"So what's the favour?"

"Nothing huge." she said, "Just a hunt." she draws her blade, then slices open a hole in the light. Placing a boot on the small of your back, she pushes you through.

You pass an entity which is a suited man made of eyes, who waves at you, then pass out the other side into Jean's room.

Girly.

So immensely, massively girly. Lace, stuffed animals, and pink all over. The chairs have petticoats. You blink as Jean steps back through, dismissing her outfit and appearing in her usual somewhat tight jeans and ribbed sweater, sitting on the bed.

"You really need to be more careful."

"Look, Mike, according to the Magical Agreement of Wales, I could have killed you, wiped your memory so you thought you were always a girl, or the like." she says with a sigh. "This way you can earn your meatshaft back." she continues, looking through her things. "Here."

She hands you a bathrobe, which you put on. It's big, pink, and fluffy. "I also wanted to talk. Have you read all the documents? This is important."

These two posts back to back is rather amusing.

Hmm, extremely girly. Memory manipulation. Familiar is a skeletal rat.

Anyone have a guess on what her Darkness is? The girly thing makes me think Yandere. As does the seduction attempt... but that could me be grasping at straws.

>>29158860
>No, just most of them.

>>29159031
I think it has to do with power and dominance.

>>29159031
We just saw that weird multi-eyed thing and she tried to make us kiss Thomas.

I'm thinking she's a voyeur.

I also don't know how you get Yandere from girly, like, at all.

"The one on emotions and magic and the one on Fonts I didn't get to."

She sighs.
"Well, then you'll probably need to. But in short, there's a sort of... bubble around newly formed magical girls."

"What?"

"The world sort of... fails to notice. It skids off their memory - the more egregious happenings are less noticed." she says. "But the longer you're a magical girl, the weaker it will get. If you have had that vent early, on your first day, people wouldn't care. But now they're looking. Tomorrow, they'll take pictures. Day after that, they'll call your father. Within a week after your transformation, they'd call the cops."

"uuuuhhuh."

"The gist of this is that your father found you out at an optimal time. But..." she frowns. "But right now is a /terrible/ time to get involved with other people. The relationship could fall apart at any time. Which would effect you. And since you're a support, it'd effect others around you, putting /them/ in danger."

Going by what she was saying when petting us (need to get her to do that again btw) I think it might be something like a desire to corrupting stuff that is pure.

But that doesn't mean I am going to give up on Carrie, if it doesn't work out then I'll handle it. But I'm going to at least give it a fair shot."

>>29159015
My point still stands.

The streaking thing IS going to happen again, being the primary manifestation of our kink, ABC it is something we need to have a mature conversation about with Carrie, not cover up and hide.

It doesn't matter if it'll make things a bit awkward, she deserves better than having this brushed under the rug.

Thought you fucks were brave.

>>29159272
I honestly though Carrie was exempt from the mind-magic and I am already fully planning on discussing it with her.

You're the only one who seems to think otherwise.

Considering this new info.

I'd say that Flares are probably worse than Changes at this point.

>>29159384
Yeah, a Change can happen in private and then be hidden in a variety of ways. A Flare is going to involve us publicly humiliating ourselves 9 times out of 10.

>>29159324
Were we supposed to not get a chance to burn a shadow token on reducing our darkness last thread?

>>29159324
"Are you trying to get me to break up with her?"

"No." she says softly. "No, I'm not. But you really need to talk to her before this happens again. Public nudity is one thing, but your Shadow will push harder and harder as things go on. Will you just trust her to go along with you jumping the bones of random people?" she asks. "How about putting on a striptease in downtown? What about taking her in a parking garage?" she continues. "She doesn't understand the lengths this will push you to. She deserves to know-"

"You just erased her memory!"

"And you need to be the one to tell her. She needs to decide if she's ready for this. And considering she was too scared to become one of us, can you really imagine she's ready to be one by proxy, through you, standing by you through all the nonsense?"

Jean meets your eyes.
"I look like I'm seventeen. The man downstairs pretends to be my father for pay. But I'm thirty years old, Mike, and I've seen a hundred and one magical girls become Umbral Rebels so they could keep relationships that had been sundered by Vents and Changes. A thousand people killed so that they could continue their romance."

She watches her feet.
"I was saved from such a fate only by the actions of Atropos."

Wait, she already fucking did it?

What the fuck, Humility? That wasn't clearly stated at all, I thought she'd do that after we helped with the hunt.

And now we have to deal with a severe trust violation because people weren't reading close enough.

>>29159549

But then he couldn't force in the arbitrary drama and SUFFERING he wants so badly all of a sudden

>>29159612
Coincidentally, the only reason we didn't even read all the documents is because some anons wanted to chat up and massage the salamander girl and he let them even though they weren't the majority vote.

>>29159604
Except we evidently agreed to have Carrie's memory erased without a second thought or a hint of regret.

Which is bullshit.

>>29159667
We agreed to erase the minds of all the people who saw us. Which included the 5 fucking people right there watching us and all the people we passed by.

THAT'S what we were trying to avoid.

We weren't going out of the fucking way to erase her memory. We took the only deal we had to get out of that situation. We never intended to leave Carrie out of it. You should know that by now considering ever interaction with her ever up until this point. Mike has been completely upfront about this stuff.

>>29159667
This is a bit of a problem.

Why are automatically complicit in the wiping of Carrie's memory?

>>29159725
Maybe we wanted to redo the event and explain to her in a "better" situation.

>>29159725
>>29159717
Your answer is right above you

>>29159598
She did tell you she was going to erase the memories of /those who saw you./ Did you think Carrie was somehow excepted? Or are you gonna tell me a 5/7 majority is "bullshit"?

>>29159551
"You're right. But... But I have been telling her. I have to explain Changes and Vents."

"And if she doesn't understand?" she asks, letting the situation hang.

You sigh.
"I'll talk to her. I can't put this off."

"Good!" she says with a smile, a genuine one. "I knew I had you pegged properly as a proper man." she says with a nod.

"...So... So you... but...Thirty?!"

"Thirty five. Technically old enough to be your mother."

"...We don't age?"

"It's one permanent change. Eternal youth. Not immortality, though. The oldest Girl is about a hundred and twelve, and can only fight because she has a great deal of magical power. Otherwise, she's very weak..."

You frown.

"Anyway, if it helps you explain..." she wipes some light from her blade into a bottle, which shines. "Have her drink this, it will show her what happened."

You take the bottle.
"And the hunt?"

"I'll call you and Thomas. We make a decent team, and we can hunt multicores by now."

"...Multicores?"

"Stronger demons with multiple cores." she says.

They just said they'd trust her, not "do it now" you railroading asshat.

And it's clear that no, they didn't think it meant Carrie because you rushed the sequence in an excuse for drama you hack.

And I guess people TRUSTED that she'd be make sure we understood that one of the memories she'd be erasing was Carrie's, or if we just though it would be the random bystanders, as we were feeling pretty flustered and rushed and not in a good place to make decisions.

Evidently, that trust was pretty fucking misplaced.

>>29160102
It was pretty obviously going to include Carrie.

>>29159934
It seems that is is just a case of miscommunication, where we thought trust her meant that Jean would use judgment who to wipe, and the author meant something entirely different.

>>29160023
"Thanks, I guess."

"I apologize. I tend to go over the top when I'm working. Atropos has had to scold me several times on the matter of 'the agency of normal men'." she sighs, tearing open another hole with her sword, leading you through. It leads back to your living room.

Your father, who watches you simply appear out of thin air, mutters "welp" and pulls out a bottle of Scotch to head back to his study.

"I'll head home. You have my number if you need more from me." she says, walking back through her hole in the... air?, which seals behind her.

Huh, that's odd. You didn't leave the documents like this on the table. Did Dad read them?

It obviously was not, since they needed me to spell it out for them, and even then they still didn't even grasp that it was an issue.

>>29160102
You're a bit right there, even if it should have been obvious that it could include Carrie, trusting her judgment could be implied there. However she did give us a way to return her memories and encouraged us to talk about it with her.

It's still not even that much of an issue at this point. He isn't even milking the situation for drama. The relationship drama is more coming from the fact that we're a magical girl and what that entails more than anything.

Alright listen up moron. Getting used to someone suddenly being a different gender does NOT include thrusting your barely clothed body at them. You gotta be gentle. Get them used to the fact that you no longer are exactly the same as you were.

You run upstairs, setting aside the bottle to get dressed in a long skirt and sweater. Then you put on panties, wondering why you didn't in the first place. That done, you head into his study.

"Hey dad."

He looks up from the fireplace, at you, then motions to the large chair beside him. You sit down. "We didn't talk much since you got home."

He nods. "Are you doing alright?"

He sighs.
"I'll be honest, Mikey." he says. "I'd be doing a hell of a lot better if your mother got home." He eyes the bottle, but instead opts for some water. "It's a lot to deal with alone."

"Well..."

He sighs.
"Well, okay, yeah, you probably... No, you /do/ have it worse than me." he admits. "And while I'm not gonna push you out my door for this..." he groans. "I sired a son, Mike."

"I'm still a son."

He looks at you, a long look.
"I suppose y'are." he says with a chuckle. "Your mother wouldn't be caught dead with colors like that."

"What's wrong with a green top and an orange shirt?"

"Nothing, nothing." he smiles as he sips his water. "Still. This is a lot for someone your age to deal with." he says. "I don't understand half that shit in the living room. But... It sounds bad."

"I'm being careful."

He grunts positively. "Look. I want to help. Do those things get hurt by guns?"

I have no idea, but I don't think guns would help much, I've seen the impacts my spells have. It would probably worry everyone more if you were on the battlefield, especially since they seem to have a lot of mind affecting magic.

>>29160602
>>Let me ask Jean.

Someone's decided to be a prime asshole on the suptg archives.

You probably already know, but...I dunno. There's probably someone you ought to talk to to clear that stuff up, or something?

Sorry if I'm blabbering about inconsequential stuff.

>>29160602
>Let me ask my familiar.
"Probably not, though. I've shot stuff with magic that tears things apart and it sort of bounced back."

>>29160602
"The problem is that it seems like most of the demons or whatever we fight hide in their own pocket dimensions.

I'm not sure if you can even reach them without magic powers?"

>>29160691
Misarchivist is back, it seems. Or maybe the Lone Voter has finally fallen.

>>29160686
>>29160654
>>29160696
I favor using the familiar but mentioning mental influence is a good idea.

Tell him about the students and teachers practically rutting in the halls.

>>29160691
Wow the trolls are out in full force tonight

>>29160729
that isn't a worse idea?
it also won't keep him off the battlefields

>>29160754
The thing is to point out he has no mental protection.

>>29160602
"First, I don't know. I'll check with my familiar.

Second, it's still not a good idea. You don't have any defense against their mental attacks, and no armor that would stand up to their attacks."

>>29160729
Second.

>>29160729
Maybe not that explicit.

Though we should ask the Familiar what the deal with that is.

Like does everyone remember that happening?

>>29160784
Best way to do that is to point out he will be useless or maybe even worse on a battlefield, not to bring up how everyone gets freaky.

>>29160794
Technically aren't we a support mage?

Like could our buffs work on non-magical-girls?

I'd say the question of who can open the door to the demon's magical realm is a more potent factor and the best bet on getting this line of thinking out of dad's head.

That way it's not a matter of him not being strongwilled or tough enough, it's just that there's an arbitrary restriction that isn't a failing on his part at all.

>>29160825
"Let me ask my familiar. Mephy!"

He appears, making your father jump a little.

"Mephy, how well do guns work on Demons?"

"Mmmmn..." he thinks. "Well, they work normally." he says. "On smaller Demons, like Minions, they are in fact an excellent strategem to avoid gathering darkness. On larger ones, well, they'll work depending on the hides and the protections that they have. However, if you were to turn one into a magical weapon..."

"How do I go about that?"

"You pay for a Weapon Addition with three cores." he says. "You can wield both, or one at a time." he explains.

"So?" Dad asks.

"I wouldn't suggest you doing it."

"I expected. 's why I wanna teach you."

"...Teach me?"

"Yeah. Assumin' you wanna learn."

>...Sure, why not?
>No, thanks.
>Er, they probably won't work all that well...
>Write in

>>29160939

There's no reason not to have a firearm, magician or mundane.

>>29160939

>>29160939

>>29160939

>>29160939
>>...Sure, why not?
Okay Dad may not be able to fight alongside us, but he can give us his gun or provide a supply of guns.

>>29160939
>...Sure, why not?

We may as well learn.

>>29160939
>...Sure, why not?
Even if using three cores to make it a magical weapon isn't something we can do anytime soon. Something to deal with minions that keeps us from Darkness build up is good.

>>29160939
>...Sure, why not?
Reaffirm Dad's faith in us, learn to use a new weapon? Hell yes.

>>29160939

"Though I think I'd wait a while before taking one with me, especially since I've been fighting in a group."

>>29161144
What, you don't want to fire into a crowd?

How fast can hastened incendiary buckshot go?

>>29161138
"Sure, why not? Sounds fun."

The grin on your father reminds you of when he and his brother in law start a bet. Dad doesn't bet on things he has even the most remote chance of losing. "Come with me, son." he says, "Thank god I wasn't drinking." he hums to himself as he heads into the basement, opening a few cases. A long rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun.

The pistol is slightly ornate.
"Gift from Shaun." he says. You know it's from a lost bet. It has some engraving along the grip, and it's nice. "Pretty accurate, all the parts are custom." he says. "It's a Colt 1911. Handy for midrange."

He moves on to the next one. "This is a hunting rifle." he says, "But it'll do fine for, heh, your own hunting. Accurate, simple, and effective at long to mid range. Goes to shit up close, though."

The last one is familiar even to me.
"It's a shotgun."

He nods.
"Yep. Remington. Simple to use, simple to fire, simple to reload, packs a hell of a punch out to mid range."

"But it's a shotgun. Wouldn't it be useless-"

"This ain't a vidyergame, son. Shotguns are nasty at all but long ranges. Hell, even at far out, they're still somewhat accurate, just not as reliable as a rifle. So..."

>"Which one do you want to practice with first, son?"

>>29161360
I thought the whole point of getting a gun was to have a non-magic option to avoid darkness build up?

>>29161371

Shotgun all the way

>>29161371

We've been fighting at close range basically in all our fights, so...

>Shotgun

>>29161371
Shotgun

>>29161371
Shotgun. We need our boomstick.

>>29161371
Remington. Spread would help and we can switch to slugs if we need to go for big things.

>>29161371
>implying we're going to be using anything but a slug shotgun

Magical shotgun slugs all the way. We'll magic up heart patterns on the front so they flichette nicely.

>>29161371
I'd say a pistol because it'll have the least amount of recoil.

>>29161371
>Shotgun

The 1911 isn't a bad gun, but it's clip size is too small in comparison to its stopping power to be useful against what we're fighting.

>>29161371
Pistol

We can dual-wield with our Bat.

>>29161371
I'm kinda pissing in the wind here, but
>pistol

>>29161462
I think a magical girl can handle a bit of recoil.

>>29161371
>Shot gun

>>29161473
I'm not sure that I want to give up the power and control that comes from having a second hand on our bat.

Okay, so we'll keep the gun mundane and have magic and non-magic ammunition. I'm okay with this.

I see what you're doing, Humility.

Don't forget to find out about those other documents.

>>29161644
>not throwing bullets into the mix as well
Utter plebes, the lot of you.

>>29161691

This. Change back and get some reading in.

I though the gun was mostly useless outside of fighting minions unless we wanted to spend 3 cores on it and the main reason we were doing this is because it's still good to have a mundane option when that's all you need to get the job done and letting Dad help will help him feel better?

What's with all these people wanting to trick it out with magic when that A) is less effective than our Bat and B) completely invalidates the point of using it as a mundane option to avoid Darkness build-up?

>>29161682
>Talk to Carrie
We need to give her memories back asap. The longer we wait the worse it'll be.

>>29161682

>>29161682

>>29161682

>>29161691
This. Documents than Carrie.

Before he leaves, ask him what we should wear.

Also

>Talk to Mephy

Ask him what happened to the memories of the people affected by that demon at the school.

>>29161644

Wow, I just realized that HUMILITY stole another thing from KLK.

>>29161682
>Call Carrie
>Read Documents
In whatever order.

>>29161691
Supporting

>>29161682
Isn't what we need to talk to Carrie about related to what's in the documents anyway?

Why not both? Just include her in that stuff.

>>29161691
Documents are important.

>>29161682
Documents/Mephy explanations of stuff as necessary.

Carrie doesn't remember anything yet so while it's important and time sensitive, we dont have to make it the top priority yet.

I think talking to Carrie through the remaining documents is a good idea. We should cover Darkness Vent and Changes the very first thing though, before giving her the potion.

>>29161797
I think it's going to take too long for her to get over, we should probably check with Jean to see when exactly she's planing to set this hunt up and invite Carrie over for dinner tonight to explain things if we're free.

>>29161847
Let's not talk to Carrie yet. We're sort of busy at the moment.

>>29161847
The remaining documents seem to be about that stuff anyway so not a bad idea.

Also ask Mephy how can we find demons before they cause trouble?

Like why were there two at that abandoned trainyard?

>>29161893
>What?
Mako and her bancho bazooka bat.

Bazooka Bat isn't exactly unique anon. If its in your random anime that doesn't mean Humility stole the idea.

>>29161893
You quickly head upstairs.

Which document do you read before going off to the range? You only have time for one, if you want full comprehension of the materials.

>Emotions and Magic

>Fonts and Magi

Sorry for two short updates.

>>29161913
I think all the demons we fought so far were Adri's Heartspawn. Since she's making them to collect easy cores for herself she was probably trying to hid those 2 after her first caused problems at school.

>>29161951
>Fonts and Magi

>>29161919
Nigga speak English

>>29161951

We're about to go shooting, we'll see Carrie later when we have time to explain everything.

You sigh, dialing.
"Carrie?"

"You sound worried. Are you okay?"
Tch. So Jean did it after all. You'll have to remember to be more careful around her. She manipulates you easily...
"Yeah. I'll be fine, can we talk later? Like, for dinner?"

"I-is your father cooking?"

"No, no. Don't worry about that." you say, almost laughing. "But you're clear?"

"I am. Are you sure about yourself?"

"I suppose. See you then."

"Yeah."

You quickly call Jean and tell her you'd like to hunt this evening, after dinner. She agrees.

You change into jeans and a sweater, meeting your father downstairs.

"So, son, what do you know about gun safety?" he asks. "Did Shaun ever take you shooting? If not, there's some stuff we have to go over first."

>I know the basics.
>I'm not sure. Can we start from the top?
>I know nothing!

>>29162574

keep it unloaded, safety on, always clean it after use.

>>29162574

Might as well get the full package.

>>29162574

>>29162574
>I'm not sure. Can we start from the top?
"It's been a while, and since I'm pretty sure my muscular strength and center of gravity have changed, might be a good idea to start with the basics."

>>29162606
I just realized, the gun won't disappear as it isn't part of our outfit/main weapon. It may be troublesome carrying a shotgun around in public.

>>29162574
>I know the basics.

Pretty simple: Always assume every gun is loaded until you confirm for yourself, never point a gun at anything you don't want to perforate, practice trigger discipline.

>>29162574
> Can we start from the top?

>>29162632
This seems reasonable, since a different body will totally affect stuff like this.

>>29162606
We should say that at least.

>>29162574
>>I know the basics.
Honestly I want to get to the battle tonight and putting too much time in learning how to use a gun isn't my idea of fun.

>>29162634
I'm sure we can just keep it in a gym bag. Of course, it'll make things much worse if we get caught with it, but into each life a little risk must fall.

"Can we start from the top?"

You and him work over the mess of pre-fire safety before you head out. It's like a checklist, mostly, and a series of values to always remember. Once done, you head out to the range, where your father shows you the proper stance for a shotgun.

"Alright. Put these on." he says, "Noise cancelling headphones."

You slide them on, carefully taking aim. "Good," he says, muffled. "Now, remember - squeeze the trigger, don't pull. Breathe out..."

You've forgotten how much recoil a shotgun has, as well as the sound. It's almost primal. You grunt as you feel the push on your shoulder.
"Good." he says, "Again."

The weapon goes off, and he watches you. "Good. Now reload..."

"Alright. Now I'm gonna take a few shots." he says, sliding on the headphones. His grouping is better than yours.

"Let's have a shootout. If you win... Hm. I don't know, what do you want?"

>>29162823
Oh right, his cooking.

"And if I win, you have to cook." he says, loading up.

"Alrighty then!" you grin.

The game is fun - a decent distraction from recent events, one way or another. You're surprised how good you are with the shotgun, at one point blasting solid bullseye through two targets.
