>living eye armor
...That is downright terrifying.

...Maybe later.

>>25676

Maybe you can use it to be intimidating.

>>25668
So how about a weapon with an eye? The eye could be in her empty eyesocket and be connected by ... something to the actual weapon? If you catch my drift?

>>25676
Holy shit, girl! You can become Alex Mercer! :D

>>25679
It can grow more.

>Ask about getting food
Right, right. Same as last time.

"Guardbot, may we pick up some food along the way? I'm a bit hungry."
"PROCESSING. PROCE- NEGATORY. MASTER. VRESCH. WILL. PROVIDE. SUSTENANCE."

...darn.

>>25682
Well yeah, but having the eye ON the weapon would be a bit ... impractical, wouldn't it?

>>25684

That means you've probably gotta eat with him. Oh well, can't be helped I guess.

>>25684
Well, like you said before, Versch would have already killed you if he wanted to. You're only alive through his allowing it, girl.

Now, allow yourself to be transported to him.

>>25684

Why darn? We were going to see him anyway, and canned food prob won't be as good as what he has to offer.

Well your poor grumbling stomach will have to wait a bit longer.

Ask how long the journey will take. Or just provide us with the information should you know already.

>>25684
Also stop being so negative about him, at least show up looking a little pleased. Its not like HE destroyed the world. And btw I don't blame you, in fact, I blame the government more then anything, preemptive strikes always seem to cause this sort of thing.

>>25694

Well, he didn't DESTROY the world but he certainly ended a number of the population's lives with giant robots. He's a damn demon, after all. Fuck him.

What does he need human slaves for anyway?

>>25699

Actually the world leaders did that.

>>25699
Not according to what I've heard. Vresch wanted to rule the people, not kill them. And all Coralina has said is that he used giant robots, not that they wiped out any body. He may be a demon, but its not like he's chaotic evil kill kill smash smash, In fact if it weren't for the rule the world part I wouldn't even consider him lawful evil.

>>25472
maybe i wasn't clear. you lose the use of an eye when you conjure something, so having only one eye remaining is a problem that you should find some way to solve. if you could find a book on summoning angels, you could get one to heal your eye. if you can't, then you need to find a way to get more eyes, such as making a change with something you conjure that would result in you having more eyes afterwards. if you've seen TMNT, mutagen fuses two things together in way that benefits the more intelligent of things being fused; you could fuse yourself with a potato, which has many eyes. if you can't find one, a spider also works; it's got about eight (so seven more than you)

I suppose so, but I am not looking forward to this.

...Thanks. At least someone doesn't blame me. That... helps. To hear.

I'll try and cheer up a bit before we get there.

I'm glad I picked warm clothes. Its chilly way up here.

>What does he need human slaves for anyway?
I have no idea, really. I think he has them run his city or something? I should ask. All I know is that he takes people and brings them to Neotis.

>As far as I can tell he didn't kill anyone.
He killed plenty of people. Anyone who opposed his rule died. There are still occasional rebellions, hence the guardbots wandering about everywhere.

>Fusing with a potato
...Potatoes... potatoes are vegetables. They don't have any eyes.

>>25706
Robots isss people? Anyway I rather like what you did with the place Coralina, Itsss a wonderful change of pace.

>>Fusing with a potato
>...Potatoes... potatoes are vegetables. They don't have any eyes.
Actually, legumes, but what the hell, why are we even talking about this.

>>25706
Okay guys two hours....
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you take one down pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall...

>>25711
the spider alternative is still there.

>...Potatoes... potatoes are vegetables. They don't have any eyes.
Yes they do. They use them to make new potato plants. Sort of like how you use your eyes to make new critters and stuff.

>>25711
>Actually, legumes,
Actually, no. Legumes are, by definition, from the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae). They're beans and peas. Potatoes are from the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). They're tubers.

I wonder if this conversation will last for two hours...

Now we're passing Vresch's windtrap arrays. Giant pillars with small slits everywhere, designed to funnel the wind into a turbine. He has enough power to fuel the world five times over, according to his radio broadcasts. Its ridiculous, just how much ground they are spread over.

>Actually, legumes, but what the hell, why are we even talking about this.
I have no idea.

>the spider alternative is still there.
I suppose, but there's still the matter of finding either a spider or some of that mutagen, and I do not feel safe summoning up random mutagens.

>99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you take one down pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall...
98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall. 97 bottles of beer on the wall...

>>25728
Radio broadcasts? For whom to hear? Humans? But ...

97 bottles of beer on the wall, 97 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 96 bottles of beer on the wall. 96 bottles of beer on the wall...

>>25728
safety is not something you should be worried about, given you're trying to oppose a demon that smashed the entire world.

Keep an eye on the lay of the land. We may need you to map this out later.

>>25730
96 bottles of beer on the wall, 96 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 95 bottles of beer on the wall. 96 bottles of beer on the wall...

>>25728
He distributes free power? Well, that's not so evil, really. He's just giving the world something it lacked. Order.

>>25734

>>25728
Wind energy?
So he must have watched that powerpoint we made with Algore. *snicker* remember when we convinced him he invented the internet.

>>25735

Yeah too bad most of the world's enslaved and can't benefit.

hey, we should know more aout those directives, y´know. Talk to the guardbot. How many and which are his directives? How many are shared with other bots?

We did got into this for not knowing that.

>Radio broadcasts? For whom to hear? Humans? But...
He's pretty much succeeded at that global domination thing, and Vresch's station is the only radio station on the air. Its mostly propaganda and techno music.

And yes, for humans to hear. He didn't kill everybody.

>Keep an eye on the lay of the land. We may need you to map this out later.
Sure.

>He distributes free power? Well, that's not so evil, really. He's just giving the world something it lacked. Order.
S-stop trying to legitimize him. Vresch did some terrible things on his rise to power, really.

>Yeah too bad most of the world's enslaved and can't benefit.
E-exactly!

>>25735
> He distributes free power? Well, that's not so evil, really. He's just giving the world something it lacked. Order.

At what cost man... at what cost... D:

You don't know if everyone's a 'slave'.

It could be anything from oppressive authotarianism to a technological utopia to something straight out of 'Brave New World'.

>>25777
>S-stop trying to legitimize him. Vresch did some terrible things on his rise to power, really.
Like detonate nuclear weapons in major population centers? Oh wait.

Sounds like the governments that were around at the time weren't exactly the nicest guys either. And for all you know, all the humans he's dragging back to Neotis are living in the lap of luxury served by machines.

Obviously, you have lived through some terrible shit, but it's best that we approach this meeting with as few preconceptions as possible.

>>25777
>Vresch did some terrible things on his rise to power, really.
Like what?

>>25777
Techno music....
wait is it good stuff like infected mushroom...

>>25777
>And yes, for humans to hear. He didn't kill everybody.

But why even bother? He really doesn't seem to need their approval and his guardbots seem to be able to keep them in line.

We should really gather more information about the role of humans under his rule.

>>25777
Well then we'll talk to him about it. He will probably listen, and even if he doesn't, we'll make him listen.

We aren'T really in any position to judge anyone. What do we know? We're just a little magic ball of... something.

However, I can't deny that his technological prowess does inspire a kind of respect.It is essential that humanity trie to understand his machinery after he's gone.

Sit out the ride.

>>25777
"When the robots win we'll have to listen to techno. Heck no I'll never listen to techno!"

Why's everyone so accepting of the demon overlord? Yes, while the humans did something dumb and blew up cities they only did it to try and STOP this guy. They must have had a reason. I can't believe that they were like "this guy's been using the giant robots to initiate peace agreements, WE MUST BOMB HIM."

Once again, I must point out he is a demon that appears to have taken control of the world. It looks like the human race isn't exactly prospering anymore.

>>25794
I'm pretty sure that the world leaders had a bit of a vested interest in this guy not ushering in a new age of prosperity. But if we can list his less desirable qualities as we currently know them:

1. broadcasting only techno
2. he sounds kind of like a communist

>>25794
Well yeah, but that already happened. The world is already a bomb-gutted piece of crap. And he appears to be the one most capable of building something new. Now we have to figure out what's his deal with the humies.

>>25794
Why? Because Vresch is one of the only people left with the power to fix everything. He may be a bastard demon from who knows where, but he has the power to make everything better then the way it was. And the fact that he may have feelings for Coralina will probably help us with this endeavor. So like it or not, our best option right now is to form some sort of alliance with him. And even if we can't then we can always resort to plan B.

>>25794
Well he is a gentleman, and it have been proven we love suave motherfuckers. And he seems pretty mild for a demon, most would have more of a kill everything/rape/whatever. We're cool with him.

>>25798
>>25799

3. Enslaving tons of humans.
4. I assure you he doesn't just use those giant robots for carrying people around.
5. He's a bit of an eye gouger

And he's the only one building anything because he has ALL OF THE POWER. What, are humans gonna try building a society, only to have the giant robots crash it and kidnap anyone? Humans have NO CHOICE but to submit.

>>25802

Hey man REAL demons don't just talk about rape and murder. REAL demons smile as they stab you in the gut. This bastard is grinning and twisting the knife into the guts of the human race.

Well, if he wants more power, helping humanity progress and spread technology through the universe would be a good plan. If we can make him a nice overlord instead of an asshole overlord we might end up with a better world than we had before.

>>25803
Well, judging from the little knowledge we currently have, I'd say without him this world would be MAD MAX all over again. We have to figure out what he does with all the humans he brings to the city, before we can decide on a long-term course of action.

>>25777
What things? You have to understand, we know ONLY what you tell us, and thus far you've said only that he's "nice, for a demon", polite, and only interested in ruling the world. Oh, and he killed that pussy Jake (how'd that happen, btw?). While bad, it doesn't sound like he was anything near as big an asshat as the guys who, say, nuked everything.

So did you leave something out of the description here? Lay out his atrocities for us to judge.

>>25805
Of course they don't just talk, they do it laughing the whole time.>>25803
And they have no choice but to submit? AT LEAST THEY HAVE ARMS AND LEGS! Sheesh, we have no choice but to submit. They can row row fight the powah! To their death if they wanted.

>>25807

Make him a nice overlord? He's a demon! Even if he promises to do it, hello, he can LIE!

Most of the suggestions here assume we're dealing with a powerful human. We're not. It's a demon. Furthermore a demon who's been given dominion over the earth. I wouldn't trust any agreement we make with him at all. WHY would he even consider making the world easier for humans if he doesn't have to?

>>25809
I'm rather curious what his purpose is in gathering survivors, as well. I suppose we'll find out soon.

I do not like this thought.

>>25819
Deal with it.

>>25819
We'll just have to wait until we find out that soylent wind power is made of people.
Still, he'll probably be polite...
Wait, shit.
Hide that book somewhere before you come to him.
He might just be after that.
Once he gets rid of the book and you, no one could banish him without finding another, and I assume those are quite rare.

>>25819
>I do not like this thought.
Even if it means that you could use his liking for you? Use it not to undo the damage, that can't be done, but to at least start to rebuild? Every man listens to his woman, even demons. You could slowly change his policies. You could slowly free the slaves, or at least make their lot in life a bit better. Everyone would hate you for being his, at first, but things would change when they saw what you were doing for him.

Is your dignity, your happiness, or your life too much to give for so many other people?

>>25819
Why do you think one of the robots derectives was to get you clothing...he clearly wants you to look nice.

>>25825
Didn't she say she committed all the important bits to memory?

>>25819

I'm always gonna be against trusting this guy or making any sort of a deal with him. Isn't a deal with a demon how 9/10 bad ending start?

The ends never justify the means. If he's made world order out of enslaving the entirety of the human race, how can that ever be something we accept? Tyranny in a sparkling white dome is still tyranny.

>>25829
Jesus christ, we don't know shit yet!

>>25819
>I do not like this thought.
You aren't the only one.

I think we should shut up on the subject till we hear it from the man himself. As the old saying goes, "to assume is to make an ass out of you and me". Plus, we gotta practice our singing. 80 years and we're still off.

>>25826

This is assuming he can or even is ABLE to be changed. Why would he have cause to listen? He's got dominion over the world. I don't think demons are moved by tears and a heartfelt request to "let my people go"

>>25833

We know he's enslaving the human race! She said so!

>>25828
And?
If no one else knows it, then it doesn't matter.

I'm not saying you have to jump right into his arms, girl. In fact, that's probably the worst thing you can do. Just test the waters. See if he thinks that way. If he does... you have another bargaining chip, and God knows you need as much on your side of the table as you can get.

>>25803
3. Perhaps, but who's to say that the rest of us wouldn't, given the opportunity. And even so, we don't actually know if the people are truly enslaved.
4. Yes, he also used it to crush a regime which attacked him and killed millions of its own people.
5. That's a bit of a low blow, but I'll concede the point.

>>25829
>Tyranny in a sparkling white dome is still tyranny.
Perhaps, but who is to say that the tyranny of humans is better? I can tell you there was not a whole lot of freedom before he came either.

>Perhaps, but who is to say that the tyranny of humans is better? I can tell you there was not a whole lot of freedom before he came either.

We don't know that at all. Regardless of humans would do a better job, there's still the fact that he's enslaving the world. You can't just say "It's ok because some humans would have done it too." Humans don't have supernatural control over all electronics to aid their conquest.

>>25872
but by then he doesn't afraid of anything so stabbing him in the back is useless.

WE DON'T KNOW SHIT, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

>>25874
But if hes a cool guy we won't have to stab him in the back. Cus hes a cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.

>>25875

Well we wouldn't be much of a talking orb if we did THAT now would we?

>>25878
We could be a singing orb.

>>25873
No, they just have natural control over it. And I didn't say it was good, but why try to change to a situation which is not necessarily better? If we're going to change anything, we need to be sure before-hand that it won't just fuck up the world even worse.

The situation here is clearly asymmetrical. If we gave you advice that would lead to a direct confrontation with Vresch, you'd get killed. Simple as that. So we're going to do a little information gathering first, find out if we can do something underhanded instead.

Zzzzz.

Here's some food for though.

Going by that guard's directives, you are authorized to order a guard to fire upon another guard, who will in-turn have to fire back as per Directive 004. Going by this theory, you can command ever guardbot to kill other guardbots or even themselves as per Directive 005.

If this is not true and there are other directives preventing this, then this particular guardbot has disobeyed Directive 005. That would mean that these guardbots are capable of acting outside their programming, and could be swayed to serve you instead.

>>25898
I think if we did that, a directive to not fire upon each other would quickly be added.

>>25898
Unless those directives are fake and they're programmed to say them to confuse her.

Best keep that plan in reserve... for now...

>>25898
It doesn't matter. Vresch just made these robots, out of his otherworldly powers and whatever was lying around. What difference do loopholes make when the reason there's no DIRECTIVE 000: OBEY. VRESCH. is that he doesn't need one to control them?
If he ever sees you as a serious threat, he'll make some that don't have those nice directives and send them after you.
That said, go ahead and mindfuck this guardbot however you can. You're stuck playing Vresch's game, you may as well impress him at it.
