>The trip has been temporarily suspended once a Pre-Great War Magitech Tank was unearthed by Ninety-Nine Copper. The girl refuses to hand over what she calls her 'new stock' to the Aquatic Defense Force, who themselves are trying to fight back the Historical Society of History.

>Vendal is working hard to try and talk Ninety-Nine down from the tank.

>While all this is going on, Tali is sitting at a bench with Ceera, the two of them eating some Undine pastries. As they eat their hands intertwine and Tali strokes the top of Ceera's hand with his thumb.

"Tali!" A voice cries out, shocking the elf out of his daydream and forcing him to let go of Ceera's hand.

>He sees Azul run up to him.

"Hey, Tali. Can I talk to you for a second? Alone?"

>Tali looks at Ceera then shrugs and says he'll be back.

Azul hasn't spoken to me in forever... I wonder what this could be about. Oh man! What if it's the mission!? What if the headmaster is mad at me because I haven't been sending in any reports!?

WHAT IF I GET EXPELLED!?

"Tali.."

"Y-yes..?"

"Hey, man... I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something..?"

"What is it..?"

My opinion?

"Yeah. You know Tessa, right?"

"Yeah."

"Do you uh... Think she likes me likes me. Or just likes me?"

"........."

Cute. She wants to sell it, so just tell them to buy it off of her. Maybe they'll get into a nice little bidding war and land 99c some real cash.

"Tessa? Like, Tessa Ur?"

"Yeah! The two of us have been talking for a while and we always hang out and... Well, I was wondering if she thinks that I think that I want to go out with her or if she just thinks that I think that she thinks we're just friends."

"... What."

"I just figured I'd ask you since, you know, you're going out with Ceera."

"... How do you know that?"

"I think everyone in the class does? I mean, you keep going to her room. You guys are always seen together... I'm just wondering how you knew she was into you and if you think Tessa feels that way for me."

Gentlemen, I'm afraid we've corrupted Tali too far. It looks like we will have to put him down.

>>45403242
>I'm just wondering how you knew she was into you
Oh yeah, that. The kiss. The forced kiss. The rape kiss. The elf kiss.

>>45403264
Or make him female and then integrate him into our harem.

>>45403286

>>45403286

"... I don't think my methods will apply to you..."

"Come on, Tali!"

"Shouldn't you be more focused on getting secrets from the school?"

"Hey, you're worse off than me."

"I got a lot of secrets."

"Ahahaha... Come on, Tali. Please. Tell me how you did it. At least give me something to work on."

...
Should I just lie to him? I don't think the truth will work.
Unless you guys want to try and help him. I mean, that seems to work.

>>45403367
Just comfy him up, push him to Tessa, and let the comfy do its magic.

>>45403367
You gotta ride the highway to the danger zone Maverick.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E

>>45403367

Be forward. Ask her. Before the bonds of friendship ensnare him further into the dreaded "friend-zone".

And if he inevitably stutters or beats around the bush, do what this orb-voice says: >>45403398

>>45403367
"Just tell her how you feel you dummy. " Maybe say you were also forward, but don't go into specifics.

>>45403367
Aren't they different species entirely? How would that even work?

And no Tali, lying is bad. There's nothing wrong with telling him the truth, I mean, you stole Ceera's first kiss but she really liked that; so the same thing may apply to Azul and Tessa.

>>45403367
Ceer are weak to shows of physical affection and I kinda saved her life from a teacher.

>>45403367
Tell him to be honest about his feelings and go foward like a man.

Even if he get's rejected he told her how he felt, but c'mon, what are the chances he'll get rejected

>>45403367
>Unless you guys want to try and help him. I mean, that seems to work
Tali, don't help him.
You have more pressing issues, like 99c who is about to reenact a scene from WW2.

>>45403367
Tell him the truth about Tessa. She's into another boy, isn't she?

If helping him, then tell him to ask her out, hit her with a rock, tie her up and kiss her when she struggles.

>>45403367
Hand us off to the runt we will teach him good.

>>45403367
Hand the orb to him for a moment.
Now, I want you to go to her and whisper this to her ear.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPC6328ulVM

>>45403367
Bah, just tell him to confess and whatever happens happens, we ain't got time for school life shenanigans that don't involve you.

>>45403367
Give him to us for a bit while you help 99c sell that thing

>MAQ running
Today is a good day.

>>45403367
Don't lie, that'll come back to bite your pale elf ass eventually. Tell her to go for a date with Tessa. Everything will work out. Unless it won't.

>>45403517
This honestly is a good idea compared to being dragged off...

>>45403483
I'm pretty sure Tessa is actually into Azul. Tell him to tell her he's interested. That's...basically what we did. It's minor altering of the truth at best.

But also we need Tessa's help for something. Maolin apparently is incapable of love, which is terrible, so after he asks her out have him tell Tessa to meet up with us so we can solve the problem.

>>45403367
Yell at 99c not to press any buttons, one of them controls the self-destruct.

>>45403367
I forget, but hasn't Tali confessed an interest for someone? Either way, she seems like a real romantic, so tell the sharktooth to give some poetry or something to Tessa

>>45403435
>Aren't they different species entirely? How would that even work?
The question is not how would it work, but what would stop them from making it work.

>>45403613
She told us many threads ago. Anyone remembers it?

>>45403367
>Tali's Confirmed Spells:
>Detect Love
Can't we just custom-tailor it as "Detect Love for Azul" ?

>>45403718
There's like an 80% chance she meant Azul when she was saying she was into someone, but we don't read minds so we can't be absolutely certain.

>>45403825
I doubt we can just pull out other people's personal runes willy-nilly

>Tali thinks back to how he met Ceera. That wonderfully romantic moment when he threw a rock in her face and knocked her out. Or how she took control of his body to escape his murderous teacher.
>And that time that his orb possessed body kissed her forcibly.
>And how she was then kidnapped and practically forced to join the school.

>And then how he used his kisses to tempt her into giving information.

>And

Wow...

That was honestly a really fucked up start.
I think if that were any other girl I'd be in jail or something.

"Honestly, bro, I think she's into you. I mean, she's talked about you a bit. My advice? Just go and tell her how you feel. We're not at this school for long... So let her know. Whatever happens happens."

"... Y-yeah. You're right. Yeah! I'm gonna go tell her! Tali, thanks for helping me. You're super cool."

"No problem. Good luck man."

"Th-thanks. I'll let you know how it goes!"

I am the best at helping people.

>>45403877
Stick some Tali-Brand comfy in him.

>>45403877
You've gotta comfy him so he can relax and be as SMOOTH as possible.

>>45403825
Tali could pretty easily throw together 'Detect Undine on Undine Love', assuming he's been paying attention in class.

Tali have you been paying attention in class or would I have to write that for you?

>>45403877
Tali, join 99c and conquer the beach!

>>45403903
If we're so good at it we can probably target his anxiety and not make him drowsy or anything

>>45403877
99c is about to go commando on everyone ever.

>>45403877
Could you update the rune book to include all the runes Tali knows.

>>45403877
>That was honestly a really fucked up start.
Relax, man, we've had worse.
>I think if that were any other girl I'd be in jail or something.
Yeeeah, that's kind of what happened.

>I am the best at helping people.
Indeed you are. Now go help 99c make the best deal on her new stock.

>>45403968
We can solve this. Put EVERYONE to sleep. Maximum comfy.

>>45403877
The funniest part was CEERA went to jail for awhile, not you.

Racism is amazing!

Speaking of spellcrafting, I've been working on a page to help spell out the known spellcrafting rules that have been introduced so far.

Here's a preview of the thing.

>>45403718
Found it: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/43894155/#p43895437

She's definitely into him.

>>45403877
He looks pretty nervous. You should comfy him a little.

You know, if the tank's that valuable it'd probably make a good gift for Faelanerium...

>>45403877
Tali, as 99c's boss, you should go in and defuse the situation before it gets out of hand... which it will real soon.

>>45403871
Just scribble together Detect Love for <somebody> and hand it to Azul to fill in his personal rune.
I mean, teaching teenager to make reliable "is this person into me" checks at their convenience will have absolutely no downsides whatsoever.

>>45403939
>'Detect Undine on Undine Love'
Hilarity ensues when non-Undine pings under the detection. Some people have really weird tastes.

>>45404060
You should get Arhra to make some standardized vector symbols or something, then you could also make the images a good bit smaller.

>>45403877
Now go deal with 99c. You might be able to get her to come out with quite a tidy profit.
Also I'm going to need some input on this spell. Depending on how it works we could be on the cusp of simply ignoring any magical defences our targets have.

>>45403877
Comfy away those nerves! Without them he'll be smooth as hell.

Then we should probably convince 99c to start the bidding war and... not an actual war...

>>45404080
>>45403877
Suggest a foursome later.

No wait, 5some, Vaisi would be all over it.

See if you can recruit vendal into the future orgy.

>>45403877
You know how we can sell this thing for a whole lot more money than it's presently worth?
By making it fully operational first!

>>45404175
>No wait, 5some, Vaisi would be all over it.
I wonder if we could recover Vaisi's old arms and replace the claw fingers with dildoes

>>45404221
Thinking too small.

How about TENTACLE ARMS. With splitting ability.

>>45404221
>>45404272
Vaisi a pure. PURE!

As a side note, I must say XCOM has given me new appreciation of going for the snek tits.

>>45404375
That only makes the inevitable corruption more delicious

>>45404375
Vaisi is lewds given a roughly human shape.

>>45404375
Pure sex, anon.

>>45404221
>>45404272
Don't... No, that's horrible!

>>45404043
At least it worked out in the end.

Now, what in the world is going on with Ninety-Nine Copper.

>Tali goes back to Ninety-Nine who is brandishing a cannon at any who get near her. Before he can get too close a man approaches him.

"Excuse me," The undine says, "Are you her friend?"

"I am. What's going on?"

"My name is Relineth Coru, I work for the Aquatic Defense Force. Your friend has unearthed a very dangerous, anti-sentient, pre-war, tank. We are trying to take it peacefully but she refuses to comply. We-"

>Another person runs up.

"Don't listen to him! The Historical Society of History deserve that artifact! It's priceless and belongs in a museum, not in a dusty warehouse where none will appreciate it!" The human/undine says.

"We do not have a policy of handing over weapons of destruction to people."

"We are not just people! We are a highly respected organization that has been collecting such artifacts since the first laws were laid down!"

>The two continue to argue.

I might be in over my head on this one.

>>45404492
If they want it that badly, why don't they just buy it from 99?

99! Impromptu Auction Time!

>>45404492
Ask how much money they're willing to offer, Tali. TAKE THE HIGHEST BID. CAPITALISM, HO!

Also what's happening with Thala in the background there?

>>45404492
"She wants it for her store, right? Buy it off of her. "

>>45404492
"Each of you may feel you deserve it, but she was the one who found it. It's hers, and if you want it, you have to offer her something of equal value in return. Buy it off her."

>>45404492
Begin the auction

Listen to your greed ELF

Wait did he mean to say sentient
LET US BECOME THE TANK

>>45404492

Find a tank of your own and challenge 99c to a friendly match!

>>45404492
Simple: have 99c sell it to the highest bidder.

>>45404492
PRESS US TO THE TANK!

>>45404492
Ignore them and go help Ninety-Nine.

>>45404492
Inform them that you're friends with a dragon who would be very interested in that tank, and that they'll have to be a lot more convincing if they want us to place their wants over hers.

>>45404492
Today 99c will learn the magic of supply and demand and how to exploit monopolies on a resource to force prices to skyrocket. I'm sure there are plenty of other people that would be interested in acquiring this incredibly valuable and dangerous machine.

>>45404492
Cut tank in half, let each of them have part.

>>45404492
You should probably talk to 99c before doing anything.

Also, what does anti-sentient mean?
Does the tank's weapons only affect living things, or does it hate all life?

>>45404492
Why? Just imagine it, Vaisis's delicate tentacle arms slowly caressing and rubbing over every inch of available flesh....

then she sticks it in your pooper

>>45404605
Merging with any artificial body we can't use to properly satisfy dragonmom is beneath us.

Golem Tank?
GOLEM TANK!!

WANT TO CORRUPT IT!!

>>45404725
I'm sure she's gonna do that at some point even if left with just mundane means.

>>45404492
It's 2 men and 3-4 girls. I don't think you'll really have a problem

>>45404492
Have the Bean Counter Orb Identify its Net Worth

>>45404726
I'm pretty sure we figure out a way to use that big phallic cannon to aid in our quest. Also my idea was more along the lines of subjugating its will like we did with the book. Actually what does the blue orb say about the tank?

>>45404699
It means it's weaponry is designed to kill sentient creatures.

>>45404492
Ask the Tank what it wants

>>45404492
Throw us at the tank Tali! Our taking direct control of it is the only way to resolve this "peacefully"

>>45404781
We are the blue orb, dummy. You mean the orange nerd?

>>45404832
Yes. I must now commit sudoku to regain the honour of my family.

>>45404786
Yeah, maybe it's only anti-sapient because everyone wants to treat it like a weapon. Maybe it wants to be a t-shirt cannon operator! Or a scuba instructor!

Remember Tali

"Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers." Apply Comfy as much as you need to keep tensions down.

Ok so on the face of it, the military should be able to dump a lot more cash on the tank. However they may not be able to clear to expense due to beurocracy

>>45404492

Whoever makes the better offer wins the tank.

After all, 99c found it. It wouldn't be right to just take it from her. Nobody would even know about it if it weren't for her digging.

However, to help it weed out friendly and unfriendly thoughts it has been made sentient itself. 90% of such tanks have taken their own lives. Threat Rating- 0 due to being turned off. If turned on it will be a 65]]

"Guys, listen! Ninety-Nine here found the thing first. She's mad cause you're trying to -take- it from her. Instead, you should buy it! We'll auction it off right here and now! If that's okay with you, Ninety-Nine."

>The shopkeep nods and lowers her cannon slightly.

>The undine gathered around the ank seem to agree as well and begin making their bids.

"I think," The Historical Society Undine begins, "That you should donate the tank so that all in the future may enjoy seeing this great piece of historical technology!"

"While we shouldn't have to pay for anything," The Defense Force Undine states, "We feel that you do have a point in that you did uncover it. We will pay you 1000 Alm for the weapon."

>Another undine, one with their head down, approaches the tank and mutters.

"20,000 Alm..."

>>45405065
Sold to the freaky looking ceerdine thing.

>>45405065
Fuckers are Low-balling us

>>45405065
Twenty thousand alm offered! Do I hear thirty?!

>>45405065

Put us against the tank, we'll make it our bitch just like that one book.

>>45405065
Wait, before you do anything, find out who the third undine represents

>>45405065
Scan the undine.

>>45405065
Hold on, Tali. That guy who offered 20k Alm is kind of creepy. Ask what he'd use it for, so we're not selling the tank to some evil genius bent on destroying Serda.

>>45405177
Someone with a buttload of cash obviously.

>>45405154
But it is already a bitch

Even the Beancounter says they just kill themselves

>>45405065
Offer a kiss Tali.

>>45405065
Seems a little low. Maybe we can get more from elsewhere.

>>45405065
>Why
Because if you're not forward enough with her, she's gonna take initiative herself. The girl just needs some love. Mostly on physical level.

>>45405065
>Threat Rating- 0 due to being turned off. If turned on it will be a 65]]
Sounds legit, most lifeforms become more threatening when turned on.

>"20,000 Alm..."
Now we're talking.

>>45405065
These guys are practically robbing us! This is an extremely ancient piece of tech that in the wrong hands could be disastrous. 50k minimum with 10k smallest bid

>>45405065
People who don't have their credentials checked cannot place bids.
Please state the name of your organization or be prepared to pay in cash.

>>45405065
50000 Alm minimal or got lost deadbeat

>>45405065
Looks like the current price is 20000 Alm. Anyone gonna beat that?

>>45405065
Create an illusion of a shady looking Ceer wearing a fake nose and rubbing his hands.

Scan the 3rd guy with the Orange Orb.

>>45405065
20 000 alm? What do you think this is? A fucking elfswagen golf?

>>45405065
Could Tali comfy them and make them more receptive to higher bidding?

>>45405065
Deal, sell it.

>>45405065
What, you don't want her to stroke your throbbing elfhood?

>>45405389
That's not how it works, you gotta let the other guys to bid for it as well.
Also, Wizards have no sense of right and wrong and in the event they'll start that tank up, we can just comfy it back to sleep because it's sentient.

I'm thinking that maybe open bidding may have been a bad idea. Especially since I'm not sure 99c would even know what to do with a big windfall.

Let's see how deep those pockets are.

Considering the numbers 99c is putting out from this, you'd think that the shareholders would consider her for the position of CEO soon.

I'd really like to sell to that military guy if possible. hopefully he has enough pull to simply outbid creepy guy. If not that's a whole lot of "Not my fucking problem"
>>45405700

I veto this motion. We cannot claim ignorance if the creepy guy says something really bad and that would force us to sell it to the military guy at reduced price.

Activate it. My idea is he's some kind of doomsday cultist.

"That's 50,001! Going once, going twice, Sir, what do you plan on using the tank for?"

"Personal... Things... I like... Tanks..."

>The other two look horrified.

"50,002 Alm!" The Defense Force man shouts. The other undine hisses and walks off. Apparently the extra Alm was just too much.

"Going once, going twice...! Sold!"

1/2

>>45405495
Point out to the historical society of history that since 99c is actually a store, they can use artifacts to bid as well if they lack the currency as 99c can always just sell them.

I'm sure they've got a ton of functioning replica items that would be a cheap price to pay for an authentic piece.

You stopped true love Tali. I'm ashamed of you.

Well technically you're 1-1 right now, since you helped out your buddy earlier.

You could start a franchise

>>45406074
You're not rich until you bank it/get it back to Minia. And even then, you need to consider taxes & stuff.

Make sure to get your haggling fee, 10%.

She may wanna put the money in a bank. Then use it to build a real shop. Especially now that she has REAL DOSH and the school will start charging her for it.

>>45406074
Nope this is black ops money

Cant be declared

And we need it leg it before the tax man breaks our legs

>>45406074
Time to advise 99c to open up a savings account with a trusted financial institution. It's not good to be carrying around that kind of money.

>>45406074
Tali, suggest 99c improve her shop with said funds.

Maybe start selling undine stuff.

>>45406074
It's time to expand 99c's shop, Tali! More profit, more alm!

>>45406074
Now you have enough money for a corporate takeover.
Also, you gotta pay tax for that.

>>45406074
Tali, how could you do such thing to the poor tank?
Also, take a share, and tell her to invest.

>>45406074
Get the Beancounter to handle this

Or at least tell us the threat rating of having this much money out in the open and us not being dragons

>>45406074
Expand the shop, reinvest in the store, don't spend it all in one place.

Freaky Fish Fact: The largest fish on the planet at the moment is the whale shark.

>>45406074
I'm afraid that's not the case until you invest that money.
You see, the way taxes work is that if you don't have expenses, you can't write them off and considering the sizeable amount of money you just made, you're going lose a good chunk of that.

However, should you become the owner of a private business, then you'll be able to write off the expenses in your company off from taxes.

>>45406074
Invest it.
If you gain 1 000 000 alm and there's 1% inflation, that's a loss of 10 000 alm.
More so from property tax and VAT.

You must tie your property to something to prevent it from losing value as money is a perisheable commodity and also you need expenses that can be written off in taxation in order to keep your fortune from being bled away by the goverment.

This seems like a lot of stuff that I don't know about. I've never been good at finance.

"I think you are, Ninety-Nine. Mind if I get my auctioneer fee?"

>Ninety-Nine nods and gives him 1,000 Alm. This is the most money he's ever had in his life at any one point.

>Tali adds it to his inventory but Ninety-Nine looks around at the artifacts she has left and frowns.

"I need to take this back to the store..." She says.

>Just as she says that Vendal approaches Tali.

"Hey," She says, "Tali... I need to talk to the Professor and take Ninety-Nine back home with this stuff before she causes more trouble... Can you go find the Professor for me while I watch over Ninety-Nine here?"

"Where is she?"

"Honestly... I'm not entirely sure... She just goes off when we come here and comes back after a while. If you can't find her though just let me know. I'll probably have to have Lily stay here to watch over Ninety-Nine... As odd as that may seem she's still the only one that can, according to the rules..."

Hmm. I guess I can go look for her. Is there anyone I should take with me or should I go alone?

>>45406660
You've got your own partner, don't you? You'll want to take her, if she's not busy. Or at least tell her where you're going.

Point out to Vendal that 99c is now in legitimate danger and they should probably have someone that can protect them nearby. Actual protection and not just students even if we are now technically one of the more dangerous beings in a several kilometer radius.

I have to remain here until this is all sorted out. Good luck, though! If I were you I would check the nearby stands. They're open to view from the outside and a lot of people tend to gather there."

WHOA
THAT'S A BIG STEP, TALI
I know this is a difficult decision to make, but if you really love Ceera, you'll know what to say.

JUST DO IT!
DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!

>>45407215
Maybe, what are the odds one or both of us won't be killed?

>>45407215
Tali, it is likely you'll get killed the moment you set foot in Ceer lands.

>>45407215
Sounds like a good offer. Maybe take her up on it when the school year's out?

>>45407266
yes

point out she won't get to wear the cute hat and bikini anymore, there won't be warm beaches to lie in and water to swim in, etc, etc.

honestly a ceer's home sounds like hell

>>45407215
Eventually it'd be cool, but wouldn't they kill you?

>>45407215
Maybe once this mission is over.

>>45407215
Well, you'll probabably die, so you better leave the orb here, at least.

>>45407215
Like I don't already know this trick.

First it's a few years. Then it gets delayed. Then delayed again. And again. And again. Then you never return home.

>>45407215
Okay, Tali, this one is on you. We can't dictate how you feel.

I mean, unless she's in mortal danger and we assume direct control. That was fun!

>>45407215
Hey, that's like ALL the secrets right there Tali. Bleach your hair and skin, hide your ears. THey'd never know!

>>45407309
>honestly a ceer's home sounds like hell
Hell is other people.

>>45407215
Tali, this is your choice, buddy. I mean if it's just for a few years, it probably would be a pretty cool experience, but in the end you decide this.

>>45407397
Solution: Tali must become a hermit.

>>45407215
After graduation, why not?

It's important to experience new societies, and appreciate their unique ideas: food, culture, killing all Elemental-Ceer couples. Wait, why does she think this is a good idea?

This hell is filled with ceer like Ceera pre-lewd.

>>45407482
So, bringing enough lewds for everybody will make them tolerable?

>>45407215
This one's on you, Tali. Just go with whatever your heart says.

Now, for finding Holly. We're looking for a human who... hates Ceer? Ugh, no, we don't even know the rune for hate. Just ask Ceera to find her, she doesn't even have to bother with runes.

>>45407215
Soon, or after we graduate? Because if the latter, or doing whatever summer vacation type thing the school has, then I'd recommend it. Assuming she had a plan to keep us both safe. Can't rely completely on comfy magic to keep you safe, after all.

But yeah, it seems important to her, and she's important to you/us, so it's certainly worth looking into.

>>45407215
Yeah if it's safe and wont turn Tali into a Ceer or anything, sure. After school and stuff, and maybe not right away.

Oh god, Ceera is pregnant.

"<It's always possible that they won't. It's not really against the rules for us to be together... It's just never happened before and is highly discouraged...>"

How do I feel about Ceera.

Would I want to move in with her? Even after the mission is over?

I'm...

"Ceera, I think it's a neat idea... But not right now. I have to do my mission first, you know that. Maybe when I graduate... But, really, are you sure it's safe? I remember you saying elementals never entered your homeland before."

"<It has happened before. What I should say is that no elemental lives in my homeland. A few have entered...>"

"That doesn't sound good..."

"<I can keep you in my own home and with your magic you can just stay hidden. You'll like the place, Tali. It has really pretty crystals and the lakes there are a beautiful shade of purple. And if you really want we can go there as soon as tomorrow. I know a route that is hardly used.>"

She seems...
Really insistent.

>>45407559
>Oh god, Ceera is pregnant.
How long as Ceera been a ceer?

Oh god, I hope this won't play out like a bad episode of sixteen and pregnant.

>>45407571
Considering our lifespan versus theirs, it's more like she brings home a stray puppy. A stray puppy she fucks, but still.

>>45407672
Instead of you moving to Ceerland, why not ask Ceera to move to your hometown?

>>45407672
Possible they won't isn't good enough we need to open a line of communication and clear things up before we go there.

>>45407672
Huh Tali, you really can't accept right now.

You should probably promise her to visit her homeland once you have graduated.

>>45407672
It sounds nice but... staying at home? Being kept hidden? It sounds more like a prison then a home. Maybe if the Ceers change their mind about these sort of relationships, and elementals as a whole.

Right now it's just too dangerous and you wouldn't actually be able to SEE most of it, due to having to hide.

>>45407672
You knocked her up, Tali. Of course she'd want to be with you. If you don't feel the same way, I'd be really disappointed.

>>45407672
Ask why she's so insistent on you going there all of a sudden.
She didn't mention this stuff back when you were sitting together just a little while ago, did she?

>>45407672
Hmm... Something is clearly different here. Maybe ask straight up why she brought this up now and if there is anything she needs to tell us.

>>45407672
Sounds nice, just leave us with someone who is not about to die, and everything should be fine.

>>45407672
Why can't she stay here with you?

>>45407672
Ask her how long she's known she's pregnant.

>>45407672
>She seems...
>Really insistent.
OH GOD SHE'S PREGGERS

>>45407672
Tali, you've associated with dragons and delved into dungeons. It's a bit late to be avoiding deadly situations now.

>>45407672
Being hidden doesn't sound like a life either of you would like to have... what you need to do, Tali, is elope together once you've graduated. Travel the world! Fight crime!

>>45407672
Got any buns in the oven Ceera?

>>45407672
Now, now, guys, Ceera pregnancy is really unlikely. It's been implied her soul used to belong to an Undine, so maybe being here is making her feel homesick?

>>45407672
The seed is strong.

Freaky Fish Fact: Tiger shark pups fight to the death in the womb, the winner is given a live birth.

You gotta finish school first, Tali. And settle all of your sidequests. so many fuckin' sidequests.

You gotta bondage the faildragon and help flora get and test out a new mouth and dive dungeons and wait for the elf-loving knight to be rebuilt and help 99c build a capitalist empire and demolish vaisi's ass and help anita not be a flat ceer and help lily with her MAGIC EYES and uh.

I'm probably forgetting things, but dang, dude.

>>45407884
>Undine
Ceera has got no Undine features on her, not to mention we found her near the academy in a forest.

>>45407672
Ply your way into her hidden motives. Perhaps it's a Ceer health issue. They're pretty fragile. Something dietary?

>>45407672
Maybe, we will see. Shouldn't more of them get to know Tali before that, though? So they won't try to kill him?

>>45407907
Wait Aren't we rooting for Vaisis and Ceera to demolish Talis ass?

And Lily already fixed her magic eye situation, She getting training on that

>>45407907
Speaking of Flora I designed a spell that would allow her to simply convert her current mouth to any she sees.

I suspect this is less about get being pregnant, and more about her reaction to Tali meeting an eldritch being below the waves.

>>45407672
...she's hiding something. Ask her directly

>>45407907
I'm pretty sure we could accomplish most of that without him.

>>45407985
maybe with innate comfy magic Tali can at last pacify the Ceer into letting everyone get hot elemental dates, completing Ceera's master plan

>>45407672
French her and make her surrender whats going on

Technically speaking, the two are not mutually exclusive.

>>45408222
I'd like to point out Tali that you CAN just drop all these other things and just go with Ceera. Us in the orb can make sure everything ends well enough and I highly doubt anyone will be able to follow you to the ceer homeland.

>>45408384
yeah but

honestly ceerland sounds kinda

boring?

plus filled with magic-masters who would want us dead

>>45408370
Is this... fun for you?

>>45408222
Are Ceer upset with Ceera? Do we have to pacify the Ceer homeland? Tali, do you have enough potential trade value to get that improved mana gem from a dragon? We might need it. If we end up having to fight all the Ceer you'll need all the Comfy you can muster. I was worried about this happening.

>>45408407
Tali can handle boredom, I'm sure he's not cruel enough to take us along.

>>45408407
It sounds boring, but who knows? Perhaps it's simply suffering from its lack of a tourism board.

>>45408447

>>45408407
Well obviously he'd have to give up the orb so that we can make sure nothing bad happens on this end.
>>45408460

Wouldnt we be taken and !fixed! the moment we went into ceerland?

I mean i like being the chaos orb

If the Ceer are afraid of ceer being un-ceerified, then Tali going with Ceera ends in one of two things: Tali becomes a ceer, and thus 'dies', or Ceera continues becoming elementalified and gets disappeared to keep the secret.

Before he can discuss this with the Ceer, Holly speaks again.

"Tali. Why are you here with Ceera?"

"Oh, we've been looking for you. There's an issue with Ninety-Nine and Vendal needs you to-"

"I see. Tali. This is my daughter, Horizon. I see her a handful of the days out of the year. This is one of the few times I get to. So, tell me, is what is happening important enough to interrupt my little vacation with my only family?"

>Ceera tries to say hi to the child. The child responds by telling the freaky ceer to get away.

>>45408583
tell her about the tank, auction, and amount of money 99c has aquired

>>45408583
Ouch. Comfort Ceera before she rips this girl a new one.

>>45408583
That depends how she feels about 99c doing the occasional spot of arms dealing with WMDs.

Only seeing the kid a couple times a year explains a lot about her apparent lack of social skills. Maybe don't say the last part.

>>45408583
Holly your daughter is a shit.
I'm not impressed. More importantly, what's with the fucking attitude? As far as I'm aware Tali hasn't even started looking for Holly yet, so why is she so angry with us? Racists.

>>45408583
Stick a little comfy in Ceera to make her not be hurt, and stick some comfy in the kid to make it mellow out and not be completely racist.

>>45408583
"99c dug up an armory's worth of ancient weapons and auctioned off a tank that murders everything that can think."

>>45408583
Explain the situation calmly. Prevent Ceera from getting mad at Horizon. And tell everyone about these fantastic freaky fish facts of which this makes number five.

Catfish have over 27,000 taste buds, humans have roughly 7,000

99c found tank and auctioned it, now she has ton of cash on her and we realized this might be the part where we need an adult

>>45408583
There are literally weapons of mass destruction involved. It's important.

>>45408583
Is it? I think she might know better.

>>45408583
Wait, so Holly doesn't intend to do any actual work for the next few days.

But she didn't set up a delegate.

Which means that the students are (or were at least meant to be) basically unsupervised right now.

>>45408583
Well 99c is currently in posession of more than 49 thousand Alm and could end up sparking a war between the historical preservation society and the undine armed forces.

>>45408583
Well after we told 99c to get a detector, she found some stuff under the sand like a magitech tank, but you don't have to worry about that particular one anymore as we auctioned it off.

>>45408583
Right, I think we have established that these people are terrible. Give them nightmares, Tali. Suck the Comfy out of their dreams.

>>45408662
Stop comfying her randomly. That's not a good.

>>45408583
"I sold a self-aware anti-sentient vintage model armored fighting vehicle to the military."

>>Ceera tries to say hi to the child. The child responds by telling the freaky ceer to get away.
Now, that little Mourning Wood shit needs a spanking.

Anyway, the situation has obviously been handled with success by you. Report back to Vendal and say that Holi is busy.

>>45408735
's comfy, 's all good man.

>>45408692
Considering her past behaviour, this is not at all surprising.

How did she manage to get her position at the Academy, anyway?

>>45408662
Rampant comfy use isn't a good thing, as Fuwa learned. And it's basically mind control when used without consent, thus kinda evil in this situation, despite the good intentions.

Also, comfying the kid might result in her saying more mean things, not less. That's typically how racism goes, anyway.

>>45408840
Given what we know of the Headmistress, I'm guessing it involved Ceer homicide.

In any case, if she doesn't want to take care of it tell her we can do it for her.

>>45408692
She left Vendal in charge and basically gave everyone a vacation

The problems are started with us again

"I sold a self-aware anti-sentient vintage model armored fighting vehicle to the military."

>Holly just sighs deeply as she stands up.

"Alright just... Sorry if I seem upset. I just don't get many days like this... Thank you for reporting this, Tali. You did a good job. Would you mind watching my daughter for a moment?"

"Uhm... Sure..?"

"Thank you."

>She seems much more calm as she walks off, easily slipping back into her normal teaching mode as she leaves.

>Horizon looks at the couple.

>Ceera smiles and waves at her again.

"Hello human baby. My name is Ceera," She says.

"FIGHT ME, CEER!"

"Eh?"

"You're a Ceer! The enemy of humanity! When I get older I'm gonna be in the army to kick your butt!" Horizon puffs out her chest and tries to stand taller.

"<... Why do people spawn again? Are all children like this? I don't want to have a child, ever.>"

"What are you saying!?"

>>45408950
Tell her humanity a shit
Elves are their natural superiors.

>>45408950
Man what did the ceer do to deserve this rep of theirs?

>>45408950
You need to give that kid a max dose of comfy. She's obviously never learned manners.

>>45408950
Ok, let's set up a fighting ring. No hits to the face, below the belt, non-fatal magic use.

>>45408950
Basically she doesn't want to fight you kiddo. Say why are you so hostile?
<No, not all kids are like this, this one just dislikes you for some reason>

>>45408950
Let's grab Horizon and... leave her in the middle of nowhere.

>>45408950
Whoa, kid, it's not nice to judge people by their race. The Ceer aren't all evil and murderous like that, they're all individuals the same way as Humans are.

And if Humans treated every Ceer like an enemy, what would they think of us? We wouldn't like it if another race treated us like that. This one Ceer hasn't done anything to hurt or threaten you, so you've got no reason to be so mean to her.

>>45408950
Use comfy magic on Little Shit Mourning Wood.

>>45408950
Make her the first convert to the Cult of Comfy
KYAA! KYAA! CUTETHULHU DESU'TAGN!
PRAISE BE

>>45408950
Kid, your mother is racist against Ceers.

>>45409061
>>45409066
Don't use mind control magic on the teacher's child.

>>45408950
"She's saying that you have successfully contributed to the fall of the Ceer by single handedly convincing her to never have a kid"

>>45409053
>>45409061
>>45409038
>>45409002
>>45409066
You know nothing about children. The only way to get this shit to not be racist is to play along with her and then give her good memories.

>>45408950
Be friendly, thrpw her preconcieved notions of Ceers out the window. Why would you be enemies to such an inferior race after all? Barely worth notice, treat her like an angry puppy.

>>45408950
Tell the kid that you're with Ceera. If the kid wants to fight, she'll have to get through you first.

Then I guess you can tussle with the brat, playfully.

>>45408950
Comfy the ornery little shit. She needs a heavy dose of mellow out.
