My name is Charmedfrightened, but everyone calls me Charm.
I am a single and available 'bold woman with a good job, a good home, and good friends.
But I'm already five years old, and despite my good looks, I have no man.

I intend to remedy this.

Will is your best bet for strong children. He says he'll be along soon, but why? Is he in the middle of something? Deep in contemplation?

Head on, in either case.

I head into the lair and Will follows after me.
I don't like it in here. It's cold and drafty, like a cave.

Big Boss is a powerful man, not a 'bold. He controls more than just us 'bolds, too. I pass a Goblin worker heading to see the boss.

It must be something important.

We arrive in the room where the Big Boss is waiting. He seems excited.

>"Oh, Charm, Will, glad you finally showed up. We were about to begin! After many weeks, this is the moment we have waited for!"
He talks about monsters and that big swirly thing behind him but Boss always uses such big words it's hard to understand him. I know he just invited us here so he could stare at me. But my heart belongs to another!

Let's hope that's really all he wants you here for.

On that note, were any of his big words about what your job is in this process? If not, you should ask him, if it's not a huge breach of protocol.

He says he just wants everyone to see this.
Finnie hands him three little dolls.
I hold back a laugh.
Boss plays with dolls.

Three strange little creatures come out of the portal! They're pale and pasty white and all lopsided, but Big Boss and Finnie seem pleased.

The big boobied birdy lady comes in and she seems happy. She says her idea worked good.
Big Boss thinks so too. No more mana, everything is easier to deal with. Now the swirly thing just eats dolls whole, and then little monster things come out. I don't understand it. But she thinks it was a good idea.

Finnie had a good idea the other day, too. She made this thing that breaks a tiny piece off Big Boss's crystal ball and then pokes you in the hand. Now I have a little tiny crystal ball in my finger.
That's how I'm talking to you guys.

It was complicated but Finnie always knows how to explain it good.

These guys will help you with your work.

Suggest several jobs for them to perform. What repetitive manual labor must you now do? Perhaps tilling the fields? Suggest to the Boss that you can be freed up for more useful pursuits by having one of these guys take over with that. You'll look smart for Will, and give yourself more time to win his heart.

I like micro-managing weird units which are obtained in a vague manner. It makes it feel like it's really magical.
So... How did this transition work, exactly?
...But of course, a kobold wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

That's what the birdy lady does. She makes things simpler. That's fine by me, I like things simple.
I don't get a chance to talk to the little wobbly guys, because Finnie and the Boss take them off with the birdy lady to do more planning.

Things sort of wind down and now that I've hunted for the day anyway, there's not much to do. I see Willful is still working in his workshop. He doesn't like being bothered while he's working.

The night is sort of winding down.

Yeah, we all have a crystal in our finger now. Finnie said it was a good way for Big Boss to keep an eye on us and so we could work together.

I could watch Will work all night but I don't think he'd like that.

Did you mention a time and place to Mystery Man? You may have to track him down to get that settled.

Good work on that ghosting potion, by the way... despite your motive. Secret snuggling? How shameful!

That potion was a big mistake. I just wanted to be invisible so I could watch him.
Getting to snuggle Willful was just an unexpected bonus ♥

The Mystery Man is waiting out in the woods where we were earlier. He says we didn't set a time but he's only been there about half an hour anyway.

I should warn you, I think this 'Mystery Man' is the same person we saw earlier who was doing something suspicious in the Boss' lair.
Boss man might not like you going out with him!
Still... one date couldn't hurt. :3

He might be okay now. He freaked out and said he "quit".

What kinds of stories have you been telling him? Stories about Big Boss?

The Mystery Man has brought lots of good food and some alcohol and we have a nice dinner in the evening light. We talk and we tell stories.
We talk about the world and the cities and we talk about my boss and he asks so many questions, eager to know all about me. He seems a little less nervous these days.
It's too bad I can't tell my Boss about him. But it's just as well, Boss might not like him.

Over dinner I ask him what his name is.
He's called Nino.
That's a nice name~
>>
No. 53495 ID: 7eda8b

Tell him your name in turn, if he doesn't know already.

Also, you should consider telling the boss. The shard means he's going to find out sooner or later.

We share a drink and relax beneath a tree.
My heart still races for Will, and I hope someday he'll come around... but Nino is nice too.

I guess there are more options out there than I thought.

Uh oh. Incoming BAD END.

Don't let down your guard. Do you have a ghosting potion? If so, use it after the date to follow him.

He could be a spy. Him telling you his name would be a VERY bad sign then, it could mean he doesn't need his cover anymore and is either planning to kill you or... I dunno.

MOTHER FUCKER, STOP DICKING US AROUND AND GIVE US CONTROL OF MUSCHIO!

I see the legitimacy of your sentiments, but disagree. Last chapter was essentially a large cutscene, but it was flavorful, and gave us insight into Muschio's father, and thus his upbringing, as well as some ties to Finesse. We wouldn't have got that from Muschio. I'd have called it merely an interlude, but so it goes.
This chapter essentially showed us a handful of small events. None of them were really interesting or dynamic enough to drive a chapter, however, so something else needed to be found to do it. Muschio pursuing his goals would have taken far too much attention away from things of this nature. Thus we used a minor character, and focused on her personal concerns, allowing the less dynamic events which needed to happen to form a backdrop. Distractions, from her point of view, though they reveal things which we needed to see.

tl;dr: lrn2interesting story

My apologies. I do see your point. I just hope that the next part in Dive quest sees some action involving a confrontation of the Dealer, and perhaps looking into expanding our domain.
