Haha, either she totally misunderstood that, or she's not telling us something. I mean, she doesn't need to be awake at night to be able to know what other people do. They could simply tell her during the day?

But let's ignore that for now. Yeah, I was thinking about going for a walk as well (something tells me she wouldn't be into racing with ATV's on the beach atm). Go pay the bill. (I thought about asking the waiter to get some violin music going, or even fireworks, but that would probably not be a good idea either).

Hmm. Maybe she’s not telling something. But you may try to probe that line of questioning later.

You feel you’re just about done eating. You signal the waiter to pay the bill as your date finishes up. You’ve been thinking of multiple places to go—such as a carnival or nightclub--but you’re always rounding back to walking on the beach.

“Oh?” Miki cocks an eyebrow, “I don’t think you ever mentioned her. I don’t suppose she’s the jealous type?”

“I mean...” he shrugs, “Not when I knew her. It was just one of those things that we tried, but didn’t work out. She is a bit, uh... unpredictable though.”

“Suddenly, I feel a lot better that I’m fireproof...” The baker fiddles with her ring. The flame ward burns from within, clasped in the hands of a golden dragon.

“Ooookay, so what should we do?” Kol asks.

“I- I don’t know. I don’t think she’s used to, you know...” Raithe shrugs and waves a hand, indicating the shop and city, “...mortal things. Where we’re from, things are a lot more... fireproof.”

“Oh fuckin’ lichfire...” Caleb mutters. “We better find her quick. You two wanna come with?”

Miki runs her fingers through her dense fur, mentally debating. She sighs, walks over to the door and flips the sign from open to closed, tucking a piece of paper in place to apologize. “I hate to miss out on today’s orders, but this kind of is our mess. Raithe, are you gonna be okay coming with us?”

“I- yeah. Sorry everyone, I had no idea she might, you know, show up.” He sighs. “I hope she’ll listen to us.”

"To stop burning stuff by accident? I don't think she'll need much talking about that. But she will need talking to about other stuff, I imagine. We should probably head to the scene; no matter how well you know her, she's a stranger in (to her) a strange land, so we'll need to do some good ol' fashioned detective work."

Yeah that's not good. There are now multiple search teams checking out the entire shelf since some alarm was raised and from the sounds of things, they've got equipment on hand to incapacitate you.

I think the best thing to do is to keep our distance from Matteo until she enters the spa, then go around her and and investigate the green voice.

Leave the clothes behind and escape naked. I mean you have a cool super power and it sounds like nudity isn't that big of a deal with a lot of people.

We can't go around nude at all times, we developed clothes for a reason.

>>957512
Of course we're not going naked at all times, we'll catch a cold.

But in this situation, we're just only temporarily ditching the clothing as carrying them around would be a hassle and Matteo might see flying clothes while we carry them, and we don't have the time to get dressed with Matteo coming this way. Plus we can't be invisible while we wear clothing.

Right now, we don't want to get caught by Matteo(?) while they are investigating. That "pop the can" they mentioned sounds intimidating if they do find us. It is best to just keep our distance and spy on them.

Once they leave, we'll dress up again.

One-Tail: "Strike!"

I try to duck the attack, and luckily all that gets hit is my poor hat.

One-tail: "Hah! I thought you looked a little familiar-"

No, don't say it...

One-tail: "Sugar Cane! You got a lot of guts showing your face here!"

Damn it, what the hell did she do to piss off the cult!

>>957497
The candle went back down. Also IIRC that's not how cultists die, they turn to ash and leave their clothes behind. That was a fake body. One that the boss is somehow able to cast through, since it was able to make that shield.

>>957502
You can ask her later. Tell the cultist you're not Sugar, and to be honest you're tired of fighting shadow clones.
Considering all the graffiti around, I suspect the real boss has THREE fox tails.

>>957505
>Considering all the graffiti around, I suspect the real boss has THREE fox tails.
Makes sense to me -- so this one in the ring isn't the real deal either.

Sugar must have ripped the cult off or something. I think we can use this case of mistaken identity to our advantage -- we might be able to cause her to reveal herself by making her angrier.

Say something like, "Yeah, you got me. I wanted to tell you I'm sorry... sorry I didn't scam you losers twice as much when I had the chance!"

>>957502
Tell her that you’re sick of everyone calling you that! That’s not you’re name!

>>957502
>Considering all the graffiti around, I suspect the real boss has THREE fox tails.
It’s either that, or the number of tails is the number of clones that can be made. And with two tails gone, she’s only got one clone left.

I’m not sure.

Choose Haley, but make a casual inquiry about if Leon can join in - he sounds bored.

Attacking before winter might be a good move. We can lick any wounds we receive while waiting for shardfall to end. Perhaps send both armies, just to make sure the fort is crushed.

>The spies report that the fort is crammed with slaves that went unprocessed. Apparently a barge from Gamin loaded with Westerlanders had been beached, and the prisoners fought their way free, and are now lead by a Tsang Naji proclaiming herself queen of the island.

>The story has a lot of holes in it, and the slaves have a suspiciously large amount of gretling weaponry bearing an unknown family's crest. It's not Gamin so it couldn't have come from the ship, nor is it Deinoka so they couldn't have looted it from the fort's stockpiles.

You receive a missive from Aligos.

Sister,
I have camped my leklos not far from the Fort as per your instruction. We really need to come up with a name for it. I can't keep calling it 'The Fort'.

Additionally Lady Kavonika has arrived not too long ago with her Leklos. Neither of us have proper siege equipment. Kavonika is formidable and I can can hit quite hard with my blade, but I doubt either are enough to break fortifications. Are we going to lay siege or is this some attempt to marry me off to the Karver?

It's not solely an appeal for marriage.

But between you both and the local greenery, surely you can think of something? Ladders, or tunnels, or a magic spell that can crumble a wall?

Think of something this season, or return to Tamo and rearm.

Noooo. Onii-chan belongs to us!

But seriously, that is concerning. The fort's current rebels may be pawns in someone else's game and we're stumbling in blind. If we take it, we might be getting involved with another family's feud we may not be ready for. Moreso we don't have siege equipment. We could make ladders ourselves out there, maybe even catapaults but that would be time consuming and could keep those armies stuck out there until winter or worse.

If we still have contact with our spies we should see if they can sabotage it from the inside or maybe coordinate a night attack. When the leklos assault the fort, the spies should open the doors and let our forces in.

Gretling Weapons? This just become a priority.

What if we sent our raiders there ahead of the army with a massive amount of supplies to create a breach? 1000 Kushel worth of bombs, digging implements, and experienced contracted sappers.

Deserter? Im only a deserter because I didn't make a deal first. The only reason I'm in jail for murder is because I didn't make a career out of it. The reason is I'm so damn bad at this shit. If I were vicious and cunning and embittered I'd have gone on the mission, got caught, and let you have dealt with the fallout. Everyone saw lady Apanya foist me onto you, they'll think it was your order. But I'm not and I didn't. I'm trying to be free of the past.

"Wasn't massacring my village punishment enough for that?"

>>957435
Only if the 'how did you know' is us asking how he knew we ditched our shift and ran away to see cheese however many nights ago. Which we will very much not mention at all.

>>957439
Let's see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.

Check the room for a map. We need to find out where we are and where we can go before we make any big plans.

Soul up.

Check with Mash first, hopefully it's something quick you can get out of the way.

Ideally you'd want to finangle someone else into ordering you to go find brass (or at least ordering you to the Athanem for whatever). That way any questions about why a Lanky is there just end up going right on up the chain - and in the wrong direction.

Report to Mash about the situation. You've left her hanging long enough, and the deadline for having something to report is in a week, not a day.

Get Junkyard to talk to Ikthiss. Stress to her that she shouldn't ask about only Brass, as that's advertising that she's suddenly interested in him.

I think it would be best to meet Brass today. The relationship should grow slowly and gradually. Exchange a few words today, a few more the next day, etc.; make him become interested in you, rather than vice versa.

Of course, I don't think Mash can wait, so one of us needs to go see her today as well. The question is, if we go see her first, would visiting Athenaeum still be possible today? If not, then I'd prioritize Athenaeum and send Junkyard to Mash.

But I'd also send Junkyard to see Ma'am and Ikthiss, since those should be hard to fuck up. Of course, giving her special instructions to not fuck it up.

>>957440
I think approaching him after bethel tomorrow would make for a much more natural first impression, though. We'd even have some good conversation-starters (i.e., questions about the sermon). Finding him at the athenaeum apropos of nothing, as someone who has no business being there, would come off suspicious as hell. We become more justified if it's to continue a conversation we started back at bethel, however. At bethel, we could also phrase a question to hear his casual whereabouts from his mouth, so we can pretend it was him who told us; that'll be another awkward question dodged.

Wait, what...?

Fortune what did you say to her? I’m lost here... keep going though we’re stalling at this point.

I find it odd... if Rubber the Boss cares deeply about Sweeper, why does he have so much trouble remembering her name? Not to mention he didn't remember the protocol on finding unregistered gods in humans... I wonder, does Rubber in some way suffer from memory losses? and if he does, does these memory losses come from physical or emotional trauma?

If so, I wonder... even though Rubber cares about Sweeper, Does Sweeper share the same amount of care about Rubber? or maybe perhaps she abuses him in some way? like maybe her abuse towards him could be physical abuse that causes memory loss like hits in the head, or maybe electrocution?

Maybe to get the topic going about Sweeper's relationship with Rubber the Boss, and any link of abuse she might have on him, perhaps ask "in order to solve your problem, let me ask first, you care deeply about Sweeper, but what do you think she thinks about of you? how does she treat you personally?"

We can't rely on magic for everything.

>>957161
Yeah this. We need to be able to defend ourselves with weapons when magic won’t. Our slime powers should be a last resort, a last surprise for threats we have yet to see.

Also Emils, try not to push those emotions away. Attempt to experience them and understand them. Others experience them to so understanding how it feels and why they feel it will help you develop empathy.

Yes, emotions certainly cause loss of control, for a variety of reasons, and despite that you should STILL not burn mana to avoid feeling the physiological effects of having them. Like anything managing them is a skill, one you are woefully inadequate at.

We should start a new project today. We've learned a lot of different things, song, how to craft semi-electronic matter that we can make limbs out of, just a general improvement in capacity to do everything.

Lets go out into the woods, and make some cool things. Maybe we can use the arm template to make a super powered magic exoskeleton. This might take some practice, but with their advanced ability to manipulate materials, Emils could probably make some quality salable goods to get some easy money. We can use that money to buy mana stones. Or hire people to help us cast bigass magic spells by drawing on their mana.

Or we can hang out with some of our other friends. How's Beatrice's new life as a normie?

Sadness doesn't feel very good. But there are also positive emotions. You will understand once you experience them.

Go for a walk. Alucard-style.

I dunno what the Skald is communicating to the bowperson, but let's assume the worse.

Surrender.

If the skald wanted to rob us, they had just as good opportunities before even without the numbers. They do seem to be signalling with whoever is up there though...

For now, just lower your gun, not drop it.

Driver, that bow shot is too far to be terribly accurate, and at this distance, easy enough to dodge now that you can see it coming. One of these fucks will definitely die if they make a move at this range though. So you've still got the upper hand, and you're just gonna take your stuff and back away now. Ain't nobody needs to die today. Right boys?

Skald, do you make out the profile of that spikey-haired figjam with the safety pins what calls himself Ramone over there, or what?

Alright here's the plan. You go take out the archer while the skald deals with these idiots in front of you. Feel free to shoot the one with a gun in case he's got any bullets in it.
Also don't forget there's one more bandit behind the rock that was signaling to the archer.

Alternatively you could ignore the archer since he's waaaaaay the fuck over there and accuracy with a bow is shit at that range, but I get the feeling this setting ignores weapon types and goes for cool factor over anything else.

Oh, taking a grenade out might scare them off, if we're going that route.
