>Leaving Archibald here with us?

>"Is that bitch still hiding?" he asks Charlotte.
>"Still hasn't moved," she replies.
>"Good. Now there's nothing keeping me from skewering her."


With a downright murderous look on his face, Archibald storms out of the alley and out to the sidewalk.

"Gauthier, which way did she run off to?" he asks, glancing at Charlotte.
"Keep on down that way," Charlotte replies. "she ducked into another alley."

Not even bothering to so much as say "thanks," Archibald breaks into a sprint in the direction that Charlotte specified. And then I go chasing right after him.

"Hey!" Charlotte shouts. "What are you doing!?"
"I'm gonna back him up," I reply, stopping for a few seconds to tell them where I'm going.
"Damn it..." Charlotte sighs. "I guess I'm stuck coming with you..."

As she runs after me, Charlotte turns to Mina... who rolls her eyes and puts away her phone before joining the rest of us.

She looks really pissed.

Skidding to a halt to a halt once he reaches the alley that Jessica holed herself up in, Archibald calls forth what I'm assuming are as many triangles as he can form at one time. Then he flexes his hand, and the triangles combine into a bunch of... floating swords?

I guess it's a good idea for him to get serious.

Archibald positions his floating swords in front of him before running into the alley... I'm tempted to go right in after him, but I notice that Mina hasn't caught up so I wait up for her before going in (naturally, Charlotte caught up pace with me like two seconds after I started running).

Once everyone's all set, I take the lead as we run into the alley.

Just in time to see Archibald SKEWER the shell of ice that Jessica's hiding in with every last one of his triangle swords at once. It looks like a pincushion.

not bad

While the three of us rush towards Archibald, he just stands there and stares at his handiwork.

"Oh God..." Mina gasps. "Did he really just-"
"It definitely looks like he did," Charlotte replies.

With a wave of his hand, the swords that Archibald stabbed the ice with break apart into their component triangles, and... it looks like he's concentrating?

"What's that scraping sound?" I ask, but I get my answer soon afterwards. Little by little, the white ice grows transparent and I can see what I assume are Archibald's triangles spinning around -inside- the ice like some kind of blender...

...oh God, THAT'S what his plan was.

As the ice begins to crack, I brace myself for a super gory explosion of blood and guts and all that horrible stuff... but as the shell breaks, all I feel is the cool mist of shredded ice hitting my face.

"Huh?" I say, squinting. "There's no..."
"No," Archibald says, "there isn't."
"But how?" I ask. "I -saw- her hole herself up in that ice, and Charlotte's been watching it the entire time!"

I want to be relieved that I didn't have to bear witness to what would've amounted to a blood smoothie, but all I feel is disappointment that she's still alive.

I think that evil voice is starting to rub off on me.

Ignoring both of us, Charlotte walks right up to the remains of the ice shell and points down.

"Look," she says. "She froze the pavement and escaped into the sewers."
"What!?" I shout. "But I could've sworn that she was spent, and-"
"Of course it wouldn't have been that easy," Archibald mutters under his breath. "K- Hurt Irene like that and killed those other guys and now she's free to go and kill some more."

All of my strength leaves my body and I find myself dropping to my knees.

"Oh no..." I moan as I cover my eyes with my hands.

Overshine isn't going to like this, but even he should know that this isn't to his advantage. What's worse, our enemy has marked us as theirs and we need a new plan to deal with them.

Doritos, you able to get people to watch the sewer exits? Also, any healing institutions, she's got some awesome burns on her arms and no doubt she's bruised and broken a few ribs.
Charlotte, might be worth telling Gauthier that we got bogeys.
Okay. So Jessica is max mad at us, and she's taken a lot of damage to both HP and MP.

Then there's the fact that Mr ... Shadowrun blackmail espionage man ... has branch dudes scouring the city, looking for Theresa. Theresa in some trouble.

I screwed up.

I screwed up SO bad. Jessica got away and I'm totally spent and Mina hates me and there's no way that I'll be of any use even if we run down there after that murdering piece of shit...

...but now isn't the time to start crying about that. No, I can do that later.

"We..." I push off my knee and stand upright, "...we need to regroup. I'm completely spent and Irene's hurt and Mina might be too, and-"
"No, I'm fine," Mina says.
"We should still get you looked at-"
"No," she shakes her head. "I'm done with this shit for tonight, and I honestly don't feel like being around you right now."
"Mina?" Charlotte calls out to her as she starts to walk away.

"What passes for my 'ride' is here so I'm out," Mina says as she walks out of the alley. "I'll talk to you later, Charlotte."
"Mina?" I call out. "Where are you-"
"Bye."

Just as Mina turns around the corner, I chase after her. I want to apologize and set thins right between us and-

"Wha?"

I make it to the sidewalk... and I don't see any trace of her. Not in the direction that I SAW her walking in, not in the opposite way down the street... nothing.

To be fair we're in a definite pickle, but we gotta prioritize in order to get out of this in good shape.
1. Don't die - Miss Frostbitch and her godlike power will come after us since we don't have the juice to finish her

2. Protect and mend Relationship with Charlotte - The biggest crutch to Cecile's sanity. If she's knocked out along with Mina and Theresa then Overchan will have an easy time taking over (assuming he wants to, but right now he seems pretty ok will just encouraging us to REMOVE)

Refriend Mina - After this fiasco give her a few days and talk to her at school casually. If she's still uneasy it'll take a lot longer than a few threads to solve it, so play it slow.

Bonus Objective: Theresa - As long as she's not actively attempting to murder us or interfere with the other 3 points than she's (relatively) fine to leave alone.

Theresa. It had to be Theresa, that's the only explanation. Mina called her up and she came and got her so she could ditch me... no no no this is not the time for moping. And so, I suck it in and walk back into the alley where Charlotte and Archibald are still looking down the hole that Jessica escaped in.

"Oh, you're back," Archibald glances at me. "Where'd your friend go?"
"She's... gone," I reply.

Don't let it get you down...

"So what now?" I ask. "Are you going to have your people go down there and search for her?"
"Me and Irene are the only Branch-using members of the Tree of Life active in this city," Archibald replies. "And since she's out of commission until tomorrow, no. There's jack shit that I can do about the Qliphoth bitch right now."
"As expected," Charlotte sighs. "I can try and track her down, but that's sure to take a while..." she turns to me. "And she knows your face, right?"
"Yeah," I nod. "...and the fact that I killed that Leo guy, too."

I know that I promised Allison that I'd come home tonight, but I don't think that I'll be able to for fear of Jessica attacking us there.

"Great," Archibald groans. "And protocol says that I -have- to offer you sanctuary until this shit blows over..."
"What?" Charlotte stares at him. "What makes you think that we'd actually be willing to go with you!?"
"It's an -offer-," he replies. "I'm only offering it because I have to, it's up to you as to whether or not you take it."

So our anti pinkie bitch strategy is for us and Archi to attack and for Char to scout?

Mina could tank for us if she ever becomes motivated enough.

Also of note: Theresa knew what was happening but did jack shit.

>>37388048
You've seen Cecile text. She's not some superhero or a mercenary. She's a teenage girl who's in way over her head.

Mina and Theresa want to be out fighting crime like this, and Charlotte does it for a living, so she's clearly feeling the pressure to contribute. At the same time, the last time she did she ended up killing someone, which she still really hasn't sorted out with emotionally.

Honestly, Mina's expectations of us are WAY too high. Cecile isn't a tactician, and the two of them haven't even done any basic teamwork exercises or strategy planning. It's also partially Mina's fault for rushing in without a plan.

Cecile really sucks at this, and everyone needs to stop expecting her to be perfect, from both an IC and OoC standpoint.

Dont worry Arch, you've still got 30 people in the thread who like your quest. I'm sure those two will come back once we stop making every bad decision and fix our relationships.

>>37388181
This really needs to be said at some point. I think Charlotte could really help us through this if we were a bit more open with her about it.

>>37388317
Yes, because in that case the best option was helping her best friend in any way possible.

>>37388231
We didn't have a chance! Mina just sort of yelled at us for not fixing her mistake, we countered with the fact that we didn't want her to get away, and then the two of them used the counterpoint of 'you should have read our minds and done the tactically optimal thing'.

Charlotte was there. She should have taken charge of the situation, told Cecile to thaw Mina, and pursue by herself.

They're expecting a level of competence equal to theirs, and it just isn't happening. Cecile still wants to help, and I'm sure they want her to help, but she doesn't know what to do a lot of the time.

"Dammit, Cecile..." she mutters, taking my hand in hers. "Like hell I'm going to let you be alone with those Tree of Life people."
"Huh?" I blink a few times.
"If you're going with this guy then I'm coming with you."

I feel just a little bit better now. I thought Charlotte hated me too, but she's actually willing to...

"Great," Archibald grumbles while fiddling with his phone. "Now I gotta tell them that we'll be harboring the daughter of DAVID GAUTHIER, of all people..."

While Charlotte wraps her arm around my shoulders and tries to console me, Archibald gives the angriest, most sarcastic "asking for help" phonecall that I've ever heard. He tells whoever it is at the other end of the line about Jessica escaping into the sewers, the fact that I'M the one who killed Leo... when the black van that he called for finally shows up, I'm half-expecting a million stormtroopers to pour out of it and point guns at me.

But instead, a friendly-looking middle-aged man simply opens up the back and tells us to take a seat.

Mina rushed in by herself against someone with a basically unknown powerset. She deserves at least some fault for that.

Also, the first thing we did in that fight was steal the light from her eyes. That's been our first move in basically every team based fight.

Imagine Cecile in this situation. You use your only meaningful ability outside of death lasers, and then it just doesn't work. Then, your friend gets frozen in a block of ice and the person who did it (who is also a serial killer) runs off. Cartoon logic dictates that people frozen in ice are just fine after being thawed out. Split second decision making is the time a mistake like that would occur.

So now Cecile thinks her friend will be fine and the serial killer who did that to her is getting away. She probably wants to get her, but the last fight she killed someone in was heavily reliant on her sight-stealing. She probably didn't want to kill someone again, and in this situation her previous strategy wouldn't even work well. Thus, she gave control to overshine to waste her, since overshine is stronger than she is, and it would also remove some of the guilt if overshine ended up killing her rather than Cecile.

Cecile's thought process probably wasn't "killing that bitch was more important than saving you." Her thought process was probably "Mina's armor will protect her from that ice, I should chase after her so she can't hurt someone else."

Cecile made a wrong decision. It was 100% in character for that to happen. Why exactly Mina is expecting a high level of competence from Cecile with all of the reasons she shouldn't be is beyond me.

I'm here because I enjoy seeing the effort put into building relationships be hilariously misplaced, and the relationships crumble in futility. It is also amusing to watch every attempt to fix a bad decision result in two more bad decisions.

It's not Grimdark. It's the knowledge that you live in a place where miracles and victories are possible, the world can improve, good things can happen to good people, and there is plentiful hope, but you're just so much of a screwup that it all slips from your reach.

The knowledge that world is ready for, accepting of, and waiting for you to become a hero. But as you reach for your place in the sunlight, all you can do is fall facefirst in the mud. Not because the world hates you. Not because life is hard. But because the world loves you, and life is easy, and you STILL can't handle it.

That is despair.
It is not morally grey people in bad situations of inevitable hurt.
It is good people in good situations of inevitable happiness, which BY YOUR ACTIONS you cause to be thrown away and discarded.

>>37388439
>Why exactly Mina is expecting a high level of competence from Cecile with all of the reasons she shouldn't be is beyond me.
"Shit, my best friend is frozen in a block of ice and the one who did this is getting away, I'll just asume my friend's going to be all right so I can hunt down the one who did this." is not normal logic and Mina is well in her rights to be mad at CC for doing that.

>>37388498

>>37388410
Hi! How do I stop making bad decisions?

I completely emotionally devastated my friend
I abandoned my friend
I got my ass kicked in a fight
My girlfriend is upset at me

And I don't know how to stop being so bad.

People seem to be way over reacting, it's one bad thing that happened.
Plus it ends up being a pretty great opportunity for some character growth on CCs part

>>37388519
> I'll just asume my friend's going to be all right so I can hunt down the one who did this." is not normal logic

Of course it isn't normal logic. It's the panicked logic of a teenage girl finding herself in a combat situation and not thinking clearly. People on TV and in Movies get completely frozen all the time and are fine. Mina has a magic invulnerable suit of armor.

Factor in all of that and it's an understandable reaction. If anything, Mina should be mad at Charlotte for not calming Cecile down and having her do something rational.

We've already established that Cecile wasn't acting logically. The problem is that people were wrongly expecting her to.

>>37388498
Don't you need to head back to the studio and finish up season 2 Kotomine?

>>37388563
Not one bad thing, we just saw some one get stabbed, let our body basically get possessed and our two best friends hate us.

Who's gonna be her uncle Ben?

>>37388660
___ you. The person reading this post right now. Cecile knows you are guiding her. She relies on you. You will be missed. ___

>>37388633
Yeah, she has sort of been roped into this by all of her friends trying to do so and dating someone who has this as their job.

She clearly wants to help them and protect them, but outside of stealing light from people's eyes and murdering with death lasers, Cecile doesn't really know how. We aren't functioning well as part of a group, and that's what we need to fix if we continue.

That said, I'd be perfectly fine with not continuing. We can just elope with Charlotte to wherever and do what we please.

>>37388660
Allison obviously.

>>37388498
Are you me?

>>37388687
Or maybe let our Charlotte do her thing and be a house wife.

>>37388703
I was going to recommend that actually, but I'm not sure how well Cecile would cope with her going out and risking her life on a daily basis.

While I suppose it isn't much different from other couples with a member in a high risk job, I feel like the fact that she can shoot death lasers might make her a bit more hesitant to just sit on the sidelines.

But again, this is all stuff we really need to talk about with people.

In fact, a lot of the big problems and questions we have could be solved by sitting down and actually voicing some concerns and asking what other people think.

>>37388698
Remember that REALLY embarassing thing you did in High school? That thing you can NEVER live down? The secret you'll NEVER share to the internet because of how cringeworthy it was, where you genuinely can't believe how you could've been so naive and stupid?
You're correct.
You aren't that naive and stupid.
I am you.
And the one responsible for your lack of judgement at that critical point?
IT WAS ME.

Archibald gets into the passenger seat up in front while me and Charlotte sit in the back. Aside from telling us to sit tight, the guy driving the truck doesn't really say anything else to us.

"......" I glance over to Charlotte, who's looking out the window with a listless expression on her face. She's mad at me, I just know it. For leaving Mina back there while I chased after Jessica, for taking Archibald up on his offer, all of it.

All I want right now is for her to hold me, but...

"But you hate me and Mina hates me and THeresa hates me because I screwed up everything and Mina could've died in that block of ice and-" I start to choke up. "I'm so stupid..."

"I'm so sorry..." I cry. "All because of how stupid I was, you hurt your hands and Mina ran off and I just -know- she hates me!"

Saying that out loud just makes it hurt even more. Mina's been my best friend for as long as I can remember and even though we've gotten into fights before I've never seen her this mad at me.

"No she doesn't," Charlotte says. "She's just angry, that's all. You just need to work things out and explain yourself and I'm sure she'll understand."
"But that doesn't change what happened!"

I don't even know what the hell I'm supposed to do anymore!

"No, it doesn't," Charlotte replies. "But everyone makes mistakes, and you have even more trouble with that than most other people do thanks to that alternate personality."
"But I let it take control on purpose, and-"
"And you need to NEVER do that again, okay?" Charlotte says. "I know you might think it's easier to just let that thing go to town on everything that puts you and your loved ons in danger, but I've been down that road and it's not something that you want to do."

Maybe she's right...

"The more you let that thing take over, the stronger it gets," Charlotte says. "And I don't know what I'd do if the Cecile that I love was lost forever to it...'

Unable to do much of anything else, I just bury myself into Charlotte's chest and bawl my eyes out whole apologizing over and over again. She doesn't even scold me for being retarded or tell me what to do or any of that, instead she stays quiet and lets me cry it all out.

I manage to pull myself back together shortly before the van stops, wiping my face off with a handkerchief that Charlotte gives to me and making myself presentable just in time.

At the very least, I'm able to pass as something other than the miserable wreck that I actually am.

After the van pulls into what looks like a garage, Archibald hops out of the van and opens the door to the back where me and Charlotte are sitting.

"Alright, everyone out," he says with a disinterested look on his face. " have important stuff to do so let's get this over with sooner rather than later."
"Okay..." I mumble as I step out of the van.
"Some hospitality," Charlotte says to herself as she cuts everyone within eyeshot aside from me the most evil glare that I've ever seen from her.

From there, we follow Archibald out of the garage and into a large building connected to what looks like a large cathedral. I don't see too many people walking around inside, though there is a pretty large guy sitting at a desk by the front entrance.

"These are the girls I was telling you about," Archibald says to the man. "This chick right here," he points at me, "is the one who killed Leonardo Riselli and confronted Jessica Monell on her own earlier today."
"Impressive," the guy says, nodding to himself.
"And this one with the blonde hair is Charlotte Gauthier," Archibald says. "David Gauthier's daughter."
"...I see," he says as his expression darkens. "I take it that you're a Branch holder as well?"
"That's right," Charlotte replies.
"Would you mind telling us its name?" he asks.
"I would, actually," she replies curtly.

After letting out a long, exasperated sigh, the man turns back to me.

"And what about you?" he asks. "What's your Branch?"

"Sorry," I mumble, "I don't feel comfortable giving up that information."
"Figures," the man sighs. "Great, so we have no idea what they can do."
"The one with the glasses can shoot lasers," Archibald says, glaring at me. "I assume that's how she was able to kill Riselli."
"What, so you think that she's another-"
"Dunno," he shrugs. "And Gauthier's daughter looks to be about as strong as Irene at the very least, as well has having some type of clairvoyant ability. and that's about all I can tell from what I've seen of them."

I don't know how to feel about him just up and giving a report of our abilities after we told them that we weren't about to tell them... but whatever, I feel too awful to get offended right now.

And looking at Charlotte, she seems to be offended enough for both of us.

"Well in any event, they're being targeted by the serialkiller that we're supposed to be taking care of so it's our duty to offer them sanctuary," the man says.

Oh, he's wearing a priest's collar. I guess that makes sense, considering where we are.

"That's why we're here," Charlotte says, still sounding kind of antagonistic. "And Cecile's exhausted from fighting that woman, so..."
"Yes, we've prepared a room for you," the man sighs. "Right next to the one that Archibald is using, so he'll be able to intervene in case that woman is stupid enough to attack here."

That's not all that reassuring...

"Wait, you're giving them the room next door to my-" Archibald cuts himself off and takes a deep breath. "...of course you would..."
"That's right," he nods. "Now if you'd like to show these ladies there...?"
"Yeah, yeah..."

Mumbling something that I'm pretty sure is profane under his breath, Archibald starts down the hall and motions for us to follow him.

"...thanks," I mumble.
"What?" Archibald glances back at me while we walk up a flight of stairs.
"Thanks," I repeat myself. "I know you probably hate me but I do appreciate this."
"...whatever," he says, rolling his eyes. "I can't let personal feelings get in the way of my duty, that's all. Just think of this as payback for getting that psychotic bitch away from Irene."

He must really care about her.

"Umm, do you know if she's going to be alright?" I ask. "That stab wound looked horrible..."
"It sure as hell did," Archibald says, clenching his fist. "And then she..." it starts trembling.
"D- did she-"
"She'll be fine come the morning," Archibald mumbles. "And then we can go and kill that bitch and get back to what we came to this city for."

"Alright," Archibald sighs. "This is Irene's room right here," he says, tapping on a door, "this is mine," he taps on the door next to it, "and over here is where I guess you two'll be staying for the night."
"Thanks," I nod.
"Until Irene gets back, the three of us will be the only Branch holders in the building so be careful about assuming stuff," he warns us. "If you need something to eat then just ask for it and it'll be provided for you... and I'm gonna ask you to show some respect for the house of the Lord while I'm at it."
"Huh?"
"You two are sharing a room because that's how they decided to do things," he sighs, "but you're a couple, right?"
"What of it?" Charlotte snaps back. "Do you have something against l-"
"I don't give a damn," he cuts her off. "Irene's into girls too and she has enough respect not to fool around in places that're owned by the Church so I expect the same from you. Got it?"
"...yeah," I nod.

I'm really not in the mood to fool around, anyways.

"Great," Archibald says as he turns around and starts back down the hall. "I need to take care of some3thing important so I'll be seeing you later."

Yes, though nothing to the extent of the Tree of Life.

>Any major schisms?
Not really.

>Anyone pulled a PGQ pope yet?
There were a ton of witchhunts for Branch users throughout history.

>Is the tree of life restricted to religious membership?
They typically don't want you if you're not a believer.

>Anything like a medicine San frontier for branch users?
Not really.

>>37390118
>How do contractors compare with branch users?
Elemental-type Branch users are weaker than their Contractor counterparts.

>>37390134
>Any sword users in FDQ?
Yes.


And now I sleep. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for the thread arch, for what it's worth I enjoy Cecile being a bit of a fuck up because she's a normal girl in an extremely abnormal situation that showcase get flaws and succeeding at everything would be boring.

Who's the artist?

>>37390910
Hat-chan I guess?

>>37390670
Must be, Cecille's in the sub position.

I am of two minds regarding the mess CC finds herself in.

On the plus side, it shows that despite her super powers, CC is still human and capable of making terrible mistakes that come back to bite her ass and cause SUFFERING.

It however leaves me vaguely disturbed that this is not a result of a carefully written plot but a vote so autistic that it completely disregards the situation.

>>37391728
Yeah can we all agree no more overshine [Remove] mode? Cecile can do it herself and letting overshine get any stronger would be bad for everyone.

>>37391739
Definitely, but it's a great turning point for CC, to really see what letting it have power does.

>>37391758
Honestly CC has been a lot more thoughtful with her powers than Overshine has been.

Overshine tries to just overpower and overwhelm it's opponent and only uses tactics if that fails CC when she fights thinks ahead.

>>37391739
I think we have plenty of evidence saying that letting Over-chan take over is a terrible idea. It is a murderous psychopath solely interested in personal survival, willing to push anyone into the ditch towards that goal.

>>37391739
Sure, right now we'll all say we're never letting Overshine take control, but just you watch we'll do it again. Because anon just can't resist pushing the REMOVE button.

>>37391783
True, but how much you want to bet remove will get at least 33% of the vote next time combat comes up?

>>37391829
Thing is every time we push it things get worse. It give no advantage to us, fucks up our relationships and is a worse fighter than we are. Worse every time we press it is a possible game over. Anons who press it are retards. Saying this I realize next combat quest is over.

>>37390910
Friend of mine.

>>37391869
You'll kill the turtle with all the lewds!
Will there be more?
I want to see shower lewds and Charlotte getting pushed down by Cecile.

And where did everyone go at the end of the thread? It was super weird being the only one still posting.

>>37391964
Sleeping most likely not as big an audience for this as PGQ also a lot of enthusiasm got burned on the latest threads.

>>37391869
Please tell him/her some stranger on the internet appreciates their work greatly.

>>37391964
The thread started and ended while I was sleeping.

>>37391964
It was too early for most of Euros to have come around yet.

I just realized something: didn't CC's hands get messed up in that fight? How hasn't anyone noticed yet?

>>37391854
Yeah, we'll be as fucked over as Charlotte is.. oh wait, she's fine.

>>37392814
Because she didn't give in to her voice we keep feeding overshine it'll win then bad end, what part of that don't you get? In the mean time we keep letting it take control it will fuck over our friends. We have literally every incentive to not let it take control ever.

>all this backpedaling to justify CC's fuck ups
I get the in-universe explanation that Cecile isn't particularly experienced in high pressure situations, but it comes across as some people wanting a one-size-fits-all excuse to make terrible decisions and get away without the consequences for them.
If FDQ was a TV show, CC's fuck ups would be the bottom of the barrel moment where she decides to buck up her ideas and stop being such a liability. There's a narrative arc for her to go through. In a quest where her decisions are the result of the choices the players make, she might still have those excuses but us sat at out computers sure as hell don't.
Bad choices are bad choices, there's no point dwelling in the past but let's not stew in the insecurities of CC's lack of prowess. It's better to press on and ensure we correct CC's failings, rather than hide behind them whenever something goes awry.

>>37392988
I'm with you anon but for the most part i think anons will vote remove just to see the spaghetti until overshine gets strong enough to crush us.

>>37392988
You want an excuse for the playerbase? Every time we meet a bad guy the same pattern repeats: We or our allies kick their ass, then shit happens and they escape intact (or ready to regenerate later), waiting to come back readier and angrier.

I don't approve of the REMOVE trigger but it's not hard to see why we would want to take care of the bad guys as soon as possible.

>>37393043
Narratively speaking, CC's relationship with Over-chan will only get worse before it gets better.
She's got to hit that real low point where it's just her and that evil voice inside her head, and then she triumphantly overcomes it.

>>37393076
Also worth noting that as bad as CC took frying chucklehead, it's understandable that she would be inclined to let her darker side take over to do it. Taking life, even if it is essential to your or your loved one's survival, is never an easy thing and Overshine offers her an easy route out of that feeling.

>>37393076
Removing is fine but CC can do it just as well as overchan, indeed she beat portal boy much easier than overchan beat ice bitch. We get no advantage for using remove, and overshine fucks up our relationships which makes us weaker and gets stronger every time we do so. We keep doing the trigger it will eat us because it sees us as lesser than it.

>>37393128
Overshine has freaked out our friends repeatedly and anything it can do we can do with about the same proficiency without going full murderhobo. Every time we let it take control it gets stronger. It will try to subdue us so it can get full control because it sees us as a weed and lesser than it is. We keep giving it power we will get bad ended. We really do not need to give it a bigger advantage.

>>37393206
>It will try to subdue us so it can get full control because it sees us as a weed and lesser than it is.
Weed and Vine are just terms it uses for natural and artificially gifted Branch users, which is appropriate considering that "gardener" is the official term for the power to grant branches. What's reality interesting is how Overshine happens to know the actual descriptor titles for the branches we meet.

>>37391964
/tg/ is too autistic and arch should have put the bumpers up after the 50th consecutive gutter ball.

>>37393319
Still it has made it apparent we are beneath it, we keep giving it power by letting it take control we will end up bad ended.

>>37393206
>We really do not need to give it a bigger advantage.
I agree but there's no accounting for circumstances. It might not be by her own volition or even her own actions at all but if overshine has any agency, it will presumably be actively seeking to isolate Cecile from those around her, making her more vulnerable and easier to take control of. If that is Overchan's aim, he's doing a pretty decent job.
We may be forced to choose between Charlotte and the Tree of Life and by extension, Irene, that's another ally down. Charlotte herself could be on borrowed time in the City and has responsibilities to protect Gabrielle as well as us. Allison is utterly defenceless in the face of any sort of attack. There are still plenty more opportunities for Cecile to lose more than she already has and in terms of straight-forward storytelling, I'd have to assume for the time being that that's the direction we're heading in.
Overshine is almost literally Cecile's inner-demon, she has to overcome him by herself, nobody else can really rid her of him. It's not a case of something she'd prefer not to do by herself, it's something she has to do by herself.
Now obviously, this is a quest and the direction can't be too hardwired but I'd caution against believing that Overshine's strength and influence over CC is removed simply because she recognizes it's a bad idea to give into him. There's still plenty of scope for things to get worse before they improve.

>>37393363
Telling Charlotte about the book BEFORE talking it over with Theresa shouldn't have even been an option and now the quest is suffering for it in more ways then one.

>>37393384
True enough i was just making a case to not hand him/her/it the keys to the cc mobile with every fight. Odds are he's going to be a bitch to deal with without giving him all the power, we give him the power we will get bad ended.

>>37393411
Honestly the whole giving the murderous imperious demon voice control over us at the onset of every fight is likely going to be a bigger issue with bigger repercussions.

>>37393411
Autistic fa/tg/uys thinking with their dicks are not to be trusted with interpersonal information.

>>37393444

*situations

>>37393460
Both really and with this 300th post we hit bump limit.

>>37393444
Are autistic weeaboo girls thinking with their vag to be trusted with important and potentially dangerous artifacts?

I still trust the books more in Gauthier's hands than I do in Theresa's.

>>37393438
That and we gave up, letting the serial killer go.

If we stayed on her the whole time we would at least have had an excuse for leaving Mina.

And yeah letting overshine take the wheel is probably a bad idea but it has yet to make me consider dropping the quest unlike this poster >>37393485

>>37393513
We were spent though because overshine has no real concept of tactics or power conservation. We couldn't have grabbed her if we wanted to, our batteries were dead.

So are you aware you are a cancer or does that fact evade you even after you have seen the repercussions of your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea?

>>37393553
I wasn't reading the quest when it happened and caught up after it but I still don't see what was wrong with it other than upsetting Theresa.
In the grand scheme of things, it was the correct thing to do, and I'm positive that anyone informed about this branch shit, like Charlotte, would agree.

>>37393513
>>37393553
Not that anon, the way it went down was terrible.
But I would rather the book be in Gauthier's hands than Theresa's.

Can we all agree to not hand the keys of the cc mobile to overchan then?

I think I'm going to hop in my time machine and make sure Cecile never get her Branch, never antagonize Luiza, stay in the closet and do not get on any route, and never make any decision. Then we can have a quest where we never upset anyone.

>>37393614
>I still don't see what was wrong with it
>In the grand scheme of things, it was the correct thing to do,

If people like you keep voting, I am just going to leave, this is too much bullshit to deal with.

>>37393650
Could you try and give some sort of reasoning to your argument or are you just going to keep threatening to take your toys home like a pouting child?

>>37393642
Agreed.
I wasn't paying enough attention to realize you let Overshine take over completely when we choose to [REMOVE],
I was under the impression that we would be channeling it instead.

>>37393642
I agree its a bad idea, which is why I will vote for it.

After the damage you chucklefucks have done to this quest and refuse to admit your mistakes, its the only thing worth reading this quest for.

And before you criticize me, you people have caused more suffering then I have, I just delight in it.

That link contains all the information anyone with a scrap of common sense would need. But most of those people already left.

>>37393650
I personally think that Theresa is too much of a loose cannon to own a Gardener Book.

I would rather burn bridges with her than risk having her lose it and get into the wrong hands or her doing something stupid with it.

>>37393650
Please anon, use your words. We can't change minds of others without them.

>>37393678
REMOVE always give full control to overshine, we want a light laser we say make light laser. it's fine just we really don't need it happening again.
