RUN FOR IT

Make a dramatic entrance.

>>246507
Too risky. Get closer to the ground and survey the area first.

Locate a cardboard box.

>>246507
Might be a trap. Sneak up there instead.

>>246507
You could MIND PIERCE him anyway. He seems to be thinking about SOMETHING. Let's find out what.

Maria has infiltrated the city!

So I'm looking for a man with a scar down his chin.

...This looks no less like a castle on the inside than it does on the outside.

>>251354

There doesn't seem to be anyone in this area either. The garden seems to be an easy entry point. I'm a bit uncomfortable with this.

>>252807
Explore with caution. I am expecting an ambush.

>>252807
Put your ear to a wall and maybe you can hear something.

It's occurred to me that we're supposed to tell Scar that we know Tom.

...but "Tom" is not Tom's real name!

I'm starting to agree with Hadrian that Tom's plan does not seem very well thought out. I hope we're just a distraction for him or something.

Since we're already in, Maria, all we can do is keep moving and try to complete our objective. Stay alert!

Okay now run around as fast as you can looking for whatever you are looking for. There are no guards around here and if they are, you can begin a fun chase sequence. Trust me, this will totally save you time.

>>252995

Make sure Yakkety Sax plays in the background whilst doing so.

Panic, then Run Away.

get a look of his face, if it's the guy we are looking for then YAY, if not then make bright flash (princess beam) to blind him then ether knock him out or flee.

The man stares blankly at Maria.

Maria is panicking too much to release Princess Flash!

say "i saw a broken tree in the courtyard"

>>253699
"Hablibabaleeblablugubloo."

Panic so hard you come back out the other side into calm.

>>253699
Running just makes you look more suspicious.
Say you're looking for a guy with a scar and it's very important.

"Hablibabaleeblablugubloo," Maria blurts, in an attempt to say many things at once.

The man lifts Maria.

"Wah!"
"It's dangerous right now. You have to stay out of the city."
>>253797
"Ssscar--"
"No going past here. Demons are dangerous."

Try not to become ticklish.

>>260590
Kick him. "My best friend is a demon!"

>>260667
Or "Some of my best friends are demons" you know two right? And there is no need to get specific.

>>260590
Scream "Bad TOUCH" repeatedly

Maria engages in a more polite variation of these suggestions.

???

Do you? I assume from your personality and previous reactions to suggestions that you would take this path. I wjust say it.

????????

"S...Some of the best men I know happen to be demons. Following that, some of the most ruthless men are human."
"What boss says, goes," He mumbles, seemingly uninterested in Maria's rebuttal.
"Your boss seems to have an unfair bias against demons."
"...If you're for the demons, then it's best if I bring you to the boss."

Is that good?

No idea.
It isn't, at all.

Well, we might as well go see what the boss has to say.

Follow him for a bit, look for a chance to get away before you get there.

>>261518
Ask who the boss is. He might be able to help us find that Scarfaced man who knows Tom.

>>261518
...wtf, Mr. Narrator.

Maybe the boss is the man we're supposed to find. ONWARD.

"And who might this...boss...be?"
"Not a clue. We just follow him around and listen to what he says."
"That's a little...Is that really such a good idea?"
"We're like lost dogs. We don't really care about the morals of anyone we're following. We just like to follow."
"And if he leaves you?"
"Then we get someone else to follow."

The hall contains nothing but the occasional instance of a door. No chance to escape.

The man stops at a larger door.

A man comes out of a door to the left.
"You caught one?"
"A human sympathiser."
"I'm not defending all demons," Maria snaps. "I just meant that some are good people."
"I see why you took her in. We'll get the boss to judge her."
I'm beginning to get a good idea of what happened.
"Where are the Forest People?"
"Huh...? Oh, they evacuated once we got past the first layer of defenses. None of us are interested in manslaughter, so it's as good as a conquest."

>>263566
Point at him and shout "SCAR!" really loudly and embarrassingly.

Doesn't that make these peolple the invaders?

This guy has an eye scar... Unless he's got another scar on the other side of his face, ask if the boss has a scar.

"Scars seem to be a theme with you," Maria says clearly. "Inside or out."
"And have you ever watched a loved one being torn apart before your eyes?"
"Yes.""And by what?"
"The Raven. He was playing music by a tower, threatened us, and then flew away with most of my cousin and our horses."
"And he didn't touch you?"
"I would assume he thought it was funny."

I would be monumentally shocked if he did it for any other reason, if I had to be perfectly honest.

"It's rare to see a survivor of The Raven still siding with demons."
A boy not much older than Maria herself exits the door the red-haired man was standing by.
"Boss..."
"Arms off your side, you're not trying to impress anyone. So what is a young boy like you doing here all alone?"
"I could ask the same," Maria says bitterly. "I came for medicine and the library."
He looks unimpressed.
"Do you have a mother?"
"Yes."
"I don't. All I have left of her is a cheap necklace she was going to sell."
"I'm sorry to hear about your loss."
"If you're not lying, you've experienced the feeling too. Shall I tell you of my goals?"

This is pretty stupid altogether, but why not.
