B-but I-I-I can't help the prince if I'm in the castle...
What, it's true.

>>29948464
"Thank you but...be careful." Ok, we have all kinds of demonologist related crap at our place that we need hidden or destroyed and no one we trust enough to do it.

>Warn her about the sealed Lord.

>>29948464
man where do we go from this?

>Uh, not really. I nearly murdered those guards.

>>29948464
"You're too kind Gina, I-i shouldn't have asked for, I mean, I don't know."

>>29948464
Ok, just checked out Ja's sheet, is he limited to Force/Spatial/Gravity magic? And is his demonologist trait limited to subject familiarity and research, or can he actually summon stuff? If so what are the requirements?

>>29948611
I'd have to say this. We kind of fucked up there, it's somewhat understandable but still our fault.

I look forward to more horrible rolls that ruin everything.

>>29948464

this: >>29948628

>>29948628
"You're too kind. I shouldn't have asked... I mean, I,... I really hurt those people. I could have... I nearly..."

"But you didn't kill them." Gina says. "You were scared and acting in self-defense. In a proper world, the guards would be seen at fault." she states. Her eyes are so stalwart and strong.

"I might have t-trouble helping the Prince if I'm in the castle."

"Demonology?"

You nod.

The art of Demonology is involved with spatial magic - you create wards and circles and summon demons into them for information or binding. It's a long process, and the truly 'innocent' cannot do it - hence why this whole mess happened. However, you know certain processes for pulling memories from soulstones, which take a lot of time.

Still, in a private space like this, you feel more confident and sure.
Rolls will not be required for social interaction while alone with Gina.

"I'll get your things. Anything I should know?"

>>29948766
Warn her about the Sealed Lord, we don't want it falling into the wrong hands, and we certainly don't want her to accidentally set it off.

>>29948766
Do not touch the sealed lord with your bare hands. Burn any books I have. Tell her where any I sufficiently hidden demon stuff is and tell her how to dispose of it safely.

>>29948827
You don't mean burn them right now do you? The situation is in control, not a bad idea if things get out of hand later though.

>>29948766
>because catchable is being a bitch
Going back to >>29948464 "Because I pulled you out of your home and insisted on this date. It'd be unfair to blame what happened on you" reinforce the fact that we consider her blameless, that none of what happened is her fault. We knew how on edge we were and should have tried to steer the date to a location that we could actually relax and enjoy ourself at. This, all of this, is on our head, not hers.

>>29948766
"Don't forget the gems and the rod...and the tea leaves."

>>29948993
Yea, the leaves are important.

>>29948819
>>29948788
"Touch nothing with bare hands." you say. "Make sure all the books are in a hidden location, or bring them to me. Instruments are not to be fooled with." you flush a little. "There is a hidden space beneath the bed. P-p-please do not look within." you say. "F-finally, I will need my clothes. They're family heirlooms that can withstand my magic."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Forces blasts originate from the skin. My clothes can allow the magic through. Other clothes... Uhm." you flush deeper.

"Ah, I getcher." she says, nodding. "I'll be sure to handle it." she says with a smile. "I'll make you a meal when we get there." she adds. You find yourself smiling, even as the chains on your hands.

"One last thing. This isn't... th-this isn't your f-fault, Gina. I should have... shown you t-t-to a critter eatery, o-or something, a-and..."

Her hand on yours. Warm and callused, but her touch is soft. Your words stop in your throat, your face reddening.

"I can see why you and the Prince are friends." she says gently. "It's in the past, now. Who is at fault doesn't matter.

You stop at the castle, and Gina leads you out, taking you through the castle. After a few flights of stairs up, you're in the secondary guest quarters with a window to the sky.

"Anything else you want to say before I move your things?"

"Be careful. A demon came over to my place, probably looking for Anneline. She beat it down, but there might be more where it came from."

>>29949078
"Torch the house, it's going to be looted in my absence anyway."

>>29949167
let's not do that.

Spoilering semi-off-topic discussion.

Gina prefers "fur to scales". However, the critters shown so far include the pangolins, dragons, and birds, none of which have fur. Am I missing a critter? Is there a type of nonhuman sentient we haven't been introduced to? Or does Gina have a far darker, lewder pastime?

>>29949231
There are fur people OS some sort running around somewhere in the setting. Or she just likes really hairy men.

>>29949231
guess she'll just have to settle for down feathers.

>>29949231
She seems to like feathers, at any rate.

I'm inclined to agree

>>29949156
"Just be careful. Demons seem to have it out for those soulstones and the artifacts."

"Then I'll just fight them." she says with a grin. You reach the room, and she closes the door behind her, showing you where everything is. It's a pretty big room.

You both seem to realize that you're in a bedroom together, alone, and a quiet tension builds.

"W-would you like some... Oh..." you realize you've not got a kitchen anymore, or utensils, or your leaves. You feel inane, and she sighs, fingers in your hair. At first you squirm, but the feeling is pleasant, and it makes you smile up at her. "S-sorry. Forgot I don't have... well, anything..."

She nods, sighing.
"We'll be seeing a lot more of each other."

"I don't mind seeing more of you." you say, then your eyes widen, and you stammer, wings unfurling as she giggles, then laughs outright. She swings her hips a little.

"Oh really~?" she asks, which only makes you feel smaller and want to hide more. "I know what you meant, Ja'al." she says softly, walking outside.

You are now Gina. You smile, leaning against the closed door and grinning to yourself. He's so adorable! You let out a little giggle. You can hardly wait to tease him more.

You get to work with the administrative side of things. Arranging some storage space near Ja'al is simple and takes very little time. As you're discussing locks and keys, Karl approaches. Your whole body stiffens.

"Mind explaining why that Alvin isn't doing the hemp dance yet?" he asks angrily. "I've three gaurds in my office, one who will need a new leg, another who might not walk again without some serious luck and diligence. I saw you give him a room, Gina."

>Writein

>>29950064
"Because that Alvin is going to help us with an investigation."

>>29950064
"He's just a kid, and it's not like the guards are entirely innocent, either. He was provoked."

>Everywhere Karl looks, hot human women are falling for critters.

Can't stop the Xenophilia train, Karl.


As for what to say to him, something like: "There's a lot going on, and the Alvin is under my protection to assist with an investigation. Besides, if those guards hadn't been trying to abuse the boy in the middle of the street none of this would have happened."

>>29950064
>Karl realises he is surrounded by critter sympathisers
>[Racism intensifies]

I sort of understand where the guy is coming from, but people had already decided he was sort of skeevy, so when it was revealed that he was all HUMANITY STRONK, CRITTERS SUCK, it really didn't help his case.

>>29950212

"There's a lot going on, and the Alvin is under my protection to assist with an investigation. Besides, if those guards hadn't been trying to abuse the boy in the middle of the street none of this would have happened."

"And you have anything other than his word for that?" he asks. "Because those boys won't be quiet about this. As important as he might be - and as much as I might agree with his usefulness - there will be a lot of hell to pay when this gets out."

"But-"

"And I do mean /when/." he adds, sighing.

"Are you sure you're not just jealous?"

He gives you an odd glare.
"Do you think I even care, Gina? What I'm worried about here is what those boys will say, what really happened earlier today, and what sort of mess this will cause. Surely you of all people can understand that."

>Writein

>>29950312
Well, according to the evidence present and his own account, he just stood his ground. You got something against standing your ground? Do you want the meek and weak to be walked over? That type of behaviour disgusts me, critter or human.

>>29950064
Those guards provoked him, he's also a friend of the prince.

>>29950312
"First of all, those guardsmen will make a fuss of things either way. If they think we've punished our guest, that might make them less likely to stir up unrest. Second of all, I was there earlier today and saw the whole thing and I can corroborate the Alvin's story."

>>29950312
"It's a mess, for sure. But I really don't think he deserves to hang for what boils down to a terrible misunderstanding. I was the one who dragged him out of his comfort zone and stuck him into that situation, so I should be the one to accept the blame here."

>>29950312
Unlike you I actually care about what's right.

>>29950312
"I'll deal with it. I ought to have a talk with them anyway."

>>29950404
Don't say this, him being friends of the prince isn't common knowledge, I'd imagine, and it's best not to spread it around. (Although of course Karl probably already knows).

>>29950425
Leaning towards this

>>29950312
Guys, I'm pretty sure Gina doesn't hate Karl. Let's not mix characters here.

>>29950312


>>29950479
Agreed, we should avoid anything like >>29950441 .

>>29950456
"I'll deal with it. I ought to have a talk with them anyway. They'd make a fuss either way, but if they believe he's been punished, it might help. And I saw everything - I can corroborate the Alvin's story."

He sighs and nods.
"Look, if you need any help, I'll be in the room."

"I think I can handle myself, Karl. I'm not sixteen anymore."

He nods.

You had come to the castle when you were very young. A prodigy on many levels, you're half-ogre. Halflings don't show it outwardly - they just have a measure of power from their critter parentage. You have a great deal more strength than your physical form can ever allow - your choice of weapon, an axe, takes advantage of this. But when you were younger, you were prone to accidents, harming yourself, and the like.

And Karl was there. Despite your parentage and his own beliefs, he always treated your torn muscles and dislocations. Maybe it's that he never had children himself. He doesn't seem to age, and you're not even sure why.

You walk into the room and the three guards stare at you. One of them is missing his leg entirely. His chart mentions infection.

>Writein

>>29950642
Karl is such a creepy fucker I don't know how to deal with him.

I want to like him but I just can't.

>>29950642
mention something about getting them some medicine for the leg.

Also, tell them that the Alvin is will undergo "interrogation" and that his sentencing is still being decided.

>>29950642
Blatantly lie about punishing the bird boy, give them a gentle reprimand for doubting this and thank them for doing their job.

Then brow beat them a bit about the whole clothes thing and make sure they don't try something so damn stupid again, because next time there might not be anyone to scrape them off the floor to the healer.

>>29950728
Sticking with Wren for this one.

>>29950642
Alright, don't lie outright, but be vague enough that they are left thinking that he's being held in a cell or something and awaiting interrogation. Chide them for their unprofessional conduct regarding critters, and then apologise for the entire situation.

>>29950794
here

>>29950728
>>29950803
These two seem good

>>29950803
"I'm sorry about what happened. However, you were all highly unprofessional. You don't deserve this, but understand that there are rules and regulations regarding critter treatment. He is being detained for interrogation by my hand." you say evenly, "and you deny my authority at my grace."

They nod.
"I would prefer this be kept quiet. We don't need riots."

Another nod. "Good. Let the good doctor see to you." you say, sighing as you leave. You finish off setting up the storage space, preparing the carriage, and the rest. That being done, you prepare Ja'al's meal.

Also, it seems that Gina has Ogre parentage right? That means interbreeding is possible, yes? Annelin better make sure she's not pregnant with Teel's child.

Probably shoulda included a "Write" prompt for the teasing. Any suggestions there?

>>29951248

>>29951248
Well, we're supposed to be "interrogating" him. I could see Gina asking him some awkward questions. Like how he'd react if she was the one that wanted to confiscate his clothes and not those other guards.

>>29951352
A little grin comes over your face as you slide into the room and hand him his meal. He accepts it, quietly eating.

"So, Ja'al~" you say, sitting next to him. "What would you have done if I had been the one talking about confiscating those clothes?"

He doesn't respond, stopping midbite and his wings unfurling to full span, his face going so deeply beet red it matches the ends of his sleeves. He stammers incoherently, and you smirk.

You smile, moving behind him and gently touching his wings. The feathery down is very soft, but the wings beneath the cover are firm and strong. Your fingers and palms slide along the length and back, gently stroking, and soon you've buried your face in it, enjoying the feel against your cheeks.

A light gasp from the boy makes you jump back, his face the picture of a young man trying to contain arousal.

"I-I'm sorry, I, I should... I should have told you, I, They, They're very, uhm, very sensitive to, to direct touches and... And you're so gentle, and..."

And find out what he knows about the demons.

Casually, you remove your armor, leaving your simple red shirt on as you sit on the bed and pat your lap. You're calm, but also excited, as he sits facing you. you continue to stroke his wings slowly, and then, gently, you kiss his lips.

You really aren't sure whether this is a one-off attraction or not. You know the guest quarters are mostly soundproofed, as he squirms and fidgets under your hands. You've always liked to be in charge, your strength allowed for nothing less. You've read that Alvin bones are weaker than human ones...

Hn. There's something about this that is poetic. Maybe you'll talk to Sue about it later. She was good at writing fluffy poems. You nuzzle into his collar, smirking as you whisper huskily into his ear.

"You're too cute. I think I /will/ have to confiscate those clothes."

His reaction, a deeper blush and a quiet, submissive, moan of acceptance, make you grin wider. "You sure you don't want me to stop?"

"I...I'm... I... I, I'm s-s-sure..."

Given all the shit about how Sworn work they probably suffer from tunnel vision and narrow mindedness problems, which we can abuse the fuck out of later maybe.

"Oh?" you murmur. "And if I keep them?"

"W-w-well... You... Uhm... You have the... the only k-key..." he manages, between soft gasps.

"And if I dress you up myself?"

No comment, though it elicits quite a moan. You kiss at his neck, his collar, gently unbuttoning his shirt. Along the back, as well, there are buttons above his wings, which you carefully undo for his jacket and shirt, slowly sliding it off his back and shoulders.

He's so slim and smooth... You side your fingers over his bared chest, his top hanging off his wrists as he writhes.

You grin as you kiss his chest, his voice quiet and soft as he makes affirmative little sounds.

Sneaky finger isn't cool, man.

Don't go putting things up your partner's butt without warning.

>>29952271
Tell Ja'al how handsome he is, and how so many women have been missing out. Tell him that we'll take good care of him, and show him what he's deserved for a long time.

Give him more kisses and slowly strip him. Once he's stripped down then give him a strip tease and let him watch us.

>>29952594
Seconding this. This sounds legit.

You pull off his shirt and jacket entirely, turning him around and kissing his neck. His wings press against your breasts as you move to his upturned lips, smiling wider as your hand slides over his belly slowly.

"You're..." your hand slides over the fastener and just past it, fondling gently. "All." it goes back up to undo the fastener. "Mine." you growl, giving him a little nip on the neck.

... ... ...

My, but the poor boy tired quick. Only two rounds, and he's fast asleep. Cute, though, curled up like that. You kiss his cheek, dressing quietly as you slip outside, a wide grin on your face. You've never felt quite this upbeat after a man, stretching as you walk. You put his clothes away in your room, humming as you head down to the carriage.

Today was a good day.

You make your way to his shop, slipping inside with a helper, Geralt. Geralt's been on the city force for many years, and is one of the few sympathetic to critters you know of - he has an Appal wife.

How he told her apart from male Appals is beyond you.

"Welp. I'll pack up the books, you handle the fiddly shit." he says, opening a chest near the entrance.

He wanted his magical clothes and such.

Also, I do hope that the smutanon who gave us Annelin x Drakteel was paying attention.

Need some of that halfogre and birdshota lovin'.

Remember what he said about collecting and touching stuff and leaving stuff alone.

Though we should totally snoop on his porn collection (if he has one)

>>29952656
>>>The kitchen
We should get his tea set, it seems to relax him a great deal

>>29952656

Get him his clothes, totally look in the hidden space under his bed for porn.

After that the priorities are the kitchen to get him his tea stuff, and the storage area for anything magic and researchy.

You make your way up, bundling his clothes - which look like posh noblemen clothing - and looking around. The room has a quiet, gentle sense to it, just like Ja'al. A shame, for any girl that might have spurned him, he was wonderfully careful and... Well, he put you first. You don't find that in many men these days.

You lift the bed with one arm, setting it down on the other side of the room, and check out what he has beneath.

...Oh. OH.

He... apparently has a fetish for public nudity.

Hrm.

And the destruction of clothing. My.

You smile, putting the books back with care, and the bed, which you take the sheets from. After that, you move to the kitchen, gathering up his utensils and supplies, leaving the storefront.

Now what did he say, earlier...?

>Writein

>>29953012
OH FUCK WE FORGOT THE TEA

>>29953012
Don't touch any magic/demon related stuff with bare hands.

>>29953012
Don't touch anything with out bare hands, bring tea-stuff

>>29953049
Huh, thought that fell under kitchen supplies.

>>29953012
Get the tea and don't touch the occult stuff with barehands.

Also, is birdboy strong enough to fly with us naturally or with magic? Because if he's got a public thing, we can always keep it semi-discreet and join the mile high club.

>>29953012
I believe he wanted his books

>>29953012
Are we wearing gloves? Because if not then put on some damn gloves, he said not to touch anything with our bare hands for a reason. Listen to him.

Don't fiddle or experiment with any instruments, devices, or magic thingies, if they look fragile wrap them up in something soft to make sure they don't get jostled or break during transition.

And remember the tea stuff.

>>29953087
I doubt he could fly naturally, he has lighter bones so that he can fly, carrying someone heavier than him doesn't seem like it'd work. Maybe it'd be possible with magic, but it wouldn't be easy.

>>29953012
>now what did he say, earlier...?
That we were the only one with a key to his room so it would be fine if we confiscated all his clothing. Wich is why we're transferring all his clothing to the storage room we reserved for him at the castle.

>>29953012
I believe he asked us to replace his wardrobe with cute and frilly things that can easily be removed.

>>29953087
>>29953072
>>29953062
>>29953049
>>29953085

You got the tea. You put away the soulstones and the rod with great care, along with several catalysts and staves. It was a well-stocked store, and you're going to be putting all this stuff in with the storage as well.

You ride back with peace, humming happily to yourself as you come up on the castle. Geralt helps you unload things, and you grin to yourself as you work. Everything feels great.

You spot the Prince and his Guard arrive back, though the Prince seems incredibly on edge as you put everything away. It takes some time before you sort it all out.

You lean back in thought.

"And you probably shouldn't disturb him right now." you say as you conclude.

He nods.
"Thank you, Gina. Your swift actions have helped immensely." he says. "Though... This whole mess. It wouldn't happen in any kingdom I run." he says with earnestness. "In any case, I'll talk to him later."

You nod. Hm. Perhaps you should dress the Alvin.

You select the blue and gold trim when you approach him, and he takes it out of your hands and slides into it. You hang a pink-ish dress on the door and smile.
"Better than running about in the altogether." you say, kissing his cheek.

"I can... probably do the rituals now. But I, uhm, I want you to know that... Even now, I still like you." he's quiet - but he's not stammering as much. Did he gain a boost in confidence? It's cute~.

You ruffle his hair gently. "I think I feel the same way." you admit, both to him and yourself. You could do worse, and you know it. So many prissy noblemen. More like nobleboys. Ugh. Immature in all the wrong ways...

"So." he says, lifting the soulstones and rod from his access to the storage, "Now we can get some answers!" he says with a grin.

"Alright." he says. "Here I go."

He stamps his foot, blue lines tracing a line through the wood, making a circle. Runes appear within, and with another motion, he throws a soulstone into the circle, where it freezes in the centre.

You've not been one for magic. It was never your strong suit. But Ja'al's face is strong, confident, sure of himself - handsome in a way you don't remember. In romance, he is a blushing, stammering virginal boy.

In magic? He is a /man/. His hand reaches behind him, and a staff appears in it, pulled from storage as he weaves his magic. Power from the air around you both filters into the circle, and soon enough, a formless body is made around the crystal.

"Tell me, bound demon of warriors!" he calls. "Who summoned thee, and who set ye against thy target?"

"Wood Worm." the creature says. "Wood Worm pulled us from the Hells themselves, calling us by name! The names we held in life!" it says. "Wood Worm told us we could have revenge! We offered no price!"

"What?" you manage. "Didn't you say these things were after Annelin?"

Ja'al frowns.
"Who is Wood Worm?"

"Friend and ally! Friend and ally!"

"Tell me where he is!"

The creature stares at Ja'al, then smiles - an otherwise featureless face growing a long gash.

And then it reaches up and snaps its own neck, shattering into tiny pieces.

Ja'al looks on, shocked.

>>29954388
"That isn't supposed to happen, is it?

What have you, the Prince, and Annelin gotten yourselves into?"

>>29954443
Anon please...I can't handle all this paranoia

>>29954443
Let's translate Drak as Wyrm, Dra are the big type of Dragon, so it might fit. If Teel approximately translates to Wood, then we've got some serious questions on our hand.

Before any of you mention that the order is reversed remember that languages rarely put things in the same order as each other.

>>29954614
Teel is another name for sesame oil so it doesn't really fit

>>29954614
Huh, I thought "Gon" translated as wyrm.

>>29954443
Shining Blade. Even you know that.

"Is that supposed to happen?"

"...It's not that. The demon was bound to sacrifice itself to protect its binder. But..." he grins. "Go over the dialogue again in your head. Does anything about it stand out? Anything at all? I think I know something, I just want to see if you can make the same connection or if I'm jumping at straws, here. Remember: Demons can't lie. They can only remember things wrong - and even that is limited. So look at the dialogue... See if you can find the answer."

>Writein
>The answer is in the dialogue.
>Examine carefully what was said, and see if you can find the deeper meaning!
It isn't someone you know - but someone who had to be somewhere, sometime. This is your only hint.

Hey, Avalon.

I'm just dropping in to say that I'm impressed with this quest's writing so far, if it is a bit oversexualized. That's as much a product of the medium as anything, I'd imagine.

Keep up the good work! If you'd like, we'd be more than happy to have you swing by the 4chan writefag channel on Rizon, #writescribbles .

>>29954704
Wood Worm know the names of the victims.

>>29954704
If wood worm knew their names personally and the demons knew annelin then wood worm must have been a survivor from when annelin was used

>>29954704
It has to be someone who knew about annelin and that incident, but also knew the appals that were killed, by name. Theres only going to be a limited few who know both of those, and i bet its either the group who gave her the rod or a survivor appal.

>>29954767
Wood worm, could also be part of the group of people who gave Annelin the rod in the first place.

Also he treated Wood worm in the plural, so it must be a group and not a single individual.

Am I remembering wrong or was our father involved in giving us the soul-sucking rod?

>>29954819
You're right he said themselves so maybe wood could be part of a group or the name of the group itself but i think it's more likely to be critter rebels

>They can only remember things wrong

Calling it right now. These demons aren’t the people they think they are.

>>29954704
"It knew their names, or at least they believe that it did, which likely means it knew these Demons before their deaths. It knew what happened to them, and knows enough about demons to do this.

Not many know these things."

>>29954704
Why did they repeat friend and ally? WAs that just flavour or was it to suggest Wood Worm is two people?

>>29954785
>>29954767
>>29954759
"He knew their names."

"Exactly!" he says, with a wide grin. "That means that...?"

"It had to be either a survivor or someone who gave her the rod."

"Right! So we just ask the king to expose the latter, or we go explore that old Appal mine." you say. "This is so perfect! We must tell the Prince posthaste!"

Such a wide grin.
"You're not used to being so important, are you, Ja'al."

"N-no." he admits, scratching his chin. "But really, now I can see the narrative. A single Appal survives the slaughter of everyone he knows and loves. He summons their demons, after spending about twenty or so years to perfect the art, trying to get it just right. And he sends them after the one the demons hate most."

"Wouldn't it be more effective to send them after the royalty?"

"...Maybe he intended that. Perhaps it's why he waited."

>>Annelin!
>>Both!
>>29954726
Why, thank you. I'll consider that.

>>29955061
>In any case, we should tell...

This is kind of need to know information for both of them, the Prince needs to know because this is a threat to his safety, and if it's a threat to his safety his guardian should also be informed, not to mention this situation is very important to her.

>>29955061
