You find yourself hugging Lea, mid-spar, with Fellwind and Azariel standing to the side. Everybody else out there in the courtyard- a smattering of human, lizardmen, and orcs, mostly, currently training to use their chosen weapons, led by Nahzit- didn't pay much attention, mostly due to their discipline.

Azariel absentmindedly itched the green, glowing crack in his beak, and leaned back, looking up to the sun.
Only then does Lea sniffle, and you realize she's been crying, hugging you tightly.
"Thank you." She mumbled to you, eyes closed. Her sword lay forgotten in the grass behind her.

>>21238999
Keep hugging

>>21238995
Woo, 100 threads. And you made the OP image sparkly.

>>21238999
Hug her back? I don't think we need to say anything to that.

>>21238999
Continue holding her and say "Of course my dear, I am glad you are with us, as is everyone else"

Happy 100th thread.

Any fapworthy threads that I can go and peek at?

>>21239063
>I made it sparkly!

"Of course." You say, continuing to hold her. "I'm glad you're with us, as is everyone else."
Dras'lea took a deep breath, and then pulled away. "Sorry I stopped the spar..." She said, and looked back to the sword. "We're pretty evenly matched, aren't we? Then again, that makes a strange amount of sense..."

>>21238995
You sir, are a machine. Congrats to the 100th thread and thank you for the good entertainment!

>>21239115
"It does. It seems we're the same at swordfighting. But you're better at magic. But I have an army."

>>21239115
"I think you are somewhat ahead of me, remember, I am using an artifact weapon and at least as far as I know, neither Azariel's sword nor yours are of equal quality."

"It does." You say. "It seems we're the same at swordfighting. But you're better at magic. But I have an army."
"Well, I'm not exactly better at magic..." She said. "I just use mine differently, and I don't have the strange marks on my arms that you do."
Azariel cleared his throat, suddenly.
"Oh, did you want to talk to her?" Lea asked. "Sorry, sorry."
"If it isn't too much trouble." Azariel said, and bowed. He turned to you.
"Ishelda, if you don't mind, I have something to discuss with you." He said. "Concerning your... wizard academy concept."

>>21239255
"Here, Lea, hold Rikar, it looks different for everyone"

"What is it, Azariel?"

>>21239255
"Oh? Go on."

>>21239271
She knows what Rikar is, she made it.
But I am interested to see if she can wield it again now.

"Here, Lea, hold Rikar." You say, and hand her the sword, before turning to Azariel. You see Lea take the sword in hand, and it suddenly became a pure black... shard of empty space that seemed to sap at the color around it. She 'eeped' and dropped it, where it returned to it's 'default' clear state.

"What is it, Azariel?" You ask.
"Well, with my new state as... something more permanent than a mere shade, I considered the concept quite a bit, and seeing as you removed all the more... dangerous artifacts from my tower, I believe I'm willing to oversee it, and use my tower as the academy itself." He said. "I also played with the idea of becoming headmaster, but such a choice is yours, of course."

>>21239316
"That would be great! I don't think we have anybody more qualified to be headmaster. Your tower is quite a distance away from the city though."

>>21239346
That's much less of a problem, with Ariel making progress on the Waygates. Besides, wizard academy would almost have to be a boarding school.

>>21239099
>Not really. I fade to black during the fun bits.

"That would be great! I don't think we have anybody more qualified to be headmaster." You say. "Your tower is quite a distance away from the city, though."

"It's best if learning wizards have a certain amount of ... isolation, as they're being taught." Azariel said. "It's how we kalak did it, on our homeworld. Second of all, I believe it's very likely that Aeriel's... 'waygate' project will work, with a bit of tinkering. And third of all, there's the issue with the Throne. I have no need of it anymore, now that I exist entirely here, and it would be best if the artifact didn't remain where an apprentice could find and utilize it to cause mayhem."

>>21239316
"That is great, I can not think of someone more qualified for the position as a headmaster, I would be honoured to have you in this position.
I have also been thinking about what Tyr told me, about why he dislikes most wizards. Maybe we could get him or one of his dwarves onboard to come up with some kind of wizardly ethics, to avoid the abuse of wizardry and the use of blood magic.

>>21239388
If Aeriel manages the waygates then distance will never be a problem for anything ever again.
But the whole point was to bring more immigrants to Triune's Gift which won't happen if the academy is nowhere near Triune's Gift.

>>21239412
>>21239413
>Oh boy, I can not into typing quickly.
Let's just take this then:
"We could store the throne in my vault, we have been working to make them as secure as possible to avoid artifacts falling into the wrong hands.
I have also been thinking about what Tyr told me, about why he dislikes most wizards. Maybe we could get him or one of his dwarves onboard to come up with some kind of wizardly ethics, to avoid the abuse of wizardry and the use of blood magic."

YOU FADE TO BLACK?

Well it looks like I'm not going to be reading 100 threads.

>>21239451
Wait, tell me what we started out as and how much more badass we've become, and I just might still read them.

>>21239412
"Yes, drunk wizard students running around the city sounds problematic. You want me to move the Throne into my vaults?"

>>21239451
And the vast majority of them don't have any parts worth fading at all.

>>21239451
Yes, if you want smut this is not the place. Go back to... actually, I don't know. Even MSQ fades to black.

>>21239459
We started as a 13 year old with significantly less power than we have now, in all senses of the word.
We can cast spells that would have straight up killed 13 year old Ishelda without blinking an eye.
And we had precisely no political power at the start, and now we have a hell of a lot.

>>21239459
We started out as a 13 year old girl fleeing from her homeland with nothing but the clothes she is wearing, now we are Queen of our own kingdom, have turned down godhood once and are the most powerful magic-user save maybe for ourselves.

In truth, you're both.

"Yes, drunk wizard students running around the city sounds problematic." You say. "You want me to move the Throne into my vaults?"
"That would be best, yes." He said. "But if you ever have need of it, feel free to use it."
"I've also been thinking about what Tyr told me, about why he dislikes most wizards. Maybe we could get him or one of his dwarves onboard to come up with some kind of... wizardly ethics, to avoid the abuse of wizardry and the use of blood magic."
"That would actually be useful." Azariel said. "I may speak with him on that subject, and draft them up."

Well, we have a couple of smutty writefags if you want to go trawl through the afterthreads for it.

>>21239459
We were a sorceress-princess. Now we're a sorceress-queen. We hug stuff and pet fluffy animals in a really badass manner.

"Well, I'll leave that to you then."

>>21239546
I don't think any of the SORQ stuff has actually been finished. It's just odd paragraphs here and there. Some of the NFCQ stuff was good though.

"Now all we need are a few teachers." You say.
"I can speak to my children about that." Azariel said. "I believe Ezekiel might be willing, and Cassiel... and I may as well speak with Romulus, while he is here."

"Well, I'll leave that to you, then." You say.
"Very well." He said, and bowed. "By the way, tell your friend she can have my sword. I've never seen a style like that before, and she's better at it than I am."

He suddenly turned into black smoke, and dissolved through the ground. You look back, and Lea was waving Rikar- the sliver of twisted space sticking out of the blade's hilt- this way and that, experimentally.
"This is weird." She said.
"It is." Fellwind said, his eyebrows meeting. "I've never seen Rikar act like that."

>>21239676
"It's all voidy. You said you couldn't wield it before, right?"

>>21239676
"I've seen it do weirder things."

>>21239676
"Does it link to the void? Would that mean it could cut through anything?"

Poke something, see what he does.

Also I think its about time we scried the kalak homeworld, we don't want to wait too long in case they actually are in trouble.

We should do it with Kaliel, and I seriously doubt they're still in trouble after half a dozen centuries.

>>21239736
>scrying
How about a no and never. At the very least wait until after we fucking prep for the the trip. God damn.

"I've seen it do weirder things." You say.
"Like this?" She asked, and threw it.

It froze in the air, the sliver of space keeping perfectly still.
"Does it link to the void?" You ask. "Would that mean it could cut through anything?"
"I don't think so..." She said, and took Rikar again.
"Poke something, see what it does." You say. She bites her lip, and pokes the tip of the sword into the ground.

Nothing seemed to happen, other than the way the sliver of space slid easily into the dirt, as if there was no resistance- or perhaps, no blade. "... I don't want to mess with this anymore." She said, before handing it back to you. "I have a bad feeling about it."

>>21239762
"I still don't know exactly what qualifies someone to use Rikar, but I'm sure it's a good thing that you can use it."

Rolled 67

Cant prep for a trip if you don't know what to expect, scrying is just taking a look, not fucking going there.

>>21239762
"Ok. It was just curiosity anyway."
"I don't suppose you'll explain yourself, Rikar?"

>>21239779
We're in the middle of a conversation. I know Ishelda likes to randomly cast things, but it's really quite rude to suddenly scry while talking to someone.

"I still don't know exactly what qualifies someone to use Rikar, but I'm sure it's a good thing that you can use it." You say, and look down to the blade. "I don't suppose you'll explain yourself, Rikar?"
The crystalline sword trembled, and small bursts of astral fire danced along the blade, but it said nothing.

Fellwind spared another look to the training Jeanne. She noticed him, and waved. The scarred healer grinned, and waved back.

Far behind you, Leon was simply staring out at the city itself, watching it, in complete silence.

>>21239838
Go ask Leon what's up. He on his man-period?

>>21239838
"Hey, Lea, do you want to try swamp brew?"

>>21239838
Sneak up behind Leon.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"Hey, Lea, do you want to try swamp brew?" You ask.
"Swamp brew?" She asked. "That... horrible lizardman stuff? I've uh, heard Tala complaining about it. Erm... not particularly. If you want me to, I suppose I could, though..." She said, trailing off.

You turn back to Leon, and sneak up behind him.
"Corvus for your thoughts?" You ask, and he twitches, suddenly turning back.
"Oh, sorry, I got distracted." He said, shaking his head. "Do you need me for anything, my queen?"

>>21239916
We don't use pennies in Arcturus.

>>21239928
"Not really. Just wondering what you were doing. Although you could help me carry the Throne, it's probably heavy."

>>21239928
"Not really, you were just staring so intently."

back to Lea
"Swamp brew is horrible, but I like it despite that, so you might like it too."

>>21239928
"Nope, just wondering what you were thinking about. Do you like the city?"

<Swamp Brew is truly truly horrible stuff. But I happen to like it so you might enjoy it.>

<Swamp Brew is truly horrible, horrible stuff.> you say. <But I happen to like it, so you might enjoy it.>
<Maybe...> She said, hesitantly.

"Not really. Just wondering what you were doing. You were just staring so intently." You say.
"Just staring." He said. "I do that sometimes, and I have my entire life. Always had my head in the clouds."
"Do you like the city?"
"I do." He responded. "I'm not used to the ogrish style of the buildings yet, and I've never seen a star-shaped castle before, so it's all rather eerie... but I like it."

>>21240044
"The star shape is tactical. Anyone assaulting the walls gets hit from two different sides in return. And if a wall is broken through, it forces the enemy into a narrow space."

>>21240044
"The star shape makes it almost impossible to siege, since attacking any part of the wall leaves attackers vulnerable to defenders on both sides of them."

>>21240044
"I designed the castle and based it off of Arcturan architecture. It is better suited to defending against magical bombardment and ensures that any men involved in the siege do not have any dead zone where they won't be fired on from above. It also is more difficult to undermine.

Not that I'm expecting any major power to go to war with us. Even if they did my solution would be to teleport and airship onto their capital and take out the leadership."

>>21240093
It doesn't matter what shape the castle is if you're sieging it. You just have to make sure nobody gets in or out.

>>21240108
>and talk out the leadership.
FTFY

"The star shape is tactical." you say. "Anyone assaulting the walls gets hit from two different sides in return. And if a wall is broken through, it forces the enemy into a narrow space." You say. It took a lot of trial and error to find the best shape for such a thing, utilizing miniature elementals and the advice of your friends, but eventually you found the best overall shape for Sancturary itself.
"... I hadn't thought about that before." he said, suddenly. "I feel rather... stupid, for not realizing it."

>>21240139
"It took a while to think up and isn't really based on any currently existing models of fortification. You have no idea how many little castle models I broke making this.

As for the Ogrish style of buildings, at least you never hit your head on a low ceiling or doorway."

>>21240125
It does in this case because, tactically speaking, New Arcturus has the equivalent of ICBMs in the form of Zeke, Ishelda, Lea, and Azariel combined with Aeriel.
If you're going to siege it, you'll need to be able to magic them to a standstill (good luck) and use more conventional means.
Otherwise your army gets crushed before they ever see the castle.

>>21240171
this

"It took a while to think up, and isn't really based on any currently existing models of fortification." You say. "You have no idea how many little castle models I broke making this. as for the ogrish style of buildings, at least you never hit your head on a low ceiling or doorway."

"Well, most people actually end up using a bunch of wood to give their domes a second floor." Fellwind said. "Though I think the kobolds gave their domes three floors. that's how high the ceilings are."
"Is that why the castle hallways are so large?" Leon asked.
"Nah, that was probably for Grayson." Fellwind said, and chuckled.
Lea suddenly frowned, and looked away from her ring.
"Tala's busy smithing with Redglare." She said, frowning. "Do you mind if I stick with you for now, Ishelda?"

>>21240256
"I'd be delighted."

>>21240256
"Of course I don't mind."

>>21240176
Well, we basically can't be sieged because we have portals. Good luck blocking that supply line.
I don't think any other country could (or would even if they could) attack New Arcturus at the moment. If we're going to go down that route we may as well not have a castle. But individual people come and go, we're talking about the effectiveness of the building.

>>21240288
They really can't attack. We have the most powerful surgical insertion strike team in the world. But it's a symbol, and it's for the future. Also it acts as a deterrent for smaller threats without a centralized leadership.

>>21240256
"Of course you can stick with me.

I miss Grayson being a bear sometimes, he's a wonderful cat but it takes getting used to."

"Of course you can stick with me." You say. "I miss Grayson being a bear sometimes. He's a wonderful cat, but it takes getting used to."
"I um, don't think it matters what his form is." Lea said. "What's important is that he's... well, always there. Whenever you need him, even before you even *know* that you need him."

>>21240375
"That's the most important thing. But his form does make a difference. I can't ride him any more, but he's fluffier."

>>21240375
"He's quite good at doing that."

>>21240375
"But the fluffy..." *sigh*

Also is Grayson a Knight?

>>21240375
"That's the most important part. Him being Grayson. He's not quite as good a pillow anymore and bears make far better cavalry than cats.

I'm thinking of visiting Father, seeing how he's doing. Would you like to come along?"

>>21240403
>I can't ride him any more
lies

>>21240409
I think he's Ishelda's personal knight, so yes.

>>21240409
He's Ishelda's knight, which is functionally the same as a standard Arcturian knight, since she's the queen.

>>21240420
Ok, we can ride him. But that type of riding is not appropriate.
He's too small and un-bearish for BEAR CAVALRY!

He's not a knight since we didn't knight him due to [supposedly] being royalty

Can Grayson turn invisible while shapeshifted?

"He's quite good at doing that. That's the most important part." You say. "He's not quite as good a pillow, anymore."
"Yeah, that's a good point." She said, and nodded.
"I'm thinking of visiting Father, seeing how he's doing. Would you like to come along?"
"Um, well, erm..." She said, blanching, and then she shook her head. "I... I don't. I don't know him, and I'll keep getting... c-confused. Definitely n-not. I can just... just go find Quaz and hang around with her."

>>21240508
Yes, it's a talent.

>>21240529
so we could have a stealth bear?

>>21240517
"It's fine, we can do something else. But you're going to run into him at some point."

>>21240508
Given that he could use the bear form's ability to change his size, grow bones, and so on while shapeshifted I would assume so.

>>21240517
"Are you sure that you don't want to see him? I know how much I missed him and I know you miss him just as much.

He won't even have to know who you are if you don't want, I'll just tell him to give you a hug. You're going to run into him eventually, it's not a huge castle."

>>21240517
"Why don't you just explain the situation to him. I'm sure he'll understand."

>>21240546
>>21240585
seconding a mix of these two

>>21240517
"I still don't think you should push away your identity like that."

"... Alright, Lea. Just trying to look out for you. I'm sorry."

>>21240708
"You called me your sister earlier and I couldn't have done any of that without you. I know that now.

You've been through a lot and I just want to show you that people love you. That nobody blames you for what happened and they forgive you for everything that you did.

Maybe your past is now a lie, nothing but a memory, but you're still my sister. You have a chance to start over and the only thing I want is for you to use this chance to be happy."

>>21240708
"Sorry, Lea."
More hugs!
"I assumed you would think like me, but I can't even imagine what you've been through. We can do something else."

"...Alright, Lea." You say, and pull her into another hug. "You called me your sister earlier and I couldn't have done any of that without you. Maybe your past is now a lie, nothing but a memory, but you're still my sister. You have a chance to start over and the only thing I want is for you to use this chance to be happy. I'm sorry."
"I'm... I'm sorry too." She said, and closed her eyes. "I didn't.. didn't mean to get angry. It just... just happened. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make that elemental."

Leon and Fellwind's eyes met.
"... you have any idea what they're talking about?"
"Erm, not really." Fellwind said. "Probably using the rings."

>>21240885
"What was that elemental? Angry elementals are white and sparky."

>>21240885
"Don't worry about it, you two."
"C'mon Lea, let's go find something to do. Maybe try swamp brew?"

>>21240914
This, also: "that was a little but scary."

"What was that elemental? Angry elementals are white and sparky."
"Not... not always." She said. "The other night I tested out my elementals, and they're... well, they're all like that. The, uh, emotional ones at least."
"Don't worry about it, you two." You say, turning to the two of them.
"If you say so." Leon said.
"C'mon, Lea, let's go find something to do. Maybe try swamp brew?"
"... Maybe, yeah." She said.

The two of you make your way into the dining hall, which is almost completely empty, during the lull between lunch and supper. The only person in there was Raziel, sitting in a small, private corner, scribbling in a book, biting her lip.

>>21240979
"Hi, Raz. This is Lea. We're going to have some swamp brew."

>>21240979
"hi raziel."

Try to find some swamp brew. One cup each should be exactly the right amount too much.

"Hi, Raz." You say, and she snaps the book shut, jumping badly and... squeaking in surprise. "This is Lea. we're going to have some swamp brew."
"Hi, Lea!" She responded, much too cheerfully. "Pleased to meet you. I'm Raziel. If you two are having some swamp brew, I suppose I'll have some too."

You ask one of the pages to fetch some swamp brew, and eventually, the three of you have your own cups, full with the hateful, burbling, rancid drink.
"I'm not so sure..." Lea said, as you take a long drought. It almost tastes worse than last time.

>>21241071
It tastes like awesomeness in a cup.

What are you reading raz?

>>21241071
"Oh Gods. Did... Did the swamp brew go bad? Can it even go bad? Yech. Give it a sip, Lea."

"Oh gods." You say. "Did... did the swamp brew go bad? Can it even go bad?"
"It goes bad when it's first made." Raziel said, and took her first sip, her cheeks already red. You notice her slide the book into her bag, trying to do so covertly. "It only gets worse."
"Yech. Give it a sip, Lea."
Tentatively, she took a sip, and then coughed, holding her nose.
"It *burns*." She said, coughing, her eyes watering. "How do you *like* this? Oh, Farmer, this is horrible."

>>21241130
"Soooooo, Raz, what's with the book?"

>>21241130
"It's an acquired taste, Lea. What are you reading, Raz?"

>>21241130
Take a sip, enjoy its minty aftertaste

"It's an acquired taste, Lea." You say. "Sooooo, Raz, what's with the book?"
"Nothing." She said, her cheeks reddening. "Nothing at all. Just uh, reading ogrish history."
"But you were writing in it." Lea said, before tentatively taking another sip.
"I was, um..." Raziel said, before taking another long drought of swamp brew. "Writing ogrish history, I mean. I am a historian, remember. That's all part of being a necromancer."

>>21241198
"It's not nice to lie, Raz."
Another sip.

>>21241198
"Which is obviously why you're blushing so furiously. I know how you historian types are all about detailing all the embarrassing, risque bits of the past."

>>21241198
"I see. So you definitely weren't writing a diary entry about my father or anything."

"Which is obviously why you're blushing so furiously." You say, your tongue already buzzing as you took another sip. "I know how you historian types are all about detailing all the embarrassing, risque bits of the past."
"I'm just... writing a story, that's all." She said.

Lea pulled the book out of Raziel's bag, but taking another deep drought, the kalak woman didn't seem to notice as Dras'lea pulled it open, absentmindedly drinking more swamp brew.
"I see. So you definitely weren't writing a diary entry about my father or anything."
"Not at all." Raziel said, her blush deepening. "I don't keep diaries. So how was your day?"

>>21241288
"Fun. I met some new people and had there were cookies and fluffy and the world hasn't even been close to ending once."

>>21241288
"It was fun. I made my first golem. He serves tea."

>>21241288
<How are you so sneaky, Lea?>

>>21241307
>>21241288
And I got hugged, which is always good.

"It was fun." You say. "I met some new people, and there were cookies and fluffy, I made my first golem, and the world hasn't even been close to ending once."
"Not even once?" Raziel asked. "Must be a new record for you." She said, grinning.
<How are you so sneaky, Lea?>
<Habit.> She responded, grinning. <"You're beautiful, Razariel." Abelial said, his voice light, agile, and cultured. It almost sounded like a chorus of other voices behind his own two. Razariel felt her cheeks flare out, as she blushed. "Others don't notice you- for your clay plumage, or your scratchy voice, but... you're graceful. You're kind." He sidled closer to her, as his rippling tailfeathers seem to shimmer radiantly, his talons running luxuriously through the feathers on her back. "And that... that makes you beautiful." He murmured, his beak tantalizingly close to the crook of her neck, as his other talon's knuckle moved down to->

Suddenly, Lea stopped talking on the ring, and her blush deepened. She carefully closed the book and slipped it back into Raziel's bag.
<... I'm not sure what to think about this.> She said.

Fail to hold back embarrrassed slaughter

>>21241419
Err... Laughter.

>>21241367
"It's true. Not even once, Razariel."
Oops, that's why you shouldn't have two conversations at the same time.

>>21241438
Loyalty?

>>21241438
Too late, the slaughter has started. Everyone is dead and can no longer laugh at your embarrassment. The next universe gets two Void Queens.

"It's true." You say. "Not even once, Razariel."
She giggled. "You may have had too much, Ish..."
She trailed off, and there was a dawning look in her eyes.
>You failed to hold back your embarassed SLAUGHTER. YOU DREW RIKAR, THE BLADE ALREADY KEEN AS A RAZOR'S EDGE, AND IT TORE THROUGH THE SINEW AND FLESH OF RAZIEL'S NECK, BEHEADING HER IN A SINGLE BLOW.
You failed to hold back your embarassed laughter, and started giggling, as Lea joined you. Raziel covered her face, and banged her forehead on the table, frowning... until she started giggling as well.
"It's... not very good." Raziel said, finally, when she had her breath back.

>>21241540
"What's the point in changing the names if they're still so recognisable?"

>>21241540
You just need more practice, I think.

>>21241540
"I think your plumage is pretty, Raz."

"What's the point in changing the names if they're still so recognizable?" you ask.
"What? No they aren't." She said, frowning. "Are they?"
"They are." Lea said, giggling as she took another sip.
"I think your plumage is pretty, Raz." You say.
"But it all has these gray stripes in it now." Raziel said, frowning. "Ever since I got my Passion. It doesn't have much color anymore."

>>21241642
"But my hair's always been like that, and you don't see me fretting."

>>21241642

Rolled 85

>>21241674

"But my hair's always been like that, and you don't see me fretting."
"That's because yours is all... silvery and beautiful. Rather than... drab."
She frowned again, and took another sip. "This is why I stopped drinking. I start to get depressed."
"That just adds character, Raz." You say. "It gives you a... distinguished air."
"It was your Passion, right?" Lea asked, her cheeks still red- she was slurring her words rather badly. "That changed it?"
"Yeah..."
"Then that means that you're more ... uh, attuned to it." She said. "But you're rather, um... beautiful, I have to say."

You look down at your swamp brew, and then back up at Raziel.

Fully aware that this is a bad idea, you raise your hand, and bring forth your power.
Power blazes from your hand, coiling around Raziel, swirling around... and you feel an invader's spell melding with your own, as Lea's hand is raised, the two complimentary spells... combining.

Your work done, you both lower your hands, and look forward at the rainbow-colored Raziel, her wings every color you could imagine, including and up to hot pink, lime green, and some neon un-color.
Lea started giggling uncontrollably, and fell out of her chair.
"... What's going on?" Raziel asked. A bright pink and a neon blue eye darted over to you.

>>21241700
Like a unicorn barfed onto a rainbow that Liberace was having tailored to be more gaudy so he could wear it around.

"I hope that's bright enough enough. We could probably add some gemstones if you like."

>>21241816
Giggle. A lot.

>>21241859
>>21241855
either of these

>>21241816
"Maybe sorcerers shouldn't drink..."

>>21241874
Do not stop laughing.

You start giggling. "We made you all colorful like you wanted!" You cry, and Lea giggles again, giving up on her attempt to climb back into her chair.
"We made you prettier!" Lea cried, raising an arm above the table, and you can hear her giggling.
Raziel checked her mirror... in astonishment, her hair covered in greens, yellows, reds and blues.
"I hope that's bright enouf... phfhahahahaa." You say, unable to stop laughing enough to complete your sentence.
You suddenly hear... wheezing and chuckling, as Zeke steps into the room, before he clenches his own beak shut.
Raziel started giggling, swooping her rainbow-colored hair in front of her face, hiding it from view... and then spread her wings, revealing her strange, unnatural plumage.
Zeke's giggles got louder, despite the way he was holding his beak shut, and Lea was finally able to breathe enough to pull herself back in her seat.

>>21241966
"Feeling better?"

>>21241966
"We probably shouldn't cast while drunk. But it's sooooo much fun!"

>>21241966
Your next zeke! Come on lea, let's.get him!

Chase ineffectively. We don't actually want to get him.

"We probably shouldn't cast while drunk." You say, giggling. "But it's sooooo much fun!"
"It is!" Lea said.
"You're next, Zeke!" You say, and scramble out of your chair.

Zeke bolted out of the room, wings flapping.
"Hey, you know what we should do?" Lea asked. "Change *grayson* to be colorful!"

>>21242195
"I'm sure you mean *Colourson*! Let's go and get him!"

>>21242195
"We should. Keep an eye out for him, he might be slinking around somewhere. Grayson, are you in here?"

>>21242195
"But then he could just go invisible and we wouldn't be able to see it."
Sneak attack! Void Queen into Colour Queen!

"But then he could just go invisible and we wouldn't be able to see it." You say.
"But he'd know... he'd know." She said, giggling.

Suddenly, you raise your hand-

And she does as well, your opposing spells wrestling with one another. They meld, just like before... but this time, it struggles, unsure which person to target. The two glistening, colorful spells wrestle... and then there was a flash. When it faded...
Dras'lea was perfectly normal, giggling wildly at you. Raziel started giggling as well.
"You're colorful too!" Raziel said, giggling and pulling you into a hug. You see bright pink hair cover your eyes before you push it away, by habit.

>>21242195
Alright, but if he ends up less fluffy ill never forgive you.

Where is that bear anyway? I've not seen him all day.

"Not fair." You say, and you raise your spells again, hands spread...
And Lea grins, raising her own hands. Every time you bring forth a spell, she slaps it back down with her own sorcery, giggling, as her eyes flash purple.
Suddenly, bringing your sorcery competition to an end, Raziel suddenly flashed, and her hair and wings were normal.
"Aww." Lea said, frowning. "It's only temporary."
Then she took your arm. "Which means I need to show you off to your girlfriend before yours wears off!"

>>21242391
>Awwwww shit.

>>21242398
>It's only temporary
That's what you thought before we got a 100.

You grin, and rouse your magic, trying to control hers-
>Lea's opposed sorcery roll: Nat 100
But her own magic riles up, forcing you away. She doesn't even seem to notice, as she giggles, dragging you down into the dungeons.

"Kaaaaali!" Lea said, giggling. Suddenly, Kaliel dropped whatever spell she was casting, and looked over. "I gave your girlfriend a makeover!"
Kaliel looked over to you... and sniggered, and then started gigglng, setting down the squeaking rat she was holding.
"You're so colorful!" Kaliel said, grinning as she pulled you into a hug.

Rolled 97

>>21242497
Fine. If we can't make Lea colorful, then we'll make Kaliel colorful.

"She's messing with me with sorcery! It isn't fair!"

-How- did she roll a nat 100? I call bullshit, good sir!

>>21242572
>I have my own dice roller program thing open. There's also the IRC with a dicebot I use sometimes.
"So are you!" you cry, and bring forth your magic, binding it around Kaliel. Her hair and robe twist into bright colors, and Kaliel's pigtails are now a lime green.
"... You're both drunk, aren't you." she said, as the both of you giggle uncontrollably, making it impossible to breathe.
"She's messing with me with sorcery! It isn't fair!"
"It's totally fair!" She responded. "You had your chaaance."
Suddenly, the swamp brew hits you hard, and the world starts swimming, the buzz in the back of your head getting stronger.
Kaliel giggled again, kissing your forehead.
"I think The Soul is giving me some sort of contact high." She said, finally.

>>21242589
"I think I need to lie down for a bit. Can you two girls join me?"

Then yell: "I WOULD LIKE SOME TEA PLEASE LIL'BUBBLES."

>>21242589
"I wouldn't be surprised if it did." With all sorts of slurring, of course.

>>21242589
We should see what the Soul can really do, while we don't care about the consequences. Like swapping bodies or joint casting or something.

"I think I need to lie down a bit." You slur, suddenly leaning into Kaliel. "Can you two girls join me?"
"So lewd." Lea whispered, and broke into giggles.
"That's not what she meant." Kaliel said, an amused expression on her face.
"It totally was!"
"I would like some tea please lil-bubbles!" You cry at the top of your lungs, making the extra-colored Kaliel and Dras'Lea both jump.

>>21242665
Grab Kal and Lea's hands and then collapse onto a bed/cushion.

>>21242665
Lean toward Lea.
"You're the one who brought it up, Lea."

>>21242665
"You only changed your face, I know what the rest is like already. S'not lewd."

"You only changed your face." You say. "I know what the rest is like already. S'not lewd." You mumble, and then you grab both their hands, collapsing onto a nearby cushion in Kaliel's workshop. The two of them each collapsed onto different cushions, before Kaliel curled up on yours, next to you, giving you another squeeze.

Eventually, as you relaxed there, Lil'bubbles clanked into the room, holding tea.
"Your tea, sir or madam-your majesty-your highness-your venerableness or madam or sir." It said, holding out four full teacups.
Kaliel took one. "You don't look bad in pink hair." She said, and giggled, before drinking her tea. Lea's eyes were half-lidded, and she was simply laying back, relaxing... and she was no doubt much more drunk than you were.

>>21242807
"I declare this to be a tea party."

"Pink huh? I always thought purple would be nice. I like purple."

"I like you Kaliel, you're so pretty."

>>21242807
Tea! Drink tea! And do totally innocent not-lewd things.

>>21242807
Drag her over to us, hand her a teacup, then take our own.
Slur out
"Tea for ya, Lea."

>>21242833
And by totally innocent not-lewd things, you mean "accidentally" feel them up.

"I declare this to be a tea party." You say, and raise your own cup, before sipping at it. Lea sips a bit of her own.
"Tea party mode initialized!" Lil'bubbles said, and scrambled out of the room. He came back with three different teapots, pouring different combinations of tea into different pots, heating all three.

"Pink, huh? I always thought purple would be nice. I like purple."
"I like purple too." Lea mumbled. "But black is better. It reminds me of the old days."
"I like you, Kaliel, you're so pretty." You say, and she gave you a smile.
"I like you too, Ishelda." She said. "You're pretty and amazing and magical and I just want to hang on to you and never ever never let go." She said, her cheeks going pink. "... I'm getting drunk because of you." She said, finally.

>>21242900
giggle
"That's okay. Raz is drunk too. Oh! I forgot about Raz. Do you think we should go get her?"

>>21242900
"Oh dear. You could take off your ring for a bit. But don't lose it, please..."

>>21242928
What? no! The drunker everyone is, the more shenanigans will happen.

>>21242900
"Lea is pretty and amazing and magical too. S'the same."

>>21242900
"Huh, I didn't think I installed a 'tea party mode' in lil'bubbles."

"You're getting drunk without all the fun of drinking Kaliel. Lil'bubbles, fetch us a cup of swamp brew please. We can share it."

>>21242970
She said she don't like it, better get her some wine or something.

"That's okay, Raz is drunk too." You giggle. "Oh! I forgot about Raz. Do you think we should go get her?"
"Gimme a second, gimme a second." Lea said, closing her eyes. You feel her focus... and then her magic go haywire, shooting sparks across the wall.
"Sorry, sorry." She said. "Umm..."
She pushed her hands together, creating a 'window' with her forefingers and thumbs, and then widened it, pumping magic into them. Eventually, a large, square illusion of Raziel appeared. She was giggling, laying on her back, reading her story aloud to Redglare and Tala.

"He stood to his full height, a knowing twinkle in his eye." Raziel's image said, her cheeks pink. "With the slightest of smiles, he raised his tailfeathers and spread them, a shimmering, dazzling array of plumage stretching far from his backside. It was... astounding, and Veladrixel's beak gaped open a fraction, before she clicked it shut, nervously."

Lea let go of her spell. "She'll be fiiine." Lea said, giggling.
"Lea is pretty and amazing and magical too. S'the same."
"Yes, but you're the one I love." Kaliel said, and gave you a rather... involved kiss, her hands ... roaming.

"You're getting drunk without all the fun of drinking, Kaliel. Lil'bubbles, fetch us a cup of swamp brew, please. We can share it."
"But I don't like swamp brew..." Kaliel said, as the golem clicked out of the room.

>>21243017

Rolled 99

>>21243031
"But I do! Um... I'll see if I can..."

Pull out those glasses and translocate some vineapple cider here from the open barrel.

"Kaliel! We have a guest."

>>21243031
"Hey Lea, have you- have you got someone you like too?"

"But I do!" You say. "Um... I'll see if I can..."
You pull out those three glasses from earlier today, and bring forth your magic. You get... rather distracted, when Kaliel slowly moves her lips down your neck.
"Kaliel! We have a guest." You say.
"Sorry, sorry!" She says, and Lea giggles. You redouble your focus, and three portals open above the glasses, pouring vineapple cider out, and you pass them out.
"This is really good." Kaliel said, sipping at it. "And it's bubbly! And sweet."
"Hey Lea. Have you- have you got someone you like too?" You ask.
"Well, Raz is really pretty..." She said, sipping at her own sparkling cider. "And I did... things with Aeriel... I don't know."

>>21243156
"I think Raz is taken. Those stories were... um... anyway, and Aeriel's sort of dead."

>>21243156
"I didn't know either, until I did... That doesn't make very much sense, does it?"

>>21243156
Discretely put a hand on Kaliel's butt. Then give it a squeeze.

"Ariel told me about that when you first game him back to me. He said he was a bit wierded out by the whole thing."

>>21243156
"Raz is taken. Father and her are and item now. It's rather cute.

You never met Belethor, he's very clever, you'd like him."

>>21243221
Belethor's taken too, silly.

>>21243221
>>21243223
Leona isn't.

>>21243223
Leon perhaps? We're running out of ships...

>>21243223
Oh right. Who isn't taken? Leon's available, Grayson's available, there's a number of open Kalaks, Azariel is around.

Redglare. He's a gentle lover, which is just what she needs.

>>21243264
Taken with Tala.

>>21243195
Haha, he said you just lay there. You've got to- you have to do stuff too or it doesn't work right.

>>21243264
Taken by Tala.

"I didn't know either, until I did." You say, and covertly give Kaliel a squeeze. "That doesn't make very much sense, does it?"
"It makes a lot of sense." She said, grinning up at the ceiling.
"I think Raz is taken." You say. "Father and her are an item now. It's rather cute."
"Damn ye, father, for stealing my woman!" She cried, clenching her fist, before giggling.
"And Aeriel's sort of dead."
"Aeriel has a body, and his soulgem thing was enchanted to emulate True Life when put into a body." She said, her eyes drifting closed for a moment. "My emotions are all too strong now that I have them back. I hafta get used to that."

>>21243299
You'll figure it out, I know you will.

>>21243299
"You've got time.

I suppose that being dead really isn't that big of a hurdle for a relationship. Maybe you could go out with Azariel, he's a nice guy.

It'll work out, I know it will."

>>21243299
"They're exactly the same as they were before, only you're not used to them any more. It'll be fine."

>>21243299
"I sorta felt that way about Raz a little bit, but then I chose Kali instead."

>>21243334
>"You've got time.
And then we get all miserable.

"You've got time." You say. "You'll figure it out, I know you will."
"Thanks." She said. "But for now, love isn't important to me. What's important is lying here, relaxed, talking with friends."
"Time..." Kaliel said, hugging you more tightly. She examined the bubbles in her vineapple cider. "Yeah. We all have time."

Through the soul, you felt something ... swelling and golden, well up within her, and she closed her eyes.
"I just realized something." Kaliel murmured, kissing you on the back of your head. "I'll have to talk with Mala about it later, but... I have an idea."
"Maybe you could go out with Azariel, he's a nice guy."
"He's not nice. He's just big and booming." Lea said, frowning. "Well... he did give me that sword. And it might be fun to date a ... sub-god or demigod or whatever.."

>>21243447
Dating a god... That sounds like the beginning of an amazing story.

>>21243447
"He's always been nice to me. He cares deeply for the other Kalaks, considers them his children. He doesn't show it but he's a big softy on the inside."

>>21243447
"I wonder if he's even still interested in... that sort of thing."

>>21243447
Hold Kaliel's head in our lap. Scratch her hair like we're preening her.

"Dating a god... that sounds like the beginning of an amazing story." You say, pulling Kaliel's head into your lap, scratching her hair. "He's always been nice to me. He cares deeply for the other kalak, considers them his children... He doesn't show it, but he's a big softy on the inside. I wonder if he's even still interested in... that sort of thing."
"I dare you to ask him." Kaliel said, and giggled. "You two do realize that you're talking about my dad, right?"
Lea giggled, and poured some of the cider into her tea, before stirring it up and taking a sip. "Sorry."
"'S fine." Kaliel said, her eyes closing.

>>21243575
Recoil in fake horror at her tea, with a big, theatrical gasp.
"Is that any good?"

>>21243575
"That's an amazing idea Lea." Offer her our teacup, we've only got one hand and can't pour delicious into our tea while we're also scratching Kaliel.

"What sort of magics do you know Lea?"

>>21243575
"Your sister's dating my dad so my sister can date your dad. It's only fair."
<Azariel, do you- d'you still like girls?>

"That's an amazing idea, Lea." You say, and hold out your teacup. She dutifully pours some into your cup... and then adds an extra splash, giving you a mischevious grin.
"What sort of magics do you know, Lea?"
"Well, I know sorcery, and translocation, and enchantment, and... well, something I'm never ever ever going to use again." She said, shaking her head.
"And Kaliel, your sister's dating my dad so my sister can date your dad. It's only fair."
"I know, I know." Kaliel said.

<Well, um, usually, couples who die still do those things, but the afterlife is kind of a place for people to... decay, not to continue growing.> He said. <Um, well, I'm not technically dead anymore, and I'm feeling younger than I have for the past few hundred years, but...>

<... I'm afraid to ask.> He responded. <Have, er, fun, I suppose.>
"'Zariel totally wants to bang." You say, and Kaliel snorts, and starts giggling. "Lea, you should totally ask him out sometime."
"But he's, well, Kalak..." She said.

In response, you roused your power, and it shot toward her, twisting her form...
and a very small obsidian kalak sat there, white feathers on her face and the tips of her wings, her beak and claws serrated cruelly.
"Interestinggg." Kaliel said, grinning at Lea. Lea herself was wobbling.
"I'm shy, I don't want to." She said, her crest flaring outward- her crest was larger than yours, much larger, tipped with white ends.

>>21244017
"errbody's crests bigger than mine."

>>21244017
"You have a nice crest, Lea. I bet Cassiel would hit on you if he were here."

>>21244017
"If you're shy you're obviously not drunk enough."

>>21244017
"C'moooon. You can always just try to be a friend, to start."

>>21244017
Bah! Even you have a bigger crest then me.

You can ask him in the morning, It's not like he sleeps. And you get to experience the wonder that is a kalak pillow nest.

>>21244017
"Hey Kal, what that thing with the crest means?"

>>21244017
"Lea, why is your crest bigger than mine. My crest is so tiny.

You don't have to start with dating, but you should get to know each other better. Go out for coffee together."

"Bah! Even you have a bigger crest than me." You say, and frown. "My crest is so tiny."
"There's something to say about your crest, Ishy." Kaliel said, laying her head in your lap again, eyes half-lidded. "Your crest is incredibly, incredibly sexy."
"C'mooon, you can always just try to be a friend, to start."
"Wouldn't that be dishonest though?" Lea said, frowning. "Like... pretending to be his friend just to get, um, under his tailfeathers?"
Kaliel started giggling again.
"Henrietta's handmaiden used to complain about men who did that, remember?" Lea asked. "Before... yeah, it would be dishonest."

>>21244157
"Well only if that's the reason you're doing it. If you're doing it because you want to be friends with him and you think there's a possibility that you could be more then friends...well isn't that how everyone does it? As long as you're not gonna stop being friendly to him if it turns out one of you isn't really interested."

>>21244157
"All good relationships are based on friendship as well as love.

You should be upfront that you're interested, but you don't start by trying to jump his feathers."

>>21244157
"Fine then, stay with us. You can change your mind later, he's not going anywhere."

>>21244157
"Sexy, hmm? I like that." Plant a giant squelchy kiss on her lips, then more scritches are deserved.

"Fine then, stay with us." You say. "You can change your mind later, he's not going anywhere."
"Well, um..." Lea said. "I was going to go give you two your... privacy. I can make it to my bedroom, I think." She said, her wings twitching as she stretched... and wobbled some more.

Kaliel reached down, took a cup, and took a deep drink- only to realize that it was the swamp brew cup. She immediately started coughing, and then chuckled to herself.

"Um, sleep well." Dras'lea said.

>>21244267
"You don't want to stay? I thought we were having fun."

>>21244267
"Thank you, Lea, take care too."

Once she was gone, you looked down to Kaliel, and she was already readjusting, to sit in your lap.
"I don't think we'll be spending much time sleeping." you say.
"No, no we won't." She said, and kissed you.

For once, you wake up after a night of swamp brew... and you have no headache. Kaliel was curled up next to you, asleep... and your ring started buzzing.
<Your majesty, wake up!> Nahzit called. <We can't stop the demon! We're throwing all our spears and arrows but he's not stopping! He's coming this way... It's covered in ash or something, and he doesn't seem to be able to see.>
Suddenly, you were very, very awake, and Rikar was already in your hand.
