We're onto the third chapter, and we haven't learned much about this place. But we've saved a distressed damsel from a satanic torture realm and we've met a relatively friendly local. Some of the other locals have begun to take notice that we're here, though. And everyone on this rock seems to be some rancid flavor of asshole.


Starting officially with this chapter I'm adding a 'cheat sheet' to keep track of all the dumb little details, so that you don't have to. This sheet is publicly edited and does not require registration or anything- please add to it or change it or make comments or ask questions or do anything with it, any input (that isn't replacing it with ASCII penises) is hugely appreciated. I will shake your hand and/or give you a high five if I ever meet you in person and you've done something with the cheat sheet.

I think this guy's the designated town trader. The Christmas comic shows his house is full of crap and Nouille goes to him first for finding a gift. He lives immediately beside the front gate. And he speaks English when the others don't.

He's probably just coming out to see if you want to trade stuff. It's a shame you have nothing on you.

Anyways, uh, we're not really sure if things are going bad but before we got yanked here Kate was talking to someone from Nouille's village trying to figure out if she could trust him while Nouille went to talk to someone to grab something and then during the middle of Kate's conversation Nouille could be heard saying something very angrily to someone else who was yelling back just as loud so that both of them could be heard across the whole village. Not sure what they were saying seeing how they we're speaking their native tongue. Speaking of which do you know any of the native dialects? Because if so I can tell you the last thing we heard and you can tell us if we should be worried or not.

To properly answer your question, yes there were some near misses. Victor lost his mask when a slime-thing ate Jack's van and exploded once it got ignited by the battery. He claimed he was okay to keep going, so we did.

There was a second alarming moment when we needed to hide from an unoun patrol. Again, we got through it just fine. We were not noticed.

The last alarming moment was when we arrived at the village and found that Pam was unfortunate. She will not be returning to Trenchtown, since she angered the village by wandering into their territory and they dismembered her. Her remains have been arranged on a pole to serve as a warning to not violate the fence boundary.

They really need to re-arrange the fence a little to make it clear it is a fence, humans would naturally have trouble recognizing it as such since the palisades are spaced a fair distance apart.

You remember that tiny pink slime thing and how it exploded when you lit it on fire?

Well, an even bigger pink slime thing found your van and had completely engulfed the whole thing! And then it ate through the car battery, which allowed a spark to touch the slime thing, and then the slime exploded with a really big BANG!!!!!

Which I'm pretty sure you heard earlier.

You never met Pam, but she's dead. Or at least, in pieces. Maybe there's some way to put her back together, but I'm not holding out hope. She wandered into the unoun village uninvited and they set her corpse out as a warning to others to heed their fence (I think they need to make their fence better, myself).

Soo would probably like to know about Pam.

Kate's met the unoun trader and is talking to him about his advertising signs while Nouille negotiates with the fleshcrafter about fixing up Kate.

Victor lost his mask when your van blew up. Just one more thing to work on replacing I guess. The mask, I mean. The van seemed like a total loss.

Pain control is first priority. The shock of the pain hitting her could finish her off. If we can't get the rune re-carved properly, she should be laid down and kept distracted as much as possible.

Victor please relay to the trader that we know it is not his fault. Then get a sharp rock or something and please re-trace that rune on Kate's midsection... hmm actually that might be an issue. Can you perceive it? I understand you see the world rather differently than the humans or unoun.

It's a pattern of four sigils, consisting of parallel and perpendicular lines. The top left line stands straight and alone. The top right and bottom left signs are two parallel lines in the same orientation. In the bottom right symbol, the second line connects to the base of the first to form a right angle.

No. 845127 ID: ba506f

>>845103
well in that case we should probably just describe all three

the blood one is a triangle with the tip pointed down(as in pointing towards her feet) with a horizontal line going through the middle of it that starts and ends just outside of the triangle with another line half way between the bottom (flat bottom or base of the triangle which I guess would actually be the top in this case) and the middle line that is inside of the triangle that doesn't touch ether side of the triangle

The next symbol is just a circle with a vertical line through it that starts and ends just outside of the circle. think this symbol is the one that makes it so you can't die.

the last one we saw is basically the upside down greek alphabet letter for omega. the one that looks like a horse shoe or a capital U with but at the end of each of the lines the line turns at a 45 degree angle outwards. Not sure what this one does... might be the no pain rune but not sure

anyone what to correct me or did I actually describe these right?
>>
No. 845128 ID: e5fd8b

The pain control rune consists of an equilateral triangle with one point aimed toward Kate's feet. A straight line the length of any of the legs is inscribed so that it is crossing two legs of the triangle halfway up the triangle. A second straight line is inscribed halfway between the uncrossed leg of the triangle (the top leg) and the line which crosses two legs. This line should be half as long as any leg of the triangle. It should not cross any legs, and it should be contained wholly within the triangle. It should be centered between the two legs that the longer line crosses.

If those instructions were unclear, here are alternate instructions: Equilateral triangle ABC shall be oriented with point A at the origin. Points B and C shall be positive on the Y axis. Point B shall be negative on the X axis, while C is positive on the X axis. Point D shall be halfway between B and C. Leg BC is equal to line EF. Line EF shall be drawn parallel to leg BC, so that its center point is located in the middle of line AD (do not inscribe AD) at point G. Line HI shall be equal to leg segment BD. Line HI shall be drawn parallel to leg BC with its center point in the middle of line DG (do not inscribe DG).

Hopefully some of that makes sense.

The existing rune is carved on the inside of Katie's skin, on the lower left side of the small of her back.

If she is laid down face down she can help keep herself from rolling downhill. She will need to be either on her right side or face down if the idea is to re-carve the rune in the original location.

The rune does not need to be on the inside of the flesh though. Katie carved a similar rune, which worked, on Jack's belly.

We know the pain control rune is the one I described because it is the rune Katie carved into Jack.

... Correct me if I'm wrong, but is your mom grounding you?

How old are you exactly, Nouille? Like, are you an adult of your species, or a teenager? Or child? I've assumed you were older due to your, uh... very developed areas. Also you're pretty tall compared to humans, but not compared to others of your species. Although your mom is about your height so never mind.

My grasp on your language isn't the best, so do correct me where I err — but the short version (as I understand it):
* she unconditionally refuses to help Kate, on the grounds that she is non-kith (nor'utoth) and an asshole (gohoran);
* she wants Nouille to settle down — probably due to narcissistic empty nest syndrome — and
* she wants Nouille to seek help from someone by the name or title of "Soh'Boda", whom Nouille herself detests.

You know what, Nouille? Familial relation or no, fancy title or no, you might as well actually ignore her if she's going to be such a petulant child. (And if she's as much of a narcissist and control freak as I suspect, threatening to ignore her may be disproportionately effective leverage.)

If she hears alien voices in your head that you seem to have some control of, she'll be more responsive to your explanation. Or angry. Want to risk it?

Doctor is close enough. I'm getting the impression that a phrase like "flesh sculptor" might be more descriptive.

Anyway here's an argument that she might understand: helping Kate will be proof to other humans and human-associates that this settlement is willing to make good faith efforts to be good neighbors. Not that you all are not, but there is now substantial opportunity for misunderstandings because the trespasser is dead.

That dead human woman, Pam, was known by and associated with Bolo and Valentine. Without some sort of good will measure being taken, they will discourage humans from seeking to come trade once they learn of Pam's death. It's simply not worth the risk of getting dismembered for crossing an ill-defined fence. Trespassing usually merits a warning and forcible ejection for a first time offender, not death and dismemberment, with subsequent display of remains as a warning.

I really meant to get this thread finished before I had to go on a short hiatus to deal with real life issues. Then my computer crapped itself the day after posting the last update.
