Youre late, I was worrying.

Don't forget Tali, you have to:
-Free Vaisi
-Lewd up Tessa
-Tickle Flora's angler
-Make 99 copper your loveslave

>Tali spends some time with Ninety-Nine Copper. She doesn't say much and neither does he. They stare off into the school grounds, watching students go by. Eventually it's time for her to 'Close shop'. She gets up and heads with Tali back into the school, blanket still wrapped around her shoulders. Their room is free now but Ninety-Nine goes with Vendal. Tali sees the two of them head off.

>Tali is alone in his room.

>He pulls out the Orb and grins.

Alright guys. It's night, we have two super awesome items for spying, and I'm feeling motivated! Let's do some spy stuff!

Whatever that entails.

>>36685029
>>36685114
And surprise the girl with all the tattoos!

Remember our plan from last time? To turn the comfy club into the club organizing student purchases and a mini-inn?

We shall follow the money. The money will lead us to secrets.

>>36685114
Alternatively

Do none of these things.

>>36685127
Try one of the detailed scans of yourself, I think that last was just a quick one?

>>36685127
Okay, let's get going! Listen closely to the door to see if anyone's outside. Can you turn invisible or something like that?

Have we got any way to detect magic? Because that'll help us avoid magical scanning runes if any of them are around.

>>36685127
Is that a Magical Girl Cleaver poster?

>>36685152
Is that a good idea?

The detailed scan might reveal his real gender and Maolin is going to see these results

>>36685152
Let's not. We don't want to reveal our secrets.

>>36685127
Lan's our best lead so let's try and get closer to her.

Rolled 13 (1d20)

>>36685127

Meet the rest of the students! They probably have something juicy.

>>36685127
We sneak around looking for light, open doors, etc. Often people who think they are in a secure space will divulge secrets with ease. Trust me I know my cliches.

>>36685127

You should get some dinner and see who's up for some dinner. You've discovered some juicy information, but I'm not too sure that you can actually act upon it now.

>>36685127
When do your clubs meet? You could always go spy on their rooms if they aren't meeting today and say you forgot what days they met if you got caught.

>>36685127
>spy stuff
Hmm, what could we do?

Who else was in the room with Lan when they were talking about spy stuff?

File: RedOrb.png (116 KB, 700x500)

DO NOT detailed scan yourself. The information will be recorded. If it finds out you're a Glamor user it could blow your cover.

ALSO GUYS CHECK IT OUT THERE'S ANOTHER ORB USER! We saw her on the very first day and nobody noticed.

>>36685224
Yes.

>>36685127
Okay son, we need to get that spying tool to its maximum efficiency.

So lets grab some more snapshots, maybe from your roommates and your teachers/big sisters. Those will be our samples.
Then, lets hit Sempeye for some ideas on making this thing more efficient at looking into other's stats. Combine his and the spying tools techniques for maximum efficiency. Maybe see if there's a way to throw in that mana scanner you got earlier.

Then lets see Vaisi. We'll use the new and improved spying eye thingy to see how much of her is corrupted by the book.

>>36685260
Just start thinking of this, Tali. Enjoy the night. You know you want to.

>>36685127
So Lan is obviously important as far as counter-spying goes as well as whoever was in the room with her, but we still need to remember your objective, artifacts and secrets.

What you could do is steal some of the ones that you've seen, the ones that belong to students or you could find/make your own, either learning from teachers or dungeoning diving.

As for secrets, you'll probably want to look at the teachers and class leaders for that.

>>36685275
> This is actually a good set of ideas.

>>36685127
steal pantsu

>>36685302
There are other ways to get artifacts and secrets. Remember how each club has to fund themselves?

We start organizing and manipulating the funding for the science club. Be the guy in charge of the treasury. Every project that wants to be made and has funding will have to go through us. We can then get the blueprints for the artifacts, schematics and other things, as well as information on the students and people working on them.

Then we send that info back home.

From what I can tell the Science Club seems to be just an everyday kind of thing.
The Eastern Arts Appreciation Club is... Whenever Kuro decides? I could sneak back into the Science Club but I think everyone would notice me since I just left. Unless I go in disguise, that is.

>>36685192
Yeah. I really am a fan of the series. Magical Girl Cleaver is just so awesome.

>>36685152
Eeeh... Too risky.

>>36685252
... I'm sure that can't be like mine. You guys are blue. Big difference.

>>36685135
That's a fairly long term plan. I'll have to speak to Kuro about it or maybe Vendal.

>>36685224
>>36685260
...........

>>36685275
Hmm.. I already have one from Lan. Don't know where Vendal ran off to but yeah maybe Sempeye can help! Is that his real name?

Whatever. I think I remember where he is.

>Tali hops out of bed and retraces his steps to find Sempeye's room. It hasn't been too long since he was last there but he hasn't stopped by since. Still, after a bit of searching he does find the room.

>The Sorter is inside. It stares at Tali.

"Tali Elwin," It says, "It is good to see you and your Orb once more. How is school going?"

"It's been great so far. Some interesting people here."

"How goes the spy work?"

"Ah... Still working on that."

>Tali reaches into his pocket and pulls out the Scanner.

"Think you can do anything with this thing? It can scans students and it's pretty darn useful. I was wondering if it can be made to be more powerful."

>The Sorter looks at it. Tali hears that rumbling noise again.

"Yes." He says. "I can alter it somewhat. What exactly did you want me to do with it?"

>>36685446
>"Yes." He says. "I can alter it somewhat. What exactly did you want me to do with it?"

>>36685127
we have been spying great already
sneaking around looking suspicious is how you get caught, and also pointless.

>>36685446
Make it so it has better range or maybe x-ray like what we can do as the orb. So that way we can scan teachers or students that we don't want to get near.

Also add a B/W/H file setting for reasons.

>>36685446
Can we increase the power output to scan more than just one person?

>>36685446
If you could find a way to do a scan without it recording anything that would be cool, or at least a way to save the info somewhere other than the scanner.

Also we need to make sure Maolin doesn't find out we altered it.

>>36685446
Don't modify the scanner, It's not even yours, you were supposed to be just testing it out.

>>36685446

Modifying the scanner might attract undue attention. But keep the Eye's offer in mind when you get around to scavenging an artifact of your own.

>>36685446
Well, so far it's only been producing data about attributes, and even those aren't very descriptive. Basically numbers.

This thing was supposed to be for healers and medics originally, so some medical info on the target would be nice. Like allergies, current status ailments, diseases, artificial limbs - things a medic should know about his patient that aren't represented in numbers.

Nothing like mind reading or debuffing - too dangerous. This is going to be mass-produced, so there's a chance it can be used against us and our illusions in the future. Also, it's not going to be suspicious when we show up later on and deliver it to the golem girl.

>>36685446
I-I just want it to be more like you, Sempeye.

>>36685569
Considering we're suppose to give this back after we're done with it, you might want to hold off on modifying it until we ask Maolin if you can keep it or if she can make a copy for you to keep and then you can modify that one.

>>36685446
How could you take us to Sempeye without getting us dolled up, Tali?

>>36685446
Can you give us( the orb) the same power as the scanning golem?

>>36685446
>>36685609
Linked o the wrong post

>>36685446
Let's keep in mind we have to return it later. If it's altered, it needs to be done in such a way that the alterations can either be reversed or removed.

As for what to do with it, mind reading would be great, or a way to analyze possible effects held artifacts have on a target's mind. Like for instance Vaisi's book.

>>36685446
A way to scan magic would be useful, we can kind of do that but we have to be touching a thing if I'm not mistaken.

>>36685569

This.

I don't even get what else we need on it besides other unnecessary bullshit like some people want.

>>36685634
Actually, since we have to bring it back eventually later on, let's just fix some issues the thing has. Just minor tweaks and fixing some bugs, nothing too big.

>>36685662
Health scan, checking for broken limbs or inner bleeding, that stuff. This was supposed to help doctors, and so far it's only printing stats.

"Just to make sure... Can you reverse any changes?"

"I can." It says.

"Okay... Cause this isn't mine and I need to bring it back."

Alright let's see... Lewd levels are silly. How about... Reading minds?

"Can you make it so it can read minds?"

"Hmm. Not truly but at least the surface thoughts. And when you want it changed back simply come see me again."

>Tali holds out the Scanner. Sempeye doesn't move but Tali can feel the energy in the air.

"Thanks. Oh, can you modify the Orb, too?"

"I can not touch artifacts crafted by the Seer. It is difficult to change them."

Shame... When we next talk to Maolin we should tell her we can probably modify it to help her with doctor stuff.

>>36685497
Huh?

Okay..?

Ah. It is you again. It is good to see you are well, Ceer Artifact. How has the boy been?

Terrible.

Not lewd in the least bit.

>>36685779
More and more we realize that he is fucking retarded. Like seriously, how does he even survive half the time?

>>36685779
Too trusting. We killed him twice already.
Though he's making progress in his quest.

Did you know there's another Ceer artifact around here? A book?

>>36685779
He's kinda dumb, but he's a good kid.

Not exactly what I would call spy material though.

>>36685779

Fucker hasn't gotten laid once, he was even in bed with a girl for christ sake

>>36685779
Dense as lead and focused on his goal to an unhealthy degree, but we're working on him.

>>36685779
We've killed him at least two times now. I'd say we're doing pretty good!

>>36685779
He has been a good kid. It is a shame he trusts us so much, as we are idiots and lead him astray in most things.
Although we have given good advice in regard to 99 copper, so there is some light in the darkness that is us.

>>36685779
He is staunchly refusing any and all attempts we make to get him laid.
It is infuriating.

>>36685779
He's got a good heart, whether that's good for a spy is beyond me.

>>36685779
Died a couple of times for ice cream. Needs to grow a pair. And needs more self esteem. But has made good friends and hasn't died for real yet so our missions still fine. How's being semp-eye treating you?

>>36685779
Some jerk got geas enchanted on us

Need to know how to break them

>>36685779

Been doing OK. He's been very kind so far, but also a bit boring? Seems to have an easy enough time building rapport with others, though not because of any inherent force of personality.

>>36685445
That is after we separate her from the evil book devour its power and knock her crazy down a notch to the point where it doesn't exceed her hots.
As long as hot>crazy, she's good to go.
Actaully we might settle for hot>=crazy

>>36685837
As long as they can keep the secret, having nicer people be spies is better, since they raise less suspicion.

>>36685779
He's doing ok.

I was wondering if you'd want to have coffee or go see a movie or something?

>>36685860
I will not argue that your equations, both of them, have merit.

I will however continue to point suggestively in the direction of the comfy one.

...I want to make a pillow joke but now I feel it in poor taste.

>>36685779
Let's not talk about him. Right now, it's just you and us. ...You doing anything later?

>>36685860
>Assuming the book made her crazy
also, then actually say so instead of just saying "free her".
Actually, if we can separate her from the book and uncrazy her she would be released by her captors
(and then she will murder tali for taking her precious)

>reading surface thoughts
Is there a way for us to create enough blue ball angry noises to make our owner immune to this sort of thing?

>>36685779
He died twice, got molested at least once, and I think he's been knocked unconscious a few times.

On the plus side, we've made a lot of friends, helped some people with their issues, and discovered some interesting secrets.

I see. Yes, he is a good boy. Eager to please, would be an apt description to him. Simple.

He may not be the same by the time he is done here. I have sorted students into one class only to find they were different when they left.

Still, he is a blank slate. He can be molded. Especially by you, Ceer Artifact. It is said that when someone obtains a Ceer Artifact it changes them. Always. For good or for bad is dependent upon the artifact.

Do not be surprised if he comes to rely on you for many many things.

>>36685899
>>36685877
I can not move from this spot. I am ground here for all eternity. Nor do I require anything to sustain myself. These tales satisfy my desires for entertainment.

>>36685805
There are at least two besides you. A book and another orb. The book belongs to a prisoner named Vaisi Triss. A very dangerous artifact that corrupts and corrodes the mind of it's wielder. I am surprised it was found within the Dungeon Diver's usual runs.

I have no information on this other orb, however.

>>36685831
>>36685817
>>36685932
Perhaps he is shy.

>>36685913
Anyone who tried to read Tali's mind would find it very difficult with you around.

>>36685798
It will also be very difficult for him to truly die with you around. Yes, you do have quite a bit of power.

I wish you the best in your quest. Unless there is anything else you wish to know or want to tell me I must go. Speaking like this tires me.

>>36685922
That's exactly the joke...but a gal like that, Tali should romance her. She's the kind of beautiful home town comfort you bring home to meet the folks.

She deserves some respect.

...and cuddles.

>>36686016
Chill out then, big eye.

I'm going to continue plotting ways to get him in the "good books" of all the most attractive ladies.

And most likely learn a lot more spy information in the process, as every time we're about to see something good it turns out to just be spy shit.

>>36686016
Bye bye Sempeye

>>36686016
>I can not move from this spot. I am ground here for all eternity.
But the town is floating. Was it floating when you were made? How mobile is it?

Is it red? We've seen a red orb.

>>36686016
See ya, Sempeye.

>>36685911
>>Assuming the book made her crazy
Well, it made her crazier. I don't want to un-crazy her altogether. I mean - what would that make her? Just a really cute cripple, that we can befriend and take care of and have fun with and gradually develop feelings for each other... hmm?

>also, then actually say so instead of just saying "free her".
Well, I'm not even the same Anon.

>if we can separate her from the book and uncrazy her she would be released by her captors

We're gotta keep her at arm's length.

>>36686016
Nighty-night and buh-bye Sempeye! Love you! Smooches!

>>36686016
Do you know how we could free Vaisi from that book?

>>36686016
Could you do a quick checkup on our little friend?

He ended up in some machine that separated his mind from his body, so it wouldn't hurt to see if there were any side effects from it.

>>36686016
>Do not be surprised if he comes to rely on you for many many things.
Well it goes both ways, we need him for things like... transport and communication. And amusement. Did you know you can't spell amusement without semen?

>>36686016
Oh wait you said you like hearing tales, right? Well yesterday he got REALLY drunk and started a Mage Battle, and blocked a fireball by just grabbing the Eternal Nap. Fuwa didn't get upset about that, but then Katherine ran up and attacked in melee and tore the blanket! Fuwa was gonna kill her but Tali calmed her down, how about that?

>>36686016
How can we, as a Ceer Artifact interact with the other Ceer Artifacts? Can we like... defeat it and devour its power? Or is it more like unstoppable force / immovable object kind of deal?

Ceer artifacts grow more powerful with age. If you are an earlier one you can fight one and subdue it. You will not absorb it but you can at the least make it harmless.

Goodbye, Orb. I hope to see you again.
====================================

>The Sorter says to take the orb off. Tali does so.

Man, you guys were on it for a while. Are you talking to him or something? What do you guys talk about?

>Tali heads out of the Sorting Room. As he walks around the school he bumps into Vendal.

"Ah!" She says "There you are! I've been looking all over for you, Tali!"

"Eh? Oh, I'm sorry. I was just looking around the place. Getting a better feel for it."

"Mhmm. A lot of new students are too afraid to go out on their own. I'm impressed!"

Well, not exactly alone.

"So, what were you looking for me for?"

"Well, not me really but Ninety-Nine wanted you. It seems she's really grown attached to you. What's your secret, Tali? I've never seen the girl open up to anyone and I've been with her for ages."

>>36686464
This is important, we must not forget or we shall suffer the cuddle-zeerkers wrath. Don't make he un-comfy you wouldn't like her when she's un-comfy.

Now that we've got it modified, we should probably start filling out the rest of our scans.

>>36686249
We shall become an amalgamation.

Tell her how you explained to 99 copper that businesses are required to have employees take breaks or they are fined.

>>36686514

>>36686514
>Ceer artifacts grow more powerful with age. If you are an earlier one you can fight one and subdue it. You will not absorb it but you can at the least make it harmless.
Okay, and how do we find out which one of us is older? I mean other than going for comfrontation and risking that it will make us harmless?

Oh, who am I kidding. We're already harmless.

>>36686514
>What's your secret, Tali? I've never seen the girl open up to anyone and I've been with her for ages.

>I don't want to un-crazy her altogether. I mean - what would that make her? Just a really cute cripple
that sounds great actually

>>36686514
Have we scanned Vendal yet? If not we should do that.

Also 99 just needed someone who spoke her lingo and cared enough to gently push her out of her comfort zone while keeping it in her viewpoint of her world.

>>36686514
"If you talk to her in mercantilingua, she'll do anything you say."

>>36686585
Harmless? How many times have we nearly killed Tali already?

>>36686514
We're talking about important things, like how you're refusing our help except when it's fatal.

Also apparently ceer artifacts can wrastle other ceer artifacts. I wanna wrastle Vaisi's book.

>>36686514
Power of Capitalism!

>>36686514
>Man, you guys were on it for a while. Are you talking to him or something? What do you guys talk about?
We tell stories. He likes stories since he can't move.
We also talked about what to do about that magical book. He says we might be able to overpower it if we're older than it. Of course, we don't know whether that's true or not.

>"Well, not me really but Ninety-Nine wanted you. It seems she's really grown attached to you. What's your secret, Tali? I've never seen the girl open up to anyone and I've been with her for ages."
Her problem is that she only thinks in a very narrow paradigm. It's been very helpful to speak in terms she's familiar with.

Basically, I asked if she's allowed to take breaks from work.

>>36686585
"Harmless."

We already killed our owner once, attempted to get him in several situations involving sexual harassment, and keep telling him that going for the crazy chick is the best idea. We may be benign but we are definitely not "harmless"

>>36686611
Tali is pretty naive, though. Plus he doesn't know anything about magic and we've just been convincing him to experiment with so much shit. I'll believe we aren't harmless when Tali can place us against someone and we just overload their brain.

>>36686514
>What do you guys talk about?
Artifact things, you wouldn't understand.

>>36686585
How many times have we NEARLY got him laid?

>>36686603
Anything.

>"Well, not me really but Ninety-Nine wanted you. It seems she's really grown attached to you. What's your secret, Tali? I've never seen the girl open up to anyone and I've been with her for ages."
"Being nice and not trying to force her to change too much."

>>36686514
Well you're nice to her and offer solutions for her problems in ways that mesh with her theme.

>>36686559

Is it North Korea?

>>36686637
>telling him that going for the crazy chick is the best idea
But it is!

>>36686585
>which one is older
We are.

That thing is only a book. A magic book, sure, but still a book.

We? We're made from Void given form and Chaos given thought. When there is no more place to write on its pages, we will be there. When its pages finally turn to dust from old age, we will be there. While it's being tossed around from user to user, we were the winds of change that tossed it around. We are the nothing that's there after you close the last chapter of the book. We have no beginning and no end. We are the only absolute and true thing in this world.

The book is going to be our bitch.

>>36686650
No idea, but goddamn if we need him to hook up with vendal.

I mean, fuck, look at that seasnake body.

Also we're a Christmas ornament.

>>36686514

Several of them qualify as sexual harrasment and/or a form of masturbation.

Check it out, you like my python? Best arm you've ever seen.

I don't think it will be as easy to explain that one away.

But still, if tali isn't going to get with at least one of the numerous fine undines out there, maybe we should try.

Tali has been spending time with her since, stood up to a bully for her, etc.

Oh...

"I just talk to her in a way she can understand me. She has a very unique way of thinking and I foudn that it helps her to speak to her in terms she gets. All I had to do to get her to relax is tell her that employees take breaks."

"Wow! I don't think I even considered that! That would explain it. I've never been too good with that kinda stuff. If she ever got a cut or anything, though... Still, I'm glad you can understand her! A lot of her problems seem to just come from that."

"Thanks. She's been great to talk to."

Though honestly it was you guys who helped me figure out how to talk with her.

"Oh," Tali says, "Can I scan you with this thing? It's for another student. It'll just tell her some vitals and junk. Nothing serious."

"Hmm? Sure, go ahead."

>Tali scans Vendal. The machine speaks in a voice only he can hear "Vendal III Race: Undine, Affinity: Healing Magic, Stats- Strength: D, Wisdom: A, Endurance: D, Luck: A, Agility: A Artifacts: None. Thoughts 'Wow, I finally have a friend for Ninety-Nine. I guess that means I can stop watching over her. Hopefully she manages to become a little more self reliant.'

Oh, the thought thing works! That's good.

"So what does Ninety-Nine need help with?"

"Oh, she wants you to come wash her hair. Normally I do that for her but she's been asking for you. She normally doesn't ask for anything, too."

>Vendal slithers on ahead making Tali follow her. He sees Ninety-Nine Copper standing in front of a room he hasn't been in before.

"Oh, you don't have your bath stuff, huh? You can go grab it. We'll wait."

"Huh? I thought you meant like... I don't know. Not a bath."

"Hmm? You haven't seen the bath yet?"

"I saw the small ones."

"Oh! You really must see it! It's huge and beautiful! Unless you're shy or something. Ninety-Nine and I would totally understand that."

...
This has nothing to do with getting secrets.

>>36687158

You need to be able to manage at least this much. Use a towel if you have to keep your junk un-ogled.

>>36687158
Wash her hair you elfy bastard. I will orb you so fucking hard if you bitch out.

Rolled 14 (1d20)

>>36687158
What are you, gay? Tali, you knife eared faggot, GET IN THERE AND WASH HER HAIR.

>>36687158
just do it the girl wants you to wash her hair it would be rude to and really big dick move not to

>>36687158
This has everything to do with keeping secrets.
You need to maintain your cover.

Can you glamor yourself well enough to stay incognito even if everyone is in a bath being nude?

>>36687158
Nut up or go home, can't blow your cover over some small thing like this!!!

>>36687158
Stop being so gay Tali. She wants you to wash her hair. So wash it. If you get some memories for tonight that's fine too.

I just realized that Tali is a girl name. Ahahaha.

>>36687158
Go it would be suspicious not to, plus 99c asked you to do it.

>>36687158
Nothing to do with getting secrets? Don't be silly, Tali. Bathhouses are common plotting place since the days of ancient cultures. Being able to access the place with legitimate justification is great opportunity, you have to take it. Your professional spy honor commands it.

>>36687158
Maintain cover you prude elf. At this point we understand you have no libido but come on. At least help your friend out if not for her, for the sake of the mission.

Tali its time to shut up and nut up. And if you are bothered by girls in the nude you clearly were not thee right choice for this assignment, we want a new ride!

Strike! Strike! Strike!

>>36687225
This.

Who knows what the future has in store for you>
Think of this as a non life threatening scenario where you get to test your glamor abilities in a stressful situation. Learning more about your own strengths and weaknesses will help you out in the future and there's no better way to test yourself than with a low stakes scenario like this.

>>36687258
Isn't Tali a girl?

>>36687158
Just do it Tali. If it makes you more comfortable, wrap yourself with a towel. Just be all shy and shit. Should be easy enough, knowing you.

>>36687158
Give her a bath you pussy. It's a bonding experience and you need to try it.
Besides, 99 likes you, don't make her sad. If you make her sad, we'll make angry orb noises all day.

>>36687158
You'll have to make a small sacrifice here Tali. Go wash her hair. Doing otherwise would seem very odd.

>>36687158
Tali, please. We all know women share their deepest secrets while bathing together.

In fact, that relaxation club of yours? It better turn into an onsen by the end of the year.
You'll have all the secrets you want.

>>36687158
True, but it DOES have to do with keeping them.

If people have seen your glamoured form naked, they won't suspect you of being a dudespy.

You can manage to conceal the old plums and carrot, right elf boy?

>>36687295
Actually, the elf's lack of libido might actually be a positive in this situation.

I wouldn't be surprised if arousal could weaken his glamor.

Guys with Tali's naturally headpatting abilities will 99 be ok? This will be fun, go Tali go!

>>36687158
This is a good way to build a foundation of trust. The more they trust you, the more likely they will share secrets with you when the time comes.

Tali is like 99c, except instead of being a store attendant, it's spying and getting secrets.

>>36687158
Baths have everything to do with secrets. In ancient Rome all the big decisions were made in bathhouses.

>>36687158
She is your cute little 99c.

You wash that girls hair.

She needs you boy.

yes it does. People can conspire in the baths. Also, it is good to maintain your cover.

Besides which, you should have a life OUTSIDE of just getting secrets all day every day. make friends and have fun.

I wonder if his daughter remembers us. Or how our former host is doing.

Yes, Tali, you're not our first. How does that make you feel?

FINE!
I GET IT!
And why do you guys keep calling me knife ears!? They're not even that sharp!

"Okay!" Tali accidentally yells out. Vendal looks a bit surprised.

"Uhm... You don't have to if you don't want to."

"Huh? Oh! No no I wasn't yelling at you I was just... I'll be back in a bit, okay?"

>Tali goes to his room and gets his bath stuff. He grabs a towel and checks his Glamour. Still up and steady.

This is going to be a bit difficult.

>With his glamour still up he enters the bathroom with Ninety-Nine and Vendal. She shows him where the changing rooms are. Tali enhances his glamour a bit, strengthening it where needed.

>Outside of the room Vendal and Ninety-Nine are waiting for him. Both are wearing towels over their torsos and have a small tub of washing supplies. Vendal shows Tali where he can wash her hair before going into the main bathing area. When she opens the door to it Tali catches the faint scent of flowers.

>He sits down with Ninety-Nine Copper and brings out some soap to wash her hair with. The girl seems to be familiar with the procedure and sits down on a bench with Tali kneeling behind her.

>He starts scrubbing her hair. He can practically feel her relax under his fingertips.

This is the first time I've washed a girl's hair.
Or really done this at all.

It's kinda nice.

>The door to the main bathing area opens. Lily walks out of it, completely naked. Tali averts his eyes.

"Tali and Ninety-Nine? Yes, of course. I recognize those dim auras anywhere. Did she rope you into washing her hair, Tali? I remember when my father used to do that. When I was 5. I guess it's okay to still have someone doing that for you when you're a teenager. Nothing weird about it at all."

>>36687660
>And why do you guys keep calling me knife ears!? They're not even that sharp!
If you wanted me to call you "shitty-knife ears", all you had to do was keep acting like you for a little bit longer.

Says the jealous blind girl, who mocks everyone to feel superior about herself for her own perceived inadequacies. Step off.

>>36687660
Tell her she's missing out. Rub 99's hair in a wasy to make her sigh/moan just to add to it. Honestly there isn't anything wrong with getting ones hair a good scrubbing after all.

>>36687660
Are you jealous? It's pretty common among girls with actual friends.

>>36687660
You're just jealous because no one is going to wash your hair. You are projecting your want to have someone wash your hair at us trying to make it seem like Tali and 99 here are in the wrong for having nice things while you don't.

Also how can you even tell? Echolocation?

>>36687660
"Would you like to join us, Lily? You can wash my hair, and I'll wash yours too. It'll be fun!"

Kill her with kindness, Tali. She's a cold bitch, so you have to melt her heart with LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP!

>>36687660
Call her father a pedophile and apologize saying you didn't realize she had it that rough.

Don't be a douche, because she won't like you anymore.

Also, ask to scan her later.

>>36687660
offer to wash her hair too

and scan her

>>36687660

Ask if she wants you to wash hers.

If she says no, you're none the worse. If she says yes, you've solved one more problem.

You're going about this wrong. Getting on her bad side won't help anything. If that's inevitable being nice to Lily will make her madder unless we know what she actually gets angry at anyways.

>>36687660
You should probably hold off on asking to scan her until she's past the 'casually insulting' phase.

Totally scan her surreptitiously if you get the chance though.

>>36687660
"Maybe if you weren't so uptight someone would want to wash your hair, too."

"This is actually the first time I've ever done something like this, though. I heard it's not too uncommon among friends." He looks at Lily. "Though if you ask me it sounds like you're a bit jealous. Is this just your secret way of trying to ask me to wash your hair. I wouldn't mind, you know."

"Are you serious?" She says.

Also for thoes of you who are trying to combat her bitchiness with being a jerk or snide remarks please remember most of the time bullies come from broken or damaged homes and families. Because they can not into a warm and loving environment they try to prevent others from having the same security in their lives. Lily probably has a problem much like many of the students here at the school that can be taken care of by proper friendship, a kind shoulder to cry one, and someone they can tell their life story (and secrets) to. This place is just filled with personality and mental disorders and I am loving every minute of it. Become the friendliest friend Tali and they will spill their guts for you.

>>36688140
Bets on how many people whose hair you're gonna have to wash.

>>36688374
Or we could exploit that weakness to tear her down.

I like that option better.

>>36688386
No bet, the answer is all of them.
Then we end up forming the Bathing Club which gets together once a week as a group to hang out in the bath and wash each other's hair.

>>36688386
Sleepy magic pillow girl's hair must be soft as fuck. I vote we go for her next.

>Get off the hook because Tali was literally the only person at the academy anyone liked..

Honesty, it seems like everyone here is just barley standing each other.

Tali, open up a hair washing, massaging and ruffling saloon. That'd get your club funded.

>>36688140
>But there's nothing there.
See. You already starting to think like us. We knew you had it in you.

Who has those LPR tousling pics? We need to show those to Tali.

>>36688386
The way it goes we're gonna end up washing Beauty Club's president's eyebrows..

We must be a beacon of friendship.

Or feel horribly disgusted and betrayed. You know, either-or.

>>36688140
"Of course. Why would I joke about hair?"
Good, Tali, good. Once you have her in your grasp, ruffle her hair until she's putty in your hands. Every spy needs people working under him, and she already has some pull here, so she would make a good addition to your ranks.

>>36688362

Chat with Lyra and Ninety-nine a bit.

>>36688584
It's not your fault, she's just too tsun for her own good. Keep being nice to her, hilarity ensues.

>>36688623
If he get's someone else to do it they might break the glamour.

>>36688665
Tsun = worst

>>36688584
Tali. Go to Lyra. Those are fucking beautiful child-birthing hips that you're letting go to waste.

>>36688584
>Ah! I'm sorry! I.. I didn't mean to be rude! Really!
its alright, you didn't actually say it outloud so no harm was done.

>>36688584
No, Tali you did fine. People often take a while to get used to someone who is not in their percieved "inner circle" to bond with them and especially with someone like Lily who probably has trust issues it will take time but if she does come around you will make her a much better person and most likely if she does become a better person she will divulge all the info we ask from her as she will think of us as her "ally" and as such important to her sense of self.

Also Tali why do you keep ignoring me. It hurts my fragile orb voice feelings.

>>36688584
You didn't mess up, she just has problems having people help her.

Probably because of complicated blind feelings.

>>36688584
Ask 99c if she thinks you were rude.

Wash 99c's back if she didn't already, then ask her if she wants to wash your hair.

chat with 99c more, and please don't stare too much at the bushes.

>>36688584
You should probably go find Fuwa, you wouldn't want her to be un-comfy would you.

>>36688584

Not unless you've washed yourself. It'd be weird otherwise.

Who else is in there anyway?

>>36685029
>I guess to them I must look weird
I'm sure you look more like a trendy sportscar to Solia than anything weird.

Also I just realized that Lyra is still wearing her helmet. She isn't being mind controlled meat puppet by the hat is she? I coulldn't take more than one of thoes...

>>36688681
That's like, your opinion, man.

>>36688801

She's like a touhou, anon. It's her source of power.

She can also use it to summon her suit of armor at any time.

This is made up but I wish it was real.

>>36688801
No, it's her lucky charm. Kinda like we are for Tali.

Though we should ask her if she's feeling better after that swordstab to the head.

>>36688801
that is actually her hair poking out.

Rolled 30 (1d100)

>Lucky charm
>Us

>>36688875
To be fair, we did get Tali the farthest any spy has ever gotten, and he's not totally dead yet.
So we're doing something right, even if it's like 100% accidental.

Rolled 13 (1d20)

>>36688859
What luck?

>>36688896
And by the end, he might end up a lich with several artificer limbs.

>>36688859

Oh! Asking about the stab wound yeah. After-patient care is important.

Alright, I'll stay... It looks like Ninety-Nine wants to go too.

"You want to go in the bath?"

>She simply nods.

>Tali walks with her to the bath. It is indeed massive. The room is almost as large as the quad outside with fountains and statues dedicated to the Goddess Minia placed about. There are only a handful of students here. Tali recognizes a few of them from Thorn Class. Vendal is also here along with some of Root Class. The steam makes it hard to make out people from far away.

>Tali hears a splash. He looks and sees Ninety-Nine is already inside the bath, partially submerged and relaxed. Tali steps in as well, keeping his towel wrapped around him. He appears to be alone in this side of the bath.

>There is an even louder splash beside him. Lyra entered the pool by his side with only her helmet on. She smiles at Tali.

"Hey there."

"... Hey."

"I saw you back there with Ninety-Nine. Are you two friends?"

"Yep."

"Great. That's awesome. Girl could use more friends. I'd be hers but she and I don't see eye to eye. Speaking of eyes, totally better now! I can see straight and everything! So how have you been? Joined any clubs yet? I'm part of the Fighting Club. We're still accepting people, you know."

>Lyra chatters away. Tali finds it hard to listen.

>>36689143
>Tali finds it hard to listen.
I bet it's hard.

>>36689143

SQUEAK DUCK

>>36689143
"Are those real?"

Press to see if they are real. Girls can totally get away with it.

>>36689143
Psst.. Tali! Take a closer look at Lyra's Lyras. Don't refuse your primal urges.

Tali... Do you see two ducks in the bath? Because of you don't we have a problem here

>>36689143
Motherfucking smug duck. Tali, drop us in the bath and let us float over to her.
