Faster than you can say, "cursed photon canards" your body leaps towards void! Not wanting to take your chances with the mystery beam, your spear, now stuck to the staircase acts as the one thing from you dropping into the abyss.

So I'm guessing there's no gravity in here. Better take careful steps. You could potentially jump over to another staircase, too, but you'd only want to do that if it seemed like you'd make more progress.

Brace your legs against something (?) then kickjump yourself into a better spot.

Yes but what should we type?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh something about Penumbra? Foreshadowing?

we know ultimately we have to walk over that glowing pad then perch there until removed

Type "Ghost Friend"
Anything more complex will surely end in failure.

Clearly, communicating with humans is a lost cause, and we should type something to amuse other felines.

Relax, enjoy it, make conversation as if everything is normal. Until you get close. Then maybe you should give her a warning. Though I expect that is not going to happen anytime soon, if your prowess is anything to brag about.
I wonder if she'll move within reach so you can return the favor?

>>971692
Relax and cum, take what you can get.

This, just let loose and let it happen

Looks like everything going on is the opposite of a problem

>>971668
Agreed, get the wire and 20 glass bottles. We could look for cheaper booze, maybe a mount for the races, from other vendors. If nothing else comes up trade this guy for the goon.

If we get goon from him that leaves us about 20 gallons to work with finding a mount. Maybe more if we find cheeper goon.

Maybe we could race for this guy, and split the take in exchange for a better deal. Lots of money to be made...

>>971675
You need to remember that Kitten gave us a choice to take us to the Hauler instead. So while she may have a debt with this merchant, I don't think she's getting any favors for taking us here. However, I do think you're right in terms that this deal being somewhat unfavorable to us. As was written, this merchant seems to be well-off, and this would only be the case if the merchant often made good deals. Good deals for him, not for his customers.

Anyway, I'd first ask this merchant what sort of debt this cat holds with him. And then tell him that the deal doesn't sound great. The wine specifically, unless it was a really high quality wine, I don't think it would trade at 1:1 to the fish oil.

But, eh, I don't wanna get too greedy here. Tell the merchant that your offer is all your fish oil for the welding wire, 20 gallons of wine, 80 glass bottles, the muffler, a choice part, and forgiving the Kitten's debt.

I spy an adjustable wrench as well, how much does it cost?

I'd say that we should probably sell as much as we can today so long as we can get a decent price.

>>971721
That she would take us to the hauler doesn't mean much. She may have stuck around and offered to bring us here for another fish for all we know. Maybe she works with or owes a lot of people. Who knows? We sure don't. We barely just met her.

I mean, I already posted a plan earlier...
Itemize what tasks need to be done. Write it down in a list. Then it's easier to assign groups to them.

You nod, rubbing your temples. "Yeah... If you have any input, it'd be welcome."

>"I just want another shot at that fucking mansion, honestly. Maybe try to send the others on other jobs and leave that for us, that's all I have."

"Alright, this is what I'm thinking," you start. You use the rest of your food to form a diagram. "We send KYLE after the people on BILL's list when we get it, and have him interview them. Get the cars moving along Joe Durst's most likely route, ask around, see if anyone saw him. They can follow those marks across the bridge too, if it hasn't been done yet. Who's got the evidence we collected at the scene? Someone should check it out again, I want a better idea of the size of the hands that made the marks on the bridge, and if they line up with the damage on the mayor."

A short drive brings you back to the First Precinct. The lobby looks as slow as usual when the two of you walk in.

>The receptionist waves as you approach. "Captain, the emergency homicide team's on call and ready to be briefed whenever you want. If you head to The Major's office, she can assemble them."

You walk over to the floor map. Your watch reads 9:15... You consider if there's anything else you want to do before getting your guys together. You're only a minute away from the evidence room, the shooting range, your office, and of course The Major's office.

>>971683
Time to take a closer look at that evidence.

Yeah, if we can squeeze in our own lookie-loo at the evidence before assembling everyone and ending the day, that’s just being efficient. Do make sure to warn everyone ahead of time that there’s going to be a meeting soon.

D) Have N'thar collab a plan with Eeyfel, though with him mostly planning it out with her making slight edits. Make final touches after.

Also see if we can send a search party/rescue team for the Hydra. Not that we care or anything, just the resources and time put into them would be a serious waste if they truly were killed by a few explosives placed by treacherous, arrogant 'heroes'.

>>971001

B. If we're going to have an advisor, it seems a waste to not at least hear them out.

As for Eeyfel, there are many failings we could punish her for besides interrupting us. However, since she did the right thing by bringing us the information as promptly as she could, perhaps a lighter sentence is in order. Still punish her, as we don't want her to get too comfortable, but nothing overly harsh for this loyal minion.

>>971527

Before stepping through the door, you decide to see if this hallway has some weird gravity properties, just to be safe.
You throw your wallet down the hallway. The wallet lands halfway down the hall. If there was any gravity shenanigans going on, you didn't notice.
You deem the room safe enough to go into. However, as you walk through the door, you notice a slight gap between the room you are in, and the hallway you are entering. These two rooms are not physically connected to each-other.

Once again I'll ask, when did this change? We made that arm like, 4 or 5 scenes ago. The only change in abilities we have had was stealing ice magic from the detective.

>>971516
>>/questarch/875985
Solid Material Manipulation was lost back in Chapter 4 when it got combined with Mana Perception into Mana Manipulation and Solid Material Perception by Lust.

>arm prosthetic
If I remember correctly, Emils used her slime mass to eat bits of the arm that were unusable, then modify her mass into properly arranged components for the remnants of the original arm. She could do this as her slime mass is material she can freely change and manipulate AND she knows how the biology of an arm works, cuz' of her own ability to mimic living things realistically.

Through her Mana Manipulation humming, Emils has probably learned to bypass using the native interface to cast magic, which is how she regained the use of [Spire] here. With practice she can probably learn all kinds of custom magics, including outright brick-making.

That said, let's go into the mine. We may not be able to see through walls, but we have Solid Material Perception which would allow us to explore the tunnels and identify veins and good areas to mine - and we're more interested in the phenomenon of mana crystals than earning credits, no?

Plus, using magic to solve large-scale problems is a leading cause of the kind of mana overuse that's plaguing this world. I'd say that needs to be fixed before Emils starts figuring out (and spreading) spells for industrial applications. Though earning a solid income isn't necessarily to be scoffed at either.

Wildly using mana will probably drain us faster. Lets try handling our innate need for mana crystals. Get sustainability first.

>>971517
>Arm
That's how Slime deals with biological components it's absorbed. The prosthetic was made of a special mana reactive super metal. If we had told her to, Emils could have used it to make a perfect replica of the real thing (And it probably would have been better, no less).

Also Emils is a long way from "Spreading" her magic, lol. She would need to alter someones core to allow them to finely sense mana, first of all.

That said, there ARE shenanigans Emils can get up to in the mine that would make her super effective. Not only can she find ore and mine it easy, but she can collect it inside of her body, thus preventing nearby and passing rival miners from realizing shes striking. Also, if any caves or voids are found she can make a crack, slime on through, and mine in peace, or better yet, stack muscles and see if she can hulk mode mine.

Mining actually sound pretty dope. Though, we will need to tell him that we are deceptively no obscenely strong, and that we will require a tool that can handle it.

>>971521
>Though, we will need to tell him that we are deceptively no obscenely strong, and that we will require a tool that can handle it.
They would require us to prove these claims and the looks on their faces will be hilarious!

>>971299
Oh. Oooh. She's been spotted. By that thing from earlier. Uh. Check to see if it's still there? Or maybe not. Maybe run. Or... agh!

This is the worst. You were here to befriend Brass, earn his trust (somehow), not cause a huge ruckus that's gonna leave him in a hell of a mood! Pray Mash is too smart to lay hand on Brass in her attempt to escape as obviously as possible.

You need to get out of here yourself. Or at least secure your 'gains' before you do anything.

>>971264
Finding somewhere close to stash the handle, the paper and the medicine seems about the best you can do (maybe even here in the library?). And then... pretend you arrived on the scene after hearing the ruckus, having waited in the wings?

Though, if you clean up the majority of the mess NOW and prevent Luzi (Mr. Fancy) from seeing the intact bottle and realizing what -actually- happened, Brass might realize you did damage control for him (deliberately or accidentally) and in his rush to cover up the truth might grant favor or clemency.

As for Mash... Mash can't talk her way out of a wet paper bag, right? She's gonna need help if she gets stopped or caught, right? Even if she got away you can talk and beg clemency, say she/you was just curious about the library, offer to do anything to make up for it, dispose of the (bundled-up in your shirt) mess, etc.

>>971289

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

Why does it feel like Mash did this intentionally? Why would she wish to sabotage your mission? Does it have something to do with her dream earlier? Or was she somehow talked into this by someone else?

>>971305
Mash's expressions suggest dropping the first bottle was an actual accident, but after that she decided to smash the rest so Brass wouldn't notice the absence of the one she gave us.

>>971307
The way she's looking away makes it seem precisely like she did it on purpose.
You look away, you drop the item, and then you say "Oops!". The cliché!

>>971308
Someone pointed out that she looks up and her expression might be one of surprise, not eye-rolling. We've already seen something/someone that can poke through walls.

Shock at seeing that thing/person has already lead to one mishap (the door handle), so it's not unthinkable that Mash jerked in surprise and dropped the glass, then just reacted quickly from there.

I agree with this! Stuffed crust is the best!

Is there any part of us that isn't weirded out by this? Cause if so, that part might have been the unconscious basis for this.

Also, do you recognize anything about the little lady with the nice butt? Species, individual, mannerisms? Is there any reason to suspect that shes a real person (or that shes not a real person)?

Cause, somebody real to talk to would be nice. On the other hand, if shes not real, we don't have to feel bad about admiring that booty.

Also, think hard about stuff-crust pizza.

otherwise if they are too far gone past that point. ask Pary-Zegh if they got any last words/regrets even requests for you, even if it just advice for you or any crewmember that is still living to up their own chance of survival long enough to either stop this assassin or to escape the ship alive.

>a block that makes my memories of the old body look like this one
Tell us more about these memory blocks. Could one be used, for instance, to simulate full amnesia?

So what are the flaws Millie has that this apparition says Millie needs to iron out? Granted everyone has flaws, but Millie's cant be too large of a flaw, right?

The truth is irrelevant at this point, with no way to corroborate what is being said anything could be anything.

Just take it as possible information to be inspected later. Panicking over what might or might not be real doesn't serve a purpose here.

Blue teddies in the trash kind of makes me think that Millie had to discard her childhood early in life, so maybe she never had a childhood in some way to begin with.

Well, If Red Millie wants to fill in the missing pieces of her memories, I suggest that Blue Millie hand over Ethan's book to Red Millie and let her write what she thinks happened. Got a pencil?

I imagine the worst possible thing happened to Millie. I think after Millie was drugged and woke up again, Millie was like a brain-dead zombie, the perfect condition Pink wanted her to be in so that Pink can brainwash Millie into becoming Pink's successor despite Millie rejecting Pink's offer to follow Pink in their shadow.

While Millie was in a zombified state, Pink probably filled Millie's head with their sick and twisted ideologies and even trained her to become stronger like Pink is. Also, Millie was probably raped by Pink most likely.

I imagine that Millie in her zombified state unfortunately may have hurt or even killed the other prisoners along the line but with Pink's favoritism over Millie, gave her all sorts of advantages to protect her from the prisoners in case they revolted.

I wonder if Pink also had control over those robots like they thought they did. What if the robots killed Pink?

Jeez, I hope Millie wakes up from this, but if not, well, at least she can enjoy this eternal vacation in her mind. Where's the beach?

But hey, here's an important question: how is blue Millie so sure Pink is a woman or not?

I think after pink stomped on millie's face, it broke her face and pink had to have their robots give her a facial reconstructive surgery. Except now Millie doesnt have the same face she had before.
