Give him a handjob.

>>23793459
no Liz would not like that plus it would just teas that he couldn't fuck us.

Does anybody actually have any idea of what we can do for him?

Sex is out, his duties as far as maintaining the tower we can't really give him a break.

He can probably cook a million times better than us. I get it's the thought that counts, but mushcakes aren't exactly stellar.

>>23793459
Nope.

>>23793514
Seriously, I'm drawing a blank, we don't really know a great deal about what he's into, besides giving the D.

>>23793514
Get him a worlds best Dad mug.

>>23793514
>>23793523


Well, we were talking at one point about giving him a vacation after we went to Paris and hung out with Sam. Maybe bring that idea up to him, see how he reacts.

Rolled 97

>>23793405
Get him a baseball and a pair of Mitts, he may not have been around to play catch with us as a kid, but that doesn't excuse him of the requirement.

and the chance to do something that he had previously missed out on should make him feel better.

It sucks, but we might actually want to ask Lin if she has any ideas, she's spent more time chatting with him than we have, since they have all those historical stories we weren't around for to bond over.

An enchanted World's Best Dad mug that will fill with whatever beverage the drinker wants.

I don't think anything fancy is in order. Lets just spend some time with him. I propose we make some smoothies or something and go play with him and Selene. When she gets too tired we can just talk to him for a bit. Get to know him better. Tell him about our life before the scholomance.

>>23793538
...we'd have to roll soul to keep him from thinking we're trying to get rid of him. (I'm starting to think some anons want to get rid of him)

>>23793536

>>23793459
No
>>23793405
Lets alchemy him a mug or some other cheesey shit a kid gets a parent at a young age to make up for lost time. Have it say "I <3 Dad"

> captcha: peuserv Handy
Oh captcha you so silly

he likes music
>>23793514
we could cook something it is more the thought that counts.

We can alcamize him a tie it is the symbolic bad fathers day gift and if he gets the joke he will know we love him but dont know what he wants.
The pattern on the tie can be I love you Dad in the word.

>>23793538
Well how about this.

We could suggest taking a father daughter vacation somewhere together, after the Paris trip.

His choice where he wants to go.

>>23793405
Guys. He wanted to FUCK his DAUGHTER. Not exactly number 1 dad stuff here.

>>23793538
But he has to constantly refresh the wards. He can't go on a long vacation.

The people saying make him something, take a look at what just happened with the collar. Look at our strain values. Nothing's getting made fast.

>>23793569
Isn't he planing to play with Lin once Mulan ends and Breakfast can watch Selene? You seriously want to cockblock dad tonight?

>>23793607
and Max kind of wanted to fuck him, remember, he is an incubus, and apparently that stuff is more common in incubus families. We can't really fault him for it.

>>23793607
To be fair his daughter also wants to fuck him and he and his daughter are both sex demons

>>23793602

If we can find a way to keep the wards up while he's gone, I think this is a very good idea.

>>23793615
To be honest, I think he'd probably enjoy spending time with us over giving Lin the dick.

He can do that whenever, and his relationship with Max is clearly very important to him.

>>23793580
something praising him is condescending but something that is in the pure I love you vain like >>23793586 or >>23793581 may work.

>>23793602
This is a good idea, we could even suggest working on summoning and binding a more powerful spirit to the wards so he can go on vacation as a shared activity.

>>23793641
Easiest way is to bind a powerful Spirit entity. Any of our classmates meet that description?

we could do prank calls with him in which we call the person on the other end a faggot in the word

>>23793665
>incubus and his half-incubus daughter prank call the pope

>>23793613
Even better if we make him some shitty lopsided, "it's the thought that counts" type mug

>>23793663
Let's just summon one up, we can work on it tomorrow with dad, so that binding it is also a father daughter activity.

>>23793677
>prank calling the pope

Can we do that? I'd really like to do that.

>>23793739
I don't think the pope takes personal calls, he probably has a secretary for that.

Make him cookies.

That is the best gift and you guys know it.

>>23793739
>>23793753
not to mention the Malius Malificorum and Dextra Domini probably wold get pissed at 2 demons prank calling the Pope it would be hilarious but to risky. Prank calls though may be fun.

>>23793602
>>23793641
>>23793659
>>23793703
I second this, spend some time tomorrow summoning and binding a more powerful spirit for the wards with dad. Then we can go on a father daughter vacation after the Paris trip.

>>23793772

You crossed the funny line and went into psychopathic territory again.

>>23793806
we can use it to scout and secure the location for Selene's day out.

>>23793814

>Hello, this is God. You must purge the nonbelievers.

Guys, cookies=love.

>>23793862
Ok then, let's make cookies.

>>23793847
>Because some of them might actually do it.
That's the point.

>>23793847
>And we try not to be evil when we dont have to be.
Blatant Boring Quest

>>23793860

Any reason why Amsterdam in particular? Does dad speak Dutch?

>>23793894
Hookers and drugs

>>23793894
Probably.

I was more thinking that Max and Dimitri could hit the red light district, get baked and take in a live sex show or something.

Precious family memories.

So what are you guys doing, then? What's the consensus?

>>23793882
>That's the point
Yep

>>23793916
Make cookies seemed popular.

>>23793916

Make cookies and talk about a trip with dad.

>>23793843
>THIS IS THE SUN SPEAKING
So Max is what caused that one kickstarter to fail. Neat.

>>23793916
Cookies.

>>23793916
I'm for suggesting we summon up and bind a better spirit tomorrow, and explaining that when that's done, we can take a Father Daughter vacation after the paris trip to a location of his choice as thanks for all he's been doing for us.

>>23793894
He's probably working under the assumption that Amsterdam is a magical land of weed and free drugs, apparently unaware that an extranational found in possession of psychoactive substances in Amsterdam is subject to immediate deportation.
They really DON'T like their reputation.

>>23793916

>>23793916
Discuss a potential father/daughter outing over cookies.

>>23793916
We're baking cookies.

Do try to not burn everything.

>>23793916
Suggesting a trip with dad, although the cookies are fine too, we may as well pile on the appreciation.

>>23793937
Really? Because I've been stoned out of my mind on the streets of Amsterdam several times, and nothing was ever done about it.

Trip with dad and cookies.

>>23793968
Yep

You decide to bake cookies for your dad. After all, what better to have for discussions? Beers, maybe, but you don't exactly have time to make beer.

Important question, though.

Do you cook with a recipe, measuring, and planning, or do you cook with love, soul, and by taste?

>>23793977
They actually passed that? Goddamn.

Oh well, at least I got a couple of good vacations in beforehand.

>>23793999

>>23793989

>>23793989
We use a recipe. Get it from mom and maybe talk to her a little about how we utterly failed at everything today. Who knows maybe she'll have some advice.

>>23794008
Because our soul stat is higher than our mind stat.

>>23794001
At one point fem is going to introduce a character who has made all of Snapples retarded inventions and somehow managed to not kill himself.

I gots the feeling in my bones, and it will be funny as fuck.

>>23794023
We would actually get more mind rolls from our augmentations.

>>23794039
Yeah, but maybe incubi can sense the difference between Love cookies and mind cookies.

>>23794020
Hmm, mom's cooking equals love (if she can cook...).

>>23794047
But can Incubi see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?

>>23794069
Because they can rise above the oppressive shackles of the divine, obviously.

>>23794069
Nobody can see why kids like cinnamon toast crunch

>>23793989
a recipe, measuring, and planning what mad person wouldn't use this

3/4 brown sugar and normal, 2 sticks butter 2 eggs bit of vanilla extract beat the shit out of it

add 2 and 3/4 cups flour, with a table spoon baking soda and a tea spoon salt

mix together with chips (dark chocoholic and peanut butter)

roll into balls slightly bigger than a quarter bake at 350 for 13 minutes

>>23793882
>cookies good

the phone is one of your bad ideas at least in that application.

>>23793989
Wait, do we have a fully stocked kitchen for this or are we cooking with alchemy?

>>23794128
Cookies don't exactly take exotic ingredients to bake.

>>23793514

Handjob or blowjob is fine.

>>23794210
that totally wouldn't be awkward after we've said no to sex AND just kinda accused him of not being our real dad

>>23794210
You know, I have never supported max-Dimitri incest but I really want to know, why are all the supporters proposing us giving him a handjob, blowjob etc instead of the other way around? Just curious.

>>23794210
>>23794231
Not to mention it would start a shitstorm again. Lets just let that one stay the way it is.

>>23794270
Cause he's a guy and doesn't like cock in his mouth. (we assume)

>>23794231
>>23794270
>>23794274
I think at this stage most suggestions for incest are just trolling, and you always fall for it.

>>23794303
He was (probably) Petrov's lover, so I kinda doubt that. Also, why would sex demons discriminate?

>>23794310
Because we're afraid of what happens if we don't say no.

>>23794310
I think its just a bunch of folks (myself included) that feel cheated by the dice, damn those soul rolls. I still want Max to get fucked by Dad, but I'm waiting until him and Liz get some bonding in.

>>23794270

Because he's a born male. Besides, Max can take it up the ass too, the feeldo is proof of that.

>>23794231

No to sex IC or OOC? OOC can easily be dealt with, IC we need Liz's permission/involvement for the full stuff. IMO, something as small as a handjod shouldn't need anyone's permission (except for the owners of the hand and penis).

>>23794310

I'm personally all for incest, but it doesn't seem like the rest of the thread is, and Liz is against it. So I don't advocate for it. Also I wasn't the one who brought it up.

We should be making cookies, goddamnit.

>>23794340
This. As with every other shitstorm.

>>23794341
And a bunch of Folks still:
1. Aren't convinced that you even had a majority for going to Liz. (I know I think it was the other way).
2. Really tired of having to constantly win the argument all over again.

>>23794350
I'm all for it, but this isn't the time.

So yeah, let's make some cookies.

>>23794310

You're wrong. I always push for Max-Dimitry stuff.

>>23794363
1. Incest side had the entire IRC on its side, we had a clear majority.
2. You never won, the dice said no.

>>23794377
I think that the people who dislike incest won the argument twice, and shouldn't have to fight it a third time.

>>23794407
IRC isn't the entire user base. A lot of people can't or won't use it.

>>23794413
>won the argument twice
You mean won random dice rolls twice?

>>23794413
no they won the first and lost the second, then the dice cock blocked us

>>23794422
No, but it was a large portion of them.

>>23794433
That's not how I read it.

Are we really doing this again?

Really?

FUCKING REALLY?

>>23794446
Are you literate?

Cookiemind.

The popularity of this quest is going to kill it someday, I'm afraid.

>>23794460
We'll keep doing this as long as people keep suggesting to have sex with our dad. Even if we by some catastrophe actually go through with it people will still try to end the relationship at every opportunity.
>>23794462
Yes.

>>23794460
Yeah, this is a little early. It usually takes more than 30minutes after Fem's last post for the inevitable implosion of bored anons to occur. We can only blame ourselves for impatience.

>>23794495
One of the many reasons why having sex with him is a bad idea.

You decide to cook by taste with love.

You end up cooking to taste using the ingredients you have on hand. The result is a full plate of soft, crisp, buttery sugar cookies. They turn out great. You take the plate and climb down to Selene's room, where your dad, Lin, and Selene are still watching cartoons together. When you walk in, Selene turns towards you, sniffs the air a few times, and asks, "Wat dose, mama?"

What do you tell her?

There is not an existent being that doesn't love cookies. Everything loves cookies. Galactus loves cookies. Why do you think he eats planets whole? He just can't wait to eat all their cookies.

"They're cookies. I made them to apologize to grandpa for hurting his feelings," you explain. "If you ask him really nicely, he might let you have one, though."

Selene immediately turns to her grandfather. "Pleeease can I grandpa?"

"Okay, sure," he says, smiling at both of you. "Go ahead."

Selene runs up smiling, grabs a cookie, and sinks her teeth into it. As she chews it, her face quickly goes from a look of excitement to a look of disgust. She sticks her long-ass tongue out, still covered in half-chewed cookie, and says, "It's bad! It's really bad!" She starts pawing at her tongue, trying to clean it all off.

What do you do?

>>23795342
"I guess maybe cookies aren't for you, don't worry sweetie, I'll get you some burger later."

Hopefully Selene's bad review won't put Dimitri off.

Yeeeeaaaaaah. Ask her if she'd like a burger instead.

I really hope this is just her dryadness and not us accidentally dropping a gymsock in the batter.

Don't say that. If something tastes really bad to her she should tell us so we aren't forcing her to eat things she hates.

do what we just did but add some blood instead of butter that should help them hold together

>>23795431
That wouldn't work, and we'd need a ton of blood. We'll get her some meat when we're done making up with dad.

>>23795398
I wouldn't scold her on this one. She's not being mean, the food just doesn't agree with her.

>>23795342
I just realized that if everything goes to plan Selene will be one classy lady. Then when a guy asks her out to dinner and she says yes she'll order the biggest steak the restaurant has rare. Then eat the whole thing. None of the I'll just have a salad foolery her dates reaction will be hilarious.

>>23795431
Before even attempting this, does she even eat plant? I think her diet is UV light, mineral rich water and meat.

>>23795464
And then she'll drain her date twice on the way home.

That is of course assuming she ever gets over her dryad crush on Max.

>>23795540
I'm sure given her physiology that she has the potential to want to fiddle around with either gender.

>>23795561
I'm kind of hoping Selene will attempt to emulate Max, and when the sisters are all grown up, she will assert herself as the Dom of the three.

>>23795458
you only use to sticks of butter thats less than 1/2 a cup its not much at all

It would totally work ?

>>23795431
do this

>>23795512
do you even bake/cook butter is a binder to make everything stick together

blood works the same way hence gravy just bake it at like 280 instead of 350 take the time up to like 22-25 minuets shit would be fine for our vamp/incubus/dryad daughter

>>23795566
In fact, if she ever gets over that dryad crush of hers, she might potentially fuck every person in the tower at some point or another.

>>23795574
It's gonna be funny because I assume she will be the smallest when fully grown.

>>23795342
Well, I would suggest we take her up to the kitchen and teach her how to make a spiced meat dish (I have a very specific form of meatballs in mind but can't remember if the recipe is purely carnivorous). She'd probably enjoy helping mommie cook. Hell, we could ask dad to help if we want to get in more family time.

>>23795586
Well the tower does kind of promote that mindset.

>>23795473
She has had bacon which is smoked and ham-steak which is usually cured in a surgery brine. But i dont know maybe we should make meat loaf with breadcrumbs and egg and see if she likes that.

>>23795460
>>23795458
>>23795431
If we make her cookies lets thaw a fer ounces of hamburger mix in about a table spoon of sugar and a dash of vanilla and pan fry it for her that is a Selene cookie.

>>23795592
Of course, the scene where she ties up, spanks and fucks the musclegirl jotunn/druegr dryad twice her size will be glorious!

>>23795593
We should actually let dad try the cookies first, rather than running straight off for more Selene-time mid making up with him.

"Oh, it's okay, sweetie," you say, helping to wipe her tongue off. "I'll make something else for you later." You finish off the cookie she had just a bite of, just to be sure. It tastes fine; she must just have an even stricter diet than you though. "You want one, dad?" you ask.

"Sure, Max," he says, walking over to take one. He takes a bite and smiles at you. "It's really good. Thanks for making these." You get the impression that he's more trying to express that he isn't mad at you over before than that he's necessarily happy to have cookies.

What do you do now?

>>23795646
Read the last sentence.

>>23795592
I don't know i think the Jotun dwarf will be as smart but more bookish and mechanically inclines where as Selene is a socialite.

>>23795676
I said smallest, not smartest.

You know, when you think about this Quest, the most minor questions have the most major results.

For example, if you remember back to when we first got the Dryad seeds, it was a fluke. Fem wasnt even planning to have the Dryad die until people started worrying that she would. Or you think back to Quest I, when we picked the random girl in the back over the flight attendant or whoever. Fem later said that each of them were special, so we defined the story with that choice.

Just food for thought, I suppose.

>>23795669
Suggest that the two of you could work on summoning up and binding something powerful enough to keep the wards going indefinitely tomorrow.

>>23795669
ask if he wants to help us and Selene invent a cookie she can eat.

>>23795669

Nod and smile. "Well, I figured you deserved something nice. You've helped all of us out so much, and don't get a lot back. I was thinking about the two of us going out sometime to try and remedy that fact; got someplace you want to go, but haven't had the chance to?"

Yeah, he's a fucking ancient fallen angel, but maybe he's never been to Disneyland or something.

>>23795669
>Thanks for making these
Thanks for being here, Dad. And then hug and no boner, damnit.

>>23795705
Being able to roll with unexpected and minor events and turn them into interesting parts of the plot is one of the most valuable skills a GM/quest runner can have.

>>23795705
Most of your choices, even the seemingly trivial ones, have had an impact on where you are now. I feel like that's pretty much the only way to not-railroad. Not sure, though. Thoughts?

>>23795669
Suggest sorting out a permanent power source for the wards, and then the two of you taking a day trip out somewhere in a couple of weeks.

Anywhere he wants.

>>23795723
You and I both know that Selene's ideal cookie is made of ammonium nitrate and bacon. We don't need help to figure that out

>>23795744
Zero railroading results in retarded quests which burn out under the weight of their own LOLRANDUM.

Too much railroading makes people abandon the quest as they feel that their choices don't matter, and they needn't be there.

Since neither has happened, I think you're doing just fine.

>>23795744
Keep being awesome, that is what I think.

>>23795744

Maybe not the only way, but definitely the way that gives us the greatest agency within the world. Thanks for doing this for us and providing such great fun.

>>23795705
Really doubt we'll be able to, and it sounds like the kind of thing that he'd just call too dangerous, but we should offer to help with setting up a more permanent power source.

>>23795702
oh derp you are right silly me.

>>23795731
>>23795727
>>23795723
these options if we can combine them that is good

>>23795732
Amen to that

>>23795744
well life is like that though this exaggerates it due to conservation of detail. It seems to work. I doubt it is the ONLY way to not railroad but it is one way and it is hard but straightforward.
Another is to give the players whatever they want but that way sucks for obvious reasons.

>>23795744
make Selene something sweet to eat

>>23795727
>>23795731
These first, and then maybe >>23795723

>>23795804
>giving players what they think they want

>>23795809
Maple bacon.

She clearly doesn't like some of the stuff in cookies, maybe we could just kind of eliminate bits of it by having her taste a little sugar, butter, etc., and see what ingredients she rejects.

>>23795831
That is one of them but another is that to do that you are virtually guaranteed to take the challenge out of the game. Even if the players want what they get. This way makes you work for it.

>>23795895
I think all the not meat will be rejected in isolation like most people hate straight vinegar but will use it in things.

>>23795831
I think I want more bondage with Liz.

>>23795831
>implying all the players think they want the same thing

Still, you're doing a decent job of balancing the various BFQ fronts.

>>23795895
Just bacon, she didn't react well to the cookies, so I think we should leave out sugar.

>>23795930
I get that, I can't eat sour cream unless it's been well blended as an ingredient, like in beef stroganoff. But what we have right now is "this combination of ingredients doesn't taste good to her" and no idea why.

>>23795931
She passed out and is sleeping right now.

>>23793937
When really the magical land of weed and drugs is now Colorado.

You give your dad a big hug. "Thank you so much for being here for me," you tell him.

"It's no trouble at all, Max," he reassures you. "Really."

"Hey, I had an idea," you suggest. "What if we collected a whole ton of foci tomorrow and made a point of summoning a truly powerful spirit to run the tower's wards? That way you wouldn't need to keep stopping what you're doing and summoning new spirits all the time."

"That could be a good idea," he agrees. "If it's going to be a powerful spirit, though, it should be one whose true name we know. The powerful ones are almost never mindless, so it's good to be able to keep them from resisting. The idea I've been playing around with, though, is making an entire spiritual ecosystem inside of the powering circle - one with enough minor spirits that, as long as we make sure the ecosystem is balanced and healthy, none of them will be permanently damaged by the drain. Think of it like a fish tank or terrarium for spirits. I'm not sure if it will actually work in practice, but it's an idea I'm really interested in."

What do you say?

>>23795731
There will be boners when both individuals are attracted to each other.

All the boners.

>>23796002
And they just passed a law that's causing Magpul to give the state a huge middle finger and find a new state to locate itself in.

>>23796010

Fuckawesome idea! So sort of a sun-spirit providing power to some plant spirits, each of which contributes a little bit of power to the wards? I like it!

>>23796010
That sounds really interesting, and would be good conjuration practice for Max.

Tell him his idea sounds great, and we want to help him set it up.

>>23796010
"Oooohhh, that's even better. Any books you think we'll need on the idea?"

>>23796010

(think a moment)"We should try summoning Saburo back. If we got him, then we have a better guess he's REALLY gone. But if he's NOT....?"
(pause, beat)"...are you really okay binding someone else down there?"

Not only does the spirit fishtank sound cool it also feels way less unethical than binding an intelligent powerful spirit to serve as a crappy magic battery for eternity. Let's do it.

>>23796010
"Also, I really like that idea. I bet the librarian can help with that.... any idea what she actually WANTS? aside from, ahem, a good dicking?"

>>23796083
Indeed, considering that Max is a potential battery for some other asshole using conjuration, and she knows it, she should probably be reluctant to bind intelligent spirits if she has a choice.

>>23796010
that sounds like something lunch was using to power her base.

>>23796010
Well unless he knows the true name of a powerful spirit off-hand, that's probably better. Won't we have to create the whole ecosystem all at once though?

>>23796031
Yeah, but what can you do? Emotional gun control nuts are everywhere.

>>23796010
I really like the spirit tank. Let's go for it.

>>23796083
>Max
>ethics

>>23796010
Can we finally ask the question of whether or not Max has a true name that can be used against her?

Would it just be her normal name or does she have some sort of spirit name?

>>23796010
Great idea. Much better than imprisioning one of my aunts.

>>23796091
We didn't get much Jotun, but we did get a full duergar femur, we should have a bunch of that left, I think.

But we should be careful about handing out bribes until we really need to. We got the sensory possession book by getting her sympathy, for example.

I just don't want to waste a potential bribe and end up in the position of sex with a woman THE incubus shuddered at the memory of.

>>23796010
Lets make a fish tank also lets ask about whether we have a true name and away from Liz and Selene ask how to find it or what it is.

>>23796160
We can pick her up some fancy wine when we're in Paris.

>>23796179
I think we should just stockpile a cabinet with the sign "BRIBES" on it so everybody can pocket something to carry there just in case they need to gift her something for her cooperation.

>>23796179
And dad can pick up 2 book scanners when he goes shopping.

>>23796179
Also when we return books but dont need anything new we should bring her things like fresh home maid bread and cookies to show we care but not actually spend anything.

>>23796174
Yes, because us knowing our true name would have been very useful if we'd been successfully kidnapped by a spirit binder. Or anyone who can read minds.

>>23796216
>>23796179
we should also revisit that emergency sanctuary we found in the library and set it up as such with liz one day. the books in there could be worth something if we fix them.

>>23796228
yes do this. asap that way we can scan the dryad book

>>23796258
well we could do another Blood oath to never tell anyone our true name because of the effects of mind control or mind reading. Then no one can find that out. Plus i dont see how that could come back to bite us.

>>23796010
The spirit fishtank idea sounds awesome. Let's give it a go.

>>23796160
>But we should be careful about handing out bribes until we really need to. We got the sensory possession book by getting her sympathy, for example.

Actually, she wanted to see the spell we came up with - if we give it to her, we can build up our rapport with her, and maybe get on her good side to the point where the word Bribe doesn't come up EVERY time the word 'librarian' does.

>>23796179

This is a fantastic idea.

We could bring her some cookies, too.

"I really like the idea of the spiritual ecosystem," you say. "But would we need to summon them all at once?"

"No," your dad replies. "We would summon them one at a time and keep them bound in the inbound summoning circle. They would stay inert until it was time to release them into the power circle. That way we would know we would have enough of each type for it to be both balanced and thrive."

"Huh. That makes sense," you say. "How many of these would we need to put together?"

"Oh, no more than a few hundred minor spirits to get it started," he says casually.

"A few hundred?" you ask. You had hoped that you would be able to set this up in one day.

"Well, yes," he says. "For proper environmental diversity. Probably about half of those will go extinct in the circle in the first year, but that should be about the amount we need to guarantee its balance. Most of them will be extremely minor, mindless spirits. The most significant will be small, barely-aware spiritual predators that eat the stationary ones. Probably the trickiest to get will be a minor solar spirit - the largest too, though completely mindless."

"And you've never done anything like this before?" you ask.

"Strictly speaking, no," he says. "I've never worked to tailor spiritual environments outside of the dream web before. So, what do you think? Should I get started on it?"

What do you say?

>>23796010
power array is better than a single powerful spirit

>>23796160
>duergar femur
are cheap and easy to get

>>23796479
Sounds great, and it'd free up Dad for father-daughter bondageing time. I vote we go ahead with it.

>>23796479
What are his other priorities at this point then? He's finished rejiggering the wards, right? So yeah, seems like a good idea.

>>23796479
yes lets go start.

>>23796479
Sure. We can have lunch get to work making summoning foci too. That should help out.

>>23796506
I - fuck. I can't even delete my post, because for some reason the password isn't working.

>>23796516
The wards are totally re-keyed but not fully extended we have one or two more rooms though.

>>23796479
sounds great, and I would love to help,and learn how to make this Ill ask liz to she is great at conjuration.

>>23796529
Drain foci for summoning especially

>>23796479
"It's certainly ambitious, but it's better long-term than continuing the way we have or imprisoning a sentient spirit as a battery."

>>23796538
That happened to me too. No idea why.

>>23796506
So tempted to escalate...must restrain self.

>>23796556
no just Dad and max to start.

>>23796479
Ask if we can help, we clearly need the practice anyway

>>23796578
Lunch and Liz will be very useful later but for now we want to bond over our fish tank.

"I can help, right?" you ask.

"Of course, Max," he says. "This will be helpful for me in designing the spiritual ecosystem - but the repeated summonings should be incredibly useful for you in learning more Conjuration. It would make for a nice project to do together when I'm not working on extending the wards or getting ahold of my next granddaughter's fertilizers."

That's where I'm going to end it for tonight. I'm very tired.

Have a nice night. This is fun.

Righto then. Goodnight, milady.

>>23796479
>Should I get started on it?"

"I think that.... you're going to need a lot of foci for this. Have Lunch help you make what you need. We know you haven't had a lot of time for yourself... don't go jumping into a big project like this without being ready, and I want your head to be in the right place, too."

Hey guys, just as a reminder, the librarian is expecting us to tell her about teaching Selene the sensory spell.

>>23796687
>That's where I'm going to end it for tonight. I'm very tired.

Sleep well, milady!

I wanted to chime in on this: You've done a fantastic job making sure our actions have consequences - and also keeping track of how one different thing affects others. Its kind of a ripple effect.
Don't stop doing it!

Though i do kind of wish you could reconcile that kind of detail oriented world development with the fetishist blatant disregard for subplots and details - things like following up with the librarian, or making sure our dad's getting the personal time to himself he asked for, or basically any idea for making custom/unique/special foci that's come up in the past ten threads - kind of gets put to the wayside, even as you remind us that being prepared is ESSENTIAL to surviving scholomance. Its like max isn't taking those essential lessons to heart.

I mean, sure, I like what we're doing and making that thing for liz is SUPER sweet and touching, but its not our tattoos or that energy battery, or making gavvy better.

Do you think next timeskip choice we get, that you could give us two entries for Social things and two entries for Mechanical things? Seperate the two a little bit?
