Welcome ladies and gentleman to another edition of Succubus Quest!

Last we left off, we were in the middle of the final, epic battle with Langy to control Fort Hope. Apparently Langy had a UAM Poseidon up his sleeve, a giant anti-demon mech that the old world produced. After a long and epic battle with some severe blows dealt on each side, Brooklyn managed to rip the head off of the Poseidon. Langy ejected, and we last left off with Brooklyn meeting him at the park!

We now continue from that session!

[1/2]

As Langy lunges towards you, a darkness tentacle whips out and grabs his arm. You then use your supernatural strength in it to snap his arm like a twig.

Surprisingly, Langy does not scream from this brutal assault, dropping his own knife, but thin tendrils of blood work to pass it up along to his other hand, continuing his lunge towards you with rage in amidst his eyes.

You react as well, blocking his knife with a darkness tentacle just long enough for you to break down your axe with stone shattering force, slicing clearly through his arm as a spray of blood erupts from his wound.

Langy howls in pain, collapsing to the ground on his knees in front of you. He looks up at you with a gritted expression on his face, a mixture of both disgust that he has lost and fear in front of you.

“Are you... really going to go through with this?” Langy asks you, coughing out some blood as it pains him to speak.

You don’t give him a verbal response, rather you bring your axe up above your head, your darkness forming around it, twisting itself to make your axe sharper and more menacing than before. A small gleam of light reflecting off of its blade as the tendrils twist themselves around the back of it.

“I see... I may have failed to stop you here, but know this... The Pride demons are everywhere. Their forces: invincible. You may be inheriting my rank from me, but know that from now on know that every single waking moment will be spent constantly worrying about rivals attempting to take your place, even if the Pride Demons accept you.” Langy coughs once again, blood coming down from this mouth. “...Welcome to the ranks of nobility. May you choke on it.”
>>
[2/2]

You reply is bringing down your axe on his body

Again...

And again...

And again...

Your vision goes red as you continue to do this, your mind blanking out and your vision flooding with red. When you come back to, you can see the remains of Langy scattered across the snow in front of you.

You lean back and give a mighty howl at the top of your lungs. Venting out the frustration you’ve had with him sacrificing innocents, live executions of burning people at the stake, considering the townspeople expendable, and finally critically injuring Mina. Years of pent of and repressed feelings coming out in one single, bloody howl that seems to echo throughout the entire city.

Bit by bit, you can feel your pulse begin to cool down now, your sense of vision and memory restored as you stand in front of the remains of Langy.

Upon hearing a noise, you turn around and take a look to see what it is. Gazing back you can see Ada and Mina just staring at you with expressions of pure and utter shock, which are similar to those of the several Royal Guard now standing a few feet behind them, most likely the main witnesses to hearing their Lord get butchered right in front of them.

Your breathing is laboured as you begin to think what you can possibly say to them about what lies in front of you.
>>
>>24422140
"I win."
>>
>>24422140
Don't even say anything. I mean what is there to say ...

Just give Mina hug and head back where our house was.

Also if we have Darkness from still up ... well I think keeping up for long as we can might be a good idea for time being until we get out of sight of people.
>>
>>24422169
... I think that is the worst possible statement in this case.

>>24422140
"I only wish it could be worse for how many lives hes disregarded in his rule, weather it be blood sacrifice of his family, or acts such as this."(Gesture to mech's trail of destruction)

Sand you still need to clear up the regrowing limbs thing, I don't think you did last thread.
>>
Just...go. No words, just go. We're better than quipping now.
>>
>>24422140
Hmm, that was both more quickly and more publicly than expected. Priorities: state that we have no interest in running the town, we were just here to return a favor to a friend (careful not to look at Ada), and give our opinion that Langy was an incompetent leader for initiating an attack while his own subjects were still in the crossfire. We do not approve of innocent lives being wasted for convenience. Next order of business, get Mina some medical attention, stat! Finally, find out where Blizzy's bodyguards and the paladin are. We have to off and dispose of the paladin before our adventurers make contact and, hopefully, the badyguards should provide the queens enough aether to transform Amanda (doubt we'll get enought for Leona also).

If the twins aren't here by tomorrow we should probably cut our loses before moving on. We can't keep this one quiet (way too many witnesses, and given that Langy transferred his rank to us we might be scryable through that) and we're still not on par with a mid level knight. We should see if Ada even wants to stick around, I know she wanted to rule openly, but after the hornets' nets we just kicked up I think she could be convinced to join us on our trip to (New T.O.? Wherever that Okarinan library thing is...).
>>
"I'm not taking over. Let the mortals rule themselves for a change."

"Hopefully the next man won't be willing to burn half the city down around him to stay in power."
>>
>>24422533

Sometimes less is more man. A short comment about liberation at most, then quickly disappear. Then a little later Brooklyn shows up to find out that her house is gone along with her neighbors, and gets to listen to stories about what happened from the people that were actually there to witness it.
>>
>>24422512
Modified do this. Drop our shadow form to our Miranda persona as we turn and walk to Mina. Use the remnants of our rage fueled haze to ignore our physically weakness as we pick her up and princess carry her to the doctor (maybe use some magic to cheat if necessary). If we say anything (I don't think we should) tell Mina that we're sorry that she got hurt saving us.
>>
>>24422495

It'll be addressed here in character eventually, so no worries.
>>
>>24422603
Hmm, if we say "let the mortals rule themselves for a change" we'll be crushing Ada's dream of ruling openly though...
>>
>>24422687

Fuck yea, we should take Mina with us. Keep tentacle rape form on. Grab Mina. Dip into a shadow to some place outside of town. Get her to the queens... fast.
>>
>>24422711
Just to make sure, right now as far as Brooklyn knows Mina can't regrow limbs, right? Hopefully the older succubi are still too much in shock to point that out yet, giving Brook a chance to be overly concerned for Mina's health and sacrifice.
>>
>>24422730
I thought she was ruling with a puppet?
>>
>>24422779
>princess carry Mina

Yes.
>>
You turn around and take a step towards Mina and Ada, everyone behind you jumping as you take a step towards them. A few more steps and a simple gaze later, you send the quivering Royal Guards running for their lives, begging to be spared from the Nightmare demon.

Once the guards are out of the way, your darkness form slowly melts away bit by bit until it exposes your true body bit by bit.

“B-Brooklyn?” Mina asks you as you walk over to her.

You don’t reply in words, rather you walk over to her, giving Mina a big hug as tight as you can.

Mina is surprised by this at first, before she smiles in return, wrapping her left arm around you and giving you a hug in return, several tears strolling down her cheeks and onto your face.

“...Ada.” you call out after a few minutes, looking down at Ada. “Now’s your chance. Go and enact your plan before the inferno this ficaso has caused will turn into a hellstorm.”

Ada looks at you in a stunned expression for a few more moments, before finally reacting. “R-Right! Got it!” With that, Ada runs off back towards the Langy castle, once again leaving both you and Mina alone in the park. Sounds of panic can still be heard throughout the area of the city as you remain in place with Mina.

“...So... What are we going to do now?” Mina asks you. “Your entire house was nearly vaporized by Langy’s machine...” Mina says as you both listen to the sounds of the town in an uproar.
>>
>>24422140

probably would be crying at this point. softly whispering "I wanted Langley to answer for his crimes, I wanted him to answer for all those lives he had taken with his blood sacrifices to give him power, I wanted him to be judged by the people of fort hope for the many atrocity he has committed.......However i had lost control of myself.... and lowered myself to his level."

want to throw in but hesitant because it would drastically effect the game "I don't think any action I can do would make it up to the people of fort hope and that I exile myself from fort hope."
>>
>>24422869
reveal that I survived, rebuild. Mourn my teaset.

What about your arm... can it be fixed?
>>
>>24422788
Maybe I'm misremembering then. I thought part of her disire to rule was to finally be seen as she really is, and intelligent and capable adult, instead of as a bratty child, the body she's been trapped in. Like I said, I could be wrong.
>>
>>24422869
"Well first, I'm going to grieve for my lost tea set.

Then I'm going to find somewhere to get some sleep."
>>
>>24422869

Shadow hop. Mina to queens. We've already covered this. Go! Go! Go!
>>
>>24422917
That's her dream. But she can't do that while the Pride Demons are around. So she's settling for ruling with a puppet and at least having a place of her own.
>>
>>24422869
The house isn't important right now. Ada or one of the girls can arrange something. A lot of innocent people got killed, and people very close to me got hurt very badly. Right now I need to get you somewhere safe.
>>
>>24422869
"Mina, you lost an arm. It was just a house. Just things. Things I loved and worked hard to aquire and a house that though crummy, I made into a home, but it's just stuff. Now let's get you taken care of and make sure everyone else is ok."

("Erika? Can you hear me dear?") if she or Seabass reply get them to give us a status update while we carry/drag Mina to the damn doctor. Assuming Erika is fine give her leave with Brodin to go check on Leona and Amanda. Set Seabass riding herd on the adventurers.
>>
>>24423061
Seconding.
>>
>>24422956
Got it, thanks for setting me straight. Doesn't seem to be an issue at this point as Ada's doing her thing, but still I appreciate the information.
>>
>>24423061
This, but have Sebastian and Erika use their psychic powers to hunt for survivors in the rubble with the adventurers and willing guardsfolk helping dig them out. Saves some extra lives and builds some good will after we botched Ft. Hope's the first impression of us. Then the rest of the party can split off.
>>
Random question. Is there a Light version of Brooklyn's Darkness Transformation?
>>
>>24423238

At the great level, yes.
>>
>>24423238
That's not the right question (pretty sure each control has an unlockable form). The right question is whether Brooklyn can forge a stable light/dark hybrid form. That could be interesting.
>>
>>24423278
I agree
>>
>>24423278
Agreed. That would be pretty freaky to see.
>>
>>24423278
That was my next question.
>>
>>24423332
Fair enough. Sorry to beat you to the punch anon.
>>
>>24423278
Which makes me wonder just how common is it to combine two elements? Just how many mages have gone around and done that with something like Light and Darkness.

And now I'm thinking of Magicka ...
>>
>>24423370
Supposedly not many. Also, why am I thinking that combining order (light) and chaos (darkness) is going to net us a kaleidoscopic fractal form that mixes tentacles with crystalline growths? Both forming, disapating or transforming between each other at random?
>>
[1/2]

A few tears fall down your cheeks as you hear the sounds of battle ringing over your hometown. “I... I wanted Langley to answer for his crimes, I wanted him to answer for all those lives he had taken with his blood sacrifices to give him power, I wanted him to be judged by the people of fort hope for the many atrocity he has committed... However i had lost control of myself... and lowered myself to his level."

“Ssshhh... Brooklyn... Don’t think of yourself like that. I’m sure that due to the crimes committed here today, Langy is going to go to the worst possible version of Hell. If anything your actions here today made you a hero.” Mina says using her left arm to rub your back.

“And if it wasn’t for me you’d still have your arm!” You say to Mina.

“And I’d still be stuck in the Adamant Door!” Mina quickly retorts as she uses her arm to wipe away your tears.

“...Will it grow back?” you ask Mina while you look at her stump.

“I... I’m not sure...” Mina says looking down at her charred arm remains, wincing as she does so. “It still burns like nothing I’ve ever felt before, and I never really had to test regenerating a lost body part before...”

You can only give a pained sigh as you run your hands over your eyes in pain, not exactly the response you wanted to hear. The very fact that Mina has a chance of having permanent damage because of you is something that pains you quite a bit.
>>
[2/2]

“Ssshhh... Relax... I’m sure if we find some sort of healer I can get my arm fixed up in no time. I’m able to use both of my hands well, as after all, martial arts involves use of both hands.” Mina says, running a hand alongside your face.

“...The political climate is in the middle of turmoil right now. So the first thing I need for you to be is safe.” you say to Mina as you grab a clean piece of Langy’s clothes. You grab some snow and use your water control to liquify the water into a cool temperature and delicately put it on Mina’s arm. Mina winces slightly, but offers no resistance. “Dr. Gaterkin will know vastly more than I do about your injury. We should go and see him.”

“But what about the other people!?” Mina immediately replies. “My arm was burned off yes, but what of all those other people who were underneath those crushed houses? They’re probably going to be in far worse shape than me!”

Typical Mina. Seeming to always think of others before her own well being.

(What now?)
>>
>>24423430
"You're right."

Have a Horde of Soliograms start helping people with Tentacles grabbing and moving the really big heavy stuff.
>>
poop on her chest
>>
>>24423430

"Everyone will be rescued. One person at a time. So, Since you are here and are severly injured, I guess I'll start with you!"

then princess carry her to the doctors.
Then head out to help with the rescue efforts.

I assume that after the battle we will be severely lacking in aether, so mayhap we can get enough from the emotions of the trapped, their families and the rescue workers to prevent us from having to fight of the desire to nom on people...
>>
>>24423430
Well, so much for delegation. Give a mental yell to our psychics to get looking for survivors while we dig them out, have Alex coordinate any of the guard that want to help dragging people to the medic (or better yet get him over here).
>>
>>24423452
>Have a Horde of Soliograms start helping people with Tentacles grabbing and moving the really big heavy stuff.

Do we have the Aether to pull that off at this time? I imagine we're pretty low and don't feel like going down even more so. I'm not saying we shouldn't help or get others (adventure group) to start helping but we need to be smart about this too. Plus we kinda need to save Mina from her self also. This needs to be checked out. Sooner the better.
>>
>>24423486
Nope, she just shifted the princess carry from an expression of our concern and singleminded attention to her injury into us ignoring the plight of those less fortunate than Mina who may well be dying in the rubble we helped create. Makes Brooklyn look like he doesn't care about the little mortals anymore...

I originally suggested the princess carry, unfortunately we missed the moment.
>>
>>24423486
I think right now there is going to be a lot of background emotions.

Especially if we go digging for survivors, the air will be filled with fear and panic, joy and relief, and a lot of mourning.

We really should help people. We have darkness tentacles, and our own demonic durability.
>>
>>24423491
>bring the doctor to the disaster area
Probably a better idea would be for someone else to do triage and send him the most likely to survive only with intensive care. The Mercenaries' medics can pick up the slack on the small stuff.
>>
>>24423452
Seconding. We can use the emotions of the townspeople to fuel our rescue efforts.
>>
>>24423430
Well, looks like we're stuck I charge of this situation for now. Send someone to round up all the medics in town to treat the wounded. Then do a montage of rescuing people while carefully watching Mina in case she's much worse off than she's letting on. We can't let the Blizzy's bodyguards slip way while we're doing this though.
>>
I'd rather not stay here any longer than necessary. We just helped destroying the town after all.
>>
>>24423717
Agreed, but we still have loose ends to wrap up.
>>
>>24423717
True, but on the other hand Langy fired the first shot above ground (Ada really screwed this one up, didn't she?).
>>
>>24423775
I don't know if you can blame Ada for this. I mean who saw Langy having a anti-demon mech?
>>
>>24423714

Since Erika is better at managing people, she would make a better Rescue Overseer than us.

Help rescue people, then head into the ruins for a quiet reflection time.
>>
>>24422140
Catching up. Why didn't you guys vote for us consuming his aether if we were going to kill him anyway? Whelp, guess Leona and Amanda aren't getting transformed before we leave.
>>
>>24423745
>>24423775
Yes, I just mean that we should make a "flashy" escape to throw off anyone that would like to see us dead. We can return later in the day/week.
>>
>>24422100
can't tell if pubic mound or taped up scrotum...
>>
>>24423822
Ada. Apparently before she cut his air supply.
>>
>>24423831

he had no aether left and trying to get out of an enlightened being is hellish. would take too long and we were way to angry to think about that. Also not a good idea to reinforce the stereotype in front of the royal guards.
>>
>>24423831

because the amount of aether he had left after our Previous assault on the castle was negligible.
>>
>>24423843
Apparently we revealed Brooklyn's true form, so I'm not sure that would help. My concern isn't for the mortals of fort hope, it's for the pride demon nobility. Who will shortly have our name, verification that we are some kind of female demon, and a rough power level estimate. I'm thinking we don't visit the queens until we can prevent Brooklyn from being scryed, which may complicate our planned transformations.
>>
>>24423943

>>
>>24423961
See >>24422869

>your darkness form slowly melts away bit by bit until it exposes your true body bit by bit.
I assume true body means Brooklyn's native form, wings tail and all.

>"B-Brooklyn" Mina asks...
Our real name has been getting thrown around a lot also. Someone will have heard by now.
>>
>>24424062

Remember that as far as Brooklyn, Mina, and Ada knows, no one was around them. I wouldn't have made Mina say that otherwise.

Also, true form being a humanoid form. You're still in the Miranda body at the moment.
>>
>>24424062
But the guards had run away by then. It was just Mina and Ada and maybe a couple of scared hiding people who nobody will take seriously who saw.
>>
Ok, odd question, but since I don't remember seeing any rolls called, was the fight with Langy an actual fight (netted us xp) or was it a cut scene (plot advance only)? I don't actually care either way, but felt more like the latter to me.
>>
>>24424115
Ah, no civilians hiding in fear near by. Good. Thanks for the clarification Sand.
>>
>>24424130

...I honestly forgot about the rolling this time >>
>>
>>24424192

>implying you did not do secret IRL rolls or Rule Of Cool'ed it...
>>
>>24424192
And time with Erika as well ...

I don't recall any rolls for that fight.
>>
>>24424192
Oh. Never mind then.
>>
Well, since it seems like we'll be leaving Ft. Hope soon, what are the opinions on who we should take with us and who we should leave to support Ada? I assume the plan is to take Mina, Brodin and the twins (if we successfully recruits them after this mess) and leave the rest at home, but I'm curious as to everyone else's thoughts on the matter.
>>
>>24424439
That was my idea of 'who' also. The less people coming the better.

But lets wait and see how all this unfolds first before declaring we get of town now. I would like a chance to look through Langys library before we leave. But if things play out badly for us then so be it.
>>
[1/4]

“You’re right about that. We start with the critically injured, meaning we start with you!” you say as you scoop Mina up into your arms.

“N-Nani!?” Mina gasps as you pick her up.

“No buts. We’re taking you to a doctor right away. Demon or no, having a fourth degree burn is not something one should take lightly.” you tell Mina as you begin walking. “It is admirable that you want to help others, but one needs to know their limits. Your limit right now is to get some rest for you to properly heal.”

“I... Y-you’re right. As much as I hate to admit it. Both my aether and physical health are not in the best of conditions.” Mina says as she reaches over to put her hand on your shoulder. “But anyone in worse condition than me will be going ahead of me!”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way.” you reply to Mina as you continue the trek towards Gaterkin’s office.

The trip there is filled with both panicked people, chaos, and destruction. The Poseidon certainly did a number on the town during the battle. The mercenaries are doing their best to help quell some of the chaos, either by charity work or by groups of people providing them the gold needed for their support.

When you reach Dr. Gaterkin’s office, you can see people nearly lined up and out the door due to their injuries. Ranging from everything to a bloody head to crushed limbs. Both you and Mina’s hearts fall a bit upon seeing this.

“...I’m going to go back with the others to help with whatever efforts I can.” you tell Mina as you put her down.
>>
[2/4]

“Be safe.” Ada says as she gives you a small peck on the lips.

“Always.” you reply giving her a small peck back before running off to assist.

The damage report amongst your group is pretty heavy in of itself. Brodin was badly injured by the plasma cannon from the Poseidon, but unlike Mina he appears to be in one piece and will recover completely in time. But in his current state he is unable to do any sort of work, drained of both aether and vitality. He decides to call up a temporary replacement Reaper to do his job, as likely the vengeful ghosts generated from this event will be a massive problem otherwise. Ironfist, the Adamant Door owner, agrees to give Brodin a room to rest in while he recovers. The least he could do for his new best customer.

Sebastien goes around helping rescue teams locate any trapped people within the rubble of houses. Using the cover of the houses, he was able to avoid nearly all of the damage from the engagement. Erika however had critically overextended herself, a literal hair away from having a migraine headache. You agree to help Erika get to Amanda’s bath house safely, where she is able to rest herself up away from any sort of loud noises that are everywhere in the city currently.

The Adventurer trio took some damage. Alex took a few bullets from the autogun turrets while Troy is suffering light burns from all over his body due to the electric shock that the Poseidon gave him. Uilodsir is absolutely fine aside from a few cuts and scrapes he had when diving for cover. Alex, despite his injuries, is able to still stand and joke around but says he’d rather not push himself unless he absolutely needs to. Troy is able to walk somewhat, but he needs to rest easy for a few days himself.
>>
[3/4]

You help out as much as you can yourself. Your powers being recharged nearly as fast as you can use them with the massive influx of emotions in the air. Many of them being a fairly sour or bitter taste. Most of it is mainly covert usage, such as a piece of rubble ‘magically’ being pushed out of the way despite appearing to be too big for several mercenaries.

Eventually in the late afternoon, an announcement from Langy castle comes up. After a lengthly discussion by the ruling elite in the castle, the next Lord of the city is now none other than a Miss Marina Langy. The next successors in line stepping down for various reasons, and even to go as far as suggesting her. People who follow the Langy family even moderately well for a peasant are somewhat confused by this, but the vast majority of them don’t care as the Langy family begins to hire out mercenaries en masse to help rescue and restore order to the city, followed by long term plans to repair the city in order to restore it to its former glory. Reparations are being paid out to anyone who suffered some sort of damage as a result from the last ruler.

You sit down admist the ruins of your own house, sitting against a piece of rubble on the ground as you hold the picture of your family taken back when you were a child, the reflecting back upon more innocent times helping you to recover from the chaos of the day from earlier. Nearly everything in your house is now incinerated. A few of your old world books survived, but virtually nothing else has apart from your fireplace. Currently being put to good use as burns carefully in the night sky. You think the time is probably a little bit before six o’clock.
>>
[4/4]

“Hello Sebastian.” you say as you hear familiar footsteps behind you.

“I can see the day’s events have been rather heavy on you.” Sebastien says sitting down next to you.

“How’s Brodin?” you ask.

“He’s a tough bastard, so he’ll live. The replacement Reaper will be here sometime tomorrow.” Sebastien says offering you a flask of liquid.

You take the flask and gulp down the liquid inside of it. The hard alcohol would serve to be a giant slap to the face if you weren’t already pummeled metaphorically. “I just paid the fucking rent on this thing the other day...”

“Rent should be the least of your worries.” Sebastien says as he gulps down the drink. “Anyways, I managed to sneak in a small mental conversion with Ada.”

“Busy?” you ask.

“An understatement, but I could feel as if she were content. Kid’s made for this sort of thing.” Sebastien says. “She was also thinking of making you an offer.”

“Oh?” you reply.

“Yea. She wanted to know if you wanted to be the Langy Head Magician or Teacher.” Sebastien replies. “Should provide you a place to stay if you wanted too. Even then she offered you a place in the castle until you’re able to get back on your feet.”

“A commoner living in the Langy castle? Wouldn’t that cause a commotion?” you ask.

“Compared to what has happened out here? I doubt anyone will care.” Sebastien replies.

(Feel free to ask about anything else in the meantime. Mina has been mostly at the Doctor's all day)
>>
>>24424579
>Brodin was badly injured by the plasma cannon from the Poseidon, but unlike Mina he appears to be in one piece and will recover completely in time.
Dude can recover from *death* just by filling out a form. Nobody was worried about him.
>>
>>24424579
>“Be safe.” Ada says as she gives you a small peck on the lips.
I guess you meant Mina...

>>24424611
Anything worth salvaging from that wreck out there? Even as fixed position defenses, that thing would go a long way to keeping the Fort Pride Demon free...
>>
>>24424611
Nope. She works for us, not the other way around. And we really can't deal with those responsibilities while conquering the world.
And maybe nobody will care, but it will be notable and suspicious. I'd rather call in another favor and get a house from Amanda. We have plenty of them that we don't know what to do with.
>>
>>24424721

Most of the damage sustained by Langy's assault was mostly residential. A plasma blast did hit the wall, but the wall seems only to have scorch marks on it and appears to be no worse for wear.

The Economic front is another thing altogether though.
>>
>>24424804
I think he was asking about the mech. If we can salvage it.

>>24424611
"So what the hell was that thing anyways. Seemed like you knew before all hell broke lose."
>>
>>24424611
"I'm not sure, I'm not planning on staying here forever, I have other places to visit and things to take care of, on the other hand I would like a fancy place at the castle, at least for now, and I have wanted to go through that library.

I'll think about it.

How bad are the damages from this? Does it look like it'll recover alright?"
>>
>>24424611

Check up on Mina, thankfully take Ada up on her offer to be the royal teacher, and as we head to the castle to crash, grab whatever ingredients we might need to do the queen summoning ritual. Once we have our new room, preform the ritual and find out what we should do about Mina's arm. Once we do that crash and burn. It's been a long assed day, and we need some sleep.
>>
>>24424611
I say accept on being her Head Magician.
It will give us a place to stay, while we take care of other stuff.
>>
>>24424611
accept the job
>>
Rolled 3, 11 = 14

>>24424859
>and I have wanted to go through that library.

Yes to this a thousand times. I want to see if Langy was bad little lord and had some books he shouldn't have.
>>
>>24424949
And I forgot my dice.
>>
>>24424859
>>24424732

Guys, offering us that job was just a way for her to give us a place to stay. It was a nice gesture, and I doubt she really expects us to spend all our time tutoring her. ... In case you didn't notice she's actually a bit older and more experienced then she looks. If we take the job we have complete access to everything in the castle and freedom to do whatever we want. How is this a bad thing?
>>
To be fair, it is Brooklyn the HUMAN that will be the head magician.

Plus now we have regular access to the castle.
>>
>>24424999
>it is Brooklyn the HUMAN that will be the head magician
And as far as anybody else knows, Brooklyn doesn't know any magic.
If we're going to take a job, it should be the Teacher one. A natural promotion from teaching Brothen.
>>
>>24424611
Ask about the status of the paladin and Blizzy's bodyguards. We need to know if they already headed out.
>>
>>24424842

correct. my line of inquiry was to the mech. One may think that with enough knowledge, and maybe a pinch of Miyan SCIENCE! that some functionality may be restored...
>>
>>24424913

I'd rather be the tutor then the head magician. Claiming to be a mage makes us a lot more noticeable and raises a lot more questions I'd rather not answer. "No sir. I didn't have anything to do with the death of your last ruler. Why would you think I did, just because I appeared as a mage out of nowhere as soon as he died and took a position of power here.. how strange that so many people ask that!"
>>
>>24424611
If we accept the Magician position, can we take it as an alter ego?
>>
>>24425050
Or we can go in as Sara though for the magic part. Just an idea.
>>
>>24425114
Good idea
Accept the job as Sara
>>
>>24424999

We could use the persona of Sara perhaps? using Brooklyn would be acknowledging Brooklyn knows magic. If we are head magician.

however at this point i don't think we either have to adopt an alt personality for majority of the time or leaving an information trail.
>>
>>24425114

It it's going to be the place we're living at I'd rather be able to do it in our natural form. Having to keep an alter ego up in our home just seems distasteful to me.
>>
>>24425114
And when our friends say "hey, your house was destroyed, where are you living?" we say...?
We need an actual life in among all the fake ones.
>>
>>24424732
Heh, unless you're suggesting we break Ada I don't think she's likely to work for us anytime soon. With us, sure, but as an independent agent and not a subordinate. Besides, she's dealing with all the annoying bureaucratic stuff for us, cut her some slack man, let her rule her own little fiefdom while we aim to take out the leader of the universe(s) spanning pride demon empire. If her ambitions grow she'll come back to us, if not then so be it,
>>
>>24425154

Yea thinking now that Brooklyn as a private tutor would be better. if Ada does enough changes this peculiarity could get lost in the chaos.
>>
>>24425154
I'm kinda 'eh' on that part. At this point we're switching back and froth so much it doesn't matter to me too much.

But ... >>24425201 true enough.
>>
>>24425151

Or we could go.. tutor and have our job be teaching someone that doesn't need it, so no one gets suspicious when we spend time talking to Ada, and we can spend our "lesson" time talking politics, or our next move, or just girl talk while drinking tea. No need for other people to see you creating the waves when you have the option to do whatever you want in peace.
>>
>>24425269
>>24425201
We use our salary as Magician to rent a small house or we just ask Ada for some money, she's the noble that rules the place
>>
>>24425114
I'd rather we not take both positions, but setting "Sara" up as an unofficial (secret?) magic instructor could work. I'd rather just give that position to the elf mage if he's interested though.
>>
>>24425348
But why not take the same salary as Langy Tutor and not do all the pointless deception?
>>
>>24425348
But that brings more question 'Where you getting this money, Brooklyn?' and such.

At that point just having the Tutor job will save a lot of the hassle.
>>
>>24425376
>>24425406
But establishing Sara as a Magician allows us to use magic in public
>>
>>24425430
Only as Sara.

I see the point in doing so at the same time I see the point others are making about having the Tutor job. Eh. Whatever.

“I think I may take her up on both fronts of that job.” you say taking another gulp of the alcohol before passing it back to Sebastien. “What the hell was that thing anyways. It seemed like you knew a thing or two about it.”

“Yes. The Poseidon is a model of a UAM, or Unmanned All-Terrain Mechanoid was a series of autonomous military robots that were mass produced back in the Old World, even before the Scouring. During the days of the Scouring, literal herds of those things roamed across the warfields. The were one of the only things that humans had against the demonic hordes. ...That is until the demons brought in their own gigantic creatures to fight against them. The Poseidon is a special model in that it was optimized to fight both underwater and on land.” Sebastien says. “When the war was over, the Pride Demons ordered as many of them deactivated as they possibly could, so finding the husk of one is extremely rare, let alone finding one that works in any sort of capacity. This is my first time ever seeing one in a condition stable enough to actually fight.”

“Does Ada know what to do with this one?” you ask.

“Not at the moment. She confirmed it is inactive, and that’s good enough for the moment. Articus will probably demand that it be dismantled and sold for scrap though. It took some heavy damage, but if you can find that one in a billion person it may actually be repaired.” Sebastien says as he takes a gulp of drink. “When Langy went nuts, a few messengers immediately fled the town. They’ll know what happened here soon enough.”

“That was a matter of time anyways.” you say as you look at your picture once again.

“...Miss Miranda?” you hear a familiar voice out behind you.
>>
[2/2]

You turn around from your spot to see two girls standing behind you. Going through your memory, you can see that they’re Katlin and Stacy, the twins that you rescued from a snow pirate base a while back.

“...Oh... H-Hello girls.” you reply, forcing yourself to put some emotion into your voice.

“I-Is this your house!? O-Oh my goodness Lady Miranda I’m so sorry!” Stacy says as she looks over the ruins of your house.

“W-What happened!? We only got into town recently and heard that the former Lord had gone mad with a metal golem. Are you well!?” Katlin asks as she kneels down next to you.

As much as you are happy to see the twins again, you cannot help but wonder why now of all the times in the world...
>>
>>24425522
Pull both of them into a hug, turn on Aura Sight, because I'm paranoid.

"I'm just fine my dears, it's only an apartment, I have friends and won't really need to worry about finding a place to stay, though I will miss my tea set and some of the books I lost quite a bit.

And yes, Lord Langy went crazy with an Old World robot before he was stopped.

I didn't expect to see the two of you back so soon, did your trip go well? Is your father well?"
>>
>>24425522
"I'm fine. A bit homeless at this time but hey I got my health. Ha ... How are you girls doing? And your father as well, hows he doing?"
>>
>>24425522

"It was an unfortunate affair. It seems that he thought some adventurers who were passing though the town wished to kill him, and began destroying the Fort to try and kill them..."
"So much was destroyed and too many innocent bystanders were injured or killed by his enraged assault."

"What brings you here though? I had assumed that due to the current situation, you and your father would have passed Fort Hope for the time being."
>>
>>24425608

This
>>
>>24425522
"Yes, this was my house. It's lucky I wasn't in it. I'm unharmed."
>>
>>24425608
seconded
>>
>>24425522
Quick question, I know Belkarina promises being binding is a caste thing, but are other kinds of contracts/oaths binding for all succubi? Just wondering.
>>
>>24425764

Outside of a magically enforced binding, no they're not.
>>
>>24425812
Thanks.
>>
You turn on your aura sight, not wanting any more ‘surprises’ for the rest of the day. You can see that both of their auras are in an orange (fear) colour.

“I’m just fine my dears. I was not inside when this event happened. It is only an apartment anyways. I have friends and won’t need to worry about finding a place to stay, though I will miss my tea set and some of the books I lost quite a bit...” you reply to the twins.

“Oh I’m so sorry Lady Miranda!” Katlin says as she wraps her arms around you.

“Next time we come into town, I promise you that I’ll see to purchase the best tea set for you that I possibly can!” Stacy says as she hugs you as well.

You give a small smile as you return the hug to both of them back. “Yes, he former Lord went mad with an Old World robot, but thankfully I am injured. But I did not expect to see you both back so soon. Did your trip go well? What of your father?”

“Father is well. Thankfully he called in some favours to acquire some more goods.” Katlin replies.

“Father’s business has taken a hit, but he’ll bounce back for certain.” Stacy says. “The recent events here will also make demand skyrocket. I-I don’t mean to say that we intend to make profit out of human misery b-”

“Relax my dear, I understand what you mean.” you reply to Stacy.

“Who is this man here. A friend of yours?” Katlin asks looking at Sebastien.

“...You could say that.” Sebastien replies.
>>
Hmm, if I remember correctly miranda helped these guys against Bandits

He helps occasionally when I need it. This was an emergency so I asked his aid. With Langly dead people might think it time to loot and murder even if the nobles say there is stability amongst them
>>
>>24426021

he is a passing scholar who knows a bit about old world tech. we were hoping he could help us with the wreck of the machine.
If we're lucky, some of it's weapons are still salvageable and can be added to the Forts Defense. Due to the previous Lords insanity and tragic death, it was determined that improving our security is a suitable goal, along with reconstruction, of course."
>>
>>24426021
We can be sort of truthful. Miranda is an adventurer who has adventurer friends.
>>
>>24426021
"More or less. We've worked together before.

Now, let's see if we can find somewhere to rest our feet and get a bite to eat in this commotion, it's been a long day."
>>
ded thred?
>>
>>24426415

Nope, was eating dinner and now typing the update.
>>
>>24426430
Fantastic
>>
>>24426430
That is by far the fastest I've ever seen an op respond to "ded thred" dude.
>>
>>24426456
I've seen people asking if the thread is dead one minute after the OP posts his next bit.
>>
[1/2]

“Yes, he is a friend of mine. We travelled together a few times and he helps occasionally when I need it.” you say to Sebastien.

“...Sounds about right.” Sebastien says as he lights the cigarette.

“Do you need anything before I head off with these ladies?” you ask Sebastien.

“Think we discussed everything that needs to be said.” Sebastien replies.

“Then let us be off, shall we ladies?” you ask them both sitting up, putting the picture into one of your pockets.

“Let’s.” Both the twins reply at once.

******

“Miranda my dear! I’m so glad that you’re alright!” Elgar says as he meets both you and the twins at the Red Fox Inn, the place where they are currently staying. He reaches up with his short form and gives you a large hug in response. Even in the midst of chaos, the Red Fox Inn appears to be relatively calm.

“Out of a home and all of my belongings, but I have my life and that’s all that matters in the end.” you say giving Elgar a hug back.

“My words exactly! The loss of your house is regrettable, but so long as you are in one piece, then you are always able to rebuild!” Elgar says.

“I’m just amazed that you were able to bounce back so quickly.” you say taking a seat across from Elgar and the twins.

Elgar waves his hand. “Certainly a traumatic experience, but one I was certainly prepared for. In fact the new contracts I picked up today should make up for my recent losses at least twice over, even when sold at a discount.”
>>
[2/2]

“And the girls?” you ask.

“We’re... still a little uncomfortable around men...” Katlin replies, rubbing her arm as she looks down to the ground.

“But aside from that they’re making progress! Which is good!” Elgar says as he sits on the table. “...But on one related manner, I can start help replacing what you have lost.”

“Oh Sir Elgar please. I cannot possibly accept just generosity in good conscious.” you say politely declining.

“Oh no! Not that!” Elgar says before leaning in across the table, his voice now a hushed whisper. He takes out a square object wrapped in cloth and slides it towards you. “It is about that book you wanted.”

“...Oh?” you ask, a bit intrigued about what Elgar has managed to find and slowly begin to unwrap the cloth covering.

(Time to choose what book Elgar managed to find! You can vote for the book being one related to Time Control, Spirit Control, Space Control, or Fate Control.)
>>
>>24426819
>Time Control
When in doubt. Time hax.
>>
>>24426819
Space. We want tele-hax
>>
>>24426819
Oh wow, if we told Amanda we had a book on Fate control...
>>
>>24426819
gonna go with Space Control
>>
>>24426819
>Space Control
Long range teleport is just so useful.

We can break the universe in half with time or fate hax when we get to TO. We already had a challenge from Oksana to get an Okarian to teach us an advanced control.
>>
>>24426819

Space Control. It will only enhance the Black Hole Crusher attack... that and we'll never have to carry large sacks again with HAMMER SPACE PURSE!!!
>>
>>24426819
Space control, for reasons others have already stated.
>>
>>24426819
Fate Control, some scrying on our own would be nice I'm totally not doing it for the clothing failure spell
>>
>>24426819
Space is slightly more useful than time, I think. Fate, though, is probably the most useful in the very long run, and is probably required to face anyone who has fate control themselves.

Unless "fate control" really just means "probability control" in which case space will be fine.
>>
>>24426819
Spirit control would eventually allow us to make succubi and other demons correct? If so, we want that longterm.
>>
>>24426819
Space Control.

Time sounds useful. But I rather have Space Control first.
>>
>>24426819
Space control. I just know immunity to vacuums will be useful sooner than we expect.
>>
>>24427070
Brodin has spirit control at average. It lets him summon ghosts.
>>
>>24427070

It would later on yes.
>>
>>24427059

Fate is probability control yes. Luck basically becomes skill to users of Fate Control.
>>
>>24427127
Well, that kicks spirit control up the priority list. Still, already voted for space control and am sticking by that.
>>
>>24427226

true. Space now, something we can toy with. Spirit in TO, something we can be taught...
>>
>>24427260
We could probably get Brodin to teach us basic Spirit Control any time, no need to go to TO or get a book.
The amount of training we'd have to do to get it to a high enough level to make succubutts though, I don't think it's worth it. Just get more killy and let Oksana carry on doing the succubutting like she has been.
>>
>>24427402
Because then we can succubut people without telling them about the demon queens. Plus, aether is easier to gather for us and we can move, while the queens are in a fixed position.
>>
You unwrap the cloth binding to reveal the book that is underneath. A purple book with faded golden letters saying, “An Inquiry on Space and Time. Part Two: Space, Spatial Relations, and Applied Applications.”

“Oh sir Elgar! You shouldn’t have!” you say as you flip through the book in amazement.

“Pish posh! The least I could do after all you’ve done for us!” Elgar says.

“So Miss Miranda... What are you going to do for the rest of the night?” Katlin asks. “Do you have a place to say?”

“Are you doing anything else tonight?” Stacy asks in return.
>>
>>24427509
Except that we wouldn't be able to succubut people for a long time anyway.
>>
>>24427402
we'd only be able of making more Okarians though
>>
>>24427509

until we actually get on with our job of freeing them...

to that end, we really should start getting them aether for the job we were resurrected to do...
>>
>>24427509
It requires 30~ person worth of aether we can only hold 4 or 5 people worth right now
>>
>>24427567
>>24427574
What about enlightening?
>>
>>24427566
I've had several offers so far... but I wouldn't turn down the company of you two for tonight.
>>
>>24427566
Hmm, how are we going to work checking on Mina into a night of 'recruiting' the twins?
>>
simple, we tell them a friend was hurt and we want to check on her before retiring for the night... *wink* *wink*
>>
>>24427724

And where shall you be retiring to if that is the case?
>>
>>24427688
"I need to check on a friend of mine, who helped fight the mechanical beast when it attacked. She is... an extraordinary individual."
>>
>>24427566
We should stay the night with them.
May as well start 'teaching' them.
>>
>>24427566
"Well I don't have much in the way of concrete plans for tonight, though I do have a dear friend who was injured who I am planning on visiting at some point. As for finding a place to stay, I'm sure I could prevail upon some of my friends and acquaintances if I truly need to.

But, aside from visiting my friend, I'd love to spend the rest of my evening with the two of you and stay as long as you'd like."
>>
>>24427768
Unless we have sufficient funds for a room of our own at a different, but nearby and equally classy inn, I've got nothing...
>>
>>24427840
We can stay with the Twins (Best Option), we can crash at the Castle, we can waggle our magic at some guy and get a free inn room somewhere nice.
>>
>>24427907
Staying with the twins is a given, staying with the twins away from their father's watchful eye without making them nervous is my hope.
>>
>>24427967
Well we might be able to sneak them into the castle, but that'd be annoying, and their inn room is next to their dad.

Basic plan, go to bathhouse with twins, because bathhouse, find a spare moment to chat with Amanda, borrow a place to stay from her.
>>
>>24427998
You want to ask the girl we've been fooling around with to provide us a room to potentially fool around with other girls in. While the twins are present. I guess that would preclude her from stopping by unaware of what we might be doing with our company, but still seems...distasteful to me.
>>
>>24428042
We can invite her to said lestastic festivities at some point later, and we could use a place to stay that isn't in the Castle for other reasons as well, the fooling around is just icing on the cake.

We should probably take a bath with them anyways, long day, lot of fighting and destruction, we need one.

If we don't grab a place from her we can either take them with us to the Castle, or do magic fingers at some Inn, or just stay in their room and cuddle.
>>
>>24427998
Except that different guises for Amanda and the Twins. The Twins can likely just PAY for lodging. Take them bathing, because Brooklyn must reek by now. Make sure they have a place to stay, make sure Mina and company have places to stay. Scream at top of lungs in underground hot springs later.

“Oh is you friend alright!?” Stacy asks in a concerned tone.

“She... took some damage, but she’ll be able to live in the long term.” you say. “I merely wish to check up on her at the doctor’s office.”

“Then please don’t wait up on our account!” Katlin says.

“Yes by all means! If you wish to see your friend, then do not worry for those who are well off.” Elgar says to you.

“...I’ll take you up on that. Dreadfully sorry to be leaving in the middle of dinner like this.” you say as you get up from your spot. “I promise to return as soon as I’m able to.”

“Oh don’t worry about us Lady Miranda, we eagerly await your return!” Katlin says as she waves you off.

******

As you walk over to Dr. Gaterkin’s office, you do a quick transformation back into your Brooklyn form. You can see that the line has nearly all died down when you head on inside in the office. Though as soon as you enter you are caught by surprise as Mina walks over to Dr. Gaterkin’s office waiting room.
>>
[2/2]
“I flipped over the patients Dr. Gaterkin!” Mina says happily to Dr. Gaterkin.

“Hm. Excellent. Flip them over again in another hour from now.” Dr. Gaterkin says as he sorts out some work on the introduction desk.

“...You’re working in your condition?!” you say to Mina as soon as you enter.

“I gotta pay off my medical expenses somehow!” Mina replies cheerily.

“I would’ve done it for free. Not everyday I get to work on a Belkarian.” Dr. Gaterkin replies.

“...What?” you ask the Doctor after a few stunned seconds later.

“Yes. The extremely tense muscle tissue was a dead giveaway.” Dr. Gaterkin replies. “Quite fascinating to see how demonic tissue and physiology reacted to burns firsthand.”

“Yes he did such a good job too! I mean I don’t feel nearly any sort of pain anymore!” Mina says waving her bandaged stump in the air.

“...Wait a second... Why the hell are we talking about this in the middle of a public clinic waiting room!?” you ask aloud.

“...Mommy what’s a Sukubus?” a small child nearby asks his mother.

“...Brooklyn literally everyone in the town saw what I did.” Mina says shrugging. “I don’t see what the big deal is myself...”

You give a sigh to yourself as your hand runs down over your face. “If there is one silver lining here, it’s that your arm will regenerate.”

“No it will not.” Dr. Gaterkin replies.
>>
[3/3]

“...What?” you reply.

“The plasma burn from the automaton had particles inside of it that seemed to be interfering with the Belkarian’s natural regeneration.” Dr. Gaterkin says. “Uncommon, but not rare. Could be cured with access to an alchemical laboratory.”

“Well great! All we need to do is just get one at Fort Hope a-”

“Fort Hope lacks the proper alchemy lab needed for potion synthesis.” Dr. Gaterkin replies.
>>
>>24428696
Amanda needs to become a Miyan.
>>
>>24428696
I guess that mean a trip to TO
>>
>>24428696
old TO it is then
>>
>>24428696
"Alright ... so give me list of what you would need or point us to someone that already has this stuff ..."
>>
>>24428696

would Father Gregorys lab equipment be capable of potion synthesis?
wait. WAIT!

IS THE LOOT FINE!? THAT LAB STUFF IS NEEDED TO UPGRADE OUR MEDICAL FACILITIES!!!
>>
>>24428696
"Let me guess, the only place nearby with the proper alchemy lab would be New T.O?

Joy."

Give Mina a hug. "Well, unless any other ideas we have don't pan out it looks like we'll be heading towards New T.O. pretty soon."
>>
>>24428788

Depends on whenever or not that is brought up and asked.
>>
>>24428788
Well we have a few different things we can check before we NEED to use New T.O. to fix this. The first among them is calling up Miyu and asking if she knows how to fix this with what we have on hand, that girl knows her Medicine something fierce. This combines well with #2, using Father Gregory's lab equipment.

#3 is just the basic suggestion of throwing magic at the problem until it stops being problematic, it probably won't work.
>>
>>24428696
We should ask the queens if they know a better way.
>>
>>24428788
Does Brooklyn even know about the loot?
>>
>>24428909

Mina does...

Well, hopefully she'll think of it. If not I'm sure Erika will bring it up when we hit the bathhouse later. Assuming she isn't back at the castle.
>>
>>24428696
>>24428658
Well, balls. At least we can fix her up eventually, but it should require some work.

“Oh! We found some ‘medical’ equipment back in the town we went to!” Mina says.

“What kind?” Dr. Gaterkin asks.

“...Probably not best to say what kind in polite company, but it appeared to be really advanced!” Mina says.

“Hm...” Dr. Gaterkin says leaning back in his chair. “Lead me to the equipment. I’ll ascertain their quality. Otherwise the nearest lab is in Old TO.”

“Perfect!” you reply.

“If need be you can always ask your ‘friends’ what they think of the matter too.” Mina replies, referring to the Queens.

(Anything else here? If not, what do you do next?)
>>
>>24429188
Then we'll excuse ourselves and go see the twins.
>>
>>24429188
"I'll be sure to talk to them about it later. Take care Mina."

Give her a hug and return to the twins. She'll be fine, we'll call up Miyu later and show her the equipment we have available.
>>
Now if Amanda still want to become a Miyan we have a bunker full of old world tech she can use too...
>>
>>24429188
Make sure Mina has a bed for the night. Also a gentle reminder to watch her promises.
>>
>>24429276
Yep. Now if only we had some easy to harvest aether.
>>
>>24429342
THIS!
>>
>>24429188
Go to the twins, We do need to get more aether, after all.
>>
>>24429382
I think Brooklyn would likely prefer some hugs and tea to giving out the P. Besides, they need PREPARATION.
>>
>>24429254
>Miyu
speaking of super science if a cyborg arm can be created to be equal or greater than Mina's old arm it should happen
>>
>>24429619
I think Mina can make her arm vibrate already, so no way a cyborg arm is better.
>>
>>24429619
It might be possible, note the word might, if we found a damn good techie Miyan, but I doubt Mina would be as adroit with it, it wouldn't heal itself as well as she normally can heal, it'd have to be maintained, and it might not work as well with her Fightan Magic.
>>
[1/2]

“Do you have a bed for the night?” you ask Mina.

“Of course! The Adamant Door should easily be able to spring a room for me!” Mina replies.

“Very well. Just... be careful of your promises.” you warn Mina.

“Of course! I’m not going to fall for that! ...Well not again anyways.” Mina replies.

“Good day Brooklyn.” Dr. Gaterkin replies without looking up from his paperwork.

******

You then make your way back to the Red Fox Inn, transforming back into Miranda as you head on over there. Upon entering the restaurant area, you can see both the twins still sitting down at the table, currently eating some cheese as dessert.

“Lady Miranda! How was your friend?” Stacy asks.

“Well enough to the point where she was able to help the doctor with his own work.” you say sitting down at the table.

“Oh what a relief! We were so worried about your friend!” Katlin says giving a sigh of relief.
>>
>>24429619
>Cyborg arm
means that her abilities would be dependant on the arm, which would be retarded as her main abilities are physical ones...

“So did your girls enjoy your meal?” you ask them.

“Of course! In fact, we were just talking about you.” Stacy replies.

“Oh?” you ask.

“Before we met you, we heard some things from the local townsfolk involving you...” Stacy replies.

“They say that you... took part in the battle against Lord Langy.” Katlin says.

“They said some... less than flattering things... Horrible forms of a beast from the darkest depths of hell...” Stacy says shivering to herself.

“...Lady Miranda. Are all these rumours true?” Katlin asks.
>>
>>24429653
>and it might not work as well with her Fightan Magic.
it would count as a weapon so it should work.
>>24429633
if vibrate is all you can think of for a cyborg arm I pity you.
>>
>>24429653
>if we found a damn good techie Miyan
See this is one of the reasons I would prefer to make Amanda something else than Miyan. Because I would rather just find a decently leveled/spec'd one than trying to build one up. Too much time investment for a non-combat for my liking. But I'm just ranting at this point.
>>
>>24429688
Perhaps move this conversation else where?

But what to say ... what to say.

"Naturally when Langy destroyed such a large swathe of the town including my own home for no apparent reason I did what I could in the fight to stop him."
Not sure whether to admit to darkness form or not though.
>>
>>24429765
And anyway, Langly was practicing human sacrifice to gain the favor of his lord! He tried to sacrifice his own step-daughter, it was all I could to to rescue the poor girl!

I know magic. My best domains are that of Light... and Darkness. Darkness is usually associated with evil but that isn't so.

Also terror has a great use on the battlefield and to wield it well can cause enemies to flee without fighting. Those men wouldn't have a chance against me. So to spare their lives I caused them to flee.

it would still be an arm and part of her body. Mina is a martial artist and focuses her magic through her weapons(fists, knives, staff, and thrown) so as long as the arm is at least as durable as her natural arm it wouldn't matter.

>>24429688
"Whatever they said while it wasn't completely false failed to cover the whole story.

Though we should probably take this conversation somewhere more private for any further exploration into this subject."

If she can repair the robot and ride it she'll be as combat able as any of us.

>>24429889
but she would not be able to improve it along with the rest of her body as she levels up, unless the arm improves aswell, which makes it dependent on other characters, not the greatest of ideas

That's a big if man. Not to mention the pride demons are going to want this thing cut to pieces and fast.

>>24429688
"Well I suppose I might as well tell you sooner rather than later but I did it to protect the town and its inhabitants"

This but let's go somewhere more private
>>
>>24429957
>but she would not be able to improve it along with the rest of her body as she levels up
but it's not truly her body that gets stronger so much as her channeling Aether through her body better.
>>
If we're really going to continue this line of conversation we should move this to somewhere more private.
>>
"...Whatever they said while it wasn't completely false failed to cover the whole story.” you reply after a few seconds.

“Lady Miranda... can you?” Katlin asks.

“Though we should probably take this conversation somewhere more private for any further exploration into this subject." you say getting up from your location. “Is your room safe enough?”

“But of course! This way to our rooms please!” Stacy says getting up. Katlin, please pay for the meal while I escort Lady Miranda to our room.”

With that, Stacy brings you up to her room in the Red Fox Inn with Katlin following shortly after. The room isn’t that much to look at. Merely two simple beds, a dressed, and a window having an outlook to the park.

“Now Lady Miranda... Just to what extent where these rumours true?” Stacy asks.

“Can you really channel aether and turn into darkness?” Katlin asks.

“Katlin! Don’t badger Lady Miranda! Let her answer on her own terms!” Stacy warns Katlin.

Your mind beings to wonder what you should tell them next...
>>
>>24430214
I say just do what we did with Amanda and show them. Let them react to that for a bit.
>>
>>24430214
Conjure a chair out of thin air, sits on it and transform back to succubus.
"Well I'm not exactly human to begin with."
>>
>>24430214
Lets just tell them we control light and dark, two sides of the same coin as it were
>>
>>24430214
[x] Do not tentacle the twins. Instead, say you MIGHT have some small abilities.
>>
>>24430236
Showing them normal magic, sure. Showing them the darkness form and forcing them to take fear checks, no.
>>
>>24430306
Like I said, what we did with Amanda. Just glow our hands with light and darkness that's it.

Sit down on a bed, invite them to sit down as well, turn on Aura Sight, because paranoia.

If they're afraid say something like "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, just because I didn't tell you about my abilities doesn't change the fact that I care for the both of you."

Regardless of whether that's said or not continue with "It'd be rather silly of me to say that I couldn't after the show I put on earlier today. I can control darkness, light, I dabble a bit in some other fields as well.

Before I go any further with my answers I have a question for the both of you. Do you trust me? Do you understand that I'm not going to force you into anything, hurt you, coerce you, anything like that? I really do care for the both of you."
>>
>>24430214
Just tell them that we can do magic. Don't tell them about the succubus part.
>>
>>24430386
They'll figure it out when it comes to us having to suck their dicks to collect magic power to do magic.
>>
>>24430420
Brooklyn doesn't suck any dick. He's a straight man aiming only for women.
>>
>>24430420
>comes to us having to suck their dicks

just sayin that may be a little hard to do
>>
>>24430444
... It isn't if they're from /d/.
>>
>>24430420
>>24430436
They would need dicks first. also, bath time later, because warm soaks.
>>
>>24430386
We're planning on turning them into Gemelli Succubutts, I'm not saying start this conversation by saying we're a Succubus, but honestly we should cover that somewhere in this conversation if we get a chance, get them thinking about it.

>>24430420
They're girls, they don't have dicks, yet.
>>
>>24430475
It's that 'yet' part that's keeping me entertained.

So, instead of dicks, at the moment we get to do other things in a fantastically FATAL sexual manner to generate magic. Am I reading that right?
>>
>>24430470
I think we'd have noticed the first time
>>
>>24430491
Kiss people and use our tail on them from what I know. I think cunnilingus would work too but that would require EXPERIMENT.
>>
>>24430495
>Implying we've groped them before.

>>24430520
I'm up for experiment. Who else is up for experiment?
>>
>>24430491
>>24430520
Simple kissing works fine on mortals. Other methods just make it faster.
>>24430534
Brooklyn may be too tired to sex, as crazy as that idea is.
>>
>>24430491
There's two primary ways we can get Aether back. The first is to hang out around people who are emotional in some way, the second is to fuck/kiss people and nom some of their Aether.

For the drain fucking in this case it would require us revealing that we're a succubutt, because it requires the use of our tail if they're a girl, but honestly we won't get that much from them and it'll knock them out for a while, and we can drain them easily with a kiss if need be as they aren't Aetherically enlightened. With guys we can fuck and drain them without revealing our Succubutt nature.

>>24430520
Might work, I doubt we'd get a faster drain than if we kissed them though.

We cuddled the fuck out of them last time we saw them.
>>
>>24430584
If it requires the use of the tail on girls, how about we go full Succubutt and try fuckin' some duds for Aether? Will that work?
>>
>>24430364
I still say hold off on letting them in on the succubus think quite yet. We should eventually, but we should hold off until we have the energy to offer enlightenment or conversion if they are interested.
>>
Getting called away for housework, but I'll be right back in a bit. Update is probably... half done.
>>
>>24430623
We have the energy for a Gemelli conversion just sitting in the bank dude, just waiting for a pair of twins to come by wanting to be strong, strong enough that they can't get hurt again and won't be scared anymore, sound like anyone we know?

>>24430611
It would work, we could fuck a dude, no need to reveal any Succubutt traits, and drain some Aether from them. We could kill them this way, but that'd be impolite if they're innocent and leave an obnoxious body trail, if we nommed half of it they'd be fine in a couple days, 1/4th they'd be up in a day or so, 3/4ths they'd be down for a week or more.

Some in this Quest object to the idea of Brooklyn fucking dudes though.
>>
>>24430667
It would work.

We're a succubutt, we can feed without revealing ourselves, and people DON'T want to do it?
>>
>>24430729
Don't look at me.

Though in fairness for Mortals we can drain them quick enough with just a kiss that sexing them up is more for fun than anything else.

For Aetherically Enlightened folks it's a lot harder to drain them and the only way to do it in a timely manner for us is to sex them up as it'd take a long time of kissing, I don't remember exactly how long but a fairly long time, to make headway on someone like Alex, Uilodsir, or Troy.
>>
>>24430729
We can feed without revealing ourselves anyway. Like we have been doing for the last 30 threads.
>>
>>24430729
>We're a succubutt, we can feed without revealing ourselves, and people DON'T want to do it?
I'm against it on the basis that Brooklyn has only been female for less than 1 month and it took our Queen(who also started as a male) several hundred years before going Bi from lesbian
>>
>>24430611
How about no? Have you read previous threads at all?
There has been constant majority that doesn't want to fuck dudes.
Especially that IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
There are other ways to get aether.
>>
>>24430611
> try fuckin' some dudes
nah, we get enough eating emotions , and deboning some dudes is against our established character
>>
>>24430214
Just hold up one hand, wreathed in darkness and the other filled with light. Then mention that light tends to cause greater collateral damage when employed in urban areas...

[1/2]

You give a small sigh as you sit down on the bed in the room, turning your aura sight on in the process. “Have a small seat girls, I’ll explain the best that I’m able to.”

Once both Stacy and Katlin are sitting down, eagerly paying attention to you, you hold your hands up into the air. A cloud of pure darkness envelops one of your hands while a bright shining light can be seen in the other. The sheer sight of it makes both the twins jump back, their auras radiating the smell of fear.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you.” you say quickly reassuring them. “Yes, I am able to control aether for various spells and their effects. I can control darkness and light, two different sides of the same coin in addition to some other fields as well. It would be rather silly of me to say so otherwise after the events that have transpired here today.”

“A-Are you in service to Lord Articus?” Katlin asks.

You shake your head at her reply. “No, I’m not registered at all. I realize the risk that entails, but I prefer not to live my life as a slave to the Pride Demon Empire. But I need to make one thing clear to the both of you right now. Just because I didn’t tell you about my abilities doesn’t change the fact that I care for the both of you.”

“...Lady Miranda, I understand how you feel completely.” Stacy says after a few seconds. “I can hardly blame you for this information being withheld from us.”
>>
[2/2]

“If anything that makes us all the more excited to know you! An on the run magician, fighting against impossible odds for the good of the people and adventure!” Katlin says.

“...Oh Katlin please do not bring your novels into this...” Stacy says giving a small sigh.

You drop the dark and light pulsating from both of your hands, letting them relax to your sides. “Before I go any further with my answers I have a question for the both of you. Do you trust me? Do you understand that I'm not going to force you into anything, hurt you, coerce you, anything like that? I really do care for the both of you."

“But of course Lady Miranda! You’ve not only saved our lives, but entrusted us with possibly your biggest secret!” Stacy replies.

“I find it hard for us not to trust you at this point!” Katlin adds.
>>
>>24430997
"Well, actually that isn't my biggest secret."

Shift back to Brooklyn, let our our wings and tail.

"I'm a Succubus, which explains one of the many reasons I'm not working with the Pride Demons, and my name is actually Brooklyn, though you can call me Miranda if you want. Though me being a scholar wasn't a lie.

I would like to clear up any misconceptions you may have about us, so could you tell me what you already know about Succubi."

>>24431219

Not saying we shouldn't do it, we should, but it doesn't do much.

“Well actually... That is not my biggest secret.” you tell the girls.

Stacy’s eyes widen up in expression. “Oh?”

You then shift back into your Brooklyn persona once more, complete with the wings, tail, and horns coming out of your head.

Stacy jumps back into her chair, a small part of a scream coming out of her mouth while Katlin jumps back in her own chair, too shocked to say anything for the current moment. Both of their auras being a colour of orange (fear/shock).

“I’m actually a Succubus, which explains one of the reason why I’m not working with the Pride Demons.” you say as you take off your hat. “My name is actually Brooklyn, but you can still call me Miranda if you prefer.”

“So everything you told us about you is a lie?” Stacy asks.

“No. I’m still a scholar, as are many Okarians I’d imagine. My feelings for you haven’t changed as well either.” you reply. “I would like to clear up any sort of misconceptions you have about us, as I’m pretty sure you have heard numerous falsehoods about Succubi in general.”

“Nevermind about Succubi! What about you!” Katlin replies. “What about all those stories you told us back during our first dinner! Are those are lies as well!?” Katlin spits out, her aura currently being red (anger).

“K-Katlin please! Settle down!” Stacy says trying to calm her fuming sister, her aura a light blue colour.
>>
Oh yes, for reference, most of those tales Brooklyn talked to the twins about were real... just spin-offs of stories he had already read about.
>>
>>24431511
The only thing I hid from you was y nature and my true identity, it was as much for my protection as your own, for if you knew others might have taken you for even the slightest bit of information.

Now with what's happened in the city though, hiding is rather pointless, anyone important now knows of me, and will surely find out more, so now it's all up to you to decide if you wish to continue to associate with me, and that is why I've shown myself to you now.
>>
>>24431511
My only deceptions were WHAT I am, not WHO I am. I trust you two, this is dangerous for me to tell anybody. But it isn't fair to either of you for me to keep the charade up.

"Well I couldn't tell you the straight unchanged truth of my life for obvious reasons. I couldn't put 'then I threw exploding balls of magical energy at the bandit' into them.

The stories I told you were comprised of elements of stories I have read, the personalities of other people were lifted from friends of mine, and the stories had some basis in things I actually have done and skills I possess. But I wouldn't call them true by any stretch of the imagination.

If you want the true stories about me I can give them to you, I have battled demons, cheated death, bent fate to save a friend, hunted bandits, saved two remarkable young ladies from bandits, a Reaper crashed on my now destroyed couch much of the time, and fought a giant robot, among other things.

“That is... still a fairly remarkable list to accomplishments, wouldn’t you say Katlin?” Stacy asks.

“So I guess the part about telling farfetched tales to get others to be interested in them another misconception about Succubi, or is that actually true as well?” Katlin asks seeming to cut straight to the point. Her aura a brown (bitter) colour.

>>24431900
"Well, Okarians, like myself, do have a penchant for drama, acting, story telling, that sort of thing. But that's not why I told that story.

I told that story because you two were scared and asked me to tell you a story. I could hardly tell you the truth, nor could I refuse to tell you one and disappoint you. So I told you a story, a good one mind you, one that reassured you, one that calmed you, one that took your mind off of what had happened.

I wouldn't consider my tales farfetched compared to what I actually have done. If anything they were far more grounded and less impressive than what I actually do."

Do you know what the Pride Demons do to Succubi? If the Pride Demons found out than a life of servitude is the best I could actually hope for. But I am deeply, truly sorry if my tales or actions have hurt you in any way, shape, or form. I beg you for any chance you may give me in order to make it up for the both of you.”

A short silence can be heard throughout the room as the twins take time to soak up the information you had just bestowed upon them. Katlin’s aura pulses a light green (distrustful) while Stacy’s pulses a pink (compassionate) aura and orange (fear).
>>
[2/2]

“...Excuse me. I need some air.” Katlin says as she grabs her coat and heads for the door exit.

“That’d could’ve gone better...” you sigh as you put on your hat once again.

“Oh no, I think Katlin understands deep down, but rather she has a hard time accepting it.” Stacy explains to you. “I do worry about her time to time, but I’m sure she’ll be fine. She most likely won’t go beyond the patio of the inn. ...Lady Mir- I mean Lady Brooklyn, if you do not mind, would you clarify some things about Succubi for me?”

“Of course. What do you want to know?” you ask.

“Is it true that you need to drain men nearly to death on a near daily basis? Do sudden urges to consume the souls of others come up with you? Do you actually eat human souls?” Stacy asks beginning to bombard you with questions. “What about taming? Who is your current tamer? ...F-forgive me of course if such a question is extremely rude amongst your culture! Most of my information mainly comes from heading to the Succubus Etiquette Education center within New TO.”

Tamers... You know that term off by heart. It’s the given to demons who Succubi break themselves to.
>>
>>24432320
Tamers, nothing more than an apithet, a foul twisting of language to disguise the real word, 'slaver', I am free and will remain so unto death.

As to the feeding, no we do not consume souls, just the basic energy given off by humans the same aether used for spells, we can kill by feeding and in some ways it's better for us, more food quickly from any individual, but I refrain from that unless it's a criminal like the snow pirates. more often we just go to a location where there's a lot of ambient emotion, like a sporting event, the little bits I get from any one person are so small as to be unnoticeable, but drips from thousands become a river. more than satisfying enough, and even better that I know that I haven't harmed anyone through the feeding.
>>
>>24432393
*epithet

how the hell did I mess that up?
>>
>>24432393
>we can kill by feeding and in some ways it's better for us
Let's rephrase that ok?
"We can kill by feeding, but only if we drain a person of all their Aether."

Also may want to say that we can drain a person* by either kissing, or with a sexual act.

*important to say that it's not only men
>>
>>24432320
"Please, just Brooklyn.

Succubi can sustain themselves without draining if they want, we can feed on ambient emotions as well as draining people's Aether via kissing or sex, note people, not just men. And if we drain people we can control how much or how little Aether we take from them. If I throw around a lot of magic I will need to feed somehow though and I could burn through all the Aether a mortal has in pretty short order if I am throwing around a lot of magic. Though I make a note of not killing or seriously draining anyone who doesn't deserve it.

If we're starving for Aether we do get urges to feed, just like a person who hasn't eaten in a long time, except perhaps moreso. It doesn't rob our reason, but it can be disruptive.

That one's a bit tricky, Aether, Souls, or Lifeforce are pretty much the same thing, so I suppose technically yes. (Note, if your Aether and Soul are distinct change it to "No, we subsist on Aether, same as pretty much every other supernatural creature, which is magical energy that everyone possesses to some extent." If it's unclear say "This one's a bit tricky, it's not clear what the relation between someone's Soul and the Aether we can drain is, so I can't really answer your question.") Though if they're alive their Aether will regenerate to its natural state given some time.

As for taming, that is a sensitive subject. If someone tortures and hurts a Succubus enough, pain beyond imagining, they can break them and then remold them, change them, make them love and serve their torturer. It's not taming, it's breaking, they're not tamers, they're slavers, and I feel a distinct urge to brutally murder anyone who does that. I am not broken and I plan on avoiding it ever happening."

I have no tamer. I am a free succubus. And we do not call it 'taming'. It is breaking ones mind and will, like one would break a slave. And it IS slavery. So yes, it would be very rude to ask. But I understand.

I do not need to kill to drain. I do not even need to drain men, women work just as well. I prefer them, in fact. I can also feed off of the emotions of nearby mortals, though it would have to be a group, not only one or two. A rowdy pub, or a play or sports are all good meals. I have no more urges to drain someone to death then you do to kill a cow to consume it. Even if I am VERY hungry, it's no more difficult an act of will to stop myself from eating some random soul than you would if you were on a diet and stopping yourself from eating a cake. And I only need to eat if I exert myself a great deal.

Like, say, stopping a mad lordling from tearing this city down around our heads.

A short discussion about the nature of Aether might improve it. And be good for us for lore purposes.

>>24432320
...Oh, dear... In the order of your questions, I'm not bi, only when I'm starving to the point that a normal human suffering the same hunger might resort to cannibalism, while I can eat souls or even limit myself to such small portions of souls that it'd regenerate before anyone could even notice, I mostly subsist on ambient emotional energy, and taming is tantamount to slavery, do I look or act like a slave to you?

>>24432603
She wasn't asking our sexual orientation, she was asking if Succubi need to drain men most of the way to death, that first bit really isn't a complete answer.
>>
>>24432641
It's a little thing called levity. A joke would be good in this situation, and she will probably get the meaning.

"Please, just Brooklyn.” you first say to Stacy.

“As you wish Lady B-, I-I mean Brooklyn.” Stacy says.

“Succubi can sustain themselves without draining if they want, we can feed on ambient emotions as well as draining people's Aether via kissing or sex, note people, not just men. And if we drain people we can control how much or how little Aether we take from them.

Though I make a note of not killing or seriously draining anyone who doesn't deserve it.” you say.

“Those who do deserve it are...?” Stacy inquires.

“Snow Pirates who captured you for example. In fact just before my partner and I found you, we devoured a few of them ourselves.” you tell Stacy.

Stacy’s aura turns into a vermillion (happy) colour. “But how often do you feel cravings to eat food?”
>>

“If we're starving for Aether we do get urges to feed, just like a person who hasn't eaten in a long time, except perhaps moreso. It doesn't rob our reason, but it can be disruptive.” you tell her. “As for the soul and aether itself... I can understand where this misconception or conclusive leap comes from. There are debates amongst scholars to whenever or not aether and the soul are related to one another. What I do know is that we subsist on Aether, pretty much the same as every other supernatural creature, which is magical energy that everyone possesses to some extent. We are able to suck out some of the aether from nearly anyone, but so long as some of it remains the subjects will always recover in time. As for taming... that is a sensitive subject. If someone tortures and hurts a Succubus enough, pain beyond imagining, they can break them and then remold them, change them, make them love and serve their torturer. It's not taming, it's breaking, they're not tamers, they're slavers, and I feel a distinct urge to brutally murder anyone who does that. I am not broken and I plan on avoiding it ever happening."

“So wait, does that mean the Succubus Center in New TO...” Stacy says connecting the dots.

You can only give a small nod in response.

“I... I would’ve never thought. The Succubi there seemed to be so well behaved and so kind. I... I admit that I was thinking of purchasing one form there once we could afford the absorbent price, but I definitely won’t be doing such a thing after hearing this!” Stacy says.

“Even renaming things to simple words can help disguise the brutal meaning of what they actually are. It is similar to how the Pride Demons refer to their wetwork Envy Demons as ‘The Cleaners’.” you reply.
>>
>>24432320

Think of all daemons as people. They have their hopes, dreams, desires and fears. think of them as individuals some are good some are bad but most just want to go about their lives.

To start feeding succubi feed off of aether like all demons.

succubi feed off ambient emotions all the time each emotion has it's own taste. Just by being in close proximity to a group of people experiencing a strong emotion is enough to be full. This is the preferred and mostly used method of feeding.

Succubi can also feed off of any person by kissing or doing any sexual activity. Usually they only take a small bit that usually a day is enough to restore. Some times an inexperienced succubi may accidentally kill, usually during a sexual act. Reason why most young succubi need to be tutored so they don't accidentally kill someone.

Succubi don't have sudden urges to consume souls. They can however get hungry if their aether gets low an uncommon occurrence usually happening if one expended a lot of aether. Think of it as if you yourself got hungry and kept thinking about food. You would be appalled at yourself but you can control yourself.


Tamer is a term the pride demons coined to make what they actually do palatable to any moral person... What they do is break succubi. They often torture them until they are broken giving up their mind and soul to their new master. It is a sad state to for them in they are are compelled into doing whatever their master says and the master can brainwash them into likening it without ever knowing who they were before.

"The Pride Demons and their assorted underlings and allies tend to be rather unpleasant people. I've mainly been under the radar because of that, because of what they do to any Succubi they find and capture. Though that was disrupted when Lord Langy decided to unearth a giant warmachine and lay waste to the town. I didn't really have much of a choice but to stop him alongside some friends of mine. It was not a pleasant day, though you two showing up was a definite bright spot.

You may be wondering what I meant when I said I was an Okarian. There are 7 different clans of Succubi, Okarians like myself are talented at magic, though we're somewhat frail compared to the others. ..." Give a basic overview of Succubi, make sure to talk a bit extra about Gemelli, the twin thing, them spending all their time together. At the end of answering any questions she has about that sort of thing and running her through the basics of basics about Succubuttery, if Katlin isn't back yet, ask her if she thinks Katlin is okay and if we should go check on her.

“Okarian... If I recall I heard some people in Old TO mention Succubi by that group as well.” Stacy says.

“There are 7 different clans of Succubi, Okarians like myself are talented at magic, though we're somewhat frail compared to the others. Let me break down how all the different castes of Succubi work.” you say as you begin to talk to her about the different kinds of Succubi that exist, but in particular spending a bit more time on Gemelli and what they entail.

“And that wraps up the basic summary of the Succubi clans. ...Are you sure Katlin is OK? She hasn’t come back yet.” you ask Stacy.

“She’s just thinking at the moment. I think the best thing to do is to just give her some space. Was there anything in particular you wanted to say to her?” Stacy asks you.
>>
>>24433084

"I am just concerned is all. I fear my manipulations of who I am may have offended her. I know how confusing and frightful learning what you have always known to be true is naught but a lie, and I also know that during times of uncertainty, it is best to be with someone you care for."
>>
>>24433084
"Two things that I can think of right now, aside from the information I just dropped on you.

The first is that I am planning to go out and take a bath at the local bath house and was wondering if either or both of you would care to join me. I could use a long, hot, soak.

The second thing I wanted to say to her is something that I wanted to talk to the both of you about. It's possible to turn Mortals into Succubi. I have available to me a method of doing so if you're truly interested, though currently I can only transform a pair of Gemelli. I'd rather not go into the nitty gritty details about it, the hows and whys until I have both of you with me, you'll both have a lot of questions and both deserve honest answers."
>>
>>24433183
we might wait off on that till katlin is ok we already dropped one bomb shell on her don't need to drop another just yet.
>>
guys, we're getting some hints that these two might be linked together already.
>>
>>24433206
could be true but they would have to be really good at disguise for both of them to hide their aura and they would not have been taken so easily by bandits.

however a little paranoia is good
>>
>>24433160
I'll support this.

Feel this >>24433183 is a bit much ... pushy I guess. Eh.
>>
>>24433237
If they were already succubu, I doubt they would have been so perturbed by our reveal
>>
>>24433206
I don't think they're linked magically, we've looked at their Auras a lot and we'd probably have noticed if that was true, and also by looking at their Auras we've seen their emotions in given situations and if they were already Succubutts as their Auras would look Enlightened. Unless they were absurdly good at that sort of thing which would beg the question why the bandits who captured them weren't instantly gibbed.

Honestly, I just think it's because they're twins, they've spent most of their time together since they were born, if you spend that much time with someone you get to know them pretty well and know how they react in given situations.
>>
>>24433275
not succubu but maybe psychic

i doubt they have magic

but psychics ARE a thing here, and a minor connection between twins is a very real possiblity

“I think it is more about the lie about your identity more than anything else, but I cannot say for certain what is going on in that mind of hers with absolute clarity.” Stacy says. “Just give her some space for the time being and I’m sure she’ll be fine.”

“Are you leaving tomorrow with your father?” you ask.

“No. Father wishes to stay a few extra days to take any and all the deals he possibly can.” Stacy replies.

You give a sigh of relief. “Good. It gives me some time to talk to her again.”

“Don’t worry Brooklyn. We’ll be here waiting for you anytime you need us.” Stacy says. “Or possibly the bath house. I swear Fort Hope has to be one of the most hygienic place I’ve ever been to.”

“Thank god for that.” you reply.

(Any other questions you want to ask Stacy? If not, then where to next?)
>>
>>24433333
Or you know that creepy twin thing that every twin I've meet has ...

>>24433352
might want to look into the books at langy's castle for now.

oh could ask if they travel near the forest of sorrows. If so they might want to be careful as vary recently our friends killed a litch who was converting people into zombies to attack fort hope. It may be an oddity but i would advise cation just in case.

"I stop by the bath house pretty often myself, it's a lovely place, the water is spectacular. I'm planning on going there now actually. I might see you there, though I may be wearing a different face at the time.

When you see Katlin could you tell her that I'm sorry? I did lie about who I was out of necessity, but never about how I felt. I'm not going to lie to you two again and will try to truthfully answer any questions you have. I don't like lying to people I care about.

I'd say my door was always open and to come by for a cup of tea whenever you'd like, but I can't because my house was exploded by a giant robot.

Take care of yourself, and Katlin."

Give Stacy a hug and a kiss, put our demonic traits away, and head out. First hit the patio, bid Katlin goodbye and say we're sorry, then head to the bath house.
>>
>>24433436
That is a good thing to inform her of, letting her know about Zombies in the area is just a polite thing to do.

“But of course Brooklyn! I’ll relay this information to her as soon as she comes back in!” Stacy replies.

“I'd say my door was always open and to come by for a cup of tea whenever you'd like, but I can't because my house was vaporized by a giant robot.” you tell with a sigh as you adjust your hat.

“Are you sure you don’t need a place to stay? I can easily pay for a room if you please. I do not think Father would mind at all.” Stacy says.

“Positive. I wasn’t lying when I said I had friends who’d help me out with this situation too.” you say as you get up to give Stacy a small hug and kiss. “Take care of yourself Stacy, and Katlin too.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been doing that for my entire life.” Stacy says returning your small hugs and kisses.

With that, you head on over to the bathhouse. Both to clean yourself up and secondly to wash away the massive feeling of stress that is now over you. You do ponder to yourself if you should go within your Sara form when you do go there. Doing so would allow you to check up on both Amanda and Erika to see how they are doing. Perhaps asking them if you wouldn’t mind staying for the night at her place or just go over to Langy’s castle to get Ada give you a place there.

(OK then, feel free to use this thread to talk about what you want to do next or for future plans. I'll see if I can get other sheets involving Amanda, Leona, and the twins sometime in the future.)
>>
>>24433628
Visit as Sara, we may as well say hi to the both of them. Make sure that Erika is alright, make sure Amanda knows we're doing fine and keeping her updated on the situation.

We should probably let Erika/Amanda know about the Twins, how they're good friends of ours, they know about us, and to take care of them if they drop by the bathhouse.

After that I think we should stay at Langy castle, it means that we're that much closer to the library full of books that give us a massive lady-scholar-boner.
>>
>>24433628
Last post of the night?
We should check up on everyone, make sure they're ok.

It'll be worth it to keep quiet for a few days while everything settles down, lest the Pride demons stick their hand in again. Only harder.

Some things that need doing:

>using the lab parts to get Mina her arm back
>smoothing things out with the twins
>it's now safe for Leona to see Erika again
>Leona will eventually come to terms with the fact that we, and now her beloved sister, are sex demons
>>
>>24433705
have to come to terms with*
>>
>>24433685

Yea last post of the night.
>>
>>24433705
Addition to your post here, for the Mina arm thing, the first thing we do is take a look at the lab parts we have available, and if the Langy bunker has any cool hidden medical supplies lying around. Then we call up Miyu and ask her if we can SCIENCE it with what we have available to us. If I remember correctly her highest Skills are in Medicine, Biology, and the like so we have a damn good chance of being able to fix it in house.

For the twins, give them a bit of time, let Stacy talk some sense into Katlin, once Katlin is feeling better about us we should probably bring up the Succubutting possibilities.

For Leona and Erika, yup, they can totally hang out again.

As for Leona coming to terms with that, I think we ought to start by letting them see each other again, letting Leona see that Erika is the same person, then drop the Succubutt bomb on her, help her through understanding that bit, and engage in hugs, double hugs with full succubutt traits out, because wings are like extra hugging arms, but they can also make you fly.

What happened to the paladin?

>>24434030

by all rights, he and the Demon Guards should still be in the Fort. we still need to deal with them...

>>24434827
Weren't the demon guards supposed to defend the current lord in case of a coup attempt?
