“Wait, full?” You ask as you sonido away feeling odd. “Then why did you say Go juice why?” Because a chunk of your go juice at the end was bitten off. Your maximum capacity as it were has been reduced significantly due to hellfire magical stuff; to that little line.

“That’s distasteful.” You say as your plant fires several silvery arrows overhead.

They streak through the air and slam into small demonic walls formed by magic before detonating. The overwhelming stench of sulfur mixes with rot and you see Caede pull herself out of a portal to her nightmare place. She summons her pole-arm and starts drawing runes of her own. Ryoko coughs as her body hisses steam and starts getting ready for battle, however you are pretty sure her maximum go juice pool was also reduced though you can’t say by how much.

You hear your grace shimmer and you know you can third release, however transforming into your abomination angel form may not actually fix your go juice pool and may only refill your go juice to its current maximum.. Sort of clever really, angels have an advantage over demons so the demons make huge flashy magics which debuff and swarm tactics plus ambushes.

You try to summon your energy and…

Fuck it... We have a 3rd release charge and we're going to just be sitting around for a while after this anyway.

>>33519507
Anon, look at the pic. We need to go for the BIG powers and not just buy every fucking little thing we see. We kill this guy, and we can buy Zero and finally have a nice hunk of oomph for the first time in forever.

They'll expect a sane and rational person to retreat when overwhelmed. Maybe audacity will work here.

>Main note from Patch
>Fanworks ONLY provide SPXP discounts on an upgrade of the contributors choice.
>SPXP can now ONLY be acquired in game.

Intriguing, hopefully this will result in powers that we were otherwise overlooking due to expense becoming alot more tempting.

>>33519442
Lets test out that new discount system and throw our spxp to zero

>>33519600
>>33519639
Errr, impression I was getting was that art from this point onwards would provide discounts.

The 16 SPXP we already have would remain as SPXP.

>>33519600
>>33519639
Thirding Zero

>>33519442
I don't know what do. On the one hand, juice capacity capped at less than 30%. This is going to be a nasty fight.

>>33519673
Real the pastebin.
>You can now invest SPXP to lower the cost. This works more or less identically to the discount option. So for example if you had 5 SPXP and an ability cost 20 SPXP you could lower the cost to 15 SPXP.
It's a separate thing from the fanworks stuff.

>>33519698
I suppose that lock SPXP into an upgrade, but it seems less flexible than simply saving it.

I suppose there is less risk of us just spending it willy nilly and makes the more expensive upgrades easier to reach.

>>33519600
if we're not supposed to buy the small stuff, why even have it there in the first place?

>>33519739
It's for after polishing off big ticket items.

Something we can't seem to do.

Typical Risa ADHD behavior.

>>33519739
To buy it after you finish a path of upgrades. This quest encourages actually getting to the end-tiers instead of buying tons and tons of starter-med powers and never finishing anything.

Azure won't outright force us to stop spending spxp like idiots because agency or something, but just being allowed to do something doesn't make it a good idea.

You can buy the small stuff. However only buying small stuff that bounces off enemies will hurt Risa in the long run and I am trying to encourage people to consider buying the more powerful abilities rather than have the SPXP burn a hole in your pocket.

Buying small stuff is okay and if you enjoy it then go for it. However only buying small stuff just makes the character mediocre at best at everything.

Zero and trying to fight seem to win it?

>100 It’s not like I w-want you to survive or anything you, you R-Risa!

You try to summon an array of ceros but it doesn’t work out too well. You roll to the side as the pillar of hell stuff slams into the ground and carves a deep trench into the earth. You grab Ryoko and throw her into the air before leaping over what was at one point a lovely fountain. You sprint towards the building the possessed man is standing on and start running up the wall.

Sulfur crusted bones shoot out of the pillars on the wall and try to bite down on your ankle but you stay one step ahead of them and launch yourself into the air. A swarm of blades given life and probably abandoned by their parents shoot out of the professor’s mouth. You kick off the air to narrowly avoid the attack and slip into the gap between them.

You spin to deliver a sharp kick to his midsection and see the sparks of a shield coming to life. Your tail shimmers to muck up his fate and the shield sputters and fails due to a one in a million feedback error. Your leg connects solidly with his ribs and you feel the unmistakably sensual sensation of human ribs snapping and breaking under you. You shiver before rolling around his counter attack and raving your claws against the back of his leg. You feel tendons snap piece by piece as you cut the supple meat and feel the warmth of human blood on your hands.

You leap-frog over his back when a massive toothy mouth pops out of the ground to bite you then spin and deliver a perfect knee to his chin. Chunks of white fly out of his mouth and he jolts back at your sudden attack. You see panic fill his eyes as he wonders what exactly is going on with his magic, but you don’t give him a chance to find out. You leap over him and spin to gain speed then slam your heel down on his nose. You frown slightly as his nose shatters under your attack and you realize you won’t be able to feel it through your boot as well as if you had used your naked foot but file that under ‘Stuff Risa Discusses with Jager in an Awkward Bonding Moment’. The file fills twelve computers so it is pretty substantial.

You grab his face and dig your nails in deep, charging your arm with a cero. You feel your energy turn over like an old engine and start tearing the demon possessed human’s face to pieces. You drag him against the roof of the school ripping bloody chunks off his back and leaving a rather lovely scarlet trail behind you. You throw him and fire out the cero detonating it when he gets far enough away. You hold out your arms and catch Ryoko like she were a new bride and nod. “Right, not so bad.” You explain.

You have to dream walk around several lances of hellfire from below as the professor’s students make their way to you. You smell a strange go juice surge from the demon you threw and suspect it is going to try and abandon its meat to come nibble on your toes.

You have a perfect chance to get right out of dodge now however. Do you take it?

Seeing as a 100 Wishbreaker combo accomplished little but pissing the professor off and alerting his subordinates, it seems like we're still being penalized for our actions last thread, which, instead of merely making things more challenging, has made combat completely untenable until we break the curse.

Okay. You managed to stop him from triggering all of his trap with your wishbreaker. You used the 100 to deal enough damage to create a major opportunity to escape which

>[] Go for the demon guy you can see. You can probably fight your way out of this ambush

Accomplished. You fought your way out of the ambush in a big way despite being crippled from go juice being burned, your allies didn't get touched because you managed to take the fight directly to the professor, and delay his allies from jumping you the second the hellfire dropped. You didn't get hurt at all other than what happened as a result of last thread.

>89 Perddy gud roll thar lass

Yeah, this has been a bust. You toss Ryoko into the horde of demons and she starts swinging with joy. However that joy is short lived as her go juice, which normally helps fuel her power and speed, is unable to augment her. Her fist slams into a shield sending sparks of hellfire off onto the grass as she attacks one of the students. Three of the students turn and start bombarding her with hellfire which quickly tears chunks off of her and sends her to the ground.

You sonido after her, deciding to ignore the chance for escape you made, and lock metaphorical horns with one of the demon possessed men. Your leg shimmers and you connect solidly under the demon’s arm and send your kick directly into the demon’s shoulder. It snaps and you roll in the air using the leg under his arm as a pivot to swing out and kick in the demon’s teeth. He goes flying back and you give chase, but stop a few meters away from him as the ground boils and explodes with spikes of hellfire.

You hop back as the ground bubbles up and you start timing the geysers of flame and leap off of the ground using the explosion to help launch you forward. You see the demon casting the hellfire geysers and slam your heel down on his head. His skull caves in, his eyes bulging unnaturally and blood streaming down his meat.

He doesn’t fall however, and instead sends spikes out of his forearm wiggling and branching after you. You roll away from him and use some of your go juice to shapeshift around the bony tree growing from his forearm. As you reform your body you have just enough time to roll around a flying kick from another of the demons, grab his leg, and throw him against the far wall.

Ryoko snarls in pain behind you and you glance back. A quintet of the possessed demons are tearing off her arms. She lays skewered on a spear of some sort as the demons hack away at her, burning her body and slowing her regeneration to near nonexistence. You fire a cero at the group and give her regeneration some time to do its thing as Caede takes position as well.

Your plant fires off a steady stream of arrows at the ground around you and you see several runes form in the brief moment of untime. You leap out of the circle before the small shield snaps shut and start your twisted dance. You kick a demon in the jaw as claws rake against your back. You feel a demon bite down on your leg so you shift your leg to bite back harder. Your tails fan out and become a ball of attack which stab and bludgeon the demons away, giving nine attacks back for their every one.

You knock back the demons and strain to shift your arms a little longer and your teeth a little sharper. You smile as the demons for a circle ready to keep up the fight. They tilt their heads as the massive beating of wings draws your attention back to the roof and you see the professor. Or what was the professor. He is insanely muscular, sloped shoulders, jutting tusks, red skin, burning yellow eyes, and tiny bat wings which create far more lift than they should be able to. He points a massive finger at you and lets out a spit filled curse before launching himself with his over sized arms at you.

If I am reading that right then you are wondering my thought process or something? If I had said "Okay, you escape" then when the demons, who would be unhappy their location was compromised, left there would have been an issue about me railroading the players to leave if they thought they could take them. An issue of agency for the player base basically.

In this instance you created the escape by fighting your way out of the encounter and created a chance for you to get out with little to no effort, then had the choice of not using which the majority seemed to want in the about 15 minutes I left open for voting.

If you want to talk about it more in depth how about we wait till the end of the thread or on twitter or something. Don't want to slow things down.

Shitty. Use Hate.Engine to make the most of it.

To think I was really looking forward to this.

I'm just sitting here wondering what the fuck everyone was thinking.

>This dude could take on a pagan god while he was under heavy restrictions
>We're operating at under 30% power

I think it may have been a combination of certain players getting antsy at not having any combat, and thinking they have a deadline to rush to eat stuff despite being assured that they're ahead of the curve.

>>33522442

I'm not calling you out or blaming you, but that reasoning is close to sunk cost fallacy. I think we can afford to be more careful in the future since we are still ahead of the curve.

But oh well, let's just hope for the best and enjoy the ride.

>>33522274
What you seem willingly ignorant to is that you're encouraging a schism in your player base, between the murderhobos and the diplomacy fags.

By severely penalizing not fighting, it's going to be difficult for any more non combat options to gain traction, because they've just been conditioned that fight equals good.

Furthermore, sometimes people want to actually think about their votes, so penalizing them for not deciding things fast enough seems counter intuitive.

And no this can't wait because, contrary to last threads discussion it seems clear that we're much farther from being on the same wavelength than before.

Haven't you heard? The ride never ends.

>>33522509
>I think we can afford to be more careful in the future since we are still ahead of the curve.
See, that kind of thinking is also dangerous. Being overly careful is what lead to this situation, so people then went full-reactionary and decided to say "fuck caution" and it made things even worse.

If we have an advantage, press it. If we have a severe disadvantage but a chance for escape, leg it.

>>33522585

I'm not saying be overtly cautious, moderation and situational awareness is good in all things.

>>33522585
See that's the big problem.

As seen by the demon casting the spell "you lose" which we weren't given a chance to wishbreaker and is specifically designed to fuck us.and Ryoko over, it's clear that AE is the kind of QM who fucks people over for not playing the right way, but he's inconsistent with what the right.way is.

You've gotta closely examine each post on its own, but still make a decision in fifteen minutes.

It's bullshit.

>>33522742
I disagree. This one is on us.

>>33522742
the passive option isn't always the right one

>>33522541
So the issue is that different players want different things. What I hope would happen is something like this: When you have a chance to ambush someone you want to get got you get them. When you are in a bad situation then talking or just bugging out is also what I hope players want.

But I can not control what the players want, nor am I going to railroad everyone because players shouting agency are the exact thing which is causing all the problems. I am giving everyone enough agency where if they want to shoot themselves in the foot then I will write them walking with a limp for a while. It will make things harder, and while it may not have been the best choice it is the one chosen.

I gave over a 15 minute voting window from writing and locking it. That is a somewhat fair amount of time, more so for something that is more or less a split second decision during a combat scene.

So you are saying I should be a QM who posts super slowly then? That is not enjoyable and honestly this whole exchange is seriously bad I would much rather it wait until the end of the thread so I don't have to pause every time.

>>33522742
You mean the ambush trap? In which you were ambushed after going around poking things? It was not really a roll issue, it was a trap. You walked into it. You got hurt. It was made to fuck anyone or thing with energy which is, you know, everyone.

>>33522344

I wouldn't worry. The candle of frustration from last thread is just now burning itself out.

>>33522958
This thread looks like it's about to be a spraybottle of gasoline getting puffed at the candle.

>>33522855
The thing is that what you're doing is saying "as punishment for not fighting fast enough a week or so ago, not only are you forced to permanently give up a lot of SPXP, now you won't be able to fight at all for the next couple days, and do nothing but lick your wounds and be mad at each other."

And then were surprised when the portion of the audience that is just here to have fun, isn't willing to consider such a grim reality.

People don't want to break a hiatus with running away in terror.

>78 But at what cost? What weird twisty cost?

This is not going quite as well as you had hoped, you think. At some point during today everything sort of took a demony turn. You wrap yourself up in your tails and feel the fluffy glory slowly melt over you. As the sticky meat of your tails turn into bones trailing the back of your thin, lovely dress. Your wings burn as raw delight surges out of you and you smile as your grace parts hum and froth as best they can under the circumstances.

“Caede, plant, would you be so kind as to escort Ryoko out of here?” You ask as you drop a fate breaker into your hate engine slot and vibrate as the world slows down.

Your arm detaches and grabs the muscular demon with the tiny wings and tiny little legs. It’s comical really. Your arm pulls him down and slams his head into the ground disorienting him as you throw yourself bodily into the demon horde. The shield drops and Caede starts to pull Ryoko away and a few of the demons go after her. Your dress lifts slightly and you feel the slimy razor lined tongues which constantly lick and tear at your thighs shoot out. The grab hold of the demon men and pull slicing off their feet. Your tail bones stab out into the stomach of a demon man behind you and you summon your cero. “Come on my funny little things! Look at Risa!”

You see the large demon form a frame with his index and thumbs on both and throw your cero at him to stop whatever attack he is doing. You hear him gurgle something about pantyless fearer, those damn tusks make it impossible to hear him, as your cero detonates and sends a shockwave of destruction through the building.

Caede uses that chance to pull Ryoko free and Hameru fires a few arrows of silver at the demons as she retreats behind a wall and then his gojuice vanishes, likely dream walked away. You pull one of the demons under your dress and feel the teeth, tongues, eyes, and claws start tearing away at him. A spike of fire shoots out of your dress making you step back and stab him from behind with your detached hand. You smile but pause as you see the large demon from before with his arms glowing with cero energy which doesn’t make any- Oh! Envious Mirror! Right, okay. That makes more sense now.

You feel cero infused fist slam into your jaw sending your brain rolling around in where ever it lives. You fall back and as the second one slams into you your top unlaces and a massive mouth bites down on the fist. You feel your teeth tearing into the demon’s flesh and smile as he is stuck there. He smiles back and you realize what he is doing far too late to stop it. The cero detonates inside you sending you back in tiny chunks. Your body reforms but the demons are already on top of you. Your arms and legs are pinned and as the massive muscular demon approaches, his hand hissing as his own demonic regeneration takes over, you smile. “Knock knock.” You say happily.

The demon slams his fist into your stomach, probably a fetish of his, and you cough up blood and spit but just laugh. “I said bloody well knock knock you knob head. You ain’t going to play then neither will I.” You explain.

The demon slams another fist into your stomach and you feel your ribs crack. You laugh and squirm under the attack, small tears forming. “Knock knock!” You say again.

“Who’s there?” One of the demons inside a meat suit asks.

“Radio.” You reply.

“Radio who?” He asks as the top heavy demon grabs a rusty looking clever

“Radio not here I go!” You shout.

You dream walk away from their grasp, then as soon as you reform you dream walk again, and then a third time before sonidoing away as fast as you can. You fly above the city and make your way back to the shrine where no one is around to see your touchdown. Your wings play about and you sniff the air to get a feel for where everyone is. Caede is somewhere around back, Ryoko is in the infirmary getting treated by Hiroshi, and all the rest of the players are out minding their own. The corn hasn’t grown yet, and all is the same with the world.

It got hellfired. If you had read the Q&A session, you'd know this. Hell, if you'd just payed attention to the earlier demon fights, you'd know what happened.

I just realized something.

Risa is apparently good at science. Or at least math. Why can't she be her own science person? I guess the crazy gets in the way? Some psychological block like stairs or mobius strips?

>>33524031

Probably division of time vs. getting gud. Also, while she might know physics and stuff that would befit a deserving tenured college professor, she might now know enough about esoteric spiritual stuff to be useful.

>>33524031
I think it's just that Risa is a lady of action. Sitting around working on science isn't very fun to her.

“Yeah, knock knock jokes are the best.” You agree as you send out wave after wave of delight throughout the shrine.

Yeah, too bad you didn’t say Risa though. “What? Nothing works with Risa, you know that you silly monologue.” You explain making your way over to Ryoko.

Well, I mean. Oh, I got one. Knock Knock.

“Who’s there?” You ask.

You open the door to the shrine and step in. Your gentle smile is almost contagious to the shinigami as you walk past them. You give a small not here and there and open the door to the medical wing. Risa.

“Risa who?” You wonder making Hiroshi look up from Ryoko.

Her body is a mess with black disgusting stitching holding her body together. She is breathing heavily and several healers are around her augmenting her greatly weakened healing speed. Hiroshi looks at you concerned. “Risa Schrodinger right? Ah, Ri-chan, you look really nice. Hey, hey, is that a new dress?”

Risa her go thatta way!

You frown for a moment as the unconscious Ryoko slowly breathes a little easier under the careful watch of the healers. You glare and Hiroshi looks confused. “Son of a bitch that was a good one.”

“Ah thanks Ri-Chan, you finally get I am serious right?” He asks.

You walk over to Ryoko as your brain pats you a little. Or, oh! Risa new arse for 9999.99 after I come back here and kick it! “Monologue, where the hell were you back in that fight?” You ask looking down at Ryoko and carefully sniffing her go juice while infusing her with delight. Organizing my collection.

You ignore that statement and look back at Hiroshi. “Is she going to be okay?” You ask.

“Ah, her rei-“ You must be making a face as he pauses and clears his throat. “Her energy is slowly coming back. Whatever hit her seems to have damaged her energy parts a little. The problem with Ryoko is she is a pretty slow started so sudden attacks which cut her off at the knee like that are hard for her to deal with.” Needs a while to get mad enough. “The emergency treatment was done well, if a bit brutally. Ah, it probably saved her life.” Caede is the best field medic

“So how long will she be out for?” You wonder.

“Until her energy reasserts itself. Probably around morning she will be back on her feet.” He explains.

Seems your go juice will heal pretty fast. Now what?

Just to confirm, you are still in third release. So if you wanted to go show off to Azzy or some other third release activity then now would be a time to do it before your delight finishes burning.

You decide to make sure AureolinVenus isn’t lynched by… her? players for once again not getting senpai to notice Ryoko. You sit on a chair careful to mind the dress and wait. You know, you don’t really wear dresses that often, always those torn up jeans. You should consider fixing that. “Monologue, my pants are tight enough that it shows my legs far better than any dress might.” You reply.

But pants covered legs are not the same, besides Ryoko would like it. “Lass would keep trying to get a peek at my knickers. That just isn’t kind.” You point out.

“Ri-chan.” Hiroshi says drawing you out of your momentary conversation about bottoms. “I know it’s boring but could you be a little quieter? Some of the patients get uncomfortable when you talk to Mo-chan.” Hiroshi explains.

The bloody hell did he call me? I have a fine name, it’s- “Right, sorry love. Just having a moment.” You explain.

Your third release wears off during the night as you wait for Ryoko to wake up. The voice in your head watches the telly while you get pretty good at making folded paper art. You are working on the last building of the Paris skyline when Ryoko wakes up. Over the course of the night your go juice… ports? Holes? I am not sure what to call them really, have been recovering. One thing you learned is hellfire seems to work on a percentage system with rounding. It may hurt you but you will not reach exactly 0 ever just from hellfire. It makes sense, prolonging suffering of human souls in hell by constantly burning them but leaving them unable to fully die.

Anywho, Ryoko opens her eyes and rubs away her sleepies. She looks over at you and smiles. “Sensei? What are you, like, doing here?”

“Waiting for you to not be close to dead. I assembles several impressive paper sculptures. Sadly most were lost when Thomas thought it would be adorable to pretend to be Godzilla in most of them and it was so I forgave him.” You explain remembering your plant lumbering through the cities.

Ryoko blushes as she shyly smiles. “You waited for me. Sensei, like, you didn’t have to do that.” She explains.

“Sure I did. You weren’t looking to well and I wanted to see if I could take your-“ You start. Worried. You were worried, that’s what she wants to hear. “Worried. That’s what I mean, worried.”

She looks down at her toes and goes red smiling and nearly giggling despite her wounds. “’Side.” You add on. “It’s sort of my fault I threw you to the demons after your go juice got burned. Sorry about that.”

“No!” Ryoko replies looking up at you. “No, I am sorry I couldn’t be more help to you. I mean you were, like, counting on me and I let you down. I promise I will do better next time!” Ryoko says enthusiastically.

Disappointing reading it, but understandable considering how great of a disadvantage we were at.
>Ryoko
Her players are probably blaming themselves for not telling the god of insanity that her plan was bad. We should give her the option of opening the box around her or not.
Reading the thread, I'm pretty happy with the decisions. Cheers guys.

No, they are probably blaming AureolinVenus for railroading and then calling each other waifufags

Which one? 42, the LT, or Bill Nye?

It's funny because it's true in both universes

LokImean 42. The new 42 was clearly just a hollow in the right place at the right time, and not a Loki who planned the whole thing.

“Ryoko, I got a box from the Fallen Angel of Lust. Azzy, you remember azzy right? From when we went to the beach.” You say.

“The sexy redhead with piercings?” She asks.

“Got it in one. She gave me a box about certain issues which may have presented themselves and I was wondering if you wanted to help me do this whole unboxing thing.” You explain.

“Sure, I guess?” She offers.

You pull the box out of your pants and set it on the bed. Ryoko scoots back and crosses her legs and you do the same across from her. You carefully lift the lid and immediately a massive wave of lust washes over the building. You see the women shift uncomfortable while all the blokes in the building suddenly become very interested in tying their shoes. Of course, you the rock the waves crash futilely against so you are not too sure what’s wrong with them.

The cry of an insect fills your ears and a cicada lands on your nose. Ryoko looks at you glassy eyed and you tilt your head. “Sensei. I feel so hot. What is that?” She wonders.

“A cicada. Azzy does fine work.” You note.

You reach into the box and pull out a rubber ball with leather straps on the side which seem to be made to fit around something. You of course know that this is a ball- “That cheeky cunt! Challenge accepted then I say.” You explain.

Wait, hold on. What do you think that is? “It’s a squash ball. Bit odd looking but I have been out of the game for a few decades. Have to get a squash racquet, but I’ll have you know in my university days I was quite the force to behold.” You explain.

You put the gag “Squash ball.” You correct. There is silence as we stare at each other. Well, more like you stare up at your brain and I just remain an abstract series of words/voice. Fine, you place the oddly shaped squash ball back in the box and root around for more things.

Ryoko, her body used to unusual floods of hormones due to her constant teenagerness, manages to resist the azzy wave and start digging around in the box. She pulls out a small stack of magazines and opens one up. The picture inside makes her suck in air sharply through her teeth. You look at the cover and see it is called “Fluffy Tails Quarterly.” There are a few more like “Ab Love”, “So You Think You Know Butts?”, "Barely Molted Cicadas", and "This is where Things get Weird Vol. 4"

Fine reading material to be certain. You find various cuffs, insects, bile stored in jars, and such until at the very bottom you find an open leather ring. You pull it out and look over the device. It seems to have a latch on the back which closes but doesn’t open. Lining the inside of the leather ring are small magenta metal nubs which radiate raw azzy lust energy. Evidently whatever it is injects pure lust into people if they have it on.

Ryoko looks up at you and then the device in your hands. “Sensei? What is that?” She wonders.

“I think some sort of trap for catching stuff.” You explain tilting your head.

You are just. But you. How do you function?

It's not a squash ball. I think it's some sorta eyepatch thing. You know, if you don't have a fake eye? The ball occupies the vacant space in the eye, while the leather straps tie around your head.

Hrm... On the one hand, I kinda want to get Jager in on this. On the other hand, this was to make Ryoko feel special here.

Hopefully she'll stumble into things halfway through and join or something...

“That sly cunt. Hold on.” You say pulling out the cellphone you took from Mendel and is probably super bugged so she can listen to you. “You think I give a rat’s arse if the slag bugged the phone I stole?” You ask. You flip it open and turn it on and into the dial tone you shout “You think I’m scared of you? You creepy voice on the other end of a phone who needs to get laid so bad she messes with innocent Risa cats? Get fucked, you Jager touching Sin-Fin sadding jerk person.” You lick your lips. “And so’s your dad!”

You hear blank sounds from the phone then realize you don’t actually know Azzy’s number. That… that could complicate her challenge of a game of squash. You hang up the bulky phone and wonder how exactly you should prove your athletic skill over a cripple now?

[] Forget it, talk to Ryoko more about something

Risa is pretty sure the ballgag is a squash ball. She thought that was a challenge from Asmodeus because why else send someone a squash ball, and Risa is somewhat confrontational.

The collar she doesn't really understand, but I figured I may have been unclear in the options so I am sort of presenting this as a redo plus you get to maybe yell at Mendel which is sort of all the worth it.
>>33526036
It is a collar most likely.

Then it will look great on the wolfu

>>33526134
She just woke up, but her regeneration is back online so she is probably fine.

>>33526157
Not with that attitude we won't!

Looks like most want to do something with the collar which never comes off and also to go see Azzy? A little hard to merge those so some better consensus would be more welcome.

>>33526240
I was wanting to do something with the collar, but I guess I'll change it to go see Azzy. We can ask her about the thing and do squash.

>>33526176
I think it's meant to be worn on us.

Or Sin-Fin.

People who can't feel lust normally.

>>33526240
Eh, see Azzy first.

The collar seems like the kind of thing we need an instructional guide for.

Truth be told, I want the collar just so we can then go to Survival mission from the point of view of the others as they try and avoid Night of the Horn Risa.

>>33526294
If shit goes bad, we can just shapeshift out of it. It's no big deal.

>>33526240

>>33526380
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's magic doesn't work like that.

Even if we chop off our own head, which we could survive, there still wouldn't be a way to get that collar off without breaking it.

Which seems worrisome.

You decide such a challenge must be answered. You grab your box, leaving Ryoko with the magazines, and storm off with your supplies. “Sensei? Where are you going?” Ryoko asks.

“To right a wrong!” You reply.

“I’ll just, um, hold on to these I guess?” Ryoko asks.

You put on your fighting trousers, your battle knickers, and your most aggressive top before releasing and flying over to Asmodeus’ place. You throw open the door, walk past the constantly organizing, torturing, dying, living, birthing, eating, dancing, etc. masses in the main part of the club and throw open the back door.

Asmodeus looks up from her sofa, her outfit a pair of very short shorts and a long T-shirt. There is a mug of cocoa in front of her and she seems to be reading a book. You storm over to her, reach inside your pants, and pull out a white glove. You throw it on the ground in front of her sofa and cross your arms.

She looks down at the glove, back up to you, then furrows her brow. “Hold on, what’s this now?”

“Pick it up. So our duel may begin.” You explain.

She blinks then dog ears her book and sets it aside. She steeples her fingers and considers you for a moment. “Sorry, could you give me a mo’? You sort of go off on these logic trains which are hard to keep up with.”

“Oh, no problem.” You reply shutting the door and grabbing a seat. “Bit chilly in here.”

“Well when summer comes you miss winter so I thought I would recreate it for a little bit. How rude of me, would you like some hot chocolate? Or heated spiced mead?” She asks a small tray presenting itself.

“Oh, that would be lovely thank you.” You say grabbing a cup of honey mead and sipping it. The warmth spreads into you filling you up despite the cold back room.

“Okay, so you are obviously accepting a duel of some kind but I don’t know what sort.” She calmly analyzes. “Some context might help.”

“I opened the box.” You reply as if that explains it all.

“And that is a challenge somehow. The magazines? I don’t think there is anything like that in them. Maybe the collar? What was it that set you off?” Asmodeus taps her fingers together for a few moments before shrugging. “Alright, you will have to explain it to me.”

You pull out what you call a squash ball and set it down on the table. She looks at it then back to you. “You want me to gag you?”

“You thought just because I missed a few years I would miss it? But small and I don’t remember the fluttery parts but I still know a squash ball when I see one.” You explain sipping your drink.

She sighs. “A squash ball? Like the sport? I suppose technically you could also mean the vegetable, but I highly doubt it. Risa that is not a squash ball.”

“What? Course it is.” You reply nodding. “Squash ball, right there.”

“No Risa that is a gag.” Asmodeus explains. “A ball gag. Why would I challenge you to a game of Squash anyway?”

“Dunno.” You answer.

“Well, this is terribly embarrassing for you. Want me to just go back to reading, we can pretend you never stormed in here?” Asmodeus asks.

“That’s sweet of you.” You note.

“Well, what can I say? I’m just so sweet on you.” Asmodeus says.

I'm sad that there's no squash. Like a farmer on a bad season I am.

>[x] Actually I had a question about something
The collar. Right. Noticed that it doesn't seem to be the "come off" type of thing. If I were to put that on, should I expect to black out until it burns through all the nubs and then I'll vaguely remember having fun or is it going to be some other type experience?

I just remembered something I wanted to do before the week break.

Pull the strawberry shirt out of our pants and hold it up in front of Azzy to see what she looks like wearing it. I bet it looks good.

>>33526886
Did we want to do that?

Alright, give it a try.

Might be nice to give her a present.

“I was all excited for squash too.” You say.

“Well, maybe some other time.” Azzy replies very Snazzy like.

“I had some question about that collar. If I put it on would I remember anything? Would the charges burn out? Would it make me beholden to you in some kinky sex thing?” You wonder.

“That isn’t even close to what the collar does.” Azzy replies. “As I said before I am uncertain how to restore your sex drive. The collar works on those with a sex drive and as for running out.” Azzy presses her lips together. “It doesn’t at all really. Well, I suppose eventually all energy will sort of flounder off because of entropy and the like, but not at any noticeable level and not for a very very long time. It is a collar which doesn’t come off and helps liberate your inhibitions. Then it charges desire and makes them all tingly. I found the parts to it somewhere in storage, charged it up, and thought you might find a use for it.”

So it is not a turn on sex drive collar. “Hm, I see.” You process the information as you pull out the shirt.

You walk over to her prone form and press it against her. It suits her fine, everything would probably look good on her you think, but you are uncertain about the size. Asmodeus for her part simply lets you do your strange things while waiting for you to make up new thoughts.

[] Ask her something else
[] Leave, you know all you need to
[] Other, please specify

>>33527075
Not necessarily asking Azzy as much as you, but lemme just see if I understand this right.

The collar would go on someone who already has a sex drive, and it loosens them up? So I guess it would go on Jager since she's all in denial and stuff all the time?

>>33527075
I like Azzy. She gives good gifts.

>[x] Leave, you know all you need to

>>33527075
Wait so it won't work on us?

Then we might as well just save it for later. I don't think Jager really needs it, I'd rather she be helped out of her shell the hard way.

Even if I'm pretty sure she's straight.

>>33527139
It could, certainly if you could get her to wear it. Or you could just force it on her I guess.

However Ryoko would also really, really like it since she has this whole "Sensei dominate me" thing going.

Shiba would also enjoy it probably and it might make her like you a lot more.

Hiroshi would feel like a teenager again, Caede might get a second domain from it, and all sort of things could happen.

It is an artifact crafted by an unholy pillar of one of the deadly sins. It could go on a bunch of people/things and do a great number of stuff that even Azzy may not totally know because, again, it is actually a pretty powerful thing

>>33527211
>Even if I'm pretty sure she's straight.

>Jager: Devoted(loves). Spoils you. / Loyal / Find your fluffy tails most interesting

>>33527075
Ask if she can do anything for Sin-Fin, who is Eve, should Sin-Fin wish for something to be done to her.

Or was God thorough in making sure there was nothing for Asmodeus to add.

>>33527230
Oh shit. So this thing's an actual thing, huh?

De-dildofying Hiroshi is really tempting, though it would probably just piss off Ryoko even more that he got the thing from the box and she didn't...

Caede second domain thing sounds cool. I guess.

>>33527282
If Azzy can't do anything for us, I'm willing to bet she can't do anything for SF.
