And it's still mostly the same as the wip I posted to twitter. Just some small changes and fixes, minor shading I suck ass at shading and some other small thing I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Not sure if I want to keep the scratchy eye lines. It doesn't look quite right, but when I removed them it looked even more wrong.

Also the mask is kinda fucked up on the (anatomical) left side, but I'm not sure if I should fix it or not because it almost-sorta makes a neat illusion of the face looking to the side even though it's looking straight ahead. Would be easy to fix if I wanted to, though.

And I really should fix the bottom-y bits of hair. Looks awful.

But, anyway, anyone else have suggestions for what to do to it?

You are Risa Schrödinger, most times going by Schrödinger unless QM is feeling lazy. You died and haunted an arbies in the 1980s, which is weird because I don't think arby'[s was around back then, specifically you suicided because you did everything in life and got really bored so decided the afterlife would be more fun. Then being a ghost sucked so you ripped out your soul chain and became a hollow.

You got the munchies so you ate some souls and met a plant hollow, which was weird because who becomes a potted plant after becoming a soul eating monster? Seriously? Anyway the plant and you were killed when you tried to rule of cool a lieutenant level shinigami and had pretty average/bad rolls.

He thought you were not funky and ripped away have your body with his magic horn sword and then a natural one on trying to escape in when a ton of them were converging on you again meant you died. Undied. What ever. So then the plant rewinds time for you, losing itself forever in the process, and you decide on a new goal. Destroy the shinigami and get your plant back. You go on a murderhobo spree and eventually get the attention of a squad of shinigami who hunt for you. You manage to get an army of hollows to follow you from Hueco Mundo and waged a war against them.

Then you became a Menos Grande and were really tall and got a laser so that was all kinds of cool. Oh, and at some point while a hollow you infected a spiritually strong kid with your hollow energy or soul or what ever we are calling it. I call it go juice, but that sounds sort of dirty.

Anyway, after you be tall for a while you meet a guy we are 95% certain is Lucifer Morningstar, He says in order to kill all shinigami forever, to remove them from reality, we have to kill order itself in the form of the Soul King, more on him later.

The first part of the plan is to take over Hueco Mundo so we go on the grind. We eat and eat and eat then meet a wolf named Jager and a spider named Charlotte.
(1/?)

Chafrlotte has a rebel army going on and we sort of are into that so we take over because it seemed cool. We om nom some more. Then we sneak into the king off Hueco Mundo's palace. Not the Soul king, the hollow king, totally different duded. Both dick butts though. While there we meet the General of Misery, Quesufre Sin-Fin. She is sort of cool but we got her tortured because we were stupid in front of the king and he didn't think it was funny. Also she is an arrancar, so that's a thing.

We then go back and om nom some more king's patrols then a general ambushes us. We manage to kill him but lose charlotte. After fighting with Jager, with a thingy over the a, over the meal we eat it and become a vasto and discover we are female. Also possibly British but we don't know for sure. Would explain our references to doctor who and Thatcher though. Still doesn't explain why we are in japan.

Anywho, we then rip off our mask, effectively triple suiciding and become an arrancar too since that was the end of our evolution. There was some discussion and QM gave 4x the xp originally planned so we level our abilities.

That takes a few weeks, so we then talk to the devil some more and he explains the Soul King is actually a Great Old One type thing, and is eating the purified souls because that's what they do. Angels can't get into japan to stop him because great old ones are like God level and it would crack the planet in half so they can only work to contain it.

We go back to the cave and power level Jager, discover they can't become a Vasto Lorde(We think) and have them rip their masks off. She is also a chick, so that's cool we guess. Then we test out our powers, discover our Pandora Cero is hax and then attack the hollow king's palace of Los Noches.

We team up with the general of terror and attack the Hollow King, discovering he was an arrancar as well, and had his own version of fatebreaker, which we are slightly concerned about.
(2/?)

We kill both the king and the general but nearly wipe out our reserves of go juice doing so when then explain to Jager we seek to kill order because why not? Then we sing and dance with her, then give her the throne.

After a while in which the palace is rebuilt we talk to lucifer again who tells us to train the boy we infected with our crazy sauce. S man is down with this and gets a fake body for interacting with humans and then goes to the real world.

We scope out a high school and find several spiritually aware people there, and manage to discover the boys name and all that. We decide to be a physics and art teacher, then make the current teachers come down with a sudden case of sick.

The reason for this is one of the soul king's "rules" is a living soul can not enter soul society, it is against his balance. Well, we know damn right what we are going to do then, aye? We are currently standing in front of a physics class about to try and teach seriously unless I get bored. I being the meta aware voice in the S man's head. Also we plan on making a drama club but that probably isn't going to work out too well. Make a cultural club of some sort which we can use to train the spiritually aware kids. Also some talk about living and fixing up an old shrine. Could be sweet digs

Also we can command lesser hollows, so that might be useful while outside Hueco Mundo.

Questions other voices in the bosses head? Ask away.

(3/3)

Will it ever be possible to get more xp, or are we locked down now?

Honest question: are you intentionally cribbing designs from the series? Sin-fin sounds a lot like Ulquiorra (but female), and Jaeger's look and sword is Kensei Muguruma (but female), while her powers and Hollow form (and name) are very Grimmjow Jagerjacques.
If you're going to the trouble of saying "this is an AU, none of the characters you're familiar with", then at least use designs not from the main series.
That being said, I love this quest to death, especially the Gillians' only feature and focus as being very tall.

>>25454554
Whats our breast size
this is mostly a joke, mostly

>>25454306
Azure, did you draw this and just forget your trip for the post?

>>25454306
That's fucking creepy as shit, please repost it everytime someone says that Hollow quest is heading straight to waifufaggotry.

>>25454600
>Whats our breast size

We have all the breast sizes.

>>25454567
You will get more xp, just slower. You are already an engine of pure destruction. This stage is more focused on improving stats. It will happen.
>>25454599
Sin-Fin was because people really wanted an Ulq character so I added her in. Jager was based slightly off haruko and an ork going "More dakka MORE DAKKA!" So Sin-fin intentional, Jager not. I will try and distance them both more.

I don't recall Grimmjow being "more dakka and angry all the time" though.
>>25454600
It's- heywhatareyoudoingstopthat!

We are slender. That's about all I should answer.
>>25454623
Nope, some one else drew it. I can only draw hippos. It's a whole thing, don't even worry about it

>>25454623
I drew it.

>>25454166
>running so soon after a 24h+ marathon

Jesus.

>>25454700
It's been a day or two. Plenty of time. Though if the quest is boring for me to run then I will take a week off in order to think about the direction I want to go in and change things up.

Made some characters today though so it should be good.

If there are no more questions, proceed to questin'?

>>25454744
You're running the quest today?

>>25454554
Is hollow Stalin still around or did he die?

The band on the stapled together shirt is decided on.

It's the Sex Pistols

>>25454772
Cuz I am putting the notes together. Won't be ready for another half hour to an hour, and I am still puttering about.
>>25454775
Yes, I planned on it

>>25454795
Pls don't include real-life figures as Hollows. Or we'll have people wanting to collect them all like it's pokemon

>>25454795
I'm not sure yet. Anon seemed pretty uninterested so I abandoned that line of thinking. May re-include him later after we take care of Japan.

>>25454810

how much did you flesh out the Terror general and the former Hollow king?

>>25454810
>The band on the stapled together shirt is decided on.
>
>It's the Sex Pistols

You know, I imagined that the writings would constantly change.

>>25454831
>Implying Visard Stalin and Angel Nixon isn't 100% canon

>>25454835
Because you said going after prominent figures = roflstomped.

>>25454831
It was more supposed to be a funny cameo type thing but if people are that against it it's not hard to just scribble out.

>>25454842
King a fair amount, but a lot of it I couldn't use after seeing the direction the threads were going so it was dropped.

Terror a bit but he was in the way, so whoop!
>>25454846
You have something against the Sex Pistols anon?
>>25454859
Yes, going after prominent human beings is probably a bad idea. The contexts are a bit different.

So was the General of Terror the "King of Rot" that Charlotte was talking about?

Because decay didn't really seem to be a motif of Caesar guy.

>>25454923
Can you tell us about the king? Or are you planning on recycling parts of his backstory and such?

Did Schrodinger just happen to be carrying those clothes in her subspace inventory?

Or... did Lucifer dress us?

>>25454923

just how strong are we compared to the shinigami we fought a long time ago and what are the chances we'll get recognized by them?
(I'm not sure how many of the nofunigami we encountered are even around anymore.)

>>25454923
>You have something against the Sex Pistols anon?

Not really. I just thought that due to the nature of MC, the graphics on the shirt wouldn't be constant.

I'm not happy with the slutty look though. Should have gone with tasteful dress or something. Who decided on the clothes anyway?

>>25455041
Classic British Punk is slutty?

>>25455041
>Who decided on the clothes anyway?

The Devil.

>>25455041
>Who decided on the clothes anyway?
I'd guess our choices during the character creation questions.

>>25454960
No, that would have come in with the things I threw out. For now just assume it was a useful rhyme to use at the time.
>>25454979
I plan on using most of the things I had planned elsewhere. A few things I can include. The silvering dagger things? Not part of his body or power. Neither was his armor made by Hollows.

His back story was he was very old and was good at using his shinigami master to get what he wanted. He had ruled for the express purpose of removing a tyrant and ended up a tyrant himself.

Anything in particular you wanted to know about?
>>25455023
Best not to think too much on it. We can just say the clothes came from the same place as the shortbread to make things easier. That's what the MC is going to think because otherwise the conversations with Lucifer will get sort of weird.
>>25455030
You could curb stomp the LT and the squad who was after you before even without awakening. Also, none of them would remember you as time slipped you back into place. They don't even know who you are, let alone the fact you fought before. Only you remember.

>>25455041
She is wearing pants and her shirt is still together. It is classic british punk, I would hardly call it slutty.

>>25455069
>character creation questions.

Oh yeah, I remember that Azure said that he might post his notes on a summary thread on what each option changed on the character.

>>25455088
Did we manage to completely obliterate those daggers and his armor with our Pandora Cero?

>>25455062
Yes.

Although I'm pretty conservative about clothing. Women wearing pants = slutty as they accentuate the body. I imagine they are tight fit and not some loose cargo pants, right?

>>25455128
Are you either irish or a yank?

>>25455128
...We recently graduating from being an insane soul-eating monster, and by graduate I mean we stopped eating souls because we ate all the souls we could.

>>25455128
You wouldn't happen yo live in the middle east, would you?

>>25455158
We're still insane and plotting genocide alongside Satan.

>>25455128
I would ask if you were amish but I guess being on a computer rules that out

>>25455173
Yeah. That's why I specified that we only stopped eating souls, thus implying that we're still an insane monster.

>>25455150
>>25455178
Muslim

>>25455161
Nah, Russia

>>25455108
The daggers he burned out surviving the first pandora Cero. The rest year, more or less. The remains Jager is holding onto, hoping to find something useful from them.

>>25455093
So I did! Any particular part you were interested in(How stats were chosen, which powers we didn't get, or anythign else I am forgetting?)
>>25455128
No, they are not tight fit. They are comfortable, so they aren't loose. They are Jeans, well fitting though they have some good wear in them.

>>25455209
I guess that would make sense then, considering counter-cultures in Russia are sluttier than 60's USA.

Would maxing dream walker only allow us to teleport a maximum of fifty feet, five times per thread?

>>25455211
What powers we didn't get sounds interesting, I mean we had a pretty big variety.

>>25455211
>How stats were chosen, which powers we didn't get

Those are nice to know.

>>25455242
Well, 70s punk fashion could get sort of bad. Torn fishnets and the like. And safety pins. Damn them and their safety pins.

But you dress like you are prepared to go, I dunno, riding a motorcycle or something. You want them to be a little loose, but not too loose. Just comfortable.

>>25455278
No, it branches off to pure teleport path, which gives you long distances a bunch of times, or intangibility which keeps short teleports but you can also just sort of be intangible for a bit because you can.

>>25455211
Was your goal from the start for Schrodinger to be a successor to Cheshire, or did it just turn out that way because /tg/ pretty much chose the same answers they did the first time?

Not sure if you can tell us this, but are you planning on having each area's afterlife based off of the dominant religion but with a few similarities thrown in, or is it Yahweh vs. the soul king?

>>25455211
Why are we probably British?
And how will we be able to again visit our probable homeland?

NO WONDER WE LOVE THE CLOCK TOWER SO MUCH!!!!

>>25455323
Knew it.

>>25455323
Why kind of abilities would we see at the end (level 5) of Tsukiyo's Mirror & Tesla's Revenge?

I kinda wish I'd suggested an ability for eldritch horror chest eating instead of gravity.

>>25455388
Naw man gravity is cool, we can do eldritch chest eating anyways.

>>25455388
>eldritch horror chest eating

We already have that, its called shapeshifting.

>>25455421
I meant something that synergized with it.

>>25455388
No point in eating, our hunger is sated forever.

Besides, gravity could come in handy for teaching physics.

Also when in Las Noches, we really need to walk on the walls/ceilings.

>>25455434
"A cat so high on the ceiling did spy a queen (king?) making deals and lies to align with the shinigami and hasten their doom. The end is nigh."

As we do somersaults on the ceiling and tapdance on the walls.

>>25455315
I'll start with a simplified version of stats then. I started with a baseline human, giving them say a dot here or there to represent a human soul.

Then, for example, for amusement I assigned to the go juice section, as your need for a full life and fun caused tit to grow. Which is why it was so absurdly high at the start there. Pulling your own plug also added to that while having another hollow attack you would have added to durability.

Speed was added on because of the urge to include freedom as a theme from some anons(And otherwise the sheet would have been pure go juice) and the point of cunning I think came from the suicide option, it's lost right now though.'

The willingness of your transformation effected how much humanity you had left, but it was pretty much gone so you took on a monstrous form, but you still had pleasures from life so you were animalistic. The id as it were.

Some of the other powers you could have gotten were dragon's breath(Rage) or mind control (Control) Minions (Lonely or sorrow path). Pretty much I tried to base everything I could on the player's choice at the beginning.

>>25455330
Plot, sorry.
>>25455340
The comfortable dress or the intangible?
>>25455373
Mirror I was going to have become the absorption or sort of a reflect+your own power added on. Lighting could go either offense or defense focused.
>>25455328
Wasn't a goal, but I knew it was a realistic thing going in. /tg/ wants what /tg/ wants. Ask them a thousand times and though the name changes the love never does.

>>25455473

Yes... caused tit to grow...

>>25455483
We all know I have stupid fingers. My players just sort of roll with it at this point.

>>25455473
The intangible part.

>>25455500

It's alright. I just hope the tit grew well... Muehehehe

>>25455508
May not be too original, but could be handy at some point.

>>25455524
Of course it would be handy. We could trick someone into thinking that we're not willing to use our singularity when we're close by to it, and when they focus on close combat we could just go "lol my own powers don't affect me getrealbrah-san."

>>25455557
>Make black hole
>Swim around in black hole
>hue4days

>>25455557
"Do you even give the impression?"

>>25455572
>>25455557
These posts are Kubo. I can tell from the formatting and use of blank backgrounds.

After we met Lucifer, is there any chance we'll meet the Devil (American Folklore stye)?

You know, wears a suit, smokes a cigar, possibly neatly trimmed facial hair, blues aficionado?

I assume big L has a guy to do that stuff for him.

Can we fake turning into multiple people by shapeshifting into multiple bodies connected by flesh strings?

We should totally turn into orphan boy's parent's that we ate and then smile and tilt our heads at him in a loving manner before vanishing. And then do it a couple more times, vanishing behind passing cars or around corners.

>>25455598

The best Devil.

>>25455615
I think we could do that with illusions much more easily. So yes, let's remember that line of thought.

>>25455615

He was a baby when they were killed.

They weren't even really his parents.

I also expect him to be broken, much like Ichigo...

>>25455668
>He was a baby when they were killed.

This, dammit.
Whoever raised him are his real parents now.

>>25455668
>I also expect him to be broken, much like Ichigo...
Broken as in everysinglepower or broken as in emo?

>>25455682
He's surely seen a picture. Imagine if he suddenly thought they just abandoned him instead of getting brutally murdered.

>>25455651
>>25455668
>>25455682
Ooh, you guys gave me a mean idea. He might have pictures/memorabilia of his original parents, if he does we can illusion them to occasional intervals and use them as a motivation for getting revenge or overcoming any regrets he might have at not knowing his real parents and manipulate him into the SS disruptor we need him to be.

>>25455683

Broken as in a lot of power. Especially if his growth spiked with ours.

And if it's the same, he's also now part shinigami. Because that's a defining factor of what an arrancar is. All he needs now is quincy ancestry and he's Ichigo.

>>25455598
Possible, Lucifer needs someone to do his work for him in the world. Try standing at a crossroads.
>>25455615
It would be sort of exhausting, and your shapeshifting is still limited. Plus illusions would give you more bang for your buck.
>>25455694
Possible, but also counter productive to current plans. Just saying.
>>25455721
There are plenty of easier ways to get him to disrupt SS. It is again a slow process but all good things are.

>>25455694
Oh. I'd kinda expect he'd know his parents were brutally murdered considering his age and... how brutal we were. I don't know how Japanese foster parents are about that kinda of stuff. Whether they were honest or left him in the dark.

>>25455721
Make him think that the dickass rap battle LT was the one that killed his parents.

So, yeah. I'm looking forward to wacky physics today.

We Ms. Frizzle now.

>>25455754
...Give the nature of how we killed them I'm not exactly sure that would be possible?

>>25455744
But you only infected him as hollow. He has no shinigami go juice. Doesn't even really have hollow go juice. Just a human whose large spiritual energy was given a template to work from.

>>25455754

No. We're going to re-engage in a rap battle with that shithead. And only if he wins does his squad get spared.

I figure that bit of insanity would do well to the memory of Susan...

>>25455806
I forgot, what did we do?

>>25455807
Time to tear his face off then.

Humans can live through that... right?

>>25455805
I'm... not as optimistic since we want to play as a super srs physics teacher harble rarble.

Hopefully my players will be able to make it an enjoyable time otherwise it is just "Physics 10 with the doctor.

>>25455806
It's easy. We just make him think Winston was actually his father.
>You're looking a bit green today, mate, do you think you might be half-plant?

>>25455807
So he is a mutated abomination not fit to live on this world?

>>25455805
Oh god.
>we go on a field trip
>levitate the bus to the top of mount Fuji
>lesson plan starts there

>>25455827
No, they can't. I would rather this didn't just turn to full murder hobo again. That's sort of boring.
>>25455816
Ripped their organs out and spelled things on the wall with it.
>>25455814
Making us the #1 enemy of soul society. I plan on you getting revenge, just not "Rawr, I will attack everything and no one can touch me woo hoo!" You will get murdered. Subtlety, again, is what is more rewarded here.

>>25455827
If we kick his soul out of his body we can cause the hallow bit of him to come out and PLAY.

>>25455857
that doesn't sound remotely funny or interesting

>>25455848
Just a kid born in a town which makes spiritually strong people. He had a ton of go juice as a baby which would have leveled off or faded, more go juice than babies usually have since they are actually all magic, but we gave his powers room to mold and stay.

>>25455836
It's all part of forming the teacher-student bond with the little punk that we're manipulating into our revenge weapon. So like you said, it will be slow...

>>25455878
It was a magic school bus reference, they're not for everyone.

>>25455873
I wonder... do we actually have a safe method of doing that right now?

>>25455871
Meh, I just want to form our own Fracon squad, which we can use to surprise everyone with. Especially the traitor captain.

>>25455871
The face-ripping was in reference to Hollow's arrancar-ing up.

I like this guy's idea >>25455873

We haven't seen a hollow side come out at all from any fullbringers.

The answer for the rap-battle would be that we get him all 1v1 and then break his bankai if he has one. Once we sufficiently defeat him, we give him this one last chance to save himself and his squad from us...

By that note, we rap battle.

If he wins, we leave. and our allies destory him and his squad.
If he loses, we kill him. Harshly.

I can only hope we can swing into such a situation.

>>25455892

I still think that we should recruit all the students with lots of go juice into our Drama Club, and use it to train them up for the 'SS Distraction Force'...

Also, Here's an idea... When our boy gets his Shinigami powers via Lucy's plan, we could jump into his body and have some fun... do some weird stuff...
Maybe take photos and use them to troll him...

>>25455914
"Where did you get all of those arrancar? I recruited all of them to take over the world"

"I've always had them, puppet."

>>25455942
Long term goal, but we're definitely gonna get revenge on the rap junkie somehow.

>>25455950
>we could jump into his body and have some fun
Since when can we do that?


And what exactly was Lucy's plan? It seemed vague. "Do things. Get shinigami powers. Kill Soul King."

>>25455972

We need Aizen's plot device.

>>25455972
The orb-thiiing. Not-Hougyoku. My mind is blank AE help me!

>>25455914
You already have one member in your general of misery. 2 if you include Jager.
>>25455894
And your solution to this is be a physics teacher who is super obsessed with physics? I could think of, like, three ways to do that which don't involve having to go through tedious teaching posts or dealing with annoying kids.

Many more if you include being a teacher and still being a touch psychotic. Just pretty sure this is the most boring method is all.

>>25455950
Again, why drama club? As the voice in the head said that is like... the least conducive club to teaching about magic spirit powers and getting them on our side.

They are kids adrift and lost and scared and we are a guiding sort of adult figure. Just seems so many better, more effective, more amusing ways to go about this.
>>25455972
He is giving parts of the plan out in stages. He needs a human, most comfortably with shinigami powers, to enter soul society. A living human.

>>25455972
>Since when can we do that?

well, when he get the Shinigami Powers and goes fighting hollows, his body will be empty...
We then jump in as though it were a Gigai....

>>25455991
You mean the fruit?

>>25456019
>Just seems so many better, more effective, more amusing ways to go about this.
Yeah, like seducing him.

>>25456024
UhhhhHHhH?

>>25456040
Yes. Thank you.

>>25456019
Maybe we'll have more ideas when the thread starts. It takes player effort to make a suggestion that's funny, and much more for it to be funny and accepted by the other players.
You can try posting them as anon and none would be the wiser, it isn't railroading if you encouraging more entertainment.

Can't count Jager, as he has to head the open army. I suppose she could head it up if we can disappear her discretely enough.

>>25456076
>...seriously?
No. Spoiler tags may as well be [joke] tags most of the time.

>>25456076
Just start the thread. This is devolving into an inane banter

>>25456095
All she commands you command. It is your army it just doesn't know it. Why get a huge following who is oh so dedicated to you spreading your name far and wide? It attracts attention, that's it.

>>25456139

Your players won't think of them.
It's a hard thing to accept, but as a GM, 3/4ths of all opportunities will inevitably be left in the dust.
What's left must be used to encourage the players creativity and engage them in the game. Although that isn't easy when your players are all the same actor in a thread based interactive game.

You silly.
We focused on subtlety by having Jager take the throne, those who genuinely know/understand our actions and ourselves are few.

>>25456198
How many people were in that room at the time? How many of them are still alive? Do you WANT to be more known? If a reputation means that much to you I will up it.
>>25456206
No, Jager was the leader of the resistance as far as everyone else is concerned. She is the one on the throne.
>>25456212
I'll keep it in mind.
>>25456218
I really hate to say this, more so when you've been so cool otherwise, but that is probably a really, really, really bad idea.

Alright it was funny the first time but doing that is a complete waste of time when we have better, more direct, and easier methods of getting him trained then the can of worms that blackmail is.

>>25456245
>f a reputation means that much to you I will up it.
No don't shit no.

>>25456139
To use an analogy, I more meant to create sort of a squad zero to Jeager's Gote 13. The main difference would be that only the members would know of its existence.

>>25456245

I know. Metal poisons the mind... especially the lead... So it seemed like a good idea at the time...

>psychology club?

Perfect for Risa.

Also, Are we the only vasto level Hollow left in Las Noches aside from Sin-Fin?

If so, that's pretty badass.

Wouldn't be surprised if a spontaneous Ulquiorra happened. Yeah, he was BORN a Vasto Lord.
Or if there weren't a loner as fucjk one just wandering around.

>>25456447
Pretty sure AE has been implying that we've only yet to begin Kubo'ing so I expect quite a lot of stuff like that.

>>25456447
You keep assuming she was vasto.

>>25456419
I dont understand that conclusion by th QR. It lets us provide weird circumstances to them as parts of plays. Plus we can be very serious in showing method acting sculpted to use and hone there powers and lets us hint at magic physics when we talk set designs.

>>25456483
Or we, could, y'know, have hollows attack their friends and have them get wrecked enough that they want to get much stronger.

>>25456524
cant we do that as well drama club dose not exclude that. we could even have one happen at the club when we have them practicing our special acting.

>>25456571
Eh. I'm feeling some sort of strange apathy setting in since we're apparently going with that sort of thing, so I guess so. At least if no one else comes up with something better.

>>25456610
it'll get better when Azure-sama starts

>>25456571
Why would we need to provide the situations as part of plays? It will make us seem suspicious at the least if the quincies type people are already aware of monsters and the "special exercises".

Just saying that from where I'm standing drama club seems a massive, pointless strain which will attract attention for all the wrong reasons. Maybe you can provide an amazing in universe reason for doing it, I honestly don't know, and if that's where anon wants to run with it then we can.

There just seem to be so many better ways of going about it, even if you want to keep the club angle.

Why not make some afterschool ghosthunters club?

Havve the scrubiest scrubrat hollows "haunt" the kids we want as members.

They get curious, we act cool, fun happens.

Thoughts?

>>25456664

I'd second it.

>>25456664
Well that kinda just draws suspicions towards us. I can't really see it happening unless we pretend to be this worlds Don Kanonji.

>>25456642
>Why would we need to provide the situations as part of plays

not every time just do that the first or second time to make then see our exercises help them fight monsters.
they will come to us when they see we can sow them shit.

>>25456664
If we couple that with teaching the kids theoretical physics I can see it working

Azure either likes this way more than drama club or he's smashing his head into his desk into frustration.

Or we could assemble them as a group of teenagers with attitude.
*tosses random masks at them, goes to grab our crazy squid as their mortal enemy and fake BBEG*
But in all seriousness, I think the reason we were looking to start a club was to get them all together and make friends/frenemies with one another. From there, it would've been easier to start warping their world view to our ends by either facing them as random monsters (controlled encounters basically, monster of the week style if we want to go surreal) or by forming up/controlling gillians with our natural power. Maybe artificially make things stronger by grabbing shinigami from other parts of the country and force feeding them to low level hollow.

>>25456642
Well now I'm a bit iffy about the thread you'll be running because you're basically telling us you don't know how to make it entertaining with these particular methods and that you might not actually have fun writing it.
If it is so severely the case you may want to suggest other options that you like/find sensible as greentext when you ask for player actions, that let's us pick and choose and debate our preferences without setting anything into motion and without you being called a train mechanic.

>>25456679
>>25456710

That sounds amazing.

We need to do this.

I kind of don't understand why drawing attention from quincies is a bad thing. Far as they know we're a fullbringer, mudblood quincy, or a spiritually sensitive human.

Hell, even if they knew that we were an arrancar, we're WAY to powerful to fuck with.

>>25456765
Read the new chapters. If its the new broke as fuck quincies, I wouldn't be so sure.

>>25456797

There's truth to every joke. We need to do it. it fits so well with Risa being insane!

>>25456681
Again, a massively impossibly round about way to do it which would be highly ineffective. I imagine they would be fine with you showing them about monsters if you, I dunno, saved them from a monster? They ran into you while they were doing their plot things and see you can hold your own? Hell, show up after a massive brawl and heal them?

Drama club seems like a really bad idea. Not just in character wise, but meta-wise writing it would drag on with no real pacing. It would feel unnatural, and the players wouldn't have much fun I think unless they can pull off something.
>>25456745
It's the former. I mentioned you were able to still command hollows for a reason.

Technically we also have illusions, shapeshifting, and a shitload of unrelated powers.

Could we make an illusion of a talking potted plant? He could be the boy's companion and set him off on a quest to save him from the Soul King who is holding him hostage.

After their first encounter with a hollow
"Didn't your parents warn you about those Masked people? Very aggressive sorts they are..."

we should save this until he is firmly under our sway.

>>25457087
Comic relief nigga.

He's kinda like Hercule from dbz, except he actually has a tiny smidge of power. Not enough to actually be good, but some.

>>25457087

A TV Spiritualist who could actually see ghosts.

Black guy/Dark-skinned asian with dreadlocks who liked making Nirvana references.

Could shoot a little ball of exploding energy, and loved being the hero to the children of Japan.

Awesome guy

>>25457101
>>25457112
>>25457114

Oh, I see.
What happened to him?

>>25457130

He made a local superhero team that consisted of Ichigo's sisters, a lesbian, a different Shinigami with an afro and tried hitting the BBEG of Bleach with a stick to get the attention away from the children.

That's all I remember.

>>25457153
holy shit I had forgotten that last part. Don Kanogi you crazy diamond.

Azure, why have we stopped speaking rhymes?

I see. It was enjoyable though. Shame my English is not that good to consistently rhyme.

>Plus we are undercover
I don't think this can blow our cover. We aren't really known at all.

>>25456814
Lucifer shitstorm? What happened?

People thought the USSR thing was a trap.

That's why we didn't go to it.

>>25463654
Yeah, this.

Really, Schroedinger musing about how it was probably a trap, coupled with both us already going on a trap expedition and then Lucifer later talking about the Angels hanging out who lack power limiters like the Shinigami do...Kind of made us think that trying to leave Japan before we can at least give Lucifer some trouble against us would be a pretty bad idea.

Also, AzureEarth, the very fact that your quest causes shitstorms instead of people just leaving means that people WANT to keep following it.

AE, this quest is on page 10, 5 threads ahead of it before 404. If you're going to continue this quest (Which I hope) please make a new thread.

>>25463654
Even if it was a trap you already beat one trap for fun.
>>25463713
Pretty sure some people have already left
>>25463733
I'm not certain that is a good idea

>>25460944
Lucifer is preternaturally beautiful, something Schrodinger immediately noticed.

Combined with us first having a gender as an Adjuchas, and a bunch of people freaked the fuck out for stupid reasons.

As an attempt to smooth things over, AE pretty much spilled that the handsome dude was Lucifer Morningstar, when he planned to play that a lot closer to the chest.

>>25463840
Just for the night, not forever.

I'd say you've been picking up more followers as the quest went on.

I'm pretty sure that we're dealing with Louis Cypher here. He's a pretty awesome dude who respects strength and desires to turn the world into a super-darwinian chaosfest. Which is basically what HUEco Mundo is, which would explain why he hangs out there so much.

>>25463840

And? I'm still here, and I'm the only person that matters.

On a more serious note, I'm pretty sure that AIDA has about...5/6 dedicated followers? Which includes me. And I'm really fucking sure that Hollow Quest has at least double or triple that amount, even now.

Be satisfied with what you have - a lot of QMs would kill for both your (impressive) talents and readership.

You know how I suggested earlier that before you start writing, you just post a line with what you think we want to do, as a way of verifying?

Maybe you could also post what you think our intentions are with that action? Like -why- we chose it?

I admit it is hard to tell over a screen, but it's like you automatically assume we have the worst intentions and are specifically trying to make things harder on you.

>>25463884
I'm not sure either, but the man speaks the truth.

>>25463959

Honestly, it's what we've all been saying more of less in a slightly different tone.

>>25463915
Yeah I'm one of the AIDA followers, which is why this recent situation kind of really upset me, because it felt like the exact same thing that, if not killed, at least severely wounded .hack//AIDA the last time it was run.

That and there's a constant fear that AE will just quit, which sucks because AIDA is honestly my 2nd-favorite currently running quest (sorry AE, but Diarca has a stronger grasp on my soul) and Hollow is... 4th?

>>25463840

just getting caught up with the thread.
>I didn't like that 'act crazy to scrub hollow' won and i like the arguing that came after it even less.
>however I will keep following this quest because you write it well and Hollows are very interesting.

>>25463915
Still I do not want to drive away the people I have now so I am trying to find what they want. It was mentioned in a quest general that I need more original characters and designs to make things fun and when I trot them out I felt they were not wanted. So that pretty much just leaves me with lul random which I really do not fancy writing.
>>25463938
And they have been degenerating into these lately. Sorry about that.
>>25463952
Not always the worst, but with how many people just wanted to kill/eat/main what ever as opposed to interact and do more lol randum things all the time... It makes it hard to get a handle on things. I don't want to just come out and say "Okay, guys, I get trolling and being weird is fun, I have fun too, but this is a chance to get a human world ally for your war against order. Don't act like a weirdo and seriously piss her off."
>>25464023
I am still scared to start AIDA back up after the last thread.
>>25464030
Thanks for following. I will try to meet your expectations if not exceed them.

>>25464023
AIDA isn't my second favourite Quest, unfortunately...but thats only because crazy-good ones like Magical Girl Noir, Ogre Civilization, Shadow, and Lamia Daughter exist. I'd have also included AC-Guy's stuff here, but lately he seems to be losing steam...

Oh, also this Quest exists too.

But regardless. AzureEarth's stuff is on My List.

Look Haruko is... really not ideal, but if all that happened is both of us lost our cool, that's manageable. Like it seems as if there's a fundamental disconnect in that we're not getting it across how much she matters to us. I mean I love MANIA, and prefer her as a romantic option but as far as I'm concerned, Haruko is the female lead.

The whole missing out on the informants is troublesome, especially since I think it was the result of an incorrect tallying, but considering that we may have taught Azure Kite how to hate, and we were in a hurry with the Moon Tree biz, our paranoia and haste is understandable.

>>25464092
>It was mentioned in a quest general that I need more original characters and designs to make things fun and when I trot them out I felt they were not wanted.
You know, that reminds me...Whatever happened to that Quincy-like girl? You know, the one who's face we wrote on? I don't think we ate her, but I'm not sure...

>"Okay, guys, I get trolling and being weird is fun, I have fun too, but this is a chance to get a human world ally for your war against order. Don't act like a weirdo and seriously piss her off."
Honestly, I think what people wanted was to give off the impression of basically being More Than A Little Bit Threatening Supernatural Miss Frizzle. And really, you should have given us a few options for making up with that chick.

Something like leaving our Gigai, putting up our cloak at max power, going full Hollow mode then showing up to say hi while holding our lifeless Gigai in one hand. Scare the shit out of her for a little bit then revert back to Arcannar form.

Something like that would have been interesting to see, though I'm unfortunately sure it would have been impossible. Still, its not like forcing Schroedinger into a situation where she actually has to -apologize- for being isn't interesting.

Honestly thats my biggest issue with it. I seriously cannot understand why you passed up that opportunity. As a GM myself if one of my players entered that situation I would have jumped all over it.

Last thread... Haruka was on a short fuse.

You know, IC we should have known her fuses were primed, and what not to say when her fuses were primed, seeing as that we were with her for quite a few years.

Which means that our writein could have been QM'ed NOPED by you via warning us, seeing as that Chen should know these things IC. I don't think that counts as handholding...

Also, I don't think many people OOC know about the details of her abuse and whatnot. Hell, we don't even know much about our family.

>>25464092

>>25463938 here

Don't be concerned. The cuddle puddle that is occurring here is really just character development for the slew of voices in Risa's head.

It's not 100% losing steam and more 'my schedule is more fucked than a double cunted hooker when the sailors come in'.

I'm trying to get my shit together to run, but I'm not expecting more than 2-3 threads before the end of he month tops. I'd be running daily if my schedule allowed.

>>25464092

Like the others have pointed out, you only have like one issue when it comes to running these things. Which is impressive, considering you apparently haven't been doing it for long.

Most of the reason why the shitstorms get so bad are because you consistently set the bar high enough that when you do stumble the quality drop is really noticeable.

I wasn't joking when I said you were arguably the best running at the moment, it's more circumstance and your occasional inability to read the mood that burns you.

My advice is when the players seem to be making a weird/bad choice don't just go 'are you sure' point out 'it sounds like you want (this)'. It's not really hand-holding to ask for clarification.

>>25464092
different guy who tends to hit this late at night for hollow quest and AE you seem to have 2 main problems as a QM that honestly i think would help you:
problem number one is that your oftentimes writing things in a way where its basically picking the best choices in a situation and not really letting people folow up on what your doing:
what i mean is a very good example is last thread with the obvious don kanonji bullshittery, where essentally it broke down to people fucked up by what sounded like trolls, you wrote yourself into a corner and punted what sounds like a major part of your story out the window, thats exactly how it read like.

second part is you need more of a backbone here, this is your story, but people are interacting with it, and can manipulate it, there are times to give for people what they want and there are times where you need to put your foot down as well, for the sake of the story. that's something you only get with experience.
an example from my personal experiance is your DMing a D&D game where someones supposed to be a paladin in 3.5 rules and they rape a child, its not railroading to have them fall.

Something not directly related to the recent events for you here AE.

Could you tell me a little about your process? I'm going to be starting some quests on /tg/ in the near future, and I want to prepare myself for them as well as I can. I'm going to start writing up a big book of possibilities here soon, which is how I've done most of them, but I would like your input.

To what extent have you 'planned' your game? Are we where you expected us to be 5 threads ago? Have we taken this in a direction you didn't see coming, and have been forced to adapt and roll with the punches?

Do you have any tips on character generation?

What (if any) advice can you give me about QMing that you don't think other people would be able to offer me. (Or hell, give me that too, I'm pretty green behind the gills.)

In the mean time, I'll plan. I've got a few ideas for possible quests, but I'm unsure what route I'm going to take.

>>25464206
>Something like leaving our Gigai, putting up our cloak at max power, going full Hollow mode then showing up to say hi while holding our lifeless Gigai in one hand. Scare the shit out of her for a little bit then revert back to Arcannar form.
That... that's meant to be a way to make up with her?

>>25464092
>when I trot them out I felt they were not wanted
I'll agree with you that we could've spent more time talking to the Twincies (which is an awesome pun) and the kid who pulled the plug on the tesla-coil (I forget his name). I think the fault lies mostly with Risa's personality, which is really cool (you write the inner insanity monologues wonderfully well) but she's not very big on meaningful interactions with others. I think her fucking around with dangerous shit in physics was pretty In Character for her since it's a new thrill for her and she can share it with others. It doesn't leave much room for interacting with students, though.

It may be a good idea to handle Art Class with two choices: "What kind of art will the students do?" and "Which student(s) will you tutor whilst they're working?"
This gives us chances to get to know the kiddies better, which we'll need to do if we're making our student army of ghost-fighters or whatever.

>>25464291
Yes.

It clearly shows that we are an abomination of the highest order, that did what was like breathing to us when faced off against an abomination of the lowest order.

>>25464210
Yeah, you should really treat all Quest PCs as having the Common Sense merit. ie if we're doing something we KNOW to be a stupid idea IC, have a post that goes 'You open your mouth to speak when you remember that So and so had Such and such happen to them'.

Don't expect posters to remember everything the character does. If there's something you KNOW the character remembers but the players seem to have forgotten there's no shame in reminding them of it. Your regular players might not actually be there at that point in time - one of the main problems with using an anonymous messageboard to run things like this.

That said, you should really do the same for things like this situation. At the very least clarify what people want - I at least wanted to send the hollow on its way with simple flamboyance.

>>25464291
>That... that's meant to be a way to make up with her?
She said that she didn't want us making fun of her like that. Showing her just how serious we can be might actually appeal to her and get her respect, especially since AzureEarth listed how the other options would have gone.

And we could always follow it up with an offer to teach her some tricks.

As I said though it is probably either impossible (because we can't mask our Hollow aura at full power) or, adding on to that, a dumb idea period.

>>25464206
If we had our cloak up, could she even sense our hollow form?

>>25464356
I have no idea, but she could probably see us.

And, in our apology, we should point out that we didn't expect her to react so badly, since HALF HER CLASS can see ghosts too.

>>25464092

Well, I think that the main point of why this was kind of a thing was that there was little chance of repairing things with the new NPC.

It's fine if you want to show that acting like a weirdo insane Hollow when attempting to parley normal people will turn them off, at the very least. But the way that you showed this was a bit harsh.

I think this can be easily repaired by having her NOT be gone forever, but merely just skipping class even harder than usual. Perhaps have some students mention that they saw her in a prefecture far away from the school or something and that she's pretty hopping mad. More than usual. There were already a lot of people saying "give her some space, we'll try again later when we're not being quite so asinine and when she's considerably less angry." It would be expected that there'd be a long process of getting her to not hate us; in doing so, we gain a venue of character development AND learn that we can't act like Insane Hollow around non-Hollows.

>>25464373
>HALF HER CLASS
Nope, that's only two, three classmates that can.

>>25464373
Apparently AE just meant that they had above average go juice, but not enough to see dead people.

>>25464339
And she would want to pursue future interaction with us why exactly? Snap, you've usually had better plans than this.

>>25464383

>Character Development

Er, just to clarify, that the whole "not getting her to hate us" would present an opportunity for Risa (NOT THE PLAYERS!) to get to know who this NPC is. Her motivations, worries, backstory, everything that makes her a character.

>>25464196
I'll try and think of something. Somewhere in cyberspace azure kite is drinking gin and polishing a shotgun while looking at a picture of chen. He sits in his rocking chair and waits.
>>25464206
She is -plot plot-. She is still alive. Doin plot stuff. I plan on making her matter.

Because I honestly though players did not want to deal with social interaction or character building or what ever despite being told that's what my quest needed to be better. So at that point I just said "Okay, back to random trolling then."

I have a cult surrounding me. Do your worst. Granted it isn't a cult to me, but still.
>>25464210
There was also a lot of negativity which sort of bled through the whole of the thread.
>>25464218
There are many voiced, yet only one monologue. That's how I always wrote her.
>>25464228
That's Simokn, good sir.
>>25464237
Thanks, I don't think I am that good considering what I normally read on hear but it is good to hear. I may try that out next time I run, when the stars align correctly and the sunken city of HEYWHATAREYOUDOINGSTOPI-
>>25464238
Thanks for your input. I am partially worried I will ignore someone I think is a troll because of a bad idea and then end up ignoring part of my player base. I want everyone to have fun

I tried to put my foot down more this time but it seems to have backfired. I think more experience might be what I need in that department.
>>25464265
I think of a cool/fun idea then I let it grow and grow. The worst part for me is making names so be sure to have a few ready at least.

As you can see I may not be the best case for this, but try to be consistent. I had no idea we would be a high school teacher 5 threads ago, though I did plan on the morningstar a while back.

Also, I guess, you should make sure you have fun interesting characters. Make a dynamic living world and then put them into it. If they hate the plot then they will have plenty of other fun things to do which you will have fun writing.
...

>>25464383
To be honest I don't think Risa's behavior is even due to being a hollow.

I'm pretty sure she was a crazy bitch when she was alive.

>>25464373
>>25464385
Only a few can see or sense ghosts, but roughly half the school has above-average spirit energy. Maybe that's what has you confused?

>>25464339
And then she will definitely never talk to us again. And possibly tell the nofunigami/quincy that we're a hollow.

>>25464403
>And she would want to pursue future interaction with us why exactly?
Because we're an abomination of the HIGHEST order, we can order around small fry like its nothing, and we're not particularly interested in killing or eating her.

Which we're not.

We're interested in getting her in class.

>>25464423
Yeah, that and the guy who almost sensed us through our gigai.

>>25464385
And they don't seem to attract Hollows (yet).

>>25464412
We wanted to do those social interaction and character building, but we wanted to do it as Risa.

Like have Schrodinger learn that what was okay in Hueco Mundo isn't okay here, since I doubt she's ever given serious condition to what normal people do.

>>25464265
... For character creation hold their hands a bit, say what can't be done, but otherwise let them have fun. I had no idea Chen was going to happen but I love him in a way that makes bowie jealous.
>>25464333
That might be a good idea. IK was a bit stuck with how to proceed with interactions since we are pretty much just some teatcher right now.
>>25464383
I thought sin-fin getting punished would be enough to show that being crazy doesn't always fly. I will try writing her back in some how.
>>25464408
I am just worried we will bugger off and do random shit for the luls instead of even caring about that to be honest.
>>25464446
Again, because of our random antics we got a general punished pretty badly. I thought that might have been a cool we were deadpooling it.
>>25464435
He didn't sense you he -plot plot-

>>25464412
Personally I think this whole arc is great for some character interaction and learning. I think that having to apologize and learn that we can't act like a crazy hollow all the time would be a great experience for Risa, and give her a little insight in becoming human again, which is the ultimate goal of a hollow after all.

>>25464353
Seconding the want to send the hollow away with a little flamboyance. More like "You mean the miserable little frog thing behind me? GET LOST SCRUB!" Granted I could have clarified my personal intentions better, but the Don choice seemed to follow what I wanted to do in general.

>>25464498
Apparently Sin-Fin still likes us. And honestly the fact that we know that girl's name means that we know she's important, and that you've gotta collect 'em all.

>>25464498
>I am just worried we will bugger off and do random shit for the luls instead of even caring about that to be honest.
Well at the moment, you've gotten your followers pretty fixated on her. If you don't throw something vastly more interesting (ie Aizen) at us we're pretty much locked in on her for the next arc or so.

You've given us a challenge.

>>25464435
An abomination of the highest order has taken a personal interest in you and seems to want to keep you close, but alive. You have the option of running to safety, to a place where even this monstrosity cannot follow on pang of death. Where you will be defended and trained into a warrior of the highest caliber, never to fear for you safety again, never to put others at risk just by being around them. Do you say no to the All-Father's offer?

>>25464500
Yeah, I was expecting we act like something out of Kamen Rider or a magical girl show instead of what we got.

>>25464498
Well, apparently some players didn't realize that Sin-Fin's punishment was really that severe. Maybe it needed to be brought up more explicitly.

>>25464412
>There was also a lot of negativity which sort of bled through the whole of the thread.
It started after we made our first mistake.

What was our... oh, right. Our paranoia. Six posts, 2 votes for... meeting the informant with party, 1 for staying alone.

Hrumm.

Then after just one mistake, /tg/ starts snowballing down IDGF lane.

Woo. We need some better tenacity.

>>25464573
Some of those votes were having the party be on standby, I think it was only a couple people who wanted to wait only thirty seconds.

I don't think Delinquent Valkyrie needs to be away on plot business, necessarily. She could just as easily have run away from home for a week or so (as teenagers do sometimes) because she really hated everything at the time. When she's back Risa can make up some lie about being a hollow-hunter who is trying to find ways to fight them and how she only acted like a crazy person because she didn't know Delinquent Valkyrie could see them too. Then we can offer to train her so she can fight them, Risa already felt how strong she is.

>>25464500
The one that kept getting seconded was the one that said "Cross your arms over yrru chest and go buwahahahahahahahaha" "Spirits are always with you!" So I went with that for dialogue.
>>25464538
Until she stabs you in the back to her dark lord Soul King so he may free her from the dark plane and into eternal light.
>>25464545
Still I would rather it didn't have to degenerate into shit storms for me to focus anon on something.
>>25464572
I see. We were playing Risa so murderhoboish at the time I honestly thought anon just didn't care some one else got hurt for what they did.
>>25464573
Yeah, it was pretty bad. I hate those split decisions because then it becomes hard to identify exactly what thought process led to the wrong outcome or which side the error was.

>>25464498
I don't think people got the message with Sin Fin. She herself liked the shortbread well enough, so insanity kind of worked in that instance.

I think most people just thought "The king's an ass." and resolved to kill him.

This instance is the first time that "kill the problem" hasn't been viable, so Risa may finally begin to learn some tact.

>>25464412

>What I normally read on here.

It's a huge problem with our generation that if we're not actively praised we seem to think we're failures.

Or, I'm GUESSING 'our' generation since you don't strike me as dramatically older/younger than me, but I digress.

Looking over the archives, not one of your threads are out of the purple, and that's with the anti-quest fags dragging you down.

Basically, people only speak up when they have a problem. They don't want to rock the boat if everything's fine, and don't really go out of the way to shower compliments on the whole.

Look at all the times people have complained about something you did, versus all the times where nobody said shit. You've got maybe a ten percent rate of complaint per events if we're giving it to every little niggling point they make.

So 90% of the time, everyone's totally happy with your performance. That's better than most do, on the whole.

Seriously, take a look over the average ratings for F/A and AC-Quest compared to yours. You're kicking ass, dude. More then you have any right to be at this point in your QMing career.

>>25464500
>>25464569
Another clarification I would like to make is that it has been a really long time since I have seen Bleach proper so when the Don option came up I was thinking more Mob Boss Don then Bleach Don.

>>25464593
>Delinquent Valkyrie
she sounds like a metal gear solid boss

>>25464620
I know it's probably wrong, but whenever I'm hosting a quest and my players make some serious fucked up decision, I step in as anon and say 'Woah, this is a bad idea because _____ might happen, how about (vague idea that they can work off of)

Then, if they ridicule that post I fuck 'em twice as hard for being unable to see logic.

I know, probably not the best way to handle those situations, but I like running threads as much as I like playing in them, and I try to give my players outs now and again when they're fucking up too bad.

>>25464498
Maybe you could also use this arc as an opportunity to let us tone down on the "random" a bit. As in more consistent but less harsh punishments for our behavior rather then letting /tg/ get away with 90% of its shit then bringing down the heat when we least expect it.

>>25464646

It's not entirely uncommon.

I know for a fact that Sean has attempted a 1-2 post 'voice of reason' counter-argument in the past.

>>25464646
>I know it's probably wrong, but whenever I'm hosting a quest and my players make some serious fucked up decision, I step in as anon and say 'Woah, this is a bad idea because _____ might happen, how about (vague idea that they can work off of)
This is a fantastic idea that any QM should do if things are going into serious derp territory.

>>25464498

I honestly can't say that there aren't a few choices that the playerbase made that were a bit on the random side. But assuming that the players are always going to be intentionally disruptive is not a good attitude to take; then it becomes QM vs. Players.

If there's a choice that seems real weird to you or that makes no sense, ask for clarification.

I kinda made the snap decision to act like the Don because I thought it'd be like some sort of weird Zen Master showing off to a prospective student; if the student gets mad and goes off, that's also a part of the narrative. The Zen Master follows and shows the student that not all is as it seems, and perhaps that the angry student should quite frankly loosen up a bit. Even the most inane or degrading stuff can carry great purpose and wisdom. Wax-on, wax-off.

>>25464658

I just want to go back to some old fashioned trolling against people who are paper to us.

When are we going to the SS?

>>25464629
This. Also, the reason people complain so loudly is because they care. You've got us emotionally invested in this shit.

>>25464629
While perhaps a bit harsh, I have to agree with this sentiment.

I mean Hollow Quest seems to be if anything steadily increasing in popularity, I think the 24-hour marathon won a lot of people over.

>>25464681

Hey guys, let's try to redeem these Chaos grunts left behind.

>Really? That one has a face on his belt.
>Nobody would miss these things, and I'm a person who gives everyone second chances.
>This is very heretical, and I'm pretty reasonable in my definition of heretical.

You know what guys? That's a very good point. What the hell were we thinking? Let's kill them and be done with it.

>>25464646
That makes good sense. It creates a certain paranoia about the source of suggestions, perhaps, but it certainly guarantees a voice of reason (which questers *really* need).

>>25464716
...MetaOP?

>>25464686
I get ya, I just think that making Risa have to act like a halfway normal person while still being crazy could be more fun then being our normal, doesn't-give-a-fuck self.

>>25464738

Yes.

The Orz thing was also very stupid in retrospect. But not immediately so, and the plot hook resolved wonderfully.
