So, as we kind of discussed at the end of the previous thread, I think it would be best to end the Quest portion of this Quest for now. So we can get on with the Life portion.

>>21099285

If this was anyone but Shy-chan, I'd confront the DM about making the puzzle too difficult. Since it IS Shy-chan, I think we should just say that we're sad we didn't figure things out.

Friend-chan is smart. HE would have probably been able to get us out of the forest.

Also, can we make it canon that Shy-chan is smarter than the average fa/tg/uy? That way, we could roll to justify her figuring something we can't out. This might help the game-within-a-game sequence next time.

Also, this is my favorite regularly-running quest. If it seems I'm critical of it, that's only because I like it and don't want to seem like a fanboy. So...thanks for running it, Simic Writer.

Yanno what we need? Some good old fashioned awkward silence.

>>21099473

Well, damn. Given that DM-bro is probably gonna give us a ride back, this makes sense. This might be a better course of action than my >>21099459.

>>21099459
To be honest, I am running it mostly for myself

I just use /tg/ as a good source of labor and ideas.

You sit there quietly, waiting for the others to resolve their plans.

It seems that, due to his excessive drinking, Orc-bro also needs a ride home. He lives in the opposite direction as you. Slutty-san is willing to drive you both, or DM-bro might be willing to drive one of you.

Wat do?

>>21099473
Oh, and dive out of the car the second it stops at our house with a "thanksbye" quicker than a jackrabbit in a wolf's den

having to face someone who read her deepest secret like it was written on her forehead would probably open some spaghetti valves in her pockets

>>21099556
Ride with DM bro

Gotta foist Slutty-san on Orcbro to keep her off of Friend-kun

>>21099459

-kun. I meant Friend-kun. Gods, why do I keep trying to make the butch Paladin-player a trap?

>>21099556
DM-bro. Any more time in a car with someone else than neccesary and we might melt.

>>21099591

This, but with more awkward silence like >>21099473 suggested.

Perhaps ending with a bit of >>21099572.

>>21099556
I say we go with Slutty what's the worst that could happen?

>>21099668
>what's the worst that could happen?
What's the--you...you...

YOU DON'T SHY AT ALL, DO YOU?!?

Seriously, spaghetti, spaghetti everywhere. Fountains are not sufficient. We would encounter geysers of spaghetti.

>>21099668
We should avoid Slutty-san like the plague, because personal conversations make us want to go Madotsuki

>>21099459
I've been enjoying it too. Most of my frustration has been with the slow post rate (understandable) and the game-within-a-game sequences. Though I haven't been participating much due to RL issues.

>>21099510
That is basically the only reason to do anything, bro.

>>21099594
In a game of pretend, he can be anything you want?

>>21099556
Voting in on ride with DM-bro. The obvious reasons apply, but he's also one of the other players we haven't had much face-time with. ...which is only a good argument for meta-reasons, but hey.

Let's ride with Slutty-san so DM-bro doesn't get the wrong impression.

lets ride with slutty-chan, to maybe learn why she is such a bitch toward us

>>21099936

>We have a good man in our life (from her perspective)
>People aren't threatened by us and think we're nice
>We're smart, and good at math and science
>We're in college studying to be a Dr.

Gee, what would tickle the insecurity of another woman there?

>>21099919
er... come to think of it, he frog-walked us into a rape dungeon just last session, didn't he? Changing my vote. Let's roll with Slutty and drunkfuck.

"... DM-bro, I dont think I should make Slutty-san go out of her way for me... do you think you could...?"

"Eh, sure. I dont have anything planned anyway. Where do you live again?"

Giving him directions to your house, the two cars set out from DM-bro's house in opposite directions.

"So," he asks you "Do you have any idea what is going on with Friend-kun?"

"...well, I dont want to intrude on his private life if he doesnt want me to..."

"Oh pish posh. You know he is your friend and would be worried if you suddenly did something. I think he would be happy if you tried to show you are caring. Or something..." He trails off, scratching his cheek.

The car pulls up to the curb. It seems you have reached your house.

"..thanks for the ride..."

"Any time. But seriously, think about some of these things."

>>21099998
quick, tell him he needs to drive us back so slutty-chan can give us a ride because we changed our minds really late!

>>21100062
in all seriousness, I guess we go inside and text friend-kun again, ask him if he's feeling alright yet?

>>21099979
to be fair we know nothing about slut-chan's personal life, she might already be a doctor as far as we know. The only thing we know about her is that she is attractive and hits on friend-kun

>>21099998
Huh. That didn't go so badly. Though it sounds like his social acumen is about on a level with ours.

>>21100074
i am voting against this, leave him alone like slut-chan told us to. its pretty obvious he wants to be alone right now.

>>21099998
I say we get our balls out of our purse and, next chance we get, man up to thanking friend-kun for all the shit he pulls for us.

>>21100104
I'd give him at least the rest of the day, yeah.

>>21100104
Yeah, alright, I was swayed by DM-bro. Y-you're right

>>21100137
dont worry, we all know how DM-bro has a way with his words

>>21100150
DM-Bro knows all about sex.

I mean seriously, he has his own fucking Magical Realm. Bitches be all over him.

>>21100166

Whizzard!

>>21100166
I swear to God, as soon as I saw that comic, I knew /tg/ would be all over it. Fucking KC Green.

>>21100197
Where did you get KC Green from this?

File: 1350090860195.jpg-(82 KB, 1280x720, 1337999143548.jpg)

>>21100166
Put that bitch in a rape dungeon. Bitches love rape dungeons.

>>21100235
Who who drew the Whizzard comic.

>>21100235
Piss forest is from Gunshow.

>>21100112
Oh, and I guess we go to bed, and stuff. Let the numbness of routine return as the backdrop to our general anxiety about people.

>>21100112
This is reasonable, though Shy-chan is no man.

Probably.

>>21100339
We can be a man, all it takes is donny osmond.

Going into your house, you steel yourself to thank Friend-kun the next time you see him.

You go to your kitchen and turn on the light, going to grab a snack. You search around until you find something applicable, put it on a plate, and move into your living room to enjoy your snack with a good book.

When you turn on the living room light, you drop your plate.

Friend-kun is lying on your loveseat with a bloody shirt and a black eye. He doesnt seem to have his eyes open.

Wat do?

>>21100601
OH GOD WHAT

faint like a boss

>>21100601

Med student mode: check vitals, deliver medical attention as we are trained to do.

>>21100601
CALL NINE WAN WAN NAHW
but with no bass drop

Cling to him until the paramedics arrive. Cry.

>>21100601
FUSS AND FRET LIKE THE WIND

Make sure the door is locked, get him a blanket, check him for other injuries, wrap an icepack in a towel and put it over his eye.

>>21100643
911 would be the standard response, but we have training and he might not want that kind of attention. Let's check him out with our med training before we decide that he needs a $1000 ambulance ride.

>>21100655
Actually, I say we do this instead. COMPETENCE MODO
>>21100643

Make sure he's breathin ok and not bleeding, see to his injuries, get him a blanket, pull a chair over to him and sit there until he wakes up/we fall asleep

>>21100643
this, but while also apologizing for not being home

>>21100601
What.

OH GOD. Panic!

Wait! Whoever beat him up could still be around! Rush to the closet for an umbrella or something to use as a makeshift weapon.

Wait wait, no Friend-kun needs us right now.
Medical Attention Ho!

>>21100643
Just want to point out, we arent actually a medical student yet.

We know the basics as much as any regular person, and we know a bit more about how it works, but we arent capable of preforming any sort of operation on our kitchen table when it turns out he needs a heart transplant.

As an example. This alright with you guys?

>>21100643
Full competence mode.

>>21100729
Yeah, just give him a once over and give him some first aid, then call the ambalamb.

>>21100729
Yeah, but this looks to be basic first aid. I think we'd know at least the basics of that, if there's any actual puncture wounds or something nasty we'll call it in.

>>21100729
Probably gonna have to wake him up then. Much easier to diagnose when patient can tell you what hurts.

Would rather not call amberlamps unless absolutely necessary.

Also Shy-chan should look into a training course to become an EMT because it pays good money and looks good on a med school app.

>>21100729
I guess if we're not competent we'd better wake him up and ask him what the fuck happened.

You carefully shake him awake.

"Ah, Shy-chan, sorry for the mess..."

"... please be quiet, I need to make sure you are Ok..."

"Oh, you dont need to worry about me, I should be fine." He sits up, wincing at the movement.

"...please dont move..."

You look at his eye, and it seems to just be a standard black eye. You ask him to remove his shirt so you can examine any damage there. He hesitates, but pulls it off anyway. You examine it and find several bruises. You dont see any wounds that would have caused bleeding.

You finish your examination and step back. While you were examining him, you didnt realize what you are doing. Now you are painfully aware of his current state. You turn away and blush. He pulls his shirt back on.

"So, Im sure you want an explanation."
You nod.
"Well, troubles at home. I am probably going to have to find a motel or something for a few weeks until my folks calm down."

>>21100876
No! Hes living with us and thats final!

>>21100876
No he doesn't.

He can stay here.

>>21100876
Fidget nervously. "Y-you could always... uhhh...s-stay here?"

>>21100876
Ask him where the blood is from

>>21100908
This works. Throw in it's the least we could do for him being such an awesome friend.

>>21100944
It's a reprehensible and backhanded way into his pants.

DO IT MOTHERFUCKER

>>21100944
change that to "you have always been there for me"

>>21101005
>>21100944
>>21100908
>>21100889
>>21100888
We have consensus we offer that he stay at our place

>>21100921
We can ask about that little thing later

"... just stay here... you can save money, I can thank you for always helping me, and then you dont have to go very far to pick me up..."

"Oh come on, I couldnt push you like that."

"...no, please stay." You add a hint of resolution to your voice.

He looks hesitantly toward the door before turning to you.
"Well, I suppose if you dont mind..."
You make his mind up by giving him a hug. He hugs you back.

You suddenly remember his bloodstained shirt and take a step back.

"...so whose blood is that..."

He chuckles. "Well, it certainly isnt mine."


You bring out blankets for Friend-kun. Then you retire for the night.

The morning rolls around. You wake up.

Wat do?

>>21101096
Make breakfast, sing while we do so, quietly.

>>21101096

Forget he's here and shower noisily.

>>21101109
seconding this because hnnnngggg

>>21101096
>>21101109
i like this

>>21101126
Getting on this train because HNG FOR THE HNNNNNG THRONE

>>21101096
Make breakfast for two

SECONDING EVERYTHING

>>21101096
we should ask why waitress-chan is wearing his bloody shirt
I am kidding guys

>>21101165
>>21101149
>>21101148
>>21101137
>>21101126
>>21101111
>>21101109
We are in agreement

>>21101096

If we take morning showers, turn our bathroom door into fort knox

No chances, we don't need to open a dimension door to the elemental plane of spaghetti

>>21101222
Im just skipping the Hygiene unless it is plot relevant.

So just assume you bathe and cleanse your bowels on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, what do we cook for breakfast?

>>21101237
Good.

Chorizo con huevos. Fuck yeah.

>>21101237
Coffee
Eggs
Bacon

>>21101291
>>21101237
I like this very nice and standard

>>21101237

We like our coffee like we like our men...

We don't know how to make coffee

>>21101237
Eggs Benedict, chorizo, and maybe some toast.

>>21101344
Yanno what they say, ya gotta break som eggs to emulsify the hollandaise

>>21101376
I thought this was a crack at getting sky-Chan pregnant, but after a quick Google search i was both surprised and a little disappointed.

>>21101237
Scrambled eggs, toast and spaghetti

>>21101430
>sky-chan
Ahn~ N-no John Connor-san, n-not THERE!

Also, we should sing living in th sunlight by tiny tim

>>21101691
SECONDED SO HARD IT'S THIRDED AS WELL

>>21101691
HAHAHAH YES

>>21101691
I have no strong opinion on this matter!

for those who don't know it maybe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCtQmwJ1WAY

>>21101237
I say that both the what we cook for breakfast and sing when doing so are irrelevant but we should check if Friend-kun is still here and if he needs something less bloody to wear

You go to your kitchen, passing by the living room. Friend-kun appears to be still sleeping. His black eye also looks painful.

You get to work. You pull the coffee pot out from the cupboard. You pull out the tin of coffee too, blowing the dust off the top. It isnt often you make coffee.

You set the bacon a-sizzlin', the eggs a-fryin', and the coffee a-brewin'.

You quietly hum to yourself as you get everything prepared.

Before long, Friend-kun walks into the room. He seems to have changed out of his shirt. That is good. At least he brought a spare set of clothes.

He stands behind you, taking in the smell of the food.

"Oh Shy-chan, you are too good to me," he says with a smile.

You blush.

When the food finishes, you dish it out onto two plates, allowing Friend-kun to pick the portion he wants.

The two of you move to the table, sit across from each other and eat in silence.

>>21102097
>Sit across from each other
Darn, should have sat next to him

>>21102097
Awkwardly try to brake the silence and ask if he wants to do anything today, as you try not to feel to guilty about you feeling good that he got kicked out so he has to stay with us.

>>21102097
Smile a lot

>>21102132
Not at opposing heads of the table. The table is rather thin, and you sat across from each other, leaving the heads open.

>>21102097

>"W-wat we gonna do on the table?"

>>21102145
THIS TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES

Start to ask him something, then accidentally touch hands as we lean forward to ask quietly, and then blush harder and draw away.

>>21102198
Of course not I mean we could follow up with something like this>>21102190

>>21102230
I like your style, you ingsrte
captcha: you ingsrte

>>21102295
Thank you sir but I just want Shy to loose her spaghetti as fast and as hard and as many times as she can.
As well as Rp a Shy lovestruck Rpger

>>21102145
I like this idea

>>21102379
I approve of this plan. Delicious spaghetti, HOOO!

Offer him your cookie! No, not that one! Well, maybe that one too. I-If hes interested, that is.

>>21102472
>>21102400
>>21102379
>>21102295
>>21102230
>>21102198
>>21102145
I think we are in agreement also we try to make physical contact when we ask if there is something he wants to do today as we feel guilty that we can spend time together with him like this

>>21102492
Yesssssss
All the hand-touching.
In fact, make a Freudian slip when saying anything and say anyone instead.

>>21102480
Damn why didn't I think of this earlier Cookies for breakfast

He reaches for another glass of coffee. Seeing your chance, you "accidently" touch his hand, then you recoil. He just pours himself more coffee.

"...so, is there anything you need to do today..?"

He finishes his bite, then says,
"No, not really."
He resumes his meal.

>>21102573
Excellent soon we shall roll I hear the call of the dice

>>21102603
Try not to cry... a lot

>>21102603
Whoops, forgot to remove sage.

But seriously, I love people who dont understand how sage works. In the kind of way that you love a retard. You cant really hate them because they dont know what they are doing, but you just smile and nod your head at them.

>>21102603
Finish eating, do some dishes, continue being heartbreakingly adorable

>>21102603
Ask him if he wants to go out and do something to get his mind off of things at home.

Do the cookies!

>>21102603
Ask about if he WANTS to do something/one
Failing that ask he wants a cookie

Its alright guys, just turn on Recursive Filtering. Works for me. Anyway.

So we ask him if he wants to do something with us?

>>21102742
Yes, ask him
>>21102660

>>21102742
Yeah that sounds about right, I mean she probably thinks this maybe her best shot and if she misses her she'll be left in the friendzone

People are so mean :(

>>21102768
>>21102749
Looking like we're gonna to do something with him or spaghetti trying

>>21102742

Ask him to go out with us... and do something fun.

>>21102859
Blush furiously when we say fun.

reporting for racism

"... um, would you like to go watch a movie or something then...?"

He is almost finished, so he finishes his food.
"Uh, sure. That sounds great. Just let me get a few things ready first."
With that, he stands up, puts his plate in the sink, and goes to the living room, presumably to get ready.

You beam inside. You are finally going on a date with Friend-kun! Except as friends. Yes, never more than that.

Not letting your spirit be crushed, you go to the kitchen and wash the dishes. You hum to yourself once more.

You finish the dishes and go back to the living room.

Friend-kun is nowhere to be seen. You hear what is probably his car pull out in the distance.

>>21102896
>Puts his plate in the sink
This nigga
Fucking people who don't put their plates in the sink when they're over at someone's house, goddamn.

And now I am going to call it for the night. It is getting to be about that time, somebody is spamming racism, and I feel like leaving you with a cliffhanger.

Monday, 20:00 4chan time.

>>21102896
That bastard.

>>21102896
I guess he needs to go get something from home.
M-maybe he's getting his stuff so he can move in~

>>21102896
Cry on the floor and imagine if that Friend-kun really liked us and not just thought we were a creepy burden.

>>21102916
Nah, I minimized all of his messages anyway. It only affected me because it was affecting other people. I would have stopped soon regardless.

>>21102984

Don't stop because of a hater :)

>>21102984
He's stopped posting, actually.

>>21102984
its cool op, have a good night!

>>21102984
Actually I don't think the jackhole even managed to slow us down

>>21102984

Always with the cliffhanger!
