Can someone translate this for me? I like the design and I've seen enough common rider seasons (my old gaming club at college was full of weebs and playing by yourself when there were 6 other people doing the same thing in the same room without you got depressing) to see how this can be a bretty good quest.

Now, what is an Inves, what does a lockseed do, and how does all this work? Thus far, I figure this is essentially a game show between teams of not!power rangers. The rules and all that escape me.

>>35384672
The following morning, you wake up late, your body nearly screaming in agony as you try moving from your bed. Whatever was in that suit of armor has taken a massive toll on your body - you feel as if a truck has hit you and then decided to rest overnight directly on every single muscle fiber you control.

You throw your head back onto the pillow, sighing. Yeah, there wasn't much that was on the docket today - Raid Wild was taking a day off from practice, and there was no karate practice as far as you're aware of today. You're sure that within the next hour or so, you'll be able to move once more and begin to actually acting like a human. But now, with the day lying open to you... what do you want to do?

Explore. Know your surroundings.

>>35384846
Real quick definitions!
>Inves:
Creatures from another dimension, animal-like, hunt Lockseeds. People use them for cockfighting to resolve disputes. There are many varieties, tied to different varieties of Lockseeds.

>Lockseeds
Padlock-like devices that can summon these Inves via zipper-like portals. They come in many varieties, modeled after edible seeds, fruits, and nuts. They're fairly expensive, but the origin of them is unknown to most players of the Inves Game.

>How this all works:
Zawame City operates under the near monopolitic support of the Yggdrasil Corporation. As many of the common people felt that the corporation was wielding monolithic control, turning Zawame into a castle town. In response, Zawame's youths formed a culture about freestyle dance, forming into different teams with different dancing styles. Over time, the dance battles have formed into their own culture, marking popular feuds, control over territory, and morphing from crews to resembling actual gangs. The Inves Game has been sprouting up recently, due to the use of the Inves Game as a way to resolve higher disputes between teams and/or players.

Any other questions?

After taking an impromptu nap for about an hour, you stretch and get going to take a shower. You get a glimpse at what you look like, and boy howdy you look haggard as hell.

>I'll let you guys define her normal appearance.

Besides how you usually look, your eyes have very visible dark circles and bags underneath them. Your posture is drooping, from the exhaustion from last night. Overall, you could easily pass as sick or some other similar condition.

Once you take a shower and get dressed in casual clothing (of course, repping Raid Wild with black and yellow themes) you step outside, surprised at how cool it's gotten recently. You could swear only yesterday that it was perfect outside, hovering around 23 degrees C, but now it's dropped to approximately 16 degrees. Thankfully you have a hoodie on, so it's not that bad... but this rings strange...

Taking your bike from under the stairs to your family's apartment, you start riding through the streets at a leisurely pace. All around, most every house you see appears to be fairly happy and content. Kids are running around, parents seem to be taking care of their kids... overall what you'd imagine the ideal model city should operate like.

It all seems just a little robotic, maybe. Unnatural, perhaps, is a better word. You know that mankind's got its flaws, and what you're seeing is so very little of it. Barely any complaints, barely any conflicts. Wha--

>"HELLOOOO, ZAWAME CITY! And welcome all you Beat Riders! This is the Beat Rider Hotline!"

Your phone goes off with a notification from Beat Rider Hotline. Then your messaging app starts lighting up quicker than you can even open. The podcast continues.

>"Hot news today, Raid Wild decimated Baron in a massive upset, not only tying directly in a Dance battle, but pulling a comeback in an Inves Game match! A never-before-seen Inves crashed the party, however, and the plucky new kid Makoto Kinushima, allegedly, took the reins of the situation and sent the intruder packing to Hell. Donning armor and wielding massive claws and a sword, she's taken the Internet by storm! Earning the name 'Armored Rider Raid' from her quickly sprouting fanbase, what will the emergence of this new figure mean for the Beat Rider game?"

You open the messaging app on your phone, and the senders of these messages are all unfamiliar to you. Thankfully, their content is actually extremely encouraging. Most of the messages consist of very supporting and thankful messages, apparently from a lot of the attendees of the Raid Wild vs. Baron fight (and subsequent Inves elimination mission). No inappropriate messages that you can see, but your inbox is filling pretty damn fast. You also see a couple of the Raid Wild team members sending you links to Beat Rider network articles depicting your emergence as this new "Armored Rider Wild" and you can't help but blush in embarassment. There's an outpouring of love and appreciation, one that you haven't seen in your entire life so far. It fills you with happiness, as you continue to read.

Strangely, no message from Hase.

Soon after, the podcast continues. DJ Sagara's voice falls a bit more serious, at this point, as if he's actually discussing important political news.

>"In other news, today the Chairwoman of Yggdrasil Corporation, Ms. Naruya Yamauchi, has given her quarterly report to the stockholders of the corporation. Reporting recordbreaking profit and success, she remarks: "The progress we've made so far has been outstanding, but I know we can - and will - continue to exceed and excel. Our goal is to provide a fruitful and happy future for our customers, and we will continue to deliver on our promises."

The voice clip used for the report, of this Naruya Yamauchi, sends chills down your spine as you listen. It's a woman's voice, middle-aged, but there's a power behind it that is at the same time horrifyingly delicious to see, and irresistible. There is charisma, almost superhuman charisma, behind her words. And for some reason, while her words sound positive, you have a deep-seated bad feeling about it. It rubs you the wrong way, all the way down to your core.

I accept your challenge.

While you're thinking about it, you're beginning to worry. You haven't heard anything from Hase at all today, and given that Raid Wild was in the news, you'd expect him to be at least doing something to talk to the rest of Raid Wild about it. Just to assuage your nerves, you send Hase a text:

>[Text to: Ryoji Hase]
Hey Hase, you doing alright? Text me back when you can. -Makoto

You also send messages to the rest of Raid Wild, at least to those who you've got their numbers, asking them if they've heard from him. Most of them don't reply immediately, but the few that do say that he's doing fairly norma, just at work with his family. To them, nothing is off.

The question remains, however - despite Kaito issuing you a solo challenge, do you want to inform your team of what's going on on your end?

You send a mass text to Raid Wild, informing them that Kaito has indeed challenged you, but the rules specified to bring no one. You figure that he means no one to directly interfere for the challenge, but for them to be in the crowd won't be a problem.

Raid Wild, on the whole, is reluctant, but agrees. A couple of them volunteer to let Hase know for you, and to cheer you on with the fight. Whatever it might be. You remembered your Driver and Lockseed, the Dragonfruit seed hanging onto your belt loop, so you can leave at any time.

However, it's mid day. The challenge isn't going to occur for another few hours at least. Unless you want to take the rest of the day off and wait, resting up for the challenge, you still have the day open to you.

You decide to take more of the time on this cool beginning of autumn day, to explore more of the town. Knowing the territory and surrondings would certainly help with more knowledge about the Beat Rider wars.

But sadly, despite a lengthy ride around the south and west portions of Zawame, you don't see much of anything special happening. Of course, you do see your Armored Rider visage - resembling a magenta dragon-styled helm with a white sparkly visor covering your eyes - on some TV screens you pass by, and you do hear people talking about it in passing, but it doesn't seem like many people who aren't into the Beat Rider culture know who the woman behind the mask looks like.

You'd prefer, for now, for it to be more like a secret in the Beat Rider community than anything else, but only time will tell what happens.

Your ride is cut short, however, when you come across an alleyway behind a convenience store that has vines crawling all over it. Strange, given the place looks to be in good repair... Extremely strange, given the vibrance of the plants growing from the vines. You could swear you've passed this store a couple times recently with your parents and these vines were not here whatsoever.

You lock up your bike near the alleyway entrance, still carrying your Driver and Lockseed with you. Cellphone out and recording video of the vinmes and growth in the alley, you find that they have grown to nearly ankle-height, thick and jungle-like. Strange fruit of various kinds seems to be growing on the vines, magenta and purple.

And at the end of the alleyway, is something that shouldn't be there. A zipper-like portal, the same exact one which brings out Inves in matches, is laying open. The vines in the alley are streaming from the inside of that portal, almost flowing like water. If plants could flow.

Common sense dictates that this is fucking dangerous. You immediately put on your belt, but don't secure your Lockseed to it. No Inves are in sight, but the portal is laying open. And you know that on the other side of such portals, /should/ be Inves. Do you choose to explore?

You take a deep breath. Out of a bit of brilliance, you unshackle your bike and bring it with you into the portal.

The effect in your eyesight is unsettling. Everything looks like it's got the contrast and vibrance turned far further than any photography studio. It's near sickening to look at, and most of the colors of the trees and plant life bleeds together. It's all extremely hard to look at any one thing. The fruits that you saw on the vines are growing in larger bunches. Some have apparently split open and reveal translucent, pearlescent berries in the magenta fruits. Goddamn, do those look tempting....

...wait, are those Inves? Are those Inves wandering around freely? They certainly look bigger than the Inves fought in the Games. Almost human-sized as well, they look like they could overpower you if you aren't careful. Whether they actually want to hunt you down for your succulent human flesh... is another issue.

Prudence dictates that caution is necessary. These monsters, if they are actually Inves, are potentially dangerous and should not be messed with, especially when you're so untested with your armor and weapon.

You proceed a bit further into the forest, coming across what appears to be ruins of some kind. Stones, clearly cut and crafted, lay broken and shattered in various sizes. They dont' resemble buildings or even the remains of them, but you're pretty sure that while you might not be an anthropologist, these are most certainly remains of some--

>"RUAAAAAAAAAA!"

Okay, THAT was most certainly something that was aimed at you. The sound of the animalistic, unintelligible roaring. THAT was an Inves, most certainly a bigger one. A quick turn to the right, and a teal colored, rashly horned Inves is bearing down on you with speed that is terrifying. Quick...!

>>35387540
Now's a good of a time as any to get some practice here! You've downed a much bigger, much more dangerous Inves before in the real world, this should be a piece of cake! You quickly slam the Dragonfruit lockseed in the Driver ("DORAGON FURUTSU"), and hear "LOCK ON" and the tones of Japanese warhorns.

Time to show that Kinushima GAR spirit!

"Henshin!"

>"DORAGONFURUTSU ARMS! KASAIMICHI, GLORY!"

The knife lever for the driver "cuts" the seed open, and you can feel the gambeson-like outer uniform quickly form along your body. The dragonfruit metal armor materializes almost instantaneously above you, and with enough time to lock in place, it unfolds to cover your upper body once more. The claw materializes, and JUST as the Dragon Claw manifests on your right arm, the Inves' ramming horns make contact with you. Your luck and training pays off, as the attack is parried up, throwing the charging monster off course. It stumbles, and you reform into at least some kind of martial arts stance.

You'll end this Inves with ease, you just know i--

Another chill goes through your spine. Someone's watching you. The Inves seems to not notice, as it returns to standing upright and glaring at you, but someone else is here.

You felt confident that you could take this Inves on by yourself, but the sense of overwhelming danger coming from being watched is putting serious doubt into your mind. Now was not the time to be reckless - you have a fight with Kaito to make sure you're in one piece and ready for.

Backing up slowly, circling back to the area where you started, you keep the pistol part of your sidearm pointed directly at the Inves. Slowly, so as not to possibly provoke it further. It follows suit, keeping its eyes on you, but the both of you do strafe slowly to the "entrance" - the portal still remains, though it seems as if the vines have increased in leaking out into the real world. As soon as you get in range of your bike...

You fuckin' book it. You climb on your bike, and pedal as fast as your feet can go (which is pretty fucking fast while under adrenaline). The Inves roars after you, but its speed just can't match yours while on the man-powered vehicle. You don't even bother looking behind you as you speed down the alleyway, screeching tires to lean into a turn and powering down the street.

Still in your armor, still with a claw on your arm, still riding on a hand-me-down bike.. but safe for now. And thankfully, it's actually getting dark. Near 7, too!

Okay, I'm back from my test and catching up on both this and last thread now. So, we've already visited Helheim and then ran from it as fast as possible? I wonder how Slaughtermelon will respond to that?

The image of you riding up in your armor on a dinky bike amuses you, but you do have an appearance and reputation to keep up. You pull into a space behind the FPZ, unlock the Lockseed from the Driver and relax as the armor melts off of you into particle effects. You feel perfectly fine, not winded at all - it seems like the fatigue comes up with using the more... special powers of the armor. Disengaging the Driver from your hips, you put it and the lockseed back in your backpack.

You walk into the FPZ, and above the arena you see a crowd of people gathered, staring at the single person in the middle of the stage: Kumon Kaito, in the flesh. He certainly doesn't look pleased, but with arms crossed and a slightly sour expression on his face, he doesn't look much different from his normal self.

You stride confldently up to the open area, which Kaito walks towards you slowly as well. His voice bounces off of the walls of the arena as he speaks.

>"I am not interested in petty dancing. I am interested in challenging and testing your strength. One on one, Inves."

Kaito reaches into his coat and produces a single Lockseed, It's as decorated as your own Dragonfruit, shaped in gold and green. A Pine Lockseed, Class A.

>"We bet our Lockseeds. If you lose, you leave the Beat Rider circle. If you win, we relinquish the stage to you. Understood?"

Oh, I wanted to fight his Inves personally. That's half the fun of being an Armored Rider at the beginning of the series. But whatever, it'll still be fun. Just make sure that little shit Peco doesn't slingshot the Lockseed out of our hands.

>>35388732
>[ ] Agree to terms

>>35388867
>>35388873
>>35388876

You reveal your Lockseed and hold it up as well.

>"Accepted, but with one stipulation. Maybe two."
Kaito shifts a bit, as you continue.
>"One, the scoundrels who fucked over Gaim need to publically repent to Gaim. I believe it was Zack and Peko."

Now the anger is written on his face.
>"I'll believe you when you show me evidence. Until then, they are baseless and pathetic accusations. But I will accept. The second?"

>"Lighten up a bit, man."
You smirk, giggling a bit. It's an altogether unfamiliar friendliness, but it helps to try lightening the mood.

Kaito looks confused, but gives a noncommittal grunt.
>"Let's start this."

>"DORAGONFURUTSU!"
>"PINE!"

The ring is set up in front of the two of you, much bigger this time, and two zipper portals to that strange forest appear in mid-air, as usual. Your respective Inves drops out, as expected, but a hulk of a humanoid INves drops on Kaito's side. This one is not to be fucked with, but as long as you hold onto your Lockseed this time, you should be fine.

>Continued...

>>35389026
..ya still there buddy?

>>35389026
The fight does drag on, and there are times when you are desperately clutching your Lockseed in the hopes of somehow pushing your Inves to fight harder. Kaito does the same, given the amount of beatings that each one receives.

But finally, with a blast of fire comboed with a flurry of claw swipes, Kaito's Inves falls lifeless onto its back, dissolving into data and particles.

>"YOU WIN! RANK UP!"

You breathe a sigh of relief, as your Inves roars in ... happiness? You're pretty sure there's been a sign of happiness on your Inves' face. It reflects on you, when you open and close your lockseed, as your Inves successfully jumps back through the temporary portal it makes. No berserking, no need for going all out.

Kaito is stunned speechless, as the crowd goes wild. The TV screens around are showing Raid Wild's popularity ascending higher and higher. Finally securing a solid 2nd place, behind Gaim, you've outbeaten Baron. It takes him a few moments, but he silently strides forward towards you, and shoves the pineapple-themed lockseed into your hands, before pushing away from you and making his way off of the field.

Through the crowd, however, you see no sign of Hase, but quite a few Raid Wild's people.

You turn to Kaito and call out to him before he leaves:

>"Remember what I said!"

He doesn't bother turning around, so you don't know if he agreed or not. Given he's so pissed, it would make sense for him to not respond. You brush it off, give a little wave to the crowd, before exiting the arena to meet up with your team.

All of the team except for Hase's there, and they're relieved that the fight didn't get screwed over by outsiders. However....

>"Where's Hase?"
You ask, looking around. A couple of the members shuffle awkwardly, frowning.

>"Hase says he was too busy to come. Something about doing some studying, but he wasn't elaborating."
>"Yeah, it was weird! You were literally defending you and Raid Wild out there, and he's the leader of the team! What was he doing not supporting you?"

You honestly have no clue. You check your phone, and your messages have been successfully delivered, but not responded to yet. This is beginning to bode ill...

Raid Wild, for the most part, agrees. One of the members, a youngin by the name of Yusei, offers to accompany you, at least to give you the right directions to get to his house. He shows you on his phone, and it strikes you.

His apartment is next to a convenience store, behind which is a rather large alleyway.

That exact convenience store - an Am/Pm Japan, one you know well - was the one that had the portal to the forest behind it.

The last text Yusei received from him was GPS marked at the alleyway.

You and Yusei rush as fast as your 3-speed will take the two of you, down the road once more to the convenience store. The vines are stil indeed there, the air around the alleyway now heady and humid. It's as if the jungle's taken a minor foothold in the city, and the portal clearly remains open. Now's not the time to fuck around, as you equip your driver and carry your Lockseed in your hand. Yusei tags along, more hesitant than anything given that this is a new place, new entire thing for him.

And your fears are confirmed shortly after stepping into the portal. A short distance away from where the portal dumps the two fo you off, a yellow belt can be seen laying on the floor.

The Matsubokkuri lockseed that's attached to it is shattered.

There is no body to it, but the belt is open.

[ ] Response?

>>35390370

>Check the belt for a faceplate, examine the scene in more detail and tell Yusei to keep an eye out for trouble.

We don't know how this shit works, we better go about it carefully.

Grab belt, and then call out for Hase.

>>35390404
This seems rather appropriate.

>>35390404

>>35390370
Get the belt and look around carefully. Put on your belt, just in case, and then stuff the second belt into your bag for safekeeping.

>>35390370
Shit, we need to figure out if the belt itself is damage. If it isn't we could simply get him a new lockseed. Even our pineapple. But yeah. We need to find Hase and hope he doesn't eat or get eaten by any o the crazy things here.

>>35390404
I was gonna say panic, but this works better.

>>35390455

The belt has a faceplate design already, simple and ninja-like in appearance. It's been worn already, but when you last saw Hase with his Driver, there was no design on his faceplate. Hase, however, did mention that there was a design on yours once you put yours on.

>"Hase??!"
You call to the air, with no response. It's unsettling. You'd at least hear a "Yeah" or something, but absolutely nothing except for the sound of birds and other generally peaceful animals.

Yusei speaks up,
>"Is... is this Hase's?"

You nod.
>"Hase got a Driver shortly after I did. I dunno anyone else that had one. But..."

The seeds of doubt are sown already. This can't be Hase, he has to have lived on. The leader of Raid Wild, the relentlessly ferocious Ryoji Hase, cannot be dead and gone so early into this confusing game you've been drawn into.

>"HASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
you scream at the top of your lungs, scaring off a clump of birds from a nearby tree.

Still no response.

What kind of Kinushima could you call yourself if you were to leave Hase out to dry here? You have two lockseeds on you, if Hase is indeed alive, you can return the belt to him and everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

You take Yusei by the wrist and start calling for Hase, walking through the quiet and dark forest. The fruits and plants around you glow with their own soft light, but there's more than enough darkness surrounding the two of you. Now wasn't the time to be unprotected.

You lock the Lockseed in, transform into the Armored Rider form. It helps that the form has its own low-light vision, because as soon as the henshin is complete, the area lights up with forms of various Inves, roaming around. Some of them look armed to the teeth.

>>35390927
>"Yusei..." you hiss. "Get back to the entrance, get to his apartment, make sure that he isn't in his room. Make absolutely sure."

Yusei nods, taking off real quick to the entrance and making it home. Now it's just you and the near hordes of Inves. None of them have aggressed against you yet, nor have shown signs of even paying much attention to you aside from looking at you during transformation. But you know that at any moment, you could be attacked. Further, currently you're alone in the Forest.

>>35391445
In your eternal genius, you start taking the Metal Gear Solid approach to stealth, crawling in my skin and crouching and moving quietly amongst the bushes and underbrush. You do indeed quietly call for Hase when you get the chance, but surprisingly enough, none of the Inves seem to lose their shit over it. A few give you weird looks (or what you assume to be weird looks by the way they cock their heads) but for the most part, you're left alone.

>"Haaaseeeeee."
>"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeee."

And then you faintly pick up on labored, pained, human breathing a little while off. You do your best to clamber over to the voice, and to your surprise...

>"Kinushima... issat you?"

>Continued

>>35391786

You know you can't show your smile behind your helmet, but you're grinning. Tears are threatening the corners of your eyes.

>"Hase...!! What happened?"

He tries waving it off, but his movement is nowhere near as strong as it can be. You can see blood on the fingers of his hand, and more and more of it can be seen splattered on his shirt and pants. One hand is clutching his lower stomach... almost drenched in the precious fluid.

>"We have to get you out of h ere and to a hospital!" you hiss at him, starting to pick him up...

Put his Driver on him and transform him with the Pine Lockseed. The strengthening effects of an active Sengoku Driver might stabilize him. At the very least it'll bind his wounds somewhat. And though Makoto couldn't actually know this, wearing a Sengoku Driver wards off Helheim infection.

>>35392137
Hase's wounds, from what you can tell, could quickly descend to mortally dangerous if you don't come up with a solution quick. Given the flora and fauna that you see around you being so unknown, you know you can't do anything involving actual medicine...

...but what about the power that the Drivers have? Do they have healing powers? Or at least, can they stabilize them? Deciding to test it out, you help Hase to his feet before slapping the spare Driver on his waist. You then unfasten your Pine Lockseed and attach it to his Driver. He stands a bit confused...

>"Mako-chan, what're you--"

>"SOIYA! PINE ARMS, FUNSAI DESTROY!"

You flick the lever for him, summoning the Pine Arms from mid-air with his driver and pretty much dropping it on his head. The armor folds down around his shoulders, back and chest, and while the pauldrons look positively silly, you have to admit he at least is able to stand on his feet.

...And then it dawns on you that you've probably awoken the Forest at this point.

Ssh, who knows what might happen.

The roars of what must be thousands upon thousands of Inves just around you nearly make you piss your greaves. Hase's finally able to stand, but now's not the time to stick around. You two HAVE to make a break for it, if you have any home of surviving without more injuries.

Together, you both take off as fast as your legs can carry you two. Hase's doing his best to keep up, and the suit is keeping his organs in place for now. But the limping and sounds of labored breath are quickly informing you that time is running out, and faster than you could possibly imagine. If he pushes himself too much, the wounds might rip open further and there might be irreparable damage. You can see the exit coming up soon...!

You can almost feel the breath of the Inves on your tail, and with a deft and surprisingly strong motion, you sling Hase onto your back. Carrying him feels like you're carrying a heavy weight, but given the adrenaline, fear and power that is surging through your veins, you care not.

All that matters now is getting you and Hase out of here.

One hand of yours reaches for the knife lever, hitting it three times against the Dragonfruit lockseed.

>"SOIYA! DORAGONFURUTSU SPARKING!"

Your speed, without warning, multiplies tenfold. Your boots seem to literally be on fire as untold and unknown energy surges through your legs, carrying the two of you furth and further away from the Inves. With a mighty jump and a thrust of both of your legs through the rip in the dimensions...!

You make it! You take a tumble, unceremoniously letting Hase go in the process, but the sheer force of you hitting the portal behind you has apparently sent enough energy to close it behind you - hopefully for good. The vines that came from the portal immediately begin to wither and disintegrate into ash and dirt, but none of it matters.

You saved your boss, and hopefully with time and treatment, he'll be back on his feet enough to lead the team once more.

You both power down your Drivers, but while you're somewhat exhausted from the stress of carrying Hase through the dark forest, Hase's unconscious as he de-transforms. He is still breathing, and there appears to be no more massive loss of blood, but he's effectively out for the night. Maybe for a while, if you aren't lucky.

A simple emergency services call brings the ambulances screaming towards the alleyway...

>"I'm his second in command, and I need to make sure he's okay..."

One of the EMTs nods, patting the bench near her. She's apparently an African American woman, middle-aged, but when she speaks Japanese she speaks it as fluently as if she was born and raised here.

>"What was going on when you found him? What could possibly have given him these kinds of wounds?"
She asks. You quickly explain about the portal filled with Inves, how they attacked him, and how you carried him out. The mentions of the armor you two had to wear go unsaid, but you figure the easiest explanation is the simplest and closest to the truth.

>"Yo, we've got a problem here,"
the other EMT says, examining his chest. What you see when they cut his shirt open makes you recoil.

The same kinds of vines that were growing out of the portal, apparently were starting to grow in the cuts and gashes to his chest. They were tiny, indeed, but given how rooted they were in his flesh... this boded ill.

>"Hey! Change course, we're goin' to Yggdrasil direct! We've got a case of the infection here!"
says the EMT next to you.

What do you mean infection?! What's going on?!

>>35393510
I think the biggest responses are A: "Is there a cure for it." and B. "What do you mean this is a 'case'?" Case tends to mean more than one after all.

>>35393510
This isn't the first time you've seen something like this?!

"Wait, you have a procedure for this? This has happened before? Does that mean you know how to treat it?"

>>35393698
No that is a terrible idea.

That I would support if it were in his arms or legs, maybe something like that would work if it were only in his intestines or somewhere like that.

>>35393683
I'll second this option.

>>35393698
I don't think we have a lighter on our person. So we can't conduct fire conducting medicine.

>"Wait a minute, what?"
You ask, sitting up bolt-straight.
>"What the hell is going on?! Has this happened before? Does this mean you know how to treat it?"

The questions tumble out of your mouth, as the ambulance makes an unforeseen turn and starts heading towards the center of the city, directly towards the massive tree-like headquarters of the Yggdrasil Corporation. The EMT that ordered the transfer is busy on the radio, letting dispatch know of their new destination and to plan accordingly, before turning back to you.

>"If these vines are real and you ain't fuckin' with us, these are symtoms of the Helheim infection. We've got orders from HQ to take a hands-off protocol, and transfer care to the medical team at Yggdrasil itself, as they know how to handle this without risking the spread of the infection. Don't touch him, don't even try breathing on him. No I'm not kidding."

She hands you a pair of latex gloves and a face mask, both of which you don immediately, before the ambulance arrives at the doors of the facility. Outside is a team of what you could only assume to be comprised of Hazmat professionals, given their full body suits, who immediately whisk Hase inside of a self-contained bubble-like enclosure that fits along his gurney. You try to follow, however, and two of them put their hands up to stop you.

The rest of the team's gonna ask questions. We may get brushed off, but we have to try

If we get brushed off we do have a super suit.

Ask for more information. Perhaps a hotline number to check on him.

I suggest asking what to do if WE find another infection spot.

And they literally own this town.

We're just one girl against a multinational corporation that currently has our buddy's life in their hands. Let's not piss them off.

>>35393902
Ask questions about trying to keep in touch with Hase and if there are recovery cases. He is our leader.

Also, give a shout to Hase as he's being taken away. "YOU BETTER GET BETTER HASE! RAID WILD NEEDS IT'S LEADER!"

Thank you for the feedback! We'll do our best, LET'S FIGHTING

Great job, OP, loving the ride so far, this is even the first time I've ever come to /tg/!

If you could post in /krg/ when this starts up again, it would be very appreciated, since that's how I found out this was going on in the first place.

>>35394218
Well, even if we hit auto sage, which is 48 posts out, the thread would most likely still be up for a couple more hours after that. /tg/ isn't the fastest of boards after all. But it's your choice, so I'll see you next thread DJ

>>35394334
Will do!! I'd appreciate any word spread about this quest if you guys liked it so much also fanart and fanworks are always appreciated i accept bribes thank you god bless

>>35394218
I think you are doing well so far. With Makoto, it feels like we have an effect on the bigger plot. It's pretty cool.

Also. Should we brainstorm on an character image for Makoto? I had read mid length hair and thought of a chin length bob haircut.

Josuke Higashikata pompadour.
No exceptions.
In loving memory of Anaru Ondori

>>35394570
Could work. I can see it being a bit wild with the way she goes about everything. Also a tom boy/athletic build. Part of me is kinda hoping for a twist or two considering a few plot points.

>>35394570
I've been imagining her with a short ponytail, something like pic related's hair.

Anything could indeed happen, my friend. All depends on the choices you guys make.
I hope I can entertain you guys~

So. Uh... Is the Makoto design already decided ? And is there a Raid Dragon Fruit arms description ?
Hope i can participate a bit in future threads, even if I have troubles because timezones and stuff.

>>35407847
It's been pretty swell. About my only "complaints", if you can even call them that, are having access to a super awesome experimental dragonfruit lockseed from the getgo instead of building up to it as an upgrade from a more normal fruit and yet another female protagonist, especially in a Kamen Rider quest of all things. But really, there's no telling whether a quest will live long enough to get to an upgrade and the female MCs are a /tg/ thing. Long as we're not a lesbian it's fine.

>>35408250
I'm currently working with DJ to draw the Dragonfruit Arms design. As for Makoto, I think the debate is still out there.

>>35392343

No. Other than mid length hair (Or a ponytail with loose strands) and a tomboy look, those were the general consensus on Makoto.

I think the in the middle of those two styles would be like pic related.

And for the lockseed stuff...
Here's the post number with Dragonfruit's lockseed description.

And the post with how it transforms the user.

I think you can find it in suptg's archive.

Makoto with Watermelon Lockseed I want this.

Also some suggestions for lockseeds.

LS-26: Plum. Lockseed weapon Ume-Ono
LS-28: Starfruit Lockseed. Weapon Starfruit Shruiken

So /tg/ what would you use as weapons for Almond and Raspberry Lockseeds?

>>35412329
Almond = Shotel

Raspberry=Flail

>>35412549
Shotel's cool but the Pineapple Lockseed is already a flail.

Whoops Totally forgot Maybe Mace instead?

>>35412759
There's already a mace too. Really cool lockseed, though I'm not spoiling since apparently there's people following the thread that haven't seen the entire show yet.

>>35412777
Maybe Numchucks? But I can see Numchucks working for Cherry.

>>35412794
Nunchaku could work yeah. Cherry already has a specific weapon because it's a special lockseed.

>>35413016
Cherry didn't have a specific weapon in the show, but that was because there was no plain cherry rider.

>>35413016
I'm sorry but I was dissapointed cherry wasn't a regular rider because I had the mental image of a Num-chuck wielding Cherry rider who's numchuck's have explosive properties.

Because well you know. Cherry bombs

>>35413016
>>35413255
>>35413281

Well, considering there's at least one Energy Lockseed based off a natural one, with a second one of dubious canonicity, it's not that much of a stretch to assume a regular Cherry lockseed would be possible. Too bad Knuckle's Fistos are already called Bombers though.

>>35413463
Indeed true. Hence why you have to wait to see what happens next! Though I do appreciate the ideas for alternate our unused potential lockseeds

It's okay. I envy you anyway. But not that much, because it's neither a Mister Dangerous nor a Mister Knuckleman lockseed. And those are the best. Followed by the Shocker Combatman lockseed.
