If rolls are not involved, then some other penalty will be assigned. You have been warned.You are Micheal Hile, prince of the Central Empire, and you are hunting Canid for the first time with your father. Your ribs are sore and stinging terribly, your clothes are missing all their fasteners and are ready to slip off, your father's bodyguard has vanished entirely... And yet you find yourself grinning like an idiot as adrenalin races through you.The Canid stumbles away, arm missing. The bleeding has stopped from its many wounds, and it raises its hand. Black and purple light coalesce there, shimmering in the strangeness of its aura. Father cackles happily, hefting his blade as Annelin narrows her eyes and moves before you. Ja'al glides overhead, seemingly looking for a chance to strike. >What do you do?
>>31161332I don't know, try and circle around its armless side, move in to strike?
>>31161332Clarification on Penalize. If an OOC action does gain majority support, will it still be used (assuming it isn't random stupid, just more compassionate or ruthless than you'd expect from a given character) despite the penalty or will the course of action be ignored entirely? Not trying to be an asshole,must making sure I know exactly how this works.
>>31161519It's mostly so people don't do retarded shit like trying to have Ja'al swing around a greataxe. Social OOC actions will me modified into being in-character, to probably poor effect. But, yes - majority actions that gain support will still suffer. In fact, they will likely be the only ones to suffer, as PENALIZE now only affects posts that are taken.
>>31161332>Let Anne (what we're going to start calling Annelin to tease her) break whatever spell's getting chucked our way while trying to secure our pants so we don't trip over them when they inevitably fall down. Then dodge out from behind her towards the Canid's weak (armless) side and lay into it before falling back toward cover.
>>31161332>get behind ja'al and try to find something to use as a belt, then ready a counterattack
>>31161579>>31161399d100, please. Remember that you have five minutes in which all rolls count.
Rolled 14>>31161880Uh oh
Rolled 50>>31161880
Rolled 5>>31161880
Rolled 44>>31161880Nobody's rolling lol.
Rolled 78>>31161880
Rolled 24>>31161880
>>31161943>>31161927>>31161925Writing.Welp, seems almost everyone left.
Rolled 31>>31162005Yeah, 3-4 of those rolls were mine
>>31162015I really, really didn't need to know that.
>>31162015Yeah, I only roll once. It's a principle thing.
>>31162085I normally only roll once, but I feel like speedmind changes that, no idea why.
>>31162057If it makes you feel any better, I often have to roll in my own quest with my trip off, and I'm a way better QM than you.
>>31162119I am not sure whether this guy is trying to insult AG or himself
>>31162057It's possible that the whole "penalize" mechanic, and knowing that we're fucked due to missing foreshadowing in the past, isn't really endearing to players.Or it's just a bad time.
>>311620054chan X has a weird glitch on this update that just prevents it from updating some threads (had it happen only on /tg/ ) or maybe i just messed with it in a wrong way
>>31162152Porque no los dos?
>>31162119
>>31162057Don't worry, more people Will come
>>31162188>knowing that we're fuckedYou're not. I will never fucking put you into a position you can't win. It's never been my desire or yours to fail, so why would I? All that's happening is a different scenario. Why can't people just have fun with the things they get instead of screaming and raving about what might occur? Goddamn.Writing for real.
>>31162057I just noticed the thread was up sometimes it takes awhile to appear on catalog
>>31162188Eh, quest just started later than I'd expected so I wasn't looking for it.
>>31162287OP, are you doing ok today? Because if you need to take a small break to raise your blood sugar or work out some frustration on a punching bag or whatever that's fine.
>>31162287>Why can't people just have fun with the things they get instead of screaming and raving about what might occur?Haven't you run a lot of quests in the past? I'd think you'd be used to it by now.
>>31162287Bad experiences with other quests and even DnD type games?Also knowing that in the past we've essentially locked ourselves into bad end routes in your quest like in Breaker.And I guess part of it is just some of the constant seducer bombardment, and that Monica is headings towards villainy.
"The spell!""I know!" Annelin moves in in front of you, knocking the spell away - it strikes a tree some distance away, which vanishes. You dash out from behind her, legs moving wonderfully fast. You can move, you can really move. You've always been good at running away. A grimace slashes your face - Now you're good at running in! You slide under a weak backhand, slicing open his side again. Blood spurts, but the wound seals almost right away. Damnation, holding up the pants is limiting your options. Another evade, as Ja'al lets out a cry. You look up. The tree that vanished is now in the sky, plummeting towards you.>Writein>Ghost Manuever is active.
>>31162530Punch it
>>31162530Side roll.Also ditch the pants.
>>31162530Is the tree falling at an angle?Jump onto the tree as it falls, run up it, then leap off and go for the head.
>>31162530Tackle anyone about to get crushed by the thing out of the way?
>>31162530Ditch the pants, they only slow us down. Dodge the tree.
>>31162530Trip the wolfman so the tree lands on it?Also Gina is probably also gonna start falling so maybe warn Ja'al to get a featherfall spell ready.
>>31162603>implying anyone here other than michael in incompetent enough to get crushed by it
>>31162530dodge roll, get rid of pants
>>31162688Dropping trou seems pretty out of character for Michael (who I keep thinking of as "Niels" today for some reason) though...
>>31162688>>31162613>>31162575(Roll eschewed)You swear as you roll out of the way, forgetting the pants. You come out of the roll to watch the Canid to walk out of where the tree was falling, and it laughs with a strange huffing sound, then stops short. A golden light has suffused the area around you, shimmering. Annelin stops short, staring. {The benefactor is now of age.}What{Complete this trial. We shall speak shortly.}You narrow your eyes at the beast as it charges you, pure, unbridled fury in its eyes. Annelin moves as well, coming in at it from behind you.>Writein
>>31162784WhatThrow a knife in its eye.
>>31162806We are trying not to damage the head so that we can mount it on a wall.Then again, a wall mount of a werewolf with a knife sticking out of its eye would be pretty fucking badass.
>>31162784Law likes us. Yay?It out pants aren't still falling down, try to keep the Canid distracted and stab at any openings while Anne takes care of it.
>>31162806I'd rather aim for the back of its throat next time to roars at us. Much harder to pull out, might sever its spinal chord if we're lucky and should distract the hell out of it if we aren't. What with tripping its gag reflex and all.
>>31162784Make a move like we're going to attack from the left, then roll out of the.way, allowing Annelin to attack from the right.In other words, feint for the purposes of giving Annelin a chance to.make a decisive strike.
>>31162806>>31162978>>31162846d100, please.Throwing the knife into its maw.
Rolled 9>>31163023Triple critfail and we take out Annelin's eye?
Rolled 3>>31163023
Rolled 89>>31163023Oh gods.>>31163054>>31163059FFFFUCK
Rolled 66>>31163023Good choice of action.
Rolled 33>>31163023
Rolled 95>>31163023Hopefully it dies.
>>31163119Pretty sure it won't, but I'll settle for it being distracted as fuck.
>>31163119>>31163075>>31163085You toss your knife, hucking it with all your power at the beast as the mouth opens - and it slams into and throughthe back of its neck. The next few steps are simply momentum, as it sways and falls at your feet and you lean down. The spine was severed cleanly by sheer luck, and you sever it with Cutting. You rise with your gristly trophy, and your father laughs and lifts you up. Your grin is huge, enourmous - you doubt you'll ever forget this. The ground feels strange under your feet as you dress yourself, a rope as belt. You once- fine clothes are marred with mud and blood, torn open, and held up with a pauper's belt.And that is when it descends. A beautiful being with many wings, landing with care. An Angel of Law, weilding a slender straight sword.{Ye of the Hile Family, Inheritor of the Throne, Holder of the Mortal Law's future. Do I speak to thee?}Annelin blinks and points, and the angel, acting as if no mistake had been made, turns to you.{Ye of the Hile Family, Inheritor of the Throne, Holder of the Mortal Law's future. Do I speak to thee?}>Writein
>>31163374Yes, why have you come to visit me?
>>31163374>point to dad
>>31163374"Yes.""If you want me to go save the world or something, please wait a week or two. I wanna get my jam on before I potentially die."
>>31163374"yes, i can hear you."let it speak first, it sounds like it wants to.
>>31163374"I am Michael Hile of the Central Kingdom. Do you have a name I may greet you with?"
>>31163374So, I'm guessing this is who dad promised our virginity to?
>>31163374"Wrong number."
>>31163521Giving our true name, by our own tongue, to an angelic being...I really hope soul binding isn't a thing in this setting. Kind of guessing it is.
>>31163374"I am of the Hile family, but whether I will become the inheritor of the throne has not been determined. Perhaps this conversation needs wait until that matter has been settled? If not, what have you come to speak of, oh majestic one?"
>>31163570I'd be immensely surprised if it didn't already know our name.
>>31163631That is technically true.
>>31163521>>31163429>>31163488"I am Micheal Hile of the Central Empire. Do you have a name?"{The Servants of Law bear no names, for with names come pride.} it states. {You may call me Nortatem.}Annelin scoffs. "My father read me the Old Scripts." she says solidly, crossing her arms. "Voice of Law, and the Bearer of Names. You don't need to hide."A significant pause. {The Servants of Law bear no names, for with names come pride.} it states, as if it didn't hear her. {You may call me Nortatem.} Annelin throws up her arms in exasperation. "Right. What do you wish to speak with me about, Nortatem?"{Since ages past, the Hile family has made a covenant with Law. In exchange for prosperity and peace once they had secured their place in the world, Law asked through me for their rulers to hold him as their Lord, their God, and their Savior in a time of need. As you are to take the throne is some time, or at least aim to, I approach you to remind you of this Covenant, and to ask you to consider its weight. The one I speak for cannot force you to one knee before him.}>Writein
>>31163631On second thought, swap "Messenger of Law" for "majestic one."
>>31163661"Clearly I have much to discuss with my father. I thank you for your message construct and bid you a safe return to your master's house."
>>31163661"Consider me reminded."
>>31163661Only if you get your shit together and stop all these gods damned daemonic incursions.
>>31163730This. Law has done a pisspoor job as our protector thus far. In fact, Raev has done more for us than he ever has.
>>31163661>>31163730>>31163784Shouldn't we be asking what Law has been doing to protect us against these incursions? We should assume Law has been holding to their agreements, but we need to find out how they have been holding to them, what we need to do, and what they can do.
>>31163730>>31163784right. if Law did its job correctly, monica would still have both her legs
>>31163851Simple, Law shaped Annelin into the perfect protector and motivator for Michael then pushed her in his direction. You really want to give Law a "Just as Planned" monologue that surges no purpose beyond ticking everybody off?
>>31163881...unless it served Law for her to lose both her legs. Law clearly gave her the requisite obsession with Michael that she would sacrifice herself to save him in his time of most desperate need.
You consider the matter. "Consider myself reminded. But unless he prevents further incursions-"{Thou should not speak of things that though does not fully and truly understand.}"Are you fucking kidding me?" Annelin states, "The Prince can hardly sleep, one of his closest friends is missing her legs and her voice, I am missing an arm, and none of know when next we shall be assaulted!"{When the thief steals upon your wealth, dost thou lay the blame with the guardsman? Or dost thou look to the full jail, and lay it with the thief?}>Writein
>>31163990"I have a message for good old Law, Dear Law, smoke pole."
>>31163990Just stop being cryptic for one fucking minute.Either stop the fucking demons or tell us how to.I'm getting tired of this shit.I'm scared to take a piss because I'm afraid a Whizz-Demon will jump out the chamberpot and try to decapitate me.
>>31163990"It depends on why the guard did not stop the thief."
>>31163990>{When the thief steals upon your wealth, dost thou lay the blame with the guardsman? Or dost thou look to the full jail, and lay it with the thief?}I consider hiring new guards, especially when a goddess of love is doing their job for them.
>>31163990incompetent guards are a problem, they're not the only ones to blame, but they are part of it.
>>31163990Both. The guard for failing at his job, the thief for succeeding.
>>31163990If the guardsman are not competent enough to assure my safety or catch the thief, i take the matters to my own hands.
>>31163990Until you tell me otherwise, I'm going to assume the fucking goddess of lesbian relationships is better at stopping daemons than you are.Like, what the fuck? I would have died if it wasn't for Raev, and I don't even worship her.
>>31163990I fire the guard for their incompetence and find a guard who can do what is expected from them.
>>31164219>Michael then builds a Scissorsdome in his castle to keep Raev constantly appeased
People aren't writing these as things for Michael to say in-character right?Because that's retarded.
>>31164138"It depends why the guard didn't stop the thief."{Apt words.} the angel states. {But do keep in mind that half of all those who pass on are daemon-borne, and half of those seek to return. Those incursions that do not occur are upon my Lord's shoulders as much as the ones that do. And those that do, fall upon his Children as well. For Law is the one who turns the world, Law is the one who gives it light, and Law is the one who Rules - but the king is not at fault for every theft, nor is the guardsman everywhere.}"Leave. We don't care, Metatron." Annelin states, "Raeve does a better job than him."She is ignored again.{Regardless, I shall relay your thoughts to Him.}He bows, and his wings flap to take him back.>Writein
>>31163990OP, is it bad that I'm hoping Michael's father claps a hand over the prince/' mouth before we do something too stupid?
>>31164276"I'll totally sign that pact thing or whatever if you can get the limbs of my girls and a set of vocal chords back though.""Seriously, get them and we cool."
>>31164276Return the bow, or whatever gesture of respect would be appropriate.No reason to be a dick to a messenger.
>>31164276Annelin is the best. Almost makes up for Michael, I really hope we can forge the kid into something worthy.
>>31164307Monica's vocal chords are fine though. Just temporarily paralyzed.
>>31164307The voice will come back in time, and we might get valuable hell intelligence from ghost limbs.Also holy shit, that many souls become demons?
>>31164276>"Dad, what was the androgynous angelic construct talking about?"
>>31164276"We're going to need more than one god in the future, it seems."
>>31164311Yeah this. Try and remember the character we're playing.
>>31164311Seconding. We gotta have some tact.
>>31164311>>31164546You bow in return."Father, what was it talking about?""The Covenant." he states. "It speaks the truth, though I follow Law mostly in lip service." he says with a sigh. "The recent incursions bother me, do not get me wrong, but... He has always provided in the past. I don't understand the weakening now." Annelin looks pensive as he speaks. "I merely hope we can last without him." he says. "In any case!" he picks up the head. "Let us not bow in fear or despair before Law or anyone else - let us celebrate the life and love we have!""Uhm." Ja'al speaks up. "Where's Gina?"Everyone goes quiet. Ja'al is holding her clothes, looking through them. All of them are there. He flushes at the implications, but frowns with worry.>We should look in the forest.>We should hurry back and check our resources. >I don't think she'd want to be found at the moment.>Writein
>>31164903>WriteinDoes she have a ring too? Just have Ja'al use it. He'll hand her clothing.
>>31164903Have Ja'al check our resources real quick before joining up with the rest to look for Gina. Be sure to call out her name loudly so we may be able to spare her some dignity.Or we could just have Ja'al and Annelin be the ones to look for her, since both of us have already seen her naked.
>>31164903Gina is King's guard.Stab king.Gina should appear.
>>31164903Is Gina's teleportation ring with her clothes or can we just stab the king to recall her? If its the former we seriously need to upgrade Anne and Mike's rings to prevent that from happening to them.
>>31164903use her ring if she still has it.else, just look for her in the forest, make sure everyone has something like a cloak or something to cover her
Taking a break
>>31165342Fair enough. Time estimate?
>>31165385Until now."Does she have her ring of guardianship?""No..." Ja'al's wings droop as he looks around. >Choose a character!>Ja'al>King Hile>Annelin>Gina
>>31165638>>GinaI hope we get to molest out shotabird husbando once he rescues us.
>>31165638>Gina
>>31165638King Hile

http://pastebin.com/zPH6na3x Character sheet.You love to swear. It's one of your favourite hobbies, and you've gotten pretty good at it, sharp invectives in Ogre (a surprisingly lilty tongue that has a very small vocabulary but is about expressing strong thoughts) ringing out through the strange cave you find yourself in. Swathed in naught but some mud which serves to cover you in this darkness, your feet ache on the rough stone. You lean against a wall. You think you're headed upwards. You just vanished in the middle of that fight, and now you're without ring, armor, or weapon. Not that the latter matters, to be honest. "oi. oi. psst. oi."Someone's been hanging behind you out of sight, trying to get your attention for some time now. It's grating on you.>Find the infernal noisemaker.>Press on.>Gaude surroundings. >Writein

>>31166402>>31166393You look around. You didn't notice before, but this stone, strong and black, is Ogrenix, a stone that Ogres used for the construction of thweir rough, quickly abandoned dwellings. You sigh, moving on. That means you're near Central, perhaps a few hours. You continue on, hearing the noisemaker come closer and closer. "Oi!" he finally says, louder. "Wotcher doin' wit' no knickers on, lady?"An Ogre. Great. >Explain. >Move on.>Punch his face in. (Not an Ogre greeting.)>Punch him square in the diaphram (Nope)>Slam his shoulder with your fist as hard as you can (Ogre greeting)

>>31167008>>31166983>>31166902>>31166894You wind up and slam your fist into his shoulder, making him step back from the impact. He grunts, and does the same. Falling over, you see him laugh before you get up."Hunting Canid." you grumble. "Can I get your shirt, or something?"He reaches behind him, pulling out a sheet. He cuts a hole in the middle, laying the crude poncho on your shoulders. It's still pretty obvious you're underdressed, but at least the grey sheet covers you. "So where am I?""Ogrenix quarry, last I recall." he says. "I was jus' minin' me own, and then wop! Nekker lady pops outer da air and starts to cuss it up." he says. "You gotcher name? I'm Propah.""Proper what?""Propah.">Writein

>>31168376>>31168339>>31168279It's been three hours. After some rather hectic magical tracing, arguing, anger, a small altercation, and finally a compromise, we're heading home, and the sun is slowly heading towards the horizon, casting long shadows. Everyone is distracted, and Ja'al even flew ahead, letting us carry her things. He wants to get back to his lab in a hurry. You've never seen him so out of sorts, and neither had Micheal. The handprint is slowly fading."That remark was likely not in the best taste.""I was trying to reassure him." You raise an eyebrow. "Gina isn't going to die easily. We'll find her.""Has anyone told you you get really stupid when you're stressed?""... A few times."You smile at him, patting his shoulder and letting him lean against you."So he speaks the truth." The king says, looking you in the eyes. "Regarding your relationship.">Writein
>>31169060>"So he speaks the truth.""I don't think I've ever got him to be all honest yet, but I'll keep ribbind him about it"

>>31170206Hah, yeah.
>>31170206I thought Hile already said he knew we were an item.
>>31170303He knows we're an item, he might not know how intimate we've become.
>>31170382>Your Highness, I've been mommying and manhandling the crown prince. No cooking, though.
Anon has a point. Neither of us has actually put into words what's expected of this relationship. It's all been inference and AG filling in blanks.
"I'm afraid I don't know for sure what you're speaking of. The Prince... usually speaks the truth."He chuckles. "Tell me, Annelin. Do you wish to be Prince Consort?" he asks. >...What does that mean?>What responsibilities will that entail?>What sort of things will I need to know?>I'm not sure if I'm ready for that...>This doesn't seem like a great place to ask.>Shouldn't you wait until after the party?

>>31170996Princess Consort is the correct termage I should have used. Apologies.
>>31170661"I want to be with Micheal, the Consort part is just extra. Um, what is a Prince consort supposed to do, exactly?"
>>31171029Thought so. Point of favor toward the Hile line.Also another got in favor of blushing and stammering about his highness being so forward. We just started courting! But, er, yes, we think we can see ourself being happy with Michael. The other stuff is a bit of a bother, but we'll cross that bridge if we have to.
"Princess consort?" you manage. "It's... It's so... I mean... I didn't expect you to be so forward with him." you manage. "What all would... Well, what does the title mean?""It means you are to be the Prince's wife. When the throne is passed on, you will assume it with him." he leans back. "The various duties of a queen would be yours to take up. Now, refusing it at this moment, needing to think on it, I can completely understand. But I shall ask Monica the same."That makes both of you jump. "She has shown incredible bravery and courage. Her feelings towards Micheal are not unseen. She has skills that you do not, Annelin, and politically, she is a stronger marriage. I ask my son to please - consider her as well. Her feelings, her actions, her convictions. Weigh them against you." he sighs. "In the coming times we will need one of you on the throne... Which though, and which would be better for him... That is the question.""But..." Micheal speaks up, but the king shakes his head. "Please, my son. I will not have the fate of the kingdom decided over a single night. In fact..." he rubs his chin. "You will think on this for three days following your celebration. In that time, Annelin and Monica will not enter the city. You will be guarded by myself and Karl, while they are dispatched to another kingdom as ambassadors.""F-father!" >Wait! This isn't right!>Hold on, you're contradicting yourself!>This is insane. He needs my protection!>I understand. >I'll only go with this because you are King...>Writein
>>31171481>I understand.We have until the celebration to get him to get crystal clear.And we get to patch things up with Monica. I'm so in.
>>31171481>>I understand.Even though it IS our job to protect, the King still needs to do what he thinks is best for his son. Also what >>31171622 said.
>>31171481>I understand.that said, >I'll only go with this because you are King
>>31171481"Well, I guess I don't have to tell you to keep him safe in my absence, but you'd better make sure he keeps up his training! Just, please tell me you aren't sending me to (insert Dra country's name)..."
>>31171481>I understand.
>>31171481"Will I be sent with Monica, or will we be dispatched to separate locations?"Because we would like to get on better terms with her.
>>31171651Yeah we should make sure he doesn't let his son slack off.
>>31171481OOC question, can we at least grab out invincible bra and have it converted to "The Bra of Raev" before we go?
>>31171622>>31161332
>>31171481It DOES make sense, considering how often we are in close physical contact with Michael, especially compared to Monica.
"I... I understand. Will we be going to the same place?"He nods. "There are pressing issues in the Tou nation. You'll be dispatched to assist with these matters." he says. "Along with an additional guardian of my own choosing.""Father!" "Micheal... You must make this decision without further influence. If you sneak out of the damned castle, the crown shall never touch your head. Clear?""...Clear.""Good." he says, as you approach the city. "That being said - Let us enjoy ourselves for once, yes?" he smiles. "As they say, laugh at the world!"You pull into the castle, and are lead down into one of the larger basement chambers - into a massive room. Streamers decorate all over, gentle music plays, and Ja'al is with Gina in one corner, speaking with Monica, who, while nervous, is at least talking with him. Writing, rather.>Talk to...?>Get something to eat.>Dance with...?>Go change? >Writein
>>31171885Talk Ja'al and Monica.Tell them about the ghost of our arm, and ask Monica if she's experienced anything like that.
>>31171885Has the party started already?
>>31171885>>31161332> get something to eat.
>>31171885If we don't have our bra of very limited protective coverage we should probably grab it.
>>31171885Did the King invite Michael's tutor?Because we should make sure that he keeps Michael extra busy in our absence.And just in general ask how he's liking it here and make small talk.
>>31171885>Write inFind the other member of our party. Say hi to Deckartt.
>>31171885>Get something to eat.
>>31171998That'd be devious on the King's part, sending our ex-boyfriend with us.
>>31171885>Talk to...?The tutor>Get something to eat.>Cat nationWe're instating a Raev pile, calling it
we haven't used our eye in too long... yeah, i know, shadowrunnings...
>>31172159Annelin's probably sufficiently paranoid in character that we can Take a Peak, right?
The party has not started in earnest - not all the guests have arrived. The food is out, though, care of Karl, Rikard, and Freth. The three of them are joking and having a solid time between one another, though Monica bereaks from Ja'al and Gina, looking a little nervous, uncertain, and on some level, uncomfortable. Then the king wheels her away as she flails in her chair, humming to himself. Gina approaches in a beautiful red dress. "Glad the party hasn't started. Shall we get to dolling you up?">What was that about?>Er, sure.>Who all's coming?>What's on the menu?
>>31171947Good question>You pull into the castle, and are lead down into one of the larger basement chambers - into a massive room. Streamers decorate all over, gentle music playsSeems to imply it has started, which means we've got very little time with Mike before we get sent away, also, what happened to Mike 'becoming a man' and losing his cherry at the end of the party if we and Monica get sent away?
>>31172432>What was that about?>Who all's coming?>Sure.
>>31172432>>31161332> what was that about?
>>31172432>>>What was that about?>>Er, sure.While she is dolling us up, ask the other two questions as small talk, unless someone has something better to talk about.
>>31172432>Er, sure.
>>31172432"Was that about the leg Ja'al made?"Also inquire who made the King's arm.
>>31172432>What was that about?>Er, sure.Then while we're getting ready ask >Who all's coming?>What's on the menu?
>>31172432>Sure...Also, see if we can get Gina to have a little black dress made for us while we're on our mission thingy. The red dress is nice but it really isn't our color.
>>31172432>Er, sure.>What was that about?
>>31172600We already got that dress from Teel, remember?
>>31172600We had a little black dress, IIRC it got shredded with that seducer fight when we got tricked and Monica lost her leg
>>31172637Right. Now we have a little red dress, with is nice, but we are Raevsworn.
>>31172619I thought it got destroyed?
"S-sure." "Monica was asking us about a few things." Gina says as you're escorted away. "Her leg, your dress, and so on.""My dress?""She seemed quite adamant you not wear the red one. That she had made some sort of mistake..." she shrugs. "Perhaps she still thinks she has a chance. I mean, it looked great on you." You end up back in your room, looking through the stuff you have. >That nice red dress>The half-destroyed black dress>Semiformal armor/dress>Other things
>>31172948>Semiformal armor/dressNo one told me this was an option.NowI have to scour pics for that doublet-skirt thing.
>>31172948>That nice red dressif gina says it looks good on us...
>>31172948>Semiformal armor/dressohh shit you dont think she sabotaged the red one in a fit of peak do you?
>>31172948>>Other thingsDidn't we get a green dress too?
>>31172948>Other thingsdidn't we get a ridiculously-sexy suit of armor because Mike wanted it?paranoia intensifies
>>31172948>That nice red dress
>>31172948>Semiformal armor/dress...Send the red dress to Ja'al.
>>31173052I think that might be the semiformal armor.
>>31172948>>31161332semiformal armor/dress----Thought we were a fucking dude, what is going on here?
>>31173107perspective switches
>>31173107>Thought we were a fucking dude, what is going on here?Have you not been reading the quest? We switched to like three different characters in this thread alone, but Annelin is the main character.
>>31172948>Semiformal armor/dressSeems most appropriate for the occasion anyway.
>>31173107Rapidly switching POV this thread. Usually we play as Annelin, but she was taking a back seat to the prince she's the bodyguard of (Michael) at the beginning of the episode, then we saw where Gina got displaced to.
>>31172948EYE Gina. She got home way to early.
>>31173153>>31173064>>31173042>>31172968>>31172984>>31173053Writing.
Okay, it was a surcoat skirt thing, but still, look at it.
>>31173379Hey, if Gina thought that our formal gear was inappropriate for the occasion she would have mentioned something.
>>31173375You pull out your formal armor and put it on, a rather fancy steel number that emphasizes your strong figure. Gina eyes it a bit. "Well. I advise this: You can wear that - it's very you. But..." she pulls out the red dress longingly, then hangs it up again. "If you're sure. It'll be hell to dance in, though.">On second thought...>>The red dress.>>The black dress.>Nope. Monica warned me, and I trust her.>Writein
>>31173461USE THE EYEand also >Nope. Monica warned me, and I trust her.
>>31173461...I don't suppose we can pray to Raev for guidance at this juncture? I'm torn between being professional or pulling out all the stops...Also, we did verify this is aging and that she isn't possessed at some point, right?
>>31173461Sorry, it's been a while, could we get a short description of what our wardrobe actually consists of?
>>31173521You have a town outfit - a very nice looking tunic, shirt, and pants, some semiformal attire, a semiformal suit of armor, the black dress, the red dress, and various colors of undergarments.
>>31173473Technically Gina warned us, which is why I think she just likes how we look in the dress since if she knew it was trapped why the fuck would she even relay Monica's message?Eye her just in case, though.
>>31173549Describe the undergarments and would they be visible given the neckline or back of either of our dresses?
>>31173461>>The red dress.We bought it for the fucking party
>>31173581The red one, yes.You have essentially solid color of any you like, in both lacy and plain. Your invincible bra is white. The black dress also shows bra straps and panty line.
>>31173461>WriteinThree quarters suit, lose the gauntlets and vambraces. Replace with long gloves. Below we go by sexiest choice.
>>31173461>The red dress.We got it specifically for the party and to look good in, why the fuck would we wear our armor to the party?Wear the fucking dress
>>31173461>The red dress.Its a party, and the black dress is shredded.We really neeed to get our invincible bra reformed by Raev because it does not go with any of our dresses.Also, use The Eye on the red dress
>>31173549What's our semiformal attire look like?
>>31173461>EYE the red dress>The black dressTell Mike we wanted to show him the dress but it got damaged when we fought that seducer, hopefully we can get it patched up
>>31173653>>The red dressThisEverything this guy saidIncluding giving the magic once-over
>>31173619Is black an inappropriate color of this occasion? And if not would a lacy strapless bra and no panties be a valid option?
>>31173653>>31173631>>31173614You know damn well Monica probably did something to it.Since I really doubt it matters enough to affect how Michael last saw us, considering Monica is in a wheelchair and has a big scar on her neck.
>>31173688>>31173653>>31173631>>31173614Writing.
>>31173692Then we use the eye on it and inspect it closelyFrankly, the shadowruns and paranoia around Monica and her actions are getting fucking annoying.I bet the bitch wants to wear a red dress of her own
>>31173722Oh crud. We totally just fell for something and tripped the plot in a bad way.
>>31173733SHE warned US.Why not trust her warning?
>>31173758Because I don't trust her or anything she does, like I said, the shadowruns and paranoia is getting fucking annoying and not fun.
>>31173756You mean like one person did.And they knew it was a bad idea but triggered it anyway because they think it's fun.
>>31173775But you're participating in the shadowruns and paranoia by assuming that she's lying to us right now, as opposed to trying to make up for a foolish choice she made in the past.
>>31173733I bet the dress was designed to screw us over with Teel since we know Monica is a humanist that doesn't believe in inter-species fornication. This is going to go bad, I feel it in my bones.
>>31173722Use the fucking EYE, use fucking everything, pick it apart to see whats up with it because fuck if I'm trusting it
>>31173775Dude, I'm sorry, but you just went circular retarded.
>>31173779Always seems to happen. I'm just hoping that warrior demon guy shows up soon, I could use a badass that doubles as a straitman for comic relief.
>>31173722Just pointing out that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th posts you quoted were exactly 1 minute apart...You might want to to final destination voting
>>31173894It'll be fine, let's just go with it.He wouldn't do a revote if it was gonna really fuck us over.Might actually be funny.
>>31173894>You might want to to final destination votingThis please.I was busy discussing with the other anons for other ideas and it looks like the samefags won the vote before consensus was achieved
>>31173910>It'll be fineIts never fine.
>>31173922Don't bother, I just want to move on from this.The QM said on IRC it's just a funny gag that won't have any serious consequences, so it's not like Monica's gonna pull a Nessus on us.
>>31173910No, but he would do it for the sake of plot advancement...which sometimes irks me not because I don't want to advance the game,mbut because I'd like more control over how its done. Whatever, hope you're right.
>>31173957but we lose face
You examine it with your eye, you look it over twice, then you slide into it, smiling. A slit to the thigh, a plunging neckline and bare back, no sleeves. You smile, carefully checking the seams, which seem well made, nodding to yourself as you take a deep breath. >Wait, there was jewelery to go with this, right?>I look fine in this. >That trinket from back home. I should wear it...
>>31173994>>That trinket from back home. I should wear it...
>>31173994ABORT
>>31173957>The QM said on IRC it's just a funny gag that won't have any serious consequencesSo the revote was instated, nudged and guided just because of a personal peeve?AG, I'm going to have a drink now, I will need the perspective for this.
>>31173994>I look fine in this.The trinket was given by a demon, probably shouldn't put it on until they're dealt with
>>31173994>Was there jewelry to go with this?Might as well wear the whole thing.
>>31174028I'm fairly certain the demon thing happened later.
>>3117402420 e-bux says the dress unsummons/destroys itself and we end up naked in the middle of the party.
>>31173994>add some earrings and a bracelet.>wear a black sexy bra and no panties.>leave cherished trinket safely in room.We good.
>>31173994Ask Gina if this is remotely appropriate for a personal bodyguard to wear to a formal event because as described it damn well sounds like it isn't.
>>31174099with what I almost certainly know will happen, we will want panties...
>>31174129This isn't formal, actually. That's later. This is in the friends and family.
>>31174080Almost certainly.But then we remember Raev, and fail to give a shit.
>>31174156Sorry OP, for whatever reason I just am not getting what's going on this thread. So are we and Monica getting shipped off after the formal get together, or this one?
>>31174260No idea anon, Avalon has a habit of implying things not explaining them in their posts, makes deciphering them annoying at times when such details that are glossed over are of importance to events
>>31174260This one. You'll be back before the formal in a month and a half....No, you don't need jewelery. You smile at Gina and head out, almost to stumble over Monica, who looks up at you for a moment with great fear... Then relaxes. "We need to talk", she writes, then reconsiders. "The King just asked me what he asked you." she wipes the board with now-practiced speed, then, "Thank heavens you didn't wear the whole outfit.">What? Why?>Sure, let's 'talk'. >Not in the mood, Monica. >Sorry, my dance card's filled.>>By Micheal.>Writein
>>31174320>This one. You'll be back before the formal in a month and a half.I am now so utterly confused about the timings of the party(s?) I've no idea whats going on
>>31174320>What? Why?>Sure, let's 'talk'.I imagine this involves disclosing WHY she said to not wear it.
>>31174320>Sure, let's 'talk'.Then proceed to gush about kittens everywhere and all the pettings.
>>31174320>What? Why?
>>31174320>Sure, let's 'talk'. >What? Why?
>>31174320And that's when the duel happens?
>>31174346Did you forget the duel, too? How about our Eye? Maybe William? You probably totally spaced on who Erva is, or that she exists.
>>31174374No, I'm just confused with the parties, thought there was only going to be one big party and it was this one, but later tonight, not a month away, I can't recall when such information was given to us
>>31174320>"Do I want to know? Anyway, what would you like to talk about?"
>>31174346The Duel is the formal celebration of the Prince coming of age, as it cements his place on the throne.And yes, this happens in every EGO quest, as he loses track of specifics himself.
>>31174320>What? Why?>>Sure, let's 'talk'.use the eye, just in case
>>31174374Nah, he just thought Michael was going to lose his virginity to either Annelin or Monica after the birthday party. Apparently that's going to happen after the fight to claim his inheritance in a month and a half, not tonight.
>>31174397and which one is his birthday party, which was the one that was implied he'd lose his cherry at>spoileryeah, does not make it easy piecing things together when they're left out of posts and only implied at
>>31174414>Nah, he just thought Michael was going to lose his virginity to either Annelin or Monica after the birthday party.Well thats what Karl told us would be happening
>>31174397Man I hope Michael rolls poorly for that. I'm just starting to like the kid. The burden of rule would ruin him.
>>31174414Isn't this party the one sex happens at? I thought that's why we didn't fuck Mike yesterday
>>31174431Karl probably didn't know Hile Sr.'s plans. Or he lied. He can do that now.
>>31174446It was. Hile Sr twatblocked us, though.

>>31174408>>31174364>>31174360>>31174349>>31174352"Why?""I had planned a special... event to occur." she writes. "I thought it would be apt to make you appear to be of," she sighs, though not audibly. "Poor repute. Easy nature. I was a fool, and did not recognize my folly until too late." She has to wipe it clean many times. "Much of what I said was in poor taste. Even as he tried to reconcile with me." Again, she clears it. "So if you had worn the dress and the jewelery, it would have fallen to bits." she admits, flushing and looking away, "Your Eye would not have caught them seperately."Devious. You raise your eyebrows."I tried to warn you, after all. But I come to you with a proposition." she looks over the board at you with hope.>Let me guess, you want to share him.>Let me guess, 'just one night'?>Go ahead, I'm all...

>>31174499We really would see if we can trade the EYE for something more useful. It has far too many limitations.>"Talk." (the important bit is subtly hinting that we are getting very sick of her bullshit and are grantin her a courtesy she does not deserve)
>>31174559seconding thisWe've tried several times to be nice, and every time she's thrown it in our face. We know she hates anything not full-blooded human, which is basically everyone except us and Mike in the main cast, and i'm really not convinced she actually loves Micheal for who he is either
>>31174559Yeah that is kind of...
>>31174594>We really would see if we can trade the EYE for something more useful. It has far too many limitations.Its brilliant for actual bodyguarding work, seeing through walls and doors and whatnot, but for social situations its useless, which is what we're doing most of the time.
>>31174599yeah, I'm getting pretty close to wanting to off Monica, because I'm positive she's just going to stab us in the back again. I mean, really. I thought we'd buried the hatchet after we'd both been heinously crippled and we wasted a goddamn godly boon keeping her ass alive, but apparently not
>>31174594We were lucky enough to not get mutated in the first place when we got the eye, don't get mad at a free gift.
>>31174532>>31174563>>31174514>>31174529"I'm all... eyes, I guess." you say, leaning against a wall. Woah, that's chilly! You hop away from it, but keep an eye on her."In short, the king has prevented us, in his wisdom, from swaying the prince to one of us tonight." she writes quickly. "Neither of us will know his touch tonight." The idea stings you. "Unless..." she writes, smiling deviously, "His touch upon us tonight does not sway him.""...What?""To be simple" she draws a triangle, and a straight line. Then draws an X over the line, and circles the triangle, tapping the board. "We need not make congress between each other." She smiles at you. "This is his night. Why not give him what any man dreams of?" she says, "I will even" she pauses, tapping the board in thought, "I will even accept Ja'al's leg, so" She frowns, then starts over. She writes more, then starts over again, pressing her knuckles against her forehead in thought. "I feel I cannot harbor ill will to one who has done so much for Micheal." she writes. "He is not guilty of his forefather's crimes."She wipes it again."Let there be no ill will betwixt us. Let us be unified by that which forced us apart." She draws quickly, a recognizable, but cartoonish, portrait of Micheal.>Writein
>>31174685That happened.
>>31174685"No."
>>31174685"I'm up for that, but Michael might be a bit of a prude."
>>31174685Is it just me, or is she actually having legitimate trouble accepting critters as people?
>>31174685"This is something for him to decide, we should talk to him about this, if he accepts, I will too."God Fucking Damnit we were planning on telling her about Mike's decision before this and now we can't head that off fuck.
>>31174685Man, she REALLY wants both of us. Either that or she is willing to have herself a clam bake in order to appease everyone.In fact, we should ask her whether or not this is what she truly wants or if it's just appeasement.
>>31174756She already heard it, and threatened to kill us.
We really need to talk to Mike about this and how he made up his mind and chose us before all this happened, we don't want it causing drama now of all times, whatever happened to us and Mike telling her and dealing with this beforehand?
>>31174756She already knows, remember? I guess we could go ask the prince if this is what he wants. Get a taste of both in order to make the final purchase, so to speak.
>>31174685Nothis bitch has betrayed us at every turn, I trust her little oath about as far as I can throw a tank
>>31174780>whatever happened to us and Mike telling her and dealing with this beforehand?We did all that, but then the king threw everything back into uncertainty with his little ambassador bullshit.
>>31174685Give her a hug"Sure thing and again I'm sorry"
>>31174804It makes sense for him to have some time to cool off, since we're constantly right there teasing and ogling him all the time.
>>31174804fucking douchebag king>>31174727>>31174756Yeah, I think this is Michael's call, he chose us, and he can make this call, if he wants the threesome, I'm totally in, but I'm not making the call for him, he's got to stand by his decision of choosing us
>>31174826except that you know that the king and by extension AG will make him to kingly matters and run the country while we're both gone and realise that he needs Monica as a queen to help out just for DRAMA's sake...
>>31174826It makes perfect sense which is why I didn't fight him him on it even when we had the option to, but that doesn't mean I can't be salty about the king delaying the Princeb Owl like that.
>>31174685"No offense, but I don't fool around with people I don't trust."
>>31174685sorry Monica, but I'm not going to make this choice for him. If I have to live without him for another month, I'm fine with that, but I'm not forcing a threesome on him
>>31174685just flat out refusecan't trust her for nothin
>>31174685On the one hand, I want to pleas Raev by having a threesome. On the other, I really don't like Monica. Decisions, decisions...

>>31174685"I probably have some stories about just this, but first... are YOU sure?"
>>31174895The other side had the same amount of votes.
>>31174891This. If we are going to give up our lesbian virginity to anyone, I would rather it be just about any other girl we've met thus far.
>>31174895I feel that we've been played like a fiddle lads...
>>31174933yeah, except ours were well reasoned and thought out and discussing it and not going "NO">>31174895votes were equal AG
>>31174895I'm pretty sure that's the same samefag who's been samefagging everything.At least two of those votes are the same person, and the other side also pretty much had four votes for "let's discuss it with Michael"
>>31174895Uhh theres 4 votes for asking Mike and agreeing if he agrees...
It would be to Freath, Gina, Raev, Evra...ok, yeah, it would literally be any other named woman in this quest. Including the handsy Dra princess.
>>31174933>>31174942>>31174944
>>31174944>and the other side also pretty much had four votes for "let's discuss it with Michael"Yeah if anything it should be tied with that, without the samefagging the discuss it with Mike, make it his decision wins
>>31174970Maybe we can just be mad at her and give her a chance to explain herself?
Rolled 2>>31174960>>31174944>>31174942>>31174933Diebreaking, then.Every type of vote ever made on the internet can be samefagged. If I put certain votes to more consecutive vote styles, I may as well be railroading the other way.
>>31174895And once again samefags ruin everything and AG picks them over the equal amount of votes for the well reasoned option
>>31174994Look, there's clearly one guy here who's been using unnecessarily harsh invective and is overall taking things too seriously.
>>31174994>Rolled 1d2: 2So which one is 2?
>>31174970I think 'No' could legitimately coincide with 'Let's discuss it with michael'. More calling her on her bs.
>>31174944We could compromise the two and be against it but ultimately leave it to Michael. That sounds like a very Annelin thing to do.
>>31175021It could, but the samefag pushing for the No option was trying to flat out refuse because they distrust her when she's not shown a lot to distrust her over for a long time
>>31175026We could just ask her why we should trust her, and bring up the whole "barely sees us as a person" thing.
>>31175021>>31175026 hereI'm good with this. Harshly scold her for treating us like little more than a pawn in some scheme, but then see how Michael feels about it all.
>>31175040She kind of just lost her own leg due to trying to show off/make us look bad and has legitimately said she'd murder us if she thinks we're making Michael sad.
>>31175018Well, since my "No." vote was the first vote, apparently we are going to propose this scheme to Michael knowing full well he isn't interested. Monica wins this round by making us look more interested in sex than emotional commitment, proving her point that we are a gullible, low class skank.At least the fallout should be entertaining.
>>31175046Frankly, I prefer just letting Michael decide things.I only suggest >>31175021 because calling her on what she'd done wrong might allow her to grow, if done right. I don't see any well crafted speeches, so it'd most likely blow up in our face. :/
>>31175049I don't know, we WANT to be friends with her right?Like that's at least where part of our frustration should come from. We want her to be our friend, but she just keeps doing things like this that make it clear she doesn't feel the same.
>>31175067>Monica wins this round by making us look more interested in sex than emotional commitment, proving her point that we are a gullible, low class skank.We don't know that, and honestly I'd prefer to say that we wouldn't accept it, but its Mike's decision to make and we'll accept it if he does
>>31175021Oh no. My "No" vote was me trying to politely say "Fuck You" to Monica. Wouldn't sleep with that woman for anything.
>>31175067...Monica's the one who brought it up.And given how Monica's little sacrifice stunt didn't win her any Michael points, I'm pretty sure any attempt at duplicity on Monica's part will severely penalize her.
>>31175082Yeah, thats my feelings on the matter to, she's said she wants to be friends through this, and then is a bitch about it while we're trying to stay friends
>>31175067I feel sad you're assuming it will be done in the worst way possible and that consequences will be true and abhorrent.
>>31175082We shouldn't have to fuck her just to be her friend. Like I said earlier, she is literally the last girl in this quest I would want to fuck, even in a threesome.
>>31175092Just earlier in the thread we were happy about being sent on that ambassadorship with Monica because we wanted to make things right with her.And she warned us about the dress. Where's all the hate coming from?
>>31175084Yeah, I don't get the logic. Michael doesn't decide who we sleep with, we do. So by saying "let Michael decide" we're basically saying "yes I'm willing to have a threesome with you Monica." Still us saying yes, just telling her not to get her hopes up because Michael might say no.
>>31174994You consider and weigh the options."We'll ask him." you say. "Very well." she writes. "It's only fair." You pause, looking down at her. "What am I to you?" you ask quietly. "We're going to soon go to a foreign land, Monica. It could be very dangerous. If only one of us comes back, then... Well, that one holds half the throne. And by making me pop this question, I look like a... well." you gesture towards her, and she blinks, then thinks."I think highly of you. I just..." she sighs again. "I have always had this problem. I desire something, and..." she has to retry a few times to get it right. "I hurt people. I want to stop. I want to be friends with you. I just...""You don't know how to make friends." you say flatly."yes"A pause, then: "or at least i don't know how to keep them." you wheel her into the room, looking around. It's a little more full. "Do you want to talk to Micheal?" she asks, "Or perhaps both of us?">Writein
>>31175138I think it's just reminding her that Michael has opinions and she can't just keep going behind his back.Like when she told us to back off and let Michael marry her.
>>31175092>>31175114>We need not make congress between each other.
>>31175158>Implying anyone actually reads this shit
>>31175156"So have you been having any strange dreams recently, after your attack?"
>>31175118Earlier in the thread I thought we and Monica were being sent to different places. I'm fine with making up with her, well, since we haven't done anything wrong I'm fine with forgiving her, but that doesn't mean I think we should sleep with her. She just isn't trust worthy or that attractive.
>>31175156"Definitely both. Maybe I'll even tell you about my initiation afterwards, to clear some things up"
>>31175156Both
>>31175156"This is all on you."
>>31175156Seconding >>31175193>>31175158Depending on her definition of that in this setting, that could mean many things, and I've no idea what.
>>31175193To clarify, so she knows we rejected a goddess in the most secretive conditions, but we're discussing this openly with her.
>>31175193I forget, is it considered a taboo to talk about Raev's initiation, or is it more that just prefer not to speak about it?
>>31175210You don't even need to touch one another.
>>31175228It's also a good way of letting her know that we really are made of elemental heterosexuality, given that with all our capacity for shame removed, when confronted with the goddess of lesbians... we made a pillow fort.
>>31175158It's kinda hard to for the tits not to touch in a threesome. Sure, we won't be diving down on one another, but she'll still be there.
>>31175236But if we do have a threesome, we are going to touch ALL over her
>>31175236We can just watch with a disapproving expression while Michael and Monica go at it? Excellent.
>>31175235The ceremony where you lose your inhibitions until you're exhausted? More likely the second
You stop her, then look her in the eyes. "Before anything happens, just... Understand I'm not interested in women. At all. Seriously." you say, and she nods. "This is for him." she says. "Anything between us there is incidental." she sighs, then draws a bottle with question marks around it as we come closer. A shrug as you approach closer to Micheal, who is thankfully alone at the moment.>Writein
>>31175283Huh, thought it was a taboo since it could easily give people the wrong impression.people like Monica who are looking for a reason to believe Raev is evil and her church filled with degenerates, for example.
>>31175306"Good news, I heard a woman wants to talk about a leg and some other things, do you have a minute?"
>>31175306"So, Monica found a loophole and I'm impatient. You up for double duty or am I going to have to wait another month and a half?"
>>31175280This will be us the entire time.
>>31175306I forget, Michael's already fucked the Dra Princess hasn't he?So it's not like there's any ceremonial bullshit with his virginity or any nonsense like that, right?
>>31175359Heh. I can hope.
>>31175306>You stop her, then look her in the eyes. "Before anything happens, just... Understand I'm not interested in women. At all. Seriously." you say, and she nods.I did not vote for this! Full on bi or nothing!
>>31175306"Monica came to me with a proposition that I feel you should be involved in deciding, basically a loophole in your fathers wording to get us to not spend time with you. She proposes we both spend time with you, at the same time, intimately, tonight, I'll accept whatever you decide.">>31175364no, he had to push her off him, he turned her down
>>31175364Nope. He's a virgin and has been militantly protecting his chastity even though he's a chick magnet.
>>31175368Yeah, that was not my intention in that vote, it was more to get her to trust us and not completely shut down that, so well done AG for completely missing my intention with that and turning the vote backwards.
>>31175368Should have voted in the last sexual preference vote.
>>31175306"Monica and I have been thinking that since today you're becoming a man, it would be rude of us to not help you complete that transformation. If you're interested, of course."
>>31175359>just sit there at the table>mug of ale in one hand, wearing only a viking helmet>neutral expression of disapproval whole timewait for them to finish to re-establish dominance as alpha bitch
>>31175410As if Monica won't be either wearing opera glasses or waving a fan in front of her face while watching us.Maybe sipping a cup of tea while quietly making a "tut-tut" noise.
>>31175306Can you please just knock Monica up with Michaels illegitimate heir so we can move on already?
>>31175410We should go first, because he chose us so we get his cherry, but then we can watch Monica have her turn, then utterly one-up her and then fuck the shit out of her and teach her how its done
>>31175410>when she finishes, we pounce on top of Michael and ride him like an expert>look over our shoulder at a shocked and aroused Monica>say YOU'RE GOOD, BUT I'M BETTAH
>>31175440You can't have it both ways.Also there's a good chance Monica is a virgin too so we get to watch her and Michael's fumbling attempts at lovemaking while offering helpful critique.And then we demonstrate.
>>31175435Monica would be less than six inches away from the action furiously schlicking the entire time. She's openly bi and loves a good show, it's just that unfortunately she's a horrible person that puts me off.
>>31175452We should have his first, then we can let Monica go after us and we can guide her and helpout, then join in
>>31175440Oh no, she's going first. We're going last.
I'm gonna hit the sack. Same deal as last week, I'll run tomorrow from here at about ten in the morning (PST) or noon if it dies (PST).
>>31175464We don't need his first.We're too cool to care about virginity.
>>31175485How about we let him choose who he gives his first to, since it's his virginity we're talking about here?
>>31175478You're deep in sage OP. Get some rest.
>>31175410>re-establishif it was established in the first place then we went first clearly
Ok then, let's level now. You went through hoops, to give this prank event a chance. During, people pulled every paranoid nerve they had and went to grasp at other matters in confusion.Nudging towards a "legal" chance means you'd have respected the original choice, too. The sinker prompt players didn't bite doesn't deserve further examination.The empty smell of wine in my head tells me that in this one, you lost a little respect in yourself for a moment, AG. I feel disappointed, for you.
>>31175496We're already letting him decide whether we sleep with a woman we don't particularly like despite not being attracted to women in general or Monica in particular. Let's not be a complete doormat.
>>31175478threads in autosage so I doubt it will last that long>>31175473We should go first seeing as made his decision and chose us, and she accepted it, but we'll also go last.Mike chose us, he made his choice a while ago and this wouldnt be a problem if we did it then and there with him that night, but nooo his cunt of a father had to step in for DRAMA, I'm just pissed that he madae his choice and we would have fucked the life out of him then and there if not for us being told that he'll pop his cherry at the end of the party, and then his douchebag king father stepped in just for LOLRANDOMDRAMA, thats what it is, and its poorly written that way, its fucking transparent and annoying just to interfere with us.Mike already chose us, Mike told Monica, she dealt with it, so AG, why the fuck do you keep making this an issue trying to force drama down our throats? Because all this asspulling with the king is transparent and blatant and annoying as fuck, its severely depreciating the quality of the quest and your writing, fuck, everthing after killing the Canid in the beginning of this thread has been a colossal disappointment of your attempts to drag the drama out
>>31175515We're pretty clearly michael's bottom and certainly haven't been controlling much of anything when it comes to the relationship.
>>31175547>but nooo his cunt of a father had to step in for DRAMAFor fuck's sake, pull the pepper out of your ass. I can feel the analpain for a rational decision all the way over here in Washington.
>>31175547>Mike already chose us, Mike told Monica, she dealt with it, so AG, why the fuck do you keep making this an issue trying to force drama down our throats? Because all this asspulling with the king is transparent and blatant and annoying as fuck, its severely depreciating the quality of the quest and your writing, fuck, everthing after killing the Canid in the beginning of this thread has been a colossal disappointment of your attempts to drag the drama outI've got to agree to a point, I thought this drama was dealt with and was relieved when Michael chose us and voted to not do the deed then and there that night because I thought we'd do it after the party, but all this drama resurfacing, its just annoying after we'd finished with it and I can safely say I'm not having fun because of it and the QM's attempts to prolong the needless drama.
>>31175547>One kiss = everlasting and eternal love>Especially with an 18 year oldI want animufans to go
>>31175547He probably expected us to play this smart, refuse Monica and strengthen our relationship to Muchael while giving Monica further excuse to go all evil on us, instead, she's either getting pregnant with Mike's kid (they're both praying to Law for contraception, I wonder what's going to happen...) or we're slapping Mike in the face for committing to us and then immediately bringing someone we just told him to cut it off with and stop giving false hope to for /her/ own good into the picture....I wonder what AG expected.
>>31175547Are you retarded? The king is making a great decision in sending both us and Monica away.We don't get two turns.
>>31175607>He probably expected us to play this smart, refuse Monica and strengthen our relationship to Muchael while giving Monica further excuse to go all evil on us, instead, she's either getting pregnant with Mike's kid (they're both praying to Law for contraception, I wonder what's going to happen...) or we're slapping Mike in the face for committing to us and then immediately bringing someone we just told him to cut it off with and stop giving false hope to for /her/ own good into the picture.The shitstorms would be endless if that happened.I'm frankly just hoping that Mike says no and thats that, and gets Monica to finally back off because this is just dragging on too long and getting ridiculously unfun and painful at this point, but I guess AG gets off on that player vs QM mentality.
>>31175638We're going to befriend the fuck out of Monica like it or not. And if Michael actually does pick Monica then we're going to ask for a short vacation, get drunk, maybe do some Arena fighting, have some casual sex, and then get back to work.
>>31175607>instead, she's either getting pregnant with Mike's kid (they're both praying to Law for contraception, I wonder what's going to happen...)Well that would kill the quest faster than anything I've seen before, I hope Avalon is smarter then that, fuck, I hope he's smart enough to have them be using contraception because if not and that happens, thats the biggest DRAMA asspull you could conceive of, fuck soap operas get killed because of asspulls like that.Avalon, please, be smart enough to not do that.
>>31175638To be fair, most of us seem to get off on Player vs. QM at this point as well. Just look at the constant "Use the EYE!!!" suggestions.
>>31175663What if we get pregnant too?
>>31175663Hey, just remember that contraception is generally prayer based in this setting. And Michael definitely falls under Law's jurisdiction.
>>31175655>And if Michael actually does pick MonicaI'm confused why this is still a thing, mike 'picking' one of them, he's already picked Annelin, he said so, he told Monica as much and she accepted it.So why the fuck is it still an issue being milked for all the drama AG can get out of it?Its confusing and annoying, the quest would be better if he just moved on from that when Monica accepted it and it was no longer an issue, I honestly can't see any reason why he's keep dragging it out.
>>31175638>but I guess AG gets off on that player vs QM mentality.>He could have had the silver not be required>He could have had Gina take longer to get home>He could have had Metatron kick our ass>He could have done so much other bullshit>But because the king makes a perfectly rational decision, OH MAN, KILLER QM
>>31175679Then we give it to Monica to raise because we don't have time for that shit.
>>31175684>And Michael definitely falls under Law's jurisdiction.Well he's been rethinking that and hasn't made his mind up, and we're under Raev's jurisdiction, the goddess of fate, so she could fate it away or something
>>31175686Yeah, I'm just going to not bother participating until it ceases being an issue he keeps pushing for because its just not fun dealing with it, when it should not even be an issue at this point.Mike made his decision, and I thought we were finished with it, but it turns out we're not, so I be archive binging every once in a while until its no longer shitting up the quest.
>>31175689I think it's less the matter of him trying to screw us over than letting any decision be final for a full thread. I mean, what's the point of committing a character to anything when it'll be undone or made moot next session?
>>31175686Because obsession with Mike defines mpMonica's character. She literally cannot let the decision stand and that's all there is to it.
>>31175728Exactly, what the drama he's forcing down our throats, what the fuck was the point of Mike choosing us and spending the night with us and telling Monica about his choice and her accepting it (with threats if we fuck it up).It feels like he completely forgot that entire thread ever happened and keep the 'waifu war' going and just keep fueling the fire.What the fuck?
>>31175686>>So why the fuck is it still an issue being milked for all the drama AG can get out of it?I'm not. I need something to fill the ingame month and a half, for one thing, and for another, I want to show more of the setting. The King, on his part, made this decision because he knew you were there during the 'decision', and he's worried things were... swayed. Finally, I've already said I wouldn't put you into a position where you lose without being able to come back from it, because it's fun for no one, period. I even reversed the Dress thing because the second vote was easily seen as railroading, and you really should have seen it coming.
>>31175728>I mean, what's the point of committing a character to anything when it'll be undone or made moot next session?I've seen it happen both ways, here and away. By now it feels like a fact of life.
>>31175686Because the King is right you shithead.Michael DOES have Mommy issues that we're tied up in, and we DID have an unfair advantage over Monica because we're constantly touching Michael all the time.He did not make an informed judgment, and if we're jumping straight to marriage, then he needs to get his shit together.
>>31175753>>31175728>>31175686>>31175663>>31175607>>31175598>>31175547Why are you replying to yourself? Are you confused?
>>31175669>Just look at the constant "Use the EYE!!!" suggestions.Annelin has all right to be paranoid, what's anoying is how few times AG ever lets us use it
>>31175777I'm one of of those posts, and I'm confused why you'd think it is one person
>>31175757We did see it coming. The people who voted for it saw it coming as well.
>>31175788>Constant samefagging for half the votes this thread>All the posts have similar style (especially allcaps DRAMA)>Samefaggotry is almost always anti-monica or simple anger at authorityIt's not that huge a leap.
>>31175757>Finally, I've already said I wouldn't put you into a position where you lose without being able to come back from itWell apparently you're more than happy to put us in a position where we've 'won' but can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.Let me know when this shit with Monica is over with cause I won't be playing until its done, the drama just ain't fun.
>>31175757We did see it coming.No offense, but why wouldn't a time skip or Raev specific development, followed by the duel, followed by Michael having to get off his ass and go out into the world have worked instead? Or would that reveal something plot relevant?
>>31175812Your mad is delicious. No one is making you post.
>>31175812It's not the end of the world if we don't get Michael.
>>31175825Yeah, I'd vastly prefer any of those to this mess.
>>31175812>Well apparently you're more than happy to put us in a position where we've 'won' but can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.Well, yeah. That's the price for always having a way to wriggle out of failure, you ought also always have the option of undoing your success.
>>31175851After all this time, yes it would be.
>>31175851We really need to find the kid a nice woman who's competent to run his empire should anything happen to the boy.
>>31175863Nope.Did you forget Raev's lessons about dealing with failure? Because frankly I'm pretty sure playing as a queen would be dull as fuck.
>>31175886This. A thousand times this.
>>31175886Well, hopefully Annelin's character would get retired and we could go off adventuring as Ja'al and Gina, or the next generation or something.
Hey, did we ever get that ring to equip our armor in a pinch and if so did we ever set it up to Simon the right gear?
>>31175863This comes to >>31175764If the curt gladiator has turned soap opera girl just because of having one option left, shit has gone retarded.
>>31175886>Because frankly I'm pretty sure playing as a queen would be dull as fuck.So your saying because you imagine playing as queen would be boring, we should just give up and end the relationship with Michael?wutThe idea that if Annelin became queen she's have to be the spitting image of Monica or entirely job focused is absurd and stupid, it would be crazy to force that on her with so little of the setting explored and set in concrete, hell Mike, as king, could just delegate everything to his dad or someone to run things for him while we go adventuring or anything else could happen.Fuck giving up on Mike just because you think being queen would be dull.
One thing we definitely need to bring up next thread is if Monica is really sure she wants to give up her virginity on a maybe?Because we're pretty sure the gentry over here still give way too many fucks about that kind of thing, and she'd really be going all-in on this.
>>31175945No, I'm saying that it's not the end of the world if we don't get Michael.We don't need to be a crazy desperate bitch about it.
>>31175851But then powergaming faggots wouldn't get the royal, high-placed partner to ladder climb with.
>>31175886I'd rather not just ignore and throw away all emotional investment and development we have with a character just because you can't imagine being queen could be fun when we've no idea what it would entail.
>>31175946She did say that's how she rolls. Given the prince's escapades, prayers as contraceptives and stuff, I doubt it would make many waves
>>31175960I don't think this is about powergaming. They just arbitrarily decided it was Michael or nothing, despite shutting things down with Teel and Karl. And preemptively doing so with Deckerd.Like apparently not getting Michael means we'll be forever alone or some shit?
>>31175945Again, I'd suggest that we just play as someone else if that came to pass.
>>31175957But thats exactly Annelin's character on the subject of Michael, it would be the end of her world, and regardless of whether her goddess says to chill out or relax, that does not immediately overwrite all of her emotions
>>31175964No, I'm just saying that the QM doesn't have to make us win or the quest is ruined.
>>31175980I really wish that my theory that Michael was actually a girl raised to believe she was a boy turned out correct. Then Anne would have just moved on and none of this toxic drama would have ensued.
>>31175990Too bad, no one agrees. All success or it's "lol killer QM"
>>31175990Well with the amount of time and effort spend on Michael in the quest compared to everything else, it would be ruined, and you're starting to imply that you don't want her to 'win', which is just OOC for Annelin.
>>31175986Maybe in your fucked-up mindset, but not mine.In mine she can actually be mature about things like this, because she listened to her goddess and has long ago learned not to tie her self-worth to whether or not a guy likes her.
>>31175964Hey, we could still be his friend and surrogate big sister, like we started as. We just don't have to fuck him on occasion.
Oh, I almost forgot my teaser image for next thread.
>>31176008It would not. Most of our time and effort has been spent helping Michael become a man. Only a very minor amount of that has been trying to fuck him.
>>31176010buddy, let me say that right back at you>and has long ago learned not to tie her self-worth to whether or not a guy likes her.Raev advised her on that like 3 days ago, she's not changed, and has not 'long ago learned' that, her emotions are still the same on the matter, I'm not going off my 'fucked-up mindset', I'm going off how AG has written her, how her character has been portrayed
>>31176016Monica looks hot in a uniform.
>>31176025>I'm not going off my 'fucked-up mindset', I'm going off how AG has written her, how her character has been portrayedNo. You're not. You're really not.Bedtime for real this time.
>>31175986The outburst is not the thick of it. Ruffles and massages is. Both fit in by Ann's daydreaming and caretakingMike or bust is a marketable slogan, but it isn't "IC"
>>31176025She learned that before she met Michael.She should have remembered that, but you guys just can't not be immature bitches.
>>31176016I'm not sure whether thats a guy or girl...>>31175981I'd love it if Annelin 'won' Mike and they married and she became queen and we took control of another character and let them be happy, hell, we could timeskip and be the royal protector of their kid, which would be awesome.I really want to see that idea now, of Mike and Ann settling down as king and queen and us playing the new bloodline protector for their child.
>>31176025So, you're saying this is a Raev provided learning opportunity on how to deal with the emotional pain of loss and on how to positively move on from moments of failure? That would be kind of cool.
>>31176035>No. You're not. You're really not.Well thats what I'm getting from YOUR writing, so yes, I am.
>>31176025Haaaaaaaaaaaaave you met Dekard?
>>31176069Has he met Teel?
>>31176025>vision interpreted from writing>>31176035>says vision interpreted from writing is falseWell thats a problem, might want to work on that AG, cause it seems anons have very different mental images of characters from your writing, might want to work to make your vision more clear otherwise its just going to cause more problems like this.
>>31176081One guy doesn't get it.Because he sucks.
>>31176048>I'd love it if Annelin 'won' Mike and they married and she became queen and we took control of another character and let them be happy, hell, we could timeskip and be the royal protector of their kid, which would be awesome.>>I really want to see that idea now, of Mike and Ann settling down as king and queen and us playing the new bloodline protector for their child.That would be fucking awesome, I'd pay to see that happen and get rid of this drama and the arguments that come from it.
>>31176081I agree, I think the image of Annelin as a cute and stuttering love struck schoolgirl is being interpreted as serious instead of comedy by some. Time to remind them that while she has a heart of gold, she's still a hard woman.
>>31176107I'm more invested in Annelin though.And I don't like the idea that a woman's life is over for everything but pumping out babies once she gets married.
>>31176114>And I don't like the idea that a woman's life is over for everything but pumping out babies once she gets married.Neither do I anon, but the anons arguing against her being queen seem to think thats the end of her character and what will happen if she becomes queen.
>>31176081The votes have been making her seem autistic waifu level. Because the winning voters have been taking the autistic road.
>>31176035Well to be honest most of your writing comes of really unclear, it is at times hard to follow who is saying what and what is going on because you simply do not explain enough.
>>31176107Except we'd just immediately waifu their kid again and never go out and explore the world. If there's one thing this quest has shown, AG is solid with world building and good at writing protagonists, but doesn't know how to deal with a PC designed to play second fiddle to an NPC. To be fair, that isn't easy, still, I think that experiment probably should not be repeated next time around.
>>31176110But she's a thirty-something year old (IIRC) gladiatress. That's obviously schoolgirl material. It's just like from everyone favorite anime's.
>>31176150Yeah, I'm feeling the same, a lot of the writing misses a lot of information about the environment and the characters body language and actions, the posts seem very sparse and lacking in ambient detail we need to imply things or gain context and help properly interpret things, and it gets worse when AG is tired and worn out.AG, at times, your writing is anything but clear, a lot of the time it seems that you write updates assuming we know the context and background and environment of whats happening like you do in your head, and it makes forming a coherent vision of whats occurring very hard.Thus you get issues like >>31176025 & >>31176035If anons are forming a vision of characters and events in their head differently than what you intend, thats a problem, like >>31176150 says, it becomes hard to follow who is saying what and doing what, whats implied, what the context is.The end result is we start forming opinions based on incomplete information and while its by no means deliberate, not properly conveying your intent through your writing is causing problems, its definitely something you should work on.
>>3117620025-28 year old with several serious long term relationships in her past and a fling about a week ago. But who's really paying attention to her backstory?
What should have happened was that we wore the red dress and jewelry without underwear, then headed over to Monica the second we got to the party and proclaimed our thanks for her taking care of our dress for us. That would have been an interesting scene.
>>31176234>[Winning votes] run her as a slightly emotionally insecure womanIt's not on AG, or how the character was presented, it's in what ends up winning by a few votes. He writes the votes.The repeated "not what I meant" wails should tell enough of that.
>>31176132To be fair, do you trust anyone in this setting besides the PC not to get mind controlled, turn evil or have some sort of horrible agenda? No? Then I doubt paranoid Anne would want to leave her kids with them.
>>31176234This. A Thousand times this.
>>31176311I don't know, sometimes he is clear and people just don't pay attention.
>>31176150>>31176234A perfect example is the mess of the party(s?), I had no fucking idea that there were 2 parties, one now and a formal one later and didn't get anything implying that from the posts
>>31176322No, you were just fucking retarded and don't understand that this is a small, family event for greater security. Karl went over this in detail, for fuck's sake, no less than a few threads ago. Avalon said in the qtg people always skim, and while I don't, I see it everywhere.
>>31176322Cuz there aren't two parties. There's the birthday party (tonight) and the duel/coronation in in a month and a bit, which spreally shouldn't be called a party, but was.
>>31176276>The repeated "not what I meant" wails should tell enough of that.Yeah a lot of the time it seems he takes votes that are modified or write-ins and completely misses the intent of them
>>31176347Well some of that is more the players missing the intent, namely what mindset the MC is in.Like it was repeatedly shown that Annelin was mad as fuck at the time.
>>31176340Well it was said that he'd go through his coming of age ceremony at his birthday party and that it would be a big deal and we saw that as the window of time we had to 'win' him in, then it turns out its not and his 'coming of age ceremony' is after the duel/formal coronation
>>31176340That really should have been made clearer, we're wandering into events and business with no idea of whats planned, what we're doing or what we're meant to be doing and we're looking like and acting like headless chicken because of it.
>>31176347Yeah, I will never stop regreting trying to make an off the cuff joke about needing to pray to the good of nightmare's to leave us alone and having Annelin suddenly start telling Michael that demons we're visiting her in her sleep. Not being able to talk to Ja'al about that without the principle's involvement was my fault and I still regret it.
>>31176321>sometimes>>31176339Where we even told the party would start the second we got back from the hunt?And even if it was, why not just explicitly state it in this post >>31171885 so we can avoid posts like this >>31171947
>>31176401Fucking this.AG just completely glosses over whats going on and we're left confused as to what we're meant to be doing or how to act.
>>31176401>>Where we even told the party would start the second we got back from the hunt?When it was said it was that night, we went out, came back, it was night, and LO, IT OCCURRED.
>>31176413>AG just completely glosses over whats going onor people actually ignore what was stated several threads ago and need shit repeated every single fucking thread, like this moron: >>31176401
>>31176417>When it was said it was that nightLast thread, not this one.Always have to remember, /tg/ has memory issues, so some innocent reminding can go a long way to preventing problems like this entire thread.
>>31176417Yeah, but we didn't get time to coordinate with Michael's sword instructor to see if we could ramp up his training regiment, or wid Deckard to see if he'd fill in for us while we're away on business. There's a lot we needed to get squared away this thread to deal with the unexpected field trip that we weren't given the opportunity to handle.
>>31176441So, what, AG has to remind everyone of everything at the start of every fucking thread, summarizing the entire quest into a series of posts so he can then say "So now that we're all on the same page..." half an hour later? Fuck that. If people can't keep up with /clearly stated shit/, too fucking bad. The archive link is right there.
>>31176464>There's a lot we needed to get squared away this thread to deal with the unexpected field trip that we weren't given the opportunity to handle.Yep.
>>31176541>Implying that we're just gonna get shipped off without prepChrist, the lack of faith here is astonishing. The QM having to tell people time and time again that no, he's not going to fucking murder you without warning, then people assuming he will within a few hours, it's atrocious. Yeah, a lot lies on the QM, but a total lack of trust can kill a quest pretty surely as well.
>>31176570Yeah, he won't randomly kill us, but he'll shove his own interpretations of whatever input we give down our throats
>>31176592For fuck's sake, we are not Annelin. We are suggesting to Annelin.
>>31176570There's a huge difference between getting fucking murdered, and getting the chance to plan for our absence here. Look I need to pass out, so we'll just have to see tomorrow (assuming we get through the party and it's inevitable combat based interruptions), fair? Fair. Good night.
>>31176601Then what is the point in playing?
>>31176592You are aware that Annelin isn't bi, right?
>>31176611What is the point in playing Hero Quest?
>>31176617I'm not
>>31176626Maybe you should think about that. This quest might not be the format you're looking to play.
>>31176614Who gives a shit! Majority rules! No matter what! Ignore whole posts from the QM, skim and post as fast as possible!Fuck all you people.
>>31176644Calm down bro, most of the sane and rational players left when the thread ended, all thats left are those arguing with the trolls and stupid ones.No need to get worked up over it.
>>31176592>>31176611If it boils down to "your choices a shit, see my statblock" then there's no point for you.
>>31176720Maybe people who want to play a bi/lesbian character should not be in a quest where the MC has been specified as straight from THREAD MOTHERFUCKING ONE AND EACH THREAD FOLLOWING FOR AT LEAST TWENTY GOD DAMN THREADS
>>31176644You left the chat before I could finish what I was typing, but relax and take a few deep breaths dude. What I was about to finish typing:Maybe you should make that known, preface a thread with a serious business post saying whats annoying or not fun about it anymore but make your commitment to see it through clear, maybe get a few of them to understand your perspective and your side of things, I'm sure some of them might back off or work to being less stupid, maybe get them to realize how stupid they are and jar them out of it
>>31176779All it would fucking do is piss them off, and you know it.
>>31176788All I know is there are a few fellow anons trying to be sane and decent players arguing against the stupid ones, maybe ignoring or veto'ing the out of character ones might help them realize this ain't the quest for them or bring them back in line, but thats something to think on with calmer, cooler heads prevailing after we're all well rested.Cheer up bro, I know me and several other anons are enjoying your work despite the stupid ones working against you, get some well deserved rest and may your dreams be filled with all the clothing destruction you can handle, and then some.
>>31176853I wish players would just ask if they weren't sure on something. That's all. I'm not gonna resummarize everything for people who don't read. But I will answer questions.
>>31176910Thats more than fair, and something I'll be trying to encourage and get the others to do.
All I'm going to say is that after all that we'd better have out spear and shield strapped to our back or I'm marching us back to our room to grab them. Being unprepared is just stupid at this point.
>>31175757>you really should have seen it coming.We did. We all did. Even those who voted for the red dress. They just wanted something funny to happen.We also seem to be pretty shit at detecting spells for a spellbreaker. Whats the deal with that?
>>31177596We got that equip ring. Hell, we coulda undone the nudening using that.
>>31176853As someone who is thoroughly enjoying the quest, you could stand to be a little more descriptive. As for the whole King/ambassador thing, I think it makes perfect sense for the king and I'm pretty excited to see more of the setting, but I can see where those who just want to move beyond this whole Us vs Monica thing would be upset.The main thing is I don't want you getting burnt out. If you need to take another break and run some one-shots I would understand.
