I feel like everyone is going to choose A, so I'm gonna play Devil's advocate for B.

If we adopt this thing, we're responsible for it. We'll have to feed it, keep it from destroying anything, and overall be responsible for its behavior. We already have two dependents, we don't need a third, especially one that can't be reasoned with at all.

You have asserted dominance with trickery and assassination. A.

Not sure with what I'll vote, but if we decide to keep it, maybe CC can agree to train it, that ought to give her something to do.

One thing to keep in mind though, Guillermo said that his kaiju have ANTI-ANGEL FEATURES, whatever that means. This one probably has the same features too.

>A, of course!
You wouldn’t be THE Veggie fucking Viewer if you didn’t take in every possibly DESTRUCTIVE abomination you come across, it’s practically your defining clone TRAIT. Normal and Guy have been doing GREAT and Isabella has had a lot of orgasms in the past two days so you feel that you can manage more RESPONSIBILITY.

Guillermo talked to Lung like a fellow ACTOR, though you thought the KAIJU acted more like a PET. Maybe the KAIJU can understand some KIN language? If they’re SENTIENT that’s a whole ‘nother moral dilemma, but you’re not going to worry about that.

>Anti-ANGEL features
Those are the voluptuous tiddies that all the other KAIJU have. This little guy has a flat, if spiny chest. You cluck to him and hold out your hands to show that it’s safe. He pads out to sniff you, and you pet his bony head. The KAIJU is the perfect size for you to ride, though those back spines would quickly become UNCOMFORTABLE.

You continue walking towards the KAIJU holding area until you reach the clearing. The beasts have scattered, though you see that a couple of the smaller ones are DEAD, their bodies mangled by some great FORCE. PIXIE STIX is fluttering around Isabella while she addresses an ANGEL you don’t recognize who resembles a bodybuilder on steroids minus a head. You keep your pal close as you approach.

HEROES LEAGUE HERO RANK S
BEEFCAKE
ANGEL: LEVEL 5 COMBAT
SPECIALTY: PUNCH IT GOOD

Pixie: Oh great, here’s MYRIAD BOREALIS.
Beefcake: I touched–I touched a breast.
Pixie: Get over yourself, Beefcake. Some of us even have tits, it's not a big deal.
Beefcake: No no no, it’s SINFUL, it’s WRONG.
Pixie: It’s FINE. Also we get to relax now that Liminal somehow managed to kill the DEMON LORD, so take a VACATION back HOME and get ABSOLVED if you really feel bad. The BOSS will send the MORTALS we promised to SAVE off this planet in the next couple days and then we can chill and wait for other DEMON LORDS to show up.

What do you say? Also, what do you name your pet KAIJU?

You've got man-boobs for a face. You ever think about that, dude?
Name him STEEVE.

couple days to make sure Liminal/Max doesn't send Izzy and Willamina away. luckily he's skeptical of angels now after our talk with him, but we might need more proof and to get him to warm up to us a bit more, rather than find a loophole out of the contract since that seems like a scummy thing to lie to Max about, and would make us no different from an angel.

For now, maybe ask what they plan to do with the MCD now that they don't need them to evacuate everyone from the Kaiju anymore,

but the more important question is, if taking down Gulliermo was this easy with just a few awakened heroes, why the hell would they wait THIS long rather than deal with him sooner... like say, the moment he attacked your home for example! Did they actually WANT to wait for him to attack Lyst, and eventually Donjon?? Maybe they have an ulterior motive to keep them alive they're keeping secret and we'll catch Pixie in her lies, especially in front of Izzy.

name for Kaiju: Aurora! it fits with your own last name

>>1040772
Ask why that kind of thing even bothers angels. Shouldn't they be able to punch a boob without it being dirty? It's just a body part, only sexual if the intent or action is inherently so. Punching a boob isn't sexy at all...
It's like accusing doctors of being sinful when they do medical examinations of women.

>>1040778

Yeah, boobs can be very sexy if you want 'em to be, but otherwise they're just a part of your body. What's so wrong about touching one of 'em? Maybe if you went in and purposefully fondled them for sexual gratification, but a touch is just a touch.

>>1040775

That MCD question is a great one to ask. You just need them to admit they'll use them for shittiness and you can make a contract with Max to ensure you're telling the truth when you tell him all about it.

As for pet name, I suggest "Lord Remington".

Oh and this might be a good time to ask why you have angel immunity?

Give Isabella a hug and ask if she's okay.

>Remy the KAIJU
Yes, yes, yes, your darling Remy. You’d die for him.

>Hug Isabella
The first thing you do is approach Isabella and offer her a hug. You know it was very stressful for Isabella to face the KAIJU again after Lung almost killed her and you’re grateful that she contributed to the DISTRACTION.

Myriad: How’re you feeling?
Isabella: I’m fine, I think. I-I guess I might be saying GOODBYE to you soon.
Myriad: Hey, you do whatever you think is best for you. Maybe the BOSS can get Cannie at the same time he grabs Willamina from LYST, since you helped kill Guillermo.
Isabella: I hope so…

You rub her lower back and turn to address the ANGELS.

Myriad: Hi Pixie, seems like we keep running into each other. What did you mean when you said Gray would be mad if one of you HURT me? How does he have any say over what you do?
Pixie: He can lay down the LAW because he’s one of the three HEAD ANGELS and what he says goes and it's not our job to QUESTION it. He has a bunch of PACTS about INTERFERENCE since he’s OMNIPRESENT so it’s probably because you stopped CAESAR and messing with you afterwards would be unfair RETALIATION.
Myriad: He’s WHAT?
Pixie: Was that word too big for you? Why do I even bother?
Myriad: Okay okay, don’t worry about it. What’s your plan with the MCDs now that you don’t need them to evacuate DONJON?
Pixie: Jack will deactivate the DEVICES, don’t get your dick in a TWIST about how we’re going to use them for EVIL. I shouldn’t even be talking to you.

Pixie zips away, leaving you with Beefcake who still seems distraught that he touched a KAIJU boob. You decide to give him the Veggie Viewer rational dialogue treatment.

Myriad: Breasts aren’t inherently SEXUAL, you should be fine.
Beefcake: R-really? But they were so voluminous and jiggly and soft and they smelled like flowers.
Myriad: They’re just another body part, it’s not like you were fondling them. In fact, I’d say committing ULTRAVIOLENCE on someone or something with boobs is not SEXY at all. Nuance, Beefcake. Nuance.
Beefcake: Wow, I feel a lot better. Thanks MYRIAD BOREALIS!
Myriad: All in a day’s work.

Beefcake gives you a merry wave before leaping into the air and soaring away.

>Why didn’t the ANGELS kill Guillermo earlier if it was this easy?
You don’t really know how easy it was for MAX since you haven’t talked to him. It could be that the ANGELS didn’t realize his fancy SWORD would be effective against Guillermo or they were scared of getting too CLOSE and thus couldn’t provide a good enough DISTRACTION.

>Now what?
Max, Isabella, Cannie, and Willamina will be sent to another WORLD at the start of DAY 6, unless you interfere. Cannie and Willamina will be EXTRACTED from LYST sometime before then. The people of DONJON are safe for now. You can visit another LOCATION this afternoon and you still want to get into LYST. Max is exhausted and you can’t talk to him again until tomorrow. You’ll be given the option to have CC warn Andrea about Willamina’s imminent CAPTURE tonight.

A. Jack Knight’s HANGAR
B. The FALLEN Bodega
C. The LYST Barricade

C. Test what you've learned about the LYST barrier.

C, check out the barricade. CC can do the thing tonight.

I want to focus on trying to find a way to convince Max to not send everyone away, because who knows what world they might end up in. aAnd not go behind Max's back by having CC tell everyone since we're no lying angel! And if they try to stop the angel from extracting Willamina, they'll try to stop them from extracting Cannie too, which means Isabella might see us betraying her wishes to save her sister and Willamina might not like Cannie being taken either.

two ideas I thought of

one idea would be the fallen bodega, see if one of them has some juicy information on the angels plans? we might need to ask Normal to let us take some of the demon corpse body parts to give as goodwill and to trade for information

another idea to get info that could help stop them from taking Willamina, Cannie, and Izzy away is Jack Knight's place, since she is planning on leaving too. Maybe even talk to her about our own experience with angels and how Caesar lied to us? She might help us convince Max to call the whole thing off if she decides to help us.

I'm not sure which to choose, but the Fallen Bodega I think I'm leaning towards so we can get info for BOTH Max and Jack Knife about any Angel shenanigans for them to hear.

Trying to convince Max to have a chat with Cat would possibly help.

>C
You’re already out here, might as well check on the LYST barricade to see what all the FUSS is about. If what Andrea said was true, the MAGIC part of the barrier shouldn’t work on you because that would count as ANGEL interference.

The ANGELS have to be planning something super evil and wicked even after Guillermo’s death and you’d like to get DIRT on them by talking to the FALLEN, but that can wait for tomorrow.

You take Isabella and Remy back to Normal, who’s eaten about half of the arm, claiming that he’s saving the rest for Guy. Normal offers to throw you over the four meter tall concrete wall, but you politely decline in the interest of your bones and drive back to the road and arrive at the front of the barrier instead.

The same HERO you saw on your first day at DONJON a week and a bit ago is guarding the entrance. After meeting Max, you see now that this KIN bears a vague resemblance to him, but with different pupils. Related or just a fanboy? The suits make all the HEROES look kind of the same.

A. Engage peacefully
B. Sic Normal on him

Sic 'em, Normal!

A, say hi. Ask if you can go inside.

Politely ask if you can go inside and if not threaten to sic normal on him. Then do if he doesn't.

You’re feeling very CALM and RATIONAL and you put a hand on Normal’s shoulder to stop him from getting out of the front passenger’s seat.

Myriad: I’m going to be polite and ask to enter, Normal. No need for any FORCE. We want to make a good impression.
Normal: I wasn’t even gonna murder him, I can just make him open the GATE.
Myriad: You certainly could, but then what would happen when I need to get back OUT? Also we need to stay SQUEAKY CLEAN so Max trusts us when we reinforce the message that ANGELS SUCK.
Normal: Ughhhhhh…

You approach the hero and walk into a POLE that wasn’t there a second ago.

Myriad: Ow! Fuck!
???: Please don’t come any closer Ms. Borealis. I’ve been warned you might come here and I’m prepared to RESTRAIN you if necessary.
Myriad: I just want to go inside the BARRIER to see my sister, she’s the closest family I have left.
???: It’s not safe in there for ANYONE except the highest level HEROES, not to mention the SOUL FIELD will take immediate effect once you pass the threshold.
Myriad: The barrier won’t affect me, I promise I’m not trying to cause any trouble.

You take an experimental step closer and find yourself surrounded by a cage of metal BARS.

???: I’m sorry that it had to come to this, I will be calling my SUPERIOR to escort you away.
Myriad: Uh, Normal? Can you get me out of here?
Normal: I thought we were supposed to be SQUEAKY CLEAN. I’m staying right here since you don’t seem to want me to use my super awesome POWERS.
Myriad: Normal you sunnuvabitch.
Isabella: Sorry, I don’t think I can melt you out without putting you in DANGER.

Tell your best jokes

(Edited)

Fine, just let his superior escort us out to stay SQUEAKY CLEAN. No need to use force to gey out, dont want to get in further trouble in Max's eyes if we want to convince him things are bad tomorrow. For now, we'll use this time to ask questions.

Ask why they still have the soul field up even after the kaiju had been dealt with.

Actually, another question could be to ask him if he knows what kind of world is the heores like Jack Knight or Max going to be evacuating to before the Demon war starts

You groan and test the poles. They’re embedded securely in the ground and you can’t make a dent in them without using some kind of weaponry and at this range you don’t think that’s a good idea.

Myriad: Normal my son, my favorite FALLEN son. Please get me out of here I’m begging you.

Normal turns on the car RADIO and starts playing loud POP MUSIC to drown out your pleas. You sigh and turn your attention to the hero.

Myriad: Hey you! What’s your name?

Myriad: You ever hear the joke about the rabbit who walks into a bar?
Stan: Honestly while the hilarity of slapstick injury never gets OLD, I find puns and cheap wordplay tiresome.
Myriad: Oh, a real comedy expert over here. Hey, are they going to take this barrier down now that the DEMON LORD was dealt with?
Stan: I have no idea, but I doubt it. It was constructed to keep the DUNGEON in LYST secure and the dangerous individuals there QUARANTINED inside until the League decides what to do with them.
Myriad: Hmph. Do you know anything about Liminal and Jack Knight moving to a new PLANET?
Stan: Yes, though I don’t know the details. I hope I can be evacuated too, but I understand if SPACE is limited.

You seethe for maybe 15 minutes in the cramped space before a familiar HUNK comes soaring out of the sky. Stan salutes Beefcake and the ANGEL easily bends the bars out of the way so you can walk free.

Beefcake: Hello again my good pal MYRIAD BOREALIS.
Stan: Pal?! My apologies, sir, I hope I haven’t offended you by restraining her.
Beefcake: Oh no, you did the right thing, allowing Myriad into LYST would be bad and the BOSS would be upset. I’ll make sure she gets back to DONJON safely.

True to his word, Beefcake flies alongside the car while you drive back to the city. Remy keeps his head down the whole time out of FEAR, and you’re glad when you’re all settled and back at the MOTEL.

CC is NOT thrilled that you’ve adopted another potentially DEADLY being and refuses any responsibility for the KAIJU. Remy hides behind a bed while you argue with your CLONE and Isabella awkwardly looks on. Guy chows down on the rest of Guillermo’s arm, then tangles together with Normal to watch TV.

What do you want to do this evening? Also, do you want CC to warn Andrea about the incoming EXTRACTIONS?

A. Spend time with Isabella at her place
B. Spend time with Remy
C. Spend time with Guy and Normal

1. Ask CC to warn Andrea
2. Don’t

A and B, spend time with Isabella and Remy together, introducing her to your new baby and encouraging them to be friends.

1, You like Max, just a little bit- eh... Well, you can kind of respect him at least. You feel a little bad about loopholing a way through his contract, but his plan is bad. Like, really really bad.

> Max: It doesn’t matter what she THINKS she wants...

Maybe fuck him. Have CC warn them.

B) Remy's getting mixed signals because you smell the same as your clone-sister and it's like he's looking at an unstable multiple-personality disorder who's somehow physically arguing with herself. Get him situated with the clone thing.

A) I don't know exactly what is wrong with Max - maybe losing his family in a freak accident made him extra-susceptible to the Angel Youth - but he genuinely believes he is entitled to control people he loves. He can't be trusted, and if his superiors have ignored this level of insanity for years, they can't be trusted either. Not like you'd ever trust a pure Angel ever again...

I'm for several degrees of seperations, the direct agreement was:

> Fine, we’ll shake on it. I’ll try my best to FREE you and you won’t tell the residents of LYST anything about my plans.

He did try his best, and succeeded. Now, you can't tell the residents of Lyst anything about his plans. However you CAN have your clone let Adriana know that now that Guiermo is defeated that the angels and the HL will be considering what to do to Lyst with the quarantine, and that it would be reccomended to tighten up security around any VIPs for any foreign influences that may attempt to invade and or assault any key figures or points.

Basically you're warning them to be extra cautious, but not giving away the goat, sticking to the very fine print of the contract. Sure, just having your clone warn her may be enough degrees of seperation to not endanger the contract considering how it works with the demon ones, but fuck Max, amirite?

I really think that betraying Max like that will damage our work in trying to get Max to see the angels are lying if we're going to be a hypocrite and lie like the angels and break our promise to Max. Plus, letting people in Lyst know about the abduction plan means their probably also going to also try to stop them from taking Cannie too since Willamina still loves Cannie like a sister, which means Isabella might see our actions as an act of betrayal after all that work to get her to be a bit more friendly, especially after gmher confession.

What I think we should do is spend the first action on our next day finding any sort of evidence of the angels being untrustworthy that we can show to Max on our second action to get him to reconsider sending everyone away, and get him to realize his mistake before it's too late.

Patience is key. We already got him skeptical of angels according to the stats from the wiki. we just need one more push.

Spend time with Remy, or Isabella. If Guy and Normal goes hunting, ask them to save piece of demon meat if they find any so we can probably give them to the fallen for advice.

>>1040984
Solid argument.

We should try and find a way to contact Max and plea that he at least talk with the Lyst gang rather than do the extraction in-and-out.

Actually, just spend time with Remy, that way we can stay at the hotel in case there is an encounter in the morning.

C1.

2.

Yes, Max is set to make a horrible mistake, but it's his mistake to make. It would be wrong to break the spirit of a promise and make Max's decision for him.

And... D.
He still has yet to make that decision, though; there's still time to implore him to not make this mistake through his own power. We can even tell him outright that we were considering using a loophole to warn Lyst of the upcoming kidnapping operation, but we didn't, because we respect his ability to make his own decisions.

But he should extend that same courtesy to Willamena.

"How can you even claim to love your sister when you don't even respect her? Is it really [LOVE] motivating your plan... or is this really just your [DESIRE] talking?"

This might be extra "oof" if this convo happens to be in front of angels.

>B, Remy
Does Remy understand the concept of clones? It’s probably doing terrible things to his MENTAL HEALTH to see you and CC argue. The poor KAIJU is already traumatized by the death of his CREATOR so you decide to soothe him outside of the crowded MOTEL room.

There’s a worn pool in the center of the MOTEL. It’s closed due to the season, but the neighboring HOT TUB is open. Steam rises from the water, stinking of chlorine. You take a seat on the lawn adjacent to the TUB and Remy sits himself next to you.

You take the time to examine the KAIJU more closely. He has three thin tails and when you grab one it wraps around your hand with impressive strength and flexibility. His skin is layered with TOUGH, impenetrable scales that you can’t pierce, even with your hunting knife. Remy leans into every touch and headpat you give him and seems to hang onto your every WORD. You try giving him a few instructions, like standing, sitting, and rolling over, and he instantly OBEYS. Already way ahead of Normal and Guy developmentally, it seems.

>Tie – Time to call Andrea yourself and warn her as best you can
You don’t want to talk to CC tonight but you feel the urge to do SOMETHING to help Willamina and Cannie. Well, mostly Willamina, Cannie sounds like she wouldn’t mind being reunited with Isabella.

Myriad: Hey slut! How’s it going?
Andrea: Hold on–Set wants to talk to you.

You feel a chill of foreboding. There’s a muffled exchange of voices before a vaguely familiar sharp tone addresses you.

Set: Am I speaking to VV?
Myriad: Oh, uh yes, hello ma’am.
Set: Do you have any idea what you’ve DONE?
Myriad: Er, are you talking about Guillermo? Well I saved the people of DONJON from MIND CONTROL and/or death.
Set: You may have LOST your sister and everyone here the chance to WIN the WAR. Guillermo was the perfect target for Cat, physically weak and easily distracted. I had a plan for us to ATTACK while the KAIJU were sent to DONJON to KILL him and seize his immense POWER.
Set: And you have FUCKING RUINED EVERYTHING. Now the ANGEL who’s my sworn ENEMY has all of that MANA and ENERGY for himself!
Myriad: I-I didn’t know that was the plan. I had no idea.
Set: Of course you didn’t. You just bumble along recruiting MURDERERS and ABUSERS without any clue to the CONSEQUENCES of your actions. When you somehow manage to make your way to LYST I’ll be grateful that you’re under surveillance and can’t cause any more trouble.
Myriad: I’m sorry, really, I need to warn you–

You gag on your tongue as the SPIRIT PACT stops you from speaking.

Myriad: You need to be–cautious in the next few days.
Set: Wow, what an incredible insight.
Myriad: I mean try to tighten security around ggghhhhhhh—
Set: Don’t tell me you BOUND yourself in a PACT as well. Pathetic. I have no more to say to you.

You drop your phone into your lap, hold onto Remy’s shoulders, and cry.

Normal and Guy graciously offer you their MOTEL bed since they’re going out to fuck and suck in exotic locations around TOWN. You’re worried about their safety but they assure you that with the upgrades from Guillermo’s ARM they’ve grown quite strong.

Remy lies at your feet in bed, curled up in a spiky ball. You’re exhausted from crying and sleep deeply.

>DAY 5
>No Random Encounter
You wake to a series of frantic messages on your COMM from Andrea, who witnessed a glowing yellow HUMANOID enter their BASE when everyone else was asleep and capture Willamina and Cannie.

Cannie and Willamina are now somewhere in DONJON. You’re planning to visit the FALLEN Bodega in the morning then have Isabella take you to Max’s place in the afternoon so you can have a long, serious talk about how he’s making a serious MISTAKE. It’d be nice if you had a gift or something to offer to the LIZARD ANGEL, but she’s probably willing to meet with you either way since she wants your help to rescue Ripley.

Who do you take on your outings today? Pick one or more options.
A. Normal (is taking the SQUEAKY CLEAN moment to heart to annoy you)
B. Guy (doesn’t have wrappings on the rest of his body besides his face anymore, huh)
C. Remy (is a baby)

Life's funny that way, Set. You learn to roll with the punches. And boy, can Normal punch now!
A.

Originally I wanted A+B, can't let him think it bothers you more than it does, plus avoiding him just lets him know that it totally worked.

Also when's the last time you hanged out with Guy huh? Wait shit whose gonna take care of remy then, your clones dont wanna and you cant make a clone to do it, shit. Ughhhhhh

Okay how about B instead since we havent hung out with Guy in forever? Lets see how much he's changed!

B + C, Normal can stay home if he want to be a useless asshole, and you can should over Remy yourself since CC doesn't want to.

B. Sounds nice to talk to him.

Also God what a dumb bitch. She could have told you that information through Andrea at any time. She could have just said she'd help you and you'd do about anything she'd asked since your sister seems to trust her. Literally all you'd set out to do is mourn your dead sister and visit your only remaining, maybe help her out, and heaven and hell seem to be working in concert to hinder you.

>>1041041
I guess this means demons in this area tend to have a +Int, -Wis tendency. Easy to understand how things @#$%ed up, hard to think about accepting @#$%-mitigation.

C

Also reply to Andrea. See if you can get around the contract by texting it. Failing that, send as cryptic a message you can to relate the kidnapping to Max.

Have an epiphany to make you feel better after being told you failed at everything: realize that Set's plan involved ALLOWING the kaiju destroy Donjon, hurting and killing Kin, and letting the angels mind control the population. Set's plan was IMMORAL! Cat shouldn't have to do something so unjust for power, that would be influencing him to reject whatever humanity he has left. You have in fact done NOTHING WRONG and may have saved Cat from going down a dark path!

Also realize Set's enemy DOESN'T have all the Mana and Energy from Guillermo, Guy and Normal ate his arm too. I feel them eating the arm is going to be REALLY important later on.

as for Set badmouthing us for recruiting ABUSERS and MURDERERS, she doesn't realize that they can be REDEEMED, they haven't even heard Isabella's side of the story with what happened during the fire and why she treated Willamina the way she did, and we manage to redeem Normal and Guy by getting them away from Caesar's ideologies.

And just like Isabella, Normal, and Guy, I believe we can redeem Max if we can get him to realize his mistake and potentially help us.



>>1041044
The kidnapping already happened. our goal is to convince Max Angels will not have their well-being in mind and may send them somewhere dangerous. But let's text Andrea and assure her that you will take care of it so you can redeem yourself. You have a plan.

B for me I think. initial thoughts, I think we need to ask the fallen if they know anything about WHERE the angels might be sending the evacuees and what they might do to them. We can probably pay BUX for that information, but as it was stated, They're probably going to want us to help them release Ripley...

If that is the case, we can probably use that to our advantage. One possible idea I have is if they won't accept BUX for information about what world Willamina and Isabella are heading and what the angels plan to do to them, and if they really want to trade information to save Ripley, We'll let the Fallen know that our plan is that we'll be distracting Liminal with the information the fallen provides us to get some drama going between him and the heroes league as a distraction (in a sense, that is the truth, we're going to be trying to convince him with the information we may gather from the Fallen. Just don't use Max's name). Meanwhile, as we're talking to him, the fallen can go in and rescue Ripley. Hopefully by the time we rescue Ripley, Max will be on our side after convincing him and it won't be an issue.

Your fingers go numb a few times, but you manage to send a message that conveys you’re trying to fix the problem. She replies that this Cat fellow is FREAKING OUT over losing his waifu and wants Set to send a special OPs team, so you might be MEETING him later.

>B+C
You want to catch up with Guy, and Remy is everything to you and you cannot leave him in the MOTEL with only Normal and an uncaring CC to supervise. Sure Remy might get some stares from everyday KIN, but you trust that the KAIJU will be perfectly behaved.

You reapply your makeup to pretend to be a FALLEN. Seems like so long ago that Ripley first knocked on your door and started this whole mess. Once Guy is presentable post SEX MARATHON you take the walk to the BODEGA.

It’s still in ruins from the LEAGUE BUST, bricks scattered around the parking lot from Jack Knight’s wall removal and the roof half missing. To your surprise, a KIN, eyes glazed over, walks into the main entrance, bell ringing merrily as he opens the door. The MIND CONTROLLED KIN that the FALLEN control are still bound by their programming, it seems.

There are some unfamiliar FALLEN lurking around, but you don’t have the time for introductions. You wave to the lizard to get her attention, and she hurries over to you. She introduces herself as Bryce, Level 2 combat with special paralytic poison POWERS.

Bryce: I’m glad that you’re okay, I have no idea how the HEROES found us so quickly right after you arrived.
Myriad: Yeah…that sure was bad timing.
Bryce: Anyway, if you and your crew help us, I bet we can break Ripley out of the HEROES LEAGUE Headquarters. ANGELS usually kill FALLEN, but since Ripley is so talented and handsome they’re probably going to KEEP her.

Your gut makes a sudden, determined run for your throat as you realize your miscalculation. The ANGELS might not have the artificial MCDs, but they do still have the original DEVICE and a FALLEN they can force to make more.

>Ask the FALLEN about where the ANGELS send the KIN they SAVE
Bryce isn’t familiar with the process and doesn’t have a CLUE.

Max will not be at the HL Headquarters since he’s still recovering at home. You’ll run into ordinary HEROES and have a 25% chance of encountering the BOSS.
A. Offer to bust Ripley out by YOURSELF (+1 SUS)
B. Work with the FALLEN to free Ripley (-2 SUS, with many opportunities to gain SUS later)

A. Ripley might know better...

>>1041051
B. The FALLEN are your only chance to get anything done. They are literally the only organized group you're in contact with that can accomplish anything in DONJON without the angels having their hands in it.
If you can influence them in a way that benefits Set and Cat then that may make up for the frankly absurd disaster you unknowingly orchestrated.

I'm fine with either. Maybe during the raid, we can search for proof to help us with Max, or Ripley might know something that can help us with Max.

>>1041054
Agreed. Maybe we can convince Ripley and the others to release the kin from control while we're at it? Unlikely to work but I think it's worth a try.

>>1041056
I dont know, that would probably raise our SUS meter if we ask that. But maybe if we get our sus meter much lower it'd be good.

Alright, I thought really hard about it, but l think I'll go for B. I realize that after we were stopped and captured at the Lyst barrier, theres nothing that will stop them from doing that again here before we even reach Ripley's prison or find information. The fallen's distractions against the heroes could benefit us too if we want to investigate.

Plus, seeing a battle happen between the fallen and the heroes sounds like it'll be a fun sight to behold storywise

>B
The FALLEN may be doofuses, but they’ve survived this long and you want to stay on their GOOD side. You agree to work with Bryce, who explains the plan. The other FALLEN will cause CHAOS around DONJON to draw out as many major HEROES as possible, while you and Bryce infiltrate the building and find Ripley’s cell. While the FALLEN deploy to various locations around the city, you take Guy and Remy aside to have a private discussion.

Myriad: So Guy, how’ve you been?
Guy: I’m fine. I like SEX. I’ll help you rescue Ripley if you want.
Myriad: Yes, thank GODDESS, Normal was giving me a hard time when I tried to get to LYST yesterday. Man, most of yesterday SUCKED.
Guy: Why?
Myriad: Well turns out killing Guillermo was BAD according to this master plan I had no knowledge of and apparently everything I do just makes things more of a MESS.
Guy: I don’t think that’s true. You’re trying your best and you’re only an ordinary KIN.
Myriad: Yeah. Anyway, can you fight without killing people?
Guy: Um, I have a lot more control over my LIGHT, so probably.
Remy: Wak!

Thankfully there’s no sign of any ominous YELLOW humanoid at the headquarters foyer. Bryce leaps into action instantly, sinking her fangs into the nearest GUARD and using her tail to throw another into the wall. No alarms go off, but FIVE heroes who are milling around draw their weapons or summon balls of ENERGY.

Choose your method of attack. Remy and Guy will follow your lead.
A. Be violent (-1 SUS, 30% chance of killing each HERO)
B. Try to avoid casualties (+2 SUS, 10% chance of killing each HERO)

A. Avoid sus

A. Let's dance with the angels.

B - Claim that you prefer to dull your claws in fights, it helps you improve faster.
Execute a hero if they're unsatisfied and can manage to capture a hero in this mess.

A, FIGHT!

>A
You take out your PISTOL and start shooting, doing your best to aim for glancing shots instead of anything that could be fatal. You’re not a perfect marksman, and more often than not the bullet hits a CHEST or THIGH when it makes contact at all.

Guy and Remy take your use of firearms as permission to go HAM. Remy reveals a set of sharp TEETH you were previously unaware of, while Guy shoots DEADLY BLINDING LASERS with impunity. Bryce cackles with approval at the CARNAGE.

>Dead heroes: 1
>Murderer random selection: Remy

The HEROES all retreat, some sporting serious BURNS or bleeding heavily. The only one who doesn’t escape is a VEGGIE-KIN who Remy is whipping back and forth. You hear a SNAP and the KIN’S celery stalk of a neck breaks in two. He drags the corpse over to you and you shakily pat him on the head.

It’s easy to clear the way to the BASEMENT floor, where you find Ripley moping in an ordinary JAIL CELL reminiscent of your prison at the hands of Stan yesterday. The shark seems unharmed, though she’s missing her OVERCOAT and RINGS and ARTIFACTS, including the MCD. Guy cuts through the lock and Ripley jumps into Bryce’s arms.

Ripley: Myriad! Thanks for saving me and I’m glad you’re alive, I have no idea how the HEROES found us so quickly right after you arrived.
Myriad: It will remain forever a mystery.
Ripley: Let’s get outta here Bryce, get outta DONJON. Too many STRONG ANGELS, it ain’t safe.
Bryce: You’re right, I’ll gather up the CREW.

Guy nudges you while Bryce and Ripley continue their enthusiastic reunion.

Guy: The BOSS isn’t in the BUILDING right now. We can look for the MCD. He’ll come soon, though.

A. Use your extra time to search for the MCD in the BOSS’ OFFICE
B. Tell the FALLEN that it’d be best if they didn’t make MCDs anymore, since ANGELS want them. They will take your advice. (+3 SUS)

Since you’ll have less than 5 SUS before you say goodbye to the FALLEN, Bryce will exchange numbers with you and you can make CONTACT in the future.

B. We might as well use that trust to make the world a better place.

>>1041108
A. If we leave it here, it'll be used on Willamina probably. Also if we can keep it, we can deliver it to Cat and company, so they can try to develop a countermeasure.

A + B. Tell them as you search. If that isn't an option, then just A. You'll get their contact info, you can suggest it later.

>>1041111
Good point. I'm with that.

A+B) Say that you suspect the MCDs might be doing something that makes them easily detectable, but you don't know. Either way, the Heroes will reverse-engineer the MCDs they do have, and can use that knowledge to track down component suppliers and ambient signals. It would be best for the fallen if they stopped using MCDs, at least until they can customize a new version that won't be tracked any time soon.

Since you’ll have a chance to contact the FALLEN again to recommend not being EVIL, you decide to prioritize the MCD that currently exists. If Willamina causes too much trouble you BET they’ll use the device on her and they might even be smart enough to think of PASSWORD PROTECTION.

You bid Bryce and Ripley a hasty farewell then make a dash for the elevators. From your exploration of the headquarters a few days ago, you suspect the BOSS’ OFFICE is on the top floor. Remy gallops around the hallway, whinnying with excitement, as you run to the solitary locked door and instruct Guy to blast it open.

At first you think you’ve stumbled into a supply closet. The room is totally BARREN besides a standard office desk and chair. There’s zero personal items or MAGIC paraphernalia in the drawers, which makes searching for the MCD much easier. You’re honestly surprised this BOSS ANGEL isn’t keeping such an important tool on his PERSON.

Your hand touches a small piece of carved BONE right when Guy gasps. You take a tight hold of the MCD in your fist and turn to see the BOSS.

NUNITUS PRESIDENT
BOSS
ANGEL: RECENTLY ELEVATED TO LEVEL 8
HINT: ASK HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING OCT. 9TH 2019 AT THE HADLEE MANSION

Before you can puzzle out what RED Myriad is talking about, Guy and Remy both rush behind you for cover from the yellow tinted, vaguely see-through figure. He’s shaped like an average height, thin HUMAN, with one enormous eye in his face. You get the sense that he’s waiting for you to speak.

>HINT: ASK HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING OCT. 9TH 2019 AT THE HADLEE MANSION
"... Holy ^&*(. You... *Dramatic Point* DID YOU KILL THE HADLEES?!"
Methinks Demon!Myriad is trying to tell you Max is in the room. You need to be straight to the point, act like you were given some kind of vision previously and it's all starting to line up.
>No.
"THEN WHY - you pushed Isabella to do it."

> HINT: ASK HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING OCT. 9TH 2019 AT THE HADLEE MANSION

...Yeah okay, let's do that.

...Truck-kun?

Thats a pretty big hint right there! Yeah, ask him that question Red Myriad wanted you to ask

Put your comm in audio recording mode. Whatever he says will be proof we need to snap Max outta it, and perhaps rekindle willamina and isabella's friendship... along with showing max the mind control device as proof they didnt destroy the mcd and lied!


>Methinks Demon!Myriad is trying to tell you Max is in the room

Max is at his home. But maybe willamina and Cannie is here? If so, they need to know what really happened at the Hadlees

Crazy idea: does the MCD work on angels like this guy? What if we can get a direct answer that way? Probably not... but... hmm. Use as last resort?

You, Remy, Guy, and BOSS. Nowhere for anyone else to hide.

>MCD
Ripley mentioned way back when that this was a KIN specific MCD, so it won’t work on ANGELS or DEMONS.

>Hadlee???
RED Myriad is severely overestimating your ability to recognize names you’ve never heard before. Okay okay, contextual clues, by the date Isabella would have been about the age she mentioned when she claimed she BURNED that family, so you guess that was the Hadlees. So Willamina is a Hadlee? And BOSS was there for some probably NEFARIOUS reason? Isabella did say she doesn’t clearly remember the incident and the mention of it makes BOOTLICKER Max touchy which is basically confirmation. You fumble for your COMM and set it to RECORDING.

>Say the line, VV
Myriad: Did you kill the Hadlees?

BOSS blinks.

BOSS: YES.
Myriad: Uh, okay. Why?
BOSS: SABA HADLEE WAS TOO CLOSE TO FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE.
Myriad: Totally know who that is, great. Honestly I don’t know what else to ask you about so maybe we can just…

Myriad: Wha–That’s his FUCKING SISTER??? Bro I’m outta here.

Your defensive positioning is successful in getting away from the terrifying ANGEL. Once you’re outside you sigh and check on Guy and Remy, who is back to looking like an innocent CREATURE.

You’re due to meet with Isabella, and you go to her apartment in a bit of a DAZE. When you knock, Cannie, the KIN you recognize from Isabella’s pictures, answers. She glares at you for a moment, before gesturing for you to come inside.

Cannie: Can’t believe my sis is fucking a BOREALIS. Izzy filled me in about the SHIT that’s been going on, I’m ready to take the ANGEL deal and get away from FAUNUS.
Myriad: As long as they’re sending you somewhere HABITABLE.
Cannie: Yah think Isabella wouldn’t check for that? We’re not stupid, you know.

You sigh again, incredibly TIRED. Isabella brings you a glass of RED JUICE, which you sip while you pet Remy and contemplate your options.

A. Tell Isabella the TRUTH (She will no longer want to LEAVE or work with the ANGELS, but she’ll be a wreck for the rest of the day and won’t help with MAX)
B. Hey gang! Let’s go see our buddy Liminal!

>>1041157
B, then tell Isabella the truth right in front of Max.

B. We'll let Isabella know DURING our talk with Max. We got recordings, mind control device, and everything. It'd be best if everyone was there to hear what boss said.

B, but be ready for it to be difficult. Max doesn't like you, Cannie seems not-thrilled about you, and Isabella likes Max. If you get any blowback when.you lay out your facts, there's a chance Isabella might side with the others. That would suck, she deserves at least a little better than that.

A. Keep his prize? I don't think so.

Oh and send a copy of that recording to all the other Myriad clones.

>>1041166
B/This

>>1041163
Agreed!

B. And maybe tell Isa that this may get a bit emotionally heavy.

Haha I thought of something amazing.
Once we get into LYST, we can have RED sign a demon contract with Cat (or Set I guess) to allow them to use her infinite cloning power. Also since RED is a demon, and demons can absorb other demons... we could empower Cat that way. Heck, since RED can infinitely clone herself, can't she act as an infinite fuel source for other demons...?

>>1041166
We can probably also send the recording to our sister. Who knows, maybe she'll send it to Cat and the others so they can get a better understanding of what happened too.

>B
Isabella is invaluable in your plan to talk to Max, and you want to reveal the truth while they’re BOTH present. Cannie stays at the apartment while you take Remy and Guy along to the FINAL CONFRONTATION.

>Back-up that recording
You send a copy of BOSS’ confession to CC, Andrea, and the Myriad group chat for good measure. Call it pessimism, but you’re not sure you or your belongings are going to make it out of Max’s condo.

>Mom permission check: FAILURE
You receive a thanks from Andrea with the message that Cat was unable to get Set’s permission to send a TEAM outside the BARRIER. Seems like you’re on your own.

The doorman at Max’s fancy complex knows Isabella by name, and graciously allows your motley crew access to the luxury building. You shudder to think how much BUX this place costs a night and you definitely would have had to use force to get inside if you didn’t have Izzy.

You stand back while Isabella knocks on Max’s door. You hear cheerful female laughter when it opens, revealing Max in a blue BATHROBE. He glowers at you over Isabella’s shoulder.

Isabella: Max, I wanted to make sure you were alright after yesterday, we didn’t get a chance to CHECK on you. Um, also, Cannie was in my apartment this morning and I was wondering if Willamina was here? I never r-really apologized to her and since we’re going to be LEAVING together I thought it’d be best to talk.

Max hesitates, caught between not wanting to let you in and Isabella’s compelling words. Finally, he grunts and stands to the side.

You step into a relatively NEAT and SPACIOUS bachelor pad. Remy’s claws click on the hardwood floor and you spot a woman with massive BURN scars making food in the kitchen. She’s wearing a dress and matching heels like an old-timey HOUSEWIFE. It’s disturbing, even as someone who never knew Willamina before. The smiling doll with a plate of sandwiches is worse than the KIN you saw at the bodega, and the fact that she’s Max’s SISTER makes it extra SKEEVY.

>Willamina has been MIND CONTROLLED
>Max is a MAJOR STINKER and will not listen to rational arguments about why MIND CONTROL is bad

Willamina: Izzy! It’s been ages.

She puts down her butter knife and embraces Isabella, who squawks in surprise. The canine carefully puts her hands on Willamina’s waist to return the hug.

Isabella: W-Willamina? Are you not mad at me anymore?
Willamina: Of course not, Izzy. I want us all to be HAPPY and friends again like when we were young. With the help of the ANGELS we’ll be able to start a new life.
Isabella: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for everything…

While Willamina and Isabella hug each other and cry, you sidle over to Max.

Myriad: What happened when you attacked Guillermo?
Max: He seemed confused by the distractions, so I was able to approach without him noticing. When I got close enough I tried to strike with my SWORD and he created some kind of totally immersive WORLD around us to escape.
Max: I had to fight MONSTERS and navigate through IMPOSSIBLE landscapes. It was like trying to make sense of a DREAM that lasted for weeks.
Max: I almost went INSANE in there, but I held on and finished the JOB and found myself back in the CAMP. BOSS was able to heal me and take me here SAFELY after he consumed the LORD’S BODY.

Thanks to the fight with Guillermo, Max has gone through some serious KIN power scale LEVELING since you last saw him and fighting him will be a DANGEROUS task.

With the knowledge that no one is coming to rescue Willamina, it’s time for the BIGGEST choice. You can only pick ONE option, since Max will be quick to react to any disturbance.

A. Use the MCD on Willamina to make her stop following Max’s ORDERS (Isabella will lose TRUST in you, Max will stay on FAUNUS to hunt you down, you’ll escape with Willamina and have to flee to LYST immediately. Cannie and Isabella will leave tomorrow as planned.)

B. Reveal the TRUTH about the FIRE (Isabella will no longer want to LEAVE or work with the ANGELS, but she’ll also ATTACK Max and have a 50% chance of serious permanent injury that will NOT result in death. Max and Willamina will leave tomorrow as planned.)

C. Attack Max with Guy and Remy (70% success to drive Max away so you can get the benefits of A and B, 60% chance of DEATH each for you and Remy, Max will stay on FAUNUS to hunt you or your remaining clones down)

A. Max is going to stay on Faunus either way that involves rescuing Willamina, so let's ruin his and the angels' plans while living to tell about it. The truth will still be there when Isabella gets around to it.

C

>>1041242
>70% chance of winning against Max
How the fuck? We're seriously underpowered compared to him.

A. What was even the point of all this? We didn't accomplish anything except for fucking up the plans of an ally.

C C C C C C C

Okay, so worst case scenario, you land the 30% chance and fail to drive him away, while also hitting the 60% chance of death for both you and Remy. That'd be lame, but notably not the worst option imaginable. Max keeping Willamina still is a major sacrifice, but the only option that guarantees she's safe is A, which fucks over Isabella hard. If she loses trust in you, she's going to fall back into a shitty crowd and lose all of her character development. That'd be the worst possible ending.

If you die, you've got spares. It won't be the end of Myriad Borealis, you'll live on through your alternate selves. If Remy dies, it'll be sad, but you haven't really had him for all that long. All in all, the worst consequence of C is simply... well, the chance of failure. It'll suck ass if we hit that 30%.

Maybe we can improve our odds a bit by being creative? After all, we have an MCD, why can we only use it on Willamina? Maybe you can use it against Max to force him not to fight or run away. Depends on how easy to use the thing is.

A. This is the final choice, let's take no chances!

C

Take the risk, go for the best outcome.

B. Permanent injuries can be replaced with cyberware, but this mental injury has stunted her mind for too long.

You know what? I changed my mind.

C. I hope we fail every roll, so that tippler stops putting dicerolls on major plot events.

B so we can keep the progress we made with Isabella and then Cat can go rescue her later.

Max gives bad vibes (tm) and all other options have him chasing you

A. He's mind controlling his fucking sister. How do the other two not even have a slight thought that might be the case? Maybe you should cut your losses at this point and take what set said to heart.

Just thought of something
What if we can raise our chance of success on C if we use a flash grenade to blind him?

Our chances of success rose before when we used a smoke grenade before after all

>C
The moment you make your decision, Max twitches almost imperceptibly. No no no, don’t say he has PRECOGNITION too! This feels fucking impossible.

You excuse yourself to the bathroom, taking Remy and Guy with you. If he’s already suspicious, might as well plan your attack. You give the MCD to Guy, unable to stop your eyes from being drawn to the deep whorls carved into the bone before your vision goes RED and you recover. Guy nods along as you explain that he should use the device on Willamina ONLY if Max is defeated, and to take Isabella back to the MOTEL to hear the recording from CC if you die. You plant a tearful kiss on Remy’s head, then check your pistol.

Max is alone when you return to the living room.

Max: I told the ladies to wait in the hallway while we FINISH our business.
Myriad: What you’re doing to Willamina is SICK and WRONG.
Max: Sure. It doesn’t matter anymore. Once I’ve finally gotten rid of you, in SELF-DEFENSE for your information, we can finally be happy together.

He waits for you to attack first. You raise your gun and shoot at the empty air where he was just standing.

It’s a good thing the condo is BIG because between Guy’s lasers and Max teleporting every half a second, you’re spinning around mostly blinded trying to get a bead on the HERO.

Remy survival check: SUCCESS
Remy reveals another set of unexpected skills when Max appears behind him, sword prepared to swing. The KAIJU grapples Max with his three TAILS and the spikes embed in his skin, forcing him to warp away.

VV survival check: FAILURE
You’re the next target. Max kicks you hard in the stomach, knocks the gun out of your hand, then thrusts his whole weight forward, sword sliding through your ribs and out the other side of your robe with ease. There’s a few moments of PANIC, before the blood loss delirium kicks in and you DIE.

You come back into being with a feeling of vertigo before crushing the clone’s personality and petty objections to your sweet baby Remy into dust. CC’s been doing nothing but sitting around the MOTEL all day and it’s easy to reassert VV as the DOMINANT cognitive force.

You’re standing by the LYST Barrier. It’s night and there are twisted poles sticking out of the ground everywhere, remnants of Stan’s POWER. You spot the HERO out cold to your side, literally encased in a block of ICE.

Max attack check: SUCCESS!
Guy: Hey Myriad, our Myriad, are you back? We did it! After Max stabbed you I got a good wide angle blast on him and DISINTEGRATED his left side really bad. Dunno where he went but I got to help Willamina and Isabella afterwards and I took what was left of your body here so CC could make a clone to ABSORB you.
Remy: Wak wak wak!

You see Willamina, jaw set, wearing some of Isabella’s spare clothes instead of that horrible outfit. Isabella’s eyes are red and she wipes the snot off her nose before giving you a weak smile. Cannie isn’t there and Normal is carrying a stack of SUITCASES and other STUFF.

CC is standing at the open gate. She gestures to you impatiently.

CC: Come on, we can make an entrance through the BARRIER by forming an arch with our combined bodies that they can walk through. Andrea better have clothes for one of us in LYST and I don’t want to wait around to see who got lucky.
