You walk out the door.

Your best friend has run off to find Aideen, your other friend has given him a horse so he can run off faster into certain death, and your last friend is thinking of just leaving.

You head into the inn and order a couple of booze-strocities. Then a couple more. Then a few more after that. After getting substantially liquored up, you feel your rage building once more.

You need to distract yourself before you do something stupid.

The Manifest Destiny! You need to go see how that's coming along.

You meander through the dark streets. Who the hell put the sun out!? Was the floor always this wobbly? Who put this lamp post here!? You can't help but hold onto the metal pillar as you try to reclaim your balance. The lamp post goes toppling over, and you with it.

“Fuckin' piece'a shi'” You say, getting back to your feet. You stagger over to the stairway of the subterranean guild hall. You take one step and end up tumbling down the stairs. Down and down and down and down you go, an non-stop torrent of pain until you finally reach the <49erS> warehouse.

You've only lost half your health, so you should still be good.

You stand up, swaying back and forth.

“Where's my ship!” You shout, “Show me the Manifes' Des'iny!”

You can see the ship where you are standing. A giant skeleton towers above you, filled with floors and internal walls and engines. The inner workings of the land-galleon are exposed for all to see. Gears and rotors galore.

The working crew look amongst themselves at your drunken display. The hell are they looking at!?

“The fuck are you lookin' at!?” You shout, “Ge' back to work!” That'll show them. The scrubs. Who the fuck let all these bitches touch your ship!? You should be building it! You gotta teach these fools a lesson in proper engineering!

[ ] Go teach those scrubs how to engineer a land-ship by doing it yourself!
[ ] Just yell at them to work properly!
[ ] Black out.

This is why I wanted black out and/or drunkenly embarrass ourselves with whiny crying.
I'm actually amazed that we had the mental faculties to speak let alone fuck anything up after binge drinking so much alcohol that our liver damage dropped our lv 40 hp halfway.

>>34019366
Was it the liver damage that did hit our HP? The way it was worded I thought we lost that health falling down the stairs.

>>34019412
That would have to be ALOT of stairs given that baseline "humans" are lv 1~10. They would need to have spiked pits on the bottom or some other sort of health code violation.

>>34019463
And after some thought i'm now realizing the 49ers totally would do that and i cant get the image of a Prince of Persia style staircase that the nonmembers have to get past each time they want to get in.

You reach the top of the ship and it only took you three attempts to succeed. You flop onto the deck and point to the nearest working. “You!” You shout, “Wha'd'ya think you're doin' with that gear?”

He looks to you, then the the large gear in his hand, then back to you. “Uhh... Attaching it?”

“Yeah? Well, ya know whhaat? Looks to me like you're... bein' a scruuuuub.” You attempt to snatch the gear from his hands, but end up just slapping him in the face.

“Owww!” He responds. The scrub! He thinks that's pain!? You'll show him real pain if he doesn't give you that gear!

“Give me thaaa' geeear... now!”

He holds out the gear for you. You attempt to snatch it one more time, but end up just slapping him again. That'll show him!

You dedicate your entire focus the grabbing the gear.

One hand on it.

Then the other hand.

Grasp the gear.

Pull.

“Aha!” You shout, “Now I'll teach'ya how to REALLY handle a gear!” You turn around and take a step towards the stairs below deck, unfortunately the floors are too damn wobbly and end up crashing to the ground.

“Are you okay?” The worker asks.

“God damn fuckin' floor is crooked!” You scream before slamming the gear into the deck. “The en.. enti... Redo it!” You start slamming the gear over and over again, trying to remove the metal floor.

You fling the gear overboard and then vomit spews from your mouth.

You feel your body give out and hit the ground. Why is everything dark?

You feel cold water wash over you. It feels so good. You wish you could just stay here for a while.

“You okay?” You hear a voice say.

“More water.” You respond.

Additional water washes over you. It certainly hits the spot.

You open up your eyes and see Tabula standing over you with a water sprite.

“Something you want to tell me?” He asks.

Damn. This quest is 2sad4me right now

Apropos of nothing, we should find out if people who were colour blind before the databasing are still colour blind afterward. It could provide evidence on whether or not Lilac still has brain problems.

Everything is tumbling down, holy shit.

I was just starting to like Lilac again and Canis is gone. At least our brother is coming soon.

We need to make stronger ties with Trove and Takeshi. They seem a bit loyal.

“I will never again know the taste of beefaroni, and I cannot stand it.” Is your response.

Tabula responds by having the sprite spray your face with more water.

“Okay, okay!” You say until the water stops. “Your floors are cr- blubleblub!”

The water again.

“ALRIGHT!” You shout. “My best friend's girlfriend ran off into the Frontier, he ran after her, the friend I sent to get him back ended up just pushing him further into the Frontier, it turned out another friend of mine never actually wanted to get to Big Apple with me and has been lying to me from the beginning, and now I don't know what to do with myself.”

“Is that all?” He asks.

“What do you mean IS THAT ALL!?”

“Sorry, but you don't seem to have anything really drink yourself silly worthy. If he's your best friend, he'll come back sooner or later, girl in tow or not. Your other friend was just trying to help out best friend, right? There's nothing wrong with that. Some times doing the stupid thing, even though it's stupid, turns out to be the right thing to do.” He smirks, “Of course, most of the time doing the stupid thing is still just a stupid thing. It takes time to know which one is which.”

“And what about Lilac lying to me?”

“Depends on what she lied about.”

“Well, when I first met her, she said she wanted to go to Big Apple with us. Turns out she just wanted to get here and lied about wanted to get to Big Apple.”

He sprays you with water again.

>>34022239
“It's the truth!” You cry out.

“Sorry.” He responds, “It just didn't seem like the kind of reason to do something like this.”

You scoff, “I just don't like to be lied to.”

“Friends lie.” He says, “It's what they do to protect each other.”

“Pfft.”

“So what's really bothering you?”

“Well... Okay, maybe I'm a bit upset about the fact that I might just lose my engineer in two days.”

Tabula drags his fingers across his chin. “Ah. I see.”

“So you understand, then?”

“Yes.” He says with a nod, “Well, if she was really meant to be your … engineer... she'll follow you anyways.”

“That's right!” You say, standing up with only a slight wobble. “You know what, fuck it! If she doesn't follow me, who cares! If Canis doesn't com back, who cares!? They'll come back if they were worth having around!” You take a moment to look around. You're still on the deck of the ship. “Good talk, Tabula.” You say before swaggering over to the ladder down.

You soon find yourself heading up the stairs of the underground guildhall.

Tabula was right, there are dozens of engineers in the world, and engineers are just nerds who learned how to make explosives and robots, so the engineering population must be huge in this world. You nod to yourself. Hell, who even needs an engineer, you can build machines all on your own. In fact, things will probably be better off without Lilac; she'll always be telling you what to do instead of letting you learn for yourself.

In fact, why are you so down!? You're going to have a land-galleon in two days, and the day after that you'll see your brother again!

Wait...

Nah. Nothing good will come from your brother standing in Canis' way. Your brother would probably drag Canis back, but Canis would probably never forgive you.

You stumble on some steps. You look up and see the exit of the building. It's pitch black out now. How long had you been down there?

You regain your balance and walk into the open air. You take in a deep breath. You need to just stop worrying about things.

“Oh look, it's you again.” You hear Symbology say.

You turn to see the elf. “Something you want, fake-name?”

“From you?” She scrunches her face up in overly exaggerated thought, “Mmmmm... No, can't say I can think of a single use for you.”

“What's that supposed to mean?”

“That you're useless.”

You breath in. You breath out. Nope. Still angry. “I'm sorry,” You say, “Which one of us made a steam engine? Oh, that's right. It was me. Which one of us discovered a possible way to reactivate the city gates? Oh. That's me again. Who's the one who has actually accomplished something since the databasing? Why, I do believe that's just me. So, please, explain to me again why you're talkin' shit when it's quite obvious that you can't do anything for yourself. If I had to make a guess, I'd say the only reason you're here isn't to actually pay Lilac a visit, but because you don't know what to do without her.”

“Yeah, well...”

“Well what!?” You pause, “I'm waiting! Well WHAT! Oh, I know, there isn't a what because everything I said was true and you can't think of a LIE to save your sorry ass!”

She clenches her fists. “You're not worth it.” She says before storming off.

“Butthurt bitch.” You mutter under your breath.

You look at your party menu, a nice green arrow points out the direction of Judicature. You should probably go talk to her about what happened. Maybe even talk about Lilac possibly leaving.

You follow the arrow along the streets, out of the city gates, and into an open field.

“If you're aimin' to take on things smaller than a barn you'll need to aim better than that!” You hear a voice over a small hill.

Traveling up the hill, you see Brimstone standing below you, a couple yard from him stands Judicature.

Judi throws a knife and it narrowly misses the guild leader.

“This world ain't like the other world, Scrubicature, you can't just hit me with the push of a button.” Brimstone calls out.

“I know that!” Judi responds, “I'm trying my best!”

“Well tryin' ain't gonna do nothin'. Doin' till you do it; that's what's gonna make-” A knife stabs itself into his face; a red 100 floats above his head and disappears along with the knife. “Now that's doin' your best!” He laughs. “I reckon now's a good time to end practicin'. I'll tell you what, you gotta keep practicin' if you wanna git gud. It's as true in PvP as it is in anythin'.”

“Yes sir!” Judicature says.

The two travel up the hill where you are spotted.

“Hey.” You say to the two.

“Howdy.” The old man responds, “If you don't mind, I intend to keep on moseying.”

“Uh, yeah. Of course.” You respond. “Uh, Judi, can I talk to you for a moment?”

The old man walks away, leaving only you and the duelist.

“S-s-s-so...” Judi stammers, “W-what did you want to talk to me about?”

“You gave Canis your horse.” You respond, “When I specifically told you to bring him back.”

“I-I-I'm sorry!” She cries out, “I... I just... He made this really intense speech and it was really romantic and... and... and I couldn't say no!”

You stare at her for a while. She shrinks down, looking extremely upset, until you finally say, “Eh. It's fine.”

>>34025855
“Y-yeah?”

“Yeah.” You say with a reassuring nod, “I'm already over that. If Canis is the friend I think he is, he'll show up sooner or later, and he's been my best friend for as long as I can remember, so he definitely will.”

“Oh...” She responds, “Then... What did you actually want to talk about?”

You pause for a moment, trying to think of the words.

“D-d-did you... wanna talk about.. how p-pretty the stars are?” She asks before mumbling something under her breath.

You wave the thought away, “No, no. What I wanted to talk about was Lilac.”

“O-oh... What about Lilac?”

“Did you know she never intended to go to Big Apple?”

“Yes. She said she originally wanted to just travel to here, which is why she wouldn't be...” She trails off into mumbling something.

“Wouldn't be what?”

“Nothing! Never mind! I didn't say anything! I mean, why would I say anything!? That's just silly.” She begins to laugh. You're not quite sure what's so funny.

“So... Why didn't you tell me?”

“She said she would tell you soon enough.” Judi responds, “I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal.”

You remain silent for a while before saying, “Yeah, I guess it's not that big of a deal. If she cares enough to stay with us, great. If she doesn't, who cares, right?”

“Right.”

You look up the the night sky again. “The stars are pretty, aren't they.”

“Mhm.” Judi says, “Do... do you think.. umm...” She mumbles something.

“What was that?”

“N-nothing. I...” She pauses, “No, it's nothing I should probably just go get some sleep.”

“Yeah, me too.”

“Do... do you want to walk together?” She asks.

You shrug, “I don't see why not.”

The two of you walk all the way back to the inn in silence. Up the stairs and into the hallway of rooms.

“I...” Judi says at her door, “I guess I'll see you tomorrow.”

>>34025880
“Yep.” You respond, “Have a good night.”

“You too.” She responds softly.

You walk into your room, take off your armor, and flop into bed. Today was a terrible day and you can't wait for it to be tomorrow.

Your head is heavy in your pillow. Soon sleep takes you.

You wake up to the sun and a horrid, throbbing headache. Fuck! You forgot to cast cure! Damn it! That was the entire-! All your rage just makes the pain worse.

You roll out of bed and onto the floor, scooping up your mace you focus until blue light washes over you and you feel the sudden relief of a lack of pain.

You stare up at the ceiling for a while, having no idea what to do today. At the end of the day the Manifest Destiny should be finished, but what are you going to do till then?

She's adorable.

Combined with Lilac's dickery even if it's sometimes justified I'm leaning more towards a Judi end.

>>34026405
I and a lot of others are right there with you.
Although Judi just throws herself at us. No fun in the easy route.

>>34026559
What do you mean no fun, we're like have naive and half playing hard to get.

>>34026632
No we just fail at talking with girls for eternity. If there was a stat relevant to socializing in game it'd be at zero and then have stacked negative modifiers.

>>34026761
No, it's just that Ambrosis is secretly leversexual and doesn't want anyone but true levers.

You haven't talk to Takeshi in a while... Or ever, if you could have helped it. Maybe today's the day you finally get him to stop acting like he's absolutely insane, or at least find out WHY he's insane.

Maybe.

You're not even sure you can accomplish that, but what the hell, at least you'll be busy until the land-galleon is done.

You get up from the floor, put your armor on, and head out the door. You follow your green arrow all the way to the assassin. He stands in the middle of a garden assaulting a tree with his sword.

“Hya!” He shouts with a slice, “Hwah!” His blade cuts through wood and bark like water. Mighty oaks are felled in one cut and are instantly converted to stumps.

“Takeshi!” You call out, “What are you doing!?

“I'm training!” He responds. His dedications to his training would be more impressive, if only he didn't chop down every tree in the city to do it.

“Well... Stop it!”

Takeshi nods, “You are right. Mere trees are no true opponent. To TRUELY train my skills, I must have a worthy opponent.” He points his nodachi at you. “Prepare for battle!”

“No!” You shout, “God damn it. I just wanna talk!”

Takeshi sheathes his blade and nods. “Yes, I see. It makes perfect sense. I have trained my body for so long, but I have not trained my mind.” He sits down on what was once a tree. “Please, sit, let us philosophize.”

You sit down. You're probably going to regret this, but what should you ask him?

[ ] Go, go custom questions.
Last response before final post.

I'm just getting slower and slower at writing. God damn.

>"Come on man, what's with the constant RP stuff? You do this all the time before the Databasing?"

Ask him how long he played ET before the databasing happened.

>Ask about his thoughts on sodomy.

>>34026980
This a pretty good approach. If we're straightforward enough, he can't keep dodging the question.

>>34026937
"Why are you bothering acting like this? We're in North America, there are no samurais, and frankly you use it as an excuse to act like an idiot. If you were actually serious about it you would create a real honor code and stick to it instead of using it as a flimsy justification to act like a retard."

"Besides, you don't need the help of a code to be an idiot."

“So...” You try to think of a way to not call him an idiot. Maybe something soft to start off with. “How long were you playing Elder Tales before the databasing?”

“Two months.” He responds. “Now for my question: If a samurai could cut bullets, how did guns defeat the samurai?”

“Uhh...” Takeshi's fucking with you, right? “Because they... couldn't?”

The not-samurai nods, “Of course. That's why only the gatling gun defeated the samurai. Normal guns were easy to defend against, but even the great samurai could not defeat so many bullets.”

“Uh... Right. So, why are you doing... this.” You make a motions towards him. “Why are you RPing still? You can break character, you know. Databasing kinda called off all RP.”

“I'm not RPing. I am following the Samurai Code.” He pauses a moment and then asks, “If Yasuke was a samurai, his children would be samurai, and if his children were samurai, then their children were samurai. Correct?”

You shrug. “I guess? Makes sense I suppose.”

He nods to himself, “Yes. Of course it makes sense. It's apart of the Samurai Code.”

“Okay, just stop with this samurai code bullshit! This is America! There are no samurai! The samurai code you constantly quote are made up of AMERICAN proverbs! I'm not a samurai and you sure as hell aren't a samurai either!”

Rage burns on the young man's face when it is suddenly quelled. “Ah. I see.” He says, “You are testing me. Trying to see if you can make me angry. A true samurai is always calm. As you can no doubt see, I have passed the test.” He nods again. “It is no doubt hard to tell it, but I am a samurai. I descend from one of the mightiest samurai in the world; Yasuke, Oda Nobunaga's personal bodyguard.” He nods once more. “No doubt the proverbs part was just to rile me up, as anyone would realize that they sound like they are American because they were translated into English.”

>>34028038
You are absolutely dumbfounded. This kid was absolutely insane. Certifiably insane, probably. If only Canis was here, he's studied psychology, he'd know how to handle crazy people. “So you descend from a famous samurai and...” This was just too stupid. “Let me guess, you're some 6 foot, gay, Swedish guy or something, right?”

“Yasuke was Portuguese.”

“Oh, so you're okay with the sodomy part, then?”

He stares at you for a while. He looks like he is trying to discern your intent.

After a couple of seconds you say, “I was just joking. Relax, I'm not calling you gay or anything, I was just talking about an anime.”

“Your tests are quite strange, Ambrosis.” He says, “But I believe I have proven myself worthy of another duel.”

You just shake your head. “No.”

He looks a bit surprised, but mostly disappointed, “Oh. I see.” He curls his fingers around his chin. “Yes, I see where I have made a mistake. I never should have stopped training my body. Body and mind must be one. Yes, I see now. I must train both at the same time.” He gets to his feet and bows. “Thank you for showing me the path of the warrior.”

You blink in astonishment. Was he really this dumb? Was he just this delusional? This kid has problems. More problems than you can deal with.

You get to your feet and exit the garden, shaking your head the entire time.

A bit sillly of me to point this out at 4 in the morning but I think weapons dont despawn now. Some expensive built called/nicknamed juggler in the notes got OP as shit post apocalypse since you now could actually pick the weapons back up again. I could be mistaken though.

>>34028342
>juggler got OP as shit post apocalypse
I really need to find a more current translation of the notes, because the wiki is extremely misleading at this point.

Please tell me there wasn't a juggler somewhere in the LN that I completely missed or something.

>>34028052
There's so much wrong with his story it's amazing. My vague recollections are telling me that Yasuke was a black "Samurai"(and friend) under Nobunga and wikipedia seems to agree with me.
He was from Mozambique under an Italian Jesuit so he didn't even get the proper slave owner nation right.
>>34028477
Nah. it's pretty obscure and one line(in the misc mamare notes) since I only remember it back during the airing when people were discussing ideas for stuff that changed and/or could be abused.(spam phantasmal weapon throwing since you can actually just pick them back up now) It might be possible my mind just made it up without knowing the "true" despawn/respawn mechanics as I had the impression that things don't actually despawn outside of bodies. We just stopped noticing em from our adventurer perspective. I'll try and double check misc notes in the morning.

>>34028562
>>34028477
Yeah. I took a look at the wiki (under swashbuckler) thanks to google and it appears I was just going off of an old translation that probably just got misinterpreted back in the day. Can't say that 100% but i can easily see some lines that probably looked different with a rough translation.
Sorry bout that.
Interesting to note that around lv 50 judi suddenly gets a bunch of returning/respawning weapons available to buy. Somewhere out there there's an Australian guy dual wielding boomerangs with a juggler build.

>>34028562
>There's so much wrong with his story it's amazing.

Hopefully one day someone will ask him how he knows he's related to Yasuke. It'll be hilarious.

nice work as always shep!
