>>37248106
You don't believe Maria drags her feet and is clumsy with handling matters?

>>37248248
Last thread Hex decided to stay up for an entire night to write an update the next morning he threw it all out and the thread died on a pretty sour note.

>>37248278
I don't believe you were intending to quote me.

>>37248285
Huh, I remember the thread dying, but I guess I hadn't read about that.

>>37248334
Warm anon had a rant at hex on the ask afterwards.

>>37248074
Maybe not an actual spell or anything, but maybe she like activated her Totom?

It looks like she got some buffs for it at least.

>>37248385
Ah then I definitely didn't see that, I kinda got really bad about following all the supplementary stuff.

>>37248385
I hope Hex's ask isn't being spammed by autists like some other QMs.

I don't follow that many of them, but no one can get one as bad as Schteel has, I can't believe anyone is worse than that.

It was, but only in regards to CCQ and some early stuff about the setting being sexist or some bullshit.

>Go say that to Azure's face, faggot. He'll either break down crying or punch you.
I'll take your word for it.

>>37248396
That's what it looks like.

The medium post we just got mentioned Totems, and said to invoke it you need to use the emotion most connected to your totem as a bridge.

Maria's desire to protect people seems like the Raven bridge. But she doesn't seem to be able to really control it, and Eriadne seems to have shocked her out of it.

No really that's the reason. She met us again and was pretty upset.

I thought we should tip her again after that though.

>>37248896
Spoke to her, I mean.

>>37248896
She ran into us though and said YEA NO FUCK YOU STOP GETTING HIGH AS A KITE IN THE HALLWAYS and left.

>>37250791

Just difference between our cute gay Maria and beta's Maria being a bitch about it was kinda funny, they sorta similar but still completely different.

>>37250944
>>37250542
>>37250481
What bothered me more than the manhating was actually how it lead to her consciously trying to hate Sora into submission. That's just a cunt thing to do no matter what your experiences are otherwise.
Worse, that seems to be normal with her.

>>37251016
Considering she's in grimderp shitville and has cat totem, she seems nice really.

>>37251016
>Beta timeline a shit
Speaking of it though, that Maria is a cleric?

>>37251090
>Speaking of it though, that Maria is a cleric?
What? Why do you think so? She explicitly said she didn't even know much of the gods.

>>37251120
No you're right, I confused her Frostlight for the one the clerics get, Watchfire.

Still though, that thing rare in the main timeline.

>>37250944
>>37251016
Kind fo makes me want to see how much of a fight our Maria and Beta!Maria would get into if they met each other.

>>37247678

She's healthy, not fat.

>>37251836
Fatty fat fat. She's probably only heavy for certain people.

>>37251836

It would be amazing anon. Amazing.

>>37252044

>>37252063
>Details.
Childbearing.

>>37252044
What, for making delicious love to or rearing children?
>>37252063
I know, right?

>>37251278
>>37251090
Yes, the Frostlight is the Witch equivalent of the Watchfire or -less formally- Aura you saw around Liliana/felt around Helena.
>>37251836
Being fat isn't healthy, anon.

>>37252437
Frostlight is rare in the main time line right?

Does it have to do with beta being set in a darker age?

>>37252804
>Does it have to do with beta being set in a darker age?
Or maybe Beta!Maria is just that talented! We'll see more of this later, but in general you can assume it's due to increased need of people/the world/reality/the witch(es) in question.

>>37253250
I'm being a good European and going to sleep, thanks for posting the thread at last!

>>37253475

>>37247678
>[] "Uhm…"

>[] "Ex… plain".

Turns out I started too late, sorry. BRB sleep, focus is elusive at this hour and I don't think anyone needs a repeat of last time.

Just a rough estimate, would there be a desire for a more long-range specc or is the current direction of Maria's skills alright?
>>37253794
Why wouldn't I? It's probably what helped me push through at last. Stuff's very good at helping me get less tied up in my head.
>>37253475
It is good to be back.

>>37255010
>current direction of Maria's skills alright?
Current is fine. Sora and the others would be better at range anyway.
Though some kind of long range stun would be nice.

>>37255010
what >>37255039 said

have a good sleep Hex we'll watch over you

>>37255039
Oooh actually some kind of grab would be amazing.

>>37255039
>>37255131
But yeah overall keeping Maria's long range magic skills to things that disable people or get them closer to us/us closer to them should be fine.
Any damage we would need to do at range would be covered by our crossbow if needed.

>>37255087
And OP didn't sleep that night.

Anyways, back to writing, thank you for your patience and being all around great.

We're back to the size of the Helena PoV if not less. Well it's to be expected.
>>37259370

Bedtime bump, this anons heading to bed, can another please keep the thread alive?

>>37262905
I can bump it a few times, sure.

Got some family business to unexpectedly take care of, not kill yet.
>>37260177
Soon.
>>37260391
Hmm. Got it. You have that though not entirely developed mostly. Then again, Helena's a pretty gud healer and probably isn't going anywhere for a while.

>>37260177

>>37265576
Oh yeah I agree it would be useful, but it kinda sounded like it had been discussed before and I wasn't sure if I had missed something or it had happened somewhere outside of the threads or something.

>>37266353
It was discussed before, I remember people asking about tech levels and crossbows on the AskFM at least a month ago. Not sure how much of it was in the thread.

>>37266353
I think it happened during the aftermath of a thread or something. Dunno, ask OP or the guys who brought it up.

Bump

What's with the deleted posts? They were on topic

>>37269813
Anon was probably shitposting hard somewhere else and Jan-kun nuked every post he made.

>>37269856
Probably. Might have deleted them to avoid image limit but that's hardly under threat so probably not.

>>37269932
I think that's pretty standard these days.

>>37266353
My apologies, this was indeed mentioned in the meta; Please forgive my incredible rudeness in this regard.

Things known so far: Crossbows can fire specialized ammo tipped with so-called Converter Crystals. A converter crystal has the ability to store or (duh) convert one energy form to another.

Addendum: The most popular crossbow round is a storage-type one that can release heat accumulated over time in one instant, setting almost any target on fire within seconds.

Of course, idiots tend to overheat them, which is among the top four leading ways of stupidly crippling yourself in the setting.

>which is among the top four leading ways of stupidly crippling yourself in the setting.
Workplace health and safety/10.

>>37270151
Hmmm, sounds useful. Will we have any opportunity to acquire one and/or training with it though?

>>37270194
We have Eva who is a trained artificer.
Though wasting them on training may piss her off a bit.

>>37270194
I think it's fair to assume Maria knows a tiny bit about them though with the emphasis on *tiny*.
> acquire
Nag someone >>37270240, this someone for example. Or buy them. You're a witch. Witches don't face gun control.

>tfw he will never get faster

>>37272405
If you just believe anon, miracles can happen.

>>37272517
But he's already broken the 1 day mark by a fair few hours.
He can;t turn back time.
This quest will die in three day hell.

>>37272537
eh, whats a few hours? as long as he doesn't expand that into two days, and then three days and so on

>>37272575
To be honest if he ever went past three days for an update I would just stop bumping the thread.

>>37272575
Two days is probably the soonest we will get this time because he normally doesn;t update in the morning.
That's the time of day he throws all his work out and starts again.

>>37272703
>spoiler
Don't say such awful things, anon!

>>37272825
I'm not trying to be mean or anything anon it's just how Hex works.
He works on the update for most of the night and then after he goes to sleep and wakes up he mind fucks him over and he deletes everything.
It kinda rotates through like this for a few days until he's so guilty about it that he just forces as update out and hates it.
It's even worse when there isn't a thread up and it will take people literally screaming at him for him to actually post.
I love Hex's writing, but this stupid cycle of his can get him stuck like this for like a week at a time.

Bump before bed.

>>37270151
I guess these bolts are a one-use kinda thing?

>>37276499
I would imagine the heat required the make someone spontaneously combust would melt the bolt, but maybe there are some expensive materials you can get them in that won't.

>>37276499
Usually, yea. It's the kind of thing that gets rookies whipped by everyone in their platoon in turn because they're as fun to shoot as they're expensive to produce.

I mean sure, Witches do travel with armies for these purposes, but it's never fun having to explain to your superior why you've been booking time with the company's crafter despite no gear failures being reported and there not having been an engagement for weeks.


>>37272405
Hey, it was already today by my clock that makes it-- never mind. Sorry. Need to be less of an asshat.

>>37273567
This anon -sadly- isn't wrong.

>>37279041
So hurry up and update.

FFS, Hexer, calm the OCD, submit your first draft like every other QM, and fucking quest.

>>37280408
You're the last person anyone will want to hear that from.

>>37281585
Why bother? This thread's dead in the water.

>>37281647
Have faith anon!

The Hex will deliver!

Bedtime bump, can a fellow anon please keep the thread alive? Hex shall endure, and so to shall we alongside him.

I'm aware it is an ill omen at best and lacking any credibility at worst, but I was requested to inform rather than stall and I'll do so and assess the created damage later.

I'm currently experiencing a repeat of the technical troubles from a few months ago and frankly it's looking worse. I'll later on perform a thorough cleaning in the hopes of restoring functioning but I'm not optimistic and shall attempt to borrow a laptop from somewhere instead.

I'm deeply sorry, though as words are cheap I hope to make it up somehow eventually.

Thank you.
>>37280408
I shall try.

>>37285836

>>37286651
>She simply makes herself available for those interested
Public use Liliana when?

>>37286691
I don't think she's an exhibitionist.

At least not more than once or twice.

>>37286691
Liliana seems like she'd make herself available to the kind of people for whom a more intimate experience would be preferred, to be honest.

Something tells me that this thread is going to be the one where we don't get an update at all.

>>37288040
Well Hex had an update in progress, but his PC shat itself, so if he can get it stable again he can post what he's got

>>37286512
>>37286651
Seduction is a bit too mild a word with her god's portfolio.

>>37286900
So she's a love slut?

>>37288640
The best kind of slut.

Okay, PC seems back to not being moody. Equally importantly, people will probably not need my aid for the next couple hours. Feel free to resume blaming the QM for any additional delays.

Somehow something tells me I just made a terrible fool of myself and I flush, looking away from my friend's impossibly beautiful face for something -anything- else to fix my attention on. Look towards the door maybe… oh. OH. Great, just great, this day really isn't getting any better is it. Well of course not, not when I am getting involved.

At this rate everyone will end up *dead* before the week next begins. Really I need to either get better at what I'm supposed to do or find a way of quietly getting out of here before my terrible luck and totally awful failures at protecting those close to me hurts my friends too much. Like now: Helena is walking in using Liliana as support, limping on one leg and for once looking really miserable.

Yep, I dropped her. Pa would be so disappointed in me right now; I did one thing and completely failed to pay attention to the other. One day and I'm already showing everyone what a failure of a guard I'd have grown up to be. Just perfect, if I didn't know them better I could fool myself into thinking everyone wasn't totally disgusted with me right now, but unfortunately I don't have that option.

Alright, alright, focus, me.. You can at least pretend you didn't notice and try to apologize for being such a complete mess. Maybe they'll forgive you and-- realizing I'm still laying on the floor I seat myself on my , releasing the beast which promptly flutters off my hands and settles down on her crossed legs.

Those will come out after the biting. Human blood tends to set off their more primal side.

Right, there was that vague statement in QTG. Hex sounded seriously drunk during that.

Have faith anon!

I'm sure what you've got is fine Hex!

Hex please PLEASE just post.
It will be fine I assure you.

"Uhm…"I begin, somewhat at a loss, still avoiding anything but sideways glances at Eriadne or my other friends who seem busy talking in hushed tones, certainly about how I just messed up everything. Focus, focus, force your body to obey! I can feel myself grow a little more cold and pale, my mind keeping the urge to flush crimson just barely under control. Imagining a golden string of light from center of my head going down into my chest I force my heart to beat slower, breaths calming. Can't quite stop the shivers or what must look like a totally miserable expression though, but nobody is perfect.

Wh-- did Eriadne say anything? Time gets so weird when I'm like this. One of my teachers speculated I wasn't quite "complete" yet, though Pa insisted to say "my training" wasn't and to not worry too much about it. Right right where were we? Uhm, yes, Eriadne tried to tell me something.

"Lady Maria, might you perhaps venture an explanation in regards to your, ah, rather puzzling way of entrance?", right, that was it. Aah, but how to even begin to explain that to her withou sounding like a complete idiot? 'I'm sorry, I just kind of thought everyone was going to die so my Deep Training set off and then I heard some weird voice'? If that sounds silly to myself who knows how it's going to sound to everyone else.

Ugh, this is just the worst but I'll have to explain it *somehow* if I'm not going seem even stranger than I certainly already do. Think of something, anything, me. Prove you're not completely common and at least know enough to properly account for your actions. Account? Yes, I'm pretty sure that's how you say it. By all the powers, what a complete and utter mess.

Eep, Eriadne's still waiting, one of her grey-white eyebrows raised, a slight smile playing around those lush lips of hers.

Holy shit Maria you are so fucking gay.

>>37306999
All good Hex, you just got to keep chipping away at them

>>37306999
So is it best of first 3? Best sum or individual rolls? Are crits a thing?
10, 6, 10 is nice. 22 is great. 7, 1, 10 sounds fun though.

And we can take delays, we only bully because of love.

>>37306930
I still don't get what happened? Last time i checked, something was jumping/flying so Maria just tried to knock it down. Wasn't that what happened? If it is so, it should be obvious what Maria did. Why would they be questioning her actions? What is going on?

>>37307018
Bitch please you know Ma and Pa are proud of her for catching a dragon.

>>37307018
Anon pls.
Best!Ma and Best!Pa will support Maria in her life no matter what.

>>37307016
>7, 1, 10 sounds fun though.
>>37307025
>So... 7, 1, 10
Where are you getting these from? I'm pretty sure its just best sum out of 3 which would be 22.

>>37306930
>[] Try to do a full explanation (Roll 3d10, first three rolls count)

>>37307066
Why is Maria the guilty one if a teacher flies to her first thing she opens her door?

>>37307071
10 and 1 cancel out each other for the first so take the 7
1 is a crit so take that
10 is a crit so take that as well
I guess?
>>37307089
because it's a teacher?

>>37307025
What?

>>37306999
>Apologies for the delay, this had to be beaten into shape and grew much longer in the process.
Well, this thread probably only has one more day in it.
So if you really try you could probably get another update out.
We believe in you senpai!

>>37307041
Yeah, I'm confused too. She opens the door and something comes flying straight at her and people don't understand why she tried to defend herself?

>>37307107
What the fuck kind of rules are these and when the fuck were they introduced?

I am confused as shit about what you're going on about.

>>37307128
No one has any idea what's going on right now anon, thats why spaghetti is spilling and explanations are being attempted.

>>37307107
>10 and 1 cancel out each other for the first so take the 7
>1 is a crit so take that
>10 is a crit so take that as well
>I guess?
That makes no sense at fucking all.

Do please explain for this retard how that works because I'm not seeing a 1 anywhere in the the first set of rolls I rolled.

>>37307107
>because it's a teacher?
What difference does that make? Why did it/he/she came flying at the group when the door opened?

>>37307153
Shouldn't it be obvious though? Didn't the others just see the teacher flying towards the three girls as soon as they opened the door?

>>37307089
>>37307066
>>37307041
We went OPERATOR on a harmless lizard thing and broke into our room. That's what happened. It's probably Eri's pet and from her perspective we were overreacting as fuck.
> dorks gonna dork

>>37307185
>see the teacher flying
Uhh u wot m8?

Where the hell did the teacher come from? It's some winged beast thing that Eri apparently has control of. Go read the OP.

>>37307191
>Harmless
We opened the door and it comes flying and screeching at us. Harmless is the last thing you'd think with split-secend decision making.

>>37307191
Wait. What about the teacher then? The flying thing was not a teacher like anons just said? Is a teacher around but not what flew? Or is there no teacher at all?

>>37307209
It came from >>37307066

>>37307224
Where the fuck did you get the teacher from anon? Go reread the update in the OP. There is no teacher.

>>37307224
There is no teacher. I don't know where anyone got that from but it's wrong.

>>37307224
>Or is there no teacher at all?
There is no teacher, see >>37307191 >>37307243
>>37307244

So
>Eriadne's pet monster which Maria never seen before flew to Maria's face first thing she opened the door.
>Maria knocked the thing down
It should be pretty easy to explain.

>>37307222
While sure it's possible it was just being friendly, there's absolutely no way Maria would have known, as she's never seen this creature before. Any normal person would assume it's attacking.

>>37307282
I think the difficult bit about explaining is the whole Deep Training issue and how that might not be a comfortable topic for Maria to talk about.

>>37307282
I assume it's a common pet from Eriadne's home and Maria's reaction would be like someone suplexing your dog because it jumped on them.
Alongside the deep training and the totem stuff.

>>37307303
She doesn't need to eplain deep training.
>A monster came flying at my face.
>I thought it was hostile.
>I tried to defend myself and my friends.

>>37307319
It sounds hilarious as fuck in that perspective.

>>37307328
>She doesn't need to eplain deep training.
>>37306913
>'I'm sorry, I just kind of thought everyone was going to die so my Deep Training set off and then I heard some weird voice'?
Well questions have been raised.

>>37307342
She didn't say that out loud. She just thought that explanation would sound ridicilous. She doesn't need to use such an explanation regardless, so it doesn't matter.

>>37307328
>It sounds hilarious as fuck in that perspective.
Especially when they follow it with "I thought it was about to kill all of us".

Well, it seems we have reached the end of this thread then.

>>37307452

Maybe move some discussion to ghost posting on this thread.

She and Eriadne latched on to one another because their relative upbringings made it natural for them to do so.

Her affection for Eriadne is another thing entirely, to be honest, and it seems Lilliana's gifts have made it more obvious in her thoughts what she sees in Eriadne is more than just that initial 'lowly guard, upstanding noble' reaction they started off with.

Maria is so far in the closet Narnia is a dim light on the horizon.
