The Berserker has her arms wrapped around you in a crushing grip, your ribs almost creaking from the intense pressure. Her face is twisted, close to yours so that you can’t see it in its entirety. Your blood drips from her hands, the red dripping down and swirling around your ankles. Your body quivers from the tiredness of a long, losing fight, your eyes barely managing to stay open.

You are John Galt and while the above statement may be true on a certain level, to you it’s a massive load of horse shit.

For one, if anyone called Tatsuko “Berserker” to your face seriously, especially after all that you’d gone through, you’d more than likely punch them in the face or at least seriously consider it. Another is that while she does have a seriously strong grip on you right now, that’s more because she’s about to cry and is at the same time supporting your seriously weak body, that you got cut up earlier by you PT teacher. It was worth it, at least mostly, but it has reminded you that you do not exist in a world where the girls will only get upset or mad at you at the convenience of the plot.

You feel Tatsuko shudder slightly in your arms as well, a massive rise of emotions slowly flowing out of her as you continue to hold her, both of you still wet and clothed in the shower as the very last bit of the dried blood on you is finally swallowed by the drain. You feel her body un-tense, her chin finally sliding down to your shoulder.

“I don’t want to be alone again…” she says softly into your ear.

>You…you can’t really say anything right now. Just give her a squeeze to let her know you heard.

I think tatsuko is sentient, and just promising her to not let her be alone again is not enough.

So, my idea is this - tell her to just stay there for a moment, go and then beg kaname and akeno to join you, bring the interference cube kaname had and then show her that there are more sentients than just her and you.

>Promise that she won’t be.

Looks like you guys are promising she wont be alone again.

>>
>>31982439
>Promise that she won’t be.
>>
>>31982662
We just survived a fight with death herself, and now she is on our side, I think we can promise it
>>
>>31982777
I maintain that just promising this is a bandaid at most.

We are reckless when it comes to the harem because we don't feel any threat from them. Even if they kill us, they'll probably pull us back together again. I don't think we'll stop being reckless, even after this promise.

Further, Tatsuko is acting like we're the only other person who can understand her - i.e. she thinks we're the only two sentients. Her situation is similar, but also very different from akeno. We need to show her it's not just us.

Also, this entire sequence has rocketed confirming the sentience of our harem to the top of my priority list. Tomorrow we need to go talk to chris and karasuba. After that we probably need to have like a family dinner or something with just the harem, while under the effects of an interference cube. They need to get to know one another. I think part of their anger at us is that Karasuba is sort of an unknown to them. All they know is that she's crazy and teaching us.
>>
>>31982777
haha no. We just had the shit beat out of us by a not even trying karabusa for shits and giggles.
>>
>>31982862
You're assuming that Taksuko is acting like this because she is sentient and not because we're the first friend she has here. She's ridiculously attached to her cuddle-buddy because everybody else at the school is scared shitless of her, and we're not. She's stated this outright to us. We're the reason she has friends now, and she loves us for doing that.
>>
>>31982943
She doesn't want to be alone again. That's a pretty specific plea she gave us, and to me heavily implies she is both sentient and hurting because she's living in a world where she can't be sure anyone really cares for her except for us.

Remember that she talked about how much she missed her family when we first met her.
>>
>>31982992
Not telling. That can and has been the main motivation of anime characters before.
>>
Maybe more along the lines. "I promise you one thing I will not leave you! I may get hurt. I may ever be hurt very badly. But I will never leave you!"
>>
>>31982992
Or that she's lost someone before?
All of the NPC's will have back stories. It's dictated by the nature of the show. I also would be willing to bet that the back stories of NPC's can also be adjusted depending upon our actions and what would make the show "interesting".
As such, I feel that you're projecting too much on to this. There are multiple ways of interpreting what she's saying, but we currently don't have much to determine which interpretation is accurate.

You…you can’t help it. She’s just…

She’s fury incarnate in a fight, an unstoppable force of nature against everything you’ve seen. She’s apparently feared far and wide by most of the campus, sans you, most of the girls who live in the house in the past few weeks and probably the teachers.

And you can’t help but feel that most of all she’s simply incredibly lonely.

So you do, you promise her, even though you aren’t exactly positive you can keep it that way.

“You won’t,” you say, “I promise you that you won’t be alone again.”

As you say this you give her the best squeeze you can, which isn’t great but she seems to accept it well.

You…you want to tell her. You’re pretty sure you know why she’s so afraid. But you can’t, not at the moment since you don’t have one of the magic doohickeys that seems to turn off the ability of “whoever” it is that is watching.

So you promise something that you may or may not be able to keep, but you mean nonetheless.

“You mean it?” she ask, your ribs creaking just a little more.

“Yes,” you say honestly.

“You better,” she mutters, finally releasing her grip on you enough so that you aren’t afraid your ribs are about to be turned into powder, “I…I’d miss you.”

It’s with that that the two of you finally get out of the shower. Tatsuko turns off the water, both of you stepping out of the shower as she dries you off and then herself. You probably could’ve helped, but while you’re getting a little better, you’re still weak and tired.

Tatsuko finishes, then opens the door. You step outside.

There’s a couple options for you now.

>Get Tatsuko to take you to bed, you’re bushed. Anything else can wait.
>Go downstairs, you need food before you pass out and…well you can get the worst of it out of the way.

Food is always the best plan.

>>31983400
Quiet thread today.
>>
>>31983189
You glance down the stairs, your stomach rumbles. You’re hungry, very hungry in fact. But you really think that you might just pass out any second. So you make your decision based upon that.

“I need to go to sleep,” you tell Tatsuko, whom nods, letting you lean on her as you make it to the large king bed that you…well you kinda share it with her. And everyone else. And sometimes the couch. What you’re trying to say is that you really don’t have a permanent place to sleep yet.

You don’t even really feel the bed. You saw Tatsuko pull back the covers, then you barely felt the pillow and then you blacked out.

You wake up…later.

You don’t know how long it’s been, where exactly you are or what happened in the meantime, but you’re pretty sure it’s the real world.

At least you hope it is because if not it has an awful lot of really good copies of most of your harem.

Let’s see…Tatsuko seems to have claimed sleeping behind you as her rightful spot. Creaking your eyes open, you see Akeno. And a glance down at your feet show that Chris has somehow curled up around them in a position that does not look comfortable at all.

You feel…better at least. Your stomach feels like it’s starting to gnaw on your backbone a little, but that’s nothing a large meal shouldn’t fix. It lets out a rather large grumble to let you know it agrees.

A small shift gets you some moans and groans from the three, but you can’t seem to move enough to get them to wake.

“They were worried about you,” says Kaname’s voice from behind you, where you can’t see, “I was too. Just because you can’t die doesn’t mean we don’t worry about you.”

“Yeah,” you say, “I kinda figured that out.”

“Was it worth it?” she asks, “Whatever the reason was?”

You don’t respond at first. It’s a loaded question, something that requires a thought out answer that you aren’t sure you can provide at the moment.

It takes a few moments, but you finally come up with something that…well you think it’ll be ok at least.

“Yes,” you say, which is immediately answered by simply more silence, which you guess means she’s waiting for an explanation.

“I didn’t realize that this would happen,” you continue, “not this badly this early. So, on one level that’s a good thing to know, even as much as it hurts me to know that you felt that way.” You pause, taking a breath.

“But in the long run I think it was worth it. It was my first fight which could even be considered hard and I didn’t do too badly. Ms. Black was holding back, but I gave as good as I got. It managed to get her on our side too, officially now,” you speak lightly, letting Kaname figure out what you actually mean, “So whenever things get…deeper, we should have some help.”

It’s here that you take a breath.

“Finally…you know I could just lay back, let you girls do everything. That’d be fine on a certain level. But…but I couldn’t, I won’t do that to all of you. It would hurt me just as much to see any of you hurt and know I could’ve done something to stop it. Even if it hurts me. So, yes, it was worth it. But I realize that I was pretty stupid afterwards.”
>>
>>31984832
There’s silence for a few moments, then Kaname sighs and you hear her stand. You turn your head a little, but then you feel lips on your cheek.

“You’re still an idiot,” she says, “But at least your heart is in the right place.”

“I agree,” says Akeno, apparently awake, surprising you as draws your head towards her and holds you, “But don’t do it again or I’ll zap you good.”

Well, you guess it’s a good thing you don’t have to make that speech twice. You can’t help but grin just a little.

It takes a few minutes, but Kaname manages to get Tatsuko to wake up and let you go. Chris takes a little more, but eventually everyone is awake, gets changed and heads downstairs.

Breakfast is waiting for you, a large spread that seems to be partly made by your enchanted kitchenware, partly by Riela and Imca who are waiting for the five of you to come down.

As all of you dig in, energy coming back into your body as you do so, Kaname asks, “So, do you have any plans for today?”

Confirm that Chris, Tatsuko and Karasuba are sentient. Set up a dinner with just the harem, under an interference cube.

We also should try to contact slenderchan while we lounge around the house today. Although not entirely sure how maybe via a nap. Possibly using the dream-catcher to actually catch her.

If we can't do that, we should try summoning Jenkins to see if our summoning level up changed anything.

Yes, I know we all hate Jenkins, but we shouldn't ignore him.There's a chance he might be useful later, and ignoring him completely would just be a waste.

“Well, I think those sports girls said they might be coming over,” you reply, trying not to shove too much food in your face as you talk, “So I guess I’ll have to deal with them.”

You gulp, swallowing a mix of eggs and sausage.

“But other than that,” you pause, wondering how to word this correctly, “I was thinking about getting all of…us…together,” you say to her, “Maybe over dinner.”

Kaname seems to grasp your meaning and nods, glancing at Akeno, who seems to glance at you and then nods just slightly.

“So a relatively light day then,” says Chris, whom is the only one still slightly miffed at you. But she was never all that mad, at least you thought so, just mostly drawing off of the other girls.

“Yeah,” you answer, “Just some talking, maybe a little enchantment studying, cooking dinner later maybe.”

“Good,” says Chris, glancing at the other three, who are apparently calming her down a little bit.

It’s here that you hear a knock on the door.

You go to stand, but Akeno stands first, giving you a glance that keeps you in your chair, finishing your meal.

You manage to finish mopping up everything from your plate, before Akeno comes in and nods towards the living room. “You have guests,” she says.

Nodding back, you stand and walk to the living room.

Inside you have three guests, the leader, the flirty one and the girl who healed you.

How do you greet them?

perhaps we could ask Kaede what she would do if she met Slendy. then if she wouldn't be mean to her we could suggest the two of us take a nap together and try to reach her at which point we spend like 10 protag points to try to get a hold of her.

“Hello,” you say casually, taking a seat on one of the chairs near the couch, “I’m sorry I don’t really have food made like I promised, I wasn’t sure you’d show up after my…appearance yesterday.”

“Well, I must say that it was memorable,” says Galland, relaxing a bit as you open with chit-chat and not business, “Even if you did seem a little less awe inspiring than what we’d heard.”

“Well, I don’t actually know what they say about me,” you smile, “But it’s probably not all that true.”

Galland chuckles a bit, “Maybe, but if it’s even a little true, it’ll probably be worth it.”

You shrug, then look at the pigtailed girl from before, “I never did get your name,” you say.

“Georgette, Georgette Lemare,” she answers.

“Well, let me say thanks for healing me,” you say, before turning back to Galland, “So, what exactly are you looking for from me? You explained Witchball a little, but I’m not sure what enchantments you’re looking for.”

“Well…” Galland pauses, glancing at the other two, “There are three things we’re looking for and maybe one we’re hoping for.”

You raise your eyebrow.

“Well, the three are speed, defense and maneuverability,” she says, as if that’s obvious, “Seeing as how all of those are necessary to win in Witchball.”

“And the last thing?” you ask.

“Well, we told you how witchball is largely about customization?”

You nod.

“We’ve been going over the rule book a lot lately, due to…issues, we’ve been having,” She says this in the tone of an athlete who doesn’t like losing, “Mostly due to other teams having more funds than us.”

“What does this have to do with me then?”
>>
>>31986680
“We were hoping that maybe you could…figure out something more powerful than a broom for us to ride. It’s not in the rules that you have to fly a broom, just something that is witch powered.”

“You want me to invent something for you to fly around on?” you ask, a little stunned.

“In short, yes,” says Galland, shrugging, “At least we’d like you to try. If not, upgrading our equipment should work well enough. If we can work out some form of non-monetary payment.”

You pause. Inventing something new? How the hell, where the hell would you even start? You might be able to pull something off…but then again you aren’t sure you could. But if you did…they’d be heavily indebted to you. Or you could skip that entirely and just try enchanting the stuff they have now. Plus, the whole no money thing…what would you want from the Witchball team?

Hmm.

1. Our name on the final product or at least refered to when they mention it.

I have a brilliant idea that may or may not be okay with Guide, so this is pending his approval.

Okay, so we get the witchball team to collect scrap metal for us. After that, we pull out the protag points and do a little enchanting..

When we're finished, we have what's pretty much a junkyard gundam, specially made for the witchball team. We probably wouldn't be able to build one for all of them though (assuming we can build one), so they'd only get one.

If it works, we now have a grateful team of healers with a flying junkyard gundam.

Oh, there can be value to money in a post-scarcity environment. It would just mostly represent and pay for services, real estate, and other such parts of the economy, with material goods being extraordinarily cheap.

The fuck kind of quest do you think this is? We have nothing to advertise. And the merchandise your talking about doesn't exist.

We should talk about payment later. And the only thing they have to offer us in air support when we get into our next big fight.

Boots and wings Nigga. One for thrust, one for Manuverability. That way when one's damaged, you still have the other to maintain you, so that you can at least manage to land safely, either by tempering thrust, and aiming, or by gliding.

How about we just ask them to evaluate our prototype enchantments? It'll save us time and effort in the long run and we can make money off that.

>>31987610
I'm pretty sure this started off from one or two of our dates and us cringing at the prices in a way that suggested we don't have unlimited funds.
>>
>>31987610
You said in a previous thread that you will give us enough money to buy food for the table, and that if you want more than that we need to work it out in a different way. Making exponential money off of merch could just be added to that unwritten income from 'enough to buy food' to 'you have enough to buy lots of shit to experiment on in enchanting.'

Alright.

I don't want to be that QM.

But with where all of this is going, I need to talk to anon and this seems like the best time.

Do you guys want to go there?

Money, stats, you need xy reagent to make z enchantment?

Or would you rather keep it "vague" and focus more on the girls, making friends/allies and dealing with badguys.

I'd like all of your opinions on this seeing as how there is some split, so consider this a Q&A session.

I think that keeping it vague on the essential bits is good. food and such shouldn't be a worry. It should be the extra-curricular stuff (ie the real world-breaking shit) that should have material requirements. Don't make it too easy for us, I guess.

No stats. The number crunch will end up killing progress.
>>
>>31987787
I'd like for magic to be more important. Like, we're supposed to be an enchanting savant, but we barely use it. Our mana pools are basically never touched.

I don't necessarily want a lot of detail about this, just more plot relevance.

To be honest I think we are just trying to figure out how we can in story acquire enough money to never have to worry and have a lot of disposable income for adventures.
>>
>>31987787

Good god no! Keep the stats and background crap vague so we can focus on people and (when necessary) PLOT.

It's fine as is, so I say vague. Honestly, most of that was probably just some anons looking for something to bitch about. All's good Guide, proceed as normal.

>>31987610

What are the rules concerning students having part time jobs? Are we allowed to have them? If we are, we could ask all our "gang members" at our dorm to get one, to help keep them off the streets and actually do something with all their free-time, so that they have more money for themselves and maybe ask like a really small amount from everybody living at the dorm to pay for food and stuff. Since they are really staying there for free with board and food, a little contribution would not be bad. And also the girls in jobs could end up getting connections at their jobs which we could use later.

What about selling magically simple non-dangerous enchanted stuff on like Ebay or whatever outside of the school or within school?

>>31987787
Vague and focus on our girls, making friends, and taking out baddies.
>>
>>31987787
I would definitely prefer keeping it vague, but you have made several overtures in the past towards us having to manage money. We have enough money for everything except "super-expensive purchases", but what if one of those super-expensive purchases could be really useful? What if we want to forge a sword made from Thunderbolt Iron? Meteoric iron tends to be hard to find and expensive.
>>
>>31987883
We make a restaurant
>>
>>31987787
Soft Quests like this tend to die when crunch is added. Please keep it vague.
>>
>>31987787
Keep it vague, but somewhat coherent. It's useful to have some guidelines so we have enough money to cover what we need, but not enough to buy Ferrari's for everyone, but it doesn't really need to be addressed in detail.
>>
>>31987787
I like it vague.
How about the expensive/ rare reagents aren't for sale, but can be gotten through battle, favors traded, special dispensation from teachers, etc.
That way they are in-world expensive, but John Galt still has to do plot stuff instead of econ-min-maxing.
>>
>>31987787
Just have "strong funding power" and "clout in the Witchball world" as assets for later events.

That sounds like a good end goal.

Ok. So you guys like it as is.

A couple things to clear up.

1. You are not buying food for the 200+ Delinquents that live nearby.
2. You aren't even buying all the food for your house.
3. There will be ways to get "enchanment" items other than buying them.
4. You haven't even touched some of the ideas I've had, so I'll try and get you to them faster. Like say, the enchanting club/department.
>>
OKAY GUYS, LET'S JUST GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY.

All groups are school condoned, even supported as we see in how they enforce that the losing side must either join, disband, or be expelled. If they are school condoned and have to register, it's safe to assume that they are registering not just for the hell of it, but also so the school can keep track of the logistics. Obviously, a large group like ours would need space, food, and equipment. By that logic, we can just keep it vague and assume that the school is covering the group's basic finances, meaning no one will go hungry, we just won't be able to build a golden statue of ourselves tossing dosh or anything stupid like that.

There, I just fluffed it out for you. Now we can stop worrying about money and focus on the waifus.
>>
>>31987787
Focus should definitely be on characters and dealing with badguys but that rises the problem of us having a fucking army so our enemies would probably need one too and that rises the problem of recources and such. In this case just saying that we lack resources to do something is a problem because we don't have the means of acquiring them or using them efficently. What if we want to buy a tank? What if we want to buy a dozen tanks and taek ouver the school? What if we want to TAKE OVER THE WHOLE GODDAMN WORLD?

Keep things vague but not non-existant. The point of this whole thing was the fact that we may need money and apparently we don't have it so let's make it something we don't have to worry about.

You sigh. All of this is well and good, but really, you currently have no real reason to help them. They aren’t your friends, currently, and you aren’t there’s.

But their idea is interesting at the very least. You might be able to use whatever you make for them yourself or at the very least get you some interesting toys to play with.

“I can look into it,” you say, getting a small grin from Galland, “But what this really comes down to is, why? I personally have no need for it and, well, my girls and I are doing ok right now. Persoanlly, the only things I can think of that you can offer me at the moment are perhaps an alliance in whatever school wars happen to come my way or perhaps some healing, which I could probably get somewhere else if it came down to it.” You sigh.

“So, basically, what I’m asking is what’s in it for me? You all seem nice, nicer than the last group I met for certain, but I need something in return before I put too much time and effort into trying to develop something entirely new for you.”

It’s here that Galland sighs, and the pale haired girl from before leans forward.

“That’s what we came down to as well,” she says, “And if you’re able to develop something new, something dominant for us, we can support you entirely. If it’s just enchantments, well then we may be able to work something else out, like maybe passing you information. We’re willing to support you provisionally until you figure something out. But if you wait too long, we might need to re-evaluate.”

So, it’s come down to what you’re willing to accept. They want you to try and make something completely new for them, but in exchange you get their full support in any other school shenanigans that come up. Or you could just do some basic things for some information.

we really need one of there equipment people to consult with us ideally whichever one is best at the rules so we can exploit all the loopholes

Can we get white haired witch or Imca into Harem?
>>
Just as a side note, if we're really building enchanted flying mechs for the team, I seriously hope we keep one for ourselves. Think about it:
>Bump sword fighting up to expert
>Use emchanted flying armor
>Leave torso exposed like the others' so we can show off how FABULOUS we are
It's a match made in heaven.

>>31988715
We don't have infinite space in our harem.
We just have that one free slot for Slendere.

Just adding more slots is a bad idea, as we're still limited to Guide's updates. I don't really see us adding more than 2 more girls before it gets too cumbersome.

“It’s a deal then,” you say nodding, “We can work together, help each other out and both end up happy in the end. It’s not like I’m currently trying to pick fights with anyone.”

The pale haired girl snorts and Galland chuckles a bit at your statement.

“Really? Because I do seem to remember you staggering into our practice room covered in blood last night,” says the pale haired girl teasingly.

“That was just me though, I don’t pick fights for my group,” you say with a small grin back, acknowledging her point, “And I don’t think I’ve gotten your name either.”

“Aurora,” she says with a grin that you’re familiar with from Akeno, “My name is Aurora, a pleasure to finally be formally introduced.”

“I’m sure,” you say, giving her one of your own smiles back. Those tend to work less on you now, seeing as how you have several girls who sleep in the same bed as you every night.

>Witchball team has now joined your forces on a probationary basis. Permanent joining is conditional on you producing new and exciting things for them at least once.

It’s here that the three of them stand, led by Galland.

“I’m glad we were able to work something out,” she says, shaking your hand, the other two following suit.

“Me too,” you say, shaking their hands back.

“If you have any questions, you know where to find us,” she says as they file out.

“I’m sure we’ll talk,” you say, waving them out. Aurora seems to wave a little more…coyly, than strictly necessary, but it went well all things considered.


Turning back towards the main area of the house, you're suddenly grabbed and pushed up against the wall.

"HELP ME!" Says Kaede in a hoarse whisper, directly into your face.

...Shit.

Slendere, what did you do this time?

Bitch you crazy.

We just wanted a quiet day of talking to our waifus.

>>31988925
You creepin' on our Slendy? Don't do that. She eats SAN for breakfast.
>>
And I think I'm going to call it here for the night anon.

While I know this was not my best thread by any measure, I do feel I have learned some important things that will help in the future.

Sorry once more, hope you all continue to stick around for more.

Questions for a bit like normal.
>>
>>31988944
I think she means the amount of chicks we get? I dunno. Could be Slendere, or it could be something else entirely.

>>31988967
Thanks for running, guide.

can we make a magic jet engine?
ironman suits are they legal?
how about a flying metal fist?
can a recursive magic engine happen?
does the team need to match?

Oh. Well now I feel really bad about the amount of time we took up talking about merch and advertising. Damn.

I was thinking about Jenkins and how we were saying maybe we can summon more of him as we level summoning and will eventual find out he is a chick and can possibly turn into a sword.
if Guide goes that rough what are the general opinions on this progression

week Floating Hands and skull the fire is now optional
average full torso
strong whole skeleton
expert Girl & possibly sword

>And I think I'm going to call it here for the night anon.
Of coarse you are.

Don't sweat it G-man. Thanks for running and I'll catch ya next time.

>>31989015
Why does Jenkins even need to be a chick? He's a skeleton. We're not banging a skeleton. And turning into a sword is just... why? HE'S A SKELETON.
>>
>>31988992
what is a recursive magic engine happen
>>
>>31989042
>not wanting a sword waifu

you make me sick.
>>
>>31989015
Yeah, sorry, not interested in this. Maybe setting something up between him and house-chan, but skull-bro should remain skull-bro. No more to it than that.
>>
>>31988992
Yes.
Probably not for Witchball. For other uses, well, it depends.
Maybe?
In general I don't like put in X get out 2X because items.
I was going to say yes, but then realized, no, they don't.

>>31988994
Most definitely. And I need to be more on top of options for all of you.

I'm sad that it took almost a week to get another thread; but there's really nothing to control that.
>>
>>31989056
I never said I didn't want a sword waifu. I said, why does Jenkins A) have to be a chick when he's a skeleton, and B) for some reason be a sword, WHEN HE'S ALREADY A SKELETON?

Separate characters, man. they exist.

>>
>>31989097
>>31989118
These. Much as Sword-Waifu is appealing, Jenkins is his own character and I don't think crossing them is a good idea.
>>
>>31989042
>>31989118
The sword transformation was the fact that a sword waifu is objectively amazing. and it is a common trope that your best weapon embodies your spirit and he is our familiar that follows naturally.so we could combine them. If he stays a dude and we don't have the screen time for a house tan we could do like >>31989077 suggests.
and we only have screen time for so many characters.
>>
>>31989118
Because we're never going to summon jenkins unless she's a cute girl. And her getting fleshed out heh as we increase summoning would give us a goal.
>>
>>31989169
Eh, I honestly would like to see more of Jenkins. I don't get why everyone seems to dislike him so much. Or why we wouldn't summon him in downtime or something.
>>
>>31989194
You seem to be the only one.
>>
I was distracted for an hour and missed the end. I do always look forward to these threads.
>>
>>31989194
Because people didn't realize that when they voted for 'floating skull who's a dick', they'd actually get a floating skull who's a dick.
>>
We designed jenkins so we shouldn't be so hesitant to use him. Its just he hasn't really had a reason to be there until now.
>>
>>31989194
I agree. Jenkins may be a bit of a dick, but what's the point in having him if we never use him? We may as well summon him at least once in a blue moon to see if our summoning progression has changed him.

And who knows, there might come a day when we could use him for something. But pretending he doesn't exist just seems like such a waste.
>>
>>31989236
Some people designed him back at the very beginning of the quest.

Whether they're still around and in the majority is something else entirely.
>>
>>31989220
So basically, I read the archives, actually like the familiar proposed and now that I've caught up, he won't ever be called up because /tg/ doesn't like to think things through? Great.
>>
>>31989169
also this anon is right it is an attempt to make him a a less hated character. the other option on that is to make him obviously use full in some other way like he is our awesome spirit sword. The theory is if we combine them we get both goodness like peanut-butter and chocolate.

To the people nay saying >>31989015 dose the progression of body parts at least make sense and any ideas what to do at expert instead of full flesh?
>>
>>31989257
Well, for the progression of a skeletal familiar, the Ghastly to Haunter stage is cool, and of course a full skeleton is nice and probably the best place to stop. Floating torso is just kinda weird and I don't really see why he needs to change his physical form every time we increase summoning.
>>
>>31989247
I know I have been here for every thread since the beginning although I can't speak for others. Although I can in near then end of that thread and so didn't get to choose the name. It's just we know what we will be getting, but up until now we haven't been stable enough to unleash his arrogance.
>>
>>31989303
wut.

In his one appearance he was a dick. We don't summon him anymore because of that, not because of lack of stability.
>>
>>31989320
For me it was a lack of reason to summon him as well as lack of stability of our harem members and the potential damage he may cause compared to his comedic effects. Again I can't speak fro others. that is just my reasoning I have never forgot him.
>>
>>31989295
Because he told us that he's an entire skeleton, and the reason he can't bring it out is because we suck at summoning. Everybody extrapolated from that.
>>
>>31989303
>>31989320
Reading the archive the proposal was for a witty skeletal bro we could rib and be counter ribbed but who had our back in the end.
what we got was just a dick not a joking counter point and we also dismissed him because we thought he would make hitting on chicks harder.
>>
>>31989356
In fact I enjoyed him then but decided it was best to keep him away so as not to scare away girls. His antics also weren't useful for the nap and would most likely ruin harem moments so I agreed with having him vanish.
>>
>>31989320
Except the questers at the time designed him to be a dick. That was literally his entire character they came up with.

>>31989374
You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying why does every tier upgrade his physical form. It could easily be every other tier or something like that. And if he did say he was a full skeleton himself, why try to make him more than that other than the strange need for MORE waifus than what Guide is already providing for us.
>>
>>31989356
I think the biggest reason why he was choosen but never used was because we wanted a comic relief but then we decided that we'd rather have meaningful character interaction than hang out with a skull that acts like a dick.
>>
>>31989407
Ok, so why are you surprised no one now wants to summon him, then?

>>
>>31989429
Because it seems wasteful to create a character, one people persuaded Guide into giving them a chance to make, and just ignore it since the second or third thread.
>>
>>31989411
Not me I wanted his as some comical relief but mainly as our main annoyance and a reoccurring character that amuses audiences while making miserable the protagonist. Instead The quest thread grew from trying to please a harem audience as I was expecting to try to waifu certain girls and then get meaningful relationships established other than that honestly the quest haven't allowed for time for him to pop in which is not that bad in itself and in fact makes for more enjoyable plot than protag and skull shenanigans anyway.
>>
>>31989474
>implying it's the same people
>>
>>31989453

What can I say, being one of the few competent people in your position at a job can be a curse and a blessing.

Plus, two jobs. I'm kinda surprised I can run this much anyway.
>>
>>31989498
We love you and just want more of your writing. Sorry if the thread is a nuisance to your life, but you are making people happy.
>>
>>31989429
Some people thought that having an ass hole constantly floating over the MC's head would be fun. But it wasn't, it was just annoying. People don't want to summon him because he's annoying. We made a mistake.

Jenkins beat out a magical ferret by like one vote. I really wish we would have gone with the ferret.
>>
>>31989493
Fair enough. It's probably not the same people anymore, though it probably was when he was dismissed.

Anyway, I just feel like if people don't like him we should try and develop him a bit, he is our only familiar after all. Or convince Guide to retcon his existence and get a new one.
>>
>>31989532
If it was a nuisance, I wouldn't run it.

I enjoy this, it helps me keep writing.

Just sometimes I have ideas and they aren't what /tg/ thinks so I have to work with that.
>>
>>31989498
can we make a magic item that makes copies of some other magic item like a mana press that turns out one use defensive charm beads. And is this process possible for permanent magic items? obviously the manufacturing tool is much much more labor intensive to make then the result but I want to know if we can build tools so our minions can make cool mas produced magic items for us or if they are all bespoke.
>>
Before we do I want to see keade's reactions to the skull also I want to see slenderchan's reaction. So I also liked him though not more thean the grils though.
>>
>>31988660

>>31989582
Did we derail any of your plans today?

I honestly have no idea where you're planning to go with this, so I've just been voting for stuff that seems to make sense.
>>
>>31989597
Sorry my spelling is horrible at this point.
>>31989582
Sorry but if we had all the information you do any were writing we would probably have different idea's too. I was thinking I might animate some of this this summer If i have time. Would be better than several of the most recent harem animes I just don't know my schedule well enough right now.
>>
>>31989596
I'm not going to say no, but you still would need to put mana into it for it to work. And while your delinquent army will follow you into battle, they aren't going to just do whatever you say. Yet.

>>31989617
Enh, not terribly. I just happen to know the best option to pick, so I tend to think you'll see it too. Doesn't always happen.

>>31989655
Cool. I know I'd love some OC in the threads.
>>
That any should be and.

The animation would be strickly under the parody laws so would be protected from companies, but it would be 3d render because I had doing normal animation. That being said it would still take a long time
>>
>>31989532
You better be sorry, forcing me to run threads like this. You asshole.
>>
>>31989692
Hate. Fuck my spelling is just awful at this time. Anyway keep up the good work. I will let you know in a couple of weeks once things have settled down.
>>
>>31989685
On the magifacturing that was what i expected and of course we wouldn't force them to do it all the time though in a pinch it is useful we could even use this to make magic powered vending machines for charms and just have them take extra mana and use it excess to make us more charms.
