In the demon family's flight from Florin, they took a roundabout, yet objectively safe route.. Yet the true monster lay not back at Florin, yet within Faefnir...

After appeasing Kralle with a new creation based upon the bone of a child that she had befriended, the demonic gentleman shared a moment with his dear Madeleine.. Only for something truly evil to stir within him.

Alas, he has made a pinkie promise with Alice! And what a promise it is..

The next time Faefnir is invited to wonderland, he must accept..

First, Faefnir's stats and abilities!

>>
You ponder it over a moment, her having refused your additional condition.. There's no helping this matter.. You extend your hand, going for a hand slap. She immediately catches on and follows you into a fistbump.
"What's good my nigga?"
You're caught off guard,"Eh? What?"
Alice giggle at that," Nothing, nevermind!" Before extending her pinky for you again," Wrap your pinky around mine and shake it, that's how you do the pinky promise! No handslaps or secret handshakes... Dawg.."
"I... Err.. What?"
"Shake my damn pinkie already.. Homeboy.."

Your expression goes blank at Alice's increasingly odd antics, yet you reciprocate the gesture, causing her to smile at you sweetly," Right then.. Maddie, come on out! It's time to do some fixing!"

The covered wagon stirs some, yet no one comes out.
Alice looks to you,"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Madeleine, I need you out here. I've struck a fine deal!" You call out and she finally steps out of the wagon, looking cautious, like a deer ready to bolt at the slightest provocation.
Alice leans over to you,"Also, don't tell them the details of our little promise.. I do love surprises.."

You shoot Alice a look, before regarding Maddie once more as she slowly makes her way over, it's only then that Alice releases your pinky and jumps up to standing, throwing her teacup away with the sound of shattering soon following," Madeleine! My good and dear sister in law! You simply MUST tell me how you've been doing!"

Maddie looks like she's at a loss for words as she stops in the snow, staring at the extraordinarily odd little Noah,"I.. I don't trust them Faefnir.. I've told you I-"
"Darling, darling you've nothing to worry about! I'm only here to help the dear Dragon 's family! Surely you can see that.." She flicks herself in the head," Interrupting is bad Alice.. No interrupting! It's bad manners.."
>>
Madeleine looks at you as if she's about to cry.. or burst out laughing," I'm scared Faefnir, she's scaring me.."
Alice bursts out laughing," Rightly you should be dear Butter Cookie! Alice is about.." She smiles sweetly at the blonde demon before her, tasting each and every one of the next words," To.. do.. some.. fix-ing.. on.. you." She ends with a point, and Madeleine bolts in the opposite direction.
"I love it when they run, she says with a look to you before falling down and into a hole," I shan't be long dear!"

Well, if this isn't worrisome..

Actually, I trust Alice with this one. this is a good plan. now we can awaken without worrying about killing Maddie. and Maddie can act more like Maddie now.
>>
>>26535253
Go after Madeleine and calm her down, I'm worried that her acting out will make it much harder for Alice to help her. Assure her that we've brokered a deal to help her and that we won't let any harm come to her.
>>
>>26535253
Alice may have asked us not to share the details of the plan, but we never said that we wouldn't accompany Maddie or that we wouldn't delay the Innocence's destruction for a little while.
>>
>>26535393
I'm sorry, but we need to get this Innocence thing destroyed, or either we kill Maddie as we awaken, or she kills the rest of us when the Innocence takes over.

if anything, i would go with this >>26535390

>>26535393
The details of our promise is probably referring to having to go to Wonderland next time, I don't think that telling Maddie that Alice is here to help and won't hurt her goes against the agreement.

You're too naive. You're not even thinking about Maddie's feelings on the matter. We need to do things based on trust. Maddie needs to be the one to accept the treatment, or more problems will result.

>>26535790
Morgan doesn't actually want to consciously fuck us over. She is conflicted between the memory of Noah and her human side.
>>
>>26535790
Morgan argued against the Duke for our survival.

She was reluctant to leave us behind at Florin.

And she's apparently depressed at the thought of our death.

We really need to contact her through Alice before it's too late.
>>
>>26535790
She's got the hots for us, she's argued for our survival, she's shown that she's conflicted between choosing us and choosing the Noah family, she didn't set things up with Arthur. She's much easier to trust and work with than Maashiima, and was not happy about hearing of our likely death.

We'll have to visit with her some time, flirting with her is fun.
>>
>>26535839
>>26535874
>>26535838
I always saw it as scientific hunger for understanding. She told mashimapan about our plan which lead to him fucking us over, and I never read her later interactions with us as an attraction. Mark my words, it'll fuck us over hard.
>>
>>26535839
I kinda liked the idea someone suggested in the last thread of sending bread. It lets them know we're still alive, and that we're not pissed off at them.

I do think it's better for us to keep our distance from her though. She made it pretty clear that we probably shouldn't see her again.

We'll have to see how this whole noah memory thing progresses with us. ...is is incest if we go after Morgan?
>>
>>26535899
The real question is if it's a threesome if we go after Morgan.

>>26535899
The Noah aren't all blood related.

And technically we are a genderless robot powered by the dead soul of a girl.
>>
>>26535897
as if. we are close to awakening as a Noah, while still being an Akuma. If anything, the Noah will be happy to have another member with them, even though they may be a bit odd.
>>
>>26535899
Only in a purely spiritual sense at this point.

But given that all humanity is descended from the Noah I don't think they have any objections to incest anyways.

So you're saying we should put all our skill points into the "Become the Little Girl" skill tree?
>>
>>26535983
The question is, does it count as a threesomes if its with Bondormu?
>>
>>26535899
No, I think Morgan only said that because of Maashiima. Or because she feels that it's wrong to worry too much over an Akuma when the others in the family look down on us all (except for Alice, but, well, she's not really 'standard' in her tastes).

>>26535897
Maashiima was there when we shared our plan. We also trusted him.

And she does have a 'hunger' to understand how we work. But she's also shown herself trying to resist that.

>>26535962
Does everyone here want to awaken as a Noah? Since you're the only one so far pushing for it.

Bondomu already told us that awakening as a Noah would change who we are.
>>
>>26535962
Or they might decide to free the souls of their fellow disciple.(pluralization is weird when talking about the Noah of bonds) Also remember that we kinda promised ourself that we would keep this a secret. You wouldn't want this to spiral off into Fafneir developing severe self loathing and commuting suicide now would you?
>>

Leave it to alice.
>>
>>26536010
Only in a purely spiritual sense.

>>26536014
I'm also pretty iffy on awakening, we have a strong Will, but a Noah level will isn't going to be easy to deal with, it'll change us a lot, and I don't want to lose our family like that.
>>
>>26536014
I did push it too. We should awaken as a Noah. It will be for the best for the family, as they will become untouchable by other Noah.
>>
>>26535790
Because she has tits.
>>
>>26536014
well, the only reason I was against it before was because awakening had a high chance of us killing Maddie because of the innocence in her. But, since that doesn't seem to be an issue... there is basically no downside that i can see to it.

It'll get the doctor off our case, we can satisfy Morgan's scientific curiosity about us, and it will force Maashima to not fuck us over. which i'm sure he'll hate, which makes it better.
>>
>>26536031
Yeah, the "I'm a Noah" reveal is probably something we should hold back on unless it's absolutely do-or-die, Duke Millenium's got a gun to our head.

And even so, that pretty much hinges on us convincing them that we're more useful as an akuma, and that if we get reincarnated, they're gonna be losing our support while they have to go look for us.
>>
>>26536052
so you don't trust the power of bonds? Ironic, isn't it.
>>
>>26536052
>>26536067
If we're going to awaken, we should do it first AFTER we reach level 4. Our willpower needs to be HIGH.

>>26536091
The downside is that we lose our identity and are replaced by the memory.

And there's no guarantee that the Noah memory will care for the family the same way we do.

The Bondomu we speak to in our dreams isn't even the real Bondomu. It's just Jacob and Claire.
>>
You take an uncertain step forward in the snow, the white drifts crunching beneath your foot while thoughts among doubts swim in your mind after seeing Madeleine disappear beyond the trees.

You take another step, worry now running through your mind.. What if Alice hurts Maddie? What if she resists? What if..
Should you go? Could you even help her?

Your body trembles with fire and violence, thawing the frozen ground beneath You shake off these doubts, they are unfit for Faefnir, the Dragon... Bondomu, the Noah..

You rush forward with all of your speed and vigor to track down Maddie.. The least you can do is explain what Alice intends.. how she means to fix her or..

You smash a tree before you with a burning fist, blotting out that thought, that horrible doubt. Charred splinters flying into the snow as your oculars identify her tracks.

You hear a scream ring through the wood shortly after and a crash as the tree falls.. Or .. was that ahead of you?

Slipping past a few more trees at an unearthly speed and you come into a clearing.. wear the earth and snow has been smashed away...
You look down into a Crater with the white, and gold form of Maddie clad in ephemeral green glancing to and fro at the Noah that's slipping in and out of reality.

"My, my!" She vanishes as the godly demon lunges at her fist-first.
>>
>>26536096
I think out of the three the duke is the least likely to fuck us over while being the most capable of doing so.
>>
>>26536109
I don't think we can hold off awakening right now as out stats are frozen and we can't evolve.

I believe we must choose between the path of Akuma or Noah right now.
>>
Appearing at the far end of the crater, at Maddie's back, she sits upon the air with a cup of tea, after a sip, she puts a finger to her lower lip,"I hadn't thought that you'd be so difficult.. you sure slipped off-"

Another meteoric fist seems to make contact with Alice's face, as it carries through, exploding away ice and dirt, obscuring the machine's visage as she looks around once more, seeking out her target.
An unearthly.. almost heavenly voice rings out," Scourge of God's Good will. I knowest thee to be out there! Show thyself so that I may purge your corruption!"

Alice now walks the perimeter of the crater," Innocent little machines know not the pain they bring! Rude Machine is it, that puncuates with a fi-" Another thrown punch, and Alice reappears elswhere," -st! Tsk tsk! I only wanted to play at doctor! Who knew my touch would drive you into the psyche ward! " She pouts as the innocence controlled Madeleine begins to wind up another explosive strike..."

>You have control.. and Ex-Maddie hasn't noticed you yet...
>>
>>26536109
I have a feeling that we won't be able to level or gain experience at all until after we awaken. because remember, Duke said we aren't currently gaining experience, most likely due to a bug in our programming. which we can fix when we awaken as a Noah. besides, the awakening isn't far away, it's already begun.
>>
>>26536159
Lets try to get her attention.
>>
>>26536159
I've got a baaaaaad feeling about this.
>>
>>26536103
See the Pity.

Just because the Noah of Bonds cares about bonds, that doesn't mean he's benevolent at all.

>>26536150
>>26536165
Oh wow. Seriously guys.

It's like neither of you is actually willing to try and find a solution.

>>26536159
Tell Alice to stop. We asked her to help Maddie, not fight her. We'll be the ones doing the convincing.
>>
>>26536199
I think that might be a bad idea anon.
>>
>>26536159
>You have control.. and Ex-Maddie hasn't noticed you yet...

[x] Do nothing. Alice is perfectly capable of subduing Maddie without us. If we get in her way, we're messing up Alice's fun.
>>
oh my god we're going full retard here. I really really think that right now, we need to just trust alice on this.
>>
>>26536223
Alice isnt really hurting her at all. Not yet anyway
>>
>>26536253
Someone with a bit of sense.
>>
>>26536223
The other solution is plain and simple, we get the souls of Jacob and Claire out of us. Problem is that it has a fairly high chance to kill us if we can't replace the soul on very short notice.
>>
Now you see one of my major fears for awakening is that our family will construe it as defecting to the Noahs.
>>
>>26536253
Are you bitter? There's no need to be bitter.
>>
>>26536273
If thats an option why dont we keep the next two bandits alive for this?
>>
>>26536223
or we have found a solution that we like. also, Maashima might have been an asshole before becoming a Noah. Just because we awaken doesn't mean our entire personality is going to change. it will change it a bit at least, but not the whole thing. it's not like we're Wrath or anything.

>>26536159
stay back and let Alice handle it, only step in if it seems like she really needs help. I have a feeling that she has gone full Ariel now.
>>
>>26536273

I'll say that you DO currently have a human accompanying you.. though not exactly by his own will..

Fonso is still incapacitated... Poor gypsy.. HAH.
>>
>>26536299
Or, hell. We might as well take Fonso.
>>
>>26536299
First we would need a method to exorcise the Noah out of us, which isn't exactly easy without using innocence.

Secondly, I doubt just any soul would do. We need a special soul that had strong bonds in life. Well, there is Fonso.
>>
>>26536287
Yes, but it also eliminates the main problem the Noah have with us. They think we're an Akuma that's malfunctioned and is about 5 minutes from going "Crush Kill Destroy Master" mode. It also reassures them of our loyalty.
Right now we look like an akuma that's gone rogue and is trying to build its own army that it could use to overthrow those annoying Noah.
>>
>>26536299
well, it's an option if you want to KEEP the innocence, since it's been stated that the only way they are getting out of us is if Maddie performs an exorcism with the innocence. do you expect us to survive that?
>>
>>26536321
>>26536349
yes, but then Morgan will be awful sore with us that we got rid of such a good test subject.

we could also use the book that schwere has, but i have mixed feelings about that.
>>
Wasn't it stated that if we lose our Noah memory, we will be unable to make any more family members, and that we, and the family will inevitably die?

Let's think about this before we jam things into Fonso.
>>
>>26536290
Midly annoyed with what I consider to be a bad choice. we really just need to step aside on this one. I'm also the one who doesn't trust Morgan in the slightest. as a bonus piece, I would really rather purge maddie and let the NOAHing begin than ever exorcise us.
>>
>>26536359
The only innocence shown to be able to exorcise the Noah out of someone was crown clown. Actually, that innocence probably took on that shape and power only because of the presence of the 14th.

it's like everyone is like super paranoid that becoming a Noah will completely change who we are. it doesn't, not unless you have a very very VERY strong memory like Wrath's. which we don't. each incarnation of each memory is unique because each individual who awakens is unique. the awakening of our Noah memories doesn't erase our old ones. just adds new ones.

Alice can handle it. Maddie'll probably put her fist through our face if we go near her now. And we'll probably lose control if we make contact with Innocence.

We could lose our identity if we awaken. However, we could also let ourselves be exorcised and remove the memory. If that didn't kill us, we'd lose our Bond powers, and that means no more Family. We're probably gonna have to awaken unless we want to play Claymore Quest.

Neither usually work exactly as intended.

So here's the part
>We can only hold the memory off for so long... Who.. or what you become is not something that we can predict.

Along with the line of having to maintain our sanity, it seems to suggest that our identity will be in danger if our Willpower isn't strong enough.

It's not as if we haven't already seen the dangers of succumbing to the Noah memory. We saw it with Morgan already.

>>
>>26536808
At the very least, it's definitely a good thing for us. Because, as we learned from the previous thread, failing isn't a good thing. Even when the Duke makes it seem like it is.
>>
You recede back into what's left of this neck of the wood, observing the conflict discreetly.. At least having been here to witness what Alice had in mind.. that puts your thoughts at ease..

Though Maddie's current form and speech does still disconcert you.. Hopefully.. there's something left of the demon you lo-... You lo-...
The Madeleine you love... You clench a shaking fist.. Another thunderous straight bringing your attention outward again.

You see Alice standing upon Maddie's outstretched fist.. yarn and kneedlkes in hand, knitting furiously..
The Holy machine looks up at the Noah, dumbfounded by this display.

"Kniting, i must knit! T'is a surgeon's profession to knit!" As she's halfway through a sweater, she seems to realize something profound.. Profound and very distressing.
"Bollocks! Bollocks! I got it all wrong! A surgeon knits FLESH, not yarn!" She throws the project to the ground as she disappears with Maddie's throw of a hook.

Standing back to back with Maddie, the godly machine scans the field as Alice seems to ponder to herself some moments before finally thinking aloud," You know-" An elbow is thrown and once more the Noah is gone again, this time she sits upon a chair floating upon the air," I think our game of Shark and Cat has gone on long enough.. " Her lips pull back into that horrible, ear-to-ear Noah Smile, her expression darkening as veins jut out of her forehead.

Maddie looks up at her, unflinching predatory eyes now, she extends her arms to either side, snow melting and swirling around her as vaporous water," Deus Ex Herculean: 5th and 8th Labor- Proceed."
>>
Stallions begin to form out of the water, their equine maws opening to unveil crushing, gnashing teeth... Held together by that ephemeral green glow, they advance into the air..

As Alice simply waits.

"Mocking of the Turtle."
The air surges as a colossal Tortoise-shell appears around Alice, the steeds colliding with it in a frenzy of horrible, gnashing teeth.. then suddenly a grin appears upon the shell," Shall I make a stew of horses?" It whispers before opening wide, swallowing all of the steeds, crushing them right back in return.

Maddie leaps forth to deliver a blow to the shell, only for it to open up fully, and unveil a boiling pot with screaming horses.. A lake of fire, blood and guts exists within and it comes down upon Maddie, the entire thing engulfing her and falling into the crater, filling it to the very edge with the blood, bile, liquid fat, and other bits of gore.

Alice floats down into the newly formed hell-pond and stands upon a lillypad, smiling directly at you as she takes out a fishing rod," I'm fishing for lions my dearest Jabberjabber, how goes your day?"

>[] You.. Have control?
>>
>>26536952
Let her proceed. I don't think we have much to add.
>>
>>26536952

"...Did you catch any lions?"
>>
>>26536952
"Please try to catch the Lion alive. I would be very cross if she were to die.
>>
>>26536952
We should be given the chance to speak to Maddie. Clear things up with her and to make sure there aren't any I'll feelings.
>>
>>26537069
let's do that AFTER we get the innocence out of her. because right now, she's Ariel.
>>
>>26536952
"Do catch the lion alive Alice, I am quite fond of her. I only wish to help her, not to harm her. Damnable Innocence.

Aside from this little fracas my day has been quite enlightening.

Alice dear, would you mind delivering a loaf of my bread to Morgan when next you visit her? I do not know where she is myself and getting to her is certain to be a trouble for one such as myself. I believe it would invigorate her work, remind her of me, and perhaps even infuriate Maashiima to no end."
>>
>>26537104
There's no reason why we can't speak to her now. Best to do what we can to ease all this.
>>
"Ah.." The scene's almost put you at a loss for words.. On one hand, the gore is absolutely glorious.. on the other.. There is no other, this tickles the darker parts of your soul.. And it shows upon your malicious smile.
"If you would, Alice.. Do try to catch the lion alive.. I'd be very cross if she were to.." Alice's line snags something and she begins to pull and reel in, obvious effort painted across her face.
"To..." You narrow your brow as you stare at this scene, incredulous.." To.." Why can't you think of that last word.. You bring a hand to your head, pushing your hair back with some thought.
"Ah, I'd be cross if she were to die!"

The water.. Ah... Blood explodes.. sending hot gore, blood, and bile everywhere as the Ex-Maddie flops on the end of Alice's flops like a fish with the hook going through her chest.

"It's a big one! Man the harpoons! This is my white whale! I'll take it down to the briny deep even if it kills me!" It's with a point that her lillypad fires off tiny roped harpoons to secure Ex-maddie before she lands back into the bloody pond and attempts to swim away, splashing blood everywhere.

Despite the obvious control that Ariel has over the body, you can see through the blood that she hasn't a damned clue what's actually going on...

Roll 1d100..
>>
>>26537120
Now is not the time for bread.

>>26537132
She's burning in a lake of fire. Not a good time for us to talk to her. Also, it seemed as though Madeleine wasn't even the conscious personality at the moment, so that's pointless.
>>
>>26537120
It speaks volumes of our character to act like an ass when someone dear to us is suffering/almost cured.

Remove the pretenses. Act like we're weary of this issue and that we're glad it's almost over. Act like we want to put Morgan at ease. But don't act like a pomp ass.

>>26537219
indeed. I think now is a good time to explain to her that we are just getting the Innocence out, and we are right here to make sure she's alright, at save distance so she doesn't kill us.
>>
>>26537166
By my understanding, Maddie and Ariel were never separate. When she spoke of Maddie as another entity, she did so as a way to refer to her experiences as being like another person 's life
>>
>>26537205
Alice.

>>26537161

Hook through the chest?

I'm gonna hope that it'll end with pulling out the Innocence or something.
>>
>>26537314
No. The part about Faefnir enjoying the spectacle too much to care if Maddie died.
>>
You look on as Maddie swims through literal blood and fire, frantically trying to get away from the horrible and insane Noah.

With a glance you see that Alice's attire has shifted to that of a lady-sailor.. With high-boots much like a fisherman and a cheap, unlit cigar hanging out of her mouth.. She holds the rod with one hand and takes out the tobacco with her other, flicking it out into the blood-fire.
"Right, right. Fun-time's over! Time to break a huge pussy." She coughs an exaggerated hacking cough...

" Cat." She finally says with a smile illuminated by pond.

You offer Maddie further words of comfort, yet her thrashing proves that they fall on deaf ears... Until...
Maddie's pulled up by the fishing pole, flung up and into the air, Alice gives her one final yank...

And a green crystal flies out of the demon's chest!

As she sails through the air, remnants of the blood-fire whisking off of her, you see that her body's deactivated.. motionless and not prepared to stop her fall..

You spring into action, shedding your humanity with a burst of crackling flame as you push forward with your jets, catching Maddie in midair, her body heavy.. heavier than you ever thought it could be as you hover back down, doting upon her.
"Maddie.. It's over now.. You're not infected by that loathsome thing..." You rock her back and forth slowly, cradling her humanoid form in your arms.

"And so, the tale of a sleeping Beauty begins.."Whispers the voice of Alice from behind you.. Yet when you turn? The Noah is gone... And so is the crater of blood-fire.. Hell, even the crater is gone...

"What... happened?" You think out loud with a mouth clenched tightly yet with your fear, and wonder..

>[] You have control...
>>
>>26537393

>>26537393

>>
>>26537393
See how damaged Maddie is, gently carry her back to camp. Once there give her a kiss if she's not already awake.
>>
>>26537441
...I don't know. The way the one drawfriend draws it, we do.

Also: We should assess her damage and retrieve the Innocence.
>>
>>26537462
I'm pretty sure Alice took it.
>>
>>26537483
Almost certainly, scan our surroundings though, if she left it behind I'd like to know, just in case.
>>
I vote we bake out a feast, bread cakes and pastries, baked delights of all sorts and give the bouquet to alice.
>>
>>26537518
She's already gone.

But we could bake a feast for maddie and the family.
>>
>>26537483
We need to verify. It'd be stupid if we went to all that trouble and then had the stupid Innocence get picked up by the Order again.
>>
You look over Maddie's form, assessing whatever damage she may have sustained in that.. could you even call what transpired a fight? No.. hardly.. it was more kin to the slaughter that your brothers and sisters partake in.

You can't see any inherent damage upon her while she's in her human form.. to the best of your knowledge.. she's perfect, as usual.. Her blond hair falls into the snow, her dress exposes just the top of her bosom, just as she likes it, and there are no tears or rips.
Yet even so, she just sleeps.

You run a claw through her hair and gently set her down, scanning the area for the innocence,,

After a few moments of no breaches.. hell even the slightest urge to strike at something. You give it a shrug and turn your attention back to Maddie, slowly picking her up.

"I took the shiny green and broke it up good! No more to worry about from this one!" Alice's disembodied voice seems to ring out from within your ears.
"Be ready for my invitation then Faefnir! I'm expecting.." She ends that note with a carry and drifts into silence. Pressing on, you make your way back from whence you came... back to the wagon where the others wait...

Night's fallen and its dead silent.. No distant howls, no wind, no deer foraging, no squirrels chittering..

A feeling crawls up your spine in this dead silence.. a feeling that this couldn't possibly be right.

The wind isn't blowing, no sounds of beasts with the night's fall.. And that crater.. it just.. vanished?

You kneel down, in your human-form now, on guard. Yet you look down to Maddie and you just can't help but feel.. But feel..
What was that human custom again?

You slowly look over her face. Her lips slightly agape. The lovely lips that belong to Madeleine. The Madeleine that belongs to you.
The Madeleine that you love..

Pushing her up, a hand at her back, your lips meet hers, their softness pressing you.
With your free hand you move away a black tear as you're caught up in this moment. You push a lock of Maddie's hair behind her ear.
"Why won't you awaken... I.. I wanted you to be fixed.. to be better.. not.. like this.. Maddie.. Maddie.. Please.." You begin to tremble," Please open your eyes..."

Another black tear runs down your cheek, and you feel a hand touch it, to wipe it away.
You smile from the bottom of your heart as you see that Maddie's opened her eyes.. Yet.. she has such a sad look upon her face..

"I'm sorry Faefnir.. I'm.. so sorry.. I tried.. I really did.."

You shake your head, petting her slowly and gently as you hold her in the snow,"It's quite alright.. I know that you did, love.. You did so well.. I'm proud of you.. Let's go back to the others.."

Maddie shakes her head, and cries even more openly in your arms as you begin to rock her back and forth...

"I...I... I'm sorry.. I'l sorry about the promise..."

What promise? You try to recall what she could be so upset about.. You look down at her.. Tears streaming down her face in clear trails. She unleashes a for more sobs, her face a mess...

Your eyes snap, open and aware. Her tears.. were clear? Her tears are clear.. that means..
"Maddie, why aren't your tears black?"

The crying stops abruptly with the tensing of her body.. Like a child caught in a lie.

You begin to pull back once more, to get a look at her face, only for her to look away. You move her blonde hair away to get a look at her face," And.. what promise?"

Without another word or sob, she pushes you off of her, her rear planted firmly in the snow..
She extends a hand and folds all fingers except her pinky.

You stare at the extended pinkie for a moment, circuits firing off in your brain as they make the connection.
"Alice."is the name that escapes your mouth at the same time as an exasperated sigh.
You bring a hand to your head and push back your hair with a small amount of relief that it's just her.. that it's just her playing at being Maddie.. even if just for a moment..

You chuckle at that, laugh even at the odd girl's antics, yet despite your amusement, you notice that the often amused girl.. does not seem quite..
Enthralled as usual.

"Right then, Alice.. Where's Madeleine? I'd like to see her.. We've got to return to our family..." You say as you rise from the snow, forcing it off with a gentle wave of heat and looking about expectantly.

The Alice-Maddie gives you a weak smile with a trembling lower lip," I'm sorry Faefnir.. I.. I did what I could."
You nod at that, "Yes.. of course you did. And quite well at that."
She doesn't respond to that..
"Alice.. what's going on here?"
The facade nearly whimpers," I'm so sorry.."
Your patience has begun to wear thin on this matter," Sorry, yes, you've said that more than a few times. Sorry for what?"

Alive looks to you with Madeleine's eyes, and in Madeleine's voice," She died Faefnir. She died when the Innocence came out.."

Your posturing fails you, and you feel as though the world's been taken out from under you as you fall to your knees with the whisper of "No." upon your lips.. "No, it cannot be.." Your emotions shaken, your highest prerogative begins to boot up.. Killing.. and how to as you stare at her with empty eyes.. Reason quickly becoming a background function, a subroutine.

"For what it's worth.. This isn't Wonderland." Alice whispers as she sheds the form of Madeleine, her appearance her usual gothic dress with black lace.. though she looks ripe with guilt.
"I'm.. sorry Bondomu.. I.. I.. Tried to help. I didn't think it would kill her.. I.. I pulled you into your own mind when I saw her fall so that I could check her and make sure that she was ticking right.. She.. She isn't.. that's why.. That's why I cried.. that's why I'm sorry.. About the promise and this facade.."
She pulls her legs into her body, sitting with a gloomy look," I didn't want you to be angry. I just wanted you to be happy Bondomu.. I liked watching you and your little family.. Sure, Morgan was sad with thinking that you're dead.. But at least you didn't hurt her.. Maashiima's got his fingers in that one now though..." She covers her ears, crushing her eyes together as she starts up sobbing again.

She screams," I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"

Hey, in this case they started it. And less of a coup, and more of us running our own project off to the side and telling the Noah Family to bugger off, except Alice, and maybe Morgan, they're cool.

You stare onward at Alice, your vision clouding over with the creeping malevolence of your homocide matrix.. Yet you bring your reason back, slowly and steadily from Alice's words...

"This.. This is not your fault." You spit out the words as though they're acid. A deep seeded and sick hatred within you like the blackest of bile.
You feel that familiar stir within you..
~The moons...~

"Return me to reality Alice. I'll see to her body myself."
The Noah looks up at you, almost as though she senses your intent.. and... "Bondomu.. Are you .. awakening?"
"Alice, we are still here."

She puts her hands together in an ecstatic smile, nodding vigorously," Right, right, right!"
She takes a deep breath, and gives you a sarcastic smirk," All you need to do is Wake up."

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

Your eyes snap open, resting against a tree uselessly, you rise up, and see Alice around the rim of the crater, still full of blood and fire, nursing the dead Maddie.
>>
You take a step and feel your head ache, dizziness taking over you.. Despite that, you take another step as black leaks from your head. Another ache, and more of your blood comes down your face.

"I.. Am.. the Noah of bonds..." Everything's getting so fuzzy that you can barely see.. and yet..

You extend your hand and picture the form of Madeleine so clearly.. Everything that you knew about her..

The way that she cared... You keep walking.
The way that her hair would catch the wind flow like golden ribbons... You let your feet guide you as your vision is drowned out by your own blood.

"Her power... Her dignity.. her honesty... Her perseverance.. The care that she had for our family.." You fall to your knees and touch her, hands.
In this world of darkness, you note that Alice is silent.. Yet you focus upon the task at hand...

Every single thing that you can imagine about Madeleine..
~Bring her back.~

You feel the power of your inherited memory come through...Giving not only form, but life as well.. The power of the bond.

Amidst the creation.. it dawns on you.. You still.. don't know where dead Akuma go... You still don't.. You still don't know that...

You begin reconstructing everything that you remember her for and that you remember she was.. Yet even so you know that there'd be something missing.. What MADE her Madeleine.. and what powered her..

~Would you defy God?~

"I would defy God... I would defy God and the devil himself for my family!! Nothing..." You feel your power surge through you in powerful waves as your memories and thoughts are written into a new existence..

The bleeding from your head continues, and in this darkness you reach out with your own will. Your heart and soul into the abyss.
"Madeleine!" You roars out, calling for that identity.
"Teresa!" you scream, the name of her body that you knew before her new life.
"Ariel!" The whore-exorcist that powered your beloved.

The echoes come back and you grasp them, despite their flight..

You feel one, "No, that's Ariel.."
Another.. "That's Teresa.. Where.."

You pull the fingers of your lefthand into such a fist that your nails bleed the fake flesh of your hand, slamming it into the earth. "Where!" you roar out, like the sound of thunder.
"Where do Akuma.. Where do they go when they die?!" You begin clawing at your own face, as though the answer is there.. only just out of your sight...
"Where.. Where... Where..."You see nothing but darkness, and nothing has given you this answer..
You hear a whisper.. a whisper more silent than death itself.. Yet it cuts right through your frustration...

"Ivan... The answer.. Memories..." You feel around, passing over the body that you'd begun to craft, searching for the original corpse.
"Where is it.. Where is the body?"
>>
"Here it is.." Alice's voice and you feel a head put into your hands.. with a tug, you pull the rest of the body.

"This.. this is a place that Akuma go when they die.. One place... One place that they'll always exist.."
You stab your hand into the dead Maddie's flesh and feel the inside of her Chassis, hoping that it's there.. Praying to the Devil that it's still in tact...
You feel it.. and you grip it, pulling it out with impunity.

She had lied. Maddie's core.. Was still in tact!

Continuing on, you put the core into the new body and give it a sharp jolt. Once, twice, three times.. yet something is missing. The soul. She was powered with a soul.. And that soul is gone now.. Why didn't you grab it when you had the chance?!

Your grief begins to overwhelm you in your darkness, and you begin to flush out your Oculars to see the world once more..

It's almost eerie.. Two perfect, lifeless copies of Madeleine lay side by side...
Your face cracks a smile at your ability, though it's short lived as this still isn't over.. What could.. What could you..

A soul.. You just need a soul, yes? You'd seen it more than once. The process of creation.

You lay your hands over Maddie's chest and take in a deep breath. I'll.. Just need to give her.. "One of them.. Right?"

Alice peers at you, her curiosity intense," Bondomu, what are you.."
You shush the girl and concentrate... entering that inner world, even as you push back the influence of the Memory...
>>
>>26539094
My god.

Duke. You are the luckiest son of a bitch when it comes to perfect story coincidences.
>>
>>26539246
"if separate we would destroy our bond, then together we will make it even stronger!"
>>
Within the wood, you see that the two moons have nearly overlapped entirely. A silver liming being the only thing the keeps it from completion.

Jacob and Claire had expected your arrival, and applaud you upon your entry.
~Very good.. You don't let your family down,~ Speaks Claire.
/You come to us.. for a favor? Right?/ Jacob inquires, and you look to both of them.
"Madeleine requires a soul..

>Jacob: Should Jacob be the one, Faefnir's primary disguise will remain untouched. Maddie may gain an interest in farming.. And "Manlier" qualities..

>Claire: Your love of baking would remain untouched. Yet Jacob would take over as your primary power source over Claire. Maddy may develop a taste for baking, and an interest in the short lives of the homeless...

Baking. Tart. The joke writes itself.

>>26539312
Unfortunately, I pick [x]Jacob.
I associate "manlier qualities" with aggression, and I feel like it swings better to her personality.

Madeleine is our friend, she is not our doll to mold into Baker-waifu. Jacob suits her.

>>26539312
in all honesty Jacob's rougher nature suites Maddie
>>
>>26539386
So let's track all the changes that Madeleine has gone through in her life. She started as an Exorcist who died, got her soul tossed into an Akuma body by her own sister whose skin she wore. Then she found her old Innocence and she became an Exorcist/Akuma while gaining bits of her old self back, and now she died, Ariel and Teresa, her original soul and body, have left, while the pure Akuma personality bit went into the Core, which we're putting a Male Noah into.

There is literally nothing Human in her now, aside for the Noah soul being kinda Humany.

This is totally awesome and she might have issues.

Also, a psychologist would have a field day with our relationship.
>>
Giving away Jacob's soul seems like the winning choice.
>>
>>26539465
Freud approves of this.
>>
does this mean that with whichever soul we give here, she becomes a noah with us?
>>
>>26539488

Oh god.. so it's so late. But I must see what happens to our comrade.
>>
>>26539488
I would think so. Both halves of Bondomu are awakening right now and if there's a Noah in each you should get both of them.

We are not changing our name to Faefleine or Madnir. Though Madnir is far better than Faefleine.
>>
"Jacob." You point at the luminous man between the two.
"I'd have you become the source of Maddie's power. And through that, bring us closer together. Will you comply? with my request?"

Jacob looks to Clairem and she, to him, as they've done more often as of late. Words without voice.

She ends up Nodding, yet He's hesitant," You must swear to me that we will always be together. It is the only solace I've had in my death.. And.." He looks back to her," The memory is still encroaching upon us.. I fear what might happen if we are apart.."

You shake your head at that as the stars in this dream-like sky spin more rapidly than they've ever before," You need not fear this, For I will never let it happen.."

Jacob approaches you with his body of light and puts a hand upon your shoulder," You've become.. a very respectable... creature Faefnir.. Your will is mine."

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

You awaken and let Jacob's soul drip into the empty vessel with a touch of your hand upon her core. Finally, you give her a shock of pure dark energy t start her up.

Once.. No reaction..
Second... No reaction...

You start to feel Jacob's Absence take its tll on you.. Your magic becoming.. less than complete.. Your mind fogging over slightly from the lack of dual-soul processors.. What if you had a Quad-soul? Must run like a dream..

A third pulse of dark energy and the newly constructed Madeleine takes a deep breath, awakening.

In a daze, she takes frenzied breaths wgile staring att he darkening sky... Before slowly letting her eyes sink down upon you.. Her eyes wide, yet her smile grows wide and almost knowing," Oh.. Hello there.. Faefnir.. Miss me?"

>End Thread

>>26539635
Looking forward to it.

And yes, we did miss Madeleine. Now we can go murdering together like we used to.

Gonna miss them dual-soul processors, but I think Awakened Noah will make up for that. Before we had bits and pieces of the Noah Memory, slivers from it, now we have the full thing.

I wonder if we could have set Madeleine on a triple-soul processor if we crammed Ariel and Teresa in as well.
>>
>>26539635
I had an excellent time, Duke. I am looking forward to see what the ramifications of our actions here will have in the future.

Also, Duke. When you update the pastebin, you should consider making a new one. Just so that archival readers don't end up getting spoiled on what happened here.

I am speaking about the Family pastebin, that is. And maybe the Faefnir pastebin as well.

Can't have anyone knowing who the Noah of Bonds is before it's even revealed in the story.
