Her clothes change instantly, leaving her in a butler suit similar but not identical to yours.
On her head were a pair of cat ears, and protruding from her lower back, a tail.
She reaches up for the ears,
"Eh, not so shabby. the tail could get some getting used to though."
She walks up to the nearest wall, looks at the Director and asks
"May I ma'am?"
"Go ahead." the petite girl answers.
Susan pulls back and punches the concrete with all her might.
Huge cracks form around her fist like a spiderweb.
"Hmnnn thought I could do it in a single punch."
She punches it again, and yet again.
You she rage in her eyes as she does this for the remaining time that Nekomode was activated.
When the ability cuts-off, she still continues to punch the wall, blood now oozing from her knuckles.
She's crying.

WAT DO?
>>
>>19656383
Gently but firmly catch her arm.
Hug her.
>>
>>19656383
go give our twin a comforting hug, bandage up her hand.
>>
TWINS WE ARE!
*wordless hug time*
>>
>>19656383
Hug her and hold her while she cries
She isn't alone now
>>
>>19656383
Engage emergency crying girl protocol #73.

Simultaneously give her a comforting hug, start bandaging her hands and get her to drink some healing blue.

Don't ask how it's supposed to work, it's what butlers do.
>>
>>19656383
One hand on shoulder, other offering healing potion.
Say "Yes it sucks, but you don't have to deal with it alone."
>>
>>19656383
Firmly catch hold of her arm, and gently give her a hug.
"I know. How you feel, what this all means to you. But you're not alone; I'll be here to help you."
>>
>>19656395
"I'm sorry you had to go through that, but you're here now. we...we won't be alone, ever again."

You know why she's crying. It's pretty obvious really.
Here she is, stuck in a place that's much like her own, but really quite unknown to her.
She lost all that she loves, she's lost the girls.
She, in all intents and purposes, doesn't exist.

It's actually quite reasonable to breakdown.
Hell, if it was you [and it really is you by someway] you'd think your reaction would be worse.

You reach out to her and wrap her in a wordless embrace.
She continues to silently cry on your shoulder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Minutes pass, her tears soaks your shoulder, but thankfully she begins to calm down.
"You okay now?" you ask this other version of yourself.
"Y-yeah." she answers.
"Great. Now let's fix up that hand real quick." you pull out your flask and hand it to her.
She downs a few gulps of Healing Blue and hands it back to you.
"I guess I need to build up my stuff again huh?" she says as she does this.
"Don't worry. We'll help."

"Ayasaki Susan, you are now officially sanctioned Bureau Trainee. Handler will be Mike "
The Director tells her this.
"Further required testing, overseen by me. A room has been provided for you in the dorms."
"Thank you ma'am" She answers


[ ]Let me take you to your room
[ ]Why don't you just stay at our place?
[ ]*other stuff you want to say*
>>
>>19656479
[x]Why don't you just stay at our place?

As if we would even consider not having her live with us.
>>

is there a very good reason why she shouldn't?
>>
>>19656479
[X] Why don't you just stay at our place?

Technically since you're me, kinda, it's just as much your place as mine. Did you ever get a beach side resort in a glass bottle, I personally have no clue how much our timelines diverged Susan.
>>
>>19656479
>[ ]Why don't you just stay at our place?
>>
>[X]Let me take you to your room

She needs some breathing space. Taking her with us now would be to much. Not that we shouldn't drop by with her in tow to freak everyone out.
>>
>>19656479
[x]Why don't you just stay at our place?
"The girls are going to flip their shit when I bring ANOTHER cute girl back with me."
>>
>>19656479
Why don't you just stay at my place?
You mentioned it was your house when I saw you beforehand so I see no reason why it shouldn't be the same now
>>
>>19656479
[X ]Why don't you just stay at our place?
[x] other
"Why don't you come home? It's as much yours as mine."
>>
Would Susan know about the house? I'm pretty sure the split happened before we got it and I don't recall any mention of her finding Gulliver's shop.
>>
>>19656493
fair point, but we don't want to give her the impression that isn't entitled to a place in our family and in our home. she can get breathing room at the resort easily, there's plenty of space.
>>
>>19656512
She found the shop but didn't buy the house
When she was bleeding through after the party and during the bath incident she mentioned why were we in her house
>>
>>19656512
Just because it wasn't mentioned, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Probably just happened a little later.

We know she did have it, because the overlap events, where she called it her house.
>>
>>19656493
That would reinforce the feeling of abandonment
Remember right now she is us in our worst case scenario. Everything and everyone we knew is gone so hayate wouldn't want to be alone
>>
>>19656517
>>19656534
Yeah, and she has everyone she lost around swagged by an alternate version of her.

We should ask her if she wants in. It's her call

"Why don't you just stay at our place?" you tell her.
"I assume by what you said when we saw each other down at the beach that you also had the house in the bottle."
She looks pained by this, a reminder of this she lost.
"I.. I can't. I don't want to intrude."
"Bullshit. I'm the closest thing to a relative you have here. We're practically twins. well... weird, timeywimey, domensionally twins, but still... TWINS!"
She chuckles at this.
"It would be rude for me not to insist that you stay. You know that house right? It has loads of room. Besides, the girls will flip thier shit when they see you."
That pained expression again, it appeared when you said -girls-.
"Please, I insist. You don't have to be alone here. I'm here for you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"I'll take you up on that offer then."
"Great. Director, this is alright, right?" you ask the head of your organization.
"Kyon, note that Susan's residence shall now be listed under Ayasaki's. Relationship, siblings."
The man who had been silently standing in a corner takes out a notepad and does as he is told.
As he writes some stuff down, you can barely hear him mutter a weird mantra repeatedly.
"...there'stwoofhimnow...there'stwoofhimnow...there'stwoofhimnow...gah."

"That will be all for tonight." the director tells you as she turns back.
"Dismissed."


WAT DO OH MASTER BUTLERS?
>>
this thread is cancer, please stop posting. thanks
>>
>>19656559
Well, let's go home, obviously.

>>19656564
No, Anon, you are the cancer.

We go home.
Wait, or maybe we go to Mike.
Or the Doctor.


>>19656564
Okay.
>>
>>19656564
Like the usual 40k Muuureeeens wanking is genuine art.
>>
>>19656559
Try and discover differences between yourself and Susan. e.g. equipment, knowledge, stuff like that.
>>
>>19656559
Go home. Avoid trolling people, regardless of how tempting it is. Brace for misunderstandings~
>>
>>19656559
Take her home.
Don't warn any of the girls.

How long do you reckon it will take before the girls decide that having her sleep by herself would be cruel and drag her into our bed?
>>
>>19656559
Head home, Yuki and Susan in tow.

When we get in just tell the girls to put down the rope, hammers, pliers, candles and whatever other implements they had been planning to use, we've had a long day and we have more important things on our plate.
>>
>>19656559
>"...there'stwoofhimnow...there'stwoofhimnow...there'stwoofhimnow...gah."
Haha Kyon is about to have his mind snap
I wonder what P San would think now there is a female hayate running about?

Swing by the PX and pick up whatever we can for Susan that she wants / needs then head home

Maybe double "I'M IN YOUR HEAD GIRL" Recette while we are there
>>
>>19656559
go by Ryu's first, get us each a drink, then head home. we have a lot of 'splaining to do.
>>
>>19656577
It's late, let's not bother Mike just now.

At least, I think it's late? I guess I've completely lost track.

LG, about what time is it?
>>
>>19656592
it was early afternoon when we got thrown in the brig, director said 19 hours remaining, so my guess is evening, around 10.
>>
>>19656559
Give her one more hug.
"I'm sorry for painful reminders. Let's go."

Go home.
>>
>>19656589
>double Recette mind control
She would never recover from such a thing
I agree on picking up whatever Susan needs on the way home
>>
Stopping by the PX sounds a fine plan, assuming it's open.
>>
>>19656592
you got thrown into the brig early, at about 4.
It is now almost 10ish
>>
>WAT DO
- Mike: "My dimensional Twin sister. She will be under your care"
- The doctor: "Hi. I sorted the whole ghost thing. Any idea how it will affect the whole drain thing?"
- Home : "Hey girls. My twin sister. She will be staying with us. Also her Device: Naru."
>>
>>19656619
Let's see if the PX is open late. If not, just head home.
>>
>>19656627
Nah we go home and let them go nuts until we say on by the way this is me from another dimension who got stuck as a female after messing up the gender swap potion

Then we watch the lecherous looks from them all
>>
HEY GUYS!
how about we don't use this opportunity as just an excuse for shenanigans.
>>
>>19656559
"By the way, how'd things go with Perrine for you?"
Susan: "Perrine? What are you talking about?"
"Oh dear. So you don't know she's pregnant?"
>>
>>19656662
That's why my suggestion was
>>19656653
We let them react then we clear it up. Trying to defuse it before they have their reaction won't work
>>
>>19656665
Good idea, start finding out the differences.
>>
>>19656682
I think going over the life that Susan just lost would be too painful for her and too insensitive for us. Let's give it some time.

The Director and kyon leave the room, the man giving you a sidelong glance as he did.
"So, Is there anything you would need before we go home? We can pick some stuff up from the PX." you ask her.
"I.. I don't think I can right now. I just want to get into a bed and rest."
"Of course. Let's head home then." You take her hand and Yuki's as the glasses wearing girl uses her portkey.

-------------------------------------------------
Back home, you walk into the main entrance to the sound of hammering and drilling.
"What's going on?" you ask no one in particular.
"Girls? We're home. Can we all meet up in the sitting room?" You mentillate as you walk down the hall.
Hina and Perrine walk out of one of the empty bedrooms furthest from yours, The twins and surprisingly, Mio walks out of the master bedroom powertools in hand.

"You're early." Erica comments as she steals a glance at Susan.
Mio holds her hand out and grins at this.
"Family meeting." You say again as you lead them into the sitting room.

After everyone has settled in, Erica jumps to the chase and asks you without any wind-up.
"So, what's up? Who's your friend?"

WAT SAY?
>you will be answering this as Susan.
>>
>>19656731
I... have no idea what to say.
>>
>>19656731
Some of you know that Hayate in his spare time has been fiddling with a gender-swap potion, entirely for academic purposes, and has an unsuccessful test run a while back. I'm Hayate, from a different timeline where the gender-swap potion worked and was permenant. Then shenanigans occurred, time and space got all twisted up and I ended up here, long story.

Since having two Hayates around would make things confusing I'm going by Susan now.

I think that pretty much covers it.
>>
"I am Ayasaki Susan. Due to dimensional mishaps involving a gender-switch potion I am stranded in this dimension. I will be under your care for the time being."
>>
>>19656731
I AM SUSAN, YOUR NEW GOD
>>
>>19656746
THIS
>>
>>19656731
Might as well make it quick and to the point.
"Hello, I am Hayate, but now known as Susan. I . . well its complicated, but I -no - we believe that I am from an alternate timeline or dimension."

"In my timeline, the gender transformation potion I used backfired, and I turned into a girl. After a series of . . unforeseen consequences . .I managed to end up here."

>Deal is over
>YES, SWEET FREEDOM!
>>
>>19656731
"I... I'm Hay- Susan. Susan Ayasaki. It's complicated, but, I'm a... I'm from another dimension, where I was Hayate, and now I'm here, and a girl." start tearing up "A-and Hayate offered to let me stay here. I-I hope you'll treat me well."
>>
>>19656731
This is a bit hard to explain
I am Hayate from another dimension or reality or something, the director just said lots of letters and numbers

I made a mistake when I tried to make a gender change potion and got stuck this way, when I tried to undo it the doctor ended up splitting me off from the male me and I ended up alone in this empty "storage" bureau of the directors

I ended up running around looking for anyone and after a while I found where Hayate was and I could see a shadow of him. Then the director appeared and said something about me being waste from the doctor fixing me in my dimension.

So I am now in the bureau and listed as Hayate's sister and he invited me to stay here because he said it was my house anyway
>>
>>19656731
"I don't understand what exactly has happened, but I will lay out the facts as I know them.
I'm Hayate. I succeeded in creating a genderswap potion several weeks ago, but the effects were not reversible. I was doing some tests with The Doctor (however long it's been since the split), when something very strange happened. Once I left the Doctor's lab, I found the bureau to be abandoned. I had no equipment, no device, no one. I was alone. Just now, I was following some sounds when I came upon the Director outside the detention area. She told me that I was in an alternate dimension of the bureau that only she has access to. She brought me here. I don't know what's going to happen now. I've been re-enrolled as a trainee in the advanced class, and I've been given a new device, Naru."

Sigh.
"This is harder than I thought it would be. I'm Ayasaki Hayate, but from an alternate timeline. I had an alchemy accident and ended up as a girl. The procedure to turn me back apparently worked, but...I...I'm waste material. I don't have a home anymore..."

These are facsimilies that belong to this timeline's Hayate, not her.

"Well..." you begin to explain, but she stops you.
"Let me." she says as she straightens up in her seat and sighs.
"This is harder than I thought it would be. I'm Ayasaki Hayate, but from an alternate timeline. I had an alchemy accident and ended up as a girl. The procedure to turn me back apparently worked, but...I...I'm waste material. I don't have a home anymore..."
"Wut?" Erica and Mio ask at the same time.
"I'm him. But not really. I was ripped out of my world after I was cured. Technically I shoudn't exist anymore..."
She says as she looks at all of the girls, and begins to tear up again.
Hina beats you in coming to her aid.
"Do you have a place to stay? You're more then welcome here you know." she tells the other girl.
"Actually, He offered me a room already." she tells her.
"Great. If you need anything, even if just someone to talk to, feel free to approach me."
"Thank you HIna."
"Wait... Wait..." Erica interrupts this scene as elegantly as a buffalo in a room of cymbals.
"So, you're him, and he's you... But not really?"

"Basically." You and Susan answer at the same time with a chuckle
"so for all intents and purposes... The two of you are twins?"
"Kinda."
"Yeah."
"Sister, it doesn't work like that." Ursula gives her a playful bop on the head.
"Eh... But it's close right?"
"Not even. They are basically alternate versions of each other from two parallel timelines. That does not make them twins."
"Ehhh..." She tries to argue again.

"So yeah girls. She'll be staying here with us. I hope that's alright with all of you?" you ask your assembled girls
"Fine by me." Erica says with a leer
"I agree."
"I would'ave suggested that if you hadn't."
"It would not be proper to leave her all alone of course."
"Of course wife, she may stay." Mio adds her vote.
You give Mio a quick look for this but she pays it no mind.

"Wait, what do we call you? Hayate 1 and 2? or Girlyate and Femaleyate?" Erica asks, giving you a grin as she said "girlyate".
"I actually decided to use the name Susan. It's familiar to me and I used it when I first went to the Bureau, I don;t see what's wrong with using it again." Susan tells her.
"Ah great. Well, Susan., let's get you all settled in."

-----------------------------------------
The rest of the waking hours were spent getting her comfortable in a room down the hall next to Yuki's.
You offered her a meal, but she said that she wasn't hungry.

As everyone settled into bed, Yuki and Susan in their rooms, Perrinne and Hina choosing to bunk in the one they came from where you arrived; you slipped into your own bed with the twins, and surprisingly enough, without complaint form the other two, Mio.

Ignoring the Chains, straps and other scary accountrements that have been added to your room during your absence, and also wisely not commenting on Mio laying on your left arm, you ask the girls what they think of Susan.
"Well... She seems sad." Erica tells you.
"Indeed. She's distant." Ursula agrees with her sister.
"Your twin needs some counseling." Mio tells you.
"Yeah, she'll need to talk a lot of stuff out. She was crying earlier as well when she was testing out her new Device."
"Well, we'll be here for her." Erica tells you as she settles in deeper into your side.
"Yeah. Of course." you answer her.
"Something's been bothering me..." you segue as smooth as gravel "What's with the sleeping arrangements? Why're Perrinne and Hina in the other room, and Mio, why are you in our bed?"

"Well.." Erica begins to explain sheepishly.
"They evacuated when we begun our renovation of the room." Ursula explains deftly for her sister.
"Ah. they coudnt stand the hammering I take?"
"That and the drills, and the welder, and the jackhammer... and the other stuff." Erica grins.
"And... Why are you here Mio?" You ask the Pirate witch.
"It would not be proper to send a lady back outside this late at night would it?" She says coyly.
"But why in our bed?"
"You're warm."
"... no grabbing okay?" You plead
"I'll try."

Something pokes you in the back, your reach underneath you and pull out a broken-off hammer head.
"So uhhh, I'm scared to ask this, but whats with the -renovations-?" You ask them as you throw the hammer head towards the foot of the bed.
"It was gonna be our surprise for you when you get out of the brig... But since you got out early, the surprise is ruined now." She pouts cutely.
"I see... And I take it the chains were really necessary?"

Some time after midnight, you wake up to Erica and Mio playing a game of sleeping tug of war with your legs.
You unhook yourselves from them and for some reason, unknown to even you, decide to slip out of bed and take a walk.

You found her on the midway point of the tower stairs and the beach.
Looking over the artificial ocean from that balcony.
She's dead quiet, and just stands there staring out into the emptiness.
You try and walk away silently and give her some alone time, but your shoes grate across the steps, creating the slightest of noises.
"Please don't go." Susan says without looking back at you

We were put there with Yuki for insubordination, because we refused to fight the last fight of the tourney between the basic & advanced classes.

>>19657547
I presume it was Hayate vs Yuki?
>>
>>19657511
It's because his fingers touch the keyboard. The oil in his skin causes the key to oxidize slightly over time. After long enough, the most-used keys will be yellower (more oxidized) than the least-used keys. But yeah, even if he wasn't typing on it, they would all yellow eventually anyway, it would just take much longer and be much more uniform.

You say nothing and walk up to stand next to her.
The two of you spent a few minutes in comfortable silence, the waves echoing belos you and the soft constant breeze on your skins.
Finally, she opens her mouth and asks you,
"So... What's with Perrinne, Yuki and the Major?"

WAT SAY?

>>19657474
They yellow not only from dirt but from sunlight/UV as well.
Hydrogen peroxyde should deal with that.
i think those particular keys not yellowing could be because they came from a different batch of keys, a slightly different plastic composition.

24 hour brig stay which got cut short due to Kyon/Susan and we lost a weeks pay for it together with all the trainees who refused to fight.

>>
>>19657565
>"So... What's with Perrinne, Yuki and the Major?"
"That never happened in your timeline? Perrine's pregnant - future me was seduced by her when he helped us in the Witches dimension."

"Yuki's infatuated, but at the moment I'm just her guardian because the Director said so."

"Mio took a serious liking to me when Erica and I performed a prank where we pretended to be her future children. She's stopped drinking and, were it not for the fact that she wants to seduce me, rather than the other way around, I expect she would already be part of the family."
>>
>>19657565
"Yuki, I'm not exactly sure. The director has had her enrolled as a trainee, and I've been assigned as her new guardian. Kyon isn't happy about that, as I'm sure you could tell.
Mio is head over heels, and trying her best to trip me into a bed without the girls permission. I'm trying to reverse seduce her.
As for Perrine, you should probably sit down before I explain that. She's pregnant. Future-us is the daddy. apparently we slept with her the same night we made things official with the twins, in the SW dimension."
>>
>>19657565
"Perrine came in a bit after the Advanced classes started. I should tell you, she's pregnant. Apparently we get stupid in the future and go back into the past and knocked her up during our first time in Erica and Ursula's home Dimension. More time shenanigans.
"Mio, she got serious on us after we played a prank on her with Erica. You get to meet Ms. Melmo in the Advanced Classes? Remember the candy that Nanoha took that made her older? We took the one that makes us younger, acted like our kids from the future. Played it on Trude and Mio. Now Mio wants our kid, apparently.
"As for Yuki...I got nothing. The Director made us her guardian and had her move in here."
>>
>>19657565
I guess things happened differently for you
Perrine is pregnant, time shenanigans apparently
Yuki got assigned to live with me yesterday because the director thought it was necessary
Mio has been trying to make me her wife and well the girls decided it was ok for me to go on the offensive to get her to ask if she can join the family
>>
>>19657565
>"So... What's with Perrinne, Yuki and the Major?"

Well that's complicated. Apparently at some point in the future I'll go back to when I visited the witches' home dimension and get Perrine pregnant. Once we found out about that there wasn't really any chance of her not joining our family.

Yuki's here because Director Nagato decided to transfer her guardianship to me because of that time when... *blush*

And well, Mio and I are currently engaged in pitched battle.
>>
>>19657565
You type too hard, man.

fukken tab closure. All my typing.

"Well, the director assigned me as Yuki's guardian, so she moved in. Doesn't hurt that she's cute.

"Mio's been after me for a while, did she not try anything with you before the... change? I've gotten permission from the girls to respond with appropriate force.

"Perrine... Perrine's difficult." Give her a serious look, "You never found out, did you? She's pregnant, with our time baby. Trude broke my arm a couple times in the time it took to be revealed."

"Perrinne's situation is fragile right now, when we were i their dimension a future version of me came back to comfort her but she was so insistent with him and now she is pregnant with my child... it is complicated."

"i have been appointed to be Yuki's guardian by the director, i am not sure what she's thinking but i'll do my very best to for Yuki's sake."

"Mio was impressed with my household skills and decided that i would be her wife, in time she became more and more attached and aggressive in her advances and now i have permission to counter her advances with my own."

i type slow, might be the main reason i still have most my old stuff in working order.

"Nope. I think she wants me to confess to her. Something about her warrior's pride not wanting to give up the chase."

We should warn her about the other people who are on decaying orbits. Tell her about the simulation with Keima and Miki turning up in our bed one time.
>>
>>19657807
100% platonic twin-tier snuggle time. I'm willing to bet she could really use someone holding her right now.
>>
>>19657807
Ask her how Keima reacted to us being a girl
We know we affect him so this just seems too good to pass up
>>
>>19657807
explain about Naru. and about Keima.
>>
>>19657829
Quite
>>
>>19657823
Yeah
And when we go back to bed drag her with us if we have to. Not gonna let her go be alone and mopey
>>
>>19657807
"Also I might have sort of maybe kissed Keima slightly. But we were both girls at the time so I don't think it's gay."
>>
>>19657807
>Anything to say
Sit down next to Susan.
"So, about Naru. I take it you missed the Infinicon simulation?"
Explain to her what happened, why we felt so responsible for Naru not coming through.
"Oh yeah, you remember the Idols, right? Well, Miki found her way into our bed once..."
And explain that little fiasco.

And trade the clone program with Susan now.

>>
>>19657861
Tonight should be the last night for curing the Moonlight, too. Now would be a good time to show it to Susan. Teaching it is going to be a bitch to do, though.
>>
>>19657888
Let's let Ryuu do that.

I'll agree with a Bunny/Neko Mode swap, let the clones wait for now.
>>
>>19657888
Yeah. We would have to shoot her without warning.
>>
>>19657888
>>19657893
Considering the prep time required, there's really not much point in us both knowing how to make it.
>>
>>19657888
Ryuu teaches her
We can show it to her and explain it though
Maybe recount the story of after we drank it and our chasing butterflies
>>
>>19657913
Except that she's her own person with her own life who's also interested in alchemy, not some familiar or device that just acts as an extension of our will.
>>
>>19657913
There is good reason since we get two people who can make it

Remember we won't necessarily both be in the same place at once so if we can both make it then it is a bonus
>>
should probably hold off on learning moonlight for a few days. that's the one where he shot us, remember?
>>
>>19657923
And that equates to her learning exactly the same potions how?
>>
>>19657933
Well it is all up to Ryuu when she learns it anyway
>>
>>19657933
That's why I said Ryuu should do it.
>>
>>19657935
It doesn't. It should be up to her and Ryuu. There's also no reason why she shouldn't, though.
>>
>>19657935
Same progression of skills and need for useful potions such as a stronger healing potion which is pretty much expected as a standard for any decent alchemist?

Plus we are going to be working together on alchemy and experimentation probably so I dare say she will learn the ones we do and vice versa
>>
>>19657935
Because, as her own person, maybe she WANTS to learn it? She has an interest in Alchemy just as we do, so why wouldn't she want to learn it.
>>
>>19657947
And maybe tuning herself permanently into a girl soured her alchemy experience and she doesn't want to learn anymore.
>>
>>19657966
Well given all our actions as Susan we kept pushing on with the alchemy so I doubt it
>>
>>19657966
Exactly. We shouldn't be making any plans for her one way or the other. She can pursue whatever she wants - or not pursue whatever she wants. If she wants to learn moonlight, that's exactly as fine as not learning it.
>>
>>19657947
She might want to but we should leave that up to her teacher.
>>
>>19657966
>>19657947
>>19657935
Umm... don't we also have some control over Susan? So don't we decide what she wants sorta?

You pull out your jar of moonlight and place it next to you on the steps.
"Moonlight huh?" She asks
"Yep. You also learning how to make this?"
"Ryuu shot me when I went down to his place all depressed and wanting a drink. he said it should take my mind off things. It kinda did."
"Heh, butterflies." you both say at the same time.
"We're gonna do that real often huh?" she asks
"Most likely."
"So... Huh, I guess i have to thank you for letting me stay here, I must admit this is better then my plan of just staying all alone in a room and shutting out the world."
"I'm you. I knew you'd want to do that." you tell her.
"Thank's again."
"You are most welcome."

don't forget, as her device, Naru is going to hear all this.

"She was originally part of the Infinicon simulation, just programmed data that should have been erased when the assignment ended.

You tell her.

"I see... So Kraus put her into my device.. How the hell did that work?"
"SIMPLE.

>INSTEAD OF A NEW PERSONALITY BEING UPLOADED INTO IT AS YOU ACTIVATED IT, I, WITH SOME HELP FROM THE FURBALL, BUT I STILL DID MOST OF THE WORK, I PUT HER DATA WHICH I HAD BEEN STORING DORMANT IN ME, AFTER STEALING IT BEFORE IT WAS ERASED PERMANENTLY, INTO THAT STILL BLANK DEVICE

So the Device was still blank when he inserted Naru's personality data.

>>19658328

my bet is he fucked up somehow and it will come back all kinds of pissed off.

>>19658348
Alright, so we've got two conflicting explanations.
He either cut in line at the creation matrix and he got Naru into a still-blank Device, or he attempted a deletion of a still un-activated personality.

She bows to you, in that formal, elegant manner of hers, and says.
"Milord, I wish to thank you and master Kraus for keeping your promise and taking me with you. If it was not for you, I would still be going through the motions in that city. For that I would like to express my deepest gratitude."
"No Naru, I did almost nothing. Kraus is the only one you should thank."
"No milord. I thank you for making that promise to me in the first place. It was that tiny ray of hope I was waiting for all that time, and it set things into motion."
She walks up to you and takes your hands in hers.
Her hands were warm, so warm.
Her tears that began to fall were warmer.
You stand up and give her a nice big hug.
"Welcome home Naru." you tell her in your native toungue.
"I'm home." she replies.
>>
>>19658379
I think it was just personality preset data, not a formed mind. It's like changing the presets on something by erasing the old cookies. So instead of a blank personality preset getting loaded, Naru's personality and memories got loaded.
>>
>>19658371
Attempted deletion
We were told all inactive devices have a personality in them before which is why we couldn't throw Naru into a spare but he cut the link between it and Susan before anything bonded

Did kraus maybe end up with it sucking into where he stored Naru I wonder?

Nah it has a personality to begin with
Remember back in the first thread mike said that kraus was a weird personality pre load? They are pre loaded and a full personality waiting to be activated.

If Hayate ever realizes this it is gonna be major PTSD for him and probably Susan
>>
>>19658425
No memories, though. Not until it's activated. Just personality data.

It is still infinitely more complex than Naru was. It may not have memories but it was a full conciousness that he stomped out of existence

Naru's a full consciousness. She's so complex that Hayate was only able to keep her running for seconds before passing out. She's certainly on the exact same tier as a device personality - and has memories to boot. What Kraus did to that device was alter its personality in Naru's and insert her memories before it had even taking its first metaphorical breath. It's less like abortion and more like if a fetus had its genome completely rewritten and some memories implanted part way through gestation. It becomes a different person than it would have been, but doesn't really die, per se.

From Kraus' explanation, and that first thread, I gather that the personalities are stored in that "creation matrix" and then only loaded into the devices upon activation.

And killing personalities isn't that weird.
Mike gave us that option when Kraus first spoke

Remember our reaction to that option?

Our reaction was more along the lines of "Nah, this guy is funny".
Not "oh gob you're going to kill a sapient AI".
>>
>>19658494
Slap him, drink alcohol until we woke up in our vomit in Rio de Janeiro with our new best friend?
>>
>>19658461
Actually the devices are a step above since they have powers and such standard and we could just support Naru as a familiar

Also devices are pre loaded as complete personalities. Kraus was Kraus, regardless of who got him
>"This is your badge and device. The preloaded AI will be able to assist you during duty
>Hmnnn seems like you got a weird AI there man. I can have it replaced if it grates on you too much."

Devices are entire entities prior to anyone using them. Replacement is possible but done by the bureau

Like it or not Kraus killed something just like him

>>19658494
"I think I'll keep him"

we were'nt too opposed to it, nor did we react violently
>>
>>19658503
Yup. I don't think we'll react terribly badly to the fact that Naru overwrote some basic preloaded personality data.
>>
>>19658506
Ah, I remember when something quite similar happened....
>>
>>19658518
After our shitfit over Naru who was a basic construct until we fucked with her code?
If Hayate finds out he would flip his shit. We nearly attacked the dude because we wanted to save Naru we nearly broke down because we failed to sustain her. Kyon nearly bitchslapped us and told us to let it go because she was a construct we had known for about 5 minutes before becoming attached to ( I know we spent 3 days in there but people grew attached too fucking fast )

The word REAL has been crossed out
>>
>>19658540
If she had stayed a basic construct, then we wouldn't have flipped a shit over it.
It's because she went beyond a mere construct, and become a fully sapient AI, that we flipped our shit.

We've dealt with construct NPC's in sims before and since that incident, and haven't had any problem with them getting erased.
Naru is a special case.
>>
>>19658540
The fact of the matter is this: We knew and cared about Naru.
Does anyone remember when we killed Raz? We didn't even so much as blink when we killed him. Hell some of us felt accomplished.
>>
>>19658593
Yes but because she was sentient
Just like what kraus killed

We didn't care about the rest because they were just NPC's and we understood that
This is a whole new ball game
>>
>>19658601
>Does anyone remember when we killed Raz?
No. Refresh my memory.
>>
>19658601
See
>>19658610
The reason it became such a big issue was because she was sentient. Once we realized that is when it changed from "oh well she is gone" to "WE MUST SAVE HER"
>>
>>19658614
Raz was the target in an assassination simulation.
It's also the same one that we got Daniil from.
Raz was holed up in a fortress, so we dropped a couple barrels of Molotov and some boulders on him. Then, when he survived, we stabbed him right in the chest and killed him.
>>
>>19658614
The sim where we picked up Dan
He was the boss of the sim who we saw for all of five seconds before stabbing him to death
>>
>>19658635
That's a sim. That's completely different. He was just a simple construct. Naru stopped being one because of our data manipulation.
>>
>>19658564
... I'm scared.
>>
>>19658645
...uh, yes. That was the point of the anon who brought it up.
And I was just explaining who Raz was, because someone wanted a reminder.
>>
>>19658670
The real point is that he wasn't even truly killed. He'll be reloaded good as new next time someone runs through a sim. It's a bad comparison for that reason, not because he's simple and she's complex.
>>
>>19658564
She could have been so much more
Instead now she's only a device...
>>
>>19658705
>only
I think that's a grand thing to be. And as proven by slotting Kraus into strikers, she could power other things. Like, say a robotic body. And that's aside from physically manifest as many devices, like Saber, do.

I see this line as implying that we see the constructs in the simulations as people, not just devices.
>>
>>19658780
Good point
>>
>>19658758
in the SCP Bestiary, locked under the deepest keter-class vault
>>
>>19658780
But those people got wiped anyway when the sim ended. And the same for every iteration of them that existed for all of the other pairs of trainees.

I think the line was more about us considering the implications of calling in an air strike in an actual field op, where we would be consigning hundreds of people to their deaths.
>>
>>19658780
i think we said that in the context of "if this was the real deal..."
>>
>>19658809
You are sort of grasping at straws here.
We have repeatedly shown a reluctance to kill anything sentient. Raz was the one exception and we even tried taking to him first.

We will flip if we find out what happened. You don't have to like it any more than I liked us getting Naru this shitty way
>>
>>19658840
Raz was not the one exception. There was also Caster in the Bluebeard Scenario. The only hesitation we did was to keep him talking while we took in the situation, then Timestopping to kill him as soon as we identified where the last of the kids were.

If I'm remembering correctly, we've actually only played through 5 simulations that weren't against combat exercises against fellow trainees:
1. Bluebeard
2. Infinicon
3. Melmo's combat sim against monsters
4. Raz
5. St. Vicious

1 we didn't show any reluctance to kill, 2 we didn't kill partly because we didn't have lethal weaponry and killing would have taken longer than simple KO's, 3 didn't really have anything resembling sapients, 4 we didn't hesitate to try to kill Raz (talking to him was just fight banter, it didn't involve trying to get out of killing him), 5 we wanted to complete the mission without calling in a strike because we thought we could do better, and we don't like the idea of calling in an airstrike that would kill civilians.

And as for real-world situations where we killed, we've already killed sentients in the form of the Martians that attacked Castle Barin. It was in self-defense, yes, but we killed those Martians without any hesitation or even any remorse.
>>
>>19659084
We were disappointed, but it was Hina that took it really hard.
>>
>>19659037
Blue beard was a magus not a human
Infinicon we didn't kill
Melmo's sim was against non humans
Raz was a fully thinking human construct
We fought our shadow self
St vicious we avoided civilian casualties and destroyed an alien life form
We didn't see any Martians in the castle barin attack and they were threatening our friends

We wanted to drug Raz which was why we tried talking to him

Every other situation we have hesitated to hurt anything that has no reason to cause us harm.
Like say an AI that is just about the be activated

We didn't kill it but it will cause us a problem because Kraus did so happily. We trust him but this is a new side that Hayate was almost certainly unaware of

Anyway until LG says one way or the other it isn't going to change much

Also the Raz fight he tweeted "you now realize Raz was Hayate's first reall kill and it was up close" we haven't seen anything from it but that doesn't mean he isn't keeping some PTSD in reserve to fuck us with
>>
>>19659084
Where the hell did my post go?
>Plus during the bluebeard mission we took it really hard when he killed those kids

>>19659102
This is true.
>>
>>19659109
>We wanted to drug Raz which was why we tried talking to him
That was us putting Molotov into his tea.
That's pretty much explosive assassination; there was nothing nonlethal about that.
>>
>>19659155
I never mentioned what to drug him with.
I actually wanted to watch him explode from Molotov tea

I am just saying it isn't particularly in our character to pass such things off given our history of these sorts of events with even lesser constructs
>>
>>19659184
And I agree to an extent that our character is far more willing to choose a non-violent approach when possible.
And, if Kraus really did delete a fully sapient AI, and we find out that he did it with a cavalier attitude, then yes, I think we should be a little disturbed by it.
But I don't think that we should flip shit over it like we did when we thought we lost Naru the first time, since part of the reason why we were so invested in her was because she reminded us of ourselves so much.

And as for the loss of NPC constructs in sims, I think our character would be disappointed at their deaths, equivalent to scoring badly on a test (which it technically is, since these are training sims), or losing at a video game.
Be a little sad, but don't lose any sleep over it.
>>
>>19659266
SeeI agree on that point, but I still think it would be more than scoring badly on a test. So far Hayate seems to have a pretty big savior complex where he must save everyone he can because he is afraid of losing anyone

The only time we were truly cavalier about a civvie death was the kids in the Bluebeard scenario but that I think was largely because Hina was in trouble.

That and we still saved most of them
>>
Now for the most pressing issue of all: How do we eliminate our parents as a threat?
>>
>>19659329
Point Nanoha at our planet
Tell her to go crazy
>>
>>19659329
First, we sever all legal ties with them, so that they can't hold any kind of legal hold over us, or put us into contracts of any kind.

Then, maybe pay off with the Yakuza and give them a bonus to 'remove' our parents.

>>19659350
As much as I like that idea, I don't want a black mark to go on her record for our sake.
>>
>>19659360
I like it, it's constructive
>>19659350
Hina's family and that nice little rich girl we met, we have some ties there that we don't hate.
>>
>>19659329
What parents? Our parents are dead. It's the only logical explanation. Thus, who ever claims to be our parents must be either imposters, or zombies.

One we can kick out without any twinge of conscience, and the other we can destroy with impunity.

>>19659360
We should ask Mike if he can do something about those legal ties while we're still in training.
>>
>>19658564
Yep he crossed the world real out, expect something terrible regarding Naru.
>>
>>19659381
Maybe have a death certificate forged, and our old identity listed as dead, while creating a new identity for us in the National Register?
>>
>>19659381
>Our parents are dead
Hayate's parents are fucking cockroaches man, they wouldn't die if a nuke were dropped on them. They'd find a way to sell us to whoever dropped the nuke so they could go on a three day gambling bender in Vegas.
>>
>>19659457
Of course they're not actually dead. Yet. It's an excuse to do horrible things to the "imposters/zombies"
>>
>>19659480
If you think about it, if Hayate and Mio are our great parents in this timeline, would we not be the legal guardians of our parents?
>>
>>19659543
our great grandparents*
>>
>>19659543
I think it doesn't really work that Hayate & Mio are our ancestors in our own timeline. Between Hero of Japan and Best Butler of all Butlers as influences, there would have to be some serious drift to reach the recklessness of Hayate's parents
>>
>>19659631
Well there goes reverse sell our parents as a plan...
>>
>>19659671
What?
>>
>>19659706
Im not sure anymore, came up with it after sleeping through my Roman Law course one day.
>>
>>19659727
We get them declared unfit to take care of themselves and then we take legal custody and sell them to someone! Brilliant!
>>
>>19659861
Eh, let's just cut legal ties. To start with.
>>
>>19659350
But A-tan might still be down there.

That reminds me, where was it we did the scrying from where we saw Bike-kun? Because I've been thinking of maybe doing that again, and maybe using it to find A-tan's ring. Or maybe even A-tan herself.
>>
Honestly I think trying to deal with his parents might be the one thing that sends Hayate into a complete breakdown. They've been in complete control of his life for a very long time and he's definitely not yet over everything they've done to him.

If they turned up suddenly I would expect Hayate to be unable to do anything about them unless the girls were there to save him from them
>>
>>19660133
That's definitely an option, but I like the incredulous rage alternative, which is what I've been suggesting all along with the "My parents are dead" lines.
>>
>>19660133
>>19660369
And then we can get cool sith powers?

>>19660629
Wait, what?
>>

Im under the assumption that any "evil" actions will set us on the way to spawning negayate.

If I remember Fallout 3, killing bad characters adds good Karma, you may just be right... but then again no man is as accursed as the kinslayer.
