Zaibatsu Mint starts touching the naked body of Hanako.

Zaibatsu Mint: "Your body, it is so durable. All that it managed to endure and still keep going is impressive."

Hanako: "Thank you, my mistress, it took a lot of dedication and training to become what I am."

Zaibatsu Mint shows two fingers in the pussy of Hanako.

Zaibatsu Mint: "And look at this, you didn't even flinch. Even my strongest guards aren't strong enuff to resist the effect of this attack, but you can endure it."

Hanako: "I do still feel its effect, but I am better at repressing it, that is all."

Zaibatsu Mint: "If the rest of my people were as capable as you are, this palace would become truly undefeatable. Go through this door, and it will lead me to my private chambers. Your fox can follow you to its entrance since she is carrying all the other stuff that you ended."

Hanako: "Thank you for your kindness. That fox means a lot to me."

As Hanako and Mori Tsurugi entered the door, it led them through a long hallway, and they started a whispering conversation.

Mori Tsurugi: "We are making good progress, but what was the point of kissing the Whipsalot? What do you even gain from doing that? And not to mention your statement that you look forward to playing with more of them, they are your opponents, and you should wish that they all end up imprisoned for all their crimes. They don't deserve anything better."

Hanako: "We have more pressing matters to think about than that one kiss."

Mori Tsurugi: "Don't you dare dismiss my concern. I do not want you to feel pity for any one of them or for you to go easy on them. If they figured out what the two of us were doing, you would end up in the same position as any other fox prironer or even worse. So answer me why did you have the NEED to kiss her and don't lie to me."



A) I felt sorry for her.

B) I felt affection towards her.

C) There is no reason for the kiss, stop asking me about it.

Mori are you jealous that you didn't get kissed. As for why we kissed the defeated foe is to establish good relationships with them. So that we can show them that we can take better care of them then what Mint is doing with the whol current cruel presentation of their defeated bodies. If there are going to be more enemies with these magical protections then maybe the 6 enforces could be valuable allies than just locking them up. We believe in redemption, isn't the current girlfriend of Hanak also the previously defeated enemy.

You owe them more money than you'll ever see in a thousand lifetimes. There's no working that off, there's only a legal whip allowing them to force you to work for them for free until you die.

Animal videos! Building a birdhouse is interesting, but you might get too absorbed into it when you're just trying to pass time. The spooky ghost video looks like a clue to something we shouldn't worry about at the moment. Cute animals are always fun.

But also set a timer first if you've got one. That way you can be sure you won't be late.

the ghost video will either be AI slop which might be good for a laugh, a shitpost which could be good for a laugh, or maybe someone saw your robber. If the video isn't to long maybe give it a peek and we'll let you know if it's the same guy that we saw last night or not. Then maybe the bird house video if for no other reason then to give yourself something to think about throughout the day that won't give you stress.

Ghost videos feel like they will help the most with the current mystery.

I am not trying to force you to do anything that you are not comfortable doing. But on the other hand I believe that having someone to talk with other then us might be beneficial to you psychological well-being. You talk differently to your family and to your friends. I just want to see you happy and not worried all the time, you deserve better than what you are getting right now.

animal videos. You deserve to chill with cute aminals and not concern ourselves about the robber.

Get some healing magic for Gaybe, in case he's... Drained and sore from Nixxy's affection. He'll need to be in tip top shape for the morning.

Another fun/lucrative idea could be using the changelings as personal spies within the Court. Send coded letters or other info of what happens on the barge and such, or if they're planning something sinister and big that could affect the mice trio - so long as they don't break hospitality rules doing so.

What pronouns do changelings / insectoid shapeshifters utilize exactly?

“We’re going to need to talk to ‘Gaybe’ too anyway. Might as well head upstairs.” Kol says, toweling himself off.

The mice get dressed and the three of them head upstairs to find Nixxy still toying with the exhausted doppelgänger.

“Ahh! Good! You back! Help Gaybe! She gonna break my chitin!” The thief gasps.

“Alright, Nixxy. That’s enough fun. Fennel needs your help, okay?” Casey insists.

As if some switch were flipped, the big kelpie drops her “toy” and clambers out of bed to her girlfriend’s side. ”Nixxy help! What we doing?”

Pinch 'gaybe' on the ear and remind him he's supposed to have a piercing there

>>1128887
This plan might work.

Provided that the angels don't have any detection methods or equipment that can see through changeling magics, that would be my sole concern.

>>1128887
Tell Gaybe he could just say no if Nixxy was doing something he didn't like.
But also, we have a mission for him and his two compatriots. It involves them being honored Fey Guests for an entire year! They just have to pretend to be you three. Like he was doing already. We'll help with the disguise so it's flawless.

Main comm system - through which Branu initially called - seems to be primarily telepathic, and controls are back on the bridge.
Possibly the nightcraft's skin has chromatophores which are currently nonfunctional due to malnutrition.

As for what you can do from here... these polyspectral active scanners aren't meant for communication, but could certainly be used for such. Might even be able to project holograms. But, for tightly focusing visible light on something less than thirty meters away, using just one of the sensor tusks, you'd basically need to do brain surgery on parts of the phased-array control circuitry.

Even with Reiko's help, don't bet on finishing such a refit in less than an hour.

As for more expedient options... could phase through at the contact point. Five glowglobes (two each from your and Paprika's go-bags, plus the fancy permanent one) should include enough different colors to work out an intelligible pidgin semaphore. If locals already think you're a divine messenger bearing extraordinarily good news, hopefully they'll listen to whatever else you have to say, and put up with some inconvenience in the formatting.

If they're implacably hostile, could simply turn around and come back, or maybe outflank some force that's trying to board through the front door.

Door is crusted over with ice, right? Ideally I would like to close the doors and avoid more boarders joining the current mess. Is that something that seems feasible to do by herself and/or with the assistance of the giant and co? Next thought is to try and free paprika and get her to help clear the doors.
If it seems plausible to clear the door, she'd be willing to break cover and signal herself as an ally to the giants group, but ideally she'd maintain as much of the element of stealth as she could.

Despite being caught more than a little off-guard by the request and everything else that's happening, Paprika manages to come back with a dreamy "Oh Nat...I thought you'd never ask." Dancing in such an awkward space with an invisible partner presents an interesting challenge, but Paprika is a consummate professional. She carefully lifts and guides Nat around any obstacles and ends with a mostly-graceful tumble that leaves the two lying on the floor together.

Reiko groans off-comms. "Whyyy..."

So: Either the 'immigrants' can't hear her or they don't speak Trade, their challenge rating is higher than anything the team can take, Branu might get angry if Reiko throws them out into space, or might get angrier if she doesn't...
Cricket has gone missing, while Natalina (who ironically hasn't gone missing because she's invisible) and Paprika are too busy doing the hanky panky and turning their psychological issues around.

And now all her favorite snacks are soggy.
Wonderful.

Reiko (still linked) directs the ship AI to 'jiggle' the iced-up doors with a combination of pseudo-physics designed to crush multi-form polymorphic crystalline structures, especially since the surrounding 'liquid water' is highly oxygenated somehow. If she can get control back to the doors, maybe she could try out a Binary code by having the door open-and-shut at specific intervals to communicate at a distance. Or just lock the doors, blast off, and call this expedition a bust.

C) You screamed of the splinter, not realizing that doing so doomed the town even more than poisoning the water supply.
The galactic corporations saw how much oil there was in this little zit of a town and they insisted on cleaning every last drop from the river... and cleaned out the townsfolk in the process.
The corps gave you enough money to live forever. Your town stole all the pride and respect in your heart with their venomous blame.

I don't think Rosary's moving around like that. You have the pickaxe and the axe, too. I guess if needed you could tie her up a bit.
Lana, though, is she coming around?

Leave something heavy on her legs, like that box of dynamite. It won't exacerbate her injuries since her legs are fine, and if she tries to move it, Kaari can stab her before she has time to get loose.

>Pickford: “Course, that leaves you alone with her… Shoot.”
We can probably use a minecart to wheel her out of here with him. Is there one nearby? Meanwhile you'll stay with Lana and wait for the wheelchair, you'd rather not have to sit with that scary bear after what she put you through.

Maybe he's inviting Romans to the shrine

Tell the goblin that it's so nice that he's offering to paint the shrine in scripture - and so insufferable that he misspells his Latin. Which is why you're going to force him to do it another 100 times, in different sizes, and be sure to paint across every inch of the wall.

>>1128707
Wait, I just realized something. The Butt Priestess didn't exactly specify what she hates about the Dick Shrine or what she wants us to fix about it. We just kind of assumed she wants the graffiti cleaned off, but maybe she hates the shrine itself and wants it covered or something. Might want to clear that up before we commit to a plan.

They are wearing your same clothes?

Um..ask Simone and Uberto if they know whether the identity theft victims are people who entered the well. It might be the clones come into existence when someone arrives in this world.

It definitely feels like going that way is a bad idea. Let's investigate from a safe distance and leave if it looks like we angered something.

Otherwise you've been nothing but genuine to her. Does she not believe your Martinets have been fused to the wall? That's what you wanted her help with, right? Does she think you're hiding the fact that the toilers are revolting, due to overzealous labor extraction on part of the mongers? Because I think she can see that from all the collapsed mines.

I can’t imagine she does.
…
It’s ridiculous to even consider. How would she even know?
………
Unless… could she already have spies among the mercenaries? No, that’s silly. I only just learned of their location how would she have embedded a spy? Regardless, it’s not even been an hour since I switched my eye from the toiler to the valkin. Even if Silver had managed to infiltrate their ranks to learn what happened to her patsy and assuming the spy would be aware of why she would matter at all there hasn’t been enough time for her to receive that information. It’s conceivable through magic but again I can only conclude ‘no’. I certainly don’t watch through her eye very often but I’ve never seen even a hint that she’s dabbled in such heresy with her own hands or through an intermediary. It would be too big a weakness if Steel learned of it and wanted to depose her. Maybe-

>Because I think she can see that from all the collapsed mines. She doesn't know you have an eye on her, does she?

Im torn over you.
I admire your abandoned goal to tear this place down, i even admire just aiming to gain your own freedom.
But, im not happy about poor asher.
That said, theres more than you to blame for how it went.

There is something ive noticed were significantly better than you at.
Maybe its because were not trying to keep so many plates spinning, but we havent missed any words like you do when lip reading through your eyes.

Oh, and your faith in numbers over technology is, unfortunately, as naive as your dream of tearing down the mountain.
Weapons are called force multipliers for a reason.
And it gives asymettrical warfare a distinct advantage.
The tip of their spear will be small enough to slip into places larger forces would falter and be murderously sharp, so to speak.
I dont say this to cause you undue distress. Well.
Maybe a little, because im still grumpy about asher, but not much.

In the same way your dream of tearing down the mountain was tempered by experience into something more acheivable...
Right now, you are as inexperienced in facing weapons like these as younger self was the realities of life in your mountain.
And, its worth remembering, technology develops with the pace of a rockslide, especially under the motivation of war.
Little bits at first, a percievable quicker slide of larger things... then before you can react a rumble and youre crushed.
Well, worth considering, eh?

No dice. Been trying to convince this fella to change his mind about his deeds and self all morning.
So far, he is deciding whether his stance should be "I don't care" and "Maybe I should start hating that Asher girl since you won't shut up about her."

C'est la mort, or whatever it is they say.

So!
I suppose we should discuss strategy with Silver on what to do while we wait for the Preceptors to gather.
Also, probably check back on what Steel and Haddik are doing right now, if we have the time.

>my mo- mentor.
D'awww! You almost said it.
Let's hope she feels the same way.
Who knows, she may even arrange for your exile instead of your execution if you get caught!

A raincoat, if you have one. The one available is whatever color you'd find most embarrassing, though.
Maybe jeans. Boots. Maybe an umbrella, though that takes a hand.

Uh... are your boobs smaller?

Swipe some clothes from Grant’s dresser. It’s about time you wear something not so itchy and smelly, and avoid another day of doing laundry. Be sure to get clothes from the bottom of the pile too, so he doesn’t notice it missing right away.

Yep yep.
Its the considerate thing to do cause he would put his least favorite at the bottom.

Check hand bite.
Need to make sure its not infected.

a cheap plastic poncho, picked up at a yard sale. it had the logo for some log flume ride at some park you've never heard of, but mostly that wore off years ago.

The mouse follows your gaze "Ah your companion? She's not- well, she's not injured. S-surren she just needs rest." He gives you a pat on the shoulder, faltering as you turn your sullen glare to him. "And just who is this... lord?" you growl, shoving the skin back in his hands.

The mouse's face breaks into a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Why the lord God of course! I should introduce myself; I am the humble Brother Juan, friar of the Franciscan order. Allow me to bless you." The mouse lays a hand over your head and leans to whisper in your ear "Play along and you'll survive."

"Now" Brother Juan steps back "If you are asking after who's house you find yourself in, that would be King Pendle Cadvere of the principality of Malevento. He is eager to meet you, and formalize your surrender. If you feel up to it I could help you there." the friar (whatever that is) offers his hand.

>>1128255
Nothing to do but cooperate until you see a chance to do something. Especially with your wounded back. You need rest.

Ask him if the king can understand your language.

Prolong things as much as you can. Say you will need to rest and pray for the others that are not with you before making any decisions of surrender.

Nod in agreement, good thing that this cage priest didn't lose it completely.

It's probably not that you're out of the loop and more that you were never in it. Hard to tell your human friend about the mounting anti-human sentiment that's starting to become popular.
Oh wait, that means none of your friends wanted to be the one to break it to you, which means they don't actually care about you that much. That's rough, buddy.

The real problem is that you got spotted by an anti-human student, and thus can't even ask them to keep quiet about it. Which means if you don't want this to cause trouble for you then you're gonna need to rely on those friends.

> Most of the time she'd be studying though. Point being, she never had opinions like that. Or if she did, she never got so angry like that.
yeah see, like I said personal problem projection. At a guess, she's putting in the effort at school, but not seeing the success she feels she should be. And when she sees you, not putting in as much effort but still doing okay, she gets mad.

And if other people looking for scapegoats to blame their problems on are grumbling about humans then no wonder she would pick up on that.

But hey, Soro'i seems like she gets it. Ask her for more details, she'll give it to you straight.

Sounds like someone is going for a power play. As in someone is trying to stir shit up to create a problem and then offer a “solution” to get people to join them. In this case start up anti-human movement so they can present themselves as a strong so and so who will stand up to human oppression. You know the humans, the ones who helped them found a new planet to live on after be lost in space for who knows how long and helped them build up said new planet. You know the humans, who have been forcing their way of life on these people despite the fact that they’re basically nonexistent on the planet and outside of some franchises trying to set up shop to get money I can’t really see having any real impact on the local culture as not enough humans live here to have any real impact.

Basically what I’m saying is someone is starting shit since not enough time has passed for any real bad blood to form between the apes and the birds so this is either a phase that has popped up like goths or greasers or some jackass causing problems to gain attention or power if they’re involved with politics.

Sounds like something your dad should know about...
