You saw the punch coming - and had dodged it neatly by simply leaning to the side - but you didn't see the padded, studded knee hurtling towards your gut.

It hurt. It wasn't the sort of searing, burning pain that lanced right through your core when Lucius managed that lucky stab, but it tasted all the same, and knocked the wind right out of you. You stagger back here, coughing, trying your best not to spew your breakfast down the front of your costume - when the other punch clocks you clean in your jaw, knocking your Warmaster Cap clean off your head and your cigarette flying. You taste your own blood in your mouth - twice in as many days - as you watch your cigarette land on the tiled elevator floor with a scattering of embers, dying pathetically there.

"Take it back." Yuma snarls at you, her helmet vox turning the threat into a rough-edged snarl. The Culexus advancing towards you with both gloved hands held up and curled into fists. Reminding you of a blue-haired Eversor that seemed to go into automatic Bitch Mode whenever she sensed you being in the same fucking building. "Take it back, you bitch."

Heh. This is almost nostalgic.

How do you react?

He does sound like a pretty cool guy, yeah.

>>28050504
I'm assuming, "Just how fucked in the head is she?" I get the feeling Yuma is quite taken by her at this point.

Anyhoo. One punch we can let pass, getting kneed is just us being lazy, but the second punch is too far. She killed our cig and knocked off the cap.

As much as I want to be on good terms with her, we are the Warmaster. This shit does not fly.

Once(if) we get her onto the ground. We can present an ultimatum. Either she works with us here and she helps us talk to Girl A with as little friction as possible. Or she gets to stand at the door while we walk in, eldritch abomination that haunts her dreams in tow.

>>28050475

>>28050522

Damn bad Yuu is still asleep. A blistering straight with the murdergauntlets might show her how to throw punches.

It's a pity we can't shoot her, because she really fucking deserves it right now. Damn suit, breaking it would only give her an advantage.

>>28050475
Jab, leg sweep, pin her to the floor.
I'm here for information, and instead of information you give me violence.
You want to help the girl in there? You best stop fucking up while you are still in a position to help ANYONE.

>>28050554

This.

She gets this one punch. No more.

>>28050475
Pick it up...please.

Firm but polite, tough shit, she's the one who betrayed her officio. We're her boss and you're not supposed to punch your boss, Sallaka included.

We're not going to go down and murder this other Girl A, just have a polite conversation. So lighten up a little maybe loosen your suit a bit, it's clearly chafing.

>>28050567

>>28050577
I don't think her Culexus powers are going to be much of an advantage over Chiaki. We're inflicted worse hangovers on ourselves.

>>28050583
She got two punches and a kick. So I guess it's time to discipline a subordinate for the first time.

A missed punch is still a punch.

>>28050475
[x] Sweep the legs, grab her by the ankles, give her a piledriver. Then tell her we're sorry for whatever we've said to offend her, but we really need to know what's up with Girl A and don't have time for this.

You're quibbling over minor details.

Thr point remains that on a 1 to 1 basis she is still more valuable by dint of her rank and we want to have at least a decent working relationship.

[x] "Watch it, Omegon. It's true that she betrayed her former comrades, and her having been driven crazy is a logical conclusion."

Goddamnit, she's the only Culexus we have left, and we had to go and antagonize her at every opportunity.

Since this fight seems to be going down, remember one thing. This is a leader calmly and appropriately disciplining a subordinate that went to far. Not a tired alcoholic who has a bruised ego lashing out.

With Chiaki, it's pretty much all or nothing.

At this point, I'm not convinced that she isn't involved with the prophet, and we need to let her know that this shit isn't going to fly. Killing is out of the question, but she still needs to be taken down and reminded of who we are.

The deagle isn't a fucking .22. Normal deagles are already pretty high caliber. Ours blows legs off. Granted we CAN have that healed, but it will mean we can't talk to Girl A since we kind of need Yuma to be there. No shooting.

>>28050710

Time isn't really a factor here. Every time we talk to QB about her he goes on and on about how special and important she is, especially since she is the last Culexus we have. Fuck him, she's out of control.

>>28050725
Sweater puppies on my cat...boner what do we do I'm pleasantly confused

I dont think shes being coddled.

>>28050710
Yuma sounds like a case that has been allowed to steam in her own misery for too long. It has gotten to the point where her prevalent emotion is blatant distaste or outright hatred towards anyone even remotely involved with Malal's death, us and Kharn at the forefront. Looks like she doesn't even give a shit what happens to her as long as she gets to prove a point, hence the point.

She's fucking dangerous. A loose cannon. If the Prophet were to offer her a chance to get back at us, Pinky and Kharn, I bet she'd jump at it. We shoul be prepared to put a bullet through her skull at the first signs of betrayal, only Culexus or not.

>>28050750
This is why we pull out a .22 long rifle, then beat her about the head with it.

Lower calibers is fine, right?

If anyone else tried suckerpunching us for asking a question, we'd probably kneecap them for insubordination. -Or probably punch them into a wall.

The people who we wouldn't blow the kneecaps off are our trusted circle who wouldn't suckerpunch us, and Sayaka. And we won't kneecap Sayaka because we've got an agreement with her that she's supposed to slap us upside the head if we're really doing something stupid.

Suckerpunching your boss just once is "out of control". Try it in your job and see how fast you get fired, or "retired".

You don't seem to understand how military organizations work when it comes to individual conduct and rank.

All personal are expected to act appropriately at ALL TIMES. Their superiors act on that assumption so they can make appropriate decisions.

Yuma has FAILED to maintain her composure on the Second highest ranking official in this Officio. Worse still she struck that official.

>And we're making her eventual betrayal all the more likely by antagonizing her at every single opportunity.
What's important isn't kicking the shit out of her, though getting a kick in would be appropriate.

What IS important is telling her that we're asking about her friend's mental health because WE CARE about not making her freak out. We don't give a shit if she's mentally unstable, considering we, Kharn, Sayaka, and goddamn 3/4 of the officio is fucked in the head - anyone who's a magical girl's mentally unstable.

What we need to impress on her is that we're not out to terrorise her friend, even if we're not letting her get off easy for assaulting us. -And we really shouldn't let her get off for doing that.

>>28050858
There's also the fact that she's wearing a helmet, too.

>>28050831
We're not a military, we're a corporation run by an alien cat that does things his way and not yours.

>>28050869
And that's why we kick the shit out of her instead of writing her up on a court martial. And meanwhile tell her why she shouldn't overreact to simple questions.

>>28050852

L-lewd

>>28050869
The reasoning is still the same, regardless. Someone who flies off the handle and assaults a superior over an offhand comment is a liability and should be punished for it. If she were to pull this shit on a mission she could endanger everyone involved.

>>28050819

What line of service does the Officio provide? It's combat related services.

Tempers can flare and when it comes down to it, training and instincts can kick in and fights DO happen, especially in the military.

>>28050831

Yes, you are expected to act appropriately at all times. SO IS THE COMMANDING OFFICER. Getting pulling into the fight is NOT appropriate conduct for an officer. There is brig time, or court martial, or in the case of the officio, likely docked pay.

However, it is not always necessary to invoke these sanctions. Especially if both parties serve in combat together. The informal approaches work to help smooth things out and not leave bad blood between them which might come back to bite at a very bad time.

No, this offico has order. We're not the rabbits. We have rules that need to be followed. It might not be a military in the literal terms. But there is a specific kind of conduct that is to be followed. Even Sayaka got reprimanded for kicking murderface when she was Girl A.

>>28050883

Even in the military, special exceptions are made for outstanding individuals. Hence why we're not killing her.

For when she asks us to take back calling her fucked in the head:

"What, are you implying that any of us AREN'T fucked in the head? Its part of the fucking job! You're fucked in the head! Enishi's fucked in the head! Malal had to be fucked in the head to put up with Kharn's shit for so long, and even Mami's fucked in the head, though she manages to hide it damned well! And evidently I'm fucked in the head more than I thought, because here I was thinking that I could have a civil fucking conversation with you!"

>>28050904
>not leave bad blood between them which might come back to bite at a very bad time.
Yeah, that's true. But of two conversations we've had with Yuma, we've been a cunt to her in both. Not because we meant to be a cunt to her, but because we didn't take into consideration what we've been told about her.
Like asking a blind man to go watch the fireworks, or a diabetic who's also lactose intolerant if they'd like to have some ice scream with everyone else.

>>28050920

NECO is best girl

>>28050930

I suspect that Kharn would disagree. There's no glory in taking the skull of someone who can't fight back, after all.

>>28050869
And she swung at us three times, two of which connected. We may not be officially military, but even in the civilian world, three swings and its no longer a corprate issue, its legal self-defence, to get police involved with. And we certainly aren't getting them involved.

You do not swing at your Commanding Officer.
Doesn't matter if you hate them, or think they deserve it.
Likewise, as a CO you cannot let this shit go un-dealt with.

Finally, in an Officio of Magical Girls known for their propensity for violence and outright murder, we are NOT going to be the Warmaster that got beat up by her subordinates and then hit them with paperwork after the fact, we deal with this NOW.

>>28050967
>she didn't exactly hate murderface.
She didn't hate Murderface before.
She dislikes us now because of our actions.

>>28050962
It may be in character to be a cunt to everyone, intentionally or not. But if people are going to go with that explanation, then they shouldn't try to defend their actions with pleas of ignorance.

>>28050883
>>28050904
>>28050941
All right, then. We hold an informal grievance meeting. Its clear she's got something of a grievance and it should be aired, as well as her emotional state. (her punching us)

So we reassure her in regards to our previous comment ie the head-fuckingness.

Then we ensure she keeps in line by giving an unofficial reprimand; IE kicking her shit in just a little, and remind her to try and keep things in check.

>>28050975
of course, Kharn would also take yuma's actions as an invitation to fight, so the point is moot.

>>28050522 >>28050549 >>28050562 >>28050590

It's times like these that you surprise yourself. After how you reduced Lucius and her two goons to paste back at the stadium, you thought you'd be at least tapped out temporarily with the whole 'murderous aggression' thing.

Turns out you're not.

Yes, you knew you were going to smash your cranium into what should be bulletproof plexiglass and whatever kind of material they made the helmet part of the Anima Speculum nowadays.

But even as it felt like a thousand blinding migraines happening all at once in a split second as your forehead connected with the uppermost curve of her helmet, the squawk of hurt surprise issuing from Yuma's vox sounded like it was worth it. The gasp that she wheezed out when you returned her gut-check with one of your own pure music to your ears.

As she herself staggers back - leaning against the wall of the elevator - it's here that you draw the Golden Desert Eagle from your inventory, the cold metal of the oversized firearm immediately growing warm in your grasp. But instead of undoing the safety and blasting out her kneecaps - as instinct and something else entirely tugged at your every cell in your body to do so - you toss the gun up into the air to catch it by its barrel instead. Moving towards the stunned Culexus all the while. A small, thin smile curling your lips.

Your first hit crashes against her visor, snapping her head to the side. The second, delivered on the backswing, slaps against the side of her helmet with a solid crack, and it's here that bits of polished, curved plexiglass clatter to the floor like broken teeth spilling from a freshly kicked-in mouth. The third and final one crunches down from above, sending her sprawling on her hands and knees in front of you. Almost as if you'd sent her into that position by design, to look as if she's begging for forgiveness.

So... poor conduct.

We're not Kharn anyway. Kharn would accept a sucker punch as a challenge.

>>28050998
....mayby it's foreplay?

>>28051000

The fallen Culexus is still coughing, trying to gasp for breath from earlier. Sucking in shallow, painful breaths. Cursing you in between wheezing gasps.

"It's not...it's not fair," You finally make out, after she manages to breathe properly again. "She's suffered...she's suffered enough already. She doesn't deserve to suffer you again."

How do you respond?

[]Help her up. Ask her what she means.
[]Step on her helmet, press her visor against the floor, and tell her that you're not in the mood. You're her Warmaster, and she does what's asked of her. You will not tolerate insubordination.
[] Other.

[x] Tell her we won't tolerate any further subordination, then help her up. "Well, maybe if you were to be a good Culexus and actually informed me some when I ask, we could do some preparing and minimize her suffering. Right?"

>>28051009
[x] Leave her where she is. Inform her that, depending on the answer to your previous question, you were considering sending Yuma herself in as a gobetween, at least initially. If she still wants that, she should probably start acting like a member of the Ninth Officio, not some spoilt, hormonal bitch.

>>28051000
Offer a hand to help her up. "Ok, Yuma, let's try this again. It was implied she was mentally unstable. I asked you how much. You sucker punched me. I beat the fuck out of you. Give me my answer and I will try not to impose on her more than is necessary."

I'd like to point out that not hugging it out is not always a relationship loss. She hit us. We hit her better. Now we're going to reason with her, like we were trying to do before she hit us.

We're just...you know. Not good at that part.

To those of you answering to help her up, its a bad idea.

She just attacked us, we just responded with physical violence. She may very well respond poorly to the helping hand: ie grabbing us and pulling us down for more violence.

Leave her where she is, its her own fault she's on the ground like that. We don't need her to be on her feet to talk.

I've seen it happen more times than you would think. She is emotionaly charged, and acting on anger, we don't know that she's stopped her bullshit. She's a big girl now, and can stand up on her own time, and can respond on her own time. We aren't going to make an aggressive act, and aren't going to give her an opening for her own aggressive act.

At most, we could ask if she's over it and then verbally offer to help her up; while making no overt physical action.

It may sound roundabout, but in this situation it matters.

Remember that bit when we said we aren't Kharn, and we would never be Kharn? MISSION FAILED.

>>28051218
Kharn would have just killed her.

>>28051218

I hope decu doesnt use the "Pick up my hat".

>>28051224
amen, anon

>>28051224
I really do too. I'm pretty bloody sure its being samefagged. At least two of them have the same fucked up formatting.

>>28051218
We're not Kharn.
1: Yuma isn't head-first through a wall
2: Yuma isn't lacking limbs or organs
3: Yuma isn't having the tongue thing done to her in the middle of a corridor and still has all her clothes on.

>>28051223
Kharn wouldn't have killed her, but she probably would have beaten the shit out of her.

>>28051217

Yeh, I kind of wish Kyoko was here. But at the same time, I think had she punched us my vote would have been preceded by "Kyoko, I'm ordering you to stand still." Then violence.

>>28051104
She looks to be pretty well humbled to me. I think we can safely say this fight is over.

>>28051236

That is an excellent way to loose every kyoko point, ever.

And get spitted by her spear.

You and I have interpreted Kharn's reputation and side-quests very differently.

>>28051217
Truly the sexiest girlfriend.

>>28051240
And my point is that looks can be decieving, I've seen similar situations turn to shit FAR too many times because of that assumption being made.

This is the time to use words, and Yuma uses her words to indicate that the fight is indeed over and we can help her up? Then we do so. But not before.

>>28051248
And what we just did was an excellent way to lose every Yuma point forever.

But I wonder how is this going to pan out. We merely acted in self-defense and declared the matter settled on the spot when we could have done worse, WORSE things.

>>28051255
This, I think it's a fair write in with legit votes but help her up was overwhelmingly voted for, not sure what they're concerned about, I myself figured home could do with commanding some respect an waving her duck in some faces.

>>28051269
>uses her words

Tumblrfaggot

>>28051248

I doubt it would have even gotten to blows has Kyoko been there. But even if she was there, we cannot allow insubordination.

>>28051277
Now that is just uncalled for.

>>28051248
Kyoko would have tackled Yuma after she took the first swing, thus cutting the whole thing short.

>>28051270

I know but I was unable to stop the initial attack.

I just hope it doesnt end too badly and some way of working things out shows itself

>>28051281
Perhaps.

If this is ultimately settled civilly, we should indicate that her getting the shit beaten out of her in fisticuffs by a waifish vindicare is probably punishment enough.

>>28051252
Kharn may have her reputation but we've never seen her wantonly slaughter her own subordinates(or even those from other Officios) without really good reason.

>>28051289

You're probably right. She's pretty good at reading situations. And she knows murderface.

From now on I think we need an aid with us at all times.

>>28051269
Dude, lrn2context. This isn't an enemy on the battlefield or some random hothead at a bar, it's our subordinate. She isn't out to pick a fight with us or actually cause us harm, she lashed out in a fit of anger because we badmouthed someone she cared about and she doesn't exactly think highly of us to begin with. You're assuming far more malice here than there reasonably should be.

This is a brief scuffle over an emotional flareup, not an out-and-out fight.

>>28051325
>She isn't out to pick a fight with us or actually cause us harm
I dunno, her advancing with fists raised in a combat stance seemed like she was pretty intent on causing us harm.

>>28051320
Agree. That's what there she is for, just like Malal was to Kharn.

Unless Kharn was fucking some blonde.

>>28051302
>I just hope it doesnt end too badly and some way of working things out shows itself
You DO know this is MGNQ, right? Things don't work themselves out, angry eldritch abominations work them out in exchange for sexual favors.

>>28051320
Kharn did drag Malal with her a lot of the time even though both of them were capable combatants and would have been more efficient apart in terms of doing missions. We could probably spare Kyoko for a fair bit more of the time, on base, if nothing else.

>>28051320
We have one, it's blue and it sexes red.

>>28051318
Generally because she had Malal on hand keeping her in check.

It's pretty clear that she would have been murdering like daisies if she wasn't held in check.

>>28051346
Yeah, I think this is one situation where emulating Kharn is actually the right decision.

Though thinking about it, its more like emulating Malal.

so, should we keep our Equerry or our Aide with us at all times except when we're elbow deep in Midori

>>28051347

Sayaka is our Equerry. She's there to tell us when we're being a fucking moron.

Kyouko is our aide. She's there to handle people for us.

Midori is our secretary. She gets shit done.

>>28051340

>>28051347

I think if Sayaka was there she would have hit Yume before we could have, and harder. Then pin her to the ground.

>>28051363

We'll have both of them on the next mission.

This will be a holiday romp.

Maybe drag along Kumatora as an understudy.

It'll be like a vacation.

>>28051363
Midori's our secretary. She counts as the "minimum one supervising adult".

>>28051333
Dude, once again, lrn2context. She was advancing with fists raised...and telling us to "take it back". If she simply wanted to cause us harm, she wouldn't have just advanced in a menacing posture, she would've followed up straight away with more blows.

She is not out to hurt us. Period. She wants us to recant the statement that pissed her off, and she was pissed enough to resort to blows to get that point across. That's it.

Seriously, there are different kinds of aggression. This is "you pissed me off" aggression, not "I want to see your guts smeared across the wall" aggression. She's just an emotional girl, quit treating her like a fucking enemy combatant.

>>28051365

>Midori is our Midori
fixed

>>28051381
Unless they are otherwise busy. We can probably just take Midori and it'll be fine.

Anyone else. Anyone else had pulled this and executing them on the spot would be a non-issue.
Anyone else and dusting their soul gem with the supersonic lead special would be less hassle than letting them live. Anyone else and we wouldn't have Kyuubey doing his freaky sighs.

>>28051398
I dunno, the idea of Malal having some kind of specialty Kharn spray (in clearly-labeled bottle) is kind of hilarious.

Do you think she'd shake it at her and the noise would spook Kharn up the wall?

This isn't a battlefield, so she is still alive.
This isn't some hothead at a bar, so we aren't going to leave the scene with her face down in the gutter.

She is a child who just came out swinging in a fit of rage, who needs our attention. Thing about children and violent rage? Getting punched in the face and knocked to the ground doesn't put the rage out. They fester in it. We care about our subordinates, her included, which is why we are sticking around to talk with her, rather than have her thrown in the brig, or brig equivalent.

She's an emotional kid, which is exactly why I don't want us giving her a chance to prolong her tantrum.

Hello, autocorrect!

>>28051403
Nope. we specifically brought Kyouko on staff because we recognised we suck at people, and she's good at it. Also it was a condition of her not complaining about having Sayaka as equerry.

>>28051410

Fair point.

>>28051422
I thought it was because she is our bro and we wanted an excuse to bro around

>>28051377

We need to help her up, apologize and then talk things out, but you know, not like a cunt.

>>28051410
Well, techncially with her there we can make the mission a zero-kill run, since the client gives no fucks about whether there are casualties; it's a smash-and-grab, not a killing spree.
Granted that's not as theraputic, but it's a thought.

>>28051433
Nope. She is a bro, but that wasn't the reason.

>>28051395
Sorry dude I know you like the grimdark but I don't think even Kharn would have done this. She probably would have laughed a lot and slammed their head against the wall until it's cracked and bloodied and then left us for someone else to deal with, but the Officios haven't exactly been 40k hitlerland military fantasy as much as some might like it to be.

>>28051347
Sayaka's our equerry. She cuts difficult situations down to size where we need a difficult situation pared down and we can't make it. Kyouko's our aide, she gets straight to the point of matters while ensuring things don't get too entangled up. Mami's the adjutant, she ensures operations are well rounded and services us all deeply. Midori's our sexcretary, she keeps our desk heated and is there to seduce our work away as a comfort person when back and

what was I saying, I think I got distracted at the end there

We should totally show Omegon the picture we took of the Red and Blue in this lift.

Odds are she's got a shard or two of something in her face, or at least bruising.

>>28051516
She was spitting teeth on the floor. Her helmet is clearly broken.

>>28051510
I thought Murderface was said to be almost immune to this shit or something

>>28051533
The plastic skull teeth that are part of the helmet got knocked off.

>>28051516
Yes, but a smashed up helmet is still fairly noticeable.

>>28051510
Either that or we're immune to the Culexus sickening effect?

>She was spitting teeth on the floor.
...

the visor turn to shards that metaphorically looked like spitting teeth

>>28051533
>bits of polished, curved plexiglass clatter to the floor like broken teeth spilling from a freshly kicked-in mouth.

>like broken teeth

>like

not actual teeth.

The teeth are below the glass.

>>28051542
She's not immune, she's just drunk herself into hangovers that have been worse.

>>28051553
That's a metaphor, yo. She didn't actually lose any teeth.

Now I want to see a version of this with Malal saying it.

>>28051573

Read the post I was responding to.

>>28051575
Kharn pouting while Malal adds another chaindildo to the confiscated items box. She puts a rock on the lid like she's keeping raccoons out of a garbage can.

>>28051581
The one saying the 'teeth' are part of the visor?

>>28051550
I think I misread that, so is the helmet broken or not. I'm thinking now that it was just cosmetic damage now. That's probably why we aren't sick, darn an here I thought we were in for another HaHaHa.

>>28051582

Naw it was a bunch of marbles. Imagine the shame as all those marbles clatter to the floor. Imagine the look on Kharns face when Malal comes around and just folds her arms.

>>28051575
The thing is, Kaname Kaneda has had plenty of time having fun as a biker girl with Sayaka and being a total delinquent.

Malal is just very effective at making sure Kharn wasn't fucking up while ensuring her fun was routed in the right way. Instead of saying "you're not allowed to chainswordfuck her" she'd be saying "notes look like she'd enjoy the tongue thing on her bellybutton most" and dutifully noting things down without cracking a smile or a blush.

Yes. The helmets have a skill decal on them, with teeth right below the visor.

>>28051587

We cracked a few shards of it off, but we didn't actually break her literal teeth. It's vague if we even made a hole in the helmet, since glass can break and just drop some shards from the outer layer of the mask. Like when someone 'dents' a window slightly, know what I mean?
