“After Avril... knocked you out, she took over the court. Miranda and a bunch of others were all ready to support her. I, uh, I tried to help you, get you bandaged up. Avril... she threw me out. Threw both of us out. Said she wasn’t leaving Earth, but she was still sealing the court up behind a bunch of barriers until the threat was gone. And that I should come back once everything was safe... alone. She said for you not to come back. She said... that you know what you did. Chris... what’s going to happen now? I... I don’t understand anything, I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know what to do. What are we going to do now?”

What, she even let us go practically unharmed! How was this anything more than evening the score? Live and let live, obviously if (or rather when, judging by predictable tropes) she herself or her actions become a problem we have to deal with them, but why the fuck would we go out of our way for some petty and entirely undeserved 'revenge'?

I don't think she'd say "I know what you did" if referring to the rape. I mean, Jesus Christ, of COURSE she knows about the rape. It happened TO HER. More than likely this refers to something else, probably something we view as insignificant. Maybe she's not happy we helped the... snake people. Maybe she's pissed about what we did with... uh... that dude, in the shower. Lenny? Maybe she's pissed we resented her because she's a shady bitch.

>>29905392
Rape is sort of one of those things you tend not to forget.

>>29905554
She said "you know what you did," not "I know what you did." It's a way of getting the message across without mentioning the rape to Jill, who AFAIK, isn't aware of it.

>>29905554
she didnt say 'i know what you did', she said 'you know what you did'

>>29905609
>>29905623
Oh, shit. You're right. Muh bad. Totally the rape then.

>>29904741
Guilt time,

so what are our immediate concerns, do we have any business to clear up before we start dealing with the Fae problem?

>>29905774
The Excrucians.

Remember them?

Yeesh, get off your revenge kick and get your head in the game, anon.

>>29905774
Excrucians. Also, calling our boss upstairs and seeing about what help he might provide.
THEN we kill Avril. Even though she's completely justified, it seems the in character thing for him to do. What with her whole 'stealing control from a being that is en route to becoming an embodiment of control'.

>>29905805

Sorry it's been awhile since I participated in this quest, stopped about when we made Isabella our undead servant, getting caught up in the archives now.

>>29905849
That actually brings up a point, shouldn't we get XP or something for becoming king of things? Or just get fed to hell and back?
Seems like something we'd pursue.

>>29905918
I don't think the QM notes XP gains. Just marks them off quietly.

Monsterhearts' systems reward you more for teen drama than fights, anyways.

I really hope we don't end Avril, mainly because I don't want to see the relationship to end like that after 53 fucking threads, but also, we're gonna need the fae's help dealing with the Excrucians, and using Avril as a puppet queen would greatly help

Even though OPs already writing, I think we still need to work towards
>[]”Now, we bust back through that barrier. I’m not going to be treated like this. Avril needs to learn who’s in charge around here.”

How about, instead of killing Avril, we do to her what we did to Isabella?

>>29906275
Good idea, might need to wait a while to do it though, in case we and our patron are drained after eliminating the Exrucian threat.

>>29906275
I'll second this, means we can at least start towards salvaging things and we gain an ally (willing or not).

We just need to get in touch with The Man.

but of fucking course, most likely we're going to get 'call busy'

>>29906324
Well yeah, universe-destroying assholes knocking at the door. More important shit to deal with than our romantic woes.

We need to at least ask back for the piece of Chris' soul that her father has. That should re-empower Chris.

>>29906366
We might have that back at this point. We *were* the King of the Fae, for however short of a time period.

>>29906359
You do know we could use the fae against the Excrucian's if we control Avril, and deal with that more important shit first and romantic woes after everyone is dead or not.

We kind of need allies to help right now, because we're in no shape to take them on by ourselves, and guess who could help us out once we get control of their queen? Oh thats right, the fae.

>>29906461
Honestly, I get the distinct feeling this will be more a duel between the Man in White and the Excrucian than between our allies and them.

>>29906479
I got the impression from our chats with him he ain't looking forward to dealing with them, let alone capable of such a thing, but if we had a bunch of allies to help at least distract them, he might be able to work his magic.

Either way, I want my fucking kingdom back with our cute green haired sub by our side ruling in our stead, after we get those silly notions of betrayal out of her pretty mind.

>>29905543
"Okay, we need - aaaagh. Okay. I need to... lie down for a moment. Ow. Uh. Jill, are you still all geased? Drawn to protect Avril with your life and all that?"

"I... no. I almost hadn't noticed it was gone, but... no. I'm okay. I still want to go back, talk to her, get her to explain what's happening, but I'm not being pulled to go back."

"Okay. That's good. Let me just lie down and think for a bit."

Your wounds are aching. Your mind is still a bit fuzzy. It seems like forever since you were sitting at the dinner table with your -

Oh, hell, your family! What are your parents going to think?

You fumble around for your phone. 6 missed calls. Great.

"Uh... hi, Mum."

"Chris? What... it's six in the morning. What happened to you? Where have you been? Your father and I were so worried..."

"Uh, I'm really sorry, Mum, I... had to go help my friend, with this... thing. She had a big argument with her father, I had to go help out, and I kinda ended up without any phone reception so I couldn't call... look, I'm really sorry. Is everything okay at home?"

"Well, your father and I have been worried sick over you. Even your little sister has been wondering what happened to you. We've managed to get all our packing done, but I do hope you'll be back here in time to see us off? We've only got a few hours until our flight leaves, and what with how long it's going to take to get to the airport, and security... you ought to come home right away."

God, I wish it wasn't such a sexual thing. I could not give a shit about the sexual side of things.
Maybe we should just kill her after all.

>>29906566
>[]"I... uh... there's still some things I have to take care of here, Mum. I'll see you soon, I promise. But not right now."

More important shit to deal w/

>>29906612
Yeah, but I still tend to ignore it.

>>29906635
Well then, could I politely ask you to not let your feelings on the matter potentially bias your voting towards meta-gaming?

seriously, I don't mind if you don't care for it or ignore it, but don't vote to outright end her just to avoid the topic

We don't really have any immediate problems, and it's probably best to make sure they leave safely.

>>29906551
>Either way, I want my fucking kingdom back with our cute green haired sub by our side ruling in our stead, after we get those silly notions of betrayal out of her pretty mind.
Not going to happen. She could have easily played the power behind the throne and kept on manipulating us. She's either attached to the accoutrements of power or to fucking us over, and in either case that pretty much rules such a thing out.

>>29906704
We don't know that yet, and seriously if we don't get her under our control, we're out a massive fucking investment from the fae, dealing with their bullshit and then they up and abandon us right when we need their help to save the fucking universe, that they so happen to live in as well.

>>29906763
I'm sympathetic to returning the fae to our side, but seriously, Avril's behavior has pretty clearly drawn a line in the sand. We're not liable to get her back.

Well, we really need to kind of see what The Man says about that.

And if we can't, then whats the fucking point, cause we can't control the fae on our own, what with the retarded ass way they think and act, we need a puppet to control them for us who knows what shes doing, and if we can't get the fae on our side, then I'm not seeing any other end that we die horribly at the Excrucians hands and game over.

I say we arm out selves with an iron sword smash that barrier and take over the fae, eventually the world, the man was right we need to stop thinking with our dick.

Its a good plan, except for the fact we don't know shit about how the fae work, we don't know their retarded laws and how they do business scheming all over the place, something having Avril as a puppet would help greatly with.

Also, Miranda supported what Avril did, when we've got the opportunity, we're dominating that slut

And I approve

Rolled 52

Exactly which is why we do what we should have done instead of raping her break her and bind her to us completly

>>29907059
No. Dammit, you don't have time for this. As much as it may hurt your mother's feelings, you have more important things to worry about than hurt feelings.

"I'm sorry, Mum, but I still have a few things to sort out here. I'll be home as soon as I can, I promise. But not right now."

"Christopher Phillips, what on earth can you be doing that's -"

"Sorry, Mum." Click.

Well. That's something you'll have to deal with later. First you need to get your pieces together. Isabella. Esther and her new resources. See if you can work out what's happened to Ajani and Gloria. You stand up -

Ow. Right. The giant, bloody hole in your side. You could do with some sort of medical attention. And a new shirt. Maybe it's a good thing you didn't rush home straight away. That might have been interesting to explain.

Anyway. You don't need to walk anywhere to get hold of Isabella, do you?

'Isabella. Status report.'

'Uh... Chris? Dammit, it's six in the morning...'

You can feel her tiredness through the link, almost like it were your own. And come to think of it, you're still quite tired yourself. But there'll be time for sleep later.

'I know. I had a bit of trouble over here, I'll brief you on that later. Status report?'

'Uh... well, it's Sunday. So a lot of people are staying at home. I've had people lean on their parents, persuade any businesses that are open on Sunday to give their workers a day off. The south side of town and the town centre should be as cleared out as we can get them. I'm arranging group holidays as much as I can, but if we want to evacuate the entire town, we're going to need some sort of excuse, and preferably not the supernatural monsters kind. Any ideas, boss?'

>>29907611
gas leak, the old reliable gas leak

also we need to get in touch with The Man ASAP so we can start planning how to get Avril under our control

Rolled 41

>>29907611
God damn it firs that fae slut now this...
Sigh
Give me time to think

>>29907611
Depending on available resources...

Severe storm warning, possible severe terrorist attack (nuclear or biological), bomb threat affecting an indeterminately large number of locations, earthquake warning...

That's about all I can think of.

>>29907611

"Things are getting worse by the minute. Maybe some kind of gas leak, or natural catastrophe alert? We might have to actually sabotage the city."

>>29907768

Gas Leak would be the most effective I reckon, we could even MAKE a gas leak to make It legit if we really wanted

>>29907810
Gas leak? For a whole town? Aren't they more of a "several city blocks" deal?

>>29907879
Not if it's a big enough gas leak.

>>29907879
it's kinda hard to get a whole town to evacuate no matter the reason, just look at hurricane Katrina for instance.

>>29907921
That was a problem with Louisiana/New Orleans specifically, people there get shitloads of false alarms so they didn't pay attention to the real one. My home town evacuated.

>>29907681
>>29907768
>>29907771
>>29907810
>>29907892
((Really big gas leak seems like the most popular idea, although there's also lots of good general brainstorming. Writing.))

so any other ideas on how to oust our little fae usurper, other than gathering a posse armed with Cold Iron and demanding that she bend the knee or be slain.

>>29908490
Challenging her again, like we did her father.

>>29908490
doing >>29908504 could work, but we don't know if she can just fae bullshit deny it

either way, we need to get close to her so we can dominate her, unless The Man has other tricks we can use

>>29908504
doesn't the court need to be in session for that little trick to work? besides that is exactly what she would expect us to do.

>>29908522
>>29908504
>>29908526


we have to be a member of the Fae court to issue a challenge I believe, I'm not even sure if we are still "in".

>>29908570
right, then cold iron and zombifying the bitch it is.

>>29908522
We might not have the juice right now, and she may have taken over our bond to her father, which would probably give her resistance or possibly even immunity to our powers.

This really seems like a situation where our position can only improve by not rushing into action. She's bottled up in a little hidey hole, we've got the ability to gather allies and power.

If she stays in there until after the Excrucians are defeated, she'll look like shit to any surviving power structures, who will probably be our allies of necessity. I think the Man is pretty much the only thing that plays on the same game board as Excrucians in this town.

>>29908084
Incidentally, can we tell whether or not the fae still have a piece of our soul?

>>29908526
>>29908570

God Damn it, I remember why I hate the Fae and their bullshit rules so much, we should just gather that posse and conquer them the old fashioned way, it would leave me with less of a headache.

>>29908586
we might be still bonded and even then we might have to fight and or kill jill due to her promise to protect Avril.

>>29908593
>>29908620

>>29908643

Unless we've regained MP since thread 49 (and I don't think we have), we have... 1 MP. And the Man is unavailable.

also, Jill is our girlfriend as well...

'Okay, we need some sort of disaster big enough to affect the whole town. A storm would have been on the weather well in advance... a tornado, an earthquake, something like that?'

'A tornado or an earthquake, in Britain? I mean, it's not impossible, but it'll be a hard sell.'

'How about a gas leak? Don't tell me you don't have people who can lean on the town council and the police and so on. It'd have to be a really big gas leak, but it's still feasible.'

'Mm, might work. A big gas leak, or... a chemical leak from one of the factories, maybe. Towns have been evacuated over chemical leaks before. Someone will take a bit of a hit to the profit margin, but without any actual cleanup costs to pay it shouldn't be too drastic. I'll set the ball rolling. Might take a couple of hours to actually get everyone on board and a couple more hours at least to actually get people out. Probably more, even with my ability to coordinate things better than any pack of idiots with radios.'

'That will have to do. I think we've got Esther and her family on our side, once they get certain things ironed out again. The Fae are definitely not on our side. That's something we'll have to look at later, I think. Have you had any communications from the lady in white you mentioned before?'

'Not in the last day or so. Should I be expecting some?'

'I don't know. If you hear anything from her, let me know immediately.'

'Sure thing, boss. Anything else?'

'Not right at the moment, I think. I'll call you again if I need anything else.'

You look down at your hands, flexing them. Your arm is already starting to heal. A bit more time and your torso might be healed up too. But time is the one thing you never seem to have enough of.

On the plus side... you hum briefly. Okay, yeah. You feel full of magic. You think you'll be good to walk around very soon, albeit painfully. You've got Isabella, and Esther, and Jill, and soon a nice empty town to work with.

What do you want to do?

>>29908737
Revenge is a dish best served cold.

>>29908761
Avril has chosen not to tell Jill about us raping her. It's an incredibly powerful trump card to play in any fights over affection.

Further, Jill was Avril's girlfriend before she was ours, Jill was/is more attracted to Avril than to us, Jill still wants to go back and talk to her, etc.

Guys, we're wasting time. Lets just call the snake people and go deal with the Excrucians. Or meditate for a bit and try to regain some strength.

Maybe we can use some MP to get our wounds to heal?

>Masami. Still going to turn into a Deep One.
>Louie. Still doesn't have his pelt back.
>Cassandra, still a sociopathic murder vampire.
>Gloria and Ajani, still kidnapped by the Excrucians.

Not sure how much power Louie and Masami could bring to bear... actually, is Masami's family a viable contact? I know she ran away, but I don't think the Deep Ones are big fans of even their runaway children getting eaten by god horror things.

Zach might be a useful ally? Maybe?

>>29909042

small time

>Masami. Still going to turn into a Deep One.
>Louie. Still doesn't have his pelt back.
also fucking small time

>Gloria and Ajani, still kidnapped by the Excrucians.
we can deal with that when we face the Excrucians

honestly, I doubt Cassandra is still in town with her food source evacuating and her being the cowardly parasite she is

also we've see so little of what louie and masami can offer that i'd entirely forgotten about their existence, and i doubt louie can do anything to help, and masami's family would probably make things worse and side with the Excrucians

>>29909128
>masami's family would probably make things worse and side with the Excrucians
Deep Ones are still part of Creation, man, and Excrucians want to destroy it.

You need to pause for a moment. To think, to heal, to meditate. You lie back on the bed, telling Jill to keep watch, and focus your will. You are in control. You control everything around you, including yourself. All you need to do is will it, and -

A blur. A change. A small jewel, held delicately in a woman's hand. A small gold framework surrounds it. Black tendrils writhe inside. Your own fingers reaching out, picking up the gem, crushing it easily in your hand. Power flowing out of it, absorbed into you. Back into you.

A change. The two Deceivers, sitting on chairs of solid ice, chatting idly. Dancing lights around their head - symbols. You focus. Snowflakes around the woman's head, and shifting, chaotic colours and many-pointed stars around the man's.

A change. A battlefield, changing and shifting, full of fire and blood. Esther's snake-like soldiers charging forward, being shot down with flaming bullets, and rising up to strike at their comrades, still burning. An enormous Fae, like a giant golem made of rocks and boulders, being encased in ice.

A change. The town from the air, streets and buildings and rolling hills laid out beneath you. A ring of white-hot flames begins to spread out from the south side of town, rushing over all in its path, leaving everything in its wake encased in frost.

A change. You're back in the bed, shaking your head. You pull yourself up to a sitting position. It... doesn't seem to hurt that much any more. You look around. Jill is stretched out on the bed next to you, fast asleep. You check your phone. About two hours have passed since you woke up before. Your arm feels fine, and while your torso still aches, there's no more blood showing through the bandages. A change of clothes, and you'll be ready to go.

What do you want to do now?

Getting the visions clear enough to be a good set of clues about what you might want to do next or what you might need to know, while still making them seem like visions to interpret and not just the word of QM, is surprisingly tricky. Especially for a critical success. Apologies for the delay, though.))

>>29910588
March back in there and GET DAT POWAH BACK.

>>29910757

I would recommend calling Isabella first and see getting ourselves some back-up, or atleast a weapon of some sort.

>>29910757
>>29910870
((Ok... tied vote, basically. Tiebreaker, someone? Five minutes, then I roll off.

Also, a more precise plan would be helpful. I'm nearly falling asleep here, so anything I come up with on my own is likely to be a bit shaky.))

>>29910588
Do we know how the remainder of the Ajani/Esther group is doing?

Marshaling all our forces for an attack on the fae while they're all bunkered up seems like a pretty shitty idea in any case. Liable to lose us more than it gains, even if we manage to absorb the surviving fae. Defenders tend to inflict more casualties than attackers, unless the attackers have some kind of really high-quality weapon.

Hrm...

With our current juice, can we do the command thing? That might be enough. Command voice probably wouldn't let us actually take over the fae, but we might be able take our soul fragment back. Possibly build up some tiny amount of good will by showing no hard feelings? Going to check the deal we gave up our soul in, make sure we wouldn't suffer the backlash of reneging a deal.

Otherwise, the visions show a probable attack vector starting from the south side, which helps narrow down the immediate threatened areas. We don't actually have much of an idea what sort of attacks the Deceivers are capable of, do we?

I think the best option might be to find a good defensive position in the north and wait for word from the Man in the White Suit. So I'll vote

>>29911047
>No hard feelings
Na, fuck that. Plus, we're at full magic power. QM has said this a half dozen times.

>>29910588
Walk up to the briar wall and command it move aside, then march in there and get our power back,.

>>29910588
>A blur. A change. A small jewel, held delicately in a woman's hand. A small gold framework surrounds it. Black tendrils writhe inside. Your own fingers reaching out, picking up the gem, crushing it easily in your hand. Power flowing out of it, absorbed into you. Back into you.
well that sounds like the bit of our soul we bargained to the fae king

we need to come up with a plan to get to Avril, get that bitch on a leash and get utterly destroy our allies/friends and the fae so we can actually put up a fight when we get control of them through Avril as a puppet for us

>>29910588

...I don't get most of them.

Still, I think that going back and asking Avril to support the fight can't be bad...on a better time, thoug. Not now.

Seeing Esther or checking on what's left of the hunter group should be useful. Louie still needs his pelt.

>>29911125
>and get utterly destroy our allies/friends and the fae
that should ready
>and without getting our allies/freinds and the fae utterly destroyed

>>29911039
before we go after Avril we should REALY let Jill know about the rape otherwise when we confront her she will just "But Jill, he raped me" and then we get fucked over and jill leaves us no fixing it because you cant explain yourself in that situation so we need to do it now. let her know we were hatin g ourselves to pieces and we just lost controle of what brought us back to life, and avril foragve us for a piece of our soul as proof that we realy care about her. this is realy important

>>29911140
...They're clear as day, Anon. Seriously.

>>29911153
> ready
gah fuck meant READ

>>29911161
THIS, we need to get Jill on our side for when we confront Avril

>>29911124
>Plus, we're at full magic power. QM has said this a half dozen times.
Full magic power, less any direct support from our benefactor who has bailed our ass out numerous times.

>Na, fuck that.
Command is only a short-term deal. Being vindictive now will worsen our ability to get any kind of effective alliance with the fae.

>>29911176
not for this anon

I can just tell, we're not going to get anything done this thread. Even with the QM pretty much blatantly telling us what to do. Lets just go get our power back from Avril already. For fuck's sake. Lets just GO. Stop beating around the bush calling every other tangentially related character we know.

>>29911161
also say that sh realy seemed to forgive us and it seemed like it was behind us as horrible as it was and we had no idea she still hated us for it, but then she just does this and never wants to see us again after we fought her father in a duel so that we wouldnt never see her again and then she just does this to us. were not the bad guy, atleast we dont want to be.

>>29911237
>Get our power back from Avril
>The locations and rough outline of powers of the two Excrutians

that it means the bit of our soul get gave to the king

lets get Jill on our side and barge in there and get that bitch under control and on a leash

>>29911237
1 - Avril's got our soul, we can take it back.

2 - Coriander Hasp and the Woman are working together, or something to that effect.

3 - The fae may come to our side in the battle ahead.

4 - The Deceivers start their attack from the south.

((Okay, okay, as much as I appreciate good discussion and planning, I'm not seeing any kind of solid consensus on what to do. Maybe it's just that it's 4am here and I'm exhausted, but I don't know what you guys want, as a whole, to do. So.))

[]March in now, demand your soul back?

Ah, shit, you guys... I went to check on the exact terms of our giving up our soul.

>What I do fear is losing Avril; I care about her far more than I initially realised. Without her, I think my life would be like my body, cold and hollow. What I have done, cannot be undone. I have harmed someone who did not deserve it. I have shattered the trust between us. I cannot be forgiven, and the memories of that act will haunt me forever, even in my sleep. I will do what I have to, to make amends for it and face the consequences therein.

>I will do what I have to, to make amends for it and face the consequences therein.
Part of what we said to a fucking faerie King as part of a magical deal to give up part of our soul.

>>29911394
[x]Talk to Jill and Isabella, check on Esther, prepare things first?

>>29911429
A faerie king that is now hibernating, and no longer a king. Plus, it could be argued that installing her as Queen of the Fae counts as making amends.

lets get this over with

>>29911394
Talk to Jill about the thing, then march in and demand our soul back.

>>29911394
>[]Talk to Jill and Isabella, check on Esther, prepare things first?
go over the plan to get our soul back with Jill and explain everything about what happened with Avril to her

>>29911468
Famous last words, before the magical backlash of taking back part of your soul from a Faerie Queen results in your death.

when we do confront Avril, we should make it clear to her we don't care about the throne, she can have it, and we would have given it if she asked, but she didn't, she betrayed us, and she must pay for that

then we dominate the shit out of her and make her wear a collar

>>29911575

No, we shouldn't do that.

>>29911394

[x] March back in. Demand soul back or persuade Avril to fight the Excrucians.

>>29911528
we are already dead, but serioustly it doesnt say we cant take our soul back or go against her on punishment of death, it was a contract of forgiveness for our soul, looks like she still holds a grudge not that she shouldnt but we wont die from it m8 dont wory

>>29911604
Do you actually have a plan to do that? Avril has no stake in fighting the Excrucians. She can simply move off-world like her father planned and let Earth be destroyed.

We'll never agree on anything.
Six threads from now we'll still be here, as the world burns around us.

Hopefully next time anons will have had some time to calm down and will be less vindictive about this whole thing?

Ah, who am I kidding.

>>29911647

Don't know how, but the vision showed this is possible.

>>29911775
Hopefully you'll be less wishy washy and actually want to get some shit done.

>>29911687
but 2 of those in the bottom are just to tell jill about our massive fuck up all feelsy and sad then go in with her help persumably, i would have excepted a vote for

tell the rape
or no

but whatever good night MH

>>29911841
"Let's fucking mind rape her to double up with the regular rape."

There's a fucking middle ground, you child.

>>29911828
You're an idiot. The vision obviously suggested we depose Avril and send the fae against the Excrucians using our status as King of the Fae

>>29911855
We mind raped Isabella and she seems fine! Hell, better off for it!

>>29911828
you have seen how the fey are with people in charge, "the king is vanquished, long live the king BONK long live the queen" doesnt mean avril is calling the shots m8

>>29911880
Exactly

>>29911855
it is the middle ground, with the extremes being ignore her existence, and end her existence

it is right in the fucking middle ground

>>29911880
because she was literaly dieing of coruption poison it was a win win since we convinced her to ditch the deamon so its all good

>>29911863
>we depose Avril
There is nowhere in the vision that says that.

It says: get soul, get fae on side. That is not the same as saying we depose her. Deposing her is one possible path to

>>29911880
Except we didn't! We didn't mind rape her at all!

We got (semi-)informed consent, even!

>Isabella backs up a little, bumping into Cassandra, who's now standing behind her. "I... I guess I'm in."

>>29911909
>it is the middle ground, with the extremes being ignore her existence, and end her existence
>
>it is right in the fucking middle ground
No one is suggesting either of those extremes.

>>29911909
are you actualy saying what your proposing isnt an extreme option? killing her and reviving her is not extream? its certainly no middle ground son.

>>29911951
pretty much, and I don't care for deposing her, she can keep the throne, as long as we get control over her

>No one is suggesting either of those extremes.
there was a little bit of talk earlier about it, one anon wanted to ignore the fae and do our own thing, and one or two had a rather large murderboner for her

Honestly, I think we should confront her, somewhere private, tell her she gets to keep the throne, we don't want it, but she betrayed us, and she pays for that, and we want the help of the fae, which we can get when she is controlled by us, she can run the fae however she wants, as long as she is under our control and she and the fae help when we want

>>29912002
compared to what other powers in the setting are doing and planning, its smack dab in the middle, she still exists and is not a mindless zombie and we get control over her

>>29912040
>compared to what other powers in the setting are doing

what does that have to do with our decision on avril her? some might see death as a better alternitive to being under someones control like that. and we dont even know if we can do it on a fae in the first place.

>>29912140
>and we dont even know if we can do it on a fae in the first place.
only way is to try

>some might see death as a better alternitive to being under someones control like that.
then she should have thought about that before betraying us

>>29912265
>then she should have thought about that before betraying us
Who betrayed who first?

>Who betrayed who first?
we are the bad guy here, IC we have no excuse, since you cant justify rapeing your gf in the woods who was just kidnaped, you cant just say you just lost control while sating your endless hunger for control. the feeling of shame wont wash out Chris, no mater how hard you scrub, the guilt wont wash out. ITS ALL YOUR FAULT CHRIS, YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF.

>>29912300
and we paid for it, arguably several times with the last of which getting her the throne

>>29912505
and?

not making me want to put her on a leash any less, thats the kind of controlling character Chris is, the kind of control he hungers for

and its been a while since we sated our hunger

>>29912527
chriss is a human being with feelings. feelings such as shame, guilt, remores and regret. he is not some heartless monster who would just intentionaly do that to hiss girl, light a cighr and leave her there on the ground weeping without a care in the world. i dont know what chris youre thinking of but its the wrong one. chris and avril were in a healthy loose and open relationship that had trust, we fucked like animals but it was mutual and with consent. we respected her as a person, someone who willingly gave themselves to us and we abused them. we gave up a piece of ourselves for her because we care about her. she wasnt just something to sate our hungers and neither is jill. thats not the kind of person chris is

>>29912811
I'm not saying he isn't, but there is that side of his condition, and yea, we did give up a chunk of soul and do a bunch of other stuff to make it better (can't take it back), and then its revealed everything we did was for nothing because she was a scheming bitch the entire time.

Such an event brings the emotions and hungers of our darkest self out, and its time for him to feast.

>>29912923
>Such an event brings the emotions and hungers of our darkest self out, and its time for him to feast.

no never again, certainly not around avril again, NEVER AROUND ANYONE AGAIN, chris isnt hungers the character you know, and we were king of spring even if only for a moment, i wouldnt think it to unlikely we are prety good on hungers if our magic was replenished. lets avoid using our darkest self as a means to an end, after all it was literaly the darkest we have ever been and the story ever got (IN MY OPINION) and things kind of got realy bad as a result. so no darkest self as revenge for betrail for darkest self rape, please.

>>29913175
never said we'd rape her again, only that we'd sate our hunger for control but doing the thing we did to Isabella

and if we don't use darkest self, then we are not going to exist for much longer in any form against the excrucians

>>29913289
>if we don't use darkest self, then we are not going to exist for much longer in any form against the excrucians
But Darkest Self is chump change compared to the power of the Man and the Excrucians.
It's not even worth considering because the power difference is too great.
