thief and we're all so jealous of your skill that we're trying to call it magic.

I think someone's fucking with time, because we spirits keep getting pushed around in time for some reason, forwards and backwards and sideways. And there are some other spirits apparantly, or maybe just us in our future, that take our places during blank spots. Plus didn't you notice the lich looked a lot like Nirblim, and was named Nirblim? The lich is Nirblim from another timeline, who somehow ended up in his own past, and changed history in order to stop his village from being killed in the first place. But I think Nirblim got someone's help to go through time, because he doesn't seem to understand much about changing history, and hasn't traveled through time since.

Nir sensed a bit of magic on you. We're just trying to figure out what it is.

>>180952
You should be fuckin jealous of me! You guidance spirits told me I'm a fuckin god! I'm the best fuckin thief in the fuckin world! I don't really give a fuck about all that time travel fuckery.
>>180911
If I read a fuckin mana ritual as a fuckin baby, my parents would've fuckin told me. I don't even fuckin know what a fuckin demon looks like.
>>180953
I'm just trying to fuckin eat.

okay, send us back to nir, we'll find out what it is before we bug you about it.

>>180976
Yeah, I'll just take my fuckin "magic" and keep being a fuckin god while you do that.

How weird... Where's my sister?

dunno, ask around, maybe someone saw her go for berries or something.

>>180983
Nir:"Has anyone seen my sister?"
Cassna:"Saw her enter forest. Asked where and she said wanted to be mage like you."
She went with Torus? I hope she'll be okay. I wish she'd have told me first.

well torus was a little mad at rojo, but she seemed to like you, so she should like your sister.

>>180997
What if Armi and Torus become friends? My sister might be able to make Torus become friends with Rojo. That would be good. Oh! Well, how did Carg go?

he doesn't know how he has magic and doesn't want us to bring it up unless we have solid proof of something. so practice your magic sense so that you may be able to figure out what the magic could be.

Try Rojo, you know how her magic works so she should be easier.

>>181011
>>181012
I can clearly sense that Rojo has magic, but Carg has something else. I don't know what it is.

so it's like magic but different? odd. well, maybe after it's train some you will be able to get more then that from it.

look in the direction of Magun's tower and cast your magic sense outward see if you can sense him from here. magun makes a good target because while he is far away he has a lot of power so it should be easy to sense it.

>>181241
I can barely sense it, but it feels the same as Rojo. Do you thik Carg is using some sort of weird magic?

maybe, but if he is he doesn't know he is. and he told us not to bug him without knowing what it was. maybe it's something all Nedynvor have? if it is then it's just something they have. maybe if we met his parents or something it would help.

>>181252
Sorry, but I don't know where his parents are. I on't even know where to start looking.

i know. *sigh*

so what do you want to do?

>>181410
I'm curious now. I want to find Carg's parents. I think I should bring Carg and Rojo along. Should I bring anyone else with?
