After the fight with Clive, you fell onto the ground after exerting too much energy. It was your first try using a World Code, or rather, first time trying to cancel it. It took a toll on your body, causing your senses to numb and eventually you lost conciousness. Well, never DOING that again unless it's a life or death situation. Afterward, Cadencia lifted you up and carried you ALL the way back to Vernegard just using some simple buff magic and her own body. You woke up about an hour or two later, discussed some pointless stuff with Cadencia and she left the room upon hearing something about Lancastle from Drei. The two left the house, leaving you alone with Candice. Your sister went to go cook you some lunch, dinner, whatever, it was food.Now, you sit there on the edge of Cadencia's bed, trying to think things over. The World Code, Gestalt's tears, Brunstault, Candice, everything, really. You were trying to order it in your head, make SOME sense of it all.This world was starting to take its toll on you.>Go see what Candice is up to>Go see if Brunstault is awake yet>Check up on Gestalt>Go to the castle>What to do?

>>20495484>Go see what Candice is up toShe's been ignored for far too long.
>>20495484Hang out with Candice.Yandere or not, she really has missed us.
>>20495484>Go see what Candice is up toWe really need to find out how she got here.Also, we've got friends and we'd appreciate if she didn't slit their throats in their sleep in a fit of jealous pique.
>>20495522Seconding this
I wonder what's the extent of Candice power.maybe its the case of test it...we need all help possible.
You might as well go check up on your younger sister. She was cooking just in the next room. That was easy, so you just stand on up and walk forward, open the door and there she was. Candice, in her white shirt, black-vest with intricate golden 'vines' woven into it. Her black shoes in which were part of her school uniform from before. "Brother, you're already up?""I've only been out for a few hours. What's up? Cadencia show you how to cook here?" you take a stroll into the kitchen, taking a seat at the dining room table."It's not that hard." Candice moves the pan on the 'stove' which seems to have a series of small magical runes placed on it. Probably to mediate the fire that it creates. Nifty, or at least you thought so. "I'm making some meat for some Sloppy Joes. Want some? I'll get the bread in a bit.""Sure, I'll have one. Thanks." you smile, nod and prepare for the food."Alright, give me a second."'>"Hey, sis, you feel any different?">"You seem to be getting along with Cadencia... now.">"Did Cadencia mention anything before she left?>What to do?
>>20495614>"Hey, sis, you feel any different?"
>>20495614>"Hey, sis, you feel any different?"I so want to ask her about her and Cadencia, but I don't want to set her off yet.
>>20495609what is grammar
>>20495614>"You seem to be getting along with Cadencia... now."
>>20495614"So how do you feel since getting here? Any different than before?"
>>20495614>"You seem to be getting along with Cadencia... now. did she mention anything before leaving?
"Hey, sis, you feel anything different? I mean, since you've gotten here." you place your elbows onto the table and rest your face in your palms. Candice lets go of the handle of the pan. She takes a step back, placing a hand onto her chin in wonder. "A little bit, but nothing strange other than the fact that you've got women hanging all over you." her eyes turn to slit. "But... I trust you to handle yourself, so I won't do anything. I ... can't really keep pushing my insecurities on others." Candice grabs at her shoulder, clenching it with all of her strength. A faint twisting noise in the air. "I'm going to try and change, believe me." she smiles faintly."You are? I guess this world has done us both some good." that hand of yours runs through your white hair. You sit back onto the chair and relax a little bit. "Not so bad after all.. oh right, how did you get here again?""I told you. I went to where that building was burnt down, went inside... something was 'calling' me and ... I ended up coming here. It's as simple as that.""So something is up back home then? Damn." >"You sure about that... then, Candice?">Wait for the food>"I appreciate you changing, at least for my sake.">What to do?
>>20495701>"I appreciate you changing, at least for my sake."
>>20495701>"You sure about that... then, Candice?"Don't want to make her force herself and that results in her snapping.
>"You sure about that... then, Candice?"
>>20495701>"I appreciate you changing, at least for my sake."She's trying to improve, just as we're trying to not be such an ass.We should encourage that.
>>20495701"How did mom and dad take it? Me disappearing, that is."
>>20495701"I'm glad you're changing, if only for me. I'm trying to be better too.
"I'm glad you're changing, if only for me. I'm trying to be better too... oh right, I never asked, how are Mom and Dad taking it? Me disappearing, that is." a smile forms on your face."Mom was only mad that you wouldn't be there to make them look good with a job, or going to university. Dad didn't pay you any mind." Candice grits her teeth. Her hand falls from her arm back to the stove again. She grips the handle of the pan, if only to distract herself from her own thoughts. "Those bastards don't know how important you are to me. You raised both me and Sarah. They gave us a roof over our heads, food, clothing but only because they had to. You gave us everything else." Candice walks from the stove, over to you as she sits on your lap. "Thank you for everything, brother. Thank you." she hugs you once, then sits back up and goes back to the stove."I did what I could." the scent of burning meat enters your nose. Alright, you were getting really hungry.>"can I have some of that now?">Say nothing>"Hey, Candice, I'll always be there for you. Remember that.">What to do?
>>20495903>"Hey, Candice, I'll always be there for you. Remember that."
>>20495903>"Hey, Candice, I'll always be there for you. Remember that.""But wait, what's Sarah going to do now? If we're both here, then she's alone back there?"We got two sisters, remember.
>>20495903"Candice, I always have been and you better believe I always WILL be there for you, remember okay? Now when will that be done?"
>>20495918>>20495912Imoutomind
"Hey Candice, I'll always be there for you. Remember that." "That's a lie, brother, you won't always be there and I know that. That's why I have to change, I can't keep using you as a ... crutch." her voice is sullen. All life is lost, as if she's speaking of something that will never come to pass. "I think I'm fooling myself trying to change, but I have to try regardless." your sister grabs the bread, places the meet into two pieces and sets them on each plate. By the end, both of you have a single sandwich. "I'm not that hungry, so if you want mine, it's fine." she bites into it, the beat splattering on her cheeks and lips."It's fine." you take a bite of your own.The conversation continues like this for a couple of minutes. Lunch finishes up on a high note as Candice goes to clean up the dishes."So what are you planning to do today?" Candice says, smiling as she turns around, tying the apron so she can get to work."Eh, I really don't know. Maybe walk around town?""Uh.. sounds good, I guess." >Go check on Gestalt>Go see if Brunstault is awake>Go to the castle>What to do?
>>20496055>Go to the castleWe ditched Cadencia last time Lancastle stuff came up. Let's be there this time.
>>20496055Go to the castle
>>20496055We need to take responsibilty for that whole Lancaster ordeal.Castle it is.
>>20496055Find Cadencia, get the whole Lancastle stuff dealt with.
The last time you spoke to Cadencia, she said something about Lancastle and another matter at hand. You haven't seen that place yet, nor have you spoke to Aisha or Valenfor in quite some time. That last one was probably because they weren't approachable people, but that's besides the point. "I'm going to to the castle to check up on Cadencia."Candice hums to herself, nodding, "Alrighty~! I'm just going to clean up here." you leave Candice, who is in high spirits, to travel onto Vernegard Castle....Upon arriving, you don't receive any new information regarding the imprisoned Yggdrasil Holmes. He's rotting in his cell, still not saying anything. Maybe you could get Candice to interrogate him? No, that's too cruel. "No, what are you thinking." each step brings you closer to the main hall. Upon arriving, you see a few familiar faces. Kirgard, the King, Cadencia, Aisha, Valenfor and a boy with green hair, a funny hat too. Next to him is a pink-haired girl with an even funnier hat."Oh, Frederick, I was just talking about you!" Cadencia makes a smile that spells out VOLUMES of what 'exactly' she was saying about you."Hey there, Hero." Aisha walks over, hitting you in the back in a friendly manner. Valenfor just waves to you.>"What are you guys talking about?">"I heard something regarding Lancastle.">"Yoooooooooo.">What to do?
>>20496252>"Yoooooooooo."Frederick no Pico?>"What are you guys talking about?"
>>20496252>"What are you guys talking about?"
>>20496252>"What are you guys talking about?"Probably not anything good about us.
>>20496252>"Yoooooooooo."
"Yooooooooo!" you wave to the girl in the white garb decorated with red ribbons. Her hair was long, pink and her eyes were brighter than even yours. Her forearms had strange flaps, about three, marked with green. They almost resembled a bird. Her headdress went around her forehead (of course) and loops around back. Her ears were a bit pointy too. Finally you notice her eyes were slits boiling with a deep hatred. "I apologize." the green-haired man speaks up, coming between you and pinky. "This is Frederick Mercury Irving, Samsara. Frederick, this is Samsara Soverign Malkuth." that name had so many meanings back in your world you didn't know where to start."Return to the moon, you wraith!" Samsara's words were directed at Lunarians, certainly not you."Calm down, Samsara.""Tch." she turns away, the high tension still in the air."We were discussing some matters regarding a mediation between the Diya and Lancastle. That's why Aisha and Valenfor are here, as ambassadors. Vernegard is... going to be that mediator." Cadencia scratches her head. "Both sides agreed to this, so it's now our job to come up with some kind of solution." you were going to get involved in politics. This world's politics. >"I am REALLY not the guy for something like this.">"What are the Diya?">"I'm sorry, I left the Brunstault running. I better go catch it.">what to do?
"Oof. Sounds like I should just turn around and spare me the embarassment of hearing all the bad things she told you."
>>20496389>"What are the Diya?"
>>20496389"Politics? Aww shit. Okay. Okay. Brief me. Oh. And by the by, your exellency. I'm summoned; not from your moon."
>>20496389"Having to ask this probably means I shouldn't be involved, but who or what are the Diya?"
I'm sorry, I left the Brunstault running. I better go catch it."
>>20496398>>20496418These
>>20496432>>20496398We learned about them before already when we were reading through books.They're the Underworlders. We know this.>>20496389>"I am REALLY not the guy for something like this.""Cadencia is really much better for this. Someone will have to give me some context on the issue."
"Politics? Aww shit. Okay, okay, brief me. Oh, and by the by, your exellency. I'm summoned; not from your moon. Also, what are Diya?" Samsara knew that was directed at her, even though she wasn't royalty in the least."You're not Lunarian, then? I find that terribly hard to believe. The eyes, the hair. Do you color it?" Samsara's head tilts in wonder. You simply shake your head."I have Lunarians ancestry, that's it, I'm not full Lunarian. I just have the looks. You're not one to talk about hair and eyes, Pinky.""Pinky?" the Diya girl pulls at a strange of hair, then nods to acknowledge the word. "Whitey.""Oh boy..." Kirgard just shakes his head from side to side before sighing deeply. This wasn't going to go anywhere, instead he moves the conversation forward. "The Diya are people of the Sun, just as Lunarians are people of the moon. They worship a deity of the same name, which is said to be a Divine God. No one knows if he suffered the same fate as Stavros and Heevah, or if he remains alive today.""He is very much alive!" Samsara interrupts the king. She takes a big step forward, "Who are you to say he is dead?"
Kirgard promptly ignores her, "The issue here is one of land. The Diya are 'tired' of Lancastle imposing upon their territory. Lancastle, on the other hand, is tired of the Diya expanding, taking up their entire floating isle." Kirgard stands up from his throne, looking out the window. "The matter is the Diya proclaim Lancastle as a Holy Sanctuary and the birth place of Diya's children, the three Half-Gods, so the area is rightfully theirs. They also proclaim that one of those Half-Gods will destroy all of Lancastle if their demands are not met.""We don't want that." Aisha interrupts. "We can defeat Remnants, but having Half-Gods attack us? That... doesn't bode well for either of us. Don't know why you made that threat.""It's our land and you keep..." Samsara clenches her fists in anger."Your land is the Underworld, you shouldn't even be up here." Aisha takes a step forward. "That's YOUR land, Lancastle is ours. Get that through your head, Pinky. Tell her, Frederick, tell her that the Overworld is Guardian territory!">"You don't speak for me, or any other Guardian, Aisha, Shut it.">"I've read that Diyans are part of the Underworld, but it's shit down there. Why not just let them settle on Lancastle and have a truce?">What to do?
>Pinky
>>20496680We need more info. If this land was supposedly theirs in the past, how did they lose it?
>>20496680"The Gardians are supposed to protect the humans living on the island, not decide who lives on them. Also, have you been to the underworld? It's horrible. Can't you come to a truce?"
>>20496680"Woah, calm down. I'm the uninterested and uninformed guy from the universe next door. Are the Diyans demanding all of Lancastle? Is land on the island really that scarce?"
>>20496680Bring the sun to the underworld.
>>20496692pic got eaten>>20496680>"I've read that Diyans are part of the Underworld, but it's shit down there. Why not just let them settle on Lancastle and have a truce?"
>"I've read that Diyans are part of the Underworld, but it's shit down there, I've seen it with my own eyes. Why not just let them settle on Lancastle and have a truce? What are your numbers? Would that at all feasible, space- and foodwise?"
>"What are the Diya?"also politely inform the birdhair lady that we are not from the moon and don't take too kindly to them ourselves.also apologize to the Lancastle guys, I don't think we did yet. It wasn't nice of them to call us a failure, but we went overboard when we almost killed their guardian.
> MC> Diplomacy of any kind
>>20496680first things first, does the island have enough land to acommodate another people?second, the Diya is in no position to make demands, they should be bargaining, trading the land on the island for materials or services
>>20496873>yfw you and I are also him>mfw most of us aren't retardedso should we pretend to be retarded to stay in character?
>>20496895Uhm, yes?by the way, "retarded" is quite debatable.
>>20496895>so should we pretend to be retarded to stay in character?That /is/ what you call roleplaying, no?>>20496924Oh, MC is quite intelligent, just not smart or gifted with a particularly well attuned common sense.
>>20496924well yeah, but /tg/ is one of the less stupid boards, no matter what you say
>>20496971We've been constantly working on being better socially acclimated. In-game we've at least a month of dedicated 'being forced outside'.We have had character development.
"I've read that Diyans are part of the Underworld, but living conditions there aren't exactly the greatest, I've seen it with my own eyes. Why not let them settle on Lancastle and have a truce? What are you numbers? Would that be feasible at all, space and foodwise?" "What, I don't-""I didn't ask about 'you', I asked about accomidations. Is there enough space? How much is the Diyan population?""My tribe is around four-hundred.""Not a sample, a population. A census. How many people are there?""In total..." Samsara thinks to herself. "I'd say around two-thousand.""How many live on Lancastle, the main city?""Five-thousand six-hundred and fourty two." seems they had a recent count taken? Good enough for you. "Come to a true then, if it's only temporary. I'll work on something concering the Underworld.""Huh...?" everyone in the room is kind of put-off, if not shocked... except Cadencia... and Samsara."What, do you plan on making it livable?" Aisha chuckles to herself.>"I plan on destroying Darkwyrm in its entirety.">"I'll make a world where everyone can live peacefully, that's all.">"I'm on it, don't worry about it.">What to do?
>>20496971>>20496977...with "retarded is debatable" I meant that "the MC behaviour isn't retarded"
"Yes."Let's just leave it at that.
>>20497061I like it.Just a nod of the head and a note to the affirmative.
>>20497043>"I'll want to make a world where everyone can live peacefully, I might need your help though. When the time comes, can I count on your support?"We should try not to look too cocky, and still appear confident.also, when the Diyas keep insisting that they want to migrate to the island, they should contribute somethingand they should not be allowed there either way if there is not eough space for both, since Lancastle has been there first, it would be wrong to chase them out.
>>20497043>"I'll try to make a world where everyone can live peacefully, that's all."
>>20497043"I'm working on it."Leave out the details, because we don't know the details yet.
>>20497061Let's pick this, the other choices make us talk to much big shit, big shit we might not be able yet to solve.
>>20497061Cocky. I like it.
>>20497099I like this one.Also, why not suggest to Cadencia to perhaps maybe we should take some of the people in. In private at least so it isn't an open thing but if there's space on the island, why not?
>>20497174Because what they want is their sacred land, not just any island.
>>20497198I think and hope he meant people in Underworld in general.We already did it once.
>>20497217Yeah I meant in general. Not these people specifically.
"Yeah." you say so with a smile. Such confidence in your voice."But how?" Samsara asks but you don't answer anything more. You had the power to change the world, to reshape it to your whim, but not to the extent that you wanted... yet. You had to wait a bit more, as did they. You drop the subject, and Cadencia saves your skin by moving it onward."A truce?" Valenfor ponders. "Pointless bloodshed or a truce. If the king doesn't pick the former, he's an idiot." the male mage shakes his head from side to side. "Very well. A truce involving the sharing of resources on the isle of Lancastle, or as long as we can afford. We expect you to carry your own weight, Samsara, you and your people.""You're presence on the land is still-""... Pinky, it's either this, or pointless slaughter, so which is it?" Aisha interjects. She was stealing your nickname for her. That was incredibly polite! Aisha turns her head to look at you. "Playing Hero... don't think I can beat you there." Aisha shrugs and begins to walk out."Excuse me..." Valenfor sighs and moves to catch Aisha before she leaves.>Talk to Samsara: What do you say?>Talk to Cadencia: What do you say?>What to do?
>>20497311>Samsara"I know it is not what you want, but better to compromise than kill, hm?
>>20497311>Talk to Cadencia: What do you say?"Well, this seems to have concluded peacefully. "So, is negotiations also another part of the Guardian job?"
>>20497311>Talk to Samsara: What do you say?It might not be what you want but it's better than destroying your own sacred land.
>>20497311to Samsara:I hope you are satisfied with the results of this negotiation.if she just wants to bitch some more, tell her that she should take it up with aisha, if she has some serious concers we help her out if we canif that is all, we still have some meadows to relax in don't we?we didn't get to earlier after all
"I know it's not what you want, but it's better than destroying your own sacred land, right?" you place a hand on Samsara's shoulder."I thank you for your service, Frederick, was it? I am Samsara." the Diyan repeats her name, smiling whole-heartily. "I appreciate your work here already. If it wasn't for you.. uh..""Everyone would be dead, yeah, I know. My suggestion was pretty simple, I'm surprised neither you or Lancastle thought of it, instead of just going at each others throats through words.""Our relationship with Lancastle isn't exactly the best, they barely tolerate us as it is." she runs a hand through her hair. "Oh, I haven't introduced you. This is Griem." Samsara points to the boy with green hair."Hello, nice to meet you. Griem Dallenchorde at your service!" he nods a few too many times and takes his hand away. "I just accompanied Ms.Malkuth here, that's all." he shrugs.>"Nice to meet you.">"Huh... freaky hair.">What to do?
>>20497543"Nice to meet you."
>>20497543>"Nice to meet you."By the way, what did we ever do with Yggdrasil?
"Nice to meet you."Sit down."So. Tell me about your people.">>20497591Nothing. He rots in his cell and doesn't communicate at all with the guards. See: >>20496252
"Nice to meet you." you shake the man's hand. Before long, he grabs Samsara and the two of them depart Vernegard Castle. Both Cadencia and yourself follow them out, but only as far as the main lobby. They say their good-byes and go to the Inn."So that was fun." you say so sarcastically. Cadencia takes your hand, walking forward. "You passed out in the Bast Village and I had to drag you here. It's time to relax, don't you think?""Uh.. yeah, I think so." Cadencia pulls you forward again, stronger than before. "Come on then. Or better yet, let's have a race. No Guardian powers or magic, what do you say?" a simple nod in response. "Okay, ready... set..." Cadencia runs forward. "GO!""Wait a second. Gghh..." without your Guardian powers, this was going to be a chore. Oh well, you sprint after the summoner on your way to the Vernegard Fields.End of Chapter 19Sorry for the short Chapter today, but I'm not feeling well, rather tired too.
