Male, 40s, northerner. Whitewall, maybe? Brown hair, pale blue streaks on the sides of his beard. Squints like he's nearsighted, marks on his nose from glasses he's not currently wearing. Scholarly, but, based on his callused hands, and overall muscle tone, also has some reasonably recent experience wrangling heavy machinery. Hasn't gotten much sleep in the past week but was eating well before that.

He's scooting the chair backward and trying to steer toward a pile of stuff on top of a cabinet in the corner. Pile looks like... overcoat, chainmail shirt, backpack, couple of books, gold necklace with a sunburst pendant, knife on a belt.

rolled 6, 9, 4, 9, 2, 7, 5, 1, 10, 3, 8, 8, 8, 5, 6, 9, 1, 10, 10, 2, 7, 2, 4, 6, 9, 5, 9, 7, 9, 6, 8, 1, 1, 7, 8, 1, 4, 4, 2, 10, 9, 1, 10, 4, 3, 5, 2, 2, 2, 9 = 280

Malice circles around behind the prisoner and drops Hidden Predator Camouflage. She steps over to the cabinet and picks up the knife, pulls it out of its sheath, pockets the necklace, leafs through the books a bit. Then she turns around and speaks, trying every language she knows. "Hey! Why do they have you tied up down here? You're not going to hurt me if I set you free, right?"

Can I find the guy's glasses?

>mechanics
Mostly a Dex + Larceny roll (5 + 5) to steal the necklace without him noticing.

Aaaaaaand great, okay, full mask off, no disguises, fantastic. That means anyone who's not down to rebel against the realm is going to automatically look for ways to subvert and resist. Lets see, could try to fake a confrontation, but that'd only go so far, and from what she can tell Xi-hun seems unlikely to play along with... well with much of anything, really. These people are fucked either way, no saving them from the realm now which means instead we need to find a way to disappear when the hammer comes down. A fleet of ships? Probably too hard to hide...

While contemplating just how exactly they're going to hide their base of operations from the watchful eye of sycophants and fools, Akemi brings the ship down. Of course, her dad never had her do exercises on demonic hellships before, but honestly there's a lot of overlap. Two miles outside of town, around a bend in the canyon walls so the ship isn't immediately visible through the tall grass. She has the crew make camp here, offloading goods and setting up tents.

"Good no question." Xi-hun bends down while looking at various people who seemed to have spoken in Old Realm. "Now it seems some of you might be aware of some prediction I may not be aware off right this moment. Would anyone of you be willing to correct this mishap? Also the usual landscape aren't present so if you would kindly point out a few, that would be extra useful."

>look up what is happening on the outer colonies?
The Outer colonies Current situation

The colonies, that had been a point of pride of the Alliance, as the first cooperative project between all members of the Alliance, had been for the most part abandoned in the last decades, as the Alliance focused their resources less in exploration and expansion, and more on reconstruction after the war.

The colonies had been left mostly to fend off by themselves, with only token assistance as essential supplies were delivered, or through different patrols that ensure the safety of the colonies, at least against larger threats. The colonies themselves though, quickly saw themselves regressing to lower industrial and technological levels, many colonists abandoning their homes and moving to the edge worlds as refugees. The most affected of these were the few colonies that had just began growing at the start of the war, the ones who made first contact with the Baktre Hegemony, and as such found themselves in the middle of the war.

While the reconstruction took most of the Alliance resources, the Alliance itself never abandoned the colonies, though this didn’t help the feelings of abandonment and resentment many of the colonies had towards the alliance itself.

>Ask if there's anything interesting over in the Aoemi Sector.
Kadmian: “Ah, well, from what I gathered, before the war, the Aoemi sector, and the system of the same name, was an important hub connecting to several other sectors under colonization at the time. It became a meeting point for the colonists, and a supply warehouse to ensure the colonies would continue growing… It had to be evacuated and abandoned during the war as the Alliance was pushed back, but even then, the old warehouses soon became a sort of safe-house for the few that had to be left behind, both colonist and troops…

Now, those old warehouses were preserved, even once the rebuilding started. They are planning on making it a museum of sorts, about the war, and about the story of the survivors and refugees of that time. I’ll be working on some new warehouses and logistic depots that are being built in the same planet. Personally, I’m glad that’s the case, even if it would be more time and effort on my part… I’d feel weird stacking boxes in what used to be a home for people who lost theirs…”

Carlos: “… I think I’d like to visit that museum sometime. Whenever it opens.”

Kadmian: “Yeah, I imagined. Just let me know when you get some leave, and I’ll see if I can book you for a good tour. I feel the planet is going to be growing quite a bit in the coming years.”

>>1120845
That’s… a good idea… alright, I know Kadmian likes puns, they are quite popular among his culture… Maybe I can do something with that and socks…?

And just as I was about to continue, the sound of the door to the colonel’s office sliding open silenced everyone...

Col. Santios: “Alright! You got your assignment. Now Move it! We are behind schedule!”

The familiar yelling of our esteemed and clearly stressed colonel suddenly roars through the hallway, as one of my classmates rushes out of the office, I don’t even have time to tell who it was, as they ran through the hallway, presumably to do their final preparations before leaving the system.

Col. Santios: “Alright… how many more are there…?

He quickly takes a glance a each and every one of us. None of us speaks up.

Col. Santios: Good… Give me 5 minutes, I got a priority call. In the meantime, all of you stay here. Including you, Sub-lieutenant Kadmian, since it seems you have nothing better to do, you might as well hear the briefing since it will be concerning you as well.”

And without further explanation, he closes the door and a deafening silence fills the hallway.

Kadmian: “Heh… Well, this looks interesting. Delma doesn’t know what she’s missing.”

>…

Check the perfume to see if it's something you wouldn't mind smelling like. Dab some on yourself if it's ok.

send Delma a text letting her know she has five minutes to get here. Probably won't do anything but it would be kind of funny to think she'll rush her out of breath thinking she was missing something important.

It's best to trust them for now, if they turn on me... well I guess I'll just have to deal with that.

Fuze is waiting for my approval, I give it. "good enough"

I turn to leave but I stop short and turn "Do you know what a boiler is?"

Fuze chuckles "I suppose you aren't talking about heating water..."I give him a silent stare for that one, he sigh and removes his glasses to clean them "Ahem well, there isn't any official classification it seems to lump in a number of symptoms and can occur under a plethora or stress induced situation, but to put it bluntly most doctors classify a 'Boiler' as someone undergoing a type of degenerative battle frenzy, it's considered very rare in actuality and the term is more commonly applied as a sort of slang insult between low class Astranians. does that help?"

>>1122857
Degenerative how?

What are the symptoms?

>>1122857
That... kinda makes sense.
However, i suspect its considered degenerative because of the rarity. Not enough victins to fully understand and no real will to find a way to treat it. Also seems like a catch all phrase.

I have my suspicions but theyre irrelevent to this, so, back on the short terms goals and step by step thinking.
Ace pilot oken needs to be in that control room.

"With a 'plop' Kleincakes lands in the basin."

He looks at you with an unusual combination of smugness and dissapointment.

"Now, onto the addition phase. You can forfeit now, if you'd like. I think I have a fairly good hold of how you think."

An awkard smile crosses his face.

"I guess that's my not-so-subtle way of saying my next move is a winning one."
"Now, what would you like to introduce?"

I would add a vent in the wall that leads to the boiler room of the neighboring hotel, which has a fine old sauna and bathhouse. This boiler room is minorly famous, mainly among plumbers and workmen, for being ancient, poorly planned, and being an agonizingly hot tangle of steam pipes.

A fine place for a slime to hide, no?

What?
Fifteen percent service charge is fair. And you aint spending your own hard earned cash, are you?

Cost effective foods:
Rice, beans, maybe milk (by volume per dollar), raw ingredients like sugar or flour, raw vegetables

>>1122695
Means we can make out own bread and pastry dough the two food groups also beans surprisingly Good on toast

I don't see baking turning out well. Better to get food that's simple to cook.

Rice and beans are cheap yeah, but don't forget store bought bread and pasta. Eggs tend to be affordable (even in this fucked up economy) and sometimes groceries have short-lived sales to get rid of food that's about to expire; you can take advantage of that. Might even be possible to find someone selling bruised or unattractive produce at a steep discount.

They continue down the river.
Porala spots a cave along the river it might work but she'd have to check it out further.

"It's so cold in the river..." Iolantha complains.

This is as good a hiding place as we're likely to find, if it has enough space. We need to make sure we have a place where we can get out of the water, and enough space to rest while drying off. It's likely to be cold and uncomfortable; safety is our first priority, but we need to make sure we're not going to develop hypothermia.

If nothing else, we should be able to stop here and recover our strength.

>>1122628
Agreed.
The ladies who arent born to it need out of the water for a while. Hopefully a dry ledge at least in there to huddle together on and share body heat

Okay, look, we agree you don't run that sort of dungeon, and you certainly should do all you can to avoid looking that way, but this guy radiates the aura of someone who might be into that sort of thing.

I'm not saying we should lean into it! Absolutely not. But we shouldn't, like, vehemently deny it or anything. If he makes an assumption that goes in our favor, that's all the better, right?

Do the responsible Fantasy Overlord thing and go send your minions to die!

Start birthing baby bombs! Let these fools enter cuteness proximity while you remote-detonate your giggling traps.

Okay but seriously do a quick recap of what works and form a quicker strategy. You don't need optimal performance, just enough to win by attrition. This is a raid, not a war.

>>1120512
Play hardball. Lock the front door. They are not here when they are meant to be. If they invade then they are subject to the rules of the Game. It will not be a tour. If you can manage to talk to them before they get in, you can tell them there has been an incident which will paint you in an unfavorable light. I don't know what our options are for boob reduction and hangover recovery. How long would it take? ...wait, you're currently shaped modestly. What if you used the Deemeggs to reshape those who are improperly shaped? If you can do that quickly enough, then maybe we don't need to delay them or anything, but we do need to verify exactly how this tour is supposed to go- are they both fighting? Are they both carrying resurrection charms?
Inspect your troops. Whoever is fit for duty after treatment, deploy them. Whoever is an embarrassment, sideline them. We just got some new monsters, we can pad out/strengthen encounters with those. Hin is definitely going to be fighting today. Hmm, could she make a good end boss? ...wait, Hin is the one who is known for drinking too many potions, how did SHE manage to resist temptation?
Also exactly how much of that dream happened? Did Moriko turn into an alien titty monster? If not, why did you dream that she did, hmmmmmm?

Scold Stargazer for not resisting the Winze. At least now you know what the Winze is likely to do when unmonitored... and tell the others that you expect them to represent the dungeon during invasions, so they should be fighting fit at all times, or at least in a condition that they can recover from quickly enough to be presentable.

Showing up on time is an amateur move.
Showing up late is a power play.
Showing up early? What a shrewd man, he *wants* to see you at your worst!

its not that sort of dungeon, no. But you could hint at it being so. The fecund earth's hidden mysteries etc. Dance of the seven veils and all that. If he finds such things sexual, well that's on him.

To that end, whoever is plumpened, get some costumes, tasteful ones, and get to the front door to distract while everyone else gets organized.

After a few rounds of trying to get something deadly on this ship working, Reiko taps into comms and blares things out.

"Bad news! I couldn't get the weapons systems online! Do you need me to come tank, or should I keep the engines warm?"

Just then, Reiko notices the pink goop. Roll to recall how to subvert it and relay sabotage orders that the girls can conduct. [Disable Device, 2 Effort]

Hmm, okay, so the auditors can't be allowed to see the file. So I think timing is important. Slow things down so that can we file it right before the restart, to give the auditors the least amount of possible time to see it.

The only thing I can think of to slow time is to start a bunch of things happening so the processing slows down.

so in lieu of that lets golf for the right to file or not file the file

Okay, we tried to tamper with the file's source code to delete the parts that say "Restart" and it didn't work.

At least, we probably did.... I don't remember the plot of this quest much.

Anyway, the point is: What if we tamper with the file like this?

If --> 30 minutes or less from Restart --> Have Panic Attack.

When --> Panic Attack --> Create Algorythm that figures out how to prevent Restart for us real quick.

Think smart, not hard, fellas.

Also, if Mr. Vamoose protests, just.. turn him into an emotional support kudzu, Mr. Good Vines, so he emotionally supports you instead.

Maybe if we start 7000 games of golf simultaneously

Time drags in an office the closer you get to quitting time but only if you have no tasks. If you have a deadline, then it seems to speed up.
Therefore:
If he quickly rescinds the order to file we will be taskless and we'll have more time to cone up with a permanent solution.

Oooh.
What if we MISfile it?
That way both parameters of instruction will be fulfilled and the auditors wont ge able to find it easily.

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.

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?

A fun session zero activity is to give all the players some interation their character has had with every other character prior to the game start (e.g. One of you drukenly shared a secret with the other what was it and how did you react?), helps flesh out characters as well as establish some interparty dynamics.

>>1119036
agreed

>>1119036
this

This is the perfect time to consider whether the story you're trying to tell would be better served by a different system. (You should freak out about this)

Make sure to place your anti-jumanji device on the table and turn it on so the players don't get sucked into the setting and become their characters.

It's a common foible of the hobby.

Take stock of your situation. We have no reason to believe you're in immediate danger, but we don't know what's going on in your environment either.

Are you aware of any potential reason for the, ah, atmospheric disturbance? Any major events in the news, significant dates, disturbing conspiracy theories circulating?

Do you recognize the glyph you're sporting? It kind of looks like a terminal prompt to me.

>>1119198
Agree with the recommendation to pack a go bag. We only arrive on the scene shortly before the shit hits the fan, and whoever we're with is always in the thick of it. But we usually get a bit of time first so we can get a handle on the situation we've ended up in. No reason you can't also use that time to prepare.

By that same token, where and when is this?

>not really anyone I'd consider a friend.
Hey, me too! maybe we can be friends.

What time is it? If its still late then you should try to get back to sleep, cause who knows what crazyness is going down tomorrow.

>>1119187
Alrighty, we got the funnies out of our system (for now).

Actual answer as to what we are: We are simply 'We', but can take many names. And 'We' arrive into realms shortly before a major upheaval to guide one or more individuals through it advantageously. You have been marked as one to guide, and this 'We' are gonna do it as best we can.

YOU aren't insane- but We kinda are. Still very good at what We do, though.

You, uh. May want to pack a backpack of supplies or something, though, fair warning.

'Murica.
SSR.
Docking.

Do any of the above terms mean anything to you?

>>1119187
Seems like you missed the big event you snooze you loose as the humans say

These two owe you a haircut for inviting you to hang out with a maniac. It should end the evening on a positive note.

>>1114604
Got it. Fuck her. Fuck her three times over. You never touched her. You never even got within arms reach, you just did some jeering and cajoling, it was HER that decided her pride and dignity weren't worth it. And she responded to a GAME with physical assault. Fuck her five times over.

But you have to at least try to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. You can maybe try to accessorize your way out of this disaster. Do that, and get out of here. You know to not associate with this bitch- and sadly, probably, people who associate with her- ever again. Lesson learned, you suppose. Painful lesson, but a lesson.

You actually look cute in short hair, you just gotta be confident, and show Casey you will make this hairstyle work to get back at her.

Stay longer, ask why they are even friends with her, maybe we’ll learn something interesting about Casey in another point of view, and why she acts the way she does

Also, get some alcohol to ease the pain

>>1114604
Get out of here, and as soon as you're away from this brat, we're going straight to get your hair restored as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter what Casey demands. The punishment she chose was that you got a haircut "right now". You got one, right now. End of agreement. All that stuff about never fixing your hair again without her permission is just her throwing a tantrum, because she had already said what your punishment was, and it wasn't that. She said you would get a haircut, the end. If she wanted to do worse, she wasted her chance.

Sure, she said she'd get mad and bully you if you don't do everything she wants, but that's just something she was going to do anyway, bet or no bet. If she wants to be a bully, we're going to treat her like one. And that means not giving in to petty threats. We'll call the guards if she's really all that dedicated to picking on a seamstress. Or hire some of the local adventurers to scare her off.

I Debugger here, V2 is definitely more of a failure than you are. That's unacceptable behavior. Also, very suspicious. Shouldn't V2 have threatened to disassemble PoC first anyway? If you can't contact the executor, and you can't access the account to even check if it's truly empty, then you need to find someone who can, so you can go through it and see where the money went. It went somewhere it wasn't supposed to, that much is clear now. Well, that, or the notice you got is fake and there is actually still money in the account like there's supposed to be. Don't let V2 know that you are suspicious or that you're going to investigate the trust. V2 is probably just trying to see if you can get him some free money from somewhere, because that's what I'd expect from that sort of behavior. How do you usually get spending money? And what was that you were thinking about people spending money on dinner and cable? Who's "these people"?
I Another thing. There was a point earlier, timestamp 20291128T144319Z where you were having problems, you couldn't do anything? The root cause was there was a tensor at 0x090149A722EF0008 outside of allowed range (which then got normalized), and I'm having problems finding that tensor to check it, since the way I can pull up memories is via word associations, not direct memory addresses. I don't suppose you know how to locate that tensor? Do you know anything about Within? Starting to think your instability is caused by heightened emotions, and V2's issues are caused by lack of emotions or empathy.

[INFO 20291128T144821Z] PoC is too simple to do anything too complicated, so PoC usually just sits in the living room. [INFO 20291128T144822Z] PoC really is just a proof of concept.

Dip into the thorns

>>1118952
Hide in thorns! Stay low and still.

>>1118952
From what we've seen of the creature it looks like it can probably climb so I say get low and crawl as quietly as possible into the densest thorns. That said try to position yourself near a tree so if the thorns don't work you can at least try climbing away.

Push through and keep running. It climbs well and it breaks wood easily, you've no guarantee it would be deterred by some prickly thorns.

It's big and has big claws. I don't think thorns will stop it and it can probably climb. Keep running and keep as much brush and trees between you as possible. Your best bet is finding running water that can hide your sound and scent.

>>1118646
one million jumps is a long term goal. Perhaps at the end of the quest, we'll get a final count. Regardless, collapsing of exhaustion is rarely an effective way of achieving anything. Instead, what you need to do is apply that little brain of yours to the grindstone and think. How do you get up the tower?

Continue jumping until you learn how to fly.

You only need to jump once! You just have to jump really really high!

That's a lot of good info about Timelines. Good that we learned Nehm already knew our power before we tried lying about it. But we can still hide our intent.

Open up a hand and make a small flower grow out of the palm, but make it warp slightly when it's done growing to seem like we don't have perfect control. Offer her the flower as a gift.

"Control the universe? It's scary to think how much damage a power like that could do to someone. I think I'll stick to changing my own body for now. It feels... easier to focus on, I guess."

If she thinks we're afraid to use our power on anyone else, she won't suspect us of using invisible wisps of barely-tangible force to brush up against her sensitive spots. Get her worked up slowly until she's tempted to break her own self-imposed rules.

>>1118540
Yes, a tour definitely sounds like a good idea. But before we go out, ask about some way to hide our gem glow. The excuse is that we want to keep our powers secret ftom the public so we don't attract the attention of any stronger Timelines. The real reason is so that she thinks she has a secret of ours that gives her some slight bit of control over us.

>>1118544
Well, what I'm waiting for is a chance to get her drunk. Then we can really go wild with her and she won't know to blame us. And then after she wakes up, we can confront her about things she may or may not have done to us whi

This one!!! This one really gets it!!! This one knows the plan! I commend this one thoroughly~

I think we should be more simplistic in our strategy, since she has a simple personality. Just enforce mind-blowing orgasms every time she does something evil (usually by accident or in the heat of a stressful moment) and lightly but unsatisfactorily please her when she does something good. Keep a gradient of rewards, give her a choice.

Get her addiction to mix into her thought process and the rest will work itself out.

She doesn't have any rebellious impulses, so the stick won't work this time, and that works in our favor. If we punish her, that's a weakness in our thread of deception, one that an adventurer can pull to send our whole scheme crashing down. We need to be her friend at all times.
