So complicated, she'll probably think I talk like a boy. Can you blame me though? A lot of the people I talked with back home used to be boy. Mostly cut purses and other guardsmen, a few traders… ah anyway, Pa would say "Daughter, thou art young and full of vigor, forge thine own path in the world whilst thou hast the time" in his best commander voice, so if I'm to make him proud that's what I'll most certainly do!!


"Uhm, Evangelyne?!

"Yes, dear?" Aaah, this will get some getting used to. Though perhaps that's how it is in her home? I mean, it's bad to judge people and even worse when it's just something you find inconvenient yourself. Hmm. Does she ever call anyone else that way? Can't really recall, maybe I should pay more attention to this kind of thing. Observe your enemies well and observe your friends even better. It's easy to make enemies but hard to make friends, and even easier to make friends into enemies because you didn't get some stuff right. Well, that's just people for you I guess, right?

[x] What did you do before coming here?
[x] Have you done this circle thing a lot?

It seems Helena has caught up by now. Evangelyne looks at her briefly and smiles before turning her attention back to me.

"That thing you did, you know to send us there, to AKAZU, did you do that a lot, I mean back home? What did you do back home?"

That might be a bit too direct, nosy even, but hey it's the only way I know. If I were Eriadne I'd probably have found some clever way to ask this in a fancy way, but I'm just plain old Maria, and Maria's not one for fancy words. Though maybe I should learn a few fancy words so I don't stick out too much? Hmm, yea, Eriadne would probably like that, even it sounds silly coming out of my stupid mouth.

"That thing in particular? No, but my mother insisted I learn it. It was her speciality, her pride. Mayhaps the main source of her power as well. She seems to know many, many people out there. Ah, in case someone asks, they call it a 'Spectral Gate' around here". When you talk like that you almost seem like a teacher, Evangelyne! Out there probably means in that star light space, right? Ah, logic, me. Of course it does!

"Myself, well. After my mother settled down she just did more of the things she loved. Father used to say that half the reason he ever had a chance with her was his clock shop. Who knows, might be true. I probably got it from them. I'm terrible at gears, but I do like painting and working with crystal so that's what I did till the call came".

She somehow didn't strike me as the painting type. See? Judging. Don't do it ever. Hmm, does she miss it? Well, you can probably still paint as a witch.

"Whoa, what kind of paintings?"

"Mostly glass. Clock faces or small Sun Turn talismans".

"Mostly glass. Clock faces or small Sun Turn talismans".

"Yes, but WHAT do you paint?"

"Oh, you know, people, flowers, that kind of stuff… you too?" I shake my head energically before she gets the wrong impression.

To you right. What. To your right. I look more closely, and see Sora approach from afar the twins -Erato and Thalia, I remind myself- not far behind. The redhead walks in strong, easy strides, smiling easily as if she owned every square of the hallway, the twins looking downright subdued in comparison.

[X] Hail them.
They're probably those I know the least about yet. Sora comes from Nagrascant, a city somewhere on an island far far to south while the twins claim to come from the rivered region around Celephais. They're keeping an air of mystery around them, walking timidly till they gain sight of Evangelyne and run towards her like one. How does she do that? ah but I guess it's just a talent she has that I don't.

Kind of always was more comfortable with people older than me. Much, much older than me sometimes. They just had so many stories and experiences, not to mention funny things to taste and try out. To each their own, I guess. Sora just keeps on striding towards us till she's caught up.

"Oi, top of the morning y'all, was kinda worried we'd not catch ya anymore-- what the bloody hell happened to you gloomy girl?!" She stares at me for a few seconds before glancing away. Heeey Mara, you said it should be gone!!

"You mean the feeling of existential dread and primal terror?" Evangelyne smiles dryly whih earns her a flat stare from the red head. Very funny, I distinctly remember a certain someone almost losing her dinner just a few minutes ago over the same thing.

"Call it what cha want, gloomy girl's feelin' not quite right this mornin'". Evangelyne just shrugs.

"It's a long story".

"Ain't that a happy circumstance, I like the long ones!" Persistence is a virtue, but aren't you overdoing it a little, Sora? Though when I think about it, I really didn't tell a lot of the things that happened so far. There's not a lot interesting about me, but they probably will want to hear this one. On the othe hand, who knows what happens when you spread that kind of thing around too much?

I have small hopes that she'll be friends with chuuni priestess eventually. Though one or both of them will probably have to lose their cleric powers to achieve that.

>>35229752

>>35230229
From the look of it they would have the most trouble getting along out of any of the girls.

Obviously chuuni becomes Sora's pet. Total Global Tsunduration.

>>35230305
Right now. But fate is funny, and enemies can become friends.

>>35230371
Yeah, but the follower of a death god and the follower of a fertility goddess are probably going to find each other just repulsive to be around with how gods work in this setting.

>>35230404
That is why I said one or both of them would have to fall from grace, yes.

It's odd that chuuni priestess stands out so much while Helena is generally subdued to the point that no one notices she's there. You'd think that'd be the other way around.

>>35230428
>That is why I said one or both of them would have to fall from grace, yes.
Well it would have to be Helena to get rid of her goddess effect and it's just not really worth it.

>subdued to the point that no one notices she's there.
I get the feeling Helena's god is the jealous type.

We? Sora is awfully cosy with the twins. I suppose she really does want to emulate Evangelyne.

>>35235401
Will Maria be able to keep Eri safe during the up coming Nee-san wars?

>>35235401
Or she's just rooming with them and is, naturally, getting to know them better.

Sora''s got a real personable attitude, after all.

>>35235360
She's a chav. A cute one, but still a chav. Imitating American lower class speaking habits is a thing with them.

>>35235421
It's kind of funny because Eri is supposedly the oldest one.

>>35235470
Makes sense that she claimed the oldest of the young ones then.

>>35235437
>>35235401
Sora is probably going to have an entire harem/nakama of her own by the beginning of next week.

>>35235475

[x] I'll tell Sora and Evangelyne just what happened up there. Out there? In there? What, this is a really stupid line of thought. Stop it.

Battles are won through cleverness, yet hearts are won through truth! Pa probably drilled me with that every single day when we studied how to work with criminal groups. So it must be even more true with friends, right? Sora looks at me expectantly, her gorgeous red curls swaying with every step. She might be a dancer, going by the way she moves.

"Well?"

"Uhm, you remember the spell Eriadne showed off during dinner?"

"Eh, maybe, was kinda busy not starvin' though ya it had the same kinda creepy vibe like you do now". Hey, rude!! …stop giggling Evangelyne, you really shouldn't support things like that. I shoot the other girl my best glare, but apparently it's not quite enough as she just smiles and shrugs, twirling her hand as a sign to continue. Outnumbered, yep. I guess some battles just aren't worth fighting.

"So, yea, anyway, it seems it kind of uses the power of someone called AKAZU. We didn't say thank you, so Eriadne and I had to go to his palance far, far out there to say sorry and thank you. His priest is kind of nice though is voice is scary!!" Hmm, that's about everything important, right? No, I don't think I forgot anything important there. ...did I?

This is paramount. You don't talk about something as private as cuddling without both individuals' consent.

>>35236548

[x] Yes I did, tell them about the priest asking after Lady Dovana
[X] Mention Eri's under the weather, and that we had some kinda weird mojo on us when we returned that a kinda-not-teacher helped remove.
[X] Ask after mornings.

"Sooo, anyway, that's why Eriadne's not with us now". Sora waves Erato closer to her so a pair of servants can pass without the four -no, five- of us blocking the entire breadth of the hallway.

It's just been a day but our group is very big already. Briefly I recall the silliness of Evangelyne declaring me leader and put it out of my mind the next instant. There are some things that are unlikely, some that are nearly impossile and others that just are never going to happen. That last one CERTAINLY belongs to the last group.

"well ain't that a thing, but how'd Mistress Silverhair end up like that?" Sora's begun to idly stroke the small girl's hair, apparently not quite aware of what she's doing. Hey, is that really okay?

Ah, but she's still small so it shouldn't be looked at too badly. Still, it would not do to have her overdo it. Her country probably has different rules, but here on the mainland it could help her to fit in. Ah anyway, that is not the topic here.

"When we reached, you know, the place where AKAZU lives it felt different somehow. Not like what things feel like here. Wrong, I guess?"

"Abominable Existence, Maria". That word doesn't mean anything to me, Evangelyne, let me focus!!

"So anyway, when we came back it--" Evangelyne has begun walking faster, staring straight ahead. .…oh! OOOoooh, so that's how it is!

"--we were different, and it made Eriadne sick". That should about cover it. Noo wait, one other thing.

"Evangelyne, uh, do you know someone called Lady Dovana?" Well THAT got her attention as she stops in her tracks till we're at her level again.

"Maria, I… certainly. Though it has been quite a while since I've heard that name". Coincidence is just getting stranger and stranger lately. It was really just a hunch. Less than that, a simple stab in the dark and yet…

"Really?! Who was she? Someone close?!" Whooa, calm down, me, you're getting almost as terrible as the Sunday Fishwives.

"She was my mother's closest friend. The one who taught her how to negotiate with the Beyond yet always seemed a few steps ahead. They used to do everything together before mother settled I think, though even after she used to show up from time to time. Wonder what happened to her. Aunt Dovana, haha. Good ti-- anyway, why?"

"Uhhhhm, there is someone called the First Praisebearer, right? He asked after her! chance is really strange, isn't it?" I could swear Evangelyne's muttering about how I know nothing of Fate, but that's probably an illusion.

"So that was my morning more or less, how was yours?"

"It was…" Thalia begins.
"…very interesting", Erato states.

"Sora really told us…"
"…many, many interesting tales". So she's a storyteller too? Intersting, hopefully not the kind that only makes up untrue things.

Aww, Evamom lost her childhood friend.

>>35253722
Eva isn't a very discrete person but that might be different when dealing with relatives. Dovana is her mom's ex and they separated on good terms. Northerners.

>without the four -no, five- of us blocking
Helena is SUFFERING

Hex has awoken.

I think I figured it out. Green means outward focused attention, the brighter the more intense, grey means contemplation, blue means inward attention or attention directed at someone, pink means embarrassment, gold green grey is Eri waiting for us to say or do something. Brighter colors mean stronger more outwardly directed emotions.

Color anon you here?

>>35254419
There's a colour Anon? Neat! Also your theory is neat too.

There needs to be more pink.

>>35254419
I'm not on my home computer so I don't have the whole list right now, just this outdated one: http://pastebin.com/v9uMuspu

As for the theory, it matches up with what we've seen, but it feels just too broad, it really depends if her eyes reflect just her emotions or her entire state of mind

>>35256304
>Not too hot, not too cold, just right for watching the stars.

I think it's really mostly surface thoughts and emotions. They switched around quickly at least once so when she feels conflicted the eyes quickly cycle through colors.

>Goddammit Sora they better not be lewd tales.

Rolled 86 = Plotsurfing = LIMIT BREAK! MAGNIFICENT THREE-MONK'S BURNING PLOT FORMATION: RITE OF THE MAD LIBRARIAN!

A few days before, somewhere else.

My iron boots click-clack over the black tiled floor, cape swishing like a whispering banner held by the standard-bearer of some long-lost king. As I the softly sloping dark corridor the images of past rulers of this keep watchfully observe my every step, judging from on high one who would dare enter the most sacred places of keep Mattheo. Regardless, there is a message I must deliver and deliver I shall, no matter all consequences.

Just to think that the such rabble would gain enough traction to destroy half a century of work on the lifeline of information that is the family's Sparkwire network. And to vanish into the night with but two dying perpetrators as evidence of anything happening.

I wonder what goes on in the minds of such people. Do they really think that undercutting society is going to make things better? Be it acts like this or the wiping out of the DeVega's leadership all those years back, they cannot possibly hope to earn through force what others built through wisdom.

Be it as it may, their motivations are of no concern to me.


[] Enter the sanctum quickly, deliver your message and duck out.

It's like a phone or telegraph or something. Communications of some sort. And now it has been sabotaged for some reason.

AnCap terrorists. Yarly.

>>35258380
How so? Nothing seems out of place for a world with rampant nobility and magic everywhere.

>>35258380
It's not medieval fantasy, you know?
Pretty sure I remember lightbulbs. Can anyone confirm?

>>35258380
The term you're looking for is "not Pseudo Medieval".
>>35258457
Though nobility seems to be mostly ruling via CAPITALISM.

>>35258506
Yeah, it's supposed to be 1920's era tech. Lovecraft era.

>>35258506
I believe the setting is on average 1800 tech but there is some stuff that is batter and other stuff which is worse.

I'd bet on something dramatic happening to her or her close ones in the past. Turned her into "Damn you, Faaate!"

>>35261019
I imagine Eva's mom might bitch out Fate a lot, what with the falling out she had with some of her friends when she settled down.

>>35261556
Maybe it had something to do with

>"She was my mother's closest friend. The one who taught her how to negotiate with the Beyond yet always seemed a few steps ahead.

Dumping her girlfriend before getting married. Often such things end up pulling others in, even if the breakup was on good terms. Which it evidently was or she wouldn't have visited later on.

Ouch.

>>35261663
I'm pretty sure it's my fault as well. I ask way to many questions.

>>35261615
This might come as a surprise to you, but people frequently make friendships of a non-sexual nature with others of the same gender and experience falling-outs over a variety of things.

>>35261634
>Least? Uh… not sure, possibly the Raven Haired Priestess, since all those lower lifeforms around her are just about equally incompetent, so as long as one doesn't annoy her too much it should be fine.
Is it bad she gives me a really bad boner?

>>35261680
Even then it might have been played a role. Maybe Dovana and Eva's mom were the only sane ones so when they stopped seeing each other it all fell apart.

>>35261685
A little. Friends don't let friends try to fuck outlets of divine energy that happen to take human form.
