Orgy. Get all the guys Rosie lined up.

Let's get ourselves hurt!

Hunting time!

Hmm... do you and Rosie share the same injuries? you did get clawed in the back by the puma. You're strong, and powerful so it's just a small wound for you, but to Rosie, that must hurt like hell.
In case Rosie is greatly injured from that claw attack when she turns back, write to her about getting her injury healed by summoning Bau. But let her know about the plan b orgy

Do you have any siblings?

Yeah, we're going to need to ask Dotti to give Momo the bells FIRST before Momo can teach her. She needs to learn it isn't okay to steal things to get what she wants, it could ruin friendships and might make some powerful people angry at her if they were total strangers

Also, remind Dotti that she could have just asked to learn shapeshifting instead of stealing bells.

>>1032932
Ask Momo why she won't teach Dotti.

chase!

Let's side with Dotti. She out-foxxed Momo, she won.

>>1033010

Considering that Momo has also been willing to play the extortion card, against Mia specifically, this just seems fair. Side with Dotti. "Sorry Momo, my hands are tied, you're gonna have to give her what she wants."

You probably should eat something to settle your now completely empty stomach

Maybe, regardless of what the Rin-Reida promised, a certain OTHER Tobak (... Kellie) got you the swift recruitment treatment. Or maybe their boss saw something they didn't.

>Accept muffs, be suspiuffs
Anyway, these were the guys with the explosive collars, so do a quick check of the earmuffs for oddities. Do wear your goggles like he asked, and if there's nothing obvious pop a muff over one ear to begin with.

And by 'over one ear' I do mean just holding it up to your ear, not wearing it as a full on muff. If they eye you or complain, just shrug.

"Sorry, big guy said 'no funny stuff' and I'm of the same mind. I get to be choosy about who I work for too, and this all is a bit funny, yanno?"

If something about the muffs looks really suspicious, raise an eyebrow, snag Lyvy's rifle and ask what the heck. Or just tell 'em to shoo shoo.

>>1032989
Though it strikes me that they might deploy some kind of holographic emitter, since they ask that you wear the goggles. In which case the muffs probably really just are for audio.

You have the burner number. Ask her if these guys are legit. That means you'll have to ask for their names, of course.

Eh fuck it, if they wanted to do something fishy, it would already had happened. Just tell them to stay on your sight.

And tell the big guy to chill out, he's not being tough, just annoying.

So ... what ... like through the terminal? Headset just makes sure we can hear discreetly?

If so, that seems ... shockingly reasonable.

>>1032921

Use your panic.

Tell her the grief was too strong for you to bear thinking about, so you ran away because you were in too much pain.

I like this!

Also, maybe Hunter went to the spire to get that resurrection potion for his friend? Only to find it has to be used up to three days latter and it took him more than one month? And now he has returned with the shame of leaving like that only to return empty handed?

One other thing!
Whatever we decide to do, and Whether we do this during or after this confrontation, let Key use the flower of embrace to hug and calm Hunter down.

2, 3. When you have a prophecy it's very important to get more than one interpretation of it.

>>1032804
this gets my vote, 2 and 3.

2: "I know I've already apologized, both for my words earlier and for my lack of credit toward your intelligence. But I still feel like I owe you an explanation for my behavior, at the very least. Events over the last day have painfully highlighted how my own relationship with Intelligence has Poisoned the way I view and interact with people..."

Then either 1 or 3; Lillian needs to be clued in on something you discovered. Even if you don't go with 1, at least warn her that you discovered something Huge on your end and that you should all meet somewhere private to discuss it later. We don't want to get the whole "when were you planning on telling me this" spiel when someone drops that bombshell on her.

2. I'm not a big fan of 3, since I don't know how she'll feel about fortunes, but I'm not voting AGAINST it, if that makes any sense.

2/3

You're already going deep, and maybe she'll take 3 as a joke, give her opinion and it'll crack the ice leading to a cooldown before you leave.

Though I really want 2/5 but there's not enough votes for it.

{A} Connect to the dragon to hopefully snap them out of it. Just yell for Godrender to burst now instead of communicating psychically. Hopefully either it can hear sound or Humphrey will hear your words and tell it. I don't trust the hilt.

Just adding some further thoughts:
If the dragon is another part of the Queen, then strengthening that link should make it realize that fact and hopefully stop attacking because it would be attacking its self.
I don't see how linking with Humphrey would help right now anyway. He's supposed to be fighting off the spores' corruption specifically so the Queen can focus on other factors.
The Queen already has links of some form with Humphrey, the Hilt, and Godrender, whereas the link with the dragon is new and thus should be seized upon now. Plus the Queen has already physically become one with Humphrey and the Hilt, and we don't currently have any intent to merge with Godrender, but if the dragon is a part of the Queen then merging with it is important.
And if the Queen acts on link {A} it's possible that the slimes will automatically merge and we won't have to worry about physical combat any more.

[C], assuming that's what the "purify burst" suggestions actually translate into! Even if it doesn't permanently solve the situation, it'll at least buy you some time to come to a better understanding and find a more permanent solution!

B

>>1032762
A, probably

Walk her further away from the crowd for what you're gonna be about to say. No need to love bomb everyone that badly. Focus on your guitar while you speak and keep your expression under control.

>Do I say it?
Need her or not, you... think being her friend is worth another shot. She did you some good, whatever her reasons. And you can solve the 'problem of her' mostly on your own, so it doesn't matter if she's able to listen or not. You can avoid Rocker in the future if he's gonna be a problem. And while her empathy is oppressive, it's not intolerable most of the time and you can always take a wander and go busking if it becomes too bad.

Frankly, yeah, you might be able to put a life back together without her involvement, but you... need someone or something to riff off of. You never were a great solo act and you don't want to get pulled into a depressive funk. Which is probably the last thing that'll happen around someone like her.

This relationship is probably not for forever, but you'll give her - and yourself - a chance and see.

>Internal reflections
While Luvi's support comes with some massive caveats and might come from a broken place and will continue to do so, it's nevertheless support you'd be without and she did put you on the right path. It's an open question where you'd be right now without her and the people she pointed you towards.

You know what's stupid, though? Like, you can't really tell her good things, encourage her much, or similar things. Or, well, it'd come at the very obvious cost of her becoming overwhelmingly happy.

Maybe that's why her friends or people around her are either aliens, sociopaths or grumpy grumps like Kark. It's sheer selection pressure - a nicer and happier Ne

CLEVRLAND AND DWAG CARRIDE

This sounds like a day trip. Three villains sounds like a lot to take out all at once, at least this early.
I think it would be better to get some training in - maybe Fio and Kel?

Cleveland and DWAG shopping + errand outing? Could be a good opportunity for interpersonal bonding.

GET A CATBOY. oh my god. what kind of villain team doesn't have an evil pet. fio can get this easy. it's just like picking one up at the shelter, right?

(But trust us, all they got was grief)
With heavy coins and magics light,
To filch a journal in the night.

Knew thieves, and thievery so too.
They caught and spoke so that thief knew,
Unwise promises with fey he'd rue.

Three orbits later, I began the descent to the Marius Hills with Shen.

Recollection is hazy.

Everything was so much faster than expected.

The lights flaring up.

The muffled noise of a series of impacts along the LEM's hull.

A burst of rifle shots tearing through the wall.

Darkness.




Another light through the window brings me back to my senses. To my relief, this one is only the sun, which had just crested the lip of the... The crater? No.
Sea Hawk had landed in the lava tube opening.

The lights in the LEM are out, only the master alarm button blinking, though with no sound by which to hear the klaxon.

Shen is still sat next to me, something vaporizing in the vacuum beside him. Something red. I sit back in my seat in the silence.

>>1032916
I suggest acquiring tape. preferably fast.

Damage report!

Remind Shen not to sip juiceboxes in the lander module.

>>1032915
Huh, text in the image. Not sure if it's important or not, can't read half of it.

>>1032916
Is Shen alive?

If you were to both sin quickly, you wouldn't be endangering the house as much.

And if you were under the sheets, god couldn't even see the sin.

Let's go talk to Susanna.
I wanna know why the reverends she killed didn't stay dead.

It would be sinful to have sex with Rita and that would agitate the reverends. What to do...

Here's an idea. Sex is only sinful if done outside of marriage, right? So if they think the two of you are married, and are having sex for the purpose of procreation, it's possible they would excuse the act. There ain't much brain inside those rotting bodies anyway.

Therefore, I suggest that you and Rita have a roleplay session where the two of you pretend to be a married couple.

> >>1032376 >why the reverends didn't stay dead
They don't stay dead because they're immortal, like Susanna. They get resurrected when killed or captured.

>>1032220
>A sharp thud on the roof makes you both jump.
Yep, they be watching.

>>1032453
I think the idea would work if there were more love than lust involved, I don't think they care much for a marriage certificate. That would be interesting.

Also, Chuck has become natural bait for them. He does possess a sort of control over them at this point, and all he needs to do is think about fucking a girl wildly. Hell, all the girls at once, why not.

>>1032453
No. Nelson and Susana could get back up from most wounds because they are some kind mystical creatures demigod-thingies.

The three reverends were mortals, but after Susana killed, they became revenants.
Why? When everyone else dies in Coxwette, they stay dead.

Changing my vote to keeping Delli around. This is why:
if we collapse the stairs and eliminate all forces on the surface, that gives us time to fortify and prepare for the bigger fight to come. We can use Delli's small amount of remaining energy manipulation to use materials from the structures on the surface to create ballistic shields at the very least. It might even be possible to detach some cables and use the electricity as a weapon. Plus, Delli should be able to curve energy attacks around cover, even if they're weak.

holy shit. Well hello to you from three months ago.

I cant tell if this quest is on hiatus or its shelved food good. The story is pretty neat, but i still wondee if people can habe kids here. I never did see a child in the story.

Lagotrope tends to update their quests in spurts, usually with months of break between. You can add a suggestion to a thread without bumping it by typing 'sage' in the email field.

>>1032849
I got nothing to add until the next update. I only caught up to the story a few months ago, and even then I don't have the motivation to add anything. Yet.

>>1032707
Look inside the mask, then put it back on the thug. Apparently they can't survive without it... something weird is going on.

Why should we care?

Heimlich maneuver standards! Check airways, listen to see if it sounds like choking "Difficulty breathing or noisy breathing,
Squeaky sounds when trying to breathe,
Coughing, which may either be weak or forceful", then, perform heimlich, 5 blows between shoulders with an open hand, arms around and 5 blows just under the ribcage with a fist and your other hand wrapped around it.

If that don't work something weird is gon' on.

Gotta get her to talk. Can't do that if she's dead.

Also. Y'know pointless death is bad and everything.

Tell her if it's impossible to save her then she shouldn't try.

That's rough buddy.

You didn't mess up. Let's be clear on that right out of the gate, the decisions you made in that discussion were absolutely fine for you. You stood firm to your beliefs despite knowing it wasn't what she wanted to hear. That speaks to your character, and will mean a lot more in the long run than Kalez' approval ever will. Kalez can be as bitter as she wants, as long as she isn't calling for your job or your head over this.

...Okay, take some time to assess the likelihood that she's calling for either of those, and let that influence your next actions.

If you're still on the line with Kalez, ask two last things to confirm your next actions. Check that hiring Vivian Hearth is still acceptable, and not in fact part of some other stupid test that you also failed, and ask about Inquisitor Sabria. Not blowing up the bridge means she will be able to make it into the city. Vivian Hearth crossing the bridge is bad, but manageable if you can give her what she wants. The Inquisitor may be another story, what is to be done with her?

If you aren't... Take some time to collect yourself, that was a tough conversation. Try to think on these questions yourself, and try to decide if you're going to keep following Kalez' will. There's a lot to consider now that gets in the way of simple loyalty, like whether your boss is actually loyal to you.

This war against the unending horde has eaten a part of her. She's too weathered and hardened to let that stop her. But the bitterness she holds is a flaw she cannot see.

It is what it is.

Request further orders and end call.

I for one suggest we do as we were told and go enjoy our women. Find the scorpion and try to forget the trouble we just were in with her.

It’s surprising she gained any minions in the first place with an attitude like that towards them. You should make sure you have an exit strategy, as your usefulness to her seems to be declining.

Inner Thoughts: Odd comment about the drink, shelve it for now. With a possible poisoner on the loose, best be on guard. You focus on the Mad Creators description of Ana. He seems fascinated with her, though that appears to be a common thread when it comes to Ana. Answer his question, use it as a chance to think aloud.

"Well, judging from the name, they are Ana's voice in one way or another, but that could be in a less literal sense. From my limited knowledge on them, they seem to advocate for her, and try to act with her 'best interests in mind.' To my understanding Essence also shared this goal, albeit in a very twisted manner."

*Threshold pauses.*

Inner Thoughts: But if they are all similar, then wouldn't that also mean some of Essence's actions might be mirrored in these 'current voices?' Explore that.

"Going from that basis, one could say that Ana's voices control her actions in the same way Essence tried to. Though perhaps in a more subtle way."

Inner Thoughts: Your familiar with making choices that weren't truly yours. Father always had a habit of guiding you behind the scenes.

"The common thread in your story was how Ana had changed based off of what others did for her or to her. Her own thoughts didn't seem to be a factor."

Inner Thoughts: You only have one question left before you hit the limit imposed by father, best safe it. Merely speculate, let the Mad Creator take the initiative back.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't correspond with what we already know. Based off the artist rendition and from other sources we received, the Happy robot legs are not as slender as the arms as you say they are and they are usually concealed by their wardrobe to even make that distinction...

Inner Thoughts: Why show off the cameras? Is it a way to put you on guard, or a way to establish trust? Either way, if the Mad Creator is willing to be more candid with you, then you need to reciprocate. It will be the best way to keep him open like this. Share the way DeRvan used the communicator, but overstate surprise as a way to lampshade detail, the integrity of the investigation needs to be preserved.

"I..."

*Threshold hesitates.*

"Thank you sharing the cameras, their footage could be useful in narrowing down our list of suspects, but that can wait till later."

Inner Thoughts: Now for his questions.

"As for DeRvan's method of contact, it kind of took the agents and I by surprise. He ushered us to a room where a pair of communicators were set up, and had used a piece of Ana to attune them properly. Most of this was prepared ahead of time of course, and it seemed like DeRvan had been staging it for a while."

Inner Thoughts: But the Mad Creator did give the implication that those devices may not have been actually used. Leading to the question of 'how did the voices get there?' Maybe they latched onto Peregrine and Corax themselves? But if that were the case, then how were they not aware of you in the adjoining room? Unless...

*Threshold focuses for a moment, and then looks back up to the Mad Creator.*

SEERESS!

... Let me be very blunt with you, with all of you. There is one thing that makes a team work, that is respect. I respect your ability to read people, its an asset and one that is not to be taken lightly. I respect Algich's ability to read situations. I respect Vizzvill investigative qualities and disguises.

HOWEVER, using any of your abilities on your teammates when it is not asked for is not only disrespectful, it is insulting. If you are to be on this team I have a certain expectations of all of you. I will not have you try one up each other through petty insults. I will be holding everyone on this team to a higher standard than that. The first rule of any team is always this. "I will watch your back, you will watch mine." Is that understood?

You are all on this team now, act like it.
