"An electrical fire caused some structural damage to the building. We're asking everyone to stay clear of the area until the damage can be assessed and repairs are completed."

>Ask for second lieutenant Alvar Shaw. You had a question for him

He's starting to look a bit agitated.

"I'm sorry. I have something important I need to attend to. I'll tell your parents you called."

He hung up on me. Rude.

Search for information on the people who you met. Alvar and Alma must have some sort of public presence? On the other hand, maybe you just dreamt them. I mean, real people have different names.

That was rude!

They're clearly covering something up

He's basically telling you to pretend this never happened.

You're totally not going to. Get your homework done and then prepare for a raid.

They clearly seem to think they know who you are, so blowing your cover immediately is a bad idea. Is Genevieve your backstory name? Do you know what the viscount looks like? Also they might be really good at sleight of hand so make sure they don't steal your stuff.

So is this the viscount or one of the viscount's aids?

Speaking of the Viscount what do you know of them and have you ever seen them in person before?

You said your brother went the way of the dodo, right?

Well...

This person appears to be wearing a key around hos or her neck, which may match your chastity belt. You said yourself that you cannot unlock it. Someone must be able to.

This may be one the your sisters of your order who is used to under-cover operations.

This may also be the viscount, wearing a particularly depraved costume. That is the sort of party you are to go to.

Do not over-react. Firmly but politely extricate yourself, and insist that this being identify himself.

Use this as an opportunity to practice dealing with unwelcome and unexpected situations without over-reacting. Soon, to do so may reveal your identity.

My dearest Millie,


I seat myself this afternoon to inform of my health. Although I am still alive and able to get around, it seems a bout of bad luck is content to bite at my heels.
My health is not good. Mr. Garrett says I’ve contracted pneumonia, but he believes I will make it through. The gods willing, I will be back on the road come winter.

The rest of the family is all well, though Cousin Mortimer has decided to take the wife and children and leave for Hyujen. I am happy to say I have had little experience of things of war, but it disturbs my faith in my studies to see a man such as Mortimer uproot himself from his home and start a new life in a foreign land. Perhaps we must reevaluate our beliefs to keep our families safe. However, this is not the entire purpose for which I send this letter. I believe it was 21st of June that I sent you a cash letter for Two Oxet. If It has arrived by now, I pray that you were shrewd with your finances as I have always taught you, for my misfortunes unfortunately ask that some of it may be spent.

For one, a few weeks ago my cart was attacked by some manner of wild beast, and a new axle will have to be ordered from the Thompsons.

I have managed a bargain for a new Ox which I will be bringing with me this winter, so please have the old plow repaired by the time I return.

Also, please get a quote from Terry Williams for an expanded fence, as I will want to set up a bigger harvest next year.

And finally, please inform the Bakers family that I will not be home in time for the festival, so they need not bother with the usual cake for me this year.

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

The axle will probably need to be shipped, so that had better be done right away. Checking on the current condition of the plow would also be a good idea.

Also, do we have a treat for the dog? He did a good job.

Of course we are going to churn the earth. Deem is angry, it has to happen.

>>980028
Churn the Earth

Ah, a slip of the tongue, another secrets shakes loose.

If your siblings are lost, maybe your motherly nature can be of benefit. You might be a humble delving right now but once you are a might labyrinth, full of treasure and secret, who knows if you could maybe make more of your kind, and nurture them back from the edge of extinction.

But just so you know, we are going to continue to tease you mercilessly no matter how many times you get angry and snap at us.

>>980026
DEEM.

Most multi-cellular life forms host parasitic eggs of some type or another, or various strains of bacteria that reproduce and mutate while leaving the host alone. None of these are considered the host's children.

Welp, churn time it is. We needed an exp challenge anyway.

Going to have to agree with Angry Deem and churning.

Try the bio lab. Their implements should do as weapons in a pinch and it's likely to be less guarded than the armory.

What part am I to play here, and can my phone still do phone things? The top bar is gone.
Are bruises still lethal? (If so lets get taping)
She could still be OK, URC could have just taken her phone away for some fucking reason.

You could try asking him if it's still dangerous to know things, or if you're well past that point by now.
You could ask what the fuck that thing was out there. Is it even possible to make phone calls and texts now; will those go through the ward?
You can ask if it's possible to fight back against the URC.

Also, with the comment about having not noticed her before, I meant she noticed and reached out to you before you could do the same, despite her "unique" empathy and the fact that you were actively looking for her but not vice versa. Maybe she's much more astute than she acts.

inner thoughts: Toothpick misunderstood, it isn't that I don't want to hear it, it is more of the fact that I don't want Anthony to hear it because I worry about Anthony lashing out emotionally like attacking Toothpick if he listened to this story and it doesn't go the direction Anthony wanted or doing something unpredictable and dangerous like the time he rushed into the prison loudly to see Ana and almost got arrested himself.

Anthony, I request that after the story you you remain calm, keep your opinions to yourself and we can talk about your feelings and put things into perspective afterwards after the meeting with Toothpick, okay?

*is still staying with Anthony*

Fortune, let me take the reins or just answer as I do. The longer we keep them talking the best chance we have.

>>979991
To Weka, perhaps? Sot Nasau is a fortress, and tog is across the entire province.

>>980004
I mean... We could raid Weka. It's cheaper and the likelyhood of success is technically higher given that our other potential targets are hard.
But it's also unscouted so there could be unforseen consequences. We also don't get the side effect if disrupting a royalist power grab.

That said, the only real way of boosting success chance on a Sot Nasau Raid is to just pump more Kushel into raid supplies. Me have a lot to develop in the coming days and will need kushel. We could also just Buy food.

Not reaching out to Sarcra is kinda of biting us in the ass here. We've been treating the place like our own mini North Korea: As a buffer zone separating our interests from our enemies. If they fall both our trade partners will be under direct threat of expansionist royalists, and they're already operating at their limit.

I am of the opinion that disrupting Sot Nasau at this time will help safeguard our future interests while also serving our immediate needs. If that means we have to spend a ludicrous amount of kushel on the raid, like 1500+ even, I'd be behind it.

But maybe I'm over thinking and over focused on this.
If you settle on an alternative solution, I'll back you on it.

>>980005
I say we have 5 possible raid targets.
Weka is the easiest, and Sot Nasau is the hardest. We're also going to lose more supplies the longer the route back is.

>Weka
I don't know about this; without a proper road or a general strategy, carrying those supplies will take far longer than the pursuing retaliation army will need to catch up and kick down.
Still, it will take too long for them to retaliate and their fiefdom will be in danger of total takeover from Zovdeh if they try.

>>980017
Without scouting information all out of province targets are functionally identical for our purposes, making Weka the default choice due to proximity.

Tog is even further than Sot Nasau while also having hostile forces along all routes, even the wilderness route has Arglosian remnants skulking in it.
We have effectively 2 targets.

Alright now let's investigate the available ticket-giving games and take stock of our funds, see how many tickets we can make.
Also... see if any of the trapped souls here want to donate tickets to you so you can get something good.

...any way to tell what the lich's phylactery is? Or is it not an actual lich, but a strong ghost? We could just aim for the ghost juice in that case.

Might need to make a pit-stop at the bathroom. Just seeing the sign gives me the rumblies.

What if we just cheesed one of the easier arcade games until we had enough money for GUN, challenged the lich in person, and GUNNED him?

Ask the ghost many tickets he costs. If he isnt allowed to leave the booth, maybe we can buy him his freedom?

It's dangerous to spend your quarters on any game without knowing what sort of ticket output you'll get. Ask the other denizens of the arcade which machine is best for cheesing tickets.

A. Maybe B as well, altho I don't think it's possible for Kalez to discourage Lylene.

Lylene misses the meaning entirely 'A relic? iss sssub dungeon two a sshrine?'

Kalez' thoughts drift to the past 'perhaps a shrine to hubris, in my arrogance I thought I could cure them'

'cure who?' the naga asks

'The prismaticans, the nobility of Teroth. the few that survived Nerexi's invasion only to be devastated by a horrible plague'Kalez adds in the vain hope that the dimwit understands this was intended to be a hospital for them . . .but it ended up as a their tomb
'
Lylene's peanut brain lights up at the word "tomb"'ssso they all died?' she remarks.

Kalez can only shake her head'you simple fool, you know nothing of death, they suffered for month after month wasting away or developing horrid growths,it was a hall filled with screams and torment, it took five long years for King Flagrion to finally let it all end, to give up on the afflicted and seal away three hundred souls away here forever, only then did they start to die . . . '

Kalez pauses for a moment but no stupid comment from the snake comes so she continues 'I am damned to the burning hells for I could not do it, I held for a half year as they starved, with the strong feeding on the weak, and then I betrayed our King's order and brought them food and water. I could not let them all die.'

Kalez turns to her right and is delighted to see the serpent is still awake and engaged 'they're still there Lylene, still clinging to life after thirty years in the dark.

Lylene seems defiant and unimpressed.I'm not afraid of ssome old sstarving ssick people

>>979984
The strong fed on the weak. That means the ones left are strong. Also you've been feeding them so they're not starving.

"You should. Every beast under the sunlight seeks life; if it does not fight tooth and claw against its own just to survive, it will throw itself into fire just to save its successors. They are all enslaved to the perpetration of their lineage.

These beasts do not live under the sunlight. They will throw themselves in packs just to bury us under their corpses. They will cripple themselves just to scratch us with plague-infested nails. They will destroy their own souls to ruin ours with their visage.

I lost my faith in religion when it ordered me, indirectly, to create this Hell."

Never underestimate the will to live, to survive, especially from those whose life is pending from a thin thread, those who have nothing to lose. No one is exempt of this, its on our nature, and in the moments of great crisis, the will to live makes us fight on, beyond our limits, our morals and our loyialties. Only the ones that are truly strong can maintain their psyche intact against despair. That is how TRUE heroes and legends are born, unlike that horrid vixen.
Perhaps yours will be tested today and it will show your true resolve.

“Okay.” Casey nods while staring off at nothing in particular. “Wanted to make sure I didn’t just dream that.”

As long as you, Tristan, don't mind solely bottoming, I don't know that it's a huge deal? As long as you're cool with it, tell him you're ok just being penetrated by him if that's something he wants. If he wants to fool around, you're cool with that, just make sure he understands that it's fine with you if he wants to stop at any point, or if there's something he wants to try with you to see how it makes him feel, that's fine too. Or if he just wants to chill out and not think about it, that's ok, but you're currently both alone and naked, so if he wants to get a good listen? at you? or try anything he's curious about, it's a pretty decent opportunity.

I hate to say it, cause I'm all about 'fuck labels', but I think this is one of the times where labels can be actually helpful, as names assuredly have power. How about we use a word and meaning to help you make sense of a foggy concept? I believe you're gynosexual. You're attracted to what you identify and recognize as femininity.

Also, before going into explicit sex talk, ask and get confirmation, flat out, 'Do you want to talk about the explicit sexual mechanics part of this topic?'

And if he does, don't just jump to anal penetration as the topic. Ask if there's anything he wanted to say, and then offer creative solutions (intercrural, oral, various toys, etc.)

I think we should stay far away from any topic involving sex or toys or anything like that. All of that can wait until another time.

Right now, all that matters is letting Ztolt know that we’ll support him and help him figure out his feelings.

If he wants to continue the date, then we can keep going and it might help him figure out how he feels about us. If he wants to stop the date, then we can just hang out as friends.

>>979910
Tristan, didn't you also have some confused feelings when you first realized you liked both men and women? Maybe if you tell Ztolt your story, it'll help him figure out his feelings?

We follow the tracks beyond the trees, and I call Ceo on the way.

"Have you seen Mayor? If so call me back."

The tracks continue on for awhile before stopping at the edge of a back road. We look around, but they don't pick up on the other side.

"Well I'm stumped. What're you doing over there?"

"What do you smell?"

"Yet now you have to carry the weight of this pretty normal knowledge forever."

We either keep looking, or just wait for Ceo to respond.

Either search Mayor's house for secret places she could be hiding in or... the only thing I can think of that would entice Mayor would be those gas station energy drinks you guys found before. Go to the gas station and see if Mayor is craving that Intellifuck.

>>979883
So, I guess Mayor got taken into a vehicle. Check to see where this road goes. The car could have gone either direction, after all... but you may be able to tell by the tracks if the car was on this side of the road or not. If it was on this side then you can follow it as if it was driving on this side, so to your right.

It is almost halloween. Maybe the Mayor turns into a giant monster once a year.

Keep looking while waiting for CEO. Check for tracks and direction of said tracks. Then figure out where this road goes.
