>Say the truth about it, pressure him now.
>I can guess that it's about a demon and the head of the clan already

>>41246688
What were the crautures that attacked me recently. I know you know something about them.

>>41246873
We already know what they are....

>>41246914
The thing is we can feign ignorance to lure more information from mother.

>>41246688
>>Say the truth about it, pressure him now.

>>41246688
Okay, writing for pressuring him.

>>41246688
''What were the things from two days ago?'' You ask, bluntly, and even not looking at him, you can tell he is nervous.
''I d-don't know what you're t-talking about, Joanne...'' He starts, but soon, seeing your stare, he starts to tremble a little.
''Tristan and I were almost killed by those things, and you three think I'll forget it because 'Mommy asked so'?''
''Fine, fine... There is a force, and ancient and demonic force, roaming the house. And, as it seems, it's getting stronger. Now, strong enough to manifest itself, but we don't want to know what it is yet, not while we aren't ready for it...'' He says, looking down.
''And why keep me out of it?''
''Mom is really worried about you, it's just for your safety... Now, let's go, after all. I don't want to go back there too soon...'' He starts to walk, but stops and start waiting for you some steps ahead.

>Just go to the city already, you can use a little rest.
>It's not 'just for your safety', get the answers you need now!! (If this, roll 2d10.)
>Actually, you don't really want to go to the city anymore. Just stay home, do something else. (Write-in.)
>Write-in.

Rolled 16 (1d20)

>>41248098
Okay, writing for more interrogation.

YURI TIME!
YURI TIME!
YURI TIME!
YURI TIME!
DOWN WITH FILTHY HETRO!
DOWN WITH FILTHY HETRO!

>>41248863
No, give her the dick.

>>41248939
Ignore the troll, Rule no.1:Do not feed the trollls

>>41248954
No, I just want a baby in our womb and to not disappoint two families.

>>41248098
''I don't believe it. I read enough already, Lass, and I know what you're dealing with. Tell me now everything, or maybe I should tell mother about your little betrayal to your cause.'' And to end it, a smile.
''J-Joanne... Please, I... I can't...!!!'' He pleads, but you don't hear it.
''What a shame, I guess I'll involve mother in this, so you can all let me be, yes?'' An innocent smile, and so, he breaks.
''Okay, okay, the demons is... Is... One that is within the family, since it's beginning... It's like our guardian, b-but... He demands a sacrifice every 120 years, and... This time, it was you...'' He looks down, and it's all silent for some minutes, until you can process the information.

>''So, is that it?''
>''Ohhh... I get it now...''
>''N-no, it can't be truth... C-can it??''
>Write-in.

>>41249519
>>''Ohhh... I get it now...''

>>41249519
>''So, is that it?''
>''Ohhh... I get it now...''

>>41249519
>''Ohhh... I get it now...''
>''So, is that it?''
>How is Dad involved?

>>41249519
Writing.

>>41249519
[x] Well,this is inconvenient. I'm supposed to be getting married, not be used as a sacrifice. Who got me double booked?

>>41249519
''Ohhh...... So is that it? I get it now...'' You say, thinking to yourself...
''W-what?? That's it?? You're not afraid?? T-that's all you have to say....?'' He looks at you, a incredulous expression in his face.
'''Hmm, let me see... How about you tell me the involvement of father in all this, huh?'' You ask, a little more curious than what you should be scared.
''Well...'' He smiles, shyly. ''He got you 20 years of spare time, didn't he?!''
Your father. Sacrificed himself. So you could live another 20 years.
He looks at the expression of your face, and smiles, sadly. ''Now, that's what I was expecting....'' He looks down.

>''I'll turn the tables. I have yet another 5 years, I'm going to do well with these...''
>''H-hey... I have 5 years, still.. I-it's a good thing... Right? Right??!''
>Just start walking, try to find a way to deal with it.
>Go inside, do something, ignore it, reject it.
>Write-in.

>>41250178
>''I'll turn the tables. I have yet another 5 years, I'm going to do well with these...''
>"He shouldn't have sacrificed himself for me though, That was stupid of him...."

>>41250178
>''I'll turn the tables. I have yet another 5 years, I'm going to do well with these...''

>>41250178
>>''I'll turn the tables. I have yet another 5 years, I'm going to do well with these...''
>>I think mother-no mom and I need to hug.

>>41250178
Writing, then.

>>41250178
>That means I only have five more years to get everything done! I can't waste time lollygagging about.
>First, though, hug mum. She probably blamed me for Dad.

I am going to sleep now but I am glad what looks like consensus is not to even try to contest the five years time sacrifice but instead accepting it for the good of the family and making the best of the five years remaining.

Thank you for the quest, Etro!

>>41250519
Even demons need a wife don't they? Do demonic divorcees get equal wealth during a divorce?

>>41250178
''I have 5 years yet remaining... I'll do well with these... And, when my time comes... I'll do what has to be done...'' You smile, sadly, and he hugs you, crying a little.
''I don't want you to go... Me, mom, Alexander, we all love you... Why... Why it has to be you....??'' He looks to you, with tears flowing in his face.
''It is what it is, Lass... Sorry, brother... But now, I guess that I have to accept it... I'm glad for all you have done for me, but it is my destiny, after all...'' And, with him, you're off. The sky, the sounds of the birds, the face of your servants. It's all much more lively than before, the world around you looking more beautiful than ever. When you reach the library, Alexander and your mother look at you, surprised. After Lass gets only you and your mother alone, you begin.
''Mother...''

[1/2]

>>41251308
~15 minutes after...
''NOOO!! YOU CAN'T, JOANNE!!! I COULDN'T LIVE ON KNOWING THAT YOU... THAT YOU...'' She continues to cry on your arms.
''Sorry, mother... But I'll assume responsibility... So don't be sad for me, okay?'' You smile, and you feel your brothers hugging you from the sides, also crying. In this situation, even you can't help but cry a little too. Five years, huh?!
--//--
Some days pass by, and at noon, your little reunion gets to an end. Your brother hug you and slowly enter the carriage coming to catch them all, smiling sadly at your acceptance of this fact. Your mother and you are face-to-face alone again, but this time, only sadness and pride compacted in a honest smile.
''Y-you know, if you want, you can come back to the army, sometimes.. It'll be good for you, and for me too.... I'll miss you, dear. Now, and beyond... Farewell, Joanne...'' She gives you yet another hug, and you feel some tears falling in your back, and you just stant there, comforting her for the remaining time you two have now. As you see the carriage going, her words sound in your head again. She said you can go back to the army if you want, huh?! Wow, that's nostalgic, your last times there were... Problematic...
While you enter the house, alone in the hall this time, you starts to remember those times. More specially:

[2/3]

>>41251349
>In the dungeon of the famous Raven Lord's tower. You and your squad, as well as some of the company's own necromancers, were tortured and forced to fight each other there. It was the 2 worst weeks of your life, but thinking now, it was actually really interesting...
>When you and Diana where called by Sierth's battle princess to the deep woods for some reason. The two of then have got some sort of friendship going, and it's apparently the calling of a truce...
>The time when you got swallowed by a hole in the desert, and for some hours you got the most horrifying experience of your life. It was really strange and abstract, but now, you are staring to put the pieces together...

>>41251366

>>41251366
You remember that danmed hole, in the deserts. You were in this operation with a group of clerics, you were only 13 at the time, and your eyes failed you as your feet slipped and you fell into a deep hole, where no one could hear your screams. For seven hours, the sun hitting your face gave you allucinations, and you wanted you could die that time. Remembering now, you notice some details you didn't perceive at that time, as it all started with the silhouette of a man smiling at your direction. Whispers of past sound again in your ears, something you got to forget before, just to remember it now.
"Hello, little Joanne. Let's play...."

End of #5.

So, I'll end the thread here, guys. Thank you for the attention, soon I'll continue it. Until then, you can wait the next one, at that same hour, at this same board...
