Fuck yes! Good evening, Duke! Let's commit some horrible acts of violence and tragedy.

What's the deal weeb quests?

DOCTOR!

I was almost afraid you wouldn't come to our appointed schedule.

Question: are awakening noah vulnerable to dark matter?

A smile splits across your often kind-looking face even as you bow," Why, of course we would be honored, Oh great doctor!" You snap your head to the rest of the lot and hiss through your teeth to Madeleine and Kamatachi who aren't currently bowing,"Show some goddamn respect, you worms."

They bow out of fear for you, and even Ivan that had snapped a very similar look.

"If, I may ask Doctor... what should we look for to find them?"

The man twirls his cane before leaning on it a touch," My family... Well, you will simply find them based upon the stigmata that rests upon their foreheads. seven crosses, and if they're just awakening, blood from them. They should be coming around soon I'm afraid... and I simply can't cover enough ground to be certain... of them... You've done more here than I could've hoped for as level 1 Akumas... Now let's see how this family develops, hmm?"

"And where should we look first, my good lord?"

"Alas, I am also not quite sure of that... You have Ruinebriar five days from here, Florin by seven... London twenty days to the south.. Leeds roughly thirty days... It'll require so searching.

Ruinebriar is more of a trading outpost with a few farms and some houses. they get by with a vineyard and production of wine.

Then Florin is a bit of a larger town, smaller than your very own Teems, just another thought...

London... well London is where the castle is... Though I hear the Royal Family are often guarded by a high exorcist... Quite powerful.."

"The choice is yours, I'm sure that you'll find success wherever you go! Oh, and I hope that you all stay inconspicuous to some degree.. Anyway, no time to dawdle... Time for me to go!"

The Doctor lifts up his cane, keeping the black bread under his opposite arm and floats away upon a forming umbrella.

That just seems to be the way that he gets around...

The other Akuma seem to be in awe, and excitement pours out from them from this most important mission...

>>25423620

Before a Noah fully awakens they are just regular humans. That's the thing. When a member of the family dies, someone somewhere in the world awakens as a Noah to replace them. The memories of how God betrayed humanity and wronged the clan burned deep into their bodies and souls.

>>25423549
Because of this quest, I have finally started watching the undubbed anime episodes. It feels good.

>>25423648
I guess we should then ask around for rumors of people with stygma appearing on their head.

>>25423623
Ruinebriar. Sounds like a place we'll meet Tyki Mikk or Road in. Either of them would be great in a fight.

>>25423682
Read the manga, it'll feel even better.

>>25423623
Hmhmmm... Let's go with Ruinebriar or London. They seem to be the most likely places, with the most people passing through or living there.

Drawfag reporting in, have a raw scan of my level 2 concept, with a reworked level 1 concept and a doodle of ivan

>>25423712
AU, mate. Different Noah. Though... Road IS the Noah name of Road Kamelot. I'm pretty sure Tyki is Tyki's human name.

>>25423623
Let's start with Ruinebriar.

What direction are all of these from us? If we go to Ruinebriar would Florin be closer to 2 days or 12? Would London be closer to 13 or 27 days, you get the idea.

You know, with our skill at gambling, I am starting to think we could amass a lot of money, and use said money to offer a reward to anyone who can give us information on signs of a Noah appearing, like the stygmas.

We would need to setup a base of operation in a large city.

>>25423856
That would draw INSANE amounts of Exorcist attention.

I'd suggest not London, simply because there is probably quite a few exorcists there.

>>25423868
Maybe they don't know about the stygma. Not many people know about the noah, not even the exorcist.

>>25423886
The Bookmen know all about Noah.

Bookmen? Bookmans? Bookman? Difficult word to make plural.

Kamaitachi is the first to try talking, that is, if her mouth weren't full of your delicious Black bread," Mmmgd gsshhh, mmmphm mnn mmmphr!"

Schwere slaps Kamaitachi in the back of the head and the machine starts to choke on bread," Don't speak with your mouth full. We can't understand you." She says dryly, her vision snapping to you and Ivan.
"Faefnir, Ivan. Where should we g-"

"That was the doctor wasn't it! Ohhh He's sooo handsome!" Madeleine's voice rings out, and she squirms beneath her white robes like... like... You're not quite sure what she's doing with her hips.

Schwere glares at Madeleine," Don't speak when o-"

"Yeah, that's what I was saying! That was the doctor! He was so cool, I think we're his favorite Akuma, yeah? Ohh!" Madeleine and Kamaitachi clasp the hands together and both start hopping, spinning around and jabbering on.

Armbrust clears his throat," Schwere... You.. were saying something?"

The mage sits on her rump," Yes, where will we be going first? Out of the places, my memories only show London and a place called Bristol... Though I'm not certain if we want to go there." Her voice is nearly monotone, hard to believe that she's actually 1.5 now...

"I'm not sure, we should start with the closer places first though, right? Double-backing will only waste time after all." You mumble with a bit of contemplation. Without immediate concerns of bread, justice, or the fucking homeless, your mind works surprisingly well.. Especially since you hit LV 2.

Ivan is the next to speak,"Comrade, that is sound reasoning.. I remember that Ruinebriar is not far... and it would put us closer to another place known as Florin. Though both are North, and London will be to the south. What is your decision?"

>Ruinebrair and Florin are a waste of time, to London We go.
>[] Ruinebriar it is then.
>[] Florin first, we can hit Ruinebrair afterwards.

How will you travel?
>[] In demon form, it is the swiftest way.
>[] We will walk.
>[] Try for horses from the farms.
>[] (Other)

>>25423928
There will be bookmen.

>>25423928
The bookman is neutral and will often side with the disadvantaged side. In the manga the previous bookman sided with the noah.

>>25423934
[X] Ruinebriar it is then.

Let's stay out of big places for now.

[X] Try for horses from the farms.

Get some horses, a wagon or two, maybe a carriage, put a pile of valuables in the wagons and bam, we're merchants, nobody looks twice at a ragtag group of peddlers. We can even sell our bread along with other goods that we "acquire" from the burnt town.

>>25423934
>>25423942
>[x] Ruinebriar it is then.
>[x] Try for horses from the farms.

Traveling on horse is realistic.

>>25423942
Move at night in beast mode, staying off roads, but in human mode during the day.

>>25423813

Niice. Though my thoughts had a bit more eastern Influence upon Faefnir's lv 2.

It's pretty much an inbetween without a completely serpent-like body.

The Chest is a bit stronger overall to contain the oven. Though I do like what you've done to keep it from appearing too clunky overall. With high points in agility, and few in Strength and durability, it stands that it's not the most brawler-esque.

>>25423934
Ruinebriar. It's a trading outpost, tons of people pass through there, and will be one of our best bets. And we should walk, in my opinion.

>You also have 810 exp to spend.

>>25424093
How much does Smoke and Heat Magic cost?

>>25424093
Shouldn't we increase strength or durability? We are a bit weak in the physical department.

Increasing devils luck might also be a good idea, because so far it has saved our ass very often

>>25424102

That, requires another upgrade of fire.

I'm seeing that it's set for Ruinebriar.
And 2 for horses opposed to 1 for walking and 1 for alternating walk and demon-form.

>>25424093
Where'd we get the exp? Did the good doctor gift us with power for a job well done?

>>25424154
Change my vote to the horses, I guess.

>>25424154
Okay, I say we spend 500 on Furnace Heart, 200 on Leadership, and leave the 110 there to save up for other stuff.

>>25424154
Count on more for horses.
As to the upgrades I agree with>>25424186.

>>25424264
Meant 'one more'

>>25424186
Yeah, I can agree to this.

>>25424315
One question, however. How much does it cost to upgrade Creation Oven?

>>25424330

Ah, certainly, I missed something.

200 exp. I'll fix that..

>>25424330
if we upgrade creation oven enough can we make mini golems and stuff?

>>25424330
I say we go with multiples of 2. 200 to 400 to 600.

>>25424330
Indeed, we must bake more unrighteous JUSTICE for all to consume!

>>25424363
ooh, scouting eyeballs and stuff. that would be neat.

>>25424363
I'd rather have a bread that pollutes the mind of humans and make them serves us.

>>25424363
>Bread golems
>>25424389
Well they are the same upgrade path, yeah?

>>25424389
>Human ingesting Dark Matter

...wouldn't that end up explosive or something?

>>25424402
Turn them into living bombs? I can dig that too.

>>25424402
It may depend on the recipe, though they may get food poisoning all the same.

>>25423549
Something wrong with the Strength description. And did we upgrade our Agility? Last I remember, it was at level 4.

>>25424472
Or did it just naturally progressed as we evolved into Level 2?

So idea for our Black Bread; could we crush them into bread crumbs and release them into the wind for people to accidentally inhale?

>>25424491

Natural progression due to "speed-type."

Fixed strength, thank you!

>>25424577
So, even though our Strength is still at level 2, it got stronger anyway because of our progression?

>>25424166
We got it from killing the last Exorcist. The good Duke rewarded us belatedly later in the thread.

So. What should we do with our 810 exp.

Smoke and Heat magic both cost 0 exp for some reason? Why is that?

Also, let's go ahead and upgrade our Pressure Cannon. The price isn't listed, but I'm assuming it's 200? Considering the price increase for the other skills (like how Strength now costs 300 instead of 200).

>>25424705
He answered the Heat/Smoke question here >>25424154

And I suggested we get Furnace and Leadership earlier here >>25424186

Considering the advisement of Ivan and Schwere, you look over at the two oil-brains hopping around in a circle still yammering about how amazing the Earl is.. At least Schwere isn't like that.. "We will go to Ruinebriar then, if there are no objections?"

"None from me comrade." Ivan nods.
"None here either, it is a logical start." Schwere stares on, saying nothing more.

Annnd the two oil-brains keep jabbering on... Up until Kamaitachi calls Madeleine a "Fucking bitch!" and slashes at her with an arm turned-sickle, only to be blocked by a plated arm from Madeleine's own self.

"ENOUGH!" You roar out, your voice like a dragon.

The two female Akuma quickly part their weapons away and stand at a nervous attention.

Ivan chuckles," So, how will we be moving?"

"Horses, It'll be easier to move. We can get a wagon even and seem as merchants. Ruinebrair is a trading post, yes?"

"Ideal plan. The farms should still have some horses, unless survivors have taken them. We should move quickly." Schwere looks over the flames of the burning town and past the wall.

The occasional scream of men, women and children burning to death still fills the air along with the occasional creak of wooden supports giving way to the heat.

"We should be hurrying before they are all gone, eh?" Ivan shifts into his Akuma form, crouching low and springing ahead,"Off we go then, eh comrades?!"

You change into your dragon form and glance at the other lv 1.5s. Madeleine seems a bit distraught by the state of the fire now," Bah, I'm gonna get burned going through this. Could you pleeaassse carry me?" The Demon in human's skin winks at you as if trying to seduce you.

"Useless." Schwere whispers as she floats in her demon-mode, kicking off and hovering over the flame.

Kamaitachi chuckles," Heh, you scrub, look at you!" The crazy demon blows a raspberry before running down through the streets, parting the flames with wind.

Madeleine looks up at you, lip quivering.

>[] "Deal with it, you're an Akuma." Fly off.
>[] "Fine..." Carry her on out.
>[] (Other)

>>25424760
[X] "Fine..." Carry her on out.

>>25424760
>[x] (Other)

Did we take care of our family yet Duke? If not, we should give them a warm goodbye before leaving

>>25424760
[X] "Fine..." Carry her on out.

If she tries anything we're throwing her at the destination.

>>25424760
Pfffft.

Okay, we're carrying her. But not on our back. She gets to be flown in the most uncomfortable position; with our arms hooked around her shoulders.

>>25424797
Also what this guy said. Let's make a small detour.....

>>25424810
Then we drop her on any humans we get to once we reach our destination. At least make her weight useful.

>>25424797
We'll need to do it fast before any of the others realize what we're doing. What excuse should we use?

>>25424832
Tell them that we're picking up some momentos and goods to help our cover. Then we'll go to our family, seal them in, and fill it with poison.

>>25424832
Why would they object to us saying our final farewells to our family?

In fact, it would be rude not to introduce them before we leave....

>>25424853
That's not a very nice goodbye. I mean they make wheat, and that qualifies them to live.

>>25424853
I have somehow a feeling that our little bro could be useful. Maybe he has the potential to become a skull...

I'd say we leave one of them alive and hope an akuma is born.

>>25424904
Yeah. Let's go ahead and do this.

Also, how are Skulls created?

Why not have a tearful goodbye from your family with Madeline, say there is nothing for you here anymore and that you are leaving with her and her friends who are merchants? If we can use them later, it'd be a waste of resources to kill them now.

>>25424853
Unless we do it in human-form, that's not good on the suffering front--we basically just kill them all without leaving anybody to mourn them. Better to kill maybe half of them (perhaps luring them out to be crushed by the mob, luring some of the mob to kill and pillage the farm), and leave the others to fall into despair (and hopefully call up the good Earl and become an Akuma!).

>>25424922
You take a human and use black magic on them. They are not akuma, more like magic using zombies under the Good Earl's command.

>>25424999
Oh, I remember now. It actually has the chance to kill them, right?

>>25424853
I say let them all live. A good majority of the town just got wasted. They had to have loved ones in the town. With luck they will each of them give the Earl a call.

That feel when our whole family is become the Akuma. So nice...

Let's just leave them alone and head on our way.

>>25425035

That it does.

>>25424967

I have an idea. For killing the family, you could have the others kill them half of them, walk in, while in human form and tell the survivors that they can be brought back by a doctor. Because no one's told me yet that doctors aren't magic! Boom, you have new recruits!

>>25424928
>>25425058
This seems reasonable, moreso if we can kill only one of them and burn the fields. It's wheat, but the Duke is more important....

>>25425094
Lets do that. Kill mom and dad and hope for the best, or the worst, depending on the point of view.

>>25425095
The fields will remain.

>>25425094
mmmmm that's delicious.

>>25425094
...Oh! Right!

That's even better; the other, lower-level, Akuma get some nourishing suffering, and the Earl gets more Akuma.

>>25425094
Brilliant idea, we could even kill them ourselves in beast mode since the others might not be trustworthy when it comes to holding back on the killing.

Bread created from our Creation Oven induces despair in humans, right?

Ideaaaas......

>>25425173
This. Give them a batch as a parting gift. They eat, despair over the ones who died in town, and then give the Earl a call. Now they are all Akuma!

More Earl points is always good, we love the Good Doctor and want him to love us.

You hook your arms under Madeleine's and she looks up at you, a bit confused.
"H-hey, I can't ride on your back?"

"No." You say, irritated. "You're the only one unwilling to deal with this. You aren't BEGGING me now, are you?" You focus one infernal Ocular upon the human-form of Madeleine with a turn of your head.

The Akuma quickly submits," F-fine. Beggars can't choose, as they say."

You dive down from the building and begin to move your wings along with the rest of your body, hefting your wings up and down, blasting away smoke and embers as you make your flight.

The thought occurs to you, there's still Jacob's family to deal with.. You decide... you'll do this alone.

Once over the wall you set Madeleine down away from humans fleeing in terror and whisper to her with a low growl," Meet with the others, I have the most glorious personal business to attend to."

She pushes out her lip once more, "Whaaaat? You won't let mmme come along? And here I thought I-"
"Go to the others." A low growl from you, and the odd Akuma runs off in the direction of Mechanical sounds.

You fly yourself across the fields till you find the snow-laden fields of Jacob's family, the ones that had been your "shield" since your change... You will give unto them the most spectacular blessing... You place a few fresh loaves of black bread to the side and land atop the cottage, putting your tail around it to block the door.

Tearing off the roof, you find the fearful eyes of Mirabelle, the mother, Jack, The father, Harold, the brother, and Audrey, the sister.

They all huddle together in fear, the mother and father protecting their children.
You turn on your chainsaw, for a few pulses, letting the horrible sound terrify them.

It's rather amusing... Their fear dripping down their legs...

>[] Kill the parents.
>[] Kill the Children.
>[] Kill the females.
>[] Kill the Males.
>[] All but one.
>[] Say goodbye and leave them.

>>25425333
>>[x] Kill the parents.

Let these kids taste true despair

>>25425333
[X] Say goodbye and leave them.

I know this is out of place here, but I don't feel right killing them.

>>25425333
In honour of trips of 3 I suggest we kill 3 people. Mom, dad and Audrey.

>>25425333
Let us kill the parents. lets try to go for a twofer.

>>25425333
[X] Kill the parents.

And force the children to eat the bread or we'll hurt/kill them.

>>25425333
Kill the parents. Much easier that way.

Then offer the kids some delicious snacks....

>>25425387
It's fine, it's fine.

We'll be reunited with them soon enough.....

>>25425440
>>25425432
If we can make more Akuma, that'd be better than just killing them.

>>25425333
We don't play favorites Madeleine! Or, if we did, Ivan would be our favorite. You'd be second, just for being a Finder-Exorcist pair-up.

>>25425333
>Say Goodbye

And don't forget to give them some dark matter bread. Make them despair, make them call the Earl, make them ALL into Akuma!

>>25425412
and then tell them about the doctor that can bring them back from the dead. and note that each can only bring back one person, and we already used ours.

>>25425488
I support this.

>>25425488
Groovy, this

>>25425473
Which is why we're letting half of them survive.

The kids are more innocent and likely to be more susceptible to giving into despair.

>>25425487
Wait, I'm confused, don't the despairing humans call the dead people into akuma shells?

So we kill the ones we want to be remade and then drop the trick on the survivors.

>>25425487
There's no guarantee that they'd call out for anyone other than family.

>>25425544
Well an akuma is made from two people, a shell and a soul.

>>25425587
I thought the Earl supplied the shells? those model things, right?

>>25425611
Yeah but they need a human form for le sneaking and stuff, although I assume they need the shell for other stuff too.

>>25425611
Why are you confused?

A person dies. The Earl comes with a shell. A mourning living person calls out for the dead person. The dead person enters the shell then kills the one who summoned them to take their appearance.

>>25425633
yeah so, do we want the mother with the appearance of her child? vice versa? or what?

>>25425544
The person in despair calls the soul of their dearly departed back from heaven into an akuma shell that MUST follow the Earl's orders, fucking period. And they know that the moment they are called back, cursing the fool who called them back. As they watch helplessly, they kill the one they loved and put on their skin.

The soul is then forced to watch as their new "body" kills over and over again, powerless to do anything to stop it as this "thing" goes about and does whatever the fuck it wants. Being destroyed by an innocence weapon frees the soul. Being destroyed by anything else apparently destroys the soul entirely.

Truly, becoming an Akuma is to be in hell.

>>25425667
Children would be pretty inconspicuous. If we're taking them with us, it'd be useful to have some younger looking members.

You stare down from the destroyed roof, tongues of flame spurting from your mouth with slow facilitated breaths.

"Get away from us... Monster...Leave my family alone..." Jack's voice is shaky, his will obviously broken by the mere sight of you.

You reach a claw down and snatch him away from the children, and just as Mirabelle screams, you snatch her away as well.

You hold the two of them, as your claws dig into their sides, you pull them close , so close that they can see into your infernal eyes,"You are good people, for growing the wheat that makes bread... I shall give you my blessing of death." Your whisper, just loud enough for the two to hear.

They are unable to speak as your claws are buried in their flesh and you soon flick a claw across their throats, slashing them open, you drop the two worthless bodies and slip away from the house some distance, away from the fleeing people to change back.

You grab the bread you set down from earlier and run inside to see the children shaking and crying. Screaming at their dead parents and trying to hold the blood in,"Dad, dad! I.. I... Wish I knew magic! I could help! Dad, no... Please don't!" Harold screams his throat ragged between tears.

Audrey sobs likewise. She's upon her mother, trying to hold in the blood of a woman already dead."Please don't die mom... Please don't die... Please don't die..."

You wear your best expression of horror that you mimic from some of your more recent victims as you walk in, you drop to your knees and embrace both of the children,"Look away, Look away, your brother is here for you... Shhh... "

"Jacob... They're... They're..." Harold Cries, unable to say anything more as he buries his blood-covered self into your tunic.
"Harold... I know.. I know.." You say, trying to calm him down.
"Mom, mom is.." Audrey carries on with her blubbering.
"They'll be alright... We can still save them." You lie, their blood is all over the floor, black pentacles slowly appearing upon the corpses.

"W-what are you talking?" Harold looks at you, eyes teary and red, Audrey the same.

"I know a Doctor, a very good one..."

Watch, we need to learn how to create more things, and the Duke is the best of teachers even if indirectly

>>25425893

As magic and mages are a thing in this, skulls are made by sorting through those that have an especially natural affinity and corrupting them via dark magic infusion from a member of the Noah or another Skull will proceed to roll with whether or not they "work."

In this, Skulls will be your Non-Akuma equivalent to mages/necromancers and will likewise also have illusion magic for human disguise.

I do feel bad about the kids.

Also, I... MIGHT be a bit of a traitor! As I'm currently in a D. Gray Man game where I am playing an Exorcist. So... that's a thing.

Learn how the other side lives, think of it as intel! You know more about the enemy, that's always a good thing.

I too root for the exorcists in D Gray-Man, but I can still get into character for this. I am a good man, but I can easily imagine myself as an evil one.

A most useful skill. It is the one true advantage a truly good man has over an evil one in the end. I suggest you practice here. Also, what system is your GM using to render this verse? I am curious about such things.

>>25426117
It's not like there were 4 other people are family could mourn simultaneously over.

Also. Let's not crowd our group up too much. 2 more is enough, just to replace the 2 we lost.

"Y-you do? A doctor can fix this?" Harold looks at you, the small flame of hope amidst despair.

Indeed, such tidings make humans do such... stupid things...

"Yes, all you need to do is want them back badly enough, and he'll answer. He'll take them back from God if you want them enough. We still need Mother and Father here on earth, right?"

"R-right. I want them back.... What about you Jacob?"

"I'd do it.. but he only does one for everyone, and I've already had mine... He brought Claire back."

Harold and Audrey's eyes go wide,"C-Claire? Is that why you've been going into town so much? Why you have... Had the Bakery?"

You nod, and grab their hands between yours,"Make your wish, wish hard now."

A shadow appears from the missing roof," Seems that someone called for a doctor!" The familiar man drifts down, his Plague mask seemingly smiling at the children.
"Oh? Could it have been the two of you?"

The kids run out of your arms and grab the coat of the gentleman, tugging upon it as though he's Saint Nikolas.

He pats them upon their heads with his gloved hands and laughs like a kind Uncle. "Woah now, woah now... Your parents, you'd see their return, yes?"

The children nod, glance at the bodies and both begin to cry again," Please. please... they're our momma and poppa!"

"Very well, Very Well! Each of you, choose a name to say and they will be brought back!"

Easier for the potential Akuma to act convincingly if they hold some fragments of how people expect one of their sexes to act.

>>25426379
They'll lose most of their personality you know.

>>25426276
If possible have each parent summoned by their favorite child.

>>25426407

>They'd both need to be summoned by Audrey.

>>25426405
Yeah, I understand. And I'm not ACTUALLY bothered. Just thought I'd point it out.

>>25426427
Then have them both summoned by Audrey. Double the initial suffering (and on-going suffering)!

Then the new Akuma eats the son for some more suffering! In Audrey's body, even, for the extra trauma.

>>25426466
we told them they can each only summon one. and it's true...

>>25426427
OOOOOOOOOOH. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

nice.

>>25426427
>Sorry Harold

>>25426516
>no, not really.

>>25426466
Yeah, as cool as that sounds I'm against it. We need more cannon fodder for the exorcists to kill while we sneak behind em' and administer the Chainsaw powered CHOMP the God loving bastards rightly deserve. JUSTICE demands it!

>>25426466
>>25426594
I don't think it even works like that. 1 soul for 1 body.

>>25426594
And Justice will be ours.

>>25426633
My first thought on reading that was "well, just have each parent simultaneously kill both children and use the double bodied, double souled akuma monstrosity amalgamation as our transportation. Maybe it would upgrade to a mobile weapons platform and eventually a mobile fortress.

I am well aware that this is simply not possible.

> Keeping it Male to male, female to female... Vanilla I see... <3

"Jack." Says Harold, between sobs.
"Mirabelle." Audrey speaks with firm resolve.

"Excellent." The doctor cackles as the words are heard, and with a twirl of his cane the respective skeletons appear with their names etched into their headplates.

The one before Harold, Jack Thatcher.
The one before Audrey, Mirabelle Thatcher.

The two skeletal Akuma bodies stir and Jack screams," Why!? How could you do this to us?! Why would you betray us Jacob?!"
Mirabelle cries," I thought you were our son... When... when did you become a monster?"

The children slowly turn their heads to look at you, a blank expression upon their paling face," J-jacob? What are they talking about?"

You simply smile, showing the true form of your chainsaw teeth and pulsing them.

The children scream.

The doctor puts a hand over one of his ears at the piercing sound," Ah, a bit noisy, isn't it? Could the two of you silence those children? They are yours after all." The Doctor's voice is a touch grim in tone.

The parents cry out in agony as they are forced to move from their restrictions. Jack throws a bolt of lightning at the Akuma in fear, though its small. It gives Jack pause as he returns the favor, a deadly discharge.

Audrey kneels before her mother and begins praying to god,"Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name. Your kingd-"
A claw slashes across Audrey's throat, bloodying Mirabelle's hands ans she continues to ravage the corpse...

The Doctor wipes off the spots upon his coat that the children had grasped him with their dirty hands.
"How... disgusting." He mumbles under his breath, a once-more grim tone.
He looks to you however as the new Akuma begin to affix themselves to the new corpses,"Good work as usual... Quite the busybody, aren't you? Do you have a name?"

You bow before your most esteemed master.

>[] "My name is Faefnir."

>>25426734

Hmm.. It's my take upon it, I suppose that could be possible... though what would be next? Calling back a dog?

>>25426734
>>25426754
Akuma do have the ability to merge with each other (at Level 2), so the idea of having one amalgamated Akuma isn't so farfetched. I don't think it's reversible, though.

>>25426739
[X] "My name is Faefnir."

I think it sounds nice.

>>25426739
"My name is Faefnir. I pray this work has furthered your most esteemed goals. That is, after all, one of the reasons for my existence."

>>25426807
can they do that if they're not creating a giant akuma?

>>25426739
My name is Faefnir, I was just doing some last minute preparations before leaving this burnt husk behind.

>>25426840
Yeah. When Road showed up in Miranda's arc, she ordered some Akuma to merge together.

Once we're done with them make sure to take all the wheat outside into ourselves.

>>25426873
oh yeah... that's right. she also ordered some of them to explode... let's hope she's not the first noah we meet.

>>25426904

By your choice, she won't be. Though she is important..

>>25426904
It's probably not the same Noah as in the manga.

All we know is that there is only 3 noah alive right now.

The Noah have the same Noah names.

I believe he was calling himself a sore loser.

>>25426952
No, I meant I as in the poster that is me, not you, hence I did not say 'you're a sore loser'.

I don't do sarcasm.

>>25426971
Same names, many of the same memories, but that doesn't mean they'll be exactly the same, just very similar.

"My name is Faefnir, I was just doing some last minute preparations before leaving this burnt husk behind. After all, I have an assignment from my mist esteemed master to carry out."

The Doctor's mask smiles once more, dispelling his grim attitude," Ah, that is all very well indeed. Take care of these two very precious toys, dear Faefnir. I'll be off, and you do well in your mission." As usual, the man departs with his cane transforming into an umbrella.. You ponder on about how no one seems to walk anymore... it's either flying, a cane-umbrella, jumping, or..

You should be doing something right now, shouldn't you?

You look at the two nearly mindless recruits before you... The one issue with them, starting from the ground up as level 1... from their killing method, you bear in mind that it must be lightning and claws between these two...

As it is..

I'd kinda doubt that. 3 exorcist was already a lot, especially considering that innocence only exists in limited quantities (109 pieces) and that accomodators are fairly hard to find. Sending 3 exorcist was already a lot, and losing all 3 is a fucking disaster. They may schtick a general on our ass if this continue.

You whistle at the new members of the pack and they regard you with empty eyes, yet full attention.

"Temes burns and there are survivors. Too many if you ask me... Though you're not asking.
Kill anyone that looks or smells like they're middle to low class. We're rampaging tonight..."

The two new Akuma nod, and immeadiately change into their wolven forms. Jack has an odd gadget sticking out of his forehead with rings upon it. . . A very... odd contraption.. A spark jumps from it.. seems it contains the power of lightning..

The Other wolf, Mirabelle has large, blade-like claws and a slightly more armored body... at the very least she can replace Messer's close combat roll after his untimely death... Say... Where does an Akuma go when they die?

You ponder the thought...

No, there's killing to do.

The new-blood meets up with the rest of the pack and the eight of you run down and destroy those that are simply ripe with newfound poverty... even coming across horses that your pack corals into a stable and Ivan guards while the rest pick off survivors here and there, ensuring to keep most of it out of sight.

Now and then, you pose as a fellow survivor and scream that the exorcists are covering up the slaughter...

Ohoh... this should carry on in waves... and have no repercussions whatsoever...

By the break of day, most people are upon the road or dead, primarily the nobles that likely thank their blessed birth for their lives. Likely they would be headed to London.... Though your group will be headed for Ruinebriar...

It is morning by the time the clearing out is done... The pack has rooted out some valuables from the ruins that survived the fire... Mostly swords, armor, jewelry... rather high profile goods... Some farmers that were slain have stocks of their crop held upon the farms, most of which has been spared due to the fire stopping at the Castle's walls.

For posing as merchants...

>>25427319
But what kind. Green cannon fodder, guys on the level of Kanda, or (if we're really, really unlucky) a fucking General because they wander around searching for accommodators, totally justified if one just pops up out of fucking nowhere. Of course, they have several innocences on them and are probably worth so much exp it's just plain unfair, but at level 2 we and our entire posse would be curbstomped in a matter of seconds.

>>25427386
They only lost 2 innocences. That Hercules themed one is assumed to have been recovered by the exorcist side and we'll be seeing it later, in the hands of someone who actually knows how to use it.

>>25427453
Have Scwhere and Ivan get the weapons. They look like the "guardsman" types. Everyone else, go loot the farmer's belongings.

Both. We are a group of merchants who each individually sell different things.

>>25427499
I see. You really have thought this through my good Duke. I am VERY happy to see you're not handling us with kiddie gloves. Generals are and ought to be a huge X factor for us. The right man (a general) in the wrong place (anywhere near where we are) can make all the difference in the world. Let us pray we don't find ourselves among the ashes we spread.

Actually meant a bit more on... would you like to pose as weapons merchants, or farmers? Or hybrid?

>>25427499
Yeeeeesh.

Well, let's assume the closest one has been rerouted to investigate what happened in this town. We didn't see any Finders during our battle, but we should assume that they witnessed our fight and have a vague idea of our numbers. A pack of roving Level 2's is dangerous enough for a General to bother coming across while heading towards their destination.

>>25427584
A mixture. Let Kumaitachi and the kids pretend to be farmers tagging along to sell their goods, Schwere and Ivan as our guards, and everyone else as merchants.

>>25427584
Let us pose as the noble men and women who grow the grain.

Rolled 75

>>25427453

On another note, I believe I have come up with names for our new akuma.

Jack shall now be Bliztend, after the german word for lightning.

and Mirabelle will be Schere, after the german word for claw.

>>25427682
pretty sure we're still outside the town we just burned, though I agree that this is what we should do when we get to Ruinebriar

>>25427682
woah there, slugger. we still haven't left the town

Guys, we've got 1010 exp to spend.

Leadership (200 exp)
Furnace Heart (500 exp)
Strength (300 exp)

Total - (1000 exp)

>>25427705
We've got a guy named Schwere. Having someone named Schere would be confusing.

>>25427716
Oh boy, I misread.

Yeah, have everyone stock up on weapon and farming equipment.

>>25427473
Made a mistake here. Meant to say Armbrust instead of Scwhere. I thought Scwhere was the guardsman.

>>25427739
i guess it would be a bit confusing... anyone else have an idea for the clawed ones name?

Schwere was a mage, could've worked!

Alright, let's see...

I see the setup for posing as merchants... interesting... And yes, Jack could quite easily be seen as a Kirin, might be a good basis for his lv 2 form, should he reach it.

I already have an idea for Mirabelle's lv 2... though any thrown out may be used.

Writing.

>>25427739
I think we could substitute durability for strength. we're already as strong as a bear, and we're more speed based anyway. If we're fast enough to get our jaws around something, it's pretty much screwed in any event.

Other than that, I agree. No sense in having points just lying around.

>>25427780
Spitz, perhaps? German for sharp and it has a 'speedy' feel to it.

Though I have to say, maybe we should name them for something other than the characteristics of their weapons? Maybe for now, we can call them by their normal names, then rename them based on whatever personality they manifest later on.

>>25427853
I wanted to capitalize on the strength of our Fangs, though. But I'd be fine with upping Durability now and Strength later, since I wanted to improve both anyway.

>>25427855
I like it.

Blitzend and Spitz.

>>25427855
not that I'm particularly opposed to it, but why would we want to name them for something other than their weapons? it's what they are after all.
>>25427872
Fair enough. Call me paranoid, but I'm worried about getting stabbed in the back by another akuma, so I'd like to get our durability up to the point where it would take a seriously powerful hit from an exorcist to off us in a single blow.
.

>>25427797
I was thinking lion, but it seems you are already ahead of me on that.

>>25427914
Just for the sake of variety.

>>25427914
Seconding him. We have been lucky thus far, but if we go against an exorcist that can negate our agility, say, with chains or by freezing us, we aree fucked.

Lets improve durability. We don't really strength since we have other means to fight, but we can still increase it later.

"Ivan, Armbrust, You'll act as guards, get yourself some weapons, extra so that Schwere, Madeleine, and I pose as merchants.. Hmm.. of great wealth and esteem at that." You end with a bit of a purr with being wealthy...

Schwere corrects you, dryly," A wealthy merchant hires others to do their business."

"Well, Rising into wealth then." You retort, mildly irritated.

"Madeleine still looks like she's with the church." Schwere makes another observation.

The lady-bot in question looks at her own clothes with some distaste," Ahhh, she is right... I'll need something a bit more..."

Kamataichi jumps on the wagon with the children," Fun?! You want something fun, right? Hmm... I know! We can put some tart clothes on you! Because, you know, you're a huuuuge whore for the doctor!"

Madeleine snaps back, her eyes distorting into her empty demon-form's," Watch your mou- Tart clothes would be endearing wouldn't they... say.. it's too bad that Messer died... she had some realllly cute clothes!" An odd change of pace...

After some time, the Church's robes are folded and thrown into the back of the wagon. No need for them right now anyway.

"So, as I was saying..." You carry on with the interruption taken care of...
"The pups will act as Kamaitachi's, yes?" Ivan interrupts.
"Only if they don't pee themselves!" Kamaitachi calls back from the wagon. She peeks out and looks at you and Ivan," Hey, hey, I don't like that name, by the way. Calll me.... Kama... Just Kama instead."

"Mama." A still bleak voice comes from Harold's body.
Kama turns back, staring down the young boy," No, no. Kama."

"Mama." He says once more.

"Kama.." She corrects.

"Mama." He's not moving.

"Kama," She's just as stubborn.

"Kama." He smiles.

"Mama," She smiles.

"Mama it is then," The child walks away.

"Well, there it is. Seems we've got to call her Mama now, Comrade." Ivan laughs, his chest moving up and down.

>[] Yep, let's call her Mama.
>[] If she wants Kama...

>>25428061
[X] If she wants Kama...

>>25428061
>Whatever, let him do what he wants.

To clarify, let the kid call her Mama. And we can call her Kama. Unless Mama would be more appropriate to the situation.

>>25428061
>>[x] Yep, let's call her Mama.
If anything it will make us look more human

Intriguing... Madeleine is investing in leadership...

>>25428144
What gave you that idea?

>>25428061
Calling it right now; Madeleine's quirk is that she's a flirt.

>>25428061
Lets have her name be Kama but the pups call her mama. You know for appearances

>>25428154
I mystyped. I meant that Kamatachi is.

>>25428164
If she's a flirt, we could use it to extract info from men along the way. Lets exploit that quirk.

>>25428179
Ah, I see.

Also, not necessarily. It may just be Willpower. Leadership is more the ability to draw respect from other Akuma, I think.

Also, are we doing this
>>25427739
But with Durability instead?

>>25428201
yeah, durability instead of strength, unless there's any objections?

>>25428061
>>[X] Yep, let's call her Mama.


We just murdered our human host's parents and then made our host's siblings make the worst Faustian bargain of their lives.

Mama is so deliciously twisted!

I just marathoned this quest, OP.This is deliciously good evil! I approve~!

The wagon has a burnt chest of Swords, Maces, and Axes, three sets of Chainmail folded up in another, a few dozen bolts in barrels, and finally multiple sacks of grain, wheat, and potatoes.

Perhaps Schwere was correct, you don't seem like all that wealthy a merchant... Just means you'll have to kill more poor people so there are more rich people willing to spend money... or something.. right?

Or perhaps, kill the poor, take their beggared alms and gamble them away for more? Ahh, yes.. that'll do nicely..

The wagon starts on with slightly terrified horses pulling.. likely they had years shaved off of their lives with the events that happened just the other night.

Ivan sits at the reigns in a bit more guard-like attire, similar to Armbrust, whom sits on the passenger-side with a crossbow already loaded, and at the ready.

You recline just within the cover, close to Ivan, and the Children sit beside a "Mama Kama" who's asleep and snoring loudly after chasing the Child- Jack and Mirabelle around with her sickles for calling her "Mama." They're nestled up beside her now, resting peacefully..

Schwere reads a partially burned book, apparently trying to read through the parts that are scorched beyond legibility. The Woman's ntypical cold demeanor ever-present.. though you'd swear that she could just be enjoying that book.

Madeleine examines her own clothing relentlessly, seemingly upset by the "rags" that have become her skirts. She takes out a knife from the weapon's chest and cuts some risky slits up to her knee to show a little more leg. That seems to please her a bit.. You'll have to fix how poor you all look.. The Doctor can't have his favorite toys look like such dirty commoners after all, right?

You grimace as you contemplate and think of schemes to fix that.. and suddenly find the severe lack of a real oven to be nerve-wracking.

The first day of travel and you're already getting a bad itch for those things that you enjoy so much... this'll be a long ride...

>>25428309
> the Children sit beside a "Mama Kama" who's asleep and snoring loudly
Pretending to sleep, right? Since we didn't actually sleep ourselves.

>>25428363
Well, if Ivan was the one who converted the rest of the group, we're pretty much grandparents and the kids are the uncles and aunts.

Not that family really means all that much to (the normal) Akuma.

We upgraded Leadership right?

>>25428363
By that logic, so is Ivan...

>>25428309
Madeleine a slut. Good. Hope she gets a charge out of making boys into "men" right before she guts them for exp.

Seriously, whores are a DAMN good source of intel. The Vietcong didn't get the drop on 'Murrican troops for no reason after all. Afterglow is a mighty fine and powerful truth serum.

>>25428309
So, anything happens along the road? Do we meet anyone?

>>25428374
Pfft. NORMAL Akuma. Those scum wouldn't know justice OR bread from Adam. Ignoring that our lord the Doctor is named Adam, and he is both justice and bread.

I'm considering Madeleine and the kids as our children because we saw to their entire creation ourselves - we personally offed the dead, and we personally convinced the living to use the good Doctor's services. That's as parental as Akuma relationships can get.

>>25428442
Well, anyway, the good Doctor is pretty much the parent of all the Akumas.

>>25428388
She won't even NEED to gut them. Toxic fluids are fun stuff.

>>25428475
Oh, SHIT... I did not need that mental image...

>>25428475
Fun, yes, however akuma poison makes pentacles appears on the victim's skin, so it draw exorcist attention.

Unless she improves her poison until she can hide the effects.

>>25428475
Not that we can't point her towards that direction, but I don't think Madeleine is going to be the subtle type. With arms like hers, we can expect her to use her looks to lure people in before crushing them between her arms.

>>25428522
Can't really hide the effects so much as make the evidence disintegrate faster.

>>25428540
We have the option to remove side effects in our poison upgrades. I guess madeleine could do the same if she leveled it enough.

>>Chemistry(0): You have tapped further into the secrets of your demonic blood! Upgrading this allows for alterations such as reduced or increased time for the poison to reach mortality, allowing for potential survivors, altering symptoms, and destroying side-effects.

>>25428520
Yes you did. Let it stain your mind so badly, that no amount of brain bleach can remove it

>>25428562
Oh, forgot about that.

But we don't really need Madeleine to develop towards that path. We could just give her vials of her own blood. Not like it'll kill her to smother some of our blood on her lips.

>>25428592
>vials of our own blood
Made a mistake there.

January 14th 1400

1st day of travel to Ruinebriar...

The children are getting a bit of an itch to kill, and so is Mama Kama, and Madeleine. Ivan and Armbrust seem to be less perturbed, then again they've been taking turns on the reigns, while the other shoots at wildlife with crossbows.

It may be prudent to kill humans that you come across on the road, even if only to satisfy everyone.

"What are our names?" The Harold-Akuma asks.
The Audrey one holds onto a Mama Kama, just kind of looking up at you.
"Why are you asking me that? Can't you figure out names for yourself?"

Harold looks down, though Audrey opens her mouth to speak," You... made.. us.. So.. you name us... We.. want names... for us... Our names.. We're not.. the humans... We're... We're Akuma.. I am not Audrey... Or Mirabelle. Neither... Is Jack or Harold, my birth-mate. We want... Our own.. Names."

Seems that they don't just want to let this go... They're still a bit stoic... and the Jack one managed to see more action during the cleanup... The Audrey one seems more intelligent though...

>[] Give them names.
>[] Let the others name them.


>Roll 1d100 for encounter.

You feel your burning heart increase in intensity...

>Furnace Heart(4) Your Dark Matter heart has been converted to a furnace, allowing your body to be wrapped in flame. Maintained and controlled quite well, It suffers Minute dampening while its raining. An excellent scare tactic... Can be used as a fire breath,Flame cloak, or Fire-ball. Increases the potency of Smoke and Heat subtypes of Fire Magic.. Unlocks more applications of Fire Magic.

The other Akuma of the pack all glance at you a moment as something within you changes...

Leadership(1) This reflects in your ability to lead and command other Akuma, bending their will to your own cause. (1) Lv 1 Akuma (not 1.5) will listen to you and follow orders to the best of their limited ability.

You feel tougher... as though your demon form's built far more soundly...

>Durability(3) The measure of how much damage that is suffered through being attacked, and how much damage you can suffer before death. (3) Your demon body can resist glancing blows of Innocence without harm, so long as Willpower is up to snuff. A full, siege weapon-level attack will still cause heinous damage to your body.

As the leader, we have the responsibility to give them their name

>>25428619
Your dispray. It is Shamefur. Please don't let it be a General

[X] Give them names.

I say we use the names that we're mentioned earlier since those were pretty good.

>>25428641
It's not a critical. Just a failure, which means we've got a disappointing/bad encounter.

>>25428609
[x] The boy is Wendel.
[x] The girl is Kralle.

Google Translate being able to provide multiple possible translations of "coil" and "claw" is nice.

>>25428609
[X] Give them names.

Not sure what to name them though, we'll think of something, we seem to be going for a Germanic vibe for everyone.

>>25428666
Oh, yes, this is pretty good. Let's go with this.

Rolled 22

>>25428666
This is good.

Why does German work so well for naming akuma?

>>25428672
Except Kama. Who was named after an Asian monster.

>>25428684
Well, the setting is supposed to be European.

>>25428666
I'm gonna support this for the simple fact that it ends in the number of the beast. It is a sign

>>25428696

>Well, the setting is supposed to be European.

For now...

>>25428635
Ok, so we get a mid level exorcist that the duke isn't within range to destroy the thing that counts (his/her innocence). So the wrong side will recover it in the end but hey, could have been worse. We could have crit failed and landed in the lap of a general.

Gonna lose a posse member or two but we can survive this easy.

>>25428684
Because when you want grimdark, you naturally hear German.

>>25428710
Yay! Traveling!

But yeah, there are the different branches of the Order. And there's Edo.

But since this is the past, the Earl's base may not yet be established there.

>>25428711
We could have reversed the crit-fail, though.

Rolled 94

>>25428711
I doubt we will see any more exorcists in the region for the time being, unless we are near the order headquarter. Maybe we'll encounter a group of finders who will recognize Madeleine.

>>25428780
Right below the fail threshold. I like you, or at least, the dice do!

>>25428800
it won't count. only the first three count.

>>25428609
Duke, are you going to update the same pastebin every time we change our stats? Since I think it'd be nice if we kept a record of our development, especially for anyone who may stumble upon this quest in the archives.

>>25428834

If you'd like, I'll just make new Pastes. I deleted them all once I realized that I could just edit a current one..

Made it so I didn't need to post it every time.

>>25428858
Well, as long as you post a record of our abilities being updated like here
>>25428609
It'll be fine.

You begin your most ceremonious naming ceremony for these two new Akuma...

You point at the Boy,"You, Wendel" He nods, smiling, a bit happy.
Then of course, to the girl," You, Kralle." She stares on at you.
"Isn't... this a bit... Underwhelming?"
"What? You have a problem with it? I don't see you naming yourselves. You asked for it.

"It's what he did with us." Schwere doesn't look up from her book as she turns a page.

Madeleine smiles, leaning over and smiling while pushing herself up," He did me first though..."

"He took a bit longer in deciding mine." Schwere turns another page.

"Only because he couldn't decide if he wanted to name you with the way your tits sag." Madeleine sneers at the mage.

"Mine are smaller, and your body is older. If we do age, yours will be sagging first. I wear a brassiere." Dryly as usual, and another page. Is she reading that fast?

"Yeah, well-"

"Shut up back there, we've got company, comrades."

Madeleine glares at Schwere, who doesn't look back. Kralle's eyes begin to change as she smells humans.

You snap at her," Keep control of yourself, until I say otherwise."

The child's eyes revert back and she nods, slowly. straining her will to keep in check.

You peek out from the wagon as it's come to a stop. There are many men and woman with weapons, mostly bows drawn upon the carriage. A single brutish man with two axes upon his back and a crossbow aimed directly at Ivan's chest walks forward from the ambush upon the mountain's road.
"Oi, D'is 'ere's a rob'ry. Throw all ye nice things out th' 'van an' let me men search... An' y' bodies won' be end'n up grub f' th' dogs! Fair deal, eh?"

Bandits, what a joy... They must be watching this road especially since Ruinebriar is a tradeing post first and foremost... of course it makes an ideal road to..

Madeleine smiles maliciously and you actually see a small one from Schwere, the same.

>How will you deal with these bandits?

>[] Every transforms, time for a slaughter.
>[] Go along with the robbery until they enter the wagon. Then begin the slaughter.
>[] Negotiate first. (Write in)
>[] Tell Ivan to keep the wagon moving...
>[] (Other)

I've been trying to find this quest again since that first fateful night, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do...

Not related to the matter at hand, but I think I've got a way for Faefnir to kill time while traveling:

Let's make a cookbook! We've got the black bread recipie, we can start planning out modifications to test out when we re-establish ourselves. We can even add in regular human recipies, like Claire's original bread recipie. We baked like a mofo to abstain from going apeshit while the exorcists were mucking about, one would think we'd know it by "heart" already.
