"I need something to put this in" You say. "Y'know, when I'm not using it"
"Ya mean... a sheath?" She asks. "Oh, sweetie. Ya don't use a sheath fer a cutter"

You tilt your head. "A cutter?" You ask. "What's that?"
"That's what ya got there, isn't it?" She asks.

You turn to Ilica, and she seems just as confused as you are.

"Well if it ain't a cutter, then how do you use it?" The woman asks.
You click the guard open, and create your blade.

The woman eyes you for a moment, and then bursts out laughing.

"Is that normal?" You ask Ilica.
"No, what gives?" Ilica asks.
"Sorry, I just..." The woman says, as her laughter dies down and she wipes a tear from her eye. "Usin' a cutter as a mageblade... it don't even have an emitter"

"What's an emitter?" You ask.

The woman raises an eyebrow, and then starts laughing again. "Usin' a mageblade when ya don't even know what an emitter is" She says, before turning to Ilica. "Where'd ya find this one? He's a hoot"

You tilt your head.

"So what does a mageblade actually look like?" You ask.

The woman takes a breath, and turns to the boy. "Francis, we got any mageblades in stock?" She asks.
"We might. I'll go check the back" 'Francis' says. Then he heads off to the back room.

You watch the boy go, and then turn back to the woman. "What's a cutter?" You ask.

"That's an easier question" She says. "We keep those up front, since the hunters like keep em in stock"

She points you to a rack on one of the walls, where there are a bunch of thin, handleless blades sitting.

"Stick one o' those in that handle ya got, click the button to lock it in, and voila" She says. "Cutter"
"Why would you wwant to take the blade out?" You ask.

"They start out sharper than my grandma's glare, but they get dull faster than her wits" She says. "Bless 'er soul, and may she rest in peace. That's why you keep a few spares. Good for loppin' the limbs off'a beasts, but only good for a couple'a chops"

"Oh" You say. "So what's a hoot?"
"Honestly Yuu..." Ilica says.

The woman starts laughing again.

>[1/2]

While the woman is still laughing, the boy comes back. "Sorry sir. No mageblades in stock" He says.
"Aww..." You say.

"I wouldn't worry about it, kid. You seem to have a handle on that handle" She says. "You get good at usin' that, and when you get a real mageblade it'll be like night an' day"

"How?" You ask.
"Well... Y'know how swordsmen'll train with dowels that're twice the weight of their sword, so when they pick up the actual sword it's light as a feather?" She asks.

"I did not know that" You say.
She chuckles. "Well it's like that" She says. "Get used to usin' that thing, and when you get a proper blade with an emitter an' all, you'll be that much better"

>Where could I find a real mageblade?

>Could I put an emitter on this?

>>46734230
>>So... sheaths and arrows?

>Where could I find a real mageblade?
so if I am getting this right, we are using the equivilent of a battery with no focusing or control and we can STILL do crazy stuff. The hell happens when we get a good mageblade?

"So... sheaths and arrows?" You say, trying to get things back on track.
"Yes! Sorry, dear. I do get sidetracked sometimes" The woman says. "You'll be wantin' hand crossbow bolts... and maybe a bit for that instead of a sheath..."

" A bit?" You ask.
"I think I've got one in the back. Why don't I go find that, while francis here figures out your bolts" She says, slapping the boy on the back. She hits pretty hard, even though you don't think she meant to...

The woman then heads back, while the boy coughs from being hit so hard.

"Are... you okay?" Ilica asks.
"I'm fine" He says. "Between her and my sister, I'm used to it"
"Sounds rough" You say.
"Feels rougher" He replies. "The bolts you're lookin' for should be over here"

Francis steps out from behind the counter, and heads to the wall opposite the one with the cutter blades.

On this wall, there are tall containers full of arrows held sideways. Each one has a slot on the bottom that you can take the arrows out of.

"How many do you want?" He asks.
"How many you got?" Ilica replies.
"How many do you have coin for?" He says.

Ilica checks the pouch Derrick gave the two of you. "How much per arrow?" She asks.

...

This could take a while.

>cont.

While Ilica is still haggling with Francis, the horse-woman comes back.

...

You should really find out her name, or at find out what they call horse women. You can't keep calling her 'horse woman' forever.

...

Unless that's what they call horse women. But that would be silly.

"You'll be wantin this" She says, holding out a bunch of leather straps.
"What is it?" You ask.
"Well, this hooks onto yer belt, this goes around your leg..." She says, pointing out the different straps. "And then you close the guards onto this metal bit so it stays put. Then when you want to get it off, you just pop it back open"

"Neat" You say. "How much?"

Francis sighs.

"Tell you what. I'll give ya's a deal, since I haven't laughed like that fer a while" She says. "60 arrows at cost, and I throw in this thing free o' charge"

You turn to Ilica since you haven't been paying attention, and therefore do not know if that's a deal or not.

"Deal" Ilica says.

Ilica and Francis head back to the counter to work out payment, leaving you with the horse woman...

"Where could I find a real mageblade?" You ask.
"Probably the town's armory, where they keep the stone" She says.

"I looked there. Someone stole it" You say.
"Well that's too bad" She says. "Other'n that, I don't think there's another one here"

Dang... maybe you should've given that guy the spear. Then he wouldn't have stolen the only mageblade in town.

Ah well...

"I hear there's some big artist who uses one in Bell's Run, so you'd have more luck if you went there" She says.
"The Monkey Queen" You say.
"Ah, so ya've heard of 'er?" She asks.
"Stella told me about it" You say.

The woman smiles. "Friends with the guild rabbit, then?" She asks.
You nod.
"That's a good place to be" She says. "If yer a friend o' the guild, you won't have much trouble finding help when ya need it"

That's good to know.

"Alright, we're all finished here. Ready to go?" Ilica asks. She has the leather thing, as well as a box of arrows, and a quiver for them.

"Yeah" You say, as you turn to thank the horse lady... Okay, now you have to ask. "What's your name?"
The horse lady laughs. "Meredith" She says. "And you?"
"Yuu" You say.
"Sounds southern" She says.
"He got it from a southerner" Ilica says.

Meredith nods.

>Anything else?

"It was nice meeting you Meredith"

"Come on, Yuu. Derrick's probably waiting for us" Ilica says.
"What about Emi?" You ask.
"I'm fine with making her wait" Ilica says. "But let's go"

You nod, then turn to Meredith. "It was nice meeting you!" You say.
"Likewise, Yuu" Meredith says. "You kids wouldn't happen tobe headed for Locke, would ya?"
"Uhh..." Ilica says.

"Yes" You say.

Ilica pulls you aside. "Yuu! You can't just tell people-"
"Bunch o' rebels, then huh?" Meredith asks.

"Is that bad?" You ask.

Meredith fixes you with an intense stare, then laughs. "I'm only pullin' yer leg" She says.
Ilica giggles nervously. "Heh heh... yeah" She says.

"If you see my daughter there, tell 'er that 'er mum said to get a damn husband already" She says. "I ain't livin' forever, and I want some grandkids before I go"

"Okay" You say. "How will we recognize her?"
"Oh, you'll know 'er when ya see 'er" Meredith says. "Off you go now. Best not to keep yer friends waiting"
"Kay" You say. "Bye!"

"Yep. Good luck out there" Meredith says.

>cont.

As soon as you're outside the shop, Ilica pulls you in close.

"Little tip" She says. "When someone asks if we're going to Locke, the answer is no"
"Why?" You ask.
"Because I am not getting arrested and thrown back into that prison" She says. "Which is where we'd be going if that woman hadn't been sympathetic"

"Oh" You say.
"Or she could be informing the guard about us right now..." Ilica says. "Either way, we need to go"

You and Ilica walk quickly over to the vehicle lot, where Emi and Derrick are waiting.

"You guys find what you need?" Derrick asks.
"Yeah" Ilica says. "And Yuu almost got us all arrested"

"What did he do?" Emi asks.
"Told the shopkeep that we were headed to Locke" Ilica says. "Luckily she has a dauther there... or something"

"What did she look like?" Derrick asks.
"Horse lady" You say.
"Centaur" Ilica corrects you.
"Yes. That" You say.

"Oh..." Derrick says.

"Do you know her?" You ask.
"I might..." He says, holding a hand to his chest. "If I'm right, then you probably don't want to get behind her"
"Why?" You ask.
"She kicks. Hard" He says. "You guys ready to go?"

"Yeah, the sooner we're out of here the better" Ilica says. "Are we stocked?"
"We're stocked" Derrick says. "Should have enough in here to last us all the way to Locke"
"Awesome" Ilica says. "No more skipping breakfast"

"Yeah... sorry about that guys" Derrick says.
"It wasn't so bad" You say.
"Not as good as it should've been though" Derrick says.

"Less talk, more walk-... err... drive" Ilica says.
"Yes, yes" Derrick says. "Get in, and let's get going"

"Who's driving, you or me?" Ilica asks.
"Me" Derrick says. "If those raiders show up again, I want you to be shooting at them"
"Gotcha" Ilica says.

You and Ilica get into the cart, and Emi follows you in. Derrick sits down in the front, and once the door is closed, the cart starts to move...

Once you're in motion, you-

>Ride up front with Derrick

You stand up and head out the front door of the cart.

"Where are you going?" Emi asks.
"Up top" You say. "I wanna keep lookout"
"Good idea" Ilica says. "I'll join you. That way we've got more covered"

You and Ilica swing yourselves up to the top of the cart, though Ilica does it with more grace than you do.

"Oh, here" She says once you're both up, as she tosses you the leather thing you got from Meredith. "Put this on"

You take the thing, and examine it. "How?" You ask.
"That bit goes on your belt, that bot goes around your leg" Ilica says. "Simple"
"I don't have a belt" You say.

Ilica sighs, and bops you on the head. "That is something you should've said earlier" She says. "How do your pants stay up without a belt?"
"They fit" You say.
"They just... fit?" She asks. "How do you get them off?"
"I undo this button, and then pull down this zipper" You say.
"This... what?" Ilica asks. "What's a zipper?"

"This thing" You say, pointing to he zipper over your groin.
"I don't think I've ever seen that before..." Ilica says. "How does it work?"

"It works like this" You say, pulling the zipper up and down.
"So... the little thing with the tag opens it and closes it?" She asks.
"Yes" You say. "Want to take a closer look?

Ilica bops your head.

"Where did you get those?" She asks.
"I dunno. They were on me when I woke up in the cave" You say.

"Weird..." She says.
"How so?" You ask.

"Well, not weird... just... I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before" She says.
"I have" You say.
"You have?" She asks.
"Yeah" You say, pointing to your zipper. "Right here"

Ilica bops you on the head.

"Ow" You say.
"Derrick. Make a stop before we go out. Yuu needs a belt" Ilica says.

Once you have a belt, the cart starts moving again.

"There. Happy?" Ilica asks.
"Yes" You say. "Now I can put this thing on"

"You kow how it's done" Ilica says.

Okay. So belt goes through belt loops, but before putting it through the last one, it goes through the loops on the handle holder...

Then these straps go around your leg, tight enough to hold it in but not tight enough to cut the blood to your legs...

And there!

"Is this right?" You ask
"Looks right" Ilica says. "Does it work?"

You clip your blade to the little metal bit sticking out, and it holds tight. Then you look up at Ilica and smile.

"Congratulations" She says. "I didn't think you'd be able to get that on there on your own"
"Why not?" You ask.

Ilica looks surprised, but then she smiles and ruffles your hair. "I guess you're not THAT stupid..." She says.
You tilt your head.

"... most of the time" She says.

"You guys ready up there? We're leaving the town now" Derrick says.
"Ready" Ilica says.

I'll concede that one truly terrible thing about it is that the QM tends to disappear for ludicrously long hiatuses.

I think it's been about 2-3 months, since his last thread.

You keep your eyes peeled, and Ilica does the same. You see her ears flicking about trying to pick up sounds as well.

...

A while passes without you or Ilica seeing anything.

"We should've brought card... or dice or something" Ilica says. "Hey Derrick, think we're out of danger yet?"
"Soon... probably" He says. "It depends on how far they're ranging from Sherton"

"Anything we should be looking for?" You ask.
"Scouts" He says. "If you only see one... make sure they don't get away. If you can"

"I hate to say this, but I don't think I've got that kind of aim" Ilica says.
"Just do your best" He says. "They can't come get us if they don't know where we are"

Ilica loads her crossbow, and looks around. "I don't hear anything" She says.

You look around. There's no one around you. Not even hidden in the bushes. You haven't seen anyone since you left.

Turning back to Derrick, you finally spot something.

"Up ahead" You say.
"Where? I don't see it?" Ilica asks.
"What do you see?" Derrick asks.
"People" You say. "I think..."
"How many?" Derrick asks.
"6... 7, maybe 8?" You say.

"Shit..." Derrick says.
"Think it's them?" Ilica asks.
"Yeah... probably waiting for us" He says. "Or just waiting for anyone to pass by"
"Can we break through?" Ilica asks.

"We can try..." Derrick says.

"Can we make a smokescreen?" You ask.
"How?" Ilica asks.
"Steam" You say. "Can Emi make steam?'

"I don't think so..." Emi says.
"What if Derrick helps?" You ask.

Emi slithers up into the front seat, leaving most of her tail in the passenger compartment.

Ilica also moves down, to keep her hand on the power control for the cart so it keeps moving.

Then Emi and Derrick both hold up their hands.

As you approach the group of riders, you create your blade and start to lengthen it. In Emi's hand, a ball of water appears. In Derrick's hand, a ball of fire.

They put the 2 together when you're almost to the raiders. At this distance you can see that they're probably the same guys you ran into yesterday. As the balls of fire and water touch, they explode into steam.

Even though your vision is fogged, you can still see the riders. You wind up your arm, and swing.

The riders that see it coming manage to dive out of the way, the ones that don't get cut... not badly, but they do get cut. Your blade isn't sharp enough to do much real damage.

The cart hits a bump as you pass the riders, and you have to hang on to the edge so you don't fall off.

"Did we just run someone over?" Emi asks.
"Who cares?" Ilica asks.

Point being, this is a slightly sharp magic stick hitting armor from a middling speed wagon without the weight of the horse behind it since it was a slice not a stab.

>>46739103
>weight not behind it because slice not stab
ayy lmao no
we are clearly wielding the weapon equivalent of a light breeze and should consider suicide

>>46739154
We have been told our weapon is a hunk of junk, and that a propper one would be more useful, vastly so.

>>46739103
This. Theres a difference in force involved between a lance, secoured and focused to a point, hitting something thats also moving towards it, and us hitting a bunch of guys at ones with a long thing weapon in a cutting motion as theyre standing still. It being distrubted differently and is a lot more pread out alongside there just not ebing as much of it.

>>46739283
Also fully possible were just not usingit correctly. We already know were not even using a full actual weapon, the thing isnt even a mageblade and we didnt get the cutter part so Im not sure what everyone is expecting.

>>46739283
yes, with a real one. We are currently wielding the equivalent of a training sword and not only doing crazy stuff, but actually cutting enemies. With something to focus it and a cutter, we would have likely killed them.

>>46739335
>>46739230
Just hit with the realization that we've been fighting with the equivalent of the blade-less HILT of a sword.

"Are they chasing us?" Derrick asks.

You look back through the steam. "No" You say. "Not yet, anyway"
"Good. Ilica, you can let go off that now. We'll keep this speed up for another little while" He says.

"You sure?" Emi asks.
"Yeah, the road stays straight for another little while" Derrick says. "I want to get some distance so we can stop later and make sure that bump didn't break anything"

"I don't think that was a bump..." Ilica says.
"It doesn't matter what it was" Derrick says. "This is our only transport, I'd like to keep it in one piece"

You stay on the roof and watch the rear until you can no longer see the raiders.

"I think we're clear" You say. "It doesn't look like they're chasing us"
"I think that was probably enough to tell them to go find easier prey" Ilica says. "Raiders can be timid like that. Give them a bite, and they tend to back right off"

"That's because there will be easier prey" Derrick says. "Not every cart going through this road will have bite"

...

"Derrick, we're not going back to finish those guys off" Ilica says.
"No, I know" He says. "Getting to Locke and meeting Altea is the important thing. Maybe when this country is done fighting itself, we can find some people to fight raiders like those..."

You stick your head over the front of the cart, so you're looking down on Derrick and Ilica. "I need to see the Monkey Queen in Bell's Run" You say.

"The... Monkey Queen?" Derrick asks.
"Oh yeah" Ilica says. "That's a show that his girlfriend told hm about. The Monkey Queen is supposed to be a pretty good mageblade artist"

"Oh" Derrick says. "Alright then. You know where it is?"
"No. I have to go meet Hella and say hello" You say. "For Stella"
"Hella is one of the guild rabbits then?" Derrick asks.

"Stella's sister" You say.
"Okay. And Hella knows where to see the Monkey Queen?" Derrick asks.
"She's supposed to take me to meet her" You say. "They're friends"

"Sounds like someone's been busy" Emi says. "Only been around for a few days and already he's got connections"
"He has a girlfriend who has connections" Ilica says. "That's not the same thing"

"How so?" You ask.
Ilica reaches up and pinches your cheek. "Because if Yuu breaks poor Stella's heart, then all those connections are gone" She says.

You frown. "I couldn't break her heart!" You say. "I wouldn't hurt anyone like that... nevermind Stella"
"Not like that, you nimrod" Ilica says. "It's a figure of speech. You'd be making her sad, not killing her"

"Oh" You say. "Well I don't think I'd do that either"
"Don't say that too soon, Yuu" Derrick says. "You'd be surprised at what can set a woman off"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ilica asks.

"I see" You say.
"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Ilica asks.

Derrick chuckles. "Well, at the very least Stella seems to be strong spirited" He says. "Just don't do anything spectacularly stupid, and you should be fine"

Ilica bursts out laughing.

"What's so funny?" You ask.

Ilica stops laughing, looks at you, and then laughs even harder.

Get out.

After a few minutes of Ilica not telling you what was so funny, you decide to lay back on the roof.

The air is kinda cool, but the sun is nice and warm. You think Emi might like it up here, but Ilica said that the cart would be too top heavy.

Then Emi threatened to bite Ilica, and Ilica took it back. But Emi isn't up here, so maybe Ilica was right.

You wouldn't say that out loud though. You don't feel like finding out what kind of venom Emi has the hard way...

"When will we reach Bell's Run?" You ask.
"Late afternoon, I would hope" Derrick says. "It's a shorter trip than the one to Contique"

"Is it lunchtime yet?" You ask.
"No" Ilica says.
"Can it be time for second breakfast then?" You ask.
"What the hell is second breakfast?" Ilica asks.
"It's like breakfast... again" You say.

"No" Ilica says. "If you're bored, then find something to do"

"Fine..." You say.

You guess you'll-

-practice for now.

You unclip your blade from its bit, and hold it up in front of you. It's weird to think that you've been using this wrong the whole tiime... but it's been working for you, so who cares?

You just have to get good enough that it won't matter. But to that... you have a long way to go.

You create your blade. When you make it, it's sharp and tight. Definitely not as sharp or as tight as it could be, though. You're also not all that good at shaping it.

But since you can only practice one thing at a time, you'll do-

>(0) Shaping

>(1) Sharpness

>(1) Density


These are the 3 stats that will affect your mageblade performance. The number shows how well you're doing in each.

Shaping is how well and how easily Yuu can change his mageblade's form.

Sharpness is obvious.

Density will determine what you can and can't successfully hit/block with the mageblade. Too low, and it'll break when blocking, or hitting armor

lets see if we can get a good focus roll anyway. cant hurt to try and get that 95+

You focus on the blade, and try to make it bend.

It bends, but it's difficult to get a hold of. Once you've bent it out of shape, you find that it's difficult to get it to be straight again without turning it off and on again...

But you can bend it with relative ease, it's just unbending it that's the porblem.

Next, you try lengthening it. You feel like it was easier earlier today than it was yesterday.

...

Okay, maybe not. The blade extends much more slowly than it did earlier. You find yourself pushing just to get it to go out a few inches, where earlier today you didn't feel like it took any effort at all.

Which is strange. You don't feel much different, so why would your blade be acting differently?

You take a breath, and let your blade dissipate. It's your focus.

For some reason you're distracted. Even though you're trying to put all of your attention on your blade, some niggling little thought is dragging it away.

You pick up your hat and put it on, pulling it down over your eyes so you can block out your surroundings and think. If you can figure out what's distracting you, maybe you can put it away and actually get something done...

It has to be-

-Ilica. For whatever reason, she's constantly licking herself.

You look over the front of the cart, and even now she's licking her paws.

She can't be cleaning herself, since she takes actual baths. So what is she doing?

...

What if...

What if she's delicious?

You remember hearing one time that pancakes are delicious, light, and fluffy. Ilica is light and fluffy. What if she tastes like pancakes?

...

You lean a little further over the edge, closer to Ilica's head.

There is only one way to find out.

We're licking a catgirl anon. It's happening.

At this point I'm wondering whether or not I've been suckered into playing another fetish quest again. Man, am I gullible.

>>46742833
Smiley rolled stupidly high, and now has to try explaining Yuu's sudden ineptitude with a distraction.

Namely, Ilica licking herself.

And now anons are voting on him licking her head, or asking why she does it.

"Ilica" You say.

Ilica jumps, and slowly looks up. "Y-yuu... how long have you been there?" She asks.
"Not important" You say. "Are you delicious?"

Ilica gets that dull, annoyed look that you see her with a lot. Mostly when she's talking to you.

"Do I want to know why you're asking me that?" She asks.
"Because pancakes are light and fluffy" You say. "And you're light and fluffy, so I thought you'd be delicious"

Ilica blinks a few times.

"Y'know... like pancakes" You finish.

"I did not want to know" She says. "Why were you wondering how I taste?"
"I was distracted" You say.
"By how I taste?" She asks.
"By the fact that you're always licking yourself" You say.

"I do that to keep clean" She says.
"But you take baths" You say.

"And I have to keep clean between them" Ilica says.
"Huh" You say.

You sit back on the roof. That was a disappointing mystery...

Unless she only told you that because she really is delicious, and doesn't want you to know...

...

But that's not important. With that out of the way, you can-

You hear Derrick chuckling, as Ilica lets out an annoyed sigh. Then you peek back over the edge and observe Ilica's cleaning method.

She licks her paw a few times, and then sweeps it back through her hair. She does this several times. If that's how she stays clean... maybe you should do it too?

But then, you don't see Derrick or Emi doing anything like that...

"Does everyone clean themselves like that?" You ask.

Ilica jumps again, and Derrick starts to laugh.

"No, Yuu. This is a cat thing" Ilica says with a sigh.
"Oh" You say. "So if nobody else does it, why do felids do it?"
"Because my fur gets gross otherwise" Ilica says.

"Huh" You say. "It never seems gross"
"That's because I keep it clean" She says.
"That makes sense" You say.

You hang there for a moment, until your hat falls off.

"Can you pass me that?" You ask Ilica
"No" Ilica says.
"Please?" You ask again.
"Just come down and get it yourself" Ilica says.

You puff out your cheeks like Stella does when she's pretending to be mad.

"That doesn't work for you, Yuu" Ilica says.
"Aww..." You say, as you shift yourself and hop down from the top. "Not even a little?"
"Not even a little" Ilica says.

You turn to Derrick. "How much further?" You ask him.
"It's still not even lunchtime yet, Yuu" He says.

You sigh, take your hat, and head inside. You guess you could pass the time by reading the rest of those notes...

You hope that you can find some excitement soon. These trips are getting tiring...

That's all for tonight!
