Chocolate as hard as metal and hard pastry creak and groan around me as my massive moving castle continues its march slowly, I can feel it moving under me, the collums and pillars of jello and gumdrops jiggling as I turn to look at them. I take a deep breath of sugar filled air and sit up, Lifa clinging to me, still sleeping like a rock as the morning sun falls on me and my daughters. Glancing around the room for a second or two, I frown when I notice Iris isn't by my side or anywhere I can see her. Where is she then? Didn't she sleep next to me? if its morning she should still be there but...she isn't. I frown up bit deeper, spreading my wings and Stretching. Alith Yawns, leaning against her mirror axe, still sitting where she was guarding me and her siblings all through the night. I could probably ask her where Iris went off to...but I have a feeling she fell asleep before Iris woke up to do whatever it is she's doing.

I yawn, right as I finish stretching all the aches and stiffness out of my body, my one eyed daughter still hanging around my neck. She has a surprisingly strong grip, guess I've never noticed it before since she's....well as light as a feather most of the time. Now how am I going to get her off of me without waking her up.

I scratch my head, trying to figure out how I'm going to move her without disturbing her. How'd she even end up here anyways? Guess she must've snuck up here sometime last night. Hmm, well she was wandering around the castle before I fell asleep so...that's probably it. But how the hell am I going to get her off of me.

I sigh heavily, feeling a little annoyed despite how cute it is. Because I have things to do today, I can't just lay here with a former angel using me as a pillow all day. Even if she is my daughter.

A serpentine hiss echos through the massive, gold and gem filled chamber, followed by an angry rattle as Maya darts through the hills of valuables and hides behind me, wrapping her tail around my waist. She hisses, her ruby eyes glaring at something in the dimly lit room. I glance up, and see Kelly crouched over one of the piles of gold, her icy blue eyes glaring at me as she just sits there, watching me.

Before I can open my mouth to ask her what she wants and why she's out of her room, the intercom crackles to life. And Iris's adorably monotone voice comes out of it.

"All hands, prepare for docking procedure" She says flatly as the machine made of candy under my castle stops moving, and the castles shakes as it all slides to a stop "We've encountered a bit of an....obstacle, but good news, you might be able to stretch your legs for once, a few of you at least"

Galina's flames creep around me, as she slowly shapes and forms her body, sitting in front of me as she grows larger than Alith.

My fiery daughter glares at Kelly, who growls at her.
But neither of them say a word.
Well at least I know where Iris is now

Hi HM, everything alright with the family again?
>>
>>1203865
I'm doing fine, its just some shit has been happening lately. Thankfully the worst of it seems to be over by now

>>1203869
Well, more or less. It wasn't like a fight or anything. My mom had a serious health issue, but she's on the path to recovery. But its been stressful as hell

I'm glad to here you and your mom are doing better. I know that sort of thing can be scary as hell. But she's doing better, and the bad times are over for the moment. So let's all take a step back from real life and have a little fun, yeah? Unless that bitch Tick Tock starts waking up or something, holy shit.

"Calm down Galina" I say, pushing my hands down slowly as she looks back at me, frowning and looking confused as she shrinks to around Lifa's height, pouting and crossing her arms, which promptly vanish into the flames of her chest.

"How can you ask me to be calm mother!?" She yells, glancing back at Kelly with scared look on her face, before she grimaces, her mouth opening into a sea of flames "There's a wolf just outside the gates! Why are you so casual about this"

Ah, so that's what she sees Kelly as, no wonder she doesn't like her being around. Not that she isn't that far off. Kelly is pretty close to a hungry wolf most of the time


"Hmmm, I'd say more of a stray dog" I say with a smirk as Kelly frowns, oh guess I struck a nerve on accident then "You didn't really get a good look at it, did you Galina"

She looks back at the near beast, her silver flames lapping at my flesh harmlessly, as she clings to me. Then she smiles and laughs as she fades away in the air like a day dream

"Oh, right, I must be stressed from all the work we've been doing and your absence" She says, laughing as she flows under the pile of pillows I'm laying on "Oh I feel like such an idiot"

"It was an honest mistake" I say, holding my hand out to give Maya a reassuring pat on her tail, as I turn my eyes back to Kelly "And do you need something, Kelly?"

"Food, not dead" She growls shaking her head, looking at me with her dead black eyes "Your magic is good, but not as good as real, bleeding flesh, there is no life in it, it does not hold my hunger"

"Get it away" Maya hisses, as I ruffle her oily black hair, watching it drip from my hands as she hisses, Kelly doesn't seem to notice her

"So you want me to let you out to eat some poor campers or something?" I ask as Kelly grins, showing off her bone snapping fangs "Also don't worry sweetie she can't see you"

"....I could just eat one of the crew here, since you won't even let me nibble on blondie girl" Kelly says, sneering as she turns to where my hand is, making Maya wrap around my arm in a blind panic, I can feel her heart beating like a mortal girl "And another of your...."Daughters", I can smell her, but not see? Why?"

"Get her away now! I don't want to share a room with such a foul, base creature! Mother! Pleaaaaaaassssssssssse" Maya hisses,tightening her grip around my arm "please, it reeks of a glutton"

Maya goes cold and I smile as softly and warmly as I can, hugging her with my lower arms. Lifa groans, and shifts as her little sister's tail touches her cheek.

"Don't worry sweetie, kelly is quite tame when she's around me or Iris" I say calmly "Vampires and demons taste disgusting to her and she knows what I can do to things that make me mad, isn't that right kelly"

Oh yeah, it was scary, especially since no one thought to tell me "Oh yeah, the coma I mentioned was medically induced and she's already out of it" For three fucking days

>"Your magic is good, but not as good as real, bleeding flesh, there is no life in it, it does not hold my hunger"
Shouldn't our Life magic have fixed that by now?
Would we need a specialty to make really for reals living things?

>>
>>1203943
The beastly girl scratchs the back of her neck, her wild hair clinging to her fat soaked fingers as she closes her eyes like she's just been whipped. Her head cranes up as she glances at the ceiling.

"Yessssssssssss" She hisses through her teeth "But....I need prey, and I know you care not for the things below"

I smirk, and stare at her, not saying a word. Until Lifa pulls on my neck. She yawns, her single purple eye fluttering open

"No" She grumbles, trying to push me back down "I'm not done sleeping yet, go back to sleep momma, you're a good pillow"

"Aww" I say, ruffling her hair with my upper hands as Alith walks over to us

"Don't be so blunt to our mother" She says with a frown "Do I need to give you another lesson sister, in respect"

"I love her, but she is a good pillow" Lifa yawns, closing her eyes as she hangs on me "and you could use one"

"...Well I mean" Alith says with a grin, her cheeks turning as pink as her fur "It might be helpful if mother would"

"Lusty lusty" Maya says giggling "How far you've fallen"

"Not really" Alith says smugly as Galina flows out from under me

"Ah, Iris" She says happily, with a frown "Where have you been? I thought you had to ask to leave the church for so long"

"Oh" Iris says, as she appears in a puff of white smoke, wrapping her arms and wings around herself "I was just making a quick announcement, glad to see you're all awake, especially you mali"

"Oh, and what's making us stop?" I ask curiously, trying to stand up with two of my daughters already

"A town" Iris says frowning "one that isn't on any of our maps"

"Hmmm?" Maya asks looking curious

"Maybe they just forgot to tell anyone" Lifa says, opening her eyes slightly

"Unlikely, we should approach with suspicion" Alith says frowning deeply, a grave look passing through her eyes

"Why do all of you want to go to town now" Galina sighs

"Well, it seems like fun" I say with a devilish smile as Iris sighs

"So we're going to check it out then?" She asks as I nod without hesitation, and stand up

"Not so faaaast" Lifa whines

"Stop complaining" Alith snorts, crossing her arms
-
I whistle as I step out onto the tower, still holding two of my daughters, Lifa still trying to sleep as Maya grins and cackles, now coiled round my neck.

Alith leans against me, holding her axe as Galina soars through the air with a stern look on her face

"Wow" I say peeking down at the trees far under my feet, seeing white buildings under them, all lined up perfectly with humans walking them...Wait why aren't there any walls? "What's this doing here?

>>1203967
>>1203989

Well its not their fault, just bad luck on my part really. Everyone was torn up by it, and I never thought to ask about it. Also pretty sure the doctors didn't mention the coma wasn't a "Real" one for a while, so it could also be because of that

>>1203955
if you make real living things it would help. But Kelly does just enjoy eating People/monsters
>>
>>1204028

"I was asking myself the same question"Iris says frowning as she grabs one of my hands "All the maps we have don't have even a house in this part of the woods, let alone an entire city, it just feels...off to me"

"Yeah, I know what you mean, this is weird" I say smiling

"Tick tock....tick tock...tick tock" Hatman's smooth voice whispers into my ear.

I gasp and turn around, and see....nothing. I frown as Iris puts a hand on my shoulder

"You feeling alright sweetie?" She asks, looking worried

Family adventure with all of the family! We need to have more of these. And lying/keeping secrets in a family is nothing but poison, so we should tell them what's going on even if they don't believe us.

"Just a little freak out" I say, still trying to smile, but well...I always was a terrible liar "it might be a little hard to explain thought but"

"Honey, I've studied hell and seen you do things that I'm pretty sure would drive a normal person insane" She says bluntly, smirking playfully as she tugs on my hand "Just tell me, I'm sure I'll understand it, even if it takes me awhile to really understand"

"Something wrong?" Alith asks, looking suspicous as I sigh and hang my head "Do you need protection mother?"

"Alright, well I kind of except a dare from a really weird guy" I groan as both of them narrow their eyes and look mad "Well, wasn't much of a bet or dare, more of a job really, but he said he wanted me to get him something...and I swore I just heard his voice just now"

"Was he another demon?" Iris asks, gripping my hand tightly

"I don't think so, he's....something else" I say, frowning as Alith presses against me

"Well worry not! I shall defend you with my life!" She says cheerfully

"Eh? What, is this a bad town or something?" Galina asks, her flames spreading to fill the sky in front of us

"It smells likes it rich with sin" Maya cackles as Lifa yawns

"So do you think your "dare" has something to do with this place?" Iris asks, her voice turning cold and deadly "Also, what exactly did he want you to get"

"And what do you mean by he was something different?" Lifa asks curiously

"I don't know?" I say shrugging as Maya slithers off of me "and he just told me I need to get him this...thing called Tick tock, but I doubt it has anything to do with that, its probably just a town of freeloaders who don't want to pay taxes"

"Tch, greed" Maya groans

"Greed can lead to lust" Alith giggles "they're actually pretty similar if I remember my studies right"

"I thought I said to stop reading about different faiths" Galina hisses, like a boiling kettle

"Well, it does sound fun doesn't it" I say happily as Iris keeps frowning "What? there's probably nothing wrong with this place, and if there is well, that's just more sin and excitment, not like mortals can hurt us"

"But I'll still be able to protect you right?" alith asks smiling weakly

"of couse" I say happily, nodding

"And I can tend to the flowers if they have any?"Lifa asks curiously

"Why wouldn't you?" I ask frowning as Maya tugs on my leg

"Yes?" I ask

"Will you help me get a few souls under my belt?" She asks meakly as I grin and nod

"And can you help me get things for dinner?" Galina frowns as I laugh and say

"Of course I will" I say looking back at Iris,who's still frowning "Hey, don't you know looking sad ruins your looks sweetie, I mean you're still cute but"

"Tick tock?" She asks frowning a bit deeper, furrowing her brow as she subconsciously uses her shapeshifting magic to look less...monstery
she...really looks like her father when she's like this "Why does that sound so familiar"

Let's take stock of our forces real quick. We have two reality fuckers with little to no moral problems with razeing a town of assholes. Their demon/fallen daughters. A half-starved wendigo from Until Dawn. And army of bored and slightly pissed off monsters who recently got a makeover. They have a cult and possibly both The World and King fucking Crimson.


This is gonna be AWESOME.

>>1204245
Man I sincerely hope our girls will get levels ups this way.

Earth magic for Lifa, Cheer for Alith, and maybe some sweet demonic fighting skills for Galina...

For Maya I kinda want to see what is available but some neat traits might be worthwhile!

It's the fate of freeloaders to be eaten by langoliers
>>
>>1204267
I mean, it's fun to have the magic, but I kind like Iris having that one...something to even the odds when Mali gets...a little antsy...

And then she realizes that this may backfire...

That and I really want to see what Cheer Magic does in the future, especially for our party tank.
>>
>>1204287
Wait, don't Mali and Iris share their magic? So if one of them got time magic... How many orgasms can you give your girlfriend in the frozen time?

Also, last time a vampire got time magic shit got really bizarre, really fast.
>>
>>1204297
I believe the official rules is that Iris' magic is her own.

HOWEVER, any magic that Mali gains, Iris gains a few spells from that category

for example, Mali knows life magic, so Iris can cast Cure and Heal.
>>
>>1204297
Iris gets spells from our magic categories, but only her own schools.

>>1204309
Right, I though it was something like that, thanks for clearing that up. I believe both of my statements are still correct though. Lewdbin when HM?

"Well he didn't tell me exactly what it was, but apparently its....kind of like a clock and can mess with time, and used to be alive" I say shrugging, as Iris' eyes glow green as she looks up, and pushes her glasses back into place "He wasn't really descriptive when he told me about it"

"Oh" Iris says biting her thumb, nodding slowly "Are you sure he said it was clock like? Or did he just use clock as a metaphor"

"Well he wants to use it as a clock I think"I say,shrugging as I turn back to the city "But stop worrying, I'm sure it's nothing"

"No, its something, because if this is what I think it is I think you might end up over your head here darling"Iris says, sounding pretty worried "Because tick tock is the name of one of the generals of chaos"

"who?" I ask looking back at her, frowning and flapping my wings as Lifa finally lets go of me

"Is that a mortal band or something of the like?" Alith asks looking confused, frowning as she stomps her feet on the cream covered balconey

"....Eh? what do you want with the general store?" Galina groans "or wait...no I don't think the man running it was ever a general...hmm"

"Chaos? what was it some kind of leader in this world?" Lifa asks curiously

"What nonsense is she saying mother?" Maya asks, tugging on my leg again

"tch" Iris sighs, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose "It'll take too long to explain, but you know that anime my father is obssesed with"

"All of them?" I ask frowning as she chuckles and shakes her head

"No, magical girl the last order" She says calmly "You remember it right?"

I shrug

"Well that was...more or less real, and tick tock was one of the enemies in it, one of the most dangerous as he had near absolute power over time itself" She says sternly, looking up at me with a blank look on her face "He was defeated and should have ceased to exist entirely, especially since things like him shouldn't be around anymore"

I blink, I really don't understand any of what she's saying.

"Well, if you're so worried I can just scout the place out first" I say happily as Iris groans

"You don't get how dangerous that magic could be, do you?" She asks

"I do, but well....he's dead" I say calmly "So I'm not really worried about it"

"And if someone is trying to use his cor..."She pauses and sighs "Forgot you could go invisble, sorry"

"Oh don't be, I forget about that to sometimes" I cackle

"Truly? is that why your such and exhobisinist?" Maya asks

"I just assumed she liked to show off" Lifa says

"Well, it'd be a shame for her not to with a body like" Alith begins before I groan

"It was a joke" I whine as a deep roar echos from the inside of my castle "OH, I forgot to get kelly!

We should feed her so she won't have to worry about eating as much once stuff starts happening.

"Meat meat meat meat" Kelly sings under her breath, as Alith puts herself between her and the rest of us. Iris just watches the nearly beast, as she taps her finger on the balcony's railing, digging her clawed hands into the thick hardened frosting covering. I look over at her as she frowns and wraps her wings around herself once again

"Well, what do you want to do?" I ask sweetly as she smiles and looks back over at me, taking her eyes off the singing man eater behind me "We can always go around"

"Why should we? we can handle it" she says happily "If anything is actually here...like you said, this could just be a bunch of tax evaders or hippies, we can't be sure just....don't go trying to find anymore trouble than you have to"

"Understood" I say grabbing her hand, and kissing the back of it as I purr "Mistress"

I've never seen her this red before.

"Well we don't want to attract any unwanted attention, so lets go inside normally" I say happily as all my daughters and Iris sighs

"Yes, because parking a castle right outside of it is entirely unnoticable" She says teasingly, as all of my skin turns red and pink

She's more "human" looking than us, so it shouldn't be too hard for Maya to fake it. Or make her look like a large dog. Either way.

"HEY don't touch me" Kelly hisses as I reach towards her, forming a leash in my hand, golden lines forming the vague outline of it in my hand as golden orange light fills it in and makes it real "I know the kind of thing you do?"

"Alith?" I ask calmly as I glance over at my "eldest" daughter "Also don't worry, I'm just putting this collar on so you don't run amok"

"As you wish my mother" Alith says sweetly, snapping her fingers casually, blue mist flowing from the palm of her hands

"Then why are you bringing me" She hisses as ice forms around her hands and feet, as a bright pink collar forms in my hand

"She just wants to stop you from getting yourself into trouble, or eating anyone innocent" Iris says calmly, glancing at me "isn't that right Mali?"

"Of couse" I say happily, looking down at Maya with a sweet smile "Also do you think you could use your magic on your sisters? I didn't see one monster down there"

"Hmmm, so its likely they are keeping them out then?" Iris asks "Good eye Honey"

"Thank you" I say happily, looking down at my body and sighing as the patchwork paint watches over it "Its just kind of a shame isn't it"

"it really is" Iris chuckles as she to turns herself into a more "normal" looking version of herself
-

A road of small black stones stuck together leads into the town, and around the town are these tall silver pillars. the strange road stretches on into the jungle than vanishes...not sure if it leads to anything. Alith, Lifa, Maya and even Galina all look like humans, but they all have a bit of their real nature peeking through. Alith's snow white hair, One of Lifa's two eyes is missing, Galina's eyes look like they're made of fire...but they're covered with sunglasses, and Maya eyes are just red. I pull my own sunglasses up to cover my eyes I walk down the road, arm in arm with Iris who is having trouble walking on "Normal" Feet.

"Ooooh what brings you to the neighboorhood" A man with a bright white suit asks, a small silver rose pinned to his chest, twisted around another one made of gold "didn't know there was any other normal folks round here? so what brings ya to our humble town"

"Oh, we just need some supplies" Iris says happily "Hard to grow food in a place like that"

She points back at the castle

"Mmmm, I was wondering what that was' the man says, still smiling a fake smile "Well if you need food you can come to one of our local diners, I'll show you my favorite if ya'd like"

"But, your pet has to stay outside" He says coldy, his eyes narrowing as he spots Kelly sitting by my side, looking at him hungrily. She begins to growl, and opens her mouth to speak, and I can already smell the trouble that is going to give me, so I pull on her leash, not enough to hurt her just enough to make her realize she shouldn't be talking

"Well what do you think sweetie?" I ask, trying my best not sound creeped out or angry as I look back to Iris, who just smiles sweety

"Well, we can always just cook at home" She says happily as the man's twitches his head

"Are you sure? its a real treat and its always nice to eat out" He says happily, crossing his hands behind his back "Just indulge a bit"

Iris looks at me and shakes her head, and I nod

"No no" I say softly, the man's eyes glancing down at my...gifted body before he quickly looks back up at me "We just need supplies"

"But a bit of finer dining is always nice" the man says happily, looking at Lifa

"Well, it might not be so bad right momma" She says happily, the bangs covering her empty eye socket as she smiles happily "Besides it would be a way to pass time before we have to carry it all back"

"Yeah, it'd be a wonderful time to embrace the local flavor" alith yawns, trying not to stamp her hooves less she makes to much noise

"And we don't get out enough" Galina sighs as I realize what they're getting at and grin

"Well I guess we will then" I say happily as the man smiles and Iris pushes her glasses up, sighing and shaking her head

"Well then follow me"He says happily, as he turns and walks back inside the circle of silver towers

"Well, we'll just find what we like ourselves" Iris says warmly "but thank you"

"Are you sure?' he asks, frowning as a few other people stop in the streets and turn to see what we're doing


"yeah we'll find our way to it ourselves" I say cheerfully, making a finger pistol and pointing at him, making him turn away so he doesn't get embarressed "Also why isn't this town on the map?"

"Why would it be?' he asks, almost furiously, as he turns and stomps away "but don't let the peace keep you, wouldn't want to stop your journey after all"

Iris glares at him, as I quickly form a spike in my hand, and drive it into the ground, pressing it into kelly's leash to keep her into place, so she doesn't try to run into the city or go after anything or anyone who wanders to close to her

"Don't hurry"She says coldly as she sits down, putting her head between her legs as I groan and cross my arms

"Oh don't be such a baby, I'll feed you soon, don't worry" I say happily as I walk inside the town, past the silver towers. They buzz as we walk past and I can feel my skin tingle as my hair stands up like someone's running their hands through it and lifting it up. The black road continues on, with two pristine sidewalks as white as polished marble line it, past the perfectly trimmed yards and plain, unpainted white houses without the usual rooftops. they're more like blocks of concrete than anything else.

"I don't like this place, it feels...fake" Lifa whines, grabbing my arm as she walks down the street with me "there's no leaves on the ground, or weeds anywhere, this isn't right"

"I don't know, it seems spartan and functional to me" Alith says, with a teasing smirk, Lifa just shudders and presses herself up against me, so I start to run my hand through her hair and pet her to try and calm her down a bit

"this place stinks of pride" Maya says under her breath, oh...so that's what I've been smelling then

"Hmm, which one of these places is a diner?" Galina grumbles as she wanders off, shaking her long, orange tinted red hair

"Galina, don't wander off like that" Iris groans, as she tries to catch up to her, and I notice a woman with thick glasses watching me from the side of the road, wearing the same pin the man was, two roses twisting around eachother, but hers is just pure gold

"Hey" I say, waving at her a she tilts her head and nods

"Hello" She says dully, like she's picking apart every piece of me, trying to find something wrong with me, like she's inspecting a piece of fish for bones

"Er, you wouldn't happen to know a place to eat around here?" I ask happily as she smiles warmly and laughs, clapping her hands together

"OH yes, there's a diner just down the street, a simple little burger hut" She says cheerfully "its not much, but its better than anything from outside, it'd be a real treat for your.....daughters"

"No stop!" Iris yells as Galina starts to smack the side of a car "Sorry, she isn't usually like this"

The owner doesn't really seem to care, I smirk, guess she's just curious

"What? I was just curious, what's wrong with you" Galina asks, pouting as she gets dragged away from the car.

"So, where's the diner you were talking about?" Alith asks, clapping her hands together, twitching as I loosen to ropes that are constantly binding her

"Oh just down the street, I bet the little one can't wait hm?" the woman says, looking at maya who turns away

"Not at all" She says, looking annoyed and disgusted

"SO, you've found a place to eat at?" Iris sighs, as Galina smiles happily

"We just did" I say nodding as Alith laughs

"Indeed we have, might be hard to tell apart from the rest of the buildings" She says cheerfully "but I'm sure we'll find it, isn't that right mother"

I nod as Lifa shivers

"Nothing here is real" She whines, stomping her feet as we walk down the near empty street together, drawing more than a few odd looks

Maya sticks close to me, sticking her tongue out

Is the ground rumbling? I stop and Lifa does as well, she tilts her head and I scratch my chin. No it isn't, it isn't moving its a sound that sounds like rumbling or crackling fire....or both of them mixed together into a quite, unnatural hiss.

"Lightning moves under our feet" Lifa says, her one eyes narrowing as the empty socket in her "Disguise" lights up for a second "this is not the work of nature, but of man"

I blink as I stare at my feet, the sound is a buzz, like the one around the towers but...its familiar. Electricity? I look back up at the diner we're walking to, narrowing my eyes as I hear a low Thooom . And then the lights inside of it turn on, and a sign lights up outside. I glance at my other daughters, Alith is too busy staring at a passing woman to notice, she's not even trying to hide her lust. And Galina is staring up at a lightpost curiously, while poor iris tries to act like this is entirely normal. And Maya is hiding behind me, not paying any attention at all.

"Hmm" I say as Lifa glares at the building

"I don't think they used that place very often" She says calmly "or at all"

"Yeah, I think that's pretty obvious" I say as four or so men and women rush around the back of the diner

"Even the people here act fake" Lifa mumbles under her breath as we start walking again

"The lights weren't on in that diner before now" I whisper into Iris' ears, they twitch like they do when they're in their normal bat like shape. Her red eyes narrow and she glances at the building as Alith walks my side after finally tearing her eyes off her new crush

"Hmm, so you were watching it then?" She asks, covering her other ear as we walk down the street "are you sure all the lights were off"

"Yes I'm sure, and they didn't just turn the lights on" I say calmly as Maya bites her tongue so she doesn't hiss at a passing man, wearing the exact same pin as the other two people we've met in this town "they"

"They gave power to the building, redirected to it" Lifa hisses as Iris's eyes widen with surprise then go back to their usual size

"Hmmm" She says smiling "Well I'm not feeling burgers right now, want to go somewhere else?"

"Yeah, I could go for anything really" I say calmly as Galina gasps and furrows her brow

"So could I, Mother" Alith says licking her lips as Galina groans

"Ah, I was looking forward to burgers, never ha them before" She says, sniffling and pouting as we walk along down the street as a man with a mustach walks past us

"Hmm?" He asks glancing at us "Never seen you around, dropping by for breakfast?"

He laughs as I frown and see that same pin sticking to his white coat

"Well we were but, I don't want to eat at a building that just got power" I say as his eyes harden

"Oh bah the fuse probably just blew, hard to keep things working without any real society around anymore, all magic hoo ha" He says, looking angry as Lifa stares at her....with more hate in her single eye than I've ever seen

"Yes, but the meat could still spoil in that time, and Maya has a very weak stomach" Iris says as Maya peeks out at the man

"Gah, if you're that picky there's a pizza parlor just down mid street" he says, smiling as he leans closer to Maya "it'd probaby be easier on your stomach anyways"

Maya glares at hims suspiciously and I push her forward

"Well, say hi to the man, he won't bite" I say sweetly as Alith glares at him, standing next to Maya protectively as Lifa continues glaring at the man, her eye narrowing

"Yes, I'm not some uncouth beast after all" He laughs as I continue pressing Maya forward

"Hello" She says under her breath, and my heart nearly flutters out of my chest, and Iris smiles

"Sorry she's a bit shy I say" I say sweetly

"But she's still a good girl most of the time" Iris says as I grab Lifa to make her stop staring at the man, who glances over his shoulder as we pass each other

"Every bone in my body is telling me this place isn't right" Iris says under her breath

"These mortals aren't normal"Alith says "they act....different, but only slightly, like they're from another time"

"Yeah, they're too friendly! most other humans are skittish scared things" Maya hisses

Lifa doesn't say a word, just glares ahead, her single eye filled with disgust and spite

"You know you don't have to fear mortals, darling" I say, grabbing her hand, gripping it tightly to try and comfort her as she watches every person walking down the street, who are all wearing the same pin of a rose twisted together to a second one "they can't really hurt you, I've told you this a hundred"

"Five" Maya says calmly as I sigh and correct myself

"Five times' I say dully as she digs her nails into my palm

"I know that mother, but your magic is more...it can cause more damage than mine, very much unlike me and our sisters" She says under her breath "I can trick, you can turn people into food or summon weapons to attack for you, and I'm still just an imp, mortals can..."

"Well I won't let them, so just stop worrying and relax, I took you from hell so you could do just that' I say, kissing her on her cheek as she smiles and nods

"I'll try my best" She says softly as I turn to See Alith watching another girl walk by, hungrily

"Eating the eye candy?' I ask as she nods and giggles

"What can I say, you rubbed off on me" She says happily "Besides, not much else to do here, is there?"

"Not right now" I say shrugging "So, do they have better tits or asses here"

"hmm, not much of either most of them are hiding it under coats, unfortunately" Alith sighs "tis a trying time, mother"

"Well you can still imagine if" I say feeling a go down my back even before Iris grabs my shoulder "H....hey I wasn't even looking, just giving alith a few pointers"

"I know, just making sure you don't lose control" Iris says sweetly "or get too distracted"

"Sorry mother" Alith says bowing her head as I notice Galina staring at one of the boring houses we've walked by

"See anything interesting" I say, spinning her around easily, as she blushes, nearly tripping from the sudden change in movement

"No, just these people don't seem very loving, I don't see any art here" She sighs "I guess they're just boring farmers who haven't heard your words, mother"

"Oh? and what makes you think that?"I ask as her sunglasses begin to melt, and I cover her eyes with my hand

"They're filthy heathens, I can smell it in the air, none of them move right, they're strange and...weird, I don't like it here" She hisses as the flames from her eyes vanishes "Why did you all want to come here, Why did you come here Iris"

"Don't know" Iris sighs "But we'll be gone soon"

"Yeah don't worry, lets just go get some pizza" I say, ruffling my daughters hair as I turn back to Lifa, and notice the illusion covering her is breaking a little as thorny vines snake in and out of her skin "And why are you so mad"

"Perversion" She hisses, her missing eye glowing green under her hair "Defiling of their own flesh and blood, completely ignoring the plan set forth by nature, corrupting their flesh to remain human, but removing that purity they seek in their attempt"

"Huh?" I ask "What are they inbreeding or something?""

"No, much worse, in their skin and flesh lies metal, no magic or whimsy, just cold hard steel, wires and other things filled with stolen lightning" She says in a hushed whisper, her voice as cold as Layla's when she talks about Marla, deadly cold, the voice of someone ready to rip someone else to pieces "they've purified their flesh to keep it fresh, pumped their blood so full of other things it isn't really blood, machines lie in their bodies, replacing their organs in some cases, most of them have no hearts at all, they have armor inside their chests....a handful of them at least.

"Sweetie" I say, crouching down and grabbing both of her hands, gripping them tightly as thorns dig into my flesh "We'll be out of here soon, just calm down, don't last out at them, I know they're wrong but we're just stopping by here, we didn't come here to kill them or anything like that"

"You came here for that things corpse" She says looking me in the eyes as I wince from the thorns pricking my hands

"And because I wanted to spend some time with all of you, as a family" I say sweetly "And if you unleash your magic, things are going to get nasty"

"...Well, I was happy with just staying with you today" She says meakly "we could've just gone around"

"Well, can't leave a bet unfinished" I say, hearing a door close behind me "Now come on, we have to catch up with everyone else now"

"Ha, you're a dumby sometimes mom" Lifa sighs, hugging me as I stand back up "I'm glad they sent me after you"

"and so am I" I say, kissing her above where her one eye would usually be, she just smiles happily, and walks with me into the pizzaria, small roots wrapping around my finger as I hold her hand.

I push the glass door open

"What's wrong miss" a teenage boy asks as Alith struggles to find a way to sit down in a chair, her illusion hiding her horse half as she walks around the table, looking nervous

"She has trouble sitting down"Iris says quickly

"Thank you, I'm in your debt" Alith says under her breath as Maya swings her legs back and forth in her chair

"Why do you even need these?" She asks happily, with an amused smile

"Huh, this place really has some odd decor" Galina says happily as Lifa covers her nose, and I wrinkle mine, the place smells of lemon soap, and dust, and I can smell steel burning just behind the counter.

the boy behind the counter looks at me, his eyes going wide as he sees ALL of me.

Iris' eyes narrow as she notices him noticing me

I smile, ignoring him but basking in Iris' jealously as I walk over to the table they chose, pulling a seat out for Lifa, watching her sit down before I sit myself down next to Iris, who silently pulls me closer to herself. I giggle and she presses a finger to my lips, blushing ever so slightly

"Not a word mali" She says under her breath, obviously pretty flustered. So I lean against her, still giggling as she turns redder, and Galina flips through the menu while Alith glares at her chair, rubbing her chin as she tries her best to figure out how she can sit down in it with her body.

"Tch, why do humans need to eat" Maya hisses as Galina turns to her and dawws, putting both her hands on her face

"Aww do you want so pizza? I think its a bit too heavy for someone your age" She says, pinching maya's cheek as Lifa holds up the menu, not really looking at it at all

Alith says nothing, but her frustration and anger is written plain in her face as she just stands next to the table, probably just sitting down and giving up trying to act "Human"

I smile reassuringly as she looks at me, and she smirks.Now to see what they have to eat here....not much variety in pizza, and they don't have any pasta, just chicken wings and soup?Who'd have soup with pizza?that's weird...hmm but with all of these ingredients I think I can make something worth while, at I can make something that won't make me die from boredom. Ooh, three types of sauces? Regular, spicy and garlic...neat. Hmm, wow that's more cheese than I expected

"Uh huh bah" the boy says, trying to speak as he walks over to the table, capped pen in one hand, notepad in the other trying to keep his eyes off of me as Iris' eye's flash green as he stares at my tits "C...can I take your orders?"

"Actually" I say, crossing my arms under my chest, pushing my boobs up as the boy turns red and starts having trouble breathing "I have a question"

"Y..yes?" He asks with a ear grating shrill voice

"Do you think me and my bae are a cute couple?" I ask, hugging Iris, knocking her glasses eschew as I lay against her, I smirk as all the hopes drain out of the boy's eyes, leaving them dull and empty

"Ah, Mali" Iris says, actually sounding Embarrassed but she still hugs me back "You're so embarrassing, what am I going to do with you"

"Well I can think of several things" I say, kissing her on the cheek as the boy slumps over, looking like he's about to cry, but I'm not sure if its because of despair or joy at this point

"As can I" alith giggles "have you ever tried some rope with"

Iris glares at Alith as the boy clears his throat, forcing a smile

"did you just want to ask me about that?' he asks, through gritted teeth, as Alith takes her turn in tease him, brushing her hair out of her eyes and looking at him wistfully as he turns redder than Iris's eyes

"Actually I have a question about the menu" I say turning back to the menu and frowning "Wheres the desert pizza?"

I look back at him with puppy dog eyes as he frowns and stammers "We don't have any"

"Oh" I say sadly, frowning as he tries to say he could make some, but I ignore him "So how many calories is your average slice of pizza, trying to watch my wait"

All of my daughters and iris stare at me with the most deadpan expression, and I blush

"I am" I say under my breath, lying through my teeth as the boy stammers and says some gibberish before shrugging

"They don't tell me this kind of stuff miss" He says with a nervous chuckle "but I'd get the vegetarian if you're worried about your waist

"Alright, and why are the ovens on so high?" I ask as he turns a little pale

"Well...well you see that's too make sure we're the fastest pizza in town, and to make sure you don't have to wait" He says, putting a hand to the pin on his chest, looking nervous as he glances outside the window just behind us

"And who taught you how to act?"I ask, swiveling my chair around as I toss my menu away

He says nothing, looking scared for his life as I smile and grin, standing up and looking him in the eyes as I push my glasses down, not enough for him to see the color of my eyes

"And why have you been putting metal into yourselves, you've upset my precious daughter you know" I say softly as he turns away and begins to jog to the back of the building

"I...I need to talk to my manager" He says, pressing his hand against his pin

What do I do
[] go after him

[] leave the building with my family

[] Casually use change magic to make him walk back to our table 1d20+pot

I hold a single finger up, white fog curling around it as I twirl it through the air, yawning and patting my mouth with my other hand as the boy begins to walk away, before the white fog surrounds him. He gasps, taking his hand off his pin as he covers his mouth and holds his breath. And then he vanishes into the pure white cloud appearing next to our table, hands still covering his mouth

"Ah...ah ah" I say tapping my finger on his nose "Not so fast, the service here is already terrible, you'll be lucky if I even give you a tip at all"

He doesn't say a thing, and just stares at me in silent terror as he realizes I just achieved the "Impossible" As easy as can be. A single drop of blue tinged sweat drips down his face to his chin as I stand up, and look him dead in the eyes as he swallows, hard , glancing over his shoulder at the door. I calmly make and toss some alchemical dust at it, and turn it into salt. It crumbles away slowly, rusting right before it collapses in on itself

"But you're all supposed to be dead" He says sounding terrified "Layla Miller wiped you Ashen Cauldron loonie out in the last shadow war...that's history isn't it?"

I turn to Iris, who's covering her mouth and trying her best not to laugh as I turn back to man with a confused look

"Eh? look I just want an answer to my question friend" I say calmly, folding my hands together as Alith stands behind him, cracking her knuckles

He swallows, and puts his hands in his pockets, looking up at the ceiling like he's trying to remember a line in a play

"We are trying to progress in a time of stagnation and not refer or rely on this magic that has infected our world, we augment ourselves to better ourselves" He says, as Lifa glares daggers at him, the illusion magic fading away from her as he snorts "and hold a foothold for man kind and logic, unlike the other branches who have betrayed our ideals and invited monsters and beasts and....use this cancer upon our world for power, now I don't care what demon you have bound inside you, I've sent a distress call out and we're surrounded, on wrong move and you're all"

Iris giggles, and the boy looks at her like she's crazy, then Alith begins to Laugh and Maya grabs my hand as Galina tilts her head, utterly confused with reality.

And then I join in

"What's so funny? Magic cannot overcome a massively superior force enhanced by cybernetics" He says looking offended and worried

He actually thinks he has us out gunned, oh Layla is going to love hearing about this, hell all of the miller's are!

I will say he's not wrong for wanting to do this. It's always good to have redundancies for systems. And not just limit things to just one way.

Still, they are cheating using magic for power.
>>
I try my best to look scared, grabbing onto Iris as she takes her glasses off so she doesn't make them fog up with all her laughing, laying against me as the boy looks smug and crosses his arms as I mock trying to find my voice and hold my hand up for pause as he leans back, looking like he's just struck gold and grins like an idiot, looking even more unattractive than he already was.

"Well that might be" I say trying my best to sound scared as my daughters and future wife keep laughing and I just keep trying to play along "But you forget one thing, magic doesn't exactly play nice with technology"

"We've fixed that little bug" he says calmly, looking down at me

"Oh...have you, have you" I say, nodding like I've just lost every ounce of hope I have, looking back at Iris, swallowing hard before I grin wickedly and cackle "love? Care to explain how he's wrong"

"Well, I don't like wasting my breath on people beneath me" She says calmly as she looks over my at him, calmly cleaning her glasses as she squints at him, struggling to see "But it might just save your life, as much as I'd hate for that to happen, I'll be merciful because I'm not some kind of monster"

She clears her throat, putting her arm over my shoulder and setting her other one on my lap as she smiles calmly and puts her glasses on

"See, you'd be right if we were mere borrowers of power and human, or in fact even mortal at all" she says, like she's explaining math to a bunch of little kids "Yes, we would be quite outmatched if it is how you see it as and imagined it to be, but"

The boys grin vanishes into a hopeless smile as he smiles and sounds like he tries to claim she's lying but she cuts him off without even so much as a change in pitch

"that is not the case" She says calmly as I stand up and start stretching "See, you were right about two things, me being a witch and the ashen cauldron being dead, now I want you to guess which of my little...family here is my familiar"

He stammers and wipes his mouth, pressing his pin faster and faster as Iris laugh in the most scathing monotone I've ever heard

"Oh that is going to help, it isn't an animal ear or even an animal in human form familiar, see I wanted the best, and the best was demonic" Iris says, her voice cutting like a knife as the man's eyes go wide "Yes I have a demon bound to my damned soul, be she isn't inside me"

"Right now" me and Alith say in unison, and Iris lightly smacks the back of my head "Ow"

"Rather she is standing right before you, and she isn't a mere lesser demon or newly born imp, she is a true demon, a denizen of hell with magic far beyond your pitiful understanding of it" Iris says, folding her hands like she's about to seal a deal "And she is quite mighty, for she has not only fought and survived three angels, she beat them and made them fall and become her loving children, though poor Galina was broken before she could finish"

"Uhuhuhuhuhuuuuu" the boy says, now sobbing as tears stream down his face, his eyes blank from anything but pure horror as he sees my fake face crack apart, the bloodless "wounds" glowing with the fires of hell

"So, I would like you to meet, The demon they call Angel rider" Iris says narrowing her eyes angrily as she deepens her voice dramitcally "And Mother of the fallen, and my girlfriend who you've been oggling"

I stretch, my body cracking out of the dried paint as it turns back to normal, I look down at the man as my eyes glows with magic potency, and I know my pupils spell "RIP" because I made them. I slowly spread my lower arms, cracking my upper one's knuckles as my spear appears in my lower hands. My wings unfurl and my milky white almost see through skin turns into a mad array of colors that demand attention. Horns rip through my skull and sit atop my rich, red hair as my purple tongue whips through the air cutting a gash through the floor as the boy stumbles back, staring up at me with a mixture of desire and pure terror.

I open my mouth, drinking in his lust as I smack the white wood haft of my spear on the ground, smirking as the tear drop shaped blade catches the light.

"I..I' He stammers as Iris stands beside me, grabbing my arm

"'m Are not my type? No shit" I chuckle as Iris lays against me and closes her eyes, and unveils her fangs and nothing else

"And I am Iris Miller, daughter of the Lamia, and youngest princess of Brausrburge, and this is not what my base form looks like" She says calmly "if I wanted to, I could turn you to stone"

"Please don't kill me" the boy says meekly, covering his head, shaking like a dog left out in a winter storm

I put my fingers in my mouth and whistle

"Oh Lifa" I say, glancing back at my daughter, who's mean look melts the second, turns to me an grins as I take a breath and flaps my wings "You can take your stress out on him"

She says nothing as her illusion drops and the cowering boy whines like a broken tea pot as she walks up him, lightning and vines grow from her skin, her thorns sparking as a wind picks up from nowhere, turning into a ripping gales as thunder clouds gather around her head, feeding her more electricity as she walks up to the man with an unchanging expression. Her staff blooms as she raises it up to smack him, and I grab it and shake my head

"But be gentle my dear" I say sweetly and softly as she turns to the man and frowns

"Fine" she grumbles "I won't remove the abomination from this world"

She snaps her fingers and pouts, crossing her arms as she turns away, her magic vanishing as the boy sprouts a few flowers from his hair, all brightly colored

"eh?' He says a s I crouch down and grab his face "Wha"

I squeeze it and smile happily as I look him in the eyes, tasting his fears

"How about a bargain, for your soul and help I'll let you live" I purr seductively, grabbing his face "Just give your soul to my youngest and none of us will harm you, but you must obey"

He nods without thinking, as pink of smoke chains form around his neck and turn as black as ink.

I laugh and grin as I put my hand into his shadow, my brightly colored skin turning black as I melt into it, vanishing away

"Now follow my lead, and if you break our pact, well....it won't be nice for you" I say cheerfully as he stands back up, shaking
-
"Fernand, what's with the flowers, were are the intruders" an old man asked the young boy

"Sorry, I tripped and touched the pin" He says meekly, hiding his blonde head as the old man with a patch of circuits in his cheek stepped up to him glaring "they're just tourists"

"You know I moved forces away from the reported beast breaking into to see this, for all we know we have lost a portion of our home because of this" the man says softly "So tell the truth, did you really push that button of yours of thirty times, by slipping"

"it malfunctioned sir" He says weakly, covering his head "the button got stuck"

The old man's eyes glowed as the boy shrieked in agony, sparking as he fell to his knees. Ripping the flowers from his hair, the old man snorted

"Well, your mistake endangered not only us,but civilians, so for the next twenty years, you'll be assigned as janitor on the testing levels" the man said turning a way as the boy nodded, drooling as two golden orange eye's peered out of his shadow like torch lights.

And he walked along, towards the entrance of the underground labs, feeling a chill deep inside of him, like someone had ripped his heart out and replaced it with ice

>>1206916
How disappointed was Kelly when she ate a resident?
>>
>>1206916
Good thread HM, two weeks from now can't come soon enough...

I do hope that the beast isn't Kelly. She doesn't deserve to be bullied after being starved.

I also look forward to the fact that every single one of our party that isn't Kelly can turn invisible...

Though now that I think about it, that's probably bad for Kelly, taking the brunt of the distractions...whoops...

And now we wait for Maya to get more souls...she has to be close to a new level up.

Still waiting on the girls though...has to be soon...maybe...
>>
>>1206939
not very, she is however regretting it, as she's currently pulling metal out of her gums

>>1206945
hey, if she's might end up gaining a foot or two of height. She's already gained an inch
>>
>>1206958
Well that's good!

Shame that this attempt at getting the other girls to integrate didn't work so well...stupid cults...

>>1206916
Great thread as always HM, thanks for running. Glad to see Kelly had her own murder adventure while we were playing with the locals.

>>1206970

At the very least Lifa deserves it after having to put up with all this artificial shit...I say when we're done she gets a few more elemental magics and then just has a ball. Nature, Life, Wind, Weather, Earth...
>Sin(s) gained, Lust/Sloth

Pray for Galina, she will not like seeing this side of Lifa...

And I personally just look forward to the unique things we may be able to get Alith and Galina...I want cheer magic for one...
>>
>>1206970
Is there any tech there that we could fuse to our castle? Hopefully anything that can make it fly?

Can we use the underground base to make our castle bigger and add more things we're not likely to use?
>>
>>1206989
if you want to try
>>
>>1206989
But then we have to give it our special touch and we have no way of knowing that would work. Think of the asthetics!
>>
>>1207004
Neat, I personally hope to one day have an dimensional ship or star ship by the end of this quest, so Iris has a place to keep her books and specimens from other worlds.

>>1207033
We'll just pick the pretty parts so we won't have to worry about the ascetics too much. That and we could hire or see which one of our maids is an architect.
