Kill the whores

File: 1346964107296.png-(656 KB, 1100x1800, 3.png)

The sight of two travelers coming out of the woodwork didn’t seem to faze the inhabitants of the domain, although in no way was the Shieffer estate any kind of town or village, the sight of the huge, fortified mansion was amazing in itself and for now, you and Tsukiyomi resolved to simply blend in amongst the peddlers, artisans, smiths and numerous soldiers mucking about, each of them actually humans in armors dealing with traveling merchants for commodities, they actually looked like mercenary which, to be frank, is incredibly odd given the fierce might of the men and woman you remember leading.

But it isn’t exactly that odd, the whole reason why the estate grew this little merchants quarter was due to all the business created by your uncle and his new wife, almost no permanent resident here beside the soldiers, merchants come and goes constantly, mercenaries looking for a juicy contracts (because the Shieffer offer excellent ones) men and even some woman of joy, troubadours… your family name is synonymous with military order, but not a religious or austere one.

Perhaps the biggest reason why the Shieffer soldiers are the best of the best may very well be because they have the opportunity to unwind.

Tsukiyomi was also being quite glamorous before you reached the area, going as far as actually taking the arm you offered for support and pressing herself against you, now there’s a small distance between the two of you that would make you look like traveling companions, for your clothes would certainly give that impression (you had to change out of any kind of regal kimono before leaving after all) and right now the two of you were taking refuge near the plaza leading to the mansion.

‘’It’s refreshing to stand here amongst the populace’’

In no way is Tsukiyomi painting the image of someone unused to the road, even lacking in the proper traveling backpack the simple clothing she was in gave her a strangely fitting look, much different from all the majestic clothes you’ve accustomed her with, she really did looked like some experienced traveler.

The lack of fluffy ears and tails however, will always stay a crime against nature.

You did notice some unusual peoples, some centaurs actually came into the area and not in paltry garments or armor: full form fitting plate grasping heavy and long lances, the kind of impression that leave a peasant baffled but your luck betrayed you this time because you only saw a glimpse of them from the back, impossible to see any identifications as they made their way to the mansion.

‘’It doesn’t seem like anybody recognize you…’’

The disguised monster at your side is resting her tailless back against the building; some kind of warehouse, the sun is almost completely out of view, with the sky turning a deep, dark blue.

‘’How do you wish to tackle this predicament?’’

Good question, would strolling through the front door saying ‘’I am Siegfried Shieffer!’’ be that good an idea? It’s not like you committed any crimes, but you are presumed dead.

Plenty of that later

They're lying to you. They all are. Why do you listen to them so? They are lying.

Goddammit, why do all the quests happen of Thursdays. ALL OF THEM AUGH.

Walking in the front door could be funny, but aren't we, iunno, being hunted by the church? Ah, say that we've got important news ABOUT the son of the house, presumed dead.

>>20623981

Front door is probably not a good idea but the family should know of some more discreet entrances known only to family and close friends.

Should seek those out. Though before that, perhaps head to the local tavern to hear the latest news. Soldiers drinking are notoriously loose-lipped.

It suffers

>>20623981
Maybe we should have tried to come as peddlers.

rolled 98 = 98

I have two questions before we move on.

"Tsukiyomi, how long can you maintain this illusion or transformation for?

As well, how long would take you to prepare that fast travel method you used to get us here, if we were to need it suddenly."


>>20624067
Agreed hitting up the a tavern. Maybe we can find out some extra stuff about what's going on.

>>20624067
That sounds good, catching up on gossip and rumors first to get a better idea of the situation.

>>20624067

The only non front entrance is the back, the mansion itself is walled in by a good 5 meters wall and everything is notoriously guarded, quite frankly you don't know anyway to etner without announcing your presence because, after all ,you never needed to sneak out or in the domain so you didn't bother to search for a loophole in the defence.

rolled 10 = 10

>>20624130
No secret entrance/exit for the mansion. For shame on the builder.

>>20624067
There's no reason to stay here longer than we need to. Stopping to gather information takes a long time, and I doubt anyone here has details about the church's battle plans. Let's just walk up to the gate and ask for directions to the person to talk to about the missing Shieffer.

>>20624164

Actually to go way back, that's how the founders of the family wanted it.

Die standing your ground, that kind of mentality.

>>20624130

Back entrance would be more secluded, yes? No reason to let word that the scion of the house is well and alive, for now.

Did we bring any identifier? Crest or something? Something that will at least get someone of note to the backdoor to see what is going on. That will reduce the impact of siggy suddenly appearing back from the dead, that servants dont run about waving their hands, screaming.

>>20624186

Don't need the battle plans. We need to know how our estate has changed. Who has assumed control since the line is now assumed extinct, any power struggle and what the intentions of its custodians, are.

>>20624268

You didn't wake with anything identifying you to your house beside your face, you do hwoever, have the Order of Xenon on you, for what's its worth anyway but having the eternal freindship of the noble house of Crosswalk might amount to something right?

And of coruse the back entrance is more secluded, a bit of a detour but won't catch the eye like the double metal doors of the front

>>20623981
Go for the back entrance then. I rather not announce ourselves if we can help it. Although I doubt we'll be able to sneak in...

How good if Siggy at freezing things? Could we potentially make our own hole inside?

rolled 89 = 89

>>20624324
So short of speaking to someone that would know Siegfried, he nothing to ID himself as such. Alright.

>>20624382
I wouldn't want to jump in focus. Nothing like pinging the Magic Radar if there's another magic users in the area.

>>20624382


Would take some serious work to break the wall, but it is possible if you don't mind any others mages finding you out.

So the consensus is to proceed to the tavern?

>>20624406
Yeah, but I imagine the rear door is guarded to a degree. And unless we want to go to the front door and pretend to be a guest of some kind or just say we're someone looking for whoever is currently in charge of the manor, we need to find a way to avoid people. Making our own holes inside the place would do that, assuming there are no other mages.

>>20624418

Perhaps not on making the hole in the wall.

Appearing at the backgate and having Tsukiyomi appear unveil herself, showing off the ring to the guards, requesting an audience with the mistress of the manor.

We can pose as a bodyguard until we meet face to face.

rolled 32 = 32

>>20624432
Assuming things is bad. Tends to get people killed from what I learned.

Better off seeing if we can't talk our way in. Maybe use that 'Order of Xenon' as way to get our self through the front door at the very least.

But I would like to go the tavern to get some info on stat of the area before go knocking on the front door.

>>20624471
You do remember Siggy was the butcher of monsters at one point? Do we really want to have Tsu reveal herself? Tavern might be best to hear what might be going on and then maybe we can make a cover story to get us inside before we resort to something like this.

Do you really want to risk that?

>>20624418
I am still for the tavern, though some still seem to want to go for the back door.

>>20624505

Not reveal herself as a yoko, per se. I had an image in my mind of her pulling back a traveller's cloak/hood. Somehow that didn't translate very well for my sleep-addled brain.

I really mean, just show herself to the back guards and implying her status as an emissary.

>>20624541
An emissary wouldn't go to the back door. Would be suspicious. Best to try the front door if we want to go with that plan.

>>20624549

Not if you want it to be kept quiet.

It happens. A lot.

>>20624549
That was my suggestion. Walk up to the front door and say that we have information about the missing heir.

Too bad I wasn't here for the last thread, I thought of some great one-liners about consuming corruption and consuming... other things. Like Tsukiyomi.

rolled 32 = 32

>>20624549
Eh, it could depend of type of dealings. Ones that our bad in back alleys would deal through the back door. Secret Alliances, evil plans to over throw the King, etc.

But still don't like the idea. Get caught in lie because we don't know what's going on in the area. It's been what a week? Lot can change.

No clear idea spring to mind as you look into the closed gates of your home, four armored woman standing lazily around the entrance and nobody daring to bother them, Tsukiyomi is looking as well with a severe expression, there’s two questions you have to ask the camouflaged Youko before proceeding.

"Tsukiyomi, how long can you maintain this illusion or transformation for?’’

Blinking out of her reverie, the queen-mother offers you a gentle smile and faces you properly.

‘’I will start to feel some discomfort after two days, however if we were to enter a confrontation and I would need to act, I’m afraid the illusion will break and without my daughter, I won’t be able to camouflage myself anymore’’

You don’t feel any kind of magic whatsoever emanating from her, the illusion is really perfect as far as you’re concerned, and you didn’t come here with the intention of assaulting anyone however you can’t be too prudent either.

On to the next question

‘’How long would take you to prepare that fast travel method you used to get us here, if we were to need it suddenly."

You ask in a low voice, approaching the smaller woman as well to make sure nobody would overhear, but you just wanted to get closer.

Her smile stays true, if a bit mischievous

‘’I can only do it at night’’

She stops, locking your eyes with her tired gaze.

‘’I can… brute force it if need be and we will need only a few seconds, but a proper portal will take around five minutes’’

The idea of her brute forcing it like she put it after that coughing fit is probably the worst option you can think of.

‘’Let’s go to the tavern, to get a lay of the land’’

With a smile that tugs your heartstring, the blond woman simply locks her hand with yours and follows your lead.
>cont

File: 1346967269792.jpg-(339 KB, 1600x1122, 1341333909411.jpg)

It’s rare to find a place with more men than women; the tavern is big and lively in the hours of the evening, you and Tsukiyomi took around half an hour to get some news and this was the result

The civil war ended after the king stormed the stronghold of the rebels and personally hacked off the heads of the leaders, it’s the big talk everywhere country wide, but there’s also something much more interesting for your predicament: the king is currently residing in the Shieffer mansion, for what purpose? Rumors for answers, but the proof of his presence lie in the detachments of centaurs and dragoons along the royal guards.

Nothing concerning Mylen, your heart is thumping fiercely however.

Your brother, King Gil Rosario, is actually here.

The man you have never seen before in your life, which you swore undying loyalty when you became the head of your family, and most of all, your elder brother, is here in the estate.

Tsukiyomi squeezing hand is the sole reason why you aren’t shaking in anticipation.

Egads. This is a big spanner in the works.

Very glad we didn't just walk up to the gates.

>>20624785
... If the King is here, either Mylen is in big trouble or being well rewarded for something. I don't know if we CAN sneak in at this point. It might be best to just tell the guards we have news about the head of the Shieffer family and meet big brother.

Hey yo. Let's not go the back door. Now how to get in. Fake our way through it? Order of Xenon? Ugh.

>>20624831

I'm not sure thats a good idea.

The kingdom is bound to march on zipangu with the rest of the coalition. What would siggy do if the king tried to assert to oath of loyalty?

>>20624870
No guarantee they're marching with the Church. Especially after a civil war. There's no way we can sneak in either. Security will be extra tight with the King there and if Mylen is in trouble, she will be under guard.

rolled 8 = 8

>>20624870
But might be a chance to simply talk him out of it. After all the kingdom just finished a civil war. What shape are they in to go out attack another country. Even in a coalition. Not to mention how long the levies have been raised. The army might just revolt at the idea.

>>20624785

Ultimately, we need more information on exactly what the king is doing here.

To do that, we can either force/drink it out of someone or find a trusted retainer whom we can speak to.

Activating our focus is now not an option. No king would travel without mage escort.

Would advocate looking for a trusted retainer. Besides Mylene, there should be some servants that we know very well due to long association, maids, guards or such?

Siggy should know some of their habits and likely places they tend to. We can move to those areas and wait/look for the persons in question. We can then find out more about the situation or have them arrange for mylene to meet us in confidence.

>>20624870
Dive through the portal. Binding oaths, unless magical in nature, can't *actually* compel you to act a certain way. Since Siggy's playing for the other team now (if you... know what I mean), the oath wouldn't mean anything to him.

Also holy crap, good call tavern people. If the king is in residence though, there should be a lot more guards/camp followers/people around.

File: 1346968072824.jpg-(235 KB, 850x1133, 28.jpg)

>>20624917

Probably.

Still, how do you guys wish to proceed? Maybe ask Tsu for some input? Find a secluded place to talk with the angel?

rolled 44 = 44

>>20624921
That's if he remembers them that well.

He's having a hard time with Mylen. What do you think his state is with maids and guards?

>>20624917
I will *laugh* if the king is in fact female.

>>20624939
Hmm... unless Hadraniel has a magical "slip through castle walls undetected without using Focus" power she isn't going to be helpful here I'm afraid. Save the angel for the extraction, like s good Shadowrunner. It might be a good idea to pretend that we're delivering messages. Anyone we know likely to be in the royal court in residence? Say that we're delivering messages, refuse an escort, find Mylen and get out.

>>20624939
Quiet place. Let's get Tsu's and Hadraniel's input on this matter before we make an action. Maybe Tsu will want to talk to Siggy's brother.

>>20624921

Ah yes people Siggy knew...

To be frank, beside the maids, all the soldiers you remembers are dead, the maids also tend to get out of the mansion once a week for supplies, there isn't a whole lot of outside interference with the people in training and you were quite antisocial in the past, beside keeping a close relation with your mother, bodyguard, uncle, the only other people you remember that would still be alive is the wife of Gismore

>>20624990
And she be inside the mansion. I wonder if we use that angle at all.

>>20624990
Aaaand we're back at the point where we might as well throw open the front gate and burst in yelling: It's Siegfried time!

>>20624990

Not sure if someone of that status gets out of the mansion much. Does she, INH?

The most reasonable course of action seems to be masquerading as a covert messenger for mylene, using the ring.

Front gate would be heavily guarded with the king's men as well. Looks like the only option to avoid too much attention would be the back.

And yes, lets hear Tsu's opinion on it.

If such is your wish, I will provide, I do admit I'm making this hard but Siggy really didn't gave two shit about people that weren't soldiers or close family/bodyguard

>>20625090
Have us get Tsu's input for now. I personally think we should just go in and reveal who we are and have a heart to heart with big bro. Posing as a messenger for Mylen could be bad if she's in trouble. And it might not be a bad idea to tell Siggy's brother that he's still alive.

rolled 73 = 73

>>20625078
But with the king here going back way might draw more attention than the front is my thinking.

For shame.

>>20625090
Yeah. That's what I figured was the deal with Siegfried.
Just a thought why not pose as a messenger for Gismores wife? It wouldn't be uncommon I would think for her to get messages from time to time. As >>20625114 put if Mylen is in trouble it would be a bad idea to pose as one for her.

I actually think this is an opportunity to help the monsters. We don't know if they are going to war alongside the Church, but we might be able to convince his brother to not join the crusade.

>>20625090
>>20625064
What the hell why not. It's been I don't know how long since the last Papa-N thread, this is A monstergirl thread and we're far below our HUE quota.

Perhaps we could use the Order of Xenon to pretend to be a courtier of Crosswalk:

Good idea. We can also play it that the message is to be given directly from ourselves.

File: 1346970110237.jpg-(28 KB, 450x600, 7.jpg)

‘’I…I’m not sure how to proceed, we could go to the back entrance and announce, or devise some kind of plot, but I’d like your input, Tsukiyomi’’

A wave of emotion come from the sword, something warm and strong, Hadraniel empathy settle your shaken heart.

Her face harden, her arm cross as she lock you in the eyes once more, sitting across you from the table is Tsukiyomi the ruler, not Tsukiyomi the lover.

‘’I am a ruler right down to my soul, Siegfried’’

She start, imperious and so very strong, nothing to envy the austere hero that gave you quite the speech earlier today, and now you realize that your previous thought was completely wrong: Tsukiyomi is merely a leader in love with you.

‘’And a ruler doesn’t concern himself with business unrelated to him, I am… uncertain of how things work, but if you were to announce yourself clearly, I think we, or you, will have to deal with the head of the house’’

That would me Maritha, your aunt.

‘’But I will make sure to be extra careful, the queen-mother of the land of free willed monster meeting the Man of the North would be… perhaps more dramatic than needed.’’

So in the end, Tsukiyomi doesn’t see much risk in openly announcing yourself.

>>20625288
I still think we should just bust in there with who we are. Best way to get news and we'll potentially have some pull. Maybe we'll even be able to recover Siggy's mask.

Going as a messenger limits what we can do.

>>20625288
Messenger service it is! Worst comes to worst we claim sekrit bisnez, but we go in through the front as someone else.

I would suggest a small detour to find out more about Dearest Brother who we've never seen face to face, particularly as to his feelings re: the monstergirl situation. If he's not a raging speciesist, we talk to him (with Tsukiyomi holding the portal open).

rolled 55 = 55

Thought. Has anyone even given sightliest of chances that the King Gil Rosario is you know happy Siegfried is dead? The one person that could lay claim to his throne gone. It would do world of wonder to persons mind.

Then suddenly "Hey I'm back."

(I really don't image the old king not telling his son about his half-brother)

>>20625359
I don't think Siggy had much of a political power-base even prior to his amnesia and as a bastard his claim to the throne would be heavily disputable at best so he's not much of a threat to the king.

>>20625338

You have no real idea who he is, jsut second guess from the people present during his various public speech.

HOWEVER

One of the big reasons most of the noble joined Ferdinand cause in the civil war (at least what they kept saying) was that King Gil Rosario lover was actually a monster, that's what the people in the tavern are saying now amongst politic and discussion of how harsh the winter was.

>>20625405

‘’We will mascaraed as messengers from the lord of Crosswalk, I think that….’’

And so you explain your plan to the Youko who doesn’t take objection to it, lack of proper information and most of all the presence of the king, your brother, mean you have to take it slow and try not to involve yourself with him: your objective is Mylen.

--

Lamps are lighted as peoples come and goes, two set of the items are neatly placed near the front door where the squad of women are sitting, but your approaching form prompt them all to get up and face you with the seriousness of soldiers, refreshing compared to the gate guards of the cat folk city.

‘’From the house of Xenon, ruler of Crosswalk, we both come with an urgent message for the ears of the head of the Shieffer Family, Maritha’’

You take out the regal ring; such a thing actually helped you…

Tsukiyomi stand at your side, perhaps a bit too close for work buddies but the women your facing all look to you, then the ring, two of them frowning, one shrugging and the last one giving you a salute as she strike her armor.

‘’Follow me, the mistress has been busy, but the ring is authentic’’

How can a mere gate guard know that?

Still, you enter and follow her lead, the sight of the mansion strike you with some serious nostalgia while Tsukiyomi stroll in like she own the place, the lack of swishing tails however, greatly reduce her grace.

>cont

--

You saw the royal guards, mostly centaur, galloping in the large empty, fortified field of the mansion along with soldiers practicing night operation while making your way, and again you were stricken with heavy nostalgia, this really feel like home and now that you wait in the guest house (an auxiliary building of the mansion), you have been left alone with Tsukiyomi for another half an hour, with the Youko staying completely silent, looking from the window with an expression that seemed almost sad?

At least she frowned a few time.

But before you can ask, the door to the room is knocked upon and soon opened, a man in armor greet you before making way for a woman in short brown hair but formal clothing who, once she see you, freeze for a brief moment before waving the escort away.

She seems to be around Tsukiyomi age, if physical manifestations are to be taken literally.

‘’Where the hell have you been?’’

You didn’t interact much with you aunt, Maritha, so it’s fair to assume she is a total stranger

"Wandering for a while. Then helping people who saved my life. I was found in a field, surrounded by dead people and with amnesia. Not entirely my fault I've been gone for so long."
Better not say you were with monsters, but your explanation only deepens her grimace, she seems tired, a bit overworked.
Her gaze fly to Tsu when the Youko walk beside you, but she doesn’t seem to mind, at least nothing vocal, but the excuse of amnesia… well it’s the truth, but it doesn’t seem like she’s buying it.

‘’I was… busy, too much to send a message, I’m sorry for that’’

You were also scared, in a way the fact that you are presumed dead for everyone in your homeland freed you of your obligations, but now?
Best not to finish that thought.

‘’You weren’t the kind of kid to forget his duty, my husband respected you greatly and in his memory, I will accept your explanation’’

Phew she doesn’t seem hostile, but very tense; you didn’t even have time to relax when she picks up, taking a step close and eyeing Tsukiyomi a second time, your lover staying completely silent.

‘’Your family need you, Siegfried’’

Ugh, that statement just stabbed you in the heart, but Hadraniel silent empathy manages to keep your face neutral. Maritha cross her arms and walk back and forth, her gaze and overall stature is… intense.

‘’If we are to speak, then let’s do so alone, I do not know why you are here but I am uncertain if letting you go is an option now’’

Unrelenting, this woman is scary and doesn’t seem to like her newfound power as the head of the Shieffer.

"It's thanks to this woman that I've been able to return after what happened to me. She doesn't deserve to be chased off and I rather speak with her here. What's happened since I've disappeared? Where's Mylen?"

This. Tsu stays; see if our aunt will tell where Mylen is and what's going on.

"It's thanks to this woman that I've been able to return after what happened to me. She doesn't deserve to be chased off and I rather speak with her here. What's happened since I've disappeared? Where's Mylen?"

You cut back, squaring off with your gaze against your aunt, Tsukiyomi opt to staying silent while looking at the exchange but her pride seem wounded, beside her clenched jaw she isn’t letting any emotions leaks.

‘’Fine, but I won’t discuss sensitive matters’’

A hostile look to Tsu, met with indifference.

‘’The civil war ended, the catastrophic blow had us out of the war after your disappearance but we weren’t needed, the King too care of everything’’

She stops, sight and finally take a seat on one of the many chairs, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

‘’Your bodyguard is in quarantine, she’s the reason why I asked for the King.’’

What? You don’t need to ask to press for more information and, your aunt previously angry face fall, looking genuinely sad.

‘’She’s corrupted, or at least soon to be’’

>>20626435
"What happened to her? No. That can wait. Let me see her now. Please."

>>20626435
Let me talk to her, I can help. Part of the reason that I stayed away has to do with that and... other things.

"What happened to her?’’

You blurt out too fast to catch yourself, your aunt simply shrug.

‘’I know there was something very wrong with you not sooner than last month, but your late mother and her kept a tight lip around it, only around two weeks ago, your bodyguard was found here on the premise, corrupted and bedridden while your mother set out with a detachment of our finest men’’

Damn your family for not talking with each other’s!

There’s only one thing to say now however, the woman you remembered, the woman you remembered is alive but in quite the predicament.

‘’Let me talk to her, I can help. Part of the reason that I stayed away has to do with that and... other things.’’

Then after a few seconds you add.

‘’Please’’

Goes as far as bowing your head to your aunt, her expression remain steadfast when you look to her again, the silence is long and heavy with Tsukiyomi walking to your side, and her golden glare on Maritha, the woman is silent and almost dead during her musing.

‘’She’s the reason you came back I see’’

At this point you only nod, lying here would be insulting.

‘’The King Chaplain is here, I think it’s safer to leave that business in his hands’’

She stands, scratching the top of her head and giving you another glare.

‘’I don’t think seeing you would be a good idea, even I know you had an intimate relation with her’’

…

Tsu seem ready to talk, for she almost take a step forward but her gaze is now on yours, waiting for permission, the queen-mother is willing to actually wait for you, after all you are in your homeland.

>>20626650
"I've learnt things while I've been away though. Depending on things, perhaps I might be able to help her. Even if I cannot, if she's going to be gone soon, I should have a chance to speak to her at least. Please. I've already lost my mother without having a chance to say anything to her."

>>20626650
As much fun as it would be to let Tsukiyomi tear into her, we'd best handle this ourselves.

(sarcastically) "Oh, the church is involved! They'll certainly be able to help--Not. I have a better idea. You tell me where Mylen is, I go remove the corruption from her, and you bring whatever complicated problem you want me to deal to where she is, so that the second I finish the problem that can be easily fixed you can get me caught up in the one that's going to be complicated. How does that sound, dear aunt?"

"Like I said, tell me where she is; I can eliminate the corruption in her.

>>20626650

>goddamn dat pic...Tamamo is adorable

I say give Tsu permission to talk. Diplomacy is her specialty:she obviously wants to say something and so far Siggy's batting .000 with Aunt Maritha.

I trust Tsu.

>Mylen is corrupted

As much as this worries me, I think the chances of her coming back with Siggy just went up.

>>20626650
We can heal corruption, normal healers cannot - Mention the Crossroad Incident, and how we got the ring/seal thing.

rolled 96 = 96

>>20626650
Simply shake our head no at Tsu. This seems more of family thing than anything. Understand her want to speak but not something from Maritha point view would agree upon.

Ask her for one chance to speak with Mylen even if it's a goodbye of sorts. Then we can see what we can do for her. If eating that corruption will help her truly or not.

Let's not tell them we can eat corruption when there might be church agents around.

>>20626751
We're the only ones in the room. We could care less if the church knows we're here because we're leaving with Tsukiyomi and maybe Mylen as soon as night falls anyway. In fact the church thinking we're here could be funny, since they'll have to send people down here, which will mean they're not in Zipangu.

>>20626765
I don't care if the Church knows we are here. I just don't want information on Siggy's ability being spread so easily.

>>20626811
Agreed. No point in telling until we really have to.

As much fun as it would to give the church the run around.

File: 1346979033065.jpg-(1.02 MB, 1672x2344, 1335555659495.jpg)

You sit down yourself, facing your aunt with your own steel gaze, you feel a very heavy ripple of frustration and anger traveling in your body, even Hadraniel constant ministration don’t help, your aunt coldness is pissing you off, big time and Tsu actually look confused, but right now you’re going to talk, and perhaps be a bit vulgar.

"Oh, the church is involved! They'll certainly be able to help--Not.’’

The sarcasm is dripping, you smile bitterly, no sadistic, as the newly found confusion settle in Maritha.

It almost makes you laugh.

‘’I have a better idea. You tell me where Mylen is, me and my partner will ascertain the proper actions, I have given no information upon the woman at my side but I swear upon the Shieffer name that she know more about corruption than whatever priest was requested by you, I may no longer be the head of the family but Mylen state is my business, dear aunt, and I WILL involve myself’’

The silence after your pause is quite thick, your sarcasm probably insulted her but right now you don’t give a damn, as far as you’re concerned having the church around a corrupted human is a recipe for disaster.

‘’Whatever problem you need me for could be fixed after’’

However, Maritha step forward and point at you with her index.

‘’My problem is simple: get back to your duties, son of Mana and heir of Gismore.’’

>back in 20 minutes

>>20626945
We can discuss that after. The longer we take, the less chance Mylen can be helped. And if Mylen becomes corrupted because you refused to let me see her..."

>>20626945
"Duties later, life-saving now."

>>20626964

This. We need to see Mylen; Siggy can probably save her.

>>20626945
"I have a duty alright, to save the life of someone who protected mine for so long."

>>20626945
(sigh heavily) "Of course that's what this is about. If that's the problem then it can certainly wait until after I've done what I can for Mylen. I won't be any more the head after I've seen to her than I am now. I'm going to need time to tidy up some, ah, complications. A month, say?"

"Of course that's what this is about. If that's the problem then it can certainly wait until after I've done what I can for Mylen.’’

You say, adding a sigh, your annoyance managed to slip out, now there’s only a brief fatigue, you don’t remember your aunt being so difficult but she also look tired.

Nevertheless, helping your bodyguard come first, but you don’t have to forget the house that cared for you during your youth, even if it placed a heavy burden upon your shoulders.

‘’It’s also my duty’’

You say, getting out of the chair and approaching your aunt, replacing your hostility with a more serene emotion, something… that your old self might have had, maybe.

‘’ Any hint of corruption or taint on the house of Shieffer brings with it the church and their agents. Mother openly denied their agents and they will not hesitate to persecute us in this perceived time of our weakness and they do not forget their grudges easily.’’

A certain burned woman certainly showed that to you, your mother wasn’t an enemy but there was a serious animosity between her and the organization, and now the chaplain of the king is here, tending to Mylen…

‘’I need to do this. Not just for myself but for our honored house as well."

The Shieffer needs to be strong, and right now with two head of the family being publically declared dead in as short a moment as 3 years, your… ancient home is standing on one leg, battered and bruised.

Not long after your speech, Maritha let out one, long sigh while Tsu briefly tap you on the shoulder, before sliding her hand to the back of your neck and squeezing, almost prompting you to grunt at the maternal touch.

‘’Even so, I already know that you won’t stay here, you’re my nephew, I can see it in your eyes’’

Now that’s a change in tone you weren’t expecting, but it seem she has given up and form that, a tired and worried woman is who you see instead of an hostile one. But, is this place your true home, or is the castle of Ame-no-Uzume your true place of residence?

This is a choice you truly have to make on your own.

‘’Mylen has been quarantined at the top of the infirmary, here I’ll have you guided there, just ask Matthew at the door and he will provide. The Chaplain is yours to convince however.

Any words for your aunt?

>>20627398
"I'm sorry for my tone. I can't stay at the moment. I have something I have to take care of in the next month. Something that could result in my death if I don't and bring harm onto our house."

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Any more and we'd be trying to make excuses.

>>20627413

>>20627398
"I'm sorry for my impertinence, and to be leaving so quickly after arriving. But I have made debts that I must repay, obligations that must be honored. I hope that they will be fulfilled in a month's time, then I'll try to come back here again.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry.’’

Your aunt giggles and waves you off, gone is the hostile woman that was almost lashing out at you.

But even if she’s certain you won’t stay, you aren’t so sure.

Tsukiyomi hand slither to yours and grab it, she didn’t let you see her emotions, but that hand didn’t let go of yours until you reached your destination, walking with one of the soldier in the armor you remember, seeing some centaurs galloping with lamps but you also saw a child, a small girl proceeding in the corridors of the mansion.

Who… was she?

--

Very few words were exchanged between you and your lover, both of your minds now set to business, you climbed to the tops with the stairs and almost collided with an elderly man in white and golden robe with a silly, big hat. He had clearly seen his number of winters but he looked stout and ready to live for a good 50 more years despite the gray hairs and wrinkled skin, his presence was the only thing you’ve seen in the infirmary: the top part has been transformed into something of a warehouse now, it has been completely useless for a long time and nobody liked to be up here, many rumors of ghosts, parallels worlds and damned objects have been spread by the maids.

‘’I wasn’t informed that I would have visitor’’

His voice, even if cracking, is deep and powerful.

He gives you a sense of déjà vue, could it be that you’ve seen him before?

‘’Were here to investigate the corrupted one’’

Tsukiyomi step in and of course his rebuttal.

‘’And you are?’’

However, behind him, you can feel the corruption, the beast sniff and crawl, ready for a long awaited snack.

>>20627738
"No one you would have heard of. But I've been an acquaintance of purifiers before and know some things about corrupted individuals. I should be able to assist in this situation if you leave me to work."

>>20627834
Nice call.

>>20627738
"Sorry, I'm here to visit the patient, not the doctor. I have a message for her, from a friend. It's very private, and personal. Would you mind leaving us alone with Mylen for... five minutes? I can swear to you that lady Maritha knows I am here and that no harm will come to either myself or the patient."

If he asks what healed her we say it was the power of love. It works in the fairy tales, it works in The Witcher, so that's the only convincing I need to know that it's a believable excuse!

Oh, and make sure Tsukiyomi doesn't have her corruption siphoned as well. Would be awful to come so far only for the disguise to collapse HERE.

>>20627860

"The healer of the lady of crosswalk, she is my aide’’

The side glance the vulpine monster give you almost make you smile.

Almost.

The man doesn’t budge, but your words certainly caught his attention, thus you go on.

‘’I'm here to visit the patient, not the doctor. I have a message fo-‘’

However, the man holds up his palm to interrupt your speech, his expression grave.

‘’So you are the man Leila describe in her letter, It’s good to finally meet you, but I’m afraid the case of this lady is quite troublesome, perhaps she’s gone it’s… hard to make sense’’

The bulky elder move from the door and for a moment you dread stepping there, but at least he seem like an ally instead of a potential obstacle, that’s heartening, but Tsu isn’t as quick as you are to trust him.

‘’She’s been unresponsive and prevented me from casting my magic, for what reason? I do not know, but this one hasn’t fallen to lust despite the changes, the corruption plagued is not something any common agent of the Dark Lord would wield, the only thing keeping her together is her will’’

Dammit Mylen…

‘’I’ll have no choice but to mark her for death, I can’t slow the progress of the toxins, nor even identify if she’s overcame’’

At the end of the corridor, you spot a squad of people, 5 men in heavy armor and equally heavy weapons huddled together around a table, not making a damn noise despite the squeaking of the plate, each looking at your exchange with the chaplain, you didn’t even notice them and given by the tightening fist of Tsu, neither did she.

>>20628147
"If you've already marked her for death, than you have no problem giving me a chance to look at her. Leila felt the same about the Lady of the Crosswalk, however, I managed to help her. You have nothing to lose by giving me a chance."

>>20628147

"If you've already marked her for death, than you have no problem giving me a chance to look at her. Leila felt the same about the Lady of the Crosswalk; however, I managed to help her. You have nothing to lose by giving me a chance."

Your words provoke a nod, the regal clothed man face is stern but his blessing is given regardless with a brief hand gesture.

‘’I trust the young Leila, she has both talent and a good heart, but I cannot guarantee your safety. Be strong young man.’’

It’s good to see that not all men of faith are unreasonable.

Tsukiyomi is the first one to open the door, taking point the camouflaged Youko squint at the darkness of the large, large room of the infirmary made to accommodate around 20 men, you can barely even see her silhouette as she step inside, her form all but eaten by the dark of the room, barely kept at bay by the lantern of the chaplain, the elder face is closed as his mouth move in prayers.

You follow suit, undaunted and close the door behind you, for your business with your bodyguard is private.

Various shadow of furniture’s adorn the inside of the room, but only a single window allow you to see outside, the moon is a beautiful, brilliant crescent amidst the bright stars of the night sky you’ve grown to love after a certain night with a hero, her blade is glowing a pale and beautiful white, slightly emitting outside the scabbard, allowing you to see your own body.

Mylen is very easily noticeable.

Your tall and more than fair haired bodyguard is sitting under the moonlight, table and chair moved right next to the window as, despite the interference of a man and a woman, she continue to long downward, to the long field illuminated by torch and lamp with the busy body of training men and woman.

Mylen always had a strange, obscure, if not gothic charm that would only accentuate in the darkness, just like now, the long set of hair cascading along her back to touch the floor, her formal clothe ready for battle, her closed eyes betraying an expression of utmost boredom.

But the double set of pure, jet black leathery wings spreading from her back make you forget your breathe, even your vulpine lover escape your mind, those magnificent wings rivals Hadraniel in glory, possessing a much more unique charm to them that make the tip of your fingers tingles.

And then the bodyguard open her eyes, the blood red pupils were glowing, leaving imprint of crimson amongst the light of the moon, images after images, incessant born from a simple movement, it’s almost dizzying.

Even the beast seem taken aback, for the corruption leaking from the maiden would have it screaming, tearing and cry to sate itself

‘’Nay, not an hallucination, not with a stranger’’

She simply gives you a look of indifference as those shining, corrupted eyes fly from Tsukiyomi to you a few times.

‘’For my charge to end my life, yes I think I can accept that…’’

A small, derisive laugh as she shift, her position becoming more relaxed, resting her hand upon her palm.

‘’I do not wish to be a wanton slut, but to end my life in savagery is more than acceptable, would you humor your older sister, little prince?’’

Hmm i'll see about those cliffhanger then, but its hard not to do it.

Under my boot

>>20629011
That's speculation at best, we don't know if the creature can be released from him and if yes, how. Besides, the prospect of bad shit happening hasn't stopped Siggy from helping others so far.

No way around it, we're removing her corruption. Not eating that black stuff isn't even an option.

>>20629081
Agreed. And this thing eats corruption and holy, and we know it's corrupted so clearly it doesn't work that straight forward. I don't think Siggy would abandon her at this point either. They seem pretty close based on what his Aunt said. Maybe closer than faux-siblings.

>>20629117
Do you remember what happened to the last succubus we ate?

>>20629150
She's not a full succubus. She's way too in control of herself. I think she still has a chance to come out normal.

It's kinda why Tsu is here. To gauge how much can be taken without hurting her. We'll just need someone that isn't her to stop Siegfried.

Mylen is kind of a childhood friend. Sure he met her when he was 16 but they were together since then. Maybe she has the same fate.

I don't really dislike them... no-no really! Let's say I like classy demons!

Lets not continue this train of thought... its depressing.

Like Cheryl crit-failling EVERYTHING in /tg/ Quest.

>>20629595

GM's that don't hold anything back are the best GM's, I find.

>>20629640

Its hard to hold anything back when you guys CRIT at the time where rolls were super important.

And I prefer character death to be the result of actions and descisions instead of a roll too.

rolled 6 = 6

>>20629677
I have to ask.

How many times did that happen? I know of the charm one. But can't remember the others.

>>20629708

Oh I'm blowing stuff out of proportion here, but most of the times rolls were favorable when I asked for them.

But that crit with the charm all but killed the plans I had in mind, so I had to go for my backup pronto.

I've learned better since then!

Maybe.

Okay maybe not but we'll see?

>>20629595
Isn't someone already running a Muv-Luv quest? I mean, they're playing as the BETA but there it is.

>>20629724
She's a fallen angel not a demon. Well according to the fluff they're all demons, but you should know what I mean. But shame on INH anyway, demons are classy fuckers.

Yeah I went there.

File: 1346992793775.jpg-(131 KB, 1088x768, 12.jpg)

>>20629830

I-I like classy demons too!

But as for that MLA quest, I did see it and the idea of playing as BETA is revolting to me because... well I hate them, more than anything else I have ever encountered in all the stories I've read.

My quest will be on the human side of course, probably jsut as storied as this MGQ here.

My other idea was to be a PIRATE IN MG LANDS but with that new sky pirate monstergirls quest popping up, I think its better if I concentrate on my would be MLA quest.

>>20629881
I totally thought that the monstergirl sky pirate OP was you, and laughed when I realized it couldn't be.

Would MLA quest involve trying to get an actual good end out of Alternative? Because damn, I don't think it's POSSIBLE. Oh, you might want to read All You Need Is Kill, that's got a similar feel to Muv-Luv.

>>20629950

I'll try not to use any of the canon character because I jsut don'T think I can do them justice, but the quest will be a bit of a parallel to the various events of the vn, I haven'T tought out everything yet but I'll try to aim for alot more conspiracy than what you see in MGQ

With obligatery baters slaugther

>>20629975
oh you

>>20629997
It's probably going to be a short quest with a DEAD END, given how gleefully brutal the game is. Try ad save your friends? Nope. Try and save the Earth? Nope! YOU DIED.

How about Dark Souls quest instead? Or Dwarf Fortress?

rolled 9 = 9

>>20630045
Dark Souls would be interesting

>>20630045

I love MLA setting to death and I'll make sure to keep the cast small, I know what I'm doing!

I think

>>20629997
So how far would you stray from the canon, say with things like having soldiers who aren't utter fucking retards?

File: 1346993998558.jpg-(301 KB, 1920x1080, 1338823929657.jpg)

>>20630086

I won't try to stray too much, I'll pin the blame of retard soldiers on command being completely fucking incompetent.

Hell for a good chunk of the timeline, they were.

Oh god I'm sure we saw some of that during the early baters engagement

>>20630076
I think you missed the joke there. In Dark Souls everyone you meet is undead. You are also undead. You stay sane by hoarding humanity, which is in limited supply, and the best way to get more is to kill other people. Dwarf Fortress is famous for there being two ways for the game to end: 1. everyone dying, usually in screaming chaos as demons, undead, carp, elephants or lava come pouring down the tunnels, or the game crashing because you're doing too well and it can't handle the scale of the simulation.

Compare MLA, where everyone's just going to die for no reason.

>>20630288

I know about dorf and the souls games, trust me on that, but in the end I'm inspired by MLA setting and simply love it, I think its better to go with my muse.

Making paste out of the baters is a fun time
