You ever heard of the story Knock?I feel like I'm in a similar situation.Minus the aliens.I should be the last sane person out in these lands.
So.. Who the hell is that dude?Or chick I guess.
>>20461911Pyro
So, you're letting us out ofthat thing you put us in last time?
>>20461911Probably another person like you. And like you, they've probably got a few secrets.Keep an eye on them, but I wouldn't try to interact until they get close to your house.
>>20461911Onto the situation at hand, they seem to be non-mutated but that doesn't mean friendly.Get your shotgun out, make sure its loaded, don't stand right at the window, get at least visual cover in case they're hostile and try to shoot you. See if they approach closer, if they do so greet them.
>>20461911See if you can get their attention subtly.Do you have a spell that would like make a little light near them?
>>20461911Looks like they're wearing a gasmask too. Fellow magic user?Sneak up using your years of CIA/Navy Seal/Army Ranger/Secret Monkey Kingdom soldier/Nerd girl hiding from boys training and get a closer look.
>I should beNOTE THE SHOULD. Weird shit happens, sister! Also, can we get a recon of the area/inventory/status, etc?
>>20461987Yes. Sorry, I was just a bit.. Self conscious.>>20461990I am...They don't look like a mutant or anything. No hunch or slow walk.He looks human.>>20461995I do have spells that can get their attention..Anyway the shotgun is loaded and it actually works. Right now the person seems to be walking away from the house..>>20462014Area:Rundown town filled with mutants and poison air. I'm in a thankfully locked house that has less poisonous air.Inventory:5 Gallons of water in a tank, 9 pounds of Dried Meat, 14 Matches, 1 Change of Clothing, 1 Key to this house.Status: Kinda hungry.
>>20462037Let's get his attention with a spell then.A peace offering of a half pound of Dried Meat maybe, if that's not too much of our store?
>>20462037Okay, they seem to be carrying a backpack, unlike you. So if they're a wizard they don't have the Inventory thing you do. Honestly you should probably get their attention, preferably without magic, just in case they don't like magic use. You should share information, it'll give both of you a better chance of survival.
>>20462037Didn't you just eat? Time gets a little wonky in here.You might be able to get some food off him, if you can make friends or kill him. Or just by being around when the mutants get him.I think you should follow him for a while. Don't use spells though. wouldn't want to lose the other eye as well.
>>20462037Need to know: Filters for gas mask? Is the house adjecant to any others? How big is the shotty, in case we need to break things like a lock or a window?
>>20462086Don't ask about gas mask filters, that way madness lies.
>>20462095[spoilers]The gas mask... it does nothing![/spoilers]
>>20462058I'm always hungry. Anyway killing him is an option I suppose but there are precious few humans out in the wilds. Also if he survived this long he has 'something' up his sleeve.>>20462048That's quite a chunk of meat. Still if it helps..>>20462057[The girl goes out into the former living room and waits at the window for the man to cross in front of the house on the opposite street,When he does she taps the window a few times.The man turns to face herand draws a weapon.]Dammit
>>20462138He's probably being cautious. Bring ours up, and then duck and roll away from the window in case he fires in response.This should also be a show of intelligence.
>>20462138Wave, give him a thumbs up. Gesture for him to come closer.
>>20462138Is that a gun? Indicate that you have one as well. A bigger one. That should make him a bit less agressive.Told you you should have stayed quiet.
>>20462138He may just be being cautious, still ready your shotgun and set up a good place to take cover behind just incase he is hostile.
[Blue pulls out her much larger weapon. If not for how deadly the weapon is one could laugh at how such a small girl would think to wield the thing.The man responds by dropping his weapon and holding up his hand]>"I'm not here to hurt you girl. Just passing through."....First time I've heard a human voice that wasn't in my head in a long time.
>>20462213Come on now, be polite. Invite him in, and see if you can share a meal.Don't let your guard down, though.
>>20462213Does he only have one arm? Also, should we invite him in? Offer abit of food? It might be a fair trade for information about things he's seen.
>>20462213If you still have a [passibly human] voice then you should yell back.I dunno if you want to trust him though, Blue. These seem like dark times. Definitely don't keep him around when you sleep. People still sleep, right?
>>20462213We're not here to hurt you. I thought we were showing off our guns.Would you like to come inside so we can share information on the state of the world?
>>20462213Tell him you didn't want to hurt him either but he pulled the knife. Ask him who he is, where hes from and where he's headed. Maybe he's got something to trade for meat but don't offer unless he seems civil. Or at least not-crazy enough.
>>20462213Ask where he's headed and why.
>>20462213Is he cute?~
>>20462257MaybeI won't let the man in just yet.Not until I know he won't just kill me when my guard is dropped even a bit.I like to think my voice is still good enough to talk with others.."Where are you heading?">"A city not far from here. Day's travel on foot.""Why?">"Just going by a rumor I'd heard about the place. Wouldn't mean anything to a normal person.">>20462222He's got both arms.. Just one is tucked away.Should I invite him in..? Can't exactly ask him if he has anything valuable on him now or he'll think I'm trying to rob him. If I let him in though..
>>20462303The world got smited by god and we're walking through poisonous air in a landscape inhabited by mutants. There is no normal. What did the rumor say about it?You should probably let him in, keep the shotgun close but not too threatening.
>>20462303Nah, I don't think you should trust him.I wonder why he thinks you are normal though. Maybe just warn him about the mutant running aroun the town, and follow him after he leaves.
>>20462303Let him in, but keep the shotgun in your lap. His weapon stays in the holster and if he draws it, or he gets closer than 3 paces from you, he dies.
>>20462351I like the way this one thinks.
>>20462351>>20462325"Pick your weapon up and sheath it. You can come inside."[The man grabs his weapon and tucks it away.The man walks into the house. Blue sits a few feet away with her gun pointed at him]"....">"....""So.. What was the rumor?">"Again, nothing someone like you would be worried about. Have you brought me in here to rob me? You'll be disappointed to know that all I have are books and probably contaminated water."
>>20462461Say that you wanted to talk, and order him to start talking about stuff.
>>20462461If we wanted to rob him, he'd already be dead.Now get him to spill it.
>>20462461I don't want your stuff, though I am somewhat interested in the books.Also how do you know I wouldn't be interested in this rumor, come on, out with it.
>>20462461I honestly just want to talk.Would some food help you believe me?
>>20462461Might as well be honest, it's been a while since you've seen anyone alive. Just give him the warning about the mutant in the store.You should probably get him to leave soonish. And it looks like he's got another weapon in his jacket or something.
"I don't want your stuff, though I am somewhat interested in the books. Also how do you know I wouldn't be interested in this rumor. Come on, out with it.">"....">>20462488"Also get your hand out of your jacket.">"I'm not holding another weapon there.""Do it.">"..."[The man takes out his arm and holds it along with the other one in the air.]>"This is basically what the rumor is about. I'd heard there is a Magic user in the next city who can use Magic and even fail without any negative side effects. People say she can even heal this."!!!!!>"Well, going to kill me?"".... No. I... I just haven't seen anyone around who hasn't tried to kill me."He 'is' a Magic user.And there's someone who can cure the mutation?
>>20462565Well hey, looks like a quest.Tell him to sit down, and get out a small amount of food.While you're eating, ask if He'd mind some company on his trip. No way you're passing this up.
>>20462565Looks like you're both in the same boat.Where did you hear this rumor from? Was it from a reliable source? Ask if he'd like a piece of jerky.
>>20462565I have an idea, you can lie to him. Tell him you're looking for a way to cure a friend, or maybe your sister, of the magical corruption thingy. See if he'll let you tag along.This is a chance to fix your hand and chest! Don't let it get away.
>>20462565We should show him our hand.
>>20462587Since we know he's corrupted, why are we not telling him we're the same?Also how are we going to explain that we have another person somewhere, but he can't see them or talk to him?>>20462598Seconding this. He exposed himself, so we should do the same.
>>20462598Just out of curiosity, what spell in particular did that to your hand.Also, don't tell him about us, if you can avoid it. I'm kinda fond of you, and he might be mean to us.
>>20462606Because you NEVER give people blackmail material in a post apoc world.
>>20462565The rumor sounds like it's worth following up for the chance at safe magic. Careful though, don't get your hopes up too high. People will believe almost anything if it gives them a little bit of hope.At worst, you can compare magical notes with him and part ways if things don't work out.
>>20462621Seconded. A condition that get's you murdered isn't one you share without know who it is.
>>20462565Do we know whether failed magic use can result in internal or spiritual mutation/corruption? Never judge a book by its cover after all.
>>20462660My pet theory is that burned out magicians become mutants, but don't tell Blue that.
>>20462679Idiot, she can hear you!
>>20462598I think I should.>>20462621Or maybe not..>>20462638Yeah I'll keep it to myself for now... Hard enough telling you guys. Though it means I have to avoid eating in front of him.>>20462614It was a botched Blast spell. I made the area of effect too big for me to handle.And don't worry, I'm not gonna get rid of you guys. You're all awesome.>>20462660Most I've seen is like messed up flesh."Sit down.. Would you like something to eat?">"Would I. I'm starving."[Blue pulls out a piece of Jerky and hands it to the Man. The Man takes off his mask and devours the piece.]He 'is' cute."Tell me more about this rumor. I've always been interested in magic.">"Well... Mmm this is good.. It's just a rumor is all. They say the city is ruled by a powerful Magic user. One almost as powerful as the leader of the Central City. They say she invented a means of casting magic without a chance of backfiring. With that kind of power she can even heal corruption. I know it's only a little to go on but honestly there's not much else to do out here is there?""No, I guess not. Maybe I could come along with you? Becoming all messed up is my biggest fear when deciding if I should start learning magic. It'd be great to have a fool-proof way.>"Miss, I'm real grateful for the food and all but I'm not too keen on taking in anyone else. "
>>20462705Well, I could be wrong. I kinda hope I am.
>>20462774Pssht, I've been alive this long! I won't be a burden.
>>20462774We have weapons, and more supplies than you. It's more a question of whether or not we're willing to help you.And we are, so accept it. Don't make us do the awkward stalking-you-for-a-mile-out-of-town-and-then-you-notice-and-it's-too-late thing.
>>20462792A valid point.
>>20462774Ask him if he knows of other surviving cities, it sounds like he knows more then just two, since he said the 'next city'. And you told us there was only one.Heh, it doesn't matter if he rejects you. We're going to follow him anyway, right?
>>20462774You've taken care of yourself this long, you certainly wouldn't be a burden on him. Besides, what's to stop you from following him?
People seem not to realise that we are the red gem, so here is the previous thread: suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/20436829/
>>20462774"You think I'm here by choice? No, I'm here because there aren't any safe places left to go to and travel is dangerous.I want to go with you since you're an actual person, and slowly going mad from loneliness falls somewhere between mutating into a monster and being ripped apart by one on my horrible-shit-o-meter.Besides, I'm not a leech. I can pay my way with supplies... Or... services."You need to go back to the store and check what's behind the locked door, since you now have a key. Also, read the note.
"I'm the one with the most supplies here. And a firing weapon. You need my help if you're going to make it any sort of length of time and even if you don't 'let' me go with you I'll still follow you from behind. So let's just avoid all that and let me come along."[The man laughs]>"Well, I sure didn't expect any talk like that from a girl your height. And I guess if you wanted to kill me you'dve done so already. All right, you can come along.""Good."[The two of them pack supplies and leave town.The man introduces himself as Mark. Blue tells him her new name. As the two of them walk they discuss other inhabited cities. Most are run by lawless gangs that Blue would do well to stay away from. Others are just barely surviving. One or two, a few days travel from here, have been doing well enough.He hands her a handmade Map. He explains he's always loved making them and the new layout of the land has given him a chance to really work.As they begin to discuss Magic, Blue discovers that while Mark may know a lot about how it works he knows little practical knowledge. Blue on the other hand is able to wield it well but knows little of how it works. They talk and walk until it becomes dark.]>"We should set up camp.""In the desert?">"No other city around. I have a tent and sleeping bag.""Mutants.">"Not a worry, I'll just set up a protection circle. Nothing will be able to step in. Even the Miasma can be pushed out for a while."
>>20463021Damn, that circle is useful.
>>20463059It's probably why he has no mask.
>>20463021he seems quite the powerful mage. Steal his socks when he's asleep. it'll be hilarious.
>>20463067He has a mask, Ego. He took it off to eat.
>>20463067He has a mask, are you not paying any attention? It's just that masks are not nessicary inside.
>>20463021That is a very useful map. And him knowing more about the theoretical aspects of magic can only help your casting.You're going to have to take off your mask to eat and given that you didn't want us to see it, I doubt you want him to. So you might have to wait for him to sleep to do it.That being said I would like to see your face, I caught a glimpse last night and I would like to say I find your teeth rather cute.
>>20461905>ask about theoretical aspects of magicThis. But make it seem like you're just bored and want something to talk about before bedtime.
>>20463021Have him teach you that. You need to learn more about how magic works, since that will reduce your failure rates.Also? Let him see your face. We saw enough of it to know you're making a big deal over basically nothing, and it's a show of trust. You want to make a show of trust before you go to sleep.
>>20463021Offer to take first watch and eat then.You can eat and determine whether you can trust his magical defenses.
>>20463161Dammit, meant to link to >>20463105
>>20463163Nope. Keep your face hidden. Just like the hand, don't give him anything to manipulate you with.
>>20463067He does have a mask. I'll admit it seems to be a bit more compact then mine.>>20463059I know right?[The man sets down their supplies and casts the spell. The miasma is pushed away from them as the Circle is laid down.]"Wow..">"Yeah. I'm glad that didn't backfire on me to be honest..""You'd mentioned before there was a reason Magic backfires? Why is that?">"Well it's just a theory.. We believe that after the First Encounter part of the curse god laid upon us was being unable to use Magic properly. It was a dying curse and imperfect but it worked a bit. Now, this Magic user at the city is rumored to know the curse and is able to remove it. I really hope that's true.">>20463105ADHLSJ\HDALKJLKAFHALKSJDA!?!?!YOU SAW MY FACE!?Wait, cute?I... No. It's not cute. Not at all.And I'm not going to show anyone."Hey, you've been walking around longer then I have. I'll take first watch.">"Normally I would protest but I am quite tired.. Goodnight Blue."".... Goodnight Mark."[Mark enters the tent. She hears rustling as he gets settled in.As he goes to bed the two of them talk about Magical Theory. Blue gains a better understanding of Magic as a result.When Mark stops responding Blue stays quiet until she can hear him breathing steadily. She removes her mask and You and sits down to eat.]That was a helpful discussion. Magic is a lot deeper then I thought.Circle is holding up.
>>20463288It was only a small part of your face we saw. Just the corner of your mouth, really.
>>20463288I wonder, if we sing the lyrics loud enough could we get Journey to play through the crystal?...Just a small town girl.
>>20463316WHERE. IS. IT. PANZER. ???
>>20463316You have very nice teeth.But we're sorry! We didn't mean to upset you, please don't be mad at us.How many more days worth of food do you have? You might have to stop to scrounge some more before the next town.
>>20463288Your mask is much more stylsih, if you don't mind me saying so.Watch out when you get to the city. If someone can remove the curse, they probably won't do it for free. And when you go to sleep tonight, do so lightly. This Mark character may only have behaved because we could kill him. One hand on the shotty at all times.
>>20463288Well technically we just saw the lower half or so of one side of it, not much more than your teeth. Seriously, we don't mind, but we'll try to avert our gaze if it bothers you that much. But it's still cute, you can trust us on that count and if you can't trust the possibly insane intelligence inside of a red crystal who can you trust?
>>20463288i'm sorry i peekedplease don't put us back in the dark place.i'm scared of the dark placeit was like i was dead againi'll be good this time miss blue i promise
>>20463374>>20463353>>20463352>>20463340>>20463316'Cute'.Hmph..... I'm not mad at you. Can't blame you if I didn't cover you right.JustI don't like how it looks.Anyway we should have enough food to survive the rest of the trip. Mark says the city isn't more then half a day's walk away.7 Pounds of Jerky remain.[Blue waits out the rest of her watch in silence. When a few hours pass she places her mask back on and wakes Mark up. He gets ready and takes watch.Blue lays down in the most comfortable sleeping bag she's laid in in ages and falls asleep...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------She is woken up by something touching her side.]
>>20463440It's Mark! Quick! Punch him in the face!
>>20463440Be cool, it's just Mark waking you up. Probably. Don't go blowing him up, or anything prematurely.
>>20463440I think it's Mark but you should probably wake up. Don't start by punching him but don't take it off the table.
>>20463467Don't start by *shooting* him, but don't take it off the table.
[Blue jumps up]"What are yo-!?">"Woah! Easy there! It's morning already. Just came by to wake you up.""Oh.. Ok.">"Pack up, I'm going to take down the circle. Gotta start walking if we want to get there before the sun is above us."
>>20463598Acknowledge him. Pack up your stuff, put us back on and head out. Does your new understanding of the theory behind magic allow you to cast more powerful spells or lower your chances of there being backlash?
>>20463612knowing about the curse does nothing, she needs to KNOW the curse. how it works upon the world.
>>20463598Dangit, Blue, I just realized something. You don't really have anything to pack up. Why? Because of your Inventory spell.... The man has probably figured out that you have a secret you're not telling him, or he doubts that you've been surviving on your own for long.I'd suggest acting slightly stupider than you have been. Don't tell him anything he shouldn't know. Just...do stuff like miss footprints, botch your recollections of his "lessons" on magic, that sort of thing.Can't be too careful.
>>20463640Oh damn... I didn't even notice that!>>20463612I actually can cast spells that are more complex then before. Like Locate Shotgun can become Locate Working Shotgun That Is The Right Size For Me.[The two of them pack up camp and head off. It's a mostly silent, Blue makes a few casual remarks about how she doesn't really remember what they last talked about. They soon enough they reach some crudely made gates in the center of large walls. Mark knocks on the gates but there's no reply.]>"Funny... This should be it.""Should we just break them open.">"People might not take too kindly to that."[Before she can protest she hears a voice from the other side of the gate.]>???: "What do you want?">"Is the ruler of this city the one who can control Magic with no ill effects?">"She is.">"Then we have come to speak with her and perhaps learn her secrets."[The gates open for them. Inside is a large man wearing an eyepatch]>??? "Follow me."[The pair do as they are told and are lead into the city. It seems mostly devoid of life but there are a few buildings that look as though people have been in them.They make their way to a larger, better kept building in the center. Inside the Large Man goes to the side of a woman dressed in far too much gold.]
>>20463700>???: "Miss Lily.">"Greetings Miss Lily. I have traveled a long way and I-">Lily: "Don't bother, I know why you're here. It's always the same reason. If you want to know the secret first show me where you are Marked.">"Excuse me?">Lily: "I have a bit of a fascination knowing exactly how the Curse punished idiot Magic users. Now show me and then swear loyalty to me."
>>20463704Wait, Princess Goldtits wants your loyalty. Fuck that noise. She hasn't shown a single shred of proof that she can actually do things without backlash and even if she had I still wouldn't swear loyalty to her. It'll probably be magically enforced or something like that.
>>20463704Aaaand there's the catch that we talked about earlier. You're your own girl Blue, don't agree to anything that would take that away from you. If this lady can figure the secret out, you can too!
let mark go first. be ready to fuck someone's shit if they are queen bitch.
rolled 46 = 46>>20463704So, you just need to sort of will your magic for it to happen, and there are no set "spells". Shouldn't you be able to cast "Cure mutations" and just have to worry about a low success rate? If you fuck it up all you have to worry about is, I don't know, horrible mutations or something?
>>20463704Well that sounds exactly like something you shouldn't do. Careful here Blue, she might have magical compulsion or some shit.If Mark wants to throw away his freedom, let him, but it's not a good idea.
>>20463704>>20463724Yeah, I am getting some bad vibes from this, and I agree with this other facet of Chaos. Blue, let Mark do most of the talking. Up to you, but I would recommend hanging in the background, looking vaguely anxious.Be sure not to look utterly useless and terrified, though, or Princess here might...I don't want to think about it. I don't want anything to happen to you.
>>20463817>>20463727>>20463724>>20463704I agree with these facets. This practically reeks of control.
>>20463731I have a theory that there's a set amount of times I can fail a spell. That amount is determined by how much flesh I have.Which isn't as much as I'd like.Anyway I wanna see what Mark says.[Mark stands there thinking for a while.After a few minutes Lily rises from her throne and walks up to the two of them]>Lily: "Little girl? What are you doing here?""I.. I want to learn more about Magic.">Lily: "Oh?"Her smiles grows wider.>Lily: "But you already know so much. Enough to get corrupted at least.""!?">"She doesn't know anything about Magic."[She turns to Mark]>Lily: "Oh? I see. Well then, what is your answer?" >".... I'm afraid I can't make any choices without actual proof of your abilities.">"I'm afraid that's not possible. See, if I just used Magic and it didn't backfire that's not really proof now is it? And if I healed you then there's nothing stopping you from trying to use Magic to escape or harm me."
rolled 20 = 20>>20463867That is asinine and in general not a good way to look at things. There is nothing stopping you two from hurting her with magic now. You just have to worry about hurting yourselves if you do. That isn't a serious deterrent if you really want her dead.She doesn't want to cast the spell either because:A.) She can't do it.B.)It doesn't do what she says it does.C.)It lowers her value to you.I'm leaning towards B or C.
>>20463867What exactly does swearing loyalty to you consist of? How about you fix part of him, as a gesture of good faith, and to prove your abilities.
>>20463867Wait, what's she mean by you'd try to escape?Just why does she want a pledge of loyalty, any way?
>>20463867>escapeKeep those alarm bells ringing, Blue. It might even be prudent to leave right about... Now.
except for the fact that if you do manage to heal it would be obvious that you are very powerful. to the point that any other mage would be foolish to try and fight you.
>>20463907Or rather, what does she expect of someone who has pledged their loyalty?
>>20463867And if she's lying, she's got an expendable vassal. Hell, even if she's telling the truth about it, then she's got an expendable vassal she may or may not heal.
I don't like the looks of this broad, If she (or anyone) decides to get uppity and take us, I vote that we be as annoying and unhelpful as possible to make em get rid of usAlso, I have to wonder if blue can see the images we're showing each other
>>20463923I wouldn't be surprised. We're a multi-sentient fucking artifact that talks to her, there's probably psionic effects involved. Namely telepathy. Or would that be psychometry? I mean, we're an object, not a living mind...
>>20463867Oh, shit. She has magic detecting abilities. Umm...first off, are we out of her immediate sight at least? If she gets us, we can't help you anymore.Second off...the gig is up. Come sorta clean to both Mark and Princess with something like "well, yeah, I do no a little magic, but...I like to keep it in reserves. Just in case. I like it as a secret weapon."Finally...maybe ask Princess if she could partially heal one of you? Mark was the one that knew about it, so let him have a finger or two healed first. That's polite, I guess. I am a facet of Chaos, but I try to have manners on occasion.
>>20463946Or she's guessing that someone wouldn't travel with a mage to see another mage without being a mage. Don't give anything up here Blue, you can let Mark in on things after this if you need to.
>>20463946Screw that, we don't know she knows. Work on the assumption she doesn't know for sure. I, for one, think trusting her would be a Genuine Bad Idea until we have some proof of her intentions.
>>20463942If so then BEHOLD BLUE, FOR I AM ABOUT TO SHOW YOU A SCENE FROM LONG AGO, BEFORE THE GREAT FALL
Maybe she can detect the inventory spell.Mark probably knows you're a wizard by now, since we've got the shotgun but have not been carrying it.This is bad.
>>20463991You're an ass, you know that? Putting that image in her head.
>>20463867"That's ok. I think I've seen enough."Point outside with your thumb."Those buildings had people in them. Very recently. And this guy?"Point to her bodyguard"He's hiding his eye, meaning it's either corrupted or you can't heal it for some reason. You're either con artist, or your solution involves human sacrifice."Pull out your shotgun"I don't need to know your secret to kill you, so tell me: What kind of monster are you?"
>>20464007He could have just lost his eye. She might need something to work with to heal it. It might not have been taken out through corruption, it could just be gone.I'm not saying trust her, but it's a bit early to bring out the shotgun.
>>20464007You're being awfully specific. Blue can choose her own words, you know.>>20464019Agreed. And it would be tipping our hand to boot.
>>20463994>This is exceptionally badFTFYWell, unless any other facets of Chaos have other suggestions, I'm gonna get ready for hibernation again. See you guys in a few centuries. If we're lucky.
>>20464006Yes, I know I'm an ass, but that's presicely 47.52389661% of the fun
>>20464006>Lily: So Missy, what's your choice?"That's stupid. Dogs couldn't dance that well before the fall.">Lily: What?"Umm, nevermind."
>>20464007I don't necessarily agree with the response, but I hadn't caught the eyepatch. he makes a good point, she should be able to heal him if she's genuine.
"Then at least tell us exactly what swearing loyalty to you means. What's the point of that in this day and age?">Lily: "Well if you swear loyalty to me with the right spell I can make it so you stick true to your word. As for the 'point' of doing all of that.. I plan on training a army of Magic users that can some day rival that stupid ruler of Central's army.">Mark: "That's insane.">Lily: "With my abilities we can cast the strongest spells against him without fear of it backfiring"I have a bad feeling about this.She wouldn't tell us about a plan to destroy the ruler that easily.."Mark, I'm leaving. Learning Magic isn't important enough for me to throw away my freedom.">Mark: "Right behind you."[As the two of them start to head out Lily mutters something. Blue finds herself locked in place as a terrible invisible force crushes her. She can almost feel her bones bending and locking her into place.Judging by the sound of pain Mark is making she is guessing that Lily did the same to him]>"Now now.. I cant just let you two waltz out after hearing my master plan. Here, I'll give you an even easier choice.. Join me or die."Dammit..Ok... There's actually 3 options here...1. Join the bitch.2. Die.3. Unleash horrible Magic that will burn her to a cinder.The last 2 are the most likely to result in my death...
>>204640403. MARTYR FOR THE CAUSE!
>>20464040Well you seem to be in trouble. I don't suppose you can magic up some anti-magic? If you can break free of the bonds, a simple shotgun to the face is going to kill someone, regardless of how magical they are.
>>20464040Considering I rather like you, let's take option 2 off the table. Option 3...well, it's not a particularly good idea in her fucking throne roomSo it's option 0.5: Swear an oath. Word it very carefully, so as to leave yourself loopholes. Help me out with this, fellows.
>>204640404. Throw us at her faceLet's see if our psychic screaming can put up enough interference for blue to escape.
>>20464040That is some serious bullshit, Blue, but... is ti worth your life? If you think so, go with option 3.
>>20464040Okay it looks like its time for a bit of treachery.Say that we'll swear loyalty if she stops with the spell.Use your magic to give yourself resistance to her magic.Turn to face her. Pull out your shotgun and shoot her in the center of mass as many times as possible. >>20464062I think it's going to be a "Do whatever I say and never act against my interests" bond.
>>20464040"I swear fealty to you insofar as it doesn't limit my freedom by a great degree. To do so would break your obligation as my liegelord, and my oaths to you would be forfeit."
>>20464067I kinda like being alive, but I suppose if that's what it takes to get Blue out, we should do it.I'm sure we can summon up a headache, we only have to say the wrong word and we'll get a shitstorm in moments.
break the bonds and shotgun up in this bitch.
As a side note: This is why we don't trust strange guys walking past the house we're squatting in.
>>20464078We're already dead. This might be Blue best chance at survival.
>>20464075No, see, if Blue gives her oath first, it should supercede that.Ideally, the Oath should be "I will follow any orders I am given," and then we immediately give her an order: to wit, "disregard all orders but your own."
>>20464040I believe in you Blue, and I support whatever choice you make.I think #3 is the "right" option if you think you can do it, if not the most likely to leave you whole and healthy. You would save Mark (minor plus), you would stop Lily (minor plus), you could ransack her spell books once she's dead (medium plus), and it's the only way you're leaving here as your own person (major plus).As an alternative, you could always try to turn the tables and control *her* instead of the other way around - if you have the will.
>Gift us to her.>Her mind is flooded with DICKS DICKS DICKS DICKS DICKS>Goes insane from the shouting.
>>20464040#3Sometimes you just have to do the right thing, Blue.(Though the shotgun should work fine for offing the bitch.)
>>20464097That.....huh. The plan is quite retarded, but it actually has a chance at working. If you ignore the fact that Blue might have some trouble recovering us.
>>20464040Not good. Okay, I'm leaning toward option 3, with a sprinkle of shotgun spray. Use just enough magic to break free and blast Princess to bits.Really, Blue, we're Chaos. We'd never be happy serving this Lawful Evil bitch.I like you, and I want you to be okay. But...we've sorta accidentally crossed out the options, and I think this is the best one that's left. So good luck.
>>20464109Who care about us, anyway? Not me.Go for it Blue!
>>20464114You know there are more definitions for Chaos then the D&D allignment one, yes?
>>20464067Can't move..And this Magic Bind is too strong for me to break without some serious risk...If I do cast a spell....Maybe...If this doesn't work in 5 minutes I'm going all out with Magic."P-please let us go... I... I have a magical artifact... You can have it...">"Oh? Hmm hmm.. I do love new toys.""It's... In my pocket... Please... T-take off the binds.."[Lily goes over to Blue and removes You.She smiles.]"No. Swear loyalty or Die. Though... This trinket is nice. Perhaps I won't send you to battle. You can be my 'personal' servant."-Control has switches to Lily-

>>20464132Why not let them go? It would be the magnanimous thing to do, especially for a Queen of your radiance. Besides, they can spread word of your power and beauty across the wastes. Why not let them go?
>>20464132NOWScream, take over body, think of dicks, whatever it is DO SOMETHINGFOR BLUE!
>>20464132HELLO, LILY.YOU WILL LET THESE TWO GO OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
>>20464095This could work, but I think Blue is high on Conviction, low on Discipline. Good sheer force wise, but not much on subtlety.Let's face it, our powers are pretty useless here. Blue, do what you think is right.

Since she's so greedy she'll let you go long enough to take us with the intent of recapturing you as soon as she has us, since we didn't specify how long she had to let you go.As soon as she's distracted, you blow off her arms and legs - I noticed she uses her limbs to cast magic, and her helper here has an eye that's corrupted or missing so she almost certainly can't fix it herself.

>>20464172Now's your chance! Take her mind and with it her secrets!
>>20464172>Blue: "DIE!"[Lily finds herself blasted by an inferno.In mere seconds she is killed.]
>>20464172Sup?Also: Ara ara ara~
>>20464172No, wait, wait! We're spirit of chaos! We're like that, hear us out!
shall i read this fine lady some fanfiction I found?
>>20464172SHOW US YOUR TITS[repeat until compliance, once every ten seconds]
>>20464172That was just a taste of our power!Now let these two go.
>>20464180For once, shitposting fixed everything.
>>20464180Oops.I hope blue picks us up.I don't want to be left alone here again.
>>20464180[Rip her soul out of her body and slave it to our collective]Blue! Help us bind her soul so we can take her knowledge of magic!
>>20464180Um, so right now we're bondless. Couldja grab us out Blue?
>>20464132WE HAVE BEEN HOPING TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU ABOUT YOUR PLANS FOR THESE TWO.ALLOW THEM TO ESCAPE UNHARMED, AND WE MAY BE MERCIFUL.
>>20464180fuckin' pansy, dieing before I can read that fanfic
>>20464192Pretty sure that was the plan. Here's hoping she follows through.
>>20464180Woohoo. FUCK YEAH! BLUE IS THE BEST!Now she should pick us up, maybe we can eat Lily's soul. Learn her magic. Teach it to our Blue companion and she'll be thankful enough to show us her adorable face.
>>20464180Blue...scares me a little. 0.0
>>20464196FEARFUL LEGEND INVOKED
>>20464199Can't wait for her to ask us "what exactly did you guys done to her?". Shit will be hilarious.
>>20464200Yeah, I wonder if we have any powers aside from being a talking dragon testicle, or whatever.Soul eating would be nice. We might have been able to control her, if we tried that.
>>20464210Obviously, we'll have to demonstrate.
>>20464213I dunno, the consensus seems to be that she's kind of a bitch. Do you really want her hanging around here from now on?
>>20464210Miss....you don't want to know.Of course, the horrible truth is that Mark may be our next holder....we can only hope Blue was strong enough.
>>20464222But if she was MC'd, she'd be our bitch. So it's all ok.
Haven't we forgot about that eyepatch guy?
------------------------------------------------------------------------I can not fucking believe that actually worked.[Blue places You back around her neck.The Man blinks for a few moments then hastily makes his way out of the building, looking as though he just recalled something.]Spell was a bit more then I wanted it to be. Got too emotional there.>"Blue.."Crap
>>20464236I hope he gets us next so I can fanfiction at him
>>20464238Fizzlypops gollydamned.
>>20464238Did we not say to use the shotgun? Ah, well. Probably time to come clean with Mark.
>>20464238Oh no! did you get injured again! We're sorry we couldn't do better.You should probably go catch that red fellow, he might know of her secret of healing.
>>20464238Tell her that SOME OF THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD wanted to tell him from the beginning but NOOOO. Apparently honesty isn't the best policy in this chaos rock.
>>20464253that was there before
>>20464238Blue, it looks like you caught a bit of backlash on your shoulder. I hope it doesn't hurt too badly, you were amazing back there!It may be time to spill the very baked beans to Mark though. Maybe as you search through Lily's possessions for magical knowledge?
"yeah yeah i know. i fibbed."
>>20464238"HEY! EYEPATCH! GET BACK HERE!Mark, I'll tell you everything just as soon as I make sure she was actually the one in charge and not some puppet."
>>20464238Did we do a good job Blue? We did say to use the shotgun. We did what we could, and you're still pretty. We should try to eat Lily's soul. And if that doesn't pan out see if she has any books with her secrets in them.
>>20464260Yeah, but it was hidden. Blue's going to need a new shirt.
>>20464260It's bigger now.
>>20464238Damn, Blue. Sorry about that.To be fair, that was a pretty sweet fireball.
>>20464238Glad you're alive and...mostly...okay...sorry...Blue, now is the time to come clean.((Also, OP, you might want to change back to "Blue"))
Thank you. I'll admit that Magic was a bit more impressive then anything I've done before but I did pay the cost."Mark I'll explain everything later, we can't let that man escape."[Blue runs after the Man and catches up to him. She calls out to him, making him turn and face her]>"What is it girl?""You were working for Lily right?">"Not willingly but yea I worked for her.""What was her deal? Does she really know how to use Magic without it failing? Can she really heal the corruption?">"Girl, I been working for Lily for almost a year now and the only Magic that girl knows is Binding. My eye is Corrupt but Lily sure as hell didn't heal that. In fact the reason she wears those long gowns is to hide the damage Magic already did to her. I'm sorry you wasted your time out here but you did a damn good job roasting that bitch. Now I got a family that I hope is still around to check on."[He turns away and leaves]So it was just a bunch of false hope after all.Burned my shoulder for that too.Crap.What do I say to Mark? I've been lying to him this whole time. He told me everything too.
just come clean.
>>20464324And apologize tearfully.The tears and sobbing helps. Trust me.
>>20464320Time to come clean, Blue. You kind of owe it to him.
>>20464320Let us explain
>>20464314At least you were prepared for that fact - better than going into it with blind faith. We should have counseled you better on avoiding her trap though and for that we apologize.
>>20464320Don't give up, Blue. You're in a tough spot, but we'll help you search for something that will make you better.About Mark...yeah, just coming clean is probably your best bet. Admit to him that you were just lucky with the fireball, but you do have practice with using magic.
>>20464320It makes sense to hide that you're a mage in this world. I'm sure he'll understand.
>>20464320Time to come clean. Hopefully he'll understand. >>20464333This nut might have the right idea. We're pretty much pure, concentrated proof.This chucklefuck, however, >>20464327, is completely wrong. Tears and sobbing won't work unless you're willing to take off your gas mask.
>>20464320Apologize for lying. Tell him that you're sorry you lied to him about it, but that you never know if you can trust anyone. Say that you've had some bad experiences when you've revealed that you were a mage. He ought to understand.No need for tears or anything dramatic.Don't worry too much Blue, we're here for you no matter what. If there's a cure we'll find it, and if there isn't we'll still call you beautiful.
>>20464352Oh, right. My bad.
>>20464314Bind Lily's soul to us. It will be [i]hilarious[/i].Also, if you bind the souls of asshole mages to us we can expand your casting power.As far as Mark? Walk up to him, take off the mask, and tell him tearfully that you were hoping things would have worked out so wouldn't have known you were marred by corruption.Hug him, say sorry, and tell him there's no point in keeping secrets from him anymore - he asks you a question, you'll tell the truth.Then follow through on that.
>>20464388Having Lily around would be awesome.COME AND JOIN OUR CHAOS, WE HAVE INTERNET
>>20464388That's going a bit overboard. Taking off the mask and crying. Blue is stronger than that. She lied about something perfectly understandable to keep quiet, and she doesn't want to show anyone under her mask. I agree on the being honest from here on out, and answering any questions he has. Hell even a hug could be acceptable, but the mask and tears go too far.
>>20464410You've got it right, mate.>>20464388Can we even do that? I mean, I guess it's worth a shot...
If you could bind souls to yourself you would be a fearsome magical artifact.Anyway I won't show him my face but I can at least come clean about things.[She goes back inside to see Mark. He's standing there silent and waiting.She lowers the strap of cloth over her bad shoulder.]"I can use magic. I've been able to this whole time. I just..">"Couldn't tell me because you were afraid of what could happen?""... Yes."[He takes out his hand]>"I understand that feeling well enough Blue. I was hoping our visit here would change things. Sorry to waste your time.""It wasn't a waste"I was able to meet another person.>"Depends on how you look at it I guess. So.. What do you want to do now?"What do I want to do now?What should I do now?
>>20464475Search through Lily's valuables to see if there's anything useful to you and Mark. Afterwards, actually pool your knowledge with him if you can advance one anothers' understanding of magic.
>>20464475Well I guess it's back to wandering around looking for adventures.What's the next town along the way? Or maybe we could extend Mark's map further.
>>20464475Well, you don't have anywhere to go. Might as well stick with Mark there.
>>20464475Looting the mansion time it is.Also, ask Mark if he'd like to tag-team for a while. You can't face near-death situation with somebody and don't come out with it as friends, you know?
>>20464475First thing to do is loot the place. There's likely to be supplies, currency, shiny things, books, a non-poisoned place to stay for a bit, all sorts of stuff. Look through every nook and cranny. It'll probably be centered in this main building but the rest might have something as well.Stick with Mark for now, he can continue to educate you on magic stuff and I kinda like him, not as much as you of course.Afterwards, take a look at the map and we'll help you decide where to head next.
yeah check her stuff.
>>20464475Loot Lily's belongings. Plan on using Lily's stronghold...hideout...thing...as a base of operation.
>>20464475"I've been alone too long; I'll go where you go. Horrible as she was, Lily created a community of mages here. I don't know how long it will last without her, but I don't think anybody would object to us using this this place as a base. Or just looting the building.Tomorrow you can decide where I'll follow you, but tonight that place is bed."[Drag Lily's soul to the surface of our collective so we can hear her bitching about what we did to her]
"Well.. Maybe we can stick together for a bit? I mean this building is pretty nice. And I'm sure there's like a buncha neat artifacts and stuff here. We can go out on more adventures.">"Well you did save my life so I guess sticking around with you would be nice.. Sure. We'll be a team."[The two of them make their way around their new base. Together they find a room filled with books and maps. Mark says he want to check out the area for a while. Blue leaves him with his literature and explores some more. There is a mostly empty kitchen but upstairs Blue finds a working bathroom and an actual bedroom with a bed. She jumps on the bed and rolls around]A bed! Oh man it's been ages since I laid in something soft and not Magically made out of rocks and plants!Man I could just live here.. Maybe I should do just that.Just stay here for the rest of my life. Go out and hunt every once in a while.[Mark yells from downstairs]>"There are so many books on magic here! And not only that but I think there are even some Wands!"Woah.. Those are really really rare. Wands have the ability to let you cast spells without failing. I think we got really lucky beating that girl.If it weren't for you guys we'd be dead.Or worse.
>>20464676>Bed >SingularYou can flip a coint, play rock paper scissors, or share it like adults.Just ahead of time.
>>20464676No worries, happy to help.You should stash a pillow in your inventory, You never know when you'll get another chance to grab one.
>>20464676No problemo. Just one thing you could do to pay back the favor:Ask us how did we done it. Do it. Seriously.
>>20464720Also, get yourself a new shirt before you leave, no point advertising you can into magic.
>>20464676It's a solid plan, at least for the time being. You can stay here, learn more about magic, all sorts of things.As for thanking us, you did the same thing for us. If you hadn't come along who knows how long we would have been stuck there, alone, with our only company being a decaying corpse. It's much better to have adventures with a beauty like you.>>20464711The girl blew up an evil bitch with fire. I think she deserves the whole bed for that one. Besides there might be more rooms with beds or beds nearby that they can transport here tomorrow.
>>20464676Happy to help!You have natural potential, he has the technical know-how, and now you have the amassed knowledge of a magic-wielding psychopath. Hunkering down and developing yourselves to be more formidable may not be a bad idea.Plus....beds.
>>20464676Yea, probably.You should invite Mark up to share the bed with you. It's probably been years since you've cuddled with a living person, after all. Sex is optional, obviously.If you don't want to share with him, then could you show us what you look like without your mask? I don't think it's too much for us to ask.
>>20464737> I think she deserves the whole bed for that one. I'm not sure you understood my implication, there.
So can we fit a bed (or at least a mattress) in our inventory?
>>20464758>>20464756-_-Blue, just saying, but don't listen to these guys.
>>20464756Yep, we helped save your live ... I think it's time we get to see who we saved.
>>20464758Yeah, sure, let the scarred girl, who don't want to show her face to anybody, have cuddles with a stranger who is probable equally much scarred as her in king-siezed beds.Foolproof plannig.
>>20464758I understood your implication, I simply went right around it. >>20464756Blue, don't listen to these guys. Keep the bed to yourself, you've earned it. You just met Mark and they're advocating cuddling.Though I would like to see your face, look you in the eyes and thank you for finding me. Tell you, face to face, that we'll stick with you no matter what.
We can't even trust Mark yet. Sure he seems like a nice guy, but he's still alive out here, so he must be at least badarse enough to doublecross Blue if he gains something from it.
>>20464711Screw that, this bed is mine.>>20464801>>20464775....[Blue takes off her mask but quickly covers her face with a pillow.]Oh, I can't!I look terrible!
>>20464803Ever hear that you should keep your friends close and your enimies closer?
>>20464835Don't listen to them Blue, they're just being nosey.You should check out the kitchen, there might be food.
>>20464835C'mon, show us your cute face~
Oh damn I missed a bunch. Why didn't we try and take Lilly over, I wanted a body dammit. Maybe we can get this Mark guys body, You think he is cute, right Blue? We can use his body for your if you like. Also, we need to read these books. Maybe we can learn how to magic for ourselves, I don't think we can be corrupted as we have no flesh. But learning this binding stuff would be great.
i bet you look great. come on!~~
>>20464835You owe us one. And maybe it'll make you look awesome, like the dude with the corrupt eye. He was all "Haha! I'm badass looking."
>>20464835Has it occurred to you that we are, in fact, an inanimate object?We don't care if your mating frills are deformed or your plumage is asymmetrical, we just want to know what you look like.Besides, wouldn't you like to have an objective opinion on how serious it is? Wouldn't it be horrible if it was just self doubt making you feel terrible about something that's not a big deal?>both lesbatedThat... explains everything!
>>20464835Blue, we still need to do that taste test thing, just put us in your mouth for a moment, that's all we need.
>>20464867What happened to him anyway?
>>20464873>both lesbated>That... explains everything!It is a Larro quest, after all.
>>20464835Blue, please. I'm not going to force you but I would like to see your face. Let you know how pretty you really are. We're a pile of chaotic bickering voices in a rock, we're not going to judge.>>20464879He left, he had a family before he got bound and he wanted to see if they're okay.
>>20464873Given that she's said A: miscasting invisibility spells could make her blind and B: she's cast a lot of invisibilty spells to survive I think she's lost an eye.That aint' pretty, bros, we probably don't want to see that.
>>20464888Could have misted-out or completely black eyes.But I digress from the point I wished to ask about; anyone here think we would look absolutely fabulous around the neck of our own golem body?
>>20464888I do. I want to see all of her, from her teeth to her face to everything she is willing to share.
>>20464908Yeah, well that's a little bit creepy.
Actually this obsession with Blue's face is getting kinda creepy.As a side note; shouldn't Blue put her gas mask back on? After all, we can be dropped into a backpack for a moment. But if Mark were to walk in.
>>20464888No matter what she looks like, we'll always think she's pretty.We're wierd like that.
>>20464929It means more chaos for someone with self doubt issues, right? Kinda our dealio, chaos and all.Anyway, I have a (joking) theory as to the construction of the particular magic item we are; as I doubt God left heaven/hell open, I theorize that a lot of people dying in the same space at the same moment could feasibly end up creating a crystallization out of their souls, the reaction fueled by the pain and indignation of their death.
>>20464952It's implied we are older than the war with god, I still think we are an AI.Or perhaps an eldrich device from before time. Hell maybe we taught people magic in the first place, I can't remember.
>>20464903Yeah, if such a thing is even possible. I wouldn't feel good with stealing someone else's body though, even petson like Liliy's.
[Blue clutches the pillow to her face and rolls around on the bed, struggling with her decision.]No no no no noI can't... It looks really horrible! It does![Before she can actually reach one the soft bed and pillow make her drowsy, the Magic she'd done drained more then what she expected.She stops rolling around and finds a comfortable spot on the bed.]"Horrible..."[She mumbles and falls deep into sleep.]-------------------------------------------------------------------
>>20464971Pfft, only if they're still using it.[Animate Lily's corpse; have it get up and walk into this room]
>>20464976Goodnight BlueHey OP, did that 'throw us a Lily option throw you for a looop?
>>20464976Look what you did guys. You drove a cute girl to sleeping.I guess that's a good thing?G'night Blue.Hope Mark doesn't come in and steal us.
>>20464997I hope he pops in and touches us, at least.It'd be funny to see his face when we all shout "SWIPER NO SWIPING!".
>>20464976*blue dreams of mark cuddling her and being happy for once*
>>20464976Maybe she'll end up letting go of the pillow while we sleep and we can let her know she's beautiful in the morning. >>20464997That'll work out real well for him, assuming he likes a multitude of voices screaming in his mind.
>>20464976Dawww....Well, hopefully she won't mind that one of the hivemind doodled some pictures while the rest of the group was focused on keeping everyone alive. Multitasking is awesome!
>>20464991Uh... That honestly caught me by surprise. That's one of the joys of questing is just moments like that.Also the next chapter will start the same time this one started on Wednesday so mark your calendars
>>20465093Well thanks for running the quest. It is always fun having pictures to go with the story.
>>20465087That's awesome.>>20465093Wednesday, got it. I assume that's American Wednesday.
>>20465087oh my god that is beautiful...>>20465112And yes
>>20465087Yo dawg that is some dope ass fucking art there. It's so dope I'm going full on ebonics over it. Look at dat shit, yo.
>>20465093I'll be there.>>20465087That's gorgeous.
Huh, we're not in contact with her,but... Do you think she can still hear us in her sleep?Hr-hm:Iiii knoww a song that geets on eeverybody's nerves, yes on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, yes everrybody's nerves. I know a song that getts on eeverybody's nerves...
