Welcome to Harem Protag Quest. You are John Galt, the sentient protagonist of a harem show. Aside from having to gather and keep your harem, you will have to deal with various other obstacles at the Cassandra College of Witches.>Mechanics: http://pastebin.com/MuXRzApY>MC: http://pastebin.com/TdBKC27p >Other Characters: http://pastebin.com/SCdW9jJi>Magic system: http://pastebin.com/jKt3dEkR>Previous threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Harem%20Protag%20Quest>Twitter: @HaremProtaGuide>Current Stats:>Protag Points: 300>Mana 20/20>Harem Status 4/7>Alright, so I’ve been thinking and it has been brought up, that there are a lot of things to do and many of them are better done mechanically. I’d like your thoughts on having a schedule and rolling for certain benefits with me writing the character interaction around them?As you step back into the house, two new friends beside you, you find Kaname and Chris waiting for you. “It took you long enough I was…” Kaname stops, looking between you, Riela and Imc, “Who are they?”“This is Riela and this is Imca,” you say pointing to each one respectively, “They’re here to join our gang.”“Our what?” asks Chris. “Our gang,” you say, gesturing to everyone and including an upward motion to include the whole house. “But we’re not…” Kaname pauses, then apparently starts thinking hard, “I guess that does make sense though, it’s not like we’re going to be around our normal groups. “Wait, why do we need a gang?” asks Chris, still apparently out of the loop like you are. “It’s a long explanation,” says Akeno, gesturing Tatsuko towards the kitchen. Riela and Imca are still standing by, looking around. Riela is apparently more eager and curious, while Imca appears to be still wary. >Talk to the pair. >Go make breakfast.>Get a better explanation for the “gang” thing. >Other.
Rolled 1>>31396410>>Go make breakfast.>>Get a better explanation for the “gang” thing.>Do introductions, try to get everyone talking
>>31396410Go make breakfast, talk to the pair while doing so.Also, find out how Kaede's doing
>>31396410>>Talk to the pair. >>Go make breakfast.>>Get a better explanation for the “gang” thing.The two conversation topics sound like things we can do while cooking
>>31396410Talk about things over breakfast
>>31396410> go make breakfastThe time cometh that our purpose may be fulfilled.Also, we should ask a girl to help stir the gravy while we work on the biscuits. That way we can catch up on how kaede is doing.
>>31396410>>Talk to the pair. >>Go make breakfas>Check on Kaede
>>31396410>Talk to the pair while making breakfast.We're a good enough cook to multitask and it'd be nice to rope the pair into delivering meals and helping around the kitchen/keeping us company.
>>31396570>Talk to the pair. >Go make breakfast.>Get a better explanation for the “gang” thingWell with two new members to our gang sleeping arrangements will get even more complicated.
So, I'd just like to point out. We're such a bard.We into Enchantment so hard.We gots da bitches.We literally just talked someone who just tried to shoot us in our face into joining us.The only problem is: We know how to sword.So, I believe that we should learn how to dance, and become a sword dancer.
>>31396616We need to keep them far away from the lesnazi, at least until we cure her with furious dickings
>>31396410>Talk to the pair. >Go make breakfast.>Ask about Kaede.
>>31396674we could ask Karasuba to teach us capoeira. It'll also probably be the closest thing to getting a dance with her too
>>31396685/d/ go home!
>>31396685I think we should help psycholez get her own harem. Not of girls that are interested in us, but any that are lez or bi starting off we should try and set up with herand, once we cure her with furious dickings, we can subsume her harem
Alright, looks like equal parts make breakfast and talk to people, with a side order of asking how Kaede is doing. I'm going to need 1d100+50 for cooking.>>31396750Who do you think she thought she was macking on?

>>31396790we are a god
>>31396831The biscuits shall become the stuff of legend.Sous chef waifu when? We're going to need her. Bad.
>>31396814This is the fabled biscuits and gravy we have fought and trained for. Of course it can.
>>31396790So, 144 out of 100. I knew there was a reason I thought up this ridiculous scenario in my head. Writing.
>>31396777>Who do you think she thought she was making on?Probably either a childhood friend or ex-girlfriend. Depending on what year she is (I'm guessing she's a freshman, but who knows) they might have been from before she came to this school or we might run into them later.
>>31396790Holy shit. I thought I rolled the 26, not the 94!!
>>31396790holy hell
>>31396880>ridiculous scenario>GuideGuys I think our food is going to cause orgasms, that or their heads will detonate into tentacles from pure pleasure, and possibly be wake up next to gay guys who will kiss them

>>31397135Legends will be told of the demigod John Galt and his travels with his +30 stiring spoon and harem. He walks the earth dishing out his own brand of justice and heavenly confectioneries as the great god of cooking looks on in approval.

>>31397236Stop, I'm cumming to hard already.
>>31397299Fuck, I thought something was wrong.*too
>>31397236And some chicken fried steak
>>31397446Where do you think the gravy came from?
>>31397467...Chicken?
>>31396410“You two can come into the kitchen,” you say to Riela and Imca, gesturing for them to follow you as you walk towards the kitchen, “seeing as how I did promise you breakfast.” Walking into what you’re already starting to think of as your domain, you see that Tatsuko and Akeno have set out most of the food to be put away. Surveying their work with a nod, you pull out the “Kiss the Cook” apron that was the only one that Akeno could find and put it on, readying yourself for the task ahead of you. “So you really cook?” asks Imca, looking at all the food with hunger in her eyes. “Yeah,” you say, going over a few new ideas you had in your mind. Taking out the new set of bowls, pans and utensils that you had bought, you begin trying to remember what you did yesterday morning, enchanting without actually carving into anything. “But are you a good cook?” ask Riela, smiling a bit at you.“One of the better ones that you’ll ever meet,” you say, focusing deep down inside you, drawing on all of the mana you have. “What are you…” asks Imca, before being cut off by Akeno and Riela, who seem to have noticed that you’re trying to do something magical. You’re not sure you could do it for anything else…yet, but your familiarity with the process and what you want to do allows you to enchant all of the items in one go. “Automate,” you whisper and suddenly there are dozens of small magical circles enchanting themselves around the various kitchen implements that are lying in front of you, filling them not only with a basic automation skill, but a fine attunement towards you. >-20 ManaThirty seconds later it’s done, the glow disappearing and leaving lines in metal, glass and porcelain like they had been made that way. Then you flick your hand and they all begin to scatter towards where you need them.
>>31397573It’s silent in the room as you work, until Kaname walks back in with Chris.“What are you…” Kaname starts to ask, before being silenced by a hiss from all four of the watching girls. It takes a while for you to finish, considering you had to make the biscuits and scones from scratch and the four different kinds of meat take a while to cook, but by the time you’re finished you have nearly every kind of breakfast food imaginable and the food is sparkling. Not just glistening, actually sparkling, you can see it. The smell is so good, that you see Kaede peeking around the edge of the door, sniffing at the food. “Alright, let’s eat,” you say, gesturing the utensils over to the sink to wash themselves. There’s a rush as plates and unenchanted utensils are handed out, but there is calm around the food as everyone gets plenty, with more left over besides. Kaede even manages to sneak inside, though still staying away from you. Everyone seems to stare at the food, until you take the first bite and then there’s a rush as forks and knives clink, drinks are drunk and not a whole lot of talking goes on. Then Imca speaks, “This is amazing.”There’s a general murmur of agreement around the table.You seem to have the advantage of their stomachs at the moment. Say something?>Just say thanks for the complement.>Boast.>Smile and let silence reign. >Other
>>31397467I don't know what gray you use, but our gravy will come straight from the gravy river off of the biscuit mountain from the eternal plane of food.
>>31397598>>Smile and let silence reign.Feeding waifus ambrosia is its own reward.
>>31397598>Smile and let silence reign.
>>31397598>Boast.we earned it
>>31397598>Just say thanks for the complement.Now, something the show will never address: are the dishes enchanted to clean themselves?
>>31397598>Just say thanks for the complement Stay humble. Also we need to talk to Kaede after this.
Rolled 20>>31397598>>Smile and let silence reign.
>>31397656>“Alright, let’s eat,” you say, gesturing the utensils over to the sink to wash themselves.Gonna go with yes.
>>31397598>Smile and let silence reign.Let them enjoy the food.
>>31397598"So I hope we can continue to get along in the future." Then offer up a toast, "To our well being"
>>31397598>Smile and let silence reign.How a true chief takes pride in his work.
Looks like silence wins. Writing.
"You would make a great housewife John..."
>>31397598You almost say something, but there is nothing that you could say that would make this sublime moment any better. So you simply let a small, pleased smile light on your face as you nod in thanks, not even stopping as you eat. It’s one of your best meals ever and you’re damn proud of it, as you should be. As you finish eating and everyone starts to clean up, you feel…warm, like you did with Ms. Black before. >Mana +5 now 25/25.And you can see the girls all looking at you, some of them more than others…along with a few strange things that shouldn’t be there. > Akeno, Tatsuko, Chris and Kaname gain +5 attraction. >Ms. Black and Nanoha gain +4 attraction. >Junko, Imca and Riela gain +3 attraction.>Kaede and ??? gain ??? attraction. Wait, Ms. Black? Junko?Looking around you see Ms. Black standing by the door, plate in hand, smile on her face. She nods at the window and you see a clean plate on the sill, a short blue hair visible on it. As for your friend…well some of those shadows near the food seem to move oddly for just a second, before going back to normal. Everyone seems to be out of the kitchen but you now, with everything being clean. It’s still pretty early, you could head to class, maybe go to the dojo or you might want to talk to someone.>Go to classes for the day.>Go train.>Talk with some of the girls. (Pick)>Other.
>>31398084>Head to class
>>31398084>Go to classes for the day.
Who is nanoha again?
Rolled 3, 3, 9 = 15>>31398084kets talk about our dreams with tatsuko, she seems yo be the expert around
>>31398084Train with Ms Black, talk with her about her favorite fighting techniqueswe only need 2 more points to get her in the harem
>>31398084> go trainFor snark and swole go we forward
>>31398084>>Go to classes for the day.
>>31398084>Go to classes for the day.Time for studiousness.>>31398162Brown-haired doom-beam girl. In her own series, she is a brown-haired friendship-beam girl, which pretty much amounts to the same thing.
>>31398084Talk with some of the girls>Nanoha and ChrisWe really haven't talked to them at all, and if we can even learn a little of offensive magic it'll be good to have as a backup to our sword bullshit.plus, flirting with the white devil - what's not to love?
>>31398084>>Go train.>>Talk with some of the girls. (Pick)See if we can get Christiana and Nanoha to walk with us to the gym while we talk.
>>31398084>>Go train.Ms. Black is almost in the harem and its early enough that we could get some training in before class
>>31398175>>31398188Lets train.
>>31398084>Go to classes for the day.I believe training should be every 2-3 days. That way we can recover from what we know will soon be intense training
>>31398084Lets go to class, we can't be terrible at the other schools of magic forever after all
>>31398084>Go to class for the day.Well, we need to make sure the deen doesn't have an excuse to kick us out of this college.
>>31398215seconding
>>31398242our first class is english
>>31398084>Go to classes for the day.Let's try and learn not to suck and not to have -30 in all other magics. I want to summon a sword in the near future after all
>>31398280I was under the impression we could go train and then still head to classes, as it is still quite early.
>>31398084>>Go train.
>>31398271And the english teacher is kinda hot, what's your point?
>>31398084We still need to talk to kaede
>>31398323I'm guessing that was his point.
>>31398084>>Go train.if we can do it before classes. if not, talk to Kaede
Looks like you're going to class. Writing.
>>31398330No. No we don't.
>>31398084>Go trainGet swole, work on getting psycho sword waifu.
>>31398084Hopefully we remembered to take an escort if we leave the house.
>>31398371She's not traumatized enough yet.
>>31398355damnit guys. We need 2 points for sword waifu
>>31398394Having her leave is by far the best option.
>>31398401As this event just showed, we don't need to train to get those points. Hell, this event itself doubled our points with her and not a single drop of blood was spilled
>>31398330Yeah, but that should wait until after dinner.
>>31398084>Go train.
>>31398401we can hop on the gain train to swole town tomorrow. scary PT teacher isn't going anywhere
>>31398401we'll just train after school with her
>>31398475or between classes, we had one session that didn't overlap with tatsuko. Just get swole then
>>31398498That was lunch, you realize
>>31398401It'll be fine, we will swole later since we'll kinda be forced to anyways.
>>31398498yeah, it's college. Ther's usually a lot of free time during the day when we won't be doing stuff, especially if we have five days of class a week
>>31398084You decide that you should head to class today, what with missing a day from the whole giant doom beam/summoning a forgotten magic thing that happened. Seeing as how it is Wednesday, you have the same schedule as last time, English, Summoning, Enchanting, Physical Training and Mysticism. Gathering up your books, you notice that Chris is waiting for you by the door. “Walking me to class?” you ask her with a smile. She blushes just a bit, but nods. “Kaname explained the idea behind the “Gangs” to me before we ate,” she says, “I don’t agree with it, but since we are mostly functioning as a group like that, it makes sense for us to move together as much as possible, especially since you don’t have any combat skills at the moment.”You’d like to argue, but seeing as how the only reason you weren’t drug away kicking and screaming by Imca and Riela was the presence of Akeno and Tatsuko, you don’t have a leg to stand on. Stepping out the door, you and Chris head towards the English building, slowly seeing more students as you approach. You notice that there really are only groups moving around, with singles being few and far between, looking mostly like they want to keep out of trouble. >Chat with Chris. (What?)>Just walk to class. >Other.
>>31398636>Ask about her combat skillsinb4 she uses a rapier
>>31398636>>Chat with Chris. (What?)Why do we even have an english class at this school?
>>31398636>Chat with Chris. (What?)how does she feel about maybe having to fight. and apologize for bringing her into this
>>31398655Sounds good.
>>31398636>Chat with Chris. (What?)Ask if the college is specialized in producing just Witches, or if some of the students pursue more traditional educational tracks.There's gotta be some magic-using women who don't want magic to be the center of their lives.
>>31398666Because a surprising number of majors and graduate/secondary programs require English credits. Plus "English" is easier to write than "Expository Writing" or "Classics 101: Rise of the Hero Myth"...
>>31398636>Chat with Chris about the whole gangs thing
>>31398636>Chat with Chris about coming up with our own gang sign.
>>31398666The sad thing is, even with English classes, most college students can't even fake sounding like they know what they are writing about.
Looks like some light chit-chat about fighting and gangs. Writing. Also, any thoughts on my question in the OP since there seems to be a lot of lurkers?
>>31398846How would we make the schedule? Vote on each timeslot? And would we have to remake the schedule every day?
>>31398846I'm not 100% sure what you meant by it, but it would probably do to move a lot of the routine stuff into the background, with more timeskippiness.>>31398806Dear Lord, I read some of the freshmen English papers. I tested out of the class, but some were being passed around at my dorm. I question how they got into what was ostenibly a highly-rated university.
>>31398846I kinda like the way things are now, honestly. That's my thoughts on it.
>>31398846schedule is probably a good thing, at least for during school days. It'll keep the quest moving at a fair pace, since we won't have to constantly vote on what to do Weekends we should probably keep open though, same with nights.
>>31398846So, for instance, the weekly schedule of classwork, and we roll for how we do in each class?It makes sense, especially to get some semi-realistic progression over a time skip.
>>31398920Agreed.
>>31398846I think things are going well as is. I wager though that some classes can be glazed over at times via plot if nothing of importance is to happen in it. Remember, do animes always show an entire school day for a character? Nope, only when something important is happening.
>>31398920sounds good
>>31398963That's the point of making a schedule. We can get a sense of time moving, work on increasing our fail magic skills and still have break-ins when interesting events happen.
>>31398636“How do you fight?” you ask Chris, looking over at her. While fit, she doesn’t seem to be in exceptionally good shape or anything and you haven’t seen her do any magic to speak of.“Well, my primary focus is on summoning,” she replies, glancing at you, “But I fight with light weapons, various rapiers mostly. It helps to be able to strike someone and then leave the sword either inside them or summon another one as you need.” She shrugs, “It’s one of the things I learned from my family, so I’m good at it, even if I don’t enjoy it.” “Ah, maybe we can spar sometime then,” you say to her, getting you another look.“You know swordsmanship?” she asks you.“It’s a relatively recent thing,” you say, not wanting to admit that it literally happened yesterday, “But I’m learning fast and I got Ms. Black to agree to help teach me.”“Who?”“The PT teacher,” you say, realizing that almost no one else knows her name. Chris stops walking, staring at you before shaking herself and starting again. “You’re crazy, you know that right?” she ask.“Well a little,” you chuckle, it’s not like you’re ignorant to how the teacher acts, “But I figure it’ll help in the long run, what with me being a target for “gangs”. Speaking of which, what was the story on those?”
>>31399282Chris sighs, apparently trying to remember Kaname’s explanation. “Apparently it’s based on the old witch covens, self-sustaining groups that protected their own. Here it’s a little different, most of them are small and keep to themselves, but the larger ones fight for stronger members, positioning and prestige, with the strongest being the schools representatives. Normally they’d leave people like us alone, but I think that most of us are considered exceptional in some way.” You look at Chris, wondering exactly what she’s exceptional at, when your attention is drawn ahead of you by a cough. Turning, you see a girl dressed in some sort of uniform, with what appears to be a group of delinquents behind her. They’re standing right in your way to the English building. “Well, if it isn’t Mr. John Galt,” says the busty blonde, leaning slightly forward at you, looking down her nose, “I’ve been wanting to meet you so badly.”This chick is giving off nothing but bad vibes and you can see Chris tense next to you. But it’s up to you to respond.>Polite>Snarky>Ignore>Other

>>31399311>OtherWho is John Galt?Yay, references!
>>31399331Who says we can't do it again.
>>31399404It's based off of a book. I can already tell I shouldn't have allowed it.
>>31399404It's from an Ayn Rand book that I was literally too bored by to finish.
>>31399404http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W07bFa4TzM
>>31399331>>31399367>>31399370>>31399405Are you seriously going to do the same thing twice in one day
>>31399331No, let's not do that again.>>31399311>PoliteWe are a perfect gentleman
>>31399404NVM I GOOGLED ITguys just repeating this is literally the dumbest shitstop itwe'll just look stupid
>>31399437Every time the opportunity presents itself.There is no point in having this name otherwise
>>31399437Hope not. That Gag's already getting stale.
>>31399475There was no point in having this name in the first place
>>31399311>PoliteWere this close to school, I don't think they will fight us here....I hope
>>31399485IT was stale before it was thought up
>>31399475No. Please. It's fucking stupid.
>>31399311>PoliteIt is the mark of civilization to be polite to others, and assume the best.>>31399404John Galt is the MC of Atlas Shrugged, the famous novel by Ayn Rand promoting objectivism. I have no idea if there's anything more to "Who is John Galt".In any case, I suspect a little subtlety is called for with this gag.
>>31399514We MAY need to change the name
>>31399503Yeah, it's the only name gag we have unfortunately. Seriously wish we went with pretty much any other name.
>>31399514Every. Time.
>>31399311>Polite, and suggest she reads Atlas Shrugged.
Looks like Polite wins by just a bit. Writing.
>>31399475>>31399544There's a term for this, "beating a dead horse".Perhaps you've heard of it?
>>31399562I'm totally fine with this.
>>31399568If it still looks like a horse, it's not dead enough yet.
>>31399475Not really. I liked the name "John" for us and getting Galt as a surname was a price I was fine with paying to avoid the usual incessant arguing.
>>31399592What we're trying to get through to you is that it hasn't been funny for a long time and it isn't getting any funnier.
>>31399623>muh opinionsThanks for sharing
>>31399592What about when it's a fine, dryish paste mixed into a puddle of rapidly drying mud under a cruel, hot sun?
>>31399638You're welcome
>>31399638aaaand at this point I'm pretty sure the "who is john galt" option was samefaggedfuck off
>>31399592So, how would I extend the metaphor to include eating dead horse steaks?
>>31399670Is it vaguely mound shaped?
>>31399688Muh samefag
>>31399592If you're getting tired of beating the dead hoarse we could switch to a different animal.
>>31399781Maybe a turtle?
>>31399800That's hard on the hands. I say we start beating a fluffy kitten.
>>31399839Kittens break too easily though and lose re-beatability, turtles would provide a nice challenge to truly beat to death.
>>31399905Yes, but the purpose isn't to find a challenge, it's to keep beatin a dead object. And beating a fluffy dead kitten is like punching a pillow. You can keep that shit up for days.
>>31399943Polar bear.
>>31399994Ooh, that's a good one.
>>31399994And we have a winner.
>>31399943I suppose that's a matter of opinion, I find the fun in the challenge, and you, in the beating of the deadness. I wonder what would make a nice middle ground?
>>31400052Polar bear, brah.
>>31399994>>31400011>>31400022>>31400069So we are all agreed on polar bear then?
>>31399994>>31400011>>31400022>>31400069I concede defeat after careful deliberation, turtles are clearly inferior to beat on. You are gentlemen and scholars.
>>31400133I believe so.
>>31399311Well, she obviously knows who you are; she was waiting for you for crying out loud, so there’s little to no point in trying to deny it. But then again, being an ass will only get her mad at you and currently it’s only you, with a couple of various light boost enchantments, and Chris, who you don’t think is quite good enough to take on a dozen witches by herself. Or maybe she is, you don’t know. But what you do know is that politeness at a first encounter never hurt anybody. “You must be Ms. Lydia,” you say with a polite, mostly fake smile, “I was wondering when I’d meet you.”“Ah, so you’ve heard of me,” says the girl, a real smile dancing briefly around her mouth, “May I ask where?”“Riela and Imca mentioned you when I met them this morning,” you say back, smiling politely. “Riela and Imca,” says Lydia, her face darkening slightly, “You’ve met them already?”“Oh yes,” you say, keeping up the polite pretense, “It was a very productive meeting.”The delinquents behind Lydia shift slightly backwards, murmurs going through the group. They’re silenced as she hisses at them, then turns to face you. “Oh really? How…productive was it?”“Imca tried to shoot me in the face after I refused Riela’s offer,” you say, keeping the fake smile on your face, “It got better from there.”Lydia glances at you, apparently unscathed from whatever she’s imagining, and then to Chris, who has seemed to pick up on the fact that you’re currently running a massive bluff based on wording and misdirection.
It is decided then. We will beat the polar bear.
>>31400216“I see,” says the dark-skinned blonde, her attitude dropping off just a tick, “I guess you’d refuse my offer as well?” she tries turning on a little charm here, putting her arms underneath her generous assets, but for one it’s not very convincing and two, you doubt you’d have gone for it anyway. “Yes,” you say, putting your arm on Chris’s shoulder in a familiar manner, “I already have a group of friends, I don’t need more.”The fake mask drops off, revealing some anger beneath it. “Fine the, I’ll be seeing you and your “friends” later,” she says, nodding her head off towards some dorms, her cloak billowing as her group follows her. You breathe a sigh of relief as she walks away, that could’ve gone much worse. Turning, you see Chris is looking at your hand on her arm, a slight blush on her cheeks again. >Say something to Chris.>Ignore it, time for class.>Go somewhere else, you’re not in the mood for class anymore.>Other.
>>31400239>Other (stalk and kill Lydia)
>>31400239>Say something to Chris.
>>31400239>Ignore it, time for class.
>>31400239Smile lightly, don't show how nervous we were"Well, that could have gone worse."
>>31400239>Ignore it, time for class.They can handle themselves for a short bit.
>>31400262>>31400239Kind of in this vein actually,>Other: Ask somebody in the group to keep tabs on her. She is obviously going to be a threat in the future.
>>31400239>Say something to Chris>Then head to class
To do:>Place more wards at home>Create some spybugs>Give each gang member the communication device
>>31400433>>Give each gang member the communication deviceNeed to find a way to get 50 mana for that. Ritual magic or the bullshit ancient magic, whichever.
>>31400239>Say something to Chris.and wrap our arm around her so we can pull her a little tighter. Her constant blushing is cute
>>31400239Looks like you're talking to Chris. Writing.
>>31400239>Say something to Chris."That...could have been better. Don't let her get to you though, okay?also, capped for posterity.
>>31400239“Well that could’ve gone better,” you say to Chris, whom still has a light blush on her cheek. When she doesn’t respond, still looking down at your hand, you realize something’s up. “Are you ok?” you ask, taking your hand off of her.“I’m fine,” she says, just a tad bit too quickly, face turning a little more red. “Are you sure?” you ask, eyeing her skeptically. “Yes…” she looks at you, “no…”You smile and make a “tell me” gesture with your hands. “You…you’re the first boy I’ve spent much time around,” she says, “my father kept them away even when I was young. Then you saw me…” she stops, blushing more.“Oh,” you say, reaching back to scratch your hair awkwardly. “But you were polite…apologized, then you bought me dinner…walked me home like that…” she stops here, looking at you with…nervousness? Despite your inexperience with women, it seems clear that Chris has developed something of a crush on you rather fast and is looking for a response. >Write in.
>>31400912"Thats because I care about you, Chris." But then move your arm and pull away a step or so. "And I care about the rest of the group, too. Chris, you are a wonderful person, which is why I would love to spend plenty of time for you, but I want you to understand that you arent the only wonderful person in my life."
>>31400912"It was the least I could do to make up for my thoughtlessness."
>>31400912>"D-don't get the wrong i-idea or anything, I was just raised t-to respect others!"
>>31401002I second this
>>31400994no. this sounds too much like we're dumping her.>>31401002this is better
>>31401002this is good. Pull her in a little closer too
>>31401002Eh, I'm horrible at coming up with things to say, backing up this guy.
>>31400912How we respond to this could determine if we get our first permanent harem member. But I can't think of a good enough thing to say.
>>31401002there we go.>>31400994Jesus, you trying to break her heart or something? ignore this guy.
>>31401002This, and we say it whilst taking her hands in ours and squeezing them gently
>>31400912Take her hand and gently caress it. Just smile.
>>31401002If we get snuggly with her as we say this, I think we might be able to make her pass out. doooo eeeeeet.
>>31401172We can't let this moment get away>>31401002This but add; "I really like you and I wouldn't want you think anything bad about me."
>>31400994This is probably one of the worst things to say. It makes it seem like we only see her as a friend, which isn't true. And anything that sounds like 'i care about all of you' should only be said when all the girls we should be saying it to are together
>>31401196L-LewdGreat job anon
>>31401214>>31401208>>31401196>>31401109Mmmm yes...

>>31400912combining responses and we have>It was the least I could do to make up for my thoughtlessness. I really like you and I wouldn't want you think anything bad about me.
>>31401245I KNOW, RIGHT? Best feeling in the world.
>>31401260forgot>lets do lewd things
Alright, looks like we're going for the nice guy with a side of handholding.
>>31401307we are the lewdest

>>31401307>no censoringabsolutely disgusting
>>31401225>>31401180>>31401085Of course it sounds that way.I dont like her.
>>31401307>No censorThis is worksafe, god-dammit.
>>31401302Of coarseWe take her hands in ours and squeeze them gently. Then look he in the eyes and say, "It was the least I could do to make up for my thoughtlessness. I really like you and I wouldn't want you think anything bad about me."Sound good?
>>31401307
>>31401336She's been sort of a non-entity in the story so far. Tatsuko and Ms.Black, even Akeno and ???, make a pretty big shadow to try and stand apart from.
>>31401371I dont like Akeno at all either. Or Junko.
>>31401348And then we slowly put her hand on our dick.
>>31401307OH GOD I JUST NOTICED THE WEDDING RING ON THAT GUY'S FINGER
>>31401428I like Akeno, but that's because after her fight outside the House I saw the hint to DxD Akeno. Junko a shit
>>31401336I hope you step on a Lego
>>31401428Nobody likes Junko, Anon. This is not a big revelation.>>31401449JESUS CHRISTAND THERE'S NO SPOILERI JUST GOT FIRED BECAUSE OF THAT SHIT
>>31401460>>31401476I like JunkokindaIf we're taking from that series I woulda preferred the purple hair chick
>>31401428
>>31401460I didnt like DxD Akeno either.Now, if we could get Koneko...
>>31401500Green is best
>>31401504
>>31401526Are we thinkin Orky yet?
>>31401504It's "You're waifu a shit"
>>31401371
>>31401500Red is best. No dispute.
>>31401561She even likes more dakka
>>31401565>It's "You're waifu a shit"AhahahaNo.
>>31401526You're right!Time traveler girl when?
>>31401561We need to be thinkin a bit Orkier, but we'll be gettin choppier, so can't complain really.
>>31401526Green is great. Definitely #2>>31401585Red a shit. I'd rather have Junko.
>>31401500I like show Junko, I don't like this Junko
>>31401680I thought show Junko was really boring actually. At least here she makes for a good decoy antagonist
>>31401650Being green is suffering.
>>31400912"It was the least I could do to make up for my thoughtlessness," you say, giving her a gentle smile. “B-but…”You take her hand in yours gently, causing her to blush even more. “It’s fine Chris,” you say, “I think I get what you’re saying.”This causes her to turn very very red, looking down at the ground as she does so. You smile at her, even you, being approximately three days old, aren’t that nervous around the opposite sex. But then again, you were more or less designed for this job. Looking around, you see that most of the students are in or headed to their buildings, so as much as you would like to let Chris stand there and blush, you have to get to class. But it turns out she doesn’t seem to want to let go of your hand, so you have to lead her into the building, where she lets go of your hand only right before you enter class. Class goes as well as can be expected, being the second day after all and with Chris taking glances at you most of the way through. In what seems to be only a few minutes, the class is called to an end, with you and Chris standing and moving out the door together.
>>31401894Looking around as you step outside, you don’t notice any obvious groups that are looking at you. Chris steps up beside you, having finally calmed down a bit, looking up at you. “Are you going to be ok by yourself?” she asks you, just a little bit of the nervousness still in her voice. “I’ll be fine,” you say, nodding to her. She nods back, turning slightly red again. “I-I guess I’ll see you in PT class?”“Yep,” you say, “I don’t think Ms. Black would appreciate it if I missed class.”This gets a shudder from Chris, probably at the thought of the crazy teacher actually being mad, “Alright, I’ll see you then,” she says reluctantly. It’s clear that you both have to go your separate ways, but you could get one last goodbye i. >Just wave goodbye for now.>Pat her shoulder.>Give her a kiss.>Other>Forgot, +4 Attraction for Chris.
>>31401931>Give her a kiss.
>>31401956Are you trying to kill the poor girl?
>>31401931>Pat her shoulder.
>>31401931>OtherGive her a hug
>>31401931>give her a kissOn the cheek, mind you."Returning the favor from the other night."
>>31401931kiss her on the cheek
>>31401971seconding
>>31401983This.Though she's gonna pass out.
>>31401983you sly dog anon, definitely this
>>31401983I like this
>>31401983I vote this
>>31401983this then walk away immediately.
>>31401983Fakeout kiss is best here.
In this tread did we just overload out harem? Damn our perfect cooking skills and our sexy enchanting magic.
>We started the thread with Cris at 15 >+5 for breakfast>+4 just nowwe only need 6 more. Time to go all out
>>31401983Turnin on dat charm I see, I support this.
Hehe. I wasn't sure what you guys would do for this one. Writing. >>31402099Actually anon, I kinda updated the pastebin in the middle. You're currently at 19 with the +4
>>31402135Did enough people tell you that they love your work. Because I don't think so. I love this quest thread.
>>31402135Could someone compile an image with the descriptions and stats of the girls we know? It's hard to keep track of all the names
>>31402173Seconded.
>>31402173I would also like to see this.
>>31402173>>31402191You... COULD just read the fucking pastebin in the OP. You know, the 'Other Characters' post?Jesus, even when you're being spoonfed, you demand to be spoonfed more.
>>31402095If we get 2 more points from Ms Black during PT we'll be at 5 harem members. 5 is our "base harem count"So we might be able to fill our "base harem" in this one thread.
>>31402214>http://pastebin.com/SCdW9jJiI feel like a blind idiot now
>>31402216We have 7 right now though, thanks to Protag Points.Speaking of which, did you decide if we should "spend" them or whatever to increase that max, Guide?
>>31402260No I didn't. It really depends on what you guys think would be fair, spending 50 to get an extra slot or just having the points gives you the extra one.
>>31402278I think it makes more sense for us to have to spend them.Otherwise, we may end up spending them and then not having enough slots for the current harem.
>>31402278Just having the points "Unlocks" a new slot. But it doesn't go away if we go below
>>31402278How about we balance it? 50 points passive for a slot, or, say, 100 points for permanent increase?
>>31402278I think we should spend em>>31402296that's too complicatedalso having your cake and eating it too
>>31402278It'd be simpler to keep track of if we just spent the points and had a permanent increase.
>>31402278I like the spending Idea as that means that we can't spend them on other things. Otherwise we will be very conservative with extra points.
>>31402292I've been wondering what would happen if we had 7 people in the harem then lost protag points.
>>31401476Actually, I was thinking of Kanami. I dont like Junko either, but she was the one in our harem that I was thinking of.
>>31402304So, having fifty points past 200 opens a slot, but that slot can go away through spending, or we spend 100 points to permanently unlock a slot? Seems fair enough.
>>31402339I don't think we really gave Junko too much of a chance, but we can't give every girl a full chance anyway.
>>31402339she's been even more of a non-entity than Chris. there hasn't been any time to like her yet.
>>31402347>>31402304Why would you ever spend them, then.You would just earmark off 50 as "never spend these" and carry on.If anything, it should be the opposite. Spend 50 to unlock a slot, or 100 passively increases.
>>31402381well, We don't know how much we'll be using Protag points in the future. I get the feeling that they're going to be used much more heavily to augment our abilities and rolls once we're deep in the plot, and we might need those points to be spent. Just thinking.
>>31402424Is that supposed to be a counter point? Because I dont see that as a counter point.
>>31402278I like the current system with the extra it allows the world to be squishier which is part of the aware perk that we initially chose.
>>31402430hey, I'm just spitballing at this point. Nobody ever said these had to be good mechanics discussions; as long as ideas are being thrown out there, it doesn't matter if they're bad ideas. Someone will come up with a winner eventually.
Personally I like the idea of it staying at 5, but permanent members don't count towards it. That way we don't spread ourselves thin.
>>31401931“Yeah,” you say, leaning in closer to her, “See you later.”Chris doesn’t seem to notice your approach until the last second, but by then it’s too late. You land the kiss perfectly on her cheek, nearly the exact same spot where she kissed you the other night. This doesn’t turn Chris red, this turns her a bright scarlet, with her eyes seemingly glazing over as she looks at you, dumbfounded. “For the other night,” you say with a smile, “And as thanks for protecting me.” >Chris attraction +10, total now 29. With that, you leave the still blushing and stuttering girl to head to class, which happens to be summoning class, quite possibly your worst class. But then again, summoning may come in handy if you ever figure out how to become a decent swordsman. Hell Jenkins may even stop giving you shit when you summon him.….Yeah, nah, that’ll never happen. But nevertheless, today was a good day. You gained a lot of points with the girls, made some new friends and scared off a baddie, at least for a while anyway. You should probably get to work on the sword stuff or maybe some offensive enchantments if you want to keep it that way. Walking into summoning class, you turn towards your seat from the day before. You now have a partner....it's Kaede.
>>31402508Of course it is.
>>31402508shiiiiiiet. we ded. she gonna call up a dragon on our asses.
Calling it for the night here, I do need some sleep. So far, my two favorite ideas for the PP and Harem slots have been either the spend fifty/have 100 to gain a slot, or the only have five and you need to level one out to get another girl in. I'll be around for awhile, answering questions, listening to comments/complaints, etc etc.
>>31402508Sounds like fun if we screw up, which we will.
>>31402545I'm curious, do you think you'll be running tomorrow?
>>31402545I prefer the spendit's consistentalso quit summoning class
>>31402545>only have five and you need to level one out to get another girl inI'd be OK with this
>>31402508>...it's Kaede.God. Dammit.
>>31402546Jenkins is gonna try to kiss her
>>31402545Thanks for the great thread Guide, and I like the idea of leveling girls out to free up slots
>>31402580We should use that as a distraction to get the hell out of there.
>>31402545Can girls still gain affection even when slots are full? Wouldn't that just mean we have effectively unlimited slots regardless of what method you choose?Mechanically, what purpose are harem slots serving? Is it supposed to keep us focused on a smaller set of girls? Is it a limiter to the amount of bonus PP we earn a session? If it's the former, I'm not sure it's necessary. We (the audience) already have some pretty strong feelings towards potential members, and would probably gravitate towards a smaller subset of girls anyway. If it's the latter, then it's perfectly fine as it is. All it's doing in that case is increasing your passive gain as you increase in PP.
>>31402676our pp increases based on how many members we have.
>>31402559Not sure, but unlikely. I have to work until 9:30~ and then get back in at 10 am, which combined with sleep, getting ready and general life, isn't a lot of time. >>31402593>>31402563>>31402561So, leveling looks like it's currently winning, but then again you guys aren't a full sample and I'm sure there are lurkers/archive junkies. If you have my Twitter followed, feel free to message me with opinions, can't promise I'll reply to all of them though.
>>31402703leveling forces us to establish characters.
>>31402676Well, there are a couple reasons. One was to keep you mostly focused on a smaller group yes and prevent you from trying to grab every female with a name and character image right off the bat, along with keeping down excessive PP growth, which is something I'm feeling already, gotta get some fights/conflict in. The second though, is that each of the girls has a "Special" ability/skill that will of course be unlocked after progressing through her tree/route/whatever these are. These will provide benefits of various types, especially after we get to fighting.
>>31402775In that case, buying slots and having the girls never leave them makes sense. You'll have a clear limit on your special powers, and if you feel that having too many of those at once would be broken, make it so each successive slot costs more.If girls can graduate past the limit, then your special skills become unlimited. Additionally, there is already a limit on how quickly we can progress girls - your updates. If we try to hit on everything with a vagina, all of them will get very limited affection boosts (barring bullshit ancient magic and super lucky rolls).
>>31402775The reason there was excessive growth was because we were unwilling to spend points that would prevent our harem from increasing. That is why we wanted to save the points as we find certain characters very good options.
>>31402775I like the graduating factor as it pushes our character interaction while still allowing us a larger harem.
>>31402872>>31402878I will take these under advisement, seeing as how the run with where I think I want to take this. However, nothing is firm yet. And if anyone is still around, I have stat blocks (Possibly temporary) for most of your current known girls. I'm torn between just posting them and making you discover them IC.
>>31402965Dont post them, keep them a secret.
>>31402965Full reveal for full harem members.
>>31402988lewd
>>31402965>>31402965If we go for the graduating idea don't have the people high enough affection levels drop or not grow instead they just act like a potential until either they insta-graduate or someone else moves out of the potential block. This would help balance the point issue while allowing crowd favorites to have larger spots and Making it so we could have more girls without losing protag status easily.
>>31403012That was suppose to read: If we go for the graduating idea, don't have the girls with high enough affection levels drop or not grow instead they just act like a potential until either they insta-graduate or someone else moves out of the probationary block. This would help balance the point issue while allowing crowd favorites to have larger spots and making it so we could have more girls without losing protag status easily.
I wonder if there's a reason for meta things. So far it only gives me a dark undertone of "you and all you care about will cease to exist in the end"
>>31403335Oh, there's a reason alright.
>>31403406Ok, that's all I needed to hear
Can we use our mana drain power offensively? Like such out the oppositions mana to create a shield? Seems like a win-win situation to me.
>>31403335That's not true at all. Aware characters will continue existing. So, basically, we need to get closer to Akeno and Tatsuko.
