Baby steps. First we walk around at dark on our own. Then we do an extremely dangerous magical initiation.

Guess that's enough waiting for players to get in here. Time for a perfectly safe night stroll!

>Don't tempt the QM anon.
That's what I'm here for.

>>42457256
We'll probably only need to put ourselves back together with magic if we eat the magic stuff I forget the name of.

>>42457657
Sparkles.

>>42456909
I can't stand any more of this. I need to get out of this room, I need something to distract myself. Out, that's where to go. After all, what could possibly happen on a perfectly innocent evening walk through Hinde? It's the safest place I've ever known! I'm already two steps out of the door when it hits me, the realization that my tired mind has led me to make an inexcusably stupid mistake.

It's cold!

I rush back inside and grab my favorite coat - soft, warm, and safe, it's like having a papa you can bring with you anywhere you go! - button it up nice and tight, and swing the hood over my head for good measure. Sure, it's not even Fall yet, but you shouldn't underestimate the cold of night!

Rearmed and safe from the elements, I begin my second foray into the dark. Well, truth be told, between the street lights and Mara's light my room was probably much darker than the streets, but I can't lock the door to the town so it's way different! And even if it's my safe and cozy home the streets really do seem quite intimidating now that I'm out here. But so does my bed.

With no real destination at this hour of night, the choice of direction really is meaningless. On a whim, I decide that down is the way to go, the direction where most of the homes, including Amalia's, can be found.

>>42457725
The next test of my nerves immediately presents itself as I take my first step down the stairs and the sound of my boot against the smooth surface echoes back and forth, startling me and nearly causing me to slip! You wouldn't notice at all in the day with all the sounds around you just how far the walls of the houses can carry even the slightest sound, but now that the peddling merchants, playing children, and cheerful birds have all fallen silent, the only sounds to be heard are my own.

I am halfway across the town when I see him. Nothing more than a silhouette, but I know it's him. The boy, the strange one, the same one I saw yesterday. What is someone his age doing out this late. And...why is he... staring at me?

>>42456909
>I need to keep my plan secret from Papa or he might suspect that I want to use "unfair" methods to help him defeat his rival blacksmith
That's her reason? Fuck that, I'm voting to tell him the moment it's in-character.

>>42458279
Your problem there is that by default, it will never be in character.

>>42458392
He starts suspecting something, Nadja feels guilty and decides to come clean. Lots of ways it could become in-character.

>>42457742
With animals in the forest, staring is like a contest of dominance, Amalia taught me that. So if an animal is staring at you, you have to stare back at it to show you're scarier than it is. And boys are kind of like wild animals sometimes, so it should work on them too!

I take a deep breath, and prepare myself to stay as still as a statue. I just hope I'm better at it than he is. He looks like he can run a lot faster than me, and I definitely don't want him to do nasty-mean boy things to me, like pulling my hair or slipping spiders down the back of my coat!

I barely suppress the shivers as I begin imagining the feeling of spiders trickling down my back, creeping around my back, spreading all over my body... No, no, no!

"EEEEEE!"

My hands reach my mouth far too late to silence the scream. Stupid, stupid, stupid, it's just my imagination! Now I've gone and ruined it and he's sure to-

Wait, he's running away? Did I... scare HIM?

>Chase him! I have to apologize for frightening him!
>Run back home to make sure there are no spiders in my coat!

The way this character is turning out, which I should add is absolutely nothing like the character I was expecting to write so you'd damn well better like your girly girl, I'm starting to have trouble even justifying her having the nerve to keep a secret from Papa at all. I guess I'll just call it power of love.

>>42458471
Nadja is 12.

>>42458682
We're trying to take our mind off being scared. Talking could accomplish that.

>>42458783
>I should add is absolutely nothing like the character I was expecting to write so you'd damn well better like your girly girl,
What were you expecting and does this mean you don't like her?

>>42458783
They samfagged that vote, it's whatever. Also girly girl is a nice change of pace.

>>42458783
If you wanted us to play evil witch you should have had us start the quest as witch with goal of killing everyone in village without being detected

>>42458783
If you start by saying we want to help our father then we'll probably go that route. Just saying.

>>42458811
Of course not. I look forward to having fun with her trying to be all witchy despite her nature. It'll probably be MUCH better this way.

>>42458980
All i'm wondering is where we could have gotten a different personality, i mean we were kind of girly and all from the very beginning.

>>42458421
I guess... I win? I win! Yay!

Still, I feel kind of bad for scaring him. I didn't mean to do that! But it's probably best I leave him alone, I might just scare him again. Though I don't really know why anyone would be afraid of me?

I decide to turn around and start to head up towards the upper part of town, where the town hall, barracks, and church is. If it wasn't so late, I could visit Kerstin & Klemens, but I don't think they'd appreciate that now. Maybe the night watch would like a visit? Though more likely, they'll tell me to go back home.

I notice my pace is much quicker now, though not because I'm afraid. On the contrary, I actually much better now. I guess it's comforting to know I'm not the only one who gets a little frightened out here at night. In fact, I feel a lot tougher and braver now. If I can feel this way tomorrow night, I'm sure to do great at my Rite. What a great feeling!

That is, right until I notice it. That wasn't an echo, no, I definitely heard steps behind me. I look back, but everything is still, nobody in sight at all. Only the empty market square, littered with empty stalls and crates lined up against the walls of every house. But I'm sure I didn't imagine it. And there are plenty of hiding spots in a town like this...

"Hello?" I call out.

As expected, nobody answers.

"Uhm, Strange Boy?" I don't think that's his name, but hopefully he'll know I'm talking to him, "I'm sorry if I scared you before. I ju-"

>>42459576
A sudden, forceful push from behind promptly blows the wind out of me and sends the ground flying toward my face. No wait, it's probably the other way aro- OW!

Glistening cobblestones fill my entire vision as an uninvited hand closes shut around my mouth. There's a weight on my back, keeping me from standing back up.

"Don't even try to move." A boy's voice. The boy? Back for revenge?

"Mmmghmgh!" No no, he's going to do nasty boy things to me!

"No talking!" The voice sneers at me.

The weight shifts slightly, and I soon feel the warmth of his breath against my cheek. I tense up, imagining the thousand horrible things he could be planning to do. No spiders, I hope!

"Now, are you going to send me back?"

...Wha-? I don't know what he's talking about, but... I can't ask him if I can't speak?

>>42459596

As I understand it Nadja is currently on her front and he is on her back, so it seems very unlikely.
We could try biting his hand though.

>>42459596
>We should talk to this boy!
And that's why we should have told night watch there's some strange boy going around at night

Currently, no, but I'll note that two anons have expressed the desire in case circumstances change to allow it.

>>42460066
Just the one roll is good, thanks. You're rolling for the bravery, since that's the part that's most challenging to Nadja.

I don't understand! Send him back? I don't even know where he came from! He seems really serious and will probably get really angry if I give him the wrong answer. But...what does he want to hear? Yes or no?

"Answer me!" He cries into my left ear, feeling like it's about to burst, pain merging with that coming from my forehead.

But why? I don't deserve this! I'm a good girl, I deserve praise and pretty things, not being hit in the head and yelled at! Who does this boy think he is, doing all these crazy things! What a meanie! Someone like him deserves to...

Yes, yes he does.

And I deserve payback!

"Mghmmmghgh!"

"No, answer the question, witch."

Well, I tried to warn him. Here goes.

3...

2...

1!

I bite down, as hard as I can, though only managing to bite onto a bit of skin. Still, the effect is apparent as he quickly pulls his hand away, easing the weight on my back as he does so.

"What the fu-"

Using both hands and knees I push myself up from the ground, sending him stumbling to the ground beside where I was lying just a moment ago. He's grabbing his hand with the other, holding it up to his mouth, whimpering helplessly. I think I even see tears glimmering in his eyes.

It's strange, a moment ago I feared for my life and now instead...

It's such a strange feeling. On one hand, I'm angry about what he did. But, he's also just a child, like me, and he's hurting. Wouldn't it be wrong to hurt him more? Papa would definitely say so.

Oh well. He was kind of asking for it.

>>42460741
>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]

>>42460827
>who we apparently unknowingly wronged
Thjere is nothing even remotly indicating this. Only that he apparently thinks we did something, but there is no reson for him to be such a jackass about it.

>>42460741
>Tell him to leave me alone, then run home. [Mercy!]
Don't hurt him more, but don't help him.

>>42460741
>>42460778

>>42460848
>There's nothing indicating this except that there's something indicating this
Okay.

And yeah, that's why I'm saying he deserves it.

>>42460741
>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]

>>42460827
Yeah, i mean don't get me wrong, if he hadn't stalked us for the last days without even trying to ask for help, then appearing in the middle of the night again not saying a word, THEN grabbing us and trying to shout bullshit things at us, then i maybe would not vote to kick him in the balls. We gotta stand up for ourselves more anyways.

>>42460741
>"Maybe you should think twice before trying to accost a witch! Now explain yourself!
(regardless of the fact he failed to find an actual witch)
If he thinks we're a real witch intimidating him shouldn't be too hard.

OP is trying to add romance
y/n

>>42460741
>>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]
Wonder how many levels we have to get in wickedness before we get a cackle.

Can we combine kicking him and asking what the fuck? Makes sense to me.

>>42460778
>>42460741
This

>>42460868
>Okay.
There is a implication he thinks we can do something for him, not that we are responsible for him needing that help. Thats a lot bigger jump altogether.

>>42460741
>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]
>Then ask what the hell is wrong with him.

>>42460878
He hasn't been stalking us.

>>42460921
>He hasn't been stalking us.
He clearly followed us to attack us right now, the text directly say we heard steps following us.

>>42460904
He thinks we are working for someone searching for him
He's probably spoiled brat that ran away from home and thinks we called his parents
>>42460741
>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]

>>42460921
Well, he's at least had plety of chances to do this a completely normal way (and slightly less normal ways) instead of assulting us in the middle of the night.

>>42460935
Well, yes, but not for days.

>>42460969
>Well, yes, but not for days.
True. Though on the other hand, maybe he has, we don't know for sure.

>>42460962
We just met, what do you think he's even trying to do.

>>42460741
>>Help him back up. [Forgiveness!]
She just said she’s a nice girl, so she should act like it.

>>42461001
>We just met

>what do you think he's even trying to do
Trying to scare a little girl into do what he wants by assaulting and screaming at her.

>>42461001

>>42460900
Sure, that works.

>>42461019

>>42461019
There is a difference between being nice and just forgiving and helping someone who physically assaulted you. There are limits to these things.

>>42460741
>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]

>>42461029
>We met before, actually.
No? We avoided the boy at every opportunity. This is the first time he's spoken to us.

>>42461039
There's no reason to believe that's best except "Someone is trying to make me do things!" which is a shitty reason for anyone other than a witch. Witch gotta be contrarian.

>>42461029
>We met before, actually.
No, we did see him, but we didn't have any contact.

Speaking=/=meeting.
And that his first way to try to talk to us is by attacking and screaming at us, doesn't do his case any favours.

He saw us a few moments ago.

>>42461064
What if you are assaulted by a visibly distressed and now crying child?

So can we agree to calling night watch when we see some suspicious dude walking around at night?

>>42461116

I meant before that.

>Kick him between the legs! That'll teach him! [Wickedness!]

>>42461136
I'd actually like having faries around us. It'd be kind of cool.

>>42461122
He wasn't distressed and crying when he assaulted us, he got distressed and started crying when we fought back.

>>42461183
We should eat some extra sparkles after ones we eat at initiation!
Maybe we will grow wings!

>>42461136
Of course. They're unavoidable.

>>42461183
Actually, I do.

Now I need to stop responding to gossip and actually write!

>>42461214
I don't think we should blame a kid for crying after someone bit his hand. Don't forgive him for the assault either, but don't pile further offenses on him for something so normal.

>>42461211
Not sure what the lore is in this world but as long as their not sunshine and rainbows faeries I'll be fine. I want child eating german faerietail ones damnit

>>42461282
Fuck you. Sunshine and rainbow fairies are the best, I'm sick of never trust fae memes.

>>42461272
>I don't think we should blame a kid for crying after someone bit his hand.
Huh? No one does?
The point was that the anon I (tried to) respond to(>>42461117) claimed we got assaulted by a distresse and crying child, which we weren't.

>>42461282
Well, although i was thinking of normal faries, us controlling flesheating ones seems even better...

>>42461304
You can trust fae you fool!
You merely have to put some brain into trusting them!

>>42461304
Fae always tell the truth, you just have to be smarter than they are to trust them.
>>42461317
Awesome concept, eh? Very witch like

>>42461320
Now we're feeding them our brains too!? Say NO to fairies!

So one day OP said "Man I want to FUCK a fairy!"
And so he fucked a fairy
Sadly for him it was fairy with mating habit of spider

The boy looks up at me, eyes flaring with anger. Not distress. Not pleading for forgiveness. Anger.

"Fuck you, w- UNNNNGH"

The kick is swift, effective, and honestly feels good. For me.

"Stupid boy! I was going to help you, I was even going to forgive you, but you don't even feel sorry for what you did!"

He doesn't respond, both hands still clutched between his legs.

"What are you even doing, attacking random people in the streets? Are you crazy?"

He's still just lying there.

And now I'm starting to feel bad again. Even if he wasn't nice, this is... Mean! I'm the meanie now! But I don't want to be a meanie! Papa taught me to be nice, not mean! If Papa saw me now he would...

Papa would...

My knees give in and I stumble to the ground, landing flat on my butt. I feel my breath failing, I gasp desperately for air, the world slows down around me. The boy weakly lifts himself back unto his knees.

An eternity seems to pass as a hole grows in my stomach, growing larger. Finally, the void explodes and the pressure releases, pouring from my eyes. Air fills my lungs again, only to be quickly pushed out as I wail uncontrollably. Not cry, wail, like I remember doing many years ago when I got separated from big sis on a trip to the Imperial Capital and thought I'd never have a family again.

I wail, even after the boy has stood back up. I see him talking, but I don't listen. It's not important now.

The boy runs off to somewhere, but it's not important.

My eyes start hurting so bad I have to close them, but it's not important.

Time passes, but it's not important.

Because mean girls don't deserve a Papa or a big sis.

Suddenly I feel myself lifted off the ground. A soft voice whispers in my ear as I feel myself pressed gently against its soft chest. I stay there, in the comforting embrace, even as a soft bed arrives to offer itself to me. Even as I feel the thin layer of cloth between myself and the soft and warm become soaked, I stay.

When next I open my eyes, I find myself in a strange bed, bright light shining on my face. The room is well decorated, far more than mine, walls lined from end to end with fluffy toy animals, interrupted only by the bed I'm in and a sizable closet across from it. This room must belong to...

"Gee Nadja, about time!" Kerstin calls out the moment I step out of her room. "It's already noon, you know!"

I'm in the church. Kerstin's domain and to a much smaller extent, Klemens'. He's here too, head burrowed in books and silent as ever.

Did we just have a panic attack because we were mean? Man our wicked stat tree needs filling out.

>>42462386
It's perfect anon.

>>42462290
>"Wait, noon? I need to go, I'm late!"

>>42462386
No more wickedness!

>>42462386
Indeed. We need to know when it's alright or not allright to be wicked.

>>42462411
>not wanting to be sunny and personable
>not wanting to have a secrete wicked side

>>42462443
Terrible reputation with a secret sunny and personable side sounds more fun to me.

>>42462470
That's not very good for business.

>>42462470
As long as we don't get locked into one or the other it seems fun. What kind of witch doesn't hex people? Or have a kickass cackle

>>42462411
>>42462443
>>42462470
Voting for find out about magic then seeing what we want to play as.

>>42462501
We're a witch. A terrible (as in wicked) reputation could help business.

>>42462542
How?

>>42462542
usually being considered a bitch with magic gets you shunned and avoided.

>>42462542
But anon
Witches don't have business
They deal with flavors and mastering magic

>>42462569
Scaring away unwanted business. You think we want people knocking on our doors asking us to do crap'/

>>42462617
Exactly this is why witches always setup shop in a swamp or something similar.

>>42462638
>Exactly this is why witches always setup shop in a swamp or something similar.

>we are aspiring loli yoda

>>42462638
Right, that's surely part of why Mistress is in the forest.

>>42462684
Dude she's in a bog....

>>42462617
That doesn't really help business so much as it does keep it away. Also we're doing this to help Papa.

>>42462638
The problem is balance of reputation and skill
Witches need to be powerful do deal with powerful clients
If you can't even challenge your client you better be prepared for short life

>>42462718
>Witches need to be powerful do deal with powerful clients

So what you're saying is that we're a girl with a particular set of skills, skills that are a nightmare for people like them?

>>42462704
I don't see what helping Papa has do with any witch business.

>>42462748
More like people they are against
But mad client can still be dangerous in this business

>>42462718
Never deal with clients. Problem solved.

>>42462777
I don't think he would approve.

>>42462852
We'll see how he reacts to us becoming a witch soon enough...

Hey OP
Will we need to become cat person to safely snort moon sugar?

>>42462895
I just hope it's not reacting to finding out we hexed his rival.

I mean, I am TOTALLY on board with hexing his rival for the sake of the story, but it doesn't seem like a smart idea.

>>42462918
>become
One of our best friends is literally a cat person.

>>42462939
We may have to be more subtle, maybe make some potions that will help him out, or hurt his opposition.

>>42462939
I'm sure we can come up with a more elaborate plan once we learn some more.

"Wait, noon? I need to go, I'm late!"

"You're welcome." Kerstin grunts in annoyance, promptly inducing a chuckle from Clemens behind her.

"Stuff it, ne-"

"Thank you, Kerstin! Thank you, Klemens!" I interrupt before they get each other going, and rush out the door, completely ignoring the beautiful glass mosaics decorating the temple, or the way the light refracts in these causes colorful rays to flow gently across the room over the course of the day, or the masterful painting lining each wall. They're not important now, because I'm late!

I rush through the town, right past my own house as I'm reminded that I haven't eaten yet, my stomach crying in despair at my negligence. It'll have to wait, because I'm late!

I rush past the lower quarter, barely acknowledging shouts from Klaus and Klarissa who appear to have received the dubious honor of patrolling the road, because I'm late!

I pay no mind as I hit the wall of rotten stench in the bog and almost fly up the stairs to knock on the door, ready to apologize deeply for my tardiness.

After a few minutes of banging, Mistress finally opens the door, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Nadja, why are you here so early? Oh well, I suppose since you're here I may as well make use of you."

"You remember the tea instructions I gave you yesterday, I assume?

THREAD THREE END

>>42462991
Ruh-roh

>>42462939
Yeah, one thing that could happen is how after we do it our father finds out and tells us we're a bad girl
That would probably break us.

>>42462991
so soon?
Thanks for running boss see you next time

>>42462991
Thanks for running!

>>42462991
Sleepiness says I have to end the thread soon, and this seems like the most appropriate point within reach. Tomorrow, we'll talk a lot more about what it means to be a witch and what it doesn't mean, since you guys seem eager to learn more about that sooner rather than later.

I aim to start the next thread same time tomorrow, so I hope to see you there!

>>42463030
Apologies, I unintentionally woke up far too early today so I don't think continuing much further will be healthy for me or the quest. On the upside, tomorrow I should have more energy, making this weekend effectively the opposite of the last one. Sort of.

>>42463076
Thanks for running.

>>42463076
How high is our wickedness stat?
How much moon pieces we will eat at initiation?

>>42463042
Is it bad that i would enjoy that father disappointment scenario happening if only because it would be an interesting development for the story?

Oh, and uh, the suptg archive function appears to have weirded out on me. It's been "working" for ages now and the thread appears in the archive but, at least when I try to open it, I get a 403 error. I don't know what that's about.

Moe should work fine at least?

>>42463076
I really liked the panic attack scene btw. It has me torn between hnnnng levels of cute and wanting nadja to nut up.

>>42463123
Girls don't have nuts.

>>42463118
Same for me, it sends an error though the other recent archives work fine.

>>42463117
I'm right there with you.

>>42463117
It would be an amazing development only if it doesn't turn Nadja into a horrible person.

>>42463204
Noone said horrible, maybe a bit more wicked

>>42463204
Either she'd go the route "Even dad says i'm a bad girl now, therefore i must be." or it would lead to some sort of insanity in her/mental stuff.

>>42463117
I don't personally see how that would be interesting.

>>42463263
Your answer is >>42463250
It'd be an interesting turn for the character

>>42463263
Well, it would bring a pretty big change in the story (at least for a while depending on if it's fixed or not) and i like changes i suppose. Especially the change between "niice and happy" to "grim dark" or reverse.

I don't want to see a turn in the character when we've barely seen anything. Maybe a couple dozen threads down the line.

>>42463317
Obviously, if we get that far anyway

>>42463296
>Especially the change between "niice and happy" to "grim dark" or reverse.
That's called tone whiplash. Stop liking bad things.

>>42463317
Yeah, i didn't mean soon, just a change of pace some time pretty far ahead.

>>42463338
Not sure if meant story tone or character tone.

>>42463357
Meant mostly the emotions of the character(s).

>>42463290
But it really doesn't seem like it could possibly result in anything interesting. It would completely remove any character motivation.

>>42463385
Yeah that's what I thought. Dunno why people don't think you can't have a darker moe/hugbox quest.

>>42463338
But it's great if used correctly and consistently
Just look at Gintama

>>42463418
So you know the ins and out of the characters motivations? Maybe Nadja would use it as an excuse to hex people since she's already "bad".

>>42463426
Because it usually goes horribly in quest format, Look at Re:Kobold.

>>42463484
Oh god, you're one of those guys who hates that quest. Lotus never promised a hugbox, everyone just expected one.

If Nadja pisses off her father, the only proper response is to desperately try to reconcile.

>>42463114
It is as you see. I don't track character traits numerically. If your goal is to help Nadja become tougher, simply doing wicked things repeatedly won't do that. She'd just be insane if she kept doing something she hates.

It's more of a way for me to measure roughly in which directions you'd like the character to develop, so that I can try to facilitate such developments.

I will note however, no matter how Nadja develops the quest will never, ever, be grimdark. Serious emotions, sometimes sure, but even if Nadja does manage to LEARN to act truly wicked, she must never stop being cute about it.

Cute is imperative.

>>42463454
Why would she act badly on purpose just because she thinks she was acting badly before?

>>42463531
>this punctuation

Yep, I made the right call ending the thread. Good night!

>>42463418
Well that's hopefully where we come in and makes a decision for her. For example: Either we choose that she thinks since she's already done bad things and she's bad so we might as well do more. Or maybe we think that she should flee into the woods where noone can call her bad things. Or we choose for her to think more and more "crazy" things to develop her wicked side. There are a lot of things we could do there that we'd never be able to as we are now.

>>42463484
Lotus didn't really do things the right way though, he'd plan ahead to do stuff that was nearly impossible to aviod just to get his version of what should happen. There are different ways to go about things.

>>42463531
I can get behind crazy cute.

Was there ever good dark and heartwarming quest on /tg/?

>>42463531
My wishes have been fulfilled, thanks Friend.
>mfw cute-wicked Nadja

>>42463544
Because she's bad in her father's eyes, since she's already bad she might as well do bad things if they have results

>>42463531
I love you.

I don't want Nadja to be wicked so much as capable of chewing someone out for attacking her without feeling bad about it.

Can we have a chance to meet her friends that isn't placed alongside meeting Mistress? It's clear our priorities place Mistress higher, friends won't win like this.

>>42463571

So, basically you want to remove any semblance of a story or a collective goal?

>>42463656
I think she's making us hers
But that's quite normal with magic and apprenticeships so I am okay with it
Also it's my fetish

>>42463693
No? I'm just typing what my current ideas are at 2 AM when i should soon be asleep. Could probably word it better some other time.

>>42463656
Obviously not before the ritual.

>>42463656
I see what you're saying and I agree she seems to have achieved a monopoly. It's honestly just poor management on my part as I should have seen that coming, so now I need to consider what the best way of rectifying the issue is. But it will have to come after the Joining.

>>42463727
I honestly don't see what else you could mean, the reason we'd never be able to do those things as we are now is because they are out of character, and detrimental to our goal, and the only way to change that is to change character and throw away the goal.

>>42463912
A couple more "Mistress doesn't need you, what do?" votes would do it. It just feels worse cause our attempt to meet sis was met with her being absent.

what the fuck this captcha difficulty

>>42464016
Our current goal is a very fragile one, helping our father is something that would be possible relatively fast. Or on the other hand, if he forbids us from it/disaprooves about it then suddenly we're without a goal. So i'd say we need some bigger goal later on anyways.

>>42464016
This>>42464099
Also good characters are people, their motivations and personalities change over time.

>>42464099
Becoming a fine witch is enough goal. We don't need more than that.

I'm looking forward to Mistress's opinion of our helping dad goal. She'll probably scold us for wanting to be a witch for something like that.

>>42464132
Basically this, our goal right now is something that's brought from our desire to help our father, but that could change just as fast if we feel like someone else needed help more or something like that.

>>42464151
I'll just say that i disagree, just "being a fine witch" would feel a bit too booring for me, things will happen in the story and those things may reveal a goal for our character that she didn't know she had and so on. And also, being a fine witch could mean a lot if things since witches are probably vastly different in their definition of fine.

>>42464099
Why would he disapprove help? He might disapprove the methods but that just makes helping him more difficult.

>>42464245
The methods which we are trying to help him with are the methods he disapproves, which means that then our witch learning would be for nothing since our whole current goal for becoming a witch is to use it for our father.

>>42464338
We do not currently have any methods to help him, being a witch opens up a lot of possibilities, and they're probably not all bad.

>>42464338
>for nothing
If Nadja seriously believes witching would be useless if she couldn't help her father, I hope Mistress smacks the shit out of her. God damn.

>>42464099
New goals are fine, but not having any is extremely problematic.

>>42464411
Well, our father doesn't really want help from anything that has to do with magic in any way from how i read it so that would be a problem considering all things witches do are kind of magical.

>>42464452
So do i.

>>42464476
Yeah.

>>42464476
We're a witch apprentice. We won't be without a goal as long as we're learning to be the witch.

It might not be the most glamorous goal, but it's a goal.

>>42464500
I think he just doesn't want anything dishonorable, which probably encompasses most whitchcraft, but I'm sure there's something.

>>42464778
Well I'm of the thought that what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

>>42464878
Yeah, but we should still try not to do anything too bad.

>>42464878
Indeed, if we're actually going to still try to help him after we've learned enough to do it (which we probably will), we have to make sure there's no suspicious thing about it at all.

>>42464951
we're not gonna kill anyone, maybe a bad luck hex, or a laxative potion....

>>42465056
It's probably better to somehow steal some of their business, rather than to just take them out.

>>42465278
That's true, the question is how?

>>42465056
That's how we will start for sure
And then one day father will realize what's happening and we will take over his mind because we know what's best for him

>>42465342
I now suddenly have an evil grin on my face and I'm not entirely sure why

>>42465299
I don't know, we'll probably figure it out once we know how hexes and such work.

>>42465342
Surely he will understand that this is the best way for all of us.
