So, then we go back to your team, and Kali’s phone call, as you pick Sato and Rei. She’s been hiding up in P-COC and she’s noticed that no one has tried to stop her and Gramps from burning the Contracts. Also, she’s been keeping tabs on the internet through her phone, and there hasn’t been any reaction to your actions. She theories that either means that Mae is stupid and blindly going forward with her plan (possible because of her ego), or that Mae doesn’t care about what happens to Tokyo and her target is something else. Also, depending on some checks, you realize that Mae’s timetable is off. Oiwa will emerge just a few brief moments before the final apex of the Hundred Nights. After 44 minutes, 44 seconds, the Kami will be able to return to Japan. That’s plenty of time to cause a lot of damage, but that purge Oiwa, and presumably Mae, wants? Not possible.

Plot or not, you still have to stop Oiwa and Mae, so it’s to the Tokyo Tower you go! You spot Mae waiting for you, so you can try and plow through her to get to Oiwa (Not the ideal way) or go with the plan you have and distract her while Rei (And whomever you want to send with her) goes to give Oiwa her pardon.

>>38256618
“I have to admit it. I was not expecting the giant robot. Well played. Across the board, actually, well done. I was so sure that there was going to be some priestess or ‘Chosen One’ that I missed. The bastards were always pulling off that nonsense. Couldn’t stand the fact that I was going to win, so the Kami would always pull a win right out of their divine asses.” Mae says to you. “Not to say that I’m pleased, but I recognize a well earned victory when I see it. Well done.” She smirks. “Not that WE were actually playing, but it’s been…challenging…to have you all run around, making a mess of things while I’m trying to work. It’s hard to play a proper Find-The-Lady con, when you have the equivalent of a hyper-active three year old, constantly flipping the table over.”

You can try and fight her, but she easily dodges. She’s obviously saving her power for something, though. If you try and talk to her, she monologues for a bit and, because she’s an egomaniac, happily reveals her plan.

She couldn’t care less about humanity, or Japan’s current cultural state. She considers the idea of being Empress to be an insult. This has all been a plot to kill Inari Okami. Actually she’s planning on killing a large number of Kami, large and small, taking all of their power, and becoming a full-on Goddess. From there she’ll use her fanatic ‘devotees’ in P-COC to spread across the globe, and slowly work to becoming the One True Goddess of Earth.

Oh my god, is this real?

Ghostmaster lives!

>>38256612
Aw, this is heartbreaking. I loved this quest.

>>38256649
If Mimiko is unbound, but not exorcised, she is summoned. If Kayako has become detached from Sachiko, she too is summoned. They’re then ‘fed’ to Oiwa. It turns out that Mae has been ‘feeding’ Oiwa power for a while, mostly through the help with P-COC and her flunkies. She’s unhappy that you’ve been taking out the other Avatars. As they would have made her job a lot easier, and ensured that Oiwa would have had enough power to take on the Kami, and be mindless enough that Mae could control her. Oiwa still has more than enough power, but Mae isn’t one to pass on a guaranteed win. That’s also what all the human death was planned to do, more fuel for the fire. Again, not necessary, but useful and there’s never a reason NOT to kill humans for Mae. As a result, the Ghostbusters have been very aggravating for her, but ultimately…you’re not going to be able to stop her.

That is, until she discovers the other thing you’ve done. Something she didn’t consider at all, Rei and her pardon. She thought that the warning that the psychic girl gave about PAGAN was in regards to them messing up her human sacrifice, something she felt was not strictly necessary, so she planned AROUND them. (Much like she did with you) As she didn’t want to tip her hand, or waste resources fighting something that wouldn’t have that big of an impact.

Well, right now your (Or rather, Rei’s) impact hits. It’s a doozy. As a result of the pardon, Oiwa suffers a schism. There’s the being of rage and hate, pumped full of power, and ready to enact vengeance upon the Gods that have let her suffer for ages. Then there’s just the tired woman who wants nothing more than to rest and pass on. This doesn’t stop Mae’s plan, the Kami are still due to arrive and when they do, Oiwa is going to blast them with everything she has. However, thanks to Oiwa conflicting with herself, it’s fairly clear that when Oiwa does blast them, it isn’t going to be enough.

>>38256667
Mae is, naturally, really pissed about this. Unfortunately, she has another card she can play. Yasuo has completely flipped to Mae’s side. No mind control, no spell, Mae’s just successfully persuaded him through talking and sex. Also, that last conversation with you about how a person has to do the ‘Right’ thing no matter the consequences, was rather helpful in his justification. If you let him talk, he’s got a speech about how the Gods, and the current administration, have failed people, and that there needs to be a change. That this is the right thing to do, and it’ll be the beginning of a new era. You’ve heard it before in a hundred bad animes, sad to say. Mae’s pretty much scrambled his brains, and contact with Oiwa has not helped.

Either way, as Rei is trying to talk to the Oiwa that wishes to Cross Over, he shows up with a knife and attacks Rei.

So, this is the big choice. Since the Kami are seconds away from Arrival. Do you attack the Savage Oiwa, Mae, or Yasuo? Mae is attacking the other GBs and bearing down on Sato with a deadly looking claw filled with black PKE energy crackling from it. Yasuo is struggling with Rei and has the knife at her throat and is starting to draw blood. And Oiwa is readying her massive PKE pulse that will certainly hurt the Kami…and also do horrible things to Yurei, who you can actually HEAR screaming in pain from within the Chyme.

I was set on making this appear to be an intentional ‘fuck you’ choice from me. This was THE no-win bit. Sato, Rei, or Yurei. Pick one, and the other two were going to die…or be obliterated in Yurei’s case.

>>38256705
The idea was to let you swing in the breeze a bit, let you argue, curse at me for a while, and say that this quest was crap. (Or knowing you guys, you’d pick one in a handful of minutes, or come up with some astoundingly genius…but risky and slightly crazed, plan to do a hat trick.) Then I’d reveal that while Mae may have HER evil plan, there was someone ELSE with their OWN plan, and they were the O.G. of Trick Plays. (The G in this case, would be God.)

Remember that PKE pulse that happened when the West Coast GBs took out a Carcossa Tower in Hawaii? Also, I briefly mentioned that you guys cause a ripple effect in Chicago when you released a bunch of souls all at once? Yeah, those weren’t weird isolated incidents. That was Enki doing a practice run for this exact moment.

You see, while your GBs are in trouble, so are all the others. Every other GB branch is in a ‘No-Win’ scenario. There’s no way out, someone is going to die, or part of the world is going to end, or some dimension is going to merge with ours. Either way, it’s a bad night for everyone.

However, Enki then makes a very very slight breeze blow in South Africa. That causes a rope, that the SA GBs had already frayed to the barest thread, to snap, which causes a totem to smash into another. This causes the equivalent of an elaborate domino effect of PKE pulses to chain and spread around the world, to the point where there’s a perfect PKE-EMP blast that knocks everything for a loop at that exact moment.

>>38256730
It also causes a change in Ishtar. It disrupts her form, and the red-haired violent sexpot disappears, and a brown haired woman, with soft curves and softer eyes is in her spot. This is Inanna. Enki’s wife, she had long ago faded and diminished to all but nothing. Ishtar, with what compassion she had, took what was left of Inanna into herself, in order to preserve her being, so that she didn’t completely vanish. That’s why Enki has always been calling Ishtar his ‘Ex-wife.’ This won’t last forever. The PKE levels will eventually go back to the way they were, and Ishtar will eventually take back control of their body. However, for a moment, the old gods get to be husband and wife again.

This was Enki’s goal from the start. Everything else was him bluffing, lying, and manipulating…specifically manipulating the forces of Evil. Getting them all to attack and BE attacked on one night that had a lunar conjunction of significance…on the Sumerian calendar. He does have great respect for the GBs, and if he DID have Ur Exorcists, he’d be proud to call the Ghostbusters the Inheritors of that title. Which in a weird way, he has. Anyway, he’s very grateful for the help, hope you all do well with those problems of yours, best of luck, the wife and he are going to need some private time. Bye!

On the plus side, Enki’s plan did knock out Oiwa’s pulse, and threw Mae for a loop and shorted out her juice. It also caused a massive flash that dazed Yasuo, but not Rei, or any of you guys. So, they’re all powerless and dazed, and YOU four have fully working equipment and all your capacities.

Bad news, that status is only going to last for about 44 seconds. Really, all the Ghostbusters around the world only got about 44 seconds of opportunity. Of course, for a Ghostbuster, that’s plenty of time.

>>38256756
So Yasuo obviously gets knocked out, and probably prolapsed. Mae gets zapped a bunch to where she’s dropped back into a defensive position, and the Evil Oiwa gets zapped a lot too. The only thing this fight settles is what form Mae will take in the finale.

At some point in the battle, probably because of a ghost roll, the Chyme will be damaged, or if you’re lucky, Yurei will succeed in her goal to help ‘free’ Good Oiwa and that’ll cause a PKE blast. Either way, Chyme’s screen will burn with a blast of white light, and then they Chyme will go completely dead. Yurei will be gone.

However, there’s no time to puzzle it out. At this point, the good Oiwa has been freed from evil Oiwa. There’s golden cherry blossoms bursting into bloom, heralding the Kami’s return, and Mae has been blasted in the face. She has no army, no Avatars, no giant skeleton, Oorochi’s not going to help her, and absolutely the worst of it all is that it’s all thanks to a Forgotten God, and a bunch of powerless mortals. So, like all egomaniacs who discover that they can’t win, she tries to kick over the board.

In this case, she grabs the rapidly diminishing entity of Oiwa’s Rage and fuses it with herself, and retreats into the Spirit World. She plans to do a kamikaze run on the Ghostbuster Containment Grid. Since, now that GB is a globally linked system, it’ll set off a chain reaction all around the world. It will be bad. Also, while it will kill her current body, and probably disperse her spirit, THAT much chaos and confusion guarantees that she’ll be reborn in a decade, at the latest.

Of course, Good Oiwa is able to hold the rift open, and you all dive through it, cause you’re Ghostbusters.

>>38256790
Mae, in her Rage State, is willing to kill you first, before she destroys your work, then she plans on devouring you as you scream. (You can point out the flaws of that plan, but Mae’s not exactly on a 1-to-1 connection with logical thinking at this point.) So she’ll fight you, but Mae’s not stupid. You guys aren’t 100% inside the Spirit World. Rather you’re in this kind of nebulous state that’s phasing in and out of the real world and back into the Ghost world. So you can’t cross the streams, not without risking a protonic reversal occurring in Earth.

If, at the tower, you hurt Mae out more, she’s a giant nine-tailed demon fox and Akira and Star make Naruto jokes, if you hurt Oiwa more, she’s more human in shape and Akira and Star make jokes about Dynasty Warriors.

As you fight her, she gets more and more warped, and more and more powerful. That’s when Star figures it out. Mae is drawing more and more power from Oiwa, her own being, and anywhere else she can leech power from, in order to ‘Create a world where she can beat us!’
“How is that different from now?!” Sato asks.

“No…no, I get it!” Akira says. “It’s not enough for Mae at this point to live in a world where we COULD beat her. She’s such a mindless, crazed, piece of evil and ego that she has to have it be a world where we NEVER could have won. She wants a world where she NEVER loses.” He’s grinning like a mad man.”

Sato gets it at this point. “Oh! And that’s exactly what we WANT to happen!”

If you guys got it, great and that would have given you a re-roll for one ghost roll, if not, I was happy to spell it out for you. If Mae uses all her power, she will create her own little spirit world where she’s always right, and she always wins. That would be a pocket universe, that’s separate from both the Spirit World, AND the Real World…and the thing about protonic reversals is that they just ARE. They don’t CARE about rules and probability.

>>38256819
So you goad and blast, stasis, and slime, Mae into creating her own perfect world. A world of just Japan, where she is a perfect Goddess and reigns forever…and then you blow it up and her with it. Destroying Tammamo-No-Mae once, for all, and for good. The blast sends your human bodies (which happened to be carrying your souls) back into the real world.

You sit up and are being hugged, and bandaged, by your sister, Kaede. Rin is kissing Sato. Star is drinking soda with Rini, Reika, Sachiko, and Kali. Akira’s getting bandaged by Sana, and he’s staring at the broken Chyme. Kuzu, Gramps, the Rabbits, and a bunch of PAGANs are there as well, they look ready to make a last stand/rescue party.

Kuzu took ‘the fast way’ back home, when you guys turned the tables, and gathered up the rest of the crew.

“I never miss a victory party.” Kuzu says. “Also, I think helping you put me in Mother’s good books. It’s nice to have her owe ME a favor, for once.” She nods behind you. You turn and see the back of a woman who looks like Kuzu. Only her hair, ears, and tails are all pure white, and she has nine tails. She’s holding a young woman by the arm. She’s helping her walk towards something. They pause and they turn to look at you. Oiwa’s face is in one piece, and she’s smiling. She waves at you, a small grateful wave. Inari Okami gives you a grateful nod of their head, and they turn away from you and walk towards the rising sun. There’s a flash and they’re gone.

“So…” Star says with a grin. “Party at our place?”

“More like the party STARTS at your place.” Kali says, as she puts on her sunglasses and gets into the shade of YOMI-1. She thumps the radio and it starts playing that familiar song.

>>38256843
EPILOGUE

The events of the night have been completely re-written. What happened was a nasty set of protests that got ugly when some anarchists came to cause trouble. They vandalized, did reckless driving, and even managed to move the Gundam statue. Thankfully, Rei has been recognized at the big hero of the evening. PAGAN was mobilized to quiet the more rowdy protesting, helped authorities stop the bad eggs, and even aided the Emperor’s viewing party. She has been honored and considered to be a fine example of what a person with ‘Imperial Blood’ should be. She’s used that good publicity quite well, and now is a local politician with a nice amount of clout.

PAGAN is now a respected group…however, that’s kind of caused a schism with the rest of PAGAN now. Seeing as Rei has taken umbrage with some of the demands that the American and European branches have asked of her. Rei severed ties with them, but is urging her followers to stay. So far they have…although no one has figured out a good word that represents their interests that they can make into a semi-plausible acronym that hasn’t been used yet.

P-COC, however, got the blame as the cause of the protests that got ugly. Half their staff has vanished overnight, and people who remain are completely unaware of any sort of structure or sense of leadership. Walter Peck has officially denounced the branch and plans to completely overhaul the branch.

Kuzu and Kaede left to go on their world tour, and they took Kali along with her. (Since P-COC Japan is in shambles, no one noticed her missing) They had the BEST time, and Kuzu and Kali are total gal pals.

Yasuo ended up a disgraced janitor. However, he’s never become a Train Delay. He’s rather zen about it. He attributes it to ‘the wise counsel of my sister, whom I talk to every night.’ People think he’s creepy.

Gramps mostly stays in his coffin these days, now that his ‘hellion niece’ has found someone else to look after her.

>>38256923
The Vagabond Trio managed to con their way into Ikki, the Rokuro Kubi’s, elite temple residence. There they get to live out the rest of their days harmlessly pranking tourists for the amusement of the youkai that live there.

Your parents are still together, your grandmothers are still alive. They’re all still miserable. You’re sad that they don’t even seem to be trying to break Kuzu’s curse, but some people are like that.

You never hear another word from the Oni Yakuza or Oorochi’s Yakuza. Reika’s earned life debt is enough to ensure peace. You kind of like it that way.

The kitsune, tanuki, and other yokai that were working with Mae haven’t been seen in Tokyo at all. They either went to ground, or the Kami made their return, and displeasure, known. Either way, they haven’t bothered anyone.

A small side, note, that Aluraune you guys let free? You heard world of her being seen in Ukraine, being very surly and unpleasant, but not violent. A year after that, you heard that she had dropped off the radar completely, that was about when Russia started to move in, so…odds aren’t good that story ended well for the Mulch Girl.

The Sanctuary is a big success for the ‘middle class’ yokai who want to settle down in the city but don’t want to give up everything about themselves. Rini’s family does well, and while it’s just a small section of the yokai of Japan, it’s a place where they live in peace with Humanity. The Koreans love them, same with Miyagi’s, they end up expanding too.

As a result, the Reject Zone, it’s now Yokai Corners. Mostly because of the large archeology building and their funny way of decorating it with murals of yokai, not to mention the venerable temple, and a certain business.

Speaking of that temple, it is run by a respected priestess. Priestess Sachiko is now taking on apprentices. They all hate/fear/adore her. They also all shoot arrows into your sign. “Tradition and good luck!” Sachiko claims.

Where the hell is bestghost?

Cuz I'm pretty sure we'd all be happy to jump into whatever hellverse we need to rescue Yurei.

>>38256985
Sana finally got her big break. She was a member of the cyborg-heroine-squad in a comedy/horror movie. She was the best thing in the film. The critics specifically noticed her, and said that ‘They really believed that this was a girl who could shove a chainsaw into a demon queen’s thorax.’ Sana’s now getting regular work. Sadly, no starring roles, but she’s a regular guest on a prime-time soap, and lots of ‘Also starring’ and ‘And including’ roles. She’s in talks to be in American movies too. Horror Otaku worship her.

Reika continues to work as a nurse. She actually works within Sanctuary. That medical center that was half-built? It’s been finished and she pretty much moved her entire clinic into there. It’s very nice and she’s quite content to be working there. Even if the patients can be a little weird on occasion.

As for Ghostbusters: Japan, Rei made it clear that you were vital in helping her and PAGAN save the day on that wild and confusing night. Not to mention that the internet LOVED you settling the Gundam vs. Titan argument. So, business was great AND you were beloved. Life was sweet. However…after the Big Night, the Twinkie of Tokyo began to reduce in size from it’s epic proportion back to Twinkie size. Which was good for a lot of reasons, but not that great for business. You went from a job a day, to a job a week, then a job a month, and then three whole months went by and there wasn’t a single call. By then Sana was shooting her movie, and you all thought that it was time to find secondary jobs, and possibly different housing.

So, you haven’t done any Ghostbusting for a long time now.

>>38257024
Star got into managing the day to day of Sanctuary. Seeing as she was seen as a natural go-between for Yokai who didn’t want to talk to humans, and visa-versa. After a while, she was spending more time there than at the dumpling factory. She got an apartment to herself, and people just started referring to her as the superintendent. These days, it’s official. She has paperwork with her name on it, and is one of the cornerstones of Yokai Corner. She’s also dating the son of the Koreans. He’s a little young, but you can tell he’s nuts for her, and Star really cares for him.

Sato is working with his wife, Rei. She stands there, the living embodiment of the power of the Emperor’s blood, and he’s right behind her showing how he stands united in the strength of armor of the throne that she powers…or something like that. They live in Yokai Corner. In a nice house, and you regularly go there for dinner. You also attend the meetings there with Star, and Sachiko. There you all try to help Yokai Corner keep up with the times…or rather the three girls make plans, and you and Sato drink beer in the backyard.

Akira, served as the last sentinel. Just like Dr. Spengler before, he remained in the Dumpling Factory. Someone had to watch the phone, and someone had to watch the containment unit. The sign needed to be cleaned, and well…there had to be a ghostbuster. TO his credit, he didn’t just dwell in the place like a hermit. He’s a part of Yokai Corner’s community, visits you guys, comes to dinners, and he manages the business. Mostly it’s selling merchandise, and he’ll do birthday parties. He also is the guy who will happily go into children’s room and check the closets and under the futons or beds for monsters. (For reasonable rates) You just feel bad knowing that he’s living there in the Dumpling Factory, alone. He never threw out the busted Chyme.

Don't the ghost busters ever learn?

That's just the quiet before the next storm.

>>38257061
As for you, Hasutora Daisuke, you caved into your sister’s endless harassment and completed your medical degree. You also opened up your own private practice. In Yokai Corner. Remember how Reika moved her little rinky-dink clinic into the nice medical center that took up the entire floor of Sanctuary? Well, she moved in a doctor as well. Reika’s your nurse. You even wrote a medical book on yokai physiology, aliments, and how to treat them. It sold surprising well for a medical journal…mostly because people thought it was fictional. You are a respected, and well-liked, man in Yokai Corner. Also…regarding you and late night check-ups with either Sana, Sachiko, or Reika and her…bandages…well…that’s something I’d leave up to you.

Anyway, Kaede has just returned from her latest trip, and this time she’s planning on staying in Japan for a while. Kuzu wants some alone time with her kits, and Kali’s burnt out and plans on taking a nap for a year or two. So, you’re having a welcome home dinner for Kaede at the Dumpling Factory. Not a big party, just you, Sis, Sato, Akira, and Star. The dinner hasn’t gone perfectly smoothly. There’s a screaming match, just outside the door. One of Rei’s PAGANs and Sachiko’s Acolytes, they’re sisters. This is NOT something that’s uncommon…you’re pretty sure Rei and Sachiko are taking bets on which one will kill the other first. However, that’s just life in Yokai Corner, and it’s a good life with your friends, your community, and now your family, all in one place.

Then the PKE blast happens.

“Was that us?” Sato asks.

“The containment unit’s fine.” Akira says.

“What ever it was, it happened out there…Shibuya or Akihabara.” Star says, looking at the instruments.

The phone starts to ring. You rise up, trying to ignore the ache in your leg…but a younger hand is put on your shoulder. Your sister grins at you and you know you can’t say no to her.

>>38257146
“I got this, D.” She says with a grin. She gets up and throws open the door to the PAGAN and Acolyte sisters who are still arguing. “OI!” She shouts. “You two! Shut up, and suit up! Come on!”

The girls blink and mutely follow your sister to the changing room.

You hear the other three GBs argue for a moment, and then hear a male chuckle. You turn and see Enki, sitting at the table next to you.

“And they’ll pick up a new member too…all girls this time? That should be fun to see!” He laughs. “Anyway, I’m here to give you a ‘Happy Re-Opening’ gift, and my best wishes.” Enki slides something across the table. You look down at it. It’s a brand new Chyme. You look up and he’s gone.

You pick it up, and there’s a text burst of 1’s and 0’s again. They’ll spell out, ‘Remember Fury? He sent her back.’

“You three are NOT taking my YOMI-1!” Akira shouts.

“Oh yes they are!” Kureia says, grabbing her fiancee’s ear. “You are NOT going to skip out on another planning session. I don’t CARE if the world is ending it’s NOT happening before OUR WEDDING!”

“Yes dear…can I at least get the equipment out of storage?” He asks.

“Of course, and I’ll help too.” She says. “Heavens know I watched Sana do this enough.” You smile, and shake your head as Kureia sits down at the reception desk and answers the phone.

>>38257176
Who’s Kureia you ask? Why she’s been your guys’ biggest fan/cheerleader since the beginning. She’s also been head-over-tails in love with Akira since the beginning as well. You met that same first day you met Sato, remember? Songbird Karaoke. She was being attacked by those karaoke ghost girls, you and Sato got your asses handed to you, and Akira banged through the door and saved the day. She’s been helping out as an unpaid intern ever since, and during the Big Night, before Akira dove into the rift to fight Oiwa-Mae he told Kureia that he loved her. (Which was a ‘Finally!’ moment for the rest of you.) Anyway, they’ve been engaged for a while now. Kureia is planning the world’s biggest wedding…or at least as impressive as Yokai Corner can make it. At the moment, she’s keeping Akira from doing anything stupid and has turned the Dumpling Factory into a Ghostbuster-themed Karaoke parlor. (You know, just to make sure that the business stays afloat…and nothing about how she’s the Karaoke Queen of Yokai Corner now.)

That’s how it’s always been…right?

Either way, you can’t help but smile as you watch YOMI-1 tear off into the night, siren wailing. Your sister in a jumpsuit, neutrino wand ready, and very much afraid of no ghost.

THE END

For the record, I wrote the all-female Gen 2 GB:J team ending back in November.

Anyway, that’s how Ghostbusters: Japan ends. I’m sorry I lost the availability to run it, but things changed and I couldn’t do it. I’m sure that you guys would have warped that outline of what I planned to happen WAY out of line in certain areas and I’ll have had to reshape the ending. However, that was what I had planned. Now at least, you get to know how I would have ended the story.

>>38257208
Oh -hell- yes. Enki best god. I was about to flip the fuck out over Yure- Kureia.

All sounds good, GhostMaster. Good to see you're alright. Whenever a quest just disappears, I always fear the worst.

Maybe when you find time again, you could try another quest. Maybe even about Gen 2 GB:J, but we'd probably do better with a different idea.

>>38257208
>Who’s Kureia you ask? Why she’s been your guys’ biggest fan/cheerleader since the beginning. She’s also been head-over-tails in love with Akira since the beginning as well.

Eh. I really wish you built that up half as much as you did the whole Yurei Akira thing, because this really feels waaay out of the blue. You built up the Yurei/Akira thing significantly, or at least alluded to the fans desires, but you didnt' even mention her name until today

On another note, it's just so good to get so much resolution for this quest. I'm sure over the next few days people are gonna trickle in and see this, so I hope you stick around for your fans.

I know I'm going to have a ton of questions.

>>38257338
>>38257315
Ok, wait, am I just being retarded or something? Because when I read that, I assume Enki and Fury pulled some shit, and now Yurei is alive and her real name is Kureia, and the timeline/our memories have been ever so slightly tweaked so that we think that's the way it's always been.

I'm not so good with subtlety sometimes.

>>38257505
Is- is that really it? I didn't read that at all, so kudos on you if that's the case.

I. . .don't really know what to feel about that. I just doesn't feel right, tweaking our memories and the timeline. Like, can we even call them the same person at that point that we all knew and loved? Sure you can say their personalities are the same, but we don't even know anything about her.

Some Starter Questions, probably not the best, but what came to mind.

What would the "Worst End" scenario world be like, what would Mae do with the planet after she kills Inari and doomsday is done? What of the gods of other religions (if you want to touch that).

What would a world with a lot of dead Kami be like, presuming no "worst case" and Mae/Oiwa was somehow defeated?

Did the GB ever solve the problem of the globally linked Containment units? Because not only is it kind of dangerous your prisoners can organize themselves around the world, but that the Containment unit itself can be attacked from inside spirit world.

Whatever happened to our three little friends we rescued from the sewers, they still enjoying their existence?

Did we ever see anything about "spirit" of the Yomi-1? Nothing a whole episodes worth, but like, maybe it lending us a hand behind the scenes and GB never noticed.

I am content with this ending.

Thank you for bringing it to us.

>>38257662
It is significantly better than no ending, and I entirely agree with this post.

>>38257575
Considering the 'That's who it's always been... right?' part, you can probably take it as 'we know what's really up, but we keep our god damn mouth shut so no other kami try and 'correct' it.

That's how I chose to see it, anyway.

>>38257575
But we always knew about her. She's Yurei. We just know a bit more now. I really wish Yurei and Akira would have had a date. To bad we ran out of time. And she got what she fucking deserves, a real life.

I was going to give GM shit if he didn't pull something like this.

As one of the people who is more then happy to change the flow of things, I wish we could have ruined your plans. And got info on giving Enki's wife something more permanent.

Such is life.

>>38257791
>>38257208
Oh and get a fucking twitter if you're going to run quests.

>>38257208
Thanks for the ending, Ghostmaster!

I'm sorry you couldn't do the quest anymore.

>>38257648
Also did we ever get our gameshow dvd and t-shirt?

>>38257700
That is both sweet and morbidly depressing at the same time. It kinda fits GB Japan.

But it could be a lot worse I guess, and if the other GB's are aware of it but keep the secret for Akira/Yurei's sake I guess that's fine.

>>38257791
This is a touchy subject from a player/narrative perspective.

Does Kurei have the same memories as Yurei or not? Can we really even say they are "the same"?

Consider the Daisuke from the timeline where he didn't join the GB and the Daisuke from our timeline. Yes, you can say their personalities are the same, or that they are "the same person" but just the fact that their lives took a different turn at one point in life changes everything.

The Daisuke from the other life never wrestled a karoeke ghost with a machine he knew nothing about, or survived a gameshow with his friends, or even just made that relationship with the other GB. There's just so much that could change the "same person" if you tweak a timeline to where it's hard to really call them the same.

>>38257903
And the second performance. We promised.

>>38257648
>What would the "Worst End" scenario world be like, what would Mae do with the planet after she kills Inari and doomsday is done?
Funny thing, is you would SEE that for a moment in Oiwa-Mae's perfect world. It's not pretty. There's no culture, no difference, no variety, there's just her. A world that has no opinion but 'Adulate this one perfect being for all time.' Think all of those horrible 'bad heaven' strawmen things with everyone bowing to one thing and singing hosannahs to them. Like that, but worse.

>What would a world with a lot of dead Kami be like, presuming no "worst case" and Mae/Oiwa was somehow defeated?
Okay, so Mae kills a bunch of Kami, but you guys pull out a win? You wouldn't notice a BIG change, but if you knew where to look, you'd see the craters. Certain shrines would slowly stop receiving visitors and go empty, people would stop going to certain places. You'd see large 'dead zones' in Japan, where there's little 'life' just 'stuff.' Slowly, and eventually life would return to them, but other surviving Kami would take over so it would be different in nature. Or the Kami that were 'born' in America would reclaim it, so it would go back to the way it was...but it would feel VERY 'touristy' or be a popular spot for Americans.

>Did the GB ever solve the problem of the globally linked Containment units?
Yes. The Containment Unit worlds got a shake-up as Central and Extreme did a little house cleaning. It now looks completely different, again. Also a lot of the more penitent ghosts are in 'better' quarters.

>Whatever happened to our three little friends we rescued from the sewers, they still enjoying their existence?

They're the Vagabond Trio I mentioned here >>38256985


>Did we ever see anything about "spirit" of the Yomi-1?

No. Never planned anything about that. YOMI-1's part of the team...but she's a van.

>>38257575
>Is- is that really it?
Yup, Kureia is Yurei. Fury was sent back in time and kept her from killing herself.

>>38257903
>Also did we ever get our gameshow dvd and t-shirt?

Nope, bastard screwed ya! Although odds are good that you'll be seeing your sister on the same show.

>>38257940
>Yup, Kureia is Yurei. Fury was sent back in time and kept her from killing herself.
How does that affect the timeline? If she never died, and never became a ghost Yurei or locked in that Chyme, did any of that still happen? Did Akira never Chyme and the Ghostbusters never had their ghost friend?

>>38258063
I chose to believe we all have both sets of memories.

And GhostMaster, you better confirm it, otherwise there will be a lot of hurt feelings over 'it's not really her'.

>>38258080
>I chose to believe we all have both sets of memories.
That seems best.

Kureia knows and remembers being a ghost, and everyone recognizes the clear and distinct paradox, but that would certainly make her "Yurei", the one we knew.

>>38257940
Do the original GB:J ever team up with the new kids and show them how to properly wreck an entire city block on the job?

>>38257940
>Also a lot of the more penitent ghosts are in 'better' quarters.
So the wardens of the prison finally started showing some responsibility and protecting the informants from the general population, then.

>Russian invasion of Ukraine results in extermination of all supernaturals there
So is Russia the Supernatural ISIS of this world?
Putin has Stalin-era Purge policies in place for any supernaturals within the Russian sphere of influence?

>>38257903
Someone spiked the time line and we're fine with it. It's a win my mind. We'd have corrected that shit if it wasn't, because we're not afraid of no ghost. Yurei is alive and with Akira and I'd like to think Enki had his hand in it.

>>38257208
One little spike I had planned was to talk with Oiwa directly. Vengeance on the gods is nothing compared to saving the world and having the gods having to bow to her Karma.

>>38258116
We all have both sets of memories, so Yurei is Yurei is Kureia, it is really her, there's no hurt feelings and no dissonance.

And we all keep our mouths shut about it so no kami tries and 'corrects' the situation.

>>38258137
Of course. If we don't show the kids how to wrack up dozens of tickets and fines in one night, we ain't worthy of the title of Ghost Buster.

>>38258063
Ah, the timeline question. The answer is this: Enki is cheating.

Everyone REMEMBERS the Kureia Timeline.

What HAPPENED was the Yurei Timeline.

If there's a point in history where the two conflict? For example, the times where Yurei's ghost abilities were necessary, and couldn't be explained as Kureia doing something else. Your memory goes foggy, and you just remember being there, and Kureia was there, and...you're not quite sure how that happened, maybe you should ask Sato if he remembers, any way you DO remember what happened next...

Yes, it's playing fast and loose with time and human brains. Yes, the Kami CAN step in a 'correct' things to one way or the other if they so wished.

HOWEVER: 1) It's not really harming anything, or is all that important. 2) The Kami owe Enki, and you, for saving their asses.

So they're choosing to ignore it. Everything works well now, so why make a fuss?

>>38258194
>>38258157
>>38258275
Yeah, I can settle for that. Glad that cleared things up.

>>38258275
Do we still hang out with Yasuo? I always liked that guy, and to see him get the Dishonored Janitor ending makes me sad.
I hope he and Daisuke are at least drinking buddies.

>>38258275
Thanks for giving us a very optimistic idea of how things would have ended, and good luck with whatever you're doing in the future.

I'm okay with this.

>>38258275
>Everyone REMEMBERS the Kureia Timeline.
>What HAPPENED was the Yurei Timeline.

I think you switched that. What happened was the Kureia timeilne, since she's alive and well, but we remember the Yurei timeline which didn't happen since she never died.

>>38258354
Probably not. Too crazy.

>>38258154
>Putin has Stalin-era Purge policies in place for any supernaturals within the Russian sphere of influence?

Yup. I said this a few times. According to Kali, the most believed story is that Putin had a bad run-in with the Supernatural during his KGB days. As a result, Russia has been very quiet, and Baba Yaga has been in the Ukraine for a long time...and she just left for different shores as well. Of course, she'll rip your face off if you so much as suggest that she's AFRAID. She just, doesn't care for the air in that area...too smoggy.

>>38258354
Yeah, that sucks for him. Mae twisted him, but it wasn't a 'bad' ending, just penance to himself. But I have a feeling his story isn't over. There's the sequel to consider.

>>38258434
Was there any plans for the Baba Yaga to show up in Japan?

>>38258402
>>38258450
Funny thing is, it's kind of our fault. As we predicted, our little speech about " ‘Right’ thing no matter the consequences" did convince him to flip.

But regardless, what we said is still true. Sometimes, even if bad things happen, you have to do the right thing for the greater good.

I pity they'll never reminisce about all of Yurei's exploits this, but she's with Akira and alive it all works out.

But who's going to be the GBJ's new mascot ghost?

>>38258434
Is it just gulags, or did Putin go full-on Auschwitz in regards to supernaturals?
Do human supremacist groups get invitations or encouraged to emigrate to Russia?

>>38258480
Nah. It was just a fun bit of world building for me. I needed a reason why Kali didn't go to China after tiring of America/Europe. So I made China a 'Join or Die' scenario that she wanted to avoid, and as for making Russia worse...it just felt right.

Although, I think Kaede might have a good chance of running into her. I'm sure she'll do fine. She had to deal with the Grandsmothers. There's only ONE Baba Yaga.

Did we ever visit New York?

Did we ever get any recognition from the Emperor?

>>38258489
Life is a constant journey, his isn't over. He was in a dark place and didn't know which way was what.

>>38258662
Hopefully it's not too late for him to find his Kareoke Ghost busting moment and a new path in life.

Not even that, the army just hunts them down and shoots them. They don't chase, they don't threaten, they just show up in the middle of the night/day, execute the targets, and leave. This is Russia. They don't fuck around.

>Do human supremacist groups get invitations or encouraged to emigrate to Russia?
No. They're assholes. Also, they tend to 1) Attract deviants themselves or 2) Show deviancy themselves. Again, this is not a 'Thing' this is just a FACT. If you are a supernatural being in Russia, eventually, someone (or multiple someones) will come into where you live and shoot you until you don't get back up. If you don't want that to happen to you, LEAVE.

Most left!

>>38258728
Okay, better question:
Was Putin's invasions of Georgia, the Crimean, and Ukraine motivated by a desire to exterminate all supernaturals, and a desire to rebuild the Soviet Union and Russian patriotism were only second to purging the supernatural?

>>38258765
The moral of the story:
Fuck you Enki for making our heads hurt. We're not even on your side of the 4th wall

>>38258621
>Did we ever visit New York?
Well, not as 'Ghostbusters,' and not all four of you at once. But when you did visit New York, you did visit Central. You met Slimer, and talked shop, and when Rei and Sato visited THEY had something crazy happen, but there wasn't a big 'GB:J In the Big Apple' bit.

>Did we ever get any recognition from the Emperor?
You were honored in the same way that Rei's PAGANs were. He bowed to you and you returned the bow. Then he moved to the next person in line. Sato actually 'met' met the Emperor when he married Rei. But again, Rei's not that close of a relative, so it isn't like they have brunch at the Imperial Palace.

>>38258871
I hope we had enough english to chat it up with Vigo's painting.

>>38258827
Maybe the supernatural Putin meet was Baba Yaga. Maybe it was a convenient power-grab during the conjunction. Maybe both.

But whatever is going on in Russia, belief has a weight. Whatever Supernaturals are being created there, they aren't nice.

Let's see. Time for the big question that, hopefully, should not have an official answer.

Yurei/Kureia did end up with Akira
Sato got Rei

Daisuke now has a choice of:
Siachiko
Sana
Reiko

Let's let out all our feelings on this in a nice civil manner while we can.

>>38258827

>>No Peoplebuster's Japan cameo helping us stop Oiwa from creating a hell for both worlds at the last final battle

That DOES sound like something I would have thrown at you guys if things went WAY off the rails.

I had a few delay encounters set if you had pulled things way far off track. One was you'd have to confront the enraged spirits of the 12 people that died because of your actions.

>>38258998
>One was you'd have to confront the enraged spirits of the 12 people that died because of your actions.
No Regrets. No Remorse. If I had a choice, I'd do it all over again. Maybe this time, you'll stay dead.

>>38258998
I thought the idea of bringing in youkai personnel to P-COC was a good idea. They're Japanese citizens, this way they pay their taxes, and it makes P-COC a properly representative regulatory body.

Maybe this time Peck will staff it with dog youkai. All you need to keep them happy is some headpats, tummy rubs, bacon, and the occasional "Good boy".

Which reminds me, what happened with the registered priests, priestesses, and other assorted exorcists?

>>38259029
Yeah, that's easy thing to say to the suicides. But what about the wife and two kids, who were murdered by their husband/father in a murder/suicide?

You going to say that you don't feel guilty about them?

Also, don't try the 'He's the one that killed you' card. It isn't going to fly. He loved them, and he killed them because he didn't want to see them suffer when his destroyed life destroyed them. They still love their father/husband.

>>38258998
Do you think any of the Pagan "elite's" we trained to hold and fire a proton pack would be good candidates for the next generation of GBJ?

What happened to little psyker/prophet girl and her family?

>>38259114
>Which reminds me, what happened with the registered priests, priestesses, and other assorted exorcists?

They got official letters of apology from P-COC, a few got compensation, and they went on with their lives. This was just a 'weird day' for them.

>>38259118
I guess then we rely on our IC/OOC devotion to Utilitarianism. Again, sometimes we need to do the right thing even if there are bad consequences. Doing a few bad things, horrible things, but for the sake of the greater good.

So yes, we don't like it, we wish it didn't have to be that way, but we would in a heart beat do it again.

>>38259120
>What happened to little psyker/prophet girl and her family?

You should ask Kaede about her actually. Or maybe you shouldn't. Your sister launches into foreign profanity when you bring her up.

>>38259118
Nope. No regrets. They're just unfortunate collateral damage to doing what needed to be done.

>>38259188
Actually, on that...I yield my Quest License to any who wish it.

If you want to do GB:J Gen. 2 quest?

Go for it.

>>38259114
Personally I'm still a favor of separationism, ghosts in the ghost world, the living in the living world. But as per GB policy, we leave the quiet ones alone, so we may as well cooperate while they are here. Youkai in the PCOC might be a good step toward that.

>>38259185
>>38259193
Buddhism would actually let us play the "Blame the Victim" card here, by saying "Maybe if your karma was better, this wouldn't have happened. Obviously you staying within this realm of existence is causing your karma to drop like a rock and a sign of your bad karma. At this rate, your reincarnation is going to be worse than this past life."

>>38259229
I highly doubt there are any in the world who would ever do it an amount of justice.

By the way, if someday far in the future you were to run another quest, what would it be?

>>38259255
It's kind of hard to explain how a young child killed by his father incured that amount of Karma to be murdered violently.

>>38259243
>ghosts in the ghost world, the living in the living world
That's fine for ghosts, but we're talking about youkai here. They're biological entities with certain PKE manipulating abilities.
They ARE living, and they are part of the living world.
If you're going to implement segregation, it would have to be based on species, and at that point you're supporting the human supremacist agenda.

>>38259294
But the ghostbusters have also sent psuedo living and biological entities to the spirit world (or eliminated them) as well on numerous occasions.

They're part of both worlds on my book, but this is the side they want to stay on and they're being damn good decent about, so why not.

>>38259341
They can also be isolated in our world too if they get testy, like the time they diverted flowing rivers around a town of killer Vampires and Werewolves preventing either of them from leaving their village.

they did vaporize a bunch of them before that tho

>>38259255
We shouldn't be a dick about it. Do they feel, at this moment, getting revenge is more important then what Mae is doing to Japan? Their Karena is fine, but...what if they don't stop her. We thought she wanted to conquer the world, and we could use that fact to say it was specific peoples' fault, not just ours. Those who started the corruption, for example.

>Ghostbusters: Japan Quest!
YES!
>The Ending
YEEEEES!

NOOOOO

Also, GhostMaster, what happened to Akira's brother?! Did we launch a rescue mission? Did we save the other children? COME ON!

>>38258157
That would probably have done a little something to that bitterness, I hope.
>>38258765
>>38258835
If you think about it too much, then reality will notice and try to correct the problem.
>>38259255
We could always tell the truth; we saw a great wrong and we did not keep silent about it. We didn't think that things would go QUITE so far as muder/suicides, but it DID happen and we are sorry that we have caused them trouble, but we would have done it again even if we had known because living a lie does no one any good.

>>38259422
Maybe we shouldn't, but we'd probably be a dick about it anyway because on the one they're trying to kill us, on the other they're hostile ghosts and we're ghostbusters.

As for shifting the blame, blame is like a long string that never ends. Yeah, you can point to whoever held it last, but they have their own excuses on why they acted they way they did and it just keeps going.

>>38259229
As much as we'd love to, doing it justice isn't in us for now. Keep doing stuff and let your life become less hectic on it's own.

>>38259455
>we would have done it again even if we had known because living a lie does no one any good.
That's highly ironic considering you're previous support of ignoring the time paradox going on

>>38259455
>Also, GhostMaster, what happened to Akira's brother?!
We never let that asshole out of the Containment unit right? And he might have known about Akira's brother?

We probably extracted his ass and squeezed the info out of him one way or another.

>>38259455
>because living a lie does no one any good.
That's not very Japanese, and is unlikely to go over well with someone who isn't a non-comformist, individualistic, tradition-breaker.

In short, unlikely to sway the average Japanese person. Especially one that was killed because you couldn't keep your damn mouth shut and be an obedient member of society.

>>38259285
>By the way, if someday far in the future you were to run another quest, what would it be?

Oof. Doing 1.75 quests in my life has made me realize that I do NOT have time in my life to do Quests, even though I like them. (This is the .75.)

I'd think I'd like to run a quest where there's a Secret Hidden world...and suddenly they discover that there's OTHER Secret Hidden world.

A world of Mages and Mystics fighting Elder Gods and their Cults suddenly discovering that there's a cabal of cyborg-transhuman refugees from the future fighting against an Alien Nanite Swarm and their Servitors.

The real fun happens when the bad guys discover each other and find that they REALLY hate each other.

Something like that. No doubt it's been done before by others.

And there's only one way to convince the furiously adamant conformist and traditionalist Japanese person. Kicking ass, taking names, and copious amounts of NUCLEAR ENERGY

In the end, maybe Daisuke really was a gaijin or a rebel, but it all worked out in the end.

>>38259546
In short, they believe they are right because they supported society and died for it, and we're wrong. So it's pretty fucked up.

>>38259542
I'd like to think that we put pressure on Central to get the notes on supernaturals and how to torture them from the files of Unit 731, and we implemented every single atrocity that the Imperial Japanese Army was capable of on that little troll.
Just weeks of doing things that hadn't been done since the heights of Japanese war crimes. Of reminding him of what kind of brutality the Japanese are really capable of, what was burnt out the Japanese people by nuclear fire and can be easily rekindled with the right motivation.

>>38259455
>what happened to Akira's brother?
Nothing. Remember, AKIRA was the kid who was taken under the bed. He escaped.

And yes, Central and Extreme kicked the Grundel's ass again and used some...methods...to get the locations and names of the Stolen Children out of him.

Then they kicked his ass again.

The kids are safe.

>>38259683
That's efficient, yes, but it doesn't let us make sure that the Grundle, and others like him, know that we can make them hurt while they're inmates in our prison.

And I'm sure that the Unit 731 notes would have helped build such a device.

>>38259518
Well, she was dead, now she is not and she has never been dead. Vehk was a man, then he was a god and was ALWAYS a god.
>>38259542
We didn't let him out, no. Everyone had a collective bout of sanity on that point, thankfully. And I bet that maybe the Ghostbusters are owed a few favors so we wouldn't NEED the Grundle's information.
>>38259546
>>38259618
>>38259629
There's no easy answer. When you get right down to it, society is a very strange, tangled, and messed up thing. Nothing we say could ever make it better, but at the same time, the character we were playing would never have done anything different. It's all very strange and is enough to drive one to drink.
>>38259648
Well that's a relief. I guess we all had (or at least I had) Akira and his brother mixed up. Maybe the Grundle didn't know that he found his own way home. That was an underhanded trick either way. Thank god we all rolled high on our common sense check.

Also, what was your other quest, if you don't mind me asking?

>>38259777
>Everyone had a collective bout of sanity on that point
It wasn't really sanity, it was just common sense.

Really? A few dozen childrens lives to let a danger like HIM out? How is that a fair trade in the slightest? He was being amazingly dumb thinking that was a fair deal.

>>38259777

>>38259648

If nothing happened to Akira's brother, he's at their parent's place or his own home?
Because the Grundel was dangling the information about Akira's brothers whereabouts as if the brother had been stolen.

>>38259847
Okay, I just reread that bit. I don't know where you are getting this stuff about Akira's brother. Akira's brother is a salaryman who tries not to think about the nutcase his brother became.

The Grundel only said that he 'sequestered' a single child in Japan. He did that YEARS and years ago.

So, Central and Extreme beat the info out of him, and you all went to the tree extracted the, now adult, from it. And got him some medical care, and bullied the withered stub of P-COC to help him get back into society.

Does Kaede ever find her special someone in the future?

>>38260000
>I don't know where you are getting this stuff about Akira's brother
I recall that when Akira was talking about his experience with the Grundel, I thought he said that his brother didn't make it.

I can't remember exactly when he told us about that, though.

>>38260128
Probably a longstanding misconception that grew out of control and GM didn't notice. Admittedly I vaguely remember it too.

>>38260128
>>38260152
If I did screw up, then I'm sorry, I fucked up. Just go with what I said there, and anything different was the Grundel just screwing with you. This is another perfect example as to why I am walking away from Questing. I apparently make HUGE errors like this one.

>>38260257
>I apparently make HUGE errors like this one.
You gotta keep notes, man.
It's the only way to keep everything straight, especially on long campaigns.

Human memory is notoriously unreliable and you shouldn't depend on it.

>>38260366
He probably has a TON of notes to watch over already.

>>38260257
On the off chance the above statement is true, would you care to upload those notes for all of us to see?

>>38260257
>If I did screw up, then I'm sorry, I fucked up
No, you didn't. I found the place where we talk with Akira about how he was dragged under the bed.
It was him that was dragged under, his brother wasn't taken.

https://archive.moe/tg/thread/28971501/#28978552

I don't know how the idea that his brother disappeared started. Chalk it up to faulty memory of the players that got reinforced.

Figured I'd chime in and thank you for running this quest. Seriously, well done. It was a blast.

I make errors like that too, doesn't mean I stop doing things. I get you lack the time to do it. Let time and care shape a simpler life. Thanks for making a wild ride people don't want to get off of.

The only regretable part was not living the final battle and epilogue than hearing it, but this is a great alternative to never hearing from Ghostmaster again.

>Hey so, stuff happened and I wasn’t able to finish the quest. I apologize. However, I think it would be unfair to not let you know how Daisuke and the others all ended up.

That's sad bro. Really enjoyed this quest. Thanks for all the hard work.

Okay, night. Glad I could finish this. Please someone make sure to archive this, so that the quest can be labeled as complete. (Sort of)

Bump before I go to bed. Hope that I don't wake up one day saying "man I wish I asked Ghostmaster something when he was still around"

This was satisfying.

Farewell, Ghostmasters.

Until we meet again.

Damn I must have missed the thread last night. Thanks for running GM it was a great time. I do hope you can find the time to come back someday; GB:J wouldn't be the same.

I am sad that both of my favorite quests burned out though but I guess that's just how it is.

See ya later GM.
