You’re Victor again!

Well, Victor just finished his ice cream. You’re back at home base! He is the newest member of Team Port Echo since several months ago.

The building is a simple, two story home with plenty of things to do! And everyone lives here.

You can start exploring the house on your own. You can find your friends and ask about themselves or anything relating to the job. You currently stand in the main living room, which also serves as the kitchen and the first room you enter in the building.

There are four main rooms to visit, Victor’s Room, Cybil’s Room, Eudora’s Room, and the Study Room where you’ll most likely find your supervisor, Jer Kerchek, notably the father figure of this super–terrestrial family.

Study room first, so we can get an introduction to Jer Kerchek.

we can also study up on your new abilities, the Smogwerfer, and Hallucinogenic Mod, and maybe study on how you can make your smoke bombs a bit more functional so you don't have incidents like smoke bombs going off too early, or stuck pins in the canister.

How long has the team been in operation? Are there any members other than you three? What qualities does the team look for in recruits?

Tell your boss we're out of ice cream. Again.

Check out your room first to show us your cool stuff then go see the boss man and then your two roommates

Go fiddle with your new toys! No not those toys! Also when was the last time you called home and spoke with mom?

>>778446
As far as Victor knows, Team Port Echo has been in effect fairly recently. But the time to gather all current members took roughly a year on this planet. There are only those three who actually go out to investigate crimes.

As for recruitment, only Jer and Cybil would know for sure. Simply put, Jer basically looks for aliens with superpowers, or those with ‘heightened mutations’. As an example, Eudora’s metamorphosis is miles beyond the rate any normal Arthocob would undergo. Victor has a vestigial gland in his lung that releases a special chemical. Throughout evolution the ancestors of his species were able to confuse predators with this chemical. Many Chupras today don’t have a functioning gland anymore, since they’ve become apex predators.
—
You decide to pay a visit to Jer Kerchek and visit your room next. The Study Room is a mix of a lab and an office where Jer hangs out—but anyone is free to read books or perform tests.

At the end of the room is an abnormally tall reptoid—measuring 7ft, although it could be Vic’s exaggeration. It slowly turns with a pair of eyes noticing him stand by the doorway.

Meet Jer Kerchek, a Gard native to planet Irimyth. He has lived a long time on Cnidari Vaalbara as a researcher, investigator, and forensic scientist. He has helped establish Team Port Echo as a new way of suppressing crime that’s too dangerous for the local department to handle. He’s a kind and intelligent creature, and quite spry given his old age.

Jer: “Oh, hello Victor! Please, come on in!”

Jer: “What can I help you with? I hope you’ve finally settled into your new home!”

"I think that the smoke bomb canisters that I custom-made contributed into the cost of a total success to the mission, and I want to try making new and improved canisters to avoid the same fate. Also, I want to check into these cool new skills our team has gained."

>>778740
"Also we're out of ice cream."

I'm doing fine, mostly just checking in to see how everyone is doing after the mission.

>>778740
Just read the discussion thread. changing my suggestion to talking about the smoke bomb canisters, running out of ice cream, and probably talking about giving this guy a codename.

Victor replies to the reptoid, “I’m fine and all; mostly checking in on everyone. I finished watching Cybil on the news.”

Victor: “I just feel that if my canister hadn’t malfunctioned or gotten its pin stuck, we could’ve captured Moss and made the mission a complete success…”

Victor: “Cybil wouldn’t have flung across the room by Crater.”

Victor: “Also, I just finished the last bowl of ice cream so it may be that's why I feel... incomplete?”

Jer: “Ah, no wonder…” he thinks for a bit.

Jer: “Well, the job will sometimes give yourself some regrets and afterthoughts and… trust me; I understand the pressure to succeed. But you’re doing so well for a group of rookies! Heh.”

Jer: “And sometimes… opportunities will be missed, and you might not hit all the checkpoints. The best thing is to move on and learn from your actions.”

Victor: “Yeah, I suppose. Thanks.”

Jer: “But before I forget—you seemed to have received a package…? I placed it on your bed.”

a) Continue talking to Jer in a calm manner and discuss other topics.
b) Proceed to sprint to your room and learn your new abilities already. That specific part you needed really really badly must’ve arrived!

Oh yeah! B! sprint sprint sprint! knock over anything that gets in your way!

B) Ohokaygoodtalkthankschiefbye!

Victor is delighted of the news; he couldn’t contain his excitement, “Thank you, Jer! That helped! I’ll be in my room if you need me—bye!” Victor’s Room was practically across the hallway.

Jer shrugs and returns to his work.

Ah, the sanctuary of one’s bedroom. It looks just like the one back at Dama’s Spa and Sauna. Which reminds him; he needs to send a message to his mother about his days on the job here in Port Echo.

There are lots of things to do here: tinker with explosives, finish up that weapon, or play a little music with your Yog-thrummer.

And there it was! A trapezoidal cupola spring-washer for the fore-end assembly, finally delivered!

NEW ABILITY MOD*: HALLUCINOGENIC MOD
Victor can add an extra ingredient to his abilities to induce either: fear, sleepiness, or [b/]rage[/b]. Victor will only have these three additives throughout an entire mission before he can refill at home base.

Victor can also sneak up to an enemy and spray the hallucinogenic substance without making noise.

*Ability Modifications add a little extra kick to change play-styles. They take up no slot and will always be available to the character until depletion.

NEW ABILITY UNLOCKED: SMOGWERFER
The Smogwerfer is a rifle that rains down chemtrails to drive out enemies—or hit a target with a blunt projectile. Each projectile costs 1/8th of his canister. The rifle fires in an arc.

Each character has Talents: unique hobbies and skills (occupational and natural skills) that can aid them on their adventure. Victor’s talents include Tracking/Awareness, Lockpick, Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Weapon Proficiency, Charm, and Knowledge (Traps/Explosives).

Victor is a crafty class; he’s someone who doesn’t need to be direct to get the job done. And if he gets caught, he has a knack for escaping and losing his pursuers, often acting on his improvisational skills.

During a careful investigation, or when under pressure, anyone can suggest a talent to use for any character. Percentage dice will be rolled by the author to determine how well Victor picks a lock, crafts an explosive on the spot, or charm the sexy Krullghn gals to obtain information.

a) Visit Cybil's Room
b) Visit Eudora's Room
c) >___

Eudora is scary when she is angry, and might berate you for your performance. Might as well see Cybil and get your review done and over with.

Visit Eudora first so Cybil can patch up your bruised ego.

>>780207
Let's visit Eudora first.

Attempt to charm "girl-who-can-easily-kick-your-ass".

Lets go see what toys the others have.
No not those toys! Maybe some other time!
Eudora, if she dose get angry we can test our new sleepy gas on her, and then flee to Cybil's room when that doesn't work.

>b) Visit Eudora's Room
see what kick ass toys she got and show off yours as well.

If you go to Eudora's room, MAKE SURE YOU KNOCK FIRST! you remember the last time you entered her room without knocking? not a pretty sight. Scary!

You decide to stop by Eudora’s room first and get it over with; Victor does love showing off his gadgets. The Arthocob may be a sourpuss but you get used to her attitude. He passes Cybil whose door is open—she’s tinkering with something but anyone is free to drop by anytime to chat.

Eudora’s door is almost always closed. It also is the only sliding steel door in the house. There’s no lock so anyone can enter as they please. Victor gives a few cautious knocks first; he’s actually a little intimidated by the bug–girl.

Hmm, no response. Well, he did knock first! Although Eudora is not really a pretty sight to begin with—it’ll make good practice to try and charm his way out without getting insulted.

Victor: “Hey… Eudora check out thi—oh…”

Inside is a cylindrical chamber and the air feels a bit humid. As the lights flicker it’s plain to see her room is almost completely empty other than a desk with a computer, some off-worldly plants, a plain dresser with not many dresses, and a giant cocoon hanging in the middle of the room—pulsing just like those on the docks. The only thing absent from the room is a mattress.

The cocoon leaks something gross, thankfully there’s a drain right below it.

So how long does she normally sleep in one of those things? Anyways probably can't show off our kick ass gear to her as she is now so might as well bug Cybil

Shhh... bug lady is asleep in her cocoon... just slowly back away quietly and yo- ACHOOO!

Quick, roll Escape Artist to dive out of the room before it's too late! Your life depends on it!

>>781345
>>781346
Both of these together would be funny! XD

Try to leave without disturbing her, sneeze loudly, roll for Escape Artist skill to avoid getting beaten up for waking her! XD

Guys, Escape Artist involves escaping from restraints. Sneak is moving quietly, Acrobatics would be moving quickly or whatever.

>>781339
Just go talk to Cybil instead.

NOPE dodge roll the fuck out of here!
Then get up and calmly close the door and go talk to Cybil.

>>781359
Exactly, we're escaping from the confines of Eudora's room.
And hoping for a nat 1.

>>781349

>How long do Arthocobs sleep?
No clue, but Victor believes shorter than most mammals. Maybe three hours are needed. But when she’s asleep, she changes appearance little by little. And Victor knows what happens if he interrupts her sleep (again)!

Well Cybil will like his cool gun, at least. The smoke will probably make Eudora sleepy again…

And just his luck—somehow, by the Gods, he does a worst attempt to hold back a sneeze, “HNNGK—PHTHOO!”

Time to make a break for it; this room is like an echo chamber! Everyone in this entire building probably heard that.

Escape Artist is usually trying to get out from being bound by ropes, squeezing through a tight passage, or held down by an enemy. Acrobatics seems to be fitting to nimbly avoid danger, or to hop over obstacles.

Victor turns tail to hop out of the way ([76]/[55]). The sliding door already began closing behind him and his snout slams into the metal sheet.

Everyone in the entire building probably definitely absolutely heard that too.

There’s this gurgling sound coming from behind. The room is very dim and he could see the cocoon start to move and shake. He doesn’t often see an Arthocob enter and exit their ‘bed’—it’s not something particularly enjoyable to watch, but you can’t look away. He feels like there should be a censor bar for this.

The insectomorph slips through the only aperture of its cocoon. She grumbles and takes a moment to reorient herself. Her body and arms shake to fling loose gunk off her body. She mutters something in her own tongue—well, her language is just a bunch of whispers anyway.

She hobbles towards you.

... so uh, I wanted to see if you were available to ask what you thought of the mission but I saw you were sleeping so when I turned to leave the door closed on me... where's the button to open it?

Hi. How's the butt coming along?

She stomps closer.

Victor: “Listen I’m sorry I just wanted-to-SHOWYOUA—AHHK!”

Eudora doesn’t wanna hear it. She grabs Vic by the scruff of his vest to make her message clear. Her face is distorted and stuck in asymmetry as she stares him down, so it’s very hard for him to concentrate.

Eudora: “How… many times must I tell you—”

Eudora: “—not to disturb my rest!?”

Eudora: “I don’t care about your little toy guns, you mangy mutt!”

Eudora: “Here’s what I can do—”

NEW ABILITY MOD: ENDURANCE SHIFT
Eudora can be thinner, taller, and agile, with the cost of defense to take a stealthy approach—or amp up her exoskeleton to be durable and withstand more damage. Transitioning from one form to another takes an hour and is better done during checkpoints and between missions.

AGILITY grants her faster movement, compound eyes, and a flurry of attacks, but slightly weaker armor and punches.

DURABILITY allows her to lift/throw heavier objects and stand her ground to fight larger enemies, but she is slower and prone to be hit.

Her abilities adapt to her body type.
CHITIN GLOVES
• AGL — Faster punches in a rapid flurry of attacks. Less damage.
• DUR — Walloping punches; more leeway for enemies to dodge.

NEW ABILITY UNLOCKED: SAP BOMB
Eudora can construct an Area-of-Effect bomb of sap. Enemies caught in the splash will struggle to free themselves. A direct hit can bind an entire body; while splash damage can bind hands and weapons (approx. three goons can be caught).

• AGL — Eudora can spit far with small, quick pellets.
• DUR — Larger splash; approx. five goons may be bound with a direct hit.

File 148790583920.png - (314.80KB , 1000x750 , EUDORA.png )

Eudora’s talents include Climb, High Jump, Spit, Heal-Self, Survival, Intimidate and Camouflage.

Eudora is the class who has the most natural skills and is the most flexible; she can opt for an offensive, bullet-sponge tactic or go for a stealthier approach.

Her AGILITY mod adds +10% to Climb, High Jump, Camouflage, and Spit, but depletes 5HP from total health.

Her DURABILITY mod removes -5% to aforementioned skills, but +5AR to total armor and +10% on Survival and Intimidate.

*Descriptions may change depending on how well this works!

>___

Those are great and all, but could you maybe chill out there, cranky?
Kid didn't mean any harm and it was an accident.

Too bad Victor didn't hear any of that, because he has now fainted in horror.

Compliment her new abilities, kiss her slimy feet, promise her your firstborn son, anything you can to stay alive.

I was trying to be quiet and leave when I saw you were in your thingy, but then the door fell down and I ended up running into it! You've really got to get that door fixed!

Sweet... and it would be considerably more awesome if you weren't about to kill me so can you put me down so I can let you get back to sleep. Also if you don't want anyone to disturb you while you sleep why don't you lock your door instead of having it close on somebody's face when they try to leave you to rest making a loud noise?

... A-are you getting madder? Should... should I just stop talking?

Victor guesses beauty sleep is important. Now to come up with an escape plan. He could just give in and bargain for his life. He could babble on, explaining himself and risk angering the disgruntled insect even more. Telling her to chill out is out of the question.

As primitive beasts, Chupras would be able to spit and quickly run away from their attackers. They also had a second defense maneuver which is probably fainting and playing dead ([03]/[40]). Eudora rolls her eyes and opens the door with a fist pounding on the button pad. No use slapping the mutt up anyway.

Promptly tossing him out, she grumbles and shuts the sliding door behind her. Now that’s an effective escape artist tactic!

Well, nothing much left to do but visit Cybil’s Room!

The Gortian is always operating on something—or doing research even outside of the job. You notice that—at this point living with the super-terrestrials—she doesn’t often take time to relax. Her room is in two parts. Behind the milky-white glass is a sanitary bed and bathroom. No one but Cybil is allowed beyond the sterilizing corridor where she can safely remove her suit.

She stops welding her latest invention and notices you, “Oh, hello Victor! Was that you making such a ruckus?”

Cybil: “Ah, I see you’ve finally finished that thing. What did ya call it again? Anyway…”

Cybil: “Early tomorrow morning we’ll be heading out to the [b]Eoochrqua Bazaar[b] that’s held bi-monthly at Cuttle Harbor.”

Cybil: “Next time, we’ll all arrive together. There was a miscommunication between the three of us on when to arrive and it won’t likely happen again.”

Cybil: “You mean, like, at the warehouse?”

Cybil: “Just the officers who arrived first. I recognized most of the party when I was a constable a few years back.”

Cybil: “You can safely assume Jer and I have a reputation with them. Due to my success and support for Jer’s proposed team—well, the department relies heavily on us not to screw up.”

Victor: “That’s a lot of pressure…”

Cybil: “Heh, Jer would get a laugh out of that. ‘Lots of paperwork to fill after every investigation. We are constantly kept in check ever since… well since the first time he's tried to establish a team.”

You decide to bring up the strange, black gumball from the freezer as to speculate what the heck it was. Even Cybil has no clear idea. She had scanned it earlier ([98]/[60]) but nothing could be identified.

Cybil: “Well you got me, Vic. The scanner just came up empty!”

Cybil: “I guess that the freezer is another militarized machine. The orb could be a bomb or dangerous element, or ingredient. I’m just guessing at the top of my head at this point.”

Cybil: “It’s currently in a secluded lab and it's out of our business. If something comes up, I’ll see if Jer can ask his friends to share a bit of information.”

She thinks for a bit, unsure whether to continue—but ultimately mentions it, “I can print my photos if you’d like. They’re more or less, well, confidential at this point.”

Cybil: “But I trust that you won’t let this become an obsession?”

Never know she was on the force before being on this team. Figured she was like Vic and Eudora and was picked out by Jer for some insane skill or crazy mutation. But if you don't mind me askin, what made you want to become a cop anyways? Especially on a world where you can't walk around outside of your room without wearing that suit? Just seems a bit odd to pick this place out all the places you could have gone. I mean Her skills would be valued anywhere. And what made her and Jer want either you or Eudora on the team as well. Not that you're complaining you just find it weird that someone with as short of fuse as Eudora being cleared for a experimental special task force, she's can be a bit of a pain to get along with, and while Vic is awesome again I would have thought that for something that seems to be testing the waters and soaking up so many resources you guys would have wanted someone with a bit thicker resume.

At this point I don't see why we should even care. Their's absolutely nothing we can do with the orb at this point and I feel that our efforts are best focused elsewhere. If it becomes important then we can deal with it when it comes back to bite us in the ass but as for now that ship has sailed, let's move on.

Leave photos. Too confidential.

Also, ask about the team. Suggest maybe merging your special attacks and abilities together for some kind of team attack, Chrono Trigger style

>>785056
Make a joke about how the strange, black gumball could be some ancient super weapon technology from a long destroyed civilization like in the plot of some sorta video game. Then suddenly realize that, holy shit, that might actually be what it is and you just made a really lucky guess!

You decide not to take the photos. There’s nothing anyone here could do at this point. There are still a few questions he was curious to ask.

Victor: “I didn’t know you were on the force! How does your species get into the frontline of crime prevention when they’re at risk of suit ruptures?”

Victor: “I’m sure your skills are valued anywhere but out of all the places to live and become a cop no less; why? If you don‘t mind me asking…”

Cybil makes a slight chortle, “Oh, Victor. My species is fine! It’s just me who’s stuck in this suit!”

Cybil: “And when you’ve lived two-thirds of your life in an isolated room hooked up to tubes and wires—you would too want to break out.”

Cybil: “But I guess the need to serve and protect is a ‘Gortian’ thing; it’s in my blood. I don’t know how Chupras or Arthocobs value order—but my species established many laws of the galaxy after centuries of barbarous interplanetary wars.”

Cybil: “My father worked relentlessly to find a cure for my immune deficiency. He and Jer were best friends before I was even born. And this suit was one of his last designs before…”

Cybil: “…well, his passing.”

Victor: “I'm sorry...”

Cybil: “No worries, Vic. It was many, many years ago.”

Cybil: “And to be situated here, I guess feel like I’m following in his footsteps. I was stuck on Khlaatus when it shifted to an isolated state and Jer, more or less, was able to rescue me.”

Cybil: “Kerchek really is like a father to me now.”

Victor: “So I see how you ended up chaperoning us. But how come Eudora and I were chosen? I’d assume you guys would want someone more qualified. And—don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with Eudora—but she seems to have a temper.”

Cybil: “Eudora knows to be responsible in the line of duty. Yes, she can get aggravated but she knows her limits.

Cybil: “And you do remember your training once you first arrived here, right? As for why you two were chosen…”

Cybil: “Jer has this childhood fantasy to create a super team. He’s a mutant himself, in fact. But he’s grown too old to fight anymore. And not all mutations benefit everyone,” she refers to her own immunity, “yet you and Eudora have something unique to bring to the table.”

Cybil: “You were given the opportunity to join, and here you are! If you focus on your heightened mutations—and use them to your full potential—”

Victor: “And merge our abilities for a devastating attack!”

Cybil: “Or that—we can be an effective team and clean up this city.”

ASK CYBIL ABOUT:
a) Herself; >___

"well thanks for the talk, but I do have one thing to say before I head out. If Jer is trying to turn us into super heroes I get a say in what my super suit looks like. I can't decide if it should have a cape or not."

just say the super suit part sarcastically and that should get a laugh out of her.

E. Got to get a good rest to face the next day bright tailed and bushy eyed.

D: Wait, hang on, we still have to call mother. Give her a call before we head to bed. go to where a phone is first.

Roll to charm. "So, does this mean I'll never get to see your pretty face?"

>>786608

This.

Then E.

Victor tries a suave line, “So if it’s just you in the suit, does this mean I’ll never get to see your pretty face? ([58]/[35]) ”

“Har har,” she smirks—or at least indicated that she had, “I see you're getting pretty tired; you should get going to bed. I haven’t noticed how much time has flown.”

Cybil: “It’s going to be a busy place tomorrow morning; we would need to be discrete about our investigation and make sure no bystander is dragged into our work.”

He just had one last thing to do, and it was to send his mother a message. She’s on a completely different planet, so phone calls may take years to go back and forth.

Usually foreigners would send video messages through a rather interesting form of ‘space mail’. Victor sets up his monitor to prepare his speech: whether it’s how he’s been doing for the past few days or maybe share details about his job. The program is free, thus the video can only last a few paragraphs unless he upgrades.

Like he's going to pay the full price...

WHAT SHOULD HE INCLUDE IN THE MESSAGE?:
>___

>>787246
"Hey mom, it's me Vic, but I guess you know that already. Just checking in to tell you how I'm doing. Just got back from my first mission and don't worry it went pretty well and not only did I help put a bunch of bad guys away I even fond something important looking after the fight, and don't worry I'm fine. They never even got close enough to touch me.

But yeah my team is also pretty great. Jar my boss is a pretty chill guy and I'm getting a feeling that he has a thing for super heroes which is actually pretty cool. Cybil who is the team leader and is also pretty cool as in not only is she pretty good at her job but actually knows how to talk tech so if I ever get bored or need to bounce ideas for some toys I got in my head off someone I finally have someone to talk to around here. Next is Eudora... She's kind of, well, a bitch but 2 out of 3 isn't bad but she's really good at her job and works well as in the team. Also I'm pretty sure she might be a slight narcoleptic or just lazy as she does like to sleep a lot and god help anyone who disturbs her beauty rest.

Anyways, just calling to let you know how I'm doing and to say hi. Hope to hear from you soon."

That short enough?

>>787281
looks fine, but I would take out the part about finding something important, probably just replace it with "a bunch of contraband", just in case. Gotta be absolutely confidential,

also, replace "bitch" with something else like "scary" or "loner" or something. the person we are writing to is his mother after all, she might not appreciate the foul language.

>>787344
well seeing how she threatened to beat vic to a pulp because she doesn't understand how door locks work I felt that calling her a bitch would actually be in character for vic seeing as she kinda has been nothing but a bitch to the little guy. Plus Vic doesn't seem to be the type of guy who would sugar coat things and will speak his mind unless it actually would be detrimental to his health.

Plus I kinda get the feeling that at some point one or more of our teammates will probably be surfing through our computer's logs for one reason or another and I figure little slip ups like that would provide some humor.

>Victor tries a suave line, “So if it’s just you in the suit, does this mean I’ll never get to see your pretty face? ([58]/[35]) ”
Aw, it failed!

>>787362
Fair enough, but I think we should still keep the important thing an absolute secret, don't even hint at it.

After much rehearsing and outtakes Victor manages to throw together a near-flawless message:

Victor: “Hey ma, it’s Victor. I mean—you can obviously see that. How are the sibs? And Dad?”

Victor: “Anyway, I’m just telling you how things are here in Port Echo. I got back from my first mission and it went pretty well, actually! I put a bunch of goons behind bars along with confiscating some, uh… contraband. Yeh. Very confidential stuff. Important, policeman stuff that I can neither confirm nor deny.”

Victor: “But don’t worry! None of those guys had a chance to even touch me!”

Victor: “The team here is great, though. My boss Jer is pretty chill about everything. He's into the superhero business—which I didn’t know even existed until he and Cybil visited us back home!”

Victor: "Yeah, that's right! Tell the others Vic is an official superhero now."

Victor: “Cybil’s the team leader, just as cool. She knows a thing or two about technology while on the job. She can make a hologram and all this cool stuff with gadgets!”

Victor: “Maybe we ought to build something together, bounce ideas off one another. See what sticks.”

Victor: “Then there’s the weirdest guy, Eudora. She’s kinda… —cough— bitchy, sorry but I’m sure she means well. She’s like some bug but still valuable on the team. She can pack quite a punch and can get pretty intimidating.”

Victor: “Guess I should be happy she’s on our side. But God forbid if she loses her beauty sleep. I’m thinking she’s somewhat of a narcoleptic for sleeping in her room so much. She’s kind of a loner anyway so I guess that’s fine.”

Victor: “Anyway, I’m running out of time. I feel there’s so much left to share so… I hope to hea—”

There. The message will be sent to Dama’s Spa, planet Tha’le in about a few Cnidari Vaalbara days’ time. He won’t expect a response for a little while if his mother chooses to communicate the same way.

He hops into his bed and gave in to his tired frame.

END OF PROLOGUE
Episode 1 Coming Soon

Have a weird dream about that black marble thing.

Have an even weirder dream about Eudora metamorphosing into something more comfortable.

have whatever dream you're having turn into ice cream with a giant ice cream sandwich giving you a speech about how you and your team are the last line of defense this city has and how important everything you do so you should always give your best and try not to screw up.

Then when you wake up realize you probably shouldn't eat a whole tub of ice cream before bed in the future.

masturbate.
