Artemis leaves Morgan's shop, she waves goodbye to him and watches as he leaves.

My first kiss... A cheek kiss sure but it still counts.

Ok, go get some books for Mimi. A nice stack of them. Make them all happy books, and if you can then find some about somebody from a different race finding acceptance and/or love among people. :3
Then head to the Academy and see if they have any books or classes on detecting mind-affecting substances. Aphrodisiacs, love portions, anything along those lines.
I was kinda hoping you would ask Morgan for lessons in identifying potions, but we'll have to do that later. Perhaps you could use it as a way to get her on a date without her getting all flustered?

Not for much, it doesn't. And you had to die for it. You must plot an aggressive campaign of wooing this woman to get more than that without such extreme suffering to do so.

Well it isn't quite first base but it is something. Just remember she isn't the only girl who does or will care about you. Don't get hung up on Morgan so much that you push anyone else away, you're still young you know?

Take a look around, that blast didn't damage the area or draw any attention did it?

I kinda like Morgan though.. She doesn't talk much but she seems very kind. And maybe a little lonely..
Anyway the blast didn't do any damage really and the knights who were sent here have since left.
The only thing lost was my life(temporarily), and everything seems to be working okay.

>>274990
Books, check.
As for the academy I'll stop by but I really don't think... Ah whatever.

Artemis heads over to the Academy.
The school itself seems to be split into different chunks, several of them floating in midair.

We should read up on a few things here, since we otherwise ask people who don't know as much about things. Detection of mind altering substances sounds good, and books about the various races would be wise.

"Magic~"

"Thought so,Would you happen to know where I could find books on detecting and identifying what mind-affecting substances have been used on a person? I also need something on demon contracts."

"Uhm.. We have a few books on those. Anything specific?"

"Not really."

"One moment please."

She leads Artemis to a desk. Several minutes later she returns with a small mountain of books.

"If you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask."

she leaves.

Definitely look for primers/introductory level things. Most cases a decent grasp of the basics on something is WAY better than only having knowledge of only some specifics.

On a side note, it would be really amusing if they had an Idiot's Guide to Demonic Contracts

Really, you should thank her for bringing you those books.

"Excuse me miss."

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if you could help me once again. I appreciate the books you got for me but it's a lot and.. Well I kinda."

"you want me to get you a specific kind?"

"Y-yes! Please."

"Well what is it you want to know?"

"Well I'm looking for a book on demonic contracts and how they work and another book on different types of aphrodisiacs, specifically the ones that work well with alchohol and with multiple species."

Ask for her name, thank her by name, introduce yourself properly, and say that it appears this will not be productive for now.

It might be because she was part catfolk you know? We shouldn't hand out that info lightly even not mentioning who she is, so let's get a promise of silence.

"Actually there is one more important thing. But please you must promise me you won't mention this to anyone ever. It could ruin her life." If she agrees, quietly tell her she's part catfolk.

Tell her that she was acting like there were lingering side effects today.

Actually, the party was... two days ago? You went to bed, woke up, left on your mission, spent the night, returned the next day.

Ask her what would have lingering effects at this point, and only be active in the presence of the other gender.

Alright look at it this way, there is a lot of things were going to have to look up in the future and a lot of it will be based on other sensitive information. If we can get her as someone who can keep secrets and provide knowledge in exchange for satisfying her likely curiosity about unknown things it will be very advantageous down the road. She already knows we have an interest in demonic contracts so if she wanted to cause us problems it's a simple thing already.

Besides I think giving her this bit of information might be very important.

lolwat? There's nothing suspect about a Knight Mage wanting to research demonic contracts; that prerequires knowledge of demonic script, and understanding both would be valuable specialty skillsets.
Of all the scripts, can you think of any that say "You're fucked" more strongly than demonic?
Felinid, Light Elf, and Dark Elf scripts are all common enough that I'd expect most knights to recognize them and many knights to know them, merfolk are always somewhere between benign and benevolent, and angelic script probably doesn't suggest a problem unless you're doing something horrible or it's intended as a warning.

Demonic, though? Well, seeing script means whatever wrote it has both been in the area and expects somebody who can read it to pass through, and demons are probably the single most deadly threat to have a written language.
Beyond that, being able to read demon contracts opens up many more routes and possibilities for combating demons due to the fact that most demons enter this world via contract and return when their contract is over.

Ah, I'm ranting. TL;DR: 'I'm resume padding for better missions.' is easier.

Compromise: Tell her it's for a friend you're worried about who is half-catfolk. Make no mention who she is or what she does for a living.
Half-catfolk can't be so uncommon that it would be unreasonable for a few to live in the city, and she has no reason to go and look into the matter.
It's just a suggestion though.

"Well.... It's for a friend. He's part tigerfolk. I was wondering if there was something that would affect him."

The Librarian thinks about it for a moment. Artemis sees someone walk behind her.

"Oi, Sarah. Trying to make a aphrodisiac?"

>"Wh-wha!?"

"I could hear you guys a mile away. What's the kid wanna know 'bout?"

>"He wants to know if his friends been poisoned! Not how to make one!"

"Haha sure sure. Listen why dontcha leave this here to the pros hmm? I got this."

She leaves. The man smiles at Artemis.

"Name's Edward. I'm the residen' apocrathy. The potion brewer."

Gender dimorphism makes Viagra not affect women; he needs to know the right gender.

Well, it's been almost 48 hours and they seem to be suffering lingering effects in the presence of men but not women. It was delivered while they were drinking wine so that's the most obvious route, although something airborne could have done the job.

Oh, and there's something in the area that's screwing with our abnormal senses and slowly draining our power. Some kind of magic suppression field?

This, but first say "Ok but you have promise not to talk about any of this. It could cause problems and I'm already betraying trust by talking about it at all." The tell him you friend is actually female, about 1/4 catfolk, was drinking with someone she didn't she often around particularly like and she suddenly couldn't control herself and jumped his bones. She was visibly upset the next day and couldn't explain why it happened. She didn't smell anything unusual, nothing like those love potions they sell.

"Any clues as to what it might be? Manyathing can make a woman horny."

"Uhm... Well he did give her wine."

"Wha kind?"

"I'm... Not certain."

".... Ever consider it might've been the wine? Not bein drunk but it might've been just what the wine was made of. Most human junk doesn't sit well with other species ya know? Coulda made her as loopy as a Lenmin. Check the brand. I think it could be it. Even better, bring me the bottle and I'll tell ya what it was."

Now change your clothes, [gender change], go to her fiancee, and tell him that Saisai recommended that wine and you wanted to see if he had any left you could taste. Wear something that's muted, but enticing.

Before you leave ask that librarian if you could borrow a primer on demonic script and contracts. If she takes it oddly, just say you do field work and don't want to get caught flatfooted by demons. Optionally, add "again".

He heads out of the Academy.


So.... Does this mean her fiance really...? No, we're jumping to conclusions again. There's no solid proof. Maybe he didn't know or something.

He goes back into the castle and into the cafe.
Apple runs up to him.

"There you are! I've been waiting here for like 20 minutes!"


"S-sorry!"

She drags him off to a serperate room. Judging by all the junk in it it's most likely a storage room.

You're really reaching here, Art. Ran Tersof is renowned for their 'sexual assistants'. From what I can recall, it's popularly believed that they often have massive drug-induced orgies right in the streets, and from what we do know for certain it doesn't seem that much of a stretch.
Point being, the way things are there's no reason to go out of your way to get a tigerfolk wine unless it's really, really worth it, and Saisai didn't seem to too impressed with the taste.

... say, didn't we encounter General Regulus on the way back from Ran Tersof? What are the odds that he ran a favor for his friend the rapist?

I don't think it's bad at all. A Dragon is an extremely powerful creature, it should come as no surprise that a magical item would inhale some of its mana.

Well that isn't terribly strange, I mean you have given a good first impression with what we've pulled. But to be honest? I'm not sure you should accept straight away. You may have heroics and might at your fingertips but in terms of being a knight you're still green and we aren't much better. Besides getting promoted means getting separated from your current group... I don't think it's time to move on from them just yet. Unless your captain got fired or transferred for some reason.

...Oh and Mimi! You would be given new quarters, someone else would get her or be let all alone! They might expose her or abuse her! You can't be a captain yet until you find a way to take her along!

"What? Why?"

Ok, back on our side conversation:
General Regulus -> Ran Tersof. Friend of rapist?
Ran Tersof big on 'mood enhancers': Accident? Not a damn chance.

We need to warn Mimi; tell her that if you get promoted then you lose that room and they'll probably kill her. We need a way to move her out of that room!

Ok. New plan.
When we're done here we go present our findings to Saisai.
After we've resolved that that we return to the library and you start reading up on demonic script and contracts. We remember the contract perfectly, and we can help you piece together what it means.

Just what the hell is going on today?

This day has been overwhelming to say the least. Look I don't know how, but we're going to have to find a way to keep our group together and not loose Mimi. If that means turning down a new room fine, it will be suspicious but you can come up with a reason. Or maybe we can force the completion of that contract and change her over to the new room.

Saisai too will have a harder time without us, she is going to need us in at least the immediate future. Don't be content with choosing only Mimi or your group, we need to protect them all.

"I probably can but if I fail, do you think you might be the captain of our group? I think the three of us work well together, and you would be a better compliment for us than our old captain was. And if the situation were reversed you are of course welcome in ours."

Alright Artemis, time for some perspective. Pay attention!

Regardless of how this ends up, you need to do the right thing and protect your friends. You also need people you confide in and can trust.

Now right here is Apple. You haven't been through much together but you know her nature is good and you've made a massive difference in her life. She has strength, speed, reason and wit on her side and would make a most effective ally. You don't have any leverage over her except that she may feel she owes you.

We also have Morgan who we also trust and is calm and rational sweat on you but isn't any kind of a warrior and can't do much about anything aside from providing items.

You have Saisai who fights by your side and knows your secret and you can trust with that but is an emotional wreck right now, impulsive in the best of times and if our fears are true cannot be counted on to act calmly about them.

And about those fears, you need to realize that this wine is exactly what someone would get if they wanted to make a catfolk or tigerfolk fuck them. Putting them into a heat like effect is what it is designed to do. Saisai needs to know that it does this or it will happen again. But she will not respond by presuming it was an accident or by being ok with it. She will run off and she will murder him. Think about what happens to her life then. Or if we called him out on the rape, it would expose her heritage and ruin her life anyway.

But also realize her fiance should have never been able to get it. The tigerfolk are on the brink of war, anyone trading with them would suspected of treason. He is a wealthy man from a powerful family and we know with near certainty is a horrible person, he may well be a traitor in the truest sense.

If we uncover and nail him for that Saisai will never have to deal with him again and her life will not be ruined. And in doing so we may expose any traitorous network he is involved in. But we don't have the ability or know how to even begin to confirm that. But Apple does and can. That's why you need to ask for her complete trust and help as seriously and solemnly as you can and when she gives it to you tell her about this entire situation. Given how she has been wronged by a homicidal misanthrope she shouldn't have a problem with doing whatever she can to stop this creep.

Don't care about the room; we're just not leaving Mimi.

>>275599
Ok, I'm going to say this for, what, the third time now? Fourth?

We encountered General Regulus on his way back from Ran Tersof - the place where that wine is made - on an errand mere hours before the rape.
Saisai's fiancee is a Captain, I believe, and would doubtlessly be familiar with the General.
If the General was the one who retrieved it then that entire line of thought is a dud; barring unquestionable evidence of high treason he's beyond reproach.

Actually, lets step back a bit and look at the transaction in general. Assuming that we could nail whoever bought the wine from the tigerfolk for treason, the same couldn't be said for somebody who got the wine from said person. If he used an intermediary then his worst case scenario has him claiming ignorance of how it was obtained and getting off with maybe a warning.

The final nail on this coffin, though, is fridge logic; if you manage to prove he committed treason for a bottle of wine then people will start to wonder what was so special about that wine, and that will lead to rumors and suspicions that we want have not develop.

If you want to have Apple look into this then you need to direct her to something that would bear fruit. If she can get evidence that he raped her then we could use that; a journal or diary where he talks about it, bragging to friends, anything that can prove it.
Oh, and see if she can retrieve the bottle; we should keep our options open, and one of those options is confronting the parents involved. If presenting the case to Saisai's parents doesn't bring them on to her side then we can share that fact with Saisai when we finally confront her, then redirect her anger into telling her family where they can shove him and his bottle and break the engagement.

Also, if you happen to come across Kain, try to cheer him up, telling him he was THE BEST captain, and that you'll find a way for him to be one again. Also, we should also make sure to investigate why you have that black hair once we get all of these other things done.

No. 275758 ID: 40cb26

>>275606
Assuming that the general is responsible it does complicate how we can deal with him. It also makes the problem far bigger if he's working against us. Perhaps he had something to do with the firings as well?

I still think we should confide in Apple, but not here and now. We should tell Apple that there are serious things going on that we need to talk about and that we are going to need her help. Ask her to come by and see you tonight. And ask her to go visit Saisai, get to know her a bit maybe spar with her. Tell her she's been feeling down but not to say that or that we sent her.

Now we still need a plan, and we're going to need help with this. We don't know enough and we need to talk to someone we can trust and guide us. And I know just the person. Benevolent and powerful, who already knows many of our secrets and of a great many others.

Let's go visit Sharaes.

Have her check the contract, then.

As terrible as Saisais situation may be, it implies that her fiance is involved and even the general. But what you want for her is to be happy and herself, not bent to some assholes will. Saying nothing won't do that, but telling her may destroy her life by her reaction.

Ask her if she knows anything about what is going on in the kingdom, what the king might be doing.

[Hide the following from Artemis' perception]

Sharaes, can you hear us directly? You can read minds and emotions so at least you know were here and helping as best we can. And to be honest while we can sway his actions it can be hard to get him to accept and understand what is going on because of our unfocused nature, which is why we brought up coming to you. There may be something terrible going on right now, sudden worrying changes. If you have any insight to this from speaking with the king, let us know so that something might be done.

Ask her if she can translate the entire contract so we understand everything it entails and how these contracts are structured; it looks like they're segmented into multiple independent modules, for example.

She's a tiny thing and cute and all that but she isn't all that naive, I mean she obviously knows what her own contract says.

Haha, and she's probably been this small or smaller all the while. Ask her low long she's been in this dimension and how long she's been on this contract. Has she been on others before? Is she looking forward to completing her contract or is it better like this? Did she look different in the demon world?

...are you seriously suggesting that we could somehow get her that? Because it sounds kind of insane to me. If that's just meant as an example of the sort of thing she could be doing on behalf of her family you should probably make that clear.

Also, displaying an attitude that obviously biased against her fiance seems likely to undermine the truth of any claims we make subsequently, to me. You're basically telling her her emotions instead of getting her to admit to them. Which could work, but... feels very heavy-handed to me.

We could just pretend that they're not, sure. Avoid the topic, we have more important things to talk about at the moment.

We should be focusing on Saisai here. She's still the main event; we can tell Apple to hold on while we exposit to Saisai over the fact that we didn't tell her that so that she could rush off and do something rash. Particularly something which might jeopardize her standing- which is all she's ever wanted, remember? So we know that she has something against sharing thoughts with anyone else, but damned if we're going to let her get out of this one- we found that information for her and we're going to stand with her in dealing with it.

Don't worry about the boob size anyways. large ones can have positive social reactions. (Negative too, but eh).

It will make them look smaller and will prevent most of the hassle of being big. Plus, you can pass it off as some sort of enchanted garment protection thing when male.

She sees Saisai walking to her fiance who is falling to the ground. A training speak is sticking out of his body.

>"Saisai.... Why did you...?"

"You know why."

He hits the ground. Saisai turns around and begins walking away from him

>"Balle Serithe Isivu Mal Zeeth"

Saisai turns around to see Chevre rising from the ground encased in stone

>"My love, we won't end this one first blood. It will be until one of us gives up. En garde."

Saisai backs away, her only spear on the ground near Chevre.


Woah... What kind of magic is that...?

Looks like Alchemy. Advanced Alchemy. If it were possible I'd suggest Sasai keep him from touching the ground. Cut off an Alchemist from the elements and they can't use them anymore.

>"Spike!"

Several spike emerge from the ground, all of them aimed at Saisai.
She jumps and dodges all of them and begins slowly inching her way to her speak.
Right when she's able to grab it two earth spikes hit her, one in her head and the other striking her torso.

Well shit, hopefully she can win this. But if she can't Morgans next phoenix down is always an option. It seems silly but the worst thing that can happen here is she gets her hat knocked off. We can't undo that kind of damage.

...Actually, you don't suppose the feather in Saisai's hat is a real phoenix down? It's worth a shot if it comes up.

Th-there's a few people here now, they heard about the fight.

"Apple, go to Morgan and have her prepare a bunch of healing potions please.."

Apple "Okay."

She runs off.
Back in the Arena Saisai is moving to Chevre. She's moving a lot slower then before.
Two plates of cement rise from the earth and crush into her, sandwiching her in. Saisai gasps in pain as the plates move in even closer.
The small crowd grows and they watch in horror.

He is so full of shit. The ONLY reason that he's hurting her is because he couldn't take a spear in the gut as her vengeance for date-rape without hitting back. If he wants to stop, he can stop at any fucking time.

"Stop making me hurt you" is abusive partner logic and cements the fact that Saisai should excise this guy from her life.

If we can enter the fight without breaking the rules, now would be a good time. Saisai's not getting out of this one unless she has a very nice trick up her sleeve.

Feather... Feather!

"Saisai! Saisai your feather!"

She stares at Artemis for a bit, after a moment her eyes go wide in comprehension.

>"Saisai please just end this. I feel bad doing this to you.. I-!?"

Chevre is cut off mid sentance. He falls back clutching his face and screaming in pain.
With his concentration broken the stone walls crumble.

Saisai pulls her spear out of Chevre. He collapses groaning in pain.

Yeah, I'm betting that Saisai could use better healing than we can throw at the moment but any little bit helps.

Also we should see how she's feeling after stabbing that guy repeatedly. Good? Angry? Depressed? Unsatisfied? I can think of logical reasons for all kinds of emotional states, and since we got her into this we pretty much have to stick with her through it.

Artemis runs out of the bleachers and catches up to Saisai who's still going through the hall.
Away from the gaze of others she seems to have dropped her tough facade.
Instead of her usual walk she limp, using the wall as a support. She looks at Artemis.

"..... I won."

Offer her your arm/shoulder to lean on. No one should need a wall when a friend is present.

And then... ask what she wants to do now. She won the battle, but that's unlikely to be the end of this. And based upon how down she looks, she probably knows it- or at least is feeling like stabbing him a couple times is small recompense for what he did to her.

"You know... I died today. Poured magic to fast into a feather trying to create a phoenix down, and it blew up in my face. But it worked, and I was brought back. But when I think of what would have happened if I hadn't... well you would have been less banged up. But not happy, not yourself. Maybe never again. You can't keep being strong while being all alone.

"You did."

Saisai nods.

"Hey.. Give me a hand.."

Artemis helps her back to his room. Once she steps inside she tosses off her helmet and chest plate.
Artemis begins healing her and wiping away her blood. Most of the scratches on her face are gone but she still seems to be in pain. As Artemis heals some cuts in her mouth he notices a few of her back teeth are knocked out.


"So... How're you feeling?"

".... Still pissed off. A little less then before though. At least I managed to cut off his balls.."

"I saw.. You were amazing out there Saisai."

"...."

"So... What are you gonna do now?"

Artemis holds onto Saisai and lets her cry onto his shoulder.
She stays in his arm for what seems like hours sobbing and saying his name. Her sobs subside and she lets go of him.

"I... I'm sorry Artemis. I... When we... When he did that to me.. I felt terrible. Like I couldn't control myself.. All my life... The only thing I've had control over are my emotions.. To lose that.. At that moment... It..."

Saisai opens her mouth but before she says anything she shakes her head, as though trying to get rid of a bad thought.

"I.. Better go. There's a infirmary somewhere around here.."

She collects her things and stands up.


"Here let me help you."

"No... I can't be near you right now. I want to be alone."

Someone opens Artemis's door.

"Hey Artemis I got that potion! ..? Where's Saisai?"

I find it's easy to do something you don't want to when you realize the other options are worse. Consider them:

1. Do nothing, leaving her here. She either is left alone for a long while, or she is given to someone else. This other person may care for her, or abuse her, or more likely report her. If reported she will die, and you'll have been exposed as harboring a demon all the while.

2. Do the right thing and do what you have to to save her. I don't know if you are a virgin or not but being with her can't be a bad experience at all. Only the having to.

3. Force yourself to, decide to do it but have Mimi give you the love potion. It will be done, but you surrender control over what you do and she knows you didn't care for her quite enough to do it on your own.

The first option isn't an option. So the only question for you is if are willing to do it without a crutch. And the only question for Mimi is "Boy or girl me?"

Yea, it's not how you wanted your first time, but she has been nothing but loyal and helpful to you and her life is on the line!

This is why we should have asked if oral counted as sex earlier.

Also, Mimi can do a headstand in there and poke her bottom half out. That'd work.

Are you really going to just leave her? Come on, you know what the right thing to do is. If you really need to take the potion, but try not to.

Here is something you should say: "Mimi, I don't you calling me Master anymore." And then kiss her.

>He does?!
Likely, he's damn suspicious and way too fucking conniving. If it were going to be a problem though it already would have been. Maybe he'll hold it against you later, be wary.

Seriously man, you need to do this. It's that, or go to see the demon king. And the Dragon basically said not to do that. So you need to man up, if you really appreciate Mimi, and fufill the conditions of the contract so she can make a new one. If you don't do this, you'll always have to live with the regret.

"Oh, uhm... what's the demon king like?"

Her voice is muffled through the chest

"He is the lord of shadow, the kind of all demons. Every morning he drinks the blood of 1000 demons and every night he dines on the flesh of 1000 virgins. He makes deals with all mortals willing to forfeit their immortal soul. Only once he has made them suffer for decades do they begin to regret their decision. He has killed thousands, even women and children and will not hesitate to cut a man's head off at the slightest sign of disrespect. Why do you ask?"

"Wishful thinking. Apparently he can nullify demonic contracts on a whim."

Artemis, either sleep with her, go to the library or something and research enough demonic lore to come up with another solution, or just tell her that you're leaving and stick to it. Choose your course of action and commit, no hesitation.

Art, I've been supportive of you this entire time. I've done my best to help you without ever asking for repayment.
This is because I thought you were a decent person, and it sickens me to see just how wrong I was.
You have a duty to Mimi, and instead of doing it you're telling her you care for her life far less than you care for your convenience.

You good sir, are an ass hat. Seriously, a decision of this magnitude requires an examination of all possible choices before an informed decision is made. We're trying to minimize harm to both Mimi AND Arty. This is effectively situational rape of both of them.

Well, unless Mimi is just spouting propaganda about him, he DOES seem out of the question. Perhaps that librarian that seems to well, be a walking library knows how to read the contract in full and translate it into common for us. We might yet find a third way agreeable to all parties.

We got our information from Sharaes the dragon, and if Sharaes says there are no other ways of ending the contract, then there is no other ways of ending the contract.
We have somewhere in the ballpark of twelve hours in which to get Mimi out of here, and we can't do anything that will give her existence away. Researching demonic contracts in general may not be too suspicious, but doing a rush job of researching how to break contracts with unfavorable termination conditions is a red flag to anybody paying attention.

More importantly, Art has failed to reassure Mimi. He is letting her suffer while he thinks of things we know won't work instead of comforting her, and that is completely reprehensible.

And how do we know she's a completely reliable source in matters such as this? It's really fucking important. Second opinion that shit.

We haven't gone and found collaborating sources of info on this.

Guys I... I just can't. I don't want my first time to..
I mean if it's for her I would but...
I want to see if there's any other option.

"Mimi, I'll be right back."

"Okay..."

Artemis takes the copy of the contract to the Academy. He finds Sarah the librarian and asks her to translate this.

>"Uhm sure.. I'm not 'great' at it though. oh a mimic contract. Trying to get one? They're darn useful.. Lesee..."

She translate it as best as she can.

Seriously? That's not another option and you know it. Maybe checking with her about it as well might work, I mean, someone who can make a phoenix down should know a ton of arcane shit. Probably.

(Speaking of reviving, are demons fully rezable? NOT recommendeding the implications of that AT ALL. Sex would be a better choice BY FAR, but this might be useful for loopholing shit later. FOR THE RECORD DO NOT USE THIS ALTERNATIVE IF IT IS ONE.)

It doesn't say that 'master' has to be the one to mate with her. If you want you COULD have someone do it for you.
Though that means you're essentially whoring her out... I think you're first time being with her is slightly preferable to... that.
>>278898
OR, you could try to convince Morgan to sleep with you first, but that would be... awkward. You're not at that stage in the relationship yet.
You've got a hard decision ahead of you whatever you choose, you can take a hit yourself and sleep with Mimi, you can whore Mimi out, or you can possibly ruin your relationship with Morgan/alienate a friend.

No. 278905 ID: 40cb26

Oh hey Artemis ask her what a better contract for a mimic might be! I mean if you have to go through with it it would be best to have a better contract to replace it with. And we are here already anyway.

>>278897
Let me sum that up for you:
RULES:

-TRY TO MOVE MOVE->DIE
It's pretty cut and dry.

Go to Morgan, explain the situation, and ask her what to do. Ask her if she wants to help.
Oh, and see if that "???" is familiar to her.
>>
No. 278907 ID: c6b41e

>>278904
Potentially, or it could be another way of fulfilling the contract. It could quite possibly be false pattern recognition making you think that both of those are Condition -> Consequence.

Besides, unlock is vague as hell. It might not be a equivalent of release, or terminate contract, or fulfill contract.

There's no way I can tell Morgan this...

"So what does this mean?"

"Well.. Basically it means that you need to have sexual intercourse with this Mimic in order to break the contract. It's weird since that's really not even needed... Ah well. If you need any more help please come again."

Artemis thanks her and leaves.

He goes back to his room and sees Mimi.

"Hi Master..."


"Hey Mimi. uhm... Listen... I.."

"It's okay Master. No one's done it before, I didn't expect it to happen now."

Yeah, but non-deal isn't situational rape also. Seriously. This is some really fucked up shit here. Arty's under duress and coercion to do it with a time constraint that is preventing full contemplation or examination of possibilities.

No. 278920 ID: 701a19

>>278915
Ask her if it means it's her first time, too.
After that, ask her what the ??? means.

Finally, lock the door and say "I've been looking for alternatives because that's... special. It's supposed to be romantic, and deepen an already intimate bond. It's not you, or the act, it's the context; I don't like either of us being forced into this. Even if we were ready for it I still wouldn't like being forced...
I'll do it, Mimi."
Then hug her. Use her bag to make the positioning easier.

"Do to. It's the rules.."

"Well no one's enforcing it here."

"Look I... I've been looking for alternatives because that's... special. It's supposed to be romantic, and deepen an already intimate bond.

Artemis takes off the guardian and puts it onto the floor.

"Master.. You don't have too."
