You walk into your shack to find Lirael and Rainya curled up on your bed, reading something off Liraels datapad. Lirael looks like she’s calmed down a little.

“Hi Shee” says Rainya, looking up as you enter “How’d it go?”

“Rough” you say, lying down next to them “Almost got pulled into a-ah I won’t bother you with the details, what’re you reading?”

You spend the rest of the evening reading to Lirael with Rainya, eventually the three of you fall asleep on your narrow bed.
---
You wake up the next morning with an elbow in your face. You roll out of bed, trying to avoid disturbing Lirael and Rainya and stretch as you get up, wondering about your plans for today. You recall that you and Kae planned to go out this evening.

What are your plans for today?

>Head to Psychic Research Facility (doing what prep?)
>Seek the favour of one of the Five (which?)
>Other (what?)

Accompanied?

>Alone
>With (who?)

>>37590189

>>37590189

>>37590189
>>37590231
This with Rainya, Lirael needs a rest. Just make sure to feed her before we go off Serec hunting.

>>37590189
>Go to Charun
We need a lot of answers from the old guy

I swear, if she goes anyway, we will mindrape her and put her into a cell in the facility.

>>37590264
You know this is going to bite us in the ass sooner or later, right? Avoiding a little risk now will only make the later risks stronger.

>>37590189
>Go to Charun
>Don't forget to feed Lirael

>>37590329
It was not a little risk. That was the problem, there were half a dozen major risks involved in ging to that party. It would have been a absurdly stupid idea.

>>37590189
>>37590231
This and also feed Lirael.

>>37590329
That party screamed death trap, unless something changes we shouldn't go. Everyone there would want us dead for at least 4 reasons. (resistance op, faerie spy, police spy, unregistered psychic, fledgling demigod, harboring a forbidden vampire race, etc.)

>>37590329
If we would have been provided with a good reason for Shee to overcome her very reasonable aversion to going there, I would have done it.
But not a single convincing reason existed.
First it was: We need to get leverage on Crimsonthorn so he won't kill us if Kae axes Quinn.
We can just tell Kae not to do that. Problem solved.
Then it was "but its interesting info and I need to know", which would have meant going there on the off-chance we might somehow overhear something of any value.
The only reason Shee ever got to going there would have been to keep Yonsuls back free, and we would have bitten that if we couldn't have convinced her.
For herself, Shee never had a reason to go, and I'm not gonna vote for something I want that the character would absolutely not want.

ok, writing visiting Charun, but I'm only seeing 1 vote for accompaniment of Rainya and not Lirael, writing this but will check back in case anyone wants to add accompaniment to their vote.

>>37590440
Shee is a rebel. Both fae and vampires control this world, rebeling against only one of them won't do anything, it won't change anything.

Sooner or later we will have to face the vampires as well. Getting inside and discovering what conspiracies they are plotting would have helped immensively.

>>37590530
>, but I'm only seeing 1 vote for accompaniment of Rainya and not Lirael
I didn't include anything because I figured that Rainya should stay with Lirael.
I saw no point in choosing an "who comes with us" since both of them are still asleep.

>Alone

>>37590535
Our only ways in were Quin who would fuck us over, ash who has a gramps that would fuck us over, or Yonsul whose known and would get us nothing or worse fuck us over. Trying to save the dusters from the Fae hunt would have been safer.

>>37590535
>Getting inside and discovering what conspiracies they are plotting would have helped immensively.
Under the assumption we could have actually managed to find out anything there, which was wildly unlikely as far as Shee could see.
The actual conspiracy was stuff that happened behind close doors between the Heads of the clans, Shee had no access to that in any way shape or form.

>>37590535
Hopefully we might work something out with Kae in regards to spying on the vamps.

>>37590530
Alone

>>37590530
I'd like to add leaving a note for Lirael and Rainya telling them where we've gone and that we'll be back soon in case they wake up before we return.

>>37590535
Do you still not realise that they are plotting against the fae?
Besides, getting on the party wouldn't have accomplished anything. Actualkly finding anything out, would have required us to spy on the closed meeting, which we had no contact to.

After Lirael and Rainya wake up and you all take a quick wash in the pail of water, Lirael complains about not having a real bathroom and you prepare to go out for breakfast. As you do so Lirael gives you a needy look “Go on” you say to Rainya, “We’ll be out soon”

“Not very soon” insists Lirael, tugging you towards the bed.
---
Indeed, by the time Lirael is satisfied, breakfast is long over for most people, the two of you grab a bowl of porridge each and you shovel it down whilst trying to plan your conversation with Charun.

You see Lirael to school and Rainya to her temporary work helping the other duster women and then you head out to find Charun.

You catch up with Charun in his shed, he lets you in and then takes a seat on a box next to his truck, he looks rough, tired, sick maybe?

“What happened to you?” you ask.

Charun shakes his head “late night” he says “too much cheap booze, not as young as I was, meant to come and find you and the others, got a new mission.”

“Before that” you say “I think we need to discuss a few things.”

“Such as?” says Charun, giving you a suffering look.

“Such as I9” you say “Such as Serec, such as the truth about my parents.”

“I9 is a rebel psychic training program” says Charun “Serec are these horrible monster things that attack whole worlds and lots a people who survive fighting them develop psychic powers, and so do their kids, mutations too” he spits “damn things, it’s like psychic powers are a disease they want to spread, no offense” he adds belatedly.

“And my parents?” you ask

“Not much to tell” he says, looking shifty “both rebels, both lost fighting the fae, you da was a real strong follower of the King, damn shame what happened to them.”

“That’s it?” you ask.

“That’s it” he confirms

Is that it?

>Fine, tell me about the mission, then I’m gone
>Tell me more about I9
>Tell me more about the Serec
>Tell me more about my parents
>Other topic (what?)

>>37590588
Too many assumptions from your side as well. No such plot hook would be offered if there was nothing to gain from it.
>>37590624
If they are plotting against the Fae, then knowing it would be even better. Would let us have opportunities to use them for the rebellion's advantage. Now we will be stuck with blind guesses, if we even have any involvement with it anymore.

And,again, no plot hook is offered without anything to be gained from it. You make pally a disservice.

>>37590703

Shee doesn't know anything about "plot hooks" guaranteeing her to find something out.
I'm talking about motivation of the character, I as aplayer, would have liked going there with Yonsul, but the simple fact was the sory didn't give a me any reason why Shee would want that.

She was told that the vampires also ruled and that if they stayed then nothing would change. I think it was Charun who said that, but I don't remember which thread that was.

>>37590703
>>Tell me more about the Serec

There was some weird shit when we were poking around the facility down there, someone killed, and Lirael ended almost freaking out, mentioning the Serec.

It looked almost human down there. When we bugged out, saw a glimpse of something, face looked human.

>>37590703
>Tell me more about the Serec
>>37590711
>Too many assumptions from your side as well.
Except there were no assumptions in his post? The part about it being behind closed doors is a fact we know. Everything about possible ways of getting entry anyway would be an assumptiom.

>>37590772
This sounds reasonable. Supporting

>>37590787
>She was told that the vampires also ruled and that if they stayed then nothing would change.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with Shee having a reason to walk into what could be a veritable death trap for her?
Nothing she knows about this meeting indicates to her it would help her in getting rid of them.

>>37590703
>Tell me more about the Serec

>>37590772
I don't think we've actually given him the weapons to sell yet, though?

I hope we haven't, at any rate. Need to get like 12 or so heavy plasma pistols.

“Tell me more about the Serec” you say “I saw....something in the facility that looked like a monster with a human face.”

“Wrecked” says Charun.

“Excuse me?” you ask

“Serec are big bug monsters” Charun waves his hands “From a long way away, like another galaxy, so I’m told. They came here to I dunno, eat everyone. They all have psychic powers, some stronger than others, they attack in swarms, lots of little ones controlled by a few big ones. Those that fight them and survive, some of them anyway, develop psychic powers, and maybe their kids do. Wrecked are like, children of psychics with mutations, they look a bit human, a bit Serec.”

He continues “Serec have one big mind that controls them all, sometimes it draws weak or unlucky psychics into it and controls them too, just like they were Serec.”

“What was one doing in the facility?” you ask

“Scouting maybe” says Charun “They can sense other psychics, are drawn to them, hell I understand the I9 program has a bunch of kids they’re teaching to call Serec in and control them somehow, risky business.”

“So they’ll keep coming after me?” you ask.

“Maybe yeah” says Charun “If you kill enough, the top mind will get the hint and avoid you.”

“You could have told me” you say “You could have warned me.”

“They might not have come” says Charun “Now, about the mission. There’s a group of young fae nobles planning on taking off out into the desert for some damn fool reason or other, a party maybe. We’re going to attack, capture as many as we can, kill those we can’t.”

“Noble fae” you say “Aren’t they y’know, powerful? And have bodyguards?”

“Young ones” says Charun “a half-dozen or so, maybe one or two as tough as a Gifted, and they’ll be giving the guards the slip themselves.”

“Still” you say, “sounds dangerous.”

“That’s why we have you” says Charun “And the warmech.”

“When?” you ask

“Three days?” says Charun “Yeah, I know, short notice, but I only found out last night.”

It truthfully seems like a random killing, to eliminate just a few young punks.

Going to be a good way to get a lot of us killed, even if we succeed without much real gain.

Just seems to 'strike a blow' just to strike a blow. I don't see how it will accomplish much.

>>37591214
>Going to be a good way to get a lot of us killed
Every mission is good way to get a lot of us killed. It's part of being a rebel.

>>37591256
It should still be worth those dead people.

>>37591112
>Alright, I’ll be ready
kinda surprised, I figured that more people would be against going after kids/teens.

>>37591256
>Every mission is good way to get a lot of us killed. It's part of being a rebel.

Every time we take a risk, it needs to move closer to the end goal of overthrowing the fae, or at the very least improve the plight of the people in the least.

Killing some young fae, does not seem to be a great return on the risk.

I can also see that leading to a retailiation purge of the Dusters too.

He's tired because he was contacting his Fae master in his sleep, wasn't he? Yup, conspiracy. Definitely. No way I could possibly be wrong. Not ever. Nosireee

“Why?” you ask “I mean, why are we even going to capture them? Interrogation? Ransom?”

“Both” says Charun “We’ll find out what they know and then sell them back.”

“I heard that the deserts are actually an ancient fae” you say “something called Geheganesh.”

Charuns eye widens a little “Huh, and which drunk told you that?”

“You’ve never heard of it?” you ask

Charun rubs his chin “All sorts of rumours about the desert girl” he says “The desert will swallow you, its alive, stuff like that. It being a fae ain’t completely crazy I guess” he’s humouring you.

Or at least, that’s what he sounds like he’s doing, you have a feeling that maybe it isn’t a big surprise to him.

“Well” he asks “What do you say? And who told you that crazy rumour?”

Maybe go shopping with Rainya again to get some clothes for our night out, if hers are damaged or something.

You head out and collect Lirael and Rainya from school and work respectively.

“I thought I was going to school today” says Lirael.

“Plans change” you tell her “besides, I promised you a day in the Hive didn’t I?”

“Awright!” says Lirael, dashing off ahead of the two of you to the bus stop “Let’s do this!”

By your side Rainya asks “Are you sure this is a good idea Shee?”

“I want a day off rather than fighting psychic monsters” you say “besides, tonight I’ve got to deal with a vampire that wants to get into my veins, my head or my pants, or some combination of the above, lets just have some fun ok?”

“Sure” says Rainya as the two of you head to the stop.

The three of you hit the clothes shops first and Lirael starts by putting together the most bizarre and clashing outfits. With a little help from you and Rainya however, she learns to tone it down a bit. You happily spend a little money on Lirael and Rainya, after all, Charun will soon be selling some of the weapons you promised him.

After you’ve spent several hours clothes shopping the three of you grab a bite to eat in a cafe whilst discussing your next move.

“Aw c’mon!” says Lirael “Space battles are boooring, I wanna go to the zoo!”

“I’ve hardly seen any holomovies” says Rainya, pointing to an ad for a holomovie that’s playing this afternoon “The Fall Of Altex VII sounds kinda fun.”

“Zap, pow, it’s done” says Lirael “There’s your space battle, but animals are interesting, Shee can we go to the zoo?”

What are you doing this afternoon?

We can go to the Zoo for a few hours and then close the evening with the movie, before we drop off Lirael

>>37592366
>We’ll go to both, somehow

“Why not both?” you say

“What?” ask Rainya and Lirael

“We’ll go to the zoo first” you explain “And then the movie.”

“Won’t you need to go out for the evening though?” says Rainya

“I’ll manage” you say “We’ll just have to move fast ok.”

“Yes!” says Lirael, poking at a brochure “Look Shee, they have a three-headed Kathlasaur, can we go see it?”

“I have no idea what that is” you say “So yeah, lets go.”

The three of you spend the next several hours wandering around a zoo, seeing all sorts of familiar, and unfamiliar beasts. Lirael rushes from one exhibit to the next, before staring at the animals therein for several moments, and then rushing to the next one. You and Rainya struggle to keep up with her.

Lirael knows the names of all sorts of creatures and tells you about them, the planets they come from, and interesting facts about them.

Eventually however the time at the zoo comes to an end and you leave, with Lirael dragging her feet and looking back wistfully.

The holomovie theatre is mostly empty and you, Lirael and Rainya get a whole row of seats to yourselves as you watch the show. It’s a familiar war story: impossible odds, an improbable victory, a barely plausible romance subplot and Lirael quietly criticises the performance of the spacecraft as unrealistic, but Rainya seems to love it, staring at the screen in silence throughout.

As you leave she pesters Lirael with questions.

“So people don’t just die in space?” she asks “I mean, the pilot Zevran, he-”

“No they don’t” says Lirael “Holomovie writers are dumb, you need air in space, you don’t just pop.”

“And those robot fighters” says Rainya “The Redeyes, they don’t talk?”

Lirael snorts “No” she says “What would they say? They’re just dumb bots.”

You head back to the bus stop as Lirael tries to educate Rainya about spaceships, as you get there, Lirael realises something.

“Rainya is going with you tonight isn’t she?” she asks.

“I will if you want me to” says Rainya, looking to you.

“Why not me?” asks Lirael “If Rainya is going?”

Yeah last time back-up was really useful, but Rainya doesn’t have your protections against mind-reading.

You are going?

“I’m doing this alone” you tell Rainya and Lirael, as they both open their mouths to object you say “Rainya, tonight I’m going to deal with vampires who can read minds, until we can protect you from that, you’ll be in danger.” Rainya nods reluctantly.

To Lirael you say “Some of these vampires might be able to pierce your illusion, I don’t want you in danger because of that.”

“But Shee!” complains Lirael “I don’t want you hurt either” she hugs you hard “I’ll be fine” you tell Lirael “Look after Rainya would you?” you wink at Rainya.

“She’ll be safe with me” promises Lirael, you watch the two of them get on the bus, you changed into your evening outfit in the restrooms of the movie theatre, and now you’re ready to go. With the days activities over, you head out to meet Kae at Club Masakia as planned.

Club Masakia is in a lower hive level and the doormen are visibly armed. Inside however it appears up-market: expensive furniture and the drinks are exotic and twice the price as in some other clubs. The place is packed with locals, many in strange fashions bordering on costumes. Rooms in the club have different styles of music playing and bizarre decorating themes. You feel less like you’re in a club and more like you’ve ended up in another world, or maybe a dream. As you go in deeper, it gets strange.

All around you strange beasts growl and gibber, just people in masks you reassure yourself. Demons and monsters dance and cavort, a wing brushes your shoulder, a tail flicks against your leg as you walk past a scantily clad male demon with huge horns and an animal-like musk coming from him.

Then you see Kae over at a table by herself, you head over “What is this place?” You ask loudly, trying to be heard over the beat of the music.

“Isn’t it great!” says Kae, getting up to hug you “Shee, I’m so glad you came.”

“It’s certainly something” You say, hugging her back.

“Yeah!” says Kae “Just the right place to tell Quinn to go fuck himself! He should be here in a half-hour or so.”

Yeah, about that....

What do you say to Kae

More importantly, best girl will be in trouble.

>>37593377
>You can’t get rid of him, otherwise I’ll be in trouble (tell her about the agreement)

Apparently, they are really scared of you. Shame they can't be civil. Still do what you think is best. I'm not as fragile as a normal human.

>>37593377
>You can’t get rid of him, otherwise I’ll be in trouble (tell her about the agreement)
We're friends and she can trust us.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I love this idea, if only because I want to see it fail

“Actually” you say “I need you to hold off on that...” you explain about the deal between the elder Crimsonthorne and (you think) Sergeant Yonsuls superiors.

“Ah” says Kae, looking thoughtful “Yes, that explains a lot of his behaviour, ok, I’ll act as though nothing is wrong, for now” Kae says to you “but what if he tries something with you, what should I do then?”

“I’ll handle it” you say with more confidence than you actually feel.

You and Kae chat for a bit, and then Quinn and his crew turn up, including Ash...

“Ah Shee” says Quinn, “So nice to see you again” he gives you a little wave, but keeps his distance as everyone crowds in around the table around you, you’re sandwiched between Kae and one of Quinns buddies, Betram you think his name was.

“So what’s the plan?” Quinn asks Kae “Dancing first, or dinner.” You realise you haven’t eaten since lunch, and you are quite hungry.

“Dinner” says Kae and you all order something to eat after talking over the menu. Quinn and his buddies seem almost...normal. OF course they’re probably supposed to be on their best behaviour. Only Ash seems weird, sitting across the table from you he avoids meeting your gaze.

Everyone makes small talk over food and then as a group you head to the dance floor, keeping close to Kae, and watching out for wandering hands.

You group starts to get into the beat of the music, looking positively mundane compared to the fantastical costumes around you.

You’ve only been dancing for a half-hour before you feel hot breath on the back of your neck, and Quinn saying in your ear “We need to talk, you and I, privately.”

“Why not here?” you ask, looking over your shoulder “Seems the music gives us privacy anyway.”

“You know why” says Quinn, nodding to Kae “And you know there’s a truce right? But we still need to talk, over there.” He points to a corner of the room with few people in it, but still visible from where you are dancing.

How do you respond?

>We can talk here
>Fine (follow Quinn to the corner)
>Fuck off, I’m not talking to you
>Other (what?)

>>37593882
>Fine (follow Quinn to the corner)

>>37593845
>Fine (follow Quinn to the corner)
Try anything and you'll regret it~

>>37593882
>Fine (follow Quinn to the corner)

>>37593882
>We can talk here

>>37593882
>Fine (follow Quinn to the corner)

>>37593882
>We can talk here

“Fine” you say, following Quinn to the corner but keeping Kae in sight “What?” you ask when you get there.

Quinn sticks his hands in his pockets and looks away “I have been instructed” he says, sounding like his teeth are being pulled out “To apologise for my behaviour and to tell you that I will not be doing anything to sabotage your mission.”

“Gee” you say, folding your arms and leaning against the wall “I am just feeling the love rolling off you Quinn.”

Quinn glares at you “Suck my dick blood bag” he snarls “I have my orders, just like you do, and I’ll follow them, I know the price of not doing so.”

“Oh gee” you say “And I thought we could be best buddies.”

Quinn gives you a scathing look “You don’t know a goddamn thing” he says.

“Try me” you say, wondering what else you can provoke out of him, any useful hints about his orders for example.

Quinn gives you an arrogant look “You wouldn’t understand and that’s all I needed to say” he says “Now lets just get back to our missions.”

How do you respond?

>Fine, lets go back
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?
>What’s with you and Ash
>Other (what?)

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?

>>37594253
>>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?
Real info

>>What’s with you and Ash
Why the fuck he is so antagonistic towards us at the start.

>>37594335

>I might bring a friend next time, I trust you will extend your courtesy to her too.

No need to threaten him.

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?
>What’s with you and Ash

>>37594253

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?
Then use the story of what Kae knows to get him to trust us, then find out if he knew.

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?
>What’s with you and Ash

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?
>>What’s with you and Ash

>>37594253
>What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?

“What wouldn’t I understand Quinn?” you ask “I mean, I’m just a dumb blood bag right? You won’t get into trouble by telling me.”

“There’s plans” says Quinn “Plans that will change everything for you dusters, and you won’t even see it coming.”

“Oooh mysterious” you say “I’m scared.”

“Not yet” he says, a smug look in his eyes “But you will be.”

“So terrify me” you say, leaning in to him “Make me tremble with fear, what do you know?”

Quinn opens his mouth to speak and then thinks better of it, he looks down, then up at you again “That’s not free” he says slyly “I want something first.”

“Like what?” you say, sceptical.

“Oh just something for a friend” his says, looking over at Kae, who is dancing with Ash. Or is he looking at Ash?

“What is going on with you and Ash?” you ask “Because, I gotta say, I’m not sure what your game is.”

Quinn gives you a lazy grin “Ash and I” he says “We’ve come to an agreement” he pokes a finger at you but stops short of touching you “Ash can be quite agreeable with a little persuasion, a little blood, a night in bed together, and your whole story came tumbling out, it gave me a great insight into Ash, and into you as well.”

“You wish” you snort, so he and Ash are actually....?

“Oh yes” says Quinn confidently “Ash...well Ash is simple, his father is distant, his mother never wanted him, so Ash just wants a little love and he’ll do anything I want him too, but you” he says “You are Ashs one sticking point, the one thing he resists me over, so if I take you away, then he’s mine. You asked what I want, I want this: Break up with Ash.”

Break up, but “But we’re not even together now” you say “I mean, not that we were before I mean.”

Quinn looks at you carefully “Huh” he says “I think you’re right, but Ash doesn’t think that, he’s still pining away for you.”

“He is a friend” you say “I wouldn’t want to see him hurt.”

“Right” says Quinn, drawing the word out “Anyway, here’s my offer: You make clear to Ash that he won’t be biting you ever again, and that he never has a chance at fucking you, and I’ll tell you” his voice drops to a whisper “I’ll tell you exactly why the elders want Kae watched.”

You snort “I know why” you say “She could disrupt a bunch of their schemes.”

“But one in particular they’re worried about” says Quinn, watching you closely “One very particular one.”

How do you respond?

Easiest Baalzamon favor, ever.
We don't even need to be cruel about it, just break it nice to him. Its not like we give up friendship with him.

>>37594869

We can betray him after.

Yeah need to make this up for Ash later. Hopefully he doesn't get too damaged from it.

>>37594869
>Deal (this pleases Baalzamon)
>>37594968
Why do you hate Dev?

for the sake of clarity *deal* isn't a lie, unless you specify in your vote.

Baalzamon approves for...other reasons

>>37595006
Why would he get damaged from it?
We don't break our friendship, just tell him he won't get any, thats not gonna traumatise him.

>>37595021
Uh, I voted yes without planning on ever upholding it. Can we revote?

>>37594869
>Deal (this pleases Baalzamon)

>>37595008
Oh, Dev. Well if we husbando for Dev I wouldn't mind. We'd need to hang out with him more. Right now we almost avoid him entirely.

The way things are going though it's probably going to be Rainya.

>>37595021
Can we get a second vote.

>Deal
and
>Deal and we'll double cross him once we got what we want

I don't even give a shit about Ash, I just want to fuck over Quinn

>>37595021
I think most of us intend to screw Quinn over in some way or another.

>>37594869
>No deal
Jesus, you guys, so quick to throw Ash away. For fuck's sake, let's hear Ash's story at least.

>>37595054
Just delete and do it new. Or change your vote by linking it.

>>37595064
What are you on? We don't avoid Dev at all, we specifically sought him out, he is just at work most of the day.

>>37595064
I would totaly vote for a date with dev

>>37595054
Please specify in your vote if you're intending to lie.

voting time extended by 5 minutes from now

>>37595095
He's not a girl, fuck him.

>>37595021
>>37595083
Seconding.

>>37595095
What are you talking about?
Its not about our friendship, no one is throwing Ash away.

>>37595091
I see no reason to "screw him over" in this, he isn't asking for anything terrible. I wouldn't have been for fucking or feeding Ash either way.

>>37594869
>Deal (this pleases Baalzamon) (lie)

>>37595096
Na, we've hung out with Dev like twice. It's been pretty consistently Lirael and Rainya for a long while now.

Dude, what do you think will happen if Shee tells him that? Do you think things are going to remain the same with him? Don't be so naive, this is practically killing the friendship with him.

>>37594869
>Deal (this pleases Baalzamon) (lie)

>>37595171
>>37595145
Can someone explain how this "betray" is supposed to work?

>>37595199
I'm sorry, but is Ash doesn't want to be Shees friend anymore just because she won't fuck him, then he was the shittiest friend ever.

>>37595120
>Deal, lie

>>37594869
>Deal (this pleases Baalzamon)

>>37595130
Well I'm for both.

>>37595130
The fact that he wants to make Ash completely dependent on him is more than enough reason for me to want to screw him over.

>>37595219
Ash has been constantly been pushed away, man. There's only so much you can deny someone before it's all over.

>>37595120
>Deal (this pleases Baalzamon) (lie)
Just because there's no way to revert this now.

ok, I'm seeing *Deal but lie* as the winning vote. Writing.

Also, please roll Fellowship 1d20 to convince Quinn.

Rolled 19 (1d20)

>>37595286

Rolled 15 (1d20)

>>37595286

Rolled 5 (1d20)

>>37595286

>>37595286
It isn't the winning vote at all.

>>37595286
We really need to invest in our deception skills.

>>37595319
It is

>>37595319
Looks pretty overwhelming to me anon.

>>37595286
I count 13 legit and 9 lie.
Legit deal has majority.
>>37595336
Recount please

>>37595219
We agree and either tell Ash about the "deal" and everything Quinn said and tell him to keep it quiet until we get the info from Quinn, or we just carry out the deal, get the info from Quinn and then tell Ash about the deal.

And then we decide where we want our relationship with Ash to go

If we don't want this offer we could offer him the truth about Kae being onto him insted but it might be best to keep that ace.

>>37595345
Nope, 13/9 even taking the ones into account that don't explicitly say lie.

>>37595286
Deal but lie didn't win.
Please recount, because I can't see how you could come to that conclusion.

>>37595354
>>37595381
After the recount post by pally 10 lie votes and 3 truth votes.

Lie is a clear winner.

>>37595319
>>37595354
>>37595381
>>37595410
Samefag please.

>>37595429
It wasn't a recount, it was a extension of the voting time.

>>37595381
It's 5 to 1 since >>37595120 that could be what was counted.

ok, clearly this vote is causing a little confusion, that's my fault for not being clear in the original vote and I apologise.

Revote in 5 minutes, voting will last for 5 minutes after that, options will be

Deal (truth)
Deal (lie)
No Deal
Attempt Bargain (Meaning try other terms)

It's not FD but write-ins will be ignored. Revote is occurring because of me not communicating options clearly.

>>37595429
Just because you tried to cheat by voting second time, doesn't make this a recount, it was a extension of regular voting time, the old votes still counted and legit deal had a massice headstart even taking the "but betray" ones into account.

If you're going to samefag at least try and do it right.

Just because you want your shitty option to win despite the majority disagreeing with you doesn't mean that should happen. This is a quest, votes are decided by the majority. People voted to deal in round 1 thinking that they could just back out of it later. We cleared that up with Pally and now the vote is clear.

We could buy up to 4 ranks of Deception on the spot if you're worried. We already got a 19, assuming Pally keeps the previous set of rolls.

Looks pretty decisive to me, might as well close it.

get rekt truthfags

I'd be for it.

Vote closed, counting, previous rolls will be used.

Whilst I'm writing, want to but Deception skill?

I'm all in favour of the linked's proposal

4

>>37595780

>>37595772
4 ranks
>>37595783
>>37595818

>>37595772
Might as well buy 1 Rank.

>>37595832
Sure never said it wasn't.

>>37595772
Yeah.

>>37595819
Yeah. We don't even need to lie really. We could just go through with it if we have to and then tell Aah why we did it later.

>>37595840
>>37595856
Why would we waste 8XP on this?
God, I always said the retards come out late time in this quest, but you don't have to prove it everytime.

>>37595903
Considering how much we lie and bluff? We'd have to do it anyways. Quin is a vampire he's got good perception even if he is an arrogant cunt.

>>37595840
>>37595856
That might be a bit too reactionary. I'd prefer 2 ranks.

ok, buying 4 ranks it is

>>37595901
>We could just go through with it if we have to and then tell Aah why we did it later.
To be fair, if we do that chances are pretty good Quinn will find out, unless he is a major idot, he won't tell us shit until he confirmed it.

No. How dare you like things.

You look up at Quinn “Deal” you say. You can explain to Ash afterwards what’s really going on.

“Really?” he says “That easy huh?”

“Sure” you say “I wish Ash well, but I’m not planning on him biting me again, or ever sleeping with him, so if that’s all you want, I have no issue with it.”

Quinn gives you a searching look and then says “Alright, if you’re going to do this, prove it: you need to tell him first, before I tell you anything.”

“Hah no” you say “you could just refuse to tell me anything.”

“Just as you could afterwards tell Ash it was a mistake” retorts Quinn “I need to see Ash storm out of the club for the night before I tell you anything.”

Well, having Ash out of the way could help if things get unpleasant.

What do you do?

>Tell Ash what’s going on, ask him to storm out

No need to rely on his actor talent here, and Quinn is a vampire, he got bullshit perception.
And mind-powers.

>>37596030
>Bluff Ash, make him think you’re really *breaking up* (you’ll tell him the truth later)

He's fucking the guy that tried to rape Shee, he can deal with his hurt feels for the night.

>>37596030
>>Bluff Ash, make him think you’re really *breaking up* (you’ll tell him the truth later)

Leave something to let him know were going to talk about this more.

>>37596030
>Bluff Ash, make him think you’re really *breaking up* (you’ll tell him the truth later)

>>37596114
He's been dealing with his hurt feels for years now, after all. One more night can't be too bad.

>>37596114
What? Anon, Quinn is the one that tried to rape Shee, not Ash.

>>37596030
>Bluff Ash, make him think you’re really *breaking up* (you’ll tell him the truth later)
Didn't we still get favor from Baalzamon?

>>37596114

I don't think thats necesarily true, I mean, its pretty bad he's hanging out with him, but I don't quite believe the fucking thing yet.

>>37596030
>Tell Ash what’s going on, ask him to storm out
Ichor won't like hurting him first.

>>37596114
your reasoning just makes me laugh

Nevermind, evidently I'm too tired to read properly.

>>37596030

>Tell Ash Truth

>>37596149
I'm fairly sure the favour from Baalzamon was from betraying Ash. Lying to Quinn probably isn't significant enough.

>Bluff Ash, make him think you’re really *breaking up* (you’ll tell him the truth later)

>>37596153

Ichor has never given a shit before.

If Ash is compleatly up for it play the long con

>>37596149
>Didn't we still get favor from Baalzamon?

Nope, this was one time Baalzamon favours the truth over a lie.

>>37596200

Fuck Baalz. His shit isn't worth losing Ash.

>>37596030
>Bluff Ash, make him think you’re really *breaking up* (you’ll tell him the truth later)

>>37596226
Actually, the fact that it was favor from the Betrayal domain just makes me feel more confident that I made the right call.

>>37596247
It wouldn't have meant losing Ash at all, why can't you get that into your heads, have you never been friends with a women who wouldn't let you fuck her?
Is that worth breaking a friendship over?
No!
I might not have a high opinion of the whimp, but he is certainly better than that.

>>37596262
It was not from the Betrayal domain.
It was not a betrayal.

>>37596284
It's pretty clearly a betrayal. It was a committment to give up on Ash and leave him to the predations of Quinn.

>>37596284
I don't want to just be friends with Ash, why can't you get that into your head?

>>37596310
Which has nothing at all to do with losing him, then just say you didn't want to give up getting to fuck your husbando.

>>37596226
The only power he has that I want is the tail. He's the worst of the five, I don't like him, and the people that push for his favor have consistently reinforced that distaste.

>>37596284
Go reread why Quinn wants us to do this.

ok, roll 1d20+10 to bluff Ash

Rolled 11 + 10 (1d20 + 10)

>>37596348

Rolled 17 + 10 (1d20 + 10)

>>37596348

Rolled 9 + 10 (1d20 + 10)

>>37596348

Rolled 13 + 10 (1d20 + 10)

>>37596348

>>37596334
>He's the worst of the five
True, but he still got a lot of useful powers to offer.

>>37596326
Except it does. How do you think this is gonna look when we've already blown him off for so long?

>>37596414
"Blown him off".
Its gonna look like Shee not being interested in him romantically?
How would that mean "losing him"?

>>37596284
>>37596326
Quin wanted us too leave him so he could have him totally dependent on him. How long till he twists Ash into a monster either figurative or literal?

>>37596449
We've ignored him while we promised to stay in touch. Quinn is trying to basically own him we are the only thing keeping him fro breaking.

>>37596449
Because anons on /tg/ are by and large absolute social retards and have no idea how actual human interaction works. For them the husbadno/waifu is the only from of social connection people can form.
They can't really comprehend normal friendship.

>>37596503
>Quin wanted us too leave him
Quinn never asked us to leave him, stop makignt hat shit up anon, it doesn't make your argument look better.

>>37596449
I don't know why you bothered to add romantically. Are you actually serious? Picture someone saying this to someone else IRL. Real people. You seriously think one of them won't be hurt? Get the fuck out of your moms basement sometime.

>>37596525
>I don't know why you bothered to add romantically.
Because that is exactly what it was about? All Quinn asked was for Shee to tell Ash she won't have a romantic relationship with him.
That was the point.
He didn't ask us to stop being friends.
Didn't ask us to stop seeing eachother.
All he asked was to tell Ash that Shee won't have sex with him or feed him.

>>37596564
Read the rest of my post.

>>37596564
Do you really think that he won't bend ash to his will after that? Quin's a predator he'll make Ash a puppet and then we won't be friends anymore. Fucker said as much.

>>37596613
>Do you really think that he won't bend ash to his will after that?
Ash hangs out with him after he tried to rape Shee.
I somehow don't give a shit.

I seriously hope you people don't mistake the people who voted for lying all doing so for Ashs sake.

>>37596646
>Ash hangs out with him after he tried to rape Shee.
Citation needed.

You head over to Ash as he dances, this time with one of the vampire girls, Macy you think her name is.

“Ash” you say, pulling him from the dance floor “Ash I need to talk to you.”

“What?” he says over the noise of the music “What did you need to talk to me about”

“I’ve been talking to Quinn” you say “He said you’re still carrying a torch for me.”

“Shee, I-” starts Ah, you put a finger to his lips, silencing him “Ash” you say “It was never going to work between us, not blood, not sex, there’s nothing like that, I still want to be your friend Ash I still care about y-” You cut off as Ash shoves past you, heading for Quinn, his face a mixture of pain, and anger. You head after him but the rest of the dancers get in your way.

You can see Ash yelling at Quinn, Quinn seems to be trying to calm Ash down. By the time you get there, it’s all over, Ash is headed for the door, shoving people out of his way, and Quinn has a self-satisfied smile on his face.

“Well done” says Quinn “I could almost believe you’re not just a human after all.”

“Just tell me the secret” you say, your voice rough, although it wasn’t real, seeing the pain on Ashs face wasn’t fun.

“You earned it” says Quinn, leaning in and whispering it in your ear.

“No” you say, jerking back “That’s impossible, not even the fae would-”

“Oh they would” says Quinn with a smirk “Imagine: thousands of your duster friends farmed like animals, soon all the dusters will have to belong to a vampire or a fae, be a dream feeder, or a blood whore” he says “I wonder which you’ll choose, if you’re nice to me I might stake a claim right now.” Quinn leans in, as you lean back, feeling like you should hit him. No way are they going to make all the dusters slaves, no worse than slaves, food. Kae would know, she wouldn’t need to spy, she’d know, and she’d have told you. Quinn must be lying, he must be lying.

You take a breath to tell him what you think, and then a heavy hand claps on your shoulder, you turn to see a member of club security there.

“You need to come with me miss” rumbles the guard “now” he starts pulling you away from Quinn.

What do you do?

>Go with him, see where this leads
>Fight him
>Attack Quinn
>Other (what?)

>>37596727
>Go with him, see where this leads
>Look for Kae, try to get her to see you

seconding

>Be ready to kill if someone tries toh urt you.

>>37596727
>>Go with him, see where this leads

>>37596688

I have a feeling this is something setup by ranks above Kae.

Likely the vampires need some incident to push this to the next level.

>>37596727
>Fight him
Pretty sure this guard either is from Yonsul, or form another vampire.

I don't want to risk this much.

>>37596816
Glad we got apport then.

>>37596893
We probably won't be able to use it for some reason.

>>37596948
Welp we ca still escape, it'd just be bloodier.


We have our shield and armor stored safely for quick putting on right pally?

>>37596684
Uh, did you not read this entire half of the quest of Ash being here with Quinn?
Seriously anon, thats not healthy.

the vampires plan makes me more angry then it should

>>37597007
It should make you pretty damn angry though.

You let the security guard lead you away, as you walk past the mass of dancers you try to catch Kae’s eye, but you don’t know if she saw you or not. You guard leads you through a door marked *staff-only* and up a flight of stairs.

“Where are we going?” you ask.

“Boss wants to see you” says the guard, and ignores any other questions you ask.

You’re taken to a wooden door marked *Managers Office* and the guard thrusts you through, closing the door behind you.

You see a luxurious office with a young man lounging in an expensive chair, he gets up and smiles at you “How nice to finally meet you” he says.

“Who are you?” you ask.

“Ah of course, how rude of me” he says, he...blurs, and where there was a young man, there is now an 8ft-tall hulking demon.

“I’m Garrax” growls the demon, “And we, are finally Reunited.”
