>>24052347
Get up, shower and dress, if Liz still isn't awake by the time we're done, wake her up.

>>24052347
Try to get up without waking Liz if she's still asleep and see if we can find Sam / Lin.

Also, how difficult would it be to use alchemy to fabricate antimatter?

>Also, how difficult would it be to use alchemy to fabricate antimatter?
Markedly.

>>24052432
Let's save that for a later year, I think.

>>24052448
If you could put that on a scale of mushcake to catpunch?

>>24052347
check the bathroom.

>>24052432
Keeping it stable and out of contact with normal matter would be of more concern.

>>24052527
We can do it from miles away.

This would be mainly for sunstrike-tier fuckyourshit spells.

This is the best idea.

>>24052347
take a shower

You head to the bathroom to take a shower. You find Lin already bathing and a note on the counter. The note reads.

"Hera called. I'm meeting her to talk. Text me when you're all up and we can start heading to the coffee shop."

What do you do now?

>>24052347
Shower, find Lin.

>>24052577
Join Lin in the bath and start washing each other.

The wake Liz up and wash her before calling Sam.

>>24052577
We found em.

Go back and cuddle with Liz while we wait for Lin to finish up. Then we can shower together.

Afterwards text Sam.

Just so everyone remembers, we still need to go shopping for the meals today.

>>24052609
wait what?

>>24052577
"Good morning how did you sleep lin are you feeling better?"

(what time is it) when lin gets out wake up liz to get our shower, then we we are dressed text Sam that we are all awake.

>>24052604
Seconding, although we should ask Lin if she's feeling better after last night while we're in the bathroom.

>>24052616
we were planning to get them lots of clothes.

Rolled 56

>>24052686
That might be off the table, given that our funds aren't as unlimited as our gold supply made us assume.

We can just alchemize up whatever we can't do without anyway.

>>24052686
I thought just a slutty maid costume for Lunch.
Breakfast doesn't strike me as someone that likes wearing clothes

>>24052711

'only because we haven't taken the time to sell the gold yet

>>24052686
I'd rather alchemy up the clothes and go buy some labrats for our living alchemy lab.

>>24052577

ask Lin how she feels and if we can join her to get clean.

>>24052744
We can buy those some other time, while we're out on vacation with our friends and lover is not the time to bulk buy rats.

>>24052577
Ask Lin if she's feeling better, then when Lin's done in the bathroom, we can go wake up Liz and bathe with her.

"How are you feeling, Lin?" you ask her as she washes herself. "Doing better today?"

"Yeah," she says. She looks a little tired, but much better. "I healed myself with alchemy this morning just in case, went and had a bit of espresso while you and Liz were still sleeping, and have been working on refining my mind drill before I try it out again. This is actually the third bath I've had; I'm just relaxing in here. I can get out if you need the shower."

What do you do?

>>24052744
We can just tell dad to buy the rats for us.

>>24052793
"Thanks, I'll go wake Liz up and we'll take a shower."

>>24052793
Take your time. Liz is still asleep anyway

then text sam

>>24052759
I think after we go have coffee and do any other shopping today is a fine time to buy like 4. 1 male 3 female of them to breeding more ourselves.

>>24052793
"please, hey when we get home how about I go over your notes on it, you can go over the notes on mine see if a fresh mind could help each other, sound like a plan?"

(wake Liz up, trace fingers across her body hips,lips,legs,lips,lick her awake.)

>>24052793
Shower with liz, text Sam whenever we finish,

>>24052793
tell her she can take her time and then we go wake up Liz in the funnest way possible.

>>24052842
>>24052839
>>24052850
combine these also dress Liz again this morning.

>>24052839
Seconded, we are pretty good at enchantment after all, we could probably offer some good advice.

>>24052793

are there a separate shower and bath? because we can just let her soak while we clean our self.

>>24052876
and her mind drill could plant our "seed"/ suggestion deeper in there mind.

"Do you want me to take a look at your notes on the mind drill when we get back to the tower later?" you ask. "You know, get a second set of eyes on it and see what I can find. You could take a look at my emotional field spell if you want too."

"Sure," she says. "I bet some of the concepts I used for my drill would help your spell, and vice versa."

"Cool," you say. "I'm going to go wake Liz up. I'll probably be a while, so you can take your time with the bath."

"Cool cool."

You head out back into the bed room. Liz is still curled up in the bed. You pad over to her and pull the covers slowly off, revealing her naked save for the collar. You start tracing all over her lightly with your fingers, the tips of your lips, your tongue. You tease her lips, her nipples, her collar bone, her navel, her hips, her thighs, before finally carefully rolling her over, spreading her legs slightly, and giving her clit a long, slow lick.

"Mmmh~," she moans as she stirs away. "Mistress?"

What do you do?

>>24052930
keep playing and licking.

>>24052930
keep licking sucking kissing her fondle her breasts pinch her nipples make sure she is awake.

>>24052959
>>24052968
but pick up the speed a bit.

You keep licking and teasing, occasionally moving up her belly to her breasts as your grind your thigh up against her crotch, before moving back down again. It looks like Liz has no defense against this kind of attention - or is actively going with it - because in short order she's a moaning, squirming mess. You bury your head between her thigh and, a few minutes of your flickering, probing tongue later, she cums. Hard.

As she lies there in the afterglow, panting and still squirming and whimpering with happiness, she speaks up. "May I do you now, Mistress?"

What do you do?

>>24053157
Lean back and give her a "Do you really have to ask?" look.

>>24053157
"I am not sure, is that how we ask for something?"
"try again"

>>24053157
>>24053191
this

>>24053191
Agreed.

>>24053191
this
>>24053187
then move to this

>>24053157
"Is that how a slut ought to ask for her Mistress's cock?

You know what you need to do. I'll give you another chance."

"Is that how a good slut asks for her Mistress's cock?" you ask her, reaching down to grip the back of her neck. "Try again."

"P... Please, Mistress," Liz says, looking up at you and pouting. "Please let your poor little slut suck your cock. She wants to show you how much she loves you and... And she needs it because of how much of a dirty little slut she is... Please... Please!"

What do you do?

>>24053465
>What do you do?
Nothing. Just sit there, arms folded and let her wonder what's about to happen. But nothing's about to happen (she doesn't need to know that)

>>24053465
Face fuck her
>>24053502
is also acceptable

>>24053465
"Good slut."

Gently but firmly hold onto her head, move her close enough that she can barely lick the head of our cock, tease her with the possibility of sucking it for a bit before face fucking her with it. Completely control how much cock she gets.

>>24053465
(kiss her) "such a good girl,show me you mean it"

>>24053537
I second this.

>>24053465
Do >>24053502 but then move on to descartes.jpg once she starts looking worried.

>>24053537
I like it, let's go with this one.

Not really related to the situation at hand, but I just recalled something.

Did Liz ever talk to her parents about the whole child abuse thing?

>>24053604
No she will do the over winter break in person and with our support.

>>24053604
>Having sex
>"Hey Liz, lets talk about how your parents hit you."

I mean, I want to watch as she goes back home and memories + magic = blood tornado, but now isn't the time to prep her for that. Kay?

>>24053642
I wasn't suggesting we should talk about it in-character. I was just wondering if it had ever been discussed and I'd missed it.

>>24053537
This, but use the collar, at least partially, to control her movements.

I still think that she should talk to our mom about that.

>>24053681
Everyone agrees with you but most think that is not the type of conversation you have over the phone.

You stare down at her evenly. She stares up at you. Eventually, she gets a worried look in her eyes and gives you a nervous smile. That's when you act, using the hand on the back of her neck to push her face towards your cock. She smiles and opens her mouth immediately, reaching out with her tongue to try to lick the head of your cock. You stop her just barely short of it by looping a single finger into her collar and holding her back.

She strains for a moment, makes a slight choking sound, then looks up at you. She has a pout in her eyes, but is still trying to reach the head of your cock with her tongue. You leave her like that for a few moments before pushing head head down again, shoving your cock down into her mouth. She gags as it hits the back of her throat, but keeps under control and swallows. She sticks her tongue out to caress the underside of your cock and stares up into your eyes.

When your balls hit her chin, the corners of her eyes crinkle up into a smile, tears trickling out down her face. She does her best to plant a big kiss around the base of your cock before you finally pull her slowly back off, until only the head is in her mouth. She breathes hard through her nose, smiling and swirling her tongue around the head of your cock as she stares proudly up at you.

What do you do?

>>24053743
Tell her she's a good slut, and keep controlling the pace of the blowjob.

>>24053743
Let her work her magic for a bit, then pick her up and lower her down on top of it.

>>24053743
Whatever we do, finish it by coming all over her and then offer shower time.

>>24053839
yes

>>24053839
Seconding that. Be sure and tell her how beautiful she looks covered in her mistress' cum.

>>24053743
"Good obedient slut, you managed to fit my entire cock down your tight slutty throat, only a true slut could do that. I'm proud of you."

Keep on controlling the pace of the blowjob and praising her.

When we cum, eventually, make sure to do it all over her face and tits, don't let her clean herself up.

>>24053868
yea do it like this.

>>24053743
>>24053865
>>24053839
>>24053810
>>24053868
these

>>24053839
>Cleaning it off in the shower
Alternatively, lick it off ourselves, I'm sure she'll enjoy that.

>>24053919
We don't clean it off yet, once we've cum all over her face and tits we make her crawl to the bathroom and look at herself in the mirror and tell her how beautiful she is when she's covered it cum.

>>24053940
Then we lick it off? I'm okay with that.

>>24053919
I'm not sure if I like that. I don't think I do.

>>24053919
>>24053940
>>24053963
yes then instead of swallowing it we kiss her and make her swallow it it will drive her crazy.

>>24053983
Why not? Max clearly has no problem with the taste of her own jizz, considering that she's sucked herself off before.

>>24054007
Which is why I said "I" and not Max.

Honestly, I don't give a fuck if it happens or not because this is just a sex scene. Just saying that I don't like it.

>>24053993
This plan is coming together nicely.

>>24054028
If you don't give a fuck, why are you posting about how much you don't give a fuck?

>>24053940
must do this!

>>24054035
You can have an opinion on something while being indifferent to the possibility of things not going your way.

>>24054028
While I sympathize the rest of us like it. Thank you for not ruining everyone else's fun. I am for it BTW
>>24054035
He doesn't like it but he's telling us he doesn't care much if we do it anyway

I can't remember if it was said when we first saw Petrov, but what does he wear? I always picture him in robes, but I don't think he wears robes.

"You're such a good little slut," you tell her, using your free hand to stroke her hair. She beams up at you and curls her tongue around the head of your cock. "I'm so proud of you."

Then you grab her by the collar with one hand, cradling the back of her head with the other, and start fucking her mouth. She tilts her head, guides you with her tongue, and does her best not to gag. She stares up at you, whimpering and moaning as you go, tears trickling slowly out of the corners of her eyes. The room is filled with wet, sucking sounds as you go.

It doesn't take very long - in part because you don't want to risk hurting Liz, and are therefore trying to cum quickly - for you to finish. Just a few minutes, really. As you do, you pull her off using your collar and tilt her head back. She opens her mouth wide and lets her tongue hang out as you cum all over her face and chest, making sure to get plenty in her mouth. When you're done, she swallows and licks her lip. One of her eyes is stuck shut by a well-aimed cumshot. She starts alternately nuzzling your cock and licking it clean, making happy little humming sounds as she goes.

What do you do now?

>>24054373

Oh lawd. Tweed's funnier than robes.

>>24054401
seconding

>>24054401
do this

>>24054373
>>24054373
Lick it off, share a cummy kiss.

>>24054401
Seconding. Let's get some move on.

>>24054373
Lick it off her, let her have some of it back when we kiss her, then go take her to the shower and clean off.

After all that, we can text Sam.

>>24054475
>>24054501
Seconding, then we should get moving.

>>24054415
Oh Petrov. I know why Sam fancied you. No one can resist the allure of tweed.

>>24054475
>>24054501
>>24054510
This, but before we lick it off be sure to tell her how cute she looks covered in her mistress' cum.

>>24054373
>>24054534
>>24054501
make her crawl to the bathroom. Have her look in the mirror then lick her off with a cumy kiss and tell her what a pretty slut she is. Let Lin watch.

"You look so cute covered in my cum like that," you whisper down to her. She smiles and blushes. You start licking her clean - you would be lying if you said you hadn't developed a bit of a taste for your own cum - then kiss Liz, letting her taste it too. You lead her to the bathroom, then. Lin drains the tub and heads out into the room, while you and Liz climb in and wash each other off, rubbing up against each other and kissing the whole time.

When you're finally all clean, you fire off a text to Sam, saying, "Ready whenever you are," then head out into the room to hang out with Liz and Lin.

"So, you two have anything planned for today, aside from meeting Sam for coffee?" Lin asks.

What do you do?

>>24054802
I don't think we did.

>>24054802

"I'm not sure we do, Liz?"

and if Liz doesn't have anything,

"did you have something in mind Lin?"

>>24054802
Maybe pick up some rats for my biological experiments other than that I don't have any How about you Liz?

>>24054802
"I was going to buy presents for everyone back at the sanctum. Did the rest of you have anything else in mind?"

>>24054802
"getting some maid clothing for the meals, going over your mind drill spell, and making a permanent foci for my emotion spell, how about you? "

>>24054881
Seconding the rats, but at the end of the trip.

>>24054881
I really think we can do that some other time, it's just bizarre picking up rats while out with your friends having fun.

>>24054887
seconded

>>24054887
>>24054893
do this

>>24054881
ave dad get that latter from his contacts along with blood testing equipment, and some advanced bio books.

>>24054802
"I wanted to pick up some gifts for everyone, but apart from that I didn't have anything in mind, how about you?"

>>24054802

Some shopping, lab gear, and some extra stuff for Liz, but not much.

Internets down?

"I was thinking I might pick up lab rats for experimentation," you say. "Maybe get some gifts for everyone. I was thinking I could get some cute, slutty outfits for the meals. Are you guys interested in anything?"

"Can you afford that?" Liz asks. "I mean, you haven't sold off any of your gold yet, right?"

She, uh. She has a point. Cheap gifts, maybe?

"Oh!" says Lin excitedly. "After coffee, we could go to Hong Kong and use magic to cheat at illegal, underground gambling. We could get a ton of cash that way."

"Uh..." you say.

"That's a terrible idea," says Liz, frowning.

What do you do?

>>24055531
Ask Dad to wire some cash to your debit card, maybe. He has been pretty on top of that stuff.

>>24055531

We could go to vegas and cheat at normal gambling. Less likely to be shot for winning there.

>>24055531
>"Oh!" says Lin excitedly. "After coffee, we could go to Hong Kong and use magic to cheat at illegal, underground gambling. We could get a ton of cash that way."

NO.

>>24055531
>"After coffee, we could go to Hong Kong and use magic to cheat at illegal, underground gambling. We could get a ton of cash that way."
Shut up Snapple.

>>24055531
"ok fuck we will all shop after we liquidate the gold."

"lets wait till e are bullet prof to fuck with gangsters."

>>24055531
>"Oh!" says Lin excitedly. "After coffee, we could go to Hong Kong and use magic to cheat at illegal, underground gambling. We could get a ton of cash that way."

"Are you sure the side effects from yesterday wore off? Cause you still sound high as a kite."

>>24055531
"Let's wait until we're bulletproof before we do something like that."

Then give Sam a text, sort out what time we're going to meet up with him, and go shopping.

>>24055531
"Or we just have Sam liquidate a pile of good for us, it'd be a lot less work.

Shall we get a quick bite to eat?"

>>24055531
Rats are cheap. We can still get the rats.

>>24055590
I lol'd

>>24055590
Oh crap
Snapple is a reincarnation of Lin! It all makes sense know

>>24055546
he doesn't have any we have no liquid finds just piles of gold.
we can ask Sam for help liquidating our gold when we meat the all go shopping it will be fun.

>>24055678
I though Snapple was the librarian, considering what she did to Wendi.

>>24055698
So what you're saying is that Lin is a reincarnation of the librarian, and that the librarian is a soulless undead monster? That's what you're saying, right?

>>24055698
The librarian is how Snapple would be like if he wasn't Snapple.

>>24055698
don't you know we are all Snapple TG is just one guy with multiple personalities who types relay fast.

>>24055685
>he doesn't have any we have no liquid finds just piles of gold.
But he has some stash of money due to him buying all sorts of magical shit for our dryads.

We could just make the outfits later.

4x maid outfits for the meals, Liz, and Lin.

>>24055685
>>24055728
Christ man, learn to type. And spell.

>>24055748
He was paying in gold bars. Not everyone in the magical community can magic valuable crap out of thin air. That's scholomance grade skill.

>>24055758
I don't think lin should get one
also, we may want to mix it up somewhat

>>24055774
Or he's paying with the money he got for being a smuggler.

>>24055790
This would imply that to avoid being broke we did not have to take the time skip option of >convert some of your gold bars into currency

I believe it was explicitly stated that we did.

"I keep forgetting that I need to liquidate all that gold before I can actually use it."

"Maybe I could get Sam to find a buyer for all this gold," you speculate. "Or I could just wait until dad finds a way to do it for me."

"Anything's better than the Hong Kong idea," says Liz, giving Lin a sour look. Lin responds with a shit-eating grin. "Anyway, there isn't anything in particular I want to do in London. I'm up for almost anything. Sam will probably have a better idea of things we might enjoy doing. After all, he's English, and he's been living in the city for a couple of months now."

"Oh, we could go to London's illegal undergr-" Lin starts before Liz smacks her upside the head. Lin just laughs; she's clearly just fucking with you guys at this point.

What do you do now?

>>24055900
>"Oh, we could go to London's illegal undergr-" Lin starts before Liz smacks her upside the head. Lin just laughs; she's clearly just fucking with you guys at this point.
Ok, Lin is definitely Snapple.

>>24055900
Kiss them both. Get dressed, dress Liz, go out for a bit of breakfast.

>>24055900
Go eat breakfast, then text Sam about what happened with Fishperson.

>>24055900
How much money do we have left in our bank account at this point? Might be useful for planing a gift/toys/academic resources shopping list. At minimum we should see if we could get a primer on bindings for ropeplay and some waxplay safe candles.

>>24055900
Text Sam to see if he's still up for this. Then text dad and get us ported over. Or maybe Liz could do it. Is she that good at conj yet?

>>24055931
I don't wanna be Lin.

>>24055900
"Lin, never change." Get ready to go out.

>>24055965
You still have over a hundred euros in cash and over a hundred in your bank account.

>>24055978
>Not wanting to be Lin.
Shut up Snapple.

>>24055900
yea spend the day in London sounds great museums, exct

>>24055984
Excellent. Thank you milady.

>>24055931
>implying Snapple is cool or smart enough to be Lin

>>24055984
That isn't very much.

>>24056058
No it is not. Still, we have about, oh, 120 euros worth of wiggle room outside of coffe in London and likely Sam related expenses or museum activities. Not much, but something we could irk with, assuming no hold is placed on our debit card.

"I thought you might have learned something last night," you say, giving her a look.

"I did," she says, smirking. "Don't combine mind-altering drugs with mind-altering magic."

You sigh. "Come on, let's all get dressed and go get breakfast or something."

"Okay, Mistress," says Liz, heading for her overnight bag.

The three of you all spend the next few minutes getting dressed. Right when you're about to head out, though, Sam sends you all a text.

"Meet me here for coffee. Hera's with me." He attached a GPS coordinate to the text, which shows up in your mapping app when you click it.

What do you do?

>>24056115
We're going to a museum?
I wonder what the chances are that there will be some strange artifact that catches our eye because something feels 'off' about it.
Then we have a huge argument about whether or not to steal it when we detect magic on it and figure out its some crazy thing.

>>24056151
We meet him there for coffee.

>>24056151
Tell the crew what's up. Text Sam to make sure Hera's ok/calmed down and to confirm we're on our way. Head out.

>>24056151
Text him back that we'll see him soon.
If Liz is feeling confident let's see if she can port us.

>>24056151
Coffee time, find a nice ally close to the location then, could dad port us from here to there?

>>24056158
I'd say pretty low. There must be other mages that visit it occasionally. Maybe one of the workers there is a mage that smuggels out magic artifacts.

>>24056158
Anything of real value would have real protection. Wards, security spell slingers, curses laid for the prospective thief...so not ready to try that.

>>24056158
Well now that you've said it there's no way Fem will write it.

>>24056151
Prepare to apologize to Hera. Not sure how to word it, though.

>>24056243
A simple apology is probably the best way, we might want to talk to her about what happened in greater detail at a later time, but for now I think a simple "I owe you an apology for last night, I'm sorry Hera" would probably do it.

>>24056238

I probably shouldn't have laughed as I did at the text at the bottom.

>>24056238
You know you are a master troll if people start making reaction images for your name.

Well... At least a persistent one.

>>24056238
>Starting to believe that the Snapple from this quest is some elaborate marketing campaign to make people hate the actual drink.

>>24056287
Let Sam or Hera explain what the currant situation is first. but if such an explanation is not forthcoming that's OK.

>>24056407
If that were true I might as well admit that it's working.

>>24056425

Yeah, let's let Sam start off the apology train. Hera's his best friend, after all.

I think it's just more that he has no filter. He just thinks up random shit, and has no compunctions against sharing it with us. No malice or anything, just a lack of restraint.

>>24056505
Maybe this is true sometimes, but he really enjoys needling the audience every so often.

>>24056505
>implying he doesnt do it for the delicious attention everyone gladly feeds him, willing to go as far as derailing the thread for 200+ posts over the most asinine bullshit
He was one of the worst things to happen to these threads whether he meant to be or not.

You send out a couple of texts.

"See you soon," to Sam.

"Teleport myself, Liz, and Lin to these coordinates, please," to your dad.

After a couple of minutes of all of you grabbing your bags and stuff, you find yourselves quite suddenly standing in a London alleyway, wearing light coats for the chill. You stroll out onto the street and find Sam standing there with Hera. Sam's wearing a stylish peacoat, while Hera's wearing a hoodie and a big, floppy, knit hat, aside from her suit.

There's an awkward silence for a moment before Hera says, "Uh, hey. Sorry. About last night, that is."

What do you do?

>>24056578
"No, I'm sorry. We got carried away."

>>24056578

Offer a hug, but don't force it on her. "It was never our intention to hurt you, Hera. I'm sorry, too."

>>24056578
"yea me too, we probable freaked you out. I um...sorry."

>>24056578
"Uh, I'm sorry too."

>>24056578
"Yeah.. Maybe we shouldn't have been so blatant about it."

Coffee time.

>>24056578
>>24056626
>>24056629
these then coffee time.

"Are you allergic to sex? Why did you run away, when you could have joined us, you know?"

>>24056407
I bought a Snapple once, the drink that is.
On the inside of the lid there was a little messsage:
"Did you know an ant can survive up too two weeks under water?"

NEVER AGAIN.

>>24056690
Downvoting out of habit.

>>24056690
Haha, no.

>>24056690
This is quite possibly the worst possible response, do not say that.

>>24056693
>Snapple suggests using Living Alchemy to create giant amphibious ant vehicles that can vomit acid on things

>>24056602
This
Not this
>>24056626

>>24056690
Patience, we'll get a chance to give Hera the D, just not today.

Wait for Sam to have time to tell her how awesome it is first.

>>24056690
>Are you allergic to sex?
Reword it so it isn't quite as insulting.

"Feel free not to answer, but why did you freak out like that?"

>>24056720
This.

>>24056578
Sorry. Sex demons. It happens.

>>24056732

Still not the best way to go about it, I feel. Maybe something along the lines of "Did we offend you?"

>>24056578
>>24056713

"No, I'm sorry," you say. "We got carried away. How are you and Sam doing?"

"We're doing okay," says Hera. You think she smiles. It's hard to tell; her face doesn't move in the same way as a human's. "So, coffee, right?"

"That's the plan," agrees Sam. "Unless you guys want to do something else first."

What do you do?

>>24056794
Coffee first, we can go shopping afterwards.

>>24056794
"Nope, coffee's great"

>>24056794

Coffee ho!

>>24056794
Just go for the coffee.

Unless we want to do some illegal underground gambling

>>24056821
Shut up, Lin

>>24056821
Illegal underground espresso.

>>24056794
big sexy cafe orgy

>>24056821
Agree with the unspoiled text. No to the hidden message.

>>24056847
No. Be patient. Unless you're trying to sabotage our friendship with Sam and potential funtimes with Hera?

>>24056794
Coffee then we ask him about helping us liquidate our gold so we can shop with him today. Also warn him not to get in a bidding war with our agent for the Phoenix ash and dragon bits.

>>24056927
Or we could just tell dad to stand down and- wait, is he even looking at this point? I thought he was too caught up this the summoning, ward building and trips to get fertilizer and nutrient mix for Selene to start looking for DragonDryad reagents.

>>24056960
I think he's put out feelers about it at least, he's not actively hunting it down though.

>>24056960

We really need to give dad a weekend off here in the future. We work him like a dog.

>>24056927
Speaking of dryads, did anyone ever ask about using a focus as a nutrient source? Would it just destroy the enchantment, or could we give FrostDryad an innate resistance to drain from magic item crafting?

>>24056996
This is why we're setting up the spirit ecosystem, so he doesn't have to keep refreshing it.

The plan was that when it's set up, we go on a father daughter trip somewhere for a day or two.

>>24056996
Very true! We should probably start helping with the elemental summonings after our project is done.

>>24057001
Oh my. So we're going to take our foci strain foci and mulch them?

>>24056960
He has it on the back burner but his contacts know what he wants and will get in touch if they get any.

>>24057001
that is such a good idea.

>>24057006
also this

>>24056996
He has next weekend off at least that was the plan.

>>24057006
Hmm, wonder how Liz would react to that?

>>24057029
It will be an interesting test of how much she trusts us.

>>24057040
And whether we abuse that trust. Pre-voting against cheating on Liz.

>>24057006
yes that is why I want our next time skip to be build the ecosystem make magic training toys for our children and study.
>>24057029
fine especially if it is to secure a location for a family picnic for her Selena Dad us and Andvera
>>24057016
just one I think

>>24057058
I don't think anyone is going to suggest cheating on her, unless they're trolling.

If the foci mulch thing works, we should make some fire sorcery related foci and mix them with the third one.

>>24057058
second

>>24057058

Let's not have this argument when it's not relevant. Though I agree with you.

"Let's go get some coffee," you say. "I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Alright, let's go, then," he says. He leads you all to a nice nearby cafe. He orders an espresso, Lin gets the house roast, Liz gets a big, sugary, creamy, barely-coffee drink, and Hera gets some orange juice.

What do you order?

>>24057058
I agree. We've promised not to fuck people without her consent, and as far as I can recall we've held on to that promise.
We also promised not to fuck our dad.

>>24057086
yes we should also include ones for fire control and extinguishing.

>>24057081
they would, if that mean sleeping with dad.

>>24056794
coffee

>>24057100
Following the drink choice at the club, lets get something blacker than oil.

>>24057106
The pyrotrain has no breaks.

>>24057111
I don't know about that, I've been very pro-incest since it was first brought up, but not if it means cheating on Liz.

>>24057100
Black coffee, english breakfast

>>24057100
Black.

>>24057123
>something blacker than oil
Roll soul to not vomit

>>24057100
Black with a shot of espresso

>>24057133
coffee earl gray hot?

>>24057150
Why not just 2 shots of straight espresso?
We can't get much harder without breaking out the liquor.

>>24057155
This is the first time I've ever seen someone suggest Earl Grey as an actual breakfast tea on the internet. Most people think it's suitable all day round.

>>24056407
I gotta say, after this quest I'm not buying one again.

>>24057161
Because a double shot is something you shoot, a red eye is something you sip on.

>>24057147
Probably body + durability. So six chances for failure.

>>24057134
This, since no one else is playing there's no reson to turn this into a pissing contest. Also, we've logged enough sleep to stay up for the next two or three days at least, so I'm not sure the caffeine will make Max anything other than jittery and jumpy. Do we want that?

>>24057175
Actually i was making a reference to Nuclear Age.

I agree Earl Grey is an any occasion kind of tea.

>>24057100
Hera can drink orange juice? Did not expect that.

>>24057266
I usually drink black with a shot, but I agree with your logic.

You just order a stiff black coffee.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Sam asks as your drink orders are getting filled.

"Can your smuggler contacts liquidate a ton of gold?" you ask.

"Sure," he says. "How much exactly do you need liquidated?"

"I mean, a ton would be good, for starters," you say.

He gives you a stunned look. "Max, you can't convert that much in one go without knocking the entire underworld on its ear," he says. "I might be able to find someone willing to purchase, say, a couple million quid worth of gold, but even that's pushing it."

What do you say?

>>24057408
"Sorry, Sam, didn't mean in one go. Just trying to see what a reasonable time frame would be, if you're willing, and what kind of commission you think would be reasonable."

>>24057408
A million or two would be fine for starters. All we really need to buy so far is lab stuff.

>>24057408
Ok then how much silver and copper and platinum can you take as well?

>>24057408
"Well, however much you can do without too much trouble is fine, I'm in no rush."

>>24057448
Besides the cages, do we need anything for the lab? I assume any foci we craft are going to be tattoos.

>>24057408

Well, we needed to get rid of a lot of dirt really quickly. Is there something else valuable that we could turn garbage or soil into and give to you? Diamonds, maybe?

>>24057408
"I didn't expect you to move it all in one go, Sam! Even I know that would be a bad move."

>>24057455
Not really worth it, we don't need absurd funds for anything besides vacation time. And we still have to figure how to launder a cash gift for mom back to the US.

>>24057468
Printer ink.

>>24057408
"I kid. But seriously I don't need that much, just a couple thousand quid.

>>24057408
"Then what will I do with the ton of platinum I made" (innocent look)
Then chuckle and tell him you were joking about the literal ton, though we can provide him however much he thinks is a good idea.

given how easy it is for a compaction mage to make any raw material i wonder how much of the worlds supply of valuable materials are actually natural and what was made by some mage looking for a quick buck.

>>24057448
Cages don't cost a couple million.
A couple thousand would be fine.

>>24057468
Do not explain where the gold came from. Hera's been doing the same thing more or less. Also, I don't think we should let Sam and Hera know our sanctum is more of a fortress compound than most firsties (or third circles) get there hands on.

>>24057506
Lunch made the cages after we left. I was thinking more along the lines of the equipment for medical testing.

>>24057408
Smile sheepishly
"Suppose you're right, do you think we could start moving it over several months?"

>>24057501
Let's nt have a Dane joke moment please.

>>24057489
The big ticket items on our list so far are two high end book scanners, some expensive wine for the Librarian, a large mortal reference library, proper biology lab equipment, apothecary cabinets, all sorts of obscure things for the cabinets, and a mountain of sex toys and fetish clothing.

If this whole thing with Sam doesn't work out we should turn some of the gold into a 6 foot tall Battletoad and try to sell it to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop

"Just a few kilos of gold to start out with would be fine," you say. "Then we can figure out how to get rid of the rest of the gold later."

"Fucking alchemists," Sam says, shaking his head and grinning. Hera beams at the two of you.

"So, how legal is your job?" Lin asks.

"Well, the magical goods are usually pretty legal," says Sam. "You know, except when they're antiquities being illegally smuggled out of China or Egypt. The drugs and forged bonds are usually somewhat less legal."

"So you're a mobster?" asks Liz.

"Yeah, kinda?" he says. "It pays great, though, and there's nothing linking me to any of it. We just need to make sure that the Hammers don't catch wind of anything. I'm glad we're not in Ireland or some other Catholic nation."

What now?

I think we should try using our alchemy to directly grab information about our subjects' hormone levels etc. Otherwise we should either start up a medical front company (equipment and test kits get expensive really fast) or burgle a medical supply warehouse. Oh, and wed still need to conert them to run on elemental power and need to train ourself on them. Not great options, well probably have to build our equipment from scratch.

>>24057581

Hammers? Are they like Dextra Domini for magical profiteering or something?

>>24057581
We should ask him to get us a large variate of drugs for use as foci

>>24057569
Stupid unconstitutional gold tracking laws in the us make that a no.

>>24057581
No idea.

>>24057601
Using magic to check the levels means more strain and more rolls.

>>24057604
isn't that a british word for the police?

>>24057581
"In addition to the gold there's something else. Could you pick up some dryad ingredients for me if you see them? I can reimburse you of course. Dragon Blood and Phoenix ash, but a heads up on anything else interesting would be appreciated."

>>24057604
We haven't heard of them yet, as far as I know.

>>24057581
>Hera beams at the two of you.
At some point we need to take Sam aside and find out what exactly he told her.

>>24057636
We already asked him that last night.

>>24057604
>>24057626
Its the name for members of the MM name-I-can't-remember organization that kills demons.

>>24057647
It was Malleus Maleficarum I think

>>24057604
He means the Malius Malificorum it is Laten for witch hammers they are DDs little brother.
>>24057626
you are thinking Bobeys

>>24057581

lets get down to the nity-gritty conversation

>>24057581
Hammers?

>>24057647
Malleus Maleficarum
It's latin for "Hammer of the Witches"

>>24057581
"So, uh, Hera. Not to be impolite, how much has Sam told you about last night?"

>>24057673

no, we ask

"So why did you run last night?"

>>24057624
>strains and rolls issue
Agreed, but doing so directly or building powered equipment for a challenging purpose would help us grow our alchemy skill, which is getting harder to do I might point out.

Still think its actually faster to magic the answer to this problem than go the mundane route.

>>24057658
this is right

>>24057673
No

>>24057678
also no.
We can ask Sam when we get a moment without Her before we go that way.

>>24057673
Lets save that talk for later. this weekend has had enough awkward. Lets just have some small talk, drink some coffee, and enjoy each others company.

>>24057699

derp, i blame tequila

>>24057678
Not really the appropriate time in the conversation. If you find an appropriate way of setting up the question, I'll support it, but otherwise I'm continuing my opposition.

>>24057569
I'd love to do this

>>24057733
Which is why we can't do it...

>>24057680
I disagree with your assessment but if it were correct would get my vote. We would burn precious time skips on it. Fem is stingy and only gives 3 even on month long skips.

>>24057733
it would draw way to much attention to us.

>>24057761
And I think acquiring the equipment would be one time skip action and learning to use it would be a second. Building an item doesn't require us learning to use it. Also, you may be surprise how long it takes some detection kits to run, tends to very but the more sensitive ones can take a very long time to run.

>>24057861
Oh, and we'd have to build a cold room (or get a couple massive fridges) to store temperature sensitive reagents.

>>24057908
we need that anyway >>24057861 but you have a point we can put lunch on that when the wards are finished. I say we can put this off i want to finis the ecosystem and Make magic training toys for our dryad daughters, as well as study more.

>>24057969
Whereas I think our window before Pierre gets his aura sight working is closing.

So, what now?

>>24058051

Small talk for a bit, unless anyone has anything major.

Make sure to hold hands with Liz

>>24058051
Did we ever give Sam that cuppa wank he wanted?

>>24058051
ask about various drugs for foci then go shopping.
as well as other things he could ship out.

>>24058088
No.

>>24058051
Just relax and enjoy being around friends. See if we can't catch Hera alone on the way out to ask her Sam told her about last night.

>>24058088
No, probably shouldn't go rub one out the hand it to Sam in front of Hera though.

>>24058088
no we can do that right before he leaves.

>>24058103
reverse that ask Sam without Hera.
>>24058104
yes

>>24058051
We should ask what the price range for magical items and such is, and if they only take cash or if they're willing to accept gold.

>>24058098
We should get him to 'harvest' it himself.

>>24058088
Well, not in a convenient container.

>>24058051
Small talk I guess, I don't think we have anything in particular to ask about. I am curious as to why Hera reacted like she did last night, but we probably shouldn't ask.

>>24058051
For now, chitchat, maybe use perception to try getting a better read on Hera's body language.

>>24058124
Ask 'em both alone, if possible. Be interesting if their stories line up.

So I was thinking about our new rooms and what we will use then for. Our lab, the rat room, a room for our shape shifting gym, our library, a room for our apothecary cabinets, a work shop. that is six and we have 12 total anything else?

>>24058125
>We should ask what the price range for magical items and such is, and if they only take cash or if they're willing to accept gold.
Yes
We should get him to 'harvest' it himself.
>Maybe not

>>24058145
we can ask Sam when we get a moment alone i bet he knows what i suspect.

>>24058125
>'harvest' it himself
As long as he isn't breaking a promise to Hera (unlikely that there is one given her reaction) and Liz is on board, support. Don't bring it up in conversation though.

We should get things, sexy restraining things.

Like hand cuffs.

>>24058051
Small talk and at some point take Sam aside and ask him what he told Hera.

>>24058230

To be honest we really don't know much about actual bondage IC, but that's what helpful sex shop staff are for!
