>Last 'twas left off

Alicia (you!) had tracked down the half-dragon through various means to Alri, in the Almese middenlands. You approached her reasonably and fairly, explaining to her that you wanted her help and the benefit of alchemical ingredients gotten from her.

Unfortunately, she reacted in an unfair and hostile manner and with the assistance of her minotaur bodyguard, severely injured you and caused you to transform into your werewolf state in order to survive. Against whatever odds however, she had a cruel change of heart and more or less forced you into her service.

>Currently you've traveled with her to the capitol, where she plans to continue living her life. She's allowed you to live in her house though which she barely uses, and is supplying you with the sorts of ingredients you need. As of yet though, you haven't gotten an important factor to yours and others' safety, a containment suit. What do you want to do?

>I'm somewhat surprised OP took that name.

I felt it was more representative than Cast Out, as much as I (and I imagine others) may have liked. And indeed, if the quest takes on a particular change of tone or pace, the title can change again.

I think for safeties sake though, for archiving purposes it can continue to, and always go under, the name of Cast Out! Quest.

>After reading all this.
Damn the salt is serious.

We need to get a containment suit.
Ask Maggie about that when we can.

>>703221
To what salt are you referring? That of the half-dragon who fled like a spanked child? Of her foreign alchemist who you trashed in a duel? Or of her cheap-shotting minotaur who'd do better at a dairy farm than in a city, and you could probably beat in a fair fight anyway?

At any rate a containment suit seems to be the most obvious issue for now, though you might not see Mags for awhile since she went back to school at the academy. Maybe at the week's end hiatus.

>>703229
>Ask Avor to go buy one if he's in the house if not wait for her to come back

Avor might have trouble getting around the city unopposed. Well, it's not like it would be a cakewalk for you, but you can pass by better than him. At the same time, you also are fairly familiar with the capitol even if you haven't been here in some years. You wonder if your old hideout is still available, for example?

>>703258
>Fled like a spanked child
Better that then standing and fighting us.
Don't really want to be on the receiving end of any magic she might have. We don't know how powerful she is. The magic of dragons is no joke.


Let's check out our old hideout.
At nightfall obviously.

>>703258
We're not risking going outside and getting caught, we'll wait for her to come back if there's a courier service in the Capitol send her a letter telling her we need her to buy us that suit and deliver it to us
Write that as kind as possible

>>703274
>>703272
Conflict!

Do you want to risk going out or not? Certainly there is a danger, but then the capitol is a big place and you're not unfamiliar with it, and you're used to/have the skills to avoid being caught.

>>703284
Voting to not risk it

>>703284
I guess we can stay until we get the contamination suit.
We'll have to leave eventually though.

>>703292
>>703287
That's fair that you'd not want to go out, simply not worth the risk. However how are you to get the suit? You know places that could make something to your specification to keep you from possibly infecting people, but if you can't go out you can't go to have them made.

You suppose you could send one of Maggy's servants, but do any of them know the capitol well? The fellow named Julien seems like the best bet, since the young street urchin boy ___? doesn't seem the sort to be able to properly find and obtain a special item like this for you. Either way the choice is yours.

>>703309
>Servant
For some reason I feel like It'll like Alicia even less after this session
(Is the whole thread dedicated to her or just this session?)
Gonna have to slowly change her personality.


Anyways Julien seems the way to go.

>>703309
Supporting Julien

>>703315
Just this session. And of course while playing as Mags you can switch to Alicia if you want or need to for short periods at a time, but that's always by choice.

>>703320
So the next day when you manage to grab his attention, you ask Julien if he can obtain for you an outfit matching the specifications you wrote down for him. You give him a recommendation or two based on your past experience, but he thinks he knows a place that would work and have it done quick.

So he goes off to take care of that, you've got a full day ahead of you in the house you imagine, if you aren't going out. The little lizard, Avor is there with you since he can't well leave, and the goblin lad Rafe is there from time to time though he likes to go out now and seems quite amazed and curious about the city.

And of course the urchin boy, who you learn works for a duke in his household, as part of some sort of long running scam to steal from him.

>What do you want to do?

>>703334
Do we have everything we need for alchemy?
If so begin alchemy R&D.

Chat with Avor while we do it.

>>703343
This and ask how is his Tail doing

>>703343
You don't have *everything* you would like, and you lost everything you'd had, when you transformed in Alri to escape. Maybe you can get some of the missing things you'd like later, but currently you have enough to work with at least.

So what would you like to experiment with then, alchemically? The ingredients of the half-dragon amaze you in their potential, and from what you understand she'll only become more powerful. Turning lead into gold seems like something that would pale in comparison, if you could get a scale of hers were she to become more a dragon.

>>703355
Maybe we should start looking into a cure for our lycanthropy?
If we don't have something for recording stuff we should have someone fetch us a journal.

>>703355
Make sure the equipment we have works as intended and make some test potions like the cushion one from the inn

>>703363
A cure is the thing you've always wanted most, but it's always eluded you. It's such a complex matter though, maybe it best that you get used to working with these dragonic ingredients first?

You can find a journal in the house no problem though, Mags isn't one for decorating, nor does she have taste, but she at least gets useful things for the place.

>>703368
You figure you can start to test out potions and droughts you're familiar with, but using ingredients from Mags in addition.

>Feel free to roll, and maybe if there was a specific type of potion effect you had in mind? Similar to magic weaving for Mags, Alicia is a skilled enough alchemist that she can brew wildly creative or outlandish potions and elixirs.

In the meantime you converse with Avor who's taken to running and climbing all around the house, but when you start to work he takes interest. He wants to know what you're doing obviously, and wants to know why you don't go outside? You ask about his tail, he says by now the scar is all that remains from where it was cut off by the foreigners for his involvement in Maggy's silk business, but he looks forward to you making a potion for him which could regrow it.

Flight might be a bit much, unless you're really willing to devote a long period of time to it, but something like a lower pull towards the earth so you could say, jump over a house, is quite possible.

That's your main benefit that puts you above most other alchemists, you learned through very hard experiences the skills needed to brew potions on the fly and in a very short amount of time.

>>703418
>91

Regrowing a tail? With a dragon ingredient, a hair belonging to Mags? Easy peasy, you have it brewed in some tens of minutes. You give it to Avor to drink as a surge runs up his body and he goes stiff as a board, before falling over unconcious. He'll be out for awhile, but once he wakes up he's going to have the beginnings of a tail, to eventually grow to its original length.

As for decorating, what did you have in mind? Anything is better than Mags, but is your taste any good? The house is three stories, not including the attic and the lower level/boat dock to the river. Generally though she hasn't furnished the place beyond her room, and it's pretty sparse. You get the feeling she probably came from a humble background, not used to

>>703485
>>703491
Well it's pretty ostentatious, and expensive, but it seems like it would look good to you. Next time you see Mags you can suggest she spruce up the place. At least it would make living here easier for you.

Which reminds you, what's your living arrangement? There's only three bedrooms in the house, one of them being Maggy's, so you're going to have to share a room with someone. Maybe best for it to be Avor, since you can't infect him so the risk of living closely is reduced, but then sharing a room with Julien would keep it split, humans and non-humans.

>>703517
Avor seems like the safest choice, let's stay with him

Rolled 90, 58 = 148 (2d100)

>>703407
can I suggest trying to use the ingredient to create a smoke bomb and volatile, incendiary chemical bomb?
we could make one and test it out of town later, and store the explosive one in water down in the basement just in case.

>>703517
Maggy might not like it if we accidentally infect someone. better be safe than make trouble.

>>703561
>90

You've got enough ingredients from her to make another good batch of potions. You also understand that she had an agreement with Aea to show up each day and give spit for this purpose, you'll probably want to get something like that going for your use now.

But you make a smoke bomb you feel could be immensely powerful, and a pretty good flaming chemical bomb though not as much. You'd love to see what they're capable of though, compared to your normal creations of them.

>As for Alicia, for her alchemy skill the main determinant will be how much time she spends making potions. She's uniquely able to brew things on the fly, though it can go wrong for her, as evidenced by the many burns and scars across her body. As such, when making potions with her from now on, go ahead and specify how fast you want to create each potion or drought, and this will affect the chance that things could go well, or badly in their creation. A potion which might take Aea a week at least, Alicia can make in under a minute, but her rushed methods and the volatility of the potion, will make for a greater chance of mishap than if she took longer.

>>703531
For the purposes of safety, you decide to room with Avor, since both Rafe and Julien could possibly become infected by accident from you.

That evening Julien is going out to purchase various foodstuffs to stock the pantry with, something which is long overdue. Is there anything you're keen on?

>Personally you like meat, the more raw the better, but that's not exactly something you can keep from spoiling easily. Unless maybe you get creative?

>>703604
Can we make some food conservatives? And I feel like we should start getting used to cooked meat if our food starts to spoil before we can eat it

Also, later op, gotta sleep

>>703604
then I suggest that we should take as MUCH time as possible with MAXIMUM precaution.
at least, while we're in the capital. don't want to blow up maggy's house or anything.
unless we're outside, even then it should be slowed down a bit more than our previous standard. we have a good source of ingredients now and unless situation calls for it, we don't have to rush it. rushing won't help in leaving us time to learn everything coming from our experiments!

>Is there anything you're keen on?
Cured meat&bread sounds good. Salty, sure. But lasts long enough and doesn't stand out much than raw meat. also some variety of veggies along with oranges for all of us. Let's at least fill this place up with decent foodstuff.
Julien is going to stock up with a decent amount of everything right?

Also, from now on, we need to be extra careful in everything that might be seen as odd. Only sticking to average stuff. Nothing fancy. we should only stick to those, or maybe something above-average, something that may be considered a luxury rather that very weird thing to buy.
I'm sure raw meat is sold and is being used widely but I just don't want to take chances.
Being careful saved us before, continue doing that.

>>703630
There's the usual methods like salting stuff and keeping it sealed or in honey. But Alicia is capable of some pretty impressive feats of alchemy, if you wanted to do something creative like creating ice and whatnot.

>>703639
You can take it slow then, just that the possibility is, she can make potions at blinding speed if she needs to. Taking it safe, would take her anywhere from a few hours to a day depending on the potion, and some top tier advanced ones a week. Alicia is a quick learner though so there's never a risk of her learning something improperly due to haste.

As for food, Julien was going to get the basics, if you want things more exotic like fruits it would need to be up to Alicia to do that buying herself. You keep a note though to be careful, but sometimes it might be hard, particularly as your instincts rise and the beast within stirs. Something also you need to keep track of, the lunar cycle. Unlike a cursed werewolf, you aren't forced to change by the moonlight, but clear nights like it get your instincts going and the urge to hunt and run through the woods rises. That, and of course rising activity of normal wolves, their presence can get you going. Normally in town that's not an issue, but if you start to hear their howling, it can drive you to transform.

>>703673
Can we make a noise blocking potion to coat the walls in to prevent any howling from getting in?

Also, is there a way to control our transformation and stop it while already transforming?

>>703673
>But Alicia is capable of some pretty impressive feats of alchemy, if you wanted to do something creative like creating ice and whatnot.
>Taking it safe, would take her anywhere from a few hours to a day depending on the potion, and some top tier advanced ones a week.
this gives me an idea. we begin researching for a chemical and/or procedure that can be used to supercool objects for preservation.

on the top of my head, a portable, appliable version would be supercompressing a liquid(which is safe to eat or not depending on what it's going to be used on) that traps heat rapidly and evaporates, and making a container that can apply these in. these could be useful for preserving things on field for a short time.

a more permanent version could utilize the same procedure, but the reactions would be contained inside a container. that way we would be able to create a supercooled storage to store foodstuffs in. way more preservative than just storing things in a cooled place. tightly sealed containment using some kind of material made by alchemy could be a bonus.

and the final step would be to figure out a way to make these products with more mundane and commonly found materials, a loss of efficiency might be needed but if it cuts down the costs then it can be used as surplus equipment and would be more popular if it's performance is still in working parameters.

the best part is that we would be supplying the fuel for these things, providing us a steady stream of income(but would require the previous step of using mundane chemical/materials to produce cooling fuel to manage the demand). also we can store fresh meat for our needs!

another potion that could be useful is invisibility. not meant for mass production. using the newly accessible high quality material, this might be very much possible. take as long as possible, with exceptional care, and memo down anything interesting, like always, but with new enthusiasm. these might really help in a pinch when used with smokebombs if successful!

>That, and of course rising activity of normal wolves, their presence can get you going. Normally in town that's not an issue, but if you start to hear their howling, it can drive you to transform.

we should start modifying the basement with more sealants. a closeable door in the basement docks, and a soundtight trapdoor using whatever material we can make that we know that absorbs sounds well.

>>703708
>and making a container that can apply these in.
*that can contain these in and apply whenever needed
I fumbled.

also should I roll for the ideas, or should I wait until we get ready to start off properly?

>>703673
Also, we should talk to Maggie about welding some shackles into the wall in the basement to strap ourselves in in case we start to turn, we cant be running around the Capitol as a werewolf that would just bring in trouble for everyone

>>703719
yup. we don't want to make problems for maggie.
this is our second chance we may never have again. we need every measure to keep it. by getting out of trouble and not showing.

>>703688
Yeah you could probably whip something up like that, to keep the sound out. Maybe easier just to have enchanted earmuffs or something though if you need them.

As per the disease, you can transform whenever you want to, if you rile yourself up or get emotional enough. Once it starts though you can't stop it, at least not safely, you'd end up like partially transformed and possibly kill yourself as a result. As for transforming against your will, as long as you keep your instincts and feelings in check it shouldn't be a problem, and of course keeping removed of certain triggers, the most obvious being wolves. There's other things like feeling in danger, or feeling fear, which can be sharp and sudden reasons for your body to transform against your will, but with careful management and self control you can repress this (though it may not work if the fear is legitimate and can't be pushed down).

The only time you can't stop it no matter what, is if you get seriously injured to the point where you would only survive if you transformed. Like when Tora butted you through the building, a normal person would have died, so to survive your body transformed on it's own.

>>703708
Yeah that's definitely something you can do, and not even needing ingredients from Mags to do it. Right now you could easily make ice, but some sort of alchemical cooling agent, with time and experimentation you could come up with something useful for that purpose.

As for invisibility, that would be a top tier potion, and could be dangerous. Like with magic, potions which change your appearance can either function badly, or even be permanent. You know of a case where an unfortunate alchemist was rendered permanently invisible from trying to cover up scarring.

As for the basement, as long as you're not down there it shouldn't be a problem. Certainly it can't transmit sound past the first floor, so as long as you're not like, in the kitchen helping make dinner one night and wolves are outside howling, you shouldn't be at risk.

>>703713
This day's experimenting went by with the things you made, so you can roll but they'll be held in waiting for the next time you experiment, probably tomorrow.

>>703719
The problem with shackles down in the basement, is that the transforming process happens fast. If you start to shift and can't keep it down, you're not going to be able to make it to the basement in time and shackle yourself up. Probably a smarter thing to do you figure, is to just have the doors to each room reinforced and strong locks put on them. That way wherever you are in the house, if you start to shift, you can make that room a temporary prison. None of this of course, will make any difference if you start to shift while out in public though, or outside in general.

You have to remember though, that even as a werewolf, you've done enough experimenting on yourself and trying to stop it, that you still retain some clarity, depending on the presence of triggers.

>>703751
>As per the disease, you can transform whenever you want to, if you rile yourself up or get emotional enough.
>(and more)
you know, I just realized something to prevent transformations being a problem in the capital.
sedatives. weaker and powerful ones.
now that we have a stable place to live in, we'll be safe if we stay in that place, even if we're knocked out by our own drugs. we can create a potion/injector that we can carry around in the house and pop the weaker one in whenever we feel agitated. during fool moon we can stay in the basement and experiment, and use the powerful one to knock ourselves out if we start to feel it.

>As for invisibility, that would be a top tier potion, and could be dangerous.
so, again, we should be taking our plenty time to make sure everything goes right. test it on rats. guard every procedure. set it up so that it spills away to the lake if it has a potential to go critical and volatile. whatever our life experience taught us, or whatever we know, anything that can make it safe!
oh, and we should ask maggie if she can copy a 'alchemy 101/beginner' guide book from the library. we might be missing out on something that all the rich and noble guys started with, and maybe we could find some procedure that could help.

>>703775
Sedatives is actually a really good idea. Addiction could become a problem, but in theory it should work.

As for the invisibility, yes as long as you take your time then, you should be able to do it relatively safely. You wouldn't have a shortage of time or ingredients to use.

It does seem like making use of Maggy's school's library would be a great resource, but not for anything beginner level. You yourself, were trained by a professional in alchemy.

>>703798
although it wouldn't have been a viable option for her in the past though. getting incapacitated outside, while having a brand is bad idea. also being a female. and a werewolf.

>you should be able to do it relatively safely
'relative'? oh well, considering it's experimental I guess that's the best we can go even with maximum precautions.

>yer a professional!
okay then, ignore my previous comment on that part, ask maggie to copy the useful ones instead.

>>703805
Well the joke is if they're dumb enough to try and get frisky with you, they run the risk of getting infected since you know from experience the disease can be transmitted sexually.

You can try to be as careful as possible with the invisibility and other top tier potions when you set about making them though. And when you can, you'll ask Mags for copies of the higher tier alchemy learning books and journals.

---

So a couple days later and Julien brings you your containment suit. Useful not only for preventing you from spreading the disease by accident and hiding your identity, but also a good protection against alchemical mishaps. Also it can tend to give you a presence of authority you've found.

>What do you want to do?

Feel free to specify which potions you've been working on the past couple days. If it was a top tier potion, specify which one.

>>703834
>which potions?
finding a chemical coolant that is safe for people to eat. average precaution.

preliminary planning, setup and preparations for the first part of invisibility potion down at the basement. extreme precautions. a mechanism has been prepared to dump everything into the water just in case, and can be triggered by pulling a wire that is connected to the stairs in the distance to the brewing sets.

sedatives. basement level. above average precaution with the stronger one. weaker one using conventional ingredients, and super potion using maggie ingredients.

chemical crafting to make sound ablative material. should be easy, make enough to make a sound tight trapdoor and rim for said trapdoor to prevent outer sounds from entering(or vice versa).

by the way, how spacious is the basement/dock?

>>703834
>Well the joke is if they're dumb enough to try and get frisky with you, they run the risk of getting infected since you know from experience the disease can be transmitted sexually.
>from experience
i just noticed this.
please tell me it wasn't done under threat, violence or without consent

>>703852
That's a lot of work for a couple days. I'll say the pick one large effort, and one small effort. Anything using ingredients from Mags can be the large effort (so invisibility or powerful sedative), and everything else can be a small effort.

As for the size of the basement dock, it's not that big. Coming immediately down the stairs there's a small area enough to to fit a table large enough to seat 8, as well as those 8 to seat it. Beneath the stairs is a grated hold that could store a few barrels or a prisoner you suppose. Then either side of the boat area is a walkway which two people could walk shoulder to shoulder, so could maybe store something like some barrels along either side. They both go as far as the archway, which opens to the river, and could be gated to stop the boats from being stolen or the house being broken into from this way.

>>703854
Oh no, nothing like that. Alicia transmitted the disease to her late husband via their love life, who was killed as a result of transforming, a guilt she bears. She's avoided that kind of physical intimacy ever since, at least while untransformed.

Nowadays as a known werewolf and with the brand of one, only a fool would try to get intimate with her, by force or no. And really, it's not like they could force her anyway, an experience as traumatic as that would cause her to transform.

>>703871
start up the invisibility. this is going to be a very long project. strong sedative can wait for now. if anything we could chug multiple weak ones in a pinch.

for the basement, we should store some alchemy ingredient here that's resistant to moisture. leave the grated hold empty for now.
the watergate should be closed at all times. unless it's really hard to open?

>...her late husband...
I was not expecting this feels. you should have given this to OG anon, I don't need this.

>>703871
Well shit now im a little sad

We also need to convince her of getting rid of that brand

But this is 4Chan so the point is moot.

Anyways I want to set Alicia to do some shit then switch over to Maggie.
There's some stuff that needs to be done

>>703751
>As for the basement, as long as you're not down there it shouldn't be a problem. Certainly it can't transmit sound past the first floor, so as long as you're not like, in the kitchen helping make dinner one night and wolves are outside howling, you shouldn't be at risk.
About that. I was planning on making the trapdoor soundproof so that we can hide IN the basement during the wolves howling, or at full moon.
Is the gate to the river not bery soundproof? Because if it isn't we might need to work on that. Or someone to work on it.

>>703897
Invisibility potion it is, you figure it to take a week of being careful, and experimenting.

As for the watergate, there isn't actually one. You assume there used to be, and there are fittings on the stone archway opening to the river for such a gate, but currently there is not one. Considering the house was in disrepair when Mags bought it, the previous owner might have just had the thing removed. To get a new one you'll have to see a smithy about it, have him come check out the fittings and size.

>>704148
As usual your reasons against removing the brand hold the same, that if you were to get caught for any reason, they would just brand you again to make up for the ones you branded over to cover. It's true they pose a danger, but unless you're planning on someone seeing you with your clothes off, hiding them isn't any more difficult than it ever has been for you.

>>704172
I said plague doctor suit but that's not exactly what Alicia's got on, just the closest thing I could approximately describe. Like, she's not got the beaky mask, just a basic concealing one.

>>704305
There isn't really a way you'd be able to make the watergate soundproof since it's a gate. If you're concerned about a place to hide out during times of transformation risk though, it'd probably be better to do the attic, and Alicia takes precautions like having sound-blocking headwear, stuff like that.

>>705552
So while we have Alicia focusing on invisibility potions can we check up on Maggie.
I have plans.

>>704185
Anyway so yeah, that's fine. You got Alicia settled in and a replacement for her suit so she can go about town better, as well as some duties to occupy her time with like potion making. You can return to her later to check progress, or see about other things she could do, like checking places she used to know in the capitol like her old hideout.

For now though, you resume play as Mags.

---

It's been about two weeks since you've been back in the capitol now, and are settled back into classes. It was quite hectic at first since there was not only a lot of hullabaloo about catching up with classes and what that would mean with having to have personal teaching to catch up what you missed. Fortunately Beatrice, your roommate, took notes for you and listed down the readings you would have to do and such.

One of the big issues you had to go through was an unofficial inspection to determine your potential risk to the school. It seems your dragon eyes were obviously noticeable, and caused quite a bit of concern and interest, so some of the staff wanted to evaluate if your new changes meant new risk.

Eventually though you managed to get back into the groove of things, and made it through a normal week of personal teaching and catch up study.

Literally everyone has been asking about it.

At any rate though you get the idea into your head to find Mr. Tarrasque. You have a sense of how you might find him, but do you have any specific means to do so, or ideas?

Roll upon whichever method you choose.

A whole range of expected question from, does it hurt having eyes like that, do you see things differently, can you set things on fire by looking at them. Mostly student gossip, the faculty are more academic in their curiosity.

A fair amount of people though, from what you've heard, are superstitious and think you can curse people with the evil eye if you look at them and wish it so. That's a pretty common superstition in general though, so it makes sense it would be worse for you when you eyes are that of a dragon.

At any rate you try asking around and on the grounds find Christopher, the curious fellow whom you're sort-of friends with and have helped one another academically. Since being back you've met before and talked, but this time you ask him about the guy you're after and he says he can go look.

---

You're left waiting at a bench where Vela, the big foreign girl, comes to sit and talk. She asks if you'd be interested in a seasonal feast they're throwing in the part of town where her people congregate, she's heard some rumors about you being taken to drinking so would love to have you along.

Eventually though a refined looking fellow accompanied by some other young men approaches. They don't go right up to you, but he sits on a bench across the way a little, and eventually speaks up, saying he heard you were looking for him. This would be Mr. Tarrasque, name of ___?

>What do you want to do?

We should ask them next time we go to his house

No
>Do you see things differently.
I can focus on something and see it more closely.
I can also see people's magic auras and concentrations of aether magic
>Can you set things on fire by looking at them
No but I wish.

Ask the tarasque fellow

If he would like to magic duel us.

Oh and we should definitely attend that feast with Vela.

David works, Richard seems to brave a name for him.

>>705756
Not scared, he says he just doesn't like interacting with peasants or strumpets. It leaves a bad taste for hours after, a thoroughly unpleasant experience.

Anyway, when you bring up a magic duel he just laughs but the other guys whisper. He asks how you propose to hold such an event, since they would never allow it in the school grounds.

Vela speaks up and says he'd like to have it outside, so there wouldn't be any rules or anyone to make sure it doesn't go overboard. He responds firmly and tells her that's maybe how they do things in her country, which angers her.

He says it's convenient you keep dodging the issue. Name a time and a place and he'll be there to put you back in your place. One of the guys with him laughs and says maybe they'll get to see your tits again if you try burning off your clothes like last time.

>>705898

OP do we know where Tora's house is?
We can do it there.

>>705898
What hes feeling, the usual

>>705925
Tora doesn't have a house, she's been staying in a stable since it's the only place that can fit her.

>>705972
Confidence, anticipation, some small anxiety.

>>706037
Can we have the duel outside the city limits?

>>706048
Are you asking him? You could technically have the duel anywhere you wanted. If you want to go outside the city though, that's possible yes.

>>706063
Sure.
Ask him if he's willing to have a duel outside the city limits.
Evening. (6:00 PM right?)

>>706081
This evening? And where outside the city limits, it's a big city.

>>706092
West wall.
We can meet near the gate.

>>706092
What would the school do if we killed him in the duel?

>>706102
Do you want to bring anyone with you or make any preparations?

>>706161
If they actually found out, and that it was you? That would probably be grounds for expulsion, if only because he's a noble.

>>706399
Let's wear our regular clothes when we get there.
And have Aea and Tora.
And Vela can check this out too if she wants.

>>706414
Normal clothes it is, Aea and Tora can tag along, and Vela would love to watch.

You've got a good few hours till then though, anything you want to do in the meantime?

>>706447
Let's go to our house and hang out with Alicia.
She must be lonely.

I updated the pastebin a bit, to show more recent archived threads, as well as the addition of many known characters.

>>706469
You figure to go to your house for awhile, and see how Alicia is doing. Rafe and Avor greet you warmly when you get there, Avor proudly showing off his regrown tail. You're also a little surprised to see the house has some more furnishings. Not much, but definite decorations, and the kitchen is fully stocked too! You'll have to thank Julien for that later.

When you find Alicia, she's down in the dock room, having set herself up a little alchemy lab. You notice she's replaced her containment suit, and is quite busy working away at something. When you ask her, she says it's an invisibility potion, which is both surprising and intriguing since you know trying to turn invisible with magic is very hard and also dangerous.

>Anything in particular in mind? Or just spend time chatting with her?

She asks how was your week at school, and what your plans are for the few days break you have?

>>706652
>How our week was
Fine.
Challenging some guy to a magic duel
>Ask her how she got lycanthropy.

>>706672
When you bring up a magic duel, she asks if you need any help, and tells you not to get killed. Else she have to start learning necromancy.

When you ask her about her disease, you sense she's uncomfortable and visibly stiffens. She speaks easily enough about how her father was a hunter who had some small local fame for having killed a couple dangerous monsters. One such was a female werewolf, and in revenge her mate attacked and infected Alicia while her father was out. It happened at a young age, she recalls being only seven or eight at the time, and she's been a lycanthrope ever since.

Beyond that though she doesn't seem to want to talk about her life between then and now, and you can sense a strong guilt, and regret on her.

>>706751
Wow that werewolf was a dick.
>Ask her how she learned alchemy. And who taught her.

>>706751
Aw man that sucks

>I can feel you're not comfortable around this topic so i won't press the issue, we'll talk about it when you're ready

Change subject to
>>706786

>>706786
Some small solace that her father did kill the werewolf, but he got the last laugh since she'd already contracted the disease.

>>706796
You try to change the subject to alchemy. She says she was approached during a bad time in her life by a very prominent alchemist, the best in Almace whom offered to try to help her find a cure for her disease. She learned from him over several years while he, and eventually them together worked to try to find a cure. Unfortunately in her desire and rush to find a cure, she caused an alchemical accident in which he died protecting her. She's been on run since, but always trying to improve her skills and still pursuing the cure.

You can tell it was hard for her to admit this, but she says she wanted to be honest and felt you should know if you were going to have a working relationship. She doesn't say, but you can sense she hopes you don't judge her badly for it.

>>706863
>Friend dies because of doing something poorly thought through.

>Arachne
Not judging her
100% Understand.

So how did she find us

File: Meme_reaction_image.jpg (140 KB, 469x469)

140 KB JPG

>>706863
Dayum
That's pretty sad

Thank her for being honest and pat her shoulder

>>706901
You pat her on the shoulder as a friendly gesture, but it's honestly pretty awkward since this is a painful topic for her. She at least appreciates your reaction and understanding though, and you can sense she feels a little bit better about talking on the subject with you.

>>706900
She says tracking you was actually pretty easy and she assumes she wouldn't have been the first, or is surprised she was, to find you that way. Basically all she did was follow the trail of potions sold by Aea using ingredients from you. Said potions were obviously quite strong and easy to find and follow. Eventually she last tracked you to Rea, before you left westward (towards the goblin homestead and the former kobold camp, you know) and she just guessed you'd be heading back the way of Alri in returning to the capitol. If you weren't, she'd resume tracking and eventually find you again.

That, and her natural tracking ability is obviously really good.

>>706998
>Let's chat a bit about nothing important until it's time for the duel.

>>706863
Well that's unfortunate.
From now on though, we should reccomend to take it easy. We're not on a time limit or something. This time we so it right.

>>707019
You while away the time together, eventually figuring to ask her upstairs to talk, rather than doing it in a dirty dock. At times Avor or Rafe wander in to eat something or hang around by your legs and listen in, but it's a fairly pleasant time and the duel fast approaches before you know it.

Saying your goodbyes and her wishing you luck, you make the neccessary preparations and then head out to find Aea and Tora before going to the meeting place. It's Vela after that, who is both impressed by Tora, and delighted to meet Aea who is from the same country she is. The two of them converse loudly and happily in their own language as the four of you make for the west gate. Beyond it are some outer housing and a ways past are the usual exterior encampments for folks not allowed into the city. After waiting awhile though you finally notice a carriage approach, wherein is David and his buddies, arrived for the duel. Leaning out of a carriage window, he asks where you want to do this then? Probably best not within sight of any guards or the like. His friends are rather speechless at seeing Tora.

>What do you want to do?

>>707140
Let's head further out.
Maybe in a forest clearing.

>>707153
You figure the farther the better. You might be hard-pressed to find proper forests around here, but you can probably locate some small glen off the road a ways.

Finding a suitable location, David's chums designate the area for the duel to take place in, a rough circle in as much space as you have, while he asks if you have any requested rules, or just standard procedure?

Whatever you do, Vela says not to let him choose any terms, she doesn't trust him not to find a way to handicap you.

>>707187
Ask him what's the standard procedure

>>707210
You hear one of his friends try to stifle a laugh, in the sense that he can't believe you'd ask such a stupid question.

David though quite calmly explains the typical rules for a magic duel, like agreeing to use and stick to the same magic type, keeping to the designated area, no outside help beyond intervention for physical wellbeing if the risk is severe.

The biggest rule you note though, is that it would be a turn based ordeal, basically you take turns each casting one spell, alternating back and forth. Rather than say, just casting as many spells as you want as fast as you are able.

>>707264
>Same magic type
That sounds like no fun
Maybe do away with that one
>Turn based
We can handle that.
But who goes first?
I'm fine with you going first.
You'll need all the advantages you can get.

>>707275
If you don't want to stick to the same magic type, what other magic types do you know?

>>707285
Do you mean like aether based magic?
Also I assume we can move freely around the arena regardless of turns.

Because I want us to be able to use the spells we made.

>>707297
Yes that's the kind of magic you both use, the idea being you both stick to that form of magic. Like if you also knew blood magic, but in this case agreed not to use it.

And yes you can freely move around. You shouldn't be trying to kill him though, unless like, you want to.

If everything is agreed then, he'll go first since you allowed him to.

>>707315
Ok then he can bring it.

Rolled 36 + 30 (1d100 + 30)

>>707324
Wait wut, what's the plan here?
Which spells are we going to be using that won't kill him? Since you know, it's aether

>>707335
It's spells that are cast using aether.
We got this.
Like the magic taught at school.
>>707334
What are you testing?

>>707334
Well that was shit, it didn't actually add it up. Well whatever, just assume that every roll he makes, he adds 30 to, because of his advanced magical skill. So,

>66

With a gesture, he puts up a magic barrier first.

>>707351
What happens to our clothes when we cast aether clothes?
And will anyone see us naked if we cast it?

>>707351
Also what do we get for our higher innate magic power.

And the modifier doesn't make him more accurate right?

>>707384
Are you so sure yours is higher than his?

At any rate, your magic power is represented in your ability to take the desired of three rolls. He gets a flat +30, you get three rolls to choose from. The modifier isn't intended to make him more accurate, just so that he isn't likely to fail hard.

>>707355
If you case aether clothes, they'll burn your clothes where they come into contact, so probably yes. Maybe not right away but if you move enough your clothes will get burned off by contact.

After that, if the aether clothes dispell or you lose them somehow, then anyone looking would see you naked.

Rolled 70 (1d100)

>>707437
>Desired of three rolls
That only helps when three anon are here.
Anyways.
Cast barrier I'm pretty sure it surrounds us on all sides.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>707450
Well it's your choice if you want it as like a protective bubble, or a barrier-type wall. The bubble is weaker but surrounds you, the wall is stronger but only blocks what incomes from that direction.

Your rolls of course determine other effects as well because of your magic power, so you can make a huge barrier or a really strong bubble sort of thing.

Anyway, his roll, with a gesture he spends an apparition of a charging bull at you, the effect of which will knock you off your feet if it succeeds.

>>707747
Make it a nice bubble.
(Also I'm still wondering how we will deal with the lacking the other two anons critical to pur advantage thing)

So do we have any non lethal offensive spells?

>>707778
You could just come up with spells and I'd say if that makes sense as a spell that could be learned by people.

I wouldn't want to say just look at like, a wizard spell list for D&D, but working off of a base like that could work. Like imagining spells that would make sense or are roughly equivalent to ones there.

Rolled 95 (1d100)

>>707799
Yeah just like a magic bolt in that case. If you are looking at an actual list like that, I think it'd be fair to say Mags knows up to level 3 spells. Or rather, she knows spells around that range of power, you're never actually going to be casting literal D&D spells.

>99

His spirit bull broke through your barrier just enough, and knocked you over, but just barely so, like if you lost your balance and fell over on your own.

In retaliation you cast a small magic bolt at him, which zips over and obliterates his shield, hitting him hard enough to send him tumbling in a painful heap. Climbing to his feet, he gestures again, and a thin wide layer of stone juts out next to you and then falls over onto you, intending to trap you in place.

>>708052
>52

Your magic missile flies and hits him. It's not as strong a hit as before though, but it still catches him off guard. Either way though everything about your perception starts to go dim, and you you feel the aether effect fading. First the aura will go, then the clothes.

He picks up a rock while he's at it, and makes it a null magic locus.

>>708100
How do we dispel it?
And how long will the null field last?
And does it cover the entire arena?

>>708114
You just dispell it, and have to beat his roll for it. You're not sure how long it will last, but probably more than long enough for this fight. It doesn't cover the entire area, he created around you.

At any rate though with a 32, his attempt at making the rock a locus doesn't work that well, he throws it in your direction but it doesn't improve the effect that much. He doesn't cast another spell though since that was his "turn" spell, waiting for you.

Rolled 70 (1d100)

That's close enough to his 71 that you barely manage to dispell it, and you did it in time to keep your clothes from fading, though the aura is gone. You weren't drained of enough magic though to become a magic void, so there aren't any ill effects upon the area.

Seeing your dispell effective, he puts up a barrier.

>>708215
Can we beat that?

>>708255
If you roll a 100 sure, or you can whittle away at it overtime. It's a barrier though, not a bubble, if you were able to get around it somehow.

You send a magic bolt hurtling around him, in order to hit him from the side. This does quite the trick since he had no defense there, and it looks like you really did a solid blow to him, that it's a little while before he's stable again and able to cast a spell.

With the insects he summoned, he sends a small swarm at you to nibble and distract you.

You send flying an arcing bolt of magic which hooks around the barrier again, and blasts him out of the circle. As far as you know that's a win for you, though he's not responsive. Some of his chums are checking on him, one is booing you, while the other is trying to chat up Tora.

Vela and Aea clap and shout in cheer for your victory.

Whoops, looks like I missed a bunch.
We should have brought extra clothes.
I hope we don't attract attention or faint while we go back for our clothes&shelter

You check on him and he isn't dead, just pretty beaten up. You can't really get that close because they're all weary of your glowing clothes, and if you try to approach they actually threaten you to stay back.

>What do you want to do?

>>708713
Let's ask Aea if she can get us a change of clothes.
>Weary of our glowing clothes
Wimps.

>>708732
She says you can have her clothes, but it's the choice of underwear or outerwear. Once you get closer to town, maybe you could buy some clothes from the outsiders, and then get into town again.

>>708753
See if there is a tailor or clothing store amongst the outsiders.

>>708760
You're not going to find anything like that, but you can buy clothes off them. It's only about 7pm now, what do you want to do once you get clothed and back to town? Aea and Vela suggest celebrating, which you can guess what that means.

>>708812
>Celebrate
It's alcohol time.

>>708829
Sure. Let's get them tipsy, but not too drunk. Better ask Aea if she needs to be soner for her special project.

>>708851
What special project is Aea doing?

>>708812
Wait for him to wake up, thank him for the match then go celebrate

>>708857
Ah shame, but you already moved on by now.

>>708829
>>708851
You decide to go along with Aea and Vela's plan, and even ask Tora to come along. Aea knows just the place that could suit all of you. It takes a good while to get all the way back to town to reach it, but you find yourself at a tavern which has large open front courtyard area, enough that Tora can fit in. It's a middling place so some respectable clientele at this early in the eve, though Aea says later on when the moneyed folks wander back home the place can get pretty lively. If nothing else it's furnished decently and the service is alright.

Aea and Vela order a round to begin with, and ask for something bigger to suit Tora.

>Have you anything in mind?

>>708891
Get some decent alcohol.
Like the stuff we had back home
None of the shit these dandies drink.

>>708898
You decide to get what Aea and Vela are having, which reminds Vela and asks if it's true what she's heard, some rumors about you and Aea drinking a tavern under the table together, including two soldiers?

>>708955
>Yeh damn right is true, wanna have a go?

>>708955
It's true!

>>709023
Is that a challenge?

>>709026
For Aea that's expected but she's quite surprised by you, and again says she'd love to have you along to the celebrations at the end of the month.

>>709029
Yeh damn right

>>709056
Ok then, you challenge them to another drinking competition. If you care to, roll to see if you can make it a bigger thing and involve other people. It's still early enough that you might snag some moneyed folk and even a noble perhaps.

As last time it takes some setting up, with clearing a space and drawing tables together and cleaning them up, seating for everyone and drinks. But you get it more or less ready to go, with you between Aea and Vela.

Third round, and the real drinks are coming out. Another regular patron is out, and others are showing signs of drunkenness. You however are only just starting to feel the buzz, while Aea and Vela are getting rowdy either side of you, and both are glad you're keeping up.

Next round, it's into solid drinks now. Roll!

The fourth round hits hard, as another two regular patrons are out, and the other wealthy customer is feeling it hard. Aea and Vela too, are starting to get tipsy. You though trudge on and take it without issue, starting to feel pretty good even about your chances.

Next round, now it's the hard liquor. Roll!

You don't know what happened, maybe your drink was spiked or maybe you overestimated yourself, but that one absolutely floored you. By contrast, everyone else handled theirs quite well, and now you're not so sure you can make it much longer. Certainly you can't handle another losing roll, the spinning room assures you of that.

Next round, this place doesn't have anything stronger than what it served last round so it'll be this till the end. Roll!

That's much better, you're not feeling better but everyone is feeling a lot worse. There's only one normal patron left and the noble's son, while Aea and Vela are pretty drunk now to the point of singing and holding onto each other, and so you too being between them. You keep getting splashed by spilled drinks but don't mind.

As well, eventually, you notice someone pinching you. You look around in a haze to recognize Fera, who must have wandered in at some point. She gives you words of encouragement and an excited smile, trying to explain that there's a lot of money and reputation in this if you win.

Of course you don't make sense of any of that, and your mind is drawn to the next round! Roll!

You actually manage to make it to the next round, and now it's just you, Aea and the noble's son, all of you barely hanging onto the table. Poor Vela, though hardy like Aea, isn't used to drinking this much in some time, and the other regular customer knocked his chin on the table on the way down.

The money is flying as the bets stack up, and even Aea tells you or tries to tell you that she can't make it past another round. You feel the same, until Fera grabs your attention again and gives you a kiss and wishes you good luck. A sharp pang of clarity if only for a brief moment when you let process what just happened.

Final round, roll!

Not like you can appreciate it much, but before they can bring another round, the noble's son slips off his chair and Aea passes out on the table. That leaves you the winner!

You're barely cognizant, and certainly not functioning, everything a very distant blurry haze despite all the cheering and shouting and singing and ruckus all around you. The main thing that you notice above all, is Fera holding your hand.

>What do you want to do?

Rolled 89 (1d100)

>>709319
Ask her if she can't take us and our friends somewhere somewhat safe

>>709323
>89

Yeah you're really drunk. You think you slur out something like that, she offers to lead you by the hand if you go with her. Tora moves in to stop her, but a conversation happens that you can't make out, and Tora ends up picking up Aea and Vela and carrying them away from the mess, and sitting aside with them, pulling some benches for them to lay on till they at least regain consciousness, then maybe they can move to a room.

>What do you want to do?

>>709331
I assume we're at an Inn?

>Get a room
>Thank Fera
>Kiss cheek
>Pass out on the bed

>>709331
Rest. We need to recover.

>>709336
Well it's a tavern, but there's an inn attached. You try to communicate to her that you don't want to sit around in this state, so you let her lead you to the inn portion where she gets a room. It's all a haze of course and you're barely lucid, and actually stop to go to the toilet on the way up, which she helps with within propriety sake.

Eventually though she helps you to the room and the bed, giving you a pitcher of water to drink some from. You thank her and kiss her face, then sink into the bed and the welcoming black of unconsciousness.

---

You awaken an unknown amount of time later with a splitting headache, not much more lucid, and feeling like you need to puke. She's there with you though, sitting besides in bed, maybe snoozing herself but awake when you do. She has a bucket though for you to hurl, and the pitcher ready again.

>Anything you want to do, or just go back to sleep again?

>>709357
Vomit, get some water with bread and cheese, ask Fera if she wants to cuddle then lazily pat the chunk of bed next to us and go back to sleep

>>709363
That feels a bit better you think, as you get some food (actually decent this time since the inn is more upscale) after hurling, and feeling beholden to Fera for her encouragement and getting you a room you offer to snuggle with her. She gladly accepts the chance, though you may have disappointed her when you just fall back to sleep.

---

Once again you awaken, but much longer after, feeling a fairly bad hangover but not a debilitating one like last time. You figure to get some more water to drink from the pitcher, and notice Fera at some point must have tucked you both in, with her next to you. Both clothed this time, but she's awake you can tell and asks how you're feeling, and congratulates you on winning, saying it was quite amazing to watch.

>What do you want to do?

>>709380
Asl now it went. From an outsider perspective.

>>709380
>Was it really that amazing?

>>709384
>>709613
She says it was, yes. No one thought you'd be able to make it past a couple rounds, let alone to the end and win. She was always rooting for you the moment she showed up, but watching a ton of people eventually realize what was going to happen and wanting to change their bets was crazy to watch. She thinks the tavern keeper was talking about getting a woodcut of it made to hang up on the wall of the bar even. Not to mention of course all the talk that will probably come of you winning, and the money won.

So what do you want to do now? You're still feeling under the weather, but you don't have any classes for today or tomorrow. To your guess it's probably morning, or early morning.

>>710445
We should talk to Tora.
I want to ask her some things.

>>710473
You want to get up and go find her? Fera will be pretty disappointed.

>>710623
Invite fera to come with us.
We have stories to tell anyways.

>>710623
Stay in with her for a lil bit more then go look for tora

>>710641
>>710686

Conflict! I guess would settle it, how long you want to stay in bed? She'd be content to stay in all day, and has something in mind of course, but if you've got things to do you've got things to do.

>>710855
Ask her how long does she want to stay in bed then keep cuddling, might as well laze around all day with her if we don't have any classes

A few hours.

>>710897
You're pretty sure she has a thing for you, but obviously isn't going to act upon it against your will.

>>710888
A few hours is nice to her, since all you'd been doing is sleeping. If you're awake you can reciprocate, and you wouldn't mind lazing in bed till the hangover wears off.

>>710915
Okay then let's lazy about for a few hours then find Tora.

Also we still exercising right?
How /fit/ are we right now?

>>710932
With all the recent happenings you'd not been keeping up on your fitness much, but you definitely have some definition, and when you have exercised you've noticed you're able to do so for longer and harder.

>>710915
Laze in bed with her for a few hours until the hangover wears off, ask her what does she want to do while we're on the bed

>>710950
Well she hesitantly admits that she'd want to make things physical between you, but she's not sure about your feelings on the matter and neither are you. Failing that though you could just talk intermittently.

In any case, whatever you choose to do, you could skip ahead, or switch perspective for a little while then resume. Your choice.

>>710992
>Talk intermittently
Sure
>Engage time skip of a few hours
Sure.

>>710992
I feel like Mags prefers women, remember that time with Astrea and that other time with Fera

Just talk for now

>Maybe in the future Fera

Pic related

>>711034
She actually prefers men, though by actions of the quest, there's been a few times where she's felt some strange feelings for some ladies, mainly Astrea though Fera's been farther with Mags than Astrea has. Astrea is definitely straight though.

>>711018
Anyway, you just stay in bed together and talk occasionally as the time passes. You doze off occasionally, but are eventually woken up with a kiss each time.

With the help of the pitcher of water and some food now and then, a few hours pass and you're sufficiently feeling comfy from lazing together, and feeling better from the greatly diminished hangover. You say you need to get up and have stuff to do, as expected she's disappointed but when you offer her to come with you, she considers it for a bit. Making her way to the door, she looks outside, then says sure she'd be fine tagging along.

So you tidy up after laying in bed, use toilet and otherwise get ready to go, and since you both were dressed you can head out no problem. It's a dreadful day outside, very dark and rainy, for which you heard the thunder while in bed. You look around to see Aea up and about and having breakfast, as well as Tora outside in the courtyard underneath sort of a tarp they set up for her to sit under so she doesn't get as wet.

>What do you want to do?

>>711175
Do we have a spell for repelling water?

>>711175
Is it possible to turn Astrea into a lesbian or is she too high class for that?

Have breakfast with Aea and Fera, try to get Tora in too

>>711194
Yeah you can create just a basic water barrier no problem. Still need to roll, but as long as you don't crit either way it's fine.

>>711225
As a noble lady she's expected to get married and have kids. It's not impossible that you could still attract her in that way, but you can't really expect much more than secret trysts on a rare occasion when she's taken of that kind of mood.

Anyway though, you sit to breakfast with Aea and Fera, doing so outside with Tora. Assuming you don't fail the rain barrier, other people will start to filter out to also sit in the courtyard and marvel at the magic display, and the waitresses will also bring out food because of it.

>What do you want to do?

Rolled 44 (1d100)

>>711269
I'll roll for that barrier because muh honor

Anyways ask Tora what that guy from yesterday was talking to her about.

>>711269
Ask if we won any money in the contest

>>711281
Which guy?

And yes you put up the rain shield, it's enough for the courtyard and people are pleased.

>>711286
That's right, you ask one of the waitresses about it, which she congratulates you again, and says the barkeep kept your winnings for safe keeping. She'll bring them out with the food.

>>711281
Supporting this too

The one that was chatting her up before the magic duel.
I'm curious as to why he took an interest in her.

>>711300
The one that was chatting her up after the duel

>>711317
Ah yes it was after.
>>711300
We need to know.

>>711312
He was literally chatting her up, he asked if he could meet with her some time for a luncheon or a walk. She doesn't know why he took an interest in her, that's like asking why people are attracted to what they are.

Damn, that dude has some balls
And pretty god-tier taste to be honest

>>711334
I was curious because I thought he might have like her.
And by reason he took an interest I mean an interest in talking to her.

Does she have any interest in him?

>>711354
She doesn't have much interest in him no. She finds it perhaps a little flattering of his sense to not look at her as a monster and boldness to approach, but she's not interested in anything with the friend of a man her employer was fighting and had trouble with.

>>711389
>Eh I wouldn't say he gave me trouble. More like he used to be the top magic blooded student. Then I heard rumors he wanted to duel me. So I challenged him.
>It was more like I just wanted to see who was stronger.

>>711414
That's such a strange concept to her, and she doesn't try to understand it. At any rate she doubts she'll see the guy again. Meanwhile the food arrives, as well as your winnings, a small bag full of guilders. A surprising amount to you and a lot by anyone's standards for a drinking game. Once again you get compliments all around, especially from Aea who didn't know you had it in you to beat even her.

>>711579
>Let's enjoy the food and engage in idle talk with our friends.

We're getting somewhat well known.

>>711617
You pass a nice hour or so with everyone, eating and talking. It's a nice morning to your first day off for sure. Eventually Vela also comes down to join you, trying to make up excuses for why she didn't handle the drinking as well as you or Aea. Otherwise though things go well, and you even get interest from some guys happening by.

>Moving forward, anything you want to do?

>>711718
We should explore the menagerie.
And look for magical creatures that can talk or communicate.

>>711742
Care to bring anyone or just go on your own?

>>711749
Aea and Vela.
I don't think we can bring Tora.
Fera too.

>>711757
Girls outing to the menagerie then. Fera says if you're going with your friends she doesn't want to be a fourth wheel, but hopes to see you again. Along the way Vela does proposition making use of the bath house back at the school after a night of drinking, but that's your choice. Maybe after.

At any rate you can find Julien in order to get you into the menagerie, as well as being introduced to Vela. Once there and getting in, if you're looking for something particular, go ahead and roll.
