No, I really shouldn’t get distracted. Learning some numbers and letters is way more important to the mission, and who knows how Violet would react if I kissed her or something. If we can’t talk to each other, we better not have sex.

I take my hands off her legs and point at the cards insistently. I try to keep my hips turned away from her huge eyes.

“Do you want to play a game? Lucy said you could play chess, so cards shouldn’t be too hard.” Violet slides off the sofa onto the floor and starts shuffling the deck. “Let’s start with Crazy Eights, that’ll be fun.”

I eagerly join her on the ground. Violet deals me a hand of six cards, flips a card off the top of the deck, and puts a card from her hand on top of it.

Uh…is she not going to give me any instructions? I pick something random and toss it on the pile.

“No no Rudger! That’s a scale, we’re playing clovers.” Violet nudges my card back toward me patronizingly. “Do you have a five? See how there are five clovers here? One two three four five! You can play a five of any suit or match the suit.”

Oh, I get it, we’re counting. I know how to do that, although that doesn’t work with the cards with pictures.

I study my hand until I’m interrupted. “Rudger, let me see, oh, you don’t have anything you can play so you have to draw cards from the deck.”

I sigh and do as she says. This is a trivial game compared to chess, and I master it once Violet actually tells me all the rules. There’s not much strategy involved, but since my attention is split on learning my numbers and four letters, I still have fun.

I’m the one who has to stop first to use the bathroom and eat. Violet looks a little disappointed but she cleans up the cards and goes back to resting on the sofa until evening falls and she goes to bed.

What should I do tonight?

Let's find Lucy.

Return to the police station. Probe it for weaknesses. And don’t forget the knife this time - you’re heading into possible danger.

>>1120752

We need to plan this out, see if the sleepy guard is there again, find possible ways in. Then we'll need to consult with your warren about the plan to get a GUN and raid the factory to rescue some does.

We will need info on the police station AND the factory before we set this in motion, because once they find out a GUN is missing security will be ramping way up. The GUN acquisition and raid will be a major one night mission.

“As you know, tonight is the full moon and your last night in my service.” The wolf stands in his study and surveys the mortals. He’s grown lanky and lean through the moon’s cycle, waiting until tonight to recharge himself. Over the last month, the network of tally-marks has grown and spread across their fur: each one earning a permanent place in Argus’s memory. His odd, jagged smile splits his face like a a lightning bolt, looking extremely satisfied with his work.

“Yes, master.” Casey nods.

“Technically, the contract ends when the moon rises but I’ll be releasing you early; since you’ve been excellent servants and I expect you’ll be in a hurry to get back home.” He explains, patting Gabe on the head as he sucks the wolf’s cock. “You’re welcome to stay for the festival, although I think you’ll be a tad underdressed.”

“Thank you, master. I think we’ll skip the party this time, if it’s alright with you.” Kol replies.

He waves dismissively, settling the matter. “Very well. And remember, you’re always welcome to visit. Call on me any time.”

Casey steps up and asks, “Uh, sir, wasn’t there also a favor you wanted from us?”

Argus holds up a finger and states, “I haven’t discharged you quite yet. You have one last duty before I ask my favor. I want a centerpiece: all three of you, together at once. You’ll have to make sure you all finish at the same time. Oh-“

He snaps his fingers and the tally marks start to fade. “I want this one pristine: nothing to distract from the form. As soon as you’re done you can go.”

>>1120749
Before our tally marks are erased (and replaced with graduation marks?) how many did each of us get? What's our final score for training with Master Argus?

Well, it's time to perform one final service for our Master. Let's give Him a show to remember, one that will proudly display our bodies for all His guests. Maybe... gabe rides kol's cock while casey rides gabe's cock? And casey could use tentacles to probe kol's backside. And if we positioned ourselves the right way, we'll make it easy for Argus to add some bondage straps to spice up His centerpiece. And make sure we all smile at the climax, so everyone knows how much we loved our time here!

If this is going to be our last visit (for now) to Argus's collection, let's make the most of it. We've learned how to resist glamour, so... we'll do the opposite of that. Let down all our mental defenses, draw our Master's power into the most intimate corners of our minds, let it penetrate us as deeply as it can go. Enjoy this moment to the fullest, because it's going to last forever.

Oh, there's one thing that still concerns me a bit: we didn't know what being in Argus's gallery meant before we signed His contract. All we were told was that we'd be on display, no details beyond that. Don't get me wrong, it was a wonderful surprise, and our Master did give us a fair warning before our first time* - something about showing us what it's like to be in His collection, or however He phrased it - but what if we found out after we signed and weren't comfortable with taking that chance with unfamiliar magic? What would Argus have done? Could He have just saved our image without giving us a glamour of it as a reward?

No. We are not doing this again. Nothing like it again. Never. Stop. Stop. For the love of cock and balls, man, this has been too long, too dangerous. Weeks and weeks of this shit, if it weren't being done by a magical entity in some weird mental fuck-space, is mentally catastrophic. It would ruin any normal person entirely. For all I know we're now Argus's super-sex slaves period, we just haven't admitted it yet - he might make some demand out of this space and *we won't be able to dennny him BECAUSE WE'VE SPENT MORE THAN A MONTH LIKE THIS*, and over and over you want to keep circling back, extending it, making it longer, making back doors to it, fuck's sake man, knock it off!

Slime picked up an acorn that had fallen nearby. It rolled it around between two gooey fingers. "You know, they used to call the part of the nut you eat the 'meat'. Maybe I could make it meat for real." It popped the acorn in itself and swooshed it around, dissolving and resolving it. What popped out looked much like the original acorn, but smelled of blood and tannins. "Here Fox, try this"

Fox snatched up the nut and crunched down. Immediately she froze and wheezed a little whine from between clenched teeth. "Gluuuh" She hastily gulped the morsel down "that's awful. I- I have to go. Find something better to taste." Fox dashed away.

"Darn, I thought that would work. I'll have to work on the taste." Slime sighed. "Do you want to try one Squirrel?"

Squirrel backed away "I'm not that bored. Where are you going to get enough acorns anyway? Because I need mine, you can't have them. Well, maybe one or two."

"Hmm, that's true." Slime said "Maybe the plants can help. They're right here, I should try talking to them."

A breeze rustled through the grasses and seedlings all around.

"... how do I do that?"

Slime found Stag resting in a hollow log. "Hey uh, how do you talk to the plants and things?"

Stag nibbled some punk and thought about it. "They don't actually talk as such. You just have to listen the right way, feel their vibrations. They're very small, maybe you're too big to hear them?"

Slime tried shrinking down, but found it couldn't compress that much. So it spread itself out instead, thin as a blanket, and laid over the plants.

As it touched the leaves, it could hear them. The plants greeted Slime, not in words, but conveyed concepts nonetheless. Slime was peppered with warm thanks for bringing them into this dream.

"Dream?" Slime wasn't sure it had understood that right.

Yes a dream, the plants said. You live awake with ears that hear and eyes that see. We dream and grow and be. We could be more, though, if we had some more water.

"I'll see what I can do about that." Slime spread a little thinner to hear better. "But I think we'll have to wait until it rains."

The plants conveyed that this was acceptable. They would have no problems waiting. They were being well cared for by the bugs, in exchange for excess leaves and seeds.

"That's good. I was hoping you guys might- hang on. I'm hearing something strange, like a hiss under everything you're saying." Slime said.

The fungal network would like to speak with you, the plants said. Touch the soil and hear them. Plants usually talk to the bugs on the fungus' behalf. You may have to reach smaller to hear. They're thoughts are very small.

>Go to the market to recruit urchins to gather flowers and herbs and water while you barter.
You have a bit of spare coin to hire help, but don’t trust many with gathering flowers. However, perhaps you can rope in a neighbor to fetch some water.

Grabbing your pack and bag of coins, you rush over to the Bramblesnap’s and knock on the door. You hear the chilling grumblings of the misses.

Mrs. Bramblesnaps: ”Oh for fuk sake, what’s ‘e want now”
She opens up the door and turns to look at you, showing immediate disappointment.

Mrs. Bramblesnaps: “Aren’t ye suppose to be digging up flowers and pester’in merchants today. What’s ye’r foul arse want, make it quick.”

You explain you’re here to hire her husband for some help, and get cut off before you can explain.

Mrs. Bramblesnaps: “Oh no, ye’s lost your wits if ye think he’s helping today. We’re invited for dinner gatherun, and ey can’t be havin ‘em comin home smelling like rotted eggs from werking wit ye all day.”

You then proceed to explain her majesty has a rush order in place for today, and you just need him to haul some water while you barter the markets for some other supplies.

Fight the angle completely naked. That will throw them off their game, or it will be extremely hot for us, so it is a win win.

oh god i think it sees us, i say run. sounds like there's a whole order behind this one and if we kill this one somehow it will attract more to investigate.

Call Vex, it isn't fair that we get to have all the fun

Oh and in response to the Angel's question... I think right now we haven't decided yet? We don't know much about Angels aside from them being generally asshats. Vex's drama with them stems from him killing one, I'd guess, and it seemed like his choice was either that or ritual suicide, but... is that the norm for angels? Or do their goals often work to the benefit of others despite their attitude? Maybe don't pick a fight for no reason when we don't know we can win.

I'd say not to run because of how much shame you'd bring upon your image but since you're not planning to lead the pack I'm not sure how much you care about that. Who will lead once you're gone?

You can't back down. not in front of everyone. Not with Vi hurt.

Foolish gambit: declare your name and that if they're looking to hurt your people, then you'll be more foe than they can handle.

You pull up Red Mask's record. There's more on the Mech Red 9 on another page, but the mech on the screen doesn't resemble any of the mechs you've faced. You do get a general history of what Red Mask was doing here.

Could the Red Mask you're facing now really be the same one? The records are from a century ago.

"He was still only flesh"? ...I think we faced an AI based on Red Mask. That would explain the multiple mechs. Maybe it was a brain scan even.

Info on any of these mechs won't be tactically useful since it's so out of date. Could give us ideas on how to build our own tho.

Let's check the other two pilots. Bronson?

Hm, the text mentions legacy, which hints at several people bearing the mask in sequence. But that "only flesh" comment is indeed troubling.

Question
Your
Sexuality!

Start counting to one thousand.

I hadn't thought about it before, but you should probably get out of there. The paint thinner fumes are either going to make you loopy, or pass out completely. You should also extract Gladii--it's not clear whether passing out would cure basilisk exposure, but it would be disadvantageous to lose an agent. (In case Mr. Painter guy shows up.)

Also, I would advise against using the Gladii-full-healer, since 'recovery' might mean they are rendered non-existent until the next mission, and you don't know how to end the mission and return to non-existence yourself.

Finally, it appears someone has tampered with the requisition form. I don't speak German, but I can guess a "splittergranate" is not something you want to use in an enclosed space.

>>1120670
Ohhh wow that's a lot.
The TWO of swords. There's two of Gladii. Or, used to be? Left hand and right hand. What we saw on the card was their other "hand". Also that one voice in the Gallery listed out all the suits, with "Fera" as the last one... which is interesting since that voice was also using latin and Fera in Latin is Beast. So I think we can conclusively state that's what your name means. That word... can be interpreted in many ways. Why is its symbol a spiral though? Or maybe that's just your curly hair.
"Eripe nos ab existentia! A mundo!" translates to "Rescue us from existence! The world!". It seems even Gladii's Peanut Gallery wishes for death. Also apparently they had some sort of plan and Gladii screwed it up which resulted in their current state. Gladii tried to kill the universe, but the act somehow got them tied into the very nature of the universe itself...

...your hair color changed while you had the earpiece in. It was a lighter shade of pink, close to Gladii's skin color. ...I just realized, Gladii has a skin color, but everyone else we've seen appears to have white skin! Does that mean anything...?

>>1120676
Someone tried to sabotage your requisitions by putting what seems like a bomb on the list... that means there's a double agent in the Agency? Good thing whoever's in charge of authorization has some sense. Ask Gladii what the item was, since we can't know for sure.
>gun to heal Gladii
Uh, but Gladii can't die? What good is that? ...unle

aw damn, we should have asked for a mask, probably a big fan too. Get out of the room before you pass out, fall down, and get an eyeful of bask.

Don't pester Gladii anymore, but just rest in the hall. If she wants to talk be ready to listen.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Continue and try to talk with the matis, even if she can't understand you.

B) Find somebody else to talk with.

C) See who is the new arrival.

D) Other suggestions.

you know what they say.. children love to rebel!

C).

A. I don't think we will get much more out of them with the language barrier. But there is one yes or no question I want to ask the servant considering she is made of rock: Ask if she knows Rock Vibration.

See how she reacts to that name. If she knows him, and doesn't look disgusted, then we might be able to use him as a translator some time in the future after the party if we want to make an alliance in the future.

If C is chosen, go talk to Maya Din, and as I suggested before, see if she can keep a secret and tell her who we really are depending on her response. As an ally, she might give us some tips for this party.

A) You set a good example, but in the end children need to find their own path

A) try to flirt with the stone lady. Maybe she is a tsundere.

What? They... first, they don't shoot you in the back when they COULD HAVE, then they ask for common ground, then you give them common ground... and they actually didn't want common ground, but wanted you to refuse so they could shoot you? Is this some bizarre code of ethics, or trying to... make it look like self defense? To what authority???

Ask the biological weapon if their wielder was born stupid or took too many blows to the distributed process matrix over the years, then attempt to negotiate directly with Sine. The one holding them seems like a rogue element with no authority to actually force them to fire.

Also, maybe just let Li.Ni.Si get laid, maybe it'll help give her reprieve from her own issues. Meanwhile, his Bad Luck Field seems beneficial to you. After all, B! Could have sent an elite killer after you but instead sent these two, presumably out of pity for the big one.

>>1113377
Alright, I have been informed Holdfast is the small creature on Sine's head. Fair enough.

Ask Sine to please not shoot you just because their pet idiot is kill-crazy.

Ask Sine why he's letting this little bundle of aggression giving him orders.
Go on a tangent about how he's clearly the sharpest of the two.

The goldfish pen. It's something you can use, and recognizable enough that it makes a good memento.

Inventory check!

The cassette tape, maybe listen to some music, maybe somebody recorded over it to leave a secret message too?That’d be a laugh. Who knows, it might be super rare and you can sell it for a profit at an online auction for an fortune and get your life back on track!

Some bandages might be a good idea, considering all the weird bloodstains we’ve been seeing. We already know that at least two people got hurt today, including Lana. Someone who got hurt while searching for the box might appreciate it (tho that would mean they can only take the bandages)

“Yeah, luckily that gave me time to come here and see you. I’m kind of curious what kind of assignment would you get, Hot-shot”

“Well, I don’t know what to expect really… I might be sent to one of the patrols, to keep an eye on ground squads. Or maybe to some regiment to watch over some new recruits.”

“Hmmm… Well, if there is something I learnt of our friend Delma, is that you should always keep an eye, and ear, open- There have been a lot of interesting ships moving in system, even more than there usually are. Maybe one of them seems familiar?” He says, pointing at my pad pocket, under my overcoat. “Oh! And before I forget! If nothing else, you should look into your PAD, particularly your profile.”

“Why is that?”

“Heard some of the other graduates. Apparently, the system didn’t update their profile with their new rank, which was problematic when trying to get it to update with the new assignment. More of a minor annoyance really, but better get it out of the way now.”

Right… And since there is some time to kill, I guess I could try to just relax a bit now… maybe look for more info on my pad… or just talk Kadmian a bit more. Unknown how often I’ll get the chance, now that we’ll likely be going our own separate ways.

>…

Well, make sure your pad updated and if not. Try to start the update. While it's installing that, talk with Kadmian a bit. Ask if there's anything interesting over in the Aoemi Sector.

Maybe use your pad to look up what is happening on the outer colonies?
There's a non-zero chance that you could end up being sent out there after all.

Actually your right. It IS a different style...
Wonder if Bakoth is influencing Tanna's dreams?
She stopped Bakoth from actively influencing others but we don't really know his full capability's do we? Especially since she's presumably sleeping right next to it.

Well wadda you want us to do about it?

Wake up Shadow, we need to find the Chaos Emeralds!

Well, I suppose it's time to wake up then.

>>1120512
Okay, look, we agree you don't run that sort of dungeon, and you certainly should do all you can to avoid looking that way, but this guy radiates the aura of someone who might be into that sort of thing.

I'm not saying we should lean into it! Absolutely not. But we shouldn't, like, vehemently deny it or anything. If he makes an assumption that goes in our favor, that's all the better, right?

Do the responsible Fantasy Overlord thing and go send your minions to die!

Start birthing baby bombs! Let these fools enter cuteness proximity while you remote-detonate your giggling traps.

Okay but seriously do a quick recap of what works and form a quicker strategy. You don't need optimal performance, just enough to win by attrition. This is a raid, not a war.

>>1120512
Play hardball. Lock the front door. They are not here when they are meant to be. If they invade then they are subject to the rules of the Game. It will not be a tour. If you can manage to talk to them before they get in, you can tell them there has been an incident which will paint you in an unfavorable light. I don't know what our options are for boob reduction and hangover recovery. How long would it take? ...wait, you're currently shaped modestly. What if you used the Deemeggs to reshape those who are improperly shaped? If you can do that quickly enough, then maybe we don't need to delay them or anything, but we do need to verify exactly how this tour is supposed to go- are they both fighting? Are they both carrying resurrection charms?
Inspect your troops. Whoever is fit for duty after treatment, deploy them. Whoever is an embarrassment, sideline them. We just got some new monsters, we can pad out/strengthen encounters with those. Hin is definitely going to be fighting today. Hmm, could she make a good end boss? ...wait, Hin is the one who is known for drinking too many potions, how did SHE manage to resist temptation?
Also exactly how much of that dream happened? Did Moriko turn into an alien titty monster? If not, why did you dream that she did, hmmmmmm?

Scold Stargazer for not resisting the Winze. At least now you know what the Winze is likely to do when unmonitored... and tell the others that you expect them to represent the dungeon during invasions, so they should be fighting fit at all times, or at least in a condition that they can recover from quickly enough to be presentable.

Showing up on time is an amateur move.
Showing up late is a power play.
Showing up early? What a shrewd man, he *wants* to see you at your worst!

its not that sort of dungeon, no. But you could hint at it being so. The fecund earth's hidden mysteries etc. Dance of the seven veils and all that. If he finds such things sexual, well that's on him.

To that end, whoever is plumpened, get some costumes, tasteful ones, and get to the front door to distract while everyone else gets organized.

Inner thoughts: Well. Fuck it then.

*Corax runs forward throwing himself and his burning form at Happy and grabbing on *

Let's burn together, we two monsters. I'll get to hell just in time to hold the door open for you.

*backing away from this new assault*
Well I hope you have some ideas what to do Ana, cause I'm about out of them.

Is what I said finally sinking in? Are you finally ready to stand on your own two feet? Either get with the program or get out of the way.

Hey you need to get somewhere safe. Things are going real bad

Stay alert, who knows whats lurking the woods

Yeah we got super lucky there I don’t trust what’s about to happen next

Stay alert!

The tension! Be aware of the coast, it's possible for the invaders to have put a guard to hunt fleeing survivors.

Made it out alive. But you need to keep moving, until you're sure the trail is gone.

A very good outcome. Our chances of getting out of this mess alive just got significantly better.

Do we think we made enough noise to attract that guard's attention? If so, we want to get under the cover of the trees (and have Poralla go to the bottom of the river) before he comes to check it out. It would be a terrible shame to be caught when we're so close to escaping their notice.

Otherwise, if we can stay in the water, that's what we should do for as long as we can. Harroctar will be basically blind to us unless we make a lot of noise splashing, which we shouldn't have to do as long as we're with Poralla. Prismaticans might be harder to fool; but of all the paths we could have used to leave the city, this is probably the one they would expect the least. We're hardly in the clear, but any we encounter are unlikely to be actively looking for escapees, and we can probably slip by them the same way we did the ones in the cave.

Either way, we want to get as far from the city as we can before stopping to rest. If we can manage to get out of sight of it without encountering any prismaticans, we might be able to relax a little.

It didn't seem like they needed a weapon. Is there anything else in here?

>Are they dead? Was that the expected result of hitting someone with that rapier?

It’s not clear if they are dead. They certainly aren’t here anymore, but Simone did say that they simply disappeared into thin air earlier, and it would be very strange if Uberto’s rapier was that lethal.

>Check the crate the figure was rummaging through. Also see if there's any particularly good weapons here.
>It didn't seem like they needed a weapon. Is there anything else in here?

There are a number of weapons here. Swords, halberds, maces, flails. Sam isn’t great with any of them. She’s barely done any sword training since she finished high school.
She does pick up a few small daggers, however. Surely, sticking a dagger in someone doesn’t require very much training, and Sam always beats Uberto at darts, so throwing daggers shouldn’t be much different, right?

The crate is full of odds and ends. Sam can see a pair of pliers, a hammer, some screwdrivers, but also other things like a peculiar amulet and a strange white crownlike thing.

Crumpled around the crate are certain bits of paper, including a couple of photos, a weird diagram annotated in a language Sam can’t read, and a note within an envelope.

The note reads:
“Dearest Hella,

Attached is my personal copy of Clerk’s writings on the pore Glundandra, as requested. I trust you to figure out how to use them without help.

I am now being kindly housed far closer to the city, so if you need anything more you may ask Koroviev for the address and come visit.

Best,
Professor M”

See if anyone else can read the stuff you can't.

What does Sam know about the pore Glundandra?

do we know a Koroviev? what about a professor M?

it seems that the flaming thing was searching through the crate so presumably it was looking for something left here. maybe we should stick around to see if it returns, if we don't think it's too dangerous

>>1120370
So the one that saw what happened conveniently malfunctioned. Could it be intentional sabotage?

>>1120377
Good catch on the luggage. It could be an attempt by those anti-tech guys to sabotage Eden's relationship with Avis by torching her luggage and causing an incident.

Not that Formixer has a way to know that in-character.

The sealed Eden containers are probably contaminated lab materials that need to be destroyed, but keep the Avis packages to deliver them to the lost and found.

Place the sealed containers inside the incinerator so they're out of access to anyone coming across them by mistake, and they are destroyed as requested once the power comes back on. After that it's out of your hands.

Well, if the Avis containers aren't supposed to be here, how do we know the Eden containers are supposed to be here?

I say ONLY burn the obvious trash. Contact someone who can verify if the other stuff should be burned or not.

>>1120371
Mant L is being a word that humans would use catagorised under the alphanumeric section B.
Capital B.

But thats notnimportant.
Cheer up formixer.
Youre working hard and have done everything you have been instructed to and some extra too.
Thats the kind of work a reploid is meant for and love to do.
That makes you a good reploid.
If mant L wants to miss out on the chance to beca good reploid, cooperate with you and just be a big grump, thats their loss.

Hmm.
Formixer may not know why all these things are but she should at least scan the surfaces of containers for hazardous symbols she recognizes.

If there are any markings she doesnt recognise then maybe record or remember them so she can ask someone with a different dataset or expertise.
Maybe stabitha would be able to identify them later.
The important thing is to put aside all objects with unidentified markings until identified later for safe disposal.

these nonstandard containers need conformation before being disposed of. When in doubt, get it checked out.

In order to get the fullest information on the situation, open all the containers for inspection.

As for the machinery, what is needed to start them up? Perhaps a volatile chemical could do the trick.

>>1120370
That fancy stuff looks familiar, like we should know the silhouette... isn't that Gilded Goose? That famous reploid our roommate has a crush on? Her items aren't supposed to be incinerated! If she's here, then destroying her luggage will make her upset, and that would make Stabitha upset! We can't let down our awesome roommate like that!

And something destroyed the mechaniloid on duty when this trash was delivered. That's even more suspicious.

>>1120371
Something's not right about this. We may just be a humble worker robot, but we're a reploid, so let's use our Light-given artificial intelligence to figure this out!

Normal trash can just burn.
Gilda's luggage should be delivered to wherever Gilda is. If she's a guest, she must be living somewhere, like... a hotel? Can we call and ask? Say we've found some lost items that we think are hers.
Sealed containers are the most suspicious. Store them behind the gate to keep them out of sight, but not in the actual incinerator. Examine them carefully before we decide what to do with them. Are there any markings on them that could tell us where they're from or what's in them? Cracking one open might go badly if they're safe to touch because they're sealed. But if there's a crate that isn't sealed properly, looking inside won't make things worse.

Also, can we get any info on what happened to the missing totem guard? I'm guessing his "malfunction" happened while he was on duty, but can we search for his re
