We really need to fit in another draining session before we go though, it'd suck to have alchemy drain for our first living alchemy lesso.

>>23942591
Let's make some food for L&L. A burger for Selene too.

Can't remember if that alchemy strain is gonna come off on it's own before we get to the Lotus sanctum or not, but if not we should drain Lunch.

We should also gather up a ton of foci for living alchemy.

This, get everything sorted, then hopefully we'll have time for some Lunch before we go.

You decide to have a nice workout and shower while you still have plenty of time before you head out. You climb on up to your workout room, have a nice, long stretch, and get ready to start doing a few martial arts routines and some lifting.

Roll Body to get a good workout in. I'll consider the first four linked 1d100 rolls.

You work up a nice sweat, then bouncily climb on down to the bedroom. You pass Liz and Selene in the kitchen on your way; they're working together to cook themselves some breakfast. You hop off and give each of them a big kiss before continuing. When you get down to the bedroom, you stroll on in to the bathroom.

Your hair is thick enough now that you can't really see scalp anymore, but it's still very short. Your body's keeping nicely toned, though spending more than a month and a half underground has started to make you get just a bit paler. Normally you would be spending plenty of time outside, even here into October. You climb in and take a quick shower, then stretch yet again once you're out to ease the tightness from the exercise out of your body.

You check your phone. It's about 7:00, which means there's only about an hour to go before you normally leave for class.

What do you do now?

>>23942815
Get some Lunch.

>>23942815

Lunch.

If we still have time grab any possibly relevant temp foci.

We should grab that bat on the way there.

By the way, here is something that I was thinking when I read through the argument about enchanting guns and that's its too much effort for too little.

What if we enchanted the projectiles themselves? Like, a "bullet" that has a fire elemental burst out when the it strikes the target.

It will also 100% catch the opponent by surprise since the would use a kinetic spell around them when someone is aiming at them with a pistol.

Picture related, its where I stole the idea from

>>23942879
Do you really want to waste hours on end enchanting individual bullets which may or may not even hit?

>>23942815
We should probably set tasks for lunch and breakfast before we go. In particular, I want Lunch to be making emotional manipulation foci.

>>23942879
Already went over that. The answer was no.

I actually like the idea of enchanting guns, but fucking around with the ammo is a waste. If you want to change the ammo then do it during the initial production when you're alchemizing it so that there's no wasted effort.

>>23942879
Better Idea. Create a foci making construct. Then create a foci factory. Get rich selling Foci to students.

>>23942879
The use doesn't match up to the time invested.

We're developing supernatural physical abilities and will soon start learning magical martial arts, it will be far more efficient just to superspeed up to someone and put a fist through their skull.

>>23942911
>If you want to change the ammo then do it during the initial production when you're alchemizing it so that there's no wasted effort.

That was my suggestion.

>>23942921
I doubt other students would trust us enough to buy foci from us. Which is wise, considering that it would be stupid to give out foci to other students unless we put in a trigger word to shut them down.

You said to bind an elemental to it.

I'm saying to make the gunpowder more reactive and the bullet more dense.

Changes you can make with alchemy are fine because that can be done in one step.

Incorporating conjuration means more steps and more rolls.

>>23942962
>I'm saying to make the gunpowder more reactive and the bullet more dense.

Wouldn't that fuck up the gun when you tried to fire these extra-reactive superdense bullets?

>>23942986
yes unless you already had a super gun made with magic.

>>23942986
Which is why you strengthen the gun.

It's still less steps than enchanting a new bullet every time.

>>23942849
this lets be early and meditate.

>>23942962
No I was saying to put a spirit to an already existing spirit.

My suggestion was to make a small container for a spirit that we can then shoot through a normal gun. No rolls needed to summon a preexisting spirit during battle.

>>23943022
>No I was saying to put a spirit to an already existing spirit.

I will never understand /tg/'s desire to shoehorn guns as the greatest thing ever into every quest.

>>23943022
He's saying the time it would take to setup that spirit delivery system, conjuring and binding a spirit to the bullet, would be much more efficiently spent doing almost literally anything else when it comes to combat preparation. He's correct.

You climb up to the sitting room looking for Lunch and find her still sleeping like a lazy cat. You wake her up by crouching over her and slapping her in the face a couple of times with your cock. She recoils, startled, then looks up at you, your cock resting on her face. "Suck it," you tell her simply. She does so immediately, giving long, slow licks up the shaft and sucking on your balls.

Roll Soul to drain her. I'll consider the first four linked 1d100 rolls.

Damn, that was rude of us.

I don't want to get her any clothing that is not a fetish outfit. But we can ask her if she wants us to pick anything up.

the only thing i can think of is a diagram of the chakra lines and points.

>>23943236
If we can get a bat and a rat their organs, skin, hair, blood, pretty much all the parts can be useful.

Condoms work for damn near everything.

Also I wanted to ask Carl about the possibility of using sorcery augment to give Max a sort of telekinesis. I guess it would function as, more or less, extra limbs formed from the same kind of energy that would make up a forcefield.

"Thanks for being a good little cocksucker," you tell Lunch, then stand up.

You consider getting together some temporary foci for living alchemy, but you're not sure what this lesson will even entail or what will be appropriate for it.

What do you do?

>>23943422
Let's just head off.

"Make sure to craft focus-crafting strain mitigation foci today," you tell Lunch, then climb down and get dressed in a tank top, sweat pants, and simple shoes. You head down to the sub-basement and tell your dad you're ready to get teleported to the Lotus sanctum. He follows you up to the outbound circle and, with an anticlimactic moment, you find yourself within strolling distance of the Lotus sanctum. You walk up and head on in through the doorway. There are very few shoes by the door and, on peering in to the main room, you appear to be one of the few students there.

Dane hasn't arrived.

You head up to Carl, who's having a small meal at one of the tables.

"Hello, Max," he says as you sit down. "What were you wondering about?"

"Is it possible to permanently augment myself with something like... I don't know, telekinetic arms?" you ask.

"Not easily," he says. "For the amount of effort, intricacy, and expertise involved in something like that, you would be better off just making a whole ton of foci for telekinesis spells. That is, if you even care enough about this sort of thing to spend that much time on it, instead of focusing on other things. Does that help?"

"Yes," you say. "I think so. Thanks." You head off to the bells after that. You may as well try giving them a ring or two.

Basically, if we have an "oh shit" moment the control-seed (what are we actually calling these things?) keeps us from panicking or acts as a temporary buff to our calm stat.

>>23944585
>you can see long, dark scars on his arms and a few on his face
Also he was taking on the SotA member for his circle.

Long scars sounds like claws, like the thing Petrov used to kill that Dextra.

SotA really, really has a hardon for summoning monsters. Every single member we know of has summoning beasties as their preferred avenue of attack.

I really don't want any possibility of our tattoos getting messed up.

>>23944745
And I'm speculating that she might be able to penetrate our anti-conjuration wards and any other hinderences we might have active at the time. Shrug, probably not, but it might be worth pursuing eventually (mid-game).

>>23944785
Agreed, but Dane probably has durability and any stacking augments maxed out given his paranoia. Still worth pursuing though.

>>23944710
well conjuration is likely the best school. It is used to power magic items. Teliport yourself throw bits of the sun around teliport out enemy hearts. Bind minions to your will.

It dose all the main functions of sorcery except anti magic and some sense spells. It is a vital addition to most major alchemy project and on anything magical it is basically poor mans enchantment. Conjuration Rocks.

>>23944785
Some things to consider getting high level physical augs.

>Get reduced sleep and food as high as possible.
We might fall asleep half way through if we're going for 20+ successes and we get unlucky.

>Augmenting alchemy vulnerability beforehand
We can undo it later. More rolls helps us all we can. It really comes down to increasing the overall rolls needed for an augment, but breaks it up into multiple sessions.

>Max treating her body like shit for a while to drop it down to 2 box.
A bit extreme, but it would help a lot. Definitely an over break thing.

And finally we need to max out alchemy, enchant, and then pump calm and focus as high as we can before we start hitting the roll ceiling where we fall asleep halfway through.

>>23944928
>>Max treating her body like shit for a while to drop it down to 2 box.
>A bit extreme, but it would help a lot. Definitely an over break thing.
Wouldn't that actually be harder to do with the reduced food aug?

>Max treating her body like shit for a while to drop it down to 2 box.

I thought it had been a while since you had a truly terrible idea, but there it is.

>>23944951
overeating junk food
I vote against this plan and the alchemy vulnerability but they would work.
Can we remove an aug without injury? what would that take?

>>23944928
Don't beneficial augments make it harder to raise base traits? Like, the stronger we get the lower the chance of us making progress on our body stat?

>>23944983
no the more base stat we have the more successes we need to augment.

>>23944976
We can get it back.

The only thing body does that the easier augments wouldn't make up for is acting as an hp bar.

>>23944996
We also get more dice though, and raising base stats takes forever at higher levels. I think we'd end up fucking ourselves over.

>>23945013
Do you know how fucking long it will take us to raise Body back up to 4 from 2?

A lot longer than it will take working up a few extra successes for augmentation.

It is a really shit idea.

Need I remind people that, amongst other things, Liz likes Max's physique, if we get all scrawny all of a sudden, she'll probably be rather upset.

>>23945035
It would be surreal as fuck. Max appears to be wasting away, but actually get's slowly stronger because of the augs.

>>23944983
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Quest:Blatant_Fetish_Quest#Self_Enchantment

>>23945013
but it will be harder and slower to get the stat back than the added difficulty of the augment.
Plus it is harder to fix your body if you screw it up than to make it good in the first place not to mention how much easier it is to get worse again.
>>23945025
I was explaining the system this idea is like a 0.9 on the heart of power scale.

I agree with your assessment completely.

also >>23945035

>>23945035
I also feel like it would be really out of character for Max to let herself go. She's shown throughout this quest that she really cares about her health.

I have to agree with Liz on this one.

>>23945070
Having read the wiki entry, am I the only one that kinda wants to give the Meals vulnerabilities to enchantment and alchemy?

>>23945176
Why?

>>23945176
yes we want lunch at least as useful as possible.
maybe frenchey but not breakfast.

>>23944585
We should ask how the fight went, although he's alive so obviously not too bad.

>>23945187
So we can modify them easier, obviously. I'm not sure we want to change much on them now though.

>>23945187
To make it easier to amend our modifications of their psyches, and because we're going to have to do some level of body modification on each if we ever plan on taking them out of the scholomance. I don't know about Breakfast but I imagine that Lunch's former family has enough connections that someone might be able to ID her off a security camera. (how would they get access to a remote convenience store camera? Magic or connections? Just a thought)

>>23945176
I don't know it has good and bad sides especially if we want Lunch to be our sniper support some day. It is tempting I'm just not convinced.

>>23945271
Why would we possibly want Lunch to be our sniper support?

It's a big risk letting her outside, and by the time we've set up wards to make it doable, it would be easier to just summon up some spirit to watch our back instead.

"Why do you still have those?" you ask, gesturing vaguely towards his scars.

"I'm still working on them, and they've been resistant to magical healing. I'm just lucky it didn't get any of my limbs off; I would have probably bled out. I don't think I have any cord strong enough to use as a tourniquet with my upgrades; I'm working to rectify that now," he says. "It's taken all week to get them just down to scars. The target didn't survive. Regrettable, but not unexpected. If things continue at this rate, I'll be at or near the top of my class by the end of the school year."

"That's great," you say. "Are there any safety precautions to think about before we do this? Any suggestions for temporary foci?"

"Don't do this unless you're very sure about what you're doing; that's the most important safety warning I can give. As for foci, I'm sure you've noted that advanced applications of magic tend to require much more specific foci. That's true for this. Sacrificing an entire animal or an animal's heart or something doesn't mean jack shit if you're trying to modify the adrenal glands. Unless you're good - like Carl-good - this is something that requires specialized planning, training, preparation, and expertise. You ready to start? No need to rush if you aren't, I would rather you have your questions answered now than be wondering about things while I'm showing you how this works."

Good point. Thought we were using a dryad for sniping, but I skip speculative conversations from time to time. I do think we need to change Lunch's physical appearance (and if necessary/possible, her genetic code) to keep her from getting traced before we start letting her out frequently.

>>23945305
ok lets start.

Rolled 98

>>23945305
I'm ready.

>>23945305
"This is starting to sound like I'm going to need to memorize medical textbooks for anything worthwhile.."

>>23945305
Let's get started.

>>23945340
I thought we weren't using anyone at all as a "specialized sniper" because it's a stupid idea.

But there you go.

>>23945305
"It looks like I'm going to start reading up on my anatomy and biology after this. Are there any Self-Augments that you know of that work well with this?

I think I'm as ready as I will be, I'll be sure to take everything slow and careful."

>>23945301
It was an idea that got bated around and i used it as an example. I'm not proposing it sorry ti be unclear.

>>23945305
I think i am good for now. I'm sure i will have questions later when i understand more things.

>>23945357
specialized may be to strong a word but having sniper support is a powerful advantage.

>>23945305
"I don't know enough of the process to ask any good questions.

I guess I might aswell ask if there's anything not so obvious I shouldn't do that'll kill me."

>>23945386
Perhaps, but I'd rather make use of expendable constructs designed specifically for the purpose rather than putting our family at risk in that role.

>>23945357
By "sniping" I meant something along the lines of creating bursts of kinetic energy in the target's brain or super heating the air in their lungs. Make use of her sorcery bonus.

>>23945411
Why would she have to leave the tower to snipe someone with magic?

>>23945411
true even Fap and Gaviscon are massively more expendable than Breakfast or Lunch not to mention our daughters.

>>23945305
"Would it be worth self- enchanting to boost focus?" If he says 'no' get to the lesson.

Firebombs with magic legs stuck to em

>>23945463
He will think you mean the aug not our new spell. otherwise that is an ok question.

>>23945463
>>23945485
We already have focus 2...

>>23945476
Wait is this a ba-bomb joke or am I just seeing things?

>>23945476
yes them and our spotter spirit network are going on the long term to do list.

>>23945493
our emotion spell stacks. So we can temporarily have 3

>>23945493
And I'm suggesting a temporary buff on top of that. We don't have to go with it, but it is an option.

>>23945476
Bind a powerful fire elemental into a small body, let it "firebomb" by rolling elementalism. Obviously we'd raise that to max, and give it enough mind that the legs are relevant, which is probably just a dot or two. Not a bad plan but I don't know what we'd do with one any time in the foreseeable future.

>>23945519
Wouldn't it also be reusable by virtue of being a construct (assuming its shell survives)?

>>23945476
>>23945499
>>23945506
>>23945519

Even the "Shooting elementals through a gun" sounds easier and less time consuming that this guys.

>>23945546
Aren't they suggesting porting the explosive elemental to the target?

"Well, let's get started," you say.

"Sounds good to me," he agrees. "Today I'm going to try to teach you the basic ideas behind making meaningful modifications to someone's glandular systems. The specifics change depending on what you're trying to do and to which glands, so this is just going to be the core principles. You can get creative and subtle with this, though, and it's terribly useful if you are."

Roll Mind to try to learn this. You get a +2 for Focus, a +2 for Calm, and a +1 for Memory. I'll consider the first seven linked 1d100 rolls. Each roll represents four hours of being tutored.

>Uh oh, I hope we didn't just hit 4 mind. That would be inconvenient for mental augs...

what

>>23945695
Augments cost the level of the stat they boost times the level of the augment you're going for.

So at 3 mind focus+3 would cost 9 successes.

At 4 mind focus+3 costs 12 successes.

>>23945599
>>23945607
You take to it almost naturally and understand the core concepts perfectly. Even Dane seems mildly and pleasantly surprised that you pick it up so fast. "Well, then," he tells you. "That's pretty much everything. I guess you can go home now if you want. Or, if you have a specific application you have in mind, I could help you plan it. My first try at this was increasing my own adrenaline production - which was a mistake - but you could do all kinds of strange things, like giving someone diabetes, making someone's pituitary gland hyperactive, or even causing someone's gonads to which which hormone they produce."

What do you do?

>>23945695
We just got five successes on a study roll. I wanted to get a few +2 and +3 mind augments while they were relatively cheap.

>>23945724
... could we make our cum taste like vanilla icecream?

>>23945738
But then Liz would be missing out on the taste of our sperm.

>>23945724
This sounds like a great skill to incorporate into our emotion-affecting field spell, actually.

Oy blatant fetish quest

Which fetishes is this quest about?

>>23945738

well maybe Rockey road.

>>23945772
How so?

>>23945772
>Diabeetus field

>>23945543
Yes. Which is good since it wouldn't be worth the investment otherwise.
Added future benefit, it will be able to heal our fire dryad with its high elementalism.

>>23945775
Pick one and add it (not scat/water sports)

>>23945738
mother of god we must do this.

>>23945738
Or we could spike or cum with a narcotic, but that suggestion is probably going to fly....

>>23945803
>probably not going to fly
Whoops

"Can I make my cum taste like ice cream?" you ask.

Dane gives you a long, cold stare, then stands up and leaves.

What do you do now?

>>23945803
we could make it like the stuff Selene will make when she is older, but for right now make it taste like Ice cream.

I think its a great Idea.

>>23945738
That seems like a bad plan. No practical benefit, lots of way to go wrong.

>>23945724
Ask about altering chemical balance to put off sleep for even longer with minimal side effects, perhaps by messing with melatonin or using progesterone to make healing and repair faster and better and keep ourself in perfect condition.

>>23945592
>that is far more complex than punting legs on a hand grenade animating them then sicking them on our enemies.
No it isn't. To animate the legs, we need to bind an elemental. It's the same damn work investment, but one isn't expended on a single use.

>>23945775
All of them, but especially BDSM and mindrape.

>>23945823
Dammit, why do you always take the joke suggestions?

>>23945786
Increase potency of the spell by modifying targets' gland production to influence emotions alongside the way we're already doing?

>>23945823
I wonder if we're getting any more lessons from him? Might want to mutter "Ok, can't take a joke." under our breath and hope he hears it.

>>23945844
Because they get an overwhelming majority of of support. Don't make them if you don't want that to be a serious risk.

>>23945823
Next let's ring the bell with our dick.

>>23945823
Teehee.

What time is it now? Time for +2str?

>>23945870
Noonish.

>>23945832
>No practical benefit, lots of way to go wrong.
And it's still one of the best suggestions in this thread.

>>23945853
You do realize that this only sparks the arguments that you hate so much right? Not to call you a hypocrite, but you aren't making the discussions in those threads any easier.

>>23945883
Ok, so no augs for now.

>>23945823
look around see who is here, if lin showed up yet, chat with people.

>>23945883
We're supposed to be getting back home by 5, not enough time to do anything really.

Say goodby to Carl, apologize to Dane for offending him with our joke, and head home.

I hate you all. For fuck's sake, don't suggest stupid shit like that.

>>23945823
If we can catch up to him and ask about >>23945832
These, and about what happened when he tried Adrenaline.

>>23945853
You are so no-fun-allowed sometimes Femcock.

>>23945885
No it really wasn't. It was just 'lol randumb' and cut us off from getting more progress or asking more questions about Living Alchemy. It's stupid no matter what metric you use.

>>23945903
>I hate you all. For fuck's sake, don't suggest stupid shit like that.

It was obviously a joke, geez.

>>23945908
Actions have consequences. In this case, responding to an offer from an upperclassman for help on complex and advanced magic with a joke about the taste of semen resulted in said upperclassman being offended. I hope it was as fun for you as it was for me.

>>23945901
>apologize to Dane for offending him with our joke
Yeah I guess. If he isn't here then text him and say sorry.

Carl heard us too. No way he didn't. This should be good when we say bye to him.

>>23945853
How are we doing on time? Has the group meditation started?


>>23945859
Really? Whatever, back to voicing opposition and ignoring the extra 5+ minutes between posts our little fights over the dumbest things cause.

Don't dickslap the bell

>>23945903
I agree with you
>>23945883 lets do this >>23945903

>>23945934
Yeah, but responding to a joke post on 4chan isn't intended to be an action in-game with consequences in-game.

>>23945934
Are you sure that it wasn't YOU that was offended?

>>23945953
Then don't suggest it or give it support. Or actually say it's a joke. When it's the most-voted option, it gets done, no matter how retarded it is.

>>23945934
You're a cruel mistress.

>>23945934
sure as fuck wasn't a joke we are totally doing this.

>>23945933
A joke that cut off our study time about a subject we really ought to be learning more about. You all should know that if you suggest and agree to obviously retarded stuff like that it'll get taken. For fuck's sake.

FemCOCK has literally always handled it this way.

>>23945738
I know its a joke. But hell no.

>>23945953
Then maybe the Anton's involved in the joke should have greentexted it instead of offering it as a legitimate suggestion. I hate it when Max does this kind of dumb shit, but I dislike people seriously expecting game runners to ignore this with mass support because they are dumb or suicidal.

>>23945981
hahaha that reminds me of mt parents.

Please Femcock, have a heart. I made that as a joke and others joined in. I want to take it back.

If we are talking about living Alchemy on other people, how to remotely increase Melatonin production.

femCock has made this several times before. Whenever anon supports something stupid, it's punished in story.

So just fucking stop. fem doesn't need to tell us that something is stupid, ffs, ice cream cum, are you retarded? Holy fuck.

Dane is doing us a favor, this was our reward for helping him kill his number 1 enemy in his circle.

>>23946018
Whatever. Max put the foot in the mouth. Happens all the time in real life. Can we move on?

>>23946021
You live with your shame. You fucked up, it's not only your fault because some other idiots ran with it, but you should be ashamed of what you did.

>>23946021

Go fuck yourself. Next time suggest a decent course of action alongside with the joke post, so it's not taken seriously, you retard.

>>23945823

>>23946018
It was a perfectly reasonable to make a damn joke. Apparently now you need to include "THIS IS A JOKE FEMCOCK THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A SERIOUS SUGGESTION AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS ONE" in every post not seriously suggesting an immediate course of action.

>>23946059
It is pretty funny that Max only does completely retarded things at Lotus-time.

>>23946043
Yes, and we just rewarded him taking his time and effort to teach us by saying something beyond embarrassing and childish. Everyone who supported that fucktard post is at fault here, not Dane.

>>23946089
And by funny, I mean completely obnoxious. If we're going to be stupid, let's be stupid where no one can see us.

>>23946083
The joke wasn't the problem, it was everyone supporting it as a legitimately funny thing to do.

>>23946092
Femcock is at fault here too, don't just handwave it away.

>>23946092
>Everyone who supported that fucktard post is at fault here
Playing into a joke a bit is not the same thing as supporting a post as though it was a serious suggestion.

>>23945961
We are all here to have fun. If this was a game table and someone said a stupid joke like that and everyone laughed and elaborated on the bull shit tangent then got serious like in
>>23945769
>>23945803

You as GM would not take the joke as an action. Typing has no sarcasm or joke font.
Tone is totally lost this was a BS side conversation. You fucked us for a joke that Irl you wold have ignored (you are to good a GM not to).
If we piss you off with stupid shit tell us don't get passive aggressive about it.

>>23946081
We've been at this for 90+ threads. People should know by now that if something is suggested it will be ran with, especially when people respond saying that we should do it.

Everybody blamin everybody needs ta stop. We made our choices now lets move on and salvage what we can.

>>23946106
I have always and will always take the majority vote. If you have a problem with that, live with it.

LET US MOVE ON WITH THE GAME

>>23946052
Nobody ever said they supported it save Snapple, they just made similar jokes. Femcock needs to stop confusing responses with legitimate support.

You run after Dane. "Hey, wait, come on!" you say. "It was just a joke!"

Dane stops and turns around to address you. "I get that, but living alchemy isn't something that should be joked about. This is something you're not even normally taught until the second circle, and it has the potential to go dramatically wrong, which would make using it for things like what you suggested frankly tragic. It will be as much my fault as yours if you do something stupid or terrible with it. So, do you want to sit down and have me help you with something? Hell, I'm even good to just sit around joking, just not about something so serious."

What do you do?

We've been through this argument before when you tards went with the "hit the bell with our dick" option

its been done, shut the fuck up and move on, either apologize to Dane or do something else but for fucks sake stop arguing

>>23946141
no, it was addressed in the quest and we were told to stop being retarded

>>23946141
He did pay attention when the majority of people wanted to try snapping Sanjay's neck in the open, and we only managed to not do it because Liz stopped us.

You know what, I don't think I'm going to follow this quest anymore. Between the frequently abysmal rolls, the never ending debating over nothing, and the fact that apparently Femcock is bound and determined to take every opportunity to make the protagonist look like a complete idiot (this is hardly the first time), I'm just not really having fun with it anymore. I'm just finding myself increasingly frustrated and annoyed.
