PREVIOUSLY ON FUCK QUEST:
-Amber's tsundere StuCo rival Auburn Brantly confronted her about the suspicious items in her hidden safe at home, but Amber declined to play his game.
-David Darkbloom, posing as Dalton Cantor, established contact with Mara. He probed for information on her whereabouts but came away unsuccessful. More worrying, Mara is pressing Dalton to do something, but no one is sure what her aim is.
-Amber and Mom moved into Whitney's mansion. Things got quickly lewd as Amber had some tanoshii, first with her big sister Rose2, then with Alabaster and Rose1.
-Whitney reconfigured the Darkbloom Analytics board. She sought out some new personal security, too, in the form of Noelle Keki, former FBI investigator. After a hard negotiation, Noelle accepted the offer to become a full-time bodyguard living at Whitney's house.
-At a board meeting, Whitney lobbied hard to turn on Sand Reckoner's full capabilities for the effort to track down Renee and Alex and buck back against the company's competitors.
-However, Alabaster and the rest of the boardroom disagreed with the idea, and talked her down from doing it.
-Whitney extended an offer to Galatea to become the company's new CIO. She accepted only after being gently extorted.
-To avert suspicion, Galatea forged an identity for herself with the sort of bona fides that a major tech firm would look for in a CIO. Part of the ruse involved retroactively cementing her marriage to Cerise. Anna Healy is now Anna Soliloquy.
-In a conversation with Kay Vera, Alabaster learned that she was planning a trip to Palau to speak with Renee's old research partner Gustav Eichmann. Alabaster decided to tag along -- bringing with him Rose, Cerise, Gal, and Mom -- a Soliloquy family vacation and double honeymoon all rolled into one.
-Amber confronted Alabaster about the strangeness of this behavior: the woman who is supposedly her Mom going on an overseas trip with the rest of the Soliloquys. Alabaster finally admitted to her that the woman known as Scarlett Catachresis is, as far as they can tell, also Scarlett Soliloquy.

Armstrong stands at the broad double-paned windows of the boardroom, smoking a cigar.

Nelson is the only other person there. Sitting just behind Armstrong at the conference table, watching him, he asks: "You ever think about resigning?"

"Every day, Nelson. Every fucking day."

Fist to mouth, and lungs irritated, Nelson coughs. "You know you're not supposed to smoke here. Haven't you seen all the signs? This is a proudly nonsmoking campus."

Armstrong blows air through his nose, and smoke billows around him. "Don't make me put this thing out the Bill Clinton way."

"Is that what you spent your years as a Senator doing?"

Wistful, he laughs. "Indeed it is. I learned everything I know from that man."

"Why haven't you resigned?" Nelson asks.

Armstrong shrugs. "Well. Why haven't you?"

"I don't know. We should, right? We should get the hell out of here before we wind up like Sable did."

Armstrong takes a long drag. "We missed our boat. We should have left when David died. As it stands, though. We're not just up the creek without a paddle -- we're neck fucking deep in a Mississippi River of shit."

Nelson runs a hand through his hair, sighs in frustration. "I guess you're right. Even if we did leave, where would we go? This company is the biggest joke on the planet. Nobody in their right mind would ever hire us. Our careers are over if we leave."

"Fuck a career. I'm worried about someone painting the walls with my brain matter."

"You have brain matter?"

"More than you." He snuffs his cigar on the windowsill, pulls out a matchbox sized case, and stows the remaining half. He puts his hands in his trouser pockets. "Anyway, it's fun here. What does Whitney's secretary always say? Tenchoshe?"

"Tanoshii."

"What does she do, anyway? I always see her around but I've never been clear on what her role is."

Nelson shrugs. "She turned me on to some good eroge. So as far as I'm concerned, she's value-added."

"What in the fuck is an eroge?"

"Forget it. But yeah. It's fun here. I mean... I never fucked a bunnygirl before Whitney became our boss."

"Hmmph. You really should have come to David's Palo Alto Club for Growth shindigs."

"Why's that?"

"Let's just say a fetish for bunnygirls is apparently genetic."

"No shit."

"No shit. Someone should commission a study on it."

Nelson joins Armstrong at the window. They admire the view together.

"We are so screwed," Nelson says.

"Yep." He turns, smiles at him. "Tanoshii, huh?"

You are Alabaster Soliloquy, 600 Million Dollar Man and harem protector.

The rickety plane touches down at Roman Tmetuchl International Airport. The thing feels like flying inside a tin of Altoids, and in turbulence it had you about ready to bid your tearful goodbyes to the loved ones sharing the flight with you. And what a long flight it was, with so many goddamn layovers to refuel its tiny tank -- not that you're complaining, because those layovers were the only opportunity you had to stretch your legs and get fresh air. Plus there was that dirty airport bathroom in Australia where you raped Rose, which helped prevent you from going into fuck withdrawals on the arduous 24-hour journey.

You might have taken your company jet instead, but you reasoned it was best to keep this trip as low-key as possible -- and since Darkbloom Analytics publishes flight logs as part of its commitment to transparency (ha, ha), staying with Kay's chartered plane was the easiest.

Lady sits in the aisle next to where you and Rose are seated. You and your wife think a lot alike, it's true, including this: you both prefer the window seat on airplanes. You forced your way, though, and stuck her with the aisle seat. But she spent most of the trip huddled up against you as close as she could get, staring back in fright at Lady, who wouldn't leave her alone.

Across from you are Cerise and Gal, both thin-skinned in more ways than one. They spent the flight huddled beneath a blanket together. Although you're pretty sure there was more than cuddling happening under there.

They are such degenerates. Shameful, really.

And in the only two seats at the front of the cabin, Kay and Mom had a long, long, long time to get to know one another. They both like cribbage; they both love the Oliver Stone film JFK, and think it really broke open a lot of truths; they adore the beach but fear shark attacks; they think anime is silly and wish today's generation would read more. Mom's old lady hobby is baking, of course; Kay's is knitting, but each respects the other's preference. Their gabbing filled the cabin and was frequently the only thing to listen to. At the end of it all, Kay had promised to pitch to her editors the idea of giving Mom her own monthly column on cooking in TIME. Mom was humble, waving the possibility off, but it was Kay who was insistent.

"After tasting the food you cook for us at DBA?" Kay said. "You deserve to be nationally known. The world needs your expertise!"

But now, blessedly, the flight is through. The little plane taxis across the tarmac. You gaze from the window; traffic here is sparse to nonexistent. Actually, you're the only plane here, inbound or out. So maybe it's no surprise that, while you don't have a press junket awaiting you like you did in Beijing, you do have a pair of Palauans waiting to receive you.
>>
>>3788057
Didn't expect Kay and Mom would be so similar. That's pretty cute

The sticky humidity almost bowls you over as you step forth from the plane's open door. The heat of this place actually thrums, and clings to you; in mere moments you're already beginning to soak through your tee.

A statuesque Micronesian woman in traditional garb -- long, floral-pattern skirt and grass brassiere, plus a band of flowers in her raven hair -- holds both hands wide and aloft, the spitting image of bobbling dashboard decoration, as Kay, first down the stairs, approaches. She ushers Lady along by his leash.

"Yvonne Tamaguld, our very own Miss Palau, welcomes you!" A pot-bellied man in a grass kilt tells you. The sash over the woman's torso confirms: this is the illustrious Miss Palau herself.

She hands Kay a lei. Kay takes it, and in one fluid motion tosses it like a frisbee towards the sandy beach that isn't too far away on the right.

Yvonne has a number of multicolored leis looped over one of her arms, and though she is clearly taken aback by Kay's blunt rejection of the hospitality, she doesn't let on being offended. She just pivots towards Mom, next to approach, and tries to hand her a lei as well. But Kay grabs this one, too, and tosses it just as with the first.

When you and Rose catch up, Yvonne tries a third and a fourth time; a third and a fourth time, the leis end up in Kay's hand, flung towards the surf.

"I am -- sorry," Yvonne says, winning smile shadowed by the hint of rage. "Maybe you're misunderstanding. We are the welcome committee for tourists to our fair island, and--"

Kay, reaching into her purse, produces a feminine leather wallet. She tells her: "I'm going to give you 100 American dollars not to be here when we leave tomorrow."

Yvonne's mask drops -- she is now outwardly and clearly upset. She seems caught between flying into a tirade or breaking down into tears. Up close, you can tell she's a little haggard, with crow's feet and laugh lines; getting up there in years for a beauty contest champion.

Kay unclasps the wallet and pulls out Mr. Franklin. Yvonne is steadfast but her obese companion isn't. He takes the money in his grubby hands, says "thanks!" and skedaddles.

Kay pulls a second Benjamin out and offers it up to Miss Palau. Yvonne stands there trembling for a few moments, indecisive. Then finally snatches it from Kay, turns, and storms off without a word.

"Welcome to Palau," Kay tells you all, shouldering her purse again. She puts both hands on her hips and breathes deeply. "Ah... the sea."

At the airport's exit, the man of the hour pulls up to the curb in a dusty white pickup. It's not glamorous, but in a place like this, glamorous is a liability; he's obviously trying to live inconspicuously. Gustav is gregarious and boisterous, an energy Kay mirrors. They hug like reunited siblings, and peck each other on the cheeks. He holds Kay by the shoulders next, stepping back to appreciate her. "Come!" He booms.

Kay reaches up and touches her face. "Come? That isn't-- I mean--"

"This way! Please!"

Kay exhales.

"I brought some extras," she tells him. She nods in your direction. "I hope that's all right."

"I see," he says. "No, that is quite all right. You must be Alabaster Soliloquy -- and the sister, Cerise, yes? I know you, Gal -- so nice to speak in person. And--"

He pauses, thunderstruck, looking at Mom.

"Impossible," he breathes.

"That's what we all thought," you say, nonchalant.

"We have much to discuss, clearly," is his final assessment. "Let us do it somewhere less public, then."

The immediate problem is practical. Gustav's pickup has two bucket seats up front and a tiny space in the back of the cab where three people can fit if they squeeze. Five passengers total. But you are seven. People are going to have to double up. Galatea is perfectly happy sitting on Cerise's lap -- it's a reverse security blanket arrangement, you figure. But someone is gonna have to sit on your lap, too.

More than likely. Rose2 is a bit retarded so this isn't so hard to believe and in fact people fully expected this but I doubt any of the other girls would do the same. I'm not sure if Rose stopped completely after we told her not to that one time but we know for sure she gets pregnant in the future so she's possible at least Even Whitney makes sure she takes 2 pills afterwards, in case of twins. Truly the smartest girl in the universe

We know Season 1 Whitney was, so it's safe to assume that unless they fetishise the danger of it, they do.

Will's 1999 Toyota Golf is coming in hot. It screams across the parking lot of Gilroy Tech, doing 45, maybe 50 MPH. Vivian, beside you, is utterly terrified. Her limo is right at the end of the car's path, parked along the curb. You can tell she's imagining what it will look like when it gets blasted to bits by the beat-up old hatchback whizzing towards it.

"That maniac is going to--" Vivian begins.

"Chill. He's got this."

Vivian is stepping backwards, trying to distance herself from the site of what she assumes will surely be a horrible and bloody collision.

At the last possible moment, Will cuts the steering wheel hard, and Tokyo drifts himself into the narrow gap between the front of the limo and the car parked ahead of it. The tires' rubber makes a truly horrible squeal against the asphalt and an even worse smell as it burns, leaving dark black marks in its wake. Vivian wasn't the only one scared; the few passersby who were milling around are all standing back, too. They scream as the moment of truth passes, then dissolve into stunned babbling to one another when the assumed catastrophe doesn't occur.

Among them only you are passive; you stand there near the curb's edge holding your backpack down by your knees, watching, and smiling. When Will's car skids into place just as you knew it would, your thin tank and short-shorts rustle in the breeze it creates; but you yourself stay perfectly still and calm.

Will throws the car into park, kills the engine, and hops out. Vivian stares at him aghast and wild-eyed.

He jogs around to the curbside. He squats down, and appreciates his handiwork, hands held out before him like framing a photo. There's less than an inch of clearance from fender to bumper on either side of his car. A snugger fit is hard to imagine.

"Pretty, pretty, pretty good," he says.

You gently press the sole of your tennis shoe to his butt, knocking him off balance. He topples to one side, singing a palm on the sunbaked concrete. "Ow! Shit!" Then he's on his feet, gunning for you -- ohhh man.

You deftly dodge his attempts, sidestepping him once, backstepping him twice, juking him a third time; but he has a soccer player's physique and sense of gamesmanship, so at last he catches you, and gets your head in a headlock, and delivers a painful noogie.

"Asshole!" You scream. You wrench free of him, pushing with both palms against his chest to get back.

"Why are you such a fucking cuntmunch!" Will shouts. "Can't you take half a second to appreciate how, like, parallel I am?"

"Greetings, Will," Vivian says, collecting her bearings again, and readopting her cool demeanor.

"Yo." Will turns towards her, rubs his head. "Did you get that lady back? Renee was it?"

"We are working on it."

He makes finger guns at her. "Keep me informed!"

"Hmm."

Will notices, passing by, one of the star players on North High's mediocre football team. His eyes lasciviously follow the halfback's backside.

"Ugh," you say.

"Don't start," Will says, still staring after him.

"The guy is literally named Chad. Get some fucking taste, Will."

He spins on his heels, flipping you the bird -- but lets his momentum carry him through a full revolution and starts to trot away. He follows the unwitting object of his affection, to creep on him some more, presumably. "See you in math," he calls over his shoulder.

When he's gone, Vivian says: "you share a class with that boy?"

You shrug. "I share a few classes with him."

"You -- in remedial courses?"

"Who's to say Will isn't in the AP crowd?"

Vivian frowns.

"Why the fuck should I try in school?" You say. "That's what they want you to do."

"Who is they?"

"Them."

"Them?"

"It's exactly what they want."

Vivian shakes her head, stupefied.

>[x] Invite Will to come with you to Vail when the time arrives.

You whisper your idea to her.

"No --" she says. "No. No."

"You saw how he drives. If we need someone to help us make a speedy escape on Rocky Mountain roads -- Will's the guy to do it."

"I would not trust him farther than I could throw him. Kay Vera is far more reliable -- and an accomplished driver, from what I am told."

"She's a journalist. Can't trust 'em."

"She is enmeshed in this plot as well, and would surely help. She can be our wheelman. Or wheelwoman, as it were."

You get a flash through your mind. It's fleeting, but so visceral and real; a lonely desert road at night, motorbikes circling, gunfire, screaming. And then it passes. Your breaths come heavy and hot.

"Are you all right?" Vivian asks.

"Flashback."

She strokes your arm. "Apologies. If you have the time, you can climb into back of my limo for a moment -- and I will be happy to make you forget."

You glance back towards the building. You really should get going, classes are about to start. But Vivian's pale face staring up at you, and the way she slightly licks her lips...

"Sure," you say. "After you."

Gustav leads you to some public docks, and a motorboat he has tethered there bobbing gently in the water. Your walk from the parking lot to the boat is more like an awkward waddle. Rose seems just a little suspicious, but doesn't say anything. Mom, for her part, looks like the cat who got the canary.

Gustav whisks you all across the glistening azure waters, keeping the rudder steady as he navigates.

Cerise clutches the side of the boat and peers over the side, transfixed. Gal, butt planted firmly at the boat's centermost point, begs and cajoles her to get herself back in the boat too -- terrified of a woman overboard situation. She tugs at Cerise's shirt and almost starts to cry after a few minutes of seeing it.

"You're such a sissy," Cerise says, turning back around, getting herself fully back inside the boat.

Gal hugs her legs. "yes," she says.

"Hey, look," Cerise tells you, pointing at a distant suspension bridge. "You know what that is?"

"A bridge."

"Hilarious. Try a career in standup. That's the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge. We're on honeymoon in a nation of weebs -- joy."

Gal nuzzles her legs, and Cerise pets her languidly.

Gustav has his own little cay to himself, and comes to port at a private dock abutting a weather-beaten wood shed. On the distance is his stately house. Not a mansion, but far more than a single confirmed bachelor could need. He leads you up a boardwalk towards it. You need a shower, stat, of course... but the day is young.

>[x] Get right to the interview with Gustav.

You all sit with Gustav in his clean, white, high-ceilinged, lushly carpeted living room. Lady, tracking sand in between his paws, receives a stern glare from Gustav. But he's too gracious a host to say anything.

"Thank you so much for inviting me into your home," Kay says. She pulls a notepad from her purse already littered with notes in shorthand. She settles on a loveseat and faces him across his coffee table where he sits on a lounger.

He draws his eyes away from Kay's unruly rottweiler, who even now is sniffing his own ass. "Perish the thought of thanking me, Ms. Vera! I should be thanking you. I get so few visitors on this lonely island. A chartered flight to Palau is far from cheap."

"I needed a vacation anyway. Too bad Palau's got such an annoying welcome committee."

"Yvonne?" He asks.

"Miss Palau herself."

"Eight wins in a row. Going for her ninth. But... Yvonne is getting on in years. She only continues winning because there is no competition. If someone actually challenged her, she would crumble. A halfway decent looking man in a dress could probably beat her at this point."

"I appreciate the local color, but let's focus," Kay says. "I'm not writing a gossip column."

"Yes. And what can I do for you?"

"Just a few questions," Kay says. "About your time at Darkbloom Analytics -- or in those days Darkbloom E-Pay, then Darkbloom Enterprises."

"So many iterations," Gustav says, forcing a chuckle.

"And your relationship with David Darkbloom -- and Renee Carte -- and Mara..."

"Ah," Gustav says. "Lest I forget myself. I owe you a real debt of gratitude for getting in touch with me. It was such wonderful news to hear that Renee has been reunited with her long-lost daughter. So sad, what happened to her, back in those days."

"What you let happen to her," Kay says. "I--"

Gustav holds up one flattened palm with fingers pressed together, waving a bit, as if to refuse something someone has tried to hand him. "Let happen. No. I reject this."

"David Darkbloom framed her--"

"I am perfectly well aware of how he framed her. I helped Renee to the best extent I could. My decision, freely taken -- I did not have to take it -- to pilfer the prototypical ocular implant she developed, and to assist in hiding it -- that decision which I took, is the reason I have had to exile myself on this island like a poor man's Napoleon. Furthermore I offered her, and her daughter, safe passage to this place along with me. She decided against this course of action. That was her choice. I could not force it. And yet to this day my doors remain open for her, for Whitney, for young Vivian. No. I reject what you say, Ms. Vera, I am sorry -- I do. If it were not for my decision, you would be dead at this moment, do you realize this? And so also Whitney, and so also Vivian, and Renee, and Alabaster here, and all others. I have sacrificed my entire life for this. Do not tell me what I let happen. I reject it wholly."

"You helped David with his human experiments."

"Also Renee. You were not there, Ms. Vera. You were not there. The man held us in thrall. We believed we were doing good work, to realize technology that would create a better world. And it was good work. And the technology can create a better world. But interceding this, tragically the work became bad -- and so tragically the technology has made our world worse. I ask to myself each and every day, why I did not foresee it. I pay each and every day the price for that failure. You in your corner office at that same company, living on its bleeding like a tick, you cannot sit in judgment. Not until you have been in my position. Maybe now it is time for you to return home. We can discuss this again when you are capable to understand."

"I'd like to continue right now, if you're willing to," Kay says. She flips her notebook to a certain page while sliding a pen from inside the ringed binding on the side, never breaking eye contact with Gustav. Gustav leans back in his seat with fingers interlaced over his belly.

"What can you tell me about the lighthouse?" Kay asks.

"I ask first to know who this is," Gustav says gruffly. "Who is this woman accompanying you?" He motions at Mom.

"Scarlett Catachresis," Mom says. "I suppose you remember me as Scarlett Soliloquy."

"This is an impossibility. You are a dead woman, Mrs. Soliloquy!"

"Apparently not," Mom replies.

You glance to your side; Rose is wearing a deep, serious expression.

"Is that the power of Sand Reckoner?" Kay asks. "Can it do even that?"

"No. Of course it cannot. Sand Reckoner enhances knowledge. It cannot alter reality. Such is the stuff of wild daydreams."

"But here she is, a dead woman," Kay says. "Are you so certain?"

He isn't, apparently; and he doesn't have an answer.

"We need to ask the important things first," Cerise says. All eyes turn to her: "Mr. Eichmann. Mara Darkbloom kidnapped Renee. We have no idea where she is -- either of them. We think maybe in Vail. Do you have any idea -- do you know of anyplace in that area she might be?"

"This is terrible," Gustav says. "No. No, I am sorry. I would tell you at once if I knew. Renee is a dear friend. Please find her at once. And kill Mara. And tell her before you do, that Gustav says: 'hello, you deserve it, you miserable bitch.'"

Cerise nods.

"What is the lighthouse?" Kay asks. "Sable talked it about before she died. I've seen some mentions of it in conspiracy forums."

"More wild daydreams," Gustav says, waving. "Soviet psyops, whispered rumblings of human experiments at remote Siberian gulags. Nonsense, pure nonsense."

"Once again -- are you so certain?" Kay says. She leans forward, elbows on knees.

"I suppose I can no longer know. David... he became obsessed with these ideas, they consumed him -- knowledge as power, and not in the aphoristic sense, you know. I am half convinced he wed Mara simply because he thought a Russian could get him closer to these Soviet experiments."

"Did she?"

"Mara knows less than nothing. She is a rich little girl who fancies herself a gangster. Contemptible, idiotic whore she is."

"David knows about the lighthouse?" Kay says.

"Knows, or knew -- or thought he did. What, by the way, has become of him? He is no longer haunting poor Cerise here?"

"with your help," Gal tells him. "thank you"

Gustav smiles and nods at her.

"David is still with us," Kay says. "But he's a liar, as always. It would be nice to hear from someone more trustworthy what he does or doesn't know."

"There is a rumor," Gustav says. "The Soviets believed that our universe is one among many. And also, that knowledge can be grown in a geometric fashion. With a runaway growth rate, you could achieve a level of knowledge prerequisite to permeate the boundary from one to another -- to slide between worlds, in a sense."

"What's a lighthouse got to do with it?" You ask.

"Supposedly they achieved their goal and then became frightened of what they had wrought. Familiar story, no? And genies once released from the bottle have a nasty habit of steadfastly remaining unbottled. They have quarantined their work, supposedly, in a remote location. It is an actual, physical lighthouse -- deep in the arctic sea."

"Where?"

"Perhaps ask David. I had no time for what I took in those days as idle delusions. I can affirm as much as this: it isn't on the open water. You would need an icebreaking vessel to reach it. Supposedly."

"This is all so much to process," Gustav says. "You are planning to spend the night, correct?"

Kay nods.

"Allow me to cook for you a dinner. You all could use a meal after subsisting on airplane food for so long. As American comedians say: what is the deal with the food on the airplanes?"

He waits for laughs. Gal is the only one to even try, awkwardly, but she trails off when no one joins her.

"Time alone has not worked wonders on my wit," Gustav says. He frowns, then says: "oh. A question for you, Ms. Vera. How fares Spancer Jardan? Do you know?"

"He's fine, I guess," Kay replies. "He still works for DBA. He's the new CHRM, actually."

"How wonderful. Spancer is such a nice person."

"'Nice person' is... not how I would describe Spancer Jardan," Kay says. "I mean -- he's a person, I'm pretty sure. Nice, though..."

"Nevermind. You know, I receive such little news from the outside world -- anything helps. Example: I am not even sure who the current US President is. The last I heard was of Barack Obama, but I believe he would have been term-limited as of 2016. I do not know who succeeded him."

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Kay say. "It's--"

"Excuse me," you say. "Do you have a bathroom? I really could use a shower."

"Yes," Gustav says. "Down that hall there, the third door on the right. There are towels also."

"Thanks." You stand, and start down the hall.

"Anyway," you hear Gustav continue. "On the subject of the President."

"Right. It's crazy. The President..."

I've found the answer, we're not in a zero sum go for the top score game, we're in a world, and we can be better than this pettiness, we can pursue free love. We can expand the world like even beyond how OP has expanded it in the last two seasons.

When you leave the bathroom, towel wrapped around your waist, you find Rose standing there in the hall. Arms folded, bitchy expression on her face. Did she stand there frowning at the bathroom door the entire time you showered? Christ.

"You're really gonna fuck your own Mom, huh," she says.

"Oh shut the fuck up."

Only then do you notice she's wearing a bikini. You arch your eyebrows appreciatively.

As if reading your mind, she answers. "We're at the beach, right? Might as well swim."

"There's supposed to be some kind of independence day thing today," you say. "Could be fun to go into town and check it out."

"Well we don't have time for both," Rose says.

"Why not?"

"We just don't. We can't stay here forever!"

"You all go on without me," Mom tells you. "I'll stay here and help Gustav cook. I think the lack of company has made him just a little..." she cups a hand to her mouth and whispers: "a little batty." She stands back, hands on her waist. "Besides, I'd hate to be the third wheel on your honeymoon."

"You're not a third wheel, Mom, geez," Cerise says. "We love you. Don't we love her, Gal?"

Gal, blushing, makes a heart with the thumbs and forefingers of both hands.

"And you can love me plenty when you get back later on!" Mom says.

You think maybe that's a case of unfortunate phrasing, but she shoots you a meaningful, sly smirk.

"Okay, well," Cerise says, turning, shrugging. "We'll bring you something nice back from the main island."

"Just bring yourselves back," Mom tells you. "And speaking of which -- you --" she points at Rose. "Since you're the only one who knows how to steer a boat, I expect you to keep yourself sober."

Rose rolls her eyes. "Sure thing, Mom."

In-laws, right?

On your way past the living room with Cerise, Gal, and Rose, you hear Gustav crying out in despair.

"Oh, no! Oh god in heaven, no -- oh my god!"

Heart racing, you stop to see what it is.

Lady has one leg raised high in the air, and he's pissing like a horse all over Gustav's expensive carpet.

Kay, dashing in from the den, tugs the still-pissing dog by the scruff of his neck towards the nearby patio door. "I'm so sorry!" Kay shouts. "He's usually -- so much better-- better behaved--" she struggles against the weight and heft of her animal.

"My carpet!" Gustav booms, hand on his forehead. "Oh, Jesus Christ!"

You hurry out the front door. Now was a perfect time to leave...

Rose is a better captain than Gustav. Owing to her privileged upbringing, she's no stranger to seafaring, and it shows. She makes the ride as smooth and gentle as sitting peacefully in your living room; hardly a bump, shimmy or undulation. Gal, of course, remains terrified, and stays huddled in the center of the boat hugging her knees; Cerise consoles her.

Rose has to route you around a long barrier of buoys far from the shore of Koror. You wonder what the occasion is. But then you see it: windsurfers bounding around, doing tricks for a crowd of spectators. Some sort of competition, apparently. You think idly to yourself that Whitney might have appreciated it. As for you and the girls in the boat -- none of you really have any interest.

Back on the island, Rose docks the boat. Grumblingly, Cerise assists. You stroll down the length of the dock towards the parking lot while you wait for them to finish, appreciating the chance to get your land legs again. But soon Gal creeps up behind you and tugs your sleeve.

"What is it?"

"im sorry sir... i feel so naked"

She's wearing a bikini, same as Rose and Cerise. It's not exactly revealing -- as least not any more than what's being worn by anyone else around here. But she has that self-conscious, socially-anxious, agoraphobic... thing... so of course she must be feeling pretty exposed right now.

>[x] Offer her your shirt.

"Are you asking me for the shirt off my back?" You say.

"nnn-- i--"

Her lips are quivering.

She's so busy looking at the ground that she doesn't notice until you're slipping your shirt's collar over her head. You unfurl it and drape it over her like a poncho; she lets out a squeak of surprise. And then, finally realizing that you actually are giving her your shirt, she writhes around underneath the material, trying to find the arm-holes with her arms. It takes her quite some time. The tee is humongous on her little frame.

"th-- thank you so much sir, thank you--!"

The thing is damp with your sweat, and adheres nicely in a couple spots to her lithe torso. But mostly it conceals her form.

"I'm so nice to you, huh."

"yes"

"I'm too nice to you," you add.

She can't meet your gaze. So you force her to: you clasp her chin and make her look up into your eyes.

"Don't worry," you tell her. "I'll take my payment later."

She shudders.

"Oh..." you add, a perverted connection forming in your brain. "and I guess since you've got some nice outerwear on, you won't need this." You reach up under the hem of the shirt and find the tie of her bikini top against her back. You tug it loose, and pull the garment off her rail-thin body, out from under the tee.

She shudders again; and this time she even gasps. You pocket the little bikini top in your swim trunks' roomy pocket.

"sir..."

"Don't complain. I can still take the bottom, too."

The hem of your shirt hardly comes down low enough to conceal that part of her. She really would be exposed, if you did that.

Cerise, approaching from the docks, sees this all happen. As she finally reaches you two, Gal looks to her, hoping maybe for some kind of defense from her wife, against the cruel whims of Sir. What she gets instead is a hungry gaze.

"Did she do something wrong?" Cerise asks you.

"No. I'm just fucking with her."

"You're an ass," Cerise tells you. But she doesn't demand that you return the bikini top. Actually, she presses you to go further: "are you gonna strip her bottom off, too?"

"Later."

"Nice."

Gal looks about ready to faint.

"What even is there to do in Palau?" You ask, as you and the girls stroll down a promenade towards the picturesque little town.

"there's a parade," Gal says.

"The President is giving some sort of speech there," Rose says. "Tommy Remengesau. Corrupt bastard."

"There's a pig roast," Cerise says. "Luau style." She elbows you. "Lots of people -- lots of places to lose a bikini bottom, too. And fireworks afterwards."

"How do you all know so much about the intricacies of Palau's independence day celebrations?" You ask.

"dont you do research before going on vacation," Gal asks flatly.

"Okay. Lose the bottoms," you bark.

She makes a noise that actually comes out sounding like "eek."

"Not now. Draw it out a little," Rose advises sagely. "Make her really dread it..."

Gal is trembling all over. Even the sister-in-law has turned sadist against her. Well, that was no surprise. Rose is a sadistic bitch.

Wife swapping is more of a return trip escapade.

Of course. Anyway I support wife swapping if it leads to some 1-on-1 time between Ally and Gal. Of all the relationships that haven't had much screentime, its probably the most interesting due to how fucked up but oddly sweet it can be.
Also Cerise/Rose shenanigans sounds like a blast.

Wife swapping is usually gay but since it's all girls except for us it's all good. Alabaster's got to make sure Gal can satisfy his sister, it can't be helped

While I mostly agree with this statement I have to admit that Davy Back was filler. It was fun filler and the anime made more filler but filler is filler. Most of the other arcs are fine though

I wonder why OP is going with it. He said before the idea of someone calling Ally “daddy” wasn’t sexy to him even though he likes the fetish. Change of mind/dick?
>>
>>3789876
Possibly. He's also older and married at this point so it that could also help
>>
>>3789876
It was more that he couldn't picture that coming from any of our girls in particular. Of course, this was also before Amber's "Mister" scene, and that opened up all new avenues of fetishism in the minds of everyone, I'm sure. It's a whole new dynamic we get to explore with her. It's great.
>>
>>3789876
>>3789901

This is the main reason. An anon pointed it out late last season, how much Alabaster has grown and matured, so that it struck them how he's an actual man now.

That thought occurs to me also. I can see Alabaster more comfortably in such a role, in a way I couldn't even a year ago (real time or narrative time). I'm still kind of dancing around it though to see how it feels as I ease into it. But it's definitely not like the teenage Alabaster of years past who would be laughable to imagine trying to play that role.

>>3789909
And this too.
>>
>>3789928
Amber should slip and accidentally call him daddy in front of Mom. Please make this dream a reality.

Hey OP, what sort of writing were you involved in before FQ? Did you work on other quest threads or other types of long=form work? With your production schedule, you surpass most aspiring authors in terms of word count per month.

FQ is by far the longest work I have ever produced, and may be the longest work I ever will.

I ran a couple one-off quest threads before FQ. In terms of other types of writing, I started and never finished a plenty of long-form projects. I have written many, many short stories that I completed, but none surpassing more than about 11k words in length.

What motivates me to produce so much with FQ is knowing that I have an audience on the other end already waiting for me to work. Without that, it would be easy for me to procrastinate to infinity.
>>
In the Scarlett Catachresis timeline, who was the father of Rose2 and Amber, at least as far as Scarlett remembers?
>>
>>3790182
Motivation is definitely a factor. I'm on the brink of finishing a 500k+ story and I will never ever ever do anything that long again. Gotta commend you for actually finishing stuff though. Most projects-novels, quests, or whatever, end up dying on the vine.

Have you found any difficulty on the editing side of things? I find the hardest part about serialized stories is that you have to be quick on your feet. Gotta improvise if you fuck up.

There is so much I would like to do over. What you're seeing is a rough draft. I get one pass to write a scene, and a couple-three passes to edit out the worst typos, howlers and solecisms (which I often fail to catch). Then in the interests of time, I have to post. So even at 600k words and climbing, it's very bare-bones, point-A-point-B writing.

Then plot-wise there's a lot that I would like to have done differently maybe, but I can't just go back and undo something that happened in episode 2 because I realize in season 6 that it would have created something more interesting. That has upsides too, though, because accidents of plot that happen because of the need for speed have just as often created unintentional connections that enrich the story -- and would otherwise have been cut without a second thought before getting the chance to do so.

>>3789963
Holy shit.
>>
>>3790262

I'm sure there are better examples. But I forgot until I was writing the scene where Spancer got his promotion, that Spancer had played tennis with Tyrus at the tennis tournament. How could I set up a situation where Whitney wanted everyone who worked closely with Tyrus gone from the company while keeping Spancer around? I had to come up with a little bit of cute exposition for that. So you get Rose2 pointing it out directly in her... unique way... Whitney rejecting it, and Spancer with the line that he cannot self-terminate. It made the scene funnier, but that was all improvisational.

Renee thinks it would be kind of funny if she could appreciate it from the outside. Her mouse and keyboard are designed with ergonomics in mind, soft padding and sleek Germanly engineered curvatures and all. But with one wrist cuffed to the desk 14 hours a day, she's nonetheless on the fast track to carpal tunnel syndrome. She massages her sore wrist and the red welt the handcuff's cruel stainless steel has bitten into her.

Two of the programmers on the team are carrying on an animated argument in Russian, which naturally Renee cannot make heads or tails of -- nor does she particularly care. She's more focused on Alex, his blankly emotionless expression and jarringly fast typing. The boy has been coding for three, four straight days (time is so hard to keep track of) and shows no signs of slowing. In their cell, she never sees him sleep. He just stares at the dingy concrete ceiling there -- his face, as always, blank. He looks so alien to her when he's lying there on his cot, pinstriped by an amber light shining through the barred window from a source Renee can't discern when she looks out. He won't speak. She tries and tries to get even a word from him, but it's like he's half phased-out from existence. He doesn't even acknowledge her presence. The only sign she has that anything remotely human remains of him, is this: every night, they both receive the same dinner, two grilled cheeses slid across the dirty ground and through the gap under the solid steel door; Alex eats his only after meticulously pulling the crust off, tearing it into pieces and setting them on the window's ledge. Before dawn each morning as the birds are stirring, he watches the ones that fly down to to eat.

"And you, Renee?" One of the programmers asks in his thick accent.

"What?" She asks.

His buddy is half giggling.

The first one asks, halitosis pouring from his yellow mouth: "We want a second opinion. The better captain. Kirk, or Picard?"

Renee shakes her head and looks heavenward. This is beyond absurdity -- it's like a practical joke perpetrated on her by the universe. But she wants to stay in the good graces of her captors, for the time being. So surreal as it is to have this debate, in this situation, she stakes her opinion. "Picard. That's obvious."

"See!" The rot-breathed programmer proclaims. "A cultured woman."

The two men go on bickering in Russian. A moment later, the programmer who Renee sided with draws a lighter from his pocket and unexpectedly slides a cigarette between Renee's lips. She gasps. She takes it between her index and middle finger as the fat man lights it, and savors that first, delicious inhalation. She's been without for days, cold turkey. Not even the federal penal system was so cruel. Eyes dreamily shut and lips parted, she cherishes a sweet burst of nicotine.

"All three of you are wrong."

Renee's eyes shoot open. Alex has spoken, at last. And even as he continues his frenzied typing, he adds: "Janeway is the best captain."
>>
That night in their cell, Renee sits on the edge of her cot, hands gripping the sides, and asks: "are you working on Diogenes? I can't see your monitor where they have me sitting. Is that what you've been so focused on?"

Alex, supine, has his hands laced over his thin belly. "They listen to us, you know."

Renee chews the inside of her cheek. She already sorely wishes she had some more cigarettes. Yes, Alex is right; they listen to them. It's smartest to keep themselves compartmentalized. If Alex is plotting something, he has to plot alone -- lest he endanger them both.

"We're gonna get out of here," Renee says.

"Maybe you will. I won't."

"We both will," Renee insists. "I promise."

"I don't want to," Alex says. "When I'm through with this... I'll be through."

Renee feels a flash of anger: "You need to cut this suicidal-type talk, Alex. It isn't helping."

He finally looks her way. He sees the stern expression on her face, and rises to his butt, finally meets her eyes. His tone, at long last, sounds halfway emotive. "I'm sorry, Ms. Carte."

"Don't be sorry, either. Just keep focused. My daughters will come through for us."

Alex furrows his brow. "Daughters... I thought you only had Whitney."

"Vivian may not be mine by blood. But she's mine, too."

"How can you stand this?" Alex asks. "Here. This place. You're so sure it's going to be okay... how could you possibly?"

"I'm used to being in prison, I guess. And I got out once before, so."

He nods. He's so small and fragile looking. Renee loves this boy; if there's anybody on the planet who less deserves such torment, she thinks, she hasn't met them.

"Do you think we're here for a reason, Ms. Carte?" Alex asks. "Big picture -- like the universe has a purpose for us."

"I don't know anymore," Renee admits. "I used to think so. But maybe we're just lost."

He shakes his head. "I know my reason now."

You sit with David Darkbloom in Vivian's living room. He's at the plate again, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, and so you're all rooting for him not to strike out again.

"What is this I hear about a new CIO?" Mara asks over the phone.

"It is beyond all words," Darkbloom says. "She is hiring the girl who perpetrated the 3/10 hack. So truly absurd..."

He gives Whitney a meaningful look. Although he's playing the role of Dalton, that remark there -- that was also his true opinion.

"Unbelievable," Mara says. "David's bastard is surely a mental defective. His genes were as weak as the rest of him."

The hatred that shadows Darkbloom's face is more than a little scary. Maybe that comment on its own can make Darkbloom do a 180 on his opinion of Gal being a member of the board.

Whitney shakes her head at him -- silently advising 'bio-dad' not to take the bait Mara threw his way.

He asks Mara: "do you want me to turn on Sand Reckoner?"

It's an Oscar-worthy performance. The way he asks the question threads the needle between suggesting a new idea of his own volition and dithering over a directive already received. Whitney, turning and taking a seat beside her little sister, has her knuckles pressed to her lips, expression grim.

"We must," Mara says. "Do not back down now, Dalton. Your success in this is critical. Sand Reckoner must be activated."

Whitney closes her eyes and shivers. How close she came to catastrophe -- it's a sobering realization.

"I have a guest with me," Darkbloom says.

A long, heart-stopping silence on the other end of the line.

Armstrong at bat: "We need to get rid of Whitney. She's off her fucking rocker."

"A little late to see reason, Steven," Mara tells him.

He laughs. "I'm a slow learner. You know that."

"And Nelson -- where is his mind?" Mara asks.

"He needs some convincing," Armstrong says. "Dumb Jew still likes Whitney. But I think I can swing him to the other team before this Galatea cunt gets on the board. We can force Whitney and Vivian out. But... that said, I'd like to have sit-down, you know -- you, me and Nelson. Work out what's in it for us."

"So mercenary," Mara says.

"Oh, don't you start," Armstrong laughs.

"I am quite busy here," she says. "Mr. Hamilton can be your point of contact."

"Understood," Darkbloom says. "He should be on his way from London as we speak."

"I will be incommunicado for a few days," Mara announces. "Please continue your progress."

Whitney buries her head in her hands, boiling with frustration. Vivian seethes too, but more subtly -- just a small tic of her facial muscles.

"I trust Rowan Hamilton will relay the critical details to you?" Darkbloom prods.

"Yes. He will speak with me after he leaves Palo Alto."

"Good," Darkbloom says. He's smiling. And that smile is genuine.

Mara hangs up. Fazil, sitting at the PC, and Nelson, standing over Fazil's shoulder, glance your way.

"Well?" Whitney asks.

"She is indeed at Vail," Fazil says. He spins the monitor. "Somewhere within this radius."

"You tracked her better than Gal?" Whitney breathes.

"This was my second doctoral thesis -- deanonymizing Tor relays."

"Shit," you say. "You didn't hand that to ErdoÄźan, did you?"

"It's a pretty wide radius, though," Nelson says, glum.

You walk over and check it out from up close, where you can read the scale bar in the bottom right. Wide, shit. It's a radius of 2 miles. In mountainous terrain... talk about a needle in a haystack.

That evening, you pass the time out by the front gates of Whitney's mansion. You're sitting the wrong way on a hard wood chair inside a little guard shack with Noelle, sipping a beer. You play gin rummy with her, a game she's stupefyingly good at.

"Are you of age?" Noelle asks between hands, tallying up her massive point lead across the three simultaneous games. The scoring in gin rummy always fucks with your head.

"100% underage," you tell her. You burp; she cringes. "Can't drink, can't smoke, can't vote, can't lose my shirt in Vegas, can't get blown up in the desert for the military-industrial complex, and definitely can't fuck."

"Can't rent a car, either," Noelle adds.

"That one's waaaay in the future," you say. "You have to be fucking ancient before you can do that. Crypt keeper ancient. That's, what, 25 years old?"

Noelle grimaces. You shuffle the deck and begin the deal.

"So how long are you and your Mom stuck here?" Noelle asks.

"Who knows."

"Put in a good word for me with her. She hates my guts."

"You're a pig. So I hate your guts, too."

Noelle shakes her head. "Former pig," she corrects.

"Once a pig, always a pig. Oink oink, bitch."

"They might have burned me, but I still believe in the mission. The FBI does good. It does. We've -- err, they've -- taken down some of the world's most vicious drug lords, stopped mass shootings before they happened, foiled terror plots..."

"So they make the world a less interesting place," you say.

"Ancient Chinese curse," Noelle says. "May you live in interesting times. Better to live an easygoing life, with nothing interesting happening outside... lots of snacks to eat and things to watch on TV."

You take your cards up and look at your hand. Pure unrefined shit, as usual.

"It's a three-parter," you tell her, discarding a king. "Each curse is worse than the last. May you live in interesting times. May you be recognized by those in power. May you find exactly what you seek."

"Spooky," Noelle says. She throws away a queen. "Anyway, that's all just the stuff I'm allowed to tell you. Some of the things the FBI does behind the scenes would blow your socks clean off."

"Oooh," you say, genuinely intrigued. You kick, scuffing your tennis shoes against the floor. "Top secret. I like top secret. What can you tell me?"

"I just said I can't tell you--"

"Come onnnn. They fired you. At least stick it to them this much."

Noelle sighs. "Well. Let's see." She gazes up at the little A/C unit wedged in the corner, thinking. "There was that group of venture capitalists in the 1990s trying to engineer a synthetic chemical to make their semen literally addictive--"

"Oh, gross."

"They're gone now. And that ring out of Omaha in the late '70s who were trying to create human-animal chimeras. Sick fucks."

"Whoa..." you think on that for a few moments. Could it be --? Naaah.

Noelle knocks -- another hand in the history books, and her score rockets ever higher. How does she do it?

"Do you like it here?" Noelle asks. "In the nail house? I hope everyone in there is keeping their hands off you. I don't need to be on the wrong side of an FBI visit."

"It's fine," you say. You deal out another hand. "But you're right. I can't wait to get back home again."

It's a lie, but you hope it placates Noelle's worry over your chastity.

"All of this, just because Rose2 couldn't sit still and had to show up at the Sapphire Club, huh?" Noelle asks as she rearranges her next hand. You can tell she's quite happy with what you dealt her. Mother shitter. "You must be pretty pissed at her."

"Don't call her Rose2 in my presence. She's my sister."

"Still Rose2," Noelle says. "Forget about always the bridesmaid, never the bride... she's so low on the totem pole it's more like always the flower girl, never the bridesmaid..."

Literally, you think.

"Plus she's got shit taste in anime," Noelle adds.

"Any taste in anime is shit taste in anime."

"So you're one of those. I would have thought weeabooism runs in the family. Especially a strain as cancerous as hers."

"Let's get one thing straight here," you say. "I'm allowed to talk shit on Rose. You aren't."

"It's hard not to talk shit on her, is the problem," Noelle says. "She puts the dummy back in dummy thicc."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're attracted to her," you laugh. You rest your chin and your elbows on the chair's back, leaning forward. "Are you a lesbian, Noelle?"

"Ghh-- that's ridiculous."

You press a palm to your lips. "You aaaare. Oh my goodness. I thought I remembered Rose saying something about your obsession with yuri."

Noelle pounds a fist in her palm. "2D is totally separate from 3D! It's not the same!"

"Don't be so tsuntsun~"

"For a little brat who says she isn't into anime, you sure know the lingo."

You laugh long and hard. You jerk your thumb in the direction of the window with a view to Whitney's long winding drive. "Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister."

You find your way to a cabana housing rows of extremely long beachwood tables, where hundreds of the festival attendees are already being served. Men with carts walk up and down the aisles, handing out paper plates of roasted pork and plastic cups of kava.

Summer's swelter beneath the thatch roof here is as just powerful as being in direct sunlight; the shade helps not at all. You cool yourself with a paper fan that a volunteer handed you. But now Rose, who was too fucking stupid to grab one for herself, steals it when you aren't paying attention.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" You demand.

"I'm dying," she moans, head thrown back as she trudges along. "I'm literally dying..."

Fat beads of sweat run from underneath her massive udders, down her untoned torso, and over her pale upper calves. You gulp, and glance away.

Gal is even worse off than you and your wife. Let's see: a redhead who anyway never goes outside, walking around a tropical island at the height of the afternoon -- yeah, she's turning a bit pink already, despite a copious application of SPF 10 trillion before she embarked. She'll be nursing horrible sunburns for the next week or two. She swoons and sways, and Cerise has to help her walk.

"is this hell" she wants to know.

"Heaven, supposedly," Cerise says.

Cerise's skin is also starting to turn shades. But... yours, too. Face it: the four of you are about the least athletic and outdoorsy people on Earth. Among honeymoon destinations, this could have been the worst possible choice.

You usher them to a spot at one of the long tables that's vacant enough to fit four Americans suffering sunstroke. You sit at the end. Gal, the poor little thing, is wedged between her bride on one side and yours on the other.

"too many people" Gal says.

"Too hot," Rose says, still fanning herself. You grab the fan from her and use it for yourself. She tries to wheel on you, her knees knocking your thigh, and pounds your leg with a fist. You kick her under the table; she shoves you.

"Too..." Cerise begins. But she can't think clearly in this jungly heat. "Too," She says. "Just too."

"im so tired" Gal complains. She lays her cheek on the tabletop. "i could... really... use... a boost... oh..."

"Boosto?" You say, glancing over.

"what"

Cerise laughs through her nose. She nudges her wife and explains the joke. In her deepest and most masculine voice "Boooooossssstooooo."

"oh"

"This is the part where you laugh," you tell her.

"i used my fake laugh for the day already"

You glare at her.

"im sorry Sir"

A pause.

"mostly"

Gomenesai, Anonymous-dono. It's a joke back from Season 1, the last time we were in Palau. Alabaster charged through a parade with Vivian on his shoulders shouting BOOSTO to embarrass and fluster her. It made us successful in our mission to get her a flower lei, however.

Fucking works up an appetite.

Rose, Cerise, and even Gal hork some pork, sans fork -- plates and plates of it. It's wonderful fare, with a slightly sweet glaze over tender, succulent meat. You eat too, and wait for the constabulary to arrive. You can picture it: a stern man saying "Sir, you'll have to come with us" -- now there's a "Sir" you don't want to hear -- but other than a steady stream of goggle-eyed locals who come by to register their appreciation for the afternoon's entertainment, you don't face any consequences. The pace of life in Palau is different than in America. And more bohemian it seems, at least at celebrations like this. It's kind of traditional, you reason. What's a tribal-style cookout without tribalistic public fucking?

The sun is beginning to get a bit lower in the sky, and you're looking forward to the fireworks.

When you're reasonably sure none of you are about to be collared by the local cops, you excuse yourself, to go find a port-a-john. Here's where the festival's planning committee could have done a fair sight better. There aren't any places to drain the vein nearby. You ask a man for directions; after congratulating you on your "big fucks," he tells you it's up the beach -- that-a-way -- a long ways. You begin the unhappy trek. You're godawful tired right now. So much for boostos.

You get to the appointed potty and do your business. On your way out, as you trudge back onto the white sand of Palau's almost virginal shore, you nearly take a faceplant. No. It can't be.

But it is. Further up the beach, at an isolated spot near an outcrop of rock. Sitting on a towel beneath an audaciously expensive-looking parasol. Wearing a bikini, and lounging on her elbows facing the sea. Qiangxiang Xi.

As if she has ESP, she looks in your direction the moment you notice her. She smiles, and waves in a fey sort of way.

You shouldn't approach her.

You approach her.

Your form shadows her; she glances up, raven hair rustling in the breeze.

"Hello, Alabaster," she says, as if this is all the most normal thing in the world.

"What are you doing h--"

"I am considering to buy Palau. What do you think? What would the UN say to that? If I were to offer half a trillion dollars, say -- to the government of Palau, to dissolve their parliament, rescind their constitution, and hand their population over to our company?"

"A slave island?" You sputter.

"We haven't had a good one since Haiti. Such a pity. Do you want to take a seat? There is room on my towel."

"You followed me here," you say, still standing.

"Yes. Your pet reporter chartering a plane to such a remote location piqued my interest. I do not know for sure, but... if I were forced to hazard a guess, I would guess that you have come to speak with Gustav Eichmann. Yes? No?"

You glance around, panicked; Qiangxiang, laughing coolly, tells you: "Calm yourself. I am quite alone. Not even uncle knows I am here. Will you sit, please? You are blocking my sun."

The way she says "my sun" -- isn't like just anyone says it. More like she literally thinks that the actual, entire sun belongs to her and only her.

You sit.

She hoists up two bottles. One is suntan lotion, the other is sunblock.

"Alabaster... do you like a girl tanned, or pale?"

She drops the sunblock. She shakes the bottle of suntan lotion vigorously, with the force of a paint mixer. Then, uncapping it, she spurts a few dollops of it into her cupped palm. She slathers it between her hands, and languidly begins to apply it to both her thin arms.

"A commendable choice," she says, holding the lotion bottle steady between her knees as she works. "I see you have varied taste in women."

"Why did you come all this way? To intimidate me?"

"Oh my, no. No. I want to be a colleague. We work together now, Alabaster -- I am your Chief Technical Officer. I want to know about the workings of the company I help lead. That is all. And what better way to do it, than to take a pleasure trip. That's all this is. A pleasure trip." She looks you over. "That's what this is for you, also, it seems."

"I--" you begin, but then she's pressing the bottle into your hands. She takes her hair, gathers it up into a ponytail, and ties it back over her shoulder. She turns around. "Please," she says, "my back."

Trembling, you squirt the lotion into your hand, begin to rub it into the space between her shoulder blades. She hisses gently at the cold sensation, eyes closing.

This is the most surreal moment of your entire life, and you've had plenty.

When the lotion warms up from the contact, Qiangxiang's eyelids come open again, and she regards her from her peripheral vision.

"There," you say finally.

"Mm."

She turns again, sits cross-legged, and smirks -- just slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Well?" She says.

"Well what? Tell me what you want. What are you trying to do?"

"I am going to lure you with sex, Alabaster. And I am so confident in my ability to do so that I am telling you this openly, because you will still fall prey."

You sit back on your knees. "I had a feeling you were an egomaniac, but that's a bit much. You know I've got about 14 or 15 girls I fuck on a regular basis. Why do I need some slut from China?"

"Because I am the best."

"Seriously? Even if you had the best pussy on all of planet Earth, I st--"

"I do."

You give her a bewildered look. Then continue: "I still wouldn't fuck you, because I'm not stupid."

Qiangxiang picks up the sunscreen now. She dispenses some into her hands.

"You're beginning to burn. I don't think a tan would suit you, Alabaster, and anyway I like men to be white. Please, turn."

You turn. Like her, you hiss at the cold sensation of the cream pressing into your tender back.
>>
>>3790940
Well at least she's honest. Rose will enjoy breaking her the most.
>>
>>3790940
... Oof.
Guys.
Don't do it.
Whatever we do.
Don't do it.
>>
>>3790940
I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords.
>>
As Qiangxiang works, she finally rebuts your claim. "You are stupid. Men are stupid -- their cocks make them stupid. You get an erection and then all you can think about is mating. You in particular." Her tiny hands work in tiny circles, from the broad expanse of your shoulders down to your hips, and back up. "It comes as no surprise, given what I've been told of your blessings, and which now I can verify with my own two eyes." Her gaze diverts downwards, and she stares openly, over your shoulder, at your package in your swim trunks. "It must be a terrible tax on your brain to supply blood to such a thing."

"I actually think that I'm at my cleverest when I'm horny."

She's still staring. She's applying the lotion to your sides now, both of them at the same time, tickling you. Her chin rests on you. "Does it disgust you, the sensation of sweat trapped between your testicles and anus? The stickiness of your foreskin against your thigh? Such a disgusting thing to carry about all the time. How can you endure it?"

"I really like it. You can take it out and give it a feel if you w--" you stop, realizing yourself. You've already propositioned her, just as she told you you would. Her smirk is back in force; you want to punch it from her face.

"You can kill me," she says.

"...What?" You turn again, face her.

"No one knows I am here. I am all alone; defenseless. You can kill me and leave my body in the surf, and you would get away with it. Shouldn't you?"

She reaches into her purse, and pulls a dagger. Your heart palpitates. But she spins it in her hand, holding the blade, and presents you with the handle. "Go on," she says. "Slip it between my ribs." She taps her chest. "Right here. Into my heart."

You gape at her, speechless and terrified.

"Maybe I should kill you instead," she says. The dagger is pointing the other way, now. With her elbow cocked and wrist turned up, she keeps the blade level with her face, staring down its length, up at you: "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye... I should kill you now and pull that strange device from your skull and take it home with me. Should I not?"

"If you kill me, Whitney will kill you," you say.

"Whitney Darkbloom is a stupid cunt. We have established this. She is no threat."

Still with the dagger pointed at you.

"You haven't stabbed me," you say. "Are you sure you're not afraid of Whitney?"

She laughs, a long tittering that doubles her over, palm pressed to her lips, her upper body vibrating. Finally she stows her dagger. You can breathe a bit easier.

"What fetishes do you have?" She asks.

"I -- I don't know. Into anything, I guess. I'm a pervert."

"Oh?" Qiangxiang says. "Anything? So you would like me to defecate into your open mouth? You would like to see me copulate with a dog?"

"What? No-- Jesus, no."

She daintily rubs the nails of thumb and middle finger together. "You would like to see me forced to ingest roaches and worms? You would like to vivisect me, and tinker with my vital organs as I shriek in indescribable agony upon your table?"

"No-- oh my g--"

"Do you want me to castrate you, Alabaster?" She reaches suggestively for her purse.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"These are not my interests. But you said you enjoyed all fetishes. I am just naming some of the common ones."

"Those aren't fucking common. And I have normal fetishes. Not that darkweb shit."

"By definition no fetishes are normal. The evolutionary purpose of sex is to procreate. Anything beyond a man ejaculating inside a woman's vagina is a human-made foible, and an aberration; none any more or less inherently normal than another. Which is to say, abnormal in totality. What repels you about one and not another lies only inside your mind. It is your personal, psychological bias."

"Sex is social, too," you say. "It's not just to make babies. I would call the fetishes you're listing antisocial. I like social ones."

"Such as?"

"Such as putting on a show for the people."

"You are an exhibitionist. Yes, I gathered."

"And I like group sex, too. It reinforces social bonds..."

"True. This is a new perspective for me, Alabaster. You are right. Sex is also a social activity." She clacks the sunscreen's cap back on. "We are no better than the bonobos who spend their entire lives in estrus." She stares into the sand for a moment. "However... you enjoy fetishes which I would class as antisocial, also."

"How would you know?"

She circles you, lays a hand on your thigh, leans in close with her chin nearly touching your chest as she peers up at you. "Imagine tying me down against my will -- face down on a table, with my ass in the air. Imagine taking a whip to me until this tan skin you like so much is streaked angry and red."

You swallow, but it's dry.

"And thus I have proved my thesis," she says.

"I've dealt with people like you before," you say. "Paper tigers. I helped kill David Darkbloom -- turned my accomplice into my cockslut -- I can deal with you, too."

She tilts her head. "Do I frighten you, Alabaster? I hope I do. I hope that tonight your rest is uneasy and that every distant creaking in the dark startles you awake."

"If you could scare me half as much as you're scared of us, I think you'll be doing okay," you try, putting up an aggressive front.

But she only titters at you again.

"Go on now, please," she says. "Go back to your wife and sister and the slavegirl you want to install as my peer. They will grow worried if you dally much longer."

You stand. She watches placidly. You turn, and leave.

"I would never say no to someone who wants to help kill Mara Darkbloom." You bow slightly to her.

"Is that a yes?"

"Tentatively. I'll discuss it with my associates."

"We are associates," Qiangxiang says.

"I'm sorry. Let me correct myself. I'll discuss that with my trusted associates."

She smiles.

"We'll have terms," you tell her.

"Good businesspeople always do." She waves. "See you Monday, Alabaster."

---

Qiangxiang has a way of making return trips a lot more dour than outgoing trips. You don't watch the fireworks on Koror; instead, you watch them in the privacy of Gustav's beach, in the warm sand, from very far away, so that the pyrotechnics are just tiny points of light on the horizon.

"I wish things were simple again," Cerise says, eyes on the sky. "I wish we could go back... can we make it all simple again?"

You take the beer from her hands and finish it for her. She's had enough.

"Remember watching fireworks with me on the 4th?" She asks. "On the beach, back then?"

"Yeah."

"I thought for sure you'd run away..."

"How come?"

"It's just the way you were. The way I was." She strokes your arm. "I'm glad you stayed."

"Wow. This was a formative moment, huh?"

She makes a sour face. "Don't be so dramatic. It's not like it would have been the most disappointing moment of my life if you turned me down. It's just -- it was just a happy memory."

Gal, head in Cerise's lap, snores softly.

Rose, on your other side says: "simple would be so nice. I remember when the worst problem I had was that you stole my Volt."

That Volt is still parked in Whitney's garage at home. "You can have it back," you tell her.

"Really?" She says, hopeful.

"For the low price of $500 million."

"Oh my GOD--"

"What? It's appreciating in value every day, you know. Better strike while the iron's hot... I'm sure Whitney would loan you the cash."

She slugs you.

A long silence passes, and you appreciate the bursts of fire in the sky.

"Gustav is an expert at what he does..." you begin.

"Huh?" Cerise says.

You sigh. "Gal and I. We still have these implants in our heads."

Cerise pets her wife's hair.

"You know how I feel," Rose tells you.

"Yeah. I know."

Cerise is less decisive.

I'll let you all discuss this. The final part of the episode will come back Monday at 9 PM EST. There may not be any further choices, though. In any case, we'll leave Palau.
>>
>>3791070
The fireworks thing still scares me.

This decision scares me more.

If we take out Gal's and keep ours, Gustav is the only person left on Earth that can successfully get ours out.

Vivian did advise us to hang onto ours for at least a while longer - why, we still don't know. And Vivian still has hers. Not to fucking mention Daltbloom.

Being reliant on these fucking servers is awful but. Fuck.

I'm going to have to think on this.

>>3791083
Goodnight OP. You really know how to put us through a wringer.
>>
>>3791070
If we take out ours, do we no longer need the DA servers then?

>[ ] Keep both.
I guess I'll go with this for now.

>>3791079
Yes, the implant is the reason we're connected to the servers

>>3791083
Goodnight OP looking forward to the 3 day run

what does Gals implant do again?
>>
>>3791079
I believe so, but I do not think the servers turning off seems that likely.

>>3791070

These two implants are basically a pair. If one goes out then they both should. And, despite server-related risks, you're better with a tool you don't need than one you do and don't have.

Actually, this was less difficult than I thought after taking a couple more moments.

Because I won't leave Vivian behind. Either they all come out, or we all go down together.

Well, this is terrifying, but we need all the help we can get at this point. If we take them out too early we're going to be fucked, and I'd rather rush to get them out than be left full of lead when we're caught without them in.

Bad anon, bad!
>>
>>3791070
so, David must have succeeded at some point because we know for a fact that sand reckoner is capable of causing reality shifts.

But heres the thing. He was genuinely surprised that Mom was alive.

Thus it wasnt David who linked DBA servers to the Lighthouse, it was Camellia.

She had russian ties, knew what the lighthouse was, and we gave her the last elements when we plugged the USB in.

The main danger to us, viv, and gal is someone taking out the servers. But Mara NEEDS those servers since her bridge with the russians is well and truly burned.

Camellia knew how to use the lighthouse she needed a massive set of servers to process all the changes she wanted to make.

>keep both

>>3791352
It would probably be faster to complete her own Diogenes. Let DA do the heavy lifting with Sand Reckoner, while Mara controls the flow.
>>
>>3791083
>In any case, we'll leave Palau.
I want to believe you, but I'm going to wait until we're gone
>>
Let me get this straight:

>Sand Reckoner is a software platform on the DBA servers that enables implants acting as clients to filter and present data obtained through common mass espionage (+ SMATTERS units), granting effective omniscience
>it is capable of leveraging this omniscience to create very convincing deepfakes
>it was active at the start of the story, but was disabled when Whitney was put in power
>Diogenes is a software platform on the DBA servers that is meant to distinguish between SR fakes and reality
>it is currently incomplete and unusable
>it is meant to be compatible with SR implants(?)

>Alabaster's Camelia implant is an early prototype that doesn't support SR, and only serves to improve memory
>Anna's Galatea implant is an early prototype that doesn't support SR, and only serves to improve learning/skill acquisition
>Amber's Catachresis implant is an early prototype that supports SR, but strains the user and disfigures their eye (or is that just from the botched surgery?)
>Renee's buried Penelope implant (formerly in Cerise, now in Dalton) is a finalized version, supports SR and currently houses Darkbloom's mind
>Darkbloom's Diegesis implant (now in Vivian) is a finalized version and supports SR(?)
>Stasi's unnamed implant (now in Tyrus) is a finalized version and supports SR(?), and seems to contain Stasi's memories

Sable suspected that humans using SR could somehow alter reality to their whims. This is the best explanation for Mom and Amber's state. Was Darkbloom aware of this use case or was omniscience the extent of his vision for a new world order? Did Amber deliberately alter reality before giving her implant to Stackleford?

Was Darkbloom seemingly omniscient in Season 2 due to SR, or was he just tracking us through normal means? Was Penelope significant for being the *only* implant that supports SR or simply for being a loose end? Does each implant transmit the user's senses back to DBA or was he only listening to us through our phones? Presumably it's the latter, since he didn't see his death coming.

If SR is enabled, Darkbloom, Tyrus and Vivian will be able to use it. Could the latter fact be the reason for Mara's having installed the implant into Vivian? What are her intentions for Vivian's implant?

How did Cerise use Sand Reckoner to divine Amber's PGP key when the DBA servers had no power at the time?
>>
>>3791587
Camelia clearly fucked with reality. However I believe that Cerise also altered reality at the end of season 2. She, not Camelia, is why Mom lives.

Fireworks are the key to everything. We saw a flashback to that infamous 4th of July fireworks scene. It was the last part of season 2 (except a coda with Whitney posted a couple days later)... and it’s apparently so important to OP’s worldbuilding, that we’re getting confirmation again, here in this episode that Alabaster and Cerise both remember it the happy way rather than the horrible season 1 way.

Now recall this. During season 2, OP confirmed that all the season 1 “this is your life” flashbacks were still canon. The fireworks scene where Alabaster rejects Cerise was the last and most important of those. The end of season 2 blatantly retconned THE most important moment of season 1 that was still canon.

And why? That moment along with the death of her parents were Cerise’s worst memories.

Conclusion: She used the power of Sand Reckoner to rewrite them. Unknowingly, I believe, unless she’s hiding the truth from us, and I don’t think she would.
>>
Reviewing implant stuff to try (and probably fail) to talk about it, and found this gem in S3E4:
>Imagine if China outfits their entire military with their sand reckoner and declared war on the entire world but they turned them all on and their entire army just straight up went blind because they're using literally Chinese knockoff sand reckoner
>>
>>3791587
>Could the latter fact be the reason for Mara's having installed the implant into Vivian? What are her intentions for Vivian's implant?

I think a better question is, does Mara have an implant?
>>
>>3791827
Based anon fucking called it. What a legend
>>
>>3791587
I found what I was looking for, OP's rundown of the implants
https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3268859/#3280589
Short version, there are five known DA implants and only Penelope (currently DAVID FUCKING DARKBLOOM) has access to Odysseus and thereby Sand Reckoner. The others are in pairs (Cameila & Galatea and Catachresis & Diegesis) and can communicate with one another, to some degree.
Stasi's implant was a Russian prototype, like the ones Chloe is working with for China. Both seem to have more in common with the second generation implants, Diegesis and Catachresis respectively, than Penelope.

I think omnipresence might be more accurate than omniscience, although they would be incredibly hard to parse out. Acquisition of any social media company (FaceBook) would allow DA to extrapolate enormous amounts of information, that could then be fed into Sand Reckoner. Using this data they could make nearly-omniscient predictions. But they're still predictions until you factor in a second-gen or higher implant and even then, as Amber showed in S2, it's possible to work around that. Implants need to be standardized in order to communicate real-time data to DA servers for SR (Odysseus) to become infallible. Until then it's simply horrifyingly accurate.

The reality bending is something individuals at DA didn't account for originally. When Alabaster has his violent encounter with Amber in the AR world, I think that was really her, or at least a manifestation of her actual physical self. What she did in there still isn't clear, but it's safe to assume Amber 'knew' she was getting a second chance at life, as long as SR was activated. She wouldn't have approached Stacks with her implant otherwise and told him where to drop it.
As to why Scarlet, Rose2 and Amber are a family, that's still kind of unclear, but it might be a blend of Amber, Alabaster, and Cerise interacting with one another. Amber wants an actual life, Alabaster provides her a sister, Cerise provides her a parent.

IIRC, Gal had a direct connection to the servers, so even while they were disconnected from the internet, Cerise could still make use of them. That direct connection might have been what led to her brain getting fried.

Honestly this is all really over my head, but I'm trying!
>>
>Amber wants an actual life, Alabaster provides her a sister, Cerise provides her a parent.

And because Alabaster and Cerise are degenerates, that sister and mother also happen to fuck her.

Fuck Quest is art.
>>
>>3791950
You forgot the free girlfriend in Vivian.
Although Mara's responsible for that one.
>>
>>3791923
Here's something to think about.

In S3E12, Amber put Penelope in the safe facing Catachresis. The former was glowing blue, the latter red. When she takes Penelope out in S4E1, they're both still glowing, but neither color is specified. In S2E14 it was established that implants can update eachother's firmware. It's possible that Catachresis can now make use of Sand Reckoner.

https://archived.moe/qst/thread/2800029/#2801154
https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3466695/#3471325
https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3757772/#3761494

I initially thought that it would just fuck up Darkbloom due to the mirror effect (like between Alabaster and Anna), but he woke up just fine, so I think the above is more likely.

I'm also pretty sure Darkbloom wasn't self-aware as a disembodied implant, since he hasn't acknowledged seeing Renee fucked in front of him.
>>
>>3792271
Oh Jesus I'm going to have to read through all this now...

Sable admits that he's an 'echo'. It's possible David was backing up his consciousness.
>>
>>3792273
>the implants can update eachother's firmware
I... actually, 100% completely forgot about this. Fuck.
>>
>>3792276
Sorry anon, I posted bad permalinks in that one. See here: >>3792273
>>
>>3792284
I managed to figure it out well enough, haha. Nice find.
Then I guess the question is if a second generation platform can support Odysseus, or if Penelope is so far above and beyond them in ability. Both Diegesis and Catachresis are capable of transfer to and from the DA servers, so it's possible. I do have to wonder if it ties to Vivian's Darkbloom headaches in S3 as well. A user might end up catatonic.

The best part of the BOOSTO scene is how it manages to encapsulate everything that made the original Palau arc so great.

It's completely over-the-top and ridiculous while also still being stupid sexy. I love it.
>>
>>3792409
The best part of the BOOSTO cene is how as soon as she said it Cerise instantly knew what it meant, and both were immediately giggling at the idea of doing it to Gal.

There’s a history behind it that we don’t know.
>>
>>3792426
don't... don't know? were you not around for the original fq?

what am i saying of course you weren't you're a namefag, you're completely illegitimate
>>
>>3792473
Context, hater-anon. This reality has a different version of BOOSTO than Season 1's.
>>
>>3792473
That history only exists in the alternate timeline, anon. Trackman's implying that in this universe
Alabaster and Cerise have an inside joke in regards to Boosto from when they were younger, and we haven't seen any flashback in regards to that yet.
>>
>>3792475
>>3792479
yeah, slightly, but the point is cerise knew about it because she was there for the original boosto.
>>
>>3792480
Here's another fun-fact: Cerise WASN'T there for the original boosto even in Season 1! It was just Ally and Vivian!
>>
>>3792481
I think I've seen goofy boosto in some hentai so it may just be that
>>
>>3792473
>>3792475
What? Didn't the altered timeline take place a day before the start of FQ1? How could Palau have happened in season 2 if that's true?

Or are you saying BOOSTO is actually from the beachside fireworks scene?

Noelle isn't our only bodyguard, is she? That private security agency we used was recommended by Tyrus, and we fired everyone associated with him, so I would hope we replaced them with an equal measure of an unaffiliated agency.

Noelle a qt, don't get me wrong, but she's hardly a replacement for a few squads of armed guards.

>[x] Keep both.

Cerise gently pets Gal awake.

Gal, curled up in the sand with her head still on Cerise's lap, groggily stirs. "mmmhh?"

"Were you listening just now, babe?"

"sort of. im so tired"

"Gustav could take your implant out," Cerise says. "We could have him do it for you, before we leave."

Gal doesn't answer.

"What do you think?" Cerise asks.

"tell me what to do" she begs her.

"I can't tell you what to do," Cerise says. "It's your choice to make."

She appeals to you, then. "tell me what to do Sir... i want to be told"

It's not a sexual domination thing. She just really needs someone, anyone, to tell her what to do.

"Take it out," Rose says.

"not you"

Okay, not just anyone.

"I'm keeping mine," you tell her, by way of answering.

"Alabaster, please--" Rose begins.

"if you keep it then i have to keep it too"

You sigh. "It doesn't have to be that way. There's no rule that says that. Just because I want to keep mine in..."

"i need to. for what lies ahead... for everything im going to be doing..."

"You decided, then?" Cerise asks. She parts the bangs from Galatea's face where it lies in her lap and gazes lovingly down at her.

"yes. im going to be on the board with that awful girl... and david darkbloom... and we still have to find renee and alex too. people are-- going to count on me-- youre going to count on me, Cerise-- and you too, Sir... i cant let you down. i need to keep this, in case i need it..." She's quiet for just a beat. Then, voice clearer, firm and unusually decisive: "I need to keep it. I need to keep my implant."

Cerise continues to pet her.

Rose is close to crying. Hand clutching your knee, she says: "Please don't make that mistake."

"I'm sorry," you tell her. Words you rarely utter to Rose, but it's the least you can do; you're countervailing her on such an important choice, which for all your bickering over petty matters, almost never happens.

She does cry now. Not vocally, but you can see the tears trickling down her cheek in the moonlight.

"I don't want to lose you," she tells you.

You tell her that she won't. She makes you promise. You hug her close and watch the rest of the fireworks in silence.

Cerise, whose magical power is apparently the ability to conjure beer from nothing, has another bottle, and sips it slowly. As the fireworks die down and only the thin wisps of smoke drifting across the flat expanse of the ocean remain, her eyes focus instead on the massive full moon just above the horizon. "It's so big tonight," she marvels.

"its an illusion" Gal tells her.

"What do you mean?"

"the moon is the same size no matter where it is in the sky. it only looks so big because its closer to the horizon right now"

Cerise glances your way for confirmation. Being a walking trivia almanac gets people into the habit of using you that way. "She's right," you say.

"of course im right," Gal says.

Cerise pinches her cheek.

"ow"

Cerise hunches way down and kisses her wife tenderly on the lips.

Mom claims she has never cooked with taro before, or even eaten it herself. Which leaves you utterly perplexed at how her candied taro root pie, a recipe she concocted from scratch, is so good. And you're not the only one; Gustav begs her throughout the night to consider moving to Palau.

"You are eligible, yes?" He says, pouring her another glass of Grand Cru from his wine collection, a rare treat, he tells you all, for rare occasions. "I too am also eligible. I never considered to take a wife -- but for this, maybe I might!"

You glower at him, but you needn't answer on Mom's behalf. She playfully swats his chest and says: "I could never deal with this isolation. And German accents do nothing for me. Thank you anyway, Mr. Eichmann."

"There is much about you that does nothing for me, but the dessert makes up for all!" Gustav booms. He takes a swig of his drink. "Ah, nevermind. It is for the best."

After dessert, you reveal to Gustav the unhappy news that Qiangxiang followed you to Palau, and that now because of this, quite possibly the Chinese know his hidden location. He sobers up pretty quickly when you tell him.

He stands, strides to the bay windows at the back of his dining room. Hands behind his back, he says: "I have hidden from the world for so long... but one cannot hide forever. If a Chinese hit squad wishes to come and spirit me away in the night, so be it. If Mara finds me and exacts a deadly revenge, no matter. If international authorities decide I belong at The Hague, perhaps I do. I will face whatever comes my way with the dignity I lacked when I fled from California."

You nod, although he can't see you.

"Young Vivian had a favorite poem, maybe you can ask her of it. I have spent many, many hours thinking of it in this lonely house of mine."

"What is it?" Cerise asks him.

"T. S. Eliot. Prufrock."

"I know that poem," Mom says.

"I think just about everyone knows it," Kay says offhandedly.

"Well, she was only 9 years old when she cornered me at David's house one day and began to explicate the parallels between the narrator's feelings of sexual inadequacy and the spiritual malaise of continental Europe during the interwar years. So you may take this into account, also."

He's quiet for a turn, then he begins to recite: "I grow old, I grow old..." He looks down, and realizing his attire, he smiles. He pinches the material between his fingers: "White flannel trousers. How apt. Perhaps I should go and walk upon the beach."

Gustav is nakedly and pathetically desperate for none of you to retreat to bed. He would probably like for you to stay in Palau forever and ever. He's got stir fever, all right -- and he's so, so lonely. So you all stick around in his den for a bit to play a favorite game of his -- one he shared with Renee, apparently.

"Am I a woman?" Rose asks.

"No," you say.

"Am I a man?"

"No," Mom says.

"...Child?"

"no" Gal says.

Rose furrows her brow. "What the -- am I an animal, then? I must be."

"No," Cerise says.

She huffs. "What. This makes no sense. What could I possibly be?"

"I believe the object of the game is for you to determine that," Gustav says.

She idly runs her fingers across the card taped to her forehead. "I am a living creature, right?"

"sure," Gal says.

"...some kind of bush or something?" She finally asks.

"Y--" Kay begins, but you cut her off.

"No."

"What do you mean no," Kay demands. "She's a plant."

"She didn't say plant. She said bush. It's a separate category."

"Oh for fuck's sake," Kay fumes. "Are you a professional hair-splitter, or what? She said bush or something."

"Well fuck," you say, "'or something' could be anything. Then sure, if you want to be totally unhelpful, yes. Every single character qualifies as a bush, 'or something'. Great answer. So useful."

"You are such a shit," Kay says.

"She's not a bush! The whole point of this game is to give the right answers -- to be precise! You can't just say, oh, sure, close enough, you're a bush -- when you're NOT a fucking bush--"

"I think it's close enough," Mom says.

"Of course," you fume. "You're defending your new best friend, rather than your own son--"

"I mean, it's basically the same idea," Cerise says. "It gets her closer to the answer."

"plant. she's a plant," Gal says. "it's part of the plant kingdom. bush is close enough"

"This is absurd," you begin. "You're giving her information she didn't even ask for because you don't know how words are defined--"

"Am I the Giving Tree?" Rose asks.

"Yes!" Gustav says, pounding his palm on the tabletop. "Congratulations."

You grumble, beyond frustrated; Rose smiles smugly as she peels the card off her head and confirms her answer.

"Oh, this is wonderful," you say. "Just wonderful. See what you bumblefucks did? Rose is gonna win now."

"Was there ever any doubt?" She says.

When finally you do sleep, it isn't restful. You've only been out for a couple hours when a distant creaking startles you, and you wake in a cold sweat. Rose is in the fetal position, wrapped around one of your arms like a macaque at a petting zoo -- but snoring like a barnyard animal. You often compare her to a pig, but does she need to sound like one, too?

You're parched and your heart is thudding; you need some water. You try to pry your arm loose from her grip, but in her dreams she clings tenaciously. You break free only after disturbing her sleep, too. Her eyes drift partway open and she confusedly mumbles the first couple syllables of your name. The exhaustion and the liquor slur her speech so that it comes out: "Al-lly...?"

"I'm just gonna get some water. I'll be right back."

"Mmmokay..."

You stand and toss your shirt on and start for the door. On your way out, Rose, already 90% of the way back to sleep, murmurs: "I love you..."

She says this to you now. Usually in moments like this one, with her guard down, when she's not fully conscious. It still sends a weird thrill through your heart to hear it, and you're not sure you'll ever get used to it.

In the kitchen, you pour a glass from Gustav's tap and stand at the sink guzzling it down. Soft pattering draws your attention: Mom steps into view. You watch her from over your shoulder.

"Can't sleep either?" She says.

"No."

She saunters up to you. You turn fully towards her now, setting the glass behind you on the countertop. You smile.

She slaps you.

Reeling, you begin: "what the f--"

But then she grabs you and kisses you: forehead, cheeks, lips, a barrage of maternal affection that takes you a some moments to fend off.

"What's wrong with you!" You hiss.

"Cerise told me about it. Alabaster -- you're such an idiot! You're such a useless idiot! Why do you want to keep that thing inside your head?"

You groan. "You're the one who -- just forget it. It could be useful, that's why. We've got so many people who want to hurt us. We need whatever help we can get."

"It's my fault," she says. "You're right. I'm the one who had David Darkbloom put that terrible thing in you."

"Why?" You ask.

"Just money... just for money. I'm... so terrible."

She puts her head in her hands and takes to trembling. You hug her and pull her close to your body. As before, she's so warm. "You can't change the past. And you didn't know what you were really signing up for anyway... it's fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Everything that ever happened in my life led me to where I am today. Right? If even one thing changed, I wouldn't be here right now, in a beautiful house in Palau, hugging you."

She frowns with one side of her mouth. "I'm not sure I buy that butterfly effect theory, honestly--"

"Well, neither of us are scientists. So I wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't change a single thing -- just for this. I love you, Mom. I never said that enough before."

She sniffles and nuzzles your chest.

When she's composed again, she asks: "Was I... too much... back there, in the car?"

You clear your throat.

"Oh God. I was. I'm such a terrible mother."

"I guess I'm a terrible son, too," you try awkwardly.

"You..."

You put one hand on your hip. "It was -- it was good. Really good. I don't have regrets."

You stand there like that in silence, both of you sort of staring down at each other's feet.

Mom is the one to finally break it. Her voice is soft and shaky. "Would you... want to... do something like that, again, sometime?" She asks.

"Something like having to waddle half a mile up the beach with a mess in my boxers? No."

Even in the moonlight, you can see the neon red of her grimacing, mortified face.

Galpals, Renee x Vivian, and Alex x Cerise. Alex x Sable could probably have been up there too, but poor Sable got robbed of having much character development, and their relationship was often pretty one-sided as a result.

>>3792700

I am as wary of NTR type scenarios as readers. Let's say it's up there on the list of forbidden fetishes along with scat and guro. But in Sable's case, although she was nominally part of the harem, she was really just a girl we happened to fuck a few times. I don't think Alabaster had any particularly strong feelings towards her in the romantic way, and wouldn't have minded letting her move on to have a relationship with Alex instead -- because he wasn't really losing anything in that. If anything, it would be more like Alex was the one getting NTR'd since Alex is way more important to Alabaster than Sable ever was.

It was an interesting relationship to explore while I had the time to do it, and ultimately a terribly tragic thing, maybe the most tragic thing in the story up to now.

Back to incest.

>>3792849
The issue with Alex and Sable was that Sable was feeding terrible ideas into his head and was a fucking psychotic idiot whereas Alex became Punished Alex, started ignoring us and lying to us.

The cheating 'really' didn't matter and I'd hesitate to call it cheating since Alex clearly always loved Sable more and our relationship with him isn't like, say, our relationship with Rose, Vivian, Renee or Whitney I think. It feels a lot more one sided.
>>
>>3792905
Yeah, I can't really disagree with this. I think things would have been better if the two had gotten more character development time, particularly once Alex grew more of a backbone. As it stands, the way Sable treated Alex (and really just Sable in general) never had time to grow into anything more mature or healthy. Unfortunate that it got cut off before anyone could slap some sense into her.

Oddly enough thinking about this made me realize there isn't too many character dynamics in particular that I'm that invested in. It's moreso like there are characters that are just more interesting too watch in general. Like, for example, take Rose2. Her strangely endearing cringyness makes me like a lot of her character interactions regardless of the other person. Some dynamics are more interesting to watch than others (Amber, Vivian and Rose1 in her case) but most of those are due to a previous history or differing viewpoints as opposed any built up rapport exclusive to them. Kinda like a spice as opposed to an ingredient. Whitney, Kay, and Amber are all like this as well

Some of the ones I am fond of in particular is: Renee x Vivian, Vivian x Amber, Amber x Kay, and Rose x Rose2

Also, I know you said not involving Alabaster, but I'd be hard pressed not to mention Alabaster X Rose when talking about character dynamics as it's probably the best one in the entirety of FQ. Before season 2, I wouldn't have ever entertained the idea of Alabaster getting married to a single girl before but his relationship with her was just so perfect that it made me support it like a madman. Other than her, his relationship with Kaa-san is sweet after dying and coming back and his relationship with Darkbloom is incredibly interesting, especially now that he's also back

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!" Gustav calls from where he stands by the driver's side of his truck. "Do keep in touch, assuming I have not been horrendously murdered!"

"Of course," Kay says. She repeats with him the gesture from your arrival: a big hug and twin pecks on the cheeks.

"Just do not bring your mongrel with you, if you come back!"

Lady, as if he can tell that Gustav's talking shit, growls.

"You needed new carpet anyway," Kay says. "Very 90s aesthetic in your living room. I hope you use that cash to spruce it up."

He laughs, but you can tell he's just being nice. Despite Kay compensating him for the damage, he's still pissed... no pun intended.

"Frau Soliloquy," he says warmly, hugging her next. "Or Catachresis, or however you like to be styled now. When at last the dust settles, I hope you and your family are safe."

"Thank you."

"Alabaster!" He shakes your hand. "Keep your head above the water. You have quite the little harem, eh? -- make sure to keep them well!"

You feel yourself flush a little. You nod at him but aren't sure how to respond.

The flight home is boring. Blessedly so. You could use a boring day or two in your life.

You and Cerise sit with Whitney in her office.

"How was Palau? Did you do a lot of fuckin'?"

"Yes," Cerise says.

"Your wives or each other?"

"It was all kind of a big love pile," you say.

"Heeh. So hot. You guys owe me, big league. Love pile at my place tonight."

"There's a love pile at your place every night," you say.

"Then it's settled," Whitney says. She turns to Cerise. "Hey. Is Galgal coming to work today or what?"

"Tomorrow. She's still recuperating. Love piles can be a bit... oppressive."

"Too true," Whitney says with a chuckle, "too true."

She's much less happy when you tell her about your encounter with Qiangxiang.

"This Chloe bitch is really getting on my last nerve. She can't just fly to Palau and bully you."

"I wouldn't say I was bullied. It was more like -- well. On the bright side, she did pledge her bannermen to us."

Whitney scrunches up her face. "Huh?"

"What Alabaster is trying to tell you, in the most obnoxious possible way, is that Chloe said she would help us against Mara."

"Great." But Whitney can't move on. "What do banners have to do with it?"

"Forget it," you say. "There wasn't much to do on the flight back but watch a bunch of TV shows on Rose's tablet... the point is... the enemy of my enemy, right?"

"They're both enemies, fuckwit. And while you were out playing Art of the Deal with the stinkin' communists--"

"Oh, that's rich, coming from you--"

"--I was busy tracking Mara down. Or bio-dad was. He's got a meeting with her point-man on Wednesday." She makes a walking motion with two of her fingers: "We can follow him... all the way back to Vail. Let him lead us straight to Mara." She suddenly pounds her fist hard against the desktop, making the entire desk shudder, startling you and Cerise. "Bam. Like that. Operation Jigglypuff is a go."

"...Jigglypuff?" Cerise asks.

"It's a code name."

"Well, yeah, but why?" She presses.

"'Cause Mom is jiggly, and Alex is cute as a creampuff."

"I'm glad you're so optimistic," you say. "But we can at least hold Qia-- Qiang-- Chloe's forces in reserve, if nothing else. Never hurts to have a Plan B. Or even two."

"That's dumb," Whitney says. "Why would you need two? Anyway, it's Plan A or nothing. Plan B is for chumps."

You still eat in the main cafeteria at work rather than the executive dining hall. Not because you want to remain humble and in-touch with the lower-level employees at Darkbloom Analytics. But rather because Mom's patisserie is served in the main cafeteria. And you're not the only one in love with her offerings. Her cooking is now recognized across Silicon Valley as one of Darkbloom Analytics' chief employee perks. Mom's turnovers alone have reduced turnover by almost 95%.

You sit at a table, busily popping creampuffs into your mouth. Hey, what can you say? Whitney made you hungry to demolish some creampuffs.

As you eat, a TV mounted on a nearby wall catches your eye. The thing that draws your attention isn't the giant red "BREAKING NEWS" chyron, because every meaningless "news" item is BREAKING NEWS on cable TV these days. Rather, it's the portrait of the man on the right side of the screen, beside an aerial view of a smashed car on the freeway.

You recognize him: Devin Isstein, your very own congressional representative, and beneficiary of Darkbloom Analytics' largesse.

The volume is muted, but the closed captioning is going.

>...REPORTEDLY DEAD ON THE SCENE. NO CONFIRMATION AT THIS TIME REGARDING THE CONDITION OF KAREN ISSTEIN, THE CONGRESSMAN'S...
>...WIFE, WHO WAS RUSHED TO STANFORD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER WITH MASSIVE...
>...INJURIES. AUTHORITIES ARE LOOKING FOR THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK THE CONGRESSMAN'S...
>...CAR, WHICH FLED THE SCENE AND IS DESCRIBED AS A BLACK SUV, POSSIBLY A CHEVY OR FORD...

You glance away to find Cerise standing at your table.

"Did you hear about this?" You breathe.

She sits across from you. "Isstein?"

"Yeah."

"Just now. Up in Whitney's office. And she started going on about the weirdest fucking thing--"

"Weirder than usual?"

"She's saying that when they replace him in congress... I should run for his seat."

Oh, and I wanted to mention this. Prufrock is my own personal favorite poem. This was something from season 3 I never got to do, a moment where Alabaster finds a journal of Vivian's with words from it on the inside cover: "let us go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky..."

So much of it resonates with things you find in Fuck Quest, which is only natural, since it's such an important piece to me, the author. And in season 4 it's only more relevant than ever. But I highly recommend it.

Mara is really just a rouge gangster but Chloe has the entire Nation-State of China at her behest. Prototype Sand Reckoner augmented super soldiers on the call at all times.

Basically it is going to be hype as shit when she eventually goes crazy cuming on our dick.

According to Ballotpedia, Palo Alto is part of California’s 18th district and is an extremely safe seat for Democrats (Cook PVI D+23). In 2018 irl, the Democrat won with almost 75% of the vote. Not a surprise given how close it is to San Fran.

In the world of Fuck Quest, Isstein was mentioned to have only narrowly won re-election in 2018 (S3E2, “Devin Isstein, that little twerp who somehow clung to reelection last year”) but that may be due to scandal rather than having a tough opponent.

Seems Cerise’s clearest path is clearing the field of primary opponents before they step up, and giving Palo Alto the D.
>>
>>3793529
Actually, it may be a bit more complex. In FQ, this district could actually be competitive. Vivian, to Isstein:

>”My sister and I appreciate your visit. We will continue to donate to your campaign because our political viewpoints are aligned. We trust you to legislate as a stalwart conservative who encourages innovation in the technology sector."

It’s kind of funny that it matters who “The President” is in this case. 2018 was a big year for Dems in the House due to Trump backlash so if Isstein is a Republican who still won in California under that scenario, then it’s probably safer for Cerise to run as an R because it means the district is lean R.

However if the President is Hillary in FQ or some other dem, then it’s possible the district is truly lean D but favored the R in 2018 due to backlash against that president.

It's the platonic opposite of "Stackleford," the name I devised to be the most unappealing combination of syllables possible.

Getting everyone to love Cerise was easy mode -- she was created specifically to push /a/'s buttons.

My starting concept with Rose was opposite. To create a character who represented everything /a/ despises, have her go on to do things that would make them absolutely loathe her even worse... and then from the very nadir of that fiery hatred, slowly bring everyone around to make them love her. I wanted to take you, the reader, through the arc of a tsundere.

I got as far as I could with that in season 1. People seemed to really like her by the time I dropped FQ. But with the reboot, I had no idea just how integral Rose would come to be. Together with Whitney and Cerise I would say they came to form a core trio who are primary movers of the story.

Probably the thing I personally like the best about how Rose developed is the special role she fills as the single person who Alabaster can confide absolutely anything in. I don't think any other character has that, not even Whitney or Cerise. There are things he would hold back from one or the other of them, because he feels more protective of them -- things he wouldn't tell them, because he doesn't think they can handle it, or because he doesn't trust them not to make a rash decision with what he tells them, or simply because he's too self-conscious to seem vulnerable to them.

Note that this doesn't mean his dynamic with them (or any other haremite) is necessarily doomed to be less powerful, loving, or interesting. For example I'm really fascinated with the desperate, mutual (frankly unhealthy) need between him and Cerise in the reboot, which was borne of shared trauma; or how frantically he tries to shield Whitney from her own worst impulses, with limited success.

It's just that Rose might be the only person in the harem he approaches as his equal in a certain sense. They turn to one another for the most critical things because of an implicit, basically bottomless trust and understanding. From that perspective it makes sense why if he married one person, it had to be her. That's a soulmate, right?
>>
>>3794473
Hate = Love is just a really interesting and fun way to write a relationship, but since S1 it's been helped significantly by both characters (especially Ally) maturing a lot.
Speaking of maturation, I don't know if it was intentional or if anyone else picked up on it but I found it very interesting during the BOOSTO lewd when Ally was holding up Gal while Cerise and Rose molested her that the only thing running through his mind was "jesus christ does this girl EAT? I should keep an eye on her."
>>
>>3794200
Speaking of Stackleford, I can't wait for him to be revealed as the mastermind behind it all. My boy Boyd wil win the harembowl
>>
>>3794473
So does Alex actually have a romantic love for Ally? What's his deal? I've been wondering about this since season 3.

Who are the full, official members of the harem? They don't all love us I presume; I can't see Kay or Amber or Noelle wanting anything out of Alabaster besides his dick.
>>
>>3794473
I had to do a lot of thinking about Alabaster and Rose getting married, and with the new season, I'm still wrestling with it. It's an excellent thing for both of them, but I still can't quite agree with it, even when the logic adds up.
It's a frustrating thing that makes me smile.
>>
>>3794473
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but my personal favorite part about they're relationship is that they're mutually tsundere to each other as opposed to just one sided like in season 1. Like, in season 1, Alabaster never emphasized his hatred for Rose despite being intended to be absolute opposites meant to stir shut a reaction. But now she bleeds into his thoughts much more and we hear him monologue about how Rose is fucking him over or how he finds a demented thrill in the possibility of losing to her. But despite a more emphasized hatred there's also more emphasized love, the car chase or the bomb defusing/sapphire club show how much they actually care for each other. Their mutually hatred makes their love the cutest (and hottest) thing in FQ for me
>>
>>3794631
Okay Saul
>>
>>3794549
>Hate = Love is just a really interesting and fun way to write a relationship

It's fun for me to ruminate on where the hate really comes from. I think it's a combination of being so controlling, and so similar personality-wise. Because of these two things, the points where they do diverge from each other, drive them both up a fucking wall -- but also create space for them to try to one-up and "win" over the other.

Say you're Alabaster Soliloquy (and you are). You meet this girl Rose who on paper ticks off any box you'd care to tick. She's physically your type, she's obviously intelligent and capable, she's an utter pervert, she's got talent for bants, she has basically the same way of approaching problems, and many of your tastes/hobbies align (how many high school girls actually can make themselves care about quiz bowl?)

Oh, and also, she's a strident feminist who rails against patriarchy.

Why the fuck can't she get with the picture and drop that crap? She'd be perfect if she did that!

Pretty soon it's all you can think about... pretty soon you're obsessed with proving to her that she's wrong about that, and also this other thing, and the other... oh, you'll show her. You'll show her how fucking stupid she is. Then she'll be sorry...

>I found it very interesting during the BOOSTO lewd when Ally was holding up Gal while Cerise and Rose molested her that the only thing running through his mind was "jesus christ does this girl EAT? I should keep an eye on her."

Ally's growth has been fun to work in. Showing him more concerned with keeping an eye on Gal's diet rather than the sexual thrill of the moment, was intentional. Any faceless old man can humiliate a defenseless girl -- being a good dom is about how well you really take care of your slave even while you play the role of the cruel master.

Alabaster mistreated Gal horribly in between season 2 and into early season 3, he abused her in a real way. But Cerise's influence has made him start actually doing right by her. And in general Alabaster is much better at doing things like aftercare, etc as he's grown -- we saw this with Rose in a sweet season 3 scene where he stays with her after some hard use and calms her down, or again with Gal when he showers with her and cleans her off. I want to work those things in because they're sweet, they show Alabaster can be decent, and they give the girls something more than being a meathole.
>>
>>3794473
Rose is definitely the person above all others who Alabaster sees as his equal, but I'm not sure it's right to say that he wouldn't confide as much in others (at least, given the opportunity). If anything, the last season and increasingly this season are about him learning to trust the people close to him. Like, there are definitely things that I would imagine Alabaster withholding from Whitney, but it seems like we basically trust her not to make rash decisions or judge him at this point. And just as well, there are bound to be examples of him not telling Rose things just because her response would annoy him. I guess I see it like when you have a best friend who you end up talking to less because you're in a serious relationship: it's not that you would want to withhold anything, just that you don't feel the need to cc them on everything.

In a lot of ways I think this is the most interesting part of Alabaster's arc, and it touches on his relationship with almost every haremite.

>>3794568
Man, this is an interesting question. Alex and Ally's relationship is so confused at this point that trying to label the love between them is kind of messy -- he definitely had stronger feelings for Sable, but it's hardly like Alabaster is just a place his rocks off, yknow? His seemingly close relationship to Cerise and Whitney make it a little weirder, too.

I reckon at this point Amber is more battle buddies with Ally than anything. Kay seems chummy but definitely not anything approaching love. Things with Renee and Vivian are more ambiguous, imo. And then there's Smatters, our one true love
>>
>>3794890
I think it's more about letting down the walls and showing true vulnerability. With Whitney, Ally never really lets down his walls with her. In the beginning, it was because he really didn't trust her to not make impulsive decisions. Since then she has matured a hell of a lot and that impulsiveness has been tempered, but still Ally hasn't really dropped those walls with her. Ally's (and we as the players) first instinct is usually "talk to Rose".
It's a similar situation with Cerise, though I think that's because as OP said that relationship is very dependent and unhealthy. Both Ally and Cerise need the other to be a rock for them, so neither can fully drop their walls around the other. Just look at what happened when Cerise was a vegetable; we didn't see a ton of it but Ally became cold and distant, taking his pain out on Gal.
Then you have Rose, where walls simply cannot exist even if either of them wanted them to be because they pretty much always know what the other is thinking.

The awful truth that the global world order doesn't want you to WAKE UP to is that he's just barely 5'11" to begin with, and depending on the day and who's doing the measuring, they might read only 5'10". 5'10".5 is probably a more accurate measure.

I don't know why the height got accidentally left off, I'll add it back into the Google sheet next time I a get a chance.

You can really tell that things are being planned again more fully/carefully. Season 3 felt like there wasn’t anyone conducting the train at times.

OP showed off on Twitter how he was using his whiteboard and post it notes to map out the season. Those apparently make a big difference. He used them in season 2 but not 3.

At the end of it all I would love to see what post it notes made it and what ones didn’t.
>>
>>3795626
S3 was held back by often feeling directionless and being weighed down by fun but ultimately unimportant filler that obliterated the pacing of the main plot until like the last 4 episodes.
S4 has had zero of the same issues so far and I think that having Ally and Amber share the role of protagonist is a brilliant way of allowing the plot to progress in multiple areas without Ally always having to be there.

>I think that having Ally and Amber share the role of protagonist is a brilliant way of allowing the plot to progress in multiple areas without Ally always having to be there.

You can see me laying the groundwork for this at the end of the season 3 finale, where the action starts following Amber, and (oddly, as someone noticed at the time) doesn't revert to referring to Alabaster as "you" when she meets back up with him. I had the concept to make Amber the deuteragonist of season 4 around S3E12 or so. Part of my initial concept was to keep the POV pulled back to third person during any scene Alabaster and Amber share... but I scrapped that, with sexy results.

The scene where Armstrong and Nelson sucker punch Dalton then drag him into a van with Vivian, Saul and Amber was written immediately after the finale finished, like as soon as I hit post on the final scene, I was moving straight to the premiere. I loved the way I built that scene as soon as I hit on the idea: poking at the reader's natural assumption that the "you" in that scene is Alabaster, until they slowly realize... hey, that's not how Alabaster talks... wait, "random teenage girl"? "Amber is a friend"? -- realizing that we have a new "you" was a great way to kick the season off in high gear.

As we got closer to August, I began to second guess it. I wondered whether it would be positively received, and whether it would divide my focus too much to keep the progress moving forward. Even on the night of the premiere I was very close to putting Alabaster in that van rather than Amber, and never letting the deuteragonist structure see the light of day. The only thing that held me back was not having enough time to revert since so much had been prepared already with split POVs in mind... the entire structure of episode 1 hinged on Amber in the US, and Ally in China (I assumed you would take him to China, anyway).

I'm really glad I stuck it out because I think it's been the single biggest benefit to pacing for this season. Rather than dilute the focus, I think it keeps the important things always at the fore, as you're alluding to.

So if the vote had gone otherwise, would Amber have gone to China? That'd be...interesting.
>>
>>3796121

No. I would have had to improvise some way to cover the action in China without Alabaster being there. It wouldn't have been impactful to get it as exposition, though, so I'm glad the vote went the way it did!

>>
>>3796109
I was not excited with this change during episode 1 because it felt like Amber had no "voice". Every scene was described in the plainest of ways and such and her personality was almost non-existent except for like one scene and I just wanted to go back to Alabaster. But that problem pretty much went away and Amber feels much more like Amber now. There's also no problem with divided focus either as it only really switches to her when something important is happening on her side as opposed to just for the sake of it

Also reading the lewds from her POV and her developing addiction to Alabaster's dick is super hot, so that's a big plus
>>
>>3796199
>>3796215
>>3796218
>>3796225

You're right the situations are different. Alabaster and Rose are married, have mutually confessed their love to one another, to themselves, and to pretty much to everyone around them. There's not much left to interpret on how they feel about each other, it's been directly said by the characters themselves.

The nuances of these relationships are still fun, though, and even in the discussion last night I saw new angles to Rose, Cerise, and Whitney that I hadn't fully considered. My personal interpretation is not the end of all discussion, for any character.

On the topic of Alex, though. He and Alabaster have a tormented and broken relationship. Where it will ultimately land is still in doubt.

I did answer this question to some extent at the end of season 3, though, so I am fine to reiterate it here: that I believe (and again, this is my own interpretation) Alex has always tried to act in Alabaster's interests. I don't think he ever consciously prioritized Sable above Alabaster, or took any action that he thought would put Alabaster in risk. Quite on the contrary, he wanted to work with Sable in large part to free Alabaster of needing to depend on DBA server uptime to stay alive. And also consider that refusing Sable's initial scheme, an act of defiance Alex would never have even contemplated in the past, was to make sure Alabaster and all the others he cared about stayed safe.

That is not an apology for or absolution of the choices he made, but I hope this sheds some light on where his heart lies. It's impossible to realistically argue that Alex doesn't care about Alabaster, and deeply so. But Alex has lost absolutely everything, and you may argue it's all because of his own choices (I won't stake a position), and now he is living in the ninth circle of hell for it. If Alabaster ever meets him again, it isn't going to be some easygoing thing.

>>
>>3796256
Alex's entire character arc could be summed up as "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". At the end of the day as long as we were sided with Camilla I don't think there was any way for Ally to draw Alex away from Sable and her work. I can't say this in and of itself was either a bad decision nor an unexpected one, but it drove a permanent wedge between them. That despite their mutual affections (in Alex's case I'd argue pretty damn deep affections, he did bludgeon a man to death with a baseball bat for us) for one another their goals have never really aligned beyond both wanting to kill Mara.

As for whether or not Alex is a victim of his own bad decision making, I would say that his attempts to be an edgy manipulator did nothing but bite him in the ass, and that's on him and him alone. But that's also the keyword; alone. Ally has had the advantage of having a large network of family, friends, and allies to help him out and support him. Alex only had Sable, who was about as far from 'reliable' as one could get and now he doesn't even have her either.

Maybe if the two of them just trusted each other just a little more this could have been avoided entirely, but I don't know if that was ever possible.

All of the DLC fighters have been pretty whatever for me because they're not from franchises I've been super connected to. Joker was the closest to really exciting me although I've never played Persona 5

If the leaks are to be believed, the last season 1 character is Ryu Hayabasa which would be pretty cool too, maybe my favorite selection of the bunch.

I also see why these franchises were selected for representation. And I think they've been implemented really well thus far, and I always love to see the roster continue its upward expansion into absurd proportions.

I got the last "never-ever" character I wanted with Ridley anyway, so anything after him is just a bonus. I was there all the way back in the days of Japan Time on /v/ pining for his inclusion in Brawl. Suffering the slings and arrows of "TOO BIG." Arguing vehemently that he was basically the same size as Samus in the NES game. Pointing out that Metroid needs a different rep.

In other words... I did my waiting! 12 years of it! In shitpost threads! Nothing else will ever compare to the thrill of vindication. K Rool making it as well was the perfect coda to it for me, too.

Now there is maybe one character left with an outside, albeit minuscule but nonzero chance, whose addition would put me over the moon. A certain shrine magical maiden.

I don't think there was any way things were every going to be easygoing right away between them after what happened at the end of last season, though. I think at this point Ally is probably mature enough to tell Alex how he really feels -- and not be a cunt about it -- but things will probably still take some time for poor Alex. And at this point, just keeping him safe is the thing that really matters...
>>
>>3796634
I would prefer Marisa as well, but I don't think she'd ever make it. Certainly not before Raymoo, and thinking there would be two reps is stretching the already thin credulity of thinking 2hu would ever get any representation. She'd probably be a Mii outfit if Reimu got in.

Honestly I've heard so many people talking about it over the past few months that it's gone from "no way in Former Hell" to "I guess maybe it's technically possible." I was already pretty ecstatic about a lot of SSBU inclusions, but Reimu would definitely take the cake on anything that could ever get in I think. Even a mii fighter a la sans would be pretty neat. And think of the Touhou medley they'd have to include! Plus, does that mean ZUN would get to go to Sakurai's house and beat him at Smash?/spoiler]

To be fair, Alex also had people who were willing to support him but he chose to go with the just him and Sable route of his own volition. That said, yeah, it's still pretty tragic overall

its interesting to consider Alex and Sable from both in character and meta perspectives.

Without going into a lot of detail because i havent got enough time a lot of Sabel and Alex's predicaments are ultimately the fault of us the readers.

up until the start of season 4 noone in the cast had agency except Alabaster. his, and therefore our, handling of information controlled the actions of the rest of the cast within the confines of their personalities. Of course thats a very "meta" viewpoint.

But moreover, we had the opportunities to alter those personalities even if the full ramifications of our choices were not always clear.

Even now there are people who would ratger blame Sable for supposedly ruining alex than recognize that the entire situation was to greater or lesser extent avoidable.

No one wants to take the bait then? Okay, here comes the spoon! Alabaster's blood type of AB is impossible with a type O mother. It is the only discrepancy out of all of the blood types. All 3 of Scarlett's daughters fit, but not her "son"... Renee's blood type fits, as does Charlotte's. I knew that biology minor would be worth something.

This desu ne, but canonically from S1, this is the result of some freak accident on the part of the universe iirc. It was the reason only Rose could donate blood to him to save his life.
>>
>>3796718
Expanding on it further, both Amber and Rose 2 would need a type B or type AB father. So Alabaster could've fucked his notmom to produce them.

But is his real mom Charlotte or Renee? Wasn't Rose1 a year behind him in school or am I losing it? So that's maybe feasible. And the prospect of him being Whitney's twin and thus also Darkbloom spawn would be all sorts of hilarious. I should add, AB is the rarest blood type and yet both Darkbloom, Alabaster have it. Rose1, Gal (!), and Charlotte do too though... well done, OP. Even if this was a typo it's still very interesting.

I am surprised it took this long for the blood type controversy to come up in the reboot. There was a HUGE shitstorm over it in season 1 during the first ever iteration of the chart.

The truth is that I looked at Japanese blood type horoscopes to make my picks. While I did research whether Alabaster's would be possible with Mom's being O, I decided to roll with it anyway, reasoning to myself that it hinted at Alabaster being his own father and therefore a genetic aberration regardless. I had no clue it would stir the controversy it did.

When making the chart in the reboot, I again considered this issue. I had no plans to ever canonize Alabaster's self-fathering, so I was curious to see if it made people freak out again that he has an impossible blood type. It took a while, but it happened.

You're right that the gameplay is a lot better than P3 and P4's but again Persona's gameplay has always been tertiary to it's narrative. That's what sets it apart from other SMT games.

I've considered this line of though as well, and it's why I'm personally more forgiving towards characters in general when they do things that make the audience upset.

Part of the problem is with the SL system in general. I think P3 has the best narrative because it's the only one that lets it's cast develop over the course of the story rather than forcing all of their character development into optional content and have their behavior in the main plot be boiled down to a couple of uninteresting character traits that never reflect the development in the SL's because they can't.
P4 gets away with it a little bit compared to P5 in my eyes because 1) the character traits that are emphasized in the main story aren't nearly as overpowering compared to P5's (Chie and Yukiko are the exceptions to this) and 2) the party's SLs were simply better written. The main story also handles the party better in general, just compare how P4 introduced Naoto long before she became a party member while P5 only lets you see an occasional glimpse of Haru before she joins the party and then the game suddenly pretends like she's a core member of the Phantom Thieves even though she joined right before the end of the game.

Radar chart anon here again with more science.

Who is the most dangerous character of the harem? #1 will shock you!

Criteria:
>Weapon proficiency
Ability to use any deadly weapon, primarily guns but others like knives taken into account too. Based on demonstrated skills but if there is nothing to go on, I made educated guesses (example, Charlotte is probably good with guns)

>Melee/athletic ability
How well can they handle in a fight? How well can they keep up if they have to run, climb etc?

>Support skills
What other specialized skills/knowledge can they leverage to hurt their enemies? From hacking to getaway driving to less tangible stuff like info gathering and managing people

>Courage
Will they buckle in the face of imminent danger?

>Strategic capacity
Can they plan ten moves ahead or go rushing in?

>Willingness to kill
Self explanatory. Any character who has killed someone is at least a 7. Everyone else is guesswork based on what we know.

MOTHERFUCK I THINK I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

Stasi, before we so rudely interrupted her projected lifespan, was at one point allied with both Mara and Camelia (through Tyrus) for unspecified reasons, before Tyrus's big double cross. However, it can easily be presumed that she was working towards her own ends as well. But the point here is that she WAS aligned with Camelia even briefly at some point in time.

Camelia killed David Darkbloom in Washington DC and then, apparently, "died" (as far as the world was concerned). She inexplicably appeared in Palo Alto mere hours later to give Stackleford her implant. There was no way she was able to transport herself in the condition she was in, meaning somebody else had to have done it.

David Darkbloom's body didn't turn up until months later - at least, according to Stasi, when she turned an implant in to Mara and claimed the body was to be burned.

I can't think of a single viable motive, but the possibility certainly exists, and the very thought of it fills me with worry:

What if Vivian really DOESN'T have Diegesis installed? What if Diegesis is sitting in a safe somewhere in Gilroy, California, behind a picture of George W. Bush?

What if the lines were crossed and Vivian was, instead, fitted with Catachresis, unbeknownst to both herself and her mother?

Love the passion, not sure I agree on the science. I will allow however that Kay is underappreciated as a force in the story. She's definitely a cunning, resourceful and capable woman. A very dangerous person to have against you, and a very useful person to have with you.

Many of the biggest advancements in the story could only have happened with her work in the background... she's been quietly one of the absolute most important characters. And she's preyed on the chaos around her to vault herself from no-name blogger to multimillionaire Pulitzer recipient and permanently embedded biographer at DBA, which you gotta respect.

>>3797431
You've done a quite good job keeping the details of a convoluted timeline straight, but some slight corrections.

>Stasi, before we so rudely interrupted her projected lifespan, was at one point allied with both Mara and Camelia (through Tyrus) for unspecified reasons, before Tyrus's big double cross.

This isn't quite right. In season 2, Tyrus was aligned with the Russians through Mara and the Palo Alto Club for Growth. Camelia approached Tyrus and convinced him to sign on for helping blow up DBA. This pitted Tyrus against the Russians because at the time, Mara was trying to control the company. When Tyrus crossed Mara, Mara brought Stasi in to help against his gang.

>Camelia killed David Darkbloom in Washington DC and then, apparently, "died" (as far as the world was concerned). She inexplicably appeared in Palo Alto mere hours later to give Stackleford her implant.

Camelia murdered David Darkbloom in the early afternoon hours of June 1, 2018 (Pacific Time). Per the flashback from S4E2, she approaches Stackleford in Palo Alto sometime around dawn on June 2, 2018.

>David Darkbloom's body didn't turn up until months later - at least, according to Stasi

I was never clear on when precisely Stasi recovered David's body. The implant procedure performed upon Vivian happened September 2, 2018, three months after David's death. But there was work in the background that needed to be done for this to happen... a continued ultimately futile search for Camelia's body, deciding what to do with only one implant at hand, hatching the plan to put the implant in Vivian, arranging to have Konstantin Federov come stateside... I picture there may have been multiple weeks interceding the discovery of David's corpse and the surgery on Vivian -- or it could have all happened within a much narrower time window. It's ambiguous.

Whitney has her own place.

The Darkbloom manor remained in Mara's possession. As a joint marital asset, one imagines that the legal status of the house after David's death was a bit sticky. Whitney wouldn't have wanted to live in it, and since she also wanted to get close to Vivian (who did live there), she wouldn't have evicted the Darkblooms. I would say she sold David's half of the equity back to Mara or settled it as part of the legal battle around David's will that was largely glossed over (since we can assume David made the will fairly ironclad and that Whitney got pretty much all of the inheritance)

We were still willing to work together with her. And this is despite the fact she never had any chance of taking the schematics or anything from Darkbloom.

Alex picked Sable over us despite finding out she knew we'd been a labrat. I don't hold it against him but moving unwired bombs into a clearly unethical corrupt tech company is at least comparable to siding with people who experiment on kids.

Sable never had any viable solution to get the implants away from Darkbloom. If she had a chance, we may have sided with her.
>>
>>3799214
We did all we could short of forcing them at gun point to leave. We pulled the alarm so everybody would get out of there and refused to go through with it when they didn't. The Russians threatened Alex so we went with them to keep him safe and compromised the entire plan just so they wouldn't hurt them. Alabaster wasn't masterminding this, he was being caught in something way bigger, the Russians capturing them was not how things were anticipated to go so we stopped our mission and went inside ourselves to save them and actually almost died for the people who were directly helping David. While Alex's plan would have only befitted from telling us and put our lives in danger when he had no way of knowing if he could actually save us or not. He just decided it was going to be him and Sable against the world when things would worked much better if he was open about it from the start. And wouldn't you know it, to the surprise of nobody, it failed horribly
>>
>>3799439
I’m not talking about when the Russians held them hostage. Mara and her brother threatened to kill Alex days before that in like episode 11 or so. Alabaster had over a week between that point and when the Russians followed through on their threats, to warn Alex, and he didn’t.
>>
>>3799529
And that's why we made the plan so that he wouldn't have to worry about them in the first place. I personally would've told him but I can also understand why someone wouldn't, that's some bug shit to drop on somebody. I'd classify it more under Alabaster being careless than an intentional breach of trust. Alex's situation was completely different
>>
>>3799558
I’d sure like to know how you would feel about someone you trusted having a moment of carelessness that involves failing to warn you of threats against your life.

But of course Alabaster was acting in Alex’s interests right? But who cares. With all of Alabaster’s best intentions, it ended with Alex getting kidnapped and forced to bludgeon a man to death.

You can blame Alex for that too but the fault also lies with Alabaster, Alabaster took actions that led to that situation directly and he could have averted it, or done more to tell Alex the true stakes. He blatantly and needlessly put Alex at risk by keeping him out of the loop. That’s why Alex was still there when the Russians rolled up.

Alex also had Alabaster’s interests in mind in season 3. You can’t accept that as an excuse even though you do with Alabaster.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Both men fucked up and put the other in life threatening danger. Both deserve harsh judgment and both are right to be distrustful.
>>
>>3799582
Absolute false equivalence. What would Alabaster telling Alex have changed? Alex wouldn't be able to stop the Russians and both he and Sable made it pretty clear that they weren't going to stop no matter the danger. The whole plan was to keep them safe and shit went bad, while Alex's plan was retarded from the get-go and things would have changed if he told Alabaster, how is it his fault if Alex acts like a retard? We both know for a fact that if Alabaster went to warn him, he would think he was lying to stop him like with every attempt he made to talk to him before. Alex killed a man because HE didn't try to get out to safety like everybody else and Alabaster went in there and risked his life to get him out even though he was working with the enemy and it could've fucked the entire plan over

Any time Sable gets brought up I remember a short story called The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.

Is the suffering, even the abject and total misery and torture, of one person worth it if the result is a better world for everyone else?

Sable's answer is, was, and always would be a resounding yes. To her the fact that Alabaster was subjected to inhumane experiments was irrelevant in the face of the potential transformation Sand Reckoner could bring. Even moreso since he himself had profitted from the ordeal.

The experiment lead in a direct line of cause and effect from Alabaster being an absolute noone to one of the most important people on the planet with wealth and a harem to match.

Alabaster refusing to help her was in her eyes tantamount to betraying the infinite potential of all future generations as well as her own deeply held dreams and ambitions. As for her success or failure, Alabaster helped kill the most powerful man on the planet, he could have helped Sable achieve her goals.

Camelia on the other hand would burn Omelas to the ground and eat their fucking horses, then salt the ashes.
>>
>>3802751
of course the core of anon's grudge with alex and sable has nothing to do with Sable's personality or plans.

No, the real reason is only alluded to infrequently. When Alabaster asked Alex to leave he chose to stay with Sable.

For some Anons -anything- that rivals Alabaster as the central focus for a haremite is a source of vile betrayal. If Kay values her career enough to drive a hard bargain, shes being a bitch. If Alex chooses the woman he loves over the man he also loves then both of them must be demonized.

true, but Sable herself wasnt committing atrocities. The damage had already been done. She was merely not giving a damn about spilled milk in comparison to the cure for cancer written on the note that was under the bottle. Further, when that idealistic future turned dystopian she fought with all she had against Mara and sacrificed her life so Alex could live.

>>3803802
your right, I shouldnt have attributed those reasons to every anon. But it is willfully ignorant to say that those reasons dont play a visible undercurrent to the players reactions.

Everything from the constant bogeyman of NTR, the very real backlash against Kay, the distrust leveled at Alex, the outright hatered of Sable even after shes dead, theres even more examples i dont properly remember.

Anons identify with Alabaster, even if we might be more accurately portrayed as a Stackleford. And anons really do get pissed when anything or anyone challenges Alabaster's primacy with a haremite. Im not saying thats the be all end all of Anon, but it has a definite presence.

As for Alex, there are only three sources of misfortune in a quest, bad decisions, QM fiat, and logical consequences of the setting that cannot be avoided.

Fuck quest isnt grimdark (yet). And while OP plays his cards close to his vest, hes still a straight shooter.

The entire point was that everything she did do should not just be dismissed because she thought it was for the best. She deserves full blame for her actions

>Schizophrenia: The post
It really isn't as you say at all and your claim is dismissing the issue entirely. All of what you say have like 1, maybe, 2 people who actually cared about it. If you read season 3, it should be obvious that almost everybody trusted Alex until we straight up heard his plan from his own mouth and then pointed out how retarded it was. It wasn't just "Anons are just getting mad cause he didn't choose us back in season 2 and all they care about is primal dominance!" like you say and to make a claim like this is to stay willfully ignorant of the issues at hand. Same applies to Sable and Kay never really got that much backlash

Something fun I was playing around with at work. I downloaded a couple lists of the most commonly used words in English to compare against the full text of Fuck Quest, all four seasons as of now.

Among the most commonly used words in English that do not appear in FQ, and which surprised me: January, significant, reported, requirements, whichever, gradual, reduce.

There are many more!

The very most common English word that does not appear in FQ depends on the list you're looking at. According to the Oxford English Corpus, it's "director" (#301 most common). According to the General Service List, it's "govern" (#173 most common). I do specifically remember drafting a scene with the word "govern" that got edited to say something different, oddly enough. After that on the GSL is "unite" (#214).

Of course, there are words that commonly appear in Fuck Quest which are not within the top 1-2k most common words of English.

Setting aside names of characters, the most common word in Fuck Quest which does not appear in either list of common words is -- unsurprisingly -- "fuck." This is the 88th most common word in all of Fuck Quest, go figure. "Mom" is next at #97, although I consider that a character name.

After that is "cum" (#128), "oh" (#131), "cock" (#148), "pussy" (#162), "cunt" (#174), and some more obscenities...

Of words not appearing in either list, the most common non-obscene word in Fuck Quest which is not a character name or interjection, is "grabs" (or "grab") -- #392 most common in FQ.

And because I know you want to know, the #421 most common word in Fuck Quest is "walk" -- make of that what you will.

We're gonna get fucked! In the bad way! Or we find out that we have been already! I'm still convinced leaving the Darkbloom sisters behind and in charge of everything with nobody to reign them in was a terrible idea, and Isstein's death is likely directly tied to that.

Putting Darkbloom into Dalton, not even a choice. It's the thing that instantly sold me on this season and the fact that it was our idea makes it that much better

Honestly don't know. Probably Cerise trying to run for Congress? But that doesn't sound too interesting. Maybe Armstrong will coach her in a politics, he IS the best senator after all

Here's something funny to think about:
Alabaster arguably only got as far as he did in Quiz Bowl because of his Camelia implant, whereas Rose kept pace with him through sheer hard work and perseverance.

Carte face going "Oh" is a miracle of the universe.

>>3808053

I'm glad to see some diversity in answers here! For me personally as I already said, it's gotta be the oyakodon scene as well, but basically tied with the scenes I've done between Amber and Rose2, especially when they share that dildo for practice. It's ridiculously dirty and depraved in a way I love! I also really liked afterwards, Amber admiring herself in the mirror.

My favorite non-lewd moments are too numerous to name, I've really enjoyed writing this season. I think one of the things in general I'm happy to have improved, is how characters are coming to the fore in big ways. It feels like more of a team effort. The way the season begins with Armstrong, Nelson, and Saul being just part of the plan already, and actively helping, set the tone. Then there's Fazil playing his part, and Darkbloom himself of course, and certain haremites getting their moments also (Charlotte, Kay, Noelle etc)

I of course could not possibly put out predictions for episode 4.

The full election cycle must be followed including political party nominating processes, primary elections and a general election, all held in the congressional district involved.

Whitney's bros with the president, she can pull some strings and make it happen
>>
December 21, 2018

Whitney, being carried around on a chair by a bunch of employees, bottle of champagne in her hand sloshing its contents across the floor as they tote her around, is drunk, and slurs the lyrics: "Oh, the fire outside is fitful-- but the weather inside's delitful--" The chair yaws forward. Whitney's eyes bulge and she gasps at the sudden forward momentum. She windmills her arms wildly, trying to find purchase, but there's nothing to hold onto. She somehow steadies herself, though, and the people under her get the chair level again. Triumphant, she throws her head back, takes a gulp of her drink, and croons: "since we've got no place to goooo-- let it snow, let it snow, let it snoooow~"

She sings this song, despite the fact that playing over the radio right now is "Jingle Bell Rock."

Everyone cheers for her.

Ebeneezer Scrooge she isn't -- the raucous scene in this cafeteria is on account of the absolutely massive Christmas bonus she just doled out, 10% of every employee's annual salary. With over 500 employees at the main branch, pulling a median salary of $200,000... well, do the math. It's an extravagance that everyone around her, you included, argued she couldn't afford. But she insisted that it was a necessary boon to keep people from leaving the battered company. And maybe she was on to something. You haven't seen the workers here at Darkbloom Analytics smiling like this since... well, since ever.

You, though -- Ebeneezer Scrooge you are. Bah humbug, fiddlesticks and hogwash. You hate parties and you especially hate Christmas parties, the tinsel, the chintzy music, strategically placed mistletoe and compulsory yuletide cheer. You cast your eyes about the room in search of someone to share in your misery. Rose, you know, also hates Christmas; but you see that she's busy vomiting into a potted fern in the corner, having gotten suitably sloshed herself. Armstrong and Nelson, who were the most vehement after Mara in insisting that DBA could not possibly afford the bonuses, now lock arms and launch into a joint (and jointly off-tune) rendition of Deck the Halls. 10% looks pretty good to them, too, after all. Fazil, having apparently jumped feet-first into apostasy, helps Dr. Carte set a tree topper on the giant tree in the center of the cafeteria.

Kay. She has to be against Christmas on principle, right? You try to find her. But what horror. She's at the buffet table, eating a big old bowl of cranberry sauce, sipping a glass of sweet wine, and she's deep in conversation with Stackleford. Awful. Tyrus is playing dreidel with Noelle, and it looks like they're playing for keeps; Saul and Charlotte make out under some of that strategically placed mistletoe; Spancer is mechanically doling out small wrapped boxes from a sack over his shoulder, Santa hat and fake beard and all.
>>
Vivian... surely, of all the people at Darkbloom Analytics, surely Vivian is having a shitty time. She loves having a shitty time. She constructed her entire personality around having a shitty time. But no. Tonight, Vivian is feeding carrots to the reindeer that Whitney hired a zoo trainer to bring in for everyone. The two have developed a rapport it seems; and the beast nuzzles Vivian lovingly, allowing her to scritch it on its head between the antlers.

Everyone here is having fun. You hate it.

If Cerise were here, you think, she would be miserable just like you. You could be miserable together. Then you'd be having a good time.

Whitney stumbles past, at the head of a conga line, wearing an elf hat. Her employees sway and sashay behind her. She glances your way. "Ally! Do me a flavor!"

She's congaing past already, and you make no attempt to keep pace with her. You simply remain on the room's periphery, standing around, moping. She's out of range before you hear what her, uh, "flavor" is.

Whitney isn't so easily defeated, however. She snakes the line back around now, among laughter and drunken tripping. As she congas the other way, her head swiveling to its limits to keep her eyes glues to you as she passes, she calls: "Assmunch! I want you to go-- guys, stop-- GUYS, really, hold on-- Ally! I need you to go--"

Your eyes track her out of earshot, but none of the rest of your body follows suit. The line of revelers passes a second time. Cha cha cha.

On her third return, Whitney is livid. "You fucking bitch, Ally! Will you listen to me! Go find Alex! That ungrateful little twinkie pie is worse than you! He didn't even show up!"

She's out of range once more, and the procession disappears into the throng of non-conga celebrants. You figure she'll find her way past you at some point again. Meanwhile, you just keep hanging out. And in the interim, the music takes an agonizing descent from hell's eighth circle ("Jingle Bell Rock"), directly into hell's ninth circle ("Wonderful Christmastime").

"Why aren't you gone yet!!" Whitney howls on her way back around, when she notices you. Still kicking her legs in tune with the music, though, what a party trooper.

You shrug. "Where is he?"

"Where do you think! Probably down in his fucking basement! I'm handing out free bonuses like I'm a Gameshark and he can't be bothered to take a five minute break to party! It's reindeershit!"

You shake your head. Sometimes you wonder how Whitney stays so goddamn Whitney all the time.

She gave you a task, though, and it's as good an excuse as any to excuse yourself. Out the cafeteria, down the hall, into the elevators -- only then do your ears get respite from the dulcet tones of Paul McCartney's Moog synthesizer.

Do you ever stop and think about how along with many other things, Fuck Quest is a story about Donald Trump (Alabaster) and Hillary Clinton (Rose) falling madly, deeply in love with each other?

Honestly, this is really the story of someone (Alabaster) who has both Trump (Whitney) and Hillary (Rose) in his own personal harem together.

Theoretically, he could still fall down an 87-story building with a katana through his chest. Hell, the new Cyber-Dalton could even still be responsible!

Question for science experts:

Is Kaasan/Rose an Oyakodon now?
>>
>>3814901
Not blood related, doesn't count.
>>
>>3814901
>>3814904
Wait, hold on. Technically blood-related. But not in the way that qualifies for an oyakodon. In-laws =/= oyakodon. It is still technically incest though.
>>
>>3814907
What is their relation? I know Alabaster and Charlotte are 1st cousins (nonremoved) but how about Rose and Kaasan?

Mom is Charlotte's aunt even though they're close in age. Since Rose is Charlotte's daughter, that makes Mom Rose's great-aunt.

This is not very sexy so I don't draw attention to it.
>>
>>3814901
It'd be incest but not true Oyakodon. The chicken did not lay the egg, so to speak

Exactly. Anytime the word "grand" enters into the equation is a mood killer. I prefer my incest to be a maximum of one generation removed.

Thanks for enjoying it, everyone!

I have a confession to make, though.

I am not one person, but actually a collective of data scientists. Fuck Quest has never been primarily a story, but rather our exhaustively rigorous scientific search for the highest possible concentration of sexiness in one English phrase.

With "Getting pregnant in my bunny pussy!" we have found the global maximum, and thus, Fuck Quest is now over.

Thank you for reading.

Nahhh. But that would be pretty bad, huh?

I'm gonna set up a room in about 30 minutes with the password 421.

If you're not on my friends list, feel free to shoot me your code, or if you don't want it public, you can slide into my Twitter DMs.

It won't be too serious, probably gonna keep items and such on, FFA.

as fantastic as those images are, i couldnt help a slight reeee at both vivian and charlotte apparently wearing their panties below the garter belt. while i can definitely see this being a thing in FQ universe, nobody in their right mind would actually wear them like that, practicality is zero. getting them off would be a hassle. or make a mess. which may or may not be intentional...
