You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.After sharing a dance with Luciana (that was a bit more risque than you intended), you ran into her mother and baby sister... you can certainly see how they're related to Gregory now.>Congratulations, you are now a mangy DOG!>Though dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.Thread archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestCharacter list + descriptions (in progress):http://pastebin.com/1Vhj4DJvList and descriptions of the spells shown thus far:http://pastebin.com/2c9y2sDMTwitter:https://twitter.com/QM_ArchelonQuest compilation that's kindly maintained by a person who isn't me:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4nhs9gd0kmnnni/04tpEy5_pe>>>>>>>>
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty," you say as you do your best bow.She -is- the Queen, after all. Best to make a good first impression."Likewise, Mr..." Lisette says, turning to Luciana."Mother, this is Reinhold," Luciana replies. "He's Marianne's bodyguard.""So the boy who you so fancy and danced so suggestively with is Marianne's bodyguard..." the Queen says with a bemused smile. "Though I have to admit that I wasn't expecting the first boy who you expressed actual interest in past teasing to be a commoner... no offense intended, Reinhold."Ouch. The truth hurts."A- ACTUALLY, Mother, Reinhold here isn't -just- some commoner..." Luciana says as she crosses her arms confidently...You know where this is going.>let her say it, it's not like it's a secret>stop her, it's not something to just be blabbed all over the place>[OTHER]

>>29184444>let her say it, it's not like it's a secret

>>29184502Something like this. We're fundamentally a commoner in outlook, so I guess let her say it, but note that we're not really NOBLE noble.
>>29184444>let her say it, it's not like it's a secretMake sure that Luciana doesn't make it seem like more than it is though.
>>29184471i only wish it wasn't so late. i have to go to work in the morning! damn it Archelon! you torment me so!

>>29184471/jp/ go home it's "THE BEST TIME OF *DAY* HAS FINALLY ARRIVED", turbonerd
>>29184774Yay!
Archelon is kill?
>>29184975He always takes 20-30 minutes per update.
>>29184975One fears...
No sense in stopping Luciana from saying it, it's not like her mother won't find out eventually anyways... though you do find yourself cringing a bit out of fear that she'll overplay the situation."...he's the adopted son of Volker Eschenwald!" Luciana boasts. "And Agnes Eschenwald actually bothered to attend the party -just- to see Reinhold and his sister!"Well.While nothing that she just said was untrue, it is kind of embarrassing to be built up as some kind of important guy like this..."...so you're VOLKER'S..." Lisette gasps as she repositions the squirming baby in her arms. "He was one of Gregory's best friends, you know... but I had no idea that he even had any interest in adopting children..."Yeah, that would make sense. Volker was friends with Gregory, so of course his sister would have known him as well.>[1/?]
>>29184975Archelon is calls your phone after being missing for three days. Out of worry you called the cops, so they're here tracing the call. As you keep him talking, you learn something startling. The call is coming from within your house!
So... which girl is most likely to snap and go full Yandere first?My money is on Nico. She seems the most stable. Seems.
>>29185027I'd say Luci or Sylvie.
>>29185027Sylvie
>>29185027I'm half expecting Sylvie to kill us with an axe or something and then off herself.
>>29185027Does Monique count? I think he doesOr Spinelle
>>29185027Meido. It's always the quiet ones - the ones you're never watching that decide to grab your attention in the most direct and volatile way.
>>29185062>axethat's a funny way of spelling FIST
>>29185089she's going to take our dance with her WAY too seriously
>>29185089Sounds right. Which is why we need Nico to wingman her for us.
>>29185027Obviously LucianaDat bitch mad cold
>>29185076I'd count Monique, he just needs that final push.Like insulting King Celestino's sister-in-law oh wait...
Remind me, why didn't we dance with the ara ara last thread? It would have been the polite thing to do.
>>29185260because NOPE
>>29185046What do we do if they both snap?>>29185260she scares Reinhold, it may not have ended well.
>>29185260muh trauma
>>29185142Cries herself to sleep because she thinks we think her heartless murder mode is not attractive and or off putting.Finds out we actually gave no fucks about her ice cold cunning princess mode, and are ourselves ice cold.Decides to embrace her inner murder boner more fully to win our heart.
>>29185260we were mid way to luci and had just admitted that to her. i could see us booking a dance for later but we already told her we were in the middle of something
>>29185260because she is not a nice lady
>>29185287Leave them to kill each other and hook up with someone else.
>>29185027I could see Luci going that route if we string her along over much. Mah penis can't wait.
>>29185303Exactly. Best girl.
>>29185260Sexually aggressively flirtatious older woman. Reinhold couldn't nope out of that fast enough.
>>29185303>Decides to embrace her inner murder boner more fully to win our heart.i know exactly why i have this boner
>>29185013"Yeah, he died before anything was made official," you say. "Both myself and my sister had it pretty hard as a result, but things are going pretty well for both of us right now.""Going pretty well for Luciana too..." Lisette replies as she makes an accusing glance at her daughter. "I trust that you didn't happen to -orchestrate- any of this good fortune?""Just through a stroke of luck," Luciana giggles. "I can assure you that I had no idea of his parentage when he first struck my fancy," she says, shrugging."Of -course- you didn't." Lisette replies. But if he's anything like Volker was, then I'm sure that your father wouldn't mind accepting him as a potential suitor..." she says, looking you over."Oh, you think so?" she says with a sly grin. "I hadn't even considered that...">[2/?]
>>29185260MUH PAST
>>29185348ALART ALARTBit too strong there luci
>>29185348Why are we hitting all the flags for the Luciana route?
>>29185364Most accurate and concise explanation ever. Well said Anon, well said!
>>29185348God its all so pointless because no one will ever decide on a gril. Reinholdt might as well be gay.
>>29185390Don't ask me.
>>29185390Because a Lucianna is fine too.
>>29185376She got too excited while revealing her /just as planned/.
>>29185390Because sympathy.It's why we were hitting all the flags for Marie's route before after seeing her cry when Luci left.
>>29185348It begins...and we still have Sylvie and Meido to dance with tonight. To say nothing of keeping our eye on our Tsun Tsun charge....poor Nico. She'll have to watch her two crushes dancing with one another.
>>29185348>"Oh, you think so?" she says with a sly grin. "I hadn't even considered that..."I don't have an appropriate reaction handy for this level of bullshit.
>>29185348CODE REDSHUT IT DOWN
>>29185390>>29185427>>29185418Because the romantic plot needs development. Doesn't mean necessarily that Reinhold will have to go with Luciana.
>>29185390I will call complete and utter bullshit if people are gonna try and skip out on the other dances.
>>29185027Nico: it would take a lot of push to turn her yandere. not impossible but not easy either.Sylvie: very easy! half way there in my view. she loves Reinhold, he isn't 100% into her. just a bit more and watch the fuse get lit.Marienna: She's a Tundere, not a Yandere.just not seeing it.Forgotten Maido: has the under pinnings for Yandere-ness, but lacks the love. but it's possable. Luci: i can see her being yandere, but again, it would take some pushing to become one. not an easy goal.
>>29185438>...poor Nico. She'll have to watch her two crushes dancing with one another.Maybe that'll be the nudge she needs to get off her ass & try to enjoy something about this other than the food.
>>29185315But what if they team up, like some kind of crazy buddy cop comedy wherein they hunt us down and skin us?
>>29185438I know. Then again would she find it heart breaking or arousing I wonder?
>>29185462Thats not likely to happen.But keeping a respectful distance from luci might be on the cards.
>>29185453shh..let it happen
>>29185348I WOULDN'T DREAM OF MARRYING SOMEONE SO FAR FROM THE LINE OF SUCCESSION YOUR MAJESTY.WE CAN BE FRIENDS THOUGH.
>>29185410Actually, I am asking you.Most of this feels forced and way too convenient. The pacing is all fucked and it's like any inch we give Luci she takes a fucking mile with it. It's like we literally have to be a jerk to her to avoid this.
>>29185492Nonsense, we need to go back on the true hill of swords route.
>>29185469Luci is considered worse than Sylvie since she has been shown to already kill people and has fallen for reinhold after knowing him for less than a week.
>>29185410do we really need this bullshit cant we just be sword monk like we planed please Who really wants to have a women? we got magic to learn and swording to practice. we ain't got time for that girl stuff
>>29185489>luciDon't you mean Meido? We aren't dancing with Luci again in all likelihood.
>>29185481Knowing Nico she might harbor a moment of lewd watching Rein and Meido dance.
>>29185462>people are gonna try and skip out on the other dances.i wouldn't skip the chance on a pseudo harem dude.
>>29185520 You mean it's exactly how she planned?
>>29185527Less than a week? More like less than a day.>>29185534I like the way you think.
>>29185410Hey Arch! a while ago you told us how the other girls would react if we accidently grabbed their peaches. now then, if the girls could grope Reinhold's butt and get away with it. would they? and how well would they feel him up?
>>29185538No.
>>29185455Honestly this, for me. We've been waifuing for months, which is fine, but it's just nice for something to actually happen. Not saying we're locked in or anything, but the whole, "huh? what do you mean?" routine was getting tired.
>>29185520>ImplyingSome girls are like that hombreYou gotta play it smooth and know when to press it or not.
>>29185538And so it begins the bullshitting in avoiding all the other dances.
>>29185527You think Sylvie hasn't killed men and monsters with both her magic and her bare hands?
And here we go again!
>>29185348>[3/3]Blatant lie, Luciana. You know you can do better than that."Oh yeah, and his sister happens to be Marius Lanzmann's wife!" Luciana says."...really?" Lisette raises an eyebrow on surprise. "That bubbly girl is your sister?""Bubbly?" you repeat. "...heh, I guess she kind of is..." you say with a nervous chuckle. "Yeah, she's my sister."I guess that's another point for you, then..." she laughs. "While she seems to be a bit, umm, -excitable-, she's a sweet girl.""...anyways, I'm going to go and make sure that Elena's not harassing Gregory too much... what about you two? Going to parade around your obvious attraction to each other some more? Maybe make a few mortal enemies in the process?">how do you respond?
>>29185527Technically she only shanked a dude. Takamaru was the one ending the lives. And it was still hardly fault-able. You're playing it off like she was eating babies or something.>and has fallen for reinhold after knowing him for less than a weekReminds me of Sylvie. Except she was nearly declaring us her only true wuvvv within like minutes of knowing us.
>>29185541Yeah, we honor our dance card. Tonight is for dances, figuring out our 4th dimensional love hexagram can be done...later?How does this thing even break down;!it feels like it would benefit from a Smallville RPG character relationship board.
>>29185575I was saying we dance with her but don't dance inappropriately close to her. Where'd you get the skip dance idea?
>>29185563Reinhold is pure innocent child>>29185539Oh my god we're going to NTR Nico
>>29185583Monsters yes, human people no.Since she doesn't have a job that includes killing people.
>>29185583Pretty sure Arch verified that she hadn't.Of the Granache group I think it was just Reinhold & Monique that had actually killed someone before.
>>29185605"Actually, if you have time, I know Marianne was looking forward to meeting Chiara."
>>29185527she wouldn't be pycho about it, just rather methodical about it and she can use the strings that come with her birth right too. >>29185551ALL the girls practicly fell for him as soon as they saw him.
>>29185390Because shes easy.
>>29185560Rana would do it for kicks, just to see Reinhold's reaction.Luciana would do it if she thought she could get away with it.None of the other girls would be so bold, though.
>>29185605"Actually, I promised another dance with a friend of mine and I know Marianne wanted to see Chiara."
This is usually the part when the forever alone fags come out and ruin everything like with Sylvie.
>>29185605"To be honest, I didn't quite enjoy the attention we got while we were dancing. It did feel a bit hostile, like you said."Perhaps Princess Marianne would like to meet you, Your Highness?"
>>29185605[x]>Ask to escort her there.Just in case anyone is silly enough to bump into heralso to flee. and to get maries attention because BABBY
>>29185605>"Actually, I think it's better to avoid attracting further attention tonight. I should go somewhere else and let Luciana enjoy the party."
>>29185655Alright, let's go ask Rana for a dance, then.
>>29185605"...I'm pretty sure I have made mortal enemies with over half your nobility already in all likely hood"
>>29185605This: >>29185658
>>29185655Rana is best girl.
>>29185659Shut the fuck up, you're only making it worse.
>>29185605this!>>29185638time to introduce the little one.
>>29185605"WE'RE JUST FRIENDS!"And then raise hands up in the air defensively.
>>29185605Innocent naive Reinhold mode engage. This deflects all intent back on Luci.
>>29185605"Nah two are enough for one night. I intend to sink back into the shadows until I'm needed again, or I can stand around awkwardly. Such is the life of Reinhold."
>>29185605i don't suppose you'd mind if i pointed princess marianne your way? she likes babies and would probably love to see <insert baby's name here>last i checked she was still stuck being embarassed by thieri, so we may want to help her out
>>29185638+1
>>29185638I like this, if it wouldn't be too forward.
>>29185638I'll toss my hat on this as well.
>>29185605"Actually, I was hoping to distract you for a bit because, as much as I know you're looking forward to seeing Gregory, I think he's enjoying spending some less supervised time with his niece. And I know Princess Marianne has been dying to meet your youngest daughter, so if you would pardon the detour...?"
>>29185605"I still have a dance with Melanie and I was hoping to tell Marianne about Chiara being here. Say hi to my grandmother for me. She's hanging out with Sir Gregory and Elena."
>>29185605"...I can't exactly say I like the idea of having mortal enemies.">>29185638This is definitely worth saying.
>>29185638Going with this.
>>29185605>>29185638Actually, leaving my other choice and going for this one.
>>29185613Sylvie is sheltered and therefore has an immature crush.I'll look forward to crushing this
>>29185638>>29185658These.
>>29185613She also tortured a guy in front of us and sent takky on an assassination mission with out batting an eye.
>>29185638This
>>29185745Stop.
>>29185638Support.
>>29185658This.
>>29185605i think i took some of the weight of gregory's shoulders when i introduced elena to my grandmotherfollowed by getting marianne and baby together
>>29185745How does it compare to Luci crush?
What's the band playing? Ask them to play some Queen or something, everyone loves Queen.
>>29185683>>29185688Yes
>>29185638>>29185658This. Also tell her our Grandma is lighening the load for her brother.
>>29185658seconded.
>>29185789We already introduced Elena to her new role model.
>>29185658I vote for this.
>>29185772no>>29185796Luci is using us to get dat prestige, nothing more than a heartless fox.The only true, innocent love is that of everlasting rivalry with Monique.
>>29185462>>29185541Basically thisMy attitude and I would guess a lot of other people's attitude is a psuedo-harem mindset.We're not blind to Arch's comments on the idea, we're simply playing our cards close to our chest.More data needed before committing to a path, so we sample all we can while we can.Opinions change and grow, for example maidWHO and that I personally dislike Luci less and less over time(not over the brutality though as Rein is just as brutal in the same circumstance and he's not a hypocrite).We've also seen how most characters have expressed their emotions towards Rein; hidden, beta; embarrassed etc.
>>29185831yes but now we're telling the queen so that she doesn't worry about gregory too much
>>29185605"Well I'm not gonna live forever, so I guess they all have to be mortal."
>>29185840What prestige is Luci going after exactly?
>>29185658No. She just saw us dancing provocatively with her daughter and we don't want to look like a womanizer.
>>29185840Your bait looks tasty, but I'm not biting.
>>29185840Nah, Monique isn't invested enough in us. He's almost ready to skip town with his brother and leave us in peace. Just one more little push...
I really wish everyone who picked this quest up after the first 10 or so threads would just leave
>>29185890Hey, leave it alone, you don't know where it's been
>>29185909Why do you say that, Anon?
>>29185909And then we'd be back to the ten or so of us trying to get the MC to fondle his sword. There's enough room in this quest for everyone, as long as we remember >>29184623
>>29185891>Friend>Promisethreat neutralized>>29185890That hoe is thirsty for adventure and wanderlust: she wants to use us to become a famous adventurer.Fuck that we got turkey legs and shit.
>>29185895what? he's pushing his brother to leave but considering we just broke his head after snatching the luci route out from under him after punching him in the face in front of his men after humiliating him in the tournament after breaking his heirloom sword i'd say he's invested in us
>>29185939No one ever fucking does though. At the very least it'd be nice if people could ease up on the VN mentality
>>29185909sekrit club unite ;)
>Potential Waifu TierMarianneLucianna>Friendship TierEveryone else
>>29185939>the ten or so of us trying to get the MC to fondle his swordJust reminding you guys again, we fondled our princess. And it was glorious.
>>29185840you sound enticing.but i'll pass
>>29185909then it would be back to the Mage fans(to study magic),the sword guy(practice and get better), and the princess guys(doing our job) trying to fight over who gets the most attention.
>>29185974>>29185892not everything is b8 m8there is a thing called 'humor'
>>29185981Better than the waifufagging.
>>29185996Regardless of what it was supposed to be it was still shit in the end.
>>29185949Not really. He's invested in re-establishing his reputation and given that we keep fucking that up for him, and that he's going to take Mari's ex-bodyguard's side in the inevitable conflict, I don't think he's going to be able to do that if he stays close to home. Dude seems the type to cut his loses after awhile.
>>29185999This whole party has been horrible to be honest.I'm hoping that arch brings us back home.and leaves Luci in her own kingdom.
>>29185955I wholeheartedly agree that treating it too much like a VN leads to and has led to unfortunate choices, but sweeping statements like that aren't going to help anyone. If you'll remember, we had maybe a hundred thousand arguments about how anime this quest was since the beginning. People who actively work to spite other players need to stop, and people who are basing their logic on VN could tone it down in my opinion, but I'm sure there are people who have found this quest relatively recently who are contributing and enjoying it.
>>29185970shit tier tier system would not use>>29185999The main game here is relationship building and socialization so I don't really see your argument.I mean we can do other stuff but in the end it's all about how we handle our relationships with errybody. Female/male withstanding
>>29185996Yeah, I misread it as "Marianne" not Monique. My bad
>>29185999>>29186023I understand being against waifu wars, and related bs, but is a romantic subplot bad, especially in a VN quest??
>>29186023I mean it's basically been waifu holiday which isn't that good.But back home it was basically 'Medieval fantasy highschool slice of life also I'm a bodyguard or something apparentlyâ„¢'
>>29186037I mean, I'm fine with the characters themselves, but all the fucking arguments about which of them is the best or which is actually a total cunt and so on are really getting ridiculous.
>>29186043yes.i want this VN to be a healing one
>>29186068So are meta discussions about waifu wars.
>>29186023I liked the family bonding with Marianne parts and meeting Milien. Those threads were fun. I'm actually beginning to want to pick Marie for a waifu simply because she's just the most mellow option,player opinion wise. Everyone seems to know how to treat her and most of the waifuers just blend in. She feels the most natural from a meta and IC perspective.
>>29186043It's pretty much THE plot.If you're not here for that then why have you read this far?Though I assume shit will get real and things will go down sooner or later, so there's always that.>>29186068We gotta talk about something, and everything else is just shitposting.
>>29186043Clearly they don't find it believable that someone as young and impovrised as Reinhold (even with the BS family connections) would be considered a valid suitor for any of the girls. Even the mediocre could do better without trying.
>>29186070So basically you Reinhold not to heal from his traumas? Because if he becomes ascetic and completely denies any romance it'll just be a continuation of his trauma.
>>29185560What was the girls reactions if w did by accident?
>>29186086>Though I assume shit will get real and things will go down sooner or laterPeople who keep assuming this are really annoying to me since they over react to any situation thinking something is gonna happen.
>>29186070this is not Princess Guard Quest Alternative.
>>29186043yes, because in quest threads, romantic subplots have a bad habit of turning, for lack of a better phrase, cancerous - and completely devouring plot time, something we're already having issues with.On that same note: every fucking quest turns into shitty hamfisted romance quest sooner or later, stop trying to force it.
>>29186103Not good.
>>29186070So we must flee any attempt to overcome the emotional trauma of our past.mmakes sense.
>>29186094nigger whathave you been paying attention at all?>>29186077Yeah but at the same time I feel like we're too guided in that direction. I want to stray from the path and not take the obvious, most relevant choice like we normally do.
>>29186103All you need to know is that best girl Rana would grab our ass right back and give a friendly squeeze.
>>29186086I didn't say I'm not, I think you don't understand what I did there.
>>29186077Personally I don't know why I'm still here.Not meant as an insult, there is something that definitely keeps me here; I'm just unaware of what it actually is.At the moment I'm fairly resentful towards the fact that we're pretty much the most unnecessary bodyguard in imagination.
>>29186125>Yeah but at the same time I feel like we're too guided in that direction. I want to stray from the path and not take the obvious, most relevant choice like we normally do.That's just as dumb as the people who want to pick her for being the true route.
>>29185769Which tells me she is decisive and knows how shit works. I gladly ship both princess.
>>29185796Not that anon, but I see Luciana as a "caged bird" archetype. Think Yukiko from Persona 4 if you've played/watched it. She's bound by her obligations as a princess, seeing as she was at one point resigned to the fact that she was going to be married off for political reasons, and that as much as she would want to go off adventuring, she would never abandon her duties. But she was always looking for a way out - for her prince to come and take her away from all the political bullshit she has to deal with.Enter Reinhold. Now I'm not saying she's just using us to get away from everything - far from it. There's an honest attraction on her part; considering the nobles we've met seen and heard, we're probably the most genuine and nicest person she's ever met. The gallantry and good looks don't hurt either. But I have a feeling that even if it's subconsciously, there's more to it than just love for her.Or I might be completely off base and should go to sleep.
>>29186109I'm not worried about it, but it's inevitable that SOMETHING significant will happen, probably multiple happenings actually, to move along the plot in different directions. Whatever those may be is irrelevant, roll with whatever I guess.>>29186131I wasn't meaning you, that was a question directed towards the anti-waifu fags or whatever
>>29186097he was talking about an entirely different kind of healing.
>>29186126>best girl>scornful and dismissive towards 'lesser' humansAs garbage as the game was, Rana fills me with an urge to play Skyrim.
>>29186137Same, i stopped staying awake for this quest a while back.
>>29186125>have you been paying attention at allTo the waifu-wars and romance-o'-no arguments? Of course not. I'm just bored waiting for the next post and felt like lobbing a tomatoe or two on both sides of the mix since this brouhaha was already in motion. That a problem?
Let's all just calm down a little bit. Tensions are flaring again, and we don't want a repeat of the great clusfterfuck of the 6th.
>>29186153No, that makes perfect sense. At the same time, the fact that she's willing to go after what she wants (subconsciously or otherwise) makes me like her more.
>>29186142More than that is we really haven't developed the relationship with her enough to put all the chips in.Right now, our best friends are still sylvie and nico, with Citrine as bro tier.And it's more than not doing the 'true' route, but I don't want to just take the obvious quest title character and be done with it.
>>29186153Very well said.
Now that I'm thinking about it again, I can't wait for the mortification supernova that is going to come from an eventual in-character realization that one of Reinhold's first subconscious thoughts when going through Luciana-is-attractive warning signs was how she smelled the same as Marianne.Extra bonus points if at some future point Reinhold ashamedly confesses that thought to Marianne, beginning an infinite embarrassment feedback loop.
>>29186192>And it's more than not doing the 'true' route, but I don't want to just take the obvious quest title character and be done with it.That's literally the same thing just on the other spectrum. People want to pick her because she's the obvious, you don't because she's the obvious choice.
>>29186192This is why i want us to go for Rana,Nico, or Sylvie.
>>29186192>Citrine as bro tier...sis tier.
>>29186215Marie is Rein's safety anchor at this point. Haha.
>>29186169I'm just saying that Granache-wise, the girls are open to being with whomever they like.The whole social standing argument doesn't work, even less so because of the volker thing.I don't feel locking a route like that or something is necessary now though, or ever even. Let's just let things develop as they may.
>>29186215Many many many years ago.I was made lavender perfume in science class.It exploded.
>>29186153Now do one for Sylvie and Nico.
"Actually... if you have time, I know that Princess Marianne was looking forward to meeting Princess Chiara here," you say to the Queen."BAA!" Chiara shouts, seemingly reacting as if she was called."Oh, she was?" Lisette replies, a bit surprised. "Considering how moody she is, I was thinking that she'd want to stay as far away from Chiara as possible..."Not at all!" Luciana interjects. "Marianne absolutely ADORES babies!""...really?""Yeah, she definitely does," you say, unable to keep from smiling a bit as you remember her reaction to the Wilhelms' new baby.""If you say so, I don't see why not," Lisette says as she adjusts the baby in her arms. "I hope she doesn't decide that the poor girl is an enemy, though..."Checking on Marianne, she and her father are still talking with... Alberto was it? In any event, it might not be a bad idea to go and tell her that the baby's finally down here.>Ask the Queen if she'd like to go over to Marianne>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourself>[OTHER]
>>29186251>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourself"Say hit to Agnes for me"
>>29186221I'd support Nico or Rana, but Sylvie has been shown to be too emotionally dependent for me to really be interested in her as more than a magic instructor.
>>29186226I'm too used to japanese incest plot twists to use sis and not have fear>>29186218AND that just because she may be by nature the most important, she is not therefore already the best option.
>>29186251>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourself
>>29186241Sylvie learnt romance from a child's book.Nico wants to be dark and edgy like her father.
>>29186251>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourselfShe's carrying a baby around. Let her go rest.
>>29186251>>Ask the Queen if she'd like to go over to Marianne
>>29186251>>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourselfLet the queen visit her brother, it's one of the few times she can actually do so.
>>29186188She was always considered one of, if not the most capable of Celestino's children if I remember right. She just happens to be near the end of the line of succession, so she doesn't get much chance to put her skills to use.
>>29186251>>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourself
>>29186251>>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourselfTime for a breather
>>29186251>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourselfMight as well
/Tg/ seems to hate yandere which i find a pity.The chill of walking on a tightrope is minor compared to risking the fury of an obsessed lover.[Spoiler] and i do fancy a lass that knows her way around a rope and blindfold
>>29186265At least your better than the guys trying to replace her and avoid getting her to teach us magic.
>>29186251>let her go to Gregory like she originally intended and fetch Marianne yourselfThe queen goes where she likes.
>>29186215That is an interesting point. Thank you for bringing it up.
arch, how do you feel about all this in-depth psycho analysis?
>>29186251>let her go...She's the Queen. It would be rude for us to try ordering her around. Even if we used our polite words.Also, how many posts do you think we are from the inevitable coup attempt?

>>29186306You know that one horror story you here bunch of different versions of about a controlling girlfriend completely ruining gaming groups and friendships.That's real-life Yandere.

>>29186469And that's why you like Yandere. Because you're loneliness is so prevalent much that you've idealized that obsession for company and abandonment anxiety in other people.

>>29186641http://www.docdroid.net/4wdl/everything.pdf.html
>>29186602I wish I had a girlfriend who would take that final step into physical abuse and death threats.It almost happened once, but I think I scared her away.
>>29186602>There is aslo the physical abuse and death threats.those didn't come till after he dumped her
>>29186642that's the point. It's kind of like... the violation of the act I suppose? Coupled with the threat of potential death, the thought becomes irresistible to me.
>>29186675That sounds unlikely.
>>29186241Sylvie, eh? I'll give it a shot. First off, as people have noted, we're her first crush. First loves have a tendency to burn really hot. I mean, everyone remembers their first real loves. That is the case for Sylvie, but there's more to it than that. I think one of the main things is is that we make her feel needed.First, look at the people around her: Vincent, Gregory, Arnaud, Nikolaus, Therri, Nico, Arianne, and even Marianne; they can all pretty much handle themselves. For one reason or another, she can never really help any of them. But us? We asked her to teach us. The handsome young swordsman, who won the tournament and earned the right to be Princess's bodyguard, the same person who beat her best friend, the Captain of the Royal Guard, in a spar. We needed her to teach us magic.Yes, we had no one else we could really ask to teach us magic at the time, and we barely knew her when we asked. But remember how she went into it with gusto. Vincent even commented on how excited she was to start teaching us what she could.In a world surrounded by those monsters, we made her feel needed in a way that was completely foreign to her. And for a shy quiet girl like Sylvie, that is probably one hell of a drug.
>>29186642maid first since we promised her, and are we not dancing with mari
>>29186642>loliNo>Rana>NicoThey'll dance over our dead body>Marianne not on the listThis list sucks
"I don't want to hold you up, so I'll go and tell the Princess that you're here," you say to thw Queen."Very well," Lisette nods. "Come along Luciana, let's go and visit your uncle." she says as she pulls her eldest daughter along with her free hand."Eh-" Luciana stammers as she tries (and fails) to shake her mother off. "I'll go along with Mr. Reinhold, we'll meet you over there...""Now, now..." Lisette says, smiling at her daughter in a decidedly unfriendly manner. "You don't want to seem too eager... that only serves to scare boys away."Ignoring her daughter's protests, the Queen forcibly drags Luciana away. ...yeah, you can definitely tell that she and Gregory are siblings.>[1/?]
>>29186713Based Queen.
>>29186692And this explains more or less why I'd feel guilty if we ever really went after Sylvie. We aren't going to need her for long and that inevitable change would only undermine the relationship. With time she would regret choosing us.
>>29186704>>29186702I actually forgot about her.>>29186704>>loliWhy?Its just a fun dance.>RanaShe would be up for it.>Nicothat is why ii put it as denied.
>>29186713>>29186738Best queen around.
>>29186704>>loli>Noyou never had a kid dance on your feet? and it would be a great opportunity to talk sword with her
>>29186747>loliToo many open and semi open pedo nobles at this party, let's not do this.
>>29186692shit now I just feel even worse about retards trying to get out of the teacher thing we had with her.
>>29186153I feel the same>tfw Lucy had a fatal case of oneitis for rein>tfw we are most likely go for Marie>tfw we give a massive hope for a girl who basically resigned herself to have a loveless life>tfw when we will crush her spirit once we absolutely turn her downwhat are you guys doing? This is not being nice, good, grateful or whatever.I'm for pursuing Marie myself but the way you are acting, you know that soon even her father will acknowledge us. When that happens we either go for her or break her heart completely. There will be no delaying like with Sylvie, Lucy (her father specifically) simply does not have time.Also consider that she is Marie's friend If we break her heart, we will also fuck up relationship with Marie.basically, stop chasing all the fucking rabbits at once.
>>29186692Anything for Nico?
>>29186464Thank you sir. I hadn't lurked hard enough and this is my first time seeing this. Thank you.
>>29186790Have.
>>29186692We should try to help teach sylvie about the world, and then release her to find her own happiness.Feel good route established
>>29186801The only time we reject a girl is when we fear a route lock. Otherwise, the other factions generally sit back.
>>29186743Actually, it's doable. We're probably the only person that she'd feel comfortable even attempting to be equals with. Everyone else is way too far ahead. It's all about building confidence. Not interfering in her fight with Nikolaus and cheering her on was a good step.
>>29186801>basically, stop chasing all the fucking rabbits at once.I for one prefer the route where we simply sit down and enjoy bunnies even being there.
>>29186801Agreed. I'm a fan of Marie, but stringing Luci along like this is just dickish. We really need to pick someone. It'd be nice if it was Marie, but so long as no one goes full meltdown I'm good with whatever.
>>29186823And he's saying that being a gigantic tease who fucks around until because it's not like a route lock is dumb.
>>29186801Literally every girl is in that scenario, that's why we should strive to make them all happy, and find their own happiness.Then Reinhold can sit and watch them live their lives happy whilst he drinks alone and cries at night cuddling his sword.
>>29186823So you want to lock in the hate instead of the love. Interesting. Well, getting expelled from our region probably opens up some less savory routes, so that could be interesting.
>>29186839We are never, ever going to pick a waifu unless Arch has one of them take the initiative, which would cause a shitstorm.
>>29186856>Literally every girl is in that scenarioNot Nico. Not Rana or Carol or Meido or any of the minor characters either.
>>29186856Or he helps the non-choosen girls to find happiness elsewhere and finds his own happiness with his chosen.
>>29186801That's literally every girl, though.
>>29186801I honestly don't want to go after Marie, because unless she makes the first move, than it just feels like we'd be doing the same thing as Asshole Guard. And even then it just feels unprofessional and somewhat irresponsible to fall for someone when it is our job to give our life for them if necessary.
>>29186856>running himself through with Volker's swordThat would be an appropriate way for Rein to go, wouldn't it?
>>29186871One of them just took initiative and it went fine.
>>29186808Give me a sec. You guys are putting me on the spot a bit, since I only honestly thought about Luci's situation. It's fun doing these analyses though.
>>29186867This has nothing to do with my love of nat 1s. It was just an observation that trying to get the thread to change its habits is a futile struggle.
>>29186871You mean like the shitstorm that happened when Sylvie took some initiative? Yes, it would.>Captcha essibee INEVITABLECaptcha, stop taunting me
>>29186889By that I mean confesses to us and expects an answer immediately.
>>29186872Nico is dealing with trying to be a girl in a man's world.And she likes meido, which is even more delicate of a matter.Rana hasn't really gotten enough exposition yet, but yeah she seems fine. There are some minor characters that could be addressed too, I just can't think right now with how tired I am.
>>29186877The only reason anyone wants Marie is because she's implied to be true end.
>>29186771Anon this sounds adorable.
>>29186877>give our life for them if necessary.isn't that a trait many consider a good thing in husbands
I believe the Luciana faction has been pleased, now is the time to move on to the other girls if given the appropriate chance.
>>29186901That is so bullshit and I wish people would stop saying it.
>>29186891So you're saying that you're not aiming to be hate fucked nightly by a drunken oni in the middle of bumfuck nowhere? Disappointing.
>>29186877I thought she was little sister.
>>29186901I actually like her the most, personality wise.Second are Nico and Luciana
>>29186920The only reason I want Marie is because she's implied to be the true end.
>>29186901Which is completely retarded and makes no sense in a Quest.I was the guy that ranted about that shit a few threads ago.
>>29186901there's a true end for every route anon
>>29186713>[2/2]Pushing that little bit of embarrassment to the back of your mind, you let out a long sigh and make your way towards the Princess and her father. After a bit of weaving around people and dodging another attempted groping (fortunately, you actually saw the hand coming this time), you make it to where they're standing..."...so both Gregory -and- Vincent were pissed at this guy, and it was all I could do to keep them from killing him right there on the spot... Arnaud wasn't any help either, since I could see that he was going his best to keep from doing the same," Thierri sighs. "And just as I was tempted to just bop them both in their heads to make them calm down..."Seeing you approach, Thierri starts waving his arm excitedly."Oh hey, it's Reinhold!" Thierri laughs. "Hey Alberto, this is Marianne's bodyguard!""Oh, so -this- is the guy..." Alberto(?) says as he turns to you. "I'm Luciana's brother Alberto, it's nice to meet you.""Likewise," you say, bowing."What brings you over here?" Thierri asks. "Wanted to ask Marianne for a dance?" he laughs."I've danced with him -far- more than I'd ever like to, thank you very much," Marianne sighs.>tell her about the baby>ask he to dance>hang out for a bit>[OTHER]
>>29186928Hey now, I didn't say that anywhere.
>>29186920I think it's a part of it, but she is a good girl behind all the moodyness
>>29186949Where is that implication though? The Meido is the implied true end, we just rejected that already.
>>29186839>long as no one goes full meltdown
Problem with Luciana is if we hook up with her, then what? We've got her, presumably as a second daughter she comes to Granache to live with us and hang with Marianne, and everyone lives happily ever after and the quest is over.
>>29186952Weren't you also the guy that got like 10 replies immediately stating that people found her the best match for Reinhold and the most natural option
>>29186901We call her true route because in feel and circumstances, her being with reinhold feels the most natural.
>>29186958>where's the sacchin routeSOON

>>29186961>>tell her about the baby
>>29186961"Well, there goes that idea, then.">tell her about the baby
>>29186961>tell her about the baby
>>29186975And that wouldn't happen with every other character?
>>29186961"while it's good to know your opinion about dancing with me, i actually came to let you know that the queen has brought <baby's name> down and is currently sitting with gregory"gotta keep up the sarcastic jokes
>>29187004+1
>>29186995This. Snark it up.
>>29186961>Marianne there's a wild BABY on the loose! The last I heard it was spotted with its mother making its way toward its uncle Gregory. If we hurry we may be lucky enough to observe it in its natural habitat. So, interested?"

Alright, speaking purely rationally there are three main camps:Luciana, Marie and Sylvie.of these three Reinhold seems attracted most to Marie, followed by Luci, and Sylvie has a strong fan following.Can we all agree that - realistically speaking - it would benefit everyone to eliminate the others from the running? For the sake of us and the individual girls.>>29186961>tell her about the baby"No, just had a quick message for Marie. I apologize if I interrupted you, your Majesty."
>>29186961"You wound me gravely princess, and after I thought I was improving."Then >tell her about the baby
>>29186995I like this fund it
>>29186961>tell her about the babyI bring tidings of babby"Too be fair, i've improved dramatically from the gangly awkward stiff that was once before"
>>29186856it is not as bad as it is for Lucy. No one will force Sylvie, Nico, Marie etc marry someone who they don't love. Lucy does not have such privilege. To give some shitty example to show what we are doing:this is not unlike going to a dungeon, finding a kidnapped prisoner who had been kept as a slave for years. Acting like a knight in shining armor, being nice friendly feeding them etc and the simply leaving them to rot forever.Sure, MAYBE someone else will come and save them before they die but considering how much time it took for the first one it is very unlikely. The other girls will cry and move on with their life, pursue other romantic notions later at their own pace. Lucy is going to be married of to someone. So please, unless we make in character decision to pursue her, stop with this shit. This also applies to other girls.
>>29186995I second this.
>>29186995I like it. A nice jab before getting to the point.
>>29186961>>tell her about the babyBut chime in, "Well if you change your mind about dancing, you know where to find me.">>ask he to dance

>>29186995>>29187019Combine these.
>>29186978You know, except for the part where she doesn't consider him a person so your really implying that the princess gets off on beastiality.
>>29187004We already knew her opinion though.
>>29187061Doesn't consider him a person, yet.
>>29186977Yeah, but I haven't really changed my position on it. While they do have great interactions with each other, I'm just not feeling anything between them romantically.
>>29187036Then we talk to Celestino if it comes to that and ask that he be more understanding and sympathetic to her feelings.Jeez it's not all bad

>>29186995>>29187019I like these two, maybe have the first one lead into that one. Although, all of the dances is an outright lie. Let's go with most.
>>29187003Not as much. The rest have more by way of issues for us to deal with. Luciana has some issues but they're the sort that slowly get ironed out over decades, not the sort you can have fun drama and SoL about.

>>29187061Doesn't consider him a person yet. You do realize the true end is usually the longest route, right?
>>29187070or have Marie's father tell him that since he'll probably listen to him
>>29187068The whole reason I like Marie is because I don't feel ANY of the girls romantically but they're all falling over Reinhold's swag anyway.If least if it happened with her I'd have less trouble believing or accepting it.
>>29187112God, we've been stuck on Dog for so long now. Remember in first threads when we would level every other thread? I miss those times
>>29187112So, Monique?
>>29187061You what. Oh lordy. How meta is that.I refer to their interactions. They're the most natural and rein and marie are very comfortable with each other.Look at the pre-party interaction. Both rein and marie are victims of sexual abuse. She was able to react like a normal girl instead of flipping out and Reinhold thought NOTHING of being half-naked infront of her.I cannot understate how big an indicator that is.
>>29187151I think we leveled too quickly and now Arch is stalling to get more time in with the other girls and stuff.Pacing seems to be a problem of his.
>>29187107Except for the personality match. She doesn't accept him as a person because of her issues. She's slowly realizing that Reinhold is a person and when she fully does she'll understand that she wants more than just friendship with him.>"wait, this is a person. And not just any person"
>>29187152I honestly would like to do monique route. Archelon said no gay, so it would be bro route only, but that's not a bad thing.
Right now our relationship with Luciana is in the exact same spot it was with Sylvie towards the beginning of the quest. Everyone is on the band wagon right now but it's just a matter of time before TG turns on her like a pack of wild dogs just like they did the young mage.
>>29187173Wait, Rein was half-naked in front of her?
>>29187173Reinhold has been the happiest in company of Sylvie and Nico, don't twist it like he came to the princess for any reason other than his job.It may be different now, but the whole reason he's natural with the princess is because he HAS TO, it's his fucking job. If anything, it's the most forced of the interactions.
>>29187181I don't see a pacing problem. I mean, Luciana's pacing is fucked but that's kind of part of her personality.
>>29187151Higher levels generally take more XP than lower levels, after all.It just wouldn't seem right if you could hit max level from grinding social platitudes all day.>>29187196We sort of just started changing into our dress uniform while mid conversation with her.Somewhat for metagamey make-the-princess-blush reasons, but it wasn't totally unreasonable IC either.
>>29187196Yeah, topless, showing off his chiseled abs.
>>29187208This.
>>29187183That's not a "route". Brodom isn't mutually exclusive so we can do that along with any of the girls.
>>29187188We were young and stupid, give us another chance.We can play it cool now that we've got our footing.
>>29187182What have we really done to make her fall for us, though? We've gone out of our way to be nice to her, yes, but love is more complicated than that.
>>29187218It's fine. Filthy animals are allowed to wander around unclothed.
>>29187208Dude, he confides in the princess regularly and pretty much treats her like a member of his family. We just saw that the last several threads.It isn't bro times and goofing off like it is with those two but they're clearly comfortable around each other.
>>29187218>implying he has thatHe's an actual functional swordsman. They're going to be covered by at least a quarter inch of fat, which is enough to hide definition, and probably won't be super defined anyway, because that's a body-building thing.
>>29187242>What have we really done to make her fall for us, though?Ask that same question for the other girls.What have we done for Marie? More than we've done for them.
>>29187208>the whole reason he's natural with the princess is because he HAS TO, it's his fucking jobnot trying to force a mari route but his job is guarding her, not getting her cakes or confiding to her about his past
>>29187261This is anime, he's totally got visible muscles.
>>29187242Sometimes, not really.
>>29187208Bullshit.How forced is it if the only person hes ever come completely clean about his history with is marianne.
>>29187250That comfort is more a sign of not having passionate feelings at all, it's platonic right now.And the only time he confides is her is when he had misstep like with the dance fiasco.>>29187278Reinhold is clearly a nice guy, so it's natural that he tries to help someone in who is obviously mixed up. Plus it makes his job easier, i'm not saying it's not a good relationship, but as of now it is not definitive love.
>>29187280Pecs, sure. Biceps, sure. Even lats, maybe. But abs? I'm not really seeing that as remotely viable.
>>29187280>>29187261
>>29187299Because he fucking grouped her, he had to explain his actions.>>29187317Arch said he's on the skinnier side, so I imagine wiry.
>>29187299Not very, that confession was necessary to maintain her trust in us and explain our actions. We can't be a good bodyguard if she doesn't trust us. Has she reciprocated and told us about the bad times of her youth?
>>29187324I see 3 or 4 faces there.
>>29187307>And the only time he confides is her is when he had misstep like with the dance fiasco.Are you stupid? When Marie asked about Citrine, he gave her the true story. When he told her about Grandma, he gave her the entire story. Compare that to everyone else who either found out on their own and/or got the bare minimum of info to
>>29187317And why not? It's not like any of his training builds fat and he's always been described as slenderSo a workout that builds muscle, especially core muscles which are essential for combat, and a distinct lack of body fat in general sounds like ab city to me.
>>29187324Oh hey, it's Lucianna's bodyguard! Looking good bro.
>>29187342>Because he fucking grouped her, he had to explain his actions.All he did was say he was sorry and that he didn't mean it. He didn't explain shit about his history then.
>>29187274>Sylviewas explained as above>NicoWe're her second best friend and tend to have alot of fun together.>LucianaAgain, was explained as above.>MarianneUh... We got her a cake? We spend alot of time with her because it's our job to, and just because the personalities match doesn't mean they'd make a great couple.
"Well, there goes that idea..." you say, snapping your fingers in a dejected manner. "...anyways, I came here to tell the Princess Marianne that the Queen's showed up with her baby and I thought that she might like to see her."The second you mention the baby, Marianne's face lights up."Oh, s- so she's finally here? Well, I guess I should probably greet them at the very least...""Just look at her," Thierri laughs as he points to his daughter. "Trying to pretend like she's not excited to play with a real-life baby...""I- it's not like that, Father!" she stammers in a futile attempt to play it off like what he just said is somehow not completely true.>[1/2]
>>29187350Why wouldn't he tell her of obvious, relevant things?It's not indicative of any higher relationship than trust, which I think he gives pretty freely around considering he accepted Gramma's story right then and there in the graveyard.
>>29187367Okay, look. You're obviously being willfully ignorant at this point. We have actively gone out of our way to address her insecurities and personal problems. We gave her a signal to use at this dance even though we didn't need to, we arranged so she could get back on speaking terms with her friends again through that tea party, and we consistently try to get her to open up and make her happy on a day-to-day basis.Look at this entire party. We've done everything we could to make it something enjoyable for her and we've barely talked to anyone else for long periods of time outside of our family and that was with her
>>29187350He can tell her because she's emotionally safe. There's no lasting repercussion to her knowing and she isn't the type to spread it around.Also, we would tell any of the others, in full, if they asked, so I just dont see you your point stands.
>>29187324You forgot the chin
>>29187367>Marianne>Uh... We got her a cake?>Got her cakes on Rein's day off>Can't even remember the party was organised to help her reconcile with her friends.>Forgot the ADORABLE ALPACA SOFT TOY>Constant bringing her news and people that would help cheer her up on bad days like theseGeez man, do you even read this quest.
>>29187431> We're good at our job and go above and beyond for our client!I agree.> That means we're meant to be together!Lost you there.
>>29187471Where did I say that?The point I was making is that Reinhold does a lot more for Marie and saying how that doesn't equate to something leading to romance when three other characters fell for Rein for less is stupid.This isn't some meant to be shit. This is me telling you that there is no reason why Marie wouldn't be interested in Rein like the other girls based on what Rein has done for them.
>>29187431And you're willfully ignorant that he's doing that because he's a nice guy. Or rather, /tg/ likes to be nice. Not that that's a bad thing.The only reason we take special consideration into it is because again, it helps make the job easier, and we are by nature spending most of our time around her, so, also naturally, would have more understanding on her situation.If we spent more time with Luci, like we were going to until interrupted, i'm sure ray ray would have been his usual good self.Regardless, his argument is dumb and has no purpose until we get a good feel for what is best for everybody and ourself.
>>29187466Pretty much this.
>>29187431>We have actively gone out of our way to address her insecurities and personal problems.Because we're her friend.>We gave her a signal to use at this dance even though we didn't need toBecause we're her friend and bodyguard. A subtle movement to indicate danger or discomfort to her guardian is not a rare thing.>we arranged so she could get back on speaking terms with her friends again through that tea partyBecause they are all our friends, and getting them back together was pretty much going to happen sooner or later.>we consistently try to get her to open up and make her happy on a day-to-day basisAgain, because we are her friend.
>>29187508>>29187521Do you guys not even read the posts I'm responding to?See >>29187502 and >>29187274
>>29187382>[2/2]"I suggest that you don't get your hopes up to much, Marianne..." Alberto shrugs. "While she -is- completely adorable, Chiara's like, REALLY mean. She even hits our father.""I suppose that means that all three of Lisette's daughters are feisty," the King says with a chuckle."Yet somehow my little brother's somehow the timid one," Alberto says with a wistful smile. "...anyways, I just thought that I should warn you about my baby sister's violent tendencies.""Er, thank you, I guess?" Marianne replies. "Since you're the one who knows where they are, I suppose that you can lead the way," she says, turning to you."No problem," you reply."Have fun," Alberto says with a chuckle. "Try not to let her give you a black eye like she did to Giancarlo that one time...""...in the meantime, I think I'll have your father finish his story about how he kept Uncle Gregory and Sir Vincent from starting a war," Alverto says as he adjusts his glasses."Have fun, you two!" Thierri says, waving to you as you leave.>talk as you walk to THE BABY?
>>29187541'Alberto seems like an alright guy'
>>29187541"I personally think you and Chiara will get along perfectly."
>>29187541"Just give me the signal and i'll defend you from the monster babby"
>>29187541"He seems like a nice guy. So, how are you enjoying yourself so far?"
>>29187541"You seen to be having more fun than you expected at this party." Tease the Marie abit.
>>29187541"Have fun with your Dad?
>>29187541Give her a quick warning that the baby even hits Luciana so just be careful
>>29187541Time check on the party?Seems like a lot of time passed or a lot of stuff happened in the party. Nice to probably know when we're leaving.

>>29187577>>29187579Combine these.
>>29187579I agree. Tease her a little and ask her if she's having fun with her dad.
>>29187557Oh man, this is the kind of thing you know is a bad idea to say, but have a hard time resisting regardless because it's too funny.>>29187541"I was wondering if I should warn you about that; she did seem pretty feisty, but I was kind of hoping it was just that the impossibly poofy baby dress wasn't sitting well with her."...Chiara IS related to Nicolette, after all.
>>29187541"I'm honestly hurt that your excitement for this baby mad you completely ignore me implying I wanted to dance. I didn't even get a jab from you out of it."
>>29187634Hello and good night

>>29187653I am a bit surprised she didn't even acknowledge it.
>>29187670This is pretty excellent.
>Arch's face right now trying to pick dialogue
>>29187706That's just ridiculously incorrect on so many levels.
>>29187576+1 Maybe change Defend to Shield.
I see the troll who has been misnaming breaker quest has struck again
>>29187670I'm going to have to go with this.
>>29187706On females you're KINDA right.I mean they're heading outside of healthy bodyfat areas but they haven't really stepped over a line that can be considered completely unhealthy.Males it's not near unhealthy.Not a good idea in a cold climate but not unhealthy.
>>29187781Does that guy have nothing better to do?
>>29187781...god damn it.
>>29187781>Generic Harem Quest #415>Something about a man being assigned to a princess and be her personal toy/guard.>Feminism, Harem, Turkish Agenda, Generic, QuestI'm thinking it's just another misarchivist or the Breaker guy just decided this was his thing now. The guy misarchiving Breaker very clearly knew what was going on in the quest and had a personal vendetta.
>>29187706With a proper diet and minimal abdominal excersize you can get pretty decent abs. Educate yourself.
>>29187811Just email Licorice.
>>29187815>Turkish Agenda???
>>29187781At least he tagged it 'quest' this time.
>>29187781>>29187815The Olog-Hai are getting more vicious.
>>29187819>proper dietwe average half a dozen TURKEY LEGS per day

Rolled 74, 81, 10, 93 = 258>>29187830Harem anon
>>29187781I will probably regret asking but what its this quest about? is it any good?
>>29187819Of course you can. But it's really not optimal for health.>>29187806On men, we're talking single digits of percent bodyfat. The threshold is like, 6-8 in most cases. Anything below 11 is liable to cause lessened functional muscle formation and can result in minor starvation symptoms.
>>29187862it's like a combo of MGNQ and BFQ.
>>29187862It's about feminism in a harem, promoting the turkish agenda.
>>29187862Magical Girls and gender-bending. It's pretty interesting and the writings good but it's about being a guy turned into an exhibitionist girl so it's not for everyone.
>>29187881What if I read neither Monstergirl Now! Quest nor Battlefield Quest and have no context for that?
>>29187862 breaker involves magical girls genderbending and fetishes...so many fetishes.. but it still is fairly goodafter the first time the qm switched to foolz
>>29187862Gender-bending. Exhibitionism. Magical Girls. Lewd Stuff. Killing demons with Speed Force.
>>29187896Picked up. Thanks!
>>29187862swordsman wins royal sword tournament and becomes princess's new bodyguard. lots of daily life of royal folk events unfold similar to a VN (QM has stated that there will be no harem route), we got through the first month of prologue and are now attending fancy noble party in neighboring country where shit may or may not go down (had to deal with would be kidnappers the day before)
>>29187939He was asking about Breaker Quest, anon.
>>29187908guy turned to a girl through magic, becomes a magical girl to get his penis back, /tg/ picked a class that if uses too much magic he can develop lewd thoughts that leads to lewd situations.
>>29187953How do you know?
>>29187967He linked to a post about breaker quest and asked about it.
"You seem to be having more fun at this party than I'd expected," you say to Marianne as you walk."And you seem to have had more fun dancing with Luciana than -I- had expected," Marianne bites back. "Though I'm not sure how well her father would have responded had he seen your little performance..." she says with an amused smile....you weren't expecting HER to have been keeping tabs on YOU as well..."...anyways," Marianne sighs, "I can't say that I'm enjoying the -party- itself, but I do appreciate being able to spend some time with my father like this," she says as she looks back at him."Yeah, he seems to be enjoying himself there," you reply."Yes... those two always got along rather well. Alberto enjoys Father's stories, and Father enjoys having an appreciative audience."Judging from how into his story the King seems to be, you can definitely see that.>[1/?]
>>29187953i realize that now that i see the other responses
>>29187967Because PrinnyAnon lives here, too
>>29187967 cause every one else assumed but none the less lets get back to our fun and not let that jerk ruin the party
>>29187991It was really just because when asking he linked to a post talking about Breaker Quest.
I just want to point out that this doesn't sound similar to BFQ at all. That was about being a single mom going to school.
>>29187991then who will ruin the party? milien, monique, people after luci, fluffy tails, suddenly dragons, who?
>>29187976Oh MarieThe Princess is keeping tabs on her Bodyguard now.What a role reversal.
>>29187976>"And you seem to have had more fun dancing with Luciana than -I- had expected," Marianne bites back.>nowhere near enough information to be able to judge if she's jealous or just teasingDammit archelon. These kind of things are supposed to be easier in escapism than real life, not harder.
>>29187976"do you and lucianna wear the same brand of perfume? you both smell alike."do not say this
>>29188014They're just using BFQ to mean smut quest.It's more like Ass Quest and even though it shares the lewd voice and gender-bending that's still very different.
>>29188042I vote for this.
>>29187991 wrong party...i mean ours the voices in reinhold/moniques head
>>29188042That just makes me want to vote for it even more you know.
>>29188042God damnit. How many times will it take people to realize you don't make joke suggestions? People are fucking faggots who'll think this is hilarious.
>>29188042I actually kind of really want to go with this but I think I'm going to vote against it anyway.
>>29187939>>29187967ok I'll admit that i could have wrote that better>>29187927>>29187914>>29187896and I was right, I do regret asking since now I want to give it a look despite the magical realm, guess I'll pot it next to the other to 2 quest i want to give a look>>29187986good to se that my presence don't go at all unnoticed even thou I don’t exactly contribute much to some threads dood
>>29187819I can't be the only one who thinks that this looks ... off, right? Being fit is admirable but that is something else entirely.
>>29188042No.
>>29188042>>29188064
>>29188074It appeals to me not as a joke, but as an actual thing to say for turning possible jealousy into a possible Marie flag. But I think it's a bit too awkward and forward to actually go with.
>>29188029i think she was keeping tabs on her best friend rather than him..i hope she doesn't suspect anything, she gets too smart for her own good sometimes.
>>29188080No worries bro. Been here long enough to see all the times your name's popped up.
>>29188042This, we need to try and difuse any negative feelings she might for us.
>>29188100Considering she was worried about Luci hurting Rein being too forward because of his trauma, she was probably watching out for Rein.
>>29188083Nah, you would be right. Bear or athletic mode is the way to go.
>>29188100>i think she was keeping tabs on her best friend rather than him..Yeah this is a good point, she already warned Luciana off of us a bit so she might have been keeping an eye in case she needed a sudden chaperone. Or in case we tugged our ear. Maybe she was hoping we would.
>>29188080Give it a shot. It's basically lewd meguca.All options are basically an eventual bad end unless we're really lucky or good at balancing shit and it's basically about what poison you prefer.
>>29188042Voting against this. It's creepy as hell.
>>29188125i now want carol's mom try to "convince" us to dance just so we have a reason to tug ear
>>29187976"Prince Alberto seems to be a decent guy," you say to Marianne."Yes, he's rather laid back and gets along with pretty much everyone," Marianne replies. "Though he's said countless times that he has no actual interest in the throne, everyone in the royal court is quite relieved that -he- is the crown prince as opposed to one of his siblings."Considering that Giancarlo seems to be a philandering douchebag and Luciana's description of her older sisters wasn't really flattering either... "From what little I know of the situation here, I can understand that," you reply."Arnaud says that those who actively don't seek power are usually the ones who would do the best job with it," Marianne says, shrugging. "It's the same situation as Father, I suppose... though I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Celestino was the king for another hundred years."Just how old IS that guy, anyways?>[2/?]
>>29188112>>29188125Honestly, she's probably just relieved Rein isn't in full trauma mode.
Rolled 29, 82, 54, 20 = 185>>29188042DOET DOOO IT
>>29188080Genderbent Everjailbait Magical Monstergirl Exhibitionist With Big Hips Transformation Quest and Genderbent Everloli Magical Monstergirl Exhibitionist Quest is what the troll named breaker btw....if you decide you like it enough to want the 8 and 9th chapters
>>29188145is alberto married btw?
>>29186890>>29186808Actually, let me do Marie first, since she's easier, and I need to reread the archives a bit for Nico. Marie's a bird too - a broken one. Her old bodyguard, fuck if I can remember his name, was one of the few constants in her life. Therri was too busy ruling, her mother was dead, and she had begun to grow distant from Nico and Sylvie. Her only constant companion was that bodyguard; and while she didn't like him, she trusted him. She trusted him enough to keep her safe.And he broke that trust. Violently. One anon remarked that Arch very realistically and painfully portrayed Marie as an assault victim, and I agree wholeheartedly. The anger, the low self esteem, it's all there.So Marianne's withdrawn into her own world, which became even littler that it already had been. Her attitude, her emotionless mask - all of it's a defensive mechanism to keep people from getting close. One that was strong enough to alienate her from even some of the closest people around her. And yet we're doing just that - we're invading that little world. When we go out on the town with her, when we honestly show interest in what she's doing, what she enjoys, we begin to see the bits and pieces that she's tried to hide away from the rest of the world. We're getting closer to her despite whatever she wanted. And it terrifies her.She's terrified to trust people. She believes everyone, except for her father, will eventually hurt her if she trusts them. Her violent outburst after our "accident", a day after finding out just how nice we are is a good indicator for her reaction to that. And she's right actually - it's what people do. Reinhold's just in the process of proving to her that wounds heal - by showing her our scars.
>>29188155This shit needs like archived or something, it's good
>>29188145Exactly how strong is Celestino, in terms of magicBecause everyone talks about him as though he is going to live forever. Arch said that the life extending effects of magic aren't *that* significant, so Celestino must be powerful enough to tear continents asunder.Or he's a vampire
>>29188154Yes, his betrothal was decided before Marianne was even born.Celestino kind of regrets it, since Marianne would most likely actually go for Alberto were he still a bachelor.But as it is, he's a family friend and she doesn't see him that way.
>>29188155You forgot the part about how she reacted to our past and how she thinks(know) that we had it worse than her, which causes her to feel guilty and feel like she would be taking advantage of our kindness.
>>29188155>fuck if I can remember his nameMilien Girardot>>29188175Every thread is archived. You can screencap if you want to repost it easily, though.
>>29188189That fits the abuse victim mentality, actually.
>>29188155someone please screen cap all these when he's finished
>>29188104got to see a fellow long time follower of this quest>>29188138senes interesting>>29188152thanks anon>>29188155cool you are back with the analyst!On a side note I’m following to many quest
>>29188178As a pure mage, he's around equal to Niklaus in terms of skill with a lot more magical capacity.The end result is that he's on-par with Gregory's total level of skill, though he's a fair bit more fragile due to being a pure mage instead of being a magic swordsman or the like.Ariane's stronger than he is, but much, much lazier.
>>29188222Theres no such thing as too many quest.
>>29188242>Ariane's stronger than he is, but much, much lazier.
>>29188155>>29186692>>29186153You're good at this. Also, credit to Archelon for writing characters capable of receiving descriptions this in depth.>>29188222I think a good percentage of us are still here, we just post a bit less.
>>29188222>long time followerBeen here from the beginning myself, picked it up on a whim but stayed for the quality.
Hey archelon, by the way, have you progressed in marking this up for Ren'Py?
>>29188297Ha.hahahhahahahahaha
>>29188285Same, it was funny seeing how the reason this quest grew so big was because of power gamers.(we had 2-4 shitstorms about equipment exh one making the player base bigger.)i think its the reason arch hates Powergamers so much.
>>29188297Just conceptual stuff and looking at what others have done with it at this point, I'm not starting on anything concrete for a while.Maybe later in the week, but I'm trying to get in all the questing I can in the next day or so before I leave for the dark lands of Kansas.
>>29188242>Reinhold is still literal joke character-tierWe beat Nicolette while she's gimping herself by not using a sword, we beat Takamaru while he couldn't use any ACTUAL killy-moves, we stopped assassins with Takamaru's help and spotted a spy because we dont know how to take a day off.
>>29188308>>29188285Heh, same here. I swear, if the first one hadn't been "Royal" I probably would have skipped it all together, but the writing is great. And thus did I spend several months ruining my sleep schedule.
>>29188308But that's wrong. More posts != more followers. People were just bitching more about stupid things then.
>>29188319>so before I leave for the dark lands of Kansas.HOW. LONG.HOW LONG TILL MY NEXT FIX
>>29188319>I'm not starting on anything concrete for a while.All you need to do is copy-paste the compilation and stick some super basic markup around spoken lines, though.
>>29188330it kept the quest on the front page for hours on end, hell you can see the increase of players if you check out the archives.
>>29188332Leaving for there on New Year's Day, dunno how long it'll be before I'm able to do the questing stuffs.inb4 my connecting flights get delayed and I end up running overnight in the airport
>>29188349He still has to plan for the routes and options we haven't taken
>>29188352>RTB ETA Unknown
>>29188243I don't like entering my SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK mode, and I'm having to do this more frequently to follow all the threads>>29188261The woman invented a new version of a spell just because her favorite color is pink, I'm not that surprised>>29188275>>29188285>>29188308good to knowalso is true that Archelon is really good in writing his characterswhich is necessary because with little 'outside plot' this quest really needs strong characters
>>29188352We shall hold candlelight vigils, that you may make a safe return from the plains of the damned, brave warrior.
>>29188360Couldn't he just go back and add them later? I'll admit I haven't done a big project in Ren'Py but I thought it was pretty simple to do that sort of thing.
>>29188319Kansas isn't that bad. At least compared to Oklahoma. Never again, never again.
>>29188349Pretty sure it's going to be a Visual Novel and not a Kinetic one.That's a lot of stuff to plan in terms of branching paths, what options will cause, etc.
>>29188297>Ren'Py????>>29188308>equipmentnot trying to powergame or start a shitstorm, but why didn't we get a dagger or two with some elemental magic in them? you never know when a source of heat or a perma cold piece of metal will come in handy, and you can never have too many knives>>29188324i believe arch officially ranked us as low tier knight power wise
>>29188366My sleep schedule is basically permanently ruined at this point.
>>29188383Ren'py is a visual novel making program thingy!
>>29188380Yeah, I saw a girl from Kansas once, and she was cute enough.
>>29188383>????Ren'py is an engine for making visual novels.>I believe arch officially ranked us as low tier knight power wiseWhich is basically a joke character, considering the people he's surrounded by.
>>29188352
>>29188380Nebraska, nigga. There's a road. It goes through the middle. Corn fields and trees. There is literally nothing else for four hours of 70mph speeds.
>>29188378Trust me, that's not how you want to do this, especially when transcribing this quest. We get a lot of choices, the VN will have less, which means some of are choices always happen or they need to be completely edited into an entirely new scene.He can't just copy-paste this. He's looking at a lot of editing and rewriting.
>>29188380this seriously the roads feel like an old wooden rollercoaster
>>29188383>Ren'PyA visual novel engine which basically simplifies the process to copying your test and images into their editor. It's designed to be easy to work with, and it is. I'd say it's easier to make a Ren'Py VN than a basic html+CSS website.>i believe arch officially ranked us as low tier knight power wiseI believe that was literally just yesterday.
>>29188401Exactly.Also a LOT of rewriting to do.
>>29188401Also that editing and rewriting is very dependent on how he sets up the choices, branching paths, and routes.
>>29188400>Corn fields and treesBetter than Nevada. All it has between the borders is a couple pit stops. Other than that, nothing but rocks and a few dead bushes.
>>29188415You are also planning rewriting characters personalities?
>>29188415arch how much pizza do i have to buy you to write princess guard quest: inverse, where you reverse all of the dice roll results in pgq
>>29188415Don't get discouraged though, you got a lot of support for this I think
I fear our side discussion about the future of th e project has hampered arch in the present of it.... and I apologize for my own contributions to that... still it is good that you are looking to the future and are taking care of us your loyal fans arch
>>29188440Er, why would I?
>>29188440OH GOD I WANT ORIGINAL SCRAPPED LUCI

>>29188550I swear to god I'm going to be spending like ten grand on the kickstarter for all the stuff.
>>29188400>Corn fields and trees.>trees>pluralPassing into Nebraska through Wyoming is still one of the most surreal experiences of my life. It's all huge sheer cliff faces and winding roads and then suddenly out of nowhere it's Nebraska and there's NOTHING.>>29188242I'm a little curious what being "lazier" entails when it comes to this system of magic. Is it about not keeping up with draining/refilling your reserves in order to increase them, winging it when it comes to the "directing intent" when casting, not going out of your way to try and gain new knowledge, or some arbitrary combination of those?Could it be that Celestino is so focused on maintaining his seat of power that his singleminded focus on magical training is actually all in pursuit of a soul ascension so he can stay king forever?
>>29188145>[3/3]As you get closer to where the others are, the faint smile on Marianne's face grows wider and wider..."Remember when we get to the baby," you turn to her. "Blocking is important, but footwork is IMPERATIVE," you say, giving a thumbs-up."...thanks for the concern," Marianne replies, rolling her eyes. "In the event that she -does- attack me, I expect you to step in and take the hit for me like a good bodyguard should.""Very well, Princess," you say with a slight bow.Your goofy banter done with, it's not long before you make it to Sir Gregory's table. He's sitting down while holding the decidedly less angry Chiara as he talks to his sister...Elena is jumping up and down excitedly while listening to Agnes...Nicolette and Melanie are sitting at an adjacent table, laughing about something......all while Luciana, Takamaru and Andreas watch everyone else do their thing. And naturally, they're the ones who see the two of you coming."Back to the cool table, eh?" Andreas says, waving you over. "It's also nice seeing you again, Princess.""Likewise, Sir Andreas," Marianne replies.>talk to the peoples>introduce BABYTIMES>let Luciana introduce the baby>ask Elena to do it instead>[OTHER]

>>29188600>I'm a little curious what being "lazier" entails when it comes to this system of magic.In Ariane's case, I meant that she doesn't bother with trining or any of that stuff, instead spending most of her time cooking or playing with the kids or other wifely duties. The last time she did anything resembling actual practice in that area was the day that her father decided to finally settle down in Granache after a lifetime of adventuring.Most of her magic use these days is basic "make my daily life easier" stuff or the spells she teaches Bernard. (Sylvie helps sometimes too)>Could it be that Celestino is so focused on maintaining his seat of power that his singleminded focus on magical training is actually all in pursuit of a soul ascension so he can stay king forever?Part of it is out of guilt for what happened back in the day, part of it is out of a basic desire for self-improvement.Celestino actually hates being King even more than Thierri does, but his ideals of how things SHOULD be are too strong for him to rest until he's certain that he won't be needed anymore.
>>29186856you make it sound like it's a sad end.it's not.
>>29188784Waiting
>>29188853It's one true route
>>29188869It's not rare that we wait for half an hour. Stahp.
Marianne's looking at the baby longingly... you can just tell that she'd love nothing more than to snatch Chiara from Sir Gregory's lap and start playing with her right here and now. Best to get this over with before the anxiety kills her."Um, Sir Gregory?" you call out."Hm? Oh, you brought Marianne," Sir Gregory replies."...mind introducing her to the little Princess there?" you ask."Heh..." Sir Gregory says, smiling evilly as he looks at Marianne's eager face. "This little cutie is my littlest niece, Chiara. Say hi to the other Princess, Chiara!" he says as he makes the baby wave at her."BASSGHGHGSHGLAAAAAA" Chiara shouts. Maybe that's her way of saying "hi?""This is Marianne, she's your big sister's best friend!" Sir Gregory says, poking Chiara on the nose. "And most people find her even harder to deal with than you, isn't that funny?" he laughs as he tickles the baby's stomach."C'mon, Gregory..." Lisette sighs.>[1/?]
>>29188927I'm not complaining dipshit.
>>29188946What's with the hostility?
>>29188946Create a fucking twitter then. There's plenty of people waiting that aren't bitching about it.
>>29188944Ouch, Sir Gregory
>tfw after tonight, due to getting transferred to the night crew, I have the added bonus of never sleeping through a PGQ again
>>29188944Y'know, I'm starting to wonder why Gregory couldn't handle the bodyguard gig. They said it was because he couldn't stand her but here he is playing with a baby that likes him.What happened to make this guy not like her? How bad was the situation?
>>29188968It was just a freindly way of saying hi.Plus i was happy after a good fap>>29188960It came off as hostile to me, don't no why maybe it was the way stop was spelled.
>>29188988Because he antagonizes her and Marie doesn't take it well.
>>29188988Gregory was only second to Aquaman when it came to Marie's favorite people in the world, the bodyguard incident must've lead to one hell of a falling out
>>29188988I think because they wanted the bodyguard to also help her mental, social, and emotional woes, not just physical.And I don't think that's Gregory's area of expertise.
>>29189024I'm thinking we need to go farther back, since she was estranged before said incident.It might have something to do with her mom, or being forced into the princess classes.
>>29189044Yeah, but some dude who's good with a sword isn't guaranteed to be any good for that shit either.
>>29188944>[2/2]Ignoring Sir Gregory's comment, Marianne walks up to them and gets on eye level with the baby."Hello, Chiara!" Marianne says, her voice a lot higher-pitched than usual. "I'm Marianne!""Mmmmm..." Chiara says, puffing her cheeks out.And then."THPBPTPBTPTPPPPP"Chiara spits ALL OVER MARIANNE'S FACE."Chiara!" Luciana shouts as she races towards them and pops the baby on her hand. "I thought I told you to stop doing that!"Pulling her hand back from the pain, Chiara glares at her big sister..."BAAAA!" she shouts as she does her best to jump out of Sir Gregory's lap and punch her sister in revenge."C'mon now, that's enough of that," Sir Gregory says, patting the baby on the head. "...and here, Marianne. Looks like you need it," he says as he hands her a handkerchief with which to wipe the baby spit off of her face."...thank you," Marianne replies a she takes it from him and begins drying her face.>laugh, this is funny>change the subject>ask if Marianne wants to hold the baby>[OTHER]
>>29189051Yeah. Those classes and the time they take up probably have an affect on why she is the way she is now.Luci may not get a choice in marriage, but she has a ton of free-time and pretty much always will. Marie on the other hand has few days off and constant lessons every day to prepare her to be Queen
>>29189060You can't know till you tried. They knew Gregory wasn't the right person for the job, so they tried someone else. If it turned out to be a failure they'd fire him and find a new bodyguard.
>>29189072"I'm sure she didn't mean it."
>>29189072>Chiara spits ALL OVER MARIANNE'S FACE.
>>29189072>ask if Marianne wants to hold the baby"Well, Alberto did warn you. Not giving up there though, I assume?"
>>29189072The force is strong in this one.
>>29189060At least he's the right age.
>>29189072>ask if Marianne wants to hold the babyLet's see how Chiara fares with us too.

>>29189072>[OTHER]blow a raspberry at the baby in retaliation.
>>29188155And now for Nico, who is clearly a girl under a lot of pressure. Just look at who her parents are. Gregory? One of the greatest knights of the kingdom. Ariane? One of the strongest mages around. And her? She's the CAPTAIN of the Royal Guard. At what? 16? The girl is constantly living in the shadow of her parent's and probably having to constantly prove that she earned her rank at a job usually reserved for males, rather than having it bequeathed to her because of her lineage. It explains why she doesn't want anyone to know that Gregory is her father. She wants people to judge her for her own merits, before the inevitable comparisons to her dad.Which is a major reason why it's no surprise that she began to take an interest in Reinhold. I don't think he's even once compared the two of them. As such, being around Reinhold is a huge relief for her. There's no pressure - hell, she's comfortable enough with him now, that she can show him her girly habits, like her interest in jewelry. In the end, she can be herself without any fears of being comparisons being made. If I was a betting man, I'd say he's one of a few people without prior knowledge not to compare them. Coincidentally, a certain meido doesn't seem the sort to do that either....Honestly, I'm probably not even scratching the surface, but I'm tired, and need sleep.
>>29189092>>29189100>>29189102This. If we know anything. It's you've got to keep trying if you want this type of girl to warm up to you.
>>29189072>>Try not to smile too widely at baby antics>>ask if Marianne wants to hold the baby
>>29189072>ask if Marianne wants to hold the baby"I'm sorry I couldn't jump in the way in time."
>>29189111We should definitely say this."My apologies princess, I have failed you."
>>29189111FUCK
>>29189072LET THE BABY PLAY WITH THE BRACELETinb4 it eats itall according to keikaku
>>29189072>laugh, this is funny
>>29189111>>29189118>>29189125>>29189126This. Also get her to hold that baby. We didn't give up when Marie was cold to us at first. No way does Marie get to give up on Chiara.
>>29189113>There's no pressureExcept when he whups her at sparring.
Rolled 18>>29189111WHERE WAS OUR ROLL ARCH?
>>29189147Archelon forced us to fail!
>>29189113This is kind of weak compared to the others. I would have approached the more worthy rival angle. Nico is obviously not taking Reinholds skill and progress speed well.
>>29189113good night man!you need the energy for the rest of the waifu's incoming.
>>29189154>>29189171roll not to laugh
>>29188769Good to know.Though that said...>"Oh, he knows that. Father may be old, but his ideal vision of the world still hasn't changed," she replies. "That's why he's still concerning himself with Ancellotta's slave trade instead of just enjoying his old age in peace," she says as she takes a bite out of a turkey leg.>"Same lofty goals as Alsiradna, but with nowhere near his power... I really hope he knows what he's doing," the King says, letting out a long sigh.This doesn't exactly dissuade from the idea that he might think his goals might be easier to achieve from a higher state of existence.>>29189072>>29189126This is probably worth saying; it seems like it's just on the right side of teasing that she probably won't be too irritated with us for it.>[OTHER]>encourage Marianne not to let spittle discourage her from her chosen courseBabies are messy, after all.
>>29189072>ask if Marianne wants to hold the babyYou win that baby over, Marie.
>>29189111This.Kneel before her and accept the judgement for failing our duties.
>>29189111PRINCESS GUARD QUEST IS OVERWE FAILED
>>29189160>>29189142Yeah, like I said, I need sleep. Will probably go over the archives again and redo it in another thread, later.>>29189113And finally, Melanie is ... Melanie. For fucks sake, people, we know more about Rana than we do about the meido. and we just met her. I don't have much to work with, here people, other than she came from a dragon farm and her parents wanted her to meet some nice nobleman Shit, I think we know more about Monique then we do about Melanie...
>>29189113get some rest dood>>29189160give the guy a break, he is tired and already did 3 good analysis
>>29189111But she said if she hits. Chiara didn't hit her.
>>29189202Hit her with a projectile attack.
>>29189197We better be asking her for that dance soon.
>>29189111>Rein remembers the old tradition of the military when failing a mission.
So what time is it in the quest?
what if that baby had been a midget assassin in disguise? We failed, time to hang up our sword and becomes Luci's jigalo
>>29189113And now, for Dante Must Die challenge, do one for the Meido.
>>29189202SHE GOT BUKAKE'D
>>29189224Meido is actually very well adjusted, and seems entirely happy with her circumstances. She may be criticized as boring, but she's a more whole and healthy person than the other girls, and therefore clearly the best girl.
>>29189218>Implying we even have the right to touch Luci after failing her friend so badly
>>29189224see>>29189197it seems that this all we are getting for now
Reinhold baby dont be so down on yourselfyou know who else didnt have parents?BatmanYou could be batman one day Reinhold or atleast a less gay Robin
No.Don't laugh.This is funny as hell, but don't laugh. Marianne will kill you if you do. Better apologize instead."...I have failed in my sworn duty," you say as you bow your head in shame. "Please forgive me.""Ugh..." Marianne sighs as she gets done wiping off the baby spit and then throws the dirty handkerchief in your face. "...you can share in my misfortune in order to make up for messing up, then."After removing said handkerchief from your own face and handing it back to Sir Gregory, you turn to the Princess."You're not going to let this get you down, right?" you say as you turn back to Marianne. "Gonna try and hold her?""Yes, why don't you give that a try?" Sir Gregory joins in, QUITE enjoying this.>[1/?]
>>29189293>and then throws the dirty handkerchief in your face. "...you can share in my misfortune in order to make up for messing up, then."Alright, that was a great comeback.
>>29189293>"Ugh..." Marianne sighs as she gets done wiping off the baby spit and then throws the dirty handkerchief in your face. "...you can share in my misfortune in order to make up for messing up, then."You are learning Marie.
>>29189293I can feel a roll coming on.
>>29188769A man after my own heart. "god dammit. I hate being in charge, but god forbid I let you assbutts run shit. I want my government to govern, not stand around playing grabass with itself"
>>29189293>throwing the handkerchief in your faceEeeew, baby mouth.
>>29189314>>29189332Yeah, Marianne == best girl.
>>29189376I don't no about that but Marie and Rein really do give off that "old married couple" vibe quite a bit.
>>29189293She is growing adept in the ways of the snide and sarcastic.
>>29189293"So I've heard," Marianne says as she takes the baby from Sir Gregory. "Hello, Chiara... please don't spit in my face again."Chiara squirms for a bit in an attempt to get back to her uncle, but quickly gives up when she realizes that Marianne's not going to let her go. Instead, she turns to Marianne, draws her hand back, and...SMACKBefore you can even react, Marianne's met Chiara's hand with her own."You're not going to take me off-guard again," Marianne says to the baby with an evil smile on her face."BA! BA! BA!" Not one to be deterred, Chiara does her beat to actually get a hit in on the blonde princess... but it's no use. Marianne blocks every hit with her own hand, after a while it's almost looking like the two are playing pattycake."Wow, Marianne!" Lisette giggles. "You're like a pro at this!""Way better than Giancarlo fared," Luciana laughs.>[2/?]
>>29189421Soon she'll start stealing girls' heart left and right. Reinhold teaches her well.
>>29189388Marianne and Reinhold are pretty much the best with each other in a non-waifu sense.
>>29189433She'll make a great mother one day.
You an pretty cool bro OPGotta get up early tomorrow, I'm out
>>29189433>"So I've heard,"Wait, what's she responding to there? It's not us is it?
>>29189453Oh yeah, someday. Someday soon.
>>29189449And that's the best foundation for being together in a waifu sense.
>>29189433>MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA>ORAORAORAORAORA
>>29188383>i believe arch officially ranked us as low tier knight power wiseMakes you wonder why we were picked as a bodyguard for the princess considering that we may as well be a crippled dirtfarmer in terms of power level in this setting.
>>29189464She's not even married yet.
>>29189482that'sthejoke.png
>>29189482When has that ever stopped anyone?
>>29189460I think Arch accidentally a line somewhere.
>>29189479We won the tournament, and we're the right age to be a companion as well as a servant.
>>29189479The age. They didn't want some old dude, they wanted someone she can befriend and be together their whole life. And we are one of the mosnters of our generation.
>>29189479Because all the important people have more important things to do?
>>29189504More important than the heir to the throne? I really rather doubt that.
>>29189479low tier knight is still above like 90% of the human population, considering Knight seems to be as much of a powerlevel as it is a noble title.
>>29189479We're her everyday guard. 98% of the time, we should have a chance of handling an assassination: the Luciana kidnap attempt might be at the high end of normal assassinations.The important bit, of course, was to socialise Marianne. Maybe give her some cootie vaccination so that she doesn't hate boys (or people in general) for the rest of her life.I wouldn't be surprised if one day we find out that Thierri was adviced by someone mystic or crafty to pick us as her bodyguard. Or that that same person (be it legendary mage, elemental in disguise or dragon) was also part of our backstory.
Well, I can't keep staying up. Good night all, and make sure to get some sleep eventually.
>>29189520Well, when the kingdom is at peace and there isn't much intrigue, do you really need someone who can level cities guarding your heir?
>>29189433>"BA! BA! BA!"Waaaaait a minute.Are you sure you didn't mean "ペ! ペ! ペ!"...Even the NAME is close.
>>29189433>[3/3]"Looks like you might not be needed as a bodyguard after all, Reinhold," Sir Gregory says to you, smirking. "Marianne seems to be doing pretty well against the scourge of the baby menace.""In that case, maybe she can hand him over to me instead," Luciana says, winking at you.Unwilling to accompany their teasing, you simply laugh nervously as you turn back to Marianne...

After we had our fun with them, we should go over to the girls, we have given them quite some time alone and we have promised a dance to Mel.
>>29189541Hey Arch, you know that you dun goofed, right?>>29189460>>29189494>"Yes, why don't you give that a try?" Sir Gregory joins in, QUITE enjoying this.>"So I've heard," Marianne says as she takes the baby from Sir Gregory.
>>29189541>stick around with MariannePlay with Chiara.
>>29189541>>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversationSo arch will you include a joke section that will be like hatoful boyfriend, but with swords.

Rolled 19 + 1>>29189541>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversation
>>29189479We're not /really/ around to protect Mari. We're just supposed to look impressive to the droves of filthy shitheads and keep her moderately happy.
>>29189541>stick around with Marianne
>>29189541>talk with Sir Gregory
>>29189541Check on Agnes and Elena. Does elena have The Look in her eyes?We should got find Melanie after to make good on our final promised dance though
>>29189574>>29189574> dun goofed"Dun goofed" is too strong a phrase. It should be reserved for Demon Tier catastrophes, not screwing up a bit of dialogue in a /tg/-quest.
>>29189541>stick around with MarianneChiara is the only princess we haven't won over that we've met so far. Time to correct that.
>>29189541>stick around with Mariannethen:>join in on Nicolette and Melanie's conversationMake good on our dance promise.
>>29189596Speaking of which we haven't seen Sylvie in a while.>>29189577I don't know if Archelon can make something like Hatoful boyfriend.
>>29189541"Seeing as Chiara is almost better landing hits than me, i can leave your side with my heart at ease and go see what fascinating tales my grandmother is sharing with princess Elena."Leave with proper goodbyes to everyone, especially the queen.
>>29189602Since we're still only dog-tier, I'd say we haven't won over Mari yet.
>>29189598I know, but I figured Arch would consider it disastrous since he's willing to delete entire posts over typos.
>>29189482kek
>>29189596final? I thought we promised one to sylvie...and given your name...di I miss a sylvie dance or am I just not remembering right
>>29189541Agnes and Elena
>>29189541>stick around with MarianneMaybe talk to Lisette and Gregory while we're playing with the baby.
>>29189541>>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversationGRAN GRAN
>>29189541>stick around with MarianneThen go ask for that dance from Melanie.>>29189637We said we wouldn't mind if we had time. We didn't reserve anything.
>>29189541>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversationand then after a bit>stick around with Mariannesee how the adorable menace reacts to us after Marianne has had her fun, so as not to ruin her baby time in the case that Chiara doesn't like us so well.>>29189560This would be pretty interesting as well, but it's a little more Reinhold-centric than the other options, and we could easily ask him if he would mind telling us a bit more about their antics during the carriage ride back (unless it's unreasonable to split the party in a way that would be conducive to that.)
>>29189637We only made prior plans to dance with Luci and Medio. We can dance with others if there's time.
>>29189619>>29189649I can get behind a combination of these. Spend some time with gran-gran, play with babby, then go dance with meido
>>29189624Patience, friend. Her time will come.We haven't even complimented her on her dress yet have we?
>>29189541>>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversationElena's reactions are a go.
>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversationI want to see how destruction Granny has caused.
>>29189647>>29189659 totally glad i decided to begin contributing this thread also>>29189541 nico and maidio
>>29189541>stick around with Marianne>join in on Agnes and Elena's conversationDo a bit of both.
>>29189541Before we leave, lean in on Chiara and say"If anyone tries to attack Marianne, i trust you to spit and smack them your hardest princess Chiara, as the strong it is your responsibility to protect."
>>29189574Yay forgetting to copypaste lines of dialogue."Yes, why don't you give that a try?" Sir Gregory joins in, QUITE enjoying this."Very well," Marianne says, letting out a long sigh. "Hand her over.""Do be careful," Lisette chimes in. "She likes to hit.""So I've heard," Marianne says as she takes the baby from Sir Gregory. "Hello, Chiara... please don't spit in my face again.">writing
>>29189672Oh i know, i'm just waiting and keeping her fresh in peoples minds.
So I guess next thread arch or someone should archive it right after it's created, right?
>>29189778 some ass munch already did...insultingly
>>29189541>stick around with MarianneI miss being around our Princess
>>29189795That's why I'm saying next time, though.
>>29189778no need. someone new to tg just discovered missarchiving, ignore and it'll be gone soon. keep it a hot topic and their kind will increase multiplying.
>>29189778>>29189795 oops I misunderstood>>29189806 sorry...curse these slow typing and poor reading comprehension
>>29189778Eh, just email Lord Licorice and get it changed back.
>>29189826 no wait not curse...I mean blast....cause this is magical thread.... tempting fate
"Is she able to walk yet?" Marianne asks, turning to the Queen."A bit," Lisette replies. "Mostly she falls over, and that dress she's wearing throws off her balance so badly that there's no point in even trying.""That's probably why she's so mad today," Luciana says, rolling her eyes. "I have no idea why you decided to put her in that thing, Mother.""What, it's cute!" Lisette says, shrugging. "And it's not like I'd ever put her down here, she'd probably end up running off right away and one of the jerks that your father invited here would try and kidnap her or something."So even the Queen shares your opinion of the guests here at the party......and you suddenly find yourself with a baby in your face."Whoa!" you shout as you back away."Look, Chiara!" Marianne laughs. "He's afraid of you!">[1/?]
>>29189726Hey Arch, I've been wondering, why does it take so long between posts? I don't mean that in a whiny way; I'm just kinda wondering if you do like a shitload of planning with rough drafts and editing, etc. or if you just kinda write as it comes while doing other stuff.
>>29189991You're being a real whining faggot by asking that.Too fucking busy to wait those 30 minutes, hotshot?
>>29189990You take that back! Reinhold is afraid of no princess!
>>29189990No Chiara, no facehugs!
>>29190010Honestly, I would've wanted to go the exact opposite direction, and joked that of COURSE we were scared! Princesses are terrifying!
>>29190001I wasn't complaining or asking him to hurry up, I was just wondering why. Hell, if he just types slow or something that'd be cool with me.
Wait, where the fuck is Sylvie?
>>29190054She sort of disappeared after the Milien thing.
>>29189990 fear based on personal experience....id like to this it is warranted
>>29190052It just seems long to you because you wait idly, while OP is struggling to form a coherent story post.I do believe there are even slower writers among quest OPs.
>>29190069Oh yeh.Much slower.
>>29190064>She sort of disappearedTime for SHADOWRUNS?
>>29190064She went to get the shotgun after seeing Reinhold dance
>>29190054>>29190064It's quite possible she saw our dance with Luciana and is sobbing in a closet somewhere.
>>29190087Not really. The only reason we've talked to Nico and Mel since then is because they were hanging out near Gregory when we dropped granny off. Just like we didn't see Luci this entire party until we went and looked for her we just haven't seen Sylvie because we never went to wherever she is.
>>29190093... sudden realization....what if she did not run off for her shotgun and is cry>>29190105someone agrees even before I get the words out. on th other hand she did stare down luciana last time she was challenged>>29190114 but if she is not with rein..and not with any of the other party...where?....kidnapping number 2....by strangely fist-proof ninjas
>>29189990"BA!" Chiara shouts as she swings at your face... but you dodge it effortlessly. She might have caught you by surprise before, but you know that she's hostile so you're expecting it."Well she's clearly a pretty threatening baby," you reply with a chuckle."No you're not," Marianne says as she pokes Chiara in the belly. "You're a good girl, aren't you!""blyrayyyyryeeyaa" Chiara gurgles happily."At least she's good with someone aside from me," Lisette sighs. "Must be because you two are so similar in temperament," she says, punching her brother in the arm."Now that's just mean," Sir Gregory replies."Yes, I'm nowhere near as annoying as your brother," Marianne says.>[2/?]
>>29190087She's too smart to do something fooli->challenge an archmage to a wizard duelOh dear.>[paranoia intensifies]Arch, could we make a quick visual sweep of the ballroom, make sure every named NPC we know is accounted for and dragon twins are vigilant?
>>29190135Fuck, we need to search for her ASAP.
>>29190144We haven't seen Rana and Reya at all this party either.After we dance with Meido we should hit up the dragon siblings and such.
>>29190159 unlike sylvie who does not really have any one else to hang out with the dragons do
>>29190159My point is that, dragon siblings can easily deter any harassment form nobles, but I cannot be so sure about Sylvie, giver her personality.
>>29190166Sylvie has people to hang out with. The fact that she isn't hanging out with them likely means she found something else to do
>>29190174Umm, she got advice from her dad to not punch them but just shock them and everyone is going to be terrified of her because they're terrified of her dad.
>>29190178 tied up in some form of crazy monster trap that uses her own strength and magic to bind her
>>29190194This isn't even shadowrunning anymore.
>>29190198 you know nothing about the depths the shadows run
>>29190144Arch, please do it.>make a quick visual sweep of the ballroom, make sure every named NPC we know is accounted for and dragon twins are vigilant?
>>29190087she's the one trying to get Luci kidnapped because she knows she loves us
>>29190137Deciding to make a retreat from this situation before it gets ugly, you focus your attention elsewhere. Thierri and Alberto are still talking... you can see Rana chatting with what looks like the top of Sylvie's head over by the food... Reya's arguing with a nobleman... and Monique's back. Great.While you don't see Citrine, Marius or Celestino anywhere, they're most likely putting the final touches on the presentation of Marius's painting. Probably.>[3/?]
>>29190213I'm pretty sure the ballroom is pretty large and filled with people. We would have to search for every character.
>>29190221Time to go talk to Sylvie and Dragon Waifu?
>>29190211I'm pretty sure I do. I'm not diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for nothing.
>>29190221>you can see Rana chatting with what looks like the top of Sylvie's head over by the foodThank gods.
>>29190242>I'm not diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for nothing....OR ARE YOU?
>>29190239We should give Melanie her dance first.
>>29190221 ....darn I was actually enjoying my imagination running wildcapchka:whatdays autopsy.....even capchkas shadowrunning
>>29190221phew. Thank you Arch.If there is gonna be a Happening, it hasn't even begun.
>>29190248Who?
>>29190252>hope>in my not-america in spacepfffffft
>>29190248Sorry what dance?
>>29190248even without all the 'lol, who?" i'm not sure if it's a good idea to steal melanie away from nico
>>29190290Alright, that was not the best image I could have used. Sorry.
Either go see Sylvie or one of the Dragon siblings. We haven't really talked to them much during the party.
>>29190221>[4/4]You then head over to Agnes and Elena... the latter looks VERY excited."...weren't you scared!?" Elena asks."Oh no, I was quite confident in my ability to win," Agnes laughs. "And it's not like I needed to worry about my safety, you know..."Ah, stories about her dueling days."So I got all the way to the finals of that particular tournament, but I lost to my opponent there... this was by -points-, mind. Even though I had the clear advantage during the entire match... I never was too fond of that system of judging.""Aww, that sucks," Elena mumbles as she kicks the ground dejectedly... and then sees you approaching."Mister swordie!" Elena shouts as she races towards you and pulls out over. "oh my god your grandma is so cool I WANNA BE JUST LIKE HER!" she >how do you respond?
>>29190311We gave shit to nico for trying to play match maker hell she even gave us a little for seeming to play matchmaker earlier.
>>29190311She can handle a few moments without her, especially when like literally everyone else is here.
>>29190315Well I dont mean to be so harsh, they have yang afterall
>>29190311>muh /u/boatsshe already knows we're dancing with her and she doesn't have a problem with it, you don't need to make a fuss about it. just dance with her and at least finish up your promises
>>29190323"I thought you'd like her."
>>29190323My first thought was " Awww yeaaaaahh Agnes x Elena.But then I felt disgusted with myself.Let's just say that maybe one day she can or something.
>>29190323"I knew you two would get along. How are you doing, grandma?
>>29190337This.Alternately"I KNEW you'd like her."
>>29190323Shush down gently a bit, if the king is near he's going to get an aneurysm."Of course you do, I have THE coolest grandma."
>>29190323"i'm sure you can manage that.by the way, grandma, who were you talking about?"
>>29190337>>29190363>>29190379These.
>>29190323 "well first we gotta disguise you as a boy to trick your daddy"at first i wote something about being oneself over being someones shadow...then I remembered who was talking
>>29190363>>29190379Supporting these
>>29190323"Yeah, she IS pretty cool, isn't she."
>>29190323"First dance with Luciana, now this. Celestino WILL chomp my head." Say it with grin.
>>29190323"And now that you know her, perhaps next time SHE can help, youknowwhat."
Y'know, pretty much the only way we can make this work perfectly is to convince Grandma to move to Granache and Celestino to let Elena be tutored in Granache.
>>29190466Or elena drops by to visit granny often.Based on how celestino reactes in that story, he'd probably not want to interfer tpo much.
>>29190323"Something just clicked in my mind, that the two of you would take a liking to each other."
"Heh, I KNEW you'd like her," you reply, smiling."Yeah she's like SO COOL OH MY GOD and she says that I can visit her but Nicolette said that I should probably keep it a secret because papa would get mad" she says in one breath before finally gasping for air. "But she's a swordie and she's a girl and a girl and I wanna be like her sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!"This is adorable and all, but you can't help but feel a bit afraid for your own safety. After all, if Celestino finds out that you facilitated his daughter's hobby, there's no doubt that he'd be more than a bit displeased..."Who were you talking about, by the way?" you ask, turning to Agnes."Oh, just giving the Princess here a story about my dueling days," Agnes replies. "I would have won that entire tournament if they hadn't used that stupid point-based scoring system... the dumbasses," she mutters under her breath.>[1/?]
>>29190564>[2/2]"How'd they do it in the tournament that you won, Reinhold?" your grandmother asks."Duel to submission," you reply. "Usually only took a few minutes to win a match at the most, but there were some guys who were especially stubborn," you shrug."Yeah, I like that way better. Wins and losses are clear, and you'll wind up hurt pretty badly if you get cocky and try to game the system," she nods."Umm..." Elena says, her eyes sparkling. "Didja have to cut anyone's arms off to force a win?" she asks. "Andreas said that he almost had to do that once...""Not in the tournament, no," you reply.Oops. Might have said too much there."Removing limbs is a bit excessive, Elena," Agnes says, patting the little princess on her head. "Cutting a tendon in their hand works just as well, and it's nowhere near as, er... messy.""Er, I dunno if talk of maiming people is the most appropriate thing to be talking about..." you say with a nervous laugh.Her mother -is- here, after all. Don't want to get anyone in trouble.>keep talking to them>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to dance>talk to someone else>go find one of your friends who you haven't seen in a while
>>29190569>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to danceLet's fulfill our promise.
>>29190569>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to dance
>>29190569>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to danceQuick, before we have to mention something else about dueling.
>>29190569>"Didja have to cut anyone's arms off to force a win?">implying that's enough *ahem* anyway>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to dance
>>29190590Duty, man of his word, etc.
>>29190569>>keep talking to themI'd rather spend time with grandma to be honest.
>>29190569>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to danceTime for more dancing.Get ready for the nobles who were complimenting us before to start talking shit about being with a commoner.
>>29190569>>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to dance
>>29190569>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to danceI'm still waiting for Celestino to call us over to discuss what we've been up to with his daughters.
>>29190569>go over to Melanie and see if she wants to danceGet our promises out of the way and we'll be free for whatever.

I have to run like right now, so I'll end it here.Tonight's thread was pretty fun aside from a certain fuckwit... but never mind that.Next thread will be Tursday night, though I'm not quite sure the time. I will be doing another all-nighter, since planes scare the hell out of me and I would like to be unconscious for as much of my trip as possible.Thanks for playing!
>>29190750Goodnight, Arch. See you next time.
