You are Shy-chan, a roleplayer who is hopelessly shy and nervous.

You awake at 8:00 AM. You check your phone and have a single message on the machine. You have a session scheduled for 1:00 PM today, and Friend-kun will probably come to pick you up at 12:30 PM.

So you have 4 and a half hours. Wat do?

>>
>>20869519
>>20869521
Because you havent eaten since... Well, you skipped dinner last night so it has been quite a long time! And having vomited, it feels like even longer.

You check your fridge. There seems to be the basics; Butter, milk, eggs, cheese, and a pound of ground beef. You live alone, so you have never felt the need to have too much more. Checking the cupboards, you see several boxes of cereal. Your stomach grumbles once more, so you resign yourself to the quick route to satisfying it and fill a bowl of cereal.

You munch down the food then wonder if maybe, other people have to eat too. You have the essentials to make almost anything, and the store is only about a block away for anything else you might need.

What do you make?
>>
>>20869637
Hmm what to make. We want something hearty enough for a long session, transportable, easy to eat and unlikely to make a mess.

Assuming we have a casserole make some Shepherd's Pie or some nice Baked Macaroni and Cheese.
>>
>>20869763
Ooooh, Shepherd's Pie.
>>
I think some Brisket is in order....
>>
>>20869850
We don't really have enough time for brisket. I mean you need a smoker, and even assuming we have one I like giving it more than 4 hours in the smoker.
>>
>>20869837
>>20869763
So, we Shepherd's Pie, or something else?
>>
>>20869867
We got like 4 and a half hours... plenty of time... and i'm sure there's a store we can get the stuff!
>>
>>20869956
lets go delicious, brisket
>>
>>20869956
>>20869942
I'm still going for Shepherd's pie. It's easier, heartier, healthier and it seems less likely that we have a smoker just lying around instead of just needing an oven.
>>
>>20869997
It is true, you live alone so you never felt the need to buy a smoker.
>>
>>20870010
But its Yom Kippur tonight! We need a delicious brisket to keep us gorged until we're done being sad and pentinent!

Well, you live alone, in an apartment.

Unless you want to convince me that a shy person living alone in an apartment would have a smoker, I dont think I am railroading too hard.

Also, just going to keep this out there; If anybody thinks they could do a better job writing this out than I, feel free to tell me and I would be willing to let you do so. This is my first quest and I am doing it based on a random discussion we had last night.

Pic related is that discussion, and the only notes I have on this.

>>20870278
(Alright.)


You make a quick run to the store, to gather the last few materials you need. You are back quickly and get to start on cooking.

(Now, decision time. I have already decided the the combat and roleplay mechanics in generally will be entirely toned down, rolling being non-existent for the most part. This is going to be more of a Slice of Life quest. But now we have an opportunity. Should I have people roll to decide the outcome of basic things we do? I think that because we are a shy person, it may be appropriate to require anything we do that is "outgoing" to require a roll of some sort. So like cooking now is pretty outgoing. We are doing something for the people we know rather than being recluse. So, shall I include rolling for this type of thing?)
>>
>>20870359
I'm cool with it.

Ok then, lets do it this way. I will prompt people to roll, at which point, roll 1d100 for high.

Ill take the median of the first three rolls.

You throw the ingredients together. You found a recipe online, and the guy seems like a trustworthy author. You taste it before you put it in the oven, and it tastes pretty good. You hope your friends will like it.

You stick it in the oven, and set a timer for 45 minutes. It is now about 8:30.

Wat do?

>>20870486
If you want to roll of that go ahead.

On the other hand, there was another group of people who are looking for a good "We get the guy, and Slutty-san becomes our best friend" ending.

I dont particularly care how this ends up. Im just acting as a medium to make it happen.

This seems like an okay compromise. It's dangerous to attempt a skill check with a high target DM while using an untrained skill anyhow, so if we do something small, it'll set the DM very low!
>>
>>20870909
Alright, so we prettying ourselves up then? If we were doing something major, I might make "You make it worse" and option, but if it is minor it is either "It is adequete." or "Somebody noticed and liked it!"

So lets say roll with a difficulty of 50 for whether anybody notices it.

So regardless of the third roll, it wont matter. This is why I like medians.

You put your hair up in a with a headband. It isnt your usual hairstyle, but it isnt too out there. You do hope that somebody notices it though. You spend half of an hour adjusting it, looking at yourself in a mirror, then thinking it looks wrong and adjusting it again. Eventually, you just settle and leave it alone.

It is now 9:00 AM, and Friend-kun wont be here for another 3 and a half hours. It is Sunday, so you wont get any mail today, and you always have your work for college due on Tuesday.

Wat do?

Alright, I guess the dice have spoken.

Though, for the future, I would prefer you only roll when I ask for it. It shouldnt be particularly often, and I dont really like when I decide things based on random factors (Such as now) rather than a consensus.
Your biology work seems to be due soon. You have always been interested in people, even if only from a scientific viewpoint. You also figured it would go along with your mother's request of "Just go get a damn job," if she became a doctor. Your Chemistry work isnt due for a while after that, so you think it would be more important to focus on the biology. You pull out your textbook, blow off the accumulated dust, and get to work. You get part of the way through it when you hear your timer ding.

You check on your Pie, and it seems to have turned out wonderfully. It looks too excellent to taste now, so you decide it would be best to save it for later. You simply slide the entire pan into the fridge for later.

You get back to work. You arent really interested in this section of the book, so you just read it and do the work off hand. When you finish, you get up and stretch. It seems a couple of hours have passed, and it is now 11:00 AM. Lunch is quickly approaching, and your session will begin not long after that.

>>20871423
Like I said, please only roll when I ask for it. Which isnt now. Studying and talking to yourself are highly shy, and therefore in character. So they dont need to be rolled for.


You start to wonder what they might think. The group never decided that you should bring food. You decided of your own free will, and what if they dont appreciate it? What if they had already eaten and were full? Oh god, what if somebody eats it, and doesnt like it, or somebody doesnt want to eat it because they are worried that it might be bad. As you think of all the possible ways this could work out, your head starts to spin. You sit down on your sofa, and as if by some sort of cue, there is a knock on the door.

Wat do?
>>
>>20871524
Do we have a peephole? Obviously we peek out the peephole first
>>
>>20871524
peephole seems like a thing we would do
>>
>>20871551
>>20871548
You remember that you had a peephole installed. You look out into the hallway and see a very familiar face. Friend-kun appears to be in our hallway, even though it is only 11:15.

Oh god, what are you going to do?
>>
>>20871580
invite him in! subtly ask him if he is hungry. we pretty much made the Shepard's pie for him

>>20871580

Uh um erm I suggest nothing? Make him wait till noon and then answer the door and swear we were sleeping
>>
>>20871630
he has been our friend since our childhood, i dont think we would have him wait outside.
>>
>>20871580
Fret for another minute or two.

THEN let him in.
>>
>>20871655
now this is how we would react
>>
>>20871580
Call out asking who it is.
open door, but not too eagerly.

(we're shy, guys, remember)
>>
>>20871678
No you fool friendkun can clearly see that we have a peephole on the door
>>
You step back from the door for a second. You shake your head back and forth for a minute, wondering why he is early. This doesnt work with out plans. You sigh softly, resigning yourself to let things happen how they happen.

You open the door for him.
"... hi Friend-kun."

"Oh, hello Shy-chan. Sorry I stopped by early, but I was wondering if you wanted to come to lunch with me. A friend of mine got hired at a restaurant recently and offered to let me have a free meal. I figured they wouldnt mind if I brought a guest."

Wat do?
>>
>>20871698
we didn't think of that, because his unprompted arrival has us flustered
>>
>>20871732
oh lord oh lord panic attack panic attack

>>20871732
Subconsciously make a laundry list of excuses NOT to go, but then imagine Slut-san going with him and instantly agree
>>
>>20871732
Friend-kun must have somehow known Shy-chan would make AWFUL, TERRIBLE FOOD and has concocted this story just to avoid it without hurting her feelings! Oh no, oh no, oh no--HIDE THE PIE, HIDE THE PIE, HIDE THE PIE.
>>
"Uh...o-ok"
Leave the pie. Friend-kun is going to eat anyways, so he wont want it afterwards. Don't bother bringing food.
"It was a bad idea to begin with..."

(Great threat OP. I'm loving this.)
>>
You cant think for a moment. All that comes to mind are all of the reasons you should not go. Then you remember that he is a close friend. He just wants to go out to lunch with his friend, and there cant be any alternative meaning behind that. Why would we say no in that case?

"... I didnt have any plans, so I could come..."

"Great. I hear the food at this place is excellent, and jobs working there are pretty well sought after in the service and food industry."

After agreeing to go with him, he gives you a moment to get ready.

You have about 5 minutes to do what you might need to do.

Wat do?
(I am just going to skip the essentials, so assume you are dressed casually, showered, finished with the restroom, etc.)

You grab the basic things you usually bring when you leave the house. Your keys, your phone and your wallet. You also grab your Dicebag and character sheet and put them in your purse, in case you dont have time to come home before the session starts.

You go back to the hallway, and Friend-kun is already gone. Checking outside, you see his car and quickly make your way there. When you reach the car, Friend-kun opens the passenger side from his seat. You quickly get in.

"So Shy-chan, is there anything you wanted to get done today? I had no plans after lunch, and if there is something you need or somewhere you need to go, I would be willing to give you a ride. After all, Im going to need to pick you up again before we go over to DM-bro's house.

You just mean the euphemistic spaghetti in her stomach she's about to literally spray out of her mouth in white knuckled horror when she realizes how amazing this ALL-AMERICAN APHRODITE-LIKE WAR WIDOW is and how she's going to TAKE FRIEND-KUN AWAY FOREVER LEAVING YOU TO WITHER ALONE WITH 99 CATS AND A DEAD GOLDFISH.
>>
Oh no, they must be really close. She is getting him a free meal, what do you have to offer? It is probably best that we just stay quiet and hope to vanish.

... Nope, we are still here. Alright, here she comes. She looks pretty. Not overwhelmingly gorgeous, but certainly prettier than we could ever be. Then she greets him.

"Hey Friend-kun-kun! You didnt tell me you were bringing a guest. Dont worry, I will still get you both a free meal. Just give me some warning next time!"

With this she skips away, most likely back to her job.

"Yeah, sorry, I forgot to warn you. She can be a bit cheery. I also told her to knock it off with that Japanese Honorific nonsense, but she doesnt seem to get the picture."

At this point, the Maitre d' returns and tells you that he has a table ready for two.

You reach the table and look at the menu. It appears to be an Italian restaurant, on closer inspection.

Wat do?
>>
Telling us to get out there?
Reconnecting with war buddies?

Oh god friend-kun is going back to Iraq because he doesn't like us and he's trying to tip us off and hoping we get lost so he can leave and be with his war friends and we'll never see him again oh god why.
>>
>>20872579
ask friend-kun what he thinks is good, he has better taste than you can ever have.
also comment how pretty the waitress is.
>>
>>20872620
>also comment how pretty the waitress is.

No we musn't ever do that.

>>20872579
Let's avoid seafood dishes like pasta and shrimp and lean towards lasagna.

DO NOT ORDER SPAGHETTI

I actually quit a game my brother invited me to not too long ago.

I wanted to be included and to hang out with everyone but the DM wanted us to actually roll play so it wasn't just him talking to himself. I stopped having fun whenever it was made to be my character. So instead of pretending I was adding anything to the group, I left. That made me sad.
>>
>>20872655
And this is relevant to...?
>>
>>20872676
relax bro, its obvious its a mistake. the guy should delete the post though
>>
>>20872685
I was just hoping for a convoluted tie-in.
>>
So, what do?

I still need a clear answer.
>>
>>20872712
order lasagna
>>
>>20872712
Order a salad and water. Gotta stay skinny for friendkun
>>
I agree with >>20872758, nothing crazy lkike lasagna or spaghetti
>>
>>20872758
We also must remember drinking the soda outta spite so we might try the spaghetti or something Friend-kun thinks we would like
>>
You decide on the lasagna. Just then, Waitress-chan shows up.

"Hey Friend-kun-kun, have you two decided on your orders?"

"Lets see, Ill have your Chicken Alfredo, and what do you want, Shy-chan?"

"... I guess Ill have the lasagna..."

"Excellent choice, our lasagna is fantastic," Waitress-chan chimes in.

"Maybe a salad and some waters just to tide us over."

"Of course, Ill have that sent right over. Now if you'll excuse me."

Food crisis, averted.

"So Shy-chan, how was your morning? I know you werent feeling well last night, so I hope you are feeling better today."

At this point, the salad and water have arrived.

Wat do?
>>
How about some kind of pasta. The kind that doesn't come with pink sea-bugs.

In fact, just open the menu and pick the first thing you read that DOESN'T include some major meat component. Don't forget to mangle the name.
>>
Begin to hyperventalate slightly because friend-kun is obviously going to replace you with her and then his war buddies will get him to reinlist and hhe'll die and we won't know for 3 months because no one tells us because why would they tell us I mean we're not fun or interesting to talk to or anything.

TL; DR mini panic attack
>>
>>20872812
"I'm feeling much better.

I'm sorry for making you take care of me all the time."
>>
I like raviolis.
>>
>>20872812
"I spent my morning doing something stupid"
then change subjects, ask him what he did in the morning.
>>
>>20872812
Talk about what we did, but skirt around the pie (badly)
>>
>>20872812
Lie and say you spent the whole day studying. And then change the subject, oh balls, change the subject.

Oh, and pick at the salad. You came here to eat, remember?
>>
>>20872812
I-it's not like i was sick or ah-anything
I just dont usually... drink. you get used to it dont you?
>>
>>20872848
Seconded
>>
>>20872874
Yeah, you can't mention the pie though. That would be too confronting.
>>
>>20872823
Hnnnnnnnnng

this

"... well, I woke up and had food on my mind so I made food and ate and stuff... I also worked on my Biology homework... sorry if I made you worry last night."

"Oh no, dont worry about it. But Biology? This is news to me. I knew you were going to school, but I was not sure what you were studying. So, Biology. Any particular reason you decided on that?"

You begin to pick at your salad.

Wat do?
>>
>>20872935
Mumble your answer into your salad and then choke on your water when you try to wash it down and mumble an apology for mumbling at the same time.
>>
>>20872935
whisper "I want to protect you"
then accidently spill your salad
>>
>>20872935
Mumble something about wanting to help soldiers (or him) if they get wounded.
Then take a huge mouthful of salad so you don't have to talk for a while.
>>
>>20872968
>>20872971
That's medicine you fools. MEDICINE
>>
>>20872935
"I want to be a Doctor because people get hurt."
>>
>>20872935
"I want to..." What if he thinks that only men should be doctors? Nursing is women's work, right? I'm a woman, right? What if he thinks I'd be a great doctor and then that means he thinks of me as a man and then HE'LL NEVER WANT ME BECAUSE OF MY BIG, FAT IMAGINARY COCK.

Stuff your face with salad to buy you time to think then begin to choke on it.
>>
>>20872935
Pick at salad.
Mumble that you want to be a healer in real life, then blush because that sounds silly.
>>
>>20873004
This
>>
>>20872935
Tell him you plan to go to med school, beamingly. Or as beamingly as possible, given your disposition.

C'mon, there's gotta be SOMETHING you're proud of, right?
>>
>>20872971
Sounds about right, and maybe trying subtly to change the topic
>>
We have social anxiety not mental retardation.I don't think we are going to choke or barf at the slightest thought of conversation.

>>20872971
I like this option.
>>
>>20873019
Shy-chan isn't ashamed. She's just shy.
She's probably very proud to be going to school for biology, she's just shy about it.
>>
>>20873019
But are we proud of this? I mean we haven't gotten through basic bio yet.
>>
"... well, you know, I wanted to be a doctor, so I figured I would start with biology before going into medschool."

"Oh, and why a doctor?"

"... well I wanted to help people (like soldiers and stuff) [and...]" you trail off.

You try to hide your embarrassment behind your glass of water, then you seek a solution in your salad. The combination of the two cause your lungs to spasm, sending you into a coughing fit.

"Are you alright?" he asks as he stands up and goes to pat your back.

You hold up your hand, signaling him to sit down. He does so, and just then Waitress-chan comes by.

"Hey, I heard you coughing and came over. Are you alright? Oh, I think your food must be about done by now. Ill be right back."

Silents fills the table for a minute before she returns with your food. She sets the lasagna in front of you and the Alfredo in front of Friend-kun.

She is still within earshot.

Wat do?
>>
>>20873064
Quietly say "Thank you" to Waitress. Since she won't hear us tug on Friend's sleeve and ask him to thank her for us.
>>
>>20873064
call her a skank, or thank her for the food
>>
>>20873064
Change the subject, ask about Friend-kun. Just as long as we don't have to talk about ourselves, we'll be all set.
>>
>>20873064
Try to say everything is fine and spaghetti
>>
>>20873064
Thank the waitress, or at least try.

Ask about friend-kun. Enough about you.
>>
"... thanks for the food." you quietly mumble out, tugging on Friend-kun's sleeve

"Yeah, thanks Waitress-chan."

"Dont mention it. As long as you dont mooch too hard, I dont mind, Friend-kun-kun~~"

With that, she skips away once more.

"... so, how have you been?"

"Hmm? Oh, Ive been alright. I went to a party last night after I dropped you off. That is where I met Waitress-chan. We talked quite a bit during the party, and asked me to drop by here if I wanted some free, good food. I tried to call you to check on you, but you were probably asleep at the time."
>>
>>20873209
"I'm sorry.

She seems like a nice person."
>>
>>20873209
Ask friend-kun about his deployment at some point. It's hard to not be curious just a little.
>>
>>20873243
seconded
>>
>>20873209
Apologize mumble and try to change topic so you don't have to think about friend's relationship to the waitress, but ask anyway
>>
Methinks maybe we should start to wrap this up for the night?
>>
>>20873320
Yeah. I think we're losing people.
>>
>>20873209
Ask him about what he wants to do now that he's back. Or ask him about what his deployment was like. Or ask him about anything that's not Her.
>>
>>20873332
thirded.
>>
>>20873361
>>20873243
>>20873284
>>20873332
So I think we are done for tonight
Same time tomorrow?
>>
"... sorry again."

"Please, you can stop apologizing. Things happen. I probably would have left early to go the the party anyway, so being sick didnt really change too much. And you cant help going to sleep if you arent feeling well."

The rest of your meal passes in relative silence. You each talk about a few little things in your life, but Friend-kun takes the majority of control of the conversation. He talks about his latest social situations, tell a few anecdotes with inside jokes that you dont quite get, tells you that he is now in the reserves, so he probably wont get called back soon, but he should be ready just in case, and then gets in a bit of a debate over different roleplay systems.

" - well, I kind of like the new thing DM-bro is using. It really pulls together the advantages of some systems, while eliminating the majority of the flaws. It truly is the utopia of roleplaying games."

Waitress-chan happens to hear this while walking by.

"Oooh, roleplaying games? I used to be into those a while ago. What are you guys talking about?"

"Well, we were discussing the new system our GM is using. It seems pretty great so far, and I really hope we keep using it. Speaking of which, it is probably about time to be leaving. We have a session this afternoon."

"Oh boy," Waitress-chan lights up at this. "Mind if I tag along? My shift ends shortly."
>>
>>20873408
oh wow, every girl friend-kun knows wants to sleep with him
>>
>>20873408
We can't really object.

"I don't mind. You'll have to ask DM."
>>
>>20873408

"Well, I suppose it couldnt hurt. You probably wont be able to play this session, but you can certainly come watch and perhaps join in later."

"Sounds like a plan. Give me a minute to rap up and Ill meet you guys at the car."

With that, she skips back to the kitchen, probably going to change. You and Friend-kun walk back to the car.

"This should give you two plenty of time to become friends!" he says with a smile.

You nod along with him.

She arrives at the car, gets in the back seat, and the three of you head off to DM-Bro's house.

It seems you have obtained a new party member.
Alright, I guess it is time to call it. I was going to shortly anyway, so Im glad you guys suggested. Next game will pick up here at 20:00 4chan time tomorrow.


Anyway, any criticisms or tips for me? Now would probably be the time to voice your opinions. Ill check this thread tomorrow. I dont know how to use the suptg archives, but Ill just use the auto one to link here if need be.
>>
>>20873445

>20:00 4chan time tomorrow.

what is this

Also are you gonna draw whorechan into the pic?
>>
>>20873445
I feel it would be in the spirit of the quest, being a slice of life quest revolving a girl who likes RP game, to have more "skill checks" with dice rolls when she does stuff normal people should be able to do, like cooking or talking to new people. it gives a chance for both character development, and some lol moments when we get ridiculously low rolls.
>>
>>20873537

the end goal of the game is to romance friend-kun and overcome our shyness, so we do need a chance to make positive steps forward. that is just my opinion though. I like the game so far though op, good job!
>>
>Friend-kun-kun~~

So, what's the difference between "kun" and "san" in this case? If "kun" has anything to do with "future husband" then I think we should know about it.
>>
>>20873477
4chan uses EST I believe. It is also the time when it says "20:00" next to new posts.

As for the drawing, I cant draw. If you know the story of the original picture, it was posted in a "Draw your party" thread. I merely used it as a base for this quest. I would have done a webcomic instead if I could draw.

>>20873537
>>20873587
I can see that. I have tried to make her pretty fumbly when talking to people to compensate for that, but I can see where you might want a chance to be a Casanova.

I am, however, not going to ever have any skillchecks when talking to Friend-kun. I feel like that is entire against the "Childhood Friend" image.

But any drawfags out there can feel free to modify anything I do. Similarly, writefags can do a spinoff, continue my plot, or do whatever you want.

I want to keep this a fairly open project. I did not come up with the idea, and even now, players are doing most of the thinking. I dont want this to be a "I write quest, you play it." I want this to a "We write a quest, then admire what we came up with together."
>>
>>20873761
San is formal, kun and chan are the way people refer to children, or childhood friends refer to eachother, male and female respectively.

And I decided it would be fun to just have a character use honorifics, as I am using them as names. It isnt a Japanese roleplay. Think of "Shy-chan" as her actual name. I might call you John or I might call you Friend-kun.
>>
Anything else before I go to sleep?
>>
im gonna go ahead and call out that waitress-chan is a lesbian and is gonna hit on shy-chan in a very awkward way........am i right op? dont spoil it, save it for the next post.
>>
We forgot the pie in our fridge.
>>
We forgot the pie in our fridge.

I hope to see you continue this Simic.
>>
Why are you so cute, /tg/?
>>
I know Shy-Chan, she showed up at my group's last game. It was hard to get a single word out of her and when she did speak, it was barely audible.
