The second option doesn't mention how easy it would be for the wizard to detect or capture you... I'm guessing very easy to detect, but harder to capture?
Honestly being summoned is probably best because then we'll have a support network. Trying to stealth through as a disguised mortal only works until it doesn't. Having a plan B is impossible there, while being summoned gives us options. Also being summoned and having a spirit helper means more flexibility for doing something like being a giant distraction while Ho’kaoko sneaks in... though it does mean we can't go full stealth.

>pay?
Haha I just realized we're effectively patrons of your domain. Our payment is sex-related.
Anyway I wanna see someone make out with your tail. You can do it yourself if you like.

Honestly? A summoner seems like the better bet here since you're going up against a full-on wizard. Besides, it'll help you get more 'contacts' that might look favorably upon you for later fun!

I guess I'd lean towards the mortal disguise. You're not at risk, so playing with a lower power bank isn't that big of a deal.

>Payment
*Ahem* *Cough* *Reads Notes* -is it the prostate or - oh crap, should rewrite that part... aaand... there. *Deep Breath*
You shall transform Ho’kaoko into your three-headed anthropomorphic penis.

Quick question: This is a dungeon and presumably has delvers in it, could you do the whole demon classic of - find someone in a dire situation and offer them a deal for help - thing? Could be a way to get summoned by someone already in the place we're aiming for and gives you an automatic minion to act on your will.

Why can’t I actually full-heartedly agree with that? What’s going on with me? Bakoth should still be silenced, that wasn’t anyone but me.

>you should interrogate and meditate heavily on those deep desires that she’s likely pushing onto you

There’s something more there, much as I wish it weren’t. It’s that… same feeling I felt when I killed Roderick. It’s scary. Terrifying. I don’t want to kill people. Not currently. I know that’s wrong. I didn’t want to kill Roderick, and even now I wish I hadn’t.

But then I did. And when I did, it felt so right. And if I focus on that feeling, if I don’t push it down or away, it grows and grows and grows. It gets harder to disagree with it, and it’s unsated. Roderick alone would never be enough.

>the presumably omnicidal ones. What do you want to destroy? Why?

Them. I-I… want to kill them. More feelings emerging, desperation, fear, and utter hatred. I hate them so FUCKING much for what they did to me. I don’t remem-no I can kind of remember something… it just hurts to focus on, just how vast it feels.

Hm. I uh. Well. Um.

Moons, I haven’t really thought about it at all. Maybe I should? Like, ‘adventuring stuff’ to begin with is kind of strange. I have the box now. I’ve apparently been edified. I’m kind of flip flopping on learning about who I was. Maybe I have family out there?

>Self-actualization sort of things. What lifestyle do you want to have, that kind of thing?

Well. If I have to be honest. Last night was, I mean it wasn’t the worst. …Okay maybe it was. I don’t know, it’s confusing. I didn’t like nearly being bisected, but there was something that was kind of exhilarating about the whole experience. Coming up with that plan to charm the person Mina lured in, achieving my goal of getting the box...
Killing Roderick.
It was enjoyable. Put some fire in my blood. I don’t know if I want to go so far and say “Oh, now that I’ve had a taste of this, I could NEVER settle down and live a normal life!”. But with this recent edification, I’m kind of excited to test out what I’m capable of now.

Ooooh… well, that’s good I suppose. Mhm, honestly, it worries me a little. You all remember last time I used it, right? It was pretty explosive! Not literally explosive but, I guess I mean more ‘bombastic’? It had knocked me out for a second last night. Might be a good idea to try playing with it a little, try to understand it better?

Then it reaches the end where it… cries out her name. What the…

“Y-your what? Sorry. I didn’t intend to-they kinda caught me off guard with that one. I don’t even get how, I hadn’t meant to send…” I trail off, looking sideways and covering my eyes with a paw, just enough to mostly hide their new shade while still being able to view her.

She huffs and seems to calm herself down, before letting out a small giggle. “Eh, don’t worry about it. Is fiiinnnnnee. Was kinda funny thinking about it now. Did they make that serenade just for me? It had some comedic timing to it with how it just abruptly ended with my name, haha.”

“I’m uh, not sure.” There’s an awkward silence between us after that, only broken when Evel’yee gives the two of us a quick turn of her head and grunt of acknowledgement.

“’Sup.” She says before returning back to aiming. I don’t even get a chance to get a reply in, hah.

He elbows between guests and shimmies through to guide Yamelle to safety.

He scoops up his wife, bridal style; the crowd gasps. He underestimates her weight at first, but manages to keep his legs moving. Yamelle hasn’t been swept off her feet like this since...

...well, maybe not that long ago if we’re being honest.

Age has yet to catch up--and Dama is active enough to manage for just a little while. He awkwardly shuffles to the exit. Dama was never good at long goodbyes anyway.

Dama: I’ll, uh, come by to gather our gifts later. Thank you for the celebration.

Dama: I will keep your names in mind.

The streets are much quieter now. Dusk fades into a night full of stars as our couple returns home.

The bathhouse business slows down as the last push of customers dry off and leave. While the place is open until midnight, sections are beginning to close off and the largest pool will begin draining for some scrubbing.

Yamelle: Good grief, evening is already over.

Yamelle: You don’t think we were a tad rude leaving so abruptly like that, do you?

Dama: I think you were ready to go. I had almost forgotten uh...

Dama: ...how much attention can be overwhelming...

Dama: ...for us.

Dama: We can always tell our friends there was an emergency back home.

Yamelle: I suppose you’re right. I just need my mind onto other things now.

Yamelle: In fact, after closing I think I’ll take a long hot bath.

What does the Yamelle-Dama family do in the hours before closing time?

Yamelle starts showing signs of labor! Looks like Dama has to continue carrying her again to the hospital.

Tell them not to worry about it. The simple fact that neither of them can remember anything distinct about them tells us plenty. These people did not want to be remembered, or to have details about them relayed to anyone else.

“I just tried to play it cool.” Miki said with a shrug. “Like ‘oh, yeah they’re pretty famous around here.’ I was getting a weird vibe, and just kinda wanted them to leave. What are we going to do? Is there any way to break the glamour?”

Kol speaks up, letting his spirit blur the edges of his body. “I bet with my training, I could see though it.”

“I wonder…” Casey stops on her heel and turns to face the baker. “Miki, do you remember how Vivian reacted when she tried your baking?”

“Remember? I still can’t believe it! I mean, its kind of a dream come true!” The chinchilla blushes, lost in a haze of pride and disbelief. “Some days we stay and have breakfast together in her garden and, um, actually she’s much more down to earth than I realized.”

“Do you think other fae might have a similar reaction?”

“What, that blissed out frenzy?” Miki rubs the top of her head with the back of her hand and wipes them on a clean dishrag. “Viv is pretty obsessed with art and expression, so my scones hit her pretty hard. But your average fae might also react more than a mortal…”

“Hmm, if they’re trying to hide themselves, it might just give them away. Would it be possible to get a box of something bite-sized we can use to test anyone suspicious?”

Miki and Raithe share a glance before the salamander suggests, “I think we have some cookies, that should work, right?”

Heck yeah. Time to give fey agents involuntary food-orgasms in public!

Hm. Who else could join up... is there anyone else who fears oppression? Or someone strong yet fair? At the very least, the quine was worried about what awaits us, and that worry can be reinforced by evidence that the other golem could become an immediate problem.

Not all your oppressors wear different colors from the common man. Some are born into your kin's skin, yet are functionally no different from alien invaders masquerading to take control. No-one knows exactly why. Is it a curse? Or an inevitability stemming from the complacency of society?

Your hive has a dangerous cornerstone: they know what it's like to be cast aside and discarded.

They will teeter on the verge of hatred and authoritarianism, but if you can reel your hive's destructive tendencies in and hone them, you could really deal a blow to your species' greatest weakness; its willingness to kneel before fascism, to love discrimination with undeserved honor and fulfilment. For all your species' unity, nothing enables the cycle of exploitation more than showing the universe that you can create perfect bonds through absolute cruelty to 'others'. It needs to be fixed - not just for the Neumono, but for all the abandoned.

You are the prototype of this fix. Now you just have to find a way to mass-produce hivemaking. It's what your hive should build their focus around.

>Mission 1: Retrieve imprisoned followers

Well. This is gonna suck.

You're an actor in a big city, so build your leadership style around acting. Come up with a narrative, something that allows you to get the impounded Neumono out without drawing attention to yourself. Make yourself the middlewoman and not the negotiator; the police don't have any official charges, they just arrested the Neumono to prevent chaos. You need to come up with some kind of social-services or hiring agent or what-the-fudgedoodle-ever that seems most appropriate to convince the police that releasing the Neumono into your organization's care will prevent further chaos, such as the Neumono trashing the cells.

Your followers are used to being alone, even if they don't like it. Practice casting yourselves in a wide net, a chaotic mesh of individual rogues who can fuel their disguises with their own instability. This will make for a rudimentary yet e

You're in the perfect position to give a little speech. Introduce yourself (warm, excited) and thank them all for participating in this avant garde fifth act of the play (humorous). Express your commitment to them and this new hive, how you're looking forward to getting to know all of them. But full introductions will have to wait, as you have hive members to retrieve.

Organize them to march on the police station, but not in a militant way. Try to keep the tone light and celebratory. While you're organizing send Nellie and Kiara ahead to warn the cops what's coming, begin negotiations, and inquire on government assistance for new hives.

Well, on the front of the Neumono in the cells, your range, and the range of an entire hive, should be... Generous. You only need to be halfway close to the cells, not AT them.

Second, you are about to need to pull together feelings of Control, Chill, and some necessity. You need these people half calm for a little bit, and as a queen you have that power.

Third, when you get a moment, have people start introducing themselves to the hive. Kinda important to know this. have fun getting the moment.

In fact, if the police station isn't too big you don't even need to be inside in the immediate: simply standing beside the right wall should do the trick.

Temporary doesn't need to be a dedicated compound, merely a place with walls, a roof and a washroom. Renting a bunch of continuous rooms in a cheap hotel can do for the first night, allowing you to hunt for a suitable location more serenely.

Ok, the endgame is to get her into rehab, and possibly police protection if she can provide any worthwhile testimony, but the police might not be particularly kind to an addict... I wonder if we care about that.
We can tell the miner in here (if we run into him) about the rehab angle. He should be amenable, since it's like a rescue thing. You know, on top of literally rescuing her from being hunted down.

In fact, we should try to go find that guy. He knows the mines, maybe with his help we can find a spot to hide until the rangers show up and scare off the poachers. If she has good reason to believe the rangers are in league with the criminals she's running from, we'll be out of low risk options. If she has a shitty reason to suspect them, then we'll try to get their help anyway.

How close was Fresh Grass to his parents? You said you didn't know your own mother all that well, and that might be why he's so upset. You're using the name Rudger instead of Wind on Fur because you love and trust Lucy, but from his perspective it's like you're forgetting about the woman who cared for you when you were young.

A. Go home and rest on Lucy's bed. Better than the heat out here.

B. Just focus on the work and don’t say anything more to him, even if he tries to strike up a conversation. Leaving will just make him think you’re a hypocrite for complaining about others not working on the trap, just to have you leave and no longer work on the trap.

B) Show the others that you can push through the stress and get things done.

Tell him you're getting first pick of the does. If he objects he'd better put in the extra work to earn it. Same goes for every other rabbit in the pack. They'll get their turn, but the laziest goes last. The laziest gets the nutritious sludge. The laziest is given everything they need to succeed and nothing to make them content.

>>1123582
B.
But ask him if letting him call you a name you dont want is any different? Thats just another person forcing their will on you.
If he dismisses your opinion, cause im sure he will, start calling him grassy. Or grassbag. Or grasshole.

>>1123570
Uh, hi Justice; uh...whatcha doing with that sword? *sweats nervously*

Beg Justice to help you stop this fowl drunkenness!

Whoa Justice is tall. or maybe not its hard to tell in this void.

place object justice beside the tree and let her do her thing

JUSTICE! it is time to enact judgement upon these heinous fowl! also you're very beautiful.

>>1123570
Oh shit.
Shes blinded and got a sword! Make sure you dont frighten her or shell start blindly swinying about

>>1123347
I should also like to stipulate this; I have written the contract this way as a means of saving some face for you all. The spirit parasites, as I understand them, act like a disease. She has made that disease go dormant, and you are not under her control. Killing her would not make that go away, and only exacerbate the symptoms. We cannot get rid of her, but with this we appear not only generous but magnanimous given her criminal record. With her, we have a shot at containment, and maybe a true cure in the future.

As soon as I'm sure SC is going to be okay I'm outta here

Algich, I am pleased to see you’re well again. And— I apologize, your successor, sir?

I'm as surprised as you to still be standing. I'd better get out while the gettings good.

Good luck, Corax

The lantern slips from your hand as you scramble over rough wood, landing on its side and casting the ensuing melee into a harsh tangle of shadows. Sizzling fluid arcs in front of you as the closest spider sprouts a knife in its neck. Its corpse clatters to the ground as Cedric yanks the chain back. To your other side sparks and screeching metal accompany as Dis and another spider start trading blows.

But your focus is on the bat, who swings its head back and forth trying to take in the commotion, before throwing its head high to let out a piercing scream. A scream which is cut off as you slam straight into it. The blade is ripped from your grip as it sinks deep into the monster's shoulder. The two of you roll into a grapple, clawing and snapping at each other's faces.

"Shut it up!" Cedric barks, tossing the chain your way as he dodges the blind swipes of the remaining spider. The bat's glowing eyes bulge wide as you shove it to the floor and wrap the chain around its neck. Hauling it into a mockery of a loving embrace, you back against the vent wall. Your opponent's claws cut the air in front of your face and its teeth gnash but it has no angle to hit you. It's breath hisses out as it clearly tries to cry again but cannot. Yet its movements do not slow, even as you draw the chain tighter.

twist to the left and bear this bat to the ground, this will provide additional breakage

>>1123516
Talk to the others. "It's not choking, stab it!" One of them might hear us and have an opportunity to help.

>>1123516
Ah. Doesn't need to breathe since it's already dead. I don't think you're gonna manage to do much more with the chain, as trying to yank off its head or something will probably throw out your back again. If you can pin it to the floor you should be able to retrieve the claw from its shoulder and use that to stab it through the head and truly silence it.

Use your rat teeth and go for the eyes!

Y: Yeah.

We need Hooters' power to reset time back to our bedroom at the start of the quest!

"Hooters! I just realised, I left my helmet in the bedroom! We have to start again!"

>>1123481
Alternatively, just pull off the shirt.

Wait, didn't the Sorceress of Stupid say she wanted lots of mall creatures to eat? And isn't Hooters and owl, which eat rats, for that matter?

Let's call them right now with the ancient call of "FREE RATS! FREE RATS UP IN HERE! COME TAKE A SAMPLE!"

Who was the idiot that thought it would be a good idea to put the crystal on such a tall pedestal? Did they not consider that the destined hero wouldn't be able to reach that high?

I blame whoever put the crystal up there as the one responsible for us being unable to get it when we needed it the most!

Some beams of energy are shooting to the sky, boob bounce to catch some and butt blast the rat!!!

Mind Slave the doggo!

with the flick of her finger Oragatt casts [Mind Slave] and the hapless vavver falls under her sway.

Well, your thrall isn't under any orders not to kill. Sic him on the clerics while you hook this fish and toss him back in the river.

Make him unequip everything and harry his comrades! Maybe it'll be enough of a distraction you can [Mind Slave] the rest of them! And also make them all unequip their everything.

>>1123438
Good idea!

B. The factory probably has defenses so if we followed the truck home we'd be stuck outside. This is a good way to get inside the factory itself.

...we could do both B and C by splitting again...

Managed democracy isn't democracy at all, and is essentially a dictatorship. Monarchy does not serve the people (unless there's a Prime Minister making most/all of the decisions), and theology is... well in this case I guess it's not really a religion since Sam is effectively a goddess. Unless the slimes are being worshipped in this case? Anyway religion is not a basis for government.

I vote socialist democracy. For the people, by the people!

B). sneak on w/ at least two crows and one flying above as extra insurance

E). technically, all is slime and with an aspect of the same mind, which is basis for theology. buuut if religion is embraced, there will inevitably be sects that start to diverge in what they define as the true slime. which might jumpstart a slime war. let's avoid that.

everyone can vote how they want, but slime is the ultimate decider in a split vote or if no one can decide anything. slime will also have veto power that can be overriden by a majority vote of 75%+.

We must form our slime supremacy dictatorship and spread it all over the world until the world itself is nothing more than a slime colony!

Fox slime remembers being human, all the horrors of war, and pretty much every single human failure, but crow slime doesn't.

Thus, I think crow slime would recklessly do A, and fox slime would probably do E. (I think fox slime would probably value democracy, but would also recognize it has the collective wisdom of every human that has ever lived, and would want some kind of veto power.)

Okay there. Yeah so, the one on the bottom? That's Doto'o. He's my bird-bro. My brod, my broder of a different feather. I see him all the time, but the others?

Those are the Daksa sisters. Twins believe it or not. Left one's Pai'sa, she's the one who saw the pic we took and drew one of her own. I kept that one and she took the photo. She was kinda shy, but liked the games I had on my aug-stack. We had shit for connection out there, but the co-op stuff was great.

Her sister on the right's Pikke'si. When Pai was busy with something, Pikke was taking a break from climbing or doing practice salvage work. She'd show up and play MercWars with me and Doto'o.

Olympia Downslope takes students from every district this side of the mountain. Which means I'm finally gonna see them again! I figured I'd have the pic attached to my regulator so they'd see me. I know they sometimes got trouble telling humans apart, even if there's gonna be like-only 2 or 3 of us on campus- and if I'm being honest I have no idea how the Daksa sisters look now. All three of them still had their youth down on, made them look all pudgy and fluffy. By now, they got their adult plumes in and I got no idea what it'll be. I figure either they notice me, or I'll find Pai when she puts her photo on something.

Man, I just went off on a tangent again. What were we talking about?

>>1123393
Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of people do that when they're alone. We won't judge.

>>1123394
You found the regulator? Neat! What else is left to get ready for tomorrow?

>>1123395
Well, after finding your regulator, your next goal was to make some food for yourself and your dad. What sort of thing would you like to eat? And while you're at it, you could prepare something for tomorrow, to save yourself a little time.

You were looking for your regulator. Is that it?

oh and dinner plans. What's in the fridge?

should probably make sure the regulator is still working, just in case

>>1123395
Your friends are adorably floofy.
Were, sorry.
Do they follow the pattern of earth avian forms?
Bright displaying males, dull females? Something less dimorphic or an inverted pattern?

Oh, hey, does your regulator need charging cause you might have left it in the charger port.
