Caleb watches as the pair of Kols take turns sucking his dick. He tells the doppelgänger, “Mmm, not bad for a start. You clearly don’t do a lot of dick sucking though. Take notes: Kol’s been getting plenty of practice.”

The selkie takes his boyfriend’s head in his hand and bobs him up and down on his length. The mouse dutifully sucks as he’s directed, running his tongue along the underside of the shaft. After getting a good demonstration, Caleb grabs the doppelgänger and makes him repeat it. “Eyyyy, not bad. You really pick things up quick, don’t ya?”

“So, you three aren’t part of a court? Why not? I would think that your skills would be pretty valuable to a fae council.” Casey asks.

Gaybe laughs and drapes himself around the original Gabe, rubbing his skinny chest with one hand. “Oh, they’d love to have our power, but no one lets changelings into their court.”

Feeling himself warming up to the fae, Gabe gives a little moan as he lets himself be teased. “How come? You guys seem alright.”

“Hehehe, because we’re parasites! Pests!” Gaybe shrugs and smiles back at him. “ A hive can infest a court and live off its oaths and magic without being bound by them. It can cause a huge scandal if we’re found out. It’s why you almost never see changelings outside of the deep faewilds.”

“Great Fates.” Casey mutters. “We’re going to cause another scandal. What happens if the court catches you?”

“Branding.” Gaybe replies. “A branded changeling is a no-person: just a blur lost forever. But, we have an invitation! As long as we don’t break any laws, we’re safe!” He gasps as Gabe reaches for his cock and starts giving him a casual handjob. “Ah~ that’s why I wanted to go. I want to see what living in a big court is like!”

Some would say that everything that these mice do is scandalous. These people are either Utter Squares or very, very interested fey.

Of course, of course these changelings are immune to repercussions, just so long is they get to the boat and are Guests. Hospitality is so important to the fey you'd think they have Zeus looming over them. Given Elemental Pacts They probably do! at least the courts.

Clark IV, a world under fire.

The Interstellar Transit Authority currently holds the planet under martial law. The planet has seen a turbulent past century, guerilla fighters have been holding it hard and there has been no progress in taking hold.

Mercenary companies have been brought in to step in as a force multiplier, but they are beholden to no one but whoever pays the most.

Corporate entities have also begun to set their eyes on the planet below.

It is hell.

You get a brief map of your location and the radar pinging down the tunnels, you're not too far off from the main objective, just a little further. Two chambers, upper and lower, both have activity judging by radar and how the Monarchy appears to be operating. It's a coin flip.

After that first attack, the remaining trees are little threat, and the three of you manage to stop their assault without much further incident. You're all scratched up, and you're sure you'll be developing some interesting new bruises overnight, but you're all more or less intact, allowing you and your companions a moment to catch your breath.

The blue and red readings are probably Miller and Mary.
>contained figures both dark aligned
Huh, I think you can spot doppelgangers this way. That is incredibly useful. Well, unless the dark alignment is due to the containment devices. Speaking of those... I wonder what the attached tanks are doing. Are they draining Will? Or are they fueling the containment?
Hmm. Freeing the robotic doppelganger is slightly tempting. She can't possibly pretend to be anyone else, so if she helps us with the fight against Hella, we could agree to shelter her somewhere without worry of her managing an impersonation. On the other hand, we do not know where her allegiances lie, not without a deep understanding of how the minds of doppelgangers work.

Looks like the reading to the "north" is related to the Feather, so we could go that way later.

>Hella's letter, pictured figure in containment, pore?
Ok, I think I know what the problem is. The letter that was in the envelope, regarding the pore, was not present. It's probably in Hella's desk, which obviously we weren't able to search.
The other scraps of paper were nearby by coincidence and are not necessarily related to the pore or letter. At least we now know that Miller's photo was taken of him wearing the mask and coat... and holding a staff or spear? Or maybe that's someone else in the same getup.

>seems sudden, we don't know what Hella is capable of
True. How would we investigate our opponent though? Maybe we can ask the captive doppelgangers? Or do Miller and Mary know anything about Hella?

That symbol to the north, is it related to the feather? it looks similar to the large symbol we interacted with, but that was seven pointed while this one is five. but we have seen this exact one before, on one of the wall carvings in that same room. I don't think we determined what it meant.

>The blue and red readings are probably Miller and Mary.

Sam would tend to agree.

>That symbol to the north, is it related to the feather?
>and are we sensing, a house?

Sam recognises this symbol from a few places before. She does not recognise it as meaning anything in particular. She vaguely remembers it as appearing under or in what may have been a drawing of a well, next to a skull and crossbones.

It’s more like a wide arrow containing the symbol than a house. But Sam supposed she could be sensing a sort of ‘abode’ of whatever is meant by the five pointed symbol, in an abstract sense.

>Are they draining Will? Or are they fueling the containment?

Sam doesn’t know for sure, but she has heard tales of certain techniques and rituals used by particularly cunning mystics to hold dungeon doors closed with the prisoner’s very own force of Will. If these stories are true, then it wouldn’t be the most outlandish thing to expand such a concept to a machine.

Sam and the group return to Miller and Mary. Mary regards them with an expression halfway between a grimace and a grin.

MARY: “Done.. already?”

SIMONE: “Awh, sorry Mary. Not yet.”

UBERTO: ”We just wanted to know if there was anything else you could tell us about Hella.”

MARY: “She replaced.. Quartermaster, Koroviev. After WOLAND pulled out of the Well. To defend assets here.”

MILLER: “I have heard that she is capable of a great many things.”

MARY: “Hah. Well, I think.. She’s a one- trick pony. Just to put on a show to. Scare away intruders. Her real power… was sent in a letter. Watch for that dark power, don’t get burnt. And you’re golden.”

MILLER: “But look at what she’s done to you! Clearly, her one trick is effective.”

MARY: “Hmmph.”

Early autumn is pleasant in Cedar Ridge. Summer's hottest days are behind you and the shade of the Douglas fir trees that blanket the town keep the underbrush cool.

North of the lake that divides the town are sets of woods. Interrupted only by mud roads and storm drains that rarely see use outside of the rainy season. This grove is only a mile from the town's one high school. Frequented by teens and alcoholics alike for bonfire parties that leaves the smell of ash in the air. This far east into Oregon the breeze is warm and sluggish, trapped in by mountain ranges.

From where you stand you can hear when the occasional truck passes through Cedar Ridge's main road. Barely. It helps you keep your facing when you're unsure which way is home.

You are in the north in the outskirts of town.

Tell her it was a good idea to come to you instead of the (fun) police, as this is certainly a ghost matter and not a regular kidnapper/serial killer/dangerous and armed individual.

On that topic, ask why she thinks this is specifically a ghost matter. Also, what your new OFFICIAL FRIENDS actual name is and relation to Debra (the fact she knows she 'didn't come home' makes me think family member, friend, friend with benefits, roomate...).

For the case itself, we need to retrace Debra's path to find to potential spot she went missing. We last saw her on the swing yesterday, what path would she take to go home to from there? Maybe we'll find tracks or signs of where she got yoinked and go from there.

For 'evil' slime:
A) Seems like the best option of the three (not counting meta-knowledge that the humans are actively searching for you). Just smuggle yourself on someone.

B) Is a very bad idea, as it could lead getting harmed (explosion/heat) or it working too well and freezing/overheating everything and leading to a lot of creatures and plants dying.

C) Is a bad idea because the outside is also likely cold/frozen.

D) Throw/toss slime globs at the plants (if not enclosed) like spitballs or snowballs to remotely slime the plants.

E) Commendeer some warm clothes and proceed into cold storage witH extra insulation. There's bound to be a warm uniform around for a place like this.

Possibly she has some kind of implant- the thumb might be a logical place for identification-tech. That, or Paprika's treatment is transferable. Probably best to keep quiet about it for now.

Is this the manner of politics Cricket is used to? She makes it sound so dire.

Natalina can't imagine that Cricket intends to harm Malia, and a common background seems a solid basis for establishing a new diplomatic channel after the arkus herself made a mess of directly approaching the princess. (Even the idea of attempted 'cide of one's own family feels foreign to Natalina, but well, she knows very well that not everyone's situation is the same). She signs her assent.

Apparently assisting in first aid improved on her poor first impression for Malia to have asked her in the first place. Although the arkus isn't sure how the exile knew they shared that language- an assumption based on her communication with the

The "entertainment console" is Turing-complete, outputs directly to control the food printer as well as some life-support functions, and Zalkezia apparently knows its syntax well enough to attempt arbitrary code execution - or at least has a few useful formulas memorized, given how quickly she convinced it to produce medical supplies.

Food printer seems to have some safeguards - there's a long list of things it'll refuse to synthesize and extrude, among which Reiko spots dimethylmercury as well as the active ingredients of cholera and botulinum - but if it gets a request for something it's physically unable to produce (including living cells, solid metal, explosives, or anything at all that's not roughly the size and shape of a hockey puck), that simply gets passed on to the ship's main molecular loom without so much as an "are you sure?"
Said molecular loom is currently out of commission, but there's no need to leave such a security hole wide open. New standing order means the ship won't fabricate anything until Reiko has either signed off on it, or been out of contact for a hundred hours.

Ah, interesting! The ceiling controls more than just the life support settings; complex images can be stored as codes or ciphers, which it can unpack and display. Zalkezia doesn't seem to have seen this before- which raises the question of who (or when) that pattern was stored in those memory-ant like bottles. (Given the princess' understandable lack of trust, probably not worth spending limited goodwill on asking now, though).

>cryptic diagram vaguely similar to the Pioneer plaque. Format of the labels on certain oddly-positioned dots within that diagram has a striking resemblance to certain symbols the University of Doors was using to refer to the "ballast nodes" of Banded Mesa's inaccessible innermost ring.
What does Natalina make of that? Training in history, perception, and/or transdimensional navigation all seem like they could be relevant. Applying Understanding and one level of Intellect Effort. Might also benefit from a modification if any of the NPCs have relevant insight and are willing to help. Also willing to use a book if any are applicable (the autobiography has some connection to cloud giants, or astronomy might be relevant if there's coordinates for the nightcraft). Taking half an hour to improve relations examining a clue seems worth it and relatively safe- and probably buys plenty of time for Cricket and Malia.

Conveniently, that spills out from subsequent conversation among the princess's followers, without Nat needing to explicitly ask. There's another native sapient species in Branu's Kiss, known as the "saunukar." They're somewhat humanoid - Devyn is said to resemble one - and on much friendlier terms with the humans in general and Zalkezia in particular, presenting her with gifts (including that set of bottles, in this case) as well as a short traditional poem (more like a treasure map, including mention of the Grinder of Infinities, with just enough formal structure to make it easier to remember) whenever she re-appears.
>trained in history
Based on the few fragments you've picked up of each, sounds like Dramath and Saunukar religious traditions might possibly be schisms from a common source, or the result of indoctrination by long-vanished agents of opposing factions in some larger conflict.

Despite being broadly regarded as friendly, or at least less threatening, apparently saunukar hunt, kill, and eat humans on an almost routine basis, while dramath approximately never do? Temptation to pry with follow-up questions is fierce.

Reiko does some research, starting with the bottle itself; there are too many fundamental acts of arrogance imposed upon the cosmos to get an accurate reading based on physics extrapolation, but that form of 'liquid map' isn't exactly common. Even the bottle's shape itself seems off, so its style might be from an earlier time period. The datasphere should have some information on when the bottles were popular and among who, and from there Reiko can download a few star maps during those time periods and see which ones almost line up with the map.

So, she has Silksong-style regeneration/wound binding. Good to know!

Her arms also look ridiculously thin/fragile, a thin as strands of silk! Either they're EXTREMLY durable and/or flexible to prevent them snapping like twigs, or I'm overthinking it / it's just the artistic depiction.

On the topic of Iris being hungry, Iris is chewing off her arm-blades. Are those made of weak-but-sharp silk/bone/chitin, or is Iris's bite able to chew through rock/steel?

Probably tell her that before it chews the rest of her armblades ot uselessness.

Ask her if your 'respawn' method (i.e. reforming from a puddle of goo/dissolving into one on death) sounds familiar - maybe her 'Hive' has a similar thing? And might help explain your (assumed) immunity.

She might not be directly responsible in any case. Could be another of her kind/species out there who bled their red liquid in the wrong place, or the red liquid affects her differently than the black hive (i.e. it's a third party of its own).

Is the red liquid is 'normal' for her? Is that her 'normal' blood or is it unusual for her too?

Also, ask her (delicately) about the eye on her forehead / Iris's head. Is it controlled / functional or sort of has a mind of its own, like a parasite or symbiote?

This quest has themes of violence, depression, eldritch confoundery, suicide (serious warning on this), fuzzy animal people, harsh language, and risqué topics.

You've fully scouted the entry room and adjoining rooms. That's good enough for calling them down.

You've smelled part of the scent trail... try tracing it to see where it goes in the direction away from the jail. If she's still in the jail area then we'd expect the scent to get weaker. We won't have to peek in there in that case.

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


>...this thing is pathetic. In a sad way I mean
>...like a stupid sad little idiot.

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.

Dear mom, hello mother, Hey mom, no fuck why is this so hard Dear mom,

Happy birthday! You know, if you'd be here, you'd be 26 again? We're on a 24 month cycle out here.
Dad is doing well. His work with the provisional government has netted us a nice place closer to where he works. It's still 3 hours from here to there though. At least it's not 4 anymore, right? Bright side of things like you always said.
I'm doing fine. I'm about to start my Transitory semester. Wait. Right, that's something we only have up here. So yeah, because of the 24 month cycle, the campus has this extra semester in summer to prep us for the change in setting and difficulty between Entrance year and Freshman year. I dunno what change is setting means, it's still the same campus, but that's what it says in the handbook. I'll write again when I have time, but things are gonna get busy.
I miss you mom. Happy birthday again.

You ponder for a bit and settle on a final selection.

You tell Pesuka that you’ll take a bundle of honeysuckles, lavender, and chamomile.

Pesuka: “A lovely choice Eugene. Are these going to be used for washing, or perhaps gifted to a uh…lucky lady?”

You sigh and shake a paw. Explaining that these will be used for a special cleaning job that you’ve been tasked with.
Pesuka: “Ah, such a shame. They are beautiful flowers. Beautiful flowers that will commend you a beautiful price of two gold and five copper.”

You lay down one bar of honey soap, two bars of regular soap, and five copper coins.

She eyes up the soap.
Pesuka: “Oh! Your famous honey soap! Not often we see that come around.”

You shake your head and explain there’s a reason for that. Bee stings are no fun.

Maeve's mother isn't malicious, but she is blind. She is legally blind and they still hasn't realized that the con artist who impregnated and maimed her wasn't the love of her life. Maeve gave up on teaching her mother that she was a slave in all but name, one incredibly skilled at empowering bad people, and that's what has motivated her nihilism.

The engine of capitalism uses the goodness inherent in the average citizen to empower the worst impulses of the common sociopath. No wonder she's self-destructing.

Jason "hops" when he dies. Jason also hops in situations of great need or intense emotion.

What if we let that play against him?

Right now, Maeve is an anchor. She's what's keeping him in this timeline, despite little, irrelevant changes like the tattoo. Realizing she was dead is what brought him here, just like the fear that it's his fault she died one way or another.

What Jason needs to do is understand what it was that killed her, and try to work toward preventing that. You're right that the drugs are the obvious one, but I don't think they did it alone.

Perhaps in the process of trying to find something Maeve can care about (perhaps even here in the warehouse, amongst a little, hidden cache of things), Jason stumbles upon what's really going to lead to her death, and do what he can to prevent that (possibly relying on other Jasons' memories).

She loves many things, but guitar and drums mainly.

In fact, her fondest memory is her grandmother on her mother's side letting her play with her accoustic guitar when she was little.

That's also one of her most bitter memories.

She got into drugs while bonding with her cousin and the neighbourhood kids as a way of coping.

Maeve seems pretty fit, even being mostly homeless, even without a regular job. Maybe that's what keeps her from holding down a job. can't keep still, can't stay on task, always wants to move.
Drugs. music. maybe she wants to dance, but just never had a chance. when you aren't well off, where would you even think to look for an opportunity for that.
Jason can't help her there, he doesn't know any more than her. It would take a miracle.
