You are Kagome Higurashi, an average teenage girl from Tokyo. Well at least you WERE average. After a series of strange and unfortunate events you find yourself in a strange place with even stranger people.

Cold air fills your lungs and you exhale, your hot breath chills and forms in the cold night like a specter before vanishing just as it had come. A stinging pain tingles in your fingertips, sending waves of electricity up to your shoulder and arm, but it is of little importance to you. In this singular moment you are at peace.

You breath deeply once more and hold it. A rapping sound on wood cuts the silence of your meditation and your eyes snap open and readjust to the cabin. Specs of dust and other debris flicker in and out of view as they pass through the small holes punched in the roof and walls of the cabin you call your cell. Earlier tonight you have given yourself up to a Demon Hunter named Sango who tied you and your party and brought you here. The ropes still right around your wrists now raw and bruised.

There is a rapping at the door once more.


Kagome; assess the situation:

HP: 18/18
Energy: 100/100
Fate Challenges: 1/4

Inuyasha looks to you before his eyes dart to the door then back to yours. The feint light catching his eyes and illuminating them like the animals you’d catch outside your window at night when you were at home.

The sound of flesh on wood sounds once more as another set of knocks sound, echoing around the empty cabin.

You look over to Kujo who seems to have dozed off, back slumped to the wall, his bound hands folded and resting on his lap. You tug on the line that connects the three of you causing his hand to flop and him to shift in place. His tongue runs along his lips as he smacks them before going silent again.

There’s another knock, then silence. You wait, shifting forward and your lungs burn as you realize it’s been a while since you last exhaled.

Something shifts outside and soon what or whoever it is or was begins to move. Sounds of crunching leaves and twigs, ever so silent in the day, seem defining at night. The source moves around and swings to the side of the cabin before fading off in the distance.

You let loose a long sign and rap your head against the soft near rotted back of the wall, closing your eyes as a sudden wave of cold seems to wash over you. Your eyes hazily open again. Was the cabin always this dark?

Also can we attempt to loosen our binds now?

So does Kagome gain x-ray vision now?
>>
>>36790520
Do we still feel cold? What about the moonlight? We should look around...

I know! Splinter strike! It'll make some light!
>>
>>36790638

I wonder if we could fire a splinter-strike from our mouth, like how all those dudes from DBZ can fire eyebeams and mouthbeams.
>>
>>36790575
>The wall is the same as it has been. Slightly mushy, but not enough to easily and soundlessly break through. There is a hole in the floor about 1 square foot more or less that some grass seems to be growing through. The cabin is a simple Japanese design, however the floor, walls, and roof all have small holes in them. It is in ill repair. You cannot see deeper into the house than about 3 feet in front of you, but you suspect that it's empty save a small fire pit at the center.

>You can attempt to losen your binds again if you wish; however you have no tools at your disposal. Sango may have left them at the other end of the cabin or outside however.

>>36790668
Splinter strike the binds off... Or. did we want to stay here and wait for Koga? I mean we could probably dig out of the bottom of the hut through this lovely wall behind us.
>>
Why did you stay silent? Sango is just going to assume we're asleep, and there's no reason not to cooperate with her since it was our decision to get captured in the first place.
>>
>>36790758
Paranoia and assumptions that it was men with guns. Songo is our warden she could have opened the door to check on us if she wished.

Lets see where this goes...
>>
>>36790758
Neither Sango nor Yura would have knocked. Whoever that was it wasn't either of them.
>>
>>36790806
Yeah that as well... Yura definitely does not seem the knocking type.
>>
>>36790786
Uh... couldn't men with guns just bust the door down if they wished? Knocking implies politeness.

>>36790806
Maybe they wanted to check if we wanted to see them? That's usually why people knock.
>>
>>36790852
*Tap tap* Any sound? Neg. Moving on to target.

>>36790852
>Spec Ops team breaking down a door with something they know is very dangerous inside and is potentially strapped to a non-combatant
No
>>
>>36790886
>>36790895
Wait, are you talking about the future people? The ones that have some kind of sensor that Kagome shows up as a huge flashing light on? They aren't going to be checking like that.

And assuming they're here at all is ridiculously paranoid.
>>
>>36790852
We're in a dark abandoned shack in the wilderness. Whoever knocked was looking for people, and right now we hsve enough problems without involving random mystery guest #3.

I'm trying to avoid thinking about that spec ops team because I fucking hate interludes like that that just give us OOC knowledge that makes players paranoid. Fucking ruined PPW for me.
>>
>>36790933
>Ridiculously paranoid.
You've figured me out.
>>
>>36790980
PPQ.

Damn phone posting.
>>
>>36790980
What problems? From what I can tell, we're waiting around for Sango to fetch us. That's it.

Unless I missed a thread somewhere, the last thing we did was have a spirit journey out of boredom. Someone new dropping in is exactly what we need to solve that particular problem.

Come on now.

>>36791021
We're being escorted to Koga. Right now we're just waiting out the night.

>>36791022
Honestly, I'm only still reading this quest because I'm invested and Snow is a good QM. However I quest to reduce the stress in my life. Not make it worse, which is what pointless paranoia about things we can't change does.

>>36790980
eh, worst case scenario it's a spec ops team lead by a worm that walks come to torture us to death
best case scenario its Miroku

Dude. You're harshing my mellow. We're going to be paranoid and a bit crazy.

We can do something about hostiles or.. really any thing else.. we just have to act with what is available to us.

>>36791171
OH GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIE! Unless you know. We don't.
>>
>>36791134
Like I said I like you as a QM and other than the future people interludes, you've given us either backstory or immediately relevant information. The problem with PPQ was Cos saying he wanted to run a more light-hearted sort of quest, but introducing us to a serial killer through a series of interludes. Barring the first couple threads, which were admittedly growing pains of sorts, you've been rather consistent in the tone for SJQ. It's just sadly one I don't really like that much.
>>
>>36791171
I... I think that was his first 20 outside of our sparring match in the first few threads...

>>36791082
I get what you mean, but you need a little of that to keep the hype up. This isn't nearly as bad as PPQ with all the awful piling on.

Not really a Marvel fan. At least not big time. I caught up to PPQ after reading Bleach quest in the archives.

It's part of why I'm so salty about PPQ. I caught up with it just in time for the big retcon and shit, and Ryukuza quest had just had the big arm fiasco, and my family had just gotten evicted and needed to find a new place in a week. Basically a whole lot of shit happened and now I associate that stuff subconsciously.

Something catches your eye in the corner and you squint, hoping your eyes can quicker adjust.

Near the back wall you can make out what seem to be heatlines. The texture of the wood distorts and wavers before dissipating, taking the added coolness with it. You can’t put your finger on it, but the home you’re holed up in seems less dark now.

The door bursts open and you jump in start as Sango walks through, sighing as she throws an armful of firewood in the center of the room and slides the door shut with a bang. The young demon hunter crouches down and begins fumbling with the lumber, arranging it in the pit.

She scrapes something, and soon amber light fills the empty wood cabin. She cradles the infant flame in her hand for a moment before setting the nearby kindling ablaze. She squats silent in the cold, and crosses her arms to her chest, rubbing their sides and exhales.

“I have no sleeping mats or blankets. You’ll have to make due unless your “Naraku” has some in that ridiculous pack of his.”

>Write in

>>36791345
I wanted fucking Phasing.. but we saw where that went. Not a fan of the Dragon shit to be honest.. but I didn't want punch lasers either. Muh Sonic! Still love the quest and wont drop it due to power vote loss.
>>36791403
Arm thing didn't bug me. PPQ Retcon.. confused the fuck out of me because apparently I missed that thread and have been sorta dazed and confused about that.

Sorry about the eviction man. Went through one of those myself. Moving everything you own out of your house at 3 in the morning is balls.

>>36791432
Cosgrove will never go back to Bleach quest. mecri3

Still we've got the Paragons like snow to keep us going.
>>
>>36791446
Make nice. Puppy dog eyes at "naraku" for matts.

Also.. I'll leave it up to others to decide if we mention the knocking.

>>36790758
Told you Songo wouldn't knock.
>>
>>36791446

Do you know what it means when something shimmers and creates a lot of darkness and cold? Because that's a thing that happened right before you entered.
>>
>>36791459
>Cosgrove will never go back to Bleach quest. mecri3
Is this an actual thing he said or are you trying to make me cry
>>
>>36791505
I'm always trying to make you cry. I love to do that. But I've never explicitly heard him say he'd never go back. However! it's been a long time.. and he did a Redux. Which I had assumed was the nail in the coffin for Bleach quest. You could always ask him. Hell I'll ask him on Twitter.
>>
>>36791446
Eh, let's ask if she noticed anyone else wandering around out there. If she's curious we can just say Inuyasha thought he heard someone moving around out there.

Sorry if my issues are clogging up your thread, Snow.
>>
>>36791245
>>36791403
>Ah. Still sorry to hear that stuff. Hope things improve and sorry that the tone of the quest isn't quite up your ally any more, but I thank you for sticking it out. It means a lot; most people wouldn't.

You turn to Kujo and roll your head backwards, resting it on your shoulder. Flexing the muscles in your face you open your eyes as wide as you can and curl your lips into a slight frown. Satisfied, you begin kicking at his leg until he opens his eyes and looks at you. “What?” he scowls. “Why the hell are you looking at me like that for?” He presses his back into the wall again “It’s unsettling.”

“Can we use the blankets and sleeping mats you have?”

“Of course, why not? Buuuut I may not have enough so I’ll have to share one with our young capt-“ Kujos speech tapers off as he sees Sangos expression slightly shift. “But I’m sure I picked up some extras somewhere.”

With Sangos guidance, she begins rummaging through his bag, producing the four sleep rolls and blankets you, Yura, Inuyasha, and Yura had been using and lays them out beside the four corners of the fire were you promptly wrap yourself up in a makeshift cocoon and stare blankly into the dancing flames.

“So Sango” you say, breaking yet another bout of verbal silence, “Did you see anyone else outside?”

“Why do you ask?”

“I heard a knock at the door before you left and what sounded like footsteps.”

The demon hunter scoffs as she pulls a cup out of the fire and downs its contents before setting it off to the side. “It was probably one of the patrol checking in on me. He’ll probably be around later tonight.”

You can’t tell if she’s bluffing or not, but something inside you says that she might not be so sure herself.

You grind your butt into your sleeping mat as your body trapped body heat begins warming you under your blanket.

“So” you speak up “You’re escorting us to this Koga right?” The demon hunter does not speak, but nods her head.

“And you have to get us their safe?” you continue

She runs her hand through her hair, tugging on her pony tail before turning towards you, the fire at her side casting an eerie shadow over her face; like a monster at a camp fire. Sparks drift up and fade into the dilapidated home you currently reside in. “Your point?”

“Well, don’t you think you should check for that guy? It got colder and darker when you were gone too. Something weird’s gota be going on!”

“Ya, this don’t quite sit right with me. An’t no animals or anything making a sound.”

Kujo sighs, prodding at the fire with a nearby piece of kindling before flicking it in and looking up at his captor. “They do have a point.”

Sango scowls, letting out a low growl as she stands up, twisting right and left cracking her spine before tapping her feet on the floor. She places a hand on the sliding door and turns toward the three of you. “Fine, but if this isn’t worth my time, I’m keeping ALL of you awake with me tonight.”

She peels the door open and steps outside, shutting it behind her. The fire crackles and pops and Sango steps back inside and closes the door behind her, kneeling by it, hand on the blade mounted to her back hip. “Something’s watching in the woods.”

Man, quests really seem to be tapering off in activity this month. We archived yet at least?

As for THIS quest; anyone have any hopes or suggestions? I'm personally not feeling the shotgun plot Snow has going. I wish he'd just wrap up one thread then move onto the next sort of like DBZ. It would at least keep us focused.
>>
>>36793221
I'm just waiting for everything to kick off. At the moment our enemies are a bit to nebulous.

Once we have a target we can act. And I think we'll see things speed up. Atm were still sort on chained by cannon. Getting the tetsaiga etc.

Also theory on the future group.

The presence of the jewel is attracting demons and ghosts to our location. But in tbe present. Thyre not after Kagome theyre cleaning up the mess left by her after image. Theyre all still in the present.
>>
>>36793221
I shold add i like ghe arching multi thread plot. It does feel slow atm. But sniws schedule and hell the players e.g. tonight. Just cant manage the long haul resolutions in one thread.

Sorry for typos. phone.

>>36793333
He (she?) does seem to like a slow burn to the quest. Sometimes I think it's a bit too slow, but the writing draws you into the setting which is a nice feature not many other quests do. I am hoping he learns how to better write things other than horror and action, but no matter what I think we're near the peak and after Koga it's a race downhill. If the quest somehow ends at 52 it'll be pretty great.

>>36793374
why 52? that's a really specific number
>>
>>36792972
Well, she noticed them rather fast. Unfortunately that probably means she noticed Yura, not the mysterious beings who we were worried about.
>>
>>36796514
Or something else creeping about...

>>36795871
I think most anime's have 52 episodes?
>>
>>36796864
Not anymore.
>>
>>36796864
>>36796909
Most seasons or cours or whatever they're called are 12-13 episodes, and a lot of shows only get one.
>>
Here's hoping something actually happens this quest.
>>
>>36798142
I'm sure something will happen. Hell we're voters.. if we really want to make things happen.. we can vote to assault Sango and take her prisoner.. or to storm the well with the Mutt and Yura.

I have a feeling when Koga shows up we'll get some sort of info dump on Naraku and the state of affairs.. you know before we help Kujo murder him.
>>
>>36793374
>He (she?)
... Are there any women who QM? Not that it even matters; but I've never even thought about it until now.

>>36798533
I don't know; Snow hasn't really been the info dump type (seems to try and make things "realistic" like when Kagome tried to cut her hair and failed the first time) and a villain speech like that seems like it would only go half way until we or Kujo punch him in the face.
>>
>>36798566
XS at least. Prob a a few others scattered across the history of questing.
>>
>>36798566
We can force him to info dump! We'll allow Koga to run his mouth.. or.. ask Kujo for something more in depth about Naraku and that business.
>>
>>36798719
True. Although Koga has an army so I don't think we'll be able to off him and become wolf queen so easy.
>>
>>36798874
Are you kidding? That's the best time to become Wolf Queen! We dismantle him in front of his whole pack! Display of dominance!

Then maybe we pick up the demonic ears.
>>
>>36798916
What if that goes horribly wrong though? I mean he could win. Kagome could flip out with Yura and slaughter tribe.

That probably wont happen.

>>36798939
And then Inuyasha would either NOPE out or vow to take us down since, like every other Shonin character, he doesn't like to kill sapient things.
>>
>>36799006
Well best he do it now so we can jack his ass up while he can't figure out how to use the sword.
>>
>>36799006
Actually. Before.. he met Kagome wasn't he a kind of.. oh.. you know Monster. Didn't he kill a bunch of people to snag the jewel at one point? I mean wasn't he a sociopath before meeting Kikyo? Maybe I'm not remembering things correctly.

But I'm almost positive he murdered a handful of villagers to snag the jewel. Hell when he first met Kagome he tried to kill her in the series.
>>
>>36799085
His near unspoken backstory of him being orphaned and a coward growing up leads me to think he was always just sort of a tryhard. Then again that may just be Snows influence and the little bits of backstory dropped. Its been years since I saw the first episode.

Still not a big fan of demon queen Kagome.
>>
>>36800791
I like how small, yet divided the readership is on almost every concept and story development.. in the end we all still come together and enjoy.
>>
>>36798916
I honestly don't want to give any excuse for Koga to crush on Kagome. The only part of that I enjoyed in the show was the bickering between him and Inuyasha.
>>
>>36800791

I'm all for it if it happens naturally.
We probably shouldn't force it though.
>>
>>36800791
Eh. I'd like it. Roving band of wolf demons to battle the high tech x-com group. Also want to see Kagome's name pop up in a history book as a power player.
>>
>>36801045
>>36801136
Like, just leading the wolf pack would be alright I'm sure, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't stop there.
>>
>>36801180
I'm all for the full blown... or just a pack of demons. I'd prefer.. we act like a roving war band or something similar. Ya' know Demons.. But I rarely get my way.
>>
>>36793008
Did kikyo win yet?
>>
>>36801373
You've failed to help her. How can she win if you're never here to support her?
>>
>>36800995
If and when we encounter Koga, I don't think he'll be around long.
>>
>>36801506
Aye I thought we were gonna kill him. Hard to have a crush if you're dead.
>>
>>36800995
But I like him more than Inuyasha...
>>
>>36801506
Koga a shit, Inu boy better meat sh- I mean partner for shenagins
>>
>>36801535
If we don't, Kujo sure as hell is going to try.
>>
>>36801596
They're both shit.

Though if we're in it for meat shields two is better than one.
>>
>Mfw Inuyasha was my first husbando and I still have a thing for him
For an INUYASHA quest, the title character seems pretty unpopular.
>>
>>36801963
I think its due to alot of the posters here feeling that we dont want to actually going the whole inuyasha route of calling out each others names and NEVER moving on past that point in the realtionship
>>
>>36801990
Yeah thats part of it for me.
>>
>>36801990

I don't know, it seems like after every nice thing he does, there's a little push to waifu him proper.
>>
>>36802502
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop personally, for as soona s that jewel comes out I betcha he's gonna be all gimme that thing.
>>
>>36802570
If that happens we've got yhat necklace keyed to him
>>
>>36802570
>Inuyasha EVER playing the long game

Point taken
>>
>>36802825
He's a dog half-demon. I can see him react to it like he sniffed a squirrel.

Oh, that's a hilarious thought.

"Whaddya lookin' at me ta do somethin'? I ain't got ta... JEWEL SHARD!"

>Things keep piling on, but I'm going to try to get the quest up and running again within the next 2-3 hours. Keep your fingers crossed and thanks for keeping it bumped.

Looking forward to it snow

So I saw this thread and laughed at the notion of an Inuyasha quest; the idea that someone on 4chin would remember the story and wiki scrounge Inuyasha enough and combine it with good prose and game design.

Then I saw the archive scores, and gave a thread a chance. Now I archive binged, I'm up to date, and wondered if I should watch Inuyasha. But everyone's discussion of the actual show kinda confirmed it would sorta be a waste of time, and the QM was just good at his job.

So, kudos to the players and the QM, even if I think the threads feel to end prematurely. Yura was a good choice to keep alive, she's pretty damn fun to have around.
>>
>>36804667
Yes, yes she was.

Threads die off and resume the next day due to scheduling issues. But overall it's a good set up
>>
>>36804822
Ya, the pausing is sort of a new thing due to Snows scheduling conflicts and now the holiday season.
>>
>>36804667
>Honestly the show is kind of hit and miss. Personally I still enjoy it and would recommend at least giving it a try if nothing else than for a laugh.

>Thanks for reading and joining us if you plan to play. Always great to see a new face. As for the threads; sorry about that. Lately my time is being consumed by real life far more than I anticipated when I started the quest.


>Oh, and Writing

“What the hell d-ya mean there’s something in th’ woods? Corse there is! It’s fulla animals… not ta mention that guy from earlier.”

You shuffle towards the hunter on your knees, blanket still wrapped around you “Can’t you just get your minions to do it?” She raises her eyebrow “Those guys you have? Your men.”

“I would not so readily trust them with a matter like this. This is… different. I’ll have to handle this myself.”

>>36804667
read the manga, it eliminates some of the worst filler. then watch the second and third movies, the other ones are meh
>>
>>36806080
>Stay inside
No need to go out and risk getting dragged into the woods.
>>
>>36806080
>Stay inside and try to defend from potential entity
have Inuyasha smell and hear for when things are coming close, and strike when they're in range

Whatever it is, it's afraid of Sango. It'll strike at us.

>>36806629

Doing OK. Relatives are coming to stay for Christmas & New Years, including some I didn't even know existed until a month ago. I've got a very large extended family.
>>
>>36806629
Good. hospitals always suck but only stuck up their visiting for about two hours.

Elite Dangerous is pretty damn fun.
>>
>>36806629
pretty good. just rendered my entire class and professor speechless with my final presentation, so I've got a pretty good feeling about that class

>>36807007
i was doing a presentation on how you can look at World War I and World War II as a dynamic clash between destiny and free will, and did it by channeling the Major a la Hellsing.

>>36807041
Sounds radical

>>36807054
it was a good time

The merchant shifts in his position “What is that supposed to mean?”

“It means you stay put and keep your mouth shut.” She hisses, pressing her ear and hand to the door.

Several minutes pass in silence as the crackling fire slowly dies.

“I don’t hear anything.” She whispers, drawing away from her post and to her supplies near her bedroll.

A wind kicks up outside, blowing through the holes in the wall and chilling you. It rattles the branches of the trees which clack together. A strange light begins circling the cabin, piercing the slits in the boards as though it was daylight.

>Write in
>>
>>36807094
Try to peek through a crack in the wall.
>>
>>36807094
Does she not see that light?

Take a peek if we can.
>>
Glad you decided to run again. I had to take care of some stuff yesterday, and missed it.
>>36791403

I got about 6 threads past the Monique fight, before I left in disgust.

What was this about a Retcon?
>>
>>36807286
>She and the rest of the party seem to be reacting to it.
>>
>I really hate to do this, but I think I'm going to have to end this session. I'm just not feeling it tonight and there are way too many distractions with the family right now.

>I'm sitting here looking at my notes and encounter charts and plot threads and just nothing's coming together for me and I just can't get what's in my head down on "paper" and I keep thinking I may need to rewrite and rework some things.

>I really hate to do it, but I think I may have to cut this short again. Really really sorry. This is just a plum bad thread and my heart isn't with it right now and it makes me feel wretched and like I'm not going to deliver the session you all deserve.

>The worst part is I’m not sure when I’ll be able to rerun this month since I have a wedding to go to right after Christmas and I’ll be on the road this coming Friday to boot.


>I will hang around to answer your questions however and so you can yell at me.
>I really didn’t want this session to go this way…
>>
>>36807094
>>36807318
Let us take a peak, then we can join the rest of the party in the land of shared shitless...
>>
>>36807392

Well, rassa frassa.

If you're not feeling it, don't force it. you might do something you'll regret later.

Have fun at the wedding.
>>
>>36807465
>You might do something you'll regret later
That's honestly my biggest fear at this point and why I need to review this encounter and my notes again. I want to do this, but nothing is clicking and it's really frustrating.

>Thank you all very much for putting up with me and keeping the thread bumped. Like Artemis (but to a much lesser degree) things are a bit strange in my life right now, but I'll try my best to get things back on schedule and on track as soon as I possibly can.

>Not being able to deliver for you guys tonight is a very sickening feeling.
>>
>>36807538
It sucks but it happens, Snow. I'd rather you give this some thought, maybe try to write up some of it, and figure out what works best?
>>
>>36808074
>Ya, that's what I'll be doing in the downtime I have this holiday season I think. I just really hate getting writers block, especially on quest night.

>Like I said, if anyone has any questions, comments, etc, I'll be lurking.
>>
>>36807538
don't worry about it man. real life happens
>>
>>36808200
Sadly, I think we're pretty discussed out. Ah well, one last bump before bed in case someone thinks of something.
