At the very least they can support double dates. Maybe close-knit swinging, if you're lucky. Actually getting all three to agree to a full blown quadruple relationship is kind of stretching it, though.

Right on, girl! Seriously, if you say "I'd like to drill you" straight to a lady's face, you deserve five across your own.
>I actually liked it and…
...She likes being talked to perverted-like? Nobles have the weirdest tastes.


>Now, tell me, who’s in your bedroom?
>I mean, I did see that weird light if that’s what you’re talking about…
"That light was from a friend who, ah, had to stop some corrupted demon hunters."
>>579657
>a friend came in from out of town and you thought since you have a whole dorm...
"He just recently arrived, and I thought I'd let him stay in my dorm, since it's just me."

My suggestion on what to say if she asks to meet him is He doesn't speak our language, he kinda got into some fights and might not even look so much like a person anymore, then that he might be changing, if she keeps insisting. Of course, if she does, let her know you'll ask if he will be willing to meet with her--He might be a little scared that anybody new is another corrupted person.

>>579647
Cool, looks like her and Arthur might hook up.

No matter what you tell her she's gonna want to meet whoever's in your room. So tell her it's the new player, who is an alien and was wounded by the so-called demon hunters due to its strange appearance. AND SHE CAN'T TELL ANYONE.

Part of me would like to bring Lucrais in on the secret, but I know that it'll be safer for the alien if we keep the number of people who know its location as low as we can to protect against leaks or slip-ups. For now we'll keep this a secret from her. She'll find out eventually and probably be miffed that you kept it from her, but explaining your reason to keep it from her ought to defuse things.

Okay, the best way to explain this away is to link it to Cedric. He often has inscrutable plans and cockamamie ideas so this'll just be another one.

Sigh and tell her that you promised to keep this secret for Cedric, but since she's insisting you'll tell her. The person who came up with you is some performance artist that's part of a secret plan Cedric has. Cedric needed you to sneak him into the Academy and hide him in your room for the night and nobody was to see him. The "bowling ball" is the helmet part of some elaborate costume he brought. Say you have no idea what Cedric is up to; Every time you ask he just says it'll be a surprise. Shrug and say that's Cedric for ya. Then tell her to keep this secret so Cedric doesn't find out you told.

If she asks about the weird light and how you knew to tell her to look that way, tell her it was some illusion magic device Cedric wanted you to try to see if it worked, or an illusion mage that was being auditioned for the plan, whichever is more plausible.

>>579656
>>579659
Why are we bringing up demon hunters and killing cultists and all that?! Dai hasn't shared any of that with Lucrais! It'll just raise even more questions. Questions that we won't have adequate answers to and before you know it Dai'll have to spill all the beans about the alien and us.

>>579657
And she knows Dai's best and only friend is Cedric, so this idea goes right out the window.

Look i think we should just come clean with everything. Trying to hide this kinda shit always backfires in the end, so i think we should just tell her everything.She seems pretty trustworthy anyway. If we lie and she finds out about the alien later she'll probably get pissed.

>At the very least they can support double dates. Maybe close-knit swinging, if you're lucky.
This is a bit more… um… likely but… err…
>Did you put your porn away or is it still out in the open for the alien to see with a causal glance?
Of course I put them away! I’m not stupid.

Pan- oh, right, that whole reading people’s emotions and stuff… you’re right, Nick’s probably great at that.
>Right on, girl! Seriously, if you say "I'd like to drill you" straight to a lady's face, you deserve five across your own.
Indeed, that’s was very ungentlemanly. I have to criticize Arthur about that next time I meet him.
>Part of me would like to bring Lucrais in on the secret, but I know that it'll be safer for the alien if we keep the number of people who know its location as low as we can to protect against leaks or slip-ups.
Right, the less people that knows, the bigger chance that we all make out of this alive.

>...She likes being talked to perverted-like? Nobles have the weirdest tastes.
Wait, you like being talked to like that?
Wha- no, I meant… err… I meant hitting him. It’s something about hitting someone who almost gets off on it that’s… um…
…but you do like to get talked to a bit… dirty?
…Dai, please… and yes, yes I do… just not… in public like that. Now stop changing the subject!
>Okay, the best way to explain this away is to link it to Cedric. He often has inscrutable plans and cockamamie ideas so this'll just be another one.
Um… it’s one of Cedric plans for a prank… it’s going to be a surprise so don’t tell anyone.
A bowling ball?
Err… yes and… you can’t enter my bedroom for a while, alright?
…and what was that weird light?
Oh, that… um… and illusionist, that’s what. It’s all part of the prank.
…Dai… do you know how rare an illusionist is?
Err… well, you s-

It’s not a lie, it-

Oh… um…

>Tell her it's the new player, who is an alien.
Well… you see… um… you know Avatar’s decent?
…that was the light!? This thing!? I… but… that’s… I thought it was just bogus! I thought those “avatars of the gods” was just powerful mages with an ego! I didn’t… I… that’s a god!?
Err… no… it’s… um… it’s an alien. A being from another world near one of the stars in the sky. Um… he’s a bit… lost right now, I believe…
>SHE CAN'T TELL ANYONE.
Are you nuts!? Of course we can’t tell anyone! Those idiot Inquisitors would probably burn us for summoning demons or something! Geez… what have you dragged me into this time, Dai?
Um… Well…
What’s it doing? Pointing at that flower pot? …and now he’s caught a huge fish?
…I’m pretty sure he… err… wants a big flower pot?
And now he’s showing us the dirt?
-♫

Insert Clearly, the cactus is a symbol of idiocy and the wanderer is just pointing out that Dai is an idiot for not kissing Lucrais yet… clearly…

>>579676
I think we need to talk to the gardener. Or just break into his shed.

>let’s not get my hopes up, okay?
Hope is all we have in this mad, mad world full of daemons, cultists, and eldritch gods from beyond the stars. I guess you're right though- you shouldn't push the issue too hard and end up burning bridges.

Something in the earth- THE RUNE OF EARTH! It's trying to talk about the rune of earth!

...well, White did get a quest to retrieve the rune of earth. It's possible this alien also got the same quest, but I don't see how a flowerpot has anything to do with a rune.

...oh, do you have any bathtubs big enough that he could sit in? If you show one to him and he seems to like it, then you'd probably just need to put dirt in it.

Oh, I think it needs a large container filled with dirt to sleep in? Regenerate in? Lay on? I dunno. Maybe it's a plant or a fungus based life-form and needs to root down to heal.

Okay, we have paper and writing instruments here. We can attempt to communicate by drawing instead of resorting to pantomime and clear this up. Dai, get those and draw a large planter in cross-section, the alien above the planter, and a pile of dirt above the alien, with arrows pointing from each downward to show they go together. Or ask Lucrais to draw it if she's better at drawing. Then show it to the alien to see if that's what it wants, and if it isn't then hand it the pen to draw what it wants.

We're gonna need a container big enough for it and the dirt. The grounds keeper might have a large planter that's used for trees and such we could nab. Then we have to get enough dirt into it... This is going to be tough to get up here. That is, unless the alien can teleport it up or stick it in its extra-dimensional storage. I think a visit to the grounds keeper's tower is in order.

Ask Lucrais if she'd help you out here by helping you distract the grounds keeper. Then lead the alien out the window and indicate it should wait on the roof where it can see you, climb down and head over to the grounds keeper's place.

...So the alien might be plant based... And it whistles... Or sings... There have I...? Oh! Dai, the "singing tree" your mother has! It's a real far outside possibility, but maybe it's related to our alien friend here. Couldn't hurt to show the tree to the alien at some point. It'd have to be outside, in the wind, though.

Err… shouldn’t aliens, you know, beings from another world, not be related to anything in our world?

Dai, get those and draw a large planter in cross-section, the alien above the planter, and a pile of dirt above the alien, with arrows pointing from each downward to show they go together.

^♪
Hmm… oh, look, he mimicked the drawing he did of him! Hmm… let’s see… him arrow… that planter you drew… equal… the cactus?
The voices was right! It wants to plant itself!
…wait, what voices?
My thoughts. What I was thinking, that’s what I meant.
>...oh, do you have any bathtubs big enough that he could sit in?
I got one of those iron tubs you watch clothes in the dorms tool closet. Here, check it out.
~♫!!
He looks happy. I think you’re on the right track.
>I think we need to talk to the gardener. Or just break into his shed.
Dammit, how do we get the dirt? The groundskeeper has already gone home for the day by now.
Um… last time I was here he had a bunch of dirt piles outside his “office”. Why not just… you know… grab that?
Hmm… still, it’s going to be quite heavy too… unless… hmmm…
>That is, unless the alien can teleport it up or stick it in its extra-dimensional storage.
Give me that paper, I got something else to I’ll need to draw…

…

~♪~♪ ♫~♪♫!!
Success! We got your bed, mister!
Aww… look how happy he is!
~♪
Um… what’s this? …hmm…
Hey, that’s us standing next to him and his tub!
… and then he’s alone in the tub? And we’re standing in a… cube… right next to each other with some weird symbol over our heads? …err… then two moons turn into a spiky ball?
The moon turn into a sun. He wants to sleep…
But… what’s this drawing with us?

Insert Even the alien is getting into it…_

>>579703
Try to ask him what the symbol means before you agree to it. It's probably something he wants to do as a reward.

Actually I'm wondering if this is about sharing dreams, so he can talk to you properly or straight up teach you the whistle-language.

Won't people know Lucrais didn't sleep in her room? The alien's request risks people thinking you were sleeping together, which would sortof be the case wouldn't it. I'm guessing at this point you'll want to move the alien back into your room instead of loitering out in the hallway.

Is it just me or did the alien heal its arm when you were outside of the room?

The drawing probably means that he needs to go outside to get sunlight; he's a plant after all.

Could you try to describe the symbol?

Aw, the alien looks all tuckered out; It's arms are dangling and even the little lights on its antennas have turned red. Moving that dirt about probably drained the energy reserves of both it and its gear.

I think it might think you two are mates. From what its seen it'd be understandable if it got that notion. It probably thinks this is your home too.

I'm unsure about the meaning of its drawing. It might be indicating that it and its tub 'o dirt need to be outside where the sun can hit them. We think it's plant-like so maybe it needs sunlight, or its gear might be solar powered. Or it might be indicating that it'll pull you two into a room in its extra-dimensional storage for some reason; Maybe to talk to you or show you something. We need some clarification here.

Show the drawing to the alien and tap the cube with both you and Lucrais in it, then make a sweeping gesture to the room around you to try and ask if the cube is the building. If it is then pantomime picking up the tub of dirt and carrying it outside to see if it agrees with that. Then draw a the alien slouching as it is now under the two moons, then one with the sun shining down on it, then it with its arms up under the sun, with an arrow from the first to the second to the third.

If it needs to be outside where it can catch the sun then that's going to be a problem. A alien out on the lawn or up on the roof is going to stand out, to say the least. Is there anywhere up high in the Academy it could go that'd be blocked from view? A tower with a flat top? Maybe we could put something around it to hide it. Screens, perhaps?

Considering that it has extra-dimensional storage, there's a fair chance that the inside of its suit is bigger than the outside. Maybe much bigger. Possibly as big as a ship.

Yanno, Lucrais is taking meeting an alien much better than you'd expect most people would; She's even going "aww" over how happy it is. You could point that out to her and comment that most of her peers would have freaked out at the sight of such a creature while she's taking it remarkably well.

Hey, out of curiosity ask Lucrais if she was the noblewoman Victoria mentioned that came here six months ago wanting to look for the catacombs under the Academy. The pool of noblewomen that would be interested in such ancient architecture is likely small, so there's a good chance Lucrais was the one. And if she was ask if she found the entrance.

And since our alien friend doesn't understand what you two are saying, you could ask Lucrais what she was going to suggest that she considered "a bit embarrassing," back when she thought Cedric was in your room.

Because our language lacks decent gender-less pronouns for people I think we should choose a gender pronoun for the alien along with a name to make things a bit easier and less confusing when speaking about it. Also choosing a name will make it somewhat safer to talk about it while in public. My vote is for male, with "Hugo" as its name. "Hugo" wouldn't be an odd name in this area, would it?

Dai, you said that harems only worked for mantis gals, right? Well, what if instead of trying to make a harem for yourself you worked to make one for Lucrais? One with those you're both attracted to in it. Arthur would be easy, but I don't think you could get Atena in... That is, unless she and Lucrais are secretly bi... Oh, man, if they were... Imagine those two and their wondrous derrières together. It'd be glorious~

heh, maybe the symbol is the little guy's symbol of love, you know like a heart or something. But really with seeing it or you giving us more details I really don't have clue to what it means.

But yeah, any rooms here in the dorms where the sun would hit the guy first thing in the morning, might as well leave him there. Oh and is Lucrais staying here for the night or going home? Truth be told I kinda thought she'd have left by now.

>>579751
>heh, maybe the symbol is the little guy's symbol of love, you know like a heart or something.
It could also possibility represent friendship, family, guardians, or a whole plethora of other terms. Unfortunately, I don't think we have too much time to try and clarify what it means, since it seems to be quite exhausted.

Does your room face the rising sun? If so, placing the "Dirt bed" in view of the window should help it regenerate, and as unusual as it might seem to sleep with somebody else in the room, I'm sure you can manage.
...If you room does NOT face the rising sun, though, then I'm afraid I don't know what to suggest. Might need to borrow a bunch of mirrors and create a chain of them to reflect the sunlight into your room. If anybody asks, you're trying to set up a little mini-garden in your room.

The, uh, problem is if he wants Lucrais to be there too.

I… wait… where did the whole sharing dreams come from? I mean… I can’t really… um…

Hmm… when I pointed at the symbol it drew… me plus you plus symbol equal… oval with dots?
I think it’s an egg…
>Heh, maybe the symbol is the little guy's symbol of love, you know like a heart or something.
It’s a symbol for love! That’s it! It thinks we’re a couple!
Huh… it must have figured out that we were different gender of the same species.
>Draw a the alien slouching as it is now under the two moons, then one with the sun shining down on it, then it with its arms up under the sun, with an arrow from the first to the second to the third.

…and is that a… lantern? Hmm…
>Show the drawing to the alien and tap the cube with both you and Lucrais in it, then make a sweeping gesture to the room around you to try and ask if the cube is the building.
Hmm… pointing at the cube made it… walk over to the game room door?
I think it wants you to show it around.
Oh, right, it hasn’t seen this place yet.
…
-and this room leads out to the corridor and should remain closed.
…why are you even talking to it? It can’t understand you.
I dunno. It just feels easier to show how if you say it out laud… see, he understands. He can use all the doors but this one. Now, let’s see what he says when I point at the cube again…
Hmm? He points at your bedroom and game room?
How about the cube he drew around himself? …then he points at the empty dorm room that has a window?
I get it! He wants so privacy when he sleeps! …or, he wants to give us privacy when we sleep. Either way we should move his bed into the empty room and see what he says.

>Yanno, Lucrais is taking meeting an alien much better than you'd expect most people would; She's even going "aww" over how happy it is. You could point that out to her and comment that most of her peers would have freaked out at the sight of such a creature while she's taking it remarkably well.
There, now it got its own room to sleep in… err… actually, I’m impressed that you are taking this all rather well. I mean, most people would freak out.

Oh, it was nothing.
>Because our language lacks decent gender-less pronouns for people I think we should choose a gender pronoun for the alien along with a name to make things a bit easier and less confusing when speaking about it.

Hmm…

>Hey, out of curiosity ask Lucrais if she was the noblewoman Victoria mentioned that came here six months ago wanting to look for the catacombs under the Academy.
Err… how did you know I did that?

>And if she was ask if she found the entrance.
Found it? It’s not really a secret, you know. It’s out in the tower where the groundskeeper is staying. But… unless you like to look at some interesting door arcs and wall carvings, there’s not much down there.
>Won't people know Lucrais didn't sleep in her room?
When did you need to get home again?
Eleven. Otherwise mom will kill me. It’s only seven so we got plenty of time.

>And since our alien friend doesn't understand what you two are saying, you could ask Lucrais what she was going to suggest that she considered "a bit embarrassing," back when she thought Cedric was in your room.

Whatever I say?
Whatever you say. I am at your command. Oh, please punish me master…
Hmm… whatever I say… hehe…

Insert In before lewd stuff_

Lookit that blush on her, she's really excited for this! I figure you might have some good thoughts, I mean you've always wanted to punish her for how she's acted towards you, enjoy yourself, and try and make sure she enjoys it too.

You should get her to dance, doesn't need to be anything lewd, but something to get that abdomen shaking, I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it that way.

She's got a rebellious and a sadomasochistic streak. Oh Dai, what have our foolish ambitions wrought?

I hardly think we should be encouraging this kind of behavior, but I can't bring myself to tell you not to do it. Just, don't let the little head do the thinking for the big head, okay?

Well, she wants something more "plebeian," but as a gentleman I suppose you can't be going overboard on it. Enjoy the time, get her to wear something revealing (Something a little to small for her, for example), maybe do a dance, but don't get physical with her.

...And don't tell Atena about this.

Oh, my~ Aggressive and dominant in public, submissive in private. Dai, you know what this means? Lucrais feels safe here and in front of you. She trusts you'll never reveal this. So don't ever betray that trust in the slightest or she'll rip you apart, okay. And don't worry about us; We'll never even hint of this to anybody.

You don't want any possible interruptions, so lock the door to the corridor and barricade it. Actually, tell your new 'slave' to do that for you. And tack a bedsheet over your bedroom window as well.

Now, the trick here is teasing her with what she wants while denying almost all of it to her. And what she wants is you. You in her. You touching her. You naked before her. But she gets only the barest minimum, if that. She's here for your pleasure, not hers. Get yourself into that mindset, Dai. And don't forget to talk dirty to her as much as you can. Get your lewd imagination runnin'.

To start, your new slave is filthy~ She needs to wash herself off. Order her into the showers and to slowly strip, but she is not to look at you at all without your permission. Order her to shower, washing everywhere, slowly and with care.

Then it's your turn to wash, but she doesn't get any of the show she gave you. Order her to turn around, close her eyes and keep them that way, then start noisily taking your clothes off. When you get to cleaning your feet order her to get her face down to the floor, to keep looking at it and crawl over to wash your feet. She is not to even glance up while doing so. She doesn't get to get back up until you're dry and clothed. (Now would be the time to put that extra padding in your abdomen cover and loosen it as well.) Once you're done, she gets just her boots back; Don't want those clean feet dirtied now.

Order her to do some light cleaning around the dorm, with plenty of lewd positions, before leading her to your bedroom. You get to lie on the bed while she takes those spare bed frames down and arranges them into platforms and surfaces for her to perform for you. Direct her in putting on a show for you, with seductive poses and dances and such.

This is where you might find out if she has a thing for women too. Get your filthy imagination going and start describing in detail to her the lewd things you'd have her do in front of you. Then what you'd have her do with another guy. Then another gal. Then all of them together. Then tell her to tell you honestly how much each of them gets her hot.

And pulling away from the lewd for a moment: How about the name "Douglas," after the fir tree, for the alien?

That enough lewd for ya?

An hour and a half? That's kindof a long time. I honestly don't know what you can do to fill that time without manual labor being involved... oh! She could give you a manicure or something like that. Or uh, tell you stories, feed you grapes or whatever. She must be fairly well-read. Or heck she could read a book to you, while making special voices for every character.

OOOHHH have her paint your figurines! Hers are better painted than yours!

Do not take advantage of a drunk lady.

Erg..Damnit, as said don't take advantage of a drunk lady! Nothing is worth the shame and guilt and the issues may be done after!

>>579811
>>579832
Yeah, it would be another story if she was sober and like this, but even then you couldn't exactly cheat on Atena. Your mind kept bringing that up, despite everything else you were thinking of. That one, exact, statement.
Not to mention there's no way Atena would fail to notice that Lucrais has a clutch of eggs/hatchlings with your features.

Listen, I would have wholeheartedly agreed to have her do some lightly lewd things, but it's too late now, she's drunk. Maybe massages, if you think you could do that with mantis arms, but my main suggestion, as a lewdless soul (or squid?), is that you ask her to share the story of her childhood with you, no secrets.

Is your mind really saying yes? Do you really think it's good idea, and not something you just really want to do?

It's going to take a heroic effort to say no to that, but if she's really that drunk, that means things will only blow up later. She might not be as stuck up as you first thought, but she's definitely not normally this, uh, open. Taking advantage of her drunken state would mean betraying her trust.

Disengage yourself from her... embrace, and explain that no matter how much you like the idea, It's still a bad one.

Although if she starts to protest or keeps trying to talk dirty, I have no objections to kissing her to shut her up. Remember, you're in charge here; don't let it get out of hand. Make it a good one.

A cockblock like this is definitely going to end poorly, but to take advantage of someone like this would reflect very poorly on your character.

We may be perverted, lewd, pushy squids, but we do have some standards to try and keep our charges from doing something they may regret for the rest of their lives. Even if you enjoy the other girl or thoughts of her , her being completely at your mercy while drunk is just in poor taste as she basically chugged it down apparently.

...She's drunk. *sigh* Dammit... ...Dai, don't do it. As much as you ache to, don't do it. You will feel much shame and guilt afterwards for taking advantage of Lucrais while she's inebriated. And once Lucrais sobers up there's a decent chance she'll really regret what she did; She might even hate you for taking advantage. You have to pass, Dai. Sorry, but the odds are too great things will go bad if you don't.

When you turn Lucrais down give her an explanation why so she doesn't get as upset at you. Say that you wanted to so badly, but you couldn't 'cause she's really drunk and you don't know how if it's the alcohol talking or not. If she wasn't drunk you'd have gone for it, but as it is you like her too much to have her do things she may really regret once she sobers up. And you're also afraid she'll hate you afterwards for taking advantage of her drunken state.

Ask her why she knocked back an entire bottle of wine while you were out. Was it because she lost at Warstorm?

And it wouldn't have been cheating on Atena if Lucrais wasn't drunk and you'd gone through with things. You haven't even had a single date with Atena, so you don't have a relationship to cheat on yet. This could have been just a one-time thing with Lucrais. Now, if you'd continued doing such things with her while seeing Atena, then it'd be cheating.

>>579855
Since when does oral sex lead to hatchlings? 'Cause that was all that Lucrais was proposing. Though, I suppose in the heat of the moment it could have gotten out of hand and they'd have went all the way. Guess that's another reason for Dai not to go for it.

Insert Twenty questions_

Ask her how she would feel with other men/women in the relationship, don't forget to mention she could watch male on male.

>>579940
If we do slip in a couple of lewd questions, make sure to hide them between non-lewd ones. She's still present in mind enough to recognize lewdness.

*Were you interested in Warstorm only because I played it?
*Would you be interested in some small private gatherings to play with other people besides just me?
*Did you ever believe you could draw people together as your own personal servants?
*[If yes]Did you ever consider a Harem?
*Did you enjoy our game simply because it was with me, or were there other reasons?

...Dang. She must be really damn jealous of you if it held back that much infatuation. I hope we can work to reduce it somehow.

Ask if she'd prefer answering your questions to the brickwork or facing you. If it's to your face tell her to turn around.

What are the things about you that she's so jealous of? Is it the freedom you have to do the nerdy things you want? That you got into the Academy and she didn't? Maybe you could tell her something you're jealous she has, like how easy she moves in social circles.

Besides what she's told you already, what nerdy (or other) things has she wanted to do but felt she couldn't because of her social station? Maybe write them down so you could arrange for her to do them in secret.

Why didn't she approach you when she first developed a crush on you? You know you are rather oblivious to romantic advances, but she could have gotten the same book as you were reading at the time as a common thing to talk about or brought up Warstorm or something. Was she as jealous back then as now?

How much alcohol does she usually drink? Was this an unusually large amount? We'd like an idea if she's a lush or on the road to it.

What does she think she would have suggested if she hadn't finished off that second bottle of wine?

Has she ever thought about doing 'it' with a woman, and if so how interested was she in it?

Is the submissive thing a kink of hers or was it something she came up with 'cause she thought you'd like it?

I'd figure she has fantasized about a harem before, so who, besides you, has she imagined in it? Would she ever consider an 'unusual' harem? What would she say if you told her you want both her and Atena and maybe Arthur too? Is it foolish to believe it could happen?

She's obviously had a thing for you for a long time, Dai; This is just the wine bringing it out. I'd say give her what you both want, (maybe toned down a little bit,) but with the clear stipulation that you two will treat it as a no-strings-attached, one-time only thing. You don't know what the future holds, so it may or may not continue in any way. You'll just have to see.

Oh, and here's something if you ever need some supremely un-sexy thoughts to surely get your libido in check; JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT IT NOW: Imagine what what's left of Thyna's abdomen looks like naked and the hideous things that must have been done to make it that way. That ought to send your dick retreating so fast it'll 'clonk' against your top cover.

>>579959
>Did you ever believe you could draw people together as your own personal servants?
Did you word that right? It sounds more like asking if she could attract servants in the maid and butler sense.

what were her thoughts when her parents told her about the marriage?

What started your interests in history?

What do you really want to do with your life.

and Daithi, don't forget to thank her for telling you these things. I mean she is telling you (an abridged version sure but still) her life story.

>M-my mind is really perverted, alright!?
You're also damn smart, and can undoubtedly see the consequences of saying 'yes' in this situation.

>And the bottle over there?
So she drank two bottles of wine. You may want to ask if she normally drinks, and how much. 'so it wouldn't go bad' is a lousy excuse.

Ask why she decided to push you away if she liked you and was set to be married to you. How did that jealousy form against of you, of all people? What did she expect would happen after you went along with her 'suggestions'? and what does she expect will happen now? Try to shoot down any more advances.

Well then, turn around?
>What are the things about you that she's so jealous of? Is it the freedom you have to do the nerdy things you want? That you got into the Academy and she didn't?
Your freedom… your cadet status… your mother and father…

>Maybe you could tell her something you're jealous she has, like how easy she moves in social circles.
Really?
I’m not… err… really good at making friends. Sure, I play some WarStorm and Q&Q with people but I’ve never actually hung out with them in any other setting.
Hmm… well, most of the people I know are a bit trite, sure… but… they are friends…

Dai, if I’m going to play, then I’ll play as myself, no one else… but… If you can get people that wouldn’t recognize my family linage…

>Has she ever thought about doing 'it' with a woman, and if so how interested was she in it?

>Ask why she decided to push you away if she liked you and was set to be married to you.
I was jealous… and stupid… and mad because I didn’t get to… decide myself who I am to wed… and… you didn’t seem interested in me at all…
>What started your interests in history?
I don’t know. I can’t really remember.
>What do you really want to do with your life.
How many questions are you going to ask!?
Um… a lot? Now answer the question.
…personally, I wanted to be a historian but… mother said that being a Scholar is something for males, not noble females like me. I’m supposed to have some “real” career, not being some low paid egghead.

>Why didn't she approach you when she first developed a crush on you?
…because I’m a coward… and… I’m afraid of my mother, alright?
>Did you ever consider a Harem?
…Dai… I’m a female Mantis. I will have a harem even if I like it or not.
>I'd figure she has fantasized about a harem before, so who, besides you, has she imagined in it?
…I… well… several people but… not… no one that’s really probable or was in it for long.
>What would she say if you told her you want both her and Atena and maybe Arthur too? Is it foolish to believe it could happen?
…Dai, I don’t even know Atena and Arthur. Besides, it’s my mother who decides whom I will marry, not me. So it’s foolish, yes… but… Atena did have some really nice hips…
*Raises eyebrow*
Oh, shut it. You didn’t hear that.
>Don't forget to mention she could watch male on male.

Unless of course the advance is getting you and Atena into a threesome with her, in which case tell her that while you may be perverted enough to be alright with that, you aren't going to be the one to ask Atena.

Entire post spoilered because update happened.

>>580030
Haha, aren't you glad you didn't start anything lewd with her, now? Arthur would've walked in on it. Let him in. I think we should see how well they get along outside of flirting. We can also have Arthur lecture her on the subject of abusing alcohol. Then tomorrow after the date with Atena we can maybe introduce them to eachother as well. I'm not saying we should push them together as a harem. Everyone being friends is the main objective. If everyone in the group is attracted to eachother and wouldn't get jealous or whatever then hey, a harem could work too.

...Think it would be a good idea to bring Lucrais with if Aurthur doesn't mind? I mean as long as it's just the two of you in the same room one or both of you are keep going to be tempted to do things so maybe a distraction might help. Also it might be a good thing just to have Lucraist move around and make some friends that her mother didn't force her to meet. That and I kinda want to make sure we can lead Aurthur away from the alien because I'd rather not deal with that now if I can help it.

>>580038
Agreed. Maybe use the rest of the time with Lucrais (we only used 30 minutes and have an hour left, right?) to enjoy the time as a group of friends. Just make sure you introduce them proper, as though you had no idea they had already met.

That's important enough to merit repeating: Don't let Arthur know Lucrais told you about their meeting.

>>580038
>>580045
I too agree. See if they can be friends, then see if they could be more than friends. Then if it looks like that's not going to happen you and they still can be friends. Though now I regret we brought up the harem thing to Lu. She's going to be thinking you're trying to get her to be friends with Arthur for that.

When you go to open the door, make sure to only open it a crack, block it with a foot and ask Arthur to discreetly tell you the secret phrase before you open. He knew about the tea and crumpets so it's highly unlikely he's a shapestealer, but better to be safe about such things, right?

With the helplessness Lu feels about the direction of her life and with the way her mother feels about her it's understandable that Lu's turned to drink. Doesn't excuse it, but it does explain it.

>THAT’S REAL EASY WHEN YOU SAY IT DIRECLY INTO MY MIND, YOU… YOU… you prick!
Eeep! Sorry, Dai! We sometimes forget that our messages drop into your mind whole or sometimes in disordered sections; That it's not like when someone speaks to you and you can hear something bad coming and filter it. ...And then some of us just throw out ideas as soon as they come. Bit like having Cedrics in your mind, that. ...Still, it was quite effective at killing your libido, wasn't it?

>…personally, I wanted to be a historian but…
She could still pursue that as a hobby once she's situated in her career and wealthy enough to support it. She just has to work hard and suffer through to make it happen. She could also be a patron to support other historians' work. It's not like there isn't precedent for the upper class to do such things.

>I would have swallo-
God dammit woman I meant AFTER that. When you sober up and realize what you said, did, or consented to, if your mother finds out and becomes even crueler and more restrictive, and how the both of you would think of each other. You're already having a whole lot of consequences for your actions right now, and that was a bet over a game of WarStorm.

>mother said that being a Scholar is something for males, not noble females like me.
What about discovering tombs? or owning a museum? If you can BS all the right reasons for your actions, your mother might be alright with it. Why are you so afraid of her, anyway?

>Dai, I don’t even know Atena and Arthur.
Well would you like to? Arthur's a bit rough around the edges, But his heart's in the right place. I think Lu would get along well with Atena too; Hell, Atena could help Lucrais figure out to enter the field she wants to.

More the marry, yes? Also, how should I separate such a cute couple, yes?
Err… we aren’t…
Hmm, but you… well, sorry for assumption then, yes? So, what brings a lady out here if not boyfriend?
>Maybe use the rest of the time with Lucrais (we only used 30 minutes and have an hour left, right?) to enjoy the time as a group of friends.
Well, We were playing a game called WarStorm… and… err…
Ah, yes, I’ve seen it. I’ve never had the time or money with it, but look very interesting. Who won game?
Oh, it was a clo-
Dai totally kicked my butt and own me for the next hour.
L-Lucrais…
Ah, alcohol… I see Dai is a gentleman not to do deed… hmmm… at least… when you say own you mean bet for command, yes?
Err… yes, she has to do anything I say for the next hour.
…err…
Oh… maybe we can have some… fun then? …wait, didn’t mean in lewt way.
Lewd.
Lewd way. Not lewd way… no… mean like… have fun like… how you say… um… non lewd way?
Um… didn’t you have tea an-
Tea and crumpets can wait. We got only one hour to have fun here, right?
Wait… I’m not sure I’m co-
Oh, don’t worry… I won’t say anything you don’t want to. We three have fun, yes? Learn each other, yes?

Right… friends is the first step.
>I kinda want to make sure we can lead Aurthur away from the alien because I'd rather not deal with that now if I can help it.
…oh, right, the alien! I almost forgot about him! …I hope he’s sleeping well or… whatever he does.

Insert Fun times with Arthur_

>>580118
Hmm. Yeah, I bet Arthur knows some fun non-sexual things to do. He has been reformed, hasn't he?

Well, I think it's safe to say Arthur will be more than willing to be in Lucrais's harem when the time comes.
And on that note, I think Stars and Tower have both become priority pieces for us, when the time comes for that, too.
Just something to keep in mind for the future.

Well expanding someones social circle of friends is certainly a good thing for now.

So, uh. Non-lewd but fun things to do as three... All I can think of is cards. But getting to know each other, too? No idea what he means, Daithi.

>>580118
Introduction to Q & Q maybe?

>>580157
well if you do this just play a rules light game and you can DM. or is it QM? I mean if nether of them have played before I don't think an hour and a half is enough time to cram the rules down there throat and play a quick game.

You could also ask Aurthur what he thought would be a non-lewd fun thing to do would be. Hey we're getting to know people tonight, might as well keep on keeping on.

Why not?

Whaddya have in mind, party games, cards, or what?

>>580157
Oh, right, Q&Q. How a person sets up their character would tell a lot about them, huh.
>>580168
>DM. or is it QM?
GM. Game Master. Not Dungeon Master or Quarter Master (The latter because that's a person who takes care of all of the supplies, not a person in charge of a world), but Game Master.
But, uh, yeah, let's ask Arthur what his plans were first.

Well, that sounds okay, but still ask him what you're going to be doing before agreeing.

Tell Arthur that while you do have command of Lu for about an hour, she doesn't have to leave for home until half past ten so there's no huge rush. Well, unless it isn't fun for her, but you don't want to force her to do un-fun things

Since Arthur is interested in Warstorm you could offer to loan him your rulebook so he can read up on it. And if he wants to play a match Lu would be a good opponent. That'll give her someone to play against at her skill level. You'd have to let Arthur borrow your units to play, though. You okay with that?

Ask Arthur how long he estimates the Inquisition is going to be here and how disruptive are they going to be to the routine of the Academy.

Going by Arthur's grasp of the Amunian language I wonder just how long it's been since he came out of the barbarian wastes. ...Actually, now that I think about it, shouldn't he have a much better grasp of the language by now? He has to have lived in Amun long enough to get to the point he could enter Inquisitor school and graduate. So he ought to be better with the language then exhibited here. Hmmm... Perhaps he's playing up his accent and manner of speaking for some reason. Maybe so people underestimate him? I dunno.

>>580157
>>580168
I very much doubt Arthur is thinking of Q&Q, and even if he is we don't have enough players or time. Taking one person out to GM leaves only two players and you really need at least three to play; Preferably four or five for a decent game. With the time constraints it's just not going to happen.

However, Dai could ask Arthur if he knows about Q&Q. Then he can tell him about it if he doesn't and ask if he'd be interested in joining Dai's Q&Q group.

>>580196
"QM" can also mean "Quest Master," another name for a Dungeon Master or Game Master that some RPG systems use.

>Well, I think it's safe to say Arthur will be more than willing to be in Lucrais's harem when the time comes.
Arthur strikes me as someone who would be willing for most things… considering his background…
>Introduction to Q & Q maybe?
Um… I dunno… we’re only three and… well, we don’t have that much time…
>You can DM. or is it QM?
It’s either GM or QM… as in Game Master or Quest Master.

>However, Dai could ask Arthur if he knows about Q&Q.
Oh, Q&Q. I used to play a lot before I became Inquisitor, yes? But… we are few and have little time, yes? Maybe if we find some more and decide on time then play, yes?
>Tell Arthur that while you do have command of Lu for about an hour, she doesn't have to leave for home until half past ten so there's no huge rush.
Ah, then no rush, no? We have tea and crumpets later!
>Since Arthur is interested in Warstorm you could offer to loan him your rulebook so he can read up on it.
As I said, I do not have the coin or time to really play it.
You can always borrow my army for a game if you want.
That would be fun, yes, but I don’t expect you will lend me your army every time, no?
>Ask Arthur how long he estimates the Inquisition is going to be here and how disruptive are they going to be to the routine of the Academy.
Few days, yes? Also, only thing they will disturb is corridor by my lab and Archives. Unless something else happens, yes?
>Going by Arthur's grasp of the Amunian language I wonder just how long it's been since he came out of the barbarian wastes.
Oh, I’ve been here two and half year now. Of course, most of first year I spoke… how you say… original tongue, yes?

>But, uh, yeah, let's ask Arthur what his plans were first.
Oh, we are going to need be quick for this, but oh how fun it will be. Come, me and Lu will need new clothes for plan.
…wait, what plan?

…

I know you’re out here somewhere, you lizard bastards! You can’t hi-
*Clonk!*
I… oh… oh god, w-wha-
T-that’s… that’s… I think I’m going to puke!
Quickly, let’s get out of here!
HA! This is the most fun I have had in ages!
Um… I feel a bit bad for starting a prank war, though…
Dammit, they are on the roof! That’s it! Let’s go get a bunch of buckets from the stables and we’ll fill up the whole damn male lizard dorm with this… this shit!

[Holy shit! Level up! You’re the man now, doll! Please choose two new pawns for your party.]
[Remember, you can always unclaim old pawns every 24 hours! You can also try and claim pawns owned by other players if you so wish.]
[The High Priestess: Veteran Lord Commander, loving mother.] (Claimed by you)
[The Hierophant: Veteran Inquisitor, loving father.] (Claimed by Purple)
[The Chariot: Captain of the guard, cougar with some really nice hips. (Also, you got a date tomorrow with her, you stud.)]
[Strength: Saint Nickolas of fury! (Can also detect Daemonic presences)] (Claimed by you)
[The Hermit: High Commander, Mentor.]
[The Tower: Well-connected noble woman, well-read historian and got a real nice tush.]
[The Star: Novice Inquisitor, expert daemonologist… and if we look at the pattern with the others I’m guessing he probably got a cute butt or something…]
[The Empress: ???] (Claimed by Black)
[The Hanged Man: Daemoness of Envy, Destroyer of worlds, head of the book club.] (Claimed by the woman in green.)
[Choose wisely, as there are four other players in the area looking for pawns!]

We need someone with some strength now as we cannot rely just on our king to do all the major physical activities on his own, The Chariot should fulfill that duty. Or The Hermit.

>>580330
Chariot does sound good, especially since she apparently already knows about us? As for our second pawn, I don't know if we should go for The Star or The Tower. The only claimed pawn I think would be useful is the Hierophant, and I don't exactly feel like making enemies with purple at the moment.

>>580332

We could claim the Star as well, he is strong, knowledgeable, and is good with our current foe.

Another player? There used to only be two before Purple came out of nowhere.

Claim the Chariot and the Star.

>>580336
>There used to only be two before Purple came out of nowhere
Including or excluding us?
White, Teal, Black, Purple, Personcaratastaru... The new one who's name would be unbelievably long in our language. Should we just call them yellow? It's got yellow stripes on its armor. But, yeah, before Purple was just White, Black, and us (Teal).

...So, wait, who's the Lady in Green?

>>580339
It said four other players, so I'm assuming excluding. I'm not sure the Avatar counts as a player. The Lady in Green is Libby the bound demon.

>>You can also try and claim pawns owned by other players if you so wish.
In that case let's go with The Tower and then try to steal The Empress, even if we fail taking The Empress we might learn something from trying.

>>580336
>>580339
No, no, no. The last time the two others who could take pawns were White and Purple. White told us she took upgrades instead of pawns, and Purple claimed The Hierophant (Cathal) and possibly Reversed Sun if he wasn't already Purple's king. That accounts for the two others. So now the four out there who could take pawns are White, Purple, (most likely) Black, and an unknown player.

The unknown might be the alien, but it being an avatar might prevent it taking pawns. The unknown could be The Woman in Green, but I have a feeling she can't hold more than one piece at a time. So the most likely option is another player has entered the area.

We're forgetting one thing: Who knows where the alien is. If we're to keep control over that knowledge we have to choose Atena and Lucrais. Otherwise if another player takes one of them and they show up at Dai's dorm wanting to see it the cat'll be out of the bag.

I vote for The Chariot and The Tower. Atena, in addition to being good in a fight, has command over the city guard. That'll likely prove useful to us. And Lucrais' connections in high society will give us an ear in there and may help us figure out if any of them are acting strangely, which might indicate shapestealer replacement or Black's involvement. Lu also knows her history, so that might be handy when it comes to finding stuff about the Vault.

I can only hope that Purple follows his trend of claiming Inquisitors and The Star is taken by him. It's not ideal, but he's at least known to us and isn't hostile. Yet. If his goals turn out to be misguided and he can't be swayed then we'll try to seize The Star by force. And if The Star is taken by one who's not Purple, then we will for sure try to take him back.

I wonder how The Empress got on the list even though we haven't encountered her yet. Was just Purple speaking of her enough? Or did we pass her at some point and forgot to scan her? That would mean she's in the area and not the Amun empress.

Also, why would The Hanged Man be available for us to attempt to take? Seizing her would cut off the daemonic magic keeping her alive, leaving us with a corpse. Unless... Unless whoever's body The Woman in Green possessed her was alive at the time and is still in there. I think we're going to have to ask Libby some questions about that.

The Chariot and The Star.

>>580327
The Tower knows where the Vault is. I say we claim her to keep our secrets safe. The Chariot is well connected so she's my second choice.

>>580370
Uh, Lucrais (The Tower) doesn't know where the Vault is. She knows where the catacombs under the Academy are but that's no secret, and we don't know if the catacombs are connected in any way with the Vault. And The Chariot (Atena) no doubt has connections as captain of the guard, but not the kind that The Tower (Lucrais) has. However, they both know that Dai is hiding the alien in his dorm, so claiming them would keep that secret safe so we can keep it under control and share it with only those we want.

>>580375
I thought the tower entrance wasn't well known? Keeping the alien secret though, that's a better reason.

The Chariot and The Tower.

3 reason for this.
1) Both have good connections that could greatly help us
2) Both have useful skill that we will need at one point or another, like knowing how to fight and knowing useful history that can greatly help us cut down on searching for clues
3) Both know about the Alien and the longer we can keep him hidden from potential threats the better. and
4) Daithi has a date with both of them coming up, tomorrow with the caption and the day after with Lucrais and I for one don't like mixing business with pleasure.

>>580384
4 I meant to say 4 reasons

>>580349
>I can only hope that Purple follows his trend of claiming Inquisitors and The Star is taken by him.
May as well send him a message, then, if we don't take The Star, just so he knows who specifically to take.
>>580361
>Or did we pass her at some point and forgot to scan her? That would mean she's in the area and not the Amun empress.
That's something we should definitely ask purple about.
[Message to Purple: The Empress is on our list, but we haven't met her. Did you connect her, or is the Tarot Empress somebody else? Black has control of her either way.]
{IF The Star isn't taken}[Continuation to Purple: If you get the chance, try and grab The Star. He's a member of the inquisition and a valuable ally, but out of our reach just now.]
What I mean by out of our reach is that if we grab The Tower and The Chariot, we won't have another claim voucher. Included continuation because at the time of posting I read four votes for The Star, six for The Tower, and eight for The Chariot.

>>580404
You may want to go back and recount, double-checking for IDs as you do, 'cause at this time I count seven for The Chariot, four for The Tower, three for The Star, and one "The Star or The Tower" from >>580332 which could go either way. So at the moment it's either a tie or it goes to The Tower. Hey, ca0da5! Get off the fence and pick one.

Definitly the Tower. Otherwise it could end very badly, should soneone corrupted claim her. I am ok with everything else otherwise.

>>580406
Uh, actually that is me... My ID changes frequently, that's why I have a double hash nametag. I'll jump "off the fence" and go for Tower instead of Star.

Perhaps Dai would like to help pick? or even make one of the choices himself? Anyone that becomes a part of this is going to end up pretty close..

>>580411
Ah, sorry. Got tunnel vision on the IDs and didn't think to look for hash names first.

The Star for that sweet, sweet Demonology, and the Tower because if anyone else gets Lucrais, we will be put in a Very Bad Place.

Let's not send purple any messages. He sounds unstable at the very least, and his 'manipulator' status makes me very uneasy. He could be the force behind, or in a similar situation to, those lunatics we were fighting.

Nice one, yes?
Oh, dammit, you’re going to get revenge for that dance I made you do, won’t you?

Wait, we said no lewd stuff!
Kissing isn’t lewd!
I have to agree with Lu, kissing isn’t lewd. So get your well-polished mandibles over here, cutie~

(Current suggested names: Perry(Male)(As in percent %), Hugo(Male), Luke(Male), Douglas(Male)(as in the fir tree) or Rose(Female).)

Insert Are you a boy or a girl?_

I like perry!

Also pay up Dai, a bets a bet afterall.

For a name: Rose is nice. Eventually she may learn to understand us, so a pun name might go over poorly.

And for purple: we should send the message regarding the Empress, but probably shouldnt offer up the Star.

If anything, maybe we should trade The Strength for the Hierophant. Having both of Dai's parents is a better long-term move I think. Dai's Dad is obviously chafing under Purple, while Fury has temperance, wisdom, and a talent that might keep Purple from going full witch-hunt. He's awesome for sure, but if he can reign in Purple's enthusiasm, he'll stay an ally and likely cement Purple as one.

And to Dai: You're with friends. You can give the kiss a try if you want to. I seriously doubt they'll force it. After all you have what amounts to giant teeth where he has warm, soft, slightly scaly flesh. If he has a lick of sense he'll be gentle~

Man up and plant one on Arthur. You know you want to.

As for the avatar, I like Hugo. It's be fitting to draw a name from science fiction.

Well, Dai, a bet's a bet, so pay up. Consider this an opportunity to practice for when you kiss Atena. I figure you've never kissed anybody romantically before, let alone a lizard, and you have a willing teacher here so may as well take advantage and learn.

Admit you've never kissed anybody before; You know it in theory, but have no practice. Ask Arthur if he'd give you some quick instruction as well as practice in how to do it right; Like, how to deal with the height difference and how should you handle your tongue? Start with the basics then move on to the more... Passionate options. See just how much you can make Lu blush.

So, did you enjoy the sight of Lu in a commander's uniform? I'd imagine it wasn't easy to find an abdomen cover in her size. Or was she not able to and she had to squeeze into one too small?

>Oh, dammit, you’re going to get revenge for that dance I made you do, won’t you?
Oh? What kind of dance was it? I hope it was a sexy one~

Also, we leveled up again. We could pick two more people so we chose Atena and Lucrais; We'll be able to speak with them come tomorrow morning. We wish we could have picked Arthur too but we would have had to release Ceana or Nick to do so and who knows who would have picked them. Oh, and two more players have entered the area; One is most likely Black and the other is unknown. So there are at least four other players around now.

Oh! Dai, pull yourself away from Arthur for a moment and check the clock. We can't read it well from our point of view, so it's either nearly time for Lu to leave or well past it.

[Scan The Star] Lets see if he's been claimed by anybody. [Scan The Tower] And lets see just how hot and bothered Lu is.

I say we send the the first message to Purple now, but change it. [Message to Purple: '[The Empress: ???] (Claimed by Black)' showed on our level up list of claimable pawns and we do not know how it got there. As far as we know we haven't encountered The Empress yet. Could one of our pawns have passed near her while our focus was elsewhere and that's where it came from? Well, wherever it came from we have to assume Black is in the area. Have you seen any of his pawns yet?]

Lets also ask White about The Empress and see if she can help us with The Star as well: [Message to White: '[The Empress: ???] (Claimed by Black)' showed on our level up list of claimable pawns and we do not know how it got there. As far as we know we haven't encountered The Empress yet. Could one of our pawns have passed near her while our focus was elsewhere and that's where it came from? Also, if you haven't bought upgrades yet could you do us a favor and claim The Star. We'd rather Purple not end up claiming every Inquisition pawn in case he goes totally nuts. Also, we think The Star's abilities would go well with your holy powers.]

My vote is 'Hugo' for the alien's name. It's a good, solid name and if someone overhears it they might think we're talking about a northerner.

>>580705
>For a name: Rose is nice. Eventually she may learn to understand us, so a pun name might go over poorly.
If a pun doesn't carry over well, then wouldn't naming her after a plant be bad?
Hugo's popular enough so I'd say go with it. For the time being, it's just a code-name, if he does learn our language and already has a name, it may be best to go by something similar enough to his real name.

[Check pawn statuses]
Name the alien Rose.

>>580705
The idea of trading The Strength for the Hierophant is interesting, I say we suggest it and see if Purple agrees.

>>580705
>>580723
If trading The Strength for The Hierophant is an agreed upon good idea, then what should the message be, exactly? "I know he isn't an inquisitor, but he's got the strength and ability to recognize and fight demons, and will certainly be able to help you in your efforts. The Hierophant, however, seems to be crumbling in the separation from his family for the hard work he's been given. We'll still have him concentrating efforts towards the same goal, but he'll have the connection to his wife and son, allowing him to work better."?

Anybody got a better message to send? Anybody want to keep The Strength instead of trading for The Hierophant? At present, two people agreed to trade and zero have spoken against it. I'm not taking sides in this matter, so don't try counting me as a third or first for either side.

>>580727

Well there's the fact that he really isn't..Much to us, Strength is far more useful over time then his father would honestly.

As a result, I'd be against this trade.

>>580727
For the time being I'm against it. We don't know what Cathal (The Hierophant) would actually bring to us besides improving familial harmony. We know he's a veteran Inquisitor, but what does that mean for us? And Nick has a useful ability that so far appears to be unique to him. Also, we should NOT do a trade without first discussing it with Nick and getting his input. If we trade him off without a word to him, his opinion of us will take a big hit. Not something we want in the guy who's supposed to help us get Purple to cooperate with us. And if he's going to act as the counterbalancing voice of sanity to the zealotry of Purple he's going to need to know that's his objective going in.

I thought the first one said "The one you love the most is best" but "her!" makes more sense I suppose.

"False" is written upon the mirror? That is unusual. It is saying that the mirror's reflections will now be false? Can we no longer trust it to reveal the truth?

>>580754
If you ask me the Deceiver seems to want to make Dai distrust his mother. That is who he loves most.

As for where we have seen the Empress, I'm betting that it was here >>577531 or here >>578334 disguised as one of the guards. We should scan absolutely everyone from here on out.

Alternatively it could've been in the cellar as the "hallucination". Black's power could be remote viewing, which leaves behind traces when it's used. Or maybe the hallucinations just show up whenever we get overly paranoid.

Alright, lets see what we can see here. The shadow of a something large that appears to have eight limbs is hovering over Dai in bed. It's likely that is the shadow of The Deceiver.

"The one you love The most is her!-" I think "her" might be The Deceiver. The reflected "False" in the mirror may be saying the truth about the phrase above it; That it's a lie. The scrawl behind the bed stack is harder to read so this may not be right: "She will consume you alive"

Taken together this makes me think that Dai was being groomed to be a sacrifice to The Deceiver by whatever corruption was placed on him. But as with everything connected to The Deceiver it could all be lies and deception.

Considering it's almost certain that the Deceiver is the one causing those hallucinations, I don't think we should consider these messages to be either true or false. One can deceive by telling the truth when a lie is expected.

First, there is a horrible lack of Alpha Centauri on this desktop. Prokhor Zakharov will be dissapionted.
Oh, stanley par...
the ending is never the ending is never the ending is never the ending is never...

I like the desktop background. But yeah as for the cryptic ass messages, lets just do what we always do, shove them out of the way until something comes buy that might make them relevant. I mean we can try to solve the puzzle but without all the peaces it's kinda pointless.

Perhaps, but the mirrors don't lie, that's been our rule on deception, right? If the mirror says it's a lie, then it's a lie. The question is, which part of it? The one he loves the most, being her, what? We don't have that telltale sign for the other message, either. Assuming it is true, who is the she this time? It does not necessarily connect to the lie. It's a good thing we've claimed Atena and Lucrais, we can keep a watch over how they do things.

>The priest? Very well, but I must warn you The Hierophant has been… not one of the best pawns.
Purple himself feels that Cathal is not all that useful, but keep in mind, he's taking more of an active warrior route. He may be useful to us in his own way, following our Wisdom route, but I'm still not taking sides on the decision (as much as I want to bring the family together).

We should decide if we want to make the trade or not while waiting for the game to load back up.

Mirrors only cut through magical illusion.
