Your whole body aches lightly - your fitness prevents stiffness for the most part, but you did run to near-total exhaustion carrying Karl. "What... Whats going on? Is Karl okay? We need to have Ja'al check on Monica. We-we're in danger, Micheal." "First of all, Karl told me the same, and Ja'al has run a scan on Monica. She has demonic traces, but no current presence. Ja'al has placed a ward on her neck that will light up if Douglas tries to get in again. We don't know where Douglas's hiding now, but he's given me some assurance against demonic magic. It's okay. Relax." A sigh of relief comes to you, and you smile up at him. "Please, if I wasn't capable of preventing something like this, I wouldn't be much of a prince. You getting Karl here was invaluable. Thank you. However, all this madness has made me realize something. You've been here barely half a month, and every day has been terribly full of stress... I think we need to get you relaxed." he says with a soft sigh, ribbing his nose. >You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!>Well, if the demon can't really harm you, I can see your point.>What do you have in mind?>Let me do my forms, first.>No thanks. I have letters to write.>How long was I out?>Writein
>>30102308>>You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!
>You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!Let's not jump straight into the ecchi, for once. PLEASE.
>>30102410Seconding this dude with all I've got
>>30102308>You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!
>>30102308>>You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!>>Let me do my forms, first.We can mull it over during our forms.
>>30102308>You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!If the demon can't hurt him right now, that's great. But it's still out there and whoever else is trying to kill him probably still has other avenues of attack.
>>30102308>>You can't be serious. You're in severe danger!You silly fucker
>>30102462>>30102444>>30102443>>30102424>>30102410>>30102408 "You can't be serious!" you manage, "We're in severe danger!" He taps his chin a few times, looking at the ceiling."It is your duty to safeguard me, yes?" he says, "So wouldn't it be safest for me to be with you, alone, out in the city, away from the castle, where the demon is known to be anchored?" he raises an eyebrow. "This is where Douglas was destroyed, mentally and physically. Not this room, mind, but this castle. It stands to reason that this is where he's strongest. I'm not flippant." You fix him with a glare. "Okay, I'm not flippant about my personal safety." he admits, "But there is a wonderful play in town. And a bake day for Raev. And so many other wonderful events. I want you to understand that there's more to life here than standing on a razor wire and being on edge all the time. Ja'al is handling this - And I trust him." >Let me at least talk to him, first.>How can I be sure this isn't the demon's influence?>How can I be sure you're not Douglas?>Fine. Let's go see that play.>>...If you're so insistent.>Fine, let's go to the bake day.>>...If you're so insistent.>You want to leave so the king is in greater danger, don't you.>Writein
>Let me at least talk to him, first.>How can I be sure this isn't the demon's influence?>How can I be sure you're not Douglas?We are waaaaay off our priorities, here. Even if the job is harder than we thought it would be, we still need to do it. Poon and RnR can wait until we're not in danger of getting someone killed.
>>30102600>How can I be sure you're not Douglas?
>>30102600>How can I be sure this isn't the demon's influence?>How can I be sure you're not Douglas?Paranoia_Intensifies
>>30102600Even if we do go into town, we should still be in bodyguard mode. There IS a demon out there, after all. Let's get kitted up.
>>30102600>Let me at least talk to him, first.>How can I be sure this isn't the demon's influence?>How can I be sure you're not Douglas?
>>30102600>>Let me at least talk to him, first.>>How can I be sure this isn't the demon's influence?>>How can I be sure you're not Douglas?
>>30102657You thought you went on a date with the prince, But it was me EGO!
>>30102695>>30102661>>30102660>>30102620 "First of all, I want to talk to Ja'al." you say, sitting up. You flush when you realize you're in your undergarments, but Micheal is looking away, his back to you. "That's reasonable." he says, "He wanted to have some words with you anyway - warding and the like." he nods as you dress in your armor - which has been cleaned and polished, you note - and pick up your cleaned weapon and shield. You stretch, doing a foreshortened version of your forms. Simple stretching and movements to work out the kinks of a full night's sleep, or longer. "How can I be sure you're not under the influence of the demon, or that you're not the actual demon?" "Because," he says, "I'd have killed you if I was. As it stands, I had to stay here night and day for a whole day to make sure only Karl saw you." You nod, confident in his reasoning as you head up to Ja'al's room, knocking on the door. "A-a moment p-please!" he calls. There's some mumbling, shuffling, and a hurried push, then the door opens. Ja'al smiles sheepishly at you as you enter his room, a golden circle in one corner. His bed is relatively small compared to yours, and Gina's cloak hangs off one corner - he whips it off the corner and tosses it into some drawers hurriedly, pink flushing his face. "S-so! Any questions regarding the current matter with Douglas?" >Ask away.
>>30102810Could you whip up something that detects demons? Makes our job a lot easier.
>>30102810"Do you have any idea where he is right now?"
>>30102810"The prince said something about the demon being at its strongest in the place it was created. Can you elaborate a bit on that?"
>>30102810"Can you teach me how to detect demons? I feel like that's going to be a useful skill in the near future."
>>30102810smirk and ask him how things are going with gina
>>30102810Before we leave, we need to lean in and shout "Hi Gina!"
"If this place is where Douglas is anchored, we can fairly assume that he will in some way exert his powers here beyond simply walking in with a knife. What powers or abilities can we expect him to flex, here? And why do you think Michael is Michael and not Douglas?"
>>30102855>>30102864>>30102882>>30102810Some combination of these
>>30102851>>30102855"Any way you can detect him, or find him?" He walks about his lab."Demons have a very distinct soul signature." he says, "Were this any demon but a Seducer, my answer would be a resounding yes." he groans. "But Seducers are masters of subterfuge and quiet deaths. They can create illusions - given Douglas's power and what I've seen, he can mask sight and the third eye, allowing him to hide his magic and mask visible light." he grumbles. "Right now, I can detect when he's acting upon a person, when he's attempting to posess a person, or when his illusions are acting upon a place. Here, for the both of you." he hands us both diamond rings. "They'll vibrate and shine when illusions are in action in the area - about ten feet around you. Further..." he reaches up, then hops, then sighs, gesturing for you to lean down. When you do, he slaps your neck, a warm feeling there. "This will brighten when you've been possessed. Others will know, then. Otherwise, you will be the only one to know, but unable to act unless your willpower overcomes his." "Micheal mentioned something about him being created here being relevant?" "A demon is based upon memory and regret." Ja'al states, closing his work case. "it stands to reason places of those memories and regrets hold significant power for the demon. In the castle, he can move without being sensed like a ghost, he can create audial illusions as well as the ones I mentioned, and he's very martially strong. If you get into a fight with him, /don't let him touch you./" he leans in to say that. He slaps Micheal's neck, the seal - A small purple point - dull and unshining. You grin and call out to Gina, getting a surprised sound from under the bed. "See? All sorted. Ja'al will handle it." Micheal says. >Fine. Let's go see that play.>>...If you're so insistent.>Fine, let's go to the bake day.>>...If you're so insistent.>Practice and forms!>Suspect Micheal.>Writein
>Practice and forms.We get jumped out in the open, we don't want to be out of shape.Then go get some goddamned food.
>>30103095>Fine. Let's go see that play.>>...If you're so insistent.
>>30103095>Fine, let's go to the Bake day>But were doing extra training tomorrow!

>>30103095>Practice and forms!Seriously, this is how we relax.
>>30103095>Practice and forms!
>>30103208>>30103199>>30103147>>30103126>>30103118 You sigh, looking at the ceiling."Fine. let's go see that play. If you're so insistent." you grumble. "Fantastic!" he says, "It's on this evening. So..." >>30103176>>30103196>>30103117"So we're practicing and I'm going through my forms." you say, all of you walking down to the training yard. You get to work, something in the corner of the yard standing there. It's only as you finish that he stands up, cricking his neck and smiling at you. White scales. Horns. Grey armor, short sword and iron sleeve. A strong, tall frame and a white tail. D-DrakTeel? "It's been so long, Annelin." he says softly. >Illusion!>Micheal, do you see him?>I don't understand. How did you get here, Teel?>Hug the dragon-man.>Writein
>>30103391>Micheal, do you see him?>Check to see if our ring is doing some sorta magic-y thing.
>>30103391>Michael do you see him?
>>30103391>I don't understand. How did you get here, Teel?This reeks of illusion, but let's not tip our hand just yet. Also, stay out of grabbing range.
>>30103391>>Micheal, do you see him?
>>30103391Combat stance is a go.>Micheal, do you see him?
>>30103391>I don't understand. How did you get here, Teel?Check the ring we just got, see if it's doing anything.
>>30103391>resist the urge to hug>Micheal, do you see him?>check your ring>directly ask if he's Douglas
"Teel? Didn't you get my message?"(Stalling for time as you search for illusion)
>>30103391>>Micheal, do you see him?Form up
>>30103429>>30103426>>30103412>>30103410Your ring isn't responding, but he's pretty far off. "Micheal, you see him, right?" "Yeah, of course." he says, going through his own forms. He snaps to each with impressive mediocrity, given the training you've put him through. Two weeks and he's gone from useless to... barely passable. You look him over, and he seems to be the same man you happily held for that long night. You bite your lip in memory, and he smiles. "I'm sorry for the surprise. I've come to bring you a warning." he says, holding up a letter. "Please, take it." >I can't trust you right now.>Take the letter.>Stab the illusion.>Ask him something only Teel would know (writein)>Move within ten feet.>Writein
>>30103621>Write-inMind throwing the letter? We can't really get in range of touching you right now.
>>30103621Trip was misspelled all this time, and I didn't notice. Sorry, AG.
>>30103621>>Ask him something only Teel would know (writein)maybe ask about what was said during the night of intimacy
>>30103641This, while asking him about what he told us about Dra Courtship and where we stand in it the night before we fucked.
>>30103695this
>>30103679>>30103695These might not work, given that he already knows who Teel is in the first place. I don't know where or how he got that info.
>>30103621"Teel, do you remember what card game we played that night that I got so smashed I blacked out?"
>>30103774Seeing as we played the same game with Douglas, that might not be so smart.
>>30103621>Ask him something only Teel would know (writein)Ask him what color we were wearing the last night we saw each other. We were wearing white lingerie for that, and even Monica shouldn't know exactly what color we selected for him.
>>30103695>>30103722>>30103726 "What was it you said about Dra courtship?" you said. "Something about... short..." He smiles."Some relationships are short and wild, full of fire and passion." he says, stepping a little closer. Your ring buzzes as he rushes you, illusion dissipating as your shock hits you. Douglas is there, tail whipping at the air as he hisses, reaching for your neck with black hands. Your ring is still shining. >Leap through the incoming demon.>Attack the incoming demon.>Evade the incoming demon to the side.>Writein
>>30103641this, plus asking him if he'd mind going into town with us. Ja'al said Douglas can only create illusions in the castle, if we leave the illusion fades
>>30103834>Evade the incoming demon to the side.
>>30103834>>Evade the incoming demon to the side.
>>30103834>Evade the incoming demon to the side.Don't let him touch us. Get our weapons out, and prepare to stab this fuck.
>>30103834EvadeTell Michael to either run or get help.CMON DOUGLAS WE FREED YOU DON'T BE A DOUCHE
>>30103834Evade, use the spear to trip him up as he goes past
>>30103834>evade should we try to reason with him?as silly as that sounds, if it worked...
Scream all bloody murder and evade.
>>30103834Is Michael still standing behind us? If so, we need to attack to incapacitate the fucker.
>>30103944I don't think Annelin is anywhere near socially adept to pull that off.Hell, I doubt anyone is that socially adept without mind-influencing magics, and they're what got us into this mess in the first place!
>>30103834Are we currently missing Raev's bake day, or is that happening at night given her nocturnal worship?
>>30103884>>30103883>>30103873>>30103863 You leap to one side, the demon rolling smoothly into a standing position. "Micheal! Get help!" you call. He nods and flees, the demon staring after him. Then it turns to you, smiling wide. It takes slow steps towards you, easily across the whole yard from you. Your ring is buzzing still, the demon's hands at its sides, hands up, head down. "You cannot win, this fight is fin. From the start, you little tart." he says with a wheezing laugh. >Rush him down! (Might)>Attempt to sense magic use. (Magic)>Something's not right. Keep moving! (Mind)>Writein (Type will be assigned.) Reminder: Read the character sheet!
Heh only just got the joke about Raev having a baking day.
>>30103834>>30103834Evade and trip"You're fighting the wrong people douglas."
>>30104018This guy speaks in rhymes...?FIND SOMETHING ORANGE, SILVER OR PURPLE.
>>30104018>Something's not rightIt's like this is all taking place in our head or something.
>>30104018>ALL-SEEING EYE: You may, at any time, choose to look through a single material as if it was not present. Doing so will make your eye glow.Can we use that to see through illusions?
>>30104018>Attempt to sense magic use. (Magic)Probably more layers of illusionary shit going on.
We can ignore magic armor and fail a defense to get a crit next time...
>>30104018Can we use our eye to see through his illusions? If so act like we're still caught then stab him when he's commited.
>>30104059I was wondering about that, depends on whether magical energy counts as a material.If so, then I second this.
>>30104018... Oh shit he isn't really there is he...Call micheal back
>>30104059Completely forgot about that. USE IT NOW!
>>30104059>>30104062>>30104071yeah, do this.
>>30104059This. We -might- have just fucked over Micheal by telling him to run off.
>>30104018open the eye, our material is magic
>>30104059looks like we're on something
>>30104018Speaking of our character sheet, the perk we got when we were out with Karl hasn't been added. And the ring buzzing means there's some illusion going on within 10 feet of us, not just across the training field. If possible take a look with our Eye, look through Illusions with possible, otherwise try to sense magic around us. If Douglas gets close bash him in the face with our shield, if we're lucky it should stun him and knock him down.
>>30104018>ALL SEEING EYE USED! You head aches as the demon vanishes from sight - but you hear him step up behind you, and slip away from his grip. But his finger brushes you, and a single surge of the worst pain you've ever experienced wracks your body, making you trip and stumble. "Saw through the Shell Game, that you did. If you live it'll earn you fame. But failure like that I cannot stand, so I shall expunge you from this land." You look upon him without magic, and what you see shocks you. A young man, with brown hair, his face a rictus of pain and sadness. Tears of blood drip from his face, his whole body slightly slumped. A scar, not on his body, but on his being, runs from his navel to his neck, a glowing, ugly thing. In an aura around him are wild visions of writhing figures - the king, the old princess, and dozens of others. "Now you see me f'r what I am." he says softly, raising his blade in a quiet, competent stance. You remember him, now, the face putting a story behind the memories. A young man from the military, the best swordsman of his time. A visionary who needed no armor or shield, renowned for shattering the weapons of his opponents and thus not needing it. "Bring release, relief, or recompense..." he moans. In truth, the sight is sad. >Attempt to talk it down. (Writein)>Maintain the Eye, Attack directly.

>>30104436>>Maintain the Eye despite the pain, fight defensively (Mind)Let's not get reckless
>>30104436>attempt to talk it downDouglas if you kill us you'll never know who gave the man who killed you his power, and besides that man isn't king your memories are mixed up it was his father.You can have the king for all I care just leave micheal out of this, he isn't like them.
>>30104436>>Attempt to talk it down. (Writein)Ask him how we would go about bringing him release or relief, since we already know what he wants in recompense.>>30104472Reinhold and his not-father shattered their own swords, not enemies.
Looks like this universes reinhold choose the right princess...
>>30104436>Maintain the Eye despite the pain, fight defensively (Mind)>>30104530How about we not loudly voice that it's totally cool for the demon to kill the king in the castle grounds, okay?
>>30104553Actually they shattered both.
>>30104530>You can have the king for all I careLets NOT say this.
>>30104436>Maintain the Eye despite the pain, fight defensively (Mind)>Attempt to talk it down. (Writein)"look, i'm sorry about what happened to you and your girl, but Michael has nothing to do with this.and i freed you, remember? can't you at least leave the two of us alone as a thank you?"
>>30104581If there was anyone else around they would be helping us.
>>30104530>You can have the king for all I care just leave micheal out of this, he isn't like them.Is this nigger serious
>>30104530>>30104600Please stop.

>>30104436"I can see why she abandoned you HA HA HA"
>>30104600I think that writein would probably just make him angrier, so I'd caution against us using it.
>>30104436>Maintain the Eye despite the pain, fight defensively (Mind)>Attempt to talk it down. (Writein)"I have seen your past, and I know the pain you're suffering Douglas. But Micheal does not deserve your hate, he has done nothing to warrant your wrath. You will not find release, relief, or recompense in hunting down an innocent."
>>30104436>>Maintain the Eye, defend self. (Mind)michael has gone to get help, we just need to keep him off us long enoughalso didnt Karl say that when a person is possessed they have their soul consumed and are dead or am i thinking of something else, if not monicha should be dead but i think im wrong.

>>30104854You raise your spear."You don't need to do this! You're confused!" you shout, as it moves in, blade dancing around your spear and shield. You barely keep up, gasping as you feel yourself falling behind. The blade buzzes as you move around him, and it laughs. "You ask for help from others here, but you forget my powers well." he whispers. "I will TAKE you here and now, and bring the pain that Dolan dealt. Upon his blood, upon his heart, I WILL /SPEAR/ THEM, YOU LITTLE TART!" he roars, breaking your defense with a kick and a wrenching away of your shield. The fastenings on your left side snap open as he laughs madly, pushing you back as you're pushed against the wall. The pain in your head increases as he laughs. And you come to a fearful conclusion. He doesn't want to kill you. He wants something much worse. >Attempt to fight back with a strong offense. (Might)>Attempt to remain defensive - the others have to come back soon!

>>30105761>Implying it doesn't always go like this
>>30105736Huh, I thought he was trying to mind jack us after erasing our personality. Guess we're more likely to survive than I thought.
Welp, uhm I reqally don't know how to react to this. Maybe Mike will manage to get us some back up?
Guys, look on the bright side.Maybe he'll go in for a blowjob and we can just bite it off.
>>30105835Seducer, remember.Once it starts, Annelin will love it.
Welp only one thing to do here.>unzips pants.
This is really not a good comeback thread.Especially after an Ego reveal.Having the protagonist get raped isn't very good.
>>30106021Like maybe should have just waited for the ban to expire?
>>30106021I was just thinking Ego is a ballsy motherfucker if this goes down, but I don't think we're down for the count yet.
>>30106021I missed the whole EGO thing, care to give me a quick tl;dr ?Sorry for being a newfag ;_;
>>30106099Just look at the twitter.
>>30106095I hope it doesn't go down because I know how /tg/ is about drama.They'll be dredging up the fact that Annelin got raped in every single conversation she has with any character for the rest of the quest.
>>30106121Already did, just don't know what "ego" did that was so bad it made him go into hiding.
Well, shitRape made Guts strong, maybe it'll do the dame for us?
>>30106173Go read the QTG then. I'm not giving you a canned history of /tg/ politics.
You wince as you feel tiny grazes erupt into full blown shearing pain, groaning with each one. There's only one way out. You only hope your mind can even take it. You defend aggressively, leaving a single blind spot, a chink in your defense, on purpose. You watch his movements, then, as the blade moves towards you, you turn off your eye. You feel the blade slide into your side, an attack he never would have taken unless you guided the weapon with your spear, and the pain rises with it. But you grin like a madwoman, as the world slows again. With a cackle, you grasp his hand that grips his cracked sword, pulling it in. "Enough pain has been caused by Dolan and his legacy. No more." you gasp out, winding back a gauntleted fist. With a mighty roar, you slam it into his face. You feel bone crack and cartelidge snap, you feel blood fleck your face even if you don't see it. His illusion fades, and you follow him down. His stunned mind calls up images and sounds, and then you groan, massive pleasure rising from the wound in your side, clouding your head. Micheal comes in ahead of everyone else, seeing your position - impaled on a long, cracked blade, moaning in pleasure, trying to remain upright as he watches his young grandmother be taken by Dolan. The pleasure begins to cloud your mind like pink fog, making it hard to resist squirming. Along with everyone else that piled in. >Keep punching. Don't stop punching. (Might)>Stab him and push off of the blade. (Might)>Lose contact as a priority, try to regain mental stability. (Mind)>Remain where you are. Others will help, right?
>>30106214>Stab him and push off of the blade. (Might)

>>30106419Lurk more.
>>30106214>Keep punching. Don't stop punching. (Might)The only thing that we know is real is his face getting punched. So keep doing that.
>>30106419It doesn't matter, within the context of the quest there's either AvalonGuard or AvalonSquire. Leave the Ego meta out of the equation since it really isn't relevant.

>>30106547>>30106528>>30106527 You pull yourself off of the blade, stumbling away as the guards swarm on the demon. Swords rise and fall on the stunned and disabled creature, blood flying out as the visions he creates distort and shift. You lean against the wall as Micheal rushes to your side. "Annelin! Annelin!" he says, holding you up, concern on his face as you both slip lower. "'m okay." you manage, looking up at him. "Might not make it to th' play, though." you slump over... ... ... ... "I really hope this is the last major thread for some time. She can't keep abusing herself like this." Karl says with a sigh. "Will she be okay?" Micheal says, worried. "She'll... Be fine." Karl says. "The medicines we have here will leave her with two scars, but... I managed to repair the internal damages she suffered, and the blood within her systems should cycle out in due time." he says with a smile as Micheal sits down heavily, a chair creaking. "I just wonder how you feel." "Me? I'm fine." "Even..." Micheal sighs."It's not something I wanted to see. But it couldn't be helped." >Continue to pretend to be asleep.>Call out.>Check self.>writein

>Illusions>Seducer>StealthSo how is our standing with Coyo?
>>30107067He seemed to like us when we last talked to him, we were polite, amusing, and complimented him on his job with the stars. He might think we're a bit stupid for touching fluffy tail though, that could have gone badly.Raev also seems to like us, she didn't say much but she didn't have to.
>>30107121Anyone who personally ogles you while you dance naked likes you at least a little bit
You pretend to be asleep. "I was hoping we could just have a nice day on the town." he mumbles. "She deserves better than to keep getting hurt like this." "She's made her choice, Micheal." "I know, I know." he says. "Besides. You did what you could for today's festival. Your appearance with Gina and me was the talk of the town. Put a lot of smiles on a lot of faces. Especially when you welcomed that Alvin couple. That couldn't have been easy." "The past is the past. Those people will bring more trade to the city, and I'm happy to have them here." "I'm glad to hear it. So... What were you planning tonight?" "I think I'll just... go look at the stars or something. I wish Annelin was alright enough to come." "Well, once she wakes up, she should be good to go." "I hope so. Monica was too frightened, even though I saw the play with her... it wasn't the same. And she's getting clingy." "You say that as if having a beautiful mayor's daughter hanging off your every word as well as your arm was unpleasant." "...It's not, not really. But..." A laugh."Ah, I see." "J-just... don't tease." he says quietly. "Just two weeks, and... Heh. I should have known - A romantic like you..." "Hah! More likely you'll find someone first, you old fart." Micheal says in jibe. "So she's just your friend?" "..." "I see, then. You can stop pretending to be asleep now, Annelin." "You... She..." "No need to get upset, Micheal. I think she understands what you meant just fine." >Writein
>>30107162"Or you could let me rest. I deserve it"
>>30107162"I think I'd like to see those stars with you."
>>30107162I'd rather lie in. I think my body will start shouting obscenities at me if I push it any more.
>>30107162It is time."Ara ara~"
>>30107162"Star watching, is it? I'd wager I can handle that."
>>30107162(sigh) "Did I miss Raev's bake out?"
>>30107226this
>>30107162'But I don't wanna. Besides I'm just resting my eyes.'
>>30107162"Star watching is it. Fine. Karl, you're carrying me."
>>30107162I'm not pretending to sleep, I'm trying to go back to sleep.
>>30107210>>30107218Combination of these two.
"Is it 'pretending' if you're in so much pain that moving feels like dying?"
>>30107273Supporting this.
>>30107210Seconding thatWe corny now
>>30107273I'll third this.
>>30107312I don't think we're in quite that much pain. The internal injuries were dealt with, we might be tired and sore, but we aren't that bad off.
>>30107162These>>30107210>>30107218>>30107226It'll be romantic.
>>30107210This
>>30107359Yeah, a night under the stars with our surrogate kid brother. It'll be adorable!
>>30107407>surrogate kid brotherThat just makes it more forbiddenRaev is our patron, after all
>>30107162I wouldn't have to pretend if you weren't so loud. But stars sound nice, if you don't mind some company
>>30107407Brother, seriously?>>30107210Just go with this
>>30107407You do remember how flirty we were when we went on the trip into the Wilds with him.He's not our little brother, we actually have spent time ogling him.
>>30107431I like the way you think
>>30107431The only way I could get behind Michael McWhinypants is if we have him calling us "big sis" and literally keep him on a leash. Otherwise I just find him too off putting to deal with.
>>30107210>>30107281>>30107253>>30107226 "Hmn hmmm~" you smile, making an amused sound. "I wouldn't mind that at all, but I'm a bit sore." you manage. "Is there..." "I'll get you one." Karl rises, setting out a wheelchair. "I had the nurse dress you in something light." You rise, feeling the dress cling just a little as you do so. And indeed, you're sore - arms, shoulders, belly, mostly. Douglas's swordplay did quite a number, and you can feel the deep scar on your side and back where you were stabbed. "Ah, you still like this wrecked lady, hm, Prince?" "You're not old or wrecked! You're barely five years older than me and you only have a few scars!" he objects, though he sighs, scratching the back of his head as you sit down in the wheelchair. You lean back as Micheal takes the handles and you look up at him."So I missed a few things..." "Not really. The play was just human propoganda as usual. All about how critters should find harmony in working with people and not the other way around." he grumbles, pushing you along. He's carrying a bag. "It was a pain, but I got to welcome some people who were moving into the city." "Really?" He nods as you wheel outside."It was nice. I got to see their child smile. When they're young they're pretty agile fliers, and he landed on my head." "That small?!" "Alvin children average about a foot tall and are very light. Their wings develop first." "Childproofing must be hellish." He laughs as he hands you a warm, small black cake with silvery frosting, along with a fork. You taste it, it's so sweet and warm and soft, you let out a small sound of appreciation. "I hope I never get like Dolan." he says softly. "Stories say he changed when he took office. He got... cold." >Writein
>>30107481When has he ever whined, he's a pretty cool guy.
>>30107522"He was also a product of the times. More importantly, like hell if I'm going to let that happen to you."
>>30107522"Please elaborate. Also this is awesome. Karl, Michael, have some."
>>30107522>>30107522As if I'd let you change.
>>30107481He would be more likely to call us mom with that complex of his
>>30107569I can get behind this
>>30107522"You're a good person, Michael, you're not going to end up like Dolan... and if you start to slip, I'll just have to triple your training time so you're too exhausted for evil schemes."
>>30107569This one wins it.
>>30107522"You will change some as you grow older and more responsibilities are placed on you. But you'll never become like that, I'll make sure of it."And give him a bite of cake, Raev cake is the best cake.
>>30107577Im fine with that as well.
>>30107522We should probably say a quick prayer of thanks to Raev. It was probably her blessing that kept our mind from being erased.
>>30107522"Don't wory, if you ever start acting like that i'll be sure to give you a swift kick in the rear"
>>30107673I figure that as soon as we're up and at it we should make a pantheon circuit and give our thanks to all the deities.Except Law. Law can fuck himself.Like Raev gave us a blessing, Coyo gave us a magic eye, that spider whose name I forgot gave us a indestructible bra, even Clown healed that head trauma that he indirectly caused.
>>30107569I really like this one. Seconding.Guess the whole romance thing was impossible to avoid huh
>>30107818We just had a fight with a boner demon and got stabbed something fierce. Don't get so snippy over something some of us want.
>>30107843>boner demonHow horrifying.
>>30107843Eh, I don't mind that much, just feels a bit quick.Plus he's the second guy we fuck in just 14 parts, I don't want this turning into a habit.
>>30107733If only we'd been stabbed int the indestructible bra instead of not. But yeah, thank him for not fucking us over.
>>30107912>second guy we fuckGetting a bit ahead of ourselves, aren't we? Its just a little stargazing. Shit, I don't think we are really in the condition to fuck even if we wanted to.
>>30107912I find it odd that he's jonesing for us to compare him to Teel. Why he expects that comparison to be in his favor is beyond me.
>>30107912We aren't fucking him yett.
>>30107933We should really find a way to use that in combination with bloodmind.>>30107940We both know this is where this is gonna go eventually. It never ends
>>30107569"As if I'd let you change." you grumble. "You're fine the way you are." He sits down, pulling up a chair beside you. You realize the two of you are alone again, and he starts to eat his own cake. "I've been practicing at night." he says. "Had to stop talking to one of my girls, but..." "Your girls?" "My friends." he corrects. "She was pretty sore! But... I feel like I'm progressing, at least." "You are. You're almost as good as a soldier. But soldiering is more about endurance than skill. And you need to work on both." "Thanks, I suppose." "Hey, you're improving pretty fast." you admit. "In time you might be able to actually fight in a royal duel without looking a fool." He smiles back."I hope Monica doesn't do something foolish. She's looking at you with those jealous eyes." "I thought that was Douglas?" "Ja'al says it's some kind of... footprint. Pushing what was there already. I did some investigating, and these are yours." He hands you three letters."From Teel." he says, a little distantly. "I got mine today too. He's worried about you." You find yourself smiling. "But... There's some news in there that might..." he frowns. "Please, just... choose for yourself to read them." >Read them>Don't read them >>Writein

>>30108000Leave it for nowThen say"When you said your girls I was worried you'd gone back to your old ways, atleast the towns folk dont have to fear for their daughters virtue."

>>30108000>>Don't read themI dont know why we get all sad about teel because we knew he ws leaving and it wasnt like we were in love with him or anythng, we knew him for like 3 days. if he gets married or something we shouldnt be shocked because he said he was already engaged or whatever.
>>30108000>>Don't read themNot now, at least. Tonight is Micheal's night.
>>30108000>>Don't read them
>>30108000>Don't read them"I'll read them later, right now I just want to watch the stars with you."Smile and then ruffle his hair.
>>30108000"Wait, you already read my mail?"If he says yes then just tell him to give us the rundown, otherwise read them.
>>30108196>"Wait, you already read my mail?"He read his own letters, which probably included said news.
>>30108196I think he got the information from his own letters from Teel.
Invitations to his political marriage, I suspect.We already had our sad moment over that, so we're over crying about it.
>>30108000>Read them
>>30108284If it is a wedding invitation we're asking a god (not Law, probably not Clown) to accompany us as our plus one.
>>30108380Cool time warp, bro.
>>30108380The fuck?
>>30108380A bit behind there anon?Pic. unrelated, wanted to see what it was b/c of filename and I can't remember what it is about.
"I think I'll enjoy the moment, for now." you lean back, staring up at the stars. "They say that the moon is Law's." he says. "What?" "After the sky was shattered and painted, each god claimed a star." he says. "Anan took the brightest, so that his workers could see by its light. Coyo took the one that is only seen on holy days, to signal his peoples when it was time to celebrate." "Which one is that?" He points. One star flickers in the distance, on and off, almost constantly. he laughs."Raev chose the shooting star, the symbol of fate and fortune. Clown chose the blackness the stars rest on." "What did law choose?" The young man grins and points. The moon hangs low, full and huge."He chose the biggest." he says. "They say it was so he could build his home there. The others all have small homes, humble ones, with three rooms each. Clown wanders from place to place. And Law, they say, has a massive mansion on and in the moon." "What of the other gods?" "Every star up there is supposed to hold one, as Rikard says. The Dragon Lords, the Nine Eyes, all of them." he lays back and sighs, taking off his jacket. You didn't notice until now, but... "The training is showing results, huh?" He grins, flexing a little. Before, he was a little weedy, now he's... strong. His arms, bared by his tunic, are thicker than before, more defined. "Been eating more meat, too." he adds, laying back. "Been thinking of asking Teel to a spar, if he ever comes back." >Writein
>>30108527"Do...you want to rest your head on my lap?"GOTTA PLAY TO HIS MOTHERLY LOVE REQUIREMENT.
>>30108527Maybe I could be your Teel, bro. Mom and dad would never know.But seriously, we should volunteer to be his sparring mate once we get better. We did beat Teel, after all.
>>30108527Aww you two don't have to fight over me.
>>30108527>"Been thinking of asking Teel to a spar, if he ever comes back.""Confident. I'll have to make sure you're ready for him."
>>30108563Please stop
>>30108527"Hehe, you'll have to get in line Prince. But I'll try to leave him intact enough for you to get a good round or two in."
>>30108563I have a feeling that in her condition annelin would put her head in his lap.Also I don't think he has a complex anon, he just prefered his mother to his complete asshole of a father.
>>30108527"he would wipe the floor with you just like i did with him, lured him in close by letting my guard down on purpous and when he landed the blow i griped his arm and fliped him right over my shoulder in a single move, I'll have to teach you that trick one day..."
>>30108645Yeah this.
>>30108592This seems to be the least awful so far.
>>30108527"I think we'll have to give you a fair bit more training before you're ready to tangle with him. Still, it's good to see that you're getting into this."
>>30108527"I'm looking forward to it, you ought to learn a lot from that fight.And yes, the training is showing results. You've been working hard, I'm proud of you."Ruffle Micheal's hair, it's affectionate and he's been good.
Just be friendly. Let's not be flirty. He may have to order us to fight some day. Can't have romance getting in the way.
>>30108773It's a bit late to stop being flirty, we've been doing it for a while, and Micheal likes us in a romantic way.
>>30108773Forbidden romance for the forbidden romance goddess!
>>30108773>>30108731"You're showing results and you're just good enough to learn from that fight and not just be frustrated." you say, "I'd like to see it happen." you ruffle his soft warm hair, and he leans into it a little before seemingly coming to sense and backing away, looking a little embarrassed. "In fact, once I'm not quite so sore, I'd be happy to spar with you myself." His eyes go a little wide and his cheeks redden a little."W-well..." he manages, "I, uhm. Well. With armor?" he asks, nervously. >Without, and with practice weapons. You have to feel those blows. And see how I feel when you hit.>With, you little rascal. You think you'd be able to grapple me without my leathers that easy?>Depends on a few things, (Writin)>Writein

He goes quiet and red, and you laugh."That eager to see me in my workout outfit, hm?" you ask. "Hmmmn hmn, what's a lady to do." He flushes even deeper and stammers a little. "And if you prove you can handle it, we may move on to unarmed." He stares at his feet."Sorry, sometimes I can't help it." you lean back in the chair as he chuckles. Silence reigns for a moment as he stares at the sky. "Dad says I'm to have another meeting with Sulani." he says. "She's got a new bodyguard now. Then we're meeting the Tou Dynasty from the opposite continent. Something about cultural exchange, an ambassador coming by." >Writein
>>30109392"Oh?"Clearly there's more to this?
>>30109392"I'll make sure to give you more cupboard time with her if you'd like."

>>30109761agreed
>>30109761Agreed
>>30109500>"Wonder if other Dra men are like Teel..."Micheal outright told us Teel is a bit of an outsider among his kind when it comes to his taste in women. In fact, most Dra men would likely find our openness and aggressiveness disgusting and shameful.
>>30109815I don't think that comment was directed at the new guy's personality or temperament.
>>30109866What I'm saying is he likely wont want to make fuck since we are a disgusting pig-gaijin. Secondly, its just a dumb thing to say.
>>30109895Oh I agree with you and suggested we not say it on the basis of you're second point (it's dumb), but it looked like you weren't really addressing the point of the comment (Annelin's off in LaLa imagination land and not thinking practically). Sorry for my confusion.
>>30109492"I'll make sure to give you more cupboard time with her if you'd like."He flushes even deeper. "A-annelin." he grumbles. "Besides. That's up to her, not me." he says, lobbing a small stone across the yard. "She's... A little too aggressive for my taste." "You think she's...""No, I wouldn't call her a whore or anything. She just has trouble taking no for an answer. And I have trouble saying it. Besides that, there's the bodyguard. Teel's told me he's... Not a very kind man.""What do you mean?""He's rude. Abrasive. Has troubles with his temper. Among his people, they say he has the heart of a 'gon."You wince. Not good at all."I wish you could be as happy as me during this visit." he says with a sigh. "I'm sorry.">It's not your fault.>I'm sure I'll find something to do.>Don't worry about me. >What would you be able to do about it?>Writein
>>30109895Speeding of disgusting pig-gaijin, what are orcs(or whatever Ja'al's girlfriend who's name is eluding men's dad is) like in this setting? Tribal and honorable or canabalistic savages?
>>30110019>Don't worry about me.We can handle a rude lizard and the fact that our lizard-lover isn't coming isn't exactly a surprise.
>>30110019>It's not your fault.>WriteinNot like we're obligated to interact with the bodyguard in anything but a professional sense.
>>30110019>Laugh it off"Teel got himself promoted, Highness, I'm not going to begrudge him his success. Besides, it'll give me more time to devote to my own training and for once I might start making it regularly to temple to say my prayers."
>>30110019>It's not your fault.>I'm sure I'll find something to do.>What would you be able to do about it?
>>30110019>Don't worry about me.
>>30110019>>I'm sure I'll find something to do.>>Don't worry about me.>>30110030Ogres. Since they are citizens of the empire I imagine they're more than savages.
>>30110019"Don't worry so much. It was out of our hands, and I can handle a rude Dra.Do you know anything about the ambassador from Tou?"Also, what does Annelin know about the Tou Dynasty anyways?
>>30110261Calling it now, Teel's the ambassador and he's bringing his new wife with him.
>>30110096"Teel got himself promoted, Highness, I'm not going to begrudge him his success. Besides, it'll give me more time to devote to my own training and for once I might start making it regularly to temple to say my prayers.""I suppose." he says, looking up at you. "You deserve someone, is all." he rises, stretching. "Do you want to go to bed?" he asked. "I mean, uhm." he flushed heavily. "Do you want me to take... Do you want to go..." he sighs. "You know what I'm saying." he grumbles.>My, what a forward offer!>I understand. Yes, it's time you wheeled me up to my room.>I could stand to watch the stars a bit longer. >Writein
>>30110568>My, what a forward offer!
>>30110568>>My, what a forward offer!
>>30110568>I understand. Yes, it's time you wheeled me up to my room."Though I'm still not up for anything too strenuous."
>>30110568>My, what a forward offer!>I could stand to watch the stars a bit longer.
>>30110568>My, what a foward offer!>I understand. Yes, it's time you wheeled me up to my room."I do hope you wouldn't take advantage of an injured woman, however."
>>30110654add "You should wait until I can stand on my own two feet."
>>30110568>>I understand. Yes, it's time you wheeled me up to my room.Fucking captcha, wtf
>>30110568>Ohoho! My what a forward offer!>Yes, you may wheel me to my room.I really want an excuse to wheel chair joust someone, but I'm sure that would end horribly.
>>30110568>>My, what a forward offer!>>I could stand to watch the stars a bit longer.
>>30110568>My, what a forward offer!Oh Mike, taking advantage of Annelin's weakened state to go on the offensive?
>>30110568>My, what a forward offer!And we should probably use his room, it has soundproofing, ours doesn't.
>>30110849I don't think we're actually sleeping with him, you know.
>>30110633>>30110753>>30110594>>30110611>>30110760"Oho! What a forward offer." you say, smiling. He kicks a rock quietly, and you sigh. "I think I'll watch the stars a while longer. I can take myself up, thank you."He smiles. "Uhm. It was... It was fun." he says, taking a few steps away, then leaving. You sigh, slumping in the starlight."You've been doing well." says a voice directly behind you, making you jump. Soft and feminine, almost motherly. "He learns quickly. And he seems to've a shine to you." You look behind you, and yellow eyes shine in the darkness."R-raev." you manage. "Rikard has much to say about you." she says, seating herself on a stone nearby. >Like what?>I'm honored, milady.>I'm not sure I like him talking like that behind my back.>How is he?>I, uh, can't dance right now, sorry.
>>30110979>>I'm honored, milady.>How is he?
>>30110979>I'm honored, milady.>How is he?
>>30110979>>I'm honored, milady.>>How is he?>>I, uh, can't dance right now, sorry.
>>30110979>>I'm honored, milady.>How is he?>I, uh, can't dance right now, sorry.
>>30110979>I'm honored, milady.>I'm, not sure how to feel about him talking about me behind my back, but I suppose it's mostly my fault for not spending enough time in his company to know what sort of things he's been saying.
>>30110979>I'm honored, milady.>How is he?Ask if Rikard's massages are as good as we've heard they are. And thank her for giving us her blessing on our travels.
>>30110979...what's the protocol for having an audience with Raev? Should we be bowing, disrobing or something completely different?
>>30111129We're already sitting down, and somewhat injured, so getting up and bowing seems silly, and we aren't praying to her, so we don't need to disrobe.Treat her like a friend, not too formal, and listen to her advice, she knows what she's talking about.
>>30111006>>30111022>>30111062>>30111091>>30111115"I'm honored by your visit, how is he?""He is... Quiet. Lonely. His murder is very small.""...""Er. The mortal term would be 'flock', I suppose." she grumbles."Thank you for your blessing." you nod. "It was nothing. Preserving art is a small favour. Would that you were of the right mind to bless... Properly. But, alas, you are rather... heh, not in that state." she says. I have come to you with a warning." "What warning?""Fates converge upon tomorrow and the next few days. They are... important. They may not seem so. But I can gaurentee you - you will want to be careful what you do.">What do you mean, proper blessing?>What do you mean, fates?>He's lonely? But doesn't he have you?>Writein

>>30111249>What do mean, fates?>What do you mean, proper blessing?In that order.
>>30111291>>30111332>>30111349"Proper blessing?""You aren't into women." she says flatly. "O-oh." you manage, flushing, and she smiles, kissing your forehead as she passes. "I'll... Try to find some time to visit him." "That would be most kind." she says. "What fates? Is Micheal in danger?""I..." she looks around. "I cannot say in exactitude. Only that it is not of the nature you likely fear. More of a... Splitting point. You must be careful of what you do, and consider your options when they are presented. Lest something only Law desires comes to pass." she says softly. Then her eyes go a little wide. "Aaaah! I said too much!" she says nervously. You've never seen a Goddess this flustered. "Just... be careful." she says. "Please." ...Is her skin fading from black to more... human colors? She leaves the courtyard in a hurry, long black hair trailing. You raise an eyebrow as you lean back, then wheel yourself back to your room, transferring to bed. What a day...
>>30111478>More of a... Splitting point.I don't want to say it, but route lock?
===END OF THREAD===
>>30111528AG says it's not a route lock. He despises the term.
>>30111553Thank fuck.
>>30111478>"You aren't into women." she says flatly.Wasn't Annelin's original sexuality listed as slightly bisexual, but far more into men, and it would take one hell of a woman to interest her.I don't know that you can get much more of an impressive woman than the goddess of forbidden love...
Good thread
>>30111530Good thread, Avalons. Hope to see you soon.
>>30111603Fairly soon. Expect another thread somewhere around the 11th.And thanks for sticking with this quest and with AG.
>>30111591This. Apparently Raev doesn't realize she qualifies as a Hell of a woman.
>>30111530that was fun >>30111591i think it'd be more about a girl who can fight better than us and totally isn't a tomboy/reverse trap >>30111682>And thanks for sticking with this quest and with AG.tell you what, you could be the new pope, mecha hitler MK5 or dio, i don't really care as i enjoy the quest.
>>30111682As long as AG keeps this quest free of his alter-ego's drama, I'm happy to just carry on as before.
>>30111591Maybe she doesn't want to mess up the budding romance she sees going on. Even /u/boats respect the straight ship from time to time.
>>30111682As long as we don't get cameos from the quest he based this on I'll be happy.
>>30111781Same. Though I would advise him to stay away from the IRC in general. That place seems to bring out the worst in him.
>>30111819/u/boats respect nothing but their own lesbian assimilation programs.Still, I don't think anyone was suggesting we try and turn Raev into Annelin's divine waifu. Just, you know, earn a blessing in holy sexy communion with a goddess that Annelin respects.
>>30111742>Michael is actually a womanI think we would have noticed Anon. Though I admit it would make some sense...
>>30111900Maybe we will dance together one day, but anything more than that and she needs to buy us a drink first.
So who may bless us? Coyo? Fucker may do it just because.
So, when are we going to read the letters Teel sent?
