Uberto charges with his rapier, and the spectral assailant melts away at the touch of his blade.

UBERTO: “All okay?”

Simone has already picked herself up and is holding her sword ready. The Jurist managed to stay out of harm’s way. Sam feels the monstrous weight being lifted and is able to stand once more.

The room before them mainly contains weapons and containers for weapons, but also has a few odds and ends. A scorch mark remains where the figure once stood.

>>1120223
Are they dead? Was that the expected result of hitting someone with that rapier?

Check the crate the figure was rummaging through. Also see if there's any particularly good weapons here.

It didn't seem like they needed a weapon. Is there anything else in here?

>Are they dead? Was that the expected result of hitting someone with that rapier?

It’s not clear if they are dead. They certainly aren’t here anymore, but Simone did say that they simply disappeared into thin air earlier, and it would be very strange if Uberto’s rapier was that lethal.

>Check the crate the figure was rummaging through. Also see if there's any particularly good weapons here.
>It didn't seem like they needed a weapon. Is there anything else in here?

There are a number of weapons here. Swords, halberds, maces, flails. Sam isn’t great with any of them. She’s barely done any sword training since she finished high school.
She does pick up a few small daggers, however. Surely, sticking a dagger in someone doesn’t require very much training, and Sam always beats Uberto at darts, so throwing daggers shouldn’t be much different, right?

The crate is full of odds and ends. Sam can see a pair of pliers, a hammer, some screwdrivers, but also other things like a peculiar amulet and a strange white crownlike thing.

Crumpled around the crate are certain bits of paper, including a couple of photos, a weird diagram annotated in a language Sam can’t read, and a note within an envelope.

The note reads:
“Dearest Hella,

Attached is my personal copy of Clerk’s writings on the pore Glundandra, as requested. I trust you to figure out how to use them without help.

I am now being kindly housed far closer to the city, so if you need anything more you may ask Koroviev for the address and come visit.

Best,
Professor M”

Ooh, harpy-arms form Casey. Wonder if she can pull off 'BE NOT AFRAID' form...

So seems like:

Casey is getting buff/swole + able to restrain his orgasms under sexual duress...

Kol is gaining a kind of blindsight / supernatural perception when in a state of sensory deprivation and getting BDSM training...

And Casey is learning advanced forms of shapeshifting / artistic bodysculpting.

Is Argus covering for their 'weaknesses' they displayed during his fight?

Kol lays on his back, his legs propped up on Argus’s shoulders. He keeps his breathing steady, relaxing his body to ease his master’s entry.

Right on cue, he feels the tip nudge underneath him and slip inside his well-used tail-hole. The familiar shape pushes deeper; the mouse's body having been trained to stretch perfectly to accommodate Argus's cock.

“Ah~”

“Too quick?”

“No, I’m okay, master. You can keep going.”

“Good.”

Kol feels his balls resting on the big wolf’s cock as it slides in and out. He can tell from the feeling of his spirit being fucked alongside his body, that his master is using his angelic form.

Gabe feels the tug of the leash on his collar as he’s pulled forward by his master.

“Ah~! Sir, are you sure?” He asks, looking down at the wolf’s backside.

“Did I stutter? If you’re going to be a proper sub, you better be prepared to serve your master any way they desire!”

“Y-yes, sir!” Timidly, he aims his cock under Argus’s tail and sinks inside. Having never seen the werewolf bottom, Gabe is surprised at how welcoming and tight it is. “Ah! I-I’m inside!”

“Well? Don’t just sit there admiring the scenery!” Argus gives the leash another tug and growls, “Get to work!”

The mouse nods and starts thrusting, trying to remember his training and pace himself. He pants and squeaks with each slap of his hips, having grown unaccustomed to topping while in Argus’s service. His cock, already leaking pre, works in and out, doing a surprisingly good job at filling up the werewolf.

Huh, so it seems the mice accidentally sabotaged their wrestling match by giving Argus a Moon Rock right before their duel, supercharging him (on top of the fight happening during the full moon when he's at his strongest). He is indeed skinnier looking right before he was given the moon rock.

This might also be a problem if he might want to visit the Moon with the mice - if a pebble supercharged him, standing on the Moon might turn him into a Kaiju and/or make him explode from the sheer energy/mana.

I hope we get to see twink/puppy/SMOL Argus when the Moon is fully New. Yay for chances to be tops as well!

Also, damn, that's a lot of tally marks (at least 45!) on Gabe for a halfway mark. They'll be covered in them by the months end.

The rat catcher rushes you. He grabs your long knife as you thrust at him, heedless of the pain. His thick glove saves him from loosing his fingers as he shoves the blade aside.

Refusing to yield your weapon, you can't dodge as he slams his club down at you. Instead you grapple him, and the blow that would have shattered your skull dances down your spine. White hot pain crackles through you.

Clarity returns to find you on the ground with the rat catcher's hands at your throat. In his rage, he's trying to throttle you through your thick cloak, hence you aren't yet dead. He's bigger than you, and has you pretty well pinned. There's only one thing you can think to do so you choke out "Lisel! His back!"

The chemist knows exactly what you mean. She drops the net, the prisoners being almost free anyway, and runs around your attacker. "Get off him you brute!" Jamming the nozzle right against the gap between two spinning segments of the rat catcher's contraption, Lisel gives it a quick burst of acid.

There is an awful chemical smell and a hiss like grease on a fire. Pinpricks of burning pain pepper your legs. The pressure at your throat eases slightly as the rat atop you locks up, his burning eyes wide and a rattling, low screech tumbles out of his slack mouth.

He's gonna go feral! Throw him off you, get back on your feet and get your knife ready but don't attack. Maybe he'll react like that one spider did and back off into a corner. If he's out of the fight then all you have to do is get the captives free and out of the room, at which point you can do a fighting retreat.

>>1120423
Agree, this is too good an opportunity for observation to pass up.

The first priority is to do whatever is necessary to get him off you, though. If you can't push him off, cut off his hand; he's not likely to be able to react in this state.

If it looks like he's out of the fight, help the prisoners get free, then go back up Kh'khechil with them. If you can neutralize the spiders here, that will make your way back a lot easier. If they manage to get through the door and onto their feet, that's when you'll want to run.

I wouldn't touch the knife until you're sure you aren't coming back. Everyone will think you're dangerous at that point.

>>1120434
He'll put it back in the morning. A rabbit wandering out at night is already considered dangerous.

>>1120430
Leave the knife. Scout the police station. Try to find a way to sabotage the phone lines later for when you strike Gargill.

Agreed.
The knife is useful but large and detrimental to sneaking and building trust.

Knowing where it is for an emergency is enough for now.

What if instead of the large butcher knife, and considering all the knives in the home were taken (probably for evidence), what if instead, we take something like a glass bottle, break it, and use that as an improvised weapon. sharp glass can be dangerous. Nobody is gonna notice a glass bottle going missing except Lucy.

If there is no bottle, I dunno, use a glass cup. Might not be as powerful, but still sharp.

whatever you use, just break it outside where no one can hear it, away from the house. Broken shards near the home could be seen as evidence.

Do not dispose of the non-Eden material yourself, leave it to the higher-ups. Or move it to the lost and found, to uh... disguise it as unclaimed items?
Can you move the common trash into the incinerator, or at least the service tunnels? You could use your chemical expertise to amalgamate it into a more easily transported lump.
The Eden crates are a pickle. Take a peek inside to get a feel for what it is - if it's inert, maybe you can just disguise it as part of the level geometry? I mean, park decor?

>>1120377
Good catch on the luggage. It could be an attempt by those anti-tech guys to sabotage Eden's relationship with Avis by torching her luggage and causing an incident.

Not that Formixer has a way to know that in-character.

The sealed Eden containers are probably contaminated lab materials that need to be destroyed, but keep the Avis packages to deliver them to the lost and found.

Place the sealed containers inside the incinerator so they're out of access to anyone coming across them by mistake, and they are destroyed as requested once the power comes back on. After that it's out of your hands.

Well, if the Avis containers aren't supposed to be here, how do we know the Eden containers are supposed to be here?

Hmm.
Formixer may not know why all these things are but she should at least scan the surfaces of containers for hazardous symbols she recognizes.

If there are any markings she doesnt recognise then maybe record or remember them so she can ask someone with a different dataset or expertise.
Maybe stabitha would be able to identify them later.
The important thing is to put aside all objects with unidentified markings until identified later for safe disposal.

these nonstandard containers need conformation before being disposed of. When in doubt, get it checked out.

In order to get the fullest information on the situation, open all the containers for inspection.

As for the machinery, what is needed to start them up? Perhaps a volatile chemical could do the trick.

"Well I, um, I don't really know either. What do you want to do?" said Slime.

"We were going to try to build a tall nest out of dirt and sticks." said Stag.

"You should do that. And, I guess, come find me if anyone gets hurt or has a big problem."

"Alright! Oh, some of the saplings and moss were saying they're getting too dry."

"The- the plants too?"

"And the fungus is saying there's too many rocks in the soil on the sunny side."

"... I'll- see what I can do." Slime wandered around to the other side of a tree and slumped down heavily. Fox and Squirrel followed, worried. "I didn't realize what I was doing. Now I think I need to stick around, make sure I haven't screwed everyone up. Fox I don't think I should do anything to your kits until we figure this out."

"About that," Fox shuffled from one paw to the other. "I had some berries earlier, so I didn't think of it until now, but I don't want to hurt Squirrel. Like the thought of it is making me feel bad. I don't want to hurt anything, so... how am I going to hunt?"

"Yeah you'd better not try and hurt me!" Squirrel huffed "Why don't you just eat nuts?"

Fox shook her head "That would take a lot of nuts! Maybe if there were more of them around? So yeah, wait on changing my kits until you figure this out. And hurry I'm getting hungry."

simple, eat all the squirrels that aren't friends. plenty of non-slime friend creatures that can be meaten.

You should make sure Squirrel can be seen as different to Fox. Fur color change maybe? As for the plants, you'd have to find a stream and gulp down a bunch of water to move over here to solve that request, but I don't think you SHOULD. It'll rain eventually, they'll be fine, and you're not gonna move rocks for the fungus.

Tell Fox that you can get some oranges but they're full of poison so you'd have to modify her for her to be able to eat them, and her kits wouldn't be able to eat them either. Honestly, she's better off just hunting squirrels that you haven't touched, at least for a few days. Also she might consider keeping clear of the area where the smart bugs are so her kits don't mess with/eat them.

Another option is for you to eat a bunch of nonsapient biomass and then turn bits of that gained mass into pure meat for Fox. You could even turn it into jerky or something else that can last a long time so that Fox has food while you're away.

>I think I need to stick around

Only for a little while. Once you've gotten them on the right track you can leave them to their own devices. That's the beauty of free will; creatures can make their own way with it.

It may not be a bad idea to pick someone particularly smart (and strong-willed and dependable) to oversee things while you're away, though.

>Why don't you just eat nuts?

This is a bad idea; foxes can get by like that for a while but eventually they're going to need meat or they'll have problems. Unless you're going to modify her and every other creature you uplift for a completely vegetarian diet, you're going to need to allow for predation in your ecosystem... and even if you did, it seems the plants are now sapient too.

So either you're going to need to keep a population of nonsapient plants and animals that can serve as food for your "children"... or else you're going to need to establish rules for who eats whom how and when.

I'm going to suggest sticking to the former at least for now; no need to make their existential crisis any worse than it already is, at least not until they're established.

Of course, this means they're going to need to start managing their resources. In essence, they're going to have to start performing agriculture. (You really did feed them the forbidden fruit.) It looks like they have a system set up for foraging and resource distribution, so you'll want to have them build on that and start managing their food sources and storing supplies.

Loquui does not understand what 'soshitup' means. More dah-een babble probably.

Yakubi follows the ghost-thing into a building. Loquui remembers. Her clan used to use this place for bathing and washing of clothes. The people her clan took this place from. They had this system to flush water out and let the river replenish the pools, so there was always a smell of fresh water, like soil after a rain.

All Loquui smells is blood and filth. Loquui follows Yakubi, and she sees why it smells so bad. The clan is down here. Or a lot of them. Women, Men, Nonpeople. Their bodies are piled in corners like discarded trash, and bodies are dumped one at a time into the pool. They can't be disposing of them this way, are they?

No. Loquui can smell something else. A tang in the air. Like meat burning. She knows the witches of the Odd-women like Sizzala would reek of this when they used magic. But there's something else there. Something sour.

The ghost-thing moves to the pool as a dah-een pushes a dead woman to the pool. Loquui hides in the corpses as they work. She can tell, that was the old mistress of the hunt! Shokzali learned from her how to hunt and teach. Loquui thought of all the elders who would survive, she would. And now her body was being pushed into the water like a cook pushes food beast into a stewpot.

The ghost-thing kneels to the pool, and lowers its arm stump into the water. The smell of tang and sour is getting stronger, Loquui sees green in the distance. Things in the water are moving, latching onto the ghost-thing.

Suddenly a ghost-skin emerges from the pool, gasping for air. "Those bitches killed me!"

"Welcome back brother. Enjoy your time on the other side?"

"No, I don't remember any of it. How long was I gone? What happened to you?"

"Less than a day. And after they finished ripping you apart, they came for my arm."

"Did you kill them?"

"I lost them. They're in the city somewhere."

Loquui struggle to comprehend what is happening. They are...bringing back their dead? Using Gormoamhi magic? Woman magic of all things?! That's impossible! It's-it's-it's...wrong! Everything about this is wrong! Loquui should kill them! Loquui should run! Loquui should not hide- Stop. This! Stupid girl. Stupid Loquui! Do not let the anger take over!

Ghost-thing pulls his stump up. It is no longer a stump. It is a gormoamhi arm? They're using the dead to regrow limbs and bring back the dead! And Yakubi is not killing them for this? Loquui is in a nightmare and she can't wake up!

"Still imperfect, this should have been my arm, but instead I get this incomplete thing."

"So, they're in the city. What's the plan to hunt them down."

"Yakubi tells me a boat was secured. I think they may have used that. So, first thing, we secure the ship at port. Meanwhile you get yourself implanted."

"Again? The last one is still in my head. I can feel it worming in my mind."

"And you'll take another, that is the pact you made. They know the scent of those women, and the Makag boy. It will sniff them out."

"Ugh I hate this part..."

The new ghostskin is taking clothes from-from the dah-een?! When did he get down there?! Wait...the others don't seem to care that he is there. Do they think he's their property? Hmm, the dah-een is more clever than Loquui thought.

>Lots of knowledge, and horrors that will keep Loquui awake tonight.
>>Signal the dah-een. We are leaving.
>>Keep hiding, see what happens next.
>>The smaller ghostskin is leaving. Follow him instead. AND KILL HIM AGAIN! No-not yet...

i think it's time to leave, before they have a chance to "sniff you out". we need to tell the others what we've learned, and that our enemies may have a way to track us

...It was never just the meat the Gormoamhi witches were sacrificing. And they had no idea.

The Rezans did the impossible. They brought the dead back to life. This is not something you can discard back into the void. It could change your way of life. It could make you worthy of bedding your goddess...

And, of course, it could let you torture these @#$%s to death over and over for all the hurt they've brought upon you.

Be patient. Wait. Trust the Daoine.
Silly, I know. But if you succeed, you're both going to live for a very long time.

Bear hug him while ripping his throat open and make sure you roll around the whole time. Drain his life away, but don't bother to gloat; your real fight's with the feathers, for the feathers.

My choice for next move goes not to Eiko, but someone else.

Julian, listen to what she is saying.

She's right!

You have been bossing others to do what you commanded while doing nothing yourself.
You may think it is too late to change your ways, now that you are standing on death's door and you might have literally being gelded, but I'm telling you, it's not true! You can still mend your ways!

....

You gotta lead by example! Kill in the name of some god by clogging her jaws with your body!

You'll probably still die, but the fact you decided to do your own dirty work at the end my earn you 30 respect points with Eiko and company.
It'll still add up to below zero points, mind, but hey, you can still almost save some face, at least!

Stomp on him to hold him in place. Point at the angel and ask if they want their pet back.

Oh I like this a lot.

Just laugh at him while he is in pain, a little bit of aura farming can't hurt you in this battle.
