"The worst pain."

"Could you just use telepathy on us to find out how to use your mouth?"

>>24073075
"yep that will tend to happen, just chew lightly.
and couldn't you just borrow one of our experiences on using a mouth to figure out how to eat/talk?"

>>24073075
Remember to take pill after breakfast.

"The worst pain." You say. "Could you just use telepathy on us to find out how to use your mouth?"
"Ee cood." she said, and reached out to touch your mind. "If yuu dunt mind."
You closed your eyes, and Jilly pressed her palm into your forehead. You felt her gingerly touch your mind, and the memories of you chewing, talking, breathing... and then she opened her eyes again.

"Thank you." She said, with a grin, and took another bite, starting to chew. Then her eyebrows met.
<... I don't have the swallowing parts.> She said, suddenly. <I need, um, something to...>

"Here." Your dad said, handing her a small container. Jilly held it up to her mouth, and spit the chewed food out.
"Thank you." She said again. "It's really good tasting. But it's weird. Human tongues taste things so differently than nagala tongues do."

>>24073181
"Nagala tongues are the weird ones. They don't like ice cream!"

>>24073181
"Yep! And there's only one of them as well!"

>>24073181
"Sometimes being less sensitive is an advantage. Wait untill you taste ice cream!"

"Nagala tongues are the weird ones." You say. "They don't like ice cream!"
"They just taste like chemicals." Jilly said.
"Could be because they didn't have any dairy." Alex said.
"Maybe. Dairy makes me really really sick." Jilly said. "It's... miserable. I ooze from my spiracles."

She shivered, and took another bite, eating rather well.

"I'm curious." Sarvesh said. "Would you mind showing me what nagala and human tongues taste like?"
"Okay!" Jilly said, shooting him a smile, and pressing her hand against the thick shell that curved around Sarvesh's head. Sarvesh's eyes widened a fraction.
"... That's... really a splendid thing." He said. "All of those things were almost as good as clam."

>>24073280
"What did you show him, Jilly?"

>>24073280
"Ooh, now I want to try."
Stop not being Exa, Exa.

>>24073280
"Clam? That's your favourite food?"

>>24073280
>>24073181
>Whoops! These are me!

"What did you show him, Jilly?"
"These." He said. "And the garden outside."
"Clam? That's your favorite food?"
"Stuffed with chicken, and breaded, with cheese and chocolate layers on top, yes." Sarvesh said. "It's very interesting to eat, and tasty, to boot."

>>24073359
"That's an awful lot of different flavors on one dish, isn't it? Can you tell between each of them?"

>>24073359
"That sounds weird... maybe I should try it sometime!"

>>24073359
"What does everyone want to do today by the way? Spend more time on the beach, stay here, go into town?"

"That's an awful lot of flavors on one dish, isn't it? Can you tell between each of them?"
"We don't focus on flavor." Sarvesh said. "We focus on texture and feel. The hard chocolate shell cracks into shards, while the cheese and bread all sticks together when you peel it off. It's quite luxurious."
"That sounds weird... Maybe I should try it sometime!"
"You should. Perhaps I'll make it for you." He said.
"What does everyone want to do today, by the way? Spend more time on the beach, stay here, go into town?"
"Let's go into town," Alex said. "Until it gets hot, then we can go swimming. We need, and I mean NEED, to get Jilly some Coyaki."

>>24073466
"I agree, weird crab ice cream cookies for all!"

>>24073466
"Coyaki for all !!!, then maybe visit the graves from (idk the ship name)

>>24073466
"I'd forgotten completely! Of course. That's what we'll do."

>>24073466
Didn't we want to do something in the town?
You can take this as a question to Einstein.
Also still reminidng the pill

>>24073480
That's a good point. Maybe visit the graves.

"I'd forgotten completely!" you say, and take your pill. Your mom gave you a worried look when she saw the bottle in your hand. "Of course. That's what we'll do. And then maybe visit the graves from Ishelda."
"It'll be a bit crowded." Your mother warned. "At least near the graves. Be careful, don't get seperated, and just message us, Heather, or Alex if you get lost."

"Okay, Coyaki for all!" You say, and spring to your feet.
"Alright!" Jilly said, matching your exuberance.
"Be careful on the monorail, you!" Mom said.
"We will, Ms. Leery!" Alex said, and waved, as you all made your way out.

As time passed, eventually you arrived at the mall, where the coyaki man was sitting there. The mall, this early, was entirely empty, except for him.
"... He doesn't look a day older from the last time I saw him. And he's always open, isn't he? Strange." Alex said.

>>24073632
"Hello, vendor of exotic goods. I would like to buy some lobster icecream. For me, and all of my friends."

>>24073632
"Ancient Chinese secreeet Alex."

>>24073632
"Yeah, maybe he just loves selling his product."

>>24073632
The coyaki guy takes his shit super-serious, so we should probably be prepared to explain that Jilly spitting out the coyaki isn't necessarily because she thinks it's bad, but that she can't swallow it with a transgened mouth.

>>24073632
Coyaki man confirmed for Void Queen in disguise.

>>24073632
I'm not sure if mom is worried because we're popping pills, or if she thinks we're on the pill. Either way we should have explained.

>>24073728
Yeah, just tell her the pills are for our brain damage and she'll stop worrying about us!
But yes, we should probably tell her there's nothing to worry about.

"Yeah, maybe he just loves selling his product." You say, and walk up to him. "Hello, vendor of exotic goods. I would like to buy some lobster ice cream. For me, and all my friends."
"Very well!" he said. "One each?"
You nod.
"Understood!" He said, and pulled open a container, bringing out enough coyaki for everybody. You never understood how someone could keep the cookie and chocolate chips on the outside warm, while keeping the ice cream on the inside cold.

You take a bite out of yours just as Jilly does hers, and her eyes- even her secondary eyes in her temples- widen.
"That's.. delicious." She said. "This is really really good!"

Experimentally, Sarvesh nommed on his own, peeling back the cookie layer and eating the inside of the ice cream.
"This almost seems like centaur cuisine." He said.
"It was partially based off of centaur cuisine." The man said. "Oh, 70 years ago, the first stall for this wonderous food was created by two human men and a Mzlp'hack*tha woman, and she came up with the idea of adding the layers so that her own people could enjoy it as well!" The old man said, cackling and pointing at Sarvesh.

>>24073792
"That's awesome!"

>>24073792
"70 years? How old are you? And make it short."

>>24073792
"How long have you been selling lobster-icecream?"

>>24073792
>>24073845
add can you tell us all more about the history of Coyaki?

>>24073847
He's old enough to know that with age comes experience, with experience knowledge, with knowledge hunger, with hunger food.

>>24073792
"That's quite a significant history."

>>24073867
He gave us the whole fucking lecture last time and we didn't listen.

>>24073882
jilly and Sarvesh diden't.

"That's awesome!" You say.
"Exactly!"
"70 years ago?"
"Almost! The years stretch on."
"How old are you? And make it short."
"Oh, my age hardly matters. What does matter is this wonderful food."
"How long have you been selling lobster-icecream?"
He gave you a cold glare. "That's not its proper name, I'm afraid."
"Can you tell us all more about the history of Coyaki?"
"Of course!" He said, and started his lecture again, babbling on about how the first stall was created on earth, and how every corporation and business always wanted to know how it was made, the secrets held close to the owners' hearts, and finally, the three decided to take down their stall, and to build new stalls far across the galaxy, to spread their food to the rest of the UPA.
"And part of that first stall... Part of it sits right here." He said, rapping his knuckles against his own stall. "It's a beautiful story, isn't it?"

>>24073914

>>24073914
"Does anything ever stop you selling it, Old man?"

"I cry errytime." You say, wiping at your eyes.

"... That's very interesting." Sarvesh said, and took another bite. Then he looked down at it, as his mandibles got to work. "What's more interesting is how you can peel it in half, and then lick the ice cream from the side, as if it were Jaz*zzkal."
The old man chuckled.
"Clever young, erm, thing."
"I'm male."
"Clever young man!" The old man said.

"Does anything ever stop you selling it, Old man?"
"Nothing! Not rain, not snow, not illness... Not even the colonists' burial could stop me." He said, banging his hand against the stall.
"May I have another?" Sarvesh asked.
"For free!" The old man said, and handed him another.

>>24073981
"Amazing stuff. Thanks, Old Man."

>>24073981
"Where were the colonists buried?"

"Amazing stuff." You say, and stick a claw into your mouth. "Thanks, Old Man."
"No problem! For listening to my story and actually paying attention, this time, feel free to have another one, everyone."

You take your second, wrapped in paper to go. "Where were the colonists buried?" you ask.
"On the outskirts of the city were a few." The man said. "There were quite a few colonists, so every city has a few colonists. I think in a few minutes, a long distant relative of one of the colonists will be making a speech."

>>24074059
"Let's go listen. Then we'll head to the beach again."

>>24074059
We might as well check out that speech, considering we were planning on checking out the colonists' gravesite anyhow.

That, and the fact that something interesting is probably going to happen there since someone brought it up!

"Let's go listen." You say.
"Alright." Anna said. "Let's go."

After using Einstein to find out exactly where the gravesite was, your group climbed into the monorail, making the other riders rather uncomfortable.
When you finally got there, the monorail hissing to a stop, you climbed out, and looked over the heads of the hundred people there, to the graves themselves. Standing at the podium, with hot pink hair... was Ellie.

"-We've never met these people." She was saying. "We've never known them. They died hundreds of years before this planet was terraformed. But my great, great aunt's great grandmother's sister... She, Jalene, went here. She came here, to Heaven's Jewel, to the place where we live and work and love. She was a citizen of this place long, long before we were."

She nodded, and then cleared her throat. "They should be respected. They were adventurers, explorers, colonists. they were ready to make this place home. For us. And that's what we need to remember."

"My name is Ellie, thank you." She said, with a nod. Polite applause followed her as she set down the podium.

>>24074221
"Oh. That's, um, unexpected."

>>24074221
Find Ellie!

>reacquire tripcode!

>>24074221
"That was nice. Let's go to the beach and enjoy it whilst we've still got some time left."

>>24074221
>Damnit.

>>24074221
Ahhh, I kind of want to invite her to the beach now.

>>24074221
" well its a small universe after all"

>>24074059
>"There were quite a few colonists, so every city has a few colonists.

This also brings up an interesting point. It's been mentioned numerous times that we're from Heaven's Jewel; it's where we tell people we're from, it's in our Extranet address, etc... but there are obviously multiple settlements on the planet.

So when talking to other people from Heaven's Jewel, where would we tell them we're from? I assume the different cities have names of some sort, but not sure it's ever been mentioned what they would be.

>>24074221
Oh hey, it's that lady. Time to keep a lookout for her mysterious (probably psionic) boyfriend. Maybe have a chat.

>>24074305
>boyfriend.
Girlfriend.
I find it more likely that she was trying to hide being a lesbian than that she told us the wrong greek letter for no reason. If you're going to make up a name use something that's actually a name.

>>24074305
>On the galactic scale, cities are essentially too small to mention. It'd be like saying 'I'm from [A small town in minnesota]' when you're talking to someone in europe.
>When you're talking to someone else from Heaven's Jewel, though, it would make sense to say what city you're from. It's called Poseidon, by the way.

"Well, it's a small universe after all," You say. "Let's go find Ellie."
"Let's." Alex said. "Did you meet her last time you were here, Anna?"
Anna nodded.

Eventually, in the corner, looking down at a new gravestone, you see Ellie, looking uncharacteristically dour. Then she turned around, and shot you the widest grin.
"Heather!" She said, pulling you into a strangling hug. "And Annie!"
She dragged Anna into the hug as well, with her other hand.
"And Alex! And I'm all out of arms, so shit sucks for you!" She said, giggling.

>>24074391
"Haha. Poor Alex, <Always missing out on the action.>"

"That was a lovely speech, Ellie. We were wondering if you'd like to come to the beach with us before we have to leave again."

>>24074404
Alex doesn't Psijinks you dumbfuck

>>24074391
"That was a nice speech, Ellie."

>>24074391
"So how's Eeps? Been treating you well?"

>>24074408
It's not meant to be heard by him.

>>24074391
Group hug time!
"And there are other friends of mine! Meet Jilly, Sarvesh,Summer and Damien!"
"That was quite a speech. Didn't know one of the colonists were your relatives."

>>24074335
Checking again, she wasn't really shifty about it until she was telling us the person's name, and had mentioned that he was a guy before we got nosey about it.

More likely he told her to keep him on the DL, and she only remembered it mid-gossip and just swapped his actual name with a different greek letter because she isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

That's assuming they still teach us enough about the Greeks in the far future that the average high schooler would be able to into greek letters off the top of their head. Dunno.

>>24074391
Though I suppose what with our city being named Poseidon, there's probably enough Greek stuff that's stuck around.

"Haha, poor Alex." You say. "That was a nice speech, Ellie."
"Thanks!" she said. "It was a really big coincidence that I was related to this girl, so they wanted me to make a speech about it."
"We were wondering if you'd like to come to the beach with us, before we have to leave again."
"Would I?!" She asked, grinning. "Of course!"

She whirled over to the rest of the group- Summer, Damien, Sarvesh, and Jilly- and nodded. "My name is Ellie." She said. "I'm Heather's friend from *forever* ago."
"And these are other friends of mine! Meet Jilly, Sarvesh, Summer, and Damien."
"Pleased to meetcha!" She said, and started stripping off her blouse. She had a hot pink bikini top underneath, and tied her blouse around her hips, making an impromptu sarong. "Let's go!"

>>24074416
This, hehehehe

>>24074454
"Okay!"

"How'd they find out you were related to some of the colonists by the way?"

>>24074454
I can't decide and I don't want to shitpost so I ask :
Should we tell her that we found the ship?
Should we tell her about our abilities?

>>24074554
tell her of the ship

>>24074435
If that is the case, we can basically narrow it down to:
>Delta: Creation of inorganic matter
>Theta: Organic transmutation, creation and control
>Psi: [DATA MISSING]. On this entry, most of the tables were empty.
Epsilon doesn't seem like he has a girlfriend. Girls and people who aren't born yet aren't likely. Theta is male but the other two we don't know.

So in the spirit of >>24074416 I'm going to try "How are you getting on with Theta?" and see if we can catch her out. If not then we just got the letter confused, no biggie.

>>24074454
"Are you happy those colonists turned up, Ellie?"

>>24074554
Abilities, no. Ship, maybe, edging towards no, since it brings up the question on what are we doing traveling space. I'd say we mention that we found the ship if she brings it up somehow like "I wonder how the colonists got here?"

"Okay!" You say. "How'd they find out you were related to some of the colonists, by the way?"
Ellie giggled. "I found it out myself. Did a report on my own history, and looked back through my parents' lines. Turns out I was related to one of the groups of colonists back in the UNE, so I did some more looking! I got a 100 percent, *and* I get a ton of extra credit for doing this."
"Are you happy those colonists turned up, Ellie?" You ask.
"Yeah, of course!" Ellie said. "Otherwise they'd still be floating in space forever." She said. "Good thing those anonymous people found it."
"Also, how are you getting on with Theta?" you ask.
"With who?" She asked you, her eyebrows meeting.

>>24074594
>Epsilon doesn't seem like he has a girlfriend.
Actually I'm ruling him out completely because she said she had met him yesterday the first time we talked to her and that was after we'd met Epsilon because we were all freaking out that it might be him so that would mean he was floating alone in space and not going on dates.

>>24074675
"You said you'd got a boyfriend? It was some sort of Greek letter."

>>24074675
"Did I say Theta? I meant Sigma/whatevershetoldus! He's treating you well, right? Or he'll have to answer to me!

>>24074594
I mean, OOC, this seems like a perfectly fine plan, but it seems a little underhanded for it to be in character. More likely it'd be something like "so how are things with your spaaaaace boyfriend?"

That said...

>>24074675
"You know, your spaaaaaace boyfriend! With the weird name!"

>>24074712
Epsilon, she said.

>>24074675
"Yeah, must have been quite a reward to whoever found it."

>>24074748
yes, it was quite a reward*

>Do you have any pictures of him?"
>"Maaybe~" She said, hugging her hairclip personacom. She gave you a knowing smile.
Fuck all this cloak and dagger shit. Just sneak a technopathy peek at her pictures and see who it is.

>>24074740
>"His name is.. um... um... Sigma!"

"You know, your spaaaaaace boyfriend!" you say. "With the weird name?"
"I don't..." she said, eyes vacant for a moment. "Oh! Yeah! Him!" She lied. "Oh, things are going fine. We met up this week."
<... I figure I should tell you, but she's lying.> Jilly said, quietly.
"Ooh, you got a boyfriend?" Alex asked.
"Well, he's not exactly a boyfriend..." Ellie said. "Just a friend. But anyway, shouldn't we get to the beach now? That would be fun, hahaha."

>>24074781
Pretty sure psionic espionage is like, archetypal "cloak and dagger shit".

Not that I'm necessarily against it, but still.

>>24074812
Pull Ellie aside, so we don't embarrass her.
"Aww Ellie, I was so happy for you. Why would you lie about that to me?"

>>24074812
>we met up this week
she said that last time we talked.

<I know, Jiljil.>

>>24074812
<Yeah, that was obvious. I was just trying to work out if she was actually in contact with any of the Armatek Psions.>

>>24074812
Time to hit the beach then.

>>24074812
"You're looking great, having a boyfriend seems like it's done you good."

>>24074862
<Specifically, Sigma - you know, the one that I can't help directly?)

>>24074871
This is probably a good plan, even if we do plan on resuming the same topic of conversation immediately, so that we're not hanging out next to the giant crowd of tourists while trying to discuss what is probably a pretty private topic of conversation.

>>24074812
<Thanks, Jilly. I was just testing something.>

>>24074812
"Let us take the beach by storm!"

You sigh, and tug everyone to the monorail. Setting it to the beach, you pull Ellie to the back of the monorail.
"Aww, Ellie, I was so happy for you." You say. "Why would you lie about that to me?"

Ellie's lower lip quivered, and then she pouted.
"I just wanted to look cool in front of your new friends." She said.

>>24074941
Hug her, "You could have told embarrassing stories about me from when we were young, for example. It's okay."

>>24074941
Give her a hug.
"Aww Ellie, but you are cool! Nobody here has a boyfriend or a girlfriend."
"You're looking really good, you know, and Alex just came out of a messy break up, why don't you hang around with him today?"

>>24074941
"Aww, you didn't need to do that, I'm sure they'll love you whether you have a boyfriend or not."

>>24074941
Go in for the hug.
"Sssh. It's okay, you don't need to do that. You looked cool when you were giving that speech and stuff."

>>24074982
>trying to force a rebound relationship
Not cool, dude.

>>24074941
Insert girl power monologue about how you don't need to have a boyfriend to be cool here.

[spoilers]he says, as we are all tripping over ourselves attempting to secure our protagonist's one true love[/spoilers]

>>24074992
this one say it

>>24075000
Maybe Ellie is our one true love.

"Aww, Ellie, but you *are* cool," You say, and pull her in a hug. "Nobody here has a boyfriend or girlfriend. And you did look cool when you were giving that speech and stuff."
"Really? Because I thought you and Annie, well..." She said, trailing off. "She does give you those eyes, after all."

>>24074992
Seconding this.

>>24075038
"W-what? Really?"

>>24075038
"W-what eyes?"

>>24075038
"Ahah, n-n-no, I don't think Anna is that way, er, inclined. Last time we were here was a genuine shopping trip."

>>24075038
Lean in really really close and whisper.
"Sure, she does, but she won't admit it."
"She's really unsure about the whole lesbian thing and I'm not going to force her to confront that about herself."

>>24075056
>>24075072
this
add a you think so?

>>24075038

"What eyes?"

>>24075080

not this.

>>24075084
>>24075072
>>24075056
guys, if we play ignorant we're putting it on. we've commented directly on this before, to anna no less, and we've been told OOC, and have IC leaked telepathy knowledge, and Asmodeus has told us personally. I'm fine with saying it, sure, but don't think that we don't actually know.

>>24075080
I'd rather not go with this, it sounds creepy.

>>24075038
"What eyes? What are you thinking about?" Say this with a little bit of panic.

>>24075117
need more conformation

Err, ya we already suspect Anna has at very least a crush on us.

>>24075117
This is true, we should probably say something more along the lines of "Uh, yeah, I know, but I'm not really sure how I feel yet, it's all pretty confusing."

>>24075117
Heather is magically a pure maiden now.

>>24075161
Heather's a little bit dense, sweetie.

>>24075186
Fuck that shit.

>>24075038
"Ellie, kiss me so we can make all the boys jealous."

Lets get this shit going.

>>24075186
>Like I said before. There's a difference between backstory and personality.

"Ahah, n-no, I don't think Anna is that way, er, inclined." You say. "Last time we were here was a genuine shopping trip."
"Ooooh." She said. "Okay, I gotcha."
She giggled, and clapped you on the shoulder.

Soon enough, the monorail stopped, and you and your friends climbed out, looking out to the beach.
"Ooouh, who built this castle?!" Ellie asked, sitting down in front of it. "It's really big."
"I did, and Heather did." Summer said, sitting down next to her.
"How do you make things without, er, hands?" Ellie asked.
"Um..." Summer said. "With my paws!"
Jilly giggled.
"Let's take a swim!" She said.
"Yes, let's." Sarvesh said, finishing up his second coyaki, wading into the water.

>>24075234
These comments about Waifuing are the reason we're having all this problem!

We started off as a decent flirt, and then waifu arguments and now >>24075186.
It's bullshit.
Why the fuck can't you guys play a character right?

>>24075259

maybe we can ask summer for diving goggles and take a look at the under water creatures.

Kind of want Heather to have drunk sex with someone just to put an end to this stupidity, and usher in a whole new age of stupidity!

>>24075259
No we cant swim yet we just ate got to lounge around first, we don't want to get a cramp and drowned

>>24075259
We're going to work on our tan.
Pull out a towel and set it somewhere in the half shade. Grab the lotion and apply it to ourselves. "Anyone else need the lotion?"
"Can someone do my back."

Let's talk to whoever else is hanging around, not in the water.

>>24075259
Are we keeping psychicness from her or something? How is she rationalizing Summer and Jilly's telepathy?

>>24075275
Well I think the whole waifu thing is an issue to this quest. This Quest should be now named "Waifu Quest" (Featuring Psionic stuff)

>>24075325
At least, were that to happen, things would be happening! Anything to get things moving again!

>>24075259
"Yay swimming! Hey Ellie! Wanna see something cool? Just hold on to Sarvesh."

>>24075259
Let's just relax in the sun and enjoy it before we have to go back to recycled air and strip lighting.

"Annaaaaaa, can you lotion me up?"

>>24075348
It's never going to happen, honestly I wish Exabyte would just do a random roll to determine Heather's waifu/husbando. I don't even care which of the options she ends up with, as it is, we'll still be arguing over it when the quest ends.

>>24075330
>That's an old wives' tale.

You pull out a towel, and spread it out, sitting there to apply some lotion. "Hey, Ellie!" You call. "Wanna see something cool? Just hold onto Sarvesh."
"Okay!" She said, climbing up onto Sarvesh's back.
"What am I supposed to be showing her?" Sarvesh asked, continuing to wade into the water.

"Can someone do my back?" You ask.
"I can." Damien said, and rubbed his hands together, squirting lotion onto them. "If you don't mind, that is."

>>24075450
"Of course not!"

>>24075450
"Thanks Damien."

>>24075450

"no funny business, or you're going flying." with a smile.

>what are we going to show Ellie?

>>24075450
"Sure go ahead! But no pervy thoughts okay!"

>>24075450
"I'd love that."
How tanned is Damien?
"Do you want me to do you too?"

"You can float, it's amazing!"

>>24075398
It's not even waifuing anymore, that's the thing. Exabyte has made a descision: that we're all hormone charged teenagers. But /tg/ won't listen and refuses to play that. Heather won't end up with anyone, but it won't be due to arguments, it will be due to overpowering chastity.

>>24075450
He's a CENTAUR!

>>24075479
>>24075478
How about yes! exactly funny business!

Oh, better, instead of vetoing them, how about we say them, but with clear intent that we're lying.

>>24075450

>Sarvesh's head! The eyes are placeholders, and fit deeper into his head, but the rest is accurate enough.

"I'd love that." You say. "But no funny business, or you're going flying."
"Fair enough," He said, and put his hands on the small of your back.

"You can float!" You call. "He's a centaur! Show her how good a raft you are!"
"Very well." He said, and chuckled, his legs curling up. He started paddling himself forward, and kicking- with his rear legs- himself further into the sea. "As you can see, I make a splendid raft."
"This is awesome!" she said. "Tell me more about your people."

The hands on your back working in the lotion started digging their fingers in, almost more of a back massage than simply putting lotion on you. You let out an involuntary relaxed sigh, and Damien chuckled.

>>24075547
"I didn't know you were as good at massages as you were singing, Damien."

>>24075547
"You're good at this Damien, can I get you to make it a full massage?"

>>24075547
"That's suspiciously like funny business, Damien."
Don't actually move to stop him though.

Sarvesh doesn't look like Abe now, Exa.

>>24075643
The best massage in the world can't help you if it's in the wrong spot, but a mediocre massage in the best possible spot can work wonders. And he knows the best spot.

>>24075663
>I technically have the rest of a centaur completed, but it's all shit and ill-perportioned.

"I didn't know you were as good at massages as you were singing, Damien." You say.
"Two sisters," He said, by way of explanation. "And it helps when I can see the future to know what makes you shiver."
"That's suspiciously like funny business, Damien."
"Then send me flying." He said. "Or even ask me to stop."
The pads of his thumbs dug into the base of your neck, and you shivered.
"It also helps when my father is who he is." He said, as his hands worked their way down your back. "He had a lot of... well, tips."

"Is there anything you don't do well?" You ask.
"Not really." He said. "Well, speak other languages, build things, or write well."

You reach back, and unstring your bikini, lying forward, and he stopped bothering with the lotion. You shivered again, Damien's fingers in your collarbone.

That's DEFINITELY funny business, Damien.

"My mother warned me about your father. I hope you are not trying something he'd do."

>>24075760
>>24075750
Ah I see. Been lurking here a little while, just recently started posting.

>>24075770
That's actually incredibly insulting to Damien. Let's not say it.

>>24075750
This suggestion.

"Ooooh my." You say, eyes half-lidded. "I could fall asleep right now."
"If you fall asleep, then you might burn." He said. "I should probably put on some more lotion, in that case, shouldn't I?"
"I... mmm... think we're going to have to make these a regular thing." You say, as he squeezed out a bit more lotion.

"Your father gave you massage tips, seriously?"
"A few, but for the most part, his tips were more on how to seduce secretaries." He said. "And waitresses. And etcetra. But he's a sleazebag."

"Damien... have you ever been in love?"
"... I've had crushes, and girlfriends, but..." He said. "No, I've never been in love. Have you?"

>>24075822
"No, I think I'm pretty much in the same situation you are in that regard."

>>24075822
Maybe, I'm not sure. What is love?

I have felt some things for people before, but they never got too far along. I was young and stupid.

>>24075822
"No, me neither. I've never, well, really been with anyone."

>>24075822
"Besides PC6, no haven't gotten to know some one that well yet."

>>24075822
"No I didn't find the right one yet."

>>24075822
"I don't... know."

>>24075822
"Um, maybe... no, I don't think so."

>>24075822
There was this one guy who looked almost exactly like Gabe from PC6 who I thought I was in love with, but then it turned out he hated the feeling of grease on his fingers and I had to dump him.

>>24075822
"I don't know. I have all these thoughts any feeling about people, but are any of them love? It's so confusing."

>>24075933
I'd second this, but everyone was idiots and decided they wanted the MC to be entirely unspoiled in every way.

>>24075822
"well I wouldn't go as far as to say love, but I have felt something. That sensation that comes from just one look from "that" person, the euphoria from the slightest touch of theirs. I haven't loved, but I have lusted. Maybe one day I can say I love. Maybe. Also while your at it, my lower back is so tense, please help me. "

>>24075933
Hah, seconding this.

>>24075951
Who would actually say something like this?

>>24075951
please no

"No, me neither. I have all these thoughts and feelings about people, but are any of them love? It's so confusing." You say. "And I've never... well... really been with anyone."
"I see." He said, and didn't miss a beat. "Want to change that?" He asked, hands on your back.

YES WE DO PLEASE TAKE US

>>24076112

>>24076152
Yeah, Anna.

>>24076156
Damien's really grown on me recently. When we first met him I found him kind of dull, but he's proven himself pretty awesome.

>>24076112
Thirding

>>24076112
That's pretty unkind though. Basically what >>24076104 said.

>>24076112
Gonna second that

>>24076156
Just like in Not!Starcraft.

>>24076152
This is just sex we are talking about. Not a waifu. That is still in the air.

>>24076156
It's not a victory if it's just fooling around. A true victory is a serious relationship, which is not what he is proposing.

>>24076104
Aye, let's just... blush, mumble and stay mute

>>24076152
>implying the waifu was will ever stop

>>24076152
>>24076156
You do realise it's not a lock in affair, right? Exa has stated this clearly. He might be the first, but not the only.

>>24076112
this is the best possible answer/response i have ever seen.

>>24075973
Nooooooo

Anna is love.

>>24076173
Exabutt is generally good at making the characters interesting given the time and circumstance to develop them past 3 lines of traits

>>24076206
That's fine by me, I just want the anons in this quest to realise that Heather isn't going to remain pure forever, and make her start acting like a hormonal teenager.

>>24076152
Hah, you wish. Don't be counting Nagala before they devour each other. And even if they do wind up doing it, it doesn't necessarily mean that Heather has settled on one person to husbando. Nobody gets 'locked in' on this quest.

>>24076206
I'm treating it as one. I am so damn tired of the waifuing. I just want it to be over so we can build a space ship and fight aliens.

>>24076006
This with the stipulation that we aren't getting into any sort of relationship because of it.

Nononononono. MAX has to tbe the First. Or Hungry the Adorable. But none of these mugs.

>>24076112
Weren't we meant to keep a lid on our psionics with Ellie around?

>>24076206
Of course, just because Damien will be giving Heather the D doesn't mean she's denied the pleasures of undulating centaur-cock or the infinite cthuloid tongues of the nagala.

You mumble something, cheeks red, and then with TK, you slam him forward. Damien went flying, before splashing into the water.
You

"Wow!" Ellie called. "You're really damn good at jumping, Damien!"
"Yeah." Damien said. "I'm damn good."
You reach out to Einstein, and send Damien a message.

Jilly giggled, and continued working on making her sandcastle with Summer and Anna. Apparently she picked something up...

>>24076233
Hungry would turn out to be Yandere and attempt to eat any of the other psions that get close to us. Anyway, lets not be dicks to Damien. Playful responses only.

>>24076112
My good sir, I approve of your suggestion.

>>24076260
Tie bikini top. Smirk.

>>24076260
Relax, enjoy the sun, sea and the cool wind breeze.

>>24076260
Sunbathe until the sandcastle is finished. Maybe we can do our front evenly, if nobody is paying attention.

>>24076260
Do up top.
Finish sunscreen.
Relax.

>>24076260
So wait, did we send him the message from >>24076112 or not, that post is kind of vague.

>>24076260
Assist in the construction of the superfort. Ensure it is built to proper regional structural codes.

>>24076304
It is a mystery

You re-tie your bikini top, and lotion your front, rolling onto your back, pulling on your sunglasses.

Still slightly red, you finish up your lotion.
<That wasn't actually a no.> You message him, and hit the send button.

Then you close your eyes, and relax...

Until a splash of cold water hit you, and you jumped up.
"Heather!" Ellie called, hanging onto Jilly's shoulders. "Come on in!"

>>24076355
Well I guess there's only one thing to do.

Get in there and splash them right back, this is war!

>>24076408
If that were a concern, we certainly wouldn't have made Damien fly across the beach into the water.

"I'll get you for that!" You say, charging. "Of course you know, this means war."

Then Ellie pulled up a summer-made rebreather. "Now!" She said, and Jilly dove into the water, her tail writhing to shoot her forward. You leap, propelled by telekinesis, your feet sliding across the sand, as you dive into the water.

Peering open your eyes, looking through the murky ocean, you see Jilly and Ellie there, grinning and sitting below water. You gave chase, and the two of them split.

Grab Ellie with TK - catapult her out of the water as high as we can hurl her, catch her and slow her descent as she comes down again.

Nooooooooooooo
That's very rude and scares the shit out of her.
And quit our friendship.

>>24076550
That's far far too obvious a use of TK, let's just chase after her and speed ourselves up somewhat with TK.

>>24076534
I'd agree with that except that we're on pills because of trying new things, and we promised not to do anything we weren't good at until we recovered. I don't want more brain bleeding, thankyou.

>>24076550
Subtle TK effects! She's a gossip!

>>24076550
Let's -not- show her psions exist by doing that.

>>24076582
I agree, but psions existing is public knowledge, Ein found it on the extranet day 1--but Heather and her band of salty seadogs being such shouldn't be.

>>24076477
Swim after her, we're good at swimming, right? We can catch her, if not the Nagala

You twist toward Ellie, swimming through the water, pushing yourself forward with telekinesis, charging toward the girl... and then something snatched your ankle. Ellie made a run for it.
You whirled around, and Jilly stuffed a rebreather on you, her tail tying up your legs.
"I'm supposed to hold you here so that she can get away, according to the plan." She said, her voice coming out as bubbles. It'd be impossible to understand, if you weren't telekinetic.

With more TK, you pushed her away, and bolted, toward Ellie. You caught up with her easily - she was never the best swimmer - until you caught her ankle.

She huffed, and frowned at you.

>>24076550
Even if this weren't silly, consider that Ellie already lied to us to try to look cool infront of our friends. Imagine how she'd feel if we were all like "check out my brain majik lol".

You pull her close... and start tickling her. Ellie started bubbling, struggling away from you- until you felt someone tickling you. Jilly had caught up again, tickling your ribs, tail coiling around your legs to keep you from struggling.

"All according to the plan, young Heather." Jilly said, her voice low.

She gave you a malicious grin, and her nagala teeth parted, tongues spilling out. "All according to the plan.

Then she continued tickling you, holding you fast.
"Soooo what happened with Damien?" She interrogated you, tickling you.
