>>48371330
I think the best thing we can do is just let her sleep. When she is ready to wake up and wants to chat, she'll find us.

Watch, she'll wake up when we get intimate with Fox Fire.

Kind of wish that we set up a light fight/squash match for ourselves, but its cool. Can't wait to see what neat stuff Fox Fire can get.

>>48371401
this

>>48371401
>>48371592
You pat Angel's head and kiss her cheek. She's had a hard, hard life. She deserves all the rest she can get.

You head downstairs and find Mister E still napping. You tip over the sofa and spill him on the floor.

Mr. S smiles from the sides.

"Awww...What the hell?" He groggily sits up on his elbows.

"Time to earn your keep." You say. "We have fights coming up and credits burning a hole in our pockets. Time to upgrade."

"Oh shit...you couldn't have waited huh?"

"No. Go get your tools. It's time."

"Sure sure sure..." He grumbles as he gets unsteadily to his feet. "You better keep winning like you are for all the trouble you give us."

"You better keep making me stronger for all the trouble you give me."

BEGIN UPGRADING:

FIRST OPTION:

DO WE UPGRADE ANY OF LESATHS STATS? WHAT STATS DO WE UPGRADE AND BY HOW MUCH?

>>48371726
So what do we wanna do?

>>48371726
So, in trying to keep a reserve fund, I would like to try and leave 10 credits on the table, for emergency repairs. As such we should have 10 spent on both Leseath and Fox Fire.

As of right now, the only stat I would like to upgrade is our Agility, up one point to 3. For a total of 4 credits. We can look to more stat upgrades after Fox's Fight/any additional fights that we have. As we should really look into wholesale stat upgrades after we get a few more useful tools.

>>48371984
It should be noted that if our dads think we can spend a little more, we can keep a reserve of 5. But I like having 10 on us at all times.

>>48371996
They're totally fine with draining the bank.

>>48371726
Increase Dexterity to 3, 4 credits

>>48371984
I'm assuming by agility you mean dexterity?

>>48372149
think it best just to go with that

>>48372297
>>48372019
>Increase Dexterity to 3

Upgrading is so boring. You sit and wait for hours while Mr. E takes out your quick-twitch polymer tendons and replace them with faster models.

When he's done you feel faster. And your practice jabs show it.

"Make sure you don't trip up on all that extra speed." Mr. E warns.

"Make sure you shut up and get back to work." You warn back.

COMMUNITY CREDITS: 26

NEXT OPTION: LESATH WEAPONRY

What weapons would you like? Would you like the anti-sword weapon from last thread?

If you don't like what's on the shop list. suggest a weapon or upgrade and I'll cook something up!

>>48372428
I'm in favor of the anti-sword, unless someone else has another idea?

>>48372428
Good to know these two are getting along so swimmingly after yesterday.

So with that in mind, the anti sword weapon was 6 credits, yes? Is it something we have to carry? Or is it kind of a passive weapon that can be activated? Can you spell it out for us again to give full description?

For now, I like Trifurcation and Thruster Punch as options, as they cover an additional aspect, our Mobility. Its gone up, but we're still a little squishy, being able to jet away and jet ahead is something useful, not to mention added power punches and something to tie robots down more for added mobility loss.

Not commiting till we have more answers on the Blob Shield. But just laying out some thoughts.

>>48372531
I also should mention that Force Corona is a viable alternative, if people want to hold off on Thruster Punch.

oh shit, I had no idea this was up.

>>48372556
We already have Force Corona.

>>48372496
>>48372531
BLOB SHIELD. This thick hand weapon can block projectiles and absorb the kinetic force of blows. And if something like an energy sword were to hit it the sword would become stuck...

The shield however is vulnerable to energy weapons, electricity, and extreme temperatures. Mechanically it provides +2 to your hand to hand stat while blocking and +2 to your armor.

The Blob Shield is its own hand weapon. But if you're willing to fork over 3 more credits you can get it attached as an upgrade to the piston or fixer.

>>48372556
I dunno, I sort of really like thruster punch.

>>48372428
Going with Thruster Punch, and leaning for Trifurication.

>>48372556
Don't we already have Force Corona

>>48372596
Shit, it's a hand weapon?
We need our hand slots badly.
And it's too much of a one-shot use kind of thing to want to attach it to a piston.
Maybe attach it to the tail so that tail can be defensive and offensive?

How does its blocking ability vs swords compare to the swords we can get in our tail?

>>48372596
If we attach it to the fixer, is there any way to then combine that with the plan b upgrade?

Thinking it could unbalance enemies using melee attacks against us or make sure that explosive projectiles blocked by it don't end up right next to us.

>>48372644
Another alternative I thought of is getting the jaws of death on our pilebunker, which would allow us to switch out offhand weapons depending on the fight.
but it's MAD expensive, and won't start seeing dividends for several fights.

>>48372644
>attack to the tail

That's an option!

>blocking ability

It's far better than trying to fence. Once it catches a sword the sword's stuck. The enemy will have to yank it out, and sense your horsepower is so high odds are they won't be able to unless they're built for power.

It also helps that it can be concealed and then deployed airbag style.

>>48372664
Yep! I didn't plan on combo options but now that I think about it it does have some nifty options with the plan B upgrade.

You could even launch the blob shield Captain America style!

>>48372703
>>48372644
okay, these are my posts, and I've thought on it a bit.
We should get either thruster punch or trifurication, or both. This will allow us to ditch the fixer for a fight and switch to poofy shield.

This is what I'd like. If you guys want to spend the extra cash mixing the poofy shield and the fixer, then that's your choice.

Question, how do we upgrade our Willpower again? Last I checked it was a dump stat of sorts for us, and I'm just nervous.

>>48372664
This was my post.

I think it would be an interesting thing to do, but it is a fair divergence from our usual style and I am not sure if we can really afford it yet. I would like to consider something like this so that we don't have to constantly switch weapons.

Other than that, I agree with >>48372744
on either thruster punch or trifurication

>>48372822
don't we just pay for it?
It is kind of low.
our REAL dump stat, however, is our targetting system.

It looks like we want the shield, so I'll go ahead and fix that up.

If you want to attach it to a hand weapon just spend 3 more Credits.

"My word..." Fox Fire pushes her straw sunhat back to better look at your new hand weapon. Its a translucent dark blue circle that radiates from your forearm. You look out through the shield at Fox. "Hey! You look kind of funny through this goop!"

Fox Fire stares back at you through the shield "You look like yourself...just more blue."

With a flick of your wrist the blob shield retracts into your arm with a PLOP noise. With another flick you bring it back out.

"Nanite colony. Its similar to a material they use to line mines on ateroid jobs. Dampens kinetic force, but energy and concentrated temperatures fuck with the nanite's communication and causes it to liquefy."

Fox Fire gently touches the shield and has to pull with all her might just to get her finger free.

"That's something I added. The nanites form molecular bonds with whatever they touch. Very, very sticky."

CREDITS: 20

>>48372846
>>48372822
It's not too late to go back and bump up stats.

INCREASE WILLPOWER?

>>48372846
Well, in that case, I'm voting we up our Willpower. Targeting system being low is understandable since, IIRC, we're kitted out largely to drag people into CQC range even if they're out of it and then GnP them.

>>48372890
I am up for thruster punch.
And how much does a willpower increase cost? Like three? sure.

>>48372890
>INCREASE WILLPOWER?
I say hold off for now, it can wait until our loadout is more complete.

>>48372907
>>48372933
>>48372958
So far one for holding out and two for bumping Willpower. Willpower is currently at 2, so it would cost 4 credits to bring it to 3.

>>48372890
I don't believe we need to add it to a weapon. Now that we know it is a hidden weapon that can be activated, I think we can leave it as is. And we just use the Fixer hand to hold it for now.

>>48372933
It will cost 4, same as Dexterity.

I think we either go willpower or thruster punch. We can affoard to spend more on ourselves that Fox Fire, but, I still wish to upgrade her a but, and to do that we need funds.

If anything, we can look to the purse in the fight against Sherry, or a quick squash match, or both, to help us and upgrade our weapons before Yurei fight.

For what it is worth, I am leaning toward just Thruster Punch for now.

If we have enough after Fox Fire's upgrades, maybe, but for now I would like 8-12 credits for Fox Fire to play with.

>>48373023
>>48372984
I change my mind from getting willpower to holding off for now.
We'll get an extra next fight.
It's mostly a luxury thing at this point, we won't NEED it against any of our upcoming opponents.

>>48373052
>>48373023
Alright, adding thruster punch now.

You grin as you feel your upward momentum equalize with gravity. For a moment you feel weightless, as if you were actually in space...

You're grinning when you land on your feet. "This might actually be my favorite thing you've made..." You hate giving the creep a compliment, but damn it, your fist is now a space rocket. You like that. A lot.

"Tch. That barely took anything out of the warchest. All I did was apply a little primitive rocketry to your pile bunker. It's nothing special."

That's where he's wrong.

COMMUNITY CREDITS: 18

Anything else you'd like for Lesath or MOVE TO FOX FIRE'S UPGRADES?

>>48373163
I think we're good for now, let's amp up Fox with all the craziest shit we can afford.

>>48373163
I think we're OK. we can revisit this if we have a big wad of cash left over and want anything else.

But we don't HAVE to spend all our cash. I mean, we can keep it in reserve for repairs. which I bet we will need at some point.

>>48373163
>MOVE TO FOX FIRE'S UPGRADES?
Yes.

>>48373163
>>MOVE TO FOX FIRE'S UPGRADES?
Let's get to it! Show me the good stuff, dealer.

>>48373203
Agreed. Think about what would have happened had Fox Fire melted that Fixer arm off? Probably would have been a fair nummber of credits.

>>48373163
Fox is up! Time to see the good stuff!

>>48373195
If by crazy, you mean up her glaring weaknesses as brought about from our fight against her, right?

>>48373373
I was thinking more along the lines of illusion clones made of plasma, short range teleporting (if that's possible) and hidden laser claws for CQC, but your ideas good too.

>>48373195
>>48373203
>>48373204

"Now for Fox Fire." You say leading Mr. E by the hand over to where she lays on a work bench waiting.

"Damn it...I can't believe you're actually upgrading her. And I can't believe I'm letting you..."

"She's one of us now Mr. E." Mr. S says. "We take care of our own. She fights for us and we take care of her."

"Fine fine fine fine fine." Mr. E stands over Fox Fire, ready to run a schematic diagnostic.

"Lesath, are you sure he can improve me? I'm the result of so many great minds of the Yakuza."

Mr. E smirks. "Oh...Okay. Now I actually do want to fix you up."

FIRE GEM UPGRADES:

Super-Napalm: Installs a small device in her palm of ONE of her fire-gems that mixes in a sticky chemical that bonds molecularly much like your blob shield. The chemical becomes super heated when exposed to fire, absorbing the heat of fox fire's flames to melt through armor.

-cost: 5, 2 Credits provides 3 ammo. Starts with 3.
-Replaces the 1d6 damage over time effect with a 1d6+2
-Marks targets. The super-heated chemical shows up easily to scans.
-makes Fox Fire's fires resistant to being put out.


Fireball caster: Modifies a flame jewel to be able to fire a ball of fire that can move and snake around targets.
-Cost: 5
-Fireball only deals 5 damage plus splash and fire effect, but homes in on opponents, allowing missed rolls to be re-rolled

Ray of the Sun: A modification to a single fire jewel that allows Fox Fire to sacrifice the fire effect and multi-part splash damage to super-heat and fire a round that can potentially disable a part in a single shot.
-Cost 9 +1 per shot. Start with 3 shots.
-Deals 30 damage
-ignores anti-fire measures


FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: UPGRADE FOX FIRE'S STATS? WHICH ONE?

>>48373547
Let's upgrade her targeting and horsepower first and foremost, those seem like her preferred stats.

After that, Ray of the Sun is way too amazing to pass up.

>>48373547
Boost Armor by 1.

Also DODON RAY- I mean Ray of the Sun.

>>48373547
get her an additional armor, and then get the fireball caster.
How many fireballs can we operate at once with fireball caster?
exactly how much of a bullet hell of seeking fireballs are we looking at?

>>48373547
Armor is a must. Improved to 2 at least. To 3 if we're feeling particularly paranoid.

Lesath w/Fixers + Fox Fire with Ray of the Sun =
Instant Disable Victory. Two to the legs, one to wherever the hell else we feel is important. Shit's brutal, mang.

>>48373439

Short Range Teleporter: Sadly your heart-brain is far too simple and primitive to be able to use this ara ara but fortunately you know a certain bot with an advance CPU...

-Cost 25
-An experimental miniaturization of the space tunnels used across the solar system. It allows for Fox Fire to make a will check to teleport within 360 feet. It allows her to use her willpower as a defense mod against all attacks representing how she teleports out of the way
-Jesus god its a teleportation device!

>>48373608
You can make 1 fireball per turn, but they stick around afterwards. If you spend enough turns you can make a whole lot of them, or plant them around the arena as you hide like the kitsune you are.

>>48373663
...We'll save it for later and a what-the-fuck surprise. That's a little costly for us at the moment.

>>48373663
Well, that is appropriately overpriced for it's crazy ass power. I'd say hold off on it for now, but I'm glad I gave us something super badass for the future.

>>48373547

Can I ask for more info on the uses of marking a target? Is it just going to be anti-stealth or will there be other upgrades from it? I am thinking either increased targeting or possibly using it to trigger some sort of trap.

Even without that, extra damage over time. Might be good with the teleport upgrade >>48373663

>>48373761
Didn't see the cost on the teleport.
Still could work with illusions or we could save it for later.

>>48373547
Up that armour. She is going to need that buffed, shes our ranged character, but we need her to not be brittle. I hope Mr.E has some super strong super lightweight idea in mind. She can keep her figure that way.

I want to see all the other upgrades before I go too crazy here.

>>48373663
That ability...my god...

But considering that we are currently an outfit with a roster of 2 and not a lot of money...that is very very far down the line. Can't wait to see what overpowered 25 credit item we can find for Lesath.

So what do we have for when our enemies get a little too close for comfort?

>>48373663
>>48373547
I really want fireball casters.
INFINITY HOMING MISSILES sounds really good.

...I just realized she has a personal Force Field that's an instant cast and bumps her armor up to 4 temporarily.

So I dunno if we need the armor up that urgently anymore...how'd we get past it last time? Critfail on her part?

>>48373935
More or less, yeah. We rolled just high enough to pierce the forcefield and she couldn't get the harpoon out. Sure its a freak chance, but we should always prepare ourselves for someone who can break through it, or more freak hits like ours. We don't know how it fares against energy attacks, after all.

>>48373809
Armor:2

CREDITS:18

>>48373761
It's basically an anti stealth feature. You can turn invisible or project radar jamming chaff but you still stick out if you're covered in golden glowing molten sludge.

WHAT NEXT ON THE SHOPPING LIST?

>>48373439

Laser claws: Channels the power of a fire jewel through fox fires fingertips, shredding metal.

-cost 7
-inflicts 15 damage
-no burn or splash, but can be used when grappled or in a situation where the jewel flame thrower isn't too useful
-kitten has claws!

Plasma shadow: This upgrade Foxs illusion generator allows her to use her illusions to hide plasma discharges.
-illusions now hurt! Deals 5 damage and splash and fire when touched

>>48373979
True.

>>48374006
And the shadow costs 5 by the way

>>48374006
I still think HOMING FIRE is a good strategery, but I guess I'm alone in that.
Combine that with plasma shadow later, and suddenly we're a touhou boss.

>>48374006
Oh god the Plasma Shadow sounds pretty gnarly. Bet it costs a pretty penny though.

The Claws are also pretty damn dynamite. They retractable?

>>48374006
Definitely go with Laser Claws, and maybe Plasma Shadow if it's not too expensive.

>>48374053
Yep!

>>48374006
Backing Laser Claws.

>>48374006
I think we could do fun things mixing the homing fire and plasma shadow.

Those are my vote assuming no more upgrades show up

Hooming fireballs plus the Plasma Shadow sounds like fun combo. Everything everywhere is burny. They need to find kitten to stop the homing attacks, but all the kittens are way too hot!

>>48374006
Shouldn't we be at 16 credits, or did E manage to boost Fox's armor for free?

I'm torn between the Laser Claws and Ray of the Sun. Getting both would leave us at 0 creds.

As is, I'm going to go with the Laser Claws, so Fox isn't ruined in CQC like with us.

>>48374050
Screw it, we can afford all three. But lets not forget Ray of the Sun, we still need that.

>>48374006
did we do any research on fire's opponent?
what's her deal?

>>48374074
Excellent. Always love a good surprise.

So here is my thoughts. Unless Booker has some other secret upgrades we don't know about, here are my thoughts.

Laser Claws are a must, that will help those that saw last fight and think they instantly have a strategy.

Then, I think we either go for Fireball Caster or Super-Napalm. But only the one. We should keep the 10 damage blast for now. That way we don't actually decrease our burst potential.

>>48374144
We have not yet, but thats what Mr.S and a possible field trip to the pits are for.

And once we have the upgrades done. Its time to find out what data Fox Fire got from us!

>>48374060
>>48374053
>laser claws

CREDITS:11

Fox Fire flicks a Crimson nail out of her finger and stares at it curiously. "I am not so sure...I don't feel comfortable about hand to hand engagement. I'd much rather attack from a distance."

"You got your tail kicked in because you were made to go invisible and blast away with your flames. That didn't work because Lesath drew you in close and trapped you. This will give you a prayer when trapped again."

"Hmm...yes." Fox fire flicks a fistful of claws. "I think I understand your point."

NEXT BUY?

>>48374181
Ray of the Sun, PLEASE.

>>48374181
we've got two paths.

Either A. ray of sun

or B. shadow clones and fireballs.

I'm a B man.

>>48374181
Plasma shadow or fireball

>>48374181
Ray of the Sun

>>48374208
As useful as Ray of the Sun will be, I think Plasma Shadow and Fireballs will be the better option for now. Backing B.

>>48374181
Fireballs. Lets leave Plasma Shadow for now. Its so good, but I want reserves. Especially with higher cost weapons available, and increases in stat costs.

Plasma Shadow is Fox Fire's version of us and Willpower. Save it for the future.

>>48374208
B is tempting, but then if her opponent gets a way to resist fire, A would be necessary. Can we look her up real quick before deciding on what to get?

>>48374270
DO YOU WANT TO POSTPONE FURTHER UPGRADES TO DO SOME RECON? YOU WILL BE RACING THE CLOCK TO GET INTELL AND THEN GET BACK IN TIME FOE THE UPGRADES.

>>48374412
Fuck if that caps lock isn't terrifying, but I'd rather make an informed decision about our upgrades. Mostly because I'm terrified of how this will go.

>>48374412
Not >>48374270, but I say no. If they are fire immune we have the claws and use the illusions to get close. If fire AND illusions don't work,we are screwed anyway. That is assuming there is no QUICK recon we can do that doesn't leave us at risk of running out of time.

>>48374412
Let's not, hope for the best. Lesson to learn for next time, ideally.

so, how soon are we to our next hacking/getting hacked session?
It's been so long

>>48374412
Well I was hoping we could look her up online or call someone familiar with the fighters, but if not, just do upgrades and remember to get in plenty of info ahead of the fights next time.

>>48374527
To be fair, she's a Mafia bot. Maybe we can check the archives, surely there are some recorded matches somewhere. And we can always ask Ash too. As she was a former Mafia bot.

Kinda wish I could gleam more about how Sherry could fight by her name alone. But my Arabic mythology game is pits.

>>48374496
You never know anon, patience.

>>48374596
I wish that guy who was writing side-hacks about another bot would come back.
I am still interested.

>>48374596
>Sherry could fight by her name alone
Sherezade was a princess/harem girl belonging to a sultan that killed every bride after consumating because he only liked virgins or something like that.
When her turn came she, instead, told him one story every night for 1001 nights before having sex with him. Before he could dispose of her, he realized he was madly in love with her.

So, i guess illusions and hacking?

>>48374674
Who?

Oh, that'd be me then
Sorry for the hiatus, had work related problems. That and me being a whiny bitch.

Right now i am rewriting my old stuff, should have the first chapter redone by the end of the session.

>>48374881
sweet

>>48374847
Well, that's worrying in the extreme. Is her skillset is like a close range variation of Fox... fuck.

>>48374912
Probably something like planting a bomb or slow acting desintegrator on you and fucking around until there is nothing left of you.
Well, THAT, or she is a standard fighter and made to look exotic and appealing as an afterthought

>>48375030
Fucking hell... I'm going to be a nervous wreck for this entire fight.

>>48375030
Its a quest run by QG. You and I both know that he wouldn't name the bot something so specific as an afterthought.

>>48375056
And this is a relatively low stakes battle we have here...thank goodness for that, eh?

It should be a fun battle, at the very least. And I am partial to having a rival like Sherry. Adds a fun dynamic.

>>48374527
A quick look online is possible, but there's only so much a recording can tell you. The only way to get a full read is to have Mr E see her personally and get some readings off his tools.

You fire up the Data net projector and within seconds you're browsing an archive of fights. You find Sherry's fight from last night and put it on.

She fights with that scarf of hers. She wraps it around herself to strengthen her punches and kicks and around her opponents to break their joints and immobilize them. It moves like a thing alive, quick as lightning, and her opponent wilts and moans in its embrace.

Needless to say she won. Her opponent was a sleek looking gynoid outfitted with sharp white wings named Haniel. She tried to fight off the ribbon with mighty slashes of her wings but it snaked around them and delivered powerful lashes until she fell.

Sherry took her time finishing her. She slowly wrapped her ribbon around the fallen angel limb by limb starting with her toes and ending with her face. She waved and blew kisses to the cheering crowd that chanted her name. The proud angel struggled to get a wing free even when they were squeezed together by the ribbon, even when Sherry tied a bow between them and shouted "Taa Da!". It was only when Sherry placed a bare brown foot on her precious wings that her pride finally broke and she mewles out her submission.

Sherry, very much the entertainer, performed a dance for the crowd while her ribbon hacked Haniel until she gasped out her conqueress' name.

"The thing is some sort of super circuitry. It's capable of hacking what it touches."

"Ara ara. That is of no concern to me. Can my claws cut it?"

"How the hell should I know? I'd need to scan the thing just to know what it's made of."

>>48375030
Could also be some sort of willpower reducer rather than a physical effect. Just one more thing to worry about.

>>48375095
Oooh how fun, someone who seems to play in Lesath's wheelhouse. Personality wise, at least.

>>48375095
seems like even if it's not flammable, SHE might be.
Our plan of attack should involve seperating her from her scarf by just toasting her, and the area between her and the scarf with fire. a keepaway game, if you will.

>>48375143
we're not very good at the whole entertainer thing though. I mean, we try to put on entertaining fights, but I bet you DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS we can't dance to save our life.

>>48375154
>Can't dance to save our life.
...


EDDDDDDDDD WE NEED YOU!

>>48375095
Huh, the scarf drains willpower and probably has an exceptional DOT debuff. Well, we cant let her touch us, but with our skillset that shouldn't be impossible.

>>48375180
hey, you know who CAN dance?
Our new hire.
Think she could, uh... give us lessons?

>>48375095
So the Plasma Shadow and Homing Fireballs are a good bet. Stopping to grapple becomes infinitely harder if she can neither grab a solid target nor stay still with all those orbs chasing her.

>>48375219
AND we can call in fireballs for an assist if we ever get wrapped.
>>48375095
how fireproof is fox?

>>48375219
Yep, fireballs and Plasma Shadow are a must at this point.

>>48375197
Hire? I believe the word is friend, anon.

CREDITS:6

Fox fire guides a floating ball of fire with her eyes as it moves around the warehouse.

"Assume that ribbon is fireproof. She will not be. And this will find her."

"You're going to kick her ass kitten." You reassure her with a hug.

"I shall fight for you Lesath...fight and win!"

MORE SPENDING?

>>48375255
that should do for now. we're low on cash.

>>48375197
Claws as castanets?

>>48375255
I still think we should get Plasma Shadow.

>>48375255
Plasma Shadow, really want to make targetting Kiteen hard and punishing to get wrong.

>>48375255
Oh, can i ask you a question about hacking? It is for consistency mostly.
What is the "standard" hacking tool?
So far i've used
>Feather-like construct filled with nanobots
>Mechanic tentacle coming from the wrist
>Same as the last, except coming from somewhere inside the "vagina". Might rewrite it as an extensive clit
>Prolapsed, spiked hacking port made to cause as much damage as possible
Also, does a gynoyd need to "insert" into another to hack her or can be done "remotely"?

>>48375309
>standard
>in a world of fetish bots
that might be a really hard question for bookkeeper, I imagine it varies wildly.
And ranged hacking would make a lot of this fighting shit moot, so it's probably clamped down on in some way.

this is just my reasoned guesses.

>>48375340
By ranged i meant as not necessarily touching her opponent "there", but still needing to make some sort of physical contact

>>48375364
Well that scarf seems to work as long as it touches the chassis, no need to penetrate, just bind.

>>48375417
I think it might actually be penetrating, by the description.
>>48375364
and I would much prefer it if penetrating were common

>>48375309
Standard hacking is just a remote hacking. When the surrendered gynoid drops their defenses its easy to hack them remotely. But it takes an insanely advance system to hack a fighting bot remotely.

When it comes to finishing off an opponent little eccentricities like ours and Fox Fire's tails are bonuses.

>>48374881
Great to see you're still at it! Fan Fire is a potential opponent before Yurai. I'm curious to see if the anons send Fox Fire or Lesath after her.

>>48375197
Well imagine that! Ash ended up useful after all!

>>48375232
She's not totally fireproof but she's extremely resistant. She reduces all fire damage by 5 in addition to her armor.

>>48375291

CREDITS: 1

"Whew!" Mr. E says wiping sweat off his brow. "That...took some doing. But try it now."

Fox Fire gestures and a ghostly image of her materializes. Mr. E tosses a piece of plastic at it and it vaporizes with a hiss.

"Now that is how you use illusions."

"It won't do much against the cape...but if she were to punch or kick it I would certainly gain an advantage over her..."

GET INTIMATE WITH FOX THE NIGHT BEFORE HER FIGHT?

DON'T GET INTIMATE. MICKEY SAID WOMEN WEAKEN LEGS?

Ash is finally awake. You catch her furtively watching the upgrading out of the corner of your eye. She ducks behind a wall when she thinks you're looking.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ASH?

>>48375536
>what do you want to say to ash
I just realized I can't dance nearly as well as my competition.

>>48375536
>get intimate with fox?
mmmaybe that's up to her.
Being the one fighting and all.
I'm totally up for it if she wants to do it, though.

>>48375536
No getting intimate for now, check on Ash and see how she's doing. Welcome her to our lair and provide more reassurances, try to gauge her reactions before offering our quasi-hacking therapy method.

>>48375536
>GET INTIMATE WITH FOX THE NIGHT BEFORE HER FIGHT?

She deserves to know what she's coming home to, and it's been awhile.

>WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ASH?

Ask her what's wrong, and whether or not she would like to get in bed with us and Kitten tonight.

>>48375602
Voting this sequence- although we can cuddle and pet the kitten.

>>48375669
Seconding this if we don't sleep with Kitten tonight.

>>48375536
>DON'T GET INTIMATE. MICKEY SAID WOMEN WEAKEN LEGS?

>Ask Ash for help, we "don't know how to do a thing good like she can."

Verbatim, and sound pathetic about it

If we just stomp over to her and demand lessons, she's never going to get her confidence back

>>48375536
Couples dance lesson that ends in intimacy.

>>48375536
I am for getting intimate, but not until we spend a great deal of time making sure Ash is comfortable. And only if Fox wants to do so. And I wouldn't mind some more Art stuff. Always down for art stuff.

>Say to Ash
"Its alright, you can come out if you want."
If she doesn't excuse ourself and Fox Fire out of the room and thank the dads for their help today.

Then we go upstairs and just talk with her, ask her how she's doing. If she feels like anything is wrong. We can do it in our room and paint while we speak with her, if we want.

>>48375536
>When it comes to finishing off an opponent little eccentricities like ours and Fox Fire's tails are bonuses.

Ok, got it

>WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ASH?
"Hey, feeling better?"

>>48375197
Actually I was calling for Ed, one of our art friends. Because I can't help but inagine her failing/flailing around in his style.

>>48375728
I support this.
I like this quite a lot.
>>48375754
Oh, my, yes. Draw horrible flailing.

>>48375751
I will support this as well.

>>48375759
Also, if it was a formal dance, you know she'd be wearing the tux right?

>>48375728
Only if we can get our buttler bot to awkwardly play Careless Whisper in a robo-sax

>>48375778
I don't expect more than stripper dancing lessons, but that would also be humorous.

>>48375851
What if she is a dancer-fighter of sorts?

>>48375669
>>48375679
>>48375717
>>48375736
>>48375751
"Hey there...you can come out if you want."

A small horn and a half peeks out form behind a wall.

"It's alright Ash..."

Ash walks out, hands nervously clasped behind her back. "I-I'm sorry I was spying. I just wanted to know what you were doing."

"Eh, it's cool. You're apart of the group now Ash. You can watch if you want...just don't talk to Mr. E. He's not a nice guy. At all."

Ash blinks. "O-okay...I just didn't want to get in the way of anyone."

"You are't in anyone's way. In fact, would you like to help me with something?"

"I...can help you?" She smiles. "Really? What can I do?"

"Well...I don't know how to do a thing good like you can." You say with a nervous scratch of your head.

"There's something I'm good at?"

"Yeah! Dancing! I got to learn how to dance! I can't let my rivals get ahead of me!"

"Are you serious? You want me to teach you...to dance?"

"Can you? Please Ash?"

"...You asked me please." Ash whispers in amazement. "Y-YES! Yes I will teach you!"

Huh. Turns out tomboy has got some serious moves.

"Alright...squat, run your hands down your legs...let your hands guide the eyes of the audience as you rise up...good!" Ash has started to open up sense you started your lesson. She grooves as your butler bot blares a booming techno beat and you do your best to imitate her. Her tail wraps around her leg as she kicks above her head. You almost take the ceiling out with your tail. Her arm swings to her side as the other caresses it with long black nails. You sort of look like you're scratching."It's been so long sense I could dance for someone I didn't hate..."

You aren't on her level of grace, not yet. But you ARE slowly getting it. You shimmy and shake but manage to put together a routine with some life in it. Your precious tale just doesn't want to cooperate though. It's nowhere near as sensual as Ash's and you just don't know what to do with it, and Ash doesn't know either. So it just kind of...stays there. You groove on and its just sitting there.

"...Lesath? What are you doing?" Fox Fire tilts her head as she peeks in on your dance lesson.

"...I'm dancing."

"Oh. Oh of course. Obviously."

GO TO INTIMACY OR GO TO BATTLE?

>>48376305
I would like to see intimacy.
But if nobody is in the mood, which is entirely believable given the weird nature of hacking, go to battle.

Also, damn you tail, not being as good at sexydancing as her spade tail.

>>48376305
>Use the tail to wrap up kitten and drag her into the dance lesson

>>>/qst/

>>48376305
I'd say play with our Kitten a little, and promise her more once she wins. And invite Angel to play as well, she needs some happy times I think.

>>48376305
Intimacy and/or dance lessons, if she wishes to do so.

>>48376335
Clearly we will need to upgrade our tail to be more prehensile.

Or hell, we just like it as is. There are much more fun tail upgrades to try. Like the idea of basically pulling an octopus and spritzing some sort of gel/ink/whatever as a blinding agent/piss them off to make mistakes agent

>>48376015
If she isn't we should try to make her one in the future. And then all we need is that Angel bot and we have a dance battling tag team.

>>48376305
Intimacy, it is time, yes.

>>48376461
we're sort of more tank than gynoid, really.
It's hard to sexy dance when you have a pilebunker the size of a barrel, a killer tail, and a beartrap on your arm.

>>48376348
>>48376378
You decide to play with Kitten. You wrap your tail around her waist and pull her in close as you gives a little squeal of surprise.

"Oh she says. Of course she says." Fox Fire leans in your arms as you stare deep into her eyes. "How about you dance?"

"I don't know how..."

"Neither do I..."

You feel yourself slowly start to rise off the floor. "Well...I do like moving in the wind from time to time...I suppose you could call it dancing."

"Dancing or not, I like it...Ouch!" Your head hits the ceiling.

"Sorry, sorry..." Fox Fire apologizes and hovers down a little.

You hear a happy, lilting laugh come from below. You look down and see Ash covering her mouth with both hands.

You know how to make it less awkward...

You laugh.

Fox Fire laughs.

Ash resumes laughing.

You all laugh.

>>48376335
>>48376435
>If everyone is okay with it

You would have to explain to Ash exactly what it is you're doing, and that could get awkward. You might want to wait until after the fight to get intimate.

So it depends.

TALK TO ASK, GET INTIMATE

OR

GO TO FIGHT

>>48376643
>TALK TO ANGEL, GET INTIMATE

And make sure to invite her to it, if she's comfortable with it. Try and get Fox to explain what it's like when we hack, how loved we made her feel.

>>48376643
honestly it depends on if foxfire is of the "having a girl waiting for you makes you invincible" or "sex before a match makes you weak" mentality.
Both have their strong points, and it's SERIOUS BUSINESS when discussed.

Wait until after the match if she has any qualms. If she's up for it, go for it.

That is the most direct command I can give here, as it's largely based on individual temperment.

>>48376643
>GO TO FIGHT

>>48376643
>GO TO FIGHT

>>48376643
Go to fight

But let our hands wander over Kitten a bit and promise her sweet rewards after the match. Let Angel hear.

>>48376643
Go to kick some Ess

Seconding this

>>48376817
>I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
It's not that, people enjoyed the "first draft".
It is mostly that, me being the one who wrote them, i look at them in a way that the flaws simply jump at me.
Most people reading them already know what to expect and won't experience that same feeling.
I've corrected some grammar, fixed typos, rewrote whole paragrafs because of awkward prose, added some dialogue and context. So far, i am content, but that is until that "yay, i'm done!" high is gone.

I'll probably shorten the second chapter and add some of the third on it to make it less edgy. And to have it finished by today.

Guys, i think i figured out the motivation of Mr. E

Since much of the prostitution market belongs to gynoids and their handlers, many of the "seamtress guild" have risen their prices exorbitantly, so only those who can pay the "meat toll" can enjoy good ol' fashioned escorts. Mr. E, being the complete opposite of a robosexual, has taken the personal mission of disbanding all the robot sex rings so human prostitutes become the norm again, and therefore affordable. The man just wanted his whores, man.

You decide to have everyone get some rest tonight. You can deal with explanations and celebrations after Fox has won her match.

.....

You're on the other side of the underground force bubble this time. You're on the side with the air conditioning and velvet couches and marble floors.

And yet your heart calls out to be on the side of the concrete floor and ancient brick walls.

Mr. P is the only one to notice your apprehension behind your neutral expression. "D-don't worry..." He says putting a hand on your shoulder. "S-she'll win..."

You never worried about someone other than yourself in a fight before...you sort of wish you were in there instead of Fox Fire. But she's a fighter like you. She has the desire to compete. You can no more deny her than you can deny yourself.

Mr. E sits with rented whore bots clinging to his legs. "Alright everybody. Let's enjoy the show right."

You flash him a glance that makes the color drain from his face. "I mean I hope she wins you know...I worked on her and everything..."

You stare into the arena and wait, body tensing for the fight to begin.

....

New powers. New kimono. New opponent. Oh me oh my Amaterasu. Life outside your garden is more exciting then you could have ever imagined.

You hover out onto the arena floor and float in place calmly and quiet while you meditate on the battle to come and clear your mind.

Your opponent has another idea of how to begin a battle. She comes out sashaying on her bare feet, her purple circuit scarf encircling her limbs enticingly. Golden bracelets and anklets jingle as she dances up to you with a broad, cocky smile.

"Who wants to see me teach this Japanese bitch how to roll over and beg?" She shouts to the crowd. When they shout back they she shuts her eye and lifts her arms and basks in the praise. She twirls and points at finger at you. "I'm not a cruel mistress. All I demand is submission from my lessers.

And theeeeere goes my theory

>>48377150
I do, but I also want to reduce Mr.E to a sniveling piece of shit clutching the ashes of everything he hold dear before we tear his spine out. And then we free the robots from slavery.

>>48377141
"You bow down like a good doggie and kiss my feet and I'll let you go. No hack, no fuss. I won't even take a part!"

No. Never again. NEVER again.

She's trying to demoralize you. She's trying to get you mad.

She's only succeeded in one of these things.

ENGAGE IN BANTZ OR TUNE HER OUT?

>>48377216
>TUNE HER OUT

We must be calm as the ocean breeze (or something poetic like that) in order to defeat her. Our fury will be know in our flames.

>>48377216
I don't think foxfire is the bantery one of our group.
Which is funny, because she is probably much better at it.

>>48377216
No bantz. We did that long ago and it got us in trouble. I think we can let this one go.

>>48377298
I dunno, does she view hacking in a different light after her own experience? I wonder.

Also, Booker, do we have a W/L rate for Sherry? These stats amuse me.

>>48377216
>ENGAGE IN BANTZ
We need to call her a whore while maintaining our class. Something along the lines of:

"Oh, so lonely you must partake of a dog's kinship?"

I'm open for other suggestions.

Yeah, you have a point.

>Can we?
Yes we can.

>>48377377
Sherry is 10-2

>No bantz

Lesath showed you that your weakness lies in arrogance. So you maintain a silent humility.

"Oh come on! Not even going to bark little doggi?" Sherry's ribbon twirls around her, ready for battle. "Don't worry. I'll make you bark..."

You create a shadow. Right on top of her.

Perhaps it is the heat of the moment, perhaps you accidentally projected what was on your mind, but whatever the reason is your illusion of yourself looks very...Lesath like. Lesath if drawn by a five year old with crayons.

She turns with a start to find "you" inside her guard and with practiced reflexes wraps he scarf around her fist like a boxer's wrap and punches...

The illusion erupts in a bright flash that takes the audience breathe away.

Sherry picks herself off the ground with her ribbon, damaged but still able to fight.

"That was...new."

The old Fox Fire would say something right now...but the new one knows the price of carelessness.

The new Fox Fire is stronger than the old.

Sherry wraps herself with her ribbon and quickly beats out the flame. She's got a good counter for your burn effect...but that's far from your only trick.

"Okay...Okay..." Sherry calmly closes her eyes and raises the two ends of her ribbon like antenna. You know what she's doing. She's focusing, trying to crack your invisibility. It's a risky move that leaves her very vulnerable, but if she can find you...

"What the hell is that?" She hesitates for a moment as she stares at the fireballs. You think you're starting to make her nervous.

She watches the orbs warily and curls her scarf protectively over herself as she tries once again to crack your invisibility, but then you have the fireballs start chasing her.

"That's not real...it's just light!" She says as she moves away from the fireballs pulled by her ribbon.

ROLL 1D6+5

>>48378237
We can detonate them at any time, and we can have them chase her. Good call on that!

Rolled 5 + 5 (1d6 + 5)

>>48378337
Got to love psychological warfare.

>>48378337
There no way in hell we'll be this lucky... but could she be a pyrophobe?

>>48378393
Remember that Fox IS hot shit
Lesath wouldn't get that bonus

>>48378359
OVERHEAT: 2

"Damn! So I can't find you! So what, I'll just go back to what I was doing, this time I'll get you if I have to wallop every square inch of this arena, starting with those stupid floating lights!"

Before she can can gather up the momentum for another whirlwind you strike...

WEAPON/SKILL?

>>48378446
If it ain't broke don't fix it: either more fireballs, or another clone, whichever would be more effective.

>>48378446
9 Tails, lets lower the will and make us harder to hit.

>>48378446
Direct attack this time to freak her out. Fireball to wherever she's not looking.

>>48378485
Changing to this, so long as we can drain her and remain in stealth.

>>48378446
Fireball to the arm gripping the scarf.

Rolled 3 + 4 (1d6 + 4)

>>48378474
>>48378491
>>48378553
>Direct fireball

You fire off a fireball to curve around and hit her while she looks at the other two.

Hey, bookie. Was this how Fox was supossed to fight against us if we didn't rush her?

Rolled 6 + 3 (1d6 + 3)

>>48378618
Your fireball sails on home and hits right in the arm. Sherry drops to one knee and cries out in pain as her ribbon smothers the fire.

"STOP THAT" she yells as she lets rip a desperate whirlwind!

Rolled 3 + 3 (1d6 + 3)

>>48378708
Oh ho! Lucked out there!

>>48378718

>>48378684
We pulled the miracle. I do wonder what a Booker written version of our hack would have been like.

I still imagine that our paint canons would have been turned on us at some point.

Then again, it likely wouldn't be something in Fox Fire's wheelhouse. More for a braty similar to us, type of character.

>>48378747
Did the draw cancel both rolls out?

>>48378718
>>48378747
OVERHEAT: 1

She kneels panting, hands on her harem pants covered knees. "...Did I get you?" She whispers to herself.

No. She has not. Neither has she gotten your fireballs.

WEAPON/SKILL?

>>48378795
In case of a draw I roll against the second roll.

>>48378775
>I do wonder what a Booker written version of our hack would have been like.
Dude, have you been reading her descriptions? She has a serious hard on for humilliation. And probably a foot fetish

>>48378838
She looks tired. I vote for finishing up with the claws

>>48378838
Now lets fuck with her head.

9 TAILS ACTIVATE

>>48378684
Does firefox have a signature finishing move?

>>48378838
9 tails sounds good with me.

>>48378840
I meant Fox on Lesath. Sherry is pretty evident.

>>48378858
Remember, close quarters is our biggest weakness. The only reason Lesath won so easily is because she instantly negated 90% of Foxes arsenal. The claws are there to break us out of a bad situation, not get us out of our preferred range.

>>48378838
Nine-Tails

Rolled 1 + 3 (1d6 + 3)

>>48378880
Not really, she just blasts opponents until they surrender. But it's never too late to pick up new tricks...

>>48378859
>>48378885
>>48378899

You activate your 9 tails, sending waves of disorienting garbage information toward Sherry...

ROLL 1D6+5

>>48378858
What this guy (>>48378890) said. Hubirus will get us if we do that. Stick with what we know and break it out if it get dangerous.

>>48378890
Does this mean we Fox is a "boss" character?
She has lots of bonuses, she idly makes attacks that must be avoided with positioning and movement, only has one attack that opens her to counterattack, requires figuring out a pattern to beat

>>48378934

Rolled 3 + 5 (1d6 + 5)

>>48378934

Rolled 2 + 5 (1d6 + 5)

>>48378934
Here we go

>>48378938
She's a zoning character. The Dhalsim, if you will.
Keeps you at a distance, not much recourse in close range. We helped that out a bit, but it cost us a big wad of cash.

Rolled 6 + 5 (1d6 + 5)

>>48378934

Rolled 3 + 5 (1d6 + 5)

>>48378934
If we win, Sherry is going to want a piece of us soon...something something don't send the guard dog. And thus the rivalry continues.

>>48378938
As we're playing as Fox right now, I was speaking as if we played her during the fight against Lesath. Sorry if that was unclear.

>>48378958
Would Lesath play a Facehunter deck in Hearthstone?

>>48378968
I may have a way around that, if Bookmaker will let me write a short thing.

>>48378993
Honestly, I don't mind it. I would like a rivalry character. So if she wants a crack at us one day, we'll give it to her.

>>48378968
>>48378993
What's wrong with that? By the time she recovers and we have an opening in our busy schedule we will be far more powerful.
Let her come! In both senses of the word

>>48378986
I don't know your warcraft cards, man.

>>48379020
I had no problem with it. I listed why here. (>>48379017)

I want an Apollo Creed to fight and be eventual friendly rivals to.

>>48379053
Is Full-Aggro more setting agnostic?

>>48378934
SHERRY TURN

9-TAILS: 3

"I...gah...what?" Sherry stumbles groggily on her feet for a moment as she tries to stand up. She falls to her bare stomach as waves of confusion seize her and her ribbon whips around pathetically.

There's no need to roll. She can't hit you with it. When she realizes she can't she'll likely calm down and switch to a new strategy. But she's never fought an opponent who can turn invisible. She's never fought someone that feels like they aren't there.

You've frightened her.

FOX FIRE TURN

She's not going to be any more vulnerable than she is now...

WEAPON/SKILL?

>>48378993
What exactly do you got in mind?

>>48379072
sure, but less specific to fighting styles.

>>48379020
Yeah, but I kind of want to leave her with a better opinion of us if I can help it. I want her to want to join the harem, of her own will. And I think Fox knows how to make that happen.

>>48379076
Launch the fireballs we had tailing her and add one fire gem blast.

>>48379076
well, foxfire has no real non-destructive way of incapacitating her opponent.
Try to torch her arm, or legs, or some extremity like that a little, and get the surrender flag. Then the real work can begin.

>>48379076
Do we still have those fireballs floating around? because we should call them down on her.

>What exactly do you got in mind?

I'll save that for when we actually win, my paranoia won't allow me to contemplate victory yet. But I promise, if you give me a few minutes I'll have something nice.

>>48379076
Can we grab her, make her float to the highest point, set her on fire, and then throw her against the ground?

We need a finisher move guys. We can call it the Papal-roni

>>48379076
I feel this to be the finisher.

Claws through her arms and make her submit.

>>48379153
>>48379157
I mean, I get the want for a finisher. But I think we need some surrender/submission victories. We don't need to obliterate her, right?

>>48379076
Bring down the fireballs on her ribbon arm.

>>48379148
>>48379132
>>48379129
>Drop the boom

>>48379153
>The I love that my quests have these little in-jokes

Didn't Johnny Storm do this in Rise of the Imperfects? N-not that I've ever played such a critically panned game...

>>48379157
>Claws through the arm

HOW DO WE FINISH IT?

>>48379201
Yeah, maybe we can get a foxfire cage later, but for now disarming is the only way to stop her.

>>48379215
I already voted Boom, so lets stick with Boom.

>>48379201
It is not likely that the ceiling is so high that a fall can completely destroy her. but it will ceirtainly show her we are in total control.

Also, can we do it Charizard style and make her spin a few times before the drop?

>>48379215
Drop the firestorm on one or both of her arms, keep her from using that scarf.

>>48379215
Fireballs to ribbon arm, claim ribbon as our part for victory.

>>48379226
>foxfire cage

I require graphic details of what you mean by this

>>48379215
I maintain the using the hover bits to attack her vote.

We do need a finishing move, but maybe we should wait until we get the ray for that.

>>48379201
Yeah, I recognize Fox's severe lack of non-lethal options.

When I posted >>48379157 I meant more jabbing through and holding than tearing off her arms.

>>48379264
A series of whirling rings of ghostly flame, perhaps wobbling against each other to deny attempts at attacking through them, that surround a target, slowly shrinking inward until they surrender.

>>48379215
Fireballs to arm

>>48379298
That was far less sexy than what I had imagined, but I approve nonetheless. Excellent idea anon!

>>48379215
Since no one wants to Charizard her

Do we have enough control to simply ask her to surrender?

>>48379327
Maybe an improved version can involve binding chains of flame that incinerate clothing and hold them spread eagle or in shibari of choice. Have to make it nondamaging though, or controllable damage.

>>48379333
good question
>>48379215
how good is our nine tails array?
Can we just start hacking her harder and harder after some mild scorching?

>>48379349
That is far MORE sexy than I had imagined. I doubly approve anon, great work!

>Firestorm

You fire the heat ray while your fireballs crash down upon her. When the flash of light dies down you see Sherry struggle with only one barely operational arm controlling her twitching ribbon. The other hangs uselessly at her side.

Her long black hair obscures her expression. She's done, but you aren't sure she knows that she's done.

So you've won. The question is how do you go about getting that submission?

Foxfire Cage? Demand she surrenders?

>>48379366
Yes, we can hack her remotely with the array even if she hasn't surrendered. She's damaged enough for that.

>>48379349
Or we could do this...
