>>I think it’s about time we put an end to this.

Your head cocks toward Selene who places her bat on her shoulders.

[ ] Team Attack: Beast Awakening

All at once, your team’s power resonates with one another. You feel unnaturally energized and nimble.

You step forward and attempt to strike Raven, but she dodges. However, right above her, is Kuhn holding his rifle pointed directly at her. He fires, but, again, she dodges. Selene moves in next, giving a baseball swing, though she ducks. You step forward, slashing your katana upward, but, again, she narrowly avoids it. She leaps back for distance between you three.

You’re pushing her back.

“-trying to catch her breath- … Argh, Damn it… Why?! Why are you getting in my way?!”

>!

A white flash echoes in your mind, but quickly goes away.

“Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh!”

Raven rushes the group with her blade outstretched.

>[X] Roseau Shoot, followed by a upper cut with the bat

This.

Shoot her.

Wielding a high-powered, and no doubt, heavy artillery rifle in one hand with ease? Fuck yeah, Kuhn!

FUCKING COMBINATION ATTACK, YOU FUCKERS. THIS IS THE PERFECT MOMENT FOR IT!

THIS SCENE, IT WAS MADE FOR ME!
drrrdrrr.jpg

>>5104039
Best to save power for now so we don't blow it all on one hit, miss and die.

Why have all of the named NPCs in this game so far been girls?

>>5104042
We're going to throw peas at the giant robot crab with the off chance there is a bigger robot crab over the next hill.

>>5104056
>>Soldier male ally
>>Male

>>5104056

That's a very good question. It's just coincidence, really.

>>5104065
There's also the whole thing where she's your sister and has a very good chance of knowing lots of things about you, so it would be better not to kill her yet.

Just saying.

>>5104105
But it's not true, Kuhn is named.

>>5104138
Plus she's our sister for crying out loud and we're playing a good guy. We can't kill her, only kick her ass and capture her.
Hey, she'll join the party maybe, worked for Selene.

The next part is kind of long so I apologize for keeping you waiting.

>>5104175

Nevermind. I'm going to split it up.

>>5104157

Good point.

Kuhn pointed his rifle at Raven, who was rushing toward them. He pulled the trigger, but the amount of bullets that emerged wasn’t proportionate to the single shell he should have fire. The bullets zipped toward her, forming a circle rotating in a circle.

>>>Roseau Shoot

Raven sliced through them with amazing speed, but there was one she was not able to defend against. It embedded itself in her shoulder of her sword wielding arm. She stepped back in pain, but was completely unaware that Selene had already reached her in vacant moment caused by pain. By the time she realized this, her bat had already connected with her chin, which sent her reeling in even more pain.

Her head stayed cocked backward from the attack.

“Damn it… why…? Why… do all of you… keeping getting… in my way?!”

She head dropped down and she gripped it in frustration.

“Move! Get out of my way!”

The earth beneath began to quake violently.

“Or else…”

A white flash entered your mind.

Raven suddenly looked upward; her expression being one of pure ecstasy and lust for blood.

“Or else I’ll eat you alive!”

A black aura consumed Raven’s being as she began to scream. It poured over her with amazing speed until there was nothing left that could be considered human.

>Selene! Get away!

Raven’s dark hand shot out to her side and a blade emerged from her palm. Said sword then began to hook at the end, making it a grotesque blood red scythe.

>>>She’s a grim reaper!

Selene was frozen in fear for the first time in her entire life as the newly created weapon of the former Raven was raised in the air.

[ ] Save Selene
[ ] Do nothing

>>5104168
Ehhh. For now, at least.

All bets are off if she continues attempts on our life after capture.

>>5104168
Then we'll have someone to distract Kuhn with while we make our inevitable moves on Selene

>>5104197
Well, Selene just saved our ass so it's apparently time to return the favor.

[x] Save Selene

>>5104197

Oh fuck.

>>5104197
Save Selene

>>5104197
Well so much for traveling with the sister. Save Selene. Have Kuhn give us covering fire. Should we not be able to save her without taking damage, go bear. We'll be able to survive more damage for longer as a bear.

[X] Save Selene

>>5104197

Hul... eeh I mean bear out and kill her dead!
(Not Selene, obviously.)

Save her using BEAR FORM.

>>5104065
Looks like we found the bigger crab.

>>5104244
>>5104235
>>5104240


If you transform into a bear, you won't be able to reach her in time. The transformation would take longer than an already in motion strike from a powerful enemy. Not to mention, you're already slowed down considerably in that form.

Do you still want to transform?

>>5104268
Indeed. Hey, I was on the side of saving our power.

>>5104268

True

>>5104240

I retract my former statement and say we should make a combination attack.

I think now would be a good time for a strategic withdrawl. Signal Kuhn to throw another flashbang if he can while we save Selene and then book out of there.

>>5104284
no save comrads first

>>5104284
Oh right, it's not half a second. Fuck.

Alright, so just run and save her with the covering fire from Kuhn.

>>5104284
Well if we can't save her in time with bear form then there's no point in going bear, is there?

Just Light Step over and save her.

Guys, we're dealing with a MONSTER now, who is already IN midswing to kill Selene. We really don't have time to talk or even signal Kuhn - we barely have time to move.

[ ] Save Selene

>>5104284
block the attack then turn into bear form.

Save Selene, no bear form.

>Press X to save Selene

>>5104317
If you have time to jump at her, you have time to shout out to Kuhn. If he's as experienced as he acts, just calling out his name will give him an idea of what you mean.

>>5104328
Doesn't look very blockable.

Just save Selene and then reassess the situation. Taunting Raven might be good, she seems very emotional and it might leave her open for the combo attack.

Save Selene with Light Step 1

>>5104355

Good idea! Let's do this!

>>5104197
Save Selene. Reasons:
Look manly & awesome.
Give her a reason to like us more.
Get thanks and maybe a kiss for it later.
It's the right thing to do.

Save Selene.

>>5104380
and die while looking cool

Do nothing

[X] Save Selene

I have a problem.

I've taken your posts and suggestions and formulated what I'm going to write. The only problem is that this post will now seem as if I'm railroading, though I'm really not - I have certain situations set up if certain things happen, and certain plot points become apparent because of the former, and so on. The only issue is this post just seems extra plot-driven and railroad-y.

I would like your opinions and thoughts before I begin.

>>5104388
She's saved us several times. Saving her life is the right thing to do.

>>5104405
Go for it. We're asking too much of you to continue this anyway. Do w/e you want and I'm sure we'll be fine with it in one way or another.

>>5104405
As long as we save Selene, it's cool.

>>5104405

I'm pretty sure we just want choice and more choice for the nostalgia of choose your own adventure book

NICE WORK GUYS, WE PROBABLY WOULD'VE JUST ANNIHILATED HER OUTRIGHT IF WE USED THE COMBINATION ATTACK. NO ATTACK WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT MUCH AWESOME WOULDN'T HAVE ONE-SHOT A BOSS >::(

OH WELL, INITIATE PROTOCOL "SAVE SELENE"

>>5104405
Railroading is fine people don't watch halo cutscenes and think its railroading. Sometimes a GM must take control to advance plot.

and besides this is a real nostalgia trip for me reminds me of reading those "choose your own adventure books" I loved as a kid.

>>5104424
This too. I think we as players would like to be able to not feel like a no win situation. Maybe that's how you mean by "on rails", but I'm sure that as players that if you want to kill off a character we'd like a choice about which one dies.

>>5104405
Looks like Kuhn is going to shoot us in the back and Selene is going to die.

>>5104453
In tabletop I'm fine with death being an ever-present reminder that the dice can swing against you in battle, but in choose your own adventures it's pretty frustrating when you choose "Do A!" every time and get an automatic "A fails!"

Mostly because the only way you can interact with the story is choosing A, so it seems like you were cheated when the only thing you were actually able to choose is thwarted by plot.

That said, time to roll the dice I guess. Let's try to save everyone and not get raped in the process, but it turns out the way it turns out.

>>5104405
It's cool, dawg.

This IS a CYOA anyway. Results are supposed to be scripted.

Kuhn fires several shots as you dash forward as fast as you can. The bullets enter the body of the beast, but it shows no signs of slowing down. You suddenly vanish and kick Selene out of the way. The scythe, which was already airborne, comes down and slices through your entire being.

>D-damn it…

With the beast roaring, you are continuously attacked, your blood flowing out of your wounds from the sheer speed and staining the ground.

>Something’s wrong…

>heartbeat

>I can’t…

>heartbeat

>…feel any of this…

Time seems to halt completely as you hear your heartbeat echo inside your own head. The entirety of your vision is soon filled with blackness. Though you cannot see, a being of white manifests behind you and places their hand on your head. You scream loudly as you are consumed by a white light.

Theme Music: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=4jmxrX

Time resumes as normal and you are continuously beaten upon by the beast. Her claws dig into your skin, infecting you with each strike; she’s nothing but a monster now. Selene, her composure now regained, stared in awe as you’re continuously pummeled and attacked. “What the…?” Raven’s demonic hands rise in the air and a blood colored scythe is formed. She stabs the end of it into your chest, which protrudes to the other side. “Stop it…” The weapon grows bright and vanishes.

“No…” Raven points her palm at your being and you’re blasted with several black orbs created from her dark being. Selene looks at her hands as she hears the roaring of the beast. “Stop this…” You’re punch in the stomach and sent flying in the air. One of Raven’s tentacles shoots out after you and wraps around your neck, bringing you back to her. She continues to beat on your being continuously with her fist – starting from the body and localizing on your blood stained head. “Please stop! That’s enough! I told you to stop it!” The being continues to punch you. “Hey! Cut it out! Stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop!”

Theme Music: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=vNmt1K

Raven continues to pummel your face until she’s suddenly stopped.

Your hand has risen and stopped her blows. You rip apart the tentacle that was wrapped around your neck. Your body glows with a fierce white aura to offset the ominous black one your younger sister emanates from her being.

>Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh!
>>!

The aura blows apart, which forces your opponent away, and forms several heavenly white swords that surround your being.

>Deluge Array.

The monster that is your sister roars before its hand shoots out from its side to form that familiar scythe and flies toward you. “Stop… please stop it… Adahn! Run, run away!” You chuckle silently to yourself before scratching your face in an bashful manner.

>I guess… I was never really prepared for this kind of thing…
>>Please… just go!
>I’m sorry, but this is the only way I could think of.

You smile at her as tears begin to fall down her cheeks.

Your sister had just reached you; the both of you yell at one another as your attacks collide. “Adaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn!” Your weapons are broken by the slash which penetrates your defense and being. “!” You fall from the sky, your spectacular white aura dissipating with each passing second. Raven’s scythe vanishes as she holds her hand near her face, which shakes violently, growling and roaring as she pointed at descending you.

“Please, don’t.” An intricate glyph manifests in front of the demon’s hand. Selene grabs her head in a panicked manner as Raven prepares and fires her attack. “Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stoooop, stop, stop, stop, stop, STOP!” Selene begins to sob as she continuously yells, only ceasing when she hears your screams. Her eyes that she instinctively closed, stares up at the scene.

Raven and you become connected by several black tentacles which extend from her palm. White energy turns the dark tentacles gray as it courses through and ending at Raven’s being. The tentacles vanish and the being of darkness descends from the sky slowly. Selene stares at your falling person with tears in her eyes, proceeding to run over and attempt to catch you, but failing. She cradles your head on your lap as she tries to wake you up, or herself, from a dream. When nothing happens, she cries out in pain.

“Hahaha… yes… I did it… I finally did it…” Raven says out loud to herself while she stares at your limp body.

>click

“All you did was piss me off.” In a single moment, Kuhn had managed to get behind the distracted Raven and drill a bullet directly in the back of her head. She fell, limp, first to her knees and then on her chest. Kuhn spit against the ground as he looked down upon his target. With her out of the way, he began to walk over to the sobbing Selene and your body.

>>On that day… we lost something that couldn’t be replaced…

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

So now what?

WE FUCKING DIED?

our collective ass is dead ?

>>5104803
Well we did sort of rush into the path of a demonic scythe. If we were wanting to live no matter what we would have just let her die.

Oh well, at least we saved our companions.

Well played, OP. Well played.

This is not the end of your tale.

FUCK YER ZOMBIE BEAR?

GET UP. GET UP, WE'RE NOT FUCKING DEAD, WE CAN'T DIE, NOT YET.

So uh... do we go back a page, or reload from a savepoint/checkpoint or what?

>>5104858
What, we play as Selene now?

... that would be cool.

DO. NOT. WANT!

Last instant we dive into our collective consciousness and memories. SOMETHING must have happened that let us survive the attack as long as we did. There must be a solution or some sort of magic behind it, and at death's door your life flashes before your eyes.

Gather Information check yourself.

>>5104858

I would hope not.

How about we pick...
[X] Live goddammit!

>>5104868

There is no reloading in OPs story. It's a straight line.

Imagine how fucking pissed Selene is now.

>>5104862

cue Kamina-voice.
Fuck that! We just do not allow ourselves to die through our strength of will alone that will pierce the heavens!

You all have a choice. I can continue this for another few hours

or

I can begin tomorrow.

>>5104889
I could get behind this.

[x] Sheer. Fucking. Willpower. I LIVE!

>>5104915

Nope.

>>5104899
Continuing would be awesome.

If you're up for it.

>>5104899
Continue longer please man, I'm dying here!

Willpowermind?

We've only been herre 10 hours. That's nothing.

Get some caffeine in you and keep on trucking, if you would.

>>5104938

Well, then. Do you need the sleep? If so: Sleep!

>>5104938
Idk, us "dying" here seems like a good stopping point. waking up or mind diving or w/e would we happen to do make sense for tomorrow.

Do I need sleep? No, I'm fine. I could probably go on for another 4 hours - maybe.

>>5104938
Same zone then.

It'd be awesome if you'd continue.

We must LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

>>5104938
Question, how much do the player choices alter the story? Like, would we have been able to escape from the hotel way back when? Or does it generally follow a plot and we just decide the journey rather than the destination?

Just curious really.

>>5104958
This honestly does seem like a nice cinematic stopping point, but I have no way of knowing if we would reach a better one in time. I think it's probably more your call than ours on stopping points.

>>5104983

Everything you do decides what happens. You would not be with Selene if you did not choose to ask her along.

You would not have had Kuhn if you did not free him.

etc. etc.

It has a general plotline/plot elements, but you really decide what happens. I just write it.

>>5104998
Yeah...idk, i'd be interested to go further just because I'm enjoying this so much

>>5104970
Well in that case it should be up to you.

Since the majority wants me to continue, I guess I will. I apologize to those who would rather me stop.

“It’s dark here.”

“This place… I don’t like it…”

“I want to leave.”

“It’s too dark.”

“Why am I here?”

“I can’t stand this darkness any longer.”

>Is this the end of your story?

“Who’s there?”

>Tell me, young one… do you wish to live?

“I said who’s there?”

>I’ve always been here.

You open your eyes to see yourself inside a white area with black ticking clocks all around you.

>Tell me.

You turn around to gaze upon a white humanoid figure. You notice immediately that they have only one eye and it is the symbol of yin and yang.

>Do you want to live?

“…Am I dead?”

>It depends on your definition of death. Do you FEEL alive?

You open and close your palms in response.

“What do you want?”

>Your story does not end here. It now only matters whether you wish to continue.

“… If I do decide to, what’s the catch?”

>Your memories.

Your eyes widen at the being’s words.

>Upon your fatal wounds, your memories were restored to you through my intervention.

You recall a white figure grabbing your head during the battle with your sister.

>You have a choice: I will restore your past memory, but at the cost of your new ones. You will remember nothing of those you’ve met or your exploits, and the same applies in reverse. To remember; going down either path, you are losing something in return. What do you choose?

[ ] Recover your lost memory
[ ] Keep your current memory
[ ] Return to slumber

I think there going to be a debate here

>>5105044

I fucking hate you and love you at the same time, OP.

>>5105044
Current memories. "I am who I am, not who I was."

>>5105044
FFFFFFFFFFFFF

My god OP you are brilliant. I'm going to find you, capture you, and have you be my GM forever.

Alright, I vote keep current memories of Selene and the others. It's better that we know everything that has transpired already than what could be. Not to mention that Kuhn could help us know about our past.

Keep our current memory.

>>5105044
Ask him if I could recover either on my own afterwards, or if it's permanant.

>>5105044
What do we know about our past life? That we were a revolutionary, and that our sister hated us.
We could have been a revolutionary for the worst possible reasons or the best ones, we don't know. The second points towards, albeit does not prove, us being a not particularly nice person.
Keep our new ones, we can find out about the past anyways.

>>5105090
not looking like it

[X] Keep your current memory

Surely there are other ways to recover our memory.

>>5105044
It is better to try to remember your past than to forget your present, so I'd say we keep our current memories.
Then again, our life could get really easy really fast if we remember how to become awesome like that again.
Still, I'm for current memories

inb4totalrecall

Also, keep the current memories.

Quest threads, no talent required

[X] Keep your current memory.

Clean slate for good interaction, makes it interesting and Selene is a cool character.

[x] Keep your current memory

I like our current ones more.

I say: Get the old ones! Selene seems to like us enough now to fill us in on the new ones.

If we knew how to be that ridiculously powerful it would no doubt help us, but it isn't going to help Adahn that much being as he would be either "dead" or "sleeping" and it would be Wen we wake up as.

Keep our current memories, but before we come back to life ask about ways to regain what we have lost.

“I am who I am, not who I was.”

The being smiles at you.

>Well said.

It grabs your head and you are consumed with a white light, proceeded by engulfing blackness.


Years Ago

A little girl is seen rocking in a chair next to a stack of books. An older person, whom she admires, is kneeling next to her with an open book in his hands.

>Hehehe… hehehe…

The little girl giggles with joy as her brother stands next to her.

>What a beautiful story. Maybe even my new favorite! Wen…?

She looks upward to see her brother smiling down at her.

>Next time you visit… will you read it to me again? I promise… to get better! Okay, Wen? Okay?

>>-smiles- Yeah…

The two laugh together for a few seconds before the ground quakes beneath them, silencing their happiness. In front of the both of you do you see a bubbling white figure with only a single eye.

>>That’s…!

>Wen! I’m scared!

The beings legs vanish into thin air and the torso flies toward the two. The older brother, protective of his younger sister, stands in the way. The unknown existence is absorbed by his person; during the process, the man cries out in pain while trying to resist.

Several white flashes enter his mind.

His body begins to change drastically, his eyes turn silver, and so does his hair, showing that the being had infiltrated his soul. With one final cry, the pain subsides.

The child is crying at seeing her older brother in such pain. He stands from his prone position which causes the tears to stop.

>… Wen?

The man turns, his eyes gleaming with insanity. The girl’s eyes open wide and she screams as the books that were stacked next to her explode in every direction.

>>5105237

FFFFFFFFUUUU

>>5105095

>>5105237
This is some One More Day Mephisto stuff...

>The man turns, his eyes gleaming with insanity. The girl’s eyes open wide and she screams as the books that were stacked next to her explode in every direction.

The first thing that popped into my head was:

[X] OMNOMNOM

1 month later

The rain lightly pattered against the window of the hospital. There was no one in the room save one man, and the occasional woman. Nurses and doctors did not enter this room as there was no helping this particular patient; he was comatose, but nothing anyone did seemed to alter his condition. Eventually, the worker’s of the hospital simply ceased showing up.

The man in the room sighed. “When are you going to wake up,” he thought. “If you ever will.” Your stomach began to growl, which alarmed him. “God damn it,” you began. “I’m so hungry.” The man looked around for a few moments just in case no one else was in the room as he could hardly believe his ears. You sit up, pulling the plug out of your nose in the process. “Geezus, how long was I out? Am I in a hospital?”

>>>You’re awake.
>-surprised- Oh, Kuhn. You’re here.
>>>Yeah, I am.
>Ugh, I’m so hungry. How long was I out? A few days?
>>>One to two months.
>Really?!
>>>I have no reason to lie…

He stands up and lights a cigarette despite hospital policies.

>>>She’ll be glad to hear it.
>’She’?
>>>Selene.
>!

[ ]”How is she?”

As much as I love doing things for comedic effect...

[X]”How is she?”

Followed by asking about the sister and current events and such.

[X] “Are we talking about the same Selene?”

If this winds up with a GOOD END I already have the tune in mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYpiZVNggNk

>>5105333
"How is she, where is she"

When she comes in, depending on her mood, make the "same selene" joke.

>>5105352

I concur minus the sister.

>>5105352
Second.

Hmmm.

"How is she?" followed by "What happened after the fight and to my sister?"

>[X]”How is she?”
>[X] “Where is she?”

Both.

>How is she?
>>>She’s fine NOW. At first, she was a wreck and couldn’t stop crying. She’s the one who got this room set up for you without cost – well, her father did. I guess she just couldn’t accept you died.
>… Are you SURE we’re talking about the same Selene?
>>What’s that supposed to mean?

You’re startled at the voice. You see Selene standing in the doorway and the awkwardness goes beyond being simply thick.

>Selene, I’m s-

Before you can even get out your explanation, her arms are around you in an embrace. She says nothing, but you can tell she’s crying – which frightens you. A lot.

>>>There are other people in the room, you know.

Selene coughs and removes herself from your person, her eyes shifting to the side.

>>>You’ve been out for a while so you don’t know what’s going on, so I’ll answer your questions to the best of my ability.

[ ] “What the hell just happened?”
[ ] “What happened to my sister?”

“What’s the current state of Septima?”
then
“What happened to my sister?”

No reason to push our luck and get us another month in a coma.

>>5105459
What happened to my sister, then ask what they've been doing the past few months.

Following that, try to find out how soon I can leave.

[X] “What happened to my sister?”

first option would be rude,

[ ] “What happened to my sister?”

>>5105459
[X] “What happened to my sister?”
[X] “What’s the current state of Septima?”

And tell Selene we're happy to see her too.

>>5105459
Septima first, then sister, then WTF.

Cal. Is that you? Yin and yang symbol for an eye just strikes as too familiar.

>>5105510
On second thought, skip the WTF. I'm sure we'll find out in time and the situation will probably not be helped by an expression of disbelief. Just take it in stride.

what the hell people ? say we are glad to see Selene first

>What happened to my sister?

Selene and Kuhn look at one another and then back at you.

>>>We don’t know.
>What do you me-
>>She vanished from the battlefield. Personally, we formed that she gained a power akin to instant regeneration. While we were treating you in front of the prison, she managed to sneak away.
>Instant regeneration, huh? –thinks- She may have stolen that from me… I mean, my wounds did heal unnaturally quickly.

You ponder quietly to yourself for a few moments before speaking up again.

>What’s the current state of Septima?
>>>That is where we have a problem.
>What do you mean?
>>Septima has declared war on the neighboring nation of Din. They were careful not to do it before due to the possibility of large damages, but they seem quite confident of their ability. At least, that’s what my father told me.

Your hand runs through your hair.

>Geez…
>>>Any other questions?

Sorry, you have the wrong person.

Say you're glad to see them and suggest they fill you in over dinner, because we are seriously hungry here.

Ask if they're as hungry as we are, and whether or not we can get something to eat. Anything else that we need to know we can discuss over a meal.

get Kuhn to get us something to eat beside JELL-O. I'm not sure is standing would be a good idea right now

>>5105539
How soon can we leave/do you guys have any ideas about what to do next?

>>5105539
When can we get out of bed?

Show Selene we care dammit.

Even a simple 'Glad to see ya again.' would do.

>Well, I’m glad to see you guys.

Kuhn smirks and Selene smiles at your words. You look at her for a moment.

>Let’s go out.

Selene is taken aback by your words and blushes slightly.

>>W-what?

>Let’s go out? To eat? It’s been like, what, a month?

Selene winces at your words and Kuhn is thrown into hysterics.

>>>Yeah. Let’s get some grub.

It takes you a little bit but you get used to walking again, though you have to occasionally borrow a shoulder. It’s weird having your normal clothes on, for some reason, though you don’t recall ever taking them off for a long period of time. As you leave the hotel, you have an out of place nostalgic moment as you open an umbrella, only to be taking out of it by Kuhn’s words.

>>>So, what do you want to eat?

[x] Let Selene decide
Have the moeblob decide.

>>5105592
she's a native. Ask Selene where's good.

>>5105639

Haha. Moeblob. About the only thing that's changed is that she actually likes us, as far as I can see.

>>5105670
Sup Slowpoke?

>>5105656
Wen has 20 charisma. Everyone is a moeblob around him.

>>5105505

>Where would you like to eat, Selene?
>>I don’t really care.

She yawns and her eyes reflect indifference at your question.

>>>I know a place.

A few minutes later, all 3 of you are standing outside under the umbrella of a hot dog stand.

>What do we do now?
>>>Dunno.
>We can’t take on an entire country.
>>Nope.

The three of you look out in the street with blank eyes while you all lean against the cart and devour your food quickly. The vendor passes you another one.

>Any ideas?
>>>None.
>>Where would we even start?
>Dunno.
>>>Even with the famous revolutionary on our side, we’re still in deep shit.
>About that, Kuhn…
>>>I already know you can’t remember anything.
>>I told him.
>Well, that saves an awkward conversation.
>>>Still…

You all sigh at the same time.

>(>)(>): I have no idea what we’re going to do.

[ ] Suggestions

>>5105729
It would be best to start with the whole "What do you know about me?" line of questioning.

Maybe that will give us some leads. Who did we roll with back in the day?

Cue happenstance interruption from potential party member 4 with useful information as to our path forward?

Or uh... we could sleep on it. Wait for the action to come to us.

>>5105729

That's a good question... what DO we do?

>>5105729

While it may not advance the story its sounds some seriously hardcore training (maybe sidequests?) are in order.

>>5105759

What?! Sleep is for pussys, not to mention Heresy!
We are fucking rebels! There have to be some guerrillas left from our faction. Search them!

>>5105758
I like this.

>>5105729
Learn more about our past.

On another note, is that what Selene is wearing now? I never noticed how Bad Girl and that chick looked the same...

>So Kuhn.
>>>What?
>What do you know about my past?
>>>Well… the way you were described, you were a demon in human’s clothing. A real thorn in the side of Septima. You would destroy bases, free prisoners, kick ass, and generally fuck shit up.
>I see… was there anyone I traveled with?
>>>I don’t know. If there was, I didn’t hear about it, but – and I’m just assuming – you had to be in contact with someone, or some people. It’s impossible to leave a trail of destruction like you did without that kind of thing.
>… Was there anything I fought for?
>>>No one knows. I really can’t say.

[ ] Our next move?

>>5105808
Selene's sheltered so she mustn't really have allies...does Kuhn know anyone?

>>5105808

Go to Nova. Septima is probably looking for us if Raven reported back, you know, to seal the deal.

Who is Selene's father? We should ask.

>>5105845

We met him before. He's the owner of the city we're in so he probably has some political swag/information.

>>5105845
He's the governor or mayor of the city.

Training montage, or go to Nova. Either way, get out of here.

>>5105859
Yeah, let's go meet Mr. Peace. He might have some leads for us.

>>5105845
Already know & have met him. He's where we got the idea for the awesome 'stache.

Well, if we can't fight the state alone then we need allies. Din just happens to be fighting them already. If we can't find any contacts to our old clique then we should head for where the fighting is, we need to get stronger before pushing into Septima.

>>5105729
Grab some hot dogs and maybe a growler of good beer, sit down someplace quiet, then have lunch while discussing what Selene and Kuhn know about who I was.

Afterwards, we grow that epic mustache for real and head out to see what's become of the revolution we once led.

>Is your father busy?
>>I don’t believe so.
>Well, it’s about time we made a little visit.

For some reason, you decide to take out your fake mustache and place it on your upper lip. You can’t see such a charming gentleman without a mustache of your own, can you? You walk the streets and occasionally twist the ends while eyeing those who pass by suspiciously, which creeps them out.

It takes you 10 minutes to get from the stand to the Governor’s office, who welcomes you with open arms. You two gentleman chat about your facial hair for roughly 5 minutes before Kuhn joins in. 5 more minutes pass until Selene interrupts the conversation.

“So what did you all come here for?”

[ ] Other

>>5105911
Shit, I'm all slowpokey tonight.

Make up a video with just us on it. The video's contents are simply us smiling and saying "I'm back". Then we release it to as many different media outlets as possible.

From the resulting reactions, we should be able to get a better picture of who we were and who our allies/enemies used to be.

>>5105932

Fucking this.

>>5105927
"I thought we'd prance about the streets in mustaches. Make Selene wear one too."

>>5105927
Ask him about the current resource and war situation of Septima and Din, and if he knows of anyone looking for the services of a highly skilled revolutionary.

>>5105932
Wow, um, okay. This sounds better than my plan.

>>5105927

Ask about the situation between Din & Septima as well as people we were know to associate with/may have associated with in our past.

It seems things are a little slow-going since that potential death, which was cool. Let's think of our situation:

We can't reclaim our past memory.
We are recently off the sick bed.
We have a country to fight.

What should we do? Well:

Get to Nova somehow
Fight Septima
Find Revolutionary Allies, or allies in general
???
Profit!

>>5105932
That would take a few weeks.

Ask Peace about this "Wen" person that is thought to be a famous revolutionary. Also question him about Septima.

>>5106013

Who says we have to fight Septima, really? We could just leave in the opposite direction and life a normal live or something.

>>5105932
It's amusing.

DO EEEET!

>>5106032
Our sister is still out to kill us and an entire government wants to waste us.

An expansionist government.

>What’s the status between Din and Septima?

The Governor’s face grows impassive.

“Septima has turned the tables over the nation of Din. They used to be pretty even in power, but, somehow, the former has found a way to effectively overpower the latter. I’m not an active participate in this recent war, so I don’t know much. However… I have heard that there has been some revolutionary activity on the border which is preventing both forces from invading. I don’t know how long they can hold out, though.

[ ] What now?

>>5106032
at this point, leaving sounds good. Why do we care beyond "it's the mayor's town"?

>>5106056
Tell him that you would like him to do you the favor of releasing the video you will bring him to as many news stations as possible just before you depart for he border. Get a cellphone so he can call and tell you the results.

>>5106049

So? Invasions are pretty slow when aimed against the whole world. We would die of old age before Septima conquers all.

>>5106056

Whoop, whoop! We found our rebel-rabble!

>>5106020
If we were that famous, and everyone has been assuming we're dead, then our little video is going to on every news outlet in existence by tomorrow morning.

>>5106049
They presumably already know we're back. And this video tells them nothing else. But it does turn our resurrection from a state secret into public knowledge, giving them less room for private and careful planning. And again, gives us a way to find out who was connected with us besides just stumbling around until we find them.

>>5106032

that boring

>>5106081

Alright.

More suggestions so I don't have to write seperate posts. I'm gettin' tired, I'll probably do this for another 30 minutes to an hour.

>>5106056

>people we were know to associate with/may have associated with in our past.

>>5106056
Revolution? Sounds like our tea of cups

The solution to everything is simple: find Charles vi Britannia, beat his face in.

>>5106114
>Do ho ho ho

>Do you know anyone I would have associated with in my past?

“I really don't know. Revolutionaries are very secretive. If they weren’t, they probably would have been wiped out already.”

[ ] What now?

>>5106096
See if you can find someone to upgrade your katana. *cough*

Also ask Selene and Kuhn to help us out by fighting with in private. We need to regain our former strength but not let people know we are comparatively weak little puppies at this point.

Also check for places around town that we can earn some fast money and preferably get some more fighting in. I doubt we have much in the way of cash reserves currently and the revolution hasn't made everything free quite yet.

I do believe it's time to head to the Din/Septima border.

It's probably quite far away so we'd better get to walking.

>>5106163
After this head to the border.

>>5106177

this. We can do whatever we need to do on the way, it's better not to waste a lot of time staying the city.

>>5106163
Thirding this.

>>5106177
This. Discuss combat effectiveness and coordination of our team work on the way to the border.

>>5106177

The border is quite a ways ago so it'll take a lot of time, and quite a bit of story until we get there.

>>5106263
alright, then we assess our combat effectiveness and upgrade our weapons and such. train a little, cautiously flirt, w/e

>>5106163
This, then >>5106177, but do the video release thing first.

You leave the Governor’s office after bidding him farewell. The three of you walk down the hall with goal in mind: the Septima/Din border. It’s where all the answers should lie.

The moment you walk out into the street, Selene calls to you.

>>Catch.

She tosses a katana toward you. This one is a tad different than your previous one; it has a black hilt with white x’s and a guard that’s shaped like an x as well. It has a black sheath. You notice that it has a white handkerchief tied to the end of the hilt.

>What’s this?

Selene shrugs as she walks down the steps, not bothering to answer your question. You take the blade out of its sheath and inspect its design; the blade is incredibly sharp and it has a black and white hue similar to the guard, hilt, and sheath.

>When did you get this made?
>>I didn’t. I found it in your room yesterday.

For a moment, the being of white flashes in your mind.

>So, shall we leave?
>>>I guess now’s as good a time as any.

The three of you begin to walk toward the city exit just as the rain begins to let up.

The end

For today. I'll likely be back around 10 AM EST tomorrow. I'll answer any questions as this thread 404's.

>>5106424
Do we remember the flashes we saw when coming back to conciousness or is that OOC?

nice katana. So which side is Selene's father? Din or the other one?

>>5106424
How long do we have before the video gets into circulation? Once it does any stealth we might have is gone, so it would be best to get as far as we can before that happens.

>>5106435

You remember everything that's happened since you woke up at Karen's house including your choice to keep your current memories.

>>5106437

He's neutral, though on Septima land.

>>5106452

If/when the video is done, it should roughly take a couple weeks. You'll be pissing a lot of people off, though, including revolutionaries who're all about secrecy.

>>5106490
Huh, that's strange. I would have thought it wouldn't matter that much being as we are already famous enough to be known by random people. Not like we would be distributing any big secrets or anything, just saying "Hey, sup doodz?"

Oh well, we can always call and say cancel it tomorrow if we find out it's a bad idea.

>>5106536

You're not known by random people, as far as I can tell/know.

I'm not so sure taht the idea of a video is good anymore

Let's go visit Karen. It's been two months and she asked us to come by some time.

>>5106641

If she's still alive.

Adahn has canceled video.
Reason: reconsideration.
