As previously mentioned on Twitter I'll be answering questions now, anything that doesn't get into spoilers territory. So feel free to ask anything that you want clarified, or any aspects of worldbuilding or the like.

I'll post a story update in an hour or when people stop asking questions, whichever happens first.

>>2837576
Is Noel allowed to have a waifu? Is she interested in waifus?

Sorry I know it's not a serious question.

On the more serious side: Is there a "Reassert yourself as Monarch" route?

>>2837583
>>2837588
To give a serious answer to a not very serious question, the Organization places no restrictions on personal relationships so long as they don't get in the way of work. Suppression is way easier than trying to balance those needs, but short flings and "lesbians of convenience" aren't unheard of.

>>2837587
Claymore is a dark fantasy setting that's sometimes compared to Berserk, which revolves around medically enhanced female warriors who fight human-eating monsters called yoma, using the oversized swords they (and the manga) are named for.

>>2837595
That's one possibility I've prepared for, though as with most big goals it's far from as simple as that description of it might suggest. Noel's not just going to be able to walk back in, kick the usurper in the dick, and declare herself queen.

>>2837602
Well right there's the whole civil war and fun complications like the organization trying to stop her. Yoma coming out to feast on the chaos.

Maybe that 'royal' Yoma we saw recently decides she deserves the throne or Noel should be a liege lord.

You'll have a chance to discern a little more about that particular yoma, since you're still sitting at the table with her.

>>2837603
you mean Sabela

Well, if nobody has any more questions I'll get back to getting the first story post ready.

Be back in a few.

>>2837623
You are Noel Tiberius di Hazaran, a half-awakened warrior ranked number Seven in the Organization. In this place, you are not in control.

An Abyssal One, the rare and never-discussed result of a former top-ranked warrior fully awakening, has essentially cornered you and obliged you to join her in the ruined castle she currently calls home. She has named herself as 'Trueheart' Sabela, capable of manipulating your words and actions using her yōki. A being of both vast power and great subtlety, a dangerous combination.

Thus far she has been what you would call a gracious host, offering you bread and fruit and wine without any obvious shows of hostility. However you can feel it, with every fiber of your being, that Sabela is less of a simple threat and more of a living cataclysm. The threat there is implicit and exists at the grandest of scales.

“How was it you came to be half-awakened?” she asks you, knowing full well as you do that attempting to lie outright would be futile.

“You know of my fight with Saria,” you summarize. “She was pushing me to the point of exhaustion in an effort to force me to awaken for her, and it was working. So I chose to hold out as long as I could in the hopes that if I allowed myself to awaken at the very end of my endurance I would revert.”

“And it worked. I was fortunate.”

“I believe that is untrue,” Sabela insists sternly. “You have a gift, Noel. You should recognize and embrace it.”

“A gift?”

Your Abyssal host nods. “A gift. The degree of precise yōki manipulation you demonstrated earlier when you struck me made me suspect, and your story of how you half-awakened confirmed it. Though the amount of yōki your body generates is nothing special, your aptitude for using that yōki is praiseworthy... even by my own standards.”

Coming from a true monster like her who can use yōki to influence people's minds, that really does count as praise. But you can't help but wonder why she's telling you this, though it's hard to see it as being for your own good. Perhaps she's simply interested, but it feels far more likely that she has some purpose in mind for you.

You recall Sabela's earlier words, about your supposed similarities... and her assertion that one day you will seek her out on your own.

>Ask her to explain her previous confidence. Does she know something about the Organization that you don't?
>There was a twinkle of recognition when you told her the name of your handler. Does she somehow know Tomas?
>Remind her that this is the first time you've met. She knows nothing about you, and making such presumptions is rude.

“You know something,” you accuse her quietly. “Don't you? Something about the Organization?”

“I know many things about the Organization, dear,” Sabela points out with a smirk. “You'll have to be more specific.”

“What I mean is something that would drive me to abandon the Organization,” you clarify with a frown. “Some dark secret in its past perhaps, or their guilt in a particularly nefarious incident.”

“Again,” Sabela repeats, her own expression darkening. “You'll have to be more specific.”

“That's quite the implicit accusation.”

“It's quite the Organization.”

“Surely you must have something specific in mind,” you press. “Not a simple case of corruption or immorality, I would imagine.”

Sabela's eyes fall on you heavily, with an intense focus... you'd even go so far as to call it an appraising look. “You are correct. However, I do not feel like telling you about it.”

“Why?” you ask. “What do you have to gain from withholding that sort of information from me, if my knowing would advance your own plans?”

“You assume correctly that I do need you to learn of this specific fact as a part of my own designs,” Sabela admits with a sigh. “However, I must also confess that I have no particular desire to push you too fast. If you learned the true nature of the Organization too quickly... it could drive you mad.”

“That bad?”

Sabela gives you a stern look. “It's quite the Organization.”

“Tell me,” you press, changing the topic slightly. “You seem to feel a great amount of antipathy towards the Organization... was it you who murdered Olivia?”

Your harsh tone comes as a surprise even to yourself, and Sabela seems taken aback for a moment before she regains her composure. “I would appreciate if you would not take that tone with me, young lady. But I can see you cared for Olivia, so I will overlook the slight and offer the answer you deserve.”

“No,” she insists sternly. “I may hate the Organization, but I hold nothing but compassion in my heart for its warriors. I swear to you now that I had nothing to do with Olivia's death... though I suspect I know who did. Tell me this, did her killer use her black card to summon a second warrior into an ambush?”

Your eyes narrow slightly. “Yes, why?”

“Let me tell you about the Abyssal Ones, Noel,” she replies, shutting her eyes in contemplation. “There are three of us, from three distinct generations. Of those I am the youngest by a fair margin... though it is my belief that I am the most powerful, by at least a little.”

“And the others have not banded together to kill you?” you ask.

She shakes her head. “That is not how it works, though it would be unfair to say that no cooperation is possible.”

“How do you mean?”

“The other two Abyssal Ones, former first-ranked warriors of the Organization, are named Salem and Constanzia. They trace their origin to the early days of the Organization, where the highest goal was to produce a set of twins capable of close cooperation in battle.”

This... is entirely new information to you. “Twins? To what end?”

“For the purpose of controlling an Awakening,” Sabela explains. “By cultivating and expanding upon a natural tie that exists between siblings, it is possible for one to awaken completely while the other synchronizes their yōki, allowing the awakened warrior to retain her human mind and return to her original form after accomplishing her mission.”

“Controlled awakening?” you muse.

>>2837812
“I... am unsure what that is meant to achieve,” you admit. “Would it be necessary to contain the threat of single-digit awakened beings?”

“Perhaps this was the original logic,” Sabela admits calmly, “though you would have to ask the old men back at Lavinia to know for certain... assuming for a moment that you trusted anything they said.”

“That is beside the point,” she continues. “As you may have surmised both of the other Abyssal Ones awakened at the same time as their twin sisters. The volatility of a twin's reaction to her sister coming to harm could not be erased while maintaining the ability to synchronize at the required level, and so the Organization correctly determined that this was the inescapable fate of any such warriors. After the second such incident the remaining twin warriors were... discarded, to put it euphemistically.”

“They were murdered,” you summarize. “So which of those two you mentioned do you believe did this?”

“Neither,” Sabela tells you, raising a slender finger to continue her lecture. “After awakening Constanzia and her sister Rafaela remained nearly inseparable, and operate together to this day. Individually they would stand little realistic chance against myself or Salem, but together they would be too great of a challenge to be worth fighting.”

“Salem and her sister Ella on the other hand did nothing but argue from the day of their awakening until the day they separated. Over their approach towards the Organization, later over their interactions with Constanzia and Rafaela... but by the time I awakened they had already fallen out over the argument of who was more deserving of the top ranking while they were warriors.”

“So they split over something so trivial?” you snort. “I don't know why, but that sounds completely believable.”

“You have good sense,” Sabela shakes her head. “Sometimes it is the stupid things that drive people apart, and this was one such time. Knowing what she is like, Olivia's death sounds like it was her work.”

Sabela continues to think to herself for a few more seconds before speaking. “You may have guessed that I am interested in learning more about you, Noel. So my questions will be somewhat more personal. By my count I may ask at least two?”

Your eyes narrow a little. “Continue.”

“I understand that you were previously the princess of Hazaran,” she begins, predicating her question. “Tell me, how did someone of your standing end up in the Organization?”

“My father must have known who my mother was when I was left to him,” you reason, “based on my natural hair color and the timing involved, though no one else ever seemed to know. I suppose any one of the rumors could have been true. But my father was always... kind, even when he was not himself. He took the time to teach me the things I would need to know to be a ruler, and he never spoke down to me. I always appreciated that about him.”

“And was he truly mad?” Sabela asks carefully. “I have heard rumors of course, but I suspect you view such things with the same skeptical eye that I do.”

“I rarely saw the evidence, but his mental condition was deteriorating,” you admit. “He had already made plans for how and when to abdicate to me. He must have understood that he had less time than he would have liked.”

“And despite that, they killed him. They tried to kill me. On that they obviously failed.”

“And the Organization had a representative in town, who was very close to the scene of the coup,” Sabela guesses. “Fancy that.”

'Yeah,” you frown. “Fancy that. Are you implying what I think you are?”

“Perhaps,” Sabela nods. “Though jumping to conclusions would obviously be inappropriate.”

“That summarizes my own attitude,” you agree. “That is how I came to be part of the Organization, anything else is a separate story.”

“I understand,” Sabela tells you. Her eyes flick upwards towards your sword, which has been catching the light from the fire for a while now. You've noticed her do it once or twice before, understanding that it's an unusual blade for a Warrior to bear. But she doesn't ask about it.

Does she have something else on her mind?

“You want to ask about my sword,” you begin. “Go ahead.”

“Your sword is extremely unusual,” Sabela replies slowly. “There must be a story there. I would like very much to hear it.”

“There was a girl, my age,” you explain. “Emma. She was my friend... we helped each other through the procedure, and through our training. She died, years ago. I took the cross guard of her sword and traded it for mine, so that a part of her would be with me and a part of me would be left with her.”

“I see,” Sabela nods thoughtfully. “But that only explains part of it.”

“The material was combined with metal from Saria's sword after the guard broke in my fight with her,” you explain. “And the pommel was something Olivia traded for mine, before she passed.”

“I thought I recognized the shape,” Sabela sighs, “by the time I became a warrior the new swords being produced had the finer pointed pommel design rather than the old rounded one, but a few of the older ones were still in use including Olivia's.”

“So you knew Olivia?” you ask.

“I did,” she admits. “Which is part of why I took exception to your tone earlier. She was my friend, until the end.”

“So now you know my story,” you shrug. “My childhood and my life as a warrior... the rest of it hasn't been written yet.”

The shade of red that Noel naturally had is rare in Hazaran, and her father had it. The problem interested parties had at the time was that they couldn't even narrow down the possible women who MAY have been princess Noel's mother that way.

“No matter how hard you might try, you can't just pass it off as a meaningless platitude. It's out of character.”

Sabela shuts her eyes quietly, as if trying to come up with a counterargument. “Perhaps a bit too perceptive for your own good, however. You must get that from your mother.

Then she leans across the table. Your fists clench... but you find yourself unable to move. She's trapped you here! What is she...

… the kiss against your forehead is tender, disarmingly so.

You feel Sabela's forehead against yours. “I've wanted to do that for a very long time, Noel.”

The pain returns shortly after, a dull ache in your head and a certain sensitivity to the light of... day?

Your eyes fly open.

“Ah, so you're awake!” a voice greets you cheerfully.

“Lord Byron?” you ask, trying to will the swimming trio of fuzzy-looking men into focus.

“Yup, you must've been exhausted,” he replies warmly. “How'd it go?”

“It went... fine,” you reply, still not really sure how to reply. “How long did I sleep?”

“It's just shy of noon now,” he informs you, now down to just one fuzzy-looking man. “Nobody saw you come in, you could've slept in a real bed!”

It occurs to you... Sabela was not lying. You met your mother last night, and she was an Abyssal One.

No one can know.

Are you talking Canon Claymore? If so, I do remember an abyssal one in canon claymore offering a human the opportunity to bang her human bits In the middle of town while her monstrous bits massacred the town. Not sure about the same human banging a claymore though.

>3d10 for a convincing lie

>>2838482
“I've never fought a drunken yōma before,” you lie, cracking your neck awkwardly. This will have to be vague enough that nobody can disprove it, detailed enough to satisfy his curiosity... but simple enough for you to remember all the lies yourself. “It was already drunk, and smacked me across the head from an... inventive angle. Sent me headfirst into a big rock.”

“You won though?” the old man asks.

You nod, wincing slightly for show. “Yeah... the wine I assumed was tainted, so I destroyed it. Sorry, safer that way. It's not like you could re-sell it anyway.”

“You're right about that,” Byron sighs dramatically. “I hadn't considered that possibility. But thank you anyway for taking this job. We'll all sleep a lot safer now.”

“Of course,” you reply calmly, standing and dusting yourself off. “Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Would you like something to eat?” he offers. “There's a little wine left as well.”

>I should be moving on, but thank you very much for the offer.
>I don't need to eat, but I would like to spend the morning exercising if you'll have me around.
>Do you have a way of contacting my Organization? I'll wait for my handler here if that's not a problem.
>Other?

>>2838509
Aren’t claymore sterile though? And organization only do conversion on prepubescents

Other:

>>2838527

>>2838531
QoD said that childbirth could cause one to awaken.

>>2838527
>I should be moving on, but thank you very much for the offer.

>>2838509
So then was Dad really a "madman"?
Like, he had to deal with the fact that he now has inner working knowledge of the Organization, and really wanted Noel to have the best childhood before the inevitable.

I mean, King did state in >>2837598 That Claymores can have personal relationships as long as it doesn't really interfere with work. Sabela was able to balance her relationship with Dad for at least 2 years. Long enough for her to be coronated as Queen of Hazaran, get married to dad, and have a daughter.
Shame she wasn't able to have the opportunity to see Noel grow up.

>>2838531
>Claymore
>sterile
Since when did you get the impression that claymores were sterile? I see nothing in canon texts that denied claymores the possibility of having kids. Just look at Riful and Dauf and that adorable ABaby that rose from their corpses.

>>2838527
>Why yes, I would love a sample of your wine.
>Do you have a way of contacting my Organization? I'll wait for my handler here if that's not a problem.

>>2838527
>>I don't need to eat, but I would like to spend the morning exercising if you'll have me around.

>>2838556
Sabela was never crowned queen, the child Noel just showed up one day as far as anyone is concerned.

>>2838556
>Long enough for her to be coronated as Queen of Hazaran, get married to dad
Whoa there. None of that happened, Noel was basically abandoned on the King's doorstep.

>Riful and Dauf and that adorable ABaby that rose from their corpses
So majestic.

>>2838556
No actual canon lore, but I’d imagine from the position of their stigmata and the effect those yoma flesh would have on their internal organ, I would imagine that carrying pregnancy to term would be near impossible, whereas awakened being had fully integrated their Yoma and Human part to the point where their reproductive system is viable again

But again, headcanon, and I’m not the one writing the story

>>2838527
>Why yes, I would love a sample of your wine.
>Do you have a way of contacting my Organization? I'll wait for my handler here if that's not a problem.

>>2838574
>>2838563
>>2838562
Well then, I seem to have gotten my sources mixed up.
But nevertheless, it brings terrible implications to Sabela's time in the org while she was in her 3 trimesters. And if the Org knew about Sabela's pregnancy. It might also why the org treats Noel as a very special case on the margins.

>>2838563
The mad king is our biological dad tho right?

>>2838594
no doubt about it. Noel had flaming red hair before she got claymore'd, Mad dad had flaming red hair.

>>2838594
I mean it looks like that's a no.

>>2838577
Agree with this too, but we needa eat to get swole! If we go back then we won't have time to read or train. I wana practice our kicks!

>>2838597
But mom had slightly red hair too?

>>2838602
See >>2838247 for mom's hair color

>>2838606
Still had red in it.

besides, noels mom awakening would make perfect reason to the king going mad.

>>2838602
who says we need to be swole? We have natural Yoma bits that provide the innate swole. What we need is to be /fit/ through our technique refinement.

>>2838616
but how did Sabela manage to hide her pregger status from the Org as a claymore? Or did she go full woke when the pregnancy test came up positive?

>>2838594
So far as Noel is aware, all signs point to yes and Sabela never hinted at any other possibility.
>writing

>>2838630
I think in the childbirth stage is when Queen said the pain and shock could cause claymores to awake, probably require us to beat a high dc roll....

>>2838634
Mommy was loving and loyal ;.;

>>2838640
but if Mom went woke when she delivered us, does that make Noel a natural human-yoma hybrid?

>>2838527
Your head is too full of swirling questions and lingering doubts to be of much use to anyone right now, and so despite having eaten and drunk last night you quickly accept the generous offer.

Over a meal of warm bread, honey, and a bottle of last night's wine from Stanislaus Byron's own table, you pose a question. “How did you contact our Organization? Can you do it again?”

“I certainly can, and you're welcome to stay here as long as you need to,” Byron replies with a firm nod.

You eat as little as you think you can get away with, compliment the Lord of the manor on his wine, and set off to busy yourself until Tomas arrives. The next few days are spent seeing to Alysheba's needs, helping with heavy loads around the estate, and practicing combat drills taken from the monks' book. You also dive deep into the system of hand signs all through the evenings before taking just as little sleep as you can get away with.

Who knows when the next time you'll have free time like this with no one hanging over your shoulder will be?

Eventually however Tomas does arrive one morning, seemingly from out of nowhere.

“Good morning, Lord Byron,” he greets the man with a slight bow.

“Welcome to my home,” Lord Byron replies gruffly. “Your warrior here did a fantastic job for me.”

“That's good to hear, I hope she wasn't too much of a handful,” Tomas replies.

Byron shakes his head. “Appetite of a bird and the social graces of a princess. A professional to boot.”

“My, I suppose I simply bring out the worst in her then,” Tomas chuckles. “Fancy that.”

Fancy that... you've heard him say that before. Your mother used that same turn of phrase in the same context, of sarcasm. They even have a similar inflection.

It's not proof... but you get the sneaking suspicion.

“I have a new mission for you, Seven,” he continues, oblivious to the deductive process playing out in your head. “Please follow me.”

“Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Byron,” you offer a slight bow. He is after all a horse-lord.

He offers an equally slight bow in response, not knowing your true identity. “And thank you for your company.”

You veer off towards the barn and take Alysheba, his feed bags, blanket, and his pack saddle, and ride out to meet Tomas with his own horse... just as black and as miserable-looking as he is.

“So? What is this mission?” you ask, nudging Alysheba towards the main road.

“An unusual one, to be sure,” Tomas replies with an unnerving smile.

“By the usual standards,” you grumble, “or compared to the last few jobs I've taken?”

“Both,” Tomas admits. “You are of course aware of the rule that no Warrior is to take human life, under penalty of death?”

“Acutely,” you respond. “That would be relevant... how, exactly?”

“On this mission you will operate as part of a small team,” Tomas informs you. “And owing to the nature of the task at hand, the Council has agreed that rule will have to be... temporarily suspended for you and your peers.”

... what did he just say?

>>2838730
boi

>>2838730
Either the organization is secretly shoving some fingers in some pies it shouldn't, getting political, or the mission warrants the lethality employed.

And that's a great place to stop, good timing and I've got some paperwork that needs to be ready for tomorrow morning. Thanks for turning out, hope you enjoyed the ride, and see you all for another update some time tomorrow evening!

Those tiwns sabela talked about?

In the canon manga that was what the Organization was shooting for, controllable bioweapons able to massacre the Asakarum and their kin.

Sadly it ended much like it did here, with one twin losing the leash on the other and awakening themselves when the other was hurt.

The ongoing creation of Youma and awakened being was intended to help form a suitable bioweapon. That's why the organization existed in canon.

Also it has mindcontrol-esque tags written all over it. And as for the dice luck, like I can remember half of QM's dice rolls have nat 1s that cancel out the highest roll on a 3d20 dice pool.
You'd be sickened yet curious if you want to see the state of the quest. I'm not going to divulge any further.

I'll take your reluctance to share as advice to stay away from it.
There are things one would be wise to remain ignorant about.

That was Agatha, when she was fighting Miata and Galatea. She tried to pick up Sid, one of the Rabona's guards, and not Raki who ended up hooking up with the MC at the end.

>>2839032
I know, I don't remember the names since its been years since I've read em, but I recall that same guard bedded, or it seemed to imply he and one of the claymores slept together, I think the same one who got drunk in the tavern scene with Clare explaining they don't get drunk unless they chose to due to control over their livers or kidneys.

Well this big revelation changes things a LOT.

>Daughter of an Abyssal one
That's a secret that'll get you killed immediately.

>>2839176
Is true. Valentina holds Noel in high enough regard that while it might change the nature of their relationship, she'd accept that this is just how things are.

Anyone else would kill her, or report her straight to the Organization for termination. Regardless of how this happened, it'd be viewed as an abomination and a liability.

>>2839186
it also makes Noel's relationship with Tomas even more Tenuous. Especially now that Noel has a suspicion and that Tomas was Sabela's handler prior her going Rogue Abyssal and giving birth to Noel. He might even be privy to Sabela's pregnancy before she went woke.

>>2839206

she hasn't just awakened, she's WOKE

>>2838730
Those words... you must have misunderstood them.

“Apologies, Tomas,” you begin. “I need you to repeat that.”

“We will be temporarily suspending the rule that you are to avoid killing humans,” Tomas repeats, this time more directly. “For you and for whichever Warriors the Council sees fit to send.”

“That's a foundational rule of the Organization,” you muse, still stunned enough that you're almost ready to doubt your ears a second time. “And you plan to simply... 'suspend' it? For what reason?”

“Because an awakened being has appeared who can control the actions of otherwise normal humans,” Tomas explains carefully. “We believe based on the reports of one of our spies that she is spreading some sort of pheremones or spores via sexual contact. She entered the target town disguised as a whore and has operated there for several weeks.”

“All contact with the villagers ceased three days ago.”

“And so to ensure that the contagion no longer spreads you intend to perform a clean sweep of the site,” you guess. “Raze it to the ground and eliminate the victims as well as the perpetrator.”

“It's the only way to be sure,” Tomas declares.

If given the freedom, mom would probably coddle Noel and take her out on activities to make up for all 17 years of lost mom and daughter bonding moments.

>awakened being that can control actions of other
>enough of a threat where the organization is willing to bend the rules
>sending in Noel as part of the team to deal with her

Are we gonna have to make the decision to decapitate the organization’s single digits or killing mom this soon?

>>2840693
>Other?
Can we get some human mercenaries to accompany us? They can do the, ahem, cleansing and leave the awakened being to us. The Claymores keep their moral scruples, and the mercenaries get some thrill kills.

“Are you certain that is necessary?” you ask carefully. “Far be it from me to question the wisdom of the Council, but assaulting civilians who have been victimized by a yōma would seem counterproductive.”

“This is the result of the situation we are in,” Tomas replies with a sigh. “I cannot overstate the potential risk involved here. Even were you to kill the target there is no way to guarantee that the situation will be secure afterwards.”

“And I take it that using human mercenaries is out of the question,” you realize without even bothering to suggest it. “With such a focus on containment, adding more humans to the situation would be a mistake.”

“You take it correctly,” Tomas agrees sternly. “Once an individual is infected the agent seems to transfer by contact with infected bodily fluids, including blood. We have considered this very carefully, and the Council considers a complete purge to be the only viable strategy.”

You hate to admit it, but it does seem that the Council is correct in their assessments if their goal is to prevent this target's influence from spreading any further.

“And what makes you so certain that whatever warriors you send will not simply spread this contaminant?” you press, changing your focus somewhat to accept that the Council's orders are the ones that make the most sense. “Or do you intend to purge our team once we are done?”

“No need for such dramatics,” Tomas insists. “Our current Number Eight, Sofia, and her handler did what you could call some investigatory work.”

“And?”

“They were both exposed to contaminated blood,” Tomas recounts. “Sofia used concentrated yōki to purge the agent from her body. She could not do the same for her handler, who had to be destroyed. Fire is similarly effective in destroying the contaminant.”

“And this yōki method works?” you press.

Tomas nods calmly. “A third... subject... was exposed to samples of Sofia's blood. He showed no symptoms.”

>So what you want me to do is go in with a team, kill everyone, and burn the corpses. Is that correct?
>What sort of team will I have to work with? I can't imagine you'd have many Warriors who would agree.
>I don't think I can agree to take on this mission. Killing the Awakened Being is one thing. Killing humans is another.
>Other?

>I'll agree on the part of killing the Awakened Being, but I can't stomach the part of killing humans.
To writ, Noel has never had to perform a mercy kill on anyone in her career ever since the start of the quest. Saria's execution was done by Olivia.
>What sort of team will I have to work with? I can't imagine you'd have many Warriors who would agree.
>other: If only Olivia were here...
Olivia would've been PERFECT for this type of mission since she can simply 'cure' the victims by invoking ranged Yoki to purge the MUSK from the victims. It's a shame that she was killed by an abyssal one.

Also were the claymore deaths determined by behind the scenes dice?

>Doesn't it seem odd that moments after we lose Olivia who would likely be able to counter this easily, something like this occurs? Too much of a coincidence for my liking.

>>2843384
I'll support pointing out the coincidence of Olivia's death and the sudden appearance of an AB that Olivia would be a perfect counter to.

>>2843424
I'll support this too

>>2843384
>What sort of team will I have to work with?

>>2843384

Second.

>I don't think I can agree to take on this mission. Killing the Awakened Being is one thing. Killing humans is another.

>What sort of team will I have to work with? I can't imagine you'd have many Warriors who would agree.

Thus is sure to go smoothly and without complications.

I'm sure absolutely nothing can go wrong /s
