Don't you think you started kinda early, a lot of people are still asleep.

There seems to be an impasse. In the interest of moving things along. Roll d100 for it. Will go with the first roll.

>>37123300
>Stealth

The rest of the night passes in a haze, your mutated body pulsing with the need to rest….and evolve. You make your way back home on automatic, then fall into unconsciousness.

You awake in darkness, curled in the foetal position and encased in some kind of soft warm substance. You instinctively tear yourself free and fall to the floor of your room. Sunlight streams in through the gaps in the curtains. It looks like you fell from some kind of slimy cocoon adhered to the ceiling.

You shudder and try and wipe the translucent slime from your hair. Then the memories of last night return to you….

“Oh god, Jan….”

You can still taste her in the back of your throat.
Pale and trembling, you rush to the bathroom and begin to retch, but all that comes up is a crushed and warped ball of metal and plastic. It takes a few moments for you to realise, it’s the remains of Jan’s glasses and earrings.

Jan was always a bitch to you, but she didn’t deserve this. No one does. She had an ex-husband somewhere….kids.

What have you become!?

You take a long, punishingly cold shower and throw on some real clothes. You want to feel fabric against your skin rather than have your clothes oozing out of your pores and part of your nervous system. You refuse to acknowledge that part of you.

What do you do now? You dare not go to work, what if you lose control again? Did anyone see you last night? When you become that *thing* do you leave traceable DNA? Is there a police computer running a program that’s about to produce your name and address?

“Shit, shit, shit.”

Maybe you deserve to get caught.

>Action?

>>37123445
Going out of our schedule right now is probably what will attract the most attention. If we have work, go to it. If not, get out of town and experiment some more with the symbiote

>>37123445
If I were her I'd call in sick and close myself in my apartment panicking, thinking what to do, and coming to terms. Sorta like the stages of grief.

>>37123445
>use stealth
>go back to Jan’s apartment
>burn it

>>37123445
Go to work and hope you can stay human.

>mfw the first quest archive is empty

>>37123445

"I have to go to work," Jan declares. "I have to act normal... at least today."

First, go to the bathroom and puts on makeup, like a NORMAL person.

Then pack herself a lunch, like a NORMAL person.

Then she goes to work, like a NORMAL person.

>>37123445
I'd call in sick, then spend the day figuring out what I've become, and if there's a way to reason with the symbiote at all.

>>37123445
Call in sick, try getting the monster inside of you to talk. You know the fucking thing is capable.

You double-check your apartment door making sure it’s locked, then draw the curtains tighter so that no one can see. The large cocoon on your ceiling would be difficult to explain.
Putting on your best flu-voice. You call HR at work and tell them you’re feeling under the weather and won’t be coming in today. That buys you time to figure this out and get your head together.

You pace back and forth, thinking and rehearsing various scenarios in your head. You contemplate turning yourself in….but then imagine what they would do to you. The confinement, the experimentation. They’d probably try and cut the symbiote out of you and your new instincts tell you that you wouldn’t be able to survive such a separation if it were even possible.

Attempts to communicate with or understand the symbiote are met with the same wall of ravenous hunger and instinct as before. You dare not let your consciousness stray to close lest you are infected by its all too familiar desires.

You splash your face with cold water in an attempt to calm yourself down, but as you raise your head from the sink it’s not your face in the mirror. The leering alien horror stares back at you , its obscene tongue thrashing like a headless snake, gore and clumps of Jan’s hair still stuck in *your* teeth.

You punch the mirror, shattering it. You were seeing things. You’re still human. To the naked eye anyway. You might be losing your mind.

>Begin getting your story straight in case they do find DNA evidence (I.E. be ready to 'recognize' whatever goop they might show you as that weird stuff that you slipped in a few days ago)

Just a little laundry list to keep ourselves busy and not let everything sink in too much just yet.

I won't let this thing win. I won't lose my humanity.. I want to repent.

In desperation you raid your medicine cabinet for something to knock yourself out, put your murderous alien alter-ego under.

You swallow entire bottles of sleeping pills and over the counter painkillers and wash them down with the bottle of vodka you'd been saving for a rainy day.

You quickly begin to feel woozy, unsure if the alcohol or the pills are kicking in first.

You start to laugh, now intoxicated. It feels different from the times you've been drunk before but you've already forgotten what you were so hung up on moments ago.

The chemicals in your system seem to have roused the symbiote as well. It's itching to come out and embrace you. To have a little fun in your conjoined form.

You make no attempt to resist it as it flows out of your skin and under your clothing, enveloping you, changing you.

Why would you? How can it be wrong when it feels.....soooo....good.

Having taken on your monstrous form again, you tear off the remaining scraps of clothing still clinging to you hiss in anticipation. The both of you are ravening for delight, putrid green slime dripping from your jaws in anticipation.

>The combination of intoxication and monstrous form has made all impulses nigh impossible to resist, you are eager to satisfy your instincts and have very little control.

>Head outside or elsewhere in the apartment building?

Summary of abilities? If I got it right

>Head outside

Higher meal quality = more sustenance, right? So if we go after muggers, who are typically physically in decent shape if they're not relying on guns, we'll probably get a better meal out of it.

>>37123877

That's right.

>>37123865
>Head outside
We need to find a rave party or something where there are lots of drugs.

>>37123865
Well either Masturbate do to no impulse control or head out and eat someone.

>>37123865
I.. not.. neighbors.. outside.. strangers.. not my home..

>>37123865
Go out to an unliked part of the city and just pick one that looks like a druggie/criminal. Since we're already being controlled by our impulses, it won't matter to mercy what we do or not.

>>37123865
ehm... f-find some good looking guy and have some "fun" with him.

Also, what time is it?

You climb out of your window and crawl up the outside wall to the roof. Your skin changes colour to match the brickwork, leaving you a vague transparent blur, noticable only to the closest scrutiny.

From your vantage point several things draw your attention.

A taxi driver and a passenger having a heated argument about the fare. They're loud and annoying, but look healthy and delicious. Their brains must be flush with hormones and other chemicals from the emotion.

A small group of freerunners, running, leaping and rolling around over the nearby rooftops. They're lean, muscular and sweaty. You imagine how sweet and tender their muscles would taste as you bite into them.

There's a helicopter buzzing around above you, it's flying quite low and you think you can reach it if you leap from the highest point and make use of your webbing. Could be fun, like warm sardines in a flying tin.

>Action?

>>37123990

Lunchtime.

>>37123992
That delicious fly.. buzzing in the air.. the treats waiting inside.. I want the challenge.

>>37123950
Does the symbiote have a reproductive drive that we're aware of?

>>37123992
>>37124002
Oh yes it is.

The helichoppa would attract too much attention crashing down sooo...

Fuck yes we're totally going to fucking assault that helicopter!

>>37123992
Hit up that taxi

>>37123992

>Tag on bottom of the chopper
>Wait from the new vantage point until we find something tastier

Most of this shit would give us way more trouble than the meal's worth and in the worst case, if we really need a snack, we can go snack on the chopper crew. Little to no evidence and we get a pretty light show with the lunch.

>>37123992
oh yes, make a big web for that big flying tin.

>>37124013
I dunno about the symbiote, but i'm sure Mercy didn't have a good orgasm in years.

>>37124050
I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, especially since we just ate anyway.

>>37124050
Save it for the heroes we'll attract. There's 3 of them in the city.

>>37123992
>>37124018
I redact my decision, rendering >>37124018 obsolete.Naturally there's no evidence that the posts were both made by me unless I start namefagging...

>>37124027
This however, is a good idea. We could always...y'know, lose control and nom the chopper crew "accidentally"...

All these anons wanting to do lewd things, in public...Yes.

>>37124041
>>37124027
>>37124018
>>37124007

You bond from building to building, climbing the nearest sky scraper and leaping as high as you can from the top.

At the peak of your jump, you fire off a webline that hits one of the helicopters landing struts.

Gurgling with triumph, you quickly climb up the webline and cling to the underside of the helicopters hull.

You can hear the crew talking, it seems to be a news chopper reporting on traffic as well as the general headines. Something about a rooftop murder, cattle mutilations and a monster on the loose.

Unable to contain yourself, you clamber to the choppers side window, break the window and force your way inside.

The struggle is brief and soon the inside of the chopper is coated in blood. There were 3 flight crew inside, you've feasted well.

>You've gained a skillpoint. This is the last skillpoint you can gain by eating 'normal' people.

The slaughter has damaged some of the controls, which are smoking and fizzling. It seems some kind of auto-hover was turned on, so you wont fall out the sky straight away, but this bird is definitely going down.....

Hey QM are you confortable or not with lewd stuff ?

>>37124146
So what can the skillpoint be spent on?

Oh and by the way, we'd better, y'know, leap to safety or whatever. Somehow...

Or, we could ride this shit and probably die, or get seriously injured, y'know, flames n' shit.

Soo...Fuck this shit we gettin' the fuck outta here first!

>>37124146

You leap out of the smoking aircraft as it descends and land with a thud on the window of a nearby office building. People have gathered to watch the helicopter crashing, some appear to be on the phone to the emergency services.

They all start when you land on the window, though don't seem to notice you straight away.

A besuited man nearest to you is staring straight at you. He looks nervous then starts to back away. Whilst moving he whispers:

"Everyone get back, there's something on the other side of the window."

Everyones eyes are on you now, everyone is moving away. One woman screams and turns to run.

>Action?

>>37124150
Might do something soft it if there's enough demand and the time and context is right. Voice your opinions on twitter. Don't have any desire for it to turn into smut/fetish quest or to alienate any players who that would spoil things for.

>>37124195
RUN BITCH RUUUUUN!

Home, sneeki breeki like. Operate our way home y'know.

>>37124194

Will go into the options when you're in a safe place.

>>37124195
What happened to our camo skin? Run 3 streets into an alley then change to regular clothes. Let's mingle in the crowd and walk in the street.

>>37124195

Ah, damnit. Time to haul ass, our camouflage (assuming it was on) should've hidden any actual details from them. So now we just gotta make it outta here and find some place where they won't spot us. Maybe enjoy the afterglow of the meal.

Also voting to put our skill point into deepening the bond. We won't survive separation so being able to regenerate limbs would be incredibly useful. Especially if this is the last skill point we'll get normally for a while.

>>37124218
Mhm, alright. In that case, I'll repeat my previous statement. (>>37124206)

Fucking captcha being a total bitch today...

>>37124219

It makes you hard to see, not invisible. Being covered in blood doesnt help either.

>>37124050
Why do you think that?

>>37124195
Lick the window, then scurry down the side of the building.

>>37124195
Try to escape around a corner somewhere and then get onto a wall where we can blend in with stealth.

Also, can we spend that skillpoint now or do we have to wait?

>>37124241
Blood for the bloodgod.

>>37124241
Ugh.. blood.. my only weakness

>>37124271

>>37124218 should answer your question.

>>37124245
25 years, single, average life, no boyfriend, no friendly female coworkers, probably not so attractive.

>>37124285
Well if we follow the Hollywood cliche we're not only naturally better looking now and assertive but got abs too.
>Friendly female co worker
>Superior no less
Talk about cat fight

>>37124195
>Might do something soft it if there's enough demand and the time and context is right. Voice your opinions on twitter. Don't have any desire for it to turn into smut/fetish quest or to alienate any players who that would spoil things for.

A big fat no then, ok no problemo amigo.

>>37124285
Why would attractiveness and no friendly female coworkers stop a girl wanking on?

>>37124258
>>37124220
>>37124206

Still too glutted on brains, booze and pills to think rationally you open your mouth and lick the window, leaving a large smear of bloody slime.

Now everyone inside is running and screaming.

You scuttle down the side of the building as quickly as you can, relying on your speed, agility and somewhat compromised camouflage to make your getaway.

When you're nearly a block away you hear the loud groaning of twisting metal. You turn and see the helicopter, which had crashed, burning into the side of a nearby building. Float out of the building, and settle gently into the street, now cordoned off by emergency services. There also look to be a number of armed military personnel in attendance.

You continue to observe, mystified as the flames extinguish themselves. The source of these phenomena soon becomes clear.
A bald figure clad in elaborate military body armour hangs in the air 100 feet above the crash site, one hand reaching out towards the helicopter. It appears to be an androgenous looking woman, surgical scars visible on her shaved head.

As you continue to watch, she turns her head in your direction. Brows furrowed as if searching. It's like she can sense your attention.

A dull humming sound builds, as if the air around you was being charged with static electricity.

>Action?

>>37124431
Get the fuck out of there.

>>37124431
Oh shit time to move 'cause here comes the zap.

>>37124368
i mean, she probably doesn't interact well with people.

>>37124431

GREAT, ask if she know a good scientist for our parasyte problem.

>>37124431
You can sense the symbiote in your mind with completely unfamiliar feeling. The feeling of anxiety.. fear.. you're no longer the hunter but the hunted. Escape.. evaluate...grow in strength..

>>37124444

>>37124473
>>37124499

I guess we've established that GTFO'ing is the best option. What's your opinion QM?

>>37124527
I think he wanted us to try to eat her what with how he made sure to say that the helicopter kills were the last skillpoints we'd get for 'normal' people immediately followed by throwing a psychic at us.

On the other hand, she's floating in the air, has massive damage type advantage on us, and we're high as fuck. So screw that.

>>37124485
We definitely need bond 2. Although it can't "easily" heal burn damage, third degree burns won't kill you if you run away. And it would unlock bond 3 later which might completely heal us.

Still, getting any upgrade is crucial before fighting her.

>Symbiote
>Ravenous desire for human brains

I realize this is purely fetish fuel but fuck off.

>>37124549
Can't we just be a xeno/symbiote in a comicbook world?

You flee as fast as you can.

You run and scuttle down alleys, over rooftops and even hitch a ride on the roof of a train.

After having taken the most confusing route possible to shake any possible pursuit, you arrive back on your street...

You apartment building is cordoned off. A SWAT team, various soldiers and a large armoured truck are standing guard outside. Figures in hazmat suits are walking out the door with what looks like your cocoon sealed in transparent plastic on a wheeled trolley.

This isnt good.

Your apartment is clearly no longer an option.

Three possible hideouts leap to mind.

The Sewers: Dark, dank and seldom visited. The tunnels go on for miles underground. You could no doubt easily find somewhere to *nest* down there.

Derelict mansion: You recall going past a derelict mansion in the suburbs several times in your past life. It was partially gutted by fire and has been abandoned for years. Its large enough that you could find somewhere tucked away and you're only likely to contend with bums and the occasional vandal.

Househunting: Find a suitable new place with all the comforts. Discreetly get rid of the current occupants then make yourself at home.

The River: Apparently in your monstrous form you are more than capable of breathing underwater and can swim quite well. An underwater nest would be very well hidden but you would need to remain in monstrous form whenever you're there.

>Choice?

>>37124537
Yeah, I noticed the bait but I atleast aint falling for it.

Say I was a host, of say not-venom, and I was high as balls on sleeping tabs&painkillers if I saw someone with powers OBVIOUSLY surpassing mine, I'd nope the fuck out.

Fight or flight? Nigga we gettin the fuck outta here, 'cause that's what will keep us alive.

Now I'm thinking oftaking a cocktail of my own aswell. To, bond with the charecter y'know...

Cheap Estonian vodka (Viru Valge) "40%" alcohol (estonians cannot into calculating alcohol, it's everything from strong water to suicide in a bottle) and some xanor's (Xanax but with a different name.) and some Marli glögi, mmhm, this gun' be a good mix, it replaces weed on my list 'cause I aint got no weed, plus I'm saving money for a proper bong. All whitey like...

This just turned into a slight shitpost...Fuck.

>>37124549
Can you not into Marvel's symbiotes?

>>37124596

>Derelict mansion

Aw yiss. Classy squatting with free meals, now that's luxury.

>>37124549
It would be fetish-y if we were nice and in control but we're not, we're are just female venom but with even less control.
>>37124596
>Derelict Mansion
Fuck the sewers, too cliche. Going househunting will get us found out at some point and having the ability to think about things in a regular form is too useful to pass up.

>>37124596
Mansion. Preferably one with a piano we can play solemnly whe the law inevitably catches up to us.

>>37124596

Above should obviously read 'four options' rather than three.

As to how mercy looks, in my mind she's on the attractive side of average. But certainly wouldnt be winning any beauty pagents.

>>37124596
>Derelict mansion
Relatively clean, vagrant meals will come to us occasionally, plenty of space. And if anyone notices our human shape coming or going, we can explain it as being an insurance adjuster surveying it for the new owners, calculating repair costs.

>>37124596
Somebody might miss the occupants in any house we decided to take over, somebody is probably less likely to miss whatever bums snuck into the abadoned mansion. Sewers are probably best for just hiding though.

>>37124596
>Derelict mansion
Sounds the coolest.

>>37124596
>The River: Apparently in your monstrous form you are more than capable of breathing underwater and can swim quite well. An underwater nest would be very well hidden but you would need to remain in monstrous form whenever you're there.
Best safest option. Fucks with sonics and fucks with fire.

>>37124596
>The River
We waterymbiote now.

>>37124596
>The sewers:dark DANK and seldom visited.
>Que growing weed in the NYC sewer system.

I'm actually going to go with the mansion.
Because we can morph on a Adidas tracksuit and drink cheap vodka whilst slavsquatting in a fancy mansion.

>>37124637
Can enhance sonics. IIRC, divers have said that being under water near a group of active dolphins can be VERY intense of the ears.

>>37124596
I've been found out.. oh god.. it's not safe here. They probably know my identity. *Grows a hood to cover my head*.. how did this happen.. damn it Mercy, now's not the time to panic. Think, girl.. where..
The mansion. It's probably still there. I can collect my thoughts and rest there.

>>37124637
>fucks with sonics
I'm not sure what you know about water but sound/vibrations tends to travel better through water than air because water is more tightly packed. If anything sonics are boosted.

>>37124664
Not to mention the electricity

>>37124662

I'm pretty sure QM meant "votes motivated with in-character reasons" instead of "posts made in-character" when he mentioned those. And if not, you might want to reconsider anyway because that's pretty cringe-worthy. Just sayin'.

>>37124664
>>37124654
Only if they were designed to work underwater in the first place. Take something for the air and try to use it underwater and it's just not going to work.

>>37124678
I thought cringe worthy was the thread's charm

>>37124710

There's cringeworthy and then there's *emote* Gaia-tier cringeworthy.

>>37124722
Well, I'm not familiar with Gaia but if proper representation was your concern I didn't intend to deliver a full post, just convey the idea with enough roleplaying.

>>37124770
But it's noted

>>37124013
>Does the symbiote have a reproductive drive that we're aware of?

Why do you think it bond in the first place? It picked Mercy because it wanted a female form.

>>37124770

Just putting it out there. Try checking out some other quests if you're not sure on how putting in votes goes. After all, the idea is that every vote should be for in-character reasons with a hint of player directions. I reckon the QM's incentive was just to deal with samefags trying to get their out-of-character or troll votes trying to get through.

At least, I assume that's the case. For all I know, you could have been right in intent all along. In which case I'm still going to give you the advice to leave *emote* shit at the door. That'll get you frowned upon no matter the thread or board.

She could be gay. I'm just saying.

>>37124813
Maybe just luck of the draw? What if it escaped from a military facility and everything is connected? It just sensed us and it was safe enough for it to bind. We were sleeping I think, so easy prey.

>Derelict Mansion

You quickly leave your old neighbourhood and travel to the suburbs clinging to tops of buses and trains, when you reach your destination, the sun is setting.

The mansion is just as you remembered, far from the road and surrounded by an overgrown garden. You aren’t likely to attract much attention here. One of the wings is partially collapsed, clearly gutted by an old fire and many of the windows and doors are boarded up.
You enter and explore the premises, this place will be ideal. Still operating on instinct, you occupy what looks like it was once the dining room. It’s large and located at the center of the building, any trespasser would have to go aways to find it.

You spin a large web in one corner of the room, vibrations caused by anyone entering or moving about the building will travel down the web, alerting you to any danger whilst you’re resting on it.

As you are building a cocoon for your impending evolution, the web trembles. When you investigate you find that two teenagers. A male and female, have snuck in the building.

They are kissing passionately when you fall upon them. As you have just fed well you leave them alive. Wrapping them up in webbing from chin to toe and leaving them stuck to your web for later.

Finally safe you are able to become human again.

Your prisoners look on, horrified and disgusted as your face becomes human again, fleshy tendrils and alien teeth still visible around your neck and head. The symbiote remains from the neck down. There’s little point expending effort transforming all the way here.

>Evolution choices…

>>37124813
If its anything like the marvel symbiote, which all the pictures of venom leads me to believe. Im pretty sure they reproduce via asexual reproduction.

>>37124915

Stealth 3: Assume the form of another person, any age, gender or bodyshape.

Bond 2: Join with the symbiote more completely, becoming less human. You will gain the ability to quickly regenerate damage in both forms, up to and including loss of limbs and decapitation. Damage inflicted by heat, noise and radiation is harder to heal.

Predator 1: Gain a poisonous bite in your monstrous form. You are able to alter the effect and potency of the poison at will.

>Choice?

>>37124950
We already have bond 2 thought?

Shouldn't that option be for bond 3?

>>37124950
With the Bond, doesn't it go both ways? We'd be less able to resist the tendencies of the Symbiote, certainly, but wouldn't those tendencies in turn be curbed by the symbiote becoming more human in nature?

>>37124970
Pastebin says we have bond 2 already.

As the only thing thats guaranteed her survival has been instincts brought about by the symbiote it would make sense for her to rely on it more.
>>37124950
Im going for Bond 2

>>37124950

Bond. Booooond. That regen is going to be really useful considering our circumstances and the lack of hospitals we'll be able to visit while wanted and infested with the symbiote and all that.

>>37124950
>Stealth 3: Assume the form of another person, any age, gender or bodyshape.

>>37124930
We should see if we can bud off new symbiotes and put them into our captives. If nothing else it will give us a bit of cover if the heroes have to chase multiple symbiotes.

>>37124950
Bond

>>37125007
See i think if we could have other symbiotes it'd be pretty awesome, but for some reason the marvel symbiotes really like to kill their parents.

>>37124915

Ah, goddamnit. Why'd we have to web up two kids that'll easily be missed and go back to human right in front of them? This is going to be an issue unless we can assure their silence.

Voting for bond. Even if we gain control of our actions as if we act instintively, I'm sure none of us wants to get burned or electrified by pesky heroes and not be able to heal.

I mean, it's true that we'll more likely loose more control but I preffer to loose control than my life...

>>37125052
If you don't mind being wasteful and even more of a monster, we could just shoot them and dump them, brains untouched, in an alley somewhere so that it looks like a mugging or something.

>>37124969
>>37124969

It's more about Mercy and the symbiote becoming one being rather than seperate entities. Think of it more as the symbiote ceasing to exist and Mercy becoming a more alien and predatory creature who retains some human features.

Bond can also have unanticipated side effects...

>>37125047
Not a problem if we leave them webbed up and move to a different city. When they break free and start eating people, the heroes will hopefully blame the initial attacks on them as well.

>>37124950

>>37125136

Well, Xeno said that more Bond means that the line between the symbiote and us starts to blur, so that's probably what'll happen. We'll start getting more and more control because it starts being "us" more every time we increase Bond.

>>37124903

>>37125184

We already have no control over the symbiote. How could it be worse? Unless it swallows us whole which would plain end the premise.

This will probably be more of an identity crisis like in Body Snatcher Quest.

>>37125161

You shudder as the symbiote joins with you completely. It's desires and your desires are now the same. Its flesh and your flesh are now one. It is now impossible for you to be separated.

>You can quickly regenerate almost all damage in both forms up to and including loss of limbs and decapitation. Damage inflicted by heat, noise and radiation is harder to heal.

>You have gained perfect night vision in human form.

>Your human form is less....human. Your teeth have become pointed and your tongue is the same as when transformed. This gives your speech an unsettling hissing quality.

>Your mannerisms, body language and general demeanor have become alien and disturbing. If you spend time in close proximity to someone, they will be unnerved, noticing that something is very wrong with you.

Totally off topic & not the place for it, but in my late teens I became very bicurious to the point of essentially being gay and only dating men. Now I'm pretty much 90% straight. I know a gay guy who did the opposite in his late twenties. It does happen.

question: how will you handle combat?

Not gonna lie, the idea and most of the images came from the /d/ and /co/ symbiote girl threads. Which were fetish city. But I want to explore it as a horror concept first and foremost.

But as said earlier, I'm open to the idea of adding a little *subtle* eroticism if the context is right, enough people want it and there are no strong objections.

I suggest you look up DeadAnon's stuff if you want something overtly fetishized though. Not gonna find it here.

>Totally off topic & not the place for it, but in my late teens I became very bicurious to the point of essentially being gay and only dating men

I-I had sex once, with a friend. I was in 15 and he was 17/18 maybe? and we were like best buds and grew together sort of vibe and one night, we got some ourselves some alchool and drank too much when he stayed at my parents place. Maybe we shouldn't have tried it and, stuff happened between us. Next morning was, "bitter" to say. At least when we realized what we did. Never again though. We are in our late twenties now and we still don't talk about it, he has his own life, I have mine. After that day, we kept our distance.

I never touched a drink ever since.

>>37125512
Be careful with that though, if you allow some erotic stuff to happen at some point then people will try to get that to happen again even when its not appropriate to the context. Just dont want this to become a shit storm, especially considering its the internet and people can just google shit if they wanna get off.

The marvel symbiotes.

I personally feel that Venom would be more frightening/disturbing with a slender, feminine figure than a hulking, muscular/masculine one. Also I think the contrast between a delicate, expressive feminine face and the featureless monster/symbiote face is really strong.

There's bits and bobs of Alien (one of my favourite movies) and Prototype. You can probably expect to see some Eclipse Phase influence as well.

>I just hope it won't be a huge part of it. A token post but that's it. It can ruin things.

If it's there at all, it will be subtle (much like the eroticism in Alien). I share your feelings on the matter.

Would be nice to differentiate between the "human" registering the blood, the pain, the viscera, but the symbiote just seeing an expended food source.

The symbiote needs a particular diet of chemicals, of which I distinctly remember adrenaline being an important one, in order to survive. Interestingly this makes Eddie Brock, who suffered a particular genetic problem that made him over-produce adrenaline in his own body the 'ideal' candidate for symbiosis.

This is getting pretty boring. We seem to have gotten over the muderhobo mentality but she's changing waaaay too fast.

>>37128330
Thats true, theres not been much character building.

>>37130112
No I wanted to attempt to explore exactly what she could do and maybe use it to maybe improve her situation or just revel in the freedom. Now instead we have someone who went from normal person to full tilt murderhobo in just under two days.

Even the most fucked up Marvel symbiotes did better than this.

>>37131090

Out of interest. Which action proposing posts were yours?

>>37131245
None this time, didn't have time to really do much else than follow it. Did some in previous threads, though.

So when Mercy goes monstermode, is it just a freaky suit or does she actually turn into a monster?

>>37131657
Pretty sure it's full fusion now, literally inseparable now. Not as bad as carnage but yeah, we're a monster now. Full tilt brain eating inhuman shoot on sight monster.

>>37131737

I meant physically. If you X-rayed her would you see a human under the goop? Or is she actually transformed?

>>37131806
I imagine we still have organs, bones and nervous systems and such, but some things are missing or goopified now, like our skin in its entirety.

>>37131827
>>37131806

It looks like there must have been some degree of transformation from the start. Dunno how accurate OPs images are to Mercy, but she grew a functional mouth capable of biting off most of someone's head and swallowing it. Can't see how that's possible with a suit/mask or w/e.

Before we worry about murderhoboing keep in mind we lost all inhibitions today. Mercy's still in there, somewhere.

>>37132053
She's just unable to discern her own wants from the symbiote.

Hmmm I need, Milk, Eggs, Brains, Cheese. Waaait.. We have cheese.

>>37132078
There really isn't anything to discern anymore. They're the same entity at this point.

>>37132090

My intention was body-horror transformation from the start, particularly with her face and head. This (awesome) image was a big inspiration and is what's happening beneath the goo when her face is swallowed up.

When she's in the monstrous form, it's not something she's wearing. It's her 'naked' body.

The black substance is her skin, the mouth, tongue, teeth etc are her mouth, tongue, teeth and so on.

>>37132109
So yeah our skin and stomach and possibly brain are now all goo then, right?

See im fine with Mercy becoming full on symbiote, i just want there to be a little more than we eat stuff. Like symbiotes can talk, it'd be cool to have it try and convey its feelings/urges to us at some point

>>37132109
Will ever have the Venom Marathon?

>>37132128
It may have been incapable of doing such while at lower levels of bonding.

>>37132125
I don't think it's as simple as just "It's goo". I mean, it's probably a safe assumption to make and a workable simplification to just look at it that way what with how she can survive getting fucking decapitated, but it looks like there's something more to it than that.

>>37132128
Too late every time i suggested it other anons ignored it. Doesn't matter now it is us we are it no voices.

>>37132141
And now it doesn't have to since we are it, no more Mercy. Just the Symbiote.

>>37132141
You..You make a lot of sense my friend.

>>37132155
It's fusing not deleting. However it is invasive. So it's less adopting Mercy's wants instead of infusing it's own.

>>37132184
More like subsuming her will to it's own. 100 willpower monster vs. average human willpower, It's replacing Mercy with itself. Like a planet eats a comet.

>>37132236
So we play the mindless monster with a human mind?

>>37132265
More like the monster who ate someone's memories and understood it enough to pass for human if it wants too for a short time.

>>37132155
>no more Mercy. Just the Symbiote.
It's both of them together.

The reason it seems like Mercy is "gone" is because her entire character somehow managed to be more boring and less engrossing than murderhobo space goo. She was some lame office bitch loner who hated her job. The entirety of her human interactions in this quest were her getting picked on by Jan.

To be honest, though, I have absolutely no problem with how this is going. I like this and I think it's funny how people see Symbiote Girl Quest, try to have the mc remove the symbiote or suicide, and then the QM cockslaps them with murderhoboing for it. It's awesome.

>>37132265
That can't be permanent. I imagine those brains have to cause some intelligence increase right?

Right?

I'm quite resistant to the idea of the symbiote being able to 'talk'. Partly because I find it very difficult to write such a conversation and have the symbiote retain it's alien 'otherness'.

The general feel I'm going for is that Mercy's conscious mind is mostly human. But her subconscious desires, instincts and so on are now very alien and predatory.

She consciously *knows* turning into a monster and eating peoples brains is fucked up and wrong. But on a subconscious/emotional level it *feels* right. She *can* consciously resist those impulses and desires, but it isn't easy.

This threads murderhoboing, from an in character perspective was mostly because people decided to get her shitfaced and thus largely acting on impulse and emotion.

Does eating make you smarter?

>>37132288
Yeah i knew that was going to fly like a brick, hence why i suggested twice to try and talk to it. But everyone was like we need to be a martyr. They should have tried at link one when we had a chance to beat it with willpower, now it's gone.

>>37132299
So more akin to a monster with human memories that can fake it for a short time than a human like i said.

>>37132286
>>37132334
>monster who ate someone's memories
No, she's a human who acquired monstrous impulses.

It is not the same thing as a monster who ate someone's memories, even if the resulting being is pretty much the same thing - a monster that can fake not being a monster.

>>37132299
Question QM.... Will our sons and daughters (or whatever the symbiotes call one another) be like us or will we have some Venom/Toxin types?

>>37132387
>even if the resulting being is pretty much the same thing
Should have said "even if the resulting being behaves much in the same way".

>>37132387
Fair enough, point is our humanity is pretty much 0 or in the negatives now.

>>37132387
This guy gets it.

>>37132392
I havn't given much thought to spawning other symbiotes as of yet. Will probably come into play at some point...

>>37132299
You're going for horror, right? And you said you want to do some prewriting, right?

Well, here's a suggestion: Write some dream sequences, preferably some -human- memories, stuff to make Mercy more likable and more relatable. Maybe they don't all have to be dream sequences, they can just be some shit that she remembers and looks back on and feels something. Birthday parties, Christmas, riding a bike, the time her puppy died and she learned what death is. Since you didn't do this for the first 3 threads, you missed out big time. It would have been powerful to drop something like this during the bonding, as she was experiencing the hunger for the first time, using her enhanced abilities for the first time, her first kill, the wake of her first kill. You could have had the symbiote's perspective leak into the memories as it goes on, becoming more vivid and less distinct from Mercy herself as time goes on. Her subtly wondering why it was that she even wanted to go to that steakhouse that one time, or thinking about the time her friend fell out of the tree and hit her head and instead of wincing, she drools. I dunno man. It just seems like missing the beginning before Bond2 really gimped your ability to go for the horror. It's all about the slow build.

>>37132586
>This
You gotta get us more invested in Mercy if you want this transformation to have any actual impact, maybe monologues as she does one thing out of instinct and how she feels about it, The dream sequence ideas really good, id go with that

>>37132456
>Humanity 0

I wouldn't say so. I think Mercy has the capacity to at least convince herself she's a good person in a bad situation.

It would be easy for her to rationalize her behaviour as "The alien made me do it". As opposed to the truth, which is "The alien made it feel good."

>>37132586

I agree and those are fantastic ideas. The first two threads were a spur of the moment thing done with no planning or pre-writing, which unfortunately shows. I'm trying to do a little pre-writing/planning here and there now things are rolling (My first big post after the OP was a prewritten one)

I'll try and work some of that slow-build, subtle stuff in as best I can. But I simply don't have the time to pre-write and plan out the quest as extensively as we both might like.

Feel free to ping me ideas and suggestions though and I'll work them as best I can.

You know all the internal rewiring in Mercy has me wondering, does she even have a sex/reproductive drive anymore? Sexuality and it's repression is a big part of human interaction, but now it very unnecessary for her.

>>37135288
Did Eddie Brock or Flash ever stop loving or get sexually attracted to someone while wearing Venom?

The fact that you enjoy eating somebody else or not needing a sexual interaction to leave your spawn doesn't mean you can't have some "Fun" if you like someone

>>37135300
Symbiotes are asexual so any urges like that are not coming from the symbiote, and as the symbiotes urges are whats taking over i doubt she has that kind of drive any more.

>>37135300
So yes she does but it's pretty mixed up and she'd likely eat the guy by accident mid coupling then? Because seems like a lot of the carnivorous impulses got mixed into the pleasure centers.

>>37135321
Probably.

Or perhaps she'll eat just right before very "act" with the guy.

Or the guy is a super and kicks your ass if you try eating him while doing that...

>>37135321
Well considering her body has literally began to fuse with the symbiote, like if she can be decapitated and survive chances are her organs and other body parts are almost completely changed, she probably doesnt even have her original reproductive system.
>Gore/Symbiote fags trying so hard to get a good lay in

>>37135360
Considering there are only 3 supers around and one of them is female, chances of that last one are low. Still i could see her "stocking up" before if she wanted to. Thing is strong emotion brings out the symbiote full force, meaning if he's any good our secret is blown sky high, or he's a dead man or both.

>>37135373
Just curious actually, symbiotes are a turn off for me. Now world building and thinking things through get me hard. Good point about her organs though. Thanks anon!

Living clothes, corruption, vore, they're all pretty common fetishes to be fair.

>>37135569
Don't forget the inevitable alien femdom.

>>37130112
I wanted to go with noble suicide, as a character build up to come to terms with the inevitable, because she can't die. The symbiote would have intervened and ate someone on the way, forcing her to realize she not only can't escape this fate, but has to stay in control.

>>37135569
Can't see even a hint of it but I guess that's like saying feet are/aren't sexual.

>>37135394

That's the problem with emotions empowering the symbiote.

I'd just like to leave a note here:

We've surpassed any bond that any Marvel character has ever had with a symbiote.

Even Brock, Gargan, Flash and Cletus Kassady could be decapitated out of the suit and die. There's even a comic in which Carnage's head gets imapled and Cletus dies but the symbiote lives on and commands his body.

We've arrived to a point in which we are not two living beings in a single shape, we're at last one, that perfect bond never seen before.

This must obviously have changed not only our internal system but our very way to see the world now.

Perhaps very deep there was Mercy before but now there's just... this, it's more than the symbiote and more than Mercy, it's the thoughts and feelings of both combined. We may have Mercy's feelings in something but we're going to feel them combined from the Symbiote's point of view.

Imagine that Mercy has always a crush on a boy, she finds him handsome, this thing we've become now not only finds him handsome but also tasty and appetizing. The symbiote most likely would try to cause an interaction to get close, satisfy the host and then... well, satisfy itself by eating that handsome and tasty brain.

>>37135687
There's also Dr. Connors/the lizard option, though not exactly a symbiote it could turn into a mister hide thing. Mercy in an internal struggle takes over, has her abilities but is relatively of clear mind, similar to the doctor in the lizard's body. To what end though? Plain character progression before she willingly succumbs and becomes a villain? Turns to a punisher tier super 'hero'? It's easier to decide on the end goal of the character's rule and then figure out the path to it, rather than the opposite. But we can't do that here.

>>37135687
I'm pretty sure if our head gets chopped off, even in monster form, we're still gonna die. Maybe one more rank of Bond, I feel like we're still Cletus level.

>>37135743
see>>37125248
Apparently Whatever is stuck on Mercy has a vested interest in keeping her somewhat alive.

>>37135743
Not anymore, bond 2 means we survive it

>>37135687
Actually Carnage fused with Cletus Kasady at a cellular level so we have not by any means surpassed any marvel characters level of bond.

>>37135756
>>37135762
o shit I can't read
time to go back to grade school

>>37135770
I imagine Each symbiote reacts differently to each host, but yes Carnage was fucking broken then, making monofilaments of himself and all.

>>37135770
Perhaps we're also fused at cellular level now?

I mean fuck our human form is not fully human anymore and we can't get sepparated from the symbiote.

>>37135770
Still, we're going through this story from Mercy's perspective, so naturally we think she's the only one affected, shifting from 'light' to dark, but there's no reason to assume the symbiote isn't influenced by us either. The middle road is still pretty bad but it could still be the middle road. Bond doesn't have to mean 100% symbiote. I would have 'retconned' (meditation or some shit) it so at least we're in full control of our desires and when we shift, rather than the alien taking over.

>>37135788
Carnage could do unbelievably broken things at that level, Xeno gives us half of what he could do, we'd be unstoppable until a world level meta showed up, and if we were smart about it one wouldn't find us until we were on his level.

>>37135794
We still have our mostly human overbrain, just everything else is gone.

I just havent really seen Mercy have any real impact on the symbiote yet, so until that happens im gonna act under the idea that we have very little input into what we do anymore. Its a shame we went on a murder spree and ende up becoming fused so quickly, its made it hard to determine our level of control aswell as what the symbiote is capable of aswell as its desires

>>37135845
Think that's how most of us are going to play her now as well. Poor girl had no chance. Honestly see her going the way of Carnage.

>>37135845
In the story's frame it was rather unavoidable. The alien takes over on its own and then we kill. It's a fact that we kill, we can't stop it, but we can decide who we kill, and well, we get evolution points and spend it on the coolest shit.

Need to change the formula but it wasn't really the players' decision (though I have no doubt we would have went murderbone either way)

>>37135862
I think a cool change would be that, if we fully bond too quickly and Mercy is no more, then we control the symbiote. Maybe give him a goal or some shit.

>>37135845
symbiote desires:
live

there you go

>>37135845
The problem here were the drugs and alcohol right before the rampage. We lost our chance to explore Mercy as a character as she nullified herself to the symbiote.

Then, seeing how good the host has been leaving us have such a command in decisions and such a feast of flesh and brains we've decided to bond even more with Mercy.

Also it's not hard to know what the symbiote desires, it desires what every living being does:
To Exist.

Obviously feeding is a requeriment to stay alive and staying alive is a requeriment to exist. It doesn't seem to care for human politics and such, it just seems to want to feast, and he's landed right on paradise, a planet full of so many human brains to feast with...

>>37135881
Well most of the symbiotes have goals, although they are pretty limited. Most want to kill their parents/siblings/children and take over specific hosts. Although there are exceptions, Toxin is pretty much a superhero although he talked with his host much more than we did so i dont see it going that way for us.

>>37135880
He has a goal though. Feed and grow, maybe pop out a few other symbiotes given enough time. This is basically superpowered genestealer cult quest now.

>>37135902
True and we can work with that, i think he just needs a little bit of more obvious sentience (Basic communication like most of them do) and we'd be golden.

>>37135918
Why? Why would he speak to his prey? Why would he speak at all when his children would be have exactly the same motives, just different power? Speaking about things is something prey and hosts do, he has no need.

>>37135918
Oh but we can talk, jussst a bit like thisss but we can...

What surprises me is that Mercy is still able talk with such a tongue and teeth size on a normal sized human mouth

>>37135897
So it's not really terribly out of proportion with the murderbone.
Mercy is in a bad situation, the symbiote took over her and she just wasn't able to resist it yet due to lack of tools.

- Alien morphed twice and killed people. Mercy had minor impact not able to stop it, just send the symbiote on more acceptable targets. Not really a fault of Mercy.

- Mercy tries to kill herself, suicide failed and the symbiote took over again, killing.

-The symbiote grew in strength in part due to eating and "us" grew in strength due to being accustomed to each other. The bonding decision wasn't really Mercy's, it was an out of the game decision by us, and in the game it was just a random mutation.

There's plenty of room for character development still. Out of two days the Alien was in control maybe a quarter of the time, and naturally went on a rampage. We can use the bonding as a plot device to control it now, since Mercy and the Symbiote are increasingly merging to one character, with a single will. No rampaging unless she desires it.

>>37135926
True i guess

>>37135943
Teeth aren't fully symbiote sized.

>your teeth have become pointed and your tongue is the same as when transformed. This gives your speech an unsettling hissing quality.

>>37135955
Think Hellsing vampire teeth(all huamn sized fangs) with a symbiote tongue sized appropriately.

>>37135951
>Implying it isn't the symbiote taking over nerve and other bodily functions more completely for better control. Mercy's pretty much an afterthought now.

>>37135974
>Implying the two beings aren't merging and becoming something more than the sum of their parts

Mercy is currently drugged out of her skull. We'll have to wait until she sobers up to see where she's at, or if she's there at all.

>>37135951
The issue with that controlling logic is that while they're bonding. It's gone the route of subconscious.

The rampaging might be lessened but only because she thinks she wants to do it.

It's altering her perceptions of reality. She's now got a craving for brains and a difficult time figuring out why that's wrong.

The symbiote hasn't suddenly snagged a care for human life. Mercy is a monster now.

I have a feeling we're going to need Mercy's brain not for moral quandaries but for ensuring this symbiote doesn't get them both caught.

Caution do to a now government investigation, unless the local PD are cleared to investigate super hero type crimes. Luring prey away from open areas and then going full monster instead of just racing in.

It's best to think that's she's becoming the symbiote rather than it's gaining a conscious.

One question then
At bond one the symbiote acts as a suit pretty much, it only went on a rampage because we drank ourselves stupid and it had free reign.

At bond 2 we are fused, and considering our regenerative abilities most of our body isnt really human anymore.

At bond 3 im guessing we go carnage, so cellular bonding.
At this point has the symbiote pretty much completely absorbed Mercy? as in its stronger and can bond with another host with all the strength gained from absorbing a human?

>>37135880
What goal? We're going to be playing with an entity that eats the most important muscle, but never seems to use it. Bonding so quickly with the symbiote was a mistake.

>>37135996
Fair enough, but she hasn't the force of will that other hosts had. Lets face it Cletus was so crazy he made the symbiote worse, and other hosts had either managed to talk the other down, had weaker symbiotes they could beat into shape, or Were mentally tough as hell if not totally sane. Mercy had none of those advantages.

>>37136002
Pretty much, Mercy is now at best a don't get caught subroutine.

>>37136003
3 is speculation. Unless we get a direct quote from Xeno it's best not to throw out assumptions on the level ups.

With the way leveling up appears to work and how we'll need to consume beings that are greater than the standard human, we may have a more singular relationship with the symbiote.

Why bond with other prey if this one is working actively to consume them?

>>37136017
>Why bond with other prey when this one is already broken in.

>>37136015
>Fair enough, but she hasn't the force of will that other hosts had. Lets face it Cletus was so crazy he made the symbiote worse, and other hosts had either managed to talk the other down, had weaker symbiotes they could beat into shape, or Were mentally tough as hell if not totally sane. Mercy had none of those advantages.

All the more reason to keep it's current host. It was able to establish a bond without huge risks.

My guess is that Mercy is at a level of bonding that totally fucks her humanity. But she doesn't know it yet. And when she comes down off of that 16 year old battle plan of BOOZE AND PILLS! She'll start having some serious freak out moments.. or worse lack of them when she tries to determine what's wrong with capturing two kids for later consumption.

>>37135974
>>Implying it isn't the symbiote taking over
That's what I'm going against. >>37135794

>>37136002
>>37136015
>>37136017

Maybe I've got the unpopular opinion at the party, but I'd like to see there be more to it than just hunt>kill>eat delicious brains>evolve. I don't think Xeno is gonna just erase Mercy like a slate, especially not with the discussion on character development that went on earlier.

I think it's still too early in the game to definitively say how it'll play out; girly made some bad decisions, but she might fight her way back up. Or hell, just wind up stuck in the middle somewhere.

>>37136002
>The symbiote hasn't suddenly snagged a care for human life.

Or maybe it does? What if we're influencing it as much as it is influencing us?

>>37136044
Yeah its too early to talk in any absolutes but its fun to speculate while we wait on xeno

>>37136044
I think. It's got horror in the tags. So no matter how you try to humanize Mercy. In the long run it she's fucked.

I think Xeno's current problem with the quick bonding isn't that it BAd Ebil grr grr. But that it's been too quick to fully show the proper amout of terror and mind fuck involved in the process.

>>37136050
I'll be pissed if you can some how warp this into BRAIN EATING MONSTER IS ACTUALLY GOOD QUEST WEZ A HERO!


I came for the horror and the twisting monster. But Can't vote for slower/more pace appropriate because at every opportunity individuals such as yourself try to throw in a "save the kitten" vote.

Not every character is a hero or has a good end.

Help me understand here. Why is it that so many of you seem to be people who saw "Symbiote Girl Quest", saw that this was going to be brain eating monster or at the very least morally grey as fuck, and then decided that you were going to make it your goal to remove the symbiote and be a normal boring office worker? Do you think that nullifying the concept of the quest on a fundamental level is "winning" or something? It just seems weird to me, like if I was watching someone in a smut quest freaking out about how there must be no smut, or if I was in a firefighter quest and there were people wanting to do arson all the time, or I guess if I was in an arsonist quest and someone wanted to never light a fire ever.

>>37136029
Exactly Symbiotes aren't symbiotic, they're parasites, Mercy is gone all that's left is her memories and maybe enough of her mind to fake being human. Symbiotes in the marvel universe were notoriously unlucky for finding physically great hosts, but ones that for several reasons were not mentally suitable in the long term.

>>37136035
Mercy got overwhelmed, we leveled far too fast and now the blank slate that is her has been more or less replaced.

>>37136044
Thing is, she's been overwhelmed i do not see a hungry parasite giving control backa nd with 75+ dc in first level bonding, anything comparable to guidance or control is now a pipe dream. She's gone, symbiote now is in conrtol and will devour all it wants when it wants util stopped.

>>37136069
We leveled far too quickly for the horror, Xeno through levels at us. We're comparable to several symbiotes bonded for weeks if not months in two days. She's going to be extinction level in a few weeks.

I sure hops first or later a Predatpr comes to town to hunt us down and we get to play with him.

>>37136072
They want to tame it or in the aspect or removing it keep the abilities I'd wager.

Or have "urges" to do bad things that they always resist somehow.

>>37136092
I hope that you either hate your cellphone. Or Google translate hates you.

>>37136092
Unless it comes within a week we'll be too strong for it to kill. Xeno really messed up the leveling system in our favor to be overpowered. Leveling up a perk should cost either x+1 skill points or x^2 points right now we'll be able to kill the entire planet in a few weeks.

>>37136033
Would be interesting to be coming outta that coccoon to find the prey quite talkative and reasonable which somehow feels weird.
So that maybe it's not just Mercy learning about what the symbiote works like but the other way around, too.
So that in the end it might grow out of that insatiable hunger part. It won't have different urges but maybe not pursue them with unrelenting aggression and disregard for the humans. It might understand who will and won't be missed, who may be more or less deserving of being snacked etc.

So with the bond progressing we go from sane, reasonably adjusted human versus mindless hungry animal to something of a middle ground. An intelligent killer, a predator with rules and boundaries accepted in the interest of self-preservation. Like Hannibal but without the pretense of civilization. Maybe even a dark vigilante bend to it.

>>37136097
That's retarded. I'm sick of quests where the mc is crazy/a monster/a sociopath, but it never has any impact beyond the QM writing some thoughts about wanting to do actions in line with what they are.

>>37136069
You're getting a little bit worked up. You alright there?

I'd just like there to be more to it than "murder everything, then hide, then murder even more things." That's cool and all, but this seems like a decent opportunity for some real grey-on-grey/black-on-black morality. If you're just playing the parasite, everything's decently flat--it's just a gore simulator then.

A good end is way out of reach, but a decent end wouldn't hurt.

>>37136072
To be contrary, or to be an asshole. Pretty much it. Sometimes it's fun to derail and go off on a tangent, but when people come to play something straight it can rustle jimmies.

>>37136091
We'll just have to see. I have faith in the girl.

>>37136109
Have you read young monster quest or HQR?

>>37136113
Totally fine. Things are working essentually as the situation should pan out. When you say, "I want grey on grey/black on black." I'm reminded of >>37136109 what this guy said.

The problem is you play the hero, when the character isn't one.

>>37136069
I never said we can't be a villain nor that every character needs a happy kitten ending, just that bond doesn't mean submitting to the symbiote, more that both of us change until we reach the relative middle.

>>37136091
>Mercy got overwhelmed, we leveled far too fast and now the blank slate that is her has been more or less replaced.

Not necessarily, no reason to assume that. I think we're going to see a more balanced play actually.

>>37136113
Thing is that's all symbiote wants and Mercy is not strong enough to impose her will on it, Unlike the marvel universe she not magically able to beat it down. She is a monster, all she is now is a mosnter, she will feed and feed and feed until she is killed or until she strips the planet bare.

>>37136147
How would we do that? from the onset the symbiote was stronger and we both knew it. It's in control now and when it sees something it wants it will do it. We have no agency besides planning around how to get it what it wants now.

>>37136142
Head masters not a great writer.

HQR's biggest plot device is your friends are captured and brainwashed, again!

>>37136172
Right. I'm pushing for darker horrible things for something a bit more balanced, because I'm positive the guy begging for middle of the road now will demand to be the hero this city needs if he gets the shot.

>>37136145


I'd go for this. >>37136106 Not "good" by any stretch--a brutal murderer who kills mostly without remorse, but has boundaries. Something with lines that shouldn't be crossed, though they may get muddled.

She's terrified, she's confused, but she likes it, so she decides to justify it--there are plenty of people out there who are seven shades of fucked up, and nobody will miss them. It wouldn't hurt to maybe eat one, right? Or two? Or five? Or thirty? Let it spiral from there. Maybe some people see whatever the hell it is as a vigilante, or an avenger; other people see it for what it is, which is a monster that sometimes wears the skin of a woman, and that people say at one point -was- a woman.

And when people talk, legends get made. From there it just grows. If you're just a dumb animal, well, you can't really take advantage of that; but for something with intelligence? Well, there's plenty of brains to be had in being a legend.

>>37136182
We'll just have to see!

>>37136142
The players in both quests consistently try to de-monster the mcs and the only thing preventing it is the QMs periodically slapping control away and having them do some random destruction.

>>37136103
Or we get increasingly difficult enemies. But we can't get points anymore from regular people anymore, so we'll see a slow.

>>37136072
Office worker?

I wanted to be Bateman. Instead, I get poor impulse control.

>>37136182
I wouldn't go as far as to say we have no agency. I'd wait for headmaster on that one. We'll have agency it'll just be our mind that wants to eat people now and we'll now be able to disagree with that.

>>37136193
You say let it spiral from there but instead we'll get something like >>37136194

If not from you from the however many others who don't stick around for the after talk.

>>37136195
We'll have to eat supers now for points so that'll drive us towards something, but we can still satiate the ourselves by consuming humans.

>>37136229
Headmaster* Xeno rather.

Sorry was complaining about Young monster and forgot to turn that off apparently.

>>37136212
...Bateman doesn't have poor impulse control?
