Let one of us lesser demons investigate and check inside the hole. Not many can see us, so we can check without getting hurt. Besides, if it’s a monster, it just means it can be an ally considering Bobbie is monster queen

Possible answers to the question asked:

A) Send Ratislav inside.

B) Send Mr. Yakbeet inside.

C) All three of you go in there at once.

D) Other suggestions.

Ratislav, and the moment you smell or hear anything alive in there you come back

C. I dunno, I kinda feel like throwing caution into the wind just this once and just have all of us go in. CHAAAAAARGE

Browse google maps (or an equivalent internet map) of the town. You can look up your school (and from there, employees/teachers), your home, your current location, clinics, public transportation (bus routes) as well as phone numbers to any of them.

You can also look up Swiss's boy scout troupe.

DO NOT look up anything sketchy like porn, this is a public area and the owner/other people can later see what was browsed, or kids might stumble on it later. It might be pre-blocked anyway.

"You thought it was a good idea when you were me!" Slime called.

>Best place for us to find a boat that we want would be at a dock or harbor.
>scout the docks. the big ships may have life boats you can use.
With Fern holding close to Silv, you walk the long stretch of coastline till you reach some docks, filled with rickety and sunken ships. Old cranes and warehouses lie along the crumbling piers.
“This stuff looks kinda… victorian to me.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s just a general… tech level and vibe I guess? Less advanced than where I’m from, but also… not. It's confusing.”

Looking around the docks you found, almost every ship has sunk into the sea, or is beached in the slimy mud with holes in their hulls. You can see more docks and ships further down the coast, but you can also try checking out the nearby buildings and warehouses. What would you like to do?

Let's check the buildings before we forget, and make sure to stay cautious.

>>1131855
Mel, what was your planet called, again?

Let's check out the warehouses. Might be some usable materials!

check the warehouses and other dock buildings. Anything that has been exposed to the weather is probably a wreck at this point but something that has been stored might still be in something approaching good condition.

Also do we have any way to cook back at camp? Those weeds might actually be useful if we could actually turn it into bread. As for how, I'd honestly be more surprised if Galena didn't know who to make flour and bake bread.

>>1131855
Anything inside might be more shielded from the elements. If there's a workshop maybe there are some partially finished boats we can patch up.

"Of course I'll help!!" You're so enthusiastic you don't ask for money.
Rummaging through your pockets you find The Ring and show it off. "Was this hers?"

The mouse clears her throat. "Nope!"

Terse. To break the silence you ask the obvious question: "If she's missing why did you come to me? I saw her yesterday at the park, she's not a ghost."

She looks left. Then she looks right. Then the mouse hops closer, whispering to you.
"I need somebody who knows about w e i r d s t u f f. Last night I went looking for her and something happened."

When she steps back she pulls your map from your pocket, or inventory, or wherever you've been keeping all this bullshit you're carrying.

"Here. A little behind our shop in the woods I saw it." The thought of it makes the mouse frown. "I don't know what exactly; it was scary! Not like any animal I know... It was walking."
The mouse shivers when she thinks about it. "I think it got her."

The place she's pointing at is not far from where you saw the ghost, on the main street.
You tell her about the ghost. "I saw a ghost there too! It was tall, really tall and looked like a horse?"

"What I saw didn't look like a horse. But if you saw a ghost then maybe I did too! Something must have happened last night; I thought we could look for clues together."



[The currently nameless mouse joins your party.]
Her big hat and coat combo buffs your waterproofing stat.

You can visit the main street any time, the woods are safe to go through during the day.
You're hungry as fuck. When you can you should really eat.

You head over to the farmer Marten’s stall.

Marten: “Bit late today Eugene. Almost sold out of your regular purchases here.”

You sigh in relief, asking if he’s saved any broccoli or spinach for you. His nose twitches with disgust.

Marten: “Whole square’s been hounding me for it. The appeal of such foul greens is beyond me. Rather a nice farm chicken or a wild jay myself. Surely there’s more you feed on than this Eugene?”

You explain that every species has different needs to sustain themselves, but no. Another farm sources the more meaty meals for dinner. The Hatchet’s farm is a bit more specialized- Oh…seems from that scowl you’ve offended Marten.

Marten: “You lubber-hammering striped stain! After all the Bushlows do to provide for you. To have such gall as to turn your nose in disgust at us.”

Spinach and corn seem reasonable. You can shuckle the corn after sundown if need be, or just roast it. The peach is pricy but you might be able to make peach-scented soap, or make her majestys clothes smell peachy.

Gotta train hard and vigorously. And maybe experiment a little for science. See how absurd the glamour anatomy can get - swole Gaybe with huge knockers, bubble butt and multiple horsecocks! Or just 'Gabby'.

Also important to teach the otherwise tail-less bugs how to use their glamour tails to optimal effect, and their magic for sex (binding tentacles and such).

Are the changelings able to swap the person they're imitating easily/flexibly, or is it a lengthy process of adapting to a new 'mask'? While they are ideally suited to their current forms, it might be helpful if they can swap on demand or be cross-taught.

“Wait a minute…” Gabe stands up and grabs his double by the shoulders. “You can use gate magic… that means we have two senders.”

“Yes?” Gaybe responds. He watches as gears tick away in the mouse’s brain and a smile spreads across his face.

Gabe’s voice is low and intense, “That means we meet the margin of safety.”

The doppelgänger’s eyes widen and he asks, “Uh, excuse me? What does that mean?”

“It means: you want to become me, right? You want to be Gabriel Wikk?” The sender leans closer, his smile stretching wider by the moment. “That means you need to become a legend. It means we’re going sky-fucking!”

“Really? Are you sure, Gabe?” Casey asks, suddenly concerned.

Rather than responding, the mouse pulls his copy into an embrace and starts making out with him. “Mmmmmm~ Mmm-hmmm!” He nods, tongue deep inside the changeling’s mouth. They tangle together before Gabe pulls them both backwards onto the bed. “Oh Fates, I need you in me right now…”

“Is he okay?” Kasey asks her original.

Casey sighs and nods. “He’s living his dream. Gabe’s always been a bit in love with himself; he’s just never been able to fuck himself until now.”

Oh, like you wouldn't be similarly happy to play someone equally smart in a game of your choosing... or to see just how far the two of your shapeshifting skills can go.

The way Fey rate experiences, quality and uniqueness and spectacle and more, Gaybe will probably enjoy the Sky Fucking just as much as Gabe. Poor Kasey might have to deal with an adrenaline junky team mate like we do.

Well then.

We got this, what's the plan?

The mech could provide cover while one of you approaches. Then when the tank does its initial barrage the other comes in

This gun looks bad news, but its weekness is probably elevation. Throw a missile at its missile racks and is that doesn't take it out, try jumping over the tank to strike its behind.

It starts tracking, Tien opens fire with Frontline to let you get a chance at one of the missile racks with your own. Damage is minor but the heat can be felt from the plasma blaster.

You raise your new shield, built from the recovered tech of the Red Mask arm you grabbed.

Next action?

Overload the cannon with weapons fire. If you can destroy it in time, it'll take out the missile launcher. Don't waste time destroying the rest if it can't fight back, you're on the clock here.

The only thing I can think of to stop her in her tracks is to say something really shocking???

B. Best way to do this is to have one of them do the laundry so that Vikta can dress properly. two birds one stone.

A! Food is a quick path to soothing emotional troubles! Failing that then you could just threaten to ground them.

Okay seriously you need birth control.

Why can't you buy a gamestation from the local intergalactic shopping hub?

Glad to know upsettingly-named cereal is a universal standard.

Honestly? Combination of A, B, C, and E:

>>1131784

Yeah, for real, though I fear that Vikta would spend all his time in front of the thing, and then we'd have to hear it from the others and the inevitable, "mom said it's MY turn on the gamestation!" turning into a whole ordeal.

D: There will be groundings for everyone if everyone doesn't start acting civilized.

hmm feeling more inclined to some secrecy here.. 2!

Secret Swimming Spot: ugh, would be so lewd to see Tineola in a swimsuit if we let her know of the secret swimming spot... but we gotta keep it a secret for Saiorse to relax in (and see her in a skimpy swimsuit).
And I'm sure Naomi would want a spot to be alone from Samantha and her nagging.

as for the lens, keep it a secret from Tineola, its a secret to you and (mostly) you alone.

2, as consolation for not having laces. But be quick about it, she might eat you out of shop if left alone for too long (though you can charge her if she eats too much. $) just get a plate with the samples. Be sure to ask for a critique, not just on taste, but mainly how it feels, like texture and thickness and other things.

Bah, secrets are too much work.

Spread the secret, let them both know. Too many secrets will weigh you down, so it wouldn't hurt to share some of the more harmless ones like this. Just ask them not to spread it around too much.

And 2, distract Tineola with fabrics while Samantha does her work.

Use the monocle to see if the moth’s even wearing anything under that dress.

Inspect the HANDSOME HUNK POSTER near you.

Are you still 'invisible' inside of someone's mind, or can they now actually see and properly interact with you? Might want to go incognito (act like a beach enjoyer, tourist, beach prop or one of those people who serve fancy drinks to rich people at beaches).

>>1131701
>>1131712

If we spook/scare them too much, they'll be startled awake and we'll get ejected! We also don't know if they can manually eject us via lucid dreaming or such.

Looks like they're having a dream about being royal, rich or otherwise luxuriously pampered instead of working a day job (relatable). We can work with this if we play along!

Pretend to be a personal butler/servant, someone who needs their password/code authorization, or the code signed on a document so they can finalize an order for something ridiculously luxurious, expensive or enjoyable. Getting them 'drunk' might also help.

"Monsieur, we have ordered the champagnie fountain, super-yacht, solid gold statue and Japanese-style hot spring full of 'amorous masseurs' as per yesterdays request. We just need your five-digit code to finalize the purchase and they will arrive within ze hour."

If the manager starts to suspect you're not supposed to be here, you could lie that you were supposed to be a nightmare where all the data on their computer gets deleted, but that it's your first day on the job and couldn't get past their genius password. Maybe they'll pity you.

I believe we have erred.

Apologize to the Boob Priestess for thinking she was a fake. There's no doubt that such a bountiful set of boobs are the real thing. What's it like for her, carrying such a heavy burden?

We could still do lewd things if she wants. Or does she have another quest for us? We've got a request from the Dick Priest for her. Does she know him?

She seems to be a natural sub. We can use this! Boob-carry her to the Dick Shrine and wedge Dick Priest in between!

"No time to explain, we need your help for a HOLY QUEST!"

Also, be gentle with those snipples. Give em a smooch.

Inquire about the chains that the princess has. Wouldn't they leave a mark on such a delicate creature? Also, ask the bat if she would be interested in getting a painting from us. We should try to get on her good side.

Seems her gesture is saying 'the kings service means you have to become a blue-eyed revenant'. That's absolutely a bad idea. Though helping Thomas against Pietro through courtly shenanigans could help both Thomas and the Duchess. But that's a plan for later.

Yes, asking her about the... Arts... In this place would be a good topic of conversation. You might have to learn or adapt a form or art that doesn't involve murder if you're forced to stick around.

Also could ask a bit about brother Juan. You are unfamiliar with the religion(s) or faith(s) practiced in Malevento, and how... Tolerant the kingdom is about such matters. Having to 'convert' to a faith or abandon your beliefs might be required or demanded.

The butterfly being 'bewitching' sounds iffy. Either there are bugfolk who keep trying to reclaim her (or force her into the act), or she coerces other folk into unsuccessfull rescue attempts.

And from the sounds of things, she's too 'delicate' to puppet or reanimate by force, but also too pretty to kill off.

Ask about 'Espania'. Is the 'kingdom' at war with that place and its people, to have its princess held against her will here?

>>1131680
looks like we gotta talk to the butterfly next. ask her what happens if someone never returns to the court. do they search for them? or presume them dead?

So that butterfly is clearly Lady Icktechi, who the moth priestess and the beetles are trying to rescue. The priestess foresaw us ending up in this situation, the princess is going to be our ticket out of it. We need to find out as much as we can about her, figure out how to get close to her, and decide what we're going to say to earn her trust. Getting her out of here will not be easy, but it's going to be our overarching objective now that we're here.

In the meantime, I agree with asking Allonza about Malevento's history, arts, culture, and society. Dive into it, press her on little details. The more we push at the limits of whatever fabricated backstory Cadvere has come up with for them, the more it might strain his control over their minds.

We also might ask her a few questions about Cadvere himself. After all, it only stands to reason you would want to know about the illustrious monarch you will soon be working under, and all of his glorious deeds. You've heard rumors he's some kind of miracle worker, is that true? (Don't be afraid to lay it on thick here; if Cadvere is as much of a manchild as he seems, he's almost assuredly also a narcissist, and so obsequious flattery will be the best way to get him to lower his guard and possibly spill his secrets.)

Eh? didn't you bring us here? Not sure who's in charge of that then.

Are you sure you didn't want us here to listen to your troubles? sounds like you've had it rough.

Oh dear, having a hard time are we? You look as though you just had a flashback. I’ve seen that look before, it’s the look of man remembering when he was tortured, remembering his pain. Want to discuss it? It’s not like I’m going anywhere.

We can't, you're too interesting now. It's like trying not to think about something, you'll think it anyway. Either you drown it out or live with our tinnitus-sounds. Or Essence shifts our attention from you.

Anywho, have some questions.

1) You remember yourself as a scraper in the hands of an old sailor, fixing a ship or dock? That a metaphor or somehow literal? Given Corax looks like a set of pliers, I'm assuming y'all are sentient metal tools.

2) Who is Ana or Essence?

3) Why do you need to specifically shoot Corax in the head? What happens if you don't?

B) Show Eezeryh some love by picking out the best science bug accesories

D) I mean when else are you gonna

A/d, tilde-ly.

A, e

B normally, A lewdly

She’s opening up bit by bit, let’s give Eez some nice bling! Some hoops hanging around those head spikes of hers might look nice if she ever wanted some extra flare, like how mammals wear earrings… just without the piercing part, probably. Make ‘em sparkly!

Also, those goggles might be a little dirty after all this time, maybe she could use a different set of eyewear for a while? She’ll probably fight us on that one, though…

As for yourself, uh, yeah, thigh highs. Those are real good.

B or c. Most people probably won't even care that much of they walk in on it, she's practically naked and he's literally naked already and nobody notices because of their species.

>Questions
If she likes bottomless and he likes titties, what do they both think of crotchboobs?

Stand's blade swings up as the tree falls, meeting and breaking through its trunk in the momentum.

Blessedly, the tree doesn't continue moving, falling to motionless wood as soon as the Captain's blade is clear.

That wasn't really all that bad, was it?

After that first attack, the remaining trees are little threat, and the three of you manage to stop their assault without much further incident. You're all scratched up, and you're sure you'll be developing some interesting new bruises overnight, but you're all more or less intact, allowing you and your companions a moment to catch your breath.

Is there anything you would like to do before you retire for the night?

Yeah! Take that, nature!

>anything else to do?
I don't think we've done an inventory check. What kind of supplies do we have?

Chop ALL the nearby trees out of paranoia. Use the remaining time to set up a split-log cabin.

So was this a regular tree attack or do they think the enemy is on to them?
