You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.Yesterday was horrible.While not -quite- the worst day of your life, it was still pretty high up there... but it's a new day and you're finally going to be heading back home!>Congratulations, you are once again an unruly WOLF!>Wolves are cool and powerful... and also rather dangerous.>The Princess considers you to be her friend!>But while wolves are really cool, they still don't count as people.Thread archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestCharacter list + descriptions (in progress):http://pastebin.com/1Vhj4DJvList and descriptions of the spells shown thus far:http://pastebin.com/2c9y2sDMTwitter:https://twitter.com/QM_ArchelonQuest compilation that's kindly maintained by a person who isn't me:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4nhs9gd0kmnnni/04tpEy5_pe>>>>>>>>
"Ow!"A sharp pain shoots through your side, shocking you awake... what the hell, did someone stab you with a pencil or something? With a groan of annoyance at that most unpleasant way to wake up, you brush your band against the site of your injury and then hold it up into view... great, no blood.And then you realize just what it was that stabbed you- you forgot to take the bracelet off before you went to sleep, and it's now covered in some downright horrific-looking spikes.You can't remember what the hell you were dreaming about, but it must have been something horrible.With a bit of concentration, the spikes recede... but instead of going back to its normal bracelet shape, it's wrapping itself around your wrist like some sort of thin bracer.What a way to start the day.>try and get the bracelet back to normal>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymore>[OTHER]
>>31131280>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymoreIt has a built in alarm clock? neat.

>>31131280>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymoreBitch, that's not how you're supposed to wake someone up. Well at least its starting on its path to sentience.
>>31131280>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymoreI can't tell if Tina was just being a helper and waking us up from a bad dream, or if it was trying to murder us. Either way its clearly grumpy and I don't want to mess with it.
Rolled 9>>31131280>>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymore
>>31131280>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymoreFor a combatant, a bracer is going to be a more natural resting point than a decorative bracelet, so this is probably just another subconscious acclimation to our mental state.If it starts assimilating more metal in order to sneak further and further up our arm like a second skin, then we can start to worry.
>>31131280>leave it as it is, at least it's not stabbing you anymore
>>31131395Oh god, it's going to consume everything around us and continue to grow.WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

>writing
>>31131540what reference am i not getting
>>31131597My bad spelling alluding to Akira
>>31131616don't worry about your spelling, i wouldn't have got it seeing as i've never seen it
>>31131637You should get on that
>>31131637It's a classic, you need to see it.
>>31131637that's fucked up man
>>31131679>>31131705>>31131716Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that wasn't that impressed by Akira.
>>31131759You probably are.
>>31131759Are you dead inside?
>>31131679>>31131705>>31131716tried watching it once. my big brother stopped it since it was to violent or had tits or something and made me promise not to watch it without his okay and yada yada yada we haven't spoken in about 17 years
>>31131769>>31131786not the guy but personally I felt it was visually impressive and had a fabulous soundtrackbut I thought everything else was subparthe plot wasn't very engaging and the only character I grew to at least accept was CANADA
>>31131801Assuming you were young, then it was probably for the better, it is pretty disturbing.
>>31131801what kind of big brother would act like that?
>>31131834the kind i haven't spoken to in 17 years
>>31131801Loophole time. Read the manga the film was adapted from. Unless you hate the medium you will not be disappointed.
>>31131769>>31131786I am the guy you're replying to. I'm not saying it was terrible but people kept talking about how great it was then when I watched it it didn't live up to the hype. I might have liked it more if people hadn't kept telling me to watch it.And, yes I'm dead inside.
>>31131280Admittedly I'm late, but I just wanted to say I fucking told you people that Tina was going to start growing and try into kill us eventually!
Eh, at least it's not stabbing you anymore. Opting not to mess around with the stupid thing for now since it's not in the way, you hop out of the bed and walk over to the window and open it to get some fresh air.And then you immediately regret doing so because holy crap it's cold out there. Probably because it's the crack of dawn. Or maybe because winter isn't too far off.After making sure that that window is shut TIGHTLY, you get bathed and dreaaed, do a final check of your things to decide what you'll be carrying with you in the carriage and what's going to be placed in the cargo section, and then make your way into the living room.Just as Marianne's walking out of her own bedroom. She really does get up early...>greet the Princess!
>>31131847You stopped talking to your brother for 17 years because he showed you Akira?>>31131848The only thing I didn't like about the manga was the pseudo-philosophical considerations out of nowhere at the end.>>31131888>"Slept well?"
>>31131888Well that's going to get deleted and reported once he catches the spelling error.
>>31131888>you get bathed and dreaaed
>>31131901>MangaAdmitedly I'm in the beginning of volume 5 so I can't comment on that, I'm just loving how much more expansive it feels than the movie.
>>31131901Just gonna throw this out here but we should probably tell her Taka got back in one piece. I seem to recall her going to bed before we found out.
>>31131888>greet the Princess!"good morning, slept well?"
>>31131886tina's just jealous that we're with luci instead of her. pic very related>>31131888something about how she didn't need to wait for us to leave her bedroom. gotta make sure we have our lame morning joke>>31131901i stopped talking to him because he's a failure at life
>>31131930Actually, wait, he was missing his arm. So I guess he didn't come back in one piece.
>>31131930Ummm... Taka was missing a limb. So he didn't really come back in one piece.Also we did tell her he was alive last night
>>31131953do not make this our morning joke, it's too grim
>>31131960I thought we only told Luci.
>>31131888>dreaaed"Sleep well?"
>>31131948>something about how she didn't need to wait for us to leave her bedroom. gotta make sure we have our lame morning jokeThis, in addition to my >>31131901 "Slept well?"Also we should probably give her 5 minutes before talking about Taka.
>>31131960>lost a limbThey grew it back!
>>31131888"Slept well? I hope you didn't mind that picture i drew last night."
>>31131948>tina's just jealous that we're with luci instead of her. pic very relatedI'm sure something could be worked out
>>31132001Maybe they won't be able to this time.Does "missing a limb" count as fine? Because we told Luciana he would be fine and it would be kind of a downer for her to expect Takamaru intact and find him without his most important member.If they can't heal him, they're gonna have a shorthand of bodyguards soon.
>>31132017Speaking of drawing, we need to do one of a cute looking Luci commanding chibi versions of Magma Leviathan and Aqua Salamander.
>>31132082With Taka fishing by her side.
>>31132040yes, i'm sure the polymorphic elemental that is connected to our very mana/soul and is about to become the one thing we've kept by our side our entire life is going to be willing to share
>>31132063docs flat said they could do it>>31132082or of mari tickling lucimore tina pics
>>31132100Give her some feldsparbitches love feldspar
>>31132118We have yet to draw that one. I was referring to the pic of Marianne in armor and holding a halberd.
If we had gone Marie route, how would Thierri have gone about the "keep your hands where I can see them" lecture that Celestino and his sons gave?
>>31132203He would have encouraged Rein to not keep his hands where he can see them.
>>31132203probably much the same, except Thierri would keep his eyes on us ALL the time. Celestino will not have that luxury.
>>31132203knowing thierri he'd probably have a giant tablecloth put at our breakfast table just so there'd be more places for our hands not to be seen (pic related). i see him as being more than willing to ship us and mari
>>31132272shit, forgot to spoiler
>>31132272Those are some freakishly long arms.
Rolled 17>>31132272>>31132295What the hell is wrong with you?! Not even /d/eviants are into stuff that fucked up!
>>31132203You and I both know how he'd react.
>>31132319Teeheee XD so lewd and funnah.Don't post that shit XD XD
>>31132309For a centaur?
>>31132272Yeah, I can see him facilitating things. I can also see him casually mention that if Rein knocked Marie up it'd be his only child, but generally I think Thierri'd be very supportive.
>>31132203>Implying it wasn't his master plan but he fell right into Celestino's keikaku
>>31132203Thierri would say it once and then let things go as they would. He raised Marianne not to be an easy girl, and trusts her implicitly.Gregory would be the scary one in that situation.
>>31132409wait i thought greg shipped us and niko and would prefer us over melon since we can give him grandkids
>>31132429I mean if you picked Marianne route.They may not get along very well but he's still extremely protective of her.
>>31132409>Gregory would be the scary one in that situation.I feel like the second part of this phrase is superfluous.>>31132429It has nothing to do with that. Marianne and him don't get along (anymore), but it's still his duty as a distant uncle and her father's friend to remind Reinhold to not fuck up and pop her cherry before marriage if he get with her.
>>31132459ah, my bad, thought you meant he'd tell us to keep our hands to ourself with niko
Rolled 31>>31132429>>31132429that's the scary part he wants grand kids and then we would need to have S E X
So PGQ, who's your favorite character?
>>31132489Nico.
>>31132489Tetsuo!
>>31132465>Implying Mari or Reinhold could have sexIt'd be the purest marriage, where they sleep in different beds in different sections of the house.
>>31132489Tina
>>31132489Depends. Takamaru is the broest, Nicolette is probably the most entertaining, and Karel just seems like the most interesting in general. But I like most of them, though with such a large cast they don't all get a chance to shine.
>>31132409What about Vincent?
>>31132521Stop kidding yourself, they'd sleep in different houses, probably in different countries.
"Good morning," you say, waving to the Princess. "You didn't need to wait for me to leave my room first, you know.""I thought it would be a decent change of pace from every other day we've been here," Marianne replies.Well she's as sharp as ever."Anyways," she sighs, "you seem to be in a good mood this morning.""Good enough, I guess," you reply with a shrug."Well let's hope that today will be better than yesterday," she says as she strolls over to the couch and takes a seat. "I hope that Gerhard returned safely...">[1/?]
>>31132465you know, a small part of me wants to tell him about millien just to see the bad end where we die from the shockwave/radiation poisoning created by his attack>>31132521>different sections of the house.same section, different rooms, just like it is now. can't be to far away or else we can't guard
>>31132529For some reason I suspect Angelique would be the scariest one in that situation.>>31132543Gerhard x Marianne OTP.
>>31132543Cue info bombing the princess in 3... 2... 1...
>>31132542>Make eye contact>Both recoil in shock while mumbling varying mantras revolving around 'muh trauma'>Writhe on the floor in agony for awhile>Eventually get up>Repeat tomorrow>Hot lesbian sex going on in the next room
>>31132565>Angeliquei forget who this is. is it the lewd elemental from the interlewd
>>31132589She's Sylvie's mother and Thierri's cousin and appeared for maybe 5 minutes in a Sylvie interlude.
>>31132614So she's already going to be really scary toward us.
>>31132543That's right, Marianne was asleep when you got back last night so you weren't able to tell her."He came back with Takamaru last night, actually," you say. "R- really!?" Marianne exclaims."Yeah," you nod. "Me and Alberto were there to see them in, and I helped them to the infirmary.""Oh thank goodness," she says, breathing a sigh of relief. "They weren't too hurt, were they?"Just thinking about those injuries makes you a bit queasy."Takamaru got the worst of it," you say, "but Gerhard just busted up his arm from punching a hole in-"No, she doesn't need to hear the gory details."Hm?" Marianne looks at you with a puzzled expression."A- anyways, the doctor said that they'll both be fine so you don't have to worry," you say, forcing a smile."I see," she nods. "well, thank you for telling me. Now I have one less thing to worry about... perhaps you should tell Luciana as well, I know she was worried about Takamaru.""I actually told her last night," you reply.Why is she looking at you like that.>[2/3]
>>31132746I'm faulting Marie on this.She should know better already.
>>31132746Isn't she ALWAYS looking at him like that?
>>31132746Man, why is her mind always in the gutters?
>>31132789Princesses man, Princesses
>>31132789It's the Milien touch.
>>31132789well mari does real a lot, and we know sylvie's little sister was corrupted by a book, and we don't know where said book came from
>>31132804"corrupted"oh come on, i think "had a whole new world opened to her" is more adapted
>>31132804Wait, isn't Marianne mostly reading historical epics?Does she have yaoi about Alsiradna and his brother?
>>31132848I dunno about this world, but real historical epics are often really lewd if you think about it.
>>31132489Rana
>>31132848>mostlylike you've never stuck a porno in between the pages of a text book. even in the modern day girls take the cover off of one book and slip it onto fifty shades. mari does the same thing, which is going to lead to some awkwardness when we get her to lend us the book about that water spirit she's descended from
>>31132909have to askwhat the fuck is that from?
>>31132746>[3/3]"C'mon," you say with an exasperated sigh. "You know it wasn't like that.""If you say so," Marianne smiles evilly. "but I suggest that you try and be more cautious when we get back home... someone who saw you entering Luciana's room late at night and didn't know you as well as I do might get the wrong idea.""I'll keep that in mind," you say with a nervous laugh."And speaking of which, have you finished packing? We have maybe four hours or so before we leave so I suggest that you do so if you're been putting it off.""Finished up the last of it right after I woke up," you reply. "I'm all ready to do.""...oh."Looking kind of disappointed that she can't tease you for being unprepared, Marianne leans back on the couch and opens the book that she was holding."I guess all that's left to do is wait for breakfast then," the Princess says. "Though it'll be about an hour...">go out and do something>stay in here and bug Marianne
>>31132939>go out and do somethinggo and ask our girlfriend if she wants to eat with us
>>31132939>go out and do somethinggo see if luci is awakepossibly sneak in her room and wake her up
>>31132939stay in read
>>31132926It's a /tg/ character from waaaaay back.
>>31132939>go out and do somethingshould we not go and check in on Taka and Gerhard?
>>31132939I really don't like it when you post that picture, Arch.>>31132963>>31132965Maybe this. I suppose it's too early to go visit Takamaru?
>>31132939>go out and do somethingWe should check on Taka. I'm guessing he's still in the infirmary, magic or not I imagine regrowing an arm warrants an overnight stay.Also, if Luci isn't already there she will be shortly, checking on him is probably the first thing on her agenda today.

>>31133062thisalso, while i'm all for a feast, what will everyone besides us, nico, sylvie, and rana eat (feel free to work that lame joke in arch)
>>31133083>what will everyone besides us, nico, sylvie, and rana eatThe same meals?
>>31133100i was attempting to make a lame joke about the four of us eating an entire feast on our own
>>31133083i have an idea on what melon is going to eat... ehehehehehe
Stay here and bother Marianne
>>31133119considering how stupidly hard i just laughed at that i think i may need sleep, but i'm not going to get it
>>31133119Do you think Gregory intimidated the poor girl about doing shit like that?
"We're gonna have lots of guests when we get back, huh..." you say out loud."Yes," Marianne nods. "Our castle won't have had this many royals living in it since my Grandfather's time on the throne."Right now there's... Marianne and her father. Huh."Do you have anything planned since we have so much company?" you ask."Like what?" Marianne shakes her head. "It's not like this is a happy occasion, and Luciana's the only one who I'll likely be spending any time with while they're staying with us... provided that you don't monopolize her time, anyways.""C'mon, you know that I wouldn't do that.""...and my other best friend ended up with Nicolette somehow so I'm sure that she'll want to spend more time with her now as well..." >[1/?]
>>31133348Is she-Is she asking us to find her a boyfriend?
>>31133360why would she need to? emelio's coming with us
>>31133360No. The clear solution is to get her to spend time with Sylvie. They can both wallow in loneliness together.
>>31133348I know there's no suggestion box, but you should probably reassure her that Melanie isn't gonna let her down.And maybe lament ourselves that we're caught between Luciana and Sylvie.>>31133360Unless she suddenly fall for Reya (or Thierri pulls a Peau d'Âne) I don't think we'll meet the future Prince Consort in this quest.
>>31133360I want to ask her that now.
>>31133360>implying drama romance shit won't happen and end up with Marianne in the end of the questwe toradora now
Rolled 16>>31133360>Is she-Is she asking us to find her a boyfriend?Nah, she's asking us to be her male concubine. Every princess has one.
>>31133475So Nico is gonna be Luciana's?And Karel Emilio's?
>>31133449SHHHH! You're giving away my plans!...I say when I usually only get to read the quest from archives due to work schedule.

>>31133526Tell her we asked Karel to stop pushing Emilio on to her last night

"And if you -really- want, maybe I could try and find you a-"Your sentence is ended by one of the cushions on the pillow hitting you right in the face."Sorry, bad joke," you say as you hold your throbbing face."A VERY bad joke," Marianne replies, glaring at you."I'm not interested in looking for a guy or anything, so forget any stupid plans you might have had to set me up with Emilio, okay? Don't think that I haven't noticed how you've become fast friends with Karel, and don't think that I haven't noticed -him- pushing Emilio to talk to me every chance he gets.">[2/?]
>>31133519we can do this anonwe can route change Marianne best girl. Luciana is also best
>>31133567Karel went to apologize right after talking to us last night.
>>31133580"For what it's worth I suggested Carel could reign back on that a little bit.Something something."
Rolled 18>>31133587Why not have both?
>>31133580Maybe you're not looking for a guy, but how about a girl?
>>31133587Royal Threesome route! They are best friends already it could totally work.
>>31133580>pillow hitting you right in the face>hold your throbbing faceGirl's got an arm on her.
>>31133601Because Thierri, Celestino, and Gregory.
>>31133601Man, I don't want both though.I just want drama and change of heart so Marianne end can happen.
>>31133611Luciana does not share.The only thing of that nature that could he possibly worked is with Nicolette/Melnie/Reinhold. And that's a big "if."
>>31133615Eh, invite them too! The more the merrier!
>>31133613Considering her father, that's not an inaccurate statement.
>>31133615actually, celestino may think to use this as a way to unite the kingdoms, thierri may just stay out of it due to trusting mari so much, and gregory would just paste us
>>31133632Which one would be the mistress though.
>>31133654reinhold
>>31133662
>>31133632Was Karel even an option?
>>31133672Yes.Alas, it was not to be.
>>31133632YOU CAN'T JUST GO SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT!
>>31133632That's why we must make her realize that Marianne needs Reinhold more.Really, I should just watch Toradora again if I wanted to see this happen.
>>31133662>Trauma>Erectile disfunctionWorst mistress ever>>31133682You either make that VN or write out all ending scenes

>>31133682i like karel and all but her route is kind of incesty for my tastes. she's our almost-adopted-father's might-as-well-be-a-brother-best-friend's illegitimate-son-daughter, which makes her our sort-of-cousin. and i know lots of people have awkward boners for their cousins but it's still bad to act on.plus we'd be cock blocking emilio
Rolled 1>>31133706>gingerFucking gingers have no souls man.
>>31133654Nicolette would be the legal wife since Gregoey wants his (legitimate) grandbabies while Melanie is the mistress for both of them.And now I have sads because I won't get to write that.
>>31133730Why not? there's always the VN after stories.You're doing after stories right?
>>31133730Text files of Alternate Ends exist for a reason.Gods above know how many variations some of my works have for fun.
>>31133730You will in the VN, right? *puppy dog eyes*
>>31133719>Incest>Our not even adopted father's best friend's illegitimate daughter who's he's never even met
>>31133719Hmm, you're right, that hypothetical non-biological non-relation is far too incestuous.Childhood Friend never wins, even when the childhood friendship never even happened. The curse remains strong.
>>31133696wait when you say mistress do you mean "woman on the side" or do you mean "female equivalent of a master in the bdsm crowd"? if former, he can easily be stimulated regardless of trauma and ED, as his past and spinelle showsif latter than yes he'd suck
>>31133751for rein, that's a really close relationship
>>31133754>wait when you say mistress do you mean "woman on the side" or do you mean "female equivalent of a master in the bdsm crowd"?>if former, he can easily be stimulated regardless of trauma and ED, as his past and spinelle shows
I don't see Reinhold getting into a ménage à trois unless he's guilt-tripped into it.And Melanie doesn't look like she'd be willing to share the Nico.
>>31133791did you forget what morning melon is like? she'd do it just to mess with nico
>>31133580Marianne is definitely perceptive... though for Karel's sake you're glad that she's not as perceptive as Gerhard."Don't worry, I wasn't considering anything like that," you say. "And I kind of asked Karel to ease up on that when we were talking last night, too.""...oh." Marianne looks surprised. "Thanks.""I was just thinking that maybe we could all have a big dinner or something...""You know that Nicolette and Sylvie would eat all of the food before anyone else could get anything, right?" she shakes her head. "And you being there would only make things worse.""Not to mention Rana..." you laugh.Chances are that she could eat as much as the lor of you combined."I'm sure that Father will have -something- set up to commemorate this 'joyous occasion,'" Marianne says, "but I've given up on trying to predict what he'll do a long time ago."Marianne then leans on the arm of the couch and flips through her book."As stimulating as this conversation has been, I'd like to finish this book before we leave so that I'll be able to start on a new one on the ride home. You can go ahead and do whatever in the meantime, you've earned a break after everything that we went through yesterday.">what will you do now?
>>31133885BOOK.READ.EAT BOOK WHEN DONE.
>>31133885Ask at the infirmary if Luciana can come visit.
>>31133885>Thanks MarieSounds like it's time to go check if Karel's chat went out alright, that or we could go train our magic with Luci.
>>31133885Check in on Gerhard and TakaAsk if Luci wants to join
>>31133885>as the lor of you>loralso, time for more prosegana please
>>31133885We should probably see Gerhard and Takamaru, and if possible we should see our Grandma before we leave, though she might come to see us off.
>>31133885Look into the departure preparations. We're NOT safe until we're back in Granache.
>>31133939as much as i'd like some prosegana shit this is probably the best option. these guys have taken out two knights, taka, and gerhard. we should be in full body guard mode
>>31133939That's definitely a good idea, sit down and figure out where which roads we're taking and familiarizing ourselves with what we should expect on the way back, even last time ended up with a Lindworm, we can't take it easy this time.Changing my vote from >>31133921>>31133954>Llana

>>31133932I think we're still supposed to stay in the castle, so going to see Grandma is out. She could come here, though it would expose her.>>31133921We'll see how Karel and Emilio are doing the next time we meet them.

>>31133973Good, good, you're half way there.Third time's the charm?
>>31133988OHSEEDEE
Wait, we fended off dozens of ninjas and we're "timid" and "skittish"?Also what the fuck Arch, how are we even supposed to become a real boy at this rate?

>>31133885>lor of you combined.i'm guessing that was supposed to be "four"
>>31134019wait no, here the only ones referenced are us, nico, and sylvie, so that would only be three. don't know what lor is supposed to be then
>>31134044lot, as in "the lot of you" I'd imagine.
>>31134046please be military tactics option, we could talk to greg about it and make sure he can keep thierri in the carriage
>>31134056thank you for pointing that out for me
So since we'll be returning to the castle soon... has anyone put any thought in to how Reinhold will survive Vincent when he finds out about Sylvie being led on and getting heart broken?
>>31134106Gotta get back to the castle first. But really, the only hope is that Sylvie comes to terms by then (HAH!) and doesn't overblow it to Vincent.
Why don't we have a shield? Protects people, also shield bash.
>>31134106i've tried but i honestly can't think of a way. all i got is hoping that our small talk with sylvie had an affect in some measurable amount
>>31134106I was thinking we stand behind the princesses for until Vincent dies of old age, maybe someone has a better idea though.
>>31134106He doesn't have a lot of leverage by himself. The best he can hope for is for Sylvie to not paint him as a complete asshole and for Vincent to understand that sometimes teenagers break each other's heart.Sylvie did say she doesn't hate him. She's just really angry right now and want things to defuse before she can forgive him.>>31134131Too inconvenient.
>>31134131Debates over our chosen equipment are long over. It doesn't match with our fighting style and magic trumps.
>>31134129There's always fessing up after things have settled down and telling him straight up we fucked up. I imagine that will still be a painful experience but it'd probably be better than hoping he doesn't find out (and being wrong).
>>31133954>>31133973>>31133989I still love you, Arch
>>31134106>we'll be returning to the castle sooni honestly laughed at that
>>31134106We got hide in the science cave. I'm sure Nik has developed anti-Vincent preventative measures since Vincent beat him up that one time.
>>31134171after niklas's fight with sylvie vincent kicked his ass again and said if he healed he'd just kick his ass again
>>31134171This. We'll just discuss bracelet and do science until godmode is achieved.But seriously either hoping it resolves itself by the time we get back or manning up and telling Vincent in abstract terms what happened is the best bet.
>>31134147A spell based on creating a floating shield to guard and bash doesn't sound too farfetched with things like fragment blader and some other spells we've seen. There's also the possibility of a weird crystalline bracer/shield/utility tool if our data proves useful to ye olde mad scientist. Though I do have to say I think Reinhold will be best served in improving his ability to use magic since from what we've seen the most effective warriors use it quite a bit (the King being the exception so far).
>>31134177Niklas has been working with the bears since than, trying to come up with a plan for vengeance.
>>31134177What is your point? That doesn't stop him from making his lab an alternate dimension or something after the fact. Or lacing everything in his lab with those reactive spikes.
>>31134189Hold up, he said HAVE a shield. I took that to mean a physical one. We have spell for magical shielding already.
Maybe we can shape Tina into Marianne's boyfriend.I CAN MAKE YOU A MAAAAAAN!>>31134193>the castle has been completely invaded by his experiments>finale part of the quest is survival horror against crystal bears>you lose point for every friend you have who dies before Monique comes to save the day
>>31134177Well duuuuuuh, he's got THAT up his sleeve for when shit gets real, but THAT only works once so of course he wouldn't use it over something as trivial as a minor punitive beating.
>>31134207Ah, that we do. I had forgotten about it.
>>31134210Sounds perfect for the VN. Could be a one-time only chibi button smasher with terrible graphics.
I still don't get the point of that fucking crystal, narrative-wise. Is it just there to become Reinhold and Luciana's "child"?
"I guess I'll see you in an hour then," you say as you head for the door."There's no need to rush, it's not like I'll eat your breakfast if you're late," Marianne replies, looking at you from over the top of her book."No, I'd expect that more from Nicolette," you reply with a smirk.With that, you make your way out into the hallway and to your next destination... the infirmary. While the doctors did say that they'd be okay, that nagging feeling in the back of your mind isn't going to go away until you can see for yourself that both of them are alright and with their injuries fully healed.>head to the infirmary alone>go and see if Luciana wants to come along with you
>>31134258>go and see if Luciana wants to come along with youMay as well.
>>31134258>go and see if Luciana wants to come along with you
>>31134258>head to the infirmary aloneI dont see any reason to go to her for this. She will come and visit as soon as she get a chance so let her do it on her own time.
So who are we going to meet in the hallways this time?
>>31134323Nico, we haven't got to talk to her for a while now, not to mention she's best girl
"Rana..." a soft voice calls out to me. "Rana, wake up...""Mmmmm... but it's so comfy here..." I mumble since I really don't want to get up."C'mon, we're leaving today and you need to get ready too!"And then I find myself rapidly rocking back and forth and back and forth-"Okay, I'm getting up!" I groan as I bat away the hands of whoever it is that's shaking me like that.And then my hand is caught and I'm pulled to my feet."God damn it, Reya..." I say, shaking away the hand and glaring at my little bro- "...oh. Sylvie. Hey.""Hey," Sylvie says, a slight frown on her cute face. "I already took a bath so you can use my bathroom if you want... I don't think you want to use Melanie's since she's kind of um-""Yeah, I know what you're alluding to," I say with a nervous laugh.Tried that shit the other morning and ended up getting groped first thing in the morning... I doubt Nicolette would be happy if she found out about that.>[1/?]
>>31134369Melanie you fucking hypocrite. Why are you such a slut?
>>31134369See guys? Look at all the misadventures we're missing out on because you had to jump on the fucking firecrotch.
>>31134379Hey don't blame me, I wanted Nico
>>31134377Melanie is weird in the morning.
>>31134369"Crap, but I don't have a change of clothes," I mumble. It's kind of a waste to take a shower only to put on the same dirty clothes from the previous day, especially since it's what I was wearing when I killed all those guys."You can borrow some of mine," Sylvie replies. "I'm pretty sure that we're the same size.""You're too kind!" I say, giving her a big hug before I run off to the bathroom.Yeah... I really missed getting to take long hot baths like this. We're on the road most of the time so the best I can do is a quick river bath. Those are never satisfying, but this is HEAVEN. I hope the facilities in Granache are as nice...Sylvie's clothes fit pretty well on me, though I'm not really one for long skirts like this. While I'd MUCH prefer to have a nice pair of shorts like I usually wear, beggars can't be choosers.... at least it's a cute outfit.I think I'll leave out the hat though.>[2/?]
>>31134391Rana is gonna rip off Sylvie's clothes the next time she transform.
>>31134391As I leave the bathroom, I walk past Sylvie as she finishes packing up her stuff and head back to the couch that I was just passed out on......and just as I sit down, I'm treated to an eyeful of Melanie and Nico making out. Or rather, Melanie putting the moves on Nico while the latter makes a weak attempt to get out of it.Ha, I can't blame her.Buuuut I suppose that it -is- kinda rude to sit back and enjoy the show, so I retreat back into Sylvie's room before they can notice."...they're still at it, huh," Sylvie says, turning to me as I walk through the doorway."Yeah, I decided to give the ladies their privacy," I reply with a wide smile. "You need any help packing?""No, I'm just about done," she shakes her head. "You can still hide out in here until they're done doing... that, though," she sighs.>[3/?]
>>31134457You march right back out there and start making cat calls, young lady.
>>31134457Meh
>>31134457Being Rana is suffering.
>>31134457Lewd Melanie is Lewd
Rana just want a true love kiss so that she can turn into a prince.Drunk kiss don't count.
>>31134476Being Sylvie is suffering
>>31134457Sylvie was pretty upset when Reya told us that me and him would be accompanying King Celestino's kids to Granache... I honestly expected her to blow up at someone, but she just kind of sat in a corner and sulked until it was time to go to sleep."Still feeling crappy?" I ask."What do you think?" Sylvie replies, turning around to face me before taking a seat on her bed. "I thought that at least things would be kind of back to normal when we got back home, but now -she's- following us too... even if Reinhold doesn't like me the way that I like him, I was hoping that at least we'd be able to hang out like we used to but now I'm sure that they'll be together all the time and Nicolette's going to want to do the same with Melanie so there goes two of my three friends..."Well of course I'm going to be there so-"...and Marianne's best friends with Luciana so if I want to be around her then I'm going to have to put up with that bitch too so now I might as well just stay at home with my mother or something.">[4/?]
>>31134492You lost me.
>>31134530>"there goes two of my three friends...">Well of course I'm going to be there so->"...and Marianne[...]"Top kek. I expect Rana to blow up at least a little.>>31134536"Rana" is a genus of frogs.
>>31134530"You want a hug?" I ask as I walk over to the bed and sir down next to Sylvie. "You look like you need a hug.""Rana..." Sylvie shakes her head. "I know that Nicolette and I are best friends, but I'm not like her.""Huh?"I'm not into girls." Sylvie looks me right in the eyes. "At all."Whoa, so she thought that I was trying to-"Hey, I'm not the kind of person who goes for girls on the rebound," I say with a long sigh. "I offered you a hug because I -thought- that we were friends... Hell, I'm even wearing your clothes right now! But if you only see me as a stranger, then..."As I get up to walk away, Sylvie grabs my wrist and pulls me back. She's pretty strong for a human.>[5/?]
>>31134530Sylvie that's silly. We can't bring a princess with us on our after-hours hijinks, and we've even got 1.5 rowdy dragons and Karel to add to the chaos.
>>31134568Well i guess that answers that question
>>31134568wow what a bitch
>>31134568*squish*
>>31134568>[6/6]"S- sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything," Sylvle mumbles. "I'm just feeling really crappy now, and I didn't want to bother anyone... Nicolette's finally together with Melanie and I don't want to dump all my emotional crap on her right now and spoil her mood when she has every right to be super happy...""And you can't bother Reinhold because he's the source of the problem," I reply, "and Princess Marianne is out of the question because she's best friends with the one who you're pissed at in the first place.""...yeah," she nods."Well you have my permission to dump all your problems on me," I say, crossing my arms and nodding like Dad does when he's trying to sound wise. "If we're -friends,- that is."Girl, I will MAKE you recognize me as your friend."...okay," Sylvie mumbles. "Only a friend would offer to listen to my whining like this, anyways.""Or someone who's trying to get into your pants," I wink. "But I just want to be your friend, so..."And without another word, I pull Sylvie into a gentle hug. Gotta be careful not to crush her, even if I'm pretty sure she's stronger than my little brother is.As Sylvie hugs me back and starts crying, I can't help but lament the fact that she's not into girls...
>>31134653Okay, who is Rana not attracted to?
>>31134662Celestino?
>>31134662yes.
>>31134662me ;_;
>>31134683Why would you want worst girl?
>>31134692>worst girl>not sylviewhat are you on? can you hook me up?
>>31134706It's called being right and it's a gift
>>31134725cmon man don't be like that you can share it come on just one hit be cool man
>>31134692Don't you mean third best?Marianne > Luciana > Rana > Karel = Melanie = Nicolette > Sylvie > The rest. That's my opinion at least, how would the rest of you rank the girls?
>>31134743>waifu warsand so it beginsnico is best gril
>>31134743>Marianne > Luciana >Nicolette > Sylvie > Melanie > Karel > Rana
>>31134763I think you mean Hisui.
>>31134743>Anyone > Sylvie.I can't complain.
>>31134653Now you've woken the drag/u/n.
>>31134763It doesn't have to be a war, why not just a friendly skirmish?>>31134773This was pretty much my opinion as well up until the last two or three days in game.
Seeing as how you're heading down to (hopefully) check on her friend and bodyguard, it makes sense to see if Luciana wants to join you. And so, you make the short trip down the hall to her room.KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK"Elena, is that you?" Luciana all out from the opposite side of the door."No, it's Reinhold," you shout back."Oh!"The door swings open immediately afterwards and you're met with the smiling face of Princess Luciana."Umm, good morning," Luciana says, her face slightly flushed. "I wasn't expecting to see you until later...""Well I was about to head down to the infirmary to check of Gerhard and Takamaru so I was wondering if you wanted to come along too," you reply. "...oh, and good morning to you too.""I was actually wanting to do just that, but I doubt that Father would be very happy about me wandering the castle grounds alone after yesterday... but if you're with me then I'm sure it'll be okay!" she says with a beaming smile.>talk about a thing along the way?
>>31134798Ask if she's excited to be staying at grachne and how she feels about getting to actually learn magic without all the secrecy.
>>31134791
>>31134798Maybe we could try talking about Emilio? How long has he been interested in Marianne, what is he like with his siblings, that kind of things.Or is that obnoxious?
>>31134798Talk to her about what it's like to grow up in a castle, or otherwise get to know her better.
>>31134798How she's feeling in general, how she's feeling about leaving now that its set in/things have settled somewhat.mix of>>31134831>>31134810
>>31134842We know how she's feeling now.>>31134831This isn't too bad.
>>31134831>>31134842Yep. Maybe ask if she's left the castle for long before. Or places she has been to.
Getting a headache so I think that's a good sign that I ought to call it a night.The next thread will probably be on Sunday night, though I'm not sure.And as always, thanks for playing!
>>31134907Cheers.
>>31134907Thanks for running, how's the VN stuff going? Making much headway/chosen an engine?
>>31134918Messing around with Ren'py at the moment (is there anything better to use?), and I have the first day's branches fully mapped out.That's pretty much it for now, though.
>>31134930This makes me very happy
>>31134930Ren'py's probably the easiest at any rate.Thought about bringing other people on to the project when you've finished the quest?Your hardest task will probably be finding at artist though honestly.
>>31134930>first day branches>do the sword trick>BAD END>try to give the proper greetings>BAD END
>>31134942I'd need an artist and music person at the very least... beyond that I haven't really given it much thought.
>>31134942Well he could always take the R07 approach...
>>31134956Well good luck either way.>>31134959Please no.
>>31134959No no no NO NO NONONONONO!
>>31134763Wow fuck off, Rana is the best grill, she doesn't even have to use magic or technology to cook anything.
>>31134972YES!
>>31132272Please don't use mangafox ever, or you are the worst scum and deserve to die.
>>31135997what's wrong with mangafox?
>>31136029They are leeching bastards. Just like us. I feel at home in that site.I just wish they didn't host so many low quality scans when better ones are available. I like their bookmark system too. That's why i follow my manga's there but read them on batoto when available because of higher quality and they share profits with scanlators.
>>31136029Basically they make obscene amounts of money profiting off of other people's free labour.And then denigrate the quality of that labour by hosting shittily-compressed, low-res versions of the scanlations.Basically the kind of people who should by all rights be skullfucked to death.
>>31136664I wish batoto dumped that stupid follows system they show in that tiny window and implemented a decent bookmark page.
>>31136029No worries. Manga Fox is dead.they got hit by a lawsuit and shut off all japan based manga. only korean and web toons are left there.
