Once the world was beautiful.

Once, the world held splendor, magic, and vistas that caught one's breath. But that was before the source of Magic was corrupted by unknown sources, and a great Calamity shook the land. And now, the world is mostly desert, dead forests... And forsaken cities. The world is dying, a horrible cancer eating at its heart for the past 200 years.

And that cancer has many tumors. Bandits roam the land, tearing the survivors apart. Mutated beasts roam the sands and the forests. Corrupted machines work to purge the world of man. Half-man, half-beasts roam the land, unknowable agents of calamity or help.

In this diseased land, are you man or woman?

I feel alright. There's no pain - missing a pinky feels weird, though. Rose seems to notice me staring at the stump.

"I, uh, couldn't find it." she mutters, scratching the back of her head. "Sorry. Had no ice to pack it, anyway." there's a pause, then she speaks up again. "Uhm. The doctor is seeing to the other kids, the ones who we managed to save."

"H-how many?"

"Seven. Seven children." she says. "We saved Seven children."

It seems such a small number. I mean... There were so many cages and there was a whole building...

"Only that many...?"

"Sera, when you deal with bandits as long as I have, you learn that even saving one child from them is a miracle. We... You... did great things yesterday. Once you're discharged, we're going to celebrate." she says with a soft smile. "I'll introduce you to Buster, even."

I smile back.

"Say, uhm. You and me..."

"I'm not sure if 'we' can be a thing, Sera. But... I'll see about it. You were quite helpful, even if you did nearly get yourself killed." she smiles. "But you're stuck here until the doctor clears you, 'less you feel like running around town in that gown."

"Alright. Are you going anywhere?"

"Nowhere to go. And you're decent company anyway."

"Thanks for sticking around." I smile.

"It's no biggie." she waves it off, sitting on the bed again.

"So... who's Buster?" I ask.

"A friend. Works in the bar - well, not in the bar exactly, but... You get the..." she looks at me and stifles a giggle. "Oh, you've not been around long. Well, you'll see when you meet him. He's a right gentleman."

I'm not sure how to respond to that...

"I should have sacrificed Greyface..."

"Eh. There's a lot of bandits." she says. "Besides, most mages I know only know a couple spells anyway - they prefer to master and apply a few rather than only know the bare workings of dozens." she shrugs. "At least, that's what he said." she adds.

"What do you know about demons?"

"Not a whole lot - other than even the smallest of them is a bitch to fight. They're almost all at least as smart as a cat, if not as intelligent as a person. And all of them love to see us hurt, if only in different ways."

It isn't long before the doctor arrives, a tall man with a hound's dark fur and snout. His eyes are severe.

"Well, you'll be happy to know that all of the orphans suffered nothing untreatable - time will only tell if their poor minds will recover."
"And the woman?" Rose asks.
"She'll be alright, but none of the children were hers, apparently. She's adopting some, and it turns out she has some talent with healing magics - so she'll be helping out around here, when people are willing to take that sorta treatment."

The doctor turns to me.
"Miss Sera. You're alright, I just wanted to be sure I saw you on the way out. Jameson, he works the counter? He'll return your armor and weaponry. You're free to go. But one of the children wanted to see you."

He moves aside, and a small girl - no older than maybe ten - approaches. Her large blue eyes stare breifly at my horns, and I notice a jagged scar on her neck as she approaches. Tiny little wings covered in white down sprout from the sides of her temples, as well as a pair on her ankles.

She reaches out and hugs me, having to partially climb on the bed to reach.

"She can't talk." the doctor says. "Simple sounds, yes, but..." he shakes his head. "She also has some talent with healing magics - and has used it, it seems. "Anyway. Do you feel alright? You're free to go if you can stand."

I carefully get up, and while dizzy at first, make my way to the counter to get my things - changing back into my outfit in a nearby room.

I notice my backpack to be a bit heavier.

"There was some things I managed to pick up on the way out - some chip, some salvage that I sold. You got half that since I had to carry you back and pay for healing."

Where do I go now? Is there anyone in Transit I want to talk to?

I can not help but think that this is one of those moments where we should ask the girl if she wants to come with us..

Other than that, take Rose up on her offer to go celebrate and meet this "Buster", who I think might be a mage, perhaps.

No. 377965 ID: 3947e9

>>377950
well, why not. Adopting a child with healing talents will be SUPER useful. Plus she is adorable.
Naturally we can't take her into combat anytime soon, or while traveling with Rose though.
"Can you write dear?" if yes use writing to communicate with her.
Ask her or the doctor if she can't write:
her name, if she has any relatives.
ask the doctor where the children are going to stay, who will care for them, and whether you can visit. Goal is to build up the connection a bit more and then adopt her... and possible other children (especially any with the right talents).

Stick with rose for now, she is friendly, she accepts a lot of you (even sacrificing... as long as its bad guys) and you really need the assistance right now.

Just keep mum about demons and don't get drunk, as they say "in went the wine out went the secret"

No. 378013 ID: 3d19dd

She's got Angelic mutations? Interesting. Too bad she can't heal her own vocal chords, from the look of it. Or doesn't care to.

Adopting her might be dangerous to her health, though, if we intend to take her with us. Are we really about to go recruiting a child soldier?

In any case I suggest we go see Billy and Tammy and MAYBE Nickel before we go anywhere else?

Also ask dog-doctor if he sells medical supplies for on-the-go.

>Doesn't heal self
He said she was working on it, but its not quite right yet. She can make sounds but not proper speech.

And we don't have to take her into combat for her to be super helpful, we can get a house in the city, have her in the house. We go out for combat while she gets a babysitter... and when we come home, magic healing!

>>378013
To be fair, I was not thinking in the child soldier kind of way. More in a traveling companion to care for. Since the world is a wasteland, I figure surviving alone is not so easy and I doubt there are THAT many people willing to adopt others.

Besides, we could either obtain a living space in this town for her to stay at when we do some missions and such or rent a room in an inn when ever we go to other towns so we are not separated, but still do not take her directly into danger.

Also, besides all of the above, the interaction provided from such a situation would be quite interesting from a plot perspective. Somebody to acquire things for, instruct, try to get to talk, etc..
Kinda hoping the next update wont be: "Ah, you want to adopt her? Well, she is one of the children the women adopted."

>>
No. 378106 ID: d14d3e

Thinking about the child makes me frown. One one hand, it would be nice to have a cheaper alternative to this. But on the other, caring for a child isn't exactly something you do in your spare time, either.

"Rose, about the gir-"

She fixes me with a gaze that roots me to the ground. Rose hasn't been angry with me the entire time I've known her, but now... Now I feel like a gazelle or something stalked by a lion.

I am honestly afraid of her.

"Children stay in town." she says simply, with such simple authority that I find myself nodding.

"Of course. H-how hard is it to get a home here?"

"In the station? You'd need a lotta chip. As for outside, just build a hut of your own."

Mmmf. I don't like either of those options. "Guards try to keep an eye on the shanty, but it's pretty big. You'd have more to worry about from other folk here than from outside - things taken, most often. The big R and other violent crime isn't as common, but..." she sighs. "Olneigh's needed for a reason, you know?"

The more I talk, the more it seems like adopting her would be a bad idea - she needs a real parent, not a wasteland adventuress. I'm barely 19, myself. More a big sister than a mom.

Moving from that subject...

"Doctor?"

"Yes?" he asks, looking up from a clipboard.

"Do you sell supplies?"

"... When I have spare. Unfortunately, most of my things come from Jamestown - with only Tinsel offering trade at the moment, I'm afraid I'm a little scant."

"Oh, okay."

I take a deep breath. "Well then. Shall we celebrate?"

"Sure." Rose says.

We make our way back to the bar, where Utah is standing in the centre of the room. It seems so strange to see him standing - his prescence behind the bar felt somehow permanent.

"Ah, the conquering heroes." he says. "You get a free round, on the house! Greyface was making us fellow orcs look bad, you have my thanks." he says. "What would you ladies like!"

"Morning roar, please~" Rose says, already relaxed. Her tail slowly makes a pendulum back-and-forth, not lashing, not still... more lazy. And when she walks, her hips...

"Sera?" he asks, and I'm jilted from my reverie. "Lass, Scarlet will probably talk to you in a minute, but what can Utah get you?"

I feel a blush come to my lips, and I stammer out that I just want what Rose wants. She quirks an eyebrow.

"Are... you sure? It's kinna heavy."

"I'm sure!"

He chuckles and begins to work as I sit down, noticing that my own tail is already mimicking Rose's. For the first time, I actually get a better look at the whole of the bar, or as Utah puts it, his Forget-the-world. The tables are littered with people of all sorts, and in the corner under the stairs rests the same man from before with the chilling gaze. The place feels warm, open, and somehow... soft.

And that's when I see Buster, as Rose calls to him. The first thing I notice is that he's really only wearing a very short set of cutoff jeans. ...Really short. His figure is slim, more like a runner or a swimmer, and fit. Soft brown fur covers his body, and long floppy ears droop on either side of his head, framing a slightly feminine face. His eyes, a solid green, glow softly in the dim light of the bar as he approaches, giving Rose a tight hug.

He has a little cottonball tail, but I hardly notice.

"Rose! How are you~?"

"I'm fine." she says. "This is Sera."

He turns to me, and despite myself I find color rising to my cheeks for the second time within the hour.

"Hey there~. What can I do for you?"

Righty, first off, ask Rose if she thinks the girl will be okay or what her chances are.

NO HEAVY DRINKING! Actually no drinking alcohol at all if you can help it.
Put the drink down, you have too many secrets that we KNOW will cause you be lynched to be able to afford to drink.

>(And apparently a whore.)
I don't think he is one. Just a player...
Rose was actually looking at having him as a potential ally in attacking the jesters.
>His eyes, a solid green, glow softly
I am pretty sure this means he is a powerful psychic, based on what we have seen thus far... Or maybe a mage. Do our eyes glow? Might want to ask about that.

>Thirdly, what type of STD's exist in this world and should Sera worry about that..
We are not ready to be knocked up so lets just avoid sex FOR NOW at least.
>Righty, first off, ask Rose if she thinks the girl will be okay or what her chances are.
Upvoting, we are concerned after all, we were serious in our concern for the children and we shall visit again even if we don't really care our reputation requires that we pretend to... although I must admit that I personally do care; I suck at being a villain :P
>Second, anybody willing to set: "acquire house in town" as a longer term objective? I am a bit undecided on that.
With the "conquer the world by might of force" plan on indefinite hold due to the sheer amount of POWERFUL individuals, "control it through subterfuge (at least for now)" is the remaining option and a house in town is a very good idea.

I still want to know more about the 'Dark Tunnel'. That's the one place we haven't visited so far. And I don't mean going there to buy company. Just because it's a brothel doesn't mean it's not important. Quite the other way around in such waystation town a Transit.

>Second, anybody willing to set: "acquire house in town" as a longer term objective? I am a bit undecided on that.
I am willing to second acquiring a home as a long term goal. That may be house in town, not necessarily in Transit. On the other hand it may be a vault with a good water source or a wagon home with a nomadic tribe, perhaps of Lion-Blooded. Lets not get too specific with long term goals.

Blush furiously while mumbling incoherently. Obviously.

This would actually be a good time to know whether Sera has had sex before or not.

Best option, of course, would be a threesome.

That was the first place you visited.

>>378124
>NO DRINKING.

Spoilsport. I guess you're right, though.
"N-n-uh, I, er." Words fail me and Buster chuckles as Rose leans close to whisper to him.

"Rose, you know I'm better with... and prefer... men." he replies quietly, though he's not very good with subtle. "If you want me to get Ricky, or Scarlet..."

Rose waves it off, fixing him a look and whispering again.

"...Oh, it's like that." he says, and smiles with a little nod. He smiles back at me. "Listen, your friend rose bought you three hours of my time." he says, tapping the counter twice. When Utah looks up, Buster shows him three fingers, and is handed a red-colored shot glass.

he places this in my hand. "When you're ready to, ah, enjoy my company privately, hand that to the creepy-looking dude with the blue eyes." he says, pointing at the man under the stairs. "He'll tell you my room number and when I'll be ready for you. Don't worry." he leans close to whisper. "I'm very gentle."

Rose watches my face as Buster departs, and I find it hard to resist watching him go. A few seconds later, Rose bursts out laughing.

"Totally worth the chip for the look on your face."

"That was a prank?!"

"No, if you turn in the glass, it's the real deal. But if you're not ready for it, we can get a refund." she says softly.

I carefully set it on the counter, and look at my drink forlornly.

"Listen, Sera. You should know, a person's past don't matter all that much to me. You showed me well enough yesterday that whatever you did for your spells - you're walking the right path now."

The right path.

I still can't remember properly what happened in that vault. It feels strongly like I lost something important - but I can't place my finger on it.

You, too, feel something was lost there - though you can feel it more like a missing limb.

I nod quietly, absentmindedly sipping the drink. I almost cough it out. The taste hits me after the initial bitterness - like... coffee and cream and very, very strong liqueur. Rose giggles and downs her drink quickly, snapping the drink glass onto the counter with a refreshed look on her eyes.

"It's a little hot at first, but guzzling helps."

I stare down at the drink, the brown liquid reminding me of Buster's coat - and Rose's. I wonder if she's the same color all over...

>NO ALCOHOL

I think over the day, the horrible feelings of casting again and again, the sights I've seen, the lives I've ended - both at home (though I can't remember how) and in that tent. These will haunt me forever... Every sense it touched. The sight of those horrible, horrible paintings and gory decorations, the sounds of terrible laughter. The feeling of the gun in my hand, the book held tight in the other like a part of me. The solid earth under my back as Greyface straddled me... The smell and taste of blood in the air and in my mouth.

>NO

But...

>ALCOHOL

I could forget

>NO

For a little while

>Alcohol

It'd all go away...

>...

Fuck it.

I knock the drink back hard, swallowing it as soon as it slides past my tongue. The tastes that I barely touched before flicker into life, now - a full, hard hammer of grains, the softer but still earthy taste of coffee, the gentle coddling of cream. I feel the fire run down my throat and into my belly.

I feel warmth on my face and through my body, a soft buzzing in my head.

[Null Deactivated]
[Sensitive activated]

Something in my head clicks open, falls away. Barriers, something... strange falls.

I look up to Rose in worry at this strange sensation.

Is she alright? It's a pretty heavy drink to just throw back like that...
I hear
"Are you okay, Sera?" she asks, just after.
For the first time ever.

I blink, shake my head hard. Something rattles back into place.

[Sensitive deactivated]
[Null activated]

"Yeah. Another, please." I say. I can still stand up, the room isn't spinning - I just feel a little warmer, a little softer. A smile touches my face.

"Hey, Rose... What about, uh... Bad stuff?" I ask, tapping the red shot glass.

Rose smiles. "Everyone here is clean - but don't worry, if you don't check out with the Doc, we can clean you up." she wiggles her fingers a little to indicate the 'clean' to be done magically. "As for that other thing - Doc can handle that, too, so long's you visit the next morn." she says simply. "Don't worry, I didn't take you here to get you drunk and drag off to some spring mattress." she jokes, drinking her next serving.

"You're implying I'd mind, terribly."

Wait, what'd I just say!?

Rose chokes on her drink, nearly spitting it out, and I giggle at the normally confused lionblooded finally looking honestly flabbergasted. There's a long pause, a good one, as she raises an eyebrow.

"We'll see where the night takes us, eh? Utah, get her another - not so saucy, alright?"

"Rock and roll, coming right up."

"Hey, Rose. Is that girl gonna be alright?"

"She'll be fine. I wouldn't have left them if I thought them in rough hands. Don't worry. Tonight's for you! Enjoy yerself."

...
What sort of dialogue should I pursue with Rose?
Should I take up Buster's offer, or...?

No idea what to ask about other than magic, demons and mutations..

Hmm, maybe ask her to tell you about the world on a more general scale? Like what the hell was the Calamity, how is exactly is the world dying, are there countries or is everything run more or less on a small scale, did tech cease working or just fell by the wayside due to the Calamity, etc..

Ah, right you are.

Obviously, Sera can not hold her alcohol very well, so while still coherent, tell Rose to stop you if you A) Become an embarrassing drunk, B) Become a sacrifice everybody/violent drunk or C) Become a mopey/I killed people drunk.
After that, drink until you black out or alternatively if you want to shack up with either of those two, that should probably be up to you, as opposed to the demonic voices of a book..

Either way, I am going to sit back and wait for a [DISCONTINUITY] and a more decision intensive moment, which will probably be tomorrow.

You should totally take Buster up on his offer. But you don't really know him, and though you trust Rose when she says he's a gentleman, you'd feel a lot better if she'd go with you. You know, just in case, just so that you could truly feel secure and enjoy yourself. Maybe forget how fucked up the world is for a couple hours.

378205

I take the next drink offered to me, and drink it in one shot. Again, I'm assaulted by the variety of flavour - The rough strength of some brew of beer, with the hammer of grains, and the soft followup of some sort of syrupy flavouring. I noticed when he served it that the drink was layered, I guess it was on purpose. My head's really abuzz, now, as I smile dumbly at Rose.

"Hey, Utah." Rose asks. "Can we get some music?"

"Sure thing." he says, snapping his fingers. The jukebox in the corner whirrs to life.

Cue Music

"hey Rose, can... Can we dance?" I ask uncertainly. A gentle, careful question.

She smiles, setting down her drink and taking my hand with care as we move out to a clear space near the back. The closeness is surprisingly... warm. I rest my head on her shoulder, or rather, I nuzzle just below it, being careful about my horns. Time almost seems to slow. I'm surprised when she's the first to speak up.

"If you hadn't been there." she says softly. "I probably wouldn't have made it."

"No, I'm sure you could have done it. I'm... I wasn't that useful."

She laughs. "I lost it when he came at me..."

"Sera, I lost it right when we got into the room." she says softly. "If you hadn't had come along, I'd be dead - or worse. I'm stupid when it comes to kids. You kept me alive, and I'm thanking you."

"A-about that..." I say as we continue to swing around. "It's kinda... I mean, with Buster, it's my... I'm a..."

"You're scared, huh?"

"N-nervous. I'd feel safer with... you there."

I want to hide almost as soon as I say it, but her soft chuckle is something I can feel and hear, my ears nest to her chest as they are.

"I'll be there." she whispers. "Don't you worry."

I nod as the song slowly comes to an end and, before I lose my courage, pick up the shot glass. Wandering back to the man with the blue eyes, I present it to him.

He's huge. Wide and tall and covered with thick, rippling muscle, he simply nods.
"Room 3." he says, taking the glass.

I nod, and make my way up the stairs, not even stumbling. It feels like a dream as I enter the room and look around, the door creaking shut behind me. It's a nice room, honestly. It's kept clean, the bed, large enough to accommadate two people, is clean and made. It smells of strawberries. I've only had them once, but I'll never forget that smell.

Nervously, I sit heavily on the bed, and set the book aside, on the bedstand. It isn't until a few moments pass that I feel someone else sit beside me.

"Sorry if I lead you on about Buster." comes a soft murmur at my side - Rose's voice. Her hand touches my shoulder. "But... these are the best rooms in town. I wanted you to remember this - not a roll on a mattress in some hut." she says softly. "You can still get up and leave now, if you want..."


Stay or go?

Also, you should stay.

You are gonna stay. Hey, an idea. Use the time with Rose to cuddle and just say how at least Rose was brave and confident and strong while you were weak and you missed all your shots and you could have dropped Greyface but you didn't and dammit, you just feel bad.
It could be your emotions bursting after the whole getting stabbed issue or the alcohol or a mixture if both. Let's have a small breakdown up in here.

Stay. If you aren't confident enough to pull her Rose into a hug with your arms, use your tail to pull her closer.

"I... I'm not going anywhere." I find myself saying. I look up at her and she smiles in return, a hand rising to touch my cheek, then sliding back through my hair, gently pushing my head closer to hers. Without another moment's hesitation, she kisses me. If someone had approached me in the vault three years ago, and told me I'd be kissing a woman like this as my first, well... I'd probably call them insane.But here I am - her head tilting slightly, as she gently pushes me back onto the bed. It's... surprisingly soft, really. My heart races as she slowly pulls the zipper down on my jumpsuit. I can feel it, every inch - over my collarbone, between my breasts, over my belly, resting just below my navel. Her finger traces the line of bared skin and plain lingerie...

Is she purring?

She rises from leaning over me, knees on either side of my hips, and stretches. Her long leather duster with the armored shoulder is gone, I notice, leaving her in a sort of cross between a boiled leather cuirass and a tanktop. She smiles at me, unbuckling it and lifting it over her head before setting it aside, then undoes those slightly tight blue jeans and belt, sliding them off as well to set them aside, leaving her wearing only plaid panties. Gently, she reaches down and pulls my suit off, leaving me in my pale, white, simple undergarments.

She pauses - and I get a good look at her, while she does the same at me. Her head is crowned with a mane of red hair, truly red. Her name is apt. Green eyes seem to almost shimmer in the dim light. Her body is strong, but lean - slightly muscular, yet feminine. Her breasts...

Still small enough to have perk, but large enough to fill my hands. Her fur is dark brown all over - except for a long, bulbous line of tan that stretches from her chin to her crotch, an interesting pair of lines I trace from her neck to the sides of her breasts, stopping at the waistband of her plaid panties. Her tail lashes the air behind her.

Scars.

I almost didn't notice them - small, tiny pockmarks in her skin beneath the fur. Well-hidden. I don't even notice them until I touch them, constellations of tiny bumps and lines I find myself engrossed in. And beneath those, the skin itself, firm muscles and warmth. Each scar is a badge of a fight entered and won, or escaped. But ruminating on her nature, I don't think she's run that much. Still, I find my hands exploring her breasts again as she leans back down to kiss my neck, eliciting a gasp at the sudden novelty of feeling.She sucks softly at my neck, reaching behind me to undo my bra and pull it away, dropping it at the side of the bed with everything else as her head slides down my collarbone - anothe soft press of the lips there.

Her kisses touch the sides of my breast, her hand gently roving around its opposite, massaging me. And then her mouth latches onto my nipple, sending electricity through my body while her fingers toy with the other. I have trouble staying quiet, and I don't know what to do with my hands - opting to grip the sheets tightly. I feel a warmth in my belly, steadily building now. My breathing is more rapid and wild, my voice sometimes acting up without my consent. I can't move - The feelings running through my body paralyze me as she smirks, peeling away my last piece of clothing slowly.

...No one's seen me naked before. It feels so strange, I almost curl up, trying to hide the soft fuzz and special place. She leans close again, though she slips off her own panties as she kisses my neck again, finger teasing along my folds before finally slipping inside. And again, it's back to that wild feeling, that uncontrollability. The feeling mounts faster than before, heat rising in my body unexpectady. A tide begins to envelop me, and then my mouth opens, and -

[DISCONTINUITY]

I fall from the incredible hieghts, feeling slightly dizzy, a softness, a fuzzyness floating through my mind as I blink. Or maybe that's the alcohol? I don't even know anymore. I don't reall care.

Rose looks down at me, expectant. I kiss her again, enjoying that wonderful taste as I gently explore her. The firmness of her body is still unexpected, and so is the warmth. Even though a fuzzy sense of sleepiness invades my thoughts, I gently push it away, needing her to feel more. I get the sense I really don't understand what I'm doing. My hands feel clumsy, my fingers wonky. Even so, I work hard, slipping inside her, pushing against her, kissing, licking, my eagerness and desire making up for my lack of skill or knowledge or even talent.

It isn't long, or at least, it doesn't feel long, before she begins to shudder and shake beneath my ministrations, until she closes her eyes, her back arches, and she roars, making me blink but not pause, carrying her through it and slowing as she comes off the feeling, my own eyes fluttering as I realize how tiring it was, and curl up beside and atop her, my head resting atop her soft breasts in their warm valley, my knees pulling up, a hand resting on her belly. So warm...

The last thing I remember is the covers being pulled over us, and a gentle kiss being pressed upon my forehead.
