You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.After learning a bit about your mentor Volker, wandering around the castle for a while and attempting to console a crying little girl, your and the others headed to your suite to wait for the servants to bring you your dinner.>Congratuations, you are now a mangy DOG!>While dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.Thread archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestCharacter list + descriptions (in progress):http://pastebin.com/1Vhj4DJvTwitter:https://twitter.com/QM_Archelon>>
>"I asked for spaghetti, so it shouldn't take them too long..." Luciana says. "So, does anyone have any ideas as to what we should do while we wait?"Hmm... you would suggest a card game or something similar, but there doesn't seem to be anything of that sort in this room. While trying to think of an activity to suggest, your mind drifts to something that Luciana mentioned earlier."So... grimoires?" you say to Luciana."Eh!? Wh-" Luciana stammers."Oh, so you picked up on that?" Marianne says, a slight smile forming on her face."Um, I'm sure that Reinhold was just mistaken...""Looks like the cat's out of the bag, Luciana," Nicolette says, clearly enjoying this."Whatever, it's not like you're going to tell anyone..." Luciana mumbles, defeated. "...and I hope you'll keep this to yourself too, Karel.""Er- I wouldn't dream of blabbing about anyone's secrets!" Karel stammers, waving his arms in front of himself for emphasis."Just making sure," she sighs. "So yeah, I collect grimoires. Been doing so ever since Aunt Ariane gave me my first one when I was a little girl, and my collection's been growing ever since then.""Most of them were written by old crazy wizards and the like so most of the spells they hold end up as Mantra that I can't decipher, but even those have a lot of useful information about spell theory and philosophy and the inner workings of the universe..." Luciana explains. "...I know that Father would absolutely lose his mind if he found out about my collection, so PLEASE don't mention it to anyone.">[1/2]
>>28292409>[2/2]"Hey Sylvie, it looks like that's two things you have in common with Luciana now..." Nicolette says teasingly. "...you'd better step up your game though, you don't want your rival beating you in both of them!""Hm?" Karel says, turning to them. "Two things?""Yeah," she replies. "They're both total nerds about magic, and they're both TOTALLY into R-"Nicolette's sentence is cut off by the sheer force of Sylvie punching her in the side, sending her flying off of the couch they were both sitting on, landing face-first onto the floor."M- Miss Nicolette, are you alright!?" Karel shouts as he rushes to help her up."Y- yeah, don't worry about it..." Nicolette replies with a painful laugh. "Just one of the hazards of having a best friend whose father is the God of Punching..."After Karel helps her stand back up, Nicolette dusts herself off and sits back down next to her attacker."Oh my, Sylvie... I didn't know I had so much in common with you!" Luciana says, grinning slyly. "Feel free to come over to my room later, I'm sure that we'd have a lot to talk about..."As Sylvie's face turns bright red while she starts to make an embarassed sqeaking sound, Marianne sighs and clears her throat."Alright, that's more than enough teasing," Marianne says in an exasperated tone. "Let's talk about something else. Karel, you seem to be about as far as it gets from accidentally stumbling on something embarassing...""Eh!? Me?" Karel replies.>ask him about his home life>ask him about his swordery training>ask him about the tournment>ask him what he thinks about the royal family>ask him what he thinks about you guys>ask him about something else (specify what)
>>28292437>Make sure Nic isn't internally bleeding or having kidney failure>ask him about his swordery training
>>28292437>>ask him about his swordery training>ask him what he thinks about you guysGet a feel for the guy. Subconsciously test him.
>>28292437>ask him about the tournament
>>28292437>ask him about his swordery training>>28292465She'll be fine, happens several times a day.
>>28292437[x] Ask him how hes adjusting to his new job and whether its for 6 months as well.
>>28292437>>ask him about the tournmentHe'll be the center of attention. Great for making him come out of his shell.
>>28292484Seems to be getting progressively worse, though.I am allowed to have my concerns.
>>28292437TOURNAMENTSWORDSEMILIO I want to know more about who our charge will be spending mandatory time with this visit
>>28292437I'm starting to fall in love with a possible Lucianna route
>>28292539If nothing else I'd like to begin returning the shameless flirting. I have a friend like that. Even though we both think of it as a joke, it's fun as hell to do.>>28292528pic related
Ask him for tips on dealing with Marconetti's nobles, he's got a different perspective than our royal, female companions. It may also be funny to watch him try not to say anything too insulting or inappropriate in front of Luciana.
>>28292437>swordery+plan a duel
>>28292437>With the way she reacts to your teasing, and what someone said about how she usually isn't comfortable around guys, I did think that actually. But she hasn't tried making any moves on me, so I'm pretty sure she just sees me as a friend.>She only reacts so violently out of embarrassment for you being so wrong.
>>28292539Yes.
>>28292627I cannot imagine how hard Sylvie would blush if we said that.Perhaps her face would split open and the blood would just come seeping out.
>>28292539Luciana Best Princess.
>>28292627Please this. Reinhold knows IC and I really want to see the reaction. Re-word it to fit his characterization of course.
>>28292658Think Arch's pretty much implied that there's no Luciana route because Marconetti's king.
>>28292437We ask him who of us he likes.
>writing
>>28292678No that just makes it the hardest route.
>>28292678The hardest paths must be forged ourselves.
>>28292437>ask him about his swordery training
>>28292678He flat out stated that the Luciana Route originally involved BDSM shit.Pretty sure there's a Luciana Route.
>>28292678Routes don't necessitate marriage although we'd just have to murder a couple of people
>>28292437>ask him about his home life
>>28292539too bad its never gonna happen..
What are the relationship between people we know and royalty, again?I remember that Celestino is Gregory's brother-in-law. Is Sylie related to anyone in either royal family?
>>28292757She's like third in line for the throne. I'd imagine so.
>>28292732Just vote for the next princess! Marie!
>>28292787Elective succession? I can't remember a case where that has worked out well for everyone involved.
>>28292757Vincent is married to Thierri's first cousin if I remember correctly meaning Sylvie's the second cousin of Marriane
>>28292805Sylvie is the daughter of the king's sister I thought? Because aren't Sylvie and Marianne cousins? And after the King, the line of Succession goes to his Brother(Void), then to Marianne, then to Sylvie, doesn't it?
>>28292757Sylvie's mother is Thierri's first cousin.Sir Gregory is another generation removed but also Thierri's cousin, and also Celestino's brother-in-law.
I'm going to make a family tree in paint because now I'm just confused.
>>28292827Granache's line of succession:1: Marianne2: Raoul (absent)3: Angelique (Sylvie's mother)4: Sylvie5-6: Sylvie's sisters7: Gregory8: Nicolette9: Guillaume10: Bernard
>>28292801It worked fine in the Holy Roman Empire for about half a millennium. It had some problems eventually, but so does everything.
>>28292857>GuillaumeYou mean Arnaud? He's royalty but he works as a butler? What.Who is Bernard?
>>28292910Nicolette's brothers.
>>28292910Guillaume and Bernard are Nico's brothers.
Is it just me or is the power balance between the kings and the nobility seem heavily slanted in favor of the Kings in the countries we've been in?
>>28292910Nico's brothers.
>>28292932We've only really been around the royalty. And, Arnaud is a commoner.
>>28292857>8: Nicolette>9: Guillaume>10: BernardSo cognatic? Thierri is liberal as fuck.
>>28292932We have yet to meet the majority of the nobility.
>>28292932It seems that way in Granache. In Marconetti, we don't really know.
>>28292932Yeah, I've been getting that feeling too can't quite place a finger on it at the moment though
>>28292983>>28292989Marconetti seems to have a standing army rather than rely on Feudal Levees, which means that one of the traditional bastions of Noble power doesn't exist here. Also, Nation-States seem to at least kind of be a thing.
I hope that some day Reinhold runs into a dude besides Monique that doesn't instantly love him.
>>28292732i can pretty much imagine Luciana singing "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by taylor swift only with altered lyrics."we are never ever ever going to be together!"
>>28293031Plenty of the guardsmen don't like us. Also, we are probably about to run into prick central.
>>28293018Perhaps the power balance is a result of many of the countries being founded around powerful entities like the sealed kings which would have eliminated the necessity to gain power through borrowing manpower from nobility in order to form and maintain such countries, leading to a tradition of much more centralized states unlike in feudalism in real life.
>>28292932>>28292983I agree, but it's a mystery to me how they keep the nobles in line. They treat Reinhold like a peer (or we are extremely naive and presumptuous and people are too polite to correct us).
>>28292437>>ask him about his home life>ask him about the tournment>ask him what he thinks about the royal family
"I don't really think that I'm all that interesting..." Karel says bashfully."You mentioned that you've been training in swordsmanship for as long as you can remember, right?" you reply. "Why not talk about that?""Yes, that sounds like it would be interesting," Marianne joins in."Too bad Elena isn't here to listen on... this sounds like the kind of thing that she'd like," Nicolete sighs."Uh, alright," Karel says, sighing. "If you really want to hear about that, I guess...""So, um..." Karel begins. "My mother was always really into swords and that kind of thing, so she kind of pushed on me for as long as I can remember. She used all the money she earned as a waitress in my great-uncle's cafe to pay for the best tutors she could afford, and I spent most of my time training under them while she worked.""So you're a swordsman solely because of your mother's wishes?" Melanie asks."Eheh... well, it was her idea at first but it's pretty much the only thing that I've ever wanted to do with my life too so I guess I've kind of internalized it?" Karel laughs."She must be proud to have such a dutiful kid," Nicolette remarks."He's pretty far from some people I know..." Sylvie says, glaring at her.>[1/?]
>>28293079Wait, then why would knighthood or an equivalent milatiristic gentry rank emerge in this kind of a world (besides the usual RPG/JRPG excuse)?
>>28293079Good analysis. I'd also wager you'd start getting Charles XIV style distracting the nobles with pointless royal positions.
>>28292932In Granache's case they seem to have a line of long-lived very good kings.In that case it makes sense for power to concentrate towards them over time and for most of their vassals to have great respect for them.
>>28293079That's exactly it.
>>28293122Probably because us humans can gain not-insignificant power. It's not that hard to conceptualise, especially if it's a title gained on merit instead of through blood.
>>28293101In Grananche the vast majority of the truly strong seem to be the kings supporters. Traditional feudal levees of the semi-competent would fair extremely poorly against people that capable, and worse for the nobility their levees would know it.
>>28293154So the title "Knight" is not so much a social-political title as it is just another way to say "Hero" or "Champion"?Very Arthurian. I dig it.
>>28293122Probably the same reason as the centralization: You get very powerful creatures outside of normal nobility who can be promoted based on merit.
>>28293204Yeah, the impression I'm getting from knighthood and promotion in general in this universe is one based on merit or deeds. Plus its always good to promote valuable service to support the kingdom through ennobling regardless of whether or not they can do without said support.
>>28293129You mean Louis XIV?Sun King encounter when?
>>28293120Ask about the cafe, is it still open? Do we have time to eat there?
>>28293286Derp. Yeah, I do. Sorry, it's been a long day.
>>28293120This >>28293293Food (or potential food) is always best option.
>>28293293>>28293325We're about to be served dinner. NOT NOW
>>28293293>"Let's go gawk at his humble origins!"This might be part of why I hate talking to people - I'm never sure how/if someone'll twist what I say into something horrible.
>>28293325>>28293293We've already got food on the way.
>>28293333>>28293340I should have been more clear, I meant eat there at some point during the trip. >>28293337I did not mean to imply that in any way. The girls are likely to be busy most of the time, I thought Reinhold and Karel could bond over food.
Didn't we plan a whole day for going out with the girls?
>>28293293Dude, we're waiting on spaghetti.Though, it seems like Sylvie already has hers.
>>28293120"So my mother paid the for the best tutors she could afford, mostly adventurers and the like," Karel says. "And as time went on and she took over the cafe when my great-uncle retired, we had more and more money to be able to afford to hire better tutors.""Oh my, it sounds like she's put in almost as much work as you did in order for you to get this far..." Luciana says, genuinely impressed."She worked way harder than I did, actually," he laughs. "And even when my tutors weren't around, I trained in my free time... my mother was thinking about putting me into the dueling circuit when I got a little older, but then the King made the announcement for the tournament and that was way too good of a chance to pass up.""Umm, if I'm not prying too much, was that at all similar to how you got started, Mr. Reinhold?" Karel asks."Me? Not really, no," you reply. "I don't have parents or anything like that, so I've been pretty much just working hard to get close to Volker's level of skill. When I was in the army, my CO said that I might as well enter the tournament so that's how I got here," you shrug."Oh," he says guiltily. "Sorry, I didn't know...""Don't worry about it, I'm not offended or anything. But yeah, my training wasn't to advance socially or anything, it was just something personal. And I still hae a long way to go from here.">[2/?]
>>28293337It's okay anon, I too have an irrational fear that all my friends secretly hate me.
>>28293378I hear ya. Just my chronic Shadowruns being a pain, don't mind me.>>28293418There's a reason she keeps it in her pocket.>>28293423>friends;_;
>>28293422Reinhold, casually making people constantly feel awkward with his upbringing since thread 3
>>28293455I'm still waiting for one of the gals to make an actual move on us so we can PTSD and become an emotional wreck more.
>>28293422>it was just something personal. And I still hae a long way to go from here.I cant wait till we hit monster-teir like Sir Vincent and Sir Gregory.
>>28293422"...my training wasn't to advance socially or anything..." I'm a little puzzled by this, although it might be because I'm the cafe guy and the potentially negative implication behind my previous suggestion got me thinking.
>>28293488Word of advice: you are overthinking.There's a time and place to be paranoid but now is not it.
>>28293473That may be exclusively Marie territory. I just can't imagine the others getting that same reaction, since we treat them more or less as equals. Or rather, they treat US as equals.I can't imagine that would have gone over too well in alternate Luciana's BDSM route though...
>>28293473It will be like a flood of delicious emotional damage slamming down on us all in all of its glory. Why is trauma in protagonists so goddamn entertaining?
>>28292857Does this look right?
>>28293422>You joined the military hoping to improve your lot in life--an orphan who was brought up as the "cleaning staff" of a brothel in a poor fishing village, you wanted nothing more to leave those whores and drunkards behind and prove yourself as a brave and strong man of virtue and class. Theres been multiple references where it said he tried to become a swordsman so he could escape the brothel.
>>28293506Not really interested in that route. Though I wonder if he has another one planned where the rolls are reversed.
>>28293422>[3/3]"Chasing after the shadow of your deceased master... training day and night, regardless of any material gains... Mr. Reinhold, I do believe that's what they call 'a man's romance,'" Luciana says, swooning in an exaggerated manner.Sylvie and Melanie begin blushing upon hearing Luciana's comment, and Nicolette simply rolls her eyes."Honestly, Luciana..." Marianne sighs. "Anyways, I'm sure that your mother is quite proud of you, Karel.""Th- thanks, Princess Marianne!" Karel stammers.>ask about something else?
>>28293536Gregory's sister is alive. She's Celestino's second wife IIRC.
>>28293527Because it lets the protagonist suffer deliciously without a ton of drawbacks in the short or long term.
>>28293537Not the kind of thing you bring up in polite company.
>>28293544Ask him what he thinks of our group
>>28293554The Dead one is his first wife."Dead" is supposed to read as being a separate box (his first wife).Sorry if that isn't clear.
>>28293536Huh, I was just about to write one up in my terrible handwriting, but I guess you saved me the effort Thanks.One correction though, Gregory's sister isn't dead.
>>28293544>"It has been a lonely pursuit, Luciana."
>>28293571might want to make it separate boxes and put giancarlo and her other children under it, but nice tree otherwise
>>28293571Oh, I see. That's actually quite elegant.
>>28293574Since two people misconstrued it, I'll alter the tree so that it's clearer. Or just remove her.Any other names to put in there?
>>28293544Nah, that's about it. What's next on the agenda?
>>28293537 What >>28293562 said.
>>28293544nah.>>28293540Well, Marie did say she liked strong men...
>>28293544"A warrior's romance maybe. Weathering the storm of life for that which he feels is right by honor and virtue is a true man's romance, regardless of calling. A man's justice is his own."Just as an idle aside, without much thought. Might be worth a giggle.
>>28293544Ask about the tournament
>>28293582Ah, can you clarify who Giancarlo is and who he's related to? It's not ringing any bells for me.Revised tree at the moment.
>>28293639Giancarlo is Luciana's older brother and the youngest of the children that Celestino had with his first wife.
>>28293639He's the pervert dickwad who likes to grope every woman around him.
>>28293544>"Honestly, Luciana..."Yeah, really. Bitch needs to chill.
>>28293536you should put in Reinhold somewhere and with "dead whore mom lol" as his parent
>>28293544sparring later with karel is still on right?please no innuendo
>>28293544duel.let's test him
>>28293664We shall test our honour against each other's
>>28293664She already said she was busy.
Why the hell is Luciana so randy today? Is she secretly wearing a vibrator under her clothes or something?
>>28293671Ask karel if he has trouble finding sparring partners
>>28293671No. Bad. We're waiting for spaghetti.
>>28293678>She
>>28293683That'd be a good way at testing him.
>>28293679Because we're difficult to fluster, and thus a challenge, and Marianne is hilariously easy to mess with.
>>28293678oh.. well too bad then.i still want Rein to do something at night other than sleep.. it is his first night out of his kingdom.
>>28293679She's always like this. She just had to be more restrained in Granache because everywhere we saw her was bit public.
>>28293678Takamaru is still on the list, too.
>>28293679you should have seen the ORIGINAL luciana.
>>28293679Because she's genuinely trying to express her feelings however the role she placed on herself for whatever reason is one of a jokester and its now the only way she knows how to express herself well so now whenever she tries to say something no one takes it seriously.
>>28293649Sorry for asking so many questions, but can I get it listed like so far Celestino:C+First Wife1. 2. 3...C+Second Wife1.2.3....I apologize, just want to make sure I get that part right. Celestino appears to be quite fruitful.
>>28293737I happen to have made a handy list for myself, so I shall simply copypaste it.1-6 are with the first wife, 7-10 are with the second.1 daughter2 daughter3 son4 son5 daughter6 giancarlo (third son)7 luciana (fourth daughter)8 emilio (fourth son)9 elena (fifth daughter)10 baby
>>28293679Because she's Best Girl.Have you never had a friend that behaves like this constantly? I've had a couple. I admit it gets annoying sometimes (notably when it's a same-sex friend), but I've always enjoyed the sort of shameless flirting that results whenever it's one of my female friends.
>>28293777Wow. Celestino... Damn.
>>28293537That's pretty different to increasing your standingReinhold learned the sword to get put of the brothel because it was shit, all he ever wanted to do was join the army and sword thingsNow if he had planned to use his sword skills to in the army and then become a knight that would be doing it to increases his social standingBecause really just joining the army doesn't mean shit for your social standing it just puts you one rung above spooge mopper at the whorehouse and probably not much further barring extenuating circumstances

Luciana says as she scurries towards the door and lets the servants in.Assuming EXTRA FORMAL MODE due to Luciana's presence, the two butlers who've arrived with your food bow deeply before entering the room and then stop at the table."The princess specified that there are seven of you eating today, am I correct?" a butler says, rechecking to make sure that the number of plates that were prepared match the number of people in the room."Yes, that would be correct. Thank you," Luciana replies."Actually..." Karel begins, "...I actually need to get going now. Sorry that I can't have dinner with you, but I have some personal things to attend to," he says, bowing."Aww, what a shame..." Luciana pouts.

"There's a lot of food here...""Oh, don't worry about Nicolette," Luciana laughs. "Her appetite is legendary.""Er- if you say so, Princess..."The butlers quickly set the places at the suite's dinner table as everyone gets up from the couches and move to where the food is. The aroma of the spaghetti is mouthatering, and it's all you can do to keep from simply devouring it before everyone else has theirs."Would you happen to need anything else, Princess?" a butler asks."No, that would be all," Luciana replies.

>>28294205>He's his own grandpa!
>>28294088Hay arch can we get a rollI want some spaghetti to!
>>28293777How many are still alive?
>>28294451All of them.
>>28294459I'll bet they have quite eventful family reunions.
Smelling this delicious spaghetti that sits before only serves to remind you that you haven't eaten a thing since breakfast this morning.And it's 7:30 PM now.Making a concerted effort to keep from eating before some else has already begun to do so, you turn to Marianne and Luciana as you notice then starting to eat."I'm sorry for the scene of debauchery that you're about to witness..." you say half-jokingly as you chow down into your food, unable to control yourself any longer.As you enter DEVOUR mode, both Nicolette and Sylvie do the same as the others look on."I see that Reinhold shares the same healthy appetite as Nicolette and Sylvie..." she laughs."It does seem that way... unfortunately," Marianne sighs. "I suppose now I know how he hit it off so quickly with those two...""Oh, don't be like that," she replies, laughing. "Reinhold needs to eat up so he can grow up to be big and strong like your father!""Ugh..." she sighs. "And don't think that I haven't noticed that you dropped the 'mister' when referring to him now.""Seeing as how he knows by true feelings now, I don't really think there's any reason to remain formal," she shrugs. "Besides, it's kind of weird referring to someone so close in age to me as 'mister.'">[1/?]
>>28294547"You did tell me to just start calling you 'Marie', yourself."
>>28294547>>28294581this gts my vote for suggestion.
>>28294547>>28294581^
>>28294547Despite having two full plates of food, Nicolette finishes eating first, followed by you and Sylvie. Melanie and the two princesses are the last to clean their plates, what with being actual proper ladies and all."That was great," Nicolette exclaims happily. "I hadn't eaten a damned thing since the wee hours of the morning, so that really hit the spot.""I'm glad to see that you're satisfied with our food," Luciana replies, smiling."And I see that you didn't save any for me," a male voice says from the direction of the door."Wha!?" you gasp, instantly hitting panic mode and turning to face the sudden intruder... and then you see that it's just Sir Gregory who had snuck in the room."Don't mind me, I'm just checking on things..." Sir Gregory says, running a hand through his hair."Oh, Uncle Gregory!" Luciana says happily. "If I'd have known that you would be joining us, I'd have saved a plate...""Eh, I was just messing with you," he replies. "I just came in here to say that Celestino and Thierri finally let me escape from Argument Hell and that Reinhold's free to do whatever.""Huh?" you say, unsure what he means."These rooms are as safe as Marianne's room in the castle," Sir Gregory explains. "And once you guys tell me what room they stuck me with, I'll be sticking around there for the rest of the night so you can go off and live it up once she decides to call it a night.">[2/?]
>>28294839B-but I'm having fun right here!
>>28294839Yeah, it's actually kind of fun to just hang out with Marie and company.
>>28294875>>28294891>Fun
>>28294839Is it time to quietly draw in the corner?"I will now take my leave! I am sleeping here, so I won't actually be going anywhere, but you don't have to talk to me anymore."
>>28294908Go home and fail to propagate, Marcel.
>>28294875Read the post, he said "once she decides to call it a night." So we're not leaving immediately.Also, people here don't know us from just our appearance so we can go to the training yard and people will actually spar us if we conveniently forget to mention our name.
>>28294839I advise being grateful for the offer, but explain we're happy having fun here with our friends. Marie, Nico, Sylvie, Melanie, Luciana... ...man we need to drag Karel back here so no one makes any damn jokes about all our friends being girls.
>>28294839>Argument HellThat's always fun, a different kind of fun but fun nevertheless. Not the fun we want! Sketch in the gardens for a little while.

>>28294950ok Dice Gods we will just keep showing us your favor.
>>28294986I could get behind this. Her husband is a famous painter, so surely it would be easy to get directions to where they're staying.
>>28294986She isn't going to be in until tomorrow.
>>28294912We could go play outside instead.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVqsxGZ0V8sI mean like the childhood we never had...>>28294950Nevermind, I can't argue with that.
>>28294950I'm all for drawing since Macronetti is described as pretty beautiful looking.
>>28294950Nico and the lewd mage still owe us a sketch.
>>28294928I like this.
>>28295056I just watched Space Jam this past Sunday...
>>28295056>far rightAizen-sama!
>>28294950This is a decent notion. I would like to explore the town a bit too, maybe do some sketches there-- isn't this the first time that Reinhold has really left Granache? I can't remember if we did any travelling with the army, but surely this must be the first (or one of the few) times that we've been abroad with the opportunity for leisure/fun. Plus don't we have a fair bit of money that we can spend? Heading out for the evening will also build romantic/dramatic tension. I'm sure Luciana will delight in telling them that we're out cavorting with the local girls.
>>28295056I am surprised this wasn't dropped yet.
>>28295075Hell yeah.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9FImc2LOr8
>>28295056We shall sketch them in their dresses for maximum embarrassment.
>>28295090If only Celestino wasn't afraid of losing one of his many heirs, we could inviteBest Girl to come with us.
>>28294928>conveniently forget to mention our name."W-who are you swordsman?""I am the man with no name... now let us do battle!""Wait that's fucking Reinhold, didn't you see the painting King Celestino commissioned?"Let's do it.

>>28295124If asked we should probably stick with "No one of consequence." if asked.
>>28294839>[3/3]"That's rather considerate of you," Marianne says."Meh, I don't believe in spreading the misery," Sir Gregory replies. "Not among people I actually like, anyways. So what room am I in?""You're in a suite with me," Nicolette says. "First door to the left.""Ah, so we get to have some father-daughter time then," he smirks as he heads to the door. "And I'm sure that Reinhold doesn't appreciate my tresspassing on his lovely flower garden here, so I'll make myself scarce now."Before anyone can muster up a witty comeback, Sir Gregory quickly exits the room."Ugh..." Marianne sighs. "Well, we're done eating and there are some things I wanted to talk with Luciana privately about... but I suppose I can wait a bit longer before kicking you all out.""Your kindness wounds me," Nicolette retorts.>suggest a thing to talk about or something?>or shall the band disperse?

>>28295181sketch time i guess luciana would be pretty happy about us sketching her... but that can wait a more... intimate time
>>28295181Ask Luciana if she knows when Lanzmann is coming in. If she asks why mention that his wife is an old friend of ours.Other than that I can't think of anything pressing and once that's taken care of we can wander off and either find someone to spar with or get some landscape drawing in if there's still light out.
>>28295181>>or shall the band disperse?
>>28295207This works. I want to see Citrine. Especially since we know where Volker used to live and stuff now.
>>28295113>>28295113Reinhold is probably too pure for a night on the town with Luciana. But still... Throw on some peasant clothes, head down to some dockside taverns; drink, dance, gamble, fight, then an awkward hook-up in a filthy alley....
>>28295135Not bad, but this is superior:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li8ZqVGzDXQ
>>28295253Reinhold doesn't do like doing any of those things.
>>28295207This
>>28295253>gamble, fight, then an awkward hook-up in a filthy alleyI hope you're joking.
>>28293927Why are you using octagons with (m) and (f) to denote gender?In family trees, you're supposed to put squares for males and circles for females.
>>28295261Weird I was just listening to that one. It is pretty good.
>>28295253Yep that totally sounds like what Reinhold would enjoy doing.
>>28295279>>28295276The joke is that he's too pure for Luciana but not too pure to drink, dance, gamble, fight, and fuck in an alley.
>>28295248>>28295251>>28295207>>28295278It was said that he will be here tomorrow, which mean tomorrow morning.>>28295181Sketching time.
>>28295293>>28295279>>28295276Yes it was a joke. Hence the "Reinhold is probably too pure for a night on the town with Luciana." >>28295248>>28295251Seconding/thirding/whatevering these.
>>28295283Because I know nothing about family tree construction, and just wanted to throw something together to organize it.I can redo it with squares and circles if you like, though.>>28295186Th-thanks.
>>28295181TO THE BATTLEMENTS, maybe ask a pretty face or two to be in our sketch.
>Not asking Luciana for a sketch
>>28295181Time to draw.
>>28295382I'd rather not go down that path.
>>28295382Not really the best time, Luciana will run with it and make sure everyone will take it in the worst way possible. It'll just be awkwardness all around.
>>28295325>I can redo it with squares and circles if you like, though.It'd certainly cool my autism if you did so.
>>28295419I'm already working on it.The baby is sexual confused and has no gender, though. Any special shape for that?
>>28295437Triangle.Trust me, I'm a geneticist.
>>28295437A square inside a circle?
>>28295437Circle with four points?
>>28295303Great, now I'm resisting the STRONG urge to loudly sing that show's ending theme.
>>28293927>Line horizontally connecting Gregory to his sisterNot sure if you realize this, but that line like that doesn't show that they have the same parents, it shows that they fucked.
>>28295462Are you the drunken geneticist?If not, shut up and go sit in the corner, no one gives a shit.
>>28295483Well, this IS a VN quest. Maybe Gregory went down the imouto route for a little while before meeting Ariane.
>>28295485Please don't be rude, anon, your opinion means too much to me.
>>28295483I don't.I clearly know nothing about constructing family trees, and would appreciate further instruction if you know more.I have no class on Fridays because I made my T/W/R SUUUUUCK, so I've got all night.

>>28295419Is there a specific way I should divide Celestino's children from his first/second wife (and how I should indicate that he remarried), is is what I did acceptable?I'm sorry for this tangent, Arc. I didn't mean for it to get a bunch of discussion.
>>28295523So it is. I thought it said "Welcome to ANIMESHADE.COM" And I figured that wasn't the name.Then there was NHK and some Moon Runes. So I asked.>>28295537>>28295541Thanks>>28295568>Not having the full versionpleb

"No suggestions?" Marianne asks. "Alright then... it was nice spending the day with you and everything, but please get out. That also includes you," she points to you. "Consider yourself relieved for the day."Uh... thanks?""As rude as ever, I see..." Nicolette mumbles.As the others prepare to leave, you turn to Luciana."Before I forget..." you begin, "I heard that the Lanzmanns are going to be in town for your brother's party.""Oh, you're familiar with Marius Lanzmann's work?" Luciana asks, genuinely surprised. "...that's right, Marianne did say that you were something of an artist...""Umm, I believe that they'll be here tomorrow morning?" Luciana replies, slightly unsure."Oh, cool," you reply. "Would you happen to know where they're staying?""I'm not quite sure, but I could always find out... might I ask why you're so curious?">well, his wife happens to be my childhood friend and...>well, his wife happens to be my sister and...>make something up

>>28295517That's what I like in my scientists. A willingness to get shitfaced at the drop of a hat. Pick your poison and go commit a crime against humanity.

>>28295831If we're sketching, try sketching a floormap connecting the various suites. Specifically what is physically adjacent to every room.While I dont doubt that Gregory is absolutely right about the safety of the wing, I'd feel remiss in our duty to not at least casually investigate the surrounding area.Good habits are good habits.
>>28295723Do this.>>28295785>>28295904Also a good idea, it's always useful to know where things are in case of an emergency. We won't always have the time to check which suite belongs to which people.
>>28295904Should we get a map of the entire castle as well?
>>28295904I don't think going around making a floor map of a foreign castle is a good habit. I think it's a highly suspicious and rude habit.
>>28295846>don't complicate the situation by lying,Absolutely.>we've been honest to a faultHonesty is never a fault.
>>28295928I sincerely doubt that the people here are going to give us a map. That's important information you don't just hand out to people from other kingdoms.
>>28295904Our king is busy being mad about Henri, we don't need to give Celestino a reason to go "See! You're just the same!" at him.
>>28295936If it wasn't a fault, then why is "Honest to a fault" a cliche?
>>28295928I doubt we'll get one. We only got one of Granache Castle because the librarian lent us his own personal copy.
>>28295929exploring and trying to familiarize ourselves with the area seems a good compromise>its rinueddOur passion for our work never dwindled in the first place, dear Captcha.
>>28295952Faulty men fear the righteousness of the honest, and in their craven jealousy, they paint it in a poor light.
>>28295929We're not making a full floor plan. Just the specifics of our rooms.Besides which, our job isnt diplomat. Its keeping the Princess safe.
>>28295964What about sketching the tomboy and lewd mage?Or We can sketch the Loli.
>>28295991Our real job is apparently to be her friend.
>>28295998We can attempt that at a later time
>>28295991>Its keeping the Princess safeWhich is also being a diplomat since we can cause her harm in a lot of way.
>>28295936>>28295952Because the idiomatic expression "to a fault" means "to an excessive degree", rather than meaning the "to a degree at which it becomes a weakness" as you might expect if you were to try and take it literally.
>>28295991It's a dumb idea. Just familiarize ourselves with the area. Even if our job isn't a diplomat we aren't supposed to be doing anything that makes Granache look bad. It's completely unnecessary to draw the place and a highly suspicious action.
>>28295991You do realize that most spies are attached to the staff of a diplomat or VIP? Being caught with a self-made map of the castle would be very bad for international relations, much less personal safety.
>>28295998>mfw that gif
>>28296028Nah. Most spies are the entertainers. Nobody gets into the private areas faster than the chick with the harp.
>>28296113Princes love harps.
>>28296140But princesses? They love swordsmen.
>>28296145You mean bitches love swords.
>>28296167BITCHES LOVE CANNONS!
Castle life aint nothing but princes and bitches.

"Well," you begin, "his wife happens to be my sister, and she told me that she'd be attending this party when I saw her the other day," you say. "So I thought I'd find out where she'd be staying beforehand so I don't forget.""Oh my..." Luciana says with a look of surprise. "So that means that Marius Lanzmann is your brother-in-law...""I haven't actually met him yet, but Citrine was saying that she wanted to introduce us to each other.""Aw, that's so sweet..." Luciana giggles. "I'll be sure to find out for you once Marianne's done lecturing me, okay?""Sure, thanks," you reply.With that, you and the non-princess members of your group of friends head our into the hallway."So, I was thinking that maybe I could do a quick sketch of Nicolete..." you wonder out loud."Right now?" Sylvie replies. "I was thinking that you'd rather get one of her in the dress she'll be wearing for the party...'"...god damn it Sylvie I am so going to punch you..." Nicolette mumbles. "Sorry, I'm too beat from all that dragon-fighting I did this morning to play artist with you tonight."Well, now you need to think of something else to do...>go explore the area of town close to the castle, you've never actually been to a foreign country before.>head to the battlements of the castle and sketch the view>go and see if you can find Emilio>go and see if you can find Karel>go hang out with Sir Gregory>go find Monique>do something else

>>28296218>>go explore the area of town close to the castle, you've never actually been to a foreign country before.
>>28296254>>28296250Because Reinhold pretty much thinks of her as his sister?
>>28296251>>28296256So much yes.If he says no, ask if he wants to hit the town with us.
>>28296250because it's true in a figurative sense. We think of her as a sister, as she thinks of us as a brother. If our teacher hadn't died, we would have been literally brother and sister.

>>28296218>>go explore the area of town close to the castle, you've never actually been to a foreign country before.With Monique and his brother. Bring Sylvie and Melanie if they're down.

It's time to expand our social horizons. Find Monique and/or his brother. We'll win him over just like we did Marianne.>He'll hate us even more because we're so god damned nice.
>>28296318Make him jealous of our drawing prowess!
Wouldn't it be better to wait for day to explore the town? It's late.

>>28296380Maybe we can get that famous artist to sketch her.She'd be mortified.
>>28296360but Reinhold doesnt hate him, he just thinks he's rude.And maybe kind of a prick
>>28296218>>head to the battlements of the castle and sketch the viewby the dice gods will
>>28296383Not doing that now
>>28296218>>go find MoniqueI want to meet his brother.
>>28296389You mean the Marianne who would probably enjoy going out with everyone? God knows she doesn't want to spend time with the nobility in the castle.
>>28296389We kind of all made plans to spend the time and town with everyone already.
>>28296218>go hang out with Sir Gregory
>>28296383Fuck you and fuck your battlements, you just made that a deathtrap for us.Confirmed for going Monique hunting.
>>28296218>>go find MoniqueThat ass hat is probably doing something douche.
>>28296407And why would Rien want to find Monique?If you're going to metagame at least have a reason.
>>28296383Yeah, I'd rather not fall off the battlements and die.
>>28296218>>go find Monique
>>28296452He could want to meet the people Elena was talking to and not realize it's them until they turn around.
>>28296452We know how much of a douche he is and don't want him to cause any problems for the princess or we can set him straight using words/duel.
>>28296481When the decision is to clearly look for Monique that explanation doesn't really cut it.
>>28296218>go find Monique
>>28296452Well reinhold would probably give him a warning about trying to bother the girls and not to embarrass the princess or maybe just for a rematch.
>>28296452Well... for one, he's probably one of the few people who would actually be willing to spar with Reinhold
>>28296452Because people who aren't anti-social spiteful shits typically don't go out of their way to hold grudges again mild annoyances. We're going to be seeing him whether we like to or not until this event is over so at least get onto lukewarm terms with him.
>>28296396Do you usually actively seek to spend time with people you think are assholes?
MORE TREES.
>>28296510Haha, spar. Monique is going to rip Reinhold the Natural Oneder's ass apart.
>>28296511Mild annoyances? The last time we saw him, he kept challenging us to duels and basically telling us we were going to rue the day we kicked his ass.Why would we *Ever* want to spend time with him?
>>28296516Evidently everyone wants to go->teehee, this will be so funnah, lol1
>>28296530I wonder if Monique will hate Reinhold less if he wins the inevitable duel? I hope he does.
>>28296510Have we heard of his training journey? That alone might make it worth our while. We should try to at least convey that douchebaggery aside, we openly respect his skill. I don't remember how close the final match supposedly was. Do we actually respect his skill? And whatever happened to that one book on dueling etiquette we borrowed?
>>28296543He mentioned it to us. Unconfirmed on respect. We memorized it.
>>28296516Yes, since i know people who are complex and not have their personality revolve around an attitude.>>28296543We broke his sword so we couldn't truly judge his skills.
>>28296510Except there's always the other tourney winner, who isn't a dick.If we were looking for a spar we'd go find him.
>>28296557He said he's busy. Pay attention.
>>28296557She has to deal with personal thins.
>>28296552>"...so the mongrel fancies himself a gentleman now?" Monique says to you, laughing to mask his anger. "You may think highly of yourself now that you've stolen this position as the Princess's bodyguard from me, but I assure you..."Why would you ever want to hang out with a guy who talks to you like that? He fucking hates us and has made that abundantly clear. Not to mention every time we've seen him with ONE exception, he's been a complete douchenozzle.
>>28296557Carol is taking care of personal things. We could try and find Taki, though.
>>28296566I smile everytime we call her a her.
>>28296557Shes busy giving the prince oral.>>28296570Just to see what his problem is, i usually confront stuff instead of letting it fester.
>>28296564>>28296566>>28296583That was before dinner, which was some time ago.
>>28296583>Carol.>No, Karel.>...Carol.>No, Mister Reinhold, KAREL.>...CAROL.>Sweet merciful - KAREL!>I'M SORRY THE NUANCES OF YOUR NAME'S GENDER ARE BEYOND ME!
>>28296552I don't think you get it.Guy is an asshole to you. Regardless of whether he's soft and fuzzy at heart or some shit, the guy is an asshole to you. He has been an asshole to you every single time you've encountered him.Maybe he's nice to his friends. But why do we want to spend any time with him? Why not find someone who doesn't have a default attitude of "fuck you, peasant"?
>>28296601It could be true, for all we know honestly.which is better reverse trap or tomboy.
>>28296603We know what his problem is! He's a sore fucking loser! Which is why he kept screaming about how we stole the position from him, and how he could totally kick our ass this time!Are you literally retarded?
>>28296627Reverse trap.Everytime.
>>28296635Then lets shut him up and prove him wrong then?
>>28296623>? Why not find someone who doesn't have a default attitude of "fuck you, peasant"?Hahaha, good luck. We in noble privilege land.
>>28296621I think of Carol like Charlotte from Infinite Stratos.
>>28296655If by Charlote you mean Charles, before they bolted cow tits onto her.
>>28296360I only suggested it so we could antagonise the prick by being overly polite and definitely not flaunting the fact that princess lucienne confessed her adoration of usSeriously do you not see the fun in that?
>>28296649We have a title of princes guard so they won't say that to our faces.>>28296623I just want to get the bad blood over with since he truly thinks we cheated him, plus i want to try seeing how we fare against him.
>>28296621>The name Karel is a French baby name. In French the meaning of the name Karel is: Strong and masculine.
>>28296667I'd have to go back to the first season to be sure, but don't girls usually just bind 'em, regardless of size? Thought that's what she used to do.
>>28296649I doubt even half the people in the castle currently are nobles even given the ball.Plus we're the personal guard of the sole heir and a tournament winner, there is prestige to be had in beating us.
>>28296691You're only making it better for us.
>>28296667My only problem with Charles being a reverse trap was how huge her tits turned out to be.
>>28296691PfffftYou're fucking with us now.
>>28296667Huh did that happen? I only watched a few episodes from season 1.
>>28296691I actually knew that. Yay me!>>28296701This.
>>28296691So she picked a masculine name huh.
>>28296704Right?
>>28296691Evidently her parents wanted her to be a him.
>>28296717More like the French picked a girly name for it.
How soon until we ask Nicolette to wear gentleman's attire and we draw her?
>>28296741>How soon until we ask Nicolette to wear gentleman's attire and we draw her?She has been wearing that now for some tie, i want to see her in her new dress.
>>28296751She's been wearing armor and average street clothes, not proper gentleman wear.>Not sure if myself is serious.
>>28296751No kidding. To bad we can't develop a photo-realistic sketching spell or something. Bet she'd LOVE that!
>>28296774She probably is and even I don't want that. It's been hinted pretty hard.
>>28296774We're talking about reverse traps, not lesbians you dumb faggot. Go shit post somewhere else.
>>28296741A tight butler's uniform with her hair in a rakeish ponytail would be great...
>>28296785But it hasn't. At all.She did something funny as a child. /tg/ ran with the idea.
>>28296691Only it's not French. It's Dutch, Czech, or Slovene. The French form is Charles. I checked both Wikipedia and Behindthename
>>28296804This.
>>28296804What about the>Sylvie: "something something tell Reinhold about your pref-">Nic: "Stahp blush blush punch"Or her constantly blushing whenever anything with Luciana is concerned, when she hardly does that?
>>28296804There have been vague hints, but nothing with any substance to it.
>>28296741you mean like this?
>>28296836You have nothing you're embarrassed about and don't like being brought up?
>>28296844god yes please
>>28296836It's called "being embarrassed" and it's what happens when people keep bringing up stupid things you did when you were five.
>>28296890Is this from an anime?
>>28296912Shiki and white/black Len from the game Tsukihime.
>>28296859Plenty, but I actually keep it under the metaphorical rug where it belongs.>>28296892I did plenty of stupid shit when I was like eight or nine. Sure, I'd protest loudly, but not blush and swoon. Which is nearly what she does. It's kind of uncharacteristic for the usually foul-mouthed angry/stoic Nic.I'll admit I might be wrong but keep in mind people refused to believe Gregory was her dad. This is nearly as blatant.
>>28296912Fanart of an old VN that still has no anime adaptation.Maybe we'll get lucky in a few years. It'll be amazing.
>>28296859I don't, personally. Why succumb to imperfect character?
>>28296940>Maybe we'll get lucky in a few years.And maybe raisins grow on trees.
>>28296929It is nowhere near as blatantYou are just trying to make it blatant because YOU want it to happen
>>28296940http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQFPQo1cD7cthis?So is it any good?
>>28296940at least they are remaking itSatski will finally get a route
>>28296971>because YOU want it to happenOkay, anon, whatever you say.
>>28296988Theres nothing at that link, anon.
>>28296912Tsukihime / Melty Blood. Both are games.Tsukihime has no anime but we still have Carnival Phantasm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_XA15FnQME
>>28296988its a running joke with fans that the anime doesn't existthat's how bad it is, the only redeeming quality was the soundtrackgo download the game and play it insteadits by the same guys who did F/SNhttp://erogedownload.com/downloads/tsukihime/
>>28297023>>28297007I meant the games, or should i wait for the remake?
"Eh, I guess I'll go head up to the battlements or something and check out the view," you say. "I'll see you three tomorrow.""Try not to fall off," Nicolette teases. "The wind up there can get pretty bad."Ehehe, yes..." Melanie joins in. "Do be careful while you're up there.""Bye, Reinhold," Sylvie says to you. "I'd ask if I could join you, but I know you're probably tired of dealing with us all day..." she laughs nervously."Dammit Sylvie just make your move already and get over with it," Nicolette whispers."Sh- shut up, Nicolette!" Sylvie shisper-shouts back.You clearly didn't hear her say anything.Nothing at all, nope.>ask Sylvie to come along?
>>28297054Nah.
>>28297054[x] Can't deal with it. NOPE
>>28297054Pass on Sylvie.
>>28296929Nicolette hasn't been very stoic. In fact, the word I'd use to describe her off-duty self is rambunctious. She likes winding people up but can't take it well.As for Gregory, people were mostly against that because it was TOO obvious. They refused to accept that everything could resolve that simply, until it did.
>>28297054sure, why not
>>28297054Perhaps next time.
>>28297054Yes. Because best girl.
>>28297054Yes
>>28297054Why not
>>28296890why is white Ren so addorably tsun
>>28297054>Can't deal with
>>28297045The only anime that's come out of the Fate series I've not hated is Fate/Zero.>>28297054I have no qualms with Sylvie coming, though warn her that we'll be pretty boring company if we're drawing.
>>28297054Bail.
>>28297053Play the games and then wait for the remake's possibility of glorious Sacchin route and get pissed off about Arc's new miniskirt with the rest of us.A friend of mine's a total fanboy who plays through Arc's route every Christmas because it's her birthday anf he's THAT much of a fanboy.
>>28297054Sure.
>>28297054"Yeah. Make a move Sylvie."
>>28297054"It's up to you."
>>28297054Yes, because yes
>>28297054Not right now. With all the teasing today it wouldn't be right. Maybe tomorrow when things hopefully settle down?
>>28297054Too much women trouble in one day. No.
>>28297054Lets ask her to be nice, plus this is obviously a flag.
>>28297069True enough.I forgot the->Gregory: "I doubt you're interested, but if you were, you have my support."
>>28297054>Ignore, walk awayGotta get that Luc route.
>>28297054Nope.
>>28297085The last quarter of Fate/Zero was pretty bad except for Alexander and his mage. Those two were pure fucking gold whenever they were around.
>>28297054Sure
>>28297054No, its time to be alone (for however long it takes until we have a random encounter)
>>28297054No thanks, Sylvie.
>>28297054YesSylvie flag get
>>28297085what about Carnival Phantasm
>>28297054Can't deal with this right now. Need alone time.
>>28297054Yes.
>>28297054We must invite Sylvie because we're the nice guy.
>>28297088Will do then.Any guess on length?I'm planning on marathoning it since my math class teaches nothing tomorrow.
>>28297054>[x] would you like to come along Sylvie? Inspiration for sketching the landscape and we get to try adding a person into our landscape sketches!
>>28297054no
>>28297054>>28297085>I have no qualms with Sylvie coming, though warn her that we'll be pretty boring company if we're drawing.This seems about right.>>28297088>plays through Arc's route every Christmas because it's her birthdayOh wow.
>>28297054No, this is Alone Time. Girls aren't allowed in Alone Time.
>>28297054I want some alone time after all this shit. So nope.
>>28297054nope! gtfo
>>28297054Yar
>>28297054Nope
>>28297054M_Bison.gifYES
>>28297054YesSo any reason people are saying no?
>>28297088your friend has good tastes
>>28297053I'd say you should check it out. In my opinion the engine Tsukihime has is pretty slow, since it doesn't have any way to make the text go faster, but the story and the visual novel itself is still good. Afterwards, play Kagetsu Tohya since that has Len in it and it's a sequel.Melty Blood is good if you like fighting games, and it is personally my favorite one. It's pretty poverty though. I still wait for Melty Blood HD. ;_;
>>28297054No.
>>28297135If I were being objective I'd say it was probably good, but I did not like it personally.
>>28297054>ask Sylvie to come along?Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
>>28297184Because muh Luci route
>>28297054YES FINALLY
>>28297054sorry Sylvie, but its to early to trip that kind of flag
>>28297054Yes.It is time.
>>28297184Look at Rein's reaction to Lucinana's joke.
>>28297054YES
>>28297054Hahaha... No.
>>28297194Although, if you just want to read through it you can always read a let's play (http://lparchive.org/Tsukihime/).Not quite the same, but it does mean less clicking.
>>28297054No
>>28297054YES SYLVIE ROUTE
>>28297054Yes. >voting noYou guys are assholes.
>>28297219What reactions he has been cool like an ice cube.
>>28297165Make me sad but yeah, this.>Sorry Sylvie.
>>28297054Yes. Ask her.
>>28297184Why do you think? It's waifu war time.
I think we need that numbers thing again.
>>28297054I'm not tripping that flag. No.
>>28297184What this guy says->>28297219Too early, afraid of intamancy, need alone time, just wanted to sketch, etc. etc. etc.I find it amusing that this vote suddenly has a bajilion responses. Even moreso than any equipment, spell, or atunement bullshit.
>>28297054HELL YES
No. Not interested in her puppy eyed crush.
>>28297054>Yes if you want
>>28297054"Well if you want to join me I don't have any problem with that."
>>28297054That's a lot of replies, Arc. And I can't even tell which way it's going.Maybe a more formal vote is in order.
>>28297219He has been mostly shocked, not embarrassed.>>28297054You bet your fucking man ass.
>>28297054NOPE
>>28297054Yes"Beautiful night tonight, you could come along"
Holy shit where did all these people come from?
Nope nope nope
>>28297054If you want to come with I'm ok with it
>>28297265Part lurkers, part same fags.
>>28297054Sure why would we not
>>28297054Yes.>>28297265It's clearly a lot of samefags
>>28297265Mixture of lurkers and samefags
>>28297265It is safe to assume people cannot handle posting only once. That's easier to believe than all of the twitter followers suddenly jumping in.
>>28297265Samefags, son. "MY WAIFU IS THE BEST" faggots shitting on the thread.There are maybe eight serious votes and a bunch of samefags
>>28297265Samefagging. Duh.
>>28297265Samefags and lurkers who realize this vote might actually cause some relationship development.
>>28297275[waiting intensifies]
>>28297184It's not like she's going away. We want to do our own stuff.
>>28297265Lord have mercy son. This is probably one of those flag events or whatever your VNs call them nowadays. And I don't want no glasses.Possible lesbian all the way!
>>28297054>"Who the hell gets tired of their friends? I'm always up for company.">Give her the chance to decide for herself.
>>28297054Imma climb out of lurkerdom for this and vote yes.
>>28297054Yes, bring Sylvie
>Get up to go make microwaved rice>Come back>Suddenly 70+ unread repliesJesus.>>28297054We can bring her along. Not like we're locking in the Sylvie route or anything.I still want gay Reinhold.
...yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of samefaggotry afoot so I'm going to do a FINAL DESTINATION NO ITEMS FOX ONLY-style vote.Reply to THIS POST with nothing other than the number of your vote. All other votes will be ignored like that anime that never happened. Time limit is five minutes after this posts.>1: invite the sylvie>2: disregard megane, get artistic

>>28297054that is not how you spell marriane.no.
>>28297083>>28297523Pretty much.
>>28297522nope, unless proxies.
>>28297522Newfag pls.
>>28297522Pretty sure he did it that way to prevent samefagging.
>>28297522The whole point of the linked, single digit response is because you can't make duplicate posts.
>>28297522Except it wasn't, you can post duplicate replies within 5 minutes of each other. Now quit'cha butt hurtin'.
>>28297522I don't think you know how the spam filter works, anon.You cannot make identical posts within a 5 minute period. That's the point of this voting procedure.>blah blah muh proxies blah blah

Christ. 48 votes.I continue to be shocked at how many people are invested in my magical realm.Or the depths that someone will go just to samefag, but either one is pretty wut.
>>28297563>workwho's gonna reset their modem for this?
>>28297502Well, this is going to be a trainwreck. The quest was fun while it lasted.
>>28297563That mostly only works for the European channlers.
>>28297563There's another easy way to do it, but I'm not saying it.
>>28297563I'm a 2-fag and I think you need to calm the fuck down.
>tfw static IP>tfw cant easily samefag
Something like this would happen while my dorm is having a fire drill.
>>28297597I didn't make the post whining about samefags, I was just pointing out how easy it is to get around it.
>>28297586you usually get at least 30 up votes per thread on sup tg so its not that surprising.
I'd like to meet the man who puts the effort into evading the spam filter just to get his way in a quest
>>28297588Yeah I can't wait for the shitstorm
>>28297588Quit bitching. Just cause you didn't get your way doesn't mean the quest is ruined.
>>28297595Even if one person was doing it, they would easily add 12 votes to the tally.
>>28297588It'll just add another 300-500 posts of background noise to these otherwise enjoyable threads.
Basically? This is the best you can get out of voting, as far as 4chan goes. It relies on a basic spam filter combined with the fact that the vast majority of people will be too lazy to proxy vote or reset their modems.So, stop bitching.
>>28297563Most times it takes the router being off for some time before the IP reassigns, it takes my router at least 8 hours of being off for a new IP to be given.Even so this is the best method Arch has available for counting votes, if you've a better one feel free to suggest it man, the fairer the better really.
>>28297586seeing as you have 100 followers on twitters, it's not that weird
>>28297632>too lazyI think you underestimate the power of the waifufags
I think a lot of voters are just terrified of missing a sylvie flag and/or getting route locked.
>>28297630There is no fucking way half of one side is a single person samefagging. There are more people reading this quest than that.
>>28297630In five minutes?I don't think even the spergiest sperg would sperg that hard.
>>28297647Rin Tohsaka is my one and only waifu, Sylvie isn't worth getting worked up over.
>>28297636there is the survey website, but that can easily be bypassed since most proxies can be used for it.
>>28297626>>28297632This. I wasn't hoping for this result but it isn't going to be the end of the quest.>>28297636Back in the old days of dragon quest the OP would ask for email-based votes and ask for reasoning. This could potentially be more accurate but take more time and effort. Again, no big deal though.
>>28297680>Not waifuing the meidosMeido is best waifu
Yeah, but who would go through all the effort of resetting one's router or proxying just to samefag on this?No, I'm serious, all "this is 4chan" jokes aside. Who would? Am I right?...right?
>>28297644So far the only waifufags seem to be the ones trying to stop the vote because "on may base my choice is losing!!11"Deal with it, sometimes we win sometimes we lose this time it seems sylvie has got it and really I don't mind, she has had too little screen time lately even though I am firmly in the Marie camp
>>28297696Why are we not drawing Marconetti maids RIGHT NOW
>>28297696you don't waifu the meidos, you rape them.or genuflect, either one works.
>>28297712Because we can draw BEST GIRL.
>>28297684>I wasn't hoping for this result but it isn't going to be the end of the quest.What will be the end of the quest is the endless shitflinging and arguments that this is the impetus for.
>>28297712Because maids are always the WORST choice.
From a practical standpoint, having someone able to cast a flying spell might be a good idea on the windy battlement.
>>28297703You'd be surprised how far one man would go for his waifu, but you are most likely right.
>>28297707Good man.
I'm of the opinion that all girls are best girls,though i understand that I'm in the minority here. Why can't we all be friends?
>>28297721But why would you do that?
>>28297757because i am cheering for takamaru route.
>>28297731Ayup. Believe it or not, fellas, going out for a walk with a girl doesn't mean you're honor-bound to slap a ring on her finger or anything, alright? Just roll with it; it's neither the end of the world nor the end of the quest.
>>28297757Because arch said no harem route. Sad but true.
>>28297757Because there's no harem end.>gatchpa: marry miulthyDammit, not you too, gatchpa.
>>28297707This, i have been advocating for both lewd mage and tomboy since the start and i don't mind that the tomboy is losing her chances and is going into the same ditch the maid route is.
>>28297773One girl with all the others as friends is close enough to a harem route.
>>28297769Honestly, I think Sylvie needs a break from them as much as we do.
>>28297769Okay? That doesn't really address my point at all.
>>28297707Gonna be odd though.Rein purposely pushed Luciana's 'joke' confession to the back of his mind.And then went 'NOPE, NOT HEARING THIS' at the girl's conversation.The battlements is going to be possibly quite awkward. Like hes forcing himself to invite her.
>>28297780Meido has always been sensible and reliable. She shall always have a special place in our heart for this.
>>28297766http://www.lurkmore.com/wiki/Tsukihimeread.
>>28297776>>28297773I didn't mean it by way of harem route, though rereading what i wrote i can see that i was unclear about it. I just meant why can't we be happy with who ever Reinhold ends up with?
>>28297813Man, I haven't heard that joke in so long I'd forgotten about it.
>>28297822I don't what Reinhold to end up with anyone.
Jesus christ. I just woke up, figured I'd take a look at PGQ before getting ready for workWhat the flying fuck is wrong with you people?
>>28297773no. he said that either the girls or the fathers would kill us and that it would be incredibly hard. Challenge accepted.>capcha: yacare Wallachiahm... Capcha is telling me something about Sir Gregory...
>>28297800See I think he pushed her confession to the back because he thinks it is just that a jokeAnd well he has always sort of gone NOPE CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALA at some of their conversations whether to not join in the teasing or just because he doesn't know how to handle it
>>28297822Because I am unable to see Reinhold as a collaborative character and must self-insert myself into his shoes and fight for my waifu.
>>28297822I'm pretty sure people fighting needlessly over their preferred girl is a universal constant. Take that and put it in quest format and this is what you get.
>>28297866Muh waifu
>>28297838this.he will be like GUTS.forever an adventurer!
>>28297866explain?
>>28297807I still think we should have spewed our heart out to her after the dance incident.
>>28297822because in this quest we are the mc and we constantly argue with our psyche who we want to hold hands withwe will go insane
>>28297890Too late.Marianne has claimed Reinhold's virgin hands.
>>28297866The waifu wars have come to /tg/ once more, anon.It's still not as bad as Psion Quest. You weren't there, man, YOU WEREN'T THERE!
>>28297866Some of us are desperately afraid of being alone with Sylvie.Some of us really want to be alone with Sylvie.These two groups are very vocal.The rest of us think it's normal to hang out with a friend.
>>28297890>implying Rein isn't already insane and we aren't just fractured bits and pieces of his psyche
>>28297868No harem route.Ever.
>>28297921You should just start putting it in the opening post.
>>28297874>See I think he pushed her confession to the back because he thinks it is just that a jokeI'm pretty sure he DOESN'T see it as a joke, but also recognizes that Luciana understands that her being able to choose her own suitor is a pipe dream, so it's completely irrelevant either way.
>>28297921is it still considered a harem if Reinhold ends up with two girls?1.Wife2.Mistress
>>28297917 what if nothing was real except spinelle what if we were still young and her plaything, just dreaming of this
>>28297950This is something better left to your fanfiction.
>>28297921>make a bunch of great waifus>get mad about haremfags
>>28297874So Reinhold is this guy now?
>>28297962st. elsewhere pls go
>>28297969It should stop or limit the harem fags a bit if they were given a 2 person limit.
>>28297981Sad as it is, romantically, he appears to be.
>>28297981I know what I'm voting for when one of them gets the guts to confess.
>>28297950Just wait for the VN adaptation and the subsequent hyperlewd doujinshi that will follow soon after.
>>28298000but it could also be misconstrued as compromise.Choices, choices...
>>28297981well atleast he is not the cliche dense protag.he mentioned that he know sylvie has some kind of crush on him.
>>28297889I'd voted for that, but SWORD got in the way. Kinda like ART almost did for me.
>>28298000No.
>>28297023>Wonder to myself what Carnival Phantasm is>Go to watch first episodeHoly shit I love this.
>>28297981You lost me, can anyone explain/
>>28297054Sylvie if you're not in a rush or anything could I sketch you on the battlements some time?
>>28298008some one already did.flat out.in front of her rivals faces.
>>28298048it's like COMEDY!Type Moon Wars: The Anime
>>28298048It's like Puchimas for Fate fans.
>>28298060And proceeded to get completely ignored in that regard.
>>28298048WOA-OH WOA-OH, WOA-OH YEA YEA
>>28298060Luciana doesn't count, she's Not An Option in her own mind or anyone else's.
>>28298008Please, let's not go with whoever confesses first unless Luciana counts, cause let's totally go with her
>>28298098You son of a bitch now I have to go watch it again for the billionth time. Thanks.
>>28298074>FRIENDMAKER!
>>28298098Fuck you, now i have to go listen to the OP again.
>>28293544>Chasing after the shadow of your deceased master... training day and night, regardless of any material gains... Mr. Reinhold, I do believe that's what they call 'a man's romance,oh god. luciana. i love you.
>>28297921It's just about the only way to avoid /tg/ being indecisive due to everyone waifuing someone different.
>>28298098>>28298118>>28298147So how much will be lost on me if i have never played a type moon game?
>>28298188Everything.
>>28298185Or waifuing nobody/sword, which still feels like the true end to me.
>>28298188Just about every other joke and every single reference.
>>28296691So it's kind of a perfect complement to Monique?I can ship it.jpg>twotraps.jpg
>>28298188100%
"If you want to come along, I honestly wouldn't mind," you say, shrugging. "No pressure or anything if you don't want to, though.""N- no, that's okay-" Sylvie stammers. "I'm fine with-BWAAH!" she shouts as Nicolette suddenly pushes her forwards."She wants to come with you," Nicolette says, sighing. "She REALLY wants to, but she's an idiot and doesn't want to impose even though you clearly don't care."N- Nicolette!" Sylvie squeaks. "D- don't presume to-""Me and Melanie are going to go wander around now so you two have fun.""H- hey, wait-" she calls back, but Nicolette's already pulling Melanie along with her down the hall."Have fun, you two!" Melanie waves goodbye.Completely defeated, Sylvie slumps over for a few seconds and mumbles something that you can't make out at all before doing the longest sigh you've ever seen and standing back upright. She then starts to walk back to her room, but then stops and sighs yet again before finally turning around and approaching you."I never would have thought that I was actually dumber than Nicolette about this kind of thing..." Sylvie mumbles, "...sorry for wasting your time with my being stupid, let's go.""Uh, sure," you reply.As the two of you start down the hallway, it suddenly comes to mind that you don't actually know how to get to the battlements... but it's the roof and that means the stairs that go UP so you decide to just wing it.>talk to Sylvie about something as you explore?
>>28298202Sword end is more like the bad end that happens when you haven't tripped enough flags for any of the heroines.
>>28298142> Grail-kun, grail-kun!> What is it, Archelon-kun?> my players keep trying to go for a harem route! I keep telling them, but they dont listen!>Gosh, you're hopeless, Archelon-kun! >A knife stabs into the floor> BAD-ENDER!!!> If they cant pick just one, they dont get any.
>>28298048Nah man, go watch the Fate/Stay Night anime adaptation. It's the best one.I'm totally not lying.
>>28298217Keep Quiet
>>28298217Using Earth/Metal magic, can we (eventually) MAKE battlements?
>>28298231No, it's the good end that happens if you trip flags with all the heroines and don't become a doting husband to any of them. Being single isn't inherently bad, you know.
>>28298188It'd still be funny, but more for slapstick and absurdist purposes than parody value.My recommendation: Watch Fate/Zero, read the Let's Play of Tsukihime, then watch Carnival Phantasm. You'll miss the most obscure references, but so did everyone else.
>>28298231Those aren't always too bad. I actually liked the one in Katawa Shoujo. Y'know. Until the VERY end.
>>28298217Just keep quiet.
>>28298217There is, in fact, nothing I can think of to make this less awkward.
>>28298217talk to her about spells she thinks it would be useful for us to learn
>>28298231At least it isn't MANLY PICNIC, in that it involves us surviving, but yeah I agree.
>>28298217Explore in silence.
>>28298217Talk about magic and any new spells.
>>28298217I got nothing so I guess stew in the awkward silence?
>>28298217>>talk to Sylvie about something as you explore?>"So how about them battlements. Ahuh, yep. I'm pretty sure we need to find some stairs. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... etc."
>>28298244Sarcasm doesn't translate too well to text anon. You could have just mistakenly steered some poor soul towards that pile of shit.
>>28298217Just keep to ourselves.
>>28298242
>>28298217go in silence
>>28298217Ask whether she has enjoyed teaching us magic. Teaching can be painful for some folks, and we basically begged her into doing it.
>>28298217I think an awkward silence would be fitting honestly, I can't see him being able to break the silence.
>>28298217Voting this:>>28298272Also, tease Sylvie lightly by asking if there are any love spells she can teach you.
>>28298217Kinda wanna go around making pretty lights. But those stay put right? Might confuse people. But we gotta keep doing those MP exercises. We don't do nothin' half-assed! 'cept romance.
>>28298217might as well dick a little with magic.we all enjoy some extra light, right?
>>28298291The spoiler'd "totally not lying" is very obviously sarcasm.
>>28298188Play Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. They're both good, anyway.
>>28298217awkward silence, commence.
>>28298217Stay silent.
>>28298217Talk about visiting foreign countries and adventures and shit. Seriously talking to girls is not that hard.
>>28298217>"So...how about that ride in huh?"Or some other generic, but effective, icebreaker.
>>28298217Talk about magic, or punching! Or how to cast "_____ Wing" since we're going to a decently high place anyway.>Captcha: shouted tesla...whatever you say, Tesla-san.
>>28298217Ask her how she likes it here, if she's been here before.
>>28298334>if you like molluscs
>>28298217Talk about how impressive her Bear-punching was.
>>28298217Magic. Or punching. Or magic punching. Or random smalltalk about being in a foreign country.Really just anything to break the silence.
>>28298217>"So... think I could convince you to let me sketch you for a bit?"capcha: fifteen typicit
>>28298362Is everyone voting "stay silent" becouse they cant think of anything and don't want to wait for other people to make suggestions?>>28298319this would be acceptable
>>28298389Man, I wish we'd get a new Translation, Takajun didn't do a good job at all.
>>28298260Yes it is, unless you have a reliable, state-regulated social security system, and even then it can get rather bothersome.Unless you plan to commit sudoku. Plenty of sudokus.
>>28298446They're probably mad Sylvie's here and are sabotaging the vote.
>>28298387Seconding this!
>>28298446>Is everyone voting "stay silent" because they cant think of anything and don't want to wait for other people to make suggestions?Yes. Or because they don't want Sylvie route and want to make it awkward. Or because they don't care about routes but just think it fits the character/scene best. Which, personally, I agree with.
>>28298453new game new translationsgive it a few hundred years if its going to be translated at the same speed as F/HA
>>28298446I think most of the "stay silent" guys are the ones who didn't want to bring Sylvie along in first place.(probably because they want her to go out with Matthias instead)
>>28298453Come now, it's a perfectly respectable translation. Just because it lacks nuance, subtlety, metaphor and coherence doesn't mean it's bad!Wait yes it does.
>>28298468I voted to stay silent because I thought it fit the scene, given what had happened immediately prior. Not everyone is just out to spite Sylvie fans, anon.
>>28298453It's just faster to learn moon runes anon. Otherwise you will be waiting forever.
>>28298490Who the buttocks is Matthias?
>>28298486Tsukihime is being remade at F/HA TL speed, so we'll never see a TL for it if it does come out.And even if it does no doubt the new TL guys will reuse a lot of Taka's script if they can.
>>28298519Monique's NEET brother.
>>28298514Is it hard to learn moon?
>>28298389yup, i agree. ask her how she likes it here and or if she's been here before.
>>28298513The spaghetti has to stop at some time, Anon. Reinhold isn't even that awkward, just new.Don't wet blanket the 'Hold bro.
>>28296691The Scorpion King.
>>28298542Harder than learning an Indo-European language. Easier than learning the secret of immortality.
>>28298540Oh.Man the amount of characters in this is getting difficult for me to keep track of.So they want her to get together with someone she's never met and likely has absolutely nothing in common with given he has no motivation to do anything and Sylvie's the opposite of that.That's some solid thinking going on there.
>>28298542depends how much discipline you've gotthen again i already know Chinese and that kind of helped
>>28298446If Sylvie replies that she doesn't know any love spells, we could reply with a stinger:>"Because if you knew any, you'd have used them by now?"
>>28298568Immortality's only hard if you go by the fleshy body route.Otherwise it's a slice of cake.
>>28298486I'll totally translate the new game when it comes out.People say that they like my work, after all...hahahahaha fuck no I don't have the time to translate when I'm writing this during al of my free time
>>28298568Listening to moon is by far easier than reading moon, though.
>>28298319Its one thing for her best friend to tease her. If we tease her it would just be cruel.
>>28298609PGQ OR NEW TSUKIHIME TRANSLATIONCHOOSE WISELY /tg/!
>>28298568I'd disagree there, I'd say non-tonal Asian languages are easier than Mesopotamian/descendants (ie, Arabic, Swahili, Farsi...)
>>28298587Well I have free time out the wazoo and decent discipline so I guess I'll give it a shot then.
talking about magic would be too much like "talking shop">>28298289>>28298319>>28298362>>28298409>>28298442>>28298544All reasonable responses. I like waiting to see what other people suggest before throwing in my vote.
>>28298609How are you coming on making this into a VN by the way?Seems like the easiest way would be to punch this stuff into Ren'Py as you write it.
>>28298628PGQ, natch.
>>28298633PGQ all the way.
>>28298576>So they want her to get together with someone they might identify with, being the socially inept neckbeard on his way to wizardryFTFYI wouldn't mind tbh. But I'd rather allow that develop organically than going out of my way to bring it about
>>28298568Japanese isn't so much hard as alien. If you know Chinese you're halfway there. Six months of immersion and you'll be amazed at what you know.Learn the verb conjugation trick (a i u e o), the difference between type I and type II verbs, and -te form and all you need is vocabulary.You'll probably be screwed on kanji though. Moonrune is aptly named.
>>28298633go use /a/'s Daily Japanese Threads if you're going to learn it by yourselfbut in the end its still best to go to a class and learnfirst year is filled with weaboos if you go to a shitty place but if you don't its filled with Asians like me who mostly already know the language or people who hide their power levels
>>28298641Not even thinking about starting on it for a good long while.But it'll probably happen at some point because I'm an idiot.I seriously had a fucking dream last night where I did a kickstarter in order to make a full retail version of this thing, what the hell have you all done to me
>>28298641Wait he is turning this into a VN?
>>28298703Sever your relationship with this site before it's too late.
>>28298629>ArabicThat's Afro-asiatic.>SwahiliThat's Bantu.
>>28298703Was the $1 million stretch goal a Takamaru route?
>>28298703so these blood rituals are working
>>28298660Oh right.This is tg.How silly of me.
>>28298703>Not even thinking about starting on it for a good long while.It'll be less work if you do the quest's route as you go along.
>>28298703I'd throw my money at it.

>>28298703You brought it upon yourself

>>28298703I'd fun it.
>>28298696Thanks for the advice. I need to schedule my classes for next semester so I guess I'll look into it tomorrow.

>>28298831I know, that's exactly why I'm a prinny dood!
>>28298703I'd pay for it as long as there's an unlockable harem route.
>>28298872I'd pay for it as long as there's an unlockable Takamaru route.
>>2829887210k backer tier only
>>28298872You have to beat the game with every girl first, unlocking the Luciana route. After beating it again on the Luciana route, you unlock the harem route where Luciana helps you get into every girl's pants at once.
>>28298872 stretch goal 250k harem route. "Fuck you guys I said this would never happen let's see you manage this >it makes it Talk about totally awesome bear punching, king wrangling and check on our doom crystal bracelet
"So, battlements..." you say as you walk. "Would it be possible to actually make my own using magic?" you ask, trying to break the silence."Hm?" Sylvie mumbles as your words pull her back into the real world. "Making... yeah, I guess. You'd probably need to make an entire castle first, though..." she starts laughing nervously. "That'd take more magical evergy than anyone I know has aside from my father, though...""His reserves are that large?" you ask. "Then again, you said before that you had like ten times the base of normal people...""Ehehe, yeah..." Sylvie smiles. "Daddy's fight with Mr. Niklaus was actually decided when he outlasted him. Daddy was still ready to go, but Nr. Niklaus was completely tapped out..." she laughs. "And Uncle Thierri says that he's never actually seen him anywhere close to his limit.""...damn," you say, wondering if it's even possible to get to Vincent's seemingly insane level one day.As the two of you head up a long staircase, you think that you've finally reached the roof but the door is locked. With an annoyed grumble, you head back down and try to find another route.>[1/?]
>>28298831Though if there isn't a route where we take Elena as an adorable shoulder loli whilst teaching her the ways of the sword, I'd be quite sad.
>>28298907That would be magnificent.
>>28298907This includes Ariane, Sylvie's mother, Elena, Carol, Luciana's mother and Monique's mother
Hey.Listen.Let's waylay a servant and ask directions.
>>28298923Sylvie route closed!due to scary father-in-law.
>>28298923"Magic the lock Sylvie!""Kay Boss!"-Punch-
>>28298964That closes off everyone except Marianne, oddly enough. And possibly Melanie.
>>28298958No stealing other people's waifus. We will have enough ara-ing when the girls become mothers.
>>28298964I think you mean BEST father in law
>>28298974They wanted the harem route, they get the harem routeIt involves all females, no brakes final destination
>>28298973Hasn't it been suggested that Arnaud is Melanie's (grand)father?
>>28298988I'm still down.
>>28298964I don't think you understand. Vincent's the only father-in-law that could give us OUR VERY OWN CASTLE like it was nothing.
>>28298996Arnaud would be several generation's removed. He's at least 90, since he was older than Thierri when they were adventuring adventures.
>>28298973>Aquaman>Not fucking terrifying how do you become king in a kingdom of badasses?
>>28299004We'd need to get the land from Thierri first. And to live somewhere other than the Palace, we'd need to give up our job.By that point we'll probably be strong enough to make our own castle, it'd just be one piece at a time rather than all at once.
>>28298974Citrine and Michi are tied for my favorite.>I will never have a chance to steer PGQ toward my waifu of choice, because they're already off the tableIt feels bad, Arc.
>>28299014By apparently being the biggest baddasses best friendSeriously Vincent > Thierri is what everything has implied so far
>>28299014By inheriting it.
>>28299034>Citrine and Michi are tied for my favorite.WHY?
>>28299035Vincent is more terrifying on age alone. But what does that mean exactly?He's still a terrifying giant in the land of titans. Even if one of them could totally beat him
>>28298628tsukihime
>>28298923>try to find another route
When are we going to meet Thierri's brother? He must be the biggest badass short of a dragon or elemental spirit by now.those sweet royal genes + decades of adventuring = ???
>>28298831i could help you with the art.though i only do scenery/backgrounds.
>>28299122He might have morphed into a water elemental by now.
>>28298923"Sorry for eating up so much of your time..." you sigh as you start down another hallway. "...I know that not everyone actually likes teaching others, and I kind of begged you to tutor me in magic," you say guiltily."Eh!?" Sylvie stammers. "D- don't think that, I love being able to sp- I mean, I really like being able to show someone else how great magic is! And since Nicolette and Marianne aren't really interested, it's not like I have anyone else my own age to talk about it with.""Are you sure? I mean, it clearly takes you a massive amount of effort to..." you begin, but are cut off."I mean it, I really enjoy teaching you," Sylvie says, desperately trying to convince you. "Why do you think I put so much effort into it in the first place?""Heh, I guess you have a point there...""S- so never ever think you're bugging me, okay?" she says, blushing. "I, um- I really like hanging out with you and I actua- never mind," she covers her mouth with her hands mid-sentence as if manually forcing herself not to finish that sentence.Another staircase, another dud... this one seems to lead to a storage closet. Back down the stairs you go.>[2/?]
>>28299170>and I actua-Use your words Sylvie, use your words!
why not explore what's in the storage closet at the top of the tower together with Sylvie? It sure ain't servant supplies.
>>28299170Christ, she's not hiding her crush very well when she doesn't have Nico around to redirect onto, is she?
>>28299170>this one seems to lead to a storage closet. >Back down the stairs you go.I suspect Sylvie is highly disappointed with Reinhold's choice of actions upon stumbling across a storage closet.
>>28299170Just make out with her in the storage closet Rienhold. What's the worst that could come of it?
>>28299170Poor Sylvie. She is crushing so hard, but Princess route is the only true route.
>>28299170It's like we're being hit in the face with her affections.A full blown confession is coming. Maybe not this thread, maybe not next. But it is coming.
>>28299170Oh hey, my suggestion of asking about teaching made it in, even if it wasn't a popularly voted option.YAY.
>>28299215I'll bet. She needs somewhere to hide all the spaghetti she is dropping.
>>28299170eh.
>>28299170That's good, I like spending time with you too Sylvie, I never really had any friends growing up and after that in the military it wasnt quite the same since we were soldiers firstEntering that tournament has been the best thing I ever did really
>>28299233As long as Sylvie doesn't cry in front of Reinhold, I'm okay with anything.Don't disappoint me, Sylvie. Bottle up those tears.
>>28299234Ugh. I really don't want to deal with that. Especially since she started crushing practically the day after we met her. Sylvie route just feels so effortless and shallow.
Why was my first thought "look for narnia" in a literal sense. What the hell is wrong with me?
>>28299283Ah, to think. If it weren't for Vincent, we could freely get our dick wet and move on to more satisfying conquests.
>>28299283Ever thought she's crushing specifically because of the choices we've made, even if we haven't intentionally been going for that effect?Same process as deliberately going for a girl, except without all the "am I doing it right" angst.
>>28299233Tis a sad thing. But we'll let her off easy. Maybe with a small kiss, yes?
>>28299233Fuck that shit.
>>28299296All we really did was ask her to teach us magic and make a few jokes. Then all of a sudden Nico is constantly teasing her about her crush. It came out of nowhere.
>>28299314She has more reason to like him than Luciana. Yet here we are.
>>28299234A Storms A Comin
I can't believe you guys are gonna friendzone Sylvie.I mean, she's a mage who casts FIST! FIST!
>>28299314From our perspective.We made specific dialogue choices, made specific action choices, and chose to go to *her*, specifically, instead of all the other hilariously powerful and experience magic users in the Castle for lessons.Every action has a consequence, and most don't have a big neon [Sylvie Points +1] popup every time they have an effect.
>>28299336Get used to it. I like her a lot too, but you'll feel a lot less bad when it happens if you're open to the idea.
>>28299336Shut up. I am so sick of hearing that. That is the stupidest fucking reason to think a girl is some kind of soul mate. This is exactly why I said the Sylvie route feels shallow
In character Reinhold probably knows about how she feels but doesn't think some kid from a brothel is good enough for nobility. He probably thinks it's just a phase and she will find someone better, like a knight or a prince to end up with.
>>28299348But the Princess sucks. Still, this is what I get for lurking...
>>28299296/tg/ is pretty good at stringing girls along. It makes the ensuing heartbreak so much sweeter.
>>28299303Having been there I can assure you, going down that route will only make it worse.
>>28299337There is a lot more reasons for Nico or Marie to like him over Sylvie, even if you want to include subtle point gains.
>>28299314Consider that she's probably spent more time with us in the last month than any boy her own age and that we enjoy her company, it's not hard for a girl that age to fall for a guy and it's not like Rein's unattractive.
>>28299337First magical spellcaster in our face.Also the best suited seeing as shes not a Key Appointment Holder and closer in skill level compared to the others.
>>28299376>the Princess sucksAnd you can go right the fuck back to lurking.
>>28299337I'm trying really hard not to picture Sylvie as Stein. Goddammit Niklaus.The VN needs to have a gag gallery where all our shitposting is on full display. Reinmaru, Karique, Sylthias, Alternate Luciana, Nat 1s that weren't, all that fun shit.
Shitstorm sighted on the horizon.It's approaching fast.
>>28299170bitches and whores man.
>>28299357I like shy girls in general. Especially shy girls that open up like she has to Nicolette. The moments when her true personality shines through the crush are the best.... Which means I'll probably like her more if she's friendzoned.
Fuck, I'm so conflicted right now.I've been pushing for ignorant / asexual Reinhold for ages, but seeing as Reinhold is now more or less completely aware of her feelings I don't think he would just stay passive and wait for her to make a move.Either try to let her down gently or try to let her inn. I still don't think Reinhold is ready for any sort of proper relationship.
>>28299421I am not prepared.
>>28299336who the fuck cares!
>>28299421Pls no I like this quest.
>>28299430Yeah. I like Sylvie alright, she's cute, but I honestly don't feel like there's much of a relationship there. Both Nico and Marie have some pretty serious personal goals or issues that relate to or involve Reinhold and they feel like much better choices.
>>28299416You don't have to be so rude about it, there's been whole threads of bashing the shallow little girl who is teaching us magic.The main reason I've been against the Princess is you don't mix work and play, but OH WAIT Princess is a Tsundere/Ice Queen! At least Arch has made awesome characterisations for all the girls, not just one.
>>28299376FAA pls
>>28299400>>28299394Yeah, but that's *OUR* perspective.Sylvie is shy, her best friend teases her and her cousin intentionally distances herself. Her dad is the Ur-magician, everyone else in the castle is powerful as hell magically, and she's only just started learning, even if people say she's gifted.Then along comes a genuinely friendly, handsome, strong guy who specifically comes and asks *her* to teach him everything she knows about magic as though she's some elemental goddess, and then risks ticking off The Bloody Mist to *Bake her a Fucking Cake* and tries his damnedest to help her reconcile with her best friends.From your average teenage girl's perspective, this is like a goddamn Edward Cullen-tier wet dream fantasy come to life. For a shy one with possible self-esteem issues like Sylvie, well. You get the picture.Of course she damn well likes us.
>>28299442I agree. It's pretty goddamn mean to NOT say something at this point.
>>28299459have we even asked Sylvie what her goals are
>>28299475/tg/ is either not good at considering the effects of social interaction, or surprisingly cruel.
>>28299442say we're gay that oughta solve the problem.
>>28299475This was why I was supporting Sylvie, only in less words.
>>28299475>and then risks ticking off The Bloody Mist to *Bake her a Fucking Cake* and tries his damnedest to help her reconcile with her best friends.I think you're forgetting the part where we gave the cake to Marie and comforted her when she was crying, called Marie by a pet name directly in front of her, and then ditched her magic lessons to read the book we got from Marie all on that same day. Not only that but we played up Guillame's cake over ours instead of offering it to her.Not only that, but you're overblowing shit in general.
>>28299459Whoa whoa, I didn't say I didn't think there was a relationship there. Not all relationships have to be DEEP and MEANINGFUL.Also >>28299503
>>28299480Yeah, we should really try to break it to her politely that it's probably not happening.But since this is a life run by committee, we're instead going to string her along forever being untenably indecisive.
>>28299475>and then risks ticking off The Bloody Mist to *Bake her a Fucking Cake* and tries his damnedest to help her reconcile with her best friends.This last bit is was not just for slyvie. For whom the cake for is in some doubt. What is SURE is that the cake was for the party and ultimately, the party was for Marianne's benefit. Congratulating Slyvie was really a convenient excuse that came about for MARIANNE to reconcile with HER friends.
>>28299503Yeah. She wants to be a mage like her dad.
>>28299506Mostly the latter. It's why we're here.
>>28299508>Lying to a good friend that has feelings for you>Specifically telling her that you'd rather do a man than herHa.
>>28299526Why does she want to be a mage like her dad? What does her dad even do for a living?
>>28299513I think you're failing to realize the ability of teenage girls to see things in a rosy light when their heart is involved•
>>28299543He's independently wealthy, as a retired adventurer.Might also get a stipend from the king.
Whoever wins, there's going to be a massive shitstorm.Be ready for that Arch.That said, poor Sylvie. Unless the Sylvie fags will move mountains to samefag again like they did in this thread.
>>28299540i know. great plan right? solves the problem completely.
>This threadIt hurts being a Nicofag. >No wufu to have toe-to-toe deathmatches against
>>28299508this.it's really not far from the truth.
>>28299543Vincent lives for a living.
>>28299575I think the votes were a combo of Sylvie fags and people just being a friend.
>>28299577It's okay, anon. My waifu won't win, either.
>>28299577... Is that Nico herself?
>>28299577i was kinda rooting for her until she was giving off lesbo vibes.a lesbo bro is quite awesome too you know.
>>28299170"Sorry about the constant dead ends," you apologize."That's okay, just walking around like this is fun too," Sylvie says cheerily.Great, she's not freaking out anymore!"Since you said that it doesn't bug you if I asked and all," you begin, "what kind of spells do you think I ought to know?""Ummm..." Sylvie mumbles as she appears to start counting something on her fingers, "...you started learning kind of weird, so a lot of the basics like Iluminate and Enshroud and Heat Up kind of got left behind... Those may not be directly useful in the short-run, but they're the kind of things that are pretty handy when you need them.""As far as stuff that'd be specifically useful for your job, um... you have Holy Shine for a defensive spell, maybe something like Shade Guard would be useful too. And I don't think you know any attack spells, right?" Sylvie asks."No the only spells I know are the ones you taught me," you reply."Ehehe, now I'm starting to feel kind of guilty..." she laughs. "I guess stuff like Arctic Blade and Fireball would be good for you. My father's punching spells don't work with a sword at all though, so those are kind of out of the question.""But, umm... yeah," Sylvie says as she adjusts her glasses. "if you have anything like that you want to know about, just ask me and I'll look it up for you if you want. And again, it's seriously no problem at all for me to do so don't think you're imposing or anything.""I'll keep that in mind, you reply."finding yet another stairwell leading upwards, the two of you take it. turning the knon of the door you find at its top, it opens to reveal......the night sky!>[3/?]
>>28299577She has her love.Love her by supporting her love.
>>28299526Muscle Wizardess?Given her yandere tendencies, her choice of career path is actually pretty intimidating, but I really think she's pretty good match for Reinhold. She's like polar opposite of Spinelle.

>>28299577Yes, indeed. Still, it would be quite satisfying to find out that she was crushing on us.
>>28299605I disagree, mainly because those are both qualities all the girls have.
>>28299599Oh boy here we go...
I think Reinhold is still too traumatised subconsciously to start a relationship, and to some extent he is aware of this, just consider his responses in this thread to romantic suggestions. However, we must determine who is he most likely to have fallen for already, from a strictly RP perspective, because the tension is reaching critical levels and we are increasingly likely to end up in a situation where we have to choose.So I recommend that the shipfags go and masturbate while the RP people discuss the issue.

Archive when?
>>28299636Anon, s-stop. You're making me waaant iiiittt.
>>28299627I'm sure we'll have a chance to catch up with him as well. For now we have Carol for male (>implying) bromance.Maybe Arch doesn't want us to meet him too soon so that we don't get chance to witness the eastern techniques, allowing Monique to surprise and obliterate us with them?
>>28299645He'll never get past his trauma if he doesn't try. Horribly awkward "relationship" go!
>>28299645I'd say Marianne. He goes way out of his way for her compared to every other girl and has even hugged her and bought presents for her. It's probably partially the similiarities in their issues but he's really just too damn relentlessly nice to her.
What summary should I use for the archive?

At the pacing that PGQ goes, it would take more threads than most quests see in their lifetime to treat the issue as it deserves. It's more reasonable and better for the quest if he's basically over it already.

>>28299645It's reaching critical levels OOC, but in character I don't think it's at a level we're he's developed feelings for one girl any more than another. I think he's just really confused romantically and doesn't know how to properly address his feelings so he just bottles it all up.Although I can easily see that bottle breaking when someone confesses to him, from there it's all just tumbling down for his psych and I have no idea if he would accept a confession, politely decline for now or just outright say no.

>>28299599>[4/4]The stars in the sky combined with the close-to-full moon and the light reflecting off the planet's rings make for quite the lovely sight. You -almost- wish you could go up there and fly around yourself to get a closer view, but that's just silly."Oh wow..." Sylvie says. "...it's been a while since I was this high up at night...""The closest I've gotten to this is when I had guard duty back in the army, and I didn't really have the opportunity to just appreciate the view lik this," you reply.As the two of you walk onto the roof proper, you hear footsteps approaching."Hey, what are you kids doing up here!?" a guard shouts."Er- we were just-" you begin to say, but Sylvie cuts you off."I'm Sylvie Roseline Granache and this is Reinhold. We're guests of King Celestino, and personal friends of Princess Luciana... she told us that we were free to roam the castle as we pleased, but were we incorrect in that assumption?" Sylvie says in an extremely formal tone."Granache- oh crap, that is right..." the guard says under his breath. "The King's brother-in-law and his group... er, sorry for bothering you, miss," the guard bows. "We just need to be careful seeing as how there's a lot of outsiders here in the castle for the next few days. I'll be over there if you need anything, so don't mind me..."As the guard heads off to a far-off corner of the castle wall in order to give the two of you some space, Sylvie cracks her knuckles."Aah..." Sylvie sighs. "...I hate getting all formal like that, it doesn't agree with me at all.">what do you say?
>>28299636This seem quite accurate. I will consider your arguments when ever I find my self Luci-fagging.

>>28299777"Oh? It seems like it comes to you quite easily."
>>28299777It is weird seeing you be all formal, it is like you flip a lever from Sylvie to Princess Sylvie or something I am glad I get to avoid it by being a bodyguard and about as common as you can get
>>28299777"Well, either way, I'm glad you were here to handle it. I probably would've ended up babbling and gotten myself detained.Not sure I would've ever lived that down."

Listen, I need to sleep. Archelon, if we can do this, please count this as my vote for politely telling Sylvie we're not up for a romantic relationship with her, when and if it comes up. I don't want to lead her on. It's worked out far too poorly every time I've ever seen it happen.
>>28299857Anon, no.I expect the flood of samefags.We need every man.

>>28299904Well yeah, each girl will have a vocal minority but the plurality is just undecided people who jump on whatever seems good at the time.
>>28299904FSA was never EVER going to go solo girl.How did you not know this.The only question was whether Best Girl would be in it.She didn't. ;_;
>>28299904I honestly wish the QM would just make up their minds for them sometimes. But it's hard to find a way to do that without forcing something or pissing people off.
>>28299840Reinhold's personality is the result of too much SWORD.
>>28299893I know, I know. I suppose we'll have to just roll with it.
>>28299904Nonsense, we made up our minds perfectly.First we were leaning towards Rin, but then we wanted to bang/have awesome bro adventures with Rider, but Rider said she'd kill us if we hurt Sakura, and we knew Sakura was crushing on us, so we chose the most Shirou option available: ALL OF THE ABOVE, NO HURT FEELINGS, MAXIMUM HAPPINESS.
>>28299939Well that's very reasonable of you.
>>28299932From the thumbnail I thought that was a pic of VAGINAWINGS.I'm sad it wasn't.
>>28299941I still want Rin to win, even if it means throwing Sakura to the dick worms.
>>28299931We could sort it out by just going for Sylvie now and ending all further arguments about itBecause until anon goes with one there will always be this shitAnd Sylvie does seem to have the threads support based on the last vote
>>28299931People are going to be pissed off anyway. Some of them anyway. And since it's hard to tell samefag from non... Yeah, I guess it'll have to be Arch who will have to do the shipping accorging to his personal tally of f(l)ags
>>28299931Both VMQs did this, the second moreso than the first. It was awful.
>>28299941Don't forget Rin's sub-harem consisting of Saber. That's a very important part of the group dynamic.
>>28299957Rin will be first waifu.She knows how to manage her own harem after all.
>>28299941>Implying AC-Guy won't kill off most of the harem
>>28299823maybe more like this.
>>28299957She's probably got Best Girl locked in, considering we've got so many fucking Rin Points we can harness them for mechanical benefits.
>>28299958Considering the amount of people saying to turn her down, I doubt that. I think the first vote went through because it had the support of people trying to be friendly as well as the Sylvie fags.I'd rather turn her down. She's the one we're stringing along the most and I just don't think it's in-character at all that Reinhold likes her like that.
>>28299987Consider your opinion noted.
>>28299987Yeah, I pretty much agree.
>>28299976AC-Guy scares me pretty bad, sometimes.My biggest fear is that he'll kill Ilya.I don't want her to die. I can't watch her die again.Arc, we're on page 10 and at 1100 posts.
Archelon keeps saying it's too early for anything to happen with a particular girl.Which makes me think he's slowly committing suicide, trying to overwork himself for /tg/'s ungrateful heart. He will die before we're even at handholding stage, trolling us all.>what a glorious way to die
>>28299987I'm in for Sylvie. I feel like she's the one we've bonded with the most (Not that we haven't bonded with the others) and also I just like her and I want Reinholt to like who I like
>>28300014Yeah.OP should go to sleep.
>>28299958Sylvie is pretty clearly not true end. I kind of like her as a person and in real life I'd be down (and probably would be even if I wasn't totally starved for human contact) but it doesn't really make sense for Reinhold.
>>28300022What? No. We've bonded with Marianne far more than any other character.
>>28300022I honestly don't see how she's bonded with Reinhold the most. I would say he's much closer to Marianne, especially since he's talked about his past more with her than anyone else and helped her more as well.
>>28299987And I disagree, I think she is in character the type of girl Reinhold would likeShe so far is the only one who has yet to get a strike against them like Marie triggering PTSD or Nico invading our privacy and dragging the others into it, she also can take care of herself and complements his knowledge / skills nicely which is something I see reinhold worrying about
>>28300052>Nico invading our privacy and dragging the others into it,That was Sylvie. She jelly.
>>28300022We've bonded with Marianne by far the most, though that's as friends, and Arnaud as student/teacher. Thing is, most of our binding with Sylvie was student/teacher as well.

>>28300052Dancing trauma isn't a strike, it was a requirement to open up the Marianne route.If you waifu Sylvie, that's your own prerogative, but at least keep your facts straight. Reinhold needed that flashback in order to get anywhere with Marianne.
>>28300020I agree with him, in character it really is too early.However, 56 threads in the audience has become pretty radicalized, people who think certain girls are best for Rein or like them most personally have pretty much solidified their opinions by this point and now they're becoming more and more vocal about it despite Rein only knowing these girls for a month or even less.I've no idea how to calm them down though without direct QM intervention.
I just want this thread to die so that I can go to sleep and not have to scroll through the archives to find the part I left off at.
>>28300049That's both work and something I can say from personal experience something more likely to keep someone at friend distanceTwo crazies helping each other don't particularly lend themselves well too getting together without it ending horribly and in tears.There is still the fact that Marianne considers us subhuman or not really a person
>>28300040>>28300049The tricky part is that even though they have much in common, she still doesn't see him as person.As for him, I imagine the idea of courting her is totally alien to him and would probably make him melt from the self-doubt and feeling of inadequacy.
>>28299987>>28299605 here, and I stand by my opinion. Sylvie ship the best ship.I also think Rein would appreciate the "lewd", since it contrasts with what he was exposed to in the brothel.
>>28300052It's precisely because she hasn't gotten a strike that I don't think she's a good match. The two know next to nothing about each other and the relationship feels very shallow and simple. There's no tension or sense of something more, it's just Sylvie crushing. It's very hollow in comparison to the other girls.
>>28300040>>28300049>>28300064No, we improved our relationship with Marianne a lot, but we're still basically her pet and she's still someone we have to protect. We're friends, but she's still fairly distant. Nico we're GOOD friends with, but in a very Bro's way. Sylvie isn't scared of us, treats us as an equal (Points fo Nico too there), spends a lot of time with use (teaching us magic but still), and has accompanied us on more or less all of our adventures.My take on it at least.
>>28300081I wonder what the other girls rankings would be if we got updates on them every thread?
>>28300091You're trying so very hard. if this was school or the military you'd get an award for that effort, but on /tg/ you're just a tryhard.You're in too deep, bro.
>>28300091You didn't say a single substantial thing there at all. All of those traits easily apply to other girls.
>>28300087Her not seeing him as a person is just a case of Top Tsun. She clearly does even if she thinks she doesn't.
"Well either way, I'm glad you were here to handle it," you say. "I probably would've ended up saying something stupid and ended up detained.""Ehehe, I'm always happy to help," she says, glggling. "Just kind of got annoyed th- never mind," she sighs. "It's a pretty nice view out here, huh. You can see the entire city from this high up.""Yeah, it certainly looks different when you're all the way up here," you reply."I might as well take the opportunity while I can..."Sylvie then stretches a bit before jumping straight onto the battlements and doing a little pose."Yup, still got it!" Sylvie says happily."Gaah- get down from there, it's all windy and you could fall!" you shout frantically, not having expected Sylvie of all people to do something this reckless."Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly safe up here..." she laughs, playfully sticking her tongue out at you.She then turns her back to you to face the moon... and then begins chanting."Shining lights of the night sky, free me of my shackles so that I may soar to your boundless heights," she says as Script spins around her like an unfurling tapestry. "Starlight Wing!"Sylvie then jumps in the air as a pair of eerily glowing white wings form on her back and lift her further up. You watch on as she shows off for a bit, doing several loops and spins before going up as high as she can and staying up there for a few minutes.Just as you're starting to worry that she might be stuck or something, she finally descends, dropping the spell as she lands next to you."It's always nice to stretch out your wings, you know..." Sylvie jokes. "So, um... you said that you were going to sketch the view?">yeah, let's sketching!>no, I wanted to ask you...>[OTHER]
>>28300075It isn't even me waifuing her, I said earlier in this thread I am in the Marie partyBut honestly triggering that episode really should have set reinhold waaaaaay back on even considering her because of the mental connection he made between her and Spinelle even of he didn't realise it consciously.Out of the girls I was just pointing out that the one who has so far been presented most as attainable and possible for Reinhold to manage is Sylvie
>>28300022the only reason why we've started to be interested in sylvie is because she knows magic and we wanted to know magic for good reasons of course since we want to do our job better so we have to keep going back to her. i don't think the first thing we do whenever we want to talk to sylvie is try to romance her, we're doing it just because we want to learn magicso really i dont know why we're pulling her heartstrings just let her goalso no we've bonded with marianne much more but she's still in thick ice that is progressively melting the more we talk to her
>>28300111>>yeah, let's sketching!
>>28300052>privacyThat was Sylvie, Nico just got dragged along.It also probably boosted our standing with her when we came clean with the girls and forgave them.
>>28300111>yeah, let's sketching
>>28300076I actually think ~1 month is the appropriate time to initiate romance after meeting a girl. It's long enough to know if you've got mutual interests, but not so long that either side has really begun to look at the other as "just a friend" an dismissed the idea altogether.
>>28300111>no, I wanted to ask you...Time to turn her down.
>>28300111>sketch>get her in the picture
>>28299987>I just don't think it's in-character at all that Reinhold likes her like that.If anything, I feel like the mature thing for Reinhold to do would be to come clean that he can't exactly into romance, not because he doesn't return her feelings, but because his conceptions of romantic love during his formative years (a brothel, followed by abuse, followed by the ARMY) were so fucked in the head that he doesn't know that he isn't just going to conflate "you are nice, and pretty, and I enjoy your company" with "I have feelings for you", and that phoning it in just because we don't want to hurt someone's feelings is the one thing we understand would be VERY incorrect for us to do.
>>28300111>yeah, let's sketching!
>>28300097Nicolette I would expect to be hovering around broMelanie would be liking leaning towards interestedSylvie would be likes but totally in denial and in no way ever going to mention it
>>28300111>yeah, let's sketching!Put her in the sketch flying over the city in front of the moon
>>28300111>[OTHER]I really gotta learn how to do that
>>28300090>Relationship requires both parties to have a baggage against each other>It's not about mutual attraction or appreciating each others' qualitiestvtropes pls go
>>28300124this
>>28300111We sketch her.
>>28300111>>yeah, let's sketching!I'm tempted to ask her to teach that spell.. but it's probably way outside his level right now.
Rolled 13>>28300111"Well, I was planning on sketching the view, but then an angel appeared..."and this is the part where Reinhold ends up documenting the various visible effects of spells via sketches
>>28300111>yeah, let's sketching!I'm not voting for the Sylvie route, but it is too good an opportunity to pass up.I want her to stand on the battlements like she was a moment ago. We can sketch her, silhouetted against the moon.I want to see her blush. I thrive on her embarrassment.
>>28300156THIS SO MUCH THIS
>>28300111>yeah, let's sketching!I feel guilty for not explaining to her how Rein feels when he's got a good idea of how she feels, but I think he would still avoid his feelings for now.
The thread is halfway down page 10, we'll need a new one ASAP
>>28300111SketchingDraw the view from the battlementsMaybe draw a silhouette of a figure with wings
>>28300156Supporting.
Rolled 5>>28300111>Winged Sylvie>Yes[x] commit to memory[x] draw like you've never drawn before
>>28300145It's not about fucking baggage. It's about literally not interacting with each other in a meaningful way at all. Are you honestly going to say that mutual attraction and appreciating qualities is somehow mutually exclusive to tension and actually working through problems together?
>>28300116We don't try to romance anyone first thing out of our mouth. Or, you know, at all.My vote's going in for Sylvie, when it comes up.I feel like Rien is way to terrified/PTSDed of Marianne romance and Nico still seems too bro tier to me. no offense Mariefags, Nicofags, or miedofags
7 threads from termination.
>>28300156No.
>>28300179We got time.
>>28300111>Sketch, pls? Its what I was planning on doing up here any way...Just going to recommended this again. See if she can keep wings for sketch of her with the awesome background.
>>28300156Do this, see if she blushes bright enough to light up the roof
>>28300156I'll support this only because I want to see how flustered Sylvie will get
>>28300111>no, I wanted to ask you..."Do you have feelings for me, yes or no? I just don't know what to think anymore...">let's get this over with
>>28300156Little heavy-handed there, friend. Maybe Luciana could get away with that one, but I dunno if it's in Reinhold's wheelhouse.Still amusing, though.Getting Sylvie in the sketch is perfectly acceptable, though.Especially if we don't warn her in advance, and spring the finished product on her with a "So what do you think?"
>>28300176You seem to consider baggage the only thing meaningful. All the happy moments we shared with the others aren't meaningless.
>>28300156Fuck yes
>>28300191No doubt that I will hnng.
>>28300177No offense taken, I can understand the reasoning
>>28300156Why are people actually voting for this
>>28300211They want to lead Sylvie on as hard as they possibly can.
>>28300211Because it's hilariously awesome.
>>28300156I just want this for Sylvie's reaction.
>>28300187Lets hope. Longest thread in awhile.
>>28300211No idea. I support sketching Sylvie, but the dialogue for that one is too forward for Reinhold.
>>28300211Because Sylvie is cute as fuck when she's flustered.
>>28300221It's totally out of character.
>>28300204I'm saying pure happy isn't meaningful because it shows a lack of depth. Emotional attachments lead to a lot of emotion, good and bad. When you don't utilize the full-range of emotions, you imply a weak emotional attachment.
>>28300221Very true.
>>28300156Please noReally?
>>28300176I'm not saying it's mutually exclusive with tension, in fact I'm sure some problems would arise.But you're in a relationship despite problems, not because of them. Definitely not because problems BETWEEN the two of you. If that were the case, maybe Nico and Marianne would romance Monique.Now if there was some external problem that pushed the two together, that I could imagine.
Rolled 11>>28300211I have no idea. I posted that as a joke.
>>28300156this
Alright, that's enough voting for that.The thread's nearly about to fall off the board and I have class in the morning so I guess this is it for tonight.I enjoyed all your waifu-ing and in-depth examinations of character motivations and all that, it makes my bizarre hobby seem more worthwhile when people put that much thought into it.Anyways, I have a final vote for you all. There shall be TWO interlude things at the end of this day. One is Karel, but you get to decide the other. The choices are:>Marianne and Luciana>Nicolette and MelanieYou get one, not the other. Pick now before the /tg/ gods sink this ship forevar.And thanks for playing!
>>28300156Downvoting.
>>28300246>Marianne and LucianaFRIENDSHIP IS BEST SHIP
>>28300246>>Marianne and LucianaEasily.EASILY.Nothing against the other two, but this dynamic is too amusing to pass up.
>>28300246>Marianne and Luciana
>>28300246>Marianne and LucianaNo conttest.
>>28300156please no
>>28300246>Your mom and My Dick
>>28300246>Marianne and Lucianayessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
>>28300246>>Nicolette and Melanie
>>28300236First broken girl wins.Fuck you.
>>28300156This is too good to pass up.And it's probably exactly what she hoped for.Jesus, guys, she's showing off in front of Rein.
>>28300246>>Nicolette and Melaniefinally, I can sleep
>>28300246>Marianne and LucianaI just have to see this.
>>28300246>>Marianne and Luciana
>>28300246>Karol AND Marianne/Lucian interlude>I promised my friends I would go to a bar with them tonightArc, whyWhy do you do this.
>>28300272...yesPeople do that. You seem surprised.
>>28300246>>Marianne and LucianaThis is a choice???
>>28300270It has nothing to with being broken. It has to do with a lack of issues or problems being not only unrealistic, but completely lacking in any sense of deep emotional investment.
>>28300246>Marianne and LucianaI want to see what they're doing.
>>28300272I wonder how much more obvious she'll get before we talk about it.I could see it getting to the point where she sneaks into our room in the middle of the night wearing almost-nothing, and then gives up and /tg/ instead has a small tea party with her like nothing weird happened.
>>28300246I like Melanie. Really, I do. But her and Nico just can't stop the >Marianne and Luciana-train.
>>28300280just doing my duty.
Goddamnit, we could have had yuri with Nico and Meido, but seeing things from Marianne's PoV is too good to pass on.>>28300246>Marianne and Luciana
>>28300246Wait so you enjoyed the waifu wars? Are you some kind of masochist?
>>28300246You and cool bro OP>Nico and Melanie
>>28300246>>Marianne and LucianaPrıincesses 4EVA!
>>28300294>unrealisticNot that I disagree about Sylvie being boring, but I do take issue with that.Lots of people make it through childhood without issues.
>>28300279I'm not doing them now, I have to waste time sleeping and all that.Just a vote on what I should get to working on, that's all.And now I leave for real, good night to everyone who accompanied me on tonight's Wild Rid.e
>>28300310That's crazy talk. He's just fueled by anguish and fighting.
>>28300310Sadist, you mean.
>>28300320>>28300321Shit that makes much more sense then what I was thinking.
>>28300310We QMs feed on misery and conflict.If you've watched Madoka Magica, we're like the incubators. We sustain ourselves on your grief.
>>28300310>>28300320>>28300321In short, he's a QM.
>>28300246>>Marianne and LucianaYeah this.Thanks for running arch.
>>28300294I'm deeply emotionally invested in watching you faggots plan to turn her down.
>>28300310>masochistNo.I'm not the one in pain, you all are.Also, >>28300272Sunstone is great and I really should catch up with it.>SERIOUSLY GONE NOW GOOD NIGHT
>>28300318It doesn't have to be a big issue. I just wish there was SOME issue. Even a minor one.As it stands, Sylvie just blushes and stammers a lot and Reinhold just sort of doesn't react at all and stays the same nice guy he always is. It's like there isn't anything to their relationship but small talk.
>>28300319Sleep tight Arch, thanks for the thread.
>>28300340Go to sleep, OP.
Rolled 1>>28300321Often linked hand in hand.The only difference between the two is the target, and surprisingly often, these two things occur simultaneously.He must have a raging boner from the shitstorm that >>28300156spawned. Seriously, that got way out of hand.
>>28300342Their relationship is based on kindness, small talk and magic. Not the stuff of Epic Romance, but nice enough for kids their age.
>>28300342Bitch got friendzoned. /tg/ just hasn't realized it.
>>28300342>Yandere tendencies>not an issueit's like you deliberately try to make her look bad by being too good.
>>28300342Her mother is a bitch who wants her to be a proper lady. She spent the majority of her life under that mother's thumb, and only recently escaped to spend most of her time doing mage training at the castle.It's a small issue, yes, but that's what you asked for.
>>28300246>Nicolette and Melanie
>>28300361>Sylvie's mom's a bitchJe vais te cogner, copain.
>Nicolette and MelanieKind of curious what these two would do or talk about to warrant an interlude of their own.
>>28300407>implying they will be talkingYou know they're going at it right under everyone's nose.
>>28300407Make out in the closet, probably.
>>28300407Maximum lewdness.
Lurker here. Gnight Arch
>>28300397Do you have her confused with Nico's awesome mom? All we know about Sylvie's mom is that she's a girly girl according to Sylvie.
>>28300453We've seen her speak before though in an interlude. It was after the Sylvie and Niklaus fight
>>28300453You don't badmouth a lady you barely know. You just don't.Especially when she's married to the spookiest guy in the whole kingdom. He might hate her himself, but I doubt it.
>>28300294>It has to do with a lack of issues or problems being not only unrealistic, but completely lacking in any sense of deep emotional investment.You know after one month most women don't spill the beans on everything right?I've known girl for 8 years and she only recently told me her father used to abuse her when she was young.
>>28300467Oh, so she did.Even if she is willing to beat up her cousin Gregory (update the family trees, guys) for Sylvie's sake, she still has poor tastes in hobbies and is far too proper.
>>28300495That makes her lame in comparison with the other adults around here, which isn't saying much. And probably a restraint for Sylvie.It doesn't make her a bitch.
We need less fuckable women and more cute girls. We can all agree on cute girls.We need to get in good with Celestino so we can be Elena's official BFF.
>>28300512I know. I'm going to keep exaggerating her bitchiness until she gets more screentime.
>>28300514Does Elena not have her own bodyguard?
