IT BEGINS.

Fuck yeah

so there'll be plenty of THAT GUYS here to sacrifice to the dice gods, yes?

I approve.
Let's wreck some shit.

>>18760774
Okay, LG, a big argument broke out after you left last time.
Does NO MAJAIK mean:
1. Majaik use is restricted because it is not approved for this dimension.
2. Majaik will not work due to interference in this dimension.

>>18760774
First thing we need to know: mission objective.
What are we supposed to do here?

You inch forward in line.
Every step taking you closer to the large men in black foam bodyarmor guarding the gates.
In your head, you hear the voice of the dude.
'Okay man, here's the situation. This is INFINICON. The largest fucking convention you have ever set foot in. You are going in there, to find 3 operatives that have gone AWOL. Equipment and more information await you in the safehouse.'
The voice fades and you are once again moving in line.

A couple of people in front of Hina get stopped, the large foam-clad brute shoving them out of line.
"YOUR PASSES EXPIRED 3 YEARS AGO!" he told the men wearing pointy ears and red/grey body suits.
"We have been in this line for 5 years. It is only logical for 2 year passes to expire." The leader says in a calm voice.
The guard raises his cardboard and ducttape truncheon.

[ ]interfere
[ ]let it go
[ ]other?

>>18760966
[x]other
Make sure our own passes are in order.

Fortunately we have an extremely competent team this time around. poor Sagara.
>>18760966

[x]other, assist the guard.

>>18760966
Interfere, diplomatically.

These people have been in line for years, why don't you let them in on a probationary basis with a temp pass and let them make arrangements for getting more permanent ones at the earliest possible time.

>>18760844
Perhaps we'll have to go to the bottom levels of Infinicon, track down Nineball and defeat it on foot without majaik?

>>18760966
Other: Check what stuff you have on you.

>>18760966
Let it Go.
How they got stuck in line for 5 years is beyond me. Besides, we've got a mission and we can't waste our time mucking around with locals who clearly don't know how to use their time wisely.

>>18760994

Seconded

>>18760994
Sounds good, and probably won't get us in any sort of trouble.

>>18760966
>>18761057

Hey guys, let's drop by the TG and TSAB recruitment offices hidden here in Infinicon to see how they try to recruit people.

I bet they have canon characters there doing the recruiting.

>>18761130
How about no.
That'll be like the Indian Intelligence agents dropping by the CIA and KGB offices in Switzerland at the height of the Cold War.
We could do it, but it would be awkward as fuck.

>>18761145
Awkward as fuck, but hey, let's see things from another point of view.

Why not?

>>18761130
Wouldn't cause any real problems, and its only a simulation so theres no fear of ending up on anybodies radar, but its more than a bit off-mission.

>>18761145
It is a simulation but it still seems like something we aren't supposed to do. Avoiding undue attention and all that. It's not real but we might get points deducted for doing something like that and we have no clue if the simulation ones would want to help us.

>>18761057
changing my vote to
[x]Let it go
lets get to the safehouse asap.

>>18761130
I don't think that they would be there in a training mission projected by the dude

Or if they are it woud be pretty weird to work out

>>18761130
Were in a simulation, it'd be pointless.

>Other:
>check passes/stuff

It's not your style to leave someone in trouble, but you have the mission in mind first and foremost.
You check the passes hanging by a lanyard from your neck.
Multiple laminated IDs and passes are colelcted there,
One is a general infinicon gatepass, valid for 10 years.
Another is a worker's ID for a place called Sebastians Butler Cafe.
There's also a residence card for Little NeoTokyo 3 indicating your address to be Apartment 122, Ichigo Pavillion, Panty-shot Avenue.
Numerous other passes for buildings and conventions are also there.

You don't have your folio on you, so you check your pockets.
In your left pocket, a piece of carefully folded, well aged tissue.
Written on it, [To my greatest fan ___________, XoXo Hideaki Anno]

In your right pocket, are a dozen round chips.
They seem to have been cut out of older badges and IDs, stamped on each is a number in increments ranging from 1,5, 10 up to 100.

The line moves forward.
You look up to see the guard with his arm around the leader of that group of people with expired passes.
Several of those round chips exchange hands and the guard lets them through with a wave of his huge meaty hand.

Ahead of you, you see Hina present her pass for inspection. All seems in order.

>>18761216
> [To my greatest fan ___________, XoXo Hideaki Anno]

Gentlemen. We have a blank check in our hands

>>18761216
We should steel ourselves, this will be fucked right up.

>>18761216
Alright, check with everyone, see if our addresses all go to the same place. That'll be our safehouse.

Maybe we can snag a convention map after we enter, so that we can find our way around.

>>18761216
check to see if mentilating works, or if our devices are present in any way.

>>18761291
This.

Then, once we're all through, >>18761286
That.

>Captcha: and makwar
Let's wait until we run into the furries before we make war, Captcha.

>>18761323
Seconding this set of actions.

Maybe...

Maybe we should have handed out razor-wire skirts or stun-guns to the girls.

Groping can't be a fun experience when it's unwelcome.

On to business: Let's get some kind of map of the place, then split into teams of NO LESS THAN 3 EACH and begin the search. See if our devices can detect the other devices.

>>18761342
Considering there's only four of us, I don't think we'll be splitting up.

>>18761286
>>18761291
This

>>18761323
>Let's wait until we run into the furries before we make war

"Open war is upon you whether you would risk it or not."

Your group now rides one of the street trams that ply the city streets, around you, a landscape of neon lights and giant screens pass by like a rainbow colored tornado.

You ask Hina what her cover is after you show her you Butler Cafe ID.
"According to this, Im a student at St.Tomino's School for the Anime Arts." She says as she indicates a pink and purple ID hanging from her lanyard.
"How about you Gai?" You ask your friend in spandex and foam rubber.
He points to a badge shaped like a shuriken on his chest.
"ICE, Infinity City Enforcers. I seem to be an off-duty enforcer." He tells you though his helmet, its springy antennae bouncing erratically throughout the ride.
"And you Erica?"
"Just a regular tourist. I have a pass for some sort of weapons convention though."

The tram reaches your stop in Little NeoTokyo-3.
Your group disembarks amid an explosion of jpop and fake sakura petals raining down from above.

"KONEECHEWA." a girl in an ill-fitting kimono runs up to your group, her hair dyed a noxious shade of purple. "Care for some tea? Maybe some OWNEEGIRY?"

[ ]nope
[ ]sure

>>18761409
Doesn't mean we have to make the first move.

>>18761416
[x]nope
"Though we could use a map."
If asked why, point to our tourist friend.

>oh wow, I only jsut saw the tweets.
>and I jut noticed the chairman here.

Enjoy your stay good sir.
I hope I don't murderkill your setting too much

>>18761416
not sure, is it 'safe to drink the local water' so to speak?

>>18761416
Nope! To the room. I do not trust these people.

That or... no it couldn't be.
Are we noticeably asian? Like compared to anyone else in this area?

>>18761416
Nope, this woman scares me already.

Find a map and get to our base.

>>18761459
Yes and no.
You have asian features true. But other convention attendees, especially in this part of the city, have been known to have had extensive plastic surgery to better fit into their delusions.

>>18761416
[x]sure

>>18761489
Alright, just worried about impending rape.

>>18761489
like those creepy anime-eye contact lenses?
*shduder*

[x]nope

Probably isn't drugged, but I don't trust anything that comes out of a place that caters to furries.

We had best get on with our mission.

>>18761504
>Impending rape

Keep close to Hina.

>>18761524
Aren't the furries mostly limited to the Undercon?

>>18761544
that's what the 1d4chan page says. we shouldn't have to worry about them above ground.

>>18761536
Yes! She can protect us!
(I am actually serious about this.)

>nope
"I'm sorry, but we have something to do right now." You say as you step around her, "Maybe some other time."
Your group walks away quickly.
Behind you, you hear her call out, "We also have YUCKYSOWBUH!"
You herd your team inside the entrance to the building where your apartment should be.
-------------------------------------------------
The Ichigo Pavilion looked like a weirdly futuristic feudal Japanese structure on the outside.
It had rice paper windows in between steel plate walls and wooden crossbeams.
Inside, you find out that it was made from stacked shipping containers.

You find your room easily enough.
It's a 20x40 blue container with the name MAERSK still painted on the door.
Inside, you find 2 bunkbeds, a couple of wooden trunks, a small kitchen, a tiny bathroom/shower and a tiny window in the far end.

Your team sit down for a break on the bottom bunks.

WAT DO?
[ ]inspect room closer
[ ]ask for infodump

>>18761709
Inspect room closer.

Infodump can come after we know about our room, know it isn't bugged and are at lest a bit familiar with our digs.

>>18761709
Inspect the room and find out where our safe house is located, we need equipment

>>18761709
[x]inspect room closer
It's likely that this safehouse was used by the agents that went rogue.
We either find clues to where they went, or they might have left little 'gifts' for us.

>>18761709
[x]inspect room closer.
totally deadpan, "These living arrangements could be much, much worse."

>>18761784
How about the reverse?
"Wow. This is actually one of the nicer places I've lived in."

>>18761709
Paranoid says we search the room.

>>18761811
Excluding our new house, of course.

>>18761942
The ranking goes:
1) Bottled Swag Palace
2) IDPKB Dorms
3) The apartment we were in before Mike picked us up.

This is probably somewhere between 4 and 15 on the list, I would guess.

fried rice and smith and kerns, dinner of winners!

>>18761993
...
you drinking again tonight Fritz?

>>18762020
dude i drink almost every night.
It's a bit sad actually but i digress.

"Wow, this is actually a pretty nice place." you tell your team.
"How about we check out what it has to offer?"
You inspect the room.
Digging through the kitchen, you find a ton of instant ramen and not much else. No knives, no forks, no spoons.
Just a couple of pots and half a dozen red lacquer bowls.

You open the trunks. in one of them you find a couple of orange and yellow Nerf guns and the darts to go with them.
There is also a duct-tape and foam hatchet that seems heavier than it should be, and an airsoft pistol modeled after a Luger.
"DIBS!" Erica says as she spots the gun.
You hand it to her along with a bag of pellets.
She happily straps it into the empty holster she was wearing.
The other trunk contained some more costumes/clothes and what appears to be a chainmail bikini made out of pulltabs.

You check the beds out with Gai's help.
Inside the thin and musty mattresses you find a couple of lengths of lead pipe disguised with cardboard, a small penknife, a roll of aluminum foil and a dozen roadflares.
You also find a manila envelope inside one of the pillows.

In the bath, you lift the cover for the toilet's reservoir and find a plastic bag.
In it you find tubs of makeup and facepaint.

As you pool all the stuff you have found in the middle of the room, the Dude contacts you.

>>18762051
>Lead Pipes
>Face Paint
>Tab Bikini Mail
Sounds too much like my cousins birthday party.

>>18762051
Best safehouse ever.

'Okay kids. I see you've found some of the stuff we have for you. If you'd open theat envelop, you'd find the pictures and information of the agents you will be searching for.'
Gai upends the envelop sending documents and other papers falling on the bed.
'They disappeared a month ago. No contact with their devices, no detection of majaik use. If they were dead, their devices would have informed us as soon as the vital signs cut-out. We think they have been captured or possibly, they have gone native.'

'You still have your devices, they're disguised as one of the passes on your lanyard. Their majaik abilities have been cut-off and you will only be able to use them to communicate and other more basic functions like tapping into the local grid and passive scans of the surroundings.'
'You have three days to track down the operatives and find out their current situation.'
'Keep collateral damage and exposure minimal, fight only if needed.'
'You may contact me once a night at midnight.'
The connection dies off.

WAT DO?
[ ]check out those papers
[ ]have Kraus do _________

If this weren't a simulation, I'd suggest setting a port-key down somewhere so we could just get back to the Resort instead of sleeping here.

>>18762280
[x]check out those papers
Let's see what we're looking for.

>>18762280
Check the papers while kraus gives us a ping of everyone in there

>>18762280
[x]check out those papers
"When he says find their current situation, i assume he means locate them physically and determine why they're there doing whatever it is they're doing."

>>18762280
[x]check out those papers
Am i the only one getting an apocalypse now feeling from this?

>>18762280
Check the papers, get Kraus to download a map if he can.

>>18762349
as directed by the Coen Brothers, a little bit yeah. all that's missing is "Extreme Prejudice" and drug trips.

>>18762288
Portkeys dont work cross dimensions.
Maximum range of the ones you have is 10 km

>>18762280
Check those papers, we need to know who they are.

Shit I wish we had Keima with us, that'd make this easymode. You just get access to where everyone uploads the cosplay photos and the like and he can sift through that quickly and boom he finishes the mission. We'll have to footslog it some.

>>18762383
Indeed.

>>18762416
you know what that means right?
Marlon Brando is King of the Furries.

>>18762385
Wait... that sounds like this is an actual mission. I am afraid now.

>>18762443
Why can i actually picture that?

You look through the papers.
There's a map of the city.
It shows the division across sectors and fandoms, it also marks the approximate territory of certain gangs that prowl it.
Also indicated on the map are several entrances into the UnderCon.

There are schedules for mock battles, displays, panels, and conventions for allover the city.

And then there were the agent dosiers.

AGENT R
Team Leader.
Cover: Anime Archivist.
Fandom Cover: Harem and Moe
Last seen: MASS WAIFU WEDDING CEREMONY
Attached was a picture of a rotund man with a mohawk. He's wearing a black shirt with a random anime girl on it.

AGENT K
Team Medic
Cover: Dice salesman
Fandom Cover: Pen and Paper RPG
Last seen: Western Forest. Black Wolves teritory
A lanky man with curly hair. on his shoulders is a billowing purple cloak.

AGENT M
Team Scout
Cover: Freelance Painter
Fandom Cover: Western animation/ Comics
Last seen: Yo Joe bar, Metropolis
A short guy with glasses. Dressed in conservative jeans and shirt, a bulging backpack strapped to his frame.


WAT DO NAO?

>>18762632
Going after the scout is probably a good idea

>>18762632
Which of the "Covers" or "last seen" area is the closest.

Which ever is closest, we could check to see if that person was seen lately.


Also, could Gai use his Enforcer identity to look for security footage?

>>18762632
We should try the Yo Joe Bar first.
We can ask around for M, and Erica's status as a tourist might help alleviate the problem of both Hayate and Hina being identified with the Eastern Media factions.

>>18762632
Go after the scout, his last seen looks like the easiest to ask about his whereabouts.

We can explain being such an odd group in that we're a group of childhood friends who fell into different camps but value FRIENDSHIP over fandom.

>>18762632
Split up; send Erica and Hina off to look for short backpack guy, Gai to get security footage from wherever, and we can delve into KAWAII UGUU~ land.
Let's avoid the forest as much as possible, probably more likely to encounter furries there...

>>18762730
Agent R's Last location is closest being in the animu sector as well.
Agent M was in the western sector.
Agent K was in the LARP forest

>>18762764
Don't split the party

Figure I'll lurk your quest for a bit, Landing Gear.

The way I'm seeing this is that R will be the easiest to find, M the next easiest, and K will be the hardest due to indigenous forces and the sheer amount of territory you'd need to cover.

Perhaps start by getting ourself and one of the girls to go seeking out where the ceremony happened and mentioning we're interested in talking to one of the participants of the last one to help design a good harem anime concept to be made.. For lovers by lovers, and so on.

I'd suggest Hina since she's supposed to be in an arts school; which would give cover for seeking out someone (Agent R) for an interview of some sort and maybe a quick sketch session.

The other two, perhaps have them go start looking into Agent M's situation? Save Agent K for last, since that's gonna require a whole search team if he's INNA WOODS.

>>18762735
Well we are in a relatively generic suit, if we lose the bunny ears we can probably pass as some kind of reverse weaboo in the western media areas

>>18762764
Do not split the party, this is unfamiliar labyrinthine territory. At least not yet.

When we look for K we'll probably want to ask people if they've seen him. We put on some flowing cape and a boffer sword and ask if they know the location of this miscreant, he has brought dishonor to our clan and I must chase him down for the honor of King and Country!

>>18762839
This.

>>18762839
Agreed. We shouldn't split up on the first day in unfamiliar territory.

>>18762839
Agreed. Lots of people in a strange environment with unusual social standards = bad place to get lost. We need to stick together. Also, if the agents run, we can chase them down.

>>18762958
I also don't want one of the girls to walk past a alleyway and be grabbed by a fucking Furry.

I don't want it to happen to us either, but I think they'd take it slightly worse.

>no much consensus other than DONT SPLIT THE PARTY
Unsure on how to proceed further, you invite your team outside to see if you can find any clues on the errant agents.

Before you head out, you grab the nerf guns and inspect them. Theyre loaded with standard nerf darts that have been modified with sewing needles sticking out of them.
Gai grabs one of the disguised lead pipes and clinches it onto his belt.
Hina takes up her wood and foam sword and the pictures of the targets.
Erica inspects the chainmail bikini momentarily before putting it back down with a grimace.

After a short walk down the barely lit stairwell, you again find yourselves in the middle of the bustling street.
Attendees with hair of every color and description walk by you.
Giant cardboard swords gleaming in what little sunlight is able to penetrate the high buildings that corral you on either side.

That purple haired, kimono-clad girl from earlier approaches you again.
"Hey MEENA-SAN! Welcome back! Want to have some TSUH or SOOSHI? Maybe some SUHKII? I'm sure we have anything you'd want in our store."
She shoves a placard she now has in your face,
It says [DARKFIRETHUNDERNINJA CAFE, NOW SERVING YAKISOBA]
Under the English characters is a random string of kanji that reads, [CAR FISH SLUT TREE 15 HONESTY]

[ ]nope
[ ]sure
[ ]other?

>>18763040
[x]nope

>>18763040
[x]Sure. let's have some [15 HONESTY]

>>18763040
Sure, get a small bite to eat, try not to cringe at what they pass off as Yakisoba, ask about the con and see if she has seen anyone on our list.

>>18763040
>[CAR FISH SLUT TREE 15 HONESTY]
Lost it.

[x]sure
Maybe we can find some info in the cafe.
It's worth a shot.
Even if we couldn't we can still use the experience to acclimatize ourselves to the weird surroundings.

>>18763040
[x]sure
We've eaten worse, though rarely.
Ask if R has been seen around, have Hina show the photo.

>>18763040
That does seem like a good place to ask about the tam leader

He was last seen at a mass waifu wedding and aside from a maid cafe I think this is our next best bet

>>18763065
I would rather get some [SLUT].

>>18763040
[x] Sure
Let's try and swag her so we can interrogate her somewhere with more privacy.
But, uh, make sure it's temporary swag.

>>18763095
Man, we don't need any [SLUT]. We're nothing like that desperate.

>>18763040
[x]nope

But! Ask her if she's seen any of your friends (show photos?) about here recently. We checked out their place but they seemed to have stepped out. Does she know any of their hangouts in the area?

She seems to be in everyone's faces, so she's bound to know *something*. Maybe slip her a token or something if she proves to be... "ME NO REMEMBAH BAKA GAIJIN" I-know-shit-but-ain't-talkin'-till-I-make-bank.

>>18763095
We already have four.

We can ask around the shop owners to see if they know our guys.

Let's try to keep our money though. It's all simulated, we can just have Kraus whip it up if we really want to try.

Are we gonna be the dumbass the entire class laughs at for spending money on simulated food?

>>18763095
why have just a slut when you can have a [car fish slut]

Do we happen to have any Hats on us. Perhaps we could "snag" a new "familiar"

>>18763114
You did not just do that.

I mean, okay, Erica, MAYBE, but that's it.

>>18763114
>implying any of our girls are sluts

Well, Erica sort of is, but as long as she keeps it in the family it's ok.

I think that's really why she was so eager in the first place; she just wants to do everyone she can, and being with us gives her a convenient excuse. Love came after.

I'm surprised she hasn't gone and bought a strap-on at the RCS yet. Hina is gonna get a big surprise one morning.

>>18763132
We don't have the folio, so we don't have the Gaben of Hats. I don't think we'd want what there might be to "snag," here, either.

>>18763134
>>18763141
>Erica
>slut
Oh boy here we go.

>>18763177
She walked up to us after meeting us for a day and asked where we wanted to fuck.

Likely because her homeworld's rules of NO MEN ALLOWED for witches, but still. Jumping the first magical man you find...

All's well that ends well I suppose.

>>18763196
To be fair, Hayate's kinda slutty too. He fucked the first person who responded to his sausage innuendo as soon as possible. That and I think he's had sex with just about exactly as many people as Erica since then.

>>18763196
I didn't see anyone else hosting a barbeque and dropping sausage jokes that day.

to be fair she met shiro at the same time

>>18763196
And she was pretty forward about it to begin with

>>18763229
Fighter Pilots bro.

>>18763241
Fighter ace

>>18763254
Ace of Aces, at that.

>>18763254
Is a subset of Pilot, and Pilot is the one that particularly matters, here.

>>18763273
But ace is to fighter pilot what fighter pilot is to regular pilot what regular pilot is to non-pilot.

'What do you guys think?' you ask them mentally
'Sure. We could ask around in there.' Hina tells you
'Agreed.'
'Meh. Might as well.'

"Sure. We'd love to." You tell her.
She leads you though the throng of multicolored attendees and down a decently maintained side street.
She opens a door and ushers you inside a small yet decent enough cafe.

Covering the walls are a myriad of anime and game posters from years gone by.
The kitchen is hidden from view by a ricepaper screen.
Other customers are there wearing costumes or just regular clothing, they're eating off paper plates using cheap bamboo chopsticks.

The kimono girl sits your group down at a small table in the corner and takes out a notepad.
"So what can I get you?" she asks as she points to the large menu dominating one of the walls.
"We'll just have four yakisobas and some tea. Thanks." you tell her.
"Sure, four YUCKYSOWBUHS. I'll have your order right out in a jiffy. I'm Narutugal1256 by the way."
She finishes with a wink in your direction before she heads off into the kitchen.

>>18763336
>--[x]never ever reciprocate Narutugal1256's (probably) hideous affections
This is a goddamn given, but we still have to be curteous, of course. We just hope she doesn't take it the wrong way.

>>18763355
>>18763355

I had a terrible feeling using the 'sorry ladies, i'm gay' card would have horrible, horrible consequences.

>>18763355
I speak from experience when I say that any natural human courtesy toward that kind of person will be taken the wrong way.

>>18763412
That would just summon a horde of yaoi fan girls. Truly a fate worse than death

>>18763413
Well, yeah, but we can still hope.

>>18763412
Probably worse that taking her up on it. At least, from her.

>>18763432
maybe we can say we've been castrated?

>>18763449
Eunuch, eh? Worth a shot.

>>18763449
We would have a tone of voice rivaling that of nails on a chalkboard.

>>18763449
Just try to avoid drawing any attention to ourselves at all.

In this environment, any excuse or personal information we provide is likely to be the fetish of someone within earshot.

Why not just let the girls handle communication to Narutugal1256?

>>18763459
Not if it was a... more recent development.

Your team discretely look around to observe the natives.

In one table a pair of acne ridden guys are bent low and talking to each other over what appears to be a stack of magazines and manga.
You hear snippets of their conversation.
"M----Tan's so kawai."
"No. Hi--kun's cuter.."

In another table, a small crowd of about half a dozen have gathered around a pair playing what seems to be some sort of cardgame.
"ORE NO TARN!"
The guy wearing with announces as he slams a card onto the table with enough force to almost upend it.

Further away, a pair of girls wearing maid uniforms smoke quietly and drink beers. Streaked makeup on their faces and tired frowns on their lips.

You are unsure if you'll get any information out of any of these people, so you just sit and quietly observe for now.

A few minutes later, your waitress comes out with four plates of Yakisoba and a pot of tea.
"Here's your order, OKYAKOOSAHN!"
She says cheerfully as she sets the dishes down on the table.
Your group spends a few moments jsut staring at the fried noodles heaped onto the four paper plates.
Oil glistens under the florescent lights as it begins to cool.
"Are'nt you going to eat it?" Your waitress asks "I assure you that's its TOTTEMO delicious."

After exchanging looks with Erica and Hina, you pick up some chopsticks and prepare to try it.

**ROLL FOR NOT GETTING FOOD POISONING**

rolled 66 = 66

>>18763471

>>18763471
How in the fuck do you ruin Yakisoba, it's fried noodles, do you have any idea how hard it is not to make that taste pretty damn good?

>>18763543

>>18763532
You mean high 60's and a 93? We have rolled quite well for this

>>18763512
It's not just in the food. It's in the AIR.

All those people packed into that space...so many of them having foolishly consumed the god awful con food, farting constantly as a result.

I'll tell you this, the sweat is only half the reason it's so humid. The other half is all the farting. Thousands upon thousands of disgusting, sick, sweating people just farting all that bacteria into that dense fog you're forced to breathe in.

Nurgle attends every Con, whether you know it or not. His embrace secretly permeating EVERYTHING. Frankly, it's a miracle you only got the shits.

>>18763491
It's like fucking Ramen! How can you ruin noodles!

rolled 59 = 59

>>18763546

>>18763572
Nobody's that dumb. . .

Doh.

rolled 92 = 92

>>18763577
Man, don't let that dissuade you. I can honestly tell you I avoided the Pox last year. Most years, in fact.

>>18763561
Much easier than you woud expect

rolled 87 = 87

is it strange that i want to go to one of these, and yet burn one down at the same time?

>>18763577

>>18763481
>>18763481
You bring a bunch of the stuff to your mouth...
Its... Decent.
Certainly not great, but it's not bad either.
It's pretty much what you'd expect from a cheap festival stall back in japan.

You give the others the go ahead to eat.
"Soooo... Did you like it?" 1256 asks.
"It's good." you tell her.
"SUGOI!" She says excitedly. "If you need anything I'll just be by the door."

She heads to the door and leaves your group to it's own devices

WAT DO?

>>18763627
Yeah, don't do that. You never know when a cat is waiting to apply claws to your person.

>>18763577
Get a full face gasmask rated for biological protection with new filters and call it a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. cosplay.

>>18763592

Udz do you go to Prime or East?

>>18763649
Prime, I can't afford to travel to the east coast. Hell, I can't really afford to cross the lake to Seattle, but that's far less expensive.

>>18763642
You know i actually happen to have full nbc gear...

>>18763654
How much does it cost? i live near Seattle.

We should pluck Bear Grylls or a SERE school from some dimension...

>>18763639
Are we still wearing the bunny ears? If so, give them to Hina.
Then check out those maids. Are they employees or something?

>>18763676
Nah they are off duty I think

>>18763668
The three day reg was $60 last year, plus hotel & food, of course.

>>18763639
Talk to the bunny maids in the corner. Be polite and charming and non-pervy, the opposite of their customers. See if they know anything about R.

Talk to neckbeards with magazines. Ask about Agent R.
They're waifu fags. They might have seen him

>>18763705
Thats not bad

>AGENT K
Just ask someone if they saw Tommy Lee Jones.

HEY GUYS I WAS LOOKING FOR KILL FURRY GAMES AND CAME UP WITH THIS!
http://www.furaffinity.net/

"Im gonna ask around for some info. Maybe you guys can do the same." You tell your team.

Hina volunteers to ask the two guys with the magazines.
Gai nods towards the crowd with the cardgames.
Erica says she'll ask the waitress.

You approach the maids.
"Hello there." You say as you approach, "I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you two, but I have some questions I'd like to ask."
The two of them set down their beers and look at you.
The slightly attractive, younger one regards you with a cold stare.
The older, more haggard one pulls out another cigarette and says.
"Whaddya want?"

WAT ASK?

rolled 76 = 76

>>18763798
Time to turn up the SWAG.

>>18763798
I am trying to find my friend, I haven't seen him in a while and I am worried about him, I was hoping you might recognize him

Show them the picture

>>18763798
I'm looking for an acquaintance of mine, by acquaintance I mean someone I know and who owes me money. I was wondering if you had seem him, pass over a photo of K with a bit of cash underneath it.

These don't seem like the sort to have accumulated overly friendly feelings for their clientele so making it not a friend might make it go over better.

>>18763828
no
>>18763829
yes

>>18763798
Swag to 50% power, ask if they have seen any of them.

>>18763843
I like that, but let's make it comletely overt.
"This guy owes me money. Have you seen him?"
And maybe ask about the maid thing, are they employed at a maid cafe or something? Bring up the butler thing.

"These guys owe me money. Have you seen them?"
you pull out your photos of the three agents.
The one with the cigarette looks them over carefully,
and shows them to her younger companion.
They talk in whispers as you wait.
"You." The older one turns back to you. "You work at Sebastian's right?"
"Yes." You answer even if you haven't actually been there before.
"You're a rival establishment, frankly I'm surprised you were even brave enough to approach us.'
You see something metal glimmer under the skirt of the quiet one, as the older one grabs a bottle off the table.
"We might know something about what you're asking, but" SHe taps the bottle agains the table "What's in it for us?"

Behind you, the two guys with magazines hurriedly run out of the door.

WAT SAY?
**Also roll for diplomacy**

>Behind you, the two guys with magazines hurriedly run out of the door.
Hina was with them...

Pull out one of the coins we have in our pocket as bribe

I'll make sure they don't try it again at any of the establishments. Next thing you know, they could skip out at your place.

rolled 34 = 34

Why do i have the feeling we are about to be shanked to death prison style by a couple of maids?

"I'll give you a percentage of the cash I get back. And as a down-payment..."
Give them some of of those chips we have

>>18763998
And we have a winner.

rolled 37 = 37

>>18763962
A girl just talked to them. They panicked.

>>18763944
Put our hands out, entreating them to not do anything rash.
"I pray you'll forgive me, ladies, I'm somewhat new to the city, is there a rivalry between our establishments I should be aware of? I wish for no discord, just to find my 'friends."
As we shift our hands, drop some coin from sleeves on the table, whatever seems appropriate.

rolled 45 = 45

>>18764003

>>18763998
I like it!

rolled 33 = 33

>>18763990
That's actually quite good.

>>18763998
You pull out a couple of 100 chips from your pocket.
"Here's some down payment. And there will be more where that came from once I get my money."
The older lady picks them up and hands one to her companion, she also lets the bottle go.
"Okay then. Nyandi here last saw that guy about a month ago. She says he was acting normally and stayed at our cafe for an hour or so." she points at the picture of R.
"Anything else?" You ask.
"He was talking to man in a red and black hooded robe." The one called Nyandi says as she pockets the chip she's been handed, "They played chess, ordered some coffee. That was it."
"Thank you for the information ladies. I'll leave you to your own devices now." You tell them with a bow.
"Hey." The one with the cigarette stops you. "Just a word of advice, never approach a maid while wearing a butler suit again. Wars have been started over smaller things before."

You walk away and back to your table.
"So guys, find out anything?" You ask your team.

**ROLL FOR INFO MINING**

I thought Maids and Butlers would have gotten along. Hopefully the rest of the group got something.

We're going to want to keep our eyes and ears open for mysterious black and red hooded robed fucks. 10 guptas say they were involved with all the Agents who disappeared.

I think our team did better than we did

"Those people knew nothing." Gai says as he nods towards the cardgamers. "They said they are just a bunch of -noobs- that have only been in the city for a week."
"The waitress also knows nothing. But she says the owner might now something." Erica tells you as she piles yakisoba down her gullet.
"The two men ran off as I tried to talk to them." HIna informs you. "They did leave this behind though."
She hands you a cheap flier.
Under a picture of a distorted anime girl with orange hair and large green eyes, the words WAIFU WARS are printed.

You read the rest of it.
[SOMEONE TALKING SHIT ABOUT YOUR WAIFU?]
[WANT TO PROVE THAT YOUR ONE AND ONLY RABU IS NOT A SLUT?]
[COME DOWN TO THE WAIFU WARS.]
[PROVE YOUR LOVE AND DEVOTION THROUGH VIOLENCE AND PAIN.]
Underneath it was a small map indicating the venue.

WAT DO?
[ ]talk to manager
[ ]check out waifu wars

OH GOD IT'S OUR ONE WEAKNESS

>>18764213
Check with the Manager first, we're already here, we'll hit up Waifu Wars later.

Hah, thought so.

[x]Manager

>>18764238
Go away, dice, I don't want you anymore.

[x] WAIFU WARS
R might be there.

If the maids were reluctant to talk to us, the manager will positively go ballistic.

Guys I just thought of something.

It's less likely that Hayate will be fighting for his Waifus.

It's way more likely that his Waifus will be fighting for him.

"Erica's a slut!"
"Yeah, sorta. I love her that way though, we get to make all sorts of naughty puns."

"Hayate's a slut!"
"I WILL SHOVE SASHA UP YOUR ASS AND PULL THE TRIGGER"

>>18764255
Well thought. We go alone.

>>18764265
If only that didn't require splitting the party.

>>18764213
Talk to the manager.
Check out Waifu Wars later

>>18764255
This is a grey area. People with many waifus are both reviled ('NTR! GET HIM!') and admired ('harem! Lucky bastard!')

Can't risk it. A neckbeard stampede is dangerous.

>talk to the manager
You call over your waitress again.
"You said we can talk to the manager?" you ask her.
"Sure. Go ahead into the kitchen. I'll tidy up here."
You do as she says and let yourselves into the well kept kitchen.
At a stove, with his back to you, was an old caucasian man.
"Uhh Sir, if you have some time, We'd like to ask a few questions."
He turns around and faces you.
Around his forehead is a white belt with a red sun on it and the word PERFUME written underneath.
The glasses over his eyes sparkle in the fires of the stoves.
"I know you have some questions. I have been watching you since you came in." He tells you as he sits himself down on a nearby bench, the dish he's cooking left to burn in the wok.
"I am Raymond-san. One of the few old-fags left. I came to this city a bright and happy 19 year old decades ago. Here I danced, laughed, fell in love and cried. I know a lot of things, strange things, some things I wish I didnt know."
he begins an unwanted monologue.
"I can see through the makeup and prosthesis. I see people for who they really are. You are new to the city. That is certain. Your friend has a lead pipe under that cardboard tube at his belt. You have a pair of plastic guns under your jacket. These I saw as you entered my store."
He pulls out a cigarette, not exactly the best thing to do when cooking, and continues.
"Before I let you ask your question, I want you to answer mine. You are Japanese, am I correct?"

[ ]yes
[ ]no
[ ]why do you ask?

>>18764383
>why do you ask?

Anyone else notice the Japanophilia and Oracle stories on the InfiniCon Lore page? They seem to relate to us.

>>18764383
Why do you ask?

He already knows what we are, his reasoning behind the question is the important part.

>>18764383
"Well, if you can see so many things, yes. Why do you ask?"

"Why do you ask?" you say to him.
"Oh no reason. I only ask to confirm if you are worthy." he answers you
"Worthy of what?"
""You will find out if you answer me first."
"Yes. I am Japanese. I was born and raised in Japan."
"I knew it. Noone cringes subconsciously over my waitresses intentional bad diction like a real Japanese person does. Noone handles chopsticks like an authentic Nipponjin does."
He gets up off his bench and says, "Follow me. We must discuss things in a safer place."
He heads over to one of the large refrigerators and opens it.
Inside you see a dimly lit tunnel going through the wall and beyond.

[ ]follow him
[ ]nope


>>18764417
I wrote those.

>>18764501
[x]follow him

And with that, I'm out. Good luck, folks.

>>18764501
Follow him, he's got deep plots going on and is a clever sod, he could be useful.

>>18764526
Pansy

You follow him into the tunnel.
Dim flickering lightbulbs light your passage as you go deeper and deeper into this secret passage.
'I don't like this' Hina tells you.
'We'll be okay.' you reply 'I hope.'

After numerous corners and climbing up a set of stairs, the old man pushes open a heavy wooden door.
"We're here." He tells you as he leads you across the threshold.

You find yourself in a warehouse.
Wooden crates are piled up high, some of them opened and emptied of their contents.
A crowd of about a hundred or so people watch you expectantly.
"These are the downtrodden. These are the unfortunate. These are those that are looked down upon for not swearing their loyalty to only just one franchise." He says as he motions over the mob wearing various costumes and clothing.
"These are your people."

He climbs a crate and has you do the same.
He begins addressing the crowd.
"PEOPLE OF RAMEN-GUMI. FOR A LONG TIME WE HAVE SEARCHED FOR A NEW LEADER. FOR A LONG TIME WE HAVE LOOKED FOR A NEW FIGUREHEAD. WELL, WE HAVE NOW FOUND HIM."
He motions for you to step forwards.
"I PRESENT TO YOU YOUR NEW SHOGUN!"

Row by row, the mass of humanity begins to kneel before you.
Cardboard and foam begin creasing as those gathered genuflect.
"W-wait, wha-." you ask them
"Shogun-sama!" the leader cries out, his eyes not daring to meet yours.
"Shogun-sama! Shogun-sama! Shogun-sama! Shogun-sama!" The crowd mimics.
"What is this?" you ask.
"You have in you the blood of kings." the leader tells you, His chef's clothes rustling as he bows deeper.
"We will follow your every whim! allow us to serve you!"

'I don't know if this mission just got easier, or it just got way harder.' you mentillate Erica.
'Heh.' she grins, 'You've done it now.'

>>18764782
So we got ourselves a weeaboo gang to lord over?
Cool. Use them as cannonfodder.

>>18764782

Gentlemen, I present to you our escape plan if shit hits the fan.

All we need to do is order them to riot and then run like hell.

>>18764782
Have them do the carameldansen to amuse us.

Order them to get the runaway agents here.

>>18764782
Excellent, we've got goons. They can blend in where we need them, they can obtain information for us, cover our tracks and be our eyes, ears and hands within the city.

We might be able to do much of this mission sitting on a comfy chair ordering people around.

No NO!

WE MUST USE THEM EFFECTIVELY! WE SHALL EMULATE THE YAKUZA AND TAKE CONTROL OF THIS CITY!

>>18764811
No no. Too chaotic.
Have them do the haruhi dance as distraction/meatshields.

>>18764782
Ask if any of them have seen the people we're looking for. The more recent the better.

And about that hooded dude.

We have eyes and ears among the natives now.. USE THEM WISELY.


..Weeaboo I know, but perhaps some spoken Japanese to wow the natives may be in order.

A hundred troops?
Doesnt sound like much.
Even if they had like the same amount in the field, that doesnt seem like much still.

Inb4 GACKT army attacks.

So we don't have majaik, but we have a small army now under our command.
How do we use them?
