>It was summer... I rushed down hill as fast I could and paused right at the border. The grass was lush and green. As I stepped into the zone a wave of hot air hit me head on, like walking into a soft water fall of warm water after a cold rain.

Blake: How is this possible?

Rover: Its all thanks to your humble sacrifice.

Blake: My what?

Rover: When you left, you left a part of you, you left your Gf here. At first it just made every one happy and reminded us of you... but then this happened... We think it might be a celestial beast... I... I've been taking good care of her in your absence, just like you asked.

Blake: ... Thank you Rover.

So... Since it was your GF to start with, does that mean the contrast in temperatures here was/is costing you a bunch of your life force? Or, since Rover's been taking care of her in your stead, was/is it coming from his, instead?

Hopefully it's the later. Such a creepy weirdo.

Also, what sort of stake does a celestial beast have in the land here to try and drive people away with never-ending winter?

>>264703
Hmm, should probably go see her.

How odd. If they have a cost as they are used, and this one seems to be in constant use... who or what is paying the cost?

>>264741
agreed
>>264745

but first rush in and out of winter and summer to get a head rush off of thermal shock.

Blake: Hey rover. Don't Gfs cost life force? how come this one's here all the time?

Rover: Simple. it's not summoned. We got it to come over to our village and live here with us.

Blake: Than why is it messing up the seasons?

Rover: We feed her, care for her and shelter her. In exchange she gives us eternal summer. The crops grow year round, no one worries about freezing and tourists come by in the winter. She really is a blessing, I think the village elders would forgive you since life's so much easier now that you left us Sulfur.

>I'm starting to feel really light headed now...

>>264741

Blake: Let's go.

I somehow doubt that they will, even WITH the GF thing considered, seeing as how you're the "man who sold the world to flames" or whatever. Probably end up sending you on some inane quest to PROVE YOURSELF. Like take out or at least scare off that celestial beast or acquire some MacGuffin from its lair or somesuch.

Well, whatever. As they say on online team-/squad-based games: gogogogogogogogogogo.

If the people in charge give you shit about being here then tell them you'll just pick-up Sulpher and be on your way. Then walk off and go about your business while they try to figure out a response.

>Rover puts down his things and take's a great big breath of fresh air

Rover: Not used to small towns? The peoples here have no reason to be unhappy, weathers great, hardly any pollution and any invaders get shooed off by the guardians. Plus everyone's always happy to see me after my trips, because I bring back so many souvenirs and stories.

>So that's what's in his sac.

Rover: Well let me show you around town. this is central square, not much here... There's NooksCrany, you work thee tomorrow. Over here we have ginger and pickles, they sell food and food accessories. We have the Carpenters shop right over there, that's were I work. And here we have the Able sisters. I need to stop at just about every one of these places before the end of the day so... Were do you wanna go first? Or I could show you to your house? Or more of the town if you want?

>Well it doesn't matter all that much... I'm gonna see the town one way or another. You pick.

Lets go check out the cool dude in the stocks.
These MUST be great people! They're using punishments that have been considered inhumane for at least 100 years!

Are you alright, sir? You look a bit wild-and-crazy-eyed. Anyway, our first priority should be to get you some clothes of your own, not solely so Rover can redress himself in something more appropriate.

agreed, start with the new clothes

Look for some clothes first.

>>264885

if you do you'll find many more opportunities to draw power from invaders and it would make the plot advance for sure.

Some of us lack artistic talent. But it should probably be one fancy suit and one that's not incredibly fancy. Both should of course look good, less fancy one should probably be a bit more durable. Never know what might happen.

The wonderful thing about rhetorical questions is that you don't have to answer them. Just laugh, rub the back of your head, and vaguely mention that the world is a dangerous place. Leaves much to the imagination, improves your local mystique, and offers no hint towards anything untoward.

Why don't you see if there's a central town square or something where they might have a town map? Preferably in a grid format.

Be honest. Shrug and say that your amnesia was complete, so far all intents and purposes you're single. Single and looking(?). But then let's not be too flirtatious, as we don't know anything about this gal other than the fact that her assets are enormous. And that, I suppose, is by virtue of her being a Nook. I can't wait to meet the others of the family.

A heavily-accented Chinese Panda. That's marvelous. I love it. Anyway, nice to see his place of work, and aside from the initial hilarity of the order for Rover to attack his morning wood (which Rover might oblige), the most interesting comment is this idea of a party tomorrow. And, of course, Rover wearing a dress for it. Ask about that. The party, I mean. Well, about the dress as well.

Rover: Oh yah. There's a ball at town square tomorrow, to see off the tourists since winters coming to end.

Blake: Cool. Should I wear anything special?

Rover: Nope. Just be your self.

>easier said than done... asking me that is like telling me to be some one else... Can't wait to know who I am.

Blake: Hey about you in a dress?

Rover: heehee... Gen was raised by orcs, and in there society they emphasize males. It's known that a man that looks like a woman is more beautiful than a woman of equal beauty. so when ever he gets the chance he gowns me up in orcish silks... It's embarrassing...

...And yet he doesn't seem too terribly displeased at the prospect. For shame, Rover, for shame. He doesn't even look like a woman, at least not yet. He looks like a cat.

Anyway, in regards to yourself, you need to stop thinking of who you are at the moment as somehow less than or even different from "the real Blake Steelheart." Your past memories may be coming back to you, bit by bit, but they aren't resonating with you as your own or being internalized, but rather are being viewed at a distance. What you discover about your past self might as well be facts you discover about a perfect stranger, because who you are and who you become aren't dependent on anyone else but YOU. Just like anyone else, you'll use the information you uncover about the world to further mature and develop yourself, but ultimately you ARE the real Blake Steelheart, and you're the one in charge of your own destiny, and whatever you become.

Also, ball. Cool. Wear something special, insofar as not jacket-and-jeans combo. But something appropriate that nonetheless appeals to you.

>>268101
That's a nice little tidbit there. So, Rover's going dressed up as a woman, hm? Might wanna try to avoid him at the ball, then. If he looks presentable enough as a woman, you might start to get the hots for him again. And we can't have that happening.

...So, he mentioned something about a fridge earlier. And about it being kinda bare or something. And I dunno how much of a hurry you are to get over to your new house and meet your roommate/his brother. So, you could probably tag along to Ginger and Pickles. Which I am assuming is the name of the food place and possibly the names of the two proprietors as well.

Try browsing. You might remember what you like to eat. Sometimes taste can trigger memories as well. Hopefully you won't accidentally remember something you're embarrassingly allergic to, without recalling you're allergic to it.

is the dog Pickles? and is he not wearing pants? I dont think he is... Did anyone notice that Gen isn't. and is pickles a brother or cousin of tadakichi? I mean look at his face! This quest arrises manny questions.

Ferthermore. You may want to buy some booze. Who knows if Rovers brother has any and you may need it to drown away all the fuck thats been happening these days.

You really need to know if you've got a fridge and/or other storage space before you buy things for your house. So that should definitely be the place we go to check out asap.

>>268803
That's a good point. We won't want to buy a lot of perishable goods if we don't have a refrigerator.

Just see what kind of things they've got in stock, maybe get a few things like breakfast cereal. Once we get home, we can plan our next shopping trip.

Let's just buy some of the shitty beer for now and get a move on. If there's no other points of interest in town, guess it's time to go see what your new house is like. And hopefully Rover's brother (whatever his name is. Bob maybe?) isn't a huge creepy motherfucker like him.

Also Rover said he'd tell us about Peanut's public humiliation thing "later." So, is now a suitable period of "later?"

Eh pass on the crappy alcohol. If you're gonna get something, make it count, and you don't exactly have extra cash lying around. So get some essentials, like cereal, oatmeal, some fruits and vegetables, maybe some simple complete oven/microwave meals.

And tell us what you know about Terrakin, full-blooded or otherwise. I mean, when it comes to being roughly humanoid, is that Terrakin with any amount of human (I'm assuming human) blood? So I guess that means the different races can interbreed viably? Are there any exceptions to that?

>oh well that's very simple. you see way back when, terrakin where nothing more than talking animals. But With time humans and terrakin had little ones, and with that came the half blood terrakin. Now one thing to know, pureblood terrakins don't have all the wrights that we do, in fact they hardly have anymore wrights than a house pet. Still there sentient beings so its custom to treat them with a minimum of respect. So yes we terrakin do have human ancestors and we can have human children, but our genes are a bit strong and we tend to just have terrakin offspring. It's even been seen that a human child in a terrakin/human couple could eventually grow up to have a terrakin child with another human due to his terrakinian heritage. There also exists what is known as half beasts. Rarely humans and terrakin will give birth to half human half animal hybrids. But this is rare.

>amazing how I can remember all that but not what I ate three days ago. ether way I'll go check what's in stock. and I'll ask rover about peanut later on the way to my place.

Amnesia is kinda like that, sometimes. You can't recall select pieces of memory that are associated with SELF, but you don't need to re-learn things like reading, writing, and history. Anyway, that whole breeding thing sounds crazy. So it's not like a Terrakin + Human relationship would produce offspring that would display characteristics due to percentage combination of their bloodlines? Like, the first mix of Pure Terrakin and Pure Human would leave something like you, and maybe if you went with a Human the offspring would be 75% Human so might only have minor animal characteristics, basically being human-looking with fur, maybe ears and a tail, and a further human relationship with another human, leaving one with only 12.5% Terrakin blood might just end with a bunnygirl? Rather, what you're saying is that it's more like blue eyes and brown eyes, that there's some chromosome that's either active or not, leaving one "terrakin" or "human," but with one side being recessive, then hypothetically a pair of dominant-showing chromosomes might have a recessive-showing offspring?

Also, get a monocle and tophat.

so the first settlers had sex with wild animals? geeze and I thought Ophelia was odd. Honestly its like if there were sex scenes in "all dogs go to heaven".

That aside I'm against going to live with a ninja. Seriously! they are not fun to be around. Plus he's with the Enclaive, By the way where do we stand with them?

That being said I sugest that you live with Rover. He's reliable dependable and always there for you. Plus he's kinda cute (well not always but thats just because flynn sometimes gets lazy and draws him quickly) besides satying with a loved one would most definitly jog your memories. Well the ones that matter at least.

And on a final note. we should stick with Rover anyways, since when Scarce pops up to rape him you might want to be there to defend him. (plus it would advance the plot line) and you could find more magic to power up your stats.

I'm not sure what I want anymore... Why is this so difficult?! It's just food! what do you think Eden?

I think that, by your nature, you're mostly herbivorous. Or maybe not. Ultimately, unless you're in some kind of society that frowns upon the consumption of certain foods, you should buy and eat that which you enjoy and can afford. So for this shopping expedition, but a LITTLE of EVERYTHING (assuming you can afford and store it). That way, throughout the week (or however long til you next go shopping), you can nibble on this and that and determine where your tastes lay. Personally, I advise getting some salt. Salt makes everything better.

buy both, it will make an healthier meal then just eating meat or just eating vegy

both oubviously, your partially human therefore need meat too.....probably

I advise you to take the veggies. not only because your a rabbit and you need your greens, but because your looking for your memories,(that is why where here right?) I think that indisision would give you nothing. Plus the urge for meat seems a lot more aggresive.

Okay, sure, it never happened, whatever. At least not to you. Who you are and who you were are different people, we've established that, and whether you're in confused denial or simply cannot conceptually segregate your present self from your past self, it hardly matters. This is just information, and information is power. For instance, you do apparently like steak and greens. How enlightening. Also, I can't remember, did you ever tell us what year it was? I remember you were born in 1763 if I recall correctly...

I'm not sure anymore, my feeling are completely split...Do I love him? Do I hate him? AAHHH!!! I don't know!.. Why is this so hard?

>The year is 1782.

First tip: when trying to deny your feelings for another male, do not look down and say 'why is this so hard?'

Secondly, you feel however you feel about him. The other person, your past life, is not you, as you've no real connection to who that person is. It's rather tragic, really, because Rover might think you're the man he fell in love with but essentially you're the man who took his place. He's been remarkably classy considering the circumstances, most people would have a difficult time letting go and/or believing the whole amnesia bit. He seems to be a great guy and you have to sort out your own feelings about him, but make sure to stay classy about it, regardless. He's done a lot for you already, and at the moment is your only friend in the world.

>>271403
My vote would totally go for hating him. ...But, grudgingly, I do have to admit he's done quite a lot for you over the past few days. Got you a place to live, a job to support your future lifestyle choices, some starting money (that was won from a stupid bet), and some new clothes. Not to mention being your first stepping stone to reintegrating yourself into the general populace after being gone for six years.

So, the least you can do for now is TRY to like his company. When he's not being a creepy sicko and jacking it while sniffing your underwear. Might wanna see about keeping a tight grip on your personal belongings from now on.

...And when are you gonna arrive at his residence already?

>>271403
Why would you feel hatred for him? It's understandable to feel uncomfortable about him in your situation, but I don't recall any reason for a personal grudge between you two. Maybe something else happened that you forgot.

As for your emotional conflict, since your sexual orientation is apparently a result of your upbringing rather than your biology, it should be possible to change how you feel about it in time. I might be able to help you with that, but only if you really want to.

>>271358

If you draw from them, they're probably affiliated with that which you draw, so... these spiders probably have venom that put you to sleep and that new water magic won't work very well on them. Fire, on the other hand... Anyway, see if you can dodge while you yell at Rover to throw you a weapon. Maybe that spear, since it allows you to keep greater distance.

Rover: I will not run away! Not this time! Eden, how well can you handle a spear or sword?

Well, how well CAN you handle a spear or a sword? All other things equal, a spear is better for handling beasts from a distance. However, why do you suddenly have yellow eyes...? Could it be, perhaps, a subtle indication of a form of corporeal possession? You did, after all, repeat the words of a voice of Eden word-for-word. Curious. However, swinging weapons at large spiders isn't my style, so you're on your own for this, unless anyone else wants to step in. Rover seems to have his head in the game, so you can probably drop the fire shield and get ready for some back-to-back combat with him.

heh, I fenced for a while

But I think a spear would be better for this...

It'd give you/us some room to swing at the spiders without dying

>>272658
We can handle a sword a bit better; it has less range, but it also doesn't require as much finesse and can't really be caught by an opponent. It's also much more suited to nimble actions, such as rapidly switching between opponents.
Start off by feinting with a crude direct attack and observing their response. How they react tells you how well they understand this sort of combat.
If they stand there like idiots, then follow through with the feint.
If they dodge, then carry the feint's momentum to strike their new position.
If they counter, then turn the feint into a parry.
If they do anything else, then back off and defend.

>>272707
You dont swing a spear, its a stabbity stab weapon.

Sword - Close range slice/stab/slap weapon

Spear - Mid range stab/bonk weapon

Conditional to the situation, I would suggest the spear to stay away from fangs and tentacles. If there were any options for defense other than range, I would go for the sword.

Aim for wherever their vital organs would seem like they are supposed to be.

>>273201
I know a bit more (though I don't have any formal training). I'm going to assume this is a fairly light spear.

Hold with one hand, two if it's too heavy. Hand(s) should be at or just to the rear of the center of mass. Spear goes UNDER the arm unless you're throwing it.

Keep stance low for maximum accuracy.

When thrusting: Pull back as far as possible, keeping it pointed forward. Step forward, use whole upper body to thrust. Stick it as far in as you can reach.

High ground can make it hard to ht short opponents, watch out.

If opponents rush past, apply boot directly to face.

I'd still rather have a sword, though.

Lurker has been struck down

>Turning around to face the last one I notice its already dead. A large iron ring lodged firmly in its body, it would seem Rover managed to take it out.

Apply usual post-battle procedures. Make sure they're all dead, make sure all wounds are addressed, retrieve and clean weapons, loot corpses. Then wonder why large spider-like creatures that are clearly hostile were lurking (oh look, a pun) around so close to a town.

>This thing is definitely dead. And Rover doesn't seem to have any wounds. The sword was hard to unlodge from the lurkers skull.

Rover: You were so awesome when you kill that lurker! Look how deep it went!

Blake: That's great Rover... Just what are these?

Rover: Oh. They're lurkers. Aquatic insects that prey on land animals, by paralyzing them with they're stingers and dragging them to they're watery doom... They don't usually come out this season? We didn't put up the walls yet... Odd...

Blake: Hhmmm... Where were the guardians!?

Rover: Heh... Maybe they heard me scream and assumed I was getting busy... hehe... sorry.

Blake: *sigh* Let's just go home... Your home! then I'll go to mine.

So how's it feel to have murdered your first living opponent? And being possessed by us, how'd that feel? Were you aware at all during it?

>>276915
Walls?

Anyways, yeah. Get on with it and continue on to Rover's place.

...Might not want to leave that lurker on fire, though. Might catch something else on fire and then before you know it you have a repeat of six years ago.

Cook it and eat it. I bet it's great with butter.

rover throwed a iron ring at the lurker? where did he pull that out of!? his bag?

and blake, you dont have ot be so defensive about going to another mans house, he`s just showing you around be more polite.

also, ask rover if he remebers the wambler. (those things are so cute :3) maybe he can tell you more about your hippy days.

>It's fun... I can't explain it, I feel... alive when I kill... Never mind. Possession is odd. I'm awake, but I'm numb. Like when your foots asleep, but its my everything that's sleeping.

Blake: What do you mean walls?

Rover: We put up some walls around our beaches to keep them out, normally it does the trick, but they appeared early this year. Like months early.

>I kick some sand and dirt on the burning lurker to put it out. I'm not eating it, even if its well done already.

Rover: Well here we are.

Blake: small...

Rover: Yeah I used to have the biggest house in town, but then the keeper walked through it and well... Ta dah... I only need two rooms anyways since I live alone.

Blake: I'm sorry.

Rover: Don't be, it's not your fault.

Blake: yeah, but... I'm still sorry for you.

Rover: Thanks.

Ask about the keeper. And mention the crack in his window. He might want to get that fixed. Also, I suppose, take a break and get some tea?

>>277264
>I feel... alive when I kill...
Spoken like a true future (past?) serial killer. Son, I am so proud of you.

The questions I thought of were already asked, so... If you're feeling a little tired after that little tussle, then take a quick rest inside. Rover hasn't offered to let you in, but knowing how creepily obsessed he is with you, I'm sure he would.

Otherwise, better head on over to your house. Don't want those Hot Pockets to thaw or ground beef to spoil.

>>278112
Nah, that's normal, just ask anybody who's been in the military.

Rover: Yeah I should get that fixed.

Blake: Do you have any tea?

Rover: Sure, green or red?

Blake: Red please.

>I try to relax, I'm still stressed from the encounter. Rover open's a jar of peanuts and start's eating. He's smiling and his eyes are steady, but his hands are shaking... He dropped a few nuts, I don't think he noticed. The tea is beet red and tastes like... What does this taste like!? Its familiar but... I don't know.

Blake: Hey, Do you remember a wambler when we were young?

Rover: ... You remember that? Hhmm... Your memories are coming back I see, yeah those were the days... We would spend weeks in the woods, just living off nature and being our self's.

Blake: I can't believe you talked me into that stuff.

Rover: Eh? It was always your idea. You would do it even before I knew you.

>Really? That's not me. Damn gotta stop telling myself that. I'm me now and that was then... Still, its hard to be me when I know who I was.

Blake: Hey... Could you tell me what happened here? With the keeper?

Rover: ... He just Walked through the place, he didn't smash anything, he just walked, and it broke. He fought with my mother, Moria, She fought hard but it wasn't enough. All I have left of her is these two rooms and her weapon, The iron ring...

>He's looking shaky. I don't think I should be talking to him about it. But maybe it's best if it come's out. Maybe its best if it's me, since we were so close... Or maybe its best to not know, maybe I'll regret knowing.

>>278297
>What does this taste like!?
Does it taste like... MURDER?! *Dramatic zoom*

>more details y/n
Personally, I hate the guy, so any possible opportunity to upset him garners my full support. But it's probably better to hold off on that topic train for now. We can start the bridge burning after finding a new support character to supplant him.

So ask about the tea, instead. See if that helps you recognize its flavor and possibly wrack another memory out of your subconscious.

Changing the subject might be a good move, and since you're already getting some memory mojo from the tea, it might do you both good to ask about it. A delightful if mundane subject change.

>We would spend weeks in the woods, just living off nature
lawl you were an elf.

1-he`s still shakky from the fight (you two were tree hugging hippys, so killing might be new to him)
2-he feels really uncomfortable when talking about this subject(even with you)

He clearly need comfort right now and so do you. I say you hug him and maybe nimble on his neck to help bring back good memories. But knowing you, you`ll probably just say "nooo... I cant we`re both guys, we cant do that."

so instaed just ask about the tea.

Rover: Wow, calm down. Not the rock, Sulfur's scales, You do remember Sulfur right?

>... oohh, Right... Sulfur, my Gf.

Blake: You made tea out of her scales?

Rover: You don't remember? It was your favorite. You would drink it like water, she basically lived in your kettle.

Blake: Where is she?

Rover: She lives in town square, she, euhh... grew a bit.

Blake: Hhmmm... I'll have to go see her soon. But for now I have to go see my new place.

To be fair, that spit-take was all Rover's fault. I mean you weren't technically drinking Sulfur, just water flavored with her scales, so clearly Rover was just trying to catch you off guard by saying you were "drinking Sulfur."

>>278737
Eventually hurting him is nice, yes.

Anyways, since you wanna go see your place, then you'd better get a moving.

Rover: Nah I still need to unpack, plus I need an early night if I want to go chop down that wood tomorrow morning. and I think I'm getting on Eden's nerves so I'll leave you be.

>As soon as I open the door Rover speaks up.

Rover: If ever you need any help I'm here for you, and watch out for lurkers but I don't think you need to worry, you can see your place from here.

>As I walk home I notice how far I am from town. The small buildings now look as though I could hold them in my hand. I just realized that I spat tea all over Rover's kitchen... He didn't clean up, he just stood there and apologized, I'm not sure if he's a total slob or just really polite. A large house peaks up from behind the horizon, I'm assuming this is my place. Rover's Voice can be heard again faintly.

Rover: And don't go in the forest at night!

>Tortimer? My... My grand father? I really don't remember anything do I?..

Blake: Grandpa?

Tortimer: ... Am I?.. Ahh yes I remember now, you were sent away for breaking the town, good to see you again, how have you been keeping? I heard your having memory problems. Come in come in, you'll tell me all about it.

>>279846
our old man is a turtle? But haren't we a rabbit!

>>279856
Don't think too hard about it.

This seems unlikely. Anyway, seems we're not the only ones with memory problems if this turtle is hesitating before claiming to be your grandfather. Which not only seems unlikely but is potentially a grab for control. What proof or evidence do you have to suggest that he is? Not that you should confront him about it, but just take anything he says with a grain of salt. Also explain that you have forgotten about "breaking the town" and if he'd be so kind as to refresh your memory, it'd be nice and possibly prevent further mistakes.

Nice picture btw. A snake, an apple, and Eden.

Blake: I can't help but feel some nostalgia from this house, but I can't quite put my finger on why.

Tortimer: Well that's simple little Blake, you grew up here. This was your home, you might not recognize it though, we had to renovate a lot after you totaled the top floors.

>>279893

Blake: About that... What do you mean by that?

Tortimer: Well... Six years ago you and Eden went berserk and blew some things to smithereens. Twas quite the show.

>I have such a hard time believing this, I don't see how I... We could do that? And his neutrality to it! Are all old geezers this emotionless?

>Tortimer pulls out a small bell from his waistcoat and rings it so it can be heard from across the house. Just as soon a small gray creature waring a maid suite comes running but trips at the last second.

Tortimer: Bring our guests things to Shino's and tell him that our guest is early.

>just as soon the maid gets to her feet grabs my bags and dashes off again before turning a corner and making a loud thump noise.

>>280609
>grain of salt
To take something with a grain of salt means to exercise your intelligence in the activity, i.e. does what he say make sense or are there discrepancies?

>Are all old geezers this emotionless?
Not really. They've certainly experienced quite a bit in their lives, but he seems unusually blasé about it all.

Kobold maid? She come with the house or does she just follow Tortimer about the place? 'Cause having a maid would be pretty sweet. Just don't have her bring you anything hot.

Shino? Is he your housemate?

I wonder if we're really a guest or if it's more a case of the master returning home after a long hiatus. Regardless, clearly the banishment from town's no longer in effect since no one contested your return here. Even so, it's quite within our power to go berserk and lay all of creation to waste, unfortunately it's difficult for us to do so on command. It happens on occasion, but not under as much control as one might wish to.

Anyway, time to get cleaned up from our battle, perhaps dressed in something less NOT YOURS, and familiarize ourselves with our new surroundings and housemates.

>Tortimer doesn't aspire much trust at all, but I'm sorta glad I met him... For the first time I know some thing for sure... I don't like this guy.

Blake: Say... About that maid? Does she come with the house?

Tortimer: Pun-pun? She works for the house. Just watch out, she lost her tail to a wolf when she was young so she falls over a lot.

Blake: Oh and... Who's Shino?

Tortimer: You'll be living with him. You were friends when you were young. He's that Rover's brother.

Blake: ... Was I banished?

Tortimer: Hmm? Of course you were. Why? How were you treated in town?

Blake: Every one was kind to me, they seemed to miss me.

Tortimer: Odd... One would think you'd get stoned by now. You'll have to plea before the elders tomorrow, don't worry you all ready have my vote and I'm sure Sulfur's pleased them enough. The tourists brought in from your sacrifice must of covered the damages ten fold.

>A trial? I'll have to plea for my right to live in my home town... In the town my forefathers built... What if they don't accept me? Where will I go? I need to clear my mind... Change of clothes and a shower... That sounds nice.

Remember, you can always find your hidden powers and burn them to the ground if the elders reject you. But for now, let's proceed with high hopes and meet our roommate. Why, again, do we have Rover's brother living with us? I mean clearly our place is huge but he's ROVER'S brother, not ours. DO we have any siblings? I think that might've been answered before. Oh well.

Yeah, or just leave quietly if the elders reject you. :I Seriously you think you can't take whatever trial they decide to put up? You're a good man Blake. Nothing they can do will change that.

>>280814
Oh, I wouldn't worry too much. On the remote chance they decide to send you packing you can just pick up Sulfur and go; they'll change their minds to keep her there.

Blake: Why again am I living with Shino? And euh... Why is he here to begin with?

Tortimer: Well you see Blake after you totaled the top floor we had to renovate. And that father of yours decided that the third floor would be an apartment complex, to bring in extra revenue. You see we only have one free room left and it just so happens to be in Shino's apartment.

Blake: Oh... Well that makes sense.

Tortimer: But I am sorry, if it were up to me you would never pay rent in your own house. But your father left that artist to make decisions in his leave. and he insists that you pay rent. But I managed to cut you a good deal for you. Half the rent that you pay, which is already half since you have a room mate, but don't tell him... mister Shino always get rowdy around money.

>hmm... Maybe I was wrong about him, but he still seems off...

Blake: Thank you, I couldn't help but notice your statue.

Tortimer: Ahh yes. That really is the only good thing that artist brings in.

So the place IS something of a hotel. So are there other 'guests' that we might expect to run into around the place? Also, is Shino the artist in question or is that a yet-unnamed-and-unmet individual?

Also, um... Is Dad still alive?

Okay, so your father is alive. And apparently at least one voice wants to add finding him to your list of things to do.

For now, though, let's get this encounter with your new roommate over.

Also, I have to say that I am kinda disappointed that Tom didn't turn out to be Rover's brother.

Probably there's some law that no one can talk about him in the present tense. But maybe someone you trust more than this guy will be willing to talk. Or maybe write it out, if speaking of him is forbidden. Or maybe you'll just have to go outside of the city limits.

>Kneeling down I rest my head on hers. Grasping her and pulling her towards me she makes a quick *eep* but doesn't struggle. Her fur is soft and warm. After a few moments she hugs back... Her tiny breathing is cute. After all this, a hug really is nice. Gently patting her head I ask...

Blake: Just what happened to your arm?

Pun-pun: I... I-i tripped on a knife. Master Shino leaves them lying all over. I would watch your step if I were you.

Blake: HHmmm... Well thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

>Her story doesn't seem very credible. Still, I let go. She bows and then dashes off before turning a corner and making a loud *Thump* noise.

>>284304

*Thump*?

Go check that shit out dawg

I'm bumpin' this shit with some mother fuckin' checkin' that shit out!
Yes, checking up on her is a very good option at this point.

I happen to think the story sound very credible. After all, tripping really seems to be her gimmick, and she wouldn't really have made something up as ludicrous as "Master Shino leaves knives laying around" unless it was true, as you're about to discover the veracity of the statement.

Considering her penchant for falling over, I don't think that checking up on her is necessary, else you'll be doing nothing else. The only real reason to not move on would be to tell her to go seek some ACTUAL medical attention for the wound rather than just wrapping it up and assuming it'll be okay. Clearly it's recent, as she didn't have it when we met her with Tortimer.

Key words there. Get her to a doctor. Now.

Great, now you've got red on you. Time to either take her to help or get someone else to do so.

You've got her fixed up now, and... a big pool of tasty blood! Lick it!

>>285844
Yes, lick it. Indulge your fantasies of becoming a rainbow drinker so that you may steal overuse borrow a running gag from a popular Internet webcomic involving a crudely-drawn spit-take accompanied by an odd, short exclamation.

Blake: BLUH!

...Or don't because that's stupid and just seek further medical attention for Pun-pun.

Rover didn't show us to the doctors so were gonna need to find some one who knows where to find one. We could try Tortimer, or we could knock on one of the doors in the hall. 4 is Shino and personally I don't trust him. (punpuns story is sketchy and he's apparently an X enclaive and a ninja)We should find Rover but he's far... So unless some one else has a better idea try knocking on a door. I say door number 2

also make up a story about how this happaned. beacuase "she fell on a knife and almost died but I saved her with my MAGIC POWERS!" (if it commes down to this try desperatly not to show off your blood covered knofe you got from the ghost.

>I can't confirm that she's fine so we need to get a doctor or a nurse... or some one to check up on her... As much as I would love to make a good first impression on my new neighbors, I think asking them for help is the best choice. Easily picking up the small bold in one arm I knock on door number two. The door swings open almost as if I was expected.

Blake:...

Kevin:...

>Stunned in shock at the sight of the familiar face. I some how manage to find the strength to ask for help.

Blake: She needs to see a doctor. Can you help?

>A voice from inside the apartment yells out.

???: Is that the pizza?!

Kevin: Nah... It's a dude with a wounded chick.

???:What! Again? God damn it that's the third time.

Kevin: Come in, I'll take a look at her.

>I'm unsure if I should trust him...

>>286230
You've got magic. If he tries to pull anything, just kill him.

>>286230
The fuck? This is one HELL of a coincidence.

Trust him? Sure, why not. First thing to do, however, is to slap those cigarettes out of his mouth while muttering 'No smoking in my house'

>>286237
well he IS in his own appartment, besides the place isnt exactly yours either.

anyway I say trust him for now

She needs a doctor. If he has medical training, we can let him look at her; otherwise, try to find someone who does.

Eden: No smoking in my house.

Kevin: Your lucky Peter is his father Eden or you'd be-

>The goblin walk's past me and throw's his coat on the couch. He gently places the bold on it. He then inspects her. He opens her eyes wide, checks her breathing rate and heart rate to... He thoroughly inspects where the wound was before glancing at me with a smile.

Kevin: Nice job healing this wound... I can tell just by the blood that it was bad. But the wound is completely healed, she might not even remember ever having it. She gonna need rest and lots of air, so lets get these tight clothes undone... There...

>>286841
Put those cigarettes out by grinding them into the dripping blood on your shirt.
"As long as she'll be alright.
Have any idea how this happened?"

compliment his taste in clothing

Or how about we question how he knows who/what Eden is?

Eden: As long as she'll be alright.

Kevin: Not a clue... The wound is completely gone, I can only assume it was sharp.

>Kevin walk's to the small kitchen and washes his hands. Reaching in the fridge he grabs a can which open's with a *Pshhh...*

Blake: Yo eum... How do you know Eden?

Kevin: It and I go way back... 20 years ago Nick and I worked on a shell for it down in Babel. But we never could quite get it to work. ain't that right Nicky boy?!

???: YUP!

Kevin: Eventually I got fet up and called Peter. He took two days to do what we failed in eight years... And the rest is history... Didn't it tell you about me?

Blake: No... We can't remember much these days...

Kevin: Figures... That's the problem with having to many minds in one brain, it has to record every thing a bunch of times. At times you just lack memory space and the rest goes down the drain. I wanted Eden to be hosted in a chip of some sort but... Well, We saw how that didn't work out...

>>287022
"I suppose we already tried, and failed, to fix that problem.

I suppose that means you know what we are, then? 'Cause we have no clue."

ah, pretty sure only non-organic host that can contain us is a blue crystal sphere. like a crystal ball but blue and made from actual crystal not glass.

>>287022
Hey, Blake? I suppose now would be a good time to mention that we are neither Eden, nor You, considering that when Eden takes over it does nothing to us, and instead she/he just takes over your body entirely. What is Eden's gender anyhow, or is it a moot point, like with a GF?
My best theory yet as that we are the fragments left behind after each mental 'reset' you go through; too many minds in one brain, as it were.
The only other option is that we're extra-universal pseudo-spiritual entities that have latched onto you as a host by a product of chance and circumstance, driven to help you survive until we can strengthen our grip on reality and fully enter, free from the chaotic doom of the external void.

Let's ask Kevin to introduce us to his roommate, or whatever. It's only polite.

Nick: S'ry mate. Had to use the loo. So you're the Blake I've heard so much aboot. Geeze louise when Shino told me that Eden'd be moving in, I smiled so hard it pulled a muscle.

Kevin: Well this is Nick. Hey Nick think fast!

>Nick's arm lunges upwards and grabs the flying can. He give the can a displeased look...

Nick: Ain't there anything better?

Kevin: Nope... It's black ribbon or lolipiss. Want one Blake?

Kevin: To hell if I know! I spent eight years of my life trying to find out... When Babel gave you to us all they had to say was: Put this in a weapon and make it kill. Dumb idiots didn't know what they were mettleing with. You were Like pure bio energy, only you shined with all the colors at the same time... pure energy... but it was alive... Hook it up to a speaker and it talks... Plug a mike in it and it listens... But no... I have no clue as of to what you are or where you come from.

Nick: Hello Eden.

Eden: HELLO, hello hihello. Build us a stomach so we can drink coffee! Hello GREETINGS! Quack.

Nick: hihi... Good to see yeh too. I've a good feeling aboot this, I think we're gonna make some headway t'day. But then again I always say that...

Eden: Don't get all down about it nick. You work at your own pace. Yeah you'll figure it out sooner or later. I'm serious about the coffee you know!

Nick: Thanks... I don't know how I'd work here without you mate... Some times the pressure is just to much... But I'm glade your here to support me.

Eden: So your gonna put us inside you, and then what?

Nick: Then we'll be together... just you and I... Oh how I want you inside me. I want to feel you mate... To be with you.

*kiss*

Eden: Kick Nick! kiss. I'd hug you but I have no arms. You can kiss all you want after coffee.

>odd I'm not in this flash back... It must be yours... Either way... I won't talk about it if you don't want me to.

well it was SOMEONE'S flashback, not mine, we constantly change form, probably why we forgot in the first place, the ones that remembered went away. and like i said before, crystal sphere, preferably blue.

Well that was interesting, informative, amusing and creepy all at once. This Nick guy definitely has something of an unhealthy obsession with us. I'd be careful of him if I were you, Blake, as it seems where he may have intended to internalize Eden (and probably failed), you've succeeded (whether intentional or not). He's probably rather jealous and may attempt something dramatic, so keep your eyes out. Not that Nick's a bad guy, nor really anyone else we've met thus far, but rather that it seems people tend to be... crazy, one way or another.

I have a question I'd like to be voiced. At least to the knowledge of the people present, when and under what circumstances was Eden/Us discovered?

>I want you inside me.
>/quest/ finally gets what it wants!

>>287553
It probably is ours, but we can accept memories even if they are strange or unpleasant to us.
The memory doesn't make us uncomfortable, Blake. At least not how you think. There's sadness, sorrow, and concern, but it comes from not remembering what happened. To us... To Nick.

Well, we can ask for answers.

"Nick, we remember a lab. We were less lucid. You were speaking with us, telling us that only living things can host us. What happened to change your plans?"

Eden: when and under what circumstances was Eden/Us discovered?

Kevin: Don't know... you couldn't see or hear until we gave you ears and eyes to work with. We could never pinpoint how long they had you in storage before giving you to us... But you said it was a long... long time.

Nick: And don't get us started on the location mate. Babel's arms reach every where... North, south, space, time... Even other dimensions I hear...

Eden: Nick, we remember a lab. We were less lucid. You were speaking with us, telling us that only living things can host us. What happened to change your plans?

Nick: I got demoted... Higher ups thought me crazy and figured that I shouldn't have a relationship with my work. They sunk me down from head biomechanist ta nothing... I nevah woulda seen yah again hadn't Kevin here taken me up as a mechano.

>>287791
"Thank you. We're sorry things didn't turn out better..."
[Walk over, put our arms around him, and kiss him]
"and that we can't be more than friends; it wouldn't be right to Blake or yourself, Nick."

>>287795
DO NOT DO THIS.

Instead let's continue gathering information, this time pressing about Babel.

No talking about relationship drama yet. It's too soon to say for sure what we can or won't do with him. Nick seems nice so far, but we've only just met him.

>>287803
If by nice you mean creepy then yes he certainly is. It's like Blake is a magnet for creeps or something.

So, is Babel the "they" who are "also wrong, too" from way back when? And what are they supposed to be wrong about? Us? And what's the Encla(i)ve's role in all of this?

>>287791
>Babel's arms reach every where... North, south, space, time... Even other dimensions I hear...
Am I the only one concerned by this?
I understand that we won't be conflicting with them, since we won't be building an empire or have any direct personal vendetta, that we know about anyways.
But still, we know so, so very little.
How powerful is Babel, how CAN they be so powerful? What is the exact technological and magical build of this world? Is there space exploration or colonization, is there time travel?
We just don't know.
And That Scares Us.

Take over Blake. Pose seductively. Point out that now we *can* be inside him. Pelvic thrust. Back to Blake.

look at me, then back to blake, then back to me, then BACK to blake, sadly he isn't us but we have the same body.
