allrightallright, i suppose there's no sence in lieing to the voices stuck in my head, i don't have that much experience with girls, but i DO know what they like and all that jazz, y'see? but uh... being completely honest, this is the prettiest girl i have seen in some time, and with no offence to her, i don't exactly love her personality, and her taste in decoration is kind of crappy if you ask me, plus with all that traveling she does on foot she has to get dirty eveyonce in a while, yknow? so i-

Penelope - "What's up, Lien? was just thinking about you. sorry i have ben acting weird lately, lots of stuff has ben going on, specially nowadays with all the crap going on, with that of the Ceyah and all. I was just taking a bath, so what can i help you with?"

Haven't ever seen her without the ponytail before...

okay wow she is pretty hot yes. but i don't see whats wrong with her personality.


anyway just say 'nothing much, just wondering if you had anything i could help you with.' and wiggle your eyebrows

Launch into the opening monologue from the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet

Say you were looking for work and were wondering if she has any jobs she would like help with.

Resist erge to stare at her breasts.

inquire about money.

Ceyah? What's that?

Can't even see too much from down here anyway.

Lienzo - "Oh nothing much, i just came to see if there was anything I could help YOU with, actually."

Penelope - "Are you sure you're an inventor and not a wizard? i just happen to have something i am in need for but didn't know if you where free, well door's open so just come right in and i'll be down in a minute, or return later, however you want."

>>472898

basically a faction that rules the continent on the north, i don't know much about them.

>>473033
Go on in.

Inside we go then!

Also, the Ceyah sound suspiciously evil.
I recommend not trusting them.

They are, suspiciously evil, i mean, i've only heard stories about them, 90% of them being about how many "evil" things they've done before, at least evil in the eyes of most of the people, i dunno.

Huh, this place actually looks pretty empty, she's probably thinking of leaving the city sometime soon as well.
Anyway, i guess i can have a chat with you guys to kill time, im surprised i got used to you guys so fast like that, anyone else would be slamming his head in trying to get you out, no offense.

Let's discuss inventing while we wait. What do you know of electromagnetism?

Do guns exist yet?
Cause if not, do we have the thing for you!

>>473300
>>473321
Didn't we talk about this before? Electricity is around, and so are guns. I think they might actually be ahead of us tech-wise.

Lienzo, tell us more about your ideas for new guns. Maybe we can give insights about how to get them working?

>>473325
They have guns and possibly electricity launching guns, but trains are new, and revolvers are considered high end guns.

>>473325
>>473329
Now now, gentlemen, we're inside a lady's house!
Lienzo, perhaps you should tell us a bit more of Penelope, her behavior seems... a bit out of place.

Exactly.
She DID once mention to me that she was a "Tresaure Hunter" or something of the sorts, and these kind of people allways have the oddest personalities.
Another strange thing is that she actually told me she'd like to travel to the Ceyah territories sometime "soonish", why would anyone go there after the stories that are told about them, is beyond me, i mean, i know their "flag" is a wolf head holding a sword on it's mouth, and that's no good news, you know?

But bottomline, she's cute but not my type.

And you guys wouldn't happen to know anything about these Ceyah, right?

Nope, this the first time we have heard of them.

Lienzo - "and uh, that's where i come in?"

Penelope - "You're the one i trust the most in this stinkin' city, and just any other heavy object would not work, it needs to be a living thing, it's probably enchanted."

Lienzo - "Enchanted... with magic?.."

Penelope - "Well Duh, what'd you expect?"

aaaaaaeeeeeeeeh... crap.

Penelope - "Is there something wrong?"

Shit, i haven't even told you voices about it either...

what? do you have a magic allergy?

Do you have an artificial organ?

Magic-induced sickness?
A magic-sensitive prosthetic?
Your family was killed by a pointy wizard hat?

The suspense is killing us here.

Lienzo - "Yes, that one exactly."

Penelope - "wow."

>>474429
So, mind telling us what exactly she was going to say before you cut her off? We can probably help you with it. Even if we can't cure you of it, we can think of a way to get around it or its symptoms.

It won't necessarily be practical, though.

we can think of some crazy shit, thinking outside the box? please we EXIST outside the box.

There isn't an exact name for it, but it's a type of allergy to magic that mostly individuals who are more inclined towards technology, like me.

It's not like any other allergy either, no sneezes, no coughs, no fevers, no vomits, oh no, this is a different one.

A good example of it? back in the day, when i was just a little boy, i went out on a trip with my father, he allways said that it'd be for my own good that i know our lands well, but during this trip, we had a small accident, and i rolled down a cliff broke my leg, fortunately, some sort of healer mage guy, whatever the name is, was passing by and dad asked him to heal me, and he did, i was feeling perfectly then, but then i saw dad holding my tail, wich was not attached to me anymore.

There was a time i used to hate mages, but as i grew up i realized it's not fair to blame them, so i decided to just avoid magic as much as i could since then, thankfully, i only get truly affected by direct physical contact with anything magical, such things as auras not doing a thing to me.

Lienzo - "Huh? i am, why?"

Penelope - "You went quiet there for a second, what you thinking so much about, smart guy?"

So... should i tell her?

Your tail actually fell off?
Did you ever get it back?

but it's already gone, what else could you lose? do you think the rest of your body will just fall apart?

>>475168
Tell her what? That magic voices in your head showed up just today? Or that you were remembering the first time your allergy acted up and you lost your tail?

The former might be a bit much for her since she doesn't know you very well, BUT we can probably prove it. She's your friend, so we can probably communicate with her and even swap over to see things from her perspective. Telling her about your tail would be okay too.

Hmm. You know what, let's try it.

Penelope: Oh, he was just talking to us.

It's not just... bodyparts faling off, all kinds of shit can happen to me, and not just your damn regular sickness symptoms, most of wich fortunately haven't happened to me YET, like random combustion, being unable to sleep, seeing everything pink, and i tell you more, last week i accidentally touched an enchanted sword at a bazaar and i became invisible for an entire freaking week, and JUST at that time i was seeing a cute girl, it's not goddamn fair.

And i already told her about the tail, while i was telling you guys.

[Your TRUST LEVEL with PENELOPE is not enough! current trust level: 41 / 100]

Penelope - "hmm... you know, there IS another way in wich you could help me in this little job, we'll probably end up getting wet, but you won't need to have any direct contact with magic, unless you have another idea?"

>>475966
Getting wet doesn't sound like a big deal.

Lienzo - "Getting wet doesn't sound like a big deal."

Penelope - "Good, cause i had found an entrance on the back of it, problem is, it's nearly flooded, but the weird thing is, i found out that there's actual machinery behind the walls, it must be some sort of complex lock mechanism keeping that door shut, it's all rusted up to hell, but the door somehow ended up jammed."

Lienzo - "WaitWaitWait, you are telling me there's an enchanted temple, of wich's walls have actual machinery in them, so basically Magic and Technology working tougheter in harmony somehow?"

Penelope - "Meh, I don't even know, whatever, all i really care about is what's inside of it, it could be something really rare and valuable, who knows? and besides, getting in there with the help of a "techie" will be no problem, no offense."

Now I wanna see what's in there, if what she sez is true, i've actually heard a few stories about buried temples that contain Magical and Technological items alike, it's crazy to belive, but i do know there's some sort of ruins there, i heard a few people talk about it before.

If im going to do this, im gonna have to equip myself, i currently have 764 gold, it may be enough to afford... bah, i don't even know WHAT i'd need to get equiped with, im not the adventuring or dungeon-crawling type, so what do i do?

well for one you need a air storage device. something that can cut metal, something conductive.

Also torches and rope.

>>478597
A waterproof container. Probably some emergency rations in case you get trapped in there.

Don't be afraid of saving some of that money, too.

Some kind of a multi-tool. You need to be able to work on tech without weighing yourself down with a whole toolbox.

I stroll around this market place occasionaly and normally the selection of, uh, dungeong raiding equipment here is pretty random, but they should have the essentials i need, such as torches and a rope, actually i'd kinda preffer to take a lantern or something similar, i'd hate burning my fingers with that.

>>478608
>>478620
Yeah, i do belive i have one of those laying around, i was going to use it for parts, but uh, whatever. I have plenty of tools i can use back at my workshop, but these are my only ones.

>>478622
Hm, no i don't think we have anything like that, i mean i don't even want one to begin with, i allways tought just using each perspective tool would be allright, you know? i mean...

...Shit, im sorry if im not being too usefull here, i have never ben on any kind of "adventure" like this before and im getting a little nervous, i know i need the money, but... i haven't asked you guy's names or why you came to me specificaly, right? well uh... im asking you it now, what's your names and why did you come to me specificaly? if you're okay with that, of course.

>>488494
Only some of us go by names. I don't. An inventor seemed interesting to assist.

Don't worry about the multitool, and the waterproof container's for your tools so it's good you already have one.

You might not need an air supply, depending on how long the swim is and if you need to go underwater or if it's just a surface swim. A simple air bladder would work anyway. Even a single breath of fresh air can save your life. So uh, ask exactly what you should expect from your half of this task, before we do any shopping.

A lantern would work for a light source. You should also get a grappling hook if you can find one, and a spare bag and some tongs in case you need to handle something magical.

>what's your names and why did you come to me specificaly? if you're okay with that, of course.
The vast majority of us don't bother with names. But if you'd like to call us something to make yourself more comfortable, that's fine.

As for why? No good reason. We talk to people because we get bored otherwise. And because we kind of have this sociopathic desire to help. And heck, you seemed interesting.

i agree with the tongs to move magic, this place supposedly has magic and tech, so what if a magic part is inside of a machine?

I think i've seen this guy before, he sounds like he's trying hard to fake an accent, but i just can't put my finger on what kind...

how many bullets do you have for your gun, because it never hurts having to much ammo, to little on the other hand. Also see if you can't get a weapon repair kit or something to give your little pea shooter a little more punch, or maybe even just see if you can trade it in for a better weapon, and hell if you want to think long term maybe see if he has some spare parts for you to build things with or maybe even some schematics for things. I mean once you get to a new town or city you were going to open another shop or something right? Or did you have some other plan to make a living once you got out of this dump?

ask for the ultimate multi-tool

>>502623
>Bullets
Mad Trader - "Shure, i got some laying around, but they not for sale, they're mine."
>Weapon Repair Kit
"...Would a pack of tissues do? 10 gold."
>Trade for better weapon
"NO, no trading, gold only."
>Spare parts and Schematics
"...except for dat, i has one like that on me, but i want to actually trade it for something of uh... equal value... as for the junk, uh, 10 gold each thingie, i got a whor box of stuff like dat, is yours for... number one and two O's gold or whatever."

At least he's not yelling anymore...

Also yeah, i do want to give this whole inventor shop thingie another shot, and i plan to do it right this time.

Anyway, this guy is not being all that helpful, save that im curious as to what is this schematic this guy could have, plus i keep some ju- eh, resources around, just in case, inventor logic, right?
