Votes:

Votes are counted until 25 minutes have passed. This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.
Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!

When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.

Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore!

The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!

Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.

Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

Time for the first recruitment call of the day.

“Let’s get this going.” Your mental warm ups are done. “Here.” Since the others are busy, you will wear headphones, one ear piece for each of you two. Rora is ready! “I’m calling Susie first!”

“Ooooh! Who is that?” Aurora has no idea what you’re talking about.

“You haven’t met her?! Darn!” You forgot you haven’t introduced them to each other. “Still, I think you should know her. You play Sparks of Luck. She’s one of the four admirals or whatever the fuck.” Do the best SoL players have a title? Did you make this up?

“It’s the Platinum Class Card Devas. And No, I don’t.” Aurora feigns ignorance despite the tidbit.

“The Platinum—what?” You have never heard this term before and you already hate it. You blame the angel of music or whatever his title was.

“I don’t know, I’m not a nerd.” Aurora will live in denial for the rest of her bunny life.

“...Anyway, Susie is one of those. I think. I know she was unbeaten. You ready?” You have T_T Neko’s number under your thumb!

“Whenever you are!” Aurora is super ready.


“A-ha! I knew you’d call me today!” T_T Neko sounds like she won a bet.

“Huh? Did something happen? Also, hi!” You talked to her for 3 seconds and the conversation already derailed.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing, you cheeky man. I’ll tell you what you wanna know. Nina has been gushing about you since she got here, so whatever you did, it worked. And even that nurse is yapping about you.” Neko is talking nonsense. “But don’t think I’m gonna let you do what you want with those luscious bodies. You might not be all that bad, but I have to be wary.”

“Uhm, one, I’m not here to talk about that. And second, I’m on the speaker with a friend, tell her hi, Rora!” You happily exclaim.

“Hi, hi, hi! I’m Aurora! Nice to metcha!” Aurora gets all happy, she didn’t know what the cat lady was talking about, and doesn’t seem to care.

“WHAT?! YOU FRICKING PRICK! You should’ve told me someone else was listening!!! What’s wrong with you? Is this one of your kinks?! I don’t consent! I do not!” Neko is horrified.

“S-Sorry! I didn’t want to upset you!” Rora doesn’t know what to do!

“Upset me?! I-It’s way more than that, young lady! Are you one of his flings? Have you gotten dirty with him?!” Neko hisses back.

“Susie, knock it down a notch. I’m here for a serious talk.” You try to get serious.

“Oh, you need info on someone, who is it this time around?” Susie loses a little interest.

“I actually need you for a mission. Nothing in the field, just the back, you’ll be safe. Help us out streamlining the information.” You explain.

“Like a navi...?” Neko doesn’t mind the coach potato role. “What’s the catch? Why me?”

“I thought you’d appreciate the experience, and you’re pretty competent.” You say.

“And we’ll certainly appreciate the help!” Aurora pleads politely.

“What’s in it for me? You owe so many favors I want to cash in for something big, huge, giant! You understand?!” T_T Neko doesn’t know the limits of what she can ask. “I can’t let anyone think they can order me around without giving me what I deserve.”

Susie doesn’t want to look like a pushover…

How do you respond?

>“I have the best Sparks of Luck partner you’ll ever find right next to me! I’ll present you to each other!” You think Rora’s friendship is worth its weight in gold!
>“Neko, it’s up to you. I’m open to whatever. But we’ll discuss it later, okay?” Stall while on the phone.
>“Tell me what you want and I’ll make it happen.” Go along with her demands since Rora being here will placate Neko’s pervertedness.
>Write In.

She needs more friends. Aurora already has experience with her rat sister and her sheep sister, so what's a new cat sister on top of that?

>>6108491

“Tell me what you want, and I’ll make it happen.” You’ll go along with her demands, with Rora being here, she won’t act like a pervert, right?

“Is your friend still listening?” T_T Neko demands to know.

“Uhm, yeah, I was the one who said that thing before. Did you forget?” Aurora feels ignored.

“NGggh, he should cover his phone when he’s talking about sensitive topics!” Neko retorts, all annoyed.

“We’re using headphones though.” Aurora doesn’t think it’d help.

“T-That’s not my point, Agh!” Neko sounds frustrated.

“If Rora can’t hear your request, you can’t make it.” You stand firm.

“She’ll think ill of me even if I’m innocent!” Susie doesn’t want to look bad to people.

“Then be thoughtful about your answer.” You smirk.

“Classic manipulation! But you won’t outsmart me. I know exactly what I want.” Neko is seething.

“Then what is it?” You wanna know.

“Hold on. Ah, so this Aurora helped you with the cult, huh…” The nerdy girl is checking her sources. She’s stalling.

“And I’m helping him again!” Aurora is very proud of this fact.

“Yes, now I know what you look like, hehe…” Neko is planning bad things.

“That’s not the answer we were looking for.” You deadpan.

“Not at all.” Aurora realizes. “She’s answering another thing altogether!” The bunny states the obvious!

“M-My answer hinges on you being in the *know*…! Agh! It’d be obvious why if you let me finish talking.” Neko complains.

“Oh, sorry, our bad! I didn’t think you had a plan at all, you sound like you’re panicking.” Aurora profusely apologizes.

“NNNgh, I-I’m not panicking! I have everything under control.” Neko feels antagonized.

“Relax, Susie. We’re the ones asking you a favor.” You ask the kitty cat to chill.

“That’s right. I’m in control…” Susie is hesitating still. “I get to decide everything!” Neko has found her mojo! “First, stop callin’ me Susie!”

“No.” You deadpan.

“NgGgh... Y-You’re such a prick. Do what you want!” T_T Neko relents.

“Like, I don’t wanna admit it, but I’m really curious about what you want! Tell us!” Aurora moves the conversation forward.

“D-Don’t be too cheerful, it might not be something you’d like to hear...” Neko doesn’t like pressure. “It’s quite… mischievous…”

“Huh? What could it be?” Aurora wants this mystery resolved.

“Prick, you can turn yourself invisible, and everything you touch... This is a succulent power with so many possibilities…” T_T Neko starts sounding like a weirdo. “I know you have used it for your own amusement. Nina told me about what you did! How you… How you pranked her! My poor innocent Nina was feasting and you scared her!”

“What are you getting at?” You ask.

“I want you to prank some people for me, and record it all! You must follow my instructions without hesitation! You’ll be my pawn, hehe hee… Certain ladies owe me for the way they treated me without consideration… This will be my payback. What do you say? Are these terms acceptable?”

You don’t think this sounds that bad, but Kitty Paws is being vague on purpose. She’s circumventing Aurora’s presence to get what she wants anyway!

How do you respond?

>“Who are the people you want me to prank?” You need more information.
>“These are pranks, right? Like there’s nothing weird about them, right?” Insinuate that Neko is a pervert and ask her to turn it down.
>“Sure, but they have to be funny.” You’ll be a mischievous prick.
>“Like, now? Do you want me to do this now? If it’s quick, I might.” You don’t have anything else to do...

“Sure, but they have to be funny.” You’re an older brother, it’s your mission in life to be a jerk for the sake of comedy.

“HehehhEHahhaa!!! Yes, it’ll be really funny… I’m laughin’ just thinkin’ about it.” Neko cackles like a creep. “This will have your utmost priority over everything!”

“Not the plan though.” You have boundaries.

“If there’s dead time, we’ll get to it…! No delays! If there are delays, you will pay.” Susie wants this to happen really badly.

“As long as you understand that after the mission I’ll have more time, we’re good.” You won’t back down.

“Suit yourself.” Susie’s excitement doesn’t die down even if she relented a little.

“Yay! I’m glad we sorted this out!” Aurora likes the arrangement.

“We’ll bring you here as soon as we can, Susie. Stay alert.” You think you’re done for now.

“I’m always alert…” Susie chuckles as she hangs up the phone.

You have mixed feelings about this, all positive though, like a mix of different snacks! It went great!

“She sounds so funny. I have a friend who is like that, she never stops talking, like, ever! And she’s always passionate.” Aurora liked the kitty. “Gotta know though, does she amp it for people, or is she always like that?”

“In my opinion, a lil’ bit of both.” You’ve seen the niceness of this kitty… “Now, it’s time to call Odetta.” From one creepy girl to another.

“Who is that?” Aurora wants to know more. She regrets not getting more information before.

“A pal of mine with ghost powers.” You’d describe it differently, but it might sound like people you already know.

“You’re not kiddin’, right?” Aurora didn’t know that’s a thing.

“I’m not. She can possess electronics somehow. She snuck inside my phone and made it malfunction.” You remember fondly like it was yesterday… Hold on.

“Like a virus? Oh! I heard from a friend to never open a Dotex file unless I want my phone to explode into a million pieces. Maybe she sent one of those Dotexes to you and, like, screwed you over.” Aurora hypothesizes.

“You mean a .exe file?” You wonder. Aurora shrugs. “Nah, it was her ghost powers, I’m sure of it. I think her soul was in it.”

“That does sound like a ghost all right!” Rora chuckles. “...This is so creepy!” She realizes that this is out of the ordinary.

“Indeed, and with her creepy little help, we’ll succeed.” You adjust your glasses. “I’m calling her now!”

“What?” That’s Odetta’s voice!

“Hey, Little O! It’s me! And I’ve been wondering if you can do me a big favor.” You say.

“...How the hell did you get my number?” Odetta doesn’t recall giving it to you.

“Fiora gave it to me.” You say.

“That second rate witch…” Odetta grumbles.

“A friend is listening, so please be mindful of the way you talk!” You inform. “Her name is Aurora, say Hi, Aurora!”

“Hiii!” Aurora waves at nothing.

“W-What the…?!” Odetta is caught off guard not by Aurora’s presence, but something else.

“Something wrong? Are you okay?” Aurora’s big sister alarm goes off!

“You said your name is Aurora, right?” Odetta needs to confirm.

“Yeah, call me Rora if you wanna.” Rora is a friendly bunny.

“Right, right, right… You two sound nothing alike… That phone shit is still messing with my head.” Odetta sighs in relief. “Ooff, that got sweaty for a moment.”

“What’s this all about?” You’re still concerned. “Are you okay?”

“Calm your boots, kid. A lil’ scare happens to everyone. She reminded me of someone… that damn Maggie…” Odetta sounds a little nostalgic now. This is very confusing.

“Oh! I apparently remind people of old lovers all the time! It’s usually old men who say that to me though.” Aurora is a little confused.

“Don’t know what’s rougher.” Odetta struggles with what’s worse, old people flirting or her comparing Rora to whoever this Maggie is.

“Well, Lil’ O, I helped you yesterday, so I was wondering if you could return the favor.” You get to the point.

“...Let’s go back to memory lane for a sec, didn’t you ignore me for hours?” Odetta deadpans.

“Me? Nah, you were always my focus.” You deadpan back.

“I want a favor in return.” Odetta is the same as Neko, they don’t do good things from the bottom of their heart.

“...You haven’t heard what I need you for.” You point out.

“I’ll do it, smartass. Don’t care what.” Odetta acts like it’s obvious. “I just need ya to arrange me a meeting with one of those judges you guys like to talk about. Sounds good?”

How do you respond?

>Accept. Arrange her a meeting with Constace.
>Accept. Arrange her a meeting with Gerard. She’ll love this.

“Sounds good.” You accept these terms. “You have to be really nice to her though, you promise?” You won’t let anyone be mean to Volleyball head! Now that you’re talking about Constance, weren’t you supposed to talk with Lise? What happened to that?

“You hurt my feelings, Johnny Ando. I’m nothing but the most agreeable woman you’ll ever meet…” Odetta gets all cheeky.

“You’re not even the most agreeable woman in this phone call.” You deadpan. Aurora smiles, she likes being praised!

“It’s all a matter of perspective, I’m going along with your plan, aren’t I?” Odetta grins from ear to ear, and somehow you can feel it. “What’s the deed?”

“I need you to distract someone for a long while, annoy them, if you will.” You adjust your glasses.

“Sounds simple enough. But why am I taking time from this person? What’s in it for ya?” Odetta wants to hear more details.

“So I can break into prison, I’ll leave you with this tidbit. In the meantime, keep an eye on your phone, I’ll contact you later.” You think this is enough.

“I’ll be waiting~” Odetta liked that. She loves being entertained.

Call ends. Hooray! It hasn’t been that bad!

“One more to go…” You’re so close to having all preparations ready.

“Hmm, I wonder why I reminded her of that Maggie.” Aurora ponders.

“Maybe your personalities are similar.” You suggest.

“That has to be it!” Rora nods profusely. Makes you wonder what exactly went through the Blonde’s mind since she’s far too content with your answer.

“To the last of the bunch! Galactic!” You dial the spaceman’s number.

“GREETINGS!” The cheerful astronaut says.

“Hey, Galactic, it’s me, Johnny.” You joyfully retort.

“My fellow [COSMOLOGIST]! To what do I owe the PLEASURE?” Galactic amps up his already high enthusiasm.

“It’s not great that the first time I called you is to ask a favor, but I need your help.” You got to the point.

“What’s a [COMRADE] if not someone you can rely on? [HAEIOU]!” Galactic is willing to lend a hand. “I’m at the STORE if you’re in dire need of [RESOURCES].”

“That’s alright, it’s a bigger favor than a purchase. By the way, my friend Aurora is joining us in this conversation.” You clarify.

“Hiii! Nice to meet you!” Rora matches everyone’s good mood.

“SALUTATIONS! An [Ally]’s [Ally] is a FRIEND to be known.” Galactic is as welcoming as ever.

“I’ll be brief, I need your help for a big plan, we’re breaking into prison, and I need you to distract someone important. Like, as in fighting them.”

“Is this person another [CURSED BEARER]?” The fellow Champion wants to know if your objective is to fight a flame user.

“Yes, he has a flame. It’s a prison security chief.” You explain. “I’m breaking in to help a friend.”

“May I ask for a [SHORT BRIEFING]?” Galactic is oddly interested in this.

“Here I go…” You go over quickly on your plan to break people out of the Shotgun Kiss.

“I have one [HUMBLE REQUEST]. Can we RESCUE another PRISONER?” Galactic plainly asks.

“Huh? Another one?” You didn’t expect this.

“Yes. My COUSIN.” Galactic sighs.

“Kata is in prison?! Did she total her car!?” You can’t believe it! You saw her the other day!

“NEGATIVE. She’s busy picking up [GROCERIES] with me. It’s a different one! Dear Misty!” Galactic would laugh if it wasn't so tragic.

“Oh…” You don’t feel like you can’t say no, but…

Do you help a Calamity break out of prison?

>Duh. You’ll help your favorite psychos! You’ll work this into the plan somehow.

“…But yes, absolutely, we’ll help your cousin!” You promised. “What is she in for?”

“[NO CLUE]. We weren’t informed, or notified of her ARREST. Merely a couple of days ago, [BROTHER BLOODI] found out on his own, we had [BROTHER VICTOR] and [COUSIN MISTY] missing at the same time, the task was DIFFICULT to manage. As per usual, people dragged to this [SECRET PRISON] are reported MISSING until the end of their SENTENCE. The METHODS of the PAST are alive and well.” Galactic doesn’t sound particularly afflicted. “[Cousin Misty] has always been a good-natured prankster. It’s easy to imagine a situation where she was at the WRONG PLACE at the WRONG TIME. But we have [NO CERTAINTIES].”

“That’s certainly mysterious...” It’s hard for you to swallow the fact that this has been happening. It’s not that weird upon further consideration, but life always felt so normal and boring to you — that it is hard to picture people disappearing.

“That’s her NAME. [HAIEOU] [HAIEOU] [HAIEOU]!!!” Galactic has a good laugh.

“Haha, well, I’ll contact you again when we have more stuff figured out.” You’ll work on this.

“This [STARGAZER] is always PREPARED to jump into the next MISSION!” Galactic will be waiting. “SEE YOU SOON!”

And with that, the calls are over…

“He’s so… FUN!” Aurora didn’t want to interrupt! She loves Galactic!

“I know, right?!” You say back. “But we have more on our plate now…” You don’t know how you’re going to tell the others.

“Leave it to me! You, like, stay here and relax.” Aurora walks away from the futon to the others discussing the plan. Half the team groans at the news, they don’t want to pivot the plan again, but hey, that’s what they’re here for! To make the plan sound!

“Done at last?” Suan De sits nearby to talk. She lost interest in the TV.

“Yeah, I’ll have to pay some favors, but I managed to recruit everyone.” You give her the good news.

“...No guesses as to how you managed to band these oddballs together.” Suan De sounds fairly impressed.

“You start by not calling them that.” You half chuckle.

“Do I have to remind you of the codenames we have?” Suan De isn’t amused.

“I was joking.” You scratch the back of your head.

“Regardless. Do you truly feel healthy? Or do I bring you home? Otherwise we should focus on bringing these new recruits here.” Suan De asks you to make a decision.

What do you do? (I’m asking again, damn ties.)

>Go back to your apartment. Tomorrow you decide when the heist begins.
>Stay here. Bring everyone. The Prison Break will be tomorrow.

“Let’s bring the party here.” You stand up. Your body feels fine, there’s no time to waste, tomorrow will be the day.

“Very well.” Suan De is looking forward to this.

Since your little group has nothing else to do, you banded together to find the new recruits. You, Aurora, Suan De, and the Buffalo went on a little adventure together to find Galactic first. He was waiting at the Clinic, and had a truck. The adventure ended there. You used the truck from that point onwards. You and the Buffalo stayed in the back of the truck. When you were 5 years old you believed that trucks were awesome, now they’re the reason you aren’t riding a Buffalo. Literally took the childhood joy away from you. How ironic.

Anyway, on the truck — that, mind you, *doesn’t* have space theming — you all went to find the rest of your allies. You could’ve used your van, but once life strips you of one joy, it never stops until it takes them all. At least you stopped to get Pizza for everyone. It was getting late and everyone deserves a treat for their efforts.

Back at the cramped base, the team is passing over the food as you begin the introductions…

“Everyone has a slice, right?” You forgot to make sure. There are a lot of people in here! You, Scarlet, Vera, Liu, Suan De, the Markgician, Aurora, Susie, Galactic, Odetta, and the Buffalo! 11 people!

“If someone is missing theirs, please, raise your hand!” Scarlet acts like the host too.

“M-Me!” Liu raises her hand like a loser.

“onom onom onom... Delicious… Yes…” A satisfied Vera goes full rat on the pizza. Yes, that includes some squeaking that you’ll pretend you never heard.

“Amusing Pizza? Seriously? Do I have to say this every time? The quality has dropped immensely.” Neko isn’t amused by this choice.

“Are you out of your mind?! It’s succulent trash food.” Odetta defends your choice.

“Those words shouldn’t go together.” Neko frowns.

“I’ll eat your slice if you don’t want it...” Aurora is digging in without any shame.

“NggH, g-get away, it’s all mine.” Neko will eat it though. What a drama queen.

“There’s enough for everyone, [HAEIOU]!” Galactic doesn’t want anyone to be shy.

“Everyone, I realized something! After my last pizza party, I went to jail! I’m doing that again! Isn’t that funny?” The Markgician gets all excited upon his discovery.

“No.” Suan De didn’t want to hear it.

“Seems like everyone has something in their hands.” Scarlet gives you the thumbs up.

“All right, I’ll quickly introduce everyone, we’ll eat, then get on with the plan. Sound good? Because we’re doing this tomorrow.” You explain.

“Sounds great!” The Markgician likes this plan.

“Tomorrow?! T-T-That’s too fast! I don’t even know enough about you pricks!” Susie is panicky.

“D-D-D-Don’t worry, we will team up together!” Liu, who is more nervous than kitty paws, reassures.

“Both are on the verge of a mental breakdown…” Odetta isn’t impressed.

“Do not be AFRAID! Once you pass [one] or [two] of those, your mind will be FREE from ever getting [ANXIOUS] again.” Galactic talks from experience to his future navigators, Susie doesn’t like the reply.

“Moo.” The Buffalo is happy eating the special treats you bought for him. Odetta said she’s going to take him back to Fiora once you’re done tomorrow. He’ll be in your special care until then.

Briefly, you introduce every new member to the cast and eat the rest of the unamusing pizza. With that out of the way, you’re open to answering some questions.

Which question do you want to answer to break the ice?

>Scarlet asks: What will be the new members' codenames?
>Vera asks: Are you going to kiss the best-performing member tomorrow?
>Liu asks: Can you take the paper bag off? What happened to your mask?
>Suan De asks: Where are we going to sleep? The mission starts at 5 AM.
>The Markgician asks: Can I do a couple of my tricks?
>Aurora asks: Are we going to wear special uniforms for tomorrow?
>T_T Neko asks: Should she put her surveying installation inside the truck, the van, or the base?
>Odetta asks: Can she stay in the back? She can annoy her objective as a ghost.
>Galactic asks: Why is there a [BUFFALO] here?
>Write In more questions to answer.

Sorry, everyone, we're stopping here for the day. We will have to delay for tomorrow! But we'll start early, so keep an eye on that!

“I think we’re done, right? Tummies seem full from over here.” You pretend to give a quick glance. The Markgician covers himself, embarrassed. “Good. We’re taking questions now, so if you have any, please, share them with the group.”

“I think we should start with giving our new members their codenames!” Scarlet cheerfully reminds everyone.

“Phrase it like a question, please, Agent Bubbles.” You adjust your glasses. She frowns.

“What will be the new members’ codenames?” The redhead humors you.

“Do we have to?” Odetta doesn’t see the point.

“We have to be discreet.” You retort. “By the way, I already have yours. I think you’ll be Agent Spooky.”

“Agent Spooky?! That’s the best you got?!” Odetta feels offended by the lack of creativity.

“Okay, everyone, you know how these things go, if they hate ‘em, they keep ‘em.” Vera claps like she’s leading the meeting too. “All in favor?”

“Aye!” The group exclaims together through great teamwork for once!

“Agent Spooky it is.” Vera ends this discussion.

“...You’re all a deeply unserious group of people. You know that?” Odetta didn’t enjoy this display of comradeship.

“I’m more aware of that than you could ever imagine.” Suan De says.

“You seem to thrive in this environment, sunshine. Doesn’t seem like it’s an issue for ya.” Odetta sarcastically replies.

“Should Galactic be next? We’re calling T_T Neko by her weird nickname, right?” Scarlet asks you.

“NGGGghhgh… Don’t call me weird, you despicable bubble...” Neko didn’t appreciate it.

“S-Sorry. The point still stands though!” The redhead profusely apologizes.

“I think Neko is a very cute nickname.” Liu doesn’t mind.

“She’s totally a cute kitty! An adorable fur ball!” Aurora agrees.

“D-Don’t make it embarrassing for me…” Neko feels overexposed.

“What a little adorable troublemaker. The great informant, everyone.” Odetta seems to know about Neko as she claps for her.

“Are we revealing identities, Ms. Xi Psi Pi?” Susie retorts with some new found courage.

“People have died when they make that connection.” Odetta grins back.

“Okay! Nobody is dying here! No more troubles!” Aurora is realizing she’s going to take the role of big sister here too. She’s younger than both of the girls she’s scolding.

“Cool, they have history, if only the person who recruited them could’ve told us about it.” Vera sarcastically throws shade at you.

“I had no clue…” You have no clue now still.

“I mean, what are the chances?” Scarlet can’t blame you.

“True, still, next time, I’ll do some background checks.” Vera wants to make sure you’re not bringing sickos here.

“We’re literally the people who bring that information, prick.” Neko deadpans.

“D-Don’t call me a prick, weirdo!” Vera went there immediately. “I can figure it out on my own! It just takes me a couple of days of work, that’s all….”

“Spider Head thinks she can look us up online, how cute and naive! Can someone give Ms. Spider Head a hug?” Odetta mocks.

“Johnny. Johnny should.” Vera wants a hug.

“Everyone. The codenames.” Suan De intervenes to piss off Vera.

“What do you want your nickname to be, Mr. Galactic?” Liu asks politely.

“It might come as a SURPRISE, but as an [Astronaut], it is IMPERATIVE that it be related to what goes beyond the CLOUDS! Something that SPEAKS TO YOUR SOUL, and reaches new HEIGHTS. Let your [EXPANSIVE MIND] TAKE CONTROL.” Galactic wants something really cool. “A SUCCESSFUL [SQUADRON] is a CREATIVE [SQUADRON].”

“Major Tom!” The Markgician suggests.

“Oh! I get it!” Scarlet finds this one great!

“Works for me!” Liu agrees to it too!

“...This HUMBLE [SPACEMAN] has no complaints.” Galactic nods. You find it funny how he has to bend half of his body to nod with the suit and all, it’s more like a bow.

“There we go, all figured out!” You clean your hands.

“I have a question!” The Markgician raises his hand.

“Yes?” You give him the word.

“Can I do a couple of my tricks?” The Markgician wants to do a show now that everyone is here.

“Sure, the floor is yours.” You think this will raise morale! Suan De wanted for you to decline. “But before we start, are you sure you want to go as the Markgician? Everyone knows you by it, so it won’t do much.”

“What do you suggest?” The Markgician is open to ideas.

“Mark.” Vera deadpans.

“Huh, that isn’t going to work either, silly!” The Markgician laughs, joke went over his head.

“Yeah, duh! How stupid can you be?” Aurora laughs in Vera’s face too.

“How about… Mage?” Scarlet suggests!

“...These two [SQUAD MEMBERS] lack [CREATIVITY].” Galactic is worried about the mission.

“I-I’m joking! I’m not dumb like Vera!” Scarlet defends herself.

“I was joking too!!! And I was *actually* funny!” Vera can’t believe everyone is so stupid.

“Cope.” Odetta sneers.

“Shut up, Spooky.” Scarlet frowns.

“Yeah, shut your mouth, Spooky.” Vera puts her differences aside to dunk on Odetta.

“Mage it is…” Liu writes it down without even calling for a vote. It's the right call since nobody seems to care.

“Let’s cool off this crowd with my magic show!” The Markgician is ready to do his show!

“You know what cooling off the crowd means, right?” Vera can feel it, this will be dumb.

“The heat is for the kitchen, Magic is cool.” The Markgician raises an eyebrow.

“...I already hate this set.” Odetta is tough.

“No card trick works with me. Just sayin’.” Susie will be the judge, and as always, she’s a harsh critic. “You screw this up, and I’ll never forget.” And by the looks of it, the entire crowd will be tough.

“I-I wasn’t going to use cards!” The Markgician lies. You can see him hiding the cards deep in his pocket. “I guess I’ll have to resort to the classics!”

“Wait, you don’t mean—” At that moment, you realize what was going to happen. You asked him not to, but there’s no bigger fear for an act than bombing, and he did it without thinking…

In his hands… The Markgician has someone’s underwear…

Whose underwear did he take?

>Scarlet.
>Suan De.
>Liu.
>Vera.
>Odetta.
>Aurora.
>T_T Neko.
>Galactic.

What’s next?

“TA-DAH!!!” The Markgician proudly points at his bounty. Liu awkwardly claps until she realizes nobody else is doing it.

“That’s a new way to bring out the dirty laundry...” Odetta is unimpressed.

“Ew, people usually bring out flowers. What’s this? Why is this happening?” Vera doesn’t like this one bit.

“Flowers? That’s antiquated crap. Never do those types of tricks, kids.” Odetta is probably thinking about Fiora.

“I-It’s not mine! I took it from one of you!” The Markgician explains the great part of his trick.

“A magician shouldn’t tell their secrets...” Aurora grumbles. She feels like that’s something her sister Bruna would’ve said.

“It’s not impressive otherwise!” Mark points out.

“M-Mark, I told you not to do that.” You think he forgot as he panicked.

“Oh, it slipped my mind.” The Markgician sounds apologetic but doesn’t apologize.

“Uhm, whose underwear is that?” Liu asks the real questions.

“…” Scarlet touches her bubbles. “Not mine!” She sounds relieved.

“Pffft, to take it from someone wearing a skirt would be too easy!” The Markgician wouldn’t target someone easy.

“In that case…” Vera seems to have figured out what happened.

“Say it! Say it!” Neko is desperate to know.

“NO NEED.” Galactic rises from his cushion seat. “IT... belongs to this [STAR EXPLORER]…”

“WHAT?!” Aurora, Liu, and Scarlet can’t believe it!

“Moo?!” The Buffalo didn’t see it coming either.

“I-Impossible…” Odetta is having a hard time grasping it as well.

“Even with the suit?” Vera knew but finds it unbelievable.

“[AFFIRMATIVE]…” Galactic nods.

“Hehe…” The Markgician strokes his mustache.

“...That’s a little impressive.” Suan De can’t fathom how he’d done it. “Disgusting on every level, but impressive nonetheless.”

“This is totally a sign we should tie him up so he doesn’t try that again, right?” Scarlet asks the rest of the group.

“HUH?!” Mark didn’t see this coming. “I already paid my dues for all my crimes!”

“You escaped jail.” You point out. “Anyway, give it back to Galactic, and let’s call it a day. We need everyone here at 5:30 in the morning, so be punctual. And, huh, I’m taking the Buffalo with me.”

“Moo!” The Buffalo is happy to come along.

“Anyone who doesn’t think they can make it in time, you can stay the night here! There are enough sleeping bags for everyone here!” Scarlet throws out the invitation.

“This HUMILIATED [STAR EXPLORER] will be [OVERJOYED] to drive everyone HOME, if they so DESIRE.” Galactic offers a ride for everyone.

And that’s how the gang splits for the night. Galactic will drive Neko and Odetta home. You, the Buffalo, and Suan De will return to the apartment. Scarlet, Vera, and Liu will stay the night. Mark just disappeared without leaving a trace… he left a card written with the announcement of his return tomorrow.

“Ah, welcome back, oh brave Buffalo.” Ichie welcomes your animal pal into the apartment. “And everyone else as well!”

“Moo!” The Buffalo is happy to be here. You have no idea how he got inside.

“Meow.” Bradford Jr. jumps on the back of the wild animal and makes his rest spot.

“…” Ruby hadn’t seen the Buffalo before and is therefore speechless.

“No time for chit-chat. We must go to bed.” Suan De beelines to the comfort of the bed.

“...This doesn’t deserve an explanation?” Ruby points at it.

“We’re on the same wavelength, Ruby!” Ichie agrees. “Why are you wearing a paper bag, oh dear teacher?”

You’re going straight to sleep after this...

How do you respond?

>“Oh right, it’s useless now.” Take it off and go to sleep.
>“People are weak to my charms, I live a difficult life.” Explain, then go to sleep.
>“I think Ruby is talking about the buffalo.” Deflect, then ignore Ruby’s question. You have to sleep.
>Write In.

It’s almost time! What do you do?!

>Pep Talk a member who looks especially unsure of themselves. (Write In.)
>After waking up, prepare breakfast for everyone! For morale!
>Get awfully interrupted during your sleep by an annoying force.
>Write In.

“Oh right, it’s useless now.” You pocket your paper bag. Freedom at last! “Ah, much better.”

Both hobos’ minds get overworked to the point of malfunctioning, their face cheeks turn pink in the blink of an eye.

“…” Ichie slowly nods with her mouth open, a fly might land on her tongue if she stays like this.

“...Johnny.” Ruby is speechless once again after saying your name, and then follows Ichie’s head movement. They’re stuck! Suan De shakes her head in disappointment. You can’t help them now, you gotta go!

“Night, Agent Beef.” You pat the Buffalo’s head. Bradford Jr. takes the opportunity to jump from his back to yours. He’s joining you on the bed.

“Moo.” He licks you back a little.

“Night, Ichie.” You pat her head too!

“...Teacher.” Ichie is at a loss for words too.

“Night, Ruby.” You kiss her on the redhead’s rosy cheek.

“...Johnny.” Ruby is melting inside.

“And night, Suan De!” You nod at your Slob Dragon.

“…” The Slob Dragon nods back.

With the pleasantries done, you beeline back to the bed, your alarm will set off incredibly early, but you’re in bed at a fortunate time after ages, so it should cancel out. You aren’t anxious enough to stay awake all night, right? Maybe you should follow Galactic’s recommendation and have a mental breakdown to ease your worries. Either way, it was easy for you to fall asleep quickly due to the fact that the plant recovery — in some way— pre-relaxed your muscles. You and Philonune have one hell of a mission to endure tomorrow.

It’s Saturday, the 1st of July! Well, barely! It’s 4:00 AM! It wasn’t much of a hassle to wake up this early, so you have a good feeling about today. This should give you enough time to arrive at the base with breakfast done. As soon as you step out of the room, you realize that those two dummies are still in the living room! They’re really stuck! You had to pick them both up and leave them in their beds so they can actually sleep. Ruby clutched onto you, but you easily outmaneuvered her to leave her to rest, she probably had a nightmare or something.

After that, you prepared a nutritious breakfast for at least 12 people, a buffalo, and a cat. You’d say you have never prepared this much food before, but food portions became irrelevant to you a long time ago. By the time you were done, Suan De was awake, and with her help and the Buffalo, you took all of this food back to the base — and surprised everyone there with it! And surprised everyone who was arriving later too! It was a bigger hit than you were expecting thanks to the fact that none of you agreed when you were going to chow down on some food. Another successful breakfast under your belt.

Even as you say this, the snacking isn’t done, Galactic was the only one who felt the need to rush it to be available to drive you all in his truck. The munching continues inside as you abandon Pokyo Lokyo proper…

You’re on the outskirts of a gated community, by the looks of it, this is the place where all people involved in the secret prison live. It’s straight out of a military movie. You’d be part of the cast too since you’re wearing Guard Uniforms.

“Park here, Galactic.” Vera tells him to stop driving.

“This is where we’re going to split. You five will ride Agent Beef to the bridge, and from there, Agent Mage will guide you through the tunnels.” Scarlet points at You, The Markgician, Aurora, Suan De, and Odetta. “Agent Major Tom, go over the fence, and reach house 5051 to find the Security Chief.”

“[AFFIRMATIVE].” Galactic nods.

“The rest of us will stay here.” Scarlet looks at Vera, Liu and Neko.

“Nggh, I can’t believe I’m the one driving us in case of emergency…” Neko doesn’t like the responsibility.

“S-S-Should we go over the plan one last time before we start?” Liu wants the reassurance, she’s really nervous, but has a stress ball just in case!

“We already know our roles.” Suan De doesn’t see the point. “You’re not on the field, calm down.”

“I-I thought doing my second mission would be less nerve-wracking!” Aurora is trying to keep her cool.

“There’s nothing to worry about! It’s not as difficult as it seems!” The Markgician is awfully confident.

“We’ll have eyes on you with our *secret* cameras.” Neko put the Cat Cameras in your uniforms. They have screens to see everything too.

“Yeah, good luck infiltrating the place and all that, I’m gonna take it easy inside the Buffalo. Bless my Astral Projection.” Odetta isn’t sweating it.

“I told you that you can’t do that until much later! I can’t communicate with you if you’re a ghost! You have to actually get in there!” Vera complains.

“Regardless, the time has arrived everyone.” You adjust your glasses.

First objective?

>Find Crossbill.
>Find Misty Calamity.
>Make a deal with the guy Agent Mage talked about.
>Write In.

“Is everyone ready?” Suan De asks the crowd.

“Moooo!” The Buffalo jumps out of the truck with the same grace he had when he went over the fence, and looks back when he lands.

“S-So majestic…!” Liu is in awe.

“...Seriously, I can’t believe we’re using the Buffalo for this.” Vera doesn’t want this to go unnoticed. This is too stupid for her.

“His codename is Agent Beef, Agent Cheese on Wheels.” You tell the maniacally angry girl. “Anyway, let’s go! Let’s do our best!” You call over the crew as you follow the Buffalo’s lead.

“WHAT A [JOYOUS OCCASION], [TODAY], WE LAUGH IN FAILURE’S FACE, [MY FRIEND]! [HAEIOU, HAEIOU, HAEIOU!!!]” Agent Major Tom fistbumps you before going on his merry way.

“Yeah, let this show full of surprises begin!” Agent Mage starts playing with the different gadgets he brought in rapid succession as he steps out. It’s far more impressive than the underwear steals.

“Wait! Phil Noon! Do you want another kiss of good luck? It worked last time!” Agent Honey Bunny trails behind.

“I feel optimistic. We’ll succeed. Won’t we?” Suan De feels stupid for having confidence as she also steps out of the vehicle.

“We better, but I wouldn’t mind finally burning this place down once and for all...” Odetta grins.

“NgGgH, she has history with this place and didn’t tell us about it!” Neko doesn’t like that party members have secrets.

“C’mon, Liu! Now!!!” Vera puts on a special headband that says Go, Johnny! Go!

“Y-Yes!” Liu puts on her headband too.

“We frickin’ love you, Johnny! Bring them hell!” Vera cheers you on. “Liu! The heart pose! He needs all our support!”

“Boom!” Liu follows her eccentric friend’s lead.

“You guys can do this! We know you can!” Scarlet cheers everyone on! She poses too! “Bring Crossbill back!”

“And Mama Bodil!” Vera shouts!

“And Misty!” Liu feels like she needs to shout the last one.

“We will.” You wave goodbye at the ones staying in the truck one last time before things get interesting…

Sadly, this is all we have for this week’s thread! Thanks for playing and see you next time!
