New rules:
1. Your foci are now capped by your magic skill. You can have up to as many permanent and temporary foci as your skill in a given school of magic. For example, Max has Enchantment 4, and, as such, can have up to four temporary foci and four permanent foci, for a total of twelve dice, on any given roll.

2. Getting help from someone on a roll now adds 1/2 of their score in that skill, rounded down, instead of +1. Yes, that does mean that someone with a score of 1 isn't any help to anyone. In the event of casting spells, that also raises your focus limit accordingly. If Max helped Samyaza with Enchantment, he would have a functional score of 7, and a maximum pool with foci of 21.

3. Miscellaneous bonuses, like augments and situational modifiers, only apply to the main roller. They're not counted when figuring out how much of a bonus is added when assisting someone. If you would have liked Max's augments to be more help when aiding someone - like when helping someone climb, for example - carry them up instead of helping them, because you'll just provide 1/2 of your body skill otherwise.

4. I'm starting a common sense filter. Dick slaps, neck snaps, Max leather, and Hearts of Power will be laughed at, but ignored. If you were serious, I'm sorry.

Thank God.

If we haven't woken up Liz yet, we really should.

>>24239871
Welcome back, Femcock, I'm liking these new rules, especially 4.

I seem to recall the plan was to go tell Liz about the spirit forge, right away.

>>24239867
Definitely time to wake Liz up.

>>24239867

>>24239871
What about only having sugestions linked to your last post count and everything else will be considered just discussion , or was that rule scraped?

Well, shit, you hope you didn't leave it too long. You head on down to the bedroom, where Liz is fast asleep, and shake her gently awake. "Huh?" she asks, rubbing her eyes slowly and yawning. "What is it, Mistress?"

"Your spirit forge," you tell her. "The wax is melting."

"Oh no," she says, an expression of acute worry crossing her face. She starts hurrying up the ladder with you following her closely. When you get up there, she's frowning and looking slowly around the forge - checking for cracks and what shade the designs are glowing, you would reckon. She tries to touch it, but pulls her hands quickly away when it proves too hot. "It's going to crack soon," she tells you, clearly worried. She pulls out three simple, pointed metal styluses, the same ones she was using before to carve those designs in the first place. "I think I see where the problems are too. You're tougher than me; can you help me with this? I'll walk you through everything you need to do."

What do you do?

>>24240177
"Sure, what do you need me to do?"

>>24240177
Alright, lets do it.

Do we need another set of hands? I suggest we yell for dad while we get started.

>>24240177
ask her what she needs us to do.
i get te feeling were going to have some burns by the end of this

"Sure," you say. "Do I have time to go grab my dad, or...?"

"Maybe?" Liz says, worriedly. "I'm not sure how long we have until it cracks, and that could ruin the project... I would really prefer doing it right now, if that's okay. It shouldn't be too hard."

"Okay, fine," you say. "Let's get to it, then."

"Oh, thank goodness," Liz says, handing you the styluses. "I'll point out where you need to make new marks. Let's go."

Roll Conjuration. You get a +1 from Liz helping you and a +3 from permanent foci. I'll consider the first six linked 1d100 rolls.

>>24240393
Liz does, 3 of them, they're on her sheet. We obviously weren't the only one who thought to make project-specific foci.

>>24240345
You manage to make the right marks in the right places, with Liz's helpful instruction. It sort of makes sense, the designs, the way they channel energy. It doesn't crack either.

The pattern's glow starts fading almost instantly, disappearing entirely in seconds. You're willing to bet it's cooling off too, though that will take longer, as the heat radiates off of it into the room. Liz looks visibly relieved and starts looking over it carefully. You set the tools down next to the spirit forge and take a look at your hands.

Roll Body to have not gotten burned. You get a +2 for Durability. I'll consider the first six linked 1d100 rolls.

Femcock, I see talk of caps on Foci based on magical skill, and that augments don't help people when you're assisting them, but is there any sort of cap on augments beyond the time and effort to build up to the higher levels?

>>24240550
Your hands remained - thankfully - undamaged. It got pretty hot there for a bit, and you were worried that your fingertips might have blistered or something. Liz takes notice of you looking at your hands and takes a look over them too. "Looks like you're fine, Mistress," she tells you with a smile, then kisses your hands. She gives you a big hug. "Thank you so much for helping me with this. If you hadn't been checking on it, and hadn't been around to help fix it up, it could have been bad."

What do you do now? What's the plan for the rest of the night?

>>24240607
Keep an eye on it. We don't need this happening again.

Rolled 26

>>24240607
Let's test our emotion manipulation spell by making Lunch very horny. I wonder if it works when she's asleep?

>>24240607
Seems like we've got enough Foci for our project for now, so it might be worth doing something else. What's our sleep situation? Do we still have a few days sleep stockpiled, or should be get a couple of hours tonight?

If we can, we should spend the night by Liz's project keeping an eye on it. We can study something to pass the time. Conjuration maybe?

Rolled 4, 5, 8, 7, 1 = 25

>>24240607work on spell keep eye on forge.

>>24240607
lets keep an eye on liz's project, we can look over our notes on our spell till morning then make breakfast for very one.

>>24240650
You have a few days stockpiled. You slept for quiet a few hours of last night in Paris.

>>24240815
Does the maximum number of temp and perm foci go down if we have strain ?

>>24240875
Yes.

>>24240607
Get Liz back into bed with minimal fooling around. Some people have not been busy turning themself into a super vill.. hero. A superhero.. and she still needs plenty of sleep.

Thinking back.. the modified mind-drill spell to recover memories on a soul level. Are they necessarily only recovered to the mind that they dwell in or can they be siphoned off/viewed as they are recovered?

Because spending late nights slowly recovering and siphoning away secrets that the meals don't even realize they have sounds super neat.

You spend the rest of the night reading back over your notes and checking back in on Liz's project periodically. You don't glean any new information or come up with any big new insights from your notes. Liz's project slowly but steadily cools down, until it's just rough, cool terracotta again, the wax drippings hardening over it again too.

As the morning comes, you take the time to make breakfast for everyone too. Lin comes in while you're cooking to chat, but doesn't do much aside from hand you ingredients and implements as you ask for them. As you're finishing up, Lin heads out to wake everyone up and tell them food is ready. Liz comes in carrying Selene first, followed shortly by Lin climbing back up the ladder, and then Lunch and Breakfast, both looking well-rested and content.

You all eat up, chatting and relaxing in a sort of horribly weird, enormously dysfunctional family. Breakfast helps feed Selene, Lunch warily eyes Liz while talking to Lin, and you and Liz talk about her project, with you giving her the update on how it's doing. As you finish up, Selene goes riding off on Breakfast's shoulders with Lunch in close pursuit, and Liz and Lin head down for showers and other grooming.

Do you do anything else this morning, or just get ready for school?

>>24240607
I guess we might as well keep an eye on the thing while doing something less stressful to our body. About how much time to do we have before we need to start getting ready for class?

>>24240963
>Lunch warily eyes Liz
Is this just Lunch and her usual nervousness around Liz, or is there something we should be worried about?

>>24239871
ya for the new rules i will update the wiki later.
>>24240604
ditto that question
>>24240963
clean up ask Lunch what is wrong

I like the timing style shift so far.

>>24240963
If we've got time, we should gather some temporary foci for our project presentation.

I take it our point of Conjuration strain from helping Liz last night has worn off by now?

>>24240963
gather 2 sets of foci for the emotion spell, and a film case of our cum for sam

>>24241000
>>24241010
I think it's just because Liz enjoys 'disciplining' the pets. Lunch was wary of Max at first too, but we've since been very nice to her.

>>24240963
Have you taken a look at the utility belt section of the wiki, to get an idea of the things we have thought would be good in it. So that if we suggest something on that list we have it. Or you can tell us if we don't carry any?

>>24241011
Hopefully it'll have worn off by the time we present if it hasn't worn off just yet.

If Lunch's pointed nervousness is of no worry, then there's really nothing to do but gather foci and get on to class.

>>24240963
Gather some gold to give to sam to sell.
Might as well get it out of the way now

>>24241030
I think so to but want to be sure.
Plus Liz may have gone overboard at some point and need to be warned, we just punished her jealousy so she gets a warning for any old bad behavior.

>>24241104
yes just a few pounds right now so he has a sample to show the buyer.

>>24241011
Seconding this, gather up some temporary foci for our presentation.

>>24241149
3rd assuming we don't already have them.

>>24240963
talk with Lunch, then
Gather temporary foci and some gold for sam

>>24241174
this don't forget our fluids as well

>>24240963
Group shower time!

So, uh, do we even have any idea what will be coming out of the spirit forge? In theory it should be a sentient or near sentient being. Right?

>>24239871
I just want to say that I like the rules change, rules 1& 2 actually make it worthwhile to fill in a skill box, rather than keep everything as low as possible to raise skills and make a bajillion foci.

>>24241190
they will go bad sitting in class he or Liz can harvest them in the bathroom after class. But we should bring a cup for them.

>>24241104
Let's give him, like, one piece of a small denomination of gold. No mar than one bar. A whole bar is easily like $50,000, so just as a way to test to see if he can actually move the material, let's give him a single bar after class.

>>24241221
I don't know if Liz ever specified sentience, basically it helps speed up the growing and advancement process. So it will be a more powerful version of whatever sort of spirit it was she poured in in the first place.

>>24241221
no idea i don't think so though just a stronger spirit probably form no brain to gaviscon level.

>>24241231
Why?
We can make basically unlimited amounts of gold. If he can't sell it or something we just make more

>>24241221
It's supposed to be "better" than before, if I recall Liz's wording properly. It's like a magnetic coil or something, collecting energy from the area around it and feeding it into the elemental. At least, that's what it looks like to me. Since Elementals are effectively timeless beings, "maturity" is more or less just the accumulation of energy. If the water elemental would naturally gain sentience, I imagine it will have it to some degree when it comes out.

>>24241224
I say we get sanity 1 first then yes do it.

>>24241272
this is what i gathered as well

>>24241271
so as not to overload his contacts and raise to much suspicion Like Sam said in Paris.

Rolled 10

>>24241305
It's not as though he needs to sell off everything we give him all at once, if we give him a decent stock however, he can sell it off as demand rises and sell larger orders if they come available.

>>24241271
It's a matter of keeping prying and greedy eyes away from Sam. One gold bar is nothing special, more than likely, but ten might catch some hungry eyes.

You collect some temporary foci for your emotional field spell - the two you had been using to craft the permanent foci before, some smiley faces, and a little alcohol. It should make it pretty easy to produce an effect of contentedness and happiness for demonstration. Once those are all collected and put away, you go see Lunch, who's sitting in a chair in the sitting room and reading while Breakfast lets Selene try to wrestle with her.

"Hey," you say to Lunch. "You seemed a little wary around Liz. Is everything okay?"

"Yes," Lunch says quickly. She looks down, presses her legs together, and blushes. "She, um, disciplines me a lot. When I make mistakes. It's embarrassing."

"Do you want me to talk to her about it?" you ask her.

"No!" she insists. "Uh, no. It's okay. I deserve to be disciplined when I'm bad. Even if it's, um, embarrassing."

"Okay," you tell her, then head on downstairs. You get showered, dressed, and everything packed and ready to go. You head up to the outbound room, where Liz and Lin are already ready and waiting, standing around and talking. Liz is carrying her Spirit Forge, and you see Lin with her big spiral-bound notebook on the Mind Drill.

"Hey," Liz says, giving you a big one-armed hug. "Do you need to grab anything, or are we ready to go?"

>>24241380
If we've got all our foci and notes, then it's time to head out.

>>24241340
Lunch is so cute
>>24241398
this

>>24241380
grab the gold for sam

>>24241410
Yes, she is

>>24241380
We good. Lunch is adorable. Mmm, right, Lunch. I forgot to keep working on that fapfic over the weekend. Sorry if you were hoping for more when I showed up, Milady.

>>24241424
I'm saving posting my one until the thread is over, don't want to distract people.

>>24241433
It would definitely distract me.

"Nope, I'm ready to go," you tell them. A few minutes later, after grabbing your dad and Lunch, the three of you are standing outside of class. A lot of people are very nervous, some are working on large contraptions, most have stacks, folders, binders, and notebooks of notes. Sam is leaning against a wall, frowning but relaxed; you expect he failed to complete his project, as he expected. Pierre gives you a happy wave and a big smile.

Do you do anything before class starts?

>>24241495
WE don't have the gold, right?
Do nothing, then

>>24241495
Say hi to the people we know, make small talk and ask how they're doing.

Basically try not to dwell on the fear all people feel at school presentation time, even here.

>>24241495
Try to unobtrusively get a good look at projects belonging to anyone in the upper range of the class, see if we can glean anything about their various skills that might not have been apparent before.

No sabotage, not here, but a mental note on openly displayed skill (and maybe weakness) is never bad to have.

>>24241424
Funny my fap fic also got delayed by real life as well.

Wave at Pierre.
Talk to Sam.

>>24241495
Open the door to the classroom, so that we can enter as soon as possible when the teacher arrives.

>>24241543
Ah, right. You don't have the gold, but I failed to mention that you do have Sam's sample of incubus fluids.

>>24241495
I bet the one line rundowns of out classmates are commencing withe the mass of presentations.

>>24241582
We always have a sample of incubus fluids. Just sometimes it takes more effort to produce it.

>>24241582
Well then talking to Sam is a must.
>>24241579
Petrove said don't do that so no

>>24241495
Maybe we should chat with Sam. Even if our finished projects will probably make him a bit depressed, I think he'd be happy talking to someone he knows.

>>24241579
There is no such thing as being on time for Petrov's lessons. At least not until we master time manipulation magic.

>>24239871
are miscellaneous mods caped at skill+(1/2 helpers skill) as well. What about augs are they caped and if so do they count as miscellaneous or are they a separate column?

You wave back at Pierre, then head over to Sam. "Hey, what's up?" you ask him.

"Absolutely nothing," he says with a sigh. "I'll be presenting an extradimensional space, but it is in no way detached from normal time in the way it's detached from normal space. I'm hoping to get SOME points for it, but I'm failing this. You?"

"I finished mine," Liz says, giving him a smile. "Barely. With help."

"Same here," Lin says.

"Yeah, me too," you chip in.

He sighs again. "Hera's is doing great too," he says pointing over at her with his chin.

She smiles and pulls out a broad, flat metal clip. She grabs it with her fingers and slowly pulls a 20 euro note out of it. "The only thing off about it are the serial numbers," she says. "Those will always be duplicates of existing ones. Otherwise, this is a perfect forgery."

"Nice," you say. "That should solve anyone's money problems. Oh, speaking of which." You reach into your pocket and pull out a film canister full of your semen. "For your dryad."

Sam actually smiles at that. "Thanks, Max," he says. "Oh, do you... And, uh, Liz, I guess... Want to, uh, meet up sometime? Like later today or, um, this week?"

What do you tell him?

>>24241380
Damn, I feel bad for Lunch. Liz is still taking her aggression out on the poor girl.

>>24241722
ask Liz when is good for her and figure out where?

>>24241722
Aww yeah.

"I'm sure we could arrange something."

>>24241722
"Yeah, you had anything in mind?"

>>24241722
>>24241722
weekend sounds good ill check with her first

>>24241745
Lunch is a masochist and likes it when we offered to fix it she said "No!"
Plus Liz hasn't punished her sens we gave her her lecture everything is under control.

>>24241770
weekend bad dad has this one off we need to stay home and watch the pets and Dryads.

>>24241745
Lunch enjoys it, don't fret about it.

>>24241789
Good point, he has earned some time off. Well, we can do something in the week. We can discuss it with Liz and sort something out.

>>24241745

hopefully, our little talk has given her a nudge in to being a little more forgiving about it.

>>24241771
>Lunch is a masochist
Because Liz made her one.

>>24241789

Very much this. I want Dad to have some rest and relaxation for a while. We work him like a dog sometimes.

"We'll try to figure something out," you tell Sam. Liz smiles and nods. "We don't know what Petrov has planned for this week, though."

"Ah, fair enough," says Sam, going back to frowning. The doors swing open then, and you heard Petrov give a bored, annoyed sigh.

"Well, come on then," he says. You all follow in and take seats. "You have until the end of class today to present your projects to me," he says, standing at the podium. "If you've already presented them, leave now. If you don't present by the end of the class, you fail."

Then he sits down. A few people head for the door, and a lot start heading up to the front. Liz sits there staring at her spirit forge nervously, drumming her fingers from the desk and waiting for it to finish.

What do you do?

>>24241942
Give Liz a reassuring squeeze of her hand, then I guess we wait for a moment to present our project to Petrov...

Are we going to need volunteers?

>>24241974
this

>>24241942

Hmmm... maybe screw with the students presenting their projects with our Emotional Field? Exclude L&L, Sam, Hera, and Petrov (maybe Pierre) and then project feelings of heightened anxiety and fear throughout the room

>>24241989
The foci we grabbed were for happiness and contentment.

>>24241942
get to Petrov before all the week wiled unshielded minds leave and we have no one to show our project on.

>>24241974
if they can't defend them selves they volunteered

>>24241989
let's not do that
To risky.

>>24242003

Ah, then do that then.

>>24241989
Alright this is stupid.

>>24241974
This. Ask for a few volunteers before too many people leave.

>>24241942
>>24241974
this
>>24242014
then this but they only volunteered if we explain the project first and they don't get out or shield up or ask to be excluded after we mention that point.

>>24241989
to much risk
>>24242014 & >>24242074
skirt the line you cross it

Sounds like you want to reassure Liz, then start asking for volunteers. Is that accurate?

>>24242224
yes

>>24241676
capped

>>24241942
Grab volunteers from low performing students?
At the very least we need to make our presentation before the place is terribly empty. I bet Petrov could tell exactly how effective our field was even if it only bounced off of him, but would not put it past him to mark it down for lack of functional demonstration.

>>24242224
sounds good.
Just keep the reassurance subtle and the volunteer spiel friendly and non-informative.

>>24242255
If the presentations are open we can be informative.

>>24242224
Sure.

We should make people horny. That will be fun, and still score points.

>>24242331
We gathered foci for happiness and contentment though. We will have less dice for horniness.

>>24242255
>>24242284
>>24242316
I'm not sure the volunteer thing is a great idea, since the entire point of the spell is to be broad, undetected, and subtly pervasive.

You give Liz's hand a squeeze. She smiles at you, but keeps watching her project. "Hey," you say to Lin, Sam, and Hera. "Want to help me present my project? I need volunteers. I'm planning on using a happiness aura."

They all consent, and you go on to ask Pierre, who does as well. You all get into line to present, while Liz waits back at the desk, watching her spirit forge. It takes a while for you all to get to the front of the line, but you eventually do. Everyone lines up for you to demonstrate your spell; they're each going to go after you're done. It's all come down to this.

Roll Enchantment to demonstrate your spell. You get a +4 from temporary foci, a +4 from permanent foci, and a +1 from having your notes on hand. You're using your strain-mitigation focus too, so you'll have two permanent foci left if you want to try again. I'll consider the first thirteen linked 1d100 rolls.

It works great, especially against Pierre, in whose head you plant a subtle, self-rebuilding seed to make him happy, content, and complacent when you choose to trigger it. Petrov walks up to Pierre briskly, making the boy cringe a little, and places his finger tips on the side of his head. "Effective," he says. "And quite refined from where it was when I helped you last week. Consider making it reactive and able to draw up supporting memories to make it less noticeable and more effective. You'll get a decent grade. You're free to leave now. Next."

Lin lines up to start presenting her mind drill next.

What do you do now?

>>24242470

He told people who had already presented to leave, so we should probably take that as an ongoing instruction.

Give Liz one last reassuring smile, then meditate outside the room waiting for Lin and Liz.

>>24242572
>Isn't that Petrovspeak for "you did awesome!" since he didn't insult us and all.

Seems like~!
Would settle for the high-end of acceptable.

>>24242550
This for that
>>24242533

>>24242590
I don't think he's giving out actual grades today. I'm not sure he does give out actual grades. We just have to wait and see how the class rankings change in the next few days.

>>24242533
>Consider making it reactive and able to draw up supporting memories to make it less noticeable and more effective.
Is he talking about our project or the manipulation seed? Heh.

>>24242533
Wait for L&L to finish up their presentations, maybe see how Sam and Hera do, then port home.

Rolled 46

>>24242572
>Isn't that Petrovspeak for "you did awesome!"

It is. As for what we should do now, I say we wait for L&L to finish their presentations.

>>24241722
That actually reminds me, Sam was depressed about how his appearance made it difficult to find romance, it might be a good idea to when we're alone, discreetly offer some hormone therapy to give him a more womanly figure.

>>24242620
>>24242623
I'm curious to see Pierre's one as well, since we did help him with it. He's not going to do well, since it's apparently far too simplistic for a good grade, but I would be interested to watch.

>>24242619
hmm..
And he supports general low-level fuckery because of his deep abiding hatred of students?

>>24242645
I'd rather he not know we can do that. Sam proved himself rather bad at keeping secrets during the exam with Gaviscon, and we don't want our Living Alchemy being common knowledge.

Besides, offering to overcome his problems by changing him might just upset him. He seems content enough at the moment receiving Maxdick whilst looking for love.

>>24242601
While waiting just outside is fine, I don't think it's safe to meditate by ourselves here. But since we have a ton of time today we should totally meditate for strength +2 when we get home so we can start superhuman martial arts training.

>>24242653
Remember, Petrov led us to Dimitri, he has some sort of plan for us, which means he's willing to overlook minor indiscretions at the moment.

Plus, you're right, he probably does just enjoy watching students get fucked with.

>>24242645
I don't think he'd like that all that much. He seems content enough with his current body, other than moderate frustration in finding willing partners.

>>24242659
>and we don't want our Living Alchemy being common knowledge.

I think everyone who cares to know already knows that we're in Lotus.

>>24242659
Presumably everybody interested already knows we're learning living alchemy, due to the whole meditating in the halls waiting for class with the other lotus students thing. the only thing to hide is how much we actually know.

As for the latter, that's be why we offer discreetly in private, and offer reassurances.

>>24242684
Oh, and his mother probably won't like us fucking with her son's body, regardless. Gotta keep the parents in mind for that shit.

>>24242678
I think that was mainly just him finally figuring out a way to let Dad free without any evidence of him being the one responsible for locking him up or freeing him.

>>24242690
>>24242701
Not everyone has in-depth knowledge of Lotus practice, those who do will know that Lotus members are not generally trained in Living Alchemy until second circle.

>>24242669
Wrong kind of meditate, I was more talking about the standard type that people without magic do all the time that doesn't prevent reacting to threats.

You head for the door and watch the presentations, wanting to see how everyone does while you wait for Lin and Liz to finish up. Lin does well - he actually calls her work 'impressive' and 'unexpected.' Sam is extensively verbally chastised and he doesn't even wait to leave the classroom before teleporting away, tears in his eyes. Hera is praised for her dedication to detail, but criticized for the lack of ambition and scope of the project. The closest thing that Pierre gets to praise is a back-handed compliment about how Petrov didn't expect him to be able to manage that spell.

As the line starts dwindling down, you see Liz sit up excitedly. The spirit forge starts cracking apart, and as the pieces fall away, mist starts pouring out of it. The jar is torn apart from the inside, and a stream of water flies out through the air, trailing mist behind it and leaving frost on surfaces it passes. A rough, vague mouth forms at one end, making it look like a serpent or Eastern dragon, as it screeches.

Liz laughs, her eyes wide, as it flies around, before commanding it to come and follow her, which it does obediently. She gives you an excited thumbs up, then heads off to get in line. Lin, standing next to you, stares at the scene in open-mouthed surprise, as do most of the remaining students.

What do you do?

>>24242779
observe Liz' presentation

Rolled 34

Look right at Lin, grin like a motherfucker. "That's my girl. She's lovely when she's being brilliant."

Observe Liz and her presentation.

Have we seen Sanjay present yet? Is he still here and waiting in line?

>>24242779
Dang, poor Sam.

Yay Lin, and yay Liz! Even yay Hera.
Chill with Lin for the time being to check out the reaction from The World's Most Unimpressed Teacher.

Fire off a text to Sam? something non-condescending and encouraging. He is good people, after all.

>>24242779
>Hera is praised for her dedication to detail, but criticized for the lack of ambition and scope of the project
we should ask Hera what he meant by this at some point I don't know how her spell works so her project may even be the basis of a universal temporary focus generator.

>>24242837
>>24242861
>>24242883
Seconding.

>>24242925
we and Liz may even want to go fuck him tonight.

>>24243031
We can text him when we're back at the tower to ask if he's okay. If he seems upset, we can offer to spend some time with him, since he'll probably appreciate the company. If spending time with him leads to hot dickings, so much the better.

>>24243056
seconded
offer hanging out and don't mention sex
if it comes to it, all the better

You grin at Lin. "My girl is lovely when she's being brilliant," you say. You lean back and watch. When Liz finally makes it to the front, Petrov spends a long time looking over the spirit, though you're not sure what exactly he's looking at. Finally, after a few minutes of that, he takes a step back.

"Good job," he says simply, then signals the next person forward.

Liz comes over to you, grinning madly and excited beyond measure. She throws herself into your arms, tossing her feet up, and squealing with excitement and glee.

What do you do?

>>24243134
Congratulate her, spin her around a few times for good measure.

"I knew you could do it, I'm proud of you."

>>24243158
This, then princess carry her home.

>>24243134
>>24243158
this then lets both ask Hera >>24243000

>>24243172
>princess carry her home.
Going home means texting dad and getting teleported back.

Doing that while holding Liz in our arms would be difficult.

>>24243134

whisper to her that we'll celebrate later.

we should ask Hera if she has contacted Sam yet and after that we should shoot him a message and try to make him feel better.

>>24243134
Hug her back, spin her around a few times.

"You did great Liz, I'm very proud of you."

If Sanjay hasn't gone yet then stay to watch his project. If he has we can carry our lovely girl home. If not stay here to watch it, don't put Liz down.

Send Sam a text asking if he wants some for us and Liz to come over in a bit and give him some company.

>>24243134
>What do you do?
The classic hug-and-swing-in-circle, of course.
But no tongue-wrestling or groping!
>not here, at least.

And then we can prep and bail if there are no further students we are interested in watching. Take a second to recover/destroy the carved pot shards if they are important (ask Liz if needed)

Ask those questions of Hera if she is still around.

>>24243193
Tell Lin to do it.

You hug her tight and spin her around in a circle. "I new you would do great!" you tell her. "I'm so proud of you." She hugs you back, clearly elated about the whole thing, as you swing her up into a princess carry. You all head out into the hallway as Lin texts your dad for a return home. Liz's elemental follows the three of you out, flowing through the air like a freezing, serpentine river. It smells almost like the North Atlantic coast in winter, you realize now that you're close to it - maybe like other cold seas too, but you've never been to any other in the winter.

A minute later and all of you are standing in the inbound circle. Gaviscon comes rushing down the ladder as you enter and paces warily around the room, looking at the new elemental. It, in turn, seems largely curious and confused about him.

I'll need to stop it here for now. I'm going to go to a dinner party. I should be back this evening, and I'll either continue this thread or start a new one. If this hits page 10 before I'm back, please archive it.

Can we agree to have some fun, now that the project is done? We've been planning a lot of things to do that were not essential.
For example maid outfit for Lunch, looking into the feasibility of a tentacle room and hanging out with sam
And fucking Liz to celebrate her Project, of course

>>24243762
I know the feeling, man. I'm actually rather proud that one of my rationales was accepted without significant argument (which I posted to try and forestall one I thought was brewing) in a past thread.

>>24243766
Let's name the water dragon Snapple

>>24243829
>eatery
watery*

>>24243831
I was the one who first made a passing comment about fem-Pierre dozens of threads ago... If only I'd known the horrors I would unleash.

>>24243830
I still think the maid outfit would look cuter on Breakfast, BUT I can agree with that for the sake of just having some fun and not taking things so damned heatedly. After all, just because I like Lunch in her hoodie doesn't mean everyone does. Enjoy and let enjoy, I guess.

>>24243855
I suggested we loot the dryad's corpse. I've been regretting that for weeks.

>>24243860
we could make one for both. Maybe Pierre could get one too, when (if?) we make him a meal

>>24243867
If it makes you feel any better, Selene's what kept me in the thread through all the arguments.

>>24243867
I suggested Lion King

Well, I'm going to risk it, and may god have mercy on my soul...

I think we should, as a very, very long-term project, research creating life entirely from scratch. With living alchemy we can make bodies someday. I would like to investigate whether we can use enchantment to create entirely new minds, rather than just altering pre-existing ones. I would also like to ask Dimitri more about how souls work (which may require boosting Conjuration first so we can actually understand).

What sparked this off was the discussion on whether we should return Breakfast and Lunch's memories someday and free them. I was thinking about it, and realised that by doing so, we would effectively be 'killing' Breakfast and Lunch.

They may have the same bodies, they may have been created by tampering with Maria and Kaoru's minds, but in the end, they have become their own people.

I think the kindest option would be to create new bodies, extract the pre-Lunch and pre-Breakfast memories from the two, and implant them into new bodies, bodies which will be as they would have been before they ever arrived at Scholomance and release them with no memory of their time with us. Then we keep Breakfast and Lunch as their own people.

>>24243919
I suggested how to punish Liz.

I think something like this is the plan for Pierre

>>24243867
I named gaviscon, no regrets

>>24243977
>I think something like this is the plan for Pierre
For you, maybe. I am still wholly against it.

>>24243757
Snapple likes to goof off, but he can actually be pretty intelligent when serious.

>>24243959
>I would like to investigate whether we can use enchantment to create entirely new minds
We can. That's what we did for Gaviscon. He got a mind before even a body; that's what made him start screaming.

>>24243959
To continue, the only real question is how souls work in relation to making someone the "real" person. I want to find out if it would be possible to actually create souls, or at the very least clone them. Dad seems to know a lot about that, so it would be worth asking him.

On top of all that, being able to create life will give us access to a vast range of fetishes. Because we can basically create whatever we desire.

>>24243959
It's an interesting idea, but the only moral problem Dmitri in specific would have with it is that those bodies would probably contain no soul. He might find a spiritually devoid living creature more appalling than a mentally twisted regular body. The mind and soul that constitutes that mind are two separate entities. In fact, if we can't put a soul in the body, the mind might fall apart immediately.

>>24243830
the spirit terrarium power plant should be the next project

>>24244003
We were told when we first arrived that some of the monsters on campus were created by students. So it's obviously doable to create life. But I think we should definitely talk to dad about this.

>>24243990
You still disrupt the thread by being a totacl cockbag that is full of himself and your LELSORANDUMB ideas.

>>24243988
I can understand the distaste for forced feminization, but ultimately, we're going to have to deal with Pierre somehow.
Given his rather... anti-demon tendencies, it'll likely end up either us killing him, him killing us, or us mind wiping him somehow.

>>24244037
I was considering the possibility of just making him drop out gently. It wouldn't take much to use our enchantment powers to ruin his motivation to work hard in class. Then we just let him drift down the rankings until he either drops out or gets kicked out at the end of the year.

>>24244029
In case you haven't been reading all the threads, I actually am an entirely different person than snapple.
He does have a tendency to get retarded when goofing off and he does have a lot of stupid ideas, but if you read through the threads, he'll often add constructively at several points, leading to comments such as "I... agree with snapple, and feel dirty for doing so."

>>24244037
We could do the estrogen balls thing and then just let him panic until he either does something stupid and gets himself killed, or drops out of the school. You know, the way that leaves us relatively out of his messes.

>>24244074
>>24244051
Another mage to assist dad and Lunch would be useful.

Also fetishes!

>>24244037
>>24244074
I must admit, I was an early proponent of feminizing Pierre, but I'm starting to feel bad about it. I don't like the guy, but he's just so... pathetic. I feel like we're kicking a retarded puppy.

I'd prefer to just implant a desire to drop out into him. We can figure out creating a sissyboy for Max's pleasure later, I'm sure we can find someone more worthy (or make one).

>>24244074
We could even plant a mindseed that activates once his body starts changing and convinces him that Irish McSwordbitch is actually a demoness who is hexing him.

>>24244101
Pierre is an essentially inept mage, and, personally, I don't care for feminized boys. Also, there are plenty of other characters we can get fetishes from, like the bondage twins or Lin. Seriously, we haven't spent much personal time on Lin. She probably has things interesting about her, fetish or not that we don't know about.

>>24244074
You seem to be missing the point, in that the poster I was replying to was against the estrogen plan in general.
What >>24244051 planned is probably the best option, for those who have no desire to get violent with him.

>>24244101
I personally am all for the feminization plan, but we'll have to see my compatriot.

>>24244106
I feel like ultimately, he'll be better off with us. He might get turned into a trap, but he'll be safe, and chances are we'll be able to keep his mind almost entirely intact.

>>24244101
>Another mage to assist dad and Lunch would be useful.
Honestly, teaching Breakfast magic would probably yield better results than mindbreaking Pierre, as they're about at the same level of skill.

>>24244130
He's naive and dumb like a brick, but I think he's fairly good at Conjuration and Sorcery

>>24244186
I think he excels at Sorcery but is complete crap at enchantment

>>24244183
He already has magic. Remember, he's still in the upper half of class.

One reason I want to male him into a meal is because then, we can give him and Lunch contradicting orders and then punish the one that fails.
Like for exampüle we tell him he's not allowed to cum, tie him to a chair and then tell Lunch she has 5 minutes to make him cum

I'm pretty sure this is the longest running quest thread we've had since Ruby quest.

I salute you Femcock

>>24244358
So he'll be dessert?

>>24244358
I meant more make him into our slave/pet

>>24244358
He can be junkfood.

>>24244427
Call him "Crisps" or something. By the way, I'm just going along with the joke; I don't personally want him under our wing. I just want him out of the way.

>>24244290
We can already do that with Lunch/Breakfast or Lunch/Liz if we really wanted to.

>>24244391
I'm of the opinion that putting him into the harem should be the last resort. We're still way too inexperienced at even the bare basics of living alchemy to do it live on a person, anyways. And we have several months left in the year to work out the best way to make him drop out. Which might happen anyways because he's untalented at one of the core disciplines the DD use, anyways.

>>24244451
I don't know about you but I would feel kinda bad about punishing Breakfast.

>>24244477
I would feel worse about mindraping a person about as naive as her just so we can fuck them with our girlcock.

>>24244458
we can put him into the harem without feminizing him.
We can always do it later

>>24244492
Don't forget, he's a dicknazi

How about a compromise. Since some people are upset by the idea of forcibly converting him into a sissyboy pet.

We try and slowly but surely convince him of it. Remember, he has a massive crush on us, and thanks to the perception filter, will always see everything we say in a positive light. We start talking to him about personal things, find out more about him, then steer the conversation onto sexual matters. Try and slowly but surely scout the bounds of what he's comfortable with, and try and nudge him further over it (just talking mind you, no cheating on Liz). After all, he trusts us, he can tell us anything...

Then we try and slowly convince him that maybe all the shit he has to go through at Scholomance is too much pressure, maybe he'd be happier if he didn't have to deal with all that stress, if he could just live in a relaxed place, and feel good all day, and be pretty... very pretty... so pretty Max would want to do all kinds of things to him. I think getting him to actually ask for it would be even hotter.


If we can't convince him, then I guess we release him instead by making him drop out.

>>24244358
Maybe there is a way to alter is aura or whatever the thing we feed on to make it compatable with us, dad probably wouldn't be intrested in banging him though so he will be realy horny and sexualy frustrated all the time if we were to give him a mental command to not masturbate unles given permission first but not let him on that he couldnt if he tried and make him believe he doesnt because he koves to be obediant and serve his mistresses.

>>24244518
you're forgetting Lin and Breakfast would probably fuck him

>>24244512
Hes a dumbass who was indoctrinated by dicknazis.

>>24244553
And most inmates on death row were indoctrinated by shitty gangculture.

Your point?

>>24244518
Or we don't enforce the "no masturbation" rule with magic, but we enforce a "tell us when you broke the first rule" rule with magic

>>24244553
Don't forget that he was speaking of eliminating demons before he even arrived

>>24244553
And hitler was beaten by his father
your point?

>>24244655
As I understand it, he was parroting DD propaganda even then.

>>24244517
I like the sound of this.

>>24244655
Because he grew up surrounded by Dextra propaganda.
>>24244572
Inmates are on death row for killing someone. What youre suggesting is for vigilantes - not even cops - to roll through the ghetto and kill every last man, woman, and child that they see.

>>24244517
but Mind control, forced transformation, and MtF. peirra is a target of opportunity with little to no defences, and eventually we can punch him in to a girl if a trap doesn't cut it.

>>24244831
Mainly I just feel like the carnage that will result in the threads from it happening aren't worth the stress. I really enjoyed the first part of today's thread, with everyone getting along and no-one getting mad at anyone.

Already talk of Pierre is starting to stir things up again.

>>24243959
Lunches mind is mostly in tact and even restoring all of her memories wont kill Lunch as unique person because creating Lunch only crippled Kaoru originally via [redacted's] mind virus.
As for Brcafast you have a point but if we work with her and let Breakfast choose what of Maria to bring back with our permission, is just a fast way for Breakfast to grow. With Breakfast she may grow into a sexy version of Maria or a whole differant person who is still Breakfast beaus she chose how to grow herself with the help of her owners.

As for building bodies and souls hell yes
I bet you cant clone a soul though and splitting one would be Promethean tear shit.


>>24244106
I would prefer making him drop put as well a sissy would be fun though.
Plus he may be safer with us then in the wild like >>24244132 said ideally we convince him to be out pet willingly then feminize him. The magic under world is harsh i think he would be better with us but i wouldn't force it unless he becomes a threat. also >>24244186 this
>>24244573 hell yes
>>24244517
third

>>24244919
exactly if he comes to us willingly like in >>24244517 I foresee little argument but if we force it on him i see a shit storm brewing.

>>24244970
Plan influence him with enchantment till he asks for it is a go, then

>>24244940
>I bet you cant clone a soul though and splitting one would be Promethean tear shit.

I'm hoping, given his background, dad knows enough about souls to get us started.

>>24244770
a better analogy is shooting up all gang members even the noob who haven't yet done anything that you know of.

He is an actual gang member though and inept one. He has gone way over even the level of being a wannabe gangster.

Besides in this setting there are no cops only the private armies of gang lords major carrells and general armed citizenry.

So, since FemCOCK isn't here to get distracted, where's the smut?

>>24245072
Who also tend to the the leaders of said organizations.

I was the guy posting about it in the thread Friday. I've just been putting off posting it, mostly because of nerves. I have some characters and societies designed, a modified version of what bfq initially used for the mechanical system, and a vague sense of the story I want.

I could probably run it for a few hours tonight. It'd be my first time trying to run a quest, so I'm not really confident about its quality.

>>24245195
Well that's kinda discouraging...

>>24245318
Give it a shot, the worst that can happen is nothing, but if you don't try, you won't know.

Are we going to create a character, or do you already have someone in mind?

This actually is a spoiler for the quest

I had made a society designed around human sacrifice and blood magic.
Although I had thought they'd the bad guys because I expected lots of moralfaggotry.

>implying we wont become to the edgy renegade Blood Mage who only uses his powers for good
Its like you dont even /tg/. They hate being evil.

You mean blatant ripoff quest? That was a brick wars ripoff.

>>24245605
No, I meant >>24245301

I actually wouldn't mind this. The setting is pretty grimdark, I don't think itwould be so bad to have a more merciless character. Lets try not to make him ALL edgy and dark, though.

Actually, I have seen /tg/ do a proper pragmatic evil before. Go check out the original Dragon Quest.

Might as well try.

I practicly had an evilgasm after what we did to these golds
There were still people that wanted to tell everything to the gold and convince her that not all red dragons are bad and she should become our waifu or something

>>24245661
I was in the IRC with writer-dude, that was one retarded samefag who kept coming into the channel under different names (we could still see his IP, it was pathetic) who would try to convince us that Cygnis was a pure maiden waifu who deserved nothing but good things to happen to her.

To be fair, she was a pretty nice person and I would have liked her as an NPC in pretty much any game-
Unfortunately for her, we were evil and didn't give a shit about that

It was middling evil and still good as fuck when it could get away with it.

>>24245856
Actually I expect that had she been a chromatic, hell MAYBE even a metallic other than gold, we may very well have treated her more nicely.
But the red/gold hatred was just too strong. We wanted her because we liked her, but we needed some very heavy conditions on that. She could never, ever be a threat to us.
So we ruined her so that she could never hurt anything or anyone ever again.

Actually BFQ reminds me more of that Dragon Quest than any other quest thread that's come since, just because it has that same essence of trust and doubt, want and power, fear and paranoia. That's a big part of why I love it so much.

Also boners.

>>24244517
compromises are just lovely.

>>24244517
I still dont like it, but its probably the best bet we have.

>>24246799
I hope it will shut up the moralfags

Not sure if its palatable, but one early plan was to use pierre as a cruise missile, sening him to kill a powerful opponent through simple paranloia increase

>>24246860
what?
