Mechi calls it a bitch... not sure who is talking but it’s a bitch, for sure! But her attempts to see what time it is keep being unfruitful, specially after things get more and more blurry...

Hey, where did the watch go, she asks herself, I just had it in my hand...And this doesn’t look like the forest anymore...

>>448830
It's still in your inventory. Drop it.
(or if that's an error)
Focus on your purple orb- it's doing something.

Ask if there's anybody there. If not, try on the hat.

your orb is glowing with a black light.

i think its a bit too late to drop the watch, but try it anyway. go have some tea and try on the hat

You will look adorable in that top hat.
WEAR HAT EAT TABLE

Don't be rude. Can't you see it's tea time?

Mechi tries to drop the watch, but instead it just stays floating around. And she tries to put the top hat on, but she can’t because it looks like someone is already wearing it.

The deep voice can be heard again, all around her, clear now.

“Do you like to take what it is not yours? Is it just mindless hunger or do you have developed a petty criminal mind, after all?”

"curiosity, i saw a hat and wondered if i would look good in it. the watch was from my friend and seemed to be making her a bit nuts so it took it and my conjecture was correct."

"I used to be nonsentient a few days ago. The concept of ownership still seems petty to me. For example, owning this watch has already screwed up one of my friends. I prefer safety if anything else."

Picking something up to examine it isn't theft. And removing something from someone's person when they've collapsed and there's a good chance it's hurting them is basic regard for life.

>>449550
>>449555
>>449561
All of this, and then:

Do you like to condescend to beings you don't understand? Is it just a deeply ingrained habit, or do you really think you're that superior to me?

insist that you two have a drink and fib about all the plans you had to steal from kioo and leo, how you were going to loot the city and run off to raid caravans

Yes. Mindless hunger for the current time. GIVE ME THE CURRENT TIME I HUNGER

>>449546
Tell it to explain itself immediately, you're not in a mood for games, especially mind games.

Mechi answers that she was nonsentient just a few days ago, so the concept of ownership still seems petty to her. She’s only been moved by curiosity, and helping out her friend taking that watch that was doing more bad than good to her.

The watch hovers towards the floating hat, and the mist seems to condense under it, almost taking an humanoid form. The voice continues speaking.

“I see. Then it’s imperative that you understand that you understand that such thievery doesn’t go without consequences around here. Bad things happen to those who steal, and take what doesn’t belong to them. Like when you took my pocket watch. Your friend almost died because of that.”

you didn't really have a name on it either. Lie, when we took it we sort thought it belonged to my old captor, he collected all sorts of weird things.

and call desire for vengeance over crimes petty. In this case, what matters most is getting the watch back, not punishing the takers. and when he starts talking about justice, call justice just a fancy word for petty vengeance to make it sort all right and better. And make a note to him that he should maybe drop this creepy anger act, it's hard to make friends that way. And you for some reason can tell he's not even all that pissed over the watch, he's just acting this way because he has a foolish notion of superiority, which ultimately does not exist. Stupid sentients.

The figure coming out of the mist becomes clearer now, and Mechi is able to recognize a familiar face... or rather, lack of. The man, dressed with an elegant sweet and a metallic, featureless sphere for a face sits back, as a chair materializes out of thin air behind him. Mechi notices that the metal mask (or is it really his face? Mechi can’t tell, the man’s voice doesn’t sound muffled in any way, like it would sound coming behind from behind a metal mask) is polished and shiny, but she can’t see her reflection (or any kind of reflection) on it.

But she answers that she thought it belonged to her old captor, who was a butt, by the way, and that she collects all kinds of weird things.

Also that what he’s doing isn’t justice, just a fancy name for vengeance over petty crimes, to make it all sort of right and better. And that he should drop the creepy anger act, or he’s not gonna make any friends, and that she doesn’t think he’s angry over losing the watch at all, just acting this way because he has a foolish notion of superiority.

Mechi catches her breath. She’s not sure she knows what half of what she just said means, or where did it came from, but there it goes anyways.

The man shrugs, while the teapot magically hovers in front of him and starts pouring hot tea into the now also floating teacup.

“Oh, you don’t understand. I never called it justice. I just said that bad things happen to those that steal from me. I make those those bad things happen. Yes, vengeance. Such a delightful thing. Fancy a cup of tea?”

oh god
He's evil, we can't really talk our way out of this or get inside his head.
I would hesitate drinking the cup of tea, but I doubt he knows how to poison a slime, and we wouldn't want to insult his now gentlemanly demeanor. Perhaps decline on the notion that he would lose the teacup
as well as the tea, and we kinda wouldn't want to anger the man who dissolved a lifeform without having to have it inside him further, intentionally at least.
Ask if he can do much to her currently in this place, and what he wants with the orb you ate, because like it wasn't obvious. You may be able to work with him for a while if you can convince him to let you, until your usefulness is dried up. You don't care about the watch, he can have it really. May we talk business?
Do not show fear in your voice Mechi, to talk successful business you must always be confident and never intimidated! Speak to him as equal and never let his sense of superiority overpower you!

Actually Mechi doesn’t feel scared at all, even if she remembers that this man and the way she disposed of her captor disturbed her back then... But right now, she feels rather relaxed, almost safe...

Mechi politely refuses the cup of tea, saying that she’d only go through it. Then she asks the man what does he want with the orb she ate.

“Well I do want to obtain it, obviously. It’s such a waste to see such a powerful artifact being passively used by a creature as oblivious as you.”

Mechi remains calm and ignores the spiteful remark, instead she asks if he can do much to her currently in this place. The mysterious man shrugs and dismisses the question with a vague gesture with his hand.

“No, I can’t do anything to you here, I assure you. I just wanted to talk and know the creature that ate the purple orb. And don’t worry, I guarantee that you won’t go through this cup. So, tea?”

sure, pinky out. and .. such as what ? does this person plan to end hunger or save the rainforests, what have you ? or just buttmad that global enslavement or unfettered hedonism isnt possible without the orbs

also if you say plural orbs i wonder if that will send a jolt of thought or simply be glossed over

So, what can this powerful artifact be used actively for? It doesn't seem to tell the time.

Ask if he is from the order of the Invisiblessed.
What is your escape plan, Mechi? I worry in places where you have little to no control.

Callibrate your six-axis controller, we may need to do our best to survive if this guy snaps and means us harm.

Mechi asks the time.

“Well, it’s tea time, of course.”

She accepts the cup and with a bit of surprise, she realizes she’s not eating through the cup. It’s weird. She takes the drink to her face and takes a few sips (or does somthing similar). The tea is hot, and rather good, to her opinion. She takes a few more sips before asking again.

“So, what are you going to do with the orbs?”

The man doesn’t seem to be phased by the plural, he simply shrugs.

“Whatever I want. Conquer whatever country I desire? Destroy them? Determine the fate of every living being around me? The possibilities are endless. I hope that helps you understand why you will die. I want that orb.”

Mechi isn’t concerned about the threat. She’s feeling very calm and relaxed right now. She’s never dreamed, or even, really slept before, but if she had, she’d say she feels like dreaming right now. Escape plan...? Why, there’s no danger here? Funny, it’s like someone was softly whispering that to Mechi.

Ah.

You are in grave danger, actually. Try to wake up, as hard as you can. Maybe poke the orb, or focus on it- it's turning BLACK.

tell him those are wonderful ideas and youll get right to it with earnest. but also mention there doesnt seem to be any countries, living beings or endless possibilities here.

>>456863
Obviously be aware of your danger, and aware that your friend was also calmed and manipulated by the watch. And inform your enemy that you will be leaving now. You're glad you could have civil conversation with your would-be killer, and that your destruction won't be so easy.

Maybe make a leaving point that having that much control seems as petty and pointless as ownership, superiority and vengeance, but oh well, he's been sentient his whole life probably. Whatcha gonna do? He's got too much worry, but you got street saviore faire.

HEY MENCHI STOP IGNORING US HE IS DOING SOMETHING TO YOUR ORB AND IS CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW KILLING YOU

Alternatively, you learned what time it is so you can close the watch now.

“Those are wonderful ideas but I don’t see any countries, living beings or endless possibilities here.” --Mechi says.

The strange man shrugs.

“That is because this isn’t a real place, of course.”

Mechi shakes part of the unnatural feeling of pleasantness and feels the urgency to wake up, the sudden realization that she is in danger. She tries to touch the orb but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

“Just take your tea and relax. Everything will be over soon...”

Mechi can’t close the watch, she doesn’t have it anymore.

>>456904
Throw the tea in his face. Then try to eat him.

Try eating him. Just a thought. At this point, what else CAN you do?
Or you can try punching yourself in the face or eating the orb a little harder than usual.

start screaming and focus all your power on to waking up.

We could try setting him on fire.

Mechi tries to shake off that artificial voice telling her to relax with all her energies. She tries to scream, she throws the tea at the man with no face (with no visible effect), she tries to wake up! For a moment she feels like she’s fighting that presence off... But the this strange world keeps fading away, and her senses with it.

The man seems to be getting irritated though, at her attempts.

“Stop that, will you? Just die already and stop this farce, it’s getting ridiculous.”

He’s trying to remain calm, but Mechi’s struggles are visibly disturbing his attempts to control the situation.

Keep doing whaterver it is, and flow under his coat to avoid the fireball.

The watch! You can see it again. Attack it.

eat the watch

Mechi focuses all her energy and lunges towards the man, trying to hit, eat, take or attack the watch. The man screams in pain and fury, as this whole cloudy world starts fading away.

“AAHGGH! Stupid slime! I tried to give you an easy way out! You idiotic blob, next time we meet I’ll show you suffering, I’ll...”

The rest of his rant is lost, in the mist, as the blurry horizon changes colors. It’s all kind of blue and green now... Mechi still feels like she’s floating, but in a more clumsy, down to earth way. The familiar sounds of the forest and running water return to her, and some voices too. They all still feel so distant, but she can almost make up some words... “back... Snap out... Mechi!... Wake... Step...”

What a weird feeling.

Immediately retrieve eyes from magic chest

You're about to fall off a cliff. Back up!

Mechi doesn’t know how to blow a bubble, but she pushes back somehow and shakes her head. Her vision gets a bit clearer, enough to let her see that she’s pretty much... about to fall off a cliff!

The only thing stopping her from falling down are a bunch of branches and vines, entangled around her body... and they’re quickly being corroded by her acid body!

And now she can understand the voices. She recognizes Kioo and Leo, shouting from somewhere above her.

“Wake up! It’s not gonna last much longer!”

“She’s not gonna wake up in time, and we can’t lift her up, the vines won’t last that long!”

Mechi should do something about the situation.

Recall your acid, then climb up the vines.

stop all acid production, CLIMB!

>>456997

every spot on the vines that you were previously holding needs to be replaced with a grip on higher, undissolved segments. do so and recall acid.

Mechi retracts her acid core back, and manages to climb on the vimes enough to stick to the wall and creep her way up. Leo is up here, and he looks very relieved.

“Phew! I can’t... I mean... are you alright!? I thought you were a goner!”

“But what happened? How did I end up hanging down there?”

“We were taking care of Mirla and suddenly you completely zoned out. Eyes fixed in the distance, completely silent, clutching that old pocket watch... We didn’t know what was up with you! And then you turned around and started walking. We tried to stop you but we didn’t really know how! And then you kept walking up the mountain and towards the cliff. We tried to put as many vines and branches around you as we could, trying to pull you back... You snapped out of it, just in time! What was that!?”



It’s pretty late here and I think this is a good stopping point for the session.Next saturday it’ll be Passage’s turn, and next one we’ll continue Meigara from here. Thank you all for participating!

"the watch was exactly as i thought, it was talking, but apparently it decided that i needed to die as fast as possible so it took control, luckily this here glowing ball let me regain that control"

honesty is fine. you had a feeling the pocket watch was cursed or -something- and it basically caused you rigid hallucination when you put it on. the question now is where did mirla get it from or who had access to it that could imbue such an effect

Tell them that the watch lets chrome-head control people. Huh. We still have it? It must only work against someone once.

Consider destroying it.

Disenchanting or destroying it is probably a solid idea.

>>457044
We got to get this shit checked out, the orb thing, immediately. Oh and...
His guard is down now is the time to strike! Actually, no go to Kioo and strike the doppleganger's skirt instead. Unless she's already changed then go back to the original plan and lift the skirt again!

Mechi remembers that she found the pocket watch in the dungeon back at the city, and it probably belonged to that creepy man with the metal head... the same one she dreamed about just now. Mirla liked it and Mechi didn't see anything wrong with letting her have it. Which happened to be a mistake. It’s not doing anything right now, but that could change and start doing things to her mind again, think Mechi. Maybe she should get rid of it and throw it down the cliff. Or not. She should make her mind.

Mechi points at Leo’s hands, which seem to be in poor shape, burned and bloody. He shrugs and tries to hide a groan of pain. “Yeah, when we noticed you were going straight towards the cliff, I tried to grab you. That was stupid of me...”

>>460694
Ask him how to destroy the watch. He seems knowledgeable in artifacts.

apologize and share your wacky dream experience with him. give him a kiss. uh, an air kiss. damn watch was cursed after all. keep it because you know the trick to overcoming it now. and tend to Mirla.

ask if he can help destroy it. and at the moment it is safest with you, throw it away and someone else will pick it up and they will hunt you.

Mechi apologizes for all the trouble she’s caused, and fails to know how to give a kiss. Leo shrugs and tries to dismiss the matter, even if it’s obvious he’s in pain. “It’s ok, I’ll get them healed when I go back with the Order.”

Mechi tells him about the watch and the weird dream, and asks his opinion about it. He examines the object for a moment, before answering.

“It’s a powerful, enchanted artifact, linked to that strange man, who is obviously a powerful individual. It might pull you again into another trance quite easily, and next time that man won’t let you snap out of it so easily. We don’t have the means to destroy something like this right now, but it’d be too dangerous to carry. My advice is to leave it, in a well hidden spot. But if you want to keep it, it would be wiser if I carry it. I would be easier to immobilize if I’m hypnotized by it than you, for obvious reasons.

yes but he may not have to go to such extremes to kill you. can make you swallow your tongue, something you can't do.

in fact, would falling that far even kill you? you are slime, unless it splattered you in a million directions i doubt you would die.

>>460704
Does he have any offensive magic powers or a weapon?
If he can fireball his face, you figure the man in the hat will just have Leo do that instead of making nature or the laws of physics off the watch's holder.

Maybe it really is better to leave it, he might be able to track it. I don't see what we can gain by keeping this awful thing. If the harpy still wants the watch for whatever reason, we'll save up to get a similar one that isn't an awful, evil device.

sniff it, maybe it smells funny

not sure what keeping this thing is supposed to accomplish. im inclined to leave it except mirla might have a real fit about it, not too confident of our ability to present a strong case. forget the city mang, lets get leo healed and frighten some order folk

Being splattered into a million directions would kill Mechi, actually. Basically if he dense core inside her is destroyed, she dies. The soft gel that makes her “body” is completely malleable and almost indestructible, but that’s not the case with her core.

After Mechi asks, Leo answers that he doesn’t have that kind of magic powers. He doesn't add anything else, but anyways Mechi decides that the watch is too dangerous too keep around. They bury it deep under a large tree root.

They head back to find the others. Mirla seems to be up again.

"you okay?"

ask mirla what happened and if she's ok

Mechi approaches her harpy friend, who doesn't look too happy.

“Hey, are you alright?”

Mirla sighs and nods, shaking her wings slowly, shrugging.

“Yes, thanks to you. I was so stupid, insisting on holding onto that watch. I should've known better... And it’s the second time I get caught like stupid little bird... You should go on without me, I’m just slowing you down.”

Confused, Mechi also notices that Kioo isn’t nowhere to be seen.

ask if she knows how something like that could have happened to the watch, like, at what point did she -not- have it on her person ?? very strange. also, kioo missing is very strange

and it's less she's slowing everyone down as it is the all of you not being sloppy and being better off for it. everyone is sure to slip up and it would be great to know mirla is on the case; wink

dangit where is kioo .. im thinking it would be cool to scout out the order for possibly letting them in on the monster city plan

if there's anyone to blame here, it's Intrigo for the first time around and that ballfaced asshole for the second. and both times we both were caught. and on that note, I think the two of you went through enough together to be friends and friends don't leave each other behind for retarded reasons.

Mechi asks if Mirla knew that the watch was going to do prior to putting it on, or even after doing it.

“I... I don’t know. I should've noticed something was wrong with it when I started to hear and see weird things... But I guess I was too dumb to get the hints.”

Mechi tries to comfort her, telling her it’s not her fault, none of them saw it coming, and if there’s anyone to blame it’s that bastard of Intrigo for the first time and that obnoxious ballface for the second.

“ We've been through too much stuff to be leaving each other behind! And we should actually get going already, we've been sloppy enough here. Where is Kioo?”

The harpy looks relieved and a bit happier, but she shrugs. “I don’t know. After I woke up she asked if I was alright, and when I told her that kind of, she says “good” and walked away in that direction.”

The harpy points towards the east, through the trees. Mechi wonders if she should go after Kioo, just call her or just get moving, trying to find her on their way.

we should just get going.

Huh. Get going. She was plotting something anyway. Dunno what it was, now.

loose ends are bad, m'kay. go after her.

Mechi decides to keep going on, keeping an eye out for Kioo, but not stopping to look for her. After all, she’s suspicious about the Doppleganger, and thinks she’s up to something.

After a few minutes going through the forest, the sun rays peek through the ceiling of leaves above, warming up the jelly mass that is Mechi’s body, making her feel pretty content, despites the misadventures of the past few days. Mirla seems to feel better as well, and soon she flies over the trees to scout around and stretch out her wings freely.

Mechi’s content train of thoughts is interrupted by Leo, who clears his throat to get her attention.

“Mechi” --He starts. “I think you should reconsider what you’re doing and where you should go next. I mean, I’m sure the plan with the empty town sounds very alluring, but as you must’ve noticed, the stone you posses is attracting unwanted attention. And I fear it’ll get worse. It’s going to lure more evil towards you, bad people that will try to take that from you. I think you should come with me, our sanctuary isn’t far from here. The gem --And you, of course, and you!-- will be safer there. And I’m sure the Abbot will be able to shed some light on the situation.”

He waits, expectantly, for Mechi’s answer.

Come to think of it, if we were to go to the empty town and try to set things up there, the orb would wind up luring people there that would fuck everything up, wouldn't it?

It's probably best if we went with Leo. We can trust him, since he went so far as to injure himself to try to save us.

sure, kioos not making it easy and the city isnt moving. ask what he would do if he had a stone like yours

if it's on the way, you could stop by for a chat. if not, meh, let 'em come because you could probably use the protein in your diet.

Mechi decides to go with Leo. The lizard monk smiles and tells her that it’s the right choice. They wait for Mirla to come down from the clouds and they tell her the change of plans. She doesn’t seem to mind, so Leo leads the way.

He didn't lie, just a couple of hours later they cross a river and another patch of forest that leads into a small hill, where the monastery sits. It looks like an old structure, yer well preserved, and from here Mechi is able to see movement in the windows, walls and the open door.

They approach the door, guarded by a couple of monks that simply nod at Leo and let him in. Inside the main courtyard, all seems to be quite peaceful and silent. Monks walk up and down, minding their own business, not curious at about the nature of the two monstrous visitors. Leo bows and solemnly proclaims: “Welcome to the Sanctuary of The Last Days. Don’t worry, you’re safe here, at least for now. Would you like to rest a bit, see the place, or would you like to speak with the Abbot right away?”

I dunno, is anyone tired? if not, go speak.

Let's look around. If shit goes down it'd be a good idea to know the layout of the place.

It’s true, and with all the stuff happening last night, Mechi hasn’t had much time to rest! And after all that walking, she’s pretty tired. She tells that to Leo and he nods, understanding. They walk into the large courtyard, a square are surrounded by different buildings, and a few citrus trees. The place is very peaceful and silent, and Mechi can see the occasional monk walking among the trees, meditating or dedicated to their duties.

“The Guests room is on the first floor, first door to the right. Feel free to take a look around and rest there, the Abbot will be happy to see you tonight. Just... try to not burn the bed down.”

Leo gives a polite bow and disappears through a large door in the main building. Mirla glides down from the sky and sits next to Mechi. “Ok, now what? I’m kind of sleepy...”

Mirla hasn’t had much time to rest either, busy as she’s been almost getting eaten by a giant snake that night. But right now Mechi tries to decide what to do before going to their rooms. She could try to gather some information asking at some of the random monks, explore the place, or do something else?

Ask her if she saw anything interesting while flying around. Also, what's the general layout of this place, and is there only one entrance/exit?

Let's go chat up a monk and ask them what the order does exactly.

tell leo youre going to sleep in a secluded place not near anything that would be missed if it were horribly burned, then do so. we'll need the energy for a better investigation; its almost like protagonists never sleep !!

explore the living shit outta this place. find secret passages and valuable ancient artifacts by squeezing into suspicious little openings and pulling things that may be levers in disguise.

Mechi doesn’t see any other exit than the other she came in, but she doesn’t know the layout of the entire place. As far as she knows, any of the buildings around the central courtyard could have a back exit. There seems to be a large garden behind open gates at the other side of the courtyard.

Mechi asks Mirla if she saw anything while flying around. The harpy looks a bit uneasy around here, probably not very confident being here in the open.

“No, nothing weird about this place. Doesn’t look like many people live here, I’ve only seen two or three monks walking around since we arrived... I don’t like being here too much, I think I’m going to hang out in the garden. I’ll be there if you need me.”

And with that the harpy flies off, leaving Mechi alone with her thoughts. Just then she notices one of the monks working on one of the walls, repairing a crack on it. The guy doesn’t seem to be pay any attention to Mechi. Should she try to catch his attention and ask him something or go explore on her own?

explore the garden before promptly passing out

explore the ?s

Go to the garden for the time being, and possibly spy on the "Church?" from said garden if possible. I think this will give us a lead/hint/reason to change plans or reinforce what we already think.
