Master really understands us if His reward for obedience takes away away any notion that we have control over our own body. I don't think anyone could ever match the pleasure we get frome being reduced to a toy for Him to play with. And this is only our second day in His clutches! We're dangerously close to being addicted to the leash... but do we really want to be free of Him? Could we want freedom anymore, by the time He's done training us?

Still, I'm kind of jealous of our partners. They're learning fancy new magic tricks with their own powers, while we only learn to properly submit to those stronger than us. Which is absolutely a blessing, I could never deny, but the power imbalance in our relationship is only growing wider than it already is. At least we managed to muster up just barely enough control to give our Master the pleasure of personally snuffing out the last tiny embers of our will. I hope He's even harder on us next time, or we might not get the chance to be punished!

Argus even enjoys our taste, too! It's sweet to know that all the cum we saved up is being appreciated by our loving Predator. We're too used up to do much of anything for Him right now, but... I think we could manage a kiss if He would like.

Argus turns around and surveys the mice as they lay exhausted and dripping. He laughs and claps his hands, which echoes oddly in the strange, curved room.

The mice groan and sit up, giving their master their full attention.

“Don’t tell me you’re tired already! We’re just barely getting started!”

>>1120029
Well, by the end of this you all are going to have endurance to spare... And a variety of new kinks, a possible master you revisit later, and a very fun new reputation in the fey community~!

Are you ready for a MONTAAAGEEEE?!

>>1120029
We've served Argus until we're barely conscious, and He still wants more!? How could our poor mortal bodies ever be enough for a Man as mighty as Him? How will we have the time or energy to do anything for Him but be used like toys!? We're here to serve! Our Master shouldn't have to do all the work! Is He going to use His healing touch to keep us active by force, or is He just setting us up for failure so He can punish us!? If He wants to torment us, He doesn't need to set up an excuse!

And this is still just mid-morning, too! We still have to clean the dishes before lunch! We need to be at keast a little conscious to make sure we don't break any!

Something just crossed my mind. What if the exhaustion is some kind of hidden purpose training, like we're intended to learn a trick to keep our stamina up? We are in the world of the fae right now, so is there something special we can do here to keep going? Like, for example, drawing on the ambient mana around us to replenish pur depleted energy? It's a strange idea, but the fae lands are a strange place.

The bottom box’s lid springs off when Uberto removes the sand box. Inside are two small stone figures, apparently standing on their own.

Picking them up and looking at them doesn’t do much. They seem altogether inert aside from their gentle self-righting.

SAM: “What’s up with these, do you think? Could they be… magnetic, or something?”

Uberto is really not sure.

The two put everything more or less back the way it was and leave.

Nothing happens as they approach and then pass the threshold of the larger chamber.

SIMONE: “Nothing?”

She’s not really asking, so much as expressing a mixture of relief and disappointment.

Sam closes her eyes and fills her lungs with the air of the Catacombs. Sealed below and around her are rooms in which yet unseen things move aimlessly. With her mind, she reaches into the far darkened reaches of the cosmos, where the unbegotten attempt to exert their influence, seeking non-denominational help. Something obliges.

For a split second, a mental map flashes in Sam’s brain. She sees it for less than a moment, but it is more than enough to commit it to memory. Notably, a number of markers appear on the map and a handful of pointers emanate from her location.

Energy efficient, accurate, and no recoil. However it needs to be recharged instead of reloaded so replacing ammo is tough, it gets hot easily and the lens can warp if you aren't careful, and it's not exactly stealthy.

The patch of woods that Slime returned to was much changed from when it had left. Crawling with activity, already several small makeshift shelters had been constructed. Collections of nuts, berries, and fungi had been piled up, with some bugs passing them out to the others.

As soon as Slime set one goopy foot in the clearing dozens of tiny heads turned their way. "The slime! It's back!" A wave of crickets, beetles, wasps, and various other chitinous creatures rushed over to Slime and friends. A big ol' stag beetle trundled through the crowd to serve as spokesbug. "Thanks for returning us to life and helping us talk to each other and everything, but well, what should we be doing now?"

Hell yeah pet those floofers

Oh goddamn it, of course they'd be smart too if we were able to make the ants smart.
First off, tell them to stay away from anything that humans have made. Humans have a lot of anti-bug measures in place like poisons or traps. Aside from that... oh, I guess they could team up with Fox and Squirrel to look around in areas you aren't scouting right now... but they're vulnerable to larger predators. We already know there are wolves about. We'd have to modify Fox and Squirrel so that they could defend themselves.

I think the forbidden fruit analogy is apt. The fox doesn't have enough knowledge to make an informed choice. The human brain evolved over the course of 3 million years, and has innumerable mental illnesses because the brain was more-or-less retrofitted to think. The fox's brain has developed over the greater part of a day.
The fox should at least have an existential crisis before choosing.

3- Abscond through the sewers. The terrain would benefit her more than it would Tony but that'd force her to leave Meep Meep behind.

4- Invent some fantastical 'anti-sharpness device'. It's useful, but it won't save her from the faceless mooks or Manny Menthol.

1- Run away. If she wants to run, the sewers are a much better option.

If we can figure out how to use that monster marble, maybe we can combine it with the broken AI core we got from W34V3R and create something that can guard the island while we're away. Or not.

Seems to me that 1) the main threat in the frozen city has been eliminated, and 2) since it was frozen, there might be perishable food there that's still good; so we might want to use some of our time to pick over it more thoroughly for usable resources.

Looking at these, I want to try combining Beast and Static, hopefully to create Mind (neurons use electricity).

I also want to experiment with this spell:

Core of Climate to influence the weather.
Cycle to alter Climate by shifting the seasons.
Life to associate the spell with life and plenty.

Normally, a spell to alter the weather would either be too large to feasibly cast or affect a small, temporary area, but if you cast with the help of the Nexus, perhaps you can personalize our island's climate to make it more temperate and suitable for living in.

Fair tactic, just keep an escape route open so she doesn't try to grab you.

Two possibilities for the knives:

"Khechil, down!" Lisel skids to a halt and aims at the opening. The beetle doesn't hesitate to hurl himself backwards, catching the rat off guard and bowling him over. You sidestep out of the way.

A sharp acrid smell fills the air as Lisel sends a jet of acid into the hole in the wall, swinging it back and forth once at head height. The spray arcs into the dark, and several stars wink out. The spiders that had just started charging forwards get caught in the entry, and with only a few eyes left between them, tangle and fall. Blade tipped limbs flail about, some coming dangerously close to the be-netted prisoners.

With the rat catcher already starting to rise you don't have time to help, so you toss your chain knife. It thunks into the wood next to the net. "OI, watch it!" a mousy complaint comes out of the net, along with a hand that grasps the knife.

Kh'khechil is on his back, having a little trouble flipping over. Lisel is quickly pumping the pressure back up in her acid tank. The glass shard is in tiny pieces on the ground. The rat catcher is on his knees, coughing up some floor dust.

>>1119937
>rat is on his knees
You know what, just decapitate him with your other blade. Then move to assist Kh'khechil.

Coughing implies breathing, wrap that chain around the ratcatchers neck and strangle him! If that fails stab the roof of his mouth with your knife!

And if you're close enough to multi-task, give Kh'khechil a helpful shove with your tail or foot.

Is it possible to just tie up that rat?

>>1119940
Agree on decapitating the rat if you have the time; when you get clear Lisel can crack his head open and examine the hardware inside. If you do not have time, sever his spinal cord.

Once the rat is down, move to help whoever needs it most; probably Kh'khechil first, then Lisel.

Taking pictures of that mess is probably a good idea. After that, find something to arm yourself with and show Sheriff Bugg what you might be dealing with.

ALIENS

they're not human remains, are they?

Take a photo of the mess so the sherif will believe. Arm yourself but maybe keep it under your hat — do you like in a place where owning weapons are common?

Okay yeah now you GOTTA call the cops (Also take a picture for proof) Do not leave the scene, do not touch anything disturbing a crime scene is no bueno.

I know where an Ace Pilot needs to be "Fuze what's the safest and quickest way to the bridge?"

Fuze thinks for a moment "the parade walkway would be quickest from here but it would be wide open."

"Pary-Zegh could be lying in wait, I might need support is there anyone you can trust?"

a armored Cazaran steps forward "I can help with that, if any robots attack I should be able to take them out."

Fuze nods "Sout protected me and the other crew from Aim-Lock's rampage."

I know him, Parsca Sout, a marine sergeant.
I don't know if I can trust him any more than I could trust Pary-Zegh.
but it might also be dangerous to go alone

If everyone around you is already co-opted, then the battle is already lost. We are relying on Fuze's reports about the status of the ship and the state of the conflict. For now we have to also rely on his character assessment. At least this one is showing you a face. If he turns on you, you can just kill him too, can't be tougher than Aimlock was.

Eh, it's probably fine. Maybe you should ask what a Boiler is before you leave though?

Yes.
What is a boiler?

As to trust issues...
Apply cold logic.
If you were their immediate target, then you would already be under attack.
In that sense you can trust them.
Piloting the ship needs to happen for them as much as you so you can trust they will cooperate in that goal.
Remain alert for developments, but until the short term goal is met, you can be sure of no direct action from them.

>>1119776
no cold logic, hot logic. Simmering anger and restlessness are the only thing keeping us going right now. Keep that boiler stoked or we will pass out again.

Did you exchange numbers with Jaden? He might be a useful guy to keep close. But not too close.

he's spiralling. show him your boobs to snap him out of it

bring up the loli porn again it seems like you have some common ground there

What? They... first, they don't shoot you in the back when they COULD HAVE, then they ask for common ground, then you give them common ground... and they actually didn't want common ground, but wanted you to refuse so they could shoot you? Is this some bizarre code of ethics, or trying to... make it look like self defense? To what authority???

Ask the biological weapon if their wielder was born stupid or took too many blows to the distributed process matrix over the years, then attempt to negotiate directly with Sine. The one holding them seems like a rogue element with no authority to actually force them to fire.

Also, maybe just let Li.Ni.Si get laid, maybe it'll help give her reprieve from her own issues. Meanwhile, his Bad Luck Field seems beneficial to you. After all, B! Could have sent an elite killer after you but instead sent these two, presumably out of pity for the big one.

Alright, I have been informed Holdfast is the small creature on Sine's head. Fair enough.

Ask Sine to please not shoot you just because their pet idiot is kill-crazy.

Ask Sine why he's letting this little bundle of aggression giving him orders.
Go on a tangent about how he's clearly the sharpest of the two.

They live in an authoritarian populist regime; motivations towards loyalty are far more important to their survival than keeping the tentacles on the trigger. Now that they have 'due cause', they control the narrative of this encounter.

If we knew a way to turn that narrative around...

Shut up and fight. Don’t talk.
*gets up and takes another incendiary grenade and throws it at the weakening spots on Happiest left side.*

Oh ok we'll just give up then
*Ignore the hand, shoot him in the head more*

Take out the holy symbol he dropped. Remind him of what the angel said: he must redeem himself through hardship. Having his pack kill you won't be hard at all. Thus, *he* must fight you.

Then kick him in the balls.

Everyone who voted already, I recommend you reconsider and vote for Foolish Gambit. It’s clearly stated to be more effective when impressive to onlookers.

So we can still do some ball kicking, but my point is that right now is quite simply the perfect time to use FG.

I propose:

FOOLISH GAMBIT GOAL: Leave Julien speechless in front of the crowd.
Environmental Factors: The crowd will be enthralled if successful.

>>1119895
I think that would mesh with what I suggested, maybe with more talking to the crowd.

>>1119895
I don't think proudly and uncharacteristically-of-Akito screaming "I'm gonna leave you speechless" will be of any benefit to her persuasion check.

the next update is planned to have a huge deciding impact on the story, so all votes are going to matter here. i'm imposing a deadline to give everyone a chance to add in.

all suggestions will still be accepted until tuesday, 1/13, 11:59PM PST.

>>1119866
Quip and insult the man.

I think that's what he's aiming for as a reaction? No need to spoil the mood yet.

Yamelle: I think my position was on my side… what would that mean?

Its true, you have a lot to brag about. needle him back

>>1119866
He did just imply your infidelity... and that demands response. unless im missing a cultural norm here and the folk of du-gar are more liberated in mating practices.
Hm.
Either we imply his single son was due to him planting seed from an empty pouch.
Or
That one of your hypothetical bastards could be his son as the lad is far too handsome to have been emitted from an arse faced old sot like him.
Or both.

Dish it back out on him.
