Uh huh.

And it's, just, it's the total contempt. I can't stand it! She has such an attitude about it!

For sure.

Iuaey'oauey'oieua'yuioa'yoaue'oayei

If she shared, that's all I'm asking. We've given her everything! We make life here so easy! And she just, she spits in our faces! I know we can't just leave her, but, like...

Right.

I, just, where the heck is the decency? What kind of girls are they raising back there these days? None of the others have ever been like this.

Totally.

And I know you aren't going to step in, because I've always got to be the bad guy, every time I've got to be the bad guy!

You worry so much! Too much! Nobody likes bad times. I don't like bad times. You shouldn't like bad times, sweetness.

~U- uh huh...~

So how about we go make some good times, huh? Take it easy, slide some tension right off your beautiful shoulders?

~Y, yeah! Please...~

Yeah. That's a good girl! We'll get some real good vibes rolling in here.

we interrupting something?

Hey hey, make sure you lock any doors before this goes further. Wouldn't want anyone else to intrude, eh?

Uh huh "Good Vibes"... Hey where the hell are we, Can anyone hear us?

Howdy do, are we interrupting your date-rape? Oh wait, you're not actually putting your [tentacle] in her [flower], are you? Please excuse us, we were just visiting OF COURSE WE'RE MAD.

This is your FRIEND, Mister Bolo. Please don't rape your friends. Even if she is a prideful 8!+(#.

Can we trade info? We have a really good deal for you: stuff we learned from THE information broker, in exchange for a penny question:

WHERE THE @#$% ARE WE?! I mean the large asteroid which is currently the largest gravitational force influencing you right now, stupid.

sure you should be doing that with those static worms over there?

Sooo...
come here often?

You know, you really should listen to Valentine more. This type of thing will keep popping up, drug kisses or no.

Looks like things are about to get a little "dream of the fishermans wife" around here. You've got some interesting symbology in the back there too. Perhaps you and your pal had some practice recently, to flesh out some of the more "gory" details?

Alright, well. Can't say I've seen weirder but fuck it, we're on the Rock! All sorts of shit happens here. Hell. You're even asking about where you are, like every newbie. Nothing different.

You're in Trenchtown! This is my town, and this is my bar.

[[Calling this a 'town' stretches the word beyond any measure of credibility.]]

[['Bar' also implies far more than what is available.]]

Hey- it's about the closest thing you're going to get on this chunk of dirt, my fine phallic friends.

~Hey! I wanna screw.~

I know you do, sweetness. But we've got some newbies. Gotta deal with them first.

~That's not fair!~

It'll take two minutes, beautiful. So what the hell are you? Some kinda... thought alien? Don't have a body? That's a bitch. You're missing out without a nice, curvy, sensual body, trust me. I'm missing out, too.

what are we.... hmm.

I'd say we are a collection of shoulder angels and demons that do to a shipping error all get sent to the same guy and now in a half assed half panicked attempt to get everyone where they were actually meant to go we're getting sling shotted across space and time to random people till either someone back at HQ grows a brain or by some miracle we actually land back at the people we were meant to be assigned to.

my assignment was to help so poor lost soul to decide whether he should use his last few bucks to invest into the stock market and rebuild his riches that way or to buy a gun and rob a bank.

We are here to watch your whole life turn into shit in the next few hours, then save you.

Random thought aliens that has been stuck with someone for a long time, and now we're just suddenly being tossed about this place back and forth between people..

You however are new to us at least, given that the previous people we were shoved off too we knew through our previous fellow we know.

>>778558
I think this is the guy who was knocking on the door in the last thread. He's got the tentacle head thing going on. So we sort of know him.

>>778561

Oh your right! He was the one knocking on the door wasn't he. Looking to help out "Newbies". Yeah we met you earlier then!

When you were talking to our previously distressed friends earlier, and this must be the "Double D's"

Hmmm, i think before we came here we were just a bunch of voices inside someones head.

We're a collection of random entities (mostly mortals, like your personal slut here) that found this random connection hub on their communication network, and now we check in and give communication abilities and suggestions to various clients that the hub has access to for entertainment.

Also known as, we're bored and bugging you is fun.

>>778550
That's putting it lightly. Fate does not tend to smile upon those we observe. Again, because we're bored and whatever is giving us the power to observe your world wants to put on a good show for the audience. The ones with poor reception and low quality visuals tend to get the slapstick treatment, so we just throw out a bunch of pie bombs and wait for the explosion. But the good news is, since this show plays out like a media publicized D&D session, if things get TOO disastrous the usual response from the screenwriters is that we get a lucky break to give the world a reticular bypass. So don't worry about the ROCK exploding into tiny bits just five minutes in.

Worry about surviving the drama scene that occurs afterwards.

>>778564
Dude, I think she's a size Q.

I see you have a nice thing going here. So about those three - we've seen other talking worms, from a different sector. Let me guess, billions of years old, but uplifted less than five years ago? Haven't heard from him or his partner in a long time. We don't know much about our worm guy because HE didn't know much about himself either (know-it-all technically-older-than-you type). So if you could give us some pointers?

The survivors you found just got here yesterday, we've been helping them since they woke up. I advised against accepting help from YOU guys because you could have been a hack-and-slash adventuring party with no respect for unarmed civilians. And oh look, we were probably right - you're a rapist. Now they're armed and we can begin transactions.

And now for a few courtesies. Please give your friend a dildo. Please do not have sex while we're watching. And if your dick is filled with rusty spikes and you show it to us we CAN and WILL fill your brains with mind-rotting elliptic garbage by throwing old random BLINDING AND BLARING TV clips into your psychic nerve over and over and over. Okay?

Raper no Raping!
Seriously man as glorious as dem tits is don't, its not worth it trust me.

We are an ethereal collective of extradimensional individuals who attempt to assist those we are in contact with. We dont really have any control over whose thoughts we inhabit however, in fact we used to be in the mind of the person who was in the building with the satanic symbols you passed earlier when you were singing that sea-shanty.

So how popular are blood hargesting cults around here?

We're the ghosts of impotence. We're here to ruin your ability to get wet and wild.

Did you know that there are worms in some of the rivers of our homeworld that detect pee to hunt? And that those same worms often swim up people urinating in the river to lay eggs in their dick?

A collection of random personalities bundled together that hop from place to place. We tend to help people with their goals in exchange for a bit of entertainment. Nice to meet you?

~Are we gonna fuck or what?!~

See? What'd I tell you? She wants it. Nobody likes bad times. She relaxes, I relax, everyone has a good time! Don't worry about it, girls. We've done it a million times.

[[Entirely correct. We miss Vicky.]]
[[But she's been forgotten. We have been also. We hope we will be remembered again.]]
[[It does not matter. At the moment we are here, not there. We have not been here long.]]

Yeah... these guys! No idea what they're on, just that they won't share it. They've only been here a couple days. Practically everyone here's a newbie by the way, people just pass on through. First lesson about the Rock.


Anyway! So... you may be some kinda bodiless thought things peering in on us? Still not sure what you are, although I'm definitely getting that there's a bunch of you, 'cause you're all giving me different answers. Doesn't matter! Everyone is welcome at Trenchtown!

I really should give you girls the tour. Get you settled in! Tell you about the Rock, all that newbie stuff. What do you say? Not sure how much you'll get out of the facilities, but hey! Maybe you can tell your friends at the motel about us, get them on over. Or at least you can hang out with the other girls here. Give us a bit of privacy, huh?

>>779330
Hate to break it to you buddy, but willing sex under mind control or drugs is still rape. Unless the person involved is of sound mind and legally permitted to make any and all of their own decisions, the sex is not considered consensual.

>We miss Vicky
What... happened to her? The heist! What happened during the heist?!

>What do
Can we talk to those three for a few minutes?

I dunno about the others but alright, maybe launch us into the trouble-case miss uptight there mentioned so we can work while you get her unwound eh?

>>779330
this still looks like a rape of both the body and the mind.

It's pretty clear these two are already in a relationship by the prior conversation. Give them some bloody space, they'll be more likely to talk post-coitus.

So, she pre-consented, when of sound mind, earlier, for you to regularly do the mind thing on her and have sex with her? What was the agreement exactly?

>>779390
You want to know the more mundane version of that would be? When my wife was alive she had a favourite cologne. I'd throw that on and nibble her neck and it had a similar effect. Other versions include "getting the wife a drink". Our voices are coming in out of nowhere and frankly I think he's being pretty chill about having the mood stomped on.

okay the, try to send us to someone you know.

Yeah, maybe we should go outside now. We'll stick to Victor for the moment, I want to ask him a few questions. Last we saw him, he was just outside the bank using a corpse phalanx against the local S.W.A.T. team.

What, like, my life story? I don't know, there's not much to say... I was hitchhiking, I spent a night in a cheap motel, I woke up here. The green guy says I'll leave in a week or so like most newbies so I'm just drinking and drugging and trying to keep the fuck away from all the weird shit going on here. Like talking to goddamn worms and japanese porn monsters and invisible people.

>>783461
HEY, that's offensive! We prefer "fucking aetheric shitwhistles", thank you very much!
NAHHH but really, don't worry. We're loud and annoying but we're not outwardly horrible. Most of the time. Collectives, yanno?


ANYHOW, you seem like you could use a good blunt right now. Is space weed a thing? Let's make it our interim goal to find you some space weed so you can unload that anxiety a bit.

> I spent a night in a cheap motel, I woke up here.
weird, that's the same thing that happened to the other guy we were helping before we stumble across here. Did you find a portal in the closet that lead to hell as well. Because if you did I say you were very wise in trying to stay the fuck away form all the weird shit. Also what do he mean you would leave in a week? Did he mean you'd pop back to wherever the hell you originally came from, that he'd kick you out, or that something else would come by and collect you?

also triangle victor, you alright? Didn't mean for you to poke your head in their, just was asking if you know who that guy was not to wake him up. Hope your mask is ok.

There might be some underlying connection between each motel room, something that causes the phase shift.

Did you find an eldritch bible in the room? Our guy did.

new guy is who we came in with, was with a, uhh, prostitute, in a cheap motel. she went into the closet and it turned into a portal to a hell zone and she was kinda horribly tortured, then we staged a rescue. flip side we learned some magic, got the runes for immortality, painlessness, and "eject all your blood". i do not recommend that last one.

I don't think leaving entails returning to where you were... Might want to put your big boy pants on and set yourself up to survive longer than a week. Also never stay in a cheap motel again. Have you been outside?

Oh yeah, and what's up with that lady at the bar? You know who she is?

So. This is some kind of alien brothel aye?

1: Are you and the other girls being held here against your will?
2: Who is the boss man, and what does he look like. You mentioned something about a pig?

I uploaded (major portions of) my language notes to the "cheatsheet". unfortunately the site didn't want to cooperate with my tablet and so I seem to have left a mess in the bestiary section which I can't remove. So if someone else can clean that up that'd be great.

If there's giant talking worms here I can believe in magic and 'hell zones' and stuff too? Why not. That sounds rough, I hope she's okay?

'Eldritch'? I don't really read hotel room bibles, is that, like... mormons, or something?

Entails is like, 'means', right? Uhm, I don't know what it 'entails' either. The girl who was here when I got here, she got her week and just disappeared. Like, while I was talking to her. Bolo says we go home, and I guess I don't have any reason to not think that.

>Have you been outside?
Well, duh. I didn't wake up here here.

>>783531
>So. This is some kind of alien brothel aye?
No! What? You think... I'm not that kind of a girl! It's, like... it's like a hotel, kind of. There's a little farm and stuff in the back, so they call it a 'town', but this and the bar, that's really it. Bolo runs it with his bitch of a girlfriend. He said it's free, but then she comes in...

Fucking porkchop cunt.

>>783462
>ANYHOW, you seem like you could use a good blunt right now. Is space weed a thing? Let's make it our interim goal to find you some space weed so you can unload that anxiety a bit.
That's the thing! I've got like, a little bit left. And I've only been here two days, so if I don't want to run out I've got to use like, nothing. I've got a itty bitty baggie of weed, I've got some vodka and a bit of heroin, but nothing to inject it with, which sucks. Snorting it is crap. Anyway, the fat bitch wanted me to give up my stuff, like, even though Bolo already said it was all cool. She thinks I'd be cool with their stupid shitty mould booze instead, like, what the fuck.

>>783883
eh, I'd suggest you stay away form the heroin. Crap is expensive as all hell and once you get hooked to that crap their's no real way of getting off it. Booze and weed are fine since they're relatively cheap and only fuck you over if you take way to much at once but yeah getting off topic here. Also speaking of off topic dare I ask what the local booze is like?

Also Vics, how long have you three been here?

>she got her week and just disappeared
Has it occurred to you that you may be dead in your home dimension? And that this dimension's magic is (A) the only thing keeping everyone here alive and (B) it stops working when you go back? Personally, I'm even more worried about where you'll actually go when you phase out.

Like a random point in the known universe.

At an entry velocity that would relatively vaporize you on impact if you somehow entered in the atmosphere of a random planet and not, say, the vast emptiness of space.

This place is hell but using up your week means you could die instantly from the return trip. You might want to look into that.

>@#$%ing porkchop cunt
Her 'boyfriend' rapes her on a daily basis. You may angst now.

>Want drugs
You're in luck! Our main client is a pharmacist. We got syringes and pills and medkits and all that good medical ^&*(. No painkillers though, we had to use them all on this snake guy with fifth-degree burns and that blood purge rune.

Got anything worth trading beyond drugs, or are you willing to work on our payroll?

Have you considered that you're pouring valuable trade goods down the drain? Some people would kill for a good smoke. Instead, why not convince them to NOT kill you and walk away with something of theirs too? In fact, I wouldn't go around flaunting all that wealth if I were you...

>>783946

Hm, and you're probably not gonna be able to trade sex for it either since he let go of one of his nuts to keep that other prostitute alive too.

Anyway Soo I've heard worse plans than bunkering up and waiting out your time. But if you want the new guy's help, you're going to need to meet him. He's sorting shit out with the others he arrived with, still outside a ways from here.

so quick question, what happens if your stay here last longer then a week? I mean you only seen one person leave after a week, what happens if it's different for everyone? Like that one chick only stuck around for a week, some other dill weed only showed up for 3 days, BUT THAT JERK OFF was here for a whopping 2 months. Just saying. Also how long has Valentine been her? the red head with the purple sweater?

Well... he might just be glad to see another human to be honest. You might not need to worry about money.

Rectangle worm's hiding behind his mask. Aww, he's shy and it's cute. I think he's got a crush on you.

Bolo said people either leave after about a week, or they stay for way longer. Like, months, or years. But he told me most people stay for a week. It's aliens who stay for ages. Like Demrin, or Bolo, or probably these worm guys. Although the porker's been here for years apparently, so apparently it can happen to people too.

Uhm, yeah. I'm gonna just ignore that.

Well! I'm a people person. I'm really good at being what people want me to be. Like, if someone's looking to do something nice and get a warm fuzzy feeling for helping a poor, crying girl, maybe give her a ride and some money to get her on her feet... I can totally be that poor, crying girl. Uhm... I'm also pretty good at gymnastics I guess, if you want a rope climbed or someone to spin around a bar or something I can totally do that.

>>785497

Oh, plus the stuff I took out already, my drugs, my nail clipper, my, uh, women's stuff. Plus I've got a spare set of clothes, 'cause you never know. And vodka.

You remember when the Chaos god bisected himself and each half turned into a giant-breasted chick? I figure whatever magicks he used to do that irradiated you and caused a delayed-reaction that activated when you somehow came to THIS quest.

So now one of you is a boy worm. Or a lesbian worm. Or just attracted to women. Whatever. Point is, eldritch powers make the unthinkable your current reality.

Would anyone know by chance how to re-sew someone back together in a way that they will recover fully? Because we currently have two such cases and they're both still alive. Just one is an asshole so we're really only concerned with helping the one who isn't.

Putting aside Victor's burgeoning sexuality for a second, do we want to invite an admitted scam artist into the party? Especially if there's apparently nobody around to scam but us.

Alrighty, boys and worms! Where are we headed? I want to meet this pharmacist.

Try doing an aerial survey of this hellscape for a big concrete rectangle. Can flying circle-worm give you a lift? (I hope rectangle-Victor doesn't get jealous!)

should be a single motel room out in the wastes somewhere. is that smoke off in the distance over there?

Okay, the tower is on the far right, the motel is about five miles away from the tower, and this area seems to be about fifteen miles away. So it's in the general direction of the tower.

Here's something you can do: Jack's van is stuck in a valley. Get it out and back to the motel intact, and you can have all the drugs in the van. That's left of the direction from the tower to the van, so go for the smoke and hopefully it isn't being raided for supplies right now.

>>789623
Dude, you don't tell her where the drug stash is, then say she can have some if she returns it to us. That's our bargaining chip. Well hopefully Jack's hidden them or something so she can't just grab them and run.

>>790194
Didn't Nouille take all the good stuff already? And Jack doesn't leave any of his hard drugs in the van, so she still needs a chemist like Jack to cook the remaining medicine into drug format.

With some glassware, fungus, mold, and household chemicals I bet all sorts of fun stuff can be prepared.

Kate's lookin' good! Pair of pants, shirt do quite well on her if I do say so myself.

Also yeah we kinda mindshifted to another person, we also discovered who that was that was inviting us to a place earlier. They kinda off but they were genuine about the offer of a place to stay.

what the fuck did we miss? last we saw kate was split in two. Also look up and tell me what you see. You should be getting some company soon of the hopefully non-asshole kind.

should be some giant worms flying in with a girl, they are cool so don't freak out.

Wow, you really helped her pull herself together! Well we've been busy too, and we found a settlement of sorts. Also talking worms with no sense of personal space. Here they come now!

Say, I wonder if miss Jung really speaks English... well, even if she doesn't we've got three telepaths and one language shaman. We'll get along just fine! ...Right?

Since we're back, Kate, did you always wear your hair like that?

Jack, incoming worm-helicopter holding another human scumgirl!

Okay, time to explain: the girl's a wandering junkie, the three worms are Victor and they're old contacts of ours; his boss was one of our clients a few years back. Victor has psychic powers, an over-inflated ego, is mentally younger than he seems, USED to be a single giant worm, and we lost contact with him during a heist on an elven bank.

Also, his patron god/goddess is an insane shapeshifting blob, which explains a lot.

>>791493
>what the fuck did we miss? last we saw kate was split in two.
I sewed her back up. I used that wooden picture frame to support her spine, pushed her insides back in, stitched her up tight. Stitched her muscles together too, so she can hold herself up and all that. It's, uh... it's not as good of a job as it looks with her shirt on. I'm really not a surgeon. She's probably suffering from a dozen different kinds of infection, her stitching could pop at any moment, it's non-biodegradable surgical thread so I can't just leave it inside her, and a slight wind is going to snap her in two at the waist. I mean that as literally as possible. And she's already turning red around the wound. She's going to look at lot worse, soon.

It'll do for now, but we seriously need to figure out something long term. I've got several antibiotics but without knowing what's wrong with her, I don't know which ones to give her. I'm not a doctor, I can't diagnose that. Oh, and as soon as that rune thing stops working, she's at least three different kinds of fucked.


So. What's this new girl's deal? Is she any good at fighting? We have a problem there, too.

not sure how she is in a fight as she seems to be the type to avoid conflict if possible but she could at least probably take you somewhere where you could find better help... maybe. The victors could probably offer some advice at least.

Oh yeah, good news. Double D's is a real place, and it's about as legit as you're going to get around here. We should head that way for now.
Seems there's a lot of hotel rooms that end up here for some reason, and their occupants are welcome to stay at Double D's before they mysteriously disappear in about a week on average.
Bolo's the name, chemically assisted consent is his game. I doubt he's going to be much help, but he seems to have a partner in running the place who's much more action-oriented.
...Did anybody notice any dudes besides Bolo at Double D's? The Victors, I guess, but they're kinda hermaphrodites.

>>792093
could be that the motel rooms shift over women but don't have any particular man exclusion attached to the magic. so they shift when a woman sleeps in them.

That sounds... shifty. So this guy is kidnapping people at his bar? Why in hell would we go there?... Besides, we can't go searching out more people for this. We have to use what we've got.

Nouille chatted with me a bit. So she was supposed to kill this guy right away. But she couldn't manage it, which is a bad thing. She's already in some shit with her tribe, so with this on top, they'll hunt her down and kill her. And since she'll "die with dishonor", she'll be reincarnated as some sort of vermin. That's what she believes, anyway. Personally I'd just like to not see her get murdered by her own fucking family.

Anyway if he gets out and crawls back to his tribe, which isn't far from here, he's definitely going to squeal on her. He's been quiet in there for awhile, but he's tried getting out once or twice already. If we just leave, he's going to get out, no doubt about it.

We need a plan of action now. This guy's immortal until we can cut that rune thing off him, and he's not going to cooperate. We've got one terrified girl with a spear, a girl who'll break in two at the slightest touch, and me. And I'm about as sturdy as wet tissue paper. And he's got arms as big as me, only ten times stronger. Well, fingers crossed that these guys can offer something.

Uhm... hey. What's up? What're you looking at, dude?

There's someone coming toward us.

...Yeah, there is. Who the fuck is that?

Someone friendly. I think.

By the way Kate, do you always wear your hair like that?

Huh? Oh. No, not really. I just cut it today. Or, like... yesterday, or whenever the fuck I guess. Before we got here.

I got it on a whim but I'm not liking it at all. I can't change it now until I grow some new hair, and a lot of guys aren't into it. You were my first john with my new cut, dude.

>If the angry guy squeals on Nouille, she's Persona Non Grata to her tribe
@#$% them. She could make a killing as an exotic prostitute / mystic on Earth. Katie could keep her alive, show her the ropes. She's already on thin ropes with her clan, they likely excommunicated her already.

>This haircut sucks
That might be a problem if Katie's rune keeps her hair from growing. After all, an even worse problem would be the runes healing themselves and Katie bleeding out because her immortality rune no longer works.

>>793682
>Why in hell would we go there?
Do you see anywhere else in hell to go? Especially with someone who at least pretends to put on a smile? There are other humans there, dude. Safety in numbers. Plus, she's stacked like a brick house.

Okay, so you got this dude to deal with. If you cut his head off, it'd be like cutting the rune off, right? Even Kate's halves were still attached, barely.
Or, hm. Is the gravity light enough that working together, you could push this apartment into a deep dark pit? Not a lot of options for dealing with him without going back in. Gradually prying off the boards gets you a better shot with the spear, but you've got nothing strong enough to utilize it properly.

>>793694
We have him trapped in a room, a portal mage, and three psykers. Let's just drown him in swamp water and that pink gel, and then chop off his limbs while he's unconscious.

>>793833
I forgot about that pink slime. He's a big guy though, maybe if we just chuck the bucket we might not get all of him and he'll have one arm unparalyzed or something. Could we lure a slime in there and just lock him in with it? Nouille freaked the fuck out when confronted with one and that's when she had a weapon.

Maybe send one guy out to hunt for it, the others stay back to keep the asshole in place. Someone who can run, who doesn't have a tail that's probably not as fast as legs, or who's not split in half and liable to falling apart at any moment. Which leaves you, Jack. Unless you can convince Soo to take your place.

It'd be safer with two. If something opportunistic happens on the slime-handler, he or she might not be able to cope alone.

That might work. He didn't ever move his tail, did he? It felt cold and dead in my hands, too. But, problem is trying to cut his head off in the first place, before he rips the spear out of my hands and slices mine off instead.


>Or, hm. Is the gravity light enough that working together, you could push this apartment into a deep dark pit?
Gravity might be lower, but I seriously doubt we can budge an entire room. Plus, he's immortal in there, he might just crawl out of the rubble or something.

That's insane. I'm surrounded by enough awful shit without actively hunting down horrible dangerous beasts. But I know how life is working out for me today so I'll gather up the goddamn party.

Well there's a guy in that room, and we need to-

[[Your friend is almost dead.]]

...Sorry, what?

[[Is that what you needed help with? Your other friends had mentioned that two people in your company were split in two, but we only see one. The one we see may be too wounded to assist, unfortunately.]]

[[Most creatures do not survive long after being bisected, you understand.]]

Yeah the worms.. They speak like us, mentally, because they are a bit psychic and can't talk with mouths and the like. They are all called Victor, and is likely sensing Kate right now being bisected.

Hey Victors if you can hear us still she's alive because of a strange magical rune stitched on her insides, it's keeping her alive despite the fact she was bisected and.. slightly returned together.

Also the girl wants to trade for drugs, simple enough.

Victor, we don't care what type of magic you have to pull out your asses, just sew her synapses and stitch her flesh and get it done BEFORE the runes keeping her alive wear off. If there's interference preventing you from doing your regular psyker healing, tell us what you need.

Also, the guy in the safe house is a threat. Take spare parts from HIM. And get Jack some scar cream.

I don't think they're talking about Kate. Circle Victor is looking into the room and exactly opposite from Kate. Although triangle Victor is looking towards her general direction so maybe they are.

long story short, the short girl here was sliced in half but is being kept alive by some kind of ruin magic. She was patched back together but... yeah seeing someone who knows what they're doing would definitely help. Oh and there's also a pissed off burned alive snake person in the hotel room who kinda wants to kill everyone and also can't die. We're basally at this point trying to figure out how to end him because one he's in a shit ton of pain and two he kinda wants to kill all of us.

Oh and these are Vic 1, 2, 3, and Soo... I think, she never really gave us her name since we were kinda thrusted upon her. Anyways, the vics used to be one being but have split up when they got here and have some psychic abilities and are actually really nice and like to help. Kind of naive at times though. Soo is someone else who got stuck her and is basically just trying to tough it out until she can go home. Also here to trade for drugs.

Vics and Soo, this is Jack, Kate, and Nouille. Nouille's a local that is kinda in a bind and has been helping us out, Jack is someone who got through into this place's deep end with concrete shoes and is just trying to keep his head above the water while figuring this shit out. Kate is the nice girl that was capture by some kind of demon, ripped in half and is taking thing surprisingly well seeing all the shit she want through.

So yeah... welcome to the rock

well he's immortal, got magic immortality rune. so he's going to be stuck at "almost dead" instead of "all the way dead"

Do you worms know anything about rune magic? Also, can you still hear us directly?

[[That is correct. We were observing the Vir'Kos inside the room. We were unaware of the human girl 'Kate' being bisected.]]

[[This is the Kate? The helpful local must be the Vir'Kos, and Jack is a male name, which leaves only this one.]]

Fuck, back off!!

[[We are certainly sympathetic of her difficult predicament. However she does not seem to be under the sort of extreme physical duress that the creature inside the room is. She possesses sustained vital signs and a steady temperature.]]

[[The Vir'Kos inside has nearly gone cold. He is also very still.]]

Please!!!

I'm used to hearing voices inside my head, but I don't think Kate is taking this too well.

> Do you worms know anything about rune magic? Also, can you still hear us directly?
[[We do not have any affinity with, or knowledge of, magic in this place. The rules here are different. We are still able to utilize telekinesis, which we believe may be an innate physical ability rather than magic, although we could not explain how it works.]]

[[We also see the world differently, due to our nature. We do not have eyes, after all. We can see through and inside objects. We can also see you. Other then these abilities, we are sadly not magical.]]

Kate's getting freaked out a little. I don't know if she is holding up to tonight as well as she's letting on.

Well, we tried. Leave him alone, barricade the room further. Time to get this party started.

"Hey, Kate, I know it's weird but take a deep breath."
As for the snake dude in the room, yeah we need to put him out of his misery. I would've liked to save him but that's noooooot really an option now that he's gone fully hostile. Tried to kill our other snakey friend here.

If the guy is almost dead then the runes might have worn off, which would be bad news for Kate. We should all least check on them, see if they did or if Vic is misinterpreting and seeing him in his normal "almost dead" state. Also, when did the guy get his runes? Around the same time? Much earlier then Kate?

well, we should make sure he stays dead. cut his head off and pulp it.

I agree, Kate is barely hanging on by a thread, the only thing keeping her alive are these runes and I have no idea how they work. Whether they wear off- that's something worth finding out, right?

Kate, please calm down. It's okay, they're not going to hurt you. And you've seen weirder stuff today then a couple of talking worms.

I... I'm sorry, I'm trying to hold together, but I'm just fucking stressed out. This is so dumb of me. I'm not usually like this, I'm better then this, I'm sorry...!

Today's been a crazy day. I get it, I'm weirded out by all the shit that's going on too.

...This may be out of left field, but did you and the alien guy get those runes put on you at the same time?

...No? When the fucker, you know... put me in the chair. He was already in his.

So, he got rune'd before her then. Whether that was five minutes before or five hours, I don't know.

Hopefully he actually is weaker. Fingers crossed.

...I 'zink-

Hi, your friend's a little mopey and my Victors said everything was clear and I could come in so I wanted to talk about oh my god

...Well.
Okay things that might need seeing to-that cut on your chest, keeping the newb from panicing, and scrambling for an answer to someone who's bisected and soon to be feeling the results of being bisected.

Can't we just re-do the runes on Katie? Y'know, the ones already copied onto you?

okay now let's not lose our heads here. we need to stay sanguine about things. there's no reason to scream bloody murder. we just haven't fleshed out the details, so don't assume you'll meat a horrible fate.

>>800513
The way I see it, there are three scenarios: Let t* the time-mark when you can re-install the rune, let R be the time we attempt a re-install, let Z be some really long time frame that is not feasible for our purposes (like say, the time it takes for rigor mortis or rot to settle in), let t0 be the exact time Katie's rune expires, and t1, t2... tn be the times that Katie's future runes expire.
Scenario 1: t* <= t0
Best-case scenario, we can re-install this thing.
Scenario 2: t* = t0
We'd need explicit alien technologies to make the jump. We don't have that time right now, so this would be very bad.
Scenario 3: t* > t0 && t* < Z
If we have someone with her at all times, this could be doable. Even if the time frame is like a few nanoseconds, Victor's psychic abilities should be able to pinpoint the time frame and poke with lightning-speed reflexes. We're talking about brain worms here, they got this.
Scenario 4: t* < Z || t* -> infinity
Worst case scenario: we're @#$%ed. This means the rune CANNOT be re-installed, or more likely, Katie's body will have rotted away. This is the most likely scenario, as an immortality rune likely has limitations or regulations attached to prevent mass energy consumption or irrational political decisions.

Post-Scenario A: t(x) - t(x-1) dependent on t*
We'd need more data to confirm and analyze this, but it makes sense; these runes likely have side effects, one of which includes permanent body damage. I mean, she IS organically bisected right now.
Post Scenario B: n /-> infinity (number of times you can install this rune is limited)
Also worst-case. We'd need a new solution before the limit comes up.

>>800562
Seriously?

But in all honestly, I really don't want you to bury this guy. If the things underground smell corpses? Your base could go bye.

Place him on the roof, in a makeshift coffin. We can return his corpse to his clan later, they can do a viking funeral and put a hit on us later.

don't make an excuse "this is EXACTLY what it looks like"
hopefully this will confuse her. anyway tuime to leave, and hopefully we can just add a new rune when the old one wears off. maybe find something that can make her halves stick back together better.

>>800514
Dude was acting kinda stab happy after getting mutilated and was trying to kill her sister over here, so we were waiting for him to bleed out so we could put him down.

..Hey. That light's still on. You know what that means. Electricity. You know what that means? Your 'Mac' can get recharged while you're in here! uh, wipe off the outlet first, though.

And you should really tend to that chest gouge, while being thankful you can't feel it... yet. The inability to feel pain is a blessing and a curse.

Oh. Shit. When did I get this? ... That is a problem, if I can't feel these things. It doesn't look deep though. I think it'll be fine.

Wait. I should still feel pain. I didn't actually get that pain rune. I got the 'bleed everywhere' one.

>But in all honestly, I really don't want you to bury this guy. If the things underground smell corpses? Your base could go bye.
> ..Hey. That light's still on. You know what that means. Electricity. You know what that means? Your 'Mac' can get recharged while you're in here! uh, wipe off the outlet first, though.
You seriously still want to use this as home base? ... I mean sure, there's electricity, but goddamn, this is going to take some time to clean. Especially since we've got no water. Well, aside from the limited stuff I brought with me in the van. Is there even water here on this planet? Do we want to waste what little we've got?... We could just move our shit to the van. That'd be way easier.

>The way I see it, there are three scenarios...
You're missing something. I would prefer to get back home sometime, and as far as I know, scribbling stuff on your skin doesn't magically keep you alive on Earth. Even in your best case scenario, it's a temporary solution, unless she wants to live out the rest of her life in this place. Still. I hope that redrawing it will work, at least for the short term. That'd at least give us some breathing room.

Please! Calm down! It looks bad, I know. But he was choking... his friend. Nouille, the alien girl. We had to.

Uh... that is true. Well. He was... bleeding out, so we waited a while to let him... get weaker.

I can see where she's coming from. That sounds really bad when you put it like that.

Well, we had to kill him. Or else, uh, Nouille's family would have... killed her instead? I'm not entirely sure, that's how it was explained to me.

I 'zink she can fix your friend. I will need to maybe talk 'er into it, but it would be 'ze least I could do.

Oh- don't do that! Listen, dude, there's this really smart girl back at trench town. Like, she's not a doctor, but she's really really smart. She's kind of a bitch, but she's really smart. And, uhm... she'll figure something out.

Oh jeez conundrum time...Uhh...
Hrm.
The 'locals' is probably how Kate ended up bisected, but uhh, she's already in half, and that last guy was done up in the runes she's using to stay mobile so I feel like she doesn't have a choice.
That said...Jack doesn't HAVE to go with her, and it might not be a bad idea to split the party so to speak-Jack goes to see the green tounge-dude, while Kate gets healed by the local leech doctor.

>>801380
Soo Jung, you are literally throttling a giant psychic worm. He has the power to rip open a body, @#$% the hole, and move it around like a zombie while telekinetically holding dozens of corpses as meatshields. And even if he didn't have this power, he's still the second-in-command of an earlier client of ours, and if you killed him we'd get pissed and perform a spam attack of youtube drivel directly into your brain.

Why are you using him, of all people, to defend against her. Why do you honestly think he's less alien and even less crazy than the girl with the shaman stick and the... humanoid upper body. And a big cranium. Yes let's go with that.

>Nouille or Valentine
Just go with Nouille. There might be serious side effects due to Wyrd Reconstruction's incompatibility with humans, but considering how Bolo is likely to lick her forehead with aphrodisiac spit and @#$% her while she's doing something important, AGAIN, I figure by the time she can come up with a solution (or just come out of her drug-induced heat) Nouille will be finished with the surgery.

>[[I cannot do that.]]
Hey Soo, did you try working the shaft?

Let's split up, gang! Flat chests go see Valentine while the girls with curves go to the village. Nouille's tribe probably won't be pleased if she brings a whole bunch of outsiders at once and we desperately need some veteran dwellers' advice.

explain the problem isn't one even the best doctor in the world can fix. need to regrow bits of spine and flesh, and perhaps get some more blood. should get that blooding rune etched out and make sure the immortality rune isn't fading.

Can we talk directly in her head like before? Let's do that, tell her it's cool, we were there before, and the dead guy was a HUGE ASSHOLE who tried to kill our friend because she didn't kill him when he asked her to.

So wait, if Nouille's gaian'whatever can fix Kate, why didn't we take the other guy to her instead of killing him?

>>801619
Because she can't fix insanity. If anything, the surgical process would drive him into all-encompassing omnicidal hate.

Is that 'Kate'? I don't even see what her problem is. Is she sick or something?

See? I'm not throwing your idea out completely. I'd like to come back with you, see this 'trench town' for myself. Talk with your smart friend, maybe get a backup plan.

Wait, so, like, what's happening?

Nouille's going to take you to her village, if that's alright with her.

You're not coming with me?

We're going to split up for now, but Nouille will keep you safe, okay? She helped me bring you back in the first place, you know.

Actually- Nouille, could you open up your portal thing?

Ah... oui?

Should we shuffle anything around? I'm thinking about giving Kate my crowbar. I really want to keep her safe. Although Nouille's already got her spear... oh, and it might be worth grabbing something to trade if we're going into town, too.

>Can we talk directly in her head like before?
[[We could facilitate this. We could also transfer you to the local or 'Kate', if you'd prefer.]]

I updated the cheat sheet a bit, including everything that Jack and Nouille have on them right now.

https://tinyurl.com/zaa4pnt[/spoiler]

Kate takes the weapon, Jack takes the drugs. Could be useful barter. Best not to invite distrust by carrying a weapon in with you, you'll just have to improvise on site.

We'll go with you Kate, you need to acclimatise to the voices.

... So, do we bring Unoun's head, or something?

Nouille, do you have any teleport beacons? Something Jack could hold so you can create a portal that goes directly to his general vicinity.

Also make sure Katie can BREATHE in that space. Because suffocating can cause permanent brain damage, rune be damned.

And I vote we jump to Nouille's head, it's easier to communicate with the locals if our current character knows their language.

yeah, we should hang with kate so we can make sure the situation gets explained properly.

Can the Victor's talk to each other telepathically if they're split up? Since they're just one guy split into 3 and all. Then you could take one or two with each group like living walkie talkies.

So, vous etes- excuse me, you are with Jack's... 'clan'? I do not know if 'zat is 'ze right word?

Clan? Like, uh- family? Uhm, no...

And how does she even know English? Why the fuck is she French? And why are her tits so big, fuck, why would an alien even have tits? Everything's so fucking weird.

But Jack seems to take a liking to you, yes?

Well... he picked me out, so, yeah, that's kinda how it works.

I can answer that, her race has a kind of mind reading thing, hand starts glowing and puts it on your head. the last humans they met were probably french, she didn't know any english until she did that to jack, so she learned it from him.

breasts are a simple evolution thing, number and size are directly related to number and size of babies, cats, for example, have a lot of small babies so they have several small breasts. humans, and their monkey ancestors, usually have one large child, and the reason for two instead of one really big one is biological redundancy. basically, any mammals with large children will develop large breasts, and if they only have one at a time then they usually have one pair of them instead of like 4 or 8.

She knows english via some sort of telepathy trick she does through the hands I think. The figure...*shrugs* We lack information on that front. Could ask her, if you wanna know.

The French is because her native language sounded like French, so that's how Jack tried to communicate. Then she did some sort of mind reading thing while Jack was in the middle of trying to remember how to speak French, and ended up picking up some words from each language.

I don't know the first thing about her biology and can't think of any explanation for the tits. Low gravity probably has something to do with it.

Pssh, why would you have tits?

Look, basically, advanced intelligence is a huge problem when it comes to having kids. The mother's going to have to squeeze her baby out at a comparatively premature state of development, just so that it's head won't have grown so huge it'll kill her. You end up with an infant that's going to need to be carried everywhere and be fed some specialized easy-to-digest food for a long while, because it basically should still be inside her but can't be. Now, if you have arms like you both do, the most convenient place to carry a small child for a few hours at a time is there where you can just bend your elbow (first elbow, in her case) to support it against your chest. Which, in turn, means it would super convenient and useful to have both cushioning (to keep the mother and child comfortable in that position) and some method of keeping the child fed right there.

And then once all that has happened it becomes a secondary sexual characteristic and overdevelopment of it becomes a display to attract mates so over time they get bigger. There's a limit based on how much your body can support without strain but for various reasons to do with her body structure and likely evolutionary development I think she could support more weight at the front than a human. Plus her species has more body mass overall with that tail so the baby would be bigger and need more food and et cetera.

Thus, tits.

Okay, first of all, hello Katie. Since nobody else wants to do introductions, we're the voices in Jack's head. We guide him and give suggestions and such.

Anyway with that out of the way, let's talk tits. I don't have much to add but I looked back at that Christmas comic and there's another girl in the background in one panel. She's far away so it's tough to tell but she seems to be much less endowed. So Nouille seems to just be lucky and gifted boob-wise, it's not innate to the species.

Interesting thing to note, all of the other aliens, including the other girl, have blue skin, she's the only one who's yellow. So that's something to ask about.

>Extensive discussion about the origin of gag boobs
Hilarious. I'm supposed to be the weird one.

Important note, Katie: if you don't want us to rattle on about something unimportant and embarrassing for an extended period of time, DON'T BRING IT UP.

Now on to more pressing matters. Do you currently feel any pain or change in your abdominal bisection since you were tied down? This is probably a touchy subject, but we think it's pertinent that we get any information about your current condition. Remember, the snake people don't have trustful relationships with humans. If they're on the verge of making a medical error because of some common sense biology of theirs that does not apply to you, you're @#$%ed, so preventing that is a deep concern.

Trust us when we say all roads from here lead to big tits. Look, you woke up in a... torture dungeon thing, Jack literally traded his left nut for information, there was clearly some sexual deviant involved in writing the rules of this realm. (At least it's not Corruption of Champions.)
Moving right along, You and Jack were, strangers brought together by happenstance (and fifty bucks), in the wrong place at the right time. Your relationship doesn't go much further back than his and Nouille's.

Victor, are you still linked to Victor and Victor? Is there no latency over distance?

So, you're like, Jack's crazy skitsofrenia voices? Or are you like, his soul, and he's like a zombie right now? 'Cause I've got his thoughts, and his body's all durh hurh durrh.

Or is he just going crazy on that asian junkie chick? Like, just obsessing over sex, acting like an animal, all 'cause I mentioned big fat boobs?

Not like she has any for him to jump on.

[[No, he is entirely capable of operating independently. There are no cross-over impulses. He is fine.]]

So, like... do any of you guys understand what this worm dude is saying half the time? I mean, I'm not dumb, I got that, but, like, he's always fucking talking like that!

...Wait, did you guys say why she speaks my language? I totally lost everything in all that jumble of titty talk. How does Jack think straight with like a zillion voices shouting at him?

..."Titty talk"?

Oh, did I say that out loud? Fuck.

This is new to me. I've never had someone inside my head before. All this shit is new to me, I woke up fucking cut in two, so sue me!

You live with it for...How old is he again? You get used to it. Though normally he deals with a...Less helpful bunch of standard shizo-voices...Or something like that.

We apologize for such, we've gotten used to people able to discern the voices.. We can understand the worms quite fine and she has the ability to use some sort of semi-magical ability to understand people by touching their heads.

>How does Jack think straight with like a zillion voices shouting at him?
First off, our communication method is 'walkie-talkie'; Jack needs to spend a 'turn' talking or performing an action before we can start pouring information into his brain. Second, we're mainly text-to-speech users, so there's a maximum volume and it's all articulated clearly, though some of us try to send over images and stuff, but that doesn't usually work. Third, most of us have our own stuff to do, so usually you get less than a hundred voices shouting in your ear at one time, unless there's a connection error and we have time to rant and debate during a long pause between turns.

First question: Why did that asshole go to all this trouble just for your blood? He opened a dimension rift, portaled an entire room, and inscribed immortality and painkiller runes. Why would your blood be so damn... important...

... How do you feel about kids?

Just out of curiosity because we were on the subject of boobs earlier... Are your's real? They look damn good for someone with no bra on.

anything makes no sense just chant "it's magical bullshit"

>>804583
Its actually kind of interesting, he apparently doesn't hear any voices besides us since coming here.

Makes you wonder if there really were things talking to him that just didn't make the transition.

Honestly, Jack has been having a bit of trouble with us too recently, so make sure to cut him some slack if he acts a bit off the wall sometimes. We try to help whoever we're with, bit since all we can do is see and speak we end up talking up a lot and seeing what sticks.
Jack's also trying to come to grips with the fact that *other* people are now able to hear and talk with the voices that were in his head. After being told you have schizophrenia for your whole life, finding out the voices are "real" would fuck with you.

So Katie, basically everybody's got head voices. Like how earlier you were inner-monologuing about Jack. And you were kinda waffling back and forth, but even though you weren't exactly coming to an agreement, you understood the whole time that head voice was you, yes?

Some people have an inner dialogue, and have multiple voices that can actually disagree with each other, but they actually acknowledge those voices as aspects of their self. Sometimes one voice says "hey, that guy left his garage door open, you could steal his power tools!" and another head-voice says "sure I could, but that's stupid so I'm not gonna do it," but we get that both of those voices are still the same guy because they came from inside the same head.

Some people, though, don't take credit for those voices. They start believing them to be some consciousness outside themselves communicating with them. And when someone starts believing there are thoughts in their head that don't belong to them, that's schizophrenia, and it's a condition many people live with quite functionally.

And then there's us. I mean by that definition I gave earlier you might be schizophrenic too but I think this is an exception. So, hi! All this wandering from brain to brain is pretty hard on us too. At least we get to hang out with you beautiful ladies.

Heh. "Hard on."

Jack rationalizes the voices as schizophrenia as a coping mechanism. He's actually suffered from Protagonist Syndrome all his life, where terrible things happen to him but they only kill everyone around him. It's like that saying, 'May you live in interesting times.'

Oh I don't mind! They're talking about your big ol' titties, so I couldn't care less!

A- ah. I, uhm, I see...

But since you were asking about mine... does it matter if they're fake or not? They look good, right?

[[I am quite far from an expert in human psychology but evasiveness to a question often seems to imply a correct assertion has been made.]]

...Uhm, yeah. I'm not totally sure I followed that one but- that's, just, like, your fucking opinion?

...Okay, whatever. So, I don't really know anything about his head problems. Like, he didn't seem crazy yesterday so that's about all the history I've got with him, so I've got, like, nothing to add. But I'm not holding it against him or anything like that.

I literally owe him my life. Like, he may be a skinny bastard and he could totally do with packing on some muscle, but right now I would pay him to screw me. Not a lot of guys would stick their neck out for a hooker. So, whatever, I'm not gonna judge.

Besides, I gotta take care of my own problems. That's why we're going to this alien doctor dude, right? I can feel them inside me. The wood bits Jack put in there to hold me together. It doesn't hurt but I'm all rigid, and it's like pushing against my fucking insides and stuff.

But, I mean... I can't believe everything works anyway. That's like the only fucking thing holding me together right now. In more ways then one. When I was looking down and I didn't see my fucking legs...

Whatever! No harm, no foul, right guys? I'm gonna get fixed up, good as new, and then it'll be like nothing happened.

Depends on how well the doctors are. Though judging by the damage done, best case scenario would be you being all patched up but with TONS of obvious scarring. Better to not think about worst case.....

It's not that simple. Biomancers have a tendency to 'improve' their patients. Best case scenario, you end up with a snake tail. Worst case, they turn you into a @#$%ing garbage disposal bin or some other tool.

Have Victor keep a close eye on the doctor, make sure she doesn't go all Doctor Monroe on your ass. Literally.

... Unless you WANT to splice yourself with animal genes. We don't mind. Might make you sterile by incompatibility, so I doubt you want to do this option.

You seem to like poking fun at people, you were doing that a bit with Jack earlier. Not a problem, you do you, but you might want to lay off on the girl who is going to be asking her doctor/biomancer to work on you, and can easily ask for your lungs to be restitched to your asshole.

well, we don't really mind. besides, part of asking was because who knows, maybe the doctor guy can MAKE them real.

>>805117
Imagine the possibilities for novelty farting tricks at parties!

Nouille when Jack gets back you must apologize for cutting his torso from when you decapitated that guy.

I'm not poking fun! I'm just telling her the truth! God! ... Okay, whatever, I guess. I really don't wanna get a tail instead of my legs, my butt is, like, the best part of me.

Hey. Sorry if I, like, offended you or something. I was just kidding?

Oui, it is not a problem...

So, like... your, uhm, gay yan whatever, the doctor dude? He's okay with working on, like, humans, right? Like, he's not gonna try and put a snake tail on me or something weird like that, right?

...'Ze Gaian'fais'utoth is my mozzer. I can guarantee she will not put a 'snake tail' on you.

Besides, 'ze Gaian'fais'utoth is not who I am worried about.

Wait- wait, what the fuck's that supposed to mean exactly?

[[Ah, yes. That would be less then ideal.]]

Uh-...???

[[I apologize. I was responding to Nouille. She has been lost deep into thoughts of her own.]]

hey I know you guys are bonding and all of that good stuff right now but their's one of those pink blobs again excepts this time it is much bigger and it's eating the van at the bottom of the cliff... soooo if you guys want to deal with that their you go.

Damnit. I knew the van would get raided eventually.

Set it on fire before it dissolves the van. Victor, did you learn the pyrokinesis power yet?

That's a really big blob. Got any fire?

Everybody STOP! Our view suddenly jumped way out and we can see there's a hostile at the base of the cliff ahead of y'all. One of those anesthetic/paralytic slime blobs like the one Jack killed with a improvised aerosol can flamethrower. (Nouille, what's the name for them, again?) Except this one is GIGANTIC! And it looks like it has engulfed Jack's van completely.

Unfortunately, we don't have flamethrowers or fire bombs to deal with this turn of events, so what options do we have? Nouille, how do people 'round here put down or otherwise deal with these damn blobs when they get real threateningly big like this?

all we know about them is they hate fire. ask if anyone knows another way to kill them.

>>806103
Hey Nouile, Koth ahead, a big one!

...It's kinda cute, though. Like a big, fat, wobbly pink dog!

But if it's dangerous or whatever, then, whatever I guess.

Uhm, so, like, the voice guys are all shouting at me, telling me to, like, kill it with fire.

...'Zat is a big one. It would take many unoun to kill some'zing like zat. We would not use fire- the unoun would drown it, and 'zen kill 'ze brain.

Okay... but, like, fire works? They're all really shouty about that, they really seem to think it will.

It would explode and coat us all in residue. 'Zis would be bad, unless you want to slowly and helplessly starve to death in a heap on 'ze ground.

Oh.

Besides, I do not 'zink I have any'zing that would start a fire. 'Zat is not a 'zing my people use, we try to avoid fire.

[[To answer the previously posed question, I do not have pyrokinesis. Telepathy and telekinesis are the only abilities I have retained in this place. I suppose that theoretically I could press and rub two objects together to attempt to create a friction fire, but it would be no more or less effective than if either of these females did the same.]]

Okay? So... what do we do, then?

I... do not know. It likely smelled us from 'ze room, and now it knows we are close. We can maybe outrun it, but it would follow us, and I do not know where we could take it. 'Zey could kill it at 'ze camp, but I do not want that, 'ze attention would be... not good.

>>807504
The vehicle itself contains a large amount of combustible material, a variety of reactive chemicals, and some brands of igniter.

If the key is still in the ignition it would be a simple matter of using telekinesis to rotate it (assuming it can reach that far).

Er, there is a control mechanism that looks like a wheel and a column in the front seats. It is marginally visible. There's a key slot on the side. Even if the key isn't present, you should be able to just push the bolts up and rotate it, which should drive the battery and cause sparks.

You'll want to be behind cover if you try that.

yeah, get the van started and it would start getting hot. only problem is it has an air intake which is full of slime instead of air.

>>807506
addendum: If it's trying to eat the battery it make shock itself anyway and you may want to simply run as fast you can immediately before the whole thing goes up.

>It would explode and coat us all in residue.

Nothing simpler! You just need to cover yourselves up before the explosion. Dig up the ground, lie down and cover yourselves in a layer of dirt. Maybe take off your clothes and put them on top of yourselves as well, for a double layer of disposable protection. Since it's at the bottom of a cliff and you're at the top, most of the residue blast shouldn't fall in your direction anyway, as the shockwave will rebound and carry it in the opposite direction. What lands on your side shouldn't extend far, so you'll just need to push aside what lands on your dirt/clothes covering and then dig a trench until you get to clear ground.

Though I suppose you still have the problem of causing such a fire.

Hmm. Perhaps the van itself... maybe an electric spark from the battery. That's a Volkswagen type 2, right? The classic hippie mobile. That should have had the engine in the back, but the battery under the passenger seat, I think. It may not have gotten to it yet.

If those things are flammable then it's possible that when it gets into the battery compartment and bridges the connections itself, with the internal bubbles of the van's crevices for oxygen, it'll explode anyway. Which looks like it could happen...

... uh. Any moment now.

How about a big "No" to starting a fire?

1. We probably want to keep the van in one piece.
2. No reliable means of starting a large enough fire, especially from inside. Nobody watches "Mythbusters"? You DO realize how hard it can be to make something explode when it's not specifically primed to?
3. Probably no oxygen in the blob, therefore good luck starting a fire.
4. All the characters are saying "Hey that's a really stupid idea". This is usually a subtle hint from the author that it's a really stupid idea.

Fire is right out. Ask our party if anyone knows if there's anything poisonous to the blobs, anything distasteful, or anyone we don't like nearby we could lead the blob to?

Uhh dudes, if the van might explode at any moment, and that thing paralyzes whatever it touches even dead, maybe we should be I dunno, RUNNING FOR THE HILLS!?!

>>807515
I don't think the van will explode. Cars don't explode all that easily without help. Mythbusters demonstrates this time and time again. Cars are a lot harder to explode than you think.

>>807516
How many cars have been explosion-tested inside a highly reactive gelatinous cube?

>>807516

It technically wouldn't be the car exploding.

Combine Victor's telekinesis with Nouille's portal sorcery. Portals cause rifts in timespace, which Victor can manipulate to siphon excess force from the gravity shift. Use that to fly with two people.

>>807570
What? If all that worked, where would we fly to exactly? Although talking about Nouille's portal gives me an idea- can we hide from the boom in that? Victor, at the very least, could probably squeeze himself in.

[[The battery- I see it, or rather the electrical potential emanating from it. I believe it is engulfed and the 'koth' is eating through the plastic casing, but it has not yet eaten through the insulation encasing the reactive chemicals, nor the insulation encasing the wires. I could perhaps yank it free before it does so.]]

What is going on?

So like, everyone's telling me that the slime dude's gonna fucking explode in a 'sec after he, like, eats a battery in the car. Uhm, we're supposed to get under cover?

Oh- but 'ze cliff would protect us- ah, from 'ze residue. Yes, I can provide cover for 'zis, but- if 'ze koth explodes, at 'zat size- it would alert 'ze whole rock!

Which... might be a good thing! if 'ze Unoun investigate, 'zat would leave 'ze camp unguarded, which would make 'ze things to come much easier!

Or- perhaps it would draw attention right to us, and put 'zem on 'zeir guard...

[[I do not wish to rush any deliberations but I require an answer quickly, would you prefer I remove the battery or leave it in?]]

no such thing as bad publicity, kill it.

Can you dislodge it from the engine block without taking it out of the koth? The car might fare a little better that way, but leaving the camp unguarded sounds like a novel (if not necessarily good) idea. you'll need to get moving fast, though, so you aren't connected to the scene!

Blow it up.

Also now may be a bad time with the imminent explosion but can Nouille make a bigger portal? It looks like there's another cave/hole/whatever right on the edge of that one.

Take it out. If it explodes, it will attract more than civilians. If any Unoun die while lured in by something we could have stopped, that strains our reputation from "get away from me" to "forcefully reincarnate these inbred sociopaths".

Remove it.
If we want to blow it up, you can always just put it back.

Another vote to blow it. We have a problem, we have a solution.

Well 'zat was... violent. Are you okay, is any'zing broken?

Mnhfhpphmph!

Nouille, she can't exactly speak to reply when she's pressed firmly to your.. Breast like that.

That was one.. surprisingly incredible explosion for what amounts to a souped up engine? I guess the slime must've magnified it a bit.

Victor friends! You alright?

Do not resist the tiddy.
The tiddy is good.
The tiddy keeps you safe.
Tiddy is love.
Tiddy is life.

Motor boat! XD

The little koth over reacted to energy (fire) too. Worth keeping in mind that they'll go full meltdown with a bit of shock/fire, you never know when you need an explosion. Too bad they're so dangerous or it'd be worth finding and keeping one as a pet for a last resort

>>809115
Yeah, seems a waste otherwise.

Ew, a face full of bandages. Correct this at once and remove the offending intermediate!

The worm seems to have been flung clear by the explosion. Go looking for him, as any direction that is away from the explosion would be a good one to take right now!

Motor boat the alien and then find the magic worm.


This is my new favorite sentence.

Katie, stay calm. Please describe the shape, texture, resistance, and any squirming parts you feel in Nouille's breasts. If you feel any holes or worms, just crouch down into a fetal position and do not escape from the blanket, the goo is still flying out there.
