Oh yay! Thought it was gonna be another night thread for a bit.

Teach her some simple words, mommy, breakfast, grandpa, her name, house, sky, etc.

Then we gotta go craft foci for our emotion field. And look at Lins project too.

>>24088579
Let's go with this.

>>24088579
Don't forger mamma mommy love and Selene.

Oh hey, question guys. Anyone else think that if we wait too long to teach Selene (or, well, allow her natural instincts) how to drink blood, she may experience difficulty in the future in doing so?

I mean. I'm not sure how hard it is to bite something to drink blood. But it may be beneficial to get her starting young and teaching her how to control herself so as to not drain too much.

'Course, my worries may just end up being unfounded anyway. I just thought I'd bring it up.

>>24088679
Because we had so much difficulty learning to feed off Breakfast, right?

>>24088679
>inb4 someone accuses you of being Snapple trying to bring up bloodrats again

>>24088698
Well, I only thought it up because Snapple brought up that idea.

So we can blame it on him.

>>24088679
>>24088698
>inb4 the whole thread because retarded Snapple memefaggotry again
Fucking hell, you faggots got an early start on shitting up this thread.

>>24088525
give Lin our emotion fled spell notes and read her mind drill notes.

>>24088705
Becomes retarded memefaggotry, even.

>>24088679
I worry about that to but i also worry about sending her bad messages about blood drinking and violence. That is why my vote is to weight till we teach her to drain energy to tech her to drain blood.

>>24088705
>>24088712
We are doomed to repeat ourselves.

>>24088719
Oh yeah, I forgot that, as part-Incubus, Selene could drain energy through sex as well.

Dear old dad did say that he should of been there to teach us earlier on about our own abilities as an incubus. Was he, like, referring to sex-ed for incubi? Or is there anything else we would need to know? Like the Word or other kinds of esoteric incubus knowledge. Well, I guess we can teach her about blood drinking when she develops to the approximate age where dad should of thought Max all the things she should have learned about incubi.

You sit down and show her how to spell some simple words, including her name, then let her start finishing the rest. You go grab your emotional field notes and bring them on up to Lin.

"Oh, cool," she says taking them from you. "I'll be sure to look over them. Here, these are the ones for my mind drill," she says, taking out a spiral-bound notebook and handing it to you. "See what you can do - and what you can use."

What do you do now?

maby bring Selene up to snuggle if she promising to not distract momma and aunty Lin while we work.

>>24088850
we need to do that before Pierre asks us for help with his spell tonight.

>>24088858
We left Selene some words to copy so that she could practice writing.

>>24088880
Wait, Pierre asked us to help him tonight?

>>24088880
If we can't figure out something else, it seems the easiest option would be to just use enchantment to make him not aim it at Max. Or just forget about it the second he sees our aura.

The other option will probably be to "roll soul to convince him that he messed up and there's no way we could be an icky demon."

>>24088913
That could work. Maybe convince him that, since we helped him so much to get it working, some of our totally human aura rubbed off on it, so it gives a false positive for us alone.

>>24088897
We were also don for a almost a whole day she misses us.
>>24088902
no but we expect him to call begging for help.

Wow, these threads have gotten quite shitty.

>>24089181
Which work for foci. Not clothes. Making clothes with alchemy will give us strain, which will take away a die for making foci.

Its not quite related to the current post, but it seems like Selene knows to instinctually stay away from a dryad seedling while its hatching so that it can imprint on the Grovemother. We should ask her to make sure she comes and gets us whenever she thinks the dryad is about to hatch. She probably would anyways, but it never hurts to ask.

>>24089251
Then stop shitposting and they might not be quite so shitty.

>>24088773
look at the notes, understand the different parts of the spell, see how we could work it into ours, and work ours into it.

>>24089297
Doesnt help if the rest of the thread is too busy circlejerking over bad jokes and tripfags.

You sit down and start going over the notes, trying to both understand the details of the Mind Drill and how to incorporate its peculiar functions into your own spells.

Roll Mind. You get a +2 from Focus, a +2 from Calm, and a +1 from Memory. I'll consider the first eight linked 1d100 rolls.

You're not sure if Lin actually realizes what she has here. If she did, would she only use it to get back her old memories faster? If her notes are right - and if your extrapolation from those notes are right, this doesn't just restore suppressed memories, it reassembles completely lost memories based on the imprint left behind on the soul.

Is that how Lin's reincarnation works? Does her mind do this automatically, reassembling memories that minds attached to her soul used to have? Regardless, this spell - or at least the theories that govern it - could be put to incredible use in repairing mental damage, even seemingly permanent mental damage, like what that mind virus did to Lunch.

What do you do?

>>24089455
Oh shit. We might want to share this with dad.

And god fucking damnit this means another 5000 posts about the morality of Breakfast.

>>24089455
Does this mean we can potentially regenerate any mental damage as long as our soul is intact?

I'd get to work on permanently enchanting ourselves with something like that.

>>24089455
Holy fuck, we need to share this with dad, it'll be invaluable if any of our group are ever subject to mindbreak, and if dad and Max both learn how to do it, that means there'll hopefully always be one to bring back the other if things go very bad.

Rolled 94

>>24089455
Tell dad.
Using that won't remove the enchantments that make her love and obey us, right?

>>24089455
Totally could use this on making Breakfast more useful as a magical assistant and on getting information about Lunch's society.

So guys, any ideas on how we could apply this to our own emotional field spell?

>>24089495
That's an awesome idea. Self augment with this spell to give mental regeneration.

And it sounds like this thing is going to regen mental damage fast if we get it up a few tiers.

We mental Alucard now. Throw our mind through a woodchipper and it comes out swinging.

>>24089455
Excuse ourselves go talk about this to dad tell him it is secret and to tell no one unless we say so ore to restore us if we get mind fucked.

>I'd get to work on permanently enchanting ourselves with something like that.

yesyesyesyesyesyeysyesyesyesyesyes

>>24089455
Firstly, we should actually give Lin some feedback and useful suggestions on how to improve, since that was kind of the point of going through her notes, then we ask if we can take them to dad to ask him about something quickly, and we go discuss it with him.

>>24089455
That's dangerous I like it lets chat with dad about it, see what he has to say.

if Lin asks tell her we "want to run parts of it by my dad because I am are not sure of the implications. "

Do we actually have any reason to hide this information from Lin?

Because if we don't, I say we share it with her.

>>24089455
Tell dad.
"Lin is secretly a genius and I'm not sure if she even knows."

>>24089455
Share what we found with Dad and Lin

We need to figure out if it would be possible to recover Lunch's [REDACTED] memories without breaking our hold over her at some point. This is possibly something to research.

>Ifjoyar blackcock
Well sure captcha, Lunch's memories might have a black cock or two in them.

>>24089455
Tell lin
then go and tell dad too

>>24089539
As you can see form last night that can have side efects but i am still for it
>>24089527
I think we would be slower than Alucard level more like mental wolverine at best.

>>24089542
as long as we don't let on what we discovered yet.
also >>24089546

>>24089455
Share this with Lin, and ask if we can go talk to dad about it. This project isn't dangerous to us, so there's no harm in Lin knowing.

>>24089565
Considering she was an archmage in one of her past lives...

Lin is totally one of our allies with the most potential.

>>24089573
>recover memories
>break her again

It would be 4 people with foci versus her without any foci.

>>24089592
I'm sure we could do it that way, I'd just rather try and figure out a less traumatic means of accessing those memories first.

>>24089563
>>24089565
>>24089567
>>24089574
we should wait until we are sure of what we have and know dads opinion i would Tell Lin but not quite yet.

>>24089592
Also, it would just restore her old memories.
I don't think that will remove the brain washing

>>24089582
While I don't think there's any harm in Lin knowing, we might want to suggest to her that she not unveil the full potential applications of this power in her presentation.

After all, do we want Petrov to know about it.

>>24089606
agree, we may need to convince her to fail this seams like something a archmagi would teloport you into the sun over.

>>24089619
not only that but if we do it right we can be selective in our restoration of Lunch and Breakfast and only restore what we want restored Like Breakfast's magic math language skills reading and writing but not much else.

>>24089625
yes that would be very very very bad.

>>24089651
She doesn't need to fail, she just needs to make sure that some of the more complex parts of this are omitted from her presentation, it'll still be a good spell worthy of a decent grade, just not an amazing spell.

>>24089651
that is another reason to not tell her about this application then after the presentation we inform her and tell her why we held out on her.

>>24089679
the best cover is not knowing you are hiding anything.

>>24089679
Guys, I think we can trust Lin enough to not hide this. Tell her and we can all consult dad on what aspects of the spell to hide. She trusts us enough to listen for advice.

Don't think it's a good idea to restore the meal's memories. That will probably cause conflicted emotions and remind them that we're their supposed enemy.

>>24089679
She might be mad at us for hiding that from her though.

>>24089715
Hence why we need to discuss it with dad and figure out how to get at some of those memories without causing problems.

>>24089713
As an addendum, we shouldn't assume that there's a problem. I don't think there actually is! I think FemCOCK's wording was just supposed to imply that Lin did not realize the full potential of her spell.

>>24089715
If it backfires. With refinement, this spell could just selectively restore certain memories. And with our skill at enchantment, we can change it for our purposes; make it so that WE get the memory, but not our target.

>>24089721
just until we talk it over with dad and are sure We are going to talk with her about it right after that.

Sounds like the consensus is to go discuss this revelation with your father. Is that accurate?

>>24089829
That's right.

>>24089829
yes

>>24089829
Yeah

>>24089746
At the latest until after she shows Petrove so that she has plausible deniablity. If we show it that way she will understand she may not like it though.
>>24089715
that is why we use it very selectively and re remove any memories that will be a problem.

>>24089829
Let's explain it to him, and later to Lin, as wanting to make sure we're reading it right, rather than knowing we have and wanting to discuss the implications. That seems like something we could more easily justify to Lin: consulted an expert to make sure we understood this correctly, because it seemed so unbelievable.

>>24089829
yep

>>24089829
"Lin, I gotta go make sure I did my cacalations right. Because this might be the most amazing spell I've seen."

say this then rush down to dad

>>24089895
remember how she said that if this worked she would try to make the drill one of the first memories to resurface? What if one of her past lives invented the spell and arranged her reincarnation/let nature take its coarse. Then set it to auto run and this is the original mind drill making itself easy to find.

"Lin, I think I need a second opinion on this," you say. "This is absolutely amazing."

"Really?" Lin asks. "Sure, go ahead, I'll just be here."

You dash off down the ladder, finding your dad working on the wards about halfway down the sub-basement spiral. "Dad," you say. "Dad!"

"Yes, Max?" he asks.

"Have you take a look at Lin's mind drill project yet?" you ask.

"No," he says, furrowing his brows. "Why?"

"Just come here and take a look."

"Holy shit," your dad agrees as you show it all to him. "You're saying Lin made this up? This is an incredible technique for the restoration of mental damage. I can see why it would be taxing, though, because of how slow and intricate it is."

"Yeah," you agree. "It's no wonder she had a reaction like that if trying to operate something like this with drugs in her system. So, do you think that we could use this to figure out who put that mind virus in Lunch's head?"

"No," your dad says quite seriously. "This is an incredibly specialized application. We might be able to put together a new spell to do that after consulting the theories in this spell, but I doubt that we could use this for anything other than, well, restoring memories imprinted on a soul after reincarnation."

What now?

>>24090117

>>24090086
back up to Lin "ok its just a super great start, I with some tweaking we could have this restore Lunches memories of her society. also even dad thinks its great" (did we figure out any way to make it better/ help?)

>>24090086
well it is good that we know how to do it in theory.

I say wait until after the presentation.

We are never teaching Lunch or Breakfast this spell.

>>24090117
Yes reason to tell Lin. It will help her better refine the spell and that could lead it being easier for us to modify in the future.

>>24090141
you are right we have lots of reasons to tell Lin.
>>24090117
The only reason not to tell Lin is plausible deniabiliy and everyone else is of different opinion than me on that and i wont fit hard for it.

>>24090162
Why would we need plausible deniability for her? What's the danger of having Petrov know?

>>24090137
they CAN"T betray us the more memories they regain the more useful they are to us.

what dose everyone think of telling her our discovery is so big it may be wiser to weight until Petrove can't infer it from her knowledge of her work.

>>24090180
It makes her and us bigger targets for his schemes we don't want that,

Also this may allow our emotion spell to twang the souls of its targets directly with our desired emotion as well as making the amplifier version easier to make.

>>24090217
>It makes her and us bigger targets for his schemes we don't want that,
>implying Petrov hasn't planted magical surveillance bugs on all the students
What makes you think he doesn't already know?

What makes you think he isn't watching us fuck? (aside from liking men)

>>24090086
Cool, tell Lin about how badass her spell is.

>>24090190
I want them to be happy and Loyal willingly wit a magic backup enforcing that willingness. There memories especially Breakfasts former hate and paranoia of Demons could ruin that,

>>24090217
I don't see how it'd make us bigger targets; explain your reasoning.

I like your suggestion; make the emotion seem more natural and unquestionable to the target, right?

"Okay," you tell your dad. "Thanks for the help."

"No problem, Max," he says.

You climb your way back up to the sitting room after that. Lin is still reading your notes. "Hey," you ask her. "How did you figure out how to do this?"

"How to do what?" she asks.

"This mind drill. It restores missing memories based on the imprint they left on the soul. This could be used for all kinds of mind-healing spells, at least the theories behind it," you say.

"Huh," she says, looking genuinely surprised. "Really? I found my mind doing the stuff in the mind drill already, while meditating. The mind drill is just a bigger, faster, more aggressive version of that process."

"So you're saying that you had no idea about the particulars of why and how the spell did this?" you ask.

"I, uh," she says. "I thought it was digging up repressed memories and reassembling them from fragments, not building the fragments in the first place based on the soul. Now that you tell me, though, it seems obvious. So, you find any way to improve it?"

You haven't actually gotten that far yet, but you're betting you could find a way to incorporate the subtle modifications to your field spell to make the mind drill less distracting and less of a drain on metal resources, if you put your mind to it.

What do you say?

Let's say that, then.

>>24090250
"Perhaps this isn't the first time that you've developed these techniques, if they come so naturally? Or perhaps it's an extension of whatever causes you to reincarnate in the first place."

A suggestion for improving Lin's mind drill: Using our own emotional field spell's concepts, we could cut down on the target's (in this case, Lin, since she uses it on herself) resistance to digging up memories. People can put up small barriers (like frustration) in their heads that prevent them from remembering or understanding something, so the emotional field spell can be used to ease the process (I think).

>>24090289
I thought that was a suggestion to improve our own spell?

>>24090319
I can't agree with that reasoning on why we would want Lin to hide the capabilities of her spell.

>>24090347
No, our spells has modifications that are specifically there to make it more subtle, that's a suggestion to use those modifications on her mind drill to make it easier on her.

>>24090247
they are already Magically loyal, we are not undoing that ever, we still treat her well and we can remove memories we don't like latter.

not to mention society secrets from lunch.

>>24090347
>I thought that was a suggestion to improve our own spell?
Read it again it is for the drill. My ideas >>24090319 and >>24090319 are for the emotion field

>I can't agree with that reasoning on why we would want Lin to hide the capabilities of her spell.
We can agree to disagree but i would rather play it safe.

>>24090368
let's put restore their memories on the list of stuff to do after Monday, together with mess with Pierre and make Lunch a slutty maid costume

>>24090362
Oh, well, that's actually just what I stated. Hah!

>>24090384
yea of course its a longer term goal, hell dad would probable like to try it after he finishes the wards and gets his foci built back up

>>24090380
The thing is, I can't agree with not letting Lin show her potential because of your fear of Petrov taking advantage of her. Anyone already in the upper-tier of the class is in danger of that, then. You saying that this is "some archmage level shit" is just you blowing it up unnecessarily.

>>24090384
How lewd....

I hope she can still feel ashamed enough of these kinds of things to make it enjoyable.

>>24090440
completely agree with you

>>24090347
On that subject: it sounds like our emotion spell would be useful for aiding meditation and other situations in which we need focus.

And we need to weaponize it at some point to disrupt the focus of enemies.

>>24090486
Like our Mental Attack foci?

>>24090486
we could make a permanent fled of calm, and focus in the study room to help Selene and Liz learn better/quicker.

>>24090531
More like a subtle aura of distraction that can slip beneath mental defenses.

>>24090560
and weakens/undermines defenses from the inside

>>24090368
As long as we take out any problem memories I am all for restoring most of there minds just not all.
>>24090384
I will update the wiki

>>24090440
we can at least warn Lin about it even if we don't force secrecy on her.

>is just you blowing it up unnecessarily.
I believe what i said in >>24089964 is true. That she invented this spell as an archmage. I think it is literally an archmage spell she invented in a past life. Now she is rehashing it like she said she would set up if the spell worked.

>>24090486
>>24090539
already in the to do list on the Wiki.

>>24090600
The thing is, Petrov already knows about the spell and whether or not Lin is capable of doing it because of the workshop sessions.

So the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak.

>>24090641
he may not realize the implications but i see your point. If he doesn't see the implications he may not read Lins mind. If she doesn't blab about it everything is probably ok. I still think i am advocating a good principle even if I might be taking it to far into conflict with other good principles.

>>24090684
so is the consensus to say
>You haven't actually gotten that far yet, but you're betting you could find a way to incorporate the subtle modifications to your field spell to make the mind drill less distracting and less of a drain on metal resources, if you put your mind to it.
and also warn her that blabbing all this to Petrove may be a bad idea and let her decide what to do with it?

>>24090700
yes but for the second part dont do that, its a dick thing to say

>>24090700
I don't think it really matters what petrov knows, I'm more in line of Lin getting jumped up in the rankings if petrov ends up knowing the implications of her spell, which makes her and us safer from attack from desperate lowbies.

"Yeah, I, uh, haven't gotten started on that yet," you say. "I was mostly surprised by all of this. I think I could make it more subtle and take up less mental resources, though."

"Cool," says Lin with a smile. "I'll take whatever help I can get."

You sit back down and get back to work. Roll Mind to work on adjusting the spell. You get a +2 for Focus. Calm and Memory don't help here. I'll consider the first five linked 1d100 rolls.

>>24090684
Well, I disagree. I see no danger in it and I'd rather Lin get a good grade appropriate for her talents.

It's time.

As usual, Max am brain good.

The dice gods don't want us helping Lin it seems.

In other news, focus is the best augment. Hands down.

We should get it up to +5 this week.

>>24090746
well I also think Dane is internationally getting himself under graded and that it is a decant plan so we have different opinions.

>>24090849
What reason do you have to believe that Dane is doing that?

>>24090849
If we were going to play like Dane we'd be living alone.

>>24090865
Because in one of the threads fem told us some info about Dane.

Part of it was something about a rumor that he intentionally fails things so that nobody knows his true capabilities.

>>24090849
Doing that makes people think we're weaker than we are, and so would come after us to increase their own rankings more easily. I'd rather not have anyone come after us out of fear, thanks.

>>24090884
I think it was more like Dane did not show what he was exactly capable of to his classmates, not that he hid his ability from his teachers to intentionally lower his own ranking.

But it wasn't the point that anon was going for; he wanted us to stay under Petrov's radar, and I said the point was moot.

>>24090865
>>24090884
this i believe that to be true
>>24090867
We can take some pages out of his book without being just like him though now might not be the time for this one.
>>24090888
you may be right that strategy is safer and more effective in higher circles.

My main problem is people are blowing me off and not considering negative implications I bring up. As opposed to judging for or against ideas based on reasoning like myself and this anon here>>24090888.
>>24090888
has convinced me that we should weight on that plan if we ever impediment it. I still think we should consider it starting around 3rd-4th circle.

>>24091002
It's not that I didn't consider that; I'm just saying it's irrelevant in our current situation.

>>24090775
pfffffffthahahahaha

this anon is also right >>24090998
and i forgot to mention it >>24091002

I do think Dane is intentional lowering his ranking and plans to go archmage I think he wants his future colleges/rivals to underestimate him. But that discussion is not pertinent right now.

>>24091026
than pleas in the future explain why so that hopefully we can come to an agreement.

Are you trying to fail all our rolls?

Then why should he kill the person that's in front of him if he can just get a better ranking?
I think killing that other student was a lot riskier than doing better in class

3 reasons
1 they are actually ahead of him just not as far as everyone thinks.
2 taking rivals out reveals less of his ability to everyone.
3 he thinks that will be stronger than he can handle later even if he can take them now.

this is a bit of a stretch but it is what i believe.

You don't make even a bit of progress. This spell is big and intricate and it's hard to apply your concepts to it. It's honestly pretty frustrating, getting more frustrating the more you try.

What do you do now?

>>24091144
You've never seen the movie Mimic?

>>24091174
try it again, we will over come.

>>24091174
Meditate on it.

>>24091174
Meditate to calm ourself down, then try again?

>>24091174
Oh well. Leave Lin with our notes. We need to get crackin on some foci for our spell.

>>24091174
try again
what time is it?

>>24091174
Let's take one more go at it before we give up.

>>24091193
>>24091174
Some meditation may be in order before we try again.

>>24091174
Let's whip up some Foci for this spell, we'll take a look at her notes and try to apply them to it later, but for now we want some Foci so we can be sure that we'll pull it off properly for any demonstrations.

>>24091203
>>24091193
>>24091213
Our +calm augment didn't help. Why would meditating to calm ourselves help?

>>24091207
A little after noon.

>>24091174
Start on the foci for our project. Come back to help once all our strain goes away.

Lin will be up late, just like us.

>>24091238
Meditation gives us a bonus to what we're meditating on if i remember correctly

>>24091174
make foci for our project then try again.
ask Lin how she is doing.

>>24091193
>>24091203
>>24091213
meditation wont help
>>24091238 is right

>>24091287
sometimes this is not one of them you are mistaken and meditation takes like 3 hours.

>>24091180
I don't think so

>>24091277
research doesn't use magic it uses mind so we can have enchantment 0 left and still be at max to do research. So foci now and do research while that recovers.

I suppose now would be a bad time to suggest using a spell to temporarily buff our focus? Might be useful to have an extra die...

>>24091174
Tell Lin that we'll get back to her later and take another look, but that we're going to whip up some permanent Foci for our spell first.

If Lunch isn't busy use her as an assistant.

>>24091423
Once we get some foci made for our spell we can go ahead and drop it on the whole tower.

Not like anyone in here couldn't use some focus.

>>24091426
She can assist us with our boner.

At some point today we need to get dad to teach us some basic aura masking, Sam may not care if Pierre knows he's demonic, but we should stay hidden if we want our plans for Pierre to be successful.

>>24091338
Well the monsters in that movie are genetically engineered matid/cockroach or whatever hybrids that grow out of control and gain the ability to mimic humans.

I blame the dipshit scientists making the entire population female with one male and expecting them to die out after a few months.

>>24091426
Sure, but phrase it more as, "I need to let this settle more before I'm going to be useful Lin. I'll be back when I have something."

>>24091495
This is true, we can ask dad about it later.

>>24091489
That too. She hasn't gotten her regular dose of her Mistress's cock for a while, we'll fix that after some crafting.

>>24091468
Fine by me. Let everyone know what we're doing first though, we don't want any out of control paranoia in the tower.

>>24091468
>cast focus on whole tower
>Skaði gets super focused on hatching
>preemie jotunn dryad
>we have to use Liz's spirit forge on her.

>>24091572
Hilarious, but you know we can exclude people from the spell, right?

>>24091572
>Skaði gets super focused on hatching
That's not how it works. That's like saying that a bald man can grow his hair back by thinking really hard.

>>24091572
Lest exclude her just for my paranoia.
also i thought we were going with either Skathi or Andvara. I for one have no idea how to pronounce an ð she should be able to type her name on a normal English keyboard.

I see some votes for trying again, some for meditating, and some for going and making foci for your own project.

What do you do?

>>24091807
It's the evening currently, right? We've got time to try again.

>>24091807
Try again.

>>24091807
foci

>>24091807
Go and whip up some foci for our own project, if we that taken care of with time to spare we can try again some more.

>>24091819
It's noon, we've got tons of time.

>>24091807
Take another shot at it, it won't take long.

>>24090600
Ok, catching up but to be clear are you proposing that Lin became an archmage, modified her soul to reincarnate if it didn't already and to regain memories more quickly (and put the memory of how to make spells to rebuild memory fragments from her reincarnating soul) and then killed herself (well, I suppose she could have been a guy in that life, whatever) in order to learn the secrets of other societies or avoid the heavy weight of responsibility and boredom her position forced her to labor under? We have the most interesting roommate.

>>24091807
Foci.

>>24091850
Lin was reincarnating even before she became an archmage, I think.

Nothing that indicates she ever killed herself, though.

>>24091807
Let's take one more try with Lin's project.

>>24091807
give it another go help Lin out.

>>24091807
Tell Lin you need to take a breather from this and work on something unrelated for a bit. Grab lunch and make a couple of foci (I guess these will be physical and not tattoos if we're using lunch. Is there any ruling on converting foci to magic items or can you not just add a power source and control enchantment?) then get back to working on Lin's spell.

>>24091872
I tend to think the leading causes for archmagi are boredom and recklessness. Anyway, thank you for clearing that up, though I admit to some disappointment.

>>24091935
>leading causes of death for archmagi
Sorry, phone post issue

>>24091872
Well, aside from her listing a suicide as one of the more psychotic things she did in a past life, but I suppose that isn't really applicable to the life in question.

>>24091807
Let's have one more go. Did we give Lin our project notes to go over?

>>24092271
We did, how about this for a compromise. Get Lunch foci gathering for us and give modifying Lin's spell one more try on our own. It's not like she added a die (or helped?) last time around, so let her get more familiar with our notes in the meantime. If we get nothing, do some tai chi to relax then get foci crafting, if we succeed, try explaining it to Lin, then get foci crafting.

If that is unacceptable, get foci gathering/crafting with Lunch, the recover some energy before heading back to Lin.

>>24092343
I like the first part.

>>24091807
foci then try again. So we can recharge Alchemy while we work on projects.

>>24091850
other than the killed herself bit yes that is my belief. I also don't know if the reincarnation thing is planed, special but natural, or if all humans do it.

>>24092343
works for me

>>24092412
Why not use the mana batteries to recharge?

>>24092412
I think it's probably planned, but it compiled be a natural consequence of Lin attaining enlightenment in her first life. Given dad's stance in the kill or reconfigure enemies debate, I'm guessing most humans don't reincarnate, but that could be a missunderstanding on his part I suppose.

>>24092493
>Why not use the mana batteries to recharge?
We don't have any "mana batteries". We have the meals to fuck.

Yeah, you've got nothing. You still make not even a bit of progress. It's really fucking frustrating. Every time you figure out how to implement one of your fixes, it ends up breaking some important function in the intricate spell.

What do you do now?

>>24092946

Hug Lin, tell her we're useless today, and we'll see if we can help again later.

Go work on foci for our spell for tomorrow so we don't move down a rank, but first, check on our new sub, see if she needs help.

>>24092946
Leave it alone for now. Tell Lin we'll let it percolate for a bit while we do some other stuff.

Give her a kiss, grab Lunch, gather Temp Foci, make some Foci for our spell.

>>24092946
Get lunch on foci gathering, take ten minutes for ourself to take a shower or do something else to relax, or at least take the edge of the frustration. Then get to work foci crafting.

>>24092946
We'll just have to apologise to Lin, tell her that since her spell turned out to be far more complicated than we'd figured, we can't really improve it any.

>>24092990
Interesting, when you are seething with frustration your first impulse is to go hug someone. Also, I don't think Lin is in the room with us.

>>24092946
"Ok, this is going nowhere. I'm gonna make some foci for my project and clear my head for a bit and then try again later while I'm waiting for the alchemy strain to wear off"

>>24092993
No to the kiss, yes to everything else.

>24092990
If by new sub you mean Liz then you should realize that she's been our sub for awhile now.

>>24092993
Do not disturb Liz! We don't want our failure rubbing off.

>>24092946
How much time did we just waste?

>>24093081
What's wrong with kisses? Seriously?

We kiss a lot of people during sex and not during sex, it doesn't mean that we're betraying Liz or anything like that.

>>24093094
I didn't say anything about Liz.

>>24093094
...should have linked >>24092990
...MaxFail is contagious...

>>24092946
Foci also pop in and see hoe Liz and Selena are doing.

>>24092946
We still gotta ask why she wasnt scared of catching anything during her orgy.

Lets do that.

"You know, when you had your little mini orgy in the bathroom? Aren't you scared of catching something?"

>>24093126
Because kisses, except possibly as a greeting, are a sign of romantic or familial affection. You don't kiss friends just out of the blue during conversations, even if they're friends you sometimes fuck.
