“No!” she says, hugging you tight, wrapping her wings around you “I’m not leaving you Shee, ever, you belong to me!”

Rainya has gone still again, as if watching for your reaction.

Your response?

This is not going to be pretty

Thank you for your keen insight Cptn. Obvious.

>>38172543
I am here to serve

“I’m not going to make a promise I can’t keep Lirael, you know me better than this” you say gently to the young girl in your arms.

As Lirael pulls a face at you, you add “Maybe we can convince your parents to stay here in my realm, whatever happens, I'm not going to let us be separated lightly Lirael, that much I promise you” Focusing your attention on her you can feel Lirael getting calmer.

“Hmm, ok” says Lirael, still clinging to you “You’re mine and I love you and I’m not letting go of you lightly either.”

You hug Lirael to you and stroke her hair, too full of happiness and pleasure to argue “Are we good?”

“Yeah” says Lirael, sighing “We’re good.”

You notice Rainya has left the room.

Go after her?

That sort of thing doesn't really work if the kid you're talking to has a perception mod of more than +20 and reads our mind on a regular basis.

Baalzamon would probably suggest addicting Rainya to our bite.

“I’m glad” you say “now I need to-”

“Chase after your girlfriend” says Lirael with a knowing look “I’ll go check on Kaelyn, make sure that you’re not interrupted.”

Before you can think of a response to that, Lirael skips out of the room, humming happily to herself.

You head out after Rainya, catching up with her some ways down the beach. She’s striding along, he back hunched and her arms hugging herself.

“Rainya-” you start

“Don’t talk to me!” she says “I am so mad at you right now!”

“Why?” you ask, walking alongside her

“You know why!” she snaps

“I don’t” you insists “I’m not going to lie to the kid, and who knows, maybe her parents are going to stick around for a bit and-”

Rainya stops in her tracks and stares at you disbelievingly “You think this is about her parents coming to stay?”

“Uh...no?” you say, you’re still not sure entirely what Rainya is mad about, there’s no way she could be jealous of a child like Li-

“It’s because you love her and not me!” screams Rainya “What you feel for her isn’t even real its just vampire bites or whatever but you treat her with more love and affection than anyone else!”

Uh...what?

“What?” you say

“As soon as Lirael gets upset you drop everything to help her!” continues Rainya “But the last time you and I had an argument your entire response was *I’m not going to change Rainya, deal with it*, well I guess I know who you care about now, and who you’re just fooling around with!” You can see tears in her eyes.

>>38172979
Um, what? Shee told her she loved her a few days ago. She said it was to soon then. What the hell is this girl's problem? It's not even the same kind of love.

>>38172979
I know you are not okay with, but I don't know what else to do, there are just no good options.
I really like her, I do, but its nothing like the way you make me feel and its not because of the addiction either. You have no idea how much I've struggled with coming to terms with the addiction, I just wish it wasn't there, but it is, and I wish you didn't have to see this side of me.
There's so many things happening that sucks right now, and this is a battle I'd rather not have to pick.
I hate this addiction, I hate this reunited game, I hate how Devs parents got killed, that Ash is depressed, that the safest place we had got taken from us. There's isn't a whole lot of light points in my life right now, but you and Lirael. I can't handle all this right now if you also hate me. Why is all this so hard, why can't I just help people.
*Sit in the and and cry*

>>38172979

Just like I promised her I would do what I can so we can stay together.

>Rainya, I told you I love you. And I meant it. If you are hurt or upset, I have and always will do everything to make it right for you. But don't, ever again, suggest my love for Lirael is because of the addiction or any less real. She is a child Rainya. Yes I give her as much affection as she wants, because she needs it. I want to give you the same, its a different kind of love, because Lirael is like a little sister, sometimes even my daughter to me. But I love you no less, BUT you are an adult Rainya. And I still didn't promise her any more or less than I did to you, that I can't promise to make everything happy forever but I will try my best.

>>38173046
You should have known that when she said "Oh wow, I thought you were just going to say that I was someone you wanted to have fun with. It's kinda too soon." what she really wanted was for us to tell her that that's wrong and we love her more than anything.

>>38173289
It's at least once for every Rainya, anon.

>>38173289
I honestly suspect no matter who we choose we'd be having 'some' stupid conversation over and over.

I think I'd have gone Mech-sexual by now if I was him.

>>38173262
Yeah, some crying might be in order.
The fuck is it always us we have to hold everyone and ourselves together? Nobody ever comes to comfort Shee...

>>38173262

Its also nice to not to do hack and slash or just resource management all the time

I keep trying to find a way to have this make sense as somehow Baalzamon having twisted our fixing Quinn wish into taking "something" from Rainya. But nope. Not even that excuse.

>>38173341
>I'm not seeing it as contradicting
It really sort of is. She is normally pretty rational about these things, I would have expected a lot harsher freakout on her part when she found out Lirael is a vampire.

I mean I can get she'd be feeling different if her aqccusation were actually the case. If we had promised Lirael, yes, we are going to stay together no matter what, then this would make sense. But the opposite happened.

>>38173314
I have the maddest respect for Dev.

If anything we should be asking her what the hell she feels about Shee. Shee's aalready told her she loves her and has proven on many occassions that she's even ready to die for her.

Honestly I was under the impression Rainya even cared about Lirael just as much as Shee. This level of jealousy seems like it's coming from nowhere.

>>38173423
That pretty much surprises me too, she clearly cared a lot about Lirael.
I could see that when you mad you say stupid shit you don't mean, but this is really unwarranted.
Especially since Shee has really gone out of her way to make sure Rainya has nothing to complain about in terms of handing ou affection.
I can't remember anytime Shee neglected her in favour of Lirael.
This feels like that time Lirael had been brainwashed.

“The two of you are completely different” you say “the way I feel about you is totally different, I love Lirael like a sister but you’re more to me than that Rainya, I love you and I want to be with you and-”

You reach for Rainyas arm she slaps your hand away “don’t touch me!” she hisses “I’m so, wait...what, you did what, you crazy bitch!”

Rainya stands still all of a sudden as if her attention is elsewhere and then she screams in rage and starts running down the beach, back towards the beach house, and where her doubles, and Kaelyn were playing, about half a kilometre away.

You feel Liraels thoughts touch yours –Shee there’s a problem, Rainya and Kaelyn are fighting, no wait, Kaelyn just knocked one of the Rainyas out, the other two are attacking her now-

Guys surrounded by grimdark, ancient god shit, duster life, a blood thirsty cop wiped out his family as collateral damage, was mind controlled once by the serec. He joined the rebels to want to improve things for dusters, however he now wonders how sane they are.

Smahed by the reapers despair, faced an army of raving beastman, had to watch hia friend bargin with ancient hods to save all their lives.

Now his rebel friends have relationship problems from a soap opera.

We need to do something good for Dev. He does not deserve this shit.

>>38173393
Think about how we handled Rainya's problem and then how we handled Lirael's problem.

With Lirael, we were more willing to promise to try and help her, I guess, while with Rainya we danced around it a lot more. I think that's what's upsetting her. Maybe. Like I said, really tired right now.

>>38173487
>Lirael, separate them
Sadly we are in no shape to do so.
>Grab the Rainya near you, get her to explain

Ok, I guess this makes more sense now. Fucking Kae did it.

Shoulda seen this shit coming when we didn't immediately devote time to fixing the bullshit between her and Rainya...

will be a slight delay before next update

>>38173559
Not really. We didn't dance around it at all. We straight up told her, no, we aren't going to let you die in our fights.
We want to fight together with you, but that isn't always possible.
We just needed to keep repeating it because she didn't want to hear it.

No, I don't think its really about Lirael at all.
Especially since Rainya seemed completly okay with the conversation, up until we came out and she was mad all of a sudden.

>>38173487
>Grab the Rainya near you, get her to explain
>Lirael, separate them and explain.

>>38173610
I don't recall us saying anything like *I'll help you get stronger* or *I'll do everything in my power to make you stronger so we can fight together* in that conversation with Rainya, which she probably wanted to hear, when with Lirael we just said "I can't promise that, but I'll do everything in my power to keep us from being separated".

Is it time for the lesbian bed death where Shee and Rainya both start refusing to sleep with eachother out of spite and then that turns into refusing to fuck because of the refusal to fuck which never ends?

>>38173645
Have they even had sex yet? I can't remember.

>>38173670
Nope, though they've slept in the same bed a few times.

>>38173670
Yeah, they have.

>>38173686
She tentacle fucked her several times. Once or twice without even realizing it was happening.

>>38173670
...No mutual sex yet, but we've let our tentacles go wild on her at least once or twice.

>>38173640
> “could you get stronger? Yes, of course. And I will help, so we *can* fight side by side, because I want that
We flat out told her at the beginning we would help her get stronger so she can fight by our side.
We didn't tell Lirael "everything in my power" either.
So no, we didn't treat them any different.

>>38173645
>implying Rainya could resist the T for long

>>38173701
I thought that bit where Lirael said, "that was fast. And quiet," implied they had.

>>38173640
>I don't recall us saying anything like *I'll help you get stronger*
We did though. And the very first thing we did next day was arranging to help her get stronger.

>>38173699
>>38173701
Uh, no? Rainya gets off on the tentacles because it's her fetish (like with the massage), but there hasn't been any sex as far as I can recall.

>>38173716
You thought wrong, that was just kissing and moderate groping.

>>38173772
I guess it depends on what you consider "sex", Shee hasn't put her tentacles into her yet.
But her tentacles did rub her special places until she orgasmed, which I'm fairly sure you could consider having sex.

>>38173772
Oh, yeah, it totally wasn't sex all the times the tentacles went into her pants and rubbed on her junk until she orgasmed. That was totally that other thing that isn't sex.

>>38173705
>>38173727
Rereading through the conversations, it still makes sense to me that Rainya would get upset, I don't know if that's just my brain being weird though and I can't really express it. We'll just have to wait and see what happens, I don't think Pally would make a character behave OOC.

>>38173850
I can't see how that makes sense. I can't wrap my head around that, we explicitly made the same amount of promise to Lirael we did to Rainya.
There is really no difference, except Lirael accepted we couldn't do everything we want but we are going to try our best, and Rainya didn't.
Or actually that isn't even true, because she HAD accepted it, and the main issue was that Rainya was upset because she had the feeling Shee didn't rely on her and tried to do everything by herself.
So this doesn't even relate to that.


I'm honestly not sure anymore if this is a mental influence thing or we somehow awakened the Yandere inside of Rainya.

>>38173552
>We need to do something good for Dev. He does not deserve this shit.

Can't really do too much for him, unless we perhaps start trying to do more for Dust town, somehow. That is what he wanted to do, help people.

As the only mundane, his power is limited.

When your friends can tell reality to shut up and sit down, being able to fix stuff and improve tech seems minor. And pilot a sweet mech.

>>38173850
I feel like its pretty natural too

>>38173801
>>38173796
You could read it like that, but I don't recall it ever being explicitly mentioned during the massage that the tentacles were rubbing against those places in particular, I think Rainya just really, really liked being massaged by tentacles.

I know they rubbed against places at times, but I don't recall them doing it to the point that I would consider it sex, just as a teasing thing or because they felt like being in that area for no reason in particular.

I guess it's down to how you interpret what's actually written and whether you count whatever-the-name-of-this-would-be as a sex act.

>>38173922
>unless we perhaps start trying to do more for Dust town
I think we should do that once we have our money.
And if he can work there, that would make him feel better, and give him a good excuse to vanish when the girls have their hissy fits for Shee to sort out.

>>38173954
When we lifted one of her during the spar the tentacles explicitly "went under her clothes" and "left no part unmolested".
There is really no way to read that different.

>>38173954
At the very least it's heavy petting which is definitely considered a sex act.

>>38173957
Charity is a good idea actually
It might even make the whole 'enslave and feed upon the duster' plan a lot harder if we could do it on a big enough scale

>>38173998
Not even "charity" as such.
To an extent yes, but more a "help them to help themselves".
So the Dusters can try making something better out of Dust Town.

Fecundity of the Ocean.

Plants from our realm are now real.

Grow some fruit-bearing things that can live in the dustlands. Put them everywhere out there. It'd probably help a lot with the dust problem to actually have some plant life out there.

>>38174050
Thats another thing, although we have to be careful with that.
Probably best we research for plants that can do that.

>>38174069
Or just make our own. Impossibility's a hell of a drug. Corruption could probably help here too. Magic plants that make the things around them not-shit would be pretty nice.

>>38173957

Start a charity and have Dev as one of the management there?

Emergency care and school type? He can also teach some?

>>38174086
>Or just make our own.
That was exactly my point, we shouldn't do that.
Because if people hear about it, some with more education than the average Duster will find out that plant doesn't exist, and then start wondering where it comes from.
Thats bad, there is enough weird plant life that there is definitly something actually existing we can grow.

>>38174100
He is the one with the second highest Int in the group, so why not.

I'm in

What now? You wonder. You race after Rainya and grab her even as you think to Lirael –separate them, I’m on my way-

-Alright- says Lirael

As you head down the beach, holding a spitting snarling Rainya by her arm you say “What’s wrong, what happened?”

“That fae bitch!” rages Rainya “she messed with my head, try to get me to break up with you!”

Why is your love life so complicated? You contemplate offering a prayer for help, then you imagine what each of the Four would advise. You head back to the beach house as fast as you can, Rainya almost dragging you behind her.
---
When you get there you see Lirael flying, holding a couple of Rainyas – one under each arm. There’s a Rainya laying on the sand, unconscious, but still breathing.

A little ways away Kaelyn is sat down on a towel, her heard in her hands

“What happened here?” you asl Lirael as she holds the two furious Rainyas

“I dunno” says Lirael “I just, I noticed Rainyas emotions where all over the place and when I asked about it, everything got weird. Rainya got mad and Kae got upset and then Rainya attacked Kae.”

Ok...

“Rainya” you say “one body please.”

“I’m going to strangle that fae bitch!” yells Rainya

“Rainya, please” you say “just, please, do this for me?”

You and Lirael hold the four Rainyas together, and suddenly there’s only 1 Rainya, though she’s still pretty mad.

“Lirael would you mind taking Rainya back to the beach house for a bit, Rainya, please go with Lirael.” Rainya glares at you, and at Kaelyn but nods and follows Lirael.

You sit down next to Kaelyn “So Kae, what happened?”

“It’s my fault” she says, her head still in her hands “I shouldn’t have let it get this bad, I just couldn’t control it, I’m sorry.”

“Control what?” you ask.

Kaelyn looks up, her face stained with tears “Shee, I-” she gulps “Shee as a fae I feed of emotion, in dreams its easier.”

“Ok” you say, waiting for her to explain.

“If I don’t feed often enough” she says “I...amplify the emotions of those around me, as well as making them feel what I feel.”

“Go on...” you say, this is making sense, a little.

“I haven’t fed off anyone’s dreams for days” says Kaelyn “I thought I could control it but...”

“But it started leaking?” you ask

“Yes” admits Kaelyn “I guess it just got really bad today, sorry.”

“And so Rainya...?” you ask

“Is feeling whatever she’s feeling multiplied in strength a few times” says Kaelyn sadly “plus maybe a bit of jealousy from me. I told her what was happening and she got angry.”

Or maybe Rainyas own jealousy has just been amplified you think, and who wouldn’t get angry when their emotions are being messed with.

“I feel fine” you say “Lirael doesn’t seem affected, or Dev.”

“You are Lirael are pretty strong-willed” says Kaelyn “Dev...I don’t know why Dev wasn’t affected, maybe he’s just a calm person.”

Well that explains things a little but-

“So where do we go from here?” you ask “I’m not sure I want to have everyone arguing all the time.”

“I’ll go” says Kaelyn sadly “I’ll just, I’ll go and live somewhere far away.” Geez, martyr much Princess?

“So if you can’t feed often” you say “does this affect your powers?”

Kaelyn shrugs “I believe that...part-fae aren’t at risk of dying from not feeding” she says “But yes, my energies will return more slowly if I don’t feed on emotions regularly, and also stuff like this will happen.”

>>38174235
>You should have warned us

Maybe it was amplifying Dev's "I'll just stay the fuck out of that" feelings.

>>38174235

>You should have warned us
Get a little mad
>We need to find you someone to feed on
>You’re staying with us, we’ll figure this out
But you're not going to be around or mess with my girlfriend again!

Why can't you feed on those you used too?

>>38174235
>You should have warned us
>We need to find you someone to feed on
>You’re staying with us, we’ll figure this out

Thank the Five we let Dev have his own job.

>>38174235
>You should have warned us
>We need to find you someone to feed on
>How did you used to deal with this? Don't you have some feeders or, something?

>>38174235
>We need to find you someone to feed on
>You’re staying with us, we’ll figure this out
>You should have warned us
I'm not sure I believe her this was completly uninentional though.

>>38174235
>You’re staying with us, we’ll figure this out
Lirael or Yonsul?

>>38174364
Yeah. Me either. It'd be nice to get Rainya some kind of defense against this sort of thing. Not sure if that's possible though.

>>38174235
>>We need to find you someone to feed on
>>Your staying with us.

Dev's about rhe most normal out of anyone I know, maybe he just has a weirdness filter?

>>38174398
Apparently maxing out her willpower like with Lirael helped.

>>38174392
I wonder if Yonsul would be down with letting her feed on random scumbags who get arrested every few days.

>>38174364
Yeah, I really doubt it was 100% unintentional as well. Probably not 100% malicious either. Still scummy tho.

>>38174392
Definitly not Lirael. Not sure how Yonsul would feel about anything involving feeding, but I guess we could mention it.

>>38174431
What about Ash? They kind of get along.

I can't remember if dream-feeding is addictive or whether it has negative effects as a necessary part of it or that was the result of being uncaring and stupid on the Fae's part.

>>38174481
iirc, it's somewhat pleasurable and it's impossible to kill someone with it, but reckless overfeeding causes the victim to go crazy.

>>38174481

Repeated feeding over a vedry long period does, short term should not as stated by Kae in the first dream talk info dump.

>>38174463
Not really? She pretty much forgot about him the next day.
She didn't dislike him or anything, but after he didn't seem to hang around with Shee anymore from Kaes perspective, she pretty much just considered him "one of Quinns guys".

We don't really know what it all entails, so who knows?
Its at least nominally dangerous though and you'd need to trust the fae to restrain themselves, I don't think I would like asking that of him.

>>38174514
I thought that was excessively frequent long-term feeding that caused insanity?

We should probably tell her in no uncertain terms to stay out of Rainya's head though.

>>38174364
No, I think she knew what was happening.
And we should sternly tell her that this is not going to happen again

>>38174538
Kae said "as far she's been told" if you restrict it to every few days per person it isn't harmful.
But the whole line pretty strongly implied thats rpobably untrue.
So we should assume longterm dream feeding does cause damage.

>>38174514
She actually said "it takes years before it gets that bad", so short term does cause some damage, we just don't know how fast and how much, it just takes years to go completly crazy.

>>38174580
Dream-feeding just makes it easier, maybe we could get Empathic Projection and use it on a lot of people in a club and let her feed off those emotions without it causing harm?

>>38174632
I think regular clubbing might work?
We'd need to find out how much she actually needs.

Why don't we just have her feed on the shadow vampire we're about to kidnap?

>>38174666
Because we haven't kidnapped him yet? And because those seem to be able to fight back in their dreams.
And thats a short term solution, since we aren't going to be keeping him around.

>>38174666
Then we'd have to find someone to feed the shadow vampire with.

“You should have warned us” you say “we could have been prepared, we could have found some way for you to feed, we could have helped.”

Kaelyns head comes up and she gives you a look filled with a lifetime of self-assured pride “I wasn’t going to ask you to provide me with everything” she says in a cool tone “I was ready to pull my own weight.” You angrily bite back a reply about her making things worse instead.

“And yet” you say, picking your words with care, and trying to keep an even tone “it seems you still need to find some way to feed, it would seem.”

“It won’t be a problem” Kaelyn assures you, her expression still cold “As I said, I will be moving out soon.”

“You’re staying with us” you say “first of all, you’re a friend” and part of you whispers *and family* “and if you go elsewhere, don’t you think your father will take it as an excuse to capture you by claiming you and I have nothing to do with one another?”

Kaelyn opens her mouth to reply, and then pauses. In the silence that follows you say “so how did you used to feed anyway?”

“Oh my father paid professionals” says Kaelyn “only the best of course.”

“There are people who act as dream feeders for a living?” you ask

“Indeed” says Kaelyn, nodding her head “they practise controlling their emotional, inciting them or calming them as required.”

“And how does feeding of emotions work?” you ask “I mean, does it, I dunno, drain them or something?”

>>38174702
Blood bags.

>>38174702
Blood trees.

Kaelyn quirks an eyebrow at you “It can” she says “You’ve seen the dream eaten?” you nod as she continues “Pathetic almost mindless wretches with no emotions, none to speak of anyway. Yes, feeding of another’s emotions does drain them a little, it’s not a permanent harm, their minds recover, the dream eaten are the product of years of draining, typically done recklessly, or my groups of fae feeding from the same person. A feeding once a week or so is harmless, though I need to feed every day, or at least every other day.” So 3 or 4 dream feeders then...

“Is there no other way?” you ask. Kaelyn considers this

“It’s not a skill I ever thought to learn” she says “but some fae can feed off groups, there the drain is spread amongst a crowd so its far less harmful, though the crowd usually need to be feeling the same type of emotion.” Ok, so maybe a lot of clubbing could help. “It might take me weeks to learn though” adds Kaelyn.

“And, I’m told” says Kae “That if a persons normal emotions are heightened, amplified, they’re easier to feed on, and drained less. It’s what I’ve been told, I’m not sure if it’s true.” Ok, so maybe by messing with someone’s emotions you can make them less drained.

“I thought you could only feed in dreams” you say “so either way, we need to find you someone willing to dream, right?”

“If I developed the skill of feeding from crowds” says Kaelyn, “that is always done awake, not sleeping, and if I fed off...someone I felt close to then I could do it awake.”

If you ever mess with Rainya again, then I'm not sure I can keep my emotions in check...

>>38174749
>You need to learn crowd-feeding
>How expensive are those dream feeders?

>>38174749
>You need to learn crowd-feeding
>I guess we can hire dream feeders for you

>>38174749
>You need to learn crowd-feeding
But in the meantime,
>I guess we can hire dream feeders for you
We have loads of money and not much to spend it on. What with having a steady income and our own realm where we can make anything we want.

>>38174749
>>I guess we can hire dream feeders for you
>>You need to learn crowd-feeding
>>We will feed you (who?) – assuming the person is ok with it

I would ask dev maybe, or maybe lirael, and yonsul once in a while.

Pay for pro's too, need to to learn mass feeding however.

>>38174749
>Other (what?)
What about feeding on people Yonsul arrests? I imagine that angry people get angrier when they get arrested.

>>38174749
>You need to learn crowd-feeding
>I guess we can hire dream feeders for you
Maybe we can mention the issue to Yonsul, see how she reacts.
She might like it.

>>38174749
>I guess I could ask Baalzamon for help...

>>38174749
While we are at the topic of money, did we already get that? Since it isn't updatet on the charsheet.
Its something we probably need to track for larger expenses.
Like this will most likely be, because I imagine 3-4 professional dream feeders aren't cheap.

>>38174749
>Other (what?)
>Just tell me if it doesn't work like that at all, but what if I made some kind of giant "emotionwell" thing, kinda like a chaoswell but not, in my Realm? Could that work?

I wonder how much cash we could make by growing exotic fruits and other plants in our realm and selling them. There's probably some fancyass spices that would go for tons.

>>38174961
Thats a thing we could consider once we have Physics be Damned.

>>38174996
How much does PBD cost? Because if that's all we need to make a giant fae-feeder, then I'm all for it.

>>38174996
Maybe she can feed on our realms population, that is once we make them

>>38174749
>Other (what?)
What if I make people in my realm? Think you could feed on those?

>>38174985
We could at least improve the restaurant's quality with it. We can make food you really can't get anywhere else.

>>38175003
I actually think it doesn't cost anything.
It didn't have the "Costs XP" like some of the others.
But I also don't think it can do that.
I'm fairly sure however a good dosis of Imposibility might allow for making something like that, maybe make our outflowing emotions liquid or something.

>>38175042
It would definitly safe costs and time on that "exotic meals" service we have.

>>38174996
I'm worried that doing so could cause some weird shit to happen in meatspace, if we can even do it.

“Well you definitely need to learn crowd-feeding” you say “in the mean time we’ll hire you some dream feeders.”

“That is acceptable” says Kaelyn “Do you think I should apologise to Rainya, I treated her rather badly after all...”

“Maybe after she’s calmed down” you say

“And for crowd-feeding” says Kaelyn “I can go out clubbing.”

“Not alone though” you say “just in case something happens, you should have someone with you.”

Kaelyn nods “That makes sense” she says, smiling at you, seeming happier “Thank you Shee, I don’t know what I would do without you, I’m so grateful that you’ve been so kind to me, I wonder how I can ever repay you...” she says, looking at you from heavy-lidded eyes. Ah yes, that reminds you, maybe Rainya had cause to feel a little jealous, you wonder if Kaelyns flirting so far has been harmless, or manipulation, or something more.

“Well now that’s decided” you say, looking at the beach house “Maybe I should....”

What?

>Talk to Rainya now
>Let Rainya calm down first, then talk
>Ask Kaelyn about the flirting
>Don’t ask right now
>Other (what?)

>>38174959
Its in the business paste, I could move it to the character sheet if people would prefer

>>38175064
Fuck the rules; emotionwell now

>>38175017
>>38175035
I'm still against making a population.

>>38175042
I was think that too.
Ms Carter did say they catered to special tastes, even offworld ones. We can now make truely unique and tailored foods

>>38175076
>Let Rainya calm down first, then talk

>>38174749
Should we just get population in our realm?

>>38175076
>Let Rainya calm down first, then talk
>Ask Kaelyn about the flirting

>>38175076
>Let Rainya calm down first, then talk
>Tell Kaelyn to tone down the suggestivness until Rainya has calmed down, that would be helpful

>>38175084
Why?

>>38175098
Didn't that cost XP? We have more important things to spend XP on than something we can solve with money.

>>38175076
>Let Rainya calm down first, then talk
>Ask Kaelyn about the flirting
Ask her to back off a little. Shee's with Rainya and she needs to respect that.

>>38175076
>Let Rainya calm down first, then talk
>Ask Kaelyn about the flirting

>>38175076
>Maybe after she calmed down?!!
You damn better apologise! And it better be sincere

Also you're not gonna be around Rainya until this is sorted out

>Ask Kaelyn about the flirting
>Talk to Rainya now

>>38175122
Making them real so they could have emotions and dreams does cost XP.

>>38175116
Because I'm opposed to making people just to serve Shee.
And our world isn't really aplace where a larger number of people could have a fulfilling life.

>>38175126
I second telling her to back off a little, because we don't want Rainya to be jelly

>>38175158
Its not really a place where any number of people could have a fulfilling life.
I prefer making smarter sea-monster to serve as our help once we are expanding.

>>38175247
Sea-people you say?
I have just the inspiration;

Thanks, hadn't seen it.

“Yes about that” you say “the flirting, why I mean, you’re cute and I’m a little flattered, but why?”

Kaelyn lays a hand softly on you cheek “Am I so ugly that you’d turn me away?” she says, biting her bottom lip, her eyes wide.

“That’s what I’m talking about, that” you say “why?”

Kaelyn gives you a considering look “because you’re interesting” she says “All this stuff happening around you, the Reunited, your involvement with everything recently, I think being near you would put me right in the heart of some really exciting moments.”

“You’re my friend” you point out “I think you’ll be involved in some fairly weird stuff anyway.”

“Also your emotions are...muted” says Kaelyn “I wonder if in the heat of the moment you’ll flare up like a smouldering bonfire, or if you’re just a calm person normally, like I said, interesting, and something of a puzzle to me.”

“In case you hadn’t noticed” you say, removing her hand from your cheek “Rainya and I are...”

“On the outs?” says Kaelyn, grinning.

“Together” you say pointedly

“For now yes” says Kaelyn “besides, who says you have to buy, you can always try me before we make a long-term commitment after all.”

Aaaargh!

You get up and walk away “Well as long as you’ve cheered up” you say stiffly, walking away.

“Where are you going?” asks Kaelyn “Not going for a round of *make-up* with Rainya”

“Not yet” you fire back over your shoulder.

Where are you going? It’s currently early evening

>Evening in with family
>I have shadow-vampires to hunt

We are one stiff breeze away from death. We can't hunt any shadow vamps in our current shape.

>>38175422

This.

>>38175422
>Evening in with family
followed by
>round of *make-up*

>>38175519
Haha, I like this idea.

>>38175422
>>Evening in with family
>>38175519
and this.
Any Pe we still have should go to healing before we sleep. Also try and use our impossibility to break the seals on our teleport powers.

>>38175611
>Any Pe we still have should go to healing before we sleep.
We can't heal with PE. How often does that need to be said?
Psychic healing doesn't even cost PE anyway.

Evening in with family just beats out the boys club treehouse, sorry everyone, more emotional stuff ahead

Poor Dev. House full of pretty girls and they're all either too young or they want Shee.

>>38175422
>>38175455
>>38175648
I even change my vote for it!
Surely we have time for the tree hosue before evening with family?

Unless you meant to say Lirael doesn't want Shee because she already got her.

>>38175648
Why are you sorry?
Emotional stuff is best stuff

>>38175731
I like emotional stuff, but building a a fighting simulator base on a giant tree beats out emotional stuff by a wide margin.

>>38175648
Can you at least make Shee show some emotion this time?
Either a bit crying or throwing things in rage
I voted for crying earlier

>>38175673
I guess it a good thing he has good emotional control then. Guy could get frustrated otherwise.

>>38175686
sorry, maybe tomorrow, I'll add it to the to-do list

>>38175782
Thank you.

>>38175782
>Rhydian will never join us in our giant tree house

>>38175766
Uh What are you talking about, Shee's been fine.

>>38175122
We have 2 vampires (not that I think we Need to move Ash in but the posabilety is there) and a fae, on top of that Dev could use them to make stuff.

>>38175851
I fail to see how that relates to the population question?
Are you suggesting we make a slave race to only exist to feed our fae/vampires?

>>38175766
I didn't because I thought he'd put it in anyway and I didn't have to state support.

>>38175777
That actually makes me wonder if he has a gimmick. Maybe he's some kind of born druid, but he hasn't awoken to it yet because Apollyon is practically a dead world?

>>38175851
All of those can be solved with the real superpower of money and are still way less important than other XP things as they have alternate solutions.

We are not using our population as spare parts for Dev's machinations, he is not a mad scientist.

>>38175851
I'm sure Dev will enjoy greatly being helped by a bunch of sentient constructs without free will. Sounds like the kind of thing he'd be totally for.

You’ve had enough of rampant emotions and relationships for one night. You and your friends eat a quiet meal together and watch some holos to unwind.

Throughout it all Rainya speaks only sparingly, and to you, not at all. When you all sit down to watch some holos Rainya takes a chair far away from you, and concentrates on the holo. You’re a little hurt, after all whether Rainya is angry or embarrassed or whatever she is feeling it wasn’t your fault, or even hers really.

Kaelyn seems reserved, perhaps embarrassed by her actions today, or possibly just trying to hold her emotional influence or whatever in.

Lirael seems happy and joins you on the sofa, cuddling up to you.

Dev seems utterly unaffected by everyone’s mood, or possibly he just doesn’t notice, being his usual genial self.

You try and concentrate on the holo, other things can wait, for now. You don’t know what to feel, you’re so used to just holding it together and dealing with problems that you rarely let your emotions go, are you angry with Kaelyn, yeah a little, frustrated with Rainya, probably. Maybe spending an evening fixing stuff with Dev would have been simpler.

In your mind you can hear Liraels voice –I can help you- she says

-With what?- you think back

-With Rainya- Lirael responds

-I asked you not to do that- you point out, irritation colouring your response

-Please, she’s broadcasting her emotions- says Lirael –It’s hard *not* to pick up on what she’s feeling right now, I could give you just a little peek-

Your response

With all the crap that has been happening, the duster friends dying, loosing the facility, almost losing all our friends to the reaper, living in constant war with wanna-be gods and pretty much everyone else, killing Charon, every thing else I forgot and now girlfriend drama?
How could you not get sad or angry or emotional

>>38175915
>>No peeking Lirael, just watch the holo

Hopefully next time.

>>38175915

>>38175916
I'm trying, maybe we get to build something with him tomorrow. And can talk while doing that. I'd like to know what he thinks fo all the stuff currently going on. He used to be the one most ready to critisize us.

>>38175941
Uncaring is the way to go.
There was an option to feel more after charon's death, but no one liked him to pick the more emotive one, IIRC.

>>38175915
I, no...
...
Is she really mad at me Lirael?

>>38175915
>What are Rainyas emotions?

>>38175915
>No peeking Lirael, If you have advice for Rainya you can talk to her about it. If she wants you to tranclate you may but let her have a say.

>>38175915
>No peeking Lirael, just watch the holo
>Invite Rainya over to your sofa
No cheating, Lirael.

>>38175963
>Uncaring is the way to go.
I beg to differ, caring is what we do, and I think it would be fun to see how people would react with Shee breaking down

>>38175915
>What are Rainyas emotions?
>Invite Rainya over to your sofa

Hopefully Kae will take some iniative and apologize soon too.

>>38175915
>No peeking Lirael, just watch the holo
>Sit down next to Rainya

>>38175915
>No peeking Lirael, just watch the holo

That sure would be nice

>>38175915
>What are Rainyas emotions?

-No peeking- you think to Lirael –Just watch the holo-

-You’re being silly- responds Lirael, in amusement.

To Rainya you say “There’s plenty of room here” and you pat the seat beside you invitingly. Dev doesn’t react but you hear Kaelyn shift a little as Rainya comes to sit beside you. Over the course of the last holo she inches closer to you, until eventually you’re lying on the sofa with both Lirael and Rainya cuddled up to you, none of you are talking, but you feel...content at least.

That night Lirael sneaks into your bed, otherwise you would have been alone. You wonder what’s going on in Rainyas head.

You wake up next morning with a winged vampire girl snuggled up in bed with you, what’s today’s plan?

You’re feeling healthier [HP 21/130]

Shee's To Do List

1. Go hunting shadow vampires
2. Arrange a meeting with Breaker
3. Talk to Garrax (reunited)
4. Talk to Yonsul
5. Seek the favour of one of the Five (which?)
6. Contact the Rebellion about a mission (or to cut ties officially?)
7. Research the Fae Court/Palace, is there a way in?
8. Rainya and Shee time (location? Go on a date? Other?)
9. Make some more stuff for your Realm
10. Go after Kulrathe and/or his officers (plan?)
11. Build treehouse with Dev

>>38176234

We are on a time limit.

>>38176234
How many days are left for the shadow vamp thing? 6?

>>38176234
>11. Build treehouse with Dev
>>38176282
Which won't be helped by us being murdered on the spot.
>>38176287
Assuming including the day we made the deal, we have 5 days left.

>>38176234
>8. Rainya and Shee time: Wonder around the realm with her, try to get her to open up about ow she's feeling, maybe make some stuff.
We should probably try to sort this out better sooner rather than later.

>>38176277
ohh, problem solved then

>>38176234
>Talk to Rainya about Lirael offering us the cheet sheet.
>use heal on self

>>38176234
I'd like to try making a psychic activation chamber if it's possible. We should be able to touch it and tell if it 'feels' the same as the ones from the facility because Artifice.

>>38176287
5 days until Baalzamons time limit expires

? days until shadow vampires leave the planet

Hm? By what/who/when?

>>38176353
The shadow vamp we are hunting. And whatever amount of vamps we meet on the way.
He's not going to come with us quietly.

>>38176353
we have 21 hp any one of them could one shot us with shadow powers right now. Or with a suitably large gun.

>>38176362
>He's not going to come with us quietly.
Now, see, this si true. It also won't change regardless of doing it now or later.

>>38176381
Nevermind, I forgot.

>>38176381
RoS is pretty much godmode against shadow vamps. If we can catch one somewhere by himself, we just have to activate RoS and slam the dude around with shadow tentacles for a few minutes.

>>38176318
Sorry, Forgot the agro thing.

>>38176392
>It also won't change regardless of doing it now or later.
No, but later we have more HP, and we should just delegate this to people with more HP so we don't have to wait out.
Hunting by ourselves, is stupid.

>>38176395
>RoS is pretty much godmode against shadow vamps.
Its a fuckhuge blob of darkness. We are not going to have the luxury of turning RoS when trying to kindap that dude.

>>38176381
We could try to research the shadow vampire without trying to get to much involved.
Maybe grab a black suit and a telescope and lurk

>>38176395
While true, we'd be very noticeable and they could easily perforate us with lasers or plasma. Or use other powers besides shadow to fuck with us. Or call in fae to help, which would bring Kae's dad running, he's waiting for us to fuck up.

>>38176234
>8. Rainya and Shee time
Try to smooth things over with her. Maybe try to convince Kae that now would be a good time to apologize and explain.

Man-time in the treehouse it is, writing.

Go after shadow vampires now, nothing can go wrong

>>38176425
If only we had people helping us we could send out to do that sort of thing without endangering our wounded self.
Wouldn't that be great?

>>38176458
Just had an idea, Dev with a silenced sniper rifle loaded with tranq rounds designed for vampires. Zit, sleeping vamp we can run off with.

>>38176458
I don't think going after them with <50hp is advisable, but at the same time I have a feeling we're going to end up waiting until the last second before they leave and it'll fuck us up so hard.

>>38176458
we trust you[/spoier]

When was last time we contacted rebellion anyway? Didn't they already write us off already?

>>38176511
>loaded with tranq rounds designed for vampires
Pretty sure the shadow vamps aren't living vampires.

>>38176531
In this thread.

>>38176531
>When was last time we contacted rebellion anyway?
Today.

>Didn't they already write us off already?
They tried to guilt trip us into draining more chaos wells.

>>38176531
Day ago.

>>38176517
Like we postponed with the chaoswell, and went ahead without a plan? Don't you think we learn from our mistakes?

>>38176511
>we can run off with
How do you get to the vamp so you can grab him? Because I doubt they will be conveniently walking around, especially considering they aren't good with daylight.

>>38176546
Bloodline has nothing to do with whether or not they're a living vampire.

These specific shadow vampires probably aren't living, but shadow vampires in general can be either.

>>38176490
The two most suited to it are unlikely to work well together and I don't want to send anyone alone.

>>38176531
At least pretend to read the thread.

>>38176550
That would be a better argument if the chaoswell mission wouldn't have gone smooth as fuck.

>>38176573
And what makes you think I wasn't talking about these specific vamps that actually matter to us?

>>38176584
Using "the" instead of "these" or "this" or "the ones we're going after".

>>38176546
>Pretty sure the shadow vamps aren't living vampires.
Pretty sure if they are an entire clan, some of them are. beside if Lirael can learn it while living so can they.

>>38176566
>How do you get to the vamp so you can grab him? Because I doubt they will be conveniently walking around, especially considering they aren't good with daylight.

They might walk around at night (dev would need a good scope) But like I said just an idea.

>>38176546
>>38176547
>>38176549
oh cool, thanks

>>38176575
joke's on you, it was actually previous thread.

>>38176584
>That would be a better argument if the chaoswell mission wouldn't have gone smooth as fuck.
It really didn't, it got Kae's dad after us with the whole loving her thing. Which is still biting us in the ass. This time we need as clean an exit as possible.

>>38176605
>Pretty sure if they are an entire clan, some of them are.
Yeah, but the entire Clan isn't here.

>>38176637
>Yeah, but the entire Clan isn't here.
True but I doubt they'd take only undead members. Mostly? Sure. All? Unlikely. But hey it was just an idea. More we think on it now the better.

>>38176634
>It really didn't, it got Kae's dad after us with the whole loving her thing.
How owuld have doing the mission earlier have made that any better?
It wouldn't have, seriously anon don't ridiculous. The chaoswell mission went amazingly well.
Even the end with Reaper was good for us, it got Kae on board with us.
Would you have prefered not finding out about the Segmented Soul thing?

>>38176634
>This time we need as clean an exit as possible.
Our exit was pretty clean. The only part that got fucked was something we had no way of preventing or anticipating.
And we dealt with it pretty good too.
And the mission itself did go great. There is simply no reasonable argument to be made it didn't.
Greater preperation wouldn't have prevented the issue at the chaoswell, and thats assuming you consider it a bad thing, which I don't.

>>38176661
I would have preferred learning about it without having him watching the city waiting for a pretext to attack us. As soon as we step too far out of line(like with this abduction if things go bad) He's going to be on us like ugly on Beastman.

>>38176656
Yeah sure somewhere there are aliving members. But its highly unlikely those are the ones they send here for this meeting, because non-living vampires have higher status.

>>38176708
And how would we have done that? And when?
There was basically no way for us to find out except by seeing it.

>>38176752
well maybe the love/like thing would have helped. Pally did say what we said to her got him into a frothing rage.

What exactly is it we have to do with the shadow vamps and Lirael for Baalz again?

>>38176731
Still wouldn't they need support staff and people for clerical things?

>>38176793
She needs to take the first steps to learning shadow vamp by week's end. We gotta kidnap and brainwash one to train her.

>>38176793
capture the vampire and make it teach Lirael its vampire voodoo.

>>38176772
Not really something we could have known beforehand either.
Telling her about the Segmented Soul thing and having her subsequently leave him would have meant the same result in the end.

>>38176793
Teach her Shadows 1.

And then immediately make it into Void 1 as a loophole.

>>38176793
Torture/bribe/mindfuck/convince/whatever it until it teaches Lirael the very basics of shadow magic and maybe a little bit more.

Then we can either choose to go Primacy of Blood route and rewrite the shadow magic with Shee's own bloodline or we can choose to let Lirael become Baalzamon's new best friend and start a new clan of shadow vamps.

>>38176811
>Still wouldn't they need support staff
Their human feeders. Yonsul already told us they organise the departure.

>>38176828
>Lirael become Baalzamon's new best friend and start a new clan of shadow vamps.
I still think this idea is not that bad.

>>38176869
You've failed to present any reason why that idea isn't the worst fucking thing and we aren't starting this shit again. Baalzabitch go home.

How stupid would it be to try and use Assumption of Authority in our quest for a shadow vamp?

>>38176827
Do it too soon and you fuck everything up for everyone.

>>38176869
I suppose it depends on what you compare it with.
Surely there are worse ideas, but that doesn't mean its not a bad idea.

>>38176869
I don't either, but people are insanely suspicious of a god who Shee worships (even if he is a scumbag) and I like Void more anyway.

>>38176882
Depends against who?
We can't really pretend to be a member of their Clan.

>>38176827
Need to wait on that till Kae is of age so we don't have her dad fuck us up.

>>38176911
Why not?
We have fangs and shadow powers

>>38176923
This has nothing to do with Kae.

>>38176923
No we don't?

>>38176892
To be fair, we should be suspicious of Baalzamon. It'd be stupid not to, and I'm fairly sure he'd be insulted.

>>38176931
We don't actually have any Shadow Powers, and then there is the problem we know absolutely nothing about them.

>>38176932
The favor still does kind of, and if we renege he could use it to attack us again.

>>38176931
We don't actually have any visible shadow powers that aren't RoS and I don't wanna burn that much PE just to show them that we can shadows too. We'd be able to make some darkness if we had another rank or two in Darkness, but that's it. Right now we just see good in the dark and magical darkness ain't no problem.

>>38176956
But we don't renege, thats the point of the whole "capture the vampire" thing.

>>38176869
Eh, people overreacted too hard to continue. See >>38176881

>>38176892
What does Void do again? Besides screw baal over?

>>38176992
>What does Void do again? Besides screw baal over?
Probably a slightly more reality-fuckery version of shadow control. We won't know until we got it.

>>38176887
We just need to get him to confirm that the deal is complete and then we can do it.

>>38176892
It's not an unjustified level of suspicion.

>>38176956
It wouldn't be reneging. That's the best part. All we are obligated to do is get her started on the path. The deal stated nothing about what comes after. If our bloodline erases her shadow powers and replaces them with void, he can't say we reneged.

>>38176955
>To be fair, we should be suspicious of Baalzamon. It'd be stupid not to, and I'm fairly sure he'd be insulted.
Don't get me wrong, I am suspicious of him, I just don't think he wants to fuck us on every single little thing. Shee is far more valuable to him than pretty much every other person around. His avatar is the only other known character who is 100% for sure someone he'd fuck us over for. He wants us to succeed and he wants us to support him when we do it, the main problem is that he might fuck over those around us to drag us to the top and that's what I worry about most.

>>38176956
We aren't reneging. Going void technically fulfills the deal.

>>38176992
More reality warping instead of DARK DARKNESS THE DARKENING: DARKNESS RISES and probably a weakness to antimagic instead of a weakness to light.

>>38176980
>>38177022
>>38177034
I'd still wait until Kae is of age so if he does flip his shit we're covered. After all he's is the most lawyery of the five and vindictive as hell when he wants to be.

Still if it comes to Lirael taking the final step before then, Well we gotta do what we gotta do.

>>38176992
>>38177059
Oh, and shadow stuff has its own branch of teleportation.

I'd be surprised if Void didn't have its own branch of teleportation stuff since Shee started with psychoportation.

>>38177034
>His avatar is the only other known character who is 100% for sure someone he'd fuck us over for.
Wouldn't be so sure aboutt hat actually. I'm starting to think Baalzi is grooming Shee as his Avatar.
He keeps helping her out all the time, and this entire deal, I don't believe for a second we're actually screwing him over there.
He says he wants a new Clan. I bet he'd be okay with Shee being its leader too.

>>38177110
How does voidportation work?

>>38177087
That's more than 2 years away. Waiting on that is completely unfeasible.

>>38177114
I admit, I'd totally avatar for Baalzamon. He's been pretty cool without spoiling Shee like the King and ichor would do.

>>38177114
Being the Avatar of Baalzamon wouldn't be so bad if only because that means there isn't someone else running around as his avatar to fuck us over eventually.

Not sure the other players would go for it, though.
