Your name is Aubrey Aardvark, and you are the best fucking detective in all of Station.

Station is a hell of a place. Part-city, part-corporation, part-transportation hub, Station is located at the nexus of all known universes - and a few unknown ones. It is bigger than one could ever imagine, and its denizens are a potpourri of those important enough, brave enough, or just plain crazy enough to want to vist other realities.

Inter-'verse travel is facilitated by the Transdimensional Train, which calls Station its home. A ticket aboard the Train can cost someone anywhere from nothing to everything, depending on the needs of Station at that time.

As for what you're doing here, working this job... well, a while back you had quite an adventure (see >>/questarch/799546/ for the gritty details... which may or may not be finished by the time you read this), resolved a bunch of personal issues, and found yourself in need of a job. Alexi - your current boss and one of Station's Directors - was extremely impressed by how you handled your... adventure... and so hired you on as a detective.

Said abilities include your exceptional hearing, acute sense of smell, and network of contacts, along with a few other traits commmon to atavistic aardvark anthros such as yourself. You've got an ear for danger, a nose for trouble, and your claws are just itching to get to the bottom of this case.

Ah, the case. Indeed. You just got off the phone with your boss and found out that two of your good friends, Outissa (noxan, female) and Beatrix (yinglet, also female), went suddenly missing. They vanished completely off of Station's grid... which should be impossible. Nothing and no one leaves or enters Station without it being logged, and anyone still IN Station should be trackable.

You suspect foul play, a dirty deed, perhaps a revenge plot, but you don't know for certain.

What you do know, however, is that you will FIND what happened to Outissa and Beatrix and you'll make them realize why no one ever, EVER, fucks with you or your friends.

>Back door

You try the front door on a whim and find it locked.

Well, you always were a big fan of back door action. You shrug and head around to the back of the to—apartment. And you find that there's a yard. Which wouldn't be an issue, except that there's a tall wooden fence surrounding the yard, circling it like a pack of cedar wolves around a grass doe.

Also, there doesn't appear to be a gate. Fortunately for you, you've never met a fence that could keep you out. No matter how tall it was, or whether it was on grass, wood, or hell, even concrete... you crack your knuckles as you ponder whether to:

A. Get through fence.

>And stop smoking, that's unhealthy!

You were never a big smoker. In fact, you've never touched cigarettes in the 30+ years you've been alive.

What you're smoking is a substance that works to numb the inside of your nose.

Your snout is so sensitive that just being in a crowd will drive you crazy, so you have specially-designed smokes that cut your nose-based noticing powers down to about the level of an average human.

Good thing about these babies is that your nose is back to about 70% snoot power within two minutes of stopping, and back at full within ten minutes.

Speaking of which... you snuff your smoke out between your claws. You'll be needing your nose soon.

You toss your coat up over the fence - no use getting it even grimier than it already is.

You inspect the ground. Looks like grass and dirt. Nice. Not as fun to dig through as concrete, but a lot quicker.

You'll be on the other side of this baby in two or three minutes.

It's been a while since you've had a good dig like this. One of the nice things about being an atavistic aardvark like yourself is that even though you lack thumbs like your more "evolved" kin, you get to enjoy the insane digging speed that your non-intelligent forebears had.

What the...? This dog didn't bark the whole time you were diggin', or did you just not hear 'em? 'Cause you'd think most dogs would be barkin' up a storm on hearing a big critter diggin' under a fence. Or someone throwing a coat on top of the fence. Likely this one is trained not to be noisy. It's probably not a guard dog either, 'cause guard dogs are supposed to bark at intruders, chase and attack them. And it's not growling, baring its teeth or opening it's mouth to bite, so it's not acting threatening to you. Decent odds you're just facing a harmless pet dog. ...But do Outissa and Beatrix have a dog? ...Do they share a backyard with their neighbors? If they do, perhaps it's their neighbor's dog. You can't see a collar on it or hear its tags jangling, can you?

Say "hello, doggo" as you wriggle back into your hole and see how the dog reacts. If it remains non-hostile and calm, then continue digging through, then once through backfill the hole enough the dog can't get out easy. You don't want it to escape because it may have case important scents on it.

At this point, you can't tell if these are the voices of suggesters or your own thoughts or whatever, and you're getting mixed up.

You're feeling pretty frisky. Digging does that to you. And it's been at least a month or two since you've had a good fuck.

On the one hand, you're... not averse to the idea of fooling around with a strange animal you'd never met before - wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.

On the other hand, though, you have a notorious guttermind and all of this could just be playful and silly haha friendly lick who could take that the wrong way???

Before going any further, you want to be 100% certain that you know what you're doing.

A. Friendly lick and sniff?
or
B. Naughty lick and sniff

Just please at least follow the Harkness Test for your fuck candidates; Assuredly sapient, of legal age and able to give clear consent. This dog fails two of those criteria. And you're not going to get anything close to a "good fuck" from some random dog anyway.

Your motor's revving like a V8 engine, and you're desperately in need of some pistoning, which makes it so that you can't make a clear decision.

It doesn't help that this is a dog. You have a thing for getting tied - the thought of someone walking in on you, seeing you in such a compromising position, the shame and embarrasment and sheer humiliation of being caught...

...well, someone just installed a supercharger on that engine of yours.

But, is this really the right time or place for fooling around? You have two people you care very much about depending on you to do your damn job. A job that you're fucking amazing at.

You know what, you'll let him decide what to do! If he's not interested, he'll walk away.

You see his ears perk as he picks up on... yeah. He definitely smells how turned on you are. His tail gives an eager wag, and the deep masculine musk hits you as can tell that he's now horny as well. Your heart pounds and you swallow, mouth suddenly dry. It's gonna happen. He's decided. He's—

You take a few moments to brush the dirt and grass off your shirt and pants, when you hear the dog return. You can smell him, even strong now, almost overpoweringly so. Why isn't he going for you? He clearly wants to.

He drops something at your feet.

You bend over to pick it up.

It's a collar.

The dog's tail wags faster, and he circles behind you to nose at the side of your tail. He noses urgently, before backing off and watching you.

You give the collar a sniff, and the only hint of this doggo's scent on it is the immediate drool-smell from being carried back in his mouth. The underlying scent - the one belonging to whoever wears this collar - is one you recognize: pine sap, with a hint of smoke, like a slightly-singed forest.

Your eyes go wide, and you look at the nametag, which confirms your suspicion.

Fifteen, twenty minutes tops. That's what you'll give yourself. Then you need to get back to work. As useful as tension relief can be, you don't want to spend too much time on it.

You put the collar on, clicking it into place with a sound like a gunshot to the heart.

As soon as you do that, the dog gives a happy "woo wooooooo" cry,before jumping up on you, his front paws on your shoulders.

He's taller than you are! He's huge! He gives your face several eager licks, then lapping inside each of your ears, which makes you shiver. Between that and his weight, you're pushed to your knees.

You fumble with your pants before getting them halfway down. Your underwear comes down next.

Damn. You're going to have to wash those later. They have a wet spot the size of Station.

Your bottom half now completely exposed, you push your rear up in the air, arch your tail forward out of the way, and rest your hand on your hands.

"Oh my god." The sound you make once your new friend introduces you to Mr. Tongue is so lewd that it could make a porn star faint.

Mr. Tongue then goes on an adventure from your valley up to your backwoods, and he's quite the traveller. He sets up camp there for a bit, and... and...

...and it now feels so good that you can't even think in proper hardboiled metaphor.

Moments later, you feel the weight of the dog press down on you from above as he wraps his forepaws around your waist and positions himself. You can't think. You are just nothing but raw need at this point, and you push back and help guide him where you want him, where his tongue was just moments ago.

He's slow at first. Gentle. Tender. Not the manic, frenzied motions that you were expecting, but instead, what feels like love-making.

He whines and noses at the back of your head, at the collar, at your ears, at the collar again.

You are a lurid mess at this point, and your heart skips several beats as he finishes, which means... he does what dogs are known to do.

Wow. He's big. Much bigger than you thought he would be. You feel a rising wave of panic because he just keep. On. Expanding. What if he tears you! What if he splits you open, what if you can't walk ever again!

It stops and stays. You are now extremely full. You're in heaven. His weight lifts off you and he maneuvers around until the two of you are butt-to-butt. You are drooling everywhere, eyes half-lidded. You're going to be stuck here for a while.

Hey Amaranth, you could hear us last time, so why don't we just tell you what we saw when we were with Outissa.
Laertes has her and likely Beatrice too. He somehow intercepted an adventure that Beatrice was bringing Outissa on via some magical orb thing, and lured them through a door marked XQ which is associated with Outissa's adventures.
Maybe you already know this, but he's Outissa's brother and his real name is Khoros. He is a swarm of voices, which we are a part of so that means he's hijacked the quest system, and has power over people who he knows the names of. He knows Beatrice's name, and Outissa's true name (which is Aletheia, a name he gave her then made her forget the origin of) and I really hope he doesn't know yours. It might be a good idea to attempt rescue via someone who has no name at all.


Now, now, can't have you ruining all of the fun, can we? This "Amaranth" can't hear you. She can't hear ANY of you. At least... not anymore.

Amaranth pads around to inspect the "situation" and the malamute greets her with a wag, his brush-soft tail tickling against yours. She leans in close, peering at where the doggo and you are joined, her head the size of your entire torso. Hmm. Tied Kritikpok your backdoor? Aubrey-so-silly.

"Kritikpok?"

Yes. His name... oh! Know Aubrey did not! Amaranth gives an amused purr. The sudden, low vibration - like a diesel engine idling - scatters your thoughts into shreds of ecstacy.

Some gals like to sit on running washing machines to get off. You never had to resort to that, since Ammy has always been your own personal vibration factory.

She keeps on purring and you keep on... "keeping on", until you stop keeping on and finally get off.

Fifteen minutes and one friendly tongue bath later - from both Kritikpok and Amaranth, gotta get things nice and clean - and you're dressed again, basking in the rosy afterglow of a job dog well done.

"Mmm... so what brings you by, Ammy?" you say, your voice quiet and sleepy, like the driver of a tractor-trailer five seconds before a fatal crash.

Told Alexi to me that Aubrey needed information on case. Here Amaranth is to help. Use Aubrey as she wishes of Amaranth-so-clever.

You scratch Kritikpok behind the ears and he nuzzles your hand. Amaranth is better than anyone at tracking down people, able to hop from 'verse to 'verse at will. She works for Station as a proctor for inter-'verse travellers, as well as a monitor for inter-'verse threats.

Send to investigate leads Aubrey can of Amarath-so-resourceful. Find Aubrey any potential clues, inform Amaranth, but only important ones. Check Amaranth cannot every lead. Too much travel. She laughs, her square-topped ears perking.

Oh, and Beatrix and Outissa were last on Station in Smoothie Criminal where they used the orb thing which allows Class Selection to travel to TYDALOK. Outissa initially got in but Beatrix did not, for some reason. Also Outissa forgot to choose a race which meant she wound up human. Except I guess that was a dream because Beatrix wound up shaking her awake in the weird place they really wound up in. I'm assuming things looked normal to Kelly(the owner of the store) when they left, because otherwise he'd have reported it and the investigation would have started there instead of their apartment.

First, I would suggest you relax and not worry. You'll be taken care of in the most loving way. And you will give Aubrey plenty of love for us.

Of course, after the doggy and the cleanup, Aubrey's love meter is already at max. Since she wants to play a detective now, I suggest we spare her the hugs and simply tell her about Beatrix and Outissa. You're a friend of Beatrix and you helped Outissa write her story. But other than that what do you know? >>831126 This certainly isn't something you're aware of. It could be true, it could be false. Would you choose to pass random knowledge onto Aubrey?

I disagree. I think both of them made it to Tydalok just fine. I just think that Beatrix got pulled out of that 'verse before Outissa was. I also think it wasn't a dream, because of the way narrative PoV was corrected.

I'm kinda skeptical about that "item of great power". I think Kelly could confirm that Beatrix pulled out such an item. Ammy, are green orbs which transport you to certain types of 'verses common and work flawlessly?

I wasn't suggesting she tell Aubrey that. She probably shouldn't do that, since Aubrey's better off investigating the physical evidence rather than the weird meta bullshit Khoros is pulling. Amaranth, however, likely has the security clearance or influence to investigate further into it or tell someone who can. I assume someone can confirm if the information is true, as well.

Regardless, one thing we know for sure is that Khoros was blocking our ability to speak to Amaranth, which means at the very least the quest system has been compromised. The authorities need to be informed.

>Be someone
You are Aubrey.

As soon as Ammy left, that blasted dog went and vanished somewhere inside this apartment. You've barely done a cursory search - Outissa's scent is everywhere (to be expected), along with Beatrix's uniquely not-quite-dino-and-also-sea-breeze aroma (also to be expected.)

First thing you had noticed was how neat and tidy the apartment was.

Second thing you noticed was that Outissa apparently kept her bed in the middle of the dining room.

Third thing you noticed was the sudden knocking that started up on the front door. You've spent the last couple of moments debating whether or not to answer it. It was a light, quick knock, the knock you'd imagine a concerned neighbor might make.

It was just as polite when it repeated itself a few seconds later.

"Hello? Is this the apartment that belongs to my daughter? I worry about her." The noxan woman with the knockout knockers who was just about to knock again tilts her head at you. "I am her mother and I am very concerned for her. I worry that her brother... Khoros? I think he goes by Khoros now. I worry that her brother Khoros has done something to her."

Is she telling the truth? Your snoot crinkles as you test her scent for familiarity, and your ears swivel as you listen for the telltale signs of someone lying, and...

...well, fuck you with a backhoe and call you Susie, this dame appears to be on the up-and-up. Without a doubt, this woman is Outissa's mother.

"Are you her friend? Is my daughter here? Can I speak with her?" You've never heard a noxan speak before, but the way Outissa's mother sounds is exactly as you would have imagined - slightly hoarse, a little heavy on the vocal fry. She fidgets a little on the doorstep, waiting for a response.

She's the one that would know the most about her children, so I guess you've gotta tell her what happened to Outissa and her roommate Beatrix.

Good idea. You'll get this dame to tell you what she knows by making her feel pretty. And comfortable. And pretty comfortable.

You consider playing your cards close to your chestruff and lying about not knowing Outissa, but — well, you're still wearing her collar, so that option's out.

"Yes. My name's Aubrey, I'm your daughter's friend. I'm also a detective, here to investigate her disappearance, as well as that of her friend Beatrix." You pause, ears tucking back as you deliver the bad news. "So... seems no sign or sight of them seen in Station since Saturday or Sunday. Sorry, sweetheart."

—is she snickering? She has a paw up to her mouth, and her eyes smile, and... oh. That's why. You glare, she composes herself, and you continue.

"ANYWAY, I'm currently invethtigati— thearchin— LOOKING INTO her apartment. Pleathe come in, have a theat, make yourthelf comfortable."

After a brief bit of rummaging - Outissa keeps her dishes under the sink, spare scarves in the pantry, and don't even get STARTED on what you found in the freezer - you locate two glasses and a bottle of decent bourbon. You fill each glass halfway, and offer Outissa's mother one. She accepts it and takes a seat on the couch, while you plop down in an overstuffed chair.

"Nothing like some booze to soothe the nerves." You take a small sip of your drink, the complex flavors of the whiskey swirling around your mouth. "What's your name, gorgeous?"

She downs about a quarter of her drink in one swallow, and then shoots you a smile that pins your ears to the wall. "Call me... Eurydice."

SOCIAL MODE START!

Aubrey's SNOOT and EARS make her a master of grilling people for important and interesting info! During SOCIAL MODE, when someone says a word, name, or phrase that they have a strong or notable emotional response to, Aubrey is able to pick up on it and press that person for more details. Those will be referred to as "PRESSURE POINTS".

PRESSURE POINTS will appear bolded and color-coded to indicate the emotional response the person felt when they said it.

PRESSURE POINTS will fall into one of five general emotion catergories:

CALM/RELAXED (purple)
INTEREST/CURIOUSITY (green)
SAD/WORRY/FEAR (blue)
ANGER/DISGUST (orange)
HAPPY/AMUSED/AROUSED (pink)

During SOCIAL MODE, updates will prompt you to reply with a suggestion that includes the PRESSURE POINT that you want Aubrey to pursue further. I will only count one PRESSURE POINT suggestion per person (it'll be whatever the most recent one you suggest is.)

I believe that the fact that the word "worry" is colored pink is a tip that the correct choice would be to go for the actual source of "worry", which is blue, that is, "fallen out of touch".

Stand up and walk around with your drink in hand while explaining that, as Outissa's very close friend, you'll do everything you can so that Eurydice may get in touch with her daughter again. Tell her that you believe that it's important for family members to be together, especially one as charming as hers. Lastly, sit down somewhere within her reach (on the couch next to her, or on the table) and ask her what she misses about her daughter.

I'm curious about Outissa's father. Was Laertes representative of the reality? I'm opting to keep pushing her pink.

One possible explanation for some of her odd emotional connections is that she used to take advantage of her daughter's memory losses in some erotic way and was intrigued by your own blackouts and the opportunity they would represent yet saddened by your implication that they no longer occur. Maybe reading too much into it here, but this hasn't been a very healthy family thus far. Hell maybe she is even a transgendered Laertes. I rule nothing out.


Anyway, pink.
>>
No. 834705 ID: 8cb228

Okay. So something is very weird here. Over and over, her emotional reaction to things she should, by all means, be really sad about is happy/aroused/amused.

I've a few hypotheses.
1.) She's flirting with you
2.) She's under observation and trying to get a secret message to you
3.) She, herself, is betraying something sinister (perhaps that she has done), and her emotional tone not matching up to her words is involved.

Don't let on that you think something is weird yet. Just try to ask your questions in such a way to give you more information about this, these are the comments that don't seem to 'fit'.

So, if Eurydice here says Outissa's father was abusive and horrible, then why is it so damned amusing that her daughter thinks their father is still around? Maybe if I ask more about his death, I can get this dame to spill, without me clueing her into me reading her like an open book.

YOU say, "Her father sounded like a real bastard; didn't deserve someone like you. How'd he die, anyway?"

EURYDICE's expression immediately turns sad. Her voice quavers, and she says, "He was worse than you could ever imagine. He pushed my son too far one day. The one good thing my son ever did was when he tore his father to bloody pieces. M-monsters, the both of them." Tears stream silently down her face, like twin rivers through black loam.

Your first reaction is to dismiss her tears as complete bullshit, but you hesitate, and instead you silently offer Eurydice a tissue from inside your coat. She uses it to dab away the tears.

EURYDICE says, "I am sorry for crying like that. Ha ha." She gives you a sheepish grin, still sniffling. "My body still betrays me. It still remembers the trauma from my daughter's father. Even when I try to disassociate. It does not always help. I... do not want you to feel sorry for me. I... do not want you to think I am trying to manipulate you.

She wants help, huh? Well... you can give her "help." Press her pink, as it were. It smells to you like she's getting turned on - booze in small amounts can be a wonderful lubricant.

You take a quick assessment of her before going further, however. Your ears swivel, snoot snuffles, and you determine the dame's feeling the warm glow of the bourbon, but not actually impaired. That's good.

YOU say, "Hey. Wanna take this conversation to the bed? I can't take away the lonely, but I can keep you company for the night. And by 'keep you company' I mean 'sex' and by 'the night' I mean 'until you can't walk right.'"

EURYDICE says, "Yes."

Ok, let me summarize things:

A motherly Noxan showed up at the door while Aubrey was there, said she was worried Khoros had done something to Outissa and that she was out of touch with her daughter. Aubrey used her senses and concluded that the woman was, without a doubt, Outissa's mother. Curiously, she implied Khoros was not his original name. I guess she named him.

She said her name was Eurydice, that she had fallen out of touch with her children, and seemed... amused or happy? that Outissa was having memory problems and had a tendency of getting taken advantage of. She explained that Outissa/Khoros' father drove her away from her children, she was angry that Khoros became a monster like his father, and that the only good thing he did was tear his father to pieces. Aubrey poked at some unusually calm emotional responses until Eurydice explained she dissociates to deal with trauma, specifically the trauma related to Outissa's father. Maybe she was happy that Outissa just forgets things, because she can't. She said all she wants now is for her daughter to be safe here, with her. I guess she wants to stay in Station now, instead of wherever she was before. Then she asked for help and Aubrey propositioned her and she said yes.

We didn't find out why she showed up all of a sudden-- was she keeping tabs on Outissa from a distance, maybe, and noticed something was wrong?

She came by the apartment while Aubrey was looking for clues. They talked for a bit and then Aubrey convinced Eurydice to get in bed and have sex.

That's pretty much what happened.

>Summary

No. No. You feel dread, creeping over you like the morning rays of the hateful sun, building with each step you take.

If what you fear is true, then you might not even have enough time.

As if in response to your urgency, you come up to the massive structure of the Station Archives. You force yourself to walk with your usual, carefree pace, however. You might still have a chance.

You might still be okay.

It all boils down to two questions:

1. What exactly did Eurydice say the panel that she introduced herself?

2. Do tozols possess any sort of ability to affect reality?

I worry that her brother Khoros has done something to her. Are you her friend? Is my daughter here? Can I speak with her?"

Tozols are capable of manipulating reality via their hands and other such appendages. They strongly resist any form of magic, approaching immunity, however.

You should have taken care of your fifth wall immediately. But you didn't. You were reckless. You were careless. And now that carelessness will be your undoing.

You've always thought of yourself as immortal, untouchable. After all, what can possibly harm a being who is able to shift from 'verse to 'verse at a whim? A being that is made up of the very stuff between realities?

The answer is: a reality anchor.

Normally, exercising your powers in the presence of such an anchor would be fine. Your fifth wall would have protected you. But that moment of contact with an anchor

Amaranth has been obliterated. Outissa's mother tricked her into contacting something that caused her to vanish into oblivion.

>>
No. 835783 ID: 3ce125

Hey, we can't be sure that was Laertes. Remember, XQ was, overall, a work of fiction, and has been compromised by a gaslighter. Any information we have from XQ could be wrong, even Laertes' basic appearance. Better to throw it all out, really. What we DO know is that Outissa's mother is not a good person. She somehow planned out the scenario that led to Amaranth's death. She has likely lied to us via Aubrey and was definitely being manipulative. Amaranth felt that Khoros was not a threat, though, so I agree with talking to him as if he's an ally.

The abductor did look like an adult Noxan wearing a green mask, and spoke in a similar way to the "Laertes" we saw in XQ. Outissa and Beatrix were using a class change orb and an unknown method of travel to get to TYDALOK. Outissa seemed to arrive there but soon got pulled out by Beatrix waking her up, at which point they were contacted by a voice over an intercom and presented with the XQ and ANL doors. Outissa picked the XQ door because the voice said to, and the man with the mask was behind it.

Khoros, how are you nowadays? How can we protect Aubrey from your mother? Would physical violence work? Might be hard to get a suggestion like that through if your mother has the ability to edit our posts. ...also I guess Station would protect her anyways.

He's some Noxan with power over names. I think that's all we really know about him for sure, since Amaranth at least confirmed that. I'll spare you any misinformation we've been fed via XQ, as it might upset you. Suffice it to say he was the antagonist.
It seems obvious now that your mother wants us to think you and Laertes were the same person somehow, but we now know that Noxans only have ONE power so that's impossible. What is your mother's power, exactly?
