BOORRRRRRING

Head to Sermin, see about stealing a car.

>>5110520

[X] through Sermin. We can gather more and better information of what's happening if it's closer. Without using the meta you just provided us, I would think they would have tried to hunt us down by now if they wanted to get us. It IS a whole month later

[ ] Through Sermin

I believe we fucked up enough things in Ceruda.

Sermin.

1. We blew up a fucking hotel (sort of) and are known as criminals.
2. If they haven't come after us in a month they obviously have no clue what we are up to so it's no biggie.
3. We haven't seen the place before, we need all the new experiences we can get to try and jog something loose.

Eh, I'm indifferent about locations. Sermin

After a brief deliberation, you decide to head through Sermin. You feel that if the Government itself wanted you dead already, you would be dead. After all, you were comatose for roughly a month.

It doesn’t take more than an hour or two to reach the City of Sermin, the time of which is spent in silence. However, when you begin to approach city lines, you notice that the entrance is being protected by military personnel. You haven’t a clue why, but you do know you can’t simply waltz in.

The three of you hide near a small bush, close enough to the entrance to clearly see what’s going on, but far enough to avoid detected.

>>Nothing can ever be easy, can it?
>If it were, would it be half as fun?
>>>I suppose not.

The three of you deliberate in whispers to decide your next move.

>>5110619
What is this, a walled city? Just circle around and go in through a different route.

>>5110619
Look for another way in. If no way presents itself, waltz in. It's unlikely the soldiers are there for you anyway.

>>5110619

MUSTACHE POWER ACTIVATE

FORM OF: DISGUISE

>>5110635

It is indeed walled. You'll see why soon enough.

Given that Septima just declared war, they could very well just be part of a garrison with no interest in you.

Waltz in nonchalantly. Shoot the breeze with them for a few minutes if they seem pretty chill.

>>5110646
See if there are any monitoring devices preventing you from just climbing over.

>>5110619
Go around.
If that doesn't work then who is going to expect the master revolutionary to try to sneak in wearing a mustache.
They'll just think we're a look alike with really unfortunate facial hair.

>You haven’t a clue why, but you do know you can’t simply waltz in.

Memory alert here guys, waltzing in would be a bad idea.

>>5110641

This

Just waltz in. They shouldn't be looking for you, and if they have issue, they probably won't attack you. You can go around then.

However, before this transpires, we must, MUST be wearing the MUSTACHE!

>>5110668
*sigh*

fine, then once again search for another way in.

>I have a brilliant idea.

Your two comrades look up with you while you smile confidently. You reach in your pocket and whip something dark, first swinging it to your side to allow it to gleam in the afternoon sun and then sticking it on your face.

>MUSTACHE POWER, ACTIVATE! FORM OF DISGUISE!

They just look at you with awe and give no response to your actions, eventually just ignoring you and speaking among the two of them. You scoff at them and take off toward the city on your own, neither of them realizing until you’re a few yards from the soldiers. They begin to panic, but calm down to see you shooting the breeze with their potential enemy; your finger curled the hair around the ends of the fake mustache as you nodded to what the men said, proceeding to bid them good day before you went inside the city.

Selene and Kuhn glanced at one another before proceeding to run after you – however, they wasted no time with those who guarded the city, which said people found rude. Once inside, you smirked at them as you tore off your mustache and put it in your pocket.

When you first take notice to the city, you can see it is military controlled. You see soldiers walk around with one another, weaponless, while the civilians simply cower in their homes. You, Selene, and Kuhn stare at one another for a few moments before walking further inside the city.

>>5110718
Only real solution is to investigate the city.

Find a place to stay the night followed by investigating the city. Those in the local inn should be able to provide a point of reference for where to start investigating...

You decide to quickly investigate the city – the amount of fortification and soldiers here is beyond unnatural, but you’re unsure where to start.

Heroes guide 101: Pubs/bars are always the best places for information. Start there, proceed to town square

Pub/Bar. Best place to find information and allies.

a local Pub. Always a juicy half-truth to be gleaned from the patrons, as well as a tab of solid intel from the local barkeep.

I'm going to assume in this universe it is considered rude to randomly barge into homes and check their clocks for elixers?

>>5110888

Probably.

The three of you decide to start at the bar; they’re usually the best source of information. It takes a little bit of searching but you find it soon.

Theme Music: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=9oNwfq

The moment you near the bar, you see someone burst through the door, unwillingly, of course. He lay there for a few moments – a soldier – before he stood to face his aggressor. “What, do you want to be arrested again, Saiga? Because I can give you another month in jail since you just seem to love rushing back day after day!” The man stepped out of the broken doorway and into the open. “It’s rude to chase after women who have no interest in you. Jail me if you want, I’ll just do it again when I get out.” The soldier gritted his teeth before lunging forward with his fist drawn. The man known as Saiga simply moved out of the way of his punches, weaving in and out of each blow.

“You bastard,” the embarrassed soldier started. “Do you directly oppose the Septima Government?” His expression didn’t change as he stared the soldier right in the eye. “The Government? I have no interest in your affairs, but I can’t ignore a screaming lady or general injustice.” The soldier expression shifted from anger to amusement. “Well, you’ll have plenty of time to think about it later when you’re jailed. Maybe they’ll keep you in for more than a month this time.”

The soldier simply walks away instead of trying to fight any longer. Saiga looks at you as if he’s just noticing your existence. “I haven’t seen you around before.”

[X] “What’s going on?”

Is Saiga a tenor? It's all we're missing for our barbershop quartet.

>>5111079

If anyone joins, it's really up to us. I mean, we've had the option to not bring Kuhn/Selene along - the latter we actually force.

>>5111017
>jailtime a month ago

I have a feeling we could have met him a month ago, etc. etc.

>>5111093
Oh you know she wants us...

Pump him for information but ditch before the guards show up to arrest him.

“Yeah, we just arrived.”

Saiga scans each of your beings as if analyzing your strengths. Then again, you can’t tell with his impassive eyes if he’s ogling or doing something else. “What exactly is going on here?” You say to him, referencing the seemingly overabundance of soldiers and no civilians. “Nothing,” he responds. “This is how it’s always been for years.” You wonder why the walls of the City are so high despite not being near Nova. “I apologize, but I have to be going now.”

Saiga walks away after answering your questions, leaving you to ponder your next move.

[ ] What now?

I don't know why, but I sense a really awesome arc about to happen. I don't know, maybe it's because of our "death" last night.

>>5111119
Talk to the bartender.

>>5111119
Talk to the bartender while your companions hit up the nearby patrons for information.

Ask Kuhn to gather information. Mack on Selene while he's out of the way.

You enter the bar and the first thing you notice is that, just like outside, there’s a mass of soldiers. However, it seems that some of them are sitting and talking up women, most in a drunken stupor. You approach the bartender while making sure to keep one eye on what’s happening in the room.

“What can I do for you?”

[ ] Other

>>5111228
We just swung in off the road. Why are there all these soldiers?

What are our financial resources like here?

"I and my companions wish for you to fetch us some frosty beers and fancy outfits. Also, a glass of your finest information, please."

>>5111256
In before the bartender makes a wildly popular drink called "finest information."

>>5111234
can i rephrase?
"We just swung off the road, why is this town so militarized?"

this way, we don't get a "it was always like this" answer.

“What’s the deal with all the soldiers?” You say. However, you soon notice that the room falls silent at your words. “… Are you new here,” the bartender asks nervously. “Yes, just passing through.” The noise of the building soon returns in full force. “There’s no deal, they just use this city… as a resting facility. Yes, that’s it.” You raise your eyebrow at his words, finding them suspicious, but decide not to press the issue. “3 beers, please.”

The bartender nervously fulfills your request and the three of you sit down to discuss your plans with alcohol in hand.

Why the fuck would a bartender have fancy outfits?

Order some drinks, subtly inquire about sidequests.

lean in close and ask the bartender quietly: "What's all this about? Even if the military is a mainstay here, I've never heard of all this hoopla over an army town."

>>5111303
Make a note that the soldiers are a touchy subject and you are unlikely to gather any information about them in a public place.

Put on mustache and proceed to throw a wild dance party.

>>5111303
Sounds like something is going on in the town, and I think it will be interesting to fuck it up before we proceed. Opinions?

>>5111345
did you just type brosef? DID YOU FUCKING SERIOUSLY JUST TYPE BROSEF? FOR FUCKS SAKE!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ASK THE SOLDIERS WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IN TOWN ASKING QUESTIONS ALL OF A SUDDEN.

>>>It seems talk about the state of the town is enough to send fear into the civilians.
>Yeah. They’re all inside their homes.
>>Looks like we won’t be getting information in a public place.

The three of you nod at the same time. Your group meeting is interrupted by a drunken soldier whose eye had captured Selene; he sat down next to her, leaning on uncomfortable close while wrapping his hand around her should. “Come on, woman… let’s go someplace a bit quieter.” You can see his other hand go under the table, no doubt to her legs.

[ ] Stop him
[ ] Do nothing
[ ] Other

>>5111410
Do something. I don't like him touching her should.

>>5111410
Tell Selene "I'd like to stop him, but I think you deserve to have some fun. Feel free to ruin his shit."

>>5111410

Stop him.

>>5111410

[ ] Do nothing

Selene can handle herself.

>>5111410

I'm conflicted. If we stop him, it'll no doubt turn into an argument, which will cause trouble for us.

If we don't, Selene is going to beat the hell out of him, which will also cause trouble.

Stop him. For HIS sake, not hers.

>>5111478
It's a bar full of soldiers, and this guy came over by himself. If she beats holy hell out of him for bad touching, his buddies are just going to laugh because he got flattened by a girl.

>of whom he occasionally confided in

:|

Otherwise, good going.

That soldier is touching our woman.

BREAK HIM.

>>5111410
Stop both him AND Selene.

>I suggest you stop.
>>>I suggest you stop.

You and Kuhn glance at one another and you wonder to yourself that if you didn’t say anything, would he have? The soldier cocks his head and snorts. “And just who the hell are you?” His arm “slyly” slides down her shoulder to her breast. The moment it touched it, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it, the man coiling in pain. The other soldiers in the restaurant stood up, making you do so as well in defense. As her grip worsened, her began to cry louder.

Or they'll attack in defense of their comrades pain since you, apparently, think they can do whatever they want. It can go either way.

>>5111517
>[x] Other

Just wait for a moment, see what Selene's planning on doing before jumping to any conclusions.

>>5111517
Step back and let Selene continue her fine work on him.

>>5111488
this is a good point. you should only make a cursory attempt at stopping him, like giving him a fair warning. if he still insists, you can't say he didn't know what he was getting into...

>>5111517
Selene has changed (somewhat), she won't kill him. Let her make her statement. If it becomes trouble, leave.

>>5111517

Tell Selene to stop and sit back down. Then tell her that what she should actually have done is grabbed his scrotum and squeezed while twisting; it would get the point across even faster. Demonstrate the proper technique for said groin attack on PFC Dipshit here as we talk with her. And talk in a calm voice.

Also, tell the soldiers that if they sit back down, you'll buy them a round. If they don't, you'll introduce them to the same world of pain PFC Dipshit is in at the moment.

Offer to buy a round for the soldiers, but don't threaten them. That's asking for trouble.

>>5111517
"It appears that we are no longer welcome here. I suppose this bar is for aling and wenching only. Selene, could you release the poor man? I think you might make him cry. Good day chaps."

You and Kuhn decide to wait and see what Selene does. After she notices the soldiers rising from their seats, she lets go of her victim’s hand and leaves. The two of you follow her but not before leaving the money for the beer on the table. She walks ahead of the two of you; you think about approaching her, but in the back of your mind, you feel anything you might say about the incident would sound condescending.

[ ] Look for a place to stay
[ ] Other

>>5111569

Mention to them that if they want to admire Selene's beauty, they can do it from over there. Unwanted touching is highly discouraged. Give PFC Dipshit's nads a quarter-turn for emphasis when you say this.

>>5111578
Talk to her about it before we turn in for the night, but first find a place to stay. Preferably one with minimal military stay ins

Look for a place to stay, and ask Selene if the two of you can talk later.

>>5111578
Ask what she thinks our best course of action is: Continuing attempting to dig up info or finding a place?

>>5111578
Find a place to stay, then continue to explore the town until just before nightfall. At that point, head back to our chosen inn and rest.

Also, check to make sure that we weren't just followed out of the bar.

>>5111578
"Thank you for not killing him. Though, it would have been completely justified. So, shall we find a place to stay?"

>>5111578
>[ ] Other

Ask her is she's okay, and sound concerned for her.

It may warm her up a bit.

Then >[ ] Look for a place to stay

And make sure we're not being followed

>What should we do now?
>>>Probably look for a place to stay. It’d be best to make the arrangements now. I doubt we we’re going to get any more information – and we probably shouldn’t search if we aren’t going to get involved.

The three of you turn this town upside down, pretty much just stopping what you’re doing and sitting right there in front of it when you had given up your search.

>Well, that was lucky.

You go inside and talk to the kind innkeeper. He smiles at you before running down his guest list.

>3 rooms.

You notice his face grows discouraged at your request. “There’re only two available, sir.” You nod that you’ll take them since you couldn’t find another place to stay. The three of you form a miniature huddle as you decide who’s sleeping where.

>>>So who’s bunkin’ with who?

Other.

We take two rooms, put down "Adahn and Selene" as being in one, then we go bear and move the bed from that room into the one that "Kuhn" is marked down for.

All three of us stay in the same room, so that in case something goes wrong the group isn't separated from each other.

Alternatively, Selene in one bed, Kuhn in the other, us as the "bear-skin rug" on the floor to give a nasty surprise to anyone trying to fuck with us.

>>5111651
[X] Let Selene decide

I'd like her bunking with someone on the off chance that the drunken soldiers try and even the score while she's sleeping. I don't care who it is, but if she's become a target I want someone close by to back her up if shit hits the fan.

>>5111651
Let Selene decide, she's the one who just got felt on. Regardless of what she decides, talk to her before you all turn in.

Let Selene decide.

If she decides Adahn and Kuhn are sharing a room, head out and get some whores for the both of you.

[X] Let Selene decide.

She'll probably end up taking a room by herself, but at least there wouldn't be any issue with her trying to bat anyone away, literally.

alternatively, I like the "we all bunk in the same room" deal.

>>5111675

This. Minus the bear skin. I'm pretty sure everyone would be on board for sleeping in the same room.

>>5111710
I think us all sleeping together is a good idea too, but i still think letting her choose is the best idea, because then it wouldn't be us implying anything through our choice.

>Ask her is she's okay, and sound concerned for her.

>It may warm her up a bit.
>Then >[ ] Look for a place to stay
>And make sure we're not being followed

ALL OF THESE

>Hm… -side glance- What do you think, Selene?
>>Given our current situation, we should all probably sleep in one room. If something happens, we’re together.

You and Kuhn nod in agreement. You turn around and write down that Selene has a room of her own while you and Kuhn, the room you’re actually sleeping in, are sharing. You place the pen down on the pad and the innkeeper gives you the keys with a smile.

Get some grub, get washed up, then spend some time just swapping stories and bonding before we turn in for the night.

And thank Selene again for everything she's done for us, especially since we dragged her into all of this. But do it in some way that's sincere without sounding condescending.

Talk to Selene, try to obtain a newspaper and snacks.

For all of you saying to talk to Selene... I don't think she's the talking type. I mean, she seems more "meh" and, if she wanted to speak, she would do so.

But that's just my opinion.

[ ] Go to rooms, put beds together, order room service of some sort

Ask Kuhn if he'd mind letting you and Selene talk privately.

We need to let her know we appreciate her care since the incident at the prison. Also, though it would suck to not have her around, shit is getting serious. It may be best to give her the option to leave the group.

I mean seriously, we're an amnesiac wanted by the Septima government for reasons we barely understand, with no clear goals. What would Mayor Mustache think if we got his daughter killed?

>>5111804
This. Deepening trust is always good. Make sure jokes are told & relaxation is had.

>>5111831
There's a lot of unspokenness between us at Selene at this point. I think it would alleviate some of the tension or some such if we had some words. If she doesn't want to talk, she'll make that abundantly clear.

We should talk with Kuhn a bit while we're at it. We've been kind of ignoring him. Not such a hot idea with a guy we're trusting to get our back when shit hits the fan.

The three of you head to your rooms, wasting very little time to take the bed in Selene’s room and putting it where you would all be sleeping. Afterward, Kuhn gave a small yawn and walked toward the door, his stomach growling when he opened it.

>>>I’m going to go get us some food.

He closed the door, leaving you two alone.

>Selene, I wanted to thank you for what yo-
>>Stop.

Her eyes scanned the room as if she were making a battle plan.

>>I didn’t do it for you.
>I see…

You become slightly discouraged at your words.

>Then I went to thank you for taking care of me since the prisoner incident.
>>Sure. Whatever.

She walked over to the window, staring downward at the soldiers who explored the town.

>>Don’t thank me anymore. It’s annoying.

[ ] “Fine.”

Oh, it matters. Anyone who was here during the early parts knows it matters.

[ ] Go first

share the shower with selene

>>5112357
Castration for 1? Coming right up!

go second

>>5112032
Third part as canon.
To Kuhn,
"Everything you think I'd be interested in, where you're from, why you decided to go against the government. You know..."

>>5112292
Let the other two choose, we don't care really as long as we get it at some point.

>>5112406

You decide to enter the shower first. Once inside, you turn the knob to the hottest setting. As the hot water berates your body, you drop your head in silence. You attempt to recall a memory from last time but it seems that every time you attempt to do so, you hit a wall. Maybe he was telling the truth, you think.

>I made a choice. I am who I am, not who I was.

You stop trying and proceed to clean yourself up.

The moment you exit, Kuhn heads toward the bathroom. You sigh and yawn as you sit down on the bed in your underwear, reflecting on nothing in particular for a minute or two before moving the blanket and crawling under it.

You instantly fall asleep.

You awake in the middle of the night after hearing a slight stirring. You sit up, your eyes shifting around the room. You can see Kuhn, who is happily snoring away, but Selene isn’t anywhere in sight. As your eyes adjust to the darkness, you notice her bat is lying next to your bed. You shiver at the sudden recollection of previous events.

Only when you get up completely do you see Selene outside on the balcony, the sliding window door closed behind her.

[ ] Go to the balcony
[ ] Go back to sleep

>>5112330

The last time we went first, we got naked cuddling, yes, but we also got several broken ribs and probably a punctured lung. If the building hadn't been blown apart, we would have been killed.

Balcony!

>You shiver at the sudden recollection of previous events.

In before waking up with Kuhn in your arms.

But fuck yes romantic midnight baloney scene GO.

>>5112527

Er, romantic midnight BALCONY scene.

Unless hilarious comedy option is available.

>>5112492
[x] Go to the balcony

and grab a robe if there is one, robes are badass.

>>5112492
[X] Go to the balcony

[X] Go to the balcony

is there anything better to do?

>>5112543

That's pretty true.

>>5112539

"Bologna. I truly love you."

>>5112567

Why did i lol

You saunter away from your bed and toward the balcony; grabbing and putting on an inn rob at the same time. Upon reaching the door, you attempt to open it without noise, but fail. It makes a small, but noticeable squeak. You know Kuhn wouldn’t wake up from that – or so you think. His left eye pops open momentarily to see you exit and Selene turn around.

Without a word, she turns back around and rests her arms on the edges of the balcony.

[ ] Other

No help from me. It’s all you guys.

>>5112609
Because he said bologna, and bologna is a funny word of course.

>>5112612
what's the weather like?

anyway, first words:
"Can't Sleep?"

>>5112612
[x] Other

Park next to her, giving her plenty of space.

"You too, eh?"

>>5112631

That's awfully true.

>>5112612

"Didn't think you were the type to gaze at the horizon, what are you thinking?"

Then you go and get besides her.

>>5112647

So generally starting like any other conversation in this situation.

>>5112612
No help. Grand.

"Can't sleep?/What's on your mind?/Nice night."

>>5112647
This albeit what's ALWAYS said.

>>5112664
have any better/more hilarious but still productive ideas?

>>5112647
>>5112663
>>5112664
>>5112666

I suggest we go for the ol' psychiatrist trick, start with something small - "can't sleep?", park ourselves nearby and then just stay quiet and wait for her to start talking.

>Can't sleep?
>>Nope...

You stand beside her. A wind passes against you two, blowing your hair wildly for a few seconds.

>Didn't think you were the type to gaze at the horizon, what are you thinking?
>>Not much. Just the future.

>>5112700

Bologna sandwich.

Rather than bug her with personal questions, why not let her ask about us, if she's interested. Likes, dislikes, hopes and dreams. That sort of thing.

>>5112729
A DOUBLE DECKER bologna sandwich with ALL THE FIXINS!

>>5112713

"Me too... Well, It's all I think about, since I can't think of the past."

If she doesn't say shit that means I need to read more on this thing and she's got socializin' problems.

[X] Adahn whips out his bologna

>>5112752

I don't think that would work. Especially considering we know nothing about ourselves.

>>5112713
'...Things sure look beautiful tonight, no clouds or anything...'
Lean back and look up at the moon.

>>5112762

As someone's who's been here since the beginning, it's unlikely she'll say anything.

>>5112762
this

>>5112786

So she already knows you can't regain your memories?

>...Things sure look beautiful tonight, no clouds or anything...
>>Yeah... it's nice.

>So what are you thinking about?
>> ... Do you really think we can directly oppose an expansionist government by ourselves?

She looks at you, wanting an answer. You can tell she's slightly nervous, but who wouldn't be?

[ ] Tell the truth
[ ] Lie

>>5112765

The dude still has a personality. Even if he's only been living this life for a few months, it's enough to have at least a basic idea of himself. Besides, he might remember something. Not necessarily something relevant but you take what you can get.

>>5112825
what will "tell the truth" be and what will "lie" be? I could be more arrogant that I think the truth is we can.

>>5112825

"Not a chance in hell. But I can't just sit back and let innocent people suffer."

>>5112762
She doesn't want to hear us whine about ourselves right now, she came out here to think.
"Penny for them..." When she asks what "Your thoughts."

>>5112825

Tell the truth.

If we end up lying I know I'd feel like I'm playing Final Fantasy and that dialogue would be cheesier than Manowar's discography.

>>5112847

My apologies. Just add your own truths and lies along with what you want to say.

>>5112850
This.

>>5112825
"Probably not, but it should be fun to say the least."

>>5112855

Zing. Go truth.

>>5112825
"Probably not." Slight smile " I'm not going to turn my back on innocent people though. Better to die standing than live on our knees and all that...You can get away from this any time you like you know..."

You chuckle silently, which catches her interest.

>Honestly? There isn't a chance in hell us 3 can survive against Septima in our current condition.

She doesn't say a word. You stare up at the moon for a few moments.

>But, I find their desire for war distasteful. So do I think we'll stand a chance? No, but it'll be fun, at least.

You look down at her and she smiles, pleased with your response.

[ ] Other

>>5112825
"Do you think I intend to? At this point it's larger than us, and I'm trying to just find out who I am. If I can make a difference in the process, then so be it" or something like that...

Sing a cheesy love song.

I guess that I'm retarded / But what's a guy to do
I like to marry things I find / I'm glad that I found you!

>>5112910
Look up at the moon again, then look at her and smile.
"Yeah, things are beautiful tonight."
Shit eater grin "Since we're up anyway...fancy going and beating on some men in uniform who never learned to keep their hands to themselves?"

>>5112910
"Well, we should get inside before we catch cold. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow..."

>>5112930
you're a real super-size homo jackass

>>5112910
"So, what did you wack people with before your bat?"

>>5112953
>>5112930

Third party here, sing it, hilarity ensues.

No kiss, guys? REALLY?

"No, we can't. But who said we'd be alone? Between Kuhn's experience, your intelligence, and my looks, I think we shouldn't find it too hard to find whoever I worked with before and get the band back together. And bring in some fresh faces too."

If she asks what we meant about "our looks", pull out the mustache, put it on, and say "obviously somebody with facial hair this awesome is a man that people can get behind".

And make it clear to her that no matter what we may find out about ourselves and who we may have been with, we'll want to stay by her side for as long as she wants us to stay.

>>5112984

That's exactly what I meant by cheesier than Manowar's lyrics.

Add >>5112938 to the end of >>5112984

>>5112984
>>5112938
These two mixed.

>>5112984
>Between Kuhn's experience, your intelligence, and my looks, I think we shouldn't find it too hard to find whoever I worked with before and get the band back together. And bring in some fresh faces too."

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

>>5112973

Not feeling like getting slapped in the face.

>>5113015
Thirded

Do we really need to keep on with the mustache nonsense?

>>5113027
yes, because it makes us more than some lame emo hero man.

>>5113027
YES.

>>5112984
>>5113016

This. So hard.

You look up at the brilliantly shining night sky, your attention only brought back to earth when you hear Selene speak, who was now at the door.

Selene: Don’t betray my trust.

Theme: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=h7byh9

The moment her hand touched the door, the building began to rock violently.

You: The hell is going on?!
Kuhn: Whatever it is, it’s trouble!

Selene sprints inside the hotel room to her clothes that lay on a pile next to your bed, you and Kuhn doing the same and grabbing your weapons before you yank open the door violently. But, as you attempt to leave, a familiar face arises.

Saiga: I need your help.

You stand in surprise at the door, and at the request. You don’t have much time.

[ ] Help him unconditionally
[ ] Ask him what’s going on
[ ] Leave the city as soon as possible
[ ] Other

>>5113043

If he were a man, he wouldn't need a fake mustache.

>>5113025
Fourthing.

>>5113027
Yes, yes we do.
It's Adahn trying to cheer her up, mixed with his enjoyment of a good joke. It relives tensiona nd has been useful.

>>5113057

Ask what's going on.

he'd probably just answer i'll tell you later lol

>>5113057
"What's going on and how did you know where to find us?"

>>5113057
Ask first or just straight help. Which ever.

"What in the name of all that is decent going on here?!?"

>>5113057
[X] Ask him what’s going on

And then agree to help him.

[X] Ask whats going on.
"What the fuck did you do this time?"

>>5113067
well, it's been a while, i'm sure we're in the process of growing one proper.

that IS correct, right OP?

I apologize for interupting your "moment" but it exceeded the amount of "time"/questions that I decided I was going to allow.

You: What’s going on?
Saiga: They’re closing the entire city – permanently. The sun will no longer shine.
Kuhn: What, why would they do that?
Saiga: This city is controlled by the Septima military – the home of the King of Night. In order to gain power, he’s sacrificed living in the sun for lurking in the night. The people of this city are slaves to his will; he takes the women and beats the men. A project he has been working on has been completed, which will completely block out the sun in this city, bringing with it eternal darkness.
You: ...Damn it.

>>5113107

Yes.

Adahn cancels romance

Interrupted by artillery barrage

>>5113153
Help.

Duh.

Ask why he thinks we'd be able to, though. And just as importantly, HOW he thinks we'd be able to.

>>5113153

SORRY BUD YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

BUH BYE

I mean, seriously, unless there's some sort of deus ex machina out there to avoid our most certain lack of escape.

But I know everyone will say "STAY!" so I'm not going to try anymore.

"What can we do about it?"

"Well what can we do about it?"

Then help him anyway.

>>5113174

If you exit now, you can leave. I don't make the story, I just write it - even if the outcome is not one I want myself.

oh great, the king is a vampire.

I'd rather we leave, but I'm willing to hear what we have to do in order to take this guy down. If we can get more comrades, then great.

>>5113153

[ ] “Fine, I’ll help.”/stay

It's clobberin' time.

Ask Saiga if the king is, in fact, an honest to god vampire or if that was just a figure of speech. If he is we need to start training in whips.

Selene: How would we even be able to help?
Saiga: Somewhere in his mansion there has to be a control mechanism controlling it. As much as I’d hate to admit it, I’m not strong enough to take him and everyone down myself.

The shaking of the city grew more and more erratic the more time that passed. You turn and look out the window and notice that the moonlight is fading; you have to make a decision quickly.

[ ] Stay
[ ] Leave

>>5113217

Stay, what the hell.

At least we get to kill stuff.

>>5113217
Great we don't have to kill him just destroy the mechanism we can do that
[X] stay

>>5113209

He's not a vampire, he's just lived/existed in darkness for too long that his skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight.

Given his speech to Selene about protecting innocent people I think it's pretty god damned obvious that we are going to wreck that motherfucker.

AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT

>>5113174
Well why not?
We're an altruistic person and these people need help.
We've already stuck our necks out for people before and we get a chance to really piss in the eye of this government. Oh, and we'll get some reputation for it, people will respect us, the enemy will fear us.
Win-win really. What do we get by leaving? Nothing except safty and we're never going to really have that while this government exists.
So lets Jizz in their Eyes as often as we can and we've got a perfect shot here, so lets start Jackin'.

We have recently inspired Selene and said that we must help innocents when we can. We will not lose face now.

QUESTION THEN STAY, BROTHERS.

>>5113217
[X] Stay.

Well, I guess we're staying. Let's blow up some evil government technology!

>>5113247
Yes let us stay so that we may theoretically get pussy later.

OF COURSE!

>>5113242
>AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT

We have to tell someone 'Give me your face.' and then tear it off some time in the future.

HAVE TO.

Stay, we need to learn how to fight again and this guy seems weaker than Reaperbitch.
