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.The day started out fun, but then those kidnappers showed up and everything just kind of fell apart. But with any luck, today will be different......or maybe not, considering that you have that party to attend today.>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_ArchelonQuest compilation that's kindly maintained by a person who isn't me:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4nhs9gd0kmnnni/04tpEy5_pe>>
TIME FOR A FUN PARTY, DURING WHICH I'M SURE NOTHING WILL GO WRONG AND EVERYONE TOTALLY WON'T DIE.
Let's do this.
As Reinhold walks away, Luciana feels a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. While she would really like to beg him to stay so that she can salvage something from this night, he clearly doesn't want to spend any more time with her... especially after she let her ugly side show through in her treatment of that piece of filth.With a sigh of resignment, she turns to a guard who is standing by the door to the balcony."H- how can I help you, Princess!?" he asks, showing her a rigid salute."See what you can do to determine the origin of those men, as well as that of their weapons," Luciana orders. "I assume that there's enough of them left intact for someone to identify.""I only damaged the face of one of them," Takamaru nods."Y- yes, Your Highness!" the guard exclaims.>[1/?]
>>28706231you guys are one of the worst type of players in this quest.its getting annoying hearing you guys saying its happening every thing
I made this picture after the last thread, as an offering.
feet are hard
I bet he quits by thread 80
>>28706260"And once that's done with, I would appreciate it if the balcony would be cleaned up before my Father finds out what happened," Luciana says, scowling."Er, I'm not sure the cleaning staff is equipped for this..." the guard replies, fidgeting."I didn't say to have the cleaning staff do it," she mutters, glaring out of the window. "Go find whatever fools were supposed to be guarding the rear of the castle, and inform them that -they- will be taking care of this mess.""Those kidnappers were allowed to get as far as they did because of THEIR incompetence," Luciana says through gritted teeth. "Do you have any idea what would have happened if my mother, or my sisters, or pretty much any of the royal family aside from myself or my father had been out on the balcony during this attack?""...understood, your highness," the guard replies meekly."And also tell them that I personally ordered that they shall be on janitorial duty for the next month. In their guards' uniforms.""Aaaaaas you wish!" he squeaks.>[2/?]
>>28706284Clearly scared out of his mind from both the horrible bloodbath out on the balcony AND having to interact with Princess Luciana, who is feared by pretty much all of the castle's staff, the guard uses her orders as an excuse to get as far away from all of this as possible.As he makes a quick retreat, Luciana lets out a deep sigh. Tonight was supposed to her first chance to actually get close to Reinhold without any of the others getting in the way and now everything's ruined... but there are more important things to worry about."...and what are the rest of you staring at?" Luciana shouts as she looks around at the other guards who are just watching her. "From tonight until I decide otherwise, the number of guards who are stationed here in the castle is hereby tripled, as well as the frequency of patrols! Inform all of the castle's staff, along with anyone who had taken time off!""Yes, your highness!" the guards all exclaim, standing at full attention.>[3/?]
>>28706256...Oh god, that's not something that actually needed to be made is it?The only other quest protagonists I can think of that would need a chart like that are Mr. Shadow and Risa Schrodinger, and at least they have the excuse of being pretty distant from a human baseline....Also I guess Red Joker, but same dif really.
>>28706260>especially after she let her ugly side show through in her treatment of that piece of filth.Kind of knew that was exactly how she'd take it.Killing a guy for ruining your evening is kind of uncool. Especially when he didn't commit a crime worthy of execution. Not that I think Reinhold is personally upset about it.
>>28706330>Real life monarchies would totally play nice with people who try to kidnap the royaltyAnon, please.
>>28706354I don't think it's all that weird for a monarch. I just thought Luci was better than the average monarch. She wasn't using her status to cut in line back during her day with us and Marie and such.
>>28706268Its a joke dude, chill.
>>28706328
>>28706328its gotten to the point where we are past subtotaling relationships and are now sabotaging the MC.
>>28706244its the nature of /tg/
>>28706391>we
Dan if you are reading this you have a chance to get out now, do it for your sanity.
>>28706380Just tired of it since it has been used since the first thread and when ever some thing suspicious happened.
Personal Request. Let's not act like a bunch of waifuing faggots okay?This isn't a VN. Its VN based. I seriously doubt any single choice is going to route lock us or bar a route either. Calm the fuck down.And if a little romance happens with a girl who isn't your favorite? We're not about to get married at this point. We can hold hands and I don't think it'll matter at all in the long run.In before tired >hand holding is lewd "joke". That is only ever funny on /d/.
Luciana is fucking scary, man.
>>28706377If someone sent some armed thugs to pull me off my own balcony and do whatevs I would be kind of irate also.
>>28706411Nope.I will crush every single flag I see, Princess, Mage, or Dragon.
>>28706270Damn it, I laughed.
>>28706328how about Murderface from MGNQ?>>28706330> he didn't commit a crime worthy of executiontrying to kidnap a royal is a crime worthy of execution
>>28706422Yeah, but I wouldn't kill an unarmed(literally) guy who had already been subdued and wasn't fighting back just because I was irate.>>28706435Is execution without trial or due process also allowed? Do you have access to Marconetti's laws?
>>28706328Shadow has a better understanding of how to be a good human being than the anons who were driving Reinhold last thread.An elemental who is the antithesis of life is a better human being than some people on /tg/.
>>28706425Reinhold isn't you, anon. Do what he would do. Not what you would do if you were a bodyguard of the tsunest princess in the land.Seriously people. Roleplaying. Its not that fucking hard.
>>28706425Great, so we can be an anti-social jackass?
>>28706330>Killing a guy for ruining your evening is kind of uncool. Especially when he didn't commit a crime worthy of executionAnon, are you...actually autistic?He tried to FUCKING KIDNAP HER, and his friends tried to FUCKING KILL US.He did not "Ruin her evening"! He tried to -KIDNAP- her.Murder and kidnapping are both crimes worthy of execution.
>>28706458I'm not going to argue that it wasn't callous, I'm not going to say he didn't deserve it, either.
>>28706458It doesn't matter at all what you would do, Luciana obviously would.
>>28706467I will. I will protect the princess and support his job.Flags are irrelevant to that.
Reminder not to reply to bait or stupid, uninformed opinions.Please. The shitposting will grow if you feed it. Just IGNORE IT.
>>28706470>>28706467Don't feed the trolls, can we have a peaceful thread this time. I rather not have Arc drop this interesting story just because of fighting
>>28706467This. Couldn't agree more
>>28706492Not being a terrible person is pretty relevant.Or do you think being a bodyguard means only physical harm and doesn't extend to mental, emotional, social, and spiritual harm?
>>28706515Honestly, the problem isn't that it's more common than in other threads, the problem is that this thread has, like, 5 times the usual amount of people contributing.
>>28706487>>28706490I'm just upset that she could really only do that and get away with it because she's a princess. I thought she was better than that considering how she wasn't throwing her status around earlier. That it actually happened I'm less upset about, especially since Reinhold wouldn't be upset about it either.
Guuuuys, you're doing that thing again. You know the thing I'm talking about.
I intend to run late tonight, but I'll cut the thread short if it seems like there'll be a repeat of last night's idiocy.>back to writing
>>28706540I dunno, even in modern times, if a motherfucker tried to kidnap you/kill you, no jury on earth would convict you if you killed the fucker.
>>28706555Are you already starting to regret it?
>>28706555good idea Archelon
>>28706330>crime worthy of executionYou mean trying to kidnap you isn't worthy of execution?
>>28706555Arc, I want you to know that I love your writing and appreciate you QMing for us.Please remember that /tg/ loves you, even when it erupts in violent shitposting.
>>28706540Yeah that's understandable. However considering the amount of replies you got, can you keep your opinions to yourself next time? Otherwise we'll get the kind of posts that piss off arch.
>>28706540>I thought she was better than thatShe waits in line at restaurants and doesn't abuse her royalty as far as we can tell. Having a vicious temper when it comes to mortal enemies isn't crazy at all.
>>28706563If they'd already been subdued/surrendered like that they would. You can still be convicted for something like that.Regardless, I've said I wanted it to and I'm not interested in arguing or convincing anyone so I'm stopping here.
>>28706563a robber was able to sue the person he robbed because he got shot, by the person in the middle of the act.
>>28706326How is she planning to triple the number of guards without her father finding out?
>>28706555Your creativity is inspiring people to voice their thoughts and opinions. Your Quest is great Arch, we just gotta cool ourselves because you're pretty hot.
>>28706540Attempted kidnapping is a crime punishable by death in Marconetti. Luciana's status didn't really factor in at all, his life was forfeit once he failed.The only part where her status came in is that Marconetti's normal "no torture" rules would have been ignored if he'd actually been captured instead of killed on the spot.
>>28706605Plot Guards You plant a guard-seed. Give it stern orders and a tough shouting at, and more guards just sprout up from the ground!
>>28706605If he doesn't micromanage the troops, it'd be simple--he'll never see them in person, he's got to be at the party.
Guys, Luciana did what she did.Within the context of the setting, it was a perfectly justifiable act.Can we drop it now?
>>28706555 if /tg/ is too much of a shit to make running the quest worth it, would you still want to make a VN? I would legit buy that.Again, sorry for /tg/ being... /tg/. I missed last night's thread, but read it via archive - holy SHIT, that was a new low for the fanbase. Like, late BFQ-tier awful.> mfw last thread
>>28706555Do what you gotta do, man.
>>28706660>would you still want to make a VN?this is getting turned into a VN?
>>28706555the interlude is pretty much ok for this thread!
>>28706695So we hope.
>>28706660>late BFQ-tier awful.This quest has surpassed it by far. I participated in every single thread from start to finish, and PGQ blows it out of the water.
>>28706326As the guards scurry off to convey her orders, Luciana turns to Takamaru."Do you think you'd be able to trace where they came from?" she asks. "Perhaps it would be possible to locate their employer from that.""While I am not sure how far back I will be able to track, I will try," Takamaru replies as he walks out onto the balcony, taking care to avoid the blood and human remains that are strewn about.Stretching out his arm, Takamaru chants a long spell in his native tongue, filling the blood-scented air with glowing red Script."Shikigami: Taka no Hane!" Takamaru shouts as about ten bird-shaped pieces of paper materialize before him.The paper birds then float down close to the remains of the attackers for a few moments before flying off in all directions. With a nod of satisfaction, Takamaru leaves the balcony and returns to Luciana's side.>[4/?]
>>28706660Care to tell me what is BFQ to me good anon?sorry for unrelated question>>28706695It was suggested and Archelon seem to think its a good idea
>>28706555Fair enough - sounds good on both counts. Just try and remember that we adore the quest, and the shear amount of shitposting is a direct result of people being emotionally invested into the quest; sometimes too much so.It's a credit to how well you put this all together, honestly.
>>28706727Blatant Fetish Quest
>>28706727Blatant Fetish Quest.No, seriously.You played as magical futa lesbian tomboy who never left her tower at murder-hogwarts and had sex with errythang.
>>28706727>Care to tell me what is BFQ to me good anon?Blatant Fetish Questaka Shitstorm Arena:The Quest
>>28706727Blatant fetish questfunnily enough there was little to no waifu wars on that quest, most argument are how to make the MC powerful, which most of the time gets out of hand.
>>28706702Taka has lots and lots of powers. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit jelly.
>>28706774>not choosing one girl to maintain a consensual monogamous relationship withNot my fetishes
>>28706736It went down hill when he tipped the scales too quickly.there were two main factions and they equaled each other out, but the second a third one emerged it made it possible for them to team on the winning girl and then bad mouth said girl because she wasn't the one they wanted to win.
>>28706702I wonder if he uses those to send letters back home.
>>28706702Why in the world would Luci's paranoid dad fire him after the time limit? Takamaru is amazing.
>>28706702And so Takamaru displays his amazing utility powers.We really need to ask somebody for lessons.
>>28706806We should ask Takamaru.
>>28706805He don't want the guards to get in her pants.
>>28706805To make sure Takamaru isn't wooing his daughter.
>>28706800Sadly, he can't read.
>>28706806how about Niklaus
>>28706829Poor guy, I suppose he's never asked anyone to help him with that either.
>>28706806We did, but people keep trying to avoid her.
>>28706701the sex scenes satiated their lust for girls.
>>28706760>>28706774>>28706779>>28706788What the actual Hell?I will search it on Archive later Thanks for answerin anons
>>28706844He said we were too low leveled and should be using sylvie.
>>28706869So much for that then.
>>28706844He really could use some more screen time. I wouldn't mind that at all.>>28706853I personally don't prefer Sylvie, but the way people were acting last night was completely appalling. She's still the best no-strings attached magic tutor. Considering how the only other one wants to experiment on us.
>>28706828Maybe we could make Takamaru OUR bodyguard at this rate.
>>28706890Yeah, I really like Niklaus, I hope he gets more screentime
>>28706892I'd rather let him return home and do whatever work over there. When the time is right we can visit and learn his magicks.
>>28706890Plus she has the most flexible schedule as well since one doesn't want to do magic and the other has a schedule to follow.
>>28706909same, Wizardbro all the way.
>>28706844How about Gregory, if he ever has any free time? I mean, with all the comparisons that are made between our current ability and Gregory's when he first started out, he might be able to steer us around some growing pains...
So the theory on the kidnappers from last thread:Since the attacks started after Granache and the time limit to get her was the Ball, both of which have to do with Celestino trying to arrange a marriage for merging Granache and Marconetti together, it's likely that stopping the merging is what the kidnappers are trying to do. Likely their plan was to get Luci to make an example of and either cancel or disrupt the ball to keep things from going smoothly for Celestino. Which means that Marie or Emilio are likely future targets. Either at the ball or afterwards. If Ancolleta is behind this then the spies that are possibly in Granache are probably involved with such a plan against this and would explain why Celestino knew about them(it was his plans to try and merge the countries that spurred them into action).Anyone have anything else? Obviously, we should at least be operating that this one is a possibility(and thus our charge may be in danger) and prepare for it, but any other theories would be appreciated.Also, we should mention this to someone in the story. Probably Marie since she might be in danger and is good with the political stuff.
>>28706950He doesn't have a flexible schedule and really doesn't have the time to teach us properly and Sylvie father isn't a good teacher.(i don't see why you guys are trying to wiggle out of using sylvie.)
>>28706950>Gregory to teach, everI don't think he likes doing the meager teaching that he does.Also I don't think we should worry about not progressing fast enough in magic. Because you see, we have this badass swordsman teaching us all his awesome tricks. The same badass old man who taught gregory. So relax everyone, swordmage powers will arrive in due time.
>>28706984I feel it could be something more than that with that slaver country most likely trying to stir shit.
>>28706984We still need to ask marie about what she thinks on all of this, kidnappings included. She would definitely know better than us.
>>28706702"It is done, Princess," Takamaru says, glancing back outside to make sure that all of his shikigami are gone."Thank you, Takamaru," Luciana says, sighing. "I know that I ask a lot of you, and I appreciate that you've been so understanding.""Don't concern yourself with me," he replies. "I will do whatever I can to keep you happy and safe. That is all.""...I really will miss you when your shift ends, Takamaru," Luciana says, a sad smile on her face.Motioning for her bodyguard to follow her, Luciana starts her long trek to her room. There's blood on her hands and she's not quite able to hide how shaken up she is right now, so it'd be best to retire before her parents or siblings spot her like this.The two of them continue along their way without another word. Luckily, they don't run into any guests as they walk, just a sudden flow of guards who pour past them after doing a quick, nervous salute.Those must be the idiots who failed at their post...They eventually make it to the Princess's room without incident, safely avoiding anyone who Luciana wouldn't want to see her in this state....until she's right in front of her door."Princess Luciana? Good evening, I generally don't see you walking around the castle at this hour," Karel says, giving a deep bow.>[5/?
>>28706984I don't think Reinhold has enough of an understanding of the current political climate to be throwing any theories around.Being extra-alert is plenty in-character, though, for me.
>>28706950nicolette's mom could make a decent tutor since she's supposed to be super good/powerful (looks almost same age as daughter and all). plus while we're there we can tease nicolette and her brothers
>>28707004that bad ass swords men is assuming you are getting taught by a mage he likes a lot(she considers him family).
>>28707014How about we don't go around talking about kidnapping attempts to other kingdoms, this is their kingdoms issue, they might not want the knowledge to get out for obvious reasons.Unless you'd like to cause an international affair?
>>28707023Thats out of town, which limits us a bit there.
>>28707011Marconetti and Ancoletta are at odds and Marconetti has an advantage in the army department, but won't attack because it isn't sizable enough to take them down without severe causalties.If it merged with Granache, it's advantage would be much larger. That's a good reason to try and stop this, especially since their other neighboring country marrying into dragon royalty is already scaring the shit out of them.
>>28706984Rein already told his wife about that incident.also i keep feeling there is more here than actual merger of a kingdom.Don't the gods(spirits) like the humans being decentralized?
>>28706950 I remember that on the start of the quest there was so many comparisons between Reinhold and Gregory that I thought we could be his clone(or kind of successor if you want something more plausible)I'm silly
>>28707023That's a pretty good idea, she seems like a nice enough girl
We already have a tutor guys.
>>28707090Nope
>>28707021Reinhold isn't dumb, and he listens in on all of Gregory's classes for this exact reason. So he can understand this shit and prepare for it.>>28707033She already know and if this theory is correct it heavily involves her and her country.
>>28707090they are trying to get out from having to interact with sylvie.(this already bit us in the ass in the last thread.)
>>28707097The best swordsman who may have ever lived is "Nope"?
>>28707090Don't start this shit.
>>28707090>>28707097No no, you're mistaken. We have TWO tutors. We have Arnaud and Sylvie and past that, anyone in the castle who wants to help us with Magic. >>28707106Unfortunate.
>>28707110He also offered to help us with our art since he knew how to draw as well.
>>28707021This is all based off of our current understanding of the political climate. Which IS Reinhold's understanding of it as well.He's been shown to be really smart if uneducated. This is within his capabilities.
Why is everyone being so mean to each other?
>>28707016>Karel>she?welp. that solves that,
>>28707144Are you retarded, or is this satire?Until she's in front of her door. Luciana. her room. She's in front of her door to her room.Holy fucking fuck.
>>28707021the idea that someone doesn't want luci's dad's plan of merging two kingdoms to go through isn't exactly advanced politicssetting up political marriages and stopping political marriages is pretty simple
>>28707144She as in Luciana.
>>28707133because this is /tg/ I'm afraid
>>28706626>opinionIt's kind of interesting. I recall posting my opinion in this thread a few minutes ago. Lo and behond, it was deleted.How curious.
>>28707173None of the other quests are NEARLY this bad, though.
>>28707154If it was something lucis dad wanted to share though, it's something that would be shared. We shouldn't go around spilling confidential information, besides, why would we want to stop a political marriage. It's something very common, and there's no reason reinhold would be against it.
I don't really get how everyone is freaking out about how bad everything is. Isn't this how it always in every quest with girls?
It looks like we have is janitor that is trying to clean up the thread.(it does explain how come the thread is somewhat slow.
>>28707188But anon, it's different here.It's been 76 threads, nobody wants to invest time into 76 threads only to near the end and find their waifu losing. They would be understandably upset. That's why everyone must sabotage everyone else. Would you enjoy investing 3 months in something, only to watch your ship go up in flames?
>>28707208No posts have been deleted, anon. Unless 4chanx has suddenly started erasing deleted posts.There is just dramatically less shitposting right now.
>>28707153>>28707159(looks again) ok, i see it now. well, this is what i get for fast reading. sorry.
>>28707199i wasn't trying to say he wants the marriage stopped, i was trying to say that he's smart enough to understand that other people might want to stop it
>>28707133Waifus bring out to worst in people.Lets see if people can put that aside for at least one thread and play the character properly.
>>28707199What are you even talking about? What confidential information? This is all based off shit we've learned, not been told in secret. Furthermore, it's not about stopping the marriage, there isn't even one yet and there may not be one at all. It's about stopping the guys who want to stop the marriage because they may try to kidnap or kill Marie to do it.
>>28707226>It's been 76 threadsThis is far from the first quest to go on so long.And maybe people should be in it for more than just the ships.
>>28707208I recall when /tg/ had no moderation. Now we have janitors pruning disagreeable people. All hail Big Brother.
>>28707226Yes, because my ship is friendship and while I have my favorites, I don't actually hate any of the options available.Are you stupid or something? Be a good person. To everyone. Then see where that gets us.For all you know the quest could end with a heroic sacrifice and all the waifuing was a distraction.
>>28707016"Well, I was actually about to head in for the night..." Luciana says uneasily."Ah, I see," Karel nods. "Busy day tomorrow and all that... huh?" he says, noticing the Princess's hands. "D- did something happen?""Nothing that you need to worry about..." she says nervously as she reaches for the handle of her door."But isn't that blood on your- oh God, your hands are covered in in it!" he exclaims. "Are you hurt!? I- I'll do and get a medic, please don't exert yourself..." he says with a slight bow as he quickly turns in the general direction of the infirmiry."That won't be necessary, I'm unhurt," Luciana says, sighing. "And please don't be so loud...""B- but all of that blood..." Karel replies, staring at her hands."It's not mine, so you don't need to worry-""Please, Princess," Karel says, his eyes completely serious. "I may not be your bodyguard, but I'm still sworn to protect the royal family as best I can. If something happened to you, I would like to know about it so that I can help prevent it in the future, whatever it is.""...you really are a little knight-in-training ...I can see why the girls in town are so taken with you," Luciana says with a sigh. "If you absolutely insist, I suppose I don't have much of a choice.">[6/?]
>>28707241At this point, playing a schizo horndog seems to be proper characterization.
>>28707208>>28707180If a janitor is cleaning up this thread trying to "salvage" good posts from bad, that might leave a negative impression on the original poster. I think a lot of this talk is constructive and imaginative, and I'm enjoying Archelon's story, our choices with his game, and our interactions with each other.
>>28707188True but I have seen other threads get this bad or worst on /tg/. For some unknown reason this quest just attract those peopleand that is sad>>28707226MGNQ has being running longer there are anons that don't like the waifu that is being pursued and even so they don’t go all out sabotaging
>>28707208Arch has 133 followers. This quest got 900+ posts yesterday. There's only so much you can do by deleting posts. At the end of the day, quality posts need to come from users.So just take it easy, everyone.
>>28707274>Karel undermining the Luci routeThis is the comfort flag that we gave up last thread.
>>28707283>MGNQ has being running longer there are anons that don't like the waifu that is being pursued and even so they don’t go all out sabotagingThere really aren't any other valid options
>>28707097I am confused at this response. Is one of the best swordsmen alive and a magical prodigy not good enough for you or is this one of those wafu meta-gaming ploys that are causing Archelon to consider dropping this quest?
>>28707315>one of those wafu meta-gaming ploys that are causing Archelon to consider dropping this quest?bingo, we have two tutors and right now they are trying to replace the mage.
>>28707274Hopefully she's not feeling so bad as to fall to bits on Karel.
>>28707313>He's taken our flagSHAZBOT!
>>28707351I need to put more >flags on here.
>>28707315The latterPeople really don't want to be around Sylvie and it's pissing me off because even if she's friend-zoned, we can still ask her for help anytime.
>>28707406aside from her date night being ruined she seems to be (somewhat) used to this, so while she may have broken down the first time (if at all) i doubt it would happen this time
>>28707459>the greentext is the wrong color
>>28707449Guys, GUYS, I just realized a great way to modify Tailwind.We need to talk to Niklaus when we get back.
>>28707476Too much work to change.
>>28707493Care to share?
>>28707474It's more than she thinks Rein thinks she's a cold bitch.>he clearly doesn't want to spend any more time with her... especially after she let her ugly side show through in her treatment of that piece of filth.
>>28707474Being used to it necessarily isn't a good thing.
>>28707493Oh boy that sounds pretty great.
>>28707508I still feel like we should apologize, but I'm not sure how to have Rein bring it up naturally.
>>28707274Giving in to the young swordsman's insistence, Luciana gives him a basic overview of the night's chaos. As she continues her story, Karel's scowl grows deeper and deeper."...and that's about it," Luciana sighs. "I'd appreciate if you didn't mention this to anyone, though. Emilio's party is tomorrow, and I've done everything in my power to keep what's happened from ruining his big day.""I see," Karel replies, a solemn expression on his face. "their latest kidnapping attempt ruined you date with Reinhold.""I wouldn't call it a date," she says with a bitter laugh."Anyways, I completely understand why you're so upset," Karel says, his eyes showing his firm resolve. "Did you have any clues as to where they came from?""Don't worry, Takamaru's taking care of that," Luciana says, pointing to her bodyguard."I've sent my shikigami... er, something like a familiar to try and pick up their scent," Takamaru says with a nod. I am also going to personally search the city after I see that the Princess is safely inside her room.">[7/?]
>>28707506It's simple.We go fast.
>>28707510>the waifu to end the waifu wars.Ah yes, the 'Great Waifu' that shall settle the matter once and for all, and end these wars forever!
>>28707560Amen.
>>28707560Wasn't the dragon waifu supposed to do that, though?
>>28707263Yeah, its kinda fucked up to purge someone just because they express their dislike of your waifu.
>>28707536We can talk to her tomorrow and just apologize in general and just say we're being paranoid. My interpretation is that Reinhold basically came up with this >>28706984 or something like it and decided it was time to stop fucking around and go full workaholic bodyguard until this is all over. It's the only thing that even makes sense to justify all that shit as in character.
>>28707560That's Rana, right? We all agreed the Dragon Waifu was the chosen one.
>>28707546Damn, we should have joined Taka in the glorious hunt.
>>28707589Maybe if she was a dragon princess, but she's just a dragon commoner, so the wars go on.
>>28707596No we didn't.
>>28707589Rana rates pretty high on my list, yours may vary but we haven't seen enough of her yet to have a solid opinion on the matter.
So does anyone else get the feeling that we are grossly under-informed to be the go-getter type of bodyguard? I feel more like the bodyguards in movies who never really dispatch any threats, they just take bullets in a dramatic dive.
>>28707493I could totally get behind thatThough I'm not seeing how it can't just be replicated by wearing rollerskates and casting tailwind. Not to mention that it would require Reinhold to learn rollerskating, which is something which I don't think actually exists?
>>28707596Mai Dragon Waifu
>>28707536Just do it honestly and straightforwardly (which is apparently a word), but without apologizing for doing our duty."The other night was a bit crazy. I had to make sure Marianne was safe, but... (it would be great if would could spend time together/let's dance/I'm glad you're safe/etc)." Whatever is the least spaghetti.
>>28707536The opportunity will rise up. Just gotta be vocal about the vote when it comes up.And I mean really vocal.
>>28707612We're a mix of the two. For now.
>>28707597And we could have!I'm guessing Karel is actually going to stay behind because Taka works alone.And do you blame the guy? It seems that every time he fights, everything around him just kind of crumbles apart.
See what you people did trying to sabotage the MC's relationships? We missed cool shit! Cool shit!
>>28707612It's a process, can't be great from the get go.
>>28707283The only quest I can think of that was nearly this bad was psion quest and even then /tg/ was still SOMEWHAT civil.
I've never seen so many shit posts about shit posting.
>>28707589>>28707596The landing was supposed to settle the matter, but it got bogged down on the beach and instead turned into yet another front, and yet another stalemate.
Why does this have to be so serious? Why can't we have fun with it?Come on people, can't we just have FUN?
>>28707715
>>28707546"I see," Karel says, nodding. "Would you mind if I accompanied you?""You don't have to do that," Luciana says. "Tomorrow's sure to be a busy day for you, so you ought to get your rest.""I don't need much sleep," Takamaru nods. "There is no need to concern yourself with me.""Still though, I insist," Karel replies. "If nothing else, it's best that you have someone to back you up in case something happens.""...are you prepared for that?" Takamaru replies, a cold look in his eye. "In the event that I find the people responsible for this, there -will- be bloodshed. That is not the kind of thing that one as young as you should be involved with.""I guess it's my turn to tell you not to worry," Karel replies, a bitter smile on his face. "I'm a royal bodyguard now, bloodshed's something that I've had to consider ever since I accepted my post.""..very well," Takamaru sighs. "As long as you understand what you are getting yourself into.""I guess that's settled, then..." Luciana says as she opens the door to her room. "Please be careful, both of you.""I will," Karel replies with a bow."I will do my best," Takamaru says.After looking at both of them with a tired smile, Princess Luciana waves goodbye to the two bodyguards and closes her door.>[8/?]
>>28707833I approve of Takamaru and Karel's excellent adventure.
>>28707546>>28707833>something like a familiararch why must you do this for meHopefully Takamaru and Karel will be safe. All the bodyguards are so based. We should consider talking to Andreas when we get the chance.
>>28707833God damn, Karel is going to have all the fun and glory.
>>28707833This is what we missed. The chance to see Reinhold be a real badass outside of some kiddie duels. I, for one, hope that we violently grab the next opportunity.
>>28707870I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing I've posted has been deleted.>>28707833I get the feeling Karel is no where near as experienced with actual non-practice fighting. Has he ever even seen someone die before?
>>28707926He has never done the real deal before.This is probably a good opportunity for him since if shit goes down at the ball he needs to not freak out.
>>28707833ADVENTURE! (experience vicariously via Karel, but adventure nonetheless).I wonder if he'll get blooded tonight? That could be fun times.
>>28707926Probably not. Which is why it sucks that he's getting his murder on and we were stuck getting yelled at by Marie.
>>28707885>Hopefully Takamaru and Karel will be safedidn't takamaru cut a guy in half from 20 feet away earlier? they'll be fine, though karel may get a little trauma>>28707911>I, for one, hope that we violently grab the next opportunity.agreed, i want to see more serious fighting from the guy that won a royal fighting tournament
>>28707833>[9/9]Yes... today's been just terrible. Reinhold most likely hates her, both Takamaru and Karel are off potentially risking their lives for her, while Luciana herself just... ugh.Walking over to the wall where she's hidden her grimoire collection, Luciana considers reading through the one that Sylvie helped her decipher last night... but she's really not in the mood for such a thing.She's not in a mood to do much of anything, to be honest. As all the anger and frustration at everything that's happened tonight reaches a boil, Luciana collapses on her bed and cries herself to sleep.
>>28707983Damn it I was right.I hate being right.I wanted to be wrong.I may not love you but I don't hate you Luci.
So, Arch. Quick couple of questions - how does one go about altering spells from their original intentions and forms? Is it a long daunting process, or can anyone do it if they have the training? I remember Nico's Mom used Rose Sphere, which was just a simple color variation of an established spell, but say if you want to alter the spell Luciana used last time (Collusus Hold?) from appearing and grabbing a target to maybe popping out and delivering a right straight instead...?
>>28707983>and cries herself to sleepArcpleaseYou're hurting me.
>>28707983Lucciiiii
>>28707983Poor Luciana.;_;
>>28707983Oh goddamnit now I'm sad
>>28707983Being a teenage girl is hard
>>28707983I regret nothing.
This is what you get for sabotaging the MC. You get FEELS.
>>28707983>cries herself to sleep.Damn it all guyslet's apologize to her when we get a chance
>>28708008>>28707983Eh i'm neutral about, but i didn't think she would hate her self almost as much as marie does.( i guess that's why they are such good friends.)
Rolled 14>>28707983
>>28707983Taka an Karel better enact some sweet vengeance on Luci's behalf since Reinhold was too busy playing with mud to do it.I don't even care for waifus that much. I just wanted to see Taka/Rein bro-op.
>>28708048We can't.It's meta knowledge.All Rein can do is greet her normally and happily in the morning.
>>28708073he know that it was unpolite and that he should apologize so it's not meta
>>28708073he may not know she cried herself to sleep or that she thinks he hates her, but he does know he left her right after a kidnapping attempt (albeit to check on his charge)
Her tears are on your hands, /tg/.
>>28708111So what? That's nothing to apologize for. She has her own fucking guard, or is Takamaru incapable now?
>>28708073He doesn't know she cried herself to sleep but her knows that abandoning a girl that just got attacked by masked men is a shit move. We could still apologize and have it make sense in character.
>>28707983Onions. Onions everywhere.
>>28708132He still knows it was a bad thing to do to someone looking forward to spending time with him.
>>28707983good.
>>28708132It's not about her physical safety it's about dem feels. She puts up a good front because she needs to. But, at the end of the day she is a teenage girl who is at constant threat of bodily harm and is nothing but a political tool to her own father. These are all things that Ren knows in character.
>>28707983hnnnghhhI knew we should have gone backhow do we make this up to her? rein doesn't even know she's upset
>>28708013>how does one go about altering spells from their original intentions and forms? Is it a long daunting process, or can anyone do it if they have the training?Depends on how you want to change it.Color changes are the simplest thing ever and literally anyone who can cast magic in any capacity past the usage of scrolls cam manage it, but bigger changes require plenty of work.For example, it took a lot of experimentation and a complete understanding of how Shard Breaker worked for Sylvie to create her own personal variant.>>28708013>but say if you want to alter the spell Luciana used last time (Collusus Hold?) from appearing and grabbing a target to maybe popping out and delivering a right straight instead...?You can use that spell to punch stuff as-is. No alteration required.
Okay. I don't even care who it is anymore, as long as we stop being a shut in and make sure to spend it with someone. Not hanging out with people due to anti-waifu sabotage is going to get reinhold sitting in his room all day not speaking to anyone.
>>28708212He heard her barking orders at the guards as he left, didn't he?
Fucking hell, I wish I could whisk archelon away to a magical land of happiness and questing where he needs only listen to my voice and not the whole pandemonic voice of a thousand raw throats that is /tg/.
>>28708211i thought she cried because she thinks Reinhold hates her.
>>28708212Yeah knowing Luci she will be all ready and have no signs of crying during the party today. I feel that Rein will feel bad about leaving her in her time of need though, especially with his backstory in mind he was never really one to let down someone that needed him, even at the cost of his life.
>>28708220Are we going to begin Day 26 tonight?Have you forgiven us?
>>28708198amen.>>28708212i don't think Rein will ever know, she puts on too much face,especially for the party.the best Rein can do is ask if she was ok, if she shows a hint of something then maybe ask if something is wrong.
>>28708220So Archelon, have you learned anything?
>>28708241I'm sure that's also part of it.
>>28708220>You can use that spell to punch stuff as-is. No alteration required.We need this spell NOW!!!
>>28708238Get him to make the VN instead. At this point there's almost too much dumb/bad shit that has happened because of bullshit waifu sabotaging for me to enjoy what's happening.
damn guys... we could have helped takamaru hunt down some vermin last night. Instead we almost cover our room in clay. At least we learned the spell though right?
To all you faggots who're crying about Luciana: You fucking did this.You had several opportunities and so many goddamned outs, and instead you autists decided to do, literally, nothing.Actions have consequences, assholes.You made your bed, Anon, and Luciana cried herself to sleep in it because you're too fucking busy licking your own assholes to not be a shitlord.
>>28708241She is a tough girl I don't think any one thing would make her cry like that. I assumed it was a matter of the straw that broke the camels back.
>>28708303I tried to swing the vote back, and I failed.I'm sorry anon, but I'm only one person.
>>28708291I just can't fathom why anyone would do such a thing.Shouldn't the ultimate goal be to have one girlfriend and X number of close female friends, where X=the number of girls whose routes didn't make it?Sabotage just results in foolishness and deadlock, I'd have hoped even the blathering retards of /tg/ could figure that out.
On a happier side note, you guys remember the signal if Marie needs us to bail her out of an awkward social situation at the dance right?
Don't respond to it.
>>28708261I learned that the janitor here's a pretty cool guy.
>>28708333Earring pull.
>>28708303Get a load of this guy.
>>28708333Ear tug, right?
>>28708303I voted to stay with Luciana, then go back.But apparently the autists can't stop being autists.
>>28708333earring tug right?
>>28708333No, what was it? The ear tug?
>>28708303hey guess whatnot everybody voted for the most popular vote, retardi voted we go back but got outvoted by the "let's sit on our own and shoot clay at mari" crowd
>>28708333Did she actually end up acknowledging that?
>>28708300>At least we learned the spell though right?nope not even, we learned the basics of it, but if we went to sylvie or even asked marie we would have learned it.
>>28708303I don't know about you but some of us have lives. I was busy the last few threads and read them in the archives. I sure as hell would have voted to stay with her.
>>28708350I was too late to change the vote. We're all a bit responsible.Honestly I was pretty surprised when out of nowhere we got "nuh uh time to study magic now".
>>28708303dude mostly the ones crying are people that were not in the lest thread and people that have being out votedthey did not vote to ignore her or didn't vote wile lurking on the thread, /tg/ is not a hive mind
>>28708291I feel like the only other valid tactic would be to go to quest 80 or so, have a big flashy finale, go on hiatus for like three months minimum, and then start Princess Guard Quest Part/Disc/Book 2: Guard Harder.Minor time skip to heel the wounds of /tg/'s stupidity, and reintroduce characters in a newbie friendly manner.Because this quest needs new blood with people who aren't already divided into camps.
>>28708333Yep.
>>28708340Funny, I feel like he made this thread the most hostile one yet.
>>28708399Princess Guard 2: The Guardening
>>28708399>quest 80 or soChances are the ball won't even be finished by the end of that thread.
>>28708422Then make the ball be the finale.The point is that this quest needs more people who just want to do cool and fun things and aren't concerned which girl commit the terrible folly of becoming our mate.
>>28708300>>28708375This even when we rolled a 19 we only got the gist of it.
>>28708399He should just take a break, take what he has from the quest and edit it and put into Renpy(or Twine if he doesn't want to use art and go full text) and include the other choices we could have made and either keep going from there or pick the quest back up.
Let's just see how things pan out for right now and keep moving along. This is hardly a worse case scenario for anyone involved. Marie's probably going to go check on Luci soon enough, and we'll be with her when she does. We can talk with her then.
As you regain consciousness, you open your eyes... the sun's rays are shining on your face, and you feel quite rested. Deciding not to waste this good start, you quickly get bathed, and then poke around through your closet to find the outfit that Arnaud had made for you specially for the party.Looking over it, the outfit consists of a pair of pants with silver-colored embroidery that runs down the legs and a plain-looking shirt. Covering your entire top is a white jacket with a blue and silver design along the back and sleeves, along with an odd cord that just kind of hands off the front.A bit fancy for your personal tastes, but it's not like it looks bad at all. After you manage to get everything on, you attach your sword to your belt and make your way out of your bedroom and into the living room of the suite.Looking around to see if the Princess is up yet, you see that she's casually sitting on the couch in similarly casual clothes, reading another book."...ah, you're up already," Marianne says as she glances up from her book.>greet the Princess!
janitor pls stop, I appreciate what happened in the last thread but half the posts you're deleting aren't even offensive content
>>28708468sarcastic as always, we don't know about interlude.
Seriously, calm down.
>>28708468Good morning princess, looking forward to the party i see.
>>28708468"Good morning, Marianne."[insert sarcastic reply here]. I got nothing.
>>28708468I am as surprised as you, considering how close those wretches came to kidnapping me last night.
>>28708468apologise for the whole clay shot incident, maybe explain we were on edge because of the whole luciana thingthis segues smoothly into "so about that whole luciana thing, whats up with that"
>>28708468there has to be a joke about her staying up all night reading
>>28708468"Yeah, hey, I just had the weirdest nightmare where masked men attacked Luciana and I nearly cast a spell indoors. Huh, I don't even think I'M dumb enough to do something like that."
>>28708508Yes. We're already in the dog-house, so we might as well be a little sarcastic.
>>28708495no one is arguing at all now.Its just the janitor deleting every single post not related to this thread.
>>28708522She will not appreciate that.Nonono. Not jokes at her expense.
>>28708468>"Our morning exchange is the highlight of my day, I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Rolled 11>>28708528Yeah, this is good enough.
>>28708508lets try this
>>28708468"G'morning, Marie. Have you eaten yet? I'm starved."
I'm no good at dialogue, but can we remember to confirm the "get me out of here" signal with Marianne?
>>28708468"Good morning. It is time. On to the barricades."
>>28708528Going to second this followed by an apology for our bullshit last night.
>>28708468"Indeed, and I say it seems as though you haven't moved since I last saw you. Good book?"
>>28708495You kind of took two and a half hours just to give a vocal minority of your player base the finger while not having any player action, giving them nothing to do but wait and talk to each other.While I do sympathize with your plight, I'm not really sure what you expected to happen in this particular instance?
>>28708468>"WHY ARE ASSASSINS TRYING TO KILL ME AND GIB LUCIANNA?">"GOOD MORNING MARIANNE.">"WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?">"AAAUGHHHHHHHH"
>>28708508I like this. A vote for sarcasm is a vote for fun.
>>28708553thisit was a while back we agreed on itspeaking of, do we have anything better than "the king wants to see you"
>>28708556and we have our all night reading joke
>>28708508This.
>>28708556blah, drop the "i say" I have no idea why that's even there.
>>28708495Remember, you literally just finished thanking the janitor for riling people up like this.
>>28708535It's the only way.Scorched Earth baby.
>>28708468>>28708508 looks good.
>>28708468"Indeed I am. Nervous about the party?"
>>28708553This man brings up a good point. It was the tug on her earring, correct?
>>28708508>>28708556These. followed by this >>28708553
>>28708553Yea, dont forget this
>>28708553>>28708556These.Just move on and do better, no need to keep wallowing in the muck.
>writing
>>28708556This.
>>28708553I kinda feel like she'd remember. Really, she should be asking us if we remember.
goddamnit I know it's OOC knowledge but I want to check on luciana
>>28708652stop trying to meta game and let it happen naturally.
>>28708652It's not really OOC to want to check on a friend who just got attacked. What was OOC was ditching her like that.
>>28708652Don't worry about that, we'll run into her at some point today.
>>28708652Patience, anon.
>>28708652we'll get to her soon enough
>>28708652All in good time, we aren't going to rush over there first thing in the morning, but its certainly within the bounds of IC knowledge to deduce that she might have been bummed out about last night.
Arch, how close do we have to stick to the princess during the party? Is a dance with our gram a realistic goal for the night or will we be by her side most of the time?
>>28708670I guess we can justify it as we got spooked about our charge and worried that their was some vast multi-tiered conspiracy and let paranoia get the better of us.Also seeing just how good Luciana and Takamaru were last night made us feel that our own magic was insufficient for our duties, especially if it looks like the situation is only going to escalate?It's clumsy and kind of selfish, but it's the best I can manage.
>>28708721I hope he doesn't make us do dancing rolls.A lewd critfail in private is fun, a lewd critfail in public is horrifying.
>>28708721iirc she's going to end up being with her dad after a while so we should have time to dance with our new grandmother
>>28708721Look at it this way.With the signal in place, we'll have to watch her the whole night.Now imagine Rein dancing with your waifu while constantly eyeing Marie
>>28708721She doesn't really want to be there so she'll most likely ditch or stick with her dad after dancing with a few people to be polite. Might have time then.
>>28708721do you want me to tell you now, or do you want to learn when it happens in-story?I don't care either way.
>>28708721If anyone tries anything at the party, unless its the dragons because they're probably the only ones who could pull it off, they'd be fucked.
>>28708732That's basically the only way to justify it. Reinhold believes it has something to do with the whole merging plan and that Marie will be in danger so he's gone full workaholic.
>>28708763>in-story
>>28708763Story. I feel like Rein ought to ask at some point if nothign else
>>28708763in story please, no spoilers
>>28708763in story
>>28708721I say if we ever get the chance to introduce Gram to Luci, we should give her a big hug for 'giving us a family' or some such.
>>28708763In-story'd probably be best.
>>28708763>in-storyI know it won't be like this but I can imagine.
>>28708763No spoilers~~~I'm interested in seeing how things go.
>>28708763Reinhold could have been briefed earlier (and then revealed to us in a flashback), so please, instory?

"That I am," you say with a lazy salute. "But it looks like you haven't moved since the last time I saw you... is your book that good?""Actually..." she sighs, "I went to sleep later than you and woke up earlier than you did. And this is a different book," she says with a smirk as she holds the cover towards you."Ah. Pardon my ignorance," you reply."Well, it looks like you've recovered at least some of your wit," Marianne says as she holds her page with a bookmark and places in on the couch beside her. "And judging from your clothing, I see that you remembered that Emilio's party is today.""Kind of hard to forget," you reply. "Speaking of which, I was wondering if you remembered my suggestion about a signal if you wanted to get out of a dance or whatever?""A tug on my ear? Yes, I remembered. To be honest, I was wondering if -you'd- forgotten, but I suppose my worrying was for nothing."Marianne then gets up from the couch and looks out of the window, stretching her arms and legs. It kind of makes you wonder just how long she'd been sitting there on the couch.>[1/?]
>>28708905Just waiting for the next post, for fear of he who shall not be named.

>>28708974>[2/2]"You might as well now, since I doubt that anyone else has bothered to tell you..." Marianne says as she heads back towards the couch. "...the party starts at four in the afternoon, and we'll be going to the place where it'll be held at two. That's why I haven't bothered to change into that uncomfortable dress yet.""Ah. Thanks for telling me," you reply."You're free to do whatever you want until then, since I intend to stay here and finish this book off before it starts."Uh... are you sure?" you ask."Yes," Marianne says as she plops back down onto the couch. "I'd like to do -something- enjoyable before I'm thrown into that crowd of annoying people."Well, you weren't expecting that... it's 7:30 in the morning right now, so you have plenty of time before you need to head back here.>ask Marianne something>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whatever>[OTHER]
>>28709018>>28708996I'd vote that it's now her bookmark.
>>28709002From what I've heard, you need to say his name three times in a row
>>28709030>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whateverCheck on Lucianna. We're totally a concerned FRIEND after what happened last night. Not metagaming based on that interlewd at all.
>>28708974>"A tug on my ear? Yes, I remembered. To be honest, I was wondering if -you'd- forgotten, but I suppose my worrying was for nothing."Yeah, called it on that one. Ah well, no harm done. >>28709030>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whatever
>>28709030Can we read the book Marianne gave to us until about 8:30 or so. Then head out to look for Luciana I guess.
>>28709049This.
>>28709030>>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whatever>>28709049your not helping.
>>28709030>>[OTHER]"I'm gonna go check on Luciana, then. Stay safe, Marie."
>>28709030"Before I go, have you got any idea about who could be trying to kidnap Luciana? You seem much more versed on the political climate than I."
>>28709030>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whateverMaybe Nicolette is awakeWho am I kidding, like this stands a chance
>>28709030"so who will be guarding you during my absence?"
>>28709030>>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whatevercheck up on Luciana
>>28709049I support this.
>>28709030Track down Luciana. Ask her how night went. Apologize for leaving so suddenly. I'm certain he knows how awkward it was.Considering how uncomfortable he is in romantic situations I'm not too surprised that Reinhold decided to bring Elena along with them. No apologies for that.
>>28709030>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whatever
>>28709030Go see Lucianna.
>>28709030... we should probably change out of our fancy duds before we go off and do [whatever]. Don't want to ruin them during the day and show up our Granachian employers.
>>28709030>see if someone you know is awakeLuciana. We parted on awkward terms and she may be experiencing a low.Let's be done with this bullshit.
>>28709068>>28709072No, fuck that. We have no reason to do that.
>>28709030Ask her if she's good on breakfast or if she wants us to fetch anything for her?
>>28709040Do you think I'm daft? I'm not going to say Hastur's name three times in a row, that would summon him!
>>28709049Lets do this
>>28709050Adding on to this, but I want to ask what book it is.
>>28709078Just give up. After the ball I'm out of here
>>28709078they are trying to metagame, they should just let it happen naturally.
>>28709030>>28709064This.Talk about our theory about why someone was trying to kidnap Luci.>>28709063Then this
>>28709078Quiet, you.
>>28709049>Not metagaming basedWhatever helps you sleep at night.
>>28709076That's a good point, we're overdressed as of now.>>28709078Being a non-shitty friend isn't in-character?
>>28709082I like this.
>>28709096Seconded
>>28709030>check on Luciana
>>28709049my vote lies here though maybe we should get changed into something more casual first, don't want to get our fancy suite all dirty/bloodstained
>>28709078>We have no reason to see if a friend who was almost kidnapped yesterday is all right.seriously?
>>28708974>To be honest, I was wondering if -you'd- forgotten, but I suppose my worrying was for nothing.If you only knew, Princess.> archelon: ok guise do you remember this thing we talked about some threads ago hint hint> scramble to find info in the archives> yes we do certainly
>>28709105>Being a non-shitty friend isn't in-character?Not that anon, but at this point it kind of is.>>28709082Seconding
>>28709097>>28709105he has a point though, we should say sorry but not rush straight to her room in the morning.
>>28709030>>ask Marianne somethingTHe book or breakfast
>>28709049Seconded.
>>28709096This. We missed a chance to dig up some info by going with Taka so let's get at least something out of this before we head off to salvage friendships.
>>28709096Talking about it with Marie might put a downer in her mood but in this situation it's certainly needed so lets talk with her before we go.
>>28709102While they're certainly voting for it because of metagame reasons, its not OOC for Reinhold to just be concerned after what happened last night.
>>28709131Fifth-ed technically.
>>28709116If we didnt bother to do it last night, we have no reason to do so now.
>>28709096This.
>>28709049Eight'thd?
>>28709105>That's a good pointMm. Shame it's liable to get lost in all the Luciana spam.Personally i'd think we'd only go see a princess if we were invited to, considering our relative status, but that doesn't really matter I suppose. Reinhold being a peasant is just sort of forgotten by this point.
>>28709154Sixth'd.
>>28709082Lets go with this. Lucifags need to chill out, seriously.
>>28709030>>check on Luciana
>>28709030See Luciana.
>>28709096Going with this. I'd like to here some feedback on our theory so it isn't just pure speculation.
>>28709030>head out and explore/see if someone you know is awake/whateverFind Luciena, don't want this to spiral out of control somehow.
>>28709076throwing in my support for changing
Please, let's just go check on Luciana.Let Reinhold get just a bit of hold on his social skills.Either way, going to Luciana or not going to Luciana, could be accused of being metagaming. Let's not go down that road.
>>28709141It is in character for us to say sorry, but for us to go straight to her room, just to say sorry doesn't make sense.(it would have been better to say we are checking up on her, but people feel like metagamming)
>>28709064I liked to ask Marie this question as well. I'm still pretty concerned about the whole affair.
>>28709082>>28709096These two. Also change out of the suit.
>>28709169>don't go see a friend who we abandoned after she nearly got kidnapped, if you do that you're just a waifufagdon't start this, anon.
>Archs face when checking on her so early in the morning just makes her even more neurotic and self-loathing
>>28709076This too.
>>28709184We can do that as well, like since it seems as if our charge is safe, we wondered how she's holding up now that the adrenaline's worn off.
>>28709096Going with this. We don't have to immediately rush off.
>>28709184>(it would have been better to say we are checking up on her, but people feel like metagamming)Are you doing this on purpose? Please stop doing it.
in (my) orderget changed, don't want to ruin fancy suitask marianne about attacker ideasask her if she needs anything else/who will be guarding her/if she got your notehead out to check on luci (7:30 am she might still be asleep, especially everything that happened)
>>28709184Yeah sorry is pushing it, just showing that we're worried is good enough
>>28709193Seconding.
So consensus seems to be>Change Clothes>Talk with Marie about possible kidnapping plotters>Inform Marie we're going to check on Luci>Go check on Luci
>>28709201Then let's take a little time to change out of our clothes, ask Marie if she already had breakfast or if she wants us to take care of that for her, maybe read a chapter or two of that book she gave us, and just generally kill an hour or so of time to not seem too desperate.Or is there a reason to object to that?
>>28709076+1Then find breakfast.
>>28709224the parenthesis,?If so yeah 4chan has been acting up for me so i can't really spoiler with crt+s.
>>28709240Pretty much.
>>28709248Or you could just type it normally.
>>28709270but i'm too lazy anonHappy
>>28709288I meant in general, not the spoiler tag.
man, it's quiet in here without all the shitposting
>>28709368Shh, leave them be.
>>28709368It's quite nice really.Also, we should try and organise more signs for Marie to silently let us know information or to give us orders.Stuff could come in handy.
>>28709373I-I just wanted to check everyone was still here.It's almost too quiet.
>>28709368It's better this way. >>28709402Just do something else.
>>28709396What else is there that's also subtle? Brushing her hair back? Fiddling with some part of her outfit?
>>28709402It's better this way, relax. Browse other threads or something.
>>28709402>It's almost too quiet.Great, some of us are starting to get PTSD.
>>28709402Too quiet, you say...
>>28709427Playing with a necklace, scratching her neck?
>>28709427Issue is that you're going to end up with Reinhold climbing the walls because he thought Marie was giving a signal when she was actually just doing something normal.
>>28709396Probably would be good. Look how Citrine acted when we went off to stop that fight with her. She knew how to cooperate with us so we can fight and still be able to protect her. It would be nice if Marie knew that stuff too.Though, since she's used to having a bodyguard for her whole life, she probably already does.
>>28709455This secret signal stuff is hard!
>>28709445i'm going to dig a trench in my lawn and sit in it naked screaming about how my waifu is superior to you're waifu
>>28709402sshonly dreams now
>>28709477Maybe organise to do a few combined training drills when we get home then?Knowing the full limit of her magical power would also be very useful for making plans.
>>28709455>>28709477>>28709490i think maybe we should just adopt the earring tug as a universal symbol for "help me". like if she's in trouble from someone and it all looks innocent enough, she can try and subtly tug her earring to let us know that it's time to get choppy
>>28709500you're waifu a shityours is clearly better
Considering everything that happened last night, you kind of want to check to see how Luciana's doing. But it's still kind of early, and you're not sure if she's even up yet.Not to mention the issue of your attire... while it's not like these duds are hard to get around in (and you make a mental note to thank Arnaud for that later), it'd be kind of bad if you got them dirty before the party even started. As such, you head back into your bedroom and change into your standard-type bodyguardly outfit before returning to the living room."Hey Marianne?" you say, remembering something that was bothering you."Hm?" Marianne replies as she looks up from her book."I was thinking about those kidnapping attempts...""Oh?" she asks, placing her book down onto the couch."...you think that maybe they could have something to do with Luciana's father's wanting to join our countries together? She did say that the attacks started not too long after she got back from Granache.""Hm... that is possible," Marianne replies. "I'm not too sure that's the case, though. The attempts started -after- she returned from Granache, which means that they started after father turned her down. As such, she's not really useful for that goal any longer.""Hmm, you have s point there," you say, scratching your head.>[1/?]
>>28709698>Upset Marconetti nobles trying to remove disgraceful princessParanoia
>>28709698>"Hmm, you have s point there," you say, scratching your head.I really hope you don't cave in there Reinhold. There's still the matter of why she had to be taken before the ball.
>>28709733"The kidnapper said she had to be taken before the ball, is anything important happening then?"
>>28709752Besides Celestino trying to get Marie to marry his son, I can't think of anything. Kind of why I still think it has something to do with the countries merging.
>>28709770maybe some one had a similar plan to what luciana had, but for them selves, instead of Reinhold.
>>28709770the speech marks were there to indicate that was something i think rein should say to mari
I kind of just want to learn/practice magic until the ball happens to be prepared, but we probably wouldn't recover our MP in time if we used to much of it. So what should we do after checking on Luci.
>>28709823talk to sylvie since she can probably fixed our botched up spell, then probrably find the other girls and the like.
>>28709823We could... go find our friends and/or get breakfast?
>>28709823no magic. mp restores through sleep and emptying our reserves to learn a spell isn't worth it
>>28709837Why do people think it's botched? We rolled a 19, cast it fine, and then cast it a bunch more times to make sure it worked properly. It did.
>>28709849how about fixing one like clay spread.>>28709856Give me a moment ill show you.
>>28709856>While you can't really figure out how to delay the shots, this seems to be pretty good for a first try. Satisfied that you seem to have this spell down in at least its most basic usageWe can use it, but not mastered it.
>>28709893So? That's because it's a new spell, not because we botched learning it. We still can't turn properly with Tailwind or cast Holy Shine at full strength.Hell, considering we got punched in the stomach on our first Holy Shine cast, and tripped over ourselves/ran into a wall on our first Tailwind cast. That's the most successful we've been on a first try.
>>28709924Anon, I would prefer that we not have to roll a 19 at minimum to gain even basic control over a spell when we can just ask Sylvie for help and have a guarantee of better mastery in less time.
>>28709944I think the roll had little to do with the quality of our control - it was going to be spotty. Learning the spell was probably a lower check than you're thinking.
>>28709944And what I'm saying is we have only basic control over the two spells she already taught us. Except maybe Holy Shine which we needed a repeat lesson for. I'm not seeing any better mastery in less time here.
>>28709698>[2/2]"Besides... if that was their goal, then they'd most likely have left Luciana alone and targeted myself or Emilio instead," Marianne says. "Even though there is no way that I'd EVER marry him, it's fairly obvious that Luciana's father's next move is to try and set me up with him.""Oh yeah," you reply. "You did say that was the main reason for us being invited here for his party.""Exactly," Marianne sighs. "Them attacking last night probably suggests that they wanted to interrupt the party... but there are all kinds of reasons why someone would want that.""Yeah, that guy did say that he was ordered to get her before the party," you reply. "...maybe Ancellotta is involved somehow?""Hm. That's always a possiblity, and Luciana's father's hatred of that country is no secret... them wanting to make him look like a fool in front of nobles from several foreign countries is always a possibility.""Or it could be someone who's become smitten with Luciana and wants to capture her before she can be married off to someone else... to be honest, it could be anything," Marianne says with an exasperated sigh, "and there's no knowing until someone with actual knowledge of the plot itself is found.""The kidnapper that Luciana caught claimed that he wasn't told anything aside from that he needed to be captured before today..." you mumble under her breath."...in any event, thank you for being there to help her last night," Marianne says, looking slightly embarassed. "I'm relieved that she's safe thanks to you, and I'm sure that she appreciated it a great deal as well.""I'd have done the same for anyone else," you say with a shrug. "Messing with people I care about kind of sets me off.""So I've noticed.">anything else to say before you go to see Luciana?
>>28709924>>28709971I rolled the 19 and that was a basic not a mastery of it, imagine if we rolled lower than that.The other two we mastered then and are in the process of refining them.>TailwindIts basically us learning how to control it.>Holy Shinei thought for this one we had to work it out like a muscle.So what i'm saying is can we confidently use the spell in combat.
>>28709944even with sylvie it took time (days iirc) to learn a spell, and we've only got a few hours tops. while i agree we should ask for her help to get the clay shot thing down better (and the angel wings thing since flight is USEFUL) we just don't have the time, and we don't want to use up all our mp when we may need it for whatever shit may go down
>>28709971Those have a higher learning curve.
>>28709972"Enjoy the book"
>>28709972No, I think we're done talking to the princess for now.
>>28709972"Do you want me to get you some breakfast?"
>>28709999Ah, you're right. We picked the two hardest spells first.
>>28709996not days it took us around 30-40 minutes per spell if i remember correctly.
>>28710011Something like this, mention finding food and if she wants some. Or just asking whats for breakfast.
>>28709972if she needs anything elseif she needs breakfastif she got your note
>>28709972>anything else to say before you go to see Luciana?Just a nice greeting.
>>28709972This.>>28709082Then get going.
>>28709972ask if she'd like to come along-Luciana's been her friend quite a bit longer
>>28709972Ask if she got our note.
>>28710040>if she got your note"Did you get my text?"Imagine Reinhold in modern times, with a phone. He'd be insufferable.
>>28709972Rub the bridge if our nose. "Politics... I might come to hate that word.""In any case, I was a bit abrupt last night when leaving Luciana, but still, I worry. Might check up on her–when does she usually get up in the morning?"
>>28710040Not the last one, no.
>>28709972"I'm going to go check on Lucianna, would you like to come with?"
>>28709972Book and Breakfast
>>28710045>>28710083These two. She probably wants to make sure her friend is okay too.
>>28710058>>28710076to be fair, she left the first note, ours was only a response
>>28710045This.
>>28709972Clearly anons, we need to bake Luci a cake. And we should get Elena and Karel and Citrine and Grandma to help us bake it.Best plan.
>>28709972>See you later, alligator.Give smug smile, leave while making our coat-tails flap in the nonexistent wind
>>28710120Is that going to be our go-to solution for general emotional stress?
>>28710045>>28710083I don't think Luciana would appreciate that.
>>28710120Fuck, I could really go for some cake or brownies right now actually.
>>28709972"I was planning on checking on her, actually. Would you like to come too?"
>>28710141its in character
>>28710120while we don't have time to bake a cake ourselves we could ask her if she'd like to get some cinnamon rolls before the party
>>28710141She might appreciate it or might not, depending on whether she sees it as us bringing a friend to comfort her or as further rejection.
>>28710141Why wouldn't she? Marie's her best friend.
>>28710120>bake a cake. Is that you solution for every thing?
>>28710141but we don't know that
>>28710171Who doesn't love a good cake?
>>28710171Cakes > swordsCakes are a tool of first resort, swords should always be a tool of last resort.
>>28710196>Cakes are a tool of first resort, swords should always be a tool of last resort.that's fucking beautiful
>>28710163Joke aside, I actually like this plan>>28710140>>28710171Yes. All problems can be solved with cake
So, since Reinhold tends to vent his frustrations through training. I'm just going to justify last night's actions as him being super pissed about the whole thing and doing magic training to get his mind off of it.That bracelet was in full spike mode the entire fucking time after all.
>>28710171IRL, it's mine
>>28710215Same.
>>28710215I think that's everyone's headcanon by this point.
>>28710196I like you.
>>28710215THE BRACELET WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHITPOSTING ALL ALONG!CURSE YOU NICKOLOSS!
>>28710215Matches how he handled Marie's breakdown. Made sure she was okay and then fucking bailed to hit things.
>>28710196We won't be Reinhold Swordbreaker II, after all. We'll be Reinhold the Cakebaker.
>>28710215I'm ok with it>>28710196that's an interesting way of thinking
>>28709698Thierri refusing just means Luciana is available for being married off to someone else, and THAT might be something someone desperately wants to avoid.
>>28710254don't talk bad about Rein's daughteru
>>28710284can't tell the princess that one unfortunately.
>>28710284A fourth country in the alliance? Yeah, Ancellotta would be screwed.Of course, it might be dickery on the part of that elemental up north.
Wait...>Luciana collapses on her bed and cries herself to sleep.And first thing we do in the morning is marching into her suite. Luciana with messy face, and red eyes incoming.
>>28710284>takamaru hired them>he wants to prove his usefulness so the king will extend his time serving as a guard>he just wants to stay close to her and love her in secretcalling it now
>>28710215>>28710254>>28710256One Bracelet to piss them off, One Bracelet to flee themOne Bracelet to waifu none and in the shitposts lose them
>>28710307I'm sure both princesses are aware of that possibility.
>>28710312distinct possibility
>>28710316I would have gone with "leave them" imo
>>28710312good chance Rein will notice then.
>>28710312I'm pretty sure Reinhold would actually be very, very happy to see that, and would tell her so, seeing as the alternative is that she was just straight up capable of going through a traumatic event, ordering a dude's execution on the spot and then waking up the next morning bright and cheerful like nothing had happened.Odds are good Reinhold has run into some people who have gotten to that point during his stint in the army, and I'd imagine he'd be glad to know Luciana isn't one of them.
>>28710362>happyI think relieved is the word you're looking for. No one's happy to see a friend cry.
>>28710314He's already married.
>>28710316Three princesses for the Neckbeards at their computersTwo swordsmen for the Faggots below their rainbowsOne mage for those who desire to see her lewderOne dragon waifu for those in powergaming throes>One Bracelet to piss them off, One Bracelet to flee them>One Bracelet to waifu none and in the shitposts lose themIn the land of Quest where the shitstorms lie
>>28710381what you didn't know Reinhold was an S.
"So, uh..." you begin, "are you okay for food, or would your like me to go get something for you?""They're supposed to be bringing breakfast for me in about a half hour," Marianne replies. "I appreciate the offer, though.""Ah," you say as you make your way for the door."...one last thing before I go," you say."What is it?" Marianne replies, glancing at you."Did you get that note I left for you yesterday?""Yes, I did," Marianne says, smiling slightly. "It was cute."Relieved that your artistic efforts didn't go to waste, you wave goodbye to the Princess and leave the suite that the two of you share, making sure to close the door behind you.Though you're not exactly sure where Luciana's room is, you figure that it would be somewhere close to Elena's... after all, this -is- the wing of the castle where the royal family's residence is. Asking a maid for directions along the way, you find that your suspicion is correct- Luciana's room is two doors down from that of her little sister.Stopping in front of her door, you take a deep breath, and...KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKAfter a few moments, you hear the shuffling of footsteps approaching and then you see the door's handle turn. As it opens, you're met with the familiar sight of Princess Luciana!...but her eyes are -quite- red."R- Reinhold!?" Luciana gasps, not having expected to see you first thing in the morning. "H... how are you doing today?">greet the (other) Princess!
>>28710362>very, very happy to see that, and would tell her soi don't think he'd be exactly "happy" about it, but it would probably earn her some points similar to how marianne apologized for insulting his mother, and she'd probably cheer up a bit after he says that he's glad she's not a totally emotionless sociopath. though i have no clue how to work that into the convo
>>28710402That's why it's so tragicAnd he can justify himself staying there because it feeds his kids and family ;_;
>>28710312get outta mah head, charles
>>28710421"I love you."
>>28710421"I'm good, Luciana." Deep breath. "First thing I want to say is, I'm sorry for leaving you like that right after...you know."
>>28710421>...but her eyes are -quite- red.I know it...
>>28710421>Fine. After sleep, what happened last night may as well have been 10 years ago for me.
>>28710411>powergaming throesI just wanted to make her lay eggs
>>28710421Alright people, we have ONE JOB. Don't screw it up.
>>28710421Just say hi, and ask her if she is alright?
>>28710421"Hi, Luciana. Just checking to make sure you're okay."Take a close look at her eyes."You -are- okay, right?"
>>28710438Not my helmet!
>>28710421while sounding worried say that you're fine and then ask if she's alright
>>28710421I'm fine, I was coming to check on you. Are you ok? Your eyes are red.
>>28710411>Two swordmenYou mean Takamaru and Karel? What about Nicolette?>>28710421This:>>28710440>>28710454
>>28710421"Were you crying?You have been crying.Which guy did this. I'll beat the shit out of him."
>>28710421Luciana, please go out with me!
>>28710439this gets my vote.
>>28710454>>28710460These.
>>28710421>Sneer down at her"Hello -Luciana-. I see you're well. Although I disapprove of your actions last night, I do try to maintain warm relations with my employer's friends. Warmer than your treatment of that innocent kidnapper you coldly executed."Oh jesus don't go with this I'm just kidding I vote for>>28710454
>>28710454seconding this one
>>28710421Ask if she is ok, say we were worried about herApologize for running off, mention that we generally have to work out after combat
>>28710454This.

>>28710466Nico was one of the princesses, but Elena would work better.Hm. "Three warriors" instead of "Two swordsmen" would work better.
>>28710454This, but with worried voice if possible.

>>28710439+1
>>28710421"I wanted to make sure you were okay after last night. In retrospect, It was rude to just vanish like that, even if I had good reason.So... I guess I'm here to apologize."
>>28710466Nico is a speary, obviously>>28710439If this wins, I swear I will keep reading the quest religiously
Guys, we came to check up on her. We can apologize after we find out her crying is all her fault.>>28710454>>28710460These.
>>28710421good morning princess, Fine I suppose. Last night made me realize how much i'm lacking spell wise so I lost myself a bit in training... How are you holding up?
>>28710454This is how you play a characterThere is no need to meta game and say sorry.
>>28710439Okay.
>>28710439This, just because i want to see what happens.

>>28710439I don't think this works that way. But downvoting anyway.

What the fuck is happening here?
>>28710439so i wonder where the lewd mage and tsun party are up to.
Is it happening?I mean of all the times, now?
>>28710570in ravnica attempted murder is illegal but murder is legal
>>28710439No, stop samefagging.
>>28710439I disapprove this. Totally OOC.
>>28710439Okay, yeah. Since Lucifags are being retarded. Probably along with some general retards and samefags. I'm voting against this just to make sure.
>>28710439This is why we can't have nice things.
>>28710439This pelase
and when you thought that sabotaging on this quest was over this happens
>>28710609i was expecting this thread to have an extra dosage of that when people were advocating samefagging last thread and this thread to fight off choices they didn't like.
I don't even know what's going on right now, so here's this thing that is roughly representative of my overwhelming confusion.Collective insanity is some scary shit.
>>28710439Voting to go completely off the rails.No really, I want to see where this goes.
>>28710566>>28710561>>28710555>>28710553>>28710548>>28710541>>28710529>>28710528>>28710509>>28710504>>28710492>>28710490>>28710470>>28710594You guys realize Arch is going to ignore you right?This is worse than the first thread and "Grope the princess."
>>28710454This.Or rather anything but >>28710439
>>28710439Downvoted.
>your face when Sylvie's reaction
>>28710601They were ignoring it since it was a completely stupid suggestion. But now that a bunch of people are samefagging the vote they're starting to vote against it.>>28710618Fuck off.
>>28710611Rien spent the night terrified over threats to Luci. Retroactively.
>>28710630I mostly thought it was funny. Others already made decent suggestions so I don't imagine archelon running with it.
>>28710480oh god, my heart
>>28710629Same reason i voted for it.I want us to just random blurt it out and have no idea why we did it. It will certainly make things interesting
>>28710630I only did it to try to put a swift end to the waifu wars...
>>28710609See, I honestly want to call samefagging, and I'm like 90% sure there is some significant fagging of the same variety going on here... But a lot of the votes are in the same minute.That said, I still hope Arch disregards it, because as much as I am an avid supporter of the Luci route, it really isn't in character.
>>28710439THIS
>>28710650Yeah, I'm a sylviefag at heart, but I saw what might be a way to stop having to say things like that, and I fucking jumped on it
>>28710650Beware, ye who stares into the abyss, lest the abyss stare back into you.
>>28710570If he's successful in his kidnapping, that means that he wasn't caught and thus is free to live his happy kidnappery life.Getting caught means getting deaded, though.
>>28710654I'm not saying all of it is, but at least half those votes are a minute off from another of the votes for the option.
>>28710614>Since Lucifags are being retarded.I don't think Lucifags would do that kind of thing because it is just counter-productive.
>>28710630I really hope Arch will ignore it since it's totally OOC. Because if he doesn't, the quest will get totally shitty and I'm not sure if I want to be a part of it any more.
Rolled 16>>28710621Hey arch, can we just make a rule that up and says no blatantly OOC responses? Most of the shitposting (at least as I see it) is waifu wars and blatantly OOC responses that are not only insane, nonsensical, and idiotic, but detrimental to thread and story.
>post "i love you" as a joke>go make some microwave pizza and have a cig>it wins by a fair amount/tg/ this is why i love youTHIS GON BE GOOD
>>28710668People were making those types of suggestions last time we talked to Luci too. Someone literally made the "I love you" suggestion before too.It's only different now because of the shitstorm from last night. I have trouble believing it isn't anything but trolls.
>>28710675Unless it was part of your plan all along, of course.
>>28710688That's already an unspoken rule.
Luciana, I love you.As a friend.
>>28710439>lel so funnehNo. It's stupid, hurtful, and out of character
>>28710699Don't you have any remorse at all, O you harbinger of shitstorms?
>>28710688an anon in the QTG suggested that all votes come with an explanation for why Reinhold would do an action in character.We shouldn't have to express that rule, since its like a universal for quests, but it seems like we might have to
>>28710650the only thing you did was restart a fire that burned it self out.
>>28710686>>28710688>>28710701See, I'm with this guy >>28710648 I want us to have developed feelings we don't understand and can't really deal with properly because we're emotionally stunted
>>28710699It's already good. People be freaking out.
>>28710699>Implying that Arch took itIf he even considered it, he would have at least called a FINAL DESTINATION vote before proceeding.
>>28710699YouYOUUUUUUUUUUU
>>28710699It got like 12-13 votes and a bunch of downvotes. On top of that this got >>28710454 20 votes.
>>28710654Us randomly blurting it out and having to deal with the aftermath sounds like a ton of fun though. And sure it's IC depending on how you think about it. We've been really worried about her and when she opens the doors after obviously being crying we didn't know what to say, so we just blurted out something random.
>>28710699I'd say to wait until the actual post before saying a specific suggestion "won."
>>28710699except that it didnt win. there are a bunch of people vetoing it. and t is going to be ignored completely because it is a shitpost (i make dumb joke post. i funny hurr.)
>>28710699You are a good man and you should feel awesome.
Rolled 19>>28710703an unspoken rule that was blatantly ignored last thread and is starting to ruin this one.>>28710726We probably do. Shitposting ruined the last thread and is already hurting this one.
>>28710726These past few days have certainly caused me to consider it.That or moving to another site.I seriously don't want to though, so please cut the retardation.
>>28710734>thinking it will lock us in a route at all or even advancePretty sure it'll just be something silly
>>28710753Please move to another site. It's getting unbearable
>>28710699i forgot to vote for it, was browsing some other things.sorry man.
Rolled 4>>28710650>let's stop world wars!>by nuking every continent that can sustain life repeatedly and then nuking Antarctica repeatedly in order to flood the world?>YESthis is similar to what you are doing.
>>28710726This makes sense. For an unspoken rule, please make it spoken, and go with this. Or else we get this "I love you" crap.
>>28710753Explanations might be interesting at least, and it'll give you more to work with when you're writing.
>>28710753Just make the rest of the quest in Twine or something if you want to do that. If you moved to a different site it probably wouldn't be anonymous and you'd make the waifu arguments worse as people would all have names to attached to the opinions.
>>28710753 join tgchan!it's fun there!
>>28710736It got 19 votes>>28710454Got 16it got 3 downvotes before the tally closedThat makes them tied strangely enough
>>28710753Trolls feed on attention. Only way to get rid of them is to completely ignore their suggestions, not even argue with them perhapsRole of arbiter is clearly falling on you as OP, but you can't honestly expect they will disappear completely or not prompt at least a few responses, considering how popular the quest is.tl;dr just ignore stupid posts.
>>28710753It was never a problem with the site. This is what happens when you encourage waifufags, and discourage people who try to act logically (under the label of "powergamers") in favor of genre gamism.
>>28710753Yeah, you might want to start lending more weight to well-though out posts over number of votes.
>>28710753Arch make it happenDon't enforce some no fun allowed rule. you can easily justify it IC and we can have a lot of fun with it.
>>28710753>These past few days have certainly caused me to consider it.Demand that all votes have to be in common meter and rhyme.> I'm here to see if you're o-kay,> good princess Luciane,> I'm sorry about yesterday,> something something -an
Rolled 11>>28710729developing feelings is good and all, but doing so in a way that is blatantly out of character and inspires shitstorms is the perfect wrong way to do that.The last time something happened that Reinhold couldn't ignore or understand, he had a full PTSD meltdown that resolved in one princess hating herself. Our track record for misunderstanding things we cannot ignore is about as good as last nights kidnapping attempt.
>>28710793Actually, this on tgchan would work pretty well, if only because samefagging is impossible.
All those things you consider doing would only make things worse. These last two threads were worse than usual but that wasn't without a reason, and since everyone is already agitated same things that we could ignore before bother us more now, but best thing to do is try to keep going and things'll settle down.
>>28710699This. This is you isn't it.
>>28710802Please no power gaming is almost as bad as the waifu fags and we end up in the stores longer than needing to.
>>28710802Don't even start. Waifu and powergaming faggotry are both to blame for grinding down the QM's patience.
it was a fucking joke and nobody was going to take it seriously, stop something out about this
>>28710799>lel i don't like why they like so they're trolls xDGo back to tumblr kiddo
>>28710802>blaming the shit on archelonIt happens with any really long-running quest, in different varieties. People get too serious about shit, or just butthurt, and it turns into a mess.
>>28710825>samefagging is impossible*samefagging is slightly more time intensiveFTFY
>>28710822>something something -anWait, "Luciane" ends in a -an"? What about the e?
>>28710753New site, please
Everyone back in your corners and wait for Arch's post, no point continuing this discussion.
>>28710858Agreed. I'm heading off to bed. Please don't mar the quest further, guys.
>>28710834>>28710836Don't get me wrong, that shit can sure as hell get out of hand too. But this is the other extreme.
>>28710753Shadow Quest was a lot like this in some of the midpoint threads, but it got better.Don't worry Arch, it always gets better.
>shit storm over a joke>shit storm over a choice winning you didn't like>not just rolling with it and having funCan you guys get more fucking entitled?Holy shit this isn't going to lock us into her route or ruin the quest. It's just something amusing to do.
>>28710837sperging out* autocorrect is killing me
>>28710849Wait, are you able to samefag on tgchan? I've never managed it.
>>28710753I would like you not to go Archelon and I think it would be best to enforce the rule but it's your choiceI'll just have to bear it
>>28710878THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.
>>28710856Her real name is Luciana but that didn't fit the meter. So Lucy-anne for that purpose of that rhyme.
>>28710824Fair enough. I just wanted the shitstorm to be happening in the quest instead of about the quest.
>>28710753I'd say for archive reasons keep it on /tg/It'll get better with time.
I honestly thought we were doing better. Then this happens.>>28710881It's still shitposting.
>>28710858Agreed, nothings being accomplished except pissing arch off, and I'd prefer if the posts he gives are spent writing this pseudo-VN, not calling out waifufags on their bullshit.
>>28710878Thing is, SQ's players had to learn the hard way to not make stupid decisions. Arch hasn't gotten to a point in his plot where he can punish us for them.
>>28710878What about the recent thread with the Vog?
>>28710891I've never tried it either but it wouldn't be too difficult to proxy, router reset, or message friends and tell them to vote. The poster-ID is not an infallible method.
>>28710912I am not bringing that argument in here. Stop.
Guys, i get you have your waifus and your feelings are invested and shit.BUT THIS IS FOR FUNSilly and fun things every now and then aren't worth starting a shitstorm over and ruining the thread. Just take a step back and try to make the threads enjoyable for yourselves and other people!
>>28710898
>>28710856It's LucianA, but e is silent in french at the end of a word.So it's Maree-ah-n', not Marian-uh or Maree-an-ne.If you go by >>28710899 with Lucie-Anne, it's correct.
>>28710881It's kind of funny in the thread, but I seriously would rather NOT do it in the narrative since it's unfunny and retarded thing to do in character, and really out of place.>entitledI'd say an idiot who makes a 'funny' joke and demands it to be incorporated is the entitled one here.
>>28710902I'm okay with jokes. I don't think the guy who made the joke is to blame.I blame people who take the joke and run with it/violently denounce the joker.Like >>28710475. This is the right thing to do at a joke suggestion. Silently fume or chuckle at it, and then ignore it.
>>28710902>i don't like it so it's shitpostingNo anon, no it isn't.
>>28710912Comparatively minor shitstorm.
fuck you guysthe issue here isn't some guy suggesting something dumb, it's everyone losing their shit about it. just laugh and move on, seriously.
>>28710937>BUT THIS IS FOR FUNPlease stop using this excuse. It's not fun.
>>28710937>I can shitpost as long as I have fun doing it
>>28710948Maybe arch could do a few omake-style gags involving stupid dialogue choices?
>>28710881Nope. Anything people like is the cause for self-righteous shitposting ad infinitum. This is the future archelon chose.>>28710902>It's still shitposting.No, that's what you're doing.
>>28710881it is not even funny in or out of character. it is just a dumb shitpost, not something that you can roll with it and have fun.
>>28710960>shitposting is anything i don't agree withsure thing anon
This is why i always reply to joke answers seriously.
>>28710966That's what both of you are doing. Now shut up and let the QM write in peace.
>>28710937I'm pro Lucianna and would have liked to see her get to know Reinhold a bit more, but I think the comment itself is a completely insensitive and out of character thing for Rein to say to somebody that he knows has feelings for him.
"Hey, Luciana," you say. "I just wanted to check to make sure that you're okay."...and then you get a good look at the princess's red eyes."You -are- okay, right?" you ask."Ah- er- um-" Luciana stammers as she realizes that her eyes are in fact bloodshot. "Ehehe... last night was so stressful, and I didn't exactly get much sleep, that's all," she says, tryihg to play it off."Uh...""D- don't worry about me though, I'm a big girl who can handle herself when bad things happen!" she says, shaking her fist in the air and giving a weak smile."U- ummm... I'd rather not have anyone else worrying about my appearance," Luciana says, fidgeting. "Rather than standing out here in the hallway, you can always come inside my room to talk if you want...">yes>no
>>28710994Double yes
>>28710994>>yes
>>28710994>yes
>>28710994yesnow you are just fucking with the players arch
>>28710960>>28710902>hey someone did something we don't like!>let's whine about it, be annoying, and call them shitpostersThis is shitposting>>28710966This dude gets itThink we can do anything more with our magic bracelet?
>>28710994>Yes
>>28710994>>yesSure.
>>28710994Yes, I think Reinhold would realize that there's more bothering Luciana than she's letting on, and this sort of conversation shouldn't happen in the open.
>>28710994>yesInb4 omg routelock
>>28710994I want to go in and comfort her, so yes. Hopefully this won't cause a scandal or anything like that.
>>28710994>yeslets be polite people
>>28710994Yes, don't make scene on corridor.
>>28710994Yeah, sure.
>>28710994>yesNo sense in gabbing in the hallway about personal Princess business.
>>28710994>yesBecause our FRIEND Luciana is not feeling well and we will try to console her.
>>28710994>yesso what are the chances this is gonna be a repeat of the fountain?
>>28710937We have a narrative story.If arch took every 'fun' decision, Rienhold would have been executed for groping the princess.You want to have a lolrandom quest? Go run one.
>>28710994>letting the entitled babbys winI am disappointed arch. Truly disappointed
>>28710994>"D- don't worry about me though, I'm a big girl who can handle herself when bad things happen!" she says, shaking her fist in the air and giving a weak smile.Oh my god you are so cute right now.
>>28710994>yes"I'd love to come in. Though I don't think we can blame the uninvited guests we met last night for your current state."We're not an idiot, we know that she was casual about the assassins, that this wouldn't affect her much, so it has to be something else. Namely us.
>>28710994Why the hell would we talk out in the corridor?
>>28710994Yes, but lets try to keep bullshit to a minimum this time, okay guys?
>>28711041At very least 101%
>>28710994if i say no will it get 20 replies and cause a shitstorm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjuqTPxy0Mgpgq at this very moment
>>28711062If i had another microwave pizza i would totally do it
>>28711062maybe, but the real shit storm will be later where the fountain scene repeats with the princess in her room.
>>28711045If he wanted to let the entitled babies win, he would have said "I Love you". He simply let the answer that got the most votes -While- staying in character and not being pants on head retarded win.
Unanimous decision. WOW.
So what would happen if sylvie saw us leave the room?
>>28711048we know that she acted casual about them, for all we know it could have been just a tough face since she can't let the help see the royalty cry
>>28711078>i don't like your choice so you have to be retarded!>my choice is the only valid one!>i promise i'm not entitled!Well okay anon, whatever you say
>>28711062Why ask when you could just try it?I wouldn't count it as a full-on shitstorm, but there'd be a lot of butthurt.
>>287110482presumptuous4meask her what's up, don't assume this shit
>>28710994>noShe's obviously plotting something.
>>28711088See:>>28710637
>>28711083There isn't really much of a reason other than spite to say no at this point. I can't thing of any reason why he would refuse in character.
>>28711083people are getting sick of bullshit, but it won't last long if this conversation is going the direction i'm dreading its going in.
>>28711083Fuck that.>>28710994No.
>>28711100this has my voteLET IT COMMENCE
>>28710994Yes. She clearly needs the comforting.
>>28711088Nothing. She'd worry about it. She'd probably try to ask about it while trying to make it look like its not important. We'd tell her we were just talking.
>>28711100I'm sorry, you have no power here.
>>28711089This has been going on for weeks and she wasn't perturbed in the least.Reinhold isn't dense.
>>28711083Well, would you really make a girl looking like that talk out in the hallway or somewhere else after just waking up?There's no reason besides spite to say no.
>>28710994Yes.
>>28711120>I'm sorry, you have no power here.>I'm sorry, you have no>you have no>novote confirmed
>>28711120Would you look at those eyes. They SCREAM authority. I'd say he has quite the power.
We should have brought a cake.
>>28710994Time for a struggle snuggle!
>>28711120His cowboy eyes see things normal humans cannot.Ignore him at your peril.
>>28710994>yes []>no []>OTHER [X] "I love you"
>>28711120>I'm sorry, you have "NO" power here.He's clearly exercising his "No" power, as is his right.
I think Luciana is plotting by trying to play weak so we"ll sympathize with her
>>28711183Take your autism elsewhere
>>28711187He's obviously joking.
>>28711187I thought she was a plotter?
>>28711183No. She wanted to be with us eternally, even unto death. The assassins failed so now she's going to murder suicide.
>>28711203
>>28711201She is, but she's not a completely dishonest jerk.
>>28711183>I think Luciana is plotting by trying to play weak so we"ll enter her lair, so that the skeleton controlling her can burst out and kill us.Fix'd.Think about it. Under all that flesh there is a skeleton just waiting for it's moment to strike.Skeletons man, not even once.
>>28711201Where did the idea that Luciana was some great mastermind plotter come from?In the context of her kingdom she seems like she's strict and fearsome, but I don't recall much actual plotting.
>>28711183agreed.
>>28711187>>28711211My god. You guys can't take a joke at all. Yes, yes. The crying part was clearly Luciana being aware that Reinhold's voices were watching her.
>>28711203>>28711183You're both wrong, this is obviously a ploy by Monique to bind the countries together so his border guard position is expanded and his family gains power.
>>28711208I cannot recall Luciana ever lying or being a jerk.
>>28711219Meanwhile Monique is in the corner of a room somewhere thrashing around and drooling.
>>28711219Luciana being meta-aware would be one hell of a plot twist though wouldn't it?
>>28711221...He lost the tournament on purpose! It was part of his plan all along!
>>28711208>>28711211stop falling for baits man, holy shit.
>>28711221>>28711236I'm dying of laughter
>>28711236Sacrificing his grandfather's sword to the scion of Eschenwald was a stroke of genius. Nobody will suspect him of double play now.
>>28711221A plan that convoluted and over-complicated, it sounds like it was made by a group of belligerent voices arguing in his head who can't agree on anything.
>>28711221MONIQUE CAN HEAR US.STOP TALKING YOU FOOL.
>>28711269MONIQUE A SHIT
>>28711261Sure we can agree on stuff!Like uhm...Uhm...Like that we never agree on anything!
>>28711236He knew of Reinhold's background and let him win to get him a stable job where he could grow as a person and gather friends to be happy. He only acts like a douche to make Rein look good.
>>28711290Bullshit.
>>28711290I disagree, We can agree on things.
>>28711290YES WE DO SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>28711290We can agree to disagree. Or we can agree on spellcasting. Or we can agree on being nice.
>>28711269w'v 2 tlk lk dat, so dat he cnt undrst& us, yo
>>28711290We agree all the time you... you... double shitposter!
>>28711322>being this cutePlease stop
>>28711261Clearly our shitposting was just a white noise cover for Monique's real plan:>1) Kill Luciana to destabilize the relations between the countries, leading to chaos in the borderlands>2) This will bring adventurers to the border lands>3) Including Rana, designated dragonwaifu>4) seduce Rana with his noble beauty and ascend to dragonhood>5) Laugh at the pitiful worms who once called you the Flower of the Borderlands.>6) Knock up Michiko and show Marcel how a REAL man handles his women.And you all fell for it hook line and sinker
>>28711290unanimous vote on that spell last thread.so i disagree with you.
"Sure, no problem," you say."O- okay," Luciana says, smiling. "Umm, come on in... I like to think that I keep my room rather clean, so it shouldn't be too offensive," she says as she leads you into her room.After Luciana closes the door behind you, you look around her room... You're rather surprised by the fact that it's several times larger than even your suite, but then you remember that she's a princess and of course her room would be this spacious.You kind of feel bad for Elena in comparison though... her room isn't nearly this large.It seems to be divided into several smaller parts, and you can see her bed peeking through an open door off to the side... makes sense, you guess. Having the area where you entertain guests and the one where you actually sleep being separate.This part is lined with several bookcases and a large table. While you're taking in the sights, Luciana walks up to said table and pulls out a seat for you."Umm... feel free to take a seat and relax," the princess says with a nervous smile."Heh, thanks," you reply as you do as she asked.>[1/?]
>>28711331No
>>28711334Monique quest part 2 when.
>>28711322>>28711361What do you call this thing? I need a name for my new folder.
>>28711342Luci's pc is currently rubbing themselves with flags. >themfelvesSo captcha has a speech impediment now...
>>28711367It's a Pucchi.
>>28711342how does the room smell like compared to marie?
>>28711362I think Arch should just use monique quest as a vent so we can get all the bullshit out of our heads. The idea of monique going up to random noblewoman and visibly shaking as a thousand voices urge him to confess his love is hilarious.
>>28711370>PucchiYou mean Puchi.
>>28711369Fuck the flags. Just be the friendly neighbourhood swordie.
>>28711367I swear we've been over this before, but that's a Puchi, from Puchimas, which is a really sillycute spinoff of Idolmaster.
>>28711372That's really creepy. Like holy shit anon. I know that it'd be obvious in person, but the fact that YOU are asking that is hella weird.
>>28711384Yeah, we definitely need a Monique quest.
>>28711384I think monique PoV every 4-5 threads would be wonderful.We could get all of our shitposting and jackassery out of the way while controlling him. then return to being good Reinhards
DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?Sorry for the 40k faggotry.
>>28711370>>28711389>>28711402Thank you, anons.
>>28711403Yeah, that "Anonymous" faggot is a fucking creep.
>>28711421Its ok, I got a chuckle out of it.
>>28711372Yeah let's find some of her dirty socks too and sniff them
>>28711399What the actual shit does anyone in this thread have reading comprehension. Luci's pc. Meaning not fucking us, someone that's imaginary/exists in an alternate dimension.
>>28711417That would be too frequent.
>>28711402Is there also a Puchimenos?
>>28711342>[2/2]Once you're seated, Luciana pulls a chair close to you and sits down herself."I'd like to apologize for last night," Luciana says, sighing deeply. "I know I'm rather unpleasant when I get mad, and that probably scared you off... but, um... I really appreciate that you came here to check on me," she says, rubbing her bloodshot eyes.>how do you respond?
>>28711453Well aren't you cheeky. On the outside chance you were serious for some bizarre reason, no
>>28711467"I love you"
>>28711472Not this shit again...
>>28711467Apologize in turn for just running off like that.
>>28711467What? That's not why I left. I was just worried about Marianne. You handled yourself well and you have nothing to be apologizing for.
>>28711467"There... there's no need to say that, Lucianna. I wish to apologize myself- leaving you in that state. My mind was not in the right place and I needed to cool down. For that I am sorry."
>>28711467>Apologize for what? I'm a soldier and didn't exactly live a sheltered life, so I'm pretty desensitized to that stuff.
>>28711441There's a lot of people with autism here, but I think in this case the problem was actually on your end. Your English is kind of poor. Not horrible, but just wonky enough to cause some trouble. In addition to punctuation (a question should end in ?, for example) you didn't capitalize PC. That exacerbates the root problem, which is that the root notion is weird as fuck. First of all, she wouldn't h ave a PC, she would be a PC, and second, flags aren't really subjective.
>>28711467"I wasn't scared off, I was mad and needed to blow off steam. I would've killed that guy myself if I could've. I should be apologizing to you for running off like that." >>28711472Stop
>>28711467"No problem, it was a bit surprising but it didn't really bother me. I need to apologize for running off like I did as well, the whole 'attempted kidnapping' thing had me a bit high-strung and angry I guess. I probably should have come back after I checked on Marianne."
>>28711467"Uh, no problem, you more or less did the right thing for the situation. You didn't scare me off, I just had to check on Marianne since I'm HER bodyguard."
>>28711494This
>>28711467"I'm the one who should apologize for just leaving you like that, but I had to make sure marianne was safe and after that I wound up venting on a training dummy even though I should have checked on you."
>>28711467"It's alright. And sorry for just leaving you like that, but I was actually worried about Marianne."Also, is it common for people being summarily executed after being apprehended? I mean, he would have gotten executed anyway, but maybe things like last rites or something...>>28711472please stop.
>>28711467>>28711483>>28711498voting this
>>28711483>>28711498>>28711505Combine these.
>>28711467No, i'm the one who needs to apologize. I'm sorry for running off like that, everything happened so fast and i just needed time to think. You handled yourself amazingly... but are you really okay with your situation? It must be rough being the target of so many kidnappings.
>>28711467"It didn't, actually. I was just worried about Marie is all.If anything I should be apologizing for running off and not coming back."
>>28711467You didn't scare me off, though it was a little weird actually seeing you seriously mad for once. I actually went to go check on Marianne, but decided against going back to see you. I figured you might want to be alone. Or something. Women are such frightening and knowledgeable creatures.
>>28711512This
>>28711467"Scared me off? Don't worry about that, I was a soldier before I was a royal guard. He committed a crime and paid the price."
>>28711467"Don't worry about it, it'd take a lot more than that to scare me off.""You should see what Marianne does to -her- attempted kidnappers."
>>28711441Learn English, nigger.
>>28711483This
>>28711467"It's okay, I just got a sudden urge to study magic alone in my room."Seriously: >>28711520
>>28711467"Scare me?? Um, I am sorry if I gave that impression, I didn't mean to. You're not scary. I mean, I've handled much scarier princesses before. It's just that the... aggravation yesterday made me go off the rails a bit, and I got really worried, I'm not really used to being a bodyguard yet, this was the second time I had to do any protecting and last time was a mindless beast with much more help and all I could think of was that I needed to get more magic and I started to train that clay projectile spell right in front of Marianne inside the room and she threw me out and um. I am rambling."
>>28711467Apologize for leaving right after the attack. Explain that, as Marie's guardbody, we got paranoid and that we couldn't leave her unattended
>>28711467>>28711526 This along with >>28711520
>>28711518>>28711520These. Worried about Marie/needed to vent.
>>28711526>>28711512One of these
>>28711505Thirded. This reads pretty well.
>>28711494>>Apologize for what? I'm a soldier and didn't exactly live a sheltered life, so I'm pretty desensitized to that stuff.Seconding. It's kinda silly she'd think that
>>28711467"Well you did get a bit out there, but I legit was just worried about business, not running from you or nothing."
>>28711526>>28711494Combine these two
>>28711483>>28711498Combination of these two, please.
>>28711479>>28711490DON'T just act like we were all in the wrong and she was a perfect angel, though. We can apologize but don't try to be a "nice guy".>>28711494Nothing positive will come of this.
>>28711526seconded
>>28711579What do you mean? It's saying that her 'scaring' us is pretty ridiculous
>>28711526>i just needed time to think.we needed to check on marianne, but otherwise good
>>28711526Mention having to see how marie was and it's perfect
>>28711551>Finally collect Len/Ren picture to the point that I'm not seeing any new ones>Sad that I'm out of fresh cute to collect from PGQ threads>Ilya pictures!You make me happy, anon.
Maybe later, but we should reassure we don't hate her.After she says it, of course. Same thing we said to Marianne, basically.
>>28711602"I've met terrible people, you aren't one of them."Right?
>>28711526>>28711512A hybrid of these would be good
>>28711467>>28711483>>28711494These please.
>>28711614seconded
Running on about five hours of sleep a night for the past week has finally caught up to me, so I'm going to call it a night here.I'm not in as terrible a mood as I after last night's thread, so I suppose you guys toned it down some... so I guess I should thank you for that. While I'm far too stubborn to just end this thing outright, I'd much rather not be forced to do anyting drastic just to keep this thing enjoyable to write.Next thread might be tomorrow night, I'm not sure. And to those who actually tried to keep things civil tonight, thanks for playing.
>>28711497I'll give you that a) I should have capitalized PC and b) should have used player in stead of PC, but still, the subject of the sentence is luciana, not "us" or .And I'm aware I completely cocked up the grammar on my second post. After I t was up I want "oh, shit, that's a disgrace."
>>28711602Really, these princesses, they have too much self-awareness and too little self-confidence in a strange way...
>>28711467>>28711535>>28711526These please
>>28711620See you tomorrow Arch, thanks for running.
>>28711620Night man, thanks for the thread.
>>28711620We love you, arc. In our own very special and often retarded way.
>>28711620Good night, arch. See ya next time.
>>28711620Sleep well.>>28711621Proofreading, man, have you heard of it?
>>28711620Thanks Arch, we'll try to keep it down.
>>28711620Take it easy, archelon.Thanks for the thread.
>>28711620I love you.
>>28711620Goodnight OP. You a good man.
>>28711620G'night. See you tomorrow. Conversation with Luci is gonna be good.I'm hoping she breaks down just a little and comes out of her princess shell just a bit seeing as how she is laready vulnerable at the moment.
>>28711620You an cool bro OP
>>28711620Thanks for running Archelon
>>28711620Obligatory celebratory end-of-thread puchigif.
>>28711620G'Night Arch. We'll try to keep on improving things next thread
>>28711637>proofreadingWhat do you think I am, some sort of English major faggot?
>>28711663Which idol would you hold hands with
>>28711677No, i guess you are some kind of a caveman.
>>28711682Surely that's a gag post, since you already posted best girl.
>>28711701All girls are best, but everyone has a favourite.
>>28711620Remember archelon, we love you.
>>28711620If we go for the true ending, can we get you as our waifu?
>>28711629That's honestly what makes them interesting and my favorite characters in this quest, along with a lot of other reasons. They play each other off people well and while it looks like they would be opposite, they're both the same in the way. Both of their personalities and characterizations are pretty fun to watch.
>>28711621Well if you acknowledge that you're posting shittily, why blame others for having trouble understanding you?
>>28711677Yes. You... you English major double faggot.
>>28711708But there IS a best girl, and it's Chihaya.
>>28711722i think the insult you're looking for is English double major faggot
>>28711736Don't be like that now Takane is just as good.
>>28711719You're right, I am in the wrong for expecting someone to take the time to actually read a post and understand what it means, rather than just giving it a quick skim and then making an assumption about what it means, on the Internet.
>>28711714>>28711629Reinhold is pretty much the same way too.
>>28711737No, my intent was to call him an English major who happened to be a double faggot too.
>>28711736Negro I will fight you. Just joking, Takane, Azusa, and Chihaya are all tied depending on whether you prefer Space Princess, Ara Ara, or DFC.
I'm thinking we should find Citrine and Marcus after this. We need to get to know our step-brother.
>>28711778brother-in-law*Confusing my legal brother terms here.
>>28711778We'll see them at the ball, so the question is whether we have anything better to do.
>>28711794We can't practice magic because of mana reserves not recharging. So other than maybe get some more info about Luciana's kidnappers we're just hanging out until before 2.
>>28711647I just had a humorous thought that this was in fact all that you could say and you had some horrifuck kind of condition that converts everything you want to say into 'I love you', while internally you're screaming for people to understand you.
