>>18810972
NO!
First, we get over ourselves and help Lawrence.

>Implying Kisaragi wasn't the best Company

>>18811012
Agreed, Lawrence is in a bad way and needs help. After that we need to deal with Cass and then deal with whatever we got out of our last mission.

Once all that is delt with we can have sex with Elsie

oh fuck you soymilk EVERYWHERE

Hey guys you know what we haven't done yet? Guys night out. We should invite Josh and then Laurence, Mooch and Dave and hit up the town. Safety in numbers and we have an unobtrusive way of spending time with Laurence and find out whats eating him.

YOU ARE ALEX RASTON.

Currently, you are making waffles for everybody.

You didn't intend to do this, but you couldn't get the batter to mix right until you had enough to feed the whole team, not just you and Elsie.

Apparently Mooch didn't do the normal routine, since he spent all night repairing your core so you and Elsie are currently the only ones awake. Mooch walked past with a warning not to wake him until noon.

You look at the giant pile of fluffy golden brown waffles, fresh out of the Waffle Iron.

>Wat do?

[ ] Wake everybody.
[ ] Send Elsie to wake everybody.
[ ] Enjoy a quiet breakfast, then let everybody else eat while you look at job postings.

>>18811525
Wake errybody

>>18811525
[x] Wake everybody.
Everyone EXCEPT Mooch.

>>18811525
Wake everybody that isn't Mooch.

>>18811525
Send Elsie, talk to the girl

[ ] Wake everybody.

We are going to be one big happy family eventually. The sooner the better.

>>18811525
[x]Enjoy a Quiet Breakfast

Wake everybody, including Mooch.
Group meeting, he can sleep when it's dead and cold.

>>18811525
[X] Send Elsie to wake everybody.

Fresh press some orange juice and wake up Cassandra.

>>18811541
This

>>18811525
Send Elsie make fresh orange juice or make fresh whipped cream I dunno. What ever you do make more deliciousness.

>>18811553
>>18811541

These guys know what's up.
WE WON'T FALL FOR YOUR TRICKS

>>18811525
Hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband cause we wakin' errybody out here!

[X] Wake everybody...except Mooch. He'd probably kill us if we woke him right now.

Also, I've been reading the archives on AC quest to catch up, and I just have to say this...

>>18790125
So we're imitating the Emeraude rep?

[x] Everyone but Mooch
Failing that,
[x] Quiet one

You tell Elsie to set the table for you while you get people out of bed.

You discover Ari slept over as well in one of the spare rooms, since it was really late when that little chain of events happened.

Speaking of which, after discovering Lawrence isn't in his room (apparently he didn't come home last night), you go wake your newest arrival. She joins you for breakfast, as the rest of the group shuffles in.

Everybody except Mooch. You remember the last time you woke him up after an all-nighter, he can STAY comatose for all you care.

You dish out the breakfast, and you decide to have a little conversation.

[ ] What's up with Cass?
[ ] How'd the date go between Dave and Ari?
[ ] Next opportunity for work?
[ ] Has anybody seen Laurie?

[x] Laurie!

>>18811682
I'm torn between Laurie and Cass.

Let's Laurie first.

>>18811682
Has anyone seen Laurie, we'll get answers on the Cass front no matter what but Laurie's disappearance is odd, he usually is reliable as hell.

>>18811682
Laurie first

then Cass

>>18811682
[X] Has anybody seen Laurie?

>>18811682
[x] Has anybody seen Laurie?

>>18811682

Laurie

>[x] Has anybody seen Laurie?
As much as I'd love to make little sister's life awkward, we need to find Lawrence and help him out.

[x] Has anybody seen Laurie?

Seems like a fine thing to ask in this situation. No need to GRILL the girl first thing in the morning.

>>18811682
Where's Laury?

Char I mean Laurie?

>>18811766
Laurie, he is a CHAR!

>>18811682
[x] Has anybody seen Laurie?
With the attacks on us recently, I think it important we know where members of our team are.

"Has anybody seen Laurie since he left last night?"

"He was here earlier, walked out after saying something about a mistake. Haven't seen him since."

"Should we be concerned about that?"

"I don't see why yet. I mean, it's hardly the first time he's up and vanished for a while. I'll call around the local jails and make sure somebody matching his description didn't end up tossed in a drunk tank."

You shrug. "Yeah, alright. Weird that he would come here drunk and then leave again."

"Wasn't drunk when he got here, apparently. Probably just looking for more Booze."

Ari looks up vaguely concerned "Does... does he have a drinking problem?"

"Not really," you answer "But occasionally something will get under his skin and he'll go on a bit of a bender. We'll worry about it if he isn't back by tonight."

She seems slightly reassured by this.

>Next topic:

[ ] Jobs.
[ ] Date.
[ ] Cass.

>>18811819
Cass and then we can move on to something more light hearted.

[x] Date.

Go a head and get this outa the way then we can move on to Cass.

>[x] Cass.

[x] Crazy Ivan

/troll

>>18811819
Date, keep the conversation light hearted and non-threatening, let Cass get comfortable around us before we start questioning her.

[x]Jobs. Cass is Dave's problem, let him deal with her. I was already told to step down on the paranoia so I'm throwing it away.
Besides, getting the AC totalled must've put a big chunk away from our pay from the last job.
>And trying to be big damn stupid heroes may have made us look stupid and reckless in Berlioz's eyes.
>Not sure about Anjou. She might be wet over it all.

>>18811861
The damage was paid for actually. It was in the job description.

>>18811819
Cass.

>>18811861
She's our problem, too. We're a team, and as such we need to make Laurie's problem our problem, too.

>>18811861
Nope, they said all expenses paid, they're footing the bill for repairs, they also are paying the full 500k and Berlioz might be able to wrangle a bonus out of them, he said he would if we were the ones to take down the experimental AC.

We're cool on dosh for a little while.

[ ] Date.

And come one, AC-Guy, give us another chance to help Laurie out.

>>18811890
Actually thats a good point we never did ask our team how much the job paid.

>>18811890
... I was not aware of these things. Never mind then.
My choice stays, though. Yes, we share our problems, but lately it seems everyone with a problem is going all quiet about it.
I don't think we're going to ingratiate ourselves with this girl that only knew OF us (and even then only knew of Dave) by hovering over her.

At least, for now. I think Dave has the best chance of getting any info from her, too.

>>18811958

Mean to say come on. Derp

>Awaiting consensus....

>>18811958

>You will get a chance to talk to him later.

>You are currently reaping what you sow.

>>18811999
Date

>>18811999
aw shit

Anyway, Cass

>>18812010
Roll you for it?

[X] Date

Cass is probably better dealt with in private.

>>18811819
[x] Cass.
We said we'd deal with this in the morning, and it's now morning.

>Can somebody flip a coin or something?

>So I know where to go from here?

rolled 2 = 2

>>18812108

>>18812108
I'll vote Date if it helps break it.

rolled 1 = 1

1 Date
2 Cass

>>18812113
Go with his, he was first.

>>18812113

>Alright then.

>I gotta go get dinner, then I'll type this up.

Rape that dinner, AC Guy. Rape it so hard there's nothing left. And do it quickly.

Also, is there usually this much difficulty reaching consensus in quest threads? This is the first quest with good enough writing and an interesting enough topic to make me check it out.

>>18812173
We're actually usually quite good about concensus its just we don't know how to deal with Cass. Have you checked the previous threads?

>>18812173
It... varies. Some times consensus is easy, sometimes, not.

>>18812173
This quest usually gets consensus quickly. Others, like Strike Witches Quest...

...don't.

>>18812187

Yeah, I've been following this. I've just not been voting 'cos it's usually posted around one in the smurfing morning.

>>18812201
>Planefag gives a fuck about consensus
Choo Choo motherfucker

>>18812201
Oh I love decision time in SWQ.
>some of this
>some of that
>HEY GUYS I JUST GOT THIS RETARDED IDEA

>HEY, I JUST GOT THIS PRETTY GREAT IDEA
>people start agreeing with it
>Planefag has finished his post by now
>posts what he was working on
>people moan and groan
I gotta side with Planefag on this one. If he had to completely rewrite his post every time a new consensus was reached, he'd never get anywhere.

>>18812246
Why not oh I don't know roll a die? I mean this is tg thats the classic way to solve an arguement here.

>>18812262
Planefag doesn't want the dice gods to take the audiences tears from him.

>>18812262
Heck if I know, I guess that's just how he rolls. Maybe he knows how much the dice script dislikes /tg/.

>>18812262
Because then any stupid or trollish idea will get picked over an idea that people actually agree with.
Rolling dice to determine consequences is fine, but using them to choose actions?

>>18812309
No I mean between two or more conflicting ideas after its gone on for a while. Basically after ten minutes say that you're gonna roll a die in another five if there is no consensus reached between (and here you list the choices with the most votes) you'll roll for it.

>>18812350
That's valid if there's no consensus after much discussion.
But the post you linked to was talking about how a consensus would emerge, Planefag would begin writing, and in the middle of his writing, the first consensus would collapse in favor of a second consensus.
A completely different problem from the one you describe.

>>18812378
Ah my mistake then.

"So Cass," you say as you watch her take the last waffle from the stack. "I was hoping you could tell us how to get in contact with your mom...."

"I don't know.... she just said she'd find me."

"If I may?" Dave interrupts "Molly and I had a way of passing messages around. Might be a way I can get in touch with her."

You nod. "Might want to get on that, way too many unknowns already, especially since we've already got problems of our own to deal with."

"Alright," he says, as him and Ari take their plates to the sink "I'll get on that now."

Ari takes Elsie to go hit the sims, and Cass goes with Dave.

You go to browse the jobs board, see what there is available.

You are Lawrence Brenner.

And you've made a mistake. You think you have anyway, but you're not sure. You do know you'd like to take it back and give it a bit more thought.

You're back where you lost it. You think. Your memory's hazy with the hangover, and all the buildings look different in the daylight.

You're looking around the empty lot, looking at how the sands around here seem to have shifted a bit with the wind. Maybe? You aren't sure. Maybe this is the wrong place.

You feel weird not having it. You feel terrible for trying to be rid of it.

Slowly you sink to your knees. You would cry, but you hardly seem worth the effort right now.

>>18812515
We gonna go to the arena now yeah?

>>18812547
Aw, shit.

>>18812547
That man needs a hug.

>>18812550
If we do I'll need to work on my Ultimate Warrior rants.
>>18812547
Oh gott.
I feel terrible now.

>>18812547
...damn

>>18812557
A very manly hug. He might consider a comforting hug iffy or offensive.
>>18812550
It's a possibility, though I tend to prefer non-arena jobs, you get to salvage whatever you kill for one.

>>18812547

Well, he ain't gonna be happy, but he can still be useful, and /maybe/ we can use how fucking miserable he is.

Pity. I'd have liked to see how he was when he wasn't a miserable cunt, but something tells me that path is closed now.

>>18812550
I'd say yes, unless one of the others looks particularly alluring.

>>18812578
We've done the [Bounty Hunt] and [Corp Shenanigans] job types, though. We need to complete the trifecta.

>>18812515

Looking over the board, you see a couple of decent options. Apparently some bandits recently hit a merchant convoy, and a price was put on them as a result. The offering's at 700k, but only if you get all five of them.

Omer's also asking somebody to sign up and look for one of their transport ships that crashed in he desert before someone loots it of valuables.

There's also some sort of Arena tournament for the next few days, apparently they're willing to wave the entry fee for you to bring in your team of three. Words been getting out apparently. Prizes for runner-ups aren't too bad, and the grand prize is almost three million.

>>18812600

>Forgot, but: Pick one.

>>18812600
Arena.

>>18812600
>Prizes for runner-ups aren't too bad, and the grand prize is almost three million.
Dign ding ding

>>18812600

It's time we hit the Arena. I doubt we'd run into Nine-Ball in a team tourney.

>>18812600
That 3 million purse is looking mighty tempting for the arena gig, but the bandit job sounds like a safe job. We might be able to win the tournament, but that's only if Nine-Ball doesn't enter.

You're tempting us. This is a trap somehow.
But that prize money is way too tempting.

Voting for Arena.

>>18812600
Yes! I've been waiting for this!!

>>18812600
Hmm, the merchant convoy is interesting but dealing with a large group is risky and if even one of them runs we don't get paid.

Omer is a possibility but we can't do that one if Laurie is being a drunk, we need recon for something like that.

Hell we haven't done the Arena yet, the entry fees are waived and it sounds fun. Us, Dave, Mooch is probably the best team we can muster, I'm not sure how useful Elsie sniping would be in an enclosed arena.

>>18812600
>transport ship crashed
Oho ho, tricky tricky. But I've played these games far too long to fall for this one.
This is an obvious "SUDDENLY AN ENEMY AC" mission. Heck, it's the classic way to introduce an AC ambush.

The bandits probably have at least one AC in reserve. I feel like it's happened before.

To the tournament.

>>18812600
Arena hands down man

>>18812600
Arena i really want to do this at least once.

>>18812600
The arena is too perfect, therefore it is a trap. The best way to get rid of a trap is to activate it and, survive and then murder-kill the ones who set it. So to the arena it is.
>I'm so smart.

>Arena

>Wherein we will most definitely encounter Nine-Ball
>If we even get that far

Let's rock and or fucking roll.

Feel free to ignore this AC-Guy, but do we have any real idea about what the general population knows about the destruction of Hope and how they are reacting to it?

>>18812696
oh also a vote for arena, not that any more are needed.

Yeah, it's looking like Arena, but one question.

Do we pay repair costs on our mechs for Arena damage? What about ammo etc.?

"Hey, who do you think is up for a go in the Arena? We're limited to a three man squad."

"Hmmm...." Elsie responds "I'd say you and Dave would be shoe ins.... Not sure about the third man though. Ari's rig is bit TOO kill-ey for a non-lethal set up, and I don't think she's got the experience needed for this. I'm good, but I'd be really out of my element. So Mooch or Laurie I'd guess. Laurie would be damn good if he keeps a clear head and has even a few seconds to prepare. Mooch on the other hand is a bit less predictable, but he's also got the skill and seems to thrive on changing conditions."

[ ] Mooch.
[ ] Laurie.
[ ] Decide later, ask their opinions.

>>18812725
[x]Later

Though I suspect Laurie might be down for letting off some steam safely.

>>18812696

>Some people know. It's not exactly well known yet, but news is spreading.

>>18812725
>[x] Laurie.
We need some guy time.

Ask their opinions. Laurie might be down to work out some frustration, and we really need some face time with him which we'd get an excuse for after, but we don't want to shoehorn him into having to fight if his head's not in the right place, both because it'll mean that he has to shake it off /again/ for the next fight, and because it's kind of a dick move.

>>18812725
Later, see where both are head space wise first.

>>18812725
Gotta get some opinions.

>>18812725
Decide later, ask their opinions.

I'll probably want to go for Mooch but a lot of the reasoning behind that is because Laurie's being unreliable right now.

>>18812725
>[x] Decide later, ask their opinions.
lets see if laurie wants a go in the arena if not we ask mooch.

>>18812744
Thanks, and I'm sorry if at a later point I make a probably terrible suggestion that people might get behind that would likely de-rail the quest.
also
>[X] Decide later, ask their opinions.

"I think I'd like to talk to them about it first. i mean, neither of them are exactly perfect: Mooch hasn't flow a lot recently, and Laurie's less of a direct combat guy anyway."

"I hear ya. Well, I'll let you know when Mooch is awake if you want to go see if you can find Laurie."

You glance up from your desk.

"No need, I can see him talking to one of the mechanics now."

As you approach them, you can hear the mechanic giving advice "... well a simple metal detector with a small electromagnet would be your best bet. And if you're retracing your steps that truck should have a GPS."

"Thanks Ken. Can you hook me up there?"

"I'll make a call or two. Shouldn't be a big deal, people lose so much shit in the sand here it's a bit of a booming business."

They notice you approach. "Hey Alex," Laurie begins. "What's up?"

>>18812903

(I know, I know, you pre-write the dialogue and want to fuck me with a shovel for even suggesting that, but it'd be pretty bro to cut short a joke at someone's expense to give 'em help.)

I assume that's supposed to be "fought" and autocorrection was fucking with you?

This is an excelent way to segway into dealing with his issues or at least show that we want to help him.

>>18812936

>That might have been a legit typo.

>>18812990
Fair enough. Either way makes sense, I suppose.

"What'd you lose?"

"Nothing too important. Just a thing with some sentimental value. But I think you had something else in mind when you came over here."

"Is this you dodging the question?"

"No, this is me telling you it's nothing to be concerned about. Now what's up, for real?"

[ ] Arena.
[ ] You look like hell.

>>18813021
You look like hell, we'll ask about the Arena once we get a better feel for his physical/mental state.

"Hey man, are you feeling alright?"

"Fine. Why?"

"Because you don't look fine. You look like you got your ass kicked by a bottle of whiskey."

"...."

"Jesus Laurie, I was joking. How much did you have to drink last night?"

".... Not nearly enough, if I'm perfectly honest. Mind being a little quieter? I didn't really get to bed last night, so I'm tired and a little hung over."

"Only if you agree to have a serious talk about this. I don't have much in the way of the moral high-ground, but drinking yourself into an early grave is something I need to get involved in."

"For the team?"

"As your friend."

".... yeah, alright. But later, alright? First I need to take a quick nap and sleep off the rest of this, and then I got something I need to take care of. THEN I'm all yours."

[ ] If you mean it, sure.
[ ] Nope, talk time now.

"If you actually mean that, then sure. But first something I need to bring up. I was seriously considering throwing our lot in to do the arena. Three man team. I'm thinking me, Dave, and then you or Mooch for our third. Thoughts?"

"I think Mooch is probably more skilled technically, but he's less of a 'team player'. Not really in a great shape to be talking tactics right now man."

"Alright, cool. I was gonna ask Mooch for his take later, take your time and think about it."

He nods and goes up to his bunk.

Talk to Ken, we're already right by him and we ought to see what we have available to buy.

[x] See if Cave's made any progress on contacting Molly.

Let the girls hang out for a bit. Might as well see if Dave is making any head way and needs our help. Our core is fine for now.

>[x] Talk to Ken about parts.
He's our mechanic, and a cool guy, we need to be friendly with him so we can rope him into whenever we get around to doing a guys' night.

And I just realized, Lawrence is recon, right? Does his core have any antennas other cores don't?

It's official, everything Dave says from this point onwards will be heard with Cave Johnson's voice in my mind.

Oh DAMNIT.

Dave's Ace Patch should involve combustible lemons (THAT BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!).

Talk to Dave, I suppose.

Though we really should get to know Ken. It's always nice to know the people who put your shit back together after it gets blown the fuck up.

>Been a while since that happened.

>>18813357
Sorry.
Won't fixate on it.

>>18813357
I find that far too funny, and am glad I didn't make a comment on it.

>>18813365

>Not your guy's fault.

>Not as bad as the 'face' thing at least. I can take comfort in that.

speaking of daves ace patch what should it be? for realzies? Does IRL Dave get to decide?

>>18813396

>I actually know what it is.

>I will post it when the time comes.

"So Ken, what've we got going in terms of parts?"

"About what's on the cores at the moment. It's all in good shape, but we don't have much in the way of variety at the moment. Why, you thinking about upgrading?"

"Maybe. We do have a little bit of money right now."

"Yeah. If you want I can look into some basic retro-fit packages for you, maybe even get some custom sets made later."

"Why not just build parts?"

"More efficient method of operating. Besides, while we CAM kitbash something together, it'll be HELL for anybody besides us to work on it. Plus this way if you lose an arm,we can get another arm off the shelf. I'm just Glad Mooch's core hasn't had any serious damage yet, because half of that thing is custom. Great for performance boosts, absolute hell for your support crew."

"So avoiding custom bits would help you repair it faster and better?"

"In theory. But honestly? If you need a custom bit, get it. Saving us a head-ache is not worth losing our star pilot."

"Star-pilot?"

"You didn't hear? Last mission put you at Ace. It's not OFFICIAL yet, but you can start thinking about a patch for your core."

"Wow. Thanks Ken."

"No prob. I need to get back to flushing the fluids on Dave's core. The magnetic gels help improve movement and reaction time, but he plays it so rough we need to repair them twice as often."

"Alright. Later Ken."

[ ] Check on Ari's training.
[ ] Check on Dave's progress.
[ ] Check to see if Mooch is awake.
>[x] rain check on the rest of this thread. I'll start the next one on time, where this ended, but I just had a migraine come on strong enough to make my vision blur. I'll put up another Crunch/general thread up early to make up for it. Sorry.

>But hey, streak's alive.

Fair enough dude, don't die on us.

>[x] Check on Ari's training.
And don't worry about it AC-Guy, we know you're human too, and migraines are a real bitch.
Have something adorable.

>>18813591
Dang, man. Take care.

>>18813591
Shit alright dude take care of your self.

Check on Ari's training.

Take better care of yourself man, migraines are serious suckage.

>>18813591
No worries. You've been doing this for what, 14? 15? days straight. We have no room to complain if you want to end a thread early.
Also migraines suck, try and get some rest.
