Journal Entry #28: I did my first dungeon run today with the Blue Orb. It went really well, I think and I got a really neat gun out of it. I also may have kidnapped some tiny golems and destroyed a Knight.

Professor Ryuko said she wanted to talk to me. I'm gonna go see what she wants...

>Tali is sitting down by Faelanerium's tail. The dragon has the long fluffy appendage curled around Tali possessively. He strokes the oddly soft fluff there while the dragon hums contently.

>>43595361
... Which girl is the best one to you guys? I mean I know which ones -I- think are the best...

"So," Ryuko says, "Here's the deal. You seem to be getting along well with Faelanerium. But you gotta understand, dragons are prone to... Swings in behavior. They are fire incarnate and it is hard to work with fire without getting burned." She rubs the scarred side of her face. "So, to protect ourselves we have to create a binding rune that will link us with our dragons. This has multiple effects, see. First it makes it less likely that our dragons will lash out against us, even on accident, and hurt us with tooth, claw, or flame. Or poison... Second, while they are bound to us we can cast any spells we want using THEM as the focal point. Dragons are saturated with mana and as a result any spell cast while bound to and near them will be amplified a hundred fold."

"Huh, okay... How do we do the binding?"

"Well..."

And which ones might that be? Inquiring minds want to know.

This seems very uneven. What other effects does the rune have on the two users?

"Here's mine." She points to the runes on her chest. "It's simple and does what I need it to. You can make yours as complicated as you want. But even just copying mine would work. Don't do that, though, cause mine is an original work. Don't just steal it. Besides, coming up with your own is better for the two of you."

>>43595431
In my opinion? Well... I really like Vendal and Vaisi. So they're doing well as far as I know. Hmm... I guess right under them is Ninety-Nine Copper. Alisya is pretty cute but I don't know her that well.

>>43595449
"Are there any other effects that come from this binding?"

"Hmm... Sharing power, preventing accidental mauling... I guess your fire magic would be stronger? Or poison.

So, got an idea for your own rune?"

She seems really excited about all of this.

Don't act like you don't know.

I guess it works both ways, but it's not like the dragon really has to worry about the rider lashing out on them in the first place...
>>
>>43595501
I.. you're boning Ceera, but you didn't mention her?

Anyhow.

Just posting this proposed binding rune again, it's got the slyph and the poison rune, and can also be interpreted as having either the human or the elf rune.
>>
>>43595501

Tali, just a reminder, did you ever give the twins that device you had made by Gears? You don't want to have to owe them a favor after all.
>>
>>43595524
Would Ceera even count as a girl?
>>
>>43595524
I liked this one from a while back.
>>
>>43595544
Well, until she starts dicking Tali back I suppose.
>>
>>43595398
>Which girl is the best one to you guys?
All girls are best to at least one of us.

So, how are all the girls doing?
And the boys, we'd fuck them too.
And the gender neutrals.
>>
>>43595398
Dragon girl great girl, Ceera when/if they count, Vaisi, ninty nine copper and non body taking fishys.
>>
>>43595501
>"Hmm... Sharing power, preventing accidental mauling... I guess your fire magic would be stronger? Or poison.
So it allows us to draw on the dragon's power, and influences her behavior, but it doesn't allow her any control over us? What does it feel like to the dragon? I don't want to do this if I don't know what I'm doing to her.

>So, got an idea for your own rune?"
That rune doesn't look like it differentiates between one partner or the other.

If we're going to make a rune, I think it should be about something more personal than your species. What best represents Tali as an individual? What best represents the dragon as an individual? What represents our relationship?

>>43595524
>>43595544
Ceera is our best girlfriend/boyfriend. Of course we're going to take care of her if she needs help.
>>
>>43595604
Don't forget the genderless or eculidian gendered

She's a girl. Now, at least.
She even has boobs.

>>43595636
So.. Everyone?

>>43595619
"So will this rune change how she behaves?"

"It basically makes it so they won't accidentally harm you in a fit or on accident. They will, however, still be able to harm you if their rage is great enough. So... Don't piss her off? It's mostly just a way of making sure her rider doesn't die on accident."

>>43595694
I actually wanted to do that. Also on my to-do list.

>>43595524
Hmm...

>Tali draws out that one. Faelanerium leans in and watches.

"How's this?" Tali asks when the drawing is done.

"... It needs more fire."

"More fire?"

"Yes. More fire runes. But... It is nice."

>Ryuko comes over and looks at the rune herself. She stays silent for a while before nodding.

"Alright. You both agree on this?"

>Both dragon and rider nod.

"Good," She says. "I'll have it pressed into your armor and we can begin the ritual later today. It's a short thing but very vital. You can go back to class, Tali. And remember, don't tell anyone about this."

"I won't. Bye, Faelanerium."

>Tali goes to walk away. He feels something holding onto his cloak with an iron grip.

>Faelanerium is holding onto his cloak with two massive claws.

"I want to go with you."
>>
>>43595854
I'm concerned arcane forces might understand it a bit too literally.
>>
>>43595866
hnng my heart
>>
>>43595866
Well, can she make herself smaller and hide the draconic features? If she can, then I see no reason why not.
>>
>>43595866

That'd be great! Does she know a way to shrink or anything?
>>
>>43595866
>Who, this dragon?
>Just a friend, not bonded with her, nope
>There's no way I could be a dragon rider, why would you even think that
>What, you think that every person being followed by a dragon has to be a dragon ride? I'd never break school rules, of course.
>>
>>43595866
Tali, don't do it. Without a bind, you're risking Fael killing/maiming/BURNING your classmates if she goes with you. However, if you do let her go with you, she'll be easier to bind. I highly suggest you leave her at home.
>>
>>43595866
"You are very large and the passageways are not. How do you propose we solve this?"
>>
>>43595866
Well, can she shrink herself down? If she can and promises to be on her best behavior, I fail to see why not? If she can't shrink we need to make a spell first.
>>
>>43595932
yes, explain that the school is too small to fit her magnificence.
>>
>>43595866
As long as she can disguise herself as a student, I see no problem with her request.
>>
>>43595866
Can she come with, while also not being easy to recognize? I mean, this is a secret.
>>
>>43595866
Once the binding is complete possibly. Explain that a Dragon moving freely within school grounds is something that needs to be prepared for properly or else something bad might happen, and then instead of being fun it'll just be a miserable experience.
>>
>>43595866
How can you possibly say no to your dragonwaifu?
>>
>>43595866
There is... how do I put it diplomatically... a little problem with logistics of the whole thing. We would have to make her more human-sized.
Also the thing with being prone to fits of rage and spitting poison. She's basically a Space Marine.

Just hug her and promise you'll be back soon.
>>
>>43595866
Well the only thing about the school that we'd care to show her are the people there, so what if we promise to introduce her to our friends later? If she can't fit inside, anyway. If she can into shrinkage then I don't see a massive problem.
>>
>>43595932
You know, if her passing would be the only concers, she might as well force her way through. Dragon will not be restrained by couple bricks.
>>
>>43595866
Bring her with you, it will be good to build a rapport with her

"Well... You don't really look like a student. I mean... You're a giant dragon. Any way you can fix that?"

"Hmm... I am already tiny. But behold, Tali! Witness the power of the Dragons!"

>Faelanerium lets go of him and steps back. She then bursts into flames.

>With a quick spell Ryuko shields Tali from the flames, diverting the dangerous poisoned fire away from the elf. She gives him a 'See what I mean' look.

Tali is quick learner and touches fluffy tail without being prompted to.
>>
>>43596147
Um... she's still about as large as a dragon. The school is built for human-sized beings. There are spatial issues in our way here.

Wait, we know the rune for "small". Could we improvise a spell to shrink her?
>>
>>43596302
Convert target poison dragon into small poison dragon, mana source dragon?

Using the staff as well of course.

>>43596327
Do we need a trigger to stop the shrinking? Otherwise, she might end up tiny.

>>43596358
Who doesn't want a pocket dragon?

>>43596327
More importantly, could we reverse the spell? Amplify Dragon Body? Add Dragon to Dragon? I don't want to get her stuck in a small body.
>>
>>43596358
I suppose Tali could just stop the channeling at a suitable slightly shorter than him height.

I'm in no position to draw the rune at the moment though, someone else has to do it.

"Hmm?"

"The school is built for people my size.It can't someone of your... Magnificence."

"So? I will tear the walls to make room for me."

"No, no! That is not a good thing! Uhm, Professor, is there a way to shrink her?"

>Ryuko shakes her head.

"Nope," She says, "It's a mass problem. We shrink her then where does all the extra stuff go? Or you may end up making her more dense which, as far as we can tell, does not work well on organics. Trust me, the riders have tried to find out how."

"Darn. Sorry, Faelanerium. Maybe another time? I could bring my friends here an-"

"No!" The dragon stomps her foot on the ground. "I am a dragon! No one tells me where I can and can not go! Not even you! I am going to the school!"

>She storms off, her footsteps shaking the earth and echoing loudly in the chamber.

>Tali looks at Ryuko, his eyes wide.

"Son of a... Shen! Go stop your daughter!"

>The older dragon stares down at Ryuko. Then, with a puff of flame, she looks away and moves a little to make herself more comfortable, a clear sign that she has no intention of moving.

"Shen! Dammit Shen that is your daughter! Go get her!"

>The dragon responds by opening her mouth and shooting a bolt of lightning near Ryuko's foot. She closes her eyes and pretends to nap.

"You..! Tali, you have to get her!"

"Me!?"

One to get her a human sized-simulacrum she could "ride" to hang with you.

"Hello there. I am Vendal of Petal Class. It is my pleasure to meet you."

"Greetings, snakeperson! I am Faelanerium, Tali's partner and dragon."

"Oh," 'Vendal says, "It is nice to make your acquaintance."

Okay, guys, Tali needs a hand. Figurativelly speaking.

Remind me, how did it turn out the last time he tried to power a spell with us as a source?
>>
>>43597332
Whatever happens, make sure you keep up your aura of girly-ness.

Also, if you are about to lose the school illusion, make sure you tell Fael about it being a glamour beforehand, no need to risk a dragon-sized temper tantrum.
>>
>>43597401
It killed us.
>>
>>43597332
We could tell her that we're running low on energy. If she lets us take a break and bind her, then we could use her to power the spell.

That's how it works, right? Could you use her power for your natural elf magic?

>>43597401
We managed to create a small amount of solid matter, cracked, and lost consciousness.
>>
>>43597332
Ask Fael if she can lend you some mana.

Tali you don't need fricking huge illusions around her, just really tiny ones in front of her eye, maybe surrounding her head so she can turn her head.

What about senses of hearing, smell and walking around?
>>
>>43597481
good idea.
>>
>>43597332
Here's an idea. Take her somewhere else in reality, then make an illusion of a human-sized version of her and take it with you through the school, while showing her an illusion of what the copy sees and have it match what she does.

Would this be easier for you? I think it might be easier to copy something you're currently seeing than to make it all up yourself, but I'm not sure if it works like that. I also don't know if you can maintain the illusion from that far away. What do you think?

>That would work if not for the fact that my spells work less when they're not immediately around me. So, all in all it would be about the same difficulty.
We could probably enhance your range with runes. Transfer Elf Magic to Target? Infinite AOE Target Magic? Elf Magic Follow Target? We've got to be careful so we don't end up accidentally giving someone else your powers or something. It would be handy if we had a rune for Space or Distance or something like that.

Our hoard of WOMEN.

Basically tali's bedroom, where Ceera, vendal, varsi and 99C lie in wait.

Bedrooms seems like what she's asking for. Human hordes are pathetically tiny and spread out though Passing Anita on the way seems like a good idea though.

>>43597967
Um, most of the smaller races don't exactly keep hoards. We have possessions, but we don't do that thing of putting them all in a pile to display. We generally leave them around our living space wherever they'd be the most useful.

Speaking of which, inviting someone to our living space is generally considered a somewhat intimate request. Are you sure that's what you feel like doing?

>>43598404
Humans tend to hoard various things. While dragons with their broad tastes might hoard anything from world-ending ceer artifacts to shiny rocks, humans tend to focus on one or two things to collect. Tali, for example, while he does hoard Ceer artifacts, tends to prefer hoarding magical knowledge instead. It's not nearly as comfy to lay down on, but comfy magic can fix that, so it solves itself.

Besides, how big was your hoard when you were Tali's age? Or size?

"Well, jerks aside, I like to collect knowledge." Tali shows her his spellbook with all it's runes and new spells. "Secrets, spells, runes. All of these are a part of my hoard. So, while my treasure pile may not be that great what I have in here is far more valuable."

"It is?" She stares at the book with renewed interest.

Dragon, sweet dragon.

We would never turn such a hand against her in impropriety.

She is your future ally and bound dragon, to stoop so low behind your back is indeed beneath us.

Also we lack hands.
>>
>>43598933
For future reference, I think I might have a way around the illusion range problem. We could use a nonsentient golem body to move around the academy while you stay with her and maintain the illusion. Since the range issue is based on the distance between you and the target, it shouldn't be an issue with remote observation. The only issue is making the golems convincing, since it'll be out of range, and linking it with your minds.

Or maybe it would be easier to disguise the golem from a distance than to generate a full-sensory illusion for Fael from a distance. Would that work for you?

In any case, it should be easier to show her a good time after binding her, since you could draw on her energy to do it.
>>
>>43599170
What about a two part spell? One that places a targets senses in a golem and another that links their control of the golem to an item they can wear like a necklace?

The target would stay near to the caster and yet still allow remote operation of the golem.

We got to see the big ol' secret spellbook in the back. Remember? The one that's similar to the one we got off of Vaisi. A bigger, hopefully less evil, version where all who graduate inscribe the culmination of their work.

I'm not sure this is what I wanted.

It would be awkward just giving it back, though...

Alright, is there anything else I need to do here?
I could go and see Maolin.

Or check out this book, I guess.

>Tali opens the book just a bit. The illustrations make him immediately close it.

>>43599620
"Hey... Do you guys have any books written by the teachers here?"

"A bunch."
"Every teacher has written at least one."
"Any in particular you're looking for?"

"Hmm... Any by the leaders of the classes?"

"Of course."

>She goes and fetches the books for him, 4 in total from the leaders of each class and the headmistress. Tali thanks them and sets the books on a table.

>The one written by the headmistress is title The End of Seasons.

>Tali opens to a random page: 'is a sure sign that they were behind the affair. The Ceer have always been there. Always in the background behind every major event, every major war. Now look at the land. It is riddled with teleportation crystals that they themselves created and none lead to their own homeland. We have fallen for what is perhaps the greatest trap in the world for now our economy and society requires these things to function. We are at their mercy. It is my hope that by continuing to read this book you will see what I see and perhaps avert the tragedy that I know is sure to happen.'

Does the headmistress not like Ceer? She reminds me of Holly, actually...
>>
>>43599810
Read more into it. Is the Headmistress actually a master conspirator?

>>
>>43599810
Draw lewd little doodles in the margins, depicting bedroom applications of a teleportation crystal.

Or, I suppose if you don't like fun, just put that book down and peruse the other books. Even if the crazy conspiracy theory is 100% correct, knowing more about it won't really help you any.
>>
>>43599810
read the dragon book later. you need to know all you can to handle faela
>>
>>43599810
Okay, we should probably try to check out these books to read them in our personal time. See what the Headmistress is trying to say here. Keep in mind that, if she is some sort of conspirator, it's likely that whatever she's written in her book is an attempt to influence the reader's actions rather than reflecting her "true" motivations.

Also look through the other books, so they don't assume you were looking specifically for her.

Come to think of it, we don't really know a whole lot about your world's economy or politics. We know a lot of little tidbits, but that's mostly about the cultural and physical quirks of the various races.
>>
>>43599810
C'mon, ya prude. You didn't even give us a look!

Besides, underneath all the smut and lewd imagery, there's probably some genuinely good info. Look for things on 'setting the mood.' For humans, that involves dim lights, pleasant smells, soothing music, and soft beds. A lack of strain on the senses. Looking up the same for dragons can lend you genuine insight on how to avoid irritating her accidentally.

>Holly's book seems to be a history of wars. Ryuko's is the rise and fall of the dragon riders. Elza's talks about Necromancy and practical applications.

>Tali reads a bit more: 'Their artifacts are by far the most dangerous thing. A leech that draws the elemental nature out of us normal people and turns us into one of them in a slow, sickening process. I have seen the gradual transformation once before. To see someone slowly lose their mind... Ceer are clever. They made their artifacts useful and the change gradual. Most don't even seem to care.'

I knew that bit... But I didn't know the headmistress knew this much abou-

"Tali." A voice says, close to his ear. The elf jumps and sees it is Argen Sin. She adjusts her glasses. "I see you have begin to dig deeper into -it-."

"... It?"

"Yes. -It-. The Headmistress's book is full of many errors about the Ceer and their physiology but it touches upon the great truth."

"And that is..?"

"We are Doomed."

>>43600178
She's probably right, the Ceer seem to have the world by the balls. Does she know of their Kissing addiction and reminding people of their old personality helping them fight it?
>>
>>43600178
Nah. We're not doomed. We just gotta get chummy with the Ceer. They're not that bad.
>>
>>43600178
The solution is simple.

We fuck the Ceer.
>>
>>43600178
Actually, this style of assimilation is rarely successful at total world domination, as the affected display clear signs of transformation that they will rarely hide or even deny. As such , it is extremely to halt the spread of infection, especially since there is only one vector which can only affect one person at a time.
Instead, it has the hallmarks of a last fallback, as the existence of a single artifact ensures the eventual creation of another Ceer even if all prior member of the species were rendered extinct.
>>
>>43600178
She says she's seen it happen once before. Who could be the person she's talking about? When was this book written? It must have been before Vaisi. But then why would she be so angry about you freeing her from her curse? Was she simply resentful that you managed to save someone when she couldn't?

Maybe this book is meant to be a false argument. If it contains factual errors, it might be a way of making anti-Ceer conspiracy theories look stupid so that people won't take their actual conspiracy seriously. But then, she'd probably try to publish it under a pseudonym, wouldn't she?

As for draining a person's elemental nature... that should have a relatively simple fix, wouldn't it? One could imbue another person with that element to reverse the process. There's probably more to it than that.

There very well may not be anything more to it than that, we should probably try it.

"Doomed?"

"Doomed. Entropy will destroy us... The Ceer will turn us back to what we were. They will lay their eggs inside of us and we will be the vessel to a new age of Void. We are truly Doomed."

"I... I don't think that's right. Ceer aren't that bad. I mean, they're pretty sweet once you get to know them. Also, they're weak to simple things like... Throwing stuff at them. Kissing. Other stuff, I guess."

"They may seem weak but in reality they are... Wait, how do you know those weaknesses? Did... Did you kiss a Ceer?"

"W-what! No! Of course not!"

"By Alana you did! YOU'RE INFECTED! THEIR EGGS ARE IN YOUR FACE!"

"They're not-"

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

>Argen Sin runs off, shoving several students out of the way as she does.

>>43600296
>>43600327
If this is right, though... What does it mean? Are they trying to take over or just trying to not die? I remember Ceera had a cold and she seemed like she was on the verge of death the whole while. They're not physically very strong.

>>43600370
Yeah. Here she is all pissed off about me helping Vaisi but in this book alone she talks about how Ceer artifacts are horrible and the use of them is bad.

Does it really matter? They're not evil. They don't force people to use their artifacts. It's just a drawback that benefits them, and it's a well known one. They are a bit immoral, I suppose, that's it.

Humans resent the loss of self. They're very individualistic. They would see such artifacts as inherently evil, even if you can easily use them without losing yourself. I mean, you can just stop, and there are clear warning signs. There is no indication it's addictive, even, outside of those people who cling to power at their own expense.

Go to maolin!

In the face and pants region.
>>
>>43600546
Whatever it is, they're definitely up to something more than just making more Ceer. They've got hidden magical mechanisms hidden all over the world; they must serve some sort of purpose. Our own Ceer friend has been reluctant to talk about some of the things his people have been doing, so there's surely a larger conspiracy at work here, one that might put him in danger.
>>
>>43600546
>Here she is all pissed off about me helping Vaisi but in this book alone she talks about how Ceer artifacts are horrible and the use of them is bad.
Allow me to explain human logic.

Vaisi used artifacts. Artifacts are bad because they turn you into Ceer. Ceer are bad because the made artifacts. Therefore, Vaisi is bad because she is associated with Ceer and/or things related to Ceer.

In all likelihood she was so against helping Vaisi because iin her view Vaisi is a permanently tainted Ceer-in-waiting, and the correct way to handle her was to allow the transformation to complete, then rightiously kill the resulting Ceer for murdering Vaisi.

"A dungeon run. Fought a Knight and this came out of them. The Knight was already half destroyed."

"Do you know what this is?"

"It's a soul, right?"

>Maolin nods.

"The body, in my opinion, is naught but a vessel for holding this. The spark of life, given to us by the goddess Alana and augmented by the great Serin. This is, in my opinion, the most valuable kind of artifact in the world. For you see, without exception, it costs a life to make this. Always.

Speaking of spying, have you considered making an additional cover story if your illusion magic is for some reason compromised? I can only offer suggestions, of course, but one possible way of explaining you being male would be to say that while you are a boy, you always have wanted to be female, and that your illusion magic is a result of pursuing that dream.

This would be a last resort, of course, as I doubt you want others to think that you want to be a girl unless there's no other option. Or maybe you do. I don't judge.

"Well... It seems wrong to just destroy it. Do you think you could make a body for it?"

"It would be simple, yes. However, you ask asking me to give a knight a body. A Knight that you fought. One that may want to kill you and everyone in this school. In my opinion, Tali, the cons outweigh the pros."

"I'm... Fairly certain it won't try to kill us."

"How can you be sure?"

"It didn't want to my last fight. It was destroyed by the others before I could tell them to stop. And I'm sure giving it a body back will help improve it's disposition towards me."

>Maolin looks at The Price of Life again.

"... You leave me in a difficult position, Tali. My choices now are to destroy this or build it a body. Of the two destroying it would weigh more heavily on my conscious. There is a life in there, one that is locked away with no eyes to see and no ears to hear. But it is still alive... Very well. I will help you build this body.

That's a terrible excuse. Nobody would buy that for a second, and it would carry even less weight as a reason.

Better excuse: Tali honestly thinks that he's a human girl. We, a mind-altering Ceer artifact, have been influencing his subconscious to project illusions to this effect and directed his attention away from acknowledging his skill with illusions. We have done this for shits and giggles. In the event of exposure, we take all blame and can hopefully guide events towards supporting a plan in which Tali's feminity is supported by the school itself for the sake of preventing mental trauma to an innocent.

"Well, I was thinking something elf shaped? It really liked elves. It won't be made out of clay, will it?"

"It doesn't have to be."

"Flesh is too difficult to work with without it looking like an abomination. We would need a dead body for anything decent. Those are on short supply. I can work with other materials."

"Metal? Plastic?"

The knight was male, so making the body a boy is ideal.

Also it's been, I don't know how many threads since we've come up with any new spells for Tali, does anyone have any ideas for new stuff?

>>43601255
Is there anything she wants to add? This is her idea baby too

"Humans prefer it." She explains. "And it makes our lives easier because of that. So, the face will be relatively simple."

"That's fine. Oh, also, I picked up a pair of golems at the dungeon and gave them to Ninety-Nine. I was wondering if you wanted to check on them."

"Sure."

>The two of them leave Root class and head off to the front of the school, Maolin placing the artifact inside of herself before going.

>The front is packed with students, all surrounding where Ninety-Nine Copper usually is. He hears the golem's voices yelling directions at one another while Ninety-Nine handles merchandise. She seems very pleased with herself.

"That's them?" Maolin asks.

"Yeah... There weren't this many people here the other day."

"There are never this many people here."

>Ninety-Nine Copper waves at Tali, beckoning him from across the crowd.
>He tries to approach her but the crowd is too thick.

>>43601652
Assert your authority as co-manager of the ninety-nine copper store and force your way to the storefront.
>>
>>43601652
Just, you know, ask them to please move? It's not like they're a bunch of strangers. You know them well enough that they will do something that small, at the very least.
>>
>>43601652
....what...

ask maolin for help
>>
>>43601652
Cast wide range comfy magic then fine them for loitering on store property.
>>
>>43601652
Something is amiss here. Remove this fake 99c and seduce the loli golems for answers.
>>
>>43601652
Assert some subtle illusion magic. Make everyone in your way think the person next to you is pushing just a bit more closely than they are. That should clear a path for you.

What's with the sudden influx of customers? In a paranoid mood, I'll suggest some sort of mind control from the golems to lure in greedy adventurers. Ceera did say there was some sort of dark secret to the adventure portal; maybe this is part of it. But don't be too quick to judge, just be on your guard for any magical effects going on.
>>
>>43601716
Stop casting magic on people like that, it's irresponsible like fuck.

Just make your way to the golems like a reasonable elf.

>Tali slowly makes his way through the crowd, pushing aside a few people gently and asking others to step aside. When one challenges him saying they were there first he reminds them that he is co-manager of this store, something Ninety-Nine confirms from afar.

>When he reaches the front the small girl wraps her arms around him in a tight embrace.

"Tali! Look! We're selling so much now!"

"That's great, Ninety-Nine. How did this happen?"

"Everyone just... Showed up. And they started to buy things. Now the store has enough profit to purchase more items. Perhaps even a room inside. We... I... This is great."

>Tali glances over at the golem.
>She smiles at him.

>He feels a sudden urge to buy things.

Just kinda gently move people out of the way, it's not hard.

HMMM. THE GOLEM HAS MIND CONTROL. This is not good. After it wears off they're going to be angry.
I think we should get Orange Orb's take on this. Then put a stop to it, in a way that won't cast blame on 99c.
>>
>>43601837
ignore it.
put on a malicious grin, stare back at golem. then take the hats, she has lost the right to double hat.

Also, question the double-hatted golem. Is she using the powers of capitalism for evil? Do we need to scold her?
>>
>>43601837
the golems clearly cast some kind of "BUY STUFF" spell. You need to make sure it doesn't go overboard.
>>
>>43601837

>He feels a sudden urge to buy things.

Beware Tali, there may be some magic at work to loosen your wallet of its cash.

But check out the stuff there if there's something interesting in stock.
>>
>>43601837
Take the Golem aside, so you don't accidentely 99's feelings, then firmly remind her that mind influencing magic is very frowned upon in the workplace. Back with Ninety-Nine, ask her what she would like to focus on with her shop.
>>
>>43601837
That's good. Tali, get your share of the profits, before anything else.

Then go talk to the golems and see if you can figure out what they did.
>>
>>43601837
Yes. We absolutely need to buy more items.
>>
>>43601837
Definitely magicat work. Use your Detect Mana and Ward Magic spells.

>Tali goes up to the double hatted golem and pulls her aside for a bit.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Former master, we are simply helping our new mistress to the best of our abilities."

"With magic?"

"Of course." She says with a nod. "My sister and I can influence others. We have decided to use our powers to help Mistress Copper's business. As you can see it is doing well."

"..."

>Tali takes her hat.

"W-what!? Former Master!? Have I done something wrong!? We are simply helping our new mistress!"

Rolled 1 (1d20)

>>43602008
Take away both hats, Tali. Or, if you'd rather, you can give them a different punishment~
>>
>>43602008
It's not good to control people's minds. Did she tell you to do that?
>>
>>43602008
"you were supposed to be the one that tells the truth. what is going to happen when they see whatever it is they bought and can't remember why they bought it?"
>>
>>43602008
Tell her mind-altering magic is immoral in a business environment. Also that she has to fess up now, and make it clear to the customers that it was their idea, not Ninety-Nine's.
>>
>>43602008
tell her that you might get her in trouble with business law enforcement agencies if she uses mind affecting magic in this way.

So, like, turn it down a little.
>>
>>43602008
It is definitely helpful. It is also something that will definitely cause negative feelings from both the customers and your mistress when they learn that you have been using methods other than simple, non-magic persuasion to get people to buy her wares.
>>
>>43602046
hey, we can keep a lid on this. no need to publically out everyone.

A one-time buying surge can be explained away as a fad, followed by some buyer's remorse. it's only really suspicious if it keeps happening, even though people keep regretting it.

And if nobody regrets it, nobody will even notice.
>>
>>43602008
Maybe, but too much "help" can backfire. Some of these people might not take kindly when they come to and figure out what happened. Plus 99 is s great salesperson already, isn't using magic like saying you don't have faith in her ability?
>>
>>43602008
They should probably use a less direct method of making people want to buy stuff.
>>
>>43602065
Seconded.
>>
>>43602008

At the very least ton it down a little bit, if you people catch wind that you're using magic to influence them to buy stuff, they'll spread the word and no one will want to come by again.

Also your sister deserves to have her own hat back.
>>
>>43602046
They don't need to know, that would just complicate things.
>>
>>43602065
Well if 99 is willing to give out refunds then it'll be fine, I guess? I'm really worried that people will realize what happened and blame her.

At the least, we can tell the golems that if anyone gets mad, they are to take the blame.
>>
>>43602008
The legality of mind magic in the work place is sketchy at best, with this is mind they are to pursue more legal avenues of increasing revenue.
>>
>>43602120
I just really want 99 to get some seed money and be able to buy more items.
it might be best to defer to her on this, if it comes to a decision, as it's her store after all.
>>
>>43602008
One of the basic tenets of shopkeeping is that the customer is always right. This doesn't mean the customer is never wrong about anything, but that you should try treat them nicely and fairly. Ninety-Nine would be heart-broken if she learns you violated this tenet in the operation of the store she so dearly loves. Is that what you want to do to your new mistress?
>>
>>43602008
Too oblique, and too forceful. While I appreciate the business it has gotten so far, you must take more care in the future. In the future, try to be subtle in marketing techniques. Perhaps even non-magical, since this is a setting where detecting magic is fairly easy.

"...."

>Tali takes the other hat. The golem looks devastated.

"W-whyyyy!?"

"You can't do stuff like that! What if-" He lowers his voice. "What if others found out? They would hate Ninety-Nine and never come back here again! Mind control magic is bad, you hear me! Bad!"

"B-but we're only working with what we know best! This is all we have!"

"... I understand that but you should think before you do something like this or at least ask your Mistress. Ninety-Nine would be devastated if she found out that all her new popularity was because of this. Do you want that?"

"... No...."

"Then you have to find a way to advertise that isn't possibly very illegal. And if anyone finds out you two gotta fess up. We can't tell now otherwise there might be a mob."

"Okay... But... Former Master... What can we do instead, then?"
>>
>>43602185
you both are VERY adorable.
And 99's products aren't that bad.
See about more traditional advertisement? And do you have any other magic powers other than the mind stuff?
>>
>>43602185
Go around campus finding out what sorts of things people would want to buy, then stock it?
>>
>>43602185
oh, and: if they only have mind control powers, how bout using them to just make people pay slightly more attention to the product on display?
No actual "buy now" in there.
>>
>>43602185
For now, tone it down. It stands to reason that emanating things like calm and comfort to those who ARE shopping is perfectly legal, for example, even moreso when making a purchase. Additionally, even if you don't fess up to the mob, you do need to fess up to 99c. Lastly...here's a hat back. She has enough money to actually buy proper stock, now. However you got it, that's still a good thing. Doesn't cancel out the other stuff, but it's still a good thing.
>>
>>43602185
Conventional advertisement, sales, specialized stock, and simply taking notice of any problems others may be having and telling them about something sold at the shop that may be helpful
>>
>>43602185
use your cuteness and speaking ability to convince people to buy things.

give her her hat back when you are done. they both are now one hats.
>>
>>43602185
Find customers and try to find out what they actually want to buy.
>>
>>43602185
Can they translate for 99c or offer translating services in general?
>>
>>43602185

Market Research & Target Audience research. Who are you selling to? What kind of goods sell the best? How can you advertise or improve goods to make them more appealing than similar products? Maybe even bundling services with goods? That sort of thing.
>>
>>43602185
Convince 99c to buy a third hat and whoever (99c included) is employee of the month gets the hat.
>>
>>43602185

>adorable tiny golem with heart-shaped pupils about to cry

i want to help, but all i feel is the urge to bully more.
>>
>>43602286
Whoa now, I don't think it's that kind of place of business.
>>
>>43602185
Take stock of the merchandise, and advertise particular items to passing students if you think they could use them. In a nice way, not a "wow your bedhead is terrible, you should buy this comb to make yourself somewhat presentable' way.

Also, depending on how your powers work, talk with Ninety-Nine and see about maybe offering your mind-altering abilities as a service? Affecting only the customer themselves, of course. Things like selling confidence boosts for those trying to work up the courage to confess to someone, or making people sleepier if they're having insomnia troubles. Assuming that's within your purview, of course, and if Ninety-Nine approves.

>>43602265
Supporting this. We should also probably redistribute the previous two hats to their original arrangement.
>>
>>43602185
They could hand out brochures listing products and sales. They could do any menial tasks that would help make the store nicer like cleaning, polishing, improving the signage...
>>
>>43602311
>original arrangement
>not giving them each the opposite hat
>>
Give the other hat back to her sis.

Bigby's magical thunderdome.

Two hats enter, one hat leaves
>>
>>43602185
The real question is-
WHY DOES NONE OF 99C's SHIT SELL IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Let's have a good look at her inventory.
>>
>>43602185
Just, be personable and help advertise? Pretty simple really.
>>
>>43602185
step one: get tasty cookies
step two: be adorable
step three: sell overpriced tasty cookies door to door while looking adorable and like you need the money.
>>
>>43602388
It does though, she has had several customers, her shop just isn't very prominent.
>>
>>43602458
Well then have them work on advertising like people are saying.
Cute little golembots will bring in plenty of profit, if the surge of people from this stunt doesn't cause word-of-mouth advertising anyways.

"It's pretty simple, really. Just advertise properly. Take stock of inventory. Find out what people really want. Offer specials, take care of the shop, be personable. Heck, after you tell Ninety-Nine your power I'm sure there's a way to market that."

>Tali spends a few minutes going over the advice You gave to the little golems. They listen closely, nodding and murmuring to themselves at each point. Their magic has faded by now and the crowd has dwindled somewhat but still some people are buying things. When Tali ends his talk he gives each their hat back.

"Do you guys understand?"

>They both nod.

"Good. Now don't let me down. Be the best you can be! Make Ninety-Nine proud!"

>The moment he dismisses them they run off, the black dressed one trying to yell and get a person's attention, desperately asking them if they prefer black or white cloaks while the black suited one jumps in front of the store.

"Come one, come all to the Ninety-Nine Copper or More Store! A name so fine it rhymes! Get all you need right here!"

>A few of those wandering away are drawn back in by her words.

>All throughout Ninety-Nine looks more pleased than Tali has ever seen her.
