>[]Go looking for Avril.
we should talk to her before the party so it isn't as awkward. We need to attempt to say how sorry we are.

[X]Eat on your own. You have enough on your plate already.

Either this, or look for Jason and interrogate him.

>>25959701
[x] Go looking for Avril
Admit to have fucked up. Ask her if we can reduce the power we have on her, because her kneeling in front of us when we get rid of thugs isn't right.

>>25959754
This leaves the issue with Avril to be dealt during the party. Weird.

>>25959737
This. We're out of the moment now so we should go to her, give a sincere apology then maybe leave her (logisitcally but not romantically, we can leave the latter to her desision)

>look for Isabella

we might as well see how far the rabbit hole goes at this point.

jump right in.

Look for Isabella so that we can casually ask very forward questions without fear.

It might take her aback so much, she fears

>>25959701
((Okay, that should be long enough for everyone to have gotten into the new thread. Also, since we're taking up two threads tonight, we'll run late to make sure we get some good use out of this one instead of cutting off after a few story posts.

I count three votes for Avril, two for Isabella. Writing now.))

>>25960254
Excellent

I'll be devoting myself to salvaging this clusterfuck.

>>25960254
You finish your lunch quickly and then take a walk around looking for Avril. It doesn't take you long to find her, sitting outside on the grass, in the shade of a tree again. She's fiddling with something in her hands. A daisy.

You stop a few yards away, giving her some space. Her voice seems to carry to you just fine, despite the distance and the fact that she's still looking down at the flower. "Hi, Chris. That's probably close enough for now."

"Okay. Can we... talk? If there's anything to talk about."

"Well, I don't know, Chris. Is there? Like you said, this is what you are now. A big bundle of hunger in a human skin. A skin I'm bound to. Is this going to happen every time you 'lose control'? Is that what life is going to be like, for however long we're together?" She looks down at the daisy, and carefully plucks a single petal from it. "I'm not sure I could take that again. Do you have any way to change things, Chris?"

Do you have anything else you want to say to her?

>>25960631
I lost control and did something horrible. I will hate myself forever for what I have done to you. I can only promise you that I will never let my hunger take me over like that again. I give you my word.

>>25960631
I don't want that to happen again. I can't lose control like that again, but there's only one way I can think of making sure I won't hurt you again.
Bind me to you

>>25960697
she's fae bro... if we fuck up on accident we'll have fucked ourselves

my vote would be for trying to loosen our bond with her a little, we can't keep hurting her

>>25960697
bad wording.

>>25960631
Avril, let me swear to you that I will never do that to you again. I thought i could protect you, but i realize i was a fool to think so.

I would promise you that i will do everything in my power to make sure I never attack you like that again.

can you ever forgive me?

>>25960718
this. loss of control to someone we trust and is bound to us beats random fuckups

>>25960798
(this is good because it doesnt prevent us from going dark self again. It only states that we will try and never rape avril again.)

>>25960631
"I don't know if I can change things. I want to, and I want to find out how. I'd like it if you could be there as I do, but I'll try regardless."

Do not promise to never Dark Self again!

its useful, but next time we can not just be full retard with it.

>>25960840
Plllleeeeaassseee make Avril a mind reader so that she can hear this.

>>25960718
eh, what the hell. lets do it

>>25960631
((Okay. Writing now.))

>>25960917
Its a good thing Avril doesnt browse 4chan.

besides, its just presenting a promise to her. A promise that we will do whatever we can to never harm her like that again. Thats perfectly reasonable.

Its not like going berserk didnt tottally save our ass. Id like to be able to do it again in an emergency, without having to break a Fae promise and suffer.

>>25960798
She already told us that she can't enforce oaths by stopping behavior, only by punishing breaches. Promising not to do something that might not always be controllable just means sometimes we'll fuck ourselves over for no reason.

>>25961072
So we never dark self near Avril again. Problem solved.

>>25960975
>Its a good thing Avril doesnt browse 4chan.
Why?

>>25961124
Nor near Jill. Nor near Masami. Nor near Isa-

Let's leave it at never near Avril, Jill or Masami.

I'm still mad we hulked out and then decided to rape her...

>>25961124
Without metagaming, I know that we're guaranteed to become our Darkest Self at the worst possible time.

With metagaming, I am aware that it's always on the table as a move the MC can make.

Don't make promises you know you can't keep.

>>25961265
... Um. What the fuck, man? I know we don't like Isabella but that's still over the line.

>>25960948
"Avril, I want to change things. Let me swear to you that I'll never do that to you again. I can't lose control like that again, but there's only one way I can think of to make sure I won't hurt you like that again. Can you bind me to yourself, the way you're bound to me?"

Avril nods, and you can see her smile a little sadly. "Oh, I could. I could even incorporate it into my own pledge, make it forfeit if you broke your word. But all I could really do is punish you afterwards, the next time you... did that to me. I don't think there's any such thing as an unbreakable promise. And even once more would... would be too much." The daisy quivers, very slightly, in her hand. "I'm sorry, Chris. I won't break my pledge to you. But if you don't mind, I'd like you not to come talk to me again. Please."

That... seems to be that.

[]Head to the library. Do some reading, and some thinking.
[]Find Jill and talk to her. Let her know Avril might not be at the party.
[]Other

>>25961333
You are aware that she was involved in Avril's life literally being threatened, right?

>>25961301
So basically Im still right.

We either promise to never do it, which you just admit is out of our control

Or we promise to never harm Avril like that again, which is much more in our control.

either way, we may break a promise. Im trying to minimize the gamble.

>>25961374
Still doesn't excuse rape

>>25961341
Nod once to show we understand, then this
>[x]Head to the library. Do some reading, and some thinking.

>>25961341
>[]Head to the library. Do some reading, and some thinking.

Oh boy.

>>25961393
Wouldn't excuse killing Isabella either, but would you bind us to never doing that?

>>25961341
[x]Head to the library. Do some reading, and some thinking.
Got some thinking to do. As well as making the visions come true.

>>25961341
>Other

find Isabella. I think its time we tried to seduce this woman before things get out of hand. We need to minimise her as a threat or take her as an ally

before the darker forces or Fae lords come for our head

>>25961447
Bit of a difference between 'we might end up having to kill Isabella in whatever situation' and 'let's actively plan to rape Isabella', isn't there? Do you really see those as complete moral equivalents?

>>25961447
nigga... we need to not rape anyone else, like for real

>>25961548
Thank you! I've been looking for the right words to use when you gave this good retort

>>25961548
Yes, there is a bit of a difference. For example, one of those things was mentioned in this thread and the other wasn't.

>>25961341
((Writing now))

>>25961412
we should do this
>>25961522
and then this.

>>25961638
Indeed. There's not been much discussion of killing her at all, whereas >>25961265
is pretty explicitly 'rape her'. Hence why everyone is saying 'that's fucked up'.

>>25961730
Uh, one person said that, after apparently misreading it as actively planning rape.

Kinda late, but please consider freeing Avril on the basis of not being capable of treating her how she should be treated.

We might lose grasp of her as a possession, but that's not what we should want, anyway. Having her as a friend, a partner and an ally is the best thing we could want. Unbinding her should help fixing the relationship.

>>25961341
"I don't think that will be possible. I like you way too much to do that and Isabella is plotting something with the guy who kidnapped you.
They have someone else helping them and I thought we could use some help too. Do you think I could meet your family? After all this mess is over and I'm sure you are safe, I will not talk to you until you want to talk to me again."

>>25961969
She hasn't asked to be freed, but if it comes up, yeah.

This game is supposed to involve sexuality, so we could see about setting Avril up with someone else, and if they're not interested in her, we could do something with them ourselves. There was a nice Asian lad in our one class, wasn't there?

>>25961642
You find a table and try to find something to read. It's a little hard to focus on the pages. Especially because you're still really hungry. You keep your head down and try to concentrate, though. The book is on Escher and fractals, like the one Jill was reading last Sunday. Maybe you can talk to her about fractals at the party or something.

You're about twenty minutes and fifty pages into the book, still skimming it fairly listlessly, when there's a small thud on the other side of the table. You look up to see Avril has sat down on the other side of the table. She's got a large, hard-bound book and a small notepad in front of her.

She holds up a hand as you start to open your mouth, and scribbles something down on her pad. She passes it over. It says 'Please don't say anything yet. I don't think I can deal with talking right now. I might have something that can make things safe for me.'

She shows you the tome. It talks about how some ancient druids, wanting to be sure their tribes and villages would be safe if they were incapacitated or died, would voluntarily bind pieces of their soul to powerful spirits. The spirit would take a portion of their powers from them, and hold them in trust for the druid's successor. It was rarely practiced, because it both required a highly trusted spirit, and weakened the druid by the portion of their powers they gave up. It also meant that the spirit had a great deal of influence or control over the rest of their soul.

((Cont))

>>25962163
Avril scribbles a bit more on her notepad.

‘Weakens you. The bond is stronger the more power you give up. Would be painful. Would be dangerous. But unbreakable. Not without recovering the piece of your soul.

I’m not strong enough to hold a piece of someone else’s power. But my father is.

Tomorrow night. In the woods, at the oldest tree. If you’re serious about change.’

She gets up, leaving the notepad and the book with you, and walks away.

Lunch will be ending soon. You have Geography with Jill and Masami. Considering the beating you gave Jason, it's unlikely he'll be in school today.

What do you want to do?

>>25962199
>become a soul-slave to powerful fairy creatures we dont understand the motives of.

>deliberately give up power while hungry

I dont even think this is an option really.

>>25962199
sit with the two girls and wait until after school to do last minute stuff for the party

>>25962199
Go and sit with Jill and Masami. Give Masami our adress and our number.

>>25962237
We are still young and weak. If we don't do that we'll probably be dead (again) and dead people can't control anything.
We can always try to get our soul back in the future but now? We could use some help.

>>25962237
Its a better option until we get more control.

>>25962237
Its this or piss off powerful fairy creatures we dont understand the motives of

>>25962311
>>25962334
yeah, except this is a raw deal that doesn't offer us anything except weaker powers.

We will not gain any protection or boons from doing this, its just sacrifice.

With Isabella, or that drugie, or whatever demon his ass is bound to, at our backs, being weaker is suicide.

I say we ditch the deal, and focus on winning Isabella into a friendly light.

>>25962199
I vote for sitting next to Jill during class

>>25962199
((Writing now.))

>>25962456
We are gaining Avril's trust back.

Isabella already made a deal with the slimy thing. She won't be ours. It's keep ours or become hers.

>>25962456
weaker powers and our ONLY ally back. it's worth it

>>25962456
We can talk about it with her father later

>>25962199
Give Masami directions to our house.

>>25962311
>>25962334
>>25962408
Should we tell Avril's dad about the vision we saw with Jason, Isabella, and the tentacled entity? Seems like they're gunning for us, and it's only fair that he know what's coming after us if he's holding a portion of our soul.

>>25962408
we already pissed them off by raping Avril.

Giving ourself up to them is going full retard. Do not indebt ourself to them.

>>25962480
it honestly is worth it, Avril will know we're serious, we get in good with the Fae

>>25962456
Of course it's a poor deal. It's not 'here is how to get stronger and more in control of everyone', it's 'here is what you are sacrificing to show you understand and acknowledge just how badly you fucked up, and are interested in changing'.

>>25962199
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
Something is after us, we can't weaken ourselves
Push comes to shove, we have to ditch Avril, binding ourselves to a fae creature we know nothing of isn't a good thing. Besides, our visions last time only showed us bad things, this was in the visions.

NOPE NOPE NOPE

>>25962486
>>25962480
>>25962478
The Fey cant hurt us if we don't promise anything to them.

Its safer to keep our power and deal with the Fey later.

After all the visions, how can you possibly think this is beneficial? We need our strength and our newly earned persuasiveness to charm Isabella into a friend before we waste it and back ourselves into a corner we wont be able to talk our way out of.

We can give up our soul later if it means this much to you.

>>25962474
For the love of god, don't accept this deal

>>25962478
>>25962480
>>25962486
>>25962503
Its not worth it.

We are already in bad with the Fey. This will fix nothing.

>>25962544
We can't charm her she's fucking with some kind of tentical horror.

We can talk to the fea and then decide if we are going to make a deal.

>>25962539
>>25962544
Our last set of visions were confusing and alarming, these ones we forced to be clear. And we specifically asked if there was a way to get Avril back. This is whattthey showed us.

>>25962544
because we need every fucking ally we can get, we can make beneficial deals with the Fae... we fucked up and raped Avril we NEED them on our side!

>>25962544
Being alone and "powerful" is probably worse than being weak but with more people.

Also, do you really think we can actually charm Isabella into a friend? This is already over. It's us or them.

>>25962608
>>25962600
>>25962594
>>25962587
Yes, i understand why you people are worried and cautious.

But doing this deal is no worse than making a deal with the demon we know is behind things.

We are at the point where we have to choose.
This is litterally just pick a color, red or blue

>Make a deal with the fey. Loose our power, and regain Avril's trust. The fey would forever hold our soul and we would be subject to their will. We also just raped his daughter last night

>Seduce or deal with Isabella. Best case scenario, we dominate her and gain her following. This was our objective this entire time. Worst case, we make a deal for the exact same thing in option 1.

How can you not see that Isabella is honestly the better option?

>>25962474
You sit down with Masami and Jill and make sure they have your address. You give Masami your mobile phone number as well. Jill is a little surprised when you mention that Avril probably won't be coming to the party, but you assure her that it's nothing to do with her.

You're a little distracted during class. You're still rolling Avril's proposed deal over in your head. You don't know what to think about it. And you're still very, very hungry.

Jill and Masami end up walking with you back to your house after school - Jill says she told her mother she was going straight to the library anyway, and Masami is a little worried about getting lost trying to find her way on her own. They stroll a little bit behind you, chatting lightly.

Your mother is happy to welcome them both inside, and brings out the trays of snacks she's prepared. The party is a little quiet, since you've got probably the two shyest girls in school in attendance, but the cake is clearly well appreciated. Jill is almost overwhelmed with joy at all the effort you've gone to for her sake. She takes the phone you got her with a little nervousness, but types your and Masami's numbers into it and promises to keep it safe and hidden from her mother. The books go straight into her bag - she doesn't want to spoil her party by just sitting there reading through them.

Is there anything else you'd like to say or do? You've probably got a few ideas for livening the party up a bit.

>>25962772
and at the very least, we should attempt option 1 first before we reserve ourselves to be submitted by a Fey lord.

Dont know how our dominate nature would even let us pursue such a thing. We are a creature that feeds on domination

>>25962800
Truth or Dare

cheesy, but we might either get a little playful satiation, or find out more about the mysterious girls.

>>25962813
We still have free will, surely? I mean, the whole point of this deal is to demonstrate that we're more than just a 'bundle of hungers in a human skin'.

>>25962772
Isabella's average and worst case scenarios end with us dominated right now

>>25962813
This, I know we were a nerd, but we can't go lying down a piece of our soul to the first girl that shows us some tail. There will be others.

I say we go full CE on this shit, feeding our hunger and building a power base. teegee has to many lawful good quests

>>25962844
Fuck it, why not?

>>25962869
and our "every case" scenario with the Fey is being dominated and weak.

Im only suggesting the option that cushions the blow the best.

We atleast have the possibility of coming out on top with Isabella.

Hell, you guys vote me up and get me in front of Isabella, I'll woo that icy she wolf with the power of my words. If i fuck up, I'll get us out with no attachments at the very least. Then i'll submit the point at vote for the Fey option

>>25962905
right?

Personally i was always bomb at that game. Plenty of long nights.

and now we have two perks of supernatural sexiness working for us

>>25962800
((Okay, writing now. This is getting a little draining - both because it's late and because the scenes with Avril took a big chunk out of me emotionally - but I'll keep going as long as possible.))

Truth or dare seems like a fun way to try and win the two girls lust.

We are so hungry.

hopefully one of them atleast enjoys being a sub

>>25962924
Does nobody realize that weakening ourselves we would be pleasing Arivl, which would in turn help the fey we spurred.

By ignoring that option we spur the fey making them mad.

>>25963032
I feel pretty shit for what happened to Avril too.

And I wasn't even on the quest this time to try help her.

>>25963032
I respect you for what you wrote today.

>>25963061
Most of the people are thinking about short term. They forget that we are pretty much an immortal zombie guy that NEED to have sex with Avril from time to time.

>>25963032
Hey thanks alot. If i had my way i would've retconned that whole situation.

Your patience is quite remarkable.

>>25963068
he can speak for all of us, you handled it well

After the party, make sure to get Jill to turn her phone to vibrate. We don't want her present getting found out first thing.

>>25963087
what we NEED is to be a dom.

Once we have other Hungers, we can use them to sate ourself.

>>25963061
The Fey cant hurt us without getting us to make promises. They cant hurt us unless we let them.

Supernaturally that is.

>>25963032
You suggest a few rounds of Truth or Dare. Jill is a little nervous, but when Masami happily agrees, she joins in too. The first round goes simply enough. Masami ends up dared to dance to her favourite song, which naturally turns out to be some Japanese number you can't understand a word of, and Jill tells you both that her most embarrassing moment was in the showers on Wednesday, being laughed at by everyone and not understanding what was happening to her. It sounds like talking about it here is helping her to get over it a little. Jill asks you who your first ever crush was, and you tell her about a girl you liked in primary school before you even really understood what liking a girl meant. You got about as far as going up to her at lunchtime once and saying that you liked her, then running away when she laughed.

Your turn.

((Feel free to submit a couple of questions and/or dares - I'm not going to stop and ask you for a new option every time it goes round to you, with only three players in the game.))

>>25963149
Sating one hunger not necessarily sate all the others.

>>25963149
We raped his daughter. Fey have done more damage from smaller things. If we don't try to make it right we can end up like Oedipus's father.

>>25963149
if one chooses, they could see a rape as a bargain with only one side. we currently owe the Fae one side of a bargain with no set limitations. let's fix that, yeah?

>>25963188
Does Masami have any crushes? Make Jill dance.

>>25963188
Truth
Bra sizes, a staple.
First guy they liked
How attractive everyone finds each other

Dare
Kiss
Clothing removal
Tell a secret

>>25963188
Who was Jill first crush? Do Jill like someone nowadays? What is Masami's darkest secret.

[X] What sin would Jill like to commit the most?

Btw, we totally should accept a dare.

>>25963225

I vote against sleeping until we do something about Avril, I fear fae.

>>25963225
>>25963230
well i say we join the other side.

Get in with Isabellas crew. We would have more than enough protection and resources to handle the Fey with a demon to make deals with.

I dont think we are ever going to agree with where we should take this character

A note on the sacrifice issue: we are all about Control. Control of ourselves and our Hunger is still Control. Also, the Fae do NOT like accepting something without a bargain. As in, giving up a chunk of our power to them is not asking a boon of them, it is attempting to give them a debt (it's potentially beneficial to us, but still). So, among deciding about the sacrifice, we should decide what and how we should ask. And if what we request is of benefit to them as our loss is beneficial to us, then that's useful. And given what Avril has said of her parents, possibly quite expected.

I vote for always doing the dare

truth is far to valuable to just hand out anybody

>>25963316
this. instead, begin making apology gifts. the deal prevents future fuckups, but that doesn't excuse what we did

>>25963188

"so Masami, have you ever done anything scandalous on school grounds? A beautiful girl like you is probably propositioned at the very least."

>>25963324
no FTFY! this is a terrible idea! she'll control us, no fucking free will, and without Avril she doesn't want us. We get in with the Fae, make bargains, get protected and prove that we're more than what we said we were

>>25963230
I think the point Avril was making was that she didn't want the existing bargain to get worse. As in, for better or worse, that might already be within the scope of the bargain. It might be worth knowing if there is a debt, but asking seems particularly callous and risking finding this out at her parents possibly terminally stupid.

>>25963328
remember that time we raped a fey lords daughter?

We have nothing to gain from this deal, we are already in debt.

>>25963188
((Okay, writing now.))

>>25963324
you don't seem to get supernatural deals
>Fey-mutually beneficial with a general lean in the Fae's favor. you get EXACTLY what you ask for

>Demon- screw you over and make you lose everything. Will give you what you want in a terrible way
TLDR: no deals with demons

>>25963394
No though! Its a terrible idea. The Fey will control us, no fucking free will, and without Isabella we have no real influence. We get in with Isabella, make bargains, get protected and prove that we are the rightful king of all we survey.

>>25963324

Remember the whole wanting our blood thing. Those demons. Remember our first vision where we ended up with glassy eyes. That was isabella.

Nothing good comes from people like that. They want to control us and everyone else. They want to hurt our friends.

>>25963455
see>>25963443

>>25963443
And you seem to have bad luck making deals. There is nothing mutually beneficial about the Fey deal. We owe them.

The demon deal on the other hand, we walk into with an even scale. We only take bargains we want, and only gain power we can afford.

Thats the beauty of it. It's all business, and we can set the terms. With the Fey, we only have one option, and i dont like those terms.

Plus, i find the Isabella option more.... thrilling

>>25963455
She is a queen. She has no need for a king. All we will end up doing with her is becoming muscle for her as well as getting the scraps of her picks.

I agree that making deals with Demons is retarded, but until we settle the score with the fae I suggest staying awake for safety reasons.

>>25963455
The Fey won't control us. They will have a great influence over us but not absolute control.
And like Avril said "But unbreakable. Not without recovering the piece of your soul." which means we can always recover our soul on the future.

>>25963535
we can at least agree to a meet up and discuss the terms, we just have to make a deal that would insure our safety.

>>25963554
Queen is not as good as Ghoul at dominating a person. The only reason we don't have Isabella under our thumb right now is because everyone seems to vote for playing it safe.

A Queen is a provider of many, but Master of none.
A Ghoul is a puppeteer of specific targets.

Ghoul vs. Queen, we win 75% of the time. Then we have her like we did Avril, and we have her whole flock. We make the deals.

Demons are just like the Fey, except they wear a different uniform. We only need to take the bargains we are comfortable with. We will not be taken advantage of without our consent.

But the fey, already own a debt of ours. We will be up shit creek from the start.

I bet the Fey have been playing us this whole time anyways. Remember how we only barely managed to not become bound to Avril in the first place? Now she has plenty of reason to turn on us.

>>25963421
Things start going fairly rapidly round the circle - you ask Masami her darkest secret, to which she insists on taking a dare instead. Jill blushes massively when you dare her to take off a piece of clothing, and starts to protest, but Masami grins and takes off her socks. For her turn she goes straight back to you, daring you to hold Jill's hand for a minute. Neither of you find it nearly as thrilling as she seems to. If this were a cartoon, steam would be coming out of her ears, from how red she's gone by the end of the minute.

Not wanting to make the game just between the two of you, you ask Jill who her first crush was. She shyly admits it was you - you're basically the only boy she's ever talked to much at all. She quickly turns to Masami, and insists that even if Masami won't say what her darkest secret is, surely she can admit *some* sort of secret, just to the two of you. Masami dutifully admits that swimming is a guilty pleasure for her - it's the only part of P.E. she'd really like to take part in, if she could.

Masami seems to be coming out of her shell fairly rapidly now. Jill stammeringly admits her bra size to her (a quite respectable C cup) and turns the same question on Masami (an AAA cup. You didn't know they did those.)

Eventually you ask Masami how attractive she finds everyone in the room. Jill is first confused and then very embarrassed when Masami says that both of you are extremely pretty to her.

Any more questions or dares for them?

>>25963715
yes, we owe them a debt. let's pay it off

>>25963715

are you our inner tyrant?

>>25963768
Jill kiss us, Masami kiss Jill

>>25963768
Why Masami likes hands so much? Have she hold hands with any other bou or Chris is the only lucky boy?

Dare one girl to tickle the other one.

>>25963782
with what?
our lives?

fuck off m8 or ill slap you right in the gob you would have to be retarded to accept any deal from the fae right now.

>>25963768
Ask Jill when (Or if) this crush stopped,
Ask Japy why she ask take part in P.E

>>25963785
I think he's meta gaming a little much. Personally I think the safe option is not trusting a chick that is somehow able to hire bouncers and thugs to kidnap girls. Remember they were about to kill her before we talked them into letting her go.

>>25963850
can't take part*

>>25963715
>still thinking Isabella is queen

She is a custom skin with queen and witch powers combined. I'm calling it now.

>>25963768
Since she's hinted she's bi, we can ask Masami if she's ever had a relationship with a girl. Or just what her last relationship was.

Also, Masami's most embarrassing moment (could be interesting) and Jill's darkest secret, using Jill's *some* secret/moment idea if either of them don't want to say.

Also, this >>25963820 dare one of them to kiss the other.

Also, dark secret, can't swim? Totally a robot.

>>25963785
Nah, he's a Darkest Self.

Only good can come from listening to him.

>>25963875
Can't anyone take a few abilities from other skins?

>>25963875
I'm suspecting Cassandra is her pet Witch.

>>25963782
stubborn huh? I like it.

>>25963785
I honestly just think its the better option.
I used to have dreams all the time about making deals with the devil, and trying to work it in my favor.Probably because my band sold out when i was in college. Contract law is fun

>>25963847
I meant with this unbreakable binding, ya ninny. at least we hear it out see if its worse than Avril said

>>25963715
>>25963875
((Guys, if you're going to metagame, please use spoiler tags.))

>>25963882
((Masami can swim, and apparently likes to do. She just can't take part in P.E. swimming lessons.))

>>25963927
Ask why she can't do P.E

>>25963927
I'm sorry.

>>25963768
((Okay, writing. I'm going to have to finish up within a couple of posts, sorry guys. It's nearly 5am here.))

>>25963927
Masami seems like a fun girl

Target aquired

>>25963927
Yeah, she can swim, just not in PE when people might see how she needs plastic bags to protect her joints from the water.

>>25963927
So...she's a mermaid? Does this mean she does it like a fish? Because if so, that...yeah I have no idea what to think about that

I vote to break off out relationship with the fae for now and pursue a deal with Isabella, we are in to deep with fae and to resolve the conflict with them we would have to give them a great part of our power.

>>25964016
no need to apologise, you've gonna above and beyond tonight

>>25964057
Possible Selkie?

but yeah, Lets see if we can dare Masami into a kiss.

>>25964084
I agree

>>25964108
as much as it pains me I can not

>>25964084

the voice of reason

>>25964084
Honestly, I think this is a terrible idea. How the hell is she supposed to protect us from the inevitable Fae hunt? Because if we don't make it up to the Fae, you bet your ass they're going to come after us.

>>25964147
Its not reason. We don't know what we stand to gain or truly lose by making a deal with the fae. But trying to make a deal with the devil or demons almost never works. Especially for somebody like us.

>>25964147
voice of reason would be deals bad

>>25964084

I agree to listen to any offers Isabella has, and whatever deal the fae has to offer us.

>>25964084

If we seduce Isabella before making the deal with the Fae, then great! Otherwise, we get Avril back without Isabella.

ANd for fuck's sake, no deals with the devil.

>>25964209
>>25964206
>>25964202

fine but don't blame us when the fae kill us in our sleep or makes us a slave

>>25964272
as pointed out by some people earlier, they don't have to. we owe them a debt

>>25964272
Better than waking up chained to a wall in some dark basement waiting for food from our mistress Isabella.

>>25964016
You ask Masami why she doesn't take part in P.E. She insists it's a much too boring answer for a proper Truth-or-Dare question - she just has a skin condition, and besides, changing in front of the other girls would be far, far too embarrassing. So you ask another question: what was her most embarrassing moment? She tells you that when she was younger, the first time she went to church, she mistook one of the door attendants for the high priest, because he was just so tall. She bowed so deeply to him that half her family laughed at her, and she spent that whole service and the next two barely daring to look at anyone The way she's telling it, she must have a pretty large family.

Masami takes the chance to ask Jill her darkest secret. Jill looks around a little nervously, and insists on whispering, even though there's no-one else remotely near you. She says that sometimes she worries that her mother's right about the Devil tempting the weak, because she's noticed that occasionally, when she's very angry with her mother or wrapped up in doubt, things nearby will shake or quiver. She's not sure what that means, but it can't be good. Masami seems very dubious of the whole thing.

Finally you dare Jill to kiss Masami. Both of them go bright red, but then Jill haltingly proclaims that kissing another girl isn't like kissing a boy, and goes in for the kiss. When she's done, both of them seem a little bit distracted, and not up for many more questions or dares.

((Cont))

>>25964311
Isabella is a terrible idea. period.

>>25964329
Glad someone agrees.

>>25964329
Deals with the devil are never worth it in the end. And we owe Avirl for what we have done, otherwise the Wild Hunt will be on our ass.

>>25964317
Masami tells you that now that she's walked here from school, she'll have no problem finding her way back to her house, so she heads home alone, and you escort Jill most of the way to her house, remembering to show her how to switch her mobile onto silent mode.

Tuesday will be English, History, Physics and Maths again. You don't have any classes with either Avril or Isabella today, although you have History and Maths with Jill.

Is there anything you want to say to Jill? Do you want to try and seek out Avril or Isabella at lunch, or possibly Masami?

>>25964219
OK

Fine, I cant very well preach about making deals for power with the demon, if Im against listening to the terms of the Fey.

But I will not budge that we need to start doing some serious work with Isabella. This whole Fey thing is entertaining, but the real power is on Isabella's side.

We cant not afford to woo her. She is either with us or against us, and as long as we keep putting it off we are in much more danger than the Fey can do to us.

>>25964317
Oh fuck. I already know what Jill is. Very well played.
And the vision! I love you.

>>25964399
avril, jill and Masami. text avril first and ask if she's comfortable with this

>>25964406
((Thank you. I'm still honestly surprised no-one freaked out the moment Jill's surname first came up..))

>>25964400
I thought it was made very clear that she's against us already, from the setup at the party, to what we said to her, to the deal she's made in order to get us.
I don't see how we can offer her anything that will break her deal with the demon.

>>25964400
I can see merit in what you're saying, but do you remember what happens the moment we fuck Isabella? it's essentially game over

>>25964426
What is Jill's surname? Didn't pay attention to that.

>>25964400
I think it's pretty obvious that Isabella is against us. We saw her and Jason dealing with an unknowable entity. We've challenged Isabella in her own home, and we just beat up Jason and denied him the thing his master was demanding of him. Neither of them has any reason to want anything good for us, or to believe we come in good faith even if we do approach them with a deal. The die is cast.

>>25964399
Ask Jill how she enjoyed the party.
Also, give Avril her space; don't go looking for her. If she wants to talk with us, she'll come to us.

Finally, we may as well talk with Isabella, if only to find out what she's made a deal to get from us.

>>25964400
Issy is with the god damned mother fucking demons! She is straight up against us. Wooing her is not an option. Killing or breaking her is the only option.

>>25964456
I agree with you.

But perhaps an unqualified failure with Isabelle is what is required for those that think we should make a deal with demons, or that she can be sufficiently seduced to betray her own pact with demons, to finally realize that she cannot be negotiated with.

>>25964456
please if anything they will respect us, we did what had to be done to show our strength to them now we can approach the table from a position of power.

>>25964399
>Seek out Isabella at lunch.

We finally get to go on the offensive. Hehe

Lets find her, and see what she says about everything we think we know. Time to ask the tough questions to her face.

"So what do you want from me?"
"Did you send those goons for me over the weekend?"
"Explain your connection to what i saw happening with Cassandra"

And then we provoke her interest while she has her guard shook.

"You are getting in way over your head and you know that dont you? You are being quite the naughty girl.... You know what happens to bad girls? They get a spanking."

>>25964439
((It came up in thread number 4. It's 'White'.))

>>25964399

go talk with Isabella and talk, if we like what we hear we can set of a meeting.

>>25964512
When this fails horribly, I will laugh at you and the people who agreed with you.

>>25964555
With risk comes progress.

>>25964555

hey we are just trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

Its like you want our power to be sealed off and for us to become a slave.

>>25964502
What do we have that the demons don't?
>>25964512
What makes you think that she will talk with us here or anywhere were she doesn't have a complete advantage.

>>25964512
I like the general idea of rattling her cage, but let's have someone who isn't clumsy and stupid write the plan instead.

>>25964399
((Three votes to talk to Isabella, no more than two for anyone else. Writing now. This will almost certainly be the last post of tonight. There will be a thread tomorrow, although it may be a little late and/or a little short, as I can't keep up this kind of schedule forever, and hopefully one on Sunday.))

>>25964570
Sure worked well for Faust right?

>>25964587
and that's why we talk to her here retard, if she refuses we break off negotiations.

>>25964587
Thats exactly why we approach her.

chances are she is pretty afraid of us right now.

>>25964609
Jeeeeez. No need to insult. This sort of bold faced confrontation works for me almost everytime. Swear to god, nobody knows how to be a mover and shaker anymore...

>>25964613
Remember the first thing she wanted from us was for us to do her homework. When we came back she wanted us to give her Avril, just to punish her for not accepting her invitation.

Has everyone forgotten about Zack and Apollo? You know, the probable werewolf and vampire? One of which is definitely working with Isabella? I mean metawise, we've made it clear that the thread isn't going for the gay, but they could still be useful.

>>25964657
She likely just secured a deal with a demon, why would she be afraid of us right now?

>>25964677
I keep trying to bring that point up but I keep getting hurr durr we woo her and get powa from her and take place as Da king.

>>25964677
because we trashed five grown men who also work for the demon.

and are about to come up to her out of her element and bear our teeth

>>25964708
We beat up 2,two,zwei guys. Not five. Two.

>>25964708
Are we going to beat her up? At school? If not, what do we have to threaten her with? We'll beat her up later? When she has her entire crew of brainwashed servants, and a demon in her corner, and we have- what? One Fae, who we've estranged? We have nothing to bargain with, and nothing to threaten.

>>25964708
In school, surrounded by cronies, is not out of her element.

>>25964744
>>25964749

These gits get it.

>>25964734
and only just barely, we are in no fucking position to outright challenge her at this point, and doing so is fucking absurd

>>25964744
but she doesnt know that.

>>25964677
That actually brings up a good point. When it comes down to ripping and tearing, how well does our "species" stack up against other supernatural heavy hitters? I've seen a lot of stuff suggesting that we're more manipulative than fisticuffs and we didn't kill/maim Jason.

>>25964793
regardless of that, we're a scrawny little fucker in no shape to take on any 1 individual in a fair fight

>>25964811
Well then, we better get working on those squats and oatz then.

>>25964791

Whose fucking guards were following Jason you dense motherfucker! The same FUCKING BODY BUILDING THUGS FROM THE PARTY!

>>25964793
Well, really, our biggest advantage in that arena is the move that lets us re-resurrect when we die. That lets us make infinite suicide runs, which goes a long way towards evening the odds.

>>25964791
Why shouldn't she know that? We know Jason's goons dragged him off, but did they do it before or after seeing us start to rape Avril? How do we know the demon bankrolling them both didn't acquire the information through whatever arcane means of it's own? And so far the only threat we've been able to back up is the threat of violence, which she CANNOT FAIL to know we cannot leverage at school, and she's not stupid enough to go anywhere without her cronies outside of school. We have nothing.

>>25964838
((Just as a small point of world description here, the thugs with Jason weren't at the party. They were all grown men, probably over 30, and the party was all students from various years (i.e. ages 12-18). ))

>>25964793
We're in the top range, but Demon dealers can get sick bonuses out of their deals, and werewolves will wipe the floor with us. Most non fighters we can take physically. Manipulation wise, we're the best one on one, but Queen will fuck us with large groups, and vampires are a close second to us, with Fae being utter bastards to go against if we don't get an early advantage like we had against Avril.

>>25964853
Where do we re-spawn when we die? Do we reform on the spot? In a dark and dank hole we marked? Next to some special object we imbued with power?

>>25964885

Ok that clears that up. when your described it I thought they were the guys you described from the party that where blocking the stairs.

>>25964896
I believe that is a perk we havn't taken yet

>>25964896

we low level man we don't got that shit yet

>>25964926
>>25964954

I was asking the guy >>25964853
that said we had that power if we actually knew anything about that in character.

>>25964954
We could have gotten it instead of our last level up. Hell, we could have gotten it instead of our FIRST level up.

>>25964974
and we should tottally take it next time we advance

We can make all sorts of awesome deals like that.

"You give me x, and i'll serve you until the day i die. Sounds fair right?"

>>25964893
Dang. I thought we were maybe middle of the road. That makes the physical upgrade option much more attractive. And if it works like superstrength, being able to hit like a truck while looking like a pencil would be a nice trick to have

>>25965066

dying with rebirth doesn't break that deal.

>>25964610
You make a point of seeking out Isabella at lunch. She's surrounded by a group of followers as usual, although it seems like Cassandra is a little farther from Isabella than she usually is. It's hard to tell in the mix and movement of the group, though.

You push your way past a couple of the outlying people, eliciting a few complaints, until you find yourself face to face with Isabella. She's leaning upon Apollo, who looks as blank and uncaring as ever, and smiles as she sees you. It's not a nice smile.

"Well, well. It's good to see you, Chris. I knew you couldn't stay away forever."

"Good afternoon, Isabella. Had any more thoughts about that question I asked you on Thursday?"

"My heart's desire? Oh, but the problem is that I have far more than one, you see. I simply wouldn't know what to pick. And new, interesting things keep popping up. You, for example. You're very interesting indeed. Bold, strong. Presumptuous, though. Was that the only thing you wanted to talk to me about? I'm sure you have some interesting books to read or something." Her followers chuckle along obediently.

"Not quite the only thing, no. There's obviously things you want from me. And I think you know there are things I want from you, aren't there? As long as neither of us gets too.. 'presumptuous', I was thinking we might be able to come to an arrangement."

Isabella smiles. "Now that's more like the sort of thing I want to hear. I can promise you, it'll be the deal of your life."

>>25965165
((It is currently gone dawn here.. The thread is archived at http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Monsterhearts%20Quest. Go vote. I'll see you all at about 18:30GMT tomorrow.))

>>25965165

now I want you to know i'm not agreeing to anything, but I am willing to listen to terms you understand?

>>25965197

welp can we retort in the next thread?

>>25965165
It's nice to have a GMT quest, good night fellow britfag

>>25965165
we should hear out her side of the deal and go "lol, you got notin' I want bitch" and walk away

>>25965197
thanks for the awesome 2-parter tonight!

>>25965197
Get some rest, MC. Thanks for the double thread. This stuff can't have been fun to write.

>>25965165
> it'll be the deal of your life.
Welp. That's not ominous at all.

>>25965165
Oh yes. This is perfect.

We are primed for an arrangement and get to set the terms.

>>25965289
Oh, you really think so? With how she's already been said to not completely honor agreements, and how Jason's debts were far in excess of his rendered services?

>>25965165
We're so fucked.
Don't let on that we lost Avril for as long as possible, but we need to be ready to make some concessions, otherwise we are going to be lucky to stay alive even as a slave. Also, if Cassandra is acting distant we need to act soon, seeing as she's likely a witch working with Isabella who has now been replaced by Isabella's new sugar daddy.

>>25965197
Thanks for the cool quest and your effort op.

>>25965343
well yeah, we just have to be tactful.

Isabella is very social smart. She knows how to swing a deal i'm sure. Meeting her on equal ground in an arrangement is great, but I think the key to actually getting anywhere productive with this is finding a way to dominate her.

We've taken two perks that allow us to better seduce people. We should be using that on literally every person we meet.Otherwise why bother choosing them?

We need to charm this woman. We have the capability. We need to make her want to assist us. We dont have to sleep with her, but we should become her best friend at the very least. Isabella is in an interesting spot right now because she has recently suffered a series of small annoyances. She knows we are responsible for Avril also. We have presence.

If we act like we have all the cards, then she might start to believe it in combination with our supernatural seduction and persuasion.

>>25965683
Except that she's already made a deal with a demon to get us for it. You want to get her to renege on a deal with a demon.
I don't think that's at all likely.

>>25965357
>Don't let on that we lost Avril
It seems pretty evident, since we didn't came with her now while we brought her in the earlier trap party.

>>25962521 >>25963061
The actions we took, that got Anon to say "you didn't puke, therefore you don't realise what you have done" were all about taking care of her. I think being all awkward was the only thing we could do.

And I'm still upset that she came up to us on her knees after the fight, instead of running away. I mean, we were supposed to have rolled a success and look a little angry. So beta of her.

Why would we get in a deal that reduces our might, when we try to use it to help her?

And wtf now. The only deal we want with Isabella is to not feed on each other cattle. And we've seen she isn't flying solo, so no deal. We don't want some "give me protection" deal, since that implies we expose what we'd want protection from. Then she would have got us, by getting everything from us to not get kidnapped and delivered to this threat.

TLDR: Don't tell her you need protection. So don't make a deal.

>>25967122
I honestly don't see why everyone wants to make some sort of deal with Isabella at this stage, I see us in a position to gain nothign and lose everything for no reason

>>25967224
I guess that's what we get when people vote for "talk to who" then decide what to say.

Avril doesn't seem too mad, just don't talk to me. We could try to starve/control our hunger, as one Anon suggested. We still don't know how this thing works.

>>25967321
and instead, because they don't know what to do and are bored, they decide to go punch a dragon in the face...

almost as bad as the players in GQ

>>25967375
>>25964610 said
>Three votes to talk to Isabella, no more than two for anyone else

Uh, the ones oppositng this should probably have given a clear
>[x] not Isabella

>>25967224
Cause the rest of them think a deal with the devil will set us free instead of being men and facing the repucussions.

This entires nights story went downhill from the moment we decided to fight. Now everyone's worries and that makes us vulnerable. We're doing stupid things to try and cling onto power.

Face it /tg/ ya dun goofed. Now can we start doing the right thing. I don't want to become a thrall to an elder god.

The stag man is the team to bat for. He'll until the rape. Everything on their side was going well. A binding with her father won't enslave us. But Isabella sure will before we know it.

Guys, no need to keep bumping when the session's over.

>>25968153
Seconded.
Let's set a good example.

>>25967999
Yeah, the binding with Avril's dad will set us back, but its progress in the right direction, and its something we can build upon

However, Isabella just screams bad ideas all around, making a deal with her is a fucking terribad decision and I just hope i'm there at the start of the next thread to hopefully steer this trainwreck away from the orphanage

>>25968283
You and me both.

For justice!

>>25968283
Isn't an orphanage the best place a train could wreck, considering they have no families to mourn them anyway?

>>25968283
The deal with the father indeed sounds like "loose a level". We need to trust the father, but his daughter swore herself to us, so that might give him a reason to avoid been an asshole. It feels like a correct deal. I think we should try and talk to her father, to see if he is ok doing that, and if he's a complete freak.

>>25969278
sorry, forgot my sage

>>25969278
well, thats what I assume the whole, find the oldest tree tomorrow night at the park thingy is about, it lines up with the vision we had

Okay, caught up, more or less.
Now I feel even more awful about the way we escalated things.

You're really good at this.

No shit, dying made him a psychopath, or close.

>>25971119
Wanting to fight was a real bad decision.

>>25971316
We could have stopped it by taking harm or string, but it ended up being the option that only increased the mess.

I hope we didn't frustrate MH too much.
I'd hate if he stopped running because of this.

>>25971342
>We could have stopped it by taking harm or string.
I'm still not convinced, those options seemed to imply Chris and him get one hit (physical or mental). And to imply the brawl goes on afterward, with his mate closing on us.

>>25971416
It was an ugly dilemma to put it mildy, but at the very least we wouldn't have hurt the only person close enough to be full trusthworthy.

just going to point this out-unless it kills you, physical damage is almost always the best choice. Especially if its just some bruises, like it was

>>25973533
plus if we take the return from the dead or the satiety perks then it has even less value as either Harm can't kill us and/or we heal real fast.
