"No, no..." Tali brushes off some dust. "It looks worse than it is, really. Bathing area is pretty much full so... Figured I'd come see you."

"Is that an earring?"

"Yep."

"The art of healing," Holly explains, "Is not for everyone. It is a complicated magic that only a few bother learning and even fewer master.

>When she speaks it's still in that very soft and soothing voice. Tali has to strain his ears to hear her properly.

"Because of that we healing mages are in high demand. Our services require us to go all across the world of Serda and even to places that don't have a teleportation sphere attached to them. Because of that we are going on a trip. As healing mages a part of your job will be traveling across different terrain. We will be spending a day and a night at the Forest of Magic and see what life is like outside of the comfort of our dorms."

"Doesn't that sound fun, guys!" Vendal smiles.

>Lily sighs.

This is actually pretty neat. I haven't been in a forest since I left home. It'll be nice to be near some nature again.

"Now," Holly says, "I hope you are all prepared and packed. Everyone pick a travel buddy. You and your buddy are responsible for one another. Do not let your buddy die."

>Azul raises his hand.

"Is the forest dangerous?" He says

"Not unreasonably so."

A travel buddy... Who should my buddy be?

Lily. This is a good opportunity to try and break the ice. Maybe we can even patch things between her and 99c.

>>39034877

Who would 99 end up with if we took Vendal? We gotta watch out for her

>>39034782
99c

Lily.

Because noone other than Vendal is going to pick her, let's be honest, so we can't actually pick Vendal.

If she's nice we'll tell her how a blind person can do magic.(She won't be.)

>>39034877
I vote 99c, wondering what magic she can actually use

>>39034782
99c we can teach her about trees

>>39034782
99c all day everyday

>>39034782
Let's go with Lily. Tell her if she's nice you'll tell her a theory you have about how the blind can cast magic.

(it's raised runes. If she can feel the spell, it's about the same as seeing it)

>>39034877
>>39034782
99c

>>39034983
Could we also teach her about the flowers and the bees?

By that, I mean the fucking swarm of murderbees marauding in the magical forest.

"Ninety-Nine, would you like to be my travel buddy?"

"Lily, hey." He says.

"Ah, Tali. Let me guess, you want to be my travel buddy? Sorry but I already picked Vendal."

"Really? It looks like Vendal and Professor Holly are together."

"... Is that so? Well, it makes sense. President and Professor. I'll just go with... Uhm..."

"Why not join with Ninety-Nine and me?"

I think we may have picked the two least social people in the entire school.

I'm not sure I can survive an entire day like this.

>>39035650
Lily, being blind and such a big asshole, can detect other people through sheer disgust. She developped another sense that allow her to sense the presense of other people through her inner disgust.

She can find her way to civilization in a forest by moving toward the nearest source of disgust.

>>39035744
This is a problem with you, not them. Make conversation, Tali.

>>39035744
Just smile and enjoy the comfortable silence with some friends.

Being social with people isn't always engaging them in discussion, jovial or serious. Often, many people find it pleasant to simply relax in the presence of people they like.

>>39035744
Describe things to Lily. She can't see what's going on.

>>39035744
Put an arm over their shoulders. Get to know them.

>>39035787

It's not like you've had a problem talking with them before.

Ask Lily if there's a spell to combine her with 99c to create one normal person

>>39035744

Ask Lily who does her hair. It's very stylish and drilly. Then make a mental note to learn how to style hair from said person so every girl in the school will come to you for styling, allowing you to socialize and endear yourself with everyone easily.

This conversation seems to be progressing alright so far. Just keep going until they get hostile.

99c, mind your behaviour, that's not how you speak with customers with impaired ablities. Lily has need of special services that are rarely offered outside.

"Wow, Copper. You have quite the mouth on you today. Is it because Tali is here?"

"We are only saying the truth. We at the Ninety-Nine Copper store believe in being fair and truthful to all our customers. Especially those with special needs."

"Copper, if you say one more word-"

"SOOOO, Lily! I was wondering something. Why did you join the school? I mean I know why I'm here and why Ninety-Nine is here but not your reason. I mean if it's too private you don't have to share."

"It's not," She says, "My parents were among some of the richest in Windcrest. Eventually they got tired of people asking where their daughter was at all the diner events so they shipped me off to Minia. Only school that would accept humans on the opposite side of Serda. I failed all the magic tests, obviously, and was about to be kicked out when Vendal took me in. I really don't give a damn about healing magic. Or magic in general."

That's... Really sad.

"Ah," Tali says. "Vendal helped you, too? So you and Ninety-Nine have have something in common."

"I guess. Except I didn't have Vendal babysit me since then. I'm self sufficient."

"Vendal did not babysit me," Ninety-Nine says.

"She got you food, let you sleep with her, and even washed your hair. That's pretty much babysitting."

"That is not... Tali, is that babysitting?" She looks at Tali.

>>39036679
Wait wait wait, is 99 Copper talking normally?

>>39036679
Oh boy.

It's not really babysitting by the technical definition, no.

It's just, uh, being really dedicated. To your work. Yeah.

SO WHAT ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THEN IF NOT FOR MAGIC, HOW ABOUT?

LET'S ALL TALK ABOUT INTERESTS AND NOT OTHER THINGS

>>39036679
We at Talu inc. consider that to be a subjective subject and can therefore not give a satisfactory objective response.

>>39036679
Less babysitting and more acting like a surrogate mother. Which seems like something Vendal is wont to do.

>>39036679
Well, Tali, in my opinion, it is. But then, Ninety-Nine Copper does work harder than any other person in this school. If you want to go that way, you can make some sort of analogy of how 99c's out working all day and Vendal stays home and does all the cleaning and cooking, like they're married.

Alternatively, why not ask Lily what it is she does all day, if she does't do magic and she's blind as fuck.

>>39036679
...it is, actually.

>>39036738
This. Mention that she would do that for everyone. I bet she offered to do that stuff for Lily too.

>>39036679
"Isn't that just what friends do?"

>>39036679
Nah, thats normal between girls, isn't it?
Even if it isn't, pretend it is like you pretend to be a girl.

also make sure to start leaking profuse amounts of illusionary spaghetti from your pockets, that is the best way to talk to girls!

>>39036679
Well, It's not really babysitting, she spends most most of her time alone doesn't she.

>>39036679
Wait aren't those things you did for 99c too? But yeah she could stand to be a bit more independent. But uh, don't be one-sided, tell Lily she really could go out a bit more- 99c isn't actually stopping her is she?

Also ask Lily if she really doesn't care about magic. You were thinking of ways she might be able to cast spells, but if she doesn't even want to...

>>39036679
Um, I think it is just that Vendal enjoys helping other people. That must be why she's learning healing magic too. So Lily, what are you plans for the future?

>>39036679
"Since you spend all day working is less I'm babysitting and more like I'm your wife"

Then blush furiously at what you just said

>>39036818
>>39036825
yeh its normal!
all girls do that shit
its part of being bffs

>>39036844
They're talking about Vendal, not Tali.

>>39036679
Tali I'd just like to remind you to stop being racist. It's gross.

>>39036679
quick tali use the illusionary spaghetti! make it come out of everything, not just your pockets, they will never see it coming! this could be a major breakthrough in spaghetti spilling technique!

>>39036926
Of course they wouldn't see it coming, Lily wouldn't know about it even after it happened.

>>39036679
Quick! Convert something to ice cream and give some to 99c and Lily!

>>39036679
"...Are either of you actually learning magic?"

"It's not really babysitting, I think. Vendal would do that for anyone who needed help. That's just the kind of person she is. She likes taking care of people, no matter what they need."

>Ninety-Nine nods.

"Yes. We think she is a nice person."

"... Yeah, she's okay." Lily says.

"So I know Vendal took you both in... Are either of you actually learning magic?"

"Nope." Lily says.

>Ninety-Nine shakes her head.

Awesome.

"Well... Lily, what kind of things do you like to do?"

"Like, hobbies? I read."

"Oh? What kind of things do you read?"

"Books."

"Heh, I know that. I meant what kind."

"... Romance, I guess."

"We have romance books in stock." Ninety-Nine says.

"Yeah, right." Lily replies.

"We do. We could order some for you if you are looking for one in particular."

"Is that so? Do I have to fill out an order form?"

"Yes."

"You really don't give it up, do you?"

"We do not understand."

"Ugh..." Lily stomps off ahead of the group.
---------------------------------------------------------------

>Vendal stands before the woods, excited as usual.

"Alright, class!" She says, "This is it. The Forest of Magic. Within this magical realm are creatures most of you have never seen before! Your group's job is to make it from here to the other side. Simple, right? We'll have you all starting at different points so we're not too clumped together. Now, who's each group's leader?"

>A few hands go up including Lily's.
>Vendal hands them all a piece of paper.

"There is a simple map. This will help you get across. Now it's impossible to make it across the entire thing in one day so do try to make camp before it gets too dark. Any questions?"

>>39037223
If they aren't learning magic, can we use them as mana batteries I mean spellbooks I mean uh...puppets of the greatest necromancer to ever live?

>>39037294
"How can Lily read the map?"

>>39037294
Is there any kind of safety system going on here at all, or are we fucked if we get eaten by a lion?

So have you all see the totally awesome Cosplay Edition of Larrostream?

>>39037294
Any particular part of the woods we should avoid if at all possible?

>>39037321
Why would there be lions in a forest? They usually live in deserts or tundra as far as I know.

>>39037294
"Is this possible for a group with half a magic user?"

>>39037294
Lily has an eye for detail, so it is all right.

>>39037294
Are we allowed to keep anything we find in the forest?

>>39037294

Is there some sort of camping kit that we get? I don't remember there being an outdoor survival course between all the magic classes.

>>39037341
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LIVES IN FORESTS LIONS ARE JUST AN EXAMPLE

>>39037312
I'm pretty sure you could make like a braille map, but they probably didn't because let's be honest even more developed societies don't really do enough for the blind, and Tali appears to live in some sort of feudal hellhole or something I don't even know.

TALI HOW DOES YOUR GOVERNMENT WORK

>>39037341
It's a magic forest. Someone could have learned the rune for lion and then created a bunch for no good reason. These are WIZARDS we are dealing with.

>>39037294
...hang on, does 99c have a crush on Lily? I mean, from the sound of things, she just offered to write a romance novel for her.

Ask if you're going to have to defend yourselves. Our group has two non-mages so uh we might be a bit lacking in firepower.

>>39037294
>Any questions?
Are there elven cannibals in that forest?

>>39037294
I don't think Lily could learn magic if she wanted to Tali. The only magic she could learn would require runes, and if she's blind she won't be able to write them down to cast spells.

I mean, sure, she could have someone else make the spell and then have her cast it, but she might as well just be a mana battery in that case, and I don't think she trusts anyone enough to blindly cast whatever spell is put in front of her.

>>39037294
>"Well... Lily, what kind of things do you like to do?"
>"Like, hobbies? I read."

HOW!? Isn't she blind? Is there a section in braille?

>"We have romance books in stock." Ninety-Nine says.

99c probably participates in the /wst/

>>39037422
Let's make rune-shaped press stones that we can press into her hands to teach her runes.

>>39037294

>within this magical realm
>magical realm

Uh-oh.

>>39037450
I know, right?
odds are high we'll run into tentacle monsters.
And something that swaps all our genders. Then the ladies are suddenly attracted to us for reasons they don't understand, and oh jeez.

>>39037395
"Yes, but you shouldn't have to worry about that, you're all human!"

And then Tali was eaten by elven cannibals that could see through his glamor.

>>39037422
She trusts Vendal. That would be enough to teach her magic based on raised runes.

>>39037422
Blind casting is strictly prohibited anyway. She would potentially be able to cast spells if they were put in a spellbook for her otherwise. You have to know exactly what you're casting in order for the laws of magic to allow you to cast it.

>>39037470
Tali has what is potentially a VERY NASTY lightning spell, I don't think cannibals are likely to be the thing that eats him. It'll be like a dragon or a manticore or something.

"Are we allowed to keep anything we find in there?"

"Of course."

"Is there like a safety system or something? In case we get attacked or something?"

"Nothing like that should happen! It's reasonably safe in there. But -should- something happen I'm certain you all know enough magic to get yourself to safety."

>Tali looks at his teammates.

"So... No monsters in there?"

"Hardly any. Save for... The undead."

"... Undead..?"

"This was the site of a major battle during the great Human/Elf War. Bodies littered the forest and it's said the wild magic around here sometimes bring them back to life...

>Vendal speaks with a few others before dismissing the groups. Tali's group is taken a few feet away from the others and sent off into the woods.

"Was there a survival class that I missed or something?"

"This is the survival class," Lily explains. "The Forest of Magic is easy. And don't believe any of that crap that Vendal said about undead. She says that every year."

>Lily takes out the map and holds it in front of herself.

can we illusion the map to make it readable to her?
we can illusion ourself to be human girl even to the touch, and we can illusion the correct answers onto a test paper, can we do both at the same time?

>>39037961
She might be able to read it upside down. Although it would be nice to get a look at it.

>>39037961
Lily, since you're the leader, you should be delegating tasks to people most appropriate for the job.

>>39038071
We already illusioned a correct answers paper during the entrance exam, so the answer to that one would be yes.

>>39038099
I know, but can we combine them?

>>39038071
The illusion only works to the touch as long as it's visible to whoever is touching it.

>>39038089
Why is she the leader? I thought we were the leader! Next you're going to tell me Tali is in charge!

>>39037961

Hold her hand~

>>39038128

We should glamour Lily so that she thinks she's Tali, and so Tali looks like Lily. Then since Lily is the most experienced and can read the map, Tali-Lily leads the group to victory while Lily-Tali stays in the back and keeps to herself.

>>39038124
so Lilly can touch our Girldong while every one else stares at her wondering why she is jerking thin air?

>>39038186
Presumably, although the glamour would probably break pretty fast if she did that.

>>39038186
You are implying that Tali cannot keep up an illusion during a handjob. Noone would be able to see her jerking him off!

>>39038071
My glamour only works when people can see it. Lily is pretty much completely immune. So if she grabbed my crotch or chest my cover would be blown pretty quickly.

"Really? Even when it's upside down?"

"......"

"You're the leader, right? You need to divide the tasks amongst who can do them best."

".... Yeah, that's right. Okay. Tali, you take the map. I'll use my Aura Sight to watch out for anyone coming our way. Copper, you just stand in the back."

"... Understood." Ninety-Nine says.

>>39038128
she only does that because she doesn't want to be a burden to others, i don't really mind her being the leader. But tali should do his best to support her.

>>39038245
Take the map.
Put ninety nine on inventory duty. What has she packed?

>>39038245

Headpat.

Headpaaaat.

>>39038285
For who? Lily or 99c?

Who am I kidding, both.

>>39038245
Ruffle her hair! She did a good job

>>39038285
HEADPATS FOR EVERYONE!

I don't think we're at headpat levels yet.

"We could put her in charge of inventory. Actually we should probably take care of that now before it gets too dark. Ninety-Nine, how are we on food?"

>Ninety-Nine pulls out a bottle water. Tali shows his mallows and chips. Lily reveals she brought nothing.

"Is this all we have," Lily says. "For lunch, dinner, and tomorrow's breakfast?"

"It's not that bad, really."

"Oh?"

"Ninety-Nine could have forgotten to bring water. Why didn't you bring anything, Lily?"

"I... Usually Vendal brings the food. I have the tents, though. Which means she's probably sleeping on the ground tonight."

Not with all that stuff Professor Holly packed.

"I'm hungry." Ninety-Nine says.

"Me too," Lily says, "As leader I should divide the food up."

>Ninety-Nine looks worried about this.

"I'm inventory manager. I should divide the food."

"But I'm the leader. I know who should get what amount."

"But you'll probably give us nothing."

"Do you not trust me?"

"No."

"Tali. Tell her I'm the leader and therefore I get to divide the food."

>>39038245
REWARD HER GOOD DECISION TALI.

>>39038402
Ah the classic food pile dilemma.

Tell Lily she gets to divide the food into three piles but 99c gets to chose which pile she gets.

>>39038402
Doesn't anyone in the group know the rune for food?

Or maybe just transmute a tree to ice cream.

>>39038402
I can divide the food! Endless spaghetti for everyone!

but seriously, you should just use that mana gem and change a tree into icecream

on another side note, could we illusion people that they are actually eating spaghetti if they can see it?

>>39038402
Now's not the time for your departments to be bashing heads!
We need to work together to get through this crisis.
Namely, does anyone have a good guess on what the hot dog rune is? Because I can do ice cream, but momma needs her dogs.

>>39038444
perfect!
my mom did the same thing when we had cakes, one of us cut it but someone else got first dibs. they were the most identical slices of cake ever.

>>39038402
Tali, can we transmute anything into more food?
How about hunting something?

>>39038462
>>39038470
holy fuck anon the hivemind is real

>>39038402
Maybe we should try to find some berries or fruits? What kind of stuff grows in the forest of magic? Maybe we could even find an enchanted pool or a fountain of youth?

>>39038402
Leader gets to assign the jobs, but since 99c's job is inventory you have to trust her to be able to do her job well.

Tali, you can shoot fireballs and shit right? Do you have a locator spell you can use to find fish or rabbits or something? Then we kill that and cook it.

>>39038402
Tell her if she wants you to give orders, you'll have to be the leader. If she wants to be the leader she has to gain 99c's trust, so that she will listen. She also has to not betray your trust.

Tell her if she does a good job as leader, you'll tell her something interesting on the other side of the forest. Seriously Tali, the raised rune idea has merit.

>>39038402
SHE IS NOT THE LEADER WE ARE THE LEADER AND TALI IS OUR SUBORDINATE.

POKE LILY WITH THE ORB.

>>39038402
well, at least your group has a steady supply of protein, just don't tell them where it came from.

>>39038402
Inventory manager divides it, leader has veto power if the division is bullshit.

>>39038402
Just let Lily do it, if she does it badly you can just make icecream or something.

>>39038402
Hey, we could probably improvise a Detect Water spell, right?

>>39038632
Yeah, we can definitely do Detect Water. Tali should be able to do that himself, even. Detect FOOD is probably beyond us, unless the food is ice cream. But we could convert water to ice cream? I think that's the closest thing we'd get here to use as conversion fuel.

CONVERT TREE TO ICECREAM PERFECT SOLUTION

Wouldn't converting piss to ice cream be safer? Way less mass.

>>39038750
It would be so messy though. Don't we have a rune for something else that's edible?!

>>39038750
convert blindness into icecream

>>39038750
Convert Tree to Pee. It's be easy too because they sound similar.

>>39038808
How about a rock? That's less mass than a tree and less gross than piss.
>B-but it's not piss anymore! it's 100% icecream!
Try convincing Lily and 99c.

"Lily you're the leader. You shouldn't really be letting me decide things unless you want me to be the leader. But I have an idea. How about you decide who gets what while Ninety-Nine divides them into three piles."

"... Clever. Very well."

>Ninety-Nine divides the food into three perfectly even piles. Lily gives them out and the group sits down to eat.

>Tali casts Convert Stone to Ice Cream. With the mana gem the spell doesn't drain any of his own mana and creates a sizable amount.

>They don't talk much as they eat but their peace is broken by a choking sound. Tali looks away from his food and sees Ninety-Nine, with her mouth full and with a distressed look on her face.

>Tali rises from his seat, which gets the attention of Lily, but before he can reach Ninety-Nine she swallows and takes a deep breath.

"What happened?" Lily says.

"We... We ate too many marshmallows at once..."

Meat would work too.
Or veggies.

Anything but more sweets.

>>39038903
Time for the heimlich maneuver. Remember, get as much body contact as possible, it's super important to stop her from choking.
Go behind her, put your arms around her, hands clasped together underneath her breast bone, and yank upwards.
Just ignore the way her warm body feels against you and the soft pressure of her buttocks rubbing against your elfy-bits.
Most of all, accidentally grab oone of her breasts when she can breath again

"Pfthahahahaha!"

>Lily starts laughing. Ninety-Nine does her best to glare at her while wiping away sugary drool and tears.

"Oh my gods! How many were you trying to shove into your mouth! Were your cheeks all puffy? That would have been an awesome way to go. 'Choked on marshmallows.'

>Tali tries not to join in on the laughing. It's clear Ninety-Nine is not too pleased by this.

"Come on, Lily. You've never done that?"

"Hahahaha, no! I'm sorry I'm sorry. I'll stop." She desperately tries to contain herself. "I just thought something crazy had happened. But in the end it was just Copper trying to gorge herself on sweets." She chuckles again and resumes eating her food.

>Ninety-Nine looks very upset.

>>39039038

We can make alcohol though.

obviously we should go hunting

>>39039086
Aww. Tali make her feel better with a delivery in the rear.

>>39039086
Give her some water.

Also, can we make water? Or ice? Or cold?

Because we need more water.

We could convert a rock into an undine hand and just tell everyone it is some sort of seafood.

>>39040013

Tell her to calm down. Tell them that all the seniors probably planned this as some sort of test for all of your composures and stuff. If there was any real threat of undead in the forest or such, they would have sent you along with some Thorns for protection or with additional equipment for warding off undead or to teleport away to a safe spot. That should calm them down a little.

In the meantime, you must assume and prepare for the worst.

"That's the point." Holly says. "Healing is more than simply taking care of others. When I was in the war I would have to wade through battle, surrounded by enemy casters and fire in order to reach my target. If they can't handle a few scares..."
