You take it slow at first, pushing just enough to get yourself further away and to the closest asteroid, which is still at least 20,000 klicks out, it takes a bit on low power but you get yourself around behind it, no issue.

You push it to maximum throttle and feel yourself sink into the cushions of your unit, you can feel the Gees pushing upon you. Whatever this thing is, it is a monster of a mech. High speed mobility is right, and from what the systems are saying about a safety limiter, you could probably push it further if you disabled those.

It's exhilarating, you always dreamed of piloting a machine like this... you could... take a little more time and attempt to dance among the stars with this, if you wanted.

She didn't get invited in during off-duty hours. It's not exactly illegal to rummage through an intruder's belongings. Make sure she isn't carrying any explosives; she might be selling you a yarn about being frail beyond means to get through the night unquestioned and onto her true objective.

Let her ramble on. See what she says about herself, and stop giving her information on how to spin her story unless she specifically asks for it.

just bring it to her, I mean its not like it could be a threat.
Just let her talk, if she wants. a bathhouse should be relaxing

>>1127026
Agreed.
B3.
Need to make sure you have the right kit without opening it. Its... an excuse to be nosy.
And 3 but encouage her, not just passively listen. Let her share what she wishes and let the stories whisk you away for a little while.
Then, if you dont hear anything that creeps you out and if you dont feel too nervous, maybe if babby kicks, let her feel.

Shuffle through just to be safe. Once done we have an excuse. "Wait did you mean a kit of needles for sewing? Or was my assumption bad?"

note: I'd support pretty much any plan of attack so long as Eiko doesn't try to throw the spear in a way that risks the angel grabbing it out of the air. After all we went through to get it away from them, I do not want to let them have it again.

If the fight isn't over very quickly, Eiko could try teaming up with her GF again and do the dance but more offensively this time since she'll have the spear.

You don't have much time left. Attack the wings, rip them off before Haze calls for reinforcements!

>>1126959
This is a good plan, but do NOT let the angel grab the spear. We need to talk to Eiko and get her head back in the game too.

A) Sure, I will tell the lie about the wound that you made.

B) You have to be delusional if you believe that I won't report you.

C) Sure, I won't report you. (Lie)

Is that you Kenku?

Also B. Tell her “I’d get in a worse punishment for not explaining why there blood all over the table and an injury on my hand. there’s no way I could lie about a knife wound if I tried?”

“Also, I’d be in even worse trouble by the guild if I don’t force a smile towards every hero I have to give a quest to” (smile as you say this to prove a point).

If she attacks you again, just play possum, make her think you passed out/died.

>Kiara's easy to look at. ...Partially because she seems to be the only neumono in the hive that's approximately my height.
For now. Eventually, the influence of your hive's empathy is going to trigger a growth spurt to make you larger so you look more like a Queen.

You need to make a List.
List out what everybody needs, and List out what everybody can do.

I suspect half of your hive members individual problems would dissappear easily... the OTHER half however, will take the help of yourself and the whole hive.
Also, you can't really choose what do do if you don't know what it is you need to do, could they give some amount of description?

We don't have a clear idea of urgency, so go in order of who was mentioned. Kiara, Nellie, and so on. First come first serve.

>delegate?
Sounds like Nellie is gonna do some surveying, considering she brought it up, but she'll need some help to get it done in any decent timeframe.
We need to know who needs help, who's stable, and who's well off. We can *ask* for those in good situations to donate what they can so those who need help can get it, but we need to make sure they don't wind up needing help afterwards due to donating too much; that's not productive. Plus we can't demand a certain amount of tribute or whatever, that'll breed resentment.
We can consider giving the more-wealthy members some manner of compensation for donations. Not sure exactly what though. Authority can't be determined by wealth... priority on making requests of the Queen, maybe? There will be a waiting list at some point, I expect.

delegate information gathering; what housing and jobs are available.

meanwhile you'll be listening to your hive's problems. ordinarily this would be done as they arise but since you're so new its necessary to prioritize. Have those with issues make a list, so you can see what needs addressing first. But you will get to all of it when you can.

Sounds like it's time for the queen to hold court. :P

One backup option is that, with this many people, you could probably BUILD a house in comparatively short order. You would still need materials and a place to build it, though, and it doesn't solve the food problem. But an empty plot of land MIGHT be cheaper to buy than one with housing already on it. I guess construction experience is one thing to look for when you take a census of everybody's resources and skills. Notably, with your diverse backgrounds, seems like you're more likely to have *somebody* with whatever skill you might need, and can teach it to others.

Hmm. You are looking for something different, after all. Smile, as if you are delighted. Tell her you don't like to rob yourself of surprises entirely, and here is the payoff - where you expected only a meal, you get novelty too, and what an impressive first impression...

Or something like that. It is important you compliment her somehow, in addition to giving the impression all is as you will it. That malicious glint speaks to a spirit that hungers to feel superior. Better you choose to give it to her from the position of a peer than have her try to take it from what she sees as a toy. Surely she wants to gloat over her achievements - a fine enough way to get the information on how things have changed. This is her first impression of you, too, and best lay the right foundation. Speak with deliberation, you are out of practice.

Dull, dull, I know, I know. Did you really come here for anything else but to play the same old games? We might as well get what use and what fun as we can out of a new piece, at least.

>>1126943

Times change and businesses change hands as the sands of time flow. Is this person anyone we know? They are most likely someone we have dealings with, probably another member of the Camarilla. Based on her appearance and if she owns this place, I assume she is either a Ventrue or Toreador.

>>1126944
We were obviously a malkavian, why else would there be a lot of other voices.

Well it seems she wants to talk. invite her to join you. get introduced.

I mean, she did show she’s capable by saving our rat friend (give the little guy a hug)
But yeah, I want to see what she can bring to the table besides just sex slave, I mean she can be a slave if she wants, (one that can leave whenever she wants) but I want to know what her resume is that may help our kingdom before we reward her with the position she desires

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) That can be useful to learn more about.

B) She can, but her presence can disrupt our dream visits.

C) No, she can mess up our deal with the dreaming jesters.

D) Other suggestions.

information is useful... but what caused them to stop observing you now?

If her research is going to bring the dream invaders, why don't we just make a shed next to our castle and let her live there while still doing her research. One thing occurred to me Gramleza are you feeling intimidation by this newcomer. You will no longer be the most weirdest person in the castle with her.

C on second thought, it might be a bad idea. Having dream invaders interfere with our dream travels will cause problems with us and whoever’s dream we plan to visit in the future

Alright, shopping! Which of course means haggling, which of course means I need to finally go over dice checks.
As mentioned before, checks in this system aren’t so much about seeing if you succeed or not in a given task but rather more of gauging the consequences for doing said task. When you encounter an obstacle you’ll be given a DC value which is the number of damage dice being thrown at you against one of your stat bars, (in this case it’ll all be financial.) A damage dice is a d8 that has 4 hits, one crit, two blank, and one negate, which cancels out a hit on another dice. Once you’ve rolled the dice and taken your damage, you then succeed over the obstacle. You only fail at a check if you take too much damage to a stat and drop to zero, with consequences depending on the situation. (The other exception is if I think a task is impossible for you to do, but then I just wouldn’t give you a DC to work against.) But yes, you will always succeed at a check as long as you’re still standing. So be sure to take care of yourself to keep those bars up and you’ll be able to accomplish anything!

>How much does a gun cost? [...] You should buy a gun.
Thankfully, you’re actually quite near by an arms merchant! A not-so-friendly tozol scowls at you as you approach. Their customer service is pretty much what you expect.
“whatta ya want?”
You tell them that you’re looking to purchase a gun, or perhaps even two.
“I only sell serious weaponry here.” They reply. “Not toys for the passing tourist.”
You try your best to convince them that you’re also serious and you need to arm yourself for an upcoming job. Unfortunately, they were able to intuit pretty quickly how new to all of this you are and is able to successfully stonewall you with flat rejections.

Okay. I say we get the telescoping shock rod, since it is guaranteed to incapacitate the target, and we scavenge around for some thin wires to create a makeshift garrote. If we want to go lethal, all we have to do is incapacitate and then strangle.

But for infiltration, I think all we need is a good scanner and a drill. We use the scanner to find where the mainframe cable panel is, drill a hole into it, and then stick the data limpet in there. (Any locked doors can likewise be picklocked with a correctly positioned drill) So, buy the polymetric scanner.

Also, get thrifty with your clothes shopping.

What does failing/succeeding a Financial check even do...?
we have like 17 Finance right now...

I'm gonna be honest we shouldn't buy anything without a plan first, and we can't really plan without gathering more information in one way or the other.

a piece of clothing is useful because if you are spotted doing a crime it can be shed after running away so you won't match the reported description.

other than that we don't know what we will need yet.

>>1126976
I forgot to add in the DC explanation that the multipliers in the check signify how much damage each 'hit' on the die does.
>>1126980
A check isn't about success or failure. In the case of financial, it's rolling to see how much that particular item costs. The presumption here being that you're haggling the prices. You only "fail" the check if you run out of money, in which case you just don't get to buy it.

Casey twitches her fingers and pushes her tendril deeper, curling it inward in search of Fennel’s g-spot. The sensation reminds her a little of her first time with Allayne, although the undine's body is much more tangible than a ghost.

There’s a muffled squeak and the elemental breaches the surface, her gills trailing behind her like strips of pale seaweed. She clings to Casey’s shoulders and moans, looking down between them and watching the tentacle at work.

“Ahh~ dat’s so howt! Gweat Wakes, it’s so deewp!”

There’s a bump against the inside of Kol’s belly as he reaches the base of Caleb’s cock. He spreads his fingers out across his pelvis, feeling the blunt tip just beneath the surface. His breath catches as he grinds in place. “Fuuuck, you're so hard~”

“You have no idea. I've been so pent up, you could throw a line over it and moor a ship." The sailor's voice is low and hungry, barely audible over the rush of the waterfall.

Kol pushed gently against the sailor’s chest, “Here, lay back I wanna try something.”

Caleb obliges and leans back against the mossy stone, eyeing his partner curiously.

The mouse plants his feet and braces his hands against Caleb’s chest. He bobs up and down in a squat, testing his balance. Satisfied, Kol closes his eyes and starts to ride: letting his hips bounce on the thick selkie cock as his tail whips up and down in a long sine wave.

“Yeaaaaah, that’s it... Get that fuck’n dick, boy~” Caleb growls. His massive hands reach down to grip his fiancé by the ankles: anchoring him to the ground. "Show me how much you've missed it."

“Deep, eh? I wonder, how deep can you take it?” Casey asks, letting her spell twist around inside the undine. “Let me know if I need to stop~”

Fennel nods and gasps as more aura tendril slides inside her. Casey takes her time, watching as the tip finds new depths to explore and keeping an eye on her partner for any discomfort.

“Dis is fuwn!” Fennel giggles, watching unbothered as the glowing shape continues up past her stomach. “Niwxxy doewsn’t gow dat deewp! She usuwally juwst uses hewr fingewrs~”

Not finding a limit, Casey turns the spell around and doubles back. “You can really take it, eh?”

“Yeawh, thouwgh usuawlly I’m nowt dawt intwo it.” Fennel admits.

“Really? Why not?” The binder asks, hesitating.

The undine shrugs, sending little ripples across her body. “Diwcks awre fuwn but awlsow kindwa mewssy. Cuwm tewnds to be a hawssle to fwlush ouwt when wew’re downe.” She giggles again and confides, “Pwlus, puwssy is reawlly tawsty.”

Just taking a moment to relax on the beach before getting back to my adventure, which I'll be doing The first week of June. If you haven't submitted a save file yet, you only have two weeks to get it done!

>being fat doesn’t really keep you from being someone’s meal.
You misunderstand.

Someone needs your consent to eat you, right? But if they try to eat you against your will, that would be illegal in this city. So they'd need to drag you away somewhere hidden before they can start eating you.

Being fat might make it more difficult for someone to drag you away to a hidden location to be eaten.

Actually thinking about it, being larger than your potential predator would actually be a downside because once they've eaten/absorbed/UB'd/whatever you, you'll have much less room to struggle and much tighter walls pressing in. So the benefits would be outweighed (no pun intended) by the drawbacks I think.

I say we embrace a part time approach to making money in the city, that way we can indulge our various fetishes, meet new people and explore, and hopefully develop our skills a bit before we go in for the Kira.


Also, personal fetish showing, we could always talk to the landlord to see if we can offer our time as his personal assistant? Help keep the property and tenants in check, and have a various horny times with him!

>Hmmm can one escape someone else's stomach while being vored?
We could probably carry something with us that can induce vomiting and pour it out when we end up in a belly.

If we end up going through a different hole, I'm not sure if that would work. It might be painful enough to eject us out and save us.

Inner thoughts: What are you doing Alyosha? You have no ties to this man, you’ve done worse to people and probably for a lot less reasons.

Hmm. "Jailer." An apt term for him I suppose.

No thanks. Go ahead and do it yourself if you want to hurt him, do it like you did with that poor soul. Whatever you do is not on me.

Are you seriously trying to create a straw man argument for why this organization meant to stop beings like you is a problem?

Dear regular, non-evil Maya,

This is all probably pretty scary for you. It all feels so sudden, doesn't it? Like the reigns of your life have been yanked out of your hands, and all you can do is watch as someone else directs it. Well, I want you to know that this is something everyone has to deal with, at least a little bit.
No one likes to admit it, but everyone has thoughts they don't like, or they do things they aren't proud of sometimes. There are a lot of things I wish I had never done, and I don't always have the nicest thoughts, and all I can do is look at myself and say, "I won't make that mistake again."
Part of growing up, Maya, is learning how to learn from your mistakes. It's about understanding that you can change the way you think or act, if you give it enough time and effort.
But becoming who you want to be doesn't have to mean that you stop being who you are right now. Maya, I'd like it if you could write a list with all the things you like about yourself. I'd like to get to know you better.
Today has already been so much, and there's still a lot left to go, but I think you can do it. You're strong Maya, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

I'm rooting for you, kid.

Close your eyes. Shut your ears, hear nothing.
Breathe in, breathe out. Deeply.
It's not real, now, is it?
Well.. if its still there... bigger issues at hand, huh?
Yell for Jaden, maybe?

...In any case... you aren't evil, Maya. that you- is you- projecting what evil is. No one is evil this young. Atleast. We'd like to think so. You're no Innocence, but... you're far from the devil those around you might imply.

Maaayaaaa... come on now, Maya... Let's have just a bit of fun, it's been suuuch a loong stressful- few hours, even!
Let's have some mindless selfcest sex for once!! This adventure is awwfuuully gloomy, c'mooonn.. let's sink, just for a little, inject some possibility traumatizing- definitely fun times into this sorry mess. Not Maya has a point, you know!
Such a shame to let that pretty face of ours be sullied with nothing but sorrow. Let's see some joy.

hey, maya? i think we have to kill yourself.

okay, no, not yourself. not YOU you. but, like. this weird, freaky you that claims to not be you but ill be real im having some *heavy* doubts.

once youve calmed down maybe we can have a cool, imagery-filled swordfight in your mindscape about your clear traumna

that, or thisll just end in weird kinky sex. not gonna lie girl, this may be distressing to hear from an multidimensional entity/alter/splinter of your broken mind/peanut gallery, but neither of those sound like a true loss

Maya, I don't like Not Maya very much.
I don't like all of this very much.

>These "crew quarters" are unlike any barracks I'm familiar with. They seem more like some sort of holding cells.
"The smart-cloth privacy barriers seem unlike to hold anyone but me, and even then, only when unwisely trying to phase directly through." Natalina tries to reassure Cricket. "If anything, that the emergency medical area is so sturdy suggests compassionate or practical design."

>you all were press ganged yourselves, more or less, were you not?
"I suppose needing to avert planetary extinction is a form of duress. Though I do not believe it one our employeer is responsible for. That employment and repayment is offered at all, and that individual have been able to part from our company, feel like crucial differences."

>What's going on with Paprika
Bumping into Reiko later, the arkus is surprised and upset to discover something came distressing close to eating her girlfriend. Who may now be unable to return on her own, cut off across a long stretch of vaccum, preventing Natalina from running off after her, as her instincts immediately begin to clamor for.

Another chainpod docking in the same location would presumably be contaminated with the same smokey air. Can we rig up some kind of portable air canisters, or does the ship have some handy? An air purifier?

Paprika focuses on the floor beneath her for a while. The rise and fall of her chest as she slows her breathing. "Reiko...thanks."

>Not sure if comforted.
Well, she's alive. If the ship also craves Paprika's supple flesh, she can cross that bridge when she gets to it.

>>1126697
>"Oh, that was pretty awesome. ..."
Paprika blanks out most of Reiko's explanation as she tries to ground herself. Something about plushies? She could use something to snuggle right now. "Uh...any idea why the smoke isn't making me cough? I feel weird."

>Bumping into Reiko later, the arkus is surprised and upset to discover something came distressing close to eating her girlfriend.
Paprika's gathered herself a bit by the time Nat comes into the conversation. "Reiko, can she hear me? Please tell her I'm fine. I don't want her to worry. And hey, now we'll have all the centipede guts we'll ever need!"

Can Paprika make heads or tails of the panel she just interacted with, now that she has a minute? Is the air replenishing, or is she on a time limit?

Stuff Reiko said before is starting to make more sense. It's like... there's a printing press, but instead of paper, it prints on oil. Reiko sent a... hungry little caterpillar, through the datasphere, which snuck into the printer's office and stole letters out of the storage tray. Everything but the vowels, let's say. Had to pull that lever to break up the page currently being printed, so the burglar-worm could reach those last few consonants.

Now, when it tries to EAT YOU-EAT YOU-EAT YOU the closest it can get is EA O U-EA O U, and "O" is what you need to breathe, while "U-EA" is the stuff needed for rebuilding a terapede's guts.

Air does seem to be getting clearer... very, very slowly. Or at least it's not getting worse.

Maybe there's an air intake that's gotten clogged. You could speed along the cleanup process by swapping that clogged filter for a fresh one.
>rolled 1
...assuming you can find a fresh one. And don't accidentally break the machine by letting a big whiff of unfiltered smoke into its delicate innards.

Paprika wants to meet this tiny burglar-worm.

>Air does seem to be getting clearer... very, very slowly. Or at least it's not getting worse.
"Reiko, I think I'm good to sit tight. I'm not in any immediate danger, but I may need a ride back. Just be careful, ok? The smoke...well, I feel fine, but it's pretty thick. I think that transfusion did something to me."

>And don't accidentally break the machine by letting a big whiff of unfiltered smoke into its delicate innards.
I won't risk breaking the air-giving machine.

Figure it's safe to say I brought water and snacks on this adventure, so I'm going to take both 10-minute and 1-hour recovery rolls while waiting for pickup.

Paprika sits down, carefully undoes her tight bun and lets her hair fall over her shoulders, down her back, long enough to touch the floor. She lets her mind wander to those couple days she spent in a maid dress, packed in a space elevator with that damn squidbot, and silly fantasies about it bringing her along and coercing her into cleaning its spaceship. "Let it go, girl. Gotta focus on saving the world. Wish I didn't get so hung up on things."

Making two recovery rolls!

"Uh, Nat? We have a problem! And by we, I mean Paprika! She needs oxygen! I'm going to send her a chainpod with oxygen reserves, you and Cricket need to look for - I don't know, oxygen tanks and better maps of the ship, or something!"

Reiko links up to her chainpod and remote-drives it towards Paprika. She concentrates on driving unless the others come up with a better solution.

Its also an excellent lube.
Right squeaks?
Heh. Feels like ages ago i asked that.

>>1126824

I feel like there's lots of different lubricants that one would want to use for different circumstances, and that someone should make a lubricate cantrip that gives you fine control over the features but can only apply to a small object or something, remember specialized lubricants that folk use for sex originated as being for medical use, then the sex specific ones diverged from the medical focused ones due to different needs. Heck there's a lot of room for lots of utility cantrips that can do things Prestidigitation can't, and a way to adjust one's daily available loadout of at will cantrips...

>>1126819
You could keep those in a notepad until they are relevant.

I think you are right about those effects not being natural. This complicate the plans to use primordial with a dispel scroll to free them from the mind effect. There might be several divine blessings acting upon a person that could be interrupted potentially permanently. Maybe inherent conscient control over impregnation could be a worth sacrifice in exchange for mental freedom, but it's also possible there are other effects necessary for survival that we are not aware. Concerning.

>>1126828
Dont think overly on it.
Just a throwback to one of the first things i said.
I managed to get a borderline divine entity to call me a pervert.
It was a proud moment

Oh,hey
Mina.
You seem nervous.
Dont worry.
You three have us lot watching out for you.
Thisll be over quicker than you think,then we are all gonna find the nearest tavern and drink to the end of this fustercluck.
Deal?

For what it's worth, any ability we have to tamper with your Soul is very limited. We couldn't edify you in just any way. You would have naturally edified to Shadows, Spiders, etc, and all we could do was maybe bump the process a little.

Like for instance if you just loved butterflies, and butterflies were totally your favorite thing, then we might have had Magical Sparkling Butterfly Princess, instead of Shadow Minstrel.

Don't know what more to do about Jacob and Vax and the temple, but good luck!
