"Let's get to the guild then" You say. "I'll meet up with Hella, go see the Queen, and we can go"

"Yeah... Even camping in the woods seems preferable to staying the night here" Derrick says.

You look into the window of another house, as a young boy quickly closes the curtains.

"They seem scared" You say.
"You would be too, if you were them" Derrick says. "Last time I heard anything out of here, the Inquisition practically ran the place... it doesn't look like it's gotten any better"

"I thought this place was built on a gold mine" Emi says.
"Gold ran out... 2... maybe 3 years ago?" Derrick says. "The town's been holding on since then, but not very well as you can see"

"Yikes" Ilica says.
"Yeah" Derrick says. "Keep your wallet close, and try not to get separated... crime's been a bit of a problem"

"Kay" You say.

"Guild's up here. Make it quick" Derrick says.

>[1/2]

The cart stops in front of the guild hall. Even this place looks worse for wear, like people have been throwing stuff at it.

Broken glass litters the ground outside, making you glad that you're wearing boots. Over one of the windows, there's something written in what looks like red paint.

You don't feel like stopping to read it, so you shuffle over the glass and into the guild.

There's no bell over the door like the one the other guilds had, and the welcome is a lot less friendly. Unlike Sherton or Contique, the hunters here seem just as leery as the people.

"You got business?" A gruff voice asks you. It belongs to a grizzled looking hunter in worn leather armor, with a well-used greatsword on his back.

"Y-yeah" You reply, your voice shrinking under the stares. "I'm here to see... Hella"

A pair of ears perk up from behind the front desk, then the rabbit they belong to stands up. Then she mumbles something.

...

Something that you don't hear.

"What was that?" You ask.
The rabbit suddenly looks nervous. "Uhh... S-sorry! I know I can mumble sometimes!" She says in a squeaky tone.

If you weren't mistaken, you'd say she's just as scared of you as you are of these hunters...

"Hella?" You ask.

The rabbit stands straight as a board, with a look of pure shock. "Y-yes?" She asks.

You wait a few seconds, unsure of whether to continue or to slowly back up and leave the guild.

"I'm Yuu" You say.
Hella blinks a few times. "Me?" She asks.
"No, Yuu" You say.

"Not me... You... Oh, Yuu!" She says. "Stella's friend!"
"Yes" You say.

Hella starts shifting papers around on her desk, looking for something.

"She says hello" You say.

She ignores you, and picks up a page. You see her eyes scanning it down. Is she reading it? If she is, then she's much faster than you.

"Ah yes, you wanted to see Tian's show?" Hella asks.
"Is Tian the Monkey Queen?" You ask
"Yes" She says.
"Then yes" You reply
"That might be a problem..." Hella says.
"Why?" You ask.
"Tian hasn't done her show in weeks... she's thinking of leaving this town" Hella says. "Y'know..."

"'cause it's a shithole?" One of the hunters says. "Guild's thinkin' of moving out of here too, 'fore the Quizzers get too cocky"

"Oh..." You say.
"Well... there you have it" Hella says. "Sorry to disappoint you"

>Can I still meet her?

"Can I still meet her?" You ask.
"Uhh... maybe?" Hella asks. "Is the cart outside yours?"
"Yes" You say.

"Then maybe..." She says. "Let me send her a message and see what she says"
"Okay" You say. "Will that take long?"

"It shouldn't. Tian is pretty quick to reply" Hella says, as she pulls out a pen and paper. "Harwick, do you mind grabbing me a sprite?"
"There's one right in front of you" The grizzled hunter says.

Hella looks around on her desk, until something catches her eye. "Huh... How long have you been there?" She asks, as she picks up a jar from her desk and pops the lid off.

A little light flies out of the jar and does laps around Hella's head as she finishes her letter...

>>46760612
>Get a closer look at the light

>Ask what Tian is like

My guess is that the vandalism is due to citizens who're pissed that the guild isn't doing anything/packing up n' abandoning them. It's also very possible that it was done by the inquisitors, themselves.

>>46760612
>>Get a closer look at the light

>"Is the cart outside yours?"
>"Yes" You say.

>"Then maybe..."

Alright, who else thinks that we're the ones that Tian's hitchin' a ride with?

>writing

You walk over to the desk to get a closer look at the little light. It looks almost... human shaped.

To your surprise, it stops and turns to you. It has a pair of little beady eyes, and its entire body glows blue

"Hiiii~" It says with an enthusiastic wave.

You flinch away from it. "Did it just-"
"Speak?" Hella asks. "Yes she did. Celty is an older sprite, so she's been around long enough to pick up a few things"

The sprite goes back to flying circles around Hella's head, as she finishes off her message. Then Hella folds up the little paper, and hods up a hand for 'Celty' to land on. She then gives the sprite the paper, and tells her who to take it to.

With the paper in hand Celty stands at attention and salutes "Aye aye!" She says, before zipping up into the air and into a hole up high on the wall.

"Neat" You say. "Can all sprites talk?"
"Just the older ones" Hella says. "You make them out of mana, and they usually don't last very long... but Celty doesn't seem to want to quit"

"Why don't they last long?" You ask.

"We don't know" She says. "Like every living thing... eventually they die"
"Oh..." You say. "I guess you're right"

"But that's alright" She says. "They're happy as can be for as long as they're alive. We feed them with mana, and sometimes nuts and berrys"
"Could I make a sprite?" You ask.

"If your tried" She says. "It's not an easy process, but if you got your hands on a sprite mold then I'd say give it a shot"
"Sprite mold?" You ask.
Hella laughs nervously and scratches her head, something that you remember Stella doing as well... "I'd offer to show you ours, but we've already sent it over to Headquarters" She says.

"Aww..." You say. "Have you been sending a lot to headquarters?"
"Pretty much everything" The grizzled hunter says. "Nothing's been made official, but we're pretty much certain about moving from here unless somebody can kick the Quizzers out"

"Quizzers... the inquisition?" You ask.
"Yep" The hunter says. "Usually the Guild polices itself. When a Hunter commits a crime, the Hunters deal with it. But these buggers... it's like the crest means nothing to them"

"Is it that bad?" You ask.
"They've been stopping our members in the streets, and trying to edge their way in here as well" The hunter says. "You ever had a run in with them?"

>Yes

"Yes" You say. "One of them threw a rock at my head"

Hella looks concerned. "Why would they do that?" She asks.
"I dunno" You say.

Well... you do know. But you aren't about to tell them the real reason...

"But it hurt" You finish.

"People've been hurt worse by the quizzers, kid" The hunter says.
"I've seen" You say. "One of my friends was in mortifas"
"Who?" Hella asks
"Fran. You might know about her. Her husband is a hunter" You say.

"Yeah... heard about her. Damn shame" The hunter says.
You're not sure what he means by that, but you don't bother with it. "You can't fight them?" You ask.

"Honestly? If the order came down from the top, we'd be on them in minutes" He says. "But the guild gets to govern itself by the graces of the lands it runs in... so we abide their laws"

"Even if their laws are stupid?" You ask.
"Even if they're stupid" He says. "Our job is to hunt monsters, not stir the pot"
"Stir the pot?" You ask. "What does..."

"Stir things up. Start a rebellion... like the king's sister" He says. "No surprise that she's gotten so much support, given how mad everyone is. More people flock to Locke every day, and most of 'em try to pass through here"

"Is that bad?" You ask.
"Well... I'd say that you should expect a much more thorough check over when you leave" Hella says. "They don't care who comes in, but they assume that anyone who leaves is going west to Locke..."
"Oh..." You say.

>Did something happen to Fran?

"Hang on, did something happen to Fran?" You ask. "Last time I saw her, she was fine"
"She got thrown into mortifas" The hunter says.

"Oh" You say. "I thought it was something recent"

The hunter gives you an odd look, as you turn back to Hella.

"Do you guys have any mageblade emitters?" You ask. "I've recently been informed that they're important"
"Tian will have some extras, if you need them" She says.
"Cool" You say.
"She'll probably charge you for them" She says.
"That's... probably fine"

"Hold on. Do you know something I don't?" The hunter asks.
"About what?" You ask.

"Nobody gets out of Mortifas" He says. "Why were you relieved when I said that's all that happened to her... she's dead, isn't she?"

>Don't worry about it

"No" You say. "We escaped"

...

You slap your hand over your mouth. "I mean... uhh... she escaped" You say. "I had nothing to do with it"
The hunter chuckles. "Relax, kid. Nobody is turning you over" He says. "But how in the hell did you manage to get past the chaos engine. Word is they fire it at whoever makes it out the front door"

"I fired it back" You say.
"How?" He asks.
"Because I'm special" You say.

"Being special lets you survive a blast from a chaos engine?" He asks.
"No. Being special lets you shoot it back" You say.
"Well, here's hoping that you make it to Locke... if that's where you're going" He says.
"Why?" You ask.

"Word is that the lady herself has been looking for a way to get past the prisons defense for a long while now" He says. "And you could very well be the one to do it..."

"She wants to break into that place?" You ask.
"She wants to break it down" He says. "Cut anyone who's still alive inside loose and demolish the thing. But, the chaos engine is just as good at keeping people out as it is at keeping people in"

"Unless you have a chaotic..." You say.
"Well, my lips are sealed" He says. "And everybody else's damn well better be too!"
"Aye!" The other hunters say.

As the hunters agree to keep your secret, Celty flies back in through her hole. She has another piece of paper, which she sets down on Hella's desk.

Hella pats the sprite on the head, and gives her a berry before reading the page.

"Looks like Tian is interested in meeting you" Hella says. "Shall we leave now?"

>Anything else?

>>46762862
Forward.

>>46762862

>>46762915

"Yeah, thanks for- wait... we?" You ask.
"Yes" Hella says. "Unless you know the way to Tian's house... the routes to avoid, the places the inquisitors frequent..."

You nod. "We. Gotcha" You say. "Ready?"
"Yes, just let me..." She says, as she hops out from behind her desk.

Funny, she seems a lot shorter now. Her head just comes up to about chest height on you, and her ears end at eye level... but it didn't seem that way earlier.

Does she have a stool behind that desk or something?

Stella was right, though. Hella is pretty short. She looks like a shorter, thicker version of Stella, with bigger bazongas.

...

You still don't think that's what those are called, but it's still fun to say.

Heh... bazongas.

"Shall we?" Hella asks.
You shake yourself out of that train of thought. "Yes!" You say. "Let's go"

>[1/2]

>>46763206
>a shorter, thicker version of Stella, with bigger bazongas.
HELLA CONFIRMED TO HAVE A FATTER ASS THAN STELLA.

>>46763240
Short stack bunny a best

>>46763206
Shortstack is fine, but tall is always better.

>>46763240
That makes me think: what are Stells's proportions? I mean, we know she's got booty (presumably hips, as well), but what about the rest of her?

You thank the hunters on the way out, for keeping your jailbreak a secret, and for doing their jobs even with all the hate they seem to be getting.

They tell you not to worry about it. They even tell you not to be afraid to come to any guild if you need help.

Being friends with the hunters really does seem helpful.

When you and Hella get out of the guild, you see the cart still where you left it.

"All done in there?" Derrick asks. You notice that he has his hand on his sword handle.
"Yeah" You say.

"Is she coming with us?" Ilica asks.
"Yes" You say. "She knows the way through town"
"Suuuuuure" Ilica says. Then you hear her mumbling something about a thing for rabbits...

...

Probably not important.

You help Hella into the cart, as she has trouble with it due to her height. And then Derrick gets it moving.

Stella is at a comfortable midpoint. Picture the shortstack, and a girl who's tall and lanky.

Stella fits right between those two, proportion-wise. As she said: just right.

>>46763747
Straight from the QM: Stella is best bunny.

"Did anything happen while I was inside?" You ask, after Hella's finished giving Derrick the first set of directions. Lots of turns and less direct paths.

"It was quiet" Derrick says. "Too quiet. I don't think I've ever been in a town as quiet as this place"
"Yeah. It's like they arrest people for making noise" Ilica says. "Even I didn't hear much"

"That's not too far off the mark..." Hella says. "I think they have taken someone in for yelling too much"
"Whoa, seriously?" Ilica asks.
Hella nods. "They said that 'his anger would make him a blood demon'..." She says.
"God... with justification like that, it's a wonder anyone is left" Derrick says.

Hella looks kind of nervous, and the cart gets quiet.

Not a nice, comfortable quiet though. A tense kind of quiet that just makes you want to... say... something. Anything.

"Did Stella say anything else about me?"

Like that. You feel like you maybe should've not said that, but now it's out there.

"Probably told her aaaaall about how many little Yuu-bunnies she wants to make" Ilica says in a mock-romantic tone.

"H-how did you know about that?!?" Hella squeaks.

...

"Seriously?" Ilica asks. "I was just kidding! I didn't think she'd actually-"
"So was I" Hella says, with a cheeky smile perched on her face.

Ilica does not look pleased. "Yuu, remember what I said about skinning critters?" She asks.
"I think so..." You say.
"You may wanna look away" She says.
"C-calm down Ilica..." Emi says.

Hella then turns to Derrick, looking very pleased with herself. "Take this next left" She says.

>[1/2]

... So many new chaotics, in the world...

We have chosen well.

>>46763930
I like you Hella. I'll go over and fuck your sister.

The cart eventually pulls up to a house. It stands out, because it actually looks like it's been well kept.

Well, aside from the cobwebs that is. But even that can be overlooked.

"This is the place" Hella says.
"Should we wait out here?" Emi asks.
"No, you guys should be able to come inside" She says. "I wouldn't worry about the car. Nobody in this area has the kind of skills needed to steal one"

"O-... okay" Derrick says.

The five of you all pile out of the cart. Hella hops out without your help, causing her chest to bounce. It's an interesting sight.

...

You aren't sure why it's interesting, but you're interested.

Once you're all out, Hella goes up and knocks on the door.

...

And then she knocks again.

...

"Weird, I know she's home" Hella says.
"Is she expecting us?" Derrick asks.
"Yeah, we sent her a message" Hella says.
"Should we just go in?" Derrick asks.

>Yes

"Is this bad?" You ask.
Hella sighs. "This is kind of normal... actually" She says.

"So what are we waiting for?" You ask.

You turn the knob, and find that it's unlocked.

"Hey, Yuu! Don't just barge in!" Ilica says.

You take 2 steps in and stop. There's some sort of weird thread here...

No... it's not a thread. It looks like silk. You look down and see that it's all over the floor too.

And you're stepping in it.

You look back to the others and smile. "Help" You say, as your feet get whipped out from under you, and you get carried up into the air.

The ceilings here are surprisingly high, and it's also quite dark up here. In the dark you can make out a strange form... too many legs to be anything you've seen, with 8 yellow eyes that shimmer in the little light that they catch.

"Hello little one" The creature says. The voice is smooth and feminine. "What's a tasty little morsel like you doing in my web?"

...

Uh oh.
