Something small approaches Mirage's nose.

Oh boy... Something's up.

Ask it what it wants, see if it can understand you.

>>181689
Say hi!

It has a lion's tail. Is this perhaps Stalks-in-Shadows, or a cub of his? If so, it looks either like it's plating dead, or injured.

Also the seedy bar appears to have turned into a bush.

Put cat on head.

>>181689
I am tempted to sneeze. But that would be silly.

"Sup."

>>181774
Seconded.

Are you sure it isn't called a "snack"?

>>181774
This.

Before Mirage can fully greet the small thing with a short verbal cue, it leaps onto his nose, startling him.

It doesn't hurt at all, of course. His scales are tougher than tiny claws.

wait oh god it's on his nose oh god help

Sneeze it onto the ground.

>>182321
Wow. Whatever this thing is, it's nosy. Maybe you can snort a hello at it or something. This situation stinks.

>>182321
Wow that's the cutest thing ever.

Lick it off.

Duck your head down and forwards, roll it onto the top of your head.

>>182323
THis.

Well... you could always knock it off with your wing or something. Though that's liable to kill it. I'd say put your head back down and let it be, it's not like it could hurt you.

Unless you think it might have poison or something, I guess, but even then it's unlikely to be able to get through your scales.

>>182321
Well, don't kill it. :V

Chill, man, the little critter just wants hugs. We shall name it George, and we shall keep it as a pet.

Also, I don't think this is really the author. My suspicion lies in that the ID is different, and the servants haven't been updated.

Then again, I've been wrong before, although I won't admit it.
You will notice that that last sentence is an awesome paradox.

>>182366
The art style is identical, the ID has been changing the whole time, he started this bit with the same ID as a servant update, and nobody has any reason to try a hijacking.

Pretty sure you're wrong.

>>182369
Yes, but then again, I am paranoid.

I think I know what it is.

ITS A KITTY!

>>182484
thats one big kitty

Run around in circles while panicking.

>>182504
and dig on ground while going for leap in the air. dont do this, you will have to pay for damage done.

simply dunk your nose in a fountain and then sneeze.

Just ignore it. It can't hurt you, and anything you try will probably hurt it.
It will get bored and leave eventually, just wait it out.

>>182506
We're outside the city. Mirage can't fit in it (because he's so fat)

>>182321
TAKE FLIGHT AND GIVE IT THE RIDE OF ITS LIFE

>>182553
YES!

>>182321
Sneeze it up into the air, then realize it can't fly and go catch it. Then, curl up with it.
You're not cuddling it, no. Obviously, you're protecting everyone from this vicious beast. Obviously.

Wait... wait... how big is this thing compared to our underlings? It may not be a threat to us, but it could be deadly to them - it looks about the same size as they are.

Keep an eye out for our followers and make sure this thing never gets near them.

I think they got eaten by the bush that grew from the seedy bar. They really should have though about that when making their bar...

>>182816
But...
I...
It..
You...
Well played.

Mirage tries to get it off of his nose after his small fit, but it seems to drop off of it's own accord. Luckily, his nose was close to the ground.

It certainly SMELLS fuzzy. It looks dizzy, now.

>>183653
Gently tap it with your nose and make a little noise at it, as though you were some kind of enormous cat. :B

>>183659
Yeah that sounds about right.

Mirage nudges the small thing with his nose and attempts to make a cat-like noise. The problem is that his roars are quite distinct - it comes out a little squeakier than he aimed for.

It wiggles and mews back. Well that's better than having it on his nose...

>>183678
lick it

>>183678
Clearly you must attempt to keep it as a pet. Seeing as it is apparently not afraid of you anyway, this shouldn't be too difficult. :V

Right outside of town...It is likely to be someones pet.

Look around to see if anyone is watching.

If not, play with it to pass time.
If there is...Still play with it.

>>183678
Pick it up.

>>183711
Can you pull this off without, y'know, breaking it? :V

>>183693
This

We will keep it as a pet, and name it George or Georgina if it's a boy or a girl, respectively, and it will be our bestest pet ever, and we will cuddle it and love it to pieces.

Only superficially.

We should have it as a pet. Casually offer it your nose again. It's obviously not dangerous.

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND!

The bush that grew from the seedy bar was not in fact a bush, but Stalks-In-Shadows, and this is his kitten!

Better take it back to him, I think it's lost. Or he sent it to go play with Uncle Mirage so he didn't have to deal with it.

Lions have cubs.

Good job samefagging a conversation with yourself in a quest thread that hasn't continued in a month. Seriously, cut it out. Sage because I'm not contributing.

I really wish it WOULD continue. This exchange was disappoint.

Meanwhile...

Though it feels like an eternity, only a few moments have passed since the door was opened to reveal some strange creature hiding in the gloom of the seedy establishment. Baod retrieves a knife out of somewhere, carved from a large Beast fang.

Aeora is obviously surprised, more by the weapon than her predicament. "Where did you get that?"

"Isn't there something more important to be worried about?" Baod faces down...whatever this might be. He can just barely make out the outline of it.

 

>>205555

>>205555
Keep the knife ready and ask the creature who and what it is. Also, it's awesome you started this back up again. I enjoyed the quest and was a bit sad it seemed to be dead.

stay in a defensive stance and ready to slash, demand answers.

>>205555
Try talking to it to start off with.

This is a seedy establishment yes, but its still like, a TAVERN, right? Why would there be a monster lair in a tavern? This is probably a prime moment to make some sort of faux pas. Don't do anything rash.

(also: Yaaaaay!)

(yay!)
(:3 A chip from one of Mirage's teeth?)

"Friend or foe?" Keep defensive stance, demand light source.

From a defensive posture, introduce yourself and ask who this strange creature is. Glance around the room for other creatures or people.

>>205555
I was right - these things are kitties to Mirage, but deadly to the minions.

Use your mind connection to call out to Mirage or something!

Inquire as to its purpose here.
If it attempts to or looks like it is about to attack shout "Look behind you!" then run for Mirage.

>>205677
>>205609

I assumed Mirage is still waiting outside the city with Luxray Kitty.
Which is where the distract the threat and run part comes in.

The creature slowly walks into the dim light. Aeora gasps with recognition. It is a Gyaaru, one of the sacred guardian spirits from her homeland. Any Tumyu child knows that these creatures look after the well-being of the Tumyu and their close relatives, carry messages, and patrol the many lands. Reshishi, of course, do not fall under 'close relative of the Tumyu'.

Baod attempts communication, and is met with a strange response.

"I have a message for you, Lawbreaker." Baod flinches, for reasons unknown. "Do you care to hear it? Or will you slit my throat with that blade of yours? I'm sure you're more than capable, though you have been neglecting your martial skills."

>>206561
Nah I don't think you're going to slit its throat. Content of the message could be quite interesting though.

oh my, maybe later we can see what law baod broke. but for now baod put away that knife, killing messengers is bad form.

>>206561
I wish to hear it.

Don't kill it. See what it has to say.

>>206561
Ask Aeora to step outside while you deal with this. Ask him what the message is.

I agree with basically everything that has been suggested so far.

Avoid unnecessarily getting on people's bad-sides. Try to make peace. Something like.
I was startled, assuming to be attacked. Sorry for any misunderstanding I intend no threat to you. What is the message?

Baod: Put away your knife and receive the message. But warn him against trying any funny business. Send Aeora away.

I'm sure we'll find out Baod's mysterious past later. For now, give it a listen.

"Very well, if you'll hear me out. Don't think we have forgotten your transgressions in the temple that night, Lawbreaker. You may have been young, but it is unforgiveable. You know what you will bring."

"He's very cryptic to you," Aeora speaks up. Baod was unsuccessful in making her leave.

"He's cryptic because he probably doesn't want you to know."

"Oh."

The Gyaaru turns to leave.

"Your ignorant days in this dismal land will not protect you." The Gyaaru walks out, dignified. It gives a simple nod to Aeora, who excitedly waves back.

"Good day, Princess Aeo."

Aeora ceases waving.

Well, quite the servants Mirage has. A Beastspeaker who broke some sort of sacred law, and a princess working as a head maid.

So... shall we do what we came here to do and not continue to talk about princesses and lawbreakers and dragons whom they serve in a bar full of gossips, drunks, and criminals?

Because we really don't need Hunters on our backs this early.

Baod chuckles. "Will do, princess."

"UGH!" Aeora throws her arms in the air and storms off, Baod following. "I just hope Mirage is fine after all this, you have alot to answer for!"

"I'm sure he's fine."

Not head maid, chamberlain. Remember?

>>208681
Well, that looks less than excellent. Surely I'm seeing it wrong, and Mirage is in fact quite fine.

Maybe Mirage is sleeping. That is dream lady in the swish thingy, I think...

...that's how he normally looks. VIEW THE FIRST IMAGE.

>>208693
Way I see it, Mneme was poking fun at the art style, I was playing along because I felt like it, and f0641c read it however they read it.

Now as I see it, Mirage and Luxray Kitty are taking a nap.

>>208695
I was also playing along because I felt like it. Mirage has always looked pretty much like a crazy bone dragon. The shift between the detailed humanoid zoom level and the more abstract large-scale art was somewhat jarring, making it seem an appropriate moment for humor once the concept was begun.

Wait, weren't we suppose to be finding out what the people thought of Mirage or something? Can't we still do that?
