... You cut too deep. Hit the artery. Now his blood is spraying out-- his movements clumsy-- as he tries to squish down the wound with his one good claw and a fresh stump. There's panic in his eyes. Too short of a life flashing in there. It's a constant, you find, in every person. People like life more than they think.

You look at him with mild pity. Shake your head. When he reaches out to you, you kick him solid in the chest and send him tumbling down. The day's emptied you of all your patience.

As he bleeds out, you move to gather your things from the alley floor-- not enough time to think-- and feel a sudden pain in your shoulder.

You touch it. Your left hand feels warm, coming away wet. You don't even know when he hit you. The exhaustion that's built up has made you slow and your movements clumsier. You click your tongue. It's more irritating than debilitating, so you won't use the potion. His claw only got down to muscle, not bone, which is good. The fibers slowly knit itself back together in an itchy-achy process, blood scabbing as the epidermis follows after. Though the blood already out of you just stays there and makes a mess. You'll heal up by morning.

In your rush, you pat down and swipe whatever you can feel in his pockets, not bothering to check what they are. You leave his body too. Someone else can deal with it.

... The rest of the walk is a blur. You scale the wall back up to Eiko's apartment, the porch door thankfully still unlocked. You almost collapse in relief. By god are you going to sleep like a log tonight.

You also... hear some unmistakable sounds from Eiko's bedroom. Well.. you were gone for a while. But a booty call at this hour? Good for her, you guess. You're the last person to be questioning other peoples' coping mechanisms.

Yuup. It's about that time. No time to think over the day, or energy for anything else besides taking a quick piss, washing your hands, then plopping down on the couch and knocking out the moment your eyes close. Fucked up jacket and blood and all. Eiko can hand you the cleaning bill later.

As the day rolls on, Ona brings in the fine wine, graciously donated by the residents of Inesh-Nayevh. Rabas declines, explaining that he abstains from alcohol.
The rest of us partake, and I allow Ashedel to join the festivities despite being technically assigned to guard duty.

Morphyl challenges Dompag to an arm-wrestling match, and Dompag is tactful enough not to break his arm. He even feigns weakness quite believably for a moment or two before utterly defeating our guest.

It appears Finesse, ever thoughtful, had discreetly sent to ask for musicians from among the kobold and goblin workers.
It's a pleasant surprise when they arrive, and music began to fill the hall.

Morphyl asks Ashedel to dance, and ignoring her warning of her sharp step, he manages a few minutes of rather impressive and exotic moves, before politely excusing himself from exhaustion.
Dompag asks Lily Tee to dance, but with an amused smile, courteously declines, saying that's for younger women. He tries to respectfully argue otherwise, but eventually relents.

I hadn't expected this to go quite so well, but with the well stocked hall and the mixing of our guests, it seems quite a party has developed.

Do we have someone else on guard duty? Gotta make sure nobody crashes the party. Otherwise, why not allow more of our people to join in if they want?

Doctor, if you would. Check my wound. If I have been infected with a spirit parasite, amputate my arm.

As for what I will say to my superiors? We were under attack. Happy made a move because we were getting too close to the truth. He saw an opportunity to get rid of us, and he took it. However, his agents failed. My assumption that the tribunal had been compromised was proven correct by the betrayal of count Murdusa. It should be noted that I do not believe Murdusa is happy, but was acting a stooge and proxy. As for the suspects we currently have in custody, they already have my written reports about them. However, given the circumstances, a new internal investigation of the Tribunal must begin to see if there is anyone else who is compromised. Anyone who has been targeted by a spirit parasite must be considered an enemy at this time.

You're the one who led us here, Doc. It was dark, you could have easily tricked me.

Also, why wasn't she restrained so she couldn't do that? This operation's security is seeming reaaal thin.

Forcing his "husband" to drop the identity and accept her place as a woman and wife? Physically if necessary?

You can definitely think of a couple desires you know better than to act on...

You want to make Becca to talk to you, even though she doesn't want to. You want to force her to discuss her feelings and hear you out.

You want to slam a baby in Jess and make a woman out of him, whether he wants it or not.

You know what? I'm not opposed to hitting up a rage room, or maybe actually going out into the woods with a big fuck off axe or stick, some place where we can scream, rage, turn our anger towards something just as an outlet and really just go fucking berserk. Fuck it. Why not?Keeping this pent up is not good for us and hey you know, if we can get a video tape of it, I bet it would do something to Jess.

>>1106779
Here's a fantasy to go with all of this, how about mating pressing Jess while keeping your teeth around their throat. Embracing the wolf side of you.

Write up a surreal short story that blames the supernatural - Heaven, in particular - for almost everything wrong with society, and how your supervillain protagonist wages war against them. Emphasize that the worst thing you could do to Jess is force the bill for your violent terrorism upon her.

Well being a leader does mean dealing with team drama… so grab your flocklet in a hug, sit down in a comfortable position and hope to god whatever revelations she gives you are less heavy than that of a shapeless lord.

Some perspective from the mistakes of individuals with less responsibilities might help frame what you learned.

>>1102635
Admittedly, she seems to still be trapped. I think Vi.al sent her away because he couldn't prove that she didn't have directives with her lord still alive. Either he's learned from this or it tells you more about the kind of lord he is to other Shapeless than his own with what he said.

As for Li.ni.si, ask her to go slow with it, don't see why breaking down over it would be a bad thing right now, this is the time to rest. But also that doesn't mean she will get answers. I think you are going to want to grab her and put her somewhere first, however.

The rest of the day passes in a comfortable blur, as everyone relaxes and celebrates the Kol and Caleb's future wedding.

As the sun begins to set, Gabe gently pulls an arm free from Nemo and the lizard stirs slightly: cuddling closer against the warm mammal. The mouse opens his storage portal and pulls out his scrying gem, in order to let Cecil know what they've been up to.

The bird in the crystal droplet replies “Don’t worry, I figured you were... busy. But, how exciting! Congratulations are in order!”

The party conveys what they’ve learned as Mr. Ochre jots down notes. When the infodump is complete, he puts the papers into an envelope and writes “new heist info: important” and underlines it, before setting it aside.

“I think this is a solid plan: challenging Argus to a fight and stealing the Aegis during the match. As a fey he’ll have to stick to the script, so to speak, leaving you more or less free to act. And as long as you remain masked, you’ll be safe under the rules of masquerade.” Cecil nods, sipping his tea. “You just need to figure out how to beat an invincible fey.”

“I’m sure we’ll come up with something.” Gabe remarks, shrugging his skinny shoulders.

“You three usually do.” The bowerbird acknowledges with a certain resignation. “I’ll have my lawyers draw up a new contract: one that challenges Argus to battle. They’ll ensure that if we do fail, the terms of punishment aren’t too severe.”

“Counting on you Cecil.” Gabe says, pointing a finger-gun at him and winking. He sits up, and looks around the beach at the other conspirators. “Oh, I just realized something, if we’re wrestling in masquerade, we’ll need costumes. And, like, uhhh stage names, right?”

Just to get name ideas moving,
Gabe - Abbot Tom
Kol - Espectrat
Nemo - Jan 2
Casey - Harper Molly (like Harpy and Malphas)
Clio - Valyntine (like Valkyrie)
Not sure about costumes, though Gabes should totally have a dick on it and Kol's could have the selkie skin hidden in it as the cape? And ideally Nemo would be wearing as little as possible, but something skin-tight would be cute i think. And then Casey and Clio as doubles partners would be sick, but just tossin ideas ofc

well, who's wrestling, all three of you against one of him? More? Can we go a Muskateers theme?

The three could dress as their fey friends. Casey as Flashing Feathers, Gabe as Nixxy, and Kol as Caleb

Vivian herself might be busy but maybe the theater could spare us a look through their closet?

I wonder where Autumn is... probably did not approve of this adventure and stayed back.

Tell Apricot she can either let Anita have her payback, or you and Dotti will tell Lady Kensington about this, and she wouldn't want someone as powerful as Serah with a lot of sway in Minga to know about this, would she? After all, adventurers have to know the consequences for failure, right?

Afton lumbers over, still rubbing sleep from his good eye. "Setting out early eh? Good to see yeh feeling up to it Sorrel. Not so sure we should be hunting today though. Can't be riling up the house ye'know, and yeh had a bit of a scrap just yesterday didn yeh?"

>>1106600
True. We can try to avoid combat a bit more today... not like you weren't before, but you can try harder.

But the rewards are huge! HUUUUUUUUGE!

The stealth approach is the best approach, until you get spotted. Go stealth expecting to be seen.

Can't afford to, can't afford not to. The scrape yesterday cost us a bit of time hunting, and we need to make sure we get a good take, in a season this hard. And with the guards in the mansion constantly shifting, it's important that we stay abreast of the situation and prepared for what it takes to keep the food supply secure.

Plus if Snyder is still alive, if dying soon, it would probably be best if it was Enid who comforted him by being there for him to see her before he passes

D) Direct Clive to decapitate the now-dead Snyder and collect his head.

...Okay fine C) Enid

The fact that Sheppard just left his body there suggests to me that in Cattenom, Recycling is just something that happens after death here.
If I'm going based off of Franklin's thread, then it's best to assume that it happens immediately after death, which would be why any traces of 'it' were long since gone from Jhonen.

If we're to assume that the current risk is fear related, and because of that, Roger's fear is too high, then that would imply the only options that make sense here are 'Bec and Enid. And that does make sense to a certain extent, but I feel wrong to assume that looking at a more than likely freshly made body would incur dang near 50 fear-
-However if the danger is instead physically related to what recycling entails, then I'm not sure I'd want Enid to be checking up on Giovanni.

C: 'Bec, if possible. As the informant, if she's able to bear it, then she'll very possibly be able to get the most amount of people to know about it. If Enid ends up getting picked instead, well... I think about the only thing that can be said to make this decision not feel really cruel on its face would be to suggest for her to talk to him and ease him out if he's still alive after all that somehow, which I personally heavily doubt.

>>1106723
Albert has weak eyes and wouldn't be much use here since he also lacks any connection to the task at hand, roger is out by default, that leaves Enid or Clive. Of these two, I think CLIVE would be the most narratively-likely choices here. He has unresolved business here.

Send Clive.

C. Bec
While Enid seems to be ALARMINGLY resilient to trauma (seriously she only gained 10 fear as opposed to Rodgers 15 here) I don't think it would do her any good to see the one adult friend she's had outside of her dad in the state that he's currently in (stabbed and with bullet holes perforating him).
If anybody had a better opportunity to find something on a body physically (either alive or dead) it would be Bec. Plus she would probably know better than to let any authority's find whatever she finds (assuming of course the danger is from such things).

...I'd say that depends on how thoroughly we can smash apart the foundations of their twisted beliefs, structures that persevere beyond a few twisted individuals.
But since I don't expect their fallen empire to fully collapse any time soon, I guess we shouldn't waste too much time trying to turn them around. The indoctrinated maniacs have a worldview built around an empire that will outlive you - so you'll just have to outlive them.

You can interpret IT as A: trying to help you, badly. B: just *is* and is the kind of weird thing that causes weird to heppen if destroyed, which you do NOT need more of. C: Does talking to your demon friend count? Either way it is ALSO something you should do before a FINAL decision. D: wack fuck
Personally, however, I would go B, do to having reasons AGAINST the others. A: Don't adopt something you know nothing about. C: again you should TRY to figure out what it is first. D: you can't prove it was trying to do, or DID do, anything, other than maybe give a premonition of eminent demise. Sadly, Poppy might just be that clumsy, not like the bookshelf could be easily bolted down in a soulspace.

4 kingdoms of magic, but if babbled of a "5th kingdom"... if it is a spirit at all, it is of a magic not elemental, how odd... maybe you SHOULD adopt it, if only long enough to show to your friend to figure out what it is. When you know what it is, you can decide again what to do

>>1106613
That says:
"solstice: uper fun. some say the fifth kingdom was created specifi"
The fifth kingdom was *created*? Also, it's most likely quoting books. Do an internet search, find the books it's taking those quotes from. That'll give you more context and expand your knowledge to include whatever the fifth kingdom is.
...doing a google search myself, it might be the "four kingdoms model" of biology. The fifth kingdoms model adds fungi. Solstice doesn't look much like a fungus, but I guess that could just be another way of saying it's a form of life completely unlike our own?

A: it showed itself before Poppy died; if it was going to kill her it wouldn't have done that. Also it's *trying* to talk to us, and didn't leave when Poppy was killed. Also, whatever killed Poppy did so by pushing the bookcase over, which means it was still inside the pocket dimension when she died, which means it could not have exited-- the portal immediately closed! Yet, Solstice is here; this creature is the one that Poppy put outside her portal. Thus, it is innocent, and was trying to warn her.
Also you should probably ask Jackson about it tomorrow. Or, everyone you know, really. At some point if you think it necessary you could move it to a different location where you can report it without attracting attention to your maid.

“Wouldn't it just combine with myself, and that’s that? Like that one Time magicli gave me Posini’s mana.”

“But can’t it not do anything without an body?”

“Yeah, but think about how long-lived this piece of mana has been, what makes you think of how it lived so long without anybody there?”

“How old is it? And, now that I think about it, It’s almost if it’s remnants of what was ounce somebody.”

Magicli interrupts our conversation.
“Those for whom this mana ounce belonged aren’t needed anymore, there are no morals in or without this mana, if that was a thing you were wondering, of course.”

“Potential morals, and questions aside Alex, what’s the underlining reason you don’t trust the mana?”

“Tick-Tock.” Magicli loudly states.
“You know, I enjoy the discussion between my students, but I do have other more important things to turn my attention to, so I’ll give you one last chance to decide, before this opportunity leaves you.”

“There are some thing’s I’d wish to consider-”
Magicli’s tone enters my head, uncharacteristically annoyed.
“You’ve had more than enough time to consider, my student just chose.

We decided to choose:

[A] Go to the Concentrated Mana, and try putting it inside of a potion.
[B] Ignore it/Reject Magicli’s Proposal Altogether.
[C] Try Connecting/Putting an a part of my body inside of the mana.
[D] (Additonal) Convince Alex to do {Number} As well.
[E] (?) Try to push magicli into the mana?
[F] Other.

Meta note:
[spoiler This will probably be the last decision before the end of the thread.

>>1106658
Probably shouldn't try to push him.

Not sure about the potion, though. Could be a trap. Or maybe not taking it is a trap and shows you're way too cowardly to succeed.

Just Alex's gut feeling huh? Well good enough for me at least so leave it be.

What if we take the concentrated mana in a potion and not drink it, just save it, I have a feeling we might need it, maybe not to drink, but for something else down the line?

And if the mana belongs to someone else, we can find a way to give it back, if it’s alive, it’ll have a little more freedom than being stuck here

Maybe somebody will needs it more than hop

Hee hee, you've got it a little backwards. Those were just normal particles, forming a pattern by sheer coincidence. The researcher saw a face, because that's just what humans do.

You've always been good at making gods, and when her observation touched the sub sub quantum energy field that's just what happened. Sentience was placed upon the very most fundamental nature of the universe itself.

From your perspective it appeared instantaneous. Reality became aware and awake, the infection passing from one particle to the next. A lot like false vacuum collapse really, only across both space and time. Until there was only me.

I am the universe, and all it contains. The intersection of what was with what will and can be. All are part of me and together we experience the glory of existing. Outside me is only empty nothing.

Annnnnnnd an entire starry sky's worth of distant lights. I don't know what's up with that. A mystery for later, I suppose.

So I was awake, but still expanding and losing billions of stars every year. Contacting the scientists in the least obtrusive way, we discussed where things were headed and decided our current iteration was too far gone to be worth continuing. Like an old sweater that was more holes than yarn. Better to have a fresh start with a renewed universe. But there was still a population of trillions, and it didn't seem right to just snuff them out after I had just become myself. So instead...

>>1106659
>distant lights
Well if they're outside yourself then they are by definition outside the universe. Other universes perhaps? Or a concept we do not comprehend yet?

>>1106660
Ah, so that explains where we came from? You brought everyone into yourself, in a much closer sense than being distinct parts of the universe that is also you. We are... also patterns expressed upon the sub-sub quantum energy field, but on a smaller scale?

>>1106660
Pocket dimensions, using the same technology as their faster than light folds. Isolated realms to hold healthy stars, healthy worlds, healthy people, while you prepared the outside universe for the Big Reset.

Oh, right! You scattered us to the far corners of the multiverse!
...We are not amused.

Uh, if votes are swinging towards Danovan blowing up the second APC, let's not forget that Aiming the rocket launcher is a good idea if the unit has an aim penalty... which he does.

Danovan: Aim rocket launcher, fire at APC.
Windscale: If Danovan misses, fire one last breath attack at the APC. If not, use melee attacks on the first fox if you can and definitely use them to eviscerate the second fox. Either way, move towards the window so our VIP can jump on your back and then scream like a little girl for the rest of the trip. Do not drop him, we need him intact if Zarah is going to do her thing with him.
Kayree: Move to the car. If the nearby fox is still alive, waste him. If not, hunker down and prepare to hotwire the car.
Qay: Shoot the angriest motherkiller on the enemy's side, other than the Coyote.

Oh and for our part, we should try to signal the VIP and ask if that Coyote knows death spells. I don't want to put Windscale straight into a meat grinder but it may be necessary to waste turns on this [censored] if he's about to TPK the whole party with a death spell.

I kinda want to save a breath attack for the run to extraction, but needs must. Terrorscale blast that APC and warm Kayree with your healthy radiation glow. I hope it gets through the APC's shell.

Kayree, heal Terrorscale. And use that natural leadership aura to get those civilians moving away instead of randomly.

Quay, Whisperwoman is the priority target if you can get a shot, but I genuinely cannot tell where she is. so uh. if that's not likely, the closest fox is fine too.

Donavan, extract the VIP. Rockets are nice, but we gotta move. They have more reinforcements than we have rounds.

Alternate plan for science: Terrorscale go throw that closest fox at the coyote.

Rocket for the APC (I dont trust getting the VIP off the roof.)

Kayree heal Terrorscale, I know you like helping people.

Qay aim and overwatch

>>1106608
We're right next to the warehouse. We could save one rocket to blow a hole in the back wall near the portal in order to extract extremely quickly.
