How old is Lupa? I noticed she was born in AE 130 and her mom died in AE 144, making her at least 14 if the years are the same as in real life. Which doesn't give her much time to be raised by Pytor before she gets too old for people to be treating her as a kid.

>>39591751
>It depends on if Lupa ran away or not too. Her mom whored her out by the sound of it.

She's been with Pytor for a little over 2 years. So she's 16-17ish. Also, I go vertically.


The Girls:G.S. Alright, so they’re arranged in a semi-circle around the three of you. Three of them are closer, and three of them are hanging back.

The one on your right is covered with dried mud, but only from her feet to her knees, and her arms, up to her elbows. The one on your left has ribbons, wires, and strips of cloth wrapped around her legs, and arms, you notice that they’re twitching slightly, and not in the direction of the wind. The one straight ahead has a large assortment of scars, yellowed bruises, and generally looks like she’s lost the last ten fights she’s been in. However, she’s showing no sign of pain. All three look eager to fight.

The ones hanging back look like they’re getting ready to dive for cover. One of them has shards of mirrors sewn into her clothing. She’s jittery and keeps shifting her eyes back towards one of the buildings. There’s the one with ink splattered all over her body. The ink slightly shifts and moves. The last one has visible veins in her hands, they’re grass green though.

Weaponry:G.S. The guns that the three closer girls are pointing at you are just plastic-glass guns that have been painted to look like real guns. The other three have real guns, but you can see that the automatic pistol that Green Vein has, doesn’t have a magazine in the handle. Ink and Mirrors have .357s. You see one empty chamber in Ink’s gun, but Mirror’s looks fully loaded. So…guess that Ink has 4 shots at most, and Mirror has 6. The rest are bluffing.

Area Scan: Fail. You're a tad too preoccupied with the girls to notice anything else around you.

“So,” Scars says. “Consider this a toll. You dump your packs out onto the ground, and if it’s enough, we let you get in your heap and drive back to your prissy ‘Township.’ If it isn’t, we’ll take a look inside and make up the balance.”

She gestures with her gun. “Or, this becomes unpleasant for everyone and I think odds are good you’ll end up unhappier than we are.”

Ray’s narrows his eyes and it looks like he’s looking at something past the RV.

Pytor is looking at the others. You know he’s doing the math. You know Pytor isn’t one who allows people to rob him without consequence. Your mother is proof of that. However, you also know that he’s not stupid enough to get into a fight he can’t win.

I'm going to laugh so hard if our clean energy output is enough to power up their glass guns.

So, we're gonna blow our cover just because we're surrounded by magic users. Ah well.

>>39592739
>>39592828
>>39592833
Why are we magicing up? We're close enough to almost kill ourselves right now with that mindlink crap.

I have to use the chance of you being here Echo and say: thank you or your dediction here.
The stories you spin are truly magnificent and allow some of us to dream. I daresay you're an inspiration and there is many a thing I have to thank you for.
May your work be seen annd felt for years to come, you deserve it.

>>39592945
Because there is no cooler moment for blowing our cover than when surrounded by cocky magical brats.

It'll make them more likely to believe us when we say that the power is still on and they should head in right away to hear the glorious words of West Wind.

>>39592945
I want to find out how they activated and what do they know

And i think they know how to use their joy decently enough to balance the fight into there favour

"I'm disappointed, little sisters."

>>39593134

You take a step forward. "You know, there's no reason that we can't all walk away from this mildly happy. After all, wouldn't you like to trade your fake guns, for real ones?"

You point at Mirrors and Ink. "Though they've already got some, and a couple bullets, so they'll get last pick."

Scars is good, but she blinks. The others look a little rattled.

Pytor aims his shotgun at Mirrors, and Ray uses the moment of hesitation to draw his pipe rifle and cover Ink.

Scars purses her lips, and then shrugs and tosses her fake gun away. She draws a collapsable baton and flicks it to full length.

"You think we're scared?" Scars says. You notice that she's careful not to lift her foot from the mirror shard she's standing on.

"It looks like half of you are ready to bolt." You say. "Also...you might have other tricks, but you aren't the only ones who do."

Scars' eyebrows go up and you can see her looking you over, trying to guess what your 'trick' is. You can tell the other girls are now just as nervous.

"If this ends in a firefight, you'll lose." You say. "So, how about you listen to what I say the toll is?"

Scars frowns. "I'm listening." She says through gritted teeth.

“You let us go and we leave whatever we left inside for you...and we don't go the 'unhappy' route.” You say. “That’s a whole military facility, and we got the place running, so it’ll still have power for a little while longer. There’s plenty of stuff in there to get.”

Scars looks at the others and then back to you. “Yeah, I don’t buy it. I think you’ve got all the good stuff, and now YOU’RE the ones trying to bluff us.”

“You don’t want to do this.” You say. “You don’t have to do this.”

Scars opens her mouth, probably to say something that she thinks is clever, but Pytor and Ray aren’t dealing with that shit. Negotiations have failed, so they both open fire on the two girls with actual firearms.

Sadly, the distance is too far for Pytor's shot gun, and Ray's rifle is a homemade piece of junk that goes, wide.

Thankfully, it does cause Ink and Mirrors to dive for cover.

Muddy traces an X on the ground with her foot then jumps into the earth...and it swallows her whole.

Veins ducks for cover with the other two behind a large pile of rubble.

Ribbons flicks her wrist and a piece of ribbon flies off of her wrist and towards Pytor's arms.

Scars swings at you with her baton.

As Scars herself has just demonstrated, all the Joy in the world won't save you from an ordinary attack and a knife can do a lot more than a baton.

"I...I...I'll explain EVERYTHING after! I promise!"

'Where do you find Joy?'

"I find Joy even in the Ashes."

'Are you kidding? This is probably the easiest thing we can do.'

-Ash Cloud-

You point your hands at the ground, and there's one second where noting happens. Then in a 30 ft radius around you, more than enough to cover everyone there, a thick cloud of grey ash bursts up from the ground.

Ray, and Pytor are now both blind.

All the Small Joys were wearing goggles, but no masks.

>>39594387
>Continue to fight them
The others are currently incapacitated and it's ideal if we can get them out of the way first, but continuing the fight keeps the Small Joys' attention off them and on us.

Plus we get to try out the knife trick and if anything is valuable, it's determining the nature of our powers.

>>39594481
Come on, at least knock someone out before you attempt this.

>>39594387
>Continue to fight them

I'm doing this under the assumption that running makes us lose our loot in the kerfluffle.

"If you can, get to the RV!" You shout at your friends.

Pytor and Ray both make their way through the haze towards the vehicle.

Thankfully, the Girls don't seem to be focusing on them.

'Mole girl's going to try it again! Dodge!'

'Doesn't she have any other tricks?'

Scars connects, but it doesn't hurt. You really are tough as nails when you're Ashes.

The other girls miss. Okay, so that means Mirrors has four bullets left, and Ink two at most.

The ash cloud has dispersed enough that the girls can clearly see you now, and have stopped coughing.

You can see that Pytor and Ray are almost at the RV. The girls are still intent on beating you to pulp.

You focus and gesture your hand down again.

"COVER YOUR MOUTHS!" Scars yells before the world explodes into a grey cloud.

You grab your knife, and make a run for the RV as you hear the motor rev.

Taking the time to grab your knife has given time for Scars to make a swing and Mirror to fire off one last shot at you. Ink doesn't shoot but she does hurl her hand at you and you see a glob of black stuff fly through the smoke.

So, Ink can hurl ink AND spy on people via ink drawings. Good to know.

>>39596102
> Ash cloud again
Our cover was stated to have thinned somewhat.
Afterwards, as appealing as fleeing is, it's important that they don't feel that they can follow us. As a result, disabling more of them before intimidating them away from considering pursuit seems important.

>>39596265
Oh, we know Inky can't hear people through her drawings, by the way. We said we could do stuff too when we were talking to a poster and she was just as surprised as the rest of them.

Thank God for the ash cloud, you duck and Dodge out of the way of everything, and jump inside the RV.

"GO!" You shout.

The RV roars into motion and the three of you are away. You stagger over to Pytor's bed and fall down on it. Your body aching from all the abuse that it just handled.

Ray runs to watch out of the back window.

A few tense moments pass.

"They're not following." Ray says.

You sigh in relief.

Pytor says nothing as you go over the bridge, probably a little faster than is safe. He continues to say nothing until the RV gets to a Genesis watchtower. Then he parks the car.

You're feeling slightly better, and your wound's stopped bleeding. A fact that Ray has been silently watching and gaping at.

Pytor walks over to where you are, and sits down in a chair, next to Ray. He just calmly looks at you.

"Okay...for the record...I was planning on telling you, just...when we were at a safe place like this."

"You're th-" Ray starts but stops when Pytor holds up a hand.

Would have preferred to reveal this all to Pytor before Ray, but needs must.

I can't tell if Pytor is angry or not. Scary.

>>39596651
He's not angry with you, he's just disappointed.

Before we do any of these votes, tell Ray that he needs to take one of those pills.

Telling our pragmatic mentor/father figure that we're likely to be attracting monsters does not seem like a great way to not be kicked out of this RV.

Tell them everything else though.

You tell them everything that you know, about Joy, about Hubris, about what you found. You even let them know that it was you that Pytor shot at earlier.

Pytor takes it all in, not saying a word. Ray's mouth just opens and closes at certain parts.

Finally, you finish. There's a moment of silence, and then Pytor gets up and starts up the RV again and begins to drive.

After a few moments you both figure out that he's heading back to the Confessors' Ranch.

"I could see through the ash." Ray says quietly.

"Hmm?" You ask.

"My eyes...they've been feeling weird, and I've been able to see things better and...and...when you made those big clouds, I could see though them...sort of...I mean, you know what I mean." He puts a hand to his face. "Is...that what's happening to me? This 'Acceptance' thing is affecting my eyes?"

You shrug. "Maybe." You look back up at Pytor who hasn't said a thing.

Ray looks at Pytor, and then back at you. "You've been blessed Lupa. God has chosen you to help us and protect us."

"You know that I would NOT like everyone to know about this. Especially since there are some people who are crazy...those Righteous people said a LOT of things that I didn't like."

Ray nods. "Oh sure, sure. I mean, you're Lupa, but people could get the wrong idea..." He bites his lips. "Maybe Father should know, I mean...he HAS to know. The Hubris threat, and these Eyeless creatures. You HAVE to show him Lupa." He looks at Pytor, then he whispers to you. "And I'm sure you'll have a place to stay with us. No matter what."

"I'll think about it." You mumble.

Ray frowns. "Lupa...my Father has to know."

> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!
> Fine, Ray. But...I want to tell him myself, okay? (You know that Ray will all but drag you to see Preacher Bill as soon as you get to the ranch if you pick this.)

I just realized that if we hadn't critfailed our book roll we probably could have greeted those girls by name.

>>39596933
He is likely to find out anyway better get it out of the way now. I think we owe him the truth.

>>39596942
> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!
not with this situation with genesis going on

Dont want to grabbed and study by those guys for the greater good

>>39596942
> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!

>>39596942
> Fine, Ray. But...I want to tell him myself, okay? (You know that Ray will all but drag you to see Preacher Bill as soon as you get to the ranch if you pick this.)

As much as I want to tell Ray to fuck off.. Bill is a good preacher. He deserves accurate information to preach with. and I'm pretty sure the rest of the voters are outvoting this hard

>>39596942
> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!
They went after him when he was an annoyance. Imagine what will happen if he starts actively interfering with them? He isn't the type to let it lie and they will kill him or worse as soon as I look away.

>>39596942
>> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!

Ray's dad is on the verge of worshipping Joy-in-Ashes already. I get the feeling that telling the Preacher is going to actually mean telling his whole congregation, anyone who wants food from the Confessors and also Genesis.

I don't think we're ready for the entire world to know about us.

if you tell him ì have to leave and you'll never see us again

>>39596942
We are getting kicked out of Pytor's life so hard. Wow.

>>39596942
> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!

Pytor needs to know. Ray knows due to the unfortunate circumstances we've just suffered (and also because he has acceptance traits, which we can exploit).

The fewer people who know, the better. The world in which we live is not a very nice one and, considering that we were beaten quite soundly even by a couple of girls, it's probably best not to attract attention at this stage.

Even later, having an alibi as a normal scavenger will come in handy and telling an influential preacher more or less ruins any chance of that.

>>39596942
> Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!

>>39597064
We weren't beaten we could probably have won but we were trying hard for a while not to kill them if we hadn't been doing that we probably could have won.

>>39596942
>Ray, No. Please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!

In before ray betrays us anyway

>>39597112
We did win. I don't know why you think they had to all stop fighting for it to count as our victory.

>>39597183

Well, shit happens.

>>39597183
He wants to fuck Lupa and he just got a mutation that makes him an ideal traveling companion for her.

>>39597183
Well yeah. Pytor is probably going to kick us out too. But its all in character. Things are going to happen and we will need to deal with them as they arrive.

>>39597232
We are literally one of the best fighters in the wastes we don't attract hubris from an exceptionally long distance and without us that fight against the Small Joys would have gone much worse I don't think he kicks us out.

>>39597297
Without us, I think Pytor would have handled negotiations better. Because he is not an idiot.

>>39597317
True if we had just offered some MREs or something we probably could have avoided that combat entirely but in a combat situation we are indispensable.

I really want to know what Mirror and Ray were looking at before the fight started.

>>39597297

We're a pretty large risk to keep around; even if we're not attracting all the Hubris in the world ever, but we're still increasing the amount of danger he's going to encounter.

Also, its a pretty safe guess that we've made an enemy out of those Small Joys and that's gonna come back to bite us, and they currently have no beef with Pytor (he did nothing during the fight, after all).

Just two reasons that putting us out is going to increase his life expectancy.

>>39597232
Its the heros journey
we have to leave our home and discover our self
its freaking standard
there nothing bad about telling him this cause it gives him a fair warning of what may come

>>39597039
"Ray. No, please. I need your WORD that you WON'T tell him!" You say.

"Why? If you don't want him to say that Ashes is Lupa, that's fine. You can trust him to keep a secret." He says.

"I do trust him, but that's the problem." You say. At this point you're half making up stuff, but you've got an idea of what to say.

"Huh?"

"Well, say he starts going on about stuff like Joy and Acceptance, and all that stuff. Not to mention saying that I'm more than just an 'angel' that showed up. What's going to happen?"

Ray frowns as he thinks about it.

"Right, people will start coming and asking questions. You've got a problem with Genesis right now, and that's just because you're the second biggest settlement, and have food. What happens if Genesis thinks you're not just 'neighbors' but an actual threat? If you know, or have, something that they want?"

Ray shakes his head. "We can protect you. Genesis won't find out. They're not that smart."

Ugh, denial. "Well, what about those People of Joy, or the Righteous? They attacked you with Hubris, and that was just because they didn't like you? I think they'd do a bit worse than a couple of flunky assassins if they thought there was a real prize there."

Ray shakes his head again. "But you stopped them! We can stop them. God is with us. YOU are with us. We've got all these new guns, a-and we can go back to the city! Find more of West Wind's military supplies. She must have had more right? You're getting worried about nothing, Lupa. You know that we can protect you. You had those other...what did you call them...Small Joys? You had them at a standstill by yourself. Think of what you could do with the Faithful at your back!"

He's talked himself into believing that the Confessors can beat Genesis, the Righteous, and anyone else.

Pytor continues to be silent as he drives.

>>39597380

We're not interested in being the figurehead of the Confessors, because we're pretty sure that we'll start a war if we do what Ray wants us to do.

>>39597465

I can't handle a few lesser joys. Genesis has their own Joy whos been active longer than I have been. Besides bullets can still kill me.

>>39597573

Not if we toss him out of the moving RV while he's unconscious.

>>39597599

Most effective way to shut him up, short of killing him.

>>39597605

>>39597465
> Ray, if you tell...you'll never see me again.
The odds are good something will happen that will prevent us from seeing him again anyway, but this does seem like the best option.

>>39597657
It's that or get press ganged into a ducking suicide crusade

"Ray, if you tell...you'll never see me again." You say.

Ray looks at your face for a moment. Then he goes to the back of the RV and just sits there, not looking at you.

The rest of the trip is in silence.

Finally, the Confessor Ranch arrives. Pytor parks the RV, near the other vehicles, and he gets up. He looks at you.

Oh, right. You're still Joy-In-Ashes.

> Fuck it. Ray's going to blab. There's no point. Leave the RV and be seen as Joy-In-Ashes.
> No. You need to put some trust in Ray, or at least give yourself some time. Change back to Lupa.

>>39597750
>> No. You need to put some trust in Ray, or at least give yourself some time. Change back to Lupa.

>>39597657

Abandon? If we're not going to trust Ray to keep our secret, and we want our secret kept, then we kill him.

Preacher Bill knew that Ray was taking a risk coming with us, and I'm sure Pytor will back us if we say that Ray was killed by Hounds or something while we were scouting the ruins.

That said, point is moot now.

>>39597750

> No. You need to put some trust in Ray, or at least give yourself some time. Change back to Lupa.

It's the option that screams "run away from home with me, Ray!" the hardest.

>>39597750

If he rats us out right now it's easy to claim something happened and he's delusional. But if he's going to, it won't be until he's alone with his father.

>>39597750
I love how Lupa is so powerful that she forgets she's transformed. Is that normal for big Joys? Who knows.

>>39597834
I mean everyone KNOWS he likes us. Anything he says about us being the "angel" we could blow off a hooey, cause who are they going to believe the dude trying to say his waifu is the angel or the girl he is accusing? Right?

>>39597750
>> No. You need to put some trust in Ray, or at least give yourself some time. Change back to Lupa.

>>39597780
You change back to Lupa...and instantly regret it. Your wounds and bones have healed, but they are REALLY sore, and you don't have Joy to feel the pain for you.

A random thing irks you as you help Pytor gather up all of the collected salvage, and give Ray his meager share. (Still no one says anything.) You never found out what Scars or Green Veins could do. Huh.

You all pile out of the RV. Pytor turns and looks at Ray. "Your Father is in the tent?"

"Usually." Ray says. "I...I think I'm going to go to my tent. Then...check to see what's going on in the kitchen."

Pytor nods. The two boys walk off. Neither of them looking at you.

He hasn't said a word to us since we revealed our alter ego. If he wants to have a chat without Ray in the background to overhear us, that's fine. If he wants to kick us out as everyone suspects, we're in a location where we can scrounge a meal and some supplies instead of the middle of the wilderness.

We need to get Pytor on side, or at the very least play damage control. I'd prefer to have him helping us if possible, or if that's off the table, at least work this out on friendly terms.

I wonder if asking if Mirror girl could teleport to us if we had a glass shard and offering her free translations whenever she wants would have worked.

>>39598082
I really don't think he's as pragmatic as everyone seems to be insinuating, he saved us from our mother, and from everything I've seen seems to genuinely care for us (albeit in his own way) our whole story seems rather far fetched and he might be thinking that we have been lying to him for quite some time about this. We really just need to talk it out with him.

Am I the only person who wants to tell Ray to fuck off if he tries to go with us? I know he's going to tell his dad if we don't let him. I don't care.

>>39598203
... hmm, maybe not fuck off, but refuse to take him along.

>>39598203
Nope, I'm with you on that.

>>39598203
Yes anon we get you hate Ray cause he's male and the first potential LI. Considering this is tg I'm fairly certain you'll get your way.

Could we tell Ray's dad about the End and the Hubris and all that and claim we discovered it in West Wind's base? It's plausible.

>>39598203
The thing is he could be very useful with his acceptance gene. Do we really want to not take him along just because we dislike him.

>>39598203
Ray sucks because he doesn't give a shit about what we want he's all like oh man you have to do this shit for me and my dad and my god.

Selfish prick

>>39598248
... Yes? Is this a trick question?

Echo I hope you realize offering a male LI was a mistake. Only female LIs are acceptable.

>>39598265
If he tells his dad after we ask him not to I vote we leave him otherwise I think the benefits outweigh the problems.

>>39598266
The world we are in is not the nicest, it is a good idea to have allies.

The only thing Ray has going for him is his acceptance. His crush is annoying and his religion is tiring.

>>39598232
I couldn't care less about hubandoing ray is shit

>>39598106
You follow Pytor.

"Pytor, can we talk?"

"Go ahead." He says.

"Are you kicking me out of the RV?" You ask.

"Haven't decided yet." Pytor says. "Thinking about it."

"Oh." You say.

"If the Confessors have a spare car and tent to sell, I'll buy them. Then you can have them, and all of your things from the RV. Then that will be that." Pytor says.

"And if they don't?" You ask.

He shrugs. "Still thinking."

"Is there anything I can say that might help you decide?" You ask.

He nods. "It's possible."

"Why'd you take me with you?" You ask. "I know you...you..." Deep breath. "I know you killed my mother because she tried to steal from you."

"No. I killed her because she tried to stab me when I caught her stealing from me." Pytor says. "And I took you because I'm not a person who leaves little girls alone. I was planning on dropping you off at Genesis or here. Then you read the bike charger manual, and I said you could stay."

"And now I can't?" You say.

He shrugs as he gets to the crest of the hill and the tent. He pauses in front of the entryway. "As I said, I don't know yet."

He pauses before going inside, waiting to see if you have anything else to say.

> "Goodbye, Pytor."
> "Please, Pytor."
> Go inside with him.
> Run.

>>39598176

Unless I'm misunderstanding, he "saved" us by killing our whorepimp mother after she offered us to Pytor, and then took us with him after it became clear we were useful. I get the feeling that he would have left us there if we weren't. Dude is a survivor, and one of the best armed folk we've seen so far.

Pytor definitely cares for us, but he's also spent a lot of time teaching us what it takes to live in the wasteland. What was it we said in the last thread? We took what was worth the cost of taking?

I think Pytor is debating about whether we're worth the cost any more.

>>39598310

Yup

>>39598292

We stay with him he will die. Either by magical girl enemies, or my accidental mind link.

>>39598203
I would just appreciate the tragic irony of us implying that he'll continue to see us when fate has other intentions.

His death could inspire us to greater heights, or it could be something more inane: he could get stuck helping his father despite attempts to run away from home.

>>39598292
>implying that any LIs are acceptable.
We are Joy-in-Ashes.
We are the messiah who will deliver the world from its present nastiness (provided everything goes according to plan).

I'd rather not have Pytor ask us to leave. He's been good to us.

>>39598292
I'd personally be okay with a male love interest.

I just have a massive case of the Shadowruns right now. If Ray blabs, I'm all for running the hell away. Plus, I just don't like him all that much right now, although that's probably a consequence of him having little screentime outside being a mildly obsessive preacher's son.

>>39598396
By that logic we're going to be offed while alone. I was implying most anons would only find yuri acceptable and since Ray is male and a prospective Li they're going to shun him on principle.

>>39598484
As someone who usually likes yuri,, Lupa has fucked guys before. She's no longer fit for the purest form of love. Never ever.

>>39598484
guilty, but im a unrepentant yuri-fag, i doubt most of the others here feel the same

>>39598435

We should save this for later, if Pytor does ask us to leave. For now, we need to be strong.

>>39598455
Agree with you on the run if he blabs plan. We don't want to start a war between the confessors and genesis. We've got other shit planned.

>>39598455
I really don't want to lose Pytor in our group, particularly because most of the anons here will not take Ray with us and I really don't relish the thought of being alone as it is a lot easier to get bashed over the back of the head when you are by yourself than when you are with someone.

>>39598520
First thing I thought of when we ran into the Little Joys: Harem.

>>39598547
It's still possible. All we have to do is be willing to bribe the fuck out of them next time they see us.

Pity about that dislocated jaw, if it weren't for that crit we'd be much better off diplomacy-wise.

>>39598484
I have no issue with friends or companions. Pytor, for instance.

It's just LIs to which I object.

Posters don't transmit sound, I thought.

And here I was hoping that with the Girl no longer being P/u/re there could be a straight or asexual Magical Girl Quest. Lol nope.

>>39598680
Ember may have already been found out by Gen

>>39598681
She obviously knows how to write stuff. We can try both Civ and bastardized writing.

>>39598694
Comes with the genre.

>>39598681
We can write a message in non-Civ. You know, the language everyone can read that isn't super-mysterious.

>>39598702
Very possible, but combating Hubris and those who use them is going to need more then one Joy-in-Ashes.

>>39598702
Very unlikely. Plath said she might be a threat, which means she probably isn't activated right now.

>>39598694
I want to hang out with the Small Joys because from what we saw they are FUCKING AWESOME. Not because I want to fuck them.

>>39598694
I'd support that MG is always yuri so it would be a nice change

You walk inside with Pytor.

Preacher Bill is in the middle of the large tent. He's stitching up a hole in one of the smaller tents, along with some other Confessors. He looks up and smiles at the pair of you.

"Pytor, Lupa! You're back!" He looks around. "Where's Ray?" He asks.

"Kitchens." Pytor says.

Preacher Bill sighs in relief and motions for the pair of you to come to the stew tables, that have been cleared.

Pytor lays out the guns, medicine, and bullets. The body armor he's keeping for himself, and the whiskey is saved for the next time he needs to bribe Genesis soldiers.

Preacher Bill is very happy at the haul. "This is good." He sighs as he picks up one of the pistols and inspects it before carefully putting it back down. "I hate to have these around. Still, if we can show Genesis that we don't need their 'Protection,' then they'll have fewer excuses to come marching in. Of course, then I have to make sure that no one's dumb enough to pick a fight with them." He shrugs. "But you can never go broke on betting on the stupidity of people who are afraid."

He claps his hands. "Anyway, it seems as if we are in quite a heavy debt to the pair of you. What do you want in exchange for all of this?"

"Do you have any spare cars?" Pytor asks.

"I'm sorry?" Preacher Bill says. "A car? Is your RV not working?"

"Do you have any spare cars to sell?" Pytor asks.

You close your eyes and wince.

>>39598694
Nope anything with a female MC will devolve into straight u without qm saying no mc is straight.

>>39598748
Have you ever watched a magical girl show? There are plenty of straight ones.

If you're talking about quests... point taken.

>>39598771
Ace Combat quest doesn't seem to be going that route. Host kinda through a big shot at it early too.

It actually has been a while since I've seen a lesbian quest other then magical burst. The other with female MCs I can think of have mostly been straight or straight leaning bi.

>>39598823
Assassin school quest, unfortunate magical girl quest, false dendrite quest, etc. Quests without u are very rare.

>>39598769
Does that 6 mean Pylor passed his roll? I'm a little excited.

Thread, please stop talking about lesbians. Thank you.

>>39598769

"Sorry, if anything we need more working cars." Preacher Bill says.

You let out a breath.

Pytor shrugs and nods. "Then let's move on to meat, wool, and maybe a little scrip."

You start to lose your interest, and fear when Pytor and Preacher Bill start to dicker over meat, wool, and scrip. It seems like the moment has passed.

That moment comes back when Ray walks into the tent.

"Raymond!" Preacher Bill waves at his son. "How was your trip with Pytor and Lupa?"

"It was..." He looks at you. "We had some excitement. We ran into some raiders."

"Did you now?" He looks at Pytor sharply.

Pytor shrugs. "Some punks who had a gun. We got away."

"Lupa was amazing." Ray says. "She kept them busy while we got to the RV."

"Ray..." You say.

Ray bites his lip. Then he swallows and shrugs. "Yeah. It was...pretty crazy."

"It really wasn't. Just some punks." Pytor says.

"We did find some interesting things in the military base we were exploring." Ray says. "Turns out there were these special people back before the End."

Okay...so Ray's going to keep your secret, but it looks like he's going to blab about the Joys, and maybe other things.

> Interrupt him

>>39599147
>> Let Ray talk

Preacher needs to know this shit.

>>39599147
> Interrupt him

>>39599147
> Let Ray talk

>>39599147
You dropped your name
>Let Ray talk

>>39599147
Not letting Ray tell his father about his super special vision is just being a dick.

>>39599147
> Let Ray talk
If anything, interrupting him will only raise suspicions.

Moreover, it's quite probable that others will take a look through the facility at some point (although it might not have power), so trying to keep everything secret is a little futile.

>>39599147
>Let Ray talk

>>39599147
> Let Ray talk
I'd interrupt Ray if I thought it would help anything.

It won't.

Yup, I'm all for dumping him. Boy doesn't know how to keep a secret.

>>39599147
Fuck, now I'm disappointed that we don't get to go it alone.

I doubt people would have wanted to immediately go back to that facility to finish looting and meet the Joys again anyway. But it sucks to have the chance completely taken away.

>>39599220
I feel like some people want to interrupt him just to be a dick to him
>>39599242
As far as I am concerned anything he saw with his own eyes that isn't directly related to our secret he can tell the best lies come from those who everyone thinks are always truthful.

>>39599242
Yeah he is completely untrustworthy

>>39599261
Yeah anon you can't get a yuri harem this thread, life sucks.

>>39599242
We never asked him to keep this secret though. Just ours.

>>39599277
He's still keeping ours.

>>39599242
They're his goddamn eyes. We have no right to say whether he can mention them or not.

>>39599277
I wouldn't say untrustworthy, more like he's just not very good at staying quiet.

>>39599277
He is keeping our secret form his father despite very much wanting to people are being really harsh on him for no real reason.

>>39599147
"They were women called Joys, and they could do the most amazing things, and they fought these monstrous, demonic, things called Hubris. We found that there was this woman called West Wing who led armies back before the End. She ran the base we were exploring."

"Really?" Preacher Bill looks at Pytor. "Is this true?"

Pytor shrugs. "I didn't spend much time looking for history, and I can't read Civ like they can."

"Always good to have new truths to speak about." Preacher Bill says. "Write down anything you remember, Ray. I'll look it over later. If you have anything else, I'd like to see it."

You feel West Wind's diary in one of your suit's pocket.

> Offer the Diary
> Talk about Joys and West Wind in a positive light

>>39599286
He's keeping it while we are standing right there and he is hint dropping like a mfer I don't know how long he can hold out but if he stops being so shit maybe we can trust him
