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.You've just introduced Rana and Reya to the others, and Reya seems to be a bit starstruck... but fortunately, he managed to not embarrass himself. Sylvie was nice enough to prepare a plate of food for you, so you've sat down with the others so as to CONSUME it......but the location of your seat seems to be potentially dangerous.>Congratulations, 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/1Vhj4DJvList and descriptions of the spells shown thus far:http://pastebin.com/2c9y2sDMTwitter: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>>>>
Awwwww yisssss!
Glancing across the table, you see Luciana smiling at you in that weird flirting way that she does. And next to you is Sylvie, who looks kind of embarrassed by this whole thing."Umm... I tried to find you some turkey legs, but they didn't have any," Sylvie says with an apologetic smile. "But the lasagna looked pretty good, so I thought you might like that...""It definitely smells good," you reply. "Thanks, Sylvie."You then try a forkful, and... it tastes every bit as good as it smells!"Wow, this really is good," you say to Sylvie as you give her a thumbs-up. "Thanks for looking out for me, I really appreciate it.""Ehehe... it was nothing," she replies, smiling back at you.While you would certainly like to just focus on your food, Luciana seems to be making eyes at you while you eat. Considering her personality, you're kind of afraid that she'll start trying to play footsie with you or something...Time to talk about something that'll hopefully distract her from whatever mischief she has planned!"So, did anything happen while I was away?" you ask."Not really," Nicolette replies. "Just a lot of arguing about what to eat.""Honestly..." Marianne sighs. "You are the only people I know who could get in such a heated argument over something so stupid.""You looked just as disappointed as I was when you found out that there weren't any turkey legs to eat here," Nicolette teases."Y- yes, but I didn't go so far as to get into an argument," Marianne replies, slightly flustered.>chime in>let the girls do as they will
>>28914232>>let the girls do as they will
>Luciana starts playing footsies with us>Sylvie sees this and either fights her feet away or starts rubbing our thighswhile every one in the thread screams much TRAUMA am I the only one thinks something like this would happen.
>>28914232>chime in"Doesn't your dad like turkey legs too, Marianne?"
>>28914232Laugh
>>28914232>chime inDid someone say turkey legs?
>>28914232>chime in"I though those were more your dad's thing."
>>28914268>>28914299These work.
>>28914232>"Y- yes, but I didn't go so far as to get into an argument," Marianne replies, slightly flustered.Oh marie"Spaghetti again. You gonna go nine plates again, Rana?"
>>28914232>>28914256We must make this happen.
>>28914299This.
>>28914232>>chime in>>28914256and this needs to happen now
>>28914232>>let the girls do as they willand stop overthinking stuff and just enjoy the fun while it lasts.
>>28914232>>let the girls do as they willStay out of this.
>>28914232>chime in
>>28914299This twice.
>>28914232Let them do as they will. And somebody please post the chart, I'm on my phone.
>>28914232>let the girls do as they will
>>28914321Seconding.
>>28914299Going with this.
>>28914232>>let the girls do as they willalso, try to keep up with ranaalso, just what is footsie
>>28914462It's when a mommy foot and a daddy foot toe-fuck eachother.
>>28914232>chime inNo need to just clam up.
>>28914476If we don't talk, I'm worried Lucy is going to try to do things that make us talk.
>>28914462>what is footsie
>>28914232>chime inFood is a safe topic. Stay on that.
>>28914256I would be laughing my ass off at this.
>>28914502touching each others feet.
>>28914505Agreed. Letting the conversation drift might be a bad idea.
>>28914502>>28914524It's a form of flirting under the table
>>28914524>feet touching is flirtingno wonder i've never gotten a girl, i don't understand crap
>>28914299>>28914505These. Keep ourselves occupied.
>>28914546>>28914524I was mocking that guy.
>>28914502>>28914462
>writing
Footsie is the worst thing. The worst. Especially when you're just trying to have a nice dinner/study session.
>>28914574And I was being useful
>>28914604>>28914579
>>28914665I'm confused. What is this supposed to be?
>>28914256Funnier still would be if Luci's leg got lost and started playing footsie with Sylvie's, and Sylvie thinks it's actually our foot playing footsie with her, and so she starts to play back, and before you know it you have both Luci and Sylvie getting all flustered while Rein sits there, obliviously enjoying his lasagna.
>>28914688looks like the early draft of some disney movie scene
>>28914696wouldn't she noticed that the feet were facing the opposite direction.(then again she could be too fluster to noticed.)
>>28914696this has to happen
>>28914696The look on both of their faces when Reinhold gets up to get more food and they realize what was happening.
>>28914712Its hypnotizing as fuck.>>28914745The question is how would arch pull this off/
>>28914723>(then again she could be too fluster to noticed.)That's basically what I was figuring. Knowing Sylvie she'd get so caught off guard she wouldn't stop to think of such a detail and would just be happy to reciprocate.And then Rein gets up to get another plate while the girls keep at it, only for them to realize he just left.. and then there'd be a loooong pause as it dawns on them what they just did.
>>28914696Yeeeesssss.
>>28914753Haha, dammit, you read my mind (see: >>28914760)
>>28914785
6 minutes without a post in PQG? Heresy!
>>28914937Post cute girls.
>>28914937It's common once Archelon starts writing. The guy built his magical realm over a decade, you can wait for a few minutes, can't you?
>>28914973Is that Reinhold in the background, failing to carry hatboxes?
>>28914973VICTORIAAAAAAAAAA
>>28914973>>28914999Holy shit, it looks just like him!
"Turkey legs?" you say, turning to Marianne. "I thought that was more your father's thing.""...is it so strange that my father and I would like the same foods?" Marianne replies, blushing slightly."Marianne's a daddy's girl who loves all the same stuff as him," Nicolette says, the toothy grin on her face clashing with her otherwise elegant appearance."...and you're not, Nico?" Sir Gregory replies, shooting his daughter a sly glance. "Why, if I was to list off all the things that the two of us shared in common...""D- dammit, cut that shit out," Nicolette mumbles as she stuffs her face full of lasagna."You really shouldn't tease people if you don't want to be teased yourself, you know," Sylvie says to her friend."Oh, I don't know about that..." Luciana laughs. "I've always thought that it was one of her cute points. Don't you agree, Mr. Reinhold?">[1/?]
>>28914999Sure, why not?
>>28915046Luci.Luci what are you doing.Dont drag rein into this.Luci. Staph.
>>28914973Do what you want, I'm posting turtles.
>>28915046Stuff face and give Luci a blank look.
>>28915046Agree, this will stop her teasing.If we hide she will continue.
>>28915111
>>28915144
>>28915111So do frogs ride on turtles' backs often?
>>28915111>>28915144I like Turtles.
>>28915046We have entered a realm of social combat for which we are not prepared.
>>28915170Well, of course, they don't have a permit and public transport kind of suck for them.
>>28915114I'm going to support this.
>>28915142>>28915186Which is why i agree with this anon, if we let her go on then her teasing will get worse.
>>28915209I'm done for now.
>>28915186Please, Reinhold grew up in a brothel, he should be well versed in bitchcraft.
>>28914973>>28915034>>28915036>>28915048>>28915111Yes lets all hit the bump limit early so the thread disappears by morning. It's not like I'm going to finish reading the second half of this thread after going to sleep.
>>28915046Do ostriches exist in this setting Archelon?>>28915278He should be able to translate the language of noble women who take jabs at people while being nice.
>>28915278There are dark arts against which no man is ever prepared, no matter his background. Only a charm, like his superb exposed chest, could ever protect our hero now.
>>28915046Why do these conversations always loop back around to you? You just kind of stare blankly at Luciana... but then Sir Gregory speaks up, saving you from having to participate in the awkwardness."So... Ranasarima, was it?" Sir Gregory says. "You and your brother are half-dragon adventurers or something?""'Rana' is just fine," she replies through a mouthful of food. "I know that my name's rather long... and while my brother's a half, I myself am a full-blooded dragon," she says with pride."...huh," he nods. "How old are you, if I'm not prying too much?""Asking a girl her age? How f-" Rana begins to say, but is stopped by an angry elbow jab from her brother. "I'm seventeen, and Reya is sixteen.""That young?" Sir Gregory says, arching an eyebrow. "I'm surprised that your parents would even allow you to do this, considering how protective dragons are of their children.""Yes, well..." she sighs, "Our father said that I wasn't allowed to play adventurer unless Reya came along as a chaperone. >[2/?]
>>28915310
>>28915310What a trivial complaint, as if you can't read it on the archive like everyone else does if they've missed the thread.
>>28915313>Do ostriches exist in this setting Archelon?Yes.
>>28915310suptg exists anon
>>28915359ostrich legs
>>28915310Dude, there's no way we're not hitting bump limit. Just look it up on foolz.Also, I'm saging personally. There's not much point in bumping a quest if you're not the QM.
>>28915310You do know everything is archived, right?http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestIt's in the OP of every thread.
>>28915310just keep it open and on auto-refresh like I do
>>28915390why isn't he putting syrup in between the pancakes?
>>28915350>>28915367>>28915402Excuse me if I prefer reading it on 4chan. You know how when you put your mouse over a link it shows what they were responding to without having to click. Well that doesn't happen on suptg. And, it's really annoying.
>>28915502>being this petty>mfw

>>28915585This quest has helped me be in line with Archelon's sleeping schedule even if i have morning classes.(i hope he gets morning classes instead of afternoon ones.)
>>28915585>>not being glorious european masterracewhat does timezone have to do with this
>>28915328>[3/3]"It really doesn't make sense, especially considering how much stronger I am than him," Rana says, pouting."It's because you lack common sense," Reya replies, rolling his eyes. "Or did you already forget that the entire reason that we met Reinhold and the others in the first place was because of your annoying habit of getting lost?""Psh, it's not like I can't take care of myself...""...yeah, I definitely understand his reasoning," Sir Gregory says with a chuckle. "My sons are the same way, my youngest is always trying to keep his brother out of trouble.""I feel kind of bad for Bernard sometimes," Nicolette laughs."And I feel kind of bad for Sylvie sometimes," he replies with a smirk.>talk about a thing?
so is gosick any good? please sell me on it
>>28915624>(i hope he gets morning classes instead of afternoon ones.)>implying he doesn't plan his life around thisI never took morning classes as an undergrad.
>>28915640Take bets on the painting?
>>28915640Ask Gregory about his adventures.
>>28915660I did.My first semester.Never again.
>>28915632It's 7:30 here in the morning here and I have my last tests before the holidays today.>>28915640>"I was like that with my sister too. Even today she still gets me out of trouble sometimes."
>>28915640Talk about art.>>28915660Eh i pick my classes out of how easy it is for me to go to them.>>28915692The way the king talked about it and the way our brother in law talked about our match, its probably us beating the pretty boy.(i really wanted to be on good terms with him before this)
>>28915640Sir Gregory, where should I be during the party? Should I stand at attention by the door, follow Princess Marianne, or mingle and intervene if the situation calls for it?
>>28915718This
>>28915656go read the novels
>>28915640questionare we at the same table as emilio right now? cause reya seems like he'd be a great influence on him
>>28915718Going with this.
>>28915692this is a pretty good idea. it gets everyone involved, lets discussion happen, and is an all-around friendly optiontherefore, something horrifying will come of it let's see what it is
>>28915718>It's 7:30 here in the morning hereso you wake up just in time for quests
>>28915768we are younger than her not older.
>>28915764>Reya's face when Rana and Emilio totally hook up
>>28915798Reya is younger than Rana too.
>>28915692Works for me.
>>28915718This works.
>>28915833What the fuck?
>>28915656If you like mystery or horror, then I'd give it a read or a watch. The setting and the characters are pretty nice as well, especially the two main characters you follow along. The novels are better, but the anime is still pretty good. If you want to watch the anime, I'd say follow the rule of thumb and watch the first three episodes and see if you like it.
>>28915718>"My sister still gets me out of trouble. Except when she gets me into trouble."Re-worded that for you
>>28915801Good sir anon I am now shipping this
>>28915833I'm sorry... But What?
>>28915692Its already well known what the painting will beChinhold breaking femron's sword and winning the tournament
>>28915820>"I was like that with my sister too. Even today she still gets me out of trouble sometimes."It implies that she is younger, what he should have said was."I'm like that with my sister too. Even today she still has me getting her out of trouble sometimes."
>>28915801>shipping intensifies
>>28915801>rana/emilio>nicomelon>sylvie/nico's brotherdespite whatever route we go with i like the idea of having a pairing for every other girl
>>28915801>first Sylvie and Luciana being lewd to each other>now thisi like where this thread is going
>>28915895like this>>28915866
>>28915895How does it imply that? I'm confused. Are little sisters the only one's capable of getting a brother in trouble?
>>28915895There is clearly something in that cave worth dying for. We're going in. If you make us get cave training and cave equipment, that's railroading.
>>28915895citrine calls you her little brother>there's nothing in this cave worth dieing forthat's just what you want me to think
>>28915934Everyone was talking about younger brothers, not older sisters.
>>28915934>Are little sisters the only one's capable of getting a brother in trouble?dear god no
>>28915870>>28915854If I remember right, it was some thing where the participants make "chi walls" or some such bullshit. So the guy was supposed to run up to her and bounce off like he hit a wall. But then he didn't stop in time and plowed straight into her, then tried to play it off like it was a delayed reaction.>>28915934The way the conversation is going, it strongly implies that the younger ones of the pair get the older ones out of trouble.
>>28915995Is that a fucking lung?
>>28916019No, it's a normal lung.
>>28916038No, it's just a lung
>>28916038and now i want to see a lung having sex
>>28915502Ya know, the joke here is that your bitching has gotten more replies than casual turtle posting, and is thus hastening the thread's course towards the bump limit. You're your own worst enemy with your petty complaint.
>>28916019>>28916038>>28916052So it begins...
Okay... word it like:>"I was like that with my sister too. Even today she still gets me out of trouble sometimes."or>"I'm like that with my sister too. Even today she still has me getting her out of trouble sometimes."The latter makes more sense to me, but I'm going to leave it up to you guys.
Rolled 2>>28916091The latter
>>28916091Second one.
>>28916091the first onewhen have we got her out of trouble?
>>28916091Latter makes more sense.
>>28916091The latter.
>>28916091>"I'm like that with my sister too. Even today she still has me getting her out of trouble sometimes."Let's go along with this.
>>28916091The latter, definitely.
>>28916091>Latter
>>28916091Latter.
>>28916136When has she gotten us out of trouble
>>28916136When we killed someone who dared hurt her back when we lived in that shithole of a fishing village.
>>28916091I don't like either.
>>28916136Have you even seen the way that Citrine behaves? Girl has a knack for saying the wrong thing most of the time.
>>28916136We've stabbed/beaten the fuck out of some people to protect her
>>28916166>even today
>>28916091>Even today she still has me getting her out of trouble sometimes."when did we get her out of trouble recently? or when did she get us into trouble recently?
>>28916091>"I'm like that with my sister too. My sister still gets me out of trouble. Except when she gets me into trouble."
>>28916091We've gotten her out of physical scrapes, and she's helped us with emotional issues. We're mutual problem-solvers.>"My sister and I are like that too. No matter what trouble one of us gets into, the other always manages to find a way to solve it."
>>28916091Actually doesn't it make more sense that we look out for each other. We've tried to protect her in the past while she has been the closest thing to a mother figure that we've had and has kept us sane.
>>28916091>>"I'm like that with my sister too. Even today she still has me getting her out of trouble sometimes."Like you said it makes more sense to the conversation and it is true.
>>28916091>>28916194
>>28916201>>28916204These make the most sense to me
>>28916194i like thisor >>28916204
>>28916201>>"My sister and I are like that too. No matter what trouble one of us gets into, the other always manages to find a way to solve it."this is better wording, drops the "even today" thing that people seem to be fighting over
>>28916201I would go with this
>>28916220Yeah, I'm gonna support this.Reinhold and Citrine help each other out.
>>28916201Actually, this sounds like the best option.
>>28916201There's always an option number 3 and it gets my vote
>>28916201Yeah, that's better.

>>28916477Why would archelon know? Ask your priest.
>>28916477Well this world has at least one religion which references a god, and faith is necessary for sanctuary, but I don't know if he stated that the faith causes the spell to work, or if it only causes the spell to work because they think the spell only works if you are faithful.

>>28916531Why is Melanie so... Wait, who was she again?
"Me and my sister are like that too," you say. "No matter what trouble one of us gets into, the other always manages to find a way to solve it.""Aww, that's cute!" Luciana giggles. "Makes me feel kind of jealous that I'm not all that close with most of my own siblings, even though I have so many...""You have a sister?" Sir Gregory asks, turning to you. "Arnaud didn't say anything about that when he was checking out your background...""Yes," Marianne replies. "His sister is married to Marius Lanzmann, actually.""Huh. Didn't know that," he says, shrugging. "I guess his information gathering isn't as perfect as I'd thought.""Well, we're not related by blood, but..." you say."Don't worry, I get it," Sir Gregory replies. "Doesn't have to be a blood relation to still count as a sibling.">[1/?]
>>28916598There's a Melanie in the quest?
>>28916598Wasn't she the baker who had a baby?
>>28916493>>28916531>>28916543>>28916546pls stop.

>>28916598Even with no presence, she beat Sylvie out in a vote.Even meido is stronger than Sylvie.
So how long until we have Archelons Quest in 3D/
>>28916607Plz no bully the meido. Bad things happen when you bully the meido.
>>28916653All is well.
>>28916653I like you, anon.
>>28916606Somehow I doubt Arnaud missed this, it seems more likely he just didn't tell Gregory everything. I guess that could also mean that Arnaud knows some stuff about our past that we may not know. Maybe we should ask him about it at an appropriate time (after training one night, once we're back, etc.)?
>>28916630Nico a shit
>>28916653Early on in the quest there were a lot of people that were very strongly pro-Sylvie but they over did it. Which caused a huge anti-Sylvie back lash. The pro-Sylvie have died down (they still exist but are more reasonable about it) But the Anti-Sylvie people are still in full force and have now officially become more annoying than the Pro-Sylvie crowd.
Dear PGQ,Your waifu a shit.Best girl a shit. Signed, PGQP.S. I think we've covered it and can move on now
>>28916763Yeah, there've been several instances of voting with a significant faction of "Any choice but Sylvie".It's really annoying for those of us who aren't trying to play a jackass.
>>28916708>>28916712SOON FELLOW MEIDOSWE'LL TAKE OVER THE STRAWPOLLS
>>28916728arnaud may have known that we had connections to a whorehouse and former whores, but whether you consider someone your sister isn't something that can just be looked up easily
>>28916763I just don't like Sylvie as a character. She's a boring moeblob.
>>28916691Fucking shit! Is this, like, implemented already?It's just like in my shadowruns!
>>28916858moeblob implies that I find her cute.She doesn't even do that for me.
>>28916858Now this guy knows how to wafu war. We just need someone else to point out the character flaws of every other female character.
>>28916477Reason I asked was because I was curious what it would take to make a portal to the afterlife so the dead can walk among the livingWould still like that 1000 years of darkness/METAL though
>>28916925I believe Arch stated there is no necromancy in this setting.>>28916924Not really, he was not pointing out any flaws, just stating his opinion
>>28916924Marianne is a bitch with a broken personality. Nicolette never tells anyone anything and just keeps secrets all the time. Luciana's a slutty manipulative schemer. Rana has no development besides being needlessly pushy, and also racist against humans. Arianne is married. Karel is male. Takamaru is male and married. And that's all of them.
>>28916994He didnt say there werent demons though, or cthulu
>>28916994Not him, but i personally hate the adjective moeblob, since i find it as an easy excuse for people to fall on.(at least with boring you can try to explain it, but moeblob there is no real defining characteristic.)
>>28917020I thought there was a Maid, oh well just my imagination acting up again.
>>28916925Even if Rein was disposed to rein apocalyptic doom on the country-side, there are a few problems.Lets just perfect the spells we know now.
>>28917020You left out Tina! You son of a bitch! How dare you not talk shit about Tina!
>>28917020>Not even mentioning Meido>I like the way you waifu war
>>28917020You son of a bitch, it took me a minute there.10/10
So it seems like Shadow master is using that saved up Nat 1.
>>28917020>no maid complaintswell we know your favorite character
>>28916925Metal, noise, blood and fire, that is what I most desire.
>>28917020>Karel is maleThat's fine~
Hey guys! Air Hike?Arch, we're getting Air Hike with Holy Shine! Right bro? Good, I'm glad you agree with us, bro. Shit is gonna be CUHRAZY!!!!
>>28917020You forgot Karel's mom
>>28917050Gotta follow ur dreams anonAlso monique is totally our bitch/puppet and will obey us
>>28917098Wasn't this shot down like 40 threads ago?
>>28916606>[2/2]You then continue eating your food while the others trade complaints about their siblings. Marianne's as quiet as ever, though she doesn't seem to be in a bad mood or anything... fortunately.After a while, everyone finishes eating, and you all get up from the table as a group of maids take care of your dishes. Marianne and Melanie walk off to the side to talk about something while Nicolette and Sylvie do the same... Rana and Reya decide to introduce themselves to Emilio and Karel, while Luciana just kind of hovers around you.And Sir Gregory... he's looking at the main entrance with a wide smile on his face.WHY IS HE SMILING LIKE THAT."Uncle Gregoryyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Elena shouts as she races through the door and towards her uncle at top speed, jumping into his arms."Haha, its great to see you too, Elena!" Sir Gregory replies, lifting her up in the air.>greet the (little) princess?
>>28917098>Air Hike with Holy ShineWe seriously need to start practicing that shit. It's been on the backburner for a while now. Just haven't had time with all the drama lately.
>>28917117Hes mocking the whole thing.
>>28917117That's never stopped anyone.
Argh. Enough already.This is why we can't have nice things.jpgI know it's probably just friendly teasing for most of you, but all it takes is one emotionally damaged retard to take this stuff seriously and personally and they *will* shit up the entire thread over this bantering.
>>28917117Not shot down, I think, just dismissed cause we had other shit on our hands, as well as being buried beneath the slew of shitposting waifu wars.
>>28917123"Hi Elena. Wheres Inaba?"
>>28917123You always say hi to the loli.
>>28917135That picture has been in almost every thread so far.
>>28916576>mfw a tail like that can get me harder than any boob pic on the interwebz.>mfw I have no face because too much Internet must turn off computer.>mfw post pic which is unrelated because I feel bad for using mfw and not posting a pic
>>28917135Sylvie a shit. Her entire non-personality is neckbeard pandering.
>>28917123"Good afternoon, Princess!"I sure hope she gets to practice fencing some day. Sword loli would be amazing.
>>28917144But add Princess to it.
>>28917117Yes.I'm glad it's never happening, but the conversation was fun.>>28917123"Did you get anything for your brother?"Please let it be a crayon drawing.
>>28917123What was that nickname she wanted that we said she needed to work on her speed for?Tell her she's earning it with that kind of sprin.
>>28917123Greet the loli
>>28917123>[x] "Good afternoon, higness">[x] scan floor for bunnies so we accidentaly don't step on one
>>28917168Okay then can you point out how she is neck beard pandering?
>>28917123I'm surprised to see you before your rabbit Princess!
>>28917098>Air Hikeand that is...
>>28917123Ask the little girl if she wants to see our svord
>>28917144>>28917181These work.
>>28917123Ask the little girl if she wants to play with our sword
>>28917181red meteor, and yes, we must address her as this
>>28917144This.
>>28917124It won't happen because it can not happen.>We move>Holy Shine moves>We have to land on a stationary holy shine to air hikeWe're best learning an actual movement spell everyone else uses instead of trying to invent one ourselves when we know next to nothing about Magic.
>>28917177I still think it'd be useful to learn a move like that, on account of the fact that it'd probably be quicker and easier to cast spontaneously (before anyone says anything I'm fully aware that we aren't anywhere near that good right now - I'm speaking hypothetical futures) if we're in a falling situation, or need to get over a large structure than it would be to try and cast a flight spell.But I concede to the will of the masses.
>>28917071>Doesn't get the joke>>28917020Good show sir!
>>28917110I know what you need. You want the power to revolutionize the world, right?
>>28917181>>28917227These.
>>28917123>Bow Deeply>"Your highness, it is an honor and a pleasure to see you once more">Complete deadpan
>>28917235Yeah, one of the wing spells.The draconic one maybe, less prone to being dispelled by opposing element than light/darkness variants. Or the wind one, which is less tiresome, but more difficult.
>>28917202See: >>28917124
>>28917144>>28917181These two.
>>28917135You were looking for an emotionally damaged retard?>>28917168Because he just said hello
>>28917278Or we could learn the metal one
>>28917235>>28917278Problem with that is that the chances of us learning one of the wing spells is probably going to happen sometime two years from now, real-time, given the pace at which we're going and our current level of magical capacity.Hence why I was in favor of a double-jump-styled manouver.
>>28917249If by revolutionize you mean sow chaos and destruction then yes, its everything that I want
>>28917166Whoops. Sorry for the namefagging.
>>28917293Please hang yourself
>>28917177At my last apartment, there were a bunch of little kids. One day, a couple of them showed up at my door and asked if I wanted to buy any arts. for 50 cents I got a picture of some weird catgirl thing in crayon. Kept it on my fridge until I moved.
>>28917293Nah, he was merely being facetious.
>>28917261Do it. We need to be prime and proper, might as well joke about it.
>>28917278Once we've spent enough of time messing with magic to start altering spells, then it's only clear what the next step shall be. Everything Shall Be METAL
>>28917344Why didn't you keep it?
>>28917344>Kept it on my fridge until I moved.why don't you have the crayon cat girl on your fridge now
>>28917307>>28917278You know, a wing spell probably isn't the only way to move around in the air. We already know a few movement spells that give limited movement in the air, there is probably a whole set of spells that deal with aerial movement. At least I hope there is. It's just speculation at this point unless arch want to clarify if it's purely wing spells or a mixture
>>28917348Was this fag being facetious?>>28917336
>>28917366>>28917372I had to leave that apartment under less than Ideal circumstances, and at a fairly high rate of speed. I hope every day that I remembered to pack it away somewhere, but considering I moved out from unpacked to gone in less than three hours, I don't hold out a lot of hope.
>>28917358Or we could just keep screaming Unlimited Blade Works or Gate of Babylon until it never happens.Ghetto Unlimited Blade Works is still Spirit Field + Sanctuary + Fragment Blader * infinity
>>28917393I wasn't, because you're trying to stir up another fucking argument.
>>28917381We do? Like what? Only movement spell we know is an acceleration spell that increases our whole body's forward momentum, it does nothing to affect our aerial movement, or enhance our jumping ability either.
>>28917397It's the wee hours of /tg/, and we could use some filler. Do you have a story worth sharing?
>>28917393No. This one was upset over you not realizing he was being facetious.poe's law.
>>28917381Tail wind is made for wing spells.[Should get as soon as possible]>RefreshA healing spell is always good, plus its cheap and easy to learn.>Healing GraceAn even stronger healing spell doesn't hurt, but it doesn't fix serious injuries like broken bones.>Null SphereIt stops anyone with out a pointed object in their tracks and would work well for trapping unarmed opponents.>Shade GuardSimilar to holy shine, except it only stops the damage and not the force, it is also affected by shadows>Aurora FieldA quick drop and forget spell when being chased or setting up traps.[Spells we should try to get after the above]>Ebon Wing>Starlight WingGetting both of these is good in case some one has a spell designed to take out light and the same for shadow, plus these combo well with tailwind.>BoostA great buff spell for oh shit moments, we might need to train up our stamina for repeated uses. >Morning FogHelps for escapes and defense from long ranged attacks.>Arctic BladeA ranged spell that works with our sword.>Glacial SunderIt worked decently on us and it seems like a good spell for a body guard.[Spells that we should get too after doing the ones above.]>Stardust WingI'm hoping we can learn this from one of the dragons we met since it sounds like a better spell than the other two flying spells.>Zephyr WingWould love to learn this one if people want to overcome learning curve since its the best flying spell around.>Fragment Lancer>Fragment Bladergood spells for when we don't have a weapon on hand or an ally need one>Colossus HoldBasically a hand made of earth(metal), it has multiple uses.>Vajra SparkA good ranged attack that can be used with our sword or hands.
>>28917418That spell can be used for aerial movement if I remember correctly. Just move forward + jump. It's just not very good aerial movement.
>>28917459>>28917418Actually Tailwind is a wing spell that is harder to control on land.
>>28917457Those are just the ones he listed because he thought they were relevant to where we were in magic/swording, he said himself that there are tons of other spells he could create.
>>28917481true, that as an old list i made of spell i think we should try learning from the pool of spells shown.That is if the people trying to replace and avoid sylvie stop butting in our learning time with her.
>>28917475tailwind is paired with wing spells but isn't one on it's own
There are three levels of spell casting.>lvl 1: Incantation + Spell name>lvl 2: Spell name>lvl 3: Instant castWe chose to not lean an attack spell so that we could focus on holy shrine. The reasoning behind this was:>"Light of the heavens, cast down your brilliance and deliver me from my enemies. Holy Shine!"Imagine you see an assasin with a cross bow pointed at the princess. Do you think you could read this incantation before they pull the trigger?Problem is, Arch never told us how long it takes for a spell to go from level 1 to level 2. If we could do it in a few weeks it would be worth it. If it takes years we need to start learning other spells. Can we get an answer on this?
>>28917344That's adorable.
>>28917432Sure, I suppose. It's fairly short, but give me a moment to compose.Also, it just occurred to me that one of my former roommates was a fa/tg/uy, so this could get interesting.
>>28917512Considering it took the timeskip to make us get better at Holy Shine, I will say maybe a week or two just to go to level 1 to level 2?
>>28917507TailwindCost: 3MPElement: WindIncantation: "Howling winds, gather beneath my feet and guide me on my journey."Effect: Aided by the wind, the caster's speed increases a great deal. The spell remains in effect until the caster stops moving. Is more effective in combination with a flying spell, though it works just fine on land. There is a rather large learning curve, as maneuvering becomes a fair bit more difficult. It seems like it synergies well with wings spells and is made for them, which is why i said it was a wing spell.
>>28917512I was thinking of 5 levels system>lvl 1: Incantation + Spell name>lvl 2: Spell name>lvl 3: Any word to replace the spell(crazy mage does this)>lvl 4:Instant cast>lvl 5:Can shape the incantation to fit other people
>>28917530to be fair i think it was stated that we suck at holy shine since we can't picture "light" as it is in the religious sense. we could probably get something like fragment blader down much faster, so i think it varies with spell
>>28917570Actually, both Holy Shine and Tailwind were just had higher learning curves compared to the other spells.
>>28917570I still think we should go big or go home and get the hardest flying spell, like we did in getting the two hardest spells like holy shine and tailwind.Zephyr WingCost: 4MPElement: WindIncantation:Effect: Aided by the wind, the caster is able to fly for as long as they are not touching the ground. Both the top speed and level of fine control are very high, but the learning curve is also very high.
>>28917564>Any word to replace the spell(crazy mage does this)crazy mage has tons of spells that are mantra (require a specific type of thought process) and can get around some rules by making his mantra based around his own unique fucked up thought processtl;dr arcmage gets around normal rules>lvl 5:Can shape the incantation to fit other peoplei don't remember this
"Hi, Princess," you say to Elena as Sir Gregory lets her drop back to the floor. "Where's Inaba?""She's in my room," Elena says, pouting. "Mama said that I shouldn't bring her to the party since someone might step on her.""I'd have to agree with her," Sir Gregory says, nodding."Still sucks that I can't play with her until the party ends..." she mumbles."That was a pretty impressive sprint you did just now," you say in an attempt to take her mind away from her bunny. "What was that nickname you wanted? 'Red Meteor?' You're going to live up to that in no time.""Umm, you think so?" Elena replies, a wide smile on her face. 'Cuz, umm, I wanna be super fast and my hair's red so I think it sounds cool!""Let's see how cool you think it is in ten years," Andreas says as he enters the hall and walks up to the three of you. "I guarantee that you'll regret it if you seriously stick with that.">[1/?]
>>28917605And we learned them on the first try thanks to sylvie.
>>28917613sylvies father does this with her Fist spell.
>>28917620teach her tailwindwe have to teach her tailwind
>>28917570I agree that the time frame would vary depending on the person and the spell they are learning. But, a protective spell like holey shrine fits with Reinhold's personality really well.
>>28917621More like we learned them because we're stubborn and didn't want to learn things sequentially.
>>28917459Forward aerial movement when using a wing spell, not aerial movement in general. The best it could do without a wing spell is allow us to leap forward great lengths - it has no other utility to us on land.
>>28917526So, it was the summer after my Junior year in college, and my first year at that school since I had transferred. I didn't have a whole lot of friends or anything initially because I had moved cities too, so I kind of took what I could get. I met a guy in one of my classes who was, if not a fairly decent bro, then at least somewhere on the bro scale, or so I thought, and was into RPing. It would be a while before my roommate and my only friend in town managed to get me into what turned out to be the same weekly group (story for another time), so we played some Dark Heresy, some Airship Pirates (not the most fun), and some D&D 3.0.It was a decent time, and towards the end of the year I'm looking for a place to live after Uni housing kicks me out, because I don't really want to go home, and I find out that... let's call them H and Q, H being the guy from my class and Q being another guy from the group, are looking to move in together and want a third roommate. Not my first choice, but they were decent enough players, so I figured, what the hell. We apartment shop for a while, and eventually find a three bedroom in our price range, and move in.Then I helped them move and I found out they were terrible. H was kind of ridiculous about "We need to get up at 8:00 in the morning to move" and all that good shit, but I wasn't prepared for Q's apartment. I didn't even find out it was carpeted until we pulled the couch out of there and I could see the floor through the trash. Fucking dirty dishes as high as the eye can see. But what the hell, I already signed up, and H is a clean freak so hopefully Q's roommates are responsible for most of the mess.How wrong I was, /tg/.(1/2ish)
>>28917653this as well, but we learned a high curve spell thanks to sylvie if she wasn't around i bet the DC would have been 20 to even get it to work.
>>28917689Pastebin that.
>>28917653This to some extent but mostly sylvie. We wouldn't even know those spells existed if she didn't tell us.
>>28917689>I could see the floor through the trash. Fucking dirty dishes as high as the eye can see
>>28917712We timeskipped it to not roll at all and the narrative said we fucked up on our first try for both of them. Tripped over ourselves and ran into a wall the first time we tried Tailwind.
>>28917620>[2/2]"And you really need to quit running ahead of me like that," Andreas says, sighing. "I can't exactly do my job if you're halfway across the castle, you know.""Regretting your post already, Andreas?" Sir Gregory says, smirking."No, I just wish that she'd try and limit the amount of stress that she put me through.""And -you- really shouldn't dash the little girl's dreams like that," Sir Gregory teases. "You know that she just wants to match your title, Sir Starry Sky...""And that's another reason I want her to give up on it already," Andreas says, placing a hand over his face. "I may be stuck with that lame title, but I don't want her to share my fate.""I think it's cool though..." Elena says, puffing out her cheeks.Seeing that her mood's gone south, Sir Gregory pats her on the head in an attempt to cheer her up."I thought you were going to come down with your mother," Sir Gregory says to her."Chiara started crying so Mama said for us to go on ahead," Elena replies. "I said that she could just leave her with the maids, but Mama wants to bring her to the party no matter what... I really don't get the point though," she shrugs.>join in the conversation>go and bug Marianne and Melanie>go and bug Nicolette and Sylvie>go and bug the dragon siblings, Emilio and Karel>go over to Luciana and Takamaru>[OTHER]
>>28917689So I had moved into the apartment a few days early, because I own a truck and am not a tremendous pussy who needs... god I think we had between seven and nine people to move the two of them. First it's nice, suddenly there's a bunch more furniture, and my GF who was living there at the time suddenly has three people's worth of kitchenware to fuck around with. (Not sexist, she just really loved cooking and I only had the bare minimum of pots and pans). Two days in and I give up on the dining room table. There are at least two layers of Q's stuff on it at all times. I had the misfortune of sharing a bathroom with the guy, while H got one to himself, so hooray for terrifying amounts of hair everywhere and a fair amount of dirty underclothes on the floor. H is just... the creepiest motherfucker ever to every girl that comes by, and I have a fairly large number of female friends and the live in GF for a month or so before she got her own place. But whatever, the complex isn't terrible except for the trains at night, the rent's cheap as hell, even before you factor in the part that I was the only one who could do enough math to divide it up, and my room is pretty bitching. Plus, I had almost completely stopped giving a shit by the time I started having buddies crashing out with me, so when my roommates complained about the strangers sleeping on the couch, it was really easy to ignore them. Not the best roommate behavior, but I could give less of a shit by that point. And then Q shit on my bath mat.(2/3, pastebin link in next)

>>28917893And I'm not even the one who finds it. My Girlfriend is over, and she calls me into the bathroom and asks "Is that mud?""Yes," I say, "That is mud." And then I had to fucking clean the shit up MYSELF because Q is passed the fuck out drunk and I don't want GF to freak out about the poop, throw my fucking bath mat away, and then after my GF left I went out of town for the weekend because GODDAMN!Came back, told them I was leaving as soon as I found a new place. Q was really understanding, as he had damn well better be, but H threw a fit about how I was leaving them high and dry and I had made a commitment and it's not like it effected my livelihood (No shit he said that). Starts getting into Legalese and I tell him to calm down, it'll be fine, I'll think it over. Called a buddy, and between the two of us we got everything out of my apartment and into the storage unit he had in under three hours, and I spent the next week on a couch before I managed to snag a new place to live.(3/3)http://pastebin.com/NfsZnK8t

While I write, was there anything that you guys wanted to say to them?Might as well make the best use of time, considering my usual slowness.
>>28918204Well, I'd like to know more about the mom and kid, so ask about that.
>>28918204"So Arnaud tells me that you trained under him as well? He keeps saying I'm a lot like you were back then."Or something in a similar vein. Probably not this exactly because it's mediocre and awkward-sounding as fuck (9AM here, been up all night, writing skill is a shit due to fatigue).
>>28918204can we teach her tailwind? if so then>>28917911
>>28918204see >>28917177
>>28918204Ask about Starry Sky title, that for sure. And maybe ask Elena, what she think about whole party, and guests?
>>28917929So, I can also tell some stories of H being the creepiest motherfucker ever if that interests anyone>>28918204Mostly I just want to talk to the Loli and Gregory
>>28918221'Cause getting Elena to learn a spell that's liable to cause her to slam into the wall, becoming the Red Splatter-Stain, rather than the Red Meteor, is a great idea.
>>28918204The royal familiy, Gregory's sister and the baby
"So this Chiara's a baby?" you ask."Yup, she's my little sister!" Elena replies, a wide smile on her face. "She's only one though, so she doesn't really do much yet. Just a lot of crying. And a lot of pooping. And she-""I think that he gets the idea, Princess," Andreas says, patting her on the shoulder."Mama's gonna bring her down, but she needs to stop crying first."Huh, so Celestino's youngest is a baby. Marianne'll probably be elated when she finally comes down here... assuming that she's not as fussy as Elena's making her out to be."I'm honestly surprised by how much the Queen is into raising her own kids," Andreas says. "Most people in the upper class just kind of leave the harder stuff to a nanny while they attend parties like this.""Yes, well..." Sir Gregory says, laughing. "It was always my sister's dream to become a mother, and then she went and married Celestino, who wants as many kids as he can possibly can have.""Considering that the guy's easily over a hundred years old, I have no idea how he's able to keep up... but he does an he's treating my sister well so I can't really complain.""Mama says that Papa's a perfect gentleman 'cuz he's scared that you and Uncle Guillaume would come and beat him up if he ever made Mama cry!" Elena laughs.>[1/?]
>>28918291>"Mama says that Papa's a perfect gentleman 'cuz he's scared that you and Uncle Guillaume would come and beat him up if he ever made Mama cry!" Elena laughs.I could see how that would keep a guy on his best behavior.
>>28918306still, thats alot of ploughing and sowing of seed.
>>28918204One thing I'd like to try is inviting Citrine into our little gang. Something like if we see her around wave her over and let her in on the fun. I'd imagine she'd get a kick out of actually hanging with royalty and not just "I met that person once." type of thing.
>>28918291Any way we could get the story behind Andreas' nickname?
>>28918291Man, Celestino is a goddamned force of nature.
>>28918291People really don't seem to give much of a fuck about age differences in this setting.
>>28918345>grass grows, birds fly, and King Celestino's blood is Viagra.
>>28918291Goddamn. Celestino's still got some moves at his age...
>>28918154No, as in get your ass to H's house, kick in the front door, and ransack the place for that damn drawing even if the cops show up.
>>28918350magic can make you seem younger and dragons live for centuries. also, pretty sure real world medieval politics often had people marrying each other with vast age differences, often through arranged marriages
>>28918358You.I like you.>>28918369Yeah, ok. I occasionally consider breaking back in there for various reasons, that's probably the best one.
>>28918369>>28918381>when you get there, he has somehow managed to get shit on the door of the fridge
>>28918291I don't see how 100 is really that old considering we know Celestino is a pretty strong mage.Nico's mom is easily in her 40s and she looks like a teenager.
>>28918369>>28918381Do it for the kidsget the god damn drawing
>>28918407You know what? I wouldn't be terribly surprised. I would cry though.
>>28918417we think she's in her 40s. nico's grandpa was celestino's buddy, which means he could have been 80+ when he died, he may have had arianne when he was relatively young
>>28918417Loli is as Loli does.>>28918423Then let's go and find out, shall we? By go there and kick in the front door, I mean go there, now, in the wee hours o the morning, and fuck their shit up.
What -exactly- did Gregory do that makes everyone shit their pants?
>>28918466Have you seen those "Will It Blend," videos?They always blend.
>>28918466his nickname is the red haze because when he fights his enemies tend to wind up having the consistency of morning dew
>>28918466Punched someone really hard at least once and in full view of someone who spread the rumor, I reckon
>>28918291"Yes, well that -is- a brother's duty, after all," Sir Gregory says with a smirk. "You know how it is, right, Reinhold?""Yeah, I do," you say with a nervous laugh.You REALLY know how THAT is..."Speaking of Arnaud," you begin, "he told me that you trained under him too? He keeps saying that I'm a lot like you were back then.""Heh, I can see that," Sir Gregory says, slapping you on the back. "The two of us have a lot in common... though I can't say that I was as popular with the ladies," he laughs."...wait, YOU train with Uncle Guillaume!?" Elena says, her mouth agape."A little, yeah..." you reply."ohmygodimsojealousssssssssssss" she says through gritted teeth, her hands trembling."I can't say that I don't feel the same way," Andreas says, doing his best to keep his cool. "Granache certainly sounds like an interesting place.">[2/?]
>>28918483>Meanwhile Raya is sitting there thinking to himself "So THAT'S how this guy broke muh claw spell."
>>28918483"Tell me about it. I feel like I've stepped into a magical realm when I entered service"
>>28918465It's about an eight hour drive from here, so let me get back to you on that after I return from christmastime with my family>>28918483>Picturing Elena learning swording from arnaud>Yes
>>28918497Wasn't Raya already aware of our Eschenwald-style training and that being the reason why we fucked him up solidly?
>>28918539He didn't know that we were also training with Arnaud.Reinhold has a double dose of training to fuck people's shit.
>>28918535No. Drive there now. Get the drawing that holds the purity of emotion that only a young child could bring forth unto paper. Drive back. I can wait seventeen hours or so. But every minute of inaction is another minute the potential shit creeps up on the relic of childhood glory.
>>28918573Well, for glory then.
>>28918483"Well, -our- knights don't get fancy titles upon knighting like you do over here," Sir Gregory teases."Seriously, lay off the lame title," Andreas replies, slumping over."I think it sounds kind of cool," you say. "Is there a story behind it?""Yes, -is- there a story behind it?" Sir Gregory asks."No, it's just a lame joke," Andreas says, sighing. "My last name means 'starry night' and I had a bit of theming there with the magic that I specialize in, so the King thought it was a good idea to stick me with 'Knight of the Starry Skies.' Being s Knight is great and all, but my title is so incredibly lame," he grumbles."Hey, Elena likes it well enough," Sir Gregory replies, clearly enjoying this. "And at least you don't have a bunch of nicknames that make you sound like a total psychopath.""Man, I've seen you in action before," Andreas says, rolling his eyes. "And you earned every one of those names, regardless how much you'd like to be known for how much your sister's kids love you.">[3/?]
>>28918609Andreas'_last_words_before_he_gets_mulched.gif
>>28918609>This gon be good
>>28918609Andreas, is it a good idea to patronize the man the could kill you as brutally and painfully as possible, who would leave no evidence by way of no body left over to identify, and who would have diplomatic immunity?
>>28918609Andreas. He was a brave kid indeed.
>>28918619>>28918630>>28918632Don't worry guys, Gregory is just a HUUUUUUGE softie!

>>28918670Just kind of floating off to the side with Takamaru, trying to act like she's not watching you.
What would Reinhold's nicknames/title/whatever be?
>>28918686Reinhold Two, Electric Bugaloo - ReinHARDER
>>28918686Reinhold the Sword Swinger
Sorry, *Boogaloo
>>28918683heh
>>28918683Damn, she is getting little obsessive...I hope she will stop doing that during ball, someone would get suspicious.
>>28918683Oh that is so creepy-cute.
>>28918686Reinhold the Waifu Master
>>28918683She's really starting to creep me out.
>>28918722Why?
>>28918686Well there already has been a Swordbreaker, so maybe Armsbreaker? Breaker of Things? Heartbreaker?Or from different angle, Swordmender? Stillmaker? Resolver?Then we have the Guardian/Sentinel thing.Or the Metal Knight thing.I'm sure there will be more facts to derive a title from. The Happening isn't over yet.
>>28918686Reinhold the Breaker
>>28918686Reinhold the Nice Guy
>>28918683Sylvie and now luci... these two...
>>28918726Just Breaker.Reinhold the Breaker.
>>28918683Should we talk to her later? No, I'm not trying to wage another waifu war.
>>28918724It's kind of obsessive to just hover around like that and she's known Reinhold for like 5 days. There's also the part where she casually tortured a guy and ordered his death. She just seems a little unhinged at this point.
>>28918731>SylvieDon't tell me she is also watching us...
>>28918739I...I kinda like it though...
>>28918713>>28918719>>28918722>>28918731You guys know this is, like, the most basic teenager thing ever, right?
>>28918736I still want to talk to Marie and Meido. It was what almost won last time and I'd like to mention the baby to her since she could probably use some things to look forward to at the ball over all the dread.
>>28918686RHBRoyal Heart Breaker
>>28918748I sense eventual change in her behavior to obsessive Yandere.
>>28918739> There's also the part where she casually tortured a guy and ordered his deathPeople are still going on about this?
>>28918759I like you.
>>28918761I think people are grasping at straws to try and make her out as a psychopath when she clearly is not.
>>28918762It's not that I think she did anything wrong. It's just the juxtaposition between that and how she normally acts is a little unnerving.
>>28918755Yeah, she probably feels left out after all the sibling talk.
>>28918762Ignore please.
>>28918755I think we should avert possible crisis while we still can. Jelly princess isn't good thing in these conditions.
>>28918785Luciana isn't a psycopath.
>>28918765> mfw arch is a latooni fan
>>28918773At that point she was extremely pissed from a combination of multiple kidnapping attempts, and them breaking up her private moment with Reinhold, which is somewhat hard for her to get, what with us being in different countries and all.Which is probably the reason why she seems to be so clingy, She just wants to make the best of the time she has while Reinhold is visiting her country.
>>28918609>[4/4]"You're lucky that we're friends, or I might be tempted to kick your ass for that," Sir Gregory says as he runs a hand through his hair."Aww, I wanna see you two fight!" Elena says, jumping up and down."Hell no I'm not fighting him," Andreas replies. "I like having hands, thank you very much.""And so, Andreas gets to live another day..." Sir Gregory says with a chuckle.You're not sure if the mood here is good or bad, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to change the subject."So, Princess Elena... are you looking forward to the party?" you ask."Nope," Elena replies, shaking her head furiously. "I wanted to play with Inaba and Andreas instead, but I hafta be here instead," she mumbles. "Parties like this are so boring... and all the people who show up suck.""So you think that -I- suck?" Sir Gregory says, frowning."No!" she shouts, hugging him. "You're the best uncle ever!""Well how about you hang out with me and Nico when everyone else gets here?" he asks. "To be honest, we feel exactly the same way about this party as you do...""'kay!"

>>28918877to people that have repeatedly tried to kidnap you while you're hopped up on adrenaline doesn't seem casual
>>28918877Please, tell me how what she did could be called casual torture?
>>28918877Don't use mfw if you don't actually have a picture tardburger, and what she did, while torture, was probably one of the lighter versions one can see.And finally, it's medieval times, kids grows up fast.Especially being royalty, what with constant threats of assassination and abduction.
>>28918811>go over to Luciana
>>28918811>go and bug Marianne and MelanieDuty first and all that. Maybe tell her about our talk with Emilio
>>28918811>Go over to Luciana and Takamaru. there is still time to talk to everyone right?
>>28918877She's willing to do what needs to be done. I don't see that as a bad thing.Reinhold has shown himself willing to hunt and kill people who threaten or hurt the people he cares about.Whoop de doo, she tortured and killed someone who tried to kidnap her. That doesn't make her a psychopath, it just means she knows how to take care of herself.
>>28918924You want betray Emilio during his birthday? You monster.
>>28918809really the worst part is that people thinks that she likes it or acts like it's pretty much normal when i'm pretty sure that shit is all balled up and she probably hates doing it

>Go over to Luciana and Takamaru.
>>28918928No, it really is offputting. Justifiable, but chilling, especially in contrast with her otherwise cheerful demeanor.Of course touching royalty with harmful intent is a capital crime and in executing him on the spot she was certain to spare him much, much worse tortures than some symbolic crushing the assailant received.

>>28919033Teenaged North Korean girls don't exist. They're a myth created from darkness and woe itself. North Koreans are all bred in labs, and crossdress to make people think there are female North Koreans.
>>28918877Do you even know how significant Royal Family is in the medieval times? Attack of a member of the royal family is an assault against the heart of the country itself.

>>28919163We won before! We can do it again!Please.
>>28919174I'm with ya anon.
>>28919168Indeed!
I'm fine with this; Luci needs some rabu too.
>>28919205I'm fine with it too I just have no fucking clue what we're actually going to be talking about? The kidnapping?It seems like everyone just suddenly freaked out over not giving her attention.
>>28919038Damn i missed the voting that really matters.
Looks like Luciana wins, but we had a conversation topic during dinner that pretty much excluded Marianne. We ought to work towards making everyone enjoy this ball.
>>28919222Kind of why I voted for Marie. She was really left out back there and is looking forward to this thing the least.
>>28919222You cannot make everyone happy.
>>28919220Don't forget some of folks are just Luciana fans.
>>28919237We can make our charge happy, though. Isn't that like part of our job? Or at least something we've took on as part of it over time. She's our first priority for these things.
>>28919237FUCK YOU, YES WE CAN!CHALLANGE ACCEPTED, MOTHERFUCKER!
>>28919222We're probably going to have the option later. Remember when we decided to meet everyone in the beginning of the day? I know I'm going to be voting for Marianne if the opportunity rises again. Also quick question about the spell 'Boost': What are the physical capabilities included? Can we lift things up we normally can't, or run faster, jump higher, ect.? Or do we just move a lot faster than we can?Can we cancel out fatigue with it as well? Like whenever we are tired, we can just use it to make ourselves not tired for the duration.
>>28919235We can always cheer her up during ball. Or tell her to simulate some kind of illness to get out to her room.
>>28919220Well we can gossip about nobles in attendance. Maybe mention that apparently non-asshole noble we met... few threads back?>>28919237That's loser's talk. Shouldn't stop you from trying.
>>28919255>Also quick question about the spell 'Boost': What are the physical capabilities included? Can we lift things up we normally can't, or run faster, jump higher, ect.? Or do we just move a lot faster than we can?Think of it like an adrenaline boost that makes you stronger in general. So yes, strength and speed and all that are included in the package.>Can we cancel out fatigue with it as well? Like whenever we are tired, we can just use it to make ourselves not tired for the duration.Yes, but then it comes back with a vengeance once the spell wears off.
>>28919267Asking about the noble might be a good idea. Did he mention his name?
>>28919267>That's loser's talk.It's realistic view, especially while we might reject all girls in favor of one special.
>>28919265>simulate an illnessWe are in the land of gossiping nobles. If we try to pull that shit, rumors WILL spread faster than the black plaque,
Maybe we should mention Marie bevaiour during talk with Luci? And suggest she should spend a bit of time with her before ball?
Geez, we sure are ignoring Marianne a lot, I hope Gregory doesn't nag at us about it.
>>28919222Marie will get plenty of our attention after the ball proper starts. At least thats what I will be voting for.
>>28919331We can just go over there afterwards. The ball is still in like an hour or something.
>>28919333He was kind of pissed at us for disappearing back then to talk to the King.Though I think that's because she was out of our sight.
>>28919277How harmful is it to the user to overexceed his normal strength?To use a real life example: a mom may get the adrenaline induced strength to lift a car to save her child, but she's then at risk of severe muscle damage.I'd imagine the "Boost" spell could in worst-case scenarios lead to permanent paralysis for the user.
While Sir Gregory and Elena have an adorable family moment, you decide that now is a decent time to make yourself scarce. Waving goodbye, you walk over to Luciana, who is just kind of standing in the middle of the hallway with Takamaru, trying her best to pretend not to look at you."...I suppose that this means that I'm busted?" Luciana says as you approach."If you thought that I wouldn't notice you, then I guess you are," you reply."You know, if I actually -didn't- want you to notice that I was watching you, then you -wouldn't- have," he says, playfully sticking her tongue out at you.So basically, you played into her hands? Not that it really matters, though..."I see that you get along rather well with Uncle Gregory," Luciana says."I guess?" you say, shrugging. "He seems to like me for whatever reason.""Considering that he's rather cold to most people, I guess you should consider yourself lucky!""I certainly don't want to be on his bad side, so I guess I really should.">anything you want to talk about?
>>28919356Maybe about not being so close to her siblings?Seems kind of strange considering her mom seems big on the whole family thing.
>>28919347Using it to lift super heavy stuff risks tearing ligaments and all that fun stuff, yes.One usage is GENERALLY safe, but using it mutiple times in succession is a fast track to fucking yourself something fierce until you can get someone to fix you up with a healing spell.
>>28919356>So basically, you played into her hands? Not that it really matters, though...This was what I meant about people freaking out over not paying attention to her. >>28919366Seconding this.
>>28919366Supporting this
>>28919356>anything I should know before ball? I mean, which people I should wary, etc. etc.Also reprimand her for what she did, ask her to not doing this during ball.
>>28919366Yeah. Even though Elane seems like she can be a bit hyperactive and Emilio is anoyingly submissive they both seem to be pretty kind. Makes me interested in why she isn't closer to them.
>>28919384What did she do?
>>28919377>suggesting this isn't well-made excuse
>>28919356something about her father maybe? IDK
>>28919279After some archive browsing, found it: it was one Lord Girardot. But I guess >>28919356 we could just ask whether she does favor any of the prospective guests before dropping any names.
>>28919366Supporting this.
>>28919394Obviously staring at us. Not something we should let the King notice.
>>28919394I mean whole farce with staring into Reinhold. Ideal material for gossip.
>>28919356maybe ask a bit more bout the kidnapper situation? Like what we missed out on because or brain damage Reinhold for instance?
>>28919410>>28919414Which is probably what she wants, given what she knows about us; have her father entertain the idea a bit before letting it drop that we just might qualify as a Marconetti nobleman.
>>28919429We asked about it during breakfast with her.
>>28919437Or maybe she should orchestrate Reinhold's rise to nobility *before* she makes it obvious she has a stake in it.
>>28919438That was kinda vague of a conversation and didn't really say much though. Specifics might be nice.
Considering how much you've been warned about the nobles who will be attending the party, it's probably a good idea to avoid anything that would cause undue gossip."Lu- er, Your Highness? You might want to tone down on acting how you've been," you say."Whatever do you mean?" Luciana asks innocently."Obviously staring at me like that," you reply. "I don't think your father would take that all that well, much less the other nobles.""Don't worry, I'm just trying to get all the flirting in that I can before the party starts and I'm forced to play the role of a proper princess," she laughs.At least she has some method to her actions. Mostly, anyways."So what brings you over here?" Luciana asks. "Did you need something, or were you simply unable to stay away from my stunning beauty?""Just thought that could hang out for a bit before the party starts," you reply. "Though I guess I should ask if there's anyone attending this thing that I should watch out for...">[1/?]
>>28919501A 12 minute turn around from >writing to posting. I think you are getting better arch.
>>28919501>or were you simply unable to stay away from my stunning beauty?"I think we should also tease her a bit. She must taste her own medicine.
>>28919555That's not how it works, anon.
>>28919555Teasing is boring when you know she enjoys it
>>28919555That's probably what she wants anyways.
>>28919555>implying that's not what she wants
>>28919501Why is Luci so basedIt seems like she'd be into the kinky shit too
>>28919572Bet she got off the torturing.She seemed to well versed at it.
>>28919501..is there uhm.. a chance to talk to takamaru more about his homeland at some point?
>>28919572She was originally the BDSM waifu...She'd lose pretty badly if she kept that fetish. considering Reinhold's issues
>>28919569>not giving her what she wantsi sippy dippy.
>>28919587Don't be a queer, this is waifu quest, not homo quest.
>>28919587Yeah, we should ask about this as well, since he is here as well.>>28919591I'm not against it, anon. It'd be pretty funny if Reinhold did it because he'd seem dumb enough to do it.
>>28919501"Hmm..." Luciana says, scratching her head. "...I can't think of anyone by name, though I suppose you ought to watch out for those jerks from Perricone. Their nobility's a lot more, umm... stuck-up than usual."That's where that curly-haired moron who you ran into was from, right? And also..."I met a guy from there the other day, actually," you say. "Lord... Girardot? I think that was his name, he seemed to be pretty alright.""Girardot?" Luciana repeats. "That name doesn't ring any bells. Maybe he was ennobled recently?""I think the other guy from there that he scared off for me mentioned something like that.""I suppose that explains it, then!" Luciana says, clapping her hands together.>[2/2]

>>28919598I'm guessing you meant 2/3?
>>28919614Er, yeah.
>>28919606I'm pretty sure most of the time it's an excuse to not interact romantically rather than actual roleplaying.Still, no point in discussing it since Luciana has been confirmed for non-S
>>28919606>Implying Reinhold won't brake down crying when he eventually gets his dick wet
>>28919603Well, it's either that or have the other guys in this thread constantly give Luci the benefit of the doubt as to her playing us like a fiddle at every turn and denying it right up until Arch has to tell us we played right into her hand.. and then continue denying it.These're the guys who, in real life, would end up broke and homeless thanks to giving into a manipulative girlfriend's every trick.
>>28919617Considering /tg/ has steered Reinhold away from liking sexy clothing, interacting with flirty older woman, and all that other stuff that has to do with his previous life, I don't think it's just waifu wars.

>>28919622His first time with Marianne will be a hilarious/sad as fuck with how much trauma drama those two have, I bet they'd only get as far as taking off the clothes before they start sobbing
>>28919638Whatever helps you feel better about being played all the time, man. Whatever helps.Also, I look shit in a fedora. Like, seriously fucking lame and unsuitable. Most hats don't look good on me, really.
>>28919598"It won't be long before the party officially begins," Luciana says with a sigh. "I wonder where my other siblings are... I mean, even Elena showed up early and she hates these formal events.""That reminds me... while we were eating, you mentioned that you weren't all that close to your siblings?""You really do pay attention," Luciana says, a bitter smile on her face. "I get along with my younger siblings just fine, it's my older brothers and sisters that I'm not very close to.""...oh," you reply."Though I do love him and all, Giancarlo's a cad," she says with a sigh. "As much as I'd love to officially have Marianne for a sister, he doesn't deserve a girl as nice as her... or ANY girl, but his good looks get him attention despite his personality.""And my elder sisters... I don't think they like me or my younger siblings much at all on account of the grudge they have against our mother," Luciana says, frowning.>[3/?]
>>28919633that's because we're under the impression we can never get over it and move on NEVERalso it's a free excuse card so our traumas can be triggered
>>28919675>"You really do pay attention""Well, I have this insane legion of faceless men in my head that shriek at me with the schizophrenic passions of a Beholder that distrusts each and every one of its own kind. They keep a pretty tight record of everything I see and hear.">CAPTCHA hatemid paul
>>28919675Archelon, how old are Celestino and his children, if that isn't privy information?
>>28919672I can imagine the two of them getting married and then never having sex.
>>28919675>"And my elder sisters... I don't think they like me or my younger siblings much at all on account of the grudge they have against our mother," Luciana says, frowning.Well I'm interested.
>>28919672Reinhold hesitated, then stepped forwards. Marianne looked up into his eyes for a second, but averted them blushing."Are... are you sure you want to do this?" Reinhold asked."Yes..." Marianne spoke so silently Reinhold almost didn't hear her. "I need to solve this problem... this... thing with intimacy...""This fear," Reinhold echoed.Marianne blinked her eyes and nodded. She looked so vulnerable. Reinhold ached help her -- and yet, he feared it too. That intimacy that two souls intertwined had... that could seep into your being and make root and then break you from the inside like a weathered boulder.Reinhold stretched out his hand."May I?"Marianne nodded. She swallowed, then shook her head. Reinhold waited.She nodded again.Reinhold's hand went out and touched her fingertips. Her arm twitched, and Reinhold stopped, holding his breath."No, please," Marianne sighed, "continue..."Reinhold hesitated, aching to do it. With a swoop, he grabbed onto her hand.Marianne squealed. Reinhold held on harder.His hand roamed over hers, exploring every nook and cranny. The soft palm of her hand, the valleys between her fingers and knuckles, the webbing that connected the skin of each digit, her protruding thumb. Her hand was getting sweaty, the skin excreting the sweet wetness that regulated her body temperature."Mhng," Marianne made a small, almost inaudible sound. "Please..." she whispered, almost in tears... "Continue..."Reinhold intertwined his fingers with hers. They were finally one.
>>28919700Celestino is over a hundred - it was mentioned earlier in this thread, in fact.
>>28919708Yeah, I got it, I just wanted precise numbers.
>>28919675Hmm, so while Giancarlo's a slimy, pervert, he isn't actually a douchebag then?Or is at least tolerable compared to the rest of Marconetti's nobles?
>>28919704Ah lawd
>>28919704Damnit man, we're on a blue board.
>>28919704
>>28919704But marianne already held rein's hands.
>>28919675"Uh... they have something against your mother?" you ask."Yes," Luciana nods. "Our mother is Father's second wife, he remarried a few years after his first wife died of a heartattack shortly after giving birth to Giancarlo.""...damn.""My mother is around their age, so my best guess is that they think that she only married Father for his title... though that's just foolishness," she says with a scowl on her face that reminds you of Sir Gregory. "So even though I looked up to them when I was a little girl, they've never cared for me very much.""I'm really sorry to hear that," you say, feeling kind of terrible about her situation with her sisters."Yes, well I try not to think of them too much," Luciana replies. "And neither of them actually lives in the country anymore so I don't have to see them very often.""And then there are my other two brothers...">[4/?]
>>28919744then he DID rape her, no?
>>28919754Marie initiated.
>>28919754she initiated it
>>28919672How much Marie know about Spinelle? We did whole "confess your past" to her, it included also Spinelle?
>>28919744Which thread did that happen?I need my fix of lewd handholding
>>28919766I think it's still just what she could infer from the delirious ramblings when we were frozen.
>>28919672Good god, I don't think I could continue with this quest if that went down.
>>28919766Arch wrote that Rein held back the worst parts so no Spinelle.
>>28919766we likely left out names and glossed over that part, implying that we were abused but not stating how.
>>28919766Left out the worst bits, which includes her.
>>28919766We apparently kept the darkest stuff to ourselves, though considering that she heard how we talked about Spinelle during our BSoD, and that she now knows that we were raised in a whorehouse, I wouldn't be surprised if she knew more or less what happend
>>28919766I think we generally file Spinelle under "And a lot of bad stuff I'd rather not get into details about happened" when we talk about our past with others. We avoid going into details about the really bad stuff.
>>28919773Yes Spinelle. She heard the name during the dance lessons and Reinhold later told her his backstory, although without most lurid details.
>>28919767When marie dragged Rein to go see Slyvie lay the smackdown on nik.
Is there anywhere where Spinelle is put into greater detail other than the fun PTSD episode? I looked through the archive but I may have glossed over it.
>>28919779She's probably the character I'd turn to to actually talk about that. She'd be able to relate, she basically already knows, and she's the one who knows Reinhold the most at this point.
>>28919791She's Karel's mom.
>>28919807>Implying Karel's mom isn't a spy from what its-face country
>>28919791She's Giancarlo's first wife.
>>28919816She's clearly Marianne's previous bodyguard's girlfriend
>>28919813Why would a spy spend 14 years training her kid to win a tournament that only existed by chance to become a bodyguard in the castle so she could infiltrate it when she could have just got a job as a maid and been doing her job as a spy already for the past decade?
>>28919778It's better that way.
>>28919822Obviously she and Karel aren't actually related, and are sleeper agents under a hypnotic spell, waiting to be triggered.
I wonder how other girls would react if Reinhold totally by accident would touch their peaches.
>>28919822She's playing the long game, obviously.
>>28919813>whynotboth.jpg>>28919821But who's raping who then?>>28919822Decades don't mean shit when you got so many centenarians wandering around. Plus for all we know she could be a familiar from the ara ara dimension.
>>28919822It's a plan so stupidly complicated that no one would ever suspect that it could be the caseWell that or the spy used magic to swap places with his mom
>>28919833I hope based archelon gives us a run down on what would('ve) happened if it were another girl.
>>28919836They're happily raping each other, and Marianne and Reinhold's minds
>>28919813>>28919816>>28919821Maybe she's all of the above.Ex-bodyguard in attempt to flee from Granashe Secret Service had a genderswap spell cast on him and in case that was not enough escaped to the past where she entered Ancelotta's spymasters' services who tasked her to infiltrate Marconetti. To that end she adopted/gave birth to Karel and now she aims to seduce one of Celestino's sons.
>>28919833>>28919840Wait for the VN
>>28919791Honestly, we're almost as well-informed on the particulars as Marianne is.Considering the inspirations for this whole quest, I wouldn't be surprised if it took quite a while for what ACTUALLY happened to Reinhold to come to light. It's the sort of thing that gets hinted at heavily during the early character development bits, and only really dropped on you in earnest after things are well underway.>>28919807>>28919813I'm still convinced Karel's mom had a fling with Adrien, and he panicked and flew the coop when he learned there was a baby on the way. I outlined a bunch of foreshadowing stuff hinting at it during a previous thread, but I can't be bothered remembering where.
>>28919840>we run out of room>we run into melanie like every time>we accidentally fall on her>we grab her peaches>we help her back up>we apologize for knocking over the fruit>proceed day as normal>meido still gets no presence
>>28919833>>28919840Nicolette would punch him in the face.Sylvie would punch him in the face so hard that he'd need to get a new face.Melanie would run away crying.Luciana would slap him because she is a lady and that is unacceptable actions for a gentleman... before marriage, anyways.Rana would laugh and then grab him right back. Hard.
>>28919858That's quite probable. Just put in some awkardness and blushing somewhere in there before going on as normal.
>>28919857If I remember correctly Adrien was big and muscular. Karel isn't exactly either of those, he's fast and a damn good swordsman, but his build doesn't really resemble Adrien's. It doesn't really seem likely that they're related.
>>28919858You forgot about>we run out or room with slice of bread in mouth, and turkey legs in our hands
>>28919840As long as they don't start hitting him hard, then I doubt Reiny would have a big reaction
>>28919866So...Marianne's peaches are more dangerous than Nicolette's but less so than Sylvie's and Rana's.Time to file this information away somewhere safe for later.
>>28919866SO we are dead in any case?
>>28919876Marianne was about to kill Reinhold considering that she froze him, and started to strangle him too, she's at the very top when it comes to danger
>>28919889Marianne's got a greater risk/reward ratio, though.20/10 peaches.
>>28919870oh shit, yeahman she probably picked those peaches to make a pie too thanks reinhold :(
>>28919866>Luciana would slap him because she is a lady and that is unacceptable actions for a gentleman... before marriage, anyways.I'm shocked, I through she would only smirk, and brag about finally touching her perfect body. At least at private.
>>28919889While your opinion is as every it valid as mine, I don't think any of that was lethal.Sylvie and Rana rearranging Reinhold's anatomy, however, is.
>>28919866>Rana would laugh and then grab him right back. Hard.so basically...
>>28919753>[5/5]"My eldest brother Alberto is a nice guy, but he's generally too busy to spend much time with any of us," Luciana sighs. "While he's not -quite- as nice as you are, I think the two of you would get along.""Oh, so he's not like your big sisters?" you ask."No, he likes Mother quite a bit," she replies. "And he's always treated all of us very well."Well, at least she has that."And finally, there's my other big brother Pellegrino, who is a layabout who just kind of ran off one day because he got tired of Father's insistence that he marry one of the girls that he had lined up for him," Luciana says. "I haven't seen him since I was a toddler.""..huh. I wasn't expecting to hear that," you reply."Yes... though I was really young when it happened, I remember that Father was QUITE distraught for several months afterwards," Luciana says with a solemn expression. "And that's why I have no intention of doing the same, regardless of how much I'd honestly like to.">anything else you wanted to talk about?
>>28919866......I wish to touch dragon peaches.
>>28919900We almost died from frostbite, manWe are lucky as fuck that Niklaus got there in time.
>>28919913Can't really think of anything.I guess move on to talking to the meido and marianne.
Erm, I never figured out if the peaches in question were Marie's breasts or her ass.Could someone enlighten me?
>>28919913Nope, can't think of anythingTime to hang with the Meido, and Princess
>>28919915>MUH DRAGON PEACHES
>>28919913I'm good. Go check on our princess now.
>>28919913Can't think of anything else to ask. Let's move on to next batch of girls.
>>28919913Honestly, my topics were exhausted before we even approached her so I'm good. Got quite a bit of info too.I guess go check on Marianne and Melanie now.
>>28919913Ask her, if she got any question for us, if not, then proceed to bodyguard Marie.
>>28919913She travels around more freely than Marianne, right?Maybe asking if she ever considered bringing her around, or attempted to.
>>28919913I guess we're good.
>>28919926>28919926Marie and Nico are DFC, anon.
>>28919913>"Oh. That's too bad. I'm sorry.">"So do you usually prey on all of Marianne's bodyguards, or am I just that handsome?"Time to tease out what Luciana knows about Marianne's old bodyguard/the one we replaced.
>>28919956This
>>28919913Maybe see if she wants to ask about us, because I'm sure she wants to.
>>28919913I got nothing.I guess go talk about babies or whatever now.
>>28919956Oh god, this so much.>inb4 OOC
>>28919956That's kind of fucking dumb. At least don't be that roundabout with it. Just straight up ask her if you want to know.
>>28919913We probably shouldn't leave the conversation ending on this note. And she's been talking about herself, we ought to talk about ourself and our family as well."I understand, family is important.I was really relieved when I saw Citrine again recently, I hadn't seen her since I joined the military, I was worried about her for a pretty long time. But it seems to have all worked out.If there's any reason why I ended up a nice person it's because of her."
>>28919956Fucking this.
>>28919956nooooo
>>28919913I believe we are done here. Onward to new adventures!
>>28919956This isn't too out of character, we've responded to her flirting before, right?
>>28919866what is thou secrets Rana's buttocks
>>28919913I think we're good. Let's get going to see the others.>>28919956Not this.
>>28919700Alberto is 29Pellegrino is 26Giancarlo is 20Luciana is 15Emilio is 14Elena is 8Chiara is 1
>>28919866>Sylviedaddy's girl.>Rana would laugh and then grab him right backIn her final form?
>>28919996So the king was 70+ when he got his first child?
>>28919956Please dont
>>28919956I'm fine with asking about him, but don't be quite so indirect about it.
>>28919956Get some closing conversation and pleasantries in and go on to see how the Meido and Marie are doing.
>>28919956Does she know about Marianne's old bodyguard? This kind of sounds really dangerous to ask if she does.Also this option contradicts asking her to knock it off with the flirting with us flirting back. As much as I'd like to do it later, I'm pretty sure this isn't the right time.
>>28919952I thought Marie was like a B cup and also that these were the peaches in question.
>>28919956Feels like this is verging on the kind of gossipy that Marianne finds deplorable.>>28919975This is pretty reasonable.I'm also not sure why we need to just leave Luciana to her not-so-covert pining when we could just go over and talk with Marianne and co... with Luciana.Like, maybe the perpetual flirting gets on Marianne's nerves a bit, but Luciana already sort of knows that based on the conversation they had in private and will likely tone it down a bit.They're friends, right? What's weird about the two of them and their bodyguards in the same corner? It's even gossip-proof. (Mostly.)
>>28920004the pussy game's ridiculous
>>28920015It's also really stupid since we know her bodyguard is scum.
>>28919956This because nothing could ever go wrong.
>>28920019I would touch all peaches Marie got. I like cold.
>>28920032
>>28920025>Feels like this is verging on the kind of gossipy that Marianne finds deplorable.And that Luciana finds deplorable. That really everyone would find deplorable.
>>28920027This too. Why would we even ask this if we know he's a scumbag?
>>28919988oh Rein knows how to flirt alrightthose classes that was mandatory taught him how too.Men would swoon over his flirting if it weren't for his trauma.....wait..
>>28920051So we can get his name, which if you remember correctly Nico didn't tell us.If we know his name then if we ever run across him we might know who it is and know that he deserves to be stabbed.
>>28920078Then just fucking ask instead of being all gossipy, flirty like an idiot.
>>28920019peaches refers to her posterior.
>>28920085B-but we want to be clever...
>>28920078That is not our job though, and doing so on international event could concievably cause more damage than his perverted shenanigans did.
>>28920085In my response to that guy I said we should ask directly. All I was doing was answering why people would want to ask her about this sort of thing.
>>28920087Japs must be tiny
>>28919956No, this sort of topic should be asked at a different time
>>28920078Huh.Actually, this sounds like a good option then. Never considered that part of it. Also if she can get all the flirting in she can, we might as well do the same. Better than us doing it in the middle of the party.Unless footsies actually happen.
>>28920033Lucy can be cold man.COLD
>>28920092You're also being a hypocrite and a bit of a jerk. We just told her to cut the flirtyness off and since we already know he's scum we're basically just being the kind of gossipy fucktard Marie and everyone else hates.You got a question you fucking ask it. You don't fish for answers like that when you don't even have a reason to.
>>28920095>international eventDo you suggest we would be so dumb to murder him during ball? He clearly wanted to stab him while we are on some kind of adventure, outside palace.
>>28920078>If we know his name then if we ever run across him we might know who it is and know that he deserves to be stabbed.You mean one of the two specific reasons we were given that they weren't going to tell us his name in the first place?Fuck, if it's going to come up, it'll be when Marianne is around, and she'll let us know if/when there is a clear and present danger to her well-being.I mean, come on. We wouldn't have volunteered Spinelle's name to them if it hadn't been for accidental going-into-shock hypothermia ramblings; why the fuck do you want us to pry into Marianne's business so bad that you're going to try and finagle it out of her friend on a technicality after her other two closest friends specifically brick-walled you out of respect for her own privacy and peace of mind?
>>28919704Oh man someone copypastad my dumb thing.But please next time pastebin that. I don't want to annoy the QM.
>>28920098In shape, not size.
>>28920126It would not be the first time emotion got the better of Reinhold('s voices). But even tracking this person down in our free time would be 1) pointless waste of time and 2) wrong.
>>28920117>>28920129These. It's not really a good idea to ask this. Especially like that.
>>28919956
>>28920160And then there's this faggot. I know an option's a dumb idea if someone uses this picture.
>>28920150Yeah, I'm agreeing here. This shit is ridiculously rude, guys.
>>28919913>Pellegrino, who is a layabout who just kind of ran off one day because he got tired of Father's insistence that he marry one of the girls that he had lined up for him," Luciana says. "I haven't seen him since I was a toddler.What do we know about Adrien other then he likes himself a Waitress?
>>28920179That he is probably a bit older than Pellegrino; let's say all that stuff happened five years ago, which would have made Pellegrino around 20-21.
>>28920168You solved the greatest puzzle of the century and recovered the meaning behind that reaction image. Congratulations!
Checking your pocketwatch, you have maybe ten minutes before the party starts. It looks like eating that food and talking about whatever took up more time than you expected."I guess I ought to get back to Marianne now," you say."Oh well... just make sure that you don't forget about our dance!" Luciana replies."Of course not," you say as you wave goodbye.As you approach Marianne and Melanie, you see that they're idly chatting about something... though they stop when they see you coming."I was wondering when you were going to pop back up," Marianne says. "Finally got bored with talking to Luciana?">how do you respond?
>>28920233"Just making precautions against the event that someone decides to chop my head off."
>>28920233Man, snark is hard to think up at 5 am."Nope, just got impatient to see you" is all I got.
>>28920233"Don't mind me. I am sure i would enjoy hearing what you were just talking about, since you stopped as soon as i arrived."
>>28920233"one can never get bored with Lucianna"
>>28920233"I MUST talk to all princesses, it is your turn."
>>28920233"How do you know she didn't get bored of me? You know how terribly indifferent she is when it comes to me."
>>28920233"Didn't want to be on every local noble's shit list."
>>28920233"You know me, highness. She looked so lonely and bored, I had to cheer her up."
>>28920233I'm sorry Marie, I just asked her who I should wary, and to cut down her...attempts toward me. We don't want international incident during ball, whether it would be amusing, or not, right?
>>28920263This sounds appropriately sarcastic. And gives Marie plenty of set-up for her own jab.
>>28920263this
>>28920267Bit risky, Marianne probably also was bored.
>>28920263Needs a bit of work but I like it.

>>28920263ThisI want Princess to snark at us
>>28920233>As you approach Marianne and Melanie, you see that they're idly chatting about something... though they stop when they see you coming.Suspicious...
>>28920233"The closer the party get, more dangerous it gets to be around Lucianna. I am not exactly the most talented when it comes to subtly dealing with jerk nobles."
>>28920220It happened substantially more than 5 years ago, seeing as Luciana said that she hadn't seen him since she was a toddler.>>28920233"'Boring' definitely isn't one of the words I'd use to describe her, no.I just realized that the festivities were about to start, and I thought you probably wouldn't appreciate having to face down the hordes of chatty nobles alone while your lifeline was off fraternizing. I do have pride in my position, after all, and it wouldn't do to have either of us look bad before things had even gotten underway."
>>28920233"Oh so you were waiting for me? I am honored."with a flourish
>>28920263Gets my vote. Better then anything I could come up with
>>28920263This. Need that snark.
>>28920233With plenty of sarcasm."Nay, the fair Princess Luciana bored of my boorish and uncivilized company and cast me adrift.What were the two of you talking about anyways?"

>>28920318Why aren't you asleep yet?
>>28920339Shut it. Do not prod.
>>28920336It's not being snooty. We're just making a joke like we always do. While leaving room for Marie to make a jab like she always does.
>>28920339Shhhh
>>28920339I passed out on the couch for a good part of the day, so I'm still good for a while longer.
>>28920351Boke and Tsukkomi, eh?
>>28920339Soon.
>>28920339counting down to a cliffest of hangers...
>>28920379I am hoping we get the first dance today at least. Preferably with Granma Eschenwald.
>>28920390Archelon will stop the as soon as we get a 1 on our dance with Gramgram
>>28920356are you sick or were you just tired?
>>28920409I have no idea!>back to writing
>>28920415You are fine. You can totally pull of a 24-hour run with that couch nap you got.
>>28920430No, some of us have finals today!
>>28920438Like me!
>>28920438And some of us work so its a ok!
>>28920451Arch pls gp
>>28920438Bah, the only correct thing to do when Finals are coming up is to procrastinate the whole day away, and then start cramming at the last 30 minutes
>>28920438>still having finals>i'm still in the middle of winter vacationdamn what the hell
>>28920179>What do we know about Adrien other then he likes himself a Waitress?He's a theater enthusiast.>"Heh, you might be right..." Adrien laughs as he takes in the view. "It'd be a pretty good backdrop for a fight, don't you think?">"What, like in those plays you're obsessed with?" Volker replies.He's a magic-user as well as a swordsman.>"Whatever, man..." Adrien says as she cracks his knuckles and unsheathes the massive bastard sword that he had strapped to his back. "You don't break my fucking sword, I don't magic you into the ground."...probably with an Earth affinity.> "I swear... if you break my fucking sword, you're gonna spend the rest of the week inside a boulder."He is a fairly large, muscular blonde guy.> "Eheh... hey, kid" a familiar man says to you as he stumbles into the brothel, using his bastard sword to support his large frame.> "Yeah, don't you two have anything better to do?" a muscular man with longish blonde hair says, sighing....but he's deceptively fast.>Volker is barely able to dodge his sword swings, and Adrien easily evades Volker's attempts to counter.> "Wow..." Citrine says in awe. "I didn't think that Mr. Adrien was so fast."He also seems to have at least one younger sibling.> "Hey, little guy!" Adrien says, smiling at the two of you. "This past week's been fun... it's been a while since I've been able to act like a big brother and I'm kind of going to miss it."
>>28920451Well then you definitely shouldn't sleep. I go through most nights without sleep on my finals week.
>>28920478Hmm, my first though was Aquaman's brother, though the Earth affinity seems to put a stinker on that
>>28920456I have been working all night...I am just glad I had this quest to keep me sane.
>>28920526>waifu quest>sanePick one.
