To demonstrate, she whiffs her rapier in the air a few slices in front of her. Suddenly, the spectator who was standing a bit too close behind her puffs into smoke!

And in his place.
Is a fuzzy ball.

She rolls him onto the top of his foot and kicks it over to you.

"Look, if I get hurt too much, that's all that will happen. See? I'll be fine." She looks down at her rapier, examining the guard.

You knead the ball a bit in your hands before tossing it aside. It makes several groans as it rolls across the brick training court.

"Sorry to tell you this lass, but you have gone and let your guard down."

You draw, spin, and fire.

>Stored roll from last thread: 90

The green projectile spirals in her direction, her eyes snap upward at the last minute to notice it mere inches away from her.

"Sorry Lass, but the first rule of anything for me is: Win at everything I do."

Her rapier quickly raises from its resting position, whistles in the air several times.
And the bullet is cut into eight pieces, all of which fly in separate directions around her. Which cause all the spectators around her to burst into balls of fluff as they fly into the crowd that had gathered.

"Hmph, maybe I need to teach you some rules of my ow-"

She thinks THAT was your attack, cute. Before she can even finish that sentence, you have already tackled her and began assaulting the ears on her head with scratches and tickles.

"HE-Wh-AHAHAHA STOP, NO , PLEASE"

You continue your assault, maybe this will make her think twice about duelin' you again.

Minor correction: we get critical successes on weapons we're proficient with.

>>33921169

Are we proficient at tickle attacks?

>>33921220
No, sadly, we are proficient in swords and pistols.

>>33921220
>>33921251
I will add: I'll gladly allow fist and hand attacks to count toward criticals if you train it. Including petting and tickles.

>>33921305
....Anons, you know what we must do.

We must train in the art of petting.

Where's Keiko?

>>33921064
>>33921169

So we don't get critfails except to counteract crit successes, which are only a possibility with tasks we're highly proficient at? That sounds about right for the kind of setting this is.

>>33921305
Fuck swords and pistols, petting is the ultimate weapon when dealing with parasites, It must be their weakness!

"HAHAHAHA, STOP, PLEASE."
"As if I would, ye wished for a duel, did ye not?"

The soft tips of skin roll and bend under your fingertips, her arms and legs flail and kick about wildly, but are no match for the superhuman strength you have found yourself imbued with.

A light pressing feeling is against your legs. It's the fuzzy mass clinging to her lower-back. It's now flailing about as wildly as her arms as legs.

She continues to laugh, and squeal. Normally a man would have to pay to make a woman sound this way, but you make special exception this one time.
"Ms. Fritelli!" one of the spectators shouts, "Are you okay?! Should I-"
You laugh, "You wouldn't interrupt a duel, would ye? I'm sure she would feel far more ashamed at knowing that someone had to come to her aid."
Someone holds the spectator back, the assault on her fuzzy extremities continues.

"HahahH HAH HAHAH, NO NO, NOT THAT HAHAHAH, WAIT, LET ME- HEHHEHAH, LET ME CATCH MY- HAHA"
"Tap out, lass!"

"OK- HAHAH, O-HAHA"

Her hands are wildly slapping the concrete. You release her from your vice grip, her form remaining sprawled out and panting.

You look at the spectators that have gathered, they all look shocked. Most of them unable to even speak.

"What?!" you ask, "What'd I do?"

Suddenly, a green bolt hits your chest, ripping apart some of your coat.

"Hey! What-"

"hah..hah..anything...to...win, right?"

I am further confused, these parasites truly are an enigma

>>33921552
>>33921665

Changing my vote to >>33921610 + Laughing

>>33921686
It probably depends on who's being tickled, as well as the particular type of demihuman she is.

>>33921686
That just means we gotta experiment more, also we are edging on shirou levels of dense

>>33921746
We were certainly edging that maid girl.

>>33921806
We really are a monster aren't we? Too bad ol' Jack is still in his own little world where gold is worth anything and guards need bribing

>>33921746
Yeah, we should really be less dense after we've had a day or so to get the basics of this world down. Our character isn't actually retarded.

Obfuscating stupidity on occasion would be fair game though if we can use it to our advantage.

>>33921552
>>Laugh, for that IS the pirate way!
>>Draw your own pistol and fire back

>>33921854
Lets not do this, having no idea how bad our actions are lets us be truly innocent, besides I like the idea that we can accept magic shit where people turn into fuzzy balls when they die and magic guns but we don't understand the soft fluffy things on the peoples heads and asses.

>>33921909
No, that's really stretching the bounds of belief. Like, anime protag levels of denseness. I CAN accept him not quite getting why everyone is so shocked when he goes after tails and ears, though.

>>33921945
This is a universe full of catgirls and the likes, nigga this is anime land, and we just got dropped into the protag slot

>>33921972
More like we plunged headfirst.

>>33922037
I know that, I'm just hoping in vain that he doesn't become even more of a retard.

>>33922050
I'm hoping Announcer doesn't do that to us, yeah. It's funny for a while, but eventually it would get really grating.

>>33921945
>>33922050
Too be fair our two main defining characteristics so far have been
1: Pirate of the highest caliber
2: Dense as a slab of steel

>>33921909
That doesn't really work when we're in control and we know full well. It's fine on a character written to be naive, but here it's kind of That Guy-ish

Also, having to play an imbecile gets really dull really quickly. There's a reason ultradense harem protagonists are generally frowned upon.

>>33922075
Our denseness has been fairly inconsistent, honestly. He's adapted to certain things about this place extremely quickly when they've been put in front of him.

I'd much prefer a fairly bright character who just has a tendency to run his assumptions into the ground. Still get to make dense mc jokes, but we can stop before they get tedious.

"Har, you got me Lass, Well-played. But all the same-"

Draw, spin, fire.

"No good deed goes unpunished."

The green bolt strikes her jacket, causing it to rip, tear, and deform.
Until it completely explodes off of her! Leaving her complete bare.

"AH! MS. FRITELLI!" The same spectator shouts, stepping forward, she drapes a blanket over her.

You see now that the spectator from before was that maid you examined the hair of earlier. She wraps a blanket around her exposed form.

The spectators are murmuring and talking, maybe that will set them straight if they have any similar ideas.

Suddenly, there's a sharp tug at your hear.
"That's enough of that. Let's go." Atsuko says, seemingly appearing from no where.
"Good to see ya, Mrs. Killjoy, but whar exactly are we heading?"

"Anywhere but here, I can't seem to leave you alone for a minute, so maybe I can find a merchant to sell you to."
"So harsh, Lass. I would like a drink, myself."

"WAIT!"

The blanket-wrapped woman darts to her feet.

"He can't go yet! The whole reason I brought him here was to train him for the battle!"
Atsuko isn't amused, "If that's why you brought him here, why didn't you just send him to battle?"
"Oh come on! It's not every day I get to fight a legendary hero! Can't I just have a little fun?"
"That didn't quite look like 'fighting' to me, but whatever. He can go where he wants, I don't care."

Atsuko storms back into the spectators in a huff. Fritelli adjusts her wrapping slightly. Her and the maid approach.

"So, you seem ready for battle. Let's say we both fix our clothes and hit the field, yeah?"

"Yar, But only if ye answer some questions about this whole 'battle' thing. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea just yet."

"I wasn't going to throw you into a battle without telling you everything. Come, let's go back to the armory and you can ask anything on the way."

You both walk by the slowly parting crowd toward the armory. With the maid following a few steps behind you.

"First thing is first," you begin, looking toward the pink-haired maid, "What was yer name again?"

"Oh! Right, I was going to introduce yourself, until, you, um."
"That's not important, just spit it out."
"Alicot Ajus, Sister of Aligot Ajus and one of the top maids at the castle." She does a short bow.

Right, you remember Aligot mentioning that.

You turn back to the blanket-clad woman,
"So what was that back there with the fuzzy ball of pudding? You said that was the worst thing that could happen to you?"

She lets me open the door for her, keeping her hands tight on her blanket.
"That's right, while you're here, and everything is calm and peaceful, that is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. That guy I cut up will turn back to normal in an hour or so after a short rest."

I just realized, we need a battle cry.

"So how does that work? I'm used to people dying when they get stabbed."

She laughs, "Picture it like being behind a big stone wall, with your body on one side, and your soul on the other."

That's an odd thing to think about, but you can picture it.

"Damage to your body can still happen, but your body can't truly die if your soul is in perfect condition. Death, as we view it, is a result of the body being unable to support the soul."

We approach the armory, the maid opens the door for the both of us.

"This works in reverse, too. Your body's well-being is linked directly to the well-being of your soul. So when our bodies are exhausted, they just become like that for a few hours, being small helps regenerate and heal it faster."

That makes no sense to you.

She picks up a rod laying on the armory table.

"We refer to that stone wall that separates the soul and the body as the 'Barrier'. And this,"

She whips off the blanket, revealing that she is now wearing an exact replica of the suit she wore when dueling you.

"Is a 'Barrier Jacket'. It takes the damage that your body would have taken. It's like an intelligent suit of armor."

You feel perplexed, but you can still picture this in your head.
"Why doesn't everyone use one, then? Why even have this fuzzy ball thing?"

"Oh, they're very hard to keep from disintegrating, I trained for years to be able to use mine. I guess you're strong enough to just pick one up and use it."

She goes into the back and comes out with a fresh new coat, the second you take the one off your back, it disintegrates immediately.

"So, about ready to hit the field?"
"Wait! you didn't answer why I'm fighting!"
"It's for practice, and glory, nothing more than that. I'm sure you will dominate the battlefield once you're there."

"Aye think I'm good. Got my pistol, got my sword, got my-"
You're missing it.

You turn to the maid, "Yar, young lass, before I depart, can ye run over to the tavern, or bar, or wherever and fetch me a small flash with the strongest alcohol ye have?"

Fritelli looks at you like it was the strangest question anyone has ever asked, Alicot just bows and runs off to get it. Sweet lass, she is.

"Now, while we're waiting. Maybe you can tell me what the goal, what I should be doing, or better, what my reward for all this, is?"

Fritelli's blank stare turns into a heavy sigh.
"You mean, besides free weapons, free food and drink, and board?"

You laugh, "I got most of that at my old job, I'm sure there's something else ye can offer?"

She looks around, confused, "I don't have much else to offer, um."

A thought hits you, looking at her face, but you press it to the back of your mind, because you would rather have:

>"A working wage! With real currency!"
>"How about my own dwelling?"
>"Or maybe, my own crew!"
>"Something, Aye'll think of it eventually!"

>>33924330
>"A working wage! With real currency!"
>"How about my own dwelling?"

We'll take it all. A salary, a crew, and a governorship.

>>33924330
>>"Or maybe, my own crew!"
A crew that you can figure out the parasite problem with.

>>33924330

It's all well and good having bed and board, but a pirate needs to be able to go out on the town and spend his money for it to be real, and real shops will demand real coin.

Of course pirates pay for things, if they didn't pay for things they wouldn't need to steal all that gold and cargo in the first place.

>>33924629
When they rolled in to port, pirates tended to be all about flashing the cash, historically. The thieving side of things happened at sea. To pay for shit on land. Sort of like how they were pretty meticulous and fair about divvying up spoils amongst the crew.

>>33924815
Who said we were stopping petting the fluffy things? We're just not going to keep up the pretense that they're parasites. They're still obviously a potent weak point for these strange people.

If we do it often enough, we may just decide we like doing it.

>>33924837

"All of it!" You exclaim, "If I really am some kind of special hero to you all then I want to feel like one."

"Like maybe a real wage! One that uses real currency that's actually worth something!" You can't believe you're saying that about gold, but here you are.

"Or how about my own crew! A band of misfits that answer to me, and only me!" This is something you've dreamed about for quite some time.

"And! And finally! I want my own dwelling! No more bunk beds, or cotts, or rooms that I share with a dozen other people!"


Fritelli looks exhasperated by the time you finish. As she should, she shouldn't have expected you to work for cheap.

"Um... I can probably get the wage thing done pretty easily. But, your own crew?"
"Yar! Maybe you can think of some lackeys that need a good lickin'."
"I don't think any of them want to be licked, but I'll see what I can do.. And your own dwelling, don't you need to be with the person who summoned you?"

Wait, what?

"I think you need to sleep in the castle, because the princess summoned you, right? I think heroes recharge overnight by sleeping near the person they're contracted with. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll see what I can do."

You better be wrong, Lass!

The door flings open, and the maid walks back in, holding a small, iron flask.

"Um, I think this is the toughest stuff they had, I don't know it means, but the bartender said this is what he uses to kill cockroaches."
"Sounds great!" You yell, grabbing it and taking a swig.
Oh yeah, that's the good stuff.

Not quite, but it's not something most would do the first time they meet someone.

So its more like handholding?

"I don't think any of them want to be licked, but I'll see what I can do.. And your own dwelling, don't you need to be with the person who summoned you?"
They don't even know who technically summoned him. Isn't there three people who might be the "summoner"? And would that mean he has to sleep with all of them?

>>33925038
he's already had it explained to him that they're tails, not parasites. Ears can't be far off, especially when...

Fritelli walks you a short distance away from the castle, out here there are arenas, courts, and all sorts of training areas.

"So, how far away is this battlefield?"
"We're almost there. Be patient."

You step into a clearing, and from here you can hear the sound of fighting in the distance.

They're so far away that they look like ants, but you can make out several rows of foot soldiers clashing. In the middle of their lines is a-
What looks like, some kind of training course? It's unclear from this distance, several people appear to be running it right now.

She leads you to a small clearing with tents and a campfire.
There's a rather large tent in the center of the clearing, surrounded by guards and knights who are all chatting and adjusting their armor. Slowly you both walk up to it.

But not before you hand some of your winnings to the nice guard who looked directly at your face.


"...And that's what friends are for, right?"
"Uh, of course. But this is the princess' tent, I don't"
"It's fine! Just keep it for later! He might be back here eventually."

Fritelli looks back to notice you talking to the guard, she grabs your shoulder and pulls you into the tent with a sigh.

>>33925950
I see even Fritelli is getting exasperated with us pretty quick.

It's going to take a more even-tempered person than her or Atsuko to handle us.

>>33926010
Kids handle stupid shit pretty well, lets steal one

>>33925950
This guard will be our first mate

>>33926176
>Let's steal a baby!
Let's not.

We better do amazingly well on the battlefield, or they're going to murder the shit out of us.

But if we do well enough and become invaluable, they can't do a damned thing.

>>33926248
Kids aren't babies. Kids are kids

>>33926248
>baby
gross

>murder the shit out us
Can't happen we are some immortal or some shit
also we have super strength I think

>>33926248
Well, if we're a hero we automatically have ridiculously haxx ability compared to all their regular soldiers going by the show.

>>33926233
That sounds like a good idea, actually.

>>33926285
Everybody has super strength, and it IS possible to die, but the "wars" are regulated where there is no danger.

"Princess Biscotti, I have come to bring more reinforcements."

A brown-haired girl sitting behind a table with a large map scrawled across it stands up.

"Great!" She exclaims, "I was just.. Er."
Her eyes lock onto you.
"Who is this guy?"

"Your reinforcements, princess, this is the hero who was summoned by-"
"I didn't summon anyone."

They both stare at each other with a blank expression.

"HAHAHAH!" The brown-haired princess exclaims, falling into a giggling fit "I guess it doesn't matter for now! So, hero, what is your name?"
"Jack Albator, at your servic-"
"Sure, sure. Jack, Hero, either is fine with me. I am Tuile Di Biscotti. And I think we should get the introductions out of the way quick, because this place is going to be overrun in a few moments."
Fritelli looks worried by those words.

She points to a map embedded in the table, with a few X's and O's on it. You can't make much of it out, it's been scratched and redrawn quite a few times.

"So, getting right to business, if you and Fritelli here leave this camp, take a left and go behind the front lines, you can start fighting their-"

Fritelli interrupts, "Wait! What is the rush? Why are you suddenly throwing us behind their front lines?"

She laughs, "Listen, Fritelli, for some reason, Galette has been completely dominating us on the battlefield. This has never happened before for as long as we have been doing these."

"What are you saying, Princess?"

She smacks her hands on the table, pointing to a line that has been drawn on it, "If Jacky boy here has already been summoned, then I believe that this must be the work of an enemy hero."

Fritelli looks shocked

"That is why, you two must go behind their front lines and hit as many high value targets as possible before they end the battle."

Also, yeah, mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, I like that she's no nonsense, but I don't like the cutting other people off thing.

Argh, I'm feeling tired and I started the thread late anyway. So I'm gonna call it here so the battle is full of more life and energy than I can give now.

Thanks for the thread, mateys

I can take any questions anyone has before I archive it.

>>33926475
>"So where's the ship I'll be taking?"

So when do we get our Stand?

We are insufficiently fabulous to earn a stand.

Also I'll start the next thread with the results of this last post.

Next thread should be on Thursday, but I'm not making promises. I have business to do on that day. Keep up with me on twitter for updates on runtimes.

http://twitter.com/Announcer_QM

>>33926609
Alrighty then.

>>33926672
See you on Thursday!

That's an interesting first impression for us to have of the princess. Apparently Atsuko had a mentor in having something of an attitude.

>>33926609
>Biscotti princess is a turbocunt
Interesting contrast with the show, that.

This lass is enough worse, I want grumpy lass back

>>33926475
Jesus, this princess is terrible. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about who I want to be contracted to. And it's neither princess or Ms. Grumpy.

>>33926712
>>33926686
>>33926660
I'm liking these reactions to her.

So we're gonna play with her ears until she starts being nice right and showing some respect right?

>>33926672
>>33926712

Is this supposedly taking place in a different time period, to explain the characters?

>>33926767
In due time, anon. In due time.

>>33926767
We sure as hell are.

>>33926767
>are we going to sexually assault the princess in her own tent?
We didn't bribe the guard for nothing

>>33926475
That's not a dignified and graceful princess at all!

>>33926781
This takes place 200 years before the same time period in the show. If it's an alternate universe or not is to be discovered.

>>33926837
Yes! I love these reactions so

>>33926767
Aren't we the one that's supposed to show respect here? Pffffffhahaha, as if.

>>33926868
As a pirate, we know the importance of /earning/ respect (possibly with violence), and the princess certainly hasn't done that with this first impression.

>>33926867
I figured this was the case; are they going to be lower tech than the show then?

>>33926868
I just wish she would at least be professional, hell we even tried trading niceties, and we're a fucking pirate

>>33926916
I'll do my best to portray that

one thing you may notice is that they don't have wireless magic communication, because Ricotta was the first one who made that in the show.

>>33926993
So last thread, we switched very briefly to another hero's perspective.

How often is that going to happen? Because I could see that getting pretty jarring.

File: Temple.jpg (64 KB, 635x355)

>>33927104
I may not have it happen again. I realized after it happened that it was really jarring.

Originally, I had the idea for rotating protagonists as someone suggested in that same thread. Though, people seem pretty attached to the pirate, so that may not happen.

I was originally going to introduce all the heroes in pre-thread introductions and then swap perspectives as they encountered battles. Now I realize that is probably very jarring and the best way to introduce them is probably let Jack meet them in-quest.

I am really proud of how the Samurai introduction turned out. I just wish I had taken the time to put it more fluidly into the narrative.

>>33927194
Has everyone else figured out that the secret weakness is the ears?

>>33927293
I don't want to spoil what all of them are doing right now, but:

Samurai - That's not ladylike at all.
Injun - They're a pressing matter of concern
Monk - People who keep their hair is already a peculiarity to him

>>33927381
Oh man, I forgot there was a monk

I hope he winds up being permaflustered by the sleeping requirements and an inappropriate princess.

>>33927431
Nah he probably isn't bothered at all, niggas a monk

>>33927381
So we are going to fuck the samurai right?

Up to you!

I haven't decided romantic limits yet. There was actually a post that I made this very thread that had a very lewd implication before I edited it.

That said, I think you guys should decide if you want to have serious romance in this quest and let me know.

>>33927468
Something tells me that's who we're fighting right now.

In which case, we must defeat her and capture her for entertai- uh I mean the glory of our country.

I say we leave the samurai alone, she might be tsun or yandere. Let's just stick to chasing fluffy tail.

>>33927542
I wouldn't mind one. We're halfway there already with the whole bed sharing thing forcing us to have Character Development with our contractor.

>>33927542
Some casual romancing seems more suited to Jack, with some potential sleeping around depending on how he's received.

>>33927588
She's also one of the only other humans here besides us. If we can at least have some kind of professional-ish banter, at least we have something in common, vastly different cultures aside.

>>33927542
Also, did we confirm if we're bound to Keiko or Atsuko? I remember it being speculated last thread, but even the court mage wasn't really sure.

>>33927542
>serious
Not really, I mean if we run into someone who both A) Can put up with our shit B) Isn't a shit head, then we cant get serious
>>33927588
She seems more of a noble reserved type to me

>>33927617
He seems remarkably chivalrous under his piratey outer crust, what with thoughts of saving the innocent maiden and such.

>>33927666
So it is true; we must embark upon a program of lewd science.

>>33927666
Welp, we'll have to bed-share with each to test which one helps us recharge.

I don't remember what else is entailed by the whole contract thing, so I'm not sure how else we could test for it.

>lewd

>>33927617
>>33927654
You never know who could be yandere, and asians are the most likely to be yandere. Do you want her to string us up and make us commit seppuku every time we look at a fluffy tail?

>>33927898
We're in the land of no-one-dies, remember? She can't kill us anyway.

>>33927898
Stop being paranoid, if she turns out to be yandere we tie her up, weight her, and throw her into the deepest ocean we can find

We just beat someone by fondling their ears, anon. Think about that.

Not true in the slightest. Just try adventuring outside of the safe zones that are around civilization.

The vast majority of everyone gets murderraped by demons pretty damned quick out in the wilds.

>>33928195
I know that, I'm talking about the kingdom(s) within the safe zone.

I've seen just enough of the show to know that much.

>>33928138
You're still operating on the very wrong assumption about what kind of quest this is, anon.

Assuming that anon is the me(the anon that suggested the plausibility of yandere)
