Oh, and your flippy-trick worked, we're now behind you, looking in the direction of your 'forward'.

Okay well I'm starting to regret this whole trip kind of. I'm trying to not freak out because this is an ork city so the elevator has to support orks who are super heavy so it should be okay but... yeah you could put your foot right through the floor there. Eurgh.

Uhm, whatever, we'll be out soon hopefully. In the meantime, I'm going to let you guys go for a bit until we find someone. We're just going to be wandering around talking to people, right? Kind of boring. I'll grab you as soon as we catch a lead, alright?

See you guys soon.

Hey V-2. I don't suppose you have any connection with your other self that would let you know where he is, or what he's near?

they are coming back you know. They just left to find Victor and maybe a few of his friends. and I wouldn't leave if I were you, they'd then have to go out and find you and there are some mean things out in the world. Just have some patience and they'll be back soon.

>>588578
Well, if you can find a hood or something so people don't get spooked upon seeing you, you could go somewhere. Where would you like to go? Just keep in mind you won't be able to talk to anyone, and people will try to talk to you, which as you've said is annoying.

Alternatively you could snoop around in Firebeard's room, but I expect him to have security measures.

i cOuld go out..

i was JUST mad tho

noone talks to me not the blood girl who can say words not vicki


the Blood Girl Said im Dead

i dont feel Dead BUT she said im dead

i dont feel Pain

is security a BAd thing if Your dead?

nothing Hurtds

not quite, your body is dead, but you are the ball on top of the body. we are trying to find ways to make you better. like a new body to control that isn't dead, and a way for people to talk to you without it sounding strange.

>>588612
Wasn't she talking with you earlier, when you helped with the wall? Well, anyway, we're trying to fix the body thing. The problem is that the body you have right now will eventually start to decay, and will probably become harder to control until it falls apart. Then you won't have a body.

If you want to go nosing around and risk damage to your body go ahead. Try the other door first though, off to your right.

They would love to talk to you if we could work out a way for you to talk back. Do not worry buddy we will work on fixing that once everyone is safe and sound.

For now we will keep you company. If there is anything you want to do lets go do it.

Wasn't it also the case that sound kinda...Really hurt or something? Like you didn't like what happened when others talked around you?
Either way, we'll certainly work on it, for now we can hang out and chill.

okay, first thing is we need to figure out your special skills. try to magic.

I've got a question to ask everybody over in the discussion thread.

http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/79363.html

>>588752
If you can still blast random magic, the best thing you can do to help is hold down the fort while the others are out. Patrol the halls, and all that.

But uh, what are your plans for the future? What sort of body would you want, if you got a new one? What role would you like to have in this little group we've got going?

mAgic is what I do and now I dont do mAgic

... Hrm.
That...Demands experimentation...
Now that I think on it, that Baron guy had green orbs imbedded in him not unlike what you appear to be (presuming you consider yourself the orb riding in the corpse's head)...Perhaps we could bring this up with Ava the Blood mage the next time we're with her...
But anyhow, Vicki didn't happen to leave either of the tomes around did she? If she did maybe you can attempt to read and make sense of it. I suspect anlyed style-magic won't work as you are now a orb-thing.
Alternatively, that IS your magic-being able to puppeteer bodies. Which makes me wonder what would happen if we stuck you in a living body, your thoughts on that?

yeah, try reading a magic book.

Weren't you doing blood magic before?

Well, since you can't do MAGIC anymore, why not try something else? Maybe find some paper and do some origami or something. Experiment until you find something neato new you can do to while away the time.

Wait which book is that, anyway? Is that the book she bought that started this mess, or one of the other books?

Actually you mind telling us what you can understand? We can help possibly gain your magic back if your able to study it properly.

Sweet lets start spraying blood all over the place.

Actually I have no idea what you could do with blood magic but that sounds like a good place to start.

Oh or we could try to turn the statue outside into a giant flesh golem. Then it can protect the house! I mean we had all those walls with teeth and eyes earlier so how hard could it be?

What are you trying to do? You didn't say what spell this was. I did see something happening, though. You can definitely do magic.

If the square head is the caster, then... I see several different spells on these pages. The first one might be... intangibility? Or invisibility? The second one... like some sort of barrier? Or mind control?

I don't think you're going to see any effects from either of these spells without someone else here to observe you.

We saw a glow around that body's hands for the first spell (hands were held together)...And then the orb that comprised you glowed during the second spell (hands up around head)
But...That's the ah, 'Estoric' Tome right? that's a toughie, since that's the magic that doesn't quite jive with the rest of the categories, plus it tends to be kind of hard to notice sooo...Hard to say what, if anything, it did.

The first spell made a dark aura inside your chest. The second one made your "Mind," green orb, glow purple.

What about the second page? It looks like it's showing a spell for rain. That's much more noticable.

What is the "Chae"? It seems to be referencing that a lot.
Are these words that you understand, or are we reading what you cannot? "Focus upon the second, bring power to chae and" followed up a symbol. If we're seeing that translated because you understand it, then that explains that, but still, Chae must be something Proper.

>>590841
Try Delusion.

>>590849
Well, keep in mind, it seems to be saying that it effects yourself, to give you a Muse, to allow you to come up with crazy ideas? I think that's what it's saying.

Choir-

Focus upon ~the~ bring power to chae~ and~

~They help~?
Or is it ~ They ~ help ~?
Let yourself see as they do.

Open the way~ free yourself...

Wait, are those the spells you just cast?
I wonder...this is probably going to make the room cold if it works, if it gets to cold, move/ cut me off if you feel it.

>>590862
Oh, are we the Chae?

>>590862
Choir is the spell that's cast to attune us to someone.

>>590881

Well you are definitely destroying something in the background. That living wall does not look happy.

Stop casting and go check on those black marks on the walls. Lets see what you just did to the building.

You're either spraying black ink or slicing everything apart. Let's not use that particular spell again if we don't have to but we can confirm that it works!

I think I hate that book now.

Time to survey the damage. Are all the stairs ruined now? Can this be fixed or is the hideout now a deathtrap and we need to find another one?

Well that was awesome whatever it was. Don't worry to much about the damage we can always figure something out. Sort of sad we messed up that living wall though.

well, did you get a good feel for how that magic went through you? try making it go in reverse.

That spell will be pretty useful some time soon, I'm sure.

Lets keep you safe this time. Maybe try tossing something at the decay from a safe distance first and see what happens. Or find another way around.

One of the spells was likely an enhancement spell. The decay spell did what it was supposed to do maybe BECAUSE of your enhancement, and you got past the obstacle easily due to the enhancement as well. It's not that the world is easier on you, it's that you're harder on the world.

C'mon through!

Hey! Sorry for not bringing you over before, but things went more-or-less according to plan. We found them down in the basement fairly quick, using Ava's eye rune thing. You were right, they were probably trying to throw us off and make us go to the cabin instead. Uhm, we didn't find the kidnappers, though.

You're nearly there, big guy! Just a little bit- ....

..Whas... wash madder...

As you can see, they were hardest on the big one first. The goblin insists she can fix him up, she just needs somewhere to work. And she sort of demanded that we protect her at our place, since we "brought this shit on them". I don't know, they're part of the crew now? Or something? They said they had plans, whatever that means. Whatever.

Vicki... I don't mean to intrude- and it is important that you bring the guides up to date, but... turn around.

So... uhm, what happened here?

Status update in the discussion thread.

Uh, good news and bad news... Good news is that V2 has insanely powerful magic!

...Bad news is he can't tell what his magic is doing until after the effects have taken place.

So, remember the tome of estoric magic?
Turns out there's this one spell called 'whirlwind' and it freaking DECAYS EVERYTHING!
It might kinda buff it's caster though?

>>594656
So uh the good news is that V-2 can use magic conventionally, rather than randomly. The bad news is that one of the spells he tried wrecked the place. There wasn't really any way we could've known it was going to do that.

You got Victor, right? We can just move out of this location and go take over the other place he was considering putting the base when we started out. We can continue using the leyline here and use the ruined building as a magic testing site.

Okay... so I guess the first question would be, who the fuck is V-2 and why does he using my tome?!

Wait! That- that rings a bell... something to do with... green?

Green what? What are you talking about?

I... Is there a reason we're just standing around here? I have carried more but - ahh - that does not make this any... easier...

Alright, c'mon, we're nearly there.

That's actually a pretty good idea- I mean, finding a new place is obvious, but why not use this place for magic testing? Not like we can do much else with it.

But we kind of have a big ork to take care of first. We can't really spend like, an hour farting around looking for somewhere. Or, maybe we can, while the ork and goblin stay behind and do their stuff? I don't know, whatever, either way we need to get those two inside.

We can still go in there, right? Like, it's not gonna kill us?

>who the fuck is V-2 and why does he using my tome?!
Uh... The guy who's missing the top half of his head and has a green orb shoved inside of it?
>We can still go in there, right? Like, it's not gonna kill us?
Just don't touch the decay itself, V-2 said that it's bad. You can probably throw something over it, though.

Should be fine just watch out for structural damage in the lobby.

Its like someone set off a magical blade storm that decayed anything the blades touched. Wish we could say more but we can only sort of look at stuff from a distance.

That Living wall is probably not happy right though.

>>595263
You know, Victor's corpse clone? Oh don't tell me you can't remember him? One of the spells he tried may have been a sortof-stealth spell that makes everyone forget he exists for a duration. If we knew which one it was, that'd be handy.

Go in, don't touch the decaying spots, just in case. We don't know for sure if it's a problem like your spreading ice and fire were, but it could be.

It looks like pretty much all the black stuff's on the top two floors, so we shouldn't have to avoid it too too much. That's kind of lucky. Sort of? And my tomes are still right there! Awesome. A minute ago I had this really sudden feeling that someone was using them... I'm not really sure why, though? Paranoia or something, I guess.

Whatever. Okay, we got to patch up this ork guy first. Give me just a moment, we're going to get him and the goblin in here and make sure they're all cozy and fine, and then we'll go out and look for a new spot. I'll talk to you in like five minutes, alright?
