"Someone is trying to communicate with you. A demon lord." Ja'al states, walking across the room. Tou is sleeping in his bed, curled into a ball with his tail around him. "In simple terms, they're trying to warn us about something. But..." he retrieves a set of tools, lining them up. "Given what you've seen, we can't really worry about it, yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone has to summon demons for them to be here." Ja'al states. "And you need to be a very good demonologist to summon anyone of import. These dreams of yours speak of Lords. Of 'lord-of-lords'." he says. "At that level, they've power on par with small gods - None but a God /could/ summon this hypothetical. And none of them would threaten their base with a demon." he says. "I'll research more and let you know. However..." he smiles. "I do have a small breakthrough. Annelin? Hold up your stump, please~"

You do so, and Ja'al fixes what appears to be an ornate gauntlet onto it.

In that order. We should after all make sure we've got proper control of it before we accidentally pimpslap Michael.

Isn't it genuinely regarded as a bad thing if a demonlord is haunting your dreams?

You try turning it, and it slowly rotates on the wrist joint. You try harder, and it spins in place, making you blink.

"The attatchments aren't loaded presently, and won't be until you have solid control." Ja'al states as you slowly clench your fingers, picking up a pencil. It shatters in your hand with ease. "I would not recommend shaking hands with it, either." he says quietly.

"Right. But uh... Aren't demon-lord-haunting-dreams... bad?"

"Not necessarily. There is an interesting book known as Demonic Discourse where the author has a long interview with a demon known as The Great Feaster, or Haru Umda. Then-Demon-Lord, and likely still is. It's where we have learned much of the demonic social structure."

"I see. So... Not all demons are evil?"

"Selfish yes, evil no." Ja'al says, looking around on his desk. "Many will not go out of their way to harm innocents, only those in their way. Some even warn people. A few that went rogue due to bad summoning actually went out of their way to return to the Hells."

"So for now at least, there's not much left to do but see if I get any more warnings?"

"Exactly." Ja'al says.

"How's it look?" you ask Micheal, who smiles.

"It suits you." he says, smiling at you, then Ja'al as you make it spin wildly.

"Should I hold off on practicing?"

"No, it won't crush metal." Ja'al says, "In fact, practicing would be a good idea to get used to the feel of it."

You nod. "And you'll want to oil it often. It is magical, but..."

"Will do." you say. You and Micheal head out, where Monica is waiting.

"Ah! A-annelin." she says, looking nervous, almost pained.

That's right... The whole demon thing. And withholding your mail.

"Monica! Good to see you doing well again! I'm glad that dark little business is resolved and wanted to thank you again for your help shopping last week. How have you been."

"...Good." she says, after a pause. "I... I'm really sorry about all that." she says softly, looking at her feet. "But I need to talk to either you or Micheal in private, if that's alright?"

>Talk to Mike.
>Talk to Me.
>>
>>30461293
>>30461728
What did she do to earn this level of ire, other than get possessed by a demon, which is hardly her fault?

Might as well see what she has to say before dumping it on Mike.

>Talk to Me.

>>30461828

>>
>>30461828
>Talk to /Me/.
If she comes onto us we need to first tell her that bi-sexuality is a natural after effect of Seducer demonic possession/influence and that it's nothing to be ashamed of. Also, we're straight and not interested. If she wants more information Ja'al is as close to an expert in demon stuff as we have access to, him being the main Mage around, but Karl could probably also give some good information. Lastly, if she really wants to experiment, she should talk to Ja'al and Gina to see how comfortable they are, since Gina seems open to...experimentation.
>>
>>30461828
>Talk to Me.

Saying that out of the blue would be by far the best thing to say.

"Talk to me." you say. Mike excuses himself, walking out of the room and earshot.

She looks uncomfortable. "Well?"

"...I've known Micheal for four years." she says softly. "And... I don't want us to not be friends because of this. I saw you two." she fidgets again. "And... I don't... I think his life and yours would be much easier if... you let him wed me." she says, with a heavy sigh. "I don't want you to take it the wrong way, I just..." she groans. "I can speak with a king, a prince, and my father just fine, but another woman and I go to pieces." she grumbles.

Seconded

>>30462124
seconding >>30462176

Also, I'm leaning heavily towards No, and thinking it might still be the seducer possesion playing with her
>>
>>30462222
I do wonder about that, I mean we were warned that the seducer would have an ongoing effect on her, making her more jealous even after it was gone.
>>
>>30462239
yep, we need to make that clear, and we can still be friends with her, but she ain't stealing our prince
>>
>>30462124
"Don't be afraid. Speak your mind."
>>
>>30462124
"Not everyone is interested in signing up for 'easy,' Monica. That said I'm not sure I'm interested in being marriage material, I have too much fun fighting and would rather stab myself in the eye than deal with administering a kingdom for any length of time."
>>
>>30462271
No, but in her mind we are stealing hers. Too bad she doesn't know how to catch Michael's interest.
>>
>>30462199
>>30462196
>>30462176
>>30462222

"...You'll have to explain."

"I just..." she sighs. "Annelin, you have to understand, I want the best for all of us. I don't want us to be enemies over this. I want to be friends with you, which is why... Which is why I think I should marry him." she says.

"Is this the Seducer talking?"

"N-no. I just mean... You aren't suited to being queen." she says. "Social functions, grand balls, dancing and fine dress. Manners and parties and diplomats. And... People might... make assumptions if you move from arena champion, to knight, to queen within a few months, or even a year. I'm only a noblewoman by birth, if I'd earned it as fast as you have, there'd be heavy suspicion, or worse. If he were to marry me, however, it would allow him easier access to the docks, a better navy, a stronger bond with the aristocracy, diplomatic relations with the Dra and other races on that country..."

She takes your hands. "Please. I... I love him, and I'm scared he's leaping into this from the loss of his mother. Please. Consider what I'm saying..."

>Writein

Admittedly, she has a point, at least as far as the strength of the kingdom goes. Ultimately, though, it should be his decision to make.
>>
>>30462394
Remove our hands from hers.

"I'll consider what you've said. Was there anything else?"
>>
>>30462394
"Thats not my call to make, thats Michael's"
>>
>>30462394
It's his decision. You want him, you gotta win his affections.
Make sure to use that magicy shit that makes our eyes glow for a split second when we say "Win"
>>
>>30462394
"Admitedly I'm not suited to being a stay at home queen. I'll think about it, but don't think that I'm not willing to ignore a few social conventions that I find...distasteful."
>>
>>30462394
"I... understand..."
>>
gentlemen, your thoughts on being a consort/mistress of the prince's while Monica marries him for a political marriage? we can still all be friends, get the benefits of the noble marriage, and still have a relationship with Mike
>>
>>30462496
I honestly don't mind the consort route
>>
>>30462454
Um no. We have him wrapped around our little finger. It's pretty much our call and so long as he understands the we wear the armor in this relationship I don't particularly care what we decide to do with him.
>>
>>30462496
I wonder, I still don't completely trust Monica, and I wouldn't put it past her to try and push us out completely once she's gotten what she wants.
>>
>>30462496
>Sharing
Ahahano
No.
>>
>>30462558
who says we'd be sharing, the marriage would just be a sham, for politics sake
>>
>>30462496
I like it so long as we are trapped into exclusively sleeping with him.
>>
>>30462577
You think she'd see it that way? She just said she loves him. I seriously doubt she'll actually be willing to share. She just wants to get herself into a position where she can get rid of us.
>>
Yeah, I don't think she'd be willing to accept that. She's probably after a full blown marriage, and that means exclusivity.
>>
>>30462590
>>30462577
Monica still needs to get knocked up with an heir to the throne.
>>
>>30462606
>>30462608
well why not ask her about it? see her views on the matter, if she does want him to herself, fuck that
>>
>>30462577
She loves him.

She thinks his affection for Annelin is a result of mother issues he's working through.

You honestly think she wants us to be any more to him than a guard? If that even.
>>
>>30462577
Marriages have to produce heirs. As I'd rather not take Annelin out of commission just to push out a royal brat or two I think this is a pretty good solution.
>>
>>30462608
Not for royalty.

"I really think you're getting ahead of yourself. I only just gave him permission to court me, and I am not so easily conquered.

Furthermore, considering Michael's succession duel with his father is only a few months away, preparing him for that is my highest priority right now."

Focusing on the duel for now seems like a good option. Would buy time to think on everything, anyway.

I think we need to discuss this with Karl or Ja'al, and question how much of this is likely to be lingering Seducer influence.

"I... I understand your sentiment. But you're incorrect." you find yourself saying. "This is Micheal's decision. Not mine. Not yours. You say you love him, but do you respect his ability to decide? If not between us, then on matters of state?"

"I..."

"If you love him, pursue him. If you respect him, don't rush behind his back." you say. "While your words have merit, they ring hollow without action."

"He's... dense."

"Hm?"

"He doesn't seem to notice any of my advances. I let him take me to his room almost nightly. And he spends it discussing matters of state and wages and trade agreements. I wish to be more forward, but..."

"But what?"

"But such actions are the acts of... harlots, and..."

>Writein
>>
>>30463323
Man, I don't really know how to tell her this, but I'm pretty sure Michael told us before that he's aware of her feelings for him, and just doesn't feel the same way about her.
>>
I don't think that being any more forward would help. It sounds like he's not dense, just...uninterested.
>>
>>30463323
"You said you've known him for what, four years? If you've felt this way for half as long as it sounds I think it's time to have a frank conversation like the strong young woman that you are. Just because you are a lady doesn't not mean you must be meek, besides, it's to your credit that you actually have a backbone, unlike some nobles I've had the displeasure of sharing company with."

"I can't speak for Michael, but are you sure he haven't noticed your advances? You could try talking openly about this with him."

You walk up to his door and listen.

"Please, just... give me a chance. Please."

"Monica, I never thought..."

"Please. I've tried to tell you this for years. I never had the strength until now."

"..." For a while, Micheal doesn't say anything. "Monica... I..."

Wait, he's actually listening?! "I feel I have to respect this." he says. "I thought you were too meek. I never thought you would actually approach me so fully." he continues, "Always, you seemed to be right behind your father. And now you've stepped out, and... Well."

"S-so... The day after tomorrow, there is an opera." she says. "In the evening. Shall... Shall we go?"

"...I don't see why not."

Yeah but that might just be because she's kind of a shitty person right now.

Learning how to suck less might make her more attractive.

As a side note, we should say we are aware of Michael's mommy issues, but we have no intention of taking advantage of it. We're into men, not boys, which works for us since we're helping Michael be the adult who's going to run this country.

This is why I voted for Teel. Full transparency there.

I'm hoping its this, but part of me is paranoid about the seducer, and Avalons hardon for NTR as a DRAMA device

we need to confront him, but not right now, we need get him to make his intention regarding monica very clear to us

Given that someone is also trying to stir shit about BPQ in the QTG, I think we may be dealing with a ruselord here

I had no part in neither of those desicions, but I honestly think Monica would be a better queen than Annelin.

You take a deep breath, and move to do Forms. You work through them steadily, with powerful motions. Your frustration adds to the power of your strikes, and you work harder than before to test your new hand. Your grip is better, but your motions more stiff. Defensively, you're slightly better, offensively, worse.

After a few hours, you finish, slumping into a chair, stopping only when you can barely stand. The soft burn of the workout leaves you pleased as you stare at the sky.

"My, you look ready to pass out." Rikard says, seating himself beside you. "Something had you fired up?" he asks.

"Life was a lot simpler when I was in the arena and had one night flings instead of actual romance, I'm not saying I was happier back then, but it was easier and I understood everything better.

It's nice to see you Rikard, what brings you to the castle?"

Well, when you come right down to it, Annelin is no more experienced at actual romantic attachment than Michael is.

You rise, Rikard watching you go. Marching through the halls, you reach Micheal, who waves.

"So when were you planning on telling me about your date with Monica?" you ask, feeling the anger in your tongue lash out.

"I... As soon as I was done with..."

"I overheard you talking to her. Do you need me to guard you for that date?"

"...That was in my room. You'd need to have your ear to the door for that." he says quietly. "Why were you listening at the door?"

"Well, in case..."

"In case what? In case she violently assaulted me?" he asks, "The small noblewoman, who admitted she was scared to talk to you on the matter, but wanted to remain your friend anyway?" he says, taking a step forward. You find yourself stepping back. "You don't seem to understand how imposing you are. Or how imposing you try to be. Why do you assume my intents or actions, Annelin? Do you think I'm yours because of a single kiss, because you allow me to court you?"

"I..."

"Listen to me." he says, a fire in his eyes. "I respect that you're worried about /us/. I can see you feel threatened about Monica and me, that you're scared she will 'win'. But let me make this clear - My feelings towards you haven't changed. I want to see if Monica really has changed, if she really will stand for her feelings. She's already shown herself to be mature in these matters. Pray you get another chance to do the same!"

"W-wait!" you manage, stepping after him. A hand grasps your good hand, pulling you back.

"No, let him go for now." Rikard says softly. "You've done enough damage, Annelin. Let it go."

"But... But I said..."

"Some very rude and incriminating things, yes." he says, releasing your hand. "Let us speak of this somewhere other than the main hall, yes?" he says, and all the serving people you never noticed earlier spring to focus.

"Oh Law." you manage.

"Yes, that just about shuts out the chance of silencing the rumour mill." Rikard says, touching his forehead. "With me, please."

You walk down to the training yard, and you both sit down. "So. Tell me what is going on? I have a rough idea - but I'd rather hear your side."

Unfortunately Annelin has been shown (not just by our actions, but by how Avalon portrays her) to not be all that great at dealing with her emotions.

Rikard sits across from you, thinking.
"The thing you must understand is that he's not making a choice beyond giving Monica a chance." he says. "He has not forgotten about you. He wants to be certain he's choosing the right person. You have to understand, he can't just think for himself. He has to consider the entire nation."

"I know, I just..."

He smiles.
"I understand. You like him and want him to like you back. You said something foolish, and now you feel horrid, and want to eat pastries, or perhaps a chilltreat."

You nod numbly.

I just don't see why she should get so worked up over one guy. He's a nice guy, sure, but we shouldn't be so torn up over this. Hell we pretty much told our apparent romantic rival 'go get him if you're hard enough' and then we freaked out because SHE TOOK OUR ADVICE AND IT IMPRESSED HIM.

That's better.

All I'm saying is that I want us to be the strong, independent musclegirl who don't need no man.

We'd LIKE to have a man, probably even WANT one. But we don't NEED one.
>>
>>30465847
Not happening. We're too into the D. The D is life.

We don't need one, but a good lay every once and a while is good for the soul.

>>30465755
You nod, and he takes your hand, leading you to the church. You admit it's very calming, and Freth leads you back to a small bedroom, as you sit heavily on the bed, laying back.

"Uhm." Freth says nervously, "Uhm. We have a bath, underground. If you would like? It's hot and... it..." she flushes. "I was just... uhm. About to go myself. I thought... we could talk?"
>>
>>30465954
We have a spear. It's not that hard.
>>
>>30465847
Too fucking late for that. People seem intent on playing a bratty teenaged girl.

Sure, we haven't had a chance to talk to Freth yet.

Bath would probably be good. Need to relax after all of everything.

>>
>>30466071
>relegate it to a single outburst
What a cop out. I say embrace it.
>>
>>30466109
Not really. It was an incredibly out of character outburst, in fact.

You just want to fling shit don't you, anon-kun?
>>
>>30466109
Actually, it makes her seem more broken/crazy than human. Still I agree that we have an ongoing irrational thing with Michael now.
>>
>>30466135
No, I want her to be a character.
>>
>>30466139
>>30466159
We haven't exactly been irrational with him until literally one fucking post. Hell, the whole point of heading to the church is to work through it instead of being locked into a one-dimensional archetype.
>>
>>30466207
>Assuming /tg/ can do more than one dimension in its characters.
>>
>>30466207
Mo, the point of heading to the church was running away and cooling our head while Michael and Monica have to deal with the fallout of our outburst.
>>
"That sounds lovely." you say, rising. She guides you downstairs, into the basement, then into a changing room. She undresses, revealing her body to be quite slim, almost frightfully so, and very pale, with soft-looking skin. You join her, taking a soft cloth with you to cover yourself as she does, and leads you into a large cave.

You both enter the hot waters, and you feel more calm and relaxed almost right away. Freth smiles, the first time you've seen her relaxed. She's endearing, in a way.

"So... Uhm." she starts. "Th-thank you. You brought him to me, didn't you?"

"Karl?"

"Y-yes."

"Oh... Yeah." you smile, looking up at the ceiling.

"He is very kind and gentle." she says softly. "I feel at ease with him. The nerves don't come as swiftly with him..."

>Writein
>>
>>30466207
Well hopefully we can act a bit more rationally after this.

I fear people just want Annelin to act crazy because they're pissed off and want to sabotage things.
>>
>>30466207
What? I think direction of the plot is up to Avalon, not an anon. Plus, I thought it was to chill out and not to escape some horrible archetype.
>>
Express pleasure that it's working out for those two. Maybe Karl wasn't the one for you, but it's still good that he's found something that seems to be working out for all involved.
>>
>>30466259
I actually just like less reasonable characters as a rule. People who let logic and levelheadedness guide their emotions and actions aren't as interesting to me.
>>
>>30466259
I honestly think some people are just going all yandere or whatever because they want to sabotage the quest. It kinda flies in the face of everything we've done until now.
>>30466261
>I thought it was to chill out
Exactly, to chill out and cool down instead of acting like a high strung, possessive cunt some more.
>>
>>30466258
"I'm glad, Karl is a good man, and I think he'll do well with someone like you there to look out for him."
>>
>>30466258
"I'm glad to hear that. He doesn't show it, but he is very lonely."
>>
>>30466298
I think you're being paranoid. I just think this direction is more interesting, myself. It feels fun and is more interesting.
>>
>>30466258
"I'm happy for you, he's been lonely for a long time and I'm glad he found someone like you.

You know, this might be the first time I've seen you truly relaxed. Are the nerves that bad?"
>>
>>30466298
This isn't particularly possessive or high strung. I would describe this as very normal, very typical behavior.
>>
>>30466258
We seem to be better at other peoples relationships.

Let's play with her a bit to get our mind off of things. Get her flustered.

"Good to hear, he needs to get laid something fierce."

"Speaking of which, he's packing some serious armament let me tell you."
>>
>>30466259
No Anon. Let me explain, I want to sabotage things with Michael, but I voted against eavesdropping and against confronting him like a jealous crazy woman because I want to play someone with honor and with more self respect than that. I have no idea why people voted the way they did in that seen, but I assume it's because they want to play Annelin and yandere for Mike. Or they don't understand how people interact with each other. But don't blame us few that don't like Michael for that shit show.
>>
>>30466324
>I think you're being paranoid.
He's really not. That colossal fuckup will be a pain to work out and will never really make sense.
>>
>>30466354
>confronting him like a jealous crazy woman
It's not jealous crazy. It's normal.

It really isn't.

This seems amusing enough. I change my vote to this.

>>30466374
Um, no. The way we handled it wasn't normal.

Let's not scare the poor girl off, she doesn't seem like the sort who'd appreciate that.

>>
>>30466385
>>30466409

My experience tells me it is, in fact, very normal. It isn't like she tied him up and interrogated him in the basement or something. People do exactly what she did a lot.
>>
>>30466374
>It's normal.

You're either in an abusive relationship and suffering from some Stockholm Syndrome, or you are a crazy person.
>>
Oh great, is this the start of a whole new part of the quest where people vote to have Annelin act like a psycho while screaming "It's in character!"
>>
>>30466431
>>30466422

She eavesdropped and got a little snappy. That's it. So fucking crazy.
>>
>>30466259
Don't be fooled, this is the QM trying to milk some cheap drama, you'll note that he rushed the voting process, ignored all the people pointing out what an obvious setup it was, and in short deploying a fucking football knowing a bunch of the players would try to kick it.

I especially like how he made us too stupid to take Michael somewhere private, and now everyone knows what a weak hypocritical bitch we are, and we'll need to burn through all our good will to avoid being fired.

In short, fuck you Ego. Guess it really was only a matter of time before you fucked up and tried to be deep or reach tg a lesson or some garbage.

"Well. I'm happy to see you so relaxed and to hear you're doing so well."

"Th-thank you."

"Are the nerves usually that bad?"

"Before I... Before he found me, I... I did not consider my self to be worth space or life." she says quietly. "Rikard lead me to Raev, who showed me how I could make the world a better p-place."

You find yourself smiling.
"Good. Karl needed a good lay."

She jumps, gasping and stammering cutely as her face reddens deeply. "It's a joke, sorry."

"I-it is fine." she says with a little smile as you hear motion in the other changing room. "Wait. This is a shared bath?"

She nods.
"R-rikard is probably coming to j-join us."

No, people just didn't tell you they did that. They totally did, and you probably have yourself. It's a thing people do to the point where stories mock how insecure the average person is by making it a recurring scenario.

>>30466484
Yes.

>>30466475

More important than Rikard showing up. Ask if it's okay for us to inquire about that.

>>30466475
No need to make it weird unless they start to make it weird. Just relax and politely excuse yourself if they start praising Raev together or something.

>>
>>30466561
Man, most people do not sit down, take deep breaths, and work out their problems. They don't do it because it's a skill that must be taught, it doesn't come naturally.
>>
>>30466552
Or we could just kill her. It be much easier in the long run then trying to be little miss boring.
>>
>>30466533
Hey! We're a worshipper of Raev ourselves. We even pray properly when we can.
Besides, don't they need to be the same sex to praise Raev together?
>>
>>30466576
Nah, we just need to train a flaw into Michael's technique, so he loses his duel with his father, then without a prince to guard we can go back to the arena.
>>
>>30466552
Look, all I'm saying is that it was fun and interesting.
>>
>>30466475
Cool, incoming eyecandy for Annelin. We might even get a massage.

"It reminds me a bit of my arena days, a good number of the people I fought didn't even know I was a woman until I was in the shared baths.

And you're not worthless Freth, you're just a bit shy."
>>
>>30466574
Yeah, I was talking more about the constant invasion of privacy. Not kosher. You want to be constantly confrontational? Well you're welcome to wreck your personal life. But listening at doors and that level of...I don't even have a word...yeah, that's not cool.

You remain in the bath, raising a brow.
"Huh. Well, we had shared baths in the Arena."

"You must have... seen many things."

"Oh, you'd not believe." you find yourself giggling as Rikard enters.

While Micheal is slim and toned, and Karl is strong, Rikard is... pretty. Smooth and slim and slender, feminine in a way that is nonetheless appealing. A towel remains around his waist, and he slides into the bath.
"Ladies. How are you feeling, Annelin?

"I'm glad. Feeling better about the whole mess?"

"I want to cry and eat something sweet and fattening."

He laughs, leaning back.
"Everyone makes a mistake now and then. Just admit to Micheal that you did wrong and the like, and everything should be sorted. In the meantime, I've some cake upstairs."

"Really?"

"But I feel bad just giving it away. Perhaps... You shall eat it in that towel?"

You blink, and he laughs. "A joke, a joke. We are called 'The Unadorned' for when we ran services unclad."

>Ah, I see.

You laugh.
"I think I'll pay for the cake, thanks."

He nods.
"Do take care." he says as you get up out of the bath. "I think Micheal is just as pained as you. Remember, no matter who he decides upon, he is losing someone he cares about in some way. And Monica, too - she's being forced between a love and a new friend." he smiles. "Love is war. Everyone loses someone important."

You step away from the bath, cleaning your armor and putting on the padding as you take a single slice of cake. You don't normally indulge, but you feel pleased as the texture and the taste let your mind slip away from your own failure. Soon enough, you slip away into sleep.

We have dem tits and fat ass, if they can't handle dees abs then they are too weak to handle us anyway.

>>
>>30467062
Nah, you just need to eat a lot of it. The muscles are still there, they're just not cut. They'll have a touchable, soft, spongy layer of delicious fat. Not too much, but enough to make every spot great to feel.

The body you're in walks towards a mirror.

Ah, Monica. She's in a pretty nightgown, smiling at her full figure as she looks through various dresses. /She sounded so angry... I suppose she really wants him. Well.../

She looks over the three dresses, in white, red, or green. The red is lower cut, but the cleavage on the green is covered in flowery lace. The white is conservative. /We'll decide with this opera. I'm sorry, Annelin. I hope this all works out.../

===END OF THREAD===

Thanks for playing, guys! That was quite a session.

Wasn't my decision to eavesdrop or confront Mike, those are on you. I just hate any character ipundermineing the self because "tru wuv". It disappoints me and I find it endlessly unappealing.
>>
>>30467175
fuck off already

>A real friend... It would be nice. One without pretense.

well good work destroying those hopes monica...

>>30467191
Thanks for running

Eh, anyone can see Annelin won't win if Michael is thinking about the future of the kingdom.
>>
>>30467096
While I would prefer to keep Annelin fit and with dem abs, a good number of gladiators back in the day would intentionally build up a layer of fat, it shielded nerves and blood vessels, and meant you could have more dramatic fights since the fighters could take some shallow cuts without serious risk.

>>30467191
Honestly, Mistress solution is looking practical. We both love Micheal, we want to be with him and protect him, we don't want to deal with the Queen bullshit, and we could both use a good friend. And it means that Micheal doesn't have to pick between the good of the Kingdom and us.
>>
>>30467191
well that was a rollercoaster that nearly gave me a anxiety attack when I had to run some errands

if monica win,s I'm going to burn your house down Avalon

Cakebros forever.
>>
>>30467191
Good for you Monica. You go girl!
>>
>>30467191
I really hope Monica and Annelin can be friends. It would be nice.
>>
>>30467191
Thanks for the thread, I hope you're willing to ride the shitstorm when Michael and Monica get together after we cut out all the other love interests.

It's going to be Psion Quest 2: NTR Boogaloo

Fucking this, when we've got our shit together, and apologize in the morning, we should talk about the consort idea, no reason why we can't be friends with Monica and have Mike, thinking otherwise got us into this mess
>>
So when Michael and Monica get together, can we murder them both at the wedding?
>>
>>30467248
No, it's all or nothing now. The gauntlet has been thrown. Mike is ours.
>>
>>30467191
Thanks for running.

Any idea when the next session will be?
>>
>>30467222
Michael might not be okay with it, though. Holy shit, I just realized something
>young, kinda scrawny guy
>idealistic and full of JUSTICE
>has all sorts of women trying to get up on his dick
>might be getting harem end
Micheal is a /tg/ quest protag
>>
>>30467235
what other love interests? Mikes all we've got, and if Mike and Annelin don't get together (regardless of whether Annelin is consort or queen) then the quest will pretty much be dead and even if its not, the MC will be dead and so will most player motivation and drive
>>
>>30467273
Well, I think what's bothering a lot of people is that we turned down Teel and Karl because people liked Mike, and he's promptly going to run off with his childhood friend or whatever.
>>
Calling it now: The people acting confrontational and warlike are the ones who will cost us any relationship whatsoever.
>>
>>30467265
Mike is totally not okay with it. He will be loyal to his wife, even if he likes her less.
>>
>>30467260
for fucks sake, its retards like you who got us into this mess

we need to apologize to Mike, then we need to get Annelin, Mike and Monica into a soundproofed room, and discuss the consort idea, its the fucking best result, we all remain friends, Mike gets a queen that can help the nation, and we get in a legitimate and legal romantic relationship with Mike
>>
>>30467235
How is it NTR if we haven't begun courting him and we haven't slept with him?
>>
>>30467153
Oh great, just really shoving it in that Monica really is that nice, and we're a pathetic cunt.

Fuck ypu.
>>
>>30467297
Michael won't go for it. He's made it clear that he's going to pick his favorite. He won't be interested in the other one.
>>
>>30467297
Consort isn't happening. Mike is not cool with that sort of shit. He's really idealistic like that.
>>
>>30467283
exactly, we need to enact Operation Consort, as soon as we apologize, we tell him we've been thinking about it, whats best for us, Monica, Mike and the nation, and we think it could work
>>
>>30467283
What was Micheal supposed to do?

Just outright reject her feelings without even giving her a chance? He's a rather noble guy, he was going to at least hear her out.

>>30467313
>>30467316
I guess we'll have to talk him into it.
>>
>>30467289
I voted for confronting Michael, but I also voted twice for training before that.
I also voted for giving Karl a chance and being consort to Teel
>>
>>30467308
yeah, kind of petty for a 91 on the dice

>>30467313
>>30467316
we've not even talked to him about the idea, we've not even said anything about it to ANY character
>>
>>30467326
He's not going to change his mind because it's something that's part of his personality. It goes against who he is.

If we want Mike, we have to fight for him and win.
>>
>>30467326
>He's a rather noble guy, he was going to at least hear her out.
And now because of the retards, and Avalons hardon for DRAMA and NTR, he's going to fuck us over with it, fuck me, this quest just gets more and more depressing and less and less fun
>>
>>30467308
>>30467347
Monica has always been nice and kind to us when not possessed. I get the feeling she's a noblegirl who hasn't had real friends, and Annelin is the only one that comes close. This love triangle is hurting her inside, just as it's hurting Micheal.

The real theme of BPQ is Love is War, Everyone Loses Someone.
>>
>>30467323
>>30467326
What would be best for Mike would be a new bodyguard without the baggage attached. Perhaps we should talk to him about terminating our employment after his duel.
>>
>>30467347
He's already said he's going to go with his favorite, period. If Monica wins him over, that's it for us.
>>
>>30467376
>Monica has always been nice and kind to us when not possessed.
I thought she was withholding our mail before the possession.
>>
>>30467367
Remember when we were Michael's bodyguard?

I don't.
>>
>>30467367
Get out if you don't want drama and cake.
>>
>>30467388
and of course she will win because EGO loves NTR and has said he wants to use it for drama

fuck this, just less and less fun
>>
>>30467354
He's not an unreasonable person. The last time people were worrying about him doing something stupid and noble they were wrong about that as well. We haven't even mentioned the idea.

Him marrying Monica is far better for the kingdom than marrying us, and we still get to be his bodyguard and romance him.

>>30467367
The last time people were bitching and crying about NTR it didn't happen, don't get so worked up about things that haven't even happened.
>>
>>30467410
You mean like pretty much every single thread before we got our hand cut off? I'm fine with the SOL bits, myself, especially since it looks like action will be kicked into overdrive once they end.
>>
>All these people threatening to drop or saying they have
>The twitter has the exact same number of followers

>>30467410
Four threads ago.
>>
>>30467440
We're not going to get to have our cake (hah) and eat it too. He's going to go with one girl, no matter who that is, and he'll be loyal to her because he's a good man.
>>
>>30467442
Provided the SOL doesn't destroy the quest first. Which judging by today it might well do.
>>
>>30467445
you do realise most people following quests twitters just bookmark them...

thats like trying to gauge the playerbase of a qeust by sup/tg/ votes
>>
>>30467440
>The last time people were bitching and crying about NTR it didn't happen, don't get so worked up about things that haven't even happened.

Turns out he was saving it up for this

You have trouble learning don't you Ego?
>>
>>30467440
>He's not an unreasonable person.
It's a request that goes against how he's been established. He could totally have a bunch of women, but he doesn't because that's not who he is.
>>
I think my only issue with this is that apparently their date tomorrow decides everything, and Annelin's one moment of acting like a bitch is probably going to sabotage 20 threads of the relationship between Annelin and Michael being built up.
>>
>>30467486
Brace yourself for it. We're going to have to meddle with that date like crazy.
>>
>>30467273
The QM said he's not planning on ending it anytime soon, though I guess he's a fucking liar who's torpedoing his own quest by baiting the worst players.

Right now you're worse than Archelon
>>
>>30467486
yep, seems the QTG may have been right about the NTR

>>30467479
we don't know how he'd react to it because we haven't asked him about it
>>
>>30467502
>doing the one possible thing to make him hate us more
Haha, nope.
>>
Can we at least try to have Annelin act mature tomorrow.

That way at least if we lose we will know it's all on account of Avalon's bullshit.
>>
>>30467539
It's that or lose by default.
>>
>>30467486
>>30467513
>>30467518
sigh, and this quest was getting good, now its just less and less fun each thread dealing with this DRAMA shit

>all this talk of NTR
>all this talk of losing Mike
>all this defeatism

Well, that was definitely not intended.

Don't worry. I definitely don't plan on NTR. I've been in that quest, I would not inflict that upon you. We've only just begun this, friends. Do not assume the destination is dark because the path is muddied.

That being said, success is not gaurenteed either.

Please don't assume the end of things so quickly! It really takes the air out of the sails for both me and you.
>>
>>30467566
Remember when we were trying to avoid his advances? Before he wore us down? We were too easy. Now that we've publicly shown that we want him he's going to lose interest.
>>
>>30467502
We're still going to the arena with him before that, we have time beforehand to talk with him.
>>
>>30467566
well its going to be lose by default regardless of what we do, we meddle, and we lose because we're trying to be assertive and win, we be mature and don't meddle, and we lose because the QM loves using NTR for LOLRANDUMBRAMA

lose lose

>ntrbat each
fuck me, even capcha agrees...
>>
>>30467598
You should've seen this coming.

/tg/ always acts the same way when confronted with obstacles in romance.

It's because /tg/ is full of people who always lose irl.
>>
>>30467599
You mean the time we spent heavily flirting with him and teasing him when we got a chance?
>>
>>30467598
>There's still a chance to fix things with Teel
Oh thank god. You really had me worried there OP.
>>
>>30467619
Yes. That kept him interested and his attention on us. True we couldn't string him along forever without offering a little more than banter and beatings, but we caved too soon.
>>
>>30467598
Next thread is going to be a shitstorm without pause. I hope you're prepared for /tg/ to completely torpedo everything we've worked for in a fit of autismal rage that everything isn't going their way.
>>
>>30467656
>but we caved too soon.
...

we didn't 'cave' and we didn't do it too soon, if we did 'cave' any later, we wouldnt even be competing for him, we'd be a homeless wandering drunkard warrior, looking for one last great fight to end all the misery

who am I kidding, with the way people are acting and playing, this is likely the outcome of the next thread

>>30467513
>>30467518
>>30467478

>>30467410

You know that guy who bitches and moans that everything is over whenever he rolls a 1 or a 100? That can't accept that sometimes it's possible to make legitimate, well-meaning mistakes and will scream and crow about how terrible his GM is before his character even dies, because "Awwwwr it's all over anywaaaaay"?

That's fucking you.
>>
>>30467729
The difference is this guy is intentionally doing it to rouse melodrama.
>>
>>30467757
Both do it in an attempt to get things changed.
>>
>>30467729
That's most of /tg/.

I only hope we can stop it from fucking everything up next thread and ruining everything for Annelin.
>>
>>30467694
We are all of those things except getting fat instead of drunk. Also, why would we just go back to the Arena or join the Church of Raev as a paladin?
>>
>>30467821
>Fuck up our chance for love by being a spiteful bitch
>Go join the Church of Raev

I doubt they'd want us.
>>
>>30467821
>>30467837
it was all a ploy by Clown and Coyo to drive us into Raev's arms to get their sister goddess to finally realise her true feelings for us
>>
>>30467837
Oh? I think that's probably a good part of how they recruit.
>>
>>30467729
Well meaning mistakes?

That's not what happened here.

What happened was a blatantly obvious chain of events that /tg/ triggered out of a combination of stupidity and spite, and now everything is shit.

Seriously, confronting Michael was just SUCH an obviously shit move that you have no fucking excuse for picking it, nor does the QM for posting it, unless he wanted this bullshit.
>>
>>30467598
Fuck you and your cheap drama.
>>
>>30467959
>and now everything is shit.

Not really. We still can apologize. We still have our own date. There's still the consort option. As the QM himself stated: Don't assume the destination is dark for a muddy road.
>>
>>30467618
It's really not that.

It's more that there were a lot of people who saw this coming, but were outvoted by dumbasses and people who like to stir shit for fun.

And it feels like the QM rushed things to make sure we'd spring the obvious trap, and have to spend a bunch of threads cleaning up after it.

The idea of obstacles is fine, like I don't have a problem with Monica expressing interest in Michael. I'm more annoyed by how EGO baited the players into going full retard.
>>
>>30468082
The consort option would only be an option if the marriage was purely political and neither side was into each other.

Since that's not the case, not only is Monica not inclined to share, she probably wants us out of the picture ASAP.
>>
>>30468130
You're making a lot of assumptions about Monica considering how little we know about her.
>>
>>30468130
>not only is Monica not inclined to share
She was the one who brought it up.
>>
>>30468110
Well, I think not everyone really knew what they were voting for all the time either, or it was interpreted in a bad way.

I voted to listen in on the conversation, but I did that because I was under the impression that Monica was still suffering the aftereffects of the Seducer and might start trying to lie and manipulate Michael.

I also specifically asked that if we were going to talk to Michael about listening in that we do so in a less confrontational way, and until he exploded at us, I had no idea that "listen in" meant "jam your head up against the door like an asshole".

I feel like I made a lot of bad votes in this thread because I didn't really get what was going on fully, or because what I did post was interpreted differently than I thought it would be.
>>
>>30468159
No she didn't. She brought up us giving up and giving Michael to her for the good of the kingdom.
>>
>>30468191
...

thats her bringing up not sharing with us...
>>
>>30468191
You're right, I got that mixed up. My bad.
>>
>>30468159
No, she didn't.
>>
>>30468165
Listening in was fine.

Bitching out Michael about it in a truly stunning display of hypocrisy wasn't.

And ignorance isn't really an excuse either, since I, as well as several players, were trying to point out how moronic confronting Michael was.

But EGO didn't care because he needed cheap drama.
>>
>>30468217
see >>30468213
>>
>>30468218
Oh by the time I said "let's do this without getting aggressive" it was already obvious that confronting him had won.

I just didn't realize we were going to go about it in the worst possible way.
>>
>>30468191
>>30468159
>She was the one who brought it up.
>No she didn't. She brought up us giving up

wat, I am seriously confused
>>
>>30468218
That was a big case of mixed communication between players and QM too. I voted for talking to Mike about his date with Monica because I wanted us to talk about it like adults, not shout like idiots.
>>
>>30468248
see >>30468236
>>
>>30468257
not helping...
>>
>>30468253
Gotta use the write in.
>>
>>30468253
There were a lot of stupid people/trolls who wanted us to shout like idiots.

Unfortunately EGO clumped in the people who wanted to try to talk like normal people, and just ignored the people who were pretty much trying to vetoing being assholes.

Because he's a shit.
>>
>>30468253
>>30468218
>>30468242
yep, misunderstood by the players and poorly handled and implemented by the QM
>>
>>30468290
That was his plan all along because things were going too smoothly so he needed to trick /tg/ into sabotaging themselves.
>>
>>30468277
it was all write in, I just assumed "ask Michael about his feelings for Monica and admit we listened in just in case of Seducer bullshit" did not equal "sudden PMS on all sides"
>>
>>30468303
that and his need for LOLDRAMA are getting really fucking tiring
>>
>>30468218
As much as I dislike it the votes were for it, and there was a lot of player bitching about it, I was against it the entire time, but we were outvoted when it came to not talking to Rikard first, and even claiming that confronting him was a good idea.

Granted, he really should've done a secure vote for that one, but we can't really pile all the blame on the QM when the players literally wrote the dialogue used.
>>
>>30468309
Hmm, did he link you or we're you outvoted by the stupid?
>>
>>30468332
yeah, there should have been several more FINAL DESTINATION votes and clarifications of intent throughout that trainwreck
>>
>>30464647
>>30464660
>>30464672
>>30464698
>>30464700
These were the votes he took.

>>30464768
>>30464761
>>30464733
These were the votes saying "Be reasonable!"

Note how the QM dropped we were upset:

>>30464624
>Marching through the halls

>>30464421
>"I sometimes miss my relationships from the Arena. One night flings were so much easier to deal with..."

>>30464231
>You work through them steadily, with powerful motions. Your frustration adds to the power of your strikes
>After a few hours, you finish, slumping into a chair, stopping only when you can barely stand.

Three times previous.

We should have avoided Micheal until later, when we were calm.
>>
>>30468332
I kind of can, because he knows damn well that this is a subject /tg/ tends to be especially irrational about, especially if he makes sure they don't have time to stop being stupid.
>>
>>30468309
I want to know why Avalon ever included the "Seducer possesses Monica" thing if all it was going to amount to was a few stolen letters.
>>
>>30468391
>These were the votes he took.
he should have blended them into one consensus instead of bombarding Mike with each one , which just made things worse
>>
>>30468391
I tried to get us to talk to Rikard first, I seriously did.

But people insisted on rushing to the Prince to interrogate him about stuff.
>>
>>30467598
OP, would you mind changing the opening post image? It seems disrespectful to Teel to keep using the old one. Inaccurate to.
>>
>>30468416
because he wanted to use NTR for LOLDRAMA, he has said it before, and despite his assurances to the contrary, here it is in almost full swing

people told him it would kill the quest, he said he wouldnt do it, now he has asspulled it, and its going to kill the quest
>>
>>30468391
and at least a couple of the ones he took were reasonable, especially the last one
>>
>>30468422
You missed the second half.

This isn't a blind puppet we're running, it's Annelin, who was rather clearly upset.

Gee, going to ask someone about the thing you're upset about while upset makes you look like you're upset!
>>
>>30468416
>>30468451
It was kind of bizarre, and does make me think he copped out of an earlier plan when he decided it wouldn't work out.

It literally was "Monica is possessed by the Seducer, we have to hurry and do something!"

"Oh wait, never mind, it got sorted out while you were unconscious."
>>
>>30468416
>>30468451
I mean, when it got outed after he said he wanted to use NTR for drama and stiring the pot, people exploded in his face about it and predicted Monica would do it, and he swore back and forth that wouldnt happen...

Well look where we are now.
>>
>>30468416
There were multiple ways to deal with the Seducer situation, in some of them we probably would've dealt with that more, we ended up breaking Douglas's jaw and having a pile of guards stab him.

Some of the ways could've involved more diplomatic methods, or interacting with Monica while she was influenced.
>>
>NTRNTRNTRNTRNTRNTRNTR

ONLY HAPPENS IN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS YOU STUPID FUCKS

WE AREN'T MARRIED, WE AREN'T A COUPLE, WE ARE ONLY BARELY DATING HIM

FOR FUCK'S SAKE
>>
>>30468416
Because it explained that Monica wasn't responsible for stealing those so she's still not a horrible person, and it served to show that Teel actually had some level romantic attachment to us instead of just throwing us to the wayside when he left.

Basically it was a ploy to soften player stances toward Teel while making Monica a sympathetic victim instead of a bad guy.
>>
>>30468501
We didn't even know Monica was influenced until we returned from our mission though.

By which time it had left her.
>>
well, it looks like next thread will be make or break, and either the quest will live, or EGO will have killed another

I'm hoping he pulls it together and we make it through somehow and the quest lives, but I don't have high hopes, after all of Ego's improvements since shutting up and focusing on questing, things were looking good, but this has pretty much trashed that progress
>>
>>30468518
Actually, we just agreed to date him, we haven't even started yet.
>>
>>30468561
the waterfall scene was a date
>>
>>30468556
Actually, EGO's never had a quest fundamentally die. He's always peace'd out.

He has stated he will run this as hard as he can.
>>
>>30468585
he's had many a quest buried out back

>He has stated he will run this as hard as he can.
into the ground maybe
>>
>>30468451
It's rather hypocritical to bitch at Micheal for taking a girl to the opera after what we've done, we aren't even in a fucking relationship with him and you are already trying to control him. We said he could court us, and there was a kiss, that does not mean we're in a relationship.

Did he bitch up a storm when we went on a date with Karl or fucked Teel?

>>30468556
I'm likely to hold the players responsible if it happens. They have all the information they need to not fuck it up, they might just make the exact wrong choices.
>>
>>30468556
As much as I would like him to explain this bullshit, it's probably a good thing he's staying out of this thread.
>>
>>30468617
>I'm likely to hold the players responsible if it happens. They have all the information they need to not fuck it up, they might just make the exact wrong choices.

Hopefully Avalon will leave the next thread a few days so people have time to calm down.

>>30468641
He's made his statement and has left.
>>
>>30468641
probably, I hope he runs that other oneshot quest to let people calm down so cooler heads can prevail and we can utterly crush Monica in the duel for the prince D, but still be totally girlfriends afterwards
>>
>>30468584
Really? I thought that was just hanging our and the Arena was our first date. My bad.
>>
>>30468671
Funny you should say that.
>>

But the prince isn't a Dra, that means he has a lower case 'd'.
>>
>>30468689
why?
>>
>>30468671
what we need to do is convince her that Mike can deal with social functions and we can be a demon murdering warrior queen
>>
>>30468617
He encouraged the players to make the wrong choices, and twisted what people wrote to guarantee that outcome.

We're agreeing with you that Annelin has no right to be controlling, and we're not complaining about Monica displaying romantic interest.

We're complaining about Ego rushing through making the player be a huge bitch.
