Akane: "Nanako, you have shown, through your words and deeds, that you have a courageous and compassionate heart with a desire to protect the innocent. Yet it is also a wild heart, easily swayed by the temptations of lust and cruelty. You have earned a measure of mercy through your confession, showing that you know that your actions were wrong and wish to be better. And though it pains me to admit it, your actions are not altogether unlike my own attempts to save Naomi from her curse. Nanako, you must be taught discipline, to temper your desire for justice and prevent you from succumbing to your darker self again. For one season, you shall be bound to me as a student. We shall train you physically and mentally, in agility, in endurance, in self-control, and in honor, as we have trained to become a shinobi. For that same period, you will be forbidden from indulging in the lustful pleasure to which you once succumbed, whether through your own flesh or that of another, save for when we allow it as a reward for virtuous behavior. You must prove to yourself and us that you can resist these temptations, for only then shall you be absolved of guilt. Should you agree to these terms, then your first reward shall happen here and now, for her courageous efforts to protect both our princess and us. So what is your answer?"

Nanako: "My answer is yes, yes, and a hundred times more yes! I do not understand why you wish to give me a reward. I do not deserve to get anything after the way I previously acted!"

Akane: "Despite how you feel about yourself, I wouldn't be able to finish this mission without your help, and for that I am grateful."

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Agree with Bobbie.

B) Agree with Abdle.

C) Stay neutral.

D) Other suggestions.

I'm with Bobbie on this. For one, this is a hidden kingdom, and Bobbie as royalty is not as hidden, she could have spies following her that we don't know about, so if she goes out undisguised, other kingdoms will find out where she's going to, and even discover this hidden kingdom.

Also, probably don't want the sea kingdom to know we are going here, you know?

Slime thought a higher view would help so it tried turning into a drone. First it would need to copy one.

But when it tried to absorb one the thing went right through it. Slime sloshed back over to Wolf and Queen, disappointed. "I really wanted to get a high view, maybe I can just guess how it works. Like if I shape myself lik- grblbegararlglbelabelegelbleahebeleregh- oogh. No that just feels bad."

"Never do that again." said Wolf, doing her best to keep her lunch in.

"Okay I'm back. Let's look for the metal things' nest!" Slime flew off over the rows and rows of trees, Queen's swarm flying alongside while Wolf followed below.

After quite a bit of flying they found where the carts were going. All the gathered oranges were being dropped down a chute into some kind of cave. Going in they found a room full of heaps of oranges.

"Yum! I know we already ate today, but a little more wouldn't hurt right?" Wolf said, drooling.
"Yes yes, we want to try these orange fruits." Queen said.

These should be fine to eat! Time to find out if you can increase mass from this.

Also... you can tell Fox about this place, so they won't want to eat Squirrel anymore.

Some things could have been done better but at the same time some things played out in our favor. So we were lucky, Bobby should learn from her mistakes and continue to move forward.

We will have to pay attention to see if Abdle gets any negative side effects from the snake bite if it's venomous, but it seems he handled himself decently. Wonder where the skeleton guard went and why. Things probably could have gone better, but I'm satisfied with what was accomplished.

You know Gramleza still has that book, so Abdle's day ends in failure. He deserves a break.

overall though they both survived so that's a win.

To achieve the minds and hearts of others you must first conquer yourself.
Merely moments into existence and Adventure Tower reveals a convenient truth!

Goal: One Million Jumps

About how many hours should you devote to this task?

hours should you devote to this task?

My answer, yes

>>1118567
Lets try for one hour here, and see how many of millions of jumps we can get done in that time, this will give us a good estimate of how many millions of jumps per year is realistic and we can try to set a goal for progressively greater jumps year over year. Then a few years from now we can plot our growth on a chart and admire just how far we've come.

Lets also set aside some time to maybe try jumping up a few steps in the adventure tower instead of simply jumping in place.

One hour to start, just to see how it goes.

two hours, with an hour's break for lunch, followed by another three hours

Whichever stat is currently L, twice.

The shadows in the tiny voids in the concrete begin to speak to Sam. This is an entrance to a place of learning, they say. It was blocked off to prevent someone from coming in.

The world around Sam dims and diminishes so as not to steal centre stage from the concrete.

SAM: “Who’s being kept out? How do I get in?”

UBERTO: “Sorry?”

Light returns to the world and the block stops whispering. Sam is inexplicably clutching a bunch of papers. She must have grabbed them without realising. The first page prominently bears the word KLEIDAS. Inspiration strikes.

Kleidas, of course, is a name given by tryptologers to a certain perforation in the tissue of the cosmos. It is a way out. It is a way in. The power that enters existence and echoes within this pore has been known to melt padlocks and shatter deadbolts when properly harnessed.

The sheer darkness from Kleidas travels through space until it is caught and redirected by someone who has only ever used it to pick locks before.

Sam grips her hat and closes her eyes. The concrete begins to rend itself in half, and Uberto swears he can see something like gaunt hands forcing the block open from inside.

The bits of disjointed concrete now twitch occasionally, as though struggling to remain open. The insides of the block are stained black. Where it once sat, there are narrow stairs going down into the ground.

It is possible to peer down the stairs, but they rather quickly lead into a T-junction. Sam and Uberto will be unable to see up or down this passage until they descend the stairs.

It sounds as though there might be some people shuffling along this passage.

UBERTO: “Alright, I’m not sure I like this. I think I’d rather go through the window.”

SAM: “Didn’t you just say you didn’t want to break the window?”

UBERTO: “I’ll follow you down there if you go first. I’m just saying...”

>>1118562
Let's go take a look. Seems easy to retreat from the T-intersection at least.

Might as well enter just to scope things out

Go as far as the light. after that, what can you do in the shadows? Some way of sensing what's ahead?

nah, what you guys need to do is try to trick her into thinking that she's falling for us. Like every time she makes eye contact use our powers to give her a tiny vibration in her neithers and have her heat up slightly along her face, maybe take some of the air away from her as well to make it seem like she's short on breath all to make her think she's getting flustered/aroused around us. If she tries to distance herself just play the lost puppy card and say you're afraid to be alone and while she might be acting a bit odd you feel safe around her and don't want to leave her side. Make her think she's falling for us and get HER to make the first move to sell the thought that this was all her idea. That she took advantage of some misplaced stranger in his time of need to fulfill her own desires and those desires feel absolutely wonderful. Trick her into thinking she fell for these urges even if she hates herself for doing so and took advantage of a lost and confused stranger who despite his fears and worries trusted her completely and that she used that trust to satisfy her own needs.

Make her think that while we might have been the catalyst of her depravity it was her own actions and desires that caused her to fall.

Ask her about the gender stuff! If she wants to make any changes, permenant or temporary, that's definitly something we can help with!

>>1118534
Yes. Try and figure out what things she thinks are funny, and what's too far for her.

>>1118539
Yeah, no shaming her! If anything, show support for anything she's shy or ashamed of if it's something we're into.

>>1118548
This, except instead put it "Yap away. I like hearing about things that are important to people."

Oh right, and maybe we should enhance shine a bit too, slowly, over time.
At some point, her supple bum (and other parts, maybe) are gonna look oiled.

>>1118500
That's a lot of good info about Timelines. Good that we learned Nehm already knew our power before we tried lying about it. But we can still hide our intent.

Open up a hand and make a small flower grow out of the palm, but make it warp slightly when it's done growing to seem like we don't have perfect control. Offer her the flower as a gift.

"Control the universe? It's scary to think how much damage a power like that could do to someone. I think I'll stick to changing my own body for now. It feels... easier to focus on, I guess."

If she thinks we're afraid to use our power on anyone else, she won't suspect us of using invisible wisps of barely-tangible force to brush up against her sensitive spots. Get her worked up slowly until she's tempted to break her own self-imposed rules.

>>1118540
Yes, a tour definitely sounds like a good idea. But before we go out, ask about some way to hide our gem glow. The excuse is that we want to keep our powers secret ftom the public so we don't attract the attention of any stronger Timelines. The real reason is so that she thinks she has a secret of ours that gives her some slight bit of control over us.

>>1118544
Well, what I'm waiting for is a chance to get her drunk. Then we can really go wild with her and she won't know to blame us. And then after she wakes up, we can confront her about things she may or may not have done to us whi

This one!!! This one really gets it!!! This one knows the plan! I commend this one thoroughly~

Wha- pet rabbits aren’t rogues! I felt that Rudger was lonely, I thought I was coming over to a fellow pet lover’s house! I was too late to realize I had grossly misread the situation.

>>1118537
"Goodness gracious, Mister Gustave. Are you accusing me of being involved in a conspiracy against reptile-kind?"

Give him time to reply. If he confirms this, say nothing further without legal counsel. If he denies this, ask him why he's suddenly lost any concern over the wellbeing of a woman injured in the home of his employee.

You need him to admit to any sort of awareness that you might have come here at any point. Anthony claimed that Gustave had warned him about someone trying to take his girls from him, and that was the motive behind his attack. That would mean Gustave had influenced Anthony into potentially attempting to murder you.

And it's astounding that he's comfortable asking you this in front of the police. He's either incredibly stupid, or so confident in his control over them that you probably won't receive due process.

Regardless, get a lawyer ASAP.

>>1118537
Stick with the same story we gave the neighbor and lean into the persona we gave to him about before, it'll be easier that way.

"Well, I got frustrated after you shot down my ideas! And I wanted to prove you wrong by starting my own business."

Why is he even here? What? Lawyer up, don't talk to cops or their conspirators.

Whatever you do, don't accidentally slip up and mention Rudger having any kind of voice or opinion. He's just a pet!

The cafeteria. It's been a while since we've eaten something and we feel like we're starving right now.

Oh boy, now they have something to compete about, who gets the most tally marks. Or least?

Depending on whether the marks are only for the duration of their stay rather than a permanent slut-tattoo.

This could also mean punishments could be harsher than we thought, given scarification or similar 'permanent branding/marking' could be acceptable by Fey law without breaking the terms of their month-long stay.

Worst case scenario, its a timer of sorts to some esoteric Fey law that could permanently affect them (e.g. catching lychantropy, becoming half-Fey, pseudo-marriage, favors owed...)

Gabe: Use your powers of BASIC MATH to extrapolate how many tally marks you will be covered in by the months end and whether you will be banned from all polite institutions for the forseeable future because of them.

Cricket hesitantly tests the chameleon cloak- seems like it detects thoughts in some way, rather than relying on visuals, but more test data couldn't hurt.

Cricket casually strolls down the gangplank to a point directly underneath the ship's hatch, occasionally kicking a five-gallon clear synth barrel full of angry mimic so that it continues rolling on ahead of her, being careful to think only of the present and the next single step. So far so good, no response from the spotlight. Now for the tricky part.

Silver wings unfold and Cricket flies straight up, pointedly staring at the floor as it recedes under her feet. Something moves in her peripheral vision - from all sides at once, panic-flinch of "surprised, surrounded, where am I going?" disrupting her concentration, spotlight starts to flicker on... but she's already through, inside the ship.

Entry hall is almost as organically curvilinear as the outside. Roughly trapezoidal, two stories high. About as wide as a small palace or two basketball courts awkwardly wedged together. Circular patterns on the floor seem to imply the central hatch could be made to open up MUCH wider, if necessary, and some of those fixtures on the ceiling vaguely resemble what Paprika and Natalina said about the shrine where they found Milaconi's Cousin.

There are four other visible exits, all on the second floor, which otherwise seemingly consists only of two relatively small balconies or stair landings. A recessed track across the ceiling leads from the sole door on the narrow wall, to the middle door on the wider side.

An eye that stops the one thing that it stares at.
A room full of mimics.
An artifact that's too tempting to the mimics to resist mimicking.
And an anti-gravity plate to climb the ladder.

Reiko lets her ears twitch mindlessly as a plan comes together. By the time she's ready, another clutch of mimics have amassed into a stack on top of the Mechanic.

Reiko's plan is simple: Order the mimics to move (in a silly, David O'Reilly's Everything kind of way) in a spaced line formation towards the big juicy saucer. (Make sure the Mechanic artifact doesn't get taken along for the ride, that would be expensive.) Observe the effects, see if the ship escalates its response or is forced to stall each mimic one at a time.

>About as wide as a small palace or two basketball courts awkwardly wedged together
Cricket Moon has frame of reference for at least one of those comparisons.

>There are four other visible exits, all on the second floor
Alright, time to put her Jack skills to use. Sneak in first, disarm the traps, unlock the castle gates, and let down the drawbridge. Lets try the entrance that seems to go towards whatever she guesses the "bridge" is, try and shut down the grav beams first. If she can't find any obvious controls to let the others on up, work clockwise through the rest of the openings until she can find something useful to do.

Lets say 3 levels of Intellect and Speed Effort (Intellect for disarming and figuring out the controls, speed for if that goes wrong). That should cost me 4 int and 6 speed, putting me at 13/11/12. Ha, funny that.

>Paprika successfully crosses about four-fifths of the horizontal distance before that spotlight catches and pins her.
>Her Speed pool is down to zero, though, meaning she's impaired
Natalina sighs in relief when the spotlights make no effort to prevent Paprika's return, not stranding the arkus where the rest of the ground can't reach. "Are you all right? You're looking winded there."

>>1118340
>Natalina figures out that the conundary is deliberately teasing to get a rise out of her
Well, understandable, if they're bored and hungry up here. (Of course that's how one of Paprika's friends reacts).

I can't hate Pipo for her good heart, but I can certainly look down on her loose lips. Luckily for us, her unprofessional behavior is a convenient distraction from our own.

"Gilded Goose is here right now and waiting for her ID card back. What did you do with it? Where exactly is it now?"

There we go. Now she's going to tell us where to find the pre-screened ID cards that the stupid apple didn't talk about during training and Stabitha will look like she's cleaning up after someone else's incompetence. Then Gilda will like us for helping her instead of blaming us for holding her up! See, friends are useful when we need someone to take a fall for us!

And who is this Sinnick fellow? Is he anyone we know? What did he tell her, and should we be worried?

>>1118334
The "Goldie" thing has run its course. She didn't take the bait, so there's no reason to bother her any further with the wrong name.

>>1118335
No, no, we can use this.

Indeed.
Apologise for sullying GGs audio receptors with talk of underwear.
I do hope they dont think they were anything untoward.
Or embarressing.
Like oil incontinence panties.
Im sure it happens to every older model as the joint seals get loose and leaky.

>>1118337
All questions we either need answers to or for stabitha to recollect if she already knows.

>>1118339
Agreed.
Commonalities and rapport.
Hopefully theyre too distracted to be caught up thinking about our reinforced undergarments.

Pipo, where is Miss Gilded Goose's ID?
This is not the impression we should be making on such an important guest.

>>1118392
implying that Stabitha needs diapers
No. Absolutely not. That is not at all what she was hinting at. Incorrect. False. Invalid. I will accept no argument on the matter.

Stab Unicorn is a pervert who buys reploid sex toys and exotic lingerie for private use. Not that.

>>1118465
Well, i was trying to think of the most embarrassing thing that would require special underwear for a reploid.
On reflection your take with her mimicking human biological reproductive activity for recreational purposes is a very deviant behaviour for a reploid... far more embarrassing than a leaky gasket.
I wonder what theyre really for though...
Im guessing reinforced for combat purposes.
Hey stabitha.
Whats special about your panties?
Enquiring minds need to know!

Yes, I agree that losing it at the water is our best bet. If you find the river and ford it, you should be able to break the scent trail. Maybe later, you can make a song for the river in gratitude.

Good call.
Water.
Enter, down or up river then exit after a bit.
Just need to make sure to keep our bag and firemaking stuff extra dry. Gonna need sone heat to dry out when we find a hidey hole.

Alternatively if we see something like a small cave or rock gap (i.e something we can fit it but the beast won't and is sturdy enough that it can't rip its way in) we should just go for that.

>>1118187
Fair point.
If we stumble upon one, worth checking out.

Keep sneaking away but look for something to throw as a distraction. Not your supplies.

A hole in the east wall behind you leads to a dead end chamber, or so it seems at first. After a moment your a faint light catches your eye. There is a hole up in the corner leading to the dining room. You scrabble up to take a look.

Thick curtains block all but the thinnest rays of sun in the musty room. The scent of rot hangs thick on the air, no doubt emitted by the fungos you can see distantly glowing on the ceiling and walls. Their work is evident by the squared spiderwebbing of cracks above, which leak warm yellowy light and muffled talk. The combined pinpricks of illumination is enough for you to make out the bulk of a clothed table, its high plateau hosting glinting peaks of silver and crystal. Around it chairs are strewn haphazardly.

The floor is a ragged mix of half-chewed carpet, fallen plaster, and crumbling wood. It appears the rot has gone far enough to provide a number of rough holes, one of which might allow you to get the drop on your allies' captors.

Although, you recall, weren't you warned to stay particularly quiet in this room?

They're probably being taken to the dumbwaiter. Traveling through the dining room should let us get ahead of the kidnappers, which means we can set an ambush. So yeah, despite the risk, I think we should sneak through the dining room. Make sure Lisel's stuff doesn't clink while she walks and we'll be ok. If necessary, the other members of the group can carry loose bottles during the sneak. Or we can leave behind non-essentials.

>>1118338

Agree. Leave behind anything we can afford to and go through the dining room. They're not expecting us to go that way. That said, if we make noise it sounds like the master may hear us personally, so that is something to avoid at all costs.

Don't leave behind anything useful in combat, though. If that means Lisel has to move more slowly, so be it. We're not going to be able to come through this room with ghouls in hot pursuit, so we're almost assuredly going to have to fight our way out once we free the captives.

This is, you are in the belly of the beast. Be quiet, scout out your area, and not just the floor, look at the ceiling. Proceed onward with caution. The whole situation feels like the calm before the storm, and when that happens, be sure to have an umbrella ready.

Retreat. Cut the losses. There is no sense piling risk upon risk in an attempt to play rescuers. Traveling through the most dangerous room of the house in order to engage in battle is not a part of our mission today. It's worth more to return intact yourselves, with the knowledge you've gained and your abilities still at the disposal of everyone in the shed. This passage to the dining room floor may yet prove useful for transit or eavesdropping, but only if you can report on its availability, and be alive to use it in the future.

B, right.

"The waterfall is our only chance to escape, the other paths just loop into the city!" Iolantha whispers

Porala nods "everyone brace for a drop!"

Eranil tries to instill hope "Hold strong sisters and we'll make it through this!
Ushamerea whimpers as she holds on tight

the four go over the waterfall and land with a splash

Porala: perfect action!
Eranil tries to avoid injury... Success!
Iolantha tries to avoid injury... Success!
Ushamerea tries to avoid injury... Success!

We got lucky.
Not into the woods yet.
I know, the saying works the other way normally, but for fleeing elves in danger thats a good places to hide before spreading the warning...

I do hope our warrior friend is ok.

Stay alert, who knows whats lurking the woods

Yeah we got super lucky there I don’t trust what’s about to happen next

Stay alert!

What a mighty warrior! Tell him you're looking for Iagn too.

Get up. Beat this bunny or you won't be worthy of the Consort.

The Consort can have many lovers, including non people. Offer to share. In time maybe this nonperson can become a half person.

Start moaning loudly. Maybe that will make him go easy on you. Or it can make things get worse, who can say, but it can't hurt to try. At this point, what do you have to lose?
