You look at the your 3P alarm clock. It's currently 4:20. You must have woken up a little early. Now that... I guess you could keep calling him Blorby... has reached full sentience the voices aren't so invasive. They are like pleasant white noise.

You decide to head downstairs and do some research and grab a bite to eat while you wait for Yuri to wake up.

You munch on a toaster strudel as you look up the great devourer on the family PC. You begin to think that was more of a bit of grandeur and showmanship vs. being an actual title as the only search results are various metal bands with equally extra names. Efluevium of Sorrow being your favorite of all the crazy names.

You also do some research on snakes and spiders in your area. You actually discover there is actually a rare spider that can be found in the Haverford woods. The Gargantuan Wing Weaver is a massive spider, about the size of a dog, that hunts among the trees and eats birds as a main source of prey. This horrifies you.

>>3707708

You look up local psychics. All you find is a boogle maps that gives directions to a Tarot parlor in the shopping plaza in town. You also find a scientific paper about the science of espers. Its all in sciency gobblydegook. If only you knew a scientist to put it in laymans terms for you.

With a few minutes left before your alarm goes off and wakes up Yuri you decide to mess with your bestie by teasing her.

As the alarm goes off she blearly sits up in her bag.

She looks down at the teddy and blushes furiously.

"Shut up. Im not cute im resplendent."

I'm not opposed to doing our assignment again (or perhaps just revising it). I'm worried calling Ocuul and Manno a ton of insults might jeopardize our [ADORABLE]. Although I wouldn't mind still portraying Dentata sympathetically.

I came up with a bunch of interesting organisms (most or all of which have the phrase 'grocery list' in the post) but I don't remember the players coming up with a consensus on what we should eat. But I posted that after OP concluded the quest

Our google search told us about a interesting spider in the nearby forest (dog sized. hunts birds). And IIRC Blorby recommended fish for water breathing.

I don't know what day of the week it is, but it isn't the weekend. Our teacher said we have to bring our homework in "tomorrow" and everyone in class presents their assignment then (or maybe it's a group discussion, I'm not really sure).

You ask Yuri if she would consider taking martial arts or self defense classes. She gets up from her sleeping bag and straightens out her PJs.

"I mean... my dad made me watch a series about basic self defense and stranger danger stuff but beside that I never considered taking classes. Why?"

There aren't a lot of places in town where you can learn self defense aside from the boxing gym and the taekwondo dojo in Haverford Plaza. Or maybe the other kids at school. There are quite a few who are pretty well known for getting into physical disputes. What do you think I should do?"

We should try and find out what time the fight is and where exactly it will be in the forest.

I was thinking that maybe we should redo our homework before class (and before school) if we have the time, because I'm worried our current version will cost us our [ADORABLE].

At school it would also be good to find out what clubs are available. We know our BFF wants to join the book club and she doesn't really have any other friends. So we should go with her. It might be good if she doesn't get any friends besides us so that way if we think someone would make good prey, she won't be their friend (and thus eating them won't offend her). I'm not saying we should actively sabotage attempts to make friendships. But we could make her feel like it's not necessary by never making her feel like she's alone (not in a creepy/threatening way, just in a 'not lonely' way).

Also depending on the nature of these clubs we they might not be all at the same time allowing us to join more than one.

>>3765052
We could check out the 'haunted roof', but I'd rather wait till we're stronger, just in case there is truth to it and the truth is dangerous.

I wouldn't be surprised if Creepy Alice is another god fragment. Maybe we shouldn't meet her right away. Might still be worth knowing where she is. The sheriff is looking for her, so telling the sheriff we heard that Alice is in the forest might earn us some brownie points.

>>3765187
It is worth noting that one of the books we saw is The Children of The Man by Yentl Zoraya. Zoraya is Alice's surname.
According to the Homuncuul people The Man is the primordial god that split himself into Ocuul, Manno, and (best god) Dentata.

Princess themed buttonup and skirt.

Also weren’t we going to go through the forest to eat another snake? I thought that was the plan in the last thread?

>>3765246
I don't think we settled on anything.
In terms of snakes, a pit viper (which is venomous) for heat vision might be nice. But for now I think a venomous creature (possibly snake) with very fast acting paralytic venom (that is effective against vertebrates) would be ideal. Not all venomous snakes fit that description. In fact I'm not sure if the forest even has either kind of those snakes.

Obviously eating a venomous creatures need to be handled with care. The heads of at least some venomous snakes survive decapitation for a while.

We can be more reckless about eating something venomous if we eat something immune to it first of course (sea turtle before eating jelly fish for example).

You decide to wear your usual get up. A white short sleeve shirt with a crown embroidered on the collar and a pink skirt. Yuri puts on her long pleated skirt and school blazer. You tell her you want to go over to her place after school to watch the season 3 premiere of P3: PoNRv. She gives you a thumbs up.

"That sounds fun. As long as nothing big happens to keep us from getting to my place after school we should be fine. Hopefully the esoteric note thing stays a one off occurance."

Your hear a knock on the door. Your dad must of woken up a few minutes ago. He calls out from the hall.

"You girls up? I'm working from home today so I can give y'all a ride to school if you want."

Before you say anything you pocket the 17 dollars from last weeks allowance from your nightstand and look to Yuri. There are a few things you could do before school if you really wanted. You could also get there early and explore the campus.

I thought about calling the sheriff to say that we heard Alice is in the woods, but then I thought that might result in the sheriff interrupting Bobby's and Ferdnand's fight. So we can wait till the fight is over to tell the sheriff about Alice.

You turn to Yuri and whisper to her you wanna go to the plaza before school.She nods and gives you a silent thumbs up. You open the door and let your dad know you wanna walk to school with Yuri so you two can chat. He looks down and smiles.

"That's fine kiddo. Just make sure you make it to school on time. I don't wanna get a call from principal Romero that you got a tardy."

He's about to walk off when you tug his shirt and ask if you can start taking taekwondo classes at the dojo with Yuri.

"Sure kid. You can only take weekend classes though. I don't want extracurriculars to get in the way of school and you still might want to join a club. I'm happy you wanna get out of the house more."

After saying goodbye to your dad you and Yuri start your walk to the plaza. As you walk you make some idle chatter.

>>3765506

You ask Yuri when Bobby and Ferdnand's fight is. She pulls out her phone and checks something.

"Our classmates seem to think the fight is taking place tomorrow at the Wild Bunch's club house. It seems that Ferdnand wants to look for a good weapon to fight Bobby with. I'm not sure why though. All Bobby has to fight with is that stupid yo-yo he won't stop talking about."

As your conversation ends you begin to see the various buildings of the Haverford Plaza. This is a fairly small town so it's devoid of major chain businesses. However it's home to an assortment of various family owned shops. As you approach the plaza you decide to go to the...

You decide to go to Mr.Pucciarelli's petstore. In your voice you can hear Blorby stirring.

"Good idea kid, poyo. Maybe you can find some easy snacks, ;p."

You walk in, Yuri following close behind. You look around and see a plethora of animals of various shapes and sizes. At the counter you see Mr.P sorting bottles of fish food. He looks up and sees you.

"Heya! Can I help you find anything?"

You look around and get a look at the prices.

By the way, while frogs often have super long tongues in media, that isn't true in real life. We'd need a chameleon for long shootie tongue IRL.

It is worth noting that ants don't tend to communicate with ants that aren't from their colony. Argentine ants are basically all the same colony except in Argentina.

>>3766809
Don't worry about stuff like that. The whole trait thing becomes less fun if you make them literal to animal biology. I mean I won't go too crazy with those liberties but if you ate a frog to get sticky grabby tongue I'm not gonna pop out the biology text book and tell you it's off limits. If it isn't useful or fun i won't do it. Also...

>>3766837
I explained this before. No you won't get a Bioshock-esque insect swarm the question in the last thread was about pheromone powers which doesn't seem all that crazy.

>>3766871
then I say we get the Beta and then use our last slot for an ant queen. then we don't eat anything else for a while as anyone and our inhumanness will start to show.

>>3766885
We could just try eating some normal ants and see if that does the job. Normal workers have pheromones.

Although what I said about ants only communicating with their own colony could go against Teeth's comment about fun abilities over biology textbook abilities.

You ask Yuri if you can borrow her phone and make a call. She pulls it out of her bag and hands it over.

"Here you go."

You call the hotline number for the Sheriff's office. The phone rings a few times before someone picks up.

"Hello! This is Deputy Gloria."

You let her now that you heard from Illuminate Gregor that they saw Alice go into the woods.

"Thank you for the tip. We'll expand the search to encompass that area. Thanks again for the help!"

You end the call and hand the phone back to Yuri. You ask her if there is anything she wants to do before school.

"Oh... honestly I wouldn't mind going to Franchesca's (Clothing Store). I want to see if they have any new brooches in yet."

You walk a few stores down and enter Franchesca's. It's a fairly spacious store. Its covered in mannequins and racks and racks of clothes of various styles. Yuri walks in and goes over to the counter where they display smaller accessories.

There are quite a few things you can get here. What would you like to buy?

(You can buy either an outfit or an accessory.Once you choose what you like you as a group decide the appearance of the accesory or outfit. Appearance determines any bonuses or benefits if any.

You tell her you'd like a red bow for your hair. Franchesca hums thoughtfully for a moment before pulling out some spools of ribbon and lace from behind the counter. She compares them to the color of your auburn hair before settling on a bright ruby red. She cuts it to length and ties it into a bow and sets it onto a metal hair clip base. She hands it to you and you get Yuri's help to place it toward the left of your face just above where you hair covers your ear. You look in a mirror and you look absolutely adorable.

You can now use your [ADORABLE] trait actively for as long as the bow is equipped. When talking to people an extra [ADORABLE] dialogue option will be added.

"Oh no. Hey Marina we have to go or we'll be late. Today is club day so we get to skip morning classes to see the booths the clubs set up in the gymnasium."

You both say goodbye to Franchesca as you make a dash for school. After you make your way to the campus you go straight to the gym and see the groups of students wandering around looking at all the booths. You have so many choices.

>I want to join Book Club, but if there are other clubs available that don't overlap with book club or martial arts class, that might be worth looking at.

>>3767236
>>3767264
Huh, a tie. Let's debate our points?

>>3767283
Book club will keep us close with Yuri. It will also lend itself to reading. There is probably a bunch of information that can help us.

That said, book clubs often all read the same book according to a schedule and discuss that book. Which means we might not necessarily be choosing the book we read for club and end up reading useless fiction.

>>3767299
I think that choosing a sports club would be useful - can't rely on potential powers too much and we'll have a semi-plausble excuse if our physical performance would look better that people expected of us.
So my choice is purely practical - helps with chasing stuff, running away, build up stamina, and get an excuse when we pull some ridiculous stuff.

>>3767283
Sure. I'm thinking that since we've established Marina as a fan of a magical girl anime, she'd prefer joining the Anime/Manga club, and since there's a reading component to the club, there might be a chance that we could see Yuri with her book club.

Plus, there's a couple of manga and anime out there that sort of fit our new situation, like Parasyte, or that we could take inspirations for new traits from, like in Terra Formars.

>>3767299
>>3767313
Hmm, can't we just ask Yuri to keep an eye fod stuff that could be useful for us instead of joining reading clubs?

>>3767309
We are already going to be taking already taking martial arts class. That should help explain above standard fitness. And we don't need to actually exercise to build up endurance and stuff, we can just eat our way there.

>>3767313
Anime and Manga tend to be very much fiction. I think non-fiction would be much more useful. Getting into Magical Girls would be cute though.

>>3767318
Learning isn't just useful for learning food. Learning about the history of the town might teach us old, obscure, but still existing and useful facts.

>>3767325
Although I suppose if we learn about it in a club, that obscure info might suddenly be a lot less obscure with some people that will personally know us.

>>3767325
But we can ask Yuri or just visit the library in our free time instead. And teakwondo doesn't teach running, plus my point was about NOT relying on our powers too much. Especially when we don't have any.

>>3767320
Well, in terms of learning how to get over being able to eat animals and people to gain their abilities, we're probably only going to see examples of that in fiction, at least until we start up a cult. And even with that, we'll be mostly running blindunless OP decides that there's other kids that have fragments of Dentata riding with them, or some other anime-esque trope.

>Getting into Magical Girls would be cute though.

You leave Yuri and head over to the soccer team's booth.The booth is just a foldout table and a green tablecloth with a cardboard sign. Maning the table is Tilly. She's dressed in the soccer uniform for your school's team. The Haverford Strikers. She still has on her hat and skating pads. She sees you coming and quirks a brow.

"Marina Steel. The little princess? What are doing over here? You never seemed the sports type."

You tell her you are trying to be more physically minded. It's important to stay in shape after all. You hear a boinging in your head. It's Blorby again.

"Yeah right, poyo. You show a kid how to fight once and all of a sudden they try to become a combat specialist."

Tilly hands you a sign up sheet and you sign it and hand it back. She puts it down on the table and looks back up at you.

"Go to the field behind the school after classes on friday. We don't really do tryouts anymore because EVERYONE'S A WINNER."

She says that last part with a fair amount of distaste.

"However we still have to assign positions so we need to see what you're good at. Now beat it. Your lacey bow is gonna scare away all the tough kids."

She shoos you away and you find yourself in the middle of the gym. You have about an hour on your hands. You can talk to people or poke around other parts of the school. You could also try and find Yuri and hang out before classes resume or chat to that grey blob in your head.

Would be strange if our princess didn't have an entourage. Don't want to cling to Yuri too much, though she's still our bestie.

We should try to eat someone before friday. It would feel fun if we kicked butt (but not too much butt kicking) while wearing our bow.

Do note that Tilly is affiliated with the Wild Bunch.

>3767419
I can't really think of anything to do except
>Find Yuri, ask to use phone again, and correct that tip.

>If nobody else is listening, ask if Yuri if she'll be okay in book club without us. Also tell her we don't mind her making new friends, but she should take care to not to get attached to other divine fragments.

>>3767433
Having a group might happen naturally as a result of joining a club.

>>3767435
On second thought wearing the bow while playing soccer might get it dirty. Maybe it would be best to wear the hand-me-downs on Friday for that reason too.

>>3767419
Also,
>Oh we should find out what time the fight is. Keep our eyes out for anyone that would know. We know where Tilly is, and she should know since she's part of the Wild Bunch, but she shoo'd us away.

>>3767443
How about a hair band?

>>3767448
That would be an accessory we have to pay for.
I was thinking a Solarist necklace might be a useful accessory. So I was thinking maybe that is what we should by next. That or maybe try and save up for a used phone (preferably smart phone).

Did you know that a frog's tongue is incredibly soft compared to a human tongue? It's part of why it grabs things so well.

>>3767474
Cool. They also sticky.
BTW I said they aren't super long. They are still proportionally long compared to a human. But they are still far short of chameleon proportionally long.

Speaking of animals:
Since we are doing soccer, maybe we should eat an animal that likes to head butt (e.g. male goats). Pretty sure such animals have a tendency to have adaptations that make head butting safer. Which would be nice if a soccer ball is constantly crashing into our head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F9jXYOH2c0

>>3767480
Uhh, you want to grow horns? Cause I think being thick-skinned is enough.

>>3767435

You go to find Yuri and borrow her phone again. After updating your tip to the sheriff's office you hand it back. You tell her to have fun with book club to be wary of any possible reincarnated gods. You do add that you hope she can make some new friends. She smiles at you.

"I'll be okay. As far as ww know there is just you and the creep who left that note. But yeah maybe I'll meet some new people. It's been just you and me for years. Hopefully they are as interesting as you are."

You walk away and head back to the main thrall of students.

>>3767433

After having that disscussion with Yuri you wonder about your own social life. It has been just you and Yuri in your own closed orbits for a long time. It's good to have a best friend but other friends would be nice as well. You see that there are a few kids on the bleachers who have already finished applying to clubs.

At the top there is Ingo, a member of the Games Club. He is a short kid with red messy hair and freckles across the bridge of his nose. He is wearing cargo shorts and a black hoodie. He has a pin on his hoodie that looks like a d6. You hear he is an expert in various cardgames and likes to teach new members how to play various games. He is reading a comicbook.

Further down at the end of the bleachers is Sasha. A girl with dark poofy wooly hair tied into two puffy pig tails. They are almost perfectly round. She isn't in any club but she is in a small jam band with a few other kids. She has no instrument but she makes rhythms on her computer. She wears a denim jacket covered in patches from various niche bands and a pleated skirt. She is currently bobbing her head to whatever is playing on her headphones.

Finally there is Asher leaning against the wall by the exit. He's a bit of a strange one. He isn't in any social groups but everyone seems to agree he's okay. His grandfather Gregor is the local Illuminate. He has his hair cropped short and has mild vitiligo around his eyes, contrasting with his dark skin. He wears a crisp white buttoned up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and khaki pants. He wears a Solarist rosary around his neck. He is simply standing there and nodding to people as they pass.

You feel kinda nervous now but socializing is important. Who do you talk to?

>Ingo.
>Sasha.
>Asher.
>Nobody(Time skip to lunch).

>>3767482
not just horns dude. There can be other things. Like blood circulation. https://www.mnn.com/family/protection-safety/blogs/what-can-rams-woodpeckers-teach-us-concussions

Pretty sure concussion is caused by the brain moving around in the head and crashing into the skull. Having a less penetrable skull doesn't make the brain inside shake around any less

Everyone knows it's sticky, but not everyone knows that it's soft. TEN TIMES softer than the human tongue.

On second thought a ram or woodpecker might be better than a goat, since that's what the internet keeps popping out at me.
Whatever, I doubt which one we choose makes a difference, and I doubt we'd get a choice between goat and ram anyways.

You walk up to the bleachers and try to catch Sasha's attention. She looks up at you and hangs her headphones around her neck. You can hear a loud rhythmic pulsing coming from the earpieces.

"Hey... you're... you're the princess girl right. Steel. Yeah you always hang out with Chernokov. She intimidates the fuck out of me. But what's up? Did you want something?"

What do you say?

>*gasp* You curse?

Sasha smirks at you a bit.

You pause. Oh no. She misinterpreted your schtick. Sasha starts laughing and you loosen up a bit.

"I'm fucking with you. Yeah that's real nice of you. Sorry if we've never been properly introduced before. I'm pretty sure we're in some of the same classes."

She hold out a hand.

"I'm Sasha Freeman."

You shake it firmly and reply with your own name.

You have sometime to talk before classes resume.

She hums thoughtfully. She turns her phone around to show you a wierd app. It looks like a sound visualizer with virtual nobs and dials.

"It's a frequency generator. I'm just randomizing pitches until I find one that sounds appealing. Then I save it and layer rhythms over them."

She hands you over her headphones and you put them on. You can hear it more clearly. It's got a good feel to it but it sounds strange. The process she uses makes the music sound almost otherworldy. You hand them back and sit down adjacent to her.

You look up for a sec and see Yuri walking over. You wave her over and she steps up to the bleachers.

"Hey Marina! I finished signing up for book club. What club did you sign up for."

You let her know you signed up for soccer.

"Really? If we aren't careful people will think we're..."

She shudders visibly.

"meatheads."

She turns to Sasha.

"Hello. You're the percussion for Grub right?"

Sasha's face sours.

"Yes but please don't say our garbage band name. It was Todd's idea and me and Norman didn't want to alienate our vocalist."

After some more chatter the event ends and you shuffle through your day like normal. At the end of the school day you and Yuri find yourselves with sometime before you head back to Yuri's to watch the premiere of your favorite show.

>What do you do?

Sorry for the late update. Had to go fix something.

>>3768790
We skipped to the end of school? I was hoping to find out what time the fight was scheduled for!

Anyways:
>Let's go to the Wild Bunch hide out.

If anyone is at the hide out, we can ask when the fight is. If we have time, we can also set traps for big game while we are in the forest, which might be helpful for soccer tryouts or preying on long pig.

>>3768790
>We should get a Betta fish
You know they're fighting fish right? Could be handy.

>Then to Yuri's house for the premier!
I heard a new princess is gonna show up.

>>3768891
I think it might be best to save up for a used smart phone. But dad might give us one for free for safety once people start disappearing, if he doesn't put us under house arrest. I think maybe we should browse the other stores too before buying anything.

You have time for both the plaza and the woods. Which one would you like to do first?

>>3768938
Which ever route is more efficient.
If it is about the same, which ever means we are more likely to find out what time tomorrow's fight is (presumably by going to the Wild Bunch's hide out when someone is there)

>>3768950
>To the plaza! I wanna bite the fishies.
Do you suppose we should think about seasoning of meals? That snake might have tasted better with a little Tabasco on it. A sprinkling of cinnamon might just make a gross sounding chomp into a delightful treat. Something to ponder...

I'm kind of wondering what place where water breathing would be useful where we also can't just catch live fish.

>>3769035
Not all fish would make useful meals tho and it's not like we'll find every kind in our town. we don't even know for sure if there is a lake or river anywhere near us. Hmm I wonder what we'd get from crawfish.

>>3769049
But most fish will give us water breathing (there are some that can't, e.g. Like arapaima).

>>3768891

You and Yuri go to Mr.P's pet store one more time to procure a betta. After day of shopping you've had you only have $3 left. You and Yuri walk out with a small baggy filled with clean water and a small iridescent fish. Yuri looks at the fish.

"Are you gonna eat it here? Maybe we should find somewhere away from other people."

>>3768826

You tell Yuri you wanted to go into the woods to see what the Wild Bunch is up to. You can eat it there.

You two begin your walk to the woods and as you walk Blorby interupts your thoughts.

"Psst. Hey kiddo. You sure you want Yuri to see you kill a fish. Yeah she understands what you do, poyo. But understanding and knowing are different things entirely. What are you gonna do about it kid?"

>She can watch. We gotta rip that bandage off at some point.
>I'll make her close her eyes. She doesn't need to see that. Ever.

>>3769068
Too bad she didn't get a couple martial arts flyers while we bought the fish. Eh. They probably have a website.

>Let's get her more comfortable with seeing us eat. Swallowing it whole (we have [UNHINGED]) looks less gruesome than chewing, I assume. It would be bad if the first time she saw us try to get more power is watching us chow down on live long-pig. Let's work our way there.

After you make it to the woods you try and find a secluded clearing away from prying eyes. You have Yuri hand you the bag.

"So... are you gonna...."

You nod. You untie the baggy and pour its contents into your hand. The water sloshes onto the ground through your fingers and the twitching fish remains in your palm.

You open your mouth. It begins to change into it's TRUE form. Yuri has seen glimpses here and there, but she has never seen it change. The corners of your mouth begin to tear open at the seams revealing the flesh beneath the cheeks. The teeth in your mouth shift and change as monsterous knives of white break out from your gumline. The shifting of the teeth making a low grinding noise as they rub against each other.

Your jaw becomes [UNHINGED]. You tilt your head back as a low primal clicking emits from your throat. You drop the sparkling fish into your throat and in an instant it's gone.

>>Trait Gained: [GILLS]

[GILLS]: A simple but useful ability. Sprout gills from your neck at a moments notice. They are quite noticeable however. Can also be retracted just as easily.

Yuri looks a bit dazed. You walk over to her and shake her lightly. She looks up at you.

"Woah. That's... DEEPLY upsetting. Gimmie a second."

She closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths. After a couple of breaths she turns to face you.

"I guess I need to get used to that. Besides you could always do that I guess. It's not like anything has changed. Let's keep going."

You continue your walk through the woods until you find your self at the Wild Bunch's clearing. A few ramshakle structures made of old two by fours and a pond mark up the terrain while a massive tree looms over everything. Suspended in it's thick branches is a rustic tree house with a crows nest that overlooks the clearing.

It's quiet. You can't hear anything around here moving. What do you do?

There's a pond. I bet we could have saved $4. Although I guess maybe the Wild Bunch would have been able to see us fishing, so maybe it's for the best.

Anyways.

A pond doesn't guarantee fish. Plus then we'd have to get a fishing pole, bait(hmm maybe we could have bought a minnow for cheaper?) and whatnot. and I'm NOT getting my skirt filthy for some smelly fish. Do you know how hard my dad works to buy me clothes like this?

You decide to investigate the treehouse. A crude series of ladders and scaffolding. lead up to the main structure. You step up to the first ladder, a series of boards nailed directly to the base of the tree. As you begin to climb, Yuri waiting for you to reach the first scaffold you feel like something is... off.

The luck you got is astounding.

You spot a ladder rung that's miscolored and wrapped with a cord on one end. You climb back down and find a hefty rock ro chuck at it. Upon doing so the board comes loose and is zipped up into the treeline. A few seconds later a large stone weighted net swings down and hits about where you would have been had you kept climbing. Good thing you spotted that when you did. Yuri looks annoyed.

"Are these middle schoolers or guerilla extremists?"

You continue your climb, pulling the wasted trap off of the rungs, and continue your ascent. Yuri following behind this time. You reach the first floor of scaffolding and are suprised at how sturdy it is. It could easily support the weight of 10, maybe 15 kids. Your dad would be impressed. Hell, YOU'RE impressed.

Up here is an empty cable spool that was clearly being used as a table. There are some cheap folding chairs of various conditions placed around it. On the spool/table is a game of solitaire left unattended. Whoever was playing left in a hurry. The cards are all out of place and some have even been knocked to the floor. Yuri comes up behind you and looks at the mess.

"I wonder what could have scared kids as rough as these guys away from their fort?"

Just as she finishes her sentence a dark shape descends from the tree line and leaps toward you and Yuri.

Deftly you draw your parasol from your bag like a sword and instead of striking you leap in front of Yuri and pop it open. The weight and force of whatever leaped out at you pushes you back a few inches as it hits the canopy of your parasol. You feel the parasol become heavy as whatever assaulted you remains seated upon the canopy. It falls off and the sudden shift in weight tilts the parasol down in front of your field of vision.

Y'all get a big boy.

A large and enranged looking eagle. It stands 4 ft tall and has a crest of yellow feathers on it's head. It grips its long dark talons into the wooden floor and flares its wings open in a display of aggresion. The coloration of the feathers on the underside of this creatures belly and wings create the illusion of a predatory set of eyes. The Tyrant Eagle screehes and tilts waiting to strike.

Eagle’s resolve is much lower than vitality. Also Yuri only damages resolve. We should escape or try to get rid of eagles resolve. Hopefully we’ll be able to eat it if it’s resolve goes to 0. But if it escaped that is better than game over

>>3770736
I think we can take it on if we cripple it enough so it would do very low damage then cheese it out with bleed and blocking.

[Wait] costs 0AP and 0PP. Is there a reason to not use [Wait] at the end of every sequence?

Also I suspect our [Cutesy Act] combo's with at least one of Yuri's abilities.

>>3770604
Here is my suggested turn:
[Beneath Me]
[Cutesy Act]
[Cutesy Act]
[Cutesy Act]
[Regal Slap]
[Wait]


(By the way, I'm >>3770736). I might move locations so my ID might change.

>>3770620
Regal Slap is more powerful after they have shame, which they Beneath Me afflicts.

>>3770775
Nu-uh, it works another way - Regal Slap Inflicts Shame.

>>3770736
Actually the combat info says "Resolve - Mental and Spiritual health. This hits zero and you either go unconcious or are forced to flee"

So winning via resolve still might result in us being able to eat the eagle alive.

>>3770782
I misread it.
Regal Slap always afflicts shame (until shame reaches 3 at which point it's capped). Beneath Me afflicts shame if they have 0 shame.

>>3770604
I guess I'll change my suggestion (from >>3770770) to:
[Cutesy Act]
[Cutesy Act]
[Cutesy Act]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Wait]

>>3770790
Seems good, resolve combat indeed seems to be the way to take this beast down.

>>3770790
I still think that first round we should debuff its damage and use block to make an approximation of its attack - dont want to loose a big chunk of hp on the first turn. Turtle up and let Yuri be our damage dealer.

>>3770790
And Cutesy Act costs 1ap, you could use 3 more of them or throw in a Block

>>3770770
Plus Cutesy Act doesn't deal damage by itself - we need to get hit to activate its effect. Your suggested actions are masochistic.

>>3770805
Good point. What action queue should we use?

I think we should dump all our actions into [Cutesy Act]s and [Regal Slap]s and end with a [Wait], but does the order matter for combos, and if so, what likely maximizes what we learn about combos?

>>3770823
I think we win by getting Vitality or Resolve to 0. Getting Vitality and Resolve both to 1 is pointless. I also doubt it matters how low we go, as long as we don't hit 0 in either. As I said before (with different internet), Yuri only helps with Resolve and the Eagle's Resolve is much lower than its Vitality.

Also Charm is a status effect so it should help us with every time we get hit.

>>3770830
My suggestion ->>>3770620
That would be a good oppener for any first turn imho. We turtle up and let Yuri deal Resolve damage and do most of the work.

>>3770839
I'm using Crunch because of its debuff, not the damage. I hope you didn't mix it up with Bite with its bleed damage.

>>3770862
Yeah, I figured that out later. But still, crunch is very AP intensive and we only have 6 AP to start with.


What is an "effective attack" (for the purposes of the shame status effect) anyways? Is it just attacks that Yuri makes? Is it attacks that deal vitality damage? Is it any attack including ones that only do status effect (like Cutesy Act)?

>>3770885
Because if Shame means an attack from our team that deals vitality damage, we could get yuri to inflict 3 shame, and then Pink Strike the eagle a bunch with each Pink Strike dealing 30 Resolve. 6 pink strikes dealing 30 resolve each is 180 resolve damage on turn 1.

>>3770885
Our AP shouldn't matter when Yuri is the main damage dealer. We'll just be a meat wall for her and cheese out this fight with Blocks.

>>3770885
I can't give a proper update yet since im at work but an effective attack is any attack that deals damage (either resolve or physical) completely unblocked. So if you blocked an attack of 35 Dmg and 15 Dmg still gets through it won't count as an effective attack when applying or triggering debuffs.

And yes you can beat an enemy by bringing its resolve or vitality down to zero. Animals have weaker resolves than sentient entities. Vitality knockouts either make an enemy too tired to fight or kill them depending on the situation. Resolve knockouts make them flee or pass out based on the situation as well.

I'l be back to regular updates at 11. So you have time to finalize your opening queue.

>>3770906
So you're saying that we can beat it by Shaming on the very first turn?

>>3770923
If we only use 4 pink strikes (which at 3 shame and the addition of a pink rush would deal 150 resolve), we'll have enough AP to do a 2 mostly pointless Cutesy Acts before or after the Regal Strike to test combo. But we'd need to use the Cutesy Acts before the pink strikes.
That is assuming shame doesn't go away after an effective attack.

>>3770604
To hell with this, let's double down on this overgrown chicken
[Regal Slap]×4

Proc of two Cutesy Acts would deal 10 damage to resolve when a single Pink Strike with 3 Shame stacks would deal 30.

>>3770999
Crap, I misremembered the Eagles resolve. I remembered Marina's resolve 'health meter'.

So my previous suggestion doesn't kill on turn one. Here we go:
[Cutesy Act]

[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]

[Pink Strike]
[Pink Strike]
[Pink Strike]
(Pink Rush Combo)
[Pink Strike]
[Pink Strike]

>>3770999
The Cutesy Acts don't deal any damage. They inflict the Charmed status effect (and Charmed hurts our opponent's resolve when they hit us). Even with shame Cutesy Acts don't deal resolve damage and still only inflict the Charmed status effect.

The reason why I am suggesting we use Cutesy Act is to test Combos. There are Combos besides Pink Rush, we just don't know them yet. I think we have to stumble into them to find out. I think it's best to prod for them when we have a good opportunity, and I think now is one of those opportunities.

5 pink strikes + a pink rush is 6 damage dealing attacks, which together should deal 180 resolve. 180 > than the 170 resolve our opponent has.

>>3771042
I don't think that Pink Crush Combo counts as a separate instance of attack and thus doesn't activate Shame damage proc

>>3771047
I consider it separate. Maybe we can ask Teeth when they come back.

One possibility I'm considering for our turn is

[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]
[Regal Slap]

[Pink Strike]
[Pink Strike]
[Pink Strike]
(Pink Rush Combo)
[Pink Strike]
[Bite]

The reason for doing this is Bite might cause problems for our prey if it flees.

Okay I'm back. There were quite a few suggestions. Gimmie a moment to tabulate which one was the most agreed upon. If you changed your queue I wont count votes for those older suggestions.

>>3771057
>>3770790

These are tied and are the most recently changed.

>Time for a raw vote.

1 for >>3771057

2 for >>3770790

(Voting will last for 35 minutes.)

>>3771143
I think it's the same guy, no?

>>3771127
Oh. I was on multiple computers during this thread. (Well, same computer different internet access actually)
The following IDs are mine:

I doubt that changes the tally, but just in case it does I thought you should know.

>>3771145
Did he change IDs?

If he did then yeah it is. But they appear to be two seperate IDs. If there is an error can you show me?

>>3771149
Yeah they are both yours. Hmmm... This causes some problems.... If this issue continues either I will have to start using the first posted queue or ask that all posters partake in mild namefaggery to avoid future confusion. Which would y'all prefer?

>>3771151

>>3771057
Also if thats the case than this one wins by being the most recent you posted and with greatest majority. Locked. Writing.

>>3771161
Sorry for the confusion. I wanted to continue playing and wasn't home the entire day.

Tyrant Eagle
Vitality: 230/300
Resolve: 0/170
Status: 3SHM, 1BLD

Queue Resolved. Enemy defeated.

The Tyrant Eagle flees leaving a trail of blood behind.

Combat ended.

You stand there on the scaffolding as you see the beaten beast beat a hasty retreat into the woods. You could probably use the trail it's leaving to hunt it down. If you don't find it now another predator will take advantage of this boon and hunt it down before you do. However if you chase it you'll have to abandon your investigation of the hideout.

What do you do?

>Chase it down.

Chase it. That's why we bit it after all.

>Don't forget to ask Yuri if she's okay before running off.

>>3771200
I want to not eat a feather (but eat the rest of the prey of course), and leave the feather on Tilly desk before school tomorrow. Well that or use the feather as an accessory.

>>3771229
Or maybe Yuri should wear the feather.

You ask Yuri if she is okay as you put away your parasol and lick the eagles smeared blood from your lips. The metallic tang filling your taste buds.

"I'm fine. I got nervous and tried to spook it away by hitting it but I think I just made it.... ashamed of itself... that feels like the right word."

You let her know you wanna go after it. She nods in agreement and you both climb back down off the scaffolding. As you run along the trail of red spots you hear a scratchy voice call out from behind you. Whoever it was you couldn't make out what they were saying.

Your sprint ends as you find the Tyrant Eagle balled up in a nest of torn pelts near the entrance of a small cave. It is making direct eye contact with you. It looks like it is suffering from a low self esteem. Around you are a few felled trees with broken trunks and vines that crawl up the dead bases of these hollow oaks. If you make a wrong move you could startle the creature further into the cave.

>What do you do?

>>3771261
>Avoid eye contact. Go in it's direction, but pretend we're focused on something somewhere behind it. Don't look like we're in a hurry. Once we get close, attack.

>Also tell Yuri the plan in a calm and quiet voice. If she focuses on it, that's no good.

It can be easy to get lost in caves.

Maybe try to hide behind the open parasol?

I think it might be better to
>try to be adorable. Whatever that means. Holding Yuri's hand? Skipping? Open umbrella, holding it mostly vertical, and spinning it? Trying to balance our royal toy scepter on our face?
Something that looks cute as we make our way there.

Since he agrees with your old choice and you changed your mind roll 1d2.

(First roll posted will be used.)

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>3771295
I meant in addition to my first thing, not instead of. Well, I could see how it would be difficult to look in any direction except up with balancing a scepter on our face, but that was just an example. And maybe skipping is inherently in a hurry. If the 2 I brought up are mutually exclusive, I support my second suggestion.

So I think it's a conflict between hiding behind a parasol or trying to look adorable (assuming it's not impossible to do both)

>>3771298

Locked. Writing.

>>3771298
I think successfully hiding behind an umbrella with intent to hide and looking adorable are probably inherently in conflict.

You demurely try and approach the emotionally upset and wounded bird. You slowly open your parasol and pretend to cower behind it as you take dainty steps toward the creature. It doesn't seem to fall for your [ADORABLE] act as you had just spent the last couple of minutes beating the shit out of it. However, your defensive approach seems to be working as it hasn't fled further into its cave.

Roll 1d6.

(Best of 3)

Rolled 5 (1d6)

Serves him/her right!

Rolled 2 (1d6)

>>3771308

You manage to get close enough that the bird is within arms reach. You hear a noise from deep within the cave now that you are close enough. It like a spattered mess of squeaks and gibberings. The feathers on the Tyrant Eagle are poofed out to appear bigger in size.

>What do you do?
