Alright! First things first. Vresch gave me 25 luxury tickets before I left, so first thing I do is make a beeline for a barbershop. It doesn't take very long to find one, and one luxury ticket later, my hair is looking much cleaner.

Next stop on the list is a hat shop! It was run by a hobgoblin. I'd never met a hobgoblin before. He was a friendly sort of fellow. This hat cost me two luxury tickets. Possibly a rip off, but I have no idea how much things cost here, or even if overcharging me would serve a purpose. Maybe hats just cost two tickets?

Something I've noticed in my wanderings. There aren't any mega-marts or anything. Just hundreds and hundreds of specialty shops. If I were to take a guess, I'd say its probably to boost the total number of available jobs... but that's just a guess.

Last stop on the list is Arcanitech headquarters, and after this, the Sorcerer's Guild. The streets all seem to be sparsely crowded at all times of the day, no matter where I am. This particular street has much shorter buildings than the rest of the city. I think this part of Neotis must have been a part of an older city, and Neotis simply subsumed it. It doesn't take long to find the old Ignometics building, but... it... doesn't look very safe... at all.

...Well, in we go.

There is a woman at the desk here, reading something.

O-okay!

"Uhhh, hello!" I say.

The secretary looks up from her paper. "Oh! I'm sorry, I did not see you there. What do you need, madam? Having trouble with product installation? Did you need a runecraft?"

...She speaks very quickly. "W-well, no. I need to see Mister, uhhh, Jay Henderson."

"Do you have an appointment?"

...fuck.

Summon Owlbear. Maul Secretary to death. Proceed.

Or failing that, politely inquire as to when it would be possible to set up an appointment with Mr. Henderson. Judging from the state of things in here, it can't be too long. Its not like there's some big hurry, either.

>>43285
Claim you come on behalf of either Vresch of Rastin, and that you would like to see mister Jay Henderson as soon as possible.

Do we have something on our person for the purpose of convincing people we're important?

>>43285
No need to complicate matters. Not yet, anyway. Ask how soon you could arrange an appointment.

I doubt we have any way to verify this. We'll probably be laughed out of the building.

That's just the tail-end of the word IGNOMETICS.

>Do we have something on our person for the purpose of convincing people we're important?
That would be amazingly useful, but anything I had for such a purpose would undoubtedly connect me to Rastin somehow. So, sadly, I'll need to somehow do all this on my own merits.

Although, Vresch said he'd help somehow, but I honestly have no idea what he means by that...

>Claim we came on behalf of Rastin
While that would probably work, it'd connect me to the troll pretty strongly. Not sure I want to do that.
>I doubt we have any way to verify this. We'll probably be laughed out of the building.
Also that.

>Ask to arrange an appointment as soon as possible
"Umm... Could I arrange an appointment to see him?"

"Certainly." She sets down whatever her report is and wheels her chair over to the computer. "Name?"

"Ah, Coralina Madison."

"Reason for your appointment?"

...There's all sorts of things I could say here. I should probably establish some sort of motive for why I'm going to be visiting all these leaders. How should I respond?

>>43303
hrm, how about a reporter? Are there any newspapers or anything? Just say you'd like to interview him on the group's views and beliefs.

Reporter angle could work well in the long run if we get a big following.

>>43303
You were hoping they would have a way to fix that seal over your eye.

Just an idea. You might also ask this on your visit to the Sorceror's Guild.

>>43307
The only issue with the reporter angle is that we'd need credible backing.

"Oh, so you're from Bleeding Hearts then. I'll put you in for thursday afternoon. Does 4pm sound good?"

[For reference, today is Monday, so that's 3 days from now.]

Oh, wow. This'll work for everything. Yeah, you're trying to write a comparative piece on the most important organizations in Neotis. A little flattery like that might help get your foot in the door.

>>43311
Three days? Oh bugger.

Vresch said he'd help us, right?

See if he somehow slipped us in for a preemptive appointment. Just act like you're a little absentminded. 'Did I already have an appointment registered? I actually forget. Been all over, see...'

>>43311
Sounds good to me; we'll probably have plenty to do before then anyway.

Now... where else were we going?

>>43313
Oh, that is a good finishing touch. Now that they actually think Coralina's a reporting (Bleeding Hearts? Really?), if they also think we'd paint them in a positive light (and thus garner positive publicity), they might be more forthcoming with info.

Alright, I take the tramline to 440, and... huh. As I step off the tram's elevator, I see a large crowd is gathered at the base of the Sorcerer's Guild tower.

Should I investigate, or just try and avoid trouble? I could still go somewhere else, there are a lot of groups.

Why would you go somewhere else, this is obviously the closest destination if you can already see it.

Let's go observe.

>>43341
uh, check for violence. if so we might want to head to the bleeding hearts to see what they're like if we're going to be masquerading as them.

If none see what the fuss is about.

While you're out, it might help to see if you can pick up a newspaper, since they apparently do exist after all. Even if you don't have time to read it now, it's an easy source of information, both for your cover story and maybe even for the research you're doing.

>>43341
Avoid the violence!

Head towards Nihilism Tech. Go see Remi <3

She might be a bit weird, but you know, she was friendly to you and might see you right away~

I don't see any violence, just a mass of people with picket signs. I ask someone on the edge what's going on. A teenage boy answers.

"Lady, haven't you heard? ...Oh, duh, if you did you wouldn't be asking. Well, these damn sorcerers have been teaching kids how to use magic, and haven't given them any control! One kid died in his own apartment after setting it on fire last week, and just this morning some kid blew up a buncha his friends by mistake! Teaching people magic is fine and all, but they're just committing secondary homicide! This just can't stand! They need to take responsibility!"

His shirt has a patch on it, but its blank. I'm not sure what significance that has, but it looks weird.

>Visit Remi!
...Later.

>>43376
Well, ok. I suppose you know the result of stupid kids using magic they don't fully understand, DON'T YOU.

Anyway, push to the front, see if you can get in :V

>>43376
Hrm, as a "reporter" you have a duty to investigate further, and of course get both sides.

Tell him something to this effect, also that if more people know what's happening by your actions more might be do- blah blah blah you know what I mean. Make nice and get through without them tossing rocks at you.

Ask about the patch. I don't think there's any harm to people knowing you're new to the city.

>>43385
Interesting.

Should you decide to garner backing from the Sorceror's Guild, you could use this as a way to get the rest of the citizens of Neotis on your side to be more amenable to your future rule. In "reforming" the Sorceror's Guild to be more responsible and cautious in their teachings, you might mollify the civilian population.

Additionally, this is good in another way. It means we won't have to jump through goddamn hoops to learn a bit more about magic, if they're willing to teach it to a bunch of kids too stupid to not practice potentially dangerous magic in their own homes.

>>43376

Its been at least 3 years, yeah. I met some big group hiding out in a walmart around then. I didn't stay long. I kinda liked living on my own. Solitude is nice, yanno? People tend to muck it up.

But I'm going to have to re-adapt to all this city stuff, since I know I'd do a better job than Rastin. Heck, if I search long enough, maybe I can even find someone to replace me.

I want to know why the front row consists for freaking elves and valkyries. Shouldn't the tall people be in back? Ugh. This is DUMB.

>show us what you see once you are up front.
Right, the matter at hand. There seems to be a small cleared out area in the middle. Some kid is there, alternating between kicking the door, shouting at the door, and riling up the crowd.

Is he kicking the door just to annoy them, or because he's genuinely trying to get in? If it's the latter, we're just going to let in an angry mob if we get inside.

Doubt she has. She was a kid when they summoned Vresch, and she spent the following years solitary.

So unless she was up to something at an inappropriate age, I don't think she's had the chance.

That said, I would think someone like Bicardi would be more her speed.

I figured it helped that he resembled someone we know she had a crush on in the past, and so fit the physical type she likes, and he's also been nothing but kind and helpful to us even the point of risking himself by openly warning her about Rastin.

This entire district is covered in graffiti. Murals, posters, paintings. Most of the people here have piercings, tattoos, skimpy clothing. There look to be a roughly even mix of brothels and crafts stores.

This building here looks like a good place to ask for Naveen, seeing as her face is plastered on the wall, and the FR symbol is on the door. Its a strange symbol - you look at it one way, you see a fox in a trenchcoat. Another way, its a man in a wig. It took me a minute to see the wig man.

"Well, um. Yes, yes I am." I lie.

"She's at the end of the hall, nya. Go right on in."

"Are those ears real?"

"Nyo. The Trancy's can't be trusted. They'd probably give me bat ears, or something. Nya."

>>50681

Ok then. Goodbye.

Let's go to that meeting.

"Who whatnow?"

Blink.

"Wait, you're just a normal human?"

The Trancy's what? Ear machine?

... is the Trancy the person who we know as Trancy Mick?

I figure Trancy might be some kind of slang for a transfiguration mage or something similar.

I ask him what he means by Trancy's, and if he's a normal human.
"Of course I'm a normal human, nya. Normal as anyone else, really. The Trancy's are the Transcendants, man. The guys who do human experimentation, and all that. Those guys are fucked up. Can't be trusted. We tried to get along with 'em, really. But they just got no morals, no morals! ...Nya."

He turns on an intercom quick. "I'm sending her over, Naveen." When he turns it off, I finally notice some noises coming from his computer I would rather have not noticed at all.

Well, I was wrong. These guys are useless.

I guess head inside out of politeness. Try to wrap it up quick.

Also: ARE we pretending something or other? You have to remind us about special conditions like that. The orb wasn't designed with much long term memory.

Head on in to Naveen.

Our cover story is that we're a reporter. That was from just this morning - you don't even have a short term memory! Gah.

I'll head on in, since she's expecting me and all...

We're specifically NOT memory. We're thought. There's a difference.

>>50701
well this is going well already! Accept them and stuff.

Manners, Cora. Accept the roses but brook no violation of your personal space.

Besides, anyone who knows sorcery will recognize your sealed eye. No big loss in letting them know. They'd have found out sooner or later.

Hmm... Is she aware of who we are? I'm uncertain. If this reception was intended for someone else, we could get some soap opera tyope shit going down in the future.

Just introduce yourself and go in. Might as well see if they're as useless as they appear.

Enter. Engage in pleasantries and small talk to start.

>>50710

Realise that they are useless.
Pay the Transcendants a visit.

Everyone calls Naveen a she, so... I assume a girl. And they look bigger than mine...

>Why don't we introduce ourselves?
"H-hello, M-miss Naveen. I'm C-Coralina."

"My my, so nervous! Sit down, sweety, relax! I probably won't bite."

My seating options seem to be a heart shaped bed and a loveseat.

...

Compliment her flower pot, sit on the bed. Try to act nonchalant.

>>50718
Lets make this brief, ya? As pleasant a visit as this looks to be, remember that we are here under false pretenses, and THAT in turn means that any moment now the sorceress that Naveen is really waiting for could show up. The longer we take doing whatever it is we're doing here, the bigger the chance that we're going to get in an even MORE awkward situation.

>>50718
Stand.

Oh, and be on your guard. I don't trust anything that has a name and title flash across them when you meet them.

Too many memories of Zelda.

>>50718
HEART BED.

Okay, so we need to find out more about this organization. What do they do, who are they buddies with, etc. Um.

Actually, do we know why Naveen wanted a sorcerer in the first place?

Cross-legged on the floor. It's relaxed! :3

Arm of the loveseat. Casual, but easier to avoid advances via 'run awayyyy!'. If you're concerned about that sort of thing.

"Naveen as Patricia"

Meaning she played a roll where she kissed a girl.

AAaawh yea- I mean, watch out Coralina

>>50718
Beep? Oh shit! If that bed is vibrating, get the fuck out of here.

On a more serious note, that's pretty useful. Certainly get your message out there, perfect way to start a fake rebellion.

OOO OOO... no... WAIT-... nooo... ok, let's just try and ask why she wants a sorceress here... besides rape.

Uh. What... kind of relationship does Naveen have with that sorceress?
Perhaps we should explain exactly why we're here.

that is if you don't want to have sex, she is pretty damn hot.

Note to self: Thank Rastin later. He may be a jerk, but damn if he doesn't know what we want to see!

Oh lol. For once, I approve of Rastin's actions.

Go along with it, Cora. Enjoy it.

Woah, now, lets not be hasty with flinging of spells and summoning of demons here. This situation is awkward, not threatening.

Lets consider that we may be misinterpreting her intentions. "You're little treat? I'm not sure I understand."

>>51017
Backup plan: you're not Coralina. You're just a reporter, and were just pretending to be her to get the interview. But now that you've been found out, you promise you'll leave just as soon as this Coralina person gets here and would she mind answering a couple questions in the meantime?

But unless things go horribly wrong, for now just tell her that there must have been some misunderstanding, you're supposed to be taking notes of the organization's goals and methods for... let's say statistical purposes.

And remember, it's Rastin's fault that you need nested cover stories, not ours.

Or explain that Rastin is a goddamn troll despite ruling the world, and that you're not actually here for that.

"Oh that son of a bitch"

Eh ... aside from trying to bang you she seems rather nice. So I guess you could at least try to get away from her without summoning Gorillas first.

Summon a Perronele.

>>51070

Supersuit! Supersuit! Where is your supersuit made of muscle and eyes!... Wait, let's not panic. Mayby she isin't a monster about to eat you and just your normal garden variety transsexual that likes you... Oh, you were worried about that more? Pfffft.

I'm worried this one enjoys life under Rastin and has been asked to dispose of a meddler like you. Would that be the case?

Why does everyone assume Cora doesn't want to play too? Just because she's shy? She hasn't seemed particularly averse to this.

Summon gorilla bouncer in tuxedo!

>>51088
naww. Vresch would be upset if he found out. Then Rastin would be fucked.

>>51070
Wait ... Rastin WANTS us to freak out and run away. He expects that! Have great sexual intercourse instead and thank Rastin later.

Okay... That's enough of that.
Say something to the effect of "Look I don't know what Rastin told you (that fucking TROLL) but I'm just here to interview you."

D:

VRESCH STOP WATCHING DAMNIT.

>>51101
Actually, thats a good point. This could be a setup. Rastin may be attempting to circulate a video like this, because think about it: Something like this revealed to the public could ruin your credibility. Who would take you seriously as a ruler, then? No no no, if anything like this is going to happen, it has to be on YOUR terms.

>>51105
Or maybe I'm being paranoid.

Either way: "Uhm, there seems to have been a misunderstanding. I'm not- I'm just here to interview you regarding your organization."

>>51105
Agreed, It's a set up. Refuse/summon/GTFO

>>51105
Why would seeing someone have sex ruin their credibility as a leader? Honestly, I'd appreciate if my leaders were more open with their lives.

Something like "Ma'am, I'm... flattered, but... It's Rastin. He's probably videotaping this to use against me."

>>51133
Except instead of "me" say "you". We're unimportant... remember?

And if that doesn't work, better get summoning. I forgot, can you summon things with a mind? Like a horny gorilla?

>>51133
The whole point is that she may be in on it, so saying that out loud is probably a poor idea.

>>51135
Why? Better to know now.

>>51133

And if that dosen't work there's always the horrible eye suit to destroy any amorous moods.

>>51129
No. She can't interest you. Be polite but firm with this. Don't panic, she can smell fear and it turns her on.

Basically either:

A. Rastin has bugged the room to circulate a video of this.

B. Naveen is going to videotape it, either for her own purposes or for Rastin. Either way, Rastin can use it.

C. It's not being videotaped, we're just being paranoid, and Rastin just wanted to prank the shit out of us. But hey, thats our job. We're paranoid so Coralina doesn't have to be. Better safe than sorry.

"Maybe some other time? As nice as you seem to be, I'm not sure I'm wholly comfortable doing...something more with someone I just met...and other stuff. Yeah."

Also, if its your first time, you can mention that. It might get her to be a little more sympathetic to you're shyness, and thus get her to back off a bit with the aggressiveness.

>>51144
Faking shyness will make her think its part of a game. Be assertive! No is no!

>>51131
"No thanks, I traded my libido for the power to cause heads to explode."

Get her the hell off of you, Coralina. Don't care how.

And if she tries to grab you again, summon a fucking gorilla.

>>51163
She seems the type to have some kind of drug in her lipstick or in her mouth to get people horny or something. If you really want her to stop, I would suggest summoning something. You probably won't have the strength to push her off if she did just poison you.

Well, Coralina, you know the score. We can only give suggestions. Ultimately the decision is yours.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing you finally summon something we tell you that's larger than a matchbox car.

>>51262
Oh great, she's going to inject you with something. Prevent the needle from penetrating your soft, supple flesh.

>>51262
FUCK FUCK THATS A SYRINGE! GRAB IT, MONKEY!

>The lovely lady has something to inject
>Cora is now blind
SHIT

>>51274
She can see through the monkey, cmon Cora, you can do it!

Brace your arm against his arm and the nightstand so he cant bring the syringe down on you!

"Really. No means no, Naveen."

"Wha-?"

"Oh, you're a summoner. I've never had a gorilla before."

Use the gorilla's other hand to cover her mouth so she can't call for help.

>>51279
Mr. Bananas, dislocate this overeager media mistress from us.

KTHX. <3

Ditch Gorilla. Replace with Hydralisk wearing Pro-Republican tee shirt.

>>51280
to hell with that- let's just break the bugger's neck.

>>51278
BREAK HER FUCKING ARM

Take the syringe away, remove Naveen from yourself in the least sexy way possible. Actually, are your summons even vulnerable to poisons and the like?

Break her arm.

Ffffff- give her the ultimate wedgie, make her panties reach the top of her head and leave. We need some positive experience after this...

>>51287
Do this.

Also, ask whats in the syringe.

Superwedgie!

Just tell her Rastin lied to her. You aren't here for anything sexual.

... yet

>>51298
She stopped being here for anything even remotely intimate when Naveen tried to inject her with god-knows-what.

>Actually, are your summons even vulnerable to poisons and the like?
Not particularly, no. I mean, if it dissolves tissue or something it'll work, but I doubt Naveen would use anything like that. She doesn't want to kill me.

>Remove her in the least sexy way possible
Not sure its the least sexy, but it does the job.

>Break her arm
>Super wedgie
...Should I really do something bad to her? She had every reason to believe I was a hired whore. This is Rastin's fault, not hers.

>Ask her what's in the syringe
"What were you going to use on me?"

"A high powered aphrodisiac. What are you going to do to me now, sweetheart~"

>>51301
We're leaving.

"I am going to akwardly explain what i was actually here for. Then possibly beat you up for that videotape."

>>51304
but take the syringe with us.

>>51301

Take the syringe.

>>51301
Gaah. Keep her pinned down. Forcefully explain, in very explicit detail, that we are not here for any type of service, for reals, and that Rastin said what he did because he's an asshat. Fucking. Rastin.

Also, get your scarf back while you're at it.

WAIT!

Before you go, make sure to get the videotape. You can use it later during your campaign to show that you bested Naveen by yourself and portray her as a weak little pervert to the public!

Enough bullshit.

Cross your arms, frown, and put your beret back on.

Say "I'm Coralina, and in one month I'm going to be running this place. Rastin is full of crap. Now, either you stop being stupid and listen, or I'm going to inject this ENTIRE syringe into you and then leave you tied up in your closet."
