The sun is hot. The only sound you can hear is the wind. Before you, some destinations. While you head toward one of them, you try and recall what you are. This sun can make one forget and it would be best not to. You don't know when you'll see a mirror again.

Female armadillo. Head toward the tower on the left.

Let's be a cute female raven and head off to that tower thing in the north-west.

Male lizardman. Go to the tower.

Female Bovine (Minotaur War8!+(#), go to the mountain.

Um... That's right, I'm definitely a lady! And how could I miss my Raven beak? I guess the sun really is hot. The tower is obviously the most interesting thing to investigate. And luckily, the door is open!

Scan the room and find cover!

Mmm. The place looks like it has been abandoned for quite some time. The air is cooler, but not by much. Stairs leads up and some wooden boxes are set next to it. A beetle is hanging out.

Is anyone getting Rust vibes here? And open it

Them* the boxes I mean

Crates are made to be opened. (Literally.)

>>701070
Check boxes.

Open crates, befriend beetle.

Examine boxes, recruit beetle to party, climb stairs.

Go up the stairs. You can come back if you find some tools.

Oh well. Let's just go upstairs then.

Go up stairs, take beetle with.

Stomp the crate until it breaks.

That cauldron looks familiar.

Bottle up some of the liquid, it may help.

Well hopefully you found a friendly person's home, and not a crazy person's lair.

Don't mess with their stuff, but look at what's cooking.

Based on the smell and look, seems to me it's a Vegetable Soup. There's a lot of it. Maybe the owner is gonna throw a soup party? I could try and get some in a bottle but I'm not sure the veggie chunks will fit the bottle neck.

Should I put soup in my empty water bottle?

Sure, take some soup. Then continue up the stairs. You should check out the entire tower and make sure no one is home.

Don't steal soup unless you're like, super hungry or thirsty.
Are those sacks of potatoes or something sitting there by the stairs?

Don't steal any soup yet. It'll still be here for a while.

There's gotta be someone nearby, to have stoked the fire, and to keep an eye on things so it doesn't burn.

Go up, again.

Yeah, we shouldn't be stealing stuff yet. Think there might be something up stairs?

>Are those sacks of potatoes or something sitting there by the stairs?

After a quick check, these bags contain various vegetables and one type of fruit spy. And yes, one of these bags do contain potatoes.

>Don't steal, go upstairs

After concluding that taking some soup would equate to stealing, I leave my bottle empty for now.

I go upstairs... Oh!

Is that a wizard? I see a spotted robe and a blue pointy hat on the rack. Although I guess the robes might just be sheets.

What are they, a dog?

Not sure if we should wake them, it's kind of rude barging into someone's home and all, even if you did need shelter from the sun.

>>701355

From what I can tell, this is an indeed an Armadillo. It looks like they're using the thing on top of them like a sheet, but it looks like the spots are actually stars, so I guess it could be a cape? The thing on the rack look like a witch hat...

>Well they're pretty solidly asleep. What kind of person are they?

A tired person?

well you don't want to be creepy by staring at some person while they're sleeping now do you

Welllll, you could take a nap or something while you wait for the witch to wake up. If you're quite brave you could try waking her.

Ooooon the other hand, maybe I could wake them up?..

Otherwise, I can take a nap, or go to another location I saw when I arrived here...

>>701049

You could just watch the soup for them and make sure it doesn't burn or boil over till they wake.

You really should only travel the desert in the night. You're much better off waiting here for the day.

Take nap.

I check the soup and it does look about done. But looking at the fire closer, it's not a fire at all! It's some sort of solid block, but it's glowing and hot. I wouldn't know how to stop it reall-

She's actually holding me in place pretty good. Even if I could move from this position, I don't think I can lift a pile of muscle like she seems to be...

>There's an open window upstairs. You're a raven, can you fly? Or at least glide?

Not really. Some of my ancestors could, but my feathers are too short and my bones are not really hollow...

>Dialogue

Raven: W-what are you going to do with me?

Minotaur Lady: For now, I can't let you leave, and if you're being difficult, I have to incapacitate you. Once the witch wakes up, I'll do to you whatever she ask of me.

Initiate small chat to pass the time?

MILK THE COW.

...say you'll give her an apple if she lets you go.

Actually you should probably ask if the witch is likely to eat you, or if that was just... I don't know, some kind of prank.

Sit obediently in the minotaur's lap.

Does she usually eat people? I don't want to be eaten.

She's obviously putting the moves on you. Blush profusely and tell her you're not that kind of bird!

It certainly sounds like she put you under a spell. If you obeyed her for any normal reason you would remember why.

We enter a room that is surprisingly colder, even with a fire burning in the far back of the room. A bed sits next to it with an ax resting on the wall above it. We pass next to a hole with a natural ramp descending it. I think I see something glowing blue on the walls down there, but I'm not sure.

>Switching to reverse psychology/lets guilt trip her!

I start thinking of different tactics to get her to open up, but I also want to wait for the right moment. Lucy stays silent while we cross the room...

The only sounds that can be heard are from the fire, the claws on my feet and Lucy's hooves. I particularly notice how gentle the sounds of her hooves are for a Minotaur.

Lucy looks at me unimpressed and unamused.

Raven: Executed in a very slow and painful manner!

Lucy: ... Actually, I think the witch knows of a way to keep someone alive during and after removing their skin. You might not die soon.

Suddenly my entire body is taken by an uncomfortable tingle. I am way too aware of the presence of my skin and the possibility that it'll be gone...

Lucy: Look, whatever the witch is planning to do to you, it's anyone's guess on how long it'll take for her to actually do it. I just... need some time to think. For now though, you have to go down there.

Welp, to late to fight now, just get in there, and after a while start singing something like this

Before it's too late, I think of things I could do to escape, but eventually realize that it would be best to comply after thinking of actual reasons not to fight back. I don't have the energy to fight back, especially against a Minotaur that I could do nothing to at full strength anyway, nor run. It might be the fatigue talking, but at the very least, I'll be able to rest in the jail cell...

A chill runs through your spine as you come to the dreadful realization that these must be clothes from previou- Wait no. Looking at these closely, they are definitely sheets or sheet shape things and pillows. Some might have been made from living things, but they look too big to be from anything sentient. Some of it looks knitted and a pillow is using a potato bag as a pillow case. That's probably the lesser pillow.

I never thought of that subject in the context of my impending death before. But just like that, I would assume that trying to find a way to survive would be a better use of my time than having sex with a random dude I just met in a jail cell. Doing so would imply that I already gave up and I would prefer to attempt to extend the possibilities of having sex for years to come before I die, rather than a short term quick fix. I would even like to meet someone if that's possible...

>Uhhhh, no? She's really strong. How did he try to attach the witch?

Raven: "No, Lucy is like a stone wall to me. I could never make her budge..."

Lizard Dude: "Who? The bull? Didn't know she had a name..."

Raven: "How did you try to attack the witch?"

Lizard dude: "I sneaked in and saw her doing something magic. Isolated here and magic? Up to no good. I attacked but luck was not with me. Before I could get close, she shot a spell at me. I woke up carried by cow lady."

Suddenly, fatigue hits me yet again, harder then before. At this moment, this Lizard fellow stands up, looks at me for a moment, then say:

Lizard Dude: "Could I stand on your shoulders? Do you have the strength, warrior?"

We've toughed it out so far. Maybe he's on to something. Let him try whatever it is he's going for.

Try. If you're gonna escape, might as well do it at night.

>Dialogue

Raven: "I'm not that great a warrior, the witch was really easy to knock out. I mean, it was soup. And she was asleep when I got here. I could have smothered her with her own pillow if I was so inclined. She's not that tough, just crazy.

...it's that she has the Minotaur on her side that's a problem, yes. I can't really fight back against that."

Lizard dude: ... It's tricky, but I could try take care of her too. Even giants have jugulars... If what you say about the witch is true, she should be no problem under normal circumstances. If I face her again..."

>Let him try whatever it is he's going for./Try. If you're gonna escape, might as well do it at night.

Raven: "You could try standing on my shoulders. I think I could menage if try extra hard. You don't plan on staying up there too long?"

Lizard Dude: "Shouldn't. Here's the thing: I have this. Don't ask, I have to keep some secrets of my trade."

He shows me a thin piece of metal, maybe 2 or 3 inches long.

Lizard Dude: "I've had no luck reaching the trapdoor, but got close. I hope I'll reach from your boost, jumping from you. I pick the lock, give you ladder. Once we're out, I'll find my gear. After that, I might try to find the other prisoner. Depends on situation, I might just leave. You do what you want. Good plan, yes?"

Who is this other prisoner he speaks off?

>Who is this other prisoner he speaks off?

Raven: "Another prisoner? I didn't know there were anyone else! Then again, I didn't know you were here until I was thrown here..."

Lizard Dude: "Almost every night, I can hear her cry. I think she's here longer than me and she's sounds fragile. She's no fighter. Might be royalty with reward."

>crying
...I wonder if it was the minotaur. She seemed unhappy about something, and couldn't really explain herself.

>Good plan, yes?
It's a better plan than waiting here. Let's see if we can get out.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Lucy. Tell him that you want to wait for a little while. You still have something to talk to Lucy about and she told you that you wouldn't be dying anytime soon.

Also you're very tired so if he wants your help with the prison break you need rest.

A five minute snooze sounds great.

Raven: Is it ok if we postpone the break out? I still have something to talk to with Lucy. Also I'm very tired and would need rest.

Lizard dude: ... The cow has feelings? Nevertheless, it is fine. Resting is important.

The lizard folk then goes back to his pillow fort.

Lizard Dude: "I can hear you."

Weird dream. Anyway, let's climb the ladder.

I climb the ladder. At the top, Lucy gives me her hand to help me up. But once I take hold of her hand, she doesn't move. She looks at me with a stern expression and say:

Lucy: "You're not gonna try to run, are you?"

>"You're not gonna try to run, are you?"
Are you leading me to my death or off for torture, yet?

>>705754
"you're more fit than I am and know the area better, no real point."

>>705754
That depends on what's about to happen, Lucy. Are we talking or are we dying?

Raven: "Is- Is it time for me to see the witch yet?"

Lucy: "No, I haven't seen her since last time"

Raven: So you're not leading me to my death or off for torture?

Lucy: "No- *sigh*"

Lucy has a pained expression, She looks like she's mentally debating about something...

>Dialogue

Raven: "Actually, you're more fit than I am and know the area better, no real point for me to try escaping."

Lucy: "... I guess that's better. I'm not too thrilled about talking to anyone about my... situation. Don't make me regret it."

Lucy helps me up.

She then leads me to her room after closing the cell behind us.

Lucy: "You can sit on my bed if you want..."

...

Lucy: "... I don't really know what to say..."

>>705806
"Start at the beginning? I assume there's a story here."

>>705806
Sit. Ask how she met the witch.

Act like a child who's excited for a bed time story.

sit on bed smoothly

Yeah, sit on the bed; it may put her a bit more at ease. Probably just stay quiet and wait for her to start talking.

Sorry for the quadruple post, but do my two images show up properly spoilered for everybody else? They're not spoilered for me here, on the thread itself, but they ARE when I see them from the main /kusaba/quest page.

>>705837
Yeah, that's how spoiler images work now.

>>705848
Er...how's how they work, now, exactly? I tested it out on a thread in /moo, but the images I spoilered looked spoilered, both from the thread and from /moo. (As opposed to how it seems to be working here.)

>>705849
They only work like that in /quest/. It's like that because of a... complicated situation.

>>705865
That's a helpful explanation. (See >>/meep/27466 for the whole funfair on this topic.)

How about you both sit? There's plenty of room there. *pat pat*

Some years ago, I left my tribe to explore the world. It's something I felt like I needed to do, and luckily, some tribe members wanted to send some of us out to find some knowledge of the outside world to bring back to my tribe. Most of the elders didn't think it was needed, but most of us younger Minotaur knew that it was the best option, to strengthen us. Being one of the most proficient in wielding an ax, I was one of the few to be even allowed to leave.

The problem was that we all had to learn how to survive the outside world on our own. If we'd get in a fight, it was no problem, but everything else, from talking to people to new wildernesses, we needed to adapt. I don't know how everyone fared off, but I struggled with social interaction. I'm used to my own tribe, but people just get offended by anything everywhere else. I got better at other stuff, but that just ensured that I get overconfident. I tried crossing the desert unprepared.

I walked what felt like weeks, but couldn't find anything, not even an edge of the desert. I was lost and tired and finally gave up. But not long after I collapsed, the witch found me.

She brought me to the tower and nursed me back to health, saving my life. I decided that since I couldn't leave the desert, I could stay with her and return the help in some way.

What I didn't expect though is that she started acting weird anytime someone else would show up. She would get aggressive and start ordering me around. I didn't know what to do so I just complied. She saved my life and I promised myself I would help her... But the ways- The things I had to do. I was taught to defend myself and to even fight in a war, but I wasn't- the people that would come here, they were never fighters or bad. They cowered and plead. The witch started to treat me worst and worst, even when no one was around

... Now I don't know. It still feels bad, but it doesn't bother me as much. I feel like I should do something but... I can't- I don't know how to stop that witch. I can't just kill her. I can't just kill her. I still feel like I didn't fulfilled my promise. I don't know if it matters but it's still feels wrong. I don't know any alternative other than her death to stop her. I can't leave or I'll get lost again and- Maybe I deserve to die. I-

She turns away from me and covers her face for a moment.

Lucy: "... I- I don't know why she saved me or why she keeps me around. But I guess that's a version of my story..."

Give her a moral support pat on the back.

"You can't just obey her every whim. She's sick in the head, she may need help. In fact, why are you two still here?"
