>>21155807
We start cooking dinner who cares if its only one o'clock in the afternoon.
Or we can call Slutty for advice and to brag a little but mostly for advice.

>>21155807
Make stew for dinner, once it's simmering we can do all of our homework.

If we need ingredients we'll go out for them.

Kill self to end this unbearably shitty quest.

>>21155914
ice_burn.gif

I enjoy this quest and feel we should start preparing a meal that takes awhile now and fret about Friend's suspicious behavior

Well OBVIOUSLY he's lying.

Make food anyway, spend rest of free time pulling hair out.

>>21155864
Yeah, let's phone her up & have a breakdown.
>>21155989
Also this.

You decide to be productive with your time. Deciding on a long cooking meal, you pull out your crockpot. You put potatoes, carrots, onions, and other seasoning in with a large slab of beef and turn it on. That should be done by the time he gets home.

With dinner under way, you continue to work on the chores that never seem to get finished. When was the last time you cleaned the cupboard underneath the sink?

While dusting and clearing cobwebs, you worry about where Friend-kun goes at times like this. He is usually a phonecall away, but he occasionally just goes off like this... It didnt used to happen, so it must be something you are doing that is causing it.

Fretting while you scrub between the tiles at near the top of your shower, You decide to ask for more advice from Slutty-san.

"So, did Friend-kun ever show up?"

"... well yeah, but he was hurt, and now has left again..."

"Why do you need to keep tabs on him? He checked in just today, he is probably at his house or something."

"... well, he is staying here for now..."

"Wait, he is staying at your house?" There is a pause on the other side of the line. "Just hope he will come back then, I guess."

With that, she hangs up.

>>21156120
Once you're done with chores (for now) you should practice singing! Getting better at something you're good at is a self-esteem booster, and being timid it'd be hard to practice when someone can hear you.

Bury our nouse in coursework, of course.

>>21156120
We've got dinner dealt with, chores dealt with. We may as well do homework.

>>21156120

Do you think maybe Friend-kun doesn't want us to love him? Do you think that's why he sometimes pushes us away, as he knows we're not good enough for him? Ohgodsohgodswedon'tdeservehim.

Practice singing to distract from our overwhelming self-doubts.

>>21156120
We stare at the door and wait

>>21156120
Do 'research' on how to take it to the next level with Friend

Well, you do have work to do...

You start to work on your homework, popping in your headphones. As your music starts, you sing along quietly.

Within two hours, your homework is finished, you have worked your way through the entirety of your music, and you are starting to cheer up. It certainly helped get your mind off of everything that is going on.

Dinner should be finished in another hour or so.

>>21156667
Take a shower, check on the stew, read a nice book.

>>21156667

If we still have time, maybe we should do something like >>21156528, except with regards to finding signs that he's actually interested in us. He didn't pull his hand away when we placed our hand atop it, right? That's a good sign...right?

>>21156722
I meant to cast masturbation but that works to

Well, we're still scarcely a week away from our spaghetti induced coma, maybe we should stand in front of a mirror and practice greetings

>>21156756

I've always imagined Shy-chan as more than a bit sexually repressed, but I'm not the guy running the quest.

>polite sage for non-contributing and probably being "That Guy"

>>21156812
But what if Friend walks in on us? I think we must do research >>21156722

That's the point.

Hey, as long as it ends in awkwardness, I'm game.

>>21157010
I am down with that than

>>21156120
We should totally turn the condom over and over in our hands whilst imagining a situation in which we would get to use it.

>>21157228
Meant to apply this to >>21156667

Check stew, then wear headphones while masturbating, loudly yelling for Friend-kun to go deeper.

>>21157265
Should we invite him to your magical realm?

>>21157301
I don't think he's ready to enter that particular forest.

>>21157265
The OP refused to go along with any sexual or yandere themes, citing that it was too early for the first point and that there was a really shitty quest thread for the second point.

>>21157336
Actually, I'm only >>21157228 and >>21157241, as if it weren't obvious those two posts are related. I never suggested masturbation, just us doing something embarrassing.

>>21157336
I just realized my deriding comment could be misinterpreted as sexual innuendo.

>>21157379

All right. I'll apologize for that mistake.

>>21157420

How could I NOT interpret that as innuendo?

>>21157370

Thank you. That is all.

>>21157461
I was not supporting you or him with that comment, just informing the other poster.

I think we're stumped.

>>21156667

Simic, I'm sorry if we've scared you away. Seriously, we should probably just go with >>21156710 or >>21156812 if we really need to do something that might cause spaghetti.

>>21157649
He's not scared, he's waiting for concesus.

It is a little of both.

Good. It's a nice conflict resolution tool, though.

>AH WILL WAYYYYYYYYYYYYT FOH YOUUUUUUUUUUU

I'd just like you to know, Simic, that I've been reading your threads, loyally following them. It's a really rare chance for to participate in this thread because of timezone issues (all the way from Malaysia here :D) and school.

So please keep it up, and know that you have a fan all the way from Malaysia XD (you might have to Google that)

>>21158010
it could come in handy, makes it easier for new/ate readers to catch up

Taking care of your Hygine by reflex, you start go into your living room, relaxing with the newest volume in the Adventures of a Grim Dark Fantasy series.

You crack the volume, starting in on it. The story fits perfectly into the setting created by the author, and you marvel at his ability to pump out these books. He has written 3 volumes this year.

You are reaching the scene where the protagonist discovers what happened to his long lost, assumed to be dead, uncle who is actually his father when you receive a knock on the door.

Going to open it, you look through the hole, seeing the expected Friend-kun.

And Waitress-chan.

Wat do?

>>21158380
Open the door and ask what happened, also offer refreshments. Never hurts to be polite.

>>21158380
let her in, offer her some spaghetti i mean conversation

>>21158403
You mean stew, we made stew not spaghetti.

>>21158414
I meant conversation

Let her in, ask her why she's here.

wonder if she's a lesbian.

>>21158380
invite them in while freaking out on the inside
don't show it though, you don't want to cause a commotion

>>21158397
This sounds good. I don't think Waitress-chan is an enemy here.

>>21158414
Praise the Emprah for that.

>>21158380
"...oh, Waitress-chan, I wasn't anticipating...well, I could make supper work for three people."
Invite them in, take their coats, ensure that they have coasters, and dine.

"Y-you could have told me you were coming..."

Hey, on the bright side, friend-kun's back in one piece.

>>21158309
>>21157837
>>21158010
The thing about this style of writing is that I would have to think up multiple different outcomes. I would fully think through all of the choices before I wrote them in, meaning (even) slower updates, it might appear slightly railroaded due to the absence of choices that I wouldnt put, and then any people who choose "other" just create even more work for me.

I like this system. It could (hardly) be said I am railroading, even if I hint at paths I want, and dismiss paths I dislike. I only have to think up one chain of events, the one that wins, and I could update (fairly) quickly.

The real reason I dont update as quickly as I could is because I am multitasking at this point. I am starting to lose interest in this project, and Im sure it will die sooner rather than later. So I make all the time I spend on this a lot more bearable by using all the time I spend thinking to also play games and such.

I will mention once again, though it has been quite a while, that I want this to be an open project. If somebody else doesnt like the way I am portraying this, make a new thread and start your own adventure. Use the same characters, use the same Trip Name for all I care. I want your opinions. This is the first quest I have run, and it is doing pretty well. This has always merely been a pet project for me, so if you want to build upon it, or parallel to it, do so. Or if you dislike the way I am doing it, tell me so. I want to improve this whole thing

>>21158462
Bro, if you quit I, at the very least, will take up your mantle and continue it to the best of my ability. So if you find you don't like doing this anymore, announce it when you do.

>>21158462
I shall take this as open license to do something I was planning to do anyway.

>>21158441
I feel like she gets too much grief. She just wants to be friends~
who am I kidding, she wants to jump on shy-chan's jazz

"... oh, hey Friend-kun... Waitress-chan..." You say as you open the door. "... come in, of course..."

You move to the side, letting the two of them in.

"Yeah, sorry for coming over uninvited. I ran into Friend-kun and he invited me over for dinner. He was sure you wouldnt mind...(?)" It almost seems like the last part was a question.

"... of course I dont mind..." You turn to the kitchen, pulling out two glasses and filling them with water. You put the glasses on the table in the dining room. "... please wait here, dinner should be done shortly..."

The two sit down and chat about this and that. You lift the lid of the crockpot, taking in the smell of your Roast.

Roll 1d100 for cooking. Median of the first three rolls.

Something apparently.

It doesnt smell as good as you think it should.

Oh god, what are you going to do? You haphazardly throw in seasonings. Nothing seems to get rid of that odor... You give it a taste, and it doesnt taste very good at all.

You have two guests who have been promised dinner and all you have is this disaster...

Wat do?

We shoulda done pasta salad. It's impossible to fuck up.

Ogre civ quest stole all our luck

>>21158652
Quick, instant ramen with frozen vegetables put in! That's easy, and the frozen vegetables warm up pretty fast from the boiling and all, so it's still nutritious. Not as good as stew, though. Oh well.

"Oh god, I think I set the heat on too high... A-anyone want pizza?"

>>21158682
this and also try to get rid of the stew in the most ridiculous manner ever

>>21158693

this, its not like he was expecting a cooked meal, we made that decision

>>21158693
Double this!

>>21158462
I feel ya, brah. I merely felt that we wouldn't reach a consensus otherwise. Plus, it gave me a chance to cut through some of the unsavory options. Regardless, I plan to use it only as a last-ditch effort.
I was more afraid someone would accuse me of trying to turn this into something MSQ-tier

I can understand why you're losing interest in this, but I still do enjoy it.

>>21158512
This. Please just tell us if you're tired of it. It'd be ending on a sour note if you simply stop showing up.

inb4 Shy-chan yandere quest

>>21158558
I still think Friend-kun is the closest we're going to get to a True Good "ending," but Waitress-chan is a decent back-up route.

>>21158620
>>21158624
>>21158630
DO I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING?

We are childhood friends of friend-kun right? what is our relationship with his family? do we have any idea why he is having problems with them?

>>21158693

Yup. As long as Shy-chan has the money, she should definitely order a pizza for the group.

>>21158717
"T-this usually doesn't happen, I'm s-sorry! Oh gosh, it smells like armpits! I messed everything up!"

>>21158740

It's not provided, and I'm not sure if Simic is interested in fluffing it out. We've known him for years, so we've presumably at least seen his family a few times.

No ideas on why he's having problems with his family. That's the mystery we need to solve before he'll finally accept his affections for Shy-chan.

Or our attempts to get closer to him could just backfire and drive him into the sort of spaghetti-prone life we live.

Such bullshit stew is impossible to mess up

>>21158778
>>21158757
>>21158693
>>21158698
>>21158717
>>21158723
I think pizza is the way to go here. I mean we messed up cooking once what would happen if we failed again?

You pull the plug on the crockpot. Whatever it was, it is no longer fit for consumption. You leave it on the counter for now, with plans to dispose of it later.

"... sorry but the food I made didnt turn out well... how about I just order a pizza...?"

"Now now, how bad can it be?" Friend-kun suggests

"Well, I had Pizza the other day, so I would prefer anything else. Chinese, perhaps?" Waitress-chan suggests

"Well, if you dont have anything else, we could always go out to eat." Friend-kun suggests as well

>>21158820
We haven't rolled in, like, forever. Besides, this is the spaghetti we've been waiting for.

>>21158839
lets go out, make it an event

>>21158839
Trip Slip.
>>21158809
Well, I dont care where we go with this. I will try my best to flesh out wherever you guys want to go with this. I tried my hand at a Sci-fi section, but I cant say that was very successful, so I doubt we will go back to that.

I only have a vague outline in my head about familial connections and events from the past, but lets just say that you have met his family, they seemed like nice people, but he always looked strained when you were with them.

>>21158839
I'm going with Chinese delivery. Waittress-chan came all the way here, we shouldn't make her leave right away.

>>21158839

Yeah. Friend-kun to the rescue. I'm fine with Shy-chan buying everyone Chinese delivery.

>>21158839
Lets deffer to Friend and just let him pick the place we have already done enough damage. Lets just hope he doesn't shack up with Waitress in front of us seeing how she isn't made of Spaghetti, and as we think this we try not to cry.

>>21158839
Chineses.

"I-i think I've been out enough for one day... ...Chinese?"

Don't forget to indulge in your apology reflex

"... I think I just want to stay home for the rest of the night... we could do Chinese..."

"Alright, I know a great place. Ill order some up." Waitress-chan says, pulling out her cellphone and walking into the hallway. "Anything specific, or should I just order an array?"

".. anything is fine..."

"Yeah, just make sure to get some egg rolls."

She dials them up, closing the door so as not to disturb you two with her call.

The food will probably be here in half an hour or so.

Wat do?

>>21158875

I just want Shy-chan to come out of her shell. If that means simply getting closer to Friend-kun and Waitress-chan, cool. If it manages to get up to an actual dating relationship with one or the other, I'm fine with that.

Not only do I like this quest, but I feel obligated to see it through to such a point. You see, I dated a real-life Shy-chan. Without making this my blog, she didn't voice what she wanted in the relationship, things turned sour, and she...sort of did a one-eighty and became something of a perfection-obsessed Slaaneshii.

This is me trying to make things right with the world. This is me trying to see how things could have been. You see, I loved her.

But enough of that shit.>0/10, would murder, etc.

>>21159004

I am tempted to ask about his family problems, but that failed utterly the last time.

I want to go with >>21159019, but we'd probably have to roll, and it could end in disaster.

So...no clue, guys.

>>21159067

Simic has said before that DCs vary depending on the task

>>21159237
Yeah, not going to be surprised when he says we failed that one. Spaghetti likely incoming.

>>21159237
Lets hope it was loud enough to be heard, because well Waitress almost seems to be dating him more than we are

Friend-kun lounges back. You prepare yourself. This is a big deal. You are just going to say how you feel, shout it out, make sure the world knows. Here goes...

"...(Iloveyou)..." You squeak out, a lot more quiet than you had intended.

"Hmm? What was that?" Friend-kun looks up at you

"...nothing..."

"Are you sure? I could have sworn you said something."

"... no, nothing..."

"Alright, what ever. I wonder what is taking Waitress-chan so long." He taps his foot impatiently. He gets up suddenly, walking to the door. When he reaches it, Waitress-chan opens the door. She seems surprised that Friend-kun is standing there.

"Ah, Friend-kun! The food should be here soon."

talk to waitress-chan, see what is going on in her life

>>21159377

It's like...it's like...we're dead to him.

Wh-What have we done to deserve so cruel a fate?

Sniffle a bit as we wonder what we've done wrong. I'd even be so bold as to ask him why he seems aloof, but...nah, let's go for it.

>>21159431
Its a fun quest, certainly not the worst quest currently running

>>21159457
>Aloof
He questioned after what we said 3 times. Are we really going to pull the whole "I'm fine, I'm fine I'm fine" (5 minutes later) "WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK ME HOW I WAS DOING" thing?

>>21159433
Sounds about right. Also, ask if anyone wants to take the pussy way out and grab a fork.

>>21159475
Although aloof might not be the right word we still have no idea what's going on with HIM or why he brought Waitress home.

>>21159475
No, and my bad for making it sound that way.

>>21159433
Yeah I seems like the polite thing

"... so Waitress-chan... how are you doing...?"

"Well, same old same old. Work has been a bit slow lately. Seems not many people can go out to a fancy restaurant on a frequent basis anymore. Oh well, the salary is fine so I dont really need tips to live. How is school going?"

"... I am learning what I need to know..."

Friend-kun is standing off to the side during this exchange, looking agitated.

You and Waitress-chan chat about various unimportant things for a few minutes before the food arrives. Friend-kun, who had been standing by the door for a while, answers it, pays the delivery man, and brings in the bag of food.

"Alright, lets eat." Friend-kun puts the food on the table and starts to dish himself out some food.

Waitress-chan and Friend-kun are both using chopsticks, but you arent particularly familiar with them. You might be able to fake it, or there are forks in the kitchen.

Wat do?

>>21159688
Forks, we don't want to get Friend-kun riled up by spilling the food he paid for all over the place

Unless we're deliberately going for spaghetti, in which case I guess we'll be rolling for chopstick handling

>>21159688
Fork obviously... But don't offer to them!

>>21159688
>"... I am learning what I need to know..."
Is it just me or does this feel really awkward?


Just go for the forks.

>>21159688

"F...friend-kun, could you help me with the chopsticks? If it wouldn't be too much to ask...of course..."

>>21159688
use a fork, no one is going to judge you for that.
friend-kun seems to be acting more like an asshole everyday, I feel like this is leading to a very unhealthy relationship

>>21159688
Chopsticks! Maximum spaghetti time!

>>21159732
Balanced people are boring people. Crazy, here we come.

>>21159706
>>21159710

Dammit, you guys, the point is to make a fool of yourself

Forks all the way.
>>21159732
He did just get kicked out by/his shit beat in by/beat the shit out of his parents. Plus I'd be pretty damn annoyed if I wanted someone to just out and say something already.

>>21159746
Really? I thought the point was to play a shy awkward person not a complete moron who cant understand she has 0 skills in foreign eating utensils.

Grabbing a fork out of the kitchen, you dish yourself out a helping of noodles. Nobody seems to be talking. You dont know what else to say, so you just sit there in silence.

After a very quiet meal, Waitress-chan suddenly speaks up.

"Well, I guess I better get going. Do you mind walking me out, Shy-chan?"

>>21159777
She probably wants to tell us something. Go with her.

>>21159777
Might as well.

>>21159777
She has information for us.

Hopefully it is not bad.

>>21159777
Go with her.

>>21159777

She probably knows more about the situation than we do. A vote for >>21159781.

"Uhm...Okay?"

For some reason I don't think this'll fly under friend kun's radar unetected.

>>21159777
Go with her. If she DOESN'T have something to tell us, spill our guts to her anyway. She's probably a better source of feedback than Slutty-chan.

>>21159812
seconded

>>21159812
I feel that slutty-chan feels left out of our little love triangle we have going on

>>21159812

Bro, we already told her that we like-like Friend-kun. I'm not sure if she's kept it a secret or not, however...

"... um, sure..."

As you walk out into the hallway, Waitress-chan turns to you.

"I dont know what is going on with Friend-kun lately, but even since I met him last week, he has changed a lot. Im not sure it is for the better. You need to figure out what is wrong with him. I decided I am going to stay out of it, for your sake, so you need to do this on your own."

With that, she walks outside and gets into her car, driving away.

Well then. Tomorrow, 20:00 4chan time.

>>21159832
I keep getting the feeling we need to man up and speak to him normally and ask what's wrong.

>>21159832
The plot thickens.

>>21159812
Yeah I don't think Slutty is the best confidant at the moment which is kinda sad considering I was hoping for a bit of development on her part

>>21159836
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Okay man goodnight

>>21159832
we are one bad roll from friend-kun murdering us, arent we?

>>21159841
That is outcome one. That beings the bath to a perfectly normal and well adjusted relationship. And that is boring, nobody wants that.

>>21159832

And so the broken shall rebuild the decaying.

>>21159865
Well that's the path I'm voting for! So yandere somewhere else!

>>21159865
no, im pretty sure we all want an happy ending for shy-chan either with friend-kun, or waitress-chan

>>21159853
imagine maybe friend-kun feels like that guy

>>21159871
Or all shall fall to ruin

>>21159882
Or perhaps both

>>21159880
>>21159882
Happy and boring are not the same.

>>21159832
Waitress-chan confirmed for bro

>>21159853
I would say around two or three

>>21159912
Who says healthy, well adjusted people can't be sexually deviant?

>>21159919
There is not a rule, certainly, but there is a bit of a common position against it.

>>21159906
personally i am leaning more towards waitress-chan, not because LOL LESBIANS, but because so far she has been the only character who has pure beneficial to us. Friend-kun is becoming all weird and shit, and its not really our job to fix his problems.
I wonder how canon waitress-chan being a lesbian is

>>21159943
He's probably becoming all weird and shit because he's in a tough spot and no one *coughshychancough* has tried to help him out with anything more than superficial.

>>21159865
Dude, I'm a yanderefag. But I like that this quest has a completely different flavor. I want Shy-chan to get a healthy sort of Good End.

>>21159887
No, Friend-kun is a manly, handsome Paladin. He could be getting any pussy he wants, it's just he genuinely has feelings for Shy-chan, so he's probably waiting for her to come around.

>>21159888
I will do everything in my power to prevent this.

>>21159915
Bro-tier Waitress-chan attained.

>>21159918
Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

>>21159943
Friend-kun has put up with our bullshit for like twenty years. Now he's a war vet getting the shit kicked out of him in his parents house, no wonder he's acting strange.

We can't just say it isn't our job to help him, he's our best friend and he's done a lot for us.

>>21159983
That is true, I have been forgetting about our neediness of him
