Hey guys. You want to play through the dinner, talking with grandpa, spending the night and then going home in the morning before continuing, or do we skip to Mako worriedly asking us where we were when we go back?

>>1785428
Play through it.

>>1785428
play through

>Play through it.

We hold hands with Lyann on the way to the manor, somehow feeling a little embarrassed to have our moms smiling at us.

As we arrive, we find that for a change, both grandpa and uncle Wolfric are at home. Uncle greets us and helps our group descend from the carriage, in fact, as he was coming home from work himself.

By the way, the harpies are with him, as they use a tree from the garden to go home. Good thing too, because there's noone there and it may confuse them a little bit.

"Ah, its Master!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
"It really is Master."
"mom, I'm hungry" - Rosa

Well, Rosa is the baby of the litter, after all.

"Yes, we're staying for dinner, so just wait a little bit, alright?"
"Alright~"

Uncle makes us go in, and the children go wash before dinner. This seems to include us and the harpies, by the way.

And that's how we come tp have Lyann drying our face and hands herself after doing so for the harpies and the children (together with Zoe).

"You know I can do it myself..."
"Fuuu~ but I wanted to." - she pouts softly
"..alright"

We change the harpies from their office lady uniforms to a nice dinner dress, and head down to the dining room, where Tupac already had the house staff prepare quite the table.

Indeed, the collection of foods and treats is quite impressive. There's some really rare drops, prepared into at least [Fine] dishes by the family [Cook]

Most of these are rare drops from the keep's dungeon, of course, so they can't be acquired anywhere.

"Ah~" - Tina leaves a fluttery impression as she tries to reach for a brightly colored wine bottle

>Have them drink milk or juice

They must learn the pain of hangovers by themselves for the lesson to stick.

"Ah... this juice tastes funny..." - Tina makes a bitter face
"Oh, that's wine, dear." - Ellie wipes Tina's mouth clean and replaces her cup with one full of juice as she gives us a look

Eh, could it be we lost points with mommy Ellie?

We talk with uncle and grandfather about the work we're doing organizing the keep files, and uncle points out that a goliath engineer has brought up some blueprints for a flying weapons platform.

It will move very slowly, but can quickly rotate 360° and it is possible to install a shield all around it, so he wants us to look at them and decide if we should build some for the keep.

They do look quite solid. Its more along the lines of a small strongpoint, and while uncle says they're slow, their projected max speed would be about as fast as a normal seagle in flight, it seems.

Well, compared to the cruise speeds of the rockitships, I guess it is quite slow, but its not meant to travel long distances, after all.

It can carry (or requires) a crew of 4, and can carry a ballista of any other siege weapon, as well as numerous shields.

We would need to train the crew, though, so it won't be ready for the invasion on the Jade Islands, but it should be ready by the time the [ERROR]s attack here.

We will need to slow down ship production, since we'll need to divert workers to this project, though.

>I'd rather have another fast moving cruiser than five small weapon platforms. The cruiser has more guns.
>Its better not to place all eggs in one basket. A cruiser goes down, all six weapons go down.

"Eldric, don't open that at the dinner table."
"I am sorry, mother."

Well, we'll take a look at it later

Dinner is delicious, to the point the children and pets are quite sleepy afterwards, so we call the harpies back unto our [Menagerie] and then carry our little siblings to their beds in the manor.

Well, we're staying overnight, so we can talk about the platforms now.

Spreading the blueprints on the library table, we study them for a while. Indeed, the platforms are not -that- slow, and it's not as if we want them to go invade someone anyway.

We need them for strictly defensive purposes, after all.

That reminds us... Asmund's city has something like drone troops, controlling tons of undead with a single mobile power source.

Uhmm... I wonder if we can do something like that for automata? It would be a lot faster and cheaper to build them without a power source. Must ask Asmund to share that tech with us later.

Alright, after talking about it for a while, we decided to build the weapon platforms, with a few changes, sich as extra armor around the shield generator and a screen to shield the gunners from the weapons blast.

Well, it wasnt part of the original design, because the engineer didnt know about the lightning ballista, after all.

That should do it. Having agreed on a production schedule, we finally retire for the night.

"Alright, that should be good enough" - says uncle Wolfric as he rolls up the blueprints again
"You kids are doing an amazing job, but don't forget to prioritize the citizen's lives." - says grandpa as he stands up
"Yes father." - our uncle nods, and stores away the rolled up blutprints

With that, we leave the library and head back to check on our siblings. Portia, Athena and Elysia are already in their pajamas in Zoe's room, while our kitty little sister is busy making sure they're ready for bed together with both our moms.

Uhmm... I think Zoe should be on the 'being taken care of' end as well, but... well it can't be helped because she's such a hard worker, I think.

"You're still up and about? Are you staying for the night?" - asks mom
"I am doing a [Treestride] back to the south, or Mako will get worried."
"Yes... I can see her all flustered and worrying about your wereabouts if you didn't told her you'd be staying for the night. You have to let the girls know where you are going to be, alright?"
"Yes mother."

Linda smiles and makes sure our hair is combed and our clothes are clean before smooching our cheek and wishing us good night.

"Brother..." - starts Zoe

>No, Zoe, you can't come. (we're planning lewd things)
>No, Zoe you can't come (our moms need you to help with the littlest ones)
>Alright, alright, you can come.

I thought you were going to make a new thread so I was looking for that.

>>1803839
Uhmm I guess I should?

I thought this one was good for a bit longer but alright, hold on...

>>1803745
>>Alright, alright, you can come.

>>1803855
I think we should fill this thread some more
