ELDRAD IS A DICK.

I...Kind of approve. It certainly breaks the cliche.

So she ran away and became a space pirate instead.

>>1392611
AND HER KID GREW UP NICE AND PRETTY AND ELDRAD WAS A LIAR.

>>1392611
Hooray! Now for pancakes.

Genetics provides a BAD END.

...Then she became a space pirate?

>>1392594

.....that's sick and sad and horrible and cruel.

I think I love you.

Or they become Space Marines like our good buddy Mr. Tigurius.

McCAIN SMASH PUNY NATIONAL DEFICIT

>>1392611
nip ons prove how weak and lacking in protectional qualities eldar armour truly is.

>>1392645
She's just really, really cold man.

I kinda like it. I mean, it doesn't fuck up with any of the plot, and now Taldeer has a Damocles sword over her head, and questions a plenty about their child as she goes searching for LIIVI.

>>1392643

OT: I really like the guy.

>>1392647
but should it poke through her armour? You don't see nipples poking through flak armour.

consequently, as a member of stardestroyer.net, i can deduct that eldar technology is vastly inferior to the Empires, based on her nipples showing through her armoured breast plate.

just kidding, but had to add it in.

>>1392624
It's basically the canon ending, as related to us secondhand by an anon that didn't think to save the last chapter when BW posted it on 4chan. The inquisitor was heretical and had been making knockoff assassins, including LIIVI (whose defects were limited to things like love blooming- he could snipe as well as the genuine article). LIIVI managed to cover Taldeer's escape but was captured as a consequence- Taldeer makes it back to her ship but winds up joining some rogue traders rather than returning to the craftworld. The implication is that she intends to find and rescue LIIVI.

I actually wrote my own take on what would happen if Taldeer and LIIVI made it to a craftworld, but no one likes that story.

>>1392657
Selective service step in time! Selective service step in time! Never need a reason never need a rhyme! Selective Service step in time!

>>1392666
Awwww, the Full Metal Panic take one? I thought it was a nice and flattering one.

>>1392666
Was that the one where his son hates him because he's called "Secondary" or something? Because that cracked me up.

>>1392655
By the emperor, my anus is prepared.

>>1392676

>>1392673
No, his Daughter has "Secondary", the kid got shafted with a "Tertiary"

>>1392594
GRIM DARK STORY IS GRIM DARK...and maddeningly sad/horror depressing.

>>1392685
Also, I just found my copy of it, want me to post it?

>>1392673
No, it's the one mentioned by >>1392670. It was basically a parody combining LCB and Full Metal Panic.

>>1392692
Do it.

>>1392685
oh yeah, kind of a bummer since he has the firstborn. but then again how's the deformed halfblood going to compete to the milf and the loli?

>>1392698
I HEAR, AND OBEY

LIIVI was was happy as a super-human assassin could be.

Opening the door to his home, his highly advanced senses picked up the subtle scents that he had come to love. The smell of the spiritual bone of the walls, the scent of the kitchen, the soft rug at the entrance that read "Home Sweet Home" in Eldar, the eye-pleasing beige tones all around the house that reminded him of Taldeer's delicious caramel cream...

He was home, indeed.

"Primary, I'm home!"

"Father!"

A little, blonde stream flowed down the stairs and into the hall, before colliding with his legs. LIIVI, through deeply-ingrained instincts, inmediately threw his arms around it, pulling it up into the air. Two deep, dark eyes stared into his.

"Father, my joy upon witnessing thy return is of no small measure!"

LIIVI tensed his muscles, his mind going through hundreds of patterns that his body could adopt, and combat routines he could settle into to deal with any threats... and smiled. Little Rhiantha was the energetic presence that this home needed, compared to Taldeer's ethereal, enigmatic presence, and LIIVI's brooding, silent strength. She was but a decade old, yet she seemed to hold great powers within. It was more like a feeling than a certainty, but LIIVI's highly analytical mind had soon learned to adapt to the Eldar's twisted logic that defied human comprehension.

"Secondary, have you been a good girl? How are Eltano and your mother?"

"Eltano is fine, as usual for our race. But mother..."

>>1392697
I do remember reading a small excerpt. Full Melta Panic, IIRC. Was good. Relatively speaking.

>>1392710

The sudden hesitation in Rhiantha's voice, and the slight frown she made, alerted LIIVI to unsuspected dangers. Ork raid? Dark Eldar attack? Chaos proximity?

Eltano was at the foot of the stairs, staring at him. Eltano was sixteen years old, and LIIVI and Taldeer's firstborn. LIIVI had showered both of his children with equal, carefully calculated attention and love so that no hostility would grow between each other, but Eltano had showed a strange lack of empathy towards him as of late. And now, his eyes had a flame inside that LIIVI had only seen in those of the Eldar that he met first when Taldeer introduced him to her family. Eldrad had been strangely welcoming, and Macha strangely neutral, but everyone else...

Still, LIIVI felt a sudden disturbance in his life.

"Tertiary, where is Primary?"

Eltano's hostility grew several grades, and he pointed with a sudden, violent motion towards the kitchen. LIIVI gently set Rhiantha down on the floor, and quickly dropped his coat, suitcase and hat, before taking his rifle out of the small wardrobe beside the door. He darted for the kitchen, and dropping to the floor, rolled into it. His rifle came up, as his sharp eyes went through every single detail in the kitchen, carved into his memory through long nights spent surveying the location for possible entry points that enemy assault troops might exploit.

But everything was in its place.

The only point of interest was that Taldeer was sitting at the table, with her elbows on the dark wood surface, her fingers entwined and hiding her mouth, and a stern, reproachful glare fixing him where he was more surely than a Daemon's baleful powers. But what worried the assassin more, what really made his mind enter a state of the highest possible alarm, was to notice that Taldeer's eyes were red, unequivocal sign that she had cried.

"LIIVI... sit down..."

>>1392718
LIIVI inmediately obeyed the order, sitting down opposite the Primary.

"We have to talk, LIIVI..."

The assassin stayed quiet and inmobile, staring at Taldeer, awaiting instructions. The farseer sighed, putting her hand to her forehead.

"Dear... I have seen you cheating on me..."

"..."

LIIVI's world seemed to suddenly contract into itself, like water trapped in a whirlpool. He drew the connections inmediately. If he had cheated on Primary, and she had somehow come upon the information that corroborated this, that was a perfectly good explanation for her red eyes and Tertiary's hostility. However, there was a flaw in this chain of thoughts, and that was that he had not cheated on her.

"I have not..."

"I have SEEN IT!"

Taldeer stood up, knocking her chair back, her eyes bright with fury and her arms tense like a tree's over-stretched roots. In a sense, they were, for Taldeer trembled slightly and perhaps her arms were the only thing that stopped her from falling.

"I have SEEN IT! I cast the runes everyday, and today... today I saw you engaging in a sexual act with Meneia Shira'Han Diresong!"

"The Banshee Exarch next door?"

"YES! How could you!? She is a... a... A SLUT! She engages in sex once every millennium!"

"But I have not done it!"

"But YOU WILL! And that is the problem!"

>>1392722
Taldeer slumped on the chair, covering her face with her hands, heaving as she tried to hold back the tears. This was the first time she regretted her gift deeply. What was a tool to save her kind now became the source of much grief.

"Primary, I cannot see the future. I can only act in consequence to actions taken in the present, or in the past, and truth be told, I have always felt a great discomfort towards the prescience your kind possess. I have spent a long time becoming accustomed to your people's manners, and I still have much to learn, yet your behaviour now does nothing but confuse me. Can I be judged over acts that have not taken place yet? Doesn't my faithful service deserve a better evaluation and confidence than shown now?"

Taldeer sneered, feeling Khaine calling to her. The blood thirst that accompanied the Eldar since their god was taken away from them, split into pieces, tempted Taldeer to take a violent course against the assassin whose words, filled with hypocrisy, hurt her. Yet she would not have her children exposed to violence when they were so young.

"Faithful service? Don't make me laugh! Do you think you are the one who sacrificed the most to make this union work!? I had to introduce you to my kind! Your inferior body and mind inspired ridicule and shame that I had not known possible!"

"You took me away to a life I did not know, and had no experience in. Not only did I have to leave the life I knew, I had to become a completely new person! And that is all you can reproach me! Have I not taken to our family live with the utmost care and precaution? Have I not treated our children fairly and nurtured them to the best of my abilities!?"

"SHUT UP!"

>>1392726
Taldeer hit the table with her closed fists, trembling as the tears flowed.

"What do you know about taking care of our children!? You spend all your time at the Pathfinders club, talking about stupid, worthless sniping and hiding techniques...!"

"... I did that to fit in better!"

"...while you discriminated between our children!"

LIIVI's voice left him, a hot surge of fury driving up his spine and out of his mouth as his breath seemed to interrupt.

"What?"

"PRIMARY, SECONDARY, TERTIARY! You and your STUPID naming conventions! You and your assigning priorities to us! Do you know how Eltano feels, knowing that to you, he is the least worthy of love and protection!?"

"But I... I need to do that... in case that..."

"We live in a CRAFTWORLD! Do you think we can be attacked!? NO! And he resents knowing he is worthless to you! As if having a... a... a MON'KEIGH for a father wasn't enough! As if being ridiculed throughout the neighbourhood wasn't enough! At least Rhiantha can draw some happiness from being second only to me, but Eltano is the weakest link to you, and that hurts him! That HURTS him, LIIVI! Your attitude is HORRIBLE!"

>>1392727

Taldeer stood up again, this time gesturing at everything around her, making an arch in the air with a smooth movement of her arm.

"You treat our home as if it was a trap waiting to be sprung on us! At first, I thought this was normal since you were out of your usual habitat, but it has been YEARS! YEARS seeing you eye all of us suspiciously, coldly surveying our bedroom's door as if someone would have set explosives on it! Do you think I have not noticed the way you move? When you hug our children, it is as if you had seen a dagger in their hands, and... and..."

Taldeer lost steam as LIIVI put his hands on the back of his neck, and he leaned forwards over the table, his elbows on it, looking more ashamed than she had ever seen him.

"I have never done anything without having in mind my family's safety in consideration. Never. And I know I am an inferior creature in this place. I know I am like an animal displayed for the pleasure of others that think themselves superior to me. But I thought that it was all worth it if Primary allowed me to protect her, as well as Secondary and Tertiary..."

LIIVI rose to his full, black-clad height, and stared at the farseer with cold, hardened eyes. Distant and calculating, even now.

"Does Primary wish to releave me of my duties?"

The tension was, at the same time, there and not there. It was non-existant, yet thick and heavy like steam. It was a strange feeling for both. Sixteen years of marriage were hanging from two words. They could be 'I do', and the family Taldeer and LIIVI had struggled so much to form right from the beginning would collapse. They could be 'I don't', but could everything that was said tonight, and what both knew would happen and was happening, be erased from their minds?

Looking at each other, Taldeer and LIIVI realized that, after sixteen years of matrimony... they were still strange to each other.

>>1392729
"I do."

The tension that was there suddenly broke into pieces around them, and was absorbed by their bodies. Into their very being. LIIVI's next words came out as if they were a dying man's, low, whispered, no breath behind them.

"What about the children?"

"Rhiantha will become a farseer, like me. Eltano will become a Striking Scorpion, then a Dire Avenger, then a Warp Spider... and more, until he finally becomes an Autarch. I can't read deeper than that."

LIIVI took a hesitant step back, like a person that while heading somewhere, suddenly gets the feeling that he has forgotten something. Perhaps that was the case, as LIIVI headed for the hall. There, still standing on the stairs, was Tertiary. And at the door, Secondary. Both looked at him. Eltano, visibly curious. Rhiantha, visibly shaken. LIIVI felt that he had failed when he understood that both had heard what was being discussed.

LIIVI tapped Eltano's arm twice. He couldn't blame the boy for hating him. Truth was, LIIVI hated himself now. He had no words for his son, only wishes of good luck.

He turned to Rhiantha. It truly broke LIIVI's heart to leave her like this, but... it was the thing to do. It was not permanent, he would still visit. That much was obvious. But the intensity he hugged his daughter with would have made anyone watching doubt even that.

And it was as he hugged Rhiantha that LIIVI noticed the two suitcases beside the door. It seemed that Taldeer was an even better farseer than he thought. She knew, and also acted.

Standing up, LIIVI put on his coat, opened the door, and took the suitcases. He looked back at his children, knowing that this would be the last time he saw them for a long time... then walked out of the door, with no more words breaking the still air. He walked out into the night, sadness and regreat filling his heart.


*CRUNCH*

>>1392730
LIIVI turned, alarmed, at the noise behind him. There was a cardboard box there, torn apart, with black, cracked disks spilling out of it.

"My... my Disco Marines vynils!"

LIIVI's gaze rose to the windows of the second floor, and he saw Taldeer glare back at him, tears shining under her eyes like the morning dew on a rifle's scope. She turned away, her long, black hair waving like a dismissing hand. She turned away from his life...

She turned away from LIIVI's life without even seeing the tears on his eyes.


LOVE IS OVER>>1392730

In her regret, in her shame, in her grief, she whispered his name, "Liivi," wiping away at her eyes, "Fool of a mon'keigh," she coughed, gasped for breath, as she tried to even herself out, "There was NOTHING worth saving. Nothing, nothing," she whispered, shaking her head. She straightened. An eddy- someone coming. Macha. She scowled, wiping away at her tears. She wouldn't show that Biel Tan witch the slightest ounce of grief. Not give one inch.

Through the veil, she stepped. She was no longer clad in battle armor, a tranquil look on her face, dressed for peace. Immaculate and clean. Standing across from Taldeer, still in battle armor, bloodstained, dirty, hair mussed and tangled. All Taldeer wanted to do at that moment was hit her.

Macha gave her a contemptuous flick of her eyes, and shook her head. "I told you."
"Shut up," whispered Taldeer looking away.
"'Leave a scar' hmm? I didn't take that to mean you wanted to scar yourself," Her sarcasm dropped as she stepped forward, "How many were lost."
"Go away," Whispered Taldeer.
"I saw the survivors. A bare tenth of those that were there. Oh, I know you had your ever important crusade to fight against our ancient enemy-"
"Leave."
"-Who we defeated aeons ago, IGNORING our present enemies, who," A sarcastic grin appeared on our face, "Evidently, CRUSHED you and-" Macha stopped.
"Have you been crying?"

>>1392732

BAD END

sad thing is, it has her reaction what caused the banshee to find LIIVI abandoned and depressed and in need of some "comforting".

>>1392742
PREDESTINATION PARADOX, FUCK YEA

is there anymore to it?

>>1392771
no,not yet.

>>1392742
I wonder what her reaction would be if she found that out.

>>1392791
It would probably involve her father poking his head in and going "Didn't plan on that did you?" before she screamed so loud half the craftworld turned to wraith-putty.

>>1392797
Wow, ruins his first daughter's marriage beyond repair. Prevents his second daughter from ever having a physical relationship with anyone. Eldrad is certainly one hell of a dad.

>>1392714
It basically demonstrated how badly I suck at the traditional narrative format.

/r/ the drawfag pics of taldeer and liivi's daughter.

>>1392833

>>1392842
That was way too fucking fast.

>>1392848
I didn't draw that, if that's what you mean, it's old drawfaggotry. And no, I have no life, if that's what you meant.

One time, they managed to send a whole band of Orks at him. Each one at a different letter painted on their chests. It spelled out:

>>1392819
well, loosing both your first and your second wife during childbirth, both of which were of daughters which are frighteningly similar to their mothers is bound to mess whit your sanity after the first few decades

He was actually pretty proud of that one, and the new helmet they had for him when he got home since the old one had choppas embedded in it.

>>1392853
>>1392878
Naw I'm just lazy on eyes for cute stuff.

>>1392876
How on earth choppas got THERE we won't ask.

Eldrad's probably dicking her around. I recall an Ultramarine librarian was half eldar, as was a special bounty hunter character in Necromunda.

I am sure one day, everyone Eldrad has ever pissed off will get sick and tired of it and hire Kane and Tcheench to make a fool-proof plan that even he could not JUST AS PLANNED his way out of. It will involve Slaanesh and a rake as a sex toy.

>>1392877
Butt plug.

>>1392881
I am definitely liking this curvier Jean.

>>1392881
PROMOTIONS!

I WILL TAKE CARE OF THE FAGGOT FOR YOU!

RAGFHHHHHHHHH

>>1392899
He meant me.

now the chinks one, which I believe is also the oldest one

odlly enough, all drawfags always depict a mad dock as the obstetrician

>>1392902
Mad Dok doesn't charge that much, nor ask any questions as to why a weedie 'oomie n' a poinny ear are asking him to a deliver his child. He gets da teef, he doesn't ask questions.

Also, evidently everyone thinks that Eldar+Human=Tyranidish abomination.

Wait what, Taldeer having Tyranid babies?

i would have liked it if liivi was a woman instead.

>>1392910
Wouldn't it just be a half-elf?

>>1392911
"TYRANIDS IN MY VAGINA?"

Anyway, Taldeer's child will be a horrible freak of nature, because the whole "Half eldar, half human, all super and better than their parents!" has been overdone.

>>1392911
I hear there were Tyranids in her vagina at one point in time.

>>1392914
In theory, yes. But evidently when drawfags think "Mutant Freak" they think "Tyranidish kinda thingy."

>>1392902
I think there's a ninja in the background stealing a baby.

>>1392917
It's only been done in WHFB. 40K is too grim/dark for that.

>>1392916

/r/ing Jeanstealer promotions.

And that's how Klendathu was colonised.

>>1392917
SEE: Cynthia Von Doom.

>>1392926
Closest I have...

That makes me sad.

I always assumed a half eldar/human would have a massive connection to the warp but be completely unable to control it. Physically they would simply be a human with pointed ears but would be so screwed up in the head as to beg for a mercy death.

>>1392925
not back in RT, where half-eldars where the most common kind of rouge trader and marines used to customise and graffiti their own power armour.

>>1392738
And then they had sex.

>>1392940
>rouge

ಠ_ಠ

Taldeer didn't answer, sullenly staring away.
"Oh by the stones, you have been," Macha had a smile on her face. Taldeer turned, hissing.
"Good, fine, wonderful of you to find some bit of humor in this mess! Fine of you to have found the silver lining to this! Do you really take that much delight in my misery, you whore? You would see your fellow eldar dead so long as it hurts me?!"
"No I, I," Macha waved her hand, "I guess I never thought you COULD cry," She shook her head, a small grin on her face, "You have changed haven't you."

Taldeer stared at Macha, quivering, holding back, fighting it- before falling on Macha, weeping.
"Shshshshhhh, it's okay," Macha patted her, her voice muffled as Taldeer bawled on her, "It's okay...Khaine, I never would have that that you would feel grief."

Macha held her sister patiently, as Taldeer wrung out the last of her despair. Shaking her head the whole time, "Fanatic no more, hm?" She murmured, stroking her sister's hair.

Eventually, Taldeer quietened, and pulled back from Macha, silent. There was quiet. "I'm sorry," Macha eventually said.
"Th-Thank you. Now, if you would please leave me, I have to wait for the council's judgement," a pause, "Sister."
"Of course, sister," Macha nodded, turning back into the corridor, "We will talk again later?"
"Yes."

>>1392945
GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD

>>1392948
lolwut

>>1392937
Eldar Bookdex? Fuck yes Yagami, you are the best Elfdar player ever.

>>1392941
no, macha tried to comfort her whit sex, but taldeer was too depressed to care. she spend the next six days locked in her room casting the runes to try and find out how may surgeries will her freak need to be able to walk but her emotions get in the way each time she manges to focus on the thing growing on her entrails.

They came back. It went as expected. Stripped of rank, censured, no Ulthwe would bow their head to her anymore- she already knew, she wearily thought. They already knew she knew.

Partway through the display, she turned, and walked out of the court. No one moved to stop her. Another mark against her, she figured. She cleaned herself, changed, left her armor with a singer to get it repaired, and found Macha once more.

"Going to go hunt the necrons again?"
"Mm. No."
"I thought it was your responsibility?" Macha grinned, "To save our universe from this threat that you, you lone faithful follower of gods dead, could perceive?"
"My visions," Taldeer began to backpedal out of it, then shook her head, and continued, "My visions have been proving false of late."
"All of them?"
An unbidden thought came to her. Of a scarred man, looking her in the eye, ferociously warm.
"All of them."
"Hm."
They were walking to the Chapel of the Lost, the temple reserved for those gods that were slain by Slaanesh long, long before. Few visited, Taldeer among them.
"Notice you lost your soulstone."
"Yes," she paused, then smiled wistfully, "Another vision derailed. For the better I suppose. What are you doing here?"
"I heard you came in, that you were being put to trial for your failings," Macha was silent, "I was going to ask them to put you to death, and not let Eldrad give you a free ride. After Lorn-"
"And you didn't?"
"...You've changed. You've lost your self righteousness," Macha turned, and gave her a glare, "Not that I believe your punishment was unrighteous. I hope to never see you at the head of an army for a long time."
"Yes, yes, you're right," Taldeer sighed and nodded, "Let me pay my respects, then I'll be off."
"'Off?'"
"I'm leaving Macha," Taldeer entered the chapel, her offerings readied, "I'm unsure when I'll return."

>>1392972
"Scarring the universe again?" A sharp note of anger broke Taldeer's prayers, slopping some of the water on the statue of Ellyus, god of storms. Taldeer frowned, and mopped up the spill with her dress.
"No. No more of that. I have duties to engage in."
"What? What could possibly be...Oh. Oh. OH."
"What?" Snapped Taldeer turning, at the smiling farseer.
"Duties, huh? Duties to someone in particular?"
Macha waggled her eyebrows at Taldeer, who rolled her eyes, "Do you never think of anything else?" she murmured as she went back to work.
"Come on, this explains everything. Which was it? A ranger? That'd explain your eagerness to become an outcast. Or one of those quick warp spiders darted in and snatched your heart? You know I know some DELICIO-"
"Enough, I'm in the middle of my prayers. You can live your love life by proxy elsewhere."
Silence.
"That HURT sister."
Taldeer ignored her, thinking back to when she was young, and she memorized the Twelve Interpretations of Maya, reciting the well worn words to a dead god.

Are these two just the most dysfunctional family ever or what?

She was walking the path of the Outcast now. It was as simple as that. No ritual, no soul searing experience, no brand, nothing. She just stepped through the door, and that was it. Terrifying. In the book of her life, rites were her grammar. A Ceremony of Birth, daughter of celebrated Eldrad, brought her into this world. A Obeisance of Contrition when she disobeyed. Her entrance to the road of the farseer was wreathed in mysteries and inscrutable dances of protocol. Now.

She stood on the threshold to the Craftworld's Fool's Court. The Court where the outcasts lived and engaged in, which Ulthwe had established for vagabonds to make their own, long, long before. To be sure, she had gone there before, when she was younger, but now, she was going to stay here.

The Harlequin of Kronus had told her there were other ways off of Kronus before. And her smug pity had spoken she had known what the farseer would go through. She wondered, bitterly, if the Harlequin was waiting out there, for Taldeer to pass her by, to make more commentary on it.

"Daughter."
Taldeer turned, to her father's voice, even if it was in her head.
"You intend to go then. To find the mon'keigh."
"Yes," she whispered through her helm, now repaired, "There is a crew of outcasts I have arranged with. They'll take me to Patrochus, a free world-"
"Free worlds, daughter, are haven to chaos, and chaos-"
"I'm well aware of your fears father. What your stones tell you will occur, when next the Eye of Terror will yawn open. But I need to do this."
Eldrad approached, his face taut, holding back his emotions.
"At a word, I could ground their craft. I can make them return you. I can bind you here, until this foolish madness of yours has faded."
"But you won't."

They locked, eye to visor for a moment, before she cocked her head, "Why was it so much easier for you to let me take an army to Kronus, than for I alone to go?"

She did not wait for an answer. She turned, and walked to find her craft.

This time I am saving it.

"Where is she!" Caerys ran past Eldrad, hesitating at the entrance into the Fool's Court.
"Who?" Eldrad mumbled, turning away.
"Taldeer! Taldeer! I just got back, and heard she was headed this way- My lord Eldrad, I, I,"
"No, no," he stepped slowly away, picking up speed, "It's quite alright Caerys, I understand you're excited about becoming a farseer."
"Oh, thank you my lord, but, Taldeer?"
Eldrad turned, narrowing his eyes at Caerys, Taldeer's protege. Shorter, yes, perhaps a bit more wan, and chipper, but, in almost every other way, the same.
"Gone."
She was dumbfounded, "Gone? GONE? But, my lord," she adopted a lecturing tone, "She PROMISED me that she would be ready to congratulate me when I gained my title, and donned my armor that I would."
Eldrad's patience ran out.
"Did you not HEAR me you natty little WENCH? She's gone! Vanished! Disappeared into thin air, to never be found again! Abandoning her craftworld in shame for her utter defeat on Kronus!" He turned, stomping away, leaving the shocked Caerys standing shock still, "And you're just one more student, you twit."

Caerys stood stock still, still clutching her two bags of seer stones, matching, that she had hand carved for her initiation, staring after Eldrad.

"...Defeated?"

Statistic never lies, die you heretic propagationist!

Imber was once a Eldar Maiden World. Once. Now, it teemed with humanity, there were a few tribes of eldar left, and even a Tau embassy. It was a world, only recently discovered by a band of Explorators who had sent reports to the sector command that there was a world that needed to be brought back into the fold. The Sector command had its hands full with a recent crippling warpstorm settling on a system, so it sent back orders little heard- Negotiate.

As of such, for the past six months, the tenuous nations of the planet were enjoying brisk trade, lavish gifts, and low scale gang wars as the Tau and Imperial delegations struggled against one another, and the recent cult that sprang up about a word bearer that was attempting to convert the populace. Imber at the moment was the perfect place for anyone to find whatever they needed.

Currently, just outside of one of the larger space ports on the Equatorial hub, there was a building where coarse intoxicating poisons were served. For some reason, some subconscious consensus was reached across all humanity that where alcohol is served, is where business should be done.

"Hm. Now, and the, ah, pay?"
"Whatever you pick off of the ships, I only care about one item of cargo. You can split it with your crew as you wish."
"Mm, and uh, if I may just ask again what the targets were?" From underneath the long coat, a slender, mesh armored arm grew, grasping the wooden cup filled with water, and pulling it to the hood.
"The Inquisition."

>>1393102
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUN

>>1393092
>>1393096
Oh, it's worse than that. So much worse.

>>1393102
I'm enjoying this. It's enough to make a guy want more. Love Can Bloom 2: Bloom Harder

Taldeer, fuck yeah.

"Yeh, yeh," Torbett scratched his chin, nodding, "And, the pay is again?"
"Whatever you get off the ship," dark eyes glared from beneath the hood, "I rather dislike repeating myself."
"I was just checking, because, see," Torbett spread his hands in a gesture of confusion, "That just doesn't make any sense. Why, pray tell, do I go ahead and piss off the foremost organization of psychotic corpse producers in the galaxy, on the off chance that I might be able to grab something of theirs? As far as I see it, there are three major flaws in this plan, number one," Up rose one damaged digit, "I have to get the stuff first, number two," Arose the second digit, "Once I have the stuff, I'll be hunted from here to the Eye of Terror for having it, and number three," Rose the third, then hesitated, then sank back down, "Alright, I don't have a third, but I think the first two are strong enough to stand on their own here. Sorry, but there isn't enough to appeal to me for this," Torbett leaned back in his chair, sucking down his drink, "Slag off."
The woman across from him sat still hands gripping the table for a moment, before relaxing, "Very well then," she said as she stood, "I suppose I won't have to waste any more words with you then sir, if you're unwilling to reach for more than just your mug of piss, I can't bother with it," Taldeer stamped away from the latest in a long string of rejections.

The outcast crew had been kind enough to drop her here, but regrettably, had not been enamored of the mission either, especially when she wouldn't explain the details. Now she had been stuck on this heap of dirt for a week, with nothing to show for it other than having lost what little funds the outcasts had given her at the start.

>>1392594
It would have been better if Taldeer said "Yep!" and then Eldrad was all "Meet me at the Holy Stairs of Ulthwe!"

>>1393129
"Father, why are you taking a run up the hallway of the Aspect's Kick?"

Wait is the shit being posted now still Dagdas, or is this Bloomguy?

>>1393133
It is a mystery, ooooo.

>>1393133
Not Dagda. Reads like Bloomguy, not entirely sure though, it has been a long while.

She stepped out into the humid street, tugging the coat she had been given around herself, tucking low the hood. Eldar trade was frequent, but she had no desire to advertise her condition more than entirely necessary.
"Please, oh honored and wisened sister, may you spare some pity for one of your kin?"
She stopped, glancing back at the corner. It was an eldar, like her, under a paper thin blanket. One of those eldar that got run out of the tribes, or a ship borne one that got left behind. She frowned, reaching into her messenger bag. A pair of coins, the last she had.

It wasn't like she could have bought anything for it. She dropped it into the bowl, with a mumbled, "May you find your way into Shar'ess' heart once more."

Every day that she had been here, she had found a different eldar beggar. And each time, she had given to them. It was strange, to see her people brought low like this, outside of a war.

"May you find your way home," sung back as she walked on.

So Taldeer is having a baby(if eldar even have babies)?

>>1393148
It's been done.

Wat? I thought Taldeer ended as a prisoner of the Blood Ravens...

There's clearly only one way this story could go for awesomeness

Taldeer leading a wacky Tau and Eldar Kill Team on a rescue mission. Like the A-Team, only with a reinforced Devilfish.

>>1393160
Goto isn't Canon, LCB is.

>>1393160
No one ever pays any attention to CS Goto. Ever.

On the corner, one of the new domed buildings had been constructed. The city (Taldeer wondered briefly if it had a name; no thoughts she had yet touched had mentioned a name for this place) was a riotous argot, most in the native style, but as the Imperial cult spread, they began to sport carvings of gargoyles, frescoes, even in some wealthier cases, stone being imported. All the Tau buildings were uniform, cornerless ovoids, evidently prefabs cranked out and shipped from somewhere on planet, and what few buildings sported open Chaos affiliation, well, she stayed away from. Worrying runes, meaningless graffiti, invectives against "the corpse god," all that.

She avoided both the Imperial and Chaos buildings, veering instead for a corner that had seen a new Tau building mushroom up. Each of the factions had their gifts for the common people, each of them attempting to foster a common revolution against the far too clever leaders of their nations who chose no sides. The people were exceptionally capable at imitating those they followed, and even the beggars grew fat from the donations given.

She reached and grabbed a bowl from the smiling young man who had shaved his head, a pathetic stub of hair growing that he would attempt to cultivate in imitation of his masters. The queue moved along until she managed to get to the server, an older man with a beard who somehow managed to resist the urge to take hairstyling tips from an alien species.

He looked at her as he filled her bowl with hot soup, then said, "You've been here before, haven't you?"
"Ah-"
"Well, you can come inside," He said cheerily, waving her back into the building, "I'm sure A'O'Tulro would love to-"

"I think not," she said, and with a mental flick of her wrist, the man blinked a moment, staring ahead as she moved on. He only worked out of his stupor when the next in line tapped the man on his shoulder.

This is not the Farseer you're looking for. Move along.

>>1393164
THIS

>>1393178
Especially for the moment where they're successful and Taldeer pops a cigar into her mouth and goes "I love it when a plan comes together".

Then the Kroot driving the Devilfish turns and goes "YOU DIDN'T HAVE NO PLAN FOOL". They have to escape via manta which involves drugging the Kroot's corpse. Not his corpse of course, the one he was going to eat.

>>1393165
Toph is the only good loli

She sat on the corner, gulping the soup down, uncaring of the heat of it. They had grown more watery as of late she noted, but she wasn't about to beggar food from the Imperials or the "Bearers of the Word." Tau, despite their faults at least didn't have a kill policy for her race.

"Oh mistress of the stones..." Just as Taldeer finished her soup, it was that beggar again.
"Ma'am, I have nothing else for you," She said coldly, dropping the bowl to her side, "And if you want to eat I recommend you get in line like the rest."
The blanketed figure shook her head, only saying, "I told, there were other ways off of Kronus."

The Harlequin. For a moment, the mask's holo field dropped, revealing the truth of it, before it slid back into the normal aged face.

"I swore to serve you so long as you had a mission of worth," She cocked her head, "I believe that your mission is worth something."
"Oh. So can I have my money back?"
"I've been throwing it away," The mask's field twisted into the face of Eldrad, all disapproval, "It was worthless, you've been living with the humans like this, beggaring food from the Tau? Honestly."
"I just need to find a crew."
"A crew?" The face flicked into Olono, the God of Wonder, first to fall to Slaanesh, "You don't have one already? Come," the face switched back to a disguise, "First, I must tell you what has happened, then, we shall get a crew for you, simple child," The Harlequin grabbed Taldeer's wrist, dragging her along the street, toward the older portions of town.
"You CAN'T be older than me."
"But the stories I've learned are. Now silence, and follow."

Down the winding dirt road they stepped, through the humid and clouded air of insects.

mother fucker, keeping me up all night, i gotta work in 12 hours, but can't keep away from the stories

>>1393208
I need to sleep too. Let's call it a night then.

>>1393215
But!

>>1393215
night, keep us all posted on any updates, alot of people probibly won't admit it, but they wanna see more of this.

thanks for the writings though.

>>1393204
I knew we hadn't seen the last of sassy Harlequin.

>>1393224
This has ensured her immortality.

Do harlequin masks work this way?

>>1393229
how come no one has made a nude version of this yet...

>>1393234
Why not?

>>1393234
Harlequin masks do shift in features. That plus their holofield could indeed make a good disguise.

>>1393204
>"Oh. So can I have my money back?"
>"I've been throwing it away,"

Honestly, this line is even funnier if you know that Soulstorm has a bug where the Harlequin's 'leaping all over the goddamn place' ability actually resets all the user's power and requisition to 0.

>>1393237
Just wondering. See, because I vaguely remember there being this fluff entry about Harlequins using their masks to reenact plays or shit like that.

>>1393247
Yay, someone got my reference. But really I need to fucking sleep.

>>1393248
They also serve to forever mask the identity of the Harlequin, to utterly distance them from their former existence. They become nothing but the parts they constantly play.

>>1393250
Oh you. Pleasant dreams.

>>1393075
"Eldrad, hey Eldrad! I brought Taldeer dice!"
"Taldeer is dead to us now. Also you suck."
"Nyoro~n"

I like that the Eldar aren't retarded, and have decided to strip Taldeer of her rank and privileges. But where's LIIVI?

>>1393289
Imprisoned on an Inquisition ship. That's why Taldeer has to find a bunch of dudes with bad attitudes and nothing to lose.

>>1393289
The Inquisition has him.

>>1393294
The potential for epic is there, one can only hope it's run with.

>>1393294
I'm thinking Farsight Loyalists.
Who listen to devo and Electric Light Orchestra.

>>1393308
No actually Taldeer is going to see a counselor, and she'll learn to give up on LIIVI and live a spinster, alone, taking care of her retarded child on this planet.

>>1393311
... Will there be epic retarded child breast feeding?

>>1393311
She trades her runes for cats and a moth eaten cardigan? Makes sense. Let's go with that.

>>1393309
A pair of orks who got lost and are "only stayin' 'bout to keep in prime krumpin' condition 'till wez findz our way to Arm-agh-eddin'." An old guardsman who constantly says "I'm too old for this shit," and gripes about being with a bunch of frikkin' xenooos. A loli techpriest and the mindwiped nine foot tall combat servitor that used to be her heretical father.

>>1393315
COMING THIS FALL ON ABC

>>1393315
I like where this is going...

A corpulent and eminently hedonistic navigator, borne about on a hover palanquin. An ever charming Rogue Trader, goatee and all, who attempts to woo the fair Taldeer, a squat, the last of his people out with a gru

>>1393315
In the corner of the Kroot-looted Devilfish that they use for their daring raid is a single Fire Warrior. He seems distant from the others, staring and watching as they argue with one another. Only Taldeer seems to notice that occasionally one of his hands strays to his lap, then with a pause and a tremble he clenches his fist and pulls it away.

Muttering "I have to break the cycle".

>>1393323
A pamphleteer for the gretchin revolution?

>>1393336
In before green tits.

>>1393336
A Gretchin revolutionary, trying to hitch a ride back to Gorkamorka, after a catastrophically failed Tellyporta error. Has a grudge against the orky pair. Also, is their translator.

;-;

>>1393336
A combat servitor who was inadvertently programmed to be an Administratum Adept's assistant, constantly trying to assist with menial tasks in spite of the fact both his arms are giant buzzsaws.

>>1393345
"Somebody pass the salt?"
"I. WOU-"
"That ISN'T Killstremus Maxigore?"

>>1393349
"I. HAVE. SET. THE. TABLE."
"The table is in five pieces and the dishes are embedded in the orks."
"YOU'RE. WELCOME"

We need to get a Battlefleet Gothic pdf to decide what they're flying around in.

>>1393356
Buggy, damaged, Necron ship that they have to trick into thinking that they are in fact purging all life in the galaxy.

>>1393356
Kroot-looted Tau stuff, obviously. The Devilfish transport they ride around in daubed crudely in red since the two orks consider themselves the authority on smashin' humie houses.

>>1393365
FOR THE GREATER LULZ

A H'run, who wears a tweed waistcoat plus boater hat and constantly says things like "Oh, by my paws and whiskers!"

>>1393377
Is he exploded in the first paragraph?

>>1393380
I'm confident a much better demise could be thought up.

Cassern, a fellow fond of multilasers.

Slain in the second sentence of his introduction over the course of five paragraphs.

>>1393389
By an Eldar loli farseer with tentacles, for poetic justice.

And finally, a veteran Valhallan captain...

>>1393391
No, that's the way he'd WANT to go.

They board a space hulk, whichb actually turns out to be the blasted remains of a galactic dry cleaning service.

Yes, it is contaminated by jeanstealers.

>>1393397
No, I mean she just shoots him in the head with a shuriken pistol, and you go all Tom Clancy with five paragraphs of detail on the blood splatter.

>>1393413
Still the way he'd want to go.

Goddamned sick fuck.

>>1393391
>Eldar loli farseer with tentacles

>>1393416
If C.S. Goto ends up in it, I want to be in it to fulfil my life goal of fighting him to the death.

This thread needs to be archived.

NOW.

Holy shit, /tg/. You bust this much win out for the start of my vacation? You're AWESOME!

Forgive me, but please, please, please, writefag, give us a happy ending. I want something so sweet my teeth turn black, so cheesy my arteries clang in protest, and so schamtlzy it makes Pretty Woman look like Citizen Kane.

Please?

>>1392594

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY UNPROTECTED SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

>>1393837
Macha rescues her sister from the Inquisitors and they live happily ever after in space with the deformed baby and the Harlequin chick. The end.

Alternatively, everyone dies.

>>1393395
Conversion idea! Also, would be awesome.
>>1393876
They were in the middle of the wildnerness, in a warzone, one thing leads to another, badda bing badda boom Slaanesh goes "lol."

this thread has finally driven me to get off my ass and read the original. whoever you are, writefag, you're good.

>>1394379
The original what?

>>1394443
I've never actually read "Love can bloom". I'm going to, though.

>>1394379
Kharn writer?

>>1393587

Then copy the thread id (1392594), go to 4chanarchive.org, request interface and bam we're one closer. We need five requests I think.

Archive. We need 3 more.

>>1394736
On it.

http://www.wikichan.org/index.php/Love_Can_Bloom#Chapter_IX

Uh oh

How do you archive?

>>1394753
Don't worry about it, it's been done.

>>1394751
The daemonette was messing with LIIVI's mind forcing him to recall some assassination from his past.

>>1394753

Uh... I just posted this, genius.

>>1394733

Holy jeebus. I realize I'm just begging for trouble here, but not one sage, not one disparaging comment... WHAT DA FUCK?

>>1394882
this is the greatest story evar toled thats why.

Wow, we dodged a mary-sue bullet there.

sage

I enjoyed it. Is BW back then, or is this a new guy?

>>1395522
A new guy. Aside from that, the title of Bloomwriter has been held by MANY anons. There is no one person.

>>1393075
HAHA CAERYS, your feelings of inadequacy and abandonment bring me joy.

I'm tempted to sage for all the people linking to the 4chan archive, and not to suptg. You're bad, bad people.

Suptg is the REAL /tg/ archive.

suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com

>>1394099
Yes but what bloody chapter do they do it?
This confounded story never made any sense!

>>1395750
Again, parts were never saved. And I believe it wasn't "RAW PULSATING COCKS ENTERED TALDEERS ANUS NOSTRILS AND KIDNEYS (If eldar even have kidneys)" so you aren't missing much.

>>1395769
If it was done in the same "BLIND KITTEN TOWERS" style of BW then I wanted to see it.
Meh.

>>1395879
>BLIND KITTEN TOWERS

This I must see.

>>1395525
Bloomwriter isn't just one person?

>>1395893
Bloomwriter is many.
Bloomwriter is legion.

>>1395893
As far as I know he is.
>>1395886
"Her feet barely touch the snow. To Eldar, all mankind move clumsily, and slowly, kittens staring about in the dark, their arms blindly reaching to the sky like teetering towers, waving back and forth, unsure nerve and tendon spasming. Men looking upon Eldar see disquieting grace."
LCB isn't actually very good at all. Or more accurately the story is good, but is written very badly.

in before bloomwriter is miko is kharnwriter is anymouse is bloomwriter

>>1394676
Don't look at me. Everyone knows I don't have the patience for more than one post per story. I am the one who got the money rubbishing joke, though. Also the one demanding the K-Team antics.

I'm thinking the world of Imber has potential though.

While on Imber, there needs to be some conflict, partly during the recruiting of the cast, and the escape as the Imperium arrives to cleanse the heresy, the Xenos, and the chaos taint, and bring the world back into the fold of the Imperium.

What kind of trouble you ask? Why nothing more than....


ANGRY MARINE BAR FIGHT!

>>1396101
The mental imagery you've just created is possibly the most glorious thing I've ever imagined.


Small group of Angry Marines, 3-7 of them in total. Imagine now if you will a slightly intoxicated (on an elixir of pure condensed rage), picking up a Tau, and using him as a club to beat people to death. Imagine if you will, a Angry Marine running at 2 guys, clothes lining them, and then beating them to death with Power Fists. The twp Recruited Orks smashing tables onto of people who aren't even involved, oh it's glorious.

>>1396101
>>1396137
SQUIG IN DA HOLE!!1

>>1396137
It is INDEED glorious.

Oh man, Taldeer's getting her space pirate on?

>>1396101
They have to "Vanish" before the rest of the Imperium shows up. Mainly because I just don't see how they could make any real sense in the greater scheme of an Imperium Invasion. So seeing a small group of Angry marines throughout the story, either as Comedic relief/ Ass kicking/ comedic ass kicking would be awesome. Kind of like this.

>>1396137
Eventually, the Angry Marines have to move on, so they send in the Angry Marine MPs who are just Angry Marines fitted with power feet, kicking aside the crowds and stomping any likely targets, before dragging off the irascible brawlers.

>>1396188
So you want them written like....an Ultra angry, violent version of the X-tacles from Frisky Dingo?

What always warms my heart is how Angry Marines always look like someone just shat in their coffee, even though they were fucking helmets.

I really like this.

>>1396190
No, not the Angry Marine MP's

The Imperial Angry Guard.

So can we get a roster for the Crew?

Tau Fire Warrior
2 Orks
A Loli Tech priest/ Servitor Dad?

>>1396278
Some vagabond Eldar?

>>1396278
Rogue Trader Captain
Taldeer (Duh)
The Harlequin (Presumably?)

>>1396188
>>1396190
>>1396137
>>1396101
If there are only two repeating gags or sub plots I want to see, it's the small group of Angry Marines who are too fucking Angry to use a map, and the IMPERIAL INQUISITION!

>>1396287
>Rogue Trader Captain
Should be this man and his bodyguards.

>>1396305
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE?"
"Go check the fucking map if you're fucking lost."
"I'm not fucking lost! You're lost! YOU CHECK THE MAP!"
"SHUT UP TITSWOGGLER AND LOOK AT THE MAP"
"NO U"

*Thunderhawk slams into town*
"Fuck."
"Well we're somewhere. Let's find a bar and let the Captain know we lost another Thunderhawk."

>>1396308
Looks to loyal to the Imperium to accept fukken XENOOOOOOs.

>>1396308
Looks like /tg/ doesn't care anymore.

>>1396308
Dapper moustache, futuristic monocle/bionic eye, iron jaw, and an all-female crew of personal bodyguards?

Yes.

Yes.

A million times, yes.

>>1396331
Don't be fooled by the commissar, Repentia, and crusader in Grey Knight armor. This man has been known to collaborate with alien powers. You can tell by the way his massive manstache curls up at the ends.

That's alien technology at work, that is.

>>1396358
Cor!

>>1396336
Care about what?

>>1396224

Obligated to make at least one appearance.

Or we could not demand insertion of every half baked meme into the story and let the writer write.

>>1396372
Seems a good idea.

>>1396388
Also a very good idea.
...still want an Angry Marine bar fight.....

Err oh err bampu.

Will this be continued?

>>1396847
Yes

>>1396903
When?

>>1398052
When you least expect it I imagine.

Imber sounds like it'd make a good Dark Heresy campaign setting.

>>1393315
A drawfag here. That's so crazy I just might have to sketch that...

Just not tonight, I need sleeeeeeeep

I better not miss part 2 of this thread tomorrow
