can we, like, get a breakdown of your motivations for trying to do in your boss and his buddies between your own personal standing in the local rankings, fear of us and the Hallows tearing you a new one, and protecting whatever you've got going on with Mav?

Also: she know what you are?

"What? Moriah's not un-friend-haveable or something. She's a whole hell of a lot better than you, and you have friends. Or at least you have 'people you haven't yet discovered how to kill' or whatever the fuck it was you said friends are."

I thought it was included under knifeplay in the 'damn I'm good'-tier.

>>32876977
>>She was wearing a pentagram shirt and I was like, yeah! I am the demons!

>>32877197
I like this one, breddy gud.

>>32877243
There will be some overlap with dexterity, strength and close in fighting skills, but knife fighting and sword fighting are still extremely different in terms of technique.

>>32877243
We're passable with swords now, on part with our gunplay. Languid must have just updated the pastebin.

>>32877296
I don't think it's even knife fighting, it's just twirling the knife around and stabbing the table between her fingers and stuff.

I wonder if the entire Crowther family knows about supernatural stuff or if it's just the dad.

>>32877326
Well, shanking is definitely included in that, according to the first two threads.

>>32877336
I dunno, but I'd be surprised if papaC doesn't know something's up with Sierra. He has to know who the Hallows are and Wolfgang probably said which house he dropped Sierra off at.

>>32877336
What are our thoughts about him at the moment? My tentative working theory is that he's a landmaster or something similar, based on the "this house is the treasure" thing. It implies either it or the location it stands on is of fundamental importance.

>>32877362
Figuring out how much he knows about us is a good idea. Best route is probably to ask Isaac what he's told anyone about us. We don't know how common abilities to detect glamours, PP, HP etc. are so we can't really guess at whether we've been made by Mr. Crowther.

>>32877401
I think he's just a mostly regular human who landed himself in a position of power with the system and knows some spells.

“Okay, not to start this whole coy BS stuff again, but I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours,” you say.

“Fair enough.”

You give Waldric the summary of your friendship with Moriah. “And that’s how the cookie crumbled,” you finish.

“Was that the short version?” asks Waldric. “Because I’ve been watching the clock, and you were talking for ten minutes straight. No input from me at all. I could have walked away, made a salad, and come back, and you would have been none the wiser.”

That kind of takes you off guard. You were just giving him the basics. Right? “Uh. Did you make a salad?”

“I wouldn’t have told you that whole thing if that’s exactly what I did,” says Waldric.

Unless that’s what he wanted you to think. You glower at nothing in particular. Phone conversations suck sometimes, because you like glaring at people. “Well whatever, it was an interesting story, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah. Funky teen drama. Thanks a lot.”

You give a brief, mean laugh. “Like your story’s going to be so much better. Let me guess. You saw her across the club. And where the hell does Maviel and her weirdo family fit in your friends are people who can’t kill you yet theory of social interaction, anyway?”

“In the demon world, you don’t waltz around broadcasting who you are and what you care about,” says Waldric, sounding impatient. “All I know about you is that everything you run into dies violently.”

>>32877597

You chuckle at the thought. “Not the kind of person you’d brag to about your girlfriend, I guess. So, how’d you meet her?”

There’s silence for a second.

“C’mon, I already spilled my guts,” you tease. “Don’t leave me hanging.”

He makes up his mind to talk. “It was at an art gallery,” he says. “I was looking at one of her paintings, and then there she was. And then we had an interesting conversation, and I got her number. The end.”

“Lame,” you say. “So I guess you love her and stuff? That’s kind of sweet.”

“Isn’t it?” Waldric replies blandly. “Not that you’d know what that’s like. Have you ever even been with anyone before?”

Your cheeks flush at the question, and you feel uncomfortably warm. (+4 Stress: 24/100)

>You mean like. Going out with somebody? Because.
>Pfft, yeah, like, yeah of course. What kind of question is that even?
>That’s a weird thing to ask a seventeen year old girl over the phone.

Y-yeah I've had the sex before. Doesn't everyone?

>>32877615
>That’s a weird thing to ask a seventeen year old girl over the phone.

>>32877615
Suddenly we hear on the other side of the phone
"oh my god Waldric you can't just ask people if they've had sex before!"

>>32877615
>Awkward silence.
>So uh... does Maviel know you're value demon?

>>32877597
>“All I know about you is that everything you run into dies violently.”
Honestly, that sounds like a pretty damn good reputation to have with the demons. Craziest motherfucker in the yard and all that.

>>32877615
Have she? I'd be surprised if Sierra never fucked anyone.

>>32877701
And that's how Sierra never went to the Crowfather residence again.

>>32877729
Well, judging from the less-than-legit choices and how she reacted to the question, I'd say no. But what do I know!

>>32877615
>That’s a weird thing to ask a seventeen year old girl over the phone.
>So uh… does Maviel know you’re a demon?

Let's try to wrap up this phone call. It's been dragging on.

>>32877615
>That’s a weird thing to ask a seventeen year old girl over the phone.
>So uh… does Maviel know you’re a demon?

Because if so it would really make game night a lot easier if we weren't trying to tiptoe around that particular elephant with at least one member of the Crowther family.

When we talk with Isaac about informing Dad Crowther, we should also ask him if we should text Wally here to brace for impact in the interests of preventing anybody doing something incredibly stupid.

“That’s a weird thing to ask a seventeen year old girl over the phone,” you say. “Are you hitting on me? Because you already have a girlfriend. Speaking of, does Maviel know you’re a demon?”

“That’s between me and Maviel,” Waldric says, sounding defensive.

“So. She doesn’t?” you ask.

“Did you hear me say those words?”

“So. She does?” you ask.

There’s a bark of laughter from the other end of the phone line. “Does Moriah know you’re hellborn?”

>That’s between me and Moriah.
>No, she doesn’t.
>I'll tell her when I tell her.
>In fact, yes, she does. [She does not]
>Enough chit chat, let’s get down to business.

>>32877615
>That’s a weird thing to ask a seventeen year old girl over the phone.

"Did you tell her or were you just planning on waiting until the babies started doing freaky shit before going 'SURPRISE!' ?"

Just be grateful that you have to ask, and inquire no further...

>>32878219
>inquire no further...

Fuck that, I want know as well.

>>32878219
Now I'm even more curious.
Tell me what that was about, please.

>>32878219
What are we talking about?

“Yeah, no? Because I’m not dating her?” you say. “And maybe I will tell her. It’s not like it’s the forbidden secret or anything. You’re the one with the intimate long-term relationship deal.”

“Me and Maviel have an understanding,” says Waldric. “Though, I’m sure you can see how this relationship complicates matters. I can’t exactly be Mr. Right when I’m under Meckor’s thumb.”

“So is that the real reason you want him dead?” you ask.

“A part of it at least,” he answers. “The other reasons I’ve told you are true enough. But there’s something else. I believe Meckor’s gone insane.”

A demon going insane. But Meckor sounded pretty damn evil to begin with. You don’t see how he can get worse if he’s already orchestrating human slavery rings, gang wars, and who knows what else. “What’s he done?”

>>32878262

“It’s what he’s going to do,” says Waldric. “Meckor was sent here to die. No one on the other side thought he would actually be able to subdue his fief. Meckor, though, decided to make the best of it. He knew the only way to take control of the territory was through subversion. If the populace didn’t realize he was in control, he would have free reign.”

“So… he decided to be a crime lord?” you ask.

“For starters. But he relied on Nabuth,” Waldric says. “And after that, Cordeliate. They understood how to pull the strings and make things work in the shadows. Meckor is a great leader, but he’s military. He’s not cut out for intrigue on this scale, not without resorting to overt force,” he explains. “Meckor’s lack of subtlety is how he wound up getting sent down here in the first place.”

Actually, all of those questions are valid. I'll just post by priority

>By the way, what is Meckor? Is he like, Infernus or what?
>What’s Meckor’s deal? What’s his story?
>Why does Meckor hate humans anyway?

>>32878282
>What’s Meckor’s deal? What’s his story?
>Why does Meckor hate humans anyway?

>>32878282
>Well what's Meckor's plan now that everybody important to the old one was dead?

>>32878303
This seems like a reasonable prioritisation. Some could probably be sort-of-merged together, I suppose; what he is kind of relates to his plans, and the reason for hating humans is guaranteed a part of his story.

>>32878282
>By the way, what is Meckor? Is he like, Infernus or what?

>>32878282
>Well what’s Meckor’s plan now that everybody important to the old one is dead?

>>32878282

I can't imagine he plans to rely on RANTHIX THE TERRIBLE.

>>32878480
We sure as fuck did. We've been carving a bloody swathe through Meckor's empire.

>>32878535
I think it's about time we start picking up his business trailings for ourselves.

>>32878568
Eh. He seems to be into some pretty fucked up shit, based on what we saw on the Cordeliate hit. Some of his tamer holdings, though, might be solid leads to toss back to the Bloods. It's never a bad idea to have an organized crime faction liking you.

“Before we get too deep into this,” you say, “what is Meckor even? Is he like, Infernus or…?”

“He’s part Infernus, part Hellion. I’m not quite sure on the exact composition - I didn’t have much time to learn about him before I was compelled to go to Terra. I was kept quite busy at the time,” Waldric says, sounding a little distant.

You have no idea what a Hellion is, but you figure you can find out later. Anyway, if he can’t be subtle, what could he possibly be doing instead? “Well, what’s Meckor’s big brand new plan now that everyone important to the old one is dead?” you ask.

Waldric’s reply is short. “He’s staging an invasion.”

“That… how’s that work?” you ask. You can’t even fathom.

“It doesn’t,” Waldric informs you. “That’s how I know he’s gone insane. If we don’t stop him, everyone is going to die. Not everyone everyone, but the body count would easily be in the tens of thousands.”

>How do you respond?
I’ll be back in an hour. Hopefully less. I’ll keep you informed.

>>32878639
We'll need to get Isaac in on this conversation pretty sharply, or we're never going to stop this before everything goes to shit. Yeah, yeah, demonbane kill demons, but if you're really on the level about all this the worst you have to fear is world-class cold stares interspersed with merciless ribbing over when we can expect your little sparkly babies with Mav.

Probably time to start walking back and getting Ro to call her dad.

>>32878902
Could always ask why he thinks his fear of demonbane is justified...

>>32878639
Isn't that something you should have mentioned sooner?

>>32878961
Somewhat justified prejudice?

Most demons seem to have powers that lend themselves well to violence and manipulation, and many appear to have underlying aggression that makes it easy for them to go bad. Put them in a society of similar individuals that is already in full backstabbing bastard mode, and they will pretty much all turn out as assholes though some will be able to rise above it. Meanwhile, angels have powers and temperaments that tend to push things the other way, and so naturally loathe and fight most demons. With both sides more or less constantly at odds with one another, they aren't really going to have anything other than their own internal propaganda with a light smattering of genuine information as an image of each other.

>>32879040
We just need to start integration programs so they can adjust to our society.

>>32878639
Keep us informed. Il notify the Hallows. Should the Crowthers be informed via Hallows or by other means?

>>32879126
After that you'd start blaming humans for discriminating against them when their ghettos turn into hell on earth...

>>32879138
This is pretty damn important. It warrants trying to get Isaac and Waldric to talk to each other as soon as possible, at least by phone.

>>32879008
As far as he knew, we operate just like most demons. He would have been worried that we'd just try to use it to our advantage and somehow hurt his girlfriend. Basically, for him everything is shadowruns, all the time.

>>32878639

This information seems more important than you are. “Man, you’re supposed to lead with this kind of crap!” you shout. (+10 Stress: 34/100)

“That’s right. I’m supposed to play all of my cards when you’re threatening me and those under my protection,” Waldric drones. “You really are terrible at intrigue. Remind me never to let you know anything important, ever again.” Most of that, you think, is sarcasm. Some of it certainly isn’t though.

“You know, this seems like something you need to talk to Isaac about,” you say. You’re never one for telling the teacher about your problems, but if the building was on fire you’d probably mention something in passing, at least.

“I thought I was clear on this point. I am not going to meet with your demonbane attack dog.”

>>32879784

“Look, like, I don’t know how popular cellphones are in the fires of hell, but here in California it’s the twenty-first century,” you say. “You don’t have to see anybody to talk to them. I’m giving you his number. You call him, or I really will start threatening you.”

Waldric considers your point. “If he doesn’t hang up once I tell him who I am,” he says. “Give me the number.”

You relay the information to him.

“I’ll give him the details – if he’ll let me,” he says.

Also tell him to let us give Isaac a quick heads up before he rings him. We should let him know that Waldric seems to be legit, and is also absurdly melodramatic.

“He’ll let you,” you promise. “What kind of timetable is Meckor moving on? I mean, I thought I had the rest of the day free, but like, saving the world is more important than going to Best Buy and picking up a laptop.” Really though, a laptop seems like something you need to have. Everyone has one but you. You don’t even know what you would use a laptop for, but you bet it would be great.

“I’m not certain, but sometime soon,” says Waldric. “We have two, three weeks at best. I think he has everything in order on this end, but he’s waiting for his legion to get into position on the other side.”

“How does he have everything in order?” you ask, appalled. “I thought it was hard for you guys to come over here!”

“I don’t know the details of how. He’s keeping the specifics between him and Philostrathus,” Waldric tells you. “Any summoning ritual for that number of demons would take years to set up and days to perform – and it would be a huge production on both sides. He’s found some other way.”

Well that’s not helpful at all. “Before I let you go, why is Meckor such an ass?” you ask, frustrated with everything happening right now. “What’s his deal?”

“He used to be a loyalist general,” says Waldric, his voice filled with bitterness. “Someone people wanted to follow. The man he used to be would kill himself if he knew what he’d become. But that’s beside the point. If we’re going to stop him, I have a call to make.”

“I’ll phone ahead so Isaac knows who’s calling,” you say “Oh – last thing. When you’re talking to Isaac, just… be honest. Like. Please, just no drama or secrets or whatever. You can’t take him seriously once you get to know him. I mean, I didn’t think I could trust him either, but I wound up fine, you know?”

Waldric’s reply is skeptical. “I… really don’t,” he says.

You take a breath. “Look man. Just. Thanks for doing this, Waldric. I mean. I get the feeling this isn’t the safest option for you.”

“Maybe not,” he says, “nut it’s the only option I have.”

Waldric hangs up on you.

Rowan looks over. “Okay, now you tell me what he told you, because from what I heard, we’re in a lot of trouble,” she says.

“I gotta call Isaac first,” you say.

You complete the call and let Isaac know the gist of what’s going on so he doesn’t try to slay the demons when he gets a call from one. After that, you basically lay out Meckor’s plans to Rowan.

She looks highly disturbed by the end of it. “This is very, very bad,” she says. “I want to say it’s impossible, but you never know for certain when magic’s involved.”

There’s a heavy weight in the pit of your stomach. Maybe it’s fear. Maybe it’s the weight of responsibility. Maybe you’re hungry. You just don’t know. (+5 Stress: 39/100)

Sierra has a habit of running from her problems. Facing them, while stressful, in a peaceful environment should allow for stress relief while confronting her fears and should prepare her for the confrontation with Meckor.

>>32880730

>>32880797
I was more concerned about the implication of "human" vs "demon" in the first place. Don't really care about the sex. I'm just assuming it's a turn of phrase.

>>32880797
16 different dicks, for sure.

>>32880550
>>I’m going to… go riding for a while. You can go back if you want. I just need to clear my head.
Have Reeber tag along.

“I’m not okay with the current situation,” you say flatly. You really, really aren’t. (+1 Stress: 42/100)

“I don’t think anyone’s ready for situations like this,” Rowan says, sounding more reasonable than you feel right now. (+1 Stress: 43/100)

The body count would easily be in the tens of thousands. That’s what he said. That’s what Meckor’s doing while you’re sitting on a park bench watching you dog run around the park.

“No. Like. I am not okay right now, Ro,” you say, a little more insistent. (+2 Stress: 45/100) “I… need to do stuff. Like. Lots of stuff. Anything.” You need a distraction and a damn good one.

Rowan senses your jitteriness. “Right – yeah, we could… we could do something right now. Why don’t we do that?” she says, popping up from the bench and skating a little bit away. She does a good job of keeping a calm tone. “Let’s go. We can go fast,” she says.

Why, pray tell, do you both think buying a laptop is an any way necessary or useful to Sierra right now or in the immediate future?

>>32880935
>Go fast.

I'm not understanding the laptop thing. It seems pretty odd.
"Ro, I'm not feelin' too good. The kind of not good where I think it might eventually result in violence."
...
"I want to go buy a laptop."

>>32881105
Being 100 percent impulsive

>>32880984
I like this

>>32881105
Laptops are useful as fuck.

>Surf the web
>Play game
>Run applications

>>32881156
But that kind of impulse is not really in Sierra's character. It would make sense if she loved to shop, but that's not really her cup of tea. THe character sheet explicitly says "Finds tactile exercises involving dexterity or physical action soothing."

Do we even have the few hundred dollars on us to go buy a laptop right now?

>>32881105

Laptops are fun, anon.

>>32881105
People feel Sierra would, in this case, freak out. And try to run away from her problems.

>>32881105
I don't?

>>32881197
>run applications

What are you, a nerd?

>>32880935

Okay, but cycling or running away would fit her personality better than a shopping spree.

>>32880935

Can we combine the two and make it like some kind tai chi like moving meditation?

>>32881222
Then why suggest it?

>>32881264
Sure. Maybe Rowan could teach us.

>>32881273
I think it would be a fun thing to get.

Ah yes, "fun." The so-called emotion that would supposedly reduce stress levels. We have dismissed those claims.

>>32880935
>Go fast.
>I need to buy a laptop like, right now.

>>32881105
Because Sierra wanted one in the fluff text.
Also, maybe Sierra can use Vidja to keep her stress down.
Or because She'll get access to ALL THE PORN which is much more effective than meditation.

>>32881309
I'm sick of your disingenuous assertions!

>>32881343
Poor Daniel.

>>32881309
So, what reason do you have that Sierra would, out of the blue, turn to playing on a laptop as a stress relief, when it's been established by history and documented on her character sheet that physical activity is soothing to her?
Speed typing a fanfic is not an option.

...I think the 'airquotes' were against getting the laptop, not for it.

It's interesting that Waldric said that the only he knows for sure about Sierra is that everything around her dies violently. I wonder if she's got a bad reputation in the demon community. Like, she's the demonic equivalent of a serial killer, or something.

>>32881343
>>32880935
I'd rather not go with the laptop. It sounds too impulsive. Something that would cause more stress then it would relieve, because it would only target the symptoms rather then the problem.

Never change /tg/

I just want Isaac to explain to us what the fuck a Hellion is. Is that too much to ask?

Anyway, I think we might want to grab that fire resistance skill next chance we get. I'd bet that Hellion+Infernus=shits fire everywhere. And Ranthix is still alive. And Meckor probably has at least one or two more firespitters on his payday.

>>32881877
Plus we set shit on fire all the time ind now we have the imp as well

>>32881870
I'm just sitting here thinking to myself that I could totally write some smut about this. It would be autistic as all get out and freeze the readers' faces in a collective cringe, but I could do it.

Do you mean payroll?

>>32881877

>>32881899
Yes. I have no idea why I put 'payday'.

>>32881911
Great now we're never going to get tentacles, keep that shit on the downlow.

>>32881877
My biggest priorities for upgrades are Inflict Pain and Blood Curse. Inflict Pain so we can get some debuffing in, and Blood Curse to deal with buffers and regenerators.

>>32881932
I know the one available now seems really bad, but invisibility would be a good thing to pick up if only to open the door to better stealth down the road. Just like the first regen unlock was a touch crummy, the first invis is a touch crummy.

>>32882004
It could be nice in the future, especially if we use it in quick 1 second bursts as we ambush people to keep the cost down, but it's not really a priority, there's other stuff that we need more.

>>32882060
Yeah i think we need our core passives like fire resistance before we start looking at long term plans.

>>32882127
Child of Night is another good one. Got nothing in the way of armour right now. There's the hp buff, but that doesn't do much to actually reduce the damage itself.
