Become The Vampire 29

It's been a weird afternoon so far. The school day was pretty normal, for the most part, but in the last hour you've attempted rune magic for the first time, almost blown yourself up, created a homunculus that calls you “daddy” and exposed Meliora's insecurities about how alive she really is. Plus you still need to talk to Jennifer about her new job, talk to Angie about her boss and her meeting at some point, and see if Sammy and Andrea are alright after the party last night. Well, you don't have to, but you kinda want to. You give Meliora a squeeze and release her.

“So, what happens now?”

Meliora runs her eyes.

“Well, my dad isn't going to be happy that one of the defense droids is now flesh and blood... I was hoping to get her upgraded and online before he noticed she was being 'repaired', but now he's going to work it out for sure. And since the math teacher is gone, he won't be able to get a fresh core crafted safely, so he's going to be even more upset.”

You nod slowly as Athena moves to your side and latches onto you. Meliora rolls her eyes.

“You'll need to be careful. We should head back to our room and work this out from there.”

>Rules
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.

Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

Reasons including not getting reaped.

Glad to see you, QM

>>44773254
>Actually, let's see the nurse first. For reasons.

I think we should get angie's input on robo daughter asap. Better we tell her about this up front then have her find out on her own.
>>
>>44773254
>>Actually, let's see the nurse first. For reasons.
Just a check-up, make sure it's all good under the hood, er, magic core or whatever.
Then she can get taken home with us and spoiled.
>>
>>44773254
>Actually, let's call the nurse first. For reasons.
>>
I can picture the scene now.
Oliver kicking open the door and screaming "ANGIE HOW PURE IS MY DAUGHTERU!?"
>>
You look at Athena and pat her on the head before pausing. Unnatural life. What was it Angie said? Those who drive the dead to dance will swiftly join their ranks? You don't know how golem cores are made, or if this artificial soul will get you in trouble, but the safest thing you can think of at the moment is making sure that Angie doesn't reap you for this and smoothing this over as soon as possible.

“Actually, we should take her to the nurse. Get her a checkup, make sure that everything is fine. She's not mechanical anymore, so your dad won't be able to help us out, and I don't want any accidents. You said that she's stable right now, right?”

Meliora sighs.

“Fine, but if anything goes wrong it's on you.”

You smile down at Athena.

“We're going to see someone to get you checked out, alright?”

Athena nods before moving behind you and scrambling up your back, arms around your neck and floppy sleeves dangling across your chest. Meliora's eyes glow for a moment.

“And saved. I'm gonna start a little family album of the two of you. She's got your eyes and everything.”

Meliora walks back over to the computer and presses a few buttons, a panel on the wall opening up, and she pulls out a backpack.

“The nurse is a reaper, by the way. I've only got a few rounds of ammunition capable of warding her off, and it's only a temporary measure, but I do have a few traps I can set in case things go horribly wrong.”

She heads for the door without waiting for a response.

>Alright, let's get moving
>Actually, I know Angie's a reaper. She's my friend.
>Do you really need the weapons?
>Maybe you should meet me at the room.

This is Day 8 we've been at school.

A Monday evening.
>>
>>44773620
Wonder if we will get a time skip at some point. At the rate we're going it'll be years before we get to Drac's Christmas party.
>>
>>44773669
If we can get this situation stabilized, I think we'll get it going. QM rolls in the background for all the other events that happen. If we can manage to stay out of it a bit, we'll probably be okay.
>>

>>44773703
>Still haven't picked a waifu
>>
>>44773697
Sounds good, we just need to deal with a few things, like, well, everything mentioned in the OP.
Also, Athena needs a sitter while we're at classes.
>>
>>44773725
Good thing her mom never goes to classes.
>>
>>44773725
Maybe we can claim WolfMom and then show her the power of our blood with a new baby. Milfs love kids.
>>
You follow along behind Meliora, smirking.

“Actually, I know that Angie's a reaper. She's been my friend since I got here, same as you. We play poker sometimes.”

Meliora looks over her shoulder at you.

“Will you ever stop being surprising? You're making it hard to properly adjust the sensitivity of my settings when you keep coming up with new ways to hopelessly annihilate my expectations.”

Athena giggles.

“Annihilate!”

She leans back, legs wrapped around your waist, and thrusts her fists into the air.

“Boom!”

She wobbles and then hastily grabs onto your collar to steady herself, which in turn almost sends you tumbling to the ground. Meliora grabs your wrist and holds you upright until you find your footing again, and Athena clings to you tightly.

“There. Better?”

You and Athena both nod, and Meliora turns and continues walking.

“Honestly, you're both as bad as each other...”

You and Athena exchange glances and shrug, and you follow Meliora the rest of the way to the nurse's office. When you arrive Meliora sits next to the door and begins unpacking what appears to be some kind of rifle made of black metal, loading it with strange bullets that look more like masses of black vines than actual ammunition, and they make your head hurt to look at.

“I'll cover you. Go on ahead.”

You nod and look at the door.

>Leave Athena outside
>Take her in with you
>Enter slowly and cautiously, one step at a time
>Walk in casually like it ain't no thing
>Barge in, act panicked, ask for help
>Other (write-in)
>>
>>44773725
Maybe she can make herself look a bit older and go to school as a freshman? She needs the socialization experience more than the education, I bet. She'll pick up knowledge fast.
>>
>>44773743
Ah! Good point! Her mother/aunt/sister does have some emotional problems though.... still, it'd be good bonding!

>>44773756
>>Walk in casually like it ain't no thing
>Take her in with you
>>44773758
I'd be worried. I mean, this is a school full of monsters, someone might try to take advantaged of Most Pure Daughteru.
Remember dad's old motto: Around Drac, watch your back.
>>
>>44773756
>>Take her in with you
>>Walk in casually like it ain't no thing

Hey Angie made a super advanced bio golem daughter on accident. It's cool right? Didn't make a taboo booboo?
>>
>>44773810
Clearly we train her a bit first. And ask Mel if Chico or w/e it's name was can accompany her til she's strong enough.
>>
>>44773756
>Hey, Angie, quick question, is a golem still not a breach of ethical codes if it still uses a golem core and not quite a soul?
>>
>>44773840
We didn't raise the dead we made a new soul out of our blood, magic and technology. Clones are cool and if it was a big problem someone high up would be all over it already.
>>
>>44773756
>“Annihilate!”
>She leans back, legs wrapped around your waist, and thrusts her fists into the air.
>“Boom!”
So.
Freakin.
Cute.

Waifu can take backseat now. Protecting our daughteru and getting her some grandparents to help spoil her is now top priority.
>>
>>44773874
Hey dad is fine, keep her the fuck away from mom though.
>>
Maybe this will be the straw that finally pushes Sammy away so we can get all up in that strong ice wolf and start that super pack.
>>
You open the door and step inside, smiling as you carry Athena into the office.

“Hey Angie, how's it going? I've got a quest-”

When the blade of Angie's scythe stops an inch from your face you stop short, and you peer over it at Angie. Her dark hair has turned white, and one of her eyes is glowing red.

“...tion. Um...”

Angie drops her scythe, clutching at her head and staggering backward.

“No, Zeke, this is... my turf!”

Angie laughs. Another voice, distinctly male. It's a cold, cruel chuckle.

“You don't get to decide this one, we have rules. Artificial spirits must be destroyed!”

Her hair begins to turn back to normal bit by bit.

“She's a golem! And as a monster, we have to let her live! Do you want to break the pact and sacrifice all the humans here?”

She trips over her scythe and squirms on the ground, eyes shut tightly.

“Fine then, Angela. She can live. For now. The moment she leaves this place, though...”

Angie pants quietly, opening her eyes. She frowns at you.

“What did you do...?”

>Maybe I should go...?
>What was that all about?
>I may have made a homunculus...
>It's been a weird afternoon, what can I say?
>Nothing. At all. Why would you think I did something? Hahaha.
>Other (write-in)
>>
>>44773894
Mom might be okay if either A) we bring her back as a human, or B) we bring her back as our subordinate.

>>44773906
I'm not sure Jenny will want to play mom to someone else either.

>>44773911
>I may have made a daughter...
We are not discussing our daughter as a thing.
>>
>>44773911
>Maybe I should go...?
>>
>>44773911
>>What was that all about?
>>I may have made a homunculus...
Totally accidental also golem can't be spirits can they?
>>
>"I took your advice about not getting backed up and there was this golem core with nice curves and well wouldn't you know it..."
>>
>>44773911
>...I accidentally optimized a golem core beyond realistic parameters. Using a single rune for magic. In my own blood. Accidentally. Also some of my blood so it'd have a body.
>>
>>44773911
>>What was that all about?
>Other (write-in) Made a daughter. Angie, this is Athena. Athena, this is Angie.
Angie what the fu-...dge was that?
>>
>>44773911
>>44773966
Second.
>>
>>44773953
>>44773956
I don't want to discuss Athena as a thing.

>>44773911
>>44773966
This
>>
>>44773954
Let's try not to get shot by Meliora now.
>>
>>44773935
If we have to bring her back as our subordinate we may as well not bring her back at all and save our selves headaches. Also I'm not sure she'd be sane as a human after what she's done.
>>
>>44773906
I'm kind of expecting Sammy to have a positive reaction, based on her reaction to us acting paternally towards Sophie.
>>
>>44773986
>If we have to bring her back as our subordinate we may as well not bring her back at all
I disagree. We just have to order her to not be a cunt and act in a way that won't cause dad pain.

>>44774051
I dunno. That was a friend versus our own daughter.
>>
>>44774051
whatever gets us closer to finally touching dat fluffy queen tail.
>>
“Two things. One, what was that all about? Two, I accidentally made a daughter using a golem core, blood, and some crude rune magic spells. I just kinda winged it and Athena is the result. Athena? This is Angie. Angie? This is Athena.”

Athena climbs off your back and walks over to Angie. The two look at each other for a moment before Athena sits down on Angie's stomach.

“Were you gonna kill my daddy...?”

Angie shakes her head.

“Nope. My brother, Zeke? Yep. He would have done it. He works it a different department than I do, and he doesn't have a corporeal body to manifest with, so he was trying to use mine. What you're sitting on right now is basically a false body that I'm piloting around. He was trying to take control, so to speak.”

Athena nods and pokes Angie's nose before laying down on her. Angie blinks, then looks at you.

“I didn't think you'd be taking my advice in this direction. I mean, blood wasn't even the fluid I was talking about.”

Athena rolls onto her back and waves at you, sleeve flopping back and forth.

>And on that note we're outta here.
>Angie, no rude implications in front of Athena.
>I mean, how could I resist? Meliora was right there, with only one arm, and I couldn't help myself.
>Other (write-in)
>>
>>44773911
Casually introduce Angie and Athena to each other. Then explain that you're not really sure what you did, but you promise not to use rune magic on a golem core ever again.
>>
>>44774083
>>I mean, how could I resist? Meliora was right there, with only one arm, and I couldn't help myself.
>Angie, no rude implications in front of Athena.

>>44774083
>Angie, no rude implications in front of Athena.
I fully intend to be a good father here.
>And on that note we're outta here.
>>
>>44774063
Problem is vampires only control their subordinates through blood pact and if she wanted too she'd find a loophole. remember how quickly that coven said they didn't care if we slaughtered their families if we left them alone?

>>44774083
>>Angie, no rude implications in front of Athena.
>>>Other (write-in) could you give her a check up?
>>
>>44774083
>>44774114
This.
Even though we're being rude too.
>>
>>44774083
>So, is Zeke gonna be trying to kill me and her now? Because I'm not gonna just roll over on this.
>>
>>44774083
>Angie, no rude implications in front of Athena.
>Other (write-in) could you give her a check up?
>>
>>44774083
Ask what Zeke meant by "the moment she leaves this place." Is she stuck on school grounds, or can she go around the town too?
>>
>>44774128
Oh, yea. Mom doesn't get to be a vamp. Though if we find some other way to be semi-immortal, we can share that with them both too.

>>44774083
Add this>>44774162 to everything else. It's sorta important too.

“I didn't think you'd be taking my advice in this direction. I mean, blood wasn't even the fluid I was talking about.”


Ayy Lmao. Why the fuck aren't we waifuing Angie?
>>
The misarchivist got us. We're under Superhuman legacy 22
>>
>>44774183
We could try remaking what we did for Athena, but that will probably require powerful vampirism, reversing the vampirism to get our souls back, and then transfer the souls into the magic soul cores.
NOT COMPLICATED AT ALL
>>
>>44774223
Ha
>>
>>44774212
>Why the fuck aren't we waifuing Angie?
Waifuing Angels leads to bad things

>>44774229
Or simply use Rune magic to extend our lifespan.
>>
Next time we dream we gotta check out Angie's real form. Don't care that it will kill us. Wolf mom is cool but Angel of Death waifu owns.
>>
>>44774212
Cause if she knew we were planning to bring our folks back, she'd have to reap us.

We can long term waifu her, post immortality.

>>44774223
I don't see how, I archived it on suptg myself.

>>44774229
Last thread QM said we couldn't transfer our soul, just our consciousness, and we'd prolly go insane.
>>
>>44774223
Is there any way to fix this once it's archived?
>>
>>44774261
Last thread QM didn't expect us to make a daughter, so, y'know...
>>
>>44774261
Dude check, please it's wrong. You either misarchived or someone beat you to the punch.

>>44774270
Contact the Lord Licorice either via e-mail or the sup/tg/ irc.
>>
You chuckle softly and sigh.

“Angie, don't make those kinds of jokes around her. I'm trying to be a good dad here.”

Angie nods.

“And I'm being the wacky aunt who teaches her all about boys and how to juggle knives and stuff, and lets her sleep over at my place with her best friend when she's in her experimental phase.”

Athena smiles at you.

“Experimental!”

You smirk at them.

“Angie, can you give her a proper checkup? I want to make sure she's going to be physically fine.”

Angie sits up a bit.

“Sure thing. Come on, Hop, time for a medical exam.”

Athena stands up and starts to bunny hop over to one of the beds. You raise an eyebrow.

“Hop?”

Angie brushes herself off and stands.

“Yeah. You're Ollie, and she's a little Ollie. A hop.”

Athena starts to take off her jumpsuit, and Angie closes a curtain.

“You can come back in ten minutes or so. I'm gonna test for everything and make sure that she'll be alright.”

>I'll be right outside if you need me.
>Mind if I use your chair for a bit then?
>See her safely to my room when you're done?
>Alright, back in ten.

I'd rather not get too far away, considering we were nearly murdered by her body, like, ten seconds ago.

After the story ended, while he was answering questions...

You head for the door.

“I'll be right outside in case you guys need me for anything, alright? Athena, be a good girl.”

The curtain cuts off your view of her right as she starts to nod, and you walk outside. Meliora is standing at attention with her rifle, Canny hovering next to her shoulder.

“Status report?”

You gesture to the door.

“She's getting a medical exam right now to make sure that she's alright and Angie's brother nearly put a scythe between my eyes. So there's that. I think you can stand down for now though.”

Meliora nods and begins dismantling her rifle, packing it away. Canny hovers around you before landing on your head and beeping quietly at you. You sit down against the wall and Meliora moves next to you.

“So what do we do while we wait?”

You shrug.

“No clue.”

Meliora nods and closes her eyes.

“Fair enough.”

>>
You reach up and gently pat Canis while you wait.

“So what were those bullets made from? They looked kinda like vines.”

Meliora leans back slightly and looks at you.

“Angels can't tolerate certain substances. Black iron, for instance, taken from the deepest regions of the pit, can temporarily take away an angel's divine radiance and make them weaker than mortals. Black iron is grown rather than mined, and because it's hard to work with and impossible to smelt it's usually just compressed into the desired shape or grown in specially made containers to form it naturally. These bullets are hard to use because of their shape, but they seek out angels once fired, so that tends to make up for it.”

You nod and gently move Canis to your lap, inspecting the little droid. It has a lot of little flaps on its mostly smooth exterior, so it probably has little appendages tucked away, and probably some weapons of its own. It turns itself over slowly before hovering up and positioning itself an inch from your face, bumping against your nose before moving back to its perch atop your head.

The rest of the wait passed fairly easily, and when Angie opens the door Athena immediately runs out of the office, lollipop clutched between her teeth and a smile on her face. Angie steps out and waves at Meliora, who gives a half-hearted wave in return.

“Well, she's medically fine. I mean, her cells are literally exploding on a constant basis and being replaced by new ones instantly by her core, but aside from her extreme metabolic rate and the fact that her brain is literally a blob of useless fat cells while her core does all the work, she's fairly normal.”

Athena walks over to you and takes the lollipop out of her mouth, shoving it into yours with a smile. It's sour apple. Very, very sour apple.

“Good...?”

>Yes. Very good. Can I keep it?
>You've earned it, not me. You can have it.
>Alright, back to the room then.

You nod and offer it back to her.

“It's good, but you're the one who earned it, not me.”

She nods and chomps down in it, crunching the candy and chewing on the stick. You pat her on the head and turn to Angie.

“Thanks for checking on her. And is there anything I need to know about Zeke? You can tell me later if need be, but I want to make sure that everything is going to be alright.”

Angie nods.

“I'll tell you everything tonight, don't worry. For now I have a brother to berate.”

You get to your feet and Athena climbs onto your back once more.

“I guess we head back to the room then?”

Meliora nods and starts walking, and you follow behind her, Canny still balancing on your head. When you get back to the room Meliora walks inside and chucks her backpack onto her bed. Jennifer is on your bed reading in a bathrobe and, you assume, underwear. She pauses, sniffs at the air, and grimaces.

“What in the world is that sme-”

She looks at you, then at Athena, and gags, running to the bathroom and slamming the door closed. You crouch a bit so Athena can climb down and try to work out what the problem is. Oh right. Athena's cells are dying constantly, and Jennifer's nose is sensitive. She probably smells like a corpse to her or something. Hmm.

So, does this mean our daughter is a living corpse? Cause I can see how that might be toeing the line of necromancy.

Best solution, at least until Athena learns to stabilize her cells.

“Meliora, can you make a suit for Athena? One that'll hide her scent? I think she's going to need one for the time being.”

Meliora nods a bit.

“Sure, I can do that. Just to hide her scent, right?”

She opens up a case and pulls a few devices out, carrying them over to Athena and starting to attach them to the work suit she's wearing. You head for the bathroom and step inside, closing the door behind yourself. Jennifer is kneeling beside the toilet, panting softly and shaking. You move next to her and pat her on the back.

“Are you alright?”

Jennifer nods slightly.

“I will be... She just... It's rather unpleasant, that smell... She smells the way that you would if you were dead. It made me scared and nauseous all at once.”

She turns and hugs you, taking a deep breath.

“But you're alright. You're not dead. So I'll be fine.”

You chuckle quietly.

“I'm too cool to die. Although I did almost blow myself up with rune magic earlier. You were completely right, by the by. Speaking of such things, I tampered with a golem core and accidentally made a homunculus. She's Athena, my daughter. I'd like you to meet her properly, once Meliora takes care of the whole... odor issue.”

Jennifer looks at you for a moment.

“If you were forty and lonely like Fenright then I'd completely understand.”

She sighs and closes her eyes, smiling softly.

“Well, it looks as though I've got my work cut out for me then. I don't think I can trust you to take care of a child on your own after all.”

You shrug slightly and smile.

“I could handle it. But I will need a sitter for her. I think we'll need an extra set of hands though, since that job I was trying to get for you is opening up. Angie pulled some strings for us to get it all squared away. You'll probably have to interview for it anyway though.”

Jennifer perks up a bit.
>>
“Interesting. Alright then. I suppose, while you make up your mind, I could use the extra protection. I'll have to iron my suits though, I'd like to make a good impression.”

She slowly gets to her feet.

“I was hoping that you'd come back alone so that I could try to flirt a little bit, but I think I'd better get changed so that I can play mom for a little while. You probably have homework and the like to do, yes?”

>>44775658
The single greatest thing that might prevent that from happening, ironically, is the people like you that can't stop thinking about it and have a normal fucking interaction with her.
>>
>>44775683
Nah, it'll be fine. The only complications come from her grumpy fish hree and messed up dad. We'll help them when we can but right now we need to strengthen our bond with someone who has Sammies side of the curse. Gonna use that rune magic . Also Jenny is ready to go and only a loser nerd let's that shit slide.

On the one hand, first to three is the rule, meaning this would win.

On the other hand, massive mixed signals, and that phrasing would be majorly out of character for him. The intent behind it though? Not so much.

I leave for ten seconds and anons are grabbing their dicks at the thought of Oliver's GIRLFRIEND'S MOTHER
WHY!?
Fucks... fucks sake...
>>
>>44775921
Her fans killed my ability to enjoy anything her character does or could do a while ago.
>>
It astounds me that this thread is so negative against getting Jennifer. Our patron demon is all about that stuff.
>>
>>44775921
Anon, you should accept that Oliver's always shown mixed signals to both of them, and anons voted to finally decide. Her willingness to help with Athena was the deciding factor for me.
>>
>>44775962
I don't think he's shown mixed signals with Sammy. It's always been waifushit there.
>>
>>44775947
There's one anon who wiuld rather Oliver be a serial killer than just break up couples, remember.
>>
>>44775921
Yeah. I'm sorry, anon. I, too, wish we weren't playing this quest with a bunch of horn dogs.

It would be nice if people actually thought about the consequences of their actions. But, I guess we're just along for the ride. Mob rule kind of sucks.
>>
Sammie ditched us. Jennifer is literally rolling on our bed in underwear. Also We can simply just make our own monster pack. It's gonna be awwwwright.
>>
>>44776004
Oh the sex will be great, I'm sure.

It's the morning after I'm worried about.
>>
>>44776004
Also Jennifer knows of, and accepts the shit we have to do for our demon. We did tell her absolutely everything.
>>
Going for Intent without action is just blue balling her and that's cruel.
>>
You rise to your feet and shrug.

“I was actually going to have Meliora watch her for a little while so they can bond. I wouldn't be particularly opposed to some flirting though, as long as you know where we stand right now.”

Jennifer nods and kisses you on the cheek.

“I'm fine with just being close to you.”

You smile and head for the door.

“Meliora, how's the suit coming?”

You open it a crack and peek outside. Meliora is sitting beside Athena on the floor, adjusting and resizing portions of the fabric and integrating various little contraptions.

“Close to done, but it'll take me a little while to iron out the kinks, and I'm gonna see if she can power it herself or not. It'll make it a lot lighter, and I might be able to make it more compact that way.”

You nod and glance back to Jennifer, looking at her before turning back to Meliora.

“Mind watching Athena for a little while then? Jennifer is gonna be cooped up in here until the suit is finished. I'm gonna head out with her for a bite or something.”

Meliora nods, and Athena looks over at you.

“Daddy leaving?”

You hesitate briefly.

“Only for a little bit, and I want you to get to know your sister better. I'll only be a phone call away, I promise.”

Athena nods and smiles at you.

“Promise.”

She nods again, and Jennifer walks past you into the room pinching her nose. She grabs her suitcase and heads into the bathroom before gently nudging you out and closing the door.

“Give me a few minutes.”

You sit on the couch and try to figure out just what you're thinking. Your hormones tell you to go for it because she's available, physically and emotionally, but at the same time you don't know how much of your rationalizations are founded on logic and how much is just your dick doing all the thinking.
>>
>>44775962
It's actually a pretty terrible decision, since only three out of however many voted for it. The relationship is pretty inevitably going to end in tears since not only do they still not want her, but they might actively hate her.

Why? Just leave. It's not like anyone's forcing you to be here, and once this waifu-drama is finished we can get on with the actual quest.
>>
>>44776124
One for just going for it, two for finding a romantic spot first. I choose to believe in vain that I won't have to start trying to completely remove Jennifer from our interactions.

Honestly I'm not voting jen for the lewds, having her ours is an investment in our magical future and really it's time we showed her that were serious. Puritan fags chill.
>>
>>44776124
Dammit... was I too slow?

I hate this, but I guess I failed to be the voice of reason here.

Oh well. Hopefully we will burn some bridges with this and force Oliver to take a good long look at himself. Making horrible mistakes like this may spur his growth.

>>44776159
Seriously? Just let it go. QM wrote this out a month ago, he's not going to spend all night writing lewds, and once this is resolved we can timewarp a bit more.

Jennifer walks out of the bathroom wearing a blue dress and heels and walks over to you, her purse slung over her shoulder.

“Ready when you are.”

You nod a bit and get to your feet, heading for the door. Athena waves at you, and you give her a wave and a smile as you walk out with Jennifer. You honestly have no idea where to go from here though. You need somewhere private, somewhere that no one will go to. You're still full of doubts about this whole thing though. Maybe you'll figure it out as you walk to... wherever you're heading.

You fidget a little bit and Jennifer frowns.

“Is something wrong?”

You shake your head.

“No. Not presently, at least. I'm getting way ahead of myself here, and in the back of my mind I know that if we head off somewhere, something is going to happen. And I might regret it. And I don't want to regret it. I want to do the thing, but I don't want to feel bad about it after.”

Jennifer nods and rests a hand on your shoulder.

“I said we'd flirt, and that's all I had in mind. If things lead somewhere then so be it. But I'm not going to pressure you into anything. It's the same as it's always been. I want to be yours and be close to you, but I'm not going to force things or demand it of you. I'll do what I need to do in order to get by, and be patient.”

You nod slightly. It feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

“Then... how about dinner? I could use a bite, and I did say that I wouldn't mind some flirting.”

Jennifer smirks at you.

“You seem like you're just putting on a brave face at this point. Do what you really want to do.”

You must be imagining some fucked up mother son relationships, anon. Jennifer gave us a blow job last week.

He's lived a sad life.
>>
>>44776529
>Flirting with Toriel after calling her "Mom"
>>
>>44776499
Boss, you ignored the other component there. No one but that one anon wanted lewds right now. The others just wanted to get closer to Jen. It would have been a fair compromise.

>>44775854
>>44775909
>>
>>44776499
Ok, I'm ok with this. I wish Jennifer would realize that we are just a kid, and that us mating with her won't solve all her problems. Having this sort on conversation with her is a step in the right direction.

You sigh softly and smile.

“Dinner. Let's grab a bite and just relax.”

Jennifer nods and takes your arm.

“Alright then, that sounds nice. Here? Or somewhere in town?”

>Cafeteria food, head for the roof
>Head into town, nothing can go wrong
>Other (write-in)
>>
>>44776557
Yeah which is why it's sad. She IS the closest thing to a mom he's ever known. It's fucked up yes, but his real mom doesn't count and she is the first mature woman he's had a relationship with. She's his teacher, confidant and friend. Not saying it's right, but that's what it is.


>>44776592
Oliver is fucked up.
>>
>>44776571
This.
Oliver's had, like, 0 parental input or oversight. He was born, his dad dragged him around the fucking country for years, he never had time to make friends or had a mother figure, he steals, and he's, maybe, killed his only family after being on his own for a while.
>>44776592
QM continues to win at all things.
>>
>>44776571
In that light, Mel's far more of a maternal figure.

I will never be able to see cafeteria food with an older woman romantically.
>>
>>44776630
Not really, Oliver can't really talk to Mel or confide in her, and she lacks the emotional maturity he needs when he's freaking out. Jennifer has those and has displayed them.


>>44776654
Indeed it does.
>>
>>44776621
>he's his teacher, confidant and friend
and his lover. That is an established fact. That's not a maternal figure anon, that's a healthy relationship. If you don't see that, you've got a long way to go.
>>
>>44776701
Dude she is STILL the closest thing to a Mom he's ever known, regardless.
>>
>>44776686
Do you not remember? This is an expensive private school. We're talking 3 star lunches.
>>
>>44776695
Jennifer really has the potential to be our closest ally.

But man, I wish wed stop trying to fuck her. She needs a boyfriend closers to her own age.
>>
>>44776733
It just seems so inherently wrong to me.
>>
>>44776729
But why would he look at her like that? His mom was a monster he spent 3 months hunting & killed.
He doesn't have a normal view of family.

>>44776752
Werewolf. Doesn't age at human rates. Is still a virgin, physically.
>>
>>44776752
Fenright, or Dad when we ress him provided Mom is still in full Vamp bitch mode, are the only two options that come to mind.
>>
>>44776752
Thiiiiiis
>>44776701
She's about the only authority figure in his life at the moment, besides Angie who is literally the wrath of god
>>
>>44776620
>Head into town, nothing can go wrong

My dear anons, were i can see more on
>>
>>44776790
Exactly. The relationship he has with Jennifer is closer to a proper maternal relationship than what he had with his own actual mother. For all the fucked up thoughts it implies, it's true.
>>
>>44776790
>He doesn't have a normal view of family.
He knows what a family SHOULD act and look like, and she has been the closest thing to a mom in his life. It's tragic, but still accurate.
>>
>>44776790
>Doesn't age at human rates.
I don't think anything along those lines has been said.

>Is still a virgin, physically.
No hymen.
>>
“Considering the fact that town is dangerous and slowly sucking my wallet dry, here would be better. Meet me up on the roof, the same spot as last time?”

Jennifer nods and pecks you on the lips before walking off. You head for the cafeteria and try to calm yourself down a bit as you pick out some stuff from the buffet. There's steak again tonight, as well as seafood, and you assemble a little surf and turf combo on your tray, cutting the steak into strips for easy snacking. When you're satisfied with the result you head for the roof with a couple of drink in tow, and find Jennifer sitting by the edge, taking in the view of the setting sun.

“It's funny. I've seen the sun set in Italy, from the top of a mountain and through a stained glass window at a cathedral, but there's something about the way it looks tonight that I really like. I just can't seem to put my finger on it.”

You sit down beside her and set the tray between you, eating slowly and offering her a drink. You spend a little while just eating and enjoying the scenery. Before you realize it the food is all gone, and there's nothing but silence hanging over you both.

He has no reason NOT to. Stop thinking with your dick and face the facts.

Jennifer is the closest thing he has to a mother, and he's insightful enough to realize this. His attraction to her can even be spun as an Oedipus complex with literally no effort.
>>
>>44776829
>>Strike up a conversation.
We need a little fucking guidance on holy shit what the fuck is my fucking life also DRACULA
>>
>>44776876
Did we ever actually tell her about getting pushed off a roof by a blood-pacted assassin that was forced to kill themselves with poison upon capture?
>>
>>44776876
this is reasonable. "Muh mommy" is a stupid reason, but REAL LIFE is good.>>44776829
>>
>>44776833
>But he has no reason to view it that way. That's your own cable-tv view of what's right


Actually he really does, he's noted it himself in other threads.
>>
>>44776867
>Stop thinking with your dick
I'm not, I argued against doing anything but romancing a bit. Shit's still complicated.

>>44776920
He's also noted (more recently) that he's romantically attracted to her, so stop cherry picking.
>>
You lean back a bit.

“So... I have some updates on my life, if you wanna hear about them.”

Jennifer nods slightly.

“Besides Athena, I take it?”

You chuckle a bit.

“I had a visit from a weird butler who gave me an invitation to Dracula's Christmas party.”

Jennifer looks at you for a moment.

“You as well then?”

You blink and turn towards her.

“What do you mean?”

Jennifer reaches into her purse and pulls out a black envelope.

“I was actually going to ask you to go with me as my 'plus one', if you were interested. I don't plan on going alone.”

>Sure, sounds good. I'll need to get some spats.
>What. How did you end up with one?

There's no reason to assume that we're the ONLY wild card.
>>
>>44776957
Dude he never called her mom, but he realizes she is the closest thing he's ever had to one. Which is why it's sad. Also incest is a thing, whether literal or mental.

>>44776975
>>What. How did you end up with one?

Butler visit you too? Batgram what?


Uh guys we should check with Meliora, Tobias, Catherine and Sammy make sure they DON'T have invites too. I got a baaaaaaaaaad feeling.
>>
>>44776957
Yes. Which makes the entire thing FUCKED UP

Which is what we're saying.

And Oliver also would not jump at the chance to fuck her like some people assume. There is ALOT wrong with fucking her, and even romantic attraction can't quite beat "She's pretty much my mom."

>>44776975
>I actually have my own. I was thinking of bringing Sammy, if you weren't available.
>>
>>44777020
>Also incest is a thing, whether literal or mental.
That's weak sauce, from my view. He's NOT related to her, if anything he has a responsibility over her, not the other way.

>>44777029
>even romantic attraction can't quite beat "She's pretty much my mom."
I disagree, especially since no one else has shown much romantic interest. And before you say it, Sammy's been super passive and just sorta gone along with whatever the whole time. That's not showing interest.
>>
>>44777029
>bringing Sammy
The weakest person we know
To the most dangerous event of the year.

That seems smart, anon.
>>
>>44777029
Didn't we already invited Angie as our +1?
>>
>>44777120
What about Andrea? Would her connection to "living" magic be useful against Dracula?
>>
>>44777029
>>44777120
Before we could even think to bring we'd need to either Train her like we were trained, or fix/remove her curse. That being said Jennifer isn't that strong compared too high end vamps either.
>>
>>44777161
She's busy with work on that day.
>>
>>44777161
No, angie said she'd be busy.

>>44777163
Might work...if Andrea's magic works in completely separate dimensions.


I think if we can get her trained in time, we should bring Athena, she has the potential to be stronger than Mel, after all.
>>
>>44777186
Oh yeah! Forgot about that.
>>
>>44777178
We really don't know how strong Jen is when wolfed out, we've never seen her do more than partially shift.
>>
You look at the envelope for a moment.

“Um. How did you get one of those? Did the butler visit you too or something?”

Jennifer nods and frowns.

“I was taking a shower earlier and when I reached for the soap I grabbed a note instead, and when I turned around he was standing behind me. He just stood there holding the soap and the envelope and told me about the party before leaving.”

You nod slightly and try to come up with a good reason to invite Jennifer. She's part of the Wolfe clan, a manipulator who knows her way around the local social scene to an extent, she's close to you and you're supposedly the wild card, or maybe there's something else that you're missing.

“Well, I guess that means that I need to reconsider this whole 'not going to Dracula's party' thing. I was thinking I just wouldn't go to mess with him, but I don't know who else got invited, or whether or not it would be an insult to not go.”

Jennifer moves the tray and scoots a bit closer to you.

“An invitation like this is a game. If it's really Dracula, he's powerful enough to just will everyone to sit at his table while he does what he likes. It's not about getting you to the party. It's about seeing what you do, whether or not you'll play his game or spoil his fun.”

You nod slightly and draw a slow breath. You really hate vampire mind games, and you can't wait until you can spin a few solid plans of your own to mess with other people. You look at Jennifer for a moment.

>Ask about something else
>Make a move
>Let's head back to the room
>Other (write-in)
>>
>>44777236
Though, admittedly, she's timid. She shouldn't go period, i think. But if she has to go, she should take Mel as her +1.
>>
>>44777093
She's said herself that the only reason she was interested in us in the first place was because we WEREN'T interested in her. Being the prize female in a clan that is mostly animal instinct lead to her getting so much attention she's grown sick of it. Her attraction to us is based entirely on the fact we didn't give her everything we wanted right away, and even took from her.

We're her fetish, and werewolves are not known for self control. Of course she wants to fuck us. Sammy has a hero fetish, a thing for white knights on shining steeds, and when we were just that we were her fetish.

Werewolves in general make awful waifus, vampires are inherently untrustworthy, Meliora is unwilling and/or incapable of properly feeling love for someone else, Angie sees us as a potentially interesting fling if anything at all, and Andrea's a lesbian. NONE of the waifus are attracted to who we are as people. Jennifer will leave us behind the moment we start truly relying on her to support us, instead of the other way around.

Monsters are selfish, inhuman creatures. Oliver won't be happy with them.
>>
>>44777203
Athena could also be the reason Draculas want us there so je could use her as a new 'body'.
>>
>>44777258
>Let's head back to the room
We've been away from Athena long enough, and daughteru is priority #1
>>
>>44777258
>Let's head back to the room
>>
Possible +1s

Sammy - IF we train her or fix her curse she's competitive, otherwise dead weight.
Jennifer- Decent werewolf but not a fighter by nature.
Meliora- good choice for fighting, however unless we help her out a lot she's SHIT at socialization. Also might be magic hacked.
Andrea - a possible choice, but her social is bleh and her magic is wild shot at best.
Catherine - Unless water is involved not a great idea, also wallflower.
Athena - a maybe until we get a better feel for her abilities.

>>44777258
>Ask about something else
Tell her about her daughter's ultimatum on the night of her party.
>>
>>44777270
We could always use blood magic to become the girl and go for Andrea
>>
>>44777258
>Let's head back to the room
>>
>>44777324
An option, certainly.
>>
>>44777258
>Let's head back to the room
>>44777289
Read the post thread notes from last thread again anon. Souls cant transfer. And she didn't exist when drac gave the invite. QM didn't know we were going to do that, and we risked final death to make her.
>>
>>44777315
I would rather not bring his child made of blood and magic and SCIENCE to Dracula
>>
>>44777258
Head back to the room.

We've had a long day. Almost died, became a father, almost died again.

Time to wrap things up and prepare for tomorrow.
>>
>>44777365
Same honestly, I was just listing options.

On another note we really need to introduce Athena to her living grandpa(Fenright). He'll be so proud of Meliora.
>>
>>44777365
>>44777289
Athena is a godless abomination, literally NO ONE knew we were capable of making her until we did.
Ergo, that couldn't have been the plan when we were invited.

And I say it depends on how powerful we can make her.
>>
>>44777315
Why not bring Angie?
>>
Sleuth roll plus Perception, +2

>>44777430
For a reason already stated several times, such as the post where she said she couldn't come and ten minutes ago.
>>
>>44777403
I dunno. He was trying to make something like her when he made Mel. He might try to take her apart to see what makes her tick.

Our daughter is not going to become a test subject.

“Let's head back to the room. This was nice, but...”

Jennifer nods.

“You're right. One thing at a time.”

She stands and stretches briefly before heading for the door.

“It's nice to know that you're keeping yourself out of trouble though.”

She walks off right as you're about to ask what she means, and you sigh and get to your feet, finishing your drink and hustling after her. You catch up with her in the hall and stop short of offering her your arm when you notice Sammy and Andrea down the hall, cutting across to somewhere else. You have maybe three seconds to react, if that.

this is okay, totally fine, just spending time with a friend. Sammy does it with a girl who explicitely likes her all the time, 0 jealousy from us.
>>
>>44777403
After or before he kills us?
>>
>>44777585
I am enjoying it, I just had a screaming match with my mom. Sorry, need to purge myself of salt.

Not really, she was just throwing a fit.
>>
>>44777656

>>44777661
This is true. We aren't on good terms right now.

Anger is great, but the place for it is taking it out on those who angered you, not nameless fools online. I was a 19D in the army for years, I know how much fun anger is.
>>
You wave at them both and smile.

“Sammy! Andrea!”

Sammy smiles and waves at you, though her waving stops short the instant she sees who's beside you. Andrea whistles and waves, walking over and grinning.

“Hey there, how's it going?”

She turns to Jennifer and bows dramatically with a smirk.

“Mrs. Wolfe.”

Jennifer rolls her eyes, looking down her nose at Andrea.

“Andy.”

She smirks a bit and they both chuckle softly. Sammy walks over slowly, looking particularly uncomfortable, made more apparent by her failed attempt to conceal her discomfort.

“Hi there, both of you. How are you guys doing tonight?”

>>44777864
I don't care. Athena is more important than Sammy. If she doesn't like it she can walk out again.

“I'm doing alright. We're heading to my room, would you guys like to meet someone? Her name is Athena, and she's technically my daughter.”

Sammy's eyes go wide, and she just stares at you for a few moments. Andrea shrugs.

“Could be fun, sure. I'm game. Sammy?”

Sammy stammers briefly.

“I... sure. I just... how did...”

You shrug slightly.

“Golem core things happened.”

Jennifer nods.

“She's quite cute though. She takes after her father quite a bit.”

You lead the group towards your room and open the room. The room is a bit of a mess, both mattresses are bare and there's a couch fort in front of the TV. Athena pokes her head out from under a blanket and waves at you.

“Hi Daddy! Hi ladies!”

Meliora sticks her head out beside Athena.

“In my defense, she started it.”

She looks at the people beside you and retreats back under the blanket.

You look at the fort for a moment and smile.

“That's just asking to be stormed.”

You rush forward and leap at the fort, flipping over the couch and tumbling over the other side onto a pile of pillows with a smile. As part of the fort comes down you hear Athena laugh, and she jumps on you, covering you with a blanket in the process. She squirms around a bit, scooting under the blanket and hugging you tightly.

“Silly Daddy.”

You pat her on the head and look over at the others. Jennifer looks amused, Sammy is still in shock and Andrea is laughing.

“Room for one more?”

She kicks off her shoes and jumps onto the couch, flopping beside you and grinning.

“Hey there, little missy. My name is Andrea. What's yours?”

Athena looks at her warily for a moment before leaping at her, straddling her stomach.

“I am Athena, and you are conquered!”

Andrea starts to tickle her.

“Not yet I'm not!”

Jennifer walks over to your bed and sits down, chuckling quietly.

Anon First impressions are not the end all be all. Otherwise we'd still hate Jennifer and think Sammy is perfect. I BET there is shit we don't know that's jank with her, like with all the girls.
>>
>>44778399
We would smug so much she would become bi.
>>
>>44778432
I betcha her drama is all tied up with her being a dryad-thing(tech a monster), and her not-dad being Van Helsing. So we may still deal with all that.

>>44778464
Bet it'll be a lot complicated that that. So far none of the girl's issues have been easy.
>>
>>44778434
Depending on how we roll/how QM feels, might not be permanently out of the cards. Would definitely have to be besties first though.

She just hasn't experienced the d yet.

>>44778477
Probably. That's probably part of the core, though.
