A. I'm with Abdle. Sometimes being a queen means making a difficult unfortunate choice like this for better for our kingdom in the longrun. He's upset negotiations didn't go well, so we do not want to anger Steinhardt further and make him our enemy by stopping his orders of killing the maid. Sorry Bobbie. At this moment, we should just salvage what we can in terms with this bird's kingdom.

I know you feel guilt, but this is more Steinhardt's doing, not yours. I don't know what happened in there, but feeling guilt for something he did because you didn't do well at negotiations sounds more like psychological torture he's pulling you into. Kind of a "LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO" kind of thing, you know?

B) if Steinhardt going to be wasteful and fucking insane individual it doesn't mean that we should be as well. Intimidated the general take the maid with you and leave this castle.

B) Abdle's mostly right buuuuut fuck these birds.
Also we could probably just say Seinhardt said we could have her corpse and just pretend to kill her. It wouldn't be weirder than what any of the other freaks her do.

1. Steinhardt is responsible for the maid's fate. Did you give the order for her to be executed? Obviously no so you're blameless. Just remember this, so you know who Steinhardt is the type to execute his own on whims.

A). this is one of those situations where u have to turn away, but do not forget what was done.

Sounds like an opportunity. We want to deal with Hella, and she currently doesn't know where we are. If we go to the encampment and mess with their stuff, she might teleport down to fight us, at which point we can win and lift the curse.

To that end, we should try to prep for the fight as much as possible. Is there anything else nearby we can use?

might as well take a look at the camp

>might as well take a look at the camp

SAM: “Would you show us where the camp is?”

Miller elects to stay with Mary, but gives a quite detailed explanation of how to get to the encampment.

MILLER: “And remember. Don’t let anyone out of your sight.”

>To that end, we should try to prep for the fight as much as possible. Is there anything else nearby we can use?

SAM: “Also, do you know of anything nearby we could use in our fight with Hella?”

SIMONE: “We’re fighting Hella?”

UBERTO: ”Sam? What are you planning??”

MILLER: “My advice would be to not fight a high-ranking WOLAND agent. Forgive me for saying so, Mister Di Cesare, but I must imagine even your authority would be limited in the context of a prima facie unlawful battle. I cannot judge the rest of you just by looking, but please be forewarned.”

Sam gazes through Miller.

MILLER: “I have a small store with a net and some ropes near the encampment. Just follow the trees marked with broad arrows once you get there.”

UBERTO: ”What’s your plan?”

SAM: “Instead of trying to find Hella and asking her to help us, we can lure her down here by tampering with her stuff and force her to help us.”

McGREGOR J: "Does the daughter recall what the Raven quoth?”

SAM: “Maybe? Anyway, we’re here.”

The group find themselves between two clearings.

The one on the left has a few deflated tents, the odd half-full sword rack, and several crates that remind Sam of the ones found in the Catacombs.

The one to the right houses some humming machines. It looks like there are two rather large cylindrical machines each hooked up to what might be a generator. One glows faintly orange. The other, slightly brighter blue. Something shifts inside the cylinders.

Sam leads the group to Miller’s store. She finds two lengths of rope, a net, and a large bear trap with gnarly looking teeth lining its jaws.

>we're fighting Hella?
I mean, she's the kidnapper? How else would we resolve this, asking her nicely to let us do what she told us not to do, and also to uncurse the person she cursed? Why would she cooperate?
Well, we can't do this without the agreement of those present, I suppose. Ask what alternative plans they can think of for uncursing Mary.

>"Does the daughter recall what the Raven quoth?”
That's either "nevermore", or a reference to the "feather" we spoke to. I guess this equipment could be at the site of a pore. Does he have anything else to say on the subject?

She asked if she could pet his ears earlier.

He said deal.

I say keep doing it maya.
That was helping you stay calm which helps him do his first aid and you to rest.
Maya, you can let your guard down a bit.
You already said nothing below the hoodie and he agreed.
Look at this precious cinnamon Bun (pun very intended)
He keeps his word.
You can trust him.

>>1129567
Don't worry about what you owe him. You don't have to feel guilty about getting the medical care you need, or for being yourself. And you don't owe anyone your love! That's not what it's for! Honestly, I'm worried about whoever taught you to think like that. But you don't have to worry, Maya! You're injured and getting medical care; it's perfectly okay to make this about yourself.

Just relax and ponder this. Would you like to show him affection? If you think you would, then go right ahead. Enjoy his company! Look at his cute face, pet his ears, maybe even ask him for a kiss if you want. There's no shame in indulging yourself with someone who likes you.

If not, then all you have to do is rest and recover. If you need some time alone, don't be afraid to ask him. He'd be happy just to know you're safe and comfortable. That's the best thing you can do for someone who cares about you.

I have a feeling that interpreting medical care from someone who compared treating you to the act of treating a feral cat as romantic gestures is probably not a good thing to do.
Maybe you can think about whether you like him or not after the suspension bridge effect dies down.
You've just met him, things don't tend to move that quickly. Besides, kissing is the kind of thing you only get away with at higher levels of friendship. You'll have to spend enough time with him after medical care to graduate from the hurt animal stage.

That warmth could be dangerous, have you read omegaverse? What if Swiss is an alpha and you're an omega, was that the case, it should be avoided at all costs, it's the most boring type of omegaverse relationship.

...It's probably not that and just some emotion that you can worry about later though. You should calm down, you don't actually need to do anything in particular right now other than allow Swiss to treat your wounds.

If you want to help pass the time you can always just make some conversation and try to zone out into it so it all feels less weird.

Try asking him something like what's his favorite type of youtube video

Lick his feet and withhold nibbling unless he gives you the deets, the art of the tease is the only book you've read 69 times after all

Agree on the condition that the prayers and offerings are kept within the interior of the walls of the shrine.

Booty shrine priestess says it's distasteful, but I think she really feels underappreciated. Her shrine doesn't see nearly as much traffic as his, and the offering "flaunting" might be getting to her.

We should totally invite her to the spa later.

>>1129897
What about putting the dick in the dragon and the butt on the Goblin?

Keeping the graffitti out of sight of the butt priestess would indeed be useful. Another option could be painting the prayers as kamasutra art.

You could also switch from painting/graffiti to something more 'tasteful', like those fancy japanese prayer slips, physical phallic offerings, a literal 'suggestions box'... Saves on space for future prayers, and lets you remove those that came true already without cleaning.

Of course we could also ship the butt priestess and dick priest together.

Ask about quest in any case.

Also, is there a vagina deity/clergy out there?

OK, I get the picture. Let's hear the quest. I bet it's a quest that involves the Boob Shrine, and then to do that we're going to have to complete a quest from the Boob Shaman or whoever that has to be done at the Butt Shrine.

Fuckin' fetch quests.

File away this idea for the future: can we somehow grow the grass in the Grass Farm tall enough to hide the Dick Shrine from sight of the Butt Shrine?

What can we offer the book? Hmmm. How about obscure trivia from a dimension foreign to it? (I.e. if we can state a fact the quest writer doesn't already know about or finds amusing, we get a favor).

The cap, while useful and fashionable, might be a liability in its current form, being easy to knock off or get damaged.

How about a short story?
A screaming van passed by. He hated them. They would steal people away from their homes and take them to the white rooms. He pulled out the last bucket of frozen noodles from the dumpster and carried on his way. The showoffs lived in a big museum where they put everything up on shelves and then threw them away a week later. He hated those showoffs. The sidewalk broke up into tiny islands and then into a field of long grass. Finally, the grass turned into the wooden porch of an old house. He made sure to side step the broken boards and the holes that rotted through the floor. The screaming van had took him, once. The men in the white room tapped his lumber and scolded him when the sap was dirty. What did it matter if it was dirty? The sap isn't for eating. He dropped the frozen noodles on the table and took the lead needles into the living room. They went in the steel bowl, and were crushed by the back end of a screwdriver. The man smiled as he followed the curled wires from bowl to plug. As the plug and outlet met, the microwaves lit up and began to buzz. The powder inside the bowl leaped and sparked, eventually settling down into a floating image. As the man looked into the image, a set of sparks lit the inside of his head, and he knew what it wanted: computer hearts. Then, as the image began shaking, he frowned. Unplugging the machine, he looked towards the shelf of glass jars and identified the third one as fried. He scowled. The traps outside were empty.

Now, if I may ask, what is the weakness of a devil skull?

...ah, it sure does! Looks like it's just substituting individual symbols for letters. I'm sure I could've figured it out without a translation sample, but I wasn't motivated since it was obviously silliness in this case.
That means the way to translate this is to turn the letters back into symbols and then into their corresponding letters.

Uh oh. If you look at the picture more closely, you can see that the eaten webs have a RED TINGE. Maybe they were 'spun' by thr creature we just found, or a contaminated sister? Hopefully it doesn't mean we are compromised...

It also resembles a grub or caterpillar. Maybe if fed enough, it will cocoon itself at some point and become something beautiful (and/or murdery). Feedung it could be an experiment to try.

Possible option could be to take the creature to a sister who is an expert on foregin species, a doctor, or other 'specialist' of the sort. Said specialist might also know what the heck the red corruption is. Does the boss know where we can find such a sister?

...you know, if she DOES have the ability to mimic your angelic form, you could enter a shapeshifting contest just for fun, and maybe to beat 'em at their own game.
The changeling, being both Fey and a natural shapeshifter, could outlast you, no matter how well you do.
That's the point, Angel transformations are obviously exhausting, and no matter who is drained first, their true form will be revealed.

Grow a ludicrously large dong. They'll either panic at what they're expected to take or break their glamour trying to. Cecil can judge the results.

Cecil has an entire collection of sex toys. Have a 'will it fit' contest.

She must be the leader of the trio.

While they might be able to mimic your form, they might have difficulties with the physical aspects you've specifically trained in under Argus.

They're ultimately a creature with rigid-ish chitinous plates, meaning they aren't as flexible as you are. So lets say, twisting your body into a kinky pose that would make a circus acrobat impressed might give it pause or discomfort.

In other words, see if it can mimic one of your 'impossible without shapeshifting' poses.

E: An excellent opportunity for a bi threesome if no transformation, maybe bi with girlcock (or 2 >:3) or full gay if transformation
B: Possible foursome, a 6699 even?

Oof, tough choice.

>Unnecessary stat managing
So instead of everyone being adults and managing their own sexual needs or hanging out with each other as friends off screen, they need Ceri to step in and do everything for them? That just makes it feel like the world revolves around them, with everyone holding their friendship hostage and if Ceri doesn't do their bidding, they're going to end their friendship.

That's a very unhealthy relationship right there.

This just feels really problematic and could potentially slow things down by making it where we panic and try to force people to hang out when they don't want to.

>>1129732
A/e

>>1129874
>they need Ceri to step in and do everything for them?
Talk about exaggeration. Most of the hoard is indeed fooling around with eachother when Ceri's not there, as we've seen. I'm not sure if the tilde meter displayed here is a measure of their general horniness or their desire to have sex with Ceri specifically, but obviously she needs to occasionally give hoard members personal attention anyway! That's part of a *healthy* relationship.
And yeah of course if Ceri doesn't hang out with someone for a long period of time they'll get upset and want to end the relationship. That's a normal reaction. Do keep in mind these are all intimate, romantic relationships? You're not gonna ditch your partner for weeks at a time and expect them to be happy about it. In casual or long-distance/internet friendships, it's more normal for there to be gaps. I'm guessing that's what you're used to.

This is why Ceri's hoard size can't get too big. Unless she learns some kind of cloning or time magic to let her do more every day.

>>1129875
>In casual or long-distance/internet friendships, it's more normal for there to be gaps. I'm guessing that's what you're used to.
Nah, I hang with irl friends. But even then, we don't constantly do things together, since it doesn't make those moments special if we're always around each other.

But this stat managing system makes it feel like Ceri needs to constantly hang out with everyone or else they'll end their friendships. Poor girl won't ever be allowed to enjoy time to herself if she's gotta keep everyone happy by always being around them.

Say you will do what you must to save your people.

Oh boy, being named after a historical figure the mouse likely has zero context of. And on top of that, being named general and expected to betray the rest of the survivors to 'join' the mad king's little play.

Humor the king for now to see his 'wonders' but make no promise you can sway the people as a single mouse. Maybe ask some probing questions about your 'role'. Stuff like 'what brands us as barbarians within this house?', or 'what do you know of our ways or culture?'.

Also possibly cast derision at his troops since you're seemingly allowed to do so. 'Your words may ring true here, but your troops act unspeakably in the dark corners of House Cadvere where few can witness their crimes. They maim and strike without warning, offer no surrender, kidnap us like mere beasts or slay when convenient.' and the like.

If this control freak wants to get his hands on your relatives might as well and try to get something out of this rotten deal. Ask if he can provide some food for your starving tribe.

The madman is clearly an expert (al)chemist, they could just lace the food with poison and kill everyone - or sedate everyone to allow them to be effortlessly captured en-masse. Or some other horrible concoctions.

'Delivering' the food would also expose the hidden colony. Negotiating with him will just end badly as they're clearly mad.

Notable is that the Master might not even be human (could be a small/large animal trying to be human), alive (revenant or half-dead), or mobile (seems to be monitoring the whole house with glass-eye cameras, likely from one place he never leaves). The mansion is clearly decrepid and he likely never left the attic in weeks. He also doesn't seem to sleep, given a single sound alerted him to the mice in one specific room and the mice never seemed have periods where there is no risk of puppets.

Best guess, scientist who did a frankenstein puppet show for guests as part of a grand dinner party, got disgraced/disowned for how macabre it was, and went into mad isolation for their genius not being recognized. Might also be paraplegic or suffering some kind of ailment that limits his mobility, hence the need for servants.

This 'kingdom' of his also seems... Childish at best, or an escape from reality. A man-child, or maybe an actual child?

So let him elaborate on his idea and the logistics of how it will work out. Is he willing to let you go in order to bring your people to him? If that is the case, then play along with it, but I fear that this will go in the direction of you needing to tell him where your people are while he is torturing you for that information. The more we know how he envisioned all of this to happen, the more information we have about knowing where the weak points in his plans are.

C) + D) let's see if humans taste like chicken.

If you are planning to absorb the human (or any human for that matter), ensure that their immune systems are boosted and/or inoculated after restoring them. If there IS a 'second influenza', its likely you absorbed it at some point and/or might be a carrier and would have to ensure the outside world is safe for humans again (you are effectively a permanent cure/vaccine).

Another possibilty, if able to directly affect the brain of those you recreate, is to give the human a bit of your memories/knowledge (do you share memories when rejoining your splits?) or basic details of what is going on as a sort of flashback tutorial to being a slime and be less inclined to panic.

Hmm, now I'm worried that slime absorption might also make viruses, bacteria and microscopic lifeforms sentient (and we haven't noticed it yet), and would most certainly affect parasite lifeforms (fleas, ticks, tapeworms, etc). That might become a problem for most of the sentient animals harboring them.

Also, humans wear clothes you can't absorb and consider nudity indecent. That might send the wrong message to any witnesses.

>>1129399
Wait, do the creatures that slime assimilates speak human language, or is it some weird psychic hivemind thing?

>>1129735
Given the whole souls-from-another-universe situation and us understanding the human, trnaslation shouldn't be an issue. Nothing a quick absorption can't fix, either!

What's the 'smallest unit' of slime a slime can assimilate and convert, exactly? It might help to know if slime can turn bacteria, viruses, microorganisms or (most existentially worryingly) individual living cells sentient, or are those 'too small' for that / absorbed and replaced with singular mass.

And if any slime has reached the ocean, whether the entire krill and micro-fauna of the ocean has become sentient and is propagating more sentience to the entire aquatic population.

Reiko keeps physical eye contact, trying to dilate her eyes to maintain the princess' susceptibility to cuteness proximity.

She's still trying to call Branu to demand to know what the fudge is going on.

Without missing a beat, the interface prints out a form.

[Intelligence Effort 4 Bluff]
"My allegiance is to House Youngmason. Please read and sign their terms of contract, and we'll be off. Ma'am." She even does a cute little pose while handing out the form.

See, the Youngmasons always have pre-planned drafts of statutory contracts lying around for every business deal they could possibly make. Reiko learned quickly that she could make money and prestige by copying the core drafts to her implant, and tailoring them to a client whenever all the official negotiators and diplomats were getting shitfaced or too busy being dead. She'd been working on this one in her spare time while flying, a sort of taxi-service agreement that she was going to give to anyone who used their reputation and status to commandeer the flying saucer without payment. Such as this brat.

This particular MOU has no outwardly predatory clauses nor immediate tributes... but it does bind the client to certain acts of honor in the future. Acts that give House Youngmason a subtle advantage in certain industries. Nothing outrageous. A lunch meeting with the Eastern Branch Board here, an agreement to conduct acts of charity in a specific set of countries there, and other simple acts of politeness and decorum, and the earliest scheduled meeting is years away. If she isn't really a princess, she could just ignore it. It would just mean that she and the government she represents are untrustworthy to the rest of the solar sphere's aristocracy. Nothing to sweat about, certainly.

We have several potentially hostile forces who seem to be at odds. Seeing an old... relative is putting Cricket Moon back in the mindset of those bloody early days. Never strike without leverage. Never give away your hand. Part of her tugs at those mannerisms- is this how a hero acts?
But Cricket Moon does not know herself as a hero. And so she waits and observes. Are the two sides immediately drawing steel? Do the humans run?

Smoke eels don't have any visible equipment apart from their own bodies. Not moving like pack-hunting predators; almost, but not quite. Closer to... well-drilled soldiers, in an unfamiliar hostile environment. Definitely capable of swallowing a human whole, but they're passing up opportunities to do so in favor of attempting to inflict disabling wounds. By the time Zalkezia's retinue makes it up the stairs, where the eels can't easily follow, guy with the cargo net is missing a big chunk of his right calf muscle. Several other less severe injuries; armored hunchback took at least three plate-crumpling hits in the course of defending that kid with the harpoon gun, but is still mobile and lucid.

Only two eels are hurt - one by said harpoon, another by some sort of energy beam Malia fired from her metal eye. None of the humans manage to land even a glancing hit hand-to-hand while still in the water. Injured eels move away, and are providing each other with some sort of medical care; a third is scouting out the side of the hangar bay which leads to the main gun, acting as rearguard, leaving six to pursue and encircle.

Cricket Moon is going to attempt to assassinate the lone scout. Applying deadly poison to her dart thrower, waiting for it to get out of sight of the others, then maximum effort on a quick and quiet kill. Presumably Dex based? I don't know if I can apply effort to make the attack hit harder, or just be more accurate, but if I can, then one level on damage, one on accuracy, one on
>In addition to the normal options for using Effort, you can choose to use Effort to increase the level of the poison; each level of Effort used in this way increases the poison level by 1.

Hopefully maintaining stealth and using a light weapon will mean is is basically guaranteed to hit, but, the dice paranoia in my/Crickets head is telling her to aim carefully. Not sure if there's an effect from being over-accurate? Or if that's just ëffort on damage".

>>1129739
Per advisement,
>Creating poison and attacking are separate actions. If you buy Extra Effort right now, thus advancing to Tier 4, you could put four levels of intellect effort into making a Level 6 poison - which is particularly significant since the dramath are level 6 npcs, so that would *actually work* - and then, next round, four *more* levels of Speed or Might effort toward some combination of enhancing the attack roll and damage.

Let's spend 4xp to lock in "extra effort", advance to tier four, and then attempt to poison an eel.

Try to recall a favorite spot down below, and how a trip down the stairs will do ya good.

Aw, she's blushing. I think she likes us! I hope we can meet her again some time.

>"Don't men eat cod too?"
If another man looked at Brandubh that way, I bet he'd take it as a compliment. Lots of guys are into that sort of thing. It's not like we haven't considered it. With our friend. Not our brother. I think.

Come to think of it, how is our seafaring buddy doing? How did we meet, and how is our relationship now? Any interesting stories we can recall?

Deep breaths, don't worry about a thing for now.

Just focus on your memories.

Try to recall your family, who they are, what you have lived with them, what they taught you.

This will also help you recall common knowledge and etiquette. Family takes priority, of course, but it all ties together.

What memories do the docks evoke? did someone
you know lives in the house you passed at? >>1128970

Hey, here's somethin' to ponder
What the heck are we to you? Are we some product of the fog, an otherworldy force, or you thinking by having "others" think for ya?
Speakin' of otherworldly things, what's even the deal with Lutricalia? Why're you so needing on someone to squeeze for it? Hopefully there's more to look forward to than the women.
Other than that, though, the spider must be pretty out of place around here, yeah? Must be something to do with the captured riches from Axath and Astglith. A foreign stowaway, perhaps?

Pet/massage their adorable, adorable mousey ears.

Then ask politely who they are and what kind of assistance they need.

Ask her if she's acquainted with Debra. Everyone knows all mice know all other mice on a psionic, hivemind-like level.

She's small and adorable and looks like someone you could easily boss around by just being assertively yourself. She's perfect.

I do believe you just found yourself a sidekick, Riley.

She can be the Watson to your Holmes. The Robin to your Batman. The one little girl you forget her name to your Inspector Gadget.

Help doesn't come for free, or cheap! There's equipment costs, womanpower, crow taxes... Ask what she can compensate you with. We need wealth, favors, or other bribery.

New reader, here to offer a potential theory: What if the pickle jar contained a live venomous animal? One that was freed when the jar broke, and then stung, bit or slashed Riley while she was probing in the dark.

And the weird sensation afterwards could be attributed to venom (which could have hallucinogenic effect and be slow-acting) or a transmittable pathogen like Rabies. It could be something as mundane as Tetanus too.

If Riley continues to have weird symptoms or her physical/mental state worsens, she may need to check with a doc and get a blood test at the very least. The wound may have healed but something nasty might be in her bloodstream.

>very nearly too late, because they are already here
Ah. I think I know what you were supposed to do, BEFORE people arrived. You were supposed to prevent them from getting access to the ship's tech, either because the tech itself is dangerous, or because it would turn the cold war hot and lead to nuclear annihilation. You could do this either by dying and scuttling the ship, or by traveling somewhere else... but I think the intent was the former. You put it off because you couldn't quite do it, due to self-preservation instinct or an aversion to damaging your friend's body.
Alternatively, you were meant to prevent them from getting to a specific part of the ship, to prevent them from seeing or doing something in particular, and you didn't need to destroy the entire thing or yourself. Like I guess preventing them from getting the time travel tech specifically. Maybe it doesn't matter if they get access to the rest of the tech.

Also you probably know the language because you were monitoring the civilization, and that's what kept you going for thousands of years. You had to see the outcome of your actions. To know it was worth it.

Tell him you would like to be an advisor of some sort. Your knowledge of potential futures and potential pasts means you know a lot of different mistakes that can be made, and some successes. Also, you would like to save as many lives as possible. You have a lot to make up for.

Hmm. If you could give a powerful *defensive* technology to both sides, so that nuclear weapons couldn't be used, would

Its been so long, you could make a break from your past self. Maybe nothing you do now can make up for what you've done, but, you could try. See the world and its people.

Probably refocus on a new career.
Helping reverse-engieneer what remains of the ship would be a good use of my time, as well as further science counselling.

Or maybe something more valuable than knowledge.
Maybe sharing information about my timeline, the cause of this one forming, and how to avoid the same mistakes is the way to go.

Besides that, most likely making friends and forming a family. Bonds are as vital as anything else.

Well that's a hell of a question though honestly a good one to ask... I think something where we can build something, helping people, something that's the opposite of the destruction we may have caused.

You want to clean up this mess and as soon as all loose ends are tied up, blow this ship to smithereens so it can’t contaminate the timeline any further… but it’s best to tell them you’d like to go back to researching technologies and stuff instead. For the betterment of mankind, of course, like you always have.

Ask her if she wants to have a cock and balls again

We are trying to be subtle here...

Go on tour, continuing our tiny modifications as we go.

tell her the tour sounds lovely and ask her to lead the way.

Just remember to ask a lot of questions so she has to focus on you just as much as the tour and to keep your subtle manipulations going on her whenever she looks your way or talks to you. Once the manipulations start getting her noticeably aroused start acting like you're getting more comfortable around her and become a little more clingy. As in moments when you can't think what to talk about walk close enough for your shoulders to touch or even try and hold her hand if you think she wouldn't mind. If she tells a joke or a happy story give her a quick hug when expressing your own joy. And every time the two of you touch make the subtle pleasure rise slightly for when your touch last longer then a moment or in instances where the contact is brief give her a sharp and large amount of pleasure but make it so quick it could easily be dismissed as a trick of her mind.

Other than that go through the tour and show genuine interest in both what she's talking about and in her, be friendly and kind and show you're starting to open up to her yourself and trust her more, and never leave her side to keep the manipulations up even if she tries to distance herself from you to make it seem like she is getting hella worked up around you.

Oh and on a side note, if she ever makes any remarks or jokes about dating, hanging out, or just being around you give a small jolt of pleasure to her only slightly more noticeable then what you're doing to her normally to "encourage" these thoughts and a much sharper and stronger jolt if she ever mentions anything about sex or making out to you, while you yourself will always take such questions or remarks as her just being friendly and opening up to you to keep up the air of innocents you're trying to build up.

I’m liking what I’m hearing! Let’s also use our subtle rewards system for any time she interacts with her new flower. We’ve given her an object that she associates with us~ That object should quickly become her favorite thing, and if she gets pleasant tingles from looking at and/or touching it, that’ll certainly speed the progress along~ Gives us an extra hook to wiggle into her heart. “Ohhhh~ Why do I feel like this when I pay attention to the flower?? Do I feel the same way about… him??? *looks at us and the feeling intensifies* M-Maybe…” Every little detail counts~

I still say that, A SHRUBBERY [dramatic music] would be an excellent gift. It could have more of the same type of flower, and/or if you really wanna demonstrate your demiurge-like powers, make it somehow grow to chop down the mightiest tree in a forest, A HERRING [dramatic music]
