Kuhn: (without looking up) You can go back to sleep, nothing’s happening this early in the morning.

You glance out of the window in the direction of the mountains, the thought that the sun had barely graced the golden plains taking a few seconds to register in your exhausted mind. You decide to stay awake, but not leave your comfortable position as you doubt you would be able to fall asleep again even if you tried. You watch his skillful movements as he dissects each gun individually like a surgeon on a patient.

You: (hoarse) What are you doing?

Your throat is oddly dry which leads you to believe you were sleeping with your mouth open for a significant amount of time. Kuhn remains quiet for a few seconds while he thinks of a simple and effective way to answer your question.

Kuhn: I’m trying to make a weapon that’s not large, but effective in long-range and close-range situations with a decent amount of power.

He curses when he hears something snap.

You: Seems a little too convenient. Do you think it’s possible?

He stops working for a few moments to acknowledge your words. Though it’s not reflecting in his expression, Kuhn was remembering the battle that he and Selene had endured while you were fighting the King.

Kuhn: There isn’t much choice. A useless sharpshooter is worse than a useless swordsman.

You: What’s that supposed to mean?

Kuhn: (chuckling) Nothing.

You feel a stirring inside your bed; Selene moved her body for a little bit to relieve the uncomfortable feeling that her subconscious mind was relaying to her. You and Kuhn both acknowledge she’s a heavy sleeper, but decide to stop talking until she’s awake.

A few hours later, Selene awakes – though violently. She had been dreaming she was in battle, dodging bullets fired from the fictional enemies that were above. It carried over into her physical life which caused her to roll off the bed. Kuhn didn’t say a word due to being in his own world, but you noticed and peeked over the bed to see her sprawled out face down on the floor, her hair strewn about and the blanket she had stolen during her sudden turning covering her somewhat naked appearance.

( ) Laugh

"You alright over there?"
If she seems quite flustered or upset make a joke about acting as a teddy bear to break the tension and cheer her up.

>>5186195
Walk over and offer her a hand up.
"You alright?"

Your eyes drill a hole in the back of her head for several seconds before you decide to say something.

You: Are you alright?

Selene doesn’t dignify your question with a response, instead turning to swear profusely into the blanket that’s wrapped around her figure – though it’s only heard as muffles on your end.

Kuhn: We’re going to have to leave soon.

Your eyes move from Selene, who remains on the floor, immovable, to Kuhn who was inserting a magazine into his prototype gun.

Kuhn: You managed to take down a military city and a Septima war hero, and it’s been roughly a week since it’s happened.

You: Yeah. (yawn) You heard that, Selene? Or are you too busy molesting the floor?

You and Kuhn both feel a disturbance in the force moments after you tell your joke. The room reaches an awkward silence before the perpetrator stands, snarling. Without a word, she strips herself of her shell and heads toward the bathroom; you hear the shower knob squeak and Selene scream due to the temperature of the water not long after.

Kuhn: You have a present, by the way.

While Kuhn talks, you begin to get dressed. You’re not in the mood for a shower and Kuhn’s already taken one. You decide that when Selene has finished you’ll leave the city.

Kuhn: Yep. I’m guessin’ someone heard your primary weapon was broken and decided to leave it for you. It’s outside the room.

Curious to what you’ve been brought, you move from the edge of the bed and toward the door, opening it with little force to see…

Why would we use a net anyway? We're not gladiators!

how on earth would you use a trident and chain together anyways?

>>5186587

That's a good question.

I guess we'll see.

>>5186587

One in each hand, bro, maim the fucker with one/entangle them, then you stab them.

While playing Mastodon.

Lying against the wall, nonchalantly and fierce with attitude, was your new weapon. It was a silver trident with a cloth tied against the long handle just before the prongs. It had a chain at long chain at the end of it that was neatly coiled next to it. It’s not a poor weapon choice, you believe, but the size may become impractical at a later date.

Kuhn: Ada~~~hn!

You hear the queer call of your male comrade and it sends a shiver down your spine. You can feel your bones creak as you turn around to face him to see what he wants.

Kuhn: The princess is finished.

Must have been a short shower, you think to yourself in the doorway. Sure enough, Selene emerged from the bathroom with the steam that was contained inside blowing out behind her. She was dry save for her hair, and was dressed in her usual attire. It was oddly silent between the 3 of you for a minute or two.

Selene: Let’s get the hell out of here.

-Outside-

You hold your new Trident through your arms and on your shoulders while you walk toward the city exit.

( ) Leave
( ) Wander the City
( ) Other

>>5186648

Leave for great justice. Onward for better things.

>>5186648

Wander the city, get people's praises.

>>5186683
This.

>>5186648
No point in hanging around when our job is done.
Grab a trio of horses and ride off into the sunset. See if we can get a poncho and hat to wear while riding off into said sunset.

You left without a word. Those who were not there to witness the incident had no clue who rescued them from despair; they had no one to thank and no one stepped forth to take credit. To them, you were a whirlwind – you rose out of nowhere and blew away the sand that covered their personal grounds and, just as quickly as you appeared, you and your comrades vanished into the sun.

-Outside the City-

You: Where to next?

Kuhn took out a map that he had purchased while you and Selene were hospitalized.

Kuhn: We have a long way to go. It SHOULD be at least a couple days by foot.

Selene: Fuck!

Your ears twitch when you hear Selene state her disdain for the walking they would have to endure.

The hours pass slowly, much slower than expected. The mundane activity and way of travel was broken apart by a sudden whirring and torrent of wind that came from above. Almost simultaneously, the 3 of you jerk your heads upward to find the source of the gusts and sounds.

Kuhn: A black helicopter…

You: It’s flying low. You think it’s for us?

Kuhn: I KNOW it’s for us.

Selene: Shall we shoot them?

You: We attack them, they’ll attack back. They’re also in the air and protected by an armored vehicle; too disadvantageous.

The mysterious helicopter flies over and past you toward the afternoon sun and vanishes.

Kuhn: Keep your guard up, we’re going to be in for one hell of a ride.

The 3 of you continue your walking, but nightfall soon descends and the thought of the helicopter clouds your mind.

Kuhn: I think it’s about time we set up camp.

Selene: (snide) Really?

Kuhn: Recently discovered sarcasm, have you, girly?

Selene and Kuhn were literally at each other throats while you scouted the area for the best place to rest.

( ) Near the trees
( ) Near the bushes
( ) In the tall grass
( ) Other

>>5186886

Hm... Tall grass will probably have disease carrying bugs so I say trees - assuming they're sturdy enough to stand up to potential gun fire.

Near the trees, if anything, it'll protect you from the sunlight in the morning.

Near the threes, they give cover and sleeping in makeshift hammock in better than sleep in the bushes admits a crapload of bugs.

Near the trees, but make sure there is an overhang or some sort of cave. And shield the fire so the light does not project that far into the night.

CUT DOWN THE TREES AND BUILD A CABIN

While resting, ask Kuhn what military vehicles he is qualified to operate. Might come in useful later.

>>5187001
Trees, they can hide us from the helicopter at least.

You: Trees.

Kuhn & Selene: ?

You: We’ll take cover in the trees. It should give us some cover and it’ll contain significantly less bugs and animals than the grass would.

Kuhn: Makes sense.

The moon hangs ominously above you as you head toward the tall trees in the distance. With each step you take, you feel more and more anxious; if it is indeed the enemy then they’ve taken their sweet time to track you down. While off inside your mind, you were not aware of the distance you had been covering, only being brought back by bumping into a tired and annoyed Selene. She snarled at you and your recklessness, which was enough of a signal for you to head toward safety, aka behind Kuhn.

It was dark within the small forest, the only light being the moon shining against and between the trees. Kuhn folds his arms while he internally calculated what they should do.

It’s not too cold out so a fire isn’t particularly necessary.

Kuhn: We need to decide a lookout before anything. Adahn, if you will.

Choose a lookout:
( ) You
( ) Selene
( ) Kuhn

>>5187127
Take watch. We're too anxious to sleep well anyway at the moment.

>>5187127

You.

Kuhn isn't really practical in the middle of a forest, and Selene is on her period.

Muss Selene's hair.

>>5187164

Receive sodomy via baseball bat.

>>5187200
Count yourself lucky that you still have a hand afterwards.

Take watch. Practice with our retarded new weapon, I guess.

You: I’ll take watch.

Kuhn: Okay then. Good night.

Kuhn drops to the ground and uses his pack as a pillow. His response to it was rather quick, a little TOO quick for your tastes. You glare a hole in the back of his head and you can feel his grin even though you can’t see it. After a minute of your invisible battle, you give and sigh, conceding defeat for the time being.

You look for Selene to wish her a good night, but you find that she’s already lying down and snoring softly; ever since this morning, she’s seemed a little… off, you think. It may be all in your mind, which is another thought that comes soon after. You stop dwelling on it while looking for a place to sit and gaze at the moon while being on watch. You have no idea why, but the brightness and presence of the moon makes you anxious and, at the same time, it captivates you. After a few minutes of staring, your mind grows blank and the moon grows close until it consumes your being.

?: Which do you like better, the sun or the moon?
??: I don’t know. Does it matter?
?: Hmph. You’re so difficult; I personally like the moon.
??: Oh? Why’s that?
?: I don’t know… it just seems to have a calming effect on me.
??: That’s weird, it only makes me anxious.
?: I see… Do you think we’ll ever stop fighting?
??: I don’t know.
?: You never do.
-

You hear the snapping of a finger and, in a moment, you’re out of the lunar-induced trance. You don’t know how much time has passed, but you’ve noticed that both Kuhn and Selene are snoring away.

( ) Stand and stretch
( ) Lay down
( ) Other

>>5187127
Take watch, Kuhn is the only one who could hit a helicopter and Selene is pissed off.
Plus it gives us time to think about things. Who we are, what we're going to do, Selene, maybe train with our new weapon.

>>5187258
No. NO. No visions.

We're meant to be on watch.

Stand and stretch, walk a perimeter. Gotta stay frosty.

>>5187261
THE SNAPPING FINGER WAS ACTUALLY SOMEONE STEPPING ON LEAF LITTER. GO INVESTIGATE.

Stand and strech, maybe do a few sit ups or push ups out of boredom. Lean on our trident and keep watch for the enemy. Quietly hum the sash my father wore under our breath.

>>5187309
>Quietly hum the sash my father wore under our breath.

I understand these words but not the sentence they form.

>>5187343

Old Irish song.

Your muscles feel tight and stiff; you may have been in the illusion for several hours, you think. Not even a few seconds after you stand were you in danger, and in pain. In instinct, you drop to the ground and grab your arm to limit the blood that seeped from the wound; you groan, but not loud enough to be heard by your comrades.

Your enemies are using silencers on their weapons, which only makes the situation worse. You wonder if you should involve your friends in what is currently happening.

( ) Wake Selene
( ) Wake Kuhn
( ) Wake both
( ) Head into battle alone
( ) Other

>>5187377
Wake them. The last thing we need is somebody doubling back on our ass and shooting them in their sleep.

>>5187377

Goddamn it, I knew it.

( ) Wake Kuhn

We don't need Selene. She's impractical in this situation in that it requires stealth, planning, and long range weapons, as well as other things. She'd be a liability, if anything.

She'll probably be pissed if she finds out though.

>>5187377

Both, hopefully they're smart enough to avoid making too much noise and getting shot too and instead try to surprise them.

>>5187413

One of them is.

The other would rather beat their faces in.

Can you guess which one is which?

>>5187439

She knows what getting shot like feels, I don't think she'd want that again.

In the words of mighty Jack:

Those things smart, I tell ya.

>>5187399

This. We don't need Selene for this battle.

>>5187462

like feels?

It's a bit too early to be drinking, indeed.

>>5187470
We might not need her for the fightan but she can't defend herself while she's asleep. How would you feel if we go dicking off to be heroes and we come back to find her with exit wounds where her face used to be?

>>5187483

True. I change my answer then. That should make it 3 to 1 to wake them up.

>>5187377
Wake them both, we need them and what if they sneak up on us and blow our friends braisn out while we sleep.

PILLS HERE!

You rush toward Kuhn and Selene respectively, waking them, but making sure to whisper in order to avoid the potential of an enemy listening. The 3 of you gather in a small circle in your makeshift camp. You explain the situation until this point while pressing your hand against the entry hole of your wounded arm. Selene looks at you while you’re conversing with Kuhn to avoid you seeing her concerned for your well-being.

Kuhn: So what’s the plan?

Selene shakes her head to signal that she hasn’t or cannot think of one. This puts the responsibility on you.

( ) Devise your plan of action

Grabbin an extra pill.

Transform into a panther. Use superior night vision to hunt down your foes and drive them into a firing line for Kuhn.

>>5187540

Divide their forces up.

Make a fake trap, which will cause them to split up. Then go for their leader; they'll have no reason to kill us if their leader is dead.

We currently don't know how many there are, how strong they are, and who they're working for.

What we do know is that their weapons are silenced.

>>5187540
Whisper "We get up the tree quietly. If we get up there before they get here then we can get the drop on them from hiding."

>>5187569
>>5187578

These. Combined.

>>5187540

You can't see how many there are, or where they are.

Also, as an added fact, supressed weapons still make a flash, albeit a lighter one.

Get Kuhn to shoot something, or get a decoy.

>>5187599

We're in a forest of some sort. It's unlikely we'll see a flash between the trees and the bushes, but that's just what I think.

I'll give you another 15 minutes to make any last minute changes, additions, or what have you. After that, I'll just use the most voted for option.

>>5187607

You guys really do not know anything about warfare, do you? We are in a forest at NIGHT. Every shot will be like a fucking lighthouse and if Kuhn starts shooting he will be riddled with bullets faster than we can say: "Cheese!"

>>5187590
This might work but it's hoping the enemy don't have night vision, maybe try this out in panther form so we can see them?

>>5187717

We need to set up a decoy. An unsuccessful trap that will "alert them" and cause them to split up and search the area as a result and then take them out one by one.

We need to get Rambo on their asses.

>>5187737

IT'S A BRIGHT FUCKING LIGHT.

You can be fucking colorblind and still see a large flash of bright.

>>5187829

Disregard that, I'm drunk and I can't read.

>>5187739

yes, we need a decoy, like a pan or something related, have Adahn or Selene do it while Kuhn watches who's who and where.

You: Kuhn, I’ll separate and draw them out. When I do, take them down. I don’t know how many there are, but it’s our only chance.

Kuhn hands you two grenades that you can use to cause them to split up.

Kuhn: Don’t get yourself killed.

You: I’ll be fine. Oh, and Selene.

Selene: (attentive) What is it?

You: Stay out of trouble and out of battle.

It took her a few seconds to completely digest the words. When she did, she approaches you in obvious anger.

Selene: What are you trying to do?

You: I’m trying to keep us alive.

Selene: (grabs your face) Listen. I don’t need people looking out for me.

You: (slaps hand away) No, YOU listen. You are not anywhere near qualified and experienced to handle this situation effectively. You’ll get yourself and us killed; just stay out of trouble.

You feel her fist slam into your back. You stumble forward before turning to face the seething woman.

Selene: And who the fuck put YOU in charge?!

She’s yelling now and it definitely gave off your position, you believe. You glare at her, showing how serious you take this situation.

You: I don’t have time to babysit a little girl who can’t follow simple orders. If you want to go running home to daddy, go ahead. If you want to get yourself killed, feel free. I don’t need a liability, especially in the middle of battle.

You turn to Kuhn, who remained silent.

You: Let’s go.

You leave Selene alone in the abandoned camp and go to face your ever-approaching enemies.

You skulk through the forest after transforming into your panther identity. Using your superior night-vision, you are able to locate a fairly large group of soldiers searching the woods together. You count 10.

( ) What now?

That could have gone better.

>>5187883
One nade; time it so it blows above their heads then charge right in as a panther, get out and hide before the smoke clears.

>>5186184
>Part 1-10
I only see 2.5-10.

>>5188816

One and two did not get archived, but 2.5 has a summary.

Huh, did the OP go to bed/work without announcing it?

>>5188946

Well, 4chan stopped working inbetween.

I'll begin again at 10.
