You have been traveling with Jackson for four long lonely days. You have yet to speak a single word to Jackson since the night you told him how much you hate him, sometimes Jackson will speak to you but not often. Every day has been more or less the same since then. Most days you focus on your feet as you walk, your body still hurts but Jackson pushes you on. Then at some point Jackson will pick out a place to make camp. [hunter] He will send you out to scout the area , and every time you find nothing. When you return Jackson will have some oats waiting for you, apparently having already finished his portion he will pass the single spoon and bowl over to you. The oats don’t taste like anything but they fill you up and drive away the hungry for an hour or two. Then the two of you will sit in silence until you pass into a dreamless sleep from exhaustion. Jackson on the other hand never seems to sleep, you always fall asleep before he does and when you wake up he is already getting ready to leave. Tonight you have been trying to draw a little but are to tired to make any reasonable effort. As you sit near the open flame for warmth a great bout of depression clings to you. Not just because you feel as if you failed the people of Wilstown, but old memorys begin to stir in your mind as well. At this time of the year, you and your uncle would be making a pilgrimage deeper into the woods to winter with the other bushman in a great cave. To share in each others company, furrs, and provisioned meals. Even without your uncle you would always return there, but the past few years saw less and less bushman showing up until the atmosphere had changed completely. The men had become harsh and cruel, and on your last visit, much to your dismay but to the interest of everyone else, you were the only woman there. Another reason you chose to return to society this year, you knew it would be best to never go back there again.

Your dark feelings and memorys suddenly break when Jackson starts talking. Not talking to you directly but talking to the room as if he had an audience. He must be talking to you since youre clearly the only person here, but he is making an effort to not talk to you directly; you watch him with curiosity. As if he knew the time in which your mind wandered, he starts talking about his own childhood growing up in the Iron Mountains. As he talks he seems to delve deeper and deeper into his own story and starts partially miming out actions with his hands and even laughing at some unheard joke. You listen to the whole thing in silent amusement as he talks through story after story, one about sticking his fingers in freshly made bread to steal the soft insides when no one was looking, another about how he and his brothers would go fishing with just their bare hands, but the most interesting story is one he tells about a bridge troll.

“I remember when I was still very young and my brothers had started their education, I was very lonely then and had only myself for entertainment. At the time I found it interesting to wander deep into the forests pretending I was on a journey to meet the queen of the fairys. One day I found an old half finished bridge, apparently my granddad tried building it for my homesick grandmother... but its not important to the story. Anyway, I decided that from now on this was MY bridge, I was a grand knight and that bridge was my castle. I would come and play almost everyday, that bridge was like a treasure to me.” his voice takes on a more somber tone “But then one day I showed up to the bridge and when I got up on it... Suddenly! The earth began to quake under my feet! and up from under the bridge came” he pauses for effect “a troll, a massive troll. I thought it would eat me whole, but the troll just shook its head at me and in plain speak said” Jackson tries to make his voice sound deeper to mimic a troll "'if you want to cross my bridge, you have to pay the toll!' Unbelievable. But I looked at that troll right in the eyes and said 'this is MY bridge, I have been playing here for months', the courage of someone who has never known hardship in his life I guess. Well, the troll rubbed his chin and disagreed with me of course, he insisted that he has been living under it since he was a boy and his father and fathers father also lived under this bridge and if I didn’t pay him the toll he would club me. Of course I had nothing on me, so I offered the shirt off my back and surprisingly he agreed. From then on me and that troll would become good friends, I eventually traded back for my shirt and would bring him all manner of things from spoons to apples in order to pay him his toll and play on the bridge. Some times he would even join in and pretend to be a dragon, he liked dragons” Jackson looks down at his feet for a few moments before continuing the story “Anyway, one day my frequent escapades were noticed by my father, so he followed me to the bridge in secret. When he saw the troll he just lost it. Mind you I didn’t understand about beastmen back then like I do now, so I was quite confused. He turned the troll into minced meat right in front of my very eyes, the troll never fraught back it just let him tear it apart. I pleaded with my father to stop but when my dad got angry he got ANGRY. When he had finished with my troll friend he beat the living hell out of me too. Then he took me back to the keep and beat what ever servant he could find for not watching me better. He was always like that, one day he is patting you on the head and the next day he would just snap. I remember once he beat a servant to death in anger.

Eventually I managed to sneak out of the keep a month later and found all the valuables the troll had been hording, just a bunch of bent spoons and some old shirts; all that I had ever brought him was all he had. I told myself I would never be like my father, I would never let the anger control me like that.” That last story may have been to much for Jackson because he didn’t say anything after that. You think maybe this was a good time to talk to Jackson, since he clearly made the effort to talk to you. But you don't, you are still mad at him even though you’re not really sure what for anymore. Eventually you drift off to another dreamless sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day starts like the others, you pack up camp and head down the road. The forest has started to disappear behind you and has now opened up to a much more open plain. You don’t like it, feels unnatural to be able to see so far. As you dredge along looking at your feet and counting steps you suddenly feel as if something is off. Looking up at the sky you spot two birds, crows. [hunter] Not too common in these parts, usually run off by their bigger cousins the stormcrow. A few hours later, at about noon, the two of you find yourselves facing down an over turned wagon. A few birds circle around high above it while the rest sit on the wooden frame. You don’t see any people but Jackson tells you to stay put while he investigates.

Jackson's childhood was pretty fucked up, huh.
And with a father like this he still says he didn't know hardship.

Jackson's clearly a bit fucked up, I don't trust him yet but over time that may change.

Let's just silently watch his back.

Kae is at full health, I forgot to mention that last post

You cant help but feel nervous letting Jackson go alone, but you decide to stay put like he ordered (at least this time). You carefully pull out the last arrow from you bag and string it to your bow. Ready and alert, you survey the surrounding landscape; just flat grassy plains as far as the eye can see, no one is sneaking up on you here. When Jackson reaches the wagon he pokes around with his sword for a bit then circles around to the other side of it, you take a longer circle around determined to keep an eye on him but stay back a respectable distance. He seems to spot something interesting as he stands and stares at the ground for quite some time. Eventually he turns around and starts heading back towards you. Its at this point you drop your guard and loosen the arrow you have readied. When the two of you reunite, The murder of crows start to caw at you relentlessly, breaking the silence before Jackson can. Shooting Jackson a questioning look, he responds “lets just keep going, there is nothing of interest here.” Jackson places his hand on your shoulder and gently ushers you away the wagon.

>What do? At this point, we are still giving Jackson the silent treatment.

For this next part, if we let Jet Jackson lead us away ill be taking us directly to the next town. Unless A: You want to do something/say something to Jackson on the road or B: Something else of interest happens on the road.

>>2533430
Push his shoulder off, squint at him angrily (maintain silent treatment). Continue to move towards the wagon. Kae could make a observation check to see what we can scavenge from the cart. No reason to waist (again) the opportunity for free loot. Glad your back.

We rolled 2d5 resulting in, a 4 and a 3

As Jackson starts to lead you away from the wagon, it becomes clear that he is trying to hide something from you. Since Jackson seemed to make an earnest attempt to bury the hatchet with you last night you decide its high time to do the same. “What happened to that wagon?” , “bandits, Its best we keep going.” “Whats a bandits?” Jackson gives you a scrutinizing look over before remembering who he is dealing with ”lawless men, they take what they want, usually by force. I guess today they wanted what ever that wagon was carrying. Seeing as it came from the same direction we did, it probably wasn’t much of anything.” I guess that means they took everything of value... Hmmm, but thats not 100% true. There is still something of value to be scavenged here, you lick your lips as you eye down the crows. They scoff at you with their prideful caws, daring you to knock them off their high perch. Drawing your last arrow you take aim at them, in their decadence they make easy targets. Although... This IS your last arrow, it wasn’t made to last and shooting it here could leave you arrow less... The hesitation is enough for Jackson to make sense of your actions and put an end to them. “You don’t want to indirectly share in their meal, just forget it and lets go.” ”Oh” , the gears in your head turn and you put the pieces together. [bushman]You think that Jackson is over acting, the great circle of life and all that. Besides you want the breast meat not the crows stomach contents. Ah well, Its probably for the best not to agitate Jackson over a crow. You sure are hungry thought...

File: 105.png (15 KB, 422x700)

As you follow Jackson away from the site you decide to strike up a bit of conversation... ”So... Got any more storys?” “not any that im the the mood to tell” “what about hobbies? You got any hobbies? I like to draw things that I like” ”Yes, my favourite hobby is called 'walking in silence'” . Brutal, Jackson definitely seems pretty agitated. But you are not willing to give up yet, perhaps the trick here is to take a different road. “I got this from Ajax” you show him your silver coin “Is it worth anything? Im not sure how money works” Jackson takes the coin from your hand “yes, this is actually worth quit a bit, about 93 copper pieces I think. Although, its a poor price to be payed for witch hunting, you got screwed. He places the coin into his own belt “why don’t you let me hold onto it, ill exchange it for you. Flashing this kind of money would attract the wrong kind of attention, and I don’t think any of the peasantry will be able to change a silver piece anyway”. “Ok Jack, you know best” . The two of you continue down the road in silence for the better part of the hour before... ”I remember this one time, when I was in port Ribolovgrade...”

After a weeks travel you finally arrive at Cobuege at about midday. The “village” is comprised of a large fortress that sits atop of a hill while the village itself seems to have sprung up all around it. You have never seen anything like It, the village is much smaller then Wilstown but it seems much more vibrant with life. From the mighty stone monument to human ingenuity to the great golden fields of wheat that spread out in all directions, it all seams interconnected with the bustle of villagers going to and fro. Your bumpkin brain is blown. Jackson tells you that soon the spring crop will be harvested for winter, and there may even be a harvest festival to thank the Father. Your mouth salivates at the prospect of free food, you sure hope to see something like that with your own eyes. “Listen Kae, im going to go up to the fortress to have a talk with some associates and exchange your coin” he places 5 copper coins into your hand “why don’t you see about getting a taste of that famous Cobuege cobuege, we can meet up later. Im sure all the formal military stuff will bore you” . He awaits your reply

We seriously need to fucking drop this fuck. He has quite literally fucked us over on every single opportunity available to him throughout this game. How the hell are all of you ok with this?

Again I really don't see why you guys want to be buddy buddy with J. From are previous options (becoming beat cops for the riot/revolution, water bender) we got (opinions here) the worst choice. However I'm just airing my opinions here. My ire for a better companion (Not stonewall berserk, OP did a good job writing him) is backed up by months of plot progression.

>>2548168
So far he's done his best to keep us from getting killed. And I have suspicions that he starved himself on the journey so we could eat.

I think most of us would rather keep riding this purge train for now, stop trying to sabotage the quest.

We already voted to keep going with him.
Only thing thats mildly inconvenienced us so far since then is the coin thing and you jumped on it pretty goddamn fast and hard.

“Uh, that sounds good. But where do I go? How do I, you know, make this work?” . You understand the concept of money, but not the human interactions associated with its exchange for goods and services. Understanding your confusion Jackson instructs you on how to find the “The Kings Hand” inn. “Just walk in, you will see a man behind a counter, walk up to him and ask for something to eat. Eventually he will ask you to pay him. Its very simple, you’re a surprisingly sharp girl I know you wont have any issues. Another thing, if it you’re able to remember, inquire about some rooms.” “rooms?” “Aye, ill meet you at the Kings Hand tonight, we may be spending the night there. Anyway, feel free to explore the town but make sure to come back by sun down, I should have your coin exchanged by then.” As Jackson walks away, you shout out to him one last question ”Do you want anything? Should I buy some food for you too?” . He doesn’t turn around or shout back a reply, but he does give you a backwards wave. I guess that means no?

Following Jacksons instructions you make your way through the village, you’re pretty damn hungry but you still manage to pay close attention to your surroundings. People seem to busy themselves with this and that, they move to and fro and don’t seem to pay any attention to you. As you head deeper into the village the buildings start to press together and the dirt streets even start to become stone. Around here you start to notice beggars, there is a notable amount of them. [INT] It is possible that these are refugees from Wilstown, if you and Jackson traveled here it is possible that others did as well. Unfortunately you are not very familiar with the topology of the civilized worlds towns and villages, and can only guess.

Soon you find the object of your search, located exactly where Jackson said it would be. A sign swings back and forth above the door, the words “The Kings Hand” are clearly written on it. You can hear the sounds of conversation inside and the smell of lunch is unmistakable.

You open the door and step inside, the warm air engulfs you immediately. The inn is a grand spectacle, The walls are decorated with tapestry of various colours and some even hang from the ceiling providing the room with a garish yet homely feeling. Groups of people sit around tables of various sizes drinking and eating various foods out of mismatched plates and cups. The complete lack of unity creates its own bizarre harmony. A single central fire place provides the heating to the room, and most of the elderly patrons sit huddled around it. You close the door behind you and head towards the bar, just as Jackson instructed. Just as when you walked through town, no one really pays you any attention. You cant help but feel relived that people find you so disinteresting. Unfortunately for you, no one is behind the counter like Jack said there would be. You look around and see a man sitting at the counter near you, he has his heads in his arms and is possibly taking a nap. Maybe this is the man you are supposed to talk to? You move over towards him but before you can say anything a slim looking man walks up to the counter and swings himself over to the other side “I wouldn’t do that, Ivan is a mean drunk” drunk? “So what can I help you with today?” “Ah, I would like to purchase one meal” ”sure, sure, what can I get you then?” ”uuhh, ONE meal” ” right sure, hey Ratco, one usual eh? [attractive]he gives you a look over, starting low and working his way up. So are you new in town? Whats your name?” Taking a seat at the bar you decide it may not be to bad to practice talking with someone who isn’t Jackson “my name is Kae, I just got here from wilstown” a waitress comes by and places a plate full of meats and vegetables in front of the sleeping man named Ivan. You gaze at it with anticipation, and wonder when your “the usual” is going to be ready. The barkeeper takes the plate from in front of Ivan and slides it in front of you. ” Ratco, forget the usual Wilstown eh? That will be one copper miss. Upfront you hear a swearing sound coming from the kitchen. you look down at the bounty before you, fresh deer meat, carrots, the vegetables Jackson called potatoes, corn, and a loaf of bread. Your eyes start to water, all this was just 1 copper piece away all this time? And you have FIVE coppers thats FIVE meals. You produce the single piece and place it on the counter. The bartender swiftly sweeps up the copper and after seeing your mesmerized face, he decides to leave you to your lunch ”Enjoy, just give a shout if you need anything” . You press your fork into one end of the deer flank and slowly cut into it with your knife. You raise the juicy morsel towards your mouth drooling all the while, surly noting can come between you and happiness now, surly.

You know this man, you briefly met about eleven days ago. You give him a curtsey nod and start shovelling the food in front of you into your mouth. A shame you cant take the time to enjoy your meal but survival instincts come first. He takes a position next to you and starts to size you up, his mouth opens to reveal a perfect set of teeth and a tongue that moves from one side of his mouth to the other. You stealthily wrap your sword up in your cloak, after all, it used to be his. Maybe thats what hes after? Oh god, does he KNOW? You shovel food into your mouth faster. Desperate to break the silence you decide to act oblivious for now:
Kae: “You hungry? I have a few coins and all this food is just for just one coin! Can you believe it?”
loki: “This wolf hungers indeed, but he is not sure if what he seeks is on the menu.”
he sizes you up again and inches closer
loki: “Yet.”
You eat FASTER
loki: “Tell my my little bird, when did you swoop in? Tell me how good is my nose?”
he inches even closer
Kae: “not your bird. I just got here, It would seem your nose is excellent. Im travelling with some one you see, a BIG guy. He should be right around here...”
You place another copper coin on the counter, and motion to your empty plate at the inkeeper signalling for another order. [CHA: Failure] Loki calls your bluff
loki: “Hes not here, its just you and me free bird . Now tell me what I want to know”
even closer, the concept of personal space must be forlorn to loki because he is penetrating yours.
Kae: “I dont know what youre talking about”
loki: “enough GAMES free bird you know what I want. You MUST give it to me”
your hand moves towards the hilt of your blade as Loki's eyes burn with a blazing intensity peering directly into your soul
loki: “THE GREAT HUNT! WAS IT SUCCESSFUL?? FROM ONE BERD OF PRAY TO ANOTHER, I RELISH TO HEAR OF IT”
you breath a heavy sigh of relief,
Kae: “Oh, that aaa haha... Well im not sure I should talk about that...”
The bartender brings you another order of food and collects your copper piece, that was fast, almost like he knew. Taking the food in your hand you attempt to move away from loki but he places his hand around your waist and draws you in. Its seems that he is unwilling to let you leave so easily.
loki: “Bartender, two meads for me and my pack mate. Hmmm what did you say your name was again?”
You didnt
Kae: “Im Kae”
you start eating the food from your new plate
Loki: “A wrong name, it does not suit you. Why does this lion hide among sheep I wonder? No matter, I am Oak the warrior”
Whats a lion? Wait, Oak??
Loki: “come come, let the words flow”

Remember, this is the guy that pussied out at the mere mention of a witch. And would have been no match for Ajax and likely Jackson.

>>2558375
Eh, lets see what he wants.

>>2558385
>Refuse to budge from this place.
>Allude to a nebulous supernatural danger following us closely

>>2558385
It's just a table not a skeevy room or whatever, so I'm fine with seeing what he wants.
If anything it'll at least give Kae more practice standing up for herself, even if in a different way from how she's needed to previously.

>>2558708
Supporting.

tell him it was too easy and not worth bragging about. add that you forgot to collect the head as instructed.


Fuck, getting that sexy trait was such a waste and hassle.
Fucking Jackson didn't even notice and all these assholes are bothering us now cause of it.

>>2560850
To be fair that trait isn't doing much as long as we're clothed, right?

Speaking of OP, you can't really read the trait cards in the character sheet at all with the current resolution.

>>2560864
Even clothed we now have the "attractive" trait so Kae is still sexy in clothes

With a graceful spin you escape Loki/Oak's grasp and continue to the empty table, he happily lets you take the lead and gives chase. Sitting down at a vacant table you pick up the conversation and continue taking in pieces of your meal. You still feel hungry but at the same time you feel full, thats probably not a good sign.
Kae:”There isn’t much of a story im afraid...”
loki picks the seat closest to yours and slides it even closer, eager to hear every detail.
Kae:“It was just an old woman living in the forest, she just threw frogs and lig...”
Loki winces
Loki:“Stop, STOP, this is how you tell a story? Awful, just awful. Try again”
Taken back you indeed try again.
Kae:“Well... I met up with Jackson and then the two of use found th...”
Loki frantically shakes his head side to side, clearly distressed and in pain.
Loki:“How did you FEEL after I left you? What was the weather like? How did you Find this Jackson? The details, the story is in the DETAILS.”
At this point the bartender delivers two small vials filled with a clear liquid to the table. Placing one of the vials on his lips and throwing his head back Loki/Oak intakes the contents in one swig, before motioning to you to take the other. Loki then addresses the bartender
Loki:“Two more my friend. I think this may take a while”
You bring the vial up to your nose and give it a sniff, an odd smell, you’re not sure of its contents. Taking a small sip you find it to be extremely strong but with a sweet aftertaste. You’re not sure what to think of it but you have definitely never tasted anything like this before and youre not sure you like it very much. Deciding to be more assertive in your dealings with Loki(Oak?) you take in the entire contents of the vial as well, you definitely don’t want to seem weak. You try to tell your story to him a third time but he refuses to hear it.
Loki:“Let this wise owl show you how its done. Come, ask this one anything”
Kae:“Alright, what have you been up to? Since we parted ways”
With the end of your sentence Oak(Loki?) [Kae:CHA vs Lok:CHA+StoryTeller: Fail] launches into a epic tale full of plot twists, emotion, suspense, romance, and danger. You have no idea how a story about travelling from Wilstown with your tail between your legs and then dicking around in Coubage for a a few days can be made to sound so interesting but Loki(Oak?) definitely managed it. Now its your turn to pull your seat closer to him, you are so mesmerized by Oak's (Loki's?) story that when the bartender arrives with a refill of your drinks you absentmindedly drink this one as well. In between the lines loki ordered another round of drinks for the two of you and three other men also entranced by Loki/Oaks story have taken a seat at your table.

>>2562699
Loki:“Why don’t you try again free bird? But lets try a different story, tell us of your very first hunt.”
You don’t know why but you feel... sociable? In fact you are starting to feel pretty damn good for the first time in a long time, it doesn’t feel odd to you that some strange men have joined in to listen to you talk at all. As you start talking yourself through some old memory’s Loki(Oak?) simple nods his head. He seems to be enjoying this story and your new frineds seems to be hanging on your every word, even the waitress seems to be lingering around your table to listen. As you talk, another round arrives and you take it in as well. When you finish your story (Loki?) seems giddy as a clam and another man who has joined your group starts to talk about HIS first hunt. As your party grows in size your forth round arrives, you’re having a really good time but it suddenly dons on you that what ever your drinking is probably not free
Kae:“How much are these? I only have a few coins left...”
Loki/Oak shoots you a glance from the corner of his eye
Loki:“Its on me.” turning his head to the side “the price of friendship”
then turns back to listen to the ongoing storys. You look down into your forth vial, you WANT to drink this...

Thats it for this thread, Ill see you guys Tuesday!

>>2562196
This guy gets it

>>2560864
Its true, I was thinking about adding an extra page to resources with them zoomed in but im not really sure how much people care about the gamey elements of the quest anyway. Ill upload it for the next thread probably.

>>2548830
>>2548168
Even if you we stuck with Jackson I have not forgotten that 47% of people voted to ditch him. It should show when I write their interactions. If you keep writing prompts about how much you dislike Jackson, even if it doesn't win, it will still somewhat effect their relation ship.

>>2562735
>47% of people voted to ditch him. It should show when I write their interactions.

I figured that was why kae said she hated him.

Fuck dude, i really like you're style.
Wish more QMs were like you.

>>2562701
Kae is a clueless girl, and since she wants to anyway, drink it

>>2562795
yeah sojourn is p based

>>2562701
Cool drinking time is fun and Kae needs to have fun at this point. Why not have another drink?
>"To friendship!"

>>2562735
A cool way of doing things. Hopefully it won't lead to Kae acting full schizo due to anons swinging votes every which way though.

As much as i think its a bad idea, Kae doesn't know better.
>Drink
>"To friendship!"

>>2562701
>Take it easy, or we'll drink away all of Loki's money.

>>2562701
Do a toast to hunts and friendships.
Every one gets drunk and dancing to night away

>>2562701
Also mybe we should dump jackson and go with loki

>>2564107
>Going with an obvious sleazeball.

I think we should take both Jackson and Loki along with us. For art purposes.

gross, have some decency you dirty cheating slut.

Really though, i like how kae fucking loves alcohol now.

>>2562735
I only voted to ditch him to help the town, since there was no other choice with him staying, but I'd rather not ditch him entirely.

Anyways, >>2562701
I'll go with >>2563221

>>2564180
This.

Loki creeps me the hell out, I don't think we should even be getting drunk with him

>>2564676
What is it about him that creeps you out? I just find him weird

>>2564180
Staying with a dick face that has a huge murder booner and rages out of no where.
Sleezball would be safer......

Iv naver liked jack from the start
And we naver had this much fun with him, fucktard almost got us killed

>>2564744
Also jack took all our money

>>2564744
to be fair, WE almost got us killed, Jackson DID warn us to not follow him

>>2565632
yeah this
people gotta stop pretending jackson is a evil virus of satan

>>2562795
>>2563144
<3

>>2563221
We will see, im not above making judgment calls to prevent dead locks. Also, if Kae has liked carrots from the start of the quest she wont suddenly hate carrots even if anons vote for that out of the blue.
-Prompts have to make sense in continuity to the story. Example: characters who are established pacifists wont start murdering randomly for exp.

>>2564735
For some reason I get the impression the melodramatic way he speaks is an act, like he's not just a harmless weirdo.

>>2565632
Wasnt talking ao much about hunting the witch more about how he left us to get curbstompes by people in the village.
Not to mention if we didnt go in we would have sine his muder boner and how crazy he is.
Jack is an asshole for like 90% iv seen him.

>>2565883
Just going to expand on this.

Some things he do might be more strategic than they appear. Maybe I'm just reading into it too much but right now it seems that we are being grilled for information.

He has no reason to consider us a friend. Unless he's an idiot he probably know Kae stole his sword, and unless OP is railroading hard, why is he so buddy buddy?

Jackson is surly, homicidal and frankly an asshole, but we at least know some of his motivations.

>>2562701
>Take the drink, leave the guy and go looking for Cuties.

>>2567390
My thoughts too
Lets hope this does not turn to rape

>>2567390
How do people not get his motivation? Loki wants to bang Kae because he finds her attractive.
>Get Kae drunk
>Get down and slam and welcome to the jam

No update today as Im working on a bigger update; artistically speaking anyway. Hopefully it will be worth skipping a update cycle for. Friday friday friday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHffJ0qC9Ko

>>2567416
So best case scenario is he is just a run of the mill scumbag?

You guys are overthinking it, besides he seems more of an overconfident hero wannabe than anything.

>>2568124
Oh me oh my. Looking forward to it.

>>2568124
When are you going to get a tablet? I don't know how you're doing this with a mouse.
>>2568384
Can you blame him tho? Kae is a qt

>>2568921
Il fuck kae

>>2568124
Its jack finding us geting drunk and him eanting to fight everyone isnt it?

>>2569118
Oh shit that might actually happen
Im getting excited for that big update

>>2567416
>all these anons shiting on loki when all he ever wanted to do was date rape Kae

But muh Tsundere

Well... I wouldn't mind Jackson decapitating a couple peasants for us...

>>2569593
He did that in the last town and left us to get curbstomped.
Also then we might end up in jail

>Bitching cause our mans a berserker.
Christ mate, i bet you want to civilize him and get him to take up accounting.

>>2569777
I want to leave him aoo no i wouldnt want to turn him into an accountent

>>2568921
When a good one shows up on Craigslist for 500$

>>2569777
>i bet you want to civilize him and get him to take up accounting.
I'd personally prefer JUSTICE to be properly served to him before we part ways. (Righteous Vengeance for best boy/water bending qtpie & KAE's money back)
>>2562701
Anyway we can check the tone of his remark (In Kaes current state mind you)? I'm all for Loki right know but he could still be working in some weird way with the Rebellion Boi whose out for Kaes head. A most foul betrayal is still in the picture, so we shouldn't be celebrating right away.

I'm telling you all, we need both boys in the party. How else will Kae ever draw her bestselling yaoi doujin?

>>2570948
We can make do without either of them, especially in the later game where Kae becomes self-sustainable

>>2570898
We killed the witch boy by Letting him do it and not caring enough to object.
The only minor fault we should have is him not explaining magic shit to us and why he hates it so much that he doesn't want to talk about it or go after the teacher.
Plus we'll get our money when he comes back.
He doesn't have a bad bone in his body.
What he really cares about is purging witches, fuck maybe hes a templar or inquisitor.

>>2570948
Screw that, the guys in other quests always get a harem, now its kaes turn.
Starting with the buff rage machine and the swanky swordsman

>>2571064
Dont know about him not having a bad bone in his body. But it was already established that he doesn't care about money.

>>2569777
>not wanting this
