Don't get to carried away now but, it's quite okay to just sit until the shakes stop.

Don't worry to much about it, I hear only one in 10 people can kill their first without the post-combat 'difficulties.'

But yes, after you've caught your breath you guys probably need to gather up this stuff and GTFO quick. Somebody is going to know they are gone, and I doubt they were the only ones in on this.

>>158021
Showing the video to Everett will probably be enough for him to break off ties to the Ark fraternity, since it clearly shows how little they value him beyond how they can use him.

>>158024
Again, spend the night together in each others arms. It'll help keep you calm, and will make it far less likely for you to suffer a panic attack in the middle of the night.

>>158028
If you ask me, Everett will be freaked out that we killed some of his 'friends'. If you think about it, them kidnapping Dio was almost something like "Come back Everett we love you! Look at what we're willing to do to get you back!"

Well, you should at the very least warn Jai, the Dean, and Dahlia's Dad. Jai should know since the Ark could possibly take some even more extreme action to get Everett back, Dahlia's Dad should know since even without the mob stuff, a father should know is someone just tried to kidnap his daughter, and the Dean because he's the one responsible for you two while you're at this school to begin with.

Show Everett too. It's not really our choice whether or not he joins the Ark, and he should know what they tried to do, and how fanatical they are about trying to get him to join.

Also scoop up those Oculi and get them to the Dean. We already know how batshit the Ark is about getting their Oculi.

>>158054
Grab the oculi and the camera. Go to Jai and give her the video with instructions that the dean, Everett, and Dahlia's dad all need to see it.
Spend the night in each others arms in Jai's room. She's killed before, she'll be happy to guard you two while you recover, and she'll attest that nothing happened.
Tell Dahlia that tomorrow you two need to decide if the dean or her dad should get the oculi.

Tomorrow:
Decide who gets the oculi.
Dahlia should probably tell her father that you two are dating, since this is as good a time as any and you just saved each others lives.
Everything else.

I hope Dahlia remembered to turn the camera off.

After about half a minute Dahlia pulls away and pulls out her phone. "I'm calling Daddy. He'll help us out."


"And so I took out the pocketwatch, and-few people know this, but Nephilim go simply insane for anything shiny, it's true-and Lotheriax dived for it, right as the crossbow bolt hit where he had been just a moment ago. No, I swear to the spirits, it's true! I-"

Key points:
Dahl is now dating Dio.
Dio and Dahl taken hostage by Ark fraternity.
Plan was coerce another student via piece-by-piece return and murder.
D&D killed their captors.
Have some Ark oculi he can have, and need a power player to prevent reprisal.

>>158720
Someone is going to be up to their eyes in shit very soon.

You would think people do some research before they try to do the whole kidnapping, torture extortion thing.

Well Dio, atleast you should have Euros gratitude for helping his little girl.

Let's hope that's not about you Dio... probably not... but still. Don't ever piss of this man without a damn good plan.

"He wants to talk to you," says Dahlia, handing over the phone.
Dio takes it. "Hello?"
"It's Dio, right?" says Euro in a calm voice.
"Yes, sir."
"Yessir. I like that. Dahlia told me you were quite the fighter just now."
"Um."
"Relax, kid. I'm not going to bite your head off, alright? Just call me Euro."
"Okay."
"You alright, Dio? First kill can get to you, I know."
"I think I'm okay."
"All right. You want someone to talk to about shit you can't talk to anyone else about, let me know. And send me your stained robes. In my profession it pays to have a knack for getting bloodstains out of everything."
"Yes sir. Euro."
"You saved my daughter's life, Dio. These were Good Deaths. You'll be repaid, somehow. I'm going to have a talk with some of my friends in the Fraternity. We'll figure this whole messy business out. So, what were you going to do with the Oculi they dropped?"

Was GOING to try and give them to the dean... would that be a bad idea somehow?

>>158736
What does he think we should do with them?

'Cause we were having trouble coming up with something reasonable, as I remember.

'Honestly, I have no idea. I figured I'd keep them until I came up with a good use for them.'

>>158736
"Honestly? I'm happy enough that Dahlia's ok and you're alright with us dating.
We were planning on handing the oculi over to either you or the dean. What would you suggest?"

>>158736
"I admit to being currently out of my league, and while I considered turning them over to the dean, that could leave Dahlia and myself potentially open to reprisals. Then I considered giving them to you, if you wanted to claim that the Ark members were killed for capturing your daughter and threatening her... again, I wish I had more experience about what to do in this situation, but in absence of that, I could use the advice of someone a bit more well-versed in more critical situations like this.

So, Euro, Sir... What do you think I should do with them?"

I think establishing a baseline of being an honest kid would probably go best right now, and in his partly shocked state, I can see Dio being very honest.

"I don't know. I was thinking maybe of giving it to the dean. Would that be a bad idea?"
"Yes. A very bad idea. The Ark scare people. The Dean will just give the Oculi back if he gets them. Now I'll take them, and they'll be useful to me, but you should know I'd do illegal things with them. Black market, you know how it is. If you're not comfortable with that yet find a guy named Orpheo Diraiphe at your school. He's a professor. Big nose. Give them to him and he'll know what to do with them."
"Orpheo's my mentor."
"No shit? He's one of my contacts on Campus. Keeps me in the know, you know? You must be the wunderkind he's always talking about."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He sees himself in you, I think. Doesn't like your poetry, though. So. You're dating my girl."
It's more a flat statement than a question.

>>158753
"Yeah, but this wasn't exactly what I had in mind for a first date."

Say "Yes sir"

>>158753
"I... yeah?"

or something like that.

>>158753
Moment to not stutter, OR sound scared.

You knew his knowledge would come when you entered this relationship. Answer with whatever courage you can.

"Yes, Euro, I am. Seeing as how I don't know what kind of father you are, I'll simply leave it at I like her a great deal, and I trust her. But then, I imagine you know Dahlia better than I do."

So, Thero, how good are you at sensing emotion in dialogue, even when someone tries to mask it? That would seem to be a strong point for beings dealing with a realm heavily influenced by impulse and the subconscious. Can you give us you best guesses for how Euro feels? And maybe Dahlia too? I imagine she is rather curious about the phone call's path as well.

>>158753
Say you would like to if she sticks with you after this disatrous first date.

I think the occuli should go to Orpheo. He should know what to do with it.

And Dio, you never said you wrote poetry. You have to show some of your work. Just run it by Thero before you read any for Dahlia though.

>>158753
"Yes. I'm one of the few people who have ever managed to land a hit on her in the arena, and she's one of the most ingenious people I've ever met. It came down each of us having one touch left, and she scored it first. She asked me out later that day, and I leapt at the offer.

As far as first dates go this was much more... exciting than I expected."

"I'd like to," says Dio. "If she'll forgive me for the disastrous first date."
Dahlia laughs and puts her arm around him.

"I give you the blessings of the father, then, Dio." says Euro. "You'll be her third, but I don't think either of the others were all that serious. They certainly never killed cultists with each other, anyway. I'm not going to intrude on you two. I like you, kid. I don't fully know why, but my instinct tells me you're a good guy, and you learn to follow instinct when you do what I do. Have fun."
"Yes sir."
"Oh, and, ah, one more thing. I know she's sixteen now, you're around the same age, and things can happen then. Nothing I say will stop either of you, and that's fine. But if when you do, you don't use protection, and you knock up my little girl...

'Thank you, sir. Euro. Sir.'

>>158768
Right let's be sure to never get on this guy's bad side for any reason ever.

...Eep

Bring the oculi to Orpheo post haste. Also, fawning reply etc etc.

"I understand perfectly, sir. I hope your night improves." and hand the phone back to Dahlia.
You know, somehow that threat's actually less intimidating coming from a crime lord.

Tell Dahlia "He says he likes me and that I have his blessing... and that if we don't use protection and I knock you up then I'll wind up an unsolvable murder... I would be more intimidated by that if it wasn't completely expected.

He said we could give these to Orpheo, but lets do that tomorrow. Tonight all I want to do is go to Jai's room where it's safe, and sleep in your arms."

>>158774
>>158775
>>158776
First? That line is expected when coming from accountants, and he's a crime lord.
Second? He's a CRIME LORD; fawning replies and sucking up are just going to make him lose respect for you.

Keep it to a simple and serious "Yes, sir". No fear or fake happiness or anything other than confidence.

>>158768
"Of course, sir. Thank you."

"Wouldn't expect anything less, sir. "

Give the oculi to Orpheo

>>158768
"Abstinence is sounding like such a lovely idea right now."

>>158800
(don't add aloud)
and if that fails I happen to have just been gifted a handy amulet in such circumstances...

>>158768
"I'm a responsible man, sir."

Before you hand over those oculii, memorize the way that they look. Every Detail. Disguising yourself, or others, as an Ark member later might be important.

>>158805
"I'm wearing protection right now."

>>158800
>>158816
UNICODE STARE

>>158768
Say goodbye as if that didn't faze you at all, and consult Orpheo about the Oculi.

>>158768
"Thank you, and I hope this news did not alter your own machinations overmuch. Fare well."

Let Uero hang up first, he is probably used to it. Then put the phone down, and make a promise to yourself: KEEP THAT GOD DAMN AMULET ON YOU AT ALL TIMES. There is no guarantee hormones and situational appropriateness can be avoided, so might as well carry what you need to keep her father from killing you with you at all times.

Beyond that, yeah, you should probably bring two to Orpheo, and send the other to Euro. The two serve to keep you in his good graces, allow you to inform him of what happened, and the third going to Euro will mean people will start to wonder if he had a hand in your escape. Should mea you get underestimated, which means your chances of survivinganother encounter like this go up.

Beyond that, Ask Dahlia if you could spend some time sparring with her, you want to work off some stress. It also will allow you to assess whether you are going to have any issues to work out from your first kill.

"Of course, sir. Thank you. I'll be careful."
"I know you will, kid. Y'know, I think I see as much me in you as I see Orpheo. Bye."
He hangs up and gives the phone back to Dahlia. "What'd he say?" she asks. "Did he do the whole 'screw-her-and-I'll-find-you' thing?"
"He said if you get pregnant I'll end up an unsolvable mystery."
"Really? That's more leeway than he usually gives," says Dahlia, flipping the phone shut. "He does that with everyone, Dio, don't worry about it. It scared my first boyfriend away. What now?"
"Now? I'm giving the oculi to Orpheo, I think. Could you go get Everett and Jai and show them the video? They need to know."

Dio hands the oculi over to Orpheo, who takes them with more than his usual solemnity, for he knows what Dio had to do to get them. Dio tells him what happened.
"I see," says Orpheo. "Every battlemage has blood on their hands, Dio. If you had pursued this path you are taking you would have killed sooner or later. I am glad your first kill was so purely motivated. But Dio."
"Yes, master?"
"I respect your decision to see his daughter, but I worry about Euro. Our partnership is profitable for both parties, and I count him as a friend, but make no mistake, Dio. Euro zer Veltkrick is not a good man. Not by any stretch of the imagination. He is a criminal and a killer. Be careful. Please."
"Of course, master."

Pyramus, Jai, and Everett all see the video, and Pyramus promptly cancels the Gym training for today. It's noon, now, and Dio and Dahlia have the rest of the day open.

>>158937
We should probably do something like talk to Everett, see how he feels about all this.

>>158937
Spend time with Dhalia, talk about things including but not limited to combat techniques. You two will need to know how to fight together more effectively. No sparring today though, you should both rest and stay fresh for any further trouble.

>>158941
Yeah I don't think we've really talked to him yet have we? I mean, if he is going to be dating our best friend we should probably get to know the guy a little more than "oh hey we went to the same party once or something."

Since we're getting involved with organized crime, it'll be good to have some sort of protection just in case. Making some friends in the Authority could be good for our health.

While we're thinking long-term, the next time you try to summon a magical servant, try to get one that actually wants to be summoned. That way, it's more likely to make a deal with you and less likely to to try kill all your friends.

Speaking of which, how's the squatter in your head doing? Maybe you could introduce him and Dahlia to each other.

>>158937
Spend some time with Everett, Jai, Dahlia and see if Pyramus wants to hang out as well.

Having other people around you could be good. Also tell Everett that you don't blame him for what happened. It was the Arks fault, they're the ones to blame. Not him for wanting out of a fraternity that demands that their members mutilate themselves.

>>158952
>Making some friends in the Authority could be good for our health.
Or, you know, not. The only people we should be really trusting is our current circle of friends. Period.

Dio needs to talk with Everett and see how he feels about all this. It's pretty important to get his input.

I think we should show the video to Orpheo as well.

Dio has been generally avoiding Everett, but whatever. He asks around for him and finds him in the library.
"Hi," he says.
"Hey," says Everett.
"I'm sorry about, you know."
"It's cool."
"It wasn't your fault, man. They were just- you know."
"Yeah."
"Okay."

That could have gone better.

>>158990
Well tell him that if he ever needs anything or feels like hanging out he just has to ask.

Then find Dahlia and see if she wants to hang out. Maybe have Pyramus around as well. He's been on his alienation and has been a combat mage for some time, he should understand what you're both going through.

>>158990
Ah... hmm. Not much for small talk, but you still want to offer something as a gesture of goodwill, like being there if he needs help or something. A quiet bro is still a bro.

How about you just extend your hand and say "If you ever need anything, like for kicking ass or whatever, I'm there, ok?"

We should talk to Jai first.

>>158990
"Say... what are you gonna do?"

Invite him to a movie night with the group or something. We need to let him know it's cool without outright saying it (again), and resuming normal friend behaviour is a good way to do this.

Then set to work inviting other people to said movie night. We're all buds here.

"Seriously, man. I'm happy you and Jai are dating. Don't let this get to you. Me and Dahlia are both battlemages, we can look after ourselves, especially now that we know to keep our eyes open.

Is there anyone else you can think of who might be targeted by those Ark guys?"

Ask him how he sees out of that mask. I don't see any eye-holes!

And about a half hour later Dio's back on his favorite dock, watching the ocean with Dahlia.
"I had no idea there was a pier here," says Dahlia.
"Few people do," says Dio. "It's where I sometimes go to, you know."
"Feel all quiet and reflective?"
"Yeah. We killed people."
"They would have killed us, but yeah. We killed people."

And then Pyramus and Jai show up out of nowhere.

"Not hungry," says Dio.
"Yes you are," says Jai.
"Yes I am," says Dio, taking one.

They eat in silence.

Talk to Dahlia about this. Her father might want to see the video too, eventually.

First get that birth control charm implanted inside your body.
After that, spend the day with Dahlia and Pyramus. Also, look into better ways of quickly communicating with each other and practice them.
It is not possible to overstate the utility of quick, secure, and/or undetectable communication. If possible, find a way for one of you to piggyback on the other's senses, and look into being able to show each other memories - not a general sharing, just making it possible to intentionally send one through the link.

>>159494

Dahlia is looking for reassurance. Move closer and offer to put your arm around her.

That seems a little, uhm, extreme?

However, the ability to set up some kind of secure 'comm network' in case of threats sounds handy.

Dio will breach the subject at another time. He's not implanting the charm inside him, that's just weird. What if he wants kids, some day?

Jai says, "I remember my first kill."
"Aye, me too. Everyone does, I s'pose," says Pyramus, skipping a stone across the water, bouncing it aloft with Evocation every time it looks about to sink. "Sticks wi' ye."

"It was... let's see. On my Alienation. Bandit. He tried holding me at knifepoint and got all handsy. I didn't mean to. It was just supposed to push him off. I guess it was the stress or something but instead his torso ended up twenty feet away from the rest of him."

"I was guarding a caravan for the Qal," says Pyramus. "Looter. I told him to stop but he didn't. I grabbed him and he panicked, I guess. Pulled a knife and ended up a pile of ash. We all go through it. Ye're lucky ye both can at the same time."

"I just twisted my wrist and his neck opened and it just got everywhere," says Dahlia, suddenly. Dio puts out his hand and she takes it. "I'd practiced the move hundreds of times, on glamors and dummies and in bouts. It was so...easy to kill someone, even a mage. Just...slice, spurt."
"We're battlemages," says Jai. "Soldiers, sort of. It'll always be easy."
"But the first one's the hardest," muses Pyramus, flicking his arm and jumping the rock back into his hand, then throwing it again. "Ye're both growin' up, an' into some of the first promising damn illusionist battlemages we have. This'll pass, mostly."

>>159502
Odd, I suppose entire masses of people can get through their whole lives without killing. But that's because their protection, their killing, falls to us.

>>159502

"Would it have been whole different if we were the attacker? Do those kills count? Being a killer?"

>>159505
That's a terrible thing to say. Don't say that.

Are you really the first promising illusionists? Act surprised at this at first (unless you knew about it beforehand) and then nod about how it's a lot less straightforward, y'know, sneaking up with knives via magic instead of just blasting with raw firepower.

Say that you want to try another magic duel against a standard battlemage soon. I know you just had a traumatic experience, but that's why you need to get back on the horse as soon as possible, before fear and guilt can start getting in the way.

>>159507
agree on all counts. the sooner that horse is going again the better

>>159507
And, the sooner you find out about any potential psychological ramifications that may apply in combat scenarios, the better.

Don't want to find out you hesitate with a knife now when you DON'T have those battlesuits keeping you alive.


Oh, offer to teach Dahlia Entomb if she doesn't know it, and maybe she can teach you blind. I mean, both illusionists, so it should be teachable, and it would be a bonding experience.

Not to mention trying to teach someone else how to do something you know usually ends with you having an even better grasp of how to employ that knowledge yourself.

>>159502
"I think the one thing I'm afraid of the most is that I might have liked it."

>>159507

Sounds like a plan to me.

>>159509
Feel free to describe your kill.
Say you want to practice fighting as a team and fighting outnumbered.
Can you and Dahlia go on alienage together?

Give him more time, jeeze, killing people is bad, don't numb yourself to it.

>>159514
Except Dio DIDN'T like it. He was pretty clear on that.

>>159522
Hell no.

He's going with Jai, if he's going with anyone. Not negotiable.

>>159529
Dahlia might be the jealous type and not be fine with that. So you're going to have to talk about that later. Hell, it'll show you have enough balls and dignity to actually talk to her about stuff which would put you ahead so many boyfriends out there you'd make progress towards a sure-shot for Perfect Boyfriend of the Year.

"Mine was freaking out about his arm," says Dio. "I did something to his head. And I just stabbed and kept stabbing. Huh. He barely noticed. The first stab I wasn't sure if I could do. Then something just, I don't know, snapped. And I thought, what the fuck. And so I kept going, even after I knew he wasn't coming back."
"Sometimes I wonder if that's what happened to me, and I just never stopped keeping going," says Jai. "Because now I know there's no coming back. We do it so other people don't have to, you know? Everyone else would go through what we do if we didn't do it. That's...comforting to know, somehow."
"Anyway, it can be fun," says Pyramus. Everyone looks at him. "What, it can be. Ye can't let it control you, but there's an undeniable thrill, exercising all that power an' potential. Like a loaded crossbow or a wound-up spring. Just...whoosh."
"Whoosh," says Jai.
"Whoosh," mutters Dahlia, scooching closer to Dio.
"We've been through it and we'll keep going through it, lad," says Pyramus.

And then they are alone again.

Hug girl.

Read note Hug her.

*Slow, ambient piano music*

"Dahlia? I think I'd rather not be alone tonight. Would you be ok with holding each other all night? Just holding."

Hug her

Yeah, okay.

"I think we may have something here," says Dahlia. "I mean I've known you for two days, but I feel, like, a connection. If that's the word."
"Something beyond the usual teenage horniness."
"Yeah."
"Me too."
"I don't want to rush this. But um. Be with me tonight? Not like that but just... be there? For company?"

"I got two last time."
"My ass, one of those was me!"
"And one of those was the wall thing I did!"
"Well if we're counting the wall thing, that was a hit, but it seems more like luck to me..."
"Luck was you guessing which clone I was."
"It was the underwear!"
"Well maybe this time I'll go commando."
"Commando? Really?"
"No. Chafing."
"Figures. You get me all excited, and then..."

And they chase each other off, laughing, to their distant, stained, uncertain future.
