That is a very appropriate image, and a very good comic.

>>33152814
It's my running theory that it's just a bit of psychological damage from too-intense training.

It represents the skills acquired during the times that were too bad for us to remember.

>>33152944
You should of known what kind of guy that anon was. You shouldn't have bothered talking to him in the first place.

Your bandages are changed and cleaned in the morning, everyone eats breakfast in a tentative peace. At the Araraki's return, Nala doesn't even look at her. You're a bit hesitant to give any word either, especially after the Araraki's words last night.

The dome is evil... You still don't understand why she'd say that when she can't possibly know anything about your home but... You remember the feel of her spirit. Earnest. She really just wants the best for others, no matter what she says.

It's strange, and there's still something of a lingering turmoil within you, especially after last night.

A dew hangs on the air, a cool and tepid wind blowing down into the dugout. The Araraki sits out of the way, holding her bladed staff across her lap, legs crossed and apparently meditating.

Marine eyes the girl, and you feel kind of awkward about the whole situation. The blood on the Araraki's dress is gone, she must've washed it off, but she still reeks of it. Now that you think of it, she almost smells like a Narga-Kage.

The monster's corpse rests outside, Nala says that she's going to report its death to the village.
Nothing else much to do but heal until the ship's ready to leave.

Don't let her derail you into conversations about the dome. We think it's good, she thinks it's bad, but right now we're trying to find out what she was up to.

We still need to figure out a way to find out about that index thing. I don't even know where to start on that.

>>33153085

It's not like it's some cursed item you can just toss away. It's literally PTST + a split personality.
Unless people want to get a psychic to extract it, something people were extremely adverse to, then it's going to be extremely slow to get rid of, if it can be removed at all.

Getting back to the dome is going to be an extremely slow process but you don't see anybody advocating giving up and living in the smolder guild for rest of Ceru's life.

>>33153387
Mentioning it would be better if it's abstracted. We don't want to give away too much direct information to someone who might be hostile, but we do want to at least make her think a little more favorably of the dome's people.

>>33153488
It was more that people disliked the idea of getting anywhere near a psychic, much less them doing brain surgery on us.

I wonder how the araraki would react to a celadon ranger?

Kinda hope she/it goes to the Dome with us just see what happens

>>33153860
Horribly. Or very well.

>>33153860
Here's the thing that SHOULD be on Cerulean's mind.

The Araraki wants us to stay here from the dome, but if she knew what we really were, what we volunteered to have done to us, she'd want us as far from here as possible, if not dead.

>>33153898
True enough.
She must never know.

>>33153957
No one must know.

Especially not Jojo.

>>33154002

I don't want to scare away my choice for husbando but we can't keep the wool over his eyes forever, especially if we take him to the Dome.

I hope they don't dissect him.

As you slowly chew a juicy sitrus berry, your eyes linger on the Araraki after Nala's departure for the village. She gave the lizard a harsh eye and told Marine to watch after the injured, you and jojo, but you think she may have been talking to the Araraki too.

“Hey.” You say, coughing a bit as the sitrus juices run down your throat. A bit sweet, yet sour. You see her shift, acknowledging your word, “Where'd you go last night?”

“Yes. I wonder.” Marine chimes in, her usual giddy, platonic smile.

Araraki snorts a little bit, turning her head to the side, the shadows of her mask amplified by the morning light seeping into the Hunter's Barrow. “We... ah... We scared. Hide.”

“In the wood?” You raise a scrutinizing eyebrow. No, that doesn't sound right at all.

“Y-yes. Wood safe. We like wood.”

“There are monsters in the wood.” You scrunch up your eyebrows, “How is that any safer?”

“If she's scared, she's scared Ceru. She's just an Araraki.” Kurojo pops an oran into his beak. You were happy to find them out here too... Something familiar. These ones are bigger and juicier though.

The Araraki doesn't respond to that, she just sits there, keeping to herself. You get up, and Marine's at your side to help you walk right away,”Hey, hey. Easy Ceru... You're still hurt pretty bad.”

“I thought it was white.” You tease.

“Yeah...”

“Thanks Marine.” You say and she clears her throat,”Ultra-Marine.”
She smiles.

You sit down across from the Araraki, on the dirt floor, conscious of your damage as you do so,”It's alright, you can tell us. If we're still going to work together, we need to know what we're doing and why. We were counting on you and you went of by yourself. We have a right to know.”

Kurojo oversees the conversation, but doesn't participate, instead sipping at some water from a cup.

“C'mon...” You lean over, wincing at the pain inside your body, reaching out to the Araraki with your good arm, for her shoulder. She lets you touch it, even if she does shift away just a little.

“We tell you.” You begin to brighten up, “If White stays. No Glass City.”
You frown.

“No. You need to tell us. If you don't want Nala to know, we won't tell. Is that okay?”

She shifts a little bit her scaled hand finding itself at a place beneath her robe. “Busywork. We do... No tell. We tell.”

“Okay.”

She lifts her robe, showing you a swollen sac belted to her waist. You'd estimate that it must weigh at least a couple kilos given by how it sways and impacts with her shifting. There's three.
“We took.”

“What's in there?” You ask, and she unhatches the bronze clasp, revealing an egg that seems to swallow light like a black hole. It's as dark as the Narga-Kage's hi- “You didn't.”

“We did.”

“What was that blood?”

She clasps it shut again, this time she doesn't answer, and looks away again.

>Your fault for ever starting in the first place
but I'm "a guy". The only thing I started was suggesting an OOC choice.

“Is that bad or something?” You whisper, trying to look her in the eye. It's hard to get a read on her with that mask... Her Aura's pretty stable. Earnest as always, well meaning. Though a bit fearful... just not of you.

She looks to Jojo, inclining her head further as she readjusts herself with the eggs on her belt. “Kahkori like to smash.”

“And those eggs should be. I saw what kind of monster it becomes. They kill Kahkori.”Jojo interjects, yet doesn't rise from his seat. He's in no condition for fighting anyway.

“Child should live.” The Araraki defends, shuffling you off as she moves to a more defensive position. “For balance.”

“What are you going to do with it?” Kurojo's eyes narrow, his beak halfway open into a grimace.

She doesn't answer,”Sorry. Mistake.” She casts her robes over, and begins to leave.

“Wait!” Marine cries out, reaching out for the Araraki. She stands before everyone now, looking between the halted lizard in her retreat and Kurojo. “Hey, they're just eggs right? Maybe they want to keep them as pets or something. Maybe she wants to sell that. I mean, monsters are dangerous but it's no reason for us to fight, right? We're all alive and everything.. A bit scuffed up, but, we're alive. Isn't that fine then?”

“That blood. What did you fight?” You ask the Araraki past Marine.

“...Mother.” She says and Kurojo's beak drops, eyes widening in surprise and disbelief.

“How.” He says. “How did you...”

The Araraki inclines her head lower again, only the top of her mask and hood available now. “Sorry. Mistake... Can... We keep?”

Just don't let those things grow up to be horrible murderers, araki.

And the only reason you're getting away with this is you soloed a full grown one.

Eggs are worth MAD hunter points, and since we didn't do much fishing or herb gathering or mining, we could use it to make up the difference.

Ask if the mother is dead and ask her for the location of the corpse.

>>33154563

We keep out of it.

>>33154595
Heh.

Kinda interested in having one too. It would be an interesting experiment, anyway.

>>33154675
That's inadvisable. If Nala knew there was a mother, she might suspect the nest. We don't know how much is known about the Araraki's culture, so it might make it difficult to hide the eggs.

>>33154675
Because double the dead bodies means double the loot.

Also, the Araraki should get some credit, even if her teamwork is lacking.

>>33154697
>so it might make it difficult to hide the eggs.
Which is what the Araraki wants to do.

Since being impartial is what we want to be here, the Araraki wouldn't agree to showing the nest if she thought it would hurt her chances of keeping the eggs hidden.

>>33154697
Technically, Nala would only know that it had a mate, not that they had laid eggs. And Smolders can't detect lies.

Also, how did the eggs not break when Nala tossed the Araraki around? Is she stashing them somewhere?

>>33154723
We could raise the subject.

Also one thing we should mention is that the Araraki should probably do something about the smell. Once Nala calms down, she might be able to sniff the eggs out.

Smolders have good noses, right?

>>33154731
>Technically, Nala would only know that it had a mate, not that they had laid eggs. And Smolders can't detect lies.

I have no idea what you're trying to say with that.

>>33154747
>Smolders have good noses, right?
I'll answer this one. They rely more on vision and hearing. Scent is something that they can't much use due to the fact that their homeland has effectively been a pile of ash for a rather long time.

do we even HAVE anywhere to keep the egg without the Smolders knowing?

>>33154859
You're right. I'll put in the question about the corpse.

But I need confirmation as to whether you ask for an egg or not.

>>33154832
I'd like to know where the mother is. Or, at least, her body.

Having one of the eggs would be cool too. Either as the dome's first foray into taming a dangerous creature. Or parts (in case that fails).

>>33154832
>[] Ask about the mother's corpse.
I definitely do not want one of those eggs, even if we could train one, it will be a GIANT pain in the ass. Even if we got through the incredibly hard obstacle course of keeping it hidden, managing to not get anyone killed, and getting it to listen to our commands, we would still have this huge fucking monster to take care of.

>>33154832

No asking for eggs.

>>33154832

>[] Ask for one of the eggs.

I'm thinking, the Araraki has 3 eggs, right? Ask her to split it between the 3 of us (her, Ceru + Marine, Kurojo). Kurojo can do as he wish with the egg. Smash it if he wants. Equality, you know?

>>33154832
>[] Ask about the mother's corpse.
So next time we have a Budakai beam battle we don't catch all the blowback on our main offensive tools

>>33154832
>[x] Ask for one of the eggs.

a pet would be a nice. Ceru could use more nice things in her life right now.

>>33154832
Eh, I don't really want to do either of those things.
The mother corpse would give away the araki's plans and, well, I don't know if we can actually raise one of these things.

>>33154832
I'll ask for the opposite of the eggs.

It's a retarded idea that will end terribly for us.

We're no Hiccup.

>>33154832

We'll, uh, probably need Marine to take the egg for us, though. Eggs and COLD don't work out that well together.

>>33154832
>[] Ask for one of the eggs.

The Araraki doesn't want Kurojo to smash the egg. And monsters do not make good pets. Especially not these guys.

>>33154941
>I don't know if we can actually raise one of these things.
It takes a village to raise a child. Lemony Snicket taught me that!

I guess the Rockets are kind of a village?

Well, if it hatches before we get to the Dome, we could kill it if it becomes troublesome.

>>[] Ask for one of the eggs.

Guys, it'll likely hatch before we return to the Dome.

That means we won't be able to take it with us, since our crew will object to its presence.

I'm pretty sure the Araraki doesn't even intend to domesticate them.

>>33154832
>>[] Ask about the mother's corpse.
Fun as it would be, we would have a hell of a time raising it, and it would just get turned into another ranger if we got it back to the dome.

>>33154969
>The Araraki doesn't want Kurojo to smash the egg. And monsters do not make good pets. Especially not these guys.
Well, I raised up giving Kurojo an egg (that he could smash if he wants) as a compromise to help settle whatever feelings he has about the Araraki keeping the eggs.

>>33154885
Hell no. It's just an excuse for terrible things to happen.

>>33154885
>>33154832

>[] Ask for one of the eggs.

You look at Kurojo and he returns your gaze,”Ultramarine's right. We shouldn't be fighting about this.” Turning to the araraki, “What about the Mother's body? Is there anything that we could salvage?”

The Araraki shakes her head,”Mother not dead. Injured. She look for us last night.” The Araraki gives a tired sigh, settling down a little bit.

“You... didn't kill it.” Kurojo settles down a little bit, his state of belief mended, “If she'd taken one down alone... But to be able to run from it...”

“We asked trees.” She fiddles with her fingers nervously, “They helped. Here is good. Like old home.” There's a bit of loss in her words, but she doesn't follow up there. You respect that.

“So, you... Last night?” It dawns on you. “You were... running from it?”

The Araraki nods. “If we stay. She find. No more problem. That why mistake. Sorry.”

Maybe the females of the species are different in some meaningful way that causes them to not murder sapients. Still worth asking about.

>>33155101
seconding >>33155147, but we'll need Nala. Are we hiding the eggs from her?

I really don't want to keep an egg. I mean, if we want a pet, we can go back and get a rathalos

>>33155148
We're not getting one. It would do nothing but cause us problems and put us in "Araraki+Egg vs -other group-" situations.

>>33155172
Euthanasia for Eevees still happen. We kill monsters and have smashed eggs before.

>>33155172
>>33155205

>>33155148 here
I definitely DO NOT want an egg, I just think final destination voting is necessary to parse through the incoming arguments.

Wanting a vote on the subject doesn't mean I'm voting yes.

>>33155172
"Ideals and truth". It would be a good lesson.

That said, we can handle a cub.

>>33155147
our team isn't exactly in any condition to be fighting another one of these, even if it's wounded too.
Best thing to do is inform the guild and have them send a fresh team.

>>33155209
But there's still a reason that some Eevees manage to involve. Putting down your pet is hard.
Especially when it has near-sentient intelligence.

>>33155232
It's not gonna be a cub forever, it's gonna change into a ruthless murder machine that can't be reasoned with.

>>33155270

>>33155232
It's a completely unnecessary one because we're smart enough to know it would end horribly.

Stop being stupid.

>>33155101
>>33155255
And Nala doesn't have anymore traps or bombs.

So yeah, tell the villagers that there's another one still around.

>>33155275
And that means parts for the Dome.

>>33155275
Which goes with the "ideals and truth". Yeah, it'd be nice if it could be tamed or controlled, but if it can't, you gotta suck it up Old Yeller style.

>>33155319
We're not that coldblooded.

Metaphorically coldblooded.

Guys..

>>33155270
Would our Charm bonus apply for controlling the cub? That is, if it hatches before we reach the Dome?

>>33155356
would we get a bonus if it thinks we're its mother?

>>33155333
Except we have no reason to even try in the first place.

You don't need to encourage drama, Prof will provide.

>>33155356
To an extent, but it won't nullify all of the destructive things that it might do.
Then again, if you could fully tame it, you could have it hunt with you.

>>33155375
Man fuck you Prof.

This isn't How to Train Your Dragon.

>>33155270
>>33155356
I mean.

I COMPLETELY doubt that a newly hatched cub would have a charm above 10. And the creatures are sentient too (possibly sapient?).

>>33155375
>To an extent, but it won't nullify all of the destructive things that it might do.
Oh, I just mean in terms of reigning it in.

How big are the eggs anyway? Give us a scale.

>>33155292
She doesn't even really have her switchaxe anymore.

>>33155319
a) that would get IC vetoed and you know it, and
b) we would have to deal with explaining why it vanished to everyone WITHOUT giving away the implanting.

>>33155333
Everyone seems to have the memory of a fly here; ACTIONS GET VETOED IF THEY WONT WORK IC.
You can say how ceru is so tough and gruff and grim that she'd kill a hand raised animal, but prof will likely disagree with you.

Either way, it would be rare.

>A girl and her wyvern(?)

>>33155375
I'd rather take a rathalos, thank you very much. At least those could help us get back to the Dome. Even then, I'm highly hesitant on monster taming without the proper facilities, resources, and in a land we do not know.

Just leave the eggs to the araki with a strict warning that we'll feel just awful if this results in more deaths.

>>33155101
>Ask for an egg

Fuck it, having one of them as a pet will be aweome.

>>33155632
No it won't.

>>33155646
Fuck you. It'll end in tears.

>>33155349
Think of it as a morality pet. Like, a literal morality pet. Cute and cuddly while it's still young, but with the potential to be REALLY dangerous to everyone around it if it isn't raised well.

Hell, this could be easily applied as a metaphor for Ceru. Complete with the Rocket Mode thing. If Prof wanted to, he could easily tie in how the cub is raised with the resolution of Ceru's own issues.

>>33155660
Well not your love. you don't have any in you.

>>33155660

Quite the contrary.

They will probably be born with very low charm, and Ceru has auto-win against that. We can sue this to easily train it to obey every of Ceru's commands.

>rasing a pet monster is going to be a piece of cake! gimmie the eggs!

I can't wait to hear all the screams of railroading, and "not enough foreshadowing" when this inevitably turns to shit and we have to pay out the ass to deal with it.

How much is it going to take to beat the winmore attitude out of the people here?

>>33155660
>>33155693
And before you get angry about not being able to completely suppress all of the cub's destructive tendencies

>>33155667
puts it quite nicely.

>>33155693
Charm or tenacity is used. Whichever is higher.

>>33155667
It is a ghost monster that never makes a noise and has knives all over it.

It is not a morality pet.

>>33155375
Don't fucking do it.

Ignore their stupidity and give Cerulean enough brains in her head to know how horribly this whole thing will turn out.

>>33155712
>>33155714
There we go. It's a literal "tame the beast" character arc.

>>33155731

>>33155667
>>33155688
>>33155693
that's all well and good, but do you guys have ANY idea what you're getting into?

The only lodgings we have is the Smolder Guildhall. We need to protect it from Smolders and Kahkoris who want to kill it, thieves, itself, AND everyone it attacks if we ever critfail at controlling it. We don't have a steady supply of food. We don't have any information on its behavior patterns. We won't be with it 24/7 because we'll be on hunts. A PLAN, SHOW US A GODDAMN PLAN.

>>33155739
With the conclusions being she either kills it herself and learns more about the harshness of the world, offers it up to the Rockets to be dissected, or actually succeeds in taming it.

>>33155743
It's not a majority. You're the idiots that allow terrible things to happen with your shortsighted greed.

Consuming Erebus, kissing a guy you just met awake, when will you learn?

Oh god downvoting the 'train a narga kage' idea. It's retarded, it can be put to much better use back at the Dome for gene splicing and SCIENCE

>>33155758
This.

You jackasses think that Prof will just bend over backwards to allow whatever idiotic idea pops into your heads, it's the exact same kind of foolishness that had us try hunting the Nargacuga in the first fucking place, which we were clearly unqualified to do.

>>33155714
I thought it was if either stat was really low.

>>33155761
You're implying quite a bit of an overlap there Mr.
Besides, dran has -WAY- more greedy players than SQ, and at least people learned a little in SQ.
AoPH's players would have tried again

>>33155758
Backpack. Kurojo had one for supplies.

>>33155790
Opposed by best of.

On a practical front, we don't even have a house right now.
Logistically we can't really keep the thing.

>>33155758

Depends on how long the egg will take to hatch. Considering Ceru is cold, it might take quite some time.

It will probably never leave her ide, and if anyone got a problem with that, they will have to go past her first.

>>33155802
...So now we're gonna be bringing it along with us all the time?

Stop being stupid.

And don't fall for his lies. At no point is he saying it'll be easy or even realistically doable. He's giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves with.

>>33155809

I dunno. I think the smolders would think that's actually pretty boss, and see how things will develop.

Then, they will begin hunting for eggs too, and try to copy Cerulean's success, and soon the Nar-Kage will become an endangered species and disappear.

>>33155802
>Backpack
you want to keep a monster that dangerous in a backpack. A monster that needs to have free space to move around to play/exercise. A monster that Kurojo is rightly afraid of and would be justified in attempting to kill.

>>33155814
you want to carry around a fragile object with us on hunts. When anybody can just pop in the camp and smash it while we fight.

Eh, take an egg, see how things will turn out. It it turns our bad, it will be just a baby, way easier to kill than the ones Ceru fought.

>>33155842
We are NOT the first people here to think of taming monsters.

The fact that there hasn't been any success that we've seen should tell you something.

And no, I don't think the fact that we're implanted with a sister species to the Nargacuga makes much of a difference in the matter.

>>33155842
Oh, the practice of taking monsters as pets has happened before, I'm sure. Kurojo thought to steal an egg before so he'd have his own flying mount.

It's the idea of having something as dangerous as a Nar-kage child around that's problematic. They're not Evil, though, so that gives some leeway.

>>33155814
Yes, people going past, or say, THROUGH her, is a MAJOR CONCERN I have.

I swear everyone acts like we're a living god who can never fail.
It's to the point where I suspect half the quest is -trying- to cause as much shit as possible either in an attempt to crash it, or just so they can have fuel to bitch at Ygg with.

>>33155862
...Not emotionally you imbecile.

That right there is why the whole idea is retarded. You're not trying to think things through in-character at all.

>>33155814
You should know when to stop responding. Especially when someone is spazzing out this hard.

>>33155868
Do you enjoy coming off as paranoid?

>>33155886
Are you seriously implying that >>33155758
is spazzing out for asking you stupid, -stupid- fucks to think things through?

“The Mother's alive? Shouldn't we do something about it?” You begin to rise until you're aware of your own condition and painfully aware that the team is in no condition to fight one of those things, let alone while it's mad and in it's own terrain.
“What SHOULD we do?” You ask everyone, though primarily Jojo. He's good for answers.

His brow furrows, and he rubs at a tusk in contemplation, likely some gesture from his old man. You've seen him do this before. “We should tell the village. Or at least the guild. If we tell the guild they can send in a fresh team.” With a sigh, he shakes his head, “We're going to need longer to recover, right?”

You nod, sorely touching your mutilated, yet healing arm. It's got some ways to go. Compound fractures, the flesh is still flayed to ribbons. You can feel it.

The four of you spend the remaining time recuperating and resting.

At some point, your mind wanders to the eggs. What the Araraki'll do to them, what she has planned... Maybe... “Could I have one... maybe?” You ask out of the blue, pointing at the Araraki's leather skirts,”An egg.”

“White. No.” Jojo states firmly, arm crossed under the injured.

The Araraki seems thoughtful,”Only if promise. You no go to Glass City.”

>>33155911

My final answer is 'no', but I'd like to say something a little more like 'I'll think about it' to the Araraki.

It's the best way to go.

>>33156042

Uh? Where did you get that from? I fully recognize that staying is the least desirable option, since it wouldn't be going back to the dome or refusing the egg, but I didn't want to lie out of paranoia; maybe she can sense lies too, somehow.

>>33155911
>Can't do that. Forget it.

>>33155985
>...can I have the cake and eat it too?
Technically, yes. BUT, you have to EARN it. You need a plan, and you need commitment.

>>33155886
I mean, I love the idea of a morality pet. I think a narga pet would be great. But it just won't work, not with the resources at hand, and not with Anons so lacking in commitment that they'll kill it and subject everyone to more SUFFERING without a second thought.

Besides, a narga won't help us get to the dome. It is a significant time investment without a large boon, like flying, and that's IF we succeed.

>>33156079
>Everyone's samefagging, it's the only way to keep these votes even somewhat fair.
Yeah. It was rather obvious with the people who kept voting against the eggs earlier.

But now the position is reversed since most people don't want to lie and compromise in this situation.

And here I am in the cozy position of being okay either way.

>>33156091

Actually, it's because we are here that it can work. The Guild will find it impressive and keep an eye on it, so if it goes berzerk it iwll be hunted. If it was int he dome, the eggs would have been broken on sight.

If that was their policy then the Araraki wouldn't be hiding it from Jojo. And having it be hunted is NOT an easy solution you unbelievable moron.

>>33156128
Who knows how the Guild will find it. Stop forcing the idea that they'll help out.

Not that I was against keeping the pet, but it's such a dumb idea to think the Guild would help out.

>>33156042

Are you trying to start proxy votewars to troll a quest?

>>33156146
Now? Yeah, sure.

But it's pretty clear that the ones voting against it before were samefagging pretty hard. It's pretty easy to read the patterns of voting.

>>33156142

This, pretty much. When Prof just plays off of us, it's good.

I play because I genuinely enjoy the story, care about the characters, want to influence the story in a good way, sometimes get stimulating discussion, and because I like and respect Ygg and a couple other Anons who I will never be able to name.

“I can't do that. You know that.” You admit, with a labored sigh. Marine gives you a sidelong look, smiling but not saying anything.

The Araraki turns away again. No one else really talks after that. You and Kurojo take a nap, letting your bodies recover.

It's later into the noon when you awake and Nala's returned. You report to her about the possibility of another Narga-Kage. She says that the Guild will take care of it. The contract was only for one.

Kurojo seems to dislike that to an extent, though he doesn't say anything. He's well aware of the score.

After a few days, your arm's well enough to move a bit, if not a bit stiffly, and Kurojo's left with a blot of scar-tissue, though the bone inside still troubles him, as does his broken blade.

“It was too long... Maybe if I had it reforged into two swords?” He muses about as he looks at the pieces.

The five of you board, and the Araraki's maintained her silence. Nala's resolved to not tell the village. The Araraki had left the hunter's camp every night to give the Narga-Kage a chase. She's seemed notably tireless... You also haven't seen her eat or drink anything. Ever.

Without word from the village of further attacks you embark with the same captain that brought you to this island, the monster's spoils down in the cargohold.

Nala stays below just like before. Out of curiosity, you went to check on her, and you found her purging into an iron bucket, briskly carried away by a ferrine, to be dumped somewhere...
She looked sick as an Eevee. Did you do anything to help her?

>Insert.

>>33156661
Bollocks, lost trip.

>>33156542
So in your case, the people acting like assholes are the ones who DON'T want to lie to a pseudo-friend to take the egg of an extraordinarily dangerous predator that we have no means of housing, feeding, or raising?

>>33156661
Backrub

>>33156661
Do backrubs really work?

>>33156661
Rub her back.

>>33156661
cold massage. I assume this is what happens when they overuse the fire breath.

>>33156661
Secret cerulean quarter technique:
Backrub!

>>33156684
>>33156691
>>33156695
>>33156705
>>33156709
Oh god at least ask her first so she doesn't set us on fire from the shock.

>>33156661
>>33156684
>>33156691
>>33156695
You DO know to ask before, right?

>>33156705
Sea sickness, maybe?

Ask Nala if she was this sick the first time we rode on the same boat as her. Was she hiding it before or is her sickness right now due to something else?

>>33156722
>>33156731
well of course you ask first.

>>33156722
>>33156661
yes, yes, of course we're asking. It's not like Ceru is socially inept, RIGHT YGG?

>>33156722
>>33156731

she's too busy throwing up vomit to throw up fire

we were so close to being unanimous on this... I can't remember the last time

>>33156661
>seduce her

Trust me on this one, guys. I have a good feeling.

>>33156722
>>33156731
You know, I really should have presumed it'd not go without saying, then to clarify:

Tell her you know a cure for seasickness, confirm her willingness to accept, and then commence the backrubs.

>>33156661
Oh, and do ask her first if our coldness was affecting her negatively like this. Since she presumably had to spend more time around us back at the village.

>>33156639
I've both saved that pic and seen it before. In fact I've written an essay for my sociology class about 4chan that was inspired by that pic.

I try not to dislike people that disagree with me, but I really get angry when people that resort to logical fallacies and namecalling instead of actual arguments.

>>33156672
I voted for not taking the egg, and I didn't vote to lie. In fact, this is me >>33156286

If you automatically assume that I'm talking about YOU and those who agree with YOU when I mention assholes in this quest, you may want to take a long introspective look at yourself and your behavior.

>Did you do anything to help her?
>Did

Ask her? Doesn't matter if it already happened. THis vote is retroactive.

>>33156672
>>33156820
>If you automatically assume that I'm talking about YOU and those who agree with YOU when I mention assholes in this quest, you may want to take a long introspective look at yourself and your behavior.
I saw this punchline coming a mile away.

>>33156661
BACKRUBS!! DO IT NOW!!!!

>>33156848
It was pretty obvious. Which is why I wrote it.

>>33156661
I don't know what we can actually do to help, so I guess
>backrub
is the best I can think of.

>>33156661
My family always offers me delicious food when I'm throwing up because I don't know they want me to suffer or something.
So do that.

You gave Nala a backrub on the ship. She was skeptical at first, but you told her that it was a remedy you learned back at the village. She had to take her armor off, and you could see how scarred she was. The guild mark was emblazoned upon her shoulder, like yours.

As you went to work, the two of you talked and you felt like you got to know her a bit better.

You asked about her scars and she had a story for each one.

A claw-shaped mark going across her shoulderblade was from a scuffle with a male from when she was younger.
Starburst marks across her back were from an accident with an explosive, the shrapnel was painful to get out.
And she talked about some of her adventures, halting at certain sensitive bits.

You get the feeling that she's a little regretful about something, though you can't quite place what.

She handled the rest of the ride better than before, though not by much. She still stayed below deck.


When Raguna city comes into view, you can tell something's going on. It's been just over a week, and it appears transformed.

High up on the cliff where Lord Hao's estate looks over the city, there are bright and colorful decorations(moreso than usual) and the dock's got a great many ships gathering, filling the pier to the brim, many dockworkers and other tradesman running around, preparing for something big and grand.

When the ship comes in, someone on the dock runs off quickly, leaping their way from the docks to buildings and disappearing into the city.

What was that about?

>[] Wait on the ship for a while, make sure the Narga-Kage gets off.
>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.
>[] Check in with the Smithy.
>[] (Other)

I hope Hao isn't pissed about us lying to his servant....

>>33157084
>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.

get the paperwork done

>>33157084
Let's go report to the guild hall.

Reporting mission complete is important.

I do wonder what that guy was about though.

>>33157084
>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.

>>33157084
>>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.
then
>[] Check in with the Smithy.
the rest of the armor (which we nearly died+lost team members getting) will probably be done once the paperwork is.

its gonna be some kind of festival or parade where Hao cruises for booty and picks up bitches isn't it? I don't want Ceru to be a consort outside of a pastebin fic

>>33156142
JIDF please go.

>>33157084
>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.
So we've got: Nala, Kurojo, Hao's assistant, Marine, Araraki, or someone else hired by Hao. Any other leads?

>>33157160
You're 2 hours late pol. you let everybody down

>>33157084
Damn that's incredibly suspicious.

>worst case scenario
Hao is pissed an looking to publicly fuck with us at some kind of weird festival.

>best case scenario
Hao is trying to butter us up with festival. Will probably try to fuck with us (literally or metaphorically) anyway, but probably in a more diplomatic way.

>[] Check in with the Smithy.
Send marine to handle some equipment requisition

>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.
We should probably go do this

>[] (Other)
Have Jojo use his bird huntsman powers to follow the suspicious dude that ran off.

>>33157084
>[] Head straight to the Guild Hall to report.

Although the fact that the first one is even an option gives me bad vibes man.

I'm gonna guess... Hao's brother is in town.

>>33157201
>Send marine to handle some equipment requisition

Her Raguna isn't that good, though. We'd be better off sending Kurojo.

>>33157246
so they're going to try to double team us?

>>33157084
Hey cool, a holiday or festival of some kind.

I hope it's not a gay pride festival for that big gay bird.

>>33157269
I think I remember hearing his brother was more the serious type.
