>They take out the leader in the raceTwo weeks after your daring rescue, your mending is done, and Donna is back to full strength and then some. You find yourselves in a town to due east of the city wherein you found Donna. At the request of the ladies, you have agreed to take the long journey around the Red Sea to return home, expending the gold Riley gave you along the way. Donna seems to be treating it as a vacation, an excuse to get drunk at random pubs while you babysit Pearl. On this particular day, you wake to the sound of heavy banging on the door of your hotel room. Pearl is curled up on the dining room table with a bottle of syrup, and Donna is no doubt sleeping off last night's festivities. The banging grows louder as you stir, rolling over on the couch and placing your bare feet on the floor. "Sir! You need to answer this door, immediately! Sir!"A) IgnoreB) Go overC) Other
>>30761190>B) Go over>C) Be sure we've got our rifle
>>30761190Also, hi Mr. Rags!
>>30761459You get up and wipe your forehead. The banging continues, as does the irritating voice of the person behind it. You scan the room for your rifle, but it doesn't seem to be within sight. You check around the couch, the table, and the kitchen. Donna wouldn't have taken it, and Pearl doesn't have it. The banging worsens. "Sir! If you don't open this door we're going to be forced to get the police involved!"A) AnswerB) Wake PearlC) Other
>>30761721>C) "I'm Coming, I'm coming">B) Shake Pearl then>A) Open the door
>>30761797You approach Pearl and place a heavy hand on her ribs, then shake her until she wakes. She rolls over on the table, letting the syrup fall as she rubs her eyes."What's going on?" You explain the situation with the door. She points you at the icebox. Sure enough, you open it and find your rifle wedged between a bottle of cheap beer and half a cake. You pull it out and load a shell into the chamber. You then approach and open the door.Something heavy impacts with your face, hitting you just above the bridge of your nose and driving you backward and into the coffee table. The glass surface shatters as you fall onto it, but thankfully it is constructed to prevent sharp shards from forming. When you look up, through spotty and starry vision, you see a large man in a tanktop and suspenders falling upon you.A) ShootB) Roll backwardC) Kick
>>30762004>B) Roll backward>C) Kick when he's down
>>30762070Not literally falling
>>30762265Yeah but he's lowering his body right?If his head/torso is down from the normal position it becomes easier to knee or kick it
>>30762314>>30762070You somersault backward just in time to avoid being smashed in the face a second time. All in the span of two seconds, you rise to your feet, realize your rifle is not within your reach, and notice that your attacker is armed with some sort of crude fist weapon. It resembles an iron shell covering his hand. As he tries to bring his tremendous body back to standing position, you lift your leg and stomp on his neck in an attempt to buy time. In the corner of your eye you spot a second invader making his way toward Pearl, who, in her drowsy state, seems unaware of what's going on.A) Leave Pearl to herselfB) Try to make it to help PearlC) Other
>>30762570>B) Try to make it to help PearlArm blade time
>>30762588You bound over the large man to get across the room, but as you land you are pulled by by the waist of your pants. He's grabbed you and yanks you backward, costing you your balance. You try to resist, but suddenly you feel his armored hand weave between your legs and hook around your thigh. You are lifted up into the air, then turned over in mid-air and slammed down on your back. You head bounces off of the carpeted floor. As he pulls you back up by your collar, you hear Pearl shouting something, but it is dulled by the throbbing in your head. The large man now pulls you toward the window, planning who knows what when you arrive.A) FistB) BladeC) Other
>>30762914>B) BladeMorning Rags.
>>30762914>B) Blade
>>30762957>>30762914Afternoon everyone.>>30762914>B) Blade
>>30762957>>30762958With a snap of your left wrist, a spring loaded blade is readied for your use. You swing it up at your handler, barely scraping his right eye. He lets out a powerful scream of pain and shove you forward into the tall window. You feel the glass crack under your weight, and for a split second you approach pants soiling terror as you peer down at the concrete ten stories below. The glass holds, however, and you recover from the push. You spin around and see the large man coming at you again, blinded in one eye and seething with rage. A) WindowB) BladeC) Throw
>>30763145>A) Window
>>30762957>>30762958>>30763067>>307631054 players at once? Is it my birthday?
>>30763145A) Window
>>30763145>A) WindowTime for our trusty companion to do it's workall hail gravity>>30763205Wow, had been quite some time since I last saw you in one of these>>30763105Hey
>>30763324you're quite right.
>>30763105Morning Gewitter.>>30763324Shepard.
>>30763351Welcome back, Sarg.
So, any guesses as to which pursuer group it is today? The guys after Riley, the slavers, or somebody we bothered along the way?>>30763356Springhead
>>30763159>>30763205>>30763310As he lurches toward you, you recall to the surface the months of training you had during the war. Although his size and strength are more than formidable, his anger weakens his balance, and you are able to hurl him into the shattered window. Unfortunately, his grip is fine, and he drags you with him. You feel his weight pulling you forward, and suddenly you are both out in the cool morning air. You begin to fall.Thinking quickly, you use your blade and with one powerful swing, you cut his forearm deep, nicking the bone almost certainly. Blood sprays out, but his grip releases and you have just enough time to reach back and catch a ledge, leaving him to fall the remaining eight stories. You grab onto the ledge with both hands, and start pulling yourself up as quickly as possible.You make it back to the broken window in time to see Pearl being pressed against the wall, as the man accosting her, a tall and lean cut of meat with rolled sleeves and slacks, reaches into his back pocket and produces a knife. You make it up, but you need to move fast. Your rifle is just a few feet in the wrong direction, but there may not be time to aim and fire.A) Go for the rifleB) Rush the manC) Other
>>30763565>B) Rush the manFeels good to have more people to vote on this.
>>30763205>Sargeras
>>30763403Shepard.>>30763565Gotta go Rush
>>30763565>B) Rush the manNot gonna hurt Pearl on our watch!
>>30763632>>B) Rush the man:)
>>30763709'lo there!
>>30763597>>30763753>>30763791You get to your feet and clumsily run at the man. There is a loud bang, and you see a ball of flame streak by and take him in the back. You trip and fall to your knees as he is pressed up against Pearl, then falls onto his cooked back, lifeless. Your eyes dart to the right and you see Donna, rifle in hand, hair messed and still in her robe. Note that this one is of appropriate size and shape. The irritation in her eyes nearly cuts through the tension in the room."What the hell are you two getting up to this early?"A) "Morning."B) "Someone tried to throw me out a fucking window."C) "Do you know who those people were?"D) Other
>>30764052>A) "Morning."
>>30764052>A) "Morning.">D) "Home invaders, don't know why they came, hard to ask while fighting"
>>30764076>>30764128>>30764315"Shit. I wanted coffee, but now we have to get this taken care of. Are you alright, Pearl?"Pearl brushes herself off and responds in the affirmative, stepping on the dead man as she makes her way to the icebox to fetch a piece of cake. You get up and scratch your chin. The noise you made will have alerted someone, and if the wrong person sees this mess you can be sure the police will ask questions. A) Pack up and runB) Get dressed and grab your money, forget the souvenirsC) Other
>>30764494>A) Pack up and run
>>30764508>>30764555You tell Pearl and Donna to gather their things so that you can leave this place as soon as possible. Pearl puts down her cake and begins shoveling her rifle and ammo into her bag. You remember that she's still only got two magazines left, since you haven't seen anybody carrying similar guns in weeks, and you aren't even sure this rifle actually exists anywhere else. Donna changes into her normal clothes, a red leather jacket and jeans. The outfit is nearly identical to the one she wore aboard the ship, only now she conceals her rifle beneath her jacket instead of openly carrying it on her back. You yourself haven't changed much, but you have gotten better at holding your metal arm still when you aren't using it. The fewer people notice it, the better. Once everything is packed, you make for the door. As you and Donna exit, you notice Pearl bending over the dead man who had her pinned to the wall not ten minutes ago. You tell her to hurry, and she runs after you. The three of you make your way down the hall and toward the lift. As you step on, Pearl gets your attention and hands you a slip of paper, asking you to read it to her."Tall, muscular, carries a rifle, prosthetic arm. Traveling with two women, both deadly." This is all that is written on the paper.A) Tell her it's gibberishB) Tell her not to worry about itC) Other
>>30764894>C) OtherTell her whats on the paper.
>>30764894About my next thread, whenever it may be:I've been thinking about what I might do next, and since there's more people than usual here I figured I should ask now. Would you guys prefer I go back to old style RtR, try a whole new setting like I did with this one, or maybe something else? I had an idea for a special episode, but I'm still working on it.
>>30764894>C) OtherRead it for her"Well that's problematic, they forgot to mention how lovely you both are"
>>30764962This.>>30764971I'd kinda like one in the really old style of RtR again, it left with a lot more of a blank slate, although I don't know where we would really go from there, but I guess that's the point, isn't it?
>>30764971I'd say next thread (episode 5) make a new setting, and then in episode 6 try your hand at the old RtR again.
>>30765008>>30764962>>30764894This
>>30765042This or go back to old RtRWhatever you have the most fun writing, as we all enjoy your magical realm
>>30764962>>30765012You read the writing on the paper aloud as the lift makes its way down to the ground floor. Donna seems visibly concerned, but Pearl only looks confused. "Someone actually put a hit on you? What do you think it was for?"A) Disrupting human traffickingB) Plumbing related mishapC) General mob fuckeryD) "No idea."
>>30765135>A) Disrupting human trafficking>B) Plumbing related mishap>C) General mob fuckery>E) Jaywalking
>>30765083>>30765042>>30765012Do you guys think you'd prefer to start off as a nameless peasant again, or would a little backstory be better? I know it's probably not as fun when I start you off like I did the past two. I sort of regret it.
>>30765135>A) Disrupting human trafficking>>30765163Nameless peasant, definitely.
>>30765163I like the backstory, like Gregor's.
>>30765163I like both. :3
>>30765135>A) Disrupting human trafficking
Gotta go for a bit guys, see you when I'm back.
>>30765319See ya'
>>30765179>>30765304The lift reaches the ground floor and you step out. The people here seem spooked, but you ignore them, hoping to make it out before anyone notices anything suspicious. You get out the door and onto the street without incident. Once you're on the sidewalk, Donna asks if you'd rather skip town and move on, or stick around and see what happens. Pearl voices her desire for food, but considering the belly she's been developing, you think it can wait.A) Move on to the next townB) Find a new place to stayC) Other
>>30765426>A) Move on>C) "Just hold on a little longer and I promise I'll take you to eat somewhere really nice, how's that sound?"
>>30765471This
>>30765471>>30765550Your promise does perk Pearl up, and this in turn picks up the pace of the whole group as you make your way to the air station. You've plenty of coin left from Riley, but Donna's thirst and Pearl's stomach are going to make the last leg of the trip a rough one. As you prepare to board, you notice someone approaching you from the right. It appears to be one of the station workers, judging by his uniform. He makes clear eye contact with you as he draws near, and when he catches up to you he places a hand on your shoulder to stop you from walking."Ah, excuse me sir but I believe you dropped something as you were going through security. It's right over in the lost and found, please come to claim it if you'd like it back. It won't take but a moment, I promise."You look at Donna, who shrugs. Pearl seems fixated on the ships as they arrive and depart.A) "I've got everything I need."B) Go with himC) Other
>>30765648>A) "I've got everything I need.">C) "You don't want to do this"
>>30765669"Please just step out of line and follow me, sir. You won't lose your place, I assure you. We need you to claim your property or you won't be allowed to board." He smiles brightly. The lad clearly takes a lot of pride in his teeth. As he speaks, he squeezes down on your shoulder and tries to pull you out of the line. You can already see people trying to squeeze past you.A) FollowB) Push him awayC) Other
>>30765763>C) OtherGrab the hand he's grabbing him with and show him what a grown man's strength is"You're too young to throw your life away for something so stupid">B) Push him away
>>30765763>A) FollowDon't need to make a scene here.
>>30765763>B) Push him awaydon't trust this guy. sounds like a set up, if we really droped something and he saw it. I don't think it'd be a problem for him to just hand it over.Then again im just getting into this story so i don't know what we have, and hope its nothing to important if we did indeed drop anything.
>>30765828But if he's setting us up for an ambush or a capture we're screwed if we follow
>>30765871I guess. Figure we're probably capable enough to fight back though. Also:>if he's setting us up for an ambush>if
>>30765928Well, consider the fact he's forcing us to leave the line, he's saying we're missing something we're not, we're in the middle of an escape attempt, and the fact that literally everybody in town knows of us.
>>30765928Also:>Figure we're probably capable enough to fight back thoughNot if they have +5 men, specially if we get disarmed
>>30765823>>30765828Your threat does not fall on deaf ears. The man cringes a bit at your grip, helped by the mechanical arm. It doesn't take much effort to pull his arm away and lightly shove him so that you can step back in line. You keep eye contact a bit longer as he wrings his wrist from the pain. He seems to calculate his options before finally giving up and sulking back to wherever it is he came from. You turn back and catch up to Donna and Pearl, who are almost about to step onto the lift. From that point on, boarding goes smoothly. The ship leaves port without incident, but you can't help shake the nervous feeling. You stand near the railing of the ship as it leaves port and heads north. Donna goes to get a drink, and Pearl to clean out the buffet. A) Join DonnaB) Join PearlC) Walk around the shipD) Other
>>30766194>A) Join Donna
>>30766194B) Join Pearl
>>30766194>B) Join Pearl
>>30766265>>30766321You decide to follow Pearl to the dining room. You part ways with Donna and agree to meet up before you land.The dining room is standard fare for a ship of this size. Most of the food is cold, such as sandwiches and baked goods. Pearl quickly begins stacking a plate high with a bit of everything, challenging you to beat her speed.A) Play alongB) Get only what you needC) Other
>>30766386A) Play along
>>30766386>B) Get only what you need
>>30766386>A) Play along
>>30766392You pile the plate high and sit down with Pearl at a nearby table. She is a worthy opponent, but you were trained to eat with lightning speed and then run two miles without vomiting every morning for years. By the end, you are stuffed and Pearl is in a giggling fit. You belch to commemorate your victory."Hehe, I'm so glad you feel better. I thought you might be sad because people are trying to kill you."A) "I am, but being around you makes it hard to stay sour."B) "People have been trying to kill me for twenty years. Whys should today be different?"C) Other
>>30766530A) "I am, but being around you makes it hard to stay sour."
>>30766530Mix B+A>C) People have been trying to kill me for twenty years. At least now I have you around, so it's hard to stay sour
>>30766530>B) "People have been trying to kill me for twenty years. Whys should today be different?"
>>30766545>>30766595This raises the color in her cheeks even more as she continues to stuff copious amounts of meat and fruit into her mouth. At the very least you've managed to teach her to wipe her mouth when she eats, so that's one less thing to worry about. Although, you realize now that Pearl has hardly bathed in all the time you've known her and yet she always looks her best. Perhaps it's due to her nonhuman properties."I've been meaning to ask you about something? It's something kind of odd."A) "Go ahead."B) "If it's something odd maybe it's better to ask Donna."C) Other
>>30766731A) "Go ahead."
>>30766731>A) "Go ahead."
>>30766796>>30766826"What does it mean when you like to be with someone, but more than other people? Sometimes when that happens, I get really happy and hungry, but I don't think food fixes it. It's just sort of a weird feeling in my stomach. Oh, and babies! Whenever the feeling comes I want to have babies, but I'm not sure how that works. I mean, I've seen animals make babies but do you just ask someone nicely? Can it be anyone? Do you have to pay money?"A) Change your mind about listeningB) "That's not something I know much about."C) "Having a baby is complicated. I don't think it's a very good idea for you."D) Other
>>30766972D) "Well it's complicated, when a man and a woman love each other..."Do the talk
>>30766990>>30766972Read it as, try to explain to the best of his abilities the whole sex and babies talk, and all about doing it with the person you love, got me?
>>30766990Seconding. Give her the talk.
>>30767041>>30766990I remember the first time I had to do this...
I'm back, Baby>>30767058Just gave one of my nephews the talk last week. And that was my face afterwords.>>30766990This
>>30766990>>30767041>>30767058You slide you plate out of the way and begin explaining things just as your father did for you on that evening long ago, right outside the beef ranch. Lacking a bull and cow for visual aids, you substitute the salt and pepper, as well as a juice bottle for emphasis. The speech lasts about eight minutes, and in your opinion is masterfully crafted. To cap the lecture, you try to explain that a person should only try to have babies with someone that is truly special and who you want to spend the rest of your life with. To your surprise, Pearl seems to take all this with a sincere face. Not once does she seem confused by the complex morality or your explanation of how paprika is made."I knew how to make babies, but I didn't know it was so complicated. Still, it sounds so romantic the way you explain it. It kind of makes me want to do it more. Hm. I'm sorry to bother you like this. You've taken really good care of me since we left my lagoon. I wish I could give you something back." Pearl seems to think very hard on this point. She puts her fork down, crosses her arms and wrinkles her nose.A) Tell her you like beerB) Tell her you don't want to be repaidC) Other
>>30767325>A) Tell her you like beer
>>30767058A friend of mine tricked me into coming over to explain it to her son. She was too embarrassed, I guess. As if that's not enough I have to explain it again in a few years. Maybe I can just trick her into thinking babies come from Amazon?
>>30767325>B)"Hey, I did it because I care for you. Don't worry"
>>30767369C'mon man, you've done it once, you can do it again. Or you can get revenge on your friend by having her explain it to your daughter.
>>30767325B) Tell her you don't need* to be repaid
>>30767369 how did she manage to trick you man?
>>30767389>>30767424You try to assure Pearl that you don't want anything in return, but she is clearly unsatisfied. Eventually you give up and let her do as she likes. Now that the both of you are full, you should allow others to take the space you occupy. Or at least, you don't want to sit here while Pearl tries to think of a gift for you in silence. You stand and slide your chair back into place.A) Go out onto the deckB) Find DonnaC) Bring Pearl with youD) Leave Pearl to her own devicesE) Other
>>30767613C) Bring Pearl with you
>>30767450I was promised Street Fighter and cookies. I got them, but they only turned to ash in my mouth. Although the child shows an affinity for arcade sticks like I've never seen.

>>30767613>B) Find Donna>C) Bring Pearl with you
>>30767648>>30767682You call Pearl to follow you up to the deck. She wipes her mouth and skips over. The two of you make your way up for some fresh air. The sky outside is blue and cloudless, and the breeze is cool. There don't appear to be any other people enjoying the view, however. You walk with Pearl to the side railing and look out. It's quite relaxing to see the ground below you pass beneath. As you let the view wash away your worries, you feel a tap on your shoulder. You look up to Pearl, who points back toward the center of the ship. You glance over and see two men approaching you, one with a hunting pistol strapped to his thigh, and the other carrying a long object wrapped in cloth. They seem quite happy to see you.A) Greet themB) Ask if you can help them with somethingC) Other
>>30767945>A) Greet them>C) OtherOffer a handshake. If they accept it, do some judoshit.
>>30767945>A) Greet them>C) Walk towards them as if to shake their hands"Do I know you?"but>D) Be ready to throw one of them overboard and fight the other
>>30768005This
>>30767982>>30768005The man with the pistol motions for his friend to stop. He grins and removes his hat, placing it on his chest and bowing his head slightly."You're not a very hard man to find for a price as high as 80,000. Most of the time people with that sort of bounty are hiding, or at the very least leaving a trail of gore in their wake. Oh but where are my manners. My name is Calvin Russo, and this lean piece of meat is my traveling companion Kuro. Don't bother speaking to him, he doesn't know the tongue. Now, you are worth just as much alive as dead, so if you'd be so kind as to send your lady friend off and come quietly, I could very well save on shells. What do you say?"A) Tell Pearl to go and drawB) Draw, and tell Pearl to do soC) Other
>>30768284>A) Tell Pearl to go and drawTell her to get Donna
>>30768284>A) Tell Pearl to go and drawMetal arm protection, evasive maneuver and shooting.Also once Pearl is past them, I hope she'll realize she's in a good position for a surprise strike
>>30768284>A) Tell Pearl to go and drawThems fightin' words.
>>30768339>>30768354>>30768360You instruct Pearl to go and stay with Donna. Despite your exclusion of the obvious, you can tell by the look she gives you that she understands the situation. She walks past the two men, long red braid dancing in the breeze, and makes her way below deck. You are left alone with Calvin and Kuro. You draw the rifle from your hip. Four fire shells, three blue shells. Seeing this, both of your pursuers draw their own weapons. Kuro unwraps the cloth and reveals something very akin to a sword, though of a variety the likes of which you've never encountered. It is curved, much like a saber, but quite narrow and long. He wields it in both hands and takes a stance you'd have only thought the people of ancient times to use. "I'm going to give you another chance to reconsider. Place that rifle on the floor and put your hands in the air and nobody will have to be stuffed into a bag before this ship lands."A) Shoot CalvinB) Shoot KuroC) Beckon CalvinD) Beckon KuroE) Other

>>30768513>E) OtherPut the rifle down and stall for time for Donna to arrive.
>>30768551You raise the rifle and aim quickly. When you squeeze the trigger, a ball of bright flame erupts from the barrel and tears through the air. Though the breeze here knocks the shot off course just a bit, you are confident in your ability to hit your target. Seeing the incoming shot, Kuro does something that until just recently you would have assumed unthinkable. He raises his sword above his head, and with one powerful downward stroke, he knocks the shot out of the air. It collides with the deck, burning it black. Calvin opens fire with his pistol. The roar of the thing is like a beast. Fire, jet, and fire make their way towards you, forcing you to raise your arm in defense. You sleeve is ripped apart and burned, revealing the black and copper arm beneath. It is hard to keep it up through the barrage, but you manage. However, in the time you needed to defend, Kuro has begun to dash toward you, sword ready to strike.A) DefendB) ShootC) ParryD) Other
>>30768762Wow, who didn't see that coming...>B) ShootShoot Calvin so we can solo Kuro, otherwise we're dead
>>30768762>A) Defend>B) Shoot Calvin
>>30768762How long do you intend to keep running tonight, Rags-kun?
>>30768887At least 3 more hours>>30768793>Wow, who didn't see that coming...Aw :'(
>>30768821This
>>30769011It's not your fault Rags.It's just 80% of the times, when someone carries a sword in a gun setting, you watch out for that guy.
>>30769011I saw it coming and just couldn't resist
>>30769066 I really wanted to avoid it in this situation since it seems pretty serious, specially if my suspicions are right, but it's fun either way.
>>30768821>>30769019Kuro reaches you in record time, and slashes with his sword. You manage to catch it in your hand, but his strength isn't to be underestimated. Keeping the blade from breaking free and tearing into you takes a tremendous amount of focus. Seeing this as clearly the more pressing threat, you attempt to raise your rifle and shoot Calvin in order to tip the scales in your favor. With great effort, you maneuver to fire. The shot again flies true, but these men have no end of surprises. With the fluid motion of a practiced whore, Calvin bends over backwards, placing his head and shoulders on the ground as he bends his knees. The shot goes over his belly, and he slowly raises himself back up."Haha, we don't go after 80,000 bounties because we think we're lucky, boy. Kuro!"The blade in your hand is pulled away from you, and before you have a chance to react, Kuro slashes at your right arm. The cut isn't deep, but for some reason you begin to feel a numbness take your finer control from you. You can barely keep the rifle straight, let alone fire. Calving seems content to line up his shots now as Kuro keeps you distracted, and you are pressed backward toward the ship's railing, parrying Kuro's blade as well as you are able. Kuro takes a short step back, and goes for a lunge, hoping to sink his blade into your belly.A) CatchB) Sidestep
>>30769246>B) Sidestep
>>30769246Now would be a good time to find out our metal hand can boost our power
>>30769257You are able to dodge to the side of Kuro's attack, and with your left elbow drive him back into the rail of the ship. This gives you a brief chance to try and turn the tables. Calvin is already preparing to fire again, however, and so taking too great a risk may doom you.A) Attempt to finish off KuroB) Switch hands and fire at CalvinC) Defend
>>30769589>B) Switch hands and fire at Calvin
>>30769778You change your rifle to your left hand and take aim. Calvin fires twice at you, but you narrowly evade both shots. As he reloads, you take the chance and fire twice. He bobs out of the way of the first shot, but the second hits his pistol. He drops it, no doubt burning his hand all the same. You have another opening now, but Kuro is already after you again.A) ShootB) Switch to your armC) Run
>>30769778It's that time of night again
>>30769891>B) Switch to your armcaptcha: flanked ngannah>>30769913Rags-kun, what are we doing alone together?
>>30769891>b
>>30769951You switch your rifle back to your right hand just in time to stop Kuro's blade as it comes in. You return to the exhausting practice of defending against the blade as you try to find an opening to attack, but something about his movements seem much more ferocious now. He attacks much faster, leaving you with little to no time to breath. Finally, you are too slow to succeed and you are punished with a slash across both legs. You fall backward onto the deck of the ship, you legs already beginning to numb. Kuro begins hammering down upon you with his blade, toying with you as you raise your arm to block him. "Help me, you rice loving son of a bitch!" You hear Calvin cry out, and look over to see the cause. Calvin is desperately trying to reload his gun without the use of his burned hand as your companions reach the top of the deck. Donna opens fire on Calvin, forcing him to dodge out of the way. Perl seems confused as to how to proceed now, but she seems to favor firing at Kuro.A) Tell Pearl to help youB) Tell Pearl to help DonnaC) Other
>>30770119>A) Tell Pearl to help you
>>30770240Pearl does as she is told and begins firing at Kuro. Despite his astinishing speed, he cannot defend against the onslaught of white lightning that surrounds him. You can see the thing burns and cuts that form on his skin as the electricity lashes him. Still, his sword seems to be taking at least half of the damage that should be done, and he's standing strong. Pearl stops to reload, but Kuro has little energy left. A) RifleB) Blade
>>30770240Hey, after her development as a char and interactions, are you willing to waifu pearl?
>>30770439>B) Blade>>30770467No. I am stubborn about this.
>>30770439> A. RifleDon't give the swordsman any openings
>>30770439Some people just need a little snikt in their lives. Shiv that bitch.
>>30770529Im just asking because so far 4\5 of the way was goinh her path so it'd seem oc for a sudden change..
>>30770529>>30770601We have dug our own graves spring man
>>30770601I'd be willing to have her as a daughteru but that's it.
>>30770439>B) Blade
>>30770597>>30770529With Kuro distracted, you snap your wrist and ready your blade. With little of your body under full control, you are left with no other option but to drive the blade into his lower legs. With a cry of pain, Kuro falls to the floor. You throw yourself on him, plunging the blade in again and again until he no longer moves. You look up and see something you'd never expect. With their guns dry, Donna and Pearl work together to shove Calvin over the side of the ship. His own pistol lays harmlessly on the floor behind them, as he screams and begs for mercy. He thrashes, bashing his fists and elbows into them, but the two of them together have just enough strength to overpower him. You watch as Pearl lifts his legs and tosses him over, and you can hear him scream for a good forty feet of the drop. After that, either the engines or the ground will take him.You lie on the ground, unable to move you organic limbs. Pearl runs over to you to check your wounds. They really aren't that deep, and should only require some bandaging to heal, and yet they feel heavy as stone. Donna arrives, sliding her rifle back into concealment."Cmon, big guy. Don't tell me some little scratches have got you all out of breath."A) "Just help me up."B) "Get rid of the other one before someone comes."C) Other
>>30770799>B) "Please, get rid of the other one before someone comes."Always be polite
>>30770842>>30770799oh and>C) OtherAsk Pearl to help us to our room, Donna too if she's done with the corpse thing fast.
>>30770799>B) "Get rid of the other one before someone comes."
>>30770842>>30770879Donna smiles and begins dragging Kuro over to the side of the ship, along with his sword. Pearl musters all the strength in her slender body to help you to your feet. When she's done getting rid of the evidence, Donna comes over to help Pearl get you to the First Aid Station. As you walk, Pearl leans into you."I'm getting the feeling again. The baby feeling. What do I do?"A) Tell her to keep it to herself until you landB) Tell her not to announce that sort of thingC) Other
>>30770983>A) Tell her to keep it to herself until you landNo.Jegus do people really want to fuck the child-like undine?
>>30770983>C) Other"Just remember what we talked before it's something you've gotta decide on your own"
What am I saying this is 4chan
>>30771075>>30770983This is okay
>>30771091Remember the first episode?But outside of that, personally I like her personality. She's innocent and adventurous, and she's also growing as a person without leaving that behind.
>>30771075>>30771130Pearl's face scrunches as you move, and she seems to be in thought again. You make it to the First Aid station, and Donna begins unpacking one of the many red bags full of medical supplies. "Alright, strip down so I can wrap you up."A) Do as you're toldB) Ask to let Pearl do itC) Other
>>30771152Thing was, first episode Anna was adorable, and that's what it was all about. To me, Pearl has just gone from an overly energetic child we've given caffeine to, to a teenager.
>>30771177B) Ask to let Pearl do it "It's kinda hard to move my limbs right now"
>>30771177>A) Do as you're told
>>30771177>B) Ask to let Pearl do it
>>30771192>>30771258okay i swear you fuckers are just doing this to spite me now
>>30771281I honestly find Pearl adorable, and have said it before
>>30771192>>30771258"Now's not the time to be shy. You saw me, now it's my turn. Cmon girl, help me do this." Without any strength left in your organic limbs, and fearful that resisting with your false arm could injure your comrades, you cannot resist. You feel the blood rise in you as Pearl and Donna peel away your clothes until you're in nothing but your boxer shorts. Pearl holds up your arms as Donna cleans and bandages the cuts. The disinfectant stings to the point that you can feel tears welling in your eyes."Oh come on, I thought you were some kind of big cock soldier man. Just hold on a minute more and we'll get the baby a bottle." Donna finishes wrapping you and you force yourself to stand. You stand bare but for the lightest cover before your friends. Pearl seems to be searching her head for answers even harder as Donna packs up the supplies. "See? All done. Now let's go get something to drink. You too Pearl."A) "At least let me get something on."B) "Pearl isn't drinking."C) Other
>>30771358>A) "At least let me get something on."
>>30771358>A) "At least let me get something on."I'm curious as to the outcome of Pearl drinking...
>>30771358A) "At least let me get something on."
>>30771384>>30771394>>30771413"Fine, if you absolutely must. I'll meet you there." Donna makes her way to the bar as Pearl helps you gather up and put on your clothes. As you dress, you ask her if she's alright. "It's really hard to decide. I don't even really know how to say what I want. Those animals did it all the time, I don't get why it's so hard." You tell her to try and get it out of her head for now. She takes several deep breaths and seems to relax. With that done and your clothes back on, the two of you head to the bar.Donna is already waiting for you there with three bottles of cold beer. The bar is somewhat lively for being the early morning, but you suppose some may just be here to get out of the elements. You sit on either side of Donna and accept the drink from her. She quickly turns her attention to Pearl."So you say she's not human? I have to wonder if she gets drunk like a human. Only one way to find out, right?" You shrug and take a drink from your beer. "Here Pearl, drink some of this and tell me what you think."Pearl takes the bottle apprehensively. She sniffs it, seems displeased with the taste, but at Donna's beckoning she drinks it anyway. Her face scrunches and she looks like as if she wants to spit it out, but she does not. Donna laughs and pats her on the shoulder. "She's a natural. That's the exact face I made when I had my first drink. Have some more then." Donna forces more drink down Pearl's throat. You think of stopping her, but to your surprise Pearl does seem to grow more accustomed to the stuff with each sip. Eventually, the three of you find a nice relaxing pace and settle into conversation.A) Talk about the hitmenB) Talk about DonnaC) Talk about PearlD) Other
>>30771533>C) Talk about Pearl
>>30771552C) Talk about PearlNow'd be a good time for the girls to also talk of those feelings she's been having
>>30771533>A) Talk about the hitmen
>>30771552>>30771598You finish your fourth bottle and order a new one before changing the subject of the conversation. You try to discreetly mention to Donna that Pearl is having some troubles that she might understand better than you. It takes a few tries, but eventually Donna seems to catch on. She turns to Pearl and asks about what she's feeling."It's nothing! Why'd you have to tell her, you...um... you fucking! You're a fucking!"The two of you raise your eyebrows at Pearl's attempt to use a new word. She has the right emphasis, but not the meaning. Donna places a hand on her shoulder and asks her again what the matter is. Pearl wriggles away and falls off of her stool. You step down, wobbling slightly, to make sure she hasn't hurt her head. Donna approaches as well, and the both of you kneel down. Pearl rolls on the ground for a moment before finally resting on her back and closing her eyes. "I want to make babies. I don't know why, but it sounds like the most fun and important thing in the whole world right now. I never wanted this when I was in my lagoon! Why do I have to want it now?"Donna giggles slightly and you can feel the color rising in your cheeks a bit. "I think you should take her to the room." You look at Pearl. She's barely aware of the world, and you're still barely able to walk under your own power. Still, a nap will probably do her good.A) Take herB) Ask Donna if she wouldn't mind just this onceC) Other
>>30771732A) Take her
>>30771732>A
>>30771732>A) Take her
>>30771790>>30771755>>30771754You struggle to lift Pearl, but not wanting to further embarrass yourself in front of Donna makes it seem easier. You tell Donna you'll be back as soon as Pearl falls asleep, and make your way to the cabins. Along the way Pearl continues to mumble things to herself, none of which sound coherent. You reach the room and manage to open the door with one hand without collapsing. You drop Pearl into a bed and help her get her boots off before lifting her legs into the bed and covering her with a light blanket. Just as you are about to leave her, you think you hear her say your name. You turn back around and kneel slightly to hear her better."...mmbaby...you want to make a baby mmmb.." You ask her to repeat herself. Suddenly her hand shoots up and grab onto your collar tighter than you ever would have expected from Pearl. "You want to make babies with Donna don't you! You want to make babies just like the animals always did! I know you do!"A) YesB) No
>>30771900>B) No"Donna? No, no. What?"Drunkasfuck/10
>>30771900>C) Other"It's a bit soon to say that."
>>30771900B) No
>>30771900>>30771931this
>>30771900>B
>>30771931>>30771974You attempt to deflect the idea as Pearl uses you to support her efforts to get back to her feet. She leans on you, wobbling and gripping any part of your shirt for security."Liar! I know! You're just like a big boar! You're gonna give her flowers and show off your horns to her! And then you're gonna make a big bed out of grass and make babies with her! You're gonna make five babies! And then you're gonna bring her fruit and nuts when she feeds the babies and then when they grow up you'll make more babies! You're just a big papa pig who wants to make all the babies! Well you can't! You're not allowed to make babies with Donna! I'm gonna make babies with Donna! She's gonna feed me yummy things while I feed our babies and we're never gonna leave each other!" You try to calm Pearl down as she screams absurd thoughts at you, but she is too far gone. "If you want to make babies with her then I'll do what the pigs do! I'll beat you up, and you'll never try to make babies with Donna ever!" Pearl begins limply butting her head into your chest and stomach, growling as she does so. It would likely be more effective if she was doing it from more than two inches from you, but if she tried that she'd likely fall over due to her impaired balance. "I'm gonna have babies! Only me! I'll fight you!"A) Push her onto the bedB) Step back and let her fallC) Try to lay her downD) Other
>>30772098>A) Push her onto the bed
>>30772098>C) Try to lay her down>D) Hold her in a hug
>>30772098>C) Try to lay her down
>>30772098well played Rags, well played.
>>30772125>>30772175
>>30772098>>30772175Does she even know who/where/what she is anymore?This is slavic drunk tier
>>30772130>>30772151Pearl continues trying to fight you for breeding rights. It isn't long before you grow tired of watching her struggle and decide to lift her and place her back in the bed. When her head hits the pillow, she loses all will to continue fighting and settles down. You cover her up and tuck her in just to be sure, then leave after saying goodnight. You shut the door and head back to the bar.Donna is still finishing off her fifth bottle when you return. She smiles as you enter, and motions to the seat beside her. "That took you a while. What happened, did she puke on the deck?"A) "I don't want to talk about it."B) "I won."C) "I just put her down and came back, that's all."D) Tell her the whole truthE) Other
>>30772335>B) "I won."
>>30772335>E) Other"She got rambly."
>>30772351>>30772345>>30772335TheseAlso, I'm confused was she just drunk or did we just become the third wheel if it's the latter at least we got our Metal Arm to keep us warm
>>30772345>>30772392You take the bottle you left on the bar back up and have a drink before responding. Donna raises an eyebrow, seemingly unsure about how to respond. The two of you spend the rest of the afternoon drinking and shooting the breeze, as well as playing a rousing game of marine darts, which is essentially just darts while the players are drunk on a swaying ship. Fatalities increase by 87%.After you've had your fun, you return to the room. Donna goes right to bed, and you go to check on Pearl. You open the bedroom door and shut it just as quick. To look any longer would have been rude.It was later explained that she had been expecting Donna to enter first.
>>30772454You're an evil genius.I don't know if I want to praise you or cry!
>>30772454Wrapping here tonight. This was a weird one. I hope nobody is too upset with how things unfolded. We're still not quite at the ending though. If there's a new thread tomorrow, it'll start in about thirteen hours. I'm really happy that so many people played today, it really cheered me up. Naturally I love all you guys and hope you come back for more. Oh, and if someone will archive me and the child will talk about how cool you are when we eat cereal tomorrow.Description: Bunraku aka Can you feel the love tonight?
>>30772504Archived. Thanks for running again, Rags.
>>30772504Well they won't have babies.Unless... well now my mind is flooded with un/d/ines.Also I think if this had rolls his explanations on how babies work would have been a crit fail.Still a funny development.
>>30772528Springhead and Lucky Charms it is
Looking back at today, I think Brutus would've been proud of me.
>>30772596God rest his soul
>>30772615200+ replies! A new record!
>>30772615R.I.P. Brutus>>30772625Wooooo break out the champagne and confetti
>>30772596Brutus was the anti waifu guy right?
>>30772730Yeah, peace to his bitter soul.
>>30772504I'm gonna be truly honest now, I really found it funny but at the same time it brings too many bad memories to mind for me to really enjoy it hahahIs next one the gran finale?
>>30772778Probably not. As you know, I write like a snail running through honey, so we might have three more threads left.Super spoilers for people who really really don't mind being spoiled for what I have planned! It's not NTR if you don't want it to be
>>30772799That spoilerWell I'm guessingWe can either get Donna because she's not into /u/It can not be NTR simply because 'actually ic he wasn't interested'Gregor can suddenly come out of th closet and ben dover Rileyor (and this one's my personal favourite)threesome end?
