Now, Henry Spigglesworth, creator of Cassius, are about to enter Yorkshire.

You have negotiated a deal for

(a) A deal on materials, for the creation of two highly illegal Weapons-Grade Con-Men within (1) year.
(b) A home, in a hopefully tasteful Inn that your psychotic bitch-mother likes.

What do?

YOu need to find the place to set up your new shop.

>>13421965

Arriving at the disgusting hovel the Bitch-Queen of the Nordic Countries calls an "Inn", you send out Cassius, your loyal Con-Man to find a suitable location to dig out a Workshop. His Spade-Like Hands and gentlemanly demeanor will surely come in handy.

He comes back with (3) suitable locations for you to choose from.

(1) A cavity beneath the Inn. It would be easy to convert, but for all it's disreputable...reputation, the Inn does see a large amount of activity.
(2) An abandoned hovel quite some distance from the Inn. Pros: No one goes there. Cons: Save for rabid Con-Men.
(3) A cave outside of town. Pros: Pre-Dug, No One Goes there. Cons: It'll be an absolute bitch to walk there every day, and you are a Con-Maker in rather poor shape.

Choices, /tg/?

(3)
YOu could get some workout. Also, its reallyhelpfull for you, not to get awfully disturbed
.

>>13422008

Can't say the Inn is safe, if we decide to make illegal Con-Men with Weapons and stuff.

>New London
American who wishes he understands Britishness Detected.

>>13422050

But the inside of your mask will get like, hella' sweaty. Get's uncomfortable.

NEVERTHELESS, your Ankle-Loving mind decides that the cave, ALL THAT WAY OUT THERE is a suitable location. Eager to leave the filth-sack they call an Inn (Your disappearance marked by drunken-jeers by THAT WOMAN, Queen Curse Her Name.) you have Cassius begin preparations for converting it to a Proper Workshop of Gentlemanly caliber.

What type of Workshop does Spigglesworth desire? And more importantly, what kind of room will you create to house Jezebel, the Prostitute-Con who's ankles captured your heart, still left in your old Workshop in Old London? If your father hasn't found her, she'd still be attached to that parasitic Corpse-Monster.

What's a Con-Maker to do, /tg/?

>>13422079

Icelandic who thinks you fuckers are all craaaaazy~ has successfully passed for Americunt.

Alternate History, ho!

>>13422111

A workshop for all manner of silly little work and gentlemanly golums! Also, make a harem room for DAT ANKLE.

>>13422189

You wonder what a Golum is, or why you thought of the word. Obviously you meant Con-Men.

But nevertheless, Jezebels Ankles require housing. Cassius tireless work quickly excavates 3 rooms for your workshop, all lovingly sculpted by those hideous badger-claws you drunkenly stitched on to his stumps. You silently wonder if the mustache implant was Gentlemanly enough for him, as you investigate. Three rooms, 2 side-by side and 10x10 Meters Wide. The third is hidden under an Indian Carpet knitted by a family of poor immigrants. Your complete misunderstanding of how much a Coin is worth has resulted in them being able to eat for a month, you dumbass. How will you threaten them into silence now?

The third room is 20x20 Meters, with a special cavity designed to house the corpse of the monstrous creature that your guardian slew.

Now that the basics (But not the required coziness) have been worked upon, how will you go about retrieving Jezebel and the Corpse-Creature she is still attached to? She is still back in the City. And your Father is most likely still hunting for you. You have a fair bit of coin on hand, but being a sheltered idiot, you have no idea what it's worth.

>>13422242

YOu can't go back to the city. not now. First you need a proper base of operations: Start rigging this place up

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, more ConQuest!

>>13422377
Rigging it up? How so? You have the necessary basics. A workshop, a bookshelf, a drainage system, and your secret cloister. Remember, you have access to a wide variety of materials through your contact, and you have Cassius. He does the work of 19.01 poorly payed Immigrant-Slaves, for the price of 3.4. You calculated it once when you were bored.

>>13422418
That's right Fatguys and Girls, and now with

(1) Reasonable Times (If you leave on the Eastern Coast
(2) A well-kept schedule (Tell me what day(s) you want me to run this shit. I have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD on weekdays.)
(3) 20% more ankle. Our team of slave-drawfags is currently working on Play-Ankle as we speak.

>>13422427
Well, Con-Men need human flesh, lets go buy cheep immigrants and make more Con-Men to sell! WE NEED MORE COIN!

>>13422447
>Leave on the East Coast

WELL THEN. Clearly I must engage in ritual fisticuffs with my traitorous fingers.

>>13422459
If you remember correctly, the markets are open today. But you'd have to walk ALL THE WAY BACK TO TOWN.

It would be a simple matter to procure, at today's prices, 50kg of Immigrantflesh to the Queen. Checking your purse, you have 6 of them left.

>>13422079
It's alternate history/universe. Abe Lincoln survived the assassination attempt because his Con-wife was able to stop what's his face at the Opera. Also, iirc, Tesla is still here.

>>13422242
Step one: Get ourselves situated here. WE needn't rush. Either our dad found our workshop and has taken Jezebel, or he hasn't. If he has, no point in returning. If he hasn't, we've got all the time in the world. For now, let's get started making and procuring Con-things to make us some money, and hopefully be able to fulfill our contract for DEM SECURITY CONS. Though they should wait for a bit, until we've had some more practice.

>>13422478

Clearly! We walk back to town, buy 2 Queens of flesh to make Con-Men to sell!

>>13422447
Awesome. It's good to see Con Quest return. I'd been afraid it had been abandoned.

>>13422515

Before you buypurchase the Immigrant Flesh, your fractured personality must decide.

What type of Con-Men would you make, and what would you make them from? Flesh is merely the core of the Con-Man, not the substance.

Suggestions
Guard-Cons for your humble home
Generic Soldier-Cons to sell to the Army, who pay fairly well
A harem of Con-Women. You are rather young, and to be honest, you haven't seen an ankle in quite some time. Con-Making is lonely work, even with such Gentlemanly assistants such as Cassius.

Soldier-con. They can perform the work of guards until we sell them to the army, and gives us an excuse to have something with more lethal weaponry than a legal guard-Con.

>>13422579

One Solider Con, which we sell, and a Guard-Con.

>>13422577

It had been abandoned. After about...the 4th thread, a large variety of Personal Issues which I would rather not share came up, and by the time my life came back into my own hands, so to speak, Con-Quest had slipped my mind. It took the reminder of a friend of mind, who had followed it without my knowing, to bring me back to this shit. I'm also planning on bringing back Tinyhammer, once I get a few ideas boiling around in my brainpan.

Yes. That was me. Yes, I am a horrible person.

>>13422629
.......glorious......

>>13422608
>>13422628

Excellent! Buying 100kg of Immigrant Flesh, neatly packaged for your use, you wonder. What type of weaponry would you equip them with, and what materials will you use? Your supplier has quite the variety. Remember, Spigglesworth, the sky is the limit when it comes to ideas. Lightning Spitting 20 ft Newts forged from Living Blood and Iron? Totally do-able.

>>13422661

That newt sounds like a wonderful idea, lets put that in the book to do later. Let's do a large canine type creature, Corgi preferably, with a small sharp teeth and liquid fire spit. Make it from Iron and BLOOD. The Guard-Con should look like a Butler, with a shovel and a hand! Make it from what ever our lovely little gentleman butler-con is made from.

>United Scouthi
Captcha-Con Agrees!

rolled 2 = 2

>>13422811
No objections at all. Let's go.

Is anyone going to roll?

rolled 1 = 1

Rollin' Rollin' Rolling for the good times!

>that derpory
Captcha-Con! Stop that!

>>13422859
Silly me. Allow me to consult my charts-AH FUCK IT.

Over the course of 2 weeks, work goes MAGNIFICENTLY. You are already half-way done.

Now, continue building, or look for a buyer RIGHT NOW?

>>13422868
4Chan was not letting me post. And curses, had it continued to do so, we'd have a 1 instead of my slightly less-good 2.

>>13422891
Probably best to get a buyer ready (well, we know it's the army since otherwise it's illegal, and we can't afford to get into illegal shit just yet, we're still making ourselves home here) now. Send a message to the Blue-Boys or whoever the army contact is and let them know we're working on something for them.

And now it is dinner. Hopefully we'll have some more Queens when I return.

rolled 5 = 5

>>13422891

Let's finish the work before finding a buyer. Still put out word to the Army about us going to make them something to sell.

>>13422891
keep going, this is meant to be practice with a perk of getting money.

It is a long and boring 3 Weeks continuing your work, but as you shoved in various organs into the black heart of your Con-Men, they awaken. The Corgi-Con is suitably adorable, but continuously dribbles Alchemical Fire from a location you cannot find. It has filled up 3x Bathtubs with over 1.2 it's own weight of it's hideous burning saliva

The Butler-Con is incredibly Gentlemanly, and it and Cassius have begun battling for the title of most Classy.

Well, actions?
Roll for FINDING A BUYER, you only get one re-roll, pick the lowest. I will be off to walk the dog for a few minutes, and then return and continue.

In one and a half hours, we will have our scheduled Question-Time and HideousDream Moment

rolled 4 = 4

>>13423000

Contact the Army! Let them meet our cute little killer!

>Wav Widdleve
Captcha-Con has named the Corgi 'Wav Widdleve'.

>>13423076

Someone else roll, the Dice Gods do not look upon me happily.

>>13423083

Well, only post? I can handle this.

Searching for a buyer for yon adorable Corgi Battle Machine, you find Keff. The Fat Sonuvvabitch runs the local recruitment center, skimming off the supply of Recruitment-Queens, the single Queen promised to every man who joins her Army or her Cons.

He offers you 20 of them for the Corgi, which you know to be well below an acceptable price.

Roll again gentlemen, you are going to HAGGLE.

rolled 4 = 4

>>13423264
In ur thread, failing ur rollz

>>13423264

A further clarification of Rolling Rules.

Whenever you attempt to do an action that I deem you cannot easily do, you must roll a d10, aiming for as low as possible. You are granted ONE, and ONLY ONE re-roll, and may take the lowest of the two. 5 or below is generally going to pass on most things, but of course that won't ALWAYS apply. Varying Degree's of success as well

rolled 9 = 9

>>13423264
Let us see how low this bastard can go. Let's give him 5 queen over the acceptable price.

rolled 9 = 9

>>13423303
OH FUCK. REROLL. DICE ROLL!

>>13423303
>>13423309


WELL THEN.

Holy shit man I'm gonna break my rules already. Re-roll that shit one last time, and whoever you are, banned from rolling. FOREVER.

>>13423309
>>13423303

Nooooo! The dice god's frown upon me.

rolled 6 = 6

>>13423333
Praise be to the Dice Gods?

rolled 3 = 3

>>13423333

What's wrong with this roll?
>>13423294

rolled 1 = 1

Well, Shit.
>>13423303
>>13423309
>>13423348
I guess I'm banned. CURSE YOU DICE GODS! This is worse then failing a will save like 12 times!

>>13423348

Praise be to the Dice Gods and my Quads. Check em' /tg/, or is such heathen vernacular unacceptable in these parts?

Keff ogles you angrily, and it feels like he's staring into your soul, and your pants. However, you up the price by 5 Queens. 25 Queens however, is nothing to scoff at. For you DnD playing Grognards, it's the Platinum Coins of Brittania.

Now what?

>>13423294
>>13423303
>>13423309
Good thing we got that 4 first. Though the fact that we already got the 4 makes me annoyed that we needlessly wasted the reroll. Maybe have 3 votes able to overturn a reroll? I dunno, maybe I'm thinking about it too much.

>>13423373

I... WHAT?!

>>13423373
>>13423357
>>13423348

>>13423376

Well, either we take the 25 Queens for the massive success that is Corgi-Con, or we shop around. Maybe it's worth it to try again to find another merchant. Let's shop around!

Well. Since I somehow missed that first 4, up that added Coins to YOU NOW GOT 30 COINS FROM KEFF GROIN-MONGLER.

However, he did mongle your groin.


Your inventory:

()43 Queens
()34 Kilos of Prime Quality Flesh
()A memento of the Con-Woman who raised you
()Cassius
()Un-Named Butler-Con

STATUS

HP 5/5
Con-Points 10/30
Ankle-Desire 100/100
Mongled Groin 34/100

>>13423468

MOOOOORE FLESH! WE NEED MORE FLESH! Also, we should turn the remaining flesh (if we have any) into Cons we can sell.

>>13423539


You briefly consider buying 8600 Kilograms of Flesh. With the bulk discount, ti would be around 12,000 Kilo's, in reality. Holy shit. Too much.

You buy 400 Kilograms of butchered Humanflesh LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.

What now? You have quite a nest-egg from that Con. Not enough to be rich, but that's quite a sum you have.

>>13423468
We'll need another 100 kg of flesh. Not sure what to make wiht it, BUT I WANT IT. Also, let's put Cassius to good use. Have him scout the area, see if there's any deposits of valuable minerals. It's literally what he was made to do.

>>13423591
Roll dem' d10's.

One re-roll. Pick lowest. 3 Votes to overturn shit re-rolls. Only one voterturn

CASSIUS WILL SCOUT FOR MINERALS LIKE THE DORF HE DREAMS TO BE

rolled 4 = 4

>>13423615
OKAY THEN. I SUGGEST, FELLOW ANONS, THAT WE DON'T REROLL EXCEPT FOR PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THINGS, OR WHEN IT'S A PARTICULARLY BAD RESULT.

>>13423627
FOR INSTANCE, THIS 4 IS PRETTY GOOD. NO NEED TO REROLL IN THE SLIM HOPES OF SOMETHING BETTER.

Anyway, /caps.

>>13423573

We take what flesh we have, making another Guard-Con, this time looking like maid with Super Karate Chopping action. We do need to keep our base clean. Turn the rest into a mixture of Diggers/Labourers and other Con to sell. Queen's are quite useful, no?

Alternatively, do not re-roll at all. If shit happens then it happens, what is the point of rolling if there is no risk?

>>13423653
Because only 1 reroll per thread. Save it for something important, or spend it early? It's a risk.

>>13423627
>>13423639

LOUD PERSON LOUDLY FORGETS YOU PICK THE LOWEST OF RE-ROLLS.

OTHERWISE, GOOD ROLL. CASSIUS FIND A LARGE DEPOSIT OF HIGH-QUALITY IRON BENEATH THE HILLS BY THE CAVES, AND BEGINS SMELTING IT IN THE BURNING FURNACE OF HIS BELLY.

Meanwhile, you begin thinking of Con-Designs.

A maid who fights like the Mad-Monks of the Orient? Possible. But what does your fractured mind truly desire...

>>13423679
Yes, but still. I mean, wiht the chance that we could be in life-threatening danger, it might be better to save the reroll for that, rather than for something like this when a 4 is already pretty good, and there's only a 30% chance of getting something better?

>>13423679
Okay, who can we sell iron to?

>>13423730

Sell? With the facilities at your disposal, it would be in your best interests to use this as materials for Con-Men. Iron is fairly expensive in Brittania.

>>13423679
I want to use that Iron we found to make an armoured thug-con, the sort of freakishly tough and strong creature that could headbutt an elephant into submission.

>>13423756
Ah, even better. I suggest our next soldier con be made heavily of metal, to increase its defensive capabilities. Perhaps a metal man, with some kind of cannon in each arm that shoots small explosives.

>>13423782
>>13423763


BY YOUR POSTS COMBINED, the idea I see is of an Ape-Like monstrosity of Hatred and Iron, firing Barrel-Sized shells from it's mighty mitts, piston-driven neck head-butting the world into submission. You will call him Brick.
Brick Mcshithouse, the Boxiest Bastard in Burlytown.

Acceptable? If so, somebody roll.

rolled 2 = 2

>>13423820
I love it.

>>13423828

C-C-C-CRITICAL

The idea bursts from your mind like an infant from a woman's chest, which is what you assume childbirth to be like. As strong as you might, working day and night, you build the biggest Con-Man this side of the Original Wormwood. Standing at 8 Feet Tall, and weighing Holyshittheydon'tmakescalesthatbigyet, he's a monster. And since fists are not weapons in Brittania, he is all legal.

It still took you 4 Weeks, and the deadline for those Guard-Cons are coming up within 10.

What Do?

>>13423885
Hmm...... Wait, original Wormwood? So, there are others? Interesting. As for Brick, I'm loathe to give him away. Let's work ourselves hard and get two identical (or as close as possible) innocuous thuggish guards for our sponsor to fulfill our contract. But don't actually make them bad quality, just work ourselves hard to meet DAT DEADLINE.

>>13423934
I am a lazy piece of shit, give me some designs and then roll for whichever you find the best.

>>13423885
Brick Mcshithouse will be our new body guard. we will make some more lesser guard-cons to fill the order mabey some sort of stone-ape creatures highly skilled at wrestleing? make a matched set.

>>13423991
>stone wrestlers
...can we make some luchadores?

>>13424015

Yeah sure why not.

Roll dat shittu

>>13424015
YES. TWIN MASKED LUCHADORES. If that don't draw attention and business to their store while simultaneously giving them protect, I don't know what will.

>>13423991

Let us make a Four armed Guard-Con, which built from fine iron and other metals, Standing at 10 feet tall, this four armed monster would be perfect to guard a merchant. Calling it, Arm-Con, we can create a sneaky Hawk, at maybe 4 feet tall with a wing span of 6 or 7 feet made of some light metal with feathers to create flight! The perfect pair for our Contract.

Can we retrieve Jezebell now?

rolled 10 = 10

>>13424015

>was Approve

You managed to punch yourself in the mask with a wrench.

>>13424048

Well, snap.

>>13424048
Awsome I-wait high is bad in this quest isnt it?

fuck

>>13424088

Rolling Low is Great. High? HIT YOURSELF IN THE FACE.

>>13424069
it was a good idea, can we try again or did we give ourself mild brain damage and forget about it?

>>13424114

You cry for a full day before GETTING UP THE GUTS to try again.

However, you did sleep. Which means~

INTERMISSION. You are free to ask any questions you wish related to Con-Quest, whilst I walk my dog for a minute or two. I'll answer them for about 5-10 minutes, and you'll have one of Henry Spigglesworth Brand HORRIFYING FREUDIAN NIGHTMARES.

So, question tiem.

>>13424135
what would have happened if we had not ran away instead of waiting for our scarily pissed father?

>>13424158

He would have hugged you, told you he loved you being his only son, and then set you up at a new school.

Seriously I don't know why you guys ran off.

...hah, I get it. Cassius Clay. Uhm. Anyway. Question.

I'm curious about prosthetics in this world. Would a man be able to lose a limb and replace it with a Con-Leg or something? But then again they require mouths and human brains...in that case, could you make a Con-Morphic weapon to replace a missing limb?

rolled 2 = 2

>>13424048
See, THIS would be a good place to use the reroll.

>>13424196
To clarify, it could turn into a grappling tool, or a spear, or grow bones or something when you command it to stop being a normal limb.

>>13424187
We panicked. Well, ONE person panicked, and it was slow at the time, so.... Ah well. This is okay, it will build our character. And we met our bitch-mother! We can ask dad about her when we come back to the city.

>>13424196

How else do you think that the God-Emperor Roosevelt became the Monster of America, carrying the city of D.C. on his mighty back, crushing Cities beneath his tread?

OF COURSE IT WORKS AND IT'S AWESOME.

>>13424228
...I cried tears of manly joy.

>>13424228
Damn. The more I hear about this setting the more I want it to be a published series of books, or a TV show or something. Just.... damn.

5 More Minutes for Questions, typing up your brick-shittingly terrifying dream up in the mean-time.

>>13424273
could we make a psychologist-con to deal with the freaky dreams?

>>13424313
NEVER

In the mean-time, a re-purposed pic of your father.

You sleep, and as always it is a fevered sleep. Tossing and turning. As always, you flip between nightmarish places, awakening first in a realm of Tentacles sliding across your skin and between your legs, choking to death before waking up with a smiling woman flaying your skin as she told you how she loved you. Walking down a hallway as fire burned at your feet, holding a child that bit and chewed your throat. Being devoured a thousand times in a thousand pieces by a chittering horde of goblins with the face of your "Mother".

It never ends until you finally wake with Cassius shaking you, slapping your face.

He apologizes for his transgression, but you had clawed at the walls until your fingernails came off in bloody scraps before he heard your screaming. Your throat is raw, your hands mangled, but you feel no pain. It is invigorating.


What do you do, Henry?

>>13424349
Oh God that's terrifying. It's like a bloated, old professional wrestler who's had a few coronary bypasses but refuses to eat some healthy fucking food.

>>13424384

God damn man, go see a damn doctor.

>>13424384
Maybe try patching up your hands with some medical supplies.

>>13424405

You should do that. In fact, you do so, your hands still shaking, nay, vibrating from fear. it makes for a painful experience as you pull shards of keratin from the bleeding mass of flesh. Wrapping up your fingers with thick bandages, you wonder how the hell you'll make the Con-Wrestlers now.

What do?

>>13424384
make con-fingernails as replacements

>>13424451
>>13424440
>>13424405

BUT HOW. Look at your fingers man Queen Damn.

>>13424440
Uh.... use the 2 I rerolled here? >>13424212

>>13424481
have our other cons help move the varrious bits we cant. with some difficulty we should be able to do the vital bits. now quit whining we have fingernails to make and pain dulling brandy to drink.

>>13424508

Decide what materials/whether you'll put weapons in your mangled fingers. I'll waive the roll with the Con-Mens help.

>>13424508
if we have any iron left we can use that to make them

>>13424520
for weapons I am thinking a combo of tools and finger blades/needles(for the pinkies)

>>13424544
mabey have one of them fire a poisoned dart on command life that really deadly shellfish

>>13424544
Alright Sir Dubstep.

With the aid of your Conmen, and ALL THE BRANDY IN THE CUPBOARD you implant extendable blades and needles into your fingers. Though drunk, you manage to craft them well enough that they aren't even noticable by you, until you extend them with but a thought.

You have made your first step to Praising the Roosessiah, the epitome of Con and Man combination. Praise the Americanum, Praise the Roosessiah!

>>13424587
awsome, now lets have a quick nap to sleep off the brandy and get to work on those luchadores of stone

can we use that two someone rolled a few post back?

(anaesthetic not included, but get some of the finest brandy around for a low, low price)

>>13424637
Yeah sure why not.

Working tirelessly, you finish the Stonemen, reminiscent of the Wrestlers of the Spanish Colonies, their Granite-Shoulders reminiscent of the Mountains of their fake-homeland. Truly these are some truly Sicknasty, as the local vernacular puts it, Con-Men.

Sell these Wicked Monsters? You have only a week before your deadline.

>>13424697
use them to fill the order

>>13424673
great idea, we can check with that foul woman if there would be a market for finger pistols and blades

Again, when can we get Jezebel?

>>13424697
Yeah, fill the order.

>>13424697
Don't forget to craft leather lucha masks for them! Without the masks, THEY ARE NOTHING.

>>13424710

Walking your Massive Stonemen down to the Merchant (Being sure to bring Brick Mcshithouse along the way), you strut through the criminal quarters, because HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE MORE THAN 2 TONS OF CON-MEN FOLLOWING YOUR ORDERS. Why haven't you abused this yet.

The Merchant greets you happily, and gives you 50 Queens as part of the deal. It would be 100 for Con-Men of such high-quality, but the deal was a deal. The transferring of ownership goes by quickly, and they appear to no longer follow your commands. A good Con-Maker always leaves a back-door though...

What do now?

Also, are Thursdays a good day for everyone to be the FOR SURE WEEKLY DAY? I can do more than that, but I want one day to be my "Never gonna miss this" day.

>>13424778
Thursday sounds good. Friday might get you more people on because of Zeonquest, but on the other hand that might overshadow Con Quest. I'm fine with either.

Now, let us find one of those head doctors. These nightmares are actually hurting us physically, not just mentally anymore. They need to be stopped.

>>13424771

The universe vomits out a pair of Leather Masks out of the ether for the Stone-Men as you leave the store. They put them on, and you hear the Shopkeep arguing with them to make them take the garishly covered things off.

That was odd.

>>13424710
thursday is good anytime in specific?

also lets swager over to that bitches taveren to show off brick and find out if theres a market for hand/finger weapons

>>13424806

Striding down to the Tavern, Brick Mcshithouse in tow, you ask about for the desire for Finger Weaponry. You get more offers than you could shake a stick at before you walk outside to consider their offers.

How much should you charge for these procedures? And are you going to become a grafter of flesh like that odd Oriental Con-Maker with the screws in her head?

The general accepted price by these louts seems to be 5 Queens each, which is absurdly high for the price of materials and time to you, which is absurdly low. The consequences of drunkard criminals walking about with undetectable weaponry does fleetingly come to mind....

What do?

>>13424919
WEll obviously, it's not totally undetectable. Not for anyone but high-paying customers. And your wording on the price confused me. Is 5 queens each a good or bad price?

>>13424973

To put it simply. 5 Queens is to them, a good price. Something they'd work a month for. To you, it's becoming pocket change (At the rate of Queen-Gaining from selling Cons thus far), but it costs you almost nothing to actually do the procedure. It's something you could do in less than an hour, and with very cheap materials.

>>13424919
fuck em, charge 7 queens for the pistols and 6 for the blades. we got brick incase anyone gives us trouble and if theres any trouble with the city we have our cave to hide in and we can always leave.

also make a big thick sturdy door for our cave, we don want people/wildlife/cons wandering in.

>>13424919

The choice is clear.

Get in cahoots with the local police station, tell the police that they should charge to issue a "hand weaponry" license. The license? Five crowns.

You still charge five crowns for each customer, but now the police knows who's getting the procedure, and even better, you could charge extra for policemen to get better quality hand weaponry.

Conman economics; create a market, and then exploit it.

>>13424997
also get one of our idle cons to prepare the supplies for the finger weapons so we can make them damn near effortlesly

>>13424919
Statistically, being drunk and unruly with an awesome weapon means you will show said awesome weapon to other people in attempts to look cool. So it's not like people won't know they have it.

You, Good Anon, are great. Let's do it.

>>13425007
Fuck yes, THIS.

Sometimes you terrify me. Pick which plans to use/merge, you economic fiends you.

>>13425007

Accepting the sweat-stained fistfuls of cash with that blank mask-like face, you begin performing the procedure over and over and over as the hours go on, pockets growing heavier by the minute. Then, as they collapsed into unconsciousness, you find a Blueboy and inform him of your plan.

A devilish smile sweeps across his muscle-deformed face, before he hands you a small reward for your "Good Deeds"

You go back to your cave, taking care to reinforce the door before smiling, thinking on what to do next.

You got 47 Queens total. One of the drunken Fistfuls must have been emptier than you thought. Oh well, you still made a massive profit.


What do Now?

>>13425058
Police negotiation first, collecting materials second, installing on drunken layabouts third.

>>13425058
The one where we get in good wiht the Blue Boys/police.

>>13424997
raise the prices like I said here so the finger weapons dont be come too common, they are the cool thug weapons not something for any drunk with too much money on hand.

then wait a day or two and cut a deal with the police, 3 crowns per name to know who got the con-fingers and another five to get better versions
(poison dart and if we can mannage it a tazer finger)

and have our idle cons set up the materials so we only need to spend a day or two to make enough finger cons to last months

>>13425111
Whoops, late post is late. Uhm. Think about what kind of Con-Men you want to make next before talking to the Johns to set up another contract?

>>13425101
I think now is the time... the time to write a letter to our father. Probably should try to explain why we ran away for no reason >.>

damn, too slow.

let me think...lets chat up a few merchants, show off brick and point out the luchadores. then start asking if they need any guards or moveing cons. mabey look into a formal contract with the military or local goverment

>>13425230


Of course. Write it up Anons, write a heartfelt letter to your father. It will be the last thing for today, as I am getting off in veryshortly. I will continue tomorrow, alright?

I second writing a letter of apology to our father.

Then see about finding out how to make it legal for Brick McShithouse to have a pair of mortars on his shoulders, before installing said mortars.

Yo dawg I herd u liek smashing shit so I put mortars on your shoulders so you can smash shit while you smash shit.

What about Jezebel? Have we gotten her back yet?

>>13425308

No. That is something for tomorrow, for I am the sleepies right now.

If the thread is still up tomorrow, I'll bump this up around 4-5 PM EST, if not, post a new thread around that time.

Dear Dad,

I want you to know that I am doing not badly. I know that it probably confused you why I ran away. Even I'm not sure why I did it. Seeing you with the Dean's body though, and having you yell at me to run... I took it to heart, and I ran. I hope that you are doing well for yourself, and that the Blue Boys aren't too much trouble, what with the whole "killing a guy" thing.

Love, Henry.

Dearest Father,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I have not heard any news of what happened at the Academy or from New-London, and I thought it would be most prudent for me to send you a sign that I still live yet. I realize it is futile for me to communicate via posted mail, for I do not feel you should see me at this time, and I am sure you have been searching high and low for me. Regardless, you are my father, and you deserve to hear from me.

At the moment, I am well. My creation for my final has been working most wonderfully, and I have been honing my craft through hard work and practice, and such ventures have been lucrative indeed. I am comfortable for now, and such work is time consuming, though I fear truly restful sleep for the nightmares it brings.

I know one day, one of us will seek the other out, and we shall have to have a long talk about what I have seen. I await the day with solemn heart and mind, but in the meantime I wish you well in your current endeavors.

Your son,
Henry Spigglesworth
