>Previous Threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Summoned%20Hero%20QuestLast time on SUMMONED HERO'S QUEST, you beat the shit out of the Captain of the Knight's, got some nifty information on Adfor, the Moonknight who once trained Drei, said Captain of Knights. You left Cadencia a message and set off on your TRAINING ARC.----------------------It's only been a day since I made my way through Vernegard forest and to the Bast Swamp Village. They're kind, they warm up to you, and there are even human people with animal features here. You don't think 'too' much of it and the implications. It still makes you cringe, however. You knock on Adfor's front door, he doesn't answer you."Hey, Adfor, you around?" you knock on the door again. Still no response."Guh. Hey, are you in there, hello?" knock knock. Was this fucker deaf?"WHAT?" a man, tall with grey hair. An aged face. He was a cranky codger, wasn't he? "What is it, what do you want?" his eyes were staring straight through you.You take a few steps back. "Uh...">What to say?
>>20275975"Grandma, what big teeth you have!"
Say nothing. grin, crouch, and try a rising uppercut on his chin.
rolled 34 = 34>>20276014forgot to roll, sorry.
You had to think on your toes. Incredibly fast, your mind races. Solution: Reached. You smile, bend down and throw your fist into the air. The target was the old man's chin. You don't even get the chance to get close. Adfor the Moonknight grips your hand, clenches it in his larger one. He cracks your hand and in an instant, you're on your back. Wait, what just happened? Adfor spits on the ground nearby. "Tch, you're a pathetic sack of shit, aren't you boy?" "Kind of." "Who sent you, that pathetic king?""No, Drei of the Knights sent me. I came to get some training but..." "You certainly know how to greet someone." Adfor says with a hardy laugh. "Hm... I would, but I have my wife to take care of. She's sick, you see..." you stop for a moment and then feel like an idiot.>Oh, I'm sorry for bothering you then.>What's wrong with her? I'm a Guardian, maybe I can help!>I'll help you take care of her. It's always best to have two people, isn't it?>What to do?
>>20276072[x]I'll help you take care of her. It's always best to have two people, isn't it? and if we manage to have some spare time, maybe you can show me some trick...
>>20276148This.
"I'll help you take care of her. It's always best to have two people, isn't it? If we manage to have some spare time, though, maybe you can show me some tricks?" your suggestion is honest. You have no intent to harm him, his wife, or anything. IF the man has any doubts, you were ready to shed some light on them. However, the unexpected occurs. Adfor nods, smiles and extends his hand out to you."Uh.. you're serious?""I've trained plenty of kids in my time, you're not different... you said you'd help, however. That involves 'everything'. Are you ready for that?""Uh..." he just met you, and he was going to put you to work.>Yes>No>What to do?Can I do a two week timeskip because writing the ENTIRE training arc is going to take up too much time.
>>20276213Supposed to be 7. Made a typo.
>>20276213>>20276213"...yes, I guess." lets just hope we're not going to help changing diapers to the granny...as you please dude. also, seems that most people is missing; if you want to stanby and wait until later, its okay for me.
>>20276213Yes and yes OP.
>>20276213Sure. Always timeskips in training arcs. Also YES."Well, if i want something i gotta work for it. Keep in mind that i may be needed to kick some remnant heads in if another one shows up. Otherwise i will help you full time."
"Well if I want something I gotta work for it." you sigh in dejection. You're about to scratch the back of your head with your hand, but you stop it halfway. That was a habit that really had to stop. You couldn't be too predictable like that. Keep in mind though I may be needed to kick some Remnant heads if another shows up, otherwise I'll help you fulltime!" you should have specified until your training ends..."Hahaha! I appreciate it. It's sudden, but come on in, I'll introduce you to the wife!" you nod before walking into the house of Adfor. You go in with high hopes, a toned body and an open mind. This was going to be quite the experience!...
"Hmmmm..." the heat got to you. You stand there at a bus stop, your eyes closed, trying to dream a wonderful dream. The stress of the day often gets to you, so this was your way of coping with it. A wonderful dream. "Ahh, I should really get going." you pull your hair out of your eyes and think of going home.Your brother was gone, he's been gone for a couple of days now. "****, where are you?" you say his name so you don't forget it. "I don't believe that you're dead, I don't wnat to but-"Ring. Ring. Ring."Uh..." the phone starts to ring.>Answer it>Let it ring and get going>What to do?
>>20276423Answer it: "Hello?"
>>20276423Answer it
You grab the phone, press the 'Answer' notification button and hold it to your ear. "Hello, Candice Irving here! Can I help you?" you smile, but they obviously can't see it."Candice it's... your brother, Mark." that's right, it wasn't him... no, it wasn't. Your hopes were dashed the instant he said his name."Oh, hi Mark, what's up? Have you found out anything?" Mark was a police officer that works around Edgefield, your hometown. He should be at the scene where that building burned down a few days ago."We haven't found his body.""I see..." you try and hide your excitement. That means he could be alive! How many people that you were crazy? "That means he can still be alive, right?""I... suppose." there wasn't any hope behind that voice.>You should be more optimistic, you know?>You really think he's dead, huh?>What to do?
>>20276502>You should be more optimistic, you know?Also i wouldve preferred not knowing what had happened to us before we got summoned. But, well, your quest.
>>20276502>You should be more optimistic, you know?If there's no body, maybe someone else found him.
>>20276502>>You should be more optimistic, you know?
"You should be more optimistic, you know?" you say with a giggle. Mark sighs on the other line. "You're weird, you know that?" "Guess I am. Why don't I care that my boyfriend is alive?""I thought you were concerned about Lu-""Nooope. Not really. He wasn't even in the building at the time. He's never one to go to the complex anyway." you laugh to yourself again. Wow, apathy was your middle name."You're taking this... well.""I go with the punches, that's all. He can still be alive, as you said, right? So nothing to worry about! Alright, bye." you close the phone, put it away, and look to the sky. "Now maybe I should start looking for you, ****."Both your lover and brother vanished around the same time. The former's body can't be found and the latter is just plain gone. Both... maybe they could be linked? "Nah...">Go home>Go to the mall>Go to the pier>What to do?
>>20276587Do we know what **** was doing the night he disappeared? Did he have a gf or something? Hard to think of other options at this point.
>>20276587Do we know of any of our brother's old haunts?We can try checking around there.
Cute little sisters, yay.
>>20276677inb4sisterloves****
>>20276684HERESYWincest
>>20276587Tonight we are the little girl.Oh and i vote for these>>20276607>>20276646
I don't like where this is going Darnpierre.
>>20276853Why?
You cycle through your own thoughts. Where did your brother like to hang out? ... No, you didn't keep track of him, listen to him talk. You only got him up for school. "Errr..." you still know nothing.Why did you want to find him so badly, though?"Aghh." you shake your head from left to right. You don't know where he was, he wasn't in a relationship. He was just THAT socially awkward. "Mmm.. I better get moving then." you sit up from the wall and walk forward, returning home....
>>20276870I fear the coming of fetishy posts and it was better the fantasy world only thing Deerknell.don't sage plis
>>20276870I like this part and think it was an interesting way to go. Especialy since our hero has expressed such interest in getting back to "his" world.
>>20276908As long as we don't spend toooo long in the other world, I think it's fine.
>>20276893Maybe ask around the house about where our bro used to hang.Or check his computer for any clues?
Two weeks pass. You learn that Adfor's wife, Anne, suffers from a sickness which impedes mental development or so it seems. She can hardly get her words out, as if she's struggling. She can hardly eat and do... 'activities'. It's a sad sight, really, but you get through it. You can hardly look her in the eye. Her weak state, her shaking body, you really wish you could do something about it. Adfor's training, on the other hand, was hard. He didn't teach you magic, he taught you how to manipulate the Starheaven to do your bidding. You were a Guardian, and Drei wasn't. Adfor points out that you're not cut-out for magic, really, you're not. You don't have the mental capacity to memorize all of those spells, so he just told you to 'wing it' so to speak. Think of an image in your head (ex. a beam, a ball, a sword) and create that with your mind, project it into the outer world. You train doing that for the first week, the next is sword technique. That came naturally...Now, with the last few days of your 'training', you stand there at the entrance of Adfor's house. The Moonknight smiles, leaning against the door. "Really going?">Yes>No>What to do?
>>20276928I'm not saying that this is objectively bad just stating my opinion Ananomynous.
>>20276928I personally think it would have been better to leave what happened to us before our summoning unknown.
>>20276955Yes. Another Remnant is due to arrive, so we need to meet up with Candencia.
>>20276955"I guess. I think i need to find out whats happening in the capital. I've kinda been out of loop the last two weeks."
"I guess. I think I need to find out what's happening in the capital. I've been out of the loop for two weeks and left with a letter." you shrug. No one came to get you and Cadencia has said nothing either. Things must be pretty peaceful without anyone coming to get you. "Alright, you're welcome to come back any time, Jermiah.""That's not my name.""I know, but what kind of name is Anon?""What kind of name is Adfor?""Point taken! See you around, boy." Adfor laughs as we waves you off. You nod to him, turn around and walk on the path that leads through the Bast village. A couple minutes pass, and Adfor's house vanishes into obscurity as you continue on your walk. You pass through the village, and some other people wave to you. "HEY!" a familiar voice, male. You remember it faintly, but...>Ignore it and keep going >Turn to see who it is>What to do?
>Turn to see who it is
>>20277047>Turn to see who it isMay as well, if it's familiar.
>>20277047Official-Bear-Drinking-Buddy™
You turn to face the familiar face. You recognize the grizzly bear's hat, the goggles that have no point being on his head. That vest. It was Albert the Historian... scholar, whatever. "BOY, I was wondering where you've been!" Albert smacks you in the back."Agh.. okay, clothes are new, stop." you warn Albert before he takes the greeting even further. You had nice white pants, some brown boots. A long sword sheathed at your side, a white cape. It was pretty awesome, you had to admit. "Alright, what is it, Albert?""I tried bugging your summoner but she wouldn't tell me where you were!""I told you about my Summoner?""Wasn't that hard, did some digging, anyway I found some Lunarian stuff...! Or rather, a thing!""WAIt, what, WHERE!?""THE UNDERWORLD! There's an entire GODDAMN TEMPLE OR.. something, I have NO CLUE WHAT IT IS!" "AWESOME!"You both brofist.>Go with Albert to see what it is>No, no, you have to go to Cadencia>What to do?
>>20277111Lets quickly stop by Cadencia, she would probably like to know we're done training.Ask if she would like to join on adventures in The Underworld.
>>20277111We can't go just yet, we need to check in with Cadencia first. But if everything is fine, and there's no Remnants on the way, we should take this opportunity to examine this find.
>>20277111"Albert grab my Starheaven!"ALCOHOLIC UNDERGROUND ADVENTURE!
>>20277047>JermiahI like that name.>>20277111>No, no, you have to go to Cadencia
ADVENTURE
"Albert, follow me to Cadencia's place. If everything checks out, we're going to go to the Underworld and check those ruins out. That alright?" you say with a smile. Albert ponders for a moment before responding."Alright, well I kind of have company with me but if you don't mind..." wait, company?"HIYO!" out of nowhere, a girl with animals ears pops up from behind the grizzly bear. Was she a bunny? You sigh. How cliche. "SO where we going Albert?""Uh.. to Vernegard.""That place stinks. Let's go to Sarigarn. They've got talking dragons and stuff!" "T-that's an hour away even by Atlaseer.""DON'T CARE!"This girl was already annoying.>Ignore her, keep going>Tell her to cram it>What to do?
>>20277247"Hello there, I'm Anon the Nameless, what is your name?"
>>20277247"Albert, rabbit ears means that she's legitimately completely edible, or just the ears are?"
>>20277247That's a damn nice pic.
>>20277247"You shouldn't complain so much. It's not like we are gonna stay there for the next week. What's your name anyways?"
"You shouldn't complain so much. It's not like we are gonna stay there for the next week. Oh, I'm Anon the Nameless, what is your name?" you place a hand on your hip. Wait, wait, those were fox ears. Blonde hair that expands down her waste, a pink kimono. A kimono meant that-"MY NAME IS BURNSTEALT LORELAI, but you may call me your GOD! Hahahahaha!" she laughs maniacally while pushing Albert forward. "EAT HIM, MY SERVANT.""No.""... How boring." she pouts. "Well, I know you're a Guardian and your name isn't Anon. It's more like pig. Or Ant. Or maybe even Shit-face!" She had a way with words...>Ignore her and keep going, talk to Albert>Respond with force>What to do?
>>20277360Sticks 'n stones may brake our bones, but words will hurt forever.Let's ignore her anyways.
>Respond with forceWe are socially awkward."What was that you little shit? Stop making fun of my name dammit. Yours is ridiculous, too. Burnstealt sounds like some sort of cookiecutter and Lorelai is the name of a goddamn cliff back where i come from!">That awkward moment when you get in fights with little girls
>>20277424With force i mean verbal force, of course. no reason to hit a little girl.
>>20277424This sounds more fun and IC.
>>20277360GOOD LORD SHE SOUNDS LIKE FUCKING HARUHIRUN RUN WHILE YOU CAN
"What was that you little shit? Stop making fun of my name, dammit! Yours is ridiculous, too! Burnstealt sounds like some sort of cookiecutter and Lorelai is the name of a goddamn cliff back where I come from!" your anger reaches its peak. It boils over and you unleash a verbal assault. Burnstealt just grins, Albert looks away."HOHOHO! You have a spine! Albert, you know how to pick them!""Uh...huh.""Kiss my ass, ANON-CHAN!""WHY YOU LITT-" WAIT, she just used honorifics. Wait, what? Japanese? "WAIT, that was Japanese.. really BAD JAPANESE but still Japanese.""Are you making fun of me?""NO, WOULDN'T THINK OF IT CUNTASSFUCK-TAN." you grin to yourself, but you ignore that for a moment. That was... yeah, there are more clues. That kimono is one. Where was this girl from?>Antagonize her some more>Keep going to Vernegard>Kick her in the butt>What to do?
>>20277521Go to Cadencia first. She hasn't seen us in 2 weeks and she at least deserves to know where we are going.
>>20277521The first guardian was a jap, right?Probably had some sort of cultural impact.Lets get back to business and head over to Vernegard.
>>20277553>>20277562We can do that while antagonizing the bunnygirl.
>>20277582Walk WHILE talking?Are you sure it can be done?
>>20277582Foxgirl. And we should just tease her with how small she is.
>>20277521Kick her in the butt
While ignoring the fox Burnstealt, you continue to walk on with Albert following behind you. The fox wouldn't shut up for the first five minutes, but eventually she ceased, realizing that it was pointless to antagonize you while you were focused on a goal. Minutes pass, then about an hour. Finally you reach the city of Vernegard. "Huff.. I'll be right back, you two stay here." you knock on Cadencia's door.You hear footsteps, the door opens up and... it's Drei, the Captain of the Knights. "Oh, hey there Anon! How did training go with Adfor?""It went great, he's a really nice guy! Where's Cadencia?""Oh, she's getting dressed!" Drei looks back through the door with a smile. "You two... didn't, did you?"Drei nods once, but feigns it in his speech "M-maybe? I don't know what you're talking about.""Whoreeee." Burnstealt puts her two cents in.>"Oh, awesome, I'm happy for you two!">Say nothing, wait>What to do?
>>20277609Definitely.Constant teasing/mocking, but not anything physical aside from keeping her at an armslength if she jumps us.
>>20277521>Antagonize her some morelet's try to spill her some information while insulting.surprise me op.
>>20277521Keep going to Vernangard. And we're trying to be less socially awkward. It's been two weeks since we had our memories scrambled; let's start acting it.
>>20277634Say nothing, smile like an idiot.
>>20277634>Oh, awesome, I'm happy for you two!THISGRAB HIS HAND AND SHAKE IT WITH 2 HANDS"You have my blessing!"
>>20277634"So, nothing on any new Remnants? I was hoping to go down to the Underworld."
>>20277652Dude? Didn't you read the posts about our sister? We were already socially awkward in our homeworld, enough to not have a girlfriend.There was no teleportation sickness. We were always retarded.
>>20277683SECONDING AS HELL, its gonna be hilarious in any case!
>>20277634"shut the fuck up, you annoying mountain goat anus mouthed midget sized bag of fleas, desu"
>>20277691Yeah, we were. But we're no longer in a place where we can get away with being like that. We need to be able to interact with people, and we even stayed with a complete stranger for two weeks.
>>20277722We are able to interact with people. We can do that and be awkward at the same time.To be honest, i enjoy writing dialogue for this character. Most other tg Quest Maincharacters are those slick, controlled Puppeteers, a slightly awkward Dude is a refreshing change.
"Oh, awesome, I'm happy for you two!" you grab Drei's hand and shake it with both of your hands! "You have my blessing!" you nod over and over. "Moro-" Albert slaps Burnstealt upside the head to shut her up."GGhhh..." the fox girl clams up, looks to the side and puffs her cheeks out. No, it wasn't adorable. You want to stomp her lungs out, but you were preoccupied with Drei."I'm here!" cadencia walks up, wearing a buttoned up white shirt. As soon as she gets back, you explain the situation about the Remnants and the Lunarian stuff."Ahhh... do you want Drei and I to come with you?Wow, you could form a party!>"Yeah, let's get going.">"No... I think you two should stay here. What if a Remnant does show up?">What to do?
>>20277768>No... I think you two should stay here. What if a Remnant does show up?
>>20277691>We were always retardedFeels meta, man.
>>20277793" ... And i don't want to spoil your honeymoon!"
>>20277768>"No... I think you two should stay here. What if a Remnant does show up?"Used goods, no longer interested.
>>20277823Yeah, let's add that.Honestly, i don't want those two joining for whatever reason.>>20277839> ever being interestedStep it up nigga.
>>20277768>"No... I think you two should stay here. What if a Remnant does show up?""You have any way of contacting or resummoning me if shit hits the fan?"
"No... I think you two should stay here. you know, alone togheter, in privacy, with no curious eye looking at what you guys are doing...to be better focused if a Remnant shows up"
"No, I think you two should stay here. What if a Remnant does show up?""But you're the Guardian, Jack. Why don't we go and you stay!" Drei says something that isn't your name. What was this, a running gag? Were you this world's chew toy? First Burnstealt and then this."My name isn't Jack. Anyway, this has to pretain to my past... probably. I was the one who asked Albert to do it in the first place. Drei, I trust Cadencia to you. Albert, Burntsalt, let's get moving.""A-alright Anon. Good luck!" Cadencia waves the two of you off with an almost bitter smile.Drei wraps his arm around her as he smiles."LET'S GET MOVING CUNTLICKER!" Brunstealt kicks you in the bum. "Kuh... alright." you whisper to Albert. He gives you a red handkerchief. You shove said handkerchief into Brunstealt's mouth. She protests but you don't care. "I'll... call you back if a Remnant shows up. Don't worry." Cadencia's voice really does sound out of it. OH WELL, you don't care, it was time for adventuring!...
>>20277768That dress is...is her butt naked?
You make it to the port town of Arivan. There was a large, literally ten mile long whale sitting there. It had grass, forest, it had an entire ECO SYSTEM ON ITS BACK. You stand there in awe. "Oh my god that is amazing.""Yes, my child?"You slap Brunstealt with the back of your hand. It has become second nature.>Board the SPACE WHALE>Wait a minute...>What to do?
>>20277935... Why no honeymoon? I wanted to know if they really married. You were being ambiguous in your post op.
>>20277950>Board the SPACE WHAAAAALLE
>>20277971Dating two weeks, they're fucking. That's it for now.You can probably break them up/push them further together later on.
>>20277950Ride the whale to adventure.
>>20277971WHO GIVES A SHITi DONT LIKE HERYOU DONT LIKE HERDREI DOES LIKE HERNOT IMPORTANT MANFUCKINGSPACEWHALE NIGGAGET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT
>>20277950Dammit OP, I didn't even want Anon to end up with her until you took her away from us!
>>20277950Well, we probably *should* tell Adfor that we won't be able to help him with his wife for a while because of Guardian duties...BUT MOTHERFUCKING SPACE WHALES!!!!!BOARD THAT BITCH!
>>20277950Wait a minute...check for cool & shitty stuff to buy at the port's merchants.
>>20278004Despite the fact I don't care about her anymore, I'm tempted to push for it just to spite you now.
>>20278004Lol wut, i just wanted to know if there was something between them or if we were just misunderstanding everything in our social awkwardness. I am not interested in her at all. I personally think it would be better if we leave the waifu can closed in this quest. Otherwise we gonna get into two worlds drama.
>>20278042ehh... You could do that if you want.>>20278067Yeah, i don't want it either.for nowI don't want to think to much about it now. I just want to board that space whale.
>>20277950You know, we're still broke as shit. How do we pay for things?And we never got to asking cadences about her circumstances.
SPACE WHALE!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQg9QiAaInw
>>20278207What circumstances would you like to know about? All is fine, shes trying to get us back home. Everything else is no important as long as she supports us kick remnant ass.
>>20278230I would still like to get to know her better. Not saying we should try to split up her and Drei or anything, but we know next to nothing about her.
"Alright, let's get moving, you two!" you nod to the others as you sprint down the grassy hill, closer to Port Arivan. You run, and run, the whale awaits you!Minutes pass. You're exhausted from your run but then... Albert points to something. "There's our ride!" he says. It was a much smaller whale. A much smaller one with horns and some skills on it. A small tree on its back. "RAoooo!" it makes a weird sound."This is Ademson, my Atlaseer whale! Helps me get around, you know.""We're going to be driving that?""Nope, you are!""I-I am..?""I'll tell you where to go. Not that hard to drive. Anyway, hop on!" you nod, leap off the ground and take a seat on the whale's back. You grab weird, adjustable horns (?) on its back. You pull one back, the whale moans as it rises into the air. It.. sounds weird, but you can work with it!>Choose where you want to go on the map!
>>20278230The fact that even though she's the princess of this island, and apparently the only heir, she lives by herself in a house away from the castle, and isn't able to call upon the resources of the kingdom.
>>20278273Vernegard because it sounds like a cool place.
>>20278288Yeah, I was wondering about that too. But people seem to not want to interact with her at all for some reason.
>>20278273Rundown Human Village. Lets get us some info on the ruins from the people who live nearby. And maybe we can find us some more party members. Or, you know, a bag to stuff the fox girl in.
>>20278273Go to: Lunarian Ruins. Do we even have supplies or dungeoneering equipment?
rolled 1 = 1>>20278273Can't choose1 lunarian runes2 rundown human village
>>20278312We seem to have picked back up the people from the first thread that had us acting like such an idiot.
>>20278308>>20278330Seconding Rundown Human Village. Also, we come from Vernegard dude. Thats the city we are supposed to protect.
>>20278354But it's clear even in this thread there are people that don't care about her other than she's doing what we want.
>>20278312Well, there wasnt much of a chance to interact with her.
Ruins, lets not waste any time.
>>20278336Well, that's one of the reasons I advocated going to the human village, so that we could grab any gear we might need before heading in.
>>20278273Okay op, this time I laughed. world map theme:http://www.youtu.be.com/watch?v=AhDlsGIxK0E&playnext=1&list=PLB369CD6861E003C8&feature=results_video
>>20278376Yeah that actually seems a smart thing to do.changing:>>20278338 to village.
Huma village ho!
With your destination in sight, you pull back on the horns! The whale screams in excitement as it flies forward, through the air and down under the clouds! The air running through your hair, the joy of it all! It was amazing, truly otherworldly! "Alright, let's see how fast you can go ADEMSON!" you push the controls down further. It doesn't squeak this time, it roars! The flippers at its side come inward, and the smaller whale cuts through the air!"AAAAAAahhhhhhhhhhh!" Brunstault grips one of the tree branches in an effort to stay on the whale. You smile. Albert just sits there, almost as if he's going to doze off. Was he this used to it?...About twenty minutes later, you're in the Underworld. The sky is blue with a pinkish tint, signifying the time of day. The ground is wet with new rain. You see a village in sight. The buildings are damaged, there are few rooves and there aren't any people running about in the streets. Well, there are a few, but no kids at all like you'd expect. This place was completely different than the Overworld. "Hey, I'm going to take Ademson and hide her somewhere! Take Brunstault with you, will ya?""NOPE. NOT GOING WITH HIM." the fox girl protests, clinking to the whale...>She can stay with you, I'll be fine by myself.>Alright, I'll take her.>What to do?
>>20278450>She can stay with you, I'll be fine by myself.Like hell we are gonna stay alone with THAT GIRL
>>20278450Alright, i'll take her.
>>20278367Which was not apparent in the several previous threads. If for nothing else, her life is connected to ours, so we should be more interested in her well-being. We didn't even ask how the negotiations with the King of Lancastle went, considering that we fought with their Guardian.
>>20278450Alright, I'll take her. She's acting exactly like we are currently; we deserve this.
>>20278482Don't say that to me. I'm all for getting to know her more when we can. Kind of annoyed we haven't really and that we just ran off so quickly like this.
>>20278482Again, there was not a single option to interact with her in this Thread besides taking her with us on a dungeon dive that would have left her home city literally undefended in case of a remnant attack.But you know, i dont really understand why they need a guardian to kill remnants considering those knights were perfectly able to keep up with us with their augmentation magic.
>>20278450>Alright, I'll take her.
>>20278527A rookie guardian with nearly no control over his abilities beat up possibly their best soldier without even going all out.
"I'll be fine by myself but I'll take her." you state that plainly, looking toward the dead human village. You start walking forward, leaving Brunstault behind. "HEY!" she leaps off the whale as it flies off. In a blur, she catches up, tackling you from behind. You fall forward, getting a face full of mud. You spit it up, shake your head and walk forward, ignoring her as if she's a nuisance (which she is). "Hahaha! You're kind of funny, Remiel.""Not my name.""Excalibur?""No. No." you say to yourself, smiling. "Please shut up." you continue to walk forward. Again, she taps your legs from behind. Your thoughts travel away from the short, annoying fox girl to Cadencia. You were in so much of a hurry to get here that you didn't ask her about anything. You were gone for two weeks and-That bitter smile. The way she spoke. She still felt bad about summoning you like this, didn't she? She's been letting you do whatever you want because of... "Ahhhhhhhhh shit." your palm meets your face. You didn't notice before, because you were so busy... Now you feel like shit."WHAT'S WRONG, BAKABAKA?" Brunstault wlaks forward, crouches down and looks straight at you.>Push her down and keep going>Ignore her like always, walk around her>Tell her how you feel>What to do?
>>20278564That rookie guardian still killed three remnants that were considered rather strong without getting wounded.I am pretty sure 20 or so knights with support of a mage like Cadencia or two would have been perfectly able to take those beasts.Also, Moonknight wrecked us without even trying, and he isnt a guardian.
>>20278527Reaction time I guess. a guardian is always able to fight, no matter his preparation and resources. normal people must prepare, gather equipment, heal from wounds and recover stamina.or some shit like that.
>>20278564Tell her how you feel>>20278601We rolled badly. I don't even understand why we were going to hit him. What if we actually rolled high?
>>20278588English Idiot. Do you speak it?Trip her when she moves forward.
> Space weaboosFuck eldritch abominations empowered by despair and insanity, this is much, much worse.…and now we're allied with the thing.
>>20278588Tell her how we feel
>>20278673>>20278624this first then this:>>20278643
>>20278649Space weaboo FOX girl attention whores.Even worse. remember BBB...
>>20278588>Tell her how you feel>Push her down and keep going
>>20278690B-big Black and Beautiful?
>>20278690...Bulette Breathing Bubbles?
>>20278450For an instant, I thought about saying "I don't speak Japanese" in Japanese just to fuck with her, but let's just ignore it.
>>20278601Because a Guardian was still needed to finish the Remnants off. Also, that was the Captain of their knights using his magic to buff himself only just able to equal us at our baseline. And if regular knights were enough, then they wouldn't have summoned us, nor would every single other nation consider having a Guardian a vital part of their defenses.
"I feel stupid, really... also, English idiot, do you speak it?" you push her down to the ground lightly with your hand as you pass by. The village was getting closer with each step. "Really stupid for not realizing how she was acting. Gone for two weeks, come back, don't say much. Urgh." you sigh. There was time after this to patch things up, so there wasn't much to worry about. You always got like this back home, and now it's... well, old habits die hard."What, is it about that whoreee?" Brunstault speaks up, running as fast as she can. She completely ignored the fact that you pushed her down two seconds ago."Shut that damn mouth of yours or I'll shut it for you.""Fiestyyyy.""Seriously, shut it fox girl. We're here." you finally arrive at the village. There's no sign of Albert or Ademson. They're probably waiting for you to get back and go to the Lunarian temple. "Why did you come with me anyway?""I've got money... err.. sort of." Brunstealt walks forward, pulls out your hand and... a single fragment falls into your hands. The fox girl literally made a piece of gold appear. "I'm an Alchemist Beastkin" she grins proudly.She can literally make gold.>"Why the shit didn't you tell me this earlier?">Tolerate her, you get money, keep going>What to do?
>>20278690Byakuren Baking Buddhism
>>20278759"Wow! that's cool! Still though, you can't buy height with gold."
>>20278759Tolerate her. Her fault for being annoying, our fault for being too stupid to remember that we don't have a credit card or any money. Let's go into the town, see if there's any kind of store.
>>20278759All of a sudden this bitch is amazingly fucking useful. Start buttering her up about how AMAZING that shit was, so that we can find out more about it and it's limitations.
>>20278780That.
>>20278759"Heh... I guess you're not completely useless after all."
>>20278759>"Why the shit didn't you tell me this earlier?"put an arm around her shoulder. both looking at the sunset with a stern, prideful expression. a chorus starts on the background, growing in intensity as the wind moves your hair(change camera angle, behind their shoulders)at the horizon, enormous, golden letters burn where the dying sun should be. C A P I T A L I S M
"Wow! That's cool! Still though, you can't buy height with gold." you shrug and walk away from Brunstault, leaving her in the dust. She puts the gold rock in her mouth and literally BITES it to pieces in frustration. She sighs. The fox walks forward and follows closely behind you. "Hey, doesn't this place feel strange to you?" "No. Never been here, so I wouldn't know. It's kind of creepy, yeah, but what kind of places do you expect in a realm called the Underworld?""Err.. right. Hm..." Brunstault's ears twitch. "See any stores?""No, nothing. I only see-""A fine little lady!" you hear a gruff voice from behind. "Come on!" you turn to face him, eyes turning into slits. "We don't get many visitors around here! Well, not ones we welcome but... you're a pretty lady! Come on now, let's go!" he grips Brunstault's arm and starts dragging her into the alley. This was all too sudden..."H-hey, let me gooo! Ahhh!">Let her go for the right price>No, this wasn't right. Stop him!>What to do?
>>20278780>>20278780I hope her skills allow her to cook up a salve for THAT BURRRNN~>>20278690>>20278690With the attitude of a con-GLOMPer and the stature to ensure she gets away with anything short of poisoning the city's water supply.Really, this girl's a package with BAD NEWS written all over it…>>20278791Can't be helped, gotta go with this.
>>20278859>No, this wasn't right. Stop him!Grab the man and pin him down.
>>20278859Assault Rifle aimed directly at his head.
>>20278859>No, this wasn't right. Stop him!"Get you hands off my money!"
>>20278859"Hey, now, just slow down a bit. She's with me."Be conversational and non-threatening, but have a weapon where he can see it.We may not like her, but do we really want to have to tell our BEAR-BRO that we got his charge enslaved while we just stood around?
"Get your hands off my money!" you move close in on the man in less then a second. Your new control over the energy that swirls within was fantastic. You free Brunstault's hand, put the would-be captor into a judo throw and pin him to the ground. "Aghh! How are you so-""MAGIC. Now shut up. What were you going to do with Brunstault? Eh?""A-anon." Brunstault stands there, whispering something. Then, her expression changes into a devious smile. "Hehe... come on, tear his arm off, he deserves it!" what was she saying?"Hold on, Brunstault." "Hahahahha you're pretty funny!""Anonnnn just rip it off." Brunstault walks forward, crouches down and starts rubbing the thug's head affectionaly.What was going on.>Knock him out, he's scum, that's all you need to know.>Rip it off like Brunstault suggests>Let Brunstault have him>What to do?
>>20278963Question him and then knock him out.You don't just go around dragging people into alleys, that's rude.
>>20278963Let Brunstault have him.
>>20278991This.If she persist on tearing his arm off:"If you want to maim him that badly, do it yourself."Act like we'll release him to check how she reacts.
>>20278963>Rip it off like Brunstault suggests. rip arms, rip legs, rip genitals, rip intestines, rip liver, rip lungs, rip heart, rip eyes, rip skin, rip bones, rip brain from cranium, dice, cut, slash, slice, stomp, smash, crush throw everything until the walls bloom with his fresh bloodI...I can't really explain this sudden bloodlust.
>>20278963Hey, we still need answers to questions, such as where are the people here, information about the ruins, and if there's a general store.THEN Brunstault can have him.
>>20279067>Cut all the pits to smaller peices with sword, mash 'em to a pulp with gauntlet, shoot pulp while laughing maniaclyBut honestly: >>20279108
"Alright, what were you going to do with Brunstault?" you grip his hand again, ignoring the fox girl's suggestions. Crack. Crack. You put pressure on it."Agghh... I was gonna have my way with her!" "Alright, now tell me where everyone is. As in, people. Why is this village so empty?""Hahahah! Truth? This village is one big whore hou-AAAAAAAAaaahhhhh!" that wasn't you this time, that was Brunstault's mouth chomping down on his head. Her fangs seep in like she's biting into an orange. The blood flows out from his hair and scalp. "I'm guessing there's no store around here either, is there?""HAHAHAH! NO! IDIOT!""You know what, that's all I need. Brunstault, you can have him." you stand up from the man, cracking your knuckles.You turn back for a second. A liquid rains down upon your back. The force behind the explosion is enough to push you forward a few feet. Another explosion, and another. You turn around. Brunstault's fangs retract into her mouth, her tail shrinks. She grabs your hand, pulling you along and away from the bloody mess.>"What in the fuck did you do?">"Let's do something about this village and free the women.">"No new information here, let's get back to Albert.">What to do?
>>20279208" Wait what did you just do? Also, you think we should free those women?"
>>20279208"Dammit, Brunstault! This was a new shirt! The least you could have done was tell me you were gonna pulp him!"Gah! Anyway, we going to go around this place? I've still got questions, and maybe someone has answers."Are the women here of their own free will, or forced to stay here?If the former, we leave. If the latter, we need a plan. We can't just kill the operators of this brothel and leave the women to fend for themselves down here.
"What in the fuck did you do?...anyway, considering that probably you're able to watch your hairy ass in a fight, do you mind assisting me fucking this village and free the women?"I'm revalutating this little bitch.
>>20279273Technically only our cape -and maybe shoes- would be ruined.
>>20279290>shoesOh that's even worse! Have you ever had to walk a mile in wet shoes and socks? It is a miserable experience.
>>20279308I don't think we're wearing espadrillas...
>>20279308THE HORROR
"Wait, what did you just do? Also, you think we should free those women?" you look at your NOW red cape. Brunstault keeps walking forward as she licks her lips. "I ate him, did you think I did? Also, I don't care about those women. They're fleeting life and they deserve no redemption." her mannerisms and speech are totally different. Now she's talking 'down' to them. "Thanks for sharing your opinion. Considering that probably you're able to watch your hairy ass in a fight, do you mind assisting me in this village and freeing the women?""I'd rather not, but the choice is up to you." now her voice was seductive...No, you remain strong. You keep a clear head!>Ask Brunstault what she is>Free the women, become a hero!>What to do?
>>20279381PFFFT why not? >Free the women, become a hero!Gotta white knight now and then.
>>20279381>Ask Brunstault what she is"So what exactly are you? Not your regular little fox girl, I take it?"I want to save the women, but it means taking them back with us and likely disrupting the Vernangard economy, or leaving them here to starve. Or they start up their brothel again, but this time as their own management.
>>20279381Demonic possessions AHOY!But free the women. As we've previously established with our (Batshit-crazy) characterization, one of the few things we can't stand are the denial of freedoms to oneself or others.
>>20279381I am imagineing a Monty Python-esque Lancelot rescue.>>20279417This then:>>20279402
>>20279381Of course we're going to be a hero.
>>20279381>Free the women, become a hero!>Burmstealt Lorelei sama, is this your real form? seeing your true self would be really cool privilege. I mean, you don[t suck so much after all.
>>20279475>samaNo we are not doing that.
crap, dropping out...see ya next time.
>>20279475Don't inflate her ego.
>>20279492I was trying to sound serious...if you use sama, they know shit got real.
>>20279506This, this. A thousand times this.
>>20279475Where the fuck did that come from? Yeah, she's probably some shape-shifting spirit or whatever the fuck, but she's also annoying as hell and, more importantly, just got minced rapist all over our NEW FUCKING SHOES. Bitch should be glad we didn't pimp-slap her.
"I can't tolerate this. I really can't. Having your own freedom stripped away... no, I can't stand for it." you clench your fists in anger. You take in a deep breath as you try and pull your hand away from Brunstault. "Uh, are you going to let go?""No, I'm not." Brunstault then bites into your hand, drawing blood."OHHHhhh SHIT GET OFF!" you try and yank her away.. that only makes it hurt worse. "JESUS... OFF!" you put your hand to her throat, using all of your strength to push her off! Three, two, one, she's off. "WHAT THE FUCK!?""Immunization." Brunstault licks her lips, smiling. "Immunization to what, and what the fuck has gotten into you?""Since Albert isn't around, I can show some of my true colors, as it were." she closes her eyes, licking the blood off her fingers. >"True colors? Your fucking crazy." start exploring the houses and killing thugs>"Fucking made my hand bleed..." start complaining>What to do?
>>20279598"Alright, hold up. Immunization to what? What's there around there that I would need immunization against?"
>>20279612This. I want answers before i go safe prostitutes.
>>20279598Oh. Oh HELL. Whatever the fuck she just did, we really need to find out the consequences. Because maybe the immunization she's talking about is her immunizing us to other spirits/vampires/whatever the fucks are currently around. Or it could be her immunizing herself against our powers. Or it could be something completely different.So, "The fuck do you mean: immunization?"
>>20279612>>20279616Well... We are going to save prostitutes, better to get immunizated against whatever they'll give us.
"Alright, hold up. Immunization to what? What's there around there that I would need immunization against?" you really don't know what is going on. Immunization against what? What is going on?"It would ruin your image if I told you, and the image of that little old man and his wife~! It's much more fun to keep it a secret." she's talking about Adfor and his wife Anne. "Stop beating around the bush you bitch and tell me!""Are you positive? Hmm?" she walks forward, grabs you by the chin and starts rubbing it affectionatly like she did the thug. Her tail was wagging. Wow, this 'other' side to her was a real bitch. "Are you sure?">Just tell me!>You're probably right, don't tell me.>What to do?
>>20279666>dat 666I'm scared.>Just tell me!
>>20279666Tell Me.
>>20279666"Yes! I read through the histories of the atrocities that my people have committed against each other for the past 2000 years as a hobby. What can you tell me, that my people haven't done and worse?"
>>20279666"I swear, if you sterilized me..."
>>20279666The devil commands you to speak woman.
>>20279666If there's something bad enough that I need to be immunized going around, then it's bad enough that I need to know about it. Now stop stalling and tell me.
"Very well then! Albert's discovered something so very interseting about Remnants. It's that they're created from humans, you know that right? I'm pretty sure that idiot summoner told you..." Brunstault looks to the side, grabbing her arm as if she's some sort of helpless child. "W-well then..." she stutters. "It turns out that virus has a name! It's called Darkworm, or Darkwyrm. It was in Lunarian dialogue, so I couldn't read it. Albert could, though.""W-wait... the Lunarians ARE behind THIS!?""Apparently so! It's all their fault! Darkwyrm feeds on the ambition and/or soul of the victim and mutates them. Turns them into Remnants. There's no cure for it, there's nothing anyone can do. Although, I theorize that Guardians and Summoners are immune to it, that's why I bit you. Now I'm immune! Hahaha!" she laughs to herself."Wait... so that means Adfor's wife is going to..." your legs feel week. Two weeks taking care of her, she didn't say a word, she just kept groaning in pain. You take a seat on a bench nearby, hands shaking. "It's only a matter of time before that old man succumbs to it too!">"T-those.. bastards!" resolve to beat the shit out of the Lunarians, go save the women>No use worrying about it now... go save the women>What to do?
>>20279797>"T-those.. bastards!" resolve to beat the shit out of the Lunarians, go save the women
>>20279797>No use worrying about it now... go save the women" I am glad you did tell me though."
>>20279797"1500 years, the technology to make a self-sustaining lunar colony, and those lazy-ass fucks can't even come up with a nanite cure to a stupid-ass VIRUS?"...Thanks for telling me, Brustault. Though you're not human, right? What makes you think you could be infected?"Alright, let's go bust up this whorehouse.
>>20279797Well, we do need to take the word of the quite-obviously schizophrenic, shape-shifting, man-eating fox-person with a grain of salt.>No use worrying about it now... go save the womenWe'll get more from her about this after we're done here.
>>20279797Well looks like we have a clear goal to achieve. Destroy the Lunarians while looting all of their technology, and maybe if we hurry we can find some sort of cure. For now though time to save those women.
"1500 years, the technology to make a self-sustaining lunar colony and those lazy-ass fucks can't even come up with a nanite cure to a stupid-ass VIRUS?" you place your head in the palm of your hand. Frustration seeps in. You've only known Adfor and Anne for two weeks yet... "Thanks for telling me, Brunstault. Though you're not human, right? What makes you think you could be infected?""Albert believes anything influenced by the Starheaven can be infected." even though she was crazy, sadistic, she was much easier to talk to this way. You stand up from the bench. You walk down the road, closering to the center of the town. "Thanks for telling me then.""It's really my pleasure... but we still have to save these whores, right?""I told you yes." you grip the hilt of your sword and walk forward.End of Chapter 7What did you guys think?Next thread is tomorrow afternoon.
>>20279954It was alright. Though I wish we had made different choices that would have opened up more conversation options.Seeing things from the other side was interesting. Maybe if we remembered more details of our life, we would be better motivated to not be a social reject who's value is only as a tool.
>>20279954Doing fine OP.Longest thread up till now, Was really fun today.
>>20279954I'm thinking the time skip was a mistake. We missed out on some character building: for example, we still know nothing about Adfor aside from the fact that he's awesome, we know nothing about what our training with him was like and Drei apparently shacked up with Cadencia the day we left with no previous hint that he wanted her. But that's just my opinion.
>>20280003Shall I dedicate the next thread to the training arc?
>>20280013I don't know. On the one hand, it's more character development and gives us more information about the world and our abilities.On the other hand, I think it'll just make most of our decisions near the beginning seem even more idiotic in hindsight.
>>20280013I think it would be a good idea. We'll have knowledge of what we learned when we enter situations when it'd be useful and you won't have to continuously explain to us what we can now do when our character technically already knows it.
>>20279954My personal opinion is that you should have people act out the mc dialogue and actions, but I still think you're doing a fine job so far.
>>20280003Kind of have to agree here. Never caught the earlier threads so not sure if you're carrying on the old attitudes but we really need to get on better terms with our summoner. Have had no chance to really interact with her and then Drei jumping in like that probably just made people more pleased to not interact with her since they dislike her.
>>20280013fuck no, too late for that, the damage is done.oh, since the princess is out of the picture, how about hooking up with the psycho vampire that bit us?
>>20280874No, the princess isn't out of the picture yet. And why would we hook up with Brunstault? She's got no interest in us beyond the fact that we might have immunized her against becoming a Remnant, and Albert seems to like us because we're the only one that listens to him.
>>20279954>>20279954Your're becoming better with descriptions and painting a mental picture.Also pacing.Agree that you revealed your hand too early in the game with panning over to earth, but what's done is done.Waiting Warmly for the next episode.
>>20279954Not entirely pleased with the direction things have gone to be honest but that's not entirely your fault. I was expecting more of an island political thing while being the big damn hero of the island but now it's gone off to exploration and ignoring our duties. Also not really a fan of this crazy girl and how interaction with the princess has gone down the shitter. You'd think after realizing her ritual basically saved us from dying in the other world, we'd be trying to get on better terms with her.
>>20284067>You'd think after realizing her ritual basically saved us from dying in the other world, we'd be trying to get on better terms with her.While I agree, you'll have to contend with the anons who just seem to dislike her for no apparent reason.
