I scream in anger, at myself for being so careless and breaking a cup because I couldn't control myself, slamming my hand into the ground as I stand up, breathing heavily as I try to calm down, I need to do something to calm down, but what can I do.

I stare at the sky, something inside me calling me to tear something apart and. I shake my head, no no no, I need to..I need to let out my aggression with training, yes that's what I"m going to do, I just need to find some one willing to teach me something to calm me down.

"Hey lil blue" I hear a voice purr from behind me

I turn and see Kiki, who giggles as she sees the broken tea cup

"Oh, now who did this I wonder?" She says with a smirk

"Please don't tell anyone" I say grabbing her arm

"oh why would I do that?" She asks teasingly "so what are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I ask

"Maybe" She says with a shrug "but I was looking for you if you were wondering"

"Oh and why are you doing that exactly?" I ask

"to train you" She says smiling

"Small world" I say, feeling a bit creeped out at this coincidence "I was just wanting to train"

"Good, now dodge" She says laughing as she raises her hand

I raise my hands to try and stop her from hitting me and shout in surprise as a ball of blue fire engulfs me, I try and wipe it off quickly screaming and hollering in fear as I begin to feel it's very real heat and burn of the flames

I manage to brush them off and turn to see the little secluded grove of bamboo, which I learned the tall green trees were called is now a blaze.

I try to shout at Kiki but nothing comes out as she cackles happily, and raises her hands once again.

For a moment I smell something almost sickeningly sweet as blue flames wrap around her hands before spiraling to her palms, before they swirl together and form a ball that swirls around, going so fast as to become a blur as Kiki takes a step back and tosses the ball at me.

I raise my hand up, and try to catch it, I wince and then open my eyes when I don't feel any pain or burning. I look down and see the ball of flames resting an inch above my sweating blue palm.

I blink, trying to see if it's real or not

"Good, first part of your training in actually being able to use your magic is done" Kiki says happily "didn't think you'd catch it, but I guess you're just full of surprises, now for lesson two, to use it yourself"

And then, she runs at me, drawing her blade as she leaps into the air.

I close my fist around the ball of fire, squishing it into nothing as the flames die out, I feel a warm almost pleasing feeling travel through my arms as I take a step back and raise my hand and close my eyes, taking a deep breath as a cold breeze blows past me.

I open my eyes as I feel a prick somewhere on me, as small flames lick my arms harmlessly. I swing them up, the fire flying from them. Kiki slams down where I was, the flames latching onto her and licking at her dress. She smiles and waves her sword, the small flames vanishing.

"Good for a first spell" She says happily "but try again, just imagine I"m going to cut your head off, okay?"

I nod and raise my arms, taking a deep breath

I take a deep breath and close my eyes, trying to think of something to make me angry enough to want to hurt someone badly.

Screaming, I hear screaming, screams of terror and fear, screams of the dying. I take a deep breath and taste smoke, it burns my lungs and makes my legs feel weak as I begin to see something, surrounded by fire and the scent of spilled blood.

It's dad, he's standing alone, smiling happily as the flames lick at his arms like a hungry dog. He holds his hands out for me as a man covered in shadows walks forward and stabs him in the back, and then his front, over and over again as my dad stares at me with dead eyes, pleading for me to save him, begging not to die.

I Scream in rage, and open my eyes to find the ground around me on fire and kiki standing up, her hair blow back as she looks at me, her tails waving back and forth.

"Hmm" She says nodding "Well I wasn't expecting that, even more surprises I guess"

"S..sorry" I stammer as the flames begin to die "I didn't mean to do all that"

"Oh no reason to be sorry, I wanted this" She laughs "now lets continue"

"I know I know, no need to keep apologizing, sheesh" She sighs "I don't care okay, lets just keep training"

"I'm sorry" I say again

"You really are a sweet girl, you know that" She says happily "Don't ever change, okay"

"Okay?" I say "So we're going to keep on training then"

"If you wish to" She says shrugging

"But what about the fire, I mean we can't just" I begin to say

And so was it that Amelia became impaled.
Seriously, fuck the dice tonight.

We need to seriously consider switching to a d100 to cut down on crits.

>>39697009
Nah, HM likes the crit heavyness.

I instinctively reach out to grab it, unable to stop myself from doing so as they blade stabs into my hand and sinks into it. I scream in pain and fall to my knees as I watch my blood slowly pool around the bit of the blade sticking out of my palm.

"Oh shit" Kiki says calmly "OH SHIT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?"

I open my mouth to answer her, but all I manage to do is cry and blubber as my hand shakes as I stare at the thing sticking out of my hand. My legs shake as tears roll down my cheeks and I try to move my hand, only able to make the fingers twitch and wiggle around as anything else I try to do with it sends a spike of pain down my arm.

Kiki runs over to me and crouches down, putting a hand on my shoulder as she looks at my hand, shaking her head.

"Okay, I think I can fix this" She says smiling weakly "I just need you to be brave and try not to hate me okay?"

You guys HAVE seen the way we've been rolling tonight right? Let the fox-spirit do her job.

I sob as I turn to the silver haired fox spirit and nod slowly. She smiles reasuringly, her eyes looking a bit hesitant and hurt, probably because she knows this is going to hurt me, really really bad, I can tell it is going to hurt, I don't want to do this, but I need to be strong, it has to come out of my arm, I just can't leave it in there.

She grabs my arm and gently pulls it out to my side, causing me to whine in pain as I feel the tip of the blade carve against my arm. She runs a hand through my hair as I start to breath quicker and quicker.

"Okay, just try and keep calm for this" She says as she grabs the hilt of her blade "You're lucky you're part oni, or you'd have to lose the arm"

"Y..yeah" I say nodding as I look a head.

I feel it drag out of my, cutting me as it does so, why is it taking so long to get out, just take it out already, it hurts, it hurts, it really really hurts, make it stop, good light please make it stop I don't like this I don't.

"Done" She says wiping her blade as she lets go of my arm.

I move it up and down and clench my fist, making sure it works as blood continues to ooze down my fingers and onto the ground.

"Well that wasn't...okay it was really bad" I say forcing a smile

"I imagine so" Kiki say solemnly "we can stop the training if you want"

The point is the training to use magic, we just train in a way that doesn't require the hand. Its not like Kiki can't adapt the regimen to our situation.

>>39697399
You know how much having a tiny cut on your finger hurts right? We impaled our hand on a sword, we shouldn't even be able to see straight through the tears.

>>39697285
>[] We need to deal with this fire
>[] Do we need to wrap my arm up or anything?

"N..no we don't need to stop just yet" I say as I stand up shakily

"Are you sure you still want to continue?" She asks "I mean it would be a good idea to just.."

"No, I want to keep going, I'll be okay, so don't worry" I say smiling slightly "but could we get some candy after this, or anything sweet really?"

"Sure we can, if you're set on still doing this" She says smiling "Just try and not over do it okay?"

"Okay, should we wrap my arm in anything?" I ask as I clench my hand again and again

"Well, you should be fine without it, but if it makes you feel better we'll get it wrapped up after the training" She says

"Okay, just don't want it to get infected or anything" I say

"You're part oni they rub dirt in their wounds for kicksm you'll be fine, trust me" She says giggling

I smile and giggle for a second.

"Ready to continue?" She asks smiling widely

Not a lot actually.

getting impaled on your hand hurts like shit, true, had that myself once. But its not something you can't power through.
Even if its ot necessarily a good idea to do so.
But Amelia is part Oni, so its not like she can still be compared to a regular human in the endurance department.

It was one of the first five rolls, so I can't.

"so what do I have to do now?" I ask as I try to ignore the blood running down my fingers still, warm and wet.

"Well you seem to have fire down" She says with a voice like milk and honey "so maybe you should try and change yourself, not that you need to off course"

"How exactly do I do that?" I ask "I mean it can't be as simple as just wanting to change right?"

"Well you see you have to uh" She says scrunching her face in thought "Well you uh, huh it's kind of hard to explain, hmm, Well I guess it's like oh dammit we'll do this later"

I try not to laugh as she rubs her forehead and sighs.

"So if we're not going to do that, what do I try next?" I ask with a nice friendly smile

"Just..just do whatever" She sighs as she leans against on of the bamboo? thingies and waves her hand,putting out the fire in an instant.

Wait, I could try that I mean I always thought that wind thing she did was really interesting, so it'd be fun to be able to do it myself but, I just need to think how she does. I stare at her, and she looks down at me tilting her head as she does so. Okay lets think about this, last few times I've seen her do it, she just flicks her wrist.

SO if I do it and put all my thoughts to it I can. I flick my wrist as the ground, and frown, nothing happened. I try it again and...did the grass move. I sigh and flick it again.

I gasp as a leaf moves slightly and then stops. I smile happily as Kiki looks at me like I'm crazy

I huff and puff my cheeks slightly, shaking my head. Well I guess I should just show her what I just learned to do. I flick my hand at her and she smiles slightly in a very amused way like she just saw something a bit funny.

Her Kimono flutters on the wind and I smile happily as she giggles and shakes her head.

"What are you doing?' she asks as she hold back a laugh

"The wind thingie" I say flicking my hand again, her kimono rustling again

"The wind thingie?" She asks "Never heard of that kind of magic"

"You know the thing you do with your hands, like this" I say flicking my hand again

"Well how do you know it wasn't just me having some fun" She says "you know, pretending?"

"Because I just did it" I say flatly "And because I've seen you do it, twice"

"Well it's a windy day" She says smiling smugly "and it could've just been me messing with you, ever thought about that"

"Okay then how did you make the water in the pool and the fire around here vanish?" I ask

"Well, maybe I just move it somewhere else" She says shrugging

"Please be serious about this" I sigh

"Why be serious, never any fun in being serious" She says laughing

I sigh and stare at her.

"Just tell me how you did the thing with the wind" I pout angrily

"Don't know what you're talking about there cutie" She says shrugging "I can't control the winds, it'd be silly if I could"

"But I've seen you do it" I say walking over to her "several times in fact, you can't just say those were just all coincidences"

"Oh the world is a strange place, you shouldn't try and make sense about it" She says smiling "coincidences like that happen, nothing strange about it"

"Do you really think you're going trick me like this?" I ask her

"Trick you like what I'm telling the truth" She says, her ears twitching as a breeze blows on by us

"No, you're lying, very poorly" I say

"Okay, say if I could really do that kind of stuff" She says standing up straight and walking a bit to close to me, causing me to take a step away from her "What reason would I have to lie about it?"

"Because you think it's funny" I say as I stare into her fox like eyes.

She smiles and brushes some of her hair out of her eyes as she walks over a few feet and stops, turning her back to me as she stretches in the sunlight.

"Well it is kind of funny isn't it?" She asks as her two tails wave back and forth "But by now it would just be me teasing you, and while that is a lot of fun, it'd get old real quick"

"Well, you wouldn't just give away all your secrets to someone, or anyone for that matter" I say calmly "Would you?"

"Oh you sound more like an oni every day" She sighs "not that it's a bad thing at all, unlike what some people might say"

"So I'm guessing this means you won't teach me how to use whatever it is you do with that wrist flick then?" I ask

"Well you just said why I won't didn't you?" She says laughing "so are you going to keep training or are we done for today"

"Are we done for the day?" I ask

"I don't know, you tell me" She says shrugging

"But you're the one teaching me, why do I have to decide when training is over?" I ask

"Fine" She sighs "We're done training for now, I guess, getting kind of bored"

"What is teaching too hard for you are something?" I ask

"No just too boring" She sighs as she walks off

"Wait Kiki" I say as I rush to try and catch up with her with magic or something else "What about the sweets you promised you'd get me after training"

"Oh I almost forgot about that" She says smiling friendly "well I guess I promised you that and you certainly deserve it because of the whole...yeah, just follow me, okay"

"Okay, just don't go to fast, I'm still getting used to walking around like this" I say "I think it's because of the tail"

"Yeah they're a bit hard to get used to" She sighs as she leads me through the rows of bamboo"and a bit of a pain to keep clean at first"

"Not really" I say "you just have to brush and wash it carefully"

"I won't tell you what I meant with that since I think your bodyguard would kill me if I did "She says with mock joy "Well you seem to be blessed with a very fluffy tail"

"Yeah, people seem to love to touch it" I sigh

"Well I will admit to being tempted to do the same" She giggles "and more"

"What was that?" I ask

"Nothing...nothing" She says quickly "lets just get some candy and forget about this whole mess today, okay"

"Okaay?" I say as I follow her on the path and down the short road to the city.

She quickly puts on her mask and keeps walking, humming to herself as she goes. I try and ignore the people staring at me and whispering, I mean what do they have to say, I mean I may look a bit weird, but the look weirder so they can't just talk to me like that. I shake my head and keep following Kiki, until she leads me to a small stall, not far at all from where we were and sits down. The things behind the stall is...eh, it's like a turtlish thing, with a bowl on its head. it nods when it sees her and reaches for somethings under the stall

He's 20ish, We're 15.

>>39698892
Hm said it was possible.

>>39698899
It being possible doesn't change anything about that.
It just means we could convince him to do it.
We could probably convince Helga too, Hm is pretty freestyle, doesn't mean we should do it.

I sit down on a cushioned stool next to her and tap my fingers on the counter of the stall as I wait for the creature that owns it to come back. I think it had a shell to, but I didn't want to be rude and point it out.

A few seconds later it pops back up and places two bowls of little colorful bits of candy, covered in powder sugar and a few leaves from some kind of plant. Kiki grabs one and sucks on it slowly, licking it all over and making a great mess of it. I grab one from my bowl and take a bite of it, slowly chewing on it to try and enjoy it's flavor.

"Hey kiki, do you think your lord would let you help me get to your cousin?" I ask

"Well I don't care if he would" She says "but if you're wondering, I would help you, if only to see something more exciting for once"

"Oh, well I was going to ask you if you wanted to come anyways" I say happily as I begin to chew on another bit of candy "wait, so you'd only come for some fun"

"Well if you're offering" She laughs "But no, no, I just don't want someone as nice as you to travel alone"

"But I have Marcus" I say "And Helga, and I doubt that Na'kal wouldn't follow me out of here"

"Yeah, but Marcus is just a man" She says "and Na'kal well, he's a bit well you know"

"Na'kal" I sigh "But Marcus is more than enough to protect me"

"Unless you need magic" She signs "and besides you need training or you may end up burning things on accident, and that wouldn't be too good would it"

"Okay, okay you have a bit of a point" I say "But you don't need to act so smug about it"

"But it's so fun feeling superior" She sighs "Even though I know I'm not, it's a curse really"

"What is?" I ask "I just thought most of the fox spirits I met just loved themselves to much"

"Oh they were, It's just that I can't help but to not try and one up people" She says smiling "and I don't like it"

"So why don't you stop, I mean it just sounds like you're a bit competitive" I say

"Because then I'd admit I have a problem" she says angrily "and then I'd lose"

"Lose what?" I ask "Your dignity?"

"No I've lost that long ago on a cold night" She says "I'd lose the battle against myself"

"Then you'd also win wouldn't you?" I ask

"Well you're right but it would still be a lose for admitting it" I say

"More of a tie really" I say shrugging "and it isn't really a contest when the only person competing is you"

"Well, I...look it's just something I do okay" She sighs heavily "I may not like it, but I enjoy it"

"You know you won't make many friends if you act like that, Kiki?" I say as I grab a little squishy candy and stuff it in my mouth, sucking the sugar off of it before I begin to chew it up into pieces.

"Well, maybe I don't want to have many friends" She says shrugging "not everyone needs to have friends you know"

"That's not true, everyone needs a friend or two at least" I say

"Well to humans maybe but, it's kind of hard to trust anyone in a clan known for backstabbing almost everyone" she sighs "hell they damn near jam it into your head about not trusting anyone the second you join, besides the clan of course"

"That doesn't sound healthy for anyone" I say, trying not to show my shock in my tone

"Yeah, I mean you've seen the effects it has on some people" She laughs "thanks for killing that one guy, he was getting annoying lately anyways"

"I don't want to talk about that" I say "I didn't like having to fight him"

"Then don't" She laughs

"okay" I say as I grab another sweet candy "So how can you not like something, but enjoy it"

"Well it's hard to explain" She says "I guess it's like a sour and sweet candy you know, you endure that sour so you can enjoy the sweet"

"That doesn't make any sense Kiki" I say

"yeah, I guess it doesn't" She says with a smile "But it makes sense to me, so that's all that matters"

"So who were you before you joined the silver tails?" I ask "And don't try and pretend you were always like you were, I already know"

"Do you really want to know?" She asks "because if you tell anyone I'll have to ...punish you"

"Yeah, I like to know about my friends, you know" I say smiling "especially one as nice as you are"

"Friends" She says slowly, before smiling "Well so long as it doesn't go any places besides us, I'll tell you, okay"

"Okay, not like I'd tell anyone a secret from a friend" I say happily

She smiles and takes a deep breath, licking a candy for a few second.

"Well I'm not like you" She says "Wasn't born into wealth, you know, had to spend most of my days working"

I nod as I suck on a few more pieces of candy, but otherwise devoting all my attention to her story of herself.

"I know I don't look the type, but I could tell you the exact days you should harvest the fields and what days to plant" She says, her tone changing and losing it's usually soft edge "also how to forget you're hungry for a few days"

I stare at her as she frowns and starts to look a bit sad, like she's remembering something that hurts her deeply, I know that look pretty well by now.

"Anyways, a few bandits slaughter my parents like pigs and dragged me a way one day" She says smiling "and lord Akio saved me and well, you can see what happened next"

"So you were a farmer?" I ask

"Yes, thought I was clear enough with that" She sighs "Clearly I was wrong"

"You don't seem to troubled by all that" I say "the stuff about the bandits"

"Why should I?" She asks "It's been so long I've forgotten what I used to be called, or what my parents looked like"

"That's really tragic you know" I say feeling bad for her now

"It will happen to you to" She says "small details not worth remembering"

I stare at the bowl of sweets, trying not to think too deeply about what she said when I notice some blood on my candy. wait where did that come...oh right

"No because you're trailing blood everywhere" She says "Making a real mess with it actually"

"Oh" I say "Well could we get some candy to go?"

"Sure" She says smiling as she taps on the counter.

I hear the owner of the stall curse under it and Kiki laughs, and laughs and laughs.

I dunno, I kind of would prefer not dragging someone with us who thinks starting punching people for no reason is a great thing to do.
Sort of sours our diplomancer game.

Realistically he's gonna follow us if we want to or not, but still.

>>39699846
He's the party tank. Also he respects us so we can make him behave. Dra'kal is pretty smart so i'm sure we can bludgeon etiquette into Na'kal's head.

"Sorry Marcus" I say, my ears flopping down as I look at my feet, trying not to look My bodyguard in the eyes "I wasn't careful during training, like you told me to be"

"You don't need to appologize Mi'lady" He sighs, patting me on the head "I just wonder how you managed to get a cut down near to your elbow"

"I tried to catch a sword" I say feeling myself blush

He stares at me, his expression unchanging as his short beard blows on the wind slightly. He sighs a throaty sigh and rubs his forehead.

"Why were you trying to catch a sword Amelia?" He asks, not sounding angry at all, which means he's probably furious

"No reason" I say looking away from him, and out towards the sea

"Who threw a sword at you Amelia" He asks smiling, the same smile he wore when he was about to go kill me uncles

"No one" I say, feeling a bit scared for Kiki now.

"Okay" He says standing up "Well don't do it again, okay?"

"Wait, what?" I ask

"Obviously it was an accident" He says happily "No reason for me to worry, just don't do it again, okay Mi'lady?"

Marcus is the berserker. Na'kal is the tank/juggernaut. Also seems to take a concerted effort to take off the horn.If Marcus trains the lug to guard his face(or wear a helmet) He'll be fine.

I think you got it the exact opposite way around. Na'kal is the one with the super strength, no lack of technique and reckless fighting style.
Marcus got the skill and experience.

Nah man, Marcus is the fighter, and Na'kal is the berserker.

"Okaaaay" I say trying to not sound surprised that he isn't going to try and kill someone because of this.

"Oh you don't have to act surprised about it" He says laughing

"Sorry, it's just..do you want some candy Marcus?" I ask holding out a tiny box filled with the candies.

He grabs it and smiles,nodding to me as he puts it into the bag tied to his belt, but not before he takes a single piece of candy.

"Thank you Mi'lady" He says as he tosses the candy in his mouth.

"So why is Helga all flustered and red?" I ask as I turn to my embarrassed handmaiden...did she try to put on make up. I snicker, and feel a bit bad about it.

"We were going to go fishing before you came crying to me" He says "As for the make up, I don't know, maybe the silver tails got her again or something"

"You can't think of any other reason why she'd put on make up, before asking to do something with you?" I ask

"I can, but I'm not going to" He says

"Why not?" Helga whines

"Because I really want to go fishing now" He says "isn't it obvious?"

Helga pouts and turns away as Marcus walks over to the beach, whistling to himself as he goes.

Its not like fishing is a bad idea, calm activity that prevents silence from being awkward.
Don't worry Helga, you're gonna get him one day.

>>39700074
>[] try and cheer up Helga
>[]where's your dad

I walk over to my friend, who's currently looking a bit like one of those clowns I saw around on the holidays a few time at my old home, the day of fools, one of my favorite holiday accidentally.

"So why did you think fishing would work?" I ask

"I don't know, I just thought maybe it'd lead to something" She sighs "I didn't know he'd take it seriously"

"He takes everything seriously and not serious at all" I say

"yeah, I can tell" Helga says sadly

"Oh don't be so glum, you'll get him one day" I say patting her gently on the back

"You think so?" She asks

"of course, I mean you're pretty and really nice, how couldn't he fall for you?" I ask

"Well, he could just not fall for me" She sighs sadly, holding her head in her arms "That could happen"

"But it won't" I say

"And why's that?" I ask

"Because...because I know Marcus" I say "And I think he'd eventually give in"

"Thanks but, I just think I'll wait a bit before trying to win his hear again" She says sounding a bit happier "So why did you try to catch a sword anyways?"

Is that supposed to ask why she likes Marcus? Otherwise the answer would be pretty obvious.

>>39700343

overconfidence.
[] why did you want to seduce marcus?

"I don't know, I just guess I just wanted to look cool or something" I say "though it was more just me acting on my instincts"

"So you instincts told you to grab a sword?" Helga giggles "Sounds a bit like horseshit"

"It was, in much politer words" I say "didn't feel good at all"

"I imagine it didn't" she says "well good thing you weren't human when it happened, my lady"

"Yeah it actually was really fortunate wasn't it?" I say smiling "also why are you so interested in Marcus"

"Well, he's really cool and well, hot" She says blushing "and nice and really caring, and smart and...well I could go on about him for awhile you know"


"Yeah I think I do know" I say "But how did it all start"

"When he carried me" She sighs "It just that I felt so safe in his arms and...don't laugh amelia"

"I wasn't laughing" I say as I bite my tongue quickly

"Yes you were" She says angrily

"Sorry" I say

"It's okay" She huffs "also aren't we going to try and get to your cousin or something?"

"Yeah, it's just we need to prepare for the journey" I say "never know what you might find out there"

"Yeah, well besides death" She says

"Well I hope we don't find anything like that" I say smiling as I watch the sun set on the beach

"Well, wherever you go, I go" Helga says "and besides, I know you and Marcus will keep me safe from anything out there"

"Yeah" I say smiling "Yeah we will"

Thanks for running HM.
I enjoyed this thread, nice to have some stronger character interaction.

>>39700616
Thanks for running.

Do we get more tails when getting better at magic?

well that was an excellent way to get rid of the waifu/husbandoing.

>>39700695
I don't think thats really the point, since there are more than enough characters for that left.
I think its nice to have characters actually have established relationships with others, way too often quests have companions just orbit the protag and do nothing else.

I don't even mean relationships in the romantic sense, just, interacting with eachother.

>>39700673
Yeah

>>39700616
So, does the chest also combine other objects or is it for transformation stuff only.

>>39700695
Did you miss the bit where Helga has been falling for Marcus for a while now? This wasn't HM just trying to put a stop to waifu arguments.

>>39700754
And more/larger horns when we get more /fit/?

I wasn't sure if we get more tails for getting better at magic, or get better at magic with more tails.

Can we add other stuff to ourselves with the chest?
