Newly feed, newly clothed and newly transformed… life is good right now, even if the night air is a bit on the cold side.

So you’ve dealt with Vivian… permanently and maybe even without consequence, as well as gained her form. That makes two new forms, as you can both become Gev as well as Vivian from now on if the need arises. Now you just need to deal with that guard that was harassing Justina and Danus as well as those ambushers Oran warned you about. That will keep you well feed for a while longer… of course, if ever need a meal, you now have two guards that will do anything you command them to, don’t you?

Oh, and you almost forgot why you’re here in the first place! You need to find out who was behind the destruction of your village… somehow. You really haven’t gotten any closer to that today, have you? You’ll need to try and find more information about it tomorrow.

Then there’s Oran you need to deal with. He might know what you are and needs to be… dealt with. Either in diplomatic ways or more… permanent ways. You just need to make sure he bathes before you make him disappear forever. And then there’s Danus… you kind of ran off on him, didn’t you? You’ll really need to talk to him as well… and Karn. You found his mother locket at Vivian’s place, didn’t you? Oh, and weren’t you supposed to eat Justina at some point or another?

…and then wasn’t there someone asking to meet you at nine at the inn or something? Who might or might not be the strange lady you met at Oran’s shop? Hmm… either way, one thing is for certain… you have a lot of things to do…

…and someone has been following you for the last half minute or so.

:FoodFoS: Why, what is such a strong and handsome lady doing out here in the cold, all alone?
:EmaFoS: Hmm? And who are you?
:FoodFoS: I can be whoever you want me to be, love…

The scantily clad man moves in closer to you, his form emitting a rather warm and welcoming heat, explaining why he hasn’t frozen to death by now in those clothes.

:FoodFoS: …and I’m here to offer you a nice, soft bed for you unwind and relax in…

Leaning over a bit, he makes sure to puff out his well chiseled chest as well as bubble shaped butt to show them off as much as possible. As he does so, you manage to get a whiff of his smell… and he does smell rather tasty. Not as tasty as Vivian or her guards, but tastier than Karn and Justina smells. There’s… also something else… a bitter smell coursing through his blood… a familiar smell, but you can’t place it?

:FoodFoS: …and if you want, I can… hmhm… help you keep it warm for the night… for a minimal fee, of course.

It’s not until he get really close that you notice that’s there something amiss with him. There is a slight miss coloring to his eyes… and they shake a bit as if he had trouble focusing. Not to mention there is a slight shaking to his hands as well, but not from the bitter cold. You also can’t help but feel that there is a hint of desperation in his voice, as if he great need of the coin he is trying to get out of you.

>supposed to eat Justina
No. She is the emergency ration. You're not supposed to eat her, unless you really have to.

>>876093
You just ate, don't be a glutton. Tempting to get his life force in the sexual way but IIRC you get more out of innocents that way, and you can probably get back to Danus fast enough to recover your losses.
Also you really need to ask your swords how frequently you should be eating. You went too long today without a meal, so I'm guessing two people a day is a good number (or one person and some sexual essence) but how much is too much? How many can you eat at once safely?

>bitter smell
It's drugs. Ask him what he's addicted to. Tell him you'll donate a few coins if he goes away, as you've got someone else you're seeking the company of tonight. (it's Danus) Advise him to try to wean himself off of whatever it is he's taking.

Whatever he did, he probably doesn’t have much of a choice. Probably some quota to fill, with severe reprocussions upon failure. And to echo >>876104, he’s probably on something. Ask him the price, pay half of it if only he would tell you how to find his employer, and tell him to scram, because you don’t plan on being a client.

It’s his necklace. That’s how he’s keeping warm. It looks like it’s got a little flame drawn on it.

how much cash do you have on you right now anyways? Cause I'm think we do pay him but not for a night of sharing a bed but simply ask what he knows about the guards in this town. More specifically, does he know anything about a giant red bitch... do we ever get a name off Justina about the guard?

But yeah, the guys eyes are bloodshot, he's either been crying and is desperate for money or on drugs, must likely drugs. So don't eat him since you just ate and I really don't want to see you go on an acid trip right now.

Probably not, BUT he could be from the same family tree. That's really plausible, as any other family members who wanted to move away could follow their brother and badass sister-in-law to this region.

Hm... Eating a prostitute, taking their form then propositioning just the most wicked smelling would be a decent idea, since it'd make it easy to get 'em alone and naked. But don't eat this prostitute. Besides smelling like he's got drugs running through his veins, which would get you high if you devoured him, the addiction he undoubtedly has would probably transfer over if you took his form. He may also have a pimp watching over him, so if he manages to call out for help when you go to eat him or he doesn't come out of the bedroom, they'll get after you. So be on the lookout for a prostitute that isn't a junkie. Or you might be able to dress Gev, or another form you get later, up as a whore.

Tell him you're not in the market for that kind of fun right now, but you've got a bit of coin for him for questions answered. If he agrees, lower your voice and say you want to know where he gets his fix from so you can buy; Yeah, you can tell he uses. He gives up his dealer's location, then you got another potential target for Justice for later.

Having a warming amulet like what he's wearing would be real nice right now, either to wear yourself or as a gift for Danus. Ask how much one of those goes for and where you can get one. Maybe he'll even part with it for the right price.

Oh, and Ema, you forgot a big, important thing you need to do: Get the Swords of Justice back! You can only hope they're safe and sound back at the inn and somebody didn't walk off with them. So no dawdling about! The sooner you get back, the sooner you can get the swords back. Also, the sooner you get back, the more time you'll have to talk with Danus to smooth things over before your nine 'o clock meeting.

>You are not actually taking only their forms, but their personality and memories as well!
You’re not exactly sure what happens to you when you change forms. Vivian’s personality was… intoxicating, to say the least, but when you were Gev the only real different was that you had a real urge to giggle all the time. Was it because Vivian was your first or because she was more headstrong than Gev? Hmm…
>Vivian is real fucked in the head huh?
Yes, yes she is… was. She was.
>Varkians aren't hardcore "Males must be X, females must be Y"…
While Varkian nation are culturally different from ours, she was still living in a society where our culture was the dominant one. No matter what species, our ideals would have affected her.
>Hey, what happened to your precious poncho? I thought you loved that thing and would never take it off?
It’s in the bag for now. You don’t need to wear it, just keep it.

>Justina is the emergency ration. You're not supposed to eat her, unless you really have to.
Oh, right… but still… those juicy, tender fillets looks so… so appetizing…
>Eating a prostitute, taking their form then propositioning just the most wicked smelling would be a decent idea, since it'd make it easy to get 'em alone and naked.
Hmm… maybe you can use Gev for this as well? He might not be the prettiest boy, but he might still be… sellable.
>You just ate, don't be a glutton.
No matter how tasty the food is, you need temperance.
>STOP LOOKING AT PEOPLE LIKE FOOD!
But they are! Well, evil people are, not good ones.

>It’s his necklace. That’s how he’s keeping warm. It looks like it’s got a little flame drawn on it.
That does indeed look like some kind of rune… and you’re pretty sure it’s magical in some way as well.
>This is going to sound incredibly stupid but...is that your dad?!
…of course not. This person cannot be older than you are… and as it’s been ten years since… that happened, your father would be almost sixty by now.
>BUT he could be from the same family tree.
As far as you know, neither your father nor mother had any relatives in this direction.
>Tempting to get his life force in the sexual way.
Mmm… you wouldn’t mind sampling his… wares, no… but not right now. Maybe later.
>He probably smells of the same chemicals Oran smells of, the alchemist has been supplying drugs to some dealers, after all.
No, he doesn’t smell like Oran at all. Oran smells of a lot of different chemicals while he… smells of… hmm… but now that you think about it, you think you smelled this scent at Orans? Maybe?


>Tell him to hurry home because it’s almost time for curfew.
:FoodFoS: Hmhm… don’t worry, dear, there’s more than an hour before the curfew happens. More than enough time for the two of us to… get and now each other a bit better, don’t you think?
>Ask him the price, pay half of it if only he would tell you how to find his employer.
:FoodFoS: Why, you can have me in any way you want for the low price of 20 silver, all the way until dawn. Use my body as you see fit, and enjoy every sensual way I can service you. But my love, I’m a man of my own making. No need to worry about any third party… it’s only the two of us tonight~
>Say you want to know where he gets his fix from so you can buy; Yeah, you can tell he uses.
:FoodFoS: Hmhm… why I would love to sell you a fix, but sadly I’ve run dry for now. You’ll have to find me later and… hmhm… you can drink it from my naked body if you want, handsome…
:EmaFoS: But where do you get it from? Can you tell me that?
:FoodFoS: And lose clients? I don’t think so, love…
>Ask how much one of those necklaces goes for and where you can get one. Maybe he'll even part with it for the right price.
:FoodFoS: This one? It isn’t for sale… but if you have coin, there is a magical shop right across the alchemist that sell them… 75 silver each, so be ready to spend if you wish to have one.

>Ask what he knows about the guards in this town. More specifically, does he know anything about a giant red bitch...
:FoodFoS: Hmhm… and you want to know about this bitch because?
:EmaFoS: She hurt a friend of mine… and was demanding money from the inn.
:FoodFoS: Then it’s the same bitch I was thinking about. But… as you promised, half my price for information?
:EmaFoS: …fine, here is ten silver.
:FoodFoS: Thank you kindly, my handsome friend. Now, you never heard this from me but her name is Terroza, and she is the leader of the guard in this area of the city. While she only has six men under her, she thinks she is untouchable. She demands “protection” money from most male run shops in the area and I… must admit that she usually sample my wares for free as well. I can give you her usual patrol route if you wish… or… I might just be able to… make a private meeting with her, if you want to… hmhm… discuss something in private with her.
:EmaFoS: Hmm…

>How much cash do you have on you right now anyways?
After paying the whore and stealing Vivian’s money bag, you still have over 5o silver lying around. More than enough for most things.
>You really need to ask your swords how frequently you should be eating.
As soon as you get back to… them… err…
:EmaFoS: Ngt!?
:FoodFoS: Hmm? Is something the matter?
>Oh, and Ema, you forgot a big, important thing you need to do: Get the Swords of Justice back!

Can you tell if your swords are being moved or can you only tell that someone is touching them?

Because if can tell where your swords are, then even if that person takes them from the inn, you’ll still be able to find them.

>Who is it?!
Danus because he’d feel bad if someone stole Ema’s swords, so he’s taking them and putting them somewhere safe until Ema comes back. Plus, having Ema’s swords with him will force Ema to come to him so that he can ask her why she suddenly ran off.

Hurry back to him and quickly ask if Terroza vanished would there be anyone who'd care enough to really investigate it. Then tell him you want him to arrange that private meeting with Terroza tomorrow, preferably earlier rather than later in the day, but you can work with whatever time he can get. Also tell him you'll be sending a associate of yours instead, a vark guy, and give him a physical description of Gev. Say your associate will get the job done, just as long as Terroza is totally alone, at least out of her armor and preferably where she won't see him coming. Tell him to leave a sealed note for you at the front desk of The Raptor's Nest with the time and place of the meeting.

Now, get back to the inn ASAP. You have a meeting at nine 'o clock, remember?

And my choice for who is fondling Ema's swords is Danus.

...So, you get sexually excited when another handles your swords? ...Heh. Imagine Danus polishing the length of one of them with long, slow strokes, while Karn does the same for the other blade. Does that get your motor running, Ema?

Yeah, asking if Terroza will be missed and then asking for an arranged private meeting with her doesn’t sound suspicious at all.

This guy’s a random prostitute, I wouldn’t trust him to not tell Terroza about that.

Also, I highly doubt he could arrange a private meeting with Terroza, since he’s just a prostitute. Him saying that is probably just his way of trying to get us to give him more money by saying what we want to hear.

He's also a prostitute that Terroza has been extorting free sex out of and possibly drugs too and pretty likely wouldn't mind her getting disappeared. But, hell, we'll do it your way, since according to you he can't be trusted at all, is lying about everything and will rat Ema out for a copper from Terroza.

Ema, tell him to write down Terroza's patrol route in a sealed letter and leave it for you at the front desk of The Raptor's Nest. The plan is to get a slutty outfit for Gev, apply whore-y makeup and act like a newbie prostitute somewhere on the seeder side of Terroza's route. She'll likely jump on the "fresh meat" and once you've got her in private and out of her armor it'll be easy to touch her head and paralyze her. You'll need a private place with a bed, though, and all the inns are full up due to the festival. Maybe you could rent some hole-in-the-wall apartment with just the first month's rent. Or maybe Terroza takes the prostitutes back to her place. That'd make sense since she wouldn't trust them not to arrange for someone to jump her once they're in private. Ask the guy where Terroza would take the prostitutes she extorts sex out of; Her place, their places, or another place like a inn.

Oran.

As for the prostitute, I think arranging anything as Emma is too risky. Yell something about asking where he can be found in the morning, and how a friend was asking about wanting to do stuff to the bitch, so she wants him to decide. Maybe even name-drop Gev as the friend.

Tell him that he didn't scare you, you just got really nervus, and then you forgot you had an apointment, and you panicked and got worry that you would be late, and then you felt bad for leaving like that.
But now you took care off that business and it went well, but then you forgot about your swords and you got REALLY WORRIED about them. But since Danus has them is ok, becouse you trust him.
Tell him that you know that Karn knows about weapon maintenance, but you are asking him instead, becouse you want to ask HIM and not Karn.

Well, sword fetish is go I guess. He really is good though, too good in all the right ways. In all fairness if it has to be anyone I'm okay with the cute grump. He's very good with his hands ain't he? Very hands on kinda guy,... Great technique too, he's awfully dexterous to boot. You can always trust him to handle your swords with the utmost care and passion.

Oh right, excuses. Kinda need one of those. UUUUUUUUH-

Take a deep, calming breath, letting Danus' wonderful scent fill and relax your mind.

"I'm okay. And you definitely didn't scare me away. That dance was wondrous, and your kiss was... was... glorious. And... And you're such a good man. And that's was the thing. Midway through that kiss my thoughts suddenly turned to you being too good for me. That you deserve someone better. ...So when I opened my eyes and saw a clock and that I'd totally lost track of time and was about to be late to a meeting I couldn't miss, my feelings collided and I overreacted. I'm so sorry for pushing you away, Danus.

Halfway down the block, I was totally embarrassed at what I'd done and was mentally kicking myself through the meeting and anguishing over how I could show my face here after that. I went to the clothes store afterwards partly to give myself time to think what to do and partly to delay having to come back here and face what I'd done. I was so wrapped up in my own head that I didn't realize I'd left my swords behind until I was picking a outfit. That kicked me out of mentally chasing my own tail with worry and I ran all the way back here.

I'm sorry for running off and making a scene and causing you to worry. Are you okay? ...Are we okay?"

Now that Ema is within range of the swords, she can start thinking questions at them and hopefully they’ll give her answers.

Let’s ask the swords if they’re enjoying the feeling of getting cleaned and ask why Ema feels weird when they’re being cleaned?

Then ask the more important questions like how frequently Ema should be eating, how much is too much, and how many can she eat at once safely?

>Oh, I…I don’t think I’m the right person to ask, lass. Maybe you should talk to Karn about that.
“I know, but I’d rather ask you”

>Now, where have you been, Ema? You seem completely out of breath…and the way you just ran off like that I…I have to admit I was worried I scared you away. Are you alright, lass?

This.

Did I just admit to wanting to spend the night? Ignore that! I’m not good... words!

No. 876525 ID: eeb7d9

Wait, hold on. Didn't Justina use some kind of magic so your clothes wouldn't look all ragged and old? That would make these excuses about getting new clothes sound pointless. If he was affected by her magic, he wouldn't have noticed about it anyway. That is what we planed.
What i am saying is that buying clothes can't be the main excuse here. We can point it out, but it should be something diferent.

>Can you pull off a nervous virgin, Ema?
Considering you are a nervous virgin…
>Well, sword fetish is go I guess.
You’re not getting off like that from him stroking your blade! It’s more like… him stroking your tail… very tenderly… and softly…
>Take a deep, calming breath, letting Danus' wonderful scent fill and relax your mind.
You let that sweet smell of his fill your mind… and suddenly you feel just a bit more relaxed and safe.

>Ask the swords if they’re enjoying the feeling of getting cleaned?
:SwordFoS: To properly maintain us is an important duty you need to do regularly. Letting us fall into disarray would be just as bad as starving yourself.
:EmaFoS: (…but do you enjoy it?)
:SwordFoS:
:EmaFoS: (…I’m not sure if you aren’t answering because you don’t want to… or because you can’t.)
>Ask why Ema feels weird when they’re being cleaned?
:SwordFoS: The swords are part of you… in fact, the shape you are currently in is less a part of you than the swords are.
>Then ask the more important questions like how frequently Ema should be eating, how much is too much, and how many can she eat at once safely?
:SwordFoS: I cannot say. There are so many factors, from whom you eat, to how hungry you were or even how used you are to feeding.
:EmaFoS: (…so, how frequently do I need to eat right now?)
:SwordFoS: Temperance is a virtue. Show restraint… and listen to your body. Is it actual hunger… or just gluttony? Only you can really tell.


:EmaFoS: I’m f-fine… okay, I’m okay. No, you didn’t scare me away or… or… I was just late t-to a very important meeting and… um…
:DanusFoS: Ah, so our dance made you lose track of time, lass?
:EmaFoS: Y-yes, exactly! The dance was just so wonderful and… a-and the kiss and… um… sorry for pushing you away, Danus.
:DanusFoS: Don’t worry about it, Ema, I understand. Though, next time, maybe spare a few seconds and explain what is going on. As I said, I was worried for you, lass.
:EmaFoS: S-sorry…
:DanusFoS: Don’t.

:EmaFoS: So… about taking care of my swords…
:DanusFoS: I told you, speak to Karn about it. He knows far more than I do about the subject.
:EmaFoS: But… I… I want y-you to… teach me… not Karn…
:DanusFoS: …hmm? *Sigh* Very well, I’ll see what I can teach you, lass… but I’d rather see you speak to Karn about it, as I’m not a very good teacher on the subject.

He gets up from the chair he was using and motion for you to use it.

:EmaFoS: So… where do I even start?
:DanusFoS: You start by actually wiping it off RIGHT AFTER you’ve used it, so the dirt doesn’t have TIME to DRY and get STUCK.
:EmaFoS: S-sorry…
:DanusFoS: *grumble* I don’t know what manner of beast you used this thing on, but I almost gave up trying to get off the dried blood from it.
:EmaFoS: Err… I owe you one?
:DanusFoS: I’m not going to be so juvenile as to demand favors for favors. As I say to my son, you don’t need a reason to do a good deed. Now sit down, be quiet and learn.
:EmaFoS: Y-yes sir?
:DanusFoS: Here, start by actually checking in what condition your sword is in by...

What follows is several minutes of basic weapon care, as Danus show you how to take care off and maintain your blades properly. As you learn about the importance of keeping them clean and sharp, he notes that they can’t have been properly maintained for years, yet their edge is still fine enough for them to seem newly sharpened.

…he also touches your hand… *Shudder*

:EmaFoS: T-that wasn’t too h-hard.
:DanusFoS: As I said, it’s just the basics. Enough for a innkeeper to get by but if you’re going to be a certified adventurer you’ll need more than this.
:EmaFoS: Thank you for teaching me, Danus.
:DanusFoS: Don’t mention it, Ema… now… I can’t help but notice that you’ve had a change of clothes?
:EmaFoS: Oh, that… um… well, my old clothes was barely being kept together and I wanted a better chance at spending the night with y- I mean, I didn’t want people to think I was a beggar or something?
:DanusFoS: Hmm… indeed, your old clothes were a bit on the worn side, I agree… though I barely noticed their well-used state when we danced, though.
:EmaFoS: Haha... err… I mean… so… … …um… …do y-you… l-like them? My outfit, I mean?
:DanusFoS: I do say that I liked the old colors better, but it’s good to see you without that poncho covering up most of you.
:EmaFoS: Oh… r-right…
:DanusFoS: But speaking of spending the night…
:EmaFoS: EH!? I didn’t m-mean it l-like-
:DanusFoS: Have you found somewhere to stay for the night?
:EmaFoS: Huh? Oh… um… no… no I haven’t.
:DanusFoS: Because the room you slept in last night is occupied by a group of rather rowdy guests that will probably be there long into the night.
:EmaFoS: Oh… so… um… you don’t have a bed for me, then?
:DanusFoS: Hmm… not at the moment, no. But let me think about it and I might come up with something.
:EmaFoS: So…
:DanusFoS: …yes?
:EmaFoS: … … …do you want to continue where we left off?
:DanusFoS: …and where did we left off?

>It may be time to explain your situation to him. If anyone can be trusted with it, it's Danus.

Before you get totally engrossed with Danus, glance at the clock. Remember, you have a meeting at nine, so don't lose track of time.

Stand up, offer your hand to Danus to stand too, looking him longingly in the eyes. "At the end of a beautiful dance," draw him close, "with a wonderful kiss," and lean in to kiss him.

>Because the room you slept in last night is occupied by a group of rather rowdy guests that will probably be there long into the night.
Ah, so that's where Justina was going with those two sakkilian guys while you were talking with Drago. Well, if Danus does come up with a better place for you, that means you can rest in her bed at least until she returns, then crash in the smoking lounge since the party has probably dispersed by then. And if she ends up spending the night in another guest's bed, then you'll have hers until morning.

…wait, you mean they are going to do it on a tiny, hard surfaced wooden sofa instead of a bed? Why? No, you’re pretty sure she went with those young boys somewhere a bit more… suitable for her plans.
>Get him drunk.
Hmm… nah… you’d rather have him sober. You want him, not some drunkard.
>Give Vivi a turn. Let him polish her dick.
You have no idea if he is into that… or what he’ll do if he sees you transform. You might need to keep the real you secret for just a while longer.
>Also measure it.
That on the other hand… err… f-for science, of course. Maybe you can get Oran to… hmm… either way, you’ll want to… experiment with your other shapes a bit when you get the time.

>Now that we’ve eaten recently, we should be able to bed him without... any problems. No problems that our experienced partner can’t deal with, at least.

>Don't rush it with Danus, take it easy, like a proper woman.
A proper lady would have taken him out for dinner before going to a dance and kissing him. But you’re right, Danus deserve a proper woman. Maybe you should go buy some flowers or chocolate for him? T-that’s what a proper woman is supposed to do, r-right?


>Wag your tail and say, “With the kiss.”
:DanusFoS: Whoa there, lass, take it easy with that tail.
:EmaFoS: S-sorr-ah!?
He suddenly comes up behind you and start nuzzling against your neck.
:DanusFoS: I would love nothing more than continue from there, Ema…
:EmaFoS: Y-yes!?
You can hear him give of a slight sigh as he move away from you, but not before he plants a small kiss on the side of your snout.

Heeding his advice, you grab your swords and hurry out to the main hall of the inn, looking for someone, anyone who would fit Danus description. What was it he said again? It was a lanky fellow in a green cloak with a brown hood, wearing some kind of mask? You guess that strange lady you met at Oran would fit that description, minus the mask part… and fellow part… you guess you’ll just need to look around a bit more to find them.

You manage to spot someone matching Danus description, or at least someone lanky that’s wearing a green cloak with a brown cowl. Apparently, you’re a bit late as they are just about to leave. You better hurry if you want to catch up with them and… wait…

There’s another one, wearing the exact same cloak as the one leaving. This one is sitting alone in the corner of the inn with its back towards you… seemingly waiting for something? Which one is the one who asked to meet with you here at nine?

So… which one do you go after, the one that’s about to leave or the one that’s waiting for someone in the corner? Both of them can’t be the one that talked to Danus.

It's not that long after nine, is it? You'd think that they would be patient enough to wait a few minutes before leaving, but then again you don't know 'em or their deal, so you can't say. Since you don't have a clue which one it is, intercept the one about to leave. You get it wrong then the other one will still be waiting inside.

Give the one about to leave a "hey" as you walk towards them to get their attention. When they look back ask if they're the one who sent you a message to meet here at nine.

Hmm… if the masked person Danus saw wasn’t the hybrid, that would make sense. Wait, are we even sure she was a hybrid? It did look like she had feathers hidden under her cloak, sure, but aren’t hybrids just a myth?
>Try to smell the two of them from the distance, if you can.
You need to get closer to smell them… a lot closer thanks to all the other people that are at the inn.

Rushing after it, you can see the figure dart into an alleyway right as you leave the inn. It was almost as it waited for you to catch up, so that you would see where it went. Does it want you to follow it? There’s clearly something wrong here… this is clearly some kind of trap yet…

You can’t do anything but follow it. You need to know what happened back there, ten years ago… and Hugo… or whoever it is that’s wearing his mask, is the only real lead you got. You can’t let it get away from you. You can only ready your blade and mind for whatever is to come as you follow it into the backstreets…

…but as you enter, you find nothing but a dead end.

Tell him/her/it that you don’t know how you’re alive. Because I really don’t think you should tell him/her/it about you being some kind of undead, since we don’t exactly know if they can be trusted to keep that a secret.

>Suggestions saying this is the plant guy that killed Ema.
It could be that guy. And if it is, then Ema, you should not attack him!

Remember what your swords said, “Slaughter the guilty, but don’t let your hunger and rage dictate who you are, or you’ll be just as guilty as your prey.” and “Seek redemption and forgiveness and your innocence will be returned.”

Which means that if this is the guy that killed you, he sounds like he regrets what he’s done and he’s wanting to repent for what he’s done and could be seeking forgiveness. That means that he could’ve regained his be innocence now, which means that you can’t kill or eat him!

If this guy is somehow not one of your main targets, then tell him you need some assurance of good will if you are to tell him anything. ...heck, this could be an ambush location, there could be people hiding with crossbows. You might want to run away even if this is a main target.

It's the one who killed you ten years ago, back in the shrine in Dalriver. But before you flip your shit and charge in to exact blind vengeance, consider that it says it felt years of lament for killing you. That it was its "greatest failure." So get a big sniff of it before you do anything; Smell if it's wicked or not. Also, if it had not killed you there, in the shrine, the two others blocking the doorway certainly would have, probably followed by killing this one for not killing you. Oh, and if another of this ones' ilk had killed you, your soul would have been sucked up by 'em like the other residents of Dalriver were. That said, it still killed you, and you don't know who or what it is or what its motives are or who it answers to or is controlled by, so you're not gonna tell it anything.

Tell it that after what it did, you're not tradin' jack shit with it. If anything, it owes you. So it starts talkin', or you start walkin'. And take your dead friend's mask off while it does so. ...Fuckin' creeper.

Take a look at its cloak clasp. Does it have the corn sheaf pin like it did before, ten years ago?

>When the two lonely protons in your brains finally collide, it might result in anger and violence.
It's "neurons," not "protons." Protons are light, neurons are brain cells. So it attempted to call you a dimwit and ironically failed by using the wrong word.

And how exactly do you propose Ema cut this armored weed down? Ramming a sword through its helmet didn't work, so it doesn't have any vitals up there. Treat it like a undead and stab it through the chest where its core is? What if it doesn't have a vital spot there? What if it's somewhere totally unexpected, or it doesn't have a vital spot at all? Because she'll get cut down like she was in Dalriver if she gets it wrong.

>Now that you’re closer to him/her/it, try smelling them.
…you can’t smell anything. Either they are too far away or… or they simply don’t smell!?
>Take a look at its cloak clasp. Does it have the corn sheaf pin like it did before, ten years ago?
You have no idea where it is, so you have no idea what it is wearing right now.
>It's "neurons," not "protons."
...you have no idea what any of those words means.

>...wait wouldn't you be able to tell if this one was a main target of your ire?
You can feel that the one you hunt is here somewhere in the city… but if this is the one, you cannot tell.
>You already know who they are. They are the one that KILLED you.
There are many things that points to that conclusion, yet…
>And if it is, then Ema, you should not attack him! if this is the guy that killed you, he sounds like he regrets what he’s done and he’s wanting to repent.
“Seek redemption and forgiveness and your innocence will be returned.”… If it is like the sword told you, then maybe it has redeemed itself? Or… at least trying to? It did say it was its greatest failure.


>You wanted to talk to me, spooky man. I don't owe you anything.
:MaskedFoS: Nor do I owe you anything either. I wanted to simply know if you were the one I met before. Now that I do, I have no other reason to speak to you but simple curiosity. You on the other hand… you are looking for answers, do you not?
:EmaFoS: …and you have them?
:MaskedFoS: If the question is what I think they will be… then yes, yes I might.
:EmaFoS: …ffffffine.
>Tell him you need some assurance of good will if you are to tell him anything.
:MaskedFoS: … … …sadly, all I can give you is my word, which I believe is rather low valued with your kind.
:EmaFoS: ...then I simply have to accept it, as I need answers.

>I'm not alive, I've been dead since a bunch of creeps decided to kill me and everyone I knew.
:MaskedFoS: Yet, here you stand, hmm? What makes you so different from the others that died? But of course, it’s rather obvious, isn’t it? I did let your soul go free, to enter whatever afterlife awaits your kind… but instead, you sought rage and pain, all to remain here.
:EmaFoS: So you really are…
:MaskedFoS: I was weak. Back then, I convinced myself that I didn’t have choice, but I know better now. I was indeed the one that plunged the blade through your skull, bringing an end to your story… or so I thought. If I’d known that you would have been cursed by a fate far worse than death, I would probably considered my options further. As of now… I… I don’t I have it in me to end your agony, but I believe I might be able to help you finally reach oblivion…?
:EmaFoS: I’m not here to seek oblivion, you twit.
:MaskedFoS: Hmm? Really? Interesting. The dead that walk again I’ve met so far has always been in pain and agony, seeking but one thing. Release.
:EmaFoS: Well, I’m not one of them.
:MaskedFoS: Then… in the end, it might not have been pointless after all. If I hadn’t lifted my blade to you, one of my brethren would, and they wouldn’t leave your soul to be free. No, even if my deed only delayed my just punishment for a while, it did give you a chance to… come back, did it not?
:EmaFoS: …you still killed me.
:MaskedFoS: I cannot deny that, no. But if you’re not here to seek release, then why are you here?

>I'm here to deliver Justice.
:MaskedFoS: …Justice? …and for what are you seeking Justice? Your death?
:EmaFoS: For the slaughter of an innocent village!
:MaskedFoS: … … …innocent? Do you honestly believe your kind can be innocent?
:EmaFoS: ...and what have we ever done to you, pray tell? Why don’t you think we are incapable of being innocent? What have we-
:MaskedFoS: You destroyed my kind, stole our purpose of existence and perverted it beyond recognition. What a fool you are, believing that your action would not brought with it our fury. What a grand and intoxicating innocence, to show such nativity for the consequences of your action… but, you are like the rest of your kind… just mortal. It understandable that your simple mind do not understand what you have wrought.
:EmaFoS: …what?
:MaskedFoS: As shown, you don’t even understand what you have done. No, what you seek is not Justice, it is vengeance. A never ending cycle of vengeance, spanning centuries. As you take life, so will those in the future. Your action will have consequences… just as ours had… and yours before that.
:EmaFoS: You sought vengeance!? For what!?
:MaskedFoS: For taking the one thing we craved. Our purpose. No, I would implore you not to continue following your rage, but I understand if you won’t listen. I do not ask for your forgiveness for my past wrong doings, I simply ask you to consider your actions. The only way you can do to stop a cycle of revenge is to put down your blade like I have done, even if it means exile and death.
:EmaFoS: …you really like to blabber on, don’t you? I don’t think you really have given me any answers I needed, either.

:MaskedFoS: …very well, I will give you something. My name is Yate.
:EmaFoS: That doesn’t really-
:MaskedFoS: And while you were the only one back then that came back from the dead, you weren’t the only survivor.
:EmaFoS: …what? Someone else… survived!? Who!? Where!?
:MaskedFoS: The library will hold answers to those questions, if you can find them. Now… is there something else, or is our reunion over?

There is something else.

How can someone commit a sin without even knowing what it is? I bet none of the people in your village knew about whatever bad thing happened to his people. Also, his people deemed you worthy of being killed without even giving you a chance to atone. Both those things are important for your definition of Justice. First, one must be aware of the sin being committed, and actually commit it themselves instead of merely inheriting it. Second, sins can be forgiven if the person atones.
Yes, failing to stop an atrocity while having knowledge of it and opportunity to stop it would be considered a sin. Again, didn't apply to your village.

He can try twist the definitions of vengeance and justice all he wants, but he will continue to be wrong.

This is a great working definition of Justice, but you're missing something. It is true that sin cannot be justly inherited, but great acts of injustice can leave wounds. Wounds that left untreated could harm too many innocent of the crime itself. He seems to understand at least this.

But even if your village was guilty of what he says, which you DO NOT agree with, he is wrong simply because he has clearly given up on justice and on life. As far as you can see, he is a coward that likes to hide away in a forgotten little corner rather than take steps to correct, truly correct, an injustice that's as great as he says it is.

Don't be a coward like him. You should to promise to him, for what its' worth, that you will make right whatever injustice that's in front of you, starting with both yours and his.

Ask Yate when and what made it stop doing what it's fellow kind were and are doing. From where did the germ of the thought to stay its hand and break the cycle of vengeance come from, and what was that germ?

Ask it what could convince the others of its kind to stop killing all mortals and imprisoning their souls? Even just a few, or one, of them? What could you, or it, or anyone possibly say or do to change their minds and stay their hands? But if there is nothing that will sway any of them, no argument or reasoning, no act by mortal or other, then you can't just lay down your swords and stand by while they kill everyone.

Look up at the rooftop on your left before you leave. Is there someone sitting up on its peak, in front of the moon? I see you up there, Chronicler. Here to observe yet another of you and your brother's champions in the campaign against the Forgotten One, hm?

“... You are right, in that vengeance might not be the answer. However, I cannot abide your people if they plan to continue their own vengeance without reconsideration nor repentance. For while I may not embody Justice as I desired, this is still something I strive for. Perhaps you may live, if you truly regret and are not simply running from the consequences. I on the other hand, am not like you. Rather than secluding myself from the sins of myself and those around me, I will strive to set them right.

No. 877927 ID: eeb7d9

When they say "your kind", are they talking about the Sakkilians? I doubt that a village like yours could do anything evil to anyone... But the swords... Why were there in the first place? Who were the previous owner? And what are THEY? They didn't die either when you stricke them with your sword.
You are still in the dark about many things, and the swords are the key. You can't exact justice if you don't understand what the crime was. This is biger that we thought. We need to find out what this "cicle of vengance" is and put an stop to it. If not it contine and the sufering will never end, nor for you, nor for those that will come later.
But i am sure about this, letting this thing end like this is not the answer. We have to carry on and end it properly. They can exile themselfs like a coward and don't take responsability, but you don't.

...there is a robed figure sitting there, wearing a mask… the mask of a friend. No wonder you weren’t able to spot Yate before if he was hiding on the roof.


>YOU, came to ME, and unless I am to believe you sought me out just to insult me, you better spill the beans.

:EmaFoS: Why won’t you just tell me what happened, you cryptic asshole!?
:MaskedFoS: Because I don’t like you… and I like you even less after speaking with you for a few minutes.
>Ah yes, the farm town stole some peoples purpose and as a result they get to claim justice.
:MaskedFoS: Once again you refuse to listen. I said that both side where fools consumed by vengeance and nothing more. There is no Justice here. Not anymore.

>How can someone commit a sin without even knowing what it is?

:EmaFoS: I didn’t!
:MaskedFoS: Try and convince my brethren that.
>His people deemed you worthy of being killed without even giving you a chance to atone.
:MaskedFoS: The first time we reached out our hand with good intentions, you repaid us by snuffing out our future, all thanks to your alien ways. My brethren decided to not make that mistake again.
>I cannot abide your people if they plan to continue their own vengeance without reconsideration nor repentance.
:MaskedFoS: And I will not stop you. All I want you to know is that your action will have consequences, good or ill.

>What are THEY? They didn't die either when you attacked them with your sword.
:MaskedFoS: We are… your creation. Your children long forgotten. I believe your original word for us has been long lost, but you are the ones who gave us life and purpose… only to so cruelly take it away.
>What have you done with the souls of my friends and family?
:MaskedFoS: They are trying to rebuild what was ruined, but so far they haven’t had any luck. Do not fret, as the souls of your kin will have passed on to whatever afterlife that awaits them by now.
>Ask Yate when and what made it stop doing what its fellow kind were and are doing.
:MaskedFoS: I have always been… defective, ever since I took my first steps. But, I believe you got it wrong… I didn’t stop, I simply didn’t follow them into the abyss in our darkness hour. Your brutality and lust for blood is… infectious, after all.

:EmaFoS: Didn’t you say you were defective?
:MaskedFoS: Indeed… hmm… but very well, if you truly want to end the cycle of vengeance… then find and bring back what was taken from us. Or at least, what is left of it.
:EmaFoS: …and that is?
:MaskedFoS: Three identical, mythical stones, which is very treasured by our kind.
:EmaFoS: Stones? What do they do?
:MaskedFoS: I do not trust you enough to tell you that. What I can do is putting you on the right track. Not far to the north, just outside the city there is a small herbalist cabin. The owner of that cabin has both drawings and descriptions of the stones… as well as some ideas on where they might be. She’s been… helping me trying to find them.

:MaskedFoS: Do you know why I was exiled from my kin?
:EmaFoS: …you let someone run away from Dalriver?
:MaskedFoS: Because I can do something so… so alien and… and inconceivable that it would drive the lesser minded of my brethren to madness. A concept so twisted and corrupt we did not have a word for it before we met your kind. I can lie.
:EmaFoS: So they survived because you lied?
:MaskedFoS: Yes.
>They can exile themselves like a coward and don't take responsibility, but you don't.
You can actually see Yate rile back a bit as you call him a coward. Obviously, it had some effect on him.
:MaskedFoS: I did not chose exile… and I did not run away. Not yet… no… not… not yet…

>Let him know that while you don't seek vengeance against those who seek forgiveness like him, you also won't be able to immediately forgive such actions.

:EmaFoS: Now, I don’t have time for any more of your cryptic bullshit…
:MaskedFoS: If you pursue the stones, then I’m sure we’ll met again. Oh, but there was one more thing…
:EmaFoS: Hmm? What cryptic message do you have for me now?

Suddenly, Hugo’s mask is right in front of you, being held there by a couple of vines extruding from Yate.

:MaskedFoS: This belonged to someone you knew, did it not?
:EmaFoS: Hugo…
:MaskedFoS: I don’t know what, exactly, your kind does to honor the dead, but I’m sure this Hugo rather you have the mask than me. Now, I need to leave as well. Goodbye, blue one.

Given their "Alien" ways, I honestly wonder if there's anything truly to atone for within your own culture given how easily they seem to not even understand the idea that people can have different idea's and understanding from each other.

They seem like a semi-hive mind that can only understand that they're way is the only way and individuality doesn't seem to come too much to them if they can assign blame from the mother to the child.

If she wasn't drunk and you hadn't already set in motion things with Danus, you'd be all for accepting a drink from this mysterious gal who's coming on to you. As is, it wouldn't feel right to leave Danus doing all that work while you accept a drink, sit about and get chatty with this lady. Especially since Danus will see you do so, and after you so obviously wanted to pick up where you two left off. ...But you don't want to let this gal down with a hard "no" either.

Tell her that ordinarily you would, but you already planned to help the innkeeper clean up and close up for the night. Say he kindly gave you a place to stay when you had nowhere else to go and you're returning the kindness. Though, you would take her up on that drink another time. One when she's sober so you two'd be on a even level. ...Actually, you'll get her a large cup of water to drink so she won't have quite so horrid a hangover tomorrow morning. You hope she isn't going to keep drinking alone this evening, or at all.

Ask her her name, if she's staying at this inn or elsewhere and when and where you could meet her again. Also point out that her hood slipped back a bit on the sides and is, uh, revealing certain exotic things you suspect she intended to keep private. Then wish her well and go aid Danus, but as you do that occasionally check what this gal is doing while she's still downstairs.

Oh, and also make sure to put Hugo's mask in your bag ASAP so you don't have to make up excuses for having a cracked festival mask for a human if someone asks about it.

As nice as it would be I see no chance of a long term relationship with Danus and I think that's what he's after, not just a quick fuck. Though that doesn't rule out a short term relationship.
I'm still in camp Snek but I say go with this creature, if not for sex then for information.

>Do you think your swords are tech and don't realize it?
What is tech? You mean magical? Of course they are magical. A non-magical sword wouldn’t talk, no matter how good the smith was at making it.

You find Danus cleaning up the tables after the guests. He visible lightens up as he sees you approach, his usual frown being replaced with a big smile.

:EmaFoS: Do you need help?
:DanusFoS: Hmm? Oh, Ema, you’re back. Seeing that I can’t offer a bed, lass, I can’t really give you anything for helping me.
:EmaFoS: Wasn’t it you who said you don’t need a reason to do a good deed?
:DanusFoS: Ah, yes… I did, didn’t I? Well... um... actually...

He puts on a very sheepish smile as he scratches the back of his head…

All the sudden his demure changes for the worse. The smile is gone, replaced if a sad looking frown, and all the energy seems to be drained from him as he sags together a bit.

:DanusFoS: I… I must apologize, I’ve… I’ve been untruthful.

Barely hold back a grin that Danus wants to share his bed with you but be totally betrayed by your tail flipping out. Pull together enough composure to say it's good he came clean and you're glad he did. Even though... Um... Lean in to his ear a bit and softly, nervously add that you wanted to share his bed too. Then break into a nervous smile and say you forgive him for lying to you, and you'll take him up on his offer of his bed.

That Danus went against his honest, pure nature so much as to deceive you tells you just how much he desires share a bed with you. You'll gladly oblige him.

Hey, did you notice that Danus has a few verbal mannerisms that sound similar to the way Athena speaks? Maybe he came from farther north when he was real young or his parents moved down here from up there before he was born. Something to ask him at a better time.

>Birth defect. It’s a birth defect, nothing more.
<sarcasm>Riiiiiight, and you're the Empress of Occidavia.</sarcasm> Yet another thing to look up when you visit the library: "Feathered sakkilians," cross-referenced with sakkilian birth defects and/or the Risavian region.

Though, since Athena felt she didn't need to keep her hood up to hide her feathers, that makes you wonder why she was in the market for long-lasting transformation potions. If they weren't so she could walk about without wearing that concealing getup, then why else? Is she up to something where she needs to move about in disguise?

Upon further thought, you ought to rein in your expectations and enthusiasm for what Danus meant by offering to share his bed with him. He's rather reserved, so it's somewhat better than even odds he meant sharing a bed in the literal sense rather than in the sexual sense. But even if his offer was for the former, it's pretty sure he desires it'd be the latter. If that's the case, he probably couldn't bring himself to rush things, but he still wanted to have the feeling of warm company with him in bed. So don't be upset if it turns out to be that, respect what he wants and don't push him, okay.

She is odd, yes… but what she is isn’t really important, is it? You guess you can check just to sate your curiosity…
>Though, since Athena felt she didn't need to keep her hood up to hide her feathers, that makes you wonder why she was in the market for long-lasting transformation potions.
She is also a bit drunk right now, so it’s possible she isn’t thinking completely straight. For all you know, she might want to hide herself, but the spirits in her blood told her otherwise.

Your thoughts are interrupted as your tail smashes hard into a nearby table, knocking over an empty mug. With a quick moment, you manage to catch it before it hits the floor, but you’re barely able to give Danus a sheepish grin before you feel your tail tip over a nearby chair. Danus simply watches in silence as the chair finish its short journey to the floor before he looks over to you with a raised eyebrow.

Hug Danus close to steady yourself and curl your tail tight around his back to keep it from knocking over anything more. Gently brush a hand across the frills at the nape of his neck. Breathe deeply of his wonderful scent and try to calm your heart slightly before it hammers its way out of your chest.

You want all he said, in that order. All that and more. To go slow so you're not totally consumed with burning anticipation and desire and the nervousness of your first time. To strip each other to your skivvies, soaking up the vision of the other's nearly naked form. To snuggle and feel mutual warmth until you're comfortable with each other. To entwine your tails. To dispense with your skivvies when your nerves have calmed somewhat. To kiss deeply and feel over each other. To run your hand over his frills. To each run your hands over the other and discover each other's pleasurable spots. To explore each other. To kiss him all over and he you. To wish you knew how to pleasure him with your tongue as good as he knows with you, and perhaps practice and start to learn. To feel him inside you (in the sexual way, not the other one.) To embrace and move and feel in concert. You want it all!

But as much or more than all of that, you want to give him pleasure and joy in as much as he would for you. You want to do what he wants too. You want to give him his desires. You want to, and you wish you were experienced. You wish you knew what to do to give him all that he wants in bed. What he deserves in bed. But you'll do your best all the same, and you'll listen to him and do what he wants and learn.

Whisper to him to ask if he would like to be swept off his feet, right here in front of everyone, carried off to his bedroom and laid on his bed.

Oh, and don't forget the swords again! Double-check you have 'em before going to Danus' bedroom.

Or accidentally dropping Danus and/or tripping and falling on him.

Also, even though you're sterile now and don't technically need it, it's very important for Danus' peace of mind that you remember to take a dose of bitterweed before you lay with him. That's because if he forgot about it in the heat of the moment or because it's been so long since he's had to worry about such things, and then you forgot as well, he'd agonize afterward that he may have gotten you pregnant once he realizes he forgot.

Undead are considered dangerous monsters while hybrids are just… myths. There’s a difference.

You’re not sure you can actually decide what you learn from them, but you can try? You do really need to meditate with them, though.

>Also, even though you're sterile now and don't technically need it, it's very important for Danus' peace of mind that you remember to take a dose of bitterweed before you lay with him.
Justina did give you a few leaves to use, which you still have in your pocket. You’ll simply need to eat them before or just after your… copulation. Danus would probably prefer before.
>Oh, and don't forget the swords again! Double-check you have 'em before going to Danus' bedroom.

You put a finger under his snout as you guide towards yours. It’s not as long or deep as the one after the dance, but it’s enough for you to feel his heart going just as crazy as yours.
:DanusFoS: W-well… that’s a start…
>Reach behind him and cup his ass with a wry smile.
Letting your hand wander downwards a bit, you find your prize and grab it without hesitation. As you do so you can’t help but smirk a bit as Danus makes a cute yipping sounds while jumping a bit in surprise. You did expect him to be a bit… firmer, though…
:DanusFoS: Whoa… um… maybe we should take this s-somewhere a bit more… private?

:DanusFoS: Heh… while I appreciate the thought, maybe it’s for the best if we just walked to my room instead? Here, come with me.

Taking your hand, he leads you to the room where you found him polishing you blades earlier… but when you arrive, you can see his spirit vain a bit and some of his excitement disappearing. You take this moment to put away your swords before walking up behind him, engulfing him in a tight hug and curling your tail around him. Letting out a slight purr, you gently brush a hand across his neck frills before letting them wander over to the top of his snout… but the only reply you get from him is a deep sigh…

:EmaFoS: Is s-something w-wrong? I… I just want t-to do what… w-what you want… t-to give w-what you… you… y-y-you desire…

Tell him that sort of selfless, pure-hearted mindset is exactly why you want him so bad. It doesn't matter that he's older than you, or that he's a bit soft around the edges. You think he's handsome on the outside, and just amazing on the inside.

He is experienced enough that he has been hurt before so he could be making up an excuse to avoid his feelings. But let's take it at face value. Maybe matching his vulnerability with your own would help and loosen him up.

Bring up the massacre of your village, it was at the start of the festival ten years ago. Yet you feel as if it were a mere few days fresh, thinking about what you could have done differently. What if you decided to run to warn your village instead of to hide?
Tell him that you want to, NEED to, feel less alone since the start of the festival. But you can handle being rejected for the night.*
Yet, you should live from now on with no more regrets. Ask him if he feels the same and if the two of you could feel less alone together, if only for the festival.

Loosen your hug enough to move around to face Danus and look him in the eyes. Say that his concern for you right now is part of why you find him so attractive. Of all those that could have been your first, none of them felt good enough. None made you feel like he does. Far more than him being handsome, it's because he's through and through a good, kind, caring person. That is a shining beauty to you so great you can feel it in your heart and bones. And when you danced and kissed, it felt perfect and you knew you wanted him to be your first. ...And you wanted it to be now because you personally know that nobody can be sure they'll get a chance later at anything, especially you.

Release your embrace and go to sit on the edge of Danus' bed. Look up at him and say that if he feels he can't go through with being your first so soon you understand and you'll accept it. But you won't let him throw himself out of his own bed to sleep on a hard "couch" (which is really more of a wooden bench.) At the least you'll share his bed in the very basic literal sense, and if that's too much for him you'll sleep on the "couch" (this time bringing lots of blankets because, damn, that room gets chilly.)

Aw, he’s so experienced, yet he still hasn’t caught on to the “girls chase boys chase girls” tactic we used on him (even if we ourselves weren’t necessarily aware we were doing it). We need to tell him that we were interested before he was. “Trust me; I want this.” Plus, we can tell he knows his stuff. “Old and overweight” just sounds like “experienced and soft” to us.

Hey, who the hell does he think he is, telling you what you "deserve"? Does he think you deserve some fumbling young'un who won't know what to do? Because I think you deserve a handsome older man who has the experience necessary to teach you how to enjoy yourself.

And honestly... Someone you know better than a man you met a day ago? You're an orphaned wanderer. There isn't anyone alive you know better than him.

>Is the pocket you're remembering they're in the one in your current outfit, or the one that got ripped apart back in Vivian's office?
You made sure to grab everything you got with you before you left her office, including your coin purse and the leaves.
>Bring up the massacre of your village…
The only thing that would accomplish is massacring the mood.
>He is experienced enough that he has been hurt before so he could be making up an excuse to avoid his feelings.
…which means you need help him past this hurdle. The only thing worse than getting hurt is wallowing in your own despair, so you need to get him out of his protective shell… somehow.
>Maybe now is the time when you do the female Sakkilian thing and take charge.
R-right… time to woman up, once and for all… you… you need to do this, not only for yourself, but for Danus as well… um… r-right?


>Offer to be the one who sleeps on the sofa.

>He’s not old, he’s experienced!

:DanusFoS: Y-you… y-you really think I’m that… s-special…
:EmaFoS: Danus…

>Go to sit on the edge of Danus' bed.
You finally break your embrace of Danus, the embrace that seemed to last forever, and walk over to his bed. Making sure to look deep into those beautiful eyes of his, you make yourself comfortable on the edge of his bed without ever taking your sight off him.
:EmaFoS: I… I understand if y-you… you can’t go t-through with this and… and I will accept that… for y-your sake…
:DanusFoS: Ema…

>Start taking off your clothes
With a shaking hand, you try to unbutton your shirt but fail miserably…
:EmaFoS: Trust me… I… I… I w-want this.
:DanusFoS:

Without a word, he takes a step towards you before falling down unto his knees at your feet. With an experienced hand Danus easily starts to unbutton your shirt, but you quickly lose interest in that particular skill of his as he begins to kiss your neck. Starting almost at your chin, he slowly works his way downward as your shirt does the same.

Then as the cloth obscuring your shoulder slides down your arm, Danus slowly moves his attention towards it. With a ping of pain that quickly become that of pleasure, you feel him softly rake his teeth over your shoulder blade, the removal of your shirt going unnoticed as you’re lost in bliss…

Grabbing your left hand, he holds it tight as his lips starts to kiss your chest, all the while his free hand slowly massages your spine. It doesn’t take much from him to make you arch your back in pleasure, as his fingers seems to find every last sensitive spot on your back, as if he knew it just like the back off his own hand. As he reaches your stomach, his worship of your body suddenly stops, but you barely have time to let out a small whine before he places his tongue at the lower end of your tummy, dragging it slowly across it and your chest while squeezing your hand softly.

Shifting between kisses and licks, your body is assaulted by his passion from all sides, his snout exploring every part of your torso while his free hand never lets your back rest. For what seems to be an eternity, you’re lost in nothing but pleasure as he shows you just how experience he has become…

Then all the sudden he stops. His free hand resting on your hip while his snout bites down on the rim of your pants, he looks up towards you with eager eyes as he squeezes your right hand once again, as if to ask for permission… or maybe just the right words…

Lightly squeeze his hand back and softly say "You're amazing. Please, keep going." Purr with more intensity than you ever have before and keep following his lead as he pulls your pants down.

It appears Danus drew a slight bit of blood when he raked his teeth across your shoulder blade. You know that if the blood is no longer touching you it will turn glowing cyan, so take care, otherwise you risk Danus seeing that. Avoid moving so sharply it'd fling off or pressing it against anything, like the bedsheets.

When Danus' attention is elsewhere and you get the opportunity, you can reach up to your shoulder and wipe the blood on a pair of fingers, then put 'em in your mouth to lick 'em off. Any left behind should be spread thin enough to try quickly. If Danus asks what you're doing, say you didn't want to leave blood on his bedsheets.

D-dammit, n-not now… it’s just a few drops, it c-can’t be that bad.
>Avoid moving so sharply it'd fling off or pressing it against anything, like the bedsheets.
You need to be careful… but… it seems to have already dried up…

>Lightly squeeze his hand back…
You give his hand a light squeeze and he answers with a squeeze of his own, coupled with something that almost sounds like a whine. Looking down on his handsome figure, you try to tell him to continue, but every time you open your mouth nothing comes out. Using every last part of willpower you have, you manage to let out a quiet whisper…

“y-yes p-please…”

With an almost juvenile excitement, Danus grips your belt with his teeth and pulls it off, all the while guiding the rest of your clothes off with his free hand. You can’t do anything but blush as you watch him reveal your most private curves to the heat of his breath.

You gasp as you feel his tongue lap over your nethers, teasing its outside as he starts to build your excitement. He show off his skills by managing to pull out the loudest purring you’ve ever done before, all by playing around with the lips of your treasure. Shaking with glee, you can finally feel him getting ready to delve deeper, and as his tongue parts your lips and penetrates you deeply, your whole world becomes one of nothing but pure pleasure.

As he plunge deeper into you, you feel a warmth build up within you and with each twist of his tongue it grows bigger and more wild. It doesn’t take long for his experience ways to bring you to your peak, forcing you to stutter out a few words as your world explode in bliss…

“D-don’t… d-don’t s-stop… ngg… Daddy!”

He doesn't look like your father at all! But.. barring that grumpy attitude he's got he does act a lot like your father... and the caring outlook he got does really remind you of- NO! He is not your father! You're not trying to sleep with your father! This is just... wrong! Stop thinking abou it, brain! STOP IT!

You want to just run away, to crawl under the bed and never come out. Every ounce of your body wishes to simply cease to be, to get away from this situasion and never come back, but the best you can do is to try and hide your blushing face under claw and tail.

"IGNORETHATPLEASEKEEPGOINGYOURTONGUEFEELSREALLYGOODDON'THURTME"

At first he doesn’t make a sound, instead he simply sits up from between your legs and look at you with a bit of a sheepish grin. His warm breath washes over your belly as he exhales a bit before speaking, his voice barely louder than a whisper…

"Ema, lass, don't worry about it..."
"I w-was t-trying to s-scream y-your name but… b-but… I… didn’t… could we both please, please forget this happened?"

You hide your face from him behind your tail, but even then you can feel him get up from between your legs to stand properly.

"Don't be emberrassed. I won't mind if you call me daddy, lass... just don't call me father and its fine, Ema."

The sound of cloth hitting the floor is soon followed, making you go even redder in the face than you already was.

“Besides, you’ve been a good girl, Ema… do you want daddy to give you a treat?”
“Nnnoo… s-stop t-that…”

You feel him lean towards you, his snout almost touching yours as he whispers to you with voice filled with pure joy.

“You don’t want daddy’s treat?”
“P-please…”

He give you a quiet chuckle, as it’s clear that he enjoys watching you squirm in embracement. Then he grabs your hand once again and squeezes it, as if he was trying to calm you down.

The two of you just sit there for a while in silence, his hand never leaving yours, and you try your best to muster the courage to look him in the eyes once again. But before you can do so he starts to whisper…

"Has anyone told you how beutiful you are?"

You try to answer, but you’re unable to make a sound as he squeezes your hand a bit harder…

"Your strong and muscular form, capable to protect any man..."

His free hand lightly starts to stroke your arm…

"Your deep amthyst eyes, sparkling like the very night sky..."

It continues its journey upwards, over your shoulder. You can help but shiver a bit as it passes the small wound he made earlier.

"Your cute little headfins, bringing out that pretty little snout of yours..."

He strokes your neck followed with a sigh of content…

"Your thick and long tail, putting most people to shame..."

You can feel him stroke your chin for a bit before finally his hand finish its journey near your snout and tail.

"And let's not forget those beutiful scales of yours. Like the ocean at sunrise, water shimmering in the sunlight, their blue is so deep as if every scale was a valuble gem. Heh... it's is as if all of you are one large crystal, carved to perfection... like... ah..."

For a second you think he’s about to move the tail away from your face, but in the end he decides to simply let his arm slump back to his side. Instead, he leans in even closer before whispering in your ear…

"...like daddy's little opal."

Ema, release your grip on Danus' hand and let your arm fall to your side. Clench your eyes shut. Breathe deep, soaking up Danus' calming scent. Count to three. Exhale. Repeat until you regain some of your emotional footing and can speak halfway coherently. Then open your eyes.

Danus will almost certainly pick up from your actions that he inadvertently went way over a line and kicked up something that caused you emotional distress and be deeply apologetic. So just look him in the eyes and softly ask him not to call you that and to stop with the "daddy-talk." He'll undoubtedly do so without asking why. ...Do reach out and pull him into a long hug after, though. You could do with feeling the warmth of his closeness and smell his scent while you recover. ...Is he wearing just his apron? ...Damn, that's sexy, isn't it?

Since he's waxed poetic about your scales, his scales are like the sunrise over the ocean, its light moving across its blue surface, its rays warming it. That is how you'd like him to be with you. To come together like the horizon of sea and sunrise.

And Ema, you chose Danus because your father raised you right, not because Danus reminds you of your father. You chose someone of deeply good character (and worn handsomeness) to be your first rather than Karn and his chiseled body or Oran to get him wrapped around your little finger (and probably get down to anything you'd want to in bed too.) Danus is the kind of person that your father would approve of his daughter being with... Once he got over the age difference, that is. You picked well, Ema, so don't fret.

After that things became a bit of a blur… you remember feeling Danus collapse on you… and you embracing him in a tight hug as you fell asleep... or is that simply another memory from another life? You’re having a hard to remembering what you’ve experienced and what the… old you have experienced. You can remember so many lovers, so many heated moments… yet… there is also a coldness hidden behind it all.

You wield your blade to protect those you love… no, you don’t wield them… they are you, just as you are them. They are just another part of you… and you dance with them as lives ends around you. You can remember the very instincts you felt as you stared death in the face… and you feel like your swords are now nothing more than an instinct to be used without thinking. You feel them… and they are you…

You’ve learned how to actually use your swords.

But when the blades leave you, you are once again greeted by the cold. And old memory resurges, a memory the swords want you to see, to experience. She used to bring you warmth, she used to bring you love… but now, things have changed. She knows what you are… and cannot accept it.

She will go to the guards, she has proof, and they will come and burn you at the pyre. You might be able to run, but you won’t get far… you don’t want to get far… you have still things to do here. But, your former lover is about to leave and she is holding your life in your hands. You’ve tried to barging, to convince, to lie… but nothing worked.

To fight for those you love with justice, you should acknowledge their beliefs and feelings on justice and either seek to change them or at least respect them if those beliefs are strongly at odds with your own. It should not have to come to this, but as it has...

Surrender your blades to her and go with her to turn yourself in.

As you walk, tell her that you forgive her. Tell her that in time she may come to understand you as having been something more than a remorseless monster. Tell her that justice is a tricky thing to get right, but if it is a principle she wishes to embrace by calling judgement on you, then you wish her all the best and will admit to all of your crimes. May she wield your blades better than you did, or not at all.

Face your death with a quiet dignity. The disapperances you caused, the lives you ended - that you will freely admit to having ended - those were not good people, and there will be those who know and recognize it. As you burn, a spectacle for a crowd, cry out the names of the worst offenders you had yet to target, so that anyone with wits can recognize the theme. May that warning and condemnation count for something.

Keep your feelings for your love in your heart of hearts, so that if she becomes the next wraith, the memories of your love will be of support to her, and if not, so that future wraiths will remember that passing on the torch voluntarily may in some cases be the least terrible of options.

Let justice remain in whatever capacity you can, without diluting its purpose - to protect what is worth protecting.

If we're allowed to have non-standard solutions and assuming we're a wraith in the dream, we can paralyze her, tie her up - be sure to gag her - then make a break for it.

If not, you must let her go and do your best to flee. You're most definitely failing justice if you kill an innocent person whose only crime is reporting what she believes is a threat to herself and others... but that doesn't mean you can't try to get away. Better that than just lying down and letting them kill you.

There's an old story about a falconer's wife who resented her husband cheating on her with a demoness. She petitioned the duke for a noble quest to raid the demon castle and end the murdering demons there. It was a massacre - on both sides. The family of demons only murdered the local bandits for sport, and swore to defend the innocent (or pious - I don't remember), but they still screamed like little girls when their magic ran out and they could no longer butcher the army. In the end, both an entire duchy and a family of fallen angels were mutually destroyed because one woman believed she was doing a humble, simple right.

If she has betrayed you, hurt her back. You need her to understand what you've been through, the sheer level of hell she will unleash on you, and most importantly, the consequences of leading a herd of rabid dogs into a wolves' den. Teach her how much power she wields - she is neither an insignificant speck nor a crazed hateful psychopath, she is just a scared girl who doesn't realize she has power in her hands and is going to use it to unleash a dam.

Beyond that? Run. Now. While you have time.

>paralyze her
Hey true, and since the problem is that she has proof we could find it and destroy it once she's disabled. Then it'd be her word against ours. Should be a decent chance to continue our work.
Just gotta be sure not to leave any marks on her she could use to prove that we attacked her... and come up with a cover story for why she turned against us.

Another option: just burn this identity, shift into a different one. A smart wraith always has a backup plan.

Don’t attack her in any way. Not only should we avoid doing anything compromising in the real world by accident, but we’d only be reaffirming her opinion of us. If we’re to evade the law, the best way to go about it would be to just trash that identity and disappear while she’s getting the guards. And that’s assuming we don’t want to just face the music.

>Killing an innocent to get at the guilty is a line you should not cross.
As the thought passes through your mind, you can feel a tint of… approval coming from the swords.
>We shouldn't hurt someone who doesn't deserve it just to save ourselves.
You can feel what you can only describe as pride…
>Paralyze her, tie her up - be sure to gag her - then find the proof and destroy it once she's disabled.
You are bathed with encouragement, to continue this way, to find new option that is better than the initial ones.

>Tell her that you forgive her. Tell her that in time she may come to understand you as having been something more than a remorseless monster.
There is so much you want to say to her, to do with her, to… change things… but sadly, this is just a memory, and it’s already far too late to make a difference.

The old you is engulfed in emotion, acting on rage and despair it lunged towards her. Her struggling is pointless, as the old you make short work of her in his anger… but you know that his actions are in the end just as pointless, as this can only end in one way… he will be consumed by regret and then welcome the flames of the pyre.

The sword clearly wanted you to see this as an admonition for the future, but you’re not sure what, exactly, it’s warning you about. That even those that you love can turn on you out of fear? That emotion can force you to act in ways you don’t want to? That immortality is just a word, and that everything that is will be brought to an end, be it by time, steel, disease or regret?

In the end, as you wake up, a simple question remains… What is Justice?

You wake up in the warm bed of Danus, the morning sun shimmering through the curtains as you bask in his smell. It’s the dawn of a new day, a day full of new opportunities and challenges. Today will be the first day of the festival, but you might not have the time to enjoy it as you have so much to do. You need to visit the library to find answers about your home town and visit that herbalist that Yate fellow mentioned so she can help you… solve the problem with that hooded weirdo, one way or another.

You were also considering going out to hunt that shape stealer, even if you’re no longer in need of the money. It would be good to stretch your sword arm, though. Oh, and Oran… you need to deal with Oran as well. Either by speaking to him or simply making him disappears. It would be easy to simply go over to his shop and gobble him up… or to convince him to aid you by more carnal means as well… or maybe you’ll simply sleep with him first and then eat him? Maximize the amount of nourishment you get from him and all that… even though you’re currently rather sated.

>Congratulations, you got creampie'd for your very first time.
To feel his warmth spill out in your depths… having it leak out from the sheer amount he pumped into you… it’s was like being in heaven. Of course, you’ll really going to need to take a bath before you do anything else because of that…
>Need to be careful, we don't want this to be like the joke where someone eats a marshmallow in a dream and wakes up to find their pillow missing.
No need to worry, you’re already sated… as if you’ve just had a large meal just a moment ago…

Luckily, Danus is right there, lying in… bed… next… uh…

Fret not, Ema. Danus is likely just an early riser with things to do, especially considering it's the first day of the festival. Get cleaned, get dressed, and go out to the main room of the inn to find him if he doesn't return to the room for some reason in the meantime.

After that, I say we should check up on Oran - do not eat him, as that would be unjust. We should explain that we are, in fact, an abnormal creature, but we have no intent to harm those who have not committed grievous sins. If necessary, we can bribe him with samples of our blood - then Karn - to inform him of the Vivian situation - then the library, and then, if nothing else pops up in the meantime, the herbalist.

Don’t panic!

Remember, he’s the innkeeper and it’s the 1st day of the festival. He probably needed to get up early so that he could open the inn and get ready for the crowds of people that would be waking up soon. Especially since he also cooks the food for everyone in the inn, so he had to get breakfast prepared, which you’ll have to eat to keep up the appearance of being alive.

Just get up, get cleaned, get dressed, and go out to the main dining area.

Don’t forget your swords!

Ema, keep your cool and don't jump to conclusions. It's highly unlikely you ate Danus in your sleep. For one, he's such a innocent that if you did you'd be feeling really ill right now. For another, if you did your Blades would also likely be yelling at you for that too. How satiated you are felling is probably from a combination of how filling Vivian was combined with that large "sakkilian protein injection" Danus gave you. (Goddesses, how many years do you think he was pent up?) Remember, your Blades said that you can get some satiating life essence from consuming blood or engaging in sex, it's just that eating souls provides much more at once.

Anyway, Danus probably already got up to wash up (since he'd need it nearly as much as you) and get the inn ready for the day. Maybe he even made you breakfast too, with fresh parogranat fruit. Well, get up, check the time, go take a bath and get dressed. Check that your Blades are here, take 'em and then look through your pack and pockets to make sure nothing is missing or out of place. If there's clean bedsheets available, be courteous and swap 'em for the dirty ones on the bed, chucking those ones in the laundry hamper. Also take a quick glance around Danus' room for anything notable or personally important to him before heading to the common room for breakfast and to figure out what you're gonna do next.

Thanks to Danus' large contribution of "sakkilian protein" to you, you ought to not only be able to take his form but also take sakkilian male forms you think up without need to lay with, drink the blood of or eat another male sakkilian to take their form. ...I think. Better check with your Blades on that. But while you're in the bathtub test out taking Danus' form, then a different sakkilian male form. Make sure the bathroom door is locked when you do so nobody walks in on you.

Don't forget about Terroza or that pair of gatherers Oran cued you in on. You have to figure out what to do about them, probably Terroza first since she's squeezing Danus hard for money. You can go to that prostitute's perfume stall at the festival today so he can arrange a meeting with Terroza, but from that point how can you get her in private and out of her armor to eat her? ...Now that you have Danus' form, is there some way you could use it to get Terroza alone? I dunno. She'd be suspect of going anywhere Danus wants her out of paranoia he arranged for her to get whacked rather than pay her extortion. Gotta think on this.

And quit thinking about eating or fucking then eating Oran. Yes, he's not innocent, but killing him just 'cause it'd make things easy for you is unjust. He's also Karn's best friend and it'd leave Karn very sad and angry if Oran was killed and he'd probably try and seek out Oran's killer, which may lead back to you. Oran also provides a very valuable service to the community since he's the only one of the two alchemy shops in the city that sells to those that aren't rich. You kill him and a lot of people will not be able to get healing potions among his other wares. You'd also lose potential access to his alchemical stock and his expertise to aid you.

>>883725
>After that, I say we should check up on Oran - do not eat him, as that would be unjust.
Oran probably doesn't open his shop until mid-morning or so, so Ema probably has a hour or two until then to figure out what she's doing today.

Oh, also, do you remember if your Blades were clean when they were in the Dalriver temple? If so, then how much caked on blood and dried viscera was on your Blades before Danus cleaned them? Was it equally built up on both of them? Because if it was built up on both, then it couldn't be from just running that highwayman's head through and not cleaning your Blades afterwards, since you only used one of them. If all these are true, then it's probable that you've been wandering the countryside and woods attacking people, or at least living creatures, these last ten years and don't remember, probably because you were starved into a feral state. It's also likely you ate at least some people in that time and don't remember. You'd have to have done so at least once not be so hungry you when you encountered Justinia and those highwaymen you'd charge in like a dumb beast.

...Though, a major counter to this theory is that your tattered old clothes weren't bloodstained all over the front like would be expected if you were going about hacking creatures over the last decade. But it's also peculiar that there were no bloodstains on them from when you were killed. It'd be expected having a sickle stuck through your head from bottom to top would result in a hell of a lot of blood pouring out. And it couldn't have been that the Blades created those clothes at the same time as your body because if that was it the clothes would have reverted to goo once separated from your body. Yeah, something isn't adding up here, but dunno what it means.

Alright, don't panic yet. He probably had something to do this morning, so he probably already woke up and couldn't bring himself to disturb your sleep.

Look around for anything that's changed in the room from last night. The clothing he was wearing during the foreplay, have they been moved? Have the curtains been opened? Any sign that someone was in the room this morning other than you.

R-right… he’s p-probably just… yes… indeed… you scared y-yourself for nothing, Ema, no need to worry.
>Look around for anything that's changed in the room from last night. The clothing he was wearing during the foreplay, have they been moved?
His clothes are gone. That’s a good sign, right? That must mean he’s just got up before you, that’s all.

>How satiated you are felling is probably from a combination of how filling Vivian was combined with that large "sakkilian protein injection" Danus gave you.
Heh… yeah… Danus did “feed” you quite a bit, didn’t he? You have to make sure he “feeds” you some more later as well *Purr*
>Goddesses, how many years do you think he was pent up?
Its most have been years! You’re pretty sure he wasn’t big enough down there to even hold that amount!
>Thanks to Danus' large contribution of "sakkilian protein" to you, you ought to not only be able to take his form.
…nnnnnope. You can’t. Not yet… you probably need more… ah… samples before you can do that.
>Just get up, get cleaned and get dressed.
You can’t sleep the whole day away, Ema, time to get into action! You just hope Danus left you some warm water. Oh, of course he did, he’s Danus.


Clothed, bathed in warmth and ready for a new dawn, it’s time to meet the day once again.
>I say we should check up on Oran - do not eat him, as that would be unjust.
He smells like he has done something to deserve that justice… but maybe you’re right. You might have need of him. Though, his shop is probably closed by this hour… and you have no idea where he lives, do you? Maybe you should try to find that out?
>Then Karn - to inform him of the Vivian situation.
Is that really a good idea? You’re not sure how he will take you eating her… and you’re not sure how to tell him what happen to his mother without him starting asking to many questions…
>Don't forget about Terroza or that pair of gatherers Oran cued you in on.
Oh right… you’ll eat them instead of Oran. They are probably way tastier, no? So… you’ll need to talk to that… man of the night at the fair about Terroza… and Oran knows about those abductors or what he called them…
>Don’t forget your swords!
Of course not! Duh!
>Take a quick glance around Danus' room for anything notable or personally important to him.
Looking around, you can’t really find anything that really sticks out. Well, there is this really well-crafted box, designed for what looks like a necklace or something, but’s it’s empty? Hmm… why keep an empty box?
>Do you remember if your Blades were clean when they were in the Dalriver temple? If so, then how much caked on blood and dried viscera was on your Blades before Danus cleaned them?
You’re pretty sure the only blood he cleaned off them was from that highwayman you killed. After all, you’re certain that the blades were clean right before you skewered him through the head.

>Go out to the main room of the inn.
You have to admit that you make a sigh of relief when you spot Danus working in the main hall of the inn. Though, as you see that he walk around with a slight limp, your heart falls a bit.

:DanusFoS: Ah, Ema! Good morning! I’m sorry I couldn’t be there when you woke up but… ah…
:EmaFoS: I understand, don’t worry about it, Danus. Um… it’s just… it that… err… my fault?
:DanusFoS: What is your- oh, you mean…

You can see a slight discomfort on his face as he strokes his own back for a bit.

:DanusFoS: No, no, it’s nothing. It’s just an old back injury that is making itself known again. I might have overdone it a bit yesterday, lass, but don’t you worry about this old lizard. Though I might need some rest before I try something like that again…
:EmaFoS: S-sorry…
:DanusFoS: Don’t be, lass. It was worth it… trust me.
:EmaFoS: It really was a special night, wasn’t it… part of me wish that morning would never come…
:DanusFoS: Heh… I have to admit I’ve had similar wishes… but speaking of morning, Drago is making breakfast if you want some. I made sure he saved the last Parogranat fruit for you if you wanted it.
:EmaFoS: Oh, thank you!
:DanusFoS: I should probably buy those more often… they were disappearing like butter on a hot summer day.
:EmaFoS: Well, they are in season right now, so… they are really soft and juicy *Purr*
:DanusFoS: Indeed they are, lass… which is also seen in their current price as well…
:EmaFoS: Hey, if you want the best you have to work for it, don’t you?
:DanusFoS: Hmm… true… but speaking of that… I… about last night?

Hey how does the sample thing work if you sleep with a female? Will you have to drink of their juices, or do you have to pretend to be a vampire and drink their blood?

>Danus
Well, put up some resistance, don't just jump on permission to play the field. Tell him you really like him, and ask if he's sure about wanting you to try dating other people first. If so, tell him thank you. You like him a lot and you're glad he was your first, even if you find someone you like better. He's more experienced in love than you, so you'll take his advice.

>Karn
You could just shapeshift into Vivian and write him a note confessing her sins, and saying she's going to leave town. Then mail it to him(as Vivian). Make sure the envelope with the note has his mother's pendant or whatever. Be sure that the note is only slightly remorseful about it, so that it's believable. Or heck, you could turn it completely the other way and have the note written to taunt him about it, the pendant is only there to prove she did it, and she's leaving town only because she found better work opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, it'd explain why Vivian suddenly disappeared, give him closure on his mother's death, and you might even be able to claim responsibility for getting Vivian to do it, though you don't have to say how.

Anyways, your swords mentioned something about "absolving people through intercourse" or something along those lines.

If so, that's a good mechanism; it makes sense that you would want those you bed to become less appetizing.

He’s right. Just because he was your first, that doesn’t mean that you have to stay with him.

It’s best if you respect his wishes and do as he asks of you. But make sure you thank him for what he’s done for you and tell him that you’re positive that one day he’ll also find someone that would love to be with him.

No, I don’t think we need to do that.

We’re probably overthinking the situation and making it harder than necessary. Just like when we were trying to sneak out of Vivian’s dojo, we came up with a bunch of plans, when it was just as simple as turning into Vivian and making a few commands to her guards.

Frankly, we just can't go for Danus as a long-term relationship.
The only people who could work with us in that aspect would be another adventurer of your age. Danus is stuck in one place, but you need a steady supply of severe wrongdoers.
You'll likely be travelling for the rest of your life. But fret not - I'm sure you'll find a hot and charming guy to travel with.

Now, onto more pressing matters:
First, Karn. Inform him of the Vivian situation. Don't mention eating her, of course - just say you managed to stealthily dispose of her and her body. Ask if he'll go with to Oran's shop, as he seems to be paranoid that there's something wrong with you, and you don't want him to do anything rash.

Second, Oran: He's a smart guy and we sold him a vial of our blood - he'll figure out your secret eventually. We need to find a way to make sure he never tells, but that can't be by killing him.
So, bring Karn along to vouch for you; though this will likely result in him also finding out your secret, we've earned his trust by helping him. He'll be inclined to side with us, despite our abnormal condition.

Walk up to Danus, smile and hug him tight. "Y'know, all this concern for my future well being is making me feel you're even more desirable than I did before, so that kinda backfired on you. ...But I know I should heed your words and wisdom and respect your feelings, despite how much I feel otherwise now. I'll take time to get more experiences, even though I doubt I will find another better than you. ...And I want to kiss you right now, you wonderful man." Than lean in and kiss him deeply, if he lets you.

Ask him to please stop putting himself down. He's a far better man than he feels he is. And ask if he'd promise you that if you don't come back to him for whatever reason that he will find another gal. A person as good as him doesn't deserve to be alone. You couldn't stand that. You know in your bones there's another lady out there for him somewhere.

Offer to give him a back massage sometime later on. You've never given one before, (you just did his shoulders before,) but just laying face down in bed while you gently knead his back would feel good to him, wouldn't it? Especially the small of his back at the base of his tail. You'd like to hear him purr.

Also ask him when the library and Oran's shop open and where Karn and Oran live. However, you shouldn't go to Oran's home this morning. He'd get freaked out by you showing up on his doorstep uninvited. It'd be better to take the time until his shop or the library opens to go out and hunt the shape stealer. Then you can test your skill with your blades, nab the bounty, get a reason to see Oran in selling him the shape stealer's hide, and you'll get enough coin to buy Danus a heating rune as a gift. Alternatively, if you don't think you'll have enough time to hunt the shape stealer, you can visit Yate's herbalist friend just to the north of the city.

Something to keep in mind for when you visit the library is to look up what nobles are currently living in Stoneburg and their bloodlines to figure out who the twins Vivian was selling folk to are.

>Well, there is this really well-crafted box, designed for what looks like a necklace or something, but’s it’s empty? Hmm… why keep an empty box?
Are necklaces used for marriage proposals in these parts? If so, then it might have been the box for the necklace he gave to his first love and mother of Drago before she ran off... Though, you'd think he wouldn't want to keep a reminder of such pain around. ...Maybe she didn't run off but instead died some point after laying containing Drago. Ah, you shouldn't speculate on Danus' past 'cause you'll probably get it wrong.

>First, Karn. Inform him of the Vivian situation.
For fuck's sake, I thought we were trying to keep as much distance between Ema and Vivian's death/disappearance! Admitting or showing Ema had anything to do with Vivian at this point beyond taking a discount lesson is risking opening up a can of worms. Ema would either have to lie her tail off (which she's lousy at) or admit she's a person-eating undead! We are not sharing the latter with anyone until we're reasonably sure they will not freak out or go to the guards. So until Karn is thoroughly vetted, no sharing anything with him! We do not want to get into a situation where Ema has to kill him 'cause he'll out her or attack her.

Now, if we absolutely cannot stand not informing Karn that Vivian had his mother killed and will go against better judgment, there is a way we can do so that does not connect Ema in any way back to Vivian's death. Fist, Ema writes a letter with the following text: "Found this in a drawer in Vivian's office desk, next to a bottle of poison she intended for you.

Now that you know, kindly burn this letter and never speak of this. -A enemy of your enemy." Next, Ema seals it in a envelope with Karn's mother's locket and writes "To Karn" on the front. She goes to a secluded area, changes into Gev's form, goes to Karn's home, slides the letter under his front door, goes to a different secluded area and changes back.

Yeah, you two get it. Ema isn't gonna be able to stay in one spot for long before the pickings get slim on the worst of the worst she can eat with clean conscience. At least the ones that aren't protected so much they can't be reached. She'll either have to move on or bring Justice to the one(s) who did the great injustice that created her, thereby completing her purpose and going to her final rest. So the relationship with Danus is gonna have to be short-term, with care taken to leave exit hatches that won't hurt him. However, this doesn't mean that their relationship can't be passionate and joyful in the time they have.

A better idea, to make sure he gets the letter: Turn into Gev and deliver it directly to Karn and say, “Some strange guy in a brown cloak and wearing a festival mask basically describe Yate gave me a few silver and told me to deliver this to you. He never gave me his name or anything and just said to make sure you got this.” And then we leave and turn back into Ema.

I think outright volunteering the info would sound suspect. If Karn asked who sent it, then tell him but be brief about it. But personally, I think that Ema should not make any contact with Karn during this, since every contact is a chance for something to go wrong that outs her. Better to just leave it slipped under Karn's front door or in his mailbox.

Dammit, I deleted the section of text that was supposed to be in reply to >>884124 and forgot to put it back in so it got stuck in with the reply to >>884138 and >>884203.

What I meant to write is that Karn wouldn't believe for a second that Vivian is remorseful or that she'd be stupid enough to write down her wicked deeds and sign her name to them. It may look to him like she did it under duress, but then Karn may get paranoid about why he was sent this laundry list of her misdeeds she was forced to write. It's not like there's anything he can do with it, is there? Is it somehow painting a bullseye on him as the mastermind behind her disappearance? And if Ema admits she was the one who somehow kidnapped a weaponsmaster without killing her guards, when Ema couldn't wield a sword worth shit yesterday, that is going to open a whole bunch of questions by Karn about Ema that'll complicate things.

Well, I’d rather directly give it to Karn while disguised as Gev because, 1.) People don’t normally look down unless they have a reason to, so Karn might not see it if we slip it under the door. And 2.) We don’t know when Karn will check his mail, so if we leave it in the mailbox, some asshole might come and steal his mail before he sees it.

I just want to make absolutely sure that he gets the letter and not leave anything up to random chance.

Hmmm... yes, it's probably a bad idea for Ema's primary form to be seen around Karn in public for a while, but I still think we should get him on our side before confronting Oran.
Perhaps something like this:
If he's not at the inn, go over to his place in Gev form. You can't tell him things via letter - someone could find said letter, and who knows what they'd do with the information you may let slip. Tell him "Ema sent me to tell you that she'd like to meet at Danus's inn. She will explain there why she is not here in person."
If/once he's here, inform him somewhere private that Vivian will trouble him no longer, and that you need help dealing with a paranoid Oran.

We should talk to Karn quickly and in person, before he starts coming up with wild ideas. Giving him his heirloom back should keep him grateful enough he'll respect our wish to not to go to the guard, and he'll understand the problem of being different making one a target.

Also it should be abundantly clear by this point that a plan with more than three steps is beyond Ema's capabilities.

Yes, sure, Karn would doubt Ema was strong enough to force a confession out of Vivian. That is, he would be doubtful until Ema demonstrated she's more skilled than he thought. It was a trick, of course. To lower Vivian's guard. Because Ema know she would be hassling Karn today. Yep.

He'll be suspicious of your new skill but tell him you were just messing with him before to see how he'd react; you wanted to judge his character.

Let's head over to Karn's dojo, first in Gev form to drop off the letter - a big bulge like that makes it very attractive to thieves - and then return a few minutes later as Ema. It should be safe to do so, as one of Vivian's guards is unlikely to be around.

You were the victim in that scenario; it wasn't for Karn, it was self defense. Hell, Karn will know better than anybody that being different can make you a target, the fact that Vivian's behind Karn's mother's murder and was planning on another after selling you into slavery only makes it more believable. If you talk to him and explain the situation in person, you'll be able to control the situation; answer all his questions and assuage his curiosity enough to prevent him from investigating on his own and end up discovering any of your secrets.

I agree, but I’m not sure if we should admit to straight up icing that bird. Maybe explain the truth up until after you were captured. Then make something up for how you got out of your bonds. Once you get to the part about confronting Vivian, say you got into a scuffle and you ended up knocking her out through sheer luck. While looking for a way out, you found the locket, journal, and poison. Feign ignorance about her disappearance if he already knows about that; he’ll hopefully conclude that making really god-damning evidence disappear from Vivian’s office spooked her enough to force her out of town and into hiding, and the testimony of the guards will corroborate the idea that nobody “did” anything to her, once people start to talk. Do talk him down from revenge if he brings up any desire to do so, though.

The more distance you put between your prime identity as Ema and this letter getting into Karn's hands, the better. ...But there's also a small risk it'll be swiped from Karn's mailbox (unless it's a mail slot into his home or a locked mailbox, in which case you can safely drop it in.) Having it put into his hands directly would be best, but not by your hands. Could you hire a courier (while in Gev's form) for a few silver coins to hand deliver the letter to him? Alternatively, you could place it in his mailbox (as Gev,) then stake it out (as Gev) until Karn collects it to intercept anyone who might steal the letter.

You should rewrite that letter somewhat. Right now it could give him the impression that it was dropped on him by one of Vivian's enemies in the hope he'd get so enraged that he'd attack and kill Vivian, doing their dirty work. That or it's part of some plan on Vivian's part to screw him over. Or, and it's unlikely, he'd actually go to confront Vivian and get into a altercation with her guards.

Better reword the letter so it indicates that Vivian is gone for good. Write "This was found in a drawer in Vivian's office desk, next to a bottle of poison she intended for you. Figured you deserve to get it back after all the grief she has put you through, along with the truth that she hired a assassin to kill your mother. As for Vivian, she has been discreetly shuffled off this mortal coil. Now, kindly destroy this letter and keep quiet about all this; It's in both our best interests that you do. -A enemy of your enemy." That should do it.

The letter delivered, next thing you should do is hit the library. Besides the other things you already have on your list to look up, you need to find out what you are before confronting Oran. If he's figured out what you are already, then he'll have most likely done so from a reference book. You read what he has, or close too it, and you'll have a idea of what he likely knows and can figure out how to approach him better. Check whatever book is the preeminent reference for undead, paranormal and magical creatures and their use in alchemy, since that's the book Oran most likely would own. In fact, you should figure out what you are first, before looking anything else up, then speak with Oran since the earlier you do, the less the odds he'll do something you won't like. You can come back to the library to finish researching the other stuff later.

As for someone to take to the festivities, it's really up in the air. You could take Oran if you can convince him not to go to the authorities or whatever. That'd keep him happy. Or Karn, since he's a real nice looking guy and maybe you could get him in the sack. Or that Athena gal. She looked nice too and you'd like to find out more about her. Maybe get her into bed and find out just how much of her is covered in feathers. Ah, but it's too soon to decide. Wait until after the situation with Oran shakes out.

No. 885072 ID: bffeb2

Maybe we can have the letter be from the assassin that, after being contacted by Vivian to kill Karn, betrayed her instead and then sent him this letter, this would help explain her disappearance.

>>
No. 885103 ID: 05ff2f

On second thought, go to Oran instead of going to the library first to find out what you are before talking with him. The sooner you talk with him the better the odds you'll head him off before he does something dumb and if he's already done something dumb, then better to find out sooner rather than be surprised by it later. Also, if he's already done something dumb that he can't take back by the time you get to him that you could have headed off if you went sooner, then knowing what you are when you meet him won't help. Might not have helped you anyway if the book he read had a load of erroneous info and overblown claims of your capabilities.

There's also the matter of the kidnappers Oran told you of. The longer you don't deal with them, the greater the odds they may jump you. While you now know how to wield your blades, getting ambushed risks a lucky hit taking you down despite your sword skill. So meet Oran under the pretext of wanting to figure out how to deal with the would-be kidnappers.

If Karn has any questions about who delivered this letter, or what happened to Viv, he'll investigate. From Justina he'll find out that the red-feathered dude who delivered the letter looks similar to a bandit who you killed. From his best pal Oran he'll learn you're a shape-stealing monster, and from Danus he might learn that you ran off and went unaccounted for last night. At any point he could try and get the guards involved, or just put two and two together, and then the jig is up. Or, you could go in and talk to him in person, explain everything just short of being an undead cannibal & ask for his forgiveness and understanding- understanding we know he'll have since he doesn't like how people treat him for being unique, which for all we know is why we're a target for slavers.

No. 885241 ID: 05ff2f

On further thought, why do you need to deliver that letter to Karn today? Yes, it feels right he should get his mother's locket back and know Vivian killed her and that Vivian is dead, but getting that letter to him presents a level of risk to you, albeit at least a small one. Any tangible benefit you could have gotten from giving him the locket and the news right now would be part of admitting you killed Vivian to get him on your side. And since you think he's the kind of person who would turn you in for murder if you did tell him, or at least not want to have anything to do with you, that is a no-go.

Also, you have no idea how Karn will react to the contents of that letter. He could be paranoid about it, since assassins or those that hire them generally don't extend such kindnesses. He could believe the information is false, some kind of trap for him. He could even become suspicious of you, this mysterious poor transient blue girl with a pair of very distinctive and valuable blades who shows up a day before Vivian disappears and was one of the last persons to see her.

You have very important things you need to do in the limited time you have and adding extra risk of being caught or waylaid just for a good feeling is not acceptable. The best way to handle this would be to pay a courier service (as Gev) to deliver the letter to Karn a few days from now, which will hopefully put some distance between you and Vivian's disappearance in Karn's mind. The next best would be to leave it in Karn's mailbox (while in Gev's form) in the middle of the night a few days from now.

Self-defense or not, killing someone and then managing to get away without a trace raises some questions, doesn’t it?

Don't assume ill intent on his part is why he's taking so long. For all you know he could be making himself decent or gussying himself up for you. ...But to be on the safe side, lean against the wall next to the door, just in case he's arming himself for a surprise first strike either through the door or after he opens it. He has the alchemical knowledge and means to concoct some serious anti-undead stuff, after all. However, it's doubtful he would strike first. He seems more the type to be defensive if it came to that. He might be slathering on some undead repellent or bunkered down to retaliate if you bust his door in.

Wait another minute and if Oran doesn't open the door, then from your position next to the door, reach over and give it a couple knocks and say to him that he's taking rather a long time and ask if he's okay in there. If he doesn't respond, wait a couple minutes longer then ring the bell then lean over to the door to ask in a louder voice if he can hear you.

>And with your superior strength, it wouldn’t be hard to just force yourself inside!
Ema, no! Besides being a act of home invasion, which is a crime and against Justice, such a aggressive act would blow up any chance at peacefully working things out with Oran. It'll confirm any thoughts he may have in his head about you being unacceptably dangerous and he'll either rightly act to defend himself from such aggression or attempt to flee. He'll also very likely yell a whole lot and there'll be a big ass ruckus that'll draw attention. All of this is a undesirable result.

>The door might be locked, but you can always just force it open with the swords…
Oh, no! That is straight up breaking and entering, again a crime and against Justice. It would also cause a racket in addition to all the downsides written above.

>You walk up to the private entrance of Karn’s training hall in the shape of Gev, and deposit the letter inside the mailslot in the wall.
A important question: Did you remember to stash your swords when you changed into Gev's form? Because those blades are as connected to your appearance as Ema as your blue scales.

>Did you remember to stash your swords when you changed into Gev's form?
You made sure to hide your swords under the cloak you’ve got for your Gev form. That way you’ll both be armed and hard to recognize.
>Break down the door and tell him you've come for his boy hole.
…tempting…
>Forcing your way in would spook the poor bastard. It'll confirm any thoughts he may have in his head about you being unacceptably dangerous and he'll either rightly act to defend himself from such aggression or attempt to flee.
You’re right, at this point breaking in will probably only make things worse… unless he’s already decided that you’re an evil monster already.

>He might be getting ready to throw a potion or something at you! So just in case that’s what he’s doing, you should stand to the side of the door and not be standing directly in front of it!
Right, you got to predict your foes movements before they do them. You’ll make sure if he tries anything you’ll be ready for it!
>He's stashing away all the dirty dishes, smut and other items and literature (and possibly sex toys) he had out that he doesn't want a visitor to see when he invites them in. He is a bachelor who hardly gets any visitors, so he likely doesn't bother with keeping things tidy or put away in his home.
Hmm… it’s possible he’s just taking his time doing something mundane and unthreatening, but you can’t let your vigilance falter even if that’s the case. Prepare for the worse and hope for the best, as they say.
>Just wait a bit longer then knock again. If he does not come after the second knock, we might want to start planning on the whole eating him thing.
He does smell tasty without all that alchemy smudge on him after all…

>Wait another minute and if Oran doesn't open the door, then from your position next to the door, reach over and give it a couple knocks.
:EmaFoS: Hellooo? Oran? .....are you getting dressed or something?
:OranFoS: J-just a minute! I’m just… err… cleaning… up?

You can hear him accidently topple something metal in there followed by him swearing a bit before it goes quiet again. After waiting for another whole minute, you’re starting to consider breaking through a window or something to eat him already because he’s clearly doing something in there that he don’t want you to know about. Then, before those ideas can go any further, the door opens…

:OranFoS: Why hello there. Did you fall from heaven because it looked like… it… hurt… wait, no, that’s not- err…
:EmaFoS:
:OranFoS: I mean, your butt is like a keg, because I want to drink- no, I mean open it- err… Tap… I mean tap… tap it?

Ah, so he does know what you are. Tell him don't be racist, Sakkilians don't eat people alive, it's a wartime ritual thing. Then ask if he'd like to start this conversation over indoors.

Once you're inside close and lock the door behind you. First off, tell him you're not planning on eating him, but you need to know if he's told anyone else or plans to. You will be hunted down and killed if the wrong people find out. Then ask exactly what he knows about you and what you can do, because you're not very well informed yourself.

If he asks if you've been eating people, tell him you managed to get Vivian, but not to tell Karn.

You can't be hard on him, you acted exactly like that when you were with Danus, if not worst. And you are a female, you have no excuse.

No. 885896 ID: 05ff2f

Oh, gods, that attempt at flirting was so inept it shot through pitiful to sorta adorably endearing. See, Ema, he wasn't doing anything nefarious. He was just prettying himself up for you. You were about to bust in and kill him for nothing, Ms. Impulsive, so how 'bout you rein in your paranoia a bit. And what's more, he appears to know what you are and not only doesn't seem like he's taken any actions against you, he's still attracted to you. This outcome is better than expected for being found out.

Smile at his adorable floundering and tell him it's okay, you have a soft spot for earnest nerdy types. (Remember Tidol?) That said, those lines, not good whoever says 'em. Thank him for the compliment that you're sexy and beautiful, and tell him he cleans up real nice. He looks quite handsome. You like how that outfit accentuates those great hips of his. ...Um, that eye shadow could do with some cleaning up, though. How 'bout you two step inside while he fixes that?

Once inside tell him that you knew yesterday that anti-undead items aren't infused with necromantic magic and you knew he knew that but it gave him a out so you took it. And you know what that meant he knows and let it be 'cause he hadn't acted badly. Plus, you kinda like the dork. You'd like him to show you the book he read to find out the particulars of that. You could use a laugh at how embellished it'll be. (And as you read it the Swords can tell you what of it is true and what is bunk.)

Ema, are you getting hungry again? Is that why you were so ready to eat Oran? 'Cause if so, you're gonna have to bag Terroza sooner rather than later. Don't want a repeat of that burst of hunger at the end of your first kiss with Danus.

He's got some weapon, because he's scared of you. Tell him he's got nothing to worry about. You two were alone in his shop yesterday, nothing's different today.

If he insists, you'll have to talk at the festival. You can just talk quietly while you're there to ensure nobody overhears what you're saying. Or you can disguise the conversation by making it sound like you're asking him about undead in general, then steer the conversation towards Wraiths.

Be ready to dodge out of the way in case he panics and tries to attack you.

Stand there with your arms crossed and look at him in the eyes while saying, “Really? I trusted you and you can’t at least show me a little trust? Look, I get it, you’re scared and confused and you don’t know what’s going on. Hell, I don’t even know what’s going on! That’s why I came to you. I was hoping you could give me some answers.

Huh, thought his hand being out of sight was just him leaning against the door frame in a attempt to strike a sexy pose. And so Kaktus didn't have to draw his hand. It might be something innocuous he's holding, but it's probably something like a holy hand grenade or jug of holy water or some other anti-undead weapon just to be on the safe side in case your intentions were bad. Can't blame him, really. He knows what you are, and who you are is a near unknown to him. That's why he doesn't trust you enough to be alone with you right now and he wants to be in public with plenty of eyewitnesses. Well, forcing the matter of going inside will likely end badly, so looks like it's time to go to the festival with him.

Take a step back and a bit to the left to maybe get a view of what he's holding but don't be obvious about it. "Great! I'll wait out here while you fix your makeup and then we'll be off." Once you're walking side-by-side ask him what he most wants to do at the festival together, commenting that you've never been to a big city's Harvest Festival before. It's quite a different affair than the festivities back in your tiny home village and you want to try all the things available.

>>886234
Hold on this. We're in public, I think on a public street, so we have to keep things discreet so passersby or eavesdroppers don't overhear. So no talking about undead or how you're gonna talk in secret and suchlike.

>>886235
Dude, Oran doesn't trust Ema near enough to believe any of that. It's gonna come off sounding to him like a blatant ploy to get him alone to thrall or kill or whatever him. Especially the last bit which sounds like a lame attempt at emotional manipulation, which it is. Plus, it's too much to say out in the open where unwanted ears may hear.

>>886249
>But I have no intentions of hurting you. Unless you throw whatever that is you are hiding at me.
Ema, don't say you won't hurt him. He's trying to keep things on the down low so eavesdroppers won't be suspicious and saying you won't hurt him will be suspicious. He also doesn't trust you enough yet to believe those words aren't hollow, so it'd be a waste of breath.

No drawing attention that Ema knows he's hiding something. Let him feel some security, and so he doesn't think to use more clandestine counters to Ema.

>>886264
God, no. That is a bad idea. Take a hint, he doesn't want to be alone with Ema right now out of precaution because he knows what she is and doesn't know who she is, how she acts or if she can be trusted. Pressing the matter will just result in him panic throwing holy water or something else nasty in her face, screaming for help and fleeing inside, slamming the door after himself. That'll fuck everything up, especially if he escapes out through his shop into populated public streets. The shit would really hit the fan then.

>>886327
And then Ema gets a face full of holy water because she didn't pick up Oran doesn't feel safe alone with her and everything goes to shit.

That’s.....not really what I was intending?

I was just speaking the truth. And if I was in Ema’s position of suddenly waking up and discovering I’m some kinda undead monster that eats people, I’d be scared and desperately looking for someone to help me find some answers on what’s happening to me.

Also, I was trying to get us to go inside so that we could talk about all of this stuff privately. We can’t exactly talk about any of this in a crowd of people at the festival, there’s no telling who would hear this.

And a crowd of people makes it very easy for Oran to quickly and quietly slip away if he really felt like it, which is what worries me the most.

>Too much to say out in the open
We’re at the door to his private apartment, which is behind the store, most likely in an alley. I kinda thought we’d have plenty of time to talk.

Yes, it is the truth. But right here, right now, after Oran responded the way he did to Ema wanting them to go inside, with the expression he has right now, it's going to sound to him like she's trying to get him alone without causing a ruckus, likely for nefarious reasons. It'll push him towards distrusting Ema, and at that point we can only hope all he does is just shut the door in her face, doesn't want anything to do with her anymore and doesn't tell anyone else about her.

I also think this update is Kaktus signaling a warning to us because we all didn't figure out that Oran would not want to risk being alone with a Elder Wraith of nearly unknown character, and if we keep pushing this way we're going to blow our proverbial foot off and Oran'll end up dead. Since my personal objective is to try my best to keep him and the other side characters alive and preferably at least as whole as they started as, I'm advocating the safe route of going to the festival.

>Also, I was trying to get us to go inside so that we could talk about all of this stuff privately.
Yes, I wanted that too, but since Oran doesn't want it then it won't happen without forcing the matter and if that happens the situation will go to shit and he'll end up dead.

>We can’t exactly talk about any of this in a crowd of people at the festival, there’s no telling who would hear this.
There have to be a few places at the festival where these two can be seen but not heard, especially if they're whispering to each other. Maybe the festival will have a Ferris wheel and they can get a cab to ride alone.

Once you're on your way away from here with Oran and you're reasonably sure nobody is eavesdropping, you ought to apologize for asking to go into his home alone with him, especially right after you asked him to go to the festival with you. Under normal circumstances it'd be a asshole move on your part, since you're a near stranger.

What's important here is that you're not about to let a good date go to waste and neither, surprisingly, seems he. Despite his nervousness and precautions, he's still willing to date.

"Well... not the food stalls. I've ALREADY EATEN, so don't worry about me getting hungry anytime soon, cutie. The games would be fun to watch, but I'd rather talk to you where there won't be so much cheering and jeering, so let's go see the Nomads. Mystique... fits me fine for now. Let's enjoy ourselves for a while and see where we go from there, ok? I promise I won't bite, and you're free to bring 'protection' if you want, just in case this goes places."

We’re in an alley behind his shop, I don’t think anyone is going to walk by.

And we need to poke the barrier to test its strength against Ema. Remember the close call with Danus? We have to be sure this barrier can hold us back just in case that happens again sometime in the future while we’re with Oran.

Look, we're gonna have to talk about the 'thing' eventually and I know that if you haven't told Karn already that you will confide with him sooner rather than later. As much as I want to keep this between as few people as possible, would it make you feel safer if Karn was there, too? Though I have the feeling Karn will be busy with a personal issue for the time beeing.

What did you need the blood for, anyway?

:OranFoS: Um… I guess?

Oran leaves for a few seconds before returning with a book labeled “The Undead as an ingredient: Master guide” which he hands over to you with a page already open on something called an Elder Wraith. Before you can ask him about it he’s already left to fix his makeup or… whatever he is about to do.

>Poke at the barrier to see how strong it is. Does it feel like it’s strong enough to keep you out or does it feel like you could easily break it if you really wanted to?
It feels like you might be able to force your way through it, but the more force you apply to it, the… “harder” it pushes back. In fact, it almost starts to hurt when you poke it really hard.

"Uh, I was curious if the barrier would still react to my saliva once it was separate from me, so I, uh, licked it; It tastes like beetroot, by the way. Looks like it still has a undead signature. It's curious that it has not reverted to cyan goo once separated like my blood did. Is it made of normal saliva or something else that keeps its shape, and if so for how long? Would my tears be the same? What about other things?" (You'll have to remember to test in private while in a male form whether your ejaculate reverts to cyan goo once separate from your body or not. That way you don't risk getting a nasty surprise the first time you lay with a lady while male.)

Read the entire entry on Elder Wraiths. See if there's other alchemical ingredients you can offer Oran or hints as to why you don't have a memory of anything for the last decade. (And also so Ema'll find the part on Elder Wraiths disappearing once they complete exacting justice upon the one(s) that caused the great injustice that awoke them. Then she can say to Oran that the sooner she finishes doing that, the sooner she can lay to final rest and not risk being a danger, so it'd make sense to help her in this cause. Oh, and also so Ema can wonder how, 75 years ago, the Swords got from Accarat to a tiny temple in Dalriver where they were claimed to be a saint's.)

Point out to Oran that you don't know about the rest of the claimed abilities this book lists, but you're 99.9% certain you can't turn into a animal. You asked the Swords if you could earlier and they gave a hard "no." Same for turning into plants.

Ask him if he could physically describe those two reagent gatherers he told you about yesterday. You want to know what they look like so you can keep a eye out for them in case they try to jump you.

Also ask why he didn't go to the authorities to report what you are. Most folk would, but what reason did he have not to? Well, whatever the reason, you are grateful he didn't.

You should let him know the reason you're sticking around in Stoneburg: To bring Justice to those who caused the massacre of Dalriver, your home village, 10 years ago and your murder. Also, they're very likely connected with that tower that appeared to the north and the deaths of all those who have been anywhere near it for a length of time. The Swords sense that the perpetrators are in this city and you won't leave 'till they're found and Justice administered to them.

>...eat people through any orifice? Wait, does that mean you can eat people through your nose?
It might be a exaggeration of you being able to stretch your mouth out to eat a person whole, but if it is true, it'd mean ANY orifice. Ear hole, rectum, urethra (if male), and vagina (if female.) It's that last possibility that may give Oran pause if it gets to laying with you. But if it's true, it'd give you another potential route to consume a target if you choose to lure 'em into bed.

Something important to remember for if and when you eat a Serpens is to be very mindful of their telepathy. Your paralytic touch may not be able to silence their cries for help since they just need their mind to speak. But even if it would silence them, it only lasts a handful of seconds. Once it wears off they can scream to the heavens for anyone in range to hear, even if you got their head halfway inside your maw. You'll have to plan to knock 'em out one way or another before eating them.

>>887456
>I bet you can turn into an animal if you eat one.
Nope on that. According to the Swords when that was asked before in >>/questarch/868005, Ema cannot shapeshift into the form of "lesser living things like animals and plants." Perhaps by some outside magical or alchemical assistance she could, but not on her own.

Actually, now that I think about it, that might be referring to how Ema can feed by having sex, like she did with Danus.

>...and there's a way besides consuming someone which both satisfies my hunger and pleasures both parties.
There is at least one another way too. Ema just needs to consume life essence from a sapient being to survive. The only non-lethal way we know of to get that besides sex is by blood. Blood contains a minor amount of life essence compared to eating a person's body and soul whole, but it's a not fatal if taken in safely small amounts. It can also be potentially taken from a large number of folks under the guise of gathering alchemical ingredients. So Oran could send out word he'd pay for people's blood a bit above market rate, then he'd draw blood only up to how much Ema could afford to pay him back plus his time and supplies. ...Though, this could bring Oran under suspicion of working for a vampire or engaging in illegal alchemical or magical acts. It'll depend on how vigilant the temples, guard and citizenry are about that kind of thing.

Now, the best way to satisfy Ema's hunger would be to eat a intelligent undead, like a vampire. They're often evil to the core and have perpetrated many vile, violent acts and injustices, so there's even less of a moral issue than with a irredeemably wicked mortal. It'd remove a danger to the innocent and the redeemably guilty, and it's not illegal to kill vampires and the like, so the guards won't get on Ema for it. The downside of hunting such undead is that they're already in hiding and know how to avoid detection, so getting a lead on them would be tough. Still, keeping a ear out for signs of their activity would be a good idea. Maybe Oran has heard something too.

Maybe it'd work better, maybe worse, but in conjunction with the blood Ema would definitely have even more non-lethally derived life essence to feed on in a day than either way alone. Might be enough to sate her, might be enough to slow her hunger down so she doesn't have to devour people nearly as often to survive.

It's also good to have multiple sources in case one or the other ebbs or is unavailable. Like, for example, how Danus' isn't up for sex today or tonight because his back is acting up from last night, or if Ema's ridden those she knows that are willing dry and they have to recover. (Though, there are alchemical means to speed that up.) And while Ema could theoretically go full on slut mode or work another of her forms as a prostitute to get her fill of life essence via sex, I doubt she would because it wouldn't feel right to her.

Tell him about that. As soon as he started thinking about doing something to the homeless people, his soul grew darker, which makes him smell more appetizing.

Turning around, you bend over against the barrier. While you were trying to make it look accidental and causal, you kind of go overboard with it and make it clear what you’re trying to do. Of course, it doesn’t seem to matter, as Oran is too flustered to really think about it to hard.

Ask him if that’s an invitation to come in and have sex? Because you’re more than willing to do so. And it would be nice if he’d remove this barrier so that you could comfortably walk in, instead of having to awkwardly force your way in.

Well, to be fair, you ARE teasing the poor bugger really good. The bard would be proud, Ema.
Well now what. Do we go on a date with him, or we convince him to dismantle the "repellent" so we can properly have fun?
We still have to go with the nomads.

Listen why don't you come on out and we can go walk the town and have a nice day in public so you feel safe. You can realize I am not a monster out to murder you and we can have a nice day.

Then if you play your cards right we can come back here and have a fun night. But its up to you.

"If you want this, you have to prove you want to be a good boy~"
"Anyways, can I come in now? I'm aware that your three heads are currently voting 2 against 1, but do try to focus long enough to lower the repellent barrier for me, would you?"

Stop rubbing your ass on the barrier so you won't fall down when it's lowered. Wouldn't be a very good move for your seduction act.

Regardless, he won't get your ass until he proves he wants to be a good boy. You ain't no ho and won't settle for anything less than one.

Look over your shoulder at him, glancing at the tent he's pitched in his clothes and grinning a little. "That "excited" already, cutie? Well, I hope I don't cause you more "excitement" than you can stand before we can share in it, hm~ Lemme know if you're getting too close, 'k."

Lightly bounce your rear against the barrier a couple times, then straighten up while still leaning your butt against the barrier. Ask Oran to remove it, then once it's gone back up while curling your tail around him, stopping short of your rear touching the tip of his "tent pole." "See, nothing bad happened." Turn around. "Now, may I hug and give you a kiss to start? And if you want to put your hand on my ass, or anywhere else, you can."

Hm... Thinking on it, it would be better if Ema didn't ask Oran to remove the barrier. However, I think instead of just going to the festival with him she should prove her claim she can get through the barrier. Poking her sword through it to scrape whatever makes the barrier off the door frame would make more sense to try first than suffering the pain of attempting to push her whole body through the barrier.

>Well, to be fair, you ARE teasing the poor bugger really good. The bard would be proud, Ema.
Having finally met someone that is less experienced than yourself, you can’t help but tease him a bit, no?
>We're not all that hungry anyways for some time, are we?
You can still go for a snack… and if you keep feeding yourself like this you might not need to eat someone later, right?

>Look over your shoulder at him, glancing at the tent he's pitched in his clothes and grinning a little.
He tries in vain to hide it with his one good arm, but it’s clear that he likes what he sees.
>Lightly bounce your rear against the barrier a couple times, and then straighten up while still leaning your butt against the barrier.
You watch as his snout follows each and every little moment you do down there, as he squirms and shudder each time you press yourself against the barrier anew. When you straighten yourself up again and get closer to him, you can almost feel the sheer heat from his blush.

Oran puts away the bottle he was holding before reaching out to you with a shaking hand. As he anxiously places it on your hip, you can outright feel his heart go crazy through the palm of his hand, even as his holding on to you like you were a delicate feather.

hmm, normally seduction is used to lure people to the dark side, I think this might be the first time I've seen it used to lure someone to do good. I mean I've heard of stories were someone becomes to hero to impress someone else in hopes it will blossom into something more but this is the first time I've seen someone straight up seducing someone to be a better person. Good job Ema.

But yeah, seeing how distracted he is right now, maybe you should basically spell out how his soul has darkened.

If he can move himself and parts of himself through the barrier then could you two get started out here while waiting for the barrier to fade then work your way to where ever this will climax.
>>
No. 888333 ID: 05ff2f

While you're thinking and speaking and waiting for the barrier to fade, widen your stance and slowly gyrate your hips against the barrier, pressing back to right before it starts hurting. Tell Oran that he can press more than just his hand against your clothed form if he wants, if he's careful not to go off prematurely. Hm... You'll have to remember to give him a show of stripping down once you two are inside, but have him take his own clothes off because you touching anywhere near his nethers will likely set him off. ...Though, you do have a interest in seeing how long you can tease him along before you go too far and he goes over the edge.

It's said that engaging in self-reflection and deep thought of how one's actions, even small ones, effect others positively or negatively is a vital part of becoming a better person and staying one. It is a practice not nearly enough people do, and apparently one Oran hasn't done either. He may have done things of minor evil but doesn't remember them because he hasn't thought them important enough to or that they are evil at all.

...Frankly, you don't have a conscious idea of the specifics of what your sense of smell considers good or evil. It's a instinctual thing for you, but the criteria had to have been set down a age ago, when the Swords were forged and imbued. Furthermore, you don't even know if a person can significantly turn their soul to be less evil (and tasty to you,) and if so then how they can do so. All of this is a subject that you ought to ask the Swords' spirit about and sift through the memories of the previous wielders for.

You can tell Oran what you've observed of your sense of innocence and wickedness. Like a few minutes ago when he was speaking and thinking about using homeless people in likely fatal test and experiments of your capabilities his soul grew darker and tastier smelling for a bit. Offer examples of people he knows and their degrees of good and evil you smell on them so he has a idea of what behavior and mindset is each. Danus and Drago are innocent and good souls; They smell like flowers to you, and are as inedible. Karn is roughly close to Oran's level. Now, Vivian, she smells as or more wicked than anyone else you've run across, her soul malicious and corrupt, full of jealousy, hatred and selfishness.

>>888304
Ah, but the thing is, a good person with a good soul acts selflessly to do good. If Oran acts good but it's out of a selfish desire for sex, that sounds like, while not evil, would go counter to cleansing his soul. Even if the effects around would do as much good as a purely good soul'd person, Oran's soul would not grow good-er.

The same issue comes up if Oran acts good out of fear, such as for his life as it looks like >>888302 is suggesting Ema jokingly threaten. Good acts done out of fear or by being forced to would not bring about a goodness in one's soul and a washing away of evil.

You’ve clearly not read enough erotic fiction! Why, you remember this book you had back home about a fair maiden and a vampire. He managed to use his innocent allure to seduce her from her evil undead ways and become mortal again… by putting it in her butt! Clearly just fiction, but still…
>If he can move himself and parts of himself through the barrier then could you two get started out here while waiting for the barrier to fade then work your way to where ever this will climax.

>Widen your stance and slowly gyrate your hips against the barrier, pressing back to right before it starts hurting.

>Tell Oran that he can press more than just his hand against your clothed form if he wants, if he's careful not to go off prematurely.

Say that you doubt that he would have mentioned those potions if he didn't have the thought they could be somehow part of what is tarnishing his and Karn's souls. So what is it about them, or selling them, that could be a source of their spiritual corrosion? Perhaps the potions are not what the buyers are expecting for their coin?

Well, whatever the reason, tell him that you will help him whatever way you can in identifying his soul's tarnish and cleaning it up. And Karn too, in a more discreet fashion. They just need to atone and make a sincere effort to right what they can of what they've done wrong. But that'll be for a bit later. You two have a more pressing matter to handle first.

Continue to slowly gyrate your hips as you look over your shoulder to say in a low voice that the barrier is gone, then slowly slip your tail down and around Oran's waist. Tell him that he's got some lovely hips as you slowly reach back to grab them. (All of this is done slowly so he has plenty of time to object so you can stop and also so he won't get startled.) Ask him if he could back up inside like this. Once you're in, close the door and then you two can get to figuring out how you're gonna do this thing. Does he have any preferences, perhaps?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

I was just thinking that because he’s got money problems, he wouldn’t be able to afford a Serpens bed and he has to sleep on a regular bed.

.....although, that brings up another question. If Ema is undead, does she need to breathe in order to stay alive? Because if she doesn’t need to breathe, then I think Ema can go into Oran’s Serpens bed, instead of a couch!

Hmm… to be pragmatic, he is probably more valuable alive then as lunch.
>Tell him that wouldn’t have worked anyways. Anything organic that goes in just disappears completely. There wouldn’t have been anything to pull back out.
Are you actually sure about that? You do seem to need a lot of time and quiet to actually digest something… so are they still inside you until then?
>He likely doesn't have a bed because he's a serpents and sleeps in a tub of water. Maybe he'll have a couch that'll work.
Oh right, they sleep in the water or something… wait, do you even need to breathe? Maybe you can do it under water? Hmm… kind of interesting thought, no?

>Turn around and Gently wrap your tail around his waist, like you’re giving him a hug, and under his arm, so that it’s still free and he doesn’t think you’re trying hurt him.
As you turn around to face him you can feel him stop breathing… and as your tail carefully wraps itself around him, he shudders at every last moment you do… but if it is out of excitement or fear, you cannot tell.

"Face it Oran, and think about what you've done. You've tarnished yourself, sold your services to bad men and done nothing to stand up to yourself before it was, to your mind, 'too late'. Going with the flow, accepting the easy solutions, the tempting solutions, is a weakness of yours, isn't it? We all face temptations - it's a common weakness and sometimes we conquer it and sometimes we don't."

Stroke your hand up and down his snake-bum a bit, push him gently into the room and close the door with your free hand.

"For example, right now I'm facing the temptation that you smell like a light snack. Fortunately for you, I like to think about what I'm doing and I honestly think you're cute, good-looking and just a bit lacking in empathy... you just don't think about what you do to others.

Then you need to make time! You can’t expect someone to change overnight! It’s going to take time for someone to make a significant change in their life!

Besides, Oran can’t stop sinning until you help remove the evil in his life that’s influencing him. You need to help remove the evil people that are forcing him to make these potions for them.

“Ah- Am I being unsexy? Sorry about that. I already decided a while ago not to eat you unless absolutely necessary, and I’m sure you’re not wrong when you say that there are still way worse people in this city than you; I actually have a nasty surprise in store for one such individual this afternoon, so I don’t strictly need to eat right now anyways. Honestly, since I can smell the sin whether you admit it or not, and considering you deny the sin despite knowing that... Well, getting you to say it out loud was meant to be more for you than for me, you know? I can tell that Danus did at least one very naughty thing in his past, and yet he’s just as pure and unappetizing as his son, so I guess my theory is that the first step to making yourself less tasty to me is admitting your faults, if not to me or the city guard, then at least to yourself?”

"They have their hooks in you, and for a reason. The mob is similar to a merchant corporation; it's full of people with various skills who have varying levels of animosity towards each other, but force themselves to work together to achieve the common goal of profit and development for self-benefit. And under the counter, they're busy backstabbing each other, with the higher-level employees usually coming out of top because of the resources they can throw at their assailants. Big suppliers lead to big profits, but if they decide to betray the mob then it's a huge hit; even deciding on a simple refusal to supply could lead to a pissed off demanding consumer base - and in the mob world, not being able to pay off law enforcement is a waterfall to war. No, they need fallbacks, dozens of meek homegrown traders who they know with certainty to be incapable of betrayal or refusal. They refuse to be merciful, no matter how much you give them, because they trust you - they trust that you will always supply them with what they need and do their dirty work, and never bite back, so long as they keep you in debt. They can't risk letting anyone go, or all the other traders will get ideas like 'collective farming unions'."

As you hand gently brushes against his scale while pushing him inside, you can feel him shaking under your touch… this time not out of excitement, but fear. His heart even jumps a few beats as the door closes behind you and you feel his breath become irregular.
>Kiss him on the mouth snout, then pull back and smile, showing teeth.
He doesn’t seem to appreciate your kiss, instead he tries his best to wriggle out of your grip, but his attempts are so pathetic he’s unable to do so even when you’re not actually holding on to him with any force.

>You clearly need to calm him down a bit, but how?
Let him run some tests and ask you some questions.

Why don’t you start by explaining to Oran your self imposed limits of your eating drink explain why you put those limits on yourself?

You can’t eat until you’re hungry again and you can only eat one person at a time.

Sure, there’s nothing stopping you from eating more than one person, but you refuse to do it because the more people at a time you eat, the harder it will be for you to satisfy your hunger. Eventually, you’ll lose control and run around eating anyone you can get your hands on, even the nice people that you wouldn’t normally eat! You’ll become the monster that Oran fears, which you don’t want to do. And that’s why you’re limiting yourself to one person at a time and only when you’re hungry.

Doing some science would likely calm him down. Offer to attempt to do the various things the book claims you can do, and allow him to make various magical measurements of you or your scales or blood or whatever.

Then, take up his offer. Enlist his help in setting up an ambush for the criminal scum - I'm sure a skilled alchemist such as him knows methods of creating rapid smoke-screens which would be quite useful, especially if more than a few criminals show up. Bring some rope and something to stick in their mouths, too - in case one of them deserves mercy but still needs to be restrained, or if you don't get all the information you need out of eating just one of them. A hostage is always more useful than a corpse, anyway.

Regardless, remember: Oran doesn't get the booty until he's devoted to becoming a good boy.

Uh, I'm not sure we have a complete list. Here's what was mentioned earlier:
>Apparently, you can pass through walls? And fly? Turn invisible, turn into animals, turn into objects and… um… eat people through any orifice?
Let's try the "pass through walls" thing, if it's convenient. Does he have an interior wall between two private rooms? Like a bathroom wall? Though I bet it'd work on a door, too.
I'd also like to test being able to fly; levitation is a good start.
Turning invisible is possible though I expect it's probably more like active camouflage. You can change your shape, makes sense for you to be able to change your color.

Turning into an animal is risky. You seem to inherit the mind of whatever you turn into, so...
>>

>Test things the book claimed you can do.
You already know for a fact that you can’t turn into plants or animals, since your swords already told you that (here: >>/questarch/868005 ). Though, maybe don’t tell him about your swords talking to you.

And your swords have told you multiple times ( here: >>/questarch/861762 and here: >>/questarch/870035 ) that you can create entirely new forms if you ingest enough life essence from a certain species. Which I think means that instead of looking like whoever you got that “donation” from, you could just make a form that’s from the same species, but look nothing like your “donator” at all.

Too bad you can’t test that with Oran right now, since he’s still too scared of you.

And I’m kinda thinking that if you have any of those other abilities, you’ll unlock those abilities the same way you learned how to use her swords properly.

Again, there’s kinda only one way to test that and unfortunately Oran ain’t in the mood for that right now.

There is another way to get life essence that Ema hasn't tried that she knows of: By consuming blood. She could ask Oran to draw a vial of his blood for her to drink. Then she can roughly compare how much life essence and progress towards being able to create a new form of a species to shapeshift into blood gives per volume relative to semen. ...I wonder how much the blood's life essence content correlates to its freshness.

>And I’m kinda thinking that if you have any of those other abilities, you’ll unlock those abilities the same way you learned how to use her swords properly.
Maybe, but I'm also thinking that it's possible some of those abilities written in the book are technically true but could only be done by a Elder Wraith that had either gone gluttonous and was bloated with life essence or was famished or starving. Like how Ema unleashed that mega paralytic touch on Vivian 'cause Ema got so hungry she lost control.

Good idea. We can still feed off him without encouraging his bad behavior by giving him sex/blowjobs. In fact, that should be Ema's verdict for him: because he knows what she is and isn't going to the guards, she won't kill him for his sins. However, he's still a bad boy and he will be making up for it by giving her his blood. If he ever becomes a good boy, then he gains access to her body on a regular basis.

Ask him what would be easiest/fastest to test and/or what he most wants to test, be it your abilities or biology.
To preempt a potential quip: No, he can't test anything regarding your genitalia until he's earned that.
And remove just your shirt - don't want your clothes getting in the way of SCIENCE, but he's not earned seeing you naked just yet.

>>889845
I approve of this sampling Oran's blood idea, for both science and our own reasons. Say that this will go towards earning him a gentle handjob later if he cooperates. No booty until he's a good boy, but I'm sure your hands will be more than enough for him.
This does bring to mind an intriguing question: If you transform into him, would you have both your arms, or be missing one?

I don't follow. Was he thinking of you changing shape to have an extra limb and cut that off or something? I guess you do regrow limbs but they don't remain intact when cut off.
Also tell him that your swords have some sort of guiding spirit in them. You're not sure why. It's the one that knows what you can or can't do, but doesn't seem to want to tell you everything.

As for levitation, try focusing on being lighter than air? For walking through walls you could try to imagine being insubstantial.

Ask Oran what the effect of drinking your blood, or similar undead's blood, would have on a living person or creature or even plant.

>2. Ask what he was referring to.
>Non-blood, claw or scale unique Elder Wraith substance that has not been documented as collected before that requires shape shifting but Oran is too shy to say what it is.
My bet is it's Elder Wraith semen and Oran was thinking of asking Ema to shift into a guy's form to provide a sample, but I can't be certain. Ema should ask Oran what he was interested in getting from her that he dismissed as a "stupid idea." If he hems and haws or obviously fibs then ask him to be honest and if he still isn't then ask if it was semen.

… … …yeah, no, this isn’t working. All this thinking of air just makes you… well, you can’t actually get gassy anymore, but still… it kind of feels like it.

But he’s the perfect shape to just gobble up and… eh, fine, you won’t eat him…
>Make absolutely sure the door is locked so nobody can barge in.
You’re pretty sure Oran locked the door right before he drew his blood. Probably don’t want to be caught with his pants down socializing with an undead.

>Alright, lick it up. See what happens.
As you suck up the few drops of blood handed to you, you can see Oran visibly cringe. Other than that, you guess it was a bit of a snack? You’ll need more of it, of course, you usually need to eat a body full of blood before being satisfied, but it’s a start?

Well this is interesting. He gets really worked up talking about his sexuality.
Try changing form, see how he reacts. And tell him that you can only do this with the people you already eaten. Also, it wouldn't hurt to tell him that your swords told you that you can somehow creat a diferent body combining the ones you already have.

Christ, every time it seems like there's something interesting to talk about he clams up.
If it's not semen, then it's your other fluids. Non-blood fluids. I guess you could give him a spit sample. There's vaginal fluid too but he has seriously not earned that. Put your clothes back on, if he doesn't have any tests to do and doesn't want to see you change shape there's no point.

Let's just go to the festival so he gets used to being around you. Maybe he'll have something interesting to say afterwards.

Also he could totally give more of his blood to you. He's got a lot of it, why is he being so selfish? A pint of blood would be perfectly safe.

Oran. When someone, especially a lady, asks a good boy a question, he doesn't dismiss it. He answers honestly. What kind of sample did he want?

Anyway, ask if he'd like to see you transform. Say that, besides your true self, you've only gained the form of a male Varkian. We ought keep quiet about the Vivian situation for now - don't bring up having her form for now. Probably not a good idea.
And I also just don't like dickgirls.

I think it would be a better idea to say that the only form she's comfortable showing him is the male varkian.

In all honesty, he would probably be happy that we have Vivian’s form, since that means that bitch got what she deserved and she’ll never harass his friend Karn ever again.

Besides, we already told him here: >>888674 , that Vivian smelled very delicious, so he’ll probably figure it out after a few days of Karn not being harassed anymore.

If I find one that’s as corrupt as the last person I ate, then yeah, probably.

But there’s another way. If I consume a large enough sample of Serpens protein, I could actually create a Serpens form without having to actually eat a person. Although, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to control what gender the created form will be.

>FORGET IT!
You can’t just call Justina a vampire and expect me to not ask about that! Explain why you think she’s a vampire.

She can’t be a vampire because if she was then she wouldn’t have needed to be rescued by me. She would’ve killed those highwaymen and sucked all of their blood out before I even got there! Also, she was out in the sun, something vampires can’t do.

>Oran wants to feed you vermin tied to string
.....ok, so if you had those vermin this entire time, why where you suggesting to try and feed me homeless people you were going to pay? Because the vermin are free and you wouldn’t have to pay them anything. Not to mention how your conscience will be guilt free if you end up unable to pull them back out.

>Do the experiment.....while naked?
Sure, might as well do the experiment, just to see what exactly happens.

And you’ll stay naked for him if he asks nicely.

.....since you’re tying strings to things, you might as well try this experiment with a piece of metal, just to see what happens. Make sure it’s something Oran won’t miss in case you can’t pull it back out.

>If I consume a large enough sample of Serpens protein, I could actually create a Serpens form without having to actually eat a person.
Better clarify that this isn't just for Serpens but for any sapient species, all the protein doesn't have to come from just one subject, and the form taken isn't restricted one, some or all of the forms of those the protein came from but can be any imagined (within the limits of the species.)

Hey, ask the swords just how much species-specific protein is needed to unlock taking any form of that species. Because Ema has eaten two whole Varks, which is a lot of Vark protein. Is that enough or not to unlock taking any Vark form? If not, then how much more will it take? A bit of Vark semen, eating another Vark or eating a bunch more? And it doesn't have to be semen protein or the like, does it? Because technically Ema swallowed all the semen in Vivian and Gev when she ate them and if that's not enough, then just how much is needed?

:SwordFoS: Which was used to create the forms in their liking. For less specific forms, you’ll not need as much protein.

ha, a random thought occurs to me. This would be a good time to see if you can absorb things though other orifices besides your mouth. You should ask Oran if you should try just to see if you can't fluster him a bit more.

But uh yeah, ask swords if you could eat animals or if that would be bad. I know they don't want you to just run around and eat everyone and become some kind of monster so I'm not sure if the devouring of animals is considered ok or not. Otherwise start with the metal if their is a problem.

If we’re gonna turn into Vivian, then we need to make it quick. I’d hate for Karn to burst into the room and see Oran, his best friend, doing something sexual with Vivian, his most hated enemy! That would cause one big misunderstanding!

Why do I think Karn is going to show up out of nowhere? Because the universe wants to make Ema’s life miserable aka Kaktus will do it for the hell of it.

>But when s-she saw that y-your b-battle prowess, she d-decided to turn you into a new t-thrall instead of e-eating you…thus why she befriended you!
But she couldn’t see, she was blindfolded.

Also, ask your Swords if you can be affected by mind control or if you could be turned into a thrall. If the answer is no, tell Oran that even if Justina was a vampire, which she’s not, then she couldn’t turn you into a thrall.

The rope you'll be using for these tests is organic, right? If so, that's going to be a issue. If you digest dead organic matter faster than living, the lizard could end up getting loose if the rope dissolves enough and it's thrashing about. Better first test the rope with a metal payload about as heavy as the lizard for the length of time Oran wants to leave the lizard in. If the rope breaks or looks unacceptably weakened when it's pulled back up, then metal wire or other non-organics may have to be used to lower the lizard in.

...Hm. Would your hand or arm be digested if you shoved it down your throat? Would your body consider it organic? If not, then maybe you could hold the lizard and shove that hand as far down your gullet as you can.

Also, get a bucket in case the metal or the lizard gets loose and falls into your gut. You might be able to puke 'em back up into that. The coins won't be so messy, but a partially digested critter would likely be messy and a bucket would be good to catch it.

>She’s p-pale, got red eyes and is unnaturally sexy! Also, s-she w-wears a really b-big hat!
Except for the "unnaturally sexy" part, that also sounds like characteristics of someone that's a albino.

>…oh? OH! I… err… g-guess t-that’s… err… r-right…
Better tell him that it has to be from more than one person, otherwise you'd only be able to change into that person's form. So, if he has had thoughts about you taking a Serpens form for him, you'll need more than just his donation. ...Well, unless he's thought about getting it on with a copy of himself.

>What do you mean Ema is "half Sakkilan"?
The sword means halfway to being able to take any Sakkilian form of Ema's choosing, (within limits, I assume,) rather than her base form or that of a Sakkilian she had devoured. It also means she could temporarily alter her base Ema form too. Change her face, frills, scale color, height, width, tail length, muscle and fat amount and location, and even her sex. She could see what she'd look like if she could pack on some weight. Or she could make her form even more sexy for the one she's laying with.

While the little lizard tries to struggle a bit, it doesn’t stand a chance as you easily gulp it down, string and all.

>This would be a good time to see if you can absorb things though other orifices besides your mouth.
If it’s still alive when you pull it out that might be the next test, yeah…
>Why do I think Karn is going to show up out of nowhere?
Why would Karn show up? The shop is closed and locked! And even if he had a key, he wouldn’t just barge in here without knocking or something first, right? After all, he has absolutely no reason to… fuck, you gave him a reason earlier today, didn’t you… welp, any second now…

What do you mean 'actually managed' to score? I am a veritable master of seduction you flamboyant squire. Now what's this about a letter?

If he pushes the issue, say Oran is trying to pull a tooth and doing an awful job. (do sakkillian teeth grow back?) Yes that's gambling on the lizard being digested if you end up pulling the string out in front of him; don't do that in any case. Doctor patient privilege, you little voyeur.

Oh, and ask him where he'll be at the festival.

Just say, “Hey! Do you mind?! Get out!” and then throw the stool you’re sitting on at him!

When he leaves, pull the lizard or what’s left of it out of your mouth. If the lizard was turned to mush, clean up the mess. Then get dressed and have Oran go open the door and let Karn back in.

If Karn asks why you were naked, tell him, “Striptease. Duh.”

If he asks about the rope, tell him that your mouth started hurting, so Oran was trying to help you pull a tooth out. And since you’re not missing a tooth, tell Karn that it didn’t work.

Then act all upset at Oran for not locking the door and tell him that you’re not in the mood anymore.....but you’re willing to overlook this if he takes you to the festival.

Then give Karn the same upset look and say, “And you! What was so important that you just let yourself into someone else’s home without even knocking?!”

When he reads the letter, act like it’s the first time you’re learning about it!

Since Karn knows you went to Vivian’s dojo last night, with money he gave you to pay for the lesson, if he asks you about anything that happened, tell him that you ended up not going after all, you were afraid you’d get arrested for breaking her beak after the way she spoke to Karn.

Since you turned into Vivian to control her guards and made them forget about Ema ever coming to the dojo, that’ll help your story of not actually going to Vivian’s dojo.

:EmaFoS: Well… then how about we talk about the festival? Any plans?
:KarnFoS: I meant that you might want to… never mind. I was going to go with Oran, if you really want to know.
:OranFoS: Err… a-about that…
:KarnFoS: Yeah, I can see that you’re busy. Still can’t believe you actually scored for once…

:EmaFoS: Wait, what did you mean 'actually managed' to score? I am a veritable master of seduction you flamboyant squire.
:KarnFoS: I was talking to Oran, not you dimwit.
:OranFoS: Err… I’m n-not that bad at p-picking up l-ladies…
:KarnFoS: Oran, have you ever actually managed to pick one up? Or even tried for that matter?
:OranFoS: Err…
:KarnFoS: See… I mean, it’s really simple if you’re as desperate as you seem to be. Just bathe for once and put on some nice clothes and I’m sure a strong, brave lady will have you slung over her shoulder before the night is over.
:OranFoS: It’s not that… it’s just… err…
:KarnFoS: Wait, don’t tell me… you’re actually… you know, I’ve always had my suspicions but… just so you know, I will support you no matter what.

:EmaFoS: What’s this about a letter?
:KarnFoS: It’s… private. Oran, if you mind?
:OranFoS: …r-right… I’ll be right back. Stay here? I guess?

And with that, the two of them leave the room to speak in private.

>When he leaves, pull the lizard or what’s left of it out of your mouth.
Strangely, pulling out the lizard doesn’t feel like puking as you thought it would, instead it just feels like… eating in reverse? The little guy even seems unharmed, besides being covered in spit and freaking the hell out. Huh, you guess you don’t actually digest until you meditate, then?
>Should we put our clothes back?
Hmmm… nah… more fun this way, heh…

Speaking of fun, you can actually hear Karn and Oran speaking now… you guess they’ve on their way back?
:KarnFoS: So I’m going to check around her place a bit… see if anyone else knows anything.
:OranFoS: Um… a-actually… err… c-can you s-stay for a bit?
:KarnFoS: …Oran, you have a naked lady waiting for you in the next room over, I’m not… wait, are you asking me to partake in a threesome or something?
:OranFoS: What? No! I mean… I don’t think she would… err…
:KarnFoS: Oh, please, have you ever heard a woman say no to something like that? Sex and violence is practically the only thing they have on their minds.
:OranFoS: Um… I didn’t… err… I mean…

Which door did they go through? Did they go through the door leading outside or did they go through a door leading into the next room? Because if they went outside, you should put your clothes on. But if they went into the next room, go in there naked.

When you go in there, tell them, “Since you guys are talking loud enough where I can hear you, then there’s no way this can be a private conversation, so I might as well be part of the conversation.”

Then start explaining things.

>Oran, is she…threatening you or something? Is she…forcing yourself on you!? You have to be honest with me, Oran.
“No, I’m not threatening him or forcing him. Although, I am disappointed in you, Oran. You should’ve just told me the truth and said that it was your first time. If I had known, I would’ve done a better job in trying to make your first time a bit more memorable.”

>…Vivian smelled good? What?
“Yes, she smelled good. Couldn’t you smell that perfume she was wearing when she came by your dojo?”

>Wait, wasn’t she at Vivian’s place last night!?
“No, I had changed my mind at the last second. It felt wrong to give her the money you let me borrow, after all the things she said about you. I’ve still got the money, so let me give it back to you.”

Since you turned into Vivian and used her ring to make her guards forget that you came to her dojo, it might be best to just pretend you never went there.

>Does she know what happened there?
“Wait, what happened over there?”

When he tells you, act like this is the first time you’ve heard of this and say, “Ok, now I’m glad I didn’t go over there. That bitch is crazy!”

.....also, isn’t it strange how Karn said that Drago was kinda cute? And with how he always sounds so angry when he talks about women, it kinda sounds like he might not be into women. Maybe he’s the one that’s into guys? Try mentioning that to him and ask him if he’s thought about asking Drago out on a date?

Throw on some clothes, go over there and ask if they're talking about you. Oran should start clamming up once you're there, at which point you can field Karn's questions. Just tell him you liked her perfume, but didn't get a chance to go to her dojo yet. You've been busy with other stuff. If he asks about the "science" tell him you'd rather not talk about it.

>digestion doesn't happen until you meditate/sleep
Well that's odd. Neither of your victims struggled after you swallowed them... there must be some sort of paralytic effect, or some sort of "bag of holding" effect where they're placed in a pocked dimension prior to digestion. Also eventually they suffocate.
...the latter explanation makes the most sense. No way was that bandit taking up space inside you that first day.

>>893443
This is a good idea; we can say we came here to ask Oran if it's possible to chemically influence people through smells. Turns out Viv is worried about what those two have been up to in their free time?

Then, you can claim the mood has been thoroughly ruined, and go. Tell Oran where he can meet you at the festival. Hopefully that'll be enough of a wedge that Oran won't feel like talking anymore.

"Look, Karn, this all got a bit out of hand. Oran here gave some not so subtle hints that he was interested in me, and I was curious enough to hint back, but I still wanted to find out what sort of person he is before going any further and it turns out he is also terrified of me. We've been talking about science experiments and awkwardly flirting and discussing the nature of morality this whole time, and you walked in at the most awkward possible moment. I'm sorry, I am not good at boys. Oran, can we start over or something? I would still like to try the festival with you, if you want."

Go out and just be fully honest.
"Oran, let me handle this."
turn to Karn, sighing in the process
"Since my ruse is holding as well as Oran's tongue, I shall be forward: I am an undead - a wraith, to be specific. I possess an innate sense of justice and can devour humanoids whole. I am sustained by consuming people or their semen. Oran and I were conducting experiments to test the limits of my abilities when you arrived. I realize I've just dropped a rather great deal of information onto you, so whatever questions you have, I will do my best to answer; I simply ask of you in return that you don't go to the guards, for I pose no threat to those who have not intentionally brought grievous harm unto others. I wish only for justice."

"And maybe to get laid a few times."

Honesty may not bring the greatest short-term results, but it's better than an even greater collapse in both plans and relations down the line.

Considering you didn’t get any bigger from eating either the bandit or Vivi, you can safely say that there’s something odd going on with your stomach.

Other than my clothes, these swords are the only things I own! They were passed down to me from my parents! In fact, they’re the only things that are left of my parents after they passed away.

Karn doesn’t have any reason to keep our secret. And in order to save Oran, his best friend, from us, he’ll either fight us or go running to the guards and send them after us!

:KarnFoS: Just like you proved it the last time with the tailor? No, Oran, you just read to many books, that’s all. Neither Ema, the tailor or the twins are vampires, for the goddesses’ sake.
:OranFoS: But I saw the twins feed once!
:KarnFoS: Really?
:OranFoS: Err… well, I heard from a friend who saw them feed? I mean… a friend of a… friend?
:KarnFoS: *Sigh* sorry about this, Ema.
:EmaFoS: Hey, no problem. I just humored him myself.
:KarnFoS: Thus the science, I see…

>Other than my clothes, these swords are the only things I own! They were passed down to me from my parents!
:KarnFoS: Even then, you can still leave them with Danus the innkeeper. I’m sure he will take good care of them. If anything, you’re probably at a higher risk at losing them walking around with them all the time.
>Is that a good enough reason for you or would you like to continue accusing me of trying to pick a fight with anyone that looks at me wrong?
:KarnFoS: Didn’t you threaten to punch me a minute ago?

>Geez Karn you're going to tell the blue chick about what a misfit you are, as if she couldn't possibly know what it's like?
:KarnFoS: Aren’t you more… you know… exotic?
:EmaFoS: Well, at my home village I was… then I came here and apparently someone want to harvest my body parts and sell them or something?
:KarnFoS: Err… wait, what? Really? That’s horrible! Why would they-
:OranFoS: Because she’s different and thus m-must h-have power inside her? It’s l-like albinos and s-stuff…

:KarnFoS: Shush, Oran.

>Wait, off topic and I'm sorry for changing the subject but why is there a cut on your arm?
:KarnFoS: Oh, this? It’s nothing, I just… well… someone threw another rock through my window and… well, I cut myself on the glass?
:OranFoS: What? Again?
:EmaFoS: You know, I’m kind of a bounty hunter… maybe I can help track down these vandals?
:KarnFoS: Wait, you? A bounty hunter?
:EmaFoS: …is that so hard to believe?
:KarnFoS: When we sparred you were barely able to swing your swords. I don’t see you as someone who would survive long as a bounty hunter.
:EmaFoS: Maybe I just didn’t give it my all?
:KarnFoS: Right… of course you didn’t…
:EmaFoS: Why, are you itching for a rematch?
:KarnFoS: Well, if you want one, the old bet still stands.

Hey, if Oran wants to watch us spar, I don't see why we shouldn't.

And sooner or later, you're going to have to reveal what you are to Karn. Perhaps after the sparring match, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the day after - but the more time you spend around someone, the more likely they are to discover your secret, and it'll be much better for you if you're the one doing the revealing than if others discover it on their own. Imagine if Oran had gone to the guards before you got here. You'd've been screwed, and not in the fun way like last night. Oran's clearly not good at keeping secrets - he's gonna let this spill to his best friend sooner or alter.
I say you tell Karn, with Oran around, after the sparring. I think we'll be fine as long as you adequately explain the situation. On the off chance he does freak out, he'll be worn out and won't have the energy to flee, giving you time to paralyze him and figure out a further plan of action.

>rematch with Karn?

Ask Oran if he’s sure he wants to watch you and Karn spar? You did promise you’d take him to the festival and you wouldn’t want him to miss out on anything that might not be there all day.

If you get a chance to whisper to Oran without Karn hearing you, then whisper to Oran, ”I understand that you’re still scared to be alone with me and you feel safer with Karn here with us, but please don’t tell him my secret. I don’t trust him enough to tell him that. But if you think he can be trusted, then I’ll think about it and I’ll let you know if you can tell him or not. So until then, please don’t say anything.”

You know they have… and you’re going to kick his ass!

Hmm… do you really have too? If you actually finish what you’ve come here for before he catches on… well…
>Oran's clearly not good at keeping secrets - he's gonna let this spill to his best friend sooner or alter.
Which you’ve already dealt with. You’ve already said he thinks you’re a wraith, but Karn doesn’t believe him. It’s like the old story about the girl who cried Wyvern, isn’t it?


>Ask Oran if he’s sure he wants to watch you and Karn spar? You did promise you’d take him to the festival and you wouldn’t want him to miss out on anything that might not be there all day.

:EmaFoS: …on the inside of your arm?
:KarnFoS: Yes. That’s the truth.
>Karn you are not being harassed, are you?
:KarnFoS: Ema, I just told you someone threw a rock through my window… heck, you’ve already gotten a good look at my abode. So, yes, I’m getting harassed.

:KarnFoS: They haven’t grown that bold… or stupid.
>If you need help, you can count on me. I mean it.
:KarnFoS: Hmm… don’t know what you can help with… but I do appreciate the gesture.
>A spar would be nice. Just not in Oran's storefront?
:KarnFoS: Of course not. We’ll spar at the same place as last time, with the same training weapons. After all, we’re to spar, not hurt each other.

>Do another sparring match. Show him how you improved.
The three of you head over to Karn’s training hall to spar, but you can’t help but notice that there’s a new hole in one of his windows that wasn’t there yesterday… and someone has written “FREAK” with big, bold red letters on his front door as well. Geez, you can’t tell if everyone is out to get him or if there’s just one very persistent person.

:KarnFoS: Are your ready? Same bet as last time?
:EmaFoS: The winner gets the loser?
:KarnFoS: The loser has to do what the winner wants them to do, whatever that is. I’m pretty sure I already know what you’re planning on asking me, seeing what you tried to do last time… and what with you constantly mentioning getting laid a while ago under your breath.
:EmaFoS: Well, you better prepare yourself then, because I’m not losing this time! I might have just been fooling around last time but now… now it’s on!
:KarnFoS: Of course you were… that reminds me, I never did cash in that bet, did I? Hmm…

You have the obvious advantage here. Not only do you know how he fights, he is also underestimating you. Even if his skills are greater than you, you can’t see how he can actually win this fight, so it’s less about how to win and more about how hard do you win?

A) Curb stomp him completely and humiliate him in front of Oran.
B) Make it seem a bit more even before defeating him.
C) Make it seem a bit more even before letting him win.
D) Let him humiliate you again… maybe you’re just into that?




:KarnFoS: No wonder you’re so desperate to get some! No man would be interesting in a weakling like you! I bet you can’t even please a man properly, probably need them do all the work while you just lie there!!
:EmaFoS:

F) Fuck him. HARD. Literally. Knock him down, rip off his clothes and breed him. Prove that you can please any man!

Remember how Karn said he was interested in seeing different fighting styles in action? How about we use a weapon that isn’t a sword? That way we can show him a different fighting style. I’m sure the memories of our past lives have used different weapons that aren’t the Swords, that way they wouldn’t be defenseless if were unable to use the Swords for some reason.

Also, to keep up the story of being a bounty hunter, then we should be able to use more than just our Swords. Because what kinda of bounty hunter would let themselves become predictable and only be able to use one type of weapon? A lame one, that’s who!

So, are there any nunchucks or tonfas you can use?

.....but if for some reason, we only have fighting styles that can use swords, then I’m really hoping one of those fighting styles can be Santoryu (aka 3 Sword Style)!

If we can’t even do that, then our past lives were extremely lame and I guess we can stick to the boring using a single sword fighting style.

>The loser has to do what the winner wants them to do, whatever that is. I’m pretty sure I already know what you’re planning on asking me, seeing what you tried to do last time…and what with you constantly mentioning getting laid a while ago under your breath.
Ha! The jokes on him then! When you win, you’re not gonna fuck him! That’ll surprise him!

In fact, how about you use your favor to have him come with you and Oran to the festival? That way you can have a man in each of your arms! Or, as >>893975 put it, you can have a dork hanging off each arm!

>How hard do you win?
A

Beat him, but don’t humiliate him. If he looks upset, then tell him that you think he’s a better teacher than Vivian, since he actually made an effort to show you a few things, but Vivian didn’t even try to teach you and instead went straight to offering to pay you to spy on Karn.

If he asks why you held back the first time, tell him that it makes bounty hunting easier if everyone thinks you’re an unskilled idiot that doesn’t know how to use a sword. It never fails to catch people off guard when you start fighting back.

It is? You can’t really say, as the only sex you’ve actually had so far is when Danus ploughed you so hard that you still walk with a limp… and that was fucking amazing… *sigh*…
>Fuck him and make Oran watch.
Hmm… a tempting punishment for both Oran and Karn but… hmm…
>Ha! The jokes on him then! When you win, you’re not gonna fuck him! That’ll surprise him!
Ha! Now that’s something he won’t expect! Then when he least expects it later… heh…

>Oh! Try not to fight like Vivi, you already consumed her, you know how she fights, and showing her style would be suspicious.
You’re pretty sure you can’t fight as Vivi unless you actually take her form… which would be an idiotic idea if you’ve ever had one.
>Let her have this one thing before you put her back in your "sex forms" folder.
Vivian is dead. She won’t get any satisfaction from beating Karn in any way or form, even if you’d want to pretend she would.

>He's still a really good fighter, and if he has a chance to regain his bearings after we catch him off guard there's a good chance he'll beat us toe-to-toe.
Hmm… you better make it quick then, take him down before he can catch his breath.
>Remember how Karn said he was interested in seeing different fighting styles in action? How about we use a weapon that isn’t a sword?
You’re a master of the blade and know many fighting styles using one, so you’re sure you can show him something new and exotic.
>I’m really hoping one of those fighting styles can be Santoryu (aka 3 Sword Style)!
Who would be stupid enough to use three swords!? Only a short-lived fool would ever try to actually duel wield two real blades, let alone three of them! Looking cool and actually surviving seems to be mutually exclusive for most people, geez…
>Are there any nunchucks or tonfas you can use?

:EmaFoS: That sounded better in my head… but have at thee!!!

Just as before, you lunge towards him… and once again, he effortlessly steps out of the way.

:OranFoS: Go Karn! She doesn’t stand a chance!

But this time you’re ready for his move. As he tries to grab you and use your momentum to throw you to the floor, you change your direction and make him lose his balance. You are actually impressed when you go down on him, as even with your superior strength he manages to keep up with you, but as your current fighting style forces him to be so close to you that he’s unable to use his sword properly he is fighting a losing battle.

:OranFoS: Come on Karn, I know you can do better than that!

As you dance around him, you can’t help but notice that he takes great care to admire your moments, as if he’s trying to learn from you even as he’s losing. But in the end, you never gave him a chance to recover, and thus ensured your victory.

I’m honestly shocked that your past lives only had single sword combat skills! Why didn’t any of them learn how to use different weapons in case they couldn’t use their swords?! They probably didn’t even have any unarmed combat skills!

That just means that as soon as you lose your swords, you’ll be defenseless!

Hold out your hand and offer to help him up.

Tell Karn to take his time getting ready.

Then when Karn leaves the room, go quietly talk to Oran and ask him why he was trying to tell Karn your secret?

After he gives you an answer, tell him, “If you think Karn can be trusted, then I might let you tell him later. But only when I think he can be trusted, understand? Until then, please don’t tell him anything.”

Also, don’t let this be a repeat of last night. Remember to bring your swords with you this time!

Remember, Oran said that Karn is helping him sell those potions that he’s being forced to make. So I think Karn is guilty of helping Oran do something bad and not doing anything to change it.

Considering you are currently a pair of swords and not a person, it’s not that surprising what kind of skills they would focus on.

I don't think Karn's the kind of guy who would go for flowers, and Oran has no use for chocolate. If you can't buy one of each to give to them the other way around, you'll need to buy a couple of something else. Ask the bard. Also actually wash up and make yourself presentable.

>aren’t you supposed to buy some flowers or something for them? Isn’t that what a proper lady usually does before a date? …or is it chocolate? Hmm…
Pretty sure Karn wouldn’t want anything manly, like flowers, and Oran doesn’t have a mouth to eat chocolate. You’ll have to think of something else.

How about some kind of jewelry? You could get Karn something with a little sword on it, since he runs a dojo, and you could get Oran something with a little potion bottle on it, since he’s an alchemist.

Whatever you buy for them, make sure it’s something that isn’t too expensive, since you’re buying last minute gifts for them.

You’ll also need to wash up and go buy some fancy festival clothes for you to wear.

You only have half an hour, limited funds and no idea where to get jewelry so… hmm… maybe there’s something cheap at the festival? They might have junk like that there?

You have no idea where Justina is at the moment. Heck, she’s probably already at the festival trying to get laid.

Hmm… maybe it would be for the best to not go all out… then again, you’re in the mood for some dick later so…
>Ema does still need to put on some better clothes and bathe herself.
You don’t have the time to really get any better clothes then those you already have… nor the time to bathe yourself. You guess you can clean off the worst from your face and hands at least? Hmm…

You’re lucky and there’s a festival booth not far from Karn’s place that are selling all kind of small gifts. Let’s see…

Flowers in different colors…
Perfumes with different fragrant…
Plushies in different shapes…
And candy in all kind of flavors, including chocolate, sweet and sour.
They even have those flavor drinks that’s like candy for Serpens an- is that candy in the shape of a female sexual organ!?

…maybe you shouldn’t buy those?

Is that the Serpens drink that you're talking about, or some different kind of candy? Maybe ask if they have a less conspicuous container? If you're talking about 2 different things the drink will be fine.

If there are any plushies that are related to vampires or the undead, get one for Oran & Get Karn some sour candy to match his attitude. Or

And being stingy and selfish with your coin is not.

You’re pretty sure Oran will give you dick no matter what you do… but do he deserve to give you dick, hmm? And Karn… you’re not even sure what he’s actually done yet so… gah, why can’t everyone be like Danus… or Drago… hmm… maybe Drago can give you some dick?
>No, don’t buy those naughty ones at all! You’ll only end up pissing off Karn!
Yeah, he’ll probably not appreciate the joke… and Oran would probably faint or something from getting them.

>If there are any plushies that are related to vampires or the undead, get one for Oran.
Sadly, people don’t seem to think undead and cute mix very well… or that a festival of life and food is a very fitting place for the undead. You can get a cute pumpkin instead but… it’s just isn’t the same, is it?
>Buy perfume for the stinky snake boy, and some scale polish for the accident prone lizard boy.
Cheap perfume and cheap scale polish… hopefully they’ll be good enough to mask Oran’s smell and Karn’s bruises.

Right, time to head back… you’ll just make a quick stop at the inn to clean up the worst from you and you’ll be off!

Luckily, even with the detour, you manage to catch Oran and Karn just as they are locking up the training hall.

You barely have the time to present them before they snatch them out of your hands.

:KarnFoS: Don’t look a gift wyvern in the mouth, Oran.

Ema, we talked about this already, Justice has nothing to do with eating, but to do what is right. So no, it might not deserve to get eaten, but a good "reprimend" might be necessary. And if it is constant harasmet, might actually be worth eaten, but i doubt it. A good scare might be enought.

I’d be more worried about them recognizing Ema and/or saying or doing something that gives her away as an undead!

Or even if they don’t recognize Ema, they might be selling some kind of anti undead thing that’ll hurt Ema if she gets too close! Sure, most of the things that are sold at festivals are fake, but there’s always a chance that it’s real! Hopefully Ema’s Swords will give her a warning if she’s getting close to something like that.

First nomads, then central plaza, then games - insert food when the boys are hungry.

Games last b/c you don't want to carry anything around all day 'sides these boys.


Relationship w/ Karn is a better idea than Oran.
Oran and you are both awkward and new to relationships - that won't be as enjoyable as a relationship with Karn would be, who, though we know not how experienced he is, is clearly more confident in himself than Oran.

Awkward (Oran) + awkward (you) = awkward for both you and Oran
Confident (Karn) + awkward (you) = you look cute to Karn, esp. considering his personality is similar to a more dominant, mammalian masculinity, where females are generally shier. Your awkwardness would likely be taken as a complement with him, whereas you'd just be confusing poor Oran.

Just ignore him for now. It would be extremely rude to both Karn and Oran if you ignore them in favor of talking to the scantily dressed man in the booth! And you already bought some perfume, so you can’t use that as an excuse to go over there either.

When you walk away from that guy’s booth, ask Karn and Oran what that was about? Do they know him? Don’t try to get any details if they don’t want to talk about it. Especially since this is supposed to be a date!

Either way, we will deal with this some other time, we are in a date now. Let's get some grub going.

>Should stop imagining them as food like we told you last time.
But he smells so yummy and you’re craving a bite! Just little one!
>They are trying to give us advice on how to take care of a big bad after all.
For selfish reasons, you’re sure… but as long as he’s helpful…

>Oooh now I get it! These little devils must have made some kind of deal with this man, most probably sold him some potions. Might have something to do with their tainted souls?
And he’s clearly some kind of addict… which means… wait, no, they can’t be selling drugs, can they? Oran is an alchemist, sure, but… drugs? Really?
>It would be extremely rude to both Karn and Oran if you ignore them in favor of talking to the scantily dressed man in the booth!
Not to mention talking about “dealing” with someone would probably ruin the mood as well…
>We will deal with this some other time, we are in a date now.
Right, you’ll deal with him later. Now, it’s date time and nothing else!

After filling your tummies with all kind of pumpkin tasting dishes, you’re finally ready to explore the rest of the Festival grounds. Of course, you don’t manage to get far before something catches Karn’s eye. It seems to Nomads had set up right next to the market, what with half their carts being stores themselves, and Karn seems rather excited when he spots the fortune teller tent at the center of it.

:KarnFoS: Oh! Let’s get our fortune told! Oran, you’re first!
:OranFoS: Huh? W-wait, why do I have to g-go first? You’re the one who wanted their fortune told!
:KarnFoS: Because I want to know what they say so I can mess up their reading.
:OranFoS: Oh… I… um… I think I g-get i- h-hey! D-don’t shove!
:KarnFoS: Get in there already, you dork!

And with that Oran disappears into the tent, leaving you and Karn in an awkward silence.

:EmaFoS: …so, what is the real reason for him to go first? So you could be alone with me?
:KarnFoS: You figured it out, huh?
:EmaFoS: …well, are you going to seduce me or…?
:KarnFoS: I was actually going to ask you a favor. You know, from the bet you lost?
:EmaFoS: Oh, right, that… um… and that favor is?
:KarnFoS: Hmm… how do I put this… this competition you mentioned… can you… let Oran win it?
:EmaFoS: Huh? Wasn’t that just a jest?
:KarnFoS: Jest or not, I want you to give Oran the night of his life.
:EmaFoS: Are you asking me to…?
:KarnFoS: I’m not asking you to actually sleep with him, just… show him a good time. Boost his confidence! Show that he can be desirable if he tries! Can you do that for me?

“.....huh. Looks like both of us used our favors to help Oran.”

When Karn asks what you’re talking about, tell him, “You saw how nervous he was earlier at his shop, he was shaking like a leaf. I got you to come with us because I figured he’d calm down a little if his best friend was here for moral support. I would’ve just asked you earlier, but I didn’t want to risk Oran hearing me, so I did the next best thing and used my favor to drag you here.”

Still, seeing what it does to people first hand… as for Karn… well, they are friends…

>I mean, wasn't that the plan to begin with?
:KarnFoS: Your plan is clearly to get us both in bed by the end of the day…
:EmaFoS: A girl can try, can’t she!?
:KarnFoS: Just… let him win your little competition and make him feel better about himself. As in, make sure he knows you desire him more than me, true or not, alright?
:EmaFoS: We’ll see…
>It's not like you wanted to be selfish and just have all the fun yourself.
:KarnFoS: Of course not, this is a date after all… but fun might just not be enough.
>I'll try my best, but the amount of social incompetence we both possess is just one cringy pick up line away from reaching critical dork.
:KarnFoS: And going critical dork might be just what he needs to overcome his shyness. Make him feel safe, Ema, and as an equal.

>...huh. Looks like both of us used our favors to help Oran.
:KarnFoS: Hmm… what do you mean?
:EmaFoS: You saw how nervous he was earlier at his shop, no? He was shaking like a leaf stuck in a storm!
:KarnFoS: …so you asked me to come with you to support him?
:EmaFoS: Exactly! And he won’t suspect a thing!
:KarnFoS: …and you didn’t do it because you wanted, as you said, a dork on each arm?
:EmaFoS: Well… I can’t deny I might have had my own reasons to ask you to come with us, true… but I mostly did it to calm Oran down.
:KarnFoS: Of course you did… but, thank you…
>Oh, ask what makes them friends. They seem very different.
:KarnFoS: We’re just two unpopular kids hanging out, you know…
:EmaFoS: So, friends since you were small?
:KarnFoS: That’s right. Oh, and while our main hobbies might not be the same, we have several other ones that align quite nicely.
:EmaFoS: Oh? And those are?
:KarnFoS: They… heh… are… you know, dork stuff.
:EmaFoS: Oh! Tell me!
:KarnFoS: I don’t… um… really- Oh, look, Oran’s back!

Oran is indeed coming out from the fortuneteller’s tent, but he seems a bit hesitant to return to you. In fact, he looks a bit shaken.

:OranFoS: Err… hi…
:KarnFoS: So, tell me what she said, so I know what to expect.
:OranFoS: Well… err…
:KarnFoS: Oh, and Ema, would you be so kind and get your fortune told next?

The pungent smell of spices and herbs washes over you as you enter the tent of the fortune teller. Its cloth walls are filled with all kind of trinkets and baubles while silken drapery hangs from the ceiling, obscuring your view and making the tent look bigger than it truly is.

In the corner of the tent, an old Varkian lady that you recognize as the fortune teller from your youth, though older, beckons for you to come closer.

…she smells delicious… almost like Vivi…

Well, she's either a career con artist, or knew the attack was coming and didn't tell anyone except her nomad friends. Would that explain the smell?

Tell her either she'll give you your fortune or your money back now, else you'll just have to come back later when her headache is gone.

Probably gonna want to eat her after the date. She recognizes you and she's absolutely full of sin. This is not a friend of justice.
I can't think of any way to eat her right now and get away with it, unfortunately.

That just confirms what Justina told you the other day: you’ve been dead for 10 years.

Remember the warning your Swords gave you when you first met Athena in Oran’s shop: “The purer the darkness, the more filling the meal will be. But, do take care…traces of darkness and darkness itself is not the same thing.”

So make sure it’s her you’re smelling and not just traces of someone else. You don’t want to make a mistake, do you?

Also, no eating her if you’re not hungry. You’ve done a good job of keeping your urges under control, so don’t mess it up now!

Another reason to not eat her is you still need ask her some questions.

>You’re…no, it can’t be…you’re supposed to be…
“Ma’am, the fact that you recognize me just proves to me that you might have some answers that I’m looking for. So can you please just answer some of my questions?”

She doesn’t know that you’re an undead yet. Or if she does know, she hasn’t said anything yet. So for the sake of being cautious, don’t tell her that you’re an undead!

quick, causally ask her about your old town and see how she reacts... and if it makes her smell any different.

Offer to rephrase; you weren't asking, you were demanding. Then seize her by the beak so she doesn't scream or make excuses. Explain that she won't need magical ability to see into the future to figure out the information you're after, you're more interested in the past, and she's going to tell you about it unless she wants that headache to get a lot worse. Explain you know that if she thinks you're supposed to be dead, that means she knew about what killed everybody you've known and loved and that she's going to tell you all the information she knows about the incident. If she doesn't feel like proverbially spilling her guts you'll spill her guts in the literal sense.

"I really don't appreciate it when people make such obviously false excuses..."

Grab her arm, use your paralysis.

"I really, really don't appreciate it when someone's likely involved in massacring my village..."

Lean in.

"So, you will tell me everything I want to know, and you just might get to walk out of here alive. I could kill you, right here, right now, and face no consequences for it, so don't test me. You feathered cunt."

Unless she's definitely on your side by the end of this, you'll have to eat her -using your paralysis will reveal that you're some kind of abnormality, if not a wraith.

It's rather unlikely that she would remember someone from 10 years ago who wasn't supposed to be a problem anymore, 'cause dead and all.She'd think we were a relative or something, since we didn't age at all since then.

It seems more like she thought a certain blue sakkilian wasn't supposed to be around anymore, due to a very recent kidnapping attempt by a certain blue varkian, and that's what has her rattled.

I think she's Vivianas accomplice.

And since Karn is going to want to know what your fortune was, you might as well tell him what it is, since it doesn’t mention anything about you that you want to keep secret.

Why would she know who Vivi is?
I think what happened was, she told a fortune to one of her Nomad friends (or her own fortune) that said to GTFO and so they all left, but she didn't tell the village, possibly because the vision told her that she would die if she did. She didn't try to save them, so their blood is on her hands, indirectly.

Ask her straight up if she got a vision of the attack before it happened, and that's why the nomads left. She didn't warn anyone? Why?
After that, you should leave her alone. I agree that killing her would not be justice, as she is no threat to anyone.

Or just explain to Drago you were about to go dancing but you're a partner short. I'm sure he'll volunteer a solution. In case Karn fucks up your attempts at playing cupid by grabbing Oran or yourself to dance, take Oran ostensibly so you don't step on anybody's toes.

>“Those that means you ill will face Justice, but beware. You are yourself in grave danger, and if you continue the path you’re on you will face the same Justice and lose your purity forever.”
That’s pretty much exactly what you told Oran in private earlier.

You’ll take care of the people forcing him to make those potions, but after that, if he continues his life without changing his behavior, you’ll come back for him and he’ll meet the same fate as the ones that were forcing him to do bad things.

So as long as he changes his lifestyle, he’ll have nothing to worry about. But let’s not talk about this right now. We’re trying to help Oran relax and have fun!

>No need to worry, Oran, fortune telling isn’t real. They are just making things up.
If only he knew how real these fortunes are.

>Um…the d-dance isn’t far b-but…err…k-kind of awkward to d-dance as three p-people so-
>A wild Drago suddenly appears!
I believe the answer to your unusual dancing numbers has just arrived!

>…you’re not sure Drago actually even looked in your direction, as he seems mesmerized by something else…
He’s quite obviously staring at Karn.

Why don’t you make a suggestion to everyone? You can take Oran as your dance partner, while Karn takes Drago as his dance partner. That way everyone gets a chance to dance and no one gets left out.

But make sure you wink at Karn and Drago when you say they should be dance partners. That way Karn knows you’re doing what he asked and letting Oran “win” and Drago will think you’re helping him out by getting him hooked up with Karn!

Actually, "Face the same Justice and lose your purity" sounds more like losing his virginity than his life. I mean, what else could it mean?

The purity of the soul, most likely. We care not if it is virgin or not, but if it is good or evil. Therefore, we should be talking about his soul. Unless, one's virginity determinates the state of the soul. The swords should know about this.

>That’s pretty much exactly what you told Oran in private earlier.
Either he changes his way, or he’ll end up in your tummy, it’s that simple.
>Sounds more like losing his virginity than his life. I mean, what else could it mean?
That his soul will lose its purity and that you will consume him for it. But it might also mean his other… um… purity. So… either he feeds you or he… feeds you… huh…

>He’s quite obviously staring at Karn.
…he’s actually staring at Karns bum. Quite blatantly as well… you can’t for the life of you understand why Karn haven’t noticed it yet, as it’s almost like he wants to be caught staring, geez…
>Looks like Drago likes dudes as well as ladies.
Hmm… you’re not sure you’ve actually seen him show interests in any lady as of yet, so… he’s just into men, then? Not that there is anything wrong with that or anything…


>Drago, how is your father doing?
:DragoFoS: Huh? Oh, he’s fine. Actually, he’s been happy all day and not his usually grumpy self.
:KarnFoS: Oh? So, he finally perked up, huh? That’s good to hear.
:DragoFoS: Though, he’s been hard at work to get the rest of the festival off. But speaking of the festival, what are you up to?
:OranFoS: Um… we were considering heading to the main plaza for a dance but… um…
:KarnFoS: We’re a bit of an odd group, with only one lady. Can’t properly dance as three people, can you?
>Quitter talk! You can waltz with your dates two abreast, you're big enough to make it work.
:KarnFoS: Really? Trust me, it’s a lot harder than it sounds to dance with two partners.
:OranFoS: Err… y-you know… why d-don’t the t-t-two of you dance and… um… I’ll j-just wait o-over there and-
:KarnFoS: Now that’s quitter talk. Come on, Oran, don’t give up now!
>Don't Serpens have dances for three people?
:OranFoS: Oh… um… well… y-you see…
:KarnFoS: Oran isn’t someone that’s… hmm… very well versed with the topic, Ema. Don’t expect him to know anything like that.
:DragoFoS: So… do you know how t-to dance, Karn?
:KarnFoS: Me? Well, I’ve taken a few courses, actually. Mostly to improve my footwork for fighting but still… of course, I’m more used to fighting than dancing, so I might just accidently start battle dancing or something, haha.
:DragoFoS: Hah, that sounds interesting. I’d really l-like to see that…
:KarnFoS: Well, I’m sure me and Ema can show off our moves for you, heh.

>You can take Oran as your dance partner, while Karn takes Drago as his dance partner. That way everyone gets a chance to dance and no one gets left out.
:KarnFoS: Huh? But I’m not into-
:EmaFoS: *Wink*
:KarnFoS: Oh… r-right… well, I guess we can change partners after each dance, can’t we? If y-you’re okay with… um… us dancing, Drago?
:DragoFoS: I’d love to, Karn.
:KarnFoS: Oh… um… t-then in that c-case… well… off we go?

As you start the leave the nomads, you can see Drago silently mouth “Thank you”.

:OranFoS: Err… so… um… are y-you a good dancer?
:EmaFoS: I know the basics, yes, but… well, never danced with someone lacking feet before… hmm…
:OranFoS: Um… well, I’ve… err… actually… um… never actually danced before…
:EmaFoS: Huh? Really? Never ever?
:OranFoS: N-never even… um… slithered over a… err… d-dance floor… so… um… m-maybe t-this wasn’t t-the best idea?

You arrive at the grand plaza and it’s already getting a bit crowded here, even if a bit early for dancing. There is a band playing music on a stage in the middle of it, and they are surrounded by several pairs already locked in dance, filling the center of the square.

The dance floor seems a bit crowded, but it’s the best place to hear the music and dance. Only problem is that you might bump into the other couples if Oran is as bad as he think he is.
Another option is to try and dance right outside the dance floor proper, but people might object if you start making to much of a scene there.
You could also slither off with him somewhere a bit more private to teach him to dance, but then you might not hear the music as well… hmm…

We ought to make it up to Karn later hahaha!

I say we take him somewere else to practice a little bit first, specially since he doesn't have two arms, nor legs. But not for too long, we don't want to let Karn and Drago al by themselfs.

>The dance floor is fine, just keep up your spacial awareness and don't lead him into other people.
Somehow, the two of you manages to do some sort of dance like movements, though it helps that the song they started playing was a calm one…

:EmaFoS: Your hand is supposed to be on my hip, not down there…
:OranFoS: S-sorry…

As for Karn and Drago… at least one of them seems to be having the time of his life while the other… well, you’re not sure if it’s skepticism or confusion on his face. As the songs ends and you prepare to change partners, the band actually steps down from the stage and the whole plaza grows quiet.

:EmaFoS: Huh? What’s going on?
:OranFoS: Oh, r-right, the tapping of the keg. On the first day of the festival the Baroness taps the first keg of mead from this year’s harvest before they start selling it.
:EmaFoS: Baroness?
:OranFoS: Y-yeah, the… err… ruler of this place, y-you know?

Even before you can see anyone, even while surrounded by people, you can still smell her. It drowns out all others around you, innocent and guilty alike, an aroma of pure, unfiltered evil. Far darker than anything you’ve ever felt before, you can feel her very essence chill you to the core.

:BaronessFoS: My good people, we are gathered here today-

It’s like love at first sight, because as soon as you lay your eyes on her you know the two of you are meant for each other. She is everything you desire… everything you’ve longed for… she is something you didn’t even know you wished for. A heart so dark and corrupted, there isn’t even a speck of light left…

:BaronessFoS: Blah blah blah harvest blah blah blah crop blah blah blah…

She belongs in your stomach! It’s her fate, her destiny! Her smell is driving you crazy, just the sight of her is driving you mad! You want her inside you as soon as possible! You want to purge that eternally dark souls of hers from this world!

:BaronessFoS: Blah blah blah and thus I tap this years first keg, as a sign of our continued prosperity.

You need her in your tummy, right now! Even if you have TO RIP HER GUARDS APART WITH YOUR BARE HANDS YOU NEED TO CONSUME HER BEFORE SHE GETS AWAY! EAT! FEAST! CONSUME! NOW! NOW! NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW-

:OranFoS: Ema? Are you alright?

No! Control yourself, Ema! You can’t eat her yet! Not with this many people here!

And even if she was alone, she probably has something to keep you away from her! In other words, you’re nowhere near strong enough to even think about going after her!

You need to work your way up the food chain first, progressively gaining strength until you’re strong enough to take her down! But until that time comes, the Baroness is off limits!

>Are you s-sure you’re alright? You’re…um…d-drooling a b-bit?
Quietly tell Oran that the Baroness is causing your “condition” to act up and you need to get away from her before you lose control.

>…you can see her, the baroness, looking straight at you… and licking her lips…
I wouldn’t at all be surprised if she’s the “devil hidden in plain sight” from your fortune. Which means that if she approaches you and asks you for three small favors, you must not accept any of them! Do not heed her suggestions, do not listen to her lies, and refuse to help her no matter what!

You need to distract yourself right now before you do something regrettable. Such high profile targets have their time and place and those are NOT here and now.
Ask Oran about his work, discuss interests and favourite pastimes, anything simple that distracts you right now. Don't try to seduce him, just dork around a little with him, that should calm you down.

>Also eating a baroness is going to be much harder to deal with seeing it will probably lead to a power vacuum and many death from nobles fighting for the spot up top.
Then you’ll simply eat whoever tries to take her spot through bloodshed! In fact, that’s a fantastic way to get more food, isn’t it? Eat one and suddenly several more meals appear? It’s like a buffet! A smörgårdsbord, but with people!

>Focus on Oran.
Yes, that’s right. If you can’t eat the Baroness right now, you’ll just have to gobble down Oran instead. He does look especially delicious right now, after all.

The twins she mentioned were some kind of nobles, right? So… it wouldn’t surprise you if they worked for the Baroness of the city, no.

>I wouldn’t at all be surprised if she’s the “devil hidden in plain sight” from your fortune.
She does smell like a devil… but it could also be that weird thing that stole Hugo’s old mask. It asked you to get three stones, right? So, three favors, three stones, or…? But that was in the past, wasn’t it? Hmm…

Gah… you can’t go on like this for long, you need food. But… where…
You guess Oran is right here, he would be easy and quick to just gobble down. It would be like slurping down a piece of spaghetti and… heh… now you really want to try and eat a Serpent…
Oh, is that Justina you see over there, buying perfume from that man of the night you met earlier? She’s your emergency meat, isn’t she? Maybe you’ll just eat her instead?
Or maybe Oran can feed you in another way… but you’re not so sure. Heck, you might accidently just eat him in the throes of passions, but that would just mean the problem is solved, right?

If neither of those options work, then you're going to have to settle for Vivian I guess. She's not useful and you're not really friends either.

Explain to him that because of your condition, only 2 things can satisfy your hunger: Sinful people and sex.

Or he could point you in the direction of one of those people that are forcing him to make those potions. They’re the same people he was trying to get you to meet before, right? Just remember your 1 person limit!

:TunuFoS: If you ask me, something isn’t right here.
:TanaFoS: Stop worrying, Tunu. We’re just picking up some more bottles.

She’s become whinier and whinier lately…

:TunuFoS: Still, Tana… a delivery, at this time, at the start of the festival?
:TanaFoS: The festival means everyone is distracted, Tunu. Besides, we need those bottles, bad. The festival means more customers as well.
:TunuFoS: And if he went to the guards?
:TanaFoS: The guards won’t care. And he won’t dare… after all, I did hire you, no?
:TunuFoS: You hired me to carry things, not beat anyone up.

You hired her because she’s built like a freaking barn, looks really scary and you trust her. Why did she have to have freaking morals!?

:TanaFoS: I’m not sure about this, Tana… I mean, these bottles… I don’t think I want to sell them anymore…
:TunuFoS: They are harmless, trust me.
:TanaFoS: And that kidnapping of that poor blue girl you were talking about?
:TunuFoS: She got a bounty on her head.
:TanaFoS: Yeah… I looked that up and… well, I didn’t find anything about any bounty.
:TunuFoS: I’m not going to kidnap her, trust me.

I’m going to cut her into pieces, then sell her body parts and organs separately. Easier to find buyers that way.

:TanaFoS: Now stop whining and enter the sewers already. We can’t keep him waiting too long and we need those bottles today.
:TunuFoS: Still… I got a bad feeling about this… a really bad one…
:TanaFoS: I don’t care about your feelings, dammit.
:TunuFoS: Maybe I… I should just stay out here and keep watch?
:TanaFoS: Ugh…

Dammit, Tunu, I need you to carry the boxes! …and intimidate that freaking alchemist too! Though, he seems so easily intimated that he probably soil his pants if he sees a squirrel or something.
Either way, you need Tunu to help you and not… whatever she’s trying to do right now.

Tell her to deal with the cargo while you hustle the alchemist a little bit.

Say, way did you contracted a seemingly good person to do this kind of job? It looks kinda counterproductive to me. There is a lot of bad things that could happen with someone like that, even if she looks tough and scarry.

No! Once you start eating more than one person, it’ll make it harder for you to stop yourself from going wild and attacking everyone around you, both friends and foes! You’d become a monster and that’s not something a hero of Justice would do!

>Then I’ll get them while they go through the sewers…perfect.
Make sure you take off your clothes so that they don’t get ripped to shreds when you turn back into your original, bestial form to feast. You know, that same form you took when you attacked Vivian right here: >>/questarch/872793 ?

>[You now have control over Tana, the wannabe crime boss]
Since she seems to be the more evil one, let’s have her go in first.

If you wanna be a crime boss, then you’ve gotta lead by example! Go in and tell Tunu that you’re cutting her pay. And then you’ll make her slither herself back in there to get the goods!

Who are your usual buyers?
Tell her you'll go in first and check out the situation. She can wait at the entrance. If you don't come back out in 10 minutes she can go for help or something.
After all, it's possible that your alchemist captured someone for harvesting. If Tunu sees that she'll probably tell the guards.

>(looks like the pictures don't match the dialogue in at least one spot)
Tana and Tunu’s profile pictures are accidently switched in the third dialog, yes. Hopefully it’s not too confusing.

>Who are your usual buyers?
Anyone with coin. They are mostly lowlife creeps, but you’re pretty sure you got some more high profile buyers as well. So far you’ve been able to keep things anonymous, so you have no idea who’s buying what, just as they have no idea who you are.
>Say, why did you contract a seemingly good person to do this kind of job? It looks kinda counterproductive to me.
Because she’s the only one you got, that’s why. You have to play the dice that you rolled, no?
>If she continues to act like this, she might go to the guards herself!
Tunu will never stab you in the back like that. You’re basically Paramours by this point. But that’s the problem, you and her go way back, having the same brood mother and all, so she’s the only one you really trust anymore…
>After this, you might want to consider replacing her.
If it only was that easy. You can’t just go out and hire someone off the street and expect not to be stabbed in the back. What you need is more reliable connections… which you still lack… and have no idea how to actually get. Dammit, the books make it seems so easy!

>Send Tunu in to pick up the delivery. A real boss shows strength by punishing their underlings for questioning their methods.
That might be suitable punishment. But you can’t be certain that she won’t mess something up. You can’t be sure what might happen in there.
>It's possible that your alchemist captured someone for harvesting. If Tunu sees that she'll probably tell the guards.
Maybe he caught the blue girl? Maybe he wants to trade her for his own freedom? She’s probably worth way more than any bottles he might brew, at least in the short run.

>If you wanna be a crime boss, then you’ve gotta lead by example! Go in and tell Tunu that you’re cutting her pay.
:TanaFoS: Fine, if you’re going to be filthy coward then stay out here.
:TunuFoS: But I just-
:TanaFoS: And I’m cutting your pay!
:TunuFoS: But Tana, you know I’m saving up for-
:TanaFoS: Fine, fine, I’m not cutting your pay then… but you can forget about tonight then!
:TunuFoS: Aw, come on! But tonight is butt-
:TanaFoS: No buts! Or butts! And that’s final!
:TunuFoS: Aw…

What’s with her and laying eggs down there anyway? No matter, you’ve never really been into that stuff anyway. Now, to focus on what’s important! To get those freaking bottles already!

You slither down the sewer tunnels like you’ve done a thousand times before, though you haven’t done this alone in a long time. Hearing the vermin scamper off, fleeing from the light as you approach, you can’t help but be reminded of Tunu. She was always really jumpy down here, thinking that every last vermin was someone waiting to attack us. Hah, she even used to believe there was some man eating monster hiding down here, the fool.

But then again, maybe you were a bit too harsh on her? She is still one of the few real friends you have right now, isn’t she? Maybe you should just get someone else to do this work? Though then she’ll be out of a job, won’t she? *Sigh* you can’t just throw her out on the street and-

What was that? That was definitely something bigger than some vermin! Is someone-
There it was again. Someone is definitely down here with you… someone that doesn’t slither, either…

Right, calm down Tana… it’s not like there’s some monster down here… consider your options.
You can always just run for it, either back to Tunu or to that Alchemist.
You also have a knife, so if anyone would actually ambush you… well, maybe you can catch them by surprise if you pretend to not have noticed them?
Or you can just douse the lantern and hide… or run back. You’re pretty sure you’ve travel this way enough time to find your way in complete darkness…
…or maybe you have another option?

>Someone’s down here.
You sure it’s not an echo from either the alchemist or Tunu that you’re hearing? This tunnel looks like it could carry sound for a while, so you could just be hearing one of them doing something.

Of course it’s ridiculous! There’s nothing living down here other than vermin and insects! There aren’t any monsters, beast or undead lurking down h- What was that!? You know you heard something just now!

Who would come down in the old sewers!? On the day of the festival to boot?

It sounded like someone running, not slithering! Both Tunu and that alchemist bitch are Serpents, meaning they don’t have any legs to run with!

Ok, let's think for a moment. The alchimist told you that your potions are ready, in the middle of the festival. That is actually good and convinient for both of you. But he chained the gate. That is wierd. And you "think" you heard noices, and your friend here has a bad feeling about this interaction. I don't think that the alchimist has something to do with this, because he is scared of you, so he wouldn't back stab you just like that, he doesn't have the courage for that.

I’m betting Tunu told him to make the call early because she wanted to prank you on the day of the festival! She told him to keep the gate locked and Tunu has someone else in there running around and making noise! And now Tunu is hiding to scare you into thinking something got her!

Alright, now that you’ve figured it out, go slither back in there and tell Tunu that she did a good job at scaring you and you’ll admit that she did great in getting the alchemist to play along, but now the joke is over and it’s time to leave.

You swing behind you wildly with your dagger, hopping to hit whatever it is that Tunu saw, but the only thing you manage to hit is the stale, humid air.

He has a sword, so attacking him might not be the best idea but… you might take him by surprise. Or you can just run. Douse your lantern and run away into the darkness. You might find a way out somewhere else, r-right?

…or maybe… maybe you’ll just need to do as he says… and save Tunu… you can’t just l-leave her here… can you?

When he attacked Tunu he didn't have a light source, you would have seen him comming then, so whatever he is (Sewer.Zombie.), for some reason he doesn't need light to see. Dousing your lantern is only going to help him.

He took out Tunu with no apparent problem, so you won't be able to win a fight against him.

With your sister dazed and bound you can't just grab her and make a break for it, he's going to catch up with you in no time.

You can either leave Tunu, since he's apparently not interested in her (should have just left her), and run away by yourself, or, a bit more risky, convince him to let Tunu leave and then flee when you're alone with him. Be carful while lying to him, he seems to know some things about you.

Agree with him, drop the knife, and go with him. Then when he least expects it, you’ll kill him! That’ll prevent him from telling anyone else. And when you go back to free Tunu, tell her that you had to kill that guy to save her.

If she asks about that guy calling you a murderer, tell her that you’ve never killed anyone before and you have no idea what he was talking about.

He wasn’t expecting her to fight back and is barely able to raise his sword to protect himself before she crashes into him hard. Luckily, she only hits the blunt side of his sword, but sadly, she still seems rather dazed from the hit.

You throw the lantern right into the back of his stupid freaking head with enough force to break his fucking neck. You can hear the satisfying crack as his skull is crushed… or was that the lamp?

It’s hard to say, as you realize a bit too late that the lantern was your only source of light, thus as it breaks the room gets engulfed into complete darkness once again.

At least that fucking Varkian is dead… or at least bleeding to death… maybe you should go and stab the fuck out of him just to be sure. After all, the last one refused to stop moving until you’d stabbed him like ten times or something so-

Not only have the fight completely disoriented you, but you’re currently in an area of the sewers you’ve never been in before. Running away now in complete darkness will only ensure that you’ll get completely lost. Of course, that might be better than the alternative…
>You were supposed to run the moment the lantern impacted their head you moron.

>Throw the knife right between those glowing red targets.
With your skills in knife throwing, that is to say your complete lack of one, combined with the complete darkness equals a pretty slim chance of hitting anything. Hell, with your luck, you’ll probably hit Tunu or something.

:TunuFoS: Tana... please… save y-yourself…
:EmaFoS: Ah, there you are, Tana…
>Stab the limb that crashed into the ground! It's the only part of the beast that you can locate reliably.
You swing your dagger in the direction of where her limbs were just a moment ago. The dagger slashes flesh and you hear her hiss in pain, but you don’t manage to stab into her… whatever it was. In retaliation, she swings her arm widely, and though she doesn’t manage to properly hit you, she manages to knock the dagger out of your hand, but at the cost of hurting herself even more.
>Jump on that thing and try to wrap your tail around its neck so that you can choke it to death!
With her distracted by her new wound, you charge towards her, jumping onto her and start trying to choke her. You were expecting something huge, a massive beast, but instead she seems to be no bigger than a normal person.

Ema, I hope you realize that this is your fault. Instead of wasting time and playing with your food by asking her how she wants to get eaten, you should’ve just immediately shoved her into your mouth when you brought her back here! Then you would’ve already eaten Tana by the time Karn showed up and he wouldn’t have seen anything!

So let this be a lesson for the future: Don't play with your food, just shove them into your mouth before someone randomly walks in and sees you!

Anyways, just finish swallowing Tana so that you can speak and quickly tell Karn, “Oran and I can explain if you’ll just let us!”

Or if he looks like he’s going to run, then you should be able to quickly catch him and paralyze him before he gets away! Then drag him back into the room, tie him up, and gag him. You’ll be able to calmly explain things to him like this. Hopefully, you won’t need to do that, but it is an option.

If it seems like he's going to go to the guards then you can tell him if he tries that you'll just expose Oran and him for drug dealing, and say they're accusing you of being a wraith to silence you.

Ema, if you can hear bones cracking on impact, then that does not bode as well as you think it will for her living. For example, if a broken rib punctures a lung Tunu'll could bleed out internally or drown in her own blood. And even if Tunu doesn't die, just being temporarily incapacitated she could be beset by a hostile creature or hungry animal down there. You better put on your to-do list for after dealing with Karn to figure out how to get Tunu checked on, make sure she gets out of the sewers and is treated if need be so her death won't possibly end up on your head.

But he did lock the door… and this room is hidden as well. But apparently the one person who knows how to get here and have the key just happened to see the signal for your food and come here as well!

>Adopt a sexy pose, act like nothing is wrong.
If you can’t strike a pose that a pent up virgin like Oran would like, you’ll probably not be able to do so while having your mouth full of food. Especially not with this body covering cloak on… but then again, you’re almost naked under it so if you threw it off… hmm…
>Then offer Karn a turn.
…why do you have a feeling he won’t react well being offered to be eaten alive?


>Hold up a finger and swallow the girl.
You hold up a finger towards Karn, signaling to him to hold on a moment as you start slurping down Tana to her doom. Dammit, you really wanted to take the time and enjoy this, as her Serpent body really was made for this…
:TanaFoS: [small]What the fuck is going on!? Where I am!?[/small
>Then ask "What?" All innocent like.
:EmaFoS: What? Is there something on my face? W-wait, where did y-you get that sword from-

Almost faster than you can react, Karn has picked up your longer sword that you left here and is charging towards you.

Your first instinct is to dodge out of the way, but the swords tell to hold, to let him hit you. Karn plunges the sword through your chest, piercing your core, and would, on normal circumstances, have killed you. Instead the blade passes through you harmlessly, not counting the holes in made in your clothes, as apparently a wraith’s blade can’t hurt itself? Or you can choose who to harm or something!? What you’re sure of is that you almost got a heart attack from thinking for a second that he actually killed you. Freaking swords…

:SwordFoS: Your true self, the blade, is unable to affect the illusion that is your body.
:EmaFoS: (You could have told me that before you scared me half to death, dammit!)

:EmaFoS: Aw man, I just bought this cloak and it’s already ruined…
:KarnFoS: Wha- Y-you’re not dead!?
:EmaFoS: Of course not, silly. You can’t kill a Wraith with herself, can you?
:KarnFoS: B-but… I…

You grab his hands that are wielding the blade, holding him in place. He tries to tug his hands free, but quickly realize that it’s useless. Looking back towards Oran for help, his heart visibly sinks as he sees that the snake isn’t helping him, then he looks back at you with pleading eyes.

:KarnFoS: Err… p-parley!? Ema, p-please…?
:EmaFoS: Don’t worry, I want to talk.
:TanaFoS: It’s slimy and t-tight and… l-let me out!

Cracking bones? That was just the old stones cracking, not her bones. Only someone who hasn’t heard bone cracks before would mistake it for that… at least, that’s what your swords told you? Maybe you should check on her, just in case… you don’t want her to die.

I guess this answers one of Oran’s questions, people you eat are still alive until you decide to digest them.

>>898973

Speaking of which, give Karn a warning about the Baroness being the most evil person you’ve smelled ever since you got here and he should be careful around her.

Tell them both to stop enjoying what’s happening to Tana, it’s not helping their souls.

>>898974
>I guess I can do or say something Vivi would never do…um…give me a second to come up with something.
That’s easy, just tell him that you think he’s a skilled swordsman and he doesn’t deserve having his dojo vandalized all the time.

.....it might also help if you hit on him a little, since that’s obviously something Vivian would never do.

>A deal! I’m w-willing to m-make a deal! I k-know some b-bad people for y-you to eat! If y-you s-spit me out, I’ll t-take you to them!
No making deals with her. Just digest her and shut her up already.

Anyways, after you get Karn to calm down, just explain the same things to him that you explained to Oran: your self imposed limit of eating 1 person at a time when you get hungry and the ability to turn into anyone you’ve eaten. Also, regular food, although still enjoyable, doesn’t satisfy your hunger and you can only be satisfied by 2 things: Sinful people and sex.

Then explain to Karn that you honestly were trying to help Oran and you were going to feed off of him by having sex with with him, but then after seeing the Baroness and smelling her evil soul, you had to quickly eat someone evil before you lost control of yourself, so that’s why all of this is happening.

Oh for the Gods, you two are not helping your situation. Karn, every time that you want to hit Oran, every time you wish to harm someone for selfish reasons, your soul get's more and more tainted, you have to stop!

AND you Tana, you were in a horrible position since the moment you kiled that child. What could you posibly do to redeem yourself?
I can just smell and catch those evil people with out your help. If you wnat to live, you have to find a change of heart. A really good one, because how you are right now, i am not letting you out.

Oh yeah, no point in spitting her out then, except to paralyze her, remove any metal objects on her person for easier digestion(and maybe even her clothes so we have a Serpens outfit), and shove her back in. Maybe Ema should try using her nose the second time. Good chance to experiment!

>>898974
You fully swallowed her yet she's still able to speak? Why was it different for the others? Is it because you didn't paralyze her? That would mean the paralysis is maintained somehow after you've swallowed someone. Also I guess this means you could use your stomach to safely hide a person.

How did you know she was a child murderer? Did you train your sense of smell when you were meditating? Can you tell what Karn and Oran's specific sins are now?
Also, getting angry at your friend lying to you is a sin? What? This is some serious thought police bullshit. You need to set some standards other than this hard-line "soul corruption" nonsense.

>something Vivi would never do/say
Well she could reveal that she has a dick. Or that males are superior, Karn is a better swordmaster than she is, that kind of thing.
Also you should probably explain that when you shapeshift, the individual's personality leaks into yours. The effect is stronger with a stronger personality like Vivian's.

>No you don’t! COME BACK HERE! Let me go, E-Ema, I need to punch t-that liar in the freaking face!
Karn, look at Oran’s missing arm. That is what happened to him last time he tried to water down anything to make it not addictive. The people he was making the potions for found out and sent someone to come in here and mess with something, which caused the accident that made Oran lose his arm. If that happened to you, would you attempt to water down the potions a second time?

Besides, look at it this way, I’m removing a bad influence on both of your lives, so now you guys don’t have an excuse to make these potions anymore. No more illegal activities from either of you.

>>898999
No, we are not letting her out!

>>899024
>You fully swallowed her yet she's still able to speak? Why was it different for the others?
It might be because she’s a Serpens. They don’t have mouths, yet they can still speak. That must be why we can still hear Tana talking.

>Just because I like girly things doesn’t mean I’m freaking gay!
Damn Karn don't be so cold, you're gonna break poor Drago's innocent heart.
Don't worry though, it's not gay if it's a 3 way. All you need to do is find a lady to protect your delicate notion of heterosexuality and you're good as gold.

Even more than this, having Tana's outfit will be good for impersonating Tana. Now, why would we want to impersonate Tana? To meet with Tunu and convince her that the two of 'em have to split up and the both of 'em have to go into hiding for Tunu's safety. That they have to because Tana has gotten in way over her head, beyond anything Tunu could protect her from, and she won't let Tunu get killed for what Tana did. Now, the reason to do all this is so Tunu doesn't come after Oran to squeeze him for who took Tana, since even a little thought would tell Tunu that Oran is involved somehow.

Ah, but there's one big risk to doing this: Serpens mind melding. If Tunu wants to mind meld with Tana one last time before they part, or to find out if what Tana is telling is the truth, then it all falls down when it's Ema's mind she meets. Is that a risk worth taking?

No, it’s not worth taking that risk. If there’s anything to be learned from this quest, it’s that NPCs have very inconvenient timing when it comes to walking in on Ema doing something.

For all we know, the moment we decide to spit Tana out, Tunu could show up and see Tana in Ema’s mouth either in the middle of being spat out or in the middle of being eaten again.

The last thing we need is another person discovering Ema’s secret. Let’s just digest her and be done with it already.

>If there’s anything to be learned from this quest, it’s that NPCs have very inconvenient timing when it comes to walking in on Ema doing something.
And besides that, Ema is crap at lying. She wouldn't be able to keep up the facade anyway. ...Well, maybe if she got most or all of Tana's personality and memories to use, but Vivian is the only one Ema got those from and she was much more evil than Tana. ...This does bring to mind a very real danger for if and when Ema consumes the baroness: The baroness being so massively evil that her personality and memories overwhelm Ema's, burying Ema's psyche, and the baroness taking control. Something to think on.

Anyway, however, if Tana has anything organic on her like notes, a address book or a ledger that'd be useful to figuring out who her higher ups or associates are, then digesting her will lose that. Perhaps if Ema regurgitated Tana somewhere totally private where Ema could bar and barricade the door that'd keep away any potential complications from intruders. Besides, Ema'd want to do that anyway to keep Tana contained once Tana's out. ...Though, it doesn't keep Tana quiet. It'd have to be somewhere soundproof. ...Oh, wait, Serpens speak with telepathy.

You don’t actually gain any memories, you just gain… well, feelings? Ideas? Um… you just kind of know some things your meal did, but not everything, so…

…she’s a Serpens. They use some kind of Telepathy thingy, don’t they? That’s why you can still hear her.

Their “voices” can’t really go through solid objects, and considering only you seem to be hearing Tana at the moment… you guess you’re Telepathy-proof?

She’s a what now? All you know is that she got blood on her hands, that is to say, she is responsible for someone’s death.

You’re pretty sure Karn is trying to commit a violent act against Oran. You know, maybe that’s why he’s so tasty smelling? He uses physical violence?

>Tell Karn your self-imposed limit of eating 1 person at a time when you get hungry and the ability to turn into anyone you’ve eaten. Also, regular food, although still enjoyable, doesn’t satisfy your hunger and you can only be satisfied by 2 things: Sinful people and sex.
:KarnFoS: Huh? Oh right, yes, you limit yourself to one cock a day…
:ViviFoS: …did any of you two actually listen to what I just said or are you to busy staring?
:OranFoS: Boobs?

:KarnFoS: I’m n-not st- I’m not into cock, dammit!

>Karn don't be so cold, you're gonna break poor Drago's innocent heart.
:KarnFoS: Drago can go find someone his own damn sexual orientation!
>Don't worry though, it's not gay if it's a 3 way. All you need to do is find a lady to protect your delicate notion of heterosexuality and you're good as gold.

Well Ema, you have to admit that you couldn't ever imagine this happening to you 10 years ago. Are you enjoying yourself?
Ok, personally i think that is enough bullying, you are going to traumatize poor Karn. Instead of him proving that he is or not gay, you should find a way to convince him that sex can actually feed you. What other benefits did having sex had, Swords?

>WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO FREAKING PROVE IT!?
You need to stop oogling my bulge harder than you did my true form in the nude, and stop imagining yourself as the catcher in a theoretical menage a trois. Joking! You'll have a chance to prove yourself later; I'll believe you if you don't hold Oran's hand while calling his name as you get your world rocked by yours truly. But first, I have strained our relationships by eating people and threatening the eating of people, so I will buy everyone food and win everyone prizes and we'll have a ga- GRAND old time at the fair!

So Oran is clearly attracted to his species' third gender and Karn is clearly attracted to your current form- what are the chances they're both tranny chasers?

And go check up on Oran before he gets taken hostage or something.

Change back to normal and tell him that he can have sex with you, but he’ll have to wait for his turn some other time, since you already said out loud that you were going to have sex with Oran today.....unless, Karn wants to join in with you and Oran? ( 0.=.< ) ~ <3

But, seriously, he doesn’t have to prove anything, you’re just having a little fun with him.

Anyways, tell Karn that you really do believe he’s a better teacher than Vivian was. He actually taught you a few things, but Vivian didn’t even teach you anything last night. In fact, all she did was tie you up and try to sell you off to someone to get your organs harvested since you were a Blue Sakkilian. That’s when you caught her off guard and ate her.

But enough about that. For now you and Karn should go with Oran to make sure Tunu doesn’t attack him or something.

Just calm down, the lot of you.
Karn's probably staring b/c he's surprised that Vivi had a dick. Turn back into your true form, get his mind off of it.
Now that he knows what you are, we can at least be fully honest in our future conversations with him.
But, before that, both of you go with Oran. He might need help or protection. If she cooperates... maybe try to hook 'em up. You sensed that she was a nice girl, after all. Oran's gonna need one of those if he's to be a good boy. If she doesn't initially cooperate, don't eat her. Try to calm her down. Use paralysis if necessary.

>I AM NOT GAY! FUCK YOU! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO FREAKING PROVE IT!?
"I mean, you could fuck me later if I manage to hook Oran up with the lady in the sewer. He'll need a good girl if he's to be a good boy, and I sensed quite little sin on her. Anyway, if you did that, you'd at least be bisexual."

I’m not entirely sure Oran would want to hook up with one of the people that were forcing him to make those potions. Even though we said that she’s more innocent than him, I don’t think that would make much of a difference.

Also, I think Tunu would believe finding Tana is more important than having sex with Oran. And judging from an earlier conversation between Tunu and Tana, Tunu is more interested in races that have butts so that she can put eggs in them. Both Ema and Karn have confirmed than Oran doesn’t have a butt, so he probably doesn’t have a chance of hooking up with Tunu.

1. She was just following orders. As we can tell from her soul, she's not a bad person. For all we know, she didn't want to do this and only did so because she felt Tana was the only person she could trust.
2. Oran likes dominant women.
3. He's still got holes to put things in, I'm sure. Having the booty is different to having an anus, and Tana's dialogue in >>897374 suggests that she does have an anus.

>You said "blood of a youth as well". Do you not remember saying that?
Oh yeah… you were kind of lost in the moment then. All you know is that the blood was of someone young, someone younger than you, at least, but an actual child? Maybe someone that just came of age sounds more plausible… but no matter, child killer or not, Tana has been dealt with.
>What other benefits did having sex had, Swords?
You’ll gain new forms as you collect “protein”… and speaking of Karn, you’re apparently very close at getting a new Sakkilian form.

>So Oran is clearly attracted to his species' third gender and Karn is clearly attracted to your current form- what are the chances they're both tranny chasers?
You’re pretty sure it’s the norm for Serpents to be attracted to at least two genders, so both females and males should be attracted to ladies with equipment? As for Karn… he does seem to have a thing for cock, at least?
>Just lie on the bed and let him decide if he wants free sex.

You’re not sure how you’re doing it, but you seem to be playing him like a fiddle? Either that, or you’re about to be thrown off a pair or something because you made him to mad.

>And go check up on Oran before he gets taken hostage or something.
Hostage? By who? The only one down there is Tunu, and she wouldn’t have any reason to grab him, would she? Hmm… then again, he might get into trouble…
>Ema, put your clothes back on and take off that cloak.
Wait, where did you put your clothes again? You’re pretty sure it was over there? Did Oran move them? Also, speaking of Oran, he took the only lantern that was down here, which means you’ll either need to run after him right away or try and find him in complete darkness…

A rope he says, well, that can be done. You just have to search very thoroughly. And that means you have to turn around, and wobble your butt while looking for a rope, or something like that. Don't forget to bend over, that is the most important part!

I believe he’s got some pent up aggression towards Vivian and now that she’s dead, he can’t take it out on her, so he’s willing to use you in Vivian’s form as a substitute.

In other words, he might just repeatedly punch you to get revenge on Vivian for everything she did to him.

>Hmm…then again, he might get into trouble…
He’s also easy to intimidate into saying things he shouldn’t be saying when he gets scared.

>Also, speaking of Oran, he took the only lantern that was down here, which means you’ll either need to run after him right away or try and find him in complete darkness…
You’ve got a nose for smelling souls, follow that to find Oran and/or Tunu in the darkness.

And both Ema and Karn agreed that Ema should let Oran “win” that competition between him and Karn, even though Ema was just joking about that.

>He'd be upset to find he'd been left out, don't you agree?
Not only that, but Karn wanted us to help boost Oran’s confidence and show him that he can be desirable if he tries!

If Oran comes back and finds Ema and Karn having sex, that might end up lowering his already low confidence.

"Okay, Karn, while your hardcore, hypermasculine heterosexuality was cute as a start, you have to realize that at this point you're just deceiving yourself. That's really not healthy. You should keep an open mind not just outwards, but inwards as well. We're hardly going to judge you for that; that's probably some other undead revenant's job or something. You like it up the butt; that's perfectly fine. Perhaps not something to go shouting off the rooftops, but nothing to feel this ashamed over. You might find that you're attracted to more than just the dicks attached to guys if you give it some actual, serious thought rather than dismissing it out of turn because 'you only like girls'."

The teasing should probably stop at this point to show that it's actually something serious, and not another attempt at embarrassing him.

No. 899696 ID: b1b4f3

I don't think we should keep poking Karn about possibly liking dudes. Baby steps- it's not gay to like stuff up the butt, dildos are just objects. Straight men can like that when a woman does it, but not when a man does it.

Also, he can abuse Vivi's body as much as he wants, so long as he doesn't start seriously hurting you. Choking is fine(you don't need to breathe anyway). Slapping is fine. Spanking is fine.

No. 899902 ID: cc01a6

1.You shouldn't tease someone into sex in order to "prove" something, Ema. That's wrong.
2. Guys don't always control when they get hard, and, again, you have Vivi's tits out. I'm sure Karn has had fantasies about fucking her into submission, but that doesn't mean he wants to do that in reality.
3. Getting an erection while angry does not imply attraction - the increased heart rate and the like can easily result in getting hard.
4. Look at his eyes - he's staring at your tits, not your dick.
5. For all you know, he's playing you like a damn fiddle. He might just tie you up and leave you there.

6. Turn back into Ema.
7. Tell Karn you won't judge him on whom he's attracted to as long as it's between two consenting adults. You are, after all, an undead aberration that feasts on people and jizz; you're in no place to judge someone's attractions as "weird".
8. Follow this with a kiss on the snout.
9. Go after Oran, yell for him to wait up. Yes. Do this nude.

>But HOW? Last time we were trying to figure out what did Karn and Oran did wrong, and now you just discover it without even doubting!
You’re not sure, but the one thing you can feel is if someone is responsible for a death. There’s just this… extra spice to their smell… like if you added garlic or something. That’s why you can’t tell what Karn or Oran has done, because whatever it is, it isn’t murder.
>You’ve got a nose for smelling souls, follow that to find Oran and/or Tunu in the darkness.
They don’t leave a trail for you to follow. You’re not a wolfhound or anything. You can only smell those that are next to you.

The very same rope Tana cut to pieces? Which parts are currently lying in a pool of slime somewhere in a sewer?

Heh, Let’s go all in!


>It's not gay to like stuff up the butt, dildos are just objects. Straight men can like that when a woman does it, but not when a man does it.
:KarnFoS: That… true. You’re right! Just because I love having pretend cock up my arse doesn’t mean I like men!
:ViviFoS: And just because I want to plow that cute behind of yours like a fatherfucker doesn’t mean I’m necessarily into woman either.

:ViviFoS: Then I guess I’ll just need to look for them~
:KarnFoS: …oh.

>Stay nude. Bend over oran's nearest table as you pretend to look for your clothes. Give Karn a better view of what he could play with.
Deliberately making a show of it, you turn around and walk over to the closes table, making sure to sway your hips side to side and that your tail feathers are on full display as you do so. Slowly you start bending over the table to “search” through the cabinet on the other side of it, letting your leg glide slightly apart to not only show of your well-shaped behind, but also to let your hardening member hang in full view of Karn, it twitching a bit in anticipation of what to come. It doesn’t take long before you feel Karn pressing your body down hard into the table, his hips meeting yours as his still clothed hardon nestle itself between your cheeks.
:KarnFoS: *Growl* Be careful with your teasing, Vivi… I might just bite.
:ViviFoS: Heh… maybe that’s what I want? Hmm?
:KarnFoS: Oh? You want to get… hurt?
:ViviFoS: You know… you can abuse this body as much as you want, as long as you doesn’t do anything serious. Slapping… spanking… heh, choking... it’s not like I need to- *SLAP* VARK!
He slaps you hard across the ass, hard enough to probably leave a red mark on it. Using his right hand, he presses your head into the table to make sure you stay in place before he start to play around with your butt with his left.
:KarnFoS: Good… because I want to show you just how timid and manly of a woman you are.

>Tell him real women don't need rope to hold a man down and have their way.
:KarnFoS: Heh, you’re right again. A weak girl like you Vivi is easy to subdue...

>Is he a woman or would he rather bend over and get fucked get thrown to the floor and be ridden like a bitch by Vivian yet again?

[You now have control over Karn, the horny / frustrated (Horated? Frustorny?) weapon master.]

Grabbing her with both hands, you swing her over your shoulder in one swell motion, leaving her upper body hanging over your back. As she tries to formulate some kind of protest, you slap her hard across her arse once again to keep her quiet and instead making her yelp.

:KarnFoS: Now, ”Lady”, time to show you who the real man here is.
:ViviFoS: W-wait just one second, Karn.
:KarnFoS: Huh? What?
:ViviFoS: I kind of made a promise to show Oran a good time. He'd be upset to find he'd been left out, don't you agree?
:KarnFoS: …well, then he’ll just have to be content with my sloppy seconds!
:ViviFoS: You really think he would like that?
:KarnFoS: Trust me, I’m pretty sure he got a thing for well lubricated holes. It’s a Serpent thing, I believe?
:ViviFoS: Oh, and didn’t we both agree to let Oran “win” that competition between him and you? To boost his confidence?
:KarnFoS: He can still win, can’t he? Just because I got to the final lap before him doesn’t mean he can’t come first.
:ViviFoS: Wait, come first as in…?
:KarnFoS: I meant that you can make sure he thinks he’s a better fuck than I ever was, true or not. Having a lady think you’re a better fuck then someone with a ton more experience would be a huge confidence boost if anything, even if you fucked her second.
:ViviFoS: Hmm… I guess that’s on- *SLAP* VARK!

Here you stand, with the person you hate the most hanging off your shoulder naked. You can feel her cock twitch in anticipation of burying itself balls deep into your arse. The question is just how? Oran does have a guest room with a normal bed. You can just carry her there, throw her onto bed and start riding her. Or you can just throw her onto a table right here and have your way with her… or even drop her onto the floor? Oh! Or you can simple sit down in a chair, drape her over your knee and spank her until she admits man and woman can be equals!

…or maybe you could just lock her in the guest room, go get Oran and make it a threesome? Of course, you’re not sure how he will take having to “compete” with someone like you. Maybe the pressure will just make him blow way too soon? You can’t just let him take your spot, now can you? You really don’t want to miss this, because after all that teasing you need a cock in your ass right now!

Ehhh, i know that you are roleplaying and all, but, isn't it kind of fucked up to think of fucking someone that looks like someone else who is dead? This is Ema, not Vivi.
Also, i think you should take her someone else. I know you are really pent up, but being a good friend might save you from getting eaten.

Karn, just remember that this is Ema, not Vivian. You should make absolutely sure that you’ve got Ema’s permission to live out your fantasy of dominating Vivian, otherwise it’ll be considered rape.

>Where to fuck?
Go to the guest bedroom and use the floor in there. Take her cock up your butt like a woman!

And make sure you lock the door!

>Or you can simple sit down in a chair, drape her over your knee and spank her until she admits man and woman can be equals!
You wouldn’t get any satisfaction hearing her say that because it wouldn’t feel the same, since it’s not the real Vivian saying that.

But if close enough is good enough for you, then yeah, go ahead and do that to Ema if you want to.

>You should make absolutely sure that you’ve got Ema’s permission to live out your fantasy of dominating Vivian.
She’s clearly stronger than you. If she wants you to stop she would easily force you too… or, you know, just ask you to stop. No means no and all that... even if most woman don’t understand that, talking from experience…
>I know that you are roleplaying and all, but, isn't it kind of fucked up to think of fucking someone that looks like someone else who is dead? This is Ema, not Vivi.
You keep forgetting that this means that Ema has… well… you really don’t like to think about it. Especially not right now.
>Kinda unfortunate for Ema to be wearing the face of the 'woman' that killed our mother and made our life a living hell.
Your mother isn’t dead. She just left. As much as Vivi likes to brag that she’s done horrible things to you, most of it is her just making crap up… or she’s just delusional, you’re not sure. Either way, your mother is fine, you just know it. As for making your life a living hell…
>Time to teach her what a hate-f*ck is.
Hell yeah!
>Well, to exert dominance over Vivi you would need to drive her into throes of ecstasy while keeping yourself lucid...
…oh, that’s evil. Perfect!


>Now they're asking for it. Slam her down onto the strongest table and start showing her how strong men can be.
You practically throw her down onto the table, her back hitting the surface of it hard. As you loom over her, holding her arms to her sides, she pretends to struggle a bit to get lose, but the huge smile on her beak betrays just how much she enjoys this.
:ViviFoS: So… what now, dork? Going to pound my cute little butt or what?
:KarnFoS: Oh, you really think I’m going to let you have this the way you want it?
:ViviFoS: Heh… and you think you can find a way that I don’t want?
>Play with her breasts. Get her to cum with nothing but gropes and lots of tit-sucking.
Using your left hand, you grab a hold of one of her breast and start to squeeze it. Rolling it around in your hand, you try and find some particular spot on it that’s extra sensitive.
:ViviFoS: R-really? This is it? Y-you’re going to play with my boobs?
Letting your tongue glide over her exposed chest, you give her nipple a long lick before you start sucking on it.
:ViviFoS: C-come on, e-enough of the foreplay, Karn, you fuck…
You “accidently” let your teeth nick her a bit as you move onto her other breast.
:ViviFoS: Ngg! H-hey, t-that almost hurt, y-you know…
>Spank her until she calls you Daddy.
*SLAP!* Your right hand comes down hard on her arse, sending ripples through her cheeks and making her hard cock wobble from the impact.

*Slap!*
:ViviFoS: AH! B-bad girl and I… I…

>This isn't the first time you haven't had Oran's best interests at heart, is it.
He’s a close friend, sure, but you can’t always do everything for him, can you? Sometimes, you just need to care for yourself for a little while… hmm… but then again… maybe you’ll just continue teasing Ema here until he gets back... and “give” her to him as a gift? Heh… you’re sure both of them would enjoy that.

When Oran gets back you’ll do that. He’ll get the honors to plow this bitch at the same time.

[You now have control over Oran, the scared and aroused (scaroused) Alchemist.]

What are you doing Oran? Running off alone into some dark dank sewers while Karn is freaking getting laid again!? …or he’s beating the shit out of Ema looking like Vivi. Hopefully Ema won’t clock him or something. He always did think he was the goddesses gift to women, even if he’s just as much a dork like you are… if a lot cuter, but oh well… *grumble* what you’d give to have a cute tush like his…

You don’t even like her… well, not true. You don’t like Tana. Tunu was mostly just… there. She did look scary… and you have to admit you did have a few bad dreams about her after the first time you two meet.

…then again, you’ve had more than one dream where she just pin you to your lab table and fill you to the brim with her eggs~

No, focus Oran! If you don’t you might get lost down here… dammit, how are you supposed to find someone in this maze of tunnels anyway? She’s probably not laying on the path they usually go, so she must-

Huh? What was that? Someone is talking?

"Hiding in the darkness"? That's someone looking for Tunu. You've got a lamp, you're not hiding at all.

Put out the lamp and slither a bit closer, quietly. Find out what the situation is and who else is here. You may have to outright save Tunu, not just check on her.
Do you have any potions for self defense? Or are you skilled in some other kind of weapon?

Do you have any way to psychically contact her? I still don't understand how your species work. Unless whatever is looking for you or Tunu is blind, they will find you if you have that lamp. If it's blind, you might get lucky and sneak around. Focus on finding Tunu.

The brave and possibly foolish thing to do would be to continue forwards and hope for the best.

The smart thing to do would be to go back and get Ema and/or Karn to come down here to help you because they know how to fight, which is something you suck at, even if you still had both of your arms.

Oran, get the fuck out of there. Why did you think going into the sewers alone was a good idea? Get at least one of your far more combat-adepts friends to come with you.

But, if you have to keep going, do your best to find the voice. Better you find the source than it sneak up on you.

And don't get distracted by sexy egg thoughts. That's a bad idea.
But trying to work up some courage to say you find her attractive and somewhat scary... no harm in that.

Sounds like that might be someone who was tailing Tana and Tunu when they entered the sewers and lost them. But really it could be anyone, which means they could turn out hostile or otherwise dangerous or troublesome to you. Even if they aren't, at the very least a confrontation will leave you hard pressed to explain your presence down here, especially while wearing your finest outfit. You have enough trouble in your life without risking getting tangled up in more. Better to head back and get Karn and/or Ema, since they can put up a fight. ...Also, interrupting them mid-sex will serve Ema right for sending you off alone and direction-less, like you're her errand boy, while she got it on with Karn.

Turn tail, but cut the light and feel your way back along the wall to the last intersection at a walking pace to keep your noise down. Then you can turn the lantern back on, get your bearings and hustle back to your lab.

Was there anything of note you could make out from that voice? Accent? Was it male, female or other sounding?

>dammit, how are you supposed to find someone in this maze of tunnels anyway?
Since Ema was the only one that was down here on two legs recently (as far as you know,) following any sakkilian or vark footprints in the muck on the tunnel floors starting from outside your secret lab's entrance would probably work.

There isn’t really a lot of muck down here, at least not any that hasn’t dried solid by now. So, no, no footprint around to follow.

Take care of he- You were here to get her out of the sewers, not kill her! Of course, maybe you can just leave her here and the problem will solve itself? You… um… “never found her” or something?
>Put out the lamp and slither a bit closer, quietly.
You only got one arm. Putting out and relighting a lamp is pretty freaking hard without two hands… at least, if you’re going to do it in the middle of a sewer… in the dark…
>Do you have any potions for self-defense? Or are you skilled in some other kind of weapon?
The only defense you currently have is a potion against the undead, but to use it you’ll need to drop the lantern… dammit, why didn’t you put on your working clothes!? Then you could have had the lantern hanging from your belt!

>You may have to outright save Tunu, not just check on her.

Also ask Tunu more about what happened down here(even though you know). Apologize for forgetting to unlock the gate.

Most likely, what will happen is that you will eventually catch sight of the snake, and then you'll have to comfort Tunu for the loss of Tana. Then she'll leave and you'll be FREE

NO!!! BAD ORAN!!! Don’t you remember what your fortune said?! If you continue down this path, you will also face Justice, just like Tana! Which means Ema will eat you!

So you are going to put a wall, not a door, over the entrance in your lab and never make those illegal potions ever again!

>Of course, maybe you can just leave her here and the problem will solve itself? You…um…“never found her” or something?
That’s also a bad thing to do, you’re only thinking of yourself!

What you should be doing is going back to get help! You’ll be able to get away from danger, but you’ll still be doing the right thing because you’re going to get people more capable of helping!

>>900270
>Your “engaging” conversation with Tunu is interrupted as you hear a loud hiss from behind you, before something skitter away into the darkness.
>You did hear some…clicking, you think? So…Hiver? Maybe?
I think it was coming after you because you were thinking selfish thoughts of continuing to make and sell those illegal potions and you were thinking about abandoning Tunu. Those selfish thoughts were making your soul turn darker, which allowed whatever that was to find you more easily.

In other words, your selfishness almost got you killed just now! If it wasn’t for Tunu showing up, you’d be dead! So, like Ema said, Tunu’s soul is somehow more pure than yours, which protected you from whatever that thing was!

Let this be a lesson: no more illegal potions! Instead, you should focus on making potions that’ll help people. Maybe even make potions that’ll cure people of the nasty side effects the illegal potions caused? Because if you’re helping people and fixing your mistakes, then your soul will become brighter and Ema won’t eat you!

>Tunu wants to follow whatever that was.
That’s a bad idea!

>(NONONONO! TELL HER NO ALREADY!) Um…
Weapons! Mention that neither of you have weapons! You guys should go back to your lab and get help from Karn, since he should have weapons in his dojo that we can use!

Also, no, this won’t be considered selfish and make your soul darker. By telling Tunu that you guys shouldn’t follow whatever that was, you’ll be saving her from getting attacked by whatever that is, which will be considered a good thing to do!

You want to save her, don’t you?

>>900273
>It's a literal snake
No, it’s not a literal snake. Look again: it’s a loud hiss followed by the sounds of something skittering away.

Now that big, strong Tunu is here you don't have to fear the sewer zombies, and you can pretend that it's you who's couragous. Let's do it like this, ask what happened and if Tunu found any signs that Tana was harmed (blood, viscera etc.) and when she says no claim that she must have escaped from the beast. If she says that Tana wouldn't just leave her behind point out that her ropes were cut and she must have lured the monster away so that Tunu could escape.

Oran, back-burner your horniness for the time being because you have more pressing matters. Whoever or whatever that was that was creepin' up on Tunu just gave you a potential out from Tunu suspecting your involvement in Tana's disappearance. Pursue the creature. If Tunu kills it before it can say anything, perfect. If Tunu fails and dies in the attempt, it'll be a shame but as long as you get away it'll be good enough. If y'all lose the creature, then Tunu'll probably keep coming back down here to hunt it down. Just as long as she obsesses on whatever creature that was and doesn't consider you were involved in Tana's disappearance, you're golden, provided you don't get killed by whatever that was.

Tell her you'll hold the lantern up while she leads the way so she'll have her hands free to fight. She does have a weapon, right? If not, y'all should swing by your lab and you'll get her one while she stands guard outside with the lantern. Also tell her that you have a anti-undead potion in your pocket that she should take, since you can't use it while your hand is full. Say you always suspected vampires or other undead were lurking about down here and that creature was likely one of 'em. It was driven off by just lantern light, so... Best guess is it's a starved vampire, but there's other intelligent undead that are light sensitive so no assurances. Anyway, tell Tunu how to use the anti-undead potion. Is it a salve that you apply that repulses undead or is it a offensive potion for dousing the undead in?

Now, don't get any ideas about holding the lantern behind your back to cast Tunu into shadow at a vital point when she's facing off against whatever this (most likely undead) creature is, allowing her to be slaughtered. That'd put her death on your head, which'll make your soul way more tasty smelling to Ema, putting the odds of your fate ending up down her gullet way higher. No killing Tunu, whether by your action or inaction, got it?

No. 900422 ID: 05ff2f

Before you jump to conclusions about what creature was stalking Tunu, run what you've observed through your knowledge of creatures undead and not undead and pick the most likely of them. First observation, it was able to talk and what it said made sense in this situation, so it wasn't just mimicking speech. That means it was almost certainly intelligent. Next, going by what it said it was unable to see in the dark, since if it could it would have spotted Tunu. Third, even the weak light of a lantern drove it off, so it's extremely photosensitive. Put it all together and what possibilities can you think of?

>NO!!! BAD ORAN!!! Don’t you remember what your fortune said?! If you continue down this path, you will also face Justice, just like Tana!
R-right… y-you can’t piss her off or you’ll end u-up as d-dinner… um… so… w-wait, didn’t t-the book say something a-about her disappearing after s-she’s done her d-duty? That m-means… y-you just need to be a g-good boy until she goes away and t-then… GOLD AND BITCHES! AW YEAH!
>Are you forgetting that Karn is also pretty angry at you for the drug thing?
H-he’ll g-get over it… you j-just need t-to explain t-the market share for t-the bottles and… w-well… he’ll f-finally afford t-to get his place u-up and r-running properly, right?

>Run what you've observed through your knowledge of creatures undead and not undead and pick the most likely of them.
Let’s see… intelligent… keeps in the dark… probably hostile… unable to see in the dark… hmm… afraid of the non-sun light? No, that doesn’t fit… maybe he ran off when he saw we were two? That’s more likely. So, if it some kind of monster and not just some random bandit, it’s clearly something like a… vampire! OH! OF COURSE! IT’S A VAMPIRE! You need to catch it and… err… wait, no, you need to get away from it! NOW!
>Now that big, strong Tunu is here you don't have to fear the sewer zombies, and you can pretend that it's you who's courageous.
Err… y-yeah… that’s right… Tunu can protect you… or… um… she’s bigger, so they’ll probably attack and eat her first, giving you ample time to escape! PERFECT!
>provided you don't get killed by whatever that was.
Y-you d-don’t need to out slither it. You j-just need to out s-slither Tunu…

>Whoever or whatever that was that was creepin' up on Tunu just gave you a potential out from Tunu suspecting your involvement in Tana's disappearance.
Oh, right, Tana… um… y-you guess if Tunu believes that thing grabbed her… w-well, who are you to argue?
>No killing Tunu, whether by your action or inaction, got it? That will make your soul way more tasty smelling to Ema, putting the odds of your fate ending up down her gullet way higher.
Err… r-right… y-you need to s-stay good while Ema is a-around unless you w-want to b-become… um… fat. Well, it’s not a b-bad w-way to go, y-you guess. Better it be a pretty girl than some monster or disease, r-right? S-still, you’d rather live t-than anything so…
>Make sure you follow up your inevitable nervous rambling with "...I think you're pretty".
Y-you’re n-not that awkward, d-d-dammit!


>Also ask Tunu more about what happened down here(even though you know).
:TunuFoS: W-we were on our w-way t-to you when s-some Varkian ambushed us!
:OranFoS: A… Varkian? Are you sure she was a V-Varkian?
:TunuFoS: Of course HE was a Varkian! And he wanted to kidnap Tana! But we beat him up!
:OranFoS: But… he manage to get the upper hand?
:TunuFoS: No, Tana accidently broke the light and suddenly, BOOM, GIANT MONSTER OUT OF NOWHERE! I mean, I think it was giant! I didn’t… err… see it… on account of it being pitch black…
:OranFoS: …and then the Hiver grabbed Tana and pulled her away?
:TunuFoS: The monster grabbed her, I tried to save her but it knocked me out! When I came to, this… this thing was on me, going through my clothes and mumbling about the other snake it dragged away! I managed to knock it off me, but as I was completely lost in the dark I should do nothing but hide… until you came, that is! Oh, You were so brave, coming down here alone and scaring that thing away!
:OranFoS: Err… s-sure… I mean, I didn’t… um… t-that is to say… I’m… err… t-think y-you’re… pretty? I MEAN, I WANTED To… ask… err…
>Ask if Tunu found any signs that Tana was harmed.
:TunuFoS: Err… well… I c-can’t see any here…
:OranFoS: Then maybe she managed to get away?
:TunuFoS: But… I saw… I mean, heard her being dragged off!
:OranFoS: But what if she managed to get out of its grip?
:TunuFoS: Tana is still out there! We need to help her! I can’t just… just hope for the best! I need to do something! We need to go after that thing and quickly!
:OranFoS: But… um…

>I only have one arm and you have no weapons we need to go back to my lab and get some stuff!
:TunuFoS: But… b-but… by then… w-we’ll never be able t-to catch it!
:OranFoS: I’m s-sorry, Tunu, but… um…
<She start hugging you even closer…>
:TunuFoS: …wait, is t-that your…?
:OranFoS: Um… t-that an anti-undead potion in my pocket. I’m… err… n-not happy to s-see you… err… I mean… um…
:TunuFoS: That’s perfect! Hold the light and follow me, and I’ll give that creature a dose of this baby!
:OranFoS: W-wait, don’t! I don’t-
:TunuFoS: COME ON!
:OranFoS: GAH! DON’T PULL SO HARD!

Tunu, with potion in hand, drags you deeper into the abyss… that is to say, the sewers. You quickly lose track of where you are, but Tunu seems to know where she is going. At least, until she stops in an intersection looking lost, that is.

:TunuFoS: Dammit! I… I lost his trail! Gah… I g-guess… we’ll just need to head back, then…
:OranFoS: S-show t-the way and I’ll… err… light it?
:TunuFoS: Huh? W-wait, you mean… y-you can’t find your way out? I t-thought you knew these tunnels!
:OranFoS: What? No! I’ve b-been down here like… twice! Both times with a map! …and that was only t-to scout out your path, nothing more!
:TunuFoS: Then… w-we’re lost!? Oh crud! W-what are we supposed to do!?
:OranFoS: Just… give m-me a second to think…

Okay… this place isn’t to big so… if you would follow the right wall you’ll find an exit eventually, right? Or you can try and back track. You’re bound to have left some kind of tracks, no? W-wait, did you just hear a… a… hen? You’re pretty sure you heard a hen clucking down one of the corridors… and now that you’re listening, you swear you can hear music coming from the other direction! What is going on here?

The hen was probably just wandering around and got lost same as you. Go towards the music.

Also, uh, tell Tunu that you think the thing that was pawing through her clothes wasn't the same thing that took Tana, because the first monster was able to fight in the dark yet the second "thing" wasn't... and didn't fight back at all.

The harvest fair! There were having a dance a while ago, maybe they are still at it? Yes we should totally follow the music, but make sure that Tunu hears the music too, just to be sure..
Also i agree, that this must be another monster. The first one could see where Tana was, this one doesn't, so he has to see through touch.

>but the book said.....!
You do realize that Ema said not everything in that book was true, right? So what makes you think she’ll disappear when she’s done her duty? She could stick around for all you know! And she can smell your soul getting darker whenever you think about doing these things. So even if she is going to disappear, she’s gonna know that you’re gonna do something and she’ll eat you before she leaves!

And what makes you think Ema is the only undead in town? Even if Ema does leave, as soon as you try to start making those potions again, a different undead will show up and eat you! Which is why your fortune warned you about continuing down the same path as Tana! Because if Ema doesn’t get you, then a different undead will!

>excuses to have Karn continue to help you
The only reason his dojo isn’t up and running is because of Vivian sabotaging him. But now that she’s dead, it’s only a matter of time before his dojo gets going on its own.

And you saw how mad he was! If you keep doing this, he’ll send the guards after you!

>thoughts of abandoning Tunu
Are you purposefully trying to attract another undead towards you?! Do what Ema said and stop thinking about only saving yourself!

For example: What you need to do is think about how you can help everyone suffering from the side effects of the potions that you made!

>What do?
Go towards the music. You should be able to get back to the festival. Then you can make your way back to your lab from there.

>GOLD AND BITCHES! AW YEAH!
Awww... you'll never have bitches Oran.

If you can't figure out the path you took, sound might be the only way to figure out where you are. A chicken means there might be a farm close to here, the music should be the festival. Try to remember if any of the sewer access points are near those landmarks. If there is a flow of fresh air follow that.
Also, no more blind wandering, mark the path you take in some way.

Watch out for sewer zombies.

No. 900513 ID: 05ff2f

Whisper to Tunu to keep her voice down, then ask her to listen and tell you what she hears and from which way. That'll check that you're not imaging things.

The music is most likely from the festival, but it's not certain. It could be from a party inside some residence, from inside a tavern or even from a criminal hideout. Heck, it could be from inside the palace or a manor for all you know. What kind of music does it sound like? Festival-like tunes or upscale ones?

The hen could be lost like you two, but it could also be the meal for a vampire that's laying low. Or it could be some hobo's pet they feed scraps to to get eggs to eat. Might even be from the poultry pens at the festival, though if it was there'd be a whole lot more noise so probably not. No way to know from here, but it's less likely to lead out than the music.

You need to mark the route you take so you don't end up going in circles. Do either of you have anything that can be used to write on the wall? A metal belt buckle could be used by Tunu to scratch marks in the brickwork using its prong. Or rip the vines down from the ceiling and arrange them into markings towards the edge of the floor, where they would be less likely to be stepped on.

Mark a arrow showing the direction you took at the entrance of the tunnel from the intersection and where you exited the tunnel into another intersection. Also mark down a number next to the directional arrow, starting from zero. That way if you have to follow the path you took before, you'll know you did and it won't get muddled.

If Tunu objects to giving up the pursuit and leaving the sewer, tell her that we can just follow the markings back to this spot in a short while, once we're better kitted out to search the tunnels and face what may be down here.

...Also, Tunu seems way more scared than you'd expect a big, tough ovale like her would be. You think she might not be the hardened gal you thought she was and Tana just brought her on 'cause she was buff looking? That she doesn't really know how to fight? Better whisper to Tunu to ask how well she knows how to fight. If she seems to be lying, tell her to be truthful.

>That m-means… y-you just need to be a g-good boy until she goes away and t-then… GOLD AND BITCHES! AW YEAH!
Oran, Ema aside, have you thought about the amount of logistics and organization that would be needed to sell the narcotics you make and keep you safely insulated from the dangers of doing so. Because it's not just the law catching you you have to worry about, it's criminal organizations and gangs that'll want to either put you down or get you under their thumb so you'll be their "golden goose." You're gonna need trusted muscle to protect you, dealers to sell the dope, middlemen to keep you insulated, a bookkeeper to hide your illicit funds from the law, and so on and so forth. And if you fuck up, you end up dead, on the run, in prison, backstabbed by a underling or chained to a cellar wall forced to cook narcotics for the mob.

But even if you avoid all that and setup a whole criminal organization that keeps you safe, you'll have little to no time to do the research you wanted to fund by selling dope in the first place. You'll have to take nearly all your time to be the kingpin, 'cause if you let someone else be the kingpin you'll end up under their thumb eventually. In the end, selling dope is way more trouble than doing your legit alchemy work, and it doesn't paint a big target on your back.

Oh, wait, I got a near sure way you can find a exit from these sewers. Since they're sewers, they have to have been built with at least a little slope to the tunnels to allow proper drainage. So figure out which way each tunnel at a intersection is sloped, take the one that goes downward and eventually you'll get to a sewer outlet.

If you had a ball to put on the floor that'd make it easy to figure out the slope. Unfortunately the only circular or round-ish objects you two have are the lantern and the vial of anti-undead potion. Better use the vial, since you definitely can't afford to risk breaking the lantern. ...And the lamp oil would slosh out if you put the lantern on its side, so that rules using it right from the start. ...Though, liquid would flow downslope too, but y'all don't have any to spill. ...Well, maybe urine, but you two aren't that desperate. Yet.

Sewer outlets could have locked gates though. If we can get close to the music that means we can probably call for help.

Oran, ask Tunu why the Varkian wanted to kidnap Tana.
>>
No. 900527 ID: cc01a6

Backtracking is probably the best option.
If you can't pick up your own trail, find the hen. It probably wandered in here on its own; since it hasn't been eaten by sewer zombies yet, it must've been here only a short time, implying that there's an exit nearby.

Try your best to reassure Tunu. Mention she can stay with you if she needs somewhere now that Tana's gone. She seems nice, after all.

Many ladies take making boys nervous as a complement, so just keep being yourself and telling her you think she's pretty.

Tunu has a fuckin' Arbok pattern. I just noticed this.

>You do realize that Ema said not everything in that book was true, right? So what makes you think she’ll disappear when she’s done her duty? She could stick around for all you know!
She can’t stick around forever! Even if she doesn’t go away after getting vengeance and all that, she will run out of people to eat and… err… eat you… or… um… she’ll make a sex farm or… something? Either way, if she doesn’t go away you’ll just… well… not continue?
>And she can smell your soul getting darker whenever you think about doing these things. So even if she is going to disappear, she’s gonna know that you’re gonna do something and she’ll eat you before she leaves!
Hmm… maybe you can mask your smell with chemicals? …or some kind of… perfume? This requires experimentation!
>And what makes you think Ema is the only undead in town?
Even if she isn’t the only undead in town, she’s probably the only one that cares if your soul is pure or not. Most undead just eat any soul they can get their hand on… and besides, the undead are supposed to be freaking rare!

>The only reason his dojo isn’t up and running is because of Vivian sabotaging him. But now that she’s dead, it’s only a matter of time before his dojo gets going on its own.
The main reason why his dojo isn’t doing well is because he lacks customers… and he lacks customers because the place looks like a dump, lacks good equipment and he’s the only one that works there. If he wants customers he’ll need to invest a bit first!
>And you saw how mad he was! If you keep doing this, he’ll send the guards after you!
He’ll not go to the guards, as they’ll probably just arrest him as well. You’ll have a civil discussion about this later.

>Many ladies take making boys nervous as a complement, so just keep being yourself and telling her you think she's pretty.
Everyone keep telling you to be yourself, but see where that has led you! You’re in a sewer, hunting some monster and you’re still a freaking virgin, dammit!
>...Also, Tunu seems way more scared than you'd expect a big, tough ovale like her would be.
She never did seem like the actual fighting type, did she?

>You need to mark the route you take so you don't end up going in circles.
That might be for the best so you don’t get even more lost!
>Find the hen. It probably wandered in here on its own; since it hasn't been eaten by sewer zombies yet, it must've been here only a short time, implying that there's an exit nearby.
Of course, the exit might be in a completely different direction and the hen has already passes by here once. Oh, and that’s probably the first place the sewer zombies will be attracted to as well.
>Since they're sewers, they have to have been built with at least a little slope to the tunnels to allow proper drainage.
Sadly, these tunnels are too old and misused that the floor is an uneven mess. Dropping something like a ball here would only make it roll into a crevice or something.
>Watch out for sewer zombies.
Well, duh.


>Whisper to Tunu to keep her voice down, then ask her to listen and tell you what she hears and from which way.
:TunuFoS: Huh? Is that… music? Quick! AFTER IT!

>Better whisper to Tunu to ask how well she knows how to fight.
:TunuFoS: Huh? F-fight? Um… w-well, I guess I c-can throw a punch but… I’m n-never been a real fight before?
>Oran, ask Tunu why the Varkian wanted to kidnap Tana.
:TunuFoS: I don’t know! I bet it has to do with those bottles! They are some rival seller or… something!
>Tell Tunu that you think the thing that was pawing through her clothes wasn't the same thing that took Tana.
:TunuFoS: But… it w-was talking about dragging away a snake! It… it has to be it!
:OranFoS: Talking and doing is quite different…

>Try your best to reassure Tunu. Mention she can stay with you if she needs somewhere now that Tana's gone.
:TunuFoS: Tana isn’t gone! I know she’s still here! I can feel it! I just… j-just need to find her!
:OranFoS: But-
:TunuFoS: And I already have a place to live! Though, I’ll probably need a new job… oh, I’m so going to give Tana a mindfull when I find her! I warned her about this! Tried to make her stop! But that’s it! I’ve had it! No more freaking smuggling this- wait, is that a door!?

At the end of the tunnel there is indeed a door, one that looks quite out of place at that. It’s like someone put it there long after the sewers where already out of use. It’s also the place where the music is originating from, as you can hear someone play piano on the other side of it. Before you can do anything, Tunu is already banging on it as hard as she can.

:TunuFoS: Hello!? Anyone there!?
:NonFoS: Depart from this place! Leave! Just turn around and abscond!
:TunuFoS: But where are a bit lost?
:NonFoS: Turn around, follow path, find exit! Go! Leave! It’s already… oh no! It’s already this late!? Go away! Leave this place! Also, ignore the man with the chickens outside! He is unimportant!
:OranFoS: Man with chick-
:TunuFoS: You haven’t seen a female Serpent around here, by any chance?
:NonFoS: I haven’t witness anything! I did not hear a fight! I did not witness a robed figure drag a snake away! I didn’t even see which basement it entered! Now depart!

Ok, somebody living in the sewers told you to get the fuck out, it must be for a good reason. Also, they must have heard you talking about Tana and the monster because you are fucking screaming about it. If Tana escaped, if she was lucky, she must have seen the path this guy is talking about. It is time to leave, you and Tunu have expose yourselfs to danger way to much. Grow some balls and take command, Oran come on!

Oran, stop being a stubborn jackass! Stop making excuses to continue making those illegal potions!

Ema could’ve just eaten you, but she didn’t! She gave you a chance to be a better person, because she must believe that you deserve a 2nd chance! Hell, when the 3 of you went to the festival, she chose to dance with you. Not Karn, the handsome swordsman, not Drago, the innkeeper’s cute son, she chose you, the awkward one armed alchemist that doesn’t know how to dance! She even said she would have sex with you if you stop making those potions! Do you really want to throw away a chance to finally lose your virginity?!

But if you want to have sex with Tunu, then you can just forget it! After today, she’s not gonna want anything to do with those potions! So if you continue to make those potions, she’s not going to want to be around you!

So if you ever want to get laid, then you’ve gotta give up on making the potions!

>The main reason why his dojo isn’t doing well is because he lacks customers…and he lacks customers because the place looks like a dump, lacks good equipment and he’s the only one that works there. If he wants customers he’ll need to invest a bit first!
You dumbass. What part of “sabotage” do you not understand? All of that is because Vivian was sabotaging Karn by bribing and paying people to vandalize his dojo, sell him terrible equipment, and spread rumors about him being a bad teacher!

So I’ll say it again, now that Vivian is gone, everything will work out for him.

>I haven’t witness anything! I did not hear a fight! I did not witness a robed figure drag a snake away! I didn’t even see which basement it entered! Now depart!
You’d better leave now, before the voice behind the door tells Tunu what she wants to hear!

What does the person on the other side of the door sound like? Species? Male, female or other? Accent?

Now, anyone hold up in these sewers alone who somehow could get a damn piano down here and play it with no fear of attracting who or whatever else skulks around down here should be treated with care. You have no idea what they're capable of, how loony they are, nor how hostile they could be if angered.

Get in front of Tunu, look her straight in the eyes with a pleading expression and whisper that this person isn't gonna cooperate and pressing them won't change that. They'll just say "LEAVE," possibly give us false directions to make us go away, or, if we just won't leave, maybe eventually respond with blade, crossbow bolt or, heck, a fireball for all we know. But they did give us some hints, if not specific directions, like they're afraid to snitch on who- or whatever snagged Tana. Lets follow the path back and find this "chicken man." See if he saw or heard anything. Then give a quick apology to the person on the other side of the door for disrupting their peace and leave.

This time, make damn sure you mark the way you take once you leave the exit path. You can't bank on the "chicken man" being as considerate as the "piano player" in leaving markings pointing towards the exit.

You think that by some amazing coincidence another Serpens was dragged through these sewers by the person that was searching Tunu shortly before when Ema captured Tana? It would explain that person talking about dragging another "snake," but it seems so unlikely.

You’re pretty sure it’s the same person that was looking for Tunu earlier, so a male mantis, rather young one at that, who sounds a bit… posh? So… noble? What would a blue blood do in the freaking sewers?

You can gain coin in a legal way, you are a smart guy, you know alchemy, you can make good potions, hell, if you manage to create that regenerative potion you where trying to make and sell it, you will gain both your arm and costumers! You will be swiming in coin, and it will be 100% legal!
Not only that, but you can help people in the proces, for a resonable price, you need to eat after all. The point is, you can be a good person and still be successful, you just have to TRY HARD AND PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT!
Now, about Drago, you don't ask, he doesn't tell, ok? We never met, BUT, whatever he has to do, he has to do it quickly and safetly, there is some nasty shit down there and it's dangerous. Even better, tell him to not even get in there.

Just go with it. If he thinks you guys are on a date, then let him keep thinking that. Because as long as that’s all he thinks you’re doing, then he won’t think of you guys doing illegal stuff.

>Oran, have you ever met a drug addict? Do you know what suffering you're causing? Do you care?
Of course you’ve met a drug addict! Where else would you sell your wares? And you’re not causing any suffering! It’s their own fault that they choose to take the drugs… and besides, even if you didn’t sell, they would just buy it somewhere else. Better the coin goes to you instead of some violent gang.
>Oran, for fuck’s sake, you’ve got a legit potion selling business! You can make plenty of profit that way!
But you need to earn more! Just look at your competitor, they live in freaking mansions and socialize with the nobles, while you have a small freaking shop in the poorer part of town and live in a freaking apartment! It’s not fair! You need more coin so you can become bigger… greater… the freaking best! That will show them! THAT WILL SHOW THEM ALL!

The two of you make it back to your place without any further incident, not counting the awkward silence that almost choke the both of you. You can only hope that Karn remembered to use the guestroom, so the two of you won’t walk in on him getting his “arse” plowed by Ema or something. As you unlock the front door, Tunu slither past you, clearly agitated, her tail almost slamming a few potions off a table as it shows her frustration.

>gotta make as much money as the big alchemy shop for rich people
Okay, two problems with that.
1, as soon as you become a threat to their business they will start spending money to fuck you over somehow, either by digging up dirt on you, spreading false rumors, other acts of sabotage, or economic pressure like preventing you from getting quality ingredients by buying up all the supply or paying the suppliers to not do business with you.
2, you're filling a niche here. Who's going to sell potions to the lower and middle class if you go after the high class customers? And there's no way you're going to be able to make as much money as the high class shop unless you go after rich customers. They have access to people with more money than common sense.

And another thing, you need to at least be consistent about your attitude towards your addict customers. Either it's their own fault they're being hurt, or your drugs aren't hurting them. Can't be both, they contradict eachother.
Speaking of drugs, you mentioned violent gangs. If you're selling drugs to make money and want to make a LOT of money doing it, those violent gangs are going to either want to eliminate you as competition, or strongarm you into working for them. AGAIN. Ema might protect you... if you convince her you truly are the lesser evil. That might mean at least offering rehab services to your addicts. Sure, maybe it's their fault that they're addicts. But, let me repeat myself here: if you make your customers happy, then you will get more business.
Of course, you can basically ignore both those issues if you keep your drug operation small, or only deal in less-addictive softer drugs. The gangs won't bother with a small-time dealer, and you won't be causing much harm. There are always options, there is always a way to do the right thing while getting what you want.

>Tunu
Tell her if she wants you could help distract her. Would she like a potion with a mild calming effect? Or would she want something more physical? Massage? You've only got one arm but you'll try your best.

>>900841
No, dumbass! Think for a second: If any of the other alchemists are making illegal potions that are hurting people and making a profit, then Ema will get rid of them.

Meanwhile, you will be selling normal potions that are legal and not harmful to people. And when you’re the only alchemist left in town, everyone will come to you.

But this will only work if you don’t make and/or sell those illegal potions!

>Dalriver…why does that name ring a bell again?
Don’t you remember? It’s pretty hard to forget about a village that was completely slaughtered by bandits and burned to the ground 10 years ago!

.....actually, Ema was asking about that place when you first met her and she helped you and Karn move that crate to your lab. Do you think that maybe that’s where and when Ema died? Which means.....oh shit, the people responsible for destroying Dalriver are somewhere in town!

>No matter, you better head back to the shop before they start worrying about you.
That depends on how long you’ve been gone. Because if you’ve been gone for a while, then chances are Ema and Karn have gone into the sewers to look for you.

>>900842
>Tunu
You know what? Why don’t you lead Tunu towards wherever you think Karn is?

You can offer to get her something to drink and then you walk in on Karn by “accident” as payback for getting laid while you were busy looking for Tana and Tunu in the sewers because they were running late.

I just thought of something.

Hey, Oran, maybe instead of being a dumbass and trying to continue your illegal potion making and selling, why don’t you try and make something that’s unique to only your store?

For example: Why don’t you try making potions into a type of candy that can be eaten?

It’ll be tiny, so no one will have to carry around a bulky bottle that takes up room in thier pockets. And without a bottle, no one has to worry about accidentally breaking it and losing their potions!

You could even make them different flavors! That way if parents have a sick child that won’t take their medicine because they don’t like the taste, the parents can trick their child into consuming a berry flavored healing potion in the shape of a candy!

Although, you should stick to making healing potion candies at first, just to make sure it works. But after a while, you can move on to candies with different potion effects!

Your biggest non-immediate problem is that Hiver that witnessed Ema in her default form carry Tana right to your secret basement lab entrance. If he tells anyone what he saw, especially Tunu, then both you and Ema's gonna be in trouble. You need to get to Ema, tell her what happened, how to get to that Hiver, and to do so while disguised as Gev (in case Drago sees.) But it's not to kill the Hiver. He's more valuable if he can be bargained and/or threatened into lying about who kidnapped Tana and which basement she was taken into; Preferably the basement of a abandoned building, or even the same way that Tana and Tunu would enter or exit the old sewers if it's via a basement. That way if and when Tunu goes to the Hiver to try and get him to talk, if he does she'll be misdirected.

Oran, how did Karn get involved with your situation with Tana and Tunu to the point he knew the secret meeting signal? It doesn't really make sense for Tana to allow any more people to be involved than absolutely necessary, since the more the greater the security risk. How did Karn fit into the deal at all?

>Insert snake peen into snake butt.
...you fucking wish… *sigh*
>Your biggest non-immediate problem is that Hiver that witnessed Ema in her default form carry Tana right to your secret basement lab entrance.
But did he actually see that it was Ema? …and would anyone actually listen to some loon living in the sewers? Hmm… still, maybe you want to brick up that entrance, so anyone actually listening to him would think he was just crazy…

>As soon as you become a threat to their business they will start spending money to fuck you over somehow.
As long as you don’t steal their clientele... after all, the point is living the high life, not doing business with it. Still, they might try and do something…
>If any of the other alchemists are making illegal potions that are hurting people and making a profit, then Ema will get rid of them.
Are they even making anything illegal? You guess trying to fuck you over if you ever got successful would be morally wrong, but by then… well…
>If you're selling drugs to make money and want to make a LOT of money doing it, those violent gangs are going to either want to eliminate you as competition, or strong-arm you into working for them. AGAIN.
You’re not even sure if there are any gangs here. You know Tana got the herbs from somewhere but… well… hmm… and even then, if your business isn’t too big, they will ignore you, r-right?

>Either it's their own fault they're being hurt, or your drugs aren't hurting them. Can't be both, they contradict each other.
You’re not at fault here! It’s their fault! Stop trying to debate this, brain! YOU’RE BLAMELESS HERE, DAMMIT! It’s n-not y-your… your fault… no… it’s their… b-blame them... Argh, f-fine, you’ll stop with the freaking potions for a while! Just stop with the freaking whining, brain!
>Why don’t you try making potions into a type of candy that can be eaten?
You’re just a journeymen alchemist, not some… some magician! You can’t bend the laws of alchemy all willy-nilly to make something liquid into a solid matter just like that! Besides, all your research time is spent trying to make that regrowth potion.
>Oran, how did Karn get involved with your situation with Tana and Tunu to the point he knew the secret meeting signal?
You’re a bad liar and after Tana hurt you, he… well, wanted to protect you. So he kind of forced himself into the deal, to try and get you out of it. Of course, Tana answered by bringing Tunu in and things kind of… well, settled into a rhythm?
>Ema was asking about Dalriver when you first met her and she helped you and Karn move that crate to your lab.
Oh, right! She was interested in that! You better bring it up to her when you get the chance, then.


>Tell her to go home and see if she made it there.
:TunuFoS: … I… I don’t think she would go back t-there… the one that attacked us, the Varkian, seemed to know who she was s-so… her home wouldn’t be safe. And I believe she wouldn’t want to bring me into harm’s way by going to my place either.
:OranFoS: Then d-do you have any other meeting spot? A s-secret one?
:TunuFoS: The only secret spot was the sewers and your lab… and she wasn’t there, was she?
>Tell her if she wants you could help distract her.

>Or would she want something more physical? Massage? You've only got one arm but you'll try your best.

:KarnFoS: Don’t disappear on me like that! You had me worried to death! I searched through the whole path and didn’t find you anywhere!? Where did you- wait, oh, you… um… found Tunu, I see.
:TunuFoS: We got lost trying to track down the thing that attacked Tana…
:KarnFoS: …attack- wait, you were attacked? By what? Where? How?
:OranFoS: First by some Varkian bandit… which transformed into some kind of sewer monster?
:TunuFoS: I’m pretty sure they were two different beings!
:KarnFoS: …err… right. Bandits that turns into monsters…
:TunuFoS: He didn’t- I don’t think- I know what I saw! Err… I mean, heard?
:KarnFoS: Either way, it’s good that you’re safe Oran… and you Tunu, as well… so… um… I’ll… need to go and… take care of something? Also, sheesh, you two reeks.
:TunuFoS: Hey! You smell just as bad!
:OranFoS: We were just in a sewer after all…
:KarnFoS: At least I had this cloak to soak up all the smells… but yes… um… take care of Tunu and… clean up a bit, Oran, and… well… don’t tarry, alright? Good to see you well, Tunu…

:TunuFoS: …wait, who is this Ema he-
:OranFoS: Just some g-girl he found at the f-festival… and brought back at a really bad time.
:TunuFoS: Oh… so… um… Oran?
:OranFoS: Y-yes?
:TunuFoS: Going back the massage… um… would you mind to… well, massage my mind? You know… mind meld? Tana usually helped me calm down by showering me with calming thoughts but… well… do you want to help me with that?

…a pretty girl just asked me to meld with her. You can’t really say no to that, can you? But you’ve never really been good at mind melding… and if she manages find out what you know about Tana… or if you accidently reveal it… but… you can’t really say no or she’ll get suspicions? You’ll need some excuse… or… or something other secret you can “accidently” give her! Like… um… how you… err… are still… you know… right? So… massage her mind or… just… act like a freaking coward?

Why don't you try to bond with things that you may have in common? She is big strong girl that is actually a real softy in the inside and she has lost her only friend, and you are just a alchimist trying to be successful with just one arm that is having a bad time in life, with just a few friends and that is currenlty trying to quit making adicting potions. When people are having a bad time they tend to look for other in their same sircunstances to suport each other. Try that.

You know what: This isn't just about getting laid anymore. You know that fortune about Justice meant, didn't you? Yes, you might do something so unforgivable that it will only end in a monster's gullet. But your greed and megalomania are denying what your rationality and conscience wants to talk about. And if you don't think there's anything you can do about that, that fortune will become just as self-fulfilling as if you fulfill it with intent. You need find the confidence in yourself to commit to "changing your path" as it were.
And you need friends to help you with that, even someone who could understand you better than Karn.

Maybe if you focus enough on what fears, feelings or memories is causing your megalomaniac tendencies to act up, you (just) might be able to pull off a mind meld. Memories like that likely go far back in your life and are stronger than what details you have of a stranger you've known for, what, a day now.

Be sure to get sloshed yourself with her, at least. Maybe your thoughts would get incoherent enough that anything you reveal could be ignored as ramblings. Ever hear of what happens in a mind meld while drunk?

As long as you don’t accidently bring it up she won’t be able to feel it… unless she forces herself into you, but you don’t think she would do so without reason. Of course, whit your experience with melding and your scattered thoughts… yeah… maybe it’s a bad idea…
>Mind meld, accidentally reveal you're a virgin, probably get laid! Probably in the bath.
Why would her knowing you were a virgin get you laid? Woman prefers men with experience, don’t they? You’re pretty sure they do… also, you’re a one armed, unattractive fool with a boring personality. There’s a reason why you’ve never gotten anything, you know… Besides, you just witnessed her friend’s death… kind of… um… morbid to… you know…?

Well would you look at that! As soon as you said that you’d stop making those potions, a pretty lady wants to share a shower with you! It’s almost as if the goddesses are rewarding you for giving up those potions!

While you don’t want to end up like that, the thought is still just hard to actually imagine. Even if you’ve seen her with your own eyes, it’s still hard to actually convince yourself its actually true and not just something you made up. Either way, it’s not killing your boner as you hoped.


>Oran, go show her the shower. Then assist in said shower.
:OranFoS: Err… it’s r-right through here… um…
:TunuFoS: Nice… I’ve only ever used one of these thing twice before. They are kind of expensive, aren’t they?
:OranFoS: Um… well… it’s n-not t-that bad if… err… if y-you know h-how to… um… m-maintain the m-magical r-runes y-yourself… err…
:TunuFoS: Ah, a perk of being an alchemist, then? Neat…

And with that she casually starts to undress, seemingly ignoring that you’re there completely as she simply throw her clothes off into a pile. You’d always imagine the first time seeing a lady undress in front of you it would be a in a slow, sexy way, not it such a… quick and casual way, as if this was just another shower. It does kind of make it even hotter on some levels…

:TunuFoS: Also, sheesh, my clothes smell as well. Do you have somewhere to clean them?
:OranFoS: Um… I mean… I guess I can t-throw it into… err… my cleaner and… um…
:TunuFoS: You have your own cloth cleaner? Neat! I have to take my stuff to the cleaning house usually and hire a room there.
:OranFoS: Um… y-yeah… that’s one of t-the perks of b-being a alchemist as w-well, I guess? I can refill those things myself and… err… j-just so you k-know, it will take a while for i-it to dry? Just… um… throw it into the bin and… err… I’ll fix it up after the s-shower?
:TunuFoS: Don’t worry. I’ll just… I don’t know, hang around here for a while, while it dries?
:OranFoS: Err… r-right…

She puts her clothes in the bin before slithering into the shower chamber, looking back at you over her shoulder as to ask if you were coming or not.

:OranFoS: Err… I’ll b-be r-right there! J-just n-need to… um… g-get undressed…

>Well would you look at that! As soon as you said that you’d stop making those potions, a pretty lady wants to share a shower with you! It’s almost as if the goddesses are rewarding you for giving up those potions!
A pretty lady whose friend you just saw being eaten alive. Tana might have deserved what she got, but Tunu? She doesn’t seem that bad know that you’re starting to get and know her… and now… now you’re… are you taking advantage of her? She must be worried for Tana and you’re… are you just using her to please yourself?
:TunuFoS: *Sigh* a nice shower does really wash away the weight from your shoulders, doesn’t it?
:OranFoS: Err… s-sure…
:TunuFoS: …I really do hope she’s alright...
:OranFoS: Um… I’m s-sure she’s… um... s-safe?
:TunuFoS: It’s just… I tried so hard to get her away from that job. From the danger. But in the end… it was kind of pointless. Ugh… never mind, let’s focus on something else for a bit. I don’t want to think about her anymore.
:OranFoS: …o-okay…?

This is just getting worse and worse… Tunu clearly didn’t deserve what we put her trough… it was Tana’s bad choices, not hers, that led here her. And now you’re here, perving on her in the freaking shower… fuck, you’re pathetic, Oran…

>But don't get handsy without asking her first. Most girls don't like that.
Right. Y-you just need t-to ask… ask if you c-can… touch her… and… err…
:TunuFoS: Hey, are you going to scrub my back or not? Or do you want me to scrub you down first?
:OranFoS: Err… r-right! On m-my way?
:TunuFoS: Make sure to scrub under the hood, that’s where I usually can’t reach.
:OranFoS: S-sure…
:TunuFoS: Also, don’t be afraid to go low either. I know I can easily reach down there, but it’s just nice having someone else scrub your tail for once.
:OranFoS: Err… s-s-sure?

oh goddesses, Oh Goddesses, OH GODDESSES! You’re actually scrubbing a naked lady! You’re actually… a lady… that’s…. just… lost her… fuck… dammit, brain… why can’t you just-

>She's definitely gonna notice your boner in the shower.
:TunuFoS: Also, do you have a boner right now?
:OranFoS: ERRR…

I don't know what makes you think a alchimist gets woman like a gigolo, but that is far from the truth. Mainly because i smell like quimicals half of the time, and secondly, i don't live in the best place of town, thus making shady deals with shady people to make actually good profit, aperently. So no, the amout of acttion i get is near death expiriences, not sex.
Also, i know this is probably the worst time to say it and our sircunstances could have been different, pleasant even, but i think you are a really pretty, strong and a really good person.

This is different! The others made a choice and are experiencing the consequences from it. Tunu… didn’t. The only choice Tunu made was to try and help a friend… who made bad decisions… and suffered the consequences for it. Tunu doesn’t deserve to face her consequences as well.

Hey, hold on a second, where DID you grow up. If i am not mistaken, Serpents are the most easy going creatures in this world, and you are awkward as fuck. What happened to you? And what is that about not having a brood? Were you raised by non-Serpents? You don't even act like a Serpent either, you act more like a human or an Sakkalian.

Tell Tunu that you didn’t have broodparants to teach you any of these things.

>I mean, it’s not like you’re a complete virgin or anything, right? Haha, I’m just joking, of course. A virgin Serpents? Yeah, right…
Just come clean (heh, it’s funny because you guy are in the shower) and tell her that, yes, you are a complete virgin. And it’s not from a lack of trying either!

Inform her you are a complete virgin.

Also, sex is nice and all, but long-term relationships are what's really hot.

I don't really know what's in-character for Oran, so, uh...

Very good boys don't have a lot of casual sex, especially their first time. However, decent boys can still be pretty alright while being a total manwhore, though.
But you want to be as good a boy as you can, don't you, Oran?
Just wash up and snuggle, but without doing anything overtly sexual. Shouldn't blow (teehee) your virginity on a passing fling, anyway.

>Hey, hold on a second, where DID you grow up. Were you raised by non-Serpents?
You were raised in an orphanage with a Sakkilian headmistress and mostly Sakkilian kids. That’s where you met Karn, as his mom didn’t had time to take care of him herself half the time. So no, you weren’t raised by Serpents and are a bit… um… out of touch with their customs.
>Very good boys don't have a lot of casual sex.
Well, then you’ll simply have to be a bad boy and become a freaking whore or something!
>You want to be as good a boy as you can, don't you, Oran?
You want… no, you need to get laid! That’s what you want!
>Also, sex is nice and all, but long-term relationships are what's really hot.
You don’t care about relationships right now! You’re just fucking horny!

>Scrub her down and don’t stop until you can see your reflection on her scales!
You let your hands explore her body, making sure to touch and examine every part of her. Her chest, her sides, her stomach and… hips… as you get lower, your concentration is broken with a gasp as you feel one of her hands slowly start stroking one of your members, before shifting its attention to the other one.

She starts playing with the barbs on the top of your cocks, giving them a bit of a flick as her hand passes over each and every one.

>Why are you going to the sofa? Wouldn’t it be more comfortable for both of you to use your Serpent water bed? Or is it too small for both of you?
Serpent beds are freaking expensive, especially big ones. You have one that can fit you, but it would be… really awkward to try and do anything but sleep in it thanks to its size.
>Tunu is right here and she’s willing to go through this with you, so why put it off any longer? Besides, you can always wreck Ema’s ass later, after Tunu leaves.
…y-yeah… Ema will s-still be here later! You… goddesses… you might even… two… the same day…

>A - Press her against the wall and start pounding her… HARD! Get that Serpens puss!
You answer her question by grabbing hold of her hips, shoving her backwards until she hits the wall and following up with smashing your body against her as it comes to a stop. Deliberately skipping all the foreplay, you try your best penetrate her immediately, your dual cocks sliding across the slick scales of her stomach as you miss your mark before finally one of your members gets lucky and managed to pierce her folds. Her hands travel across your back, before pulling you into a deep embrace as soon as she feel you entering her, making the two of you gasp in unison as she forces you into her to the hilt. The two of you stand there for what seems like an eternity, enjoying each other’s warm embrace, while her tight folds squeezes your member in anticipation. When she finally loosen her grip of you, she leans in and whispers…

”Oran… f-fuck me…”

Pulling out as far as you dare, you answer her plea by plunging deep into her once again. The sound of the shower is quickly drowned out by the sound of scales smacking against scales as you pick up speed, Tunu moaning softly each time your hips meet. You try your best to mimic what you’ve read in your novels, to keep a fast but even pace as you breed her, but your inexperience shows. The pace become more and more uneven and awkward, she whines a bit as you accidently slip out of her once or twice, but you’re determined to see this through and quicken your pace. You feel her trying to slow you down a bit, gently pressing you away with her hands, but it’s too late. Consumed by instinct, there is only one thing on your mind as your orgasm nears.

”Ah… s-slow d-down, Oran… ngg… or… or y-you’re g-going to-”

Your whole body shakes as you hilt her one final time, your cock throbbing as it pumps out rope after rope of your virile seed into her depths. She squirm a bit under you as you fill her to the brim, your handiwork making itself know as some of it leaks out from around your buried cock. Finally, your muscles give away and you lose your balance. Tunu catches you as you almost fall over, making sure that you’re still inside you as she holds you against her.

Your thoughts are in disarray. Pure bliss washes over you as you finally realize you actually just managed to lose your virginity inside the ass of a pretty girl… but it’s quickly disrupted by disappointment and nervousness as you realize that you didn’t even manage to last a minute…

She takes her time exploring your body, letting her hands follow each curve and her fingers stroking each of your belly scales. Taking great care to not reach a certain destination, she teases you endlessly, letting her fingers drag tantalizing close to your now flaccid members, just close enough to keep your excited but not close enough to stop your retreating members. As your twin cocks disappears completely back into your body, Tunu turns off the shower and walks out to dry herself, throwing a towel to you to make sure you do the same.

[Warning, Egg laying in boy butts below.]

>G for 'get interrupted, probably by Karn, again'
As Tunu practically drags you out of the shower chamber, both of you still completely naked, you managed to spot Karn waiting for you outside. He doesn’t say anything, instead just giving you a sly smile coupled with a thumbs up before disappearing, making sure to leave before Tunu even notice him there.

You direct her to your living room and gesture towards the sofa there, expecting her to lay down there for you. Instead, she grabs your hand and guides it towards her crotch, leading it right to the tip of her emerging ovipositor. Feeling it twitch a bit as you squeeze it, you can’t help but feel a renewed excitement as your twin cocks once again start to harden in anticipation. Her female member slowly grows in your hand as you start to pump it, marveling at its size as it seems to just get bigger and bigger. While not as wide as one of yours, it’s quite a bit longer and you can’t help but feel nervous about knowing that soon it will be completely buried inside you. All you can do is to whisper to her to be gentle…

”Relax… let me take care of you…”

With soft hands, she lays you down in the sofa before slithering on top of you, your twin cocks and her member getting sandwiches between the soft scales of your bellies. She just lays there for a moment on top of you, squirming a bit to make her scales drag across your sensitive parts, before sitting up. Grabbing hold of her ovipositor, she guides it towards your entrance and with one slick motion she slides inside you with a moan.

”Unf… y-you’re the perfect incubator… t-tight and warm…”

Her pace is slow, but even, as she plunge into your depths over and over again. Even as she gains some speed she follows a rhythm of some unheard melody, the only music that is heard is the sound of her body pounding into yours. Her soft moans are almost drowned out from the shrill screams of pleasure you make each time she hilts insides you. Then, you feel her mind enters yours and suddenly you are as one. Her every motion, every thrust and moan, you feel it like it was your own body. Your mind is lost in haze of bliss, losing track of the world around you, it feels like she fucks you for an eternity… but then you notice it. She takes you to the base of her cock before suddenly stopping, almost falling over you as her whole body shakes in orgasmic bliss.

”H-here c-comes… ah… t-the first b-batch…”

The first egg presses itself against your entrance, the sudden increase in size making it a tight fit. Tunu whines as it clogs up the base of her ovipositor, forcing her to hump against you in an attempt to insert it into you. The two of you hiss slightly in pain as the egg finally enters you, forcing you open in a way you’ve never been before, but the slight pain is quickly forgotten as the two of you is washed away by the pleasure of feeling her egg travel up her cock. She presses herself against you, trying to lay her egg as deep inside you as possible, but even before her first egg is deposed into your depths, you feel the next one pressing itself against your hole. As it stretches you open you become lost in ecstasy, your twin members throbs as they can’t contain themselves any longer, one of them painting your chest with your own seed as it fires its load. After that you’re simply lost in a fog of pleasure, your senses dull as you feel egg after egg enter you and filling you to the brim…

”T-that was four… huff… I b-bet… I bet I have at least d-double that left… r-ready for a-another batch, cutie?”

The only way to get the good true ending with Danus is by EATING EVRYONE! True fact.

Last time on Avdol’s rather odd occurrence.

:AvdolBC: No matter how hard you pound it, no matter how many times it unleashes its fiery load, my mighty cock will still stand! Do you not see, Mr. Jotaro, you Stand type doesn’t stand a chance against me!
:JosephBC: You used a fighting move against a fighting Pokémon, you fucking idiot!
:JotaroBC: Yare yare daze…

--------

:JosephBC: HORY SHEEET! My daughter is pregnant!
:KakyoinBC: And I’m the daddy, bitch!
:JotaroBC: Yare yare daze…

--------

:AvdolBC: Watch out! That’s not me! That’s my evil twin, Lodva!
:JotaroBC: Yare yare daze…
:LodvaBC: I can’t really fathom how you didn’t notice earlier, what with me having an evil goatee and everything…

--------

:HolBC: Stands are making the frogs gay!
:JosephBC: …what.
:HolBC: All stand users are just immigrant gay vampires who are trying to corrupt our youth!
:JosephBC: Um… I mean… that’s kind of true?
:HolBC: NOW WHERE DID I PARK MY HORSE!?

--------

And now… back to where we left off…

:JosephBC: This is… err… the work of an enemy stand! YES! AN EVIL STAND! Right, muhammed!?
:AvdolBC: Mmmf?
:JotaroBC: SAY WAAAAAAAA!?
:KakyoinBC: …you know, the constant “yare yare daze” maybe wasn’t that bad…
:AvdolBC: *cough* y-yes… um… Mr. Joestar is correct. This is the work of an enemy stand to… distract you while… um… they sneak up on us and replace one of us without the others even noticing!

:KakyoinBC: …yeah, no, I’m not buying it.
:JotaroBC: That just sound stupid, old man.
:NotBoneraffBC: Sacré bleu! That is the most crétin thing I’ve ever heard!

:JotaroBC: What?
:NotBoneraffBC: Hon hon hon…
:AvdolBC: One of them must be an imposter sent by DIO!
:JotaroBC: So are we going to beat him up or what?
:NotBoneraffBC: Hon hon hon. They will never suspect that I, Polnareff, is not actually Jotaro but actually an assassin!
:KakyoinBC: There’s no way to tell them apart!
:JotaroBC: …he just told you he wasn’t me? He’s doesn’t look or sound anything like me! He’s wearing a freaking piece of cardboard over his face for Star Platinum sake!
:NotBoneraffBC: Just according to the baguette*! Hon hon hon!
:JosephBC: Eh, there’s no way to tell them apart so we’ll just have to kill them both.
:JotaroBC: Wait what?
:NotBoneraffBC: Wait quoi?
:AvdolBC: Wait, Mr. Joestar, isn’t there a better way?
:JosephBC: Like what?
:NotBoneraffBC: Like turning your back to me so I can make you experience La petit mort! Hon hon hon!

:StarplatBC: Ugh!

:NonFoS:
:JosephBC: …do anyone remember what his stand actually looked like?
:KakyoinBC: Don’t look at me, I haven’t even seen it in this canon yet.
:AvdolBC: Hmm… we might be able to discern its looks from its name?

:NotBoneraffBC: Yes! Exactly! And as you can see, my silver chariot is kind of platinum colored, n’est-ce pas?
:JosephBC: It is a lot more platinum colored than the other one, yes… the other one is kind of… purple?
:NotBoneraffBC: And… um… it’s a fencer, see? A fencer can be like a star in a competition so… star Platinum?
:JosephBC: … … …that make complete logical sense! This silver knight must be Star Platinum!
:StarplatBC: Ugh?
:JotaroBC: What.

>Or make them fight eachother.
:JotaroBC: That’s it! I’m just going Ora on your ass, you cheese eating French-
:StarplatBC: Ugh?

:JotaroBC: I forgot to visit a Pokémon center after our last fight? But… that’s not… don’t I have any potions or something?
:StarplatBC: Ugh…
:JosephBC: This is going nowhere. There has to be a better way to solve this.

>We must use information only the real Jotaro would know!

:JosephBC: He’s my what now!?

:AvdolBC: Which animal can smell a drop of blood from miles away?
:NotBoneraffBC: A SHARK! Hon hon hon!
:JotaroBC: That’s a myth. There isn’t any ocean animal that can smell blood like that.
:KakyoinBC: Everyone knows sharks have super good smelling when it comes to blood! One point to the man with the cardboard mask! Speaking of blood, which octopi drinks blood!
:NotBoneraffBC: Vampire squid!
:JotaroBC: That’s neither an octopus or squid nor does it drink blood! Also, the plural for octopus is octopuses, not octopi!
:AvdolBC: That’s two points to the fake one. Now, our last question… which shark is the biggest?
:NotBoneraffBC: The great white, duh.
:JotaroBC: The Whale shark.
:KakyoinBC: The fuck is a whale shark? Some kind of fantasy hybrid from D&D, like an owlbear? Yeah, the one with the cardboard mask wins. The fake Jotoro is clearly the real one.
:JotaroBC: Yare yare daze…
:KakyoinBC: But then again…

:JosephBC: Enough of these games. Let’s ask the real question here! Jotaro, would you fuck a dolphin?!
:NotBoneraffBC: What? Of course not!
:JotaroBC: Yes.
:NotBoneraffBC: Huh!?
:KakyoinBC: …wait, really?
:JotaroBC: The magnificent dolphin… no, all the magnificent sea life are sacred! The beauty of the sea… the endless waves of the ocean, that is what I fight for. A dolphin, that is my true self! I AM THE DOL-
