Chapter 1: http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/res/253182.html Sable, they're getting rowdy. We have no choice. I'm sending you on one last mission.
>>264573 Open the door as if you don't know something is wrong.
Peek in without being seen
Artemis changes to girl form and opens the door. There's a Odd Man sitting on top of Mimi's chest. "Oh. Hello there."
>>264586 "Err... Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
"hello, can you tell me why you are in my room?" be ready fo him to suddenly attack.
>>264586 Snuck right into your room, in the castle, and is just sitting there waiting for you to walk in. Skills of a thief but not stealing, it must be a friend of Apple. "Hi there... you're here about a mutual friend, I presume?"
"Err... Who are you and what are you doing in my room..?" The man stands up. "Doing a inspection of your room. A little bare but nothing seems to break any rules. Keep up the good work." The man leaves.
... close the door and lock it, then ask mimi if she is okay.
>>264596 Ask for his name. Ask for his captian. Ask for identification. NOW.
>>264596 Search the room for anything odd before giving Mimi the all-clear. He may have put a spying device in the room. Or stolen something. Then check outside to make sure he left. THEN give Mimi the all-clear, ask if she's ok, find out what she knows about that guy, and then give her 60GP.
>>264598 Artemis opens Mimi's chest to find her cowering in there. "Master you're back! That creepy guy has been in here for an hour! He kept trying to open me! ;-;"
Don't let him just leave.
give her a hug to calm her down.
You just caused the death of an unscrupulous man with a lot of friends. Just after this, a man came into your room, unannounced. You asked for no ID, no name, nothing. You just let him leave. WHY.
>>264605 Tell her he's fair game for her and that she needs to stay hidden while you go after him. Then chase that burglar down!
>"A suspicious man broke into my room. When I caught him he claimed that he was doing an inspection and fled before I could get any ID. It looks like he attempted to force the magic lock on my chest." FIND YOUR CAPTIAN. TELL HIM THIS. BEFORE YOUR ROOM EXPLODES.
>>264605 "Shh it's ok now, you did good."
hug poor Mimi! she looks so sad/scared
"Shh it's ok now, you did good. I'll be right back." Artemis runs out of his room. Down the hall he spots two people talking. It's the Odd Man and the King, they appear deep in conversation with the king giving the occasional nod or chuckle.
>>264618 Slow down, don't interrupt, wait for a place to step in. Ask the king why the man presented no identification when he inspected your room. Why, you nearly apprehended the poor man for intruding! He could have gotten hurt forcing my magical lock!
>>264618 Politely wait for them to finish, then tell the old man he didn't tell you his name or rank when you asked after he finished inspecting your room. Playing dumb: It works.
run up to him and say "ah, glad i cought you, just wanted to know where i can find a list of contraband so i don't get any by accident."
Y'know you could just straight up ask why he was trying to get into your box.
>>264623 I could but he would ask how he knew I knew that. They finish talking. Artemis walks up to them. "Hello your majesty." He turns to the Odd Man "Excuse but I'm afraid I didn't catch your name or rank. You left right after you inspected the room." King "Running your rounds again Regulus?" >"Just checking up on some of the people. My name is Regulus Kite. My rank is Captain General. Sorry I didn't introduce myself, I was in a bit of a rush." "Not enough of a rush to spare a few minutes for me." >"For you my lord I would do anything." "Hahaha flattery gets you nowhere." >"Not always true. Anyway if you both don't mind I really should be going." "Wait! One more question, can I get a list of what's banned?" "Hmm... I'll try to get one to you. For now just use commen sense. Good bye." He leaves again, the king following behind him.
okay, so he IS an inspector, but he could ALSO be a bad guy.
>>264629 ...Seems legit. Someone that close to the king is more trustworthy than a lowly captian... and furthermore, he probably answers to a higher authority than you do, since he's in charge of ferreting out badfolks. You may want to ask mimi if she can be opened and appear to be a normal harmless chest, since she's the only thing in the room to worry about. Lastly, give your room a very thourough search, and anything out of the ordinary need to be removed.Ask mimi if the guy left anything behind.
>>264629 Ok, so we can't have Mimi eating his soul. Head back and give Mimi 60GP, a hug, an explanation of what happened, and praise for doing exactly the right thing. Then, I dunno, go visit Morgan?
Well that went as well as it could have, let's go back to our room for now. We could run around some more but Mimi is still upset.We should let he know everything is ok. And maybe we can draw with her or something.
>>264633 There are no little cubby holes in my room, no cracks to speak of. It seems like nothing was added at all. He gives the room one final look through then opens Mimi's chest. He pours 60 GP into her. She glows for a moment, her horns grow a tiny bit and it actually looks like she got a bit taller too. "Level Up! I can store more things now! I can even go a little further out my chest!" >>264634 Visiting Morgan 'would' be nice but I'm actually rather tired right now. Unless I 'really' need to do something I think it's time for bed.
lock your door and get some sleep then, night.
>>264638 Wrap your arms around her and plant a kiss on her forehead. Is her bag any wider? OH! That reminds me! What does the inside of her bag look like?
>>264638 Yeah we don't need to hang out with her every day let's give her a break. Spend some time just hanging out with Mimi, draw some stuff together. Ask her how safely she could be opened up and still look like a normal chest. Because Regulus just might make you do it later. Also, ask her to show you how far she can stretch from her box now.
hug that mimic!
>>264641 Uhm... It looks and feels like a normal bag.. Why? Artemis hugs Mimi and congratulates her. "So Mimi can you finally get out of that chest?" "Nope! But I can move further out without hurting myself now!" To demonstrate she pulls herself out of it more then halfway. "See Master? I'm getting better and better! Soon I'll be able to get out and be with you!" "Very good Mimi. I'll do my best to help you get stronger." "You could help me by giving me your soul~"
"but if i did that i wouldn't be able to hug you anymore."
>>264647 Sorry Mimi, my soul is mine.
er... umm... well THATS a bit creepy. Ask her why she thinks thats a good idea.
"But then I wouldn't care about you."
>>264647 We'll stick with GP thanks.
>>264647 no to the soul but ask her if she wants any books or something to entertain herself with while we are gone
>>264647 "Even if I did, you're still not allowed to eat it. Remember? People can't exist without their souls, Mimi. If you eat somebody's soul then they're gone forever." Then grab your blanket and pillow and sleep inside her chest.
"Even if I did, you're still not allowed to eat it. Remember? People can't exist without their souls, Mimi. If you eat somebody's soul then they're gone forever." "I know...." "But I'll get you some more books tomorrow okay?" "Yay! Thank you master!" She gives him a hug then returns to her chest. Artemis changes then lays down Another busy day and another lesson learned.. The Light Elf seemed to care about a Dark Elf. I've never seen Light Elves care about anything like that before.. I suppose love knows no boundaries. Also something captain said... If that Sharaes dragon is the ruler of the merfolk then who is ours? And who did the shadow dragon my father had slain rule over..?
>>264663 What element do you see around human lands most? That would probably be it. But who knows it may not have any kind of active role, or even be dead. Well it isn't worth worrying about now.
