>And thank you, everyone, for your patience thursday.

>>37749466
I'd like to go into town, but I'd also like to give nin a visit to her moth village to say goodybe to her mom again.

so, town and other.

>>37749466
>Hunt something down. At speed. Burn some energy before you go.

>>37749466

Onwards into town!
We'll see about letting Nin visit her family prior to leaving, if not sooner.

>>37749489
>give nin a visit to her moth village to say goodybe to her mom again.

We're not actually leaving the forest yet. We can do that later.

>>37749704
Cool. Say, while we're visiting people, anyone interested in putting together a royal to do list before we depart from the forest on our grand adventure? We haven't managed to track down Seranthis yet, for example.

>>37749489
>>37749704
As far as I remember Nin wanted to see her parents again after having left the forest and having retured.

>>37749845
It wouldn't be a bad idea to convince her to see her family, let them know how she's grown and that she'll be fine when she goes on her journeys. And also to let her continue spreading her propaganda of the future Queendom.

>>37749804

Don't forget, we still need to restore more of the ruins. It's good magic practice and we were going to do that anyway, disappearing for ages isn't really conductive to all of that.

>Don't forget, we still need to restore more of the ruins.
Lyra has pointed out IC why that isn't a good idea already.

>>37750147
She hasn't yet tough.
And its unlikely she will before our journey starts.

>>37750147
>TWICE
Getting ahead of things anon. She's only grown once.

>>37750170
>>37750200
Yeah, I realized after I posted. I think I may have gottenn her confused with somebody else.

No point in wasting time, you suppose.

You kick up your complete lack of heels and make for the village, Sheszka trotting easily along behind you.
She's managed to get even faster, somehow. Which means running for you is... not running for her. At all.

You can keep a decent clip, though. The forest unravels around you as you move, giant trees fading into a meadow, the ruins vanishing behind you as you clatter over the ancient road.

You slow your pace, your hair fluttering to your shoulders as you breathe.

Walking up to the hilltop, standing before the village- It's a little hive of business, people moving through the streets, laughing and talking, the wind carrying sounds and smells.

One foot in front of the other, you head down the hill.

The guards let you through without complaint, laughing and marking your names down as they wave you into Oakring.
You're left to puzzle where to go first- Theresa probably has information on trade caravans and the like, but the guild might be able to tell you how to sign up. Or who would actually hire you.
And bugging Lann is always fun.

You ease past a group of women and a few men, heading to the river with all sorts of things in hand- Cleaning most likely.

And up ahead is-
A covered wagon, of all things.
Several covered wagons.

All sorts of goods are being offloaded, a few men hauling packages and bundles and boxes into the trader's shop.

>Check in with the trader, ask about schedules. Yes, you know there's one outside.
>Head to the guild. Irritate Lann, gain information! Its a two-for.

>Other (?)

>>37750517
>Head to the guild. Irritate Lann, gain information! Its a two-for.

>>37750053
Nah. Restoring any serious amount of them means having to SIT DOWN and DO SAME THING for a long time.

Lyra is physically incapable of that.

We've got the entrance wide enough for Mom. SHE's going to go hunting for Seranthis, WE have the whole world to see.

>>37750517
>>Find whomever's in charge here! Question intensely.

Surprise spider!

>>37750517
>Find whomever's in charge here! Question intensely.

>>37750517

Thats clearly way too good a deal to pass up on.

>>37750517
>Head to the guild. Irritate Lann, gain information! Its a two-for.

Surprise spider, yes.

>>37750517
>Find whomever's in charge here! Question intensely.

This poor man thought he was safe in town.

>>37750084
I am now feeling a combination of nostalgia and shame.

>>37750517
>Check in with the trader, ask about schedules. Yes, you know there's one outside.
she'd probably know enough for us to get started. Plus it would probably be smart not to piss off the traders who could put a bad name in for us to all the other traders making it hard to leave via caravan.

>>37750517
Get Lann, she's always fun to hang out with.

>>37750517
>Check in with the trader, ask about schedules. Yes, you know there's one outside

She probably knows the caravans too, considering she has been doing the caravan guard job for a while.

Visiting Lann it is!
Writing!

>>37750739
I had no idea there was one.

There should be more games where you can have a giant sapient spider as a mount/companion though.

While you definitely want to jump right in-
Well, they aren't villagers, are they?

And you are most certainly a giant spider.

Your fingers tap a litany of irritation onto your arm. You do your best to reassure yourself: They're busy, they're working, blah blah blah.

You'll just get annoyed if you stick around. Turning tail, you head through the village, waving at people as you walk. It doesn't take much before you reach the guild, pushing open the doors and stepping into its 'tavern'.

There's a few people sitting idly around, chewing on this or that for lunch. A few wave, but there's at least a pair you don't recognize. Maybe they came in with the caravan.

The man minding the bar directs you upstairs- Lann is apparently still sleeping. Or just lounging. It hardly matters.
Your hand snaps lightly against the door, three sharp knocks answered by a groggy voice.
You wait.

A messy haired half-elf pulls the door open, rubbing at her eyes and yawning.
" 'S m'day off. What d'ya want?"
You raise an eyebrow.
"Sleeping in, Lann?"

She yawns again, sweeping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Lyra? What're you doing around so early?"
"It is past noon, yes?"
"Yeah, that's what I said."

"I am rolling my eyes, yes."
"Uh huh."
"All six."
"I'm sure."

She leans on the doorframe, sweeping one hand out, gesturing around.
"So...?"
"So?"
"Lyra, did you come here just to poke at me?"
"May I?"
"No."

"That's no fun. I came to ask about caravans, and such. And guarding. And Jobs. And the trade city and the elflands, yes."
"The elflands?"
"The elflands."
"Huh. Better than Ellsvier."
"I know, right?"

But we want to ask everything.

>>37751595

The priorities.

Which elf town we should go to first.

>>37751595

Ask if there are any 'monster hot-spots'. Places that are renound for being dangerous hell holes that only the most experienced adventurers (and brokenly powerful Spiders) dare venture.

Shit, I nodded off and missed a vote.
Damn my sleep schedule.

>>37751595

Caravans gotta be easy, this is more important.

Okay.

Why were you expecting anything different?

>>37752086
>All the questions.
isn't that what we always choose?
then again, why wouldn't we?

>>37752086
We choose all because we are interested in all, if anything this is your fault for making us so curious.

>>37752086
Seriously why even bother counting?

>>37752239
Well, there is always the possibility that a write-in is popular enough to turn it into:
>All the questions +1

>>37752317
in such a case we could just automatically ask the obvious questions we had already planned on, and then ask for write ins.

>>37752374
Because it is better to break it up into chunks you can write in 40 minutes, and gives the QM a ~15 minute break between updates while everyone votes.

And sometimes we just don't pick all the questions.

So.
We're going to have to walk everywhere, aren't we?

I mean, we're not lucky enough to get to ride in a wagon.

>>37752743
Worse, since wagons are apparently terrible for writing or reading in, we are going to have to carry Sara too.

>>37752822
We need to complain about literally carrying this team more.

>>37752872
>>"Not that one."

This is going to be coming up alot huh?

>>37752895
Even by monster standards, it's kind of weird we grew a secondary decorative skull.

Now we get to be a skulltula

>>37752895
Most likely yes.

>>37752923
Well, as long as we stay away from becoming a gold one, we have nothing to worry about.

>>37753001
I hope we'll gain the ability to levitate our decorative skull when Lyra gets her next upgrade.

That way we could use it as a carrier for our flying friends and as a dropship for the wolf.

>>37753085
that's crazy, anon. you're crazy.

>>37753085
The skull is non-detachable. And probably will remain as such for any following evolutions.

>>37753001
>>37753085

REQM mentioned that metal spider will give us metal traceries on the skull, so I guess even if we do become money spider, we won't have to worry about being a pure gold skulltula.

The most important thing we must achieve for our next transformation is being bigger and even more stronk.

>>37753332

I kind of like our size right now, to be honest. We are just big enough to barely fit indoors with normal people. Now, learning how to make magma or earth armor to become a giant, elemental spider would be pretty cool.

>"...... so big you couldn't even see all of......"
>"Yes, those were much better than the hydra. Its blood was poisonous so I couldn't eat any, but I kept one of the skulls as a trophy so it wasn't a total loss."

>>37753612
We need to train the mothling to say that.

>>37753409
I told you guys full spiderbutt dresses are great.

>>37753466
Accurate, but Lyra is still in denial about the bears.

>>37753716
She can stop whenever she wants to anon.

She just doesn't want to.

"So?"
"What?"
"Are you going to answer my questions?"
"You asked for general information. On something like six different things."
"Yes."

Lann gives you a stern look.
"Lyra."
"Lann."
She meets your gaze.

Then she looks away, sighing, running a hand through tangled hair.
"You're buying breakfast for me, then."
"Lunch."
"Whatever."

It takes a few minutes for her to get herself sorted out- fresh clothes, dunking her head in a bucket. Or something. Maybe they have showers or baths here? You didn't see any, but it's not really giant spider sized up here.

Later, seated at a table (Sans bench for you), with a rather decent spread of food, you get yours answers.
"So-"
Lann takes bites between words, wolfing down food like a dying woman.
You're kind of envious.
So you flag down the woman working, and order more. A lot more. For yourself, of course.

Lann washes down a particularly large chunk of bread with glass of water, wiping her mouth on her sleeve.
"Where do you want me to start, anyway?"
"Wherever you feel like?"
She pokes you in the forehead, leaning across the table.

"Pick Something."
"Guarding, then."
"What about it? The work? Where to get it?"
You tilt your head and wait.

>>37753889
"Yeah, yeah."
She takes another sip.
"If you want to do it- Go through the guild-"
"People won't hire people from outside the guild?"
"Not like that. It's more, ah, You don't want the kinds of jobs you'd get elsewhere."

"Alright."
"As for the actual work, it's boring."
"Just boring?"
"All the work of sitting and waiting, with all the bonuses of having to do it standing and walking."

"You don't enjoy the travelling? New places?"
"I enjoyed leaving behind the elflands."
"You're saying it now, yes."
"It'd bug anyone from the parts."
"Dad didn't like it."
"Hah."

"Is guarding caravans really that bad, then?"
"It's not... that bad. You'll meet people, eat new things. Go new places. I've seen some pretty amazing towns."
"Like what?"
"There was one built behind a waterfall, another perched atop a cliff- Hells, I remember one made from old boats."

"Old boats? They just... Stitched them together, yes?"
"Something like that. They beached them, built walkways between them. And it just, y'know. Grew. More boats, more people."
"Huh."

"What about the trade city?"
"Harboursmouth?"
"Is that what it's called?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"

"I imagine cause it was built at a harbour's mouth."
"Then, the village is oakring because-"
"Yes."
"Are humans just really bad at naming things?"
"Seems like it. People either name things after where they are, or-"
"After themselves, yes?"
"Right."

>>37753924

"Well, ah. What about the elflands, yes?"
"Uh. I didn't spend long there, to be honest. And pretty much no time across the water."
"Just at the coastal city?"
"Yeah. It wasn't bad or anything. Just not what I wanted to do with my life. And I left pretty early along."

"No information, then?"
"I could tell you a good place to play in the water. Get your feet wet."
"No feet, yes."
She laughs.

"Back to the trade city, then?"
"Alright. What about?"
"How easy is it to find work? Or caravans? Will they have trouble with an arachne?"
"Eh. They're pretty good about monsters. They trade with just about anyone, after all. There'll always be people, but... Well, nobody will let them do anything more than sneer. Nevermind if they actually tried anything, they'd wind up without arms."

"I do not think I will be pulling anyone's arms off."
"Sure sure. Works easy to find. More so with the guild. And there's always caravans in every direction. They don't even stop for the winter."
"Even with the snow? I thought the wagons would have trouble, yes."
"It doesn't get that bad around the city. It doesn't even snow at all further south, but, ah-"

"Hm?"
"Don't go too far south. They don't like monsters too much. And arachne less."
"The empire?"
"Just a city now. They won't even trade, so you wouldn't have to worry about hopping the wrong caravan."

"They won't trade?"
"Tainted by monsters and nonhuman filth, or some such garbage."
"What about that one merchant?"
"Which?"

"The fat idiot, yes. He went into the forest."
"What."
"I saved him from wolves. His family too, yes. He was going on about how great humans were."
"Probably just grew up near one of the churches. If he was from there, you'd know. Also, the guards would probably have killed him rather than let him anywhere near the forest. We don't need that kind of trouble."

>Take a job. Its something to do.
Just a quickie. Invite Lann. Yes it's a day off but she knows jobs with us go pretty easy and fast. It'll be a fun ride in place of the morning exercise.

>>37754015
>Ask about schedules. Or seeing about getting registered, maybe.

>>37754015

We still need to get Lann an appointment with Elle for some new clothes.

>>37754015
>>Ask about schedules. Or seeing about getting registered, maybe.

>>37754330
oh shit I entirely forgot.
It's true!

Schedules it is!

Writing!

>>37754330
How about we get Elle move into the village before we finally head out? (and just generally make "spiders are leaving the nest" a big moment for which everybody is going to participate and everybody starts their path at once... Set some traps in the night to catch bros for it, it'll be probably the only way to get them in on it.)

..and my initial point is make Elle show off dresses for Lann right in the village for advertisement.

>>37754479
What I really want to do is make elle her nesthouse by the village before we go.

Our other siblings, too, if they're finding their own nests.

I mean, we're the only earthbender in the family, it's kind of our job to make everyone nice baths or whatever else they want.

>>37754605

I worry about what the absence of our entire family from their post will mean in a time of crisis. If the little bros are the only ones left around, then whose going to watch for the signals or come from that direction in the event of an emergency. Who's going to watch mom's treasure stash?

>>37754709
>whose going to watch for the signals or come from that direction in the event of an emergency.
The hundreds of other arachne in the forest.

>Who's going to watch mom's treasure stash?
Who in the forest would even want it?

>>37754709
Wasn't Elfdad supposed to develop some way of near-instantaneous communication for the family?

>>37754709
I think mom will keep living in her nest.
And hopefully, we'll all distribute to nests near the ruins, to keep an eye on it.

>>37754605
Bros probably got a treehouse somewhere in the woods, go hobo or stay in the old nest.

Sara would love moving closer to the civilisation with ALL THE BOOKS, so she's likely to move along with Elle.
Or hang around in the old nest until she gets through Dad's collection (which is pretty huge I remind you)

Aria will probably go abroad like us or dungeon dive as Mom's understudy.

Kek.

No. Not at all. She'll be on the road the moment the last of us is ready to leave.

The wanderlust is probably eating her alive right now.

You lean back on your shell a bit.
I wasn't enough food. But, still. Eating is extremely satisfying.

"Caravans and stuff, yes?"
"Probably?"

"That is... fair, yes."
"Mhm."

"Well, then. Ah- Do I need to join the guild to get work? Can I just take jobs? How does it work?"
"Uh. You can register, or you can work for the guild directly."
"Those sound the same, yes?"
"Nah, it's like- If you get registered, you get a badge. And you can take jobs, but you don't have to take jobs, right?"

"Okay. And working for the guild?"
"You're expected to do a certain number of jobs. Of a certain difficulty. But you get room and board, you get training, they help with equipment, and you'll always have reliable people to work with. Or at least to turn to, if you need it."

Don't need room and board, don't need training, only kinda need equipment, and our group is a small army in and of itself.

Fairly sure Moms training qualifies as a war crime in human and elf lands. Not sure about dorfs.

There is also one thing we're forgetting:

HOW DO WE DISPLAY JIN'S FEATHER

In earlier threads there was a bit of a talk, but it got forgotten, which saddens me greatly.

So I propose we flex out metalcraft muscles a bit.
This world has glass, right?
Soo we metalcraft an amulet. As ornate as we can get it, big enough to hold the feather and a glass covering slotted over it.

Making the glass should be also easy - just craft a form (to shape that would fit the amulet), use fire to heat the glass and let it flow in, then cool.

Bam, very fancy and secure feather display case.

Right. Gimme a badge.
Got it!

fun!

>>37755322
we're just sort of carrying it in a safe place, I guess. But yeah, a display might be nice.

>>37755333
you don't understand how much we desire badges.
And ribbons.
And medals.

>>37755333
Does Mom have a badge?

>>37755392
Your mom does indeed have a badge all her own

>>37755416
We should ask to compare badges. Maybe ours is shinier.

>>37755416
We should show off to mom.

And collect as many badges as possible

>>37755434
Huh, we should wear any things we pick up, including barges and birdbath's feather, eventually we'll be covered in little trinkets and trophy.

>>37755469
[Monster collecting intensifies]

>>37755416
Having our own badge seems very official.
Spider detective firm when

>>37755469
Then when we have eight we can challenge the Elite 4.

>>37755506
That and our half plate and we'll be the best sneaker ever!

>"You're expected to do a certain number of jobs. Of a certain difficulty. But you get room and board, you get training, they help with equipment, and you'll always have reliable people to work with. Or at least to turn to, if you need it."
huh, how odd. I would expect all those things from registering.

>>37755434

Aria will beat us up and take our badge.

>>37755541
And then go to the other continent and get more badges!

>>37755647
>>37755469
we need to collect as many badges, trophies, ribbons, and medals as possible.

We should ask Lann if the Badge is shiney

>>37755333
Is it shiny?

"Can I get registered, then?"
"Probably? I'll find someone."
"Also, how could I take jobs, before?"
"Huh?"
"I have taken jobs in the village, yes?"

"Local stuff. People know you, right? You can't just walk into a guild halfway across the world and expect them to trust you with a job."
"Ah."
"C'mere."

She stands, stretching, pulling each arm behind her back as she heads down another hall. It's much shorter than the upstairs piece- Only three doors long.
She knocks lazily on one, swinging it open when she gets an answer from within.
You stay in the hall, peering around the door.

The room is a little small for you.

"Lann? You filled out the month, didn't you? I didn't think I'd see you up before sundown."
"Caught a bad case of the spiders, sir."
He laughs, looking up from his desk and catching sight of you hovering in the doorframe.

"I'd invited you in, but-"
"I am thinking I would break the door, yes."
"The offices were built after the rooms upstairs. And I am fairly sure they were just small closets."
"Well, now it's your small closet, sir."
"Thank you, Lann."

He glances between you.
"How can I help you two, then?"
"Crazy eyes here-"
"My eyes are perfectly normal, yes."
"You have six, and they're all black."
"Yes. Normal."

"She wants to get registered up."
He blinks.
"Really? Aren't you a bit young, miss?"
"Not for an arachne, yes? I will be leaving the nest soon."

>>37756264
"I didn't think it was quite that fast, is all."
"Yes, yes. I haven't grown in months, now."
"Her chest has been growing for months!"
"Nin, If I have to keep you in a box, I will, yes."

Lann has looked away to laugh.
"What does it take to get registered, anyway?"
"Uh. People speak for your reputation, then we decide whether or not to allow it."
"I need to find more than Lann, then?"
"Normally yes? But half that guild drops by to ask if you've been registered yet. Several times a week."

You look back to your friend.
"Really?"
"They like the stories."
"I don't remember the stories, yes."
"You were a little drunk."
"Oh."

"Do you want me to make up the papers now?"
"Yes, please. Do I need to have the rest of these idiots registered as well?"
"Who?"
"My friends, yes."
"You can vouch for them, if you like. Or they can try and register on their own."

>That's fine then.
>Sign'em up.

>>37756284

>>37756284

We already know their answers but might as well

>>37756284
>Ask them.

>>37756284

Assuming they want to.

Are the badges shiny?

we probably know the answer but it doesn't hurt to make sure.

>>37756284
>Ask them.

Also,

>her chest has been growing every month!

A-are we becoming exceptionally busty?

Will we need bras?

>>37756284
Badges for everyone!
Do we get trenchcoats and a fedora? We need a mystery to solve.

>>37756284
Ask them. I expect explaining it to shezka to be funny.

But honestly they're pretty much inseparable from us so it's not like they'll go do stuff on their own.

I have sudden self consciousness about out bust size.
and our hip size.

>>37756264
>>Ask them.

Asking them!

Writing!

>>37756470
>>37756565

We should ask Lann if she thinks we're pretty

>>37756623
Like lann would know.
We should ask some nervous guardsman.
Oh! Oh!

Let's go see if we can lure that centaur into talking to us if we only stick our upper body around a corner.

>>37756643
This seems like a brilliant idea.

>>37756673
we may need to cover some of the eyes with our bangs.

>>37756754
Band of silk over our upper eyes, it'll just look like we're wearing a head band.

>>37756915
It's disorienting to see through all of our eyes now. Pretty sure we ran into that problem in an earlier thread

>>37757043
to not see*
Can't type...

>>37757043
We totally did. But I don't think we need depth perception that badly for a conversation.

You turn, twisting your body to face your friends.
"Well? You were listening, yes? Do you want to be registered, or...?"
"Truly, to be lauded by my lady as worthy of both praise and-"
"Do you even know what that word means?"
"Yes?"

"You aren't being registered. Sheszka?"
"Do you think I should, Al-Lyra?"

You run your hand through her hair.
"When people see it, everyone will know you are strong and reliable, yes? That you can be trusted."
"Then why can't I get one?"
"Because you are as slippery as a snake, yes."
"Hey!"
"Sorry."

"I'll- I'll get one! Yes!"
"I will make you a necklace, yes. Or something like it. You can wear it and let everyone see."
"Yes!"
"Ah. Can I get one for Jin as well?"

"She's a little, uh. Sleepy. I don't think she'd be doing jobs without you. Do you think she'd need one?"
"She'll want one, in any case. And it could be useful if she had to carry messages, yes."

"Alright, then."
He hands you a quill, tip heavy with ink.
"Sign here, please."

You take it, scratching your name across the parchment, ink trailing neatly into the letters of your name. Your full name.
He takes back the paper, and replaces it on the desk with a trio of iron seeming circles, each emblazoned with the guild's crest.
Just shiny enough. You were probably right to grab one for Jin.

He scans the paper, nods, and tucks it away into his desk.
"Lyra Niallasdottir of Firescarn? It sounds nearly noble."
"YES!"
"Oh, Gods no."

WE FUCKED UP

>>37757142
thanks for running

>>37757142
I'm gonna be missing half the thread monday because of appointments.

Also, tricking centaurs into talking with us by only showing our upper body when?

>>37757145
SHIT SHE GOT HER REVENGE NOW SHE HAS OUR FULL NAME

>>37757142
>>Comments, questions and concerns, Answered in thread!
Could we get Ella, Lyra, Sara, and the blacksmith to design some awesome new armour together before everybody leaves the nest?

>>37757142
Thanks for the thread.

>>37757239
>>37757155
Thanks for playing!


>>37757159
Why in any gods name would you think that a six eye girl, each one a pitch black orb, leaning around a building at a height to high for a human body, her hands, claws as sharps as knives hanging onto the side- is somehow less frightening now tht you can see some of the spider bits?

>>37757217
The aesthetic might be a little far away from each other for that to work.
Mikhael wants to keep people alive, and make good armour.
Elle likes lace.

>>37757346
>The aesthetic might be a little far away from each other for that to work.
Ah, okay. I was thinking that Mihael would do the design for the protective metal bits, Elle for the layers of cloth, and Sara would add magic.

>>37757346
Obviously because most of the eyes are covered and we're wearing gloves.
he wouldn't be able to tell anything was amiss until he got too close to avoid pleasant conversation!

>>37757346
Well... armored dresses can be a thing.

>>37757443
And we're actually huge enough to wear one!

We might wanna keep quite about registering for now guys. If the guild realizes we did they'll want to celebrate, then we won't get anything done and Lann's legs might not make it this time

>>37757346
Would we have caused an incident by ambushing the caravans head with questions?

I am still outraged we never hung upside down on anything in town to menace people.
>>37757346
Are there any town structures large enough to hang from upside down?

>>37757399
It might work like that. Just keep Elle away from 'designing' any armour.

>>37757401
And when you plow through the building because your depth perception is messed up?

>>37757443
>>37757493
I thought they didn't 'work' as such. Or rather, they were too awkward and limiting to use.
If you want to suggest designs, go for it!

>>37757515
They were there to pick up spider silk, actually. You would have had to deal with smarmy merchants.

>>37757583
The guild building, probably. Most houses have thatched roofs and single floors. You need something solid to hang from.

>>37757654
Hey.
We probably wouldn't plow through the building!

Especially if we come to a complete stop before blindfold/headbanding!

>>37757654
Can...
Can we still deal with smarmy merchants?

>>37757654
>Just keep Elle away from 'designing' any armour.

That's a surprise. I had guessed layers of extremely strong spider silk would make excellent ballistic armour. Especially for people like Lann who don't like to get weighted down a lot by their protection.

>>37757866
That's manufacturing.
If we let her design it, it'd just be pretty dresses.

>>37757665
If you say so.
I'd probably make you roll for it.

>>37757694
As long as you don't sign anything.

>>37757866
It absolutely would.
But Elle likes designing clothing, not armour. She wouldn't think so much about protection, more about how it would look.
You'd end up with fantasy female armour.

>>37757934
>fantasy female armor
maybe we should get some.
For later.

Though, we might need to wait until we are done growing before we make that kind of armor.

>>37757934
>>37757904
Ah, I see. So, how many dresses would Lann have to endure to get one set of armour made?

>>37757988
Lann is pretty smart, and rather quick on her feet. She'd probably negotiate it in. Armour first, so she can do her work and come back safe.

>>37757974
I'm not even sure how it'd work.

>>37758101
>She'd probably negotiate it in
Awww, that's no fun to watch.

We also need to give Jin the amulet. Did we remind dad to hurry up with his research?

>>37758162
You don't think Lann and Elle bartering back and forth over the numbers of dresses, Lann trying to ramp back on lace whatevers, Elle trying to slip in more experimental underwear as they argue would be entertaining?

As for the amulet- give Dad a poke when you're home sometime. It's research, so it's definitely not something he's stopped, just distracted.

>>37758261
Don't worry reQM, I think it'd be interesting.

Though I'm always advocating more weaving and house making and shit.

>>37758261
Okay, I'll have faith in you. You'll manage to make it interesting.
