If they asked why you went to them, tell them it's because they were the closest. Then walk out and try the door on the right. If they can't understand you just act like they did and leave anyway.

Fortunately, she’s just a few meters away, and she’s… paying for chicken?

“See?” Dotti says. “I have a job. I get paid. I eat cooked chicken!”

She piles the drumsticks into her mouth.

The Censor and I both sigh.

“Ginerva,” she says, suddenly more understanding of my plight.

“Nikki,” I reply.

We make idle conversation as we go to the laundromat. I think we’ll do fine, but still, I don’t want to have Dotti lose concentration, so as soon as we arrive we shove our laundry into the multi-currency-accepting machines and hurry to get our load going. Once that’s done, I grab Dotti by the ear (she’s still eating the chicken) and guide her to a changing room where we can hide until the load is done.

I open the door to the changing room. It’s unlocked, but OH NO

The many-legged creature stares, unblinking. I know I've seen things like it, but... they're small. Not this large. Far too large. Overgrown.

Raises and waves its forelegs, rocks back and forth. Some strange dance.
Try to approach but it snap jumps into the bushes long before I close. Lost sight.

Freezes. Eyes dart to me. Wide. Tremble. Smell of panic.

Then snaps back as if nothing happened. Silence.
Yellow remains.

"Are you alright?"
"I I- sorry Yes I sorry am Thank you Fine. Fine. Fine. I am fine. Are you?"
"Head hurts a bit. Smell's back, must've knocked loose the clogs in my nose. You got any clue what it was?"
"No. No. It came from the captured ship the docks would know I, I, no I don't I don't know. From the depths. Black. Nose aches."
"You want me to go after it?"
"N No. It, it's terrible, you don't, I , no. Don't touch it. It's fine you just recovered It's fine. Is there anything else you require?"

Okay then I guess her eyes are light purple. It's the same underlying cause- lack of the usual pigments. Often they lack pigment entirely which results in them being the same color as blood, whatever that is to you... but apparently purple and grey are possible colors as well.

Staggering to your feet, you stumble over to Cedric. Lisel is trying to help him up, but he won't be able to put weight on those legs anytime soon. You manage to support him between the two of you. Rushing down the vent you can hear the house mouse muttering "Just want to get out just want to get out just want to get out."

The shrieking spider doesn't react as Kh'khechil grabs her from behind. She just keeps screaming, only falling silent when Dis plants the long knife in her neck. The beetle drops the body and moves to check the half-squirrel's stomach wound but she waves him off. "Help them." So instead he catches up with you. Seemingly effortlessly he tucks both Cedric and Lisel under his arms and sets off at a dead run, chitinous feet making a steady drumbeat on the metal as he vanishes into the dark.

You look back, worried Dis might be sacrificing herself. She has a rag in her hands, which she's mashing into the spider's sizzling, luminant throat wound. Taking this, she runs a few paces to the east and smears a patch of glow on the floor. Then she wads the rag into a ball and hurls it down the passage, where it sits like a distant dim star.

She starts sprinting back towards you so you turn to flee as well. Behind you the harsh light of the lantern cuts off with a click. In the sudden pitch black you can hear as Dis swiftly catches up to you, and together you run from the gathering skittering behind you.

As your eyes adjust to the dark you can just make out the bulk of Kh'khechil up ahead. He's alone in the scant light that drifts down from the hole to the dining room. Before you can wonder where the others are he roughly grabs you, scruff and tail like hoisting a sack, before spinning around and heaving you up through the ceiling. Dis joins you a moment later, followed by the beetle hauling himself up. He scoops Cedric into his arms, and the rest of y

No one speaks as you all rush across the still and silent room. In the curtain-filtered gloom you do your best to navigate the brittle minefield of fallen plaster chunks. You're halfway across the carpet when a too heavy footfall sends a spike of pain up your spine, causing you to miss your next step and collapse. Everyone freezes as you snap a sheet of plaster as wide as yourself. The air seems to close in on you as the room grows even more silent. The muffled voice that slipped in with the light through the cracks in the ceiling has stopped.

Oil lamps flare to life around the room as a ragged hiss comes from somewhere above you. "This room. This Room! Who dares. Who has the gall]\ the sheer temerity to remind me! The humiliation."

Along with the voice comes a rattling. Previously unseen at the ceiling, dozens of grisly puppets of bone and ragged fur descend on wire. They alight just above the carpet, slumping and leaning like drunks. It would almost be comical, were it not for the ragged teeth and glinting knives on display.

Muffled behind the kitchen door you hear the same high pitched voice shriek "Guards! Interlopers most foul! In the dining hall. Bring them to me. NOW!"

Dangling corpses drift towards you, long disused pulleys shrieking far above. At least ten hang between you and escape, ten more cutting off retreat. Three particularly ghastly ones wielding sharp serving forks block the way to the dining table.

As your group huddles together in the shadow of the serving cart, the scattered circle of rotting servants draws tighter and tighter.

other than that, try convincing your new friend/love interest that school is for fools and life is for the living. and milkshakes are yummyyy

"Can you die quietly?" Haze asks.

Goosebumps crawl along her bruised skin as the cold air hits. She looks better like this, something closer to real. As an archangel, she isn't allowed to have scars or blemishes. A divine mistake you like to correct.

Teethmarks dot along her shoulder, framing where your blade had first stabbed her. The shallow wound still pulses, wet, and leaking a bit every time Haze tenses the muscles. You briefly consider shoving your fingers into it. Haze's pain receptors have dulled from years of abusing healing potions and repeat confessionals, but she would still feel that.

It'll be a tight fit.

The noise she'd make would be as good as any choir.

"No thanks."

Haze, is of course, expecting you both to fuck. You normally would agree, if the uncomfortable tightness in your pants had its say, but you're on a strict deadline. You think. You're not really sure where Eiko is at on the plan. If there even is a plan anymore.

Tempt her into helping Eiko. Tempt her with your own compromises.

Then, when she's upset, turn the tusslefuck back on with a quick turn being on top, avoiding directly going after the obvious pain-pleasure triggers. Don't use much stamina, make her work for it. Once that's done, make her feel guilty for not finishing the job.

If they've detained her on suspicion of conspiring with rabbits, any direct attempt by rabbits to help her will confirm those charges. She'll be on the run with Rudger for the rest of her life.

>There has to be a way to help Lucy
I’m not sure there’s a feasible way for us to free any women at this point, much less a reptile that my brothers don’t know or care about. This whole chameleon plan has been making me terribly anxious. If it goes wrong, we’ll have to flee. We might even get hurt so badly we can’t flee.

I grip the branch I’m stripping of bark and bonk it against my head. Sky looks up from his sticks and the rope.

“Sky, what’s our back-up plan? What happens if we can’t capture this guy and they find our burrow? We’ll have to leave and we might not ever be able to come back.”

“Then we’ll leave. We can travel around and look for wild rabbits, the weather’s warm enough that we don’t need a permanent burrow to survive.”

“But what if someone’s hurt? What if Gargill keeps hunting us?”

“They can’t chase us forever, it’s not worth it for them, costs too much. We’ll be okay, Rudger. I’m sorry you’re having a hard time right now.”

I take a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. “Yeah. Thanks.”

remove the collar for today. Hide it somewhere. reasons: if the plan fails and the chameleon gets away, they will have evidence that you as Lucy's "pet" was in cahoots with the bnuuy resistance, and thus she will probably be executed for allying herself with them.

Secondly, the chameleon is looking for wild rabbits anyways. He's probably not going to be too dedicated to hunt down anyone perceived as a pet

Thirdly, Lucy's friend might spot you if you wear the collar.

>>1124284
Good calls. There's the risk he shoots at you, but if he's at all smart he'll try to track you back to the others and bag the whole bunch. I think the gamble is worth it to avoid implicating Lucy. It's the least we can do on our end.

The box feels a little heavy in Sam’s hand. The placement of the knobs and latches makes it difficult to get a good grip on the thing. In the near silence, a quiet tapping comes from within.

Sam quickly unlatches the end panel to find nothing inside. Opening the other panels reveals the same interior. The tapper is nowhere to be seen.

Sam leaves and joins the others.

SIMONE: “Heya. What’s that?”

SAM: “A box. It’s empty.”

JURIST: “Hmm. It is too shallow here. Too bright. The Daughter will not find this bird far from its nest.”

The box is much lighter now.

It sounds like the jurist is saying it will cone back after you go down the well.

I suppose now is as good a time as any to ask Uberto what he thinks of crow visions, and where to go from here.

If there was information on everyone's crimes available they'd know what you were here for. Or maybe they do know and they're trying to find out *why* you did it. Ask if there's a public registry of crimes of those aboard. It would save you some time.

Tell them you're no golem supremacist. What you did was... more personal than that. Bring up that Roderick said you shouldn't mention violence around Prescissa... but you think Roderick is a compulsive liar. They certainly seem to have lied about not being violent. Does Prescissa actually have any hangups? Topics you should avoid?

Check out that net. Is it a fishing/trawling net? That'd make sense.

It's a little unclear what Prescissa did -
"You let prisoners out of jail?"
"If you don't have any control over your life, you're a prisoner!"

Not a direct answer, and suggests a different interpretation. Could mean...getting people fired from their desk job? Inciting a riot? Possibly, kidnapping, or something else that could be viewed as "liberating those without control"?

Not that we have to ask right now, as stated.

Well, this character seems more straightforward and forthcoming.

Let's change the subject and ask what's good for doing around here in the kitchen, and what kind of plans should we make for when we make it to shore.

Rock on, Grail. Rock on.

Well, hurry up and rot faster!

So we can play as the moss dryad that grows out of you.
