"Yes!" Theta said. His voice seemed to boom in the back of your head, and blurred together- like someone slammed up the gain and down the volume. Centaur hearing wasn't very good, you quickly figured out. "Three complete changes simultaniously. I *am* the best."
"... I'm not quite sure what you've done." You hear Sarvesh say, and look at him. He was... a lot smaller. as small as a tall human, now, his carapace dark red- and the carapace on his back was made of multiple shells placed together.
"How do I look?!" Pheles slurred, and you look over to her- she was human, with UV-white hair and tanned skin. "Ugh, I can't talk at a- ow!" She said, biting her own tongue.
She was also perfectly nude, and about your size, you'd guess. And then you realize that you have seven fingers sticking out of your upper lip, dangling down- and that your nostrils were on either cheekbone, flapping as you took a breath. You felt like you were wearing a suit of armor everywhere, skintight.

>>24456973
<I can't fly my ship like this.>

oh nice we're a centaur!

"That is impressive." Use Einstein's viewer to see what we look like now.

>>24456973
"This is very disconcerting."

>>24456973
"dfg'*tyu**wer're'cv*"

>>24456973
so female Sarvesh
centaur heather
human pheles
not bad theta

<... I can't fly my ship like this.> You say, and flap your mandibles forward.
"Don't worry, I'll turn it off again later."
Pheles tried to take a step- and stumbled into you. It was impossible for something so tiny to push you even slightly, it felt.

You close your eyes- where the eyelids came from the sides of your eyes, rather than the top- and focus on Einstein to see yourself. Constrained to human eyesight, you looked reddish tan, with a thick, single shell on your back, Pheles leaning on you giggling and biting her tongue some more, and four legs- your clothing coiled around your front right ankle.
"Thi*buzz* i*buzz* very discon*buzz*er*click*ing." You say.
"... It's what?"
"Very disconcerting." Sarvesh said. "That's what she said."
Pheles just changed to hugging you. "Not used to two legs. Or tongue." She said, very slowly and deliberately. "You're cute, Heawer. Heawer."
"Use your tongue on your upper teeth." Theta said.
"Heather! Hehe! I said it!" She said.

>>24456973
grip theta by the neck and lift.

"I think I'll have to kill you; and one of the few things stopping me is how clumsy I am and the fact that I'd like to go back to being human sometime."

>>24457095
Manifest a dress or something at the very least for pheles

>>24457095
"You look so tiny now!"
Carefully pick her up and place on our carapace.

>>24457118
>Manifest
just lend her some clothes as she's our human size right now

>>24457095

better have her put on some clothing... the only ones we've got are ours.

>>24457095
"You're cute too, Pheles. And Sarvesh, you're so tiny."
So are we a male centaur?

"You loo*click* so tiny now!" You say, your voice booming and strange. You reach out to lift her- and then you realize that the 'inside' of your upper arm's two pincers is designed for shearing throug limbs... so instead you slide your arms underneath her armpits, and lift her up, twisting around your entire waist. It felt strange, like your spine had an axle connecting to your waist- you could probably twist it over 360 degrees. Carefully, you set her on your shell, and feel a small person sitting on what you think of as your butt, dulled by the 'armor'.

"Yay!" She said. "I am prewy.. pretty tiny now. You're so big!" She said, waving out her arms. She hugged you again, and gave you an appraising look. "Ewrywing... everything looks so weird. No IR, or you-wee.. UV."

"You can use my clothes." You tell Pheles, getting more used to *not* clicking your tongues when you spoke. You didn't have teeth, so that was rather strange, so you had to get used to things. Luckily, telepathy did most of the hard work for you.
"Yay!" She said, and carefully, slowly made her way off of your back. You lifted a leg, and felt your entire balance shift *much* more than you were used to, and she started pulling on your clothing, figuring out how it worked.

"... I'm very disconcerted right now." Sarvesh said. "I don't know what's changed about me, but I am smaller."

Pheles gave him a once over- and started giggling. "You're a girl!"
Sarvesh hung his head.
"And Heather's male!" Theta called.

>>24457095
"I'm just gonna stand here for a while."

>>24457211
"Hah!"

>>24457211
"Um."

"What do."

>>24457211
leer at sarvesh; leer at him HARD

>>24457211

"I don't feel like I am, I think?"

>>24457211
Pheles: <Does that mean I have wiggly bits now?>

>>24457260
whatever we do, don't think of sexytimes with anyone.

>>24457277
Unless Theta messed up, it's not going to come out unless we're holding hands.

>>24457277
It's cool, we already asked Sarvesh and Centaurs don't get awkward boners.

>>24457277
Apparently centaur boners just bump against the inside of the carapace unless you make them come out.

>>24457211
>Minor correction; Ball joint, not axle.

"I don't feel like I am, I think?" You say.
"Oh, you are." Theta said.
<Does that mean I have wiggly bits now?> You ask Pheles, and she blushed as brightly as physically possible, the IR easily visible on her cheeks. She looked under you for a bit, then bit her top lip nervously and nodded.
<You... you do. You have the plates and everything.>
"And here is where I turn up *all* the hormones and watch the fun-" Theta said, suddenly tugged into the air by Sarvesh.
Sarvesh shook him.
"I dare you." He said- he sounded as angry as you've ever seen him.
"... That last part was a joke." Theta squeaked.
"... Oh! Okay." Sarvesh set him back down again, and patted you on the head.

Pheles finally got your shirt on, and got to her feet- she was a bit bustier, *much* longer legged than you, and just slightly flabbier, but she fit in your clothing fine. "Tada~!"
"You're very pretty." Sarvesh added, neutrally. She stumbled over to him, arms out to keep her balance, and pulled him into a hug as well.

>>24457339
>and patted *him* on the head

>>24457339
you know I could get used to this extra pair of legs businesses, nice and stable...although I'd hate to see how running feels...and at least be happy you've still got all the appendages you're used to sarvesh. you guys have some weird feeling arm bones

>>24457339
"Hah, so are you, Sarvesh!"

>>24457339

"he's right, you would be very popular."

take a few exploratory steps, carefully.

>>24457339
"He's right. You got bigger boobs than me as well."

"Hah, so are you, Sarvesh!" You call.
Sarvesh went perfectly, utterly silent.
"He's just confused because he likes you a lot, but he's not attracted to you when you're all manly." Pheles said.
Sarvesh shot her a glare.
"He's right, though." You tell Pheles. "You would be very popular. You've got bigger boobs than me as well."
"Do I? I thought the top bit was a little too tight." She said, and looked down the front of her shirt, readjusting her clothing. Sarvesh went bluer and forcefully averted his eyes.

You try to take a step- and one of your front legs shoot sideways away from you, making you lean forward.
"Um, okay. Our hips and knees are all sideways compared to you guys." Pheles said. "So you need to try... shuffling. Sideways."
Carefully, you skid your leg sideways, the entire, crookedly bent leg stepping forward- and then you do the next, stretching your other front leg- and then you pull both rear legs closer to your torso, twisting around to watch how they move.
Walking was probably the weirdest and hardest part about the entire change.

>>24457475
"Uh...not sure I'll get anywhere like this. Hopefully I'll get used to it quickly or it'd take whole day just to get back to the ship."

>>24457475
"It's like you really are crabs."

>>24457475
"Okay... I think I've got it..."
Shuffle around the room a bit.

>>24457475

"this is soooo, strange!"

>>24457475
"Crabwalking!"

Just turn sideways and treat it like your facing forward.

>>24457475
<my sarvesh you seem to be turning blue again, it's fun to be able to see more expression in your face now...>

<My, Sarvesh, you seem to be turning blue again.> you say. <It's fun to be able to see more expression in your face now.>
<I'm just... realizing exactly why Pheles has so many suitors.> He said, quietly.
"Okay." You buzz. "I think I've got it..."
You shuffle forward some more. "This is sooo strange!" You say.
"Walking on two legs is harder!" Pheles called back, wobbling forward. "You guys have like no balance at all. You have to lean waaay back just to shift your weight a little!"

Time passed, and a short time later, you and Pheles *think* you got the hang of walking. Theta had bright green hair by now, tied into a ponytail, and he was lounging back on your back, relaxing.

>>24457603

stop walking, turn around, mess up theta's hair.

"when did you get on?!"

"I wonder if I should keep the eyes... Any chance you could install some sort of IR filter as well, like shades? Or... Maybe I could make shades... Maybe integrate them?"

>>24457603
"...I wonder if my cannon would be easier to fire in this form..."

"einstein activate projected CAD program I wish to do ENGINEERING"

>>24457603
Wouldn't humans have really good balance actually? Just not be very stable in comparison.

I honestly don't mind Theta messing around with our form too much. As long as he doesn't mess around with our mind we can put up with it as a price of being friends.

Like Heather's friends do to her being a complete flirt and technophile hah.

>>24457720
I think we should find out Anna's favourite animal.

Then get Theta to monstergirl us.

You stop tromping forward, and turn back to Theta. "When did you get on?!"
"Your back isn't very sensitive." He said, and knocked on the hard shell.
"I wonder if my cannon would be easier to fire in this form..." You say.
"Probably not." Sarvesh added.
"I wonder if I should keep the eyes." You say. "Maybe I could install some sort of IR filter as well, like shades? Or maybe I could make shades..."
"You haven't even played with your lower arms yet." Pheles said. "Human arms are like... a combination of both of our pairs. A lot stronger than the lower ones, and a lot more fingers than the upper ones."

You reach out with one of your lower arms- and it shot out, almost four feet forward. They seemed ball-jointed as well, and you were relatively certain you could try to grab your own rear ankle with it, reaching below your undercarriage.
"Anyway, I figure I'll leave you guys like this as long as you want." Theta said. "I subtly stole some samples for all of you guys beforehand, so I can turn you back exactly how you were."

Anyway I can get a recap of the 50+ threads so I do not feel like I am walking in on the middle of a movie with no idea what is going on? Sort of want in on this

>>24457788
Your behind a lot, just read the threads, it would be easier.

>>24457788

We've gone over a loooooooooooooooooot of ground. What you can do is go through archives and ctrl-f Exabyte, and you'll just pull up the plot-relevant posts. I think you'll like it, this is a good quest.

>>24457788
We're psychic, we go to psychic school, Void Queen is BBEG who likes killing psychics.

>>24457779

"I much prefer my original body but this is a pretty fun experience. maybe change back after we meet your father, Sarvesh?"

>>24457779
"Should probably change back before we leave, but until then I dunno. Might be kinda cool."

>>24457779
To Theta: <Oh no, I hope you didn't mistakenly grab one of Summer's hairs off of my shirt, thus turning me into a catgirl like the plot of a bad movie. That would be just awful~>

>>24457803
>>24457815
>>24457819
Got ya, I will jump into the archives and try to catch up in time for next quest

>>24457837
it won't take long, maybe 12 hours or so of constant reading :P

Exabyte I love you and your quests.
I wish I could have your babies.
That is all.

>>24457839
nah, probably no more then an hour if he skips all the suggestions.

>>24457788
We're just chilling with a friend on his alien planet right now basically. The shapeshifter dude just turned us into an alien.

>>24457852
fiar point

>>24457779
"I don't think I'll be able to get used to the walking. It's like...pacman, or something."

"I don't think I'll be able to get used to the walking. It's like... pacman, or something."
"Pacman?" Theta asked.
You shrug.
"I much prefer my original body, but this is a pretty fun experience." You say, shifting your weight. It seemed that your legs were the heaviest part of your body- a kick would do a lot of damage. "Maybe change back after we meet your father, Sarvesh?"
"Ugh, no." Sarvesh said. "I was hoping we'd get on our way before he gets here. He's nice and all, but he'll force us to stick around while he tries to set me up. Let's just... try to eat lunch, and then all of us change back. Okay? Everyone fine with that?"
"I'm okay with it." Pheles said.

You turn to Theta and telepath with him. <Oh no, I hope you didn't mistakenly grab one of Summer's hairs off of my shirt, thus turning me into a catgirl like the plot of a bad movie. That would be just awful~>
<Nope!> He said, and held up a small plastic bottle- like one of those ancient, ancient film canisters. <Skin flakes. And I can tell exactly what every bit looks like. I could tell Summer's hairs.>

>>24457844
Sorry, I've dibs.

hmm, I just realized we don't know how to pout at him in this form.

the fiend! He negated our greatest weapon!

>>24457900
<Man take a hint. You gotta give me cat ears and tail for when Anna gets back.>

>>24457912

Motherfucker, I will fight you.

>>24457915

Beam a pout directly into his head.

>>24457900

Is that him thinking really hard at us again?

>>24457900
<Aww.>
"Well phooey."

>>24457900
"Okay, time to find out how centaurs taste."

>>24457915
He was apparently immune to it anyway.

>>24457900

<that's convenient.>

"alright, I'm dying to experience food with this strange mouth!"

don't forget to drink!

>>24457945

Actually, do we need to? Now that we're not in the radiated form?

>>24457960

better safe than sorry.

>>24457928
>No, this time he's actually directly 'speaking' to the voice in his head. He's following through on the connection you established, which nonpsions can do. It's not exactly a conscious thing.

"Okay, time to find out how centaurs taste!"
"I'll be making a ton of centaur food, then. And something for pheles, of course." He said.
You try your best to pout at Theta- and Pheles got a direct blast from it.
"Oh no, what did I do?" She asked. "I'm sorry!" She pulled you into another hug- or, to be more correct, she pulled herself into a hug with you.

<Aww.> You say.
<What, you *want* to become a mutant humancatgirl?> Theta asked. <Because I can do that. You'll just have to make it worth my while. It's less fun if I change people when they want me to change them.>

>>24458001
<Yeah, I figured I'd turn into a humancatgirl to mess around with Anna. I'll give you details of how it goes in return.>

>>24458001
><What, you *want* to become a mutant humancatgirl?> Theta asked. <Because I can do that. You'll just have to make it worth my while. It's less fun if I change people when they want me to change them.>
nah, man I'm just teasing you

>>24458001
<I'll think of something!>

"Sorry, not aimed at you. Pouting is hard in this form."

>>24458001

<was worth a shot.>

"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to! I just can't aim very well in this form."

>>24458001
<Well, not right now.>
"Sorry Pheles, I didn't mean you. How do centaurs pout?"

>>24458001
<How about learning telepathy?>

>The technopathic worm has been decoded entirely. We... *believe* that we can allow a psion to learn new disciplines rather easily, as long as they have a 'teacher' with technopathy as well.
in light of this I suggest that we try to give rho/robin TK, after first consulting the D man on safety.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to!" You say. "Pouting is hard in this form. How do centaurs pout?"
"The same way they smile, and flirt, and everything! Though their eyes."

<How about learning telepathy?> You asked him.
<I don't know how you'd teach me, but if you can, I'll do it.> Theta said.

Soon enough, Sarvesh came by with many less trays on his abdomen than usual, and set out something familiar- the first things he'd ever made for you. You picked it up with a lower arm carfully, and took a bite.

And poked yourself in the roof of the mouth on it, as your toothless jaw smacked down on it. It hurt, and you almost expected your eyes to water... but it seemed that centaur eyes didn't do that. Instead, with your mandibles, you carefully shredded it. It was almost fun to peel apart the layers, and then when it came time to taste-
You realized. Centaurs can hardly ever taste. It was... fun, but not quite delicious or anything.
"Oh my god." Pheles said, cramming a waffle in her mouth. "Thith is so good!"

>>24458066
I think we should give Alex some actual powers beyond being boring first.

>>24458137
>You realized. Centaurs can hardly ever taste. It was... fun, but not quite delicious or anything.
now sarvesh needs some human time

>>24458137
"I have to hand it to taste instead of texture in this round."

>>24458147
He has the best power of us all! Counter Spell

>>24458137
"Oh man, this is fun, but centaurs need tastebuds *so* bad."

>>24458147
giving rho TK should help with our debt to Sarvesh. HE want her to hate him less, and she's like that because she's jealous of his multipowers and ranged teleport.

>>24458191
As long as it's not Telepathy. Rho with Telepathy will take passing thoughts of arousal or 'what if's' as 'consent'.

>>24458137

"it's fun taking it apart but... i feel that i can't appreciate it as much as i should. I'm just too used to tasting."

"It's fun taking it apart, but... I feel that I can't appreciate it as much as I should. I'm just too used to tasting. Centaurs need tastebuds *so* bad."
"You're right, they do. Gimme a sec."
Theta closed his eyes, and focused on Sarvesh and you... and suddenly, you could taste the chocolate and cheese with a depth you didn't understand until now. Sarvesh's eyes widened as he ate, and then he started grabbing sweeter foods, biting them into strips with his mandibles and slowly eating some more waffles.
"... This *is* good!" He said. "This is delicious. I'm a fucking good cook!"

>>24458208
I pick TK because of the character interview we had with her

>>24458223
"Hurrah! That's the spirit!"

>>24458223
yea every one tells you that like all the time...

>>24458223

"Damn, Sarvesh! I think that's the first time I've ever heard you swear."

>>24458255
but with out taste buds he couldn't tell what the fuss was about

>>24458223

"now it feels like i never truly appreciated food before!"

"soooo good!"

>>24458223
Giggle. Or whatever centaurs do for that.
"Yes, you are."

"Damn, Sarvesh!" You say, and giggle "I think that's the first time I've ever heard you swear."
"Exactly." He said. "I saved up my swearing for this very moment." He said, and started stripping more waffles to consume.

Some time later, Pheles was sitting back, eyes closed, in some sort of food coma, while Sarvesh was cleaning up after lunch.
Theta leaned over next to you, and leered at Sarvesh. "Don't you want that sexy lady over there?" He whispered, chuckling. "Want to feel those soft plates rubbing up against your undercarriage, you hear her warble as you please her..."

>>24458223
are these nagala tastebuds?

wait probably not, Jilly can taste chemicals, probably just a different creatue.

>>24458350
"STOP. CEASE."

>>24458350
as fun as that would be I promised Anna.

Just leave it at that. Don't budge an inch.

>>24458350
>Theta leaned over next to you
<not really, as fun as that might be I'd rather keep Anna>

>>24458350
"Curious though I am, I'm taken, remember."

>>24458350
"Yeah, no. Sorry, the plates and undercarriage thing isn't really doing anything for me."

>>24458350
"Maybe if I hadn't promised Anna. But I did, so nope."
And since he's so close to us, let's glomp his head with our tounges.

>>24458350
"I'm sure that would be interesting, but I'm in a relationship already."

>>24458350

take a drink.

"are you suggesting I cheat on Anna? you have a strange sense of humor."

>>24458350
"Poor Sarvesh, I don't think he'd know how to react to that."

>>24458350
"Anna would shoot you, then me. So no."

"As fun as that would be, I promised Anna." You say.
"Ohohoh~" He said. "Would you prefer Anna to be the one rubbing up against your undercarriage, writhing-"
"Stop. Cease!" You call, and he cackled.

"Cease what?" Sarvesh asked.
"Nothing!~" Theta responded.

You take a drink of water, lifting the glass to your mouth and just pouring it down your throat. Not being able to swallow was strange.

"Fine, fine. Who wants to be back to normal?" Theta asked, brushing off his hands. "I'll do you all one at a time this time."
"I think I might feel better if I turned back." Pheles said, raising a hand. "I think I ate too much."
"Alright! declothe!"
Pheles peeled off he clothing (And sarvesh averted his eyes), and then Theta focused, and Pheles became herself again, just a bit smaller than you were.
"You *are* pretty cute like this, you know." Pheles said, leaning close to you. "Handsome, even."
"Me next?" Sarvesh asked. Theta pointed at him, and you saw how large Sarvesh truly was- he dwarfed you and Pheles entirely.

>>24458516
and now me! leave the eyes please though, I like them

>>24458516
Squeak, or eep.
or both, in a strange mutation of sorts.
"My turn, keep the eyes though."

>>24458516

"oooh, intimidating. Quick change me before someone think I'm here for Pheles!"

We should find some IR blocking shades.

>>24458516
"Wow, Sarvesh. You're huge!"

"Wow, Sarvesh. You're huge!"
"I'm the same size I always was." He responded. You turn to Theta again. "My turn. Keep the eyes, though, I like them."
"I'll see if I can finagle them so that they look normal." He said, and focused... and you shrunk down, your carapace turning once again into flesh, your arms fusing together and dwindling. Sarvesh turned and looked directly away once you were human, but Theta didn't feel the need to avert his eyes as you got dressed.
"So, that's that. Sarvesh and Pheles, I kept your tastebuds at almost human level. If you're fine with that."
"Oh, yeah! Definitely." Sarvesh said.
"Sweet. Literally." Pheles added.
"And Heather, I might give you ears and a tail later, if I feel like it." He said, and shrugged. You pulled on the rest of your clothing, the shirt slightly stretched from Pheles wearing it, but you had your omnitool again.

>>24458614
"Cool. What's the plan now?"

>>24458614
"That was certainly an interesting morning."

>>24458614

"where are we off to now?"

"Cool." You say. "What's the plan now?"
"The plan now was to have Nerull show you around the Hii'gara." Sarvesh said. "But then Pheles did her whole bit and he's gone, so he can't show you anything. But what I can do is finish my Mysterious Device and let you all see what it is."
"I know what it is." Omnissiah said.
"Yeah, I know you know." Sarvesh said. "This way."

He led you through some of the clay domes into one with a staircase, downward, underground. Tromping down into the dark, you found a rather large cavern, struts and supports holding it up. Theta and you were looking around- you didn't expect there to be some sort of secret underground workshop to be here...
"This is my room." He said, and you saw the hugest beanbag you'd ever seen in your life, a pinup of a redhaired stripper on one of the walls, gadgets and parts covering a large table along the other end of the wall, and the second-largest trid screen you've ever seen in your life- the first largest being the one in the cinema at Cloud City.

>>24458714
"Beanbag! Strippers! Gadgets! Second largest tridscreen! Hooray!"
Dive into the beanbag

>>24458714
"Sarvesh, this is one killer pad. You know how to furnish a place."

>>24458714

...so this is what a Centaur bachelor pad looks like...

>>24458714
Stare at the poster, "Red hair, huh?"

"Sarvesh, this is one killer pad." You say. "You know how to furnish a place."
"Red hair, huh?" You ask.
"Yep." Sarvesh said.
"The last one had blue hair." Pheles said. "He has a collection of them hidden somewhere."
"Yeah." Theta said, eying the pinup, who was wearing a thong and covering her breasts with her hands. "Classy."

Pheles and you whumphed down onto the beanbag at the same time- it was so large that Sarvesh could even fit in it comfortably, and you lay there watching him. He had Omnissiah's drones fly out to get something from Surya, and brought in a strange, large device utilizing part of the demiurg bubble drive. He plugged a few things in, connected in a gadget...
"Omnissiah, how's the programming coming?"
"It's done." He responded.

"Good." Sarvesh said, and grabbed the device in all four hands. "Everyone, stand behind me."
He lifted up the device, and pulled the trigger... and the bubble drive components started firing dark particles... and you saw light bend into a sphere, not far from the front of the device. The 'heart' of the sphere was pure, utter black.
"Haha!" He called. "It worked! Throw something at it!"
Pheles tossed a screwdriver at it. It flew back at her at *exactly* the same speed. Sarvesh cackled.

>>24458818
Squee.

>>24458818

Holy shit, a kinetic inverter?! Sarvesh, you're the best!

>>24458818

what has science done?

"you figured out how to mechanize my ability? cool!"

>>24458818
>Resist urge to poke it with TK.
"Awesome! Got any tests lined up for it?"

>>24458818
"Holy shit, you've built a force field!"

"Hmm, I've got a devious idea now. How much do little drives like that cost, and what did you need to turn it into that?"

>>24458853
No, read it again.

>>24458818
deflector shields go

>>24458818
"How? How?!? We need to make more! and mount them as point defence on Surya!"

>>24458857
>>Resist urge to poke it with TK.
fail to resist urge to poke it with tk

>>24458818
>Lick the Dark Matter.

>>24458818
OH FUCKING GOD!!! GET IT INSTALLED ON THE SHIP!!!

"Holy shit, a kinetic inverter?!" You ask. "Sarvesh, you're the best!"
"That's what I thought too!"
"Awesome! Got any tests lined up for it?"
"Poke it with TK." Sarvesh said. "Shoot at it. See if we can widen the sphere and make it defract instead of reflect..."
"That last bit is entirely possible." Omnissiah said. "Hit that switch."
Sarvesh hit the switch, and the bubble drive plating wheeled back slightly- and the sphere turned into a disc, whirling clockwise. Pheles threw something else at it, and it went shooting off sideways.
"Holy shit, you've built a force field!"
"Even more." Sarvesh said. "It works with *light*."

You reach out to poke it with TK... and you don't feel anything as you do. You simply reach into it- and touch the wall to the side of the room, rather than the front end of the device itself. It'd ... turned your telekineis sideways.
"How? How?!?" You ask. "We need to make more! And mount them as point defense on Surya!"
"Here's the blueprints." Sarvesh said, and you took a look at it- it was pretty simple in theory- to throw enough particles with just enough charge to slightly condense space, and then send more particles to whirl around it at speed, bending it into a sphere. But... the complexity of the programming required...
And then your retrocog kicked in.
>"I will test how well I can do with full access to the Extranet." Omnissiah responded.

You open your eyes to look at Omnissiah.
"... I maaaay have had a little help from Omni." Sarvesh said.

>>24458967
Raise eyebrow.
"Only a little?"

>>24458967
Squee, hug them both.
The magnificent bastards they are.
"You magnificent bastards you!"

>>24458967
"Omnissiah, you are an inventors best friend. You *need* to get some patents going."

"Can it form the sphere anywhere? If I wanted a forcefield on Surya, how many would I need?"

>>24458967
"Group hug!"

>>24458967
"I think I just found out what to do with the other 53% of Helios' energy output..."

>>24458967
"Should we...fire the ion laser at it?"

>>24459025
not inside atleast.

You squee, and tug Sarvesh and Omnissiah into a hug. "You magnificent bastards, you!" You cry. "Can it form the sphere anywhere? If I wanted a forcefield on Surya, how many would I need?"
"The sphere is limited to either seven point five inches from the front end of the device, and at maximum width and deflection, the only range possible is twenty eight point two inches." Omnissiah said. "To cover Surya entirely with the sphere function, you would need... more than could fit. To cover surya with the disc function, you would need... three hundred and seven of them."
"Should we... fire the ion laser at it?"
"No." Sarvesh said. "It'd either slam back into it's own beam and explode, or it'd deflect sideways and melt my wall. The math holds up."
"As much as you could understand." Omnissiah responded.
"Yes, as much as I could understand."

>>24459054
Well, we needed something to do with all dat cash anyways.

>>24458967
if we could make a spherical field then I'd finally be able to make that crystal for Newt

>>24459054
Giggle
"How's the energy drain?"

>>24459054
"What about with a bigger drive core? We've got a beefy fusion engine in Surya, so it can handle the extra power draw."

"Hmm, if we mount one in a hardened turret, could you write tracking and interception programming Omni? We'd need a lot less of them that way."

>>24459054
>"The sphere is limited to either seven point five inches from the front end of the device, and at maximum width and deflection, the only range possible is twenty eight point two inches." Omnissiah said. "To cover Surya entirely with the sphere function, you would need... more than could fit. To cover surya with the disc function, you would need... three hundred and seven of them."
any way to increase the range, or decrease the device's size?

>>24459054
"What happens if the sphere move into matter? It could make an awesome battering ram."

"How's the energy drain?"
"As much as running a standard bubble drive on power saving mode." Omnissiah responded. "Not significantly. It would, however, take most of the power in Surya's engine if you intended to plant all three hundred and seven devices on the hull. Your remaining power for life support would take the remainder."
"Any way to increase the range, or decrease the device's size?" You ask.
"No." He responded.
"Even with a bigger drive core?"
"Even with. It's an unavoidable limitation."
"Hmm, if we mount one in a hardened turret, could you write tracking and interception programming Omni? We'd need a lot less of them that way."
"I could, but UPA bylaw prohibits turrets, as well as any other space-born weapon for those not authorized."
"What happens if the sphere moves into matter? It could make an awesome battering ram." You say.

Theta just watched, as Sarvesh moved the sphere into the table- and the table tore itself to shreds, sparks flying from the metal flechettes, lethal slivers as thin and as long as hairs shooting every direction. You catch them all with your TK as Sarvesh hastened to turn the device off.

>awesome battering ram."
you mean power fist, for some power armour

>>24459180
"Wow."

>>24459180
"Not a shooty turret, a shieldy turret silly."

>>24459180
"AWESOME."

"So what were you planning on using it for, Sarvesh?"

>>24459180
>>24459184

>Theta just watched, as Sarvesh moved the sphere into the table- and the table tore itself to shreds, sparks flying from the metal flechettes, lethal slivers as thin and as long as hairs shooting every direction. You catch them all with your TK as Sarvesh hastened to turn the device off.
definitely a power armour device
combo storm shield power fist

>>24459211
The law probably doesn't bother with the distinction, seeing as shieldy turrets have never existed before.

>>24459180

Yeah, what this guy said:
>>24459184

>>24459180
"Oh. That sucks. I guess no ship forcefields then."

>>24459184
... Why don't we have a suit of power armor yet?
With radiation shielding, also noface helmet.

>>24459180
Man, the UPA is full nofun when it comes to spaceships.

>>24459267
Well, we could, but it would basically be an oh shit switch to trap us within the confines of our ship until danger passes.

>>24459238
Fuck law, we're pirates, bitch.
Also, just make them deployable, so that when not in use they're inside the ship.

>>24459304
with this I might not need to worry about someone destabalizing my energy crystals. Just set up a room with a power source to deflect any TK from outside.

Sarvesh and Omni, solving problems from before they existed.

"Oh, that sucks. I guess that means no ship forcefields, then."
"I could likely make you as many as you wish, with significant amounts of money." Omnissiah said. "Now that I've seen Sarvesh make it, I can recreate it much more quickly and possibly more miniaturized. I would also purchase a full complement of maintenance drones with which to build them."

"That is so cool!" Pheles said, hopping on her four legs excitingly. After trying to walk as a centaur, you're stunned by this impromptu display of incredible alien acrobatics.

>>24459180
"...If we mounted them on Surya's drones, could we use them as point defense drones? Have them fly around the ship with the fields online and soak up incoming whatever."

lets make enough to cover a room. No more outside interference by unknown telekenetics!

>>24459386
ooo now thats thinking with drones

>>24459386
like defense drones from FTL

>>24459399
I've Cave Johnson, now your thinking with force fields

>>24459345
"I'm sure you could make loads of money selling these to the UPA. Or at least selling the license."

>>24459345
"You're sure the diameter of the discs are limited? Five hundred years ago, they said the speed of light was an absolute limit too."

>>24459345
"May I talk to it?"

If yes, <Hello. I'm Heather.>

>>24459420
well we know teleportation is possible... I wonder if we can build a portal device.

>>24459442
and now it will act like a parrot mimicing everything we say

>>24459442
It wants to be friendly but all it knows is how to push people away ;_;

"... If we mounted them on Surya's drones, could we use them as point defense drones? Have them fly around the ship with the fields online and soak up incoming whatever."
"No. The maintenance drones do not have enough power generation to sustain the devices." Omnissiah said.
"You're sure the diameter of the discs are limited? Five hundred years ago, they said the speed of light was an absolute limit too."
"Speed of light *is* an absolute limit." Omnissiah said. "We simply use a loophole to travel faster. I am relatively certain, but not entirely certain."

"May I talk to it?" You ask.
"Go ahead."
<Hello, I'm Heather.>
<Positioning three point two degrees left of solar object twelve gravitometer Hello Heather current rate of rotation of parent body is three hundred twelve units a second while current rotation of parents body's solar object is twelve point two point one. Current weight is 1.2 terran gravities and current approxomate location is negative eleven point twelve longitude->
You pull your mind out of the device for a bit, utterly confused. It was a mishmash of numbers and thought- unable to spare much of anything to speak to you.

>>24459386
>"...If we mounted them on Surya's drones,
still illegal, we're better off with >>24459184
power armour

its very focused on the position of things. Makes sense I guess.

>>24459184
>>24459237
I like this idea, but it also need rad shields.

they would make deadly missiles, power source, thruster, and emmiter.

>>24459517
"Eh, the size of the effect kinda limits it a bit. What do you plan on using it for?"

>>24459594
that would be expensive and wasteful. with power armour it would be both shield and power fists

>>24459614
governments have often not cared about expense when it comes to weapons.

>>24459614
I agree, but it would be more of a last ditch thing if you had to use one.

>>24459632
we're not the governmentyet

>>24459655
Why be the government when you can be King?

>>24459521
But I'm sure the UPA would be at least interested in the concept, and possible funding for ppossible application. I mean hell, they can't steal anything from us, cause well.........NOTMAGIC

if omni\sarvesh does sell the plans for the device I'm sure the UPA will not hesitate to develop them.

>>24459680
Why sell them to UPA?
Other than money, because we can get that from anywhere

"It's very focused on the position of things. Makes sense."
"It needs a lot of information about surrounding gravity and momentum and such in order to function properly." Omnissiah said.
"Eh, the size of the effect kinda limits it a bit." you say. "What do you plan on using it for?"
Sarvesh shrugged. "See if I could."
"And now you can license it! Make *bank*!" Pheles said.
"Nah, if anyone patents or licenses it, that's all Omnissiah." He said. "I was just the hands and a sounding board. He's really the one that invented it."

Theta, in the beanbag, was asleep by now.

>>24459680
true, but that wasn't happened yet leaving us with a tech advantage.
>>24459677
>Why be the government when you can be King?
the king is government

>>24459705
"Well, if you think of any way to get a decent coverage on Surya, feel free to order the parts, Omni!"

>>24459705
"Guess he's all tired out after all the shapeshifting."

Honestly I think he should. Not just for the money but allowing this to go out in the field for the different applications. Personal defense and weaponry is just one of them.

"Well, if you think of any way to get a decent coverage on Surya, feel free to order the parts, Omni!" You say.
"I may." He responded.

You look down to the sleeping Theta. "Guess he's all tired out after all the shapeshifting."
"Yeah..." Sarvesh said, and rolled his shoulders. "We should probably better go, though. Dad heard I'm here, so he's probably bringing women to try and set me up with one or two."
"They're always sweet on you, though!" Pheles said.
"But... I'm not interested in centaur women. You know that. He knows that. He's trying to 'cure' me or whatever, and that's not something I'm okay with." Sarvesh said. "Mostly since it's his way of rejecting who I am."

>>24459807
"Will we be able to sneak by, or will we have to initiate a tactical teleport withdrawal?"

... have you talked to him about it? Since it sounds like his actions have been driving you two apart.

>>24459807
"Woah hold on I just had a great idea. How small can you make the kinetic repulsors? I'm thinking we use them instead of the magnets in the ion laser!"

>>24459891
I.....sir, you just put the ion lazer from a 11, to 12......

>>24459891
If the drones don't have enough space/power for one how are you going to put several in the barrel of a single gun?

"Have you talked to him about it?"
"I have, but he still does it." Sarvesh said.
"Will we be able to sneak by, or will we have to initiate a tactical teleport withdrawal?"
"We just need to go now, rather than when he gets back."
"Aww." Pheles said, frowning. She gave you and Sarvesh a hug with each pair of arms. "I'll miss you two."
"How small can you make the kinetic repulsors?" You ask Omnissiah. "I'm thinking we use them instead of the magnets in the ion laser!"
"Not small enough. Not to mention, changing the size of the device would require me redesigning the entire thing from the ground up again."

>>24459941
Or make a cannon for the ship.....

>>24459807
what about mounting one on some power armor

>>24459960
.... ooooo

>>24459952
"Ah well, we've got the idea now. Save it for a rainy day, I suppose."

>>24459960
8/10 good application.

UPA no spaceguns though.

>>24459968
wouldn't need to change its size, and mount that bitch on the front, using Helios to charge that bad boy

>>24459952
Poor Sarvesh, we need to find a human girl for him.

I wonder how Ellie feels about Crabcake.

>>24459952
>exabyte's trip
and here I thought you make it this time

>>24459965
Did you miss the bit where it shot out metal needles.

>>24459968
Except we aren't allowed to build ship based weapons.

>>24459982
Make it retractable to hide it possibly? No one would know......until you blasted a hole thru the hull of their ship

>>24459952
>>24459995
>So did I! Damnit!

Man this quickly turned into design weapons with the new tech.

>>24459952
"What about mounting it on Anna's exosuit? Would that work as a super battering ram?"

>>24459996
power armour, power fist? storm shield.
the armour would protect against the shrapnel. the field would be projected from the gauntlets on the armour.

>>24459952
"Don't worry Pheles, I'll come visit again soon, or you could come to the station again!"

>>24459952
"We can come visit whenever you want, Pheles! We've got my ship now!"

>>24459996
Itty bitty needles tend to do jack shit to armor.

>>24459952
Shit, let's just ask Max if we can have clearance for turrets but not weapons. We'd at least be able to get shield CIWS that way.

>>24460071
I like this

>>24459996
>Did you miss the bit where it shot out metal needles.
nope that just shows that it can be weaponized. the field rips and tears through enemies, deflects projectiles, and the armour stops the metal splinters from harming us.

>>24460071
If I remember correctly, Max said that after all this is over and done with, we could get any government job we wanted. Start working in R&D, and see what kinda of shinnagans we can get into with a ship mounted Ion Cannon

specialized, fast response drones would also work, and better yet they aren't prohibited

>>24459952
"I could always fight them off for you, TK is a wonderful thing....or is that how centaur customs work?"

>>24460071
OR

OR

OR we Could add Outlaw star style grappler arms, write them off as "maintenance equipment" and just mount the shields on those!

>>24460106
While we could get into R&D, I doubt they'd be hiring us for our technical skills. We keep skipping all our classes to play with things.

You fire off a message to Max, <Max, would it be possible to get clearance for my ship to have a turret without an attached weapon for a directional shield?>
You gently carry Theta with your telekinesis back to the Surya, Pheles and Sarvesh in tow.

"I could always fight them off for you, TK is a wonderful thing...or is that not how centaur customs work?" You ask.
"Erm...you could I suppose." Sarvesh mumbled, and Pheles laughed. "That would imply that you were trying to take him for yourself though. Wait, are you?" she asked.

>>24460134
Isn't that what R&D is? making things then using them? We'd be ever so great at it!

>>24460125
>R we Could add Outlaw star style grappler arms, write them off as "maintenance equipment" and just mount the shields on those!
yes love that idea

"Ah well, we've got the idea now." You say. "Save it for rainy days."
"Yes, we do. I'll think about it when I'm out of things to do." Omnissiah said.
"We can come visit whenever you want, Pheles. We've got my ship now!"
"Right, you do!" She said. "I'll make you drag me along next time you go to your homeworld, okay?"
"And don't worry Pheles, I'll come visit again soon. Or you could come to the station again!"
"Okay!" She said, and gave you another hug. Sarvesh put Theta on his back, and all four of you stepped out into the open sky.

Surya was repaired, the maintenance drones did their job well, and even refastened the plating properly. You run a quick diagnostics, and everything seems perfectly fine.
"Love you, Pheles."
"I love you too, Sarvy! Be careful!"
"I will!" He said, and dumped Theta into one of the beds. Omnissiah floated into the cockpit, and your lungs felt a bit better after you turned on the life support.
"Are we ready to go?" Sarvesh asked. "Think you can lift off fine?"
"I've redownloaded the atmospheric data." Omnissiah said. "It should be easy."

>>24460134
Also that implies that we'll be playing Heather until she graduates and gets a job.

>>24460134
But our brand of R&D involves haphazardly slamming technology together to produce dangerous shit.

>>24460143
Exa?

>>24460147
sure, up is easier then down anyway, nothing to crash into, like the ground.

>>24460143
>This is NOT me.I should mention.

>>24460147
"You know what, Omni? You go ahead and fly it. You did a lot of the work on it and a lot of the programming, so I'd be honored to let you pilot it if you want to."

>>24460147
<Hello Surya, are we feeling better?>

>>24460032
/tg/ loves engineering, apparently.

>>24460147
Apologise to the ship, ask Omni if he wants to fly

>>24460143
Hey

Hey, you

Don't be a dick.

>>24460202
more accurately we love weapons

>>24460234
more accurately, we love BIG destructive weapons!

<Hello, Surya, are we feeling better?> you ask. The voices chiming in gave you an affirmative, and you sat down in the pilot's chair...
And look over to Omni.

"You know what, Omni? You go ahead and fly it." You say. "You did a lot of the work on it, and a lot of the programming, so I'd be honored to let you pilot it if you want to."
"... I'm glad." Omnissiah said, and the dock retracted slightly into the ground, clasps pinning him in. The camera winked out, and the voices piping up at you.. quieted. Then stopped.

<Systems operational.> Omnissiah's new temporary shell said. <Liftoff in three. Two. One.>

The ship rumbled, and you were jerked back in your seat as you blasted off toward the sky. It was hardly any time before you were out of the atmosphere and then in orbit, and one of the ship cameras turned to you.
"Would you like me to send us back to the station as well?" The intercom asked in Omni's voice.

>>24460286
Yes please.

<Tell me about the last time you were in Surya's systems..
<What did you learn about yourself?>

>>24460152
The only thing that we've actually put any design into is the plasma lance, and that's only dangerous if the chamber is punctured/depressurised while the crystal is charged.

Though it *is* pretty dangerous in that specific scenario. Might vaporise everything in a few dozen meters. If it's overcharged, on the other hand...

>>24460286
Then again......putting a Ion Cannon on a ship that has a AI that could possibly go insane......might not be such a great idea.

>>24460286
yes please, then discuss to possibility of mounting the deflector on a power armour gauntlet as a combo shield weapon

>>24460286
We're going to clock a hundred hours in a simulator when we get back to the station. We will be a real pilot this time next week.

"Yes please." You say, and the bubble drive flicked on.

<Tell me about the last time you were in Surya's systems.> You say. <What did you learn about yourself?>
<I learned that I'm very unstable in that situation.> He said. <I've created software around my mind to limit myself in those sorts of computers, to be deactivated in the case of dire emergency.> He said. <I'm very unstable in general, I've also learned. Perhaps Anna was right.>

>>24460354
<What did Anna say to you? You looked really worried when you came back in.>

The self destruct option? No. We don't kill insane people. We try to help them. Its only when we can't stop them from hurting others do we even consider killing them.

>>24460354

>Psion Quest by exabyte
>No Bears

<What did Anna say to you? You looked really worried when you came back in.>
<It was what she thought at the time, when she connected me. That I am a danger to you, to her, and to Sarvesh.> He said. <Due to my relative instability, my lack of structured programming, and similar.>
It was quiet for a moment.
<You are all my friends, the three of you. I do not want to be a danger.>
<And the self destruct option?>
<No, I misspoke. The limiting software is what is deactivated, and only at times when intelligence past the klimeck limit is required. Not myself.>

>>24460410
Relax, we have a Grayson.
And a Clone of Kaliel.

>>24460410
There was a bear in one of his other quests, and it seems like he's been trying to avoid repeating stuff like that.

>>24460410
Is anyone even named Grayson yet? I think Damien's dad was?

>>24460428
<Good. I'd rather not have you self destructing.>

>>24460438
>Summer's full name is Summer K(something) Grayson. Her father is named Laurent Grayson.
>She's also oversized and very very fuzzy.

>>24460428
<Thank you, Omni. Can I ask what you mean by lack of structured programming though? Maybe you coukd rewrite yourself in a format that was just as efficient but more stable.>

>>24460433
>avoid repeating stuff like that.
>Recycles ALL the names
It's why I love him.

>>24460428
<Good, I don't want you to die. You're my friend.>
>>24460438
Summer is. And her father.

>>24460428
Being able to look at yourself and see one's flaws is a key step to development.
You're a good man/construct at heart, Nissa.

>>24460428
<People are unstable. If we weren't, we'd be boring.

Just one of the quirks of being sentient I suppose.>

>>24460432
>And a Clone of Kaliel.
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about Rho already.

>>24460471
this

<People are unstable. If we weren't, we'd be boring.> you say. <Just one of the quirks of being sentient, I suppose.>
<Perhaps, but... > He said. <But I still care for my friends more than myself.>
<I'd rather not have you self destructing.> You say. I don't want you to die. You're my friend.>
Omnissiah was quiet.
<Once we're finished flying, I will give you a hug.> He said.

Some time later, Omnissiah pulled out of bubble drive, and you saw the station. The enormous liner that the councilors all took was still there, as was... Wyvern, also connected to the hub. Strange, it seemed Renard was off...

"We're almost there." Omnissiah said.
"Really? Glad to hear it." Theta said. "Because I should be able to wake Lambda up in a few days. Maybe even tomorrow, if I really work at it."
Sarvesh just stretched, raising his arms as high as they would go. "I want to go make more things."

>>24460515
"We should start a research and development firm."

>>24460515
>as was... Wyvern, also connected to the hub. Strange, it seemed Renard was off...
Ah crap...

quick scan for Anna, just to make sure she is alright.

>>24460515
Well, let's dock.

>>24460515
<Anna, you're back?>

>>24460515
<Did you find the diary in the end?>

Let's not get paranoid and jump to conclusions. Trust is important.

also hug Omni

>>24460560
last time someone's drone was off, they were under attack by mind-controlled rioters, directed by the Void Queen. I think we have a right to be worried

>>24460515
Trouble brewin'

>>24460515
"I'm worried about Anna. You guys do whatever, I'll see you later."

"We should start a research and development firm." You tell him.
"No, no, I meant food." Sarvesh said, and chuckled. "Now that I can taste, I need to taste as much as I can."

You eye Wyvern, and close your eyes, focusing for Anna- and you catch a ping in her room, in the dorms. You weren't quite able to reach her with technopathy or telepathy from this far without Renard and Einstein's help, though.

The ship slid into the hangar, and carefully eased down... and then Omnissiah's dock lifted again, and his drone popped out. Then you gave him a hug as he gave you one.

<Anna, you're back?> You ask, finally able to reach her.
<... I came back a day early.> She said, quietly. She sounded... guilty. <... We should.. we should probably talk about how I'm a horrible person now. Could you come to my room?>

>>24460593
Oh boy, here we go.

<...Okay.>

>>24460593
<Yea, on the way now.>

>>24460593
<A... Anna?>

<I'll be right there.>

"Sorry boys, gotta fly."

>>24460593
Heather dun got NTR'd.

>>24460593
"uh oh, my anna senses are tingling...I'll meet you guys later"

<I'm on my way>

>>24460615
Hopefully it's not that bad, but if it is, and people instantly forgive her I shall be most disappointed in them.

Why would Anna even talk to Hound? Something's not right.

<A... Anna?> You ask. <I'll be right there.>

"Sorry boys, gotta fly." You say.

You climbed out of Surya, and made your way through the dorms. You finally made it to Anna's room, and make your way inside.
She stared at the floor.

"... I thought they would've left by the time I got here, but.. well... I... I slept with Kiernan." She said, still quietly. She looked... small.
"I'm a fucking hypocrite."

>>24460593
>Anna fucked that dude.
I knew we shoulda dun' picked Damien.

>>24460637
Don't say anything, just storm out and go to our workshop.

I saw this coming a mile away and wrote up some proposed conditions for player review and critique:

Anna is allowed to sleep around under the following conditions:
1.) She informs Heather beforehand, and Heather has veto power.
2.) She shares the memories of it if Heather so desires.
3.) Heather is allowed to sleep with others under the same conditions.

>>24460637
be hurt.
"...why?"

>>24460593
Looks like out TK is going to be "practiced" on a Hound.

>>24460637
Welp, turn around and walk out.

Fucks sake Anna. Heather's gone one day and you shack up with your ex.

>>24460651
This, make sure to technopathically slam the door on our way out.

>>24460651
Fuck the workshop, isolation chamber.

>>24460637
shocked silence
"...but I thought you hated that guy..."

>>24460651
No, fuck that. We need to go find hound and break a few of his ribs.

>>24460631
She clearly still had feelings for him, otherwise she wouldn't have felt the need to avoid him so much.

>>24460665
honestly I want to talk it out... but isolation chamber, she can find us too easily in the workshop if she decides to chase us.

>>24460651
Say on thing when we leave. "Fuck you, Anna." then leave.

>>24460677
We'll get him later.

>>24460677
Can't really blame Hound I'm sad to say, he probably didn't even know we were seeing Anna.

>>24460615
Would make more sense if he was just run-of-the-mill ex and not I-want-to-kill-him, murderous asshole ex

>>24460637
"What? Why?"

>>24460637
"Okay, well. No thanks."

Guys, before we just automatically flip our shit and storm out - can we find out WHY Anna did this?

>>24460690
Nah, let's just leave. No need to say anything.

>>24460637
"One day, I'm gone one day, and this. I don't want to have to look at you right now."

Then we leave.

>>24460688
Fuck you man, we're not gonna be a cuckold that talks shit out after a SO cheats.

>>24460668
This.

>>24460637
"But you said you wanted to kill him last we spoke. Honestly more confused than anything here."

>>24460700
She can explain herself later. Or with telepathy.

>>24460711
No, we're not confused. We're angry. You don't forgive this shit.

>>24460637
"Anna, hypocritical would be trying to hide it from me." Give her a hug. "Why DID you decide to sleep with him again?"

>>24460658
>>24460698
>>24460690
You lot are douches.

>>24460708
This. Anna cheated on us, no reason to go easy on her right now.

>>24460708
I don't think that's really applicable to this situation. And besides, if we're really upset, we can go take it out of Hound's hide.

>>24460637
"WHAT THE FUCK ANNA."

Storm out, LOCK her door so hard they need sigma to get her out.

Blacklist her from the ice cream machine.

No tears.

>>24460720
and you're a doormat.
