"You know..." the thing trills. "I had a hunch you might saaaaaay that."

The world snaps back into focus, the mouth gone, though its voice remains. Your computer is flickering strangely, distorted images rapidly flying across the monitor.

"Soooooo, here's how it woooooorks," the voice drawls again. "This little power of yours will grooooow with time, but for now, it's pretty simple. All those games you've beaten? All those heroes, villains, or whatever you've helped? You can choose to ask a boon of them, just three a day. All you have to do is concentrate on the game you've picked, and the... hero, heroine, faction, whatever... they'll suddenly KNOW that you helped them. They'll KNOW what they owe you. And they can send you... something back through that connection I establish. Aheh... Well..." the voice pauses. "...maybe not so simple. Shall we do a test? Yes, a test... I'll pick the first game for you, something simple. Ah! That old gem. Thief, the Dark Project, yes? Let's let old Garrett know that he'd be a burnt crisp in the lava of that underground temple without your help. Let's see what he sends back."

You feel a slight thrill go through your body, some power passing through you like an electric current. Suddenly the air splits open and a bundle of arrows crashes into your lap. Arrows with heads made of writhing water.

"...Just his spare water arrows. Well, that's the thing. Pick who you ask carefully, they have to send something, but whatever they send is up to them. Garrett IS a thief... and a cheap one to boot."
>Gain 12 Water Arrows.

"Something more useful for the second example, hm? What about that one digging game... No, no Minecraft. Terraria, yes. Let's let your character in that game know you're pretty much the only reason he's lord of a small castle."

The same thrill, the same split in the air... only this time a few bars of gold and gemstones shower down, one painfully impacting on your foot. You curse aloud to the laughter of the voice.

"There, you see? Precious metal, gems, he has plenty of these, and he's more inclined to share. You got a little tad of riches from him. And you should know there's no telling what sort of thing a contacted character will send back. Money, weapons, magical stuff, random tools... It all depends who you're asking for help."

>>1955421
The thing's words drift past you as you look at the treasure at your feet. You can pay back your student loans, all your back rent, and have enough to fix up your car with this haul! ...assuming you can find a way to sell it without someone wondering where the hell you got it from.
>Gain 4 gold bars, gain 4 diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.

"Are you paying attention? Glitter of gold got your eye already... you people..." the voice sighs. "Well, here's the catch, though. You can only ask tribute of a game you've beaten, AND once you tap a game for power, you can NEVER tap that game again. Not even when that little trick I just gave you begins to mature and grow."
>The main character of this quest has the potential to gain additional powers as the quest proceeds, but once tapped for power, a game CANNOT be tapped again for the duration of the quest. Choose what to tap for what carefully.

"I think that's about it for noooooow. If you have any obvious questions, I might answer them before returning home. Really, I can't wait to see what you do with this."

>>1955433
Oh boy sundelly all my attemps to increase the intimacy in dragon age and mass effect finaly make sense.

>>1955458
"Perhaps a good time to point out that you cannot REQUEST what sort of thing you get back... Hmhm, no no. You'll have to make do with what you get."

>On that note...

That horrid smile returns for a moment. "Really, what does it matter what I am? Aren't I giving you a dream come true for... well, nothing, really? Do you have so many gift horses you can look them all in the mooooouth?"

The smile floats around your small apartment, hovering near flaking paint and cracked floorboards.

"I don't preteeeeeend to understand fully this quaint little society of yours, but it seems to me you're pretty looooooow on the totem pole here. Depending how you use it... well, this could be your chance to escape your... aheh, circumstances."

Alright Well considering that we have all this gold and stuff maybe we should sell it. Head to the local jewler or pawnshop to start selling shit

Rolled 96 (1d100)

>>1955699
You've never had enough money... or reason to visit a jeweler, but you drive past a pawn shop on your way to work. It's a little late, but you think they're still open. You could also wait until tomorrow, find and visit an actual jeweler. Work might wonder where you are, but you can afford to burn a sick day. A better question is how you will approach selling your loot. Just dump it on the counter and ask for a price quote?

>You have a use of Tribute left for the day as well.

>>1955747
Look up the baseline price of all the stuff online See around what I could get for it then tomorrow come back to the jeweler and try to sell the smallest bit of gold we have so they on't miff us on the price for the big pile. After we get a good quote from them bring in the rest of the stuff to sell. Also Civ 6 russia knows I am responsible for them now owning the world with giant death robots

>Game added: Civilization 6 (as Russia, tech up)

You spend the rest of the night doing some basic research on gold prices. Currently it's sitting around $1,200 per ounce... though you're not sure how many ounces are in one of these bars. All you know is that they are very heavy.

>Day passes. Day 2 Tribute refreshes: 3/3 uses.

After going through the shops in your area, you think your best bet is a small family owned jeweler's in the better part of town. You take the day off work, make the drive and produce one of the gold bars to the elderly man at the counter.

The man arches an eyebrow and takes the bar, placing it carefully on some large scales. After making some careful notes, he inspects the bar carefully.

"No markings... of any kind here. I'm tempted to ask where you got it, but..." the man looks around. The only other customers are an old married couple in the corner looking at necklaces. He whispers to you. "...I can pay you a hundred thousand for it. No questions asked."

>>1955831
"Deal and I can get a lot more very quickly if you are willing to meet me tomorrow someplace secretive pro tip bring a lot of money" He seems like a shady guy we can do business with.

>>1955853
The man looks at you, searching your face for signs of duplicity or treachery. Finally he takes the gold bar behind the counter and begins counting out hundred dollar bills.
"...perhaps. Tomorrow is no good, though, maybe in three day's time? I have a special appraiser I bring in for big purchases. He'll want to meet with you. You have a phone number?"
>Gain $100,000 cash in large bills. Lose 1 gold bar.

>>1955885
Well shit we got a ton of money now and three days of nothing to do I say we try something fun. Also mass effect 2 (the superior mass effect)

Both of those statements are true. You also have three days worth of Tribute charges if you want to do anything with them.

Also, are you giving the jeweler your contact information?

>>1956015
A few dollars for an opportunity to make a few hundred thousand seems like a good trade to you. You get the phone and pass off the number to the jeweler, who pockets it quickly.

"I'll be in touch."

>>1956008
What sort of fun thing are you trying?

Tell him to wait then get a burner phone like >>1956015 suggested and I suppose we should use our last tribute for today before it ends question is which one

>>1956043
You've only added a few games to the roster since game start, so currently you have Civ6, Mass Effect 2, and Contra to try and gain a tribute from.

Ideas for games
Payday2 - Dallas
Borderlands
Game dev tycoon???
Portal 1 and 2

also how do MMOs work for tribute?

>>1956083
Well the guy says the games are all completed so I assume the tribute could be any main quest or story item that the character could have depending on what the qm is feeling.

Back in the secluded environment of your shitty apartment, you let the Vault Hunters of Borderlands 1 that it was your hand that saved them from the armies of Atlas and the monster within the Vault...

You feel that thrill of power surge through you, and when you look down, you're holding some weird device. A little experimentation and you figure out it's a high grade rechargeable shield of the sort the Vault Hunters wore. Probably a spare they had? Not exactly mind boggling, but a bulletproof shield could definitely come in handy... You turn it on and conceal it under your shirt.

You look at your wardrobe. It's mostly T-shirts, jeans, and sweatpants, with some khakis and button-ups for work. It's pretty terrible, like most things in you life.

Your eye goes over to the rolls of hundred dollar bills piled on your table. That changes today.

You take a quick shower and pull on some jeans and a shirt before you hop in your beat up car and drive to the mall. You don't know much about fashion, but you're pretty sure you can do better than what you have. Much better. And while you're out there... you love your box like a brother, but it's getting pretty old. It could do with a twin. A much newer, fancier, more expensive twin.

You end up dropping five thousand over the internet for just that, ordering part after part for the very best you can get, your dream PC. With budget not being a concern, you overnight everything. It'll be here tomorrow.

An hour later finds you flashing a few hundreds to a tailor in an upscale clothing shop. You sit back as he takes your measurements, then starts bringing out suits for you to browse. A TV set up near the store display plays some news program as you kick back and pick out some clothes. The suits make you look professional, high class. You've got a lot of money, more on the way, and a very, very unique skill. You could probably make a lot of money investing what you have, or opening a business, but that would take some planning. Still... it's a good idea. You'll have to think more about it after your shopping spree.

It's only after you have picked out three suits and a few casual outfits that some of the broadcast's words reach your distracted ears.

"...strange lights were reported shortly before the explosion. No casualties were reported, but the condemned house was leveled to the ground in the resulting fire. Police have cordoned off the area and an investigation is under way. It is believed that some sort of gas leak occurred, given the bizarre reports that came in from local residents. Those people are now being treated for chemical exposure."

You don't know why, but a chill goes down your spine.

>>1956340
Oh right, add Gemcraft 1, 0, and Chasing Shadows to the list. Those take waaaaay to long to play in-quest.

>>1956368
Games added.

>>1956340
You shake off the feeling and make your purchases, returning home with several new outfits fit for someone with money to throw around. The day is starting to wind down, though you feel pretty good about what you've done today. You don't quite know what's going to happen with this strange power of yours, but making a ton of money in the first day is always a good sign, right?

>Day 2 is ending, and so is this session. Thread will go active again in 19 hours. You can add games or discuss plans until then.

>>1956340
k guys i know how we should play this out. for now and until our ability changes in some way we pick out games with the intent to get stuff randomly. since we have no clue what we are going to get. and as such plan our days with what we HAVE rather than what we might get

as such calling tribute from Archmage khadgar of the kirin tor from the game world of warcraft since we helped him deal with gul'dan... twice...

>>1956549
Sounds like a fair idea. Would also like to try and get more magic stuff something that can't be bought in our world. I suggest maybe getting something from a daedra from skyrim maybe something from the nightmother for being the best god damn assassin ever.

>>1956590
i'd say hold of on the magic until we can specify what we want. i mean do you want a crazy magical staff of doom and destruction if you cant use the fucking thing.

Just found this, looks neat as fuck.

Add Saints row 3 for some hopefully awesome as fuck weapon to go with our shield.

Save saints row 4 for later when our power advances a lot, might get a space ship or satans halo if we're lucky

Are we gonna do any character generating or do you have something in mind already? (Suit wearing qt girl gamer sounds good to me btw) also adding pokemon emerald, pokebro would be fun.

I would not be opposed to the players naming our unnamed gamer. You defaulted to All Round Gamer since no one voted otherwise for the Specialization.

If you want to do some chargen, I'm not opposed either. I wasn't going to force it, but you can throw in some suggestions for appearance, and profession, but whatever you pick, you're starting poor as hell with few friends.

Look up where that explosion was
Realistically you've been given powers by, essentially, a demon and hearing about it gave you chills
You've played enough video games to understand the concept of foreshadowing

Try and talk to the mouth again and ask if there is any way to trigger the power increases

>>1959389
You look up the news article on the recent explosion. Seems like it happened at an abandoned house in the bad part of town, a place called "Lumbarg Street." It's most definitely not a good neighborhood, which is why the reporters speculate that the rather bizarre reports from local residents about strange lights and hallucinations of bizarre men and a giant lizard were probably caused either by drug use or a gas leak from the run down infrastructure.

If you want to talk to the Mouth, I need to know what you are going to say.

>>1959421
"Hey Mouthy, is the anything I can do to actively make my powers grow?"

Maybe go check Lumbarg street out
Buy some shitty second hand car so nobody will steal it when you drive there
Buy a guy too, just some hand gun with a decent magazine size

>>1959446
For a moment there is silence. Then a white line splits the air and the mouth returns.
"Well of cooooourse. Like any muscle, this new power of yours grows with uuuuuuuse. Use your power and it will grooooooow."

>Buy a guy
That's certainly possible on Lumbarg Street, but maybe you meant buy a gun?

The local pawn shop has a Beretta 9mm for sale if you want to drop the coin on it.

Your current car is quite secondhand and shitty, by the way. Do you want two shitty cars?

You make your way to the pawn shop and ask to see the Beretta you saw the last time you were here. It's cheap, it's reliable, and ammo is plentiful. There's only one problem.

Getting a firearms license seems easy enough so long as you're not an ex-con, it's just somewhat tedious and requires a fee here and there. If you want, you can get licensed in a few weeks if you to burn the time taking the required safety classes and waiting for the background check.

>Tribute.
You let Jack Rourke he had more than his skill helping him through his races. A moment later, a briefcase falls from the air, alongside a simple paper note that reads. "Here's your cut. -Jack."

The briefcase is full of money.

Shortly after that, the doorbell rings and you suppress a second giddy thrill as you see the various boxes housing your computer parts arrive. Is it time to build that new PC you've dreamed about, or do you have something else to do today?

>>1960114
Finish putting up the computer

I half expected to get a car out of need for speed but i suppose we can just buy one now.

Add game: portal if we havn't already. We've got money and a gun, hopefully we can get something for mobility.

>>1960205
You spend the rest of the day putting together your new computer, installing all the programs you want on it, and then just doing what you do best: play a shitton of games on it.

You have quite a lot of fun, though it certainly says something about you that when given hundreds of thousands of dollars and magical powers you still prefer to stay inside and blow things up with a mouse and keyboard. Then again, if you weren't that sort of person, you probably wouldn't have been chosen by that strange smile for his little experiment.

All's well that ends well, you guess... except of course this is just beginning. Tomorrow you're meeting with the shady jeweler and his shady appraiser. You're fairly certain that's either going to go very well or very poorly... with no in between.

>Day 3 ends.

Tribute refreshes: 3/3 uses.

Your dreams were rather odd last night. Dreams of red, green, and blue and snow whipping around you. Dreams of distorted voices booming commands and shrieking in terror or anger. It's a relief to wake up.

As you get out of bed, you look at the battered calendar tacked to your wall. Sunday. Today's your last day of freedom before another work week... though you start to think this would be the time to quit if ever there was one. Low pay, long, boring hours... and being the only IT staff member for a small office more or less means there's nowhere else to go.

But that's a choice for tomorrow.

Right now, you've got a meeting to prepare for.

>>1960236
You have Portal in the library, but it hasn't been tapped yet.

Unfortunately that's all the time I have for tonight. See you all tomorrow. As usual, you might want to use that time to suggest games or figure out what you want to do to get ready for the meeting, if anything. Or just figure out what you want to burn the day's tributes on.

Very wise, very wise indeed, Georgie.

You browse through the files. The images are all complicated blueprints, while the pdfs are, not surprisingly, in Russian. Whatever you have on disc here seems to be something very complicated and scientific, a machine of some sort. It's nothing immediately identifiable like a giant robot or gun or anything like that, though.

>>1963174
I assume this is something that will take a lot of money to build we also need to translate those documents but I don't wanna put in google. We have to download an offline russian translator. Before that though I a gonna try to scouter the smiling man.

You slip on the shield, hide your gun in the car's backseat, and get ready to roll.

A half-hour later, you're parked in the alley behind the local butcher shop, your loot stashed safely in the trunk of your car. You see the jeweler accompanied by an imposing man in a suit, diamond cuff-links sparkling on his wrists.

They waste no time, approaching you as you get out of the car.

"You said more," the jeweler says, not bothering with a greeting. "How much more?"

>>1963403

Open the trunk and show them.

>>1963429
Without a word, you motion them back to your beat up car and pop the trunk. The jeweler frowns as he looks inside, staring at the remaining three gold bars and the small bag of jewels.

"Yes, yes, it looks nice..." he looks to you. "But I thought you said a LOT more. This is just... more."

>>1963484
I mean, it's over 300% more. That's a lot to me.

"I was thinking you'd have a carload... still. No sense wasting a trip. This will do for a while," he looks to you. "When I ask you if you can get more than this, will you do me the courtesy of giving me an estimate how much more you can get?"

>>1963520
Sure. Maybe we should exchange numbers?

>>1963552
"Hmph. Let's see what the numbers are, first."
The jeweler produces an eyepiece and inspects the gems thoroughly. "Roughly cut, but high quality stones. I'll buy them with the gold."

The jeweler snaps his fingers. The big man next to him opens a briefcase and counts out some of the money before handing you the briefcase.

"My number is going to be one hundred thousand for each of those bars you can get me. Gemstones depend on appraisal. There's a number in the case, call it when you're ready to deliver." He pauses. "Can we depend on more deliveries?"

>>1963576
>Hell yeah you can. I'll bring a carload next time.

Definitely will never regret this

>>1963592
The old man smiles thinly.
"Then I believe we are done here."
The jeweler's... associate grabs the loot and stuffs it into a nondescript duffel bag before the two turn and walk away, leaving you with yet more money.

The rest of the day is before you now that your probably illicit deal is done. Counting the money reveals it's just shy of half a million dollars, bringing your total funds up to more money than you've ever seen in your entire life. Of course, now you have a vaguely threatening old man expecting more every once in a while, but them's the breaks, right?

What's the next step in your master plan?

>>1963625
I say we go ask the imperatius from cortex command for something

also adding game: cortex command imperatius campaign

>>1963625
Add an Elder Scrolls game where you used a hack to get millions of gold and potions. Let's say Oblivion.

Use it.

>>1963637
>>1963639
Games Added. Only one tribute use left, defaulting to first entry.

Once safely at home, you call upon your power for the final time today.

A small crate of gold bars stamped with the emblem of the Imperatus crashes to your apartment floor, cracking it where it lands. Still, you can probably afford to pay for repairs and far more with that sort of cargo... You estimated there's about forty bars in the crate, each just a little bigger than your tribute from Terraria.

You are out of tribute uses, but you have most of the day still open. How shall you spend it?

>>1963689
Lets start getting our gun license

>>1963692
A bit dull, but you suppose it's necessary work. You find the state website, print out all the forms, fill them out and schedule a time to go take the classes. In a few weeks you'll be able to display that rifle openly... in your house. Even if open carry is technically legal here, it's a good way to draw unneeded attention. The concealed permit you applied for will let you carry a pistol around if you get one.

The day ends and you trudge off to bed...

There are no dreams at all tonight. It's as if you close your eyes at night and open them at morning.

>Day 4 ends.
>Day 5 begins.
>Tribute refreshes, 3/3 uses left.

You have an impressive stockpile of money, but other than that and fancy new clothes, your circumstances haven't changed much. You realize in the back of your mind that they'll be expecting you at work today. A better question is if you want to go, and if you don't, are you taking more sick days or just telling them to take the job and shove it?

>>1963752

Tribute used. 2/3 Remain

You focus your mind and let good old Jack Rourke know you helped him more than the one time. In terms of gratitude the man really only has money and cars to send, and he gave you the one last time, so it stands to reason you get the other this time.

Unfortunately, this is where you learn one of the rules of Tribute the hard way.

A very nice, classic BMW erupts through the air in front of you...

...right into your living room, crushing your television, destroying your only table and chairs, and putting an alarming strain on the floor judging from the groans you hear. A shot of adrenaline floods your system as you look over to your two computers, but you see them just a foot short of being hit by the car. Some part of you sighs in relief. You've still got a car stuck in your living room, but at least you still have internet.

It seems like whatever you tribute will appear directly in front of you, no matter where you are or what it is.

>>1963920
Slight oversight well. I guess attempt to bring the car out after we take the pcs out and into safe distance

>>1963932
If it looks like we can't take it out then lets higher some contract workers should take like 50,000 dollars

What floor are we on? The car, all that gold...this could get much worse in a hurry.

>>1963960
We should probably consider getting new digs with a ground floor. And a garage

>>1963960
Fourth floor, and you ARE hearing groans. It's probably a good idea not to press the load limit any further.

>>1963932
How will you attempt to extract the car?

>>1964001
Hire contractor knock out a wall and call a powerloader to get it out

>>1964004
You browse through some local contractors and pick one... mainly at random since you don't know anything about contracting and you don't really care about the money. They'll be at your apartment tomorrow morning.

>>1963896
One anon wants to quit your job. This will give you significantly more time at the cost of a steady and legal income stream. Then again, you are already rich and it's only been a few days. All in favor/opposed?

>>1963917
The jeweler has nothing to do with your day job. You have the unfortunate distinction of working IT for a small office.

>>1964029
Thought he meant saying stuff him to the jewler when he asked if we could get more sorry. And yeah quit job

>>1964029

Let's quit our job, add Nethack to our Tribute, and pray we get the Amulet of Yendor.

>>1964070
If you want that maybe wait till the power develops to collect on that

>>1964079

Hmm, that's probably a better idea. With our luck, we'd end up with an Amulet of Strangulation. Hmm, why don't we add Portal to our Tribute and just portal our BMW to the parking lot?

>>1964101
Yeah lets claim portal

File: nethack.png (114 KB, 2610x870)

>>1964070
You decide to keep it short and sweet.

"Hello? Mr. Harris?" you ask when the call connects. "I quit. Stuff this job up your ass."

"W-w-WHAT?!" the voice on the other end bellows before you terminate the call, a sense of smug satisfaction warming your heart.

>Game Added: Nethack.
>Tribute used: 1/3 remaining.

A giddy thrill jolts through you... and a simple, brown leather bag falls from the air in front of you.

>>1964123
??????? a leather bag from portal?

>>1964123

Fuck, 'ere we go! First, let's poke it with a stick to ensure its not a Bag of Tricks

>>1964155
You poke it with a stick.

Nothing happens.

>>1964147
>>1964111
No, though on that note...

You burn your last tribute of the day to let Chell know she had more than a companion cube on her side against GlaDOS. There is a pause before a very strange pair of boots clatter to the floor in front of you, landing perfectly straight and upright.

>>1964167
Honestly the boots aren't that bad. And we got a shield so equip them both and open up the bag I guess.

Bag of holding?? Nah, look in the bag.

>>1964172
>>1964171
The bag has nothing in it.

>>1964123

Open the leather bag.

Add Super Smash Bros Melee to the list.

Start looking into how we might be able to launder our sudden windfall.

Put a gold bar in the bag... Test the weight...

>>1964192
The bag has nothing in it.

Game Added: Super Smash Bros Melee.

>>1964189
Ask the smiling man if he knows what the bag is and maybe scouter it see what its made of.

>>1964210
Putting a gold bar into the bag seems to dramatically lessen the weight. It's almost as if the bar weighs only a fourth of what it did before.

>>1964225
Try to fit car into it?

>>1964214
You fiddle with the scouter. It's got a lot more features than you thought, but all it can tell you about the bag is that it's imbued with a strange power source.

The Smiling Man does not respond to your plea this time.

>>1964230
Unfortunately, the car can't fit past the opening to the bag no matter how much you stretch it.

>>1964269

Let's fill the bag to capacity and observe the change in weight, I'm assuming this is a Bag of Holding, which is surprisingly useful.

>>1964283
You deduce correctly, after a bit of experimentation you figure out that anything you put in the bag has 3/4 of its weight negated. It is a Blessed Bag of Holding.

And on that note the quest is paused again. I'll resume it in 11 hours, though I don't know for how long. You are out of tributes for the day, so all you really need to do is decide what you want to do before I get back. See you then!

Good run qm, this quest is pretty fun! Have a good night.

>>1964299
Thank you! You do the same.

>>1964308
Really enjoy this Qm its great

>>1964331
Thank you.

My schedule just got changed a fair bit, so....

>Quest resumes.

How do you spend the rest of the day?

>>1964869

Playing video games, what else?

>>1964869
this >>1964938
maybe also skim the news at some point to see if any other weird stuff is going on, but why not spend the day with video games

>>1964938
Should probably deal with the car first and get a new house that isn't almost breaking down. Also spelunky.

>>1964953
After that though video games are a fair way to spend the day

>>1964947
>>1964938
With nothing else to do, you whittle away the hours working on the latest batch of games you downloaded from Steam. The time flies by until you feel your stomach grumble and get up, gingerly making your way around the BMW stuck in your living room to the kitchen.

Hot Pockets? Seriously? How stereotypical...

Well, whatever. It's all that's left except for the breakfast cereal. You'll have to go shopping soon. You pop those bad boys into the microwave and bring up some news sites on your computer to browse while you eat.

Same old shit, really. Various leaders of the world call each other assholes while not actually calling them assholes, the usual assortment of crime and human interest stories...

...wait.

What the hell?

Some town in Canada named Harmont was just evacuated for an unspecified disaster.

Unspecified disaster... What the hell does that mean? Don't they know if it's a fire, or a tornado, or a maple syrup shortage or whatever the hell goes on up here? Details are very, very scarce, but the government's pulling everyone out of the town and early reports claim the Canadian Grenadier Guards have been deployed for "peacekeeping operations."

What the hell is going on over there?

World news runs out fast after that, and you read up on the local news, hoping to find more about the incident at Lumbarg Street. There's no additional information on that, but there's a human interest story about real life superheroes, those people that walk around the streets in costumes and call cops if they see crime. The article says that your very own town might have one, as eyewitness reports have someone walking around in full plate armor punching out a bunch of street thugs and leaving them tied up for the police. The odd thing... aside from the obvious, is that police report the thugs were tied up with fifty feet of rope made from pure silk.

The microwave dings and you make your way to your dinner, wondering just what is going on out there...

>Day 5 ends.

This time it's dreams of hissing static, flickering colors and two voices, muffling, barely audible through the white noise. They compete for your attention, shouting over each other.

"..an you hear me? Can you hear me?"

"...empting contact. Don't listen to he-"

"...ot coming through. Listen!"

"Turn off that interference code! What about no..."

"...an't get through, try again..."

Your eyes snap open and you have an odd feeling of disorientation for a moment. You groggily look over at your alarm clock. Eight o' clock. You can make do with six hours of sleep. The contractors will be here in an hour, you'd better look... well, at least showered and dressed. Other than that the day is open.

>Day 6 begins.
>Tribute refreshes: 3/3.

A house in which part of town?

You stagger outside in your bathrobe and feel the power course through you. A SHOWER of diamonds clatters from the sky, each stone nearly the size of your fist. Sixty four diamonds. Sixty four giant diamonds, and they're all yours...

"What the fuck..." you hear someone gasp.

You look up and some poor middle-aged man in a sleeveless shirt walking his dog outside your apartment building is looking at your diamond pile in awe, a cigarette limply falling from his mouth. Suddenly more aware, you look around and notice people gawking from the safety of nearby windows, and at least one car slowing down considerably as it drives down the road.

You've made a bit of a scene, it seems. How are you going to handle this?

>>1965009
Oh look at my wonderful magic show. Any and all donations are apreciated. Maybe one day if all are you are kind I can use real diamonds instead of the obvious fake large plastic ones.

>>1965014
You feel the eyes still on you from a few windows. Some of them move away, the car speeds up again, many people all too willing to accept any explanation that would let them say "Whatever" and get back to their lives.

The man with the dog is still staring.

"You... you just sort of blinked... then diamonds from thin air..." he looks around. "Where the hell did they come from? How'd you do that?"

The man seems unconvinced, but there's little he can do but walk off as you gather an armload of diamonds and bring them inside. You have to repeat this process three more times, finally putting them in a pile next to the crate of gold you have. Only after this is done do you realize that two of the diamonds are missing.

>Game Added: Knights of the Old Republic.

>>1965058
Well I guess sell the diamonds when we can wait for the contractor also tap spelunky to get some more this time maybe in the kitchen or something away from the car.

Tribute used. 1/3 left.

You let the Spelunker know he had a hidden partner in all those treasure hunts, and a giant golden idol appears in front of your refridgerator, flanked by a few gold bars and a handful of gems. The floor begins to groan here as well, and you get the sense that the only reason it hasn't given way is because you had the sense to summon the treasure away from the car, where the weight could be better distributed.

Really, your apartment is beginning to look like a safehouse for Indiana Jones, or the backroom of Fort Knox with all the gold and gems you're acquiring.

You're about to call your 'friend' the jeweler to sell some of this stuff when there's a knock on the door. The contractors are here.

>>1965134
Go out to meet them tell them what wall to knock down and where the car is to remove it. Say we part ordered a bmw and assembled it in the living room since we don't have a garage. We realized to late that it was probably a bad idea

>>1965138
The contractors listen to you almost numbly as they look around at your apartment full of cash, gold, gems, and an untouched BMW sitting in the living room.

"We're... ah... going to have to call up some special equipment for this one..." the one with the clipboard says, flipping through the papers he has. "You're on the fourth floor... so we'll need to knock out the exterior wall and have a crane lower your car from the... um... living room down to the ground. I'm not going to lie, your car is probably going to take a little damage. You'll need to be out of the apartment while we work. Knocking the wall down will be easy, but putting it back up will take a little time..."

The contractor looks up from his clipboard.

"...you DO have permission from your landlo-"

"What the FUCK!?"

That last loud outburst comes from the mouth of your landlord, one Walter Nennick, a perpetually harried man with no hair, glasses, and a rumpled shirt. With wild eyes, he gestures at the BMW, the multiple cracks in the floor, the gold, the gems...

"What the FUCK is going on here?!" he shouts at you. "What have you done to my floor?! Why is there a car in my building?! Why all the fake gold and shit, are you getting ready for a pirate themed Halloween?!" He whirls around to face the contractors. "And why the hell do you have contractors here? You have to approve putting a nail in the wall for posters, you think you can just have contractors roll in and remodel?! Jesus H, I came up here to check in on a complaint, and this... this..."

Walter trails off.

"You better have a damn good explanation for this!"

>>1965169
I have the best explanation for this. <bring out wad of money to pay for the apartment>. I recently got a lucrative business venture and am moving out. I got a bit enthusiastic and bought all this fake stuff to make me seem rich and then the bmw I built in a fanatic enthusiastic fit but fear not I will take my shit and get away from this apartment while paying you generously for the wall and repair.

>>1965182
Also pokemon gold and silver

>>1965182
Game Added: Pokemon Gold and Silver.

Your landlord eyes you suspiciously, then grabs the cash and counts it. "You're going to need more than this. So long as you pay for all repair... out of your own pocket... I'll need to hire an inspector to make sure everything was done right and there's no harm to my building. There's also fees for failing to follow established procedure, noise complaints, disruption to the other tenants..." Walter looks up and gives you a searching look. "Ten thousand. Ten thousand and I'll overlook all this."

>>1965225
We can spare that besides we got 62 diamonds larger than the worlds largest diamond along with a solid gold idol from an ancient tomb and some gold bars we fine on money

>>1965234
"Deal."
You go over to the briefcase you got from Rourke and count out ten thousand dollars and hand it to Walter. He snatches the money up immediately gives you a polite nod before walking rather fast to the door. The two contractors look at each other.

"So, uh, we'll have all the stuff ready to begin by tomorrow. Our estimate for all this work is around fifty thousand bucks. You have a place to stay?"

Stuff the gold and gems into the bag of holding.

Game: Final Fantasy: Record Keeper

>>1965255

"No worries, we've got it covered."

We'll just rent ourselves a room at the nearest hotel, and transport our diamonds and gold using the Blessed Bag of Holding

You wait until the contractors finish their measurements, then fill your bag to capacity with gems and gold. It's still extremely heavy, but at least you can move it. Currently it's holding all of your gems and some of the gold from the crate. You couldn't fit all of it into the bag, unfortunately. You'll need to figure out somewhere else to put it, unless you want to just leave it here.

>>1965357
You shake the contractor's hand and make your way to a hotel closer to the city. You're tempted to get a room in the city proper with one of the big, fancy hotels, but for now you settle on a Holiday Inn since it's much closer. Of course the contractors won't be ready until tomorrow, so you don't have to stay there tonight, but your reservation will be ready when you do.

So with what remains of the day, what do you do?

>>1965370
Game Added: Armored Core: Verdict Day.

You currently have debt on your car and student loans in the amount of twenty thousand dollars total. You can pay this off easy with the money you've acquired, but it will mean making a very large deposit to your bank, then scheduling an online payment via the lenders' website. Do you want to do this? If so, how much money do you want to deposit?

>>1965404
Call up the jewler say we got a new haul and do we still have a charge left? Also is it possible to ask for how close we are for the power evolving?

>>1965419
We should deposit 5,000 and use that to star paying debts don't want too much money going in at once.

>>1965404

Put the bag in our shitty car and rent a storage unit. Take all gold in multiple trips if need be.

mybe start thinking about makeing a company?

>>1965430
You deposit five thousand dollars into your account. The clerk raises an eye at the large amount of cash, but shrugs. Later you use that money to knock out what's left to pay on your crappy car, plus a bit from your student loans.
>15,000 left on student loans.

You have one use of tribute left. You're not sure how close you are for power tier up... but something tells you you're nearing it. Just a feeling.

You call up the old jeweler.

"Yeeeess?" he says, drawing out the word.

"Got a new haul. Much more this time," you say.

"How much more?" the man asks. "I don't want to be disappointed again. I made promises I couldn't quite keep... and that's unhealthy to do so often."

"Forty bars. A bit bigger than the ones I sold you last time."

"Forty..." the man murmurs. "Now that is a nice, round number. Meet me in four days, same place." He pauses. "These goods aren't... no, never-mind. It'd be all over the news. Yes, four days."

Then he hangs up.

>>1965483

I'll leave you to debate it for a while.

You spend your remaining hours researching what it takes to start a company. Mainly you need capital, especially if you are looking into establishing a research firm. Even small scale research companies usually have to have funding in the millions to actually get anything done.

>Day 6 ends.

As you drift off to sleep, you feel something... change. Your connection to this power you have has grown stronger. You believe you might be able to summon tribute much faster and with less concentration now.

>Tier 2 power: Fast Collection. You can summon tribute instantly, without need for concentration or effort so long as it's done with a game that's been added to the library at least thirty posts prior to the summoning. This essentially allows you to try and summon help on the fly if you get into sticky situations.

>Quest Resumes

You have more strange dreams tonight. You're starting to wonder if that's just going to be a thing now that you're linked to the occult by your bizarre power. Images flash through your mind, indistinct, blurry. Voices again, murmuring, whispering...

"I can't believe it! I can't believe it actually happened! I flew through the sky... This... I've never been so happy..."

"No... No, I can't have made such a mistake... They're not all dead, are they? Someone had to have made it out... the people on the outskirts are fine, but at the center..."

"Shit, shit, shit, I can't lose control like that again, nothing big like that again until I get some experience with this. Gotta be smart. Gotta be in control. Come on, come on..."

"Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic to be able to make anything I want happen. There's no need to hide anymore. The entire world will be my stage."

"This can't be all there is. This can't be true. I knew this deal was a bad idea..."

Then a terrible, toothy smile and you wake up.

You pack your suitcase and throw it in the car for your stay at the hotel, waving goodbye to your apartment for the time being. The contractors are all ready to go, loads of hammers, sledges, picks... you gulp as you remember your precious computers and hope they have the good sense to be careful.

Still, you stop at a pet store along the way and stare at the snakes in their cages. You finger the bronze medallion hanging around your neck and concentrate on the snakes moving left. They do so. You concentrate on them moving right. They do so. The medal does indeed seem to grant you some influence over reptiles and snakes.

There's a national park that people use for hiking, camping, and picnicking about twenty minutes away. A little bit of a drive... but it actually would be the perfect place to experiment a bit with Tributes.

You head out that way, parking your car in the lot with the other guests and hiking for another twenty minutes until you find a spot you know well. It's a little pond located just a east of the park's western border. You used to fish here, once.

You concentrate and feel that otherworldly connection once more. A moment later, a Sherman tank materializes in front of you. Fully fueled, loaded, and with an engraving with your name on it on the turret that says, "Keep fighting for freedom!"

Well. Very thoughtful of them. It's... going to be a bit hard to do anything with, though.

Buy a house or mansion in the rich part of the city with a huge yard. we could keep our stuff their. might need a huuuge moving truck to move the tank though

You actually don't have enough money yet for a mansion in the rich part of the city, though you can afford a nice house there.

>>1966940
But you can't afford the warehouse if you do that. So you must choose one.

Hmm I'm going to vote warehouse.

Also I'll tribute FF Record Keeper since we're in the boondocks

I'd also suggest a rural vacant lot we can purchase for when buildings start appearing.

In that case, we'll rent a warehouse and sleep in it until we can sell our loot to the jeweler's associate, business before pleasure and all that.

It's decided. Once you get back to the hotel, you're using their business center to look up warehouses to rent.

But the tow truck company would report us. Why don't we just buy a very large camoflagued tarp and conceal the tank with that until we can figure out what to do with it? Rolling for potential concealment, also, judging by our dreams, we aren't the only one with supernatural powers so we'd better watch out for that.

>>1967280

Yes another fine fucking mess. So wtf do we tell Mr. Ranger or that troop of boy scouts when they stumble across a tank with an engraving to us in the middle of the forest?

Never mind the small fact that we got a car stuck in a building not to long ago.

>Stop summoning fucking cars!!

>>1967421
You're relatively sure a civilian towing vehicle doesn't have enough power to tow the 84,000lbs tank.

Are you leaving the tank here for now and heading back to get that warehouse?

On your way back with the tarps secure in the back of your car, you notice a rather large number of police and SWAT vehicles around the entrance to the park. You have a very short amount of time to decide to enter the park anyway, or cut your losses.

>>1967547

Sheeeit, let's GTFO out of dodge, come back in a week when the heat dies down, and use a fake ID until then.

it already has our name on it so might as well try to get it back

You swing by your apartment on your way back and extract your electronics. The contractors have already knocked out a good portion of the wall. It's somewhat unsettling seeing your living place for so long be demolished.

You make your way back to the hotel and set your computer up. There's some forums and imageboards you lurk on. Time to see if anything's up.

You spend two hours with your face in front of the flickering screen. Most of it was just the same old skub wars and idort arguing you're deadened to after years on the internet. There are a few things that catch your eye, though...

There's a thread made by someone living in Canada asking for updates on the situation in Harmont. He's asking if anyone knows what's going on over there, he has relatives in the town over and is worried about them. A significant amount of people in the thread say they've never heard of the place before a few days ago. One person insists up and down that the town used to be called something else. Another insists that there never WAS a Harmont until the news reported it. Several people report that the Canadian Armed Forces have set up a military cordon around the area. A few enterprising people have tried to fly drones over the no-go zone and reported back pictures that make no sense. Strange growths over buildings, pillars of fire, electrical discharges repeating in thin air, and places where the air is wavy.

Another thread has someone wondering if they've gone insane. They insist they saw someone fly over the road they were on... surfing on a cloud. They are generally mocked by everyone on the board, even after they produce phone pictures, which are immediately claimed as fakes.

The final thread of note is simply a cryptic poem that the other posters are wondering about...

>>1967761

Alright, let's go to sleep for now, and keep our recently acquired assault rifle within arm's reach. How much longer until the gold trade?

>>1967761
take a look at the poem

>>1967632
To be fair, it is just your first name. It's bad, but could be worse.

>>1967739
"Things are getting fun! You can always get more tanks, but experience is forever."

>>1967761
The poem just reads...

"The green man smiles in shadow
The grin that leads to sin
He incurs the debt that other worlds owe
But doesn't tell you the cost to your own skin
Beware the toothy one and shun the god of frogs
In the end you saved their worlds, but what happens to the turning of the great cogs?"

Most of the posters are calling him a "role-playing fag", or saying, "Mmmm, new pasta." The OP has not responded since that post.

The Harmont thread devolves into government conspiracy shitposting once you post that about someone majorly fucking up.

You post a thread asking if anyone else was visited by a toothy man. You give a vague description of your first encounter. You are immediately accused of trying to force a new creepypasta. The thread fills up with shitposts pretty fast, but one reply catches your eye.

>>1968008
>>1967992
You give a cheerful toot. The note it plays seems unusually clear. The main problem is that you have no idea how to actually PLAY an ocarina. That might prove an obstacle in using this item.

With that in mind, you go to bed. The strange dreams do not come this night. Instead, you dream of a warm, sunny island, and friends you've never met.

>Day 7 ends.

You can put anything you can carry in your hands into the bag as a rule of thumb. You can fit your rifle into it if you want.

Thank you.

Games added. It takes a while, but with the rest of the money you got from Jack, you lease a huge warehouse located at the city limits. It's big enough you can convert the office into your living space while using the main warehouse floor for whatever. The lease term is for one year, at $800,000. You never knew this shit was that expensive... Going through all the paperwork also takes up nearly the entire day! It's early evening now.

You reach out to Alex Roivas, and you get the sense she's not actually surprised to learn of your involvement. A black box clatters to the floor in front of you.

>>1968338

>>1968399
You open the black box. It's a series of... papers? Papers written in flowing script. A treatise on how to retain one's mental focus, written by one Alexandra Roivas and dedicated... to you?

She sent you lessons on how to strengthen your mental fortitude.

>>1968453
We can read it later, time to move all our stuff to the warehouse.

It takes you most of the day to move your stuff into the warehouse. You have to hire movers to help you with the bigger stuff, but at the end of it, you've got your desk with your computer set up against one wall and your bed right next to it. It's a big mess, but it'll do for now. You can fall asleep easily enough, straighten it all up later.

You roll off the mattress in your warehouse and onto the cold concrete floor, muttering a curse. You hear annoyed meowing and see that in your sleep the two cats curled up against you for the warmth. They are irritated you moved and robbed them of their cozy little nest of blankets.

You wave them off and get up, shrugging your clothes on.

You try tributing at Tier 2 for the first time. The power is a lightning jolt, you barely have time to think before a strange tablet appears in your hand. There's no label to indicate what the medication might do.

From this, you learn that Tier 2 means you summon instantly, allowing you use of the power in crisis situations as opposed to having time and concentration.

There are reports of the Canadian Armed Forces arresting several people trying to enter the cordon around Harmont.

Local police and SWAT appear to have foiled a local terrorist plot, as a fully armed and fueled WWII era tank was found warming up in the nearby Burke Park. The investigation into how the tank got there, and who was to operate it is ongoing.

Sightings of the "American Knight" continue around the city, a local drug den apparently having been raided by the mysterious figure. The inhabitants were found by police all in a deep sleep, their weapons meticulously stacked and unloaded to one side.

An unlisted, unidentified aircraft has been reported as crashing into Lake Huron after flying extremely low over several coastal cities. The Department of Homeland Security has started an investigation into where the craft came from, with assistance from the Department of Defense.

All contact has been lost with several ships off the east coast. The Coast Guard is searching for them now.
