You give an enormous sigh and try to sort out your thoughts before you answer. Maybe you’re already too jaded to deal with this kind of thing. You definitely don’t think murder solves any problems, but you sympathize with rebelling against the corrupt forces in power.

The kid’s probably been traumatized by losing her dad and is getting used to being a werewolf without a good or understanding support system. You decide to offer her some honest advice.

“Look, you can do whatever you want with your life, but I don’t want to get involved anything suicidal. I think you’re smart to go after the only mob family member who wouldn’t kill you for threatening them, and you’ll figure out a way to get closure eventually, hopefully through something healthier than revenge.”

Daisy reaches for her coat and half-heartedly shrugs it on. She doesn’t say anything.

“Becoming a werewolf is going to have huge consequences for the rest of your life, so if you need someone to talk about it, I’m here.” you say. “And that WA meeting seemed okay, Polly wants to talk things over with you and I bet you could play up the pity card to get some free potions out of her.”

Daisy snorts. “Yeah, I bet she’d just be thrilled to see me again.”

You kick a tuft of snow. “She’s a bleeding heart rich person with a brain. She knows her sister is fucked up.”

You turn to face Daisy. “Speaking of fucked up, who’s the asshole who turned you?”

The dog bristles and doesn’t meet your eyes. “None of your business.”

“Whoever it is, don’t trust them. Report them to the police if you can.”

Daisy jumps to her feet and growls deep in her throat. You feel yourself start to curl your lip instinctively. “Shut up. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” she says.

“You think I don’t? Being a werewolf is serious! Anyone who would do that to a kid is evil, even if you asked them to.”

Whew, you’re getting worked up. You take several deep breaths to calm yourself. “Just—I don’t know. I’ll see you again if you go back to the meetings, otherwise I don’t want to get involved.”

You turn and walk away into the brittle evening. Daisy doesn’t follow and you start heading for The Deez. You can get there early and help set up the bar, see who’s working tonight and commiserate about the customer service experience.

It’s cold enough that you cram your ears into your hood and put your hands in your pockets. You’re halfway to the club when your phone buzzes.

You squint at the bright screen. It’s from your coworker Jordan. The message is in all caps.

GOD IS COMING TO THE DEEZ TONIGHT!!!!!! D:

If it was a group of Tetras I'd agree with you, but these are locals. I think they might be investigating the debris field? Plus if they were Tetras, they'd be perfectly capable of getting through my shields or worse.

The Panoptes should serve as a useful distraction. I command it to follow the flattened grass path. Once it's far enough away it will trigger its self-destruct. It shouldn't be too obvious; previous experience tells me it'll zero out its systems and then detonate a microscopic charge to shred vital circuitry. Just to be safe I cut off my connection.

I follow the Panoptes for a short distance, being careful to be precise. Spotting a promising looking tree, I spring onto a sturdy branch and hide myself among the foliage, tucking my tail up behind me.

In the still evening air I can hear the soldiers as they approach. There's about eight of them. The one I assume is their radio operator (or RTO) occasionally pauses to listen to an incoming transmission and answer it. My ELINT drone breaks the encryption as if it isn't even there. Most of the transmissions are something like this:

>Bulsa Tas, suul vi Bulsa Gar. Wa varuba vu suul wolas, sojo.

I hold my breath...

...And they take the bait. One of them - the squad leader, I presume - points at the Panoptes' tracks. The RTO transmits the following:

>Bulsa Tas, Bulsa Gar. Ulsar brisa tuwi gusar, brisati hol, sojo.

The squad begin to follow the path, oblivious to my presence.

Several long minutes pass as I watch them recede into the distance and down into the valley. Just as I'm beginning to relax, the ELINT drone picks up a new signal well to the east - a Titanios's search sensor! Strangely, it only emits for several seconds before dropping offline. I don't know much about them since they're so new, but Titanios drones are heavy weapon platforms.

>What should I do?
>A) Remain still for a few minutes longer to see if that's all that happens.
>B) Drop down the far side of the tree and make a beeline for the radio mast.
>C) Write-in.

>>1006344
If a heavy weapons platform is searching for something, it's probably going to be a target. You don't want to be where it pinged. Get moving. B

>>1006344
B. Something coming into sensor range then immediately dropping out strongly implies it spotted you.

Head for the radio mast. If it scans infrequently, make sure your position isn't up to date.

...Make up our mind, INTUITION! Is Shimon's problem something completely different from academic incompetence? We should be pushing him for a job change if he needs to stay here to avoid trouble at home. Or is he just a really bad spy? I'd still probably suggest a job change, then. Or, would have...
>Really long, obtuse questions
Encourage these students to seek (paid!) one on one tutoring in which to handle these longer questions, as you have to share very limited time resources with the whole academy as of present. If they cause you more stress there, they're out more money and you have an excuse to ignore these questions in the TA class. Which, uh, do you even have a class to TA without Shimon?
>Copcanum
Copper+arcanum, Sherlock. If you can find plain copper, experiment with that in runescripting too, just so current & Saba's Knowledge can compare notes.
Take Ignis' offer, or, failing that, get a 2 bedroom apartment in Midtown! You can offer to share the room with Noodle.
Time: Continue your education with a hunter class. Continue building your mind palace via meditation - build ANGER's DOGHOUSE.
Goal: Start an underground (so to speak) skunkworks. Somewhere to further your research of runescripting, without releasing this knowledge as it comes. The Queen will have a pretty little stockpile of surprises up her sleeve, and you won't have to worry about sabotage as much in your pursuit of knowledge.
Understanding: what are the humans planning in our worldplate? Be sure to read up on lots of news to fuel this investigation.

IMPORTANT: hide your notes in your Dimensional Pocket. Something tells me that someone might try to steal it... like Shimon for some reason

UNDERSTANDING's Task: try to figure out what is going on with PERSEVERANCE,
or
Have UNDERSTANDING look into those attacks against the RUNESCRIPTERS

GOAL: Figure out what is going on with PERSEVERANCE or Figure out what was with those attacks against you and the Runescripters

RUNESCRIPTERS BACKGROUND PROJECT: since dad won't be going to get that HORNED MIST PUMA until time point 10, lets have the runescripters design a mist dissolving device or something to see through the mist with the Runescripters. It'll take 8 timepoints to complete something like that, and it'll take 10 until father makes his trip. best do this now.

To help with that background project, lets have UNDERSTANDING team up with CREATIVITY to help with inventing.

IDEA: during your time as a TA, lets talk to SHIMON about him becoming a magitech teacher at DOPUS, DOPUS might could use the knowledge of MAGITECH over there. You'll let Nubs know about it and try to figure out arrangements with her, and probably invent something for him to breath underwater next year with the RUNESCRIPTERS (since we're working on something to see through that mist for father)... but make it clear that during classes you are TAing, YOU WANT TO SEE HIM STUDY THE NOTES YOU GAVE HIM. If he is interested, ask if he can invent those goggles he uses at the beginning of class to help decide which scriptingmanuals to give to students each year.
either that, or we could see about teaching him how to teach more for one of those goggles he has

>You head out, searching for MARTH, you’ve been doing so for the past few days but have no luck. You search for SHIMON, no luck there either. Eventually you head to the administration and ask what the deal is. It turns out that MARTH left the city in the middle of [TIME POINT 8], they were supposed to stay until the end of [TIME POINT 1] but there’s been neither hide nor hair of them since

Wait, them as in plural? does that mean Shimon's gone too? wonder how this will effect our job as a teaching assistant. if classes are cancelled until you become a teacher, we might need to take a BLACKSMITH JOB next semester to make ends meet, could help with inventions.

Shimon is still there teaching, Marth isn’t there, I originally had an edit where both were gone, the wording is an artifact from that that I missed sorry.

I think we should ask about the conditions for which teachers can attend classes.

I ask because we have only 12 Time Slots that can be allocated toward CLASSES in our postgrad, but we still need 6 Time Slots to complete the HUNTER course and 2 for ARCHEOLOGY.

I assume that we'll be able to sit in on archeology (or otherwise study it our-self), but with Hunter being very hands on and two-part, I worry there may be restrictions.

In anycase, we need a Hunter's License to leave the world-plate (Something we'll need to do eventually if we want to find more advanced runes), and I worry that it will be much harder to obtain one should we NOT take advantage of this course.

In that vein...

As for the whether or not we pay Ignis I think we should hold off on it for now, but promise to pay him back later.
If any of our other friends feel weird about taking the offer because they can't pay, offer to cover them too once you start your teaching job.
We should definitely take advantage of Ignis' hospitality, but we need not take advantage of Ignis.

She reached out her hand to shake with the person who clearly was maybe a powerful ghost or something for as much kit as it had, though it's ability to stay corporeal in sunlight was weird.

"But, I have an idea, and you can trust me, but you also can't attack me for doing it because we're a team, and I don't know how well it will be to get back up. But, also I might want to wait until you aren't so... Pokey, I guess? Since I would need to carry you. And in the mean time, I can make everyone food? I brought my good cookware."

What Comes After looks... Disappointed. "No... warriors." it breathes quietly to itself. "Troubling. This... one... will have to... do most of the fighting... itself." they mutter quietly.

If you just want a fireman's pole for descent down to the ledge, the bees could have that ready inside ten minutes, then fill in stairs around it afterward.

Alright, well, this will probably be a dumb idea, but Ana sees no other way to deal with this particular problem.

"Order all of the bees to within a few feet of me." She says, loud enough for she hopes Stallion to hear it, as she spends a second transforming her arm, with a single twisted black crane wing shooting out of her mass of Cloaks and Robes as she steps into a stance as calm as a river before ascending into the cloud of bees building, admittedly slowly because of the fact it's just one wing. And while in Crane Form, she will prepare a defend other action on the group of bees.

I am prety sure that if we look that list we will recognize certain tan ave who helped us (Faspan). These nice bounty hunters might be those from whom that ave was hiding.

I would prefer to not intervene, but we are already doing are since we agreed to help Faspan before. We can take a look and if they detect our reaction we can always say we saw someone who looked like him near a tabern (which is not untrue).

If they are searching for that ave, I want to know what he has done. I don't want to sell him, but if we are going to help him I want to know what we are getting into from the two sides of the story.

Don't look at the bounties. You're already helping a probably-wanted man. It's best to stay neutral anyway.

Just decline the bounties, none of our business

Eh... We may want to look through the bounties. Not to be looking for trouble though, looking at who we should be avoiding.

You lie like you fight, which is to say as if you never have before. Just don't look at the bounties and you have plausible deniability.

You flip to a news channel, a PSA is on, you only briefly give it any attention.

A new study shows that consuming certain cold sugary products produced from the LYLUK BRAND in excess may cause periods of delusion and paranoia. It affects certain demographics, namely Hippo Beast-Kin more than others.

On screen is an older man who looks similar to Bobby Slurps. You briefly wonder if Bobby is the only of his kin that has that REALITY DISTORTION ability. And what it means if he’s constantly drinking those SLUSHEES. You’ve been drinking them since you were a kid and It’s never been a problem, so you shrug it aside and stare at the cieling.

You just want to keep sleeping. Just a bit longer. You’re sure you could do it. You don’t really have anything planned until 12PM with ANDREA. You were going to have a picnic, and probably lots of sex. Though she said not to worry, that it wouldn’t be too intense. You were also planning on convincing her to join you on the Dungeon run. There’s that RATIOLATRY meeting you could go to, but is it really worth it? You’ll probably catch it halfway through or near the tail end. You let out a sigh, you REALLY don’t want to get out of bed. It’s nice right now, like a dream where if you blink it’ll be gone, never to return, ethereal forever.

What do you do?

You need some incentive to get you out of bed.

Breakfast! Let's see what's good to eat.
Too bad we don't know enough of Will's likes yet to surprise her with a breakfast in bed.

Good to see you again, Cat. Happy SUNDAY MAY 22 2029… Goddess it’s hot. Cat only has long sleeved hoodies and turtlenecks? That is not good for this weather. Just go topless today. Also, is Callan back yet? We should call him over before someone like Isabella or her spirit sees him or something, at least until Cat gets dressed... Maybe we can talk more about karma today?


For now, my idea is: Wait for Willamina to wake up, Cafuné her when she wakes up since Cannie said Willamina loves that. check your comm for updates or messages. afterwards, get dressed (no shirt today, too hot), eat, shower.

We can see Rex, Callan, and Mint afterwards and see how they're doing and let them know today is a fun day, let them goof off. If Mint complains, aggressively tell her that’s an order, (she seems to like being treated like that) she can survive one day to have fun, We got like, what? 4 years?. Maybe also tell her to keep her awakened power a secret for now. warn Mint of animals burning so she doesn't get burned while fucking animals during her free time in her cat form. Maybe we'll learn of that clinic thing from Rex if we ask him what he saw on the news yesterday? if not him, then Andrea later And we can find out a little more of Karma from Callan too.

If we have time after, we can probably give Rex's roach army powers, and go to the second half of RATIOLATRY (so we can meet Random)

Normally, I’d say, read that Libarby book, or study that Magic Dart Body Cultivation Manual to begin learning that OP move, or read more of Saba’s journal
but…
Fuck it. Yesterday was a fucking day, today is a fuck all day. Cat is overly stressed, if he gets any more stressed, he’ll suffer from depression, so he should spend this entire day for FUN! Make new friends as well strengthen bonds with ones we met for potential dungeon mates, maybe even awake some people. We can do that producti

Extend the precious moment for, oh, about five minutes, then mentally get yourself ready and raring to go. The date with Andrea, you hope, should go well regardless of how the pitch goes. She's... uh, quite eager and you hope to end up pleasing her in at least that regard. You're also interested in talking more to her about her POWERS - how would upgrading them even work out when it's a passive thing?

Do a comms check, get breakfast, and touch base with your cohort (WILL, CALLAN, MINT and REX) about their plans for the day. I think Callan and Rex are the only ones without concrete plans? (Mint was at the brothel and has Tinker stuff to work on, Will's gonna convince Gena to join.) If so, tell Callan you want him to accompany Will, since there's a possibility Isabella's top has blown from recent events and you want that other spirit kept in check a bit - and you can see it, while Will can't, so there's that.

Maybe he can figure out what that thing's fucking deal is?

Rex, hmm... he's been through a bit, so he can be free to pick who he wants to go with - or if he just wants to chill with a sugar cube and keep an eye on the Winnabago he can do that!

Also: Don't worry too much about thing you can't do a lot about. Cannie, Isabella, Miss Iraphena, Max - you'll face these people and their matters as they come. If you can get ahead of their situations and troubles somehow, great. If they come to a head, so be it. You've got a plan now, a goal to work towards.

Finally, here's a repeat MINT INVENTION SUGGESTION:

Spend the CRYSTAL on a DEFENSIVE ENERGY SHIELD invention. Mint did mention the LAST BASTION of her world was kept safe thanks to an ENERGY SHIELD that held up until, like, an actual ARMY of FALLEN ANGELS attacked long after the invasion stage, so even a WEAKER version of that sounds like SOME SERIOUS DEFENSIVE

Hmmm, I'm pretty nervous letting Callan follow Will, people who are bounded with a spirit can see other spirits, and if Isabella sees Callan, it might not be good, especially if she has been spying on Willamina often. Maybe at most we can let Willamina borrow our demon eye amulet instead while we hide Callan in our stomach for awhile? She has a high enough cool stat to keep her composure if she see's that spirit. Not like we'll need the amulet today, our team is supposed to spend time having fun anyway.

We should try to keep Callan hidden from Isabella until she leaves back to the city this Tuesday (probably dont have to keep him in our stomach all the time though)

"O-of course. I will do my -uh- best to advise the a-agents."

Inner Thoughts: This is bad. Dervan is looking for leverage on the case so he can't be removed from it. Worse yet by being the one to 'bring in' these -voices??- he may be able to elevate himself into a higher and more entrenched position in the investigation. He's also created a situation were you're isolated from the others, without them as a base of support it will be much harder to put up any resistance.

*Threshold crosses his arms in order to keep his hands from shaking.*

Inner Thoughts: You need to calm down. Triumphant has already shown that he's keeping tabs on the situation, if Dervan gets violent with you he and the other agents will know. But your best defense is to play along and not make yourself a target like Corax. Throw yourself into the exercise, make yourself indispensable. Breathe first.

"M-mr." *sigh* "Mr. Glasshrauder, may I borrow that file? Any information in regards to their psychological profiles or personalities would help in creating a more effective line of questioning."

Inner Thoughts: Back down if he gives any resistance. Use the communicator, hide the fact that you were contacted.

*Threshold activates the communicator and says:*

"Testing, one two three. Mr. Corax, Mr. Peregrine, can you hear me alright?"

Inner thoughts: If there is one thing I cannot stand it’s department politics at play and it interfering with my job. Triumphant, I may have overly judged you. If someone is guilty of a crime they should be punished. But, this notion? Gods? Absolution? I have no idea what any of that means. Finding that out was not my job description. I’m here to bring a criminal to justice and Dervan once again poking his head in where it doesn’t belong, this feels like he wants us chasing a red herring. Well, we’ll just see where this takes us.

Greetings to you, Fortune Ana. My name is “Corax” and you may refer to me as such for the sake of this call. I represent an organization known as the “Dimensional Tribunal.” I believe you and some of my associates here have already been aquatinted. And some of my investigative colleagues are looking into a case concerning one “Happy the Tragedy Phantom,” and believe you may aid us in our efforts. Understand this is not an interrogation, think of this more as a interview.

Inner Thoughts: So the file likely contains blackmail or convincing fabrications, though Dervan did drop that note about lying so it could easily be an empty folder. In either case the supposed contents therein will likely be more about the others than yourself. Still, be cautious and apologetic. Maintain your composure, he's still being diplomatic with you, which is a good sign.

"My apologies sir, I did not mean to pry into your personal logs."

*Threshold looks to the rooms where the two agents sit.*

Inner Thoughts: Dervan has spent a lot of time planning this scenario, and has already preempted Triumphant's interference, you worry that Corax may not be subtle enough to direct the questioning. You will have to side with Dervan in any altercation and possibly be the one to strike out against any perceived resistance. But you will have to be careful not to incriminate yourself, that'll just give Dervan the leverage he needs.

"We'll get to the bottom of this Mr. Glasshrauder."

Well, i am dumb for riddles and puzzles. I can play a bit of chess tho, and i am good at Bloodborne. What kind of intelligence does that count as?

>And as Zaton forewarned, the last riddle is who is whom.
Ok, so we already established this right? We should put all the information we gathered from these two so we can make one final guess before taking the decision, no?

Remember: The one with the mark on her ass is Mala, the infertile one!

Which means Mili, the fertile one you’re looking for, is the one that doesn’t have a mark on her ass!

Erm, one worry: is that mark the right one? You can only see half their asses right now.

Another worry: they noticed the mark and erased it then put it on the wrong ass. But it's not that easy to remove ink, so if you look closely you should be able to tell if they did that.

>>1006252
>>1006255
I highly doubt that. We were in the middle of the lunch rush, so they would’ve been too busy to do anything like that.

However, I’ve got another way we can identify them:
Mala is the one we ate out while we were under the counter and she cried out Zaton‘s name. On top of that, the entire time we’ve been here, she’s always complimented something Zaton did.

Meanwhile, Mili isn’t interested in Zaton and she just now said that he acted like a twit.

Meaning that Mili, the fertile one we’re looking for, is the one that isn’t interested in Zaton.

After jumping towards the cupboard shelf, you're now able to what you can eat.
>What's the haul?
The giant could do with cleaning the cabinet once in a while but you what you'd expect in a kitchen cupboard: bread, potatoes, various other vegetables, grain, eggs, all appropriately resized of course.

Bread and onion, I guess, although some salad oil or chesse would make it a lot easier to take.

Try to pack some for later.

Spill some oil on the bread and enjoy fancy eating, then stuff yourself with the vegetables while you can.

He already said Rokof. We know who sent him. We need numbers. Soldiers, supplies. Where do the mercenaries camp? Who leads the mercenaries, who leads the Rokof? Is there a conflict we can exploit? Are there blind spots in their camp? What's his anal circumference?

Stuff like that.

You asked, he answered, and Oklak translated between the two of you.
"The Roh-Koff clan is lead by a matriarch. She leads the roh-koff warriors and debt-bound clans

"Debt bound?"

"Yes like this one. He says he is bound to serve Roh-koff to pay off his clan's debt. He also says Roh-koff owns other warriors. Not debt bound. Bound instead by trade. I don't understand it"

"Maybe they trade warriors like we trade men. Doesn't matter."

"It does. The traded warriors are lead by their own leader. A patriarch Dokra. He says the Dokra and Roh-koff matriarch don't always agree. They argue over where warriors eat and sleep and who goes where and when."

"So there is a divide. Good. We can exploit-"

"No. We can't. He says after we-I- took the hunters, they think something dangerous is out here and now coordinate. This one" he shakes the nightblade "was one of the first. They will send more based on the ones that do not return."

You summon as much of the clan as you can. Guk cannot, and that is fine. He is injured and must heal. Men are precious more now than ever before, even if they are insane, stupid Odd Ones like these. Oklak was not excused however, and instead was brought to the gathering even as he claimed the nightblade. You do your best to ignore them as the slapping noise makes you think about what it would be like to get pups from the Horned-NO! Ash and cinder you are certain now that smell you picked up was a woman completing her heat cycle. It's bringing yours early and you are having inappropriate thoughts!

"Our priority now is the Roh-koff clan. This is the camp as told to me by the nightblade" you point to the ghostskin whose mouth was plugged by Oklak's hand. "There are three ways in, with two guards on each. One from the Roh-koff debt-bound, one from the trade warriors. They are expecting the nightblades to return soon and if they find him missing, they will know where we are. So I plan to ambush the other nightblades as they arrive. We will take the nightblades, and the guards so nobody knows which ones were missing. It will give us time to plan a strategy to attack the Roh-koff leaders and remove this clan as a threat to us."

"Um. I know this isn't related, but we still have untamed females."

"What?"

"Yes. The young neh-yah-ka, and the dah-een Guk returned to us. We cannot leave them unattended. The gob-lee have helped the clan, but I do not think they are good at fighting; and the half-people are heavy wit

Tok and Bizangi should act as bait while the rest hide and wait for the attack, but befor that we need a way to spot them, the female Nietch can help you with that, she is suppose to be trained, thought is weird she did not alert about the Roh-koff until it was too late...

Okay, first of all the twins should focus on healing Guk as much as watching the females. We have enough of them that they can watch each other now right? And the sooner the neh-ya-ka and dah-een are brought into the fold, the sooner they can be put to work. Now as for the plan.


Oklak will go hunting for a carcass. We'll need it for some blood magic later.

Tok will play lookout with Bizangi to find the nightblades and see where they return to camp from. Then, when the blades return, Sizzala hits them hard with her blood magic using that carcass and her talisman. That thing that choked the dah-een? We hit all the ghost skins with it. Make them suffocate so when Waya goes in with Bizangi and Oklak, they can just beat the stubborn ones out or kill them. Then we take all the bodies.

We'll make Roh-koff think there are a lot more of us out here than we actually have. Either they'll turtle up making it easier for us to pick them off, or they get stupid and send detatchments out for use to kill with blood magic.

Either way we wear them out.

Force Beaconluk to lick the trash for putting you in this situation

Excuse me I meant Lhomar.

There's probably a half eated hamburger in the trash, which could be useful for a variety of reasons. And a piece of extension cord used for autoerotic asphyxiation.

Before we take any secret exits, go destroy those computers so that nobody can use the cameras to look for us.

Warmth is critical in higher elevations, especially if we’ll be camping overnight. It’s worth serious consideration, and is in no way a distraction from other questions weighing on my mind.

Parkas are a solid investment. They’re lightweight, and if Landi’s dimensional inventory is based on weight (and not volumetric space), I have the luxury of being able to invest in items that are very space-inefficient, such as feathers and down insulation.

Fires will be essential for cooking and warmth in the evenings. I should make sure my flint is…

Wait. Dotti is a fox spirit. She should be able to make fire… if she has access to her magic. I need to investigate.

Dotti is ahead of Landi (of course), and she seems preoccupied by a chocolatier’s display. I pull Landi aside and ask her a quick question in a hushed tone.

“Do you sense anything different about Dotti?”

“She kinda smells skunky,” Landi says, breathing heavily.

I lean in. “That’s physically. I’m asking about magically.”

Reward Dotti for gaining her powers back! She deserves all the attention from everyone.

Conduct experiments on her powers. If she can throw fireballs in a snowstorm, that's going to make survival much easier.

If you ask me, honesty is the best policy. Just be frank with and don't hide anything.

Best we tell the truth

You will have to try and be more specific. The weight of gravity, the feeling of the cold snow, or the general sensation of feeling anything at all?

I just realized that once litany's allowed to feel it, they're likely going to be in throbbing, excruciating pain.

>>1006067

For the level of agency his brother, Fletcher, demonstrates, I wonder if this is truly a dream, or whether we're viewing subconscious thoughts and old ruminations in Gabe's mind, given a more familiar form.

It would make sense, admittedly, if what we're seeing is not so much what was, as a construct of Gabe's recollections made manifest.

If so, then the loss of Hammond was a significant wound in those days. It's a wonder the situation has not tainted his approach to gating magics, nor his studies.

>>1006068

Ah, seems they're finally beginning to feel the cold. We might wish to hurry before our angel comes to harm.

Someone should talk to Litany about whatever that is. If it's gravity, it's what keeps you connected to the ground and let's you interact easily with everyone closeby.

Also it sounds like hammond is kind of messed up and can't deal with friendships that aren't going the way he expects them to.

>>1006068

Holy shit, I thought him being gracefully weightless was just a conscious fae magic thing. They really did fuck this poor kid up with unnecessary magic, didn't they?

No wonder he's so maladapted.
He's not just a born and bred indentured servant, he's so far removed from reality by his bindings he probably doesn't have any frame of reference whatsoever beyond his servitude. Jesus. Fucking royalty, man.

You need to up your confidence. Assert dominance. Push back against him.
"Why must we be enemies?"
The second he begins to respond, SLAP YOUR HANDS ON HIS ASSCHEEKS
If he's surprised by this, push him down onto the ground and sit on top of him (not on his dick, his chest) to immobilize him!
Regardless of whether that works, say
"I am not here to attack you or Tau. That is not part of my mission."
if possible begin stroking Sampi's cock, then look to Tau
"Do you have lustful feelings for each other?"

If they do, make them an offer: You can sterilize them, and then leave them alone, not telling anyone of Sampi. Part of your mission is to sterilize rogues - not report them to Delta. They can have each other, and you can continue on your way.

In the end, I'd say sterilizing Sampi is much more important than sterilizing Tau. A female rogue agent can't impregnate other female agents.

“Yeah, what Arthurius said!” Landi says. “No fighting! If you’re gonna fight, take it outside! Look, you’re scaring Mary!”

Mary had immediately skittered under the table when Alma started freaking out, where the view is much better (and safer).

Cat: Woah Woah Woah, I really don’t want there to be a gunfight, this is supposed to be our fun day.

Willamina: Uhhhh yeah, I’d rather NOT have to fight right now. That gun looks like it fires METAL BULLETS and I’m not into dying right now.

Willamina and cat both fidget with something underneath their table, they seem tense.

Cat: At the very least, please don’t use guns with REAL BULLETS, just like fistfight or something.

Arthurius takes a quick glance at Franklin and Serah to see how they are responding to the situation. They are still making out not even aware of what is happening. He puts his attention back at Alma and Grim

:Alma, if you don't want to risk your clothes getting stripped off, just leave the game and go home, Grim, if you kill or severely hurt Alma or anyone here, the queen is disqualified, and I think that will piss her off. Plus, scaring Mary might make your queen mad at you. Just dare somebody instead.

“I love the feeling of sweet, sweet victory,” Landi says, swaying slightly, the absinthe finally catching up with her. “Hey. I’m not cold anymore! I’m nice and hot. Hottttt. Is this what being Alma feels like?”

She flaps her wings to try and fan herself and nearly falls over.

“Oh yeah, I’m all outta dust.. ugh! Who bothers with the laws of physics anyway? Nobody cool, that’s who. And I’m super cool.”

“Ah thought you said you were hot!” Mary says, giggling.

“You know it!” Landi looks down at herself and lets out a giggle. “I can’t believe this. I mean, it’s strip poker, but still, hoooooly shit! This is, like, super weird for me right now. I feel so naked!”

“Ah don’t even feel naked and I am naked!” Mary says, lounging in her chair. “Naked is just a state of mind. Yer as clothed as you wanna be.” She taps the side of her head with one claw.

“I’d rather be much more clothed than I am right now,” Chinzeth mutters.

“Ah think you look great, your grace!” Mary says, shooting the queen a wink.

Arthurius picks up his net and places it on the table, being prepared to hand it over to Landi.

:”Well, this will be the last time this ol’ thing will be in my possession before I hand it over and get my sis to make me a new improved one… hahhh, the memories I had with this thing... I kind of wish I had some way to demonstrate how this net works to you by capturing one last nightmare with it... but, there aren't any nightmares around… hmmm...”

Arthurius thinks about it for a moment then gets an idea. Not a good or bad idea, but an idea nonetheless.

:”I guess the best I can do with it as a demonstration right now is to kinda fan somebody with it to cool them off… so... who wants to get fanned? I’ll only do it for one person!”

Landi springs to her feet excitedly, stumbling around more than a little bit as she steadies herself. “Oh! Me! Do me! I need a good blow-dry!”

:”Errr… my net is not a blow-dryer, it doesn’t even heat up, but whatever, I’ll give you a good fanning”

Arthurius picks up his net, gets up from his chair, and starts fanning Landi in her direction. However, considering Landi’s small size, the wind from the fanning proves to be a bit too strong for her. Her wings catch the breeze just a little too much and she whizzes a few feet across the table like a shuffleboard puck, coming to a rest just at the edge of the table next to Willamina and Cat’s seat.

“Whoa! Almost landed in Kit Kat’s lap!�

There’s a giggle from under the table. “Wow! Is this all for me?”

Cat lifts Landi back up onto the table. She’s sporting a big grin.

:”Errrrrr...I don’t wanna know, just take the net, and please don’t break it. And, well, even though you have something to protect you from nightmares, I still hope you use my services all the same.”

“This is real nice! I’m finally gonna fix my fox!” Landi beams. “I’ll think of you every time I get a good night’s sleep without a squeaky pillow!”

:”I… have to strip something off too along with giving away the net as the dare says, right? Lemme mentally prepare myself for this please.”

crispen: try to attack Falune... though if hes too far away to do that, double move and get between Skal and the queen, block his way so he cant attack the queen

Crispen, attack Saw.

Snowpea: fly northeast and above the gap between the buildings so no one can hurt you and shoot Skaal

Most of our troops are currently engaged with an enemy, so pulling them away would be ill-advised right now. Let's try to resolve some of those conflicts by having Crispen attack Sedsed. If we hold off on sending Snowpea out for now, we can make a more informed choice on where to place our ranged unit based on the eneny's final positioning this turn.

Crispen, chase after Skalda.
