Looks like that burn on Dracula was a bit too sick. Grab the fireproof cover (because it's likely a deep-fryer fire) and check this fire out!

oh no, because you were a liar now your pants are on fire!

>>1072858

>>1072820
you probably should put out that fire if you dont want to be held responsible for it and roasted over the flame like a pig, or sold to the cattle farm to cover the costs

But will there be Sexy Ghost/Alien Boys (or Monsters)? Hell yes if so.

Could ask when she intends to check out said Lab, maybe commit some Criiiiiimes too...

Or maybe where she's from?

Tell her she's cute and ask her what she is doing tonight.

Lab as old as the town... the 40ies, right? World War 2 era. Your bomb theory wasn't so silly after all!

>Question
Hey, as a ghost hunter, does she have any spare batteries for her flashlights 'n such? You're out some for your Gameboy. All this juicy goss you've been dropping has got to be worth something to her, right?

(Let's get ONE of our goals cleared for the day!)

Also, you have band practice, but you could meet up with her somewhere later and show her the facility (/potentially use her 'grown-ass adult/researcher' state as an excuse for breaking and entering) and help her look for that ghost in the woods.

I wonder what this lady would make of the gross tentacle bird thing you heard about at that rock festival... probably she's heard it already.

Let's not get sidetracked with necromancer talk before this is handled.

Alright. Ace needs to be reminded that if it's a problem, she should hire people to solve it. If the bounty is low, a necromancer could definitely inspire a pot with donations from various folks in town. Plus whatever goodies are down there.

Make sure Magda is on board and then start thinking about who else you could get. And you mentioned someone who could figure out the layout. Any ideas? I guess we could just ask all the smart people we know.

Oh, one thing that should set your mind at ease. If it was a smart necromancer, then after you took out their guard they'd leave on their own as fast as they could.
That means you won't have to fight a smart necromancer! If there's anyone still there when you show up, it's going to be a dumb necromancer.

See if you can increase Ace's proffered reward to include a double feature and some cuddles. Perhaps throw on Emperor of the North for some hobo fisticuff action-adventure?

>>1072653

Packing up and finding a new place means cutting all of your ties, and granted how you function in a stable way relies on keeping those, I think you might want to view this as a practical matter, not a matter of altruism.

If necromancers are really bad news, that can inspire a really good pot for taking one down, granted you let the town know before you go knocking down their door. That nets you a stronger foothold and some much needed clout in this neck of the woods. It might even net you some backup.

As for ways to scout the building, there was a lot of tech back in the day that could work for this sort of thing. A flying drone is probably too noisy, but a repurposed Roomba with a spy camera or an RC car with the same could go ahead reasonably quietly with no chance of mind fuckery. Strap a smoke grenade or flashbang to that, detonate and move in quickly.

I still am thinking having a brain plug as a backup isn't bad, but getting someone with the skill to reliably test your brain's resistance doesn't seem likely to happen.

>>1072856

Actually, thought. Are there undead animals about? You know, like rats? Maybe we could try a little brain surgery on one of those little guys to check peer-to-peer. If we can route our awareness through a common vermin, we can be even more stealthy in infiltrating the compound to feed you details on what to look out for.

I'm glad the gym leader who hosts her battles on giant elevated platforms is so safety-conscious.
B, we weren't an accessory to kidnapping an elite four member after all.

B.

>>1072806
C. We've barely interacted with the E4 to get a bad rep with them, and Lanette is a dweeb. Eyes on the prize, helping our little bro Stetson.

B. You know about the secret glitch, so eventually for the good of pokemon-human peace you're going to want to bring it up with her to find out if you can help with a solution. Like, maybe you can broker an official peace agreement with some legendaries in exchange for the PC system refusing to store them and some general agreement of trainers not capturing them against their will?

>>1072836
We've been told already we can't change our minds and try to solve the PC issue, so there's not much point in going to talk to Lanette.

Calmly tell him to remove his hand and then proceed to talk about his deal. Let's try to be diplomatic about this scenario.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Accept the deal.

B) Negotiate more about the deal.

C) Refuse the deal.

D) Other suggestions.

Fuck it, let's just take the deal. I mean five goblins and they will leave for now. It sounds like a sale, and it isn't like we genuinely commit to being on their side. We were caught off guard by tier arrival and this will just be our way of buying more time.

We probably have elderly gobbos who might give their lives to spare the rest of us. Still, we have no assurance he'll keep his word. Post recovery they may just return to assault us. Plus it may give us a bad rep that would draw further ire from Humans. "For such a request we require collateral as well as recompense. We need more than your word and corpses do no jobs of value. Or perhaps we could act as a middleman buying your supplies." Oh by the way if the castle cannot be bought then perhaps it could be rented? We provide free upkeep and leader guy still has ownership.

B. How about this, if loyalty is something this guy lacks with his soldiers, then lets give him a test. Maybe if he's able to discipline his soldiers for insubordination, then you'll be able to trust him with some goblins. For example, he has yet to dish out a suitable punishment towards his archer for not following orders and shooting you. You need to at least make sure he is able to be strong enough to keep his soldiers under control for their safety and your goblins before you can form a partnership. Depending on the punishment he'll give his archer will be the deciding factor. You need to make sure that you'll be partnering up with someone who's soldiers will stay in line, and not do anything like see how much they can get away with, to the point of backstabbing your goblins, yourself, or even himself.

He saw how we punished our spider. He should know around the level of punishment we are seeking

Contracts first, then buy a loadout based on the job.

You scroll over to the contract screen, from there you can pick out jobs to work.

We're not the only mercenary on the planet but we do have a decent first call on a lot of these gigs, if you don't grab one it may not be available as there are other mercenary forces. Some of them not so willing to work with us. The jobs being handed to us are worth at least 10 Tokens each, not big scratch but enough, we got 15 from the last job.

Cleanup - Old Tunnels
The start of where this whole rebellion began. There are some automated defenses in the tunnels still operational, the Contact wants them gone.

Assassination - Eliminate
Typical smash and grab, find the Walker Squad and handle them. Supposedly they've got a expansion unit for one of the Boxes.

Escort - Recon Survey
Seems one of the ITA contacts has a rig set up, it's trawling through some of the old deserts scanning for Ruins. Your job is to keep it in tact.

Recon - Temple Ruins
Reports of an enemy mech in the area, keep an eye out and try to survey these old Ruins for a Research Group with the ITA. Straightforward enough.

What job are you thinking of taking?

I like the escort but fear we may be a bit underleveled for that. Let's try the recon.

We are go for recon.

Our thoughts exactly.

>>1072795
Actually this does bring up a point, how are we doing in relations with Ridder's group? Should we coordinate something with them?

Nah, leave those two patrolling the tower. We need to keep our communication network up while our opponent has an OP assassin captain ready to strike.

Volunteers only, should increase morale.

We should recall them, but in a silly and convoluted way.

Bring em home, give them a shard, send em BACK, implant Commander Salamander, then come home again and stay home. This sends a shard south with far greater security, and by the time they finish all that travel hopefully we'll be done with Horse Quest. If they happen to see an army marching during any of that, they book it.

I think bringing our key allies into the network is safe, but we absolutely need to either send the shards like they're gold. Who knows what magical bullshit could pollute our connection if it was intercepted, or, god forbid, tapped.

That all sounds great. I know we like to be in constant busy mode, but we can take a night off to enjoy our new base and be off by tomorrow.

What do I say after last night? I could lie here and try and come up with the words for hours, but JNET’s warning serves as a much simpler, more immediate response.
“W-we’d better get out there!”
“Uh, right!” Jaina is similarly eager to leave how we ended up like this unspoken.
We roll off the sleeping mat in opposite directions, grab whatever’s to hand, and poke our heads outside. The others are already up and taking up positions around our camp.
“JNET, what’s happening?”
“That’s right, run! Oh, Sam, Jaina, you just missed them. One of the xanthi crawled up while Anet and Pent were starting to nod off. My alert scared them off, but they managed to make it to the tent before retreating.”
BE looks around the back of the shelter and hisses. <Waz warning uzz.>
We follow her around to the side of the tent and notice a sticker hastily slapped there. The writing says ‘Nice job!’, but it seems to have been repurposed for a less encouraging message. Xs are drawn over the eyes, and green squiggles cover the cheeks and bottom of the head. That’s supposed to be blood, I think.
“Their intention is clear - don’t mess with them, or else. They must have figured out we’re planning something.“
“We’d better do it fast before they do something worse than leave a message.”
“This is a good sign, really. It tells us they are scared we will succeed.”

We split up to accomplish our final tasks before the invasion. Bright Eyes and the sisters retrieve our chemical weapons from the cupboard while Pent and I try to avoid any unwelcome goo balls as we collect foam for our insulated armor. We tear up a couple chunks for each of us and toss them to the ground to collect. Under the shelter of the table, we hollow out some pieces to fit limbs, and cut the rest into sheets for the chest and helmets. Pent takes out some thread to sew the foam together into loose suits of armor.
We meet up with the others with our collected chemicals back under the teacher’s desk. As a last step, we use the collected capfuls of water to mold paper into masks and fit them to our faces. Once they’ve dried a little, we pour in the perfume. It’s overwhelmingly sweet, like… pure, concentrated flower garden smell. I certainly hope this is distracting enough from the gas.
<Not wearing thiz,> Bright Eyes complains. <Iz itchy.>
<Well it’s just too bad you don’t have something to wear under it, but you’re going to hate getting zapped a lot more than a little itch. You know what that’s like, right?> Pent gestures to her wired up weapon.
<Hmph. Fine…>
Finally, we’re armored up and ready to go. Our weapons are traded out for long padded swabs, aside from Pent’s insulated zap spear. The swabs aren’t as effective, but they’re at least safe to swing around. Beyond the padded stick I have my ancient pistol and a capful of lubricant. It’ll take longer to use than if we had managed to score any goo bombs, but it gets the job done.
Carefully, we combine the ingredients needed for the final stage of the stink bomb. The fuel already smells from fermenting all night, and the catalyst will surely accelerate that. The rubber glove finger is quickly secured over the cap, and it begins to inflate with a thick, rancid gas. Jaina tosses the grapple up to JNET

Casey tucks her arms under her chin and sighs, “Del knows what she’s doing…”

“Well, yeah… but that’s not what I’m talking about.” His head flops over to look at her. “I’ve never seen him like that. And afterwards, he looked like he was in shock.”

Casey nods and says quietly, “Its hard to say. I think Gabe’s tougher than any of us give him credit for, but still…”

“Yeah…” Kol agrees, “All he ever seems to want out of life is to take it easy and make people happy. In the moment, I don’t know what scared him more: the thought of us in danger or sending Muir.”

“I trust Del. She’s a lot like Gabe: they both just want to help people. She gets him.” She smiles and flops back onto the mattress, "We just have to be there for him when he comes home."

Kol looks back at the ceiling and nods, “Yeah…” the Medium pauses and asks, “Hey, are we okay?”

Pushing it out of your mind hasn't addressed it. You three have gotten lucky with your guide duties. This really was a taste of the nitty gritty side of it. It's not pretty, and it never has been. The three of you to come to accept that.

You've been ignoring some important existential questions. They're gnawing at you. If only you knew what to ask.
Not much else.

You're as ok as anyone can be after that. Which is to say no, of course you're not ok. Can't imagine4 any empathetic emotionally healthy person would be totally ok with that. But you two definitely seem to be doing better than Gabe is. Kol's training probably has a lot to do with it, he's always been more grounded, down to earth and savvy with the anguish of death. Casey too. The whole flow of energy, the way that things act and react, it makes sense she'd be a little more stable4 too. But Gabe's always dealing with math, precision, and theoretical stuff like that, he's got more of his head in the clouds.

You're going to be alright though, even if you're doing bad right now. You know you did everything you could, even if it didn't work out.

The cafe still has plastic skeletons and mini pumpkins everywhere, which is in excellent taste.

You’ve never had pets, so you’re surprised to find your nose running and eyes itching the longer you stay in the room where every surface is saturated with cat hair. Violet isn’t affected, and she watches with concern as you blow your nose into a handful of napkins. You insist that it’s not bad and you want to stay.

What do you talk to Violet about?

I'm kind of curious abut the necromancers since that sounds like it's close by. Would like to know if their is a crazy cult wondering around town adducting people as that sounds like something to watch out for.

You close your eyes, turn your head away and take a deep breath. You just need a moment… but when you open your eyes again you’re still reading the book. Averting your gaze, you try and find anything else to focus on in the room, but no matter where you look, you’re still reading the book, still seeing the words on those brittle, yellow pages.

Emmylou: Why don’t you write the rest, then? Perhaps make it into a television show. One hour pilot. You can get your friends to vouch, right?

Marlene: Right but... I don’t know if I’m ready to stick around Silenus again.

I take a deep sigh.

Marlene: I was offered a job to return to the studio the other day, let’s just say that conversation ended a bit awkwardly. That’s why I feel like I’m in such a pickle right now. I want to work there yet... I don’t.

Emmylou: Oooh.

Marlene: If I can get in touch with the author, maybe there’ll be a more complete story without the need of much editing!

It looks like the author’s name is all I’ve got. I suppose this draft was submitted on accident and the real one has all the necessary information. Would I really consider going back to work for Silenus just for this?

It's uh... it's natural to have feelings for Nico; he's confident and helpful, a wonderful man and dead sexy. You can't help feelings that women just have sometimes, but it's not safe to work for Silenus, until you talk with Seb about the feelings you're having for Nico. Not... love, but allure and fascination. An understanding that you two click, that you never... consciously agreed to.

See if you can find out who Osman Neiro is just by the name. It's probably a pseudonym, but he might have published other stuff under it.

Seems pretty clear going back to Silenus is a bad idea. Let's try and get ahold of the script's author first.

Iolantha grabs a bag and quickly fills it with herbs, bread, firewood, and knives.

a splash is heard again, Iolantha turns, there's a Siren in the basin

Eranil recognises her as the exotic singer, and one of the guests for Lord Xielphiane's party. Eranil finds it remarkable that she still lives, without legs it must have been a struggle reaching the kitchen pools,

the siren speaks broken elven 'Please help! Please help!', Iolantha understands why the creature needs help, she is much too large to fit through the drains out to the river. there's no escape that way.

Keep your voice down! We could use all the hands we can get, even if they don't have legs.

I agree with Buckwheat, Groundfull could totally pull off a skirt. Gave him some tights too, although with the talons they may look nicer if they stop at the ankles. Maybe they could wrap around the base of the talons without going to the claw bits. Final note: I didn't draw a sunhat, but I'd be down with copping that from Buckwheat as well.

As for Cooper, I tried out a few different hairstyles. I'm sorry to say it, but I was happiest with the mullet. As for the attire, I considered a more traditional look. Trench coat, fedora, maybe a long scarf, etc. I wasn't sure if we were looking for casual, business casual, or whatever. In the end, I decided to just draw him in something that I thought would look nice next to Groundfull, and which made me happy. Thus, open hawaiian shirt over a crop top, and jean shorts.

they should wear something silly like Mario and Luigi costumes

You are now Zenith Groundfull.

You take a deep breath. Now that you’ve properly woken up, the world is a little bit clearer. Cooper leaves the bathroom to get dressed, and you head to your closet, now filled with inspiration for an outfit. You put a different corset on and decide on a pair of black leggings, a smooth red skirt, and a simple white button-up. As you’re putting on your gloves, Pawsteps patter from behind you, signaling the arrival of your partner.

“Wow, sure you want to look this good for a simple little investigation?” You turn to see their outfit, a cropped racerback tank top under an unbuttoned floral shirt with a pair of black jean shorts, and to bring it all together, a fake gold bangle. Their hair is pushed back into a curly mullet and held in place with a healthy amount of gel.

“Ooh, looking great sweetheart! Love the hair!” You chirp. While their flat bangs were fun to play with, the fluffy curls had to show themselves eventually.

They place your sunhat firmly on your head, then look in the wall mirror to fully admire you. You take their hand and strike a pose. You two look great. “Thank you sweetbeak. You look amazing too, but as much as I’d like to fawn over your skirt, we’ve got work to do.”

“Of course. A little behind schedule, but we should be fine.” You head into your office once again, now completely ready to take the day by storm.

>Alright, so, take a closer look at the folder. Who's involved, who are their closest family members, who lives next door? And call the client to tell him you're taking the case.

You grab the folder and scan its contents. Inside, there’s a letter from the commissioner, Harvey Aguire, in the form of a questionnaire. Additionally, there’s a photo. A burly, male polar bear next to a much shorter female badger. The badger is ecstatic, and despite the

Investigate the body, leave the drone to observe it further.

From what we've seen and heard... I know what happened here. The fleeing kaiju just deposited that mutant corpse, and the green gas is feeding the chime beast.

Investigate the body. Find out where it came from and how it's being turned into green gas, and you may be able to sabotage the chime beast.

Send drones out while you're doing so. See if you can get one to take pictures of the cave, especially.

Investigate Body. At the very least snap a picture as you glide past

> and it's packing a massive pair of... something, bosoms, balls, maybe both?

Why not both?

Investigate the body.

(edited)

Yeah, lets investigate the body. But no sabotaging anything as this is a stealth mission, and we don't want to get spotted, especially not from whatever monster is in the smoke, and not this early. (but this info could be valuable if we want to sabotage it in a future mission)

And I agree on sending out a drone to investigate the cave. And if there is a monster inside and if it spots that drone, we can probably have the drone get chased by the kaiju to get it out of the cave so we can investigate the cave ourself with the kaiju gone.

I say use a wheeled drone on that cave, while it makes noises it's probably dark enough in there along with some cover to not get easily spotted. Plus if there is a kaiju in there, it will be the fastest to not get caught as it tries to distract the kaiju out of the cave.

Though you find it difficult to wholly gauge just how deep you've gone, the stone steps end at a broad ledge as the winding passage gives way to an immense cavernous space beyond. C.C. stands at the precipice of what you now find to be a purposefully flattened rise -- and as the three of you join her and the crystal is held aloft, your eyes adjust to take in the breadth before you, the flickering glow of other lights glimpsed off in the distance.

A broad stone path has been carved into the rock-face around one side of a yawning chasm, pillars stretching up from an abyssal drop below to hold stone platforms and pathways aloft along its center. Along the northern wall, stone steps lead down from where you stand, offering egress to a corridor set into the rock-face. Far across the chamber you spy another passage above two flights of stone stairs.

From far above, a half dozen gibbet cages hang from thick lengths of chain -- and though your light does not reach, you glean the impression that there is an opening in the ceiling of the cavern, possibly leading to the fortress far above. Figures presently occupy the cages, but it is too dark and distant to discern much about them; one of the cages hangs near to the end of a platform at the center of the chamber, however -- likely within reach.

Further off and set lower into the rock-face you can spy what appear to be several cells open to the abyss, faint light visible from their recesses. A faint rush of chilly air carries through the chamber, resonating down into the plunging darkness below. "Oi." Geoffrey mutters, nodding across the span. "Someone's lit those torches, yeah? Recent-like. May have company down there..."

You decide to...

B. Curiosity hasn't killed us yet.

B, but let C.C. go first.

>>1072491
Risky, but it might pay off.

I also agree with B. But you may want to put out your own light and use the aura of the already-lit torches to circumnavigate. Any keeper of this place with an eye out may spot your lit crystal bobbing around.

Don't forget we have the SHROUD ritual, in case we may need to risk detection.
