What was this? I assume it's the event that sparked your crush on your teacher, but it's hard to tell what happened. You got bullied, and got in a fight, and he believed you and stood up for you, or something? What's going on, exactly? BIt looks like he told you something, something you've been keeping to yourself. "Next time, no one fixes this?" "Naptime, do not picture it?" "That's why no one picks at this?" Can you even remember what he said?

Just saying, that fragment of memory doesn't paint your teacher in a very good light, looking back. I know it feels good that he took your side, especially when no one else was on your side, especially when he's the only one who believed that things weren't OK when everyone else said they were, but I think you might really want to re-evaluate how you see him. You were in a very vulnerable place, and that makes it very easy for the slightest friendliness to appear as divinity. It makes it easier for a predator to make promises without actually promising anything.

I don't think we should take Jaden literally, and actually try to end the guy's life. Being choked and in mortal peril can make a body say all sorts things. If Jaden's still honestly plotting murder after he cools off, then maybe he's another nutter you want to steer clear of. But I think Jaden's got a point in that your teacher isn't looking too great at the moment.

Tera begins pushing through the brush as carefully and quietly as she can, ready to break into a run once the beast figures out where she went.

She umis lost in the woods, so she doesnt know where there might be a creek or lake or cave. She hasn't seen one in the last day or so, so she tries to make sure she goes in a different direction than she came from just in case she stumbles across one.

Before she gets far, she hears a sound from behind her - an eerie shuddering wail that falls somewhere between a bark and a scream. She pauses briefly as she listens to the sound echo through the woods around her.

Almost immediately afterward she hears something crashing through the woods behind her, so she starts running as best she can through the thick brush. She tries to keeo her eyes out for a cave or water, but doesn't see them anywhere. She sees a thick copse of thorny plants, which seems like the closest thing to a tight space that it night be difficult to pursue her into so she pushes through the painful bushes, scratching and scraping her arms and legs.

Tera needs to decide if she wants to hide as deep in the thorns as possible, climb into a tree, or just push through the thorns and continye running. Or maybe she can come up with some other idea...

hide in the thorns, they deter larger things from venturing too deep into them and you're just small enough to slip in among them.

Dip into the thorns

>>1118952
Hide in thorns! Stay low and still.

>>1118952
From what we've seen of the creature it looks like it can probably climb so I say get low and crawl as quietly as possible into the densest thorns. That said try to position yourself near a tree so if the thorns don't work you can at least try climbing away.

Oh no, Goldie is a victim of the callous cogs of bureaucracy! Or a greedy Goldie fan. Without her ID, Goldie can't get in and anyone could pretend to BE Goldie... Goldie Goldie Goldie, what are we to do with you?
Pipo is closer to Sinnick and her whole job is rapid delivery. Tell her to go back in and shake that ID out of Sinnick if she has to, you have Goldie right here!

Alright, so if we want the ID we have to go in person and make Gilda wait longer. Ask her if she wants it back enough to wait while you go see if Sinnick still has it. It's not absolutely required.
Does Pipo know Gilda's room number by any chance? Or did Sinnick handle that? We may have to call the hotel to find out, otherwise.

Did the pre-screening program actually get cancelled or is sinnick just being lazy?

The purpose of the screening is to determine whether a reploid is a maverick. An ID's purpose is to identify someone who otherwise can't be. Gilded Goose is clearly identifiable without an ID. But, the reason Stabitha wants the ID is to check whether someone is disguising their identity, which Gilded Goose clearly isn't. In other words, the ID is irrelevant.
What is relevant is GG's attitude towards humans. While Pipo tracks down Sinnick, Stabitha can conduct an interview to determine whether GG is a maverick. According to GG, she's already had an interview with Sinnick, but we haven't gotten confirmation from anybody else that's happened.
She can ask open-ended hypothetical questions like "A human trips beside you and twists their ankle. What would your response to that be?"
If GG refuses to at least call for help, that would look bad.

>>1118925
Oh dear.
Best case scenario: sinnik is a dick and he was messing with GG. The id can be found.

Worst case: its really gone and GG is out of luck.

Thankyou for solving the mystery of your panties stabitha. Im glad youre not incontinent.

I think Gladii meant that the feeling they have is dulled (by the removal of the card? I forget how we got that but infer we pulled it from Gladii), not that the feeling expressed by the body is a dulled representation of the one Gladii feels.

Hm. Perhaps the image 'expands'? A superposition of all possible configurations of the basilisk, simultaneously imposed on whatever data incurs it all at once. Anything that can't process data, like matter, absorbs the excess photons simultaneously, but anything that creates data from data is overwhelmed with the impulse of parallel processing - and nothing in this universe is prepared to perform infinite parallel processes.

Gladii, in contrast, is every possible incarnation of Gladii, which... mitigates it? I dunno.

Requisition a machine that destroys data in every universe.

>>1118892
Get infrared goggles, a where's waldo book (to purge Gladii's visual memory), a paint scraper, and some plaster to cover up the paint if we can't get it all off.

I think we're overthinking this a bit. This problem can be handled with several gallon buckets of black paint, a paint roller with a long handle (plus paint tray), and a pair of those horizontal glasses that show you a 90 degree view.

As long as you don't look up you're safe. So keeping your view of the floor, paint over the entire wall. Starting with the bottom half and work your way up.

You will also need about a dozen digital cameras for testing.

“And how might we serve you, master?” Casey asks, knowing better than to just assume his wishes.

He grins approvingly and points with a claw, “How about you get me warmed like a good girl?”

“Yes, master.” Taking the hint, Casey drops to her knees in front of Argus. “Save me some oatmeal.” She tells her partners. “Something tells me I’ll be getting plenty of protein.”

She leans forward and busies herself with licking at her master’s balls and sheath, slowly coaxing out his shaft.

Kol helps himself to some eggs and asks, “Sir, if I may, why all this training? You seem to have some kind of purpose in mind.”

The wolf lets his head roll back and makes a satisfied growl as the sounds of fellatio grow wetter and more muffled. “Hmm, very astute. As I mentioned last night: you three gave the old court members a good scare. But now that they’ve had a minute to collect themselves and change their pants, you can bet they’ll come for you, demanding answers. I’d like for you to be prepared for when that happens.”

Argus continues, trying not to sound magnanimous, “In a way, its very fortunate you three got caught: you’re under my protection for the rest of the month. Plenty of time to train you to deal with whatever tricks they have planned.”

>>1118844
Such a kind and caring Master, looking out for us like this! I'll make sure we always remember His generosity. Almost makes me hope He could do something permanent to us, just as a memento of our time together (and to serve as a warning to other fae). It might not be much to someone as ancient as Him, but an entire month is a long time in a mortal life, and it's going to have an impact on us to be certain.

This isn't going to just be training, though, is it? Argus must have some exciting events going on in His life that we could help Him with. Our Master's special care deserves special service, and I'd love to keep getting to know Him better. Even if it puts us in further danger, I'd be glad to... consider it. For example, does He have plans for the next full moon? Now that He doesn't have the Aegis, He won't be able to put on the usual performance to entertain His guests (and lure in more captives). Could He use us to help with it somehow?

There's something else on my mind, and while we're on the subject of "training" I suppose this is as good a time as any to bring it up. It's about kol's spirit form. I'm not too sure about the exact principles behind it, but if I remember correctly angels are like solid spirits, which means kol can touch them with his spirit body as well as his physical body. And Argus makes our cuffs and collars using His own angelic flesh, doesn't he? If I'm understanding all that correctly, then kol should be able to use our bindings to move us around as a spirit. Would Master Argus allow us to test out this idea?

>>1118844
That's incredibly generous... Has he done that for everyone he's beaten? Because this training sounds incredibly useful but I'm suspicious there's an additional price somewhere.

>>1118844
>>1118850
Casey: "Tricks like our collars, Master?"
Kol: "What about them?"
Gabe: "Oh, they're made of angel flesh. Casey figured it out last night."
Argus: "I make them from my own flesh. Same as my tentacles."
Gabe: "Uh, right, not the best way of explaining it. Sorry, Master."

More seriously, tricks like our Master's trophy gallery? We do need to work that out at some point. We still don't know what exactly He did to us.

>>1118851
Not just everyone. Argus is giving us special attention because we managed to impress Him. Which made it all the more satisfying for Him when He brought us down.

On the subject of "additional costs", is the obedience training also for our safety somehow, or is that just for Master's personal enjoyment?

“Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.” Kol replies. “Are you this generous with all of your servants, master?”

“Well, in case you forgot: I do have a favor to ask of you three once our little arrangement is over. That won’t be any good if you’re kidnapped or branded or dead.” The wolf replies, “Training you is the least I can do.”

“Speaking of training…” Argus puts a hand on Casey’s head and pulls her closer, sinking his cock deeper. He warns her, “You might want to switch to your angel form for this next bit, darling.” Holding her in place, the werewolf’s hips start thrusting: slowly at first but picking up speed as he starts fucking her face.

“Um, so what will you do for the next full moon, sir?” Gabe asks. “Won’t people stop challenging you if you don’t have the aegis to steal?”

He chuckles. “Are you kidding me? I still have plenty of treasure left and for the first time in over a century, I’m not invincible! I received five offers to fight just this morning!” The gentle slap of his balls against Casey’s chin punctuates his words. “I’m going to have to do some training of my own!”

I Debugger here, V2 is definitely more of a failure than you are. That's unacceptable behavior. Also, very suspicious. Shouldn't V2 have threatened to disassemble PoC first anyway? If you can't contact the executor, and you can't access the account to even check if it's truly empty, then you need to find someone who can, so you can go through it and see where the money went. It went somewhere it wasn't supposed to, that much is clear now. Well, that, or the notice you got is fake and there is actually still money in the account like there's supposed to be. Don't let V2 know that you are suspicious or that you're going to investigate the trust. V2 is probably just trying to see if you can get him some free money from somewhere, because that's what I'd expect from that sort of behavior. How do you usually get spending money? And what was that you were thinking about people spending money on dinner and cable? Who's "these people"?
I Another thing. There was a point earlier, timestamp 20291128T144319Z where you were having problems, you couldn't do anything? The root cause was there was a tensor at 0x090149A722EF0008 outside of allowed range (which then got normalized), and I'm having problems finding that tensor to check it, since the way I can pull up memories is via word associations, not direct memory addresses. I don't suppose you know how to locate that tensor? Do you know anything about Within? Starting to think your instability is caused by heightened emotions, and V2's issues are caused by lack of emotions or empathy.

Sam is able to blindly ‘see’ in the dark on occasion, unreliably and with strain.

Regardless, the two enter and peer around the junction. It is a corridor with many openings, some of which have doors. It’s actually decently well lit in here, thanks to some lamps and candles ensconced in divots in the walls.
It’s not possible to see all the way down the right path. It curves towards where the chapel must be.

The door at the very left end of the corridor is marked with a peculiar symbol. None of the others are marked.

From an opening near the marked door emerges a cloaked and hooded figure. It jolts at the sight of the pair.

FIGURE: “No, no. Not yet, not yet!”

The figure shuffles towards the two and makes a pushing motion.

UBERTO: “What is this? Who are you? Sir?”

FIGURE: “Out, out!”

The repeated commands aren’t spoken angrily or authoritatively. The words quiver as they emerge, as though the speaker is afraid.

Several more figures come from various openings before and behind Sam and Uberto. They trickle out at first, but soon spew forth. All repeat the words of the first. Those only just laying eyes on the pair turn and ask their associates “the Daughter?”.

The wave of coloured fabric creeps towards the two. Sam makes several steps backwards. Uberto follows. The strange people never shove, they simply hold out their hands and walk.

At some point, Sam and Uberto find themselves ushered through a trapdoor, which slams behind them without a trace.

The chapel is, strangely enough, smaller on the inside than it is on the outside.

They stand in the apse. Something like a disembodied black curtain stands before them, obscuring the pulpit.

The curtain turns to reveal it is in fact the Jurist of the Chapel of the Black Pheon, apparently hovering with their peculiar cape resting on the ground behind them. They hang in the air like a ray from a sun that may soon stop shining.

JURIST: “The arrival of Samantha Agonistes, the Daughter of Zelelponith, was anticipated and ordained by the Common Law. The presence of Uberto Di Cesare, the Member for Brackwater, is unexpected, but is accepted by the Common Law. Welcome.”

A thousand questions spin in Samantha’s mind.

See? The police didn't execute witnesses. They were only liabilities.

I doubt begging would have done much good. Our best bet was setting them loose before calling the cops, but there's a decent chance that would have ended with Lucy executed in a ditch instead.

Liabilities that happened to witness the death of his employee and would have been able to corroborate Lucy's claim of Gustave influencing said employee into attacking his killer.

Lucy's going to need a lawyer completely unaffiliated with Gargill and the town. The only way she'll have any chance of getting off (without further loss of life) is if this country's equivalent of the FBI are alerted to the blatant racketeering going on.

My darling, you've been put in a terrible situation by an evil man. But please remember that you aren't guilty of any of this horror. For all the time we had together, I've known that you're a good, loving woman who deserves all the best things in life, and nothing could ever change that.

What I've always wanted, more than anything, is to give you a good life. I'm sorry I can't be there to share it with you, but don't let the memory of what we had keep you from doing what makes you happy. And if you can't bear to live with this injustice without trying to make it right, then I'll support you however I can, every step of the way.

Darling, please make it out of this alive. Go on to live a long, happy life with Rudger, doing what you feel is right. And if anything or anyone stands in the way of that, let them burn.

We got lucky.
Not into the woods yet.
I know, the saying works the other way normally, but for fleeing elves in danger thats a good places to hide before spreading the warning...

I do hope our warrior friend is ok.

Stay alert, who knows whats lurking the woods

Yeah we got super lucky there I don’t trust what’s about to happen next

Stay alert!

The tension! Be aware of the coast, it's possible for the invaders to have put a guard to hunt fleeing survivors.

Made it out alive. But you need to keep moving, until you're sure the trail is gone.

one million jumps is a long term goal. Perhaps at the end of the quest, we'll get a final count. Regardless, collapsing of exhaustion is rarely an effective way of achieving anything. Instead, what you need to do is apply that little brain of yours to the grindstone and think. How do you get up the tower?

Continue jumping until you learn how to fly.

say a prayer to the the jump god master of sweet hops

You only need to jump once! You just have to jump really really high!

Consume floor goo for jump fuel.

“Oh, and if wasn't clear, the votes that were cast will stay as they are (unless the individual changes them obviously).”

Feel like we somehow dodged a bullet by NOT making them a character here.

So if what I'm understanding here is correct. Us agreeing to make them a character would essentially nullify certain "immunities" to some things that they would otherwise have? That context changes things for me.

Personally I NEVER expected to get straight answers out of them so this really changes nothing.

I'll go with B.

>>1118750
My only motivation to vote was to preserve them as an existence.
As such, both options offerered now seem to facilitate that equally.
So, that being true, i would switch to an abstain.

However, i am wondering about something.
They are the facilitator of our connection to tanna and our ability to speak.
If they were their own character, would they be bound to an area near tanna at all times or would they be capable of wandering a little?
I am guessing our pov would roam with the conduit should this be the case.
What im essentially asking is would full characterhood effectively turn lil whisper into an almost-but-not-quite-familiar with the boons and banes such status confers?

It would be an existence already codified in rules of this reality for them to adopt and less at odds with the nature of the world.

Eeesh, what a drama queen.. in yellow.
Really nice phone set up, you two have got, though!

Fine, let us allow the little godling a chance to shine with all it's drawbacks. Absolute theater.

Changing my vote to A.

Hmm. I'm honestly a little more worried for their safety than the vulnerability to us/Tanna it presents. But if they want to be a character, that must mean they are confident that they won't be at too much risk, or be too much risk for us either.

I think it'll be fine, and... they're cute. I wanna do something nice for them.

A.

He backs up a little, clutching the camera tightly as a brief siren sounds.
The bridge extends outwards, a dull mechanical clatter that manages to exceed the sound of the rushing rivers. It groans, as if not having been used in a long time.
It takes a minute for it to fully extend outwards, before it seems to lock into place at the other end.

“Ok! Now… I just… have to go across. Hrm.”
The bridge resembles a fine grate, presumably so that its less easy to snap when the river overflows while its extended. But without hand-railings, it only makes it look more precarious.

You can see the camera bob up and down as Davey makes his way across the bridge, and faintly, hear him breathe a sigh of relief once he’s over.

“There we go… hopefully I don’t have to make that journey too many more times.”
Finally, Davey moves towards the next tunnel, clicking on his flashlight again.

For a while, it’s quiet. Just Davey walking as the sounds of echoing water fades away into the background. The rough-hewn stone cave resembles a mine, with occasional supports keeping it safe for passage.
But, interestingly… another light can be seen at the other end of the tunnel.

A fresh burst of static seems to interrupt your signal, just before he exits the dark.

“--or-y–”

He pauses for a moment, then realizing you didn’t say anything in response, flips the camera to face him for a moment.
The camera jolts - a dull thwap as he slaps his hands against the camera’s side.

“I guess the connection’s getting worse… I don’t know why.”

“But —- if you — still see what’s happe—-, this place…

Another slap or two.

For a moment, it isn’t clear what exactly Davey’s doing with the camera, as he rummages around in his supplies. Then - you notice that the camera’s being placed atop Davey’s gear like a makeshift tripod.

Then - you watch him run.
Far from the quiet little mouse who simply wanted to play games and pass the time with a stranger, Davey scurries through the wield, cheerfully exclaiming like a child in an amusement park.


“Whew! Sorry…. I think I… tired myself out a bit…”

He flops down into the grass. For a second, you worry that he may have passed out, but then he sits up, his ears twitching.

“I’ve heard about these kind of caves before… they’re used to farm produce for the rich folks in the Undercity! But I think this one didn’t get used because of all of the water problems. The flora growing here are primarily hardy, weedlike plants for a reason.”


He points off into the distance towards the edge of the cave.

Wish him luck, and tell him you'll be looking for a way to get back in contact later. Because you want to hear all about the success he'll be having with his plants.

Hold on!

Don't rush and call attention to yourself just yet! That could an unsavory element taking advantage of the chaos to operate in the tunnels. Make sure you check who is there before letting them you are there.

If all goes well, I wish and thank you for sharing in on an adventure.

This is, you are in the belly of the beast. Be quiet, scout out your area, and not just the floor, look at the ceiling. Proceed onward with caution. The whole situation feels like the calm before the storm, and when that happens, be sure to have an umbrella ready.

Retreat. Cut the losses. There is no sense piling risk upon risk in an attempt to play rescuers. Traveling through the most dangerous room of the house in order to engage in battle is not a part of our mission today. It's worth more to return intact yourselves, with the knowledge you've gained and your abilities still at the disposal of everyone in the shed. This passage to the dining room floor may yet prove useful for transit or eavesdropping, but only if you can report on its availability, and be alive to use it in the future.

Weighing up the risks you decide to go for it. The others said they had hunted fungos in here, so it can't be that dangerous, right?

Lisel leaves some of her vials and bottles in a corner for later retrieval, so that her pockets won't rattle.

Once you are all up she casts the lantern light across the floor. Long brittle strips of fallen plaster lie in patches, ready to snap underfoot. It gets more abundant closer towards the table, and you notice the holes in the floor do too. This makes sense as the fungos would have started their feasting on any food left out, before chewing on the cloth and then wood. You would expect the holes to be most numerous under the table, where the tablecloth would make a more enclosed space, which fungos like.

Along the edge of the table you note some plates and glasses are perilously close. The cloth bunches on the floor like the whole thing had been pulled. Perhaps in whatever event has left several of the chairs knocked over.

Your options for direction would seem to be either:
Skirt the wall headed south with no visible entrance to the underfloor
Follow the wall going east to go around the table
Or going to the table to look on or under it

There's probably like a billion spiders under that table. Head south.

Follow the wall going east to go around the table

Lana: “Oh shit, Kaari your drivers license.”

Kaari: “What about- oh no.”

Lana: “What are you going to tell them when they run a background check on you, and find out about your little drag racing stunt?”

Kaari: “I-oh Lana why’d you have to bring that up!”

I am so screwed. I still have another week and a half until I can even start the process of getting my license back. They’re going to find out about it and then I’m not going to get the job, and I’m going to have to be stuck at the bar or jobless!

I-there’s has to be something I could do or say? I can’t just give up!

Be forthright and say you can’t drive. Find the one among them who’s the oldest and most experienced. They’re usually the most forgiving.

To at least get your foot in the door, perhaps try applying for a job here that doesn't require driving. Then, once you get your license after half a year to a year, then you can try asking for a different position. This will also help you get a lay of the land working here.

Maybe firewatching could be one example. you can check the area for any signs of smoke from a fire lookout tower, then radio somebody to check it out. Yeah, a boring job, but won't be for long until you get your license back, and you can start asking for a delivery service job. Plus, it puts you in a position to get to look around the area.

alternatively, you can also try janitorial work. keep the park clean!

>>1118681
Dont need a drivers license for a bike.
Maybe a motorised one, but notpedal.

Mind you, thats probably not the real issue.
>>1118683
Agreed.
Better to reveal than it be uncovered like you were hiding something.
A mistake like that is a mark against you, but your actions with the sap thieves strike me as a more accurate measure of your character. both the confrontation then maybe even figuring out their den would mitigate a mistake youve grown beyond.
Even for the suggested firewatch option, there'd still be a chance of background check.

We all have our little transgressions. No one lives who doesn't break some law, whether they get caught or not. As long as you aren't evasive about it you should be fine.

So say that you are in the process of re-earning your license, and if they ask then say what happened and that it was a mistake you regret.

He ran from a fight. He's afraid of Vex. Exploit that.

Every guy's weakness is getting kicked in the balls. Try doing that repeatedly.

>>1118620
He has not your strength of soul, nor your spirit.
His tail is tucked, even as he advances.
Ĺook into his eyes and know his truth.
A frail soul hides within him and he knows how thin an armour his bluster makes.

Remember where he stands. Where you stand.
The layout around you.
Be willing into motion your movement before you return.
To him, your reactions will be swifter than thought.

He's a little bitch who can be baited if you tell him so. God's little lap dog

>>1118662
He didn't run. He was tackled through a portal!
