The past week has been…strange, for you. For one thing, there have been no missions for you to go on and you’ve been told by Mary and Morrigan is actually completely normal, Mercs charge so much because they know they won’t have something to do every day. The other things that’s been strange for you is how much…time, you seem to have. The MMS building is solid, you’ve made sure to check everything but the private rooms and you only found solid structure. With no missions to go on either, you’ve had no guns to clean or check, you tried one day and Morrigan stopped you since they were, “Already fucking clean so go do something else.”

That’s left you with plenty of time to read the books Mary gave you, mostly the first-aid book, but you’ve also spent hours going through the dictionary since it has lots of words in it that are also useful. You hope to understand what everyone else is talking about more often. You’ve also worked out with Cath every time she’s asked you, you think you’re getting stronger. You feel stronger at least. They’ve also been making sure to feed you a lot, lots of bread and soup with new things in it. Like meat. You’re pretty sure you like meat.

>+1 P for Billy. (Working out + better food, don’t expect another one so easily.)

Currently you’re asleep, dreaming once again. Dreaming has become a lot more normal for you since you’ve been at MMS. But your dreams are still troubled.

What do you dream of this time?
>The crash, again.
>Your first battle.
>The last mission.
>Nothing.

Normally your dreams are troubled at best, vague images that haunt your sleeping hours. Sometimes they go to full blown nightmares, but you haven’t told anyone about them, it’s not like they’re something that you can bother them with anyway, that would mean waking them up. Tonight however, your dreams are strangely untroubled. The most you can remember is a vague white light just before you wake up, you think you see a silhouette but can’t be sure as suddenly your eyes flash open.

Early morning sunlight filters through your window, landing directly on your pile of blankets and the pillow that you still think is one of the best things in the world. Looking around, you realize that nobody came to wake you up today. Everybody had been taking turns waking you up, Nem only doing it once while Cath, Morrigan and Mary had all done it at least twice. A brief spike of terror shoots through you as you realize that if you don’t hurry they might be mad at you, you quickly don your cleanest set of clothes and put your pistol belt over it, checking to make sure it’s on safe.

Hurrying down the stairs while trying to be quiet, you turn towards the kitchen door and see that it’s closed despite probably being time for breakfast. As you approach the door, you can hear voices behind it, slightly raised if anything. Slowing your approach briefly you…

>Listen at the door.
>Just go in.
>Wait here until the voices sound like they’re done.
>Other.

>>38043673
>Also hope we don't go full medic and keep our mechanics
You don't lose the ability to work with technology if you take first aid courses...

That's not how the human brain works anon, hell medical treatment and mechanical ability are two entirely different tiers of skills, when you learn your secondary and tertiary specializations when you get your role in the military 'going medic' is secondary and 'going mechanic' is tertiary, meaning you have both.

You remember from your time at The Compound, that learning and doing what the others wanted you to do before they told you and then having it done early often saved you a beating. Sometimes they even told you good job! The girls from MMS still haven’t hit you, which you like, but you’re still waiting on something bad enough to happen so they do. Maybe you can find out if there’s something they want you to do if you listen. You just hope you don’t get caught, that hurts a lot.

You take the few more steps necessary to place your ear next to the door and begin to listen to the conversation.

“…don’t see why it needs to be now of all times,” you hear Mary say, “he’s only been here a week.”

“The kid doesn’t know what SEX is,” you hear Morrigan saying, “The first night I just thought he was a little dense or playing her, but he had NO FUCKING CLUE what that other girl was asking him Mary.”

“She wasn’t exactly direct with him either if what you told me is true,” Mary replies.

“He doesn’t remember sleeping on a bed,” you hear Nem say, “A bed. I thought you were joking or he was pulling our leg, but when I went in he was on the floor.”

“He’s at least sixteen,” says Morrigan, “probably older since he’s been filling out so fast from the food. That means he should have urges just like anybody else. I haven’t seen him so much as acknowledge the fact that we’re all women.”

“So?” says Mary, “Do you want him to ogle your ass all the time?”

“No damnit,” Morrigan says, “You know better than that. But even if he was the nicest fucker on the planet, he would’ve at least LOOKED by now Mary. Watch his eyes sometime a book, his rifle, food, or any one of us they all look the same.”

“Surely…” you hear Mary say, “Cath, surely he’s at least looked at you while you were working out?”

>>38044641
I mean dream a dream, but like... why would anyone want that?

>Get home, check /tg/
>See Merc 2030 is up
>Get sad knowing that I have to go back out again.

You don’t hear if Cath says anything or not, she’s too quiet to have her words make it through the door.

There’s a pause and it’s almost long enough for you to think it’s ok to go in.

“He’s really that bad?” you barely hear Mary say.

“We’ve all got issues Mary, even you,” Morrigan says, “But I’ve seen windup toys with more self-determination than him.”

“So what do we do?” you hear Nem ask.

“I don’t know,” says Morrigan, “I kill stuff, not fix people’s heads.”

There’s silence then, another long one that finally results in the scraping of a chair on the floor.

“I’ll go wake him up,” you hear Mary’s voice say, “Otherwise his food will get cold.”

With that you recognize your moment and step back quietly from the door before then walking back to it and opening the door. Mary’s part of the way to the door, her face still set, with Morrigan, Cath and Nem still at the table.

“Will!” says Mary with a smile suddenly appearing on her face, her tone changing drastically from before, “You’re up. Did you sleep well?”

“Yes,” you say, moving towards the table and the large plate of food set out for you.

“Good,” she says as you sit, pulling a glass of milk out for you, “Did you have any idea what you were going to do today?”

That’s another thing, lately they’ve been asking you what YOU want to do. It’s a little strange, so mostly you try to make yourself useful. You’ve almost got that whole book down by now.

“Maybe you should try looking about town today?” says Mary with a smile.

>You’re going to read, again.
>Today’s workout day with Cath.

Stick to a pattern, because it's easier to stay within a set schedule.

>>38044856

They might issue their orders as suggestions, but they are still orders and you will do as you are told.

Alright, counting.

Ok.

Working out and People watching are tied.

We'll do both.

>>38045172
Go compromise!

>>38045172
Does that mean people will be watching while we work out?
I kid, but still.

Is complete. Also god damn when they put it all out like that Will really IS something else. Wonder what they have in mind.

Choo choo motherfuckers I hear the train coming!

>>38045205
Now you got me thinking this'll somehow rope all the girls into workouts. All of it an attempt to see if they can get a reaction out of him.

>>38045231
I can see Will staring at one of them and then when they think he's finally getting normal asking why their shirt is inside out.

>>38045231
Will's Thoughts "Their gonna send me back to the compound. I need to be more useful."

>>38045297
Totally agree. Perhaps we should start working harder more frantically so they ask us why? So that we can reveal the reasoning?

They're.

>>38045342
Shit, I used the wrong there. I need to watch my grammar more.

Its both hilarious and sad. I'm wanting to laugh because this is sometimes pretty funny. Then suddenly its Feels o clock and the train comes in. Into my face with furious feels and tears.

>>38045371
Will? Will stop posting here.. this is not a place for you.

>>38045297
Why would he think they would send him back to the compound? It was ransacked and occupied by the military and Will knows it.

>>38045402
Not him. But maybe someplay similar to the compound? Or just get "rid" of us. We've seen what happens to those who aren't useful.

>>38044856
“It’s workout day…” you say, slightly confused. Working out is good, Cath does it and you’ve been getting better at it.

Mary’s face flickers and she glances at Cath, then turns back to you.

“Alright,” she says, “But when you’re done you should go outside, maybe talk to people.”

You nod at Mary, unsure as to why you should be talking to people, but you can go outside.

“Good,” she says, smiling at you, “You finish your food and let it digest, then go with Cath ok?”

You nod, eating your food at a nice steady pace that combines speed with letting you taste Mary’s cooking, which is still the best stuff you remember ever eating. Nem gives you a brief smile before heading out and Morrigan simply heads upstairs after a brief greeting. Cath nods at you and heads towards the weight room, presumably to set up the weights.

As you finish eating, Cath comes back into the room and sits next to you, Mary taking away your dishes and washing them before you can do anything. It makes you feel weird, not having something to do. You wait with Cath as Mary goes back out to the lobby to read like she normally does.

You remember what they were talking about before you walked in, how you don’t know what “Sex” is. You’ve still got some time before you need to go workout, maybe you should ask Cath what it is? But then again maybe you shouldn’t, you did just listen in on them and it might give you away, if Cath hit you it’d probably hurt a lot.

>Ask Cath what sex is.
>Just wait.
>Other.

>>38045402
It was an application of typical reasoning that people in these type of situations feel. Most of will responses are typified of those that experience this type of trauma.

>>38045430
>>Just wait.

>>38045430
>>Just wait.

>>38045430
>Just wait.
Too curious can be a problem. We ask Morrigan questions not Cath

>>38045430
>Just wait.
We can look it up in the dictionary when it's safer.

>>38045430
>>Just wait.
No reason to give them a reason to hit us.

>>38045430
>>Just wait.
Cath doesn't talk much. If this need explaining we'll get nowhere. Plus safer this way.

>>38045430
>>Just wait.
Will should at least have some tact. Not a lot, but some.

>>38045479
She may take it upon herself to Show us.

>>38045430
>Ask Cath what sex is.
No. She got flushed last time, that must mean she was sick.
>Just wait.

>>38045430
>Just wait.

>>38045493
What if sex hurts? Like bullet wounds?

>>38045529
With her body? It'll hurt alright. Hurt very much good

I still think its funny that in one quest we are the paragon of suave and in the other we are socially broken.

>>38045430
>>Just wait.

>>38045529
Oh.. we shouldn't ask. You're right it's probably some kind of punishment.

>>38045430
>Just wait.

>>38045565
It's a nice duality.The fact Guide does it well makes it even better.

Ok, clearly not asking Cath.

Writing.

>>38045639
it's always a hive mind with important things.

>>38045639
Well of course!

If we ask bad or dumb questions they'll hit us!

God poor Will... Cath wouldn't hurt you. She'd only make your hips sore!

>>38045925
Implying she'd show us if we asked.

>>38045925
>they'll hit us!
I know it's only been a week but you do know that's going to stop right?

>>38045957
Eventually. Poor Will doesn't have a concept of it though. He thinks he's been put in another compound still. We can pull him out that. Maybe.

He is the most reverse harem protagonist/hired killing machine I've seen. At least he's stopped flinching at everything right?

>>38045430
You decide that asking Cath so soon after they talked about it would be a bad idea. She also doesn’t talk very much, a word or two at most, so you doubt she’ll explain it to you anyway. Maybe you can ask Morrigan or Mary, they both seem to answer questions as long as you aren’t in trouble. Not that you’ve really been in trouble yet since they haven’t beat you, but that night with the strange lady definitely was bad.

Instead you simply wait until Cath taps you on the shoulder and nods, leading you back to the workout room. You enter and take off your shirt like you always do, turning to see Cath looking at you. She seems to be examining you closely, so you stay still. When she finally stops, she gestures towards the weights and you nod. This workout is much like all the rest, except Cath increases your weight a little bit. You’re still not anywhere near what Cath can lift, but you’re improving, being useful. By the times your workout ends, you’ve once again worked up a good sweat, Cath having done the same. You watch as she wipes sweat off her face with a towel and then nods, both of you heading upstairs to wash off. As you lead the way, you can feel Cath’s eyes on you. You wonder if you did something wrong. After changing, you start to head back downstairs, Cath also coming out of her room, Morrigan resting on the couch like she often does. You aren’t sure about this whole “People Watching” thing you’re supposed to be doing, but you think you’re supposed to do it alone. You could ask one of them though.

Two parter, you know the drill.
A.
>Go by yourself.
>Ask Morrigan to go with you.
>Ask Cath to go with you.

B.
>Just people watch on the front step, you can see the market.
>Go people watch at Doc’s there’s always people there.
>Wander around town people watching, surely there’s something you haven’t seen yet?

>>38045957
It could take years to stop. Have you never interacted with people or animals who have been abused?

In a few months it may not be a surface thought. But flinching/defensive posturing that sort of thing could take much longer to work out.

>>38046024
>>Ask Morrigan to go with you.
>Wander around town people watching, surely there’s something you haven’t seen yet?

We need Morrigan there in case strange women try to talk to us as she told us to find her if any did try to talk to us.

>>38046024
>Ask Morrigan to go with you.
>Just people watch on the front step, you can see the market.

>>38046024
>Ask Morrigan to go with you.
Morrigan to help us not look creepy.
>Go people watch at Doc’s there’s always people there.
We are to buy food and special drink from Doc this time. At the compound they beat us for staring so we need to be stealthy.

>>38046024
>>Ask Morrigan to go with you.
>Wander around town people watching, surely there’s something you haven’t seen yet?

I wanna run into that nice military guy from the compound attack.

>>38046024
Are we bad enough at this that we would regret not having binoculars or a good hiding place to watch people from (if we let ourselves be caught regretting the lack)?

>>38046076
I agree with this man! For I am lazy.

>>38046024

That would mean you got to use binoculars. Binoculars are expensive.

Also looks like you're going to wander around town with Morrigan.

>>38046024
Morrigan was the one who was worried about you talking to strange people, but you really aren’t sure what qualifies as “strange,” maybe you should ask her to go with you.

“Morrigan?” you ask, stopping before you head down the stairs.

“What Billy?” she asks, cocking her eye at you from the couch.

“I’m gonna go out like Mary said,” you reply, “Do you want to come?”

“Why the hell would I…” Morrigan stop and then sits upright before looking at you once more. “Sure,” she says, standing up and heading towards her room, “Just wait for me downstairs.”

You nod, heading downstairs and waiting for Morrigan like she said. Mary looks up from her book as you wait.

“Aren’t you going out Will?” she asks you.

You nod. “Waiting for Morrigan,” you reply.

“Morrigan?” says Mary, her eyes widening a little, “You mean she’s actually going with you?”

“You sound surprised,” says Morrigan, coming down the stairs with a new shirt on and her pistol belt.

“Most of the time I think you’re about to grow roots into the couch…” comments Mary, to which Morrigan sticks up her middle finger.

“I do what I want,” she says, turning towards the door, “Come on Billy, if we’re going to do this lets do this.”

You nod, following Morrigan outside as she first stretches her arms and then pulls out a cigarette.

“So where we going?” she asks, lighting her cigarette.

“People watching,” you say, looking around.

“People watching huh?” she says, “Let’s go then, you lead the way.”

You pause but then start walking. You aren’t used to leading, but Morrigan is right beside you so you should be ok. She can just tell you if you’re wrong.

As you wander about, you watch the people. You aren’t really sure what it’s supposed to do, but you notice some things. Like how most people try not to bump into each other, but a few stop to greet others. Morrigan doesn’t say much as you wander about, your feet eventually leading you to where you started in Fort Riley, the army post. There are no trucks, but there are a few soldiers doing exercises, being led by a man you don’t recognize. Morrigan puffs on her cigarette as you stop to watch them.

“You like soldiers?” she asks you out of nowhere.

>Yes.
>They’re ok.
>No.
>Other.

>>38046754
>Other.
I don't know?

>>38046754
>>Yes.
>>Well, one of them said I was okay.

>>38046754
>>They’re ok.
They don't shoot prisoners.

>>38046779
Supporting this.

>>38046754
>>They’re ok.
They don't shoot at you when you surrender like the men in the compound did.

>>38046779
I'll support this too.

>>38046779
Can support.

I wonder if she'll get the hint.

>>38046754
This, so much. >>38046779

I want to stun her into dropping her smoke at least once.

>>38046754
If.. we failed that roll would Morrigan have refused to go with us?

>>38046896
I don't think that'll be the one to do it.

>>38046754
>>38046779
This is good

>>38046779
this pls

>>38046931
I don't either. It's just something I want to happen.

>>38046904
Nope. They were for different things.


Also, clear winner is "They don't shoot their prisoners."

You pause for a minute before answering, thinking as you watch the soldiers finish their drill.

“They don’t shoot their prisoners,” you say.

This causes Morrigan to cough again, though this time only once as she had taken her cigarette out of her mouth before you answered.

“Damn it Billy,” she says, “One day I’m going to ask you a question and you aren’t going to do that to me.”

“Sorry,” you say, recognizing the tone of voice as the one she used the night she got upset.

“It’s fine Billy,” she says, puffing on her cigarette once more, “It’s just hard to hear things like that.”

You remain silent, watching as the soldier begin to clear out of the field.

“My dad was a soldier,” says Morrigan, watching the soldiers with you, “He’d be glad to hear you say that, that they still have honor.”

You pause, not sure if you should say anything or not, even what you should say. But before you can think of something Morrigan turns around, heading away from the army post.

“Come on Billy,” she says, “Let’s go somewhere else, I can’t stay here.”

You nod, following along beside Morrigan.

Where do you go?

>Back to MMS.
>Head to Doc’s.
>Wander some more.

You can't help them Will. You'll never be useful.

>>38047717
We got a 1 not a 20.

>>38047717
I'm all for running into Esdeath again.

>>38047748
Esdeath is a yandere so she might try to off Morrigan, that would be one worthy. Or we get into a shoot out with Revy.

>>38047749
on 1 is not good for us.

>>38047797
Esdeath is technically not good for Will. She's just good for me.

>>38047847
blue hairedand eyed yanderes are your fetish?

>>38047847
Why is Esdeath not good for Will? We don't even know her in story.

>>38047672
Is it because Billy's easier to identify with/more human than John? I kinda think he is anyway.

>>38047884
If she anything like her anime counterpart she makes Revy look nice. Tortures for fun and pleasure and is a bloodthirsty bitch in the extreme.

>>38047672
Will has more depth as a character. We're all emotionally invested in his well being and recovery.

>>38047884
We do know psycho girl. she went batshit right in front of us because Wills naive as hell and the players fell right into making him be that. Voices of reason were ignored when she told us to leave and quickly before she went insane on us.

If the team hadn't been there Wills instincts would of likely tried to kill her right there in Doc's. And then the shotgun to the face and all that since he don't like customers killing customers.

Seriously bitch be coo coo for cocopuffs. and we're a big fucking box of coco puffs to her.

>>38047884
>>38047936 This...

She literally boils dozens of people alive. She's got like a warehouse/factory dedicated to maiming people in her show. Of course she also works for Big Bad Evil Empire! So that's probably not the case here...

>>38047979
no she doesn't boil she freezes it makes the pain last longer she yelled at the guys who were boiling prisoners.

>>38047957
I think it boils down to that John is like Superman. No matter what he faces there is a 99 percent chance he will BS his way out and everone will have a good time.

Will is like Spiderman, he has problems, is more "human" and at the end of the day could wind up dead and replaced with a small african kid.

Esdeath wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for that whole 'The weak deserve to die' thing she was raised on. Then again she'd likely be nothing like the character we know then so the point is kind of irrelevant I guess.

Morrigan stops taking the lead after you get a little away from the army post, making you choose the direction again. You don’t know where exactly to go, so you just follow a random path around town. You don’t happen to see a lot of people on this route, so you don’t get to do a lot of “People Watching” but you do get a little bit more knowledge of the town.

Eventually you wander onto a different street, a large building down at the end of it. Morrigan finally looks up as she tosses away her cigarette butt, then swears under her breath.

“Fuck,” she says, grabbing your shoulder as you walk, stopping your progress several buildings from the one at the end of the street.

You look up at her, confused.

“Billy,” she says, tugging you away from the building as several strangely dressed woman look on from the porch, “Don’t ever come down here again, ok?”

“Ok?” you say, Morrigan turning you around and leading you back down the street.

“There are lots of strange women at that place,” she says in way of explanation, reaching a corner, “They’ll offer to do things for you, but they’ll want your money first, don’t ever give them any ok?”

“Ok,” you say as you turn the corner, only to be greeted by a familiar face.

“You were about to corrupt him,” says the strange lady, “You almost let him be like them!” she points her hand at a pair of men who are walking down the street, both of whom glance at you strangely.

Morrigan is slightly shocked by the woman’s appearance, as are you.

To be honest this is too many questions. Way too wordy from what we have seen of Will so far.

>>38048554
He talks a lot when he doesn't understand stuff. This is completely out of left field for him.

>>38048554
It's like two questions and a couple of statements. It's not really that much.

>>38048515
Thank you guide.

i wonder if will has ever been X-rayed cause if so the girls could try and find them and see the years of constant abuse he endured.

>>38048755
Has our shirt ever been taken off in front of them before? Surely there are scars.

>>38048862
In front of Cath when they work out, yeah. Probably what she was looking at when Will went with her earlier.

>>38048862
We take our shirt off in front of Cath all the time when we are getting /fit/.

>>38048862
>Has our shirt ever been taken off in front of them before?
That's what Cath was checking him for earlier.
>Surely there are scars.
They might have been careful. Don't want to unnecessarily worsen the work's effort.

>>38048981
Will has mentioned being beaten, it's entirely possible they never used anything sharp, just fists, clubs and feet which would def. leave internal damage.

>>38048981
The guards wouldn't care, if your not performing well enough then you get beaten, still not good enough then you get beaten harder

“Morrigan, didn’t do anything,” you say to the lady.

“Of course she did!” says the lady, turning towards you, “Why else would you be here!”

“It’s my fault,” you say, ready to take responsibility like you normally do, “I came here. Morrigan said to not come back and not talk to the ladies there.” You pause then turn to Morrigan. “Am I not supposed to talk to her?” you ask, “You said I should ask.”

Morrigan, blinks then manages to find her voice again.

“No…I’m here, it’s ok,” she says, even as the other lady stares at you.

“You’re just so perfect!” says the lady, her hands reaching out towards you only for you to step back out of her reach.

Morrigan takes a step to the side, in front of you and between you and the woman.

“The hell’s your problem bitch?” says Morrigan, “I thought you said you weren’t going to cause trouble again? Or do I need to remind you?”

The lady stops what she is doing, her gaze still largely focused on you despite Morrigan being in the way.

“I’m not going to cause any trouble,” she says, “ I just wanted to spend some time with William here.”

“The hell…” says Morrigan, “Where’d you learn his name?”

“You haven’t exactly been quiet about it,” says the woman, smiling, “especially at Docs.”

“You’ve been following us around?” asks Morrigan.

“No,” says the woman, “I just happened to catch sight of you when you left the drill field.”

“Why the hell are you so worried about him anyway?” asks Morrigan, “you don’t even know him.”

“Oh but I want to,” says the woman, smiling even more, “Which is why I have a proposition for you.”

“A proposition?” asks Morrigan, looking less than thrilled.

“Yes,” says the woman, “I want to join your little company.”

“You want to…join us?” asks Morrigan.

“Yes,” says the woman, “I want to join you. I assure you that I’m more than qualified, I can even provide my own gear. It’s a win win for everyone.”

Morrigan looks at the woman, then turns to you.

“What do you think Billy?” she asks, her voice clearly confused by the whole situation, “You’re the one who she grabbed. You think we should give her a shot?”

Guide likes adding fuel to the flames. I can not see anyway this could possibly go if she joined EVER ending okay.

She'd flat out try to rape Will at some point and actively block our efforts to socialize him or teach him anything about being a human being. I've worked too damn hard manipulating things to even give him a shot at humanity for that to happen!

>>38049448
>>No.
An all round terrible idea as long as she is fixated on Will

>>38049448
>Shrug.

>>38049448

So, looks like a shrug it is.

>>38049438
That is so bad ass I want one.

Be honest anons. How badly do you want Esdeath as part of the team?

She would be hilarious to have around. Perhaps as someone there part of the times for shinegans.

Also 61 unique posters. I am not sure if this is a record or not.

>>38049725
But I don't know how Billy will think on this.

>>38049725
i say im neutral but leaning to no because she legit scares me.

>>38049748
When you are a child soldier you quickly learn that any help in a firefight is good.

>>38049725
I would rather her not be on the team, she would just cause trouble and not work well with the team.

>>38049725
Do I like her as a character. Yes.
Do I think she would be a good waifu. High Possibility.
Do I want her to have to deal with everyday life with Will and the girls. Hell No! She will hinder Will's progression towards becoming a person, keep him "pure" and push him towards acts of "showing his power", all while undermining the other girls.

So, no I don't think I want her on the team. But damn if I don't want her.

>>38049725
I have no fucking idea who she is or who she is meant to be, and so far from this womans introduction into the quest I want nothing at all to do with her.

Stop being a metagaming faggot.

>>38049725
I'd love to have her in our team.

>>38049725
I'm remarkably neutral about it since I know this will be enjoyable regardless.

>>38049725
>But I don't know how Billy will think on this.
She is my fetish so, Yes.
Will she change how will will interact, Yes.

>>38049783
>>38049781
>>38049776
True. Having her being our stalker and show up at times would be the best use of her personality.

I hope there isn't door to door bible sales priests. I could see Billy freaking the fuck out and either trying to kill the priest or thinking hes getting sent back to a compound resulting in him breaking down crying about doing better and being useful.

>>38049789
>She is my fetish so, Yes.
Fuck off metagaming scum. Stop trying to project your fetishes on the quest and play the fucking character.

>>38049448
>…Sure?
Yesssss

>>38049777
>>38049860
If you're going to act like this YOU are the one we'd be better off without.

>>38049725
Nope nope and fuckign nope.

She'd end up trying to kill our allies because she's nuts. And purposely keep Will in the fucked up state he's in. which only invites future issues since the girls have been subtly pushing him out of the shell finally. She'd derail all of it in the attempt to keep her perfect creepy ass fetish.

>>38049942
So she is one those people you know you should not date but you can't help but like?

>>38049920
You come into this quest and try to turn it into some randumb crossover quest filled with your fetishes and characters from random animes and when you get shouted down by several anons for being stupid you attack them when they just want to play the quest as it is and not turn it into your magical realm...

>>38049952
Actually I'd put her down like a rabid dog.

I seriously don't get this fetish some anons are having she's fucking nightmare fuel.

>>38049952
>but you can't help but like?
Not at all, you can very much help it, and Will wouldn't like it anyway.

>>38049952
pretty much she's the hot chick thats fucking crazy the your mom told you not to date but did anyway because she fucks like a crazy person.

>>38049975
>I seriously don't get this fetish some anons are having she's fucking nightmare fuel.
They just see the picture of a character they fap to and think "Oh this will be so fun I love this character" and they just stop giving a shit about the actual quest and just want to fantasize and wank about wherever the character's source is from.

They should seriously look elsewhere for that instead of forcing it into this quest and shitting it up.

>>38049920
No, it is pretty damn stupid to metagame like this. This Esdeath has shown herself to be nothing short of come-in-the-van-I-have-candy creepy. I'm not sure what she's like in the show, but you have to deal with this character, who may not be a 1:1 clone. She's demonstrated possessiveness and obsession with Will, and this is bad news for everyone. She will not help anything.

She isn't "sadist with a funny vanilla fetish", she's absolutely deranged, and a lot of people aren't seeing past her character image.

>>38049942
From my impressions of her she seems quite loyal to her compatriots, though possessive of her toys.

Eh if she starts shit, lets just sneak into her room one night put a knife to her neck and warn her to leave the team alone or we'll end her.

Will ain't gonna put up with anyone fucking with these nice ladies who don't hit him and let him have nice blankets.

I'm going to say this once, like I did in HPQ.

Just because I use a character doesn't mean they'll be anything like the one they are in a show.

Just because I give them traits or take traits from their source doesn't mean they're completely like it.

I'd like all of you to take a damn deep breath, calm down and let the quest play out. I promise I've got this under control.

>>38049974
Except this is the first you've replied to me. I am neither >>38049789 nor >>38049725 . I just find you apparently needing to 'faggot' this and 'scum' that more annoying than someone admitting they're voting for something because it's their fetish when they're going to vote the way they want regardless of whatever you say.

tl;dr We're both wasting our time really.

>>38049822
I'm thinking along the lines of this anon. I like her, and I want her to show up in this quest; but I don't think she should be part of the team.

>>38050075

You just shrug at Morrigan, still slightly concerned about the lady trying to grab you, but not really knowing why she’s asking you. It’s not like you’re in charge or what you think really matters.

When you give a shrug, Morrigan sighs, her eyes on you.

Then she turns back to the woman, her face hardening.

“Billy here doesn’t care,” she says, “Which isn’t all that surprising.”

“And?” asks the woman, smiling that weird smile of hers.

“And as much as I don’t like it I need more people,” says Morrigan, you unable to see her face since you’re behind you.

“So I’m in?” asks the woman.

“No, you’re not,” says Morrigan, leaning forward and pointing her finger at the lady, “You’re on trial, a damn hard one too. You fuck up, you’re out. You piss me off, you’re out. You piss off one of my team, you’re out. I see you fucking with Will in a way I don’t like, you’re out. If I decide I just don’t like you, you’re out. If I don’t think I can fucking trust you enough, you’re especially out. If you try to stab me in the back, I’ll fucking kill you. You got that?”

“Perfectly,” says the woman, her smile reappearing, “Shall I get my things?”

“Sure,” says Morrigan, pulling out another cigarette and lighting it, “You go grab your shit. I’m going back to our place, I’m sure you know where it is.”

“I do,” says the woman, “Shall I meet you there?”

“Yeah,” says Morrigan, blowing smoke out into the woman’s face, “You do that. Last thing though, what the fuck do I call you?”
