Martial Arts B, Absorb B, Or Persistence.

Speed.

Persistence, absorption, or martial arts.

Persistence is #1.

>>510275
that was specifically said to be a mistake, there s no SSS rank.

>>510278
There goes my smile... Oh well. Absorb it is.

I like Speed the best. But if not it, Martial Arts.

Absorb. Short-term it'll be a little more difficult, but long-term it'll make us stronger. (Plus improving absorb would also improve knowledge absorption as a side effect.)

Martial Arts or Speed.

Or Absorb. Absorb is good too.

Lets upgrade martial arts to (C) :3

Ok no really, take Martial Arts (B)

>>509959
Absorb

Guys, if we take absorb we actually have to destroy dolls to get the benefit. No more taking surrender.

>>510592
...why would absorb be restricted to death? Logically, it'd expect it's what we're using right now, only it is less effective as Kinesis survived.

Currently, with rank B, with get two upgrades for a destroyed doll, and one for a spared. If we got to rank A, I'd expect each to increase (3 for destroyed, 2 for spared).

>>510592
I want to destroy dolls...

>>510619
Like anything else, we'll decide that case by case, depending on the circumstances. We aren't a pacifist, but we're not a murder either.

SPEED (B)

On one hand, getting absorb ASAP is better in the long run. On the other hand, we still need to *win* to collect anything, and speed would help with that. But I still say Absorb wins out though, since speed won't make or break us at this point. It's creative use of infinities tricks that sees us through.

Absorb = infinite potential

If we don't get some combat abilities we won't survive the next battle. This guy only had speed at his disposal and if we hadn't had a trick to stop him in his tracks we would have lost. Period.

>>510640
Our opponent lost because we turned their speed against them and did you forget that we can gain combat abilities from Absorb without fighting doll?

>>510657
That takes time, and an entire library. An entirely different library. Every time. Plus that only coveres knowledge based combat skills. Pure strength, toughness and speed will overwhelm us. We can't exactly defeat someone with steel skin right now.

>>510658
It doesn't matter how powerful the enemy is as last long as we can turn their power against them we will win.

>>510658
Unless we have a convenient body of water around I don't see us winning against a truly tough opponent. And even then I don't think it'd work... dolls don't breathe.

>Martial Arts (B) Gained
>TEMERITY Gained for Aleph

The power flows into Infinity, her eyes closing and then opening as she looks at her hands. Interestingly, black arrows pointing out are now on the backs of them.
"So... That's it?" the woman asks. "... My name is Jessica."
"Aleph." you reply. "You understand what this means, right? No working against me. No letting harm come to me. You do as I say. Anything I say."
"Anything~?" she asks, leaning forward. You attempt to keep your eyes on hers, growing a little tired of this, though temptation does bubble a bit. "Don't worry. I understand just fine. But where from here?" she asks, raising an eyebrow. "I have a car, if you want to go anywhere... Even my place~." she jokes, (you think) looking around.

That's true. It's very late - you'll have to explain when you get back, wherever you go.

You may choose to go anywhere you like, now including Jessica's home, which is deep downtown.

Go to your new servant's house.

>>512197
We may want to get Kinesis a shirt or something to cover that symbol.

>TEMERITY
Reckless bold rashness? That's just great. As if we weren't prone enough to that already, the character is gonna push harder in that direction. We have to be careful.

>Where go?
The mysterious secret email-field voice thinks we should go to the mall.

I say we do so. See what happens- learn if we can trust the mystery voice or not.

We should also talk to Jess, find out about her, if we're going to be working with her. Who she is, how long she's been doing this, how she got her doll. After all, we're kind of new to this, and our memory only goes back a day or so.

If we want to try and keep Infinity's name hidden from other masters who come to duel us, we may need to get Kinesis a shirt or something to cover up that marking.

>Anything~?
...yeah, you're not about to stoop to what would be magic binding compulsion slash doll-hostage rape just yet, thanks.

I think we should go meet Gerald and those guys. Especially since we now have more temerity~

>>512205
I think that was just referring to this thing from before:
>You don't have the required temerity to ask!

So I guess we can do stuff with more confidence now.

Also, go to the Mall.

>>512233
The Mall, because the MYSTERIOUS VOICE said to, and I'd like to find out who they are.

>>512197
Given the time of day, in that it isn't daytime anymore, we should be done looking for trouble for the night. But the voice says we should hit the mall and I'm willing to go along with that. I want to hear more about this teamwork thing she's seen and the rest of her doll fighting experiences. As long as we don't get in another fight we'll have time to talk there. ...Then let's take up Jess on her offer. In a way that doesn't imply things, of course.

We should hit the mall and get Jess a jacket so she isn't drawing Gerald's attention whenwe ask if he's single~ (and hoping we are whichever gender he's interested in~)

>>512197
Wherever we go, we should get a little info on Jessica, if she's going to be working for us, some basic info would be nice. How did she get Kinesis? And does she have any leads or info on other Masters?

Also ask her what her sizes are!

>To the mall!

Jess raises an eyebrow, but drives you anyway. In the darkness, there is a call.

"Ho, Fellow Dolls and Masters! I call to you, not as a foe, but an ally! I am to be your greatest ally! I, who rest in every young man and woman's heart!

"Who hold together mankind's families!

"Who of songs are sung!"

"What say you, mighty allies?!"

Fuuuuck?

>>512860
SHOOT EVERY- I mean, say, "What." Loudly and clearly.

What the hell kind of power is heart?

...I have to say, I wasn't expecting things to go prism ranger, but whatever. We can work with this, inanity aside.

That's nice.
...Now lets turn around, walk away, and never come back here.

Kill it! Kill it before it can say anything else!

>>512867
My sentiments exactly. I have a bad feeling about this doll for some reason.

Perhaps it's the scary possibilities of The power of love?

>>512862
Turn to Jess
"...Did you just witness what I just did? "

Let's not go the the mall, 'tis a silly place.

>>512862
Oh crap. We're in serious danger.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL.

hey, at least we're safe against Malachite.

Well shit. Either we end up with a batshit crazy ally or a batshit crazy enemy. Maybe. Where the hell is it's master?

oh no, it's the ultimate doll

we were fools! thinking ourselves clever with infinity

LOVE CONQUERS ALL D:

I'm frightened that the chapter is ending here. what if it's using some kind of love mind control ability and the quest resumes 10 months later with us as part of some creepy cult
terrifying
