While Elena hurries off to retrieve Inaba's cage, Carina holds the bunny in her arms like she's the most fragile thing in the world.

"You like bunnies?" you ask.
"I dunno," Carina mumbles.
"So you -don't- like bunnies?"
"I- I didn't say that," she mumbles.

Best not to tease Carina, you're not sure how well she'd take your usual antics.

"Well Inaba certainly seems to like -you-," you say as you reach down and scratch the bunny between the ears.
"She does?" Carina asks.
"Well she's being good and letting you hold her instead of running all over the place like she does sometimes..."

Seemingly picking up on your cue to do something cute, Inaba picks that moment to lick Carina's hand and make her giggle.

"Excuse meee!" Rana shouts.
"Uh..." both you and Carina stare at the bikini-clad girl as she runs towards the carriage.

This is far too WHAT to ignore

So, anyone want to speculate on whether our efforts to help Karel out will improve Marianne's opinion of us or worsen it, once our machinations become more widely known?

>>37191174
It'll most likely be more:
>"Goddammit, now Luciana's rubbing off on him."

>>37191233
>"Goddammit, now Luciana's rubbing him off."

Fixed.

>>37191233
Luciana is doing WHAT to him?

>>37191174
I think Marianne will always appreciate any efforts to help family.

That also reminded me, I had an idea for a devilish scheme. When we asked Nico for advice about Marianne, she said that we should

a. stop doing stupid things
b. try giving her a cute drawing, she really likes them

I'll do my best to enforce a, but I know /tg/. However, we can do b pretty easily. I was thinking we just make a sketch of Marianne and Luciana, for bonus GF points. I'm also assuming that we can copy fast and/or use a spell to copy it.

maybe back to back with mari using ice magic and luci light/fire?

>>37191249
>>37191257
Shoulda seen that coming.

>>37191266
If anything, it can be something we can commission to Marius if he's not too busy.

>>37191266
>b. try giving her a cute drawing, she really likes them

Sketch the drawing of Emilo's face when he realized that Karel was so much in his strike zone he now wants to hit it?

>>37191296
I feel the personal touch would be a bit better, no? We can hardly buy our way into the heart of a princess.

>>37191301
That's something we give to Karel.

>>37191266

We should totally get Marianne and Karl to dress up identically and draw a picture of them.

>>37191342
>implying it wouldn't be a wedding present for the two

>writing

>>37191352
OR - we could do a drawing of Karel in an elegant gown on the arm of the dashing swordsman (axeman?) Marianne (see OP image for uniform).

>>37191266
We could always draw a sketch of Mari tickling Luci.

"What exactly are you doing?" you call out to the dragon girl.
"One minute!" she shouts back as she practically leaps inside the carriage.

Stepping back and crossing her arms while she waits for Rana to finish with whatever she's doing in there, Elena doesn't look all too pleased about the sudden obstruction to her search for Inaba's cage. Fortunately, she's only forced to wait a few seconds before the dragon girl emerges with a bundle of something in her hands.

"Sorry about that, Elena!" Rana says to the Princess with an awkward smile before running back over to you and Carina.
"Whatever..." Elena mumbles.

In total seriousness, she has been rubbing off on Reinhold a lot. He's a giant tease these days.

Which is a fun thing.

>>37191445
We have so many things in our mind that are potential sketches we need to just lock ourselves in our room for a few hours to get it all down. The worst mistake an artist can make is think, "It's fine, I'll start on this later."

"I take it that that's what you were running to get?" you say, pointing at the contents of Rana's hands.
"Yup," she nods. "Mind holding this for a second?"
"Uh, okay?" you say as she hands you something...

...a pair of shorts?

"What's this for?" you ask.
"Even -I- have enough shame not to go to a ROYAL DINNER while in a bikini, Reinhold," Rana says as she holds her hands over her head and lets a shirt slide down over her upper half. Once it's on, she snatches the shorts from your hands and steps into them with her bare feet, wiggling her hips a bit as she pulls them up.

You weren't staring at all. No sir.

"And now I am decent!" Rana says, posing for the two of you before relaxing back into her usual stance.
"Umm," Carina looks up at you, "how come she got changed in front of us?"


>how do you respond?

>>37191577
>That's just who she is. Don't start that yourself though.

>Come on now, let's get inside.

She's just weird like that

>>37191577

Carina, don't take after her OK?

>>37191470
Yeah, Rein could do with toning down some of the teasing before it really irritates someone.

If we're looking for cute things to draw for Marianne, how about a sketch of her giving her newfound cousin a hug? Rein of all people knows just how good a feeling FAMILY ACQUIRED feelings are.

"Because Rana doesn't have much of sense of shame, unlike us mere mortals.

But we're probably better off with her wearing something more than a bikini, and human-sized rather than as huge as she can get. So I say we give this incident a pass, for now."

If Rana really wanted attention she could go to dinner in dragon form.

"Well, you see Carina, Rana's actually a dragon. A nice one, not one of the scary ones, unless she wants to, but she's nice so she doesn't. Anyway, because she's a dragon, she can shift into dragon form, and everyone knows that dragons, when they're big and dragony don't where clothes at all. They're just too big and strong to wear clothes without ripping them and anyway their scales do a good job of protecting them from the elements and covering their modesty. The thing is, Rana got really used to not needing clothes in dragon form, so she's a little more comfortable than most people being underdressed in public. It's understandable if a little bit quirky, but for the rest of us that actually suffer form things like cold, sunburns and a sense of modesty it's always important to be appropriately dressed in public. Right Rana? Just nod your head yes..."

>>37192063
Actually all they'd have to do is molest him and he'd cave.

>>37192045
Rana would make reinhold face his fears of T&A head on.

That might be a good thing.

>>37192110
Fun loving sex and playfulness. Yeah she'd probably be able to get him over his slump. She's also not concerned with him appearing weak in private moments because... she's a dragon. All humans come off as squishy.

And then Reya swoops in to explain that isn't actually an excuse...while Rana is standing behind him making silly faces during the lecture.

"Because she didn't have to take off any clothes to do it?" you say, shrugging.
"That's right," Rana replies, holding up a finger for added emphasis. "I didn't get CHANGED in front of you, I got DRESSED in front of you. It's completely different."
"Oh," Carina replies, nodding as if this is some incredibly important lesson that she's just been taught.
"That's not any better, you know..." you sigh. "Anyways, Rana did that because she's just weird like that. Try not to take after her too much, okay?"

"How come you didn't take a bath first before you got changed?" Carina asks. "Melanie told me that's what you're sposta do..."
"Oh, I had a nice long bath in the lake before we got here," Rana replies, patting the little girl on the head. "Don't worry, I'm plenty clean."
"Oh."

Always one to appreciate cute things, Rana pats Inaba and then Carina on their heads a few times while you wait for Elena to come back with the cage.

"Okay, I got it!" Elena calls out as she runs over to where the three of you are waiting.

And then she looks past you...

"Huh?" Elena squints her eyes. "Everyone else left us?"
"Yeah, they went on ahead," Rana replies. "And since you were still out here, I tool the opportunity to get dressed while Reya ran off to stuff his face with the others."

Not that you can really blame them.

Elena then spends the next few minutes trying to coerce Inaba into her cage so that the rest of you can get going. At first it looks like there's no hope of the bunny agreeing to go inside, but then Rana threatens to leave her out here in the gate area and that seems to scare her into doing as she's told.

You have no idea how a rabbit can even understand human words (well technically they're dragon words), but you're not one to complain about results.

He needs to see about becoming mayor of Cateno or something, spending a weekend clearing out the worst of the human refuse, and start investing in making it not-such-a-shithole.

You grow up going hungry on a regular basis. The only reason you're blessed with the ability to read and write is because you lucked out working in a whore house.

You witness people being murdered every day.

Suddenly you're surrounded by people living in massive homes who consume and waste vast amounts of food on a regular basis. They wear gilded finery when you never had so much as two coppers to rub together.

On top of this they're shocked that people in your situation are not educated.

I assume some of the older adventuring types like Thierri went hungry at least once during rough times.

>>37193082
Reinhold would rather live with the most spoiled aristocrats on the planet than be stuck in Cateno once again.

Though I wonder how magic factor in things like class inequality in this setting. It's clearly a thing the nobles are more used to, but there seems to be some applications, like lamps and stuff, that shows a lot of people can probably live a comfortable lifestyle with its help.

>>37193167
>>37193168
>>37193173
Maybe Rein is here to open their world in how the lower class live and realize their actions can and will affect them if or when they ascend to the throne.
>>37193190
Thierri and the guys only went hungry due to poor hunting, not being so poor they couldn't buy food. And that was only temporary.

>>37193167
I think the problem is that Rein is so good at acting like an actual intelligent, educated person most of the time that they keep forgetting he dragged his way out of the gutter.

>>37193190
>Though I wonder how magic factor in things like class inequality in this setting. It's clearly a thing the nobles are more used to, but there seems to be some applications, like lamps and stuff, that shows a lot of people can probably live a comfortable lifestyle with its help.
True, but widespread application would require widespread education about how to properly use and cast magic without committing mistakes. Plus there might be the challenge of lower class superstitions, costs of reagents, etc.

>Getting pissy with your employer because they're rich sounds like a good way to lose your well-paid job
Yeah that is retarded I just meant it would be understandable if he was a little jaded, doesn't mean he would be a total edgelord.

>>37193190
You think /tg/ would have played him differently when he met Marianne for the first time had we known about his past from the beginning?
Maybe we might have been a little less retarded?

Given how self-loathing Marianne is I'd be surprised if she didn't already beat herself up over being rich too.

>>37193257

He's actually not so bad.

>>37193280
>Less retarded
No more retarded. Not only is she a bitch who is wealthy. She's spoiled and think she's mistreated.

Bitch I'm just happy I have food. Shut up and be happy.

Waaah my mother is dead. Bitch you have a father.. and food.. did I mention food? Also a bed!

>>37193258
>there might be the challenge of lower class superstitions, costs of reagents, etc.
Magic in this world requires no reagents that I know of, though you might be right about superstitions.

Personally, though, if I were a ruler in a fantasy realm I would try and keep magic out of the hands of the commons, just as i'd prohibit them from bearing arms except when levied for war.

If they could cast magic, it drastically increases the danger of revolution.

>>37193230
Pretty sure we crossed that bridge back during the 5 years of rape and such.

Hell, think of the reaction she had during the whole assassins incident in Marconetti and learning the Luciana has killed people before. Out of the entire cast, she's probably the most sheltered and innocent of the lot.

A chunk of this quest has been her growing up and realizing the world is darker than it seems.

>>37193168
Part of the reason he's such a good influence on Marianne is that his tragic backstory a little bit like hers but a thousand times worse and he's still upbeat and positive, whereas she became withdrawn and defeatist. Rein's attitude in the face of what's happened to him is the main component of his character as far as I'm concerned, if he was super jaded then the relationship between him and his ward (and by extension, most of the quest) wouldn't work.

>>37193230
We've already long since established that he's had subservience beat into him.
He's not the type to try something like that.

And I don't think Marianne is ignorant as you like to think. Just because she lives a privileged lifestyle doesn't mean she doesn't understand the lower class - the fact that she could connect with and understand Reinhold so well shows that.

>>37193280
He just tries not to let it bother him, I think. And part of his reasoning is that Cateno is Cateno; while there were victims, like himself and Citrine, the trip there showed that the people are essentially bringing everything there on themselves.

a part of the problem is that playing edgelords can be so much fun in the right circumstances

Hooray for wasted time...


>back to writing

>>37193302
Actually those are legitimate points. Not retarded ones. She'd just be spoiled and turn her nose up at us. After all. We aren't human.

Get that? We're not a human being. The whole quest is about raising our recognition status to human in the eyes of the wealthy girl. She's a terrible person.

>>37193332
The animal rank isn't quite literal, and she's a teenage girl with piss poor self esteem.

Rein's backstory is actually crazy dark when you consider 90% of the time the setting is a Noble Bright one.

>>37193348
Piss poor self esteem. Has everything.

Spoiled brat.

>>37193332
That's not because of wealth.
That's because she's a teenage girl dealing with teenage girl feelings in the wake of her mother's death and almost being raped.

I don't think you've really read the quest well enough if you truly believe Marianne thinks she's above everybody else simply because she's in line for the crown.

>>37193356
>the setting is a Noble Bright one.
Not really, according to arch their is some pretty fucked up shit in his magical world.

>>37193328
>in the right circumstances

I doubt that would have been the case in PGQ. I bet consistently edgy Reinhold would have been enough for arch to cancel the quest unless it became entertaining on its own.

>>37193356
He took on him all of the evils in the world. Rein was raped for our sins.

>>37193308
*she referring to Marianne.

>>37193379
>in the wake of her mother's death

I agree with what you said but her mother died when Marianne was a baby.

>>37193330
In the down time, it seems archelon that we all are talking about the society's problems of PG world. It's a wonderful thing I would say. Take note of it.

>>37193403

She was nice to the stores she patrons. My bad.

>>37193430
That and she just LOVES babies, not matter where come from.

>>37193379
Almost being raped. Boy I bet a lot of girls in canto would count their lucky stars about Almost. Being. Raped.

Especially if they could go cry to their maids about it. And then sulk after their etiquette lessons.

>>37193454
>somebody else having worse problems invalidates your own

>>37193452
>>37193430
Clearly that makes a good human being. Loves babies and nice to stores she buys shit from.

>>37193468
>Sulking about trivial problems when you are better off than everyone else.

Yes. When you're the wealthiest person around and have every advantage you should shout the fuck up and buck up.

>>37193302
>>37193454

By your logic, no one ever has any right to be upset about anything unless they are living in a third world country under constant fear of rape, torture and death.
Your entire family just died? Well at least you still have a bed and food.

>>37193496
>almost gets raped by the person entrusted with her life
>trivial problems

>>37193514
Did her family just die? Was she actually raped? No? Is she still wallowing in luxury? Yes.

>>37193522
>raped by the person entrusted with her life
You know I never understood what kind of moron would try to rape a princess...

... without asking her father's permission first.

>>37193496
But she is getting over it, gradually. The molestation happened not that long ago. It's not like she's throwing the kingdom into turmoil by ruling terribly due to her PTSD 3-4 decades after the event, it was a recent tragedy and living well doesn't magically make those things easy to deal with.

Not wanting to be the ones who kept everyone waiting, the four of you make your way down the hallway and towards the nearest stairwell.

"Carina, are you hungry?" you ask.
"Uh-huh..." Carina nods. "but it's okay! I'm only kinda hungry, not super hungry!"
"Well you're not going to have to worry about being hungry ever again, okay?"
"That's right!" Elena chimes in. "We have lots of food here and you can eat all you want!"
"...all I..." Carina stares at you. "Really?"
"Yup," you nod. "And that's where we're headed right now, actually."

The way she's smiling right now... it makes you feel absolutely awful.


>[1/?]

>>37193537
Holy shit you are completely missing the point of what I was saying.

Is this what autism looks like?

>>37193537
Has somebody hurt you, Anon?

>>37193454
A situation that is comparatively more terrible does not make a slightly less terrible situation any better.

You are literally arguing that because people get raped all the time that it's 'trivial' to almost be raped. And it's not like she hates men because of it, or something. She's still a well adjusted individual. That can be attributed in part to what we've done, what her lifestyle provides her, but she's still better than most people you could compare.

Fuck off

>>37193537
>Did her family just die? Was she actually raped? No?
That's the exact same logic you were just criticized for. The "nobody's allowed to be upset unless you're the most unfortunate person on earth" way of thinking is idiotic.

>>37193543
Not only was that an attempt at her precious purity, it's also straight-up treason to assault your ward like that. There are people who have been horribly supplicied for much less.

>I hate it when my mom dies

#firstworldproblems

>>37193597
Wow, that's really terrible that those people have to live like that.

I guess I can no longer be sad because my dog died. Or that my mother has a brain tumor. Nope, because I've got a suitable standard of living and that means I am 100% always less entitled to feelings of pain or sadness.

Also,
>When I go to the bathroom and forget my phone

Is a little different than
>When I was almost raped
>When I had to grow up without a mother
>When I live in fear for my friends because an assassination plot is following them, and me, around

>>37193595
One of the only times I've been actually disappointed in the players in this quest was when they decided to walk back after the duel but then ignored talking to Milien.

>>37193356
>Rein's backstory is actually crazy dark when you consider 90% of the time the setting is a Noble Bright one.

In contrast, the protagonists of the "main story" of this setting are as follows:

>a kid whose village was raided when he was like one year old and he was thrown into a slave caravan, fed just enough to subsist and not even given so much as a name so that he'd be nice and pliable enough for a certain pederast's tastes. He's rescued from this fate before anything too horrible happens to him and is practically given the world, only to lose it in a most horrific manner soon afterwards

>a little girl who watched her father and his friends get ate up my a lesser dragon and spent several months living innawoods by herself with only the Sanctuary that he placed immediately before he died to keep her from suffering the same fate

>a kid whose sister was brutally murdered because her innate talent in magic got her labeled as a demon, he managed to get his revenge on the entire lot of them thanks to his own (slightly lesser) innate magical talent, he resorts to joining a monastery in order to curb his burning desire to kill every such "wicked" person who he comes across in the same way


Though I tried to keep things from getting -quite- as bad as Reinhold's, I am not nice to my characters when it comes to backgrounds.
The protagonist of the southern continent's story is probably even worse than those three.

>>37193597
>>37193667

To add, no one is saying that Marianne's situation is comparable to the experiences of someone living in the third world.
But for you to claim that she has no right to be upset and traumatized about almost being rape by someone she entrusted her life to is ridiculous.

Citrine's also a massive cunt because that cunt is a cunt by being a cunt when she gets sad about her parents being murdered.

Ay, cunt, at least you knew your parents, cunt. Reinhold never knew his, you cunt.

Also, at least she gets paid for it when she's raped, Reinhold never got that, you dumb cunt. What a cunt.

#firstworldproblems

>>37193680
To be fair, we were probably not in the best physical/mental state to deal with that shit back then. We had just gotten discharged from hospital, sword was shattered, mind was in several places, friends were extremely worried about us, etc.

Better to put out one fire before trying to deal with a different one.

>>37193647

At least they got theirs.

>>37193768
Wait a minute... didn't you at some point mention that Masaharu was one of the main characters of the setting? Was he adopted by Sadaharu?

>>37193767
Probably.

But also think of the social aspect. He's now an established noble who hasn't done anything wrong in the recent past (the almost rape thing is technically a royal secret). Starting a very public quarrel with a relatively well behaved foreign noble after we just slammed by Monique in that catastrophe of a "duel" wouldn't seem like the smartest thing.

>>37193733
I can tell you don't regularly read these threads because she has never complained to as at length about her problems. She felt terrible because we told her about what happened to us. The only reason it's relevant now is because she met first-hand her attempted rapist just a short time ago.

So what, are you saying she's a terrible person because she's mopey sometimes? When she has the consideration to not labor us with her troubles and instead feel bad by herself in her room.

And it's really a reflection on us because that's the whole fucking reason we were brought here in the first place. To provide protection and console. It's why we're paid.

"As long as you remember not to overdo it," you say to Carina, "you can eat as much as you want."
"As much as I..." she gasps.
"Eat too much and you'll wind up like I did the last time we did a thing like this, though," Rana sighs. "My stomach hurt SO BAD..."
"Yeah, I bet it did," you sigh.
"But yeah," Rana pats Carina on the head. "Just remember that the food isn't going anywhere, okay? You'll be able to eat a full meal tomorrow and the day after and so on, so there's no need to stow everything down right now."
"'kay," Carina nods. "I can eat a lot but I shouldn't eat too much 'cuz it'll hurt my tomach?"
"Yup," she replies. "Or worse yet, you'll just end up wasting all the food you ate by throwing it back up."

That warning seems to hit Carina harder than the others.

"Throwing up hurts," she mumbles. "I'm only gonna eat some food so I don't do that."
"Attagirl!" Rana says, patting her on the back.
