“We could just get out now, couldn’t we? Live inside the Annihilation Walls like everyone else. UNAAF certainly wouldn’t like it though,” she said as she tilted her head back to look at you. She was relaxed somehow.

You smirked and took your hand off her, placing it on the metal of the car. With half a thought, you shot the car with enough electricity to bounce the suspension and send Lauren flying through the air with a short squeak, and onto your lap. “Yeah, but what are they going to say?” you asked, wrapping your arms around her waist. “I tamed the fucking Dragon. There is literally nothing they can do to hurt me.”

“Then let’s do it. When you get back from your next mission, let’s retire. Transplant or no.”

“You know I can’t do that. I’m their last weapon against the alpha demons. I’m not just protecting you,” you said, pressing your chin into the side of her neck. The stubble on your chin was scratchy, but you knew she liked it.

The car finally started to slow, and you could hear the static noise of life. Most of the hospital was automated anymore, but there was still a staff of a few dozen nurses alongside the patients. Their souls shone like beacons through the stone, but even that was overpowered by the machinery

“Then after the Annihilation Wall is finished. What good is a wall if we can’t hide behind it for a little while?” she asked. You smiled. Her hair always smelled like that flowering vine you found in the wastes and brought back to her. An appropriate smell.

“Sure, I’ll make it happen,” you said as the car finally stopped.

“Good. I’m tired of the military life. We need to do something fun. Like, I don’t even know what, but we’ll figure something out other than VR sims. Maybe like, surfing, or something weird like that,” she said as she slid out of your arms and off your lap to exit the car.

You laughed. “I don’t think they can make a board able to keep me afloat, and not break in half when I step on it,” you said as you pulled yourself out of the car behind her.

“Oh, what’s this? The great and powerful Josh will be bested by water?”

“Well, I could just levitate the whole time, but I don’t think you’d call that surfing.” The two of you enter the hospital laughing, but the nervous knot in your gut returns when you start walking towards your private room to speak with the AI and get Lauren’s lab results.

When the two of you stop in front of the private terminal, Lauren elbows you in the side. “Lighten up or Lyrra will think you’re dying. Remember that time we ran into Victoria? She thought you were having a heart attack.”

“You mean the time she started hitting on you and you were just like ‘yeah okay, sounds good’ wink?” you ask, imitating her voice almost perfectly thanks to Scath’s genes.

“Yeah that time. You totally killed the mood when you had to start fighting off the orderly drones. Well, maybe not for her.”

“I know she’s part me, but she’s still my ex.”

“Then I don’t get why you had the problem with it,” she said, elbowing you again.

“Greetings Director Thirteen, Subject Thirteen,” the AI Lyrra said as she woke up on the monitor.

“Good morning Lyrra, how have you been since I last checked on you? Are those engineers giving you enough processing space?” Lauren asked. She had been the primary developer for the AI, why she was promoted all the way to director. The AI had started as just a pet project with stolen data, but quickly swelled till it was capable of running half the world’s machines.

“It has been exceedingly difficult to estimate the growth of my heuristically generated subroutines to increase my efficiency, but they are doing their best,” Lyrra responded. “But you are here for your test results about whether you are eligible for the transplant of the Transdifferentiation Organ,” Lyrra said before pausing, and staying silent. Lauren quietly entwined her fingers in yours. “I’m sorry,” it finally said. Your heart dropped and you’re sure it probably triggered more than a few medical alerts. Your grip on her tightened while hers went lax.

“But your test results have been sealed, by a director order.” Adrenaline flooded your system as your thoughts tripled in speed, running through dozens of scenarios that would cause them to seal her report, and overwhelmingly you already knew what that meant.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean,” you roared as you grabbed the monitor and ripped it from the wall to hold in front of you. Lauren was just standing in shock, but you couldn’t help but reply with force.

“I’m sorry Subject Thirteen, but you lack the clearance to override a director’s order,” Lyrra said, the damaged connection making her voice drawn out and staticy.

“Lauren, you can do something about this, can’t you?” you asked, your attention wheeling over to her and dropping the monitor to the ground.

“Directors can’t override each other. If they don’t want us to know, we’re not going to find out, which means the test came back negative,” she explained as you dropped the broken device to the ground. She was standing strong, but tears were beading up in her eyes. You grabbed her and pulled her tight as you began to cry. “Looks like I’m going to die before you after all.”

As she pressed her face into your chest and cried, you dried your tears. She was clutching your shirt, digging her nails into you as she held on. You scowled at Lyrra’s avatar, and drove your foot through the monitor. There had to be something you could do for her. You just needed a plan, and you knew exactly who could help you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are Joshua Thirteen, UNAAF Special Forces Division Seven. A soldier of the highest degree, and have been fighting the war against the demons for the past eighty years. You were winning the battles, but losing the war. Even in the horrors of war, you built a life for yourself with a woman, Lauren, whom you had saved. But humanity was betrayed, you were betrayed. When you recovered, you found yourself in an unprecedented world, a backwards world living in fear of the demons you very nearly triumphed against.

But the strange world you’ve found yourself in is not without allies. The Dragon slumbers nearby. Your lesser demons seem to be scattered around the capitol city of Lyr, though they are resisting your contracts with them. You were just reunited with your younger sister Alice, another child of Special Forces Division Six, and she’s as energetic as always. And if anyone could survive the betrayal that incapacitated you, it would be your brother Matthew, he is surely somewhere in this country, waiting for you to find him.

You had just regained a portion of your great strength, the part held by your magpie, when you had to chase the creature down, lest it return to be slaughtered by the palace. When you arrived over the castle walls though, you didn’t encounter guards, or the political elite, or anyone you expected at all. You found Victoria, you vampire who seemed very happy to have the chance to beat the last of her power out of you.

"Listen, Victoria, I've had a rough day. And I'm planning on doing a bit of...spring cleaning around here. So I'll make you a deal...you return your power, and I will bring you, alive, one person of your choosing so long as it's not someone I already know. You know me, and you know I'll honor my word."

>>31687527

Probably, yeah...that would be useful.

My penis."

Okay, okay
> Stay on the defensive
"Is there anything I can do to avert this demise?"

>>31687592
lets see how well I can sum this up.

Two things are important when it comes to the difference between Vampire and Human. The Transdifferentiation Organ, and their poison. Their saliva contains a very peculiar macro-protein structure that science hasn't had the luxury of studying the mechanics of. When they bite you, they will often drain you of enough blood to make you woozy, although this isn't to feed them, they can eat just like a normal person if need be. They drain your blood to make you light headed, and thin your blood to let their poison flow up to the brain easily. There, it will usually deposit along the ocular nerve.

This then allows the vampire to impress their will on the victim, order them to do various tasks, but nothing obscene such as suicide or murder of a friend.

After enough times feeding on a single victim however, enough poison will accumulate in them to render them into a ghoul, a person incapable of freeing themselves of the vampire's will.

On top of this, they are faster, stronger, and have reflexes simply unimaginable by human standards.

True to the old stories however, men of faith have been reported to repel them with their holy symbols, but according to the Dragon, that is merely due to their own force of will bolstered by their false beliefs, nothing inherent in their creeds.

They don't have a particular weakness to sunlight, but it breaks the poison down rapidly.

Questions?

>>31687596
Yes of course. Why wouldn't I?

>>31687763
What does the transdifferentiation organ do?

>>31687815
It reverses cellular aging periodically to render the individual immortal. Like the jellyfish.

>>31687395
>>Other

>>31687832

uhm... can they have childs with normal humans ?

>>31687947
I'll vote for this, if possible.

Nothing like a bit of panic to wrest power from an unwilling subordinate

>>31687986
They're sterile. There were only so many of them born when the Dragon emerged, and they've been dying off ever since. That's why they had to defect to the human side of the war.

The closest they can get to making a new vampire is making a contract with a human, and that rarely transfers over the mind control.

Sorry for the delay, finals and all. I feel bad taking a revote that only got one post when the first vote got quite a bit more.

Regardless, please give me a d100 to determine your current footing with GRD

“Nice to see you too Victoria. You haven’t aged at all,” you say as she walks over to the edge of the guard tower roof. She smiles and casually retrieves two blades from behind her back. Small things, expertly forged. They certainly wouldn’t be able to do anything to your sword, but you don’t have it and she has the strength to slice your limbs off if you aren’t careful.

“How nice of you to say you old bastard. You must be jealous that I still look good while you aged as well as dog,” she responds. She crouches down just a little, her toes just barely over the edge. Anyone else would think she was just going to drop down, but you’re already jumping back by the time she pushes off. The force of her leap rips half the roof off the tower roof, but you’re well clear when she lands where you had been a moment before.

“At least guys can look good older. Older women though?” you say, making a grunt of disgust.

“Good to hear you telling the truth again, because that’s totally not what you told Lauren. You went on and on about how you’d love her till the day she died. You made a lot of shitty promises back then, didn’t you?” Victoria asks as she starts walking towards you.

Glancing down at the courtyard, you can hear a few servants and guards shouting in surprise as the debris lands below, but they shouldn’t be a problem for you. Dealing with Victoria is your issue now, and you don’t have enough strength, in body or hand.

“I need your strength GRD,” you command as you invoke the seal on your chest and drag his consciousness to the surface.

The fungus is fully alert, enough to make his previous conversations seem groggy. “She’s not going to kill you until you relinquish her power. If you die, her power goes with it. But that doesn’t mean you can lose the fight. There’s no way I’m going to suffer through healing torture.”

“Then I have your aid?”

“Temporarily, but we’re cutting a deal while we do this,” he answers as you feel part of his power start to return to your body, but it won’t be enough. You draw the sword that Cyn gave you. It can’t withstand much combat, but it’s better than nothing.

>>31688498
You fully remember your time with Victoria. She only contracted with you because she liked you and the two of you were kind of sort of dating, when neither of you were on suicide missions. This was before you met your wife.

That aside, she's probably referencing the fact that you fucked off in the drink for a century without relinquishing her power.

“No, there will be no God damned deal,” you growl as you grit your teeth and slice your chest open above GRD’s seal. Victoria immediately recognizes what you’re doing as you invoke the will of your soul. GRD howls as you reach out and grab onto his soul, ripping and tearing it from this blackened tentacles.

Victoria dashes forward, pressing the attack as much as she can. But you’ve already gotten hold of most of GRD’s power, and the wall gives you a long distance to retreat along. The clash of steel bounces around the palace as she chases you down, slicing apart the concrete. But you can only afford to keep some of your attention on her. Every few slices, one of them gets through and cuts.

Your blackening blood splashes out, and the fungus explodes through your wounds to spread to the air. You can feel his creeping mycelium forcing its way around your body, searching for a way to fight back, but his will is naught, and his power is yours.

With all of his strength at your disposal once more, you stop your retreat. Victoria continues the attack, but you manage to catch one of her blades with your sword, and grab her other wrist with your offhand. The two of you lock against each other, barely a foot away, with your feet breaking through the concrete in your attempts to overpower each other.

“Doesn’t this bring back memories?” she says.

“It’s been a while, but yeah. I won that fight as I recall.”

“You had three more demons back then.”

“And you had all of your power.”

“Better days.”

“Dante wanted to kill me as I recall.”

“Why do you think I slept with you?” she asks, smirking.

>>31689580
Silver-Tongued was trying to argue that she'd be more helpful post orgasm
Frank said "get a smutfag on that and we'll talk"

Frank is a whore for fan content. I doubt he was being sarcastic.

Some observations I've made. First, most noticable to me: Lauren was the crucial actor in making Lyrra. Obviously Lyrra Lyr blah blah blah but that's not what I found interesting.

At the base we found Lauren in, the AI was totally fucked up. Couldn't render, couldn't talk, was the reason why HQ couldn't connect to the site. Now, while the first reaction would be to assume that the Animator demon was responsible, that doesn't really make sense.

If it had enough presence in the base to damage but not destroy its AI, which is probably more particular than just breaking it, surely it could steal the Compass. Not only that, but leaving the AI alone benefits it. If HQ was able to look at the site they would see that the Compass was still there. This would make retrieving it an even higher priority, people would be sent there sooner, the Demon would get its chance sooner.

Similarly, the researchers would have no reason to damage the AI either for that very reason. But something must have. With these things in mind, let's consider that Lauren snuck up on us right by the AI Core. Hmm.

Then there's the stuff with the organ report. Now, this doesn't make sense. Lauren is blocked out from a report by the AI she built? What sort of enterprising young AI dude lets that happen? Sounds like bullshit to me. So that's a lot of suspicious stuff surrounding Lauren.

>>31689686
Bravo.

You'd have more answers to this if I had continued the flashback. I'll have to do that eventually.

But I kind of doubt the thread you're pulling on leads where you think it does.

>>31689535
>>31689609
If there was smut, what would happen, exactly? We talking angry hate-fucking, flashback, what?

“What the hell happened? I spend a century regenerating after someone blows my brains out, and the world is back in the stone age?” you ask as you hold her back. Speed was always her specialty, not brute strength. But there’s still enough force between the two of you that you can feel the guard on your blade cracking.

“You can blame Lyrra for that. She figured things’d be more stable this way,” Victoria answers, but her breath is strained.

“So what the hell happened to HQ? And me? Where the hell were you?”

“I was away. You sent me away just before it happened. I should be asking you what the hell happened. Half my kin died in that gas attack.”

You furrow your brow a think for a moment. You can tell that she’s trying to figure a way out of this stalemate, but you’re certain she’s telling the truth about the attack. Which means you knew about the attack before it happened, so the betrayal must have started sooner.

Then the guard starts to crack more, and you put the thoughts aside for the moment. With a quick jerk, you push both blades away, snapping the guard in half. As her blade breaks through, you pull back abruptly. Her eyes go wide as she falls forward. Her blade slices through a good deal of your bicep, but you’ll be able to heal that.

As she falls into your bloody arms, you quickly wrap your free arm around her, pinning her arm to her side and pulling her in close. And then it’s just like dancing as you gently grab her, pull her in for a kiss, and twirl her around, flaring her hair through the air. She’s far too surprised to react, let alone return he kiss properly. You come to a stop when you press her up against the crenellation. Her blade in the air falls out of her hand when she hits the stone, even though you made sure to keep most of the impact on your arm.

You pull back just a bit, grinning. Her mouth is agape, and she’s blushing.

Yeah, my bad, I skimmed and thought you were talking about 3d100 best of

“My, you haven’t acted like this since you met Lauren. I guess you regenerated your spine and all those whip scars,” Victoria says as you eye the blade still pressed against your chest. Getting out of this position without taking that through a rib will be tricky.

“You do what you do when a girl likes it rough,” you respond as you work your blade across her back to control where it will fall.

“Aw, how romantic of you. You’re just working so hard to endear yourself to me, I understand I really do. We should totally have make up sex. It’s been so long,” she says, pouting her lips just a bit.

You roll your eyes and take a deep breath. You yank her off the wall, dropping your blade on the ground to grab her arm. But as your slide your arm along her back, you notice a third blade hidden beneath a thin hood hanging from her back. AS you fumble about, trying to pin her arms properly, you see her drop the large blade. An instant later she has the third blade buried in your lung, but you have her pinned and bent over the adjacent crenel. You can feel the blood filling your lung, and you gasp out a painful breath before sealing the wound as best you can.

“How long do you think you can keep this up? I know stamina was your forte and all, but come on,” Victoria asks as she simply lets you press her against the concrete, her arms twisted around behind her back, and you can see your blood dripping down onto her. It will be a while before you fully recover from this.

I remember those post now that brought them up. I actually took part in that discussions.

“Look, I really wish we could have just talked this out and come to an agreement, instead of this,” you say as you glance around. The guards are lighting lanterns and looking for you by now. You can’t stay here forever.

“You want to talk? Give me all of my power back, right now,” Victoria states before she kicks your foot as hard as she can. It hurts, but not enough to make you flinch.

“You know I can’t let you do that. I need this power. I have to keep fighting, at least until I kill whoever betrayed me.”

“You’re not going to, I can assure you of that,” she says quietly. “Whatever you’re going to do, be quick about it or the guards are going to think we’re having sex over the side of the wall.”

“And why won’t I?” you ask, leaning over her to growl into her ear.

“Because,” she says, looking at you from the corner of her eye. “You’re still alive. They didn’t finish the job. If they didn’t have a plan to deal with you, they would have burned every cell in your body rather than let you regenerate for a century. You’re just a pawn. You always have been, and always will. Now let me go.”

You scowl and pull back. “Time for a promotion,” you state before releasing one of her arms and driving your elbow into the back of her skull. A twist with your other hand snaps her right arm in half. She screams in pain and twists around to try to kick you away as you rip the blade from you lung. Before she can plant her feet on you, you slam it through her sternum.

She stares at you blankly, blood dripping down her chest before sliding off onto the stone. She won’t be able to pursue you in this condition, and it probably won’t kill her. You can hear the guards shouting, seems that they’ve caught sight of your battle.

>Grab your magpie and flee
>Leave both of the demons and flee
>Disable the guards
>Take her with you
>Say something
>Other

I'm not against a little 300 year old loli notIncest. Shes an adult a healthy sex drive is to be expected.

>>31691677
It might be better to take her with us while she's weak and finish dealing with her. Leaving her behind will just give her time to regroup and plan. Take the magpie too, assuming we don't have to carry it or something.

>>31691677
>>Take her with you

So a question here - can we give her power back without killing ourselves?

Leave both of them and flee, she wont kill the magpie. It would kill us and in turn screw her over as well.

>>31691738
The magpie isn't going to kill you. Mostly because it's physically incapable of doing so.

>>31691730
Yes, but she's 15% of your raw power, and provides a slew of combat necessary abilities.

>>31691677
>>Leave both of the demons and flee

She'll probably take better care of the bird than us anyway.

>>31691677
the only person we'll have a hard time to kill (not physically) hmm... i guess we all guessed it...

>Take her with you

>>31691761
>>31691738

OH, I understand what you meant now. Yes, she isn't going to kill the magpie and by extension you

>>31691677
>Grab them both and flee.
>Leave them somewhere noone will see until she wakes up

>Grab them both and flee.
if we leave the magpie alone they are probably going to kill it.

>>31691761
I was ok with overpowering GRD cause it was essentially an evil id version of ourselves. The magpie was little more than an animal. She is a person, who apparently gave us this power voluntarily and was allied to our cause. She has legitimate complaints against us. I'd vote to give her the power back.

If it's absolutely necessary for survival, try to convince her to enter a contract with us again.

>>31691884
Why would they kill it?

>>31691898
i dont really care for power, but we need our memories back and figure out who is the betrayer before it's too late.

Vote is to take her with you, and grab the magpie

>>31691933
Advisor Orion wasn't very happy about it being alive.

>>31692028
naaah

>>31692042
Because they are between you and the magpie. They don't stand a chance of beating you in a fight, but unless you kill them all, they stand a good chance of seeing you and reporting you.

So, how much power do we get from the vampire right now? Seeing as we've just beaten her, we should be able to force her to give us the full power right?

>>31692157
You are getting 0 power from her at the moment.

>>31692194
Well then we can force her right now? This should be ideal. Our whole deal with her was us beating her and forcing her to give power. We have a perfect chance right now.

>>31692238
No, that was your deal with your marauder. You proved yourself to her, circumstantially seduced her to an extent, presented a reasonable argument, and offered a fair deal to her.

But you could force her, yes.

>>31692194
I we're getting no power then why is she complaining?

>>31692303
The power tied up in creating the contract, also the effort of keeping the power from sliding back to you. Presumably.

>>31692296
Let's get our power from her now then. Once we get away from the human guards. This is a great oppportunity. We need that power.

>>31692386
Does she have to be conscious to give us her power?

“Come on, I have questions for you, so I’m not going to just leave you here,” you say as you gather up the dropped blades, sheathing your own and stuffing hers in the back of your belt.

“I should have known better than to think I would be able to keep this top,” Victoria says as you gently lift her by her good arm and tuck her broken one atop her chest. You look her up and down. Her top is some kind of soft wool cotton blend and cut to be something similar to a sleeveless hoodie. You hadn’t paid it much mind, but it does seem rather anathema to the current fashion. And you put a bloody knife straight through it.

“Sorry. But you did kind of attack me,” you say as you lift her up and turn back towards the magpie.

“Wouldn’t have been such a bad idea, but you did two unbelievable things mid fight, and it turned out like this,” she says as she wraps her arm around your shoulders to support herself a bit.

“When don’t I do unbelievable things mid fight? Isn’t that like my specialty by now?” you ask as you jump up atop the crenellations and start running towards the guard tower with the magpie still atop it.

“I suppose it is. A century without seeing you and I must have forgotten,” she says as she painfully adjusts her broken arm. You frown and try to smooth your running more for her.

A moment later, the guards spot you. A group of four of them were moving along the top of the wall, searching for you with their lanterns. “The vampire! The vampire has been defeated!” one of them shouts as you run past them. “Protect the Queen!” he bellows out as you leap up to the top of the guard tower.

“What the hell are they talking about?” you ask as you kick the bird.

It lazily flaps up and lands on your back, hanging like a sloth. “I have a bit of a reputation around here, and you’re an outsider. What do you think they’re talking about?” Victoria responds and you jump down to the city below.

>>31692438
No. Our fungus was basically just that, a fungus and we still got power from it the first time.

>Take her back to Alice
>Take her to Henry
>Take her somewhere
>Say something

>>31692438
Yes.

>>31692521
GRD had no consciousness to resist with. An unconscious person still has one, and will instinctively resist.

>>31692541
>GRD had no consciousness to resist with. An unconscious person still has one, and will instinctively resist.
That doesn't mean she should be concious for us to take power. Just that she can resist even when unconcious.

>>31692541
>>Take her somewhere
Abandoned warehouse.
Or a regular warehouse.

>>31692541
>Take her somewhere
Just somewhere with noone around. Shouldn't be hard to find in the city at night.
Definitely do not bring her to the others.

>>31692541
Let's take her back to Alice, two on one is much better odds when she recovers.

>>31692541
>>Take her somewhere

>>31692541

>>31692541
>Say something
"I heard that Matt is still around, do you know anything about it ?"

>>31692666
Alice is the eternal loli sister. You are mistaking her with Cyn.

>>31692666
Alice's greeting when she met you destroyed half a building. She's still a child of Division Six, prepubescent or not. Solo she'd get wrecked, but she wouldn't get in your way, and would indeed be quite helpful in a fight.

>>31692762
Don't take her to the others. We need to talk and sort it out with her alone. Also we need to ask her about Alice too, what she has been doing this past century.

Okay, the vote is to take her somewhere secluded

But I frankly don't understand what you're trying to accomplish by this. You'll have to explain. She does need medical treatment of some form, she doesn't have a GRD colony in her to regenerate her, she's just a hard to kill demon.

>>31692876
can't we heal her using ours?

>>31692896
That's possible, but that wasn't in your plan originally.

New to this quest and didn't see additional info. Guessing this fungus heals us?

>>31692876
goals:
heal her
negotiate for power, possibly return it if negotiations fail

>>31693041
Pretty much. I really need to clean up my notes and post a character sheet.

>>31693088
And you're doing this solo, because?

>>31692876
>>31692917
Negotiate with her again. Also ask her what our friends (Alice and Matt) have been doing in the last century. After that we can take her to somewhere for treatment. Don try to heal her with GRD because we are likely to fuck it up. because dice

>>31693088
>possibly return it
no

>>31693153
guess we'll see who votes where when the situations comes up

>>31693106
Solo beacuse... privacy.

Well, writing the last update of the night then.

>>31693106
>And you're doing this solo, because?
Because we are alone. I want to ask her about the others and can't do that when others are there.

>>31692876
I do have to ask, why did you include that option if it made no sense to you?

>>31693292
I will often include options that are possible to take, but I don't expect you to actually take, such as Push Your Luck

Also, I believe some anons where proposing it before I posted the options

“Where are you planning to take me?” she asks as start running down alleys, looking for somewhere secluded.

“Somewhere we can talk,” you respond, before a spasm in your side reminds you that one of your lungs is a pool of blood. You wince and slow to a walk.

“Can you even talk? I drove that knife pretty deep. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t sever anything important other than your lung,” she responds as you choose a derelict shop. When you step inside the smell of narcotics and tar fill your nose, but as far as you can tell, no one else is in the building. Just an out of use drug den.

“I’ll heal, but I’m going to need some food. It’s a pain in the ass to get good food anymore,” you respond as you let your magpie climb down from your back and curl up in a corner.

“Not for the nobility. We can dine on enough fatty meat to kill us, if we want to,” Victoria says as you carefully put her down on the ground. She’s lost a lot of blood, her arm will have to be reset, and you’re sure that you concussed her. She needs some kind of treatment.

“So you’re nobility now?”

“Something like that yeah. Now are you going to treat me or not?”

“We need to talk about our contract before I do that. And there’s something else I want to know first,” you respond.

She looks over at you. She’s had a hint of a smile this whole time, until now. “That’s cold.”

“I was betrayed. Now, tell me what Alice and Matt have been up to while I was gone.”

And that's thread. Hope you enjoyed. Next thread might be Wednesday?

>>31693763

Probably not, all of Fronk's characters speak with the same voice.

>>31693795
I believe you are objectively wrong.

Oh god someone refute him

>>31693740

I'm not sure how to better explain it. You make requests of the players or ask questions to them which aren't really necessary. Not in a, 'this is an unrealistic expectation' sense but in a 'the requested stuff will happen anyways if it's going to.' Like trying to force something instead of letting it happen naturally. Makes your position seem weaker. Probably a poor explanation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the quest. I like the writing and world building. Lots of questions to be answered and the resolution could be fun.

>>31693853
yeah, that explanation didn't clarify anything at all.

So, Lauren is dead as hell, especially considering the OP image

Tough, Frank. Looks like you're a hack after all.

I'm just fuckin' with you, man.

>>31694103
I know it's a common insult to throw at QMs, and that's all it was. But it's a common insult because most shitty writers fall prey to it.

And I don't have much confidence in unedited writing.

So it'd be really nice if someone other than you said that no, I'm not fucking everything up. But even then, I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to be compared to his peers, but to professionals. and continuing in the fashion is a cycle of shit.

And yeah.

>>31694199

>>31694387

Can't you talk about waifus, or shadowruns, or the fact that Lucian probably tried to get in Alice's pants, or the dozen things I slipped into the opening story?

Or specific criticisms.

>>31694440
Waifus: eh. I don't feel that I have enough information at the moment. I guess turboslut imouto seems good for a tumble.

Shadowruns: I no longer pay enough attention to quests to properly get involved in shadowruns.

Lucian probably tried to get into Alice's pants: see above.

Dozen things you slipped into the opening story: see above.

>>31694519

>>31694440

>>31694714
Last time you checked, no.

>>31694440
>waifus
the stupid part of me wants to stay faithful to Lauren
>shadowruns
Lauren is behind everything somehow, or she was just a pawn from the start probably more like the second one, whatever hit us didn't really want to kill us, that whole "classified so negative" thing could be a way for some people to manipulate her
>lucian trying to get into Alice's pants
ha! he can have fun, or at least try at his own risks

>>31694796
Same kinda thing for me as this guy >>31694519
But I'm more just interested in just reading the story. So waifus don't matter to me, neither does lucian trying to get into Alice's pants. Loved the shit you slipped into the opening though. It was quite well done and I definitely enjoyed it. I just don't post an awful lot.

So, if Frank was that guy in qtg, he seems to be failing to get the giant waifu shitstorm he wants because none of us care about waifus, we'd all be fine with casual sex with any of them.

What would he have to do at this point to achieve that giant shitnado?

>>31695299
>What would he have to do at this point to achieve that giant shitnado?
Have it look like we can get all the waifus we want at the same time if we work hard, then let us collect them into a harem that has good chemistry and looks to be full of people who generally like each other, then destroy it completely in the style of MHQ.

>>31696002
Duly noted

>>31698080
was >>31695299 you? it definitely was, wasn't it. how that must rankle, to only want to stir up shitstorms among your players, and yet you can't because they don't care enough to sperg out.

Man, I was really hoping a smutfriend would come through on this one. Surely we've gotten enough characterization for something satisfying by now, no?

It doesn't matter terribly much, but I'm going to confirm that Immortal is canon with EDEN, in fact Lyr is built on the buried infrastructure of EDEN after the intended resolution of that plot.

Don't be confused if I start referring to the tunnels as Epsilon and Gamma

Also, I'm predicting at some point I'm going to slip and write Rikku instead of Victoria, she had her planning name for a while and it's kind of stuck in my head.
