“Oh man,” you say, laughing a little bit. “This is a dumb question, but I’m totally asking anyway. Am I like. Ever going to fall in love?” you ask. “Or uh. What if somebody falls in love with me? Is it going to be like, a mutual thing or is it always going to be love triangles or whatever?” Oh man. This is great. (-5 Stress: 73/100)

“Stop asking stupid question! Make question easy to read!” Song scolds you.

Right. “Yeah, I can do that,” you say. “Um. So. Like. Will the grand river… take me through… uh. To… meet the course of another that’s like, hot, but, also, you know, is okay with who I am?”

“The grand river flows in myserious ways,” says Ms. Song. “The path of two meets as one for time, and then current change. For better or worse nothing again is same.” She squints at some detail that she overlooked. “And he is very good looker, mmm yes he is, girl, you getting better question now. Ask if you should get tan first, maybe it is prerequisite.”

You pump a fist in triumph. Yes! You knew you had it in you. And also, you know future guy dude will be hot for sure now. This is turning from a horrible experience to a mediocre experience, and fast. (-3 Stress: 70/100)

“Okay, I’ve got another thing,” you say. “Is… is Isaac right?” you ask. About what, you’re not sure, but maybe a mystical Chinese woman can help you out here.

“Is this Isaac’s fortune?” asks Ms. Song. “I don’t think so!”

“Fine,” you say. “Is Isaac… should I listen to Isaac?”

“Hmm,” says Song. “Strong mind and heart of might carry light through cloudless night,” she says.

“What’s that mean?” you ask.

“I read tell fortune, I don’t interpret fortune! That three thousand dollar extra!”

“Geeze, whatever,” you say, feeling kind of violated for some reason.

“Okay, last question,” she says. “Make it good one, okay?”

The landwell is in nevada.

>>32964386
>Is… Nevada proud of me?

Guys, there were only 2 rules to the questions -
The more specific the question, the more vague the answer
And
It has to be about Sierra or directly connected to her

Just throwing it out there, but we should probably go to the peak of Mt. Whitney at some point.

Highest point in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and I have a feeling there's something there.

>>32964386
>Do I get a happy ending?

You think about a couple of things. You’d like to know where the landwell is that Meckor’s going to bring his demon army through, but you figure any answer you get will only prove ironically helpful after you’ve already found the landwell. After that, though, there’s only one thing that you really kind of want to know. “This is kind of a yes or no question, I guess, but, can you like, just give it your best shot?” you ask.

“Tell me question and I tell you answer,” says Song.

“Is my sister… is Nevada proud of me?”

Ms. Song looks at you, and sees the earnestness in your expression. She doesn’t answer immediately. Instead, she looks back down at the dregs of the tea leaves. “Twin paths, starting so similarly, are so different yet – split asunder under moon light, one given dark road of tale untold, other great rest one thousand fold unknown. Close to heart and name cherished for all steps till trial of separation she ends in death.” She pauses. “Mm now that is good fortune,” says Song.

“It was a dumb question,” you say, feeling crestfallen.

“Maybe, but maybe it is good question too,” Ms. Song says. She starts packing up her tea stuff. “Okay, you are good to go now. I need to talk with Marshal Hallow,” she says. “Go fetch Isaac, girl.”

>Thanks for telling me about stuff.

>>32964933
There's probably a landwell somewhere in the area there. I don't even care about the +10PP or whatever else we might get from it, I just want -that- landwell. For sentimental reasons.
Sentimental reasons involving someone else's fictional dead sister.

So we'll never see Nevada again. Awesome.

>Go fetch Isaac.

>>32964961
You know, she never did say whether this was the real fortune telling or the fake one...

We are, after all, not 100% sane.

>>Marshal Hallow. Marshal… Mallow. Marshmallow.
>>Go fetch Isaac.

>>32964961
>Close to heart and name cherished for all steps till trial of separation she ends in death.
So, Nevada is dead. But she loved the shit out of us. Goddamn, that's too fucking sad.

>>32964961
can't remember are the horns out we might want too fix that

>>32965119
Seems like it. I'm reading the great rest line as dead.
On one hand, depressing as hell.
On the other, Sierra can finally put it all to rest.

>>32964961
>>Marhsal Hallow. Marshal… Mallow. Marshmallow.
>>Go fetch Isaac.
Look him in the eye and start giggling uncontrollably

>>32964961
>Go fetch Isaac.

>>32965174
Yeah. 'Close to heart and name cherished for all steps' pretty clearly means that she loved us every minute of every day while we were together with her. Which makes sense, because she's our fucking twin. But 'till trial of separation she ends in death' either mean she died when we were separated, or - and this is the worse operation - that we're separated right now, but if that trial of separation ends, she'll die, likely by our hand.

Either way, it's a fucking downer of a fortune.

we get to go through a lot of shit and as yet the ending is unknown
>other great rest
the other, Nevada, dies ("big sleep")
>one thousand fold unknown
death is a mystery/what lies beyond the veil and so forth

>>32965236
Alternatively, you can read the trial of separation line as her being dead, and we won't see her again til we join her.
Fucking fortunes.

>>32965279
Yeah. The fortune basically says that she's either already dead or, if she's alive, one of us will die when we meet again. I'm leaning towards her being dead. It would just be even fucking sadder if one of us is doomed to die once we meet again.

>>32965336
It was a 4th wall thing.

Nevada is the one who doesn't have her story told. The dark road thing also fits in with the name mum gave her.

Sierra is the one stuck with anons in her head. It said that "great rest one thousand fold unknown", meaning that Sierra gets no rest; she's the mc and constantly has to do shit.

>>32965362
Or it could be saying that we're the one keeping Nevada close to our heart, and cherishing her, and one way or another when we die we'll be with her.

>>32965409
I honestly have no idea how you came to that conclusion
I am sitting at my computer like a dog, head tilted to one side, mouth open in confusion
You hurt my brain

>>32965409
so basically, fortunes are cryptic bullshit that could mean anything depending on how you try to read them

sounds about right

>>32965362
>>32965441
Or it could even be that when we meet her again it will be under dangerous circumstances and one of us will die to protect the other.

This shit was left open for a reason.

>>32965463
>trying to interpret fortunes while being bad at abstract / magical thinking
git gud

>>32965514
Interpreting 'Great rest one thousand fold unknown' as person will get no rest makes no sense whatsoever. The only thing abstract about it was how someone took a bunch of words that have nothing to do with what you said they mean and tried to justify it.

>>32964961
>Marhsal Hallow. Marshal… Mallow. Marshmallow.
"Isaac Hallow is a Marshmallow!"

>>32965409
Except if we're not breaking the 4th wall, it's more appropriate to say Sierra is the one walking a dark road, since she's been a nobody ever since her dad left. "Great rest one thousand fold unknown" is hard to parse, but it'll probably make sense later.

>>32965597
so this is what happens when our sanity drops

>>32965560
I honestly don't see what's so hard to get about that.

"Great" is just dramatic fortunespeak for "meaningful". "One thousand fold" is just a long-winded way of saying "very" and is modifying "unknown". The implied verb is "is" because Chinaspeak. Saying that something is unknown to a person is a common way of saying that they will not experience that thing.

Really, it's not even that abstract.

[Person] will experience no meaningful rest [as a result of the path they walk].

>>32965677
SAN loss is fun.

At least when it's still above 80 anyway. Probably still mostly ok into the 70s.

Do not want to see what happens when it gets into the 50s. Below 50 is probably a mighty nasty dangerzone.

>>32965560
Not the guy you responded to, but I can see how he got there, with rest being one thousand fold unknown. It could also be that the great rest is death and whichever one it applies to will survive many times when they otherwise probably shouldn't have. Or be taken more generally as a life with a lot of hardship and troubles.

Looking at our Mother's description of us and our sister may be helpful for parsing this.

>“When I look upon you, my Nydalis, you are a more beautiful, more exquisite shade of night than the farthest reaches of the void.”

>“And when I cast my gaze on you, my Sakheris, you are the brilliant blazing fury of the stars, unquenchable, unconquerable, and indomitable.”

This seems to fit pretty well with Nevada given dark road of tale untold, it fits with the darkness and distance evoked in it, and us great rest one thousand fold unknown matches with being unstoppable blazing fury.

>>32965776
odd thing is when we started this we had sanity at max yet i know we lost some a few sessions ago how do we get it back?

I wanna see what happens when Our san drops to 10

>>32965824
I'm guessing it comes bback over time.

>>32965824
It regenerates passively. It also actively restores faster if you do soothing / 'human' stuff.

This has been repeated a million times over the last few threads every time people freak out about San loss.

>>32965824
Looks like it regenerates over time and with positive emotions. We gained like three sanity back just talking to Ms Song after we came out of our trance.

We should take up cooking. If anime has taught me anything it's that half demon's are great cooks.

>>32966022
Harvey could teach us.

“Fetch Marshal Hallow,” you say, just to experiment with the sound of it. “Fetch… Marshal Mallow,” you say. “Marshmallow,” you finish. What. You can’t even laugh. “My brain hurts,” you say.

“Your brain has no nerve feeling,” says Song. “You are just wacky teen girl. Now get out and do what I tell you already!”

You feel too fried mentally and emotionally to make much of a counterattack, so you just stand and go find Isaac, who’s flipping through a heavy, leather bound tome marked with the yin yang symbol thing. By the looks of things, it has lots and lots of pictures. You walk up behind him.

“Ms. Song will see you now,” you say, feeling tired.

Isaac jumps when you break the silence. “Oh. How’d it go?” he asks, turning and looking at you. He’s got his aviators off and in his pocket. “So you told her about you being hellborn,” he notes.

You look at yourself. Right, don’t look like this. You close your eyes for a minute and fix your appearance. “Yep,” you say. “I uh. Got the job too so. It’s official?”

Isaac smiles. He starts to kind of go in for a congratulatory half-hug thing, but you kind of step away and halt the process before it’s begun. You don’t want to deal with that right now. “Right, sorry,” he says, as if reading your mind. “But that’s great news! I’m glad you made it,” he says. “Can we do one of these?” he asks, holding up a fist.

>>32966079

It’s hard to keep your words together. Maybe it’s because you’re not talking to Ms. Song anymore. “Man you’re… you’re so lame,” you say. But you bump his fist anyway.

He beams like its some kind of victory. “All right. I’ll be back in a while. Rowan’s still wandering around here somewhere. I’ll let you break the news to her,” he says. He heads off then, toward the back of the shop.

You wander through knickknacks and curios, some of which have exorbitant prices marked on their tags. But who knows. If that little tiny jar marked Dew From Mt. Jiuhua is the real deal, maybe it really is worth 899 dollars.

You come onto an isle with Rowan, who is distracted by the short, kind of weird sword with a curved tip she’s got in one hand. She’s s moving through some techniques while she spins the blade around. She’s being slow and careful, probably so she doesn’t break anything.

One of the floorboards creeks beneath you, and in a flash, Rowan replaces the sword in its velvet red display case and pretends like she’s reading the little inscription on the plaque before it, even though it’s in Chinese. She gives you a furtive glance, but when she sees it’s you, she lets out a sigh of relief and walks over. “Thought you were Ms. Song,” she says, smiling.

>>32966100

“Heh. Nooope,” you say, smiling. But then you wince. It’s pretty damn bright in here.

Rowan sees something’s up. “Are you all right?” she asks, turning her head slightly and taking a step forward to examine you up close. “You look pale. Er. Than usual.”

As a sidenote to the conversation topics, we should probably warn her that we might get some bad nightmares, so maybe stand by for unconscious property damage and stuff.

Give me some dice for not doing anything weird.

Agreed.

>I think I remembered something that I wasn’t supposed to.

>>32966393
And maybe sleep with the lights on. In most of the house.

>>32966372
That seems like a good idea. Also, sleeping with Reeber might help a bit with nightmares and the like.

>>32966440
Not sure that would really help, we're pretty comfortable with the dark.

>>32966461
>Not sure that would really help, we're pretty comfortable with the dark.
I think he meant it as more of a way to prevent us from strangling someone in our sleep. We can control all the shadows within our general vicinity, which probably covers most of the house.

>>32966461
The lights are not for our comfort here. They are more to stop us having shadows to unconsciously lash out with.

>>32966461
We should probably meditate tonight. We can only do it for an hour, but that'll drop stress by seven. We should probably upgrade this skill.

>>32966479
Especially considering we become substantially more potent in ragemode. In fairness, we're supposedly a fair bit older than when we shredded stuff in our sleep and people tend to grow out of that sort of thrashing, but there's a risk that tonight will be unusually disturbed as we process a big lump of new stuff at once, so we may still flail a bit though I don't really expect it to be completely catastrophic if it even happens; at most we'll probably need to buy a new mattress and patch up the walls in our room. It's just best to be sure, really.

>>32966531
We should have asked Ms. Song to teach us in her mystical oriental ways.

>>32966255
That has to be good enough that we actually recover some sanity.

>>32966616
She might insist on it. We didn't exactly project an image of stability and control back there.

Rowan pointing out that your current mental status is effecting your outward appearance kicks some sense in through your teeth. You shake your head and get rid of some of the fogginess that’s crept in there. (+2 Sanity: 89/100)

“Bad headache,” you say. “Ms. Song knew some stuff about my mom I guess and… well I kind of remembered some stuff I don’t think I was supposed to remember.” You give Rowan the lowdown on what happened, including details about the Black Kingdom. You refrain from going into unnecessary detail about the incident, though.

“But you’re better now, right?” Rowan asks, sounding worried.

“I don’t think so. I mean. I feel kind of scrambled, but I think I’ll be okay later,” you say. “It was a little hard to talk after it happened, so if I like, say something stupid or that doesn’t really make sense, just, like, give me a free pass.”

Rowan snorts. “I give you free passes all the time already when it comes to you saying silly stuff.”

You smirk at her. “Well rev ‘em up those ones, because you might need a whole bunch of them before the night’s done,” you say.

“Duly noted,” says Ro. “How’d the interview go? Did she fire you when she saw you weren’t wearing a tie?”

“Nope,” you say, your smirk growing to a wide smile. “Get this. I was all like, check out my horns bitch, and then she’s all like, you get job, girl, go team. So I’ve got your job now too. I mean. Great news or greatest news?” you ask.

>>32967241

“Awesome news,” Rowan says, almost glowing with happiness. “This is so cool. Now we’re like, official back-to-back crime fighting demon slayers,” she says.

“Hell yeah!” you say. You offer your fist, and Rowan bumps it. You don’t usually do this kind of thing, but Isaac just did it, so it’s kind of on your mind right now. Anyway. Ultimate superhero team is a go. (-5 Stress: 65/100) You withdraw from the confirmation of sweetness, and look at the sword Rowan was just playing with. “What’s up with that guy? You thinking of switching?”

“Nah, my sword’s way cooler. And it’s maaaagic,” she says mystically, waving her hands around.

“Maybe that sword’s magic too,” you say. “I think a lot of this crap is magic, actually.” You look around at all the mysterious curios in sight. So many curios.

“Well mine’s angel magic,” she says.

“Well my demon magic sword – uh, I mean, Zelathis, Lightning Sword has lightning. What’s yours even do anyway?” you ask. Though you’ve been testing your might against Ro’s formidable swordsmanship for weeks now, you’ve never seen her do anything flashy with it.

Rowan smirks. “It makes it so you always have solid footing,” she says. “You know. Besides cutting through hellish magic and monster hide.”

“Solid footing,” you say, looking now at the Chinese sword like it’s something you’d pick out of a cereal box and throw away.

“Rollerblades and swords don’t go together usually,” says Ro. “You know. Unless they’re magic swords.”

>>32967262

“Or magic rollerblades,” you say, your mind now filled with infinite possibilities. “By the way. Not to worry you or anything, but tonight, remind me to keep the lights on. Like. Everywhere.”

“What?”

“You know. Just in case,” you say cryptically.

--

The night didn’t turn out as bad as you feared. You felt a little better after meditating, though you did wind up having boat dream nightmares like, five times through the night. And, kind of embarrassing, you popped claws during the night and maybe shredded the sheets. Reeber didn’t seem to be bothered by it.

No one questioned you when you said he was spending the night with you, and you’re glad about it. Even Cass was a sport when you showed mentioned your bedding. She just kind of got it without you having to explain yourself. You figure she stuck Bed Bath and Beyond on her to-do list once you left for school.

Maybe the dreams are your subconscious warning you not to get too pushy with whatever it’s decided to hide in the vault. Maybe you don’t really want to know what happened that night. And maybe you can’t.

Anyway. School proves to be a welcome distraction, but the weight of Meckor’s currently un-foiled plans mingle with your odd headaches and short bursts of nonsensicality to keep you pretty heated up through most the day.

>>32967280

Borislav’s supposed to be coming down after school, and you’re going to ride around with him looking for landwells. It’s got you pretty excited, actually, seeing as you haven’t seen him in a week or so. Between your unspeakably bad Russian and his fledgling English, you think you might actually be able to have a real kind of conversation with the druid for the first time ever, today.

Stress: 48/100
Sanity: 91/100

It is lunchtime, it is Tuesday, and you are currently looking forward to a sweet Halloween rave party schedule for Friday and landwell hunting today. You are, as is your wont, with Ro & Co (though you would never say this out loud because geeze just think about it for a second). Your friends have noticed your fidgetiness, but thankfully you’ve been able to explain it as a bad cold. Hopefully it won’t last longer than a bad cold.

“Let’s just agree ahead of time now,” says Rowan, as you all walk to your usual location. “If there are drugs there – well okay, we all know there are going to be drugs there, we’re going to not take the drugs there.”

Vikrama laughs. “I’m not going through all the effort of making my costume fabulous just so I can get drugged up and forget all about it,” she says frankly.

“I wouldn’t risk mine to my brain on LSD,” says Baron. “It’s more expensive than I’d originally planned. I mean, it’s worth it, but still. It's not just a costume. It’s an investment.”

>>32967303

You roll your eyes. You on drugs is probably not a good idea either, and man, you’ve seen what kind of bad stuff ‘the good stuff’ does to people first hand from when you helped sell the crap on streets, but still, coming up front and outright agreeing to a no-drug pact before a Halloween rave is about as square as you get.

“Sierra?” Ro asks, looking at you expectantly.

>Can’t knock it till you’ve tried it, am I right or am I right?
>I don’t think the world is ready for Sierra on crack

Lets not talk about our past of selling drugs, it's kind of a downer.

“I’m the only non-square left,” you say meaningfully, with a tinge of sadness. “What fun’s anything going to be without somebody being ambiguous? I mean, where’s the suspense then?”

“D.A.R.E., Sierra,” Baron tells you.

“What’s that even stand for?” you ask. “Like. Drugs is the first word, right?”

“I think it’s Drugs Are Really….” Baron kind of trails off.

“Exciting?” Vikrama prompts.

“Egregious,” Rowan chips in.

“Kids these days don’t know what egregious means,” says Vikrama.

“Educational. Look, I can play this game too,” you say.

>>32967881

“That’s right, Sierra,” says Baron, nodding as if you have just dispensed wisdom. “Just remember, Drugs are Really Educational. They will educate you in all the worst things imaginable, so not even once!”

“Nice turn around,” says Rowan. “Ten points to Gryphindor. But Sierra. Seriously, don’t do drugs.”

You laugh it off. “World’s not ready for Sierra on crack,” you say, more or less reassuringly. “I’ve seen people punch through windows on that stuff and not even flinch.”

“As in, you have actually seen somebody do that?” Vikrama asks, shocked. “What secret life have you been living, darling?”

“Just life before you guys got me down,” you joke. Shootin’ the breeze. Mmm hmm. (-3 Stress: 45/100)

A familiar figure in dark colors catches your attention. You see Moriah in her usual location looking kind of gloomy, as usual. You’ll see her at art class later, but something’s not quite right. She’s just kind of slouched over, and you think you can hear her crying. That’s… kind of more gloomy than usual, actually.

Maybe, but we should at least offer. She only even got us as a friend because we pushed ourselves on her no wait that sounded gay.

So yeah, she seemed to be really happy that we became her friend, but she had to be gently pressured into it at first since she seems agonizingly shy and self conscious.

>Not beating her up and yelling "you got knocked the fuck out" in her face

“So uh…” you trail off, your brain having already left to take action before you do. “Drugs are bad. Got it. I’ll see you later, gotta check up on something,” you say, excusing yourself. You walk over to Moriah and sit down next to her.

She doesn’t seem to notice you, so you venture a hand out and lay it on her shoulder. Like, you don’t like getting touchy with anybody, but so long as you’re the toucher and not the touch-ee, it’s more or less okay.

She turns slightly to look at you. Her eyeshadow is all running down her face. Man, this is like, sad for you to be seeing this crap. (+2 Stress: 47/100)

“H-hello, Sierra,” she says shakily, carefully wiping her face so as to not smear makeup everywhere.

You’re not really good with helping people with feelings. That’s one thing guys have over girls, at least, is that they don’t have feelings maybe. “Uh. What’s wrong?” you ask lamely.

“It’s really stupid,” says Moriah. “Forget it.”

“Yeah that’s like, never happening?” you say. “Talk to me.”

“Just some idiots,” she says dismissively. “I was minding my own business and they just… started bothering me. And I asked them to go away, and they didn’t listen.”

You narrow your eyes. There’s more to the story. Moriah’s tougher than that. “What did they do?” you ask, your voice rigid.

>>32968525
>>32968527
>>32968532
Well, now i just feel dumb for forgetting that they where identical.

>>32968541

Moriah starts crying again. “They – they kept bothering me about my sketchbook and I thought they’d leave me alone if I just let them
see it.” She breaks down for a little, while you just sit there and feel useless. You can see where this is going, and you don’t like it. (+2 Stress: 49/100)

After a moment, Moriah manages to compose herself well enough to speak again. “And when I did, they just… they just ran off with it,” she says miserably. “I don’t even know who they were, Sierra.”

You scowl. This is… this is reprehensible. Like. That’s the word to describe this right now. Repre-fucking-hensible.

“It’s not so bad,” says Moriah, reasoning with herself. “Maybe they’ll leave it someplace and it’ll get in the lost and found. Let’s… would you come down with me? I’ll report it missing right now.”

>You. Yeah sure. Let’s take care of that right now together.

>>32968563
Ask about how they looked, see if they match with the ones we suspect before we start busting heads.

>>32968563
It was probably soccer bitch and her lackeys.

Give Moriah a subtle sniff, pick up on any scents on her, it might help for tracking down the sketchbook later if they hid it, and it might help confirm that it was the soccer bitches whose scents we presumably are familiar with by this point as we've been in close proximity a couple times.

>It’s only missing if you don’t know where it is. I think I know who has it.

Ask her who did it, make sure it matches up.

>I’ll be back in like, ten minutes. Stay here.

Then we go out, hunt that bitch down, and get the sketchbook back.

>>32968672
The catch comes when they get us arrested or kicked out. We just need a credible witness.

>You. Yeah sure. Let’s take care of that right now together.
If we do actually somehow know by virtue of our supernatural sense of smell:
>It’s only missing if you don’t know where it is. I know exactly who has it.

presumably we can figure out if it was any of Trixie's goons from description though.

>>32968696
Just saying, but smacking them all with a sap will will leave no evidence. They can't prove we did shit and they'll look insane if they try to accuse us of anything.

>>32968563
>get moriah and rowan to come with you and identify and drag the guilty parties to a teacher
it's super square but the way that has the most consequences for the jerks. Otherwise we just escalate the conflict

Your sense of smell is not good enough to track people by scent. You can only track blood scents. If people are bleeding, that is.

>>32968744
Then just ask Moriah what they looked like. Hair color and style, clothes, heights, race, etc.

>If you want, I can like, see if I can go find your book thing instead.

>>32968678

Rowan and co would probably be helpful for figuring out who took it from description.

So, breaking the soccer teams legs.
Yes, no, maybe?

“One question,” you say. “Were they boys or girls?”

“All of them were girls,” she says. “Why?”

“Well it’s only missing if you don’t know where it is,” you say grimly. “I know exactly who has it.”

“That girl from yesterday?” Moriah asks.

“The girl from flipping yesterday,” you confirm. This is a line crossed. This is… this is crazy. Being mean to Ro, whatever. Getting bitchy at you cause you’re Ro’s friend, okay, a stretch sure, but whatever. But bullying your Moriah? She has literally nothing to do with fucking the worst sport in the world. “I hate soccer,” you say. (+3 Stress: 52/100)

We should get teachers involved just to make sure there are as many lasting consequences as possible, but go after them ourselves to minimize the time they have to damage it if they're being top-tier cunts. We only need to use tricks like sap will and "gentle" pressure on people like this, so we won't be at risk of getting in trouble for fighting. Having witnesses of good repute to back us up might be a good idea to be safe though.

Our reaction speeds and general fight-skills are so good that we really shouldn't have to fight the kids at all, we should be able to more or less dance around anything they can throw at us. Maybe we might have to twist out of a hold at most, but whatever.

The worst we might have to do is use sap will to shut them the hell down if they're about to break anything, but that doesn't leave any evidence or lasting damage so who cares.

Blame Sony for adding a mandatory system update when I wanted to play some fightan, maybe I would've never read your post so closely.

You stand up. “I won’t hurt anyone if I don’t have to,” you say flatly. “And if I get hurt by those idiots, I fucking swear I will eat my jacket.”

“But… you love that jacket,” Moriah says quietly.

“Yeah,” you say. “That’s like, the point? I mean. Obviously I don’t plan on eating my –“ you shake your head. “Okay, forget the jacket thing. I’ll be back in like, ten minutes.”

You walk off like it’s nobody’s business, because the only person whose business it is is you. You stalk the school at speed, checking every nook and corner. You are on the hunt and you will have blood. Or like. Figurative blood. Literal blood is not in the game plan.

You cover half the school with no results. And then on your way to check the gym, you walk by Ro and buds where they’re sitting.

“Hey Sierra,” says Rowan. “What’s up?”

“Such determination. She looks like she’s on a quest,” says Vikrama. “Are you on a quest, Sierra?”

You don't fuck with someone's sketchbook. That shit just ain't right.

A few witnesses in case they try and claim we assaulted them or some bullshit would be extremely useful, plus it would be a crime to deprive a quarter angel the chance to be involved in righteous predominantly-verbal-plus-magic-terrorizing vengeance

I'm not gonna put her in the hospital, don't worry.

Pic related is probably what Sierra's thinking right now.

does this mean we're gonna hatefuck Beatrice?

“I am a fucking quest right now,” you say, your voice tense and low with anger.

“Okay, what?” Baron asks.

“Beatrice is what,” you say, coming to a halt before the usual table. “She’s what out of chances. I’m going to go kick her ass. You want in?” This last question is directed at Rowan.

Baron and Vikrama look from you to her.

“You’re… being really serious right now,” says Baron. “This can’t be a good idea.”

“What did she do this time?” Rowan asks, her expression stern.

“She’s screwing around with Moriah,” you say. “Like. Coercing somebody to coerce somebody to coerce somebody. She’s gone insane with this Inception BS, it’s getting too deep. I’m like, going to seriously break her legs or something.” You probably won’t break her legs or something.

Rowan shakes her head. “I’m going with Baron on this one. It’s a bad idea, whatever she did,” she says. “You’ll get in serious trouble if you go after her like this.”

“Well they’ll get in serious trouble too if they weasel out,” you counter. “They’re not going to say anything – Beatrice isn’t going to risk getting expelled if all she cares about is college. So are you coming or not? She was a bitch to you first, as far as I’m concerned you deserve to throw the first punch.”

“Even winning a fight with them isn’t going to change anything,” Ro replies. “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. With great po –“

>>32969737
“Don’t you quote fucking Spider Man at me right now,” you say, cutting that one off in the bud.

“Excuse me?” asks Vikrama, sounding incredulous. “Yes, Sierra is as tough as they get, but Beatrice is going to be with her friends,” she says, trying to inject some modicum of reason into the situation. “They might lose every game, but it’s not because they’re slackers. They’re tough. Even righteous fury can’t even out a four to one fight – and I don’t care how many times you quote Spider Man in a day, that doesn’t actually give you spider powers!”

Rowan and you exchange a kind of meaningful look.

>Like hell it doesn’t.

>Well I have the power of being mad pissed right now.
>Well I’ve always got a knife if things go south.

also don't say anything about the knife we got much more undercover ways to get under her skin

It might be that Beatrice is trying to piss us off enough to get into a fight...

"...Alright. Fine. If everyone here wants me to to play nice with that skank Trixie, I'll do it. But I want her to know that fucking with my friends is something I will not tolerate. She gets one chance. Just one."

"If you got better idea how to put the bitch in her place, spill it now. Or get out of my way."

We are a god damn shadow demon, just steal it back and shove and hand full if mud in the back of her pants.

>>32969890

Or perhaps some.. compromising item. Smokes, or some such.

>>32969890
Actually, using our shadow powers to steal it back isn't a bad idea.

>>32969911
>perhaps some... compromising item
L-LEWD!!!

>>32969753
Give her a smile.

"Groups like this fall apart the moment the leader gets dropped, and I already promised to eat my jacket if they manage to hurt me.

I'll even give her a chance to end this nicely."

Getting in to an actual fight is a bad idea, as I'm sure Beatrice will do everything possible to get us landed in it while she gets off scot free somehow. On the other hand, sap will isn't something they can complain about. Someone setting their phone to rec a video in their pocket so it can catch any audio of them discussing the sketchbook would be nice as hard evidence that they lifted it, and would be a useful blackmail tool to boot once it's done

Lets just sap will and get the book. this doesn't have to be a huge thing.

You put your foot down. Figuratively. “Well I’m not Spider Man and I never will be!” you say, your hands clenching into fists. “But that doesn’t mean I just let people screw with my friends, okay?” (+2 Stress: 54/100)

Rowan stands up. “I think you’re a little too close to this,” she says calmly.

“I’ve done more against worse,” you say. “This is nothing I can’t handle.” Nothing’s holding you back from such a petty threat. (+1 Stress: 55/100)

Vikrama look to one another in wordless puzzlement.

“Why don’t you think about what you’re doing for a couple minutes first?” Rowan asks, almost begging. “Don’t let your anger get the better of you, you’re better than this.”

>>32970144
It'd probably be a pretty good idea to just sap will on trixie, grab the book, and leave before anyone has a chance to make this dramatic.

Anon's going to feel like a real asshole when this injection of negative emotion makes trixie have to be hospitalized for self-harm

>>32970206

“You don’t get it, Ro,” you say, edging away. “This is something I have to do. Like. This is who I am, okay? Please, I mean, agree, disagree, whatever, just don’t try to stop me.” You turn around and continue forward on your own.

You head over to the gym, and that’s where your search ends. You see her with a few friends over by where they’ve got the pool all opened up and crap for the suckers stuck in PE. The place is pretty much deserted, like, usually people play basketball in here or whatever but with the floor all screwed up there’s really no reason to hang around in here. It suits your purposes just fine, though. (+1 Stress: 56/100)

>Beatrice, you know you’re going to have to give this up sooner or later.
>I’m going to ask this like, one time. Give me that book.
>Why do you people hang out with this bitch? All she cares about is getting even with people.
>Make a beeline for the sketchbook.
>Start throwing punches.
>Other (?)
Correction: Vikrama and Baron look to one another in wordless puzzlement

>>32970217
Nah. She can go hop on a train of dicks for all I care.

Assuming we know where it is.
