>What is this?The King of Fighters Quest is a developing Choose Your Own Adventure-style quest in which you take on the role of Katja Hartkern, an Austrailian Aborgine practioner of Kyokugen Karate and guide her towards joining a team/preparing for "The King of Fighters: Infinite Match".Decisions are made by voting, with the first option to earn up to three or more winning; Combat choices are made via Rolls, with the highest roll or average out of the first three submissions winning. (These rules also apply in the case of multiple options with Rolls.) In the event of a tie in regards to combat options, the option with the most votes wins, with NO ROLLING after a Tie has been declared; This also applies in the event of a DEADLOCK being declared during any voting stage.>Previous Thread:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/29580936/>Stats Page:http://pastebin.com/TaehTeQ0
>>29604704>Summary:After taking a sip from your drink, you nearly came to blows with Kim Kaphwan over conflicting ideas on what the true nature of "Justice" really means (Which was partly spurned on by what Kim had said to "Ultima" after their fight), though a cool head and swallowing your pride prevented anything from happening between the two of you (As it got bad enough for Tsuyako Horikawa to step in and offer to fight Kim in your stead).Cowed by Tsuyako's honesty and convictions towards her friend (As well as feeling a sense of kinsmanship with her), you bought her a drink and learned quite a bit about her past, though it took you to convincing her to actually "Drink" before she started to feel comfortable around you enough to tell you about it (And that was AFTER she told you that she normally didn't drink on the advice of her friends).After hearing a rather wild tale about Tsuyako's mother intervening on a date, you invited her over to your table, where you currently sit with her as well as Yuri Sakazaki & King (As everyone else that was with you at the start of the night is either around the Cafe or using the restrooms)...
>>29604729===>Days until the Start of The Infinite Match: 20===And we'll kick things off with a simple vote:>A. Continue the night as Katja Hartkern>B. Timeskip to the Next Morning as Katja
>>29604791> BNot sure we can learn more from this night, and since we are not in fighting condition, better to avoid trouble

>>29604791>>B. Timeskip to the Next Morning as Katja
Timeskip it is!>>29605171>>29604874>>29604881>>29604911===>Days until the start of "The Infinite Match": 19===You woke up in a haze at around 8:30 AM, much later than you normally would with a sense of emptyness around you and an eerie feeling rising up in the pit of your stomach as you have the Dojo virtually to yourself.Most of the rest of the previous night seemed clouded in your mind when Ryo barged into the Pao Pao Cafe at around 7:30 PM, telling everyone that he had recieved a report from "Blue Mary" Ryan that The Kyokugen Dojo you had been staying at seemed to have been ransacked, with Marco Rodriguez, Sho Hayate ("The Bloke with the Boomerang" as you reffered to him) and Takuma Sakazaki all spending the night in the hospital after being attacked by an "Unidentified Assailant".Thoughts of "The Man in Black" sitting at the bar at "La illusion" filled your head after hearing that, along woth a sense of rage, some vague guilt that you hadn't taken up Ryo's offer to head back to the Dojo (Even though with the timeline from the original report, you would've only gotten there in time to spend the rest of the evening filling out police reports)...
>>29605225THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!I knew we should have punched that guy in the face when we saw him
>>29605225I don't actually know whom the unknown assailant is, but I'm pretty sure I know whom he works forBut shit, was it a fair fight or not?Because either way I think we have some corporate heads to knock in the forseeable future.
>>29605225It was when the South Town Police Department's officers asked you, Yuri & Ryo to leave the Dojo that you started to get suspicious, making a virutal "Sit-in" protest and refusing to leave the grounds, even though Robert offered to take you in to a few nights in one of his family-owned Hotels ("The Imperial", a pretty ritzy place dead-center in the heart of South Town) along with Ryo & Yuri. Even though they ended up taking that offer with some reluctancy, you still stood your ground and ultimately stayed the night (The police throwing up their hands in disgust at trying to get you to leave, as the local chapter of the ACLU had heard about your previous "Encounter" with them and were pressing a lawsuit based on racial discrimination).Still, even though you won a moral victory and found that nothing had actually been stolen (Thank God!), this big, empty Dojo feels like it's starting to play tricks on your ears; You could swear that Ryo's out on the forecourt going through the last part of his morning warm-up as Yuri & Takuma squabble over Robert possibly dating her... But then they all vanish when you hear the sound of wind pass by through the Dojo's open doors, snapping back to what you should do in the here and now...
>>29605376>A. Train for the day and start with some stretches; Get your mind off of what happened to Takuma and get back into fighting. (Roll 1d100 for Dexterity)>B. Get on your 'Bike and see if any of the guys are alright down at the Kagura Clinic. (Roll 2d100 for The Speed at which you arrive there and Luck) (IE "Luck" being whether Marco, Sho & Takuma's conditions have improved enough to allow for visitors)>C. Go see if they stole any food and get some Breakfast; if not, maybe you could go 'Riding out and find a cool place to eat? (Roll 1d100 for Luck) (IE The Probability of finding food at the Dojo and the Probability of finding a place to eat near there)>D. It was one thing to stay the night to make a statement and offer support to the Dojo, but it's starting to get creepy now... Maybe you could take up that room Robert booked you at "The Imperial"? (Roll 1d100 for Luck)E. Take the day off and go riding around South Town on your Motorcycle; Clear you mind for a little bit and see if you can find a park to train in or something... >>29605335Yeah, it was a fair fight... But who's to say that Draco was actually involved with it? The Sakazaki's DO have other enemies to keep track of aside from The Paragon Group...>>29605258What would've stopped Draco from shooting you right there at La Illusion if you had? Actually, I should've made that an option...

>>29605564So, what did he just break their noses or something?Also >96 trafficaww, this ain't good
>>29605464>>29605491You let the rumble of your stomach pass out of your mind as you look for your 'Bike Leathers, intent on paying The Kagura Clinic a visit. After a few minutes to suit up and put on your helmet, you head outside and take a quick look around the Dojo before remembering that you had garaged your bike (A Triumph Thruxton, a modern "naked" sportbike) in an old shed near the edge of the 3 Acre property the Dojo sits on.Straddling the 'bike like an old boyfriend, you fire up the engine and let it warm up for a few minutes, "Blipping" the throttle once in a while to clear theengine before you finally roll out and ride out into the coutryside... And immediately run into HEAVY traffi for a Saturday morning, slowly tip-toeing your bike past barely-moving cars as a trip that would usually take around 20 minutes ends up taking almost an hour, with several close calls that only your judgement and reflexes keep from ending in catastrophe.You breathe a lot easier as you check into the Clinic's parking lot though anf park your motorcycle out front, then walk inside to find Yuri & Ryo waiting out in the lobby."Hey Katie" Yuri"Sup guys? How're boys doin' in there?""Well, Marco & Sho are going to get released later today, but Dad's going to stay for an overnight observation" Ryo replies, his mood seemingly on the upswing."When's visiting hours open then?" You ask as you take a seat ext to Yuri and put your feet up on a stool."10 AM for dad, I think, but he's sleeping it off right now" Yuri tells you as she's looking through the latest issue of Vogue to try and pass the time...>A. Stay the Half Hour and see Marco, Sho & Takuma, trying not to bore yourself to death waiting...>B. Offer to get some breakfast for everybody and try to brave the crazy morning traffic again...>C. Ask "Where's Robert? I need to talk with him for a moment" and wait around for a reply.>D. Something Else
>>29605887> CNEED to tell him about that mofo.
>>29605887>C. Ask "Where's Robert? I need to talk with him for a moment" and wait around for a reply.
>>29605937Wait, what are we talking about?
>>29605887>>B. Offer to get some breakfast for everybody and try to brave the crazy morning traffic again...What exactly do we need to talk about, again?
>>29606115Tell him that we saw the guy with the bruises at La Illusion with a bunch of gangsters before, and that that guy tried to kill us to boot. It can't be a coincidence that this guy came to the place wounded the day this thing happened.And I'm also banking on the fact that Robert might be able to link that guy to the sadist blond CEO (forgot his name) that tried to poison him, but hey, that's just me meta-gaming
Appologies for the delay Anons, Tiger & Yabuki; Had to get Lunch started.>>29606115>>29606158[spoilr]We were going to ask him if the room he offered us is still up for grabs, as well as what Yabuki outlined in >>29606234[/spoiler]>>29605937>>29605977"Huh... where's Robert anyway? I wanted to talk with him for a moment" you ask, letting your voice drop away as you ponder how much information you should tell him about "The Man in Black" and see if he ties in to all of this as Yuri replies "Oh, he just called me a few minutes ago; Said he's stuck in traffic about ten miles from here".'Yeah, it's a bleedin' mess out there today; I nearly got shoved off my bike a few times because some tugger wouldn't give me enough room" You tell her as you start to get a little more comfortable in your chair."Yeah, I got here early and it still took me longer than usual" Ryo adds, taking a sip of a water bottle as he leans up against a wall, the tick of a clock nearby about the only thing keeping the room from being totally silent as an uneasy tension fills the air...You wish the silence hadn't been broken the way it eventually did about 15 minutes later though; The unmistakable sound of an ambulance's siren blaring as it pulls up to the front entrance as a medical crew wheels a patient strapped to a stretcher in. You, Ryo & Yuri's eyes widen as you can easily see that it's Robert Garcia, a few bloody cuts and bruises on his head and glass on his clothes as Yuri screams his name out as the paramedics practically fight her off of them as you and Ryo follow Karman Cole down the halls of the clinic.
>>29606931"Wot the bloody 'ell happend slick?" You ask, your mind racing almost as fast as your body is trying to keep up with the medics as Robert weakly mutters "Asshole ran into me..." as he tries to assure you, Ryo and Karman that he's alright, but breaks into a coughing fit as his gurney's wheeled into the OR.Your left with a swirling mixture of emotion as the door to the Clinic's Operating Room closes in front of you, leaving Ryo and yourself to wordlessly stare at Karman Cole screaming at the Doctors to let him inside (Karman having been too lost in trying to keep at Robert's side to notice either of you), both of you seemingly at a loss at this turn of events...>A. Tell Ryo what you know about the guy with bruises that you all saw at La Illusion the previous day and see what he thinks.>B. Call up Mary, see if she's available and try to take this on for yourself; You don't want to get Ryo or Yuri involved unless they ask to. (Roll 1d100 for Luck in trying to reach her)>C. Head outside and start stretching now; you've got to get your mind clear of all of this and really think of a plan (Roll 1d100 for Dexterity)>D. Assume the Role of Jean-Claude Gabriel (IE Get an explanation for all of this madness while having the protagonists remain unaware of his true intentions)>E. Something Else
>>29607048> AThis is too important.
>>29607048>A. Tell Ryo what you know about the guy with bruises that you all saw at La Illusion the previous day and see what he thinks."Someone's targeting the dojo, or at least those affiliated to it. Someone wants us out of the way. For what, I don't know."
Rolled 76>>29607048...could we do>>A. Tell Ryo what you know about the guy with bruises that you all saw at La Illusion the previous day and see what he thinks.Then>B. Call up Mary, see if she's available and try to take this on for yourself; You don't want to get Ryo or Yuri involved unless they ask to. (Roll 1d100 for Luck in trying to reach her)If not, just count this as a B vote.
>>29607048>A. Tell Ryo what you know about the guy with bruises that you all saw at La Illusion the previous day and see what he thinks.Also, It'd be good to call Mary with an update from a public phone - I'd feel more comfortable with people we can trust proecting Ryo and Yuri.
>>29607371Sure.With that said, I'm going to keep the voting up for a wee bit longer, in case others change their minds.
Rolled 34>>29607574>>29607397 here - Could I make this an A+B?

>>29607951It's still basically A. Mary would've heard about the accident probably; we don't know if this was a random accident or someone targeting him, but it's a little soon to call Mary. She'd be investigating the scene of the accident, if anything.
>>29608038Just checking.===You stare back at Ryo, then motion him to follow you as you lead him near the clinic's public bathroom, looking over your shoulder as you whisper " Listen... I think that guy from the bar, the one with the black clothes and bruises yesterday? I think he did it."Ryo "What, bust up the Dojo?" He pauses at that, then nods and says "He seems to add up with the people that have been trying to follow you around... Plus, Bobby told me that you had a run-in with him when you did that shift at the Cafe 2 a while ago.""Yeah, that fucker tried to off me in the back... And he's got mob connections too; I was at the Cafe 2 when he was there with some little blonde twerp, THEN one of his cronies tried to buy illicit drugs from Lee's shop." You tell him, again cautious that you don't draw anymore attention to yourself."Jean Gabriel, yeah. Robert told me that he's the clown sponsoring The Infinite Match this year..." Ryo mentions as you bristle at his words, then mumble "Right... Of course he is", then add "OK, you and Yuri stay low for a while; I'll contact Mary and tell what I told you.""What, you don't think I canhadle something like this? We beat feet and busted tail when Yuri got kidnapped back in the day" Ryo asks, seemingly"I know... I just don't any of ya' to get involved when you don't have to." You reply, again motioning him to follow you as you lead him back out to lobby, Yuri looking up at the two of you..."So... What's up?""The usual, I guess" Ryo wearily says as Yuri nods, a preturbed look on"Well, that's just great..." You hear her say as she adds "Well, we should get going before an orbiting laser cannon blows us all up, or something" you hear her mumble...>A. Agree and follow them out of here; Your friends can wait for a little bit... Right?>B. Tell them to head out ahead of you; You still want to try and talk with Robert & Takuma
>>29609709>Well, we should get going before an orbiting laser cannon blows us all upYuri pls, don't give the d-ce g-ds any ideas...> BWe can tell Robert too about what we know, and maybe Takuma has something for us and our training?
>>29609709>B. Tell them to head out ahead of you; You still want to try and talk with Robert & TakumaAt least someone should keep an eye out until they wake up.
>>29609870>>29610022You grab your helmet and gloves and start to put them on, but stop just a Ryo & Yuri are about to leave, Yuri asking "What's up Katie?" when she notices you taking a look at the hallway that leads to the OR.You pause, then sigh as you tell her "Go on ahead of my guys; I want to see if Takuma's awright."Ryo nods as he tells Yuri to " Leave her alone for a little bit; If anything happens, she'll call us..." Pausing on that thought before asking "You WILL call us if anything goes on, right?""Of course" you reply as you trun to them, take a breath and head up to the receptionist's desk and ask "Are visiting hours open?""Your here for the patients in Rooms 1-7 through 1-10, right?" he asks as you nod. "OK, just a minute." You wait a little as you hear the unique sound of Ryo's bike fire up outside, then motor away as the receptionist says "Go down the hall, take a right at the first door then a left at the first T-Section; They're rooms are all next to one another."You nod at that and head down the hall and wonder who you should check in with first, as you don't want to stay here TOO long... Partly out of your own paranoia and seemingly new phobia of hospitals like this, but also because you're starting to get HUNGRY.>A. Go see if Robert's out of the OR, the tell him as quietly as you can about what you told Ryo and see what he says.>B. Go check up on Takuma-Sensei and ask him how he's feeling, then maybe see if he's got any trick special training for us (As that scroll we have seems to be bloody useless) >C. Go see how the others are doing; Even though you aren't as friendly with them yet, they need your support right now.>(Roll 1d100 for Katja's Luck in being able to meet any of them, regadless of Voting Option.)

>>29610862>>29610989>>29611148You head over to Room 1-10 and see if Robert's out of the Operating Room, more than ready to hear what had happened to him and tell him what you had told Ryo.Fortuneatly, you overhear him having a frantic-sounding conversation in Italian with someone else (Probably over a cellphone) and wait for a second until he finishes with annoyed-sounding huff. You gather your thoughts, then knock on the door; He answers "Yes? Come in" and you walk in, careful to close and lock the door behind you as you greet him. "How's the arm holding up slick?"He makes a face that you can't tell whether it's supposed to be a smirk or a frown as he then says "It's not too good now, but it should heal up enough to be in fighting shape soon enough" before asking "So... What's on your mind?""Well... Firstly, what happened to you?" You ask as you take a seat on a chair near his bed. "Well, I was getting driven there by Karman, my bodyguard, when some stupido slammed his breaks and T-Boned the side of the car I was seated in...""Do you think that it might've been deliberate? And did you catch who did it?""Well... I couldn't see the driver, no, but Karman's calling up the SFPD to run a plates check and see who owns that car... As for it being deliberate?" He pauses, stroking his chin with his free hand "... Possibly. I mean, if it was, then they did a hell of a job of trying to make it look like a real accident; The guy was just trying to beat the red light and got caught out, I guess... And he did stop and appologize." You pause at Roberts words, trying to gather up the information you know into your mind when he asks "Why do you ask?""It has to do with that shady-looking guy that came into the La Illsusion yesterday; The one you said you saw working for this "Jean Gabriel" guy..." You say, letting your words linger in the air before robert increduously asks "What, do you think he was responsible for attacking the Dojo?"
>>29611754>"What, do you think he was responsible for attacking the Dojo?"Well, he DID try to kill us a couple weeks ago.
>>29611754That's a positive, captain.
>>29611754"Well, I need to go see if Old Man Takuma's up yet so I can ask him that, but it seems likely... Plus, I've got a bit of a history with him" You pause, before explaining what you had heard and what you saw back at The Pao Pao Cafe 2."Hmm...Then it DOES seem like he's the culprit, doesn't it?" Robert muses before adding "But is he really THAT strong though? This kind of gig seems like Yamazaki's job.""Huh? Who's he?" You ask as Robert replies "A freelancer that works as a thug for hire. He's also known for going around and beating up Dojos here and there... Actually stole the sign to Marco's Dojo in Brazil a little while ago.""Huh... What's he look like? I might've seen him down in China Town without knowing it" You ask, thinking back to all of the shady individuals you saw while you were working under Lee Pai Long. "Tall guy, Muscular... Wears black & grey clothes and dyes his hair blonde, but keeps the sides his natural color" Robert replies as he grabs a glass of water from his bedside stand."Huh... I prolly would've remembered him If i saw him" you say as get up, Robert adding "Yeah... I wouldn't try to cross him though; Guy's a psychopath to a tee."You nod at that glumly and say "Well... thanks for your help mate; I'm gonna go check up on the others", pausing before adding "Is that offer for the room at that Hotel still open?""Yeah, just use my penthouse sweet up on the top floor." Robert says as he puts his glass down and you shake his arm, patting it and telling him "Next chance we get...""Yeah, yeah, I'll spar with you crazy lady" Robert smiles as you smirk back at him and wonder who you should see next you feel your head pound and hear your stomach gurgle...>A.

Deciding not to wake them, you quietly walk down to room 1-7 and note that the door's open slightly... You take a quiet peak inside and see Takuma Sakazaki awake and sitting up in his bed, reading a Japanese-Print newspaper (Today's news, the paper privately printed in China Town) wearing a pair of "Granny Glasses" you can't help but chuckle at.He hears you outside his door though, grunting as he says "Come on in Katja, I know you're out there." You shoot up in surprise at that and quickly walk in, closing the door behind you and smiling inwardly at your Sensei's still-sharp "Sixth Sense"."Hey... I know you got through the wringer and all, but how's the treatments coming along?" You ask him, noting that compared to Marco, Sho or Robert he seems almost ready to walk out of his bed if he were asked to."I've had worse... MUCH worse, honestly; These new kids that come in today, they think they're on top of the damn world, but they don't have the discipline to go with me" He mumbles, sounding all of his 50+ years of age as you can't help but think of a certain actor telling street thugs to "Get. Off. My. Lawn"... But you put that though aside for a moment as you bluntly ask him "Have any idea who beat you up?""I don't know... He wasn't someone I recognised or heard of; He might be working for that swine Yamazaki, but he's just a distraction from the bigger picture" He replies, turning the page of his newspaper.You think of what may have been plaguing the Kyokugen Dojo for the last few months, then askabout the first thing that comes to mind: "D'you think this tied in to those creditors always knockin' on our door?"
>>29614559Takuma turns away from his paper and looks at you, his face somewhat reading "OUR Door?" before replying "It's bigger than that though; The land we bought and built our new centerpiece Dojo on thanks to Robert is smack in the middle of a highway project the state's been trying trying to create for nearly five years..." Pausing as he stops for a second to collect his thoughts before he continues. "Now, as Roberts lawyers told me, the state can't just use emminent domain to try and reclaim the land back from us; They has to either buy us out or drive us off the land, whichever comes first...""So you think that's what this s'all about? Some bloody road?" you wonder aloud, not quite sure if he's seious or not (Or rather, hoping that he isn't serious)."It's a "Bloody Road" that's thought to be worth almost $150 Million though... Old-Boy horseshit; Everybody involved got to get their cut of the deal, construction contracts given out to friends in exchange for favors and cover-ups..." He sighs, knowing from his time at home in Japan how "Suits" opperate. "Hell, just about the only way we can stop the damn project is if we make up the difference we owe the state and pay them, officially owning the land."
>>29605887>A Triumph ThruxtonNice. Very sexy bike. The Norton F1 is even sexier, but then again I'm a total faggot for anything with a Wankel so I'm biased.
>>29614879You think it over and go "OK... How much does the Dojo owe though?", trying to keep the mood of this discussion positive rather than dwelling on money "We" (IE The kyokugen Dojo) doesn't have."It's heavy money... About a Million and Half and we have to get it before July 31st; Otherwise the whole thing's gonna default and we're out on the street again.""Hmm... Do you know what the prize money for The Infinite Match is off of the top of your head?" You ask, again going with your gut and thinking of the first thing that came to mind when ou thought of "Big Money" (Aside from "Knocking Off" a bank, of course!).Takuma smirks at your idea and replies "About $9 Million, split three ways... And the tournament is supposed to conclude on the 4th of July, right here in South Town in that new stadium they built to the east of the City's limits."You genuinely smile as you start to put the pieces of this mental puzzle together and say "Well the, I guess I know what we've got to then yeah? I'm gonna head out and get crackin' to get back into fightin' shape."Takuma grins at that, but asks "How's your Ki flow? I don't want you to fight if you can't master it.""I haven't really tried anything yet, but I've got an appointment today with Lee to try and help it out" you tell him as you head for the door, but then turn and bow, saying "Thank you for recieving me, maste""Ah, cut the formal shit; Does this look like the dojo to you?" Takuma jokes as you smile back at him, nodding before you head out and put your gloves and Helmet on as you walk out of the Kagura Clinic, fire up your motorcycle and think of what to do first while it warns up...

Rolled 8>>29616309OK, let's do this again.
>>29615788Before you roll out, you check your cellphone for the time, noting that it's not quite "Quarter to Eleven" (10:39 AM) as you use one of your phone's myriad of applications to try and find a place to eat... Only to find that there just isn't any reception out here, it seems; It takes you almost five frustrating minutes to find that the closest place of any repute is almost halfway to China Town, which you honestly don't mind but kick yourself for wasting time as you high-tail it out of the Clinic'sarking lot...And into the madness of traffic once more, the density greater than it was when you arrived at the clinic, though it's still somewhat "Flowing" and you make decent time all things considered; You make it to "The Breakfast Bar" in about half an hour as your mind and focus is filled with the sights and smell of "Americana"-Style food at this rather-clean "Greasy Spoon".You pull up and park your bike next to the window you want to eat near and dismount, walking inside as you take off your helmet and walk up to the counter, placing an order and paying for it without any trouble (Aside from a few curious glances from a couple of foul-mouthed rednecks, though they mostly ignore you after you shoot them an icy glare), then walk over to a booth where you can see your prized 'bike and fish out your cellphone, calling up "Blue Mary" to see if you can update her on what's happened in the last few days since you last saw her.
>>29617652To your dismay, the automated voice on the other dial tells you "The Number you have called is currently unavailable; Please, try again later" and your mood darkens almost instantly; What if something happened to her? Plus, if this thing is as big as Takuma had lead you to believe, what's keeping the idea that someone IN THIS VERY DINNER isn't watching you RIGHT NOW!?You let your paranoia aside for a moment as your "Disco Fries" and poached eggs arrive, the smells reminding you a little of what your dad used to make from time-to-time when you were a young girl... But then you double-take at the clock on your phone: It's 11:30 AM and you have scheduled appointment at The Sleeping Dragon" at 12 Noon...>A.

>>29617885You start to attack your meal, finding that it tastes pretty damn good for what you paid, but you don't really have the time to savor it as the clock on your phone starts to tick down from the alarm you set on it... After only five minutes, you take a quick breath, letting your stomach settle and ask for a refill on your glass of water as you double-check the time, impatience starting to wear on your nerves already as the waitress hands you your glass... You wordlessly snatch it out of her hand, take a long swig of it and say "Sorry fer actin' like a complete tosser mate; I gotta appoint to make!", getting up and quickly putting your gloves and Helmet back on as you practically jog out of there and get back on your bike.You fire it up, let warm up for a few seconds then ride out of the parking lot like a woman possesed, the sound of you revving your bike's engine being able to have been heard for up to nearlly a half a mile away...As you get back on paved roads again, you not that either the traffic's thinned out since you inhaled your meal or you're simply riding harder and smarter, but either way you're making good time when you notice the Mud-Brown color of a county patrol car roll up behind you. You momentarily freeze and IMMEDIATELY slow down by about 10-15 MPH, well within the speed limit as the car follows you for about a mileor so, then flicks on it's lights and speeds past you, slowing down a littleas it pulls off onto the grass highway divider before peeling out in the opposite direction, "Obviously after somebody special" you think to yourself as you fly into China Town and begin to navigate it's somewhat confusing street layout, though you eventually find "The Sleeping Dragon Pharmacy" and pull around the back, parking your bike in the alleyway that your one-time room overlooked.
>>29618723Your mind and heart racing, you pull out and check the time on your phone: 11:59 AM! Yu sigh in relief as you languidly get off the 'bike and start to take off you gloves and Helmet once more, stuffing the gloves into your helmet as you walk inside, noting Lee Pai Long wearing a similiar-yet-different outfit he had on the last time you saw him (Blue Quipao, White pants and a different mask) as he notes your harried expression and body language in his greeting "Nice to see you on time for once."You look at him and nod a little, explaining "Traffic's a nightmare out there today and I had to stop for some food..." Pausing before asking "Will that affect the treatment?"Lee's body language doesn't let anything on to you as he replies "If your mind is clear and focused, it shouldn't matter" before motioning you to his private, downstairs room as you start to strip down as he closes the door.>Roll 1d100 for how successful Katja's treatment will be; First three rolls will count.

>>29619423>>29619610That'll do... You just gotta accept that sometimes, the treatments don't work; Hell, I've lost count of how many times my dad's gone to my town's local chiropractor and ended up feeling worse than he had before (By adjusting him, the chiropractor ended up throwing something else in his body out of round... which is why he started doing accupuncture)...===You slowly start to strip down as Lee hands you a towel, using it to cover your front as he wordlessly instructs you to lie down on your stomach on a familiar padded table... though putting you bodyweight onto your stomach proved to be the start of an epic mistake, as you feel your stomach almost contract and seemingly shoot it's contents upwards into the back of your throat as Lee starts to massage you in certain places, his hands surprisingly supple for his age as he starts to poke you with somewhat large, gold accupuncture pins."Hmm...You're hurried today; Your body's reaction is telling me that there's a lot on your mind, it seems" Lee remarks as you struggle to keep from throwing up your food from earlier, the combination of lying on your stomach and the pins unlocking various pathways and chakras in your body being the probable culprits.After a few more prods, Lee starts to work out what might be wrong with you and asks "Tell me, have you eaten today?""Y-yes" you say, trying to choke the words out to keep yourself from throwing up."And how long ago was your meal?" He asks, his voice showing signs of concern towards your current well-being as more pins get pressed into your shoulders and back.."Ah... About 20 minutes?" You sheepishly reply, embarrasment in your voice as Lee clicks his tongue before saying "I see... Did you actually take your time, or did you eat like most other American dogs in this town?"Your face starts to blush after hearing his words of scorn as you reply "I... I was in a hurry, yeah, so... No..."
>>29620104"Um-Hm... I'll tell you what: I'm going to stop this session now so that you can wait for about an hour so that your body can properly digest it's food, THEN we'll continue... If it's alright with you, of course" Lee offers, clearly used to things like this happening in his line of work."Y.. Yes, thank you!" You yelp as you use your arms to push your body up off of the table and spring backward, curiously landing on your feet as you look around for something, hell, ANYTHING to possible vomit in as Lee wordlessly points to a wall.You look and clamber over to that wall, knocking on it once to see if it's a door while Lee pulls the hidden handle, the false door revealing itself as you look inside and see a much more spacious bathroom than you had expected, stomping your feet inside as you then drop your knees down on the tile floor and open your mouth, expecting to wretch... But you don't; You do a few dry heaves and feel pools of saliva to start to form in the bottom of your mouth, but nothing comes out.Somewhat relieved, you take a seat on the toilet (Mindfully of putting the towel Lee gave you before sitting your arse down) and take a rest for a moment, your stomach almost extending outward slightly while you sit up and let your stomach rumble and digest.After about fifteen minutes of this, you start to feel good enough to move and get up off the toilet, rubbing your washboard abdominals a little as you slowly walk out covering yourself with the towel as you see Lee off to the side, practicing with some sort of wooden training dummy ( A Muk Yan Jong, commonly used in Wing-Chun and Jeet Kun Do). You pause and watch him "Work" for a moment, fascinated by his movements and his voice seemingly screaming like a scalded ape at times.
>>29620440As he finishes, Lee turns to you and prefunctorily asks "Feeling any better?"You nod at him, your voice starting to feel little tender after last night and this morning as he walks over to you, pointing at the time on a well-hidden wall clock and telling you "We'll resume your session at 1:15, yes? You're free to go out until then" as he then starts to expertly remove the pins from your back...>A. Say "OK", put on your clothes from last night and wait around for about half an hour... Maybe you could see what wooden thing Lee was doing is? >Put on your clothes, walk out and actually explore China Town for a little bit; You didn't do much when you were here acouple of days ago...>C.

Maybe you could see what wooden thing Lee was doing is?Absorb, discard, add.
>>29620580>>29620627>>29620956"OK" you tell Lee as you start to put on your clothes from the previous night, shimmying into your slightly-tight jeans and white Tank-top as you then walk over to Lee, who's standing next to the training dummy you had just seen him wailing on a few moments ago."It's quite impressive at first glance, no? Though, the Choy Lee Fut variants are a bit more... Eccentric, than this.""I've never seen one of these before, actually... What're they called?""It's a "Mu ren zhuang"; It's designed to cultivate fighting skill and chi simultaneously... Older versions were originally placed in the ground, but this is a "Hong Kong" dummy that's designed to hang off a wall; Mostly for spacial reasons, as you can set it up in fairly cramped appartments and still be able to use it if you wished.""Niice... What's with the stuff hangin' out though? There's like three arm-like poles and one leg..." You ask, a child-like curiousity filling your voice."Well, this is a version that's designed for Wing Chun practitioners; It has the arms and leg positioned the way they are because they're supposed to represent an opponent's body in various positions and the lines of force the body can give out... Well, theoretically at least.""Huh... It must hurt to try and hit it though" You remark as you take a look around it, noticing that there are various gaps on each polle and the leg portion, as well as the entire dummy on a rig that also allows for a degree of movement."At first, yes... But those "Poles" as you called them aren't actually fixed in place; See the wooden slats on which the Mu ren zhuang are mounted? They have a springiness that is similar to a human opponent's involuntary reaction and allows the user to practice absorbing energy into their stance." Lee explains, a sort of sense of pride in his voice.
>>29621233"That's bloody trick for something so small... You mind if I try it out?" You ask, you curiousity getting the better of you as you look at this odd contraption like a kid with a newfound toy to play with."Well... It's not really meant to hit with; It's a defensive tool more than anything else... Still, I COULD show you a little bit." Lee adds, a warmth to his voice (As surprisingly very few of his clients give a damn that he fights, let alone ask what style he uses)."Knock yerself out mate; We got plenty of time 'till me tummy settles" you tease as Lee nods, then assumes a stance as he slowly, almost rythmically starts to "Hit" the dummy as you take a step back a little as the thing seemingly jumps towards you with each hit."You weren't kidding when you said that thing'll move on ya'." You joke, as Lee goes through his normal routine in slow-motion, clearly emphasising the power of his Ki with each hit."That's why they call it an "Alive" dummy. The older style ones that were made before the rise of Kip Nam were reffered to as..." He pauses, breathing inwardly as he strikes the upper poles and head with one slow movement "..."Dead" dummies. Of course, the trick is not that you know all of these movements and attacks... But that you can go through them like This!"Your eyes widen and the word "Incredible" is all you can say as you watch Lee start to stylishly move through one motion to the next, almost too fast for your conscious mind to keep up with as he says "They key reason I never really learned Wing Chun is that it teaches you a lot ofbad habits, specifically advancing in a relatively straight-forward way", hitting the "Head" of the dummy at the end in-tune wiith the word "Way".
>>29621546You nod in admiration at this crazy, god-knows-how old man as he grabs a small handkerchief and wipes it across the small uncovered part of his forehead, breathing a little harder as he huffs "Not used to going that fast all of the time... But still, my philosophy can be summed up in one question: "What beats a straight line?"You think long and hard at that question, searching for the right words to try and make you sound skilled... But you give up and shrug and ask "I... I don't know, what?""A circle" Lee replies, a grin you can't see starting to form on his face as he almost cheerfully asks "So then, What beats a circle?"You feel like you know where this question's heading and you answer "A smaller circle?""Ah yes, very True! But... "What beats a small circle?" Lee asks, though his voice drops and his mood changes as he wordlessly starts to look at the doorway behind you (Which you don't notice, mainly because of Lee's mask obscuring his face) as an unfamiliar voice answers for you:"Emptiness."You and Lee both turn to see Kazunori Kazahaya (The shady guy who wanted some "Ryu-gun" when you worked here for a day) Standing in the doorway, shuffling through a stack of playing cards as he puts them away and takes a shot a Lee, telling him "Nice that you cribbed my lines old man" in an oddly accented Mandarin.Lee screams at him in that tongue, demanding to know "What do YOU want you vile street urchin! I told you to never come back!" as you wonder if this is a bad time to be here... ESPECIALLY since this guy looks like he's the dude that helped "The Man in Black" leave "La Illusion" last night.

>>29621892>>29621948You take a good look at this "Shady Guy" as he exchanges rapid-fire remarks in Mandarin with Lee Pai Long, noting that while his mouth seems to be moving fast and frantically (Mostly because you don't understand a lick of the language), the rest of his body language is somewhat languid and relaxed, shuffling through a deck of playing cards almost on instinct... Then he pauses, turns to you and says "So, if you wouldn't mind Ma'am, can you clear out for my appointment with Mr. Long here?"You think of a thousand differnt things you could say to him, but then decide to tell him the (Half-)Truth and hope for the best: "Listen guy; I got in a little later than I had expected and my session's runing long... but Lee'll get to you as soon as he's done with me." Kazahaya takes a look at you subliminally massaging your abdominals and smirks, asking you "Let me guess; You ate too much too fast and had to go to the john when the needle hit you hunger nerve?"You blush slightly as you reply "Pretty much... But I was about halfway done when that happened, so...?"Kazahaya nods and says "I hear you... OK then, I'll be outside waiting" before walking out, closing the door behind him as you start to strip down again, not bothering with a towel this time to cover yourself as you lean in and whisper "Who exactly IS that guy?" in Lee's ear.He lets out a long, weary-sounding sigh as he tells you "He's a very wealthy, well-paying customer and let's leave it at that, shall we?" as he then asks you to get on your back this time, your mind starting to wonder how large this possible conspiracy at hand is and how much influence it might have over the city you live in as he expertly starts to unlock your Chakras once more...>(Pause Updates)And that's a wrap tonight. Thanks to all that contributed! If this thread lives on until I can get to it tomorrow, I'll resume updates at 10 AM EST, 1 PM PST.If it doesn't, I'll start a new thread in that timeframe.
Bump for the QM.
BUMP!
>>29622632So, I like the way updates are getting more and more meaningful, but it would be great is they came at a faster pace, seems like it takes one hour to get from one update to the other...Of course I say with no knowledge of how much time it takes to write one, but still even if we get less text as long as the choices are meaningful I think it would still make for a great quest.Also I think you should consider the roll-under mechanic for the quest, like if we have to make a Perception roll, if we roll under Katja's perception, we pass the check, it would kill the need to wait for your roll AND it would also get rid of us desperately wanting YOU to roll low when you might naturally/subconsciously want to roll high.When the rolls are done you could directly go to the update phase, and you could still roll in case you want to check the action of a NPC, again only having to consider if the guy rolled higher than Katja or under his own stat.I think it would help speed up the updates and make for more involvement in the Quest AND the stats.

But you still don't exactly "Feel" any better, at least not instantly as Lee taps you on your shoulder, signifying that your session's done."I'm sorry, but this will have to do for today" he mumbles as he picks the needles out of your body like it was second nature."Yeah, It's awright mate. I'll be better prepared for the next one..." you reply with a sigh as you get up and scramble to put your clothes and riding gear back on. "When's the next appointment again?" You ask as you slip on your riding suit and start to put on your boots."Same time tomorrow, if that's alright; One of my prior appointments cancelled and I want to make up for today" Lee says as you stand up and get on your gloves and helmet, taking a traditional bow before you walk out of the pharmacy and take a long look at your bike in the back alley...

Except nothing does; The bike roars into life as you squeeze the throttle, letting it warm up and then taking a sigh of relief as you speed off through China Town's narrow streets and back-alleys...After about half an hour of fruitless searching, you ride over to "Sound Beach" to get some training in today... And find that despite the heat, the beach is realatively deserted.

Rolled 100>>29629915>>29629928Our rolls today are rather... impressive.>>29629997>>29629928>>29629567...really really?You have my attention.Indecisive Tiger switch votan, go!>>C. Check out the "Fantastique La Femme" for a laugh while you wait for "Beach comber's to open.
>>29629915>>29629997Just noticed,I forgot to removed the O.I named them.I understand now.
>>29630109> 100
>>29630109>Rolled 100...this thread shall forever be remembered as the time we accidentally became a swimsuit model.Never change, dice gods, you insane, magnificent bastards.
>>29630108>>29630109Update's on it's way then...>MFW Nat 100
>>29629915>>29630108>>29630109You pause for a moment and half-heartedly try to do your "Warm-Up" stretches in the parking lot behind "Beach Comber's", but give up about half way through your routine and zip open your bike leathers; "It's too damn hot in these today" you say to yourself as you head across the street to that one "Up-tone" place you saw and walk into "Fantastique La Femme" with all of the grace of a bull in a china shop, feeling a bit like the elephant in the room as you look at the rather outrageous-looking swimwear on display (And can't stop thinking about large, intimidating animals for some reason)...Everything you look at seems to be over-priced to a fair degree and shows a little too much skin for your liking, with the overal design language of most of the designs being a bit "Neo 80's/90's" as one roomate of yours wouldsay (Who went on to become a fashion designer in his own right); High Cuts to everything, lots of bright colors, lots of suits that you think would probably get arrested for indecent exposure if anyone caught you wearing them...You have a giggle looking at them, somethingly strangely appealing about these bold designs and you can't deny that the quality of the fabric is top-notch either... Though a nagging part of you laughs at the image these "Clothes" represent in your mind, wondering "Who would actually WEAR stuff like this" with a laugh when you hear familiar-sounding voices near the back of the somewhat small store, near the arrows that show where the changing rooms are."And that's why we need women like yourselves, true Femmes to sell these clothes" you hear the french accented one say as you try to hide and stare in disbelief as your previous question seems to have been answered; Fiona Graves, Tsuyako Horikawa & Mai Shiranui are all up at the counter, with that Red-Headed Nurse from the Kagura Clinic and a slew of guys holding prefessional-looking cameras around them.
>>29630523HERE WE GO
>>29630523"I'dunno, I'm not really liking any of these... They seem kind of, risque I guess." Mai replies, looking over a Red "Outfit" that loooks to you about the size of a silver dollar as Fiona incredulous remarks "When have you "Not" been risque Mai? Shit, I've only been with you a few times but you dress like you WANT people to notice you.""Hey, there's a difference in trying to get a guy to notice and getting EVERYBODY ELSE to notice you, OK?" She fires back, before looking over her suit again, adding "I mean, if I was younger, I MIGHT'VE modelled these but...""C'mon Mai-Chan, you'd still look better in one of these than I would" Tsuyako offers, nervously looking at a Green Bikini Top and putting it up to her chest, grimacing at how small it looks as you blurt out "You can't be bloody serious", then blush at revealing yourself as the group turn their heads to see you.Fiona and Tsuyako smile as they head over to greet you, Fiona yelling "Hey Ozzie! Been a while huh?!" and Tsuyako saying "Katja! How have you been?" as they hug you from either side, your face starting to blush slightly as you see Mai smirk and the Camera Guys shrug and start to set up their equipment."OK... You know what Shermie? I'll do it if you include her with us." Mai slyly says as she points at you and Shermie starts to use her hidden eyes to look at you, her expression that of a painter or craftsman looking at every detail and imperfection and shaking her head "No"."Mais Non! She's..." Shermie starts to say before Mai cuts her off. "She's REAL. You can get lucky and get dolls like us to model and get your catalogue out there so boys can get off" Mai pauses, pulling up a Folding Fan out of nowhere and putting it up under her chin. "But if you want to sell clothes? You hire girls like HER... Or Tsuyako, actually, if these outfits actually fit her."I need to take a cold shower after that, GOD DAMN! Also going on break for about half an hour at the most.
>>29630871I am entirely certain that those two statements are unrelated.
>>29631029They are, actually...===Shermie takes one last look at you and sighs, throwhing her hands up in the air in a typically "French" gesture before reluctantly agreeing to Mai's request, grumbling a little."What're y'all doin' down here? Just shopping?" You ask, trying not to sound like you're completely in the dark."A friend of a friend of the SWF's booking team asked us to model for this place's new catalogue, trying to get it to tie in with our team in the new King of Fighters." Fiona explains as she and Tsuyako both back away from you, giving you a little room to "Breathe" after they nearly squeezed the breath out of you between the two of them (Thier strength greater than they had realized)."Huh..." You gasp out before asking "And what about Mai? Is she REALLY going to be?" "Their third gal? You bet!" She replies, cutting you off as she offers a hand towards you, saying "I'm sorry for last night by the way; I wasn't in the best of moods and started drinking a little earlier than I should've...""Yeah, it happens" you reply as you shake on it, then think out loud "Wait... D'you really want a girl like ME to model? Swimwear even?! Ya havvin' a ggigle ain't you mates?" You nervously joke, flubbbing our words as Mai & Tsuyako both reply (Almost in-tune with on another) "We're walking out of this if you don't.""C'mon, it's too bad... Right? I mean, hey, these might actually look good on you" Mai teases, noting your sweat-stained shirt sticking a little closer to you than you'd like as Tsuyako nods and adds "It'll really help me out too; I NEVER wear stuff like this.""Yeah, you told me last night over a" You pause, noting Fiona's glare then quickly say "Cola's, yeah..." Fiona smirks at your tell, but doesn't say anything as she heads to the changing rooms, Shermie waiting for the rest of you...
>>29631252NOW I'm going on break!
>>29629567>>29630523>>29630871>>29631252Hey guys, what did I -Well now...Pic entirely related
Will be commuting, hopefully I will be back when all the lewd begin
>>29631942Not lewd, but Katja doing swimsuit modeling definitely takes her out of her element.
>>29632048Don't break it for me
>>29632048Not disagreeing with you, but if /tg/ has taught me anything, it's that everything becomes lewd if you think about it hard enough.
>>29632048>>29632099>>29632166Faith in the DCEGS will guide us to our true path, friends.
QM Here. Got roped into playing cards with my friends; Update's on the awy.
Got into a wonderful discussion with a random stranger and got side-tracked from this; UPDATES NOW RESUME!>>29633123>>29631252Your body starts to shake as you take at look at yourself in your mind's eye, wondering "How could I DO this? I don't model, I ain't pretty... I'm getting roped along in this just to get back at someone else I DON'T EVEN KNOW!" as Mai & Tsuyako look at you in confusion... Tsuyako asking "Are you OK with this? You don't have to do it if you don't want to...""Yeah, I mean if you aren't comfortable enough with yourself to do this, then I'm not going to drag you into all of this." Mai adds, though her tone of voice hints that you aren't a woman enough to do something like this and the thought makes your skin crawl and your mind fill with rage at the same time...>A. Shake your head, accept your offer and actually, factually model with these incredibly gorgeous girls and try not to embarass yourself. (Roll 1d100 for Persuading yourself to go along with all of this)>B. Nervously laugh, say "K THNX Bye!" and GET. THE FUCK. OUT OF THERE! This isn't your gig; You punch shit, not act like a Bikini Babe! (Roll 1d100 for running Speed) >C. Stammer, stall, sputter, do WHATEVER it takes to keep yourself from the inevitable for a few minutes more (Roll 1d100 for The effectiveness of your stalling; Highest Number for this option wins.)>D. Ask how much this shit pays and see if you can agree with yourself to do it. (Roll 1d100 for Persuading yourself to accept this deal)
Rolled 69>>29633954>>A. Shake your head, accept your offer and actually, factually model with these incredibly gorgeous girls and try not to embarass yourself. (Roll 1d100 for Persuading yourself to go along with all of this)Let's face it - this is /tg/. It was always going to be A or D.
Rolled 8>>29633954>We ain't woman enoughI know she's goading us into doing it, but I want to rise to the occasion anyway.>D. "I'm kinda short on cash - any chance I can get some green for this gig?"If we go through with it, >Ask Shermie what we shoudl go for
>>29634110Well I'll be. Looks like Katja's a high-cost mercenary.
Rolled 45>>29633954>A. Shake your head, accept your offer and actually, factually model with these incredibly gorgeous girls and try not to embarass yourself. (Roll 1d100 for Persuading yourself to go along with all of this)If anything, just to shut Mai up.
Rolled 62>>29633954> A"Time to shove what I got down that bitch's throat!"
>>29634290We /d/ nowAlso you guys all know she's going to blackmail us because of this later right
>>29634323She'll try. Katja does not understand this 'shame' of which you speak.Besides. Magical outback musclegoddess outshines ninja chick with ease.

Rolled 74>>29634323Should've said 'No Homo" or "No Duckgirl" just to be fair.>>29634088>>29634192>>29634290>>29634535I usually don't do this, but I'm rolling AGAINST Katja's Persuation on this particular instance (IE Rolling for Maluses).

>>29634731>>29635059>>29635169I'm also upset that we didn't go ahead with this, but such is the path that lays before us
Nort 100% happy with this and drafted a million different variations, but Pic Related.>>29634535>>29634290>>29634192>>29634088>Current Thread Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtEhw0LUaQ0&list=PL36CA34CB8EF29633You hear Mai's words rattle around in your mind as everything seems to fade out of consciousness, an inky blackness overwhelming your senses as your body gets paralysed with fear, shaking involuntarily as everything fades away, your vision blacking out as you start to hear hurried voices in the back of your head, eventually regaining consciousness with your head cradled in Tsuyako's lap, your vision of her face obscured by... Well, you put that out of your mind for a moment as you notice Mai's also squatting down in front of you, waving her folding fan in front of your face..."Oh SHIT... Give her air, GIVE HER HAIR!" you hear Fiona yell as she runs over wearing what looks to you like a pair of black suspenders that all-but cover her as she stairs down at you, squatting as she"Jesus... I was only kidding about you modelling with me, y'know?" Mai says, trying to make you feel better but only spurring you on to cry more as you squeak out "Nah... I'm sorry!"Fiona almost looks like she's going to slap you as you brace for her hand to hit you... except she gently swipes the tears off of your face with the back of her hand. "Hey... Look, this isn't the end of the world alright? No one's going to live or die if you don't put on a piece of clothing and pose for money, OK?" She says as she looks over at Mai & Tsuyako and whispers "What the FUCK did you two DO?!" "I DON'T KNOW!?" Mai whispers back as Tsuyako shrugs out of disbelief as you just let it all out through our tears, fiona adding "It's gonna take time, but it's alright; Some girls can't cross bridges, some girls can't ride elevators... Hell, I met a guy that's so terrified of sex he blacks when he's about to... Well, you know, you know?"
>>29636141So wait, Katja spaghetti'd so hard about modelling bathing suits she passed out?This just happened?
>>29636141I feel like there's some long reason for this. Like hidden PTSD drama.
>>29636141>>29636392I...I wasn't expecting this development, but I kinda like it.May make working with the press a problem, though.
>>29636392Maybe she's exceedingly camera-shy in compromising moments (like in a bikini)? She's still mildly conscious about her build and appearance, how masculine and rugged she is.
>>29636141We could've had happy swimsuit time and now that's all we haveTears. Just Tears.I guess we should have listen
>>29636268Yes... Her reign of bad luck continues, but the REASON for this particular quirk is revealed below!>>29636141You smile at that a little as the thought of Fiona's words acts out in your mind, then look up and try to stifle back your sobs as you squeak out "I know... I KNOW Awright!? It's just... I'dunno, I grew up having to hide myself when I'd go out to bars out in The Outback, no one ever wanted to date me... Jesus, I mean, I haven't gotten laid in FOUR BLOODY YEARS!""Hey hey, calm down; BREATHE now." Fiona says as she twists her head as if to wordlessly say to Mai & Tsuyako "Play along! She needs you right now!". "Now... I ain't tryin' to be a shrink here, but... Did something happen to you when you were younger? Or was this just a thing you never grew out of when you were a kid?"You look up at these three (Tsuyako having scared the camera crew away through sheer intimidation and Shermie hiding in the back, scared shitless that you'll sue her for psycological trauma and calling up every lawyer in the phone book just in case), see the look of concern on their faces and the care in their eyes, then sigh and tell yourself "Fuck it; Just let it out now... I ain't payin' a goddamned shrink a Grand an hour" and take a deep breath, then begin to let them all in on one of the biggest fears you've ever had: The fear of being a woman."W... Well, like I said, I was young, livin' in th' Outback 'n'all... And, well, I started drinin' early, lyin' 'bout my age so I could just hang out around, y'know, PEOPLE 'n'shit.""So... One night, I'm feeling in the mood, I go and drive out to Brisbane and go out to a club, a REAL club and dress meself up; Dresses, heels, make-up, the works..." "Biggest mistake of my goddamned life; EVERY wanker with a weapon in his trousers stares at me, think's I'm looking for something that, honestly, I'm not in the mood for... And then these footballers show up."
>>29636392>>29636429>>29636442>>29636556It HASN'T EVEN BEGUN. Also, this shit's hard to write, but a choice'll show up sooner rather than later.>>29636774The mood of the room changes as an uneasy silence hits the air, Mai, Tsuyako & Fiona seemingly bracing for the worst as you continue your story: "Now, I know what you're all thinkin'... " The girls nod at you, the dreaded "R-Word" on all of their minds as you then pick up you story "And... Well, they got me drunk, I was a bit flirty 'cuz' of it, but the bartender was a friend of theirs or something and he spiked my drink... I felt it, tried to fight it off because, hey, I heard the stories 'n'all and then one of them stuck his hand down me skirt."The faces on Mai, Fiona & Tsyako's could only be described as "Varying Degrees of DAMN!" as you pause, then reveal "Honestly, I didn't mind it at first... But then the fucker wouldn't stop; Said he was "Loosening me up" or some shit... Then when I tried to he tried to like, LIFT me up with his arm still inside of me!"Mai & Tsuyako's faces blush at the thought and Fiona's eyes widen as she says "FUCK dude... I mean, I'm a wrestler, I've heard and seen some SHIT even as little as I've been working but... Just DAMN" as she holds you tight."Do you remember what happened after that?" Mai asks as Tsuyako starts to look like that she'll cry a little as you non-chalantly reply "Yeah. I started to scream bloody murder, grabbed a pool cue and beat the holy shit out of all of five of them; Last thing I remember was holding onto the pool cue with blood commin' out of.""TMI Dude, T.M. Fucking I" Fiona says, cutting you off before revealing "But god damn, that's rough.""So... Did that incident turn you off from dating guys? Or did you just sort of hide after that?" Mai asks, trying not to sound underwhelmed by your story."I mean, I never had anything like that happen to me, but GOD I used to have all kinds of dark fantasies like that..." Tsuyako
>>29637956chips in, trying to deflect Mai's blase remark as you stammer "W-Well... Yeah; I didn't try to date again until I was in me late twenties, thought I was gay for a while", thinking to yourself "Hell, I STILL think I am at times" but having enough control to not say that and instead add "And started to dress more like a guy... And 'ell, for about a damn month every guy's face I saw was that bloke with the "Sticky Fingers"..." You choke up after that and start to cry some more as Mai & Tsuyako come in closer and start to hug you more, Fiona asking "And that whole thing's what made you who you are today, right?" As you start to feel overwhelmed by the flesh of these women... Which is when you pause at her words as your mind starts to clear; You can almost feel as though you're mind's on to something BIG right now...>Roll 2d100 for a Perception Check against your psyche and whether you understand what it might mean; Roll-Over Rule in is now in effect (AKA Highest Roll "Wins")

>>29638514She has no inner voice... Or, forgets she has one at times like this; She's akward... Also forgot to add a quip from Mai commenting on that, but I have to head back to my house; Shouldn't be as long of a break as previously though.
>>29638581BASED ANON
>>29638620We got a 100,58 (or 100,81) bagged - I think we're good.Although I have a suspicion as to what this roll is about and all the wonderful oppurtunities that come with it...>>29638677I assumed, but it's still kinda hilarious.
>>29638677So Katja was scared into androdgyny because she was almost raped. I think this was mentioned a couple times in the past.
>>29638985Couple of things in the past, like the Raiden fight, kinda indicate this happened in hindsight, but I don't know how much was planned and how much was improv'd.
Rolled 89, 38 = 127>>29639662[poiler]I was planning to reveal this at some point, but it happening now just sort of sprung to mind...[/spoiler]Also, I hope this revalation didn't get too "That Guy" on y'all; My time between updates was mostly spent agonising on how graphic it could/should be, or how much could/should be said... It's a touchy subject for anyone, QM or Player alike. to bring up when talking about backstories for their character.That said, ROLLING FOR MALUSES.>Pic Sorta-Related: What one of my Writefag Friends thought this section should be rated.
>>29640624I appreciate the consideration you put into the subject - I can't imagine it was easy to right, either.>Those rollsAww yiss no maluses here
>>29640865I had an outline that was MUCH darker, but I got lucky because one of my Fa/tg/irl friends showed up (Who isn't actually "Fat" And IS a "That Guy"... Or "That Girl", I suppose) and helped me work my way through it... I owe her expertise on subjects like this in >>29636774, >>29637956 & >>29638396 >>29638514>>29638581>>29638620>>29638432You space out for a moment, letting your mind wander as you start to really think things for the first time in... Well, "Ever" you suppose; You've lead a harsh life so far, seen a fair bit of the world, sort of shrugged off what had happened to you and kept going on living like nothing had happened...Except that this DID happen. And it's not something you can just file away and forget about until it comes up again."Am I Gay?" your mind asks yourself as you repeat those three, very real words in your mind feels like ad infinitum... And say "No." You inwardly breathe a sigh of relief at that; Not that you dislike the company of other women, of course, but you couldn't imagine finding one that you loved enough to feel content with living with them for the rest of your life with, or even support a physical relationship; Besides, if you WERE gay, you probably would've tried to kiss a girl Like Fiona or Tsuyako (Who seems to strike you as "That Type") and see how they'd respond...Which leads to your mind to another very difficult, very real question: "Am I Bi-Sexual?" You pause at that as time and space seem to slow to a crawl in your mind as again, you repeat those words over and over again as you ponder how your life's gone, think of all the girls you seem to befriend... And see that this's much harder to answer; It's not that you DISLIKE men, not fully... You think to how you stared at Yashiro as he did HANDSTAND PUSH-UPs, fer chrissakes, or tried to playfully flirt with Bobby Wilson at thev Pao Pao Cafe 2....
>>29641496
>>29641496I KNEW it was about what made us thunder down under! (see >>29639662)but please, do go on. We need to know. For... reasons.
>>29641989>>29642139Patience, Grasshoppahs! You need to learn discipline! ... Also, this is touchy stuff to write and not make it TOO "Fetish Fuel"-ish.>>29641496... It's just that men seem to never be truly interested in you, or are intimidated by that scar you got when you were in your teens and never went away, or that you never seemed to find the right ones; Hell, four years ago you shacked up with some young Japanese guy in a bar the night you met him because you were leaving Japan for South Town and he was drunk enough that he was going to get it on with a "Ganguro Yuankee" straight out of one of his "Doujin Fantasies", "Whatever the bloody fuck those are" you think to yourself for a moment... But then again, you seem to look at women like Mai, or Tsuyako or even Fiona and can't help but feel twinges of jealousy and curiousity; They all have something you don't seem to have (IE Undeniable Feminine Appeal, even if Fiona's pushing it slightly with her size and muscle and Tsuyako's on the edge of being "Just-Fat" rather than "BUILT-Fat"), or don't BELEIVE you have and a part of you feels like you should try to find out for yourself... And no, your mind doesn't immediately shout "NO HOMO!" in a blaring caricature of your voice as everything snaps back into focus, your eyesight filled with Mai, Tsuyako and Fiona sitting near you, the long-haired Redhead asking "You feeling better sweetie?" as you note that they're all sitting close enough to you that you can almost see goosebumps all over their bodies...
>>29642208>A. Weakly nod "Yeah... I'll be awright" and ask if any of them are doing stuff today; You feel like going out and trying to be "More like a Girl, I guess..."

Ask if you could Spar with Mai, Tsuyako & Fiona out in Sound Beach for a little bit; You feel the need to work out your frustration right now...

(Roll 2d100 for Strength of Will to kiss this woman and Luck in Fiona's receptiveness)>E. Say "Yes, I am... Thank y'all, but I need some more time alone", walk out, hop on your bike and just RIDE; Clear your head of everything and see if you can figure this all out somewhere else (Roll 2d100 for How well you can Ride your Bike and Luck in finding a place to safely meditate)>F. Something Else (Open Discussion/Ideas on what her response should be)Also, think VERY CAREFULLY about this before any of y'all vote.

>>29642480>>29642459>>29642419>>29642363>New Thread Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPOdxTnZc1IYou close your eyes for a brief moment, readying your mind and steadying your body as you slowly reply "Yes... Yes I am, thank you" and start to sit up, looking down at the floor, thinking over EXACTLY what you should say to these three (Who seem to be hanging on you more than Yuri, or Ryo or... Hell, almost ANYONE back at the Kyokugen Dojo, for the matter), Tsuyako breaking the silence by asking "So...?", Mai looking like"I think..." You pause, wondering of you should just come out and say "I think I like girls... AND guys, but I haven't a guy that's really struck my fancy yet" and leave it at that, but you hold your tongue as you say "I'm... I think I'm ready to model with all of y'all... If it's alright, of course."Mai's eyes widen, her face seemingly expressing "THAT's your big revelation!?" as Tsuyako breaks out into a cheer and Fiona hugs you from behind, the feeling of her body pressing into yours... Actually pretty nice, you haveto admit as she helps you stand up, with Mai & Tsuyako getting up along with you. "What's the change of heart?" Mai asks, starting to sound a little bit bored by all of this mellodrama (As she feels that she goes through enough similar situations on her own day-by-day dealing with Andy Bogard) as you reply "Well... I've had this, this feelin' feeling inside of me for a long time now... About meself, about what it means to BE a woman, I guess; After what happened at the bar, I started to seriously train in fightin', Martial Arts'n'all that because I thought that EVERY man out there was like that one bloke... But as time went on, I started to think that maybe It was because I needed to change myself, be more masculine because the ONE time I start to feel comfortable being, I'dunno, a girl like all of y'all, I felt weak..."
>>29643616You pause to collect your thoughts before admitting "But now... Now, since I came here to South Town, I've met Yuri, King and the three of you... And you're all the most womanly sheilas I've ever seen..."Mai pauses at that, thinking "Really? This all ties into you being gay?" while Tsuyako teasingly whispers to Fiona "I think you turned another one over to the dark side, Fio-Chan.""C'mon, you know I can't help it" She replies as they turn back to you when you start to speak again: "And I can see in all of you strength, not INSPITE of being women and being feminine, but BECAUSE you're all women that are open with your feminine side, which I did everything in my power to try and hide because I thought that "Sexy girls were weak" in the aftermath of what had happened...""Because you tried to act like a "Sexy Girl" and got taken advantage of?" Mai asks, getting rude looks from Fiona & Tsuyako, but you nod at her harsh words and reply "YES! Because I wasn't strong enough to stand up and say "No", because I didn't know WHEN it was right to say "No thank you" and walk away... Because that was down to ME, not my bloody outfi!" you exclaim as you point to your chest, a spark of electricity seemingly shooting from your right hand as you add "And you know what?! I think the best way to prove to myself that I HAVE femininity""Is to strip down and show it to them?" Fiona asks, cutting you off before you could actually reply something else entirely... But you simply grin, nod and playfully kiss her on the cheek, Fiona blushing a little at your gesture before you add "Close enough. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check up on that bird in the back to see what I can get for wardrobe...", Anyone want to come join me?" before brushing past Fiona and practically marching down the hall, knocking on a locked door that reads "Office" in stylized type.
>>29643616>>29644366
>>29644679Yer damn right it is.
>>29644366>Meanwhile, out front...Mai sighs out of admirable disbelief at Katja's antics and asks "No Half-Measures with that one, huh?""Well, you know what they say: "The Outback doesn't Breed Quitters" Tsuyako cheerfully replies as Fiona adds "It's weird... She's got the maturity of someone half her age, the emotional depth of a battered tea-kettle, HATES to open up about stuff most of the time and makes you feel like your talking to a brick wall... But I can't help but like her", still rubbing the cheek that Katja kissed.Mai simply shrugs, then says "Hell with it; Let's get this over with before she glomps and admits her undying love towards any of us" with a chuckle as she walks down the hall Katja went down, Tsuyako shrugging with a smile on her face as she follows Mai and Fiona yelling "OK GUYS! You can come back in now!", the camera guys pouring back into the boutique almost as if on cue...>We Now Reassume Direct Control of Katja HartkernYou knock on the door once again, before opening it to find Shermie curled up in a ball, humming a song to herself to try and keep her mind from unravelling at the thought that she might lose this place (Her pride and joy as a clothing designer!) over you fainting at the front desk...>A. Walk over and assure that nothing happened, everything's fine and you want to see your wardrobe for the photo shoot, assuming that it's today...

Startimg to fall asleep Anons; This'll probably be my last set of updates for the night...>>29645039>>29645070>>29645105>>29645010You close the door behind you and take a look over at Shermie, your eyes seemingly playing tricks on you as you can almost see her hair start to change color, from her usual red to a more purple-ish hue and back as you ask "Hey... You OK?"Shermie looks up at you and you feel your heart almost stop as you can see her eyes glowing an odd Amber color through her her hair, replying "No... First, the gendarmes try to close me, citing "Bleu Laws"; Then, the Gestapo Femmes protest & boycott my designs, driving away customers and insulting my pride... And now you show up, at this fantastique opportunity, only to sue me for trauma from seeing my hideous clothes!""Whoa now, I didn't get any" "YOU LIE!" She yells, her voice losing the usual "Playfullness" Shermie has and leaning toward more of what her "Previous Life" sounded like as she exclaims "I heard you... Giggling in the front, making faces as you looked through my work!" You don't try to deny that as you reply "W-well, to be honest, your designs are... A bit of a acquired taste y'know? You either love'em or hate'em, at leasts as far as I'can tell... And y'kno, I really do like them." You tell her, "Not to far from the truth really" you think to yourself as Shermie replies "You... You do? For truth?", the sense of melancholy starting to fade from her voice."F'real sunshine... Shit, I might ask you if I can take one I like home" You tell her, trying to angle for clothes to add to your very small wardrobe as Shermie takes a sniffle, then asks "So... You WON'T send me to the gendarmes? Or the Gestapo?" while genuinely sounding surprised."Why would I punish you for something that happened soley to me?" You reply, again trying to get her hopes and spirit up (to mainly keep your own spirit up after going through what you did with Mai, Fiona & Tsuyako).
>>29646867"So... You accept to model for me? Along with the madmoiselles out front?" Shermie asks, her voice starting to sound as though she's breaking through whatever emotional funk she worked herself into as you yell "Yeah! I can't wait to try one of these on!, patting her on the shoulder and pulling your hand away just as it bounces off in an electric shock...Shermie looks up at you and sniffles, then shows of her agility by leaping up from her and gives you a BIG hug, her arms squeezing the air out of you and her ample bosom pressed against yours as she cries "Oh Merci!", then looks up and says 'I'm sorry for being such a wreck; This is important to me, you know?"You silently nod as you hear someone knock on the door, letting go of her as Shermie answers "Entre!", the door opening as Fiona, Mai & Tsuyako all enter as you look at Shermie and ask "Well? When do we get crackin' on that catalogue?">(Pause Updates)Thanks to all that participated today; If the thread survives the night, Updates will resume at 10 AM PST, 1 PM EST.Also, the Roll-Under Mechanice will return...

>(Updates Now Resume)>You are still in Direct Control of Katja HartkernShermie takes a look at how eager the four of you are (Well, three of you at least; Mai still has the whole "Doing this because the money's good" vibe to her) and sighs, admitting "Well... That's the thing; If we go right now and do a few shoots, the gendarmes might take us in.""Why? 'Cuz' of those "Blue Laws" you were tellin' me?" You ask s"Well... I don't actually have a permit to shoot photos of any of you" She admits, her cheeks blushing as she quickly explains "The person who hands out these things down at the Court House? She's the biggest... How do you say, "La Justice Sociale et Guerrier?" of them all; It took twice as long as usual for me to get the right paperwork to open this store because she fought me opening it every step of the way." "Oh god... Is she that one glasses-wearing bitch that's leading a Kickstarter to try to get me banned from The Infinite Match?" Mai asks, seemingly knowing who Shermie's talking about as you shake your head, mumbling "This fucking country man...", but you change your tune when you remember all of those job interviews back home in Sydney that ended in laughter at "Some fucking ABBO" applying for a job... When a few ideas start to pop into your head.
>>29657126>A. Call up Robert Garcia and see if he know's somebody that lives around here with a private beach, or an Island that's nearby or something... (Roll 2d100 for Luck in Reaching him and Luck in him finding a place Shermie could use)>B.

>>29657289>TFW I've derailed my own Quest by poking fun at SJW'sI truly am "That Guy" deep down... Tip your Fedoras for me fa/tg/uys and fa/tgirls. I need to be alone for a while. Keep voting, if you can...
Shit like this thread makes me wish there was an awesome Fighting Game RPG that wasn't way too rules-heavy like Fight! and not only mimicked the games, but also the sort of genre the games emulated.
>>29657761Agreed 100%, as I've gotten kicked out of D&D Groups trying to play characters that were similar to Katja, Fiona, Tsuyako etc. etc., but that's another story entirely.
Back, had to go do some stuffs>see mention of SJW....am I going to have to take my medications before I read this update?
>>29657289> AI'm not giving up!!!Remember, the best way to fight the SJWs is to keep doing your awesome stuffs and let them bitch.Also Kumagawa a shitliterally

>>29658096>>29658020Only if you feel like it, but the character in-question DOES have a role to play with Jean Gabriel and The Paragon Group... Just not a very large one.Also, I know... But damn it, there's something about Kumagawa that I keep seeing in Gabriel that I can't UN-See. Plus, Holy SHIT at your roll in >>29658125
So is this archived fully so far?Because I'd like to check this stuff out.
>>29658297All Seven previous threads (The 7th one being cut short FAR too early) are on sup/tg/ under the tag "KoF_CYOA" (Which is what I naively though this was going to be before turning it into a true Quest with CYOA-ish branching pathways).Truthfully, I still feel that this whole thing is a work-in-progress that's only marginally gotten better; I read through the earlier threads myself last night and most of the time I kept thinking "Damn it, I would've handled _______ better", so take it as you will.>>29658125Also, if there aren't any objections, I'm updating around Option A.
Rolled 47, 6 = 53>>29657289>>A. Call up Robert Garcia and see if he know's somebody that lives around here with a private beach, or an Island that's nearby or something...

>>29658175> SJWs are involvedSomehow I like this...Also, it's not me, it's the d-ce g-ds showing their agreement, we shall defeat the SJWs and get Katja in that swimsuit
Rolled 35, 16 = 51>>29657289>A.I think Shermie deserves a break on a nice beach after, well... that.Also >Social justice warriorThe translation should be "La Guerrier Justice sociale", due to how french adjectives go after a noun. So, a blue scarf would be a scarf [which is] blue.Also can I ask about the specifics of the roll under system?
>>29658731LE guerrier justice sociale, sorry.Five years since french and I forgot something of that magnitude... I am ashamed.
>>29658731>>29658840Yeah, I fucked up the translation on that one pretty badly; My French is rusty...>>29658731>>29658125>>29658585With quick thinking, you ask "Do you have a phone I can use?", your mind thinking to Robert Garcia for a moment as you hear yourself say "I think I know a guy that could help us out.""Oh? Here, use mine" she eargerly replies as you take a bright-pink IPhone from her hand and call up the number Robert gave you, intently waiting for an answer as you hear Tsuyako ask "Do you have a bathroom I can use?""You can use the one in the office here, I suppose" you hear Shermie reply as Tsuyako brushes past you and you finally hear an answer on the other end, Robert's voice asking "Hello?Who's calling?""Robert? Is that you mate? It's Katja.""Oh yeah, hey! What's up Kat?" you hear him ask as you take a quick look around the room and see Shermie and Fiona hanging on every word Robert's saying as Mai leans her back up against the wall out of boredom. "Nothing much mate, nothing much... But hey, y'think you can do a friend of mine a favour? Do you know anyone personally 'round here that has like, a private secluded beach or somethin'? A friend o'mine's wanting to do a photo shoot for her new line of swimwear, but some sheep-fucker priss won't give a permit to shoot on a public beach.""Hmm... I don't know for sure, actually; I AM going to meet up with Cheng Senzuan at a golf course tomorrow... You want me to call him up and see if can help out?""Sure!" you reply as you hold your hand over the phone and whisper "I think it's happen, but keep quiet 'right?" as the three of you wait for about five agonising minutes, a palpable sense of tension in the room as you hear Robert's respond "You still there Kat?""Yeah Slick, what's shakin'?" you reply as you put Shermie's phone on "Loudspeaker" so that everyone can her him.
>>29659050"Well, Cheng's got a place that's about an hour outside city limits you could use that fits the bill... But he's got two conditions."You look around as you hear Shermie excitedly whisper "Name Them!" as you nod, then ask Robert "Right, what's he want?""Well, it's got to happen today or tomorrow; He's go guests coming over on the day after tomorrow and his house's going to be busy with people coming in and out for the rest of the month solid."You look over at Shermie as she nods at Robert's first "What's the other catch mate?""He wants his girlfriend to check out the suits and pose in them; Will that be a problen?"You again take a look around and see Mai shaking her head at this pantomime and Shermie wordlessly mouth "Is she pretty?" before answering "Hang on, how old is she and how's she lookin'? The kind of suits we were gonna a wear are a little..." You pause "Daring, I guess. Not Triple-X craziness, but more retro 80'/90's kind of deals.""Hmm... Well, Cheng told me that she was in Playboy twice in her twenties and could probably still rock it now in her forties... And you sure this isn't some kind of shady magazine gig?""Nah mate, you know that red-head nurse at the Clinic you're at? The one with the hair over eyes? This is her new fashion line she's trying to get off the ground.""Really? How big's the business? Or is it still in the start-up phase?" Robert asks, his mind for investments still running even at a time like this as you look at Shermie's body start to tremble with excitement as you quickly reply "Hang on, let me put her on for ya" before Shermie practically LEAPS for her phone, quickly puts it back to it's "Regular" call setting and starts to hash out a deal with Robert. "Well, I'll leave you then" you mumble as you head out of her office, Mai & Fiona sort of following you as you clearly want to give Shermie some privacy.
>>29659456"Shit Ozzie, I didn't know you had friends in high places" Fiona remarks as you cheekily reply "Oh, y'know, it's nothin' special: Robert's just a Finacial Genuis/Philanthropist/Playboy who likes fast cars, LOVES fighting and owes my sensei a favor... Plus he keeps all of the Kyokugen Dojos around the world afloat."Fiona lets out a low whistle at that and Mai serenely adds "Yeah... If he weren't already seeing Yuri and I had met him before meeting Andy..." she pauses, letting her trail of thought end there as you hear Shermie's footsteps walk over to you and she simply gabs you, hugs you and gives you the biggest kiss you've had from just about anyone in a LONG time... Though you feel that it's more of gesture of thanks rather than carnal desire as she looks up at you with tears of joy streaming down her cheeks, whispering "Merci... Merci beaucoup!""This is just getting graphic now..." You hear Mai snort as Fiona quietly says "Like you WOULDN'T" almost in perfect comedic timing... As Tsuyako walks out and asks "Hey guys what's uh... Whoa... Is it a bad time?">A. Say Something>B. Do SomethingAppologies for the delays; Had to get my lunch going.
>>29659976>A>"Merci""Oui, Oui, Madame!!", in an obviously bad French accent.

>>29659976>>29660172This works.
>>29660094>>29660172"De Rien" You quietly reply as you tease Shermie by asking "Seriously, do'yeven SPEAK French?"Her face goes a little pale at your quip before you add "Just teasin' ya' 's'all. Everything turn out alright with ponytail?""He's single-handedly saved my business!" Shermie cries out in jow as she quickly explains "And he's setting up our catalogue shoot for tommorrow! AND is hiring REAL Cameraman and actual Make-Up Artiste! Isn't it just so, Magnifique?""Oui, Oui, Madame!!" you kid in the cheesiest fake French accent you can think of as you hug her back a little tighter, though you can hear Fiona start to grumble a little as she says "Tomorrow? Shit, I need to reschedule some plans I had with Tsuyako..."You give Fiona a "Knowing" look at hearing that and see her smirk back at you as Mai just STARES at her, but Tsuyako chips in to defend Fiona by saying "What? I wanted to practice my chain-grapples on somebody tomorrow morning and, no offense Mai, but you started to complain after three take-downs.""You practice straight out of bed though! I'm barely up when I see you running around and stuff"Tsuyako shrugs and replies "Why not? I always fight better the first thing in the morning anyway; It's what my track coach made me do in the summer time", Fiona adding "It's true; She's up early enough that she actually caught a guy red-handed and gave him a red-ass beatdown for trying to rob us once.""huh... So, what's the curtain call for this thing then?""Well... He's offered us to use his house for today and tomorrow, as he's out on business and his wide's taking care of it, so.." Shermie pauses, mumbling "Get there at four, make-up takes around six hours, light goes bad at around 7..." as she does the calculations out loud before replying "6 AM tomorrow morning?"
>>29660919"Bloody hell, that's early" you can't help but say as Mai sighs, saying "Sounds like profssional photo shoot alright" to no one in particular as Fiona & Tsuyako start to bicker over "Who's going to get you up that early and drive over?" as you ponder your options...>A. Agree to stay over at Cheng's tonight with Shermie so you don't have to get up before dawn to ride out of wherever you might be staying...>B.

Tell her "I'll think it over" before getting back on-track and buying a bloody swimsuit so you don't have to train on Sound Beach in your bike leathers; After all, that's what you came in here for in the first place!>D.

Of course, it has to happen on the day I've got nothing better to do than run this thing.===You nod and tell Shermie "OK. I'll think it over... But, I actually wanted to buy a swimsuit.""Seriously?" Mai asks as Fiona and Tsyuako are still lost in their own conversation. "Yeah... I came in here to buy something so I can go out and train at the beach across the street; Can't get sand this" You point to your learther riding suit before adding "Can I?""Oh..." Mai sort of mumbles out as Tsuyako asks "Hey, can we join you in a sparring session or something out on the beach?" "Yeah, we weren't doing anything really important today... It might be fun squaring off with you" Fiona adds as Mai sort of shrugs and agrees, adding "It would'nt hurt to tag along, I guess... But I've got to leave for a date with Andy tonight by around five.""You would really like to make a purchase?" Shermie asks, heading over to the cash register as you head over along with her, though not before you reply "Sure! The more the merrier 'n'all that, y'know?" to Mai, Fiona & Tsyako."Kay, I'm going to get changed and meet you out in a sec" you hear Fiona say as she heads back to the changing rooms to get out of her perilously revealing "Swimsuit" as Shermie asks you "Did you see anything in particular that piqued your interest? Or would you like to just look around for a bit more? I can offer consultation if you're not sure."You wordlesssly think it over for a moment, and think back to a black one-piece that looked pretty tame... "Well, as tame as one that's got a thong back, anyway" you think as you hear Mai tell you "I'll be across the beach waiting OK?" and walk out of the store, breaking our thought process for a moment as you then think to that Olive-Green Bikini that seemed almost "Modest" compared to the otheres you saw...
>>29662097>A. Tell her that you were interested in trying on the Black One-Piece.>B.

Honestly, I saw a couple of suits that looked pretty nice, but I really don't know where to start at stuff like this; I always about function over form when it came to clothes shopping" you reply as you see Tsuyako looking around a little, seeming spurned on by you actually stepping up to the plate and purchasing one of these things..."Hmm... Would you like my opinion, then?" Shermie asks as you nod, doing a neck stretch to pass the time as Shermie goes through her store and picks out quite a few different outfits for you, noting that the Black One-Piece and the Olive-Green Bikini were among them as she asks "Would you mind heading back to our changing rooms? I'd like to see you try these on..."You nod and look at her with a somewhat mischeivous look on your face as she quickly adds "Oh! Uh, "No Lesbienne" " as the two of you brush past Fiona, clad in Black Jeans. Biker Boots not unlike you're own and a Black T-Shirt with the Words "Big Red Machine" in Bold, Stylized Red type on the back (And note that she's looking to buy her "Outfit" from earlier, making you wonder if she secretly enjoys being oggled) as Shermie leads you into the rather-spacious room, closing the door behind you and politely asking "Would you mind?">A. Say something "Flirtaious" (Dialogue Submissions accepted with vote)>B. Make a quick joke about "Only finding out I like girls about an hour ago Mate; You need to be more subtle than this.">C.

>>29663450>>29663613VOTE. >>29663703>>29663864Option C was supposed to say "Only if you do", but the last word got cut out for some reason...
Rolled 37>>29663450>A
>>29663450>>29664202>>29663613You pause for a moment before you ask "So, just to clarify: You want me to take all me clothes off to try on the swimsuits right? 'Cause I mean we've only just met an' all but I'd rather buy you dinner first."Shermie laughs heartily at you and retorts "Yes, just to look at how they'll fit you, I suppose; You DO have a rather unique shape that I didn't take into account for when I desgined a few of these." "Right... Just checkin" you reply as you start to strip down, eventually showing Shermie your "Birthday Suit" as she tosses "Is something wrong? Should... I make you feel a little more comfortable, yes?" Shermie asks, unzipping her crop-top jacket-like garment and showing off a One-Piece Leotard underneath.YOu shake your head and say "I'dunno, maybe... I just never really looked at my body like this, displayin' somethin' I thought I didn't have; I only was interested in my own strength growing through me training" you reply as you stare yourself down in the mirror off to your right, eyeing your muscular frame."Your muscle's symmetry is very impressive" Shermie muses as he looks you up and down, her eye for design noting the scar on your chest. "How did you recieve that ghastly wound? On your bosom?" She asks, genuinely curious but mostly wondering about how she might be able to cover it up with make-up on your photo shoot tomorrow."Bloody ninja assasasin disguised himself as a doctor and tried to shank me at the hospital" You explain, your voice curiously sounding bemused by that rather wild string of words.Shermie nods as she hands you an orange Bikini with a thong back, explaining "With how your skin is so tan and your muscles are so pronounced, you could either go for a accented look to draw the eye away fro, them, or a more subdued take to try and enhance them... And I want to see the eye-catching look first, if it were alright?"
>>29665047You nod and quickly try one about six different outfits, all of them in bold, crayon-like colors... Out of the six, you feel comfortable in two of them: A "French Cut" Bikini that matches the color of your hair and does a pretty good job of covering you and a Red One-Piece that seems to be held together via black drawstrings and gold eyelets."That last one is visually similiar to the custom suits Sue-Yah-Coo and Fiona commissioned me to make; I just had an extra lying around that didn't fir either of them" Shermie explains as you nod, take it off and go through four more "Sedate" suits that, as she suggested, highlight your body quite well, though only too felt right to wear around and actively use; The black One-Piece and The Olive-Green Bikini you picked out earlier...>A. Go for the Yellow Bikini; It looks like the cutest one of the bunch.>B. Pick the Flashy-Looking Red, Black with some Gold One-Piece with the drawstrings.>C. Take the Black One-Piece with the Thong Back that was the comfiest of the four in spite of the thong part.>D. Grab the relatively modest Olive-Green Bikini and wear it out; Mai, Tsuyako and probably Fiona are waiting to spar with you.
>>29665318>>B. Pick the Flashy-Looking Red, Black with some Gold One-Piece with the drawstrings.That'll do. Honestly, the yellow one was the only one that I'd give a 'No.'
>>29665318>B. Pick the Flashy-Looking Red, Black with some Gold One-Piece with the drawstrings.
>>29665318> thong> leotard> Chey it is the comfiest after all...Show 'em that back muscle babe
>>29665404>>29665658OK, just to be clear:[spoiler[Option A is just a Typical 90's era bikini, albiet somewhat high-cut and made with modern materials.[/spoiler]Option B is very close to Tina Armstrong's "Heritage" DLC Cosutme from Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate, though it doesn't show ooff as much skin and doesn't have that weird mesh around the stomach (More like how it looked in previous DoA games, then.)Option C is a tribute to BOTH of Cammy White's leotards in the Street Fighter series, looking like a black, backless & sleeveless version of her "Doll" suit.Option D is a nod to the only other picture Tuskasa Jun drew of the character that inspired Katja's Basic Design (As seen in prior threads).With that said... Any objections before Voting's closed?
>>29665318>>29666092I'm down with C or D. For what it's worth, we can wear C as underwear in pretty much anything. Pull a Shermie and wear the onesie underneath, or just slap some pants on it and call it a day.
>>29666661Kinda like this, really.
>>29666682Or just wear it by itself and add some extra doilies and accessories like the sleeves.
>>29666661>>29666682>>29666710So long as the musculature is still visible through the fabric.
>>29666682>>29666710That's what I was wondering, thanks.>>29666977It will be in direct sunlight and/or with water on it.>>29666661>>29665679>>29665404>>29665658You take a long look at the four suits you had laid out on the bench seat off to the side, each one of them feeling pretty good on yo, though you think them over as you sort through them with your hands, Shermie having left you alone to ring up Fiona & Tsuyako's purchases.The Olive-Drab Bikini, had you not gone through that life-changing mental breakdown and rebirth (Of sorts), probably would've been your best bet... But you cast it aside along with the yellow one which, while looking cute at first glance, seems "Loud" to you as you wore it more.That's when you took a look at the other two; The custom-made red one and the no-frills black one and stop to consider their plusses and minusses... And you can't decide; You like them too much... Which leads to a plan.You put on the Black One-Piece, then your riding gear and grab the Red suit you wanted when you were done half-zipping up, then walk out with it as you then put it down on Shermie's sales counter and ask "How much for both?"She looks at you through her hair and smirks, liking your fashion sense as she says "Hmm... How about I give you the custom-made one and charge the black one out of your pay from the shoot?" She offers."That sounds fair I suppose..." you pause, then ask " Wait, how much AM I gonna get paid for this?""Oh, about a thousand dollars, but you'll get a cut of the profits of the sales of the catalogue for as long as it's in print." She replies non-chalantly."Kay... How much's the suit I'm in now, then?" You sigh, waiting for a ridiculous figure to come from her words."Hmm..." Shermie pauses, putting a thumb to her mouth before saying "Let's call it $350 and drop it, yes?"
>>29667754You wince at that, almost compelled to yell "350 bucks for a bloody piece of fabric that doesn't even cover half my body!? Are you barking?", but don't say a word as you nod, knowing that it probably costs MUCH more than that... You grin, grab the bag containing your other suit and yell "OK, I'm headin' out to the beach then. Thanks!" as Shermie blows a kiss at you, your eyes playing tricks on you again as you swear that it leaves a trail of electricity in the air as you zip up your leathers and walk across the street, hop on your bike (Which thankfully wasn't stolen while you were inside "Fantastique La Femme") and ride over across the street to Sound Beach, illegally riding your bike up the winding concrete pathway and stopping in front of Mai Shiranui, already in a skimpy Red Bikini with White Detailing."Cool bike" she offers as you nod, strip down to your new swimsuit and ask "Y'mind holding onto these for me?" before you run out onto the beach proper, partly out of joy but mostly to get your suit working and feeling comfortable as you catch Fiona & Tsuyako messing around with a volleyball, passing and serving it to each other as they try not to let the ball touch the ground.Fiona notices you watching them and asks "Hey Ozzie! You ready to rock?", catching the ball with one hand as you note that she's wearing the "Suspenders" she had bought from Shermie and Tsuyako's in the Orange Bikini Shermie had you try on first...>A.

"Damn... I know Luchadoras that can't do what you just did" Fiona remarks while Mai adds "That's pretty good for someone that's been only taught the "Basic" arts of fighting; Where'd you learn to do that?""Oh, this? This's my stretch routine that I do when I wake up; I've got two more courses I'm supposed to do... But I haven't really gotten good enough to complete them all the time" you reply as you watch Tsuyako start to do splits, Mai's jaw dropping at the sight (As she's NEVER seen a woman Tsuyako's size do that kind of thing, at least not as well ass she and you're seeing it) and Fiona remarking "It's damn impressive either way Ozzie"...You crick your neck to the left as you smile, then ask "Right; Who's ready to throw down then?">A.

Seeing that, you run up and start to launch a barrage of basic punches and kicks at her, easily using your speed advantage to break through her defenses... However, your attacks don't seem to much damage and grabs you on your first blocked attack, slamming you into the sand with a "Traditional" German Suplex.

Thinking that she might've hurt herself, you didn't try to move away from Tsuyako as she grabbed your legs and tackled you, used her supperior "Ground Game" and "Mat Tactics" to grab lift you up off the ground and slam you into the sands of Sound Beach twice ("Russian Side-Cutters", as Fiona called them), the second hit knocking the wind out of you as she backed away from you for a moment to catch a breath as you slowly staggered up.Either your attacks just don't seem to be doing any damage to her or Tsuyako's defense and body conditioning far exceeds yours as she asks "You wanna keep going?" as Fiona tosses her a water bottle, watching her as she takes a sip of it with a glare in your eyes...===Your Health: 68%Tsuyako's Health: 79%Your Ki: 12%, 1 "Bar" of KiTsuyako's Ki: 88%===>A.

Fell asleep at the keyboard again... These'll be the last set of updates for the thread, I think.>>29673811>>29673826>>29674265... And before you can get up and rush after Tsuyako with a Ryuuko Ranbuu, you feel your body start to stiffen and sigh "Nah... Ya' got me" and flop over onto your back, spent from that last series of slams Tsuyako hit you with.Tsuyako & Fiona head over to see if your alright, Fiona even asking you that as you answer "Yeah... I guess I've got a lot on mind lately and it's getting in the way of me fighting" as you look up at the blue sky and the immense physical forms of Mai, Fiona & Tsuyako."I could tell; You had the intensity in your eyes and your attacks were really clean, precise..." Mai says as she waves one of her fans in front of you, but Tsuyako reveals "But none of them really felt like it "Hit" me, you know? It almost felt like you were pulling your punches, so I took it easy on you when I grappled with you."Your eyes widen as you look at Tsuyako like she had come from the moon as you exclaim "THAT was going easy on me?! Bloody hell..." you pause as you blurt out "Maybe I'm not just cut out for this" and let out a sigh that almost becomes a sob."Hey, you're strong.... Well, at least no worse than those guys that make up the US Sports Team" Mai tells you, though Fiona cuts in and adds "Heavy D!'s actually pretty underrated if you ask me; When I fought him, he kept getting me into high-low guessing games and locked my ass down in the corner with unblockable attacks... Do you know ANYONE out there that you can say the same?""W-Well, uh..." Mai feebly replies as Tsuyako nods, then says "I thought all three of them had potential... Heck, I got the idea to start comboing my grapples again from the meathead football player; Plus that guy with the basketballs is freakin' ANNOYING: You can't get close to him half the time and he rushes past you with that weird teleport thing to set it all up again..."
>>29674566You silently start to sob and ask "What am I even DOING fightin' these gals? They're LEAGUES above me..." inside your mind and add "Shit, I bet Takuma got bitched out by Yuri to give me that "Disciple" title just to get me to train harder or something..." as you say "I'dunno antmore... I stay at the dojo, train like crazy, fight all the time... But it's like I'm stuck. I hit another brick wall right when everybody's counting on me to bring it all home, y'know?"Mai nods at that, knowing all too well the kind of slump you're going through as she says "I couldn't help but notice that your Ki looked strained in a lot of your attacks too; Sometimes it would work, but then it just would sort of fizzle out, I guess..."""Im going to a accupuncture guy in China Town that's supposed to be helping with that, but it's hard... " You mumble, then pause and add "And I hope the old bugger can take house calls, because I've got an appointment scheduled with him at Noon tomorrow!""Bummer dude..." Fiona answers as you ask "How the bloody fuck do you two get so strong?""Training" Tsuyako quietly answers before you ask "What KIND of training though? I mean, jesus I can do 500 Sit-Ups and not break a damn sweat, jog and run for miles, I lft damn-near my body weight... What am I doing wrong?"Fiona & Tsuyako pause at this for a little while as Mai still waves that fan on your back when Fiona asks you "What's your diet like and how many meals do you eat in a day?""Fargh, I'dunno... Takuma makes us eat Buckwheat Noodles 'till we puke half the damn time and I keep havin' to sneak out to eat meat and "Real Food" the other half of the time..."But only three meals a day?" Tsuyako asks as you retort "Whatdja mean ONLY three meals a day? How many d'youtwo eat?!"
>>29674913"Six... Sometimes Seven, depending on how many calories I'll burn..." Tsuyako sheepishly replies and Fiona adds "Tsuya's a little lax in our training though; She cheats on her diet once in a while I work my ass off to keep this up", mockingly doing the "Muscle Wizard" Arm-Stretch as she says this."Christ on a BIKE, that almost sounds like heaven..." you deliriously mumble as the thought of food fills your mind once more.>(End Updates)Thanks to all that Participated; Next thread should be up at our usual time of 10 AM PST, 1 PM EST.
>>29675203Don't burn out.
After reading the earlier discussions of Katja's lousy romantic prospects with almost every decent guy in SNK being attached to someone already, I realized while playing XIII last night that there's ONE relatively unattached male (who isn't K' I mean, but nobody on here likes K') in the KoF tournaments.Honestly, he's one of the only things I liked about the Ash Saga. He's hot-blooded as fuck (which I never saw as a bad thing), but he's not a total psycho or anything: dude just loves a good fight. And he doesn't look half bad shirtless.
>>29677698Seems like we found the perfect love interest for KatjaJust imagine the make-up sex... would probably end up with half an house utterly destroyed>>29675203Also I suspect our low Strength had something to do with the little damage we did to Tsuyako. Either we need to either up that up, or we need to get our Power to a decent level and use Raijinken more often.Also, why the hell would you guys try to get in close range WITH A GRAPPLER???
>>29678509He even says he likes "tough fighting women" and not super-girly wholesome ones like Yuri. Even Mai doesn't catch his fancy. Hot-blooded Aussie brawler Amazoness seems RIGHT up his alley.
>>29678574I guess there's this kid too, but he's awfully young for Katja, not to mention a little creepy, given the whole "albino" thing and his shady parentage.Also, pretty sure he's banging his sister because that's how they roll in Japan. Too bad he didn't get more screentime in the Ash Saga as originally planned: ANYONE taking the screen away from Ash would've been a worthwhile thing to do, and he was supposed to be "main character #2" for the arc originally.
>>29678614> Adelheid is not in KOFXIIISNKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not sure he would like the unsophisticated side of Katja though... or maybe he would find it refreshing to someone "real"?>>29675203Also since it seems we have the Roll-Under in effect, I think a good addition would be to keep nat 100 as an epic win and nat 1 as an epic fail, those being the only two exceptions. Asking people to not see a 100 as an epic win would be too much to ask for I think.Other than that people should want to roll low or at least as close as possible from the stat and that in case you, the QM, decide to roll against the result (then all you would have to do is which roll is higher and still under the stat).Anyway, I REALLY wish I'd not missed that fight...
>>29678858I meant in the sense that he's a handsome unattached guy in a series where seemingly every relatively good-looking male is already in a committed relationship with someone.Woo would be my first pick: he's a street-bred hot-blooded badass who literally just punches his way through people with superpowers.Plus, again, he HAS stated he likes "tough" women.
>>29678884Also, fun fact: Bogard the Younger actually might not be all that attached to Mai in canon.I mean, they might have slept together at LEAST once, but for a very long time the whole Mai+Andy thing was stated by SNK to be sort of one-sided because Andy basically knew her since she was eight, and it'd feel like sleeping with his little sister.Not sure if that still flies anymore (probably not honestly), but only in the Fatal Fury OVA's was their romance actually treated as a semi-serious romance with Andy just being reluctant to settle down.Then again...the Fatal Fury OVA's also pretty much made sure Nobuyuki Hiyama was Joe Higashi forevermore, so it might be like the Street Fighter animated movie with the adaption being so popular they made elements of it canon.
Or you suggesting we try to snatch Andy from Mai? As difficult as it's going to be, that would be a fitting since Mai essentially never stopped being a bitch to Katja this whole quest.More on topic, did Tsuyako reveal any moves to us? It is seems like the throw with the ensuing body flop is one (reminds me a lot of Clark and Shermie's throws), that plus the dropkick. Also for the life of me, I can't help but picture her as E. Honda level of fat, could use a picture to give me a better idea of what she actually looks like.
>>29679778Oh no: I think that would kind of piss off everybody in the Fatal Fury stable, probably Andy included.I was just noting that originally their romance was once-sided according to SNK. And let's face it: if in Garou, Andy is thirty years old and is STILL out training and shit and Mai has been chasing him for the better part of a decade then he's probably not really the marrying type honestly.Also I don't quite remember if Tsuyako did show any moves, I'd have to peruse through the threads again.I'm right there with ya: not Honda maybe but the line between deliciously thick and fat changes a LOT for different people, especially depending on how tall you are and stuff like that.
Gotta say I'm diggin' this little discussion you had BType & 'Buki... Here's my two cents.First off, thanks to the word encouragement from the Anon in >>29676848; I'm trying not to, as doing this IS hard for me day-in, day-out (And again, I've NEVER done something like this) but I'm enjoying it honestly.>>29678509Katja's Low Strength is part of it, but I always envisioned Tsuyako having Daimon-Like Resiliency (Not quite "Super-Armor", since that would be RIDICULOUS), but a stronger aversion to getting bowled over by attacks/higher stun guage than anyone else... Also, to answer >>29679778 & >>29679870: Tsuyako hasn't done any of her REALLY "Trick" special moves yet (The German Suplex being one of her Normal Throws, which can chain into her grapple system and her tackle from-the-ground acting a little bit like Gai Tendo's "Frog Stance" in KOF XI).>>29678858I'm totally 100% OK with this; 100 & 1 being the exception to the Roll-Under, with a "Price's Right" effect if anyone manages to roll EXACTLY what Katja's stat is in any field being a not-as good substitue for a Nat 100 Maybe? >>29677698>>29678509>Shen Woo Going out with KatjaWhy do you think I named-dropped him when Katja worked at Lee Pai Long's for the day? Besides, they're both around the same age (Shen's 29 when the Ash Saga Ended; Katja's maybe a year or two older than that at the most) and as BType pointed out, Shen likes the kind of woman Katja is...Also, Adelheid? I mean yeah, he's cool and all, but I don't think he'd be attracted to Katja, not like that, anyway. Besides, Rose would probably piss her off enough that she'd hit her or something, then Adelheid would do his LDM on her out of rage and the Quest Ends.
>>29681419>Based WeaselAnd this Quest has been a breath of fresh air. I've been on a fighting game kick lately (I lack FAR too many of them for my home consoles), then I see this and I'm all "aaaaw yeaaah".
>>29681419>>29679205>>29679778>Openly discussing NTR'ing MaiFucking 'A guys... It's not entirerly impossible to do that though; Since this takes place post Ash-Saga, Andy's back to how he was before it, so he STILL has the "Gotta Beat my Bro before I settle down" mentality that drove Mai crazy (The Ash Saga, ironically, was when he started to show his affection to Mai more openly, with his special opening Dialogue in XIII being the apex of that) and as BType pointed out, The old Fatal Fury OVA's DID become popular enough to have certain elements become Canon (IE Terry always losing somebody close to him at the worst possible time, Joe acting like a Dan Hibiki-Level clown that can actually FIGHT, Mai being impossibly flirtatious towards Andy, who sort of looks at her like She's his sister while most others think Mai's a slut, instead of seeing that she's desperate for his attention), but the games after '99 sort of let those elements slink into the background a little bit more and now they're pretty much footnotes for wiki-tards like myself and others.But, as QM I also point out that as he mentions in >>29679870, doing that would probably piss off a LOT of people (Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai, Yuri, King, their friends etc. etc...); Plus, everyone seems to conveniently forget that Mai's like, a NINJA? Who's from, you know, a FAMILY of Ninjas? Who's to say that if Katja DID break them up, Mai wouldn't be all like "What the FUCK did you just say about my Andy, you little Fucking Bitch?" up in Katja's grill? (Cue a swarm of Shiranui-Clan Ninja invading South Town En-Masse to kill Katja, each one of them able to kill her in 700 ways JUST with their bare hands and could almost Instant-Transmission to wherever the fuck she MIGHT be...)
>>29681547Plus like I said, it was more Adelheid isn't paired with anyone, and pretty much everyone else IS.God I wish there was more of him in the series. He'd be cool to play as with those insanely detailed KoFXIII sprites.
>>29681551Like I said, the FF stable would probably be offended even if their romance WASN'T canon...and a lot of those guys are pretty fucking nasty to make enemies with.Plus, I think that would make Katja solely responsible for turning the FF cast against the Kyokugenryu Dojo, and it's not like they don't have ENOUGH people that hate them....
>>29681572Hell yeah Dude, I enjoyed playing him in XI too much to see him go... But I think he was the pet character of somebody that left SNKP, maybe, and his lack of presence in the series as a whole might be the bosses at SNKP trying to prove a point? (See Capcom doing the same thing to Keiji Inafune, Atsushi Inaba & Shinji Mikami) >>29681551>Tsuyako's Body TypeShe's a BBW, no two ways about it (5'9", 180 Lbs), but her actual shape is the hardest thing for even myself to agree on; My boner says "Rainbow Mika from SFA3, but BIGGER/A better-proprtioned Cattleya from Queen's Blade!" while my brain says "Looks like Rin Nakai and Mariko Yoshida had a love-child that grew up fat, but strong"... Maybe a compromise could be in order? I do believe that if Tsuyako WAS a real character, she probably wouldn't be like the former due to "Pressure" from SJW's, much like that one flash game that caused /v/ to errupt in a shitstorm SO big, you can't actually make topics on it anymore... I'dunno, the fact that the only character that comes close in design is that scary-looking chick from a game no one's ever heard of or played (And has almost NO ART for it, fan or official aside from Pic Related) makes me wonder if it was a good idea to make her overweight (To balance out Fiona's /co/-Inspired mix of Muscle & Curves and Mai's /h/-worthy Voluptousness)... Anyway, New thread's running a little late because I have to take care of my mother today (Sick with a Flu Virus and mostly bed-ridden)... Link will be posted here and I'm all for more questions being asked!
>>29681551Can we fight Ash?You know, just so we can punch him forever and ever and ever like the little turn he is? Seriously. I HATE that guy. I can't even say I'm okay with his playstyle, because I suck at characters with Guile-type charge moves.
>>29681572> Implying Rose isn't trying to get his DYou know, Japan and family...Also, before I forget, long ago I started the skeleton of a KOF RPG, but I was quite inexperience at the time so yeah, you know where it ended.Thing is I really liked the Power system, classes would essentially be what power source you would use: Elemental, Technology, Ki, ect...
>>29681650....well Brain #2 says it's okay with Cattleyas build.I might have to concede this to Brain #2 because I haven't been feeding it lately.
>>29681668Yeah, I pretty much said that up here >>29678614.In those exact words basically, hah.
>>29681704Oh lol, I seriously did not see thatGreat minds yaddi yadda...
>>29681732No worries. Plus, Japans not exactly subtle about that whole fetish.
>>29681657[spiler]In a dream sequence maybe, but that would be the only opportunity to do so; Remember, he basically Ret-Conned himself out of existence and fucked up the space-time continum doing so... He doesn't exist anymore and no one knows who he was/is; Basically Checkov's Gun in Fighting Game Form.[/spoiler]>>29681668Sounds really cool, actually... I know a friend of mine kicked around a few ideas for our own KOF "Donut Steels", but then they sort of transformed into a game of itself (It was a trashy, cliched as all fuck outline and more along the lines of BlazBlue powers-wise)... But yeah, the reason I mention it is that certain character's were tied to Elements/Pure Ki/Technology in how they fought and their overall style.>>29681681Tsuyako's breasts wouldn't be THAT big though... But she WOULD probably be the bustiest KOF Character EVER if she were a legit character (Fiona a close second), so there's that... And I'm honestly starting to wonder if Mai's bitchiness towards these new girls isn't rooted in jealousy myself (As I didn't actually PLAN for that to come out, in truth...)Shit, I might have to get Her into that costume on the Photo Shoot (With Fiona as Risty for Shits & Giggles)... Damn it Boner!
>>29681650180 lbs sounds a LOT less than what I had in mind...I'm okay for Cattleya level of fat, the thing is she has the body of a mature woman when Tsuyako is supposed to be young...And in my mind Fiona is the one with the Rainbow Mika body (that plus long, flowing red hair)
>>29679870In Garou, Andy and Mai have teamed up to train Hokutomaru.
>>29681870I'm aware. I was joking. Mostly.>>29681900I actually have a friend who was like that. She was kinda on the chubby side as a teenager, but when she hit her twenties and stopped growing she didn't gain any more weight at all and suddenly all of it was evenly and pleasantly distributed into her roundy parts.
>>29681900Tsuyako is stout. Let's just put it that way.
>>29681946I still need pictures though, for reasons...
>>29681900I can't help but imagine Risty for Fiona. Something about the Red Sonja+Power Girl mention, and the muscles.
>>29682055niiiiiicce!!!>>29681870The problem I encountered was in setting up stats for everything that wasn't combat without resorting to DnD skill system.In the end I guess I should just have rolled with it and get shit actually done
>>29682127Deleted post, replaced with larger picture.And I've basically been running the SFRPG game for my fighting game RPG needs and making shit up/refluffing stuff as it goes along.This has started becoming more of a universal fighting game thing: Street Fighter, Tekken, KoF, DOA, Fatal Fury, whatever.
>>29681900>>29681946It's kind of her "Gimick", in a way; She looks like a "Delicious Christmas Cake", but is still only 22... Fiona, on the other hand, is basically Power Girl & Red Sonja fused together (With her Wrasslin' Gear being a deliciously cheesy Rule 63-Take on The Ultimate Warrior & Wolfgang Krauser, complete with facepaint, almost sexy-sounding grunts and Raoh Refferences.)Also, if Tsuyako's weight doesn't seem high enough, we can always say that "She's a Growing Girl" or that she hasn't checked it in a long while...>>29681931>>29681946>>29681900>>29682066>See Pic Related: The closest real-life Tsuyako I've EVER seen... (I just hope it's OK to it post here; Don't want to get Ban-Hammered just as this quest's starting to gain interest.>>29682168I had something similar in mind for a "Beat'em Up" Quest, but didn't have the guts to go through with it... And this thing's going to be SNKP-Related series (KOF, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, Buriki One, maybe Savage Reign/Kizuna Encounter and Sengoku 3 if I'm in the mood to do so...); I'm posting stuff from other things because of the character designs more than anything else.>>29682127Probably would've been for the best honestly; It took me looking through the (Arguably) "Worst Run Quest/CYOA on /tg/" to get me off my ass and run something better (I'm not naming names, so I'm going to leave what that thread might be to all of y'all's imagination)...Also, thread's hit page 9; New Topic'll be up soon.
>>29682168There's always Fight! The Fighting Game RPG.
>>29682168The SFRPG huh,...I will check it out, just to see how they handle things out of combat.But hey, if you guys are up for it we can discuss the different a KOF RPG could use. I had some great mechanics in my prototype like Training instead of Short/Long Rest, you rolled and if things went well you gained something depending on the training you chose.Also had a Attack/Block/Feint RPS rule for attack.Now I remember that I had some problems making the combat not stupidly linear, like why would you use an Attack if the guy was gonna Block, and who would be attack first...ANYWAY, on topic I just realized something.We may have some overlapping when it comes to Katja and Fiona body type, I can see Fiona being more on the giant type, while Katja is shorter and thinner but incredibly muscled and defined, would help differentiation, if it was already the case forget I said anything...
>>29682310Too crunchy, awful formatting. Also, pretty meta.>>29682318No, your system is actually pretty damn good so far. Flexible, and you're figuring out as you go, but don't mind at all.The SFRPG...it's a modded Storyteller System, so it's weird, but hey, it's easy to learn and all my players know it. Apparently White Wolf is HUGE fans of the series,.
>>29682290Risty with face paint shouting HOAK HO-GAAAN is hilarious to me.
>>29682363Oh god I can't not see it now.
>>29682318Fiona is larger than Katja, but not by much.
>>29682290> thick asianTsuyako could have have bit more muscled fat than pic related (a bit ala Raiden) for being a fighter and all, with that we would be in Glorious, Delicious business!
>>29682353> tfw I have a current RPG I need to polish> tfw I want so badly to prototype that KOF RPGWhy is there only 24 hours in a day??
>>29682318That's what I had in mind myself; Katja's Lean and Skinny, Fiona's a fucking TANK with curves (And Tsuyako's walking Fetish Fuel, like the others weren't already...)>>29682363Her moveset & Wrasslin' zgimick are tied in to her backstory, which MIGHT get revealed soon... And honestly, I want to slip in Pic Related just to see her Layeth the Smackdown on all of our Candy Asses.>>29682427You read my mind Yabuki, read my mind... The Idea for her was to be an SNKP-Equivalent to Rainbow Mika (To make up for tiny, tiny grapplers like Hinako Shijuou), but now? She's something arguably better IMHO. I tip my hat towards you in thanks.
>>29682629>AngelSHE needs to be in a new KoF too.Too bad her original artist owns her or something....
>>29682714> K9999 and Angel are gone forever...
Also, will be commuting. No need to wait for me, hopefully I will be able to catch the thread in half an hour.
>>29682783Angel's kinda remarkable in not only is she an incredibly sexy character, she's also insanely badass because she whips out The Rock's signature moves
>>29682714Sort of; The Artist that designed her, Styleos (Toshiyuki Kotani), works as a freelancer and owns the rights to that character, regardless as to Eolith's standing (As that company no longer exists and, as an aside, she's basically his Waifu, to go "Neo-/a/" on y'all). To the best of my understanding and knowledge, he hasn't publicly stated that he's adverse to having his character show up in another KOF Game; SNKP seems to just ignore the three characters that came out of KOF 2K1 out of fear/worry that they'll have to buy the rights to Eolith's IP's, which are numerable as they went on to create several games for phones and expanded into providing electronic services outside of videogaming...>>29682783I think they needed to work with K9999's designa little bit more before they put him in a game; The dude's cool, for sure, but I think Eolith went too far with having him be based on Tetsuo from Akira; They have the same VA, similar moves and ACTUAL QUOTES from the Movie as the names of them, special Intro with "Kusanagi" in KOF 2K2 & 2K2 UM (Who voiced Kaneda, actually)... It just seems a little TOO much, not that SNK were shy about it before (See... Just about everybody, actually).Also, NEW THREAD! GET HYPE!!!>>29683069>>29683069>>29683069
