C) Ask them if they have any form of body dysmorphia or bodily they'd like permanently cured to their wishes (in a non-jerk genie way). I.e. bribe them with body modding.

D) If anyone asks, you're just someone with dwarfism and/or the standard uniform doesn't fit you. Or 'you have a condition'.

A) I don't know how the heroes will react to taking quests from me if I have a guard by my side.

B) I do not wish to trick or mislead heroes about the quests. So it won't be needed.

C) Well, if you are offering somebody to do that for me, might as well.

I don’t think we need one right now, based off these results and the previous one, and we already got some precautions like the painting and the cat to calm things down, and if that don’t work, we have the appeasement paladin helping us.

But ask who and where we can find this body guard in case we change our minds in the future.

A) it is all about appearance. We need to look trustworthy if the heroes are going to go for our quests.

check the warehouses and other dock buildings. Anything that has been exposed to the weather is probably a wreck at this point but something that has been stored might still be in something approaching good condition.

Also do we have any way to cook back at camp? Those weeds might actually be useful if we could actually turn it into bread. As for how, I'd honestly be more surprised if Galena didn't know who to make flour and bake bread.

We could still do lewd things if she wants. Or does she have another quest for us? We've got a request from the Dick Priest for her. Does she know him?

She seems to be a natural sub. We can use this! Boob-carry her to the Dick Shrine and wedge Dick Priest in between!

"No time to explain, we need your help for a HOLY QUEST!"

Also, be gentle with those snipples. Give em a smooch.

Pretend to be a personal butler/servant, someone who needs their password/code authorization, or the code signed on a document so they can finalize an order for something ridiculously luxurious, expensive or enjoyable. Getting them 'drunk' might also help.

"Monsieur, we have ordered the champagnie fountain, super-yacht, solid gold statue and Japanese-style hot spring full of 'amorous masseurs' as per yesterdays request. We just need your five-digit code to finalize the purchase and they will arrive within ze hour."

If the manager starts to suspect you're not supposed to be here, you could lie that you were supposed to be a nightmare where all the data on their computer gets deleted, but that it's your first day on the job and couldn't get past their genius password. Maybe they'll pity you.

Secret Swimming Spot: ugh, would be so lewd to see Tineola in a swimsuit if we let her know of the secret swimming spot... but we gotta keep it a secret for Saiorse to relax in (and see her in a skimpy swimsuit).
And I'm sure Naomi would want a spot to be alone from Samantha and her nagging.

as for the lens, keep it a secret from Tineola, its a secret to you and (mostly) you alone.

2, as consolation for not having laces. But be quick about it, she might eat you out of shop if left alone for too long (though you can charge her if she eats too much. $) just get a plate with the samples. Be sure to ask for a critique, not just on taste, but mainly how it feels, like texture and thickness and other things.

Bah, secrets are too much work.

Spread the secret, let them both know. Too many secrets will weigh you down, so it wouldn't hurt to share some of the more harmless ones like this. Just ask them not to spread it around too much.

“Wait a minute…” Gabe stands up and grabs his double by the shoulders. “You can use gate magic… that means we have two senders.”

“Yes?” Gaybe responds. He watches as gears tick away in the mouse’s brain and a smile spreads across his face.

Gabe’s voice is low and intense, “That means we meet the margin of safety.”

The doppelgänger’s eyes widen and he asks, “Uh, excuse me? What does that mean?”

“It means: you want to become me, right? You want to be Gabriel Wikk?” The sender leans closer, his smile stretching wider by the moment. “That means you need to become a legend. It means we’re going sky-fucking!”

“Really? Are you sure, Gabe?” Casey asks, suddenly concerned.

Rather than responding, the mouse pulls his copy into an embrace and starts making out with him. “Mmmmmm~ Mmm-hmmm!” He nods, tongue deep inside the changeling’s mouth. They tangle together before Gabe pulls them both backwards onto the bed. “Oh Fates, I need you in me right now…”

“Is he okay?” Kasey asks her original.

Casey sighs and nods. “He’s living his dream. Gabe’s always been a bit in love with himself; he’s just never been able to fuck himself until now.”

Oh, like you wouldn't be similarly happy to play someone equally smart in a game of your choosing... or to see just how far the two of your shapeshifting skills can go.

The way Fey rate experiences, quality and uniqueness and spectacle and more, Gaybe will probably enjoy the Sky Fucking just as much as Gabe. Poor Kasey might have to deal with an adrenaline junky team mate like we do.

You head over to the farmer Marten’s stall.

Marten: “Bit late today Eugene. Almost sold out of your regular purchases here.”

You sigh in relief, asking if he’s saved any broccoli or spinach for you. His nose twitches with disgust.

Marten: “Whole square’s been hounding me for it. The appeal of such foul greens is beyond me. Rather a nice farm chicken or a wild jay myself. Surely there’s more you feed on than this Eugene?”

You explain that every species has different needs to sustain themselves, but no. Another farm sources the more meaty meals for dinner. The Hatchet’s farm is a bit more specialized- Oh…seems from that scowl you’ve offended Marten.

Marten: “You lubber-hammering striped stain! After all the Bushlows do to provide for you. To have such gall as to turn your nose in disgust at us.”

Well then.

We got this, what's the plan?

The mech could provide cover while one of you approaches. Then when the tank does its initial barrage the other comes in

This gun looks bad news, but its weekness is probably elevation. Throw a missile at its missile racks and is that doesn't take it out, try jumping over the tank to strike its behind.

It starts tracking, Tien opens fire with Frontline to let you get a chance at one of the missile racks with your own. Damage is minor but the heat can be felt from the plasma blaster.

You raise your new shield, built from the recovered tech of the Red Mask arm you grabbed.

Next action?

Overload the cannon with weapons fire. If you can destroy it in time, it'll take out the missile launcher. Don't waste time destroying the rest if it can't fight back, you're on the clock here.

Inquire about the chains that the princess has. Wouldn't they leave a mark on such a delicate creature? Also, ask the bat if she would be interested in getting a painting from us. We should try to get on her good side.

Seems her gesture is saying 'the kings service means you have to become a blue-eyed revenant'. That's absolutely a bad idea. Though helping Thomas against Pietro through courtly shenanigans could help both Thomas and the Duchess. But that's a plan for later.

Yes, asking her about the... Arts... In this place would be a good topic of conversation. You might have to learn or adapt a form or art that doesn't involve murder if you're forced to stick around.

Also could ask a bit about brother Juan. You are unfamiliar with the religion(s) or faith(s) practiced in Malevento, and how... Tolerant the kingdom is about such matters. Having to 'convert' to a faith or abandon your beliefs might be required or demanded.

The butterfly being 'bewitching' sounds iffy. Either there are bugfolk who keep trying to reclaim her (or force her into the act), or she coerces other folk into unsuccessfull rescue attempts.

And from the sounds of things, she's too 'delicate' to puppet or reanimate by force, but also too pretty to kill off.

Ask about 'Espania'. Is the 'kingdom' at war with that place and its people, to have its princess held against her will here?

>>1131680
looks like we gotta talk to the butterfly next. ask her what happens if someone never returns to the court. do they search for them? or presume them dead?

So that butterfly is clearly Lady Icktechi, who the moth priestess and the beetles are trying to rescue. The priestess foresaw us ending up in this situation, the princess is going to be our ticket out of it. We need to find out as much as we can about her, figure out how to get close to her, and decide what we're going to say to earn her trust. Getting her out of here will not be easy, but it's going to be our overarching objective now that we're here.

In the meantime, I agree with asking Allonza about Malevento's history, arts, culture, and society. Dive into it, press her on little details. The more we push at the limits of whatever fabricated backstory Cadvere has come up with for them, the more it might strain his control over their minds.

We also might ask her a few questions about Cadvere himself. After all, it only stands to reason you would want to know about the illustrious monarch you will soon be working under, and all of his glorious deeds. You've heard rumors he's some kind of miracle worker, is that true? (Don't be afraid to lay it on thick here; if Cadvere is as much of a manchild as he seems, he's almost assuredly also a narcissist, and so obsequious flattery will be the best way to get him to lower his guard and possibly spill his secrets.)
