Votes:

Votes are counted until 25 minutes have passed. This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.
Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!

When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.

Rolling over a 95 is a critical and ignores all other rolls! In the same vein, rolling 5 or under means a critical failure (only for hard rolls and above).

The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!

Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.

Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

“Yu, are you sure this is all you want? Doesn’t feel like you’re getting any closure out of this.” You ask before she steps outside.
“I… I don’t know…” Yu Yan keeps her hand still on the doorknob.
“I hope you don’t mind my input, but I wouldn’t let such a chance slip.” Dr. Calamity interjects. “Don’t misunderstand me. Achieving peace of mind could be more important than getting the answers you seek.”

Yu Yan turns to the doc and looks slightly surprised. Then she turns to Oliver and stares at him as if seeing him for the first time. “W-Was I really as bad as everyone says?” Now she’s looking away from Oliver, at anywhere but him.
“I can tell you the exact kind of person you were.”
“Just answer my question, spiky hair.”

The former terrorist takes a deep breath, then begins.

“You were worse. You were a monster. A cruel, manipulative, unpredictable, cunning, sadistic, twisted bitch of a monster. The things you’ve done, the people you’ve hurt… and you relished every single waking moment of it. The things I saw you do pale in comparison to the things I heard people whisper you did – and even those are nothing compared to everything you yourself claimed you did, wearing them proudly like bloodstained badges of honor torn straight out of your victims. You were fearsome, relentless, and beyond any sort of sanity. Everywhere you went smelled of blood and other things that came with doing what you enjoyed.”

Oliver’s serious look and matter-of-fact tone makes things much worse. He isn’t even fazed by the horror he’s remembering as he tells this. He got used to it.

You don’t agree completely though. He’s probably playing it up. Rise wasn’t that great when you encountered her…

“If I was that bad, why would you…” Yu Yan is starting to get confused. Her hand shakes slightly.
“Why would I what? Be happy to see you? Because you were a monster I was glad to call my friend. Undying loyalty is the most important quality. Even now, I still stand by those words you said to us. You were twisted, but I understood you – I felt for you. And in the rare moments when you weren’t an unstoppable psycho making us fear for our lives, it was fun to hang around with you.”
“Didn’t I betray you all? That stupid terrorist organization?” Yu Yan’s skepticism is rising, voice becoming frantic…

“That’s the wrong question. The right question is who betrayed who first?” He raises an eyebrow, impassive.

“…It still doesn’t make any sense! Why would you willingly be with someone like that?! Are you fucking stupid?!”
“I’m a goddamn imbecile, that’s what. Like you always said to me.” He smirks. There’s something sad in his smile though.

“You’re lying… You’re hiding something! Some important shit, aren’t you?!”
“Hiding, I concede. But lying…? That’s another matter.”

“Tch… You’re obnoxious.” The amnesiac girl grits her teeth, scowling. The shaky hand clenches in a tight fist. “You didn’t know me at all, did you? Just by looking at you, I can tell you were nothing special. I probably used you as cannon fodder. Now you’re trying to act all high and mighty, pretending to be hot shit just because this is the first time in your life you felt superior to me.” Yu Yan’s irritation suddenly snuffs out, and she shrugs. “I’m out now. Peace.” WIthout missing a second, she turns and heads out the door.

Oliver looks genuinely hurt, something he never showed despite his injuries. Then again, he kind of deserved it after that…

After silently waving goodbye to Dr. Calamity, you follow Yu Yan into the hallway. She seems pretty content with herself after the exchange.

“He’s a dumbass.” Yu Yan smirks. “I can tell he’s just dejected right now, so he was looking to hurt me. Maybe later he’ll stop being such a dumbass. I don’t know.”
“Are content with what you heard?”
“…Nah, fuck it. I can’t change it, and I don’t care about it anymore. I took the chance here because the opportunity fell on my lap, that’s all. Not like I really wanted to know all about this crap. Besides, he doesn’t know jack shit. Maybe if I find someone who knew me better…?” Yu goes silent for a few moments. “…Naaaaaah. Don’t think so.”

“I’m happy it gave you some kind of closure at least. You can’t deny you needed that much.”
“Yeah, but guess what else I still need you for? Sleepy time! Though I don’t think it’ll be the last time we hear from that goon…”

What do you do now?

>You should talk with Oliver yourself now. There are a lot of things left unanswered, like his vague connection to WILDFLAME.
>There is this impromptu prison you want to visit, housing a certain scumbag kid who caused a lot of damage to a lot of people…
>Ask Yu Yan if there something she wants to do now. She needs to relax after that heavy stuff, and after yesterday so do you!
>Yu Yan might need some time alone to gather her thoughts. Maybe you could go find someone else, like Henry or Matilda?
>Write In.

“So is there anything you want to do now?” You ask your usually smug hobo.
“Eeeh…” Yu blinks. “That, uh… that was what I wanted to do. I got nothing now.”
“I meant to relax.”
“Ohohoho! Want to have some fun together? Just the two of us? That’s a first!” The re-smug hobo elbows you in the side.

You two start aimlessly walking down the bright corridor, passing the occasional employee or patient still awake.

“Yes.” You haven’t spent any alone time with Yu Yan in general, other than helping her sleep through her nightmares.
“H-How blunt! I like that. You seem a little more assertive now for some reason. Hmmm…” She squints at you, pretending to put you under pressure.

No, there’s no reason at all. Really.

“…Got any ideas?”
“Go fish? We can’t leave the Clinic with those crazy gun nuts crawling through the streets, not when it’s dark. There isn’t much we can do in here.” Yu Yan shrugs. “Well, other than enjoying each other’s company, like we always do.” She raises her eyebrows, trying to be cheeky.

“Wait, you’re serious about the fishing thing?” You never took Yu Yan for the patient type! Imagining her with a fishing rod, spending hours sitting still on a dinghy… it might be nice one of these days.

“I thought about it the other day and it looks pretty relaxing. More like I had it tied to the word ‘relaxing’ in my mind. Could be fun, who knows?” Yu Yan is not really sold on her own idea to begin with! “A-Anyway, let’s stop talking about fishing! We gotta think about what we can do in the now and not the then, you feel me?”

“That doesn’t change anything, Yu. We don’t have all night.” Oh yeah, it’s dark outside. Checking your phone, you see it’s near 9:00 PM already! Time sure flies!

“Or maybe we do?” Her smugness radiates strongly. “…Okay fine, I’ll stop with those jokes. I’m just tired of sitting on my ass watching TV all day! What am I, Nariko?! Anything you can come up with that isn’t related to that, the better!” Yu Yan throws the ball back to you.
“There must be something you really want to do. C’mon, Yu.”
“We have very limited options already. Like I said, it’s not like we can run to a disco or something without getting shot on the way.” The smug gives way to a conflicted air. “W-We could see how the others are doing? You’re the one who fought the giant spooky monster, dude – you come up with something! I’ll make it fun for you, promise!” Yu Yan puts her hand on her chest and puffs up.

Guess she’s actually serious about making you choose. No way out of it now…

>>3450457

What are you going to do with your smug hobo at this hour?!

>For some odd reason, you miss cooking. Check the Cafeteria and see if they let you cook something. Maybe make Yu Yan’s favorite!
>Maybe you should check on the others like Yu Yan proposed. You haven’t seen Matilda yet this whole time, what’s going on with her lately?
>Yu Yan offered to rub your back if you took a shower. After fighting so much, you need one. Might as well take her word on that and see…

“Before we get to my idea, tell me. Do I still smell bad?” You ask Yu Yan out of the blue.
“You still smell like dog piss, my charming soldier.” Yu shrugs.
“Then I have an idea. Do you mind if I take a shower, and you know… take you up on your offer from before?”
Yu Yan takes a second to process what you just said, then smiles. “Oh, do you want me to rub your back? Mmmm?”

“Yeah!” You have no shame in this because Yu Yan has real skill!
“R-Really?!” Yu Yan’s cheeks begin to redden. “I-I know just the place for this! But first gimme 5 minutes. I need to deal with someone first. You, uh… go get clean clothes or something. Wait for me in the bunker, I’ll be right there.” The way your smug hobo skips happily away from you is something you never thought you’d see someone do in real life…

What have you gotten yourself into? You’ll probably have a nice time though, whatever happens! Rushing calmly down to the men’s room where you slept the other day, you get yourself a new set of generic clinic clothes. If you were home you’d have better things to wear than this, but you can’t exactly leave the clinic only to get shot, can you? Now you’re lounging around waiting for Yu Yan to show up. Pretty soon, Yu Yan arrives… with Matilda!

“Hey! Matilda wanted to say hi.” Yu says on behalf of the independent contractor.
“Hi.” Matilda quips in her usual monotone, raising a hand up. Well that was… about what you expected from Matilda, really! “I see you are doing well. I’m glad.” Her face isn’t quite as expressionless this time. ‘Satisfied’ is the best way you can describe it. “Now if you will excuse me, I’m done here.”
Wait, that’s it?! “Uhm… Leaving already?” The freelancer stops at the door, hearing how confused you are.

“I came here on my own volition just to check on you. I’m not being paid to stand here for no reason.” Matilda taps her foot on the floor. “Don’t forget we’re starting training soon. I seriously hope you didn’t think you could escape that. See you then.” Matilda walks away as casually as she came here.

Knowing Matilda is glad you’re okay is a nice feeling and all, but what was that all about?!

“Paid her to stop watching the cameras.” Yu confesses.
“…Why?”
“I don’t want her to get the wrong idea. She already knows too much.”

Finally Yu Yan shows you the way to another of the many forgettable rooms in the bunker. And to your surprise, this room is equipped with a special bathroom – including a shower! On the way in, you notice the lack of any cameras in here. Yu Yan explained everyone had to take turns to wash up earlier today… except Neko.

“You’re going to stay here?”
“Well, duh.” Yu Yan shrugs. “There is a reason you have a curtain there, don’t you? Now don’t take too long, got it?”

You look at her. She looks at you. The both of you look down at your clothes, then back at each other. She rolls her eyes.

“Fiiiiiiiine. If it’ll get you in there to clean your smelly ass, I’ll give you your privacy.” She spins on her heel and puts her back towards the shower curtain.

“Alright.” Just in case, you step inside the shower and pull the curtain shut. Without thinking much, you take your clothes off and throw them over to the other side.

“BWAAAHHH!” You hear Yu Yan’s cry of surprise after a soft thump. “Really? Did you have to chuck your dirty underwear at me?! You couldn’t try to miss?”

“You’re the one telling me to hurry up!” You shoot back. Shit, it’s cold in here! Isn’t the bunker supposed to have its own heating or something?! Quick, turn on the shower! You need to clean yourself good or Yu Yan is going to keep complaining!

“Holy shit, you’re actually doing it…” You hear your second hobo mumble to herself as the showerhead rains the hot water on you. Just the way you like it.

“…W-Wanna chat in the meantime?”
“Sure. Whatever you want.”

A couple of minutes pass you by before either of you say anything.

“…I thought you were going to kick me outside.”
“You said it, there is a reason I have a curtain here.” You grab the shampoo and start scrubbing down your hair. It’s been a while since you did this, what with being confined to a hospital bed then fighting for your life.

“It doesn’t really spoil the fun though.” Yu Yan starts giggling out of nowhere.

Once her giggling fit dies down, another awkward silence passes. You’re not sure how long the quiet stays…

“That’s a lot of steam coming out.” Over the sound of the sloshing rain, you can barely hear her breathing. Is she getting hot over there? The bunker must have been colder than you noticed. Sure enough, that is a lot of steam filling the bathroom up to the ceiling…

>>3450784

“I need to make this nice for myself…”
“Y-Yeah. Like you should!”

Wait, her voice sounds closer… Is she looking the other way? Is there so much steam that she can see you from out there?

Wiping the moisture from your upper face with one hand, you lean in to peer at the curtain. If you squint hard enough, you can make out the dark shadow of her outline on the other side. The dark blob that is her head moves for a split second before going still. Is she trying to look at something?

“Is everything alright out there?”
“Yep!” Yu Yan practically squeaks. That was definitely closer than before. “Doin’ lovely out here, don’t mind me! How’s the weather in there?”

“Uh…” You stop rinsing out your hair, letting the spray hit you normally.
“Water! I-I meant water! Is it nice and warm yet?”
“Yeah. It is.”

The curtains shuffle in place as something moves closer towards you…

Hold on a second! It makes sense now: Yu Yan isn’t watching you shower, she’s looking the other way! At least, you think so? This is kind of awkward…

When are you’re supposed to be rubbed on the back anyway? Is that why she’s moving closer? Why didn’t you think this through?!

Does Yu Yan know what’s supposed to happen, or when?

…What do you do?!

You turn around to where you think she is, somewhere in the murky space past the curtain. She’s getting closer, right? It’s already hard to see without glasses, and this heavy steam doesn’t make things any better!

“Hey, turn around.” You ask your loyal hobo, just to make sure she’s looking at you.
“W-what is it?” The black blob spins in one direction and stops. Okay, she’s definitely looking at you now.

“…You know there’s room for two people in here, right?” You furiously move your eyebrows to no avail since you are obscured by the curtain.
“S-So? Showers have space for people to move around, duh!”
“You promised to rub my back, remember?”

“L-Like right now?!” Yu Yan shrieks, echoing off the tiles louder than it would be.
“Yeah, right now. Just be a little careful walking in, okay? My eyesight is pretty bad without my glasses, and I don’t want to bump into you by accident. Make some noise before diving in.”
“How b-bad is it? Just w-wondering, that’s all…”

“Are you backing down?”
“No, I’m not! Sheesh, fuck! Whatever! I’ll go in…” In the middle of her muted grumbling, you hear clothes moving and hitting the floor… Then you hear another heavier rustle from over where the spare towels were. After that, Yu Yan grabs the curtain and shakes it to make the hooks rattle. Over the shower’s constant stream, you hear two splashes from behind you, followed by more of them nearing closer…

Yu Yan is right behind you.

“He-he-here I am… W-Watching your back… I m-mean, washing your back! Yeah, that’s it…”
“Oh w-wow…” For some reason you can’t move your body to turn around. You want to say something akin to I can’t actually believe you’re doing this, holy fuck but for the same unknown reason, words refuse to leave your mouth. All you can do is breathe in and out…

Suddenly her cold hands lay flat against your back, palms inward, and she begins to move them up and down, back and forth. You can feel them trembling the whole time, causing you to tense up without thinking. This feels awkward and embarrassing, but that doesn’t stop her from massaging you.

Is this really what you wanted?
Is this what was supposed to happen?
At least she’s good with her hands…

“Is this good…?” Yu Yan asks, her words coming out with her gasps. If you concentrate, you can feel her breath just barely on your neck… Who knows how close she is to you?

…?

>“Yes, that’s the spot. Please keep going.” You want a massage and nothing else.

“What, that’s it? Come on, you can do better than that Yu.”
“Sheeesh, how f-fussy.” She’s pressing harder now, rubbing your bones and muscles more.

That’s better, but that wasn’t what you were referring to, was it?

“We cuddle together in bed, and you think this is enough? You don’t need to hold back on me.”
“I-I admit it! I’m n-n-nervous! This is way too much!” Yu Yan’s hands are moving too fast for a proper massage now.
“I’m n-nervous too.” You’re both naked in a shower! Why wouldn’t you be?! Great, now you’re starting to stutter too…

“I can feel that, b-but…”
“Isn’t this w-what you wanted? To give me a nice relaxing massage in this nice relaxing shower… and have a nice relaxing time?!”

“Y-Yeah.” Her hands stop moving for a second, then they move away from your body. “Yeah! YEAH I DO!!!” Suddenly, Yu Yan presses her body flat against your back, her hands moving around your torso to your front! There’s no towel in the way to impede the contact, and you can feel her che— “Gah! W-What’s wrong with me?! I-I can’t do this shit!” The soft thin arms recoil from you as fast as they held you. Through the blur of the moment, you can hear her rush a few steps back and away…

The heat must be getting to you, because you say something without thinking.

“If you wash my back, I’ll wash yours.” You turn your head to finally see her as the cute blurry mess your eyes interpret.
“M-My back…?” It takes her a few seconds to realize you’re looking right at her. “Fuuuuuuuuck! I just can’t!”

“D-did I do s-something wrong?” Now you’re in panic mode. The hot water starts to chill you now… or maybe that’s you panicking.
“Y-Yes, you did! I can’t take this anymore!” Even though she’s a blur to you, you can see Yu Yan twitching in place. The wall isn’t even an arm’s length away behind her. “I don’t even know what I’m saying! I’m ju-s-s-s-s-s-s-s—s-st…! Fuck! Just…!”

She keeps stuttering without getting a single word out. Maybe you should say something before this is completely ruined…

“Just… Stop playing for fuck’s sake!” Walking up to you, your no-longer-smug hobo gazes into your eyes. Yu Yan is gnawing on her lower lip, just standing there staring at you…

Wait, does that mean she…?!

…?!

“...Is this too much for you?” Even in a situation like this, you’re can’t help but feel worried. This isn't normal for her… You try to reach for her hand, despite being barely able to see anything anymore with the steam rising and without your glasses on. Yu grabs it back, holding it tight in hers.

“O-of course this is too much…” She murmurs, her breathing less hectic and more controlled now. “Are you this dense or did you forget what I told you the other day?”

It takes a second but you remember. Everything hits you all at once. “Chicks wanna be confessed to…” Oh. Oh fuck.

“If you remember, then why the fuck do you keep fucking t-teasing me…? There’s only so much I can take, you know?” Yu Yan sounds rather sad. The way the water flows down her face only drives it in further for you. “Do I have to spell it out for ya? I’m naked in fr-front of you for crying out loud. I know it’s s-s-something fucking stupid to hang on about, b-but for fuck’s sake, it’s something I want. And no-nothing’s going to change that.”

“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t know how badly you wanted that. And with so much teasing going on between both of us, I thought we were having fun.” It’s true, you were having fun with it. You always have fun with it, doing this with her all the time.

Only now are you realizing that it’s not all fun and games anymore.

“Y-You’re right, a-and it is fun, but my silly little heart c-couldn’t take it anymore for some reason. M-Maybe I’m too tired, a lot of shit is h-happening – l-like a few hours ago I thought you were dead, and now we’re like… like this. I guess it doesn’t help I did everything I could and I still felt I was coming up short… I panicked and…” Yu trails off.

There, in the hot water drenching everything, you two stand holding hands. The water running down your eyes might not all be from the shower anymore. Maybe it’s the same for her.

You're not sure how much time passed with the two of you like that. You’re not sure you care how long it might be.

“…Fuck,” Yu Yan hesitantly breaks the silence. “Let’s ditch this shitty shower before we catch a fucking cold. They’ll never let us live this down if they figure it out.”

Yu Yan leaves the shower first and throws a huge towel for you to wear, as you turn the water off. After all the nonstop noise, the sudden silence in the bathroom is almost deafening. When you take your glasses from Yu Yan and put them on, you see she’s wearing a towel around her torso. Everything about her, from her shining wet hair down to her flawless white thighs, is absolutely stunning.

Sighing out, you shake your head. “I can’t fucking believe I ruined this… Goddamnit.” There’s no other way to think about this! Is there?
“There is always another race, my trusty steed!” Yu Yan replies with her usual playful air. The words and the act don’t stop her smile from being any less depressed. “…But I guess I’m the one who couldn’t keep going in the end.”

“But why would you even panic? You’re so confident all the time. That’s what I like about you.”
She twirls a wet strand of hair around her finger, avoiding your gaze. Now you notice how red her face is… It’s so fucking cute.
“Well, yeah, but… It’s not like I knew if you’re really into me. You never call me cute and shit like that…” Turning her face to you, Yu Yan is clearly looking at that place behind your towel. “I know how the guy down there feels, but not how the you you feels. You feel me?”

“Crap… Yu, you’re the fucking cutest. Never forget that.”
“Damn right I’m the cutest! I had to work to get this far!” She pumps her chest and beams at you. There's your smug hobo again. You missed this so much… “You’re one hell of a stud too!”
“Hahaha. Thanks. I had to work for it too, you know?” Both of you share a relieved laugh together. “But now…”

“But now what? Are you going to give up on me after this? After all that shit I just told you? You need to try later, because Johnny… I really really really want you to fuck me.” Out of nowhere, Yu Yan drops her towel to the floor. There’s nothing stopping you from taking all of her in with your eyes. Once she realizes what happened she nonchalantly bends down and puts it back on, hands shaking. “T-That’s a teaser! I totally meant to do that, I swear!”

The heat of the shower must've really gotten to you, because now your everywhere feels hot. Fuck Yu Yan? How do you feel about that? She's absolutely adorable, probably the only person who never gave up on you, you saw all of her in the open just now, and…

Your head starts to spin… The air in the bathroom suddenly feels thinner than before…

As Yu Yan walks away to get dressed underneath her towel, you fish your phone out of your pants pocket and check it. It’s almost 9:40 PM. It hasn’t even been an hour since you decided to come down here with her. There’s still some time left…

What do you do?

agreed, if this doesn't end with some under-the-covers, hot, passionate __SEX__ then we've really screwed up
>>3455473
Most of the chicks who love Johnny do so for selfish reasons
Scarlet's got a crush
Nariko's heavily dependent on us
Uccelli feeling conflicted ended the relationship rather than reevaluating it, not really taking our feelings into consideration
I don't think Matilda has a thing for us mostly because we didn't try *wink* *wink*
And the thing with Yukika was a moment of desperation
Yu Yan's been the only one who's been selfless in her relationship with Johnny, she likes him pretty much from the get-go, even when she was evil, she was the only one to stick up for us at our dumbest, she's never been anything other than honest and even now instead of letting our dick think, she's been considerate of both her and Johnny's feelings. If she just jumped our bones, we'd be on our merry way and probably seduce Nariko next, but this just proves she's gf material and also best girl.
Not shitting on the other waifus, but the way I see it, she's the GENUINE option.

>>3455445

>>3455473
Yes let us do the confessing!
>>3455499
With this info she best hril.

>>3455499
I mean, Yu Yan still likes us for selfish reasons. She, like Nariko, relies on Johnny, but she's definitely the more independent of the two. Her talk about being a leech that wants to be relied on by Johnny is emblematic of this - she knows that the dynamic is a bit one sided, and she, selfishly, wants to become a more important pillar in Johnny's life.

More than just a hobo he brought in.

More than just one of the crew.

That's why she has so much pride in having cuddled with us - to her knowledge, this isn't something he goes off and does with anyone willy nilly. Yukika was a wonderful situation, don't get me wrong, but like you said it was kinda a moment of desperation. That doesn't make it wrong or bad, just... a facet of human interaction Johnny hasn't had with anyone else.

In a lot of ways, Yu Yan is desperate to not lose Johnny, too. Hell she went through this entire song and dance for him, despite her misgivings and nervousness and JOY at the chance. But, she's desperate to not fuck it up. She doesn't want to ruin her chance by not knowing what to do and diving in too fast.

And remember, Johnny doing this came out of NOWHERE for her. Ran off to do the big dumb fight, and almost right away Johnny is all "Ayy lmao sexytimes!"? Something's up, just like how Johnny realized something was up with her in this scene.

That aspect alone, the ability to recognize this erraticness in each other, that's what makes their relationship special. Not that she'd DTF or Johnny is MAX PROTECC, but because Yu Yan really really REALLY wants to understand what's happening in his head.

Idk. There's a lot.

>>3455539
Problem is what's happening in Johnny's head is about 15 horny 4chaners who have wifued her.

>>3455539
>but because Yu Yan really really REALLY wants to understand what's happening in his head
That still shows more selflessness than most of the girls in the Johnnybowl
>More than just a hobo he brought in.
>More than just one of the crew.
I wouldn't call it selfish wanting to stand on equal ground with someone, easing their worries and burden and her doing the entire song and dance, does show that she cares for us, if she was just a dumb girl in love, she'd just realize her fantasy right now thinking it'd either be the best she got or it'd create further developments. Her acting that way probably means she knows Johnny's acting out, and though she might be trying to spare herself from heartbreak, she's also doing it for Johnny too. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much.
On a side note, the fact that anons are horny haremfaggots led to such great characterization is one of the best things about this quest, it activates both my brain brain and my dick brain
>>3455549
Bro if it were just my dick we'd be domming Matilda's fit lil' ass right in her grandpappy's dojo

>>3455551
But you see,

Yu Yan being selfish isn't a bad thing. In fact, wanting to be on equal ground in stead of "selflessly" supporting from a far is a real assertion of what she wants for herself, y'know? It matches up with her desires, as a good selfish action ought to, and because of that she's able to care openly and honestly.

Because she wants to, not because it's what she thinks Johnny wants. But yeah.

The character development lately has been kino.

>>3455549
And that's why sometimes someone has to come in and try to read into what the other character's want in any situation, instead of going full waifumind. Trust me, Yu Yan dickings would be wonderful, but..

Now isn't the time. Not without repercussions that could sour everything.

>>3455551
Fuuuck if we commit to yu yan its gonna be so hard for me not vote to make that training with matilda "training" shes my second fav.

>>3455499
>Most of the chicks who love Johnny do so for selfish reasons
I mean is there anything wrong with liking someone for selfish reasons? The heart wants what the heart wants man

Yu yan relies on us just like Nariko, she just tries to give back just as much so that she doesn't feel like a burden

>Uccelli feeling conflicted ended the relationship rather than reevaluating it, not really taking our feelings into consideration
I mean is that really bad? We wouldn't want her to trap herself in a relationship that she's conflicted about, nobody would be happy about that. That aside she does genuinely care about us, one time she even told us that if we ever felt like dating her was a mistake that we should break up with her, that seems pretty selfless to me

>And the thing with Yukika was a moment of desperation
I mean sure it started like that but I think it's evolved past that by this point

>she was the only one to stick up for us at our dumbest
Yeah, that's what made me fell in love with her. She was great in that arc

>>3455539
>That doesn't make it wrong or bad, just... a facet of human interaction Johnny hasn't had with anyone else.
I don't know dude the Yukika cuddle session was pretty intense

>>3455551
>On a side note, the fact that anons are horny haremfaggots led to such great characterization is one of the best things about this quest, it activates both my brain brain and my dick brain
Agreed, this and the Yukika scene were both pretty great. We should do this more often

>>3455557
>And that's why sometimes someone has to come in and try to read into what the other character's want in any situation, instead of going full waifumind. Trust me, Yu Yan dickings would be wonderful, but..
>Now isn't the time. Not without repercussions that could sour everything.
That's what we did though, instead of choosing the option of thinking with our dick and kissing Yu yan we all chose the option to talk it out with her

>>3455568
That shall be on the to-do-list when we get her to open up more.
>>3455572
>Hard mode: Harem Knight
Challenge accepted, we shall do our best to please everyone and lift the world! Our girls will be happy or we die trying. Preferably surviving but I am pretty sure its Monday or Tuesday now, and we don't know what the military is up to..

>>3455581
pls no. Johnny needs to develop past the shallow "please everyone" type of interaction. Yes, he should care for his friends and be there for them, but just as he needs to grow so too does he need to help his friends grow.

And creating a dick orbiting buffet is the worst possible thing that could happen in attempting to get everyone to become the best versions of themselves.

>>3455587
I just want yu yan and matilida everyone else can do there own thing.

>>3455568
I love Yu as much as the next guy but to be honest I still don't want to fully commit to anyone yet. I like the idea of Johnny waiting to get his whole life in order before starting a relationship. It was smart and more mature than I expected from a quest protagonist

>>3455557
Well, the upcoming thinking and wine-dining will give us more of an exposition into their relationship, so if we end up on locking her down, it wouldn't really be that rash of a decision, and if we were to confess, I don't think there'd be many repercussions, other than ending our sexy spree, it would cause some problems with Uccelli and maybe Nariko would snap again, but then again, we don't have to tell them now
I too advise caution, but I don't think a relationship is out of the question
>>3455572
>I mean is that really bad? We wouldn't want her to trap herself in a relationship that she's conflicted about, nobody would be happy about that
Well considering we had just saved her from a huge monster, it was kind of unexpected getting dumped like that
>one time she even told us that if we ever felt like dating her was a mistake that we should break up with her
Wasn't that her insecurities talking though?
>but I think it's evolved past that by this point
It definitely was a strong showing of emotion, but it wasn't personal, it was just two people looking for love at their lowest, they didn't think much of each other prior to that
>>3455593
Problem is, his life might be ending soon, it's the reason why he's acting out, he'll probably be making a decision soon as it seems

>>3455587
>Shallow
>Desperate to see everyone he cares about being happy
One of these things is not congruent with the other. Harem is just a byproduct, if we did what the one guy said and kissed her,you might have a point. But we didn't, and short of hitting everyone, besides Nariko, with a stick, they would probably try it on their own.

>>3455587
I also kind if disagree with the make everybody happy thing because I think there should be 1 winner and no harem end but I don't think there's nothing wrong with dating around with the girls to see which he ultimately likes the best. People do it all the time in real life

>>3455596
>they would probably try it on their own
Of course they would, Johnny is everybody's handsome knight in shining armor, but fucking around and raising flags everywhere will be causing more pain than happiness, only reason we can afford doing this now is because of our potentially imminent death that'll be overshadowing any heartbreak
If we did this in other circumstances we'd be very naive at best

I just want to spank OG Hobo some more.

>>3455596
The fact that both incongruous behaviors and desires are happening at the same time is what makes Johnny so interesting to watch. He cares, but he doesn't understand that others care for him (though he is learning), so the desperate attempts to make those around him happy tend to be shallow.

But then they tap into deeper feelings, and as care is reciprocated his attempts to make those people happy become more and more complicated. There's more to interpersonal relations than beating up baddies, saying cool things, striking an imposing figure at the right time, and being there when people are In Distress.

>>3455598
Oh no, you're absolutely right. And of course, making everyone happy isn't necessarily dicking everyone down and creating a big Happily Ever After pile. It's the desire to Protecc, after all.

Stumbling around with attempted dating is to push past that shallow level of "I made you happy because I am a protector and kept you safe/helped you confront an Obvious Problem/etc"

Yukika is a wonderful example. Before this, the only real interaction we had was saving her from a mindaltering white flame that was trying to, essentially, enslave her to its whims. That's the "save from the Big Problem" kinda shallowish attempt at gifting people happiness. Shallow =/= bad, remember, just that it's a focus more on surface level stuff.

Falling into her, making out with her, and discovering that there's a very real attraction (despite being Scarlet's friend and it all happening after a really desperate situation) is, well, pushing past the more surface level stuff. Sure, making out with the guy who saved her is a tad tropey, but the fact she sat down and actually conveyed how he made her feel?

That was some real, REAL intense stuff. That interaction wasn't shallow at all, and that's why it was wonderful.

Reaching out to all these girls around him to see who he can find the best connection with, past the tight abs or big titties or plump ass, is VERY VERY good.

And I'm proud of you all for wanting to explore this. You've come a long way from the Nina days.

>>3455611
>implying Yu wouldn't be down for that shit regardless of our relationship
Bullying Nariko is her second favorite thing to do after Johnny :^)

>>3455595
>Well considering we had just saved her from a huge monster, it was kind of unexpected getting dumped like that
Unexpected, sure but it was untimely for the best on both ends

>Wasn't that her insecurities talking though?
Yeah but the point still stands that she didn't want us to feel trapped in a relationship and regret, even if it hurts her. That's plenty selfless I'd say

>It definitely was a strong showing of emotion, but it wasn't personal, it was just two people looking for love at their lowest, they didn't think much of each other prior to that
That's the point isn't it? We didn't like each other beforehand but they clicked pretty quickly after the ball started rolling. It began as what you describe but it snowballed into something complexity unexpected. Now they actually have some feelings for each other

>>3455593
>>3455598
Honestly this anon brings up some really good points. The whole not choosing to commit to relationship thing is pretty mature considering it wasn't to long since we were nose diving into a relationship with Nina in the middle of all this war nonsense. There really is no need to jump straight into a relationship as fast as possible other than, well, waifufaggotry and I say this as the biggest Yu-fag out there. Dating around and taking it slow seems pretty nice actually

After briefly putting your clothes back on as well, you propose a new activity to enjoy with your loyal hobo…

“Do you want to go eat something?”
“Sure, what did you have in mind? Cafeteria food, or cafeteria food?”
“I’m thinking about preparing your favorite. I wonder if they’ll let me use their kitchen.”
“Pffft, we only have to ask nicely!”

And so after drying up your hair, you both left this special bunker room and went to the Clinic’s cafeteria. Thanks to Nurse Calamity’s little intervention, they let you use the kitchen properly. Thanks to that, you kept your promise to Yu Yan and made her favorite! Hmph, looks like you did more than necessary you have leftovers. Something for the patients to be happy about when they come down for lunch tomorrow. Carrying a plate for each of you to the table section, part of you swells with pride at watching Yu Yan drool like Nariko and trying hard not to make you notice. Too late!

“Here’s some delicious healthy pizza, nothing like the greasy pizza joints five minutes from here.” The plate has about 6 portions on it because you’ve underestimated people's’ appetites before. Not going to make that mistake again…
“Healthy…?” Yu Yan glances at her delicious meal with unjustified concern. She’s had enough of your food to trust you about that! “Healthy doesn’t mean ‘taste good.’ We talkin’ about pizza here.”
“Believe me, Yu. I think you’re going to like this one…” You adjust your glasses and smile.

And so both of you enjoyed this quality dinner. The cafeteria is pretty much empty not counting you two. Dinner time was 2 hours ago so it isn’t strange.

“I’ve never been so glad about being wrong in my whole life, this is good shit!”
“I’m glad you like it.” You were worried for a second there. Whew! “I need to tell you something that’s been on my mind after what happened…”
“Oh jeez, you look all serious now.” Yu Yan takes a gulp of her soda and sits up straight. “What’s wrong?”

“When you said I never called you cute, it made me realize I never told you what I think about you. I want to fix that. Opening up being difficult is not an excuse anymore, not with you.” Not only opening up with her, but with everyone else as well – could have prevented a bad thing or two from happening.
“Hey, don’t act like I’m twisting your arm! It would be weird if everyone told each other what they thought about them sincerely all the time, yeah?”

“But you’re not just ‘everyone!’ If it wasn’t for you, Yu, I wouldn’t be here. And I want to make sure you know that.”

Yu suddenly blushes, looking away and taking another sip. “T-That’s good. I get y-your point. You’re cool too.”
“Yu, you need to know you’re one of the most won—”

Suddenly you feel a presence very close by… Next to Yu Yan, Nariko appeared out of nowhere! Your OG hobo ignores you in favor of starting at the plates, now empty.

“Pardon the interruption, dear Johnny and Yu Yan. I could not help but notice this isn’t the regular cafeteria meal.” Nariko has a problem. A very dire problem. “D-Did you prepare this fabulous meal, dear Johnny?” A problem you know very well indeed…!
“She somehow managed to smell it from the floor above. Go figure.” Henry shrugs from the door. They must have been patrolling together.

“You lecherous cow! Could you pick a worst possible moment?!” Yu Yan is full of indignation.
“Huh!? I-I’m sorry! I just couldn’t resist…”

“AAAaaaagh!” Yu Yan gets all pouty now. “You’re the worst! Come on, I’ll show you where the rest is at.”
“R-Really?” The surprises don’t end for Nariko!
“…Be thankful I’m happier to see you doing well, than mad for you ruining this.”

“H-Hold on! I was just about to—” This isn’t how it’s supposed to end! Come on!
“It’s alright, the night is young as the rest of us I guess…” Yu Yan shrugs. Both her and Nariko start walking away. “We’ll leave it for another time.”

Now that they’re gone, Henry finally says something. “What was all that about…?”

How do you respond?

>“That’s things not going as planned, Henry…” Be vague as hell!
>“What do you mean? That’s how Nariko got fat. She loves my food for some reason.” Reflect.

“Nothing. What have you been up to?” You ask back. Might as well start a decent conversation.

“One last patrolling routine and I’m done! Ms. Uccelli told me we won’t need to patrol anymore, and with her watching the cameras we’ll will be okay.” He sure seems excited…
“Good for you, man.” You nod, pretending to be equally excited.

“We have nothing to fear anymore for a while. Though this is a nice place and all, but I really wanna go home. This place is starting to get old.” Henry confesses, leaning back in his chair.
“Yeah, we still waiting for satellites and stuff to come back, right?” Weren’t they supposed to come back right about now? Is the government delaying?
“Yup. I’m worried about my dad. He’s gonna kill me when I come back. …But that doesn’t matter! We managed to keep Constance alive despite…” Henry’s cheerfulness turns sour. “Yeah… I shouldn’t be this happy, should I?”

“Throwing a party would be a dick move, but we can be happy we got through this. It was hard for all of us.”
“You said that, but it still feels wrong…” Henry can’t smile anymore. Thinking about what happened yesterday, you’re not sure you can either.
“Our lives are on the line here. You might waste your only moment to relax by beating yourself up over things you couldn’t change. I know you can’t help it, but don’t think you’re obliged to feel sad.”

“…Thanks, dude.”
“No problem.”

“Maybe we need to go out somewhere to get our minds off of this, after we deal with what we have left to do. I know he won’t resent us for trying to have fun; that was pretty much his lifestyle.” Those poker nights will never be the same again…
“Sounds like it could be fun, boss!” Henry is hyped.
“I’m not your boss…” You’re still not sure how to feel about that after all this.

Suddenly, the girls appeared with the pizza leftovers! They have plates of their own, but Nariko has hers stacked with three big slices.

“Hey, here.” Yu Yan passes the plate to Henry.
“Thanks. You sure about this?” Henry looks dumbfounded. He and Yu are mortal enemies or something, right?
“You looked like you needed one. Who am I to refuse?” Yu Yan smirks.
“Let’s have a wonderful meal together!” Nariko begins to chew away at her pizza stack with formal poise, unlike the sheer horror of T_T Neko ‘eating.’

The four of you ended up chatting together about how nice it is to have survived yesterday. With the meal done and the conversation dying out, it’s time to sleep. You went to check on everyone first to say goodnight before going to the room in the bunker. While you were out, Amelia successfully earned her marshmallow! Good for her!

Yu Yan wasn’t allowed to sleep in the same room with the boys (which at this point is only you and Henry), but that didn’t stop her from trying to sneak inside! Too bad Nina caught her in the process and she had to go back to her own room…

After making sure Yu Yan wouldn’t attempt to get in here a second time, you decide to finally doze off…

…

You find yourself in the realm of the abstract! The Distant Frontier! Constance is here waiting for you!

“Johnny! Philonune! Sorry for interrupting your sleep!” Constance waves at you. She’s far more energetic here where there’s nothing to cripple her like in reality. Far above you in the empty void, Athelone’s cage hangs in the same spot. One of her pale arms is out past the bars, but you’re not sure what she’s doing…
“Don’t worry about that, you told us before.” You smile at the cute little mummy. She needs it as much as anyone else does nowadays.
“I-I need to talk to you both. I wanted to show you this…”

Constance pulls out Dhrtarastra’s head out of nothingness, like some magician pulling a rabbit from a hat!

“S’up.” The severed warrior rumbles at you.
“Lookin’ a bit rough around the edges there, eh buddy?” Philonune quips with a decent joke. Is he learning that from you?! You know it.
“Yeah, I’ve been better.”

“What’s all this about?” You ask Constance. How is she so unfazed at holding someone’s severed head?!
“No need to speak for me, young savant.” Dhrtarastra says. “This is everything left of us. Well, of me. There is nothing of Osgood here. He’s departed to another realm beyond yours or ours to never ever return. Completely gone from the realm of the living. Because he is dead. Yes.” There is a full minute of awkward silence as you all take in that brutal information. Constance looks sad at remembering Osgood is dead.

>>3457094

“…Let us dispense with the formalities. I have a request.” Osgood’s entity coughs somehow, despite not having anything below his neck but air.

“Go on…?” Philonune looks as confused as you do.
“I wish to grant the lingering traces of my power to one of your allies. I thought you two would be badly wounded upon your return, but I miscalculated – there is no need for me to grant you more power. So, what I want from you two is to decide who I shall grant my not-so-powerful energy.”

“Uh… Why us? We aren’t the leaders anymore. …Not like we really were to begin with.” Silently, you exchange a glance with Philonune. “Besides, didn’t you have a contract with her?” You point at Constance.
“Excellent point, young fighter. But the fact remains I simply don’t care.”
“…I-I mean it’s fine! The contract stipulated that in the case of being found out about my involvement helping them by the other Judges, they would take their souls instead of mine.” The volleyball head points up at… somewhere. “…” Constance looks sad at remembering Osgood is dead. Again.

“…EHEM! The poor child doesn’t wish to bear the burden of decision. In her place, could you two grant this defender of the east his last request? We battled side by side together, I know you’re more than qualified to decide.” Dhrtarastra interrupts the awkward moment.

This feels important… What will you do?

>“N-No. Get someone else…” You’re not fit for this request. It’s too much responsibility now.
>“It’s not like anyone’s hurt… Maybe you could become someone else partner? Is that a thing?”
>“…Help heal Constance instead? If entities can heal others as marshmallows, why not now?”
>“Can I ask you about what was wrong with Osgood? I still feel like I barely knew the guy.”
>Write in someone who you want to have the boost of power. Could be any ally with an entity.

>>3457096
>“Can I ask you about what was wrong with Osgood? I still feel like I barely knew the guy.”
Want to learn about Osgood one last time before it's too late
>Give boost to Johnny
Guess Phil was right when he said there would be more opportunities for power, huh? Glad we didn't turn the crystal into a marshmallow then. But yeah, I say Johnny cause our light power has a lot of potential (like us) and the more we can tinker around with it the better. Plus he was kind of our bro for a while so it seems fitting (even though I'm pretty sure he hated us by the end...)

I don't think that giving him to someone else considering his power is fading away as we speak and I honestly don't want to see his entity around to serve as some grim reminder

>>3457157
I can support this combination, he was gonna give it to already. Obviously let him finish his story before asking to about the power so he doesn't rush it, I'm curious what how a felt during those final days of his especially regarding us

>>3457096
This >>3457157
Osgood was a pretty good character, all things considered.

>>3457429
He was an unlikeable cunt.

>>3457096

Supporting

>>3457765
I posted it too early
If he can't have a partner any more give the marshmallow to Constance

>>3457157
+1

>>3457570
How? I could understand if we got the crystal marshmallow boost but we didnt we have about just as much as everybody else and his power is fleeting away, he's a husk of his former self to the point where he can't manifest anything exceot for his head, I doubt he can even do that much

Also as the other anon mentioned it'd be kinda fucked up to just give our dead bro's entity to someone else

>>3457812
Because Matilda is smarter and more stable than everyone in the building, we owe her one, and she can do more with whatever she can do left with his vestige than Osborn could at full power.
>it'd be kinda fucked up to just give our dead bro's entity to someone else
So we keep it ourself?

>>3457826
Giving her a entity that can only summon it's head would be a waste, the only advantage she would get is being able to see other entities because there's no way that thing is gonna be able to defend her. All it would do is waste her chances of getting a stronger entity in the future. And I'd argue Johnny is just as competent

>So we keep it ourself?
Are you reading? We aren't gonna use the entity like what you're trying to do with Matilda, we're getting a power boost, it's pretty much like a glorified marshmallow

>>3457842
The fact he is a head is irrelevant, its the effect he can produce that is the point.

>>3457847
So all you want to give her is a most likely weakened version of Osgood's shitty power with no punchy ghost? That sounds like the biggest waste ever

>>3457849
Not when she is already a walking kungfu master, all that was holding her back was being unable to see enemy Spirits. And with just a weak version of Osgood's zombie mode is still plenty for her to just let go and hit anyone and everyone as hard as possible without being stopped. Then when she collects her own marshmallows then he's going to improve as well, with a partner fit to kick ass with him.

>>3457847
It sounds like your fishing for excuse desu. I don't see how that give us any net benefit to eating it. Osgood's power had horrible synergy with Matilda

>>3457858
But why give her Osgood's? Wouldn't it make infinitely more sense to give her an actually good entity that isn't dying? So that we don't have to waste 10 marshmallows before she can have an actual entity fight?

>>3457860
She didn't get it yet.
>I don't see how that give us any net benefit to eating it.
Posting to not do that, are you confused or did you forget how to write a response?

>>3457869
Not many left that aren't whites or a parasite of some kind.

>>3457870
Gives us any net benefit TO eating it, as in compared to. Maybe a better wording would be that I don't see any benefit to giving it to her OVER eating it, as in I think Johnny eating it would give us an overall better boost to the team as a whole

>>3457860
From what I understand eating it is a temporary boost at best unlike the chrystal which would have been strong and permaniant which is why I wanted to eat both we can take more later.

We should find out if Dhrtarastra would be willing to do this and if he would be weakened at all by fusing with matilda. If that other girl is any indication he will just as powerful as before as they gain there power from their hosts.

>>3457874
So? If there aren't any good ones now then we'll give her one of the ones we'll naturally get as we fight more people. We don't have to blow our load at the first opportunity and give her a near useless entity in the process instead of being patient. I thought Johnny was supposed to be acting smarter now

>>3457883
Except any boost would be negligible.
>>3457884
This is why.
>>3457890
This is acting smarter, on her own she is the most competent person we know, and would be more than capable of knowing her limits without overextending herself. Us eating it or giving it to Constance would have such a negligible effect that it is pointless.

>>3457884
>From what I understand eating it is a temporary boost at best unlike the chrystal which would have been strong and permaniant which is why I wanted to eat both we can take more later.
I'm pretty sure it's a weaker permanent power boost and that the difference between it and the crystal is that the crystal is a big boost that can actually give you shit and the marshmallows only get into that when you eat a lot of them. Otherwise everybody would save there's until right before a battle

>We should find out if Dhrtarastra would be willing to do this and if he would be weakened at all by fusing with matilda. If that other girl is any indication he will just as powerful as before as they gain there power from their hosts.
The difference between Lise's case and this was that in the former her entity was ripped out of her body and stored. Which takes her out of the war but leaves her relatively unharmed. In Osgood's case he died and was kept alive by his entity's sacrifice of energy. In every other case we've seen that entities are able to summon their full body in this world, but Osgood's can't even manage to do more than his head

>>3457890
What do you means ones we naturally get. Ones that aren't hostile to us? The dont join us like pokemon. Why do you think hes useless the girl got one just fine that was half dead that works. The sound one remeber.

The only way to naturally get them one is for them to be super depressed and no on apparently liked that plan.
The marshmallows are only good for healing anyways we have had no stat bonuses what so ever for eating them just healing so it's a total waste.

>>3457895
Well they drain energy from their host. I'll wait on the qm starting how practical itll be before we try it. I dont think we will get a lot of friendly entities we can just use though.

As well if the crystal is a perm power boost I would like the qm to day so becuase so far after eating like 5 we have had no stat boosts just healing. It seems more like a temp buff.

>>3457893
>Except any boost would be negligible.
Except it wouldn't be
>>3457895
This is why

If you honestly can convince yourself that this entity can hardly give us and boost with all of his life force but can also be useful when given to someone else, then you're fucking deluding yourself

>>3457893
No, giving her a useless entity would be negligible. Waiting to give something that's actually good instead of giving her shit now like an impatient little brat is not smart, it's retarded. Taking the boost now and waiting for a better chance to give her an entity objectively smarter

>>3457904
I dont understand why your so confident and malicious with this argument that has no basis in any fact so far. When has eating a marshmallo once given us perm boost any stat what so ever. We have only been healed and temp boosted unless we have an invisible stat we arent seeing.

From what we know of entities they generate power from their host. He will probably go back to normal after a few days on matilida and please tell me how are we going to get another entitiy without the depression plan.

>>3457896
The ones we'll get by beating up other entity users, what else? The entities have no connection to their previous master usually all they care about is the war which is why Welimor teamed up with Lise. The only flames that probably can't be convinced are white ones

And Welimor wasn't half dead all Athelone does is pluck them out of their body and store them and all we did to her user before was knock her out. Osgood was dying and his entity was struggling to keep him alive

>The marshmallows are only good for healing anyways we have had no stat bonuses what so ever for eating them just healing so it's a total waste.
But that's not true they were stated to give us a power boost, I'm pretty sure that the only reason that we could go invisible was because we just absorbed a large amount of power from that Viking dude

>>3457899
>Well they drain energy from their host.
They drain some power yeah but there's a clear limit on how much they can drain because then the entity would just drain all the power and kill the user. In a case as bad as this, Matilda would probably die just to summon an arm

>I dont think we will get a lot of friendly entities we can just use though.
Once again the entities don't really care all that much, we've even convinced a couple of white ones to help us before

>>3457940
>we've even convinced a couple of white ones to help us before
try mindfuck corruption and reverse mindcontrol.
>They drain some power yeah but there's a clear limit on how much they can drain because then the entity would just drain all the power and kill the user. In a case as bad as this, Matilda would probably die just to summon an arm
Which is why it would take time to siphon off energy, not fucking pulling him out immediately.

>>3457940
I'm pretty sure we could have gone invisible at any point light refraction is Philrunes thing and I'm pretty sure we did it before we got that boost although I dont honestly remember that well. The never stated the power boosts were perm though like the crystal.

Your right we can probably get more flames but this one would be staggeringly loyal to us after all this and punching kinda works with matilda although I agree some speed based one would be better.

I guess we will have to wait for the qm to come and tell us how it works as I'm not convinced he wont get significantly better by being bonded again. It's true the other entitiy wasnt very injured but he wasnt strong either.

>>3457925
What? What malice? And there's plenty of basis, if you think there's no basis to the argument then you're clearly not reading the posts. The Marshmallows don't give just straight stat buffs they allow us to control our entity better and they could possibly lower DCs. You're argument is the one making assumptions that we can give a dying entity to someone and have it be fine

>From what we know of entities they generate power from their host. He will probably go back to normal after a few days on matilida
I'd be surprised if you can genuinely bring an entity back from the dead and completely fine after just a couple of days just by giving it some energy. Death would mean nothing to them in that case

>and please tell me how are we going to get another entitiy without the depression plan.
Uh, do the same thing Lise did but with a better entity? What else?

>>3457956
The malic was calling the other anon an impatient brat and retarted. I'm just sayin chill dude.

I think we are gonna have to wait for the qm to make a statement confirming or denying the situation as one of us is right and not enough info to confirm either.

We will have to go entity hunting then. I did like the D boy tho. Much more then Osborn.

>>3457947
>try mindfuck corruption and reverse mindcontrol
Reread the argument, the point wasn't to give her an white flame it was that it is very possible to convince am entity to join us

>Which is why it would take time to siphon off energy, not fucking pulling him out immediately
He's literally dying right now, he'll probably lose more energy than we can give him without undergoing severe side effects

>>3457948
>I'm pretty sure we could have gone invisible at any point light refraction is Philrunes thing
Yes but it takes a lot of energy to do it now, I don't think we could've have always done it this whole time

>I'm pretty sure we did it before we got that boost although I dont honestly remember that well
Think about it. If we became invisible when we were running from Amelia and we could only move after getting the power boost then of we did it before then we would be running from Amelia while injured which would make no sense

>The never stated the power boosts were perm though like the crystal.
I mean it was never stated that they were temp either. Absence of an evidence is not evidence of am absence

>but this one would be staggeringly loyal to us after all this
I mean they're all plenty loyal to us. Welimor had no troubles getting along with Lise, so unless if they have clashing personalities any entity should be fine

>although I agree some speed based one would be better.
I'm honestly thinking range would be better so that she doesn't get fucked over by one herself

>I guess we will have to wait for the qm to come and tell us how it works as I'm not convinced he wont get significantly better by being bonded again. It's true the other entitiy wasnt very injured but he wasnt strong either.
You're just gonna wait until the qm comes with word of God instead reading discussion and coming to a conclusions yourself? That seens kind of lame. Also why would you assume he can just come back like that solely by being bonded with another person? Why wouldn't he ask us to do that then? He's not dumb he would mention it if he could

>>3457968
>The malic was calling the other anon an impatient brat and retarted. I'm just sayin chill dude.
That? You do realize I was taking about how Johnny acted before right? That wasn't directed toward the other anon at all

>I think we are gonna have to wait for the qm to make a statement confirming or denying the situation as one of us is right and not enough info to confirm either.
Once again I think just waiting for word of God instead of having and be convinced by actual discussion is kind of lazy. I can see why discussion was so dead for a while here

>We will have to go entity hunting then. I did like the D boy tho. Much more then Osborn.
Really? At least Osgood could be a bro, this guy was kind of bland to me

>>34579928
I just mean on if the marshmallo is perm or not, we can discuss either things. I'm not really gonna be convinced it's not temp and I dont think your gonna be convinced so I'd rather not clutter the thread with redundant posts.

What entities should we have in our grab bag right now? Mabey we could pick two from the ones we know of and see if they are willing to join trent and matilda.

>>3458011
Honestly I don't remember most of them, but right now we have Kaz's entity and that Billy guy's. Those could both be pretty useful on Matilda

>>3458020
Fuck what do they do again?

>>3457992
>I can see why discussion was so dead for a while here
It's because people were retards who didn't bother or care about anything in the quest until waifus took their toll, you fucking faggot. Only now are people beginning to give a shit about things outside of the girls in the story. You would see BARELY a handful of constructive discussion and posting going on before 30 or so threads ago. Fuck outta here.

>>3458024
>>3458020
>Kaz's entity
Anything broken or otherwise unable to function well becomes fully able to function in the hands of the user.
>Billy's entity
Not stated anywhere or explained, but the outdated character document in the OP says something about shrinking and regrowing his own size.

>>3458024
Well you should knows Kaz's he can make broken things work again, it's pretty similar to Brad's in all honesty. She can infinitely use guns and make electronics work in the crimzone. And Billy's can shrink his entity to up to 5 cm and he can see what his entity sees is he closes his eyes. Depending on the range it could be an amazing recon ability so that Matilda can investigate without having to put herself in danger

>>3458029
I know waifus fucked with it too but just waiting to ask the creator of a work any question instead of discussing it and coming to a conclusion yourself universally kills discussion as well

>>3458036
Yeah actually kaz's is great we should see if his entitiy is up to parlay

>>3458078
He treated his entity like shit IIRC so it should actually be easier than most

>>3457610
That depends.

>>3458078
>>3458095
>He treated his entity like shit
Somehow mindbreaking it to the point of permanently silencing all thought and personality, robbing it of all free will possible, counts as "treating it like shit", yes?

>>3458804
Hey White Flames do it why not him?

“Can I ask you about what was wrong with Osgood? I still feel like I barely knew the guy, even after all this time. I think he pretty much hated me at the end there…”

This is your last chance to know anything about the man you faced in multiple poker face-offs.
The man who had your back against the first few real enemies you fought in this stupid war.
The man who fought Flint to a standstill after he wiped the floor with you and several others.

The man who laid his life on the line probably more than you have, doing his best as much as you have…

“Don’t misunderstand what I’m about to say, boy. These words aren’t for your comfort but what I’ve witnessed: The only man he truly hated was himself. He carried an insurmountable guilt, which began to weigh him down and eventually lost him all those who would support him. He truly felt incapable of bringing joy to others.” Dhrtarastra explains in his rumbling bass tone. “Unlike most fools blind to their faults, he knew he was too worthless to change, knew all he touched fell to dust and rot. He couldn’t keep the façade much longer. Knowing all he knew deep inside, he decided to throw his life away in a selfless act. His one hope was he could prove his own self-loathing wrong, that he was more than he believed himself to be…” The otherworldly warrior scoffs. “But in the end, he only confirmed his cowardice to me. From the moment his despair called to me in his moment of ineptitude to the moment he expired in your arms, he was always a coward."

“But…” You cannot manage to get a single word out before the disembodied entity continues.

“Osgood wasn’t a man of many friends, as I’m sure you could tell. He was inherently incapable of connecting with other people – he freely and selfishly took of others’ goodwill, and they did not go blind to this. Every meaningful bond he forged would be severed eventually. The more he shambled his way through his empty life, the more people scorned him and flung him aside like the persistent scum he was.” You can sense some of the same loathing Osgood had in his own voice too… “The poor maiden Ajna, his ex-ally Conti… His closest all abandoned him without lingering regrets or doubts…”

“Except for one. One who always believed in Osgood. One who believed he could change. One who accompanied him in the highs and lows. One who shouldered the burdens with him, as a true comrade must. The man Bradford Cahill sincerely always had Osgood’s back, as both felt nobody else would. Not to say he was flawless, but that both were too flawed to know any better.” Something close to a chuckle comes from Dhrtarastra’s mouth. “When all hope is lost, fools bond with other fools. Such is life in war.”

“Wait, he was that great of friends with Mr. Conti?!” Conti wasn’t a complete total asshole?! Or does that make him worse…? Still, how?! They didn’t seem close at all! They even betrayed each other in the last Poker Night in a stunning reveal!
“No. His son, Frederick Conti, was best friends with Osgood for the longest time. That is, until the inevitable happened…” Wait, Conti has a son?!

“Well, what about his girlfriend Ruby?” They were in love with each other, right?! “Didn’t he go rescue her from some guy that one time? They had a big argument about him being in the war, didn’t they?”

“…She may have been the other one, yes, but Osgood refused to drag her down with him. Her family did not see any future for her with Osgood, a deadbeat college student with no prospects for work or a decent life. When they ‘applied their pressure’ upon her, the way opulent families tend to do in these matters, she resolved to sever ties with them to remain with Gaumont. Yet, Osgood was incapable of providing a safe and stable life for her, bringing great peril and chaos to her life.” Pausing for a moment, Dhrtarastra stares into your eyes with a look you know too well. “I know you. I know your fallen angel too. We are warriors just the same. We share the same burdens. He thought it wasn’t fair and couldn’t keep lying to himself any longer. The day before his death, he brought their relationship to an end.”

“They broke up?!” This is the point where you’re overwhelemed. Too much information in one sitting, damnit!
“Indeed. You heard him yourself: he never thought he met a single person who ended up better off in life because of him. Even the woman of his dreams wasn’t an exception.”

“But there had to be more people in his life than just them! Didn’t his parents know how he was? Didn’t they give a shit about helping him if they knew what he was going through?!” Why didn’t they do anything to make him feel better?! He was always right there, there was no reason for them to ditch him!


“Yet he felt there was no one else for him to turn to. Even if there were, he refused to seek help or guidance, refused to free himself from his own suffering with the aid of others.” Dhrtarastra goes quiet again. “…Perhaps you could have been the one to reach him, yet you never returned the generosity he gave you. You were lacking. Not only this, but he also deeply resented you for Bradford’s death. His suffering and his pride made approaching you not an option. He wanted you to initiate the talk, one-on-one, as fellow men. It could have made all the difference, but it didn’t happen…”

He’s right. You did see him smoking alone out in the snow, before things went to shit. At the time you didn’t bother talking to him, thinking he wasn’t worth giving the time of day anymore after how he acted. Maybe things could have gone differently if you cared…

But you didn’t care. You didn’t want to care. Nobody else cared about him, why should you?

…There’s something about this whole shitty situation that’s oddly familiar to you… something that makes you feel sick just thinking about it.

You swallow the sick sensation back down your throat. Not the time for it now. “…But what about you?”

Dhrtarastra closes his eye… things. They’re not exactly eyelids, but something similar. He’s about to speak up…

But sadly this is all we have for this week’s thread! Thanks for playing! See you in the next one!

(Later I'll clarify the thing about the flames! Sorry for not doing it earlier.)

Jesus, Osgood truly was pathetic until the end. He was in his constant pity party and did nothing to get himself out if it, he just expected others to help him without ever opening up or reaching out. He was surrounded by people who could've helped but he was too scared to reach out like the coward he was, he refused to help himself and blamed everybody around him for that. That sounds like the opposite of doing your best. Never returned the generosity we gave him? Yeah, sounds like bullshit. We were literally always there for him just as much as he was for us and then his friend dies for reasons completely unrelated to us and blamed us for it and causes a fucking temper tantrum. And after all that he expected us to come to him? Get the fuck over yourself. If us deciding to give him his space when we were busy dealing with our own shit while he was smoking his problems away is what he cites as the reason for his deaths then good fucking riddance. If he acts like an asshole and then expects the other person to reach out to him, I can see why he's ruined every single relationship he's been in, I bet he expected Ajna to come to him too for God's sakes. Being aware of your faults is good but instead of trying to change himself he just fucking accepted it without ever trying to improve himself. What a horrible person

pun is terrible, but accurate. Also shut up Carlos.

No need to kick a man while he was down. Doing our best may sometimes mean uplifting others. He may have been an asshole, but he was OUR asshole.

We don't need to kick him while he's down he does it himself. We may do our best to uplift others but if you act like a total asshole and expect people to come to you, you're dumb
