"Oy!" You call out to her.
"Hey, Jack!" She coils her fungus-covered tail around behind her. "You look awfully happy this morning, what's the occasion?"
"Oh, nothin' much. Just saw something that made me smile. More importantly, we have important business today, Lass."
She looks at you confused, "Important business?"

"Aye, Today is the day we find out how to fix your skin." You smile at her.

She looks back at you with shock.
"What did you have in mind?"

>"The Ocean! It's harsh on the skin, but even harsher on mushrooms."
>"Town, you haven't tried looking there, yet. There might be something there that can help."
>"The Castle, Aligot is a talented mage, and I think I can twist his arm to give you a hand."
>"The wilderness, different things grow here than in Gallete, maybe you can find something to help."

You know there is a way to cure pretty much anything that's wrong with the skin. Especially anything that's on the surface.
"I know something that can cure any type of skin, seawater. There's a bay not too far from here we can visit." You fill your plate with food before sitting back down.

The tip of her tail slowly slides up and scratches the side of her face.
"I always thought it was too caustic for skin treatment."

You laugh, "Seawater is great for almost anything. As long as you don't drink it."
"..Where did you learn this?" She asks, still very skeptical.

"My ol' Capt'n of course. I'm certain he's seen every disease known to man. Every time he would treat it the same way. And he's lived longer than most of the finest doctors of my time! So I think he knows what he's talking about."
It's true; anytime a skin-deep disease befell him or a crew member, he would always tell them to a dip in the water. The salt is good for the body.

Madeleine gets herself a plate of food and starts eating, you can tell she's not really into this just yet. Maybe she doesn't think seawater will do anything?

"Hey, Lass. If you want, we could bring someone along."
She looks up from her food, "Really? Who did you have in mind?"

>Bring someone along? (If any)?
>Current beach party: You, Madeleine

>>36149336
>Mister booze

>>36149336
>>Bring someone along? (If any)?
the shrine girls (all 3), algot and his sister and the princess

Just Madeleine is fine, others have work to do.
Grab some rum and get going.

>>36149336
>>Bring someone along? (If any)?
Aligot, Camille - if he fails to accomplish anything here, I'm just going to give up
Atsuko, Green haired fox girl whose name escapes me, princess since she bitched we never take her anywhere, fritelli

>>36149392
Seconded

Alcohol.

The princess, the demon hunter and the little sister.

Make it as romantic as a Pirate can.

Looks like your party will consist of Madeleine, Keiko, Atsuko, Tuile, Aligot, and Alicot.

Sound good? If so, I'll write!

>>36149604
Fluffy tails + water = Non-fluffy tails

>>36149742
but the more fun to play with

>>36149742
They look cute like that though.

And then you dry them off and walla! Fluffy again.

>>36149728
Not really sure if that's fine but i have no idea how this vote should be done.

>>36149728
Do it.

>>36149728
just bring everybody

>>36149728
Good enough for me!
Operation Beach Party is Go!

>>36149728
If people specifically don't want somebody, they'll be dissatisfied.

>>36149728
>bringing aligot without camille

I'm amused.

>>36149728
Sounds good to me!

>>36149728
No Aligot would be better...

>>36149728
I want to vote afainst Aligot and Atsuko.

>>36149728
I'd call Aligot a lucky man for being the only other guy amongst all these girls, but then I remember he has absolutely no spine and is the least manly guy around.

>>36149879
And the subject of his affection isn't even going to be here.

>>36149728
Take Camille along.

>>36149728
add Camille to the mix and we're good
yeah yeah i just woke up

>>36149728
What was the basis for this vote?
Why not just take everyone?
Did the "Nobody" votes count as minuses?
Does that mean we can veto now?

>>36149728
>Aligot in third place
What the actual fuck.

>>36150019
he has been a bro since the beginning he has no spine but he is a bro

Geez, I knew this was a poor idea when I thought of it initially. I'm sorry guys.

I'll substitute Alicot (lowest) with Camille. Sound good?

>>36150062
Yes its good.

>>36150062
fine by me

>>36150062
Sure. Though I'll miss Aligot pouting that he didn't get to see his crush in a swimsuit.

>>36150051
He has done literally nothing. We have tried to help him but he still does nothing. That was funny at first but now it's just boring.
Fuck him, and not in the nice way.

>>36150085
Alicot is Aligot's sister camille is his crush

>>36150062
Replace Aligot with Camille. That should help him grow balls.

>>36150062
Anything is fine, so long as Operation Beach Party is still a Go!
It IS still a Go! isn't it?

>Captcha:must sumersib
also, Captcha requests a submarine. No idea why.

>>36150105
Yes. What part of what I said was difficult to understand?

>>36150062
Nah, don't bother.

>>36150144
you suggested that his sister was his crush

>>36150062
Fuck this mess. At this point i'm fine with nobody so we can get over this.

>>36150175
No he didn't?

>>36150175
It was just a failure in reading comprehension, mate.

>Still writing

pls calm down everyone.

>>36150190
>>36150203
woops you guys are right im just to tired

>>36150062
I vote we cancel the party. There won't be a consensus at this point so why bother?

>>36150252
Because the majority clearly wants a beach party?

I have an idea:
Let's try to gather everyone for the party first before we cancel anything. Maybe some of them have prior plans or reasons they should or shouldn't go.

Sound good?

>>36150272
You just want a beach party. Some people argue over who they want there and who they don't. This WILL end ugly.

>>36150300
ok but no more trying to please every one

>>36150327
Seriously. That way lies madness.

Just go with the votes.

>>36150300
As I said here >>36150311, at this point i'm convinced this will ignite a waifu war and result in people fighting over how to spend time. Cancel the mess before it escalates.

>>36150300
Sounds like it's just going to delay the beach trip simply in the guise of trying to work out who exactly should or shouldn't come.
I'm personally not bothered about who attends so long as it happens, but going with that plan will probably just end in more frustrated anons than simply saying who does or doesn't attend

>>36150300
At this point, just getting another story post up is the best thing you can do. This has dragged on far longer than necessary.

>>36150369
>>36150357
Yeah, you're right.

Okay, let me write the next post. I think I know how I should have asked this in the first place.

>>36150300
The thing that will cause arguments is who we'll spend time with and what we'll do.

In hindsight, just going alone with Madeleine, learning a bit more about her, maybe having some character development and being done with this would've been fine if that would have avoided the hour long shitstorm.

>>36150839
There was no shitstorm if OP had just gone with his first vote count.

You have a rather good idea on who should go. Two of them are laying inside of the shrine, one of them is a princess who was whining about you never taking her anywhere.

You sit back and look at Madeleine. She shifts uncomfortably as she becomes aware of your staring.
"What are you thinking?" She says, she tries to act as if your staring isn't bothering her.

"You know what's best about the beach? Alcohol!"
Wait, that's not what you meant to say.

"I mean- celebration! Ha. My old crew used to have a party every time we landed on shore somewhere. We could go get some of the Lasses at the castle and Aligot, maybe even get some of the-"

She coils her tail apprehensively, and is suddenly very focused on her food.
"What? Lass? Is something wrong?"
"Jack, you know how I feel about my tail."
"Eh?"

"You know.. I just don't really want to show it around to everyone. I mean.. I don't even really know most of the people at the castle that well."

You didn't quite think of that, really all you were thinking about were the booze and the women.
Not that you can be blamed for thinking of that, booze and women are important.

>"Okay, we'll just have a trip together."
>"We'll just invite Atsuko and Keiko, then."
>"Now's the time for introductions, then! I'll just head to the castle and find someone."

>>36150914

>>36150839
Yeah, this is how I should have worded it the first time.

Maybe this next vote will clear things up for everyone.

>>36150914
>>"Now's the time for introductions, then! I'll just head to the castle and find someone."
i dont want her to go back to how she like when she is in the swamp again

Sound like a good compromise?

>>36150914
>"We'll just invite Atsuko and Keiko, then."

>>36151102
Ok.

>>36151102
Compromises are going to be the death of you.

>>36151102
Can we stop with the compromises? They'll be more trouble than they're worth.
Just go with whatever won and let's get done with this.

>>36150914
>>"We'll just invite Atsuko and Keiko, then."

>writing

>>36151102
Fuck compromises.

Well the reason I'm compromising: We have a tie right now between Keiko+Atsuko and going alone.

So I'm just going to write this up to get the show on the road.

>>36151223
You could do a final destination like normal people

>>36151223
The last vote came after you called the vote.

>>36151248
Because final destination isn't trivially bypassed.

>>36151223
I vote for anything but the fucking compromise.

Yes, I'm sorry, I know, I fucked up.

I'll try to salvage it as best as I can in the next few posts.

>>36151294
I think you're taking a few poster's displeasure far too hard.

Most everyone just wants the show to keep going. If there really are 20 unique IP's in this thread, and only 2 or 3 are bitching, you can safely ignore them.

>>36151127
>>36151163
>>36151197
>>36151286

Compromises in situations like this are good things, and if you are angry your favourite option didn't win by itself, then you'll just have to deal with it, like every other one of the 20 posters of this thread, myself included.

>>36151294
Look, anons are angry, they argued with each other and now they're turning on you.
Everybody chill and let's try to have a fun thread.

>>36150914
>You sit back and look at Madeleine. She shifts uncomfortably as she becomes aware of your staring.

Oh God, something's tugging my heartstrings.

the QM is not at fault for the thread fucking its self

>>36151294
>I know, I fucked up.
You didn't. This compromise is perfectly acceptable, and I'm certain the majority of the players are, if not happy with it, then at least glad that clusterfuck of a voting session ended and that we can enjoy your writing again.

>>36151327
>>36151341

http://strawpoll.me/2986803

>>36151400
And i'll use this as an example of why strawpoll is bad. 'no' will win.

>>36151390
Yes, please teach him that any and all discontent can be chocked up to shitposting buttmad anons, that won't turn out horribly in the future

>>36151328
The problem with the compromises is that they leave everyone dissatisfied, especially when the vote is between exclusive options.
Doing many things is fine but finding a good middle road in two extremes is impossible.

>>36151414
Samefagging doesn't work when we know exactly how many voters are in thread

>>36151434
Strawpoll has worse protection than 4chan.

>>36151434
You're retarded.

>>36151463
Yes and? If the number of votes goes over 20, we know someone samefagged

Guise, stop fighting. I only came for tails to be fluffed. not for fighting.

>>36151493
Look at the results, moron.

>>36151493
Strawpoll is easier to samefag than 4chan.

>>36151493
No. You don't. The amount looking at the thread is not the same as the amount posting in a thread.

Regardless, No is winning by a landslide like I said it would and there are less than 20 votes? Is it samefagged?

>>36151525
I'm aware
>>36151504
If only everyone would have actually voted. Instead of 3-5 anons then the anon samefagging to prove a point

>>36151493
You do know that Strawpoll is not proxy proof, right? Not only that, there are lots of easy to use, readily availeable bots for the purpose of manipulating Strawpoll.

>>36151562
...How in the world would that have made things better? You could have 40 vs 10 instead of 11 vs 3?

Actually, forget it, you are obviously clinically retarded.

"Alright, that's fair enough." You finish the rest of the food on your plate, "I guess I should have asked you first to begin with."

She takes your plate and heads toward the river.
"No, no, it's fine. Truthfully, I didn't think you would try to help at all."
"..Really Lass? You think I would break my own word?"
She turns around, only managing to whisper a "Maybe?" at you.

"Your words, they pierce me so, Lass."

"I need to pack a few things, maybe you should get your Cercle ready before we leave."
"My what again?"
"Your bird, that's how we're going to get there, right?"

Oh right, your bird, ah heh.
"Yar! Of course, I'll go fetch her right now."

--

Gently, you slide the door of the shrine open. The fluffy mass has shifted slightly, the orange ball of fluff has decided to pull the green mass of fluff closer to herself.
Now is a good time as any.

"(Har, Atsuko.)" you whisper, hopefully not loud enough to wake up Keiko.

Gently, her leg shifts and slides over the small matted cloth she's laying on. Twitching one ear, the Lass makes a annoyed squeak.
"mm?"
"(Hay, Atsuko, I'm borrowing the bird with Madeleine, we'll be back in a few hours.)"
"umm"

"(Yar?)"
"where's keiko? oh here's keiko"
She pulls the green Lass even closer to herself, if it's even possible.
"(Can I take the bird, though?) "
"umm."

She shifts slightly,
"okay camille, bring it back before dark, be sure to wash it when you get back."

That's good enough for you!
Gently, you slide back out of the shrine and close the door behind you.

You pack enough booze for the road, and some dry tack for lunch.
Really, you're not sure you need anything else.

The bird, Mimi you think her name was? She isn't being very cooperative, but you're able to bribe her with some food long enough to throw a saddle on her and lead her behind the shrine.

That's when you notice Madeleine's pack. She seems to be packing for a journey instead of a morning trip. The large pack bulges with clothes and provisions.

"I thought we were just going for a short trip, Lass."
"Oh, I know."
She packs a few empty vials into the pockets along the sides of the pack.

"Err, I just wondered, that's all."
"Why? Is it a problem?"

That's when you realize that you're about to question the packing decisions of a woman. You know better than to go down that route.

"Nope! Just wonderin'. C'mon bird, let's get this on your back."
Mimi yanks her head back and jerks around your arms. Madeleine watches this unfold with genuine curiosity.

"Jack, this is your Cercle, right?"
"Well! Sorta. Atsuko and I share it."
"So you've ridden it before, right?"
"Yar! With Atsuko."

The bird yanks it's reigns out of your hands and promptly walks several paces away. It starts grazing just out of arms reach.

You can hear Madeleine try to contain her laughter.
Madeleine carefully slithers along the grass, and gently grabs the reins.
"You have to be gentle with Cercles, Jack."

She leads it over to the pack and clicks her hand in front of it's face. Obediently, it sits down and stretches it's neck outward.

"You're a finicky bird."
"I think she's really nice!" Madeleine is beaming as she loads her pack on.

Gently, you let Madeleine slither onto the beasts back, you hop on behind her as she coils around you to fit onto the saddle.
"Off we go!"

You were thinking of asking how she was able to do that, but you're more than aware of your current status as the enemy of the local wildlife. So you just figure this is more of something that comes with the job.

You can feel Madeleine shifting the weight of her tail to fit on the bird. Every time she does, another length of it seems to wrap around you.
This is going to be a very awkward ride for you if that keeps up.

"Har, Madeleine. why didn't you try the ocean sooner? Gallete is closer to the ocean than Biscotti is."
She looks back at you with worry, "Why? How long is it going to take to get there?"
"According to Aligot, it's a two hour trip."

You both walk through the dew-covered woods, in the distance you can hear birds waking up and starting their morning foraging.
"..No Jack, I never went to the ocean. I'm not much of a fighter and I didn't really want to let anyone in on my problem to escort me there."

You can hear small animals walk through the underbrush, nearby some glowing animals gently recede into the safety of the forest canopy.

"Why would ye need to be a fighter, Lass?"
She twists her body as best as she can to glare at you with a certain kind of dismay at that response.
"What do you mean? The shore is where the strongest sea life comes to congregate. I've never fought anything like that before, and hopefully never will."

Sea life?

"I'm sure Aligot already told you about that, you did tell him you planned on going to this 'bay', right?"

Your mouth opens, but nothing comes out. You instead focus your attention to the tiny flask in your pocket.
