>>23376729
We need to go give Selene a talking to about biting people. Make sure that she understands that it's wrong and that she hurt Breakfast.

>>23376729
get Selene something to eat she was probable just hungry

then tuck her into the crib

then check on breakfast

also give liz the book on enchantment and a kiss, ask her if she could figure out wear we should start with it

>>23376750
>understands
She's less than the equivalent of a year old, she won't understand, however gently scolding her is still a good idea, she's almost certainly very sensitive to the tone of voice.

Then we need to go comfort breakfast.

>>23376729
Hey, FemCOCK, if I started up a quest, would you mind if I used this basic system for it? The mechanical system, that is. It's a step up from 'everybody spam rolls and see what happens,' as far as I'm concerned.

>>23376750
she is one day old could be teething we should alchemy up some teething rings too the ones filled with water that can freeze to numb there mouth ask lin for help

>>23376803
Sure. It's just some shitty dice pool system.

>>23376821
We still need to scold her when she's done something wrong, or she'll grow up thinking she can do whatever she wants.

Only a mild telling off though, since as you said, she's probably just teething.

>>23376729
Comfort Selene, then Comfort Breakfast, explain to breakfast that Selene has a natural urge to bite due to her vampireness.

You take Selene from Liz. She clings to you and you explain to her in a calm but scolding tone that what she did to Breakfast was wrong. She looks at you with a trembling little lip and starts letting out little gasping sobs. You think she would probably be close to tears from the tone of your voice if she had eyes. It nearly breaks your heart just seeing her like that.

What do you do now?

>>23376912
I think >>23376821 this suggestion about sorting her out a teething ring is probably a good one. Might keep her from biting people any more, and cheer her up a little. Get her something to eat too, in case she did it because she was hungry.

>>23376912
make some the teething rings and get a bottle for her

>>23376912
Give her a firm hug and tell her you still love her, but are disappointed right now.

Then hand her back to Liz and go find and comfort Breakfast.

>>23376930
>>23376934
These.

>>23376912
Methinks the child hungers for blood

>>23376945
This.

>>23376930
>>23376934
And this.

You give Selene a hug. "Oh, it's okay, I still love you, baby," you say and you snuggle up to her. "You just shouldn't bit people." You head upstairs with the intent of going to the kitchen and making some kind of teething toy for her. You pass through the sitting room where your dad is tending to Breakfast, though. Her hand is bandaged up and it looks like she's been crying.

When you climb in, she wipes her eyes and creeps on up to you and Selene. "I'm sorry for scaring you," she says to Selene, still a little teary-eyed.

Your dad gives and exasperated sigh. "You don't need to apologize to her, Breakfast," he says, rubbing his forehead. "She bit you. The only reason she started crying is because you screamed in pain."

Breakfast just glares at him and then gives Selene another kiss, touching the buds on her head gently.

What do you do?

>>23376912
Reassure Selene that she is loved, but reinforce the fact that biting other people without their consent is wrong (we can teach her the self defense exception later). Ask Liz if she's been fed since biting breakfast and make her a bottle if she hasn't. Tell Liz about the books and that Carl apparently read your mind to make a point about the importance of mental protection wards while you get some foci and material to make teething rings. Make the rings without Lin, selene's your daughter and this is your responsibility. We might also want to make her some kind of a comfortable mouth guard to protect future babysitters.

>>23377027
Give Breakfast a hug.

>>23377027
"She's fine breakfast." give her a one armed hug/pet, "I'm sorry she bit you but I'm trying to use this to teach her it's not ok to bite people without their permission first." -this assumes we want her asking breakfast's opinion though

>>23377027
Feed Selene.

Wonder if we should give her a living pet and make it unable to feel pain. Would a pig be too dangerous ?

>>23377121
Yes. Pigs will eat anything smaller than them, children included.

>>23377027


>>23377049
or at least a pat on the back
tell her that babes teath and selene just has sharp teeth she didn't mean to hurt you

give dad the dryad book he is probable the only one who can read it any way.


>What do you do?

>>23376930
>>23376934
These two.

>>23377144
We could get her a piglet. It wouldn't grow faster than her, and it might get attached.

>>23377184
We live in a tower with ladders between floors. Unless you want to leave a pig down on the garden level, that might be a bad idea.

>>23377121
Hmm, the no pain thing is probably a bad idea unless we want to teach her about death (via her over draining the pet or playing to rough with it). And I don't want to start feeding her blood yet in case it has a narcotic effect on her.

On an unrelated note, I think we should get Breakfast a bikini top of something before she starts sagging. We can't fix that yet.

>>23377175
I don't think a teething ring made for humans is adapted to her fangs.
They're thin and sharp, they might get stuck, or break, depending on the material.

>>23377184
>get a dryad a herbivorus pet

>>23377213
*make* a teething ring.

We make one for her, obviously.

>>23377213
>They're thin and sharp, they might get stuck, or break, depending on the material.

We can alchemy up a strongerand more resilient teething ring.

>>23377238
Or maybe just a hunk of leather.

>>23377213
Our skin is still playable (dont't know about soft, but probably) yet impervious to her bites (yes she tried, no we didn't think of scolding her), so I'm sure MAGIC has a solution to that.

>>23377208
>On an unrelated note, I think we should get Breakfast a bikini top of something before she starts sagging. We can't fix that yet.
It has not been clearly established that wearing a bra prevents sagging.
But mostly, I think a bikini top without a bottom is inelegant. I'd prefer some sort of nightie of small dress cut in a way that supports her breasts.

>>23377206
>Unless you want to leave a pig down on the garden level
Why not ? It would make fertilizer.

You give Breakfast a one-armed hug with Selene in the other arm. "It's okay. She wasn't supposed to bite you. You don't have to feel guilty about making her cry," you reassure her. She looks at you with a trembling lip and you give her another squeeze, just to be sure. "Hey, dad? I have an old Italian manuscript about the effects of different fertilizers on dryads. Could you read through it for me?"

"Sure thing, Max," he says, nodding. "Do you want me to translate it into a notebook or something too?"

"Only if you have time. I don't want to take time away from something more urgent."

"Got it."

You climb up to the kitchen and set Selene down. She stays standing next to you, grabbing a handful of your pant leg and sucking on her hand. You start looking around for things that would make good foci for making a teething ring that's neither too hard nor too soft for Selene to teeth on with those fangs of hers.

What do you get?

>>23377346
Balls. This is me. Lost my trip in a different thread.

>>23377330
>Why not ? It would make fertilizer.
And eat ALL of the plants.

>>23377346
Leather, some ice for a soothing effect, maybe something squishy like jello or a cushion to give it a little softness.

>>23377369

and anyone who doesn't respond to it chewing on them.

>>23377401
That seems pretty good.

>>23377369
Nooo... just the bulbs and the vegetables...
We can always close the cells we don't want it to enter.

>>23377214
Pigs are omnivores. They'll eat fucking anything.

>>23377467
Stop talking already about bringing a pig anywhere near our dryads you idiot.

>>23377346
>>23377330
We should ask dad if he has any idea of the sizes of the girls.
We could offer lingerie to the three of them.

>>23377498
But, what if we have the pig contract vampirism? Then we won't have to worry about it eating plants!

>>23377531
Then we're back to needing a pet for something to drink the blood of.

>>23377346
A ziplock bag to keep the stuff on the inside from getting out (if we don't have any just use a condom, same principle), some saliva since its for her mouth and chewing gum if there's any around. That's all I got that >>23377401 didn't cover.

>>23377531
>>23377498
>>23377467
>>23377184

Is this pig crap the new "snap his neck" and "hit metal bell with dick"?

Is it just mr or is breakfast getting a bit more independent?

>>23377346
carrot, ice, anything soft plastic, chewing gum, and some sugar so its sweet and she likes it

>>23377531
We already have two pets and a child in the house, we need more house before we get more pets.

>>23377567
Every thread will bring with it a new terrible idea. We just have to show femcock that we think these ideas are dumb so he doesnt think us ignoring terrible ideas/jokes means we are voting for them.

>>23377569
We did reconstruct a lot of her brain, but we also did make sure that her previous self is gone, so we're in no real danger of her suddenly remembering who she was. She's just becoming more capable of looking after herself.

>>23377567
Will you call any idea you don't like "the new snap his neck" ?

>>23377573
Not to mention that we will have 2 more baby dryads to care soon(ish).

By the way we should talk to dad about that dude we found on our way from Lotus HQ, it could be important.

>>23377545
Again, no blood drinking til she's old enough to do it responsibly. You have however convinced me that an animated stuffed animal (which she can't harm or drink the blood of) might not be a bad idea in the future.

You get a carrot, an ice cube, part of a seat cushion, some chewing gum, and a bit of leather shaved off of the edge of a shoe.

You collect them all together. You're still feeling a bit of strain from that fuckup with restoring the books earlier. Do you want to go ahead and make this in spite of the strain or would you prefer to wait for later?

>>23377613
>Will you call any idea you don't like "the new snap his neck" ?

No, I will call every retarded idea "the new snap his neck"so that Max won't act like an idiot when Femcock make him do that to punish us.

>>23377627
Oh, have the eye-bat be an animated stuffed animal! That way it can have a sentimental connection to her stretching all the way back to early childhood.

>>23377634
What about getting our dad or someone else to alchemize it

>>23377594
Yes, and we confirmed this either last thread or the thread before.

>>23377634
Eh, we can give it a shot. It's not like this is dangerous or high powered magic.

>>23377646
this this this

>>23377634
go ask for help get lin to do it we got friends for a reason we don't need to do everything our selves

>>23377634
>You collect them all together. You're still feeling a bit of strain from that fuckup with restoring the books earlier. Do you want to go ahead and make this in spite of the strain or would you prefer to wait for later?

We will leave it for later then. Let's go talk to dad about the guy we followed before, maybe even check the dryad book together.

>>23377634
We give it a shot, but make sure Selene is well away for our work space and can't wander over

>>23377634
Let's drain breakfast a bit before.

>>23377634
All of those materials are fairly replenish-able, so I guess go for it.

>>23377634
If we get a + from each of those foci, then go for it. That's enough chance for success.
Our baby is teething now!

>>23377705 here
Also this >>23377698. Just a quick makeout ought to do the trick.

>>23377698
...next time selene takes a nap might be better...

You decide to give it a try. After all, worse case scenario, you just need to collect a bunch more foci and drain breakfast or have one of your allies try it or something.

Roll Alchemy. You get a +5 from your various foci, so I'll consider the first six linked 1d100 rolls.

You fail - not catastrophically like with the book, but still a failure. Your foci disintegrate and the rock that you had been trying to make into a chew toy remains a rock. Well, fuck.

What do you do now?

>>23377941
Go drain Breakfast.

>>23377941
Lets do >>23377671 while we wait our alchemy to recharge.

>>23377594
Yeah she definitely is getting smarter. Still she also seems to be getting less obedient, as shown by her backtalk to dad.

>>23377941
*sigh* it seems external alchemy is still not our forte. Explain to dad what you were trying to do and that you'll make another attempt later. Grab Selene and go play with the toys you made her earlier. If Liz is around ask if she's seen anyone wearing a red cap around campus and that we have distant neighbors to watch out for (don't tell her the exact location of there sanctuary). When selene starts getting try to get a quick meditation in.

>>23378012

gather up the same foci again and take them to liz or lin and ask them to do it for us we got people around for help for a reason.

>>23378091
Eh, we could, but I don't think this is too high a priority

>>23377941
If dad's not busy ask if red caps (or hoodies, can't remember the article of clothing) indicate membership in any guild

>>23378130
what else do they got to do better that take 5 minutes to make something so the vamp totethed toddler has something to chew on?

>>23378196
better question for liz and lin see if they remember any one wearing that in class

>>23377941
We could consider using our jail cells to snatch up one of two of the lower grade mages, Destroy their minds to that of an animal, and chain them to the wall in the jail cells, feeding them only enough to support themselves.

So that our daughter can feed if/when she wants to.

Or, you know, Dad can go out and get a goat or something.

>>23378227
Actually, I'm betting we ran into a second or third circle student. We don't have the skill (I think) to do that door illusion/hiding trick but if they were a fourth circle or up I'd expect them to be teleporting instead of free running. That also might have need a society sanctum (though one would expect those to be better warded and guarded) for all we know.

>>23377941
Ask Dad about making a surveillance construct? We could plant it where the guy went through the hidden door, if it's discovered we could make it self destruct or teleport away so it can't be traced.

>>23378280
Howndoesnthis teach responsible behavior? We want to be able to take our daughter home to new York with us without eating the neighbors/by standing pedestrians/cabbies/city pets and wildlife/our mom...

>>23378329
Implying we couldn't whip up an illusion ring like nothing
we should get on that eventually

>>23378329
In the same vein that you teach her of her life and ours. We can ask our father of some of the unsavory things that he'd done here, as well as in the real world. Something about the archmages creation involves survival of the fittest, the strong tear eachother apart, the meak getting caught in the crossfire.

Its all about understanding who we are, who we will become.

>>23378373
That's true. We need to get Selene a disguise.

>>23378280
We've established so far that she doesn't actually need blood though, she's perfectly happy on less troubling to obtain food.

>>23378388
>In the same vein that you teach her of her life and ours. We can ask our father of some of the unsavory things that he'd done here, as well as in the real world. Something about the archmages creation involves survival of the fittest, the strong tear eachother apart, the meak getting caught in the crossfire.

But Max DOESN'T like that survival of the fittest crap, so I doubt she would want to teach Selene that kind of morality.

>>23378407
We could just raise chickens and have her feed on those. Plus we get deelishus chikkin. Only problem is that while chicken shit makes good fertilizer, nothing quite shits like a chicken.

>>23378437
That could be a good idea, chickens for her and for us, and free fertilizer.

Any we don't use up we can dispose of by teleporting it directly over Sanjay's head.

>>23378437
>We could just raise chickens and have her feed on those

SHE DOESN'T NEED BLOOD, WHY MUST WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO GIVE IT TO HER

>>23378484
Chickens would be handy for us too though. Meat, eggs and fertilizer, plus chicken blood, feathers and such would probably be handy for future disposable foci.

>>23378437
We dont even know if she needs blood. The biting has thus far been because of teething and want of normal dryad food.

Fuck, for all we know the fangs are for aphid-like plantsucking, not bloodsucking.

>>23378388
Even if I agreed with the survival of the fittest ethos, wouldn't you agree that attracting the attention of more powerful predators by being impulsive and sloppy is a bad idea? I'm trying to make sure we teach restraint, not make her ashamed of her vampire heritage or preventing her from using her gifts. But there is a time and place for such things and she should damn well know better than to indulge when it is neither.

>>23378484
Misconceptions and posters typing while not seeing the very recent posts such as yours. Relax.
Delicious chickens though.

>>23378516
She doesn't need blood, it's just an except able alternative/supplementary form of nutrition

You collect up the ingredients again, then put them in a baggie in the freezer so the ice won't melt. You head off and find Lin, who is in the exercise room working out with some of the lighter free weights. "Hey, could you try making Selene a teething ring? I put some foci away in the fridge downstairs," you ask.

"Yeah, if you want," she agrees.

"Cool, thanks. You might want to grab Liz if you want a helping hand. I'm all tapped out."

You then head downstairs, back to your dad. "How's the book coming? Have you found anything out about the ingredients that we're still planning on getting?"

"I haven't found anything about kraken," he says. He's barely half a centimeter into the massive tome. "I did flip through and find something about using Jotunn parts, though. What would you like to know?"

What do you ask him?

>>23378574
tell us now or face our wrath, you dirty old man!!!!

>>23378574
"Will it make the Dryad really huge or something like that?"

>>23378555
>it's just an except able alternative/supplementary form of nutrition
Ignoring “except able”, we dont even know how acceptable blood is for her. Very few plants are carnivorous and even if she did inherit some minor vampirism, it might manifest itself in plant vampirism rather than a bloodthirst.

Once again, we have absolutely no evidence that she craves blood or that it would even be beneficial to her. Lets focus on getting her teething without perforating poor Breakfast before we start coming up with another bugfuck retarded scheme.

>>23378574
>"I did flip through and find something about using Jotunn parts, though. What would you like to know?"

"Don't be a tease dad, split it out. Did you find anything about using dragons and phoenix body parts?

>>23378574
of course also vampire blood would be great to know about as well thanks a bunch

>>23378574
How big will they make her? We want her to still be of a feasible size to stay in the tower after all.

>>23378616
This.

>>23378597
>>23378647
Ask these.
>>23378628
Also knowing whats up with Selene would be helpful, so tell him to keep an eye on that.

>>23378616
Well, even if she doesn't need blood, chickens are still a decent idea, provided we can deal with unholy amounts of chicken shit

>>23378750
>chicken shit
You mean free fertilizer?

>>23378822
actually, that's not a horribly bad idea...

>>23378750
Chickens aren't a bad idea. We can keep them in one of the cells.
If we run out, teleport more in.

>>23378750
we would need a coop first

>>23378822
>>23378836
You don't understand. NOTHING shits like a chicken. It gets everywhere. No exceptions. All walls and orifices of wherever we keep them will be completely covered in shit. Whenever you turn your back, they will have produced a shit smear in 3 places they can't have possibly reached. They will shit in their own water supply, even the kinds specifically designed so that birds can't easily sit on them. They will intentionally, deliberately, and uncomfortably back their assholes up over the opening, and fill their drinking water with shit. They will perform feats of horrifying acrobatics and shit into each other's birth canals. NOTHING shits like a chicken.

Additional (dick bell interface stupid) bonus points: key the excess chicken shit disposal chute to Sanjay's spiritual signature, cause him to become tormented with bi-weekly shit rains.
Is... is that Wetworks Wetworks?

I feel genuinely bad for having thought of this.

>>23378909
then we would defiantly need a coop rather than letting them roam free

>>23378909
sounds hot how many dozen are we getting?

>>23378909
We could create a chicken-keeper construct. That constantly cleans the chicken coop, giving them food when needed.
We wouldn't have to do anything apart from killing one every now and then.

no chickens

>>23378947
It would quit.
>>23378926
They'll shit through the chicken wire by about 3 feet
>>23378930
I've seen a scat fetishist call chickens disgusting.

>>23378955
give us a reason....

>>23378966
Ok. We get it. You hate chicken shit.
That's why we have MAGIC to get rid of it.

>>23378966
Were your parents killed by chicken shit when you were a child?

I can't think of any other reason to justify this level of horror.

"Well, what kind of effects will it have? Will it make her too big?"

"Well, first of all, according to this, the largest any dryad has ever been known to get is, in metric terms, about three meters tall. That might have changed since when this book was written, but the entry for Jotunn says to expect two to two and a half meters."

You breathe a little sigh of relief. "At least she'll be able to fit indoors."

"Yup. Aside from that, it just talks about basic affinity for cold, inhuman toughness, great strength - basically what you would expect from something that could punch one of the Aesir in the nose and live to tell about it."

"Have you found anything about dragons or phoenixes?"

"Sorry, Max, haven't gotten that far yet. I can tell you if I find anything, though."

"I would appreciate that," you say. You notice that Selene is now resting her head on your shoulder, her little arms clinging to you only limply. She hasn't been clicking for a while now, and her breathing is deep and slow.

What do you do?

Let's get a goat instead.

>>23379020
Is she asleep or is she lethargic?

>>23379020
She needs blood. Get some chickens in. Use a pin in it's throat to drain the blood.
Use a small amount, see if she reacts. Then keep giving.
If it turns out she needs human blood, that could be very complicated.

>>23379034
Then sacrifice it to increase our demonic powers.

>orvnlaId them
We will orvnlaId them so hard.

(Because apparently we need to clarify, this is not a serious suggestion)

>>23379020
put her to bed she is probable all tucker out then find breakfast and eat

>>23379034
And build him a tower.

>>23379068
No. She was grown with the blood of a vampire lord. She needs blood. We can use chickens/goats or maybe some other form of blood that can make her stronger.
I don't imagine she'd need human blood, since she's a Dryad.

>>23379020
Dad, before anything else can you look at the section on using vampire lords, we need to see if Selene needs blood or something.

>>23379020
Ask our dad to make sure to check on Vampire Lords as well in the book, just to make sure there aren't any surprises still to come.

>>23379093
we don't fucking know that till dad is done with the book so chill the fuck out its a toddler they eat sleep and shit just chill the fuck out its all good

>>23379095
this

and perhaps we could ask dad or breakfast to give a little bit of blood to Selene

"Make sure to check the section on vampire lords too. I have no clue whether or not she needs blood in her diet or something," you say, patting her gently on the back. She yawns and snuggles in a bit more.

"Will do, Max. This thing isn't especially organized, though. Seem like it was written in order of testing, rather than in alphabetical order or something."

"Well, whenever you find it, I'll be interested to know."

"Was there anything else?"

Was there?

>>23379005
If you'd worked with chickens, you'd understand

>>23379020
Get our dad to check vampires as a priority. We need to know if she's going to need blood. There's a possibility what we've been feeding her isn't providing the nutrients she needs, and more importantly, with how fast she's growing, she's going to need a lot more food than a regular child.

>>23379171
I think that was everything.

Check to see if Selene is sleeping, if so, put her to bed for a while and go read the other books we got from the library.

>>23379144
Let's do that ourself. Use a knife, stab our left forearm just a bit with the point, and make her suckle from the wound.

But there's no hurry, now that she's sleeping.

>>23379171
use alchemy/sorcerry to magically find it? Write vampire lord on a piece of paper as a focii

>>23379093
Speaking of which, does Selene just... fart oxygen instead of shitting?

>>23379208
are you forgetting our magical tough skin? it might actually be hard for us to stab ourselves

Don't give her blood unless it's confirmed she needs it. Which doesn't seem to be the case so far.

>>23379225
then feed her our butt-period

Care for vamplord infants might be topic to study folks.

I still think the pig idea was not a retarded one. It's cleaner than chicken, it's easier to bite, it's longer-lived...
We can just rewrite its mind like we did Breakfast to make it harmless.

For fucks sake, we have a dryad mutation bestiary, wait until we learn if vampire hearts make them need blood.

No feeding her blood until we know if she needs it or not.

Since she isn't dying from lack of blood, I think it can wait while our dad reads.

Because are skin is harder than steel?

"That's everything for now," you confirm, heading on down to put Selene to bed. You put her in her crib, tuck her in, give her a kiss, and turn on her UV hydroponics lamp. She looks like she's sleeping soundly and enjoying basking.

You head back up to the sitting room and take out the books you got from the library. Now's as good of a time as any to start reading. What do you go for, the book on sensory possession or the book on simple elemental construct design?

Construct design. That plan for stuffed animal familiar for selene is too good to not do.

And I proposed to nick it with a knife and let her suck from that.

Not that I have anything against waiting for that to read aboout vampire dryads before doing that.

>>23379410
sensory possession
I thought liz would help us with the constructs

It's probably best if we introduce Selene to the sensory hijack thing as early as possible, isn't it?

>>23379474
She has to be old enough to be taught first. But yes, we only have a month or two to learn it for ourselves before we need to start teaching it to her.

Why not both?

You decide to study the material in the book on sensory possession first. It's a thick, heavy tome written in detailed, florid English about arcane, intricate concepts. It is also apparently translated from a long scroll originally discovered by Europeans in the Congo, so there's that additional confusing layer to the materials.

You head down to the kitchen to get yourself some food. When you arrive, you find Lin and Liz chilling, a teething ring on the table. "We got it made," says Lin proudly.

"I can make you something to eat, Mistress," says Liz, standing up and getting started. "I'll make something for myself and Lin too."

"Thanks, both of you," you say, pocketing the teething ring and heading downstairs to talk to your dad. "Hey, I spotted someone earlier. They were wearing a red hoodie and I followed them to some kind of sanctum."

"Do you think they saw you?" he asks, giving you a worried look.

"No, I was quiet and kept my distance and they didn't give any sign that they knew I was there. I left rather than following them in."

"Okay. Was there anything else you wanted to talk about then?" he asks, relaxing.

What do you do?

>>23379797

I think it's a permanent enchantment of the wall, not necessarily dependant on this guy's skill. Like the one that allow us to pass through solid stone to enter the Lotus house.

I don't think someone of a higher circle than us would have let himself be seen on the way.

"Do you know anything about the area where this place was?" you ask.

"Sadly, no," he says, frowning. "Aside from what specific enemies I had and located during my stay here, I don't know much about the specific locations of anything other than school facilities."

"And that brick trick, what was that?"

"Just some kind of permanent alchemy ward keyed to their hand print, by the sound of it. Not too hard, but also not something you would expect of a first circle."

"Are we related to Merlin?" you ask with a smirk.

He chuckles. "Not as far as I know, Max."

"Okay. Thanks for the help. I'm going to go tell Liz something that the head of my society asked me to pass on."

"Okay, Max. I love you."

"Love you too, dad," you say before heading back up. You sit down at the table while Liz finishes cooking and talk to her. "Liz, the head of my society told me to tell you that, for him, becoming an archmage wasn't worth the personal cost it took to get there and the personal responsibilities he gained."

"I... What?" she asks, startled.

"I don't know. That's all he would say."

"Oh. Well. That's certainly something," she says. She finishes cooking in silence, then serves it up for everyone. She gives you a smile, but it's clear that what you said is on her mind.

>I think after dinner we should give ourself a small cut with a knife and let Selene get some of our blood in her diet.

>>23380294

>>23380294
Of course we are going to support her. I want to get to 6th circle to get the maximum personal power without getting saddled by their duties, and staying out of the Archmage rivalries, at least for a little while. That said, we'll have to see who is still left when we get to the 5th circle. Because some of the current students we shouldn't be willing to let graduate.

We should probably ask her why she wants to be the archmage so badly. If it's power she's after, a lot of the mages that fail stick around to continue learning. Also need to make her consider what she's willing to sacrifice to do this

She already knows that.
Don't say "if she does decide". She already took the decision. All that's left to do is support her, and ensure that if things go sour she can escape.

>>23380331
no blood drinking

>>23380374
Apart from her fangs, her vampire heritage, and the fact that she already tried to drink someone's blood?
It could go either way, but there's certainly reason to suspect.

>>23380374
>THERE. HAS. YET. TO. BE. ANY. EVIDENCE. THAT. SHE. DRINKS. BLOOD.
Except for her vampire fangs and her tendency to bite when she's hungry, you mean ?

You put your arm around her and give her a squeeze. "Hey, no matter what you decide, I'll be right there with you to support and help you," you say, smiling at her. "I'm not going to try to beat you out, and I'll make sure to help you achieve whatever you set your mind on."

"Thanks, Mistress. I really do appreciate that," she says, smiling at you. A little of the tension eases out of her face.

Lin gives a little laugh. "You two are adorable. You should eat before your food gets cold."

Everyone finishes eating fairly quickly. You think this is probably Lin's only meal of the day too.

What do you do now?

>>23380446
Agreed. To pull off our plan we need to have the personal power of an archmage without being one. Which should be our goal.

Shes teething. Its like youve never been around a baby. Those things stick everything in their mouth.

>>23380468
>tendency to bite when she's hungry
All babies gum at things when they're hungry, most just usually don't have fangs. See above for the fang situation. Thus far all she has eaten is that nutrient drink we have fed her.

"So, what do each of you plan to do once you're done at the Scholomance?" you ask.

"Take over all of the organized crime in South East Asia," Lin says seriously, then laughs when Liz looks at her shocked. "It probably depends on what the occult world turns out to be like out there. What opportunities I have available, you know? What do you guys plan to do?"

"Well, if I make it to archmage, I'll apparently have responsibilities, so I'm not sure there," says Liz, frowning again. "If I don't make it to archmage, though... I don't know. Settle down, start a family? Teach, maybe. What about you, Mistress?"

"I'm considering starting my own school that's less... Deadly," you say. Liz's eyes light up when you say that. "Maybe on the moon or the bottom of the ocean or somewhere crazy like that. If we have a cave bigger on the inside, it's clearly not impossible. Aside from that, I have all kinds of family to take care of all of a sudden. Hey, listen, we should work on some kind of portable wards to keep people from wrecking us by teleporting our hearts out or teleporting magma over our heads or something."

Everyon's mind immediately goes to the vampire lord's heart. "That's a good point," says Liz, thinking out loud. "What do you have in mind?"

"Maybe some kind of magical tattoo wards," you suggest.

"Like what Pavana has?" asks Lin.

"Yeah, sure, something like that," you say.

"How do you want to do this?" asks Liz. "Research or asking her?"

What do you say?

Both would probably be an idea, ask her next time we're at the Lotus, and do some personal research in the meantime.

Besides, we already began skin hardening. Good luck getting a tattoo gun to work on Max now. We'd have to use sorcery to enchant the gun to make it have enough force.

>>23380898
Or get Pavani to do it with some Maori style impact tools, if she can ring the bell consistantly, she can certainly punch into into our skin. This way we get to avoid the almost certain train of nat 1s that covers our body in ICP tattoos.

>>23380759
Huh, probably too late to contribute but I'd been thinking about this while I was gone. FemCOCK, could we self alchemize to improve/reinforce self integration or internal contiguity as a means to prevent someone teleporting us piecemeal?
