A Feast of Souls

“Justice? They are nothing but beasts, deserving nothing but complete extermination. They cannot fathom something complex like justice, nor do they deserve any kind of mercy. The only thing they deserve is the complete extinction I’ve already given them for daring to even exist, and you will not stop it.”

Your whole body shakes as he once again plunges deep into you, his crotch slapping against you one last time. As the orgasm washes over you, you let out a silent scream while your legs almost gives out from under you as you’re forced to stop your ride of Karn’s cock. He whines a bit as you do so and starts to weakly hump against you, but the awkward position make it hard to pick up any speed or rhythm.

I think you should go for a male body, you already have to many female bodies. And a red scaled one will be nice too, a good contrast to your original blue.

And for the love of Gods, don't transform while you are fucking him, please.

This new form is an excellent opportunity to fuck with Drago. Either we can be his long lost sibling or an younger version of the guy he is into. As much as I love the sibling farce we got to be green scale young Danus to maximize the chances of sex.

If it wasn't for Drago I would prefer a more discreet female form for the rare occasions Ema choose the subtle approach, but that seem an unlikely possibility with few adantages when compared to securing a new source of food.

Your legs finally give out, forcing Karn to hilt himself inside you as you slam into him, knocking him over the edge.

>Damn Ema, you really did fall for your sugar daddy, didn't you?
J-just because your mind w-went to him when you… um… it d-doesn’t’ mean anything… r-right?
>Ema, you fool! Don’t say someone’s name when you’re fucking someone else!
It kind of just happened in the heat of things! You didn’t mean to do it… hopefully he didn’t actually hear it. You don’t think he did… he seemed too focused on his own release to really notice.
>Karn-ivore.
You’ve already eaten… and gotten fed in the other way as well, so you’re in no need to eat him right now. You’ll eat him later… unless he noticed you moaning the wrong name, then you might just gobble him up real quick to skip all the awkwardness.

>Also did we de-bird during sex?
You de-birded before sex. Apparently, being in one form for too long is tiresome… besides, Karn’s hateboner for Vivi kind of went soft after all that running around and worrying for Oran.
>This will let us seduce Danus' son.
Hmm… another food source, huh? You have to wonder if he’s a pitcher or catcher… probably a pitcher, seeing how much of a manly man he is.
>Don't transform mid-coitus.
Of course not, that would be rude. Besides, you’re not sure what would happen if you transformed while he was inside you and you rather not experiment with that right now.

Speaking of experiments, you have a lot to do that’s actually important, don’t you?
-You need to bring whoever attacked your village to Justice…
-You might want to go to that Herbalist to ask about the three stones, the ones that strange person with Hugo’s mask asked you to get. Either to actually help it… or to get closer to it so you can enact Justice.
-You also need to check the library for information about Dalriver, your village.
-You need to eat the Baroness, too. She belongs in your tummy, after all.
-Oh, and it might be prudent to test out your new forms… especially the male one. You still have no idea how a male form really… feels.
-Also, where the heck are your clothes any-

>Give him a few more quick pumps just to show him who's boss.
He’s already started to go flaccid when you renew your mating of him, your movements quickly makes his member grow to full once again. You hear him whine a bit as he squirms under you, but he doesn’t try to stop you. Instead, he grabs a hold of your hips and starts to thrust against you, meeting you halfway each time you let yourself down onto him.
:KarnFoS: D-dammit Ema!

>We'll check the herbalist and library when we're clean and dressed.
Well, of course you’re going to get cleaned before you leave. You can’t very well go around town dripping with Karn’s virile seed, now can you?
>Library is better for shape shifting experimentation, less people watching.
You’re not going to go around shape shifting where someone might catch you without good reason. Besides, the testing you really wanted to do is… kind of private?
>Let's go and talk to that herbalist.
Getting to the bottom of who the fuck… or better yet, what the fuck those things are that attack your village is your highest priority! Right after riding the fuck out of Karn so he can feed you all his delicious seed!

:KarnFoS: Gah! W-where d-did you get all t-this energy from s-suddenly!? S-slow down!
:EmaFoS: Nope~
:KarnFoS: Fff… fuck…

>Eat him through your pussy and shoot him out of your nose.
…wait, can you even do that? You’re not sure you can actually get someone out from you after you’ve eaten them… especially from another entrance completely… not to mention you’re not sure how eating someone down there will even work!? It’s not like it’s connected to your stomach and- you know what, you’ll think about this later.
>That’s enough Ema, let him pull out.
By now the room is filled with the sound of his ballsack slapping against your tush, as well as his tired grunts each time he thrust against you. Maybe it’s for the best to let him rest for a bit…
:KarnFoS: H-hey! D-don’t freaking stop n-now!
Or not.
>If you hurt him too much, then he won’t want to do this with you anymore.
It’s clear that it isn’t hurting him… in fact, you’re pretty sure it has the opposite reaction. This is only confirmed when he forces you down on him, hilting you while his cock starts to throb inside you…

>Go look for your clothes, since you can’t exactly leave to go anywhere until you’re wearing something.
After your… feeding time, you leave Karn to get some rest while you clean yourself up. You still have no idea where your clothes are though, so you better find Oran and ask him where-

:TunuFoS: I… I s-still t-think I got another e-egg in me…
:OranFoS: T-that’s w-what y-you said t-the last t-two eggs! C-can’t w-we just snuggle or s-something instead!? I d-don’t think I c-can… h-handle… ah…
:TunuFoS: We’ll snuggle after y-you’re full. Now b-be a good incubator and t-take this… mmm… egg~
:OranFoS: Ngg… FUCK! Ah… ah… ngg… f-fuck… ah…
:TunuFoS: Ah… t-that was… oh… I… I t-think I feel another egg…
:OranFoS: *Incoherent gibberish*

…or maybe you’ll just give him some privacy for now. Now, let’s think… where would Oran put your clothes? Where do you usually have clothes? In a dresser? Or a closet… wait, weren’t there a closet right outside his lab? Duh… of course…

-----------------

:EmaFoS: Nice, my old clothes fit on this new form of mine. Well, mostly… kind of tight in places but…
:KarnFoS: W-wait, who is that!? Did y-you… um…
:EmaFoS: I can make forms from parts of what others have fed me through sex… like you just did.
:KarnFoS: …so that’s… me? Wait, those scales… you didn’t… Danus?
:EmaFoS: Maybe~
:KarnFoS: Really… so I got sloppy seconds to that old man, huh?
:EmaFoS: He’s not some old man, you jerk.
:KarnFoS: Sorry… and… um… can you change back to Ema? It’s kind of creepy seeing someone that… kind of looks like me like that?
:EmaFoS: As soon as I’m done feeling it out…

>Oh, ask Karn if he has any male clothes to spare, you could use some later for your male form.
:KarnFoS: Huh? I can’t just give away a bunch of clothes. Besides, I only got one pair over here at Oran’s place anyway.
:EmaFoS: …why do you have a pair of clothes at his place anyway?
:KarnFoS: Because I use his guest room from time to time? And it’s not that uncommon that he spill his liquids all over my chest either.
:EmaFoS: *snrk*
:KarnFoS: You know I meant his potions, Ema, no need to be childish. So… what’ his name anyway?
:EmaFoS: Huh?
:KarnFoS: This new form? You can’t go around being called Ema, right?

>Sounds of Oran and Tunu having sex.
Sounds like he’s not a virgin anymore. But you did kind of imply to Karn that you’d have sex with Oran, so next time you should be ready to fuck him.

.....although judging by what you’re hearing in there, you might have to wait a while before Oran will be ready for you, he’s gonna be way too sore for sex anytime soon.

>He’s not some old man, you jerk.
Further defend Danus by stating that any girl would be lucky to have him, they just need to get their heads out of their asses about his age.

Also, let Karn know that Danus obviously doesn’t know about what you are, so yeah, don’t mention anything to him.

>can you change back to Ema? It’s kind of creepy seeing someone that…kind of looks like me like that?
Joke with Karn about telling everyone that you and him are distant cousins to explain why you sorta look like each other. Of course, you’re not actually going to do that, since it’s doubtful anyone would believe it.

>Name for new form?
Joke with Karn about combining his name and Danus’ name. But then be serious and state your new form’s name will be Elric.

So, what’s Karn going to do, wait here for Oran or go somewhere else? Or is he going to follow you because he’s still suspicious of you?

And this should be obvious but wherever you decide to go don’t forget your swords!

You only promised him to give Oran a good time… which he apparently are currently having. Of course, you might just fuck Oran later anyway to feed yourself…

>Further defend Danus by stating that any girl would be lucky to have him, they just need to get their heads out of their asses about his age.

:EmaFoS: …yes?
:KarnFoS: Why wou- you know what, I don’t want to know. Let’s just go.

--------------

The two of you head of too one of the city gates, discussing the festival as you walk. Apparently, he is looking forward to trying out some of the more exotic foods there later. You pass the gate and find yourself outside the city walls, a small sign directing you to an even smaller path are the only indication that this herbalist lives out here and that it’s not just an endless sea of wilderness. As you start to walk down the path you meet someone coming from the other way…

…it’s the man of the night, the one who promised to help you with that guard. As he sees you surprise flashes across his face, which is quickly replaced by a smile of pure malice. He tries to hide it, but you saw it, you’re certain of it.

:FoodFoS: Oh, greetings.

A small hut, not much bigger than your old room, is all that is out here. As you enter, the smell of herbs and species almost drowns you, the air filled with a thick haze of barely noticeable smoke. Before you even have time to adjust yourself, an old Hiver lady walks up to you.

:KrinkaFoS: Ah! Welcome! Welcome! I am Kr’inka, how can I be of assistance?

The last icon in the last update was supposed to be Kr’inka, our new lady bug friend, not Karn, obviously. Sorry for that error.

W-wait, y-you can’t… but… w-what if… but… you… err… b-better safe than s-sorry, r-right? Right…
>We will have to keep an eye for that meat. I am not going to bother not calling him meat, his soul is starting to get wicked, so might as well.
He is clearly up to something… and is slowly becoming food, so it can’t be good. You just need to hope it isn’t something dangerous.

>Ask the herbalist about him.
:KrinkaFoS: Eh? Oh, the other gentleman? Why, I’m not someone to intrude on others privacy, young lady, but I can tell you he often visit me to buy work related products. I’m a lot cheaper than the stores inside the walls, after all, seeing as I produce my own stock, hihi.
>We have a common friend, herbalist.
:KrinkaFoS: A common friend? And who might that be, dear?
:EmaFoS: What was its name again… Yate? Odd fellow with a mask?
:KrinkaFoS: Oh! Yate! Why, yes, I know who she is. Why, that girl helped me something fierce just a while back… … …or is he a boy? I’m not entirely sure…
:EmaFoS: It helped you?
:KrinkaFoS: Why yes. If it wasn’t for her… um… him, I wouldn’t have my home anymore. He even gave me these nice smelling statuettes that she claimed would protect me further, though I don’t believe they are anything but nice looking trinkets, to be honest.
:EmaFoS: Those statues with the weird marks on them? They are odd... though I can’t shake the… no matter, that’s not why I’m here. It told me to ask you about some stones that are of great importance.
:KrinkaFoS: Stones? Oh, right, those silly things! I’ll be right back, dear… I’ll just need to get some things… and your tea, of course.

Kr’inka hurries away and disappears into a small cubbyhole, which you can only guess is her… kitchen? You just stand there for several minutes, waiting for her in awkward silence before finally Karn speaks up…

:KarnFoS: So… stones?
:EmaFoS: I have no idea either, but apparently someone that knows what happened to my home wants them.
:KarnFoS: So you want to trade them for information.
:EmaFoS: In a sense. I have a feeling that keeping it… happy might be helpful, even if it is only to get close to it before I strike.
:KarnFoS: You know, I’m starting to regret coming with you. I really don’t want to get tied up with… whatever it is you’re actually doing.
:KrinkaFoS: Do the young gentleman want some tea as well? Not the same tea, of course, but something to sooth your thirst a bit?
:KarnFoS: Err… sure?

The old Hiver lady returns with tree cups of tea, one clearly marked for your consummation, and a small scroll under one of her arms. She hands over the tea to you, a greenish slurry that faintly smell of nature. You take a small sip of it, it extremely bitter taste almost makes you spit it out again but you manage to force it down. What is this, concentrated bitterleaf or something??

:KrinkaFoS: Don’t worry, dear, the bitterness will disappear after a few sips.

She then hands you the scroll, which is filled with markings and text that you don’t think you fully understand. With her guidance, you do manage to find something about… what you assume is the rocks you’re looking for? They are more like eggs, actually…

:KrinkaFoS: Look here, dear. There are three stones, one red, one blue and one green. According to Yate they should still be somewhere nearby, somewhere in the barony, at least.
:EmaFoS: So… what are they?
:KrinkaFoS: I’m not sure… all I know is that they supposedly contain a massive amount of energy… one that is growing every day.
:EmaFoS: So they are some kind of… power storage?
:KarnFoS: Or a weapon.
:EmaFoS: …or some kind of weapon, yeah…
:KrinkaFoS: A weapon? Oh, why dear, I wouldn’t think so. Why, Yate has such distaste for violence, he wouldn’t hurt a fly! Why would she want a weapon?
:EmaFoS: …then what are these? Individual progenitor? What does that even mean? Forge for… what kind of components? Hmm…

What’s the matter? Are you upset that you can’t have kids? I mean, you can ask your swords about that, but I doubt they’d have an answer for you. Or you won’t like the answer they give you.

>Does that mean they’re in the Baroness’ home?
While that would be the center of the barony, true, you don’t she meant it like that. The barony is the city and all the smaller settlements around it. Technically, Dalriver is even part of the barony, mostly because it’s in the middle of nowhere and it’s the closes thing to pay taxes to. Though, you’re sure she meant near the city…
>What’s the matter? Are you upset that you can’t have kids?
It’s just… while you haven’t really… well… when the option suddenly disappears you can’t help to… … …you kind of had this fantasy that you would settle down with a nice man and have a child or two and… um…

>Ask if she knows of the approximate locations of any of the stones.
:KrinkaFoS: I do believe they are in the city… or close to it. What I know so far is that they were in a small town called Dalriver about ten years ago, but they were lost after that.
:EmaFoS: They were at Dalriver!?
:KrinkaFoS: Indeed, dear. I still don’t know what actually happened there, but I have tracked down some people that might.
:EmaFoS: You found a survivor?
:KrinkaFoS: Not exactly. I do know that there was a caravan of nomads there just before the town was razed… and there’s still a thriving community of Uredo there that might know something. In fact, I believe there might be an Uredo from there living here. I was going to ask around in the parks, but I haven’t had the time.
:EmaFoS: Hmm…
:KrinkaFoS: Oh, and supposedly someone survived the attack, but I haven’t been able to find out what happened to them.

>I am going to suppose that they told you why they want these stones?
:KrinkaFoS: Why, dear, he did. In a way, that is. She needs it to ensure his kind future… and to quell her kinds rage and lust for vengeance.
:EmaFoS: Quell their rage? Doesn’t sound like a weapon, then…
:KarnFoS: Unless it’s a weapon that kills everyone that makes them angry.
:KrinkaFoS: Nonsense! Yate wouldn’t hurt a fly! It’s clearly something dear to them and not some… mean thing!
>Has it told you, by any chance what he thinks of sakkilians?
:KrinkaFoS: Sakkilians? Why, dear, I don’t believe he has. I don’t believe the young lass has any ill will towards any kind… though, he is a bit… skeptical of most people.

>uh, ma'am, your blue statue is doing some kind of happy dance.
:KrinkaFoS: Huh? What stat-

Before she can even turn around, the small statue topples over and hits one of the bottles on the shelf, making it fall off. The bottle smashes into the hard stone floor, splitting into a thousand pieces and splashing the liquid inside all over the room.

:KrinkaFoS: Oh no, my stream nectar extract. Well, I guess it isn’t too bad, I was going to need to gather more of it soon anyway. Though, now we can say for certain that those statues don’t really protect my humble abode, hihi.
:KarnFoS: I do hope it isn’t too much of bother?
:KrinkaFoS: Don’t worry, I was planning to take a stroll through the woods anyway. Now I only have a place to actually go to, hihi. So… was it anything else, dear? Otherwise… well, I have a stream to visit, hmm? Right after I clean this up, that is…

Anyway, let's go to our next stop. I think we should see if we can find that prostidude to schedule an appointment with the guard. That's probably the nasty thing he was thinking about, you know. How we'd get rid of her for him.

That would be a good meal for the day, AND we might be able to use her form to get access to the Duchess, or at least access to someone whose form could get to her.

But I forgot, this is still the same day as the end of last thread. So the guard should be eaten tomorrow.

As much as you want to eat random household objects, you’re not putting something covered in spines into your mouth… unless it’s some kind of cock, but that’s another subject entirely. Besides, you can’t help but feel that ALL HAIL THE KAKTUS! GLORY TO THE KAKTUS! I PLEDGE MYSELF TO THE KAKTUS AND GIVE MY FIRST BORE WATER CAN TO HIS MAGNIFICENT!

Yeah, like that will ever happen. Besides, it’s probably have some horrid clause before it can activate… like forcing you to go on a dangerous adventure… or eat all your friends or… or… *Gasp* clean… your… room! …wait, you don’t have a room anymore…
>I wonder if we should find all three stones then destroy them.
You still have no idea what they do… or what they might do if harmed… or if they can even be harmed! You better figure that out before you do something stupid and blow up the whole barony or something.

>I think we should see if we can find that prostidude to schedule an appointment with the guard. That's probably the nasty thing he was thinking about, you know. How we'd get rid of her for him.

You’re not sure if you get enough protein through those means yet… but you already ate Tana just an hour ago so you won’t need to eat for a while… though, if you ever get in the mood for a snack… well, Karn is right there…

:KrinkaFoS: One of the parks would be the most prudent places to look for it, dear.

>This has been very insightful indeed, thank you ma'am. We'll let you to it then, we'll see you later.

You and Karn help the Hiver clean up the mess that little statue made. It just takes a few seconds for the three of you to remove the broken glass and liquid from the floor, but it does give an ample opportunity to get close enough to the old lady to smell her soul. It’s a pure one, might even be purer than Drago’s in fact, which means you want to protect her, not… well… harm her.

After that small distraction, she bids you farewell as the two of you leave. As you start walking on the path back to the city, you can see her lock up her hut, put up a small sign stating “out gathering reagent in the forest” before disappearing into the forest herself.

The two of you wanders back in silence for a minute or two…

:KarnFoS: So… what exactly is-

All the sudden the smell of blood and evil hit your nostrils. Out of instinct you tackle him into the underbrush, hiding the both of you form anyone walking the path you were on.

:KarnFoS: GAH!

You put a finger to his snout to silence him and he cease struggling to give you a questioning look. You don’t need to answer as the things you smelled, the corruption and darkness, comes marching down the path from the city. There is at least six of them, maybe seven… all of them wearing guards uniforms of different kinds… all of them corrupt… and tasty…

:TerrozaFoS: -and remember, not a word.
:NonFoS: Yes, yes, this isn’t official business, we know.
:NonFoS: So, what are we looking for anyway?
:TerrozaFoS: Those two fucking asshole twins are looking for some fucking magical stones… and I’ve had an informant tell me this bitch out in the woods know something about them.
:NonFoS: So we loot her place, find these stones and burn it to the ground?
:NonFoS: Do we need her alive?
:TerrozaFoS: Only to get information out of her.
:NonFoS: Ha! It will be easy to beat out any information from an old hag like her! Then we can just throw her into the fire and watch her scream!
:TerrozaFoS: HAR HAR! Grand idea! Oh! And I almost forgot. There will be some blue bitch there as well. I want her alive… so I can break her fucking neck, you hear?
:NonFoS: Blue one is the bosses kill, got it.
:NonFoS: And if there is anyone else there?
:TerrozaFoS: Then we’ll simply cut of their fucking head and blame them for the fire! Har har!

Let Karn open his mouth again, see if there's something important he wants to say. Explain that's more you can have on your plate at once, definitely in a literal sense and maybe in a figurative sense. If he has any bright ideas you'd like to hear them.

Man it's almost like wasteful to have to kill and not eat five out of six would-be grandma-killers. Any ideas on saving some for later? Could you spook them off if you eat the guard captain?

Whisper to Karn that you can’t let them kill that lady, so you’re going to go take care of them, nobody’s going to miss some corrupt guards, right? Then tell him that he should leave so he doesn’t get caught in the middle of this.

>I’ve had an informant tell me this bitch out in the woods know something about them.
And warn Karn about that red male Sakkilian you passed earlier is this lady’s infomant and how he’s one of his and Oran’s customers for that potion they were selling. Since that guy knows about him and Oran, he should be careful on his way back into town.

It’s too bad you already ate Tana earlier, now you can’t eat any of these guys without the risk of making it harder to satisfy your hunger later. You’ll have to try and take these guys out with your swords.

Good advice. But the question is, can Ema stay in that form long enough to finish the fight?

Ema said that being in one form for too long is tiresome, so I’m not sure what would happen if she changes back in the middle of a fight. Because if she ends up too tired to continue fighting, that will be a problem!

.....hey, did we gain any new Elder Wraith powers from eating again? Or maybe some new memories from past lives that could help right now? It’d be very helpful if one of our past lives was a ninja and we suddenly got their skills on how to be stealthy right now!

time to sneak, switch to whatever form you have that is the sneakiest. Pick them off one by one if you can. If that's not possible then try to ambush them to take a few out before the fight really begins. Don't be afraid to use hit and run tactics to try and scatter them if you can.

No. 904787 ID: 79eaac

Stay hidden. Try to make some small noises - rustle some leaves, et cetera - enough to get some attention. If three or fewer come to investigate, move back a bit and continue the noise until you can get easy, silent kills (two for you with your paralysis powers, one for Karn). Pull the bodies into the brush, maybe eat one for good measure, then move in to take care of the rest - the plan'll have to develop from there.
If more decide to investigate, you make yourself apparent (preferably by getting a kill or two) in Gev form as a distraction for Karn. As they chase you, he could get a few kills in if he gets a good surprise, at which you can turn around and begin fighting them yourself.

I wonder if you could shape-shift mid-combat as a distraction. You should try that if things go loud.

Don't just charge, there are four of them. They are going to search the empty, hut attacking then will improve our chances of eliminating one before they can surround us.
Vivian form will fulfill the description of a "blue bitch" and carry a reputation. This could be useful...

"Karn, prove that your swordsman techniques aren't just for show, help me save Krinka from an unjust demise. Once I start the conflict I need you to engage one of them separately."

Since they expect your presence and only Yate knew we would be looking for stones. If this is just a trap than the search itself may be just a goose chase.

Oh man I somehow didn't even read that she left and locked up shop. That gives you a whole new avenue in dealing with them, you can wait for them to split up into the woods and pick one of them off as you like.

Alright, since you're fighting a group the best thing you can do is try to pick them off one by one. They're searching for someone so they'll split up, which means this should be possible. Heck, you might even be able to manage it if they split into pairs, since you're good at swords now.

Also remember you already ate today. So just kill them all.
...wait, how would she know you'd be there? Yeah I guess it's pretty much guaranteed that the prostidude sold you out. How about we eat him tomorrow then? Or maybe we can get him to give us a lead on how to reach the Baroness.

:KarnFoS: What? Of course they are going to miss them! They are guards!
:EmaFoS: But they are evil guards!
:KarnFoS: They don’t know that! If you kill these people, someone will come looking eventually… and I’m pretty sure you’re not good enough to cover your tracks to not get into trouble… or get that old lady in trouble.
:EmaFoS: So I have to kill them without leaving any evidence, eh?
:KarnFoS: That’s not what I said at all!
>Spit up your swords.
You put your hand into your maw and pull out your long sword.
:KarnFoS: …I was expecting something disgusting, you know, but you made it actually look like you’re just some sword swallower or something…
:EmaFoS: Heh, maybe I should join the circus!
:KarnFoS: Circuses deal with fake monsters, not real ones.

:KarnFoS: Of course not! A normal person don’t go around the city with a sword on their hip… or inside them.
:EmaFoS: But you’re a-
:KarnFoS: I’m a man. If the guard caught me walking around with a weapon they’ll probably put me under house arrest or something for suffering manly hysteria or something.
:EmaFoS: So… no sword, then?
:KarnFoS: No sword.

:EmaFoS: Good boy.
:KarnFoS: You owe me for this!
And with that, Karn disappear into the wood in the same direction as Krinka.


>They're loud enough to quickly sneak behind and strike.
While you can probably strike one down before the rest can react, fighting six trained swordsman alone is suicide, no matter how good a swordsman you are.
>We need to take them one by one.
Hmm… but first you need to split them up somehow… but how?
>Try to make some small noises - rustle some leaves, et cetera - enough to get some attention.
You rustle some leaves… but they ignore it, thinking that it’s just the wind.
You crack a stick… but they ignore it, thinking that it’s just some small animal.
You almost try something even louder, but think better of it, as it would probably be to obvious that someone is hiding it the bushes. Still, how are you supposed to get them to split up if you can’t-

:NonFoS: She doesn’t seem to be home?
:NonFoS: Let’s break in and start trashing the place!
:TerrozaFoS: No. Going by the sign and that the lights are still on, she can’t be far away. We find her first before we do anything else.
:NonFoS: But… why do we care if-
:TerrozaFoS: Because if she comes back and see someone breaking into her home she’ll run for the guard. We really don’t want the other guards here right now. To many questions.
:NonFoS: Right, so… we just go into the woods then?
:TerrozaFoS: We split up. Hana, Katrina, you’re with me. We’ll check by the old big rock, there’s a bunch of herbs and shit there. Elizabeth, Freya, check by the stream. There’s a bunch of shrooms there as well.
:NonFoS: Ma’am!
:NonFoS: And what about me?
:TerrozaFoS: You’ll stay here, Tsui, in case she comes back. Oh, and try to see if you can get inside her house… without leaving a bunch of evidence of a break in!
:NonFoS: Sure, sure… I’ll see what I can do…
:TerrozaFoS: Move out people! Let’s find that old hag and make her wish she was never born! HAR HAR!
:NonFoS: …hmm… hey, isn’t that window open?

>Whatever you do, don't let them see your base form- I'd suggest using the bandit form.
The bandit form is the most easy to discard later… but Vivi’s form would also be useful. Of course, if they don’t come out of this alive, it won’t really matter what they see, will it?
>But the question is, can Ema stay in that form long enough to finish the fight?
You can stay in your form long enough for it not to be a real concern. It’s more annoying than actually troublesome to stay in one for more than an hour, but after that… well, you’re not sure…
>...hey, did we gain any new Elder Wraith powers from eating again?
While you didn’t get any new powers, you seem to remember more and more of your past lives. How to wield your weapons, how to move without a sound and… well, even incorporating your… other weapons with your fighting style.

:NonFoS: Tsui, you’re a genius! You’ll just crawl in and unlock the door!

>Hey, I guess that statue protected her after all. Since she had to leave to get more of that stuff that spilled, she won’t be at her hut when these guys arrive there!
In a certain way, that is true. So, Yate really did help her, then? Hmm…
>Since they expect your presence and only Yate knew we would be looking for stones.
But why would he send you to someone he wanted to protect if he wanted you dead? Wouldn’t it be easier to just send you somewhere else?
>Her orders probably come from a very important person, probably the baroness.
Terroza or what her name is did mention the Twins… the same Twins Vivi mentioned, maybe? Who are these Twins anyway?
>I guess it's pretty much guaranteed that the prostidude sold you out.
Definitely. They were probably planning it from the start. That teach you from accepting murder plans from strangers on the street…

:NonFoS: Almost… almost… so close…

>You’ll have to try and take these guys out with your swords.
Hmm… Karn was right, leaving a bunch of bodies around will draw unwanted attention towards you… or at least the old lady. You have no idea how to hide a bunch of bodies… or how to clean up after them. Can you take them out without leaving a bunch of bodies, body part and blood around? You guess you might at least remove the last two if you manage to take them all out stealthily, but even then… hmm…
>It’s too bad you already ate Tana earlier, now you can’t eat any of these guys without the risk of making it harder to satisfy your hunger later.
Dammit, why do have to be on some stupid diet! You just want to eat some bad people, is that too much to ask!?

No matter, you need to decide who to go after first. The leader? The two that went the same way as Karn and the old lady? …or the one that’s alone and… um…

:NonFOS: Gah, come on… fit!

…apparently stuck in a window? Okay…? This might a bit too… easy?

>Man it's almost like wasteful to have to kill and not eat five out of six would-be grandma-killers.
It’s a massive waste! You can’t just… just… leave them around, uneaten, can you!? Gah… one of them is right there even, stuck and just ready to be eaten and everything!
>Any ideas on saving some for later?
Maybe you can tie them up or something… but where are you supposed to keep them? You can’t very well carry around six people just like that… and you don’t think the herbalist wants them at her place either. Dammit, why can’t you just put them in your pocket for later? You know, like your sword, which you can just put in your mouth and… err… wait a second…

Well, you CAN put them in your belly without eating them, but you will be probably tempted to eat them once they are inside you, and taht is no good, the swords told us that. The one you REALLY want to ate is the boss, the big red one. That is the most tasty, and the bigest, you will be ably to make lots of bodys with big she is. But abot this idiot here... Well she is a snake, and snakes are very flexible and slipery. I say we break her neck, and hide the body somewhere. And them we need to go for the ones that went where the herbalist and Kharn are. Her protection is our top priority.

I would be funny if you swallow all of them and vomit in Oran's basement. Probable won't be able to take all of them alive, but you have a good chance of getting two: this dumbass stuck in the window and whoever you use your paralyzing touch.
You can stab the guards in the forest and swallow their corpses. Don't do this with this window snake, if blood is left around the hut you may cause problems for Krinka.

After a quick snack go after the two that went the same way as Karn and the old lady.

All of that sounds useful right now.

Really? Could you give us an example?

>How to get rid of them without leaving evidence?
Actually, didn’t your swords tell you that you need to eat living people to eat their souls? If you eat dead people, there probably won’t be any risk of needing to eat more people to satisfy your hunger later. In fact, it’ll be almost like that time you had to dispose of those scraps of your clothing that you ripped out of back in Vivian’s office, you’ll be able to dispose of the bodies the same way!

Except for the big red lady, I think you should just eat her and take her soul.....if you get hungry by the time you get to her.

>Gah, come on…fit!
.....I didn’t think it was possible for a Serpent to get fat. So this is actually pretty funny to look at! XD

Just paralyze her, snap her neck, then eat her corpse to hide the body. No soul, should mean no risk of needing to eat more to satisfy your hunger later!

Ah! You don't immediately digest people you eat! That's how we get out of this without becoming a glutton. You have to kill them, stuff them in your face, then avoid digesting them. Maybe use some rope if you're not sure if you can puke them out without it.

Or... hang on, ask the swords if there will be any problems from eating corpses. You only get anything from eating them alive, right?

>Really? Could you give us an example of new fighting moves?
Sword pummel to the face to daze them, shove them into mouth before they recover and then disarm them as you gulp them down. Easy meal… in theory, at least…
>However you deal with this one, whether it be swallow and save for later or neck snapping, don't spill any blood on Krinka's property. Too many questions will be asked about her.
That’s the problem, isn’t it? You can’t leave evidence that you killed them here… especially not blood… or corpses. It’s easier to move corpses, sure, but still…

>Ask the swords if there will be any problems from eating corpses. You only get anything from eating them alive, right?
:SwordFoS: You will not gain anything from eating the dead, no.
:EmaFoS: Sweet, then I’ll just snap her neck and-
:SwordFoS: But you’ll have trouble getting them down whole.
:EmaFoS: …wait, what? Why?
:SwordFoS: Do you not still to chew your food? Did you not need to break apart your old clothes to eat?
:EmaFoS: But… I mean… I guess?
:SwordFoS: The magic that let you consume larger things only work on those that is filled with magic… that is to say life essence. The dead, at least the one that have ceased to move, are not full of that, are they?
:EmaFoS: But… I ate you?
:SwordFoS: Am I not alive?
:EmaFoS: …I… guess?
:SwordFoS: You can still eat their corpses, if you take your time to cut them down into pieces first. While you need life essence to consume anything larger than yourself, you can still consume rather large chunk of their corpses, like their heads, without it.
:EmaFoS: Rats… then… hmm… and if I eat them all?
:SwordFoS: The more you digest, the hungrier you will get. Just eating them will do nothing… if your will is strong enough to not engulf yourself with gluttony.
:EmaFoS: So… sooner or later I will need to eat armies?
:SwordFoS: In time, yes… though, this place reeks of corruption and easy meals… and if you actually try to bring Justice to those that wronged you, it might not even have time to become a problem.
:EmaFoS: Still…

So you can either snap her neck and hide her corpse for later, to either bury or butcher for eating…
Or you can just gobble her down now and try and not digest her?

Either way, you need to hurry up so you can catch up with those that went toward the stream before they find Krinka and Karn.

I'd say you have some good practice not eating things. I mean, despite having that episode when you saw the Baroness you didn't attack anyone while you were hallucinating. Let's try it. Swallow this one without digesting.

At some point you're gonna have to puke them back up and kill them all at some place where it's easy to dispose of them. Hmm, I wonder if Oran has some alchemical way of disposing of a body without a trace?

Can’t you just swallow her until her head is sticking out of your mouth, then you just snap her neck? That would make it easier to get rid of her corpse and not have to worry about the risk of getting really hungry later or having to hide her body.

Or can’t you just eat her alive and then kill her by stabbing yourself with your sword? After all, you found that you can’t be killed by your own swords, so that would work, right?

And unless you want to listen this Serpent talking the entire time you’ve got her in you, might want to kill her because that’s just very distracting.

Yeah, the sword idea sounds good. Remember, you can't spell Diet without -

Actually, let's go a step further. After consuming her, take on Vivian's form, then stab yourself in the gut, shimmy it up and down so it gets over you, and call for help. The guards immediately come back, and you blame them for murdering Vivi. While the guards are arguing over who did what, roll away quietly, switch to a different form, take off your undershirt, and stealth away as Tana.

If the life energy gets digested when you impale them instead of stomach acidity, just swallow and run, then regurgitate and stab.

You’re pretty sure you can just tune her out… and she’s bound to shut up if you don’t answer back, right? It’s not like she can know if you can hear her or not.
>I think you guys are missing the fact that the "The more you digest, the hungrier you will get" line is in relation to eating all of them.
That’s only if you actually digest them, not just eat them. You can always just spit them out later.

See, you’re sure you won’t have any trouble putting them all in your belly without actually absorbing them. You’ll just spit them out later… or… hmm… you can just leave them there until later, when you actually get hungry? Just imagine, not having hunt bad people every time you get hungry, instead just digest one of them that’s already inside you? So much simpler… then, maybe just this once, you can just absorb them all in celebration that you-

>Can’t you just swallow her until her head is sticking out of your mouth, then you just snap her neck?
:SwordFoS: … … …um… well…
:EmaFoS: …wait, did you just hesitate? You don’t know what will happen, do you?
:SwordFoS: No one has ever tried something like that. Most just kill with the swords or eat, not both at once.
:EmaFoS: So it might work?
:SwordFoS: Might work, yes. But the problematic part is that life essence don’t simply cease when you die. It has to go somewhere. So the question is, will it simply exit into the void through the head, will you absorb it as if you digested the body or will it simply get stuck in the now dead body for a while longer? Not to mention how you will react to it? Will you simply swallow the corpse as soulless matter, will you swallow it like a body with a soul or will it violently exit your body through your chest captivity, forcing your body to explode from the inside and-
:EmaFoS: Enough talk, time to experiment!
:SwordFoS: Wait, what!? No, let us talk this through before you get yourself killed by-
:EmaFoS: SCIENCE TIME!

Your conversation with the swords gave you ample amount of time to change both clothes and form into that of Gev, the bandit, just in case someone would witness you while you bring Justice to these chumps. Walking up to the corrupt Serpents guard, you can actually hear the front door unlock as she finally manages to reach it, but by now it’s already too late.

:NonFoS: Ha! There we go! Now I just need… ngg… to get out… huh? Freya? Is that you? Can you help me pull myself out of here?

Grabbing the end of her tail, you quickly feed it into your maw and start sucking her down. Making sure to watch your metal intake, you rip her sword from her belt and other large metal pieces before eating the rest of her.

:NonFoS: Eh? What are you- by hel’s name, what’s- agh!?

With her awkward position and your superior strength she doesn’t stand a chance, as you easily forces both her arms to her sides as you gobble her down further. She tries to fight back, but by the time she finally realizes what’s actually going on she’s already down to her shoulders.

When only their head remains outside, you bite down as hard as you can on it in an attempt to finally shut them up.

:NonFoS: HELP! SOMEONE FUCKING H- *Crack*

As her neck snaps, you suddenly find yourself with a severed head in your mouth that’s too big to swallow and a tummy full of… what feels like a living person? What?

:EmaFoS: Wait, what just happened?
:SwordFoS: It seems that your body is forcing the life essence to stay in the body for later absorption, at least, the part of it that was inside your… let’s call it magical stomach?
:EmaFoS: …so this was pointless? I would have had the same effect if I just ate her, minus the head in my beak?
:SwordFoS: It seems that way. As I said before, the life essence needs somewhere to go… and your body, designed to absorb it, isn’t just going to let it float away.
:EmaFoS: Well, that sucks…

Serpent yelling don’t carry as far as normal sound based yelling, if you remember correctly… still, you can’t be sure if someone is about to come running for her… “rescue”. It’s been a while since the others left but still… there’s also the problem with the head. It’s all the sudden way too big for your beak, even hurting your maw muscles as they are forced open by it. Does a little bit of life essence really make such a big difference? Either way, you can’t swallow it like this… and it’s bleeding all over the place as well…

For now, just spit out the body in some bushes and hide there. Wait for them to come back. If they enter the house, wait until most of them are inside, then use this as an opportunity to sneak up to the door and get some kills. They're stuck in small, closed environment where they're expecting no resistance.

When the time comes to hide all of them, I've an idea. Since we're undead, I assume we're immune to disease/infection, and don't need to breathe.
That means we could hide the bodies in absolutely disgusting places, such as near a sewer drainage pipe or within deep areas of sewage within the sewers themselves at little risk to ourself other than smelling bad. Since most people can't just wade through sewage, you could find a deep spot and bury them shallowly underneath the slough. Might not be the best method, but it'll be effective long enough for us.

Don't yank the head out here because you'll leave a load of blood all over the herbalist's house if you do sever the head here. Better lift your cowl in front up to under your beak to catch any more blood drips, rub out any blood on the ground with your foot, then rush to hide in the bushes. Once out of sight you can deal with the head.

Sakkilians are known to be able to swallow livestock like chickens or pigs whole, right? So maybe if you take the form of Elric, or Ema if he's not big enough, you'll be able to swallow this guard's head. Even if you aren't able to eat it whole, a Sakkilian form can swallow bigger pieces than a Vark one, making chopping it up to eat easier.

If you're unable to swallow the head whole, you might be able to use your sword to slice it free by sticking your sword through your body. Poke it around through your neck and head to find the point where your magical stomach starts, then slice the head off above there. Aim to cut it off where the most possible will be dragged into your gut with the body. Then, while the head is still in your mouth, you can cut through yourself to slice pieces off it from back to front until what's left is small enough to swallow whole. That'll help keep the blood from getting all over the place.

Make sure to hold the head with one hand while biting down firmly when you cut so the head doesn't slip out. Also push the head farther in as you go so the bloody end is inside the edges of your mouth. And tip your head back as well so the blood will flow more down your throat and not out the sides of your mouth. And once you're done make damn sure to change back into Gev's form before leaving hiding.

>Just imagine, not having hunt bad people every time you get hungry, instead just digest one of them that’s already inside you? So much simpler… then, maybe just this once, you can just absorb them all in celebration that you-
Even if it was possible to selectively digest those within you and it's not a all-or-nothing process, you obviously don't have the self control to not pig out on all those in you as soon as you start to digest. Maybe you never will.

Considering this, you should think about possibly getting facilities to temporarily imprison those you swallow if you've swallowed more than you ought to digest at once. Just spit 'em up one at a time into their soundproof cell, stripping 'em as they come up. Or get Oran involved to provide sedatives to keep 'em knocked out.

Of course, this is all assuming you'd be able to keep down more than one wicked person without losing control and gorging on 'em all.

>Since we're undead, I assume we're immune to disease/infection, and don't need to breathe. That means we could hide the bodies in absolutely disgusting places, such as near a sewer drainage pipe.
While a clever idea, there are several problems with it. How are you supposed to get several bodies from here to your hiding place without being seen? Or in any reasonable amount of time? You don’t think you can carry more than one body before it gets problematic. Besides, you have no idea where an area like that is. Also, you really don’t want to go around smelling of sewage… or bath in sewage…
>Sakkilians are known to be able to swallow livestock like chickens or pigs whole, right?
Wait, a pig? Who in the- if someone manages to swallow a freaking pig they would need to be both freaking huge and gluttonous… or undead like you, but that’s another matter entirely. But sure, Sakkilians are known to be able eat without chewing at times.
>So maybe if you take the form of Elric, or Ema if he's not big enough, you'll be able to swallow this guard's head.
Taking your real form, you force the head down with your hand. It feels like you’re about to choke to death, even if you don’t actually need to breathe, as it’s simply too big for you. It almost get stuck for a second in your throat before finally it disappear, freeing you from that horrid experience. You’re never going to try and eat something that big again… well, nothing that isn’t still alive, that is.

>Sounds like you don't have the self-control yet to stuff more than one in your belly.
Hey! You still haven’t started taking care of… err… the Serpent you just ate? At least, what’s left of her?
>I think when you eat the main target, you should try training your self-control by leaving her in your belly without absorbing her, for a full day.

>If no one shows up, go after the guards that went in the same direction as Kr’inka and Karn.
After waiting long enough to make sure no one cared enough to show up after that scream, you start making your way in the direction towards the stream. There is a small path going there, but you make sure to move several meters away from it, just in case someone is on the way back towards the hut. It doesn’t take long until the trees become more spares and the forest opens up a bit.

You find the two guards following the stream, looking for… something on the ground every few steps?

:NonFoS: -old is he anyway?
:NonFoS: Going to be ten winters soon.
:NonFoS: And he’s already reading books like that? Huh… he seems clever.
:NonFoS: Oh, I’m so proud of my little dragon.

Now you feel kind of bad taking those two out… they have a kid after-

:NonFoS: So I’m guessing he enjoys school, then?
:NonFoS: Well, he does now.
:NonFoS: Oh? Don’t tell me, you had to take care of some bully, right?
:NonFoS: Why yes, there was this bitch that keep calling him names and hitting him.
:NonFoS: Let me guess… you threaten her parents? Or… oh, you didn’t actually dump her body somewhere, did you?
:NonFoS: Threw it into the incinerator at the morgue. That thing is already filled to the brim with bone fragments no one would notice a few more, right?
:NonFoS: Hah! Clever! Oh, I bet her parents must be worried sick, haha!
:NonFoS: Let me tell you, just the day after her father came up to me and told me his daughter was missing and that he wanted me to look for her. I almost laughed right in his stupid face!
:NonFoS: Hah! I wish I was there. I wanted to see his stupid face as he bowled his eyes out! Hehe…

And suddenly all that doubt is gone. Yeah, this one deserves justice as well. Geez, does the guard have quota for psychopaths or something?

:NonFoS: Hey, look at this. Another set of prints. This one of a Sakkilian, I think? It looks like… it was dragging our old lady into the woods?
:NonFoS: Yeah, I can see signs of someone clumsily trying to get through that bush over there. Quick, after them!

Hey, maybe now you can try asking your swords some questions it didn’t answer before? For example: Ask the swords if there’s something you can do about laying on some fat for your normal form? Because holy shit the weather is starting to get really fucking cold and having an extra layer of fat to help you retain some body heat would be extremely helpful right about now!

>>906340
>Threw it into the incinerator at the morgue. That thing is already filled to the brim with bone fragments no one would notice a few more, right?
That’s a good place to dump bodies that you don’t eat. Only problems are: You don’t know where that is and you don’t know how to get the bodies there without getting caught.

>They start running almost straight towards you. You’ll need to act quick or they’ll catch up to Karn and Kr’inka.
If you’re in between them and where they need to go, then don’t let them get past you.

Just pop up and punch them both in their throats to try and crush their windpipes! That’ll prevent them from screaming and they’ll hopefully suffocate to death! If one or both of them are still alive, then finish the job by putting one hand around each of their throats and squeezing until they die.

Then just hide the bodies in the bushes and you’ll worry about getting rid of them later, after you get rid of the last of the guards and making sure Karn and Kr’inka are safe.

Hide behind a wide tree if convenient; dive down into the bushes otherwise. Spring up to get a quick kill with your sword on one and paralyze the other, then kill the paralyzed one.

...wait, Ema hasn't digested Tana yet? That means the cravings aren't strongly associated with the act of digestion, but rather the act of eating or the presence of an evildoer in her "belly".

Ema should try to avoid digesting Tana for as long as possible, to see if the cravings even come up again.

That’s the Serpent guard that was stuck in the window of Kr’inka’s house.

:EmaFoS: Oh, right.
>Gev form.
Well, duh…

>If they fail to see you hit the second one first so the one in front will have her back to you.
Neither of them seems to notice you as they close the distance, the Varkian even managing to jog right pass you unknowingly. As soon as the Sakkilian passes you, you jump out from your hiding spot and attack her.
>Attempt nonlethal takedowns.
You hit her hard in the side of the head with the pommel of your sword, knocking her off her feet and making her fall to the ground. The Varkian notices your intrusion immediately and tries to draw her sword, but with her having to both stop her sprint and turn around to face you, you can easily grab her sword arm before she can even try to swing it. It gives of a painful cracking sound as you bend it the wrong way, your superior strength making it easy to break her arm without any trouble.
>finish the job by putting one hand around each of their throats and squeezing until they die.
The lizard on the ground tries to get up on shaking arms, still being dazed by the hit to her head, but you don’t let her get far before you give her a hard kick to the side of the ribs, flipping her over. Before she can catch her breath again, you slam down your foot on her throat and start to strangle her. The bird on the other hand barely notice that you’re there, to chocked by what you did with her arm, but you soon change that as you grab her around the throat and lift her off the ground, chocking her.

>Be careful. If they end up dead then this will come back to our new friend.
…but as you see that you’ve won you lessen your grip of the roasts throat somewhat to let her breath, as well as lifting your foot from the meat on the ground as she gasp for air. They’ll live… for a moment longer.

>I think that if we end up getting that guard’s form, it’s going to be missing a head, which will make it useless for us to use.
…geez, that would be a morbid form to have. How would that even work, anyway? Would you just… die? Maybe you shouldn’t absorb her body...
>I'd really like Ema to get that Serpens out of her, now. Well, once she finds a place to dispose of it.
A headless corpse is bound to bleed all over the place, so you’ll need somewhere special to dump that thing… but speaking of dumping corpses…

What are you to do with these two guards? You can’t strangle them forever, can you? And you can’t let them go, because they’ll clearly come back with more guards to harass the old lady so…
Just put them out of their misery? You guess you’ll need somewhere to hide their corpses but…
Or you can just hide them inside your tummy for a while? At least until you’ve dealt with the others and know what to do next.

Strangle them to death. Won't leave any blood, which means it'll be easy to move the bodies to a better place to dismember them and be rid of the meat. Our goal is to make them disappear without anyone figuring out how it happened. In the short term you put their bodies into the bushes. You should come back after you've dealt with their boss and maybe get Karn to find some place nearby that can be used to either dump them outright or chop them up without leaving bloodstains.
Do not eat them alive. You don't have the willpower yet, and willpower comes with practice. Once you get the head guard in your hands you can gobble her up and practice NOT digesting her. You won't know if you can selectively digest people, so having that headless Serpens in your tummy as well should keep you from doing it at least until you can dispose of the headless corpse.

Ema, you clearly have a problem. You can't ate more than one person a day, or you will defenitly get out of control. FOR ONCE, listen to the swords, you are part of them now after all. Besides, there has to be a side efect for eating too many evil souls. Is like when you transform into Vivi. You gain some of her personality, and that can get out of hand. Souls are powerful things. You can't treat them as just food, they are life. And life has strength on it's oun. They can overpower you. The excess is the downfall of the powerful, and you are indeed powerful.

The idea was to help you fight off the cold because of how much you complain about it!

And you can’t eat the entire town! Don’t become a monster, you fool!

>You’re not sure about that…after seeing those really tasty hips Justina was sporting, you’re feeling a bit self-conscious. She had those kinds of hips you just want to bury your snout between and…wait, that’s an idea! Next time you meet her, you’ll just take her up to her room and bury your face in those hips and eat her out…before eating her and getting those hips yourself! Genius!
Actually, Justina is on the same level as Karn and Oran, in the grey area, but closer to good than evil. So you can’t eat her.....yet.

And eating her to get her hips for yourself would still make them her hips, since you’d need to be in her form to have them.

>Maybe you can get Danus to bury his snout in your hips and eat you out as well afterwards! Even more GENIUS!
You’re forgetting that Danus said that he wanted you to find someone else. Don’t you want to honor his wishes?

And no, that doesn’t mean you can seduce him in a different form!

>Bad guys eat good people while you eat bad people…which makes you a good guy, right? That’s how that works, right?
The bad people don’t eat the good people! You’re the only person in town that can eat people!

>Oh, yes, we have plenty of memories like that.
Then how does the digesting thing work? Is it all at once or can Ema selectively digest one at a time? Because if it is selective one at a time, then she could eat them all if we keep Ema’s willpower strong enough to not digest them all.

Speaking of being selective, if we eat more than one person, could we selectively spit them out (eating people A, then B, then C, but being able to spit A out before either B or C) or would it always be in reverse order of who we ate (eating people A, then B, then C, we’ll always spit out C, then B, then A)? I’m asking so that we can know if we can spit out that headless corpse after eating the head guard, without also spitting her out, or if we need to spit out the corpse before we eat the head guard.

Also, if we digest more than one person, would their forms combine? Could we even make a hybrid form like that Athena Mediean lady?

.....and, uh, do you have any memories that can help Ema with being seductive? Because in case you haven’t noticed, she’s really bad at it. Oran was the only person that’s worse than Ema at seduction.

>>906604
Yeah, I agree with this.

Kill these guards and hide the bodies to deal with them later. And then eat the head guard and practice not digesting her to train your willpower. Once you’ve proven that you actually have some self control, we’ll consider letting you eat more than one person at a time.

>Strangle them to death. Won't leave any blood, which means it'll be easy to move the bodies to a better place to dismember them and be rid of the meat.
The meat on the ground, still dazed from her head wound, tries to find something on her belt but manages only to fumble around a bit with her hands. You put a stop to it as you step down on her throat harder, until you feel something snap and her body go limp. The meal in your hand on the other hand manages to put up some token resistance, as she pulls a dagger with her unbroken arm. Still, it’s pointless, as you easily catch her arm by the wrist with your free hand before squeezing the life out of her with the other.
>I'll let you go if you tell me where this incinerator is.
:NonFoS:
:EmaFoS: Wops…
:SwordFoS: I don’t think the morgue would be a viable option anyway. It’s probably guarded or at least manned by people we can’t easily remove.

>Just bury them in a random spot in the woods, then come back and pour acid on the remains.
You don’t have time to make a grave, nor the tool to do so. Besides, acid doesn’t just make stuff disappear, does it? Not something big as a body, at least?
>In the short term you put their bodies into the bushes. Make sure you identify a way to remember where the body-hiding spot is - don't want to just lose 'em.
They are near the stream, in the bushes filled with nettles and poison ivy, right next to that kind of big rock. Easy to find and the nettles will keep people away… for a while, at least.

:SwordFoS: If that the way you want to see it, yes. Now, focus on the here and now, Ema. There are enemies abound.

You find yourself back at the herbalist’s hut, in front of which Terroza and her two goons are feverously looking for something.

Not everyone is a parent, even though many people are, but everybody is a daughter or son, everyone have family and/or friends, there is always people who will miss you.

Every action, especially killing, has consequences. We are responsible for any consequences of the actions we willfully choose. You don't stop trying to mitigate the bad consequences just because "they'll never stop". We made a conscious decision to engage and execute these two, with full knowledge that one of them has an intelligent son; that means any direct consequences of this are on our hands.

We don't have custody of the kid whose parent we just murdered, for sure, but we can locate evidence of their wrongdoing, explain that she still loved her son despite how rotten she was, or at the very least, just say she died in the line of duty. We should also scan the son for the level of corruption he has, and act accordingly.

Besides, if we leave this alone, and that father finds out what happened to his daughter, he might have some ideas on how to get payback. If you don't tell him she got punishment for what she did, he might try to inflict it on her son.

If she was under orders from the baroness than you are correct that she died in the line of duty, but that tell us a lot about this city condition. It's entirely possible that their orders to murder the innocent herbalist didn't came from authorities, meaning she died during an act of corruption.
Her death in particular is great example of serving justice because there are many angles that justify why she deserved and why her absence is a benefit for most. We knew she killed the innocent before, when we attacked she was seeking an innocent to kill and because she had no regret or intention of changing her ways there is high chance that she would kill more innocents in the future if she lived. How many old ladies and little kids would have to die so this one child can be raised by a serial killer?
We committed a crime by killing this guard, one that we have no regret or intention to repent because she deserved it as much or more that the other two guards we killed and don't care about. On top of the responsibility of being a murderer you are asking to take the responsibility of harming her son for killing her mother. Here is the problem: the same action is being judged twice. Why can we justify killing someone who deserve when they don't have children but cant when they do? If their death is justifiable it's the sociopath fault for putting her child in a situation where the just outcome is the death of one of his parents.

Justice is about punish evil actions, not reward good deeds. We should be concern with the people who where hurt by those we judge, not those who received help. If you insist we have to take in consideration their good acts at least balance them with the bad.

The kid still have a father. It's likely that the guards have some kind of pension for their families because corrupt governments need to maintain the moral and loyalty of the law enforcement.
Ema have nothing to offer. She doesn't have spare money or a reliable job. She can't raise a kid because she is a hungry cannibal undead who will inevitable lose her sanity. She can't offer wisdom because she haven't deal with the lute yet. She can't even offer an explanation for what happened without confessing to the crime.

We could make some parallels between Ema losing her parents because of a somewhat reluctant murderer and this kid losing her mother because of Ema. The difference is that this guard was killed for the crimes she committed and was planing to commit while Ema family and friend were killed for the collective crime committed by their... not race. ...community? ...fellow members of the animal kingdom? ...something done so long ago that isn't even recorded in local history. It's like condemning jews for killing Jesus, it's bullshit.

Sneak around to the back of the house (keep a watch on the windows).
One at the back, throw a rock over to the side. This will hopefully distract one of the guards.

If one moves and one stays, go in for a quick back-of-the-neck stab on the stationary one, then quickly run and kill the one who moved.
If they both move, you've got a good opportunity to get two quick stab-kills from behind, as long as you're quick and quiet.
If they both stay... we'll have to come up with something else. Perhaps knocking on the house slightly will lure one of them over. If doing this, move back a bit after knocking, and use paralysis + stab to get a silent kill before moving on to the second.

As this area's a bit more clear, blood isn't as much of a concern as long as it doesn't spray everywhere - should be easy enough to clean up.

Hey swords, do we have any archery knowledge? That'd be really useful in stealthily dispatching foes later on.

>I know this is not a good time to think about it, but, can we do something about the child of the guard? They don't deserve to lose her mother, even if she was an evil bitch.
You’re not sure there’s anything you can really do for them, can you? Sadly, that’s just how it’s going to be. If you’re to stop people from hurting others, you might in turn hurt those close to them. It’s still the lesser evil and all that.
>There are support groups for that. Like orphanages.
You’re sure his father can take care of him… or at least you hope so.

>We committed a crime by killing this guard, one that we have no regret or intention to repent because she deserved it as much or more that the other two guards we killed and don't care about. On top of the responsibility of being a murderer you are asking to take the responsibility of harming her son for killing her mother. Here is the problem: the same text text wall of text-
Err…
>I’m just going to quote what the swords said earlier, ”FOCUS ON THE NOW!!!”
R-right, focus! You have a meal to get!

>I’d suggest eating at least one minor guard. Multiple guard forms will be handy to traverse the city later in case one becomes compromised.
Hmm… if you can snatch one without trouble, maybe… but the real problem is getting the uniform, isn’t it? The uniform is the part people look at, not the person.
>Tasty, tasty red one.
Mmm… hatred and rage… such spicy food~
>And now we’ve gotta strip her so that we don’t accidentally eat anything that belongs to Kr’inka.
You just need to pat her down… and remove that metal chest plate of hers. You’re not eating that thing.
>Did we conveniently remember any other magic that we can use right now? Any memories that have some kind of skill with throwing weapons?
…you might be able to throw your sword, you think? You’re not sure why you’d want to, though… you just have a lot of memories of sword throwing for some reason…


>Keep your distance and wait for them to leave.
You can’t do that. They are going to burn the place to the ground, remember? Besides, if some other customer arrives you’re not sure what they’ll do! They might hurt them as well just to not leave any witnesses! No, you need to deal with them now.
>Just go around them and sneak in the back door.
There aren’t any backdoors and seeing as the hut is pretty much one big room, getting in through a window without Terroza noticing you would be difficult, if not impossible. You rather not have her catch you halfway inside, would you?
>Throw a bunch of rocks in one direction, wait for one of the guards to investigate, sneak attack.
Great idea!
:NonFoS: Hey! Someone is throwing rocks from that bush over there!
:NonFoS: GET THEM!

Oh shit, let’s get away from here! While you’re confident you can take one of them in a fair fight, fighting both of them at the same time while being stuck in bad terrain is a risk you rather not take if you can help it, even if you can win.

:NonFoS: …no one is here?
:NonFoS: Maybe it was a bird or something?
:NonFoS: Birds don’t throw rocks! Clearly someone is messing with us, so be vigilant!

>Idea: pose as a customer that found the dead body of Tsui. Make them drop their guard and get close.
Now that’s an idea… yet… you can use your current disguise, just in case they saw you run away from that bush, can you? Which means you need to change back to your old clothes… and the only form that fit in those, unless you want to walk around with your butt bare, are your real one and… Elric. Right, it’s Elric time!
>Could be even better if you spit up the headless body somewhere…
While it would be a great distraction, you rather not leave a bunch of blood and gore near this place. Besides, someone else might see or find the body before you can take care of it again and… well, things will only get even more complicated.

The guard stops in her tracks as suddenly all of you can hear a scream for help in the distance. While it’s too far away to really decipher who or what, exactly, they are screaming, the sound is coming from the stream… where you left the bodies…

The two guards seems to be at a loss at what to do… and Justina seem more concern about getting into safety of the hut than anything. Meanwhile you can hear something tip over inside and some swearing, but not indication that Terroza knows what’s going on out here. It’s time to… um… act?

I think we need to make them go near the bodys. Keep acting just a little more. Say something like:"You are guards, you are sopoused to defend us!" or something like that.

Justina's probably been party to worse, so, quoth the title of Light Club's song on the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack: "Fahkeet".
Grab the back of the guard's sword (the way it points clearly indicates that only one side is a cutting side - grabbing the back of it should be no issue) and just pull it out of his hand.
Hoping that'll knock him off his balance, or at least get enough of a drop on him, use his sword to stab him.
Justina'll probably be enough of a distract for the other guard - give her a bit of a push forward.

That’s.....actually a good point. Shit, we didn’t think this through, did we?

That sounds like it could be a lie to try and get the guards away from here. Could you feel Justina’s soul get darker from lying?

>Screaming coming from where we left the bodies
I’m hoping that’s not Kr’inka. Because if we tell the guards to go over there because someone needs help, we might be sending them straight towards the person they’re looking for!

Although we probably can’t send the guards over there because there’s a chance they could get away while we deal with Terroza! And the guards might make us come with them to keep an eye on us, which we can’t allow because that’ll give Terroza a chance to get away!

…your swords are very magical, so that they would be able to do something like that does make sense, doesn’t it? You’ll need to experiment later.
>I’m hoping that’s not Kr’inka. Because if we tell the guards to go over there because someone needs help, we might be sending them straight towards the person they’re looking for!
You’re pretty sure an old lady like her can’t yell like that. That sounded more like someone young, someone who’s barely an adult, if that.

…or you can just eat her? It’s not like she’s important or anything.
>That sounds like it could be a lie to try and get the guards away from here. Could you feel Justina’s soul get darker from lying?
Her soul is the same, so either she didn’t lie, or the lie didn’t have darker intentions behind it. You’re pretty sure just lying won’t darken a soul, after all.
>Justina isn't "murder" bad (not yet anyways), and thinks the guards are on our side on top of that. Suddenly attacking them will make her think we're the ones that pose a threat to her.
If you attack now you’ll either need to “take care” of Justina yourself, or make sure she doesn’t know it was you who attacked them. You can’t see any reason why she would take your side, after all.

What the hell? There's two sakkilians corpses here. There was only one sakkilian guard.

Anyway, it looks like a zombie got to them. Pretty fucking fast, too. Heyyy, I wonder if zombies have a bottomless appetite? Maybe you could feed the zombie to dispose of corpses.

But that's a thought for later. Take out these two guards IMMEDIATELY. As fast as possible. Then check on the screaming to solve that situation quickly, and finally run back then change into Ema to sneak behind the red bitch and save Justina. Optimally you should grab her by the head to paralyze her while at the same time putting your short sword to her throat and telling her not to move. That shouldn't reveal your paralysis power to Justina. At that point you tell Justina to leave unless she wants to see what you did to that bandit she didn't see the corpse of.

Wait a second. Ema, there's one too many corpses laying here. There's a second Sakkilian body, one that suspiciously looks exactly like the guard you suffocated. And what's more, it doesn't even have a cut on it when the others have been ripped and sliced.

Odds are whatever dined on the guards' corpses can also shape shift and took the Sakkilian guard's form to lay in wait for a trap. ...Most likely, it's that shapestealer you saw the bounty for. The one that was spotted near the city. The young man's cry is probably from a shapestealer as well, a mimicked phrase to lure prey into a ambush. Dunno if shapestealers work together or not, though. Assume they do for now.

Well, whatever you plan to do with the two live guards, be extra wary of that fake corpse and of any young man that's crying for help since they're both likely shapestealers. But remember that shapestealers are not intelligent. All they do is dumb mimicry. A simple question asked will reveal them, as they will not be able to understand and give a answer.

That there's a shapestealer or two lurking around here also presents another potential threat to Karn and Krinka besides the guards. You better finish up with these guards, deal with Terroza and save Justina ASAP so you can get Karn and Krinka outta here.

On your guard - there shouldn't be three bodies. There's fuckery afoot. Keep your guard up until you're sure it's nothing more.

Feign fainting. Let the guards investigate the bodies, hopefully moving past you. If that third one is some sort of danger, stay down, use surprise to get the jump on it. If it is just a third corpse that's show up for whatever reason, well... two guards to paralyze, two hands to do so with, and a perfect opportunity.

Right, good point. You rather not accidently kill yourself or something by taking a form without a head.

That’s right… though, you better wait until you’re actually safe and without witnesses, as you have no idea how hard it will be to… expel it, so to speak.

This is definitely an ambush. There are at least two of them, waiting for some poor shmuck to come running in an attempt to help, but as soon as they pass the corpses the fake one will spring to life and attack them. Hmm… maybe you can trick the guards into that trap?

Seeing as they are both to distracted to even notice you getting up again, you easily sneak up on them and smash their heads together hard enough to render them unconscious.

>We need to think of a way to eat the last two guards before they get taken out by this as well.
Well, they are lying at your feet, unconscious, ready to be gobbled up… but then again, if you killed them here, no one would probably even think twice about the extra bodies… or maybe you can just leave them to the shapestealers? Speaking of those monsters, what are you to do with them? You can’t just leave them to roam free, especially after they have gotten a taste for people… someone innocent might get hurt!

This was an ambush. They have their prey captured now-- the two guards. The shapestealers probably consider you one of them! I believe now that you are an augmented shapestealer. The swords give you an advanced mind, but your body itself is very similar to theirs. That's why piercing attacks are required to kill you and them.

Back away, wait for them to eat/kill the two guards, then ambush them right back by using thrusting attacks with your swords. The shapestealers will probably be easy to kill since they don't have any weapons which can hurt you.

I agree. And don’t forget to spit ou the headless Serpent guard’s body onto the pile!

Just let the monsters maul the bodies first, so that their deaths can be explained away as a monster attack instead of a person killing them.

Writing anything in blood on still wet grass is a fool’s errant. Besides, Karn is probably back in town by now and not anywhere near here.

…gah, you really want to but… you’ve already decided that you’ll need to show some restraint, right?

That’s how it works, right?)

>Hey! Would eating a shapestealer grant us a benefit on making a new form, swords?
:SwordFoS: Only those with a high amount of life essence, that is to say people, give you any benefits. Shapestealers are nothing but animals with interesting ability.
>The shapestealers probably consider you one of them! I believe now that you are an augmented shapestealer.
:SwordFoS: While your abilities are similar to theirs, I do not believe they will think you’re one of them. They might be dumb animals, but they can still probably smell and feel that you’re not a shapestealer. Besides, they are a territorial bunch and would probably be aggressive even if they thought you were one of them.

>If one of the bodies looks unharmed, it's probably a shapestealer. Stab all the corpses to make sure they are dead.
While it is a dumb animal, you’re pretty sure it’s smart enough to not let you get close enough to actually stabbing it without it attacking.

You back away from the guards and let the beast approach them. They seem to be content for now with their large meal you’ve presented to them, though they are still keeping a wary eye on you. One of them let out a menacing sounding growl to show you that you’re not welcome here and should leave.
>And don’t forget to spit out the headless Serpent guard’s body onto the pile!
It takes you several seconds to get the corpse out of you, and it’s not a pretty sight. As you puke out several liters of blood your body is screaming at you that you’re dying out of instinct, but when the headless corpse makes it way to your throat, it changes its tune to sheer confusion of what’s happening. Confusion is also the best word to describe the looks on the Shapestealers, as they stare at you trying to figure out if you’re dying or what the fuck is going on right now.

>You should rush back to find Justina because I have a feeling Terroza is going to do something bad to Justina!
You’re right! If you waste any more time she might be in danger! You just have to hope those two guards are enough to keep the monsters occupied for you to come back and deal with them later.
>Ambush them right back by using thrusting attacks with your swords. The shapestealers will probably be easy to kill since they don't have any weapons which can hurt you.
Then again, dealing with them now will probably not take too long… hmmm…

Dammit, why can’t you do both at the same time… unless… heh…

Why should we go through all of that just to let Terroza get away?

>Why do we hate her, again?
Because she’s a fucking disgusting degenerate that has moved away from the fire of the goddesses!? Women are to be with men, nothing else! She’s also a freaking bird shit, most of those are just thieves and whores. Not upstanding citizen like us Sakkilians. You can count on one hand the Varkian you can actually trust.
>You gotta keep some plausible deniability if you're going to frame her for arson.
You “caught” her in the act, what more do they need to now? After all, you have all your subordinates who will agree that we caught her red handed.

>Let's just beat her fat ass.
As soon as you let go of her beak she tries to say something, but you keep her quiet by punching her in the gut hard enough to make her fall to the ground, gasping for air. Then, as she makes a vain attempt to get up again, you backhand her face, right over her eye, to teach her to stop struggling. She learns quickly and all the fight drains out of her as she simply lay there, beaten. In fact, she doesn’t even give a token of resistance as you drag her to the nearest tree and tie her to it, except for a low whimper.
>Pull her feathers out.
You grab a handful of feathers on one side of her face and rip them off. She tries to scream in pain, but she stifle it in her throat as she sees you glaring at her. This is fun…
>Anything you do to her has a chance of turning her on. You don't want to catch her sluttiness do you?
Hmm… you’ll simply need to make sure that she can never be excited about anything ever again… maybe with a hot iron and… hmm… so many ideas, so little time… if only you had more time…
>Locking her in a dungeon gives you plenty of opportunities to torture her while she slowly starves to death.
…OF COURSE! If you lock her up, you can have all the fun you ever want to with her! You just need to keep her away from the freaking warden. That bitch never let anyone have any fun… “prisoners have right to, you can’t torture them” and all that mumbo jumbo. They are criminals, they deserve to feel pain! So you’ll simply need to drag this fucker back to town, then…

>But not before we get that other witness, pardon: her accomplice in there as well, it wouldn't do to leave loose ends.
You were planning of just passing that cute ass around your women to boost moral before slitting his throat… it’s just easier that way. Speaking of him, you can hear someone coming back… someone that’s running? Hmm?

:ElricFoS: HELP! Shapestealers!

What? Shapestealers? Here? Something doesn’t add up here. The others wouldn’t have any trouble dealing with one of those cretins, would they? And Shapestealers aren’t usually known to chase after prey like this. Besides, you rather not have him see the filthy bird right now, so maybe you’ll just kill him right away and deal with whatever is following him afterwards?

Either way, you need to act now, as he’s just about to run out into the clearing in front of the hut.

>The others wouldn’t have any trouble dealing with one of those cretins, would they?
The key word in that sentence is one. What if they ran into more than one?

>And Shapestealers aren’t usually known to chase after prey like this.
Again, there’s probably more than one. They’re chasing him because some of them are currently eating the others, but one or two of them didn’t get anything to eat, so they’re chasing after him.

>Besides, you rather not have him see the filthy bird right now
What does it matter? You said you caught her, which mean that she had a knife and tried to stab you. You’ve got a justified excuse for her to be beaten up and tied to a tree.

>so maybe you’ll just kill him right away and deal with whatever is following him afterwards?
He’s a male. If you save him, he’ll be so grateful, he’ll do whatever you say.

So if you tell him the bird bitch is guilty, then he’ll follow along with your story. Having another witness to her crimes will help, right? And if you want, you can convince him to personally “reward” you in your bedroom.

Just tell him to get behind you and deal with whatever’s following him.

WHAT!? NO! Why the fuck would you be jealous of this fat slob!?
>All the males would be lining up at your bedroom door for a chance at having the honor of being allowed to lay with you.
Any male that you ever want will be yours, no matter if they want it or not! That’s how it’s always been! You don’t need any stinking curves to attract males! Who cares what they think anyway!? You don’t!

>Did your mother lay a wuss? Get in there and deal with the situation!
Your mother was a weakling and a thief, the only thing good she ever gave you before you hanged her was an iron will after all the abuse she inflicted on you.
>There might a bunch of them.
Shapestealers hunt alone… or with a mate in some rare circumstances, and then they are usually not as aggressive.
>Your guards would have trouble with more than one, as they have no spears.
While spears are usually the go to melee weapon to hunt beast and monsters with, they still got swords and know how to use them. Besides, they are smart enough to not walk straight into a shape stealer ambush, that you’re sure of!

>Your crew is going to need that morale if you've taken losses, which it looks like.
Losses? On a milk run like this? They might be hurt, sure, but you don’t think any of them have died. You’re sure of it! Well, maybe that snake freak. You kind of hope she died. You’ve never been able to stand that smug Serpent face of hers… those shifty snakes can’t be trusted.
>Take the threat seriously, the bird can wait and the boy you can handle alone if he tries anything.
That’s right. Keep the eyes on the next skull to crush. The shapestealer first, whatever comes next afterwards.
>Wouldn't it be a waste to kill such a cute little male like that? If you save him, and look cool in the process, his ass is yours. Males love heroic acts.
Eh, you’ll drag him to your bedroom either way… but then again, having him worship you for a while might be nice… at least until you get bored and want to hurt him a bit.

>Grab 'em by that spot on the upper arm so he becomes powerless to resist you.
He comes rushing out of the underbrush directly towards you, only slowing down in hesitation as he sees the fucking bird. That hesitation is quickly eradicated as the Shapestealer burst out from behind him, almost catching his leg as it lunges after him. You quickly grab his arm and pull him behind you, making sure that he’s safe from the beast, while also keeping a strong grip on him to make sure he doesn’t try anything stupid. As the monster lunges towards you, you end its leap with a hard smack with your mace in its face. Its beak splinter from the blunt trauma and the rest of its body is sent flying lifelessly several meters away. You don’t have much time to celebrate your victory as you catch a glimpse of something moving in the corner of your eye. Turning around, you swear you saw the male reaching out its free hand towards your head, but he was quick enough to pull back before you managed to get a good look. Your paranoia tells you that he’s up to something… but your brain tells you he’s no threat to you.

:ElricFoS: *Gasp* My hero! *Swoon*

You finally notice what’s wrong as you try to move your arm. He resists your pull for a split second before giving in, but it’s enough for you to get a feel for him. He is strong… too strong. A man that looks like him can’t be that strong. As you stare into his eyes, you can’t see any of the fear you expect to see… instead, all you can see a hunger.

Your paranoia has only one thing to say… KILL HIM. KILL HIM NOW!

Denial is further proof that you are indeed jealous of not having the same attractive curves that bird has. Distracting thoughts are distracting from Ema and hopefully giving her an opening to do her thing.

>Where are the others? Why is this wimp the only one that came running?
The others were dumb enough to fall for the shapestealer ambush and he ran the moment the others got killed.

>…how the fuck did he even outrun a freaking Shapestealer through rough terrain?
He’s a male. They’re always running away from danger and towards the nearest female to protect them. Apparently, this particular male must’ve spent a lot of his life running towards the nearest guard for help.

>How did he know your name?
Well, duh, how could he not know your name?! You’re very well known in town, so he must’ve heard of you!

Or one of the others could’ve said your name and that’s how he knows your name.

>As you stare into his eyes, you can’t see any of the fear you expect to see…
That’s because he’s got nothing to be afraid of with you here. You do remember that you’re a badass, right?

That’s called “sexual hunger”. Which is to be expected since you just saved his life.

>Denial is further proof that you are indeed jealous of not having the same attractive curves that bird has.
You’re not in denial! You have no need for nice curves, the only thing you need is your strength! Who cares if they find you attractive or not when you can just force them to like you!
>He’s a male. They’re always running away from danger and towards the nearest female to protect them.
True… but they usually run like sissies, with their hands cowering their face, and usually trip on the first obstacle they find. This fucker managed to outrun a fucking beast in a 100 meter race through rough train! You can’t do that! None of your women can do that!
>A Blue Mage, perhaps?
A what mage? Hmm… he might be some kind of spell thrower, that’s true… one of those wizzer types. Luckily, you know some magic yourself… only the kind that can affect yourself, sure, but punching someone hard enough to shatter rock is always effective.

>Kinda tall... for a guy, isn't 'he'?
Wait, he’s a… t-that freak, how dare she throw away her birthright like that! No, it this is true, she doesn’t deserve to live anyway.
>Tell your brain to stop listening to your paranoia because it’s being stupid and wrong.
You can’t count the time your paranoia has saved you. You’ve always listened to it and you won’t stop now. Besides, it’s not paranoia when you’re right!

>Grab him by the neck and interrogate him.
>I think it's time for a chokehold. Scheming males don't need air.
He clearly isn’t expecting you to suddenly pull him into a chokehold, as he barely have time to react before you start squeezing the air out of him. Though, even as you force your arm into his throat, he doesn’t so much as gasp or wheeze…

:TerrozaFoS: Who are you!? Who sent you!?
:ElricFoS: I-I’m j-just some unfortunate… um…

Noticing his mistake to late, he give himself away that he is clearly something more than just some male.
After all, who can speak that clearly while being freaking choked to death!? Though it seems that he knows the ruse is over, as he suddenly starts trying to break free. At first, you’re surprised by the sudden strength he is showing and he almost breaks free from your hold. His strength is far above anything a male can show… and would probably rival your own, if not outpace it. He has to be using magic! Luckily, you know a bit of magic yourself, and as his resistance increases, so does your own strength as you start pumping magic into your own muscles. The two of you stand there, seemingly stuck in an endless show of strength…

You said it yourself, shapestealers are usually in groups of 2, so there should be 1 more somewhere around here. It’ll be best if you go deal with it now before it tries to sneak up on you.

Shapestealers usually hunt alone, unless they just found a mate. Hmm… that might have been why it was so aggressive, then? This male hurts it mate? Hopefully it killed it, so you don’t have to deal with it.

If they are dead they were weak and didn’t deserve to be part of your gang anyway! And… a-and it’s not you can just replace them… or… something. Bah, what are you saying?

That’s right, the easy solution! You can just crush her fucking hands! Pulling out her arms, you grab hold of both her hands and start squeezing them in your gauntlets. She winces from the pain and tries to endure through the pain, but as you start pumping magic into the muscles in your hands she starts to panic as you hear her bones start to crackle.

:JustinaFoS: MFF!? MFFF MFF!!!
:TerrozaFoS: That’s right, this is what you get for defying me… unless… heh…

You ease up on her a bit, letting the magic dissipate from your muscles… and instead you start to move it into your scales in your fingers. Soon enough, heat starts to build and you can outright hear her feathers fizzle from the sheer warmth of your metal gauntlets.

:JustinaFoS: MFF!!! MFFFFFF!!!

He’s not a whore, he’s a… gentleman of nightly delight. A whore lick puss for a few coppers behind the pub, your brother is a legit massager and escort, who will make your whole night pleasant and not just a quick fuck. Besides, he doesn’t fucking try to… um… well, fuck guys, is he? …and he keeps away from non-Sakkilian most of the time too… disgusting fuckers…

Heh, that’s right, it’s not the time to fantasize about his big cock right now. But you definitely need some “moral support” after all this… and so do the rest of your girls as well. You hope he got tonight open for you… or at least an hour or two.

Right! Let’s make sure this fucker is dead! You put your foot on her back and grab a hold of her head before pulling with all your fucking might. As the scales on her neck start to give away, you can feel her struggle under you. So she really was alive! Well, not for long, as with one last pulse of magic into your muscles you rip her head clean of her shoulders!

You don’t know what he does when you’re not around and you’re not the boss of him, so you can’t tell him who he can and can’t fuck. He’s probably fucking some non-Sakkilian male right now, while you’re out here!

>>909532
>She…she…her head…it…it just exploded into…blue goo? …WHAT THE FUCK!?
What? Didn’t you know that’s what happens when you kill a magical clone? Yeah, the blue girl tricked you into killing a magical copy of herself, which means that she’s still hiding somewhere nearby.

The great Terroza has been made to look like a dumbass by a single person. You must feel pretty humiliated right now.

Lucky for Ema her “core” is in her chest and not her head, which we discovered when Karn tried to stab her, so she should be fine and she should be able to regrow her head. Be seriously, why is everyone helping Terroza? We’re supposed to be trying to help Ema eat her!

>>909533
>The fucking bird got loose somehow!? AND WHERE THE FUCK DID IT HIDE THAT FUCKING DAGGER!? YOU’LL FUCKING MURDER HER!!!
And as soon as you make a move towards the bird, the blue girl will come out of hiding and attack you!

She can actually be helped. She isn't like a dog who doesn't know to stop eating against our advice, or an idiot crook about to spoil the second chance we gave them in life making the same mistakes to make a quick buck, also against our advice. They're both on irreversible courses. Terroza hears our suggestions and can follow through on them without blundering over her own feet every update, which is a nice change no matter how evil she is.

Except for our dating advice, I don't think she's listening to that at all.

But Ema does listen to us. Her hunger is something she’ll always be tempted by, and it’ll always be our job to avert her from it. You could say that’s part of the entire objective of this quest. Oran, meanwhile, likely hasn’t been thinking straight because apparently being a virgin for this long is really bad for Serpens, emotionally speaking. Hopefully, he’ll be more receptive the next time we’re in his head now that he’s gotten laid. On the flip side, the reason Terroza has been so obedient is because we’re playing into her nature instead of trying to avert it like with Ema and Oran, and if anyone is a lost cause, it would be her.

Well, he/she has a point. We purposefully sabotaged Tunu to help Ema, so it does kinda feel like that’s what we’re supposed to do with Terroza.

So I can understand why he/she is upset about everyone helping Terroza instead of hindering her.

>Maybe we can redeem Terroza
Kinda hard to see that happening, since her entire plan was to come out here, murder an old lady, set her house on fire, and blame Justina for all of it so that she can be tortured in a dungeon during Terroza’s free time for her amusement.

Maybe we discover the reason why she is like this. Maybe she has issues growing up, maybe it is something else. Very few people are inherently evil.

Terroza is just going to come up with an excuse to validate her actions and completely ignore any change to become good, the same way Oran makes excuses to keep making illegal potions and Ema keeps insisting that she should be allowed to eat everyone, including innocent people.

It's a matter of management. We could invest more time and effort into assisting an entire district in pulling itself back together than attempting to restore Terroza's honor, but if turning Terroza grants us a mole in the department with special training perks, with the eventual goal of neutralizing the source of all this corruption, then it MIGHT be worth the risk. There is always worth in doing what you can. The question I'm asking is, is it worth the risk and effort to at least attempt to save Terroza?

She is clearly a complete weakling, as she barely reacts as you spin around and grab her hand. Her screams of pain and lack of resistance as you start to pump magic into your hands only further prove this fact. You can feel her bones break under your strength and the smell burning flesh fills the air. She won’t be using that hand for a long time… of course, seeing as you’re going to kill her anyway…

Redeem!? You do not need some kind of redemption! Why would you redeem yourself!? The world is the one who need to redeem itself!

Maybe, instead of burning down her home and torturing this old lady, you can just ask her about those weird stones the baroness wants? If you bring her a bribe… no, a gift, she might just talk without any trouble… and then… then you can maybe patch things up with your brother… and maybe train up your squad so people will respect them and not fear them… of course, you’ll still probably need to kill this one right here, but after that, then maybe you should try something new?

>Do not worry, you’re safe for now…and so is Kr’inka…as well as your…friends?
Congratulations! Despite getting your head ripped off, you still managed to protect the Hiver lady! So it’s time for a reward!

>I have to say, watching your regrow your head was quite fascinating. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a species able to do something like that before.
Did the others see that?

>The red one is rather feisty, isn’t she? Either way, I leave it up to you to do what you want with them. I’m not sure who’s friend or foe, really.
The red Sakkilian, Terroza, is the enemy. The green Sakkilian, Karn, and the Varkian, Justina, are both friends.

Make sure both Karn and Justina are blindfolded and paralyze Terroza again. Then strip her clothing off and eat her!

When you’ve finished doing that, untie Karn and Justina, then ask if anyone has anything that can help treat the injuries Justina got when Terroza tortured her.

>>924735
No, we are not doing that! We are going to eat that bitch!

Ask where your swords are.

Then make sure you blindfold Justina and Karn, so they don't have to witness you eating Terroza. Even though Karn already knows what you are, he may not want to see you eat someone again. And just in case Justina somehow hasn't figured anything out, it would be nice to keep your secret from her. Though if she does know, you're gonna have to convince her to not say anything to anyone.

I don't think you should be eating anybody at all right now. Even if regenerating made you really hungry, I'll remind you how many times you've been told that you shouldn't be eating so goddamn much. If you plan on ignoring advice until we capitulate again, you should at least first cut Karn and Justina loose and tell them to go to the alchemy shop to recover before you do anything with the captain.

Oh, yeah. I just now remembered what our plan was for when we got Terroza!

We had just recently ate Tana, so we can't eat again.

But! We were planning on eating Terroza and not digesting her, so that we can hold onto her until we get hungry tomorrow. Then we'd digest her and not have to worry about who we were going to eat tomorrow. It was also meant as a test for Ema to see how strong her willpower is to see if she can resist digesting Terroza for an entire day.

So I'm sticking with my vote of eating Terroza, but I'll add in that we should not digest her!

It's possible that she's turned over a new leaf in regards to how she treats strangers. But that's about it. Her hateful views on certain types of people didn't change, and she'll still be extremely hostile towards us in particular in the short term. It's even quite possible that our "surprise, motherf***er" attack got interpreted as a sign that this whole leaf-turning revelation was wrong, and therefore caused her to hit backspace on that shiz. It's a 90% chance of being too little too late, but eh... Ema, what does your nose tell you?

Worse: Society is corrupted from poor decisions that lead to cancerous actions while deceiving the masses into believing the problem lies with their neighbors and enemies. For almost everyone, the system is too complex and obfuscated to truly comprehend... but SHE has the comprehension to understand the full scope of the system and seize the shadow throne by the balls. And now she's intentionally making everything even worse.

Wait, nevermind. I just now remembered where they are. Ema ate them so that she wouldn't accidentally leave them behind again. Since we didn't pull them out during the struggle with Terroza, they should still be in Ema's stomach.

And since the swords explained that they are a part of her, she can't be harmed by her own swords and her swords won't rust while they're in her.

>How hungry are you?
You’re starving! Your tummy is screaming for sustenance! Blue lizard wizard needs food badly!
>Cause red is good for dinner.
Oh gods, yes, she’s smells so delicious!
>We were planning on eating Terroza and not digesting her, so that we can hold onto her until we get hungry tomorrow.
But you’re hungry now! And you don’t think you’ll be able to control yourself if you don’t get food soon.
>Also, we should make sure Kr’inka isn’t around to witness that.
…you’re pretty sure the old lady isn’t around here… in fact, you have no idea where she is.
>This makes me wonder how the hell the Duchess pings as so much more evil. Does she literally eat babies? Bathes in the blood of virgins every day to keep her scales shiny?
Whatever it is she does, it has to be pure Evil with a capital E. She might be some kind of abomination that feeds on suffering… or she’s some kind of deranged cannibal… or someone who have killed hundreds for the sake of power and money… or maybe she’s the one who is responsible for the slaughter in your village! …or *gasp* she puts the toilet paper on the wrong way! THE FIEND!

>Congratulations! Despite getting your head ripped off, you still managed to protect the Hiver lady! So it’s time for a reward!
You really hope this reward is a nice, tied up piece of delicious sin for you to consume.
>We can only get the good ending if we befriend all of the waifu characters.
…you wouldn’t really consider Terroza a waifu… and would Karn be considered a waifu?
>Say, what happens exactly when we lose our head? What does our body does, how does it work?
You’re not sure… you can’t actually remember that part… hmm…
>On the other hand, or head, in this case, you have to admit that been able to regenerate your head is rather useful.
You’d rather not lose it again, but being able to regrow limbs is useful thing to know, yes. Though it’s freaking painful, as well… and exhausting…


>Swords, are you there? We can't afford to be away from those.
:SwordFoS: We’re still inside you, Ema, where you last put us.
:EmaFoS: Oh right… so… when I lose my head…
:SwordFoS: Without the aid of your mind, your body will act on instinct… as in this case, attacking the thing that was attacking you.

>Though you didn't like me. Why are you helping?
:MaskedFoS: Because it’s the right thing to do.
:EmaFoS: Right…
:MaskedFoS: And I’m helping the old lady as well. She’s is safe, by the way. I guess I have to thank you for that.
>How long have we been sleeping anyway? Is it still the same day?
:MaskedFoS: Your head was almost fully grown by the time I dragged you here. It’s only been a few hours since I found you.
>Ask about getting their injuries treated.
:MaskedFoS: The green one is unharmed and the red one only suffered a large flesh wound.
:EmaFoS: I was talking about Justina, the white one.
:MaskedFoS: She is a bit more severe case. I tried my best, but while I did manage to heal a broken rib and a few internal wounds, her hand requires… a bit more than I can offer. It’s in a very bad shape.

>Then make sure you blindfold Justina and Karn, so they don't have to witness you eating Terroza.
:MaskedFoS: Or I can just lead them out of the room?
:EmaFoS: Oh, right.
>Tell him to untie the bird thing and the green one.
:MaskedFoS: The white one and the green one, affirmative. I’ll lead them out of here for now.
:EmaFoS: That would be good.
:MaskedFoS: And Ema, I do not know what exactly your history is with the red one, but do hope you’ll try and solve it without anyone else getting hurt. You might still have the choice to do this peacefully.
:EmaFoS: Says the one person who impaled my head with a freaking hand scythe.
:MaskedFoS: I’ve already said I regret that… and that I didn’t think I had a choice at the time. That’s why I’m imploring you to at least consider your options. You always have a choice… even if some choices are worse than others.
:EmaFoS: …I’ll keep that in mind.


>Can we maybe not eat her right now at least and see if we can get her to change or has it been more or less set in stone that Terroza must not survive?
…you’re really hungry… but if she can be redeemed somehow…
>Terroza has sinned too frequently and too deep to possibly have any hope of redemption.

>Terroza must be saved. Interrogate her and then befriend her!

>Oh, so you say we use her as a pawn. That is not a bad idea. But it will be difficult to make her bend to our will... unless we extort her, and i think we can use her brother to do so.

>Hey, is anyone going to ask the swords' opinion?
:SwordFoS: Some people cannot redeem themselves. Even those that try are bound to face hardship and most simply go back to their evil ways. You are Justice, enact Justice. How you’ll enact it is up to your judgment.

A) Don’t eat her.

we gain all their knowledge when we eat them anyways, plus being able to use her as a disguise would be useful to get close to people who might actually have had something to do with the slaughter of your village. If not by knowing someone involved then at least by letting you "play" guard and do some investigating. Plus she's a dirty cop so it probably wouldn't even be that out of character for you to "stretch" the rules while investigating around as her... as in braking and entering.

She is not going to second guess her belief that her way is right again and she is not going to trust us.

Talk to her about redeeming herself, if she acts like she's willing to try then try feel if she's lying, if she is or if you can't tell then B eat her.
But if she actually feels like she's willing to try change then I guess give her a chance.

Try to practice that restraint you were talking about earlier. If you can't, then just absorb Terroza, so you don't run off and try to eat someone else.

You can’t just release her, she knows too much and are too willing to talk. She’s too dangerous to let loose.
>She will never serve us. She will go behind our back and get us killed.
Her hatred for you is huge, so she’ll probably never work with you willingly… and forcing her by either fear or greed will probably just backfire… let’s just do this the safe way.
>Being able to use her as a disguise would be useful to get close to people who might actually have had something to do with the slaughter of your village.
…in fact, she’s probably way more useful as a part of you than she’ll ever be as living person. Why gamble on her betraying you when you can just use her like another tool, eh?
>Strip off everything she's wearing, so that you don't end up having to cough up a huge rusted chunk of armor later.
Luckily, Yate or whatever the masked person name is, have already removed her gauntlets. The rest of her armor is the kind of armor that composed by several steel plates fasten together with leather straps, making it easy to remove it even with her hands tied behind her back… with the exception of the armor on her back and arms, that is, but you manages it. You also make sure to grab your shirt and redress yourself.

And finally she shuts up. You really want to just absorb her, but you guess you made a promise to at least try and not do that right now. Still, you’re starving and need to feed on something.

>You must be this hungry because you had to regenerate your head.
Regrowing parts of yourself definitely saps your energy away like mad. You guess you were just lucky that you had a meal in your tummy already when you regenerated your arm. But it seems every time you regrow something, you’ll need to feed again.
>I thought you could sustain yourself by fucking people?
You can… to an extent. The problem is finding people to feed off.
>There's like three people bound and gagged and two of them like you.
One of them is clearly traumatized and hurt, the other you already feed of just a few hours ago and he’s probably not in the mood anyway and the last… well, she’s lizard fat now, but even before that… she didn’t really like you?
>Why don't you seduce the lizard instead, nothing like a hardcore hatefuck in bondage.
Not only do your seduction skills sucks, but anything the two of you can do would definitely be… well, you’re pretty sure she won’t be willing to… you know. Besides, you’ve already eaten her.
>That's not going to work, since the person Ema is fucking would need a dick in order for her to feed from them.
You’re actually not sure about that. You haven’t actually done it with a lady yet and... well, you can change forms, can’t you? So… if you turn into a male and… hmm… this require experimentation.

Either way, you have a lot to do… and people to eat…

-You need to bring whoever attacked your village to Justice…
-You might want to find those stones the masked person, Yate, asked for. A lot of people seem to want them, making them valuable in more ways than one.
-You also need to check the library for information about Dalriver, your village.
-You might want to find that Uredo the old lady, Kr’inka, talked about. The one who apparently comes from Dalriver.
-Kr’inka also mentioned that the nomads might know something.
-You need to eat the Baroness, too. She belongs in your tummy, after all.
-Terrozas brother might become a bother… maybe you can do something about him as well?
-Oh, and it might be prudent to test out your new forms… especially the male one. You still have no idea how a male form really… feels.

Though, getting fed is probably your first priority.

...wait, there's another option. You could go fuck the alchemist. You have an excuse to travel over there anyway, to heal up the bird. Who, by the way, now owes you her life. Time to give her a bit of a talk with your other friends' help. I'm sure you can come to an arrangement with her.

Dig through Terroza’s things and take her money and anything important looking. You might need to figure out a way to take her armor with you, since you’re going to need it to look like her.

>Either way, you have a lot to do…
First thing you should do is check on Justina and Karn, see how they’re holding up. Then tell Karn to take Justina to Oran’s shop and get a healing potion for her. You’ll catch up with them later after you talk to Yate for a little bit.

When they leave, ask Yate about the stones.

>Though, getting fed is probably your first priority.
Can’t exactly do that with Terroza in your belly, since you still don’t know if you can selectively digest one person in your belly or if you collectively digest everything in your belly.

How about you just hold out for as long as possible and when you think you can’t go any longer, digest Terroza. That way you don’t have to go through the trouble of hunting someone today.

I don't think her brother, the crack whore, will be a problem.

For now, priority is helping Justina. Get her some proper healing ASAP - travel to Oran's shop if it's close. Once we're sure her wounds are decently managed, regroup, make sense of the situation, and make a course of action from there.

>Your seduction skills suck.
Then you should change that!

You're not the first host to these swords and you won't be the last. Since skills are passed on to the next person, you should get some seduction skills to help the next person seduce people to feed off of them.

Honestly, with feeding through sex as one of the things you can do, I'm surprised the swords didn't give you any seduction skills from the people that came before you! You'd think something like that would be important to pass along!

>Need to eat someone.
You don't need to go eat someone else. Just do as >>925924 said and wait until the last possible moment, then digest Terroza.

>Since skills are passed on to the next person, you should get some seduction skills to help the next person seduce people to feed off of them.
You’re pretty sure those kind of skills aren’t passed on, or you’d probably been some kind… um… super seducer or something. So far, the only real skills you’ve learn are those tied to the swords themselves… as in, fighting with them.
>See if you can massage her sensual areas with your stomach.
…err… what? You’re pretty sure… why would you even… how would you even… um…?
>Ask her if she feels more talkative now, or should we just eat her now and go find her brother?
… … …she’s not answering. Oh wait, right, you can’t hear her when she’s inside you… and you don’t know if she can hear you either? Either way, you’re not going to get an answer from her.

>She went out insulting us and not really promising anything of concrete worth. She'll be food and nothing else - good riddance.
The only positive thing you can say about her is that she tasted fantastic.
>Dig through Terroza’s things and take her money and anything important looking.
The only thing of worth you find on her is a few measly coins, a key to what you’re going to guess is her guard trunk and a guard badge. That and her armor. She probably wasn’t planning on being eaten today, so she probably left most of her stuff at home. How ungrateful.
>You might need to figure out a way to take her armor with you, since you’re going to need it to look like her.
Hmm… maybe you only need to keep her breast plate and shoulder pads? That’s where her insignia is, after all. Hopefully, Yate can keep them here for a while until you can move them yourself.


>First thing you should do is check on Justina and Karn, see how they’re holding up.
:JustinaFoS: Ow…
:KarnFoS: We’ll need to get you to a healer as soon as we can. That doesn’t look good even with the mending… whoever that masked guy is did.
:JustinaFoS: I-I don’t t-think I’ve ever h-had a wound like this b-before…
:EmaFoS: How are you two holding up?
:KarnFoS: I’m just peachy. Got a few bruises from… whatever it was that knocked me out, but other than that I’m fine. Can’t say the same for the bard.
:JustinaFoS: I… I n-need to s-see someone a-about this…
:EmaFoS: Head to Oran and get her a healing potion, maybe?
:KarnFoS: No, this will require an actual healer.
:JustinaFoS: H-hey, Ema… I… t-thank you… a-again for saving my life. I’m not sure w-what exactly happen but… thanks…
:EmaFoS: Just in a day’s work for a “hero”, eh?
:JustinaFoS: Haha… hah… I don’t know how you did it, but I guess a real hero can always find victory in the jaws of defeat. I was so sure that beast crushed your head or something before I fell unconscious but… I m-must have been mistaken! It’s not like even a hero can regrow their head our of sheer will, haha! That would be just silly.
:KarnFoS: Yeah… silly… and is that masked guy a friend of yours or…?
:EmaFoS: In a way, yes.
:KarnFoS: Well, you better tell him I don’t appreciate being tied up like that. He did explain that he wasn’t sure I was a threat to that old lady or not, but still…
:EmaFoS: Why don’t you tell them yourself? They are right over there, after all.
:KarnFoS: Because I’ve had enough crap happen for one day. I rather just get out of here and not pick a fight with some masked weirdo, please.
:JustinaFoS: I c-can’t say no to leaving either…
:KarnFoS: So we’re getting out of here as fast as we can, before you drag us into something even more dangerous, Ema.

>Justina, by the way, now owes you her life.
She already did so before, but now she owes it twice and she knows it.

>When they leave, ask Yate about the stones.
:MaskedFoS: What haven’t I already said about them?
:EmaFoS: Oh, I don’t know… like what they are!?
:MaskedFoS: They are three stones that are very valuable to my kind, they were stolen by your kind and horrid things happened because of that.
:EmaFoS: I know there are something you aren’t telling me.
:MaskedFoS: I don’t trust you. It is as simple as that.
:EmaFoS: …fair enough. Though, that doesn’t really motivate me to get the stones for you.
:MaskedFoS: Find a stone for me and I’ll tell you more about them and how they are connected to your old home.
:EmaFoS: Of course you will.

>Go to the library and practice being hungry, maybe you'll learn about your town AND some self-control.
If you want to get to the library and have enough time actually read anything before they closes for the night you better hurry. Leaving Yate’s abode, you find yourself exiting a basement of a ruined house just outside the city walls, near one of the smaller gates. You can’t help but wonder how they actually managed to drag both you, Karn, Justina and Terroza without anyone noticing… or anyone of you escaping, for that matter. Either way, into the city you go!

The city streets are still bustling, as many are just getting off from work for the night as the sun is starting to set. Luckily, no one pays any mind about a blue girl just walking around with a goal in mind.

>The stones deserve more attention now that we know the baroness is after them. But tomorrow, this day have being as tumultuous as it could get.
Having your head being crushed is exhausting… so yes, let’s start looking for the stones tomorrow in earnest.
>If the first priority is getting fed, we can either go eat the prostitute or fuck the innkeeper's son.
You have a feeling that seducing the innkeeper son will require more than just wiggling a butt towards him… and how are you supposed to find Terrozas brother anyway? It’s not like you’ll just turn the corner and-

-dammit, that always work in the books. But as you were saying, you will probably not just bump into him on random.
>You could go fuck the alchemist.
He’s probably already empty from being with Tunu all day.
>So can you feed while you have someone trapped in your belly or no?
…you’re pretty sure you can? At least in the non-eating way.
>Can’t exactly do that with Terroza in your belly, since you still don’t know if you can selectively digest one person in your belly or if you collectively digest everything in your belly.
Which is why you’ll need to eat someone else and try it? You can’t learn what and what you can’t if you don’t try!
>Terrozas brother should be dealt with before they notice her team went missing.
You’ll need to find him first…
>We should visit him this night after we acquire Terrozas's form.
That would make it easy to get close to him, yes… but you don’t want to absorb Terroza just yet, do you?
>Oh brotherrrrrrrr~ We have something we need to discuuuuuuuuussss~ NOW~
She did hint that she was… well, close to him. Really close. Maybe you can use her form to feed yourself in the other way before you… wait, would that give you more energy than just eating them or would it give you the same amount? After all, you’re consuming the same amount and… hmm…

You start taking shortcuts through the dark alleys to get to the library faster, just to make sure you make it before they close up. Besides, who knows? Maybe you’ll be jumped by some bandit you can eat or a-

Pretend nothing is wrong and flirt with him, so you can get closer to him. If you can arrange to pay him for sex, you can get him in a hotel room, then paralyze and tie him up while you digest Terroza. Then you can gobble him up as a replacement training device and emergency ration.
Actually having sex with him beforehand would be like two birds with one stone, assuming he's innocent enough for you to benefit from it. Or does that not matter? I thought it did...

Ah, since the baroness was only searching for two of the stones you can reasonably guess that she either already has one of the stones or knowledge of where one is located. So, you get the baroness, you likely get one of the stones or directions to where one is, either from her notes or absorbing her thoughts.

I thought we were gonna test if Ema could selectively digest or if she can only collectively digest if the opportunity presented itself. Not saying one way or another whether to do things this way, but if they do go this way then it seems like a waste of such a opportunity.

You would probably be rather grumpy as well if someone you barely knew dragged you into a deadly situation that ended with you getting knocked cold before finding yourself tied up in some weirdo’s basement.

That’s that nomad fortune teller, the one you were at earlier, remember?
>Ah, since the baroness was only searching for two of the stones you can reasonably guess that she either already has one of the stones or knowledge of where one is located.
Hmm… that’s right. So if you get the baroness, you might get one of the stones! But something tells you it won’t be that easy to get to her… someone as evil as her can’t be an easy target, can she?

>Speaking of someone to eat..mmmmhmmmm that’s one hot man right there waiting to be gobbled up.
You’re not sure why, but him looking like a cutie does make him more appetizing for some reason.
>Lure him until he's cornered before you reveal what you had for lunch.
As fun as it would be to see his face as it dawns on him what you did to his sister, you’d rather have the element of surprise, just in case.
>If you can arrange to pay him for sex, you can get him in a hotel room, then paralyze and tie him up while you digest Terroza. Then you can gobble him up as a replacement training device and emergency ration.
He probably have his own place he brings his customers, but yes, that would be an easy way to lure him somewhere private… though, Justina is the emergency ration, isn’t she?

>I thought we were gonna test if Ema could selectively digest or if she can only collectively digest if the opportunity presented itself.
You definitely need to test this for the future. Or train yourself to do so. After all, being able to catch and carry around a lot of people without gorging yourself would be invaluable!
>if this doesn’t work, then you’ve doomed yourself to needing to eat 2 people a day to satisfy your hunger. 3 people a day, depending on how long it’s been since you digested Tana.
You’re pretty sure it isn’t an exact line that you’ll cross just like that. If anything, you’re pretty sure the swords warned you to not eat out of desire, but only out of hunger, and you’re starving. It’s not gluttony if you’re actually hungry, is it?
>Actually having sex with him beforehand would be like two birds with one stone.
Though, would it actually give you more energy? You’re still getting his… life energy inside you, no matter what, right? Hmm…
>Assuming he's innocent enough for you to benefit from it. Or does that not matter? I thought it did...
The only time innocent matter is when you want to eat someone. You can’t eat those whose souls are pure while those that are guilty taste delicious. The worse they are the better! Getting energy the other way doesn’t factor in innocence in anyway.
>Also damn, he THICC.
Those fat hips are perfect to either breed you or feed you… or both.

>Remember, you're not supposed to know he's Terroza's brother, so don't ask him about his sister or anything like that.
You’ll make sure to not mention anything that happened at the herbalist at all.
>Subtly make sure he can see your hands, so, in case he's suspicious, he doesn't think you're hiding a weapon.
Your hands are at your sides fully visible and your swords are still inside you, so he has nothing to worry about.

:EmaFoS: Err… w-wait, wha-
:FoodFoS: Such an… exotic coloration. Such a strong… body. And those amethyst eyes…

He walks up to you in sultry way, making sure to mesmerize you with his hip moments as he moves. Placing a hand on your hip, he lets the other one slowly caress your chest as he looks you up and down with dreamy eyes.

:FoodFoS: You can’t blame a connoisseur of fine women like me for wanting a sample… can you?
:EmaFoS: …oh! Oh! I see what you’re doing. Now is the time you mention your price, isn’t it?

:FoodFoS: …when you get addicted to my cute little tush and my… large… hard… throbbing… cock?

:FoodFoS: …I have plans for you… so… want to follow little old me home for the night? Hmm?

>Aren't we supposed to be marginally a good person? Isn’t consuming a whore a bad thing?
But he tried to have you killed! At least, you think he tried? You met him on the way to the herbalist and you felt his soul darken, then soon after Terroza, who we know he is connected to, came running looking for you. He might also be the reason why Terroza was after you in the first place, as you kind of mentioned wanting to get rid of her to him?
Either way, he smells delicious thus he deserves this kind of Justice.
…or does he just smell this delicious because you’re hungry? Karn and Justina also smell delicious when you’re hungry and you’ve found the will to forgive them, haven’t you?
Does he deserve your tummy or is he redeemable?
Still, he did invite you to his abode for some fun, so you can feed of him that way… and then gobble him up?
Or wait, maybe it’s a trap! His souls did get a bit darker, right… at least, you think so? Maybe you want to gobble him up right here and now!
…or maybe he’s too innocent to do so and you should just… follow him into the trap which will make him more evil and… deserving to be eaten?

Okay, now you’re just confusing yourself…

He's guilty of some bad things. Remember, he smelled tastier than your sinner friends even when you were thinking clearly. Heck, let's set those three as the limit of sin. Anyone above that is potential food, anyone below that you should make some effort to redeem or at least avoid eating.
Personally I think this guy is going to try to sell you to the Baroness's kidnappers. He's guilty of accessory to murder, but likely has only done it with blue-skinned Sakkilians such as yourself.

So if you go along with his plan, you're probably going to have to fight more goons. Agree to the prostitution but disagree with whatever location he suggests. Get him to a nearby hotel or something, get some life energy from sex then interrogate him.

For all we know, the swords just might not like flamboyant prostitutes.
But we are most likely gonna have to kill him since he'll think we killed his sis if they ever talked about how she was gonna attack you.

"Well, thick as your hips are, I'm not interested right now, sweetie."

If we do kill him, we shouldn't eat him - just shift into bandit birb form, paralyze + stab, and either just leave the body there (after stealing his valuables, b/c why not), or, if the opportunity presents itself, dump his body outside a large sewer grate and hope rats or sewer monsters or whatever eat at it.

>For all we know, the swords just might not like flamboyant prostitutes.
…do the swords even have likes and dislikes? Wait, what do the swords have to do with this? They aren’t the one who decides whom is tasty or not… are they? The guilty is the ones who taste good but… who decide who is guilty and who is not? Hmm…
>Tell both of them you won't start digesting for as long as they screw.
Can they even screw down there? You’re not sure in what state they find themselves in after you eat them… this clearly needs to be explored further! Maybe you can get Oran to volunteer to go down there and take a look… with a rope around him, of course, so you can pull him out again… or… well… you can always just absorb him when he’s down there anyway…
>Honestly, if you're going to stress over him that much, maybe it'd be better if you just struck him from the menu entirely. Don't have any truck with him, and get on with your unlife.
You’re not so sure about you having no “truck” with him. After all, he’ll notice that his sister is suddenly missing and you’ll probably be his first suspect. Or he’ll notice your impersonation of Terroza is wrong and act on that. Either way, he’s a loose end that needs to be tied up.

>Remember, he smelled tastier than your sinner friends even when you were thinking clearly.
That’s right, he did! He might have tried to hide it behind that massive amount of perfume he wears, but he was tasty from the start!
>Heck, let's set those three as the limit of sin. Anyone above that is potential food, anyone below that you should make some effort to redeem or at least avoid eating.
Right, so Justina, Oran and Karn are the baseline. Anyone above them is food will everyone else is not. That will be easy to follow.

>You can sense dark intentions when people’s thoughts turn towards cruelty. His implication is that he is going to do something awful.
So… then it is a trap! …or some really intense bondage play?
>I’m pretty sure that means that he doesn’t plan on having sex with you. He might be trying to get you to let your guard down so that he can stab you or something.
He’s definitely up to something… which means you can’t really take the chance, even if you really want to feel those thick hips of his slam into yours. Hmm… you’ll just have to be content to use them yourself, eh?
>Personally I think this guy is going to try to sell you to the Baroness's kidnappers.
It wouldn’t surprise you if Terroza had been working with whoever is kidnapping people… nor would it surprise you if this tasty little treat was working as the bait.

>If you can gauge it in percentages, how evil is his soul from 0% to 100%, and what % was Terroza's?
Err… you don’t know if evil is really something you can quantify like that? You guess if the baroness is 100% evil, Terroza would be somewhere around… 50%? And this one would be around… 30%? Maybe? Karn, Justina and Oran are about 10% and Danus is a big 0%. Oh, and Drago is like… -10% or something.
>Interrogate him.
If you can get him somewhere no one will hear him scream… but that’s not very likely.
>If you want to go the peaceful path then you just need to swallow him and see if you can regurgitate him.
…you really don’t want to puke something up… but you guess if you really need to…

He doesn’t even have time to react as you engulf his head, then with one quick motion you heave his body up in the air and let gravity help his descend into your gullet. It only takes a few seconds, as he doesn’t even try to struggle, either out of shock, surprise or just acceptance that he is food and nothing else. You’re getting quicker… a lot quicker…

>At least take his necklace before you attempt to eat him! He said it keeps him warm and you always complain about being cold, so you should obviously take it for yourself!
You made sure to pull off his necklace as you started to consume him, as it might be useful.

Now… where were you? On your way to the library? Hmm… your body is screaming for energy and you’re not sure you’ll be able to read with that kind of distraction. Maybe it’s time to feed properly?

A) Digest Terroza. She deserves it the most and her form might be useful later.
B) Digest… whatever his name was. You really want access to his body to play around with and it will be really useful to feed with without eating people, won’t it?

Digest the prostitute, his form is more useful for the time being. Terroza will die eventually, no need to rush her fate. Also uh, I don't think her form will be that useful. Her squad got wiped out, she'll be presumed dead and I don't think you can really pretend to be her for long just because of how much nasty shit she's been doing. Anyone who knows her will expect you to do evil things and we're trying to avoid that.

She needs to be dealt with already. Just don't use Terroza's form around Justina.

When you're done, check to see if you can still feel her brother or not. If you can, congratulations, you can selectively digest people in your belly. If you can't, then you've learned something new about yourself.

...hey, now that I think about it, can you use Terroza's magic now? If you can, can you use it in any form or do you have to be in Terroza's form?

As soon as you put it on you feel the warmth spread through your body. It’s like sitting in front of a well-lit hearth with a comfy blanked. You’ll hide it behind your scarf for now, just in case though.
>What percentages would you estimate Gev, Vivian, and Tunu having, for further reference?
Vivi would be… um… tastier than the one you just ate but less tasty than Terroza… Tana was about the same as the prostitute, if maybe a smidge tastier while Tunu is somewhere between Oran and Danus. Gev… you have no idea, actually. You were way too starved by that point to really know for sure… but he was super tasty.

>Eat both!
You wish you should just absorb them both right now but… you have to show restraint. In due time and all that…
>Digesting either one is gonna be horrifying to the other.
…err… maybe? You have no idea if they know the other is there or not, do you… and even then, will they have enough time to figure out what’s actually going on?
>Have them screw first, you might be able to glean energy from that. It is useful as an experiment if nothing else.
…how would you even do that? How would you even tell if they did that? Can they even do that? So many questions… and most don’t really need to be answered to be honest.
>But wouldn't this be considered evil? Are we allowed to do evil stuff?
It’s not evil, it’s JUSTICE! Well, the whole forcing them to fuck for your amusement is kind of evil, so… let’s skip that part for now. But yes, they are a danger to others, so they deserve Justice and all that…
>Oh well, at least they got to meet one last time before they died.
See, you’re a good person. Kind of… in a way?


>Digest Terroza. We’ve been over this. She deserves this for all of the people she’s hurt, so let’s get it over with and digest her already!
Focusing on the large body of Terroza, you start the process of absorbing her… and only her… you think? A wave of energy washes over you as you suddenly feel like a kid on to much sugar, as you really needed to feed again after regrowing your head. You only hope you’ll get a moment of rest to properly digest her.
>Her squad got wiped out, she'll be presumed dead and I don't think you can really pretend to be her for long just because of how much nasty shit she's been doing.
You’re sure you can find some use of her form in some way. Well, at least until they found all those people in the woods and start thinking she’s either dead or a murderer.
>I’m wondering why we didn’t digest them first and then eat this one but...oh well.
Where would you have the time to do that? You barely had time to eat Terroza before you ran into her brother.
>Just don't use Terroza's form around Justina.
Well, duh, no need to traumatize her even more.
>Hey, now that I think about it, can you use Terroza's magic now?
You… err… don’t think so? You have no idea where to even start with magic so… um… no?
>Can we try and make her brother repent?
That would require you to spit him out again… and your rather not do that. Then again, you do want a chance to properly sample that body of his so… hmm…
>And one more thing, if Terroza's brother was wearing anything metal, then try to not cough any of it up in front of anyone.
Ugh, maybe you should just spit him out later. You can always eat him again after you’ve stripped him of metals, after all… if he doesn’t repent and all that.

You finally arrive at the library, with some time to spare even, and find it… mostly empty. The only one here seems to be a librarian hidden away among the dusty books. An albino Sakkilian… who is completely engrossed in some book? She smells almost as pure as Drago, though only almost.

Don't do that, that's too much trouble. Just make sure you're somewhere private when you decide to digest him, so that you can dispose of any metals you cough up.

I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Remember when Ema was in Vivian's form when she was having sex with Karn? Ema said she couldn't stay in Vivian's form and she changed back.

It'll be pretty difficult for Ema to have sex in any form that isn't her own if she's always going to run the risk of unexpectedly changing back to normal during sex. Unless eating people let's her extend how long she can stay transformed?

I actually have an idea about how to do that:
1. Turn into Terroza before you spit him out.
2. Slap him around to get him out of "his drug-induced hallucination." Ema might be a bad liar, but Terroza could make a better one, or be in character at least.
3. Yell at him to ask if he can shape up to be a better person. If he reacts badly or violently, that would be telling in of itself.

Remember other people will care about us eating people regardless of who we eat, and every person we eat increases the chance that the next person we fight and eat will be less evil, especially if they're doing it for things we did. We have to do everything we can to keep things from escalating to the point we have to eat an innocent person to survive.
And evil people do have loved ones here. Probably more evil loved ones, but sometimes less evil ones too. And those loved ones could turn to evil in absence of the one they cared for: they could do anything to take revenge, or lack a moral backstop to prevent them from sliding further. Increasing the quality of a meal should be important too.
I'm just saying we should set a higher bar for corruption for now and suggested a possible way to get out of eating him or making him more tasty. We can find more evil people.

Lookup twin nobles living in Stoneburg to find out who Vivian was going to sell you two. Also, Terroza told her guards they were there looking for "fucking magical stones" for the "fucking asshole twins," which is likely not a coincidence. So how do these twins fit into matters? Who are they under or are in cahoots with? And what's more, Terroza later said, right before you swallowed her, that it was the duchess looking for two egg shaped stones, not the baroness. So is it the duchess or the baroness? Because if the duchess is involved as well this shit just got a whole lot more dangerous.

Well, whatever the twins are, they're undoubtedly wicked just from enslaving and trafficking in people and thus both are valid meal targets. And since they're nobles and in on getting the egg stones for the baroness (or duchess,) if you eat one you can use their form to possibly get close to the baroness. Maybe close enough to eat her. But even if you can't get close enough for that, you may be able to find out more about the egg stone she has or knows of and what she knows about the other two.

>Just make sure you're somewhere private when you decide to digest him, so that you can dispose of any metals you cough up.
You definitely want to absorb him somewhere quiet and calm. All this running around and having to talk to people is making taking care of Terroza a bit of a shore, so you want the next one to be more enjoyable.
>Don’t spit him out.
Then it’s settled, he is food and nothing more.
>Terroza said, right before you swallowed her, that it was the duchess looking for two egg shaped stones, not the baroness.
You’re pretty sure Terroza is just… was just stupid and said the wrong word. There isn’t a duchess anywhere around here, as far as you know.

>Let's ask the swords about magic.

>Isn't your "paralyzing touch" considered magic?
:SwordFoS: In a way. You are a magical creature in nature, thus you have some innate magical abilities in you, for example your paralyzing touch… or your shape changing abilities. But the shape stealers you met in the woods are magical creatures as well and you don’t expect them to suddenly know how to cast a fireball, do you?

>I don't think it's a good idea to seduce anyone in a form that's not our "true" one, especially if it involves changing our sex. That both feels dishonest and likely to lead to shenanigans.
Hmm… but what if it was something that might be considering our other “true” form? After all, Elric is our own creation, making him basically… well, you? Its easiest form to change into as well for some reason… hmm…
>Remember when Ema was in Vivian's form when she was having sex with Karn? Ema said she couldn't stay in Vivian's form and she changed back.
That was because you had been running around in different forms for a long while… and it was less about being forced to change and more that you simply got a bit tired holding it. You changed back because you wanted the best experience with Karn at the time, not because any real limitation. There clearly is a limit somewhere, but you’re not sure yet where exactly it is.

>She seems like a fine specimen, don't you think?
Wide in the right places, cute glasses and an exotic color… a bit older than you, but you’ve already gotten over that part with Danus, haven’t you? A fine specimen indeed.
>Both of you have something in common. You’ve both got uncommon scale colors!
That’s true… though, you’re pretty sure being albino come with a lot of more problems than just being blue.
>Is she... masturbating? She is sweating profusely, her statistically most likely dominant hand is under the desk and she has a look of unwarranted concentration on her face.
While she is sweating like crazy, both her hands are above the table, so while whatever she is reading is captivating, it’s not that captivating in that way.
>With how she's sweating I bet it's a lewd book. Try to sneak a peek at the title of the book.

You start in the M section, looking for any books about your current predicament and find… an empty shelf?

:ElricFoS: Excuse me, where are the books on exotic undead?
:NonFoS: Oh… um… s-sorry but… I do b-believe they are c-currently being borrowed?
:ElricFoS: …by who?
:NonFoS: By some Va- err… I m-mean, c-can’t tell y-you that…

Your next stop is the books about local history, including the current noble families. Apparently, the Baroness nieces are a pair of twins, a male and a female one, named Augintra and Augustus Ebresvärd. They might be the ones you’re looking for.

:ElricFoS: Do you happen to know anything about a pair of noble twins by any chance?
:NonFoS: Those two? Err… n-no… well… um… I m-mean, it w-was a few y-years ago but… t-they used t-to come b-by and s-stare at me but… um… they kind of stopped?
:ElricFoS: Stare?
:NonFoS: Err… y-yes… um… pretending not to stare but… um… t-that was years ago?

Lastly, you look into the history of the surrounding regions. There are several smaller files concerning each of the areas, so you’ll just have to find the right one. Let’s see… Umriver… Skeftriver… Lulriver… where is Dalriver? It’s not here?

:ElricFoS: Do you happen to know where the file on Dalriver is, cutie?
:NonFoS: Err… l-let’s see… um… ah, h-here... it s-says… they a-are to be moved to t-the restriction s-section on o-orders of the Baroness… um… s-sorry…
:ElricFoS: …can’t you get it for me?
:NonFoS: Err… yes, I- I mean, no… I m-mean, I got the k-key but… err… I’ll n-need the head librarians permission first and… um…
:ElricFoS: So, where is the head librarian?
:NonFoS: U-upstairs, but… err… y-you c-can’t g-go t-to him now! W-we’re closing up a-and… he have ordered me to not let a-anyone see him an h-hour before closing time? He h-hates getting visitors even w-when we aren’t c-closing.

Alrighty, she's too cute. Let's seduce us an albino, but tone down the flirting just a bit.
You're coming onto her TOO strong if you want to eventually be cumming onto her.
I'd say you should apologize for coming on so hard.
"Oh, how rude of me - I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Elric. Who might you be, fine lady?"
[after getting name]
"Ah, well, [name], my apologies for how forward I've been - you seemed so adorably flusterable when I walked in, not to mention that I've never seen an albino of our kind before; it is indeed a most striking appearance."

Make sure you throw in a "thicker than a dictionary" joke if the opportunity arises in order to defuse some of the tension.

Once flirting is done, and if we can't use that to worm out way into the restricted section, ask for when the library opens up, and when the least terrible time to see the Head Librarian would be.

>I guess they were staring at her because they were trying to decide if they wanted to harvest her organs or not. Which is the same reason Vivian tried to sell you to them.
Wait, didn’t Vivi try and sell you because of your scale color? What does that have to do with your organs? No, you’re pretty sure she tried to sell you as some kind of exotic slave or something… but yes, they probably considered the librarian as well because she has an exotic scale color as well.
>So those books have been checked out by either a varkian or a vampire.
It has to have been a Varkian. Who in their right mind would actually identify as a vampire? …and she doesn’t seem to be as big of a nerd as Oran either…
>I have the feeling that someone knows you are in town and wants you to stay ignorant.
…or alternatively, someone knows you’re here and wants to know more about you… to either help or stop you… probably the latter.

>Aww, look at her blush! She looks so cute like that!
She’s super adorable! You bet she’ll make super adorable squeaks as you scissor her into… wait, you’re a male right now, not female… you kind of forgot about that for a second.
>Alrighty, she's too cute. Let's seduce us an albino.
Haven’t you already?
>Aren't you laying it on a bit thick? I mean, it seems to be working with her, but i feel you are trying WAY too hard.
…you’re really not experienced with flirting, okay!? You’re mostly just mimicking the things that… that guy you ate told you. It was his job, after all, so he had to know what he was doing, right?
>You're coming onto her TOO strong if you want to eventually be cumming onto her.
This whole male thing is kind of new to you, but you really do want to know how it feels to fill someone completely. Maybe you should slow down a bit?


>Keep on the flirting. Bend over for a low book to show her that shapely rear. She'll go wild.
Pretending that you’re looking for a book that might be on the bottom shelf, you bend over while making sure your cute tush in on full display. She audibly gasp for air when you lift your tail to give her a better view and you can’t help but give her a little wiggle in response. Looking over your shoulder, you manage to lock eyes with her for barely a second before she avert her gaze in embarrassment.

:ElricFoS: Why, I completely forgot! How rude of me, but I never did introduce myself, did I? I am Elric.
:AlisaFoS: Oh…err… t-that’s a… c-cute name… *cough*…
:ElricFoS: Might you honor me with your name as well, my fine lady?
:AlisaFoS: I-I’m Alisa.
:ElricFoS: A wonderful name for a wonderful lady, then. But I must do apologize for how forward I’ve been. You just seemed so adorably flustered that I couldn’t help myself.
:AlisaFoS: Err… i-it’s f-fine… I mean… um… I’ve never… no one has ever… err…
:ElricFoS: No one has appreciated your striking appearance before? For shame. I might never have seen someone with your scale color before, but that only make you so much more special, doesn’t it?
:AlisaFoS: S-special isn’t always good…


>Tell her that if you can't get the books you want, maybe she has something else of interest, hmm?
:AlisaFoS: EH!? W-W-WHAT D-DO YOU MEAN BY T-THAT!?
:ElricFoS: Well… for starters, you can tell me the least terrible time to see the head librarian would be…
:AlisaFoS: …oh…

She honestly seem extremely disappointed… maybe playing with her like that is a bit much…

:AlisaFoS: Well… he doesn’t work before ten and… um… I guess right after lunch?
:ElricFoS: Then I guess I’ll have to come back then… or… hmhm… maybe a lovely lady can help me right now? I just need to take a quick peek on some book that is in the restricted section.
:AlisaFoS: Eh? I… I c-can’t just-
:ElricFoS: Just think about it. The two of us… alone… in our own little private haven. Oh, why, if you would be so kind, I would have no choice but to reward you… all night long… heh…

With a broad, tooth filled smile, you give her a wink. You can see her shiver as she stares at your… mouth? Huh…

:AlisaFoS: Err… y-you m-m-mean…
:ElricFoS: [/small]If you’re a good girl, I might just show you my big, thick dic…[spoiler]

:ElricFoS: So… what do you say?
:AlisaFoS: I… I c-can’t j-just… err… I mean… I w-want… um…

So... what’s the plan? Continue with the ploy to seduce her into letting you into the restricted section? Or do you just invite her over to the inn… or to her own home? After all, you’ll be happy just getting to… feel her body for a bit. You can’t believe you’re actually considering this, but maybe you should just leave her wanting more for now and come back later. After all, waiting make the reward that much sweeter…

…and by sweet you mean your… you know…

You know what? You should go tell Danus about Alisa.

You managed to convince Danus to try dating and Alisa looks like she’d be close to his age, maybe a little younger than him. I think it would be worth the attempt to try and make them both happy!

.....well, after you’ve had your turn with Alisa, then you can tell Danus about the lonely looking librarian lady.

>Or do you just invite her over to the inn…or to her own home?
Neither Ema nor Elric have a room at the inn, which I assume is Danus’ inn. And it’s doubtful that you can find a room at any of the inns because they’re all full from people that are here for the festival.

You might be better off going to her house.

Well, maybe, but Ema needs to meet her in her "normal" body first. If Ema tells Danus about Alisa, the origin of the information might get back to Alisa and she'll be left wondering how she could have possibly forgotten meeting a blue-scaled Sakkilian. Might even tell Danus about it.

I meant calling her thick as a dictionary, you cactacian fool

Now that I think about it, trying to illegally access the restricted section when you've not even met the head librarian is a bit overzealous, especially if it could cost a cutie like her her job. You risk getting neither the book nor laid!

Tone down the aggressive flirting, switch to more sparse, opportunistic tactics for the more teasing complements.
Spend some time talking with her. Get to know her. Bitches love a guy who's interested in learning their interests.

If you need to come up with your life story:
Your name is Elric deRivier, a Sakkalian adventurer from a small town in the region. You were orphaned soon after birth, and adopted at a young age by a Varkian couple, which is your last name sounds so flamboyant. You fit in rather well among your family, even with your boisterous brother and mischievous sister; after all, birds are just fluffy reptiles with silly faces. In order to prevent others from suffering the loss of their parents in a monster attack, you decided to become an adventurer/mercenary that hunts them down. You have little experience, but you're trying your best to learn how to combat monsters common in the region. Your first name is actually Euricus (see: Varkian parents) but you prefer to go by Elric or Eric, as it's both shorter, more Sakkalian, and easier to moan during sex.

>Is it just me, or you are more able to control your lust when you are a male? When you are Ema you are way more impatient.
Huh, that’s right. You don’t feel as lustful as you used to in this form. You guess that myth about males being less horny is true?
>You should go tell Danus about Alisa. You managed to convince Danus to try dating and Alisa looks like she’d be close to his age, maybe a little younger than him.
You’re pretty sure she’s a bit older than him, actually. She’s in her early forties or late thirties, at least, and Danus is… in his late thirties, early forties… err… either way, it can’t hurt to introduce them to one another, can it?
>Sex the albino regardless.
Well, of course. It would be rude to not make sure she’s properly trained in the fine arts of nightly delights before brining Danus attention to her.

>Trying to illegally access the restricted section when you've not even met the head librarian is a bit overzealous, especially if it could cost a cutie like her her job. You risk getting neither the book nor laid!
While not getting to try out your new equipment and not getting information about your past is bad, making an innocent like this suffer is unforgivable!
>Coming back to meet the head librarian first thing tomorrow isn't much of a delay, honestly.
And considering you don’t really have anything that’s super urgent anyway… let’s come back tomorrow, that will probably be for the best.
>Neither Ema nor Elric have a room at the inn, which I assume is Danus’ inn. And it’s doubtful that you can find a room at any of the inns because they’re all full from people that are here for the festival.
Oh, right, the festival… you’d almost forgotten about that. Wait, wasn’t Danus going to the festival tomorrow? But yes, that does mean you’ll have to rely on Alisa here for a room if you’re to… get to know her better in private.


>Tell her you appreciate her devotion to her duties. You like virtuous women especially.
:AlisaFoS: Eh? Y-you… do? I mean, speaking of duties, I… I really need to start closing down the library for the day and… err…
:ElricFoS: In that case, you wouldn’t mind if I kept you company while you do so? I promise I won’t be burden.
:AlisaFoS: Um… I… guess not? I mean, I g-guess yes? Err… y-yes, can s-stay, not that y-you’re a… um… burden or… anything… just don’t let the head librarian see-

The albino cutie is cut off before she can finish her sentence by someone yelling from the floor above.

:NonFoS: Alisa? Who are you talking to!? We’re supposed to be closed!
:AlisaFoS: Err… s-sorry, Mr. Grayfeather, I w-was just… t-talking to myself again.
:NonFoS: Humph. Just make sure you lock up properly before you leave. I’ll retire to my apartment for the evening.
:AlisaFoS: Of course, Mr. Grayfeather, goodnight!
:NonFoS: *grumble* Only a fool talks to themselves like that… *grumble*

You can hear someone… “walking” away before the distant sound of a door being thrown shut echoes through the quiet library. Either this Grayfeather have one hell of a limp, or… you’re not sure. Their footsteps sounded really odd.

:AlisaFoS: S-sorry about t-that… b-but he’s right, I need to lock this place up and… um…
:ElricFoS: I’m at your disposal, Alisa, if you need me to help with anything.
:AlisaFoS: Eh? Oh, no… no need, I… I just n-need to t-turn off all the light runes and lock up the door so… um…
:ElricFoS: Then, when you’re done, how about we go somewhere for some engaging conversation and… heh… more?
:AlisaFoS: M-more!? Err… I m-mean… I got an apartment j-just around the c-corner and… um… I’m n-not sure I know anything… err… engaging to converse about…
:ElricFoS: Nonsense! I’m dying to know more about such a fascinating individual as yourself!
:AlisaFoS: Eh? Y-you want to know a-about me? I… um… there isn’t much to know… um… grew up with only my pa, moved here eight years ago and… worked here ever since?
:ElricFoS: Why did you move here?
:AlisaFoS: Oh, I… I mean… um… y-you see… err… it’s like this… um… Elric, I…. you… err…
:ElricFoS: Relax, if you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine.
:AlisaFoS: Um… well… I m-mean… there isn’t much more… to… say?

>If she seems hesitant just brush yourself against her a little.
Having turned her back towards you after that last sentence, you take one step forward and makes her gasp as you grab the sides right above her hips. After making sure she’s fine with your touch, you continue stroking her sides while moving your hands up to her shoulders. She shivers and arcs her back as you slowly trace her spine with one of your fingers, but just as your reaches the base of her tail she turns around and lightly pushes your hand away.
:AlisaFoS: N-not… h-here…
:ElricFoS: No need to worry… Alisa, you’re in good hands…
:AlisaFoS: It’s j-just… I’ve never a-actually… brought a man home before and… err…
:ElricFoS: You haven’t been on a date before?
:AlisaFoS: Eh? Of c-course I’m been on a date! A lot of dates! It’s just… err… well… I’m just… look at me…
:ElricFoS: A beautiful sculpture as if carved by the very goddesses themselves.
:AlisaFoS: My scales are a freaky color…
:ElricFoS: Like diamonds glistering in the setting sun.
:AlisaFoS: …I’m fat…
:ElricFoS: Voluptuous with curves in all the right places. I for one prefer book that are thick like a dictionary and not some short novella.
:AlisaFoS: Heh… and… I’m k-kind of a bore…
:ElricFoS: You’re just a bit shy, that’s all.
:AlisaFoS: And… t-the few that manage to see past all t-that… usually just calls me freak anyway when they find out that I like that thing with the… ugh, and I k-keep ranting like t-this without thinking when I get going as well…
:ElricFoS: It can’t be that bad. No one deserves to be called that.
:AlisaFoS: I don’t know… I’m just n-not like the other ladies around, I am? I’m not strong… or brave… or… or dominant or… anything!
:ElricFoS: …you know… I hear that in Varkian and Human societies, males are often considered the dominant ones…

:AlisaFoS: Ah- Ah- Ah- Elrnah!- Elricnng- Ah- Ah- Ah-

A new sensation fills your body as you find yourself between Alisa’s large hips, your member nestled snuggly deep within her . The two of you skipped all the foreplay, as in her excitement she practically dragged you into her apartment and threw herself into the bed before telling you to just try and dominate her. Within seconds both of your clothes were strewn around the room while you pinned her to the bed and adjusted yourself one last time. You were barely able to contain yourself as you penetrated her for the first time, but with some willpower and thoughts about sword fighting you managed to keep going. Soon enough the room is filled with the sound of her moans as well as the rhythmic beat of your ballsack slapping against her large posterior over and over again as you breed her. Luckily, she doesn’t seem to be lasting very long either…

:AlisaFoS: Ah- Ah- Ah- Nnfffuck… Ah-
:ElricFoS: Ngg… *huff* I’m get*huff* getting close *huff*

Before you can properly pull out of her one last time, she grabs your back with her legs and forces you to hilt her completely.

:AlisaFoS: NO! N-not… ng… n-not yet…
:ElricFoS: Huh? But… *huff*

Holding you with a vice grip, she ensures that you cannot continue your moments with the exceptions of a few wriggles, though not enough for you to bring yourself over the edge.

:AlisaFoS: O-open your m-mouth.
:ElricFoS: …what?

:ElricFoS: Um…

You have to, don’t you? Would in their right mind ask to be… and… how would they know you can even if they did? No, you simply must have misheard… or misunderstood.

Yeah, no, you’re not asking that. Not now. That would be such a boner ki- err…moment killer.

You bit down on her shoulder blade, hoping this is what she wanted. She instantly let’s go of you and start squirming under you, practically begging for you to continue pumping your member into her once again.

It doesn’t take long for you to reach your peak once again as you feverously thrust into her, your balls aching for release each time they loudly slaps against her buttocks. Your whole body shudders as you hilt her one final time, your cock painting her insides the same color as her scales as you pump rope after rope of your seed into her. But before you can even finish, you feel her grab a hold of your rump and forces you to start thrusting into her again.

:AlisaFoS: AH! AH! AH! DON’T! AH! STOP! AH! AH!

You whine as you force yourself to continue, even as you’re still mid orgasm. It only takes a few more humps before she screams out your name, arching her back as you feel her insides clamp around you, before finally the both of you are allowed to simple collapse on top of each other is bliss. Now you know why Karn got so grumpy when you continued to ride him after he had already nutted, because geez, you’re sensitive down there…

…you have no idea how your throat looks like right now… or how it supposed to look like? That’s not something that you usually keep in mind?
>Just make sure you don’t call out Danus’ name this time!
Well, duh… Danus is the last thing on your mind right now… and… well, you had your mouth full anyway, didn’t you?

:AlisaFoS: That… t-that was amazing…
:ElricFoS: Mmm… all because of your amazing ass, Alisa… heh…
:AlisaFoS: Y-you’re the one that’s amazing, Elric… so… err… y-you want to… clean up together?
:ElricFoS: That would be nice… but let’s just enjoy each other’s presence for a moment first? No need to rush.
:AlisaFoS: You’re right. We g-got all night after all… err… w-wait, do y-you want to s-stay the n-night?
:ElricFoS: Mmm… maybe~
:AlisaFoS: …a-and maybe… if you want to... um… y-you can eat me later?

:ElricFoS: Oh…
:AlisaFoS: Is something wrong?
:ElricFoS: No, I… I just thought you said something else.

Suddenly, she pushes you to the side and sits up with horror written on her face.

:AlisaFoS: Oh fudge…
:ElricFoS: Is something the matter?
:AlisaFoS: I j-just remember I… don’t got any… err… y-you… bitter leaf or anything… I mean… u-unless you actually want me t-to… err…
:ElricFoS: Don’t worry, I got a few in my pocket. Let me get one for you.
:AlisaFoS: T-thank y-you.

You give her one of your leaves for her to chew on and she gladly takes it, though she clearly doesn’t like the taste of it as she makes quite a face after biting down on it.

:AlisaFoS: Bleh! These taste way worse than I thought… I mean, I know they are called bitter leaves, but… do they have to be so damn bitter!?
:ElricFoS: You’ve never had bitter leaves before?
:AlisaFoS: Oh no, I… err… I m-mean… t-this was… k-kind of my… um… f-first… so…

:ElricFoS: Don’t worry about it… you’re just a bit nervous, that’s all.
:AlisaFoS: Still… s-sorry, I k-kind of ruined the moment... I d-don’t even know why I… wait, it was that necklace you had on you, I think?
:ElricFoS: My necklace?
:AlisaFoS: Y-yeah, he has an exact copy of it. I mean… it’s odd… err… I mean, I don’t think y-you’re odd or anything but… err… y-you usually don’t have a fire rune as a necklace like that and… err… I mean… did y-you two buy it at the s-same place or… err… y-you know…?

Tell her it's a warming necklace. They probably all look about the same. As for why you're wearing it, well, you have poor circulation so you get cold easily.

>Swords, you better have a good explanation for this!
:SwordFoS: You have inserted a small part of yourself into her, so it can consume life essence from her and give it to you.
:EmaFoS: (…wait, I’m draining her of life like a damn vampire or something?)
:SwordFoS: No, you’re only consuming the life essence given to her by others in the same way you infested her for the next few days. Depending on the quantity and distance from you, you’ll get some of the essence for yourself to feed on.
:EmaFoS: (…wait, so I’ve turned her into another way to get boys to feed me?)
:SwordFoS: Yes, though I do believe you’ve chosen a poor target for you to feed off…
>I wonder if you just injected a piece of Terroza's soul into Alisa, like a semi-redemption for the better part so the skills she honed with the blood of the innocent is put to some use before it dies.
:SwordFoS: In a way, that’s not completely wrong. Terroza is nothing more than power for you to use by this point, and you used some of your power to infest this specimen, did you not?
>You totally infected her with a zombie virus you dink!
:SwordFoS: The only negative effect is that she won’t be able to bear an egg while you absorb power from her. You didn’t make her into an undead or anything… though; a small side effect is that she will be a bit more protective and accepting of you.

>Okay. So she has a vore fantasy, or your brain is hearing her as if she has a vore fantasy.
Either way, it’s kind of… creepy? Though, it’s one hell of a coincidence if she’s into that kind of stuff… and it’s not the first time you’ve started projecting things, isn’t it? Just remember what happened when you saw the baroness…
>Can vore be simulated without being done?
You can just eat her and then spit her out… though you really don’t want to do that. Alternative, there’s roleplaying…which… you’re not in the mood for?
>Just ignore it. It's not important, and you sure won't indulge it.
That might be for the best for now, as that will work just as well if you’re hallucinating or she’s actually… into it.
>That IS something to talk about, at some point. Maybe not NOW, but eventually.
It might be prudent to at least make sure it’s not just you hearing things, because that might become a problem later. But if it is just her… hmm… most people actually wait until they are dead to get their bodies eaten, and then it’s not in a… sexual manner… and a lot of people have calms consuming their ancestors organs if they are diseased, like the albinism might be considered and… err… let’s drop it for now before this get weirder.


>Say you're not sure what she's talking about, but you think it gleans well against your scales.
:AlisaFoS: Err… I g-guess? It’s just… two identical necklaces?
>Tell her it's a warming necklace. They probably all look about the same.
:AlisaFoS: I mean… t-they would look similar but… err… most people usually wear them in their pocket… or as a brooch or something a not… umm… I mean, unless you don’t have any pocket like he usually didn’t and… err…
:ElricFoS: I just like having a necklace.
:AlisaFoS: I mean… it’s nice?
>I don’t know where he bought his, so I could tell you for sure if he did get it from the same place.
:AlisaFoS: …where do you even buy those things?
:ElricFoS: Err… well… I… didn’t buy it… here? I’m not from out of town so… I can’t say.
:AlisaFoS: …oh, of c-course.

>Change the subject by saying you think you took a bigger bite than you thought. Has she got anything that'll stop it from leaving a mark?
:AlisaFoS: Eh? Oh… that… um… actually, y-you won’t mind if I… err… let it?
:ElricFoS: …you want it to scar?
:AlisaFoS: Boys like things like that… I mean… err… y-you do, right?
:ElricFoS: I think you’re perfect just the way you are, Alisa.
:AlisaFoS: … … …it’s just… I’ve had a lot of boys ask me if I have any neat scars to show them so… I mean… I can j-just lie that it’s from some beast or something but… y-you won’t mind if I-

Her train of thought is quickly derailed by a loud growl originating from her stomach.

:AlisaFoS: Eh? Oh! D-do you want something to eat? I… um… probably got some food around for you to… gobble down… um…
:ElricFoS: Actually, I just ate…
:AlisaFoS: …are you sure? I’m starving… I haven’t had dinner yet, after all.

How odd that you now know Tertian's name despite never hearing it before. A residual memory from digesting Terroza, perhaps? Anyway, don't digest him. Keep him for later, when you're really hungry. Just not too long, though. Even if he somehow can breathe while inside you, he will eventually need water to stay alive. Not for about three days so it likely will not be a issue, but just keep it in mind. ...Though, if he does expire while inside you, wouldn't his life energy just be trapped in you, ready to be digested?

Once you're outta here and somewhere private, better pull the warming rune from that necklace and ditch the necklace. If it's valuable metal you could melt it down to sell, but otherwise just trash it. This way you don't run the risk of someone who knows that Tertian has gone missing asking unwanted questions about where this mysterious out-of-towner got a necklace that looks quite a lot like his. Especially if that someone is investigating Terroza's disappearance and murder of her guards. You can get a brooch or something else to keep it on yourself later.

>No, you’re only consuming the life essence given to her by others in the same way you infested her for the next few days.
Well, then Justinia would be a logical choice to lay with as male. ...Though, with the pain of her hands while they're being healed and recovering and stress of her situation and knowing who you are she may not be in the mood for either laying with you or with others. Hm, so, who else? A female Serpens would make the most sense, but you don't know any. A lady of the night? Maybe, though they aren't common, are they? Eh, it's not that important you need to figure it out now.

Too bad we didn’t do this with Justina. Then we could’ve gotten a lot from her and whoever she sleeps with. But in the condition she’s in now, she’s not going to be in the mood to have sex with anyone for a while.

>Yes, though I do believe you’ve chosen a poor target for you to feed off…
Well if you explained all of this in the first place, then we would’ve picked someone better!

And don’t give us the “You didn’t ask” excuse! You knew we were eventually going to have sex in a male form, so you should’ve just told us ahead of time!

"I'll sit with you for dinner, of course, but I'm not hungry myself; I'll simply get myself some water. I'd offer you a drink, but you've already drained me of what I have on offer." wink

As for her odd interjections, once you've cleaned up and finished dinner, simply lie down with her, comfortingly pet her a bit if she likes that, and ask her what all these Freudian slips mean. Tell her it's important to be honest with sexual partners, else you'll inevitably both be uncomfortable.

I given a lot of thought to why eating Tertian bothers me. It just doesn't feel like proper Justice as it is, just preemptive self-preservation*. All we have right now is our conjecture. I think "Terroza" needs to have one last chat with her brother, or at least contemplate her relationship to him, before we can digest him.
But leave him be for now.

*and I don't consider preservation of the de-facto body of Justice that is us enough. That's a slippery slope of self-righteousness and delusion we don't want to fall into.

Don't digest.

Agree to share the meal.

Possibly an organic way of getting her to spill more about her supposed odd fetish: "By the way, back when we were doing the deed, I got the impression that I did something unexpected. Not that your reaction was negative, but I was somewhat unsure of what it was that I was supposed to have done when you gestured me to open my mouth and said to 'finish' you. Essentially; the bite was 'even better' than what, pray tell?" If she gets flustered about her fetish, express sympathy: "Ha, I would be remiss to think of one who doesn't play host to some less orthodox urges, I think! Perhaps it would be embarrassing if everyone knew of it, but one shouldn't feel ashamed for just having them. Why, I have this one friend who's grown to romanticize the undead in his mind - I'll never confess who, of course." If she inquires toward yours, confess that alas, yours could only exist in the realm of sheer fantasy. Or perhaps magical theory. Or in the realm of the highly illegal, if you dispensed with the subject's safety, though of course, you've never resorted to such barbarism - that would partly defeat the point anyway.

Note to self; visit the courtesan's apartment sometime to see if some of your missing reading list is there.

:SwordFoS: I am a tool for you to use, which means you have to actually use me if you want my help. Besides, you are not stuck with her forever, are you?
:EmaFoS: (Are you seriously giving me the “you didn’t ask” excuse?)
:SwordFoS: I am incapable of remembering anything unless given the correct stimuli, either through a question or something you yourself experience. Though… I am sure I wasn’t as forgetful in the past?
:EmaFoS: (Right, so you’re getting old and senile… great… so… anything else I need to know about Alisa?)
:SwordFoS: Whatever you do, do not absorb someone as innocent as her. She will be like poison to you and even lethally so.
:EmaFoS: (…I wasn’t actually planning on eating her?)
:SwordFoS: People like her will also make you sick if you strike them down without consuming them, as your very being is created to protect them, not harm them.
:EmaFoS: (Noted.)

>How odd that you now know Tertian's name despite never hearing it before.
:SwordFoS: Having access to someone’s very core is… enlightening is some ways.
>Even if he somehow can breathe while inside you, he will eventually need water to stay alive.
:SwordFoS: That won’t be a problem. Your systems will keep them fresh and alive for as long as you have energy to spare, that is to say, as long as you don’t get to hungry. What will be a problem is that they’ll start breaking down on their own after a while, so you’ll probably don’t want to keep someone you don’t want to absorb in there for more than a day or two.

>Save him for later. You don't know when another meal will come along.
Let’s not gorge yourself. After all, the whole point was to prove that you can eat people without absorbing them all at once, wasn’t it?
>See if you can stuff him into Alisa's mouth for science!
…you’re not sure how… and… but… err... and you would need to… get him… and…? Well, you guess might want to get him out for science, but… err… let’s do that when Alisa isn’t around.
>I given a lot of thought to why eating Tertian bothers me. It just doesn't feel like proper Justice as it is, just preemptive self-preservation. All we have right now is our conjecture.
Well, you see… um… he was… bad… and… err…
>I think "Terroza" needs to have one last chat with her brother, or at least contemplate her relationship to him, before we can digest him.
To make sure he was a bad man, right. If what the sword said about consuming the innocent is correct, then maybe you’ll need to start double checking to make sure those that you eat truly are wicked, eh?
>Once you're outta here and somewhere private, better pull the warming rune from that necklace and ditch the necklace.
Right. You got a pocket on the inside of your vest that it would fit perfectly in.
>Visit the courtesan's apartment sometime to see if some of your missing reading list is there.
You’re not sure why he would have those books, but going by his place might be worth it. If you knew where it was, of course…

>Well, then Justinia would be a logical choice to lay with as male.
A bard like her would be the perfect choice! Of course, her recent experiences might put a bit of a damper on her mood… or, if you have read her correctly, she might just want to have a cute boy console her all night long…
>Hm, so, who else? A lady of the night? Maybe, though they aren't common, are they?
Hmm… no, they aren’t… but you do have access to a man of the night, don’t you? What is that saying, throw your net wide enough and you’re bound to catch a fish or something? Quantity over quality is what you’re saying.


>Keep in mind you're prone to hallucinations - you might be imagining/exaggerating all her slips.
Which is why you need to thread carefully and not just assume she actually said those things? Let’s not ruin her night by accusing her of something she didn’t do, eh?
>What you should do right now is embrace that thick, pale, scaly mass.
You got all night, no need to rush things.
>Share a regular ass meal with Alisa.
As much as you want to eat her out, you’ll refrain from kissing her bottom until at least after she’s done eating herself.

>Give her butt a grope for good luck.
You slap your hand against one of her cheeks before grabbing it with your whole hand. She gives of this really cute squeaking sound in surprise of your sudden touch and she tries to hide her reddening face with her hands as you slowly drag your hand across her vast rump.

:AlisaFoS: EH!?

:ElricFoS: Oh, don’t mind if I do. I do love myself some Parogranat.
:AlisaFoS: T-that’s good…

She brings out a tray filled with some kind of cold fish dish from her ice enchanted cupboard, as well as a bottle of fresh Paro-juice.

:AlisaFoS: I was saving this for lunch tomorrow but… well… are you fine with just a drink?
:ElricFoS: Why, yes, I am… though, honestly I would have loved to repay you in kind but… well, after what we just did…

The two of you return to her bed and you let her lie down on it. She fidgets nervously under your touch as you sit down next to her and stroke her belly a bit, her face getting flushed as your eyes meet. You pick up one of the small pieces of… whatever this dish is called and gently put it near her snout and she eagerly eats it, making sure to suck a bit on your fingers as she does so.

:ElricFoS: So… about the things you said while we were… in the moment, so to speak.

:AlisaFoS: Err… well, you see… it was this guy who… err… took those books that you were looking for and… um… h-he said he was some kind of monster hunter and was hunting vampires here and… err… you see, he told me that-
:ElricFoS: You know, aren’t we kind of changing the subject here? I’m still interested about the whole… “open your mouth” thing.
:AlisaFoS: … … …do… do y-you have… any of your ancestors with y-you…?

…do you? Are you still the same Ema that died that day ten years ago? The same Ema that ate from the bodies of her ancestors and was carrying their strength with her? …or was your ancestors thrown into the abyss as your old body decayed and rotted away?

:ElricFoS: I… I have both my grandmothers with me. One of their hearts for her bravery and the others muscles for her strength.
:AlisaFoS: …wait, isn’t that something… um… a woman would…?
:ElricFoS: I’m not like most men, are I? I… didn’t have any sisters or female cousins, so… I had to consume their essence to carry it to the next generation. Why do you bring this up?
:AlisaFoS: …because I don’t…

You can’t help but think about your parents. You mother and… father… they never had a chance to be properly buried, did they? They were never able to pass on their experiences and skills to the their grandchildren… your children… their bodies left to rot, their essence left to fade away instead of being eaten by the next generation to pass on their souls. Now you’re just getting depressed…

:ElricFoS: You haven’t had any of your family die yet?
:AlisaFoS: Of course I had, it’s just… I’m diseased, aren’t I? My scales are weak and brittle…
:ElricFoS: All the more reason why you would need your ancestors to watch over you.
:AlisaFoS: But I’m a dead end. Who would want to take on the essence of someone that is not well? That’s why… I’ve never been given the chance to carry on my family legacy.
:ElricFoS: That still doesn’t explain why you would want to… um…
:AlisaFoS: When I pass, no one will carry on my strengths to the next generation, will they? I’m just… going to rot in some grave somewhere, never able to pass on properly…
:ElricFoS: So, that’s why you’re…?
:AlisaFoS: I j-just wanted to… wanted to become part of something greater instead of just… disappearing after my time is up. And the more I thought about it… the more I wanted it… I… I just started associate it with… this… and… um… my life is just so… pointless… is it really t-that bad that I want t-to be a part of something b-better?

This went from weird to just… depressing…

:AlisaFoS: …y-you don’t… t-think I’m s-some kind of f-freak for… liking… um…?

Look at her straight in the eyes. Confirm to her that if anyone tells her that she isn't worth passing on to the next generation, they're dead wrong. You can assure her that there are other people that won't make literally skin deep assumptions about her and will see her as you do: deserving to be part of their family, even if it's not through you.
Suggest ways to help boost her self-confidence enough that she won't want to get eaten before her time. She can try to chat more with people who come in the library; they might like someone with more brains than brawn, so to speak. Or she can go out to the festival and help with the activities to clear her head and take in the atmosphere. Just help her see herself as the good person she is.

You should tell her that you enjoy ladies like her: nice and plump. It means there's more cushin for the pushin! It also means that the lady in question will have plenty of body heat, which is good for cold nights. And they give the best hugs.

:AlisaFoS: MMFF! MFF! Mff… mff…

The room is once again filled by the sound of your union, though this time her moans are muffled by the fact that her snout is filled to the brim with cock. As your hips moves against her snout, you try your best to please her with your tongue, giving most of your focus to get her off before yourself. Even with your inexperience, it seems to have the desired effect. Your rhythm might be completely off and your moments sloppy, but your tongue seems to be driving her wild, if the indication of her squirming under your body is anything to go by.
Her whole body shakes when her orgasm hits her. Your tongue continues its dance across her most sensitive parts, making sure to leave no place of her unexplored. As her orgasm comes to an end, you leave her for a moment to focus on yourself, doubling your efforts to get off inside her mouth.

You slam your hips against her snout, trying to get as deep as you can into her. As your orgasm fills her throat, you can’t help but to arc your back in pleasure and cry out her name. Then, as the afterglow washes over your body, you finally pull out from her maw and let her breathe properly again.

:AlisaFoS: *Cough* Oh… Elric…

[Alisa the Librarian was successfully infested! …again.]

It’s barely past dinnertime and this body is already completely spent. Who’d known pleasing such a big lady would be exhausting? Now the real question is, what now? Of course, you can stay here for the rest of the evening and spend the night with the lovely Alisa, but if you do that you need to stay in this form the whole time… and you really want to go back to being a blue girl for a while real soon. Otherwise, you can go find that Uredo that supposedly came from Dalriver. They are usually the most active right after the sun sets after all. Not to mention you kind of want to see how Justina is doing… and if Karn is still grumpy… oh, and Danus, you really want to just… see him.

After thinking about it for a while, we could just say that we need to go do something and we'll return to sleep the night away with her when we're done. That'll give Ema a chance to change back to normal and then she can turn back into Elric when she comes back to Alisa's place.

Besides, Ema doesn't have anywhere else to stay the night, so coming back to Alisa for the night would give her a place to rest.

You mean other than the obvious fact that he’s worked with his sister over the years? It’s probably why she still had her rank as part of the guard, despite being so obviously corrupt.

He tells her who’s having problems with her and she goes after those people and they’re either brutally beaten and driven out of town or they’re killed with their bodies never to be found.

He may not be directly harming anyone, but he is responsible for sending Terroza after those people.

We only absorb the appearance of whoever we digest, we don't gain their memories.

That makes it impossible to interrogate Tertian while disguised as Terroza, since he would immediately know something is wrong when we act differently than how Terroza is supposed to act, which makes it easy for him to catch us when we don't know something that Terroza is supposed to know.

Actually when we became Vivian, we absorbed her personality and thought patterns well enough that personality takeover was a serious thing. It'd be good enough for a short impersonation.
Or we could just find out where they live and get evidence there. We should know more about the guy, for other reasons too, before we eat him.

I do want closure on this too, but it doesn't feel right because the prostitute, as we know him right now, leans more toward being a victim than perpetrator of injustice. Maybe we are in too deep to take more risks, but I think it's best to admit it's more of a mistake, not an act of Justice, to eat him as it is. Do better next time and all that.

As Ema herself pointed out here: >>927427 , Tertian is more evil than our established baseline of Karn, Oran, and Justina. If he was only a prostitute, he would be up there on the baseline right next to Justina. If he was being forced to do evil acts he didn’t want to do, he would be on the baseline right next to Karn and Oran.

But since he’s not on the baseline, that means he’s willingly been helping Terroza so that she can get away with doing some pretty fucked up things. Even if he didn’t do any of those things, he still helped her.

There's also the fact that if he was just a prostitute and his sister was forcing him to do things, that would also put him on the baseline. Or even put him slightly under it for me to consider trying to get him to repent.

But since he's more than just slightly under it, that would indicate that he's also done some bad things.

His soul may not be as bad as Terroza's soul for not actually doing anything to her victims, but him being responsible for sending Terroza to them and knowing what she's going to do to them, still makes him a pretty bad person.

Given how the swords said: "Skill is pure habit." I feel most, if not all, of what we pick up are habits not knowledge, and should a form have a habit rooted in a memory we will be able to remember that memory while acting out the associated habit. My alternative, pessimistic guess, is that we just pick up the impulses that made them delicious in the first place, though Gev seemed kinda sadistic and that doesn't seem to have carried. Gev could also just be a special case because first meal? Author didn't have the systems fleshed out yet so he ends up like a synthetic form?
Probably something to try asking the more lucid swords.
It also seems we may have improved our seduction just via having access to Tertian's core. (something that would just be habit for him)

We also know he certainly thought dark thoughts when he proposed to take us home. So he was certainly thinking of doing us harm without being forced.

That still begs the question on why he would send people to Terroza in the first place. I understand him being dark enough to be punished by default; I just need evidence, witness testimony, or a confession for me to recognize our punishment as Just. Excessive punishment aside, I want this to hold up in a court of law.

>>931512
No, I'm okay with this being too late now. He's not going anywhere.

I'm settled then: In the morning, we find out where Tertian and Terroza live, find evidence on their crimes, then figure out what the Duchess's (figurative or literal) demons from there.

>So can you not absorb anything from Alisa by consuming her cum? I guess that means you can’t absorb protein to create different forms from females the same way you can from males.
Apparently her fluids does not have the same “life essence” as males do. Which makes sense, as that’s not the part of the female that create life, is it? If you want to feed of a female you would need to… err... eat their… eggs? Yeah, let’s just stick to this whole “infection” business instead.
>Drago, duh.
Oh, right, he is probably… yeah… though seeing how timid he seems, he’s probably a giver as well.
>Although, we probably shouldn't play with his poor innocent heart like that.
Hey, you don’t need to play with his heart. You just need to play with his butt a bit. Or dick.

>Depends on what time of day it is.
It’s only about… six o’clock? You think?
>Yeah we really should pursue that Uredo lead.
You can’t rest your hunches right now! You got criminals to track down! And this plant person might be able to help!
>Which means that you've gotta come up with a pretty good excuse to tell Alisa so that you don't hurt her feelings when you leave.
…err… well… you kind of need to go meet a… “friend”? You guess? That’s an excuse?
>We could just say that we need to go do something and we'll return to sleep the night away with her when we're done.
That would probably work.
>Yeah, that’s a good point. Ema can’t sleep at Danus’ inn all the time.
Hey! Yes you can! In fact, you can sleep in Danus warm arms every night if you so wanted to! Just… maybe not tonight?
>Maybe, after we're finished with our business, we should go as Ema to see Danus. To not forget about him.
You definitely want to go see if he’s holding up alright. Hopefully he’s a bit less grumpy by now.

>Encourage her to start her writing as you make your leave. She should be more than inspired, you hope.
:AlisaFoS: …y-you really think I’m… w-wait, why are you getting dressed?
:ElricFoS: Sorry, Alisa, but I was actually on my way to meet someone before I laid my eyes on your beautiful visage.
:AlisaFoS: Y-you’re j-just g-going to leave!?
:ElricFoS: Well… actually, I was hoping that you wouldn’t mind if I came back a bit later. I’d really love to stay the night with you, but I can’t just ignore my duties can I, even for a splendid lady like yourself?
:AlisaFoS: … … …y-you won’t… y-you won’t c-come back… will y-you?
:ElricFoS: Alisa, why would you even doubt that I don’t want to come back. I want nothing more than to fall asleep in your warm embrace, (Not counting Danus loving embrace, that is), so if I can I will return before the day ends. I promise. In fact, how about this! As a token of my desires, I will leave… something… like… huh… I don’t really have anything that I can leave behind that’s worth… um…
:AlisaFoS: …how about your necklace?
:ElricFoS: My ne- Oh, right, the warming rune. Very well, even though I’d would want it to warm me this cold evening, I will leave it here to keep your heart warm, as a symbol of my desire to you.
:AlisaFoS: Um… I guess this is goodbye for now then?

You bend down and kiss her before you start to leave.

:ElricFoS: I will be back soon enough, you’ll see. Also, I haven’t actually read anything you’ve written yet, but I can tell you a clever girl like you are bound to be able to make the words on a page dance in a pleasant way.

You start making your way towards the park. Luckily, you’re not too far away from it. Unluckily, it’s probably below freezing outside. As the cold wind chills you to the bone you really regret leaving that necklace behind… though, it’s nice to finally being able to go back to being Ema. It’s like you finally got to relax that one muscle…

>Can Ema stay as Elric for the entire night?
Maybe? Maybe not? The hard part will be keeping your shape if you decide to meditate the night away, as you’ve woken up in the wrong shape before, haven’t you?
>You know, and this is just a crazy idea, we could delicately reveal ourselves to her. She seems unlikely to tell anyone, and even if she did, they probably wouldn't believe her.
And what do you really have to gain to do so? You can’t really come up with anything she can do to help you that she can’t already do without knowing what you are.
>That would end up with her getting involved with the same shit that happened earlier to Karn. She’s too innocent to get involved in the things we do!
She definitely doesn’t deserve to be put in situations that might endanger her, at least not in the same way Karn does. Speaking of which, you need to remember to talk to Karn later. Maybe tell him you’re sorry you kind off dragged him into that whole mess…
>Do Oran and Karn not count as allies for some reason?
They are more akin of… emergency rations?

>We could interrogate the prostitute before we absorb him.
You’ve already been over this. He is food and that’s it. You can’t go around second guessing yourself like this every time you eat someone! You just have to trust your nose for now.
>Tertian is more evil than our established baseline of Karn, Oran, and Justina. If he was only a prostitute, he would be up there on the baseline right next to Justina.
You’re pretty sure a simple prostitute wouldn’t really smell tasty? Justina is clearly more than just a prostitute, though you’re not sure what exactly her sins are yet.
>If he was being forced to do evil acts he didn’t want to do, he would be on the baseline right next to Karn and Oran.
Oran smell tasty because he is willingly selling his own drugs that he knew was harmful to people, not because he was forced to make drugs for Tana. As for Karn… you’re not entirely sure, but wasn’t he selling those bottles as well? Either way, Tertian smelled way tastier than all three of them, so he’s belly fodder and nothing more.
>Could possibly having the sister form and him talk trigger more memories and useful info?
You have no idea. Even then, do you even need those memories? Wouldn’t it just be simpler to figure out where they live, go there and get a bunch of memories that way?
>Our thicc lizard seems to want a child or something carry her legacy on and that possibly evil man whore talked about the egg giving thing i kind of want info from him and alice seems to have the hots for him and possibly impregnate her.
…what?
>Alisa might want a child to carry on her legacy. Tertian talked about impregnating people and Alisa has the hots for him.
You’re pretty sure Tertian wouldn’t really be a good father… and you rather not leave her as a single mother, seeing as he’s about to become lizard fat. You might want to talk about it to her though… the “her having a child” part, not you turning Tertian into food… even if she’ll probably like hearing about it.
>I'd ship her with Danus myself (as backup, being with us could end tragically).
…dammit, now you’re just making yourself depressed…

As you finally arrive at the park, you’re immediately presented with your next problem. There’s at least dozen of Uredo slithering out from it, from this side alone. How are you supposed to find the one you’re looking for? Chances are, it will already have slithered off somewhere else in the city, leaving you without a way to find it! It’s not like the first one you’ll walk by will be-

:NonFoS: These tall creatures don’t look where they are going! It’s the third time someone walks right into a sleeping this one!
:NonFoS: This one think it’s because sleeping Growth of Ash is in the way for the tall ones. Try another spot for sun eating?
:NonFoS: Growth of Ash need to change to fit into city bustle. This place is not calm Dalriver.

You’re not too attached. After all, you are letting him do his own thing… the thing being you, but it’s still his thing, right?

Right, and you don’t want to break her fragile little heart. You better remember to go back there, no matter what.

>May as well capitalize on the situation, ridiculous as it is. Mention how you heard them talk about Dalriver and happen to be looking to talk to an Uredo from Dalriver if possible.
You walk up to the one that was called Growth of Ash… or that you think is the one called that. It’s damn hard to see which ones of these plants that are actually talking… do they even talk? They don’t have mouths so… err…
:EmaFoS: Excuse me, Growth of Ash, but did you mention that you’re from Dalriver?
:NonFoS: This one is not Growth of Ash. Tall one wants to talk to the one over there.
The Uredo points towards the other two, though you’re not sure which one exactly. You think it pointed towards the one clad in blue?
:EmaFoS: So… you’re Growth of Ash?
:NonFoS: This one is not Grow-
You turn towards the last Uredo as the blue clad one points towards it…
:EmaFoS: Then you are-
:NonFoS: That one is Growth of Ash.
The plant points towards the one you originally talked to…
:EmaFoS: …are you three just messing with me now?
:NonFoS: This one is sure that one is Growth of Ash.
Each one of them points towards the two others, creating a weird looking triangle with you in the middle.
:EmaFoS:
:NonFoS: This one is sorry, but teasing tall ones are fun. Very well, this one is Growth of Ash.
Only one of them speaks, but all three of them points towards themselves in unison.
:EmaFoS: …you know what, if you think you’re going to force me to solve some kind of riddle to find this Growth of Ash, I will use brute force. I’m warning you.
:NonFoS: No need for anger. These ones are simply making silly.
The blue clad one finally slithers up to you and… “speaks”.
:GoAFoS: This one is indeed grown in Dalriver. How can this one assist the tall, blue one?

>You had a friend that lived in Dalriver and you want to know what happened there.
:GoAFoS: When was this friend there?
:EmaFoS: Ten to… um… thirty years ago, I guess?
:GoAFoS: Then this one is sad to tell tall one friend is probably part of growth bed now.
:EmaFoS: …a growth what now?
:GoAFoS: Ten years ago, there were evil men that-
:EmaFoS: Yes, I know that, but I don’t see what a growth what now have to do with it.
:GoAFoS: Those that have passed on feed the world around them when they move on. Thus this one’s given name, Growth of Ash. Now, question to the tall one, is it male or female?
:NonFoS: It is clearly male. See how thin and non-muscular it is?
:NonFoS: No, it is clearly female. See how tall and round it is?
:NonFoS: But don’t females have fat on chest?
:NonFoS: Only birds and mammals has those.
:EmaFoS: Wha- Hey, easy with those hands… err… tentacles?

Growth of Ash’s two friends clearly doesn’t know about personal space as they tug and pull on you in all kind of directions with their vines.

:EmaFoS: Stop that. I’m female. But what does that have to do with anything?
:GoAFoS: Tall one ask question, this one ask question? This one and tall one trade questions! Tall ones next question?
:EmaFoS: Err… okay? I guess? See, I need to know what happened after the bad men left?
:GoAFoS: This one had not grown by the time of most of it, but elder shrub talk about much. Do tall want to know about messenger pulling boy out of flames, mean looking people searching through ruins, weird one visiting each year with stone or the ones who came after and made mountain explode?
:EmaFoS: …I want to know everything?

A boy that was pulled from the flame? Sounds like it could be another survivor.

And that weird one with a stone could be related to the stones you're supposed to be looking for.


>Then this one and tall one can meet later? This one has many questions for tall one too. We meet tomorrow and tall female one brings male one and this one and tall one trade questions?
Sure, you can meet it tomorrow to find out what it doesn't tell you today.

Flame boy sounds like a (desirable) side quest.
Mean ones sounds like our targets.
Stone sounds like it's inline with our collection quest for peace. Explosions sounds like possible unknown third party.
That said I think explosions will be the best for potential information gathering avenues should they in fact be a unknown party. Would be bad to get blindsided by another faction.

That definitely sounds like the survive Yate spoke of. The one that you were looking for… though then again, you have so much else you need to know about.

>...his friends are still hugging you aren't they?
They aren’t so much hugging you as tugging on your arms, tail and clothes for some reason.
>Just don’t let them start taking your clothes off.....or let them slither their tentacles into your clothes.
Your clothes are untouched, at least in that way. Heck, Uredo don’t really have any kind of sexual desire so getting you undressed probably doesn’t even enter their minds. Hmm… you’re not sure how-
:EmaFoS: Hey, vines off my butt.
:NonFoS: This one is not sure what butt is?
:EmaFoS: Just let me have some space, alright? It’s like you’ve never seen a Sakkilian before!

:GoAFoS: Tall one wished to speak to This one. Let tall one speak to This one and stop touching tall one.
>Hey, I’m not round! .....I think? Do you really think I’m round?
:NonFoS: Tall blue one is tall, blue, lean and round.
:EmaFoS: How can I be both round and lean? What do you even mean with round?
:NonFoS: Tall one is round in face and curves. Male tall ones are square and pointy.
:EmaFoS: …right.

>Let's ask about the weird one with the stone.
:GoAFoS: Weird one comes once a season cycle, on day of tragedy, and leave odd metal at odd stone.
:EmaFoS: This odd stone…
:GoAFoS: Weird one came with big stone, placed it in center of old town and carved symbols into it.
:EmaFoS: This odd metal you mentioned?
:GoAFoS: Shaped like three circles it is. This one does not understand its meaning.
:EmaFoS: And the symbols?
:GoAFoS: Elder said they depicted… “This is a monument dedicated to the folly of revenge. Know that those that suffered here needlessly without gain. Taking another’s child will not return your own.”… or something similar. This one don’t remember exactly.
:EmaFoS: Huh… that does sound like someone I know…
>I'm guessing that's Karkan, but we really do need to know more about him.
Who is Karkan? You’ve never heard about a Karkan? You mean Yate, the mask wearing one? Hmm, it does indeed sound like something that dork would do… but just to be sure…
:EmaFoS: Does this weird one by any chance wear a mask of some kind?
:GoAFoS: Weird one clad in green and had broken mask of smiling man.
:EmaFoS: So, it is Yate…
:GoAFoS: But Elder say it seen under mask. Not animal or plant under it.
:EmaFoS: …not… wait, what? Then what is he?
:GoAFoS: Elder said stone and metal was the one thing there was, nothing more.
:EmaFoS: …right. Stone and metal, huh?

>Where would the one before this one like to meet tomorrow? Here, again?

Glance to your right. There's what appears to be some big ass bloodied bug monster thing standing behind that wall, but considering you've had hallucinations before it may not be real. It certainly doesn't make sense for something like that to get this far into the city without being spotted and raising every alarm. At least, not something visible. Perhaps it's something paranormal or otherwise invisible and you being what you are can see it. Better consult the Swords on if you can see ghosts or other paranormal or magic bullshit. Also, can the Swords see what you're seeing through you and can see whatever that is? And ask the Uredos what they see over that way to check if by some long odds it's visible to them.

Now, if they can see it, then whether it moves towards y'all or not, Growth of Ash and its companions ought to hurry away to safety. If it's coming at you, split off from 'em into a more remote area so you can pull your swords without unwanted questions. (Make a mental note to get a mundane sword later.) If they can't see it and it's just standing there, part ways and circle around to where you can watch it from a distance. But if it moves on, then tail it for a bit. However, if it starts running towards the group, run towards it a bit and curve away to figure if it's after you or if it'll go for the Uredos. If it follows you, run for the underbrush so you can pull your sword on it unseen. If it doesn't, turn around and pull your swords to defend the Uredos from the creature; You just can't let innocents be harmed, even if you give yourself away.

Actually, there are the sewers that run under the city. The guards don’t have any reason to check down there, so that thing could’ve been hiding down there.

And there’s an entrance to the sewers in the park where we are with the Uredos, which would explain how it got here without any guards seeing it.

You’ve already dragged Karn into way to much stuff, so you’re not sure he will be very willing to come… and Drago… you really don’t know much about him, do you? Danus though… didn’t he say he would take tomorrow off? Though, it would be mean to drag him to something he doesn’t want to do when he’s finally able to relax for a bit.
>Pretty sure that means you guys have to get naked too. I'm not sure who you're gonna have to convince to go along with that.
Yeah, that will definitely make things more awkward. Geez, you can’t catch a break with these things, can you?

>Okay you'll bring a male.
:GoAFoS: Then tall one come wake this one tomorrow while sun above! Need this one to leave as work will begin in-
>WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?!
Suddenly everything is just chaos. The Uredo are all screaming in terror, running in every direction as… something comes running towards you. Something that’s cowered in enough bloody wounds to kill even a wyvern. It makes a unnatural screech, a sound so unreal that your body convulses slightly in pain as your whole being seemingly hears it and not only your ears.

>You might want to ru-
You barely have time to compose yourself before it is upon you, moving faster than anything you’ve ever seen before. On instinct, you pull out your short sword and try to block its path. It barely acknowledges your defense, instead it simply jumps straight into your sword, ignoring the wound as if-

…then it explodes in blood and gore? The fuck?

>I think the Urdo's wouldn't care if we pull swords out like that, and would believe that it was a special blue tall one thing if pressed.
The Uredo probably didn’t even have the time to notice you had any swords at all, seeing that they fled running and screaming as soon as they noticed the thing. Only one of them is left, hiding in one of the bushes, audibly… weeping? You think that’s the sound of a plant weeping?
>Guys, there’s no need for racial slurs! The correct term is “Hiver”!
That thing, whatever it was, was clearly not a Hiver! If anything, it looked like some kind of… of… Varkian / insect hybrid thingy? Whatever it was, it clearly wasn’t natural and the world is a better place with it dead.
>You just can't let innocents be harmed, even if you give yourself away.
Now that you have a few seconds to reflect on it, you don’t actually think it was attacking you. It didn’t react to you at all when you pulled the sword and if you’re not mistaken, it tried to jump over you, not into you. In fact, you’re pretty sure it was… running away from something? But… what? Whatever it was, it though that having you in the way would either slow it down or make sure it protected it from harm… but what does a monstrosity like that run from?

:NonFoS: Did we lose it, uncle?
:NonFoS: Hmm… I think… GREETINGS CITIZEN! HAVE YOU BY ANY CHANCE… wait… look at all that blood!
:NonFoS: Another victim!? But we were hot on its heels, how did-
:NonFoS: No, look carefully Athena, that’s not their blood! They must have struck down the vampire themselves as it came running by!
:NonFoS: Oh… damn, I wanted to burn it to a crisp myself…
:NonFoS: Now, now, I’m sure you will have the honor to face one in combat soon enough. Those things seldom nest alone, do they?

>Oh, and get a good sniff as well as looking at that creature.
Everything went by so fast you didn’t even have the time to smell it… but now, standing in its remains, a familiar smell enter your nostrils. This… this thing… it smells exactly as delicious and evil as the Duchess.

Bemoan the fact that oh god, there's blood everywhere, even in your eyes & nose. Pull that spike-thing off your shoulder, get it to your alchemist emergency-food for analysis.

Analyze those two goofballs, are they evil or something? Tell them you'd love to get acquainted better, but you really need to wash off this vampire-gunk. Tell them you'd shake their hands but you'd really better not. This is going to be one hell of a story to try and explain to Alysa.

DO NOT wipe the blood off, we don't know where these headhunters stand, they may be willing to go after that price on your Ema-forms' head. Don't let them see blue skin.

If that thing was an undead, then you probably stabbed its core, which is why it exploded.

This is also what’ll happen to you if your core ever gets destroyed, so let this be a warning for you to keep your guard up and to protect your core!

>vampire hunters
Hey, one of them looks like a Varkian. That might be the person that checked out those books you were looking for.

>Athena
Wait, could that be Athena Mediean: >>/questarch/878563 ? That’s the only other Athena I can think of that we’ve met. And referring to that Varkian as “uncle” would make sense, since she seems to be part Varkian herself.

Yes, I know that silhouette back there doesn’t look like Athena, but I remember that she was in Oran’s shop looking for transformation potions: >>/questarch/868641 , most likely to hide her feathers and make her appear like a normal Sakkilian. So I’m pretty sure that is Athena Mediean back there!

>What do?
We need a bath and a change of clothes. Politely ask if they can provide those for you.

You can’t turn into Elric and go back to Alisa until you get cleaned up!

I spect we could just shapeshift (possibly back and forth a bit) to get a lot of this blood off, assuming assuming the transformation is more a *POP* rather than a smooth shape change, if it is a smooth shift how does pants and serpen form work? (or just in general I suppose)

If those guys have a way to detect undead, then the good news is that you're covered in vampire blood, so that will hide you being an undead from them.

>>931978

I guess you could be right? Only way to find out is to say, "Athena? Are you the same Athena Median I met the other night?"

Well, this just got more complicated. The Vark guy is almost certainly the monster hunter hunting vampires that Alisa told you of. The one that checked out all the books on exotic undead. And his niece, the mage gal, is Athena Mediean, the feathered Sakkilian you met last night at Danus' inn who wanted to buy you a drink. This is a problem because, given what you are, it's risky to be around monster hunters. They presumably have ways to detect undead, albeit short range or on contact, and possibly knowledge of more types of undead than just vampires. Maybe even enough to ID your swords as that of a Elder Wraith. You must be wary around them.

Exclaim a mighty string of curses, then turn and pointedly walk towards Athena and her uncle and ask them if this blood is hazardous or toxic. Then quickly check if the Uredo is okay and suggest it hide indoors. Then ask Athena and her uncle to walk with you to the nearest bathhouse, both as protection and to attest to any guards or citizens that inquire that you're covered in vampire blood and not people blood. Introduce yourself to her uncle, adding that you'd shake his hand if yours wasn't covered in blood. Ask 'em what's the best way to get this blood out of your clothes. Tell Athena that you'll be taking up her drink offer the next time you're at the inn 'cause after this you feel like you need one.

>This… this thing… it smells exactly as delicious and evil as the Duchess.
Baroness, not duchess. And her being some kind of ancient vampire would make sense, though she could be some other kind of powerful undead. Presumably they all smell as wicked. ...And also makes you wonder what you'd smell like to another Elder Wraith, or if other undead have similar abilities to sense wickedness. Or if other beings have such senses.

Anyway, this also means that if you smell one, you'll have the same hunger response as you did for the baroness. So make damn sure you encounter 'em where nobody who doesn't already know what you are will see you devour 'em. And also that you're already well hungry since it's unlikely you'd be able to resist digesting one once it's inside you even if you're already fully satiated.

>>931965
How 'bout we don't act so suspiciously eager to hunt a nest of monstrous bloodthirsty undead alongside strangers of unknown ability, especially without them paying. Ema is trying not to draw even more attention to herself, after all. Getting into a situation where she could be injured and blow her cover in front of a pair of monster hunters sounds like a real bad idea. Either that or exhibit capabilities beyond mere mortal and raise unwanted questions. Heck, even just innocuous questions about herself or her past could be tricky, since she's a lousy liar. Oh, and since vampires like this one smell as tasty as the baroness, Ema would be hard pressed not to lose control and devour one in front of this pair. So Ema would need a real damn good reason to risk going on a vampire hunt with these two.

Keep the tongue-stinger thing.

First thing: Smell the lads who seemed to have been chasing it.

Now, you don't have to freak out or even act unnerved. Everyone reacts to "what the fuck" occurrences differently, and, if we're going with you being a monster hunter when we need to explain things to people, it'd be reasonable for you to not freak out.

If they smell trustworthy, act calm and answer any questions they have as extensively as you can.
If they don't smell trustworthy, act a bit more unnerved and GTFO ASAP once you've answered a few questions.

Either way, they might have undead-detecting equipment, so make sure you're out of there before you're clean of the blood.

You’re going to want to get the sheath for your sword, since it’ll look weird if you have a sword, but no sheath for it.

Just turn your back to the guys that were chasing the monster and bend over like you’re trying really hard to not throw up from being covered in blood. That’ll let you pull the sheath for your sword out of your mouth without them seeing you do that.

Yeah, that’s not gonna work.

Remember when we first met Athena in Oran’s shop? Ema said she smelled wrong and had to stop herself from drawing her sword and attacking Athena.

And then our Swords told us, “Traces of darkness and darkness itself are not the same thing.”

Basically, smelling Athena and her Uncle will tell us that there’s traces of darkness on them, since they spend their time hunting monsters, the monsters’ “smell of darkness” would rub off on them, but that doesn’t mean that they are also full of darkness.

Only at first look did Ema feel that way at Athena's "wrongness," and before Ema got a sniff of her. Once Ema smelled Athena she found out she smelled as innocent as Drago or Danus, but with a knot of concentrated evil buried deep in her. (>>/questarch/868927) So a sniff test will still pick up their wickedness levels.

Out-of-character, we know that knot is the remnant of Xuv or Xuv's magic that allowed Kronos Mediean to have inter-species offspring and how a Sakkilian-Vark hybrid like Athena can exist. She's one of his descendants.

Oh… right, that’s probably why that happened, yeah.

>Sheesh what's with all the monsters around here? First the shapestealers, now this?
Shapestealers are more like dangerous animals than monsters, but yeah, there are a lot of dangerous things here. You’re going to guess the vampire leftovers attracted the beasts… and the vampire very presence attracted another monster as well, you.

>Baroness, not duchess. And her being some kind of ancient vampire would make sense, though she could be some other kind of powerful undead.
Wait, she’s not a duchess? You’re pretty sure she was a duchess? …or was it a baroness? You keep getting those things mixed up. Either way, she’s clearly wicked… and that means that the rest of her so called noble court is the same. So… yeah… a vampire court? That’s cliché… though it would explain the strange disappearances, wouldn’t it?
>Presumably they all smell as wicked. ...And also makes you wonder what you'd smell like to another Elder Wraith, or if other undead have similar abilities to sense wickedness.
Why, you would smell like JUSTICE! Because you’re a good girl…
>Anyway, this also means that if you smell one, you'll have the same hunger response as you did for the baroness. So make damn sure you encounter 'em where nobody who doesn't already know what you are will see you devour 'em.
You didn’t have that response with the one you just met, didn’t you? Though, you’re not sure if it’s because you’ve just fed, you’re getting a bit more used to the smell or if it’s because you kind of killed it before you had the time to register the smell? Hmm… maybe it just didn’t smell as tasty as the Baroness?

>I spect we could just shapeshift (possibly back and forth a bit) to get a lot of this blood off.
Maybe from your body, sure, but your clothes are also completely drenched and they aren’t affected by your transformations. Besides, let’s not do that in front of the vampire hunters, shall we?
>Pull that spike-thing off your shoulder, get it to your alchemist emergency-food for analysis.
Oran would probably appreciate it. Heck, might even help you in the long run.

Right, can’t be too careful… even if they smell like good people…

>Hey, one of them looks like a Varkian. That might be the person that checked out those books you were looking for.
That definitely looks like some kind of Varkian monster hunter, just as Alisa said.
>Wait, could that be Athena Mediean?
That’s indeed Athena, whom apparently is a mage as well as a hybrid?
>Smell the lads who seemed to have been chasing it.
You’ve already smelled the Sakkilian girl and she still smell the same. Innocent on the surface, but a small ball of pure darkness hidden within. Like a piece of candy covered in dung, so she’s a no go on the eating front. As for the male Varkian… he smells so strongly that it outright stings in your nose when you smell him. He’s some kind of pure hearted hero of goodness or something… so yeah, can’t eat him either.
>Quickly check if the Uredo is okay and suggest it hide indoors.
You try to look for it, but it’s disappeared into the undergrowth completely. You guess being a plant is the perfect camouflage for hiding among… well, plants?

As the last of the blood is pulled away from you, Athena finally takes a moment to actually look you over and notice who you are.

:AthenaFoS: Oh! It’s you! Err… Ana… was it?

>Ask them if this blood is hazardous or toxic.
:AthenaFoS: Did you ingest any of it?
:EmaFoS: Err… well, I got a bunch of it up my nose… um… why? Is it dangerous!?
:KernFoS: Oh hoho, no need to worry. Unless you’re planning on meeting your demise sometime soon that it’s completely harmless.
:EmaFoS: Wait, demise? How can it be dangerous after you’re already dead?
:AthenaFoS: The disease of vampirism spreads through the blood. You need to either ingest a large quantity of it or die after ingesting some of it before you turn into a vampire completely.
:EmaFoS: Oh…

>Ask how long it might take to clear out the nest.
:KernFoS: Oh… months? Maybe years? These things tend to be rather deeply ingrained.
:AthenaFoS: The nobility in this place is clearly corrupted by them.
:KernFoS: They can take the shape of normal citizen while they are well fed, you see… well, take shape might be the wrong word… looking normal is more appropriate. They were once normal people, after all.
:EmaFoS: That would explain how this thing was able to run around the city without the guards chasing it…
>Tell Athena that you'll be taking up her drink offer the next time you're at the inn 'cause after this you feel like you need one.
:AthenaFoS: I’ll remember that, Ana-
:EmaFoS: Ema.
:AthenaFoS: Ema. I’m sure we can come up with other ways to relax as well, just the two of us~

She winks at you while Kern rolls his eyes. Clearly you aren’t the first girl she’s tried to hit on.

Breastplates usually protect both the front and back, don’t they? But yes, a breastplate would be prudent to get. Now, where do you buy something like that… and do you even have the money for it?
>Huh, she's quite capable. I wonder why she needed that disguise potion if she's this skilled? I can't imagine she needs to hide from danger.
You’re sure she was thinking about disguising herself so she could infiltrate that vampire court she talked about and take them out from the inside!

>Once they're out of sight put your sword away in your belly, then turn into Elric and head back to Alisa to spend the rest of the night with her.
After you say your goodbyes the two of them leave without further incidents. As soon as they are out of sight you put your sword back where it belongs, making sure no one is around to see you before you do so. Even with the vampire distraction, it’s still quite early in the evening, so there is no hurry yet to get back to Alisa.

In fact, didn’t you promise yourself that you would take a detour and go by Danus’ Inn to check in on him for a bit? It won’t take too long… and even if you stay for a while because… heh, “reasons”, you won’t be there more than an hour or two, right? Also, you need to tell Karn you’re sorry for today so… um… Alisa can wait that long, can’t she?

The inn isn’t far from where you currently are so you make it there in no time. As you’re arriving you’re met with an almost full main hall of the inn, some people still eating their dinner while most are enjoying a cold drink after a long day. Even if it is a bit calmer today compared to yesterday, mostly because they lack their musician Justina, the staff and Drago seems to have their claws full trying to keep all the guests served.

You half expect finding Danus running himself ragged trying to keep things smooth, but instead by your surprise you actually find him looking happy and relaxed with his apron in his hand. Oh, and Karn is there as well…

:DanusFoS: Oh, why, greetings Lass!
:KarnFoS: …Ema.
:EmaFoS: You look very relaxed today, Danus. Did something happen?
:DanusFoS: Happen? Why, I just took out some well-earned vacation, lass! I can finally take some time to relax and actually enjoy the festival!

:DanusFoS: Speaking of looks… Ema, you look a bit ragged? Haven’t the day treated you well, lass?
:KarnFoS: She’s the reason why I look so ragged myself, Danus.

:KarnFoS: W-wait, you’re inviting her!?
:DanusFoS: Now, now, Karn, I’m sure she got nothing you haven’t seen before… and if you’re shy you can just wear a towel.
:KarnFoS: That’s not… ugh… forget it…
:DanusFoS: What do you say, lass? Just by looking at you, I can see that you need some time to relax and let your muscles rest for a bit. Care to join us for a bit?

Actually, you could cut costs and increase defense by padding your insides with kevlar. If your core is protected by all-round defensive material, you can wear light armor and still go out as a tank.

For funsies you could also add artificial muscles and cameras to your stomach for research on digestion.

Hmm, no. If you go in the spa you'll probably fall asleep and miss your appointment.
Tell Danus that Karn is probably a bit mad at you right now so as an apology to him you'll let him relax alone. Warn them both that you just saw a Vampire though. There's a nest in town, so they need to watch out. You have reason to believe the nobility is infected specifically.

Ask Karn where you can get a good breastplate.
And what's that on Danus's shirt?

I like the idea of warning them. You can't look up for them all the time while you do your thing.
I also think you can actually spend some time with them in the spa. You can talk about what happened today with the vampire insident to warn them, spend time with Danus AND try to make up with Karn and apologise.
Although i think dragging Karn with us is both useful and is a good way to show him that he still has to redeem his bad ways. He hasn't improved on that regard, and he knows what that means. Last time he was wishing someone's death. He can't keep doing that. He want's to Live? Be a good boy and help you put some Justice in this town. If not, is eating time.

Ask Karn about Justina’s condition. Is she recovering well?

>sauna
Politely decline Danus’ invitation because you want to not upset Karn anymore than you already have.

.....hey, I just thought of a way you can make it up to him. Remember how he said he’s always wanting to see different fighting styles? Well, since you’ve got multiple lifetimes of fighting styles, you can probably show him a few he hasn’t seen before. He’d probably like that!

Then take them both somewhere private and tell them about why you look so ragged, since it just happened a few moments before you came here. Don’t explain it to them in a room full of people, since you might cause people to panic.

And let them know about the 2 vampire hunters, Athena Mediean and Sir Kern of Risavia, that were chasing the vampire you killed. They told you to let them handle it before they went running off into the night.

If Karn quietly asks why you didn’t go help them, tell him that you helping the people that hunt undead is risky because if you end up accidentally revealing yourself to them, they would turn on you and attack you.

>Ask the swords about what Athena and Kern said about ingesting vampire blood. Do you have to worry about that or are you immune to the vampire blood, since you're an Elder Wraith?
:SwordFoS: Death is a necessary catalyst for creating a vampiric being. You are already dead, thus you cannot rise again. They are prey to be hunted and nothing more.

>Actually, you could cut costs and increase defense by padding your insides with Kevlar.
You’re not sure what this Kevlar thing is, but padding your inside with armor does sound neat. The question is just… how?
>For funsies you could also add artificial muscles.
You’re pretty sure that kind of technology doesn’t exist?
>Cameras to your stomach for research on digestion.
What is a camera? But yes, you do need to research into it a bit more… and Oran was willing to help, wasn’t he? All you’re missing is a meal…

>If you go in the spa you'll probably fall asleep and miss your appointment.
Spa? It’s just a sauna. It’s not something you fall asleep in… at least, not if you want to wake up again. Besides, you will have two naked hunks on each side of you, so you’ll have plenty of reason to stay focused, eh?
>Although i think dragging Karn with us is both useful and is a good way to show him that he still has to redeem his bad ways. He hasn't improved on that regard, and he knows what that means.
If he doesn’t repent, he is food, it’s as simple as that. Though, you really need to find out what his sin actually is, as he seemed genuinely shocked that those bottles he sold with Oran was harmful yet his soul didn’t get any purer.
>And what's that on Danus's shirt?
Food? You think? He works at an inn and clearly hasn’t had the time to change clothes yet after all.


>Tell Danus that Karn is probably a bit mad at you right now so as an apology to him you'll let him relax alone.
Ugh, fine…
:DanusFoS: Mad at you, lass?
:KarnFoS: She dragged me off into a life threatening fight with… bandits.
:EmaFoS: Err… yeah, bandits…
:DanusFoS: What? More bandits? Y-you’re not hurt, lass, are you?
:KarnFoS: She’s fine… but Justina didn’t make it out okay.
:DanusFoS: Yes, I’ve heard she was hurt but… it’s not too bad is it? Why were you fighting bandits again?
:EmaFoS: They wanted to rob and burn down the house of a sweet old lady and I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing?
:DanusFoS: Well, lass, you’re a real hero, you know that?
The old lizard beams at you while blushing a little bit.
:DanusFoS: You’ll need to tell me all about it later, lad, when we’re relaxing.
:KarnFoS: If you insist…
>Ask Karn about Justina’s condition. Is she recovering well?
:KarnFoS: I don’t know the exact details, but she isn’t in any danger. Though, doc said she might have trouble playing her lute in the future.
:DanusFoS: Oh no, that’s terrible, lad. What exactly happened?
:KarnFoS: It’s involves fire… well, heat magic and a deranged… bandit, if I understood what she told me correctly. I’ll tell you the details later.
>Ask Karn where you can get a good breastplate.
:KarnFoS: Breastplate? I mean… I usually get my stuff down at Mot’s, down on the lower riverside. It’s far from the best, but it’s affordable… and not filled with pompous pricks.
>I just thought of a way you can make it up to him. Remember how he said he’s always wanting to see different fighting styles?
:KarnFoS: If you actually know any fighting styles, I’m happy to see them in action.
:DanusFoS: Why, lass, that sounds interesting. You wouldn’t mind if I came and watched it as well?
:KarnFoS: Don’t gets your hopes up, old man. Last time we fought she was barely able to wield a sword.
:EmaFoS: I was just pretending to be bad, Karn.
:KarnFoS: Of course you were…

>Take them both somewhere private and tell them about why you look so ragged, since it just happened a few moments before you came here.
Danus leads you to the backroom so you can talk in private, while practically dragging Karn with him who’s less than happy to follow. You then proceed to tell them what happened just before you got here.
:KarnFoS: *Sigh* have you been talking to Oran again?
:DanusFoS: V-vampires!? T-there’s actually v-vampires here!?
:KarnFoS: No, there aren’t. There aren’t any vampires here… or anywhere else for that matter. It’s just Oran that-
:EmaFoS: I was jumped by one just a little while ago and I slew it. If you don’t believe me you can ask the vampire hunters that was there with me.
:KarnFoS: Really? And these vampire hunters… do they have names by any chance?
:EmaFoS: Kern and Athena Mediean, a Varkian male and that… Sakkilian lady with the feathers.
:KarnFoS: Kern? Did you just make up a name by using my own and just changing one-
:DanusFoS: Oh, them! Y-yes, I know them! They got a room right here at the inn!
:KarnFoS: Wait, what? They actually exist!?
:DanusFoS: Y-yes, they… they said they were monster hunters but… I d-didn’t think there was anything dangerous inside the city walls! I… I must tell Drago to stay inside after sundown… j-just in case…
:KarnFoS: But… Oran can’t be right about that… can he?

>Can we make thicc lizard and him go on a date?
While it pains you to do so, but maybe a blind date kind of thing might work? You know… you tell Alisa as Elric that a friend of yours (that is to say, you, Ema) needs a second date for a male friend? So… you go out with… let’s say Oran… or Karn… or someone… and Danus can go out with Alisa at the same time, making it a double date? Hmm…

:EmaFoS: Danus, what are you doing tomorrow?
:DanusFoS: Hmm? Oh, why, I’m going out to the festival, lass… well, at least until sunset, that is…
:EmaFoS: Really…

So… double date at the Festival tomorrow then? Or is this a terrible idea? Maybe if… wait, Danus is trying to get your attention… and he looks rather… shaken?

:DanusFoS: Um… excuse m-me for asking, lass… Ema… um… y-you wouldn’t mind… staying the night, would you? I m-mean… I don’t want you going o-out there into the dark again alone if there are… v-vampires out there… would I?

Well, we can't really stay here, we still have important business to atend. Besides, you are a capable fighter and there the two vampire hunters are working outside as well.

Besides, i am kinda worried about the white thicc lady being alone, so we can keep every safe.

You should tell Karn to stay here too. It's better for him to not risk himself going home tonight.

Uh oh, i just realized something. If Ema reverts to her true, undead form, she’s gonna grow bigger, which means she’s gonna end up destroying whatever clothes she’s wearing, just like she did that one time in Vivian’s dojo: >>/questarch/872793 ! And that would also include destroying any kind of breastplate Ema buys to protect her core!

The obvious solution is for her to not change into her true form, but there might be a time when she needs to turn into her true form. So should we get a breastplate anyways and hope we don’t destroy it or what?

>But…Oran can’t be right about that…can he?
“No, Karn, Oran wasn’t right about everyone he’s claimed to be a vampire. He’s just lucky that he didn’t actually find someone that is a vampire. Because if he did, he would be one of the many people that have disappeared over the past 10 years.”

Don’t forget to mention what Kern and Athena said, “The nobility in this town is clearly corrupted by them.” You don’t know if that means the nobility are helping the vampires or if the nobility are vampires or both.

>double date
Sure, that could work. Make sure you take Oran as your date, since you promised to take him. And last time doesn’t count, since you both left early because of your “condition” acting up!

>Please stay here?
Tell Danus that he’s sweet for worrying about you. But unfortunately, you can’t stay tonight, you’ve got somewhere you need to be. You’ll be careful out there.

>>932576

I think Oran remembers it differently, short-stuff. Hey remember that time you failed to stab me through the chest?

Danus is obviously concerned for his own safety as much as yours.

Tell him not to worry, you've already popped the one like a balloon and have a description on the potential second one- a hiver in a delivery uniform- so he won't get a jump on you either. If Danus is worried about Karn, you'll leave one of your swords here with him, he'll stay the night here to hold down the fort and also maybe work through his latent bisexuality. You'll be back in the morning, don't you worry.

We can mention Oran, since he saw Ema and Karn spar with each other. But don’t mention the chest stabbing part.

>you'll leave one of your swords here with him
No, we’re going to keep both of our swords with us. If either Karn or Danus starts touching the blade to clean it, then Ema will start acting weird, like she did here: >>/questarch/876209 , and that would just freak out Alisa and make her think something is wrong with Elric.

And if that happens, it might mess with Ema’s concentration and prevent her from staying transformed as Elric, which would really make Alisa freak out if Ema transforms in front of her.

Hug daddy lizard before heading out.

As for dates, hmm.
Sure, why not. As Elric, ask if thicc lizard'd like your friend Ema to introduce her to hot lizard daddy tomorrow morning. Give her directions to the inn tomorrow morning if she's interested, saying you've got places to be. Sneak over there as Ema to meet her.

>True form destroying clothes and breastplate
That's actually a problem with any form Ema takes when it's a different size than herself.

The solution would be to enchant the breastplate to change size with Ema, so that it'll stay on her, so that no matter how big or small her size changes, the breastplate will always fit her.

We can tell the enchanter that it'll be so Ema doesn't have to change her breastplate every few years as she gets older.

Only problem now is being able to afford something like that.

>>932588
>Leave sword
No.

After how much we freaked out last time we forgot them, let's not do that again.

Also, we can't tell where our swords are, only where we last left them. If they get stolen when we leave them somewhere, we'd never be able to find them. So let's keep our swords with us.

No.
>The vampire was very easy to kill. Hunting vampires at night would be fun.
The vampire you met was already gravely wounded and practically ran into your sword on accident. You’re sure they’ll be more dangerous if you actually face them face to face properly.
>Uh oh, i just realized something. If Ema reverts to her true, undead form, she’s gonna grow bigger, which means she’s gonna end up destroying whatever clothes she’s wearing, including destroying any kind of breastplate Ema buys to protect her core!
The only time so far you’ve actually needed to turn into that beast was when you were in actual danger. If you’re in so much danger that you’ll need that form again losing your breastplate will be the least of your problems.
>Oh speaking of Elric not transforming, aren't we planning on sleeping with Alisa? Can Ema hold a transformation overnight?
You have no idea! You haven’t tried it, after all! Though, even if you reverted you would just be able to wake up before she does and just change back to Elric, right?

You embrace Danus completely and he eagerly returns the affection.
>Give him a little peck in the snute.
As you break off your caress you make sure to sneak in a small kiss on the top of his snout, which is rewarded by a small chuckle. Karn on his part simply rolls his eyes at the two of you.


>You should tell Karn to stay here too. It's better for him to not risk himself going home tonight.
:KarnFoS: I’ll be fine heading home, don’t you worry.
:EmaFoS: A lone, defenseless male wandering out in the darkness? Isn’t that how a lot of horror stories starts, hmm?
:KarnFoS: They are usually men that can’t fight. Besides, there aren’t any free beds left here and I’m not spending the night on a wooden sofa. Also, who said anything about defenseless, eh?
>No, Karn, Oran wasn’t right about everyone he’s claimed to be a vampire. He’s just lucky that he didn’t actually find someone that is a vampire.

>Sure, why not. As Elric, ask if thicc lizard'd like your friend Ema to introduce her to hot lizard daddy tomorrow morning.
You’ll ask her as soon as you get back to her. Though, you’ll need to make some kind of excuse why you can’t go yourself… hmm…
>Make sure you take Oran as your date, since you promised to take him. And last time doesn’t count, since you both left early because of your “condition” acting up!
That’s right, Oran deserve a proper date… and you still haven’t feed off him either so…
>Though, come to think of it, she might be more into Karn, considering he's more dominant than the average Sakkalian male, and she's correspondingly submissive.
That’s right… she did seem to really like Elric, who is way more feminine than most men… and probably Danus as well. So… Karn might be more her kind of guy… and Karn does like being the dominant one, you think?
>Ask her whether she'd like hot feminine lizard boy or hot lizard daddy.
You know, there is one part of this plan you might have overlooked. You’ll need both the hot muscular lizard boy and the hot lizard daddy to agree to go on a date… and… well, it’s kind of awkward if you asked them both to come to just leave one dateless? So, not only do you probably need to ask them now if they are willing to go… you also need to figure out whom Alisa would rather go out with. Hmm…

>Make sure you change your clothes when you switch forms so she doesn't become suspicious.
…you only have one pair of clothes and a body covering cloak. Might want to visit the clothes shop tomorrow again. Wait, you know who probably have a tons of clothes for the taking? That whore you ate! If you can just figure out where he lives… hmm… Karn might now, seeing that he was selling stuff to him but… is this the right time to ask?
>>
No. 932621 ID: b1b4f3

Elric can just say he can't go to the festival, he has business to attend to during it. Then just don't transform into him during the festival. You can always use that bird bandit as a disguise if needed.

Also hmm we do need to actually set up the blind date huh? How about you ask both of them right now if they've got a date for the festival. If not, tell them you can set them up with someone. She's an albino, and a bit overweight, and she'd probably be interested in either of them, but you do need to know if they'd be interested in her.
If they're both into it, they can just flip a coin for it.

Regardless, ask to talk to Karn in private for a moment. You can bring up the prostitute and ask where his house is. I thought you already had some decent clothes though?

>Right…like most stories, they just have to be nobility and the high class…sexier that way…
Actually, no. It’s because the nobility and the high class have more power and influence, which makes it easy for the vampires to get what they want. “Sexiness” has nothing to do with it because this is reality and not some weird romance story.

Karn, have you been reading Oran’s weird romance novels? That’s the kind of thing I expected him to say. Never thought you’d say something like that.

>Karn does like being the dominant one, you think?
In case you forgot, Danus was also pretty dominant that time you had sex with him.

>suggestions saying to escort Karn
You guys do realize that means that we’ll have to wait for him and Danus to get out of the sauna, right? Because they were both on their way over there before we started talking to them and it would be kinda rude to make Karn leave with us instead of letting him relax in the sauna, like he wanted to.

Karn said he could take care of himself and he said that he’s not defenseless, so let’s just trust him and leave him to relax, like he wanted to.

>>932621
>She's an albino, and a bit overweight, and she'd probably be interested in either of them, but you do need to know if they'd be interested in her.
Don’t forget to mention that she’s also a bit older than Ema. And that she works in the library. Both of those details might make a difference in who wants to go.

>I thought you already had some decent clothes though?

Karn hates being treated as a fragile man, so he's gonna just refuse the offer. And he's already told us that he's not defenseless, so let's just leave him alone and let him walk himself home.

You’re pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Of course it’s because they are more powerful yet probably easier to turn.
>Elric can just say he can't go to the festival, he has business to attend to during it. Then just don't transform into him during the festival.
But if she ask for details? Hmm…
>I thought you already had some decent clothes though?
But only one pair. It’s not hard to see that both Elric and Ema are wearing the same clothes, is it?

>Karn won't stay in the inn, maybe you can go with him to his house first, just to be sure.
That would mean waiting for him to finish his trip into the sauna and while you’d love nothing more than hang out with two naked hunks like that, you’ve already decided to spend your time on other things.
>Karn hates being treated as a fragile man, so he's gonna just refuse the offer. And he's already told us that he's not defenseless, so let's just leave him alone and let him walk himself home.
Oh, and that too. So no, you’re not going to walk him home. He’ll be fine, don’t worry.
>In case you forgot, Danus was also pretty dominant that time you had sex with him.
That’s because you were inexperienced. You’re pretty sure he simply followed your lead to make sure you enjoyed it to the fullest, which meant at the time being the dominant one as you had no idea what you were doing exactly.


>How about you ask both of them right now if they've got a date for the festival.
:KarnFoS: No, I do not.
:DanusFoS: A date? Why, lass, I was kind of hoping I would be able to spend some time with you?
:EmaFoS: Oh… that’s… Err… while I’d love to spend some time with you, Danus, I’ve already promised to take Oran on a date so… s-sorry…

Danus is visibly sadden by this revelation, though he tries his best to put on a brave face…

:DanusFoS: D-don’t ask for forgiveness, lass, I… I was just… Oran, you say? The Alchemist? Not the lad I expected, but he do have a fine job, lass.
:KarnFoS: So if you already have a date, why are you asking us this?
:EmaFoS: Well, see… I got this friend who’s lady friend in need of a date tomorrow so…
:KarnFoS: Are you going on a double date with Oran?
:EmaFoS: Kind of, yes, so… if one of you boys would be interesting to spend the day with a lovely lady tomorrow…? She’s a bit on the big side, about Danus age, works as a librarian and has these beautiful white scales. Sounds interesting?
:DanusFoS: White scales? You mean the rather rotund albino lass?
:KarnFoS: Really, Ema? Are you trying to pair one of us with that overweight slob?
:EmaFoS: Hey, she’s not that bad… trust me, she’s very sweet when you get to know her.
:DanusFoS: Ema, I’m sure she has an interesting personality, but… see, her body type is simply not my… well, type… I’m into stronger, leaner lasses, lass.
:KarnFoS: Ugh… fine, I’ll go on this stupid double date of yours, just for Oran sake alright?
:EmaFoS: Well, not the answer I was hoping for, but I’ll take it?


>Regardless, ask to talk to Karn in private for a moment. You can bring up the prostitute and ask where his house is.
:DanusFoS: I’ll leave the two of you alone if you so wish. Ema, lass, I’ll be at the festival tomorrow if you still want to spend some time together. I’ll be seeing you.
:KarnFoS: So, what is it now?
:EmaFoS: Well, you see… you don’t happen to know where a certain man of the night, a Tertian, lives do you?
:KarnFoS: …you mean Terroza’s brother? Ema, what did you do?
:EmaFoS: Oh, nothing…
:KarnFoS: Then what are you planning on doing!?
:EmaFoS: Well, I need some new clothes… and clues about evildoers…
:KarnFoS: Don’t tell me you… him!?
:EmaFoS: He was evil… and was on to me so… yes?
:KarnFoS: …I really hope he was actually in on the whole thing for your sake… but he lives down by the river, next to the textile shop on Strawberry road. Or lived…
:EmaFoS: Thanks a ton, Karn.
:KarnFoS: Hmpf…
>Give Karn that bit of vampire probiscus, it'll shut his disbelieving mouth up and he'll be able to take it to Oran.
:KarnFoS: The fuck is that!?
:EmaFoS: I grabbed it from the vampire. You think you can give it to Oran for-
:KarnFoS: What? No! Keep that thing and give it yourself. I’m not touching it. But fine, vampire might exist, happy now?
:EmaFoS: A little bit, yeah.

An awkward silence follows as you put the vampire tongue thing back into your pocket. Karn fidgets a bit in the silence before speaking up.

:KarnFoS: So… tell me more about this librarian you’ve forced me on a date on?
:EmaFoS: Well… her name is Alisa, she’s a shy, sweet lady who loves reading.
:KarnFoS: …not really selling me here…
:EmaFoS: She loves stronger, more dominant males.
:KarnFoS: …really?
:EmaFoS: And she loves being dominated in bed as well.
:KarnFoS: …wait, how do y- did you… when did you- how?
:EmaFoS: Just an hour ago, in a male form. *Wink*
:KarnFoS: More information that I actually needed but… so, what, she like men that’s… like me?
:EmaFoS: She’s shy and submissive. Of course she’ll love someone like you.
:KarnFoS: Hmm… really? That does sound… Hmpf… This doesn’t make me any happier about you forcing this on me, just so you know.
:EmaFoS: Of course not.

So… the choice is clear then. Alisa will take Karn to the festival. Now, what’s next? Do you head over to Tertian place and raid it for clothes and other stuff or do you head straight back to “Thicc lady”. Oh, and is there anything else you need to talk to Karn or Danus about?
>>
No. 932780 ID: eeb7d9

You ought to be happy, Ema! You can keep your sugar-daddy for a little more!

I'm thinking that taking the clothes from the whore might take too much time now, we could probably do that in the morning, before the date, with time to look for something nice.

Ask Karn when would he like to spar again so you can show him some "new" techniques. You should meditate before that though, that is the only way for you to remember your past lives and you haven't been doing that as of late.
Also tell Danus, since he seem to be interested to watch the sparring... or watch you~ You will get to show off in front of him!

>Really, Ema? Are you trying to pair one of us with that overweight slob?
"Hey, Karn, you know how you hate it when people assume you're into men when the women fail to seduce you? Well, the same thing applies to Alisa, don't assume she's a slob just because she's a little on the big side. So be nice to her."

>…I really hope he was actually in on the whole thing for your sake…
We passed him on our way to that old lady and then his sister came looking for that same old lady a few moments later to try and kill her. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he was in on it.

>But fine, vampire might exist, happy now?
Whisper to him, "So you can accept something like me existing, but vampires are a maybe?"

>Back to Alisa or clothes "shopping" at prostitute's house?
Back to Alisa.

>Anything else to say to Karn or Danus?

Then he can say he has to go gather information on the recent Vampire sightings. Heh, you could even imply the reason he left her was to go meet Ema.

Also tell Karn you weren't forcing it on him in the first place. You hadn't brought it up with her or anything, so if he said no it would've been fine.
You could try asking Karn if he's got any idea what his sin is? Maybe it's that he beats up Oran when they get into disagreements? Does he lie, cheat, or steal? Is he mean to animals? Has he beaten up anyone he suspected of vandalizing his place, but without proof?

Before you leave, tell Danus that his job is just as important. He provides food, drinks, and warm beds for many tried travelers. Without him, those people would have nowhere to rest!

>Really, Ema? Are you trying to pair one of us with that overweight slob?
Tell him to be nice or you’ll bop him on then nose! Name calling is very rude!

How would he like it if you went behind his back and told people that he was into men, since he can’t be seduced by women? He wouldn’t like that, right? Then he should be nice to Alisa and not say mean things about her behind her back!

>…I really hope he was actually in on the whole thing for your sake…
“I can literally smell good and evil in people’s souls and he smelled like he’s done things way worse than whatever you and Oran have done. So, yeah, I’m pretty damn sure he was involved.”

>Hmm…really? That does sound… Hmpf… This doesn’t make me any happier about you forcing this on me, just so you know.
“Your wagging tail says that you actually are happier about this. And I didn’t force you into anything.”

.....you know, we’re making a pretty big gamble here, seeing as we’ve got no idea if Oran is actually free to go on the double date with us. For all we know, Tunu could’ve decided to take him to the festival tomorrow!

Not entirely sure we should mention the vampires to Alisa, she’s more likely to panic.

Although, implying Elric had to meet with Ema for some business would be good to explain where Elric went tonight. Now we just have to figure out what kind of business they met for.

Now that I think about it, Tertian’s place isn’t going to have any clothes for Ema to wear, since he’ll have men’s clothes. Which means we’ll only be getting new clothes for Elric and our other male forms.

However, if we find any money in Tertian’s place, since he won’t be needing it anymore, we’ll take that and use it to buy Ema some female clothes for herself.

How can you be happy about making him unhappy? He clearly was hurt by your request…
>We’ve got no idea if Oran is actually free to go on the double date with us. For all we know, Tunu could’ve decided to take him to the festival tomorrow!
Well… you guess you’ll just have to take Danus with you then! Even better!

:KarnFoS: Alright, alright, you’ve made your point.
>Just have him promise that he won't be mean and make fun of her weight.
:KarnFoS: Why would I be mean to her? That’s the opposite of having a good time?

>Tell Karn you weren't forcing it on him in the first place.
:KarnFoS: You really think so?
:EmaFoS: You can just say no, you know?
:KarnFoS: Not without hurting my pride…
>Your wagging tail says that you actually are happier about this.
:KarnFoS: Gah! Stupid tail! I was just… thinking of things after this date thing.
:EmaFoS: Don’t get ahead of yourself now, shorty.
:KarnFoS: Hey, fantasying of the best case scenario isn’t wrong, Ema.
:EmaFoS: Uh huh… just don’t come to be all disappointed when it doesn’t happen.
>For an extra bit of fun, tell Karn that Alisa blushes like crazy when someone flirts with her.
:KarnFoS: Oh, really? I have to keep that in mind.
>Important: Plan with Karn a time to meet and a meeting location for the double date!
:KarnFoS: Tomorrow, at Oran’s shop before lunch?
:EmaFoS: That sounds good.

>Ask Karn when would he like to spar again so you can show him some "new" techniques.
:KarnFoS: Tomorrow?
:EmaFoS: When we go on the double date?
:KarnFoS: Why not? Start with lunch, then walk around the festival for a bit before going back to my place for a bit of sparring. I’m sure this friend of yours would love seeing me jump around shirtless for a bit, no?
:EmaFoS: That does sound like a plan, actually.
>We described Alisa to Karn, now ask Karn how he wants us to describe him to Alisa? A strong, dominant man that owns his own dojo or something to that effect?
:KarnFoS: Just describe me as you think of me?

>And since Karn is going to be dominant, should he still wear manly clothes or should he wear more girly clothes?
:KarnFoS: …I’ll wear whatever I damn please, Ema.

>I can literally smell good and evil in people’s souls and he smelled like he’s done things way worse than whatever you and Oran have done.
:KarnFoS: Right… you can smell the arbitrary idea of morality. Of course you can.
:EmaFoS: I am Justice. I know injustice when I smell it!
:KarnFoS: What even is Justice?
:EmaFoS: The protections of the innocent!
:KarnFoS: Err… right… not exactly what I meant but… sure?
:EmaFoS: You know that both you and Oran smell kind of tasty…
:KarnFoS: Yeah, no, then your nose is definitely wrong. Last time I checked I’m not a bad person and neither is Oran. Well… I mean, he was selling those bottles knowing they were harmful, but I didn’t know that, did I? I just though he was going around stupid regulations set up to keep the rich rich and the poor poor.
>You could try asking Karn if he's got any idea what his sin is?
:KarnFoS: My sin? As I said, I’m not a bad person. I’m not perfect, sure, but not bad.
:EmaFoS: Didn’t you say you beat up Oran at times?
:KarnFoS: I hit him on the shoulder when he gets really annoying, but not hard enough to bruise or anything. It’s more playful than anything.
:EmaFoS: So… do you lie? Cheat? Steal? Mean to animals?
:KarnFoS: Eh… no more than anyone else, almost never, never and why would I even think about being mean to some animal. Where are you even going with this, Ema?
:EmaFoS: Have you ever beaten up anyone you suspected of wronging you, even without proof?
:KarnFoS: Suspect? I know they wronged me… and I need to defend myself. So what if I’ve been in a few fights? It’s not like they care enough to go to the guard about it.
:EmaFoS: …because they don’t want to admit they got beaten up by a man… and the guard would probably not believe them even if they admitted to it.
:KarnFoS: That’s the beauty of it, isn’t it? Either way, I’ve never done anything permanent… at least not to anyone not deserving it.
:EmaFoS: …yeah, I’m starting to see a pattern here… I’m just going to tell you straight up. Start becoming a better person and repent, or I might just get hungry.
:KarnFoS: Wait, why are you on about me on this? You’re doing the very same thing, just worse.
:EmaFoS: You know what, I don’t have time for a discussion about morality right now. I got a friend waiting for me. We can discuss this later with Oran. But for now, let’s just enjoy our date tomorrow, hmm?
:KarnFoS: Going from threatening me with death to wishing me to enjoy a double date with you... this conversation has been really taking an odd turn, hasn’t it?


>Before you leave, tell Danus that his job is just as important. He provides food, drinks, and warm beds for many tried travelers.
You find Danus preparing a pair of cold ales and a few snacks for his and Karn’s relaxation.
:DanusFoS: Huh? Where did all that come from, lass?
:EmaFoS: Well… you said Oran had a fine job so I thought-
:DanusFoS: Ema, when I said he had a fine job I meant it was well paying and not too time consuming. As in, a desirable job to have or have your partner have.
:EmaFoS: Oh… err… but still, owning a Inn is still… kind of… neat?
:DanusFoS: Of course it is, lass.

>Now that I think about it, Tertian’s place isn’t going to have any clothes for Ema to wear, since he’ll have men’s clothes. Which means we’ll only be getting new clothes for Elric and our other male forms.

>Hmmm, is it robbery if they're dead? Ask the swords if that's okay.
:SwordFoS: You’re simply taking tools that you’ll need to further your goal of punishing those that deserve it. As long as you don’t take from the innocent and don’t do it out of greed, you will be fine.

>Take a stroll on over to the "Thicc Lady"
You quickly make your way back to the Librarians apartment without any further incidents. After making sure no one is around to see you transform into Elric again, you knock on the door and are quickly asked to enter by a voice inside.

:AlisaFoS: Oh, it’s you! Err… I mean… um… h-hello… Elric?

Ugh.
Tell her no, you found it lying in an alley. Near a blood splatter. You didn't want to ruin the mood by talking about such dark matters. Yes, you realize that Tertian wasn't attacked by a mugger since the amulet would have been taken. You're guessing he got killed by a Vampire, since you've just been informed there's a nest in town, and some of the nobility are infected. So uh, she shouldn't go out at night, or into dark alleys like the one you found the necklace in.
If she asks you if you told the guards, you can say no, because you didn't want them to question you and take the necklace. Maybe it's a little selfish but someone else will notice he's missing and report it.

If the mood recovers you can tell her about the blind date.

Wow, this sounds remarkably effective. It would be more effective if we knew if the guard kept track of such reports.

No. 933140 ID: eeb7d9

Well, this is as good as it gets. The idea of using the vampire incidents might be wise, given that it's not technically a lie. It might make Elric look bad for taking something that doesn't belong to him and it came from a dead person, but it's better than nothing.

No. 933141 ID: c7f906

Maybe not imply you saw where he was attacked, but say you picked it up at a sketchier pawn shop or a flasher salesman? Maybe got it from some street urchin? I just don't want to upset her too much by making it sound like we ignored an attack or make her think we're some kind of looter. Good news is we even have a vampire proboscis to back up that undead theory. If she asks, say no, you don't think it came from the vampire that attacked him, but it seems they're about. Also if she implies it, no you weren't hiding this from her, you never read the back and are kind of feeling a little stupid now for not putting two and two together. Anyway that's a good story even if you don't alter it.
>>
No. 933151 ID: b1b4f3

Elric probably shouldn't show off the proboscis. I kindof wish we'd delivered it to Oran already.
I'm not sure it'd be effective to say we got it from a pawn shop, considering how we denied it was Tertian's and it's got his name on it.

Also keep in mind two things:
1, we need an excuse to have avoided admitting it was Tertian's. If Elric had bought it, wouldn't he have looked at the back of it and noticed the engraving? I just noticed something important: This is the first time Alisa has mentioned Tertian by name. Elric *could* claim to have bought it from a shady dealer of some sort and saw the engraving and assumed it was someone who pawned it off, but didn't put two and two together when she asked about the prostitute.
2, we need an excuse to keep it, because otherwise she'll try to return it. Best excuse is that Tertian is already dead. Second best would be to say we bought it directly from him, but that contradicts issue 1. Pawn shop sortof works here since it's a legitimate transaction.

>>933128
>d-did… did you steal t-this…?
"Alisa, how could you even suggest I'd do such a thing? I'm truly hurt that you'd think I'd do that!"

Then explain that you didn't steal it because 1) if you did steal it, you wouldn't have let her hold onto it when she asked to hold onto it and 2) since you let her hold onto it, if you did steal it, you would've run and not come back.

If she asks why you lied to her when you said it was yours earlier, tell her that you didn't think she'd believe you if you told her the truth.

If she asks what the truth is, tell her that you found it on the ground in an alley and you've actually been looking for Tertain all day to return it to him. Although, you'll admit that you might've gotten a little sidetracked when you met a certain lady with beautiful white scales. *wink*

And that's why you left earlier, you figured you had enough time before curfew to ask if anyone has seen him. But everyone you asked said that they hadn't seen him. So you'll have to try again tomorrow and hope you find him.

If she offers to come with you to help, that's when you tell her about the blind date and how she'll be too busy doing that to be able to help you.

>This is probably a good opportunity to reveal our true nature to her.
We can’t just go around telling everyone about what you are. The less that know about it, the better. You’ve been warned about this, haven’t you? That someone you care about might just turn on you out of fear. It’s better if he doesn’t know… err… you mean her.
>Plus, if she and Karn get together, she is going to end up knowing eventually anyway.
Why would Karn tell her? Why would she even believe him? You’re pretty sure Karn just want to stroke his own ego, so he won’t talk about anything but himself.

Isn’t that what you’re best at? Ruining things?

>The act of eating her would still harm us, so no, we would not be able to fulfill her fantasies.
Eating her would be fine. It’s the absorbing her part that will kill you. Of course, you still don’t want to eat her because of the risk. After all, you have no idea how to get her out… or even if you can get her out! Besides, she doesn’t smell like she’ll taste any good, so you might not even get her down in the first place… and you really don’t have any reason to eat her anyway…
>We could say we bought it from him after we had Gay Sex.
Eh… you have no idea if that will turn her on or turn her off so… maybe after you’ve gotten a better feel of her?

:AlisaFoS: …on the g-ground? Just like that?
:ElricFoS: Well… yeah… though someone had thrown it away or dropped it, so I just picked it up. Had no idea who it belonged to.
:AlisaFoS: And y-you didn’t t-take a minute and noticed the carvings on the back of it?
:ElricFoS: To be completely honest, no, I didn’t. I found it right before I met you and… well…
>You'll admit that you might've gotten a little sidetracked when you met a certain lady with beautiful white scales. *wink*

:ElricFoS: Hey, why can’t I tell you you’re pretty?
:AlisaFoS: Just… just forget it.
:ElricFoS: …um… okay…

>If the mood recovers you can tell her about the blind date.
:AlisaFoS: Eh!?
:ElricFoS: See, I got a friend that needs a date for a double date tomorrow and-
:AlisaFoS: I’m n-not going o-on a date with a c-complete stranger j-just like that!

Tell her if she wants the truth she has to give it back to you first.
Then tell her some of the truth. First, Tertian's sister wanted to kill you just because she didn't like how you act, and he told her where to find you. You fought her off, then went looking for him, and that's how you got his necklace. He was a bad man, and got the justice he deserved.

If she's still upset after that just leave.

Well shit, it turned out she was inquisitive and smart about the whole thing. And Ema is not particularly good at lying. So what we sould do, if we still want to try to deceive is tell half lies and half truths. Or just admit that you are in this city because of some grim business you have to deal, and this guy was a part of it which is true.

Anything we say to her won't make her trust us if she doesn't want to trust us.

Show her that bit of vampire you collected, ask if she knows what it is. If she doesn't, explain. Then explain that the vampire hive has a foothold in the nobility of this down; that makes them the kind of dangerous she'd be safer off not knowing instead of a danger she should be be warned about. You're sorry you lied and you had no intention of hurting her, any your sorry your paranoia caused you to do so. Unfortunately in dealing with the undead, it's smart to keep one's affairs in order, and leaving her alone was something you didn't want. And you understand if she says no, but you would still like for her to go to the festival and meet your friend. He's confident and a skilled fighter when he isn't being an absolute grump.

Yeah, tell her this.

If she wants proof, show her the vampire tongue thing and tell her that the grim business you’re here for involves vampires and for her own safety, you can’t tell her anything else. And neither you or her can go to the guards because, since Tertian‘s sister was a part of the guards, there’s no telling who else is involved.

Ask her to promise to not tell anyone about this.

Once you get her to calm down, you can try explaining the double date thing again.

I feel like a fucking idiot for not thinking of this sooner. Let’s tell Alisa that we’re a bounty hunter.

Someone in the far north put a bounty on Tertian because, several years ago, he was a serial killer that seduced people and murdered them after luring them to bed and having sex with them. You have his necklace as proof that you stopped that monster from harming anyone else.

If she asks how the necklace proves anything, since you could’ve just wrote his name on it and not killed him for easy money, tell her that your employer has a mage that will cast a spell on you that can tell if you’re lying or telling the truth.

You can’t tell her anything else because it’s classified.

Huh, that does seem more reasonable than telling her there are vampires in town.

Tell the truth and have her run to the guards? I don't think so. Telling the truth would also involve revealing Ema's real name and appearance, which would be very bad and make it that much harder to do what we came to this city to do.

We could tell her that when we found it and that because of how expensive these things are we actually had no intention of giving it back to a whore.

As for Kharn, we could say that in the short time we've known her we've seen how good a person she is and we want her to be happy but we're a traveler so we can't stay with her so we thought we could try hook her up with a local guy we've kind of become friends with that we thought she would like and he would like her.

Vampires are a bit of a non-sequitur though? Talking about them doesn't explain any of the stuff she is asking about, and only frightens her or makes us look crazy. As of >>933521 I agree with your goal, but not your approach there.


Telling a partial version of the truth (or even spilling all of it) results in a meandering web of improbabilities and murder. It's not going to do any better at convincing her we're legit than making up more lies. Fortunately, we don't have to tell her ANYTHING. We can simply say "sorry, I am in some dangerous shit and I don't want to get you involved" and let it go. It would be nice to do it gently, and in a way that doesn't preclude further contact with this or some other EmaSona, but I'd rather cut losses than make it worse.

It pretty well explains why the hooker died without having to lie and explains why we were being sparing with the truth, Which explains EXACTLY the things she's asking about. It's also a better plan than just pulling a 'need to know basis' card and hoping that changes her mind about Ema being a liar and not wanting to go see Karn, which no way approaches the goal you say you agree with.

Uh, isn't the curfew supposed to be in effect right now? If the guards see us out and about, they might think we're up to something and arrest us for suspicious behavior.

So can we leave or are we stuck here for the night? Because if we're stuck here, we ain't gonna be sharing a bed with Alisa. Maybe we can sleep on the floor or something? Maybe even a private room so that she won't immediately see Ema, in case she can't stay as Elric all night?

I’m not sure if that means she’s gonna let us sleep here or not? Maybe after hearing about the vampires, she wanted us to stay here to keep her safe? We might wanna ask if she wanted us to sleep on the floor or if “stay a little bit longer” meant just long enough to finish this conversation?

Oh, good, she’s still willing to go in the date. Although, now we’ve gotta tell Karn where she wants him to meet her, since it’s not in front of Oran’s shop like he wanted. Eh, we’ll tell him in the morning.

>Uh, isn't the curfew supposed to be in effect right now? If the guards see us out and about, they might think we're up to something and arrest us for suspicious behavior.
That’s actually a good point.

We should tell Alisa that we don’t know if it’s a good idea for us to step outside during the curfew. We don’t need the guards arresting us.

But if she really wants us gone, then we’d better take the risk and go out into the night. And we probably could save ourselves some trouble by going to Tertian‘s house and sleeping there, instead of going in the morning.

Well… somewhat averted. She still clearly thinks less of you than she did before you left.
>Was her tail wagging when she thought about Karn training shirtless?
A little bit, yes. It’s quite obvious that she got a thing for muscular men.
>Oh, good, she’s still willing to go in the date. Although, now we’ve gotta tell Karn where she wants him to meet her, since it’s not in front of Oran’s shop like he wanted.
It’s not that far… and you’ll probably meet up with Oran at the shop anyway as Ema so it wouldn’t be hard to head to the festival with Karn in tow.
>Also, make sure we make up a backstory for Elric to tell to Karn so he isn't confused when asked about it.
You only need to tell him he exists and that the two of you are apparently friendly. No more than that is kind of unnecessary.

>We probably could save ourselves some trouble by going to Tertian‘s house and sleeping there, instead of going in the morning.
The two of you bids your farewells before you head out towards where Karn told you Tertian’s place was. You soon find yourself in a better part of town, right next to the river, on Strawberry road where he supposedly lived. Lives. Whatever.

As you approach what you believe is his abode, you spot three Sakkilian ladies waiting at his doorstep, seemingly expecting him to arrive at any moment. They are clearly here as clientele, desperate to have some fun tonight. Two of them smell about the same as Danus or Alisa, if a little bit darker, but the third… yum…

:NonFoS: Where is he? This is usually the best time to find him.
:FoodFoS: Come on, mommy needs some love!
:NonFoS: Geez, save it for the tramp. But if he don’t come soon, we might not make it before the curfew.
:FoodFoS: Speak for yourself, plebian, I for one live somewhere decent and won’t need to bother myself with such trivialities.

Maybe you can take advantage of their predicament? …or, you can just ignore them and take the backdoor in, as you know he got a spare key hidden back there, atop the door to the left.

Wait, how do you even know that?

>Wait, how do you even know that?
Oh oh. Two things occur to me: You either got some of memory from digesting Terroza, OR, the worst case scenario, you ate Tertian on accident and you got his memory. The last one is bad. You had to ate him later.

Anyway, take the back door? Use another form, so these people don't see Ema around here.

>how do you know that
From his sister's memories I'm guessing. I think we can't search them manually but we can get bits and pieces when in relevant situations.

I think you should go inside via the back door, turn into Terroza(uh, get some new clothes for her somehow), then grab the tasty one, and tell the other two to fuck off. You can eat her for another backup food ration, after interrogating her to find out how useful her form would be.
It's looking like we really should've consumed Tertian first, since his form would've been really useful here. I wonder if eating him now to get his form would count as gluttony? Does the reason you're consuming someone matter? Then again we might not have enough time to learn the form.

...an alternative would be to go inside, switch to some really manly clothes(and wear enough makeup to make it hard to identify him), turn into Elric and answer the door to tell them you're here to fill in for Tertian since he's not going to be home tonight. They're gonna expect a subby male though, don't get dominant again.

>women outside of Tertian’s house
Yeah, if there are women outside of his house all the time, they're definitely going to notice that he's not around anymore, if he's not here consistently.

I honestly think you should just quietly go in the backdoor and ignore all of them. They'll be expecting Tertian and since you don't have his form yet, you can't answer the door and have some fun with them.

>Wait, how do you even know that?
You probably got it from Terroza's memories, since she probably visits her brother from time to time.

>>934191
>Wear makeup, answer door as Elric, claim we're filling in for him.
I doubt they'll believe what a random stranger in Tertian's house will tell them. They'll more likely run off to get a guard.

Even if they did buy that story, I highly doubt Elric will be able to satisfy all of them in bed at the same time. Because if Tertian has someone fill in for him, then that means that his stand in should be able to handle all of these women at once. Elric could barely handle going 2 rounds with 1 woman, so I have my doubts on handling all 3 of these women.

We should also be careful on who we show our Terroza and Tertian forms to, since it would be weird if either of them were seen around town after we told Alisa what happened to them.

Don't forget to also grab any money we find! The only problem is being quiet and not letting these ladies know someone is in the house. Or we could just wait for them to leave.

>Bad idea to stay here all night.
Then where do we go? We can't go to any of the inns, since they'll all be full. And we can't go to Danus, since we told him we'd being going on a date with someone else tomorrow and I'm pretty sure you shouldn't ask to share a bed with someone after you just told them you be dating someone else tomorrow.

The only options left would be to ask either Karn or Oran if we can stay with them.

From Terroza.

Let’s just get in, grab clothes, grab money, and get out. We don’t need these ladies to be hassling us. Make sure you bring the key in with you, quietly close the door, and lock it from the inside in case any of these ladies try to come around the back.

When you leave, make sure you take the spare key with you and lock the back door. Just in case you need to come back here in the future.

>Use another form, so these people don't see Ema around here.
You’re still in your Elric form, so that won’t be a problem.
>You ate Tertian on accident and you got his memory.
…nnno? You’re pretty sure he’s still alive and well? Well might be the wrong word, but still.
>You probably got it from Terroza's memories, since she probably visits her brother from time to time.
That’s has to be it. It’s not so much as it’s a memory, as it’s a… reflex? Muscle memory might be the right word? It just feels like you’ve done this a million times so your body just does it on auto pilot.

>It's looking like we really should've consumed Tertian first, since his form would've been really useful here.
As much as you’d like to continue infecting all the pretty girls in town, you… err… actually, having Tertian’s form right now would be awesome…
>I wonder if eating him now to get his form would count as gluttony?
You are a bit peckish after going around as Elric so long… and you’re pretty sure doing Alisa did drain some power from you, but you’re still not that hungry. Let’s save him for a while longer, just in case.
>Does the reason you're consuming someone matter?
The only good reason is hunger, otherwise you’re just a glutton.
>...hmm, eating a good person is bad. What about laying with a bad person? Is there any downside to that, aside from it being kind of weird, like fucking your food?
As fun as it would be, it would be kind of pointless if you ate them afterwards, as you would gain just as much energy from it as if you hadn’t had your fun. But no, there’s no reason like that why you can’t feed of evil people in that way. You are after all feeding off Karn, aren’t you?

>Turn into Terroza, then grab the tasty one and tell the other two to fuck off. You can eat her for another backup food ration, after interrogating her to find out how useful her form would be.
Hmm… temping… but you’ll need to get some better clothes for Terroza first. No way will she fit the ones you’re currently wearing.
>...an alternative would be to go inside, switch to some really manly clothes(and wear enough makeup to make it hard to identify him), turn into Elric and answer the door to tell them you're here to fill in for Tertian since he's not going to be home tonight.
You’re pretty sure they are neither dumb, drunk nor high enough to trust some random person like that. Besides, they are here for Tertian’s magic… “fingers”, not some random Sakkilian guy’s.


>I honestly think you should just quietly go in the backdoor and ignore all of them.
They on their part ignore as well as you take a sharp turn into the alleyway leading to the back of his house. Then you simply grab the key from its hidey hole and let yourself in. You’re met with the overwhelming smell of sweet fragrances of all kinds, coupled with an overabundance of velvet, silk and the color pink. Pillows line almost all the corners and large velvet drapery hangs from almost every wall, not counting the ones adored with some very risqué art. (Wait, is that a nude of Tertian himself or…?)

>The only problem is being quiet and not letting these ladies know someone is in the house.
They house is surely soundproof; at least to the degree that someone would be able to shout Tertian’s name without anyone else hearing it. All the windows on their part are also completely covered by velvet drapes so there’s no chance they’ll see you either… though, you might cast a shadow if you get to close, so you better be careful about that.
>grab clothes, grab money.
Now, where would he keep his clothes… and coin? You find what you believe is a bedroom… or at least a room with a bed with several shelves, wardrobes and closets so it make a good spot as any to start your search. Opening one of the wardrobes, you find several shelves filled to the brim with similar clothes that he was wearing when you ate him, neatly folded into different piles.

Then the smell hits you. It was hidden under all the incense and sweet aroma, but you feel it getting stronger. Someone else is in here with you, someone less... savory. As you hear footsteps coming down the corridor just outside the room you’re in, you start looking around for a hiding spot, but you barely have time to move, let alone find a good spot to disappear into.

:FoodFoS: ‘eeey, Tertian! Terty! Tert! I didn’t hear you, dude.

Before you have the time to hide properly, a Hiver lady stumbles into view. She sways from side to side and has to keep a firm grip on the door frame to ensure she doesn’t fall over. It takes a few seconds before she reacts to your presence, as if she didn’t even notice you standing right in front of her.

:FoodFoS: Terty Terty Terty, what’s up, what’s… up? Hey…? Why, are you… like… trying to get behind the curtain? Haha!
:ElricFoS: Err…
:FoodFoS: Whoa! When did you learn to fly Terti, Tertian, Tert? Haha! Also, nice duds. Not the shit you usually wear, tert, but I dig, eh?
:ElricFoS: …Thanks?
:FoodFoS: You don’t mind if I let myself in, Tertian? Terti? I was just coming over to collect the stuff, eh? Most of it was useless as usual, but there’s some good shit in there. Haha! Hey, didn’t you like… tell me you found this ring that I could sell for some… good shit or some shit? Yeah, didn’t find it anywhere, man…
:ElricFoS: Yeah, the ring… it’s some good shit. It’s… around here somewhere?
:FoodFoS: Speaking of some good shit, this shit is some good stuff. From the snake boy, right? This is some shit! Haha!
:ElricFoS: It sure is.
:FoodFoS: Haha! Hey, hey! You know, you should tell your sis to get people with actual pocket money, hey? So I don’t have to sell some shitty copper bracelets and shit, eh? Haha… oh, hey! I know! Why don’t you tell her to grab some cute Hiver boys next time, eh? They are always so feisty when they are desperate, haha!

She takes another swing from the bottle in her claws before almost falling over. She’s clearly under the influence of something and going by the smell it’s the same stuff Tertian was doing. Though, she smells way stronger of it, but even then she can’t mask the sweet smell of delicious evil under it.

:FoodFoS: Whoa! Rainbows! Neat! Haha!

>karn
Karn isn't evil. He's just a bad person. Remember, misdeeds come in a sliding scale. Also I'm starting to think we should raise the bar a little. Karn beats up people who he thinks are harassing him, even without evidence-- that's not exactly a crime worthy of death. He thinks his victims deserve it. Oran is just a drug dealer, again not worth death. He doesn't think of himself as hurting anyone. Tertian... might be the new bar. Set it a bit lower than him and our meal compass is better calibrated.

>>934546
Sounds like Tertian has indeed been a very bad boy. He spots targets for his sister to rob or worse, and profits from it. So does this hiver lady.
It would be really easy to just walk over and grab her. Only possible issue is that she's full of drugs right now. If you eat her, will you get a dose of the drugs too? You might have to tell her to to bed, and you can snatch her up later when she's sober. If you can find that ring first, that could get her to calm down and sleep off the potions.

It's a good thing she's really high and your Elric form has red scales just like Tertian, otherwise she'd be panicking over a stranger in her friend's house!

This also shows that if random people will be letting themselves in, you can't sleep here. Looks like you'll have to go to either Oran or Karn to sleep at their place.

>What do?
Hope she passes out and then start looking around for clothes and money and whatever else could be useful.

Don't take any of the potions, since you wouldn't want the guards to catch you with them.

>>934552
>Change food bar to be a little below Tertian.
Yeah, that's probably for the best.

According to Ema, Tertian was a 50% evil, so just below that would make our bar at 45% evil. Meaning anyone that's 46% or higher is food.

Let's test out the new food bar on this lady. Where does she sit on it?

>>934572
>Make her talk more about Oran.
It's most likely stuff we already know about him.

And if you're hoping she'll tell us about the drugs, I doubt she's in any condition to tell us anything useful.

You also can't blame Oran for still making these potions behind Ema's back, since Tertian probably had a bunch stockpiled here at his house before we told Oran to stop making them. Besides, I highly doubt Oran is the only one making these things.

Don’t eat her yet. The Swords told you that you can still be affected by potions, so it stands to reason that you’d also end up being addicted to these potions if you ate someone that’s probably finished drinking a whole barrel of the stuff.

If not immediately, I'm thinking we just schloomp her up now before shenanigans can occur. We can vomit her out later if the drugs would eventually affect us - she'll probably just assume it was a really weird trip.

Otherwise, paralyze, and drag her around if you can keep your hand on her without making too much noise; otherwise, we'll either have to get her out of the house or just stab the thot.

>Also I'm starting to think we should raise the bar a little. Karn beats up people who he thinks are harassing him, even without evidence-- that's not exactly a crime worthy of death. He thinks his victims deserve it.
He is still hurting innocent people, even if in his own twisted mind he believes they are guilty. Your very reason for existing is to protect those that are innocent, thus you cannot let him continue, no matter his motives. If he refuses to change you’ll have no choice but to protect those that he hurts in the only way you can. Don’t ask what he deserves, but what those that he hurts deserve.
>Oran is just a drug dealer, again not worth death. He doesn't think of himself as hurting anyone.
Yet he quite clearly does, no matter what he thinks. You don’t know how dangerous his drug is yet, but it’s clearly addictive. There’s a reason why that shit is illegal. Maybe looking into what, exactly, his drug does would be prudent.

>Sounds like Tertian have indeed been a very bad boy. He spots targets for his sister to rob or worse, and profits from it. So does this hiver lady.
Worse is probably the right word. This Hiver outright said that Hiver boys they brought in would do anything when they were desperate. That doesn’t really sound like robbery, does it?
>It's a good thing she's really high and your Elric form has red scales just like Tertian, otherwise she'd be panicking over a stranger in her friend's house!
You’re pretty sure she’s so out there right now that she wouldn’t panic even if the building was on fire. It does making her trust you way easier, though.
>This also shows that if random people will be letting themselves in, you can't sleep here.
The question is, are there anyone else that would let themselves in? You’re pretty sure his sister would let herself in when she needed him… and this Hiver clearly has some kind of business relationship with him. But other than that… hmm….
>There’s also a possibility that she’s not the only one that lives here and Tertian has a harem of women that live with him.
…his harem is his clientele? And they pay him to sleep here, they don’t just let themselves in without his permission.
>If necessary we can remove the spare key to make the house secure. Or at least make it obvious when someone else is going to be here.
You’ve already pocketed the key just to make sure no one else can enter his abode. You’re probably safe here.

>According to Ema, Tertian was a 50% evil, so just below that would make our bar at 45% evil. Meaning anyone that's 46% or higher is food.
Here’s the thing, your snoot isn’t really that precise that you can tell exactly how evil someone is. You can make some comparisons with people you’ve smelled recently, but even then you’re doing it out of memory, which isn’t really reliable. Of course, that doesn’t mean you won’t try.
>Let's test out the new food bar on this lady. Where does she sit on it?
…you’re not sure. A bit under Tertian, you think? It’s hard to tell with all those sweet smelling substances she’s covered in.

:ElricFoS: Err… yeah, that does sound like sis alright.
:FooDFoS: Have no idea how she gets them out of the city, though. Know a bunch of smugglers and none of them know anyone who gets people out of the city. A lot of people going in, but not out. Haha, it’s doesn’t make any sense! OH! MAYBE THEY FLY OUT! HAHA!
:ElricFoS: So… about the good shit you’re drinking?

She finally loses her balance and fall to the floor into her knees. After a few seconds of just sitting there waiting for the fall to register, she crawls towards you before lunging towards you, catching your legs in a tight hug.

While it would be the easiest course of action, you might regret getting those drugs of hers inside you. Then again, maybe you can just let her sober up inside you before you absorb her?

Not seeing a counter to hide her behind aside, knocking her out wouldn’t be too hard. You think? You’ve never knocked anyone out before…

Right. But first you need to deal with this hiver lady. Do you just “Schloomp” her up, knock her out, convince her to go to sleep or do you just stab her to death?

It doesn’t help that she currently hugging your legs hard enough to stop the blood circulation.

You know what, no. No mercy, she knew she was doing bad shit, she knew his sister was sending people to their slavery, and she did nothing but benefit from it. And Tertian too, he even got pleasure of knowing you would be a next victim. They all fucked up. To the belly with them.

But before that, we need to know who else knows of their dirty deeds, just to make sure who else is our next target and to be careful, because their disappearance will not be noticed.

Karn can be stopped in another way. Find the people he's hurt, find out which of them are innocent and which are guilty, and confront him with that information. Maybe even find out who is currently harassing him so he doesn't think you're working against him.
Again, both Oran and Karn are not evil. They are bad people, doing harm through self-delusion, ignorance, and frustration brought out by their bad situations. Evil people do harm to the innocent while knowing that they're doing it, because they feel other people are inferior or otherwise not worth caring about, and have something to gain from hurting them. Oran and Karn do care about people, they're just not seeing the truth of their actions. The true nature of a person is revealed when they know exactly what they're doing.
Also, from what you're saying right now, it sounds like you'd consider someone guilty of murder if they accidentally killed someone. Motive matters!

>victims are naked, never seen leaving the city
I think they're being fed to the vampires. Tertian probably didn't know, though. He'd smell guiltier if he did.

>hiver lady is high as fuck, being weird about Tertian, feeling guilty
I'm not so sure she should be eaten, at this point. She obviously wants to stop doing bad things, and if you can't smell her properly due to the drugs then you shouldn't trust your nose.
Tell her you're not in the mood for kisses. You've had a bad day. ...tell her if she wants out, you can arrange things. Tell her you'll talk again in the morning after she sobers up.
In the morning, you should talk to her again. I'm not sure what form is best, but she'd definitely recognize Terroza.

No. 934759 ID: b1b4f3

Even if she is super guilty and shows no signs of remorse when sober, we DO need someone to interrogate! She's a drug addict and we have access to her drug dealer. That means we can get information from her in exchange for drugs.
We at least need more names, who else is involved in the "slavery" ring.

...hang on, is this the "messenger" that was seen talking to one of the vampires?

No. 934761 ID: 094652

Convince her to follow you, then knock her out and tie her up when you're near Kern's place. Vomit Tertian and tie him up, let them talk it out and see what happens.

Shit. If she is the messenger, then that means the vampire hunters might be nearby looking for her or they’ve followed her here and are waiting for the right moment to kick in the door to come interrogate her!

And if they kick in the door and catch us in the middle of eating her, then they’ll be chasing after us! Which would be even worse if it turns out the drugs in her system affects us, even if we don’t absorb her!

Not only would a drugged up Ema have a hard time running away, she would also be more likely to eat innocent people!

Shouldn't you have a memory of how to do that from one of the swords previous owners?

I'm pretty sure knocking someone out with either the sheath or the butt of your sword falls under "skills associated with swords" that you should be able to use. Unless that's something else the swords failed to mention that you don't have access to.

Perhaps she's drugged up enough that, once you touch her head and paralyze her, she'll pass out?

>>934772
I also don't like how there's a possibility Athena and Kern could show up any moment now.

We really don't need them catching us eating someone nor do we need Ema so drugged up that she could attack them or accidentally reveal herself as an undead.

>Shouldn't you have a memory of how to do that from one of the swords previous owners?
You do know hitting someone over the head with the hilt of the sword with enough force will generally make them stop moving. Now, if it’s because they are dead or because you just gave them enough head trauma to give them some permanent brain damage depends on how hard headed they are. Either way, knocking out people is surprisingly hard if you want to keep them in a good shape afterwards, apparently?
>Perhaps she's drugged up enough that, once you touch her head and paralyze her, she'll pass out?
Hmm, it’s possible… or her drugged up state might just make it harder to knock her out, as her body won’t feel that it’s supposed to go unconscious.
>Now we know what exactly was Oran selling and to whom. We need to have a serious chat with that boy.
You still aren’t sure what exactly this substance is and what its effects are, but yes, you’ll need to give him a stern talking to and attempt to convince him to stop this nonsense.
>Karn can be stopped in another way. Find the people he's hurt, find out which of them are innocent and which are guilty, and confront him with that information.
And then make sure he feel guilty about it and redeem himself. He can’t continue causing harm like that.

>...tell her if she wants out, you can arrange things.
:FooDFoS: Arrange things? Why can’t we just leave? Just grab our stuff and leave for the horizon at sunrise? Just… fly away! Weee….
:ElricFoS: We can’t just leave like that, can we?
:FooDFoS: Why not? Haha, it’s not like anyone would come looking for us or anything… we’ll just disappear… and be gone… poof… like magic! MAGIC! HAHA!
:ElricFoS: How are we supposed to live without any gold to our names?
:FooDFoS: Hah… haha… Terti, Terti, Terti. I have so much fucking coin after all those suckers we’ve sold… don’t you have it too? Or did it also go poof? Haha…
:ElricFoS: Err… sure…
:FooDFoS: Also, you’re a fucking gold mine! Gold fucker! Whatever! Haha!
>We need to know who else knows of their dirty deeds, just to make sure who else is our next target.
:ElricFoS: So… hey, do you know when we’re supposed to… sell the next sucker?
:FooDFoS: Haha, why are you asking me that, Terti? You and your ugly sis are the ones who take care of that shit. I just sell the stuff we pilfer from the corpses! Haha! I mean… not actually corpses, but you get it! Wait, why are you suddenly asking me about that? Are you… not Tertian? Gasp! I knew it!
:ElricFoS: Wha-
:FooDFoS: You’re his evil twin! AWESOME! Let’s have a threesome!
:ElricFoS: I’m not my own evil twin, love.
:FooDFoS: Aw…
:ElricFoS: Anyway, speaking of my Sis… what do you think she does with everyone we… catch?
:FooDFoS: Eh, probably sell them to some silver mines or something? It’s those creepy twins that pick them up right? Don’t they own some mine or something? But who the fuck cares? They are probably going to be dead in a few years anyway. Those fucking silver mines are death traps, Haha!
:ElricFoS: …if you say so.

>No mercy, she knew she was doing bad shit, she knew his sister was sending people to their slavery, and she did nothing but benefit from it. And Tertian too, he even got pleasure of knowing you would be a next victim. They all fucked up. To the belly with them.
She is clearly evil and needs to be stopped.
>Even if she is super guilty and shows no signs of remorse when sober, we DO need someone to interrogate! She's a drug addict and we have access to her drug dealer.
You’ve already tried asking her a few questions, but it’s clear she either doesn’t know anything or she’s too high to really talk. Either way, you’ll need to wait for her to sober up a bit first.
>Let's schloomp her up now and vomit her out when we're done casing the place.
Let’s make sure she can’t get away in a way that someone can’t accidently walk in on. You also need to know if you actually can get people out from there and it would be better if you tried it on someone that you wouldn’t miss instead of one that you would. Though, you have to wonder… just how out there is she? Hmm…

:ElricFoS: Hey, I just remember where I put that ring. See, I kind of accidently… swallowed it?
:FooDFoS: What? Really? Haha, I guess we just have to… ew… wait for it to come out then?
:ElricFoS: You got long arms, don’t you? Maybe you can pull it out?
:FooDFoS: What? You mean… you want me to just reach into there and… pull it out?
:ElricFoS: Have you ever tried? Your arms are longer than my upper body after all, so it wouldn’t be a problem, right?
:FooDFoS: …wait, you can do that? I didn’t know that! Haha! Why haven’t anyone else told me that before? Open up, I’m going in!
:ElricFoS: You’re wh- MFF!?

She practically shoves her arm into your maw before you can do anything else. You didn’t expect her to be this easy to convince.

:FooDFoS: Open wider! I can almost reach it! I… think? Haha… geez… I didn’t think this was possible?

The original plan was to trick her into leaning close enough for you to gobble her up, but instead she practically feed herself to you. Even as her head and shoulders disappear into you she continue pressing herself further, seemingly desperate to find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes. By the time her feet loses their footing you can simply lean your head back and let gravity do the rest. She has to have been the easiest meal yet… to bad you’ll probably need to get her out later…

Either way… err… whatever her name was, she’s been dealt with for now.

>I think they're being fed to the vampires.
…that sounds way too plausible. It would explain both why so many people have disappeared, but also why they don’t seem to leave the city either. This place is just a huge smörgåsbord for those fiends!
>...hang on, is this the "messenger" that was seen talking to one of the vampires?
…she was a fence, not a messenger. Unless she was selling stolen goods to them, you don’t think she had anything to do with them personally. There’s a ton of Hivers in this city after all, so the chances of it being her is rather slim.
>If she is the messenger, then that means the vampire hunters might be nearby looking for her or they’ve followed her here and are waiting for the right moment to kick in the door to come interrogate her!
You’re pretty sure they would have kicked down the door long before you even got here! Otherwise, they are probably waiting for you to leave, if they know you’re here. Less witnesses that way, right?
>If they kick in the door and catch us in the middle of eating her, then they’ll be chasing after us!
Even if they kicked in the door the moment you started eating her, you gobbled her up so fast that she would be gone by the time they reached this room. You’re really getting the hang of this eating business after all.

>Don’t forget that the main reason you’re here is to take any clothes that can fit your male forms and take any money you can find.
Right, remember your priorities. Time to search this place from top to bottom.



Having gone through every cupboard, shelf and cabinet, you can safely say that you’ve found everything that might be interesting to you. Not counting all of his… “working tools” and the like.

You found several boxes full of clothes, both male and females ones, coming in all kind of shapes and sizes. (Is that a freaking wizard hat?). It would be enough to find new clothes for every last of your forms.

Beyond that you also found a huge bag filled to the brim with coin, enough for any kind of purchase you might need for the near future.

Then there’s this small bottled labeled as a very potent sleeping drug, which might come in handy?

The curfew is probably starting soon, so if you don’t want to spend the night here you’ll probably need to leave right now. The problem is, there’s no way you can take all of this with you… and most of this stuff would probably be rather bad to have on your person in case the guards find you. Which means that you might need to stay here for the night? It would give you enough time to go through the clothes, right?

Oh, and there’s drugs. A lot of drug bottles, though most of them are empty.

It's his choice. You can't force someone to be good, only convince them to try to change. Stop threatening to eat him, for starters.
>She is clearly evil
There you go with that word again. At least state their sins when you judge them. But yes, she's a slaver who expects the slaves to die, which basically makes her an accessory to murder. She and Tertian deserve the death penalty. She wants to run away, but apparently that's not because she empathizes with her victims, so she's not likely to redeem herself either, and neither will Tertian I expect.

>Tertian and his sister did all the selling of slaves
...how long will Tertian stay fresh? We need to at least find out who one of their contacts is so "Terroza" can visit them for the next link in the chain... I wonder if his bedroom is soundproof? That would make it an excellent interrogation location. Any way to tell?
>>934934
>STUFF
He didn't have a diary? Or anything like that? No clues as to who he's dealing with?
We may have to search Terroza's place if we're absolutely not puking up Tertian. ...or maybe that edible lady outside is one of his contacts?

Take a portion of the gold so you don't have to carry around a conspicuously large bag. I'm not sure how to handle the clothes, aside from packing them in a suitcase or something. Don't take any drugs outside at night.

Could you eat the clothes and vomit them up later, or would you absorb them? Is your stomach a Bag of Holding plus a Bag of Devouring?
If not, wear a pair or two of the skimpier clothes beneath your other clothes, and wear whatever you have/found that's more concealing on top. Easy.

Just take some of the gold - a decent amount, but not enough to where you jingle like a greedy gold goblin.

Also, we're totally taking that pimpin' wizard hat.

Take the clothes and gold, bury or hide the probably illegal sleeping drugs in a place only you will know to look. You'll sneak past curfew no problem; As you've proven in both the forest and the sewers, you're worlds better at sneaking than you are at, well, anything remotely social or cerebral. Even if you do manage to get caught, you can either bribe or eat a (almost certainly corrupt) guard that tries to stop you and probably get away with it since you've technically got nothing illegal on you. That seems unlikely so long as you keep to the alleyways or rooftops though, or try to make your way through the sewers.

I’d say close up the shop early & hunker down for the night. Spit out our hiver girl & tie her up and I guess make conversation some more through the hours as we wait for drugs to get out of her system.
Decide if we’re hungry enough to eat her than vs normal killing vs more storing her in our hammerspace vs letting her survive when the time for it comes (strongly in favour of making her a more long-term character)

Actually maybe we can put her to use on the side of good by drugging her back up to cloud 9 & keeping her there after we’re done with extracting info out of the hiver while she’s sober. She can be a malleable tool while she’s drugged and this store & body can be as good a hiding place as any for the time we can set her to any number of simple jobs a least for a little while tommorow. Take all ‘our’ cash to a stash site, send her onher drug dealing rounds but with the addendum that she ask for her buyer’s names & addresses, lots of things.

Personally I think that we at some point should drop our disguise & declaring our righteous existence for purging evil in front of her during the ‘sober’ interrogation at some point. If we kill her after, no biggie, if we go with the drug her plot I suggested she’ll just think she had another trip.

>>934944
>>934945
This seems to be a problem based solely around us lacking in education about Hiver anatomy. I think that it a a problem which requires amending, when we get around to spitting her up for a sober interrogation & possible execution we should go about poking around her body. Strip down the bug, ask about the history & culture of her people & test for chinks in the chiton, bodily features of note, where her sex hole is, areas of sensitivity on her hiver body are, all in the persuit of fucking the brains out of a hive-I mean acquiring scholarly on hands knowlage for future slaying of evil.

I doubt a drug-addled criminal will be of any use to us.
I especially doubt she's willing to try to get off the stuff, or able to keep secrets.

Though I am in 100% favor of fucking an insect, I am not interested in this one. Going off what she's told us so far, she barely knows anything more.
We can garner anatomical knowledge from books at the library, most likely - there, we shall learn whether insect has pusspuss or cloaca.

Explore the shop layout, lock the doors, close the shade, flip the little open/closed sign thingie. Spit the hiver out/truss up & prepare on the some kind of setup to keep blood splatters to a minimum. Ideally once sober she’ll put 2&2 together from the setup that she’s on a very thin line between life and death. We do some serious talk & I guess see what her plea case is for us to not murder her. ( Death by overdosing?)

Wow, that’s actually even more brutal than what I was going for. I’ll +1 behind some of this as well. Namely the sex anatomy inspection.

The key word there is slight. We easily got rid of Vivian’s impulses when we turned into her the first time. And when we turned into her in front of Karn, Ema didn’t have any sort of reaction towards Karn that would suggest that those impulses still remained.

I’m thinking that once we turn into someone, those “slight impulses” only stick around for a little bit and then they go away, which would remove any risk of becoming a drug addict.

>It's Karn’s choice. You can't force someone to be good, only convince them to try to change. Stop threatening to eat him, for starters.
It’s indeed Karn’s choice if he wants to change… but if he don’t… well, you can’t let him continue and there’s only one way you can make sure he doesn’t.
>There you go with that word again. At least state their sins when you judge them.
You can’t really smell the specific sins, so you have to find those out some other way. The one thing that the smell tells you is if they’ve bathed themselves in someone’s soul, as in, killed someone.

>He didn't have a diary? Or anything like that? No clues as to who he's dealing with?
He had a diary, but it was filled with entries about makeup and pretty butterflies. Nothing about what he was doing here...
>How long will Tertian stay fresh?
The swords said a day or two before you absorb him no matter if you want to or not. So… he’s fresh until at least tomorrow evening?
>I wonder if his bedroom is soundproof? That would make it an excellent interrogation location. Any way to tell?
You can only guess that it is, but you have no idea what to look for to see if it actually is. This is quite the good place to use as a base, though, as long as no one else comes here regularly.

>Once we're done, vomit up the insect inside the house and give 'er a brand new hole on the neck.
And waste a perfectly good meal? No way. She’s food.
>Spit out our hiver girl & tie her up and I guess make conversation some more through the hours as we wait for drugs to get out of her system.

>Strip down the bug & test for chinks in the chitin, bodily features of note, where her sex hole is, areas of sensitivity on her hiver body are, all in the pursuit of fucking the brains out of a hive-I mean acquiring scholarly on hands knowledge for future slaying of evil.
That’s… um… you’re pretty sure she wouldn’t actually agree to that and… you’re justice, you’re supposed to protect the innocent by removing the evil in the world. Not fuck it against their will.
>It would be consensual if she’s high at the time of inspection. Loophole acquired.
…that’s not how that works. That’s not how it works at all!
>Actually maybe we can put her to use on the side of good by drugging her back up to cloud 9 & keeping her there after we’re done with extracting info out of the hiver while she’s sober.
Yeah, no, you’re pretty sure keeping her constantly drugged will end badly. An easier way to turn her to the side of good? Absorb her and take her form. After she’s sobered up, of course.

>Still don't think it's a good idea to digest her now or later. We do inherit slight impulses from those we eat - don't want one to be "crippling drug addiction".
You usually only experience them when you’re in the form of the person in question, so if it’s to crippling you’ll simple not use it.
>We easily got rid of Vivian’s impulses when we turned into her the first time. And when we turned into her in front of Karn, Ema didn’t have any sort of reaction towards Karn that would suggest that those impulses still remained.
Well, there was this huge urge to punch Karn in his smug face as well as plowing him like a field in spring. Not sure if that was just you or Vivi, though. Who wouldn’t want to punch a smug male like Karn in the face after all, Ohoho…

>Let's not stay here. There's no telling if those "twins" will show up.
You rather meet those two on your own terms, so let’s get out of here even if it means leaving most of the sweet booty behind.
>Head for Oran to spend the night with him.
Great idea. He’s bound to have somewhere you can sleep! And you know he’s home!
>Maybe you can gobble these things up? I mean, you can do it with the swords, right?
The swords are part of you, thus they can become one with you at will. Otherwise you can only consume living things, you know, like people. Besides, anything organic would still be digested… and the coin would be corroded beyond use. As for the drugs… yeah, no.

…or you can just grab one of the boxes, you guess? While you can’t grab everything, one box would be enough, no?
>Make sure you get some that are Varkian sized and Serpent shaped, since you've also got Varkian and Serpent forms.

>Better include some Hiver shaped clothes for when we eventually get a Hiver form.

Right, beerd form it is! You bet this sweet wizard hat looks awesome on your feathery head!
>Turn off all the lights, lock all the doors and windows, leave the house. Make sure you bring the key with you.
You turn off the few lights that were still on and make sure everything is locked up tight before you take your leave with the key.

Sneaking around someone is way easier then navigating the mine field that is social interaction, okay? Anyway, you’re off towards Oran’s for the night, with a ton of gold, a box full of clothes and a belly full of girl! This mission was a huge success!

Oh, she likes to say that, didn’t she?

Friend and food is basically the same word, if you disregard the middle part!

Last time on Polnareff Peculiar Pursuit…

:BoneraffBC: Your mother was hamster and your father smell of elderberries!
:JosephBC: *GASP* How dare you insult my hamster! Have at thee, you elderly milkmaid!
:BoneraffBC: Milkmaid? How appropriate, because you fight like a COW! Hon hon hon!
:AvdolBC: His insults are too strong, Mr. Joestar! We have no choice but to retreat!
:KakyoinBC: To the sea! Only a mitey pirate can teach us how to defend against such insults!
:JotaroBC: Yare yare daze…

---------

:KakyoinBC: -and that proves once and for all that COMMUNISM is the superior ideology when it comes to the amount of booty calls per capital.
:HolBC: OH NO! BASIC LOGIC! MY AND ‘MERICAN ONE WEAKNESS! CURSE YOU!
:StroheimBC: Something that’s more powerful than SCIENCE!? I did nazi that coming! I admit defeat.
:AvdolBC: …nothing of what you just said made any sense, Mr. Kakyoin.
:KakyoinBC: Shhh, not so loud.
:JotaroBC: Yare yare daze…

--------

:BoneraffBC: My name is Polnareff. You killed my sister. Prepare to die!
:HolBC: Silly Polnareff, guns don’t kill people, violent video games does!
:BoneraffBC: …wait, didn’t we already do this joke last ti-
:HolBC: The only way to stop this wave of violence is to introduce more gambling! By adding loot boxes to every game and forcing all the children to become heavily in debt gambling addicts can we make ‘merica somewhat decent again!
:BoneraffBC: …you don’t want them to have any money so they can’t buy weapons?
:HolBC: What? NO! It’s our AMERICAN RIGHT to have guns! As president, I promise that there will be a loot box in every game and two guns in every newborn hand! Only by giving toddler gun can we fight gun violence! Vote Hol Horse in the 1989 election!
:BoneraffBC: Sacre bleu! You’re a worse monster than I thought! Die monster, you don’t belong in this wo- wait, you don’t left hands! That means you didn’t kill my sister! Pardon, but it seems like I’ve mistaken you for someone else.
:HolBC: Don’t mention it, it happens all the time. Good luck with murdering someone in cold blood… like a real ‘merican!
:BoneraffBC: Adieu.

-------

:AvdolBC: We’re finally here, Mr. Joestar. In Egypt.
:JosephBC: Ah, to finally reach our destination after such a long and dangerous journey. Why, to just think back to the many perils we conquered on the way here…

:JosephBC: OH MY GAAAD! This is the end of us!
:KakyoinBC: My only regret is not banging everyone’s mom!
:AvdolBC: Stay strong. We can make it if we work together.

:KakyoinBC: Perils? We sat on a plane for 16 hours and absolutely nothing happened.
:JosephBC: Nothing happened? We almost lost Jotaro to those dastardly peanuts!
:AvdolBC: I didn’t even know he was allergic to peanuts.
:JotaroBC: I’m not. I just ate a few to many too fast.
:JosephBC: But none of that matters, as we have finally arrived at DIO’s dastardly LAIR! BEHOLD!

:AvdolBC: Mr. Joestar, are you sure this is-
:JosephBC: Of course I’m sure! Have you ever seen such an evil place ever before!? It’s clearly been corrupted by DIO’s very presence!

:JosephBC: Now, we’ll need a plan. You can’t simply walk into a McDonalds and-
:BoneraffBC: Times up. Let’s do this! Hon Hon Hon!
:JosephBC: OLLLYYY SHEEET! Polnareff just went in! Quick, come up with a plan before DIO kills us all with his awesome powers!!

Okay the best way to fight against an enemy stand is to figure out what its power is and then counter it.
So let's watch Polnareff get his ass handed to him, and use that information to figure out how to fight DIO.
If he starts fighting someone who isn't DIO just pile in there and help.

>Buy a shit ton of garlic.
:JosephBC: GREAT IDEA! Wait… I have an even better idea! Quick, Kakyoin, go and buy all the garlic bread you can find!
:AvdolBC: …why garlic bread, Mr. Joestar.
:JosephBC: Because it’s delicious! Not even a master vampire like DIO can resist the urge to eat garlic bread!
:KakyoinBC: And you’re sending me because…
:JosephBC: So that you’ll be conveniently gone at the start of the fight with DIO. That way, when everything looks lost, you can come to the rescue… and then get horribly murdered.
:KakyoinBC: Wait, what was that last part?
:JosephBC: RUN, KAKYOIN, RUN! We need that garlic bread!

>Okay the best way to fight against an enemy stand is to figure out what its power is and then counter it.
:AvdolBC: But Mr. Joestar, the only way to figure out his stand power is to see it in action.
:JosephBC: Exactly!
:AvdolBC: …don’t tell me we’re going to let Polnareff get his ass handed to him just to get some information?
:JosephBC: Why do we care what happens to him? It’s Polnareff!
:JotaroBC: Besides, if anyone would survive a fight with DIO it would be Polnareff. You know how brave those Frenchmen are and how they can never surrender! I bet he would survive even something like getting all his limbs chopped off before being thrown from a cliff into the sea… though he’d probably need to possess a stand using turtle or something after that…
:AvdolBC: That does make sense… except for the turtle part, at least. Now, what’s he doing? Is he still in good shape?
:JotaroBC: He’s… eating?

:BoneraffBC: Om nom nom! At least I got chicken!
:JosephBC: What’s going on? Why haven’t DIO or one of his underlings attacked him yet?
:JotaroBC: A better question is where did you get those chicken wings? These is a McDonalds, not a KFC.
:AvdolBC: MAGICAN RED!? NOOO!!! HE’S EATING HIM! HE’S EATING MY STAND!
:JosephBC: And then his going to eat me! OH MAH GAAAAAD!!!
:AvdolBC: What? No, he… what?

:JotaroBC: And why are you in a McDonalds?
:DioBC: …Because I, DIO, work here?
:AvdolBC: …an all-powerful vampire works… at a McDonalds?
:DioBC: Even an immortal vampire needs to earn his bread after all. Do you know how expensive bread crumbs are? Trust me, I, DIO, have counted every one.

:DioBC: I, DIO, is wondering what do you three wish to order? Our tasty burgers will ANNIHILATE your taste buds!
:JosephBC: WATCH OUT! HE GOT KNIVES!
:DioBC: You’ll need a knife if you want to DECIMATE our fine burgers. Now, how about I, DIO, put on some of my favorite music and-
:JosephBC: WATCH OUT! HE GOT A CD OF VANILLA ICE!
:DioBC: The only thing you need to watch out from these sweet tunes is how they will ASSASINATE your ear drums! Trust me, I, DIO, got only good intentions with-
:JosephBC: WATCH OUT! HE GOT GOOD INTENTIONS!
:DioBC: *Sigh* I, DIO, would EXTERMINATE for a better job right now…

:JosephBC: Avdol, quick, attack him before he can put that cd on! We have no protection something so… so… WHITE!
:AvdolBC: How!? Polnareff ate my fucking stand!
:JotaroBC: Yeah, about that… aren’t you supposed to be dead because of-
:JosephBC: NO TIME FOR THAT! Quick, Avdol, act like my stand!
:AvdolBC: …what?
:JosephBC: I will control you! Like Pokemon battle! Quick! Attack!
:AvdolBC: …if that is your wish, Mr. Joestar.
:JosephBC: Avdol, use… let’s see…

Choose an attack for Avdol.
A) Self-destruct.
B) Explosion.
C) Final Gambit.
D) High Jump Kick.

:AvdolBC: WHAT THE FUCK IS MY MOVE SET!? I don’t want to do any of those!
:DioBC: You know, I would consider this quite rude. I only wanted to offer you gents a glass of fine Chianti with some of my favorite music and you’re already trying to EXTIRPATE me. Quite rude indeed.

:JotaroBC: HA! Then you’ll… wait, what?
:DioBC: Also, that’s a bit of a myth. The machine isn’t usually broken, they are usually just being cleaned and maintained, which takes over 4 hours at the best of times.
:JotaroBC: But… that means…
:DioBC: I, DIO, simply never CLEAN OUR ICE CREAM MACHINE!
