Greetings elegan/tg/entlemen and welcome to a new page of this quest. Twitter to follow: https://twitter.com/TaleOfMonstersArchive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Monster%20Girls%20QuestCharacter sheet of our protagonist: http://pastebin.com/X5pXHEcW His companion (Emeth) : http://pastebin.com/uvANnf1v Revised stat sheet for Hadraniel: http://pastebin.com/ZkRTYFHE Misarchived part 101: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/29832663/Sorry for missing last Tuesday, I needed a break to cool off my head.
15th day of prophecy, 11:05 am, emerging into the northern capital of the Rahal clan. Like a tear in reality, an open bleeding wound in the very fabric of the world, the oscillating magical phenomenon of the golden portal hover a few centimeters above ground as its long spherical form stretches well over three meters, large enough to accommodate the bulky form of a magitek war machine, it’s golden glow and misty core heralding the horizon of this new destination mark a clear different from the Demon Lord hypnotic magic; despite the similarity between artificial and real Demon Lord, they certainly don’t wield the same kind of magic. To emerge right outside a city victim of a recent siege is a humbling experience to be sure. The atmosphere you’ve grown to taste and treasure during the familiarity yesterday night finally, truly, evaporated as the girls went inside one by one. Athena adorable indignation and fearful embarrassment as she kept dodging the subject of the kiss was unceremoniously trampled as you emerged on a trail path right outside the giant wall extending all the way to the eastern mountain, the fortification was spotless but columns of smokes extended into the bright sky while soldiers stood vigils, fueled by courage and rage from the recent siege.
You can’t help but feel certain hollowness; the taste of peace lingered and you really didn’t want to let go, if every days could be as simple as what happened yesterday and every minutes until Tsukiyomi interrupted your fun to create the portal… it’s undoubtedly a cause to fight and die for, your own little selfish motivation. You cast a glance toward the lizardwoman, her long, corrupted appendage hidden under a raincloak, the past knight has put her good hand on the shoulder of the mantis, no needs for words between the two of them but the feelings of that teasing bug were open to you like a dam; fear and anticipation dominated Sylphis heart, her father was captain of a militia for the palace itself, given the damage you can glimpse already, she’s right to be worried.Of course, those two always form the vanguard and agitation sparkled like the ripple of thrown rocks across a calm lake amidst the soldiers, the grand golden tear spewing heavily armed individual went far, far from unnoticed and you saw several silhouette take off deep into the city, cutting into the burnt and ruined parts; it would seem the angels laid waste to a full third of the entire capital by estimation, most of it located near the big, protective wall, the outside farms had been left alone completely. ‘’It’s going to be hard to stay inconspicuous’’The comment came from the robbed silhouette of Daiyu Jawahir, her pilgrim disguise had been completed when Tsukiyomi put a symbol of the water dragon on her back, she had been the very last one to step through the portal and the large phenomenon lingered for a few seconds until it shriveled, letting out a strange exhaust of air akin to gaps, then disappeared into nothingness as Tsukiyomi cut the magic. ‘’You’ll probably have to stay inside’’
Hadraniel answered the demon in a lovingly awkward, yet curt tone. Anger wasn’t dominating her heart, not even irritation at keeping the truth of the demon away from everyone was enough to cloud the purity of her sentiments as she crossed eyes with you, only to quickly concentrate on Athena. Despite the (near) natural animosity she had with the Demon Lord, you spied the two of them talking as you were having your fun with Athena; apparently the discussion with Rhy needed the presence of the Embodiment. ‘’Well, I think we should set out before gawkers plug all the entrances’’ With a party held down by a cripple and a grievously wounded leader, the need of a protective formation was inherently understood by everyone present save, of course, Bletsia whose reservation and fear robbed her of vitality, while thankfully not fearful enough to simply stand there motionless she remembered her last visit and wasn’t exactly keen on going back to the catfolk capital, thankfully Rhy motivated her as you heard the small, white catgirl whispering a ‘’help me out, Bletsia’’ which put her friend on the spot, and motivated her to throw the glum away while helping her on the uneven paved floor leading to the city.
Ame also showed striking similarity; her clothing was heavy and regal with a nice long dark kimono closed around her body, nicely concealing the bandages along with her hands, similarly clad inside silky gloves crawling all the way up her arms, feet similarly hidden in rather masculine boots some hint of the runed bandages peeked through there and there as she tried to move, going her best to appear as strong as possible with her set of tails swaying to and fro gently, sometime rubbing against Hadraniel wings, who is of course dutifully standing in full armors, but more often she simply kept using the vixen appendages to tease you with the softness of the fluff as you’ve, of course, silently elected to stand as guardian, helper and husband and found yourself retrograded as walking cane.‘’Hmm…’’‘’I’m sure I can carve a path if need be’’‘’The word ‘’carves’’ is bound to create bad rumors, especially with the queen present.’’‘’Would people that just survived a siege be that tight arsed? Anyhow they can’t hear us’’Chitchat erupt with the group as you and Ame stay silent and you decide to concentrate on your path; you’ve emerged directly in front of the city and obviously without any kinds of officials knowing anything about it as nobody has yet to act, right now your simply eyeballing a bunch of cat clad in plate armors wielding heavy looking halberd while the main path cross in three direction. Forward into the capital, right toward some small animal farms breaking into the mountain adjacent to the city and left leading directly on the previous trail you went through during your first visit with Sylphis and Hadraniel, the area behind you was a horizon of agriculture and worked land with clear lines of dirt paths leading all the way to small rivers trailing into the earth.‘’Perhaps we should indulge ourselves, just a little’’
Ame finally pep in a small voice, rolling a tail around your neck as if to remind you of your position.‘’Shall we walk into the city, or be boring and head straight toward the mansion?’’The question was only half directed at you, Rhy wasn’t clad in some regal clothes, a travelling hooded cloak concealed her face nicely as she, of course, wasn’t exactly keen on showing the wound of her eyes to anyone; she broke into a rare smile.‘’I-I don’t mind… either way.’’She probably rarely had the opportunity of venturing into her own city, it’s bound to have a rather… unique atmosphere after a siege, but you can’t exactly ignore your diplomatic mission.… Or maybe you can, your opinion will tip the balance.
>>30240071"Let's make a short detour. It might be a boost to morale if the citizens see their leaders appearing caring."
>>30240071>>30240263Sure let's do this
>>30240071"As much as I would like you to take it easy, you really do wish to push your limits, don't you? I suppose a slight detour would be fine. But I WILL carry you if need be."As much as I want to make sure that she doesn't over-exert herself, I do want to indulge Ame and Rhy.And I suppose it will be good to get a first-hand look at how the city is doing.Make sure to tell the cats eyeballing us to send a runner to the mansion to prepare for our arrival, though. May as well get that started so everything is ready when we get there.
>>30240305>>30240303>>30240263Look like we have a consensus already.
>>30240071"I don't think a few minutes will matter very much. Let's have a quick stroll through the city."I think it would help Rhy to see her people, understand the weight of her position, see the people she is to rule over. And the people should see that their Queen is compassionate, willing to go out and take a risk in order to see that her people are being well taken care of by those who ostensibly work for her.Thank god Mylen's here. Should be quite difficult to assassinate anyone with her around.
>>30240384Too fast for me to even reply!
A brief shadow of worry cloud over your emotions but you let go quickly when you look at Ame, while obviously making liberal use of your person for standing straight there’s a certain unheard majority spreading in the group and refusing would probably sour the moods of these gals, it wouldn’t do to become a villain.‘’You and I both know you ought to take it easy, my queen but I guess you really are the kind to push yourself to the limits.’’You are answered with a shrug despite the increasingly beaming smile of your future wife and answer by stepping closer, wrapping an arm around her waist which provoke a nice, quiet little ‘’harrumph’’‘’Don’t worry, I’ll carry you if need be, the rest of the bodyguard can make a protective circle’’Thankfully the fluffy tailed queen let this slide and you enjoy your little victory for its small worth as you delicately prompt her forward, taking a pace comfortable for the heavily wounded tall vixen and of course the little cat missing half a leg forced to proceed on crutch who’s taking Bletsia as an helping hand; rumors are probably flying already all over the city and when you peer up in the sky you see something very unique indeed. Distance make it nearly impossible to detail accurately, thus the only way to properly describe the silhouette floating in the sky is that of an overgrown green lizard saddled with a metallic contraption holding a man glistening in plate armor whose right hand hold some kind of polearm. Wyvern Knights are one of the three… or four orders of your homeland, you’ve never had the chance of seeing any of them in battle given their solemn oaths to heft their weapons and skills only toward foreign enemies.
These knights of the sky were said to project a vision of ages past where the world itself was ripe with magic and, given the fluid movement of the green wyvern patrolling the sky, you can see why there is majesty and dread in equal measure toward this military establishment; somehow, the monsters acting as mount and friend is able to revert back to its old monstrous root.Halfway through toward the entrance of the city, the lone figure in the sky became an obvious target of conversation.‘’So, Athena, can you became all scaly too?’’Sylphis jest was met with an immediate ‘’puh’’ as the once knight grimaced toward her friend followed by a rude gesture.‘’I don’t plan to degenerate that much, why haven’t you eaten Siegfried yet?’’ ‘’Yike! Kitty got claws this morning’’ Hadraniel sported a rather interesting look of concentration as she observed the flying pair right up until the arch of the stone walls forced her vision forward; normally the halberdiers guarding the entrance would have screening your consequent group but here, you were met with reverence as they lined up, planting the staff ends of their weapons on the ground, some of them announcing various welcomes to the city of ‘’Rhyclan’’ (making the ruler blush as you turned back to for a stare) and overall, making themselves, much, much easier to live with compared to your last visit.However instead of taking the nice big path open for you by the increasingly large crowd of onlookers with the soldiers trying their best to manage a pace between brisk and deferential… ‘’Scuse me, scuse us make way, make way’’
With irritation completely out of her tone, Athena was the first one to part the crowd, quickly followed by Sylphis while Hadraniel solemn physique, big white wings and bright halo certainly didn’t go unobserved, many sharp statement cursing the Embodiment were murmured under the civilians breaths as she formed the only guards between them and the center of VIP; Mylen thankfully closed the march right behind the Demon Lord, making venue of backstab toward the truly vulnerable part of the group as hard as can be. Of course the soldiers were very confused as to this event and could only stare on helplessly. --A good third of the entire city had been victim of an uncontrolled fire located in the residential area for the self-dubbed ‘’low class peasants’’; fortunately the architecture wasn’t a mess of unclean, barely standing houses inherent to slums, while a good part of the roads were blocked due to debris the increasingly lonely journey of your group made you realize that these cats do have some talents for dividing a city even for the poor, unfortunately a great many tragedies must have occurred for you crossed paths with many a squads of monsters busying themselves with searching the burn out ruins for corpses or possibly live people, with a few inhabitants closed together to share their misery after losing loved ones in what must have been an inferno of hell; if you weren’t busy guarding a diplomatic envoy for the entire military alliance of the country, you’d probably be off looking for potential victims trapped underneath some crumpled down ruins.
Your path finally found a destination when Rhy voiced for a stop once you came toward the second church of the city, a big, nicely put together gothic architecture reduced to nothing as the roof, towers and walls had been caved in by forces unknown; forever robbing it of its splendor, a few halberdiers were lazing around its still standing walls with a pair of cats sleeping side by side and a few inhabitants forming an impromptu militia passing out foods and waters to everyone searching the area, somehow you’ve got the hunch that the majority of the armed troops in this place weren’t ordered in the first place. ‘’T-that’s… the church of Mother Earth…’’What was left of a round symbols was reduced to half through one of the still intact door, the other being reduced to smithereens making the other half of the circle impossible to identify‘’Let’s stop here’’ Ame finally said and Daiyu disappeared into the ruins of the church, going ahead of everyone as the link told you of the woman strangely solemn expression.This city is the biggest of the entire country by far. What do you do?
>>30241430Help Ame inside. It's a place of worship for Mom. It wouldn't be right to ignore it.
>>30241555I agree.We'd best say out thanks to Mother for all the help.
>>30241582>>30241555Well then, I'll take a few minutes to rest and make the update.
>>30241402Like they say, rich man's war, poor man's fight.Damn Orion's followers, friggin' angel-supremacist bastards killin' poor innocent monstergirls who weren't even part of the fight. I want him dead so much more badly now.And I must ask, Is the encyclopedia entry for Wyverns accurate here? Are the knights riding their waifus into battle?
>>30241703Yes and no, each relationship between Wyvern and Knights is rather unique, there's also women in the order.
>>30241788Waifus and big/little sister figures and BFFs then. The guys are lucky, wyverns are one of my favorite girls and I wouldn't mind riding on the wind with my wyvern waifu one bit.
>>30242050As long as you don't mind the fact that riding a wyvern girl means that she revert back t b eing a big lizard with wings, then enjoy yourself!
>>30242145Oh that's only at work. When off the clock she reverts back to her adorable humanoid form I find quite striking. Lizard form for fighting, human form for formal occasions, time with the kids, and of course the more adult aspects of a loving marriage. Ah, to be hugged by those scaly wing arms and embraced by those powerful legs during "that", must feel amazing.
>>30242145Woah, that's brutal.Can you stand your waifu when she's gone back to being gross as hell? The ultimate challenge.
>>30242291I couldn't make love to her in that state of course, but I'd still love her. I know she'd never hurt me, and I know what she "really" looks like in private. And I must say, she's very beautiful. And no matter what the sight of her as she glides through the sky is a sight to see.
While your quick venture into the living area of the city undoubtedly put a solemn mood in the entire company, you felt a wave of gratitude toward your mother as you stepped inside the church, its utterly ruined state making the decoration all but useless; the sky was large and open thank to the near total absence of roof and, following the Demon Lord, you were second to step inside, leaving Ame side briefly.‘’Let’s go, shall we?’’ The second one to step aside was, surprisingly Athena; the lizardwoman nodded at you, then turned toward the rest of the woman and flicked her tail gently as she set out to climb a pile of rubble nearly effortlessly, standing up straight and true to gaze into the rest of the burnt down house from a comfortable vantage points as the group finally started to spread, with Daiyu standing all the way inside the church, hands tracing some remains of symbols as Ame stood near the exit, flashes of indecisions momentarily appearing until Rhy and Bletsia passed her, with Mylen standing guard near the entrance.Perhaps everyone need some time alone and, reverently, you walked toward the standing eastern wall, nails tracing some runes depicting the sun and soil of the planet; you’ve never been a man of faith, the military of the state and family was your religion and the efforts of your mother all but reinforce this belief; nevertheless you find yourself hoping that she’s watching you during your moment of triumphs and tragedy alike and, slowly, you join your hands together, blocking out the rest of the world.«Thank for your help, mom»She has been the one constant, true presence of your entire life up until her mortal shell died; the question as to how, or what, could have killed a S-rank fire mage along with a full squad of the best soldiers of Gwynedd is probably the last key you need to uncover in this journey.«I hope… no I’ll make sure your efforts aren’t wasted»
You can’t possibly know or understand how much time she put into this perfect scenario; somehow, something motivated her to stop her observations for actively trying to steer the world in the direction of her choosing with the use of subterfuge instead of outright manifestation of power and belief. You can only pretend to understand the game she’s playing, but it’s only because of her and her alone that you have a chance to see this war through without any of these girls dying. Yes it-‘’W-what!? What!? No stop ah!’’‘’Aaaaaaaaaaaammmeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’’Then your thoughts are rudely interrupted, everyone in the church turn toward the pale fluffy one as she wiggled despite the pains of the wounds, struggling with something very… in fact TOO unique. A tiny, tiny slime of a girl has somehow managed to sneak past Mylen to jump right into what would have been the Kumiho cleavage if it weren’t for the bandages, instead the centimeters tall transparent, blue… thing clung to the neck of the tall vixen, arms completely absent of hands as they ended in stumps while the bottom half of its body merged into a slimy pond, Ame was struck between trying to peel her off delicately or avoid touching the fragile tiny thing altogether.‘’How did… what!?’’Obviously the raven haired fluffy one wasn’t expecting that, surprisingly however her golden eyes watered with emotions as she desperately fought back visible tears from her eyes.‘’What are you doing –here-!?’’Ame-no-Uzume put emphasis on the word, the slime continued to hug her throat, its humid, sticky form undoubtedly ruining parts of the bandages.…What do you do?
>>30242505Use magic and control it.it's made of water right?
>>30242580 it's not made of water
>>30242505Calm it down.Go over and scoop it up.play with slime daughteru.
>>30242505Ask who the slime is. It seems sentient
>>30242505So... this slime a friend of Ame's? Seems like it, but gotta be sure and we still don't know who's who with pretty much anybody being a possible sleeper agent. Even we could be, we did make nice with a mysterious white haired girl before this whole story got started.
>>30242505Make it a friend!Turbo slime party!
>>30242505Go over there and calm the slime down and see what we can do to redress Ame's bandages.And what IS she doing here? If I remember correctly she's supposed to be at the Yukionna's Inn.
>>30242773There weren't any slimes at the inn, this is the first time you've seen her.
>>30242505Slime familiar
>>30242629supporting.
>>30243608Oh gosh what a cute slime
The poor queen is wiggling pitifully as she keep her hands hovering above the tiny form of the slime; you feel tempted to embrace focus and act upon it but… the tiny, cute monster looks much too inoffensive and full of affection to be of any harm, beside Ame would have taken care to put herself in safety if she thought herself in danger, in fact the fluffy queen emotions… her single eye close as small trickle of humidity falls, crawling down her cheek softly as she very, very swiftly rub it away as you make your way closer curiously, Hadraniel hot on your heels as Athena and Sylphis exchanged some glances of incomprehension.‘’Ame…?’’The little slime doesn’t seem to want to let go but your presence, along with Hadraniel, make it turn its head toward you and you finally get a good. The creature is tiny indeed, probably twenty centimeters tall without hands and legs, its translucid body is tinted in heavy, fresh blue akin to the color of the sky and a tiny rosy core is floating graceless inside, sometime bobbing upward to poke the bandages; it also somehow morphed into a heart and, finally when you cross eyes with its… or hers, two big, brilliant sapphire open in wide surprise as she notice Hadraniel.‘’Aah! Angel! Bad! Ame run go!’’ The strange little one blot… right into the hands of the queen who proved herself dextrous despite the bandages, she quickly closed her hands around the lithe, watery form provoking no end of protest.‘’Nnnngh! Ame! Leggo! I need to warn… yer killing meeeeeee!’’A dramatic bubble escaped the slime mouth as all strength, vitality and motion escape her, laying inside Ame fist like a wet, slimy puppet as you and the Embodiment… in fact everyone inside is watching with morbid curiosity at the creature apparent demise. ‘’Don’t even try, I know how to hold you, Aurore’’‘’Ah!’’
Hadraniel suddenly protected her face with her forearm as the slime cranium literally spit a jet of slime toward your angelic lover.‘’Get away, golden boy!’’The tiny creature aggressiveness has now unfortunately fallen on you and this time, it’s your turn to protect yourself as a spit of slime land on your forearm, staining your clothes probably forever as it literally enter the fabric to color it sky blue.Why did she call you Golden Boy…? ‘’Oooooooooooi!’’A strange masculine scream suddenly break the atmosphere, the little slime trapped in the hands of the queen look positively… afraid? Some kind of ripple spread throughout her body while Ame ears stand up straight, in fact her entire body freeze over, rigid as stone; the little creature in her palms is now smiling, in fact beaming causing a knot of fear in your guts. ‘’Hum, little one perhaps…’’Try as you might to inject SOME senses in this confusing mess of an entrance, you and Hadraniel, along with Athena as she let out a sharp whistle, turn your heads toward the opening of the church where a young man is walking at a fast, frustrated pace.‘’Aurore!’’He nearly howl as he finally turn toward the lot of you, completely ignoring the colorful cast of characters composing your group as his sharp brown eyes settle on the little slime in Ame bandaged hands.‘’How many times do I have to tell you not to go running off on your own like tha-"
He stop midway, not even acknowledging Mylen sharp run as she hefted spear and shield to meet him along with Athena and Sylphis spreading on the courtyard to impede his progress, the young man mouth hang open in total disbelief as he, in turn, stand with the rigidity of stones as Ame tails stop swishing, all furs on her body standing up straight like that of an angry cat. The young man in question, a swordsman by the look of it, looks rather unassuming at first glance; a youthful face sharing your age with short black hair to avoid frustration during combat, clothes shared by what few males remain in this city make the sword on his hip stand out like a sore thumb.A very, very awkward silence suddenly fall as three of the girls are being overprotective, you hear the small laugh of the Demon Lord quickly dwarfed by the slime; her tone changed to one of childish regret.‘’…I just wanted first dib, Zech’’ ‘’Um… Siegfried what’s going on?’’Hadraniel whisper as the stony awkwardness return despite the slime lubrication.What do you do?
>>30243732Shrug to bestgirl. I don't have clue."Ame? Who's this? She mentioned a warning too, maybe uh, settle her down a bit."
>>30243732I'm as lost as the rest of you. The queen may have better answers
>>30243732"I don't know, Hadraniel."I knew I should have brought extra bandages and an umbrella. Let me see those bandages and see if they need to be replaced."Our first priority is tending to Ame's bandages, if only because fussing over her like that is funny.As for Zech and Aurore, they can explain themselves to Athena, Sylphis, and Mylen.
>>30243732Awww, little slime daughteru just trying to protect people from the big bad angels. Can't blame her reaction, given how fluffy white wings have carried naught but death and destruction in their wake for all these people are concerned.Given how the bastards can fly they don't even need siege towers and the like. It would have been a hellish nightmare here. All they have to do is fly up, land, kill some people, fly away once the cavalry rolls in. Lather, rinse, repeat until they're weakened enough to just go all in and put the whole damn city to the sword (doubtlessly their goal). Would have worked too, if it wasn't for suddenly wyverns. Thank God we took bro up on his offer.
>>30243732"AS YOUR HUSBAND I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION AT ONCE."
>>30243732Hello Zechs
>>30243834>>30243829>>30243772Good good, confusion is good right now.>>30243917I don't think that's a consensus.>>30243926 Who?Anyway, writing now, it does look like I have a course of action.
>>30243953Char clone from Gundam Wing is named Zechs
‘’I…’’You stop as the silence stretches on, Mylen, Sylphis and Athena looking back and forth in confusion, relaxing their guards given the young man total absence of aggression; his hands never once hovered near the pommel of his blade and none of the girls were keen on shedding more blood on this wounded part of the city. ‘’Have no idea’’You finally finish as you turn toward the Embodiment of Love, giving her armored shoulder pad a little pat as you move forward toward the queen, the little slime still stuck in her hands whirl toward you in response in place of the queen, you try you best to announce your presence by squeezing one of her tails.‘’Golden boy approaches’’You reward the little thing by rolling your eyes, then concentrating on your wife to be, single eyes still wide as she stare at the young man, oftentimes alternating to look at the slime dubbed ‘’Aurore’’ and, every single time without fault, the little creature would smile broadly back at her. "I knew I should have brought extra bandages and an umbrella. Let me see those clothes and see if they need to be replaced."Your actions finally make the world turns again as you lean in toward the vixen’s neck, the tightly wrapped bandaged came loose revealing the pale, clear skin of her neck but no sign of corrupted paste to be seen, in fact the magical runes themselves have completely disappeared and the queen skin is bereft of wounds and marking, so much in fact that you actually remove the lot of it carefully as you examine her thoroughly; either the bandages have done a marvelous jobs at healing, or the wounds on her neck were superficial at best.However it IS very odd that the entire magical part of the runes has up and disappeared with contact with the slime, are they that fragile?‘’Ahem… ahem! Right’’
Ame-no-Uzume shake her heads and step back, unfurling the palms of her hands to let the little slime go but the tiny creature stay in place, sucking up to her flesh and, of course, ruining the bandages as she hop up and down, seemingly pumping while staring up at the queen in silence.A short lived silence.‘’Who are these people?’’The young man seem out of his own stupor as he awkwardly let out a cough, rubbing the back of his head while rubbing the ground with his heel, not making any movements forward, his eyes now finally starting to hover past Ame and the slime to give every women present a stare of interest mingled with surprise, as if suddenly acknowledging the presence of heavily armed monsters in the vicinity.‘’Well they… you could call them my allies and vassals’’‘’Oh, even golden boy?’’‘’We’ve been fighting this war and…. He proved himself already’’‘’Hmmmm’’The little creature shimmy itself toward the queen wrist while giving you a glare, her small little burgeoning eyes seemingly pumping as she give you a thorough work over with a very, very lively stare of total disappointment and disbelief. For such a small creature she’s got spirit.‘’Everyone!’’Ame finally perk up right up until you feel a rather intense emotion cascading from Athena, a quick glance reveal that she’s looking at this Zech fellow in realization.
‘’I… I’d like you to welcome these two, this little one in my hands…’’She hefts the slime that jump up and land in a splat, poor Ame had to fumble to avoid dropping the fragile thing.‘’Is called Aurore and the gentleman currently waiting for lowered weapon…’’ Said man wave at the lot of you while smiling, albeit awkwardly while Sylphis and Mylen still keep their guards up menacingly, the succubus hip wings flapping gently; you also catch the sight of the Demon Lord stepping deeper into the ruin, trying her best to avoid his sight. ‘’Is named Zechariah, both friends and heroes the demons war thirty years ago, they also greatly helped founding the Shining Knight. They’re allies, really, so I order you all to stand down’’Her voice carried a strong imperious tone, all but trampling any counter arguments as another awkward atmosphere planted itself… which was quickly shattered.‘’It’s a BUG’’‘’Aaah!’’Bletsia managed to creep closer to get a good look at the slime and the insult was certainly felt, the Oomukade proceeded to mercilessly poke the little slime with her big antennas, making the entity laugh without end.Well… what now mister Shieffer?
>>30244691"Hello, Aurore. You mentioned something about a warning?"Can we magic up a slime friend for her to play with too?
>>30244691Introduce ourselves to Zechs
>>30244763You could but the slime isn't going t obe sentient, it'd be nothing more than a puppet
>>30244691I hope our two "pilgrims" know to be doubly careful and not to allow a break in cover here now. If they are heroes of the demonic incursion, and they find out who they're in the same room as, they may well attack first and ask questions never.Bad blood and vendettas, never a good thing to risk provoking.We should introduce ourselves, Ame just introduced them so we really ought get ours out of the way.>>30244779No way at all? Not even if we spent a few days on some sort of summoning ritual for it?
>>30244691Introduce ourselves formally. Golden boy - she probably can see part of our divine heritage.
>>30244863Must show up as an aura or something in Slime-Vision. We certainly ain't decked out like this guy.If that gets revealed here our current locale will be oddly fitting. The son of the god that was worshiped here and all. I wonder if they'd even buy it.
>>30244853You'd need a very elaborate ritual but yes, spend a few days and you'll be able t conjure a slime. It's a pretty arduous process tough, and actually granting it sentience and life is an ungodly hard experience but the only, only time magic has sown to ever ''give birth''.Seem like the consensus is a formal intro, so I'll go with that.
>>30244927They are friends of Ame, yes?So introducing ourselves is only polite.
>>30244927So, the summons Zipangu magi tend to rely on when they get serious, are they just temporary manifestations of unsentient power bound to a corporeal form or are we talking something akin to summoning Jutsu in that they actually hang around someplace else and are called by those that have "contracted" with them through the spell? Or is it something in between/totally different?
>>30244853>I hope our two "pilgrims"Actually, only Daiyu is here; Belphegor was sent to a proper alchemical facility to work her magic. >>30245038Both. the vast, vast majority of war mages put unsentient powers to form, like yo usaw with Ame chimera during the swamp; they are more or less ideas of belief of creature given form. Very, very few monsters actually made contract with remnant of mythological entities, but there's a few of them around, just like how there's nearly no ''elemental'' contract anymore. Both are a dying breed.
The bandaged fluffy queen seem torn between allowing Bletsia fun and stopping her, while the field of church debris saw its tension considerably lessened once you hear the distinctive ‘’Scwink’’ of Sylphis retreating scythes, the mantis concealing herself once more in the big hooded cloak as she give the young man a nod while Mylen is the last one to relax, standing straight while slapping the ground with the twisted, red spear and glaring at the various onlooker, her long raven hair nearly touching the ground as her wings flaps in warning. ‘’Say Aurore…’’You had to shoo the grumpy the Oomukade who, of course, transferred her grudge on you as you gently prodded her away, the girl letting out a ‘’hmph’’ as she made her way toward Rhy, sulking… only to earn herself a slimy squirt from the vindictive blue girl. ‘’You said something about a warning?’’‘’Ooh yes! There’s an angel with you! Had to warn ya!’’…could you truly expect anything better? Still, the energetic girl went on to bounce up and downs on Ame increasingly ruined bandages and the queen finally motivated Hadraniel to hold her, which cause no end of grief for the poor slime as she let out a loud, dramatic ‘’Nwoooooo!’’.You just shook your head, making your way toward the gentleman who, in turn, waked toward the entrance of the ruined church, giving each of the girls a nod with a polite greeting, stopping his stride to size you up as you stop in front of him. He’s taller than you thought, easily your own height; the only girls that match this would be Ame-no-Uzume and his eyes shows a quick sharpness of mind you remember seeing in the very well trained warriors of your family; this man entire stance project an unassuming aura but there is much, much more than meet the eyes. Then he’s the first one to break the silence, extending his hand toward you.‘’Name’s Zechariah’’
He say, tone solid and amiable, mouth curled in a cordial smile, his gaze never straying from your own. You meet the handshake firmly.‘’Siegfried Shieffer, pleasure to meet a veteran like you’’ "Likewise, I'm sure, Mister Shieffer.’’The handshake finishes, his grip strong and proud just like one could expect of a man of the sword. ‘’So, I guess the fluffy tails found themselves a proper replacement for me."His smile finally show itself as he shoot Ame a teasing glance, The queen tough wasn’t looking in your direction, instead her back turning and the only acknowledgement came in the form of a little twitch of ears as her long gray tails swished to and fro gently in the air as her attention was obviously on the little slime trembling in Hadraniel hands.What do you do, mister Shieffer?
>>30245639>‘’You said something about a warning?’’>‘’Ooh yes! There’s an angel with you! Had to warn ya!’’>>30244763You really needed this answered when it was obvious that the slime was talking about Hadraniel?Really?
>>30245708You worked with the queen before this? What do you specialize in? Swords? Spells?
>>30245708"I'm confident that my abilities match up to any and all expectations, in all relevant matters."So, you are still part of the Shining Knights?"
A unique fellow that’s the first impression, whether good or not, that remains to be seen. You stay silent momentarily as the plaint of the slimes reach your eyes, something about ‘’not being good for eating’’ forcing an amused smile out of you as you momentarily break stare to examine your surroundings, Athena went back in the church while Mylen is guarding the entrance, onlookers are gathering here and there but everyone is much too busy cleaning up the burns and wreckages to give this unique incident too much attention. ‘’I’m more than confident that my abilities will match up to all incoming trials and expectations’’You’ve already infiltrated the heart of the enemy stronghold and pulled off an assassination of a high ranked member, while simultaneously sparing the life of a leader of Zipangu and making a new, potent ally; carving your own path out of these incessant loops while simultaneously accomplishing the dreams of your mother and Tsukiyomi, that’s the onus placed on your shoulders.The man responds with an amused chuckle, this time smiling from ears to ears while nodding, a lesser man would take this as mocking, but his manners don’t translate this meaning. "Really, now. Well, given that you seemed to have earned Ame and Tsu's approval, I'll have to take your word for it."It certainly wasn’t an easy thing to get; this guy is speaking from experience.
‘’So, are you still in the Shining Knights?’’ A rather careless comment which quickly earn a cringe from the swordsman, his spirit leave slightly as his eyes cloud over in short lived nostalgia before meeting your gaze once more, whatever clouded his mind now passed. "Not anymore... I took my leave just after we brought an end to the Demon Lord's invasion, but that's... A bit of an unpleasant tale best reserved for another time, I believe."A tale dating back thirty years isn’t…Wait a second.Thirty years?Slowly you turn toward the little slime crawling up Hadraniel armor, leaving a slimy trail similar to slugs as she’s giving the Embodiment a suspicious look.Slime are very short lived; how in the hell could she be thirty years old?But… do you have anything else to ask, mister Shieffer?
>>30246289Not really.We should get a move on to the diplomacy tent.
>>30246415Hmm, given the lack of replies I'll start proceeding with that.
>>30246415This
>>30246415>>30246550It's a bit of an abrupt cut, but 'll try my best
>>30246592Looks like a lot of people dropped off for the night. I know I'm going to have to go soon, it's nearly 4:30.
>>30246800Well Iguess I'll have to stop soon and continue sunday as planned then.
>>30246592Hi Best QM, how is your night so far?
>>30246289"Well you certainly don't look your age Zech, The war started before I was born yet you don't look any older than I do."
>>30246967As much as I want to add this I'll have to redo my entire text if I did.
>>30247043Darn, I dropped out for a bit to run an errand hence the late reply. RL never sleeps. Thanks though. I do wonder how he looks so young given how he has to be over 40.
>>30247043You don't have to re-do everything...Just add it as a parting sentence as we leave maybe?
>>30247201Hrm maybe I can add it as a mid-walk conversation, i'll cut what I had in mind in two and modify some stuff.
>>30247236If he drops the info it may also cover how Lex is so strapping at what has to be a very advanced age. Lescatie was around 50 years ago if I remember correctly and High Generals have to spend a few years in the hierarchy to ascend to the top of the command structure. So that dude has to be pushing 70 at least.
>>30247269Let's jsut say that the quatuor of named males (Siggy-Kyorn-Zechariah-Lex) Are very, very interesting man.Not that Siegfried big brother is lacking of course...
>>30247355Sad fact there's about 5 girls to every one male on average. Sheer demographics say the World's gonna be a lot emptier in a few decades even if we do somehow pull this out of our ass and get our true happy end.Unless the incubi retain some of their higher mental functions (i.e. can stop thinking about sex and do something productive after a good hour or two in the sack) and mating with them doesn't result in instantly, permanently corrupted children. Even then it's still gonna be a big drop in the numbers as it likely won't make up for the lopsided demographics entirely.Oh well, at least after this humanity and monsterkind won't be facing eventual extinction. I'll take a big hit to the population numbers over guaranteed extinction or required genocide any day. Enough people on all sides have died in this "eternal" struggle between man, angels, and monsters. It's time it ended.
Mysteries within mysteries, the existence of a strange slime well beyond her life expectancy and a young male barely a day older than you despite having walked and fought in Zipangu before your birth make for an intriguing duo, but curiosity isn’t a luxury you can afford right now; with the balance of two countries just about ready to go on an all-out war with the Church, making your big brother wait any longer isn’t going to be very beneficial and, as much as you want to clear up the mysteries of this Zechariah, your eyes and attention ought to resettle on the task at hands.‘’We have business back at the Rahall mansion, would you like to accompany us?’’ The proposition catch him of guard, his eyes open slightly and his gaze fly toward the Queen and Embodiment teasing the tiny slime while everyone else is cozying up inside the church, with Bletsia still sulking beside Rhy, the poor little head of clan seems completely at a loss."I don't see why not. Besides, I'd hate to see Ame off on such short notice, as would Aurore, I'll bet.’’Out of the two the blue entity is definitely enjoying herself immensely, Ame is also quite happy, a childish amusement and wonder seem to have completely shattered the façade of seriousness previously occupying her mind, in fact you’ve never seen this strange peaceful expression before; she’s definitely treasuring the slime much, much more than you could imagine.Then again…‘’We've got 30 years worth of catching up to do."Old comrades are always treasured and kept close at heart; you accompany the swordsman back to the church and give a quick glance toward Daiyu; her pilgrim disguise is still holding and she’s, of course, making herself as quiet as possible; you did spy the eyes of the man flying toward Mylen a few time but that was the only extend of potential hostility. Participating in a war with demons obviously leaves scars, at least none that’d motivate an automatic clash with a succubus.
>>30247477I want to bully that cyclops and make her cry.
>>30247596you are a horrible personSo Do I
The Demon Lord is bound to be a very different story. The young man started introducing himself formally everyone, although you did spy his short discussion with the Embodiment; right as the angel extended her hands to give him back the slime (the tiny creature reluctantly jumped to cling and crawl up his arm) the swordsman said ‘’Hadraniel right?’’, interrupting her right as she was about to answer.You felt a surge of stress when he approached the hooded form of Daiyu but, the exchange was cordial enough to prevent any outburst, only the slime gave the demon a big, strange look before hopping back in the pocket of the swordsman.‘’We’ve lingered too long haven’t we?’’Ame let out a sigh, shaking her head while undoing the bindings in her hands, revealing soft, sensitive flesh still marked by war, what would have been fresh scars and nearly opening wounds had been reduced to forlorn marks of bygones violence, making the magical bandages a little redundant.You take your place beside her right as Zechariah move toward the front, soundlessly taking the guard of your right flanks as the hyperactive slime somehow crept up of his pocket to nestle on his shoulder, forming a tiny waist and legs as she started doing… some kind of martial art kata.‘’It’s time to meet a King’’Your words bring tension and Ame let out a long sigh while massaging her cheek, trying in vain to rub the color away.‘’My armor is slimy…’’Poor Poor angel forced to endure the harsh reality of bonding with a slime, consequently this make you look back toward the new arrival and… the slime isn’t leaving any traces on him; that’s some obvious favoritism alright. --
The heavily armed group had to take a few detours thank to debris blocking a few paths, Bletsia kept a rather feverish pace as she started circling Zechariah like a bird of prey, lolling her tongue and grimace toward that little slime that, in turn, kept launching squirt of slime in indignant anger and missing, a strange play that was (fortunately or not) forced to end once you entered the main plaza choke full of refugee and soldiers, compacting the group considerably as you made your way toward the big, big mansion; the numbers of monsters in the area was staggering, even with the soldiers helping you out you had to elbow your way here and there to give Ame and Rhy proper space, which in turn put Zechariah close to you, motivating you to ask an increasingly irresistible question.‘’You certainly don't look your age Zech, The war started before I was born yet you don't look any older than I do."He give a laugh while the little slime booing some cats away suddenly grow silent, looking from her shoulder toward the man who shake his head slightly, almost sadly. "Heh. Not half-bad for a guy pushing his early 50s, right?’’He grins broadly, obviously proud of this accomplishment. ‘’Old man’’The little slime chime in, robbing some of his grace.‘’Let's just say that it's a complicated matter. If you get the chance, you might wanna ask Tsu for the answer to that one. She could probably explain it better than I can."Old histories make for old wounds; you’ve already unearthed one in the enclosed fortress, obviously that’s not the end of that was history… for a moment you grow silent and give the pilgrim a little stare, Daiyu simply forge on in between Hadraniel and Mylen, keeping an oblivious mask.Do you have anything to ask?
>>30247596>>30247616 I want to bully Tsu and make her cry
>>30247656Cyclops bullying superior.
>>30247656I want to buy a bunch of different sized slimegirls, put them in pots and slap them to play them like drums. Then form a travelling slime band.
>>30247634"So, what's the story with you and Aurore?"
>>30247596>>30247616You are horrible people, though I see your reasoning. I know, that big eye, the thought of tears running from it does engender a definite REJOICE factor even I can admit to noticing. But if I ever encountered one myself, I'd just want to hug her and tell her I'm not like all the bullies. Then prove it to her. She's been through so much, about time she caught a break in the form of an actual nice person who finds her eye quite striking.>>30247656I thought you said she was your favorite character in all this. We already bullied her anyway, stabbed a knife right through her heart we did when we defected.
>>30247634Maybe go ask BigD if she's okay?
>>30247725>I thought you said she was your favorite character in all this. Love hurt >>30247727BigD? You mean the Demon Lord?
>>30247796Yeah. There's no other characters named D and it works as an easy phrase to describe her name and position.
>>30247796Probably, almost certainly. Either that or he's making a shadowrun reference given how we're supposed to have a "Great Wurm" incoming and "Big D" is a nickname for Dunkelzhan, an elder dragon and bearer of the dubious honor of having the shortest term of office as President of the United States (or rather, what remained of it).He really liked the mortal races, a lot. Didn't give much of a fuck about "draconic" politics and the like. He'd probably hate Orion's guts for several reasons and would have had him "removed" ages ago somehow. Let's hope the one we have coming in is half the dragon he was.
>>30247727Not in front of the opposing veteran of the genocidal war that she started and led.
>>30247934Now now, it wasn't genocidal from a certain point of view. Corruption doesn't kill (unless we're talking a ton of it, as everything counts in large amounts), it changes, alters, warps, and distorts those who come into contact with it.It wasn't genocidal, more like a giant attempt at mind rape and personality alteration. If she had won, Zipangu would have become like the demon realm. Fucking in the streets, hedonism for everyone, orgy porgy, all that jazz.They obviously didn't want that, but to call it a genocide is a misnomer as that implies mass death. Then again, are not the corrupted dead in all but literal point of fact?
"So, what's the story with you and Aurore?"You gaze drift from the swordsman to the little one now being lazy, crawling to his other shoulders so she can take a good look at you while muttering something about ‘’Golden Boy’’. The young man doesn’t answer straight away, instead he start looking around, craning his neck and letting out abrupt ‘’hrm’’ as he collide here and there with a few cat refugee, you also saw Ame ears twitching again; thankfully the crowd opened in a momentary pocket to allow some venue of comfortable movements. "You sure have a knack for asking ill-timed questions, Siegfried Shieffer.’’The talent inherent to those of noble blood, you’d give a taunting grin but that’d be pushing your luck.‘’For now, all you need to know is that I raised her from birth, and that she's... Incredibly precious to me’’Raised slime from birth? Could he be a mage? The little creature takes this as her queue, her little head prop up toward him as she grin wickedly.‘’Precious enough to take as a lover, aye? Aye?’’ She’s… somehow she morphed a pair of eyebrows above her eyes and started wiggling them up and down.He answers the taunt by looking at her, staring completely unimpressed while Hadraniel wings flapped, obviously listening. "When you put it like that, it sounds... Questionable."A barely restrained guffaw came from the tiny slime as she proceeded to continue her taunt.‘’Questionable enough to make gr-‘’
‘’ANYWAY!’’The swordsman interrupted the girl, tapping her gently on his shoulder, forcing her entire body to nearly splat; her reply was a strange phenomenon of magic without casting, her little body change to creature tiny little mouth that snapped shut on his flesh, causing numerous tiny bites that were shrugged off without a care in the world as he face you with a rather… unsettling smile; a broad grin that border on bloodthirsty, yet somehow empty of malice.‘’You've certainly got a retinue of lovely women around you here, so, lemme give you a fair bit of advice: Don't get any funny ideas about the slime. 'Kay?" Point taken.Can’t say you ever saw someone looking just about ready to slaughter you with a gentle, eerie smile, even the little smile usual liveliness was reduced to an awkward ‘’hehehe’’ while Mylen answered the veiled threat by – loudly- clapping the staff of her spear on the ground; thankfully the new awkwardness was short lived as a few horns started blowing, heralding the arrival of the Queen of Inner Zipangu and representative of the military alliance, lines and lines of halberdiers shoved the crowds away as the group traveling onward, sky free of patrolling wyverns; inside this city recently freed of siege, you’ll be meeting your big brother a second time and afterward… War. >A Tale of Monster -105- end.
>>30248028The definition of genocide includes systematic corruption or erasure of a culture. So yes, it was genocide. Killing all members of a given nationality, ethnic group, or culture is only one way that a genocide can be undertaken.
>>30248304Hahahaha! So the slime is his waifu is she? Marvelous. Looks like you managed to slip a slime girl into this little story like you wanted to after all. And with a good introduction to boot. I applaud you.Not every girl we meet needs be a potential member of the harem, seeing other relationships is a joy in itself.>>30248341As I said, from a certain point of view. I still see it as genocidal you know, just not in the traditional sense. Though we must remember that RL doesn't have things like corruption, charm magic, and things that could pass for them (thank god almighty).
>>30248304Quite frankly, I'm insulted by what he's insinuating, both about Siegfried and the company he keeps.
>>30248384Thank you for the compliment and she's certainly his waifu, Zechariah is passionate about her that's for certain. Now that I FINALLY have all the males characters I wanted introduced, I've got a little bonding event cooking up for when we make it back to the fortress. But for now, diplomacy is needed thankfully, not one where you have to watch for pitfalls given that Gil commited his army and can't exactly turn back around. Also Zechariah isn't a character of my own making, this update was a bit of a collab job, just putting that out there >>30248438It's not an insinuation when it's... pretty true.
>>30248483>It's not an insinuation when it's... pretty truePerhaps it's a problem with translation, but the insinuation isn't that the Siegfried is all of the girls' lover, but that the usual insinuation made is that the girls are whores and/or Siegfried has collected them for his own amusement rather than having actual romantic feelings for them.
>>30248698Then you've read it completely wrong because polyamory is pretty popular in Zipangu for obvious reasons and he's one of the few people not too okay with it. Twas just a friendly warning since he had a little more time to take in Zipangu culture, especially the Rahall.
>>30248698Hard to avoid, given how the circumstances of this world have made it much easier for aspiring "Don Juan's" to assemble harems. Easy to take us for one, given our aspirations.When there's not nearly enough dick to go around women start to reorganize their priorities. Men would too, if the situation were reversed. If the only poon for miles made a pass at you, I don't think you'd turn it down even if it meant sharing your girl with a few other men.Basic economics in the end. A rare thing, rare thing that is very much in demand and it just made itself available to you. Not the happiest thing, but a very understandable thing. On the edge, "traditional" choices fall by the wayside.There are many "users" out there, the fact we are not will take some proof. Trust, but verify, as they say.
>>30248756>polyamoryDon't you mean polygamy? Also, you just said that Zechariah is one of the few people not okay with the kind of relationships that Siegfried is in, which would mean that the insinuation was read completely right. Zechariah might have meant it as a friendly warning, but it was also an insult.
>>30248875While having trouble swallowing that reality it doesn't mean he's ignoring it either, hell he had his own unique relationships before. If you want to take a joke as an insult, so be it, but I don't think that's how the majority will see it.
>>30248875So long as it doesn't result in a backstab he can hate and insult us all he wants. We need every last motherfucker we can get on our side and this "Zech" seems like a hardcore badass. We'll need every person who can claim to be with us during our final confrontations with Orion and Deruella to pull through this without any deaths.The deck is very much stacked against us, we gotta cheat any way we can to counter that. Part of that involves more badasses than the enemy has and I know they've got a good number. We've downed but one fallen for example, felwhore has a few more to cram down our throats. So does Orion, his "best men" hold that position for a reason and you can bet your ass he brought them with him to this island.
>>30248963>he can hate and insult us all he wantsLet's not go out of our way to think of falsehood as truth, shall we?
>>30248940>If you want to take a joke as an insult, so be it, but I don't think that's how the majority will see it.I disagree. I don't think people will see it as a joke, but as an insult and a threat. There really wasn't anything to indicate Zechariah as anything but serious.If it was supposed to be a joke, then it had terrible delivery.
>>30249005http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR4N5OhcY9sI hope he was being amicable in his own way, good friends are hard to find in war. And if you say he's got our back for the most part I hope you're right. Again, need all the help we can get. After we get scanned, he's next.It could be him, it could be Ame, it could even be us! We have major problem, very major. Nobody is exempt, she's older than all of us save Daiyu. She's had time, can't ignore that fact.>>30249009Terrible delivery or not we do know this. Don't hit on the slime girl and everything is cool. She's more daughteru material to us anyway, much like Bletsia.
>>30249009Fine, I'm not here to play Opinion Police, just stating what's true as the QM. There wasn't any insults or threats in that exchange, Mylen thought of it as an insult because she's protective and that's about it. If you want to alter Siegfried attitude after Zechariah statement, then I'll shift accordingly but I still feel like you are reading too much into it.
>>30249109>just stating what's true as the QMWhat's objectively true due to meta-knowledge from the QM, and what the character/player perceived due to how the QM delivered it, are two different things.We can only judge based on how you presented a situation to us; what your NPC's thought they were doing doesn't matter.
>>30249009If the GM says that's not an insult in the culture he's running in his game? Then it's not an insult and we react as such.Anyway. DIPLOMANCY GO!
>>30249160he does however have a say over what our character would ACTUALLY know and how they might react differently given an entirely different culture.
>>30249176Except, there was no joke. There was just the threat.Where was the joke, INH? All Zechariah did was threaten Siegfried to stay away from the slime.
>>30249208Wouldn't you do whatever it took to keep people away from your waifu? Envy is a deadly sin for a reason.
>>30248875Also no, I did not mean polygamy but polyamory.Let's take it straight out of the dictionary. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/polygamy?s=tnoun1.the practice or condition of having more than one spouse, especially wife, at one time. Compare bigamy ( def 1 ) , monogamy ( def 1 ) .http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/polyamory?s=tMain Entry: polyamoryPart of Speech: nDefinition: participation in multiple and simultaneous loving or sexual relationships There is a key difference and Zipangu lean much more on the Polyamory side, it can almsot be side with Athena and Sylphis but, as always, relationships are too unique to properly put a staple on. >>30249208The joke was that Siegfried multiple loving relationship is so incredibly obvious that EVERYONE see it. Zechariah is EXTREMELY OVERPROTECTIVE of the slime, so that threat was to hammer this home.
>>30249162>>30249176>Can’t say you ever saw someone looking just about ready to slaughter you with a gentle, eerie smile,>while Mylen answered the veiled threatSiegfried and Mylen both saw it as a threat. That's the QM describing the character's reaction to the NPC's words. So even if Zechariah meant it as a joke, INH already described both Siegfried and Mylen taking it as a threat.
>>30249254>There is a key difference and Zipangu lean much more on the Polyamory sideSo Zipangu's cultural norm is to have multiple relationships but only one spouse?
>>30249302Sort of, given the pratice of soul link, that's only possible between two people. People approach relationship with suprising frankness.>>30249255There's threat yes and that's to picture his overprotectiveness; he just poke some fun while he was at it.I'l admit ''joke'' was a bad way to describe it, sorry if I sound bitter
Can't a guy show he's overprotective of his waifu without making everyone offended over it?Geez. Chill out a bit, guys.
>>30249254Ok we get it, Slime is his girl, any attempt to add her to any kind of sexual relationship will end badly if he has a thing to say about it.Fitting really, if we are going for the end I think we are. No matter what, a waifu is a waifu. That means they belong to you, and you belong to them. Challenge that in any way, and you can expect hell. Never mess with another man's money, never mess with another man's ego and most, most of all... Never mess with another. Man's. Woman. If you want to live that is.I salute you again for this. Romance is a thing everyone takes seriously. We will respect his wishes on this front. Slime is his, she deserves such al man and got one. Won the lottery she did all things considered. Let his own version of "best girl" win.>>30249360I'm on your page anon. One does not allow anything bad to befall their wife if they can help it if they're serious.
>>30249360>>30249434agreed.Now let's drop it and get to casting diplomancy on our brother.
>>30249466Not quite diplomacy, more war council given that he's already commited his troops. >>30249434Having him recall the tales of the war ought to be very interesting
>>30249347>he just poke some fun while he was at it.Maybe it sounded better in your head?A properly set up joke/poking fun at Siegfried's situation would have involved mentioning the number of his current relationships, and that he should not consider adding the slime, phrased so that it references the number of relationships mentioned previously.Such as:"Quite a handful of beauties you have there; adding a slime could be just one too many."or"You've certainly got a retinue of lovely women around you; so you should know to leave well enough alone."Right now it just falls flat.>>30249360>>30249434>>30249466Are you actually going to help INH's writing by providing critiques or just offer him empty platitudes?
>>30249466He's already on our side. The real question is strategy. Orion has to go before this little alliance has any kind of long-term hope. And if gouging out his very fucking heart with a powered up version of one of our own absolute desperation spell didn't even phase him well...Know the odds. Even at our best we couldn't even slow him down a second. Granted it was one on one with next to no info but for hell's sake, know who the enemy really is. Our best wasn't nearly good enough, S-Rank means shit to that target. We need more, much more, to end him. I just pray we get it in time.
>>30249537In my opnion what fall truly flat is the way I described him after his words, Zechariah sentence itself was fine, it's how I went about the threat and blew it out of proportions. That's what gave the wrong message.
your French snark is to much for us southern Gentlemen Insert.
>>30249622I still kind of liked it, an average man sees a perceived playboy, envy kind of kicks in. Nobody wants to lose a waifu to an up and comer. If only because he wants em' to not be used.Totally logical, I bet the slime had her own share of hardships. Hardships he hopes to spare her from. A good man, in the end.
>>30249537Rest assured, I provide critiques when I feel there's a need for them.There really isn't much of a difference between>"You've certainly got a retinue of lovely women around you; so you should know to leave well enough alone."and what was actually said.If there was a subject you should have criticized, it was the fact that the way it was presented, not how it was said, might have come across in an unintended manner.
>>30249670>I bet the slime had her own share of hardshipsI've already been sprinkling lots of hints about her irregularity A little male bonding where everyone reveal some secrets is in order, that's for sure.
>>30249622You did go from the threat, to an awkward silence, to us moving on. That really just left it at a threat with nothing to take the edge off.
>>30249664I'll keep away from the future.>>30249745I fucked up the delivery massively, I was growing tired and eager to end it for tonight and get to planning the encounter with big brother, so I was too hasty.
>>30249691>I provide critiques when I feel there's a need for them.So you felt that this didn't need to be critiqued, then? That is what you're saying, after all, since you didn't provide any until after INH admitted the problems himself.
>>30249720http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qbbsTURM2sHope Kyorn is in the itinerary. I've been seeing him as a Shizuo Heiwajima. Really a good guy, really, truly. Nicest guy, 'cept' for the rage that is. Go for his head and well, all bets are off.
>>30249802Shizuo is a very, very fair comparison. I'll give you a thumb up. And kissing cats
>>30249772Not at first, no. Because this whole mess started from one person being offended over what was said.Am I not allowed to hear counterarguments, analyze the validity of them, and readjust my stance accordingly?
>>30249843Man do we think alike...
>>30249881>Because this whole mess started from one person being offended over what was said.Who turned out to be right, while you were wrong.You are implying that the one person should be discounted even as in your next sentence you paint yourself as reasonable, as someone who will change their opinion given valid arguments, when you only changed your stance after it became obvious that you were wrong and not because of the arguments that were made.
>>30249843http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtlBo8vfwGoIf he is like that, then I count us lucky. Shizuo is one hell of a guy. Truly a good person plagued by a temper we can't hope to comprehend. Violence personified, yet wishes to only be a being of peace. I feel for the man.
>>30250149Right how? They took offense to a perceived insult that wasn't even meant to be an insult. While it wasn't a joke and most certainly a threat, that wasn't the initial issue. It turned into a debate because the word "joke" was dropped. The only thing I ever mentioned was that everyone got offended. I think you're misunderstanding what my stance is here.Is there any particular reason why you have to be so confrontational?
>>30250798Every single one of your posts is offensive and reeks of pandering. Take on a trip so that you can be filtered out.
>>30250879Woah woah woah, lay off the hate man. Let's be civil here. No need to rage against the machine and all. It ain't like he hate you and yours in particular.
>>30250879I could return the sentiment back to you, since you've done nothing but attack others and make insulting assumptions.
>>30249360The thing about that is that he had NO reason to do that. It would be like if he noticed that Siegfried was single and since he was a possible rival decided to threaten him with his statement. It makes him seem irrational is all.>>30249434Once again doing such a thing without proper reason makes you look like a overly jealous fool. Our interactions with the slime hadn't even looked anything like showing interest. Women have actually left their romantic partners for this kind of behavior.
