We walk until the clouds thicken around the Censor war parties. I hear snaps and crackles of magic and wood under tension. My Circle’s treants had bending the enchanted (some would say cursed) hard-shelled nuts, flinging the explosives high and fast into the air where they burst into thousands of bits of shrapnel. If Apricot had been flying through this…

No. She’s not here. She won’t have to fight my people if I have anything to say about it.

There were seven summoned celestial griffons that converged here, each carrying about three or four Censors. I get a few glimpses through the treeline and can only count that five griffons remain. Those that came too close to our lands have learned the hard way that the Circle’s reach is long.

Ailín leads me to the hilltop where the defense is being led by my brother. He stands surrounded by squad leaders awaiting orders, each commanding a reserve of rangers. I finally get a clear view of him, and…

This is my little brother Cici?

He’s grown taller. Harsher. Leadership has ground away at his features, building muscle and lean angles where any softness might have lay. Before I was exiled, I was taller, but now he has grown just a little above me.

I am forty-three years old. Ciarán is three years younger than me. The elves of old would barely see us as capable of making our own decisions, let alone guiding our people, but here we are.

The squad leaders are relaying information about how the Censors have used slow-fall spells to land safely on the ground after their griffons were shot down. I hear a deep voice, so unfamiliar, commanding to hunt down the survivors and bring them to our camp. My little brother, so eager to prove himself, is gone. In his place is a man whose course is written in the lines across his face.

He embraces me.

“I’ve been so worried for you,” he says, truth poisoning his words.

How dare he?!

I blink rapidly, forcing tears from my eyes, frustration and fear and anger boiling within me, freezing my arms, tension in my entire body.

My mental link with Taranis fills with concern, and I instinctively push him away. No, my mind rebels. Keep watching. I need your eyes. Please.

I realize I’m shaking as he holds me.

“You’ve returned, sister,” he says, too loud. A performance. “Safe from the outsiders at last. Alone for so long, away from your people, I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been. But at last, at long last…

You’re home.”

A small clamor amongst the Circle. Is it true? I’m welcome here? Even after all my failings?

He whispers in my ear as the possibilities flutter in the air, before crashing to the ground.

“Mother’s spirit ordered you to kill me, didn’t it?”

1. She did
2. It did

That's an oddly specific question to be asking us. What made him think we spoke to mother's spirit? There could be multiple reasons why we could have come here, and he specifically gravitated towards that. Careful, he might have already gotten information from their interrogation with Serah or Landi. Keep in mind what we shared with Landi and Serah in future conversation.


2. Anyway, if we want to keep his guard down and think we're on his side, the best way is to pretend we are like-minded and call mother's spirit an "it"

Don't play his game.

Tell him to ask you that again, louder. So everyone can hear.

2) if thats the phrasing he's using then go with that.

Alright, let’s see our notes now.

1. Maeve Greer is destined to die if she continues her ways.
→ 2. Therefore Jason breaks up with her in an attempt to set her straight, but it would further her addiction without him.
→ 3. Therefore Jason tries to understand her past, but confronting her folks may not change her future
→ 4. Therefore ???
→ 5. Jason sees Maeve in a timeline where she’s clean. He’s content that somewhere in the multi-verse there’s a Maeve who’s happy and safe.

Things are becoming clearer, and I could clean up that remaining step to refer to a newfound purpose Maeve could discover. Like the segment of learning to play guitar earlier.

Hrmm...

For the first time in my career my fingers start to hurt. I’m almost... happy about that. I should take a little break. It’s already been an hour of writing.
>a. chat with a coworker (Bo, Roy, or even Dolly)
>b. text one of your friends
>c. eat some lunch
>d. too much momentum. Finish the last bit now!

Ask them to explain how to play crow-kay while observing your surroundings. Look for any weaknesses in the security of this new area. Still, play along with this monstrous show until an opportunity appears for freedom.

Pertinent questions:
- Who you are expected to be, since you know nothing of these kingdoms or your own 'barbaric' nation.
- What's the deal with the blue-eyes and their... Elixirs.
- What kind of 'script' or 'play' this whole thing is supposed to be? Does it repeat?Improvise constantly?
- How long has this been going on?
- The King's (or Masters) moods, sanity, mannerisms.
- Before your capture you witnessed a 'very round Vole'. Who are they?
- Any other creatures besides rodents, bugfolk, spiderfolk and bats in House Cadvere?
- How'd they figure all of this out or assume their role?
- Is there any signs of this play, or the Kings sanity, deteriorating or getting worse (i.e. time pressure)?

A debrief from Lisel on what happened after you blacked out would be a good start, we've already seen Dis, but any clues of what happened to Cedric or Kh'khechil?

Some things to ask Juan:
-General layout of the kingdom, any known entrances, number of guards and location of guard posts etc.
-Any chance of recovering our gear and weapons, or how to go about acquiring new stuff?
-How quickly and severely is disruption responded to? For example if we were caught in a restricted area, would we be cautioned, detained or executed?

Also, while we have no reason to distrust Juan, we also have no reason to trust him either. Be very cautions about sharing information with him, especially anything regarding the woodshed settlement.

As if you may walk the princess around. Gust to get to know her a little bit.

B.

Is that so…”

D for Dama! But only just long enough for him to notice. That way, he might go off to gossip about the strange face Dama just made to somebody else! It might even get other gossipers off of him because it'd be more fun to speculate what could have possibly made him make such a face instead of asking directly! Always planning ahead, that Dama!

Now's a good time to us your PUSH ability to finish it off. We can take it apart, and use the scrap metal for our blacksmith spider to make stuff out of!

Or Push the eye to squash it

While you are at the library, why not look up books that might interest you (or have high ratings online) and borrow one to read?

Probably one that won't trigger negative thoughts, that won't be too long/exhausting to read in your spare time, or one that you can focus on when you want to just drown out negativity for a bit. It's also a form of change.

Any genre you like? Comedy? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Comics? Something else? You could ask the polite librarian or Swiss for a recommendation.

Okay Jayden needs to do the serious looking at the computer or i Maya will just get distracted by flashy games and doujins like a of a small chunky cute cat getting wrestled into chokeholds by dogs

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else think Maya and Jayden should hold hands and kiss?

I feel dumb.

What happened to Maya's backpack? Does she still have it? was it left in the car or lost somewhere when she fell out of the car?

What will become of Jayden's car? Is he insured? Did he remember to grab his phone? Does he have any accumulated vacation days to deal with his loss of transport and whatever adventure he'll end up getting into with Maya? I the worse case scenario, could he sell his car for scrap and buy a used car? I don't remember what form of currency the animal people use, so I'll assume it's the dollar or pound, and that they haven't had to deal with inflation as of late, so at most Jayden might have to shill anywhere between 1-3k for a used car of good quality off of Craigslist or an online market?

Will Jayden recover all of his belongings from the interior of his car (glove box, trunk, center console, etc.)?

>>1132014
The car is not Mayas problem, nor a reason to overthink it (does a pedestrian getting hit by a car worry about the car being damaged?). That's what car insurance clerks are paid to do.

Getting the backpack is valid though. Maya last had it before getting in Jadens car, so its likely still there, probably in the back seat. Swiss/Jaden could help fetch it maybe?

Everything feels like it just flashes by. First I’m in the jeep, then I’m getting in the car with Judith-

Babs: “Name of the patient PLEASE.”

Kaari: “Huh?”

Judith: “You okay there? You keep zoning out on me. We’re in the waiting room at the hospital.”

Kaari: “Waiting room?”

Babs: “Listen, if you want to visit someone I need to know the NAME OF THE PATIENT. You’re holding up the line.”

We look around and there’s no one else in the room.

Kaari: “Her name’s Lana, big purple panther that just got hauled in here.”

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

Try to admit yourself as a patient. That bear did try to attack you, and maybe she hurt you without you realizing it, you can ask for a checkup there, and even if there is no physical pain, you are suffering from PTSD from what just happened, and from the bar. And if that doesn’t don’t work, you were suffering from fleas, you could check and see if you got diseased from that, though that is a long shot. Perhaps one of the doctors you get can show empathy and allow you to see Lana.

If all else fails, ask Judith if she has any place you could spend the night.

Immediate plan: move off to the side out of the way, stay in this lobby until they kick you out.

while waiting, ask Judith if she knows somewhere you could crash for a night. Or do you have anyone from the bar's number?

Call one of the band members number and see if they can let you spend the night, they owe you one.

That is an uncharacteristically hostile clerk. Either she's a very much a hardass by nature, pissed for work-related reasons, you somehow offended her, or she's preventing you visiting Lana on purpose / there's more to this.

Can we contact/know a member of Lana's family (or the 'emergency contact'), or ask for their number?

As for being kicked out of the lobby I doubt she can do that if you simply claim you are waiting for an unrelated friend (whos identity is 'none of your business') in the hospital to leave/chaffeur, and would rather not stand out in the cold when its clearly empty and not disturbing anyone.

The alternative is asking to be admitted as you might be undergoing some kind of shock/trauma/concussion, as you are literally zoning out and were with said patient during a violent altercation. Judith can prpbably play along.

Since Judith is a park ranger she might have outdoors supplies like a warm sleeping bag. You could ask to sleep in her car and be fairly warm and nearby.

As for getting around the clerk, you might be able to wait them out when their shift ends and someone less aggravating is present. Or ask if you can bring them a coffee or something to stay in the lobby at least.

And then there's the option of crashing out, crying and making her look really bad for kicking out a crying, distressed person out for very petty reasons.

And make a mental note to report her for her awful bedside manner.

Rare moment of opportunity for Casey to scissor with herself...

Hey, that means they could change their unglamoured bodies during the year on the ship to look like the three mice... And be able to impersonate them with almost no way to tell. It'd make stealing the Aegis a lot easier. That's a little scary actually, I hope their kind doesn't do that very often.

...oh I just realized, once they're on the boat, the real trio can't allow the Court to know they're still around. They're gonna have to hide for at least a year. Time to get disguises I guess.

ooh, could she mimic Flashing Feather's dicks?

>>1132091
That and the babyweight tends to fill out the hips and butt, providing a good counterbalance to the bigger tits.

>>1132094
The issue there is that the Barge Changelings hive can only adapt to what the mice are as they know them now and have a whole year of change and advenyure they'll experience that they're isolated from, barring scrying.

They can't easily adapt to what the mice become in a years time (e.g. Kasey being a surrogate, any physical, mental or magical changes, codes the mice develop to ID each other, friends/personalities, items that can't be glamoured...) unless they still keep a connection to the mice remotely... But then they risk accidentally mimicking something that differs from their Barge personas (e.g. Kasey becoming pregnant, or a mouse getting seriously injured, would be a hazard to passively mimic on the Barge).

Inner thoughts: The voices are so good at mental torture I should find a way to put them on payroll.

Have you considered that what you have made contact with is the very will of the world itself? The thing that you say governs me and my actions? The very enemy you have worked so hard to rebel against? You should consider this an honor, you finally have made contact with your greatest enemy. Perhaps what you have referred to as The will of the world, is not one singular entity? But many.

And now they've come for you.

Ooh mind screws! Let's tear up this fragile mind! So why do you seek to be displayed with power and glory as you said? From your deep seated issues you seem to have decided to have relevancy which stems from loss of what you had. Which was a clear purpose. Without that purpose you have built one. However you've little care for others in doing so. Likely because you built a world and so see others in a similar way which is to say as lessers because you could create or destroy at whims. However because this world refuses to bend to your whims you see it as an enemy to be dominated. What you fail to see is you can have purpose without domination or power or glory or such things.

Your cake analogy doesn't work. You throw a bad cake out because it can't leave by itself. You could just tell Corax to leave and he would. then you could do something interesting instead. Cause come on, I'm bored here. Aren't you?

Can we hear from Corax then? For someone about to get shot he seems either uncaring or annoyed. You can either shoot him, keep talking to us, or keep talking to Corax. Or relay our questions to him if he can't hear us.

Cake-wise did Corax end up half baked, burnt to a crisp, or are you just very demanding on cake quality like an artist? Was he meant to be enjoyed/shared?

As for leaving, that ain't happening until Corax is shot in the head at the end of this tirade.

Or somehow nobody In an infinite amount of voices bothers to talk further and you either never shoot Corax or you shoot him without our voices.

Ask this person if they are a lucid dreamer.

Introduce yourself as the dream demon and call him a bitch. As for the question ask him, who's your daddy?

Ask what the apartment policy is on leasing to hard-to-scare people

Ask him if he knows Mapa! And about the contract with the tennant, since you are assigned to them and need them alive/not evicted until you are done.

A thought occurs - if your job is to get the tennant to be spooked enough to leave (is it that specific or is your goal more vague?), then he might end up breaking his contract doing so and forefeit his life.

That would mean his contract is scaring him into staying / you and the manager have conflicting goals. Manager either wants tennants to stay for cash, or he wants tennants to die or other bad stuff by voiding their contract.

So what would you haunting someone away do for his tennant contract? Is our successfull haunting gonna kill someone indirectly?

>>1132104
I know we've chosen not to be lewd, but I'll point out that the stockings draw attention to how she's not wearing anything under that lab coat. Moreso if they cover even more of her limbs.

Here's something unique, Eezeryh's abdomen can be decorated by, well in english I'm pretty sure it's called a carpet, but one of the carpet-decorations you'd find on a decorated camel or elephant.
Not that I'm sure that works well without color without a lot of detail work.

should look good, while covering just the right amount of abdomen.
I admit to not having many ideas about the head, people who wear glasses/goggles do not look right without them.
Other than that, cover the arms in that slightly saucy way and get her a robe, is there such thing as an armless robe?

Ooh, Eez would probably enjoy those spiky sunglasses. Let’s give her face some extra flair! (Hopefully they’re just untinted enough we can still see her eyes)

The necklace and collar might be a little much, but I stand by my previous suggestion for earring-esque hoops around her head spikes.
Or at least the pairs that point upwards so the hoops won’t slide off, I guess.

Socks? Yes, yes, yes. All of them. Even some tiny ones for her little belly scythes, can’t forget those.
And for her main body… we already said we’re not getting too lewd, and the fake breasts might look a little absurd on her. But a flirty shirt could still get a good blush on her face!
Maybe instead of “lunch” it’d say “It’s further down than you think” …or maybe that’s too wordy. Something along those lines, at least.

…And we’ll just conveniently forget to give her any pants/covering for her underside. No big deal for a bottomless enthusiast like her, right~?

>>1132111
Hm, yes. Somehow clothed everywhere except the lewdest places.

Exquisite! That collar will show everyone that our lovely red bird belongs to us, and no other bloodsucking vampire or agent can lay claim to her! A little tag to match our mask, and it would be perfect!

Now, how else should we decorate our new toy? It's an age-old "corrupted heroine" tradition to put her in something even more revealing than her regular outfit already was. Let's have fun showing off how pretty our pet is. All the other wrestlers will be jealous!

Ah, but if we have too much fun while she's under our control, the audience might never forgive us. We can't keep the wrestling world safe under our rule if they hate us too much to fear us. And Nacha's redemption arc wouldn't go over well with the audience if they don't see her resist temptation at least a little. But she's so tall and pretty, and so delightfully obedient, it would a shame to miss out on a chance to play when it's so much fun. Hmm...

How far could we go with Redcap? How far should we go?

Things to try remember:
- Listing/naming each color and a clear example of it you've seen or remember so far.
- Any reflexive, automatic or familiar hand motions. Something you can do with your eyes closed, sort of. Most likely writing or part of daily routine.
- Does your vision seem different if you close one eye and keep the other open, or is it 'normal' for both eyes?
- Do you remember how one 'catches' the Fog, or if they can catch it again? Ask bro about it. And if anyone who goes blind from it survives, or if it gets worse than blindness.
- What are Skerries?
- Listen for a while. Do you hear birds above or animals that are familiar?
- Do you remember what creatures live in the water? Which are harmless, edible (tasty), dangerous?
- Do you remember how to swim (e.g. swimming motions)? So you don't drown if you fall into the water.

- Talk to your brother about the creature that bit you earlier. Does the place you were bit feel itchy, sore, or such?
- Observe the front and back part of the big boat, those looke like decorations or carvings you might remember.
- Any of the dock houses seem familiar, in case you know people here? Could ask bro directly as well.'Anyone here we know who'd want to know I've recovered from the Fog?'

Stroll on the docks and let sights sounds and smells jog your memories

If I remember correctly, we're here to check out the ship that came in, right? Let's take a look around for it. Or better yet, is our grandfather somewhere nearby? It would be fun to hear his story on how he got the ship.

What about Ruadan? He's a fisherman, right? He's likely to have been by the shore recently. It would be nice to catch up with him. He'll be glad to know we're up and about.

Well, that's three destinations to search for. I guess it's a matter of whomever we find first.

if you could find an office you might be able to find some blue prints that should help actually putting together a boat... speak of which how big of a boat did we want again?

Oh and speaking of the boats, let's scan them and see if anything interesting pops up.

>>1132049
Look around, make sure the building is clear before we start working. Also if we can find any blueprints that'd be great.
Believe it or not, we might be able to help construct the boat. Just gotta take a look at the unfinished model to get a good idea of what kind of boat it is.

>>1132052
Correction, it has to float to get it out of the building and off the island

>>1132055
Alternatively, we just need to be able to launch it. Or carry it to a ground-edge to shove off from.

I'd say fix up the most completed one, and make sure you bring back extra ship parts, you never know when you're gonna have to replace a part.

loudly arguing over what alchemical elixir they can make for a surprise gift for dotti (maybe we can convince them to have Apricot deliver it to her to make the duo feel better.)

Landi is doing science on Serah's breasts for maximizing charm skill.

They’re consoling a still-pretty-upset Dotti! Also because it’s still early, Sera is still in her nightclothes. Maybe Landi is too? If she wears different clothes at night?

>>1131996
>>1132004

Serah wanted to work on her alchemy, and she needed Landi's help, so this is the compromise they reached. Landi stays close for whenever Serah needs her, and Serah lets her practice magic that she would ABSOLUTELY NOT allow Landi to do anywhere other than the privacy of her bedroom.

It's fine, it's not like some random fairy is gonna barge in and see her magically-enhanced knockers.

>>1132011
Oh yeah, that’s right, Apricot accidentally cut Dotti with her sharp talons. Still going with >>1132003 but its more of an argument of what kind of formulas they should create to heal and/or sooth the Dotti

>Ah. Well try not to panic. Its a lot to take in, but we need you to stand down right now. Whatever happened was long before our time.
It looks like the spirit has already calmed down: the creature is free, and neither of the ants seems possessed. Plus, your attempts to make something legible from the combined picture have served as a nice crash course. Now it has become way easier for you to see; you can even decide whose perspective you want to look from.

>Yes, I'm sorry. You're already dead. Your town was attacked a long time ago, I think. Our wielder came here to investigate this house because it's now a place of power. Likely the power is you.
>If you stop fighting us... well, I can't promise revenge since I have no way of knowing if the people who attacked your town are still alive. I'm also not sure if we can promise much regarding the actions of our wielder. I am fairly sure that we can find out what happened here, and maybe there are survivors. Maybe we can get you in touch with them.
— I… Yes, please…

The creature relaxes slightly after seeing the rest of its group free of the ghost’s control. It stops right before the remains and signals for ants to wait.
— So you've managed to calm the ghost down somehow. As it seems, it’s sentient, and it’s neither an elf nor one of their cultists. I was able to hear your words, but I have no idea what it was answering you: retell what you’ve got from it and ask it more questions so we could understand what it even is. Oh, and tell it I’m going to look at what’s inside that locket.

>>1132028
Roger that. The ghost said that some invaders had burned their lord in his own residence. The townsfolk saw a Venaiyan ship on the horizon at that time, and were hoping to hire mercenaries to fend off the invaders.
Before the ghost interrupted us, we were about to say that yes we can read the note. Can you not read it? Oh, what's your name? What are the names of the ants?

Spirit, can our wielder look inside your locket? Uh, he might not wait for us to relay the answer. Also, can you tell us more about what happened to your town? What was the town's name, who were the invaders, and can you remember the year that this happened? And what's your name?
Oh, there was a pot and a note in a chest buried outside your home, what's that about?

Uh, hey wielder, maybe chill out a second and wait to see if the ghost says it's ok; no need to re-upset the ghost by being rudely impatient

its possible opening the locket will release its soul, or otherwise dispel it. Please don't open it just yet.

Spirit is this locket yours? Can you tell us what it is?

What was it that Chirpins said? Lie low and try to avoid strong winds?

While a lot of heroes may have been proud of the actions taken, other heroes besides her brother might not view our actions as good, and any friends or people close to Dizelu might not be too happy with our actions either. Giving a statement or speech will probably just put a target on Fluffy as the person to blame for those people who don’t agree with us, and those people might think we are just giving a statement for attention or glory.

A. Tell her you believe your actions has spoken louder than any words could, and will continue to try to do the right thing to the best of our abilities during your job as a quest delegator

A) you aren't a leader, just trying to do the right thing.
(also don't want to look too prideful in front of the humans)

A) Let's not get involved with this.

Either try a window if escape is still priority, but if the door is indeed budged shut from flood water then making your way to the rafters might be more prudent

Looks like you need to go up. See any ladders or stairs?

head to the next floor. find someone that looks resourceful to help with your escape

Simply walk through the door. It isn't there.

You have to join the crowd on the raised platform. It is the only way to escape the flood, since it is raised.

Guys, could you try to not violate the fourth wall so voraciously with real world concepts that don't fit the setting?

Harsh judgement. Do you have expectations for animated skeletons? By nature they are already a sad existence, so I don't understand why you would think less of someone in this condition being depressed.

You got good information on the main room and adjacents. It should be enough for Eve and Mina to get down to set a defensible position. Doesn't even need to be the end of your scouting, they could stay somewhere you could run towards if something start chasing you.
That is assuming you don't want to lure skeletons for rock throwing from your friends. I still think doing this would be efficient but would also alert Shi'zen.

How I think this should go:
Inform the girls of what you found, in particular the animated skeleton in the corner. They also need to know about Roderick's body because if Mina freak out it's better that she does so up there than down here. Also inform them about Shi'zen smell (my earlier speculation about her leaving was wrong).
Once they understand the situation you can call them down here for backup in case you need. I think they could have a good sigh of the room and the trapdoor skeleton door if they stay near the left brazier. But of course this is a suggestion so maybe they will have a better plan or prefer the stone throwing idea.
With a fallback position stablished I thing you should take a look at the prison and maybe the room with the smoking reptilian lady.

Honestly the jail room has trap written all over it.
And given the types of fucked up magical traps in this place (let's not forget the SUPER curse you got) I'd say don't even risk LOOKING in there until you have other people with you.

Also since it's been brought up. The harmonica seems to have the symbol of Our Boss(I guess?) on it. I know it's his symbol cause that's the same symbol that appeared when you detected magic on Vax.

Not exactly sure what it implies that two of these eldritch gods seemed to have some form of influence over this area at some point in time but it should definitely be noted.

Bring your friends down.
Leave it much longer and theyll get itchy paws and come down looking for you.
We'll prep them to be quiet and pass on the details.
Youre not alone any more.
And even though i think you could take the skelemajigs, its time to practice not taking the world on solo.

Also, looking bold and adventurous slinky.
Youre carrying yourself with more confidence.

I try to make my stuff as in context as possible and try to make my rants grounded in the needs of the person, it was another that went a bit crazy about science and crap, ugh. -Fox

Also agree with the others on bringing the friends down. And that they are friends!

Thinking it's a good idea to bring in the others now.
