You are a Magical Girl, and you've just been asked what your last words would be. At swordpoint by a Magical Girl from a rival faction, no less. In Siberia. Surrounded by demonic ninja superbears, driven mad with bloodlust and the stink of exposed intestines steaming in the acridly-frigid air.The breath you let out mists in front of your face, fogging your glasses momentarily as you inhale.The smile on your lips is a predatory one as you murmur your answer into your headset's microphone - and a madwoman's cackling tickles your ears just as everything goes to hell.
>>20542537You've thought about that question before. Lots of times, too many to count. You don't know if it's just you being morbid, or some misguided notion that someone would actually care what you say when you finally breathe your last. You're not even sure if it's simply wishful thinking, that someone will actually be there to listen while you bleed out in a gutter somewhere, painkillers and blood forming a gruesome slushie in the half-melted snow.What you do know, what you are sure about, is that you've decided on your answer, long ago. You've chosen, in your last moments, to thank whoever finally had enough goodness in their heart to put you out of your misery. To thank that someone who had been brave enough to do what you yourself had been too much of a coward - too much of a failure - to actually do the deed yourself.Depending on who it was, you'd probably be apologizing to them, too. God knows you've made a lot of mistakes - some of them you remember, and the vast majority of them eaten away by the amnesia clouding you mind. Whatever it is you did, you would apologize profusely with what little breath you had left to pull in your lungs.But you would not ask for forgiveness, no. Nor will you ask them to forget what you did. You're no saint to ask for that. They've earned their prize, and you would be loathe to ruin their moment of satisfaction, of catharsis. Let them enjoy the sight of you broken and dying - it'd be the first time you actually managed to do good by someone, anyway.[1/2]
Look what I found.
>>20542542Still, as far as last words go, a verbal benediction to some bygone deity, declaring the imminent violence in his name - it may be a bit too much.[2/3]
>>20542558Everything started going to hell a split second after Wakaba Mirai barely managed to block the snarling, adamantine-toothed beast that was the chainsword Malal. You have no idea how she did it - all you saw was Kharn's silhouette flickering into view behind the rogue Magical Girl, her shape broken by Malal's brutish profile.It seemed that reality took a few seconds to catch up to your friend, too - you registering the sight of the double-rowed, monomolecular,adamantium teeth of the chainblade madly chewing air a moment before its deafening whine actually reached your ears. You felt the impact of the two weapons smashing together, the force enough to have shattered any ten lesser blades all at once, before you heard the actual crash of reinforced metal upon polished swordsteel. And you saw Kharn cackle her own last words before you even heard them over the roar of her chainsaw, over the roar of all the bears launching themselves forward in once concerted effort to murder you.You don't catch it quite clearly, really, but it has something to do with skulls.The fully-loaded M60 in your grasp is heavy and cold, and the Shield on your arm is ticking.This close to death, you've never felt more alive.What do you do?
Bear time.
>>20542564Open Fire.Kill everything Ursine.All of it.
>>20542564Stop time, unlimited dakka works
>>20542564Stop time, ask Pinky if she'd like a new rug, start shooting.
>>20542564[x]Shoot the bears, starting with the ones nearest Kharn.We need to give the choppy lass room to do her work. I'd usually say try to shoot Mirai directly, but there's a reason most games frown on firing into a melee.Also, be ready to timestop if things get worse
>>20542564Bring to bear all our firepower, clearing a path that the dual may start. We'll want to move in quickly to help Kharn, though; who knows what tricks my lie in wait.
>>20542564With all this happening in extreme close proximity, I feel like we need to tap into our inner hare and start summoning an icicle bullet storm the likes of which Siberia will never forget. Start with the closest bear/hostile magical girl, work out from there.
>>20542564OPEN FIRE
>>20542564Open fire, and attempt to time stop ONCE we open fire, so we won't be sitting ducks if it doesn't work.
>>20542564Shooting would be the obvious resopnse;Make sure Midori's behind or to the side of us first; we need clear lines of fire, and having someone keeping an eye on our back is helpful, too.
>>20542564Light a smoke, open fire
>>20542564Mr. Shield is ticking? That a good thing or a bad thing?Anyway, if he'll oblige us time stop would be good. We have yet to use it in a firefight, and shit would be bitchin'Regardless, circle strafe around Midori, firing at the bears as they close. Kharn moves too fast for us to fire into combat, so we play back-up for now, and wait for Malal to do the job. Quick bursts into the bears skulls. Kharn seemed to think a good rifle shot would down one, so we should be golden metaphorically speaking. Call out to Midori to spring up some decoys. Just stay close to our green haired suitor. She's pretty cool, so it'd be nice if she didn't get disemboweled.
Kill them. Kill them all.Additionally, occasional potshots to keep Mirai on her toes may be beneficial to Kharn. It's not like we don't have time.
>>20542564Aim for the heads. Kharn wants her juicy meats not tasting of powder burns.Also, we could get some bitching coat liners made out of Grizzly Fur.
Inb4 panzer
>>20542564>What do you do?Open fire on the bears, starting on those closer to us/kharn.If situation get worse, attempt to stop time.
.... Despite the epicness of last chapter I feel that we have really placed ourselves in a stupid position. At least Deculture hasn't kill us before we got a choice in, however I feel the death flag is rising.
>>20542650It's going up, alright. I'm sure we can still get out of this alive, all three of us, if not a little grizzled.
>>20542625Wrong quest, buddy.Though Deculture did put some Subwitches fanart up on his pixiv.It's really good and you should totally go look at it.
>>20542650Yeah, maybe. We could have played it much smarter, but honestly in the end it comes down to who's better, and considering we've got 2.5 magical girls to her 1, we should be alright. It may have been smarter to retreat to base, gotten some big fucking sniper rifles and had a contest to see who could most effectively cripple Mirai so we could question her.
>>20542564[x] HALT![x] HAMMERZEIT![x] Wave at Pinky[x] Proceed to mimic the Tunguska-Event with your MG and blow a fucking crater into the landscape
>>20542650Well, we have our ability to stop time to tip a fight in our favor - dealing with Pinky afterward would be it's own issue, of course.Mostly though, it'd just be plain ignominious for us to be killed by someone not wielding a golden weapon now. I'm more afraid for our allies.
>>20542676Any chance of a link kind anon? My google-fu is failing somewhat at the barrage of languages sloooowwww eeeenngggliissshhhh is insufficient for.
>>20542564Begin shooting bears in their faces.Only attempt stopping time once we start shooting; there's no guarantee the Time Stop will work.
Overwatch fire. Keep an eye on our subordinate and the worst of them off Kharn.
>>20542573That is disturbingly cuteAlso fuck yeah MGNQ
>>20542706https://twitter.com/magicalgirlnoirThe link to the pixiv is up the top there. You'll need to register to view stuff (all you need is an email).
>>20542696It just that it didn't work during the Kirika fight, but I suppose it was because pinky had placed her hand on the shield or something. Perhaps its because pinky wanted a cinematic fight rather then us killing Kirika with ZA WARUDO!!!
The solution to the bear problem
>>20542564Prioritize targets amongst the bears, starting with the closest ones and then the fastest ones. They're likely going to be charging on all fours, so their heads will make an apparent target; aim for headshots to kill the bears dead on. Keep an eye on Midori, tell her to go for headshots (or legshots) as well. With bears of this size going on a berserking rampage, machinegun and/or bolter rounds might not serve to stagger them. Thus, we need to either shoot out their front legs or pierce their skulls.If things appear to be getting too heated, timestop, relocate Midori and ourselves to a more defensible location, then resume firing. Once all bears are dead, timestop, and fire pointblank at Mirai.
>>20542791Its a damn shame that we didn`t make use of the MiGs, I mean we have 5 of them! We should at least throw one at the bears and make it go boom.
>>20542537>you murmur your answer into your headset's microphoneGoddamnit, Deculture.>>20542564Shoot all the bears.
>>20542794>bolter rounds might not serve to stagger themdo you even 40k?

>>20542829Oh, probably, sure. It's just not the same to have it brushed over like that.>>20542769It's my thought that Kirika's own time fuckery powers were screwing with it.
>>20542829We're warmaster now, right? That means we get the fetching cap, yeah? Do we also get the skull throne? Because that'd be awesome. We'd have even more traumatised teenage hearts to break.
>in b4 time powers don't work yet again because stopping time is a ridiculously broken power that would let any mildly intelligent individual steamroll the competition.
>>20542847You know, we should PROBABLY avoid doing that with our coworkers.They're magical girls. Despair will make them turn into ungodly arcane murderwitches.
>>20542847The fuck? Why would Chiaki want a Skullthrone if she has her very comfy chair waiting for her at home?!

Since then, though, we've actually stayed off even when it would help because Pinky is pretty bad news.

>>20542598 >>20542589 >>20542588The moment you start firing is the moment you start laughing.You...you're not quite sure what you find so amusing, but the sheer lunacy of the situation seems to have struck you enough that you're absolutely tickled by it. Laughing hard enough that you're actually in danger of dropping the bucking, juddering machinegun in your hands - and it takes all of your training, all of your experience, to keep a disciplined firing lane and not spray your ever-dwindling ammunition all over the goddamn place.You're in Siberia, you think to yourself, miles and miles away from home, an entire ocean's width from the ever-dwindling group of people that who would probably visit your funeral (if they've nothing to do on that day, that is). In the middle of nowhere, in a snow-covered forest, surrounded by bears who would like nothing more than to make a snack out of a magical girl - the absolute idiocy of the situation you've put yourself in is incredible. Even by your standards.You laugh as you realize that this is such a stupid place to die in.Of course, that's not all you're laughing at. The bears - for all their bulk, for all their seeming ferocity - they immediately perish as soon as you send a burst of shots at their direction. You thought they'd last a bit longer, being demonic man-eating superbears. Missing large chunks from their skull shouldn't be any problem for them, but from the way they're collapsing to the snowy ground in mid-charge, you suppose they're not as immune to gunfire as you previously thought.Bears. Seriously. Kyoko would never believe this.[1/2]
>>20542996Ah, but see, she LOVES us, and certainly doesn't want anyone else to kill us before she can. In her own little way, her devotion is a pure, unsullied thing. I'm sure she would LOVE if we could just be her little flesh puppet, her pulling the strings as we're mentally trapped in a world of her own devising. We still haven't proven that's not currently the case, even.
>>20543007While it mostly applies to Homura, few things apply to Matsuda. I don't think anyone would describe Matsuda as refined and graceful, aside from maybe Midori.
>>20543007She had the power to stop time, a dozen dead universes to play with, and an obsession powerful enough to spawn a god.There's no way that box isn't checked in.
>>20543003"My Madoka can't be evil!"-madokafag anonymous, 08/31/12
>>20543021>Kyoko would never believe this.We should ask the soldiers back at base if any of them can smoke some bear jerky for us. We can mail some bear jerky to Kyoko, and some choice pieces of bear meat properly refrigerated to Mami so she can cook bear stew.

>>20543037Hahahah five star post!
>>20543007I don't know who that first girl is, and I'm assuming the last is a really bad Homura pic? Shizuru totally fits every box, though. *laugh*
>>20543042Send her BEAR hands
>>20543065No, wait. Kyoko likes those Soviet hats.Have the soldiers turn a bear into a hat for her.
>>20543082Red star painted on with their blood.
>>20543082Do this. ...But also get a normal ushank just in case Kyouko secretly likes bears or something.
>>20543021http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBiBlB-OwCY&feature=related
>>20543082And a bearskin rug, to lounge naked upon while drinking girly drinks and waiting for Sayaka to get home.
>>20543098The first two version are better.
>>20543021Midori, true to her word, is surprisingly keeping good form with the bolter you've given her - covering you from behind, moving in concert as you pivot to pick off the attacking ursine bastards as they get closer and closer - ensuring that no one gets at your six without them putting a fat, mass-reactive round in their throats. And that is no exagerration - you've heard the bassy, rifle-like report of the stubby pistol - and the wet, crunchy explosion that follows it as its unfortunate furry victim falls forward with their head blown clean off, along with half their torso all but sheared away. The rounds EXPLODE as soon as they smash into living flesh, creating a permanent wound channel that no one will be able to walk away from.Wherever your Shield got that pistol from must really be a world of suck if they needed ordnance that powerful.But back to Midori. She's actually picking her shots, instead of firing wildly. A good thing, considering that you don't quite have a spare magazine in case she needs reloading. You figure that as soon as she runs out - and she inevitably will - you'll pass her the M60 as you take something else from your Shield....The Golden Desert Eagle, honestly, is starting to look very attractive at this point.[2/3]
>>20543059Implied Implications - The Incubators incubate puella magi into witches to harvest the energy released when they are fully consumed by Despair. No idea on grief seeds' use outside of 'can re-witchify'

>>20543197Don't give Deculture ideas.
>>20543185Well QB didn't seem that bothered when he told the others that Sayaka was due to expire. You know, the whole 'magical' company does give me some unfortunate implications. Sure, it allows Mami to retire but I think some unsavoury methods are employed to stop the company from running out of prey. Such as:1. Underperforming magical girls are kept in a support role for too long on purpose so they will have little chance of cleansing their soul gems before witching out.2. Witches who have a high familiar spawn rate become protected in order to farm the grief seeds that the familiars will give off when they become witches.
>>20543167And we'll tell her to fuck off. Who needs the flesh of fallen angels when we have pancakes and Kong whiskey?>CAPCHA: yourbis SufferingsQuite.
>>20543197I think there are still more terrifying Mahou Shoujo`s out there than that.

>>20543103>>20543103This must be done and told as the intended purpose of the rug

If there is one you'd prefer over the others, just say and I'll drop the others. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67063575C6FD2AB5&feature=mh_lolz>>20543136>>20543162>>20543185...Are we discussing my twitter post? I had no idea people actually watched mine. QB seems to want the USED seeds, once their full of darkness. But what he uses all that energy FOR, we don't really know. He supposedly using it to somehow prevent entropy, though... maybe he's trying to used the seeds to gather corruption, which is a form of entropy after all, then eats it to 'destroy' the stored entropy as a power source or something?
>>20543283A trap.
>>20543245It'd explain how Kilgore got his supernatural charisma, Rasputin imbued him with it. And then Kilgore used his gift to seduce that magical girl and steal the Golden Bracers.
>>20543103What about a comfy bearskin chair, or at least a bearskin cover to put over our already comfy chair.We'll have a lot of bearskin, we should use it.
>>20543298No, no. The bearskin rug is a GIFT for Kyouko.Why would we lounge around naked drinking girly drinks and waiting for Sayaka when we could be lounging around naked drinking Kong straight from the bottle and waiting for liver failure?
>>20543258It has been my theory that, in the original show, the entirety of Mitakihara Town was a project of QB's to create and environment condusive to witch harvesting. Make a town that people get really into building up, where people feel they can really put their heart and soul into making a good place to live, like Madoka's mom (who's snap wish is to kill her rivals). But make it just boring and perfect enough, and people start to chafe, like the woman Mami saved.This creates a world where the women who built the place have strong hopes and dreams, collectively wishing for a better world that QB can provide. They burn out, though, as the trials of building said world eventually become too much, and turn into a witch that their daughters have to clean up. TLDR; QB smiled and girls died.
>>20543288Yep. Wanted to talk. 144 chars too small, and no spoilers there. Because of Reasons, i suspect that he gains the power at the moment they witch out, which does make his interest in the seeds somewhat odd.Also, his stated reason is that mahou shoujo tears are a form of energy not limited by thermodynamics, so he can harvest them to pump into the fabric of the universe and stave off Heat Death. Whether you believe that entirely is a matter of faith, shall we say?
>>20543298..Why would you try to improve something that is already pretty much flawless? Don`t you fucking dare tinkering with the comfy chair!
>>20543294That wasn't the question I was asking.
>>20543283That's a Zombie!
>>20543296But that would mean Rasputin would be a Golden Weapon wielder, or at least one of the people who wants one.
>>20543353It's the main character from Kore wa Zombie Desu ka.Have fun.Polite sage for not on topic.
>>20543124The both of you continue to dwindle Siberia's unchecked bear population with bullets and bolt rounds - but you stop laughing as soon as you come upon an unwanted revelation: each bear you kill, each ursine threat you dispatch is somehow replaced by two, or three, or more. Reinforcements roaring in even before the bodies had hit the floor.They seem to be coming from all corners - loping, springing from the surrounding trees, their bulks crashing into each other as well as the ring of bear corpses now forming around the clearing in their haste to rip and tear and devour magical girl flesh. It's almost as if every demonic bear in this godforsaken shithole had been alerted to your presence - and seeing how Wakaba Mirai seemed to have the bears earlier in the palm of her hand, that may not be a far-off possibility.You take a moment to look at the Magical Girl duel that you've been studiously ignoring ever since you started shooting - and you find yourself smiling again, despite the fact that your chances of survival are slowly dwindling.Kharn is having so much fun right now, you almost feel jealous.[4/5]
>>20543363Oh god damnit I f-ed up the spoiler tags. Is it no s?>>20543328Seems at the same time alien enough for a race like the Incubators to get into that blows our pitiful human minds, and also like total bs. Heat Death, at least as I understand it, is caused because the universe is expanding away from itself, meaning eventually everything gets too far enough away to form meaningful atoms anymore.Unless maybe their fighting Dark Energy or something, which... kind of sounds like a magical girl villain, so I suppose that would work.
>>20543363Your understanding of entropy is incorrect.It's basically the tendancy for systems to move towards equilibrium. Or, to put it another way, if there are differences, time will make them less.The heat death of the universe is an evenly distributed soup of elementary particles of equal energy.
>>20543363Heat Death is different from the Big Crunch, (iirc, that's the one where everything flings itself apart.)Heat Death, in my layman's understanding, is that no reaction producing work energy is perfectly efficient - therefore, in a few gorillion years, all the energy in the universe will have been converted to unusable forms and all creation will freeze over into perfect entropy.
>>20543378I can imagine kharn having a look of adorable unadulterated glee on her face while blood and corpses start to pile up. DRAWFAGS!
>>20543401No, the Big Crunch is the one where the mass of the universe is sufficient to stop it's expansion and cause it to collapse in upon itself again.
>>20543353Ayumu Aikawa, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?
Do we still have the Tiny Pete invocator?
>>20543408Then what's the flingy one?
>>20543378Wakaba Mirai is clearly experienced with her massive broadsword. Wide enough to serve as a shield and sharp enough to cleave rock and steel, her strokes are swift, clean and practiced. Her calm, composed face focused and determined as she attacks, blocks, parries and ripostes. Despite the unorthodox weapon in her hands, you see a classical pugilist's education at work here, and it's beautiful in its own right.Kharn. Now, your former partner is something else. As far removed in style, poise and technique from Mirai as anyone could possibly be - Kharn is an absolute terror with Malal in her hands. Each chop, each slash, each brutal hack is made with horrifying force that you see Mirai's entire frame tremble with every blocked impact. Her movements, while devoid of Mirai's studied grace, has the no-nonsense fluidity of a hardened specialist - one unafraid to use everything and anything to her advantage to win, but at the same time would cripple herself just to make things a bit more interesting.A sudden clinch between the both of them - and you see Kharn sent skidding back a few feet, Mirai trying to gain some distance from the obviously crazy swordswoman. A motion of her free hand, and a particularly large specimen of Ursus Maritimus intersposes itself between them. Your former partner merely laughs at this, before suddenly moving forward - flashing Malal across the monster's front. Cleaving it in two, from belly to hip, and shouldering her way through the twitching, bleeding remains. "WHAT SICK GIRL SENDS BEARS TO FIGHT KHARN?!"It doesn't look like she needs help at the moment.What do you do?[]Help her anyway. Give Midori the M60 and help Kharn out.[]Continue killing bears. Kharn's got this one in the bag.
>>20543416Can't recall the name off the top of my head.
>>20543401>Heat Death>everything freezes overNon-indicative name indeed!
Everything is worse with bears.Time to toss a russian warplane at them.
>>20543378TERMINATOR TIME
>>20543396>>20543401Ah, so a similar idea that I'm getting slightly wrong; so many ways for it all to end! >>20543416>>20543423Apparently the Big Rip. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip
>>20543401Wrong. Heat death is when all the matter in the universe spreads out so far that it cannot interact with any other matter. Energy ceases to flow from place to place and the entire system becomes perfectly static. Nothing happens forever the end.Big Crunch is the opposite; it is a reverse Big Bang.>>20543416There isn't one.
>>20543416>>20543423Big Rip.
>>20543298What about bearskin minikini under a bear fur coat and bear fur scarf? the perfect outfit for the comfy chair.
>>20543422[x] Time Stop, kill bears, activate Tiny Pete's beacon.Kharn's handling Midori just fine, but we're slowly being overrun by bears.
>>20543422[x]Continue killing bears. Kharn's got this one in the bag.But if we run out of bears to kill all bets are off.
>>20543422>[]Help her anyway. Give Midori the M60 and help Kharn out.Summon Tiny Pete and then take out Mirai. She's the one summoning the bears, they're probably not going to stop appearing until Mirai is dead.
>>20543442>>20543436>>20543435Okay, scientists officially have too much time on their hands when universal eschatology is a valid field of study.
>>20543422Can we push the button for Tiny Pete? I think it is probably time to push the button for Tiny Pete.Otherwise, keep shooting bears. Even if she keeps replacing them, that's gotta be burning power, and her magic's not infinite.
>>20543422[x] Help her anyway. Give Midori the M60 and help Kharn out.Don't suppose we can keep an eye on Midori during this. I'm just hoping taking out the leader will make the infinite bear army break.
>>20543332There is going to be enough bearskin to make a lot more than one rug.I'm just proposing we get a ton of bearskin furniture, you know...for swag.
[x] Help Kharn.The sooner Mirai drops, the sooner the bears will stop coming.
>>20543422>[x]Summon Tiny Pete to kill bears fast because guns are too slow.Take her skull, Kharn!
>>20543422As unbearable as it may seem, we need to stop the slaughter and get stuck in. If we don't stop Mirai, we aren't walking away. We need to tip the odds in Kharn's favor, somehow. Maybe we can cover Midori as she makes an illusion to give the appearance of two Kharn's or something?
Continue with the bear killing. Kharn is fine. Have to focus on not getting swarmed. Might be time to start using the timestop.
>>20543422>[x]Continue killing bears. Kharn's got this one in the bag.Get in contact with Misaka and the rest. Are they back at base arriving there? If they are, tell Misaka to attach a beacon or GPS device to Tiny Pete and have him teleport here. He would be very useful here, if nothing else than to keep Chiaki and Midori safe from bears that get through the line of fire. Once he teleports to our position, the rest of the base can send out whatever reinforcements they can spare to Tiny Pete's tracked location.
rolled 14 = 14>>20543469This. We do need to get more data for the little arms dealer.
>>20543422[]Continue killing bears. Kharn's got this one in the bag.Pull out a flamethrower and boombox set to play disco inferno on a loop
>>20543422[]Help her anyway. Give Midori the M60, push Tiny Pete button and help Kharn out.
>>20543443Bear fur Bikini while lounging in our chair might give our Assistant the wrong idea, as comfy as that sounds.
>>20543422>[X] Kharn's got this in the bag. That's no reason to not summon Tiny Pete though, if all the bears are here then he is no longer needed with Misaka. So +1 for DEEP STRIKING.
>>20543458It appears there is at least five valid options, with the last two being 'fuck if we know'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe#Theories_about_the_end_of_the_universe
>>20543422>[x]Help her anyway. Give Midori the M60 and help Kharn out.We must take out Mirai to stop the bear rush.And no golden gun.
>>20543422Kill Bears. Pull something new for Midori if she's running low on ammo.
>>20543498Fur Bikini party with Kyouko, Sayaka, Mami and expensive booze?
If we're going to help Kharn out, we might want to see if we can safely teleport Tiny Pete to our location without compromising the group that is returning to base. Midori's doing a good job of covering Chiaki's back, but there are a lot of bears around. Tiny Pete, if he has some firearms on him, could conceivably fill in for Chiaki while she goes to snipe at Mirai.
>>20543507Correct me if I'm wrong, I've missed the last few threads. Is no one using a Golden Weapon here? That... seems... odd, considering. If not, this fight is likely just round one, where everyone ramps up to high, golden, gear.
>>20543529This is only going to end in a giant pile of drunken magical girls on a bearskin rug, you realize....You have my full support.
>>20543535IIRC Bear Girl is using a golden weapon.
>>20543547GOLDEN BEAR!
>>20543547No, she's been explicitly indicated to not be using a golden weapon, or having the telltale black eyes.
>>20543547No, it was said explictly her sword was silver.Still, we need to end this fight before attrition gets to us.We need to call Tiny Pete in, pass Midori the M60, then snipe at Mirai.
>>20543547No she is not.It has been explicitly confirmed that it's a normal weapon in one of Deculture's post.(well unconventional but not golden)
>>20543547Bear girl is, quite specifically, not using a Golden weapon.She's just here to kill us because it's her job.
>>20543570Actually, she's here to kill Midori because it's her job.She wants to kill us too because she's a huge dick. Apparently we are one of the ten least dickish MG's in this world, which is an incredibly depressing fact.>Captcha, that is greek. I can't type in greek.
All of you saying to summon Tiny Pete. He is escorting Misaka right now and will teleport back on us when he is finished.We won't remove Misaka escort so stop asking to teleport him back. He'll do it on its own ASAP.
>>20543563>>20543567>>20543569ExplicitMind
>>20543594Shit, son. If he's off doing a escort mission, WE LEAVE HIM THERE. Sure, we might get mauled, but frankly, I think it's more in character for Chiaki to care about Misaka MUCH MORE then herself if there's the chance of Misaka getting jumped without help.
>>20543422We've already prepared for this, remember.>Chiaki stole five MIGs>That's as many as a wing>And it was terrible
>>20543632We need a drawfag to do pic of this,
Help Kharn occasionally, but keep blasting the bears. We're allowing breathing space and once Mirai's down, it doesn't mean the bears will stop coming to us.
>>20543529This will never get enough votes due to being waaaay too far down fantasy lesbo lane. But one of the drawfags may draw it in the future regardless.
>>20543644
>give M60 to midori>grab another belt-fed>continue killing bears>also culexus-anit-bear-illusions GO! (might even turn them on eachother)
>>20543660oh lord that pilot!
>>20543615>>20543594But Misaka doesn't need an escort. Show me exactly how you know, categorically, that she is in danger or that her military escort (which already contains a truck with treads, and a large number of armed russians who've fought these bears before) even requires any protection?There is nothing that suggests that Mirai has sent any bears after her, she is here for Midori and Midori alone, even we and Kharn are only peripheral to that objective. >[X] Summone Tiny Pete
>>20543660>>20543666I don't know what's the better picture!
>>20543686It will be getting better. I'mma be stuck on a train for seven hours, Sunday, so I'll do the blueline and cleanup then.Dunno if I can be bothered actually colouring this one. The shading/highlight pass on the Murderface Experience was a pain in the arse with my graphics tablet out of commission.
>>20543683Let's leave her alone and everything will be fine. In a Noir setting.
>>20543660No i meant a picture of Chiaki dragging the Migs away on a cart like that picture of Lex Luthur stealing 30 cakes.
>>20543666>implying Kyouko with glasses isn't cute
>>20543718Kyouko is always cute!
>>20543806It finally gets used! This has been a favorite of mine since you did it!
Damn it, why haven't we time stopped yet?....ok.Midori is going to run out of ammo, we are knee deep in bears, and Mirai seems to be holding her own.Get Midori to use nightmare mode to confuse the bears senses, especially their sense of smell. I am sure that Mirai is too busy to direct them.
>>20543288Mehhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQp8GWdpYug
>>20543854That's worth downloading, and I don't usually download videos for PMMM.
>>20543806She is cutest in the nyan nyan pic
>>20543915Deculture summoning.
see if we can sick the bears on there master with illusions?
>>20543936Courtesy of nicehatguy. Not sure if I've said it yet, but nice picture.
>>20543936
>>20543459 >>20543457 >>20543452"Sempai, I'm out," Midori says matter-of-factly behind you, and despite the slight edge of panic in her voice, she's being commendably calm for stating that she's just run out of ammunition in the middle of a firefight. One that's looking nowhere near finished, with more bears clawing their way to top of the hills of corpses your firing lanes have made in the clearing's perimeter.Wordlessly, you pass her the still-smoking M60 - by your estimate, it's still got around a third, slightly less than half a magazine's worth of ammunition - and you immediately rack your Shield as your green-haired subordinate continues where you left off.The Shield dispenses...something you had hoped it wouldn't dispense. It's Kirika's Muramasa, the XX Golden Weapon. And unlike the Desert Eagle, where you find that you could easily hold it without going insane right off the bat - just holding the Muramasa in your hands is enough to make your entire body freeze, your heartbeat thudding in your ears, the roar of blood blocking out everything else.You find yourself swallowing hard - your throat dry - as you grasp the handle with one hand, the sheathe gripped tightly with your other. The dying rays of sunlight reflecting off the brilliant golden blade, making it blaze as you unsheathe it little by little.So beautiful. So deadly. It's...you have no words. You have to use it. Your entire body is aching to cut something with it. Anything - a bear, a Magical Girl...even the Betrayer herself. Anything, just so long as it cuts into flesh...[1/2]
>>20543975It's then that you hear Midori scream from behind you, her pained shriek interlaced with a guttural roar - and you whirl around to see a rather impressive specimen of Ursus Maritimus standing over your subordinate, about to give her a sound mauling. Its jaws already opened wide, teeth already crimsoned with human blood. The two mangled sections of what was once a properly-working M60 lying by her feet.What do you do? You have mere moments to react before Midori dies.
>>20543981Drop the sword like a fucking hot potatoe and RAM Midori out of the way. NOW.
>>20543975
>>20543981Piss.>[x]Stop timeHi ho, Pinky. You said to come visit, so i got you a teddy bear.
{X) FINALLY FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS TIME!inb4 millions of pussies who want to let her die to avoid this
>>20543981FUUUU-Cut a bitch. Bisect the bear, Kirika Iaijutsu style.Sigh. We are so getting a bad end for this.
Drop weapon. Grapple bear.
>>20543981Time stop for fucks sakeMove Midori out of the way grab another weapon ( non golden ) and blow that thing away
>>20544006That *causes* her to die, genius. Along with kharn, and pretty much anyone else within line of sight
>>20543981Timestop. Bisect that bear.
>>20543981Shoulder check Midori out of the way.
>>20543981Stop time, cut the bear in two. Unfreeze time, and then say, "Once again I have cut a worthless object." as the bear falls apart.
>>20543854>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQp8GWdpYugThis is AMZAGING, and added
>>20543981Well great time for me to catch up.Use the sword on the bear. Then use the sword on more bears.Try not to get carried away and use it on anything that isn't a bear.
FUCK! Save Midori! Time stop, I don't care! Save her!
>>20543981URSUS MORTISEND THEM ALL
>>20543981Kill her ourselves. Better we do it quickly than she gets savaged an half eaten by a bear.
So time for those visions to come true guys? Yep lets kill errything.
>>20543981Throw the sword at the bear, preferably aiming for the eyes, before racking your shield for another couple of weapons. Gets the thing out of your hand and distracts the bear for what will hopefully be enough time to rearm your and Midori.I just hope the replacement weapons are not the two remaining golden things...
>>20543981one cut, one kill.drop that fucking bear
>>20544039Oh they will be. We are boned anyways so lets just kill errything.
>>20543981Nope, next weapon.
>>20543981Timestop and don't wait for it before cutting up the bear.We'll get another weapon once the bear is taken care of.
>>20544046One cut=us turning into Kirika 2.0.
>>20543981Lets do it. Time stop, cut bear to ribbons, release time. "If, upon my travels, I should come across God, SHE TOO WILL BE CUT!"
>>20543981fuck that katana, i vote we risk Pinky and use timestop to get both Midori and ourself out of the way and re armed with something else.if anything meeting Pinky in timestop is preferable over going insane and potentially killing allies.i really want to avoid using those golden weapons until we know more about 50/50 test.
>>20543981Throw the sword like a motherfucker. Technically we aren't wielding it. Also summon TIny Pete for fucks sake.
>>20543981STOP. TIME.Then put back that damn cursed sword and use the shield unless it gives you something usable like an automatic shotgun or a flamethrower.
>>20543981I'm thinking we we not use said sword.If not timestop, then go for another weapon.
>>20544067Because guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.
>>20544018That was a dream stop being a pussy use it and save her.
were going to be using these things anyway in trains might as well start now.
>>20543981Timestop. Shove the katana up Pinky's… whatever. Just dispose it.
>>20544058We have no choice.Slice the bear, then timestop.
Oh welp. The flesh of fallen angels. Then get rid of the sword when Midori is not being mauled.
Smells of Chikuwa...
Timestop. Shove Midori out of the way. Fill bear with boolets.
>>20543981stop time. then handle this like the operator we are
>>20543378I would have gotten this done a lot sooner if SAI hadn't become so freeze-prone on this PC.
>>20544118One of these days, Chiaki has to eat some.
>>20543981Throw katana through the bear's head with all the might and magic you can muster. Then roll next weapon.
NEXT MISSIONPut a "In use/busy" indicator on tiny pete's cross.
>>20544126So we can see how meta we go?
>>20543981[x]TIMESTOP. We can't afford to be picky when a friend is down. What we do is THROW the katana at the bear during timestop, ridding us of the weapon and attacking in the same motion, then draw something else to finish it.
>>20544082Dude, this sword's version of hello was to say to us"Hey, hey. Hey guy. You know what would be fun? Murder. Let's do that, yeah."
>>20544125Doesn't she have a bolt pistol? Either way, incredible! I love the full color no outline thing!
>>20543981[x] Throw sword like a spear at bearThat we we don`t use the sword and the bear is probably dead anyway.Either that, or we`ll have to fight a giant mutated killer-bear with a golden Katana.
>noir>thinks we can always get a good outcome without sacrifice.ffs USE THE SWORD we avoided shooting that bitch sayaka we can handle using it a little bit.
>>20544167It is a pistol, it just looks really big in the hands of a teenage girl.
We are. Better than this damn sword. We can use it without it using us. And we will use it first on the beats, then Mirai, then Kharne will take our arm off with Malal.
>>20544166http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBM-UNjEP-Q#t=44s
>>20544167A bolt pistol is bigger than an MP-5 for an idea of the scaleIt may be called a pistol but it isn't built like one
>>20544183Lol.Yes, precisely. If we want to save Midori, we need to do it without using the most powerful tools at our disposal, because they'll turn us cartoonishly evil. That's the difference between sacrifice and waste.
>>20544166what we don't enjoy murder now? *COUGH* MURDERFACE *COUGH* we love murder. we will be the swords master not the other way round
>>20544216In a total non-chucklefuck fashion, I think we CAN master the sword, we don't have to fall to it's power.We're just now finding things that we have to live for, to die for! We have a reason to pull back from the brink, to forge a path to our future!We're BETTER then Kirika, damnit! I want to prove it.
>>20544118... and this quest started late too....
>>20544223If you really believe that, i have some bottom land to sell you...
>>20544257It is Friday in Deculture land
>>20544118Plausible. It is pretty late for Deculture now.
>>20544253This is not your average fantasy demon-possessed sword that you can tame with enough willpower. Those things CORRUPT by touch.That'd be like saying you can fight nuclear radiation by will alone.It doesn't work and you are rapidly fucked.So no, no using that golden shitstick.
Inb4 Next time on SWQ!
>>20544302Wrong quest, buddy.
>>20544302Lol
>>20544298But willpower can triumph over all! That's what mahou shoujo animes teach us!
>>20544096Changing my vote to using the sword, but NO TIMESTOP, I think timestop will end up amplifying the corruption received as we will be in the same space as pinky.
>>20544298wear gloves. problem solved
Considering that we seem to be split down the middle, it could just be taking Deculture a while to actually type up the post...Yeah... that's it... we're definitely not going to get chikuwa'd...
>>20544298Well, we have to choose. Do we risk corruption and insanity and risking killing our subordinate right after we save her, or choose to save our sanity and have her die for certain?
>>20544334This ain't your normal mahou shoujo series.Nor is it based on one
>>20544365I was about to say something similar, then I caught the name.
>>20544358We can easily have our cake and eat it too. Just timestop and move Midori to a safe location. No corruption, no dead subordinate.
>>20544345Well, that has proven to work on all corrupting weaponry before->90% of characters who use them wearing gloves or gauntletsWait a minute.
>>20544358You know what would have helped to avoid this situation? If we'd brought Tiny Pete with us, instead of leaving him to do nothing. God, it's almost worth being in the horrible situation just to know vindication.
>>20543981 one of of our standing operating procedures is to not use the golden weapons.Us going on a killing rampage right after we save her would be mission failure. Next weapons for god's sake. fuck I missed most of the last two trheads too.
>>20544387Timestop is it's own corruption causing reward. In many ways, I'd say the threat posed by the Golden Weapons is such that we are being HERDED into using Time Stop as much as possible. Pinky wants us to visit, afterall.
>>20544389>implying this wouldn't have happened any way, just slightly differentlyCry moar faggot
>>20544389Good chance if we brought tiny Pete with us Midori still would have ended up in this position and Misaka could have been in danger.Best option would have been to tell her no you must go with Misaka and her giant robot buddy
>>20544151Chiaki's ranged stat is much higher than her melee stat, so technically she might actually be better off throwing it than swinging it.>Super Robot War mechanics
>>20544365If you`ll call Madoka a "Deconstruction" I will find out where you live and violently murder you and your family.
>>20544404you think Pinky has to come during time stop. I think she just uses time stop so no one else notices her when she visits.
>>20544389He's escorting Misaka.Even if you weren't in the whole cutesy thing, the fact reamins that she gives us good guns.Frankly, I'd rather have him covering her than possibly getting knocked around by these bears.
>>20544400Being intent on not using a golden weapon almost got us killed once before, if we keep wasting time chucking them every time we get one, one of these days it's going to bite us in the ass. I think we're stuck either using the weapon, or using timestop to give us time to switch.
>>20544389You know what would have helped to avoid this situation? If we'd insisted that QB to lend us a platoon of powered-armored soldiers with heavy flamethrowers and 5 Eversors, instead of just bringing Midori and Misaka. God, it's almost worth being in the horrible situation just to know vindication.
>>20544365>>20544334I would trust her. She obviously knows what she's talking about.
>>20544434>>20544420I'd rather have tiny Pete save Misaka then new girl.
>>20544431Puella Magi Madoka Magica was a deconstru--- HEHEHEHE, this button is just too tempting to push! You silly man you, you're making me flirt with danger!
>>20544443Everytime we use a Golden Weapon, we get corrupted more and more.That's part of Pinky's plan.We sacrifice tomorrow for today.
>>20544431Not that guy, but, to be fair, it contain certain deconstructive elements, in regard to the magical girl genre.Much as I despise the postmodernist claptrap associated with the word, it CAN be used in a way which has meaning. It just frequently isn't.(Fuck Derrida.)
>>20544431Nah I won't claim it is a deconstructionIt is anything but an average mahou shoujo series though. Darker for one
>>20544417Is this what you ordered? It's your own brand!
>>20544463It's ultimately a reconstruction of sorts, as well.
>>20544457Push it! Harder!>>20544444But that wouldn't make sense for the situation we were in to start with. Not that you're wrong.
>>20544460But like I said, we aren't always going to have time to fumble for another weapon, and we may get someone else, or ourselves, literally killed to death if we keep waffling every time the issue comes up. In that case, that'd be sacrificing a liiiiittle more than just tommorow!I say timestop for a weapon switch if we do it.
>try timestop it jams>Midori dies>bear atttacks us. forced to use sword>timestop kicks in super curroption/grief insues>sword murder everythingI'd be ok with this
With all this debating, we may get Chikuwa'd.I can see it now, a non-quest related discussion thread, and a million voices arguing whether to ditch the golden sword or not.
>>20544400>>20544417>>20544420>>20544460Too lewd.
>>20544457>>20544502It's true, you can do Better than that. You couldn't be Faster on the uptake though.
Waiting for deculture to post.
>>20544483Well, yes.Deconstruction does not form entertainment unless subsequently reconstructed. It's just an examination of the workings and mechanics of a given form.Hell, talking about a show as "a deconstruction" is kinda misleading anyway. It's evident that deconstruction has OCCURRED, prior to it's creation, but without the creators subsequently going "and having now worked this out, we can do This Different Thing", there is nothing entertaining there, it's just how "Form/Genre X works".
>>20544538
>>20544538Hmmm. Are any of you writefags cool enough dudes to tackle "Waiting for Deculture"? It's one of the only constants in the threads thus far.That and Decu being awesome. Worth the wait
>>20544553>Using a bear image macroI see what you're doing there.
>>20544569I could just post one of my stories from my twitter account. Is that cool enough?
>>20544571Just bear with it.
>>20544581And no, I'm still working on that SOL Bear Hunt, so don't ask.
>>20544581Ugh, I guess. God, you expend time and effort making cool shit for us, and you expect us not to be fussy. Attention whore.I've probably read it myself, but I'm sure other anons would be interested
>>20544589I bearly have the patience to wait for Decu's posts in eager anticipation, I have none for your puns.
>You now realise that the last Deculture post was over an hour ago. He's not coming back guys. So, do you think I should go and play Sleeping Dogs or conqure Western Europe as Mazovia in EU3?
>>20544581Are they smutty stories? (Please be smutty stories.)
>>20544636Play sleeping dogsIt isn't half bad and I just despite EU
>>20544637Or smutty pictures from pixiv
>>20544603http://sharetext.org/5ao4http://sharetext.org/ENMDSomething quick and funny for you. Otherwise...http://sharetext.org/ENA8>>20544637I have exactly 1 (one) smut story for you: http://sharetext.org/EYUQ
>>20544032 >>20544021 >>20544007No time. No time to worry about corruption. No time to worry about how it may reduce you to a drooling, black-eyed, snarling monstrosity the longer you hold it, the longer you think about using it. You have no time for rationality, no time for second thoughts, and certainly no time for regrets.You launch yourself at the bear as you clumsily reverse your grip on the thrice-damned pigsticker of Kirika's - and you grit your teeth as you shove your right arm, shield and all, into the roaring bear's mouth. There's a horrific crash of enamel digging into polished metal as the rabid Ursus Maritimus tries its level best to bite into the Shield-shaped treat it's just been forced to fellate. It's just too bad that you forced the Shield into its mouth lengthwise, the shield's entire width preventing it from fully closing its jaw on your arm and making a snack of it.You take advantage of the split-second moment of confusion and helplessness as you quickly and brutally disembowel the bear. Stabbing the great furry bastard right in its gut, before sawing the blade back and forth in quick workmanlike cuts upward and then to the side. The beast begins to trash and howl and claw at you as you start carving its insides as it stands on its own two feet - but you ignore the deep, jagged cuts its claws make on your back and arms as you stubbornly hold onto it, all the while murdering it while it stood.It's only until you hear - and then see - its intestines fall out in thick, wormish ropes slick with gore that you finally kick off of the slaughtered creature - and it falls back, lifeless, its entire front slashed open and torn out, just like its victims.[1/2]
>>20544657I vote for this.
>>20544673AHHHHHHHH!!!Its that story where Kharn rapes us.Imagine if if Deculture actually tries it in the quest, /tg/ would go crazy.
>>20544645Yeah I think you're right, I got it today and it's the limited edition so I should really give it a spin. Besides that, Mazovia isn't really challenging enough to play as. OK guys, remember: we have MiG's and a giant robot to call on. Don't let Midori die! Limbs can be replaced. That is all, good luck and godspeed.
>>20544695Whoa, you've read it before! Yeah, if Deculture does it, /tg/ would flip a lid.
>>20544691Time to drop that shit like it was on fire
>>20544673Ooh, stuff I haven't read. Thanks!
>>20544740Too late, the durptards have sealed us into killing everyone in the area now.
>>20544740Too late for that. Now that sword fully corrupts us and we kill erryone. BAD END TIME.
>>20544758>>20544767your tears are delicious.
Just...how many people is in this thread? its like all /tg/ is here
>>20544758>>20544767Hopefully (I stretch this word out like a prayer) we won't be locked into bad end.
>>20544758Oh boy, time for more "things aren't going how I want them to" arguments & name calling.
>>20544787This is noir. All ends are bad. You just pick the flavor.
>>20544758It's noir. The character means well, fucks up, and everything goes to shit until the climax of the story. Let the noir flow through you.
>>20544767>>20544758We had no other choice, the bear was about to chop Midori.We just have to wait if we really have reached the bad end.
>>20544691You look down on your victim, barely breathing hard, barely feeling the sting of the many cuts your victim had gouged out of your flesh, through your uniform. You barely even take notice of the green-haired whelp screaming your name as she grabs your arm, begging you to drop the sword, to come back to her.You only notice the remaining bears as they warily circle the both of you, now. You only notice the two Magical Girls trying to kill each other at the edge of the clearing. The cursed one clearly having the upper hand, here, despite her broken form. Despite her heretical form.A few more moments, and it's then that the brilliant one breaks away from the clinch - clutching a grievous wound to her side. Her inferior weapon, a silver plaything, is riddled scratches and gouges, from the broken one's beastly weapon. She is hobbling back into the forest, leaving a blood trail, trying to escape."WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HERETIC?" You hear the broken one shout, chilling laughter in her voice. "DO NOT RUN AWAY! COME, WE HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT!" She tries to give chase, but is hobbling - each step causing her to limp, sparks flying from one of her curiously-made legs.You lick your bloodied lips at the thought of ripping her heart from her body and devouring it.What do you do?[]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.[]Hunt the broken one. While more dangerous, her heart is purer. Her flesh will taste better.
>>20544781Meh this quest needed it anyways.
>>20544808>Third Option KILL ERRYTHING.I actually wanna see this now.
>>20544673Posting smut has summoned Deculture! Hooray! Although now I have to figure out how to save the day despite having a boner.
>>20544808DROP. SWORD.DROPSWORDDROPSWORDDROPSWORD.
>>20544808The brilliant one threatened our subordinate. She must die.
>>20544808>[]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.Mirai is the one causing these problems, end her. Ditching the sword, use a gun.
>>20544808Wow! Using the golden weapon was a bad idea.Who knew?Kill magical bear girl.
>>20544808[]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.The broken one is crippled and cannot run. The brilliant one is fleeing at speed. We can hunt the broken one later, she won't go anywhere.
>>20544808[x]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.Get the job done.
>>20544808I feel this is appropriate now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-qI4nFDod0[x]Hunt the broken one. While more dangerous, her heart is purer. Her flesh will taste better.
>>20544808fuck, which one is which?
>>20544828Or, failing this.[X]Hunt the brilliant one.
>>20544808Might as well [X] Hunt the brilliant one, sort our shit out and kill someone we meant to killAlthough attacking Kharn could end in her bitchslapping us out of thisOr free [X] toss the golden pigsticker we decided to be a retard and use
>>20544808[]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.Survival of the fittest. We can deal with the heretical abomination later. For now, we drink the bright ones blood so that we can whet our appetite for the main course. A little sideshow before we cut to the heart of the matter...
>>20544850Changing vote to first option.
>>20544851Brilliqnt is Mirai, Broken is Kharn
Hunt the brilliant one.On a side note, as a proponent of more NOIR! and using the sword I didn't expect things to turn quite this psychotic this quickly.
>>20544808>JWHQBKJDHBQWDKJB!LD[x]Realize that it'd be more hilarious for your sense of sadism to instead pull out a long rifle and use it to leg the brilliant one, thus letting the broken one catch up to her. You'd have to drop the sword to do it, but it'd be a totally bloodthirsty and sadistic end result!!!!!>Long shot.
>>20544808Time to slaughter everything. YAY!
>>20544808hunt brilliant
>>20544808Get rid of the sword.
Going after Kharn while she's enraged and we're possessed sounds like a sure fire way to get killed.Go after Mirai. Hopefully seeing Murderface chasing after her prey like a bat out of hell will shock Kharn and calm her down enough that she knocks some sense into Chiaki.
>>20544808>[x] Neither. Drop the sword. Third option is the only option.
>>20544883Like i said ONE CUT = Us turning into Kirika 2.0.
>>20544808[x]Hunt both. a shame wasting such an abundant banquet.
>>20544883Same. I figured we might have issues, but I was hoping that it wouldn't escalate quite this fast.
>>20544808>[x]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.But not with this golden man-claw we hold. We must use our bare hands to squeeze the life out of her, else the taste will be tarnished.
>>20544808[x] drop the fucking sword, because as much as we've fuxked up our life, it was through our own choices, and we will not be controlled.
>>20544929>>20544883>I knew it was a terrible idea but did it anyway
>>20544929It seems to vary depending on the level of stress and how chaotic the combat conditions are around us. But at the same time, it also fluctuates. We can come down from this if we really try!
Okay. Important safety note for future reference!We DO NOT use golden weapons until we have found out if that 50/50 shot on preventing us from going batshit actually works or not.DO NOT.
>>20544883Congratulations you are officially a retard.Anyone who did not see it coming miles away is the same
>>20544808>drop it drop it drop it drop it DROP IT!>remember that nightmare!>ANYTHING! SDJSDHDSASi don't like this turn of event please make it go away!but if this is going to happen than we might as well:[]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.and be a little bit helpful while bungee jumping down the bridge of sanity.
>>20544929SO this proves that sword = 1000% corruption, while the gun and gauntlets dont. Huh.
>>20544884This.
>>20544691[x]Brilliant one. But this sword isn't our thing. We should ditch it in favor of a gun. >Roll the dice on not getting the goddamn DE, though.
Those suggesting dropping the sword:This is the sword thinking.It thirsts.
>>20544954>>20544959There isnt a chance in hell of us coming out of this alive without having gone full FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS. Pinky would be so proud/disappoint.Also since Midori is fucking with us she wont survive this anyways. SO yay that was a waste of fucking time.
>>20544961See: >>20544953
>>20544808Drop the Sword, or otherwise go after the remaining bears.
>>20544961Havent used the bangles yet though
>>20544850How about this?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ9tbIApWrs>A quick look at the weapon confirms it's not a golden blade - rather, it is an ornate silver one, with brass gilding. It's wide enough to function as sword and shield at the same time.>A few more moments, and it's then that the brilliant one breaks away from the clinch - clutching a grievous wound to her side.

However we will not sully our perfect blade with her blood. Take the rifle given to us for hunting animals, and let her die like an animal.
[]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.we wil consume her heart and gain her power to summon bears!also leave the skull for kharn

>>20544808[X] Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.Do not go after Kharn.Actually drop the stupid sword, grab a rifle and blow out the brilliant one's knees from a distance.
>>20544808[x]Hunt the brilliant one. Her blood is pure, even if her heart is not.With any luck we'll come back to our senses before taking her skull.
>>20545056this suggestion has merit
Out of curiosity, could anyone here make some Doom Homu macros in the spirit of Doom Paul? That feels kinda relevant right about now.
I love how everyone is trying to trick the sword into being dropped. At this point the sword is US and WE are the sword. Someone else has to get it away from us. THAT aint happening without us dying or slaughtering everyone we love.I wish i could find the popcorn.gif , this trainwreck is hilarious.
>>20544808Also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=PL96BED409B6841D6D&v=iJuQaMZOuPk
>>20545089Doom Paul? I think I know what you mean, but could you confirm it please?
>>20544842 >>20544836 >>20544831The brilliant one. Yes. No quarrel with the broken one, she is a comrade. A friend. No, more than that. She is a part of you, a part of yourself that you're hanging onto very admirably. It's commendable, really, how your kind refuses to let go of the things they very well should.[Sempai! Sempai, please listen to me! SEMPAI! PLEASE, LET GO OF THE SWORD!]You ...you do not wish to see the broken one hurt. You will not hunt her, you will not sup from her wounds, you will not taste her flesh. You are sure of this. Perfectly sure, even with her propensity for betrayal.The brilliant one. Yes, she must die.[SEMPAI!]You should shut up whoever's shouting at you. She is getting bothersome.No? Why not? Her screams were fine, earlier. Full of fear and disebelief. But it is just getting annoying, now. She is disappointed. She no longer trusts you. It'll only take a second to slit her throat. No more voice....No. Don't fight back, Murderface.We're having so much fun together, aren't we?[]Get...get the fuck out of my head, Kirika.[]...
>>20545140[X]Get...get the fuck out of my head, Kirika.I ain't killin my green waifu for you or anyone else.
>>20545106Personally I think we shouldn't go near either Kharn or the other one, and instead stay with Midori. But good luck getting the rest of the anons to look past the options they're given and try to come up with an alternative. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
>>20545140GET OUTTA MA HEAD KIRIKA
>>20544808[x} Fight the corruption. Regain control.THROW THAT FUCKING SWORD AWAY.(then pick up a normal gun and cap Mirai's ass)

Did we ever brief Midori on gold weapons? She's obviously freaking out but I don't remember when we ever told her.
>>20545187Fairly sure we did.
>>20545172it may be a body destroyed by alcohol and painkillers but it is OURS!
>>20545165Not bad. If we still had the +5 modifier for being drunk, we would have been able to resist killing Midori.Shame, that.
>>20545110Well, I don't have any saved, but they're the pictures of Ron Paul, normally his head, except extremely discolored and with some kind of ominous text like>You could have prevented itSometimes accompanied with fire.Oh, Google knows what I mean.https://www.google.com/search?q=doom+paul&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=jRNBUKrNG-6GyQH80oDwAw&biw=1600&bih=704&sei=kBNBUPqTOMGNyAGnqYCgCA

>>20545214Or will it be the so far nameless girl he took them off of?
Evict Kirika from mindspace. Chiaki's messed up enough without Kirika in there too, goddammit.
>>20545224It's not a bullshit way out, that would be if we were just about to kill Midori or Kharn or what ever and then at the VERY LAST moment had the choice to abstain. Then it would be both bullshit and cliché.
>>20545224BAWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>20545243>>20545243How about both?Although I think that an axe-crazy yet hilariously blaxploitation-esque Murderface would be a bit too out there for this quest.
[ ] Focus on love of WHISKEY PANCAKES to evict the bitch
>>20545224>A BLOO BLOO BLOO Y U NO MAEK UR STORY AS I WANT U 2
>>20545288Murderface Experience Drawfag reporting. You motherfuckers.This isn't going to leave me alone until I have drawn it.
>>20545316Will she have an afro?
>>20545261Sadly yes it is. Deculture stated as soon as we grabbed the sword that we suddenly and out of nowhere gained a DEEP desire to kill things. This i can only assume from our behavior is NOT NORMAL. But /tg/ went ahead and saved Midori with the sword. And then when the sword fucked us up /tg/ started crying like a schoolkid whom realised hes about to lose his lunch money cause he did some stupid on the playground. Deculture caved and gave us a way out. Seems bad to me bro.>>20545278Yes,yes your tears are delicious. Than you.
>>20545288>golden weapons>axe-crazyPic fucking related.
>>20545316Sir, your Murderface Experience drawing was amazing. If you do this, I will grant you my firstborn child or something.
>>20545316Be sure to listen to both of these songs for inspiration. Actually just listen to both Madworld's and Anarchy Reign's soundtracks as they are awesome.Look Pimpin'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfgUfqeSxg8Days of Oldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PtAcuBS5B4
>>20545321No, but she will have a pimpin' hat.
>>20545352I actually spent about 90% of the time I was working on the Murderface Experience listening to Ain't That Funny on repeat.
>>20545365Classy, one of my favorite songs from that soundtrack.
>>20545331Very well then, what would your alternative be? The last time Chiaki went full FOFA she didn't get a chance to stop (IIRC) but she also didn't target any of her allies (or consider targeting them, rather). As such, I think this is just the gradual progression of the madness seeping into Homura, which is at about 66% now. Kilgore and Kiraka both killed several people before they went (even more) crazy and their eyes turned black, so it stands to reason that since we've killed a few with golden weapons we're getting nearly there. But go ahead and tell about how you know everything about writing n' shit.
>>20545343Dealing with black market human traffikers is too much time which I could be using to draw. Just sell it and send me the cash.
>>20545446Not to mention Kirika spent a lot of time talking to pinky.
Murderface Experience drawfag, do you have a gallery somewhere?
>>20545522Used to. Died in a php related hosting cockup with Gallery2's autoupdater. I do have a shitty portfolio site at icff.net, but it's not really got all that much actual art up there.
>>20545172 >>20545158 >>20545153This is hilarious. What makes you think you're strong enough to survive this little fetch quest our pink lady's sent you on?You had to rely on a CHILD to kill me, Murderface. What does that say about you, hmm? Making a fourteen-year-old do her dirty work for her? Not really Warmaster material, if I do say so myself.Just give it up. It's much easier if you do. You're not the first to fall for it - and you won't be the last, either. Why fight it when it's going to be an inevitability instead?Well. You're stubborn. That's probably your only redeeming quality. Fine, go play around - it's not like you'll have a choice next time. You're just as corrupted as we are - and you'll be joining us, just like the rest.. . ."You stupid bitch." You hoarsely rasp through a throat that feels like you've just been throwing up battery acid for the last four hours - and you find yourself on your knees, a puddle of dried, crusted blood soaking into the snow below you. Muramasa lying a few metres away from you, its mirror-like blade stained a slight pink from all the blood it's been slaking itself on. "...Do that again, and I'll kill you a second time."You growl this out to the empty air, expecting the dead to spit it back at you.
>>20545446My alternative? Let the trainwreck happen. Deculture isnt a bad GM. Hes probably done this before. So how does he respond to a player practically killing themselves? I guess its this way.>>20545464Pinky is always FAR more focused on us than anyone else as far as we know. We've spent a good deal of time with her too. The fact that we have a Golden Gun speaks to that. Im honestly surprised we havent seen her show up yet. This seems like the kind of thing she jump at the chance to fuck up.
>>20545541No response. Whatever that was - whatever it had been, speaking in Kirika's voice - it's gone now, gone back wherever it came from.Good. Good. For fuck's sake, that voice of hers never really left you after her retirement. The mere thought of it made you physically ill - and it's in full effect now, especially after she almost just made you kill your former partner.It's only then that you finally realize that something is clasping you around your waist, hugging you close, shivering all the while, kneeling on the same snow-packed ground as you. You blink wearily as your eyes focus, and you see your subordinate latched onto you like her life depends on it.It's also then that you see the long, bloody gouges on her arms, as if something had tried to cut their way out of her grasp."N-not leaving sempai," You hear Midori's pain-choked sob, the girl's cries muffledby your bloody and tattered uniform. N-no matter what happens, I'm not letting go..."What do you do?
>>20545560Hugging is the only reasonable option. Hug her.
>>20545560We need to find out what the situation is. Hugging is all very nice, but not if we are about to be eaten by a bear.Has Kharn taken that skull?
>>20545560Rack another gun into hand. Assess situation, what is Kharn's status? And the Bears?
>>20545560cry.
>>20545560Holy fuck I'm liking Midori.Assess the situation.
>>20545140
>>20545560>pat Midori's head>"Guess you saved me this time." In typical dead-pan tone>give a thin, shaky smile>collapse from blood-loss
>>20545577We've been kneeling on the ground not moving for several seconds, and have not been eaten by bears. Mirai is in retreat. I think it's fair to say we're safe for a while.
>>20545560off with her head
>>20545560It's a stressful situation, so we go back to basics.Professional mode activate!Assess the situation, whilst grabbing another gun. Make sure we're not about to be bearied.Oh, and pat Midori on the back awkwardly with the free hand, and whisper to her "Thank you for watching my back"
>>20545560Grab the fucking first firearm that is near you and snipe the fleeing bitch. There is a time for hugging and headpatting but that time clearly isnt now!
>>20545560Hair ruffle. "Alright, Midori. I'm… myself again. What've I missed while I was… out?"Also tell her to keep herself safe now, whatever she must to do that.
>>20545560Rack another weapon out of our shield and see where the bears and Mirai have gone to. Place a hand on Midori's head. "I'm back, Midori."
>>20545560It's okay Midori, I'm back. Thank you. Assess the situation, determine Mirai's location, acquire a firearm, preferably a rifle, from our shield if necessary. Murderize the fuck out of Mirai.
>>20545560asses situation, hungry bears surround us still?was Midori injured by the bear mauling her gun or did we afflict those wounds while trying to go kill brilliant bitch over yonder?
Thank Midori profusely and reassure her that everything is fine now.
>>20545632Seconding the professional response, assuming we can stay conscious.
>>20545331Have you ever stopped to consider that the golden weapons aren't like a light switch, and that there's still some wiggle room in how much control we can maintain depending on the circumstances? We managed to avoid blowing Sayaka's brains out, after all. Thinking that taking the sword is INSTANT GAME OVER despite there being no proof of this, and then when that ends up NOT being the case, claiming that he MEANT to give us a game over but then changed his mind at the last minute, is kind of stretching your assumptions a little. Keep in mind we're supposed to be collecting twenty of these things, as the plot goes on our chances of getting stuck with one are going to grow from here. If a lot of the weapons will dead end us upon use, this is going to be a short fuckin' quest.
>>20545692>this will be one fuckin' short quest.I... I think you're onto something, anon!
>>20545636We were slowly cutting our way through her.
>>20545679So a: "Midori? Midori! I'm fine now! What's the situation?!" followed by thanks when things hace calmed down and there's no more danger of getting nom'd by bears?
>>20545560[x]Get out the first non-gold gun we can find, pat Midori's head, say "Cuddling's for after hours, kid, let's move." and book it the way Mirai and the bitch went.
So, doesn't this incident imply that, in the case Chiaki kicks the bucket, she can just possess whoever wields the golden deagle? Because I'm getting ideas.
>>20545705>Pornography flashbackI didn't mean that kind of fuckin'!
>>20545721That'd be a pretty creative way to have extra lives.
>>20545560Wait, don't the Golden Weapons leave permanently scarring wounds?
>>20545741She's got her feet, doesn't she? We've got our arm, don't we?
>>20545728Too late, Mortal. I have been inspired through my libido and misunderstanding to write another glorified fapfic. ...Yes. Perfect.
>>20545692But keep in mind it gets harder to resist each time.It isn't an instant GAME OVER, but we get closer and closer to a bad end everytime we so much as hold one of those Golden Weapons.
"What happened?"
>>20545741Well, the Katawa Shoujo people got a boner for her when she was in an injured state before..... Maybe she'll move up on the Waifu scale.
>>20545747Counterpoint: Kyoko's eye.
>>20545741If you're referring to Kyouko's eye, that was done before Kirika got a golden weapon.
>>20545760Yeah, I meant to imply that, I was just trying to explain that to the anon who thought we actually DID just game over there and started whining when it didn't happen.
So what happens when we duel wield the sword and our deagle?
>>20545791EVERYONE IS FUCKED.
>>20545791Twice the crazy, twice the fun. Twice the traumatizing poor Midori.
>>20545791No survivors.
>>20545560Well.. maybe its just me but I think Midori turned out pretty well and we avoided Iori 2.0. Hell, she even apologized herself for bothering us with that shit and if you take the scene right now into consideration I think she earned herself a round of Soulgem-Licking.
>>20545791Kirika whispers in one ear Pinky in the other and we go double insane?
>>20545791Something along the lines of this but with more bloody, bodies, maniacal insane laughter and Pinky.
>>20545791Hey, wait a second.The Golden Bracers alter their size to fit us....
>>20545692Which is why we need to avoid using them at all cost. EVERYTHING that has been shown to us about these weapons has told us that they dont take long to drive you from semi-sane Magical girl to FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell QB told us a few threads back Kirikas levels of corruption went from ~11% to near 100% moments after she received the sword. MOMENTS. Not days, not weeks, mere second after she touched it. It probably took Kilgore a little longer because he was not magical, and the gauntlets werent made for him. Hell we ALMOST KILLED some when we got MAD with one in our hand. Thses things are NOT worth the cost of using them, and the way they have been talked about, they ARE a BAD END if we use it for more than 3 seconds. Hell the whole reason we are in Siberia right now is to try and find a way to make it corrupt us less. But this is before that. And /tg/ made the mistake of using the weapon to kill something before we got there.
>>20545818>that .gifHaha what
>>20545813Given the genre and how dangerous things are in general(including the danger posed by, erm, ourselves) we should probably avoid getting romantic with our partners.Also, just going for the friends-with-benefit hedonism route wouldn't be a good idea either when it comes to her at least, because Midori's soft enough to really not do well psychologically with those mixed signals. And even if she thinks she can handle friends with benefits, she might not be able to at all and things will turn out bad.

>>20545893One of the very few genuinely funny japanese comedies!
>>20545631 >>20545624 >>20545577You hold yourself perfectly still for a moment, trying to fight back a wave of nausea you're pretty sure is from blood loss - and it's then that you move to carefully extract yourself from Midori's grasp, murmuring to the desperate girl that you're...back, now, wherever you came from. You're not going to do anything weird any longer. The danger has passed.If anything, she only wraps herself tighter around you, as if absolutely unable to take that risk, that chance that you may not be telling the truth. You try again, a bit more firmly this time, and it's then that she finally lets you get back onto your feet - but she does not let go of your arm, her fingers curled around what's left of your sleeve.You refrain from saying anything else as you ignore the luster of the Muramasa a few feet away - and a quick racking of the Shield nets you a Glock 17 with an extended magazine. it's a fully-automatic one, from what you can see - and you carefully, slowly, pan the firearm around you.The bears are gone. What's left of them are...well, lying in pieces around the clearing. Mostly your handiwork and Midori's, with some help from Kharn. The forest itself is quiet; not even the telltale roar of Malal to break the silence.You offer your bloodied arm to Midori to hug tighter to herself - and it's then that you try to raise your former partner on her frequency. You murmur her name into the dead, static-laden channels a few times before you get a response. An exhausted-sounding response, but one nonetheless."Murderface? You are still alive?" A guffaw. "Then truly we are reunited! I was dreading that you have gone much too soft, and fell prey to the Enemy!"[1/2]
>>20545887She also openly admitted to being in love with us a few minutes ago. So the friends with benefits wouldn't work well at all.
Anyone want to bet the enemy is Pinky?
>>20545901You refrain from mentioning that it almost came to that. Instead, you ask her where she is, so you can link up and get the hell out of here."Up further north from the clearing. ...Hnn. You are in right path, I think. Just go straight." A sigh from Kharn, and then another laugh. "This has been a bothersome day, but it has seen me with yet another addition to my collection. Another one for my throne - but haha, who makes a throne out of skulls, Murderface? It does not sound stable at all, and you need quite a lot to even make the simplest stool! Plus, comfort! How can you sit with all those face bones digging into your back, into your ass!"...Ah. So that's why the bears are gone.You congratulate her on her new acquisition, and you share that you'll be making your way shortly to her. She agrees, saying that she won't be going anywhere for a while - and it's then that she cuts the connection off."I...sempai, I thought I was going to lose you..." Midori murmurs brokenly, clutching your arm tighter. "I...I didn't know what to do, except to hold on..."You have no reply to that, you find.You can only thank her, for now. Anything else stills feels much too unfamiliar.
>>20545887>>20545902..Huh? I never even suggested to have sex with her. Just to lick her Soulgem for a job well-done.
>>20545954Yeah, we can do that.Unlike the crazy tongue trick Midori... somehow knows.
>>20545954
>>20545954Why do you think /tg/ is so pissed off about the whole sword thing? Cuz Anon wants to waifu Midori.
>>20545954... you do know what licking a soulgem basically is?
>>20546006Shit yeah I do
>>20545954>lick soulgem>not sexindeed. its more than sex.
>>20546006Kharn >>> MidoriIf this was an argument, you would be wrong.
>>20546006I'd rather mend fences with Iori myself. Who gives a shit about waifu'ing?? The Dame usually ends up dead or put on a plane/train/ship in noir.
>>20546006No. No wafius, wafius are bad. They will only get hurt by us ;_;
>>20546051>Who gives a shit about waifu'ing??Fa/tg/uys with hormonal imbalance
>>20546036Mami+Kharn+Midori >>>>>>>> Kharn
Alright, I can't really type anymore. D:We'll have to pause for now!Thank you for your participation!
Do I smell Chikuwa?
>>20546051Even if one hates the whole concept of potential waifus, we should mend fences with Iori sometime just because it's the right thing to do, at the very least. Besides, we might end up working around her again when we go back so at least it'd be nice if we could be civil, if not friends.
Hey, I just thought of something.>It's then that the Incubator nods. "Which brings me to my next point. Matsuda, you're right. These things ARE dangerous, and they do corrupt. I would say, given the limited information I have now, that the golden sword itself may have corrupted Kirika. I've been looking at her Soul Gem readings for the past month. Her gem was past the point of recovery, and she had never used a grief seed ever since she registered the sword as her personal weapon. She should have expired long ago, but yet we know how she was when you retired her."With Kirika somehow coming back from the dead to taunt us in our mind.Does that mean the Muramasa has become the new housing for Kirika's soul? Do the golden weapons take the victims souls from their soul gems and place it in themselves?
>>20546090Goodnight Deculture! Sleep well.
>>20546090Thanks for the thread, Deculture.Now get some sleep before you collapse.
I can finally sleepGoodnight tgDeculture, you both are awesome beyond words and a bastard for keeping me up so late the sun is nearly coming up
>>20546103Exactly my point.
>>20546090Thanks for the game! Do more art next time!
>>20546090Thank you for staying up so late to run the quest, Deculture! You're the best.
>>20546090Thank you! Thread was awesome! My favorite thread since Pinky accosting Chiaki on the plane!
>>20546090Great session as always.
>>20546090YOUR THE MAN Deculture! I don't exactly know what your timezone is, but it most be approaching morning.TAKE YOUR REST. YOU EARNED IT.
>>20546090No problems, thanks Deculture!This is the longest MGNQ I think we've had so I can't blame you.
"As your new Warmaster, I promise free whiskey soul gem licking to the magical girl with the best record this coming year!">ntoAfro butOk, captcha is concerned about hair
Since Midori played a pretty big role in today's thread, I'm taking the liberty of posting hers too.
>>20546013>>20546033...Wellllllll. I don`t think that tongue-fondling her soul is the same as having sex with her.
>>20546216It gave her a rather sexual orgasm though.
>>20546090Redt well. You deserve it.
>>20546090Thanks Deculture, brilliant thread. Grab some rest.
>>20546249Damnit phone, stop making me typo.Rest well, Deculture.
>>20546090Thanks for the thread Deculture. This one was particularity long/exciting.also anon archived it, don't forget to vote as usual:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Magical%20Girl%20Noir%20Quest
i'm loving this quest, its like i'm really riding the full Murderface experience!
God dammit you guys, I pass out halfway through a thread and wake up to see we fell for the "I AM AN OBVIOUS TRAP" option hook line and sinker."No, don't worry, we can handle the sword. It'll be fine, it's just one bear. Oh no there's no other choice but to do the obvious and obviously terrible idea."I am moderately disappoint. Whatever happened to all-consuming paranoia of our golden gifts?
>>20546622Personally, I didn't want to risk Midori, who has really grown on me over the past few threads, getting nom'd by a bear while trying for a new weapon so I sort of freaked out.Sorry.
>>20546090Oh, and thank you, Deculture, for soldiering on to finish the bear hunting adventure.
>>20546622Wrong choices are a big part of the fun, Anon.
>>20546727Grumble grumble grumble.Personally, i'm just miffed with the few that were like "No, 'sall cool. We're not going to Bad End at the speed of light, we're just noiring it up. Being noir is suffering."NOT QUITE, LADS.Anyway. Do try to remember that we're not completely constrained to the options with the lovely [x] tags, and that golden weapons are always a terrible idea in the future, alright comrades?
>>20545829Calm down, bro. We'll end up in situations where we'll have to use them anyway, so as long as we don't go out of our way to use them we'll be alright.We're destined to collect all 21, so we can't be scared of them. We already told off Kirika and dodged the BAD END in our dream. Rolling the dice is fun sometimes. If we crap out, one more reason to hate ourselves.
>>20546622There simply wasn't time, man. It was either toss the sword, or write off Midori, and people just weren't quite willing to write off Midori yet, I guess.
>>20546836While i do grant you that, i would still rather have us fall for the subtler pitfalls. The obvious ones just make poor murderface seem... bumbling.
>>20546923I maintain that option 3, Timestop, was the least of our available evils. At least there the corruption and dismemberment has a speech check.But yes, things did end as well as possible once the sheer scale of how badly we were in trouble became apparent.
>>20546964Actually, does our Time Stop even work right now?Sure, Pinky can activate it, but that's because she's a demi-god. I think it bears testing once we're safely back in the R&D Facility. If it doesn't work at all anymore, then that's important to know. And it'll cut down these kinds of after-action criticisms.
>>20547072Well, she SAID it does. We haven't tried using it since it failed against Kirika. I think because of both "it's borken!" and "OhGodPinky".
"OhGodPinky" is not a detriment for some of us!
