Maria a cute

Please support Maria in her quest for an amazing person who will help her get more self-confidence!

>She's got some Space Marine-tier mojo going on. She's been altered but seems to consider it normal.
Minor spoiler/fluff piece: The alteration is almost completely mental. There are blueprints for making the stereotypical supersoldiers, but that never ever worked in a way that satisfied anyone, so usually one uses gear, items and Will these days.

It was indeed pretty nice.. I wanted to reformat her write-ups and put them on Medium but I never quite around to it, sadly.

Indeed Maria will probably have a few awkward realisations along the way and she'll need the help of her friends.

>>37315933
> tfw half the cast is basically set up to be psychological support for Maria
Liliana and Senra for sage life advice and lewdness, Eriadne for gentle domming, Helena for peppy upbeat energy, Sora for broing and tomboying around, Thallian for reminding Eriadne what not to become (and to keep RHP away and Helena not-scared), Sanya for having someone more suicidal than her.

>>37316055
Sanya is for rescuing.

>>37316055
Well, it's not unique to Maria all of the girls will probably be interconnected in their support for one another.

By the way, Hex, what was that paper thing Eva used to subdue RHP?

Thunder Charm. Not unlike, say, a Scroll in D&D or roguelikes, a Charm allows one to use a specific pre-programmed effect. We'll see more of this later.

There's just something about her tone of voice that makes me want to tell her the whole trruth, let her know everything and become just that much closer, but instinv is strong and I hesistate for a few , moments.

"Well?", she says, patient yet obviously not willing to just let it pass just like that. Which I guess I can understand when thinking about what kind og huge mess I just made out of everything. Hmm. Where to start though, this isn't exactly easy. Maybe just kind of start with the simple things and then think while I talk? Hmm, yes, that would probably be the best. she will think me less awkward that way if I don't use too many big words and completely lose myself from the very start because I have no idea what I'm doing.

I went back and checked and Maria hasn't had an entry since thread 24 in October, but for her it was when she was feeding Eri breakfast.

>>37353758
We waltzed right out of there afterwards to become a Helena so it makes sense.

>>37353799
Helena spoke to Eri a bit too and Thallian, the Dragonblood boy, but we didn't get any eye colors from them when she did.

Pastebin for anyone curious, I think I got them all but I could have missed some.

>>37353918
Very useful anon, thanks.

>>37353987
>>37353918
>>37353884
Gold seems to be when they give someone positive attention. Grey is kinda relaxed.

>>37354020
I don't know about Talam being relaxed considering he was talking about going to war, we also saw Eri's eyes go gray when she was talking about the dangers of casting AKAZU's spell which we totally learned about, thanks Eri.
Both times were very serious conversations.

>>37354147
>>37354020
Grey is contemplative, blue is relaxed or concered, green is attentive, gold is attention to others, green-gold is paying attention to someone in particular, green-grey-gold would probably be trying to manipulate, pink is shame/arousal. Red is probably anger, so violet being a mix of red and blue might be mild annoyance.

That's not the AToW spirit at all!

>>37377824
It's more powerful.

>>37377817
Yeah, she's pretty gay.

>>37377901
That was pretty obvious almost right from the start. Maria always got really wordy and descriptive whenever Eriadne was involved. Never really did that for anybody else.

>>37378222
>>37377901
So either Eri is just that pretty or White Hair Theory is true.
No, a gay person just being attracted to one specific other person can't be true! That's not what my animes told me!

>>37377901
I like yaoi. I like yuri. I'm pretty queer myself. But never once I've seen someone as fucking gay as Maria.

>>37378368
Alt pls.

How could my Maria possibly be this homosexual?

>>37378368
>>37377901
Well, as a girl in a male dominated job working with mostly males you gotta end up having bad impressions of men. Not saying she was raped but...
>>37378394
Negative life experiences making her mind look for a way to compensate.

>>37378421
>mostly males you gotta end up having bad impressions of men. Not saying she was raped but...
That's unlikely as Maria is confirmed to have nothing against men.
I think that since she's had very few female friends in life and has mostly done masculine things she sees girls as the other.

>>37378421
That's.... not how orientation works.
>>37378459
She's even said she's terrible at girl things.

>>37378389
N-No.

>>37378421
>Well, as a girl in a male dominated job working with mostly males you gotta end up having bad impressions of men. Not saying she was raped but...
That has nothing to do with that.

>>37378459
More that. That's pretty much the first time she has know girls she didn't grew up with. Westermarck effect in full action.

>>37378986

>>37379075
I wonder if she can read others orientations as well.
Was she lewding at the Maria on purpose?

>>37379961
> spoiler
Well she's not seen Eri and Maria together so she was probably trying to see if Maria swung that way. Because my magical realm dictates that a cleric of a pleasure god has to be perpetually aroused.

I stare somewhere besides Eriadne's shoulder, my Will so focused on keeping my emotions from showing that I almost miss my friend's -I hope that's still true- hand come up from her lap and move towards my fa-- with a shudder I stop myself from shying away, undercutting all reflexes and stay just where I am, barely managing not to tremble. If she wants to hit me, I deserve it.

I'm not going to just run away from my punishment. After how much I disappointed her that's really the least she could do. Really I should not have dropped Helena at least, how could I add to my sins like that? A quick glance reveals her laying facedown on the lower bunk to the left, Liliana sitting on the floor while drawing soothing circles around on her back. Huh, looks like she's asleep. I didn't even get to apologize. Huh… I look up, only to see Eriadne's fingers hovering just a little away from my face. Eeeeeeep, must get away must get away too close! Okay, stop. She's not hit me yet, and her expression is questioning rather than angry, eyes /shifting/ between various shades of green-grey and blue.

"Lady Maria…?", she says, gently. Wh-what does she want me to say? Her fingers touch my forehead and wipe a stray strand of dark yellow hair away from it before she takes my chin in two fingers and makes me look at her, her crystaline voice gentle yet firm.

"…yes?!", I say, heart beating quicker despite my efforts -why is her touch burning this is unfair- as I force myself to meet her gaze.

"I believe you wished to tell me something, Lady Maria. I would very much like to hear it. Now. Try again, keep yourself relaxed and tell me, one thing at a time", she says, gently re-adjusting my head as I try to look away again. Eeep, she already knows, or she wouldn't be so insistent, huh? Well, of course she knows; She probably knows more about me than I do already!

As a side-note Eriadne is 18 and expecting her to ignore that for Maria's sake in a hypothetical relationship isn't exactly fair.
Especially in this world where someone Maria's age is legally allowed to do that kind of stuff if she wanted to and she herself is entering that age as well.

Welcome back Hex.

There needs to be more yuri were both girls are in fancy dresses. Everything I tried to find had one of them in a suit or in wedding dresses.

>>37434284
Maria would look good in a powersuit, then again so would Eri.

> So what happens if a girl who is married becomes a witch? Or does that just not happen?
I've been wondering as much myself since the first thread, and I arrived at the conclusion that the All-Mother's influence doesn't extend -intentionally- into Sharsee's domain. As in, if becoming a Witch would make you an oath-breaker you'll not become one.

The existence of the Law as a tangible concept is what keeps things from devolving into a constant worst-case scenario, and even something as alien as The Goddess doesn't like to upset it/her without reason.
>>37434284

Certainly.
> Everything I tried to find had one of them in a suit or in wedding dresses.
Heh, I guess it's hard to get rid of the butch/femme seme/uke distinction in art, especially due to how it does exist, if not as prominently as... outsiders, is that a word that can be used here... think.

>>37434364
Huh, an interesting take on things. Also, bump.

Up we go.

Hope the muses are visiting for the day, Hex!

>>37438255
goddamn that is hot

>>37438415
If by hot you mean cute, sure

>>37438255
Allow me to fix your size issue.

>>37438255
Just think, if we keep at it, that could be Maria and Eri.
Eri would be on top, of course.

>>37439559
Naturally.
She'd probably be the top for everything. I just don't think Maria has it in her to be the aggressor and initiate.

>>37439589
We just need to fuse her with Beta TL Maria for a bit more assertiveness and leadership.

>>37439714
That's so fucking mental it just might work!
On a completely unrelated note I hope Hex finishes this update with the next post because the thread won't take two more partial updates.

>>37439736
Unless he managed several posts worth of material I doubt it, we haven't even reached the actual explanation yet, much less Eri's reaction to it.

>>37439858
Yeah, I realised.
We probably won't get another thread for like a month either.

>>37439904
Why? It's usually 2 weeks.

>>37439942
Because my faith is slowly dying and if I expect the worst Hex can't disappoint me more than last time.

Holy fucking shit Hex how the fuck does it take you 6 days to write a single update?
That's fucking retarded! What the fuck happened you used to have a 1-day cycle and you got the last huge update out in like 4 days?
WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU?

>>37440186
While no doubt cathartic, this seems neither productive nor anything new.

>>37440337
I know it's not fucking new I'm just sick of this bullshit.
It's taken hex 6 fucking days to write 600 words.
I'm sick of having to put up with this bullshit and it's not like there's another option because moving to something like Akun will just fucking kill the quest.
In fact I'm starting to think this update will kill the quest if Hex doesn't get it out in a thread because he will never JUST FUCKING POST IT!

>>37440399
I'm sure Hexer hates it as much as you do, anon.

>>37440607
I fucking doubt it.
It's pretty obvious he puts no effort into this.

>>37440186
>WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU?
A lot.
>>37436921
>Hope the muses are visiting for the day, Hex!
They are, though most of the day I was just kind of sleepwalking through everything.

>>37440670
Evening, Hex.

Fuck you.

>>37440626
>It's pretty obvious he puts no effort into this
That's just stupid of you to think Calm down.

>>37440707
Jesus man, go somewhere and calm down. You're being way too mad.

>>37440754
>>37440764
No, I'm not going to calm down.
I'm sick of us having to baby these threads and get nothing from it.
I'm sick of us not being able to talk about anything or discuss anything in the thread because we're afraid of killing it before an update.
And I'm sick of worrying constantly that Hex is going to drop the quest because the threads and updates care constantly getting pushed further and further apart.
It's not okay. It's not acceptable and we shouldn't have to put up with it.

>>37440820
Would you say you're not going to take it any more?

>>37440764
>>37440754
Eh, he's got a point. I've been lagging way too much lately which is a big problem for a quest. Anyways, writing.

>>37440850
Point or no, he could have been nicer about it.

>>37441112
I'm sick of being nice.
I'm always fucking nice and helpful while everything just gets worse.

>>37442637
These bump pictures are getting lewder and lewder. What happened to good, wholesome innocent cuddling between platonic friends?
Eh, 34 posts even before entering autosage isn't that bad, should be fine...hopefully.

>>37442842
I don't think so but...well, can try it I suppose.

Bump...

Quick bump before bed.

Y'know what, this thread has been here since Sunday. I might as well put it to use.

The power of /u/ is strong. I should do a lesbians quest. But this could be going interesting places. I'm thinking this bitch is doing some kind of crazy mojo right now, hence the burning touch. We gotta get our shields up our wand out and go zap mothafucka on this bitch.

What do we roll to zap.

C'monnnnn

Hex you fall asleep again or something.

>>37456884
Probably just hasn't woken up yet.

The blood on your hands is cold by now. Blood is funny. All runny and splattery and watery to start with, but there's a bit that's slick and sticky and unwilling to come out, but then it turns crumbly and powdery. And no matter what a Danish lord's wife may say, it comes out quick and easy. Just run your finger, and it'll curl up and fall off your skin. Nice and easy.

Least that's how it was with skin. Clothes is a different matter altogether. Not that you had to worry about clothes with the last one.

You were both naked. Reminded you of 'Nam, in the jungle the stinking flooded rice fields huddling behind the corpse of an ox leaking like a sieve, naked as Eve before her run in with certain enlightening fruit, naked as God intended save for the rifle and the helmet and a fear that settles in the eyes and keeps 'em open. The ox blood rinsed off easy in the morning mist. Her blood would rinse away easy too.

"Lady Maria?"

I blink, and smile. I'm a perfect little ditz, aren't I? Getting distracted by silly thoughts about rice fields and cows and oh my gosh don't blush don't blush being naked! That was strange- oh no she's looking at me! Her eyes all wrinkled and screwed up, curious about me. She knows.

She knows too much.

My smile goes rigid.

>>37456991
What.

>>37457025
Spookie gee has decided to use the thread as a shitposting dump against Hex.

>>37457042
Well then make sure to report them

>>37457025
Just writing fanfiction about my favorite quest. Hoping it'll inspire Hexer.

>>37457082
That honestly would just end up with the thread getting deleted.
Also delete your posts if you want. I've reached the delete limit.

>>37457107
we're at 283 thanks to the spooky gee shitters, best that Hex makes a new thread

>>37457117
Yeah, that honestly true.
I really wish you was capable of running on Akun though.
I just won't have the time to bump the thread during the night anymore.

Can I write more, or would that be considered rude?

>>37457129
Hex can't handle the lack of pressure and drive on akun, it is a curse for him and his quests, I'm glad he hasn't moved this there to die like what he did to CCQ and Hexer Quest.

>>37457132
Why not just put it in a pastebin?

>>37457147
I guess that'd be better. But I just always got more encouraged by the reply box in 4chan. Don't know why- it's really weird honestly, but I like writing like this more. I'll try to stick my work in a pastebin.

>>37457147
>I'm glad he hasn't moved this there to die like what he did to CCQ and Hexer Quest.
Same I don't want this quest to die I've enjoy all of it so far.

>Why not just put it in a pastebin?
Because he wants to shitpost. I've kind of been expecting it ever since that guy started stirring up shit over Hex in the general.

>>37457160
Why not write it in the reply box then move it to pastebin? You have a reply box fetish don't you, its okay, we won't judge you for it

>>37457147
>and Hexer Quest.
Wasn't that a reboot anyway? We were some person who got killed by mobsters, not a druggie.

>>37457173
I don't mean to. I'm just very tired waiting and I thought of some ideas I wanted to write down.

>>37457180
NO
Maybe.I don't know.

Copy pasting is happening but in the austere light of pastebin, all the words seem flimsy and shitty. I guess if I'm writing in the 4chan reply box my standards automatically slip and I feel more comfortable posting. It's like being comfortably drunk?

All done.
http://pastebin.com/6ygjsmac

>>37457181
Wait, there was a Hexer quest reboot? Shame I missed it.

>>37457412
Approximately 508 times faster than Hex by word count.

>>37457475
With no loss in quality!

>>37457474
It's comatose, but our powers were much more active.

>>37457496
Maybe it'll come back to life...?

>>37457488
I guess that means you are worth 508 hexes then.

>>37457521
I don't know what to say! I am so flattered. I should use these newfound powers to help the world. A man with the strength of 508 hexes...Outside of DnD world maps that doesn't come around often!

And that leaves one post for Hex so he can bump it back up when he's ready. Now everybody's happy.

Maybe he'll start another thread after this one.
Or he'll just quit. I wouldn't blame him.

>>37457595
Hex isn't schteel. No really, what happened to subsluts?

>>37457595

Oi none of that here.

Wait, why wasn't Hex successful on Anonkun?

>>37457614
Because he never updated.

>>37457614
>Wait, why wasn't Hex successful on Anonkun?
Because the format is poison for him.

>>37457605
Yeah, I guess that's true.

>>37457608
The last day has just been people unloading shit and trolling.
It got pretty over the top in Spookie as well.
Not to mention this will probably be a constant thing once we get past 250 posts hell it already is.
The last 4 or so threads have been killed by arguements and shit flinging.

>>37457614
Because there is no pressure to update so he never does.
It's like for the OP in the last thread where he just sat on it for like 5 days without posting even though it was finished.

>>37457630
Well then I suppose there is nothing else to do but chill out, discuss how cute Maria and Eri are and wait for Hex to post.

>>37457630
No, threads have been killed by going on for days without any update.

>>37457645
...So, Hex needs some prescriptions or something then cause that amount of lame ass unmotivation ain't normal.

>>37457646
Well, this thread is in auto-sage already and we can't even talk in a live thread anymore because that kills the thread as well.

>>37457647
Yeah, but there's not much we can do to stop that.'

>>37457656
He probably needs to go on anti-depressants or something.

>>37457656
> hex has brainproblems
> probably multiple stacked
No shit.

>>37457646
>discuss how cute Maria and Eri are
Sora love never. Liliana love never. ;_;

>>37357379
I really want to restress this.

>>37457692
People love the 'gentle domme' thing a little too much in my opinion...But what do I know.

>>37457692
Sora gets love.
We need to get her a manly man to go on adventures with.
And Liliana is one of the mots popular characters.

>>37457697
It's an accident every time Hex starts writing. He doesn't think about where a scene ends, or even where it begins. He just puts his hands on the keyboard, then gawks in horror at the letters that show up on the screen and then get nervous and over analyze and goes nowhere.

>>37457701
'Gentle domme' ispretty amazing.
The other girls have their own charms as well though.

>>37457697
I have to agree just from the fact that each update segment gets like 50 posts of talking after it so when he breaks it up it just swamps the thread.

>>37457723
It makes it hard as fuck to follow the quest.

>>37457739
Yeah, I go back through the archive and stuff when I'm, looking for wiki stuff.
Having like 20 posts of bumping is a complete pain especially when it's in between the actual update.

>>37457706
>We need to get her a manly man to go on adventures with.

> Maria trying to play wingwoman
This will either A end in disaster or B end better than expected because she "gets" men much more than women. Though the guy better be temple guardian or noble cause having a useless cast member who is only there as NPC partner would be irksome in the long run.

>>37457750
>because she "gets" men much more than women.
This is true.

And yeah we just need a noble and a witch hunter to fill out every role I can think of in the party.

>>37457750
>end better than expected because she "gets" men much more than women.
There are a number of theories that correlate that with being gay, yea. No, I'm not jerking to HOW GAY xDD she is, just asserting your suggestion. So yea it could work and be a lot less awkward.
>>37457773
>And yeah we just need a noble and a witch hunter to fill out every role I can think of in the party.
What I worry is that we might have one or more totems double. None seem quite spiteful enough to be Curse-aligned for example.

>>37457798
>What I worry is that we might have one or more totems double. None seem quite spiteful enough to be Curse-aligned for example.
Well, we already have some double up with Helena and Eva at least and possibly Liliana and the twins.
They still manage to fulfill different base roles though.
On the topic of curses that would probably get covered by Sora or someone similar.
Having someone who is spiteful use curses is a bad idea anyway
because they'll abuse them.

On the topic of Maria's gayness she does actually have a fair number of traits have been shown to align with being homosexual.

>>37457820
>she does actually have a fair number of traits have been shown to align with being homosexual.
Such as?

>>37457834
Stuff like her parents being very stressed during pregnancy, perceiving herself as over masculine, trading towards masculine acitivite=ies at a young age, left-handedness, likely a higher than normal testosterone level. along with generally lower self-esteem and a trend towards mental illness.
Alongside that you have her general reaction to the other girls seeing them as the other and the way she thinks about Eriadne and most recently reacts to her touch.

>>37457864
>along with generally lower self-esteem and a trend towards mental illness.
Wasn't that proven to be the result of discrimination/confirmation bias, or is that just lefties censoring "offensive" science?

>>37457834
>>37457864
http://borngay.procon.org/
>>37457879
Might be.

>>37457879
It's just academia being apologetic academia.

>>37457879
I don't really remember.

>>37457879
I think it's researchers fearing backlash. Besides, Maria's society isn't exactly supportive of homosexuality so even if it were discrimination it would still make sense.
>>37457864
...I wonder if Eri is gay as well or just kind of confused why Maria is so clingy and odd.

>>37457864
There might not be any correlation, but beta timeline Maria ended up being a man hating lesbian, or at least just man hating.

>>37457924
>but beta timeline Maria ended up being a man hating lesbian, or at least just man hating.
To be fair they were on a military mission and Sora just brought it one of the only two counters to a Witch that's not another Witch.
