Your Princess name is Glimmerstrike because your blades are shiny and so is your blistering aura*. Not to mention the way blood bounces off the glistening metal compound when you make a blow.
But Glimmerstrike is a lot of letter shapes and makes you sound like a horse or a dragon. Noble and terrifying beasts, but not assassins. You go by Striker. You are high-class enough to be deserving of an adverb title, you think.

‘Dickbutt’ is an old family name. Its supposed to be the sound a particular cute bird, also called the ‘dicbut,’ makes. You shun these birds. You can only admit these facts to yourself and the voices in your head who are also yourself.

Striker, you are lost.
You deny being lost. The forest is vast but you know there are powerful estates in here, somewhere, hidden in the foliage. You must find them and also avoid detection by their agents. It is a delicate dance.
You might consider stopping to rest, taking inventory.

What will you do, dickbutt?

>>600428
Make a camouflaged little alcove that you can rest in. Take stock of your inventory and skills. Can you do sweet ninja jumps between trees and shit?

Ok, so our mission is to find a number of hidden buildings without being found ourself? How did we know they are here to begin with (since that might be relevant to how to find them more specifically)?

Also, what are we a princess (or sort-of-princess) of?

are we the princess of pancakes?

Use whatever hunting skills you have to find shelter (from other people) and then check your inventory. Find out if you have enough supplies to make a tent or fire.

Become one with nature and be not lost anymore.

Take inventory, first. We need to know what we have before we can make informed decisions about what to do.

What do you do with powerful estates when you find them?

"Can you do sweet ninja jumps between trees and shit?”

Who do you think you are? Orange Aura Fox Child? You think you can use your chakrahs to cling to trees and make copies of yourself? You think your soul is inhabited by that of a demon?

Come on, man, this is real life. And Orange Aura got canceled after just two seasons. :(

It takes centuries of training to do that stuff. And, reality check number four, no one lives past 120! So you’re not even sure how you know how long it takes to learn to be able to do that stuff, since it’s clearly impossible? You must be getting delirious.

Furthermore, you never had a teacher in the ancient martial art of energy manipulation. Its kind of passe. Once upon a time, the upper class, mostly overlapping with the warrior classes, ALL learnt the skill. They say it was some Dragon Orb Z shit, but it’s probably just fables. No, you just know how to sneak into places you don’t belong and use your sweet swords you mean hatchets.

>>600439
As for locating your targets: You suppose you don’t ACTUALLY know if the other princesses and princes are in here. You had assumed as much because this land has been claim to your extended family basically since the dawn of recorded history. They don’t have any known palaces or mansions anywhere else in the world? Surely kings live in grandiose houses.

stuff in bag and on person:
- some snacks you gathered from the wild: You've been putting off trying the berries and mushrooms.
-nature guides: one for things that move and one for things that don't move. The books are outdated and originally published many kilometers to the north.
-fresh undergarments
-a first aid kit you've already had a dive in. All that's left is a needle, suture thread, gauze, an some other odds and ends. Keropi abrasion stickers?
-some books to entertain yourself with if you get bored
-sweet gloves, bro
-an old fashioned water skin filled with rain water
-some salty shrimp chips and sweet round sugar crispie, gum by the foot, bees wax, a cooking knife
-some all purpose cotton string
-your hand written notes and maps concerning your journey
-a collectable plush which was forced on you
-the family ring, which you recently inherited

Well, you could try looking up the mushrooms and stuff in the nature guide. It's not for this area, but maybe they have a big enough range that they'll be included.

Food and Rest are probably our top priorities, depending on how tired / hungry you are. You either need a safe place to rest, or we need to search the area to see if you can find anything you know is safe to eat (assuming the mushrooms and roots and stuff aren't in the book, or known to you, you want to safe them as a last resort).

Magic mushroom time!

Most of the forest noms you found are in the book or look related to things in the book. But the guide is adamant that all suspicious mushrooms should be roasted prior to eating. You’re pretty sure this is bullshit advice because forests as a general rule are too humid to start fires in. As far as you know, anyway. You mean, you’ve been trying to start a fire for days with no progress. In fact, the whole reason this land is of value is its crazy high humidity.


Housetrapped? You mean PadSnaged? It is released in daily installments in most local newspapers. At the end of the six month margin, the installments are collected into trade paper backs. This is volume three, which compiles the last three and a half tpb. You don’t know what happens after this semi-omnibus because it’s fair to say you haven’t had access to any steady newspaper subscriptions lately. You are just glad your custodian isn’t around to police what media you have access to, anymore.

The maps are based off hearsay from the last local villagers you met before stepping off the highway into this frickin private-property-that-should-be-a-national-park. You’ve been adding to them ever since. There are some caves near by, maybe two hours walk, that you heard of. Then there’s a geological marvel called ‘table top mountain.’ You can see it from here if you climb a tree. Maybe four hours hike to the top. Other than that it seems to be a refreshingly endless sea of trees. Sometimes they are fern trees covered in moss and other times they are more like pine trees.

You have some hunches about where the estates of other princesses and maybe even some princes might be and you've been carefully skirting them.

>>600490
Any monsters in this forest?

Head to the table top. It could be a good way to spot some estates. What're you gonna do when you find them?

So are these other princes/princesses also trying to kill each other, or is it us against all of them as a group? And is our goal for going after them to take their positions or just to get revenge or such? (If the former, is that socially acceptable to do or will we need a cover story to explain why all our rivals suddenly died?)

>>600491
“Any monsters in this forest?” you ask yourself. You recall a story from your childhood. It is tl;dr and goes something like this:


There was once a forest that was full of trees but instead of growing in circles like most trees do and having texture and form and spiraling branches, these trees grew straight up and down. A path carved straight through the trees so straight that one could see light on the other side at the end of the path.

Near the trees that grew straight up and down lived a family with six children. One day, the youngest said, ‘I will walk straight through the forest that grows straight up and down, down the path that cuts straight through it.’ His first parent shook their head and said, ‘Do not go down that path alone.’ The boy said he would be fine and took down the path. The neighbors on the other side of the forest did not meet the boy and he was never heard from again.

Later, the second and third youngest children said to their second parent, ‘We will walk straight through the forest sideways and look past each other’s shoulders, on either side of each other until we find out little brother.’ The second parent shook their head and said, ‘Do not go down that path alone.’

‘We weren’t going to,’ said the second and third youngest children.

‘Then do not go unarmed,’ said the second parent. The children said they would be fine and took down the path together.

Though the second and third youngest children watched each other’s backs the whole time down the path, the neighbors on the other side of the forest never met the children and they were never heard from again.

Later, the oldest and second oldest and third oldest children said to their third parent, ‘We will walk straight through the forest each of us with a sword, a knife and a flame, until we find our little siblings.’ The third parent shook their head and said, ‘do not go down that path alone.’

‘We weren’t going to,’ said the first and second and third oldest children.
‘Then do not go unarmed,’ said the third parent.

‘We weren’t going to,’ said the first, second and third oldest children.

‘Then do not go down that path,’ said the third parent. The children said they would be fine and took down the path together and armed, each with a sword, a knife and a flame.
And though the children went straight down the path, watched each other’s backs and were armed each with a sword, a knife and a flame, the neighbors on the other side of the forest never met them and they were never heard from again.

Many years past and the three parents added a fourth to their group and in this new marriage produced a single child.

One day, the single child said to the fourth parent, ‘I will walk straight through the forest that grows straight up and down, down the path that cuts straight through it.’ The fourth parent shook their head and said, ‘Do not go down that path.’

There are lots of variations on this story and many forests are said to be THE ONE. There is also the story of The Nag. So similar are the stories, they are often combined.
You would sooner marry a commoner and denounce all right to the throne than go anywhere they say the Nag is.

When you meet another princess, she might attack you and take your place. As one of the queens’ illegitimate grandchildren, you are 15th in line for the throne and unlike many other princesses, you are not in line for any of the thrones to any nearby kingdoms. If you meet a prince, you will kill him and take his place. Everyone in line for the throne behind you will hitch up a notch and chaos will break loose as they all scramble to perhaps better their placements in line. As soon as one person reinstates the ancient tradition of Princess Usurption, murder will suddenly seem a lot less unacceptable. Princes may come after you or may hire cousins and half and quarter siblings to take care of you then promise the assassin grace in his court once he achieves it. Princes are generally lazier than princesses.

Also, you have reason to believe that you are not the first princess in five generations to re-instate the usurpation standard.

Compass makers hate this one simple trick: moss only grows on the north side of trees. Use this information to go in a northerly direction.

>>600502
What are those clusters in the family tree? How would you replace a prince?

>You’re pretty sure this is bullshit advice because forests as a general rule are too humid to start fires in.
Well, it can also be somewhat difficult to start a fire from first principles if you don't know what you're doing, as well. What method have you been using?

>>600491
Yeah, not a bad idea to survey the land. And heading that way should take you by the village, where you could get things like food or fire if you needed them.

That's a lot of people to murder. You're going to need some allies.

What skills do you have? Those dual hatchets imply that you have some skill in woodcutting.
You may as well start by honing your ability to chop branches, then chop a tree.

Remember, the greatest power royalty has is the ability to command others. You are currently alone. Show those you cross paths with that you have skills other than bossing people around, and many of them will respect you.

You try one last time to start a fire before heading North to Tabletop using the moss to guide you. You’ll need your energy if you’re going to tackle the climb. Frustratingly, You feel the top of the rock will be a better place to start a fire. But you’re not there yet. And you can’t make the trip until you start a fire. Which you can’t start until you’re at the top. ect.
You start by finding some old brush and shaving down to the dry part to make some kindling.
Then you bang some hard stuff together. Perfect sparks.
Blast. The same humidity that gives life also isn’t very conducive to creating the stability needed for civilization. Maybe you could use the ol’ ‘concentrate your life force onto one molecule until it splits’ trick. You also still have your string and beeswax and TY Dicbut Beenie Fobber.

Hey, while we’re on the topic of your life force, what is the psycho-tangible visual representation of it?
enter value = spectral color: 1 ≤ c ≤ 100, where 1=red, 50= green, 98=hot pink
enter value = wavelength = 1 ≤ w ≤ 100,
enter value = amplitude = 1 ≤ a ≤ 100
enter value = largest extension from core: 1 ≤ e ≤ ∞, where 1 = just past your skin,1000 = the size of the forest. If your wavelength and amplitude are both 100, your extension is probably as big as the biggest amphitheater you’ve ever seen
enter value = other notes:

alternatively, specify how powerful you think your life force is in general and how it manifests itself.

While we’re at it, are you even big and strong enough to make the hike? It’s pretty steep and rugged.
enter age value = 12 ≤ age ≤ 25

spectral color = 35
wavelength = 65
amplitude = 45
largest extension from core = 25

other notes:

Your mind is skewed from the revelations that completely shattered your past, and destroyed any trust you had in your previous beliefs and former guardians, yet did not break your psyche, only to leave it slowly mutating into something not worthy of a pure-hearted princess. Not that you have ever been a pure hearted princess (or anything less than a spoiled brat) since the age of 5, but still.

Theory: SOMETHING happened to you a long time ago, but the repercussions never registered in your head until a traumatic event that recently happened, connecting the dots. The end result is that your strong mind, while unbroken, has been deprived of the mental nutrients it needs to stay sane - the stories you learned as a child have dark origins, the family and friends you believed you could trust - and had to trust as a child - have now become threats to your well being and your ambitions, their thoughts completely alien to you. As a result, you are now hearing subconscious voices that now make up the brunt of your decision making analysis. Or that's what you tell yourself.

You have the ability to Force Sense everything within a small room's distance of yourself. Your weakness is that you can't analyze more than a few factors about the area around you (temperature, wind, density, electricity, humidity, life force, that's it) and you can't affect anything unless it is exrememely easier to just go up to it and influence it with your own body. Your analysis is measured in discrete intervals, which is bad; you have a sense of everything around you but have to concentrate on a small area to determine exactly how hot/windy/dense/jolting/humid/energized it is.

Also, for some reason, you can't analyze yourself. This is weird, but not unheard of.

;_; What the fuck, brain
Now is not the time to be pondering your abandonment issues. Okay, you can’t start a fire and you’re maybe a little developmentally delayed in the whole chakra aural projection department. Like the school nurse told you: it’s no big deal! Lots of people take longer to figure things out! That has nothing to do with this right here, right now. And this animalistic fetal position? Totally helps conserve body heat.

Fuck you, brain.

You are not spoiled and you are going to prove it by absolutely NOT returning to town again to have the hairdresser fix your hair. You are going to figure out the ‘roughin it’ thing yourself. You are going to realize the destiny that should have been your birthright SEVENTEEN YEARS ago.

value = spectral color: 35, lime green
value = wavelength: 40
value = amplitude: 45
value = largest extension from core: 25
value = other notes: kind of sparkly

Your aura is green. There’s nothing wrong with that. Old wives’ tales and folk songs and expressions mean nothing. You just HAPPEN to have questionable genetic patronage. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that children with green auras are bastards.
Your life force flows gracefully through you at almost perfect radial symmetry with a wave length almost matching the amplitude. One day, when you start making love, you will be known for being gentle yet encompassing. Giggidy.
Your largest extension is rated at 25, which the technician who visited your school when you were all getting tested said was excruciatingly high for a kid your age, size, and training level. When highly agitated and the frequency is turned on high, your aura should fill a medium-sized room. All part of being of royal descent~

You still have a bag of shrimp crispies and a roll of sugar disks to consume. You were saving them for an emergency, but things are getting dire. You might consider eating them on the way up the mountain or you could make camp right now. The sun is getting high in the sky and that makes you sleepy.

Store the food for now. Processed food is bad for your health, but has a long shelf-life and can energize you in an emergency. That's what junk food is meant for - when you're desperate and in a wasteland, the first thing you want to eat is the crud that is contained in processed with tested chemicals and hermetically-sealed packages, instead of the crud that is covered in mud and filled to the brim with untested chemicals.

Besides, most food tastes better when you're starving. Wait until your hunger can kill you, then eat the food.

Oh right, important note:

WARNING FROM YOUR PROFESSORS: MANY ANIMALS HAVE DISEASES AND PARASITES THAT WILL INFECT YOUR BODY IF THEIR FLESH IS NOT COOKED BEFORE EATEN. DO NOT EAT UNCOOKED AND UNPROCESSED FOOD UNLESS YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE FROM STARVATION AND CANNOT COOK OR PROCESS THE FOOD WITHOUT SIGNING YOUR DEATH WARRANT.

Basically, remember to roast the animals you hunt until their flesh turns white (or pink, but it's better to be sure). There are other methods to cooking, but you don't know those so just focus on hunting animals.

Finally, there may be laws against poaching. Ignore them: you are here to assassinate the local rulers. Laws don't apply to people who aren't a part of the civilization they pertain to. In effect, no civilization has the right to order the people who are not part of said civilization, only threaten or persuade. But don't kill any baby animals for fun - not for morality, but for the sake of your own sanity.

Eat and rest now. It's a bad idea to start a hike, close to dark, in bad a bad situation. Especially if there's the chance you might run into an enemy or competitor also trying to search from the high ground.

Well, whatever, aura isn't everything, buuut discrection is the better part of valor and there's more than one reason to rest during the day-when the sun is high that's when it's the hottest and our resources are at a premium. Let's get some rest first, shall we?

On the notes of hunting and food, if you have to cannibalize someone remember don't eat the brain. Lethal diseases can be gotten that way. An easy way to remember this is "zombies are stupid and calling them 'walkers' does not legitimize them in any way you damn hacks"

You say ‘fuck it.’ You’re a growing royaling with an over-sized life energy coursing through your veins. You eat the crispies and build a sort of structure from fern fronds and hit the hay. Or, in your case, the moss you rang all the water out of. As you lay down, your tummy starts to get upset. You attempt to pass out before the tummy ache starts hits full throttle. You will rise again in four hours when the sun begins its descent in earnest and you can see again.

Damn, the humidity in this place...

You marvel over this beautiful hand drawn ink concept art for these adorable Kentropan babies. There are so many you can barely decide which one to indulge your curiosities with. They each conceivably have a wide girth of possible ages, energy patterns, skills, personalities and family backgrounds.

It should be noted that Kentropa is a planet and not a country.

That is why we will not be learning any Kentropan dialects.

Alright, back to the new character: I would guess that character A is known for pragmatic and good with planning. She is likely one of the princesses / duchesses that roam the castles, and is the effective governor of her local fiefdom (if not the princess, then the person who does all the actual governing in that fiefdom). As for her normal mood or aura, I'm going to discard my vote on those. Not nice to judge someone you don't know.

She should be a major jock. Like, a total bro.

Hey, punk, get off that wall before you fall and kill yourself and take that ugly dog thing with you.
Your parents got around a lot as dumb kids and they did this ‘for you.’
How selfless of them.
You are vacationing at the estate of one who is related to one of your parents by marriage. Or maybe related to a parent’s mate by marriage? Or a sibling's mate? You aren’t too invested in the logistics. You might be 18th or 20th in line for the throne of Mossland. This place is called Mossland, right? Anyway, without genetic testing, you’ll never know for sure. And you don’t really care. You’re only 4th in line for the throne of A Different Kingdom.
You probably won’t get it though, since your parents dont likely want the same life for you that they had: arranged marriage after arranged marriage and a lot of math. You do understand that this is a game.
That’s no life. Too high on the tree and you’ve got unreal expectations of you. Too low and now one will care if someone assassinates you because they basically just pruned the tree back. Sometimes you think you could make your parents proud by running away to join the circus. Or a band. Or a theater troupe. Or a sports team.

But you’re having trouble deciding which club to go to.

-Then there’s one on a steam boat on the creek a few miles away. But it’s pretty far and you might have to call someone to give you a ride.
-Same goes for the club in town. But unlike the other two clubs, all the adults know about it and kick out everyone under 21 after midnight. And everyone under 18 gets kicked out before ten. Being 16.5, this would be a total raw deal.

As for the dog, you don’t know, man. He follows you everywhere. Actually, maybe it’s a she-dog. Its one of the animals in this world that gives live birth, right? You forget which of the language’s 50-plus common-use pronouns you use for intelligent animals who have already given birth.

...Really?

*sigh* Prinshades Punkulio, please go to a fast-food restaurant or some other chain-restaurant. Bring the dog and the kid, buy some food, go home. You may be cool enough for the clubs, but today is too bright and sunny for anyone to be cool - too many hipsters dancing in the clubs.

Why not just hang out at a food store, buy some munchies, and play some games? You can still be cool and not go to a club today.

Also, serial killers can hide behind hordes of hipsters.

You shimmy down the wall and through your family’s property down to a foot trail. Nobles and highclass commoners all have vacation homes here. It’s not exactly legal, seeing how only people who can prove this is their ancestral homeland can live here, but when money makes the rules it kind of IS legal.

You turn around after a few minutes and see the dog. The method you have chosen insured you would not have your lil sib tagging along tonight, which you are glad of because you would lose a fair bit of respect for yourself if they saw you trading drugs with people. And also you would not be able to get absolutely shitfaced if you were having to look out for them. This was, of course, your parents’ plan all along.

>>601055

Their backup plan was to raise you with a sense of fear of the world to keep you out of any and all trouble. You ignore the little voice in your head warning you of the dangers of clubs and the safety of PunKonalds. You can’t go to PunKonalds anymore. When the teller slides your card and sees your fancy duds, they always recognize you. Your older sibling is the mascot and poster child of PunKonalds and you look just like them when they were still cute and marketable. The store might even try to give you free food. The mayor might show up and try to give you a tour of this podunk town. All of this is the exact opposite of what you want to do, tonight. And if you brought the sib, the attention would ruin them.

The mountain is farther away than it looks and you’re not exactly sure where the cave club is. You close your eyes and try to ‘force’ sense if there’s anybody out there. Energy travels like sound through a long metal pole. The sound you hear on the other end is just the particles in the pole moving in a mirror of the original sound. You’re pretty good at this. And you have the numbers to back it up.

You have the chipacity of a man many times your age and training level. You HAVE had training and it has strengthened your abilities, but you have to admit, most of it is in-born talent. When the technician came to your school to test everyone and you were sitting in the little chair next to his machine, he left the room. You sat there for twenty minutes before the dean and head of your school sectional came in and escorted you out of the building.

You’re a freak, Prinsahdes. As much a freak as those who are descendants of the calamity that was The Great Octopode War, in which the warriors of old must have got their freak on with the b’tentacled beasts who threatened your people’s freedom. But at least you don’t erect tendrils of meat schlong from your body when aroused. If you did, you would probably wind up in one of those special ‘group homes’ they tend to stuff those body-horror abominations in.

Okay, you’re not that much of a freak. You’re just a fucking prince. Almost everyone in the world’s prince.

You consider letting everyone in this forrest know you’re here and gaining instant fake friends with free food. But the whole point of this vacay is to get away from the notoriety for a while. ?

Oh shit. You sense him. That fucking green-auraed bastard who keeps trying to force their resting projection color all the way around into hot pink: the most emo of all colors. Ain’t no one deserves to be THAT emo. He thinks he’s being sly, just outside your family’s estate. He thinks he’s hot shit. God, you hate this guy.

Don't bother with fake friends. But do go deal with the poser outside your house. Catch em by surprise!

Ice that fool.

Ouch.

Your school expelled you for having Octopode ancestors? That seems hypocritical, considering the following logic:

1. You are a prince. They can expel you by right of birth? Wait, even if the school is under the jurisdiction of a higher-ranked royalty than you, doesn't being rejected by birthright, despite being royalty, contradict the concept of divine right?
2. According to the tests, you have both royalty and Octopode ancestors. So, one of your ancestors was part Octopode? Doesn't that mean they would have been tested and disgraced before you? Why did your parents not know about this?! Theory: the reason why the royal family has such a high aptitude in life force is because they bred with Octopodes. Wouldn't have to be consensual; war turns people into sociopaths. High and/or low functioning sociopaths. Or alternating.
3. It's possible that someone ranked higher than you on the royal family wanted you out of the way. Possibly so that you wouldn't assassinate them all awesome and stealthy-like.

As for the green-aura agent? Look, your dog is still nearby, right? Send in the dog. He's a scouter, not a warrior. Ugly-cuteness is such a low-profile appearance.

All that… kind of makes sense..? Why your parents have held off on having your royal blood tested when your claim to the throne is in dispute, that uncle you’ve never met, why your older sibling died. Maybe also how adamant they are that you are not ready for sex? If you’ve ever realized these conveniently-fitting coincidences before, you must have mastered the art of pushing thoughts to the recesses of your mind. Besides, additive reasoning puts innocent men in jail. Distill the impossible to find the improbable and that will be your truth.

Anyway, you’d sooner kill yourself than be one of those barely-kento freaks in the ‘group homes.’ But not before killing this no good motherfucking trespasser, first. You mean, ‘you’re just going to talk to him.’

You’re having trouble zeroing in on the bastard. You sic your dog to- wait a minute.

Where’d the bitch go? You’d call her but she doesn't even have a name!

WAIT that was it! The pronoun for animals that have given birth is ‘bitch’! You knew you’d remember it eventually. But you can’t just call a dog ‘bitch.’

Oh, of course.

The sweet young thang seems to have taken issue with the dog. You may have bitten off more than you can chew, here.

RUN!!!

If you have any snacks, THROW THEM!

Use persuasion while screaming about how you have a stash of food! Do NOT explain how rich you are, that might just make her HUNGRIER!

Keep running, find the nearest civilized house, and scream at the top of your lungs while attempting to get inside!

Use substitution so she only ends up attacking a log with a single leaf on it.

Flee! Try to negotiate while running away

Huh. Are you armed? If not, you have a problem, because that person is attacking you with weapons.

Meaning you need a means to fight back or flee. Unless you can dodge swords, or you can do something cool with your freaky octopus aura powers, I think that means you need to beat an undignified retreat.

Orange Aura Fox Spirit Child, or as it was dubbed in your country, Naranjato, is not only based off a real religious sect, but the person that religion is based off of is your instructor. The manga is in its 21st year of syndication.

Ah, but you managed to daze them a bit and they miss your shoulder by a millisecond. Looks like they meant to chop your broach in half or something.

Call them an emo fag. Hot pink auras are for emo fags.

Also draw your weapon- you have one, right?

You and your dog may die if you don't just run to your house, which is within running distance.

Right now, please run away. If you kill her, it might give the neighborhood an excuse to go all witch-hunter on your mad skills and have you arrested for killing someone with Octopode powers. Your little sibling could be ruined for life if they are associated with a wizard who uses Octopode powers, royal status be damned.

Bigots they are, but bigots you choose to live with. In luxury. ARE YOU WILLING TO THROW ALL THAT AWAY, YOUR LIFE, YOUR SIBLING, YOUR DOG, SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONE DESPERATE BATTLE WITH A DESPERATE STARVING WRETCH?!

And does she deserve to die?

Take off your shades and bat your eyes like the bishie god you are. She'll realize she loves you and stop attacking.
Also kick sand in her face or something.

Forget all this octopode nonsense and fight to the death.

This is why you never underestimate your opponent. Always assume they're at least competent, then you can be pleasantly surprised when they aren't. If you assume they're not, you're going to have to deal with unpleasant surprises instead.

Logically, you know you should run, but every instinct is telling you to fight back and struggle against her (your instincts are also telling you to call her ‘her.’) It is against your people’s nature to turn tail and run, particularly because the tail is so easy to grab. Some people are born predisposed to grow self-honing, razor-like edges to their tail scales which might discourage a predator. But you were not one of these people.

You came down this path with a buddy to watch your back, but you were not armed. Your body(‘s life energy potential) is supposed to be your weapon. But this dirty hobo is a lot faster and maybe even stronger than you, despite her obvious lost-ten-pounds-in-the-past-month look. You notice she is not wearing shoes. Maybe you caught her unawares and she didn’t have time to slip them on.

You ready another blast of the purple stuff and prepare to put some distance between you and her, but before you can unleash it or take a step back, she hooks the blade’s curve around you. Not like you could run very good, anyway, with this dumb dog between your ankles. You are screwed.

There are still four more unexplored branches of this ridiculous tirade on gender and social class! One notices that choices 'c' and 'd' are now linked. What could that entail?

One could also chose to be the dog and grow a pair. Being a pure bred show dog, though, this would give the dog two pairs. Except that it is probably not an earth dog and 'a pair' basically means nothing.

You weren't scared. You were just appalled that some kind of catpig ate your only meat for a minute there. But it seems more shrews were drawn in by the same scent and promise of food as the catpig. And also maybe your body heat? Whatever you can get more, you guess. Still can't cook them though, so why bother. It’s also a good thing the catpig woke you up when it did. Shrews are ravenous and occasionally hunt in packs. After the devoured the rest of your food reserves, they might have come after you. It also seems you overslept, too. Seems you owe the dog a favor.

You bend down to give the catpig a hearty belly rub, since it is so adamant that you are friends, now, and you aren’t hungry enough to waste the meat of something that is probably someone’s pet. But just as you're about to inspect it to see if it’s given birth before or not and determine the proper pronoun to use, you sense some residual energy from some other entity piping off it: probably the thing’s master(s). You perk your astral ear. It sounds like the same energy that drew you to this place. It may be the royal family of the estate hidden around here. You won't be able to take them all at once, so you better wait till one separates from the group. It is weird how they all sound like they have the same energy pattern and like they are all bundled up in one group like fags for the fire.

You listen more carefully. Wait, wait. If you focus, you can almost hear the broadcasters’ thoughts. . .

You sense emotions so strong they can be articulated into spoken word. Who ever it is already knows you’re here and is highly intent on kicking your ass to within an inch of your life and maybe finishing you off.

For some reason, you feel a sense of betrayal, as though these dirty names were spoken by people about YOU behind your back and as though those people were previously your allies..

The dog knows too much. You brandish a hatchet..

Wait, are those emotions directed at you? That sounds more like someone who's already found an intruder, than someone coming to get one.

Also, killing their pet would probably just enrage them further. ...it might have use as a hostage, though?

Shades on, blades out, time to aggro.

You're probably being manipulated, and I would hold off on that hatchet.

"WE'RE SORRY, OKAY?!" Say the voices in your head. "But we needed to redirect the flow of your enemies' minds without them realizing that they were being slowly manipulated!"

In all honesty though, you can't keep denying what YOU think of yourself - you need to improve who you are and express what you do instead of constantly accusing others of labeling who you aren't. Even if they are just voices in your head. Which they may not be, considering the strange coincidences around you.

As it scurries out through the underbrush to the open path below your camp, it noisily leads you right to one of the members of the party you felt. Probably out here taking a picnic in the balmy evening* when they caught scent of your low-status presence and took issue.

You don’t see any sign of his family, but you do catch the glint of his house broach. Its unclear if he’s a prince or a princess, but he seems to be unarmed, despite his obvious intent to harm you. He’s probably a princess come to usurp you. Ha. He has underestimated his rivals.

You launch out over the ledge through the trees before he can spot you, aiming for the broach. Some people use a special ancient hand-me-down to help focus their life force hoo doo. Breaking it would perhaps hinder his abilities - hold up. ALL that fuggin, like, orgone was coming from just this one guy?! Dang, maybe you should have taken the time to put your shoes back on.

You may be in over your head.

Look at his face. He's scared. You look like a crazed hillbilly with a hatchet and hunger for orgone-smelling meat.

Do you know if he's a prince or not? Does HE?

Knock him out while he's paralyzed with indecision and/or fear. If you kill him on a whim, others will be less likely to join your ambitious cause.

If he runs, you have been spotted. Chasing him into civilization is a horrible idea - they will arrest you for trespassing into a city with intent to do lasting harm and/or homicide.

You had intended to slice him in half until you started to have doubts concerning the validity of this target.

Make it up to him w/sexytime.

>>603746
Fuck. Um, like, smooth out his hair and put his garments back in order?

Then pout and tell him you're not an emo poser.

"Urgh. And suddenly that numbers game becomes much less fun."
Back off, let him up/assist him if he doesn't mind overmuch, make any formal apologies that can be made and get going.

Right. So... Then it's in my best interest not to murder you, and it's in your best interest to agree to let this go so I don't have to murder you, right?

We need to trick him into being our ally. Pretend to fawn over his amazing sunglasses.

Okay... yeah. Um. Well. You.

Look, can you just call princes "bastards" and princesses "bitches"? If you're going to insult other royalty, you may as well drop all pretense of society while you're pinning down an enemy prince with two hatchets and your knee.

First thing on your agenda:
"What's with your fucked-up aura?"

Might explain what a high-ranked prince from Ramshead is doing in the middle of Nowhere, Mossland. Think about it: he's fourth in line for Ramshead. Where's his squad of personal bodyguards? Where's his backup crew of hipsters and groupie girls? Maybe he's dishonored, and you can do whatever you want with him.

You may not want to kill him. Having an ally royalty aiming for a different throne may be a great idea. You can cross-reference intel from two different countries and fuck around in the ambassador offices.

“RRrriiiight.”
You fear grin majestically as you dislodge your knee from his squish bits. As you untangle your hand from his hair you attempt to straighten it, but it seems he put some kind of product in it and it’s basically screwed for the day. You notice he really is alone (save for the dog who has returned to his flank), or someone would have heard the struggle.
“Um, um, well- where’s your, like, entourage?”

“Entourage? Oh. I’m incognito.”

“Uhh.. Okay. Wow. But like, why’d you want to kill me? YOU don’t belong here, either, Prince- ?”

“Shades. Prinshades…”

“Well, look, um, about all this, haha, is there anything I can do to make it up to you,” you say politely, not actually meaning it and hoping he’ll forget the whole silly thing.

“I want you to take me to the hospital.”
Looks like what ever plans he had for this evening are ruined.

>>603969
Welp. Time to move. You fucked up, better try to fix things.

Save him! Take him to the nearest medical center, and make up a story along the way.

Okay, he's a high-ranked prince from a different country. That means people in the local town are (a) unlikely to know who he is or (b) like having him as a celebrity. Get him to the hospital but be ready to break off and let him do the rest of the walking if you are spotted, or cannot keep a low profile.

Discuss details of your new "alliance" on the way. The fact that you can kill him at any time before you get to civilization should hold an advantage in intimidation.

1. "What is with that fucked up aura of yours? I got this sense of 'betrayal'. Like super-fucked-up betrayal; the kind where the voices in your head start broadcasting how much they hate you on someone else's aura. Seriously, are all Ramshead royals this fucked up?"
-> You can say this because right now, if he insults you, he knows you could just impulsively murder him and his ugly-cute dog. He'll likely explain what is up with his aura. Respond politely and curiously.
2. "So, do you live here or something?"
-> This is a VERY important question. What is Prinshades doing all the way here in Fucked Up Forest, Mossland? If he has a minor fortress or summer home in the local city, it means he has some influence over its people. Even if that influence is being a [REDACTED].
3. "So, here I am, saving your life after dealing a life-threatening wound, dragging you back to civilization, where they could have me arrested for assault, attempted murder, and regicide. Whereas you could do the same and be promoted as a hero and a role model for kids everywhere. But that's politics, right? Actually, that's pretty much the world in a nutshell."
-> Make a joke of your current situation. You fucked up, but you didn't mean to fuck up. Help him realize that your impulse was based on cultural values and personal ambition, and not some lack of self-control.
4. "So, could I crash in your backyard or something?"
-> You need a place to stay. But you know you need better survival skills. If you ally with Prinshades, you can hone your skills in the local woods, with a contact to give you supplies and shelter when necessary. He needs bodyguards, you need supplies. If you're both planning on killing your way to the top, it's not insane to collaborate to the end if you can both reach your mutually beneficial goals at the same time.
5. "Cute dog. So, where did you find him?"
-> You may as well ask about the dog, direct the conversation away from all the seriousness after the top 4 points have been discussed.

>ask about his aura

Don’t you think it would be inappropriate to ask him why his dick is so big, right now? You know that’s what that is, right? You fuck with it. It’s big because bitches need the D. Mystery solved. Any animal with a twenty foot long venomous spike for a dick would evolve to also use it as a weapon and a nest for its young, to boot, case closed.

Looks like he’s passing out. Maybe you could just leave him here, in the ditch on the side of the road, and hope someone else will come by and pick him up. He might bleed out by then but at least there will be no witnesses. He’s kind of fat. You know you can’t carry him to the nearest hospital in time and you don’t even know where one is.

Or! Maybe he has interest in usurping the throne with you. You could perhaps work your way up to 4th in line and be even with him and- well, then who knows! He could be a powerful ally, if he ever gets his dick to work again!

Their race reproduces via their auras. So it's the same thing, actually.

He’s too heavy and its too far to carry him into town and you don’t know if there’s any doctors around or where they are and the powers that be have not deemed you deserving of a magical ride to take you anywhere, so you start to drag the fat lazy prince back to your hideout to patch him up. It is then and only then that his hitherto wimp of a dog starts half-heartedly trying to defend him by at least barking at you.

He’s either passing out from blood loss and shock or from unleashing so much energy at you at once. You’re feeling a little floppy headed from the blow he glanced off you. You wonder if his name is Glance. As you drag him around by the arm pits, you can’t help but notice that he’s still got plenty of juice left.

You fall the fuck down all over your victim and the dog tries to drag you away a bit before letting go. It returns to bark in your ear in a threat display.

Suddenly, are not from the green seas and marshes of Mossland. Nor do you hail from the dry and tall plains and rocks of Ramshead. The village you live in is a very important village in that it houses a very important clan. One of 789 official clans, to be specific and proper. And those clans have faced much more strife in recent years than many other places in this world. Almost all of it internally propagated. Almost.

And as an indirect result, you could only pick five of your favorite outfits to bring with you on this journey.

Please list the five outfits in order of FAVORITE TO LEAST FAVORITE, making notes on why they trumped the competition.

H is our favorite outfit for warring and other martial pursuits. It's also cool-looking.

A is our favorite formal wear outfit. Being for formal occasions, it is less preferred than the warring outfit that is H.

E is our favorite casual wear outfit. Although only third favorite, it is the strongest canidate for our 'default' outfit. If only because one can only partake of combat and special occasions for so long.

B is the fourth favorite-it's basically for wooing/attracting others since we apparently look very pretty in it. nevermind that the outfit clashes with our aura color.

L is the least favorite. We were in a hurry and was preoccupied when we took it.

Let's go E. If not, A.

Then N, K, I

You finish the Glancing Prince’s stitches just as you loose the last of the light. You had to snag some of your string around a tree and the dog in order to get to the prince and even then you felt the need to have him blind fold the animal with your ruined sock to shut it up. Blind fold dog, snag dog, tie to tree. These were the actions you should have taken, probably.

You then discovered you only had enough stitches string and gauze for one person. So you gave the other prince the stitches and yourself the gauze. You two really need a hospital, or at least a well stocked private doctor’s office. After you fed him all your sugar disks and dandy linons, he insisted on ingesting your suspicious mushrooms. Raw! He then passed out 100%, but not before you had him use what was left of his purple magic to dragon-orb-z you up some fire. You never even got the chance to ask him his name. You didn’t think of making small talk while using your filthy hands to poke holes in his back skin.
It is now totally dark out. You don’t know what to do.

Find where the prince came from and get help before infection sets in in your dog bite? Or just go to sleep after eating some roast shrew. You are too tired to freak out but you want to freak out and are too damn antsy.

>>605080
He's stable, you aren't. Go.

Go get help! Bring doge with you!

I know the dog is as ugly as hell but he's so ugly he's kinda cute.

You didn't chop off his tail, did you?

Get him to a hospital. The longer an infection exists, the more fucked Prinshades is. You can recover from a few sleepless nights, but Prinshades might not forgive you if his butt has to be amputated.

After all, if the past four hours are any indication, not many people hunt in the forest. There aren't even that many animals! Just freaking shrew colonies. Risk getting ambushed and get Prinshades medical help before his tail has to be amputated and/or discarded and he rejects any possible alliance.

Shrew colonies are no laughing matter, umkay? Unlike most animals, they are almost always constantly alert and awake in order to satiate their bottomless appetites. True, though, that the forest seems to be picked clean save for the carnivorous, spindly ratlike creatures. Huh. Guess the Hunting Class swept through here. Or maybe the animals can sense you are an apex predator.

You found it, Dickass.
Sorry, ‘Dumbass’.

This must be the place. They don’t seem to have risen any kind of alarm. Perhaps they are not missing their Prince, yet. The wall goes all the way around and out of sight and seems to be ten or fifteen feet tall. There’s a well lit path leading to a wooden gate. Usually these kinds of places have a second smaller gate near the larger one for maintenance staff.

Didn’t Glances say something about being in line for the same throne as you? It’s possible some of your closer relatives are in here. You can see cottages inside the centuries-old wall, dwarfed by that garrish new development to the right. You are judging them. You’re all turned around and can’t see Table Rock from here?? The estate must cover several acres.

>>605461
Almost all life is capable of rage, cowardice, and deceit. So before you try to increase your reputation as a usurper by protecting the forests, please remember that male lions usurp other lion tribes by murdering the leaders and killing their cubs, maggots and other parasites swarm in all kinds of animals and infest other animals as they are eaten (in organ biology, weak eats you), and life itself constantly mates and dies because the cycle lengthens the existence of the genes instead of the individuals. Still, there's a hidden cost in cutting up forests and constructing slaughterhouses; pollution, migration patterns, land quality over time. Maybe the world is cruel and by burning down a forest full of rabid killer machines, you're just incurring a debt of cruelty on the local peoples?
But that's for later.

>>605464
Right now, the kid's bleeding out. You need to get him to a hospital as soon as possible. If these people know him, then they'll be angry about seeing their celebrity chopped up and in critical condition. However, they'll also realize that if you know him, you wouldn't be stupid enough to just go through the front gates with him as a hostage after trying to murder him.

Find a guard, tell him that you accidentally hurt the prince while you were hunting down some food, and that he'll vouch for you if you can save his life right now. If they get suspicious, try to wake up the kid so that he can explain that he needs help. If they don't know who he is or if he isn't really a prince, then it's still their job to protect citizens (and possibly other people) and he should get medical attention.

If you sneak in and get caught, the guards are likely going to think that you performed an assassination for someone else and were carrying him back to his house to loot his stuff and obfuscate the assassination. This is a VERY bad idea and it won't get you directions to the nearest doctor.

>>605464
Do you know anything about this place? Are they gonna get all pissy at you for roughing that guy up?
Because that would prooobably be bad.

You were going to throw a rock somewhere further along the wall these rent-a-cops are patrolling to send them looking for the origin of the small noise... But the guards seem to have distracted themselves. You’re a little disappointed, both in that you didn’t get to outsmart them and the fact that they are being so unprofessional. They are still armed, however. Wow the short one’s got disproportionately large feet.

>Just walk up and tell a guard that you totally accidentally hurt the prince
Wait, there’s no reason to be scared of them. It was an accident! (No it wasn’t)
And you’re a Nobel in this land! It might be pretty funny to see their reactions with you catch them mackin on each other while on duty.

As you come nearer, you overhear them murmuring about how much easier this job is when little boy blue’s not around.
Well, well, well. The extent of their dereliction is down right deplorable.

Just sneak past them then and roll the Prince down the hill to the emergency room.

Tell the guards about Prinshades. We must save the coolkid!

>>606406
By prince, do you mean the dog? Because we do not have the prince with us.

>>606405
It totally was an accident though. He fell backwards onto your sword, and you didn't even realize you had cut him until the dog showed up with that bloody mouth. Don't uh, tell them that story though. Just say you met, got to know eachother a bit, and were sparring with him when the accident happened.

What.
Are.
You.
Waiting.
For.

Tell them you were hunting and accidentally injured a prince. A REALLY high ranking prince. For a FOREIGN KINGDOM (specifically, fourth in line to Ramshead, perhaps they know him?). You both need medical attention right now. If they accuse you of assault and react by declaring your life forfeit, tell them that you're 15th in line (for Mossland) and that THEY don't have any excuse for regicide.

If they ask, tell them that the prince has a strangely wonky life force (WILL YOU TWO GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE @#$%ING GUTTERS?!) and you attacked him, thinking that HE was stalking and hunting YOU for sport. If they get suspicious, just yell at them that they can sort this out over at the nearest hospital or clinic and that THEY REALLY SHOULD BE DOING THEIR JOBS RIGHT NOW! PRINCE IN DANGER, START GUARDING OR TURN IN YOUR BADGES!!!

>Make sure you don't have incriminating stuff with you first tho.

They noticed.
“SO yeah, uh, maybe go check on him!...?” Avoid eyecontact. You are really bad at being dishonest.

The one with big feet gets up to apprehend you, like this is the most amusing thing that’s happened in a while. The tall one tries to settle down the dog, only a slightly bemused smirk on their face.

*cough* *cough* *wheeze* *cough* *cough* Man that hurt... sorry, connection issues.

Look, they're obviously not buying your story and they probably think you're trying to frame them for killing him. Show how much responsibility and reward/punishment is at stake here.

I don't like how you can use your royalty as some kind of "get out of pwnage free" card, but right now, that prince is DYING.

Tell them you're 15th in line, you fucked up and want to fix this, the prince will vouch for you, and THERE IS SOMEONE IMPORTANT BLEEDING OUT WITHIN TWENTY FEET OF YOUR LAZY ASSES, PLEASE SAVE HIS BUTT OR HE WILL SUE YOU AND YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING FOR BEING INCOMPETENT WHEN HIS ASS IS AT STAKE.

Bend your knees and put your hands over your head, just to claim that this is THEIR responsibility, not yours. Either they do their duty, and get rich, or they spend weeks trying to come up with excuses for failing to get the prince medical attention WHEN THEY RECOGNIZED HIS DOG BEGGING FOR HELP.

Lets check up on Prinshades Glancer Lollerblades Julio Punkulio back in the woods.

You’re not sure if it is because you are higher than a hummingbird huffing helium or what, but this publication is the funniest goddamn thing you have ever read.

You think you’ve heard of this story. In your country, it is officially translated as ‘Casa Cornered’ but by word of mouth in the underground goods trades you frequent, you’ve only ever heard it called ‘Dwelling Static.’ It is one of the most heavily banned series in the world and its notoriety follows it up into space and to other worlds, too. In most countries, it is scorned for its positive portrayals of dangerous enemy aliens: your people’s hypocritical xenophobia at work. In other places, it is contrabanned on account of its inclusivity extended towards people with disabilities. And yet, to more contrarian countries, the author’s entire body of work is reviled for not not being inclusive enough.

The other book had no pictures and psychedelics are a lot more fun when you’re actually looking at visuals. It was about a young person being pit against several other young people in the woods. It was a pretty thinly veiled allusion to some adult activities, you think, what with all the attractive, able-bodied young people in sizable but manageable groups, living alone in the woods and drawing each other’s blood. Erotica. Erotica for kids who don’t know what erotica is. Pass.

Anyway, you could have never hoped to get your hands on a copy of any volume of Pad Pegged and everything Striker has done to you is forgiven if she will let you borrow this tome.

Meanwhile, back at Prinshades Punkulio’s family’s estate, it seems Glimmerstrike’s quest has come to a stand-still. Your motives struck the caregivers of this estate as less-than-selfless. They were good enough to have your wounds treated and offer you some facilities to get cleaned up (under close guard), though. They then escorted you to a guest room, where it was heavily implied you should not try to open the door. The room was clearly designed for a child half your age. They took your hatchet and there are bars on the window, probably to keep would-be kidnappers out. But right now, they serve the purpose of keeping you in. You shall have an audience with the Masters of the house when they rise in the morning. This is, after all, their vacation. They might however decide to let you walk free or just call the authorities.

You are an assassin.

Where you are from, everything is either black or white. The snow is white, the trees are black, and they grow straight up and down and have no growth rings when you cut them open. A person is either a good person or an evil person. And there’s nothing wrong with being evil. What your culture abhors is anything in the gray area. Half in shadow, semitransparent, being in jail instead of being dead. Only a real fruit tart would place opaque materials over any part of their body, especially the eyes. It is more common to wear a blindfold and pretend you can’t see through it if you don’t want your eyes to be seen.

The other travelers on this bus have been trying much too hard not to stare at you. You would gladly try to answer their questions if they just asked. Or they could try to guess your name. This is a boring bus ride.

>Answer questions
>Do something
>Both
>Arrive at destination, skip q&a

Okay... why not first question your sanity since you can apparently feel someone talking about you right now? Maybe someone is trying to get into your head, corrupt your mind with half-truths and half-hearted opinions.

If not, whatever. Practice using those toys that are actually portable assassin training machines. Not that they can effectively kill anyone, but they're good at keeping the mind sharp on the road.

Your name is Skiff Chazrock

Five thousand years ago when your foremothers set foot on this new world, legend has it, it was agreed among all the newly burgeoning colonies that they would never allow their economies to become dependent on consumerism and over-production. Having spent One Thousand Years living in the harsh confines of space arks with no natural resources at their disposal, this was an easy promise to keep to themselves and to their children.

Besides, the planet, which to this day is called ‘Close Enough,’ ‘Good Enough,’ or ‘Practically as Good as The Real Thing,’* severely lacks in resources like heavy metal and petroleum, anyway. The level of your society’s technology is such that only these materials can be used to make ‘video games.’ Other worlds use bio-tech to manufacture them, but obtaining a personal hand-held system of that sort would pose even further difficulties. Only the highest of the high class can afford personal computers for themselves and much less their children.


[*Ken= us, our stuff we were born with, our people, my blood family,
Kentro= of ours, belongs to us all right now, the home, yours and mine, my family’s
Kentropa= Kentatopia with less letters

Kentatopia = Motherland, the legendary title of the old World, 'it was this way,' 'it was the way it was,' 'we were the way we were'

fun fact: if you conjugate ‘ken’ into the past tense, it either means ‘stuff that existed before I was born’ OR ‘I got robbed’! ]

P.S. you totally have one. You’re holding it right now, the hand held video game console, this is what you hold. The people on the bus can see it.

Your favorite game right now is a rom hack called ‘150 drags.’ It is based off the time-honored, ancient tradition of miniature dragon collecting. Only the richest of the rich and those willing to do whatever it takes to get even one dragon can achieve one, but the object of the hobby is to obtain many varieties.

P.S. there’s one sitting right next to you.

But the video game version is good, too. It is based off the card game which is a spin off of the comic which borrows from the novel which is an homage to a play which is derivative of a much OLDER novel which is in turn a curation of folk stories that are believed to be thousands of years old.

You have so many dragons? OK? But you could only bring one and that was only after a lot of bribing at every customs office you met.

I see you like to play video games despite the fact that you have better things to do. Welcome to the club.

Understandable. That game console is worth a fortune, just like your pet. Recommended action: train your dragon using the video game.

Pets can watch video games, ya know.

But in all seriousness, does that video game console have "apps"? Apps are small programs that - well, some are games and some are tools.

The public apps are "free" - free to anyone who can afford a video game system! A glorious twist of anti-consumerism! But the real deal is in finding apps that have been banned, or apps that were never introduced to the networks.

I'm sure that you have some. An app or two that was built by a guy who was a genius but stepped on too many pet dragons and was executed for his incompetence. Apps that turn your video game console into a powerful weapon, or a handy survival tool!

Well? Aren't you going to gloat over everyone around you about how many "UNIQ APPS" you have on your already-expensive video game console?

>>608049
Nah, you don't gloat about it. Just having it where everyone can see it is enough, To do more would be trying too hard.
Hrrrm...Here's a question: If someone got any bright ideas concerning robbing you, how would you kill them?

Play your games. Accumulate more dragons. Casually display your wealth and status.

But bro. BRO. It has like ten buttons and you gotta use ‘em ALL! You don’t know this, but it WAS designed to train soldiers enlisted into the space corps. It is the rough size, motor complexity and shape of many space ship consoles and certain kinds of high tech weaponry.

But, you don’t know that. You didn’t even know this planet had any kind of space program. You don’t even know that Kentropa is in the midst of a fifty year cold war with a far superior galactic empire. If the people of this world knew, they would all bend over, shit piss and vomit shit and piss vomit out of sheer rage, the old time blood lust they were once heir to reemerging like a shite phoenix covered in vomit and screaming about piss and probably anal prolapse for good measure.

Does this bus have food? Call for some service, or trade food with other passengers. They likely have food for pet dragons, because pet dragons frequently dying on buses would likely result in enough lawsuits to sink the bus union twenty times over.

So, how did your family stake it rich in a non-consumerism environment? What plots worked to help them stomp their way to the top of the food chain and stay there.

It’s a basic learnable skill like anyone can pick up.

That having been said, you really want your work to stand out against your business competitors, but not so much it isn’t still marketable. Clients are looking for a certain classic style: they don’t want your personal flare to show too much and you certainly can’t leave any sort of trade mark other than the kind other professionals will pick up on. Clients just want the job done in such a way that it looks very organic and natural! They may then recommend you by word of mouth.

Your family is part of- no, IS the entirety of a very high-end firm. You only trade in this one service, unlike other companies who also trade in goods, commodities and corporate espionage. That’s what makes you the best!

>let's go over what you're supposed to be doing here


Officially you are here to attend the ball of one Prince Who-Will-Probably-Not-Be-King. The creature is of age and yet has no recognized life partners. Your story is that you are the youngest of many dead children and your dying nation’s last hope for rejuvenation is to create ties overseas, thus. She’s not bad looking. They say she (she? sorry you’re not sure how this country assigns linguistic pronouns. Aura color you think? Number of Mothers? Number of total parents? Adult Height? YDK.) rejects her society’s customs, primarily the wearing of eye coverings. 8/10, would smooch.

But unofficially you are here to uncover if anyone in this kingdom knows who (or if someone here) is responsible for the recent turmoil in your country. Double unofficially if you locate such a person or persons, you are to remove them. Permanently. Then, make a hasty retreat to your home land to marry your actual suitors and succeed your mother to clan boss. You
..
You miss your mother.

Your side task, if you have time, is to study this land’s orgonal martial arts from its one and only living master. There are a lot of stories about them. They sound 90% fake, but stranger things have happened. Oh and also bring back living specimens of any undiscovered lap dragon breeds you find.

You will be disappointed when you find out this country only breeds hobby riding dragons.

>>609158
Okay. Recall the route to the Ball. When you get off the bus, find a map of the surrounding area and look for a dragon breeder or shop for supplies. Also, find a cozy room.

Did your clan give you permission to take mercenary commissions for the duration of this mission? If so, you may want to take on some "art requests". Not for the money, but for the reputation - pretend that you're willing to work "Dwelling-Static" grade landscapes (for these aura-sensitive "critics", do you think you'll have colors other than red, pink, and brown to work with?) for chump change; that should get the Prince's attention.

As for the famous martial artist, you may want to learn from the local punks before you prove worthy of the local masters, and then go looking around for this urban legend. Don't waste all of your Ball time chasing shadows, though.

Oh, and look around for a new "playmate" for your pet dragon. You like hatching dragon eggs, right?

>>609158
So you looking to get your smoochings on with this Prince? You sound interested.

Who's responsible for the turmoil in your country? A group? Some shadow organization? A dick with a really big grudge?

What kinda stories are we talking here about this martial arts person?

Go seduce the prince

This bab here is your number one fan and has the right idea. Nice, normal, pure white aura. You can still see the spikes in it, but it takes a while to learn to control that.

>Who started the war?

you don’t know, but here’s the deets.
In your nation, the borders are formed not by physical landmarks but by allegiances to different chieftains. Its like this:

Immediate Family < clan < tribe < nation < state

Things don’t usually start getting political until you get to the state level, which goes on like this with a bit of overlap in the lower rungs:

families < township < fiefdom < province < state < country

There is a strong sense of impermanence which demands the law take a back seat to how governance takes place on a local level and that was how the people liked it for as long as anyone could remember. If you have a problem with your neighbor your family takes care of it. If your family had a problem with your neighbor’s family, the clan took care of it. If the two clans had a beef with each other, it would be settled within your clans’ tribe but if the two clans were from different tribes things could get ugly. If two tribes were at war the state might step in to settle in. Much higher up than that and you would get into politics.

Simple.
But then things got stupid.

Individuals attacking entire tribes to circumvent retaliation from other single individuals, clans that had been at uneasy peace up and destroying each other over night, delicate but equal power struggles suddenly cantilevered out of proportion. It is not your people’s way. Your brothers and sisters worked quietly to back trace the roots of the discord and uncovered a series expatriates from Mossland. Some of your brothers and sisters were never seen again.

You’re not dumb. And pretty sure your mother mostly sent you here to keep you out of trouble in case he, too, falls.

In your native tongue, pronouns are derived from number of mothers. Your mother had three. That’s an odd number. That’s the official story anyway. The truth is more complicated. Your mother often swaps pronouns every month to keep people guessing.

You miss your mother.

Dear Boss,

I am now entering the third day of transit from when I was seen off on the edge of our territory. I made the hike into town from the edge of Wallow Village on my own. I carried all my luggage. You were wrong about it being too much to lug around.

We crossed the sea by ferry over night. You were wrong about the Rust Sea being as impossible to navigate as the Sea of Dead Things. Yes the Rust Sea is just the name of the coastline between the dead sea and Mossland, but it wasn’t that bad. We all stayed inside the whole time.

I understand we’ll be in Ramsheath by sundown. It is very confusing how a town in Mossland is called ‘Ramsheath.’ Or is it ‘Ramshearth’? ‘Ramsheart’? Anyway, I’ve made arrangements to meet someone who will hopefully carry my stuff for me and show me to an Inn.

There are peasants on this ‘bus,’ Boss.

Please re-consider hooking me up with that boy from the Stagger tribe. He is 900% obtuse. There are many fine Princes in Mossland right now that might have me and come back with me. They have names like ‘Of the Star’ and ‘Flying.’ When they come back to our land, we will give them names that they could never have had in Ramshead or Mossland. What do you think.

‘Blinking Star’
‘Flying Blink’
‘Star Blinker’

See, when one prince becomes king, she picks a title like that. But everything is pretty locked up over here. The stability of power is almost trite, Boss. Why would someone from Mossland come to The Land of the Black and the White Where the Trees Grow Straight up and Down just to tear our power structures apart? These people abhor change, it seems.

Boss, I shall bring back as many fine Princes as I can. Do as you will.

-your right hand man
Ahe Blink
''

The letter is a little bit informal, but you imagine this is no time for formalities. You are the last of your mother's children. You hope it doesn't get back to your mother that you actually had a pack animal carry your luggage.

...Make SURE that you are going the right way. Are you going to Ramshead, or Mossland? Ask someone in town about the place.

To prevent someone calling a trace on the people you ask, try asking different questions at random in different places, so that it doesn't look suspicious.

Here are the important questions:

1. This is Ramsheath, Mossland, correct? Can you tell me some of the current events?
- Ask the first innkeeper that you rent a room from. She'll have a contractual obligation to support her customers, to a point.
- If the innkeeper asks why you want to know this, tell her that you're from a long line of professional artists (which is technically true) who do simple work for rich people, like redecoration. You're here because you heard that there are royals who are going to have a very large ball, and you want in. Also, because that prince is super sexy and your family is so good at their jobs that they've done the dance with royalty before. Best get as much information about the city and the prince as possible before interacting with them, though, or they'll simply execute you for being a blabbering idiot.
2. Ask a random guy where the nearest dragon shop is. If they get confused, ask about where you can buy dragons or dragon supplies for your little pet dragon.
- Ask directions after wandering and shopping. At random intervals, talk to someone who looks like they're on a daily routine walk, and not where their job is. This way, you dilute any trails that you leave in terms of suspicious questions.
- Show the stranger your pet dragon, and let them pet it, but don't let them see it for too long or they'll be able to identify it. It easily explains why you're looking for a dragon store.

You skip to the next day when you arrive in Ramsheath. The fresh air is almost soggy. There’s a hand carved marque by the road that seems to suggest this is a tourist destination and that we are in Ramsheath, South Mossland. After skimming the literature available at the inn next to the bus station you learn there is a rock climbing company, a hot spring company, and tours of several local vineyards, orchards, farms and guided pack animal trails. The main attraction is Tabletop Rock.

It takes you a long time to discern all this. You have to use a pocket translation book and each of the languages it translates to and from are non-phonic, non-alphabetic, non-syllabic and (mostly) non-logographic. Each character represents a full idea.

This one, for instance, might say ‘I am going to the store,’ and the one nestled inside it says ‘but I’m not going to be happy about it.’ However, in the context of the rest of the script block, these two characters beg the reader to ask themself WHY they would go to the store when fresh produce is right around the corner. The line that usually means ‘I’ is now being utilized by the author of the text to mean ‘you.’ It’s fascinating, linguistically, but the content useless to your mission.

You think it was rather presumptuous of the tourism board to believe only Ramheads would visit Mossland (the two countries share a common writing system). But then again, maybe that is why this town is called Ramsheath.

You don’t speak the language well enough to ask for a dragon shop. You have only ever been to one pet store that sold dragon paraphernalia. The old tradition states that one should feed their dragons off their own life force, causing the dragon to become addicted and completely dependent on the person who wields them. Eventually the dragon’s digestive system atrophies and if it is accustomed to feeding off only one person, switching to another person’s energy will send them into shock and kill them. But you think that’s kind of shitty and mostly you feed yours ant honey. It is imported but you couldn’t read the ‘made in’ label on the bottoms of the vials. Luckily, you brought some along.

If you don't know the language, use visual cues instead.

Given this disturbingly complex 'inscribe-context' language, using some key words like "shop?" and pointing to your dragon may be a better idea. People may get the idea that you're trying to sell your dragon, but a dragon store (which likely gets some of its best customers from rich 'The Land of the Black and the White Where the Trees Grow Straight up and Down' tourists) should be able to tell the difference if you show them money and ask for 'supplies'.

>>610718
That is kind of shitty!
Give your dragon a little bit of ant honey and be proud that you're not shitty like all the other dragon owners.

Focusing at the task at hand, when's this Prince's ball? Do you need to make any preparations prior to it, or do you have everything you figure you will need? Do you need to check in with anyone, announce your arrival?

>>610756
You were pretty concerned for the little guy, you guess. You unpack just enough stuff to get to the dragon food and feed the damn thing already. You sometimes supplement their diets with fresh caught bugs and flower nectar or tree sap. Some of them like fruit juice. Some of them like fresh blood. Some of them only feed on rotting fruit or rancid meat or coagulated blood.
Which kind of dragon was this, again?

>blood drinking
>bug eating
>sugar slurping
>juice box crushing

>That’s not what we wanted to know; we want to buy a NEW dragon before we start our mission proper

But the mission is important! You only have three days in in Mossland before you become suspicious. In 20 hours you should be arriving at the ball. You then are expected to wait another 20 hours to see if you get any call backs, as it were. Then they will probably want you out unless you have business.

Someone was supposed to meet you here and carry your stuff a block down the street to the inn. Or really you had hoped you would be graciously invited to stay in the homes of one of the nobles, here. You could perhaps gather information at one of the estates. It is believed the villain in your country’s upheaval would have been very high class in order to pull it off.

Bad idea. You do realize that coming in uninvited to any of the noble houses, even if you were first in line to Mossland, would likely result in trespassing charges, arrests, and/or an attempt on your life.

Just carry your bags and ask where the nearest hotel is, preferably something in your budget. Get yourself ready for the ball.

And leave your dragon at the hotel but be sure to put him in a safe place with sufficient food and water.

>>611506
Well that's rude.
Grab your bags and let's make a plan. Do you have any information of the nobles in the area? Names, descriptions of personalities? Who would be the most amicable towards letting you spend a few days? Who would be the least?

You have gathered a little intel on some nobles in the area who are known to grant audiences a little easier than others. Some are delegations from foreign lands, ambassadors and trade commissioners and other politicians and their kin. Others work directly under the king or his queens or sons and daughters. Some are the queens of princes and crown princes who also do important political work.

Subject D is of mixed heritage and might identify with your predicament. They hold a fairly high office for someone whose parents were immigrants. Something to do with taxes, you think? Accounting? They’re a sly character, not sure if shade.

But the good doctors K and L are renown for helping anyone who needs it. They are also world famous for holding the record for the longest-running mate group. It was founded at least two hundred years ago. Each time a member grows old and dies, they are always remembered by younger mates in the group. These two are all alone, now, you think. They aren’t royals perse, but they are kind for folks with celebrity status and hold sway with many powerful people.

Subject T is a prince who should have been first in line for the throne of Mossland but because of private family matters, they are practically banished. It would be in poor form to straight up force them into exile, though, so they still hang around the Mossy palace quite a bit. It strikes you that they might not be so loyal to their king so much anymore. If it were you, you would have killed your own mother by now.

J is the last of a line of princes from a land called ‘Rebelia,’ and has married the king of Ramshead. Subject J is known for founding or popularizing a movement to absolve all political power and return it to the people. Then they had kids.

B is a visiting spokesperson for their country’s trade commissioner. They should be attending the royal ball with their family.

M is a young person who pals around with royal children who cannot be allowed to interact with common folk and yet ??? this is a commoner?? who is paid to hang around with royal children? The tabloids aren’t being very clear, they seem to assume you already know everything about this.

F is pretty much the same thing but isn’t paid, as far as you can tell, and hangs out with an older set of royal children.

I and Q are monks of dying orders old time religions. Either of them could teach you a thing or two about spirit soul life force magic, but the long haired one with a pension for going shirtless is known to give knowledge away in exchange for money.

But the thief knocks you down, flat on your face. Pain shoots through your being as you come undone. You drop your knife like a child novice.

It happened so fast.

When you regain yourself enough to sit up and look around, the dragon-knapper is gone. You would like to get your spectra back under wraps, but it is not cooperating on account of how hurt your wrist feels. Did you actually let go of the dragon to keep it from getting hurt? If you managed not to fall on a knife it will be a christmas kwanzaa kenpass miracle.

Though you are in shock, the logic sector of your brain is telling you to go to the cops immediately. Another part of you demands you ice your hand. Another says you should look for witnesses.

Aw, you wook so cyu-
...
Nevermind.

Well, your aura's showing. Scan for your dragon and get running now!

get the cops, they are trained for this.

Look around for witnesses, then run for the cops!

Attend to hand, perhaps check for witnesses. I dunno about going to the cops- aren't dragons not a thing around here/possibly illegal to have here?

J. Go with Pamps. Can't go wrong with Pamps.

You look for someone who might help you report the crime but everyone seems to be too intimidated of you. Usually you would be flattered, but this is super unhelpful behavior. Long story short, you wind up at the local law enforcement office and even THEY seem wary of your presence. No one can understand your accent when you try to speak Mossy but eventually someone is kind enough to go across the street to get you some ice for your hand.

Eventually they stash you in a corner like they could get more work done quicker if they just get some space. This is getting you nowhere. Your family dragon is probably halfway to the Ramshead capital by now. Furthermore you are too frazzled to do anything about your aura being projected.

Just as it occurs to you that the loss of your companion animal might be just cause enough to stay an extra long while in Mossland, they bring someone in for processing. They make twice the fuss over them as they did over you, as though they were expecting them.

They look to be around your age, very disappointed, and full of bees.

Wait, ‘bees’?

Maybe you have a concussion.

Something about their green energy gets your stuff all fired up again. Hopefully they won’t notice.

She noticed.

Is that envy you detect? She wouldn’t be so jealous if she knew everything you’ve lost.

Bitch.

Try and strike up a conversation! Remember, friends are allies!

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Her Aura feels weird, enough so that yours reacted to it?
I think that might be worth asking about, what's with her bee-aura.

>what's with her bee-aura.
You have a hunch already.

>Try and strike up a conversation! Remember, friends are allies!
There’s no way she speaks the old tongue.

So you use it to call her ‘the son of a flippant harlot.’
