The hero was carrying the captured Dissonance, she was wiggling the whole whole time.

Tiphanie: "Come on this isn't fair, I can't even play my instrument while it is tied with me in this stupid hay. My whole performance was supposed to last until the morning!"

Pieter: "That is the whole point. The more you are away from the village the more the power of your music will stick around. If your performance lasted any longer somebody would have died."

Tiphanie: "Oh please, what I gave these villagers was the most impressive show that they could see in their entire boring life. They should thank me for what I gave them, they will be telling stories to their kids of this night."

Pieter: "Yeah yeah, this isn't the first time you told me this. Also didn't you forget to tell me something?"

Tiphanie: "Oh yeah, how could I forget? I'll get you next time! Curses you you foiled my plans once again! You haven't heard the last of me! You and I aren't that different! Some people pay money to be handled this way. When you least suspect I will have my revenge!"

Don't give up! wiggle around, try to bite his dumb helmet fin

Well, you seem to be stuck for now. Try to aim for making him as uncomfortable as possible by teasing him. Call him a pervert for going after your clothing or something.

There isn’t much we can realistically do for him to let us out of this hay… Oh! While he’s forced to listen to our grumbling, ask how he was made aware of the herald of chaos summoning stuff. He shouldn’t know about that!

Try to flirt with him

C) Your dad said that because a princess is a bargaining chip. You're your own person, you can be with whoever you want.

Its too soon to make this some kind of official thing. Lets see where it goes without making any sort of announcement. But you don't have to hide it either.

Possible answers to the question that was asked for the first question:

A) I am not sure if I am willing to experiment that much.

B) Maybe I am willing to give it a try.

C) Definitely, I won't miss it that experience with you.

D) Other suggestions.

B) if you're trying new things then might as well. Take it easy though, no rush. Remember, you're not dying today

B

B)

Hey wait, throw a tantrum and yell at him and explain this isn't fair! (several furious foot stomping for comedic effect)

if many DEMON LORDS leaving before whatever he's calling the MAIN EVENT is is breaking the rules, angrily ask why ANGELS and FALLEN ANGELS get to break rules and invade FAUNUS early?! And why didn't anyone tell you there was an oddly high number SUPERPOWER kin on that planet?! That can't be fair? Can't he just cut you DEMON LORD refugees some slack??? That damned Randalph did not tell you about these circumstances you signed up for!

Well he did say he’s playing with his food, which means he’s more bored than hungry. I guess ask him what he wants from you. I’m sure he’d be tickled pink by the thought of a demon making a deal with an angel. The irony alone would probably amuse him enough that he’ll at least humor you.

Seduce him with your modest chest and foldable frame! Or at least long enough to make another getaway to the castle.

Try to fist fight him.

> but I was in the area and I thought I smelled something tasty…

This implies that he wasn’t here just for you. Exactly what was he doing here before you came back to your home, you’ve had enough invaders for one day.

Strings eh? Think those are literal strings? Because if we can trace them in some way, they would lead us right to the puppeteer.

Both. Are aware of how Ana as an entity works? When she dies, she becomes a spirit voice that connects to the next incarnation of her as a guide. We know that Happy made the being known as Essence of Life and manipulated her plenty. However the purpose of Essence was to get rid of the other spirit voices. The problem was two fold, the spirits voices were very tenacious, and Essence was too wild to truly ever be 100% under Happy's control.

So what does this all mean? Happy did want to kill Ana however the purpose was in order to start her over. If the other voices were dealt with and out of the picture, then Happy would be free to control Ana himself. However, it would work best with a clean slate. a new Ana that had no personality, no background, the perfect canvas by which to mold her into what he needed.

Uh, no. I was hoping we could just follow a string because that would at least be straight forward.

I'd support Sala over Shio. Shio' a loyal friend, but if he got recognized, that could complicate things. Too big a player to keep this case small. and a gambling hall for 'high rollers' is the kind of place that would recognize him. Then everybody thinks "what's he want from those files?" Too much mess. Sala's got what we need, brains and muscle

>>1108224
It's worth noting that Shiokara is currently working undercover and spends a lot of his time as a spy. So despite his high ranking position in the den, I don't think he throws his weight around in person. His appearance and position might not be common knowledge.

That said, I will have a blast no matter who you work with, and I think your choice of Sala has real merit and potential. Just wanted to make sure you knew what's what.

We need a tie breaker. I'll just roll a D3 if we can't get to one.

She says with a soft smile, Audrey the mouse, also leaving the bathhouse after her, her stress clearly lessened, yet still ready to be on the defensive at any minute.

“I’d be quick you’d say?” I say with a devilish grin, she rolls her eyes, then steps above where I’m sitting, clearly looking down upon me.

“Look, I had to make sure all of it was out. You might not care about looking like a beast, but I do, and with your current look, it’s only an matter of time till you resemble an monster.” She says with quite a lot of sass behind it, I like this side of her a lot better.

“Do you prefer beasts then? Cause I could ruffle my fur if that’s what you wi-”

“Don’t be so arrogant.” She says, bringing down a paw to lift me up.
“We only tolerate each other’s presence, because we want something from each other.”

“Mmm, I don’t know, if you cared bout my secrets, you’re a vagabond, you could just stab me, and steal my secrets.”

“Oh yeah, your weird voice gems, what even are they by the way?” She says in a questioning tone.

“I don’t know; I found four of them in some abandoned ruins, deep within the caves of Ashbark, back when I used to travel around. Found out they could speak; and kept them ever since.”

“Are you telling the truth on that?” She says curiously.

“Why would I lie? I’m sure they would say the same thing.”

“What do you mean by they?”

“Oh, I apologize, it’s a single life-form spread across the four gems, it can decide to switch its perspective whenever it wants, and talks to them through them, I just like to refer to them by their gemstone, to differentiate between them, specially since they can switch who their talking too real quick.”

He's just trying to figure you out, same as you're trying to figure him out. Looks like you've got similar professions.

as far as conversation topics it seems you're both interested in the politics of the region. you could compare notes

Don't really get the feeling he's trying to use you in a dangerous way though, but he is confident he could beat you in a fight if it came down to it.

Also he thinks you're kinda chubby.

He called you chubby.

Tie the balloon to your tail, then it will be away from your stabs

Wait, does that mean Energy Capsules are lighter than air?

It's just one balloon! Hold it for me while I use the scanner, it's right-handed!

Yeah, tie it to your tail, Stabitha!

What about her pointy ears though? I think she should instead cover her horn (and ears) with a wooden cork or something similar if she can find one, that way, there’s no worry if the wind increases.

Do reploids even drink wine?

Tie it to your horn, that way it will always be floating above and away from it.

(also I know it's not time travel, but that kind of precognition kindof works that way. If you can see/know what you know in the future then you also know that in the past/present, which means you knew that before you found out in the future... which would mean that either you forgot at some point between those times or the prediction isn't 100% accurate. Seeing your own thoughts in the future is an inherently paradoxical situation. Since you did just say you chose to forget, then I think we can conclude that you will some day find out what those stars are, but you chose to forget that you will. Like us explaining your nature to the robolds, it is not time for you to know the nature of the stars. ...you did try talking to them, right?
Then again, knowing every permutation of every molecule, every possible result should actually be impossible unless information is stored outside of those molecules or stored information isn't visible, simply because of how informational entropy works. Maybe it's some 4-dimensional entity hax. Also, calling it the Library of Babel is interesting, since it implies there is a high percentage of garbage data in it...)

(sorry to keep sending you messages, I don't really expect a response. Maybe you can reply when we talk once more.)

(oh wait, I think I understand now. It's not precognition, it's not looking into the future, it's entirely predicting what's going to happen via extrapolating from initial conditions. Sam knows everything that's going to happen via the mechanisms of *determinism*, and has chosen to forget it. Yet, nothing in that foreknowledge includes the stars because they are not a result of initial conditions. Wouldn't that also mean that they'd throw determinism out of whack, due to being a source of outside information?)

You climb up and take a look out of the hole. The entry hall is just as empty as before. Shrill wind leaks through cracks in the high windows, bringing flakes that dance to the floor. Far, far above, almost imperceptible in the gloom, the menagerie of puppets emit gentle creaks as they twist in the breeze.

With a rustling Sorrel climbs up your back, surprisingly light for her size. "Hey, we looking to bypass the next bit? I can hear a few moving around, but with how many chambers are down here I can't get a fix on direction. If there's another hole in the floor we might avoid them."

I think you mean *wasn't done*.

F,A) Regret, yours and theirs, that your most intimate connection with most people is so final. But its still a connection, so keep petting.

F) HATRED.
(And love)
No matter how hard you try to crowd out the emotion with corruption, self-destruction, and willful ignorance, your heart boils with a gruesome, impossible ambition:
You want Heaven to die. You want them to stop corrupting everything in the universe with sickly Light.
A) Pet it more. You're in too deep.

F) Admiration.

B)

C, A

Lust, but not necessarily in a strictly sexual sense, but rather, desire. Desire for connection, desire to fill that explicitly human shaped hole that effectively *is* your being.

When's the last time you operated outside of survival mode? When was the last time you had a break? A vacation where you didn't have to look over your shoulder constantly?
When was the last time you got fucking sloshed with a friend you never worried would stab - or need to be stabbed by- you in the back later?
When was the last time you shared a bed with someone in an encounter that didn't both begin and end with weeping, curses, and the weight of reality pressing down upon you both?
When was the last time you had a real fucking hug?

Infact, fuck petting that monster, fucking cuddle that thing.
No matter how bloody or beastly it is, there comes a point where human desire crystalizes, metastisizes into a need- a point you crossed too long ago.

You'll take what you can fucking get.

E, C. We really should know better than this.
But we've made worse decision. Possible.

Let's save the shotgun for the next melee guy.
His blade is out of the way, time for a quick thrust (followed by a quick pull back to avoid a possible retaliation).

>She should really apologize
Instinctively, Jess feels an urge to make Henry less mad at her by begging forgiveness, but this seems like a case of ‘she should have known better’, and such a reactive apology might come across as hollow without proper thought behind it. Jess knows she has a tendency to act based on social cues rather than anything in her perverted heart, and the fox tries to think about where she went wrong.

Yes it was a sensitive subject, but that’s part of what makes it funny to Jess, like when she told Henry not to kill himself before camping solo. People, especially depressed husbands, really do like to go out in the wilderness and blow their brains out. Realism makes an ironic bit of black comedy feel relevant, gritty, and fun! These damn woke snowflake libs really can’t take a joke anymore.

>Would a kid fix all of this?
A conciliatory child would not be good for either of their psyches. Jess is smart enough to know not to bring a life into this world as a bargaining chip. That ship has sailed, so to speak.

>C, get an outside opinion
Jess is an expert rationalizer and a well-adjusted adult, there’s no winning against her mind in isolation. She needs to phone a friend to figure out how bad she actually fucked up.

Jess props herself up on her side and painstakingly messages Terrence. She’s so fatigued that she has to take a break between messages to muster willpower.

Jess: Terry my boy I am some kind of weird freak
Jess: I also have food poisoning I’m dying
Jess: The point is I made a morning sickness joke because I was throwing up and Henry got mad
Jess: Honestly I thought it was kind of funny but Henry’s been sore about life recently so I’m wondering if I went too far.
Jess: But like I’d do it again and I know there’s something wrong with me.
Jess: I’m not like other girls uwu
Jess: I guess I’m asking what do to not be mean to Henry even though sometimes I want to be mean to Henry because I am mean

TerTer: Is this part of your marriage trouble? I remember you mentioned it’s been a little rough recently
Jess: Yeah
TerTer: Hm…are you feeling okay? You must be really sick.
Jess: Eh it’s shitty but whatever. Asked Henry to come home early for work but he was busy so I’ve been handling it.

B. It'd be nice to talk about it with someone other than Henry. With him, it's a sore spot and the source of your current troubles. To an outsider like Terrence, there's a lot more to it, and much of it is positive.

While I am deeply tempted to take what little dignity Baphora has left, her underwear's unlikely to make good equipment and we only have so much time. We saved a lot of time by going directly to Herocea, but every bit of time spent armoring her costs us more of an advantage

...That said, if we can find a use for the elastic in Baphora's underwear, that might justify taking it from her. Perhaps some kind of sling as a weapon for Herocea?

>>1108081
Thinking about it more and, yeah, a ranged weapon for Herocea might be useful. Lets her take use of her height to hit targets long before they can get to her. The Harbingers don't have any ranged weapons either.

Making such a weapon might fall outside the remit of 'armorer', but maybe the goblin smith would be happy to help?

Investigate the Light

We do need to figure this out before the home freezes, but it would be good to unload some supplies first. Lets ask Galena if she knows anything about the light on the way.

Heading back will give Galena a good view of the whole island, and yeah we should go grab Fern.

...

Also, our island has likely changed in our absence, I wanna see if that hot spring really did appear.

I'm pretty confident we'll have an opportunity to return here to give this place a more thorough go around, but I've got the feeling it'll be more dangerous next time we come. I really don't like the idea of keeping that laser voidling alive, especially since our island is going to come into close contact with- or even possibly get stuck floating with- this one.

>>1108016
She seems to be a lot older than you.
And taller.
Plus shes giving off a big sister aura.
Aaaand a nickname would be a sign of affection.

Never mind.

Fern, drop supplies.
Ask galena about the light.
A good plan.
Maybe get her input on the island on return if there arent anynimmediate emergencies to deal with.

>>1108016
Yeah, we can head back and regroup. Further exploration can be a project for tomorrow.

Currently thinking:

Roger: Lure

Pushers: Bec and Clive (bec probably has the strength of two younger kids, so it'll be like having the strength of three people up there, but with the less likely to be spotted with just two people.)

Backup: Enid and Albert. I recommend Enid attack first before Albert. Enid with the knife, then albert follows with a cane. Probably not the best choices for backup, but I think our chances of sucess with just bec and clive pushing would be pretty good and wont have to worry about backup. with both Enid and Albert as backup, they might be able to have a higher chance, if little. I would have Clive instead of Enid, but his fear is too high, and is a better pusher.

>>1107893
>Backups: Clive (Nonlethal) and Enid (Lethal)

keep in mind: it was stated that the characters themselves would choose the method of disarming or lethal. I don't think we have the option for Clive to go nonlethal if we wanted. If Clive went for the cane, theres a chance he'll use it lethally

also consider: with clive as a pusher, he is very silent, less chance for the pushers to get spotted, especially if we have Bec with him as she is the strongest.

After much deliberation, you come to your conclusions.

Roger: “Alright, I’m going to act as the Lure. It just makes the most sense.”

It felt a bit cowardly, giving yourself the job most removed from actually killing Sheppard. You doubt anyone will call you out on it, as the logic holds up: You’re the fastest. Still, part of you can’t shake the idea that you’re only agreeing with the suggestion because you want the easy way out.

However you feel, you won’t wreck the plan by letting your doubts shake your resolve.

Roger: “‘Bec, Albert, do you think you can work together if you’re both Pushers?”
‘Bec: “Can I? Yes. Will I? No promises.”
Albert: “Just the two of us? Are you sure?”

It’s definitely not the safest option, as ‘Bec will have to carry more of the effort to make up for Albert’s lack of strength. Still, she’s the only one here you imagine will be able to carry that weight.

It is still a risk, but putting someone else up there with them would put whoever the sole backup is at a far greater one. You can’t do that to anyone, not even Clive.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'll decide later, but I'm leaning towards A or C. I think Roger is fast enough to keep his distance from Sheppherd and take corners quicker in halls. I advise against B, we need this trap to be less obvious, especially with who is pushing.

1. Since we have Albert up there, it might take more time for the trap to spring, I don't care if Bec and Albert being enough to be two kids pushing, because we don't have anyone other than Clive or Enid up there with Bec, this needs the blinding to happen

Plus, I feel Roger is too selfless and too caring of others to have them be put in danger and would probably be more wanting to take that risk

A, 1. While Roger isn't the top tier athlete Lillian is, he HAS been playing baseball (much to his chagrin, he's been liking it). I think we have a decent shot at him being fast enough on the initial appearance to pull both off.

A horrible creature, made of black metal and twisted ropes, bursts shoots out of the darkness.

Before you can react, you are all alone, you have no ally with you, and the beast bowls you over before latching onto the tree to try to extract the spear.

Now is your chance to act. You can try to rush past the thing and go down either path, retreat into the darkness, or potentially engage the horror in combat. What was it saying? Something about being alone?

That spear is shaped such that it will be nearly impossible to extract. Also that looks like a ministry construct to me. Blue aura, and wearing a suit. Maybe you shouldn't attack it?

Identify yourself to it, tell it that it is fine for you to be alone as you are strong enough to defend yourself, and your allies are not far away.

Also, it's alone too. So its own argument applies to itself.
...unless it's not alone and more of them are going to come out of the darkness to attack? In that case maybe you should run... I'd follow the thin footprints since the rabbit is gone.

It seems too fast to outrun so try talking while its occupied.

Ask if they need any help with that. Not that you actually would, but it might confuse them enough to actually talk to you.
