>>24079749
Let's ask everyone whether they've got anywhere else to go, then we can go get lab rats if this was the last stop.

>>24079749
Museums, art, do something we are in London. port home for lunch and last minute tweaks on our projects.

>>24079749
See if Sam has anything in mind. If not say goodbyes and go get labrats.

>>24079749
Some anons wanted to find a moment to have a private chat with Hera.

Personally I think we should wrap this up, get the mice and head home. We've got work to do on Lin's project and may be able to apply some of the theory behind the mind drill to our mass emotional manipulation spell.

Oh, and if we can manage to get Sam off to the side again without looking suspicious (don't want Liz jumping to conclusions) ask about demonic aura masking.

Also, we should snag any filers / ads / propaganda for use as temp foci for our emotional manipulation field while we're out and about.

Probably aren't many of those back at Scholomance.

>>24079749

I thought we were putting the text books back and just pirate them later

>>24079749
See if anyone else wants to see somewhere. Find a good time to have a private chat with Hera before heading out.

>>24079892
flyer, not filer

>>24079749

Maybe say we'd like to spend some time solo, and look up some sex shops, go with Liz to find out what she's interested in and maybe get some tips.

>>24079867
go to a Museums, or some place in London ask Sam, take him off to the side and ask about demonic aura masking, and tell him about frenchey's plan/project.

>>24079892
Yeah those would be good for making some regarging foci for the spell too.

>>24079925
This, see if anyone else has any ideas for places to visit before we go home.

>>24079923
So did I, but think of it like this. The text book should have come with a digital copy and every page of the physical book should be useable as a temporary focus for living alchemy.

>>24079749
See if anyone else has any ideas for places to go, if not, I guess pick up the labrats and head home.

>>24079950
Ok, I'm not going to bother opposing telling Sam about Pierre's aura sight project this time.

However, I would like to confirm that we are not going to tell him our plan for frenchy.

>>24080017
Seconded. Warn him about Pierre, but don't tell him what we're going to do to him.

>>24080017
Of course not, we're not telling anyone outside the tower that.

Which reminds me, we haven't actually told Liz our plans for frenchie yet, we should do that when we get home.

>>24080017
yea no reason for that at all, we can always say he confused us being terrified of him and his society with, us being the nicest person to him in our class. So he ..thinks we are friends ..fucking mad frenchmen.

>>24079749
Seconding >>24079810. Try to get a chat in with Hera, too.

>>24080072
We're terrified of Pierre? I thought we were mostly scared of the gang of psychopaths he runs with.

>>24080017
>I would like to confirm that we are not going to tell him our plan for frenchy.
This is an argument for another thread, but I still say we only use that as a last resort thing. If we cant naturally convince him to renounce his dicknazi ways, then we de-dick him, but not a moment sooner.

Remember to buy guinea pigs and at least a pair of rabbits.

>>24080118
well the big fucking grin and his talks about holy fire after three students makes him a grade A psychopathy I sure as fuck would be scared of him.

>>24080118
You're mostly right. The only things we have to worry about with him are missing the window of his ignorance to our semi-demonic nature and the fact that we don't really have any dedicated defenses against sorcery (his specialty) yet.

>>24080135
I'm pretty sure we don't have enough money for that many medium sized pets.

>>24080188
Durability counters anything he can do with sorcery, although we need a fuckload more of it for it to be reliable.

>>24080205
Yes. That's why I said dedicated defenses.

>>24080203

Just a friendly reminder. If we don't have enough, then we buy them later.

>>24079749
we were putting both books back.
We warn Sam about Pierre.
then get a moment alone with Hera.
possibly find a sex shop for Liz.
then get rats and go home.

>>24080132
While I disagree with trying to flip him without already having him feel unsafe in his society, we should probably ask dad what dextra does to deserters.

>>24080303
Sure, Selene would love a pet rabbit or two. I assume we're planning to work exclusively with mice (cheap) until we reliably stop killing our test subjects.

You decide to go try to have a chat with Hera. After all, you're still curious, and Sam said that she was the one to ask, if anyone. You head up to her and pull her aside.

"Yes, Max?" she asks.

"So, what did you and Sam talk about anyway?" you ask. "I'm really curious. You seemed so upset last night."

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

>>24080390
Good thing those others were faster this time..

>>24080318
I personally prefer to try and convert him without using Estrotesties but i see how that makes converting him go faster and stronger though it increases the risk of him turning against us.

>>24080340
yes mice are better than rats i change my vote to that plus we plan to farm rabbits later so that helps. The first ones can be pets.

>>24080436
>rabbits
Why would we use anything but mice? The reason lab mice are used is because they are genetically the closest mammal to humanity aside from primates. Reliably altering mice translates into reliably altering humans moreso than a rabbit or guinea pig would.

>>24080462
the mice are for experimentation the rabbits are pets for Selene and we will raise there descendants for meat in our farms. If you disagree i wont fight it i just like that idea.

"That's private," says Hera, sticking up her chin and turning away. "It's resolved now. Let it rest." She strides away, back to the rest of the group.

Fuck. If anything, you're even more curious now.

What do you do now?

>>24080518
We've had those before you know.

>>24080498
Looks like it.

>>24080537
No we aren't. We determine this is private and we're letting it go.

>>24080537
Labrats.

Gather advertisments, flyers, and posters for use in making foci for our emotional manipulation field.

Go home.

>>24080554
Seems like a plan.

>>24080554
>advertisments, flyers, and posters for use in making foci for our emotional manipulation field.

Def doing this before we leave.

>>24080537
I wish we had a chance to tell her we were cool with that. but ok.
we and Liz can look for a sex shop then go to a pet store.

>>24080537
If we broach the subject again, we need to preface it by stating that we need to know where we stand in all this. It may be private, but it kinda involves our privates, making us intrinsically involved in all the mess.

For now, lets just see what the group is up to.
>>24080554
Downvoting this. We can send dad for lab rats later. No need to spend our limited funds on them.

>>24080537

Drop it for now, see if we can get away with Liz to shop for some bedroom toys.

>>24080537
Museums, art, do something we are in London ask Sam then talk about demonic aura masking with him.

>>24080554
If we can get some of those ads that really try to tearjerk you they'd work best. Like the stop animal abuse ones or don't let lovedones drive drunk.

>>24080554
Lab mice.

If we see anyone handing out flyers/whatever on the way to the pet store pocket them. Say our goodbyes, text for extraction. See if our daughter missed us or had the time of her life playing non-stop with Breakfast, Fap and Gaviscon.

>>24080594
Seconding.

>>24080594
>>24080577
These two. Really anything but more boring stat raising shit that can be handled in a timeskip like getting mice.

>>24080577
We just made a money laundering deal with Sam and want to get started on Living alchemy research today. Not sure why we're saving funds.

>>24080537
Also we need to warn Sam about Pierre then look for a sex shop

>>24080594
no time we have work at home.

>>24080577
Sam said the it has nothing to do with our privates and he can still fuck us. We just cant flaunt it in front of Hera.

If dad gets it he will be the one spending our limited funds not us there is no difference and we are out shopping now.

>>24080639
Probably because our funds are still technically limited for the moment.
I personally say we just buy a bunch of mice anyway.

>>24080649
Hera rules out the sex shop. Plus the books practically broke the bank.

>>24080639
>Not sure why we're saving funds.
To buy trinkets from London. Its not that we need to pinch pennies forever, its more like we only have a handful of cash on us now and we are getting a paycheck tomorrow.

>>24080649
we got plenty of time we dont need to sleep for a few days.

>>24080661
Sorry, thought you we using labrats as a synonym for generic test subjects. Absolutely agree we just buying a couple handfuls of mice to get going with.

>>24080676
Oh, I didn't think we had enough left for decent trinkets. If you meant snow globes I might have to disagree on principle.

>>24080704
All we really need to buy is 10 or so mice to start off a breeding population.
I am americlap and don't feel like translating prices, but mice in the pet stores around me are roughly $6-7, so 10 mice wouldn't wipe out our funds

>>24080670
Hera and possibly Sam can leave I want to get home to our daughter soon and also get to work.

>>24080686
Liz also has work to do and i want to see our daughter.

>>24080638
Fem doesn't give us enough time skips for us to just play on screen time If she did i would agree but she doesn't so we need to do the fast boring things on camera and save the slow ones for off.
This quest would be better with more time skip options that way we can do more cool stuff on screen.
We need to do this on camera or we will never do it and we should do it so suck it up.

>>24080751
Ah, I was thinking small pet mice (the $3 or less ones) that, despite pet store restrictions tend to end up as snake food. That way we'll be increasing their survival rate and thus doing an arguably good deed.

>>24080807

Lab mice aren't bought at pet stores, we'd need someone specialised.

A far better use of our time is to head off with Liz and look for some things to spice up the bedroom.

>>24080537
Let's ask what everyone wants to do next. If no-one's got anything to do right now, we can pick up the mice and finish shopping.

>>24080686
It's Sunday. At least Lin's project, upgrading our own and making/gathering foci for Monday's class demonstration need to happen today. Plus Pierre might or might not call for help and it's a weekend so we want some Selene screen time and we need to check frost dryads solid balance level and and and... Seriously, the scholomance is two time zones ahead of us and it's time to head home.

Sounds like you guys want to go to museums or something?

>>24080830
Lab mice are. We're playing with magic, not science so I think wild type will suffice instead of a specialized line. Which we'd have to get through the black market and might take some time to acquire.

>>24080877
no finish shopping and head home.

>>24080877
No, but I suppose we should let Liz poke around after putting up with our book run and exposing her to the long term complications of antagonizing Hera.

>>24080877
at least one long enough to talk with Sam about Pierre/ demonic aura masking

>>24080877
Nah, we'll tour the museums when we can bring Selene along. She'll love it.

>>24080877
yep ask Sam what would be fun to do here I am sure Liz would love a museum

>>24080922
that will take 10 seconds and we can do it here.

>>24080898

We need lab mice because need a standard baseline, too many variables means we won't get enough data.

>>24080877

I vote that we try to get some alone-time with Liz shopping in some London sex shops.

>>24080877
Yes, take Liz to one because she loves that shit. Be a romantic little shit.

>>24080877
yes just one

>>24080940
We can always do that later so Liz can wax nostalgic at all the clandestine blowjobs she gave us in the bathroom of each museum we visit with our dryad daughters.

>>24080944
not if he actually has a way to block it It gives us time to learn it.

>>24080940
Second.

>>24080991
Still think dad could have some valuable insight on this one. Pretty sure we never got around to asking.

>>24080953
>>24080954
>>24080919
>>24080942
We need to get home to have time for our daughter our project Lin's project and Pierre when he inevitably begs for our help.
I don't think we have time for a museum that takes hours a sex shop takes less time and that may be to much.

>>24080991
true but if he dose not it is 10 seconds and in a museum is hardly the place to learn it.

>>24080984
>>24080995
>>24080940
second

>>24081021
we told him Pierre's project but he never mentioned it we should still ask though.

>>24080877
We seem deadlocked can we can have Liz pick?

>>24081039
>seconding my post >>24080984
>but being against every other vote that is for going to museums
Wat

>>24081072
How about letting Lin pick, I want too we what alternative Snapplesque scheme she proposes.

>>24080953
Seconding.

"So, how do you block your demonic aura?" you ask Sam.

"I don't," he says. "Some Dextras may not have noticed me being placed in the special dorms, but those who care did. I would rather focus on actually protecting myself rather than trying to keep, like, Pierre's dumb ass from noticing me."

"So, do you guys want to go to a museum or something while we're here?" you ask.

"Sure," says Hera shrugging.

"No," says Lin. She already looks bored at the idea of it. "History isn't interesting when it's just in retrospect to you."

"That's touristy bullshit," says Sam. "You can if you want, but I'll cut out for that."

"I actually really need to finish a working model of my project," says Liz. "I'm going to head back soon no matter what."

What now?

>>24081096
Think he thought you meant we should do museum trips with Liz later, not today.

>>24081119
Head home.

>>24081120
yes i meant later when Selene and Dad Mom or Lin is along

>>24081119
Grab advertisements / flyers / posters for use as foci and go home.

>>24081119
"Looks like we are home bound, ill see you all in class.

>>24081119
Time to head home and bitch to ourselves about what a miserable failure we are.

>>24081119
head home maybe get mice first.

>>24081119
Thank you.

Get back to the tower and see what Selene is upto, check icedryad's soil chemistry and then sit down with Lin and drub proof her project (or just make it generally safer).

>>24081119
Time to head home with Liz, then.

>>24081147
second

>>24081147
Thirded. Making foci for our project is def needed if we don't want to fail hardstyle

>>24081119
Ask Liz if there is one last thing she really wanted to do before she left and do that. Otherwise, see if Lin or Sam have anything planned.

>>24081201
I think she's starting to stress about her project again anon. It's time to get her home so she can get some work done and stay calm(ish).

>>24081201
when we get home we first hug our little girl, then we ask dad how to Aura hide, then we swap notes with Lin ad get to work, till Pierre eventual calls.

>>24081119

Looks like we're going home then. Split off with Liz and spend a little bit shopping for bedroom toys, then port home.

>>24081267
Liz wants to go right home we can grab fliers and go.

ask Sam about his mother

>>24081267
We definitely don't have enough money for anything interesting right now, so maybe we should wait until our budget is of now concern for that shopping trip. Or just make new toys at home.

Why the blueberry fuck is everyone flipping their shit over some fucking fliers? Just go home already.

>>24081298
That's...kind of a huge red flag in this setting isn't it? I mean, how would we reasonably react if Sam started asking about our mom? Amittedly Sam's isn't defenseless against scholomance students, but still I think his level of concern would be the same reguardless.

>>24081333

We can look, can't we? Also gives us more ideas on what Liz is into, meaning we can improvise and/or alchemy up some toys.

>>24081357
Relax, its just Snapple samefagging.

You grab a couple of advertisement fliers, spend a few more minutes chatting happily with your friends, then send a text to your dad saying that you, Lin, and Liz are all ready to get teleported back home. A couple minutes later - not surprising, since it wasn't urgent - and you find yourself in the inbound circle. Your dad is fucking Breakfast's face - you expect probably feeding from her - as he and Lunch stand at the edge of the circle, having just finished the spell to bring you back.

"How was the trip?" he asks, eying Lin cautiously.

"Eventful," you say seriously. "And a learning experience."

"Amen to that," Lin says, then starts climbing up the ladder, presumably to the sitting room.

"I'm going to go get back to work on my spirit forge," Liz says, giving you a quick kiss, then fondling her collar nervously as she smiles at you. "I'm hoping to be done in time to get a good night's sleep tonight but, well, that all depends on how quickly I finish and test it." Liz then starts heading downstairs.

"What's on your agenda?" your dad asks.

>>24081357
Because they would make good foci for our project. The one that's getting graded tommorrow.

They won't take any effort to get and there probably aren't many back at Scholomance.

>>24081361
I just want to know how closely related we are

>>24081375
Well, we said we'd help Lin out with her project just to have an extra set of eyes on it since we're the enchantment guru of the group.

>>24081375
Making foci for the emotion field.

Tell him about Sam liquidating the gold and about him looking for the dryad fertilizer.

Ask Lunch how the cages are coming and tell dad about the plan for lab animals for living alchemy testing.

>>24081375
Get back to working on our emotional field project. Request the presence of Lunch and Breakfast as test subjects and energy reserves.

>>24081375
"Making a pile of Foci for my project and testing it out some.

Also me and Lin will probably trade notes and look at each other's projects, your input would be appreciated on that."

Also tell him about Sam and the Gold liquidation and how he's keeping his eyes open for Dryad stuff so he'll have more time to devote towards his own projects.

>>24081375
"Doing a little more work on my project, actually. But first, where's my little girl?"

Find and play with Selene.

>>24081375
Quick question for you dad, know any technique to pass demonic aura's off as human?

I'm going to help Lin make her project safe so we don't have another possible hostile enchantment scare, then see if I can improve my own spell with any of the theory behind hers. Sorry it's taking so long to start building the spirit ecosystem, this class project has sucked up way more time than expected.

>>24081375
"I was going to go over lin's mind drill spell I think the it could help with my project, then go over my emotional field spell and make a foci for it, then Idk you have any ideas or need help with something?"

>>24081415
Then ask dad if he knows any family members in Manchester. Easier than trying to hide dad's continued existence from Sam if we get into a genealogy discussion and bring any information to the table.

>>24081460
this then ask

>>24081480

then >>24081453
But first, where's my little girl?"

>>24081119
Huh, I'm starting to like Sam more. Continuing to catch up...

>>24081375
>>>24081425 >>24081445 >>24081453 >>24081454 >>24081460
these and check our second daughter.

"I'm going to go check on my daughters," you say. "I'll figure out what I'm going to do after I do that."

"Good priorities," your dad agrees. "Selene's been really looking forward to you getting back."

You climb your way on down the ladder, eventually ending up in Selene's room after climbing on past Liz at work at the kitchen table. When you get down, your feet have barely hit solid ground when a sprinting little girl collides with and wraps around your legs. "Mama!" she says, holding you what must be incredibly tight for those little arms of hers. "I missed you! I missed you, Mama!"

What do you do?

>>24081375
THE BABY

>>24081674

Hug her. "I missed you too."

"Wanna go check on your sister?"

>>24081674
She isn't doing baby talk anymore!

Pick her up and hold give her a hug.

>>24081674
"I missed you to, were you a good girl for your grandpa?"

"have you had any food for lunch today? want to go help make some for every one?"

>>24081674
I missed you to, sweetheart. Play with Selene for a bit, we missed her even when we were having fun, then go check on icedryad with her.

We should ask her if she wants a pet. That would be a nice gift for her.

>>24081674
Pick her up, hug her, spin her around a few times, cover her in kisses.

"I missed you too sweetie.

What did you do when we were gone? Did you have fun with Grandpa?"

>>24081674
Play with her a bit, then take her down to check on her sister.

>>24081752
we just got her books....


>>24081686
Yea do that great idea.

>>24081744
Liz is working in the kitchen, we probably shouldn't disturb her if it isn't necessary.

>>24081751
>icedryad
it's muscledryad

>>24081752
Um, she's the equivalent of three years old. If you don't want a life lesson about pets dying if you don't feed them/play too rough, you might want to wait a month and a half to two.

>>24081774
good point changing second part to


"Wanna go check on your sister?"

then read some books with her up in the study room. so we can give lin our notes on our spell and she can write hers out in English for us to take a look at.

>>24081799
Its both! Science!

>>24081752
>>24081803
besides she has Fap

>>24081804
Not yet. Play with her first so she feels like her momma's special little girl, then go check on baby sista with her.

>>24081831
Fap doesn't need to eat.

>>24081803
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldEh0cyGVm4

>>24081879
Isn't that his point?

>>24081879
i was implying that Fap was her pet. who need biological, mess inducing pets

"Did you do anything fun while I was gone, little miss?" you ask her.

"Uhuh," she says, giving you a little, toothy smile. "Me 'an Bekfist showed my sister the Lion King and Mulan and Plaza Sesamo," she says proudly. "I don't think she could see it, though, 'cause she's just leaves and stuff still. She doesn't have eyes, an' I didn't teach her to see with Fap yet."

What do you say to her?

>>24082006
Oh god. I pray they brought the tv down there and didn't dig her up.

>>24081949
You know, we're going to be sommoning a bunch of elementals anyway over the next few weeks, maybe we could co opt a few for constructs if anyone has interesting ideas.

>>24082033
Quit being retarded. Dad wouldnt let them do that.

>>24082033
This. Calmly and cheerfully take her to go check on her sister now. Dad was around, I'm sure she's fine...

>>24082006
"Honey, your sister hasn't been born yet. She's sleeping and growing right now, and she won't wake up until she's good and ready."

>>24082035
We could make an insectoid acid dragon made of steely glass. That would be pretty bitchin.

Or maybe a living stuffed animal for our daughter. Its not like she already has one of those or something.

then read some books with her up in the study room. so we can give lin our notes on our spell and she can write hers out in English for us to take a look at.

Ask how they showed her. Tell her you think her sister will probably get eyes when she's done being just leaves.

>>24081935
>>24081949
My bad. I read it as "She has Fap, so she can be trusted with pets".

>>24082035
No point. We'll make one when the dryad hatches. Added benefit: When Liz is done we can build the spirit incubator into the construct. We can also retrofit Gaviscon and Fap like that, so they'll grow stronger over time too.

>>24082006
"You're special, Selene. You can see the world in a way I can't and your sisters won't, either. They'll have eyes to see like momma does, but they won't be able to hear the world the way you can."

>She doesn't have eyes, an' I didn't teach her to see with Fap yet.

HNNNNGH.

Max just HAS to have a moebeetus heart attack at this.

Dad might be awesome, but he can't be everywhere at once.

This might be fem crippling the new dryad so we have something else to deal with, like Selene's lack of eyes.

>>24082089
Good point, a full range of view. We should also disperse additional seeing-eye golems around the outside of our tower. Let Selene function as surveillance, because why not?

"You, uh," you say, a terrified pit in your stomach. "You brought the computer down to her, right? You didn't dig her up?"

Selene gives you a look like she doesn't understand the question. "We brought her the pooter. She's too little to get out of the dirt."

Huh. You never explained that to her - or at least never in terms like that. Maybe dryads have instincts about how to deal with other dryads in the same way humans do with humans? "How will you know when she's ready, sweetie?" you ask her.

"'cause she'll start trying to get out, silly!" says Selene, smiling like you're teasing her with some kind of joke. "Then mama's there and says nice things to help. I can't help. She's little and it doesn't work like that."

Huh.

What now?

>>24082127
Paraplegia would be a kind of odd challenge to suddenly deal with or fetish to add to the mix for our second daughter. I hope not but you never know.

Selene has an instinct for plants being a Dryad plus we haven't seen any dirt strewn about so i bet she is safe and dad would have mentioned it if he knew.

When we get a chance we should ask dad about blocking demonic auras. If he has a method, then we should also contact Sam with the information just in case Pierre gets his spell working

Who? I thought it was Skathi. I liked Skathi, fuck you.

>>24082254
Let's not give her a name that sounds like a phlegmatic, coughing sneeze. Skathi is a terrible name.

>>24082206
Andvera is how i invented the name but ether variation is fine by me

>>24082230
It was never official but it was most voted lat we talked. I am subtly campaigning for it.

>>24082280
>Let's not give her a name that sounds like a phlegmatic, coughing sneeze
Well that rules out all Norse names, then.

Also, fuck you. I vote for Skathi. And now all we have to do is find a third mythological S name for the last dryad.

>>24082230
We never voted or anything, but it's the only one proposed that sounds like a proper name and isn't a rip-off of another quest. It's an effeminate of Andvari, which is a dwarven name.

>>24082254
Skaði isn't such a pretty a name for a girl.

>>24082296
I really like "Sizi" for our dragon phoenix, but I doubt anyone else is gonna go for it.

>>24082302
Its better than giving her a poorly genderbent male name. May as well just name her Timantha.

>>24082231
...you really didn't read what Sam said, did you. He isn't too interested in hiding because he's worried about the competent members of Dd that already have access to the alternative dorms student roster. By now we have been outed to Dextra, but they don't trust Pierre (because he's kind of a fuck up) so he doesn't have access to their files.

Sam does want to hide, he wants to strengthen his defenses for when they come.

And Andvara is based on Andvari the dwarf Oden stole his ring of infinite gold from. Plus i don't want out daughter named after an ancestral foe of one of her mulch donators.

>>24082327
If anything, we should ask dad what DD does to deserters.

Nudging Pierre into the Four Pillars as an ally would be nice.

>>24082321
I think it's kind of a cute name actually. Sounds like it ought to be short for something though.

>>24082289
"Andvera" doesn't sound right, Andvara is more pleasing to the ear.

Ailsa — (AYL-suh) modern Scottish name from Ailsa Craig, a rocky islet in the Clyde estuary off Ayrshire coast. Derived from Old Norse-Viking Alfisigesy "island off Alfsigr"; composed of alf "supernatural being, elf" + sigi "victory". Possible anglicization of Ealasaid. Ailsa Craig is known in Gaelic as Allasa, or Creag Ealasaid. Form of Elsa from Hebrew Elizabeth, "consecrated to God".

>>24082342
>i don't want out daughter named after an ancestral foe of one of her mulch donators.
Then you cant name her Andvara since she is just as much Jotunn as she is dwarf.

Besides, Skathi was a married to a god instead just a chump who got shit stolen from him. Why the fuck would you name our daughter after a chump?

>>24082351
Then we convince him the best way to hide from dextra is our brand of hormone replacement therapy.

Seriously, can we just have a roll off for icedryad's name when she hatches? We might find something with consensus in the mean time but this is probably going to be an ongoing argument until we actually name her.

>>24082321
>lel Im so clever XD
Why dont you name the reference if youre gonna be a shitposting attention whore.

"Good, good girl," you tell her. "I'm glad you're taking good care of your sister."

Selene smiles wide, turning her chin up proudly. "I'm a good big sister!" she declares, almost challengingly.

"You sure are," you tell her, picking her up and spinning her around. "Let's go see your little sister." You carry her on down to the garden level, which actually has the laptop sitting out and facing towards the little dryad shoot in the plot, still playing an episode of Plaza Sesamo. You think that Selene and Breakfast must have been watching it when your dad grabbed Breakfast to refuel and get you back.

You check the soil pH, give it a few spritzes of water, a bit of certain fertilizers, and give Selene a sip while you're at it. "I brought some things back for you and your sisters," you tel Selene. "Want to go see them?"

"Yesss!" Selene says excitedly. You bring her on upstairs to where you dropped off the books. You sit Selene in your lap and Fap comes and alights on your shoulder.

"These are books," you say. "For little girls, like you. Want me to read them to you?" Selene nods at you intently. You start reading to her and she follows along with rapt attention, her focus not faltering once through each and every book.

"How do you read that?" she asks you as you finish, mild awe in her voice.

How do you answer her?

>>24082376
>>24082413
It's short for sizzle. For fuck's sake.

>>24082327

I did, but if we get an easy way of hiding, no sense in not giving it to him. His interest, and ability are two different things.

>>24082436
It's from some fantasy name generator I was dicking around with a long time ago. I just like how it sounds.

>>24082455
We know. Well, most of us did anyway.

>>24082378
...which all has fuckall to do with dwarves, jotunn, or the Norse in general

>>24082387
The Dvergar and Jotun weren't really enemies, though. The Jotun and Aesir (which Skathi married into) were.

>>24082444
Tell her that all those funny symbols on the page mean something and work on teaching her to read.

>>24082460
Right, just don't frame it in the context of Pierre. Sam went out of his way to belittle frenchy, he doesn't consider him a threat.

>>24082477
And what does Selene have to do with vampires or incubi? We can just go for a theme instead of going, 'WELL WE FERTILIZED HER WITH NORSE THINGS SO NORSE NAME.'

>>24082444
You see these squiggly lines? those are letters, put them together in the right order and they make words.

Movies and books are wonderful things, and a big part of the reason for Fap to be around, do you want to learn to read?

>>24082484
I know, I was just turning his own logic against him.

>>24082496
>Selene have to do with vampires or incubi?
Selene is the Moon Goddess, vampires can only come out at night.

And we named her after her flower, which is why I originally said to wait until it hatches to name her like we did for Selene, but here we are.

>>24082444
Pull out a sheet of paper and a writing utensil and write out the English alphabet. "Each one of these letters means a different sound. If you put them together into the right order, you get words. Every language has its own words and letters. Do you want to learn how to read them?"

>>24082444
"see all the symbols I point to there words, made up of letters that repentant sounds, in English it goes A, B, C,... and when we put them together in different orders they make words like S E L E N E, or L O V E, "

the 3rd should be Seraphine or Aine

>>24082444
The little pictures are letters. They all mean sounds. When you put them together you get words.

>>24082463
Oh, and it's also turkish for 'you', according to google.

>>24082509
Yep, accept healed by fire, not burned.

>>24082444
"Do you see all of those little symbols? Those are letters, each one represents a different sound. If you put them together they can form different sounds and those sounds can form words."

>>24082444
Point out the letters to her, explain that each one represents a sound, and since you know what sound each one makes, you put the sounds together in your head and know which words they're for. Man, we've been sloppy on her education, she should at least know letters by now.

>>24082496
Selene is moon-themed and by proxy vampire-themed. But Andvara is also a nice name.

"Do you see each of these little picture things?" you ask her, pointing to each letter. She nods. "These are called letters. Each one means a certain sound. When you put all of those sounds together, they make words."

Selene's little brow furrows for a second as she thinks about it, then she asks, "Show me all the letters please, mama? I wanna read."

Do you take the time right now to try to teach your daughter some simple reading skills?

>>24082584

>>24082653
Lies. The dice love Selene. Though a little booty to appease the Dice Gods wouldn't go amiss.

You decide to sit down with her and teach her the alphabet, complete with odd sounds like 'ch' and 'ph', as well as sounds like 'oi' and 'ae'. You write down all the letters for her, perch Fap on top of her head to let her have a good look, and start walking her through it.

Roll Soul to help her understand and keep patient as she works it out. I'll consider the first four linked 1d100 rolls.

After a mere hour of working with Selene, she has all of the Latin letters down cold, and is already starting to use a little crayon to try to work out the spelling of certain words from their sounds. She's sometimes as uncannily correct as she is sometimes hilariously but understandably wrong. She eventually starts reading the books to herself, working out the words by sounding them out and following along.

That's where I'm going to end it for tonight. I would archive, but I literally cannot keep my eyes open. Could someone please archive this thread? I'll remember to vote it up in the archives. Good night, sluts.

Capitalization isn't hard, man. The first letter of each sentence is capital. Proper nouns (words referring to one specific entity, usually names or words used as names) are capitalized. Always. "I" is capitalized. Always. Nothing else is capitalized. Ever.

let me offer some alternatives. I am ok with I have taken out ll the feminizations of male names because you don't like them.

Bestla [pron.: /ˈbɛstlə/ BEST-lə]- mother of the gods Odin, Vili and Vé granddaughter of the jötunn Bölþorn
Gunnloð ("battle-invitation") - a giantess
Hroðr ("famed") - friendly to the Æsir and the wife of the jötunn Hymir.
Rindr/Rinda/Rind - giantess, a goddess or a human princess from the east [somewhere in present-day Russia] impregnated with Váli by Odin

>>24083274
And Skathi is still better than all of those.

>>24083290
we are good as of now

also first idea incoming.
The Puppeteers-Sorcery & Enchantment: they focus on using the meta magical powers of sorcery to redirect and control the spells of others. To aid this they usually use passive enchantments to read others and figure out what others are going to cast. They are also known to use enchantment to control other casters and their spells by manipulating minds. Generally believed to have started in the Middle Ages in Europe they but some records indicate that they go back to at least Rome. They have a reputation as powers behind the throne in magical conflicts in the magical underground.

>>24083328
you say that only to spite me. Search your feelings you know it to be true.

>>24083366
Different anon than the one you're responding to, I actually still prefer Skathi. Or Maya. I'd be happy with either one.

>>24083366
>you say that only to spite me
Quit being a self-important jackass. I actually legitimately like the name Skathi over those ones. It has a dignified ring to it.

That may be what it sounds like to you, but that's not what it sounds like to anyone else.

>>24083553
In the modern world, dogs sometimes get named after Skathi. Girls don't. I reckon I'm not the only one who doesn't see it as a proper girl's name. In fact I know that, since others have said so.

>>24083493
And Selene sounds like the stage name of a cheap stripper.

Skathi is perfect for a girl who will be tall, broad, and strong as fuck. Its a powerful name that still carries an air of femininity. Maya is too soft and Andvera just sounds ugly and jumbled, like you're trying to say “And Vera” but stumbled over your own words so it all came out as one word.
Oh, and
