“Me, you, Trove, Judi, Lilac, and who ever the <49erS> choose.”

“Ah. So, where are they?”

It suddenly dawns on you that you and Lilac were the only ones who knew about this plan. “I'll... go call them now.” You open up your friends list and scroll through the few names on it. Selecting Judicature you hit the call button.

RI-

“Hello?” Answers Judi's voice.

“Hey. We need you to come with us to talk to King Aubron. Aubron? Oberon? Uubuubuu? Coo-coo? We need you to help us talk to the king of the area.”

“O-Oh.”

“You're not busy are you?”

“No! I- Where are we meeting?”

“Just outside the inn we-”

“I'll be there in a second.”

CLICK.

You pause for a moment, somewhat surprised by how easy it was to get her to come along. You then just shrug and go back to concentrating on your friends list, now selecting Trove.

RIN-

“Yarr! What be ye callin' me fer?”

“We're going to go talk to a crazy king. You in?”

“Yarr. I be tryin' to perfect me booze makin'.”

“But, Trove, it's going to be an adventure!”

There is a pause, and then, “Yarr. I'll bring the booze.”

“Alright. Meet us at the inn.”

CLICK.

You put your hands to your hips. Another task accomplished. You make a great leader, it's obvious to you now.

You hear a crash of glass above you. You turn around just in time to see Judi land next to you, a rain of glass shards falling behind her.

“I'm here!” She says.

You blink at her for a while. “Was that necessary?”

“Uh- I- I didn't- W- I'm sorry!” Her face is a deep red now. “I don't know what I was thinking, I'm so, so sorry!”

You shrug, “Ah, who cares. You're here now, that's what matters.”

“O-oh. Okay.” Her face is still red, but she seems to have calmed down.

The only person missing now was the pirate. “Now all we need is-”

>>33432117
“Yarr!” You hear behind you. “Two levels of brewin' to make it, but I did it.”

You turn to see Trove carrying a large barrel with him.

Canis covers his mouth, eyes watering. He asks with awe in his voice, “Is that-?”

“Yarr.” The tank says with a nod.

“And it's filled with-?”

“Yarr.” He says with another nod.

Canis wipes away a tear. “It's so beautiful.” The wolf-fang then takes two steps towards the pirate, placing a hand on Trove's shoulder he says, “You are the best pirate. Ever.”

The brewer gives a knowing nod. “Yarr.”

“Uh.” Judi asks, “Are we taking the BRO or are we going by cart?”

You think it over and realize you don't know enough about the area to really tell what you should do, but you do know that Lilac does.

You focus on your friends list one last time and call Lilac.

RING

RIN-

“SHHHHHHHHH~!” You hear over the phone.

You whisper, “Hang over?”

She gives a groan of agreement. “Mmmmmmmrrrrr.”

“Okay. I'll head over to you and give you a cure.”

“Mmmmmrrr.”

You hang up with a CLICK and start heading off to Lilac's shop-home.

Upon reaching the door, a very miserable looking Lilac answers the door.

“Cure, please.” Is all she says.

You wave your mace and bathe the dwarf in blue light.

She touches her head, her demeanor has completely changed back to her normal self. “Wow. It really does cure hang overs.” She thinks for a moment, “We should probably experiment with this.”

“Later.” You say, “We need to meet with King Coo-Coo and I don't know how long it would take to get there by cart.”

You hear Tabula's voice behind you, “Six hours by horse.” You turn to see Tabula, LastDerogation, and Frankenstien. “But we could probably make it in two with your steam tank.”

>>33432140
The leader of the <49erS> speaks up,“Sorry for the intrusion, but, if you have the room, I would like to go with you to meet King Aubron.”

You knew this would happen and it's best to stay on good terms with the <49erS> and what better way than to get chummy with their leader? You nod and say, “Sure. You're welcome to come along.”

“Good.” Derogation says with a nod, “So, how will we be reaching the castle?”

If you take the BRO you'll be there before noon and will have plenty of time to talk with the king, but if something goes down they might try to steal the BRO from you.

>>33432168
wooo best quest of the week is back
have the bro tow a cart behind it to almost the castle, then have it wait nearby in case we need rescue, while we take the cart the last 20 minutes or so to the castle

this way we get speed, safety, and an escape incase things go to hell

>>33432462

teach the 49er how to drive on the way in, bc we aint letting takashi be dumb with a tank

“Both.” You say with a nod. “We'll put the cart on the BRO and take it close to the castle, but then we'll hide it and take the cart the rest of the way. That way we can get there quickly without chancing the king stealing the BRO or anything like that.”

The leader of the <49erS> nods as well. “That is quite a brilliant plan. I like it.”

You look over the Elf's stats while he talked. LastDerogation: A 90 Druid/ 90 Harvester. With such a powerful healer going with you, there was probably nothing to worry about, unless the assassins could somehow one-shot you. It really depends on what level they were. Even then, that was only if something went wrong. Certainly nothing would go wrong as long as the king wasn't too insane. You'll need someone to drive the thing and someone to defend it against wandering mobs.

“We should get Aideen and Takeshi as well.” You say, “We should probably teach Aideen how to drive on the way there that way we can make a daring and action-packed escape when we leave!”

“Action-packed?” Derogation inquired.

“Yeah. The tank will drive up to the castle and then we'll jump. Then Aideen will put the thing into max speed and we'll zoom off just before the castle explodes!” You use hand gestures to denote the manner in which the castle will explode.

“Well, hopefully it won't come to that.”

“Yes, it would be a shame if that happened, but if it did, then we'll look like bad asses.”

Derogation looks at you for a while before saying, “Are you sure you don't want to join us? You sound like you'd fit right in.”

“No, no. I've got my own plans. Maybe when my guild grows we can merge or something.”

The harvester shrugs, “Maybe.”

>>33433375
You turn to Canis, who is swooning over Troves barrel. “Hey!” You shout to get his attention, “Get Aideen. She's going to be driving us to the castle.”

“You're right!” Canis shouts, “It would be terrible if I drink all this whiskey without her!” He pauses, “But where are we going to get the cigars?” He waits there for a couple of minutes before he looks over to you. “Oh, right.” And he runs off.

You look back to the friends list. It seems like the UI trapped in your head was getting quite a use today. You select Takeshi and hit call.

RI-

“I have been waiting, Ambrosis, and I accept your offer of a rematch.” You hear the not-samurai say.

“What? No. Get to the BRO.”

“I am already here.” He says, “I predicted this would be our battleground.”

“No. It's not. I'm not dueling you again. Just... Stay there and don't touch anything.”

“Yes. I see. The Samurai Code states that-”

CLICK. You hung up on him, not wanting to hear any more of the samurai code.

Derogation speaks up, “Anything else you need to do before we leave?”

[ ] “Oh, yeah. Let me attach a True Lever to the gate.”
[ ] “Oh yeah, I need to find that map guy and pay him back.”
[ ] “Nah, let's get on the BRO and head out.”

“Well, first thing's first. I'm going to go put levers on the town portal.” You announce.

Derogation raises and eyebrow at you. “Does that do anything?”

“Maybe.” You say, “It might reactivate them, it might destroy them. They aren't working now, so there's no reason not to.”

The elf shrugs, “I guess you have a point there.”

You walk off, having nothing else to say. You travel to the massive stone gate, it could be seen above the skyline of the city quite easily. People must have given up on it long ago as no one is even paying attention to it anymore. You walk up the stone stairs, step by step you reach ever closer to the base of the circle. You pull one of your True Levers out of the bag and attach it to the portal: You only have two left. You try to pull it down, but it does not budge, not very surprising. You look back up to the stone structure. You're not even sure if this would work, but making it happen is better than standing around wondering if it will work.

You sigh and turn around. “Anyone seen an old man who sells maps!?” You shout, “Lookin' for an old man who sells maps!” You go about the town shouting this over and over again until a friendly Lander points you to a small cottage in the shadow of one of the mountains.

>>33434264
Unlike the wood and brick that made up the other buildings, this one was just made of warped and degrading wooden planks. Moss grew on the roof next to a large hole. You take a step up to the door and knock, unfortunately when you tough the door the mold infested wood disintegrates into a pile of dirt.

“Sorry!” You shout into the shack.

You peer inside and see a humanoid figure in the dark. With the mountainous shadows obscuring all light from entering, your only choice is to cast “Bug Light!” which you just did. Green orbs with grumpy faces appear and light up the room.

The figure is the old man in shape, but his entire body is entombed by teeth. You can't help but compare this figure to the pictures of the tree man you saw on the internet so long ago, but it was more like a statue made of teeth wearing the old man's clothes.

You shake your head. “NOPE!” You push your hand into your bag and pull out some gold. You launch the gold at the figure which collapses into a pile of cloth and teeth. “NOPE!” You turn around and go running from the cottage.

“NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!”You yell, running all the way back to the city. You see the BRO with the cart on the deck, two horses just lazily staring off into space. You climb up the ladder of on the side, head still shaking. “NOPE, NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!”

When you reach the deck Canis is the first one to spot you. “You okay?” He asks.

“NOOOOOOPE~!!” You respond.

“You wanna talk about it?”

“NOPE!”

“You ready to go?”

“Yeah.” You say with a nod. “We should just get out of here. In fact, we should have been gone a while ago.”

“O-okay.” It is quite obvious to Canis that you are spooked for some reason, but he does not pry. “We're heading out then. Tabula! We're heading out!”

You can hear the flames of the summon beneath the cloth separating the deck and the engine room.

“So, who's driving?” You ask.

“Aideen.” Canis says, “Judi's showing her how. They said you wanted that.”

You nod, “No, yeah, that's right.” You take a breather to calm your nerves. The BRO comes to life with a quick jerk forward before its movement smooths out and soon your group leaves through the north gate, heading for Castle Sunset.

“I understand now.” You hear Takeshi say.

>>33435221
You sigh. “What do you understand?” You turn to the assassin behind you.

“Because I lost the duel to you, I must prove myself worthy of fighting you. It is the samurai way.”

You are completely baffled by his statement. You can't even think of anything to say. No sentence you can think of could possibly encapsulate the absolute stupidity of Takeshi right now. You can only turn and walk away.

You open the door to the driver's cabin and walk inside and are greeted by the two girls singing and bopping their heads back and forth.

“We had an elegant craft!
“She was rigged fore and aft!
“And oh, how the wild winds drooooove her!
“She withstood several blasts, and had twenty seven masts!
“And we called her the Emerald Rooooover!”

You quietly just sat down and listened to the two sing.

“Well we had five million bags of the best Emerald rags!
“We had six million barrels of stones!”

“We had seven million sides of old blind horse's hides!
“We had eight million barrels of bones!”

“We had nine million hogs, ten million dogs!
“Eleven million barrels of pooooooorter!”

“We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails
“In the hold of the Emerald Roooooover!”

You could tell that Aideen was a much better singer than Judi, but Judi was improving. Slowly, though.

When the two are finally done you begin clapping, which causes Judi to jump. She spins around and spots you. “H-how long have you been there!?” She shouts.

“Since the song began, I think?” You respond. “You were really good.”

“R-really?” She asks.

“Yeah!”

“You're just saying that, aren't you?”

“No, you've improved!”

She beams, “Really!?”

“Well, maybe not a lot, you've improved a little.”

“Oh...” She looks downtrodden.

“But you've improved, and that's the important part!” You say with a nod, “Not to mention what are you letting me upset you like that? You like singing and that should be the important part! Who give a shit about what I think?”

She mumbles something in response. “...want...to...” Is all you can make out.

“Something wrong?” You ask.

“No. I... I guess I should just keep singing.”

“That's the spirit!” You respond, “What should we sing next?”

Aideen responds, “How about the Lady Leeroy?”

“I have a better idea!” You cry out, “We're singing Protomen now!”

>>33436787
“I don't-”

“My father worked the mines!” You sing, “Till the day it took his life!”

“It stole him from his only son!
“And it stole him from his wife!

“And I swore upon his grave!
“Some day I!
“Would make things right!

That his how the rest of the trip went as the BRO raced up north. Aideen drove the machine into a small cave, the perfect hiding spot, and certainly safe with Tabula and Takeshi there to protect it.

Your group unloads the cart and horses and leave the BRO behind. Judi and Derogation are up front, as he requested the spot, and you, Canis, Lilac, and Trove are in the back.

“So...” You try to break the awkward silence, “Derogation, how'd you get your guild to be so... productive?”

“Well, we were originally just harvesters trying to make money off of just selling crafting components, but then someone pointed out that we could make an even larger profit if we actually made things out of what we were selling, so we started recruiting people with the production subclass. That's around the time I met Tabula. I heard he was in a bar fight with a nun, but I'm not too sure if that's true. It's in that gray area between too crazy to have happened and just crazy enough to be believable.”

“Yeah, he told me that story.” You say, “Sounded real enough to me.”

“Well, anyway, we get too many crafters, so we start recruiting more harvesters, but then we have too many harvesters so we start recruiting crafters. Twenty years later we have so many people in the guild we had to start recruiting people on other servers to join us.”


“I see the castle.” Judi interrupts.

>>33436787
Damnit, I wanted us to sing The Witch of the Westmoreland! Aideen would love that song.

>>33436807
You stand up and peer over the horizon to see a massive white castle which glittered in the sun. Four spires on the sides, each coming to a point like a spike. The walls of the place swooped out of the main building like a tentacled creature trying to defend itself. In the center of the main building was a circular stain glass window depicting a man being given a crown and scepter by a golden man and blue man, most likely a representation of the sky and sun Fae giving Lord Sol dominion over the land. Wow, you're actually amazed you remembered that.

The cart comes up to the main gate where a lone guard sits. He stares off into the distance until he notices you. He speaks in a lazy and memorized manner, “Please show proof of your invitation to the castle.”

You produce the letter for him, which he reads over. “Please hand over all your arms and armor.” He continues in his monotone, uncaring voice.

LastDerogation looks to his staff and then to the guard. “You wouldn't take an old man's walking stick, would you?”

“Sir, you are neither old nor is that a walking stick.”

“Well, you can't blame me for trying.”

You roll your eyes and strip yourself of armor along with Trove and Judi, but everyone else's armor armor was in no way distinct from actual clothing. You hand over your weapon and take a glance into your inventory. You still had that level 1 mace you couldn't sell. It might come in handy. It was certainly better than nothing.

Then you hear Judi say, “Oh, and here are some more.” She poured and waterfall of throwing knives out of her bag. She then began to pull knives off of her bandolier, placing each of them into the hands of the guard. She then places her hand into her bag, presumable searching her inventory. “That looks like all of them.”

The guard looks down at the large pile of knives, staves, and swords in front of him. “Uhh... I... I guess you can go in now.”

“Thank you.” Derogation responds before he walks into the castle, you and everyone else following behind. You didn't very much like this formation so you picked up the pace and got in front of him.

A man with a donkey head, finely dressed like a butler, stands at the end of the hall. “Please,” He says, “Follow me.”

The donkey-man leads you all to a large door which he then motions to you. “Please enter, I will return when the feast is ready.”

The group looks amongst themselves, not sure what to do, except for Lilac who barges into the room. The cold air of the room pushes past you and you can see the high desks of what would presumably be for the council of twelve circling the center of the room. Lilac walks into the center of the room and sits down on the dusty floor. After a couple of seconds she looks back to you all and says, “The timer doesn't start until everyone in the party is in the room.”

You shrug and sit down next to her. Judi quickly walks over and sits down on the other side of you. Soon everyone is in the room and the doors shut behind you all.

“Three hours.” You say, remembering the letter, “The hell are we going to do for three hours?”

“We could talk.” Judicature recommends.

>Then you hear Judi say, “Oh, and here are some more.” She poured and waterfall of throwing knives out of her bag. She then began to pull knives off of her bandolier, placing each of them into the hands of the guard. She then places her hand into her bag, presumable searching her inventory. “That looks like all of them.”

You lean over to Lilac and whisper, “So, you know anything about a teeth-man?”

She looks at you with absolute confusion. “I- Did you just say teeth-man?”

You put a finger up to your lip to get her to be quiet. “I was trying to find the man that gave me the map for the race, and when I found him he was... like... made of teeth.”

She whispers back, “Made of teeth!?”

“Right! It was really spooky! Is that a thing that happens in the game? Crazy tooth golem... making or whatever?”

“I've never heard of anything like that.”

“Not even like... a crazy teeth curse?”

“No. Never. It might be something form the South American server, but that's only because I don't know anything about it. I don't even know how it would get up here so quickly.”

This was not good. This only left you with more questions and none actually answered. Did Lilac forget something? Was it really from another server? If it was from another server, how did it get here? Why does it turn people into teeth? Are they still alive, just in tooth form or are they dead when turned into teeth? Were they actually turned into teeth or was the old man some kind of tooth monster that you saw in its tooth form!?

“NOPE!” You announce. You get up to walk away, but seeing the doors closed you sit back down again.

“Are you okay?” Judi asks.

You nod in response. “Oh, yeah. I'm perfectly fine.” You then lean over to Lilac and whisper, “This shit's too spooky for me.”

“Then change the subject.” She whispers back.

“What are you two whispering about?” The duelist inquirers.

“Lysander!” You shout, “So, that guy with the horse head was Lysander, right? From Shakespeare?”

>>33438973
Judicature interjects. “Wasn't Puck the one with the donkey head?”

Lilac comments. “It was Bottom.”

“No, no. It must be Lysander. Puck was the fairy.”

“Right! He was the fairy, that's why he has a donkey head!”

“It's Bottom.”

“I don-”

Lilac shouts, “The man's name is Nick Bottom!”

“Okay, okay!” You say, “It's Nick Bottom.” You suddenly grin. “Heh. Bottom.”

Lilac folds her arms, looking quite disgruntled.

You pat her on the head, pushing her hat down and over he eyes. You didn't mean for the that to happen, but both you and Judicature begin to share silent laughs while the dwarf is blinded. Lilac pulls the hat from over he eyes. You and Judi seal your laughs behind your hands.

“S-s-s-soo...” You say, trying not to laugh, “Did anyone s-s-sneak anything in?”

Judicature's laughter is instantly gone. “What do you mean sneak anything in?”

The druid speaks first, “I have my DPS staff.”

Canis went next, “I still have the drums from back in the sewers.”

Lilac adds, “I have the staff I was meaning to upgrade to.”

“Yarr!” Trove shouts, “I still have the whiskey!”

Canis cheers. “Thank God! I was worried about that barrel.”

“Well,” You say, “I still have the starter mace, so I've got that going for me.”

Judicature looks down, a depressed demeanor. “You mean... I'm the only one that didn't lie?”

Lilac gets up and lifts up a hand to pat the short haired blonde on the head. “It's okay.” Lilac consoles, “You'll think about it next time.”

“I don't think that's my point...” Judi complains.

>>33438992
Suddenly the doors burst open. “The feast is ready!” The donkey-man shouts. “Remember, you are not to speak while you are dining!” He leads the group off to the dinning hall where an expansive table with many chairs and dishes await them. Sitting at the head of the table is a man with a flowing golden beard and a bald head which balances and equally golden crown. The donkey-man sits you down first, next to you is Judicature, next to her is Lilac, next to her is Canis, next to him is Trove, and the last to be seated is the <49erS>. Before you are all kind of foods. Cooked meats and pastries and honeyed delights. Now if only any of it actually had any taste. You reach over to a turkey and rip off a leg with a wet SNAP. It certainly looked delicious.

You hear the clatter of silverware on plates and see Lilac has put her knife and fork in the shape of an X and has pushed her plate away. How peculiar.

You give them food, and they don't eat anything.

At least use sleight of hand to drop it into a bag of holding, and pretend to chew.

Eating fairy food is often a one-way ticket to being trapped forever or something similar, I think.

>What does Lilac really look like, anyways?
There's a version with glasses that I think looks better, but I have neglected ever mentioning glasses on her.

>>33439246
But that's not Tomoko at all though. Tomoko has NO sense of justice, and the only thing she has is a wrapped sense of reality, which is reflected on the title, "It's not my fault..."

I cannot feel bad for Tomoko because she pushes all these problem upon herself and is apathetic to everyone around her. Judi, on the other hand, is TOO empathetic to other people.

>>33439202
I'd love to see that.

>>33439248
Cool. What about everyone else, though? I mean, I'd love to have more descriptions of the girls for waifuing purposes, but I also want to know what, say, Canis looks like.

I remember reading somewhere (I think it was Dwight Swain) on how to introduce characters. Start with a good description of them, and keep a few trigger words that you try to alip in whenever they come up. It helps people remember and visualize characters.

>>33439248
Oh, wait. Remember the psychoactive food and hallucinations others described on this quest?

Guess what that is from?

>>33439248
So Judi - Average height, golden short hair, light skin tone? Golden full armor? Or just light armor? Strong defender build or lithe evader body habitus?

>>33439353
So, SQUATS N' OATS or more waifish? I like both. Oh god.

Welp, that is a quick, easy, and smart solution. Nice. Does that have a verbal component? Can we cast it without revealing that we have a mace, making everyone flip their shit?

Speaking of, I hope that NO TALKING rule is heavily relaxed considering that they'll all be tripping balls.

W-what!?

>>33439609
What if we could use a knife from the table? Technically it could be a weapon.

>>33439720
I think we have to have the Mace. It's probably a class restriction that we need a cleric weapon to cast spells, the same way Lilac needs her staff to cast hers.

Judi you straight edge faggot

>>33439760
Judi is a good girl!

>>33439760
It's a big part of her character. She's a goody-two-shoes Paladin type. She just doesn't get that that mindset isn't always the best, or safest way to do things.

>>33439800
>>33439776
I kinda want Judi to fall.

>>33439825
She already did. Haven't you been reading the thread?

>>33432117

>>33439825
There's no real god she can Fall out of favor with.

I suppose we can and really should recruit her into our guild. Then she wouldn't be as specifically bound by ethical strictures as she currently is.

But I think it was more of a case of her joining the guild to help people, than the guild forcing her to help people.

She's a good girl. It's who she is.

You bring the drumstick close to your mouth and pretend to take a bite out of it, but you factually do not. You look over to Lilac who spots you taking a fake bite and not-chewing it. She sighs and shakes her head. You rotate the meat so the part where would have been a bite is showing. You point to emphasize the fact that you factually did not take a bite from the turkey. Lilac notices this and gives you a nod with a thumbs up.

That is when you feel someone rubbing your arm. You look down to see Judi rubbing her fingers along the sleeve of your now-armorless clerical robes. You look up to Lilac who only offers you a shrug and a silent sigh. You look back to Lilac to see her now rubbing her head on your sleeve. You put a finger under her chin and guider her head to look at you. That is when you notice her eyes dilated and her mouth forming a goofy smile, complete with a trickle of saliva coming out of the side.

You swipe your hand in front of her eyes and she opens her mouth in awe as if your hands were some kind of divine figure or an epiphany made manifest. You swipe your hand again and she covers her mouth with her hand. It was like she had just seen the most amazing thing in the world and can't do anything but weep at its magnificence.

That is when you notice your best friend remove his brown leather coat and instead dance dance upon the table, black pants only. That is, until he decides that the pants are equally as bad.

Trove cradles the barrel in his muscular embrace and begins to slow dance with it, leaning it against his faded red coat and rubbing his black beard upon the wooden hide.

You glance over to the black-clad druid to see him wrestling with his white scarf as if it were some kind of snake trying to eat him.

>>33440141
This has certainly gone on long enough. You put down the drumstick and reach into your bag and grasp the handle of your beginner mace, but make sure not to take it out. You concentrate on casting the cure spell and a blue light washes over Judicature. You look into the duelist's eyes and see that nothing has changed. You focus on the party screen, look at the icons affecting Judicature and see [Meeting of the Faeries]. It's a neutral effect, the kind that are doled out by quests or environmental effects.

Shit.

You hear a chair scrape across the floor and you look to see the king standing up. He looks to you and Lilac. “You two!” His voice booms and bounces around the walls. “For what reason do you not eat!?” Every word from him echoed throughout the hall.

“We do not eat...” Lilac explains, “Because we are not here to do business with the Fae.”

The king slams his fists onto the table, “THERE IS TO BE SILENCE IN THE HALL!”

Lilac's chair wraps around her and binds her in place. “Wait!” Lilc protests, “I'm sorry! Let me start again!” One arm of the chair wraps around a goblet, the other pries open Lilac's mouth. The dwarf continues to try and protest, but to no avail. The liquid contained in the cup is poured into her and an arm snaps her mouth shut.

“YOU WILL SWALLOW OR YOU WIL BE BROKEN!” The king's voice cries.

“Hot!” Canis shouts.

You can hear the chair tighten around the dwarf until she relents and swallows the liquid. The chair relaxes and returns to its original position.

The king looks to you. “Cleric. The feast is over. You will accompany me to the play.”

You nod silently and get up from your chair. The king leads you out of the room. Now might be a good time to call in some back up, but it might also be a good idea to just stick it out and see what happens next.

call lilac, maybe she can give advice before she goes crazy
also maybe she will say something interesting if she is already high

Shit. Fuck.

Yeah it was supposed to be Judi. I'm usually too afraid to mix up their names to let that happen.

>>33440504
Can we telepathically call her? That's a thing they do in the show, but it seems like every time we've called, we've spoken out loud.

I'd rather not piss off the crazy all-powerful monarch by calling our high friends when he can hear us talking.

>>33440588
i was planning on ringing her but not saying anything, if she was still thinking,she is smart enough to infer we are asking for advice

by all means tho, if we can pull off a totally silent telepathic call where we can communicate to her, that would be even better

Odd, I was under the opposite impression. After all, Minori had to cough to be able to talk to Shiroe during the Hamelin arc.

if you meant about the pure telepathic calls, it is something they could do later on in the series, cant remember if it was showed in the anime yet

anyways, this is all asuming she is still in a normal state of mind, if she isnt, maybe she will say something interesting, incredibly disturbing, funny, or most likely of all, super cute

You follow the king silently, but keep a certain focus on your friends list. You select Tabula and his call.

RING

RING

RING

“Hello?” You hear the gruff voice of the blacksmith elf.

You whisper, “Be ready” and hang up.

The king turns and raises and eyebrow. “If I am not mistaken you have just said something, and I am never mistaken, so you shall tell me now what it was you said.”

“I said 'I'm ready.' For the play I mean.”

The king turns back around. “So be it, cleric.”

You let out a small sigh. You are safe for now.

The king leads you to a small theater built into the castle. There are what looks to be hundreds of seats, but from the dust it looks like only one is ever used: the large ornate one with gold and jewels. The king flops down onto the chair and motions for you to sit next to him on the dusty wooden chair next to him, which completely lacked a cushion.

You sit down on the hard wood and look forward to see the velvet curtains of the stage lift. On the stage you see a crude facade of the BRO. On top of the not-BRO is a man with a pig's head dressed in your equipment.”

“Tis I!” The Pigman says, “Ambrosis! Captain of the Roe! Creator of the ship which sails the land as the norm sail the sea!”

“Captain!” You hear a man yell off stage. Then a hobbling, twist man in a read coat comes onto the stage from below the not-BRO.

“Ah! Trove, the reformed pirate whom I saved from near death and bound to my service to the god Merika!” The not-you says, “What have you to say to me?”

“It is a warning, my lord!” The not-Trove speaks, “The dastardly Lilac races toward us! Although our ship is fast and grand, I dare fear that she uses unsightly magics to further her speed!”

>>33441372
The not-you steps front stage and the lights die down except for what you can only assume to be a magic spotlight, which is targeted at the not-you.

“Lilac!” The pigman says, “A name I knew too well! A woman I once loved, but was driven to competition with! Curse this fate I have! That of an Adventurer! So immune to pain, yet so prone to suffering! A form which turns friends into enemies so easily! Alas. To live I must fight the witch! But my heart! My heart demands love for her! It demands letters to be written which speak nothing yet signify all!” The not-you falls to his knees, “Merkia! Why have you cursed me so!? Have I not been a loyal servant!? Is this but another test of my faith? Yes!” He stands once again. “This is but another test, and I shall not fail you, Merika! I shall be your most loyal servant! My love for you is as powerful and my ship, if not more so!”

The not-you jumps back onto the not-BRO and the lights brighten once again.

“Full speed ahead, Mr. Trove! We shall not let that witch outdo us!”

“Yes, captain!” The not-Trove rushes back below the stage, presumably to the engine room, or whatever they think happens down there.

A rooster-headed man in gold chainmail bursts from the driver's room. “Captain!” He announces, “I cannot drive anymore!” He falls to the ground.

“Judicature!” The pigman shouts, “What has gone wrong!?”

“The spirit of competition burns through me, captain.” The rooster-man grasps onto not-you's robes. “I am in need to defeat you, captain, but I cannot! I could never betray you like that!”

“But you must, my friend! You must or else you shall waste away! As is the way of the Adventurer!”

>>33441386
“I cannot! I love you too much, my captain! In my chest beats the wants of love and admiration and friendship! If I do not betray you I die, yes, but to betray you kills me in a different way! I die both ways, so I choose to let live this love I have for you!” The not-Judicature then sprawls out, as if dead.

“NOOO~!” The not-you cries out. “Take me instead, Merika! I beg you! I plead! Let not another die before me!”

The not-Trove comes hobbling back on stage. “My captain! My lord! The witch is upon us!”

The donkey-man in a tiny silver boat comes gliding across the stage. “Tis I!” The donkey-man form before cries out, “Lilac the witch! Binder of demons and devils! Gaze upon my boat of silver which moves under the power of the dark arts!”

“LILAC!” The not-you screams. He puts the not-Judicature to the side and stands at the edge of the Roe. “For what reason have you to compete against me!? Why must you break what is left of my heart!? Have you no love for me!?”

The lights go dim once again, and the spotlight is on the donkey-man. “Ambrosis! If only he knew! The need of competition has ordained that I must win lest I be dissolved like the others! If only I could tell him! If only! But to tell him is to make him falter, and to make him falter would undo both him and I! Such a cruel fate the god Merika has weaved for us! If I win, I will tell him and shower him with love, but should I lose, it is best I die with him hating me so he will not feel the pain of loss!”

The lights go back to full and the not-Lilac shouts back, “I have no love for a man so vile! I shall win this competition and you will not stop me!”

“You shall never win against me, witch!” the not-you shouts back, “For I know how to banish the demons you have bound to your service!” The pig-man flings a bag at the silver ship and the not-Lilac picks up cloth that looks like flames.

He flails the blanket around and screams, “I have been undone! My hubris has destroyed me! Oh Merika who hath forced me competition against my love, I curse your name! With my last breath I cure thee!” The not-Lilac then falls.

The crooked not-Trove shouts, “We have won my lord!”

The not you gazes out over the empty audience. “Yes. Yes we have, my pirate companion, but at what cost? My crew and lover lies dead! My friends are no more!” The pig-man falls to his knees once again, “I beg, thee, great lord Merika! Grant me but one miracle! I, your greatest champion and winner of competition time and again, beseech thee! Bring back those I love and release them from the curse of competition!”

Then a naked man who somewhat resembles the king is lowered down onto the stage from above. “Tis I!” The nude shouts, “Merika, the god of Adventurers!”

“My god! My lord! Merika, please!” The not-Ambrosis shouts, “Please, I beg you, grant me my favor! Take my soul! Tear me asunder if you must, but please bring them back and break their curse!”

Merika does not look at the pigman, but instead looks out over the empty audience. “I, Merika, god of Adventurers see your humble pleas. Even my stone heart beats in sorrow at such a tragedy!” He casts his hand in an arch over the stage. “I awaken your crew and lover, and release you all from the curse! Thus is my will and thus it has been done!”

The not-Judicature and not-Lilac rise.

“I, the god Merika hereby call this play to an end!” The nude is then once more lifted off stage and the curtains close.

The king claps enthusiastically. You, on the other hand, are not quite sure what you just watched.

“You do not clap.” The king observes. “Is it because you find these events wrong?”

END SESSION

Choices for next time:
[ ] “No, no. I'm just astonished how accurate it was.” Pretend it was the truth.

[ ] Other.

Red pill him, tell him the entire story of the databasing.

"What the fuck just happened?"

>“Actually, what really happened was...” Make up an even crazier story.
Time to go balls out, let's say Coyote won it for us or something like that.

>>33441419
thanks for the session Shep, it's the only time of the week that I have to do some painting while I wait for a update.

I'm not sure we can out-crazy the Mad King, but that's no reason not to try!

>>33441419

Claim we were drunk the whole time and as such, don't actually know what happened.

>>33441419
>[ x] “Actually, what really happened was...” Tell the truth.

Red pill him.

Also, well done Little Father. Hilarious play, very thematical.

>>33441419
>[ ] “That wasn't accurate in the least. None of that is what happened.” State the play was wrong, and stick to the story the <49erS> want you to tell.
Let's keep our story straight.

Also, I guess we know what their secret super-ninja corps have been doing this entire time.

Watching us and reporting what they saw(or interpreted) back to their superiors.

Also, if we'd eaten the food and drug-tripped, how would this have gone? I mean, it seems like he was going to show us the play all along. But we needed to be sober for that.

>>33441419
>[ ] “Actually, what really happened was...” Tell the truth.

Someone refresh my memory, how does the 49erS story differ from what actually happened?

>>33441419
Anons, why do you vote one way or the other?

I am lost as to what to choose.

>>33441419
[ ] “Actually, what really happened was...” Make up an even crazier story.
Pull out all the stops The BRO train has no breaks

We flat-out beat Lilac, no controversy here, no sir.

Waiiit a second, this seems like a trap.
Aren't we supposed to be staying quiet?

Is this any good? Didn't have time to color the whole thing and went with the whole JRPG thing.

>>33441419
>“Actually, what really happened was...” Make up an even crazier story.
We're going to get in trouble for talking regardless, might as well have some fun with it.

>>33441531
according to the invitation, quiet was only for the dinner.

>>33441434
Oh just thought about something, if we go all the way in red pilling him, we could argue that there was no way that his spies could have comprehended the true nature of what was happening, and butter him up by saying that we think that he might be able to.

>>33441586
>Red pilling a crazy, powerful lander
This cannot be a good idea. I think doing so will just send him into a mad rage, and no-one wants that.

>>33441541
Looks good to me!

>>33441419
that play was fantastic, and it wove a story as good as the truth, however your highness, the truth behind the adventurers is ----
tell him how the adventurers come from another world, where fire and lightning drive great machines of steel, where men fight men with power that could level cities in seconds, a world whose magic was lost, and where men surpassed the will of the gods themselves, tell him of how the men of Merika and Yurpe stood against darkness as millions fell to the Naz'ees, how the world came within inches of destruction in the frozen war, and how in the end Merika stood and declared that we must fight for freedom and the spirit of adventurers everywhere, as they opened the electic gate that brought the adventurers from Earth to this world to help the people fight back the hordes of darkness in this world as well

he would totally buy it and help us in our divine quest, because hes nuts

>>33441622
basically redpill him in a way that sounds magiky and that crazy would believe and think was awesome

>>33441622
This is pretty great, IMO

>>33441622
can we do this?

>>33441731
You are free to attempt whatever you wish.

>>33441622
holy shit this

>>33441763
Thanks for running shep!
fantastic work as always, kept me up till 4 am, and am most certainly looking forwards to next tuesday

>>33441419
So, it looks like the final votes are:
Red pill 6
Crazy Story 5
Stick to the script 3.

Unless I'm miscounting?

>>33436822
MMO time dilation. we're totally old men!
>>33440746
I get the impression that people weren't used to it yet back then so they tended to speak out loud since you can hear anything around the call.

>>33441419
I'm speechless and astonished by how amazing your play is but you forgot the parts involving
[ ] “Actually, what really happened was...” Make up an even crazier story.


I'm kind of surprised we didn't think to fake looking high.

>>33441622
We need to add in communists and the fall of the romanovs(+ Ra-Ra-Rasputin) to this somewhere so that we can occasionally rant about commie spies in the future when fucking with the ninjas.

>>33442028
>We need to add in communists and the fall of the romanovs
only if we say that they helped us defeat the nazis, but then became an enemy.

>>33441912
I voted for crazy but I would like this
>>33441622
I'm not sure if that counts as crazy or redpill.

>>33441622
I'm totally in for this

>>33442179
I counted it as red pill, but I guess it counts as both, really.

>>33442061
Hmm. mention Russian winter too?
I dont like the idea of spreading that we willingly came to ET though. It could/WILL backfire later if a way out is found and since we WILLINGLY came to this world we clearly must not care about that so we aren't told.
It's mostly a lose lose lie there since it possibly screws us out of a way out if believed, is the easiest lie to get caught out on, and is the most difficult for people who dont know about the lie to corroborate.

No matter what we do we're screwed

>>33444879
Eh. it's not so bad. The Mad King is obviously trying to trick us into giving him information (which is funny since we'd have given it if asked politely to begin with).
He's also trying to assert dominance like the Nobles on the Japan server tried to since like them he doesn't truly understand that we aren't his vassal/robots yet. We've done some disturbing things he's looking into(hence the dinner invitation) but I don't think he realizes the full scope of just how easily one lv 90 can wreck him.
My personal theory about this is that we're about to get sent/roped into a local dungeon run since TinyShepherd mentioned them earlier.
Oh and I think we should use nicknames when referencing history for extra confusion. Eg Stalin was known as the Iron Man. Communism can sound like a massive red curtain shrouded the lands and so on.

>>33441622
[x] This.

Sometime I love anons.

>>33446010
And it totally works since I think we're more or less teetering on the bring of madness anyway.
If this king cooled his shit a little Ambrosis and him would most likely get along very VERY well.

As long as we don't go and tell him that Lilac actually won we're good.

Why? Do you want a potential allied guild to be ripped asunder form the inside out by Ninjas? The King will also launch a smear campaign and the entire thing will blow up and dozens if not hundreds will be killed.

Alternatively he screams at us that we're a liar and his reports can't possibly be false and he one shots us where we sit.

>>33447031
You're overestimating him. Unless he's an Immortal King his max level is 30 and not even in a player class. He'd be a level 30 King. Plus if he kills us we just pop up from a CATHEDRAL and say the king has started killing players which wont go well for him and ushers a new era of FREEDOM for the people.
