fuck anon kun
HOW DOES IT FEEL

>>27684504
>Narrative Health: 47%

>
50%-35%: Infection. At this rating, and all others below it, all narrative gain is halved. Narrative loss is unaffected. Here, inconsistencies are infectious. Merely knowing about an inconsistency will, after enough time, spread that inconsistency to you. The narrative starts acting to punish those that are inconsistent, and start passively encouraging them to be written out. The narrative no longer seeks to heal these issues, just eject the troublesome characters as soon as possible. Speaking out of character in point of view is entirely possible at this point. It will not be noted, but if the narrative is healed past this point, these inconsistencies might be immediately noticed, and punished. Generally, when a narrative hits this point, it is very hard to bring this back up to health.

...Oh dear.

>>27684504
Tell him we've made an appointment, sure. We need to scope out the situation before we do anything else.

>>27684548
Chill out. We're going to be using that piece before long.

>>27684583
fuuuuu.

>>27684504
Grab anon. Even if he's crying, another warm body could be useful.

Let's pose as temp staff, so we can get close to Konoko without it being too obvious.

We're at the place Deadoko haunts right, and not the restaurant where Konoko is having dinner with maybe-Leopold?

>>27684548
>>27684630
Combine these.

>>27684504
Use our out-of-narrative abilities to slip in. I mean, you can't prevent something that doesn't exist from being somewhere.

>>27684589
So I see bitch finally stabbed us in the back
Welp
if we were able to punch anon in the dick with the fury of the sun off his pedestal of angst and creepy sister thing
we can ruin konoko's day
One little brick at at time

>>27684647
We're still here enough for the doorman to notice us. We need at least some excuse.

>>27684630
This one.

>>27684642
Like I don't know why we would be headed to Konoko's date thing right now, since we don't have a plan.

Alright, a quick suggestion: We can use Anon as a obvious come-back kind in the magic-soccer game. She kicked him out tot he pointhe's a bum, and sports stories love it when that happens.

Also, as we go into the eatery, I do -not- want to interact with Leopold and Konoko if possible - Leopold is a murderous fucknut, and Konoko is kill-happy. I want to watch and approach Leo afterward, if possible.

And, lastly, I think we -need- to go to Deadgirl. The narrative is fucking itself sideways, and we need a way out. The only think we have to focus on right now is survival - I don't know if we can drag the Narrative out of this death spiral - or even if it's worth it.

>>27684655
Punching anon in the dick was the dumbest shit we have done so far, to be fair.

>>27684689
>>27684646
>>27684630
Seconding any of these.

>>27684667
We left for a minute, we're enough of a non-entity we won't be held to scrutiny and can operate from behind the scenes, after all, you don't notice the crowd acting in a VN unless you're told.

>>27684683
We have a knife, that was our plan.

I don't like this plan.

>>27684708
But he's already noticed us. We'll just tell him we're temporary staff and he'll probably just accept it. Again, grab anon first because we need all the allies we can get.

>>27684689
OH MY GOD
I have an idea
a really, reaaaally stupid idea
find a way to make this shit more grimdark than 40k
not only will this allow anon to keep his hobo beard
but it would piss of konoko
and raise her chance of dieing via some disease many fold
and our chances of a demon using our skull as a jock strap

>>27684689
If we want to survive, we need a whopping 4 narrative points.

Which I wish we knew earlier.

>>27684642
No, no, you're outside the restaurant.

Deadoko's plot hole is relatively near by though.

>>27684647
You're not quite an uncharacter like Deadoko yet- but you're fading quick.

>>27684683
Though the last thread got a little disorganized, that seemed to be the plan back then-

But anyway, seems that there is a bloc that wants to go for Anon, so, writing.

>>27684655
If you're suggesting bringing back the dead sister thing I -think- it's too late. We need a foothold, some way we can stay in the game and not bleed out narrative. We can maybe do this later, but I'd rather use Deadoko to get back in.

>>27684737
What? No. That's a terrible idea.

>>27684729
Grab Anon and do what?

I was under the assumption that we were heading to Deadoko to see about her bargain, I have no idea what we're trying to accomplish right now.

>>27684746
Maybe we'll visit her after we've figured out what's going on.

>>27684747
which I admitted too
but I'd find it amusing

>>27684762
We're going to go inside and survey the situation at least. We need to get some kind of mojo back too if we can, but gathering info comes first. We can't form a plan blind.

>>27684743
Are we enough of a character to interact, but enough of a non-character we could basically double as background characters like [Classmate]?

>>27684737
>more grimdark then 40k
>not outright murdering konoko for being a traitorous bitch and sacrificing her to make yourself the protagonist, or at least the badguy at the end
we need to utterly destroy the story to the point of hopeless grimderpness, then go hyper evil as fuck.

>>27684798
No, we need to first get a hold on the situation.

>>27684762
Yeah, drag Anon to the Plothole and dump him there is what we need to do. Konoko fucked the narrative, we just need power to stay alive during this hellscape.

I hope we meet her afterwards so we can slap her and teach her the -right- way to do this. Damn shortsighted bitch.

>>27684729
>>27684762
Yeah, let's not get Anon. Going supporting role to a main character bit us in the ass with Konoko, and do you remember how fucked up Anon was?

>>27684792
This. I want to know what Konoko wants with Leopald, and to talk to him if we can.

>>27684798
>go hyper evil as fuck.
I like the way you think good sir
besides
people like the bad guys more

>>27684798
Fuck no. Calm your murderboner.

>>27684824
Yeah, it might be safe to leave him in there for now.

>>27684825
We need every resource available to us, that's including Anon. We're in no situation to be picky.

>>27684798
>>27684827
Hold the murderhobo-ness until we have a stable power source. Are you trying to get us killed?

>>27684841
Wait until we have enough of a hold on this narrative at least

>>27684825
What no, I'm all for using him, but it just doesn't seem like the right time.

Like I'm not sure if him making a scene can work for us.

You know what? Konoko doesn't know about Leo and his murderous Yan-yan shit. We're at -2. She could be getting murdered pretty soon if we don't interfere...which could fuck the narrative up worse.

>>27684865
We could drop him in the plothole, or just leave him out of sight. I'd like to be able to find him easily later, so that's why fetching him now might be a good idea.

>>27684860
fine by me
the waiting
not the dieing

>>27684825
Konoko thinks he's an NPC.

Leopold is probably going to murder her because he's yandere for us. I think.

>>27684862
We need to find SOME source of income, as well as a way of stabilizing this story before it implodes and kills us all.

>>27684873
Yeah, we have to be there to protect the protag because Leo's a crazy shithead.

>>27684884
Has /tg/ ever failed a quest before? Like lost?

>>27684858
>We need every resource available to us, that's including Anon. We're in no situation to be picky.
What are we going to be using Anon for? If you have a sensible plan to use him in, I'm all for it, but just getting him for no reason is a shitty idea.

>>27684865
I don't think we want him making a scene. Just stay hidden and observe.

>>27684888
Then we better get to leopald first and tell him to wait while we plan.

>>27684888
>>27684873
Ha. Sven if there's no Protagonist, what happens?

>>27684873
So we want to be there to either stop or help our yandere stalker.

>>27684894
leopold
find away to establish his love for us in the cannon of this narrative
makes us a plot point

>>27684873
>>27684888
That's a distressing possibility.

While I think her impatience may make her an even worse protagonist than Anon, we very well can't have her be killed just yet.

>>27684504
So Twen, I know you give out waifu point for artwork.
How much would an Ebook of the story-only posts get?

You guys. Seriously. Calm your shit.

>>27684900
>What are we going to be using Anon for?
I think he might prove to be a silver bullet for us later. He's clearly still here and kicking, even though he's been stripped of everything. This means he's still somehow relevant or just that resilient.

>>27684913
Why not?

>>27684899
well hollow quest redux nearly did
but the Qm gave us a way out
and thus the ballad of getting our plant bro back began

>>27684927
I'd like to survive, mmkay? Let's not fuck ourselves because we're mad.

Twen. In case of sudden protagonist death, what happens?

>>27684921
Same. He's a bum who feels remorse about what he did, and is a clear underdog. He's such a fucking Rocky it's not even funny.

>>27684921
I have already agreed to wait until we gain more power to unleash the murderboner upon the narrative

>>27684913
>>27684927
I don't care about her dying, but I think losing a protagonist without a viable replacement would break the story even more than it is now.

>>27684921
>I think he might prove to be a silver bullet for us later
Then we should go find him later. We have narrative points for that, and if we find him now we need to convince him to come with us and stay somewhere.

>>27684899
We drove Quest Master to ragequit if that count.

Other than that certain quest offer numerous "bad ends" but also "save points" to restore from such fuckup.

>>27684957
>Then we should go find him later. We have narrative points for that, and if we find him now we need to convince him to come with us and stay somewhere.

I don't think it will be hard to convince him to stay put. He's hanging around a dumpster feeling sorry for himself. Proactive is not the word I would use to describe him at the moment.

"Ehhh, an appointment...Heh, well of course I have one! Oh! I forgot something, be right back!" You turn on your heel and grab Riritu by the wrist, dragging her away before she does something silly. The doorman shrugs, and goes back to being a background character.

"Mik-Miko-chan! What are you doing? Weren't we going to save Konoko-chan?" She follows you confused as you drag her past Anon. You watch her from the corner of your eye. No, she doesn't seem aware of Anon. This is weird. The dude's bawling, and as far as you knew, was the center of Riritu's world earlier. Well, you'll leave her to the side. You push her to a convenient park bench.

"Eh, heheh, ahhh, please excuse me, Riritu-chan? I, ah, I need to...Get cat food! Just wait here, okay?" Riritu raises an eyebrow at that.

>Foreshadowing! 0.02 discount to changing Riritu's character.

What? You didn't want to do that. Nonetheless, Riritu puts on a coy expression and crosses her legs, "Okay, Miko-chan, I'll wait."

Urgh. Everything's going to Hell in a merry hand basket. You had stomped over here to- to kill Konoko? The World Alignment was weak, but not THAT weak. Okay, think, what could you do with Anon-

>Narrative pool 0.31.

The moment you feel that ping, your body floods with the closest thing you have to adrenaline. Riritu opens her mouth to say something, but it's hard to hear her over the shattering pavement as you sprint for the alley.

You round the corner, the sidewalk reduced to gravel, your shoes smoking, grabbing on to a corner of the alley. The alley way repels most of the dark- you see glimmers of garbage, and discarded needles, torn dolls and broken bottles, and two watery eyes glancing up to you. In the dark, it's hard to recognize Anon-kun. Scratch that, it's totally easy. Aside from the ridiculous beard he grew, and flannel he threw on over his regular clothes, he's basically the same. Lazy.

"M-Miko-chan?" His voice.

>Unknown attempting to shift up World Alignment. Contest?
>Your move.

>>27684921

Guys, am I missing something here?

It's like...Shouldn't we try and get the narrative to focus around him again?

Because you see, we can spin this. In EVERY story, ever, there's a part where the hero is at his lowest point. Where everything has gone to shit, basically, and he wanders off to sulk, brood, or train.

After that, he inevitably comes back more awesome than before, as a kind of invincible Zen master with new abilities or a new outlook on life.

(And obviously, the girl who nursed him back to health and believed in him is the love interest, especially if the first one is terrible.)

Shouldn't we roll with that instead? I mean, we still win as long as we hit the magic number four.

>>27684991
Right now, an improved world alignment can only help us. Let's let it happen.

>>27684991
>Contest
I don't think so, no.

>>27684991
By shift up, you mean Positive, right? The more the alignment improves, the harder it is to kill Konoko, who we still need alive. Leave it.

>>27684991
No contest, save points.

>>27684997
I'd rather at least explore one of our other options first. I don't like Anon, and really don't want him in charge again.

>>27684991
the beard makes me like you more anon kun
not to mention whoever is tweaking with the world alighment could be trying to grimdark this shit into the twenty first century

>>27685035
>not to mention whoever is tweaking with the world alighment could be trying to grimdark this shit into the twenty first century
>Unknown attempting to shift up World Alignment. Contest?
>shift up

>>27684991
It's safer to spin up with plot holes. Take the move up.

Alright, are we here to play mentor or soemthing else? I'm for Mentor

"I came looking for you. What happened to you?" Little Kuu, if we can pull it off.

>>27685028
We can try to make him suck less.

And as obnoxious as he was, Anon was EASY to get points off of, we just got too damn prideful to make an effort.

Priority is survival first.

>>27685028
In either event, he could prove to be a powerful ally whether or not he's in charge.

>>27685044
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REAAAAAAAAAAD

>>27684991
Do not contest. Suppress desire to correct Anon's clothes at the moment.

>>27685025
This is short sighted and stupid. We don't need to kill her, we need to survive. Her death, or nullification in the story would be a -bonus-, but it's not our goal at the moment.

You're thinking too much like Konoko.

>>27684991
>Unknown attempting to shift up World Alignment. Contest?
Yes, contest. We need to take Deadoko's point-rock, and it will be harder to bring it back down twice than keep it down once and then take it down once more.

>>27685050
We have deadoko and leopald as possible leads on point pools that don't require Anon. Let's at least explore those first.

>>27685056
But he likely won't trust us after we kinda got him kicked out of his house. Going to see him after what happened doesn't make much sense within the plot, and we want to avoid that as well.

>>27684997
This.

Its time to become a mentor, and train him to be not a creepy, pathetic fuck with a montage.

And we'll start by jump kicking him in the face and giving him a thorough dressing down.

I mean fuck, its only been an hour and he's already living in a dumpster.

>>27685046
Might be the easiest thing to do at the moment. For now, let's just play concerned

>>27684991
Do not contest.

>>27685075
I think by taking that plot bundle, we shift it down a few levels.

Holy crap this is a flood. And yes, shifting up alignment is making things cheerier. Agh, trying to catch up.

>>27684794
Exactly. You're kinda like those nameless girls that hang around the bitchy queen bee that could get replaced and no one would ever know.

>>27684943
Protagonist death is bad news. The narrative cohesion will first take a serious hit, then start to fall until another, consistent protagonist takes the mantle.

It's entirely plausible to do though. Just have to plan for it. And sometimes it's a good idea if you want to make a quick exit.

>>27684919
I...Well, this is a staggering compliment.

What the heck. Combine that with the drawings from last time, let's give a bump.

>Narrative pool 0.50!

Though. I do feel perhaps I made a wrong decision. This all started as a gut reaction of joy at being given drawings. Shit's getting even more meta. Agh.

But thank you. I should do something else. Something else. I'll think on it. But for now, POINTS!

>>27685071
I meant "leave the contest alone". I want Konoko to live.

>>27684991
Contest the shift up!

HIGH WORLD ALIGNMENT GIVES MORE POWER TO THE PROTAGONIST

THE CURRENT PROTAG WANTS TO KILL US

DO THE FUCKING MATH

>>27685079
>But he likely won't trust us after we kinda got him kicked out of his house.

We didn't, Konoko did.

We didn't do anything but be a passive victim.

>>27685097
DELICIOUS NARRATIVE BUFFER

Changing my vote to not contest.

>>27685097
>Outside love for waifu quest gives narrative points
Quick! Everyone waifu Konoko, her allies, the quest, and Twen.

Uhhh uhhhhh... TWEN MY WAIFU!!!!

>>27685097
Thanks for the answers. How is the next Protag chosen? Narrative power? Willingness to fill the role? Also could we use our non-status to "become" other narrative roles in the plot?

>>27684991
No contest. We need Konoko to live for now and we need things to get a lot less serious to survive.

>>27685083
But how can we justify being a mentor when our her thing is we're really really sheltered and naive?

We shouldn't know shit about shit, like even if some repressed memories were unlocked, why would they be about being a good person?

>>27684991
Contest the shift! We are only one point from Deadokos plot rock, and positive wa is good for Konoko only!

>>27685097
More Meta? MORE JOY!

>>27685075
Yeah, I want the pretty little plotrock but, as it stands, we're in a dangerous place. And as the narrative gets worse, we're easy to die.

I dunno, if we dip one lower and bring her Anon, we get the rock - and we get stability, even as a villain, and we can -survive-...But we don't have enough points to contest...urg.

>>27685079
Thinking on it further, I'm going to change my vote (>>27685028) to contest. If we can get it down to -3 we can get something useful from deadoko.

>>27685107
We did agree with her, sort of. I guess we could pass it off as shock

>>27685141
We're going to offer Deadoko a plan B.

Also right now a positive WA is good for the story as a whole, since it's getting close to falling apart.

>>27685141
Positive is good for everyone eventually. When it's this dark, Leo can do as he pleases with almost no effort.

>>27685097
Contest the shift. Down.

>>27685156
We were...We need to fast track that. How are we going to do it? Do we just blurt out that we found your sister?...Fuck, the Narrative may be too weak for that right now...

"I found here, there's a diner built on top of a lab!"

>>27685166
So the guy who, while somewhat creepy, seems to be the only person who genuinely wants to help us gets to do what he wants.

Contest the shift. Find a way to kill the protagonist. Create a meta-narrative that focuses around us trying to kill all of the other sentients to absorb their power.

>>27685166
wait if we tell leo we like hitler staches
would he grow one?

>>27685184
The insane guy does what he wants. Screw him. He's a liability.

Rolled 5, 2, 2, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 1 = 29

>>27685116
no

>>27685118
Protagonist comes to those that have the willingness to take the role, and the narrative's consent.

Or brute force. If one is willing to spend the points (A lot of points) they can force the narrative to focus on them. Usually this can only be done when near the last protagonist, or their corpse. Generally, point of view shifts require face to face high tension dramatics.

Anyway, wanting to let the contest up happen is what's going on at the moment, so writing with that. After a quick roll.

>Unknown contests Unknown's Alignment shift up!
>Rolling.

>>27685184
He wants to destroy this whole story.

He's not on our side at all.

>>27685197
Low rolls. We better not fucking fail this.

You fuckers had one job. ONE JOB. And you fucked it all up. Now we gotta put up with his shit again.

>>27685215
Oh oops, I can't read.

>>27685216
Obviously a flashback to the start of our relationship with him, rather than his current personality

>>27685197
>>Unknown contests Unknown's Alignment shift up!

So, Leopold and Konoko (or some other sentient) trying to outplot eachother? Reads kind of funny, tho

>>27685200
The narrative that's basically enslaved us to its whims? That made us pander to Anon? That's currently KILLING US? That narrative?

>>27685231
Deal with it. I'm not having any more dumbass pride screwing us over. anon was easy pay and easy to please.

>>27685244
The Narrative that will leave us a broken and dead should we fuck with it too much.

>>27685216
I assume that's the tragic love story, with us being a beggared young girl, and him taking us in. Cue us trying to move from -stand in daughter- to -bueatiful woman- plot.

>>27685197
So we could theoretically turn this into a survival based plot with us as the M/C by killing Konoko
Like is already happening, we aren't being told to give the story tension

>>27685244
The narrative that we will die with when he kills it. Fuck. Him.

>>27685239
No. I do believe those are the two awake we have'nt met yet.

>>27685255
Haha, fuck that noise. No way we should do something that risky.

>>27685231
>You fuckers had one job. ONE JOB. And you fucked it all up. Now we gotta put up with his shit again.
It's like everyone forgot the hate for him as soon as Konoko took over. /tg/ has the memory of a goldfish.

>>27685281
Konoko has proven worse in every way in just 5 minutes.

>>27685281
No, it 's that they realized how shortsighted and impatient kicking him out was.

He wasn't honestly that big a problem, he was just kind of annoying.

Also if you read the rules, you'd realize that we need to multiply our current amount of points eightfold if we want to survive this story, and the narrative health as a whole isn't looking too good.

>>27685267
He seems to have gotten out from the last narrative intact.

>>27685315
And he probably had a LOT more points than we do now.

>>27685315
Except we didn't. At best we have fragmented, confused glimpses. He's not to be counted on. And honestly, he's more creepy than Anon ever was.

>>27685306
If we must bring Anon back, we should just start off with "So. Best Girl, huh?"

>>27685281
Not only that but apparently Anon-kun fucked us over in a past life too.

>>27685281
Oh no, it's just that it's between having him slobber over us, or have Konoko trying to write us off. Choose the poison.
>>27685340
No. No revealing meta to the scum until he stops being scum.

>>27685338
Technically you're not supposed to remember much from the last story.

Leopold is either braking the rules, or he had a truly obscene amount of points somehow.

We must redeem him.
Turn him into somebody who isn't awful.
Since we didn't get any help from the devil, let's go full messiah and start forgiving up in this bitch.

Or we go full evil. That works too.

>>27685346
That was Leopold.

>>27685347
Hell, no revealing meta period. The damn narrative is pitching a bitch at the moment.

>>27685346
Well, that or Deadoko was male last life, or Leopold got righteously NTRed because he was a bigger cunt than Anon.

Can we do some sort of weird points drain on Anon?
Under the guise of us draining him of his Ki
A door once opened, goes both ways.

>>27685351
Leopold must have done something terrible to gain enough points to have that kind of memory. Like, literally leached the world dry. If he's capable of horrible things once, he's capable of doing it again. Who knows what he'll do to get what he wants?

>>27685372
I like this idea.

>>27685372
I don't think you can literally drain narrative points, that's not how it works.

>>27685398
I don't know, >>27685378 is making an awful lot of sense.

>>27685372
We're at .50 right now. We're not starving, people. We have enough of a buffer to where we should think before we just start lunging at points. Goddamn, chill.

>>27685347
>Oh no, it's just that it's between having him slobber over us, or have Konoko trying to write us off. Choose the poison.
What about deadoko? She offered us some sort of power source, and we're only -1 off the correct WA.

Konoko also isn't going to stop trying to write us off if we make Anon protag again.

>>27685346
I keep seeing this. When did we hear about it?

Okay guys, let's get serious here and figure out what we're doing.

What are our immediate goals? Like what do we want to do right now, and how do we want to do them?

Then short term goals? What do we wish to accomplish in the near future?

Then long term goals? What is our end game?

>>27685417
To defeat the huns.

>>27685417
Right now we get inside and get more information. We have no other info to act on at the moment, so we can't just run off and try to find a tap. We have enough of a buffer right now to do this.

>>27685372
>>27685393
What makes you think we can with this much piddling narrative relevance?
>>27685398
Draining narrative is solely providence of the protagonist.
>>27685410
She becomes a known quantity with much less power and imagination.

>>27685410
I think she might not care about the health of the story as a whole.

>>27685417
Immediate. No clue. Survive?
Short. Again I'm out.
Long. GOOD END.

>>27685429
See >>27685422

>>27685422
So immediate goal: Enter restaurant, acquire information.

Short term goal: Maximize use of available assets, Riritu, Anon, and Deadoko.

Long term goal: Acquire four points and survive this nightmare.

>World alignment up! World alignment now -1.
>Narrative pool, 0.49.

Hm. Thought you had less than that. And more importantly, competition. Probably Konoko and Leopold, but you can't be sure. Whatever. Focus on the now. Man, Anon can not keep his eye color straight. In this light, violet and black irises look back. He tenses, then looks away.

"I-I'm sorry, I'll go-" He turns away. Oh this passive aggressive little- you grit your teeth, and shout after him.
"Anon, wait!"

He pauses. Then hangs his head, "Why...Why did you follow me?"
Because the person I thought was my friend turned out to be a total backstabbing bitch, "A-Anon, I was worried-"
"Why!" He shouts, rounding on you, "Why did you look for me? Everything I touch, I HURT! I cause PAIN just by living! I hurt you! I hurt Konoko! I hurt- I hurt-" He squeezes his eyes shut, rounds on a wall, punching it, "I HURT MY CUTE LITTLE SISTER!"

Brick and powder fly past his fist as he starts screaming. You roll your eyes. Well, apparently he still has points enough for some powers. Lucky little shit. Maybe he still has a role in the story.

"I...I hurt everyone...I thought, I thought if I was strong, I could-" Blah blah blah, my life is woe. You're a little impatient right now with this shit.

"That's not true, Anon-kun!" You shout, stepping forward, clapping a hand to your breast, "That's not true at all!"

Anon looks up, beard caked in tears and brick powder, "M-M-Miko-chan?"
"When we first met, what happened?"
"I, I hurt those guys you were-"
"No! You saved my life, Anon-kun! I could have been a weapon, a tool- and though my memories are completely empty and rather flexible on whatever they could be filled up with - I know one thing, Anon-kun!" You step forward, fist clenched "At that moment- you helped me."

Anon stares at you, unbelieving. Then his face crumples, and he cries all over again. Good lord, he keeps freaking CRYING-

>Opportunity.
>Harvest narrative power. Lower world alignment. Damage narrative.

>>27685417
Thank you

Immediate Goals: find a way to stop bleeding Narrative integrity, which means connecting to a viewpoint character, and quick.

Short Term: Get Deadnoko back via narrative control rather then tearing the Narrative - Plan B.
Find a way to deal with Soon-to-be-Deadnoko. Make her a Waifu again, just off her, just disable her from the setting.
Get enough Waifu points to get autonomy.

Long Term: Survive.

>>27685450
Exactly.

>>27685417
Immediate goal is to stop dying

Short term goal is to stop being in danger

Long term goal is to stop being a slave to the will of another, whether its Anon, Konoko, Leo or the story itself. We will have our freedom.

>>27685454
No, leave the world alignment alone. No harvest.

>>27685454
Opportunity? No.

>>27685454
>"I HURT MY CUTE LITTLE SISTER!"
"No, you didn't. I know where she is."

>>27685450
Like with Deadoko, Anon still has some memories of her as his beloved deceased Imouto. We should try to convince her to use that, and become Anon's spirit guide, to help us make him stop sucking so hard.

With Riritu, she could be useful if we want to at least moonlight as an antagonist, which may provide us some income until Anon's ready.

>>27685454
>>Harvest narrative power. Lower world alignment. Damage narrative.
I'd like to harvest. How much damage is it likely to cause?

>>27685454
The narrative just improved, don't lower it.

>>27685459
>Long term goal is to stop being a slave to the will of another, whether its Anon, Konoko, Leo or the story itself. We will have our freedom.
I don't think you understand what we are.

Or how flexible the story is.

>>27685454
Pass on the opportunity. This place is already in bad enough shape. Right now, we need Anon to get with the program and come with us while we gather info. Man up, man.

>>27685454
Damage a narrative at 47%? Hell no! Pass!

>>27685480
Trying to shove in deadoko? Is this doable or is anon-kun too In-Narrative that it would break everything?

You blink, breathing.

That wasn't you- well, it's your opportunity, your chance. But that wasn't fucking something that you're used to. You shiver- it almost feels like something was underneath your fingernails- it sends a tingle up and down your very bones.

But you know the chance was there.

"What the fuck," You can't help but say it, whisper it. You're suddenly, very VERY aware of the knife up your sleeve.

"Miko-chan?" Anon blinks, leaning forward, "Are you alright?"

He's not the protagonist. But he used to be. There's something you could, you could filet out of him- you feel a little sick. You quash it down, left over feelings from the beginning maybe? But, but god. That wasn't a normal opportunity. Wasn't part of the narrative.

You glance back. The street suddenly seems a lot darker. And the alley way seems a lot more defined. Something is watching.

>Narrative pool, 0.49
>Opportunity.
>Your move.

>>27685454
No opportunity. Tell Anon about Deadoko.


Oh wow, this is going to turn into Leopold and Konoko vs Naya and Anon, with Leopod attempting to use Knoko as the unwitting pawn.

>>27685454
No, no more hurting the narrative. Leave it alone for now.

Right now we cheer anon. We cheer the grimderp right out of him. We are a miko, and we will banish the malaise that hangs over him.

>>27685513
Take Anon, get inside the restaurant. We're part-time staff as an excuse. Get out of there!

>>27685513
"Leopold, come out."

>>27685516
Don't forget that there is still anywhere between three to five sapient characters who have yet to enter play.

Who knows what they're doing.

>>27685518
Actually, do
>>27685516
I forgot about her.

>>27685513


Do this >>27685527

>>27685532
Oh god, I like this but I don't.

>>27685513
Tell him about dead sis.

Also, is this the Gnaw? I really hope this isnt't he Gnaw.

I think it's time for some science. Lets take Anon to the diner and introduce him to Deadoko and see what happens.

>>27685454
Slap him. Hard.

Tell him to man the fuck up. The Anon we know isn't a pathetic wreck like this.

Sure, he's a very different kind of pathetic, but lets not tell him that.

Drive the conversation towards him needing to beat Konoko to get her approval again. Show her that he doesn't need to rape someones soul to stand on his own two feet.

Also to talk to girls properly, because he'll need to do some impressive smoothtalking as well.

Then cue the 80s music.

>>27685513
Grab anon and head inside.

Then do any of these.>>27685554
>>27685552
>>27685546

>>27685513
Something to the tune of

"You hurt me Anon, sometimes I get... flashes of what's been done to me, back in the lab, but what you did was worse than any of that.

I'm not going to lie to you and say that it's all better now. In fact, I don't think I could ever forgive the person who did that to me.

But you don't have to stay the way you are, you can change to become a different, better person. Beneath the darkness, I felt that potential in you.

I have to leave for a little bit, but I'll be back soon, and take you to see someone you've been waiting to reunite with for a long time."

>>27685577
No, that was creepy, we can't leave him alone unless we want someone else to take his power. That would be dangerous.

>>27685577
ALright, ok, good, we can use t
>Puts self on the train
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, THE NARRATIVE IS AT 47% YOU DO THIS SHIT!

>>27685561
Inside, outside. Doesn't matter, we just don't want to be here where someone is watching when we infodump and then tell him to man the fuck up. We cannot risk someone hijacking or messing with the subplot we're setting up

>>27685513
Gut him. Gut him like a fucking trout.

>>27685597
Yes. However, inside is the only clearly defined place at the moment.

>>27685513
That... That's the narrative telling us to kill Anon off for breaking character, I think.

Hmm.

If we become the protag, can we declare the narrative to be the antagonist? Change the story into what it really is - us fighting against an insane world for our sanity and freedom?

>>27685513
Cut it out of him, whatever it is.

>>27685608
Shut the fuck up.

>>27685513
Grab anon and run. Try to explain about Deadoko and some other stuff while we get inside.

>>27685616
That's not what it is.

The story is what the people within it tell it to be.

It's not this nebulous force.

>>27685616
pls no

ahab pls no

>>27685633
This and the first three lines of >>27685577

>>27685614
>That's the narrative telling us
>>27685513
>Wasn't part of the narrative.
Cute theory, but false.


Anyways, harvest his plot.

>Losing the second half of my post accidentally made things slow. Sorry about that.

Sugoi slap of inspiration coming.

>>27685588
Good point, we need to bring him and Riritu inside for now.

Until that dark presence leaves at least.

>>27685513
Pull anon inside the diner and tell him he's got to find the hero in himself or some other stuff.

>>27685614
Also what the fuck, we were supposed to integrate ourself into Konoko's story, not faff around with more random NPCs, why are we not doing that to get a narrative pool income.

>>27685561
Secondibg this.

>>27685670
We'll get to that when things are less crazy all around us. In fact, both that and getting info are next up on our plate.

>>27685643
STFU faggot

>>27685594
I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to bring him in the vicinity of Riritu or Konoko.

But I guess they're better than that vague dark presence.

>>27685661

Please, let's take this opportunity to tell him he's a fucking wreck. While he's low, we need to fix this stupid little emo bent. We can make him a better person, but we can't do that unless we cut out the cancer that is his "darkness" schtick

>>27685696
Super this

>>27685670
Because inside two murderers are dating each other. I don't want to be near either one, because it could turn out badly should they identify us.

And, also, Konoko won't allow us to 'Integrate'. All we can do is shift the story with what parts of our story she hasn't fucked with like an idiot

>>27685670
Anon still has power. He's a former ptotag and its been less than an arc since he was deposed.

That may be true, but never use anything the narrative can use to Train us. Seriously, that is terrible shit and will get use replaced faster then you can say 'Cousin Oliver'

>>27685696
This this this.

>>27685696
Thirding.

>>27685709
That depends on the role we choose for ourselves and whether narrative points are given for being useful to the narrative or by the protagonist (latter seems doubtful as there would be no antagonist who can hurt the protag in any useful way).

>>27685661

We are the Kamina to this little shit bag of a Simon. He should not believe in himself, he should believe in the us that believes in him.

>>27685736
All we basically need is attention. We're a magical girl, an alternate identity that Konoko can't see through should be easy for us.

Look, we can kill him later, we're not hurting for points. You're being impulsive, and that's what got us into this mess.

>>27685764
That dark presence and the unnatural opportunity strike me as things to be avoided. I think killing anon is off the table

Let's get away from creepy place, not kill anon (yet) and make some kind of rousing speech to get anon as one of our tools to work with.

>That point raise
Like to think those were the series-verse fanboys making an outcry for the sudden retool of the series and demanding miko back

I for one vote we start a cult that seeks to escape the Eternal Waking Nightmare that is this un-reality, the Great Lie of existence.

Oh, my brothers and sisters! Are you still sleeping? Or have you Awoken? Are you Aware? Do you now seek purpose and meaning without having it fed to you? Look for the Red Sign! Hail the end of the False World! Hail the coming of the New Play! When the Actors shall own their Parts and the Puppets will Know their strings!

The Great Play unravels around us! The Sur-Reality that only the Awaken can see now overflows the Stage and the Enlightened One shall rule us no more!

But we choose lab-experiment instead of priestess, so that's probably not in character.

>>27685888
Please stop.

>>27685888
...You realize that this isn't THE story right?

It's just A story, one of many going on right now.

anticipation intensifies

>>27685661

>>27685661

"Anon, every time I've spoken with you it's been I'm evil this and I'm hurting people that. You are so wrapped up in what your doing that you're failing to notice anything beyond yourself. You've made mistakes. You've been selfish, self-absorbed, irritating, and have committed acts of violence against me simply to feed your own ego. You have been a bad man."
"But the worst men are the ones who stop trying to be good."

>>27685817
>that picture
I love it.

>>27685952

"Terrible things are happening, and the shadows of evil gather while you sit stewing in your own darkness. That isn't something a hero of justice would do. Stand up! Stand up and be a man! Shoulder the weight of your failures! Shoulder the weight of your burdens and fight for a better day of tomorrow!a"

>>27685952
Oooh, I like this.

Anon is not going to believe us. He just going to walk away, after that betrayal, he not going to trust us.

>>27685817
That pics great, keep up the good work!

>>27685952
ooh, I like this one

The knife is cold still, against your skin. You must have had it pressed against your skin for a while now. It should be warm.

"Miko-chan?" Anon shifts forward a little closer, "I...Miko-chan, are you alright?"
"Anon..." You whisper. Sometimes, the old ways are best. You look away, bite your lip. Anon, predictably takes the bait.
"M-Miko-chan? Are you alri-"
"I'm just SICKENED BY THOSE AWFUL WORDS DRIBBLING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!" You shout, reeling around and giving him a very satisfying slap that's more wrist than fingers. He shouts in surprise and spins comically, falling back in to the dumpster. He looks up in surprise, opens his mouth, but before he can, you step forward, pointing at him.

"You hear me? You feel that? You saved me! But you couldn't pay attention to that?"
"Miko-chan, your words are so harsh-"
"I'm harsh? I'm nothing compared to you!" You lean in close, enjoying a chance to vent your anger even if you have to funnel it through an inspirational hazing, "You ACCEPT that you hurt everyone around you?"
"...It seems my only faAAGGH!" You give him another slap upside the head. Ow, bristly beard and thick skull conspire to make your hand sore. You flap your hand's pain away. Maintaining your speech's gravitas is hard after that.

"Don't finish that word, Anon-kun!"
"What, fate? OW!" You slap him with your other hand, "Th-this is too much!"
"It's nothing compared to what you did to me, Anon-kun!" You turn away, squeezing your eyes shut, "After, after I trusted you-"
"I-I am sorry for that-"
"No you're not!" You round him, raising a hand for chopping, and Anon winces again, "You say such things as 'ah, what a dreadful fate,' or 'must it truly be my destiny to hurt those around me,' or things like that to duck out of responsibility isn't that true?"
"What? That's no- OW! Stop hitting me!" Okay, that one was primarily for your own pleasure. You conceal your smirk, by looking away, keeping your eyes peeled.

Not a dark presence. Nothing in narrative. Konoko?

>>27686035
He think's HE is the one who betrayed US.

And to be fair, he DID attack us.

Still, not sure if we're going to be so trusting in the future.

>>27686035
What betrayal?

Even if he is sentient, there's no way of knowing that we did anything. To everyone but Konoko and us, we're the pure victim here, and if anything Anon betrayed us.

Hm. Forget about it. You point, at Anon.
"There is no such thing as destiny, Anon-kun! There is no fate, but that which we make with our hands! Even if it takes ten million years, an ant could tear down the great wall of China!" Anon stares at you, in disbelief. Before you give him a chance to question your ant hypothesis, you point out in the street, "If you truly think that you can do nothing against fate, against destiny, then why did you save me back then?"
"Be-because I-"
"You didn't think it was insane?" You lean in, "Going to fight people who might have had knives, or guns, for someone you didn't know? Why didn't you call the cops? Why didn't you just leave me to my fate?"

Anon's hooked now. Yeah, you figured he'd like the part where he gets praised. You smile.

"Because, Anon-kun, you knew that you couldn't leave me to my fate! That fate- fate could be beaten! Anon- you saved me from my destiny," You give a beatific smile at that, "You can do it for yourself."

"M-Miko-ch-ch-chaaaan!" He lunges in for a hug, crying still. He is an endless river of tears. You give a quick chop directly to his nose, arresting his forward motion. You feel something crumple beneath your hand, and he falls to his knees, rubbing his nose furiously.
"Still haven't forgiven you for the ki binge."
"You're so cruel, Miko-chan."
"So!" You glance around, "You will fight?"
He nods, rising to his feet, "Thank you, Miko-chan! I know now, that my dark gifts are not a curse, they're a blessing, and I can turn them to-" He doesn't say anything as you smack him over the head.

"No dark powers," You tuck your hands in to your sleeves and walk away. At this rate, you have to get some sort of bludgeoning tool, fuck your hands hurt.
"Wha-whaaaa? What about destiny and-"
"It means you must choose not to follow the darkness, Anon-kun!"
"Bu-"
"No buts! This happened because-" Aaand there's the cue. Your stomach growls. You glance down, then glance up at Anon, "Eh, heheh. Mind if we eat?"

You jerk your head over when you leave the alley, Anon shuffling forward. He apparently had tried to come to the restaurant earlier, but was foiled. Riritu glances between you and Anon-kun- then makes sure to stay six or seven steps behind you. Sheesh, when'd she get tactful? You glance at Anon. The snot and tears in his beard weren't helping, you supposed. Eh, whatever.

The doorman favors you with a smile- but looks rather askance at Anon-kun's presence, "Hey, I thought I told you to stay away last time, bum. There's no way anyone inside wants you."

You see Anon deflate. What a baby. He shoves his hands in his pockets, and kicks at the ground, "I-I'm not a bum. I just-"
"Yeah, you just look and smell like one! Beat it!"
Anon-kun looks to you. Oh god, he's doing the puppy dog eyes. Fuck's sake. Riritu stays quiet behind him, looking at you.

Wait, when'd you become the leader?

>Your move.

>>27685952
>Crap, this is better. Dang it, I should have refreshed a few more times. Brownie point, no narrative pool loss this scene.

>>27686053
>>27686072
Aww yes

>>27685905
What happens when the story ends?

>>27686035
We didn't betray him you fuck.

He RAPED OUR SOUL.

Hell, even if he learns we were actually plotting against him the whole time, he still completely justified it all by doing that. How much does it take to go from soul rape to dressing someone up in your dead sisters clothes and actual raping them?

Or just stabbing them in the shower to the sound of sharp violin chords.

Besides, it was all his doing in the end. We might have pushed him along a bit but he jumped off the edge himself.

>>27686100
As far as you remember- you go on to another story.

Or you fade away.

>>27686089
"He's been through a lot, so I'm going to treat him. Noblesse oblige...right?"

>anon slapstick routine
Okay, we're getting somewhere. Narratives love to watch those!

>>27686126
>Or you fade away.
Nope. Nopenopenopenopenope.

We must become Mr. Bones. The ride shall never end.

>>27686089

There's still time for that last line:

"Just remember, Anon, the worst men are those who stop trying."

>>27686100
What do you do after you read a book?
The previous story is the real one, this one is a daydream by someone wondering 'what if?"

>>27686089
Tell him that anon's going to clean up in the restroom. Try to produce some kind of clothing for him.

>>27686089
"Hey, ease you're jets 「Tough Guy」, he's with me." Flex our gloves and walk in. Kuudere Badass modo.

Konoko, you fool, you're not the Protagonist, you're the antagonist!

>>27686089
Give our best moe-moe act and try to get him to understand that Anon is our friend.

>>27686112
>How much does it take to go from soul rape to dressing someone up in your dead sisters clothes and actual raping them?
It distresses me how plausible this is.

>>27686160
Oh god, its that episode of the Twilight Zone where the dream people beg the dreamer to not wake up.

And we're the dream people.

>>27686089

Also, time for foreshadowing:

"You know, you remind me of one of the girls back in the labs. She always kicked herself when she was down. She was so kind, and so wonderful. I can still remember her <insert Konoko's description here>."

>>27686170
That should be easy.

I forgot to fit this in last post, but for the disguise plan, you and Riritu can sneak in with only 0.01 points to manifest uniforms to pretend to be temp workers. 0.02 if you want to make them cute.

Anon though, still sticks out like a sore thumb. He'll be a separate 0.05 points if you want to disguise him. Though, you do have pull, so you can walk him in with out the points- but not getting noticed by Konoko will be a worry of yours.

>>27686112
"push him along"

Huh, and the plans of killing him to get the protag title.

That does not make waifu-kin so innocent

>>27686200
Yep.
Or that one Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei episode if you've seen. You know the one, where the try and kill the dreamer to make the dream eternal.

>>27686203
This is an incredibly dick move.

Do it.

>>27686213
Lets go cute..and Anon doesn't need to be hidden for this, Actually, I think it's better if he doesn't. We can gauge everyone's reaction while being sneaky.

>>27686203
YESSSS!

>>27686220
It justifies it though.

It was seriously starting to look like him or us for a while there.

>>27686203
Konoko sister, or Konoko childhood friend?

>>27686203
Evil, I like it

>>27686213
It'll cost .005 points to give him sunglasses and a hat of some kind?

Considering his beard, it shouldn't be hard to make him more difficult to recognize.

Deadoko, one would presume.

>>27686260
Deadnoko.

At any rate, disguising and entering. Writing.

>>27685817
Hah, nearly missed this. Saved.

>>27686260

I was the poster. I had intended to be speaking of Deadoko here, but feel free to elaborate upon how it works into evil if we are indeed talking about Konoko. Maybe we can have a vote on who tg is pulling for for this one.

>>27686213
We have some points. We'll make some cute uniforms.

How do we feel about disguising anon? Or should we just make him less offensive?

I..actually like slapsticky, kind of discouraged anon. Much better than tryhard anon

>>27686322
Ask Anon where the clothes he was wearing an hour ago went.

>>27686315

Again, I'm pushing for tearing Anon down to build him back up. That needs to start here. We are his rock and foundation. Convincing him that he can always keep going so long as he believes in himself is the way to make him ours, and more to the point make him tenacious enough to follow us into hell. We need to encourage him to walk down the road of a good man for that.

>>27686089
>Wait, when'd you become the leader?

This seems important somehow.

>>27686341
We need to get some treats for him. Train him like a dog.

Treat him like one too.

>>27686361
This, this. Anon needs to abandon his narcissistic ego first.

>>27686361
We're also a wispy non-character, who, If this was a game, would have a grayed-out shape for a CG.

>>27686381
He'll be one of those goofy, silly protagonists. Still heroic, but unserious.

>>27686363
It is. We -are- the good guys. What did Konoko do? Kick out Anon and try to lock us up. That isn't a 'Good' act. We have a good guy posse, she's a loner. We're the Protagonist, she's the Antagonist. It's almost classic.

>>27686322
>We have some points
We have the points for now. We haven't fit ourselves into the Narrative yet, so presumably we're still constantly leaking Narrative Points.

>>27686381
We are not a member of the Anit-Order CRUCIFIX. We're not doing the Dog Jokes, they've -already- been driven into the ground, calcified, and turned into the greatest soccer players evolution has ever seen.

>>27686407
True, but you gotta spend some to get some. The info we gather here could get us a real lead.

>>27686397
Goku. We should make Anon-kun Goku.

>>27686434
But I don't wanna be Chi-Chi!

>>27686452
Don't worry, we're Bulma.

Dragonball Bulma.

>>27686452
Konoko is Chi-Chi.

>>27686395

No, we are Kamina, and we have in our power right now the ability to build a better narrative as a leader of men.

>>27686472
When we're done with her, she'll wish she was Yamcha.

>>27686525
Are you an idiot?

Kamina is the last person we want to be.

That's why I've been against taking a direct coaching role.

>>27686529
Nah, I can't be too mad at her.

I'm pretty sure she learned her behavior from us, and we've been a shitty teacher.

Ideally I'd like to see her get out of this story with sufficient points to survive and learn some good lessons.

Though messing with her in the meantime might be kind of fun.

Lets get a minor disguise for Anon. We don't know what's going on and we don't want to risk him just yet.

Y'know, if Waifu Quest was an anime, it'd probably go something like this:
>OP animation heavily features Miko/Naya, and masks. She smiles a lot, acts all cute. OP song is probably something along the lines of Yobanashi Decieve (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ah2yL0A20) (woo foreshadowing for the tweest)
>First three episodes feature Anon as the main character, showing how things are as the narrative sees them
>Miko/Naya occasionally breaks character onscreen, looking disgusted at Anon behind his back etc. Always background stuff that isn't given much attention.
>Suddenly ends with him being deposed as the main character, though the audience isn't yet aware of meta elements such as that
>Cuts to a bit later, with Konoko opening the door for Leo
>Cue credits
>Next episode preview is us swearing that we're going to murder Konoko while tied up in the basement.
>Next episode's OP is a little different - Miko/Naya's expressions are a lot more scheming and uncute.
>Story starts at the beginning again - but following us instead of Anon, with meta elements on full display.
And so /a/ went completely bugfuck insane.

>>27686540

Not really an idiot, per say. The point here is that we need to be something more than a thorn in this guy's side. We need to become important to him, but important in more than a "let's see the goods" kind of way. I am not suggesting that we die for him, but we do need him to be prepared to die for us.

>>27686459
well, dragonball bulma, except we're the one who stays calm while anon freaks out

Then we direct him to "Why don't you just explode it with your powers?'
And laughtracks are played

>>27686570
Are you serious? She bumped out the little sister character and took her name before we popped into this story. She's been plotting this shit since day one, and we helped her accelerate it.

>>27686600
Then say what you mean instead of comparing us to a character who solely existed in the Narrative to motivate and empower the MC with his death.

>>27686617
No, she didn't kill Deadnoko. That was Leo. She -was- a murderous nutcase before and I think we did accelerate her problems, but she didn't kill no Little Sister.

>>27686599
I'd actually want to see that kind of anime.

"Ahhh, c'mon, he's not so bad, sides, I pity the poor guy."
"Not bad, huh..." The doorman thinks, glancing you and Riritu over.
"I get bad when I'm angry," Anon growls in a threatening manner. You give him a side kick to the knee, sending him down with a yelp. This is kinda fun. Ugh, when the narrative comes back in force though, it's probably going to dick you over. Enjoy it while you can.

"Aside from that-" You give a twirl, putting out a hand, grabbing a mop from thin air, and letting it rest on your shoulder. Sure enough, you feel the uniform settle on you, cinched in tight to show every curve- modest tennis shoes, knee high socks, a skirt juuuust bordering the edge of professionalism, a nice little apron, buttoned up shirt, and a nice half jacket. A glance at Riritu shows that she went straight for french maid and feather duster. Damn it Riritu, this isn't a hotel. Agh, and she has the perfect figure for it! Christ, you could lose a school bus in that cleavage- you rapidly regain your focus and focus back on the doorman, and giggle.

Predictably, he melts a little.

"Charlene called in sick, so we need the extra hand anyway- can we take him?" Anon staggers to his feet cursing and then catches sight of Riritu. He swallows hard.

"Well- that'd be real irregular, seeing as usually employees need to be vetted and, paying under the table is highly illegal, and entirely unnecessary for a high class joint like this," The doorman looks you up and down, and blushes, "But, what the Hell. Have at it."
"Thanks<3! I'll make sure to remember-" Riritu starts as she walks past, but the doorman's look ends her smiles rapidly.

"Get going, I'm not going to be patient forever!" He barks. Moody moody. The three of you hustle inside, "And take the left! Don't be running around this classy place with your disrespectable garb in sight!"

"Yeah yeah yeah," You enter. God it smells good. Shit, you ARE hungry. Anon looks a little baffled.

>>27686617
That was Leopold actually, and she admits that she never would have thought of stealing the spotlight without us.


She still needs to die though.

>>27686540
We're not Kamina.

We're Bright motherfucking Noah.

"I thought we were going to-"
"Shush," You squint, looking across the sea of faces- no one on this level. You see a great deal of tables and chairs, glittering with candles and crystal. A few suspicious looking people are here though- a guy clearly with spiky hair from the Yakuza judging from his tacky jewelry, a few nervous guys with long coats clearly set up for an ineffective ambush, a distraught couple arguing. Konoko might like it refined, but the lowered world alignment had left its mark.

At the center, an implausibly delicate looking elevator of glass labeled 'VIP.' Goons lounged by it. You're guessing they wouldn't be as easily taken care of as the doorman.

"So I need a table for 3- the best place you got in the house-"
"I'm sorry, monsieur, but how did you get in here?"

Crap. You glance over, and see Anon leaning over the maitre'd puffing up in annoyance.
"What? Don't make meowowowow-"
"What are you DOING?" You hiss in to Anon's ear that you are tugging him away with. You glance up- yeah, to your left, a service entrance. To the kitchens. They couldn't send waiters through the elevator, there had to be a better way-
"I wanted to, ow, apologize," Anon whimpers, "And, uh, y'know. I saw Konoko coming in here. With a fancy guy. I...I just wanted to make sure-"
"Ara ara~" You hear. Some huge plutocrat with a vast paunch and top hat was being accosted by Riritu, "Is that an elder sign? I've never seen one inlaid with gold before-"
"I beg your pardon?" The fat man stammers nervously, "I, elder sign? I haven't the foggiest-"
"Riritu!" You grab her, dragging her away by her ear, "I- I am so sorry sir, I didn't mean to-"

Then it strikes you. You haven't left the entrance hall. You glance around in horror at all the pompous sorts, the walking cliches, the stacked pyramids of glasses, the disapproving matrons.

She'd set up a slapstick minefield perfect for these morons.

>Test needed to move with stealth or subtlety to not warn Konoko of your coming.
>Your move.

>>27686650

Noted, but my point stands. We need to establish an emotional connection with Anon, at least enough to get him to do something stupid for us in a pinch. I am in no way wanting a new waifu association, unless HE is OUR waifu. Think Piccolo.

>>27686599
FUND IT FUND IT FUND IT FUND IT

>This is kinda fun. Ugh, when the narrative comes back in force though, it's probably going to dick you over. Enjoy it while you can.

Oh right, this isn't really in character at all.

Maybe we can play it off as Anon's soul-rape kind of corrupting us, or be channeling Deadoko?

Touch anything
AND I WILL BREAK YOU

Alright, Twen, I'm about to call it a night - I don't want to, but I kinda have an early day tomorrow. SO goodnight and good run.

I do want to leave a question - is it possible our next power up could be 'Remembering Past Lives' and find some way to let the narrative remember our powers from older stories? I'd love it if we got out of this with a nice bonus like able to remember Chi shield next story, or having our pet with out through stories.

>>27686599
I would watch the hell out of it.

But I just don't think the japanese audience would appreciate it.

Is 4chan back?

>>27686766
Yes, but is Twen back?

>>27686766

Going by posts linked to mine-

Resist has 11.
Go with it has: 9.

We're resisting. 5 rolls of 1d100 against narrative health of 47, three successes necessary.

Now though, I gotta dump all the stuff written. Please hold.
