Ah, got here too late. Was gonna vote for 'show the house' anyway. Let's show off just how opulent we are.

You should get a twitter if you want a more reliable userbase, OP.

@Etro_Tan
Was in the other thread, also.

>>41103167
Must've missed it.
Still worth adding to the OP for future threads.

>>41102120
You begin the tour in the house, walking from the great ballroom-like entrance to the kitchen, the rooms above and the ones below. A good part of your house is made of maze-like corridors, what makes him a little unconfortable, but as you're already acostumated, you got to show almost everything, except your room, your parents room, and the dungeon below, for some obvious reasons. Looking at an antique clock in the wall, you see that there are still some hours for him to go, a little before nighttime.
"Your house is actually really big, Joanne." He says, while you walk through the kitchen's corridor. "Aria's wasn't so big."
"Well, my house is really complex, if there wasn't so many corridors, it wouldn't be so big." You say, and looking at the sky through a window, you notice that the day is darker than usual, the clouds grey.
"So, there's more or just this? You know, I think we should talk more. I know enough of your house, but I wanted to know more about you." He says, looking at the window too. "Oh, here comes rain..."

>Show him one more place. (Write-in place)

>>41103493
Second

>>41103426

Ask about him. No-one likes to hear someone talk about themselves - but they do like an attractive woman hanging on every word.

>>41103523
He just said he wants to know more about us. Not saying much could be interpreted as dodging.

>>41103426
Writing for going to the winter garden to have some boy-meets-girl interaction.

>>41103722
It'll be so romantic

>>41103426
"Oh? Follow me, then..." You say, turning and crossing several identical corridors. Luckily, before he has the chance to ask where are you going, you get there: A great garden with a little white gazeebo in the middle, to where you lead him.
"So, what do you want to know about me?" You says, sitting in front of him.
"Well, let me see... Well, first of all, what is your goal in life? What's your dream?" He asks, ansious.
Well, do you have a dream? You are a great assassin, and not only this. You know that you can be the best if you try, but the question is: What's the goal?
You could be one of the best assassins of the world, you could even be a hero of justice if you decided to show yourself. What if it's just a matter of time so you can quit this life, too?

>Tell the truth.

"That's a good question, and more complex than you know. Even as an Assassin, I wanted to make the world a better place...but then I learnt it wasn't the right way."

"I want to find some other way - a way to make things better for everyone." Smile at him "It's still a work in progress."

>>41104761
He doesn't KNOW we're an assassin you know and it's best he never knows.....

Rolled 1 (1d2)

Then, tiebreaker between lying about wanting to be a hero, or really wanting to be a hero.

>>41104811
Woot! Screw being a hero!

>>41104811
As long as we don't ever mention our profession it's fine.

>>41104811
fuck heroes

>>41104925
We very well might.

>>41104932
Wow
Are you implying that we'll lose the husbandbowl?
Or that we'll cheat on our husbando?
Disgusting.

>>41104973
>Implying our husband will become a hero and have duplication magic.

>>41104973
Indeed, How very shameful of that anon!

>>41105006
Nah, he doesn't seem the hero type. More neutral right now and we'll be corrupting the shit out of him.

>>41104498
He probably wants to hear something noble and pure, so you'll play it...
"I want to be a hero, to bring justice to those who need it, to slay all evil and make peace reign." You say, with an (in)sincere smile. "To be a idol, a symbol of hope to the people. I couldn't put much though in this yet, though. Family obligations." Your smile turns into a serious line, just as planned.
"Wow, it mustbe tough... Talking about it, what's your family like? My father and I are really isolated from the rest, and my mother is always out on jobs..." He looks a little sad at this.
"Well, I have two elder brothers who work with my mother, that leads the guild now. My father died when I was a little child, so I don't really remember much about him. It's nothing interesting, really." I'ts what you replies, but you knows that's not true, at all. Your brothers have admiration and respect for your deeds, but the only attention you had from your mother were the harsh glares she gave you in your training days. Your father was a great warrior, and looking at you, his memory was enough to make her hate you. It's sad, really, that she can't see everything you did for the company, as your brothers had to train you in secret, just so that you could sneak in the guild to be a nameless soldier for some time. Your name is still there, the truth about you, that just the three of you know...
"If you say. But I think that you might be hiding something..." He stares at you, serious, before shrugging it and looking to the sky. "Hey, I think it's going to rain soon. Let's go in?" He looks at you, extending a hand.

>Talk some more.
>Go in. (Write-in place)
>Write-in.

>>41105210
>Go in. (Write-in place)
>>Parlour, eat dinner

>>41105210
Also, it can look like a meaningless option, but trust me, it matters.

>"Well, since I shared something, now it's your turn: what's your dream?"

>>41105210

This >>41105257

Give him a playful smile "A girl has to have some secrets."

>>41105210
Dinner time for Joanne, then. Writing.

>>41105210
"A lady has to got some secrets, you know?" You say, standing. "It's part of our charms." Before you run to your house, hearing him following you. As soon as the two of you are inside, the rain starts, thunder echoing in the distance.
"Always accurate, isn't you?" He says, looking at you somewhat impressed.
"A lady is never late, she arrives exactly when she wants. Come, I think dinner's ready." You say, and you two go to the parlour. There, the table is alreary served, and some candles are alight, giving the place a romantic atmosphere.
"W-well..." He sits, and you soon follow. "This is.. Nice..."
"Don't. Please, let's just eat, okay?" And then, the silence. It's a little awkward, but it's better this way. You eat in silence for a sometime, but it's starting to become annoying. You don't even hear the servants in the room.

>Just continue to eat.
>Say something.
>Investigate the room, something isn't right.
>Write-in.

Something just feels off because the atmosphere is so awkward. Let's not fuck up and reveal our assassin power level.

>>41106247
>Investigate the room
>But not overtly.
>just glance around.

>>41106359
Nah it's obvious someone sabotaged something, An assassin's sense's never fail them or they would be dead

>>41106396
Well, I wouldn't say never.
I'm sure we've tripped over a root or something at some point in our life.

But they didn't when murder things were happening, of course.

>>41106396
>An assassin's sense's never fail them or they would be dead

"There's something happening here" You say, looking around. "It's so calm, so... Silent. this is not right." You stand, and look around, a confused Tristan staring at you in disbelief.
"What are you talking about, Joanne?? W-what's happening??" He looks scared, but you isn't giving attention.
Maybe there's really something here with you two. Testing your thesis, you look around, to see...

[1/2]

>>41106898
You see three pairs of eyes, looking at you, expectant. The... Beings, are grey, the head composed by the eyes, devoid of life, the mouth, melted in a sick grin, and a pair of horns pointing to the ceiling. Their body is slin, the skin looking like leather, and they have 4 big claws in each hand, the feet looking like a monkey's. They seem to be half your height, and don't look like attacking any time soon. They're just... Watching, for the time being, at least...
"You see something?" Tristan asks.
You don't have your crossbow here, so you might have to rely on magic.
>Your air magic is remarkable. You can fly short distances, use wind blades, and even make little thypoons. As drawback, you can't breathe when using it, so you have to be fast and precise.
>Your shadow magic is remarkable. You can blend yourself with shadows, materialize it to attack your enemies, and use it to create visual illusions. As drawback, you can only use it with closed eyes, making you fight temporally blind.

>What's your plan?
Also, roll 2d10. I'll take the best of the first three of the winner option.

Rolled 1, 4 = 5 (2d10)

Rolled 5, 3 = 8 (2d10)

Walk slowly to Tristan and hug him. Tell him to trust us and not resist. Then create illusions that charge at the beings to distract them while we escape with air magic.

Rolled 2, 4 = 6 (2d10)

>>41107235
Get Tristan to stay behind you, attempt to communicate with the creatures.

Whisper to Tristan, "Watch my illusion, and if anything happens to it, run." Then create an illusion of a servant coming in, pouring you tea, and walking in the direction of the monsters. If Tristan starts running, do the same.

You know what to do. Yes, it's risky, but you do. You slowly walk to him, leaving him confused. "H-hey, there's something behind me? Please say n-" He is still with the hug.
"Do you trust me?"
"Y-yes... Why?"
"Then don't resist..."
And your eyes go shut. Darkness. Then something. You imagine it's steps, and they come. Two, three, four proud soldiers. They march in that direction, and you prepare yourself again, as you hold your breath and you feel yourself levitating. Five meters go, and you fell that the first illusion is gone. Eleven meters, the second. Twenty-five, the third. Just a little more, you're almost on the garden, just a little more, just a little mo- Thirty-nine meters away from the initial point, the shadows go silent, and your eyes shot open.
"J-Joanne, they're right behind us!!"
Shut up, I need to focus... Focus... Focus...
The garden is already in your sight, some meters away, and then... The sky. There it is. The relief, though, is short-lived, as the sound of quick footsteps is becoming closer as you descend to the grass, panting.
"J-Joanne... Are you fine??" He looks worried, and is looking at the garden's door, nervous.

>What will you do, now?

>>41108893
You shut your eyes, and the shadows react to your will, creating a copy of yourself, that goes flying up. Some seconds pass, and you feel it gone, opening your eyes.
Holding your breath, you send the first blade, that cuts one of them in two, and your dress becomes dirty with purple blood. The second blade cuts one of his parts in another two, as the one above him has his neck separated from his body. In the third, however, your breath escapes, and you see him falling, claws pointing to you.

Action.
Dice (2d10).
GO!

You stab, you slash, you twirl and twist, and opening your eyes, the rain you see is purple.
Now, here are you, wet of water and inhuman blood, tired, and your project of an future husband is in the woods. Another great day, in the Nyctoeth household.

End of #2.

Well, guys, i'll have to end it here for today. I don't know if it was because there are not so many people following the threads, or if it's really me, but i had the impression that i didn't write much, and i'll try to detail it more from now on. Also, sorry for the pauses on the run, i had to do a lot of things during it, but it's not common, so i think the next ones will be uptaded faster. In the next post, the pastebin will be ready, and it'll be at that same hour, at this same board...

Sorry, guys, but no can do. A lot to do, maybe a little later. Also, about that QMC channel, what about it? Now I'm curious.
