"I actually had been," you reply, sighing. "but to be honest, I'd be happy to just relax for now."
"Ah, Luciana did say that you had a sparring match with Takamaru," Marianne says, turning her gaze back into her book. "How did that go?"
"I won, actually..."
"That's nice," she says, nodding. "I bet Luciana had some conflicting emotions about that... so what brings you here so early?"
"I just wanted to check in on you, is all."

There is a threat to her best friend and it's likely it could involve Marie herself eventually.

>>28685869
>>Forget that, you're telling her anyways
But be a bit indirect, don't straight up tell her. That way we remain blameless in the affair.

>>28685869
>>Forget that, you're telling her anyways

>>28685869
>Forget that, you're telling her anyways
It's possible whatever plan is going on could involve or affect Marie. Also, she'd like to know hr best friend is in trouble.

>>28685869
>Forget that, you're telling her anyways
She most definitely needs to know this, so she herself can be more aware of the potential danger.

That's actually probably true. Two powerful countries like this getting together is something any enemy would want to stop and since Luciana was there to ask to marry Thierri that's probably why she became a target, and why Marie or Emilio could become a target too.

yeah tell mari

maybe also hint that this is not meant to be public knowledge, so to keep it quiet for now?

I think that, whatever happens, we should make it up to Luci. I just don't like how her whole 2 days with us that she waited weeks for were ruined.

Maybe we could ask BroKing if we could spend 1 more day here with everyone?

>>28686022
She'll find out regardless. I just figure that she should find out now, rather then when ninjas kidnap her friend and possibly herself. Forewarned is forearmed.

I'm a Marie fan and this just creeps me out.

"Just being paranoid again, I see..." Marianne sighs as she continues to read her book.
"Actually, I just got done helping to fight off a bunch of people who were trying to kidnap Luciana," you say, a cold expression on your face.
"W- what!?" Marianne says, immediately closing her book and jumping off of the couch. "Is she alright!? Were either of you hurt!?" she asks, grabbing you by the shoulders.

"No, we're all fine," you reply with a weak smile. "The kidnappers are all dead, and none of us were hurt."
"I... I see..." Marianne replies with a sigh of relief. "Thank you for being there to help," she says as she sits back down. "Was this outside, or did they somehow make it inside the castle..."

"They attacked us while we were out on the balcony," you reply.
"I see. That explains that..." Marianne says, closing her eyes and nodding.
"She said that they've been targeting her since she came back from Granache, she seems used to it at least."
"So this is a frequent occurrence, then," she says, scowling. "I'd like to talk to her about this, but now probably isn't the best time..." she frowns. "What about you?"

"Huh?" you reply, unsure what she meant. "What -about- me?"
"You said that you came here to check on me," Marianne replies. "I'm fine here and I don't plan on going anywhere for the night, so you can feel free to head back out if you wanted."

Oooh, nice! Made it in early.

Hey, Arch, just for clarification here, an eligible target for a magic spell has to be considered 'living', right? Like if you want to cast Sanctuary or some other targeting-based spell on something, it can't be an inanimate object, but it could be something like an animal or whatever?

Also, I believe you said something about magic being the precursor to a soul? As in animals don't have souls, but they have a substantial amount of mana in them and if it grows to a certain point it BECOMES a soul, and thus they gain a human form, right?

I'm just trying to correlate the point between 'enough magic to count as alive' and 'enough magic to count as having a soul'.

>>28686683
Oh, yes! See if she knows Agnes!

>>28686748
>Hey, Arch, just for clarification here, an eligible target for a magic spell has to be considered 'living', right? Like if you want to cast Sanctuary or some other targeting-based spell on something, it can't be an inanimate object, but it could be something like an animal or whatever?
Depends on the spell. But yeah, in the case of Sanctuary, the target must be considered as a living thing.

>Also, I believe you said something about magic being the precursor to a soul? As in animals don't have souls, but they have a substantial amount of mana in them and if it grows to a certain point it BECOMES a soul, and thus they gain a human form, right?
Yes to the soul thing, but gaining a human form isn't guaranteed. There's a few animals out there with souls and full sentience who can't assume human form on their own.

>>56695678

>>28686821
Hmm, okay. Another thing: Is it possible to imbue an inanimate object with mana until it counts as being 'alive' and therefore eligible for targeted casting?

Like, is it possible for a weapon to be pumped with enough mana to become sentient, for example, without gaining a human form?

Personally, if we DID ever get a sentient sword, I'd want it to be a dude. So we can bro it up and have private talks without having to worry about who we might piss off. Plus we could get its input on the girls.

Although if it's the sword we already have, it might end up having a crass personality. Remember, it used to belong to Volker, who was pretty rowdy. And then when it was in our hands it spent a whole lot of time around soldiers.

>>28686939
I think Rein would need more intense mutton chops for that.

He has a small choker around his neck, looks like a dog collar. This is important symbolic neckwear here.

>>28686896
Heh.
There's actually an entire thing about that, but I don't feel like going too deeply into it right now since it'll take a bit of time to type out.

But to nswer your basic question, a soul that's trapped inside an inanimate object like a sword is not considered to be alive in the eyes of the world.

>>28687012
Thats not Reinhold. It was used for some kid.

>>28687026
Well, I get that would imply the Sealed Kings are no longer considered alive, but I was rather asking about whether a soul that grows INSIDE of an inanimate object counts as being alive?

>>28686975
>are there such things as Golems or clockwork automatons in this settings?
Yes, they are called marionettes and are a big thing in the eastern continent.

>>28686975
>if so, can they gain souls as well?
Theoretically, yes.

>>28687049
It is used by arch everytime we're in town and is titled "Reinhold casual clothes" or something.

>>28687049
What're you talking about? That's been the placeholder image for Reinhold since the first time it was posted.

>>28687049

"Actually, I kind of wanted to do some reading," you say.
"Suit yourself," Marianne says as she buries her face back into the book she's reading and starts ignoring you.

Seeing that Marianne doesn't feel like talking anymore, you head straight to your bathroom and try and wash the blood that splatters onto your arms during the attack on the balcony.

After a bit of scrubbing, you judge yourself to be satisfactorily clean. You then dry off your arms and head to the bedroom, locating the bag you brought with you here to Marconetti and rummaging through it until you find that which you sought- A Beginner's Earth Magic: 12th edition.

That fight you were just in kind of solidified the need for you to learn some attack spells, and this book should have what you seek... after casually flipping through its pages, you then head back out to the living room where Marianne is.

It's a bit late to be bothering Sylvie. We can learn something on our own for once. We kind of need to be able to since training on our own is a must if we want to learn fast enough.

I'm more pissed that we decided to be massive cunts and just leave her after she almost got kidnapped.
Fuck flags or waifuing, that is just insanely dickish. We're supposed to be nice-guy reinhold who FIGHTS FOR HIS FRIENDS.

Fixed that and a shoulder thing.

>>28687469
It's half the length of the leg which is about half of the body. Is that not supposed to be the case?

<archelon> it's funny
<archelon> Sylvie said that she'd be happy to help Reinhold learn magic whenever
<archelon> and Luciana clearly knows it
<archelon> as does Marianne
<archelon> Yet they want to go it alone for some reason
<archelon> I mean, just logically speaking. :/
<??????> lol logic
<archelon> It's easier how to learn how to do a thing with help than it is on one's own.

>>28687548
dont do that.

>>28687543
Being a body guard is our Number 1 priority, everything else is after.

>>28687548
I think we're trying to avoid the girls to avoid the waifu wars.

>>28687548
This is why we should find luciana and possibly takamaru to help us

>>28687548
It's still imposing, man. It's late after all.

>>28687548

I think tonight is about independent study...we may be trying to steer clear of the women we know are interested...if only for the night.

>>28687548
Yeah but then we'd have to interact with Sylvie.

>>28687548
This is why i suggested a sylvie and Lucaina team up.

>>28687351
>luciana option

>>28687563
And marianne is safe and wants to be left alone right now. There's honestly no reason not to check up on her besides "LOLFUCKLUCIANNAWAIFU" Which is really stupid considering nothing is going to happen anyways.

>>28687548
It's like VMQ2 all over again.

Isn't it late evening? We're just killing time in a semi useful manner before going to bed.

Looking pretty good imo.
>>28687548
Personally I find that sometimes its easier for me to figure it out alone so I learn the mechanics better than to have it told to me.

>>28687543
We already know she's safe and sound and now we're in full no fucking around mode.

>>28687565
Pretty much this. You can't really complain, Arch, since you've thrown all of these romance options out there, and created this conflict that's reached a point where we're pretty much avoiding it for some breathing space.

>>28687548
we're only doing this to not having to probably wake up a sleepy Sylvie. besides, we could coax some intrest out of the princess about magic. earn a few more points to bump up our guard rank if we can.

So obviously we should be bothering Lucy at this time of night. For no other reason then to see if she's all afraid of what happened.

Lady shanked a dude, put him in rock hands, and ordered his execution without blinking. I think she can handle "being lonely".

>>28687351
>go find Sylvie and see if she can help you out with this

No seriously, if we're going to try and learn a spell, we need a teacher.

>>28687661
They want to learn magic from her since we're going to leave Marconetti. Sylvie we have all the time

>>28687661
She was pretty disappointed to see Reinhold go

>>28687674
Well, if you idiots hadn't created such a goddamned massive conflict with each and every one of you trying to force your goddamned love-interest bullshit into every situation, we wouldn't be in this place where we can't go near a girl without the thread devolving into anarchy anymore, would we?

>>28687702
And we already told her we were turning in for the day and would see her tomorrow?

Why go back on what we already said.

>>28687544
needs a bit more bulge between the legs

>>28687703
Yeah.

I feel the same way

Reading was basically the lucianna block from the Marianne crowd, and now we're going to get the combined efforts of the lucianna and marie crowd to block going and talking with Sylvie in improving ourselves, we are hamstringing ourselves over the waifu wars now

>>28687684
And run the risk of her dad finding out that she knows magic. That's kind of risky.

>>28687351
>go find Sylvie and see if she can help you out with this

too late for that.

>>28687765
He knows she knows magic, he just doesn't want her having grimoires.

We should have played him as trevor from GTA5

>>28687351
>Go find Sylvie and blah blah blah

>>28687748
Pretty much. I honestly don't give a shit about who the fuck we romance - if it were up to me we'd just go the single route and let the dice fall wherever they may. But this nonsense needs to stop - it's going to end up getting Reinhold killed because he's unnaturally swinging from one place to the next to avoid contact with people when necessary one moment, and then unnecessarily shoving himself into other situations that cause even greater problems (such as inviting Sylvie to the fucking roof when we were just going to do some goddamned sketching, which led to the shitstorm of awkwardness of 'ABORT! ABORT!' when dealing with her at the fountain - all of that could've been avoided if the Sylvie crowd hadn't been in full force trying to push for their girl when it wasn't necessary).

because i don't think anyone would be okay with it even if it has happened multiple times, i wouldn't think she'd like that

It's more likely to get the quest killed than Reinhold.

Someone posts quotes from the IRC with Archelon basically saying outright that we realy should have asked SOMEONE for help in learning a new spell, yet you guys argue against it anyways.

I voted not going to find Sylvie because:

Taking a step back, I find the constant sabotage somewhat hilarious. Reinhold is just constantly sabotaging himself and eventually he'll end up alone. But he'll be an incredible badass because the one thing that every party agrees on is that getting stronger is amazing.

-It's not that late, we just used that as an excuse to spaghetti our way away from Luci.

-While true, but because it isn't that late, there's no reason to not receive the lecture now.

Honestly I hope the lucy option won at this point because I don't think the sylvie option did. I just don't want to sit around in our room jerking off over books we don't understand.

Maybe archelon will be a bro and combine the two options to not be a nerd stuck in our room too shy to meet anyone because 'it's..too late'.

>>28688085
too late for that.
1.Marry party is the largest(will take the longest)
2. Lucciana and Sylvie part are about the same size(will take the shortest)

4.Miad part is non-existant(Non-existant)

Not very efficient, but no flags so political correctness is preserved.
2) go find Luciana despite telling earlier that we won't
Seems a bit awkward, but passable
3) pester Sylvie
Probably best from spellpower perspective, but >muh flags. Theres also the issue of seeking out Sylvie after rejecting Lucy's last evening as un-engaged maiden.

Even as a sylviefag I'm leaning towards 2

2 and 3 are way better than 1. 1 is the route people chose because they didn't want to advance any relationships. It's the cowards way out.

As you sit down on one of the living room's wonderfully soft chairs, the thought comes to mind that maybe you could ask Sylvie to help you out. And Marianne's sitting right here, too... maybe she wouldn't be too pissed at you if you asked her for assistance?

Nah, might as well try learning a spell on your own for a change. Besides, it's 8:15 now and you don't want to impose on anyone. Flipping through the book, you look for the list of the spells it contained from before... ah, there it is!

Uprise... Clay Spread... Shard Breaker... Sandy Step... yeah, those four looked to be the mos useful in this situation. And Clay Spread and Shard Breaker are the only two that are outright attack spells... might as well get started.

>>28688402Uprise
Cost: 3MP (base: 4MP)
Effect: The user gestures, usually with a stomp or lifted hand, causing a rock formation to rise from the ground. The base radius is about five feet, though both the maximum distance and the ground area affected scale with the user's base magical reserves. Can only be used outdoors, or in an area with stone floors.

Clay Spread
Cost: 2MP (base: 3MP)
Effect: Forms and shoots six fist-sized clay projectiles at a target. Provided that it's a direct hit, the clay sticks to the target. Intended to subdue the target without injuring them.

Shard Breaker
Cost: 3MP (base: 4MP)
Effect: Forms a fist-sized crystal which then shatters, its shards firing at the target.


Sandy Step
Cost: 2MP (base: 3MP)
Effect: Changes the ground under the target into loose sand. The range increases with the user's skill, and the spell's accuracy increases the closer the target area is to the caster. Can only be used outdoors or in areas with stone flooring.

I feel like I don't need to post this since we're all picking Clay Spread, but I did it anyway.

It's not that I don't want to answer it. It's that I don't give a shit about the question and would much rather ignore it and focus on other things.

But since that's not an option, at least the waifufags get to suffer along with us.
