Hey guys. So, probably going to try and run a little longer than normal tonight, we’ll see what actually happens.

>Current Stats:
>Protag Points: 405
>Goddess Boons: 4
>Mana 40/40
>Harem Status 11/13

You are John Galt and you have just returned from what is almost your last harem member rescue. Currently Nanoha Takamachi is still pressed lightly against you, her lips touching yours with a feather lightness. She pulls away gently, her hand lightly touching your cheek.

“Thank you John,” she says.

“It’s my pleasure,” you say.

Turning, you see the rest of your harem now standing around, acting like they aren’t grinning at you. But your friend draws your attention.

(Very good job,) she says, (Only a few more to go. Would you like to keep going or…?)

And looks like an overwhelming vote for going for Kaede and making a comment.

Just a snark about them doing it?

“I’d like to continue,” you say to your friend, “There’s one more, right?” You don’t know why, but you know that there’s only one more harem member of yours left to save.

(Yes,) nods your friend, (I will prepare.)

“SO,” you say to nobody in particular, “I didn’t realize that I had a bunch of cute little boy lovers on my hands.”

There’s a brief silence.

“Maybe I should stop working out then, get all weak and thin…”

You are interrupted as Karasuba jumps in front of you her hands gripping your shirt.

“Don’t you dare,” she says, “Not after all the work I’ve gone through to get you where you are.”

“I dunno,” you reply, “Everyone else seemed to like it. I could probably make an enchantment to do it.”

“John…” says Kaname.

You just look at her.

“We get the point, alright?” she finally says, “We just…thought it would be cute.”

You shake your head. It’s not like any real harm was done.

“Just, let me know next time you do something like that,” you say, “It was kind of disorienting, even if it helped in the end.”

Kaname nods, Akeno and Elizasleyn looking a little disappointed as well.

“You weren’t serious about…about that?” asks Akeno, glancing down at your abs, which you know she likes.

“Maybe,” you say glibly, before turning to your friend, who’s brought up three scenes for you like normal.

The first is…well it’s…(Gun pointed at your head, scared body crawling away from you, light taste of …strawberries.)

Oh goddamn it’s Kaede, with what looks like her total bitch-mode face on, in the middle of a fight. You’re not sure if you need to save her or the ones she’s fighting.

The second is her in a school uniform, walking down the street.

The last is just a close-up of her face. You don’t know how that’s relevant to anything but…

(Well?) asks your friend.

>Fight.
>Street.
>Face.
>Other.

“The street scene,” you say.

(Very well) says your friend, leaning forward to kiss you.

She kisses you.

There’s a flash. It’s not right. It’s…dirty. You don’t like this.

There’s another flash. It’s still dirty.

A final flash.

You wake up in the scene.

Except it’s not right. You know you’re an outsider here. The very air is trying to reject you.

>-10pp.

You see Kaede standing next to a blue haired girl, looking almost like a love-struck puppy.

You think you see her glance your way, but you can’t be sure.

You fight…fight…you belong here, you have purpose.

The setting backs off, mostly. It’s not all the way gone, but it is enough that you can function.

>-3pp, 382 remaining.

You start to stride forward towards the pair, Kaede the only one who can see you.

Her eyes have some sort of forced look on them, like she knows she’s playing a role.

As you approach, she starts talking to the person in blue even more.

“Oh, Natsuro-san,” she says, “Are you sure you don’t want to go to the beach?”

The blue haired girl reaches up behind her head to scratch her hair, even as Kaede closes in on them. Somehow she still hasn’t noticed you.

Just as you’re about to enter the range where you could touch her, Kaede’s hand turns into a fist that only you can see. She pushes her fist at the blue girl, top upward even as she’s smiling at them. She’s clearly trying to tell you something, but you aren’t sure what.

>…You have no idea what she wants you to do, start up a conversation.
>Back off, this is too weird.
>…she’s clearly telling you to…(what?)
>Other.

Does anyone have an idea? I'm getting a knock her out vibe, but I may be wrong
>>
>>35878589
I am have difficulty understanding what it is you are describing us seeing.
If we are seeing some sort of ghost Kaede punching the blue girl while a normal her is still talking, then ether the real Kaede doesn't like her and wants to hit her or slender dicks want us to think that. otherwise i dont know what we are seeing.
On the assumption that the phantom is our Kaede is at work in the phantom I say we jump into the conversation but try to get Blue girl to back off.
>>
>>35878589
Clearly must sucker-punch
>>
>>35878589
>top upward
Wrapping my head around this. Is she saying to knock Natsuru out? Hm...
>>
Sorry for the confusion.

There is only one Kaede.

Her hand is under blue girls vision, held in a fist.

She put the top of her fist towards the girl, the thrust it forward quickly.


Hope that helps.
>>
>>35878589
>She pushes her fist at the blue girl, top upward even as she’s smiling at them.
What does this even mean? Am I the only one that's having reading comprehension problems here?

>She put the top of her fist towards the girl, the thrust it forward quickly
like an upper cut?

I vote to knock the bitch out.
>>
>>35878813
Alright, this is clearly what I get for trying to be clever.

So.

Hit the girl.

Don't hit the girl, initiate conversation.
>>
>>35878589

>>
>>35878847
Changing vote. Signal back to her with a fist striking the bluenette.

Don't hit. I highly doubt she recognizes us in our first scene with her. This is likely the antagonists at work.

Just a little too clever here. There's not enough information to go on. Maybe if Kaede has said something, but one hand sign? Especially an unfamiliar one? There's just no way.
Also

I'm pretty sure that Kaede knows she's stuck in her role in this scene, but can't get out on her own. Either that, or her blue friend is a skinwalker.

You have absolutely no idea what Kaede is trying to tell you to do, so you do what you normally do, which is to try and initiate conversation.

However, just as soon as you reach out to touch her, the blue haired girls head spins around 180 degrees, her eyes, which have suddenly shifted to simple dark spots, filling with hate, even as limbs begin to sprout from her back.

“You…” she…no, it, hisses, limbs starting to move towards you in a slashing motion.

You dodge out of the way, even as Kaede pushes it suddenly from…well the front you guess, causing it to stumble, missing you completely.

Even as you recover from your impromptu roll, Kaede is by your side, pistol up and firing, sword in hand.

“You idiot!” she says, “Why didn’t you stab it when you had the chance!”

“Sorry I couldn’t decipher an indistinct hand gesture!” you say, your own sword suddenly appearing in your hands, where you automatically bring it up into a ready stance.

“The whole dark spooky aura didn’t give away something was wrong?” she says, even as the blue haired girl spouts more limbs, her body spreading wildly.

“Last time I fought something with a spooky aura it was inside you at first,” you reply, “I didn’t know what the hell was going on.”

“Yeah, I guess,” says Kaede, gun up even as the distorted blue hair turns on the two of you, “What do we do now?”

“Clearly we kill it,” you say, hefting your sword and giving her a grin.

“What if we can’t?” she asks, giving you a glance.

“Then we kill it harder,” you say, “Oh, and it’s very nice to see you’re awake.”

“Thanks,” she says, just a small curve of her lips giving away any emotion she has.

You just nod and then you charge forward, Kaede following after you, pistol barking as both of you ready your swords.

While the thing appears to be one of the smarter ones, it is just finishing sorting itself out, so it’s just a little sluggish. This sluggishness is its downfall, as your first sword strike neatly takes out one of its legs, almost immobilizing it. This gives Kaede, who’s first strike lopped off some tentacles, an unmoving target to pour bullets into as you weave in and out of its remaining limbs and claws, each sword stroke removing another, until finally it keels over, coughing the black goo that serves as its blood.

It just grins at you, even as you’re about to administer the coup de grace.

“My master is coming,” it says, right before you cut off its head.

You feel…

You can’t even describe the aura that is coming towards you.

It is hate and loathing and…darkness. All of it directed at you and immensely powerful. So very very powerful.

“John,” Kaede chokes out, already down on her knees even as yours begin to wobble, “We need to get out of here.”

You do, but how?

>Just run, if you can get far enough away maybe it’ll end…
>See if you can reach your friend…somehow.

>Through kissing

Wait, so Slendy left a bit of herself in Kaede, so the easiest way for anyone to get in touch with her is through kissing Kaede? If any of the girls have formed friendships with our outsider waifu, orientation-confused-maybe-ex-lez Kaede is going to get a lot of same sex oral action.
>>
>>35880244
no it means that at least 60% of the times we ended a scene by kissing a girl. That seems to get Slendys attention.

What do Nanoha and Kaede think of each other? They where both lesbians in their original settings.

And are any of the other harem members bi-curious? In real life polygamy relationships the relationship between the woman is just as important as their relationship with the man.
>>
>>35880441
It seems that even lezzies value sentience above all else, and even if they preferred girls in their original settings, the shift to a harem anime means that any gay gal can be "turned straight" by the MC.
NEWSFLAS: Kaede is in her original setting RIGHT NOW. If she's a lesbian here, that means she would have a very hard time showing/feeling affection for John. Well played, enderslender. Well played. We might be effectively trapped.

>>35879859
“Kaede,” you say, moving next to her even as the dark presence gets even closer.

“What?” she says, looking up at you.

“I know how to get out of here but you might not like it.”

“Just do it John!” she says, clearly getting pressed hard by the creature, whatever it is.

“I’m sorry,” you say, leaning forward, taking her cheek in your hand and then pressing your lips to hers.

Kaede’s eyes go wide, even as you feel…well you’re not sure where its coming from but it’s definitely your friend pulling the two of you out of there.

There’s a brief tug of war, just long enough for your friend to have to exert effort and then…

A flash, but you’re only half way. You hear a voice.

“You will die,” it says, the tones mixing together into a deep dark voice, “You will die and I will end this tormented existence.”

You to reply, but the pressure is too much for you.

“I am older than you know,” the voice intones, “Older than I wish to be. All will be ended, all we be set free.”

Then there’s another tug, another flash.

You land on something soft and warm, head pounding and disoriented by the multiple confused transitions.

It is at this moment that your give a fuck meter drains completely. You have no fucks to give, you’re pretty sure you aren’t in danger and you’re lying on something soft and warm. So, as your natural reaction to such a situation kicks in, you don’t find it.

The soft warm thing quivers a bit as you instinctively squeeze your hands around it. It’s soft, but the softness of cloth and then the springiness of flesh beneath it…

You sigh internally.

You just squeezed a breast. A covered breast, but still a breast. Now you just have to open your eyes and figure out who it is…

Or you could just lay here and pretend that you’re dead. That sounds like a good idea. A really really good idea.

But you’re a good guy, so you can’t pull that, at least not for long. Well, here goes nothing.

You crack your eye open slightly, just enough to see in front of you. Yep, that’s a breast your hand is on, even if it isn’t squeezing anymore. You slowly track your eye upwards, towards the breasts owners face.

It’s…

Of course it’s Kaede. That’s just peachy.

Kaede’s face is somewhere between mortal terror, embarrassment and perhaps just a little bit of curiosity. But just a little bit, which is quickly being swallowed by said terror and embarrassment.

“PERVERT!” she suddenly screams, a hand screaming down to smack your face, even as she scrambles away from you. The smack is good enough to turn your cheek red, causing you to let go and roll off of her, allowing her to get upright.

Kaede has nice legs you decide, even as she backs away and the rest of your harem surrounds you, worried looks on most of their faces.

“Are you ok Ashikabi…John?” asks Akitsu.

“I’m fine,” you say, slowly sitting upright.

“Oh my John,” says Elizasleyn, grinning that horrible grin at you, “you could’ve just asked if you were feeling such urges.”

You look at her and glare, but it simply bounces off her pervert armor and then when Tatsuko nods with her, you can’t keep it up anymore.

Standing, you look around, seeing Kaede standing off in a corner, as well as your friend looking concerned. But that damn headache is still there too.

You make your way over to Kaede after assuring the rest of your harem that yes, you are indeed fine. She’s currently leaning against the “fridge” that’s in your base, her head resting on the freezer door up top.

“Kaede…?” you ask.

She doesn’t move for a second, but then her head turns, just enough so that you can see one eye.

“John…” she says softly.

“Are you okay?” you ask.

“I…I…” she turns fully towards you, allowing you to see that she’s a little flushed.

“Kaede?” you say once more.

“I don’t know…” she says, “When we came back and you were laying on me…I…I kinda liked it.” She looks up at you. “But then…”

“But then I groped you,” you say for her.

She nods. “And you scared me, so I slapped you…but…”

“But it was a reflex and you don’t want me to be mad?” you say.

“Something like that,” she says, before looking up at you, “N-not that it was ok for you to grope me! But…I’m sorry for hitting you.”

“I’m sorry for groping you,” you say.

She nods, seemingly mollified for the moment.

“We should go talk to her,” you say, nodding at your friend, “We need to figure out why you’re the only one where the big scary guys were.”

“I was?” she asks, looking up at you.

“Yeah, you were,” you say, turning and heading towards your strange friend.

She seems deep in thought when you and Kaede approach.

You respect your friend’s silence, though it doesn’t last much longer.

(He was the first) she says to you, (The first one of you.)

She looks up at you, a strange look on her face, almost, wistful.

(I watched but could not interfere as he grew,) she continues, (And he was alone for quite some time. At first he was fine, but slowly…he changed. He couldn’t love, couldn’t be loved except when forced by the plot.)

You see that her eyes drop.

(I didn’t notice until it was too late that he was only acting. Only after he had gone through dozens of shows where he had to be teased but never touched or touched but not able to respond. It would break anyone, it was a surprise he lasted as long as he did.)

She turns back to you, her face surprisingly expressive.

(Now he wants to end it, end every last show, no more harems, no more romance. That way he won’t hurt anymore, that way no one will hurt anymore. That’s also where he’s gotten his followers, from others dissatisfied with what their role demanded of them.)

She looks at you seriously.

(You have to stop him John, you are the only one who can.)

That...that’s quite the thing she just laid on you.

Love will triumph over hatred and loneliness. Now it's time to diversify our harem with a dash more eldritch abomination, and one pinch of male.

I think I can take a guess at why they chose Kaede's origin.

Earlier, I joked about the densest metal known to man. But with Slendere's info, I think that story was where he finally snapped. Maybe it also involves how two different girls won in different media (Akane in LN, Shizuru in manga, and whatever crazy selfcest ending the anime went with).

You guys got this all wrong. We've been asking for a rival for a long time now, only here, he'll become that rival that the MC doesn't take seriously. He'll show up in John's anime looking like a boy, and John will get to be his mentor in the ways of TWOO WUV. And he will hate John through every second of it. And it will be hilarious, as John acts like a parental figure through all of it.

Are you implying that being bisexual is a bad thing?
>>
>>35882909
Part of this has to do with the mechanics of the setting. John being bisexual would be a major change to the established plot, and at such a late stage, the change would cost John a massive amount of PP (and perhaps viewers)
There's a whole meta side of things to contend with here.

I'll assume you replied to the one with typos. As the shitposting here shows, a radical change to any character is usually grounds for discontent among viewers. Whether bisexuality is right or not matters very little. The entirety of his existence depends on the popularity of his show, and changing the sexuality of the MC (especially to romance the villain) is grounds for losing a significant portion of the viewership

“How long has he been like this?” you ask her.

(A long time…) she says, (Since the beginning of harems, the beginning of anime.) She smiles at you. (I’m one of the only things older than him and only by a little.)

“What started it?” you ask, “How’d he get this way?”

(It was…I don’t know,) she says, (I don’t know how he came into being. But once he was…he did his best. He did his best for the longest time. Eventually more like you came about, more that could actually care. But by that time he’d been in hundreds of shows, hundreds of times he spent months and years trying to be with someone, only to have it torn away. By the time I could even arrange for someone who could actually care about him…he didn’t have the capacity to love anymore. It was gone, all an act. Dozens, of times I tried for anyone to make him feel back. He didn’t care, didn’t even try.)

She looks down.

(I even tried once with what I did for you,) she says, (I gave him complete control. He just…sat there, did nothing except wait for the world to form by itself. It was the most generic thing ever. Every last one of the characters tried to get something out of him, anything.)

She shakes her head.

(He’s not anything like you anymore John, nothing. He’s more of an elemental force focused on ending its own existence than anything you might try to call a person. That’s all gone.)
>>
>>35883130
Trying to make a writer double-think his view of his characters is rude, yes. Or do you just not appreciate HIS spin on things? In the end, this is HIS spin.
>>
>>35883176
“Why me?” you ask her, “Am I the first? The last? What makes me so special?”

Here she smiles at you.

(I said he was the first,) she says, (That was a little wrong. He was only the first awake. You are the first, the first character out of all of them John. But you never woke. You were always what you needed to be. That’s why I picked you, why I woke you up.)

You widen your eyes at her.

She widens her smile, before it sinks back.

(I needed a hero John, someone to save this place,) she waves her hand, (To save everyone who’s ever been in a show with romance. You’ve never let me down before, so I don’t expect it to end now.)

Her smile seems…sad.

“Then…why does he care about me?” asks Kaede.

(He doesn’t, not in the sense that you know,) she says, (But he believes anything that was once in “his” shows is a tool for him to use. Yours was the last he was in before he felt he had enough power to destroy this universe. So he wants you as a pawn. It matters little to him that you are aware, he just wants every bit of power he can get and you are part of that.)

Kaede’s face darkens at this.

Your friend goes silent.

“How can he do this?” you ask, “How can he get so much power?”

(He’s just like you,) she says, (Was, just like you. He gathered the power from all of his roles.) She shakes her head. (He was in so many he finally gained enough power to try and end everything. There’s no guarantee it will work,) she says looking up at you, (But there’s enough of a chance that it could that I intervened with you.)

You nod your head, having heard enough for now.

“Right,” you say, “I need to let of some steam.”

Your friend nods, a small gesture from her and a small dojo appears off to the side.

You stride towards it.

“Karasuba,” you say, “It’s my turn to blow off some steam.”

Your longtime sparring partner nods, unsheathing her sword and tossing her cape to the ground.

“Are you sure?” she asks you.

“Very,” you say, reaching out and pulling her in close for a kiss, black wings flaring from her back.

“You asked for this,” she says, her face only slightly pleased.

You go at it for almost two hours, a full contact bout with only blunted edges to prevent blood loss. By the end you have absolutely no idea who “won” as you are both sweaty, battered and bruised to a ridiculous extent. As both of your swords clatter to the ground at the same time, you and Karasuba lean against each other, neither of you able to stay up without the other.

“Thank you Karasuba,” you manage to get out between heavy breaths.

“Anytime lover boy,” she says to you, “But now you really owe me that massage.”

“Just as soon as we get back,” you pant.

“I’ll hold you to that,” she says.

Just as the two of you nearly collapse, Tatsuko grabs both of you, hefting you like small children before depositing you in the bed. You are awake only long enough for you to feel someone tentatively climb in behind you before you pass out.

Your dreams are strangely untroubled.

>>35883829
It doesn't quite work like that, since he's not technically in any shows now. So he can't lose them because people don't like them.

But he does have a finite, if very very large amount.

None, otherwise he would've crawled into them as well.

John dresses up as a guy with no shirt, then gets sent home by his harem.

Possible Halloween thread, trying to decide if it should be part of the Chibi episode.

Your overall choices, going after all the girls, being honest, taking it all the way, things like that.

Probably just a difference in the number of parts the body was in.

Sounds like we need an alternate universe side quest.

One of them is gluttony

Wasn't Gluttony a guy?


>>35885136
Honestly not sure I could do that proper justice.

>>35885209
Are you planning on running anything new after HPQ ends?
>>
>>35885209
Who says it has to be gluttony from fma? You can claim that any character ever is gluttony. Also there is almost certainly a animu female gluttoby out there

I have a couple things that I might do.

One of them is a strike witches rip off thing that I'm not sure I want to do, because it would be a lot more story and not as much you guys choosing and I already write slow and don't have much pre-written.

Second is a mercenary type thing which is more in line with HPQ, except guns explosives and the like instead of magic.

True. I could see...a couple of the girls being gluttony if I really needed it.

I'm just giving you shit. You never promised, but you did entertain the idea.

But I might be mistaken, as I can't find the post anymore. I thought it was around thread 15, but I can't find it in the archives.

I'm pretty sure you've got me confused with someone else, I've never even seen Pacific Rim, so I really really doubt I'd say I'd run a quest.

Well, this is a weird and awkward set of posts to end the thread on.

Apologies to all involved.

I kinda think it would go down like this while the harems chatted about the Johns.
