Last time, you put an end to your crusade to gain fame for Odetta’s informant group “Xi Psi Pi” as you finished all the requests she made you do from her website. At least you believe that’s it.

In those, you helped a young boxer get a new supposedly legendary coach who you needed to reignite his passion. You dealt with a mischievous ghost (not Odetta) that was terrorizing a temple and the dancers for a ceremony. And became one of the judges for a cooking duel between rivaling restaurants.

In between those you visited some old friends at the old Flux, learned more about Odetta’s past, received information about Aleister from one of your clients, and had terrible talk with Ichie.

After coming back from the last mission, Catastrovania revealed that the Operation Stygian Counter Act is ready to go underway any day you see fit and what it entails. In short, you’re going to infiltrate 17th Office in Laoling disguised as janitors to recover the Reid family from their captors. Catastrovania, her spy network, and Odetta figured out the layout of the office, everyone’s schedule inside, and the location of the hostages – so it shouldn’t be difficult.

Problem is you can’t do this on the weekend, making Catastrovania a big fat liar. So, you have one day to kill, unless you feel like doing it another day. You’re the boss, it’s your decision.

Right now, after eating dinner, your team is all tired and demanding of rest. Usually at this point Odetta would tell you how good you did, but she’s still resting. You told everyone to be patient so you can figure out what to do now.

You have a whole free day tomorrow so there is no need to rush things, but there are a couple of things that worry you that can be resolved right now…

Do you send your team to sleep right now or not?

>Yes, they need rest and so do you. Whatever is troubling you, it can be resolved tomorrow.
>No, you’ll use all the free time you have left to resolve minor issues.

What’s the plan? (Regardless if you do it right now or later)

>Your chat with Bruce was left unfinished, you should resume it.
>Ask Catastrovania more details about the Operation.
>Okay, you’ll check Siske’s letter… Maggie has the pieces, right?
>Check on Odetta, she never took a long nap before and yesterday she was more tired than today. It’s too strange.
>Torture yourself by arranging that meeting with Ichie. Earn her trust to learn more about Aleister.
>Tomorrow is going to be the final super training day. You need to prepare for what’s to come.
>Write In.

It is better if you resolve your doubts about the operation right now, you want to know all the nooks and crannies of what this plan entails. So you tell everyone you need more information before going to bed. Catastrovania begrudgingly accepts to expose her plans, and goes for her laptop. Neither Bruce or Ascended Maggie mind staying up for this.

Catastrovania clears her throat and begins her long winded explanation…

On a macro level, the plan is to infiltrate the 17th Office in Laoling at 7:00 AM, take the Reid family in less than 2 hours and leave. You have more time than that, but it’s better to keep things tight in Catastrovania’s opinion.

The 17th Office is the tallest building in Laoling, 14 stories tall, with 3 underground floors. The whole building is controlled by the Min-Hu Alliance, but they pretend to be a tourist office.

You’ll come in as a group of Janitors from the Laoling Cleaning Company. Bruce managed to find the place where they sell their uniforms, and already rented a van for your escape.

Your cover is that all the previous employees quit, and you’re replacing them for the day and the office was already notified. The fake message has been already handcrafted by Catastrovania, and if they want to call the company Odetta will preemptively cut their cords before the mission goes underway.

You’re going to have to play your role for a little while, since the mafia guys will keep their eyes on you but they get bored quickly. Inside the janitor’s room on the 3rd floor you should get the master key for the whole place and a laundry cart to hide people inside.

In the meantime, Odetta is going to deal with the surveillance cameras by sabotaging their security room on the 2nd Floor. Once she does, you’ll have to get to the 5th Floor quickly and retrieve the key for the Reids’ cell inside a fake conference room. It should be on the wall. Then you’ll use the elevator to get down to the 3rd floor underground, the Reids should be locked in there with two guards on watch. Dispose of them, put the Reids in the cart and then escape! That’s it!

Just because you asked, Catastrovania showed you the complete layout of the office. The Min-Hu’s boss office is on the 14th Floor, and there is a secret treasure room on the 2nd Underground level.

“Brilliant, isn’t it?” Catastrovania is proud of the plan she concocted.

How do you respond?

>“It’s decent.” You’re going to do this anyway.
>“Good job, Cat.” Pat her head.
>“What do you mean by disposing of them…?” That sounds like a fatal flaw.

“What do you mean by disposing of them…?” You found the fatal flaw.

“It’s all up to your own abilities, assistant. I taught you well, now it’s time for you to apply the knowledge you acquired!” Catastrovania has big plans for you.

“So you have no idea what to do?” You retort.

“Of course, I do! I foresaw it all with my CATRASTROPHIC EYE of DESTRUCTION, you did a splendid job, but if I spoil it, it could go awry in this timeline.” Catastrovania makes another one of her terrible excuses.

“S-So we’ll have t-to find a way t-there…” Bruce doesn’t like this plan already.

“If we all work together, I’m sure we’ll find a way to do this peacefully.” Ascended Maggie is being way too kind.

“T-That’s wishful thinking…” Catastrovania didn’t see that in her reading.

“I’ll be fine with not being found out, that’s all.” You put the expectations low.

“Maybe w-we can distract them somehow…” Bruce proposes.

“We have only one chance! Don’t do anything risky!” Catastrovania has a point.

“…The hell’s in the treasure room?” You look at the map again.

“Multiple interesting items…” Catastrovania grins. “You’ll have to ask Odetta about that, I only know there is a safe with big money in it. And some paintings. And some shows. And a random bucket.”

“…A bucket? The bucket?” You found it!

“Y-You mean…” Bruce realized it.

“The stolen bucket? Huh, I never pieced those things together.” Catastrovania is stupid. “Odetta just found it odd since it was on a table like it was important.”

“…” You have no words.

“W-We’re not going out of way for the bucket, a-are we…?” Ascended Maggie sounded like regular scaredy-cat Maggie…

It’s getting late…

What now?

>Add ‘recovering the bucket’ to the to-do list.
>Tell your findings to the Bucket rescue group.
>Ask Odetta if that bucket is THE bucket.

“We’re adding recovering the bucket to the to-do list.” You announce.

“Are you really risking your life for a bucket…?” Catastrovania is not amused.

“We went to war for it once, we can do it again.” You’re going to make your ancestors proud.

“I-I s-suppose w-we can divide our efforts.” Bruce is not against the idea. His family would be proud of him.

“Tsk, tsk, now I need to find a way to get in there as well.” Catastrovania pretends to be bothered.

“You threw the idea out there to get us to check it out anyway.” You can tell.

“Odetta didn’t want to investigate it because there was no reason to… But now, fufufufu…” Catastrovania was just pretending to be bothered.

“S-So we were tricked…” Bruce doesn’t seem to mind though.

Guided, you mean.” Catastrovania retorts.

“I think that seals it…” Ascended Maggie wants to protest but her ascendedness doesn’t let her bother anyone here.

“Well, we’ll do this if that’s our bucket, we still need to confirm it with Odetta.” You don’t want to jump the gun and get everyone in trouble.

“Isn’t s-she sleeping?” Bruce remembers her disappearing after you got here.

“We’ll wake her up then.” Maggie wants to have one less worry before going to sleep.

You all went to the girls’ room where Odetta is lying on her bed, unmoving. Maggie very gently caresses her head but to no response. You gently push her shoulder after, but nothing happens either. Bruce shakes her but still nothing. And Catastrovania throws some water on her face and, yet again, nothing…

“I think she’s dead.” Catastrovania is no medic. Odetta is still breathing.

“M-Maybe she left her body…? Y-You know the ghost stuff...” Bruce deduces.

“So she’s in a coma?” Maggie wonders as she soaks the water from Odetta’s face with a towel.

“She did say it was like sleeping.” You remember from one of your earlier chats but…

Why is she gone?

What do you do?

>Let her rest until morning. If she’s not back then, you’ll panic properly.
>Tell Catastrovania to use her abilities to summon Odetta.
>Use your phone and use your ability to capture ghosts instead.

“We’ll let her rest until morning. Perhaps she’s busy with something.” You think this is the best decision. “We should do what we did yesterday and have everyone sleep in the living room again so we can keep an eye on her. Besides, her futon is soaked for some reason...” You glare at Cat, who instantly looks away.

“Yes, I would gladly sleep with you again, Allie.” Ascended Maggie loves the idea.

“P-Please rephrase that.” Catastrovania gets embarrassed.

“L-Let’s move t-the furniture around again…” Bruce makes the wise decision to ignore what Maggie said.

“I’ll bring Odetta…” You grab the corpse and ignore Maggie as well.

And so, you prepare the living room for another discount slumber party with Odetta all tucked in the middle like a giant malnourished baby. You all are surrounding her, you are by her right, and Maggie by her left. Odetta is the wall dividing the boys and the girls. You can tell everyone is at least concerned about the ghost’s whereabouts.

It took you awhile to fall asleep, you had the little hope Odetta would arrive before you dozed off, but it just didn’t happen…



[DAY 22/SUNDAY]

You feel someone struggling around, pushing you with their body just a little.

W-What the hell is this…?” It’s Odetta! The girl angrily says between her teeth since she’s inside her cloth cocoon and cannot escape.

It’s almost 5 AM…

What do you do?

>“Calm down, I’ll take those off of you.” Tell Odetta to keep it down, the others are sleeping.
>“Hey everyone, Odetta is back.” Wake everyone and give them the good news.

“Calm down and go to sleep.” You reprimand the caterpillar with a soft voice.

“J-Just get these off me!” Odetta is getting angrier.

“Later, you need to rest. Keep your voice down, it’s too early in the morning.” You don’t want her to wake up everyone.

“I’ll lower my voice, now free me…!” Odetta whispers as she is somehow managing to get closer to the kitchen by just flailing around.

“I won’t free you, you need rest. I’m responsible for your wellbeing.” You get closer to Odetta on the sly.

“Why would I want to rest anymore?! I slept all night!” Odetta is really wanting to cross the line of what a whisper is.

“Take care of your own body.” You carry the caterpillar in your arms. “I can swing you if that helps.”

“Fuck off!” Odetta wants to be free at all costs.

“We need you well rested for the mission.”

“I don’t need it, I’m using my astral projection to help!” Odetta keeps complaining.

“So did Cat know about the master key you got?” You wonder.

“Agh, that thing? I made a mistake; it was a master key for all of their special locks, it’s confusing as hell…” Odetta remembers. “W-Wait, my mind went off! Just help me out, will ya?!”

“No.”

“I-I just need to write something down…!” Odetta is so desperate she is willing to compromise.

“What is it?” You’ll indulge her.

“An address!”

“Fine.” You take your phone out and write what Odetta just said. She weighs so little; you can probably carry her with one finger. “There.”

“I’m really not tired.” Odetta sounds honest.

“I really don’t care.” You retort.

“You’re the worst.” Odetta doesn’t like you anymore.

“I know.” You say.

Even if you think this was noisy enough to wake up everyone, no one did. You take Odetta down and put her in her original spot.

“Goodnight.” You keep an eye on Odetta.

“No.” Odetta imitated you.

You glare at the ghost.

“You don’t scare me, fisherman.” Odetta won’t do it.

Just shut up!” Bruce got angry, then he dozed off.

“D-Did Brucey just tell me off…?” Odetta is shocked.

“He loves his sleep.” You shrug.

“What a jerk...” Odetta has given up. “Are you going to stay awake until I go to sleep?”

“Yes.” You respond.

“He won’t be the only one if this keeps going…” Catastrovania throws some shade while sounding all tired.

“Fiiiiiiine, I’ll sleep…” Odetta gives up.

“Good.” You think you can trust her. “Good night everybody.”

You forgot to ask about the bucket… You’ll ask her as soon as you can.

It’s morning properly, you need to do your daily routine, but after that… it’s a free day. You’ll set up that meeting with Ichie, but should you go right away?

What are you planning to do now?

Since it’s Sunday and it was a hard week for everyone, you decided not to do your daily exercises with everyone. Instead, the only part of the routine that will remain intact will be Odetta’s treatment. They deserve to have a long rest anyway after your little scene during the night.

As you prepare to go out, you text Ichie about meeting up today, she immediately responds that she’s available any time you see fit

After a light jog around the park, you come back to your apartment to a huge surprise. Everyone is eating a decently looking breakfast, and it was prepared by none other than Ascended Maggie. There is a plate ready for you…

“Welcome back, Allie! I hope you’re hungry!” Ascended Maggie is wearing your apron to cook.

“It’s surprisingly decent.” Catastrovania gives her review.

“S-She’s right, I t-thought I would throw u-up since Maggie made it but it’s good, haha.” Bruce agrees.

“Still boring though…” Odetta doesn’t like a balanced diet.

“You rascals say the darndest things! Tee-hee!” Ascended Maggie sounded like regular Maggie again for a second. You already ate food from Maggie, and you recall it being better than expected.

“Well then…” You take a seat and promptly eat the food.

“H-How was it?” Ascended Maggie is worried about your opinion.

“Acceptable.” You don’t have much to say. Maggie looks a little more relaxed. “Odetta, time for your treatment.”

“Fine…” Odetta has never said a word against it unlike with everything else. She knows it’s important.

You take Odetta to the girls’ room and do her treatment. After you’re done, it’s time to ask the hard-hitting questions.

“By the way, the bucket you saw in the treasure room in 17th Office is the town’s bucket, correct?” You wonder.

“The hell do I know? I’ve never seen that stupid bucket before.” Odetta didn’t like that question. You’ll excuse Odetta’s ignorance about the bucket’s importance this time.

“Here.” You show her a photo of the legendary bucket. “So?”

“That’s just a regular ass bucket.” Odetta didn’t find it helpful.

“But is it the same one you saw in there, yes or no?” You want your answers.

“How am I supposed to know? I didn’t analyze what kind of bucket it was like some kind of weirdo.” Odetta shakes her head.

“Was it made out of wood?” You ask the important questions.

“I don’t remember… Maybe?” Odetta doesn’t understand the importance of your town’s treasure.

You glare at her.

“You don’t want me to go over there just to check that…?” Odetta asks in disbelief.

You keep glaring at her.

“Alfred, you’re making me rethink if this friendship was worth pursuing.” Odetta doesn’t like you one bit anymore.

“I would compensate you if you did.”

“I have no interest in what you can offer, bartender.” Odetta denies your request.
>>
>>4546303

“Please.”

“…Later, then.” Odetta yawns. You knew she needed extra rest.

“That reminds me, what happened yesterday? What is the address for?” You pull out your phone.

“Hmm? You curious, country boy?” Odetta giggles. “I went around to visit old clients, debtors if you will, that’s the address of one of those cheeky bastards. That’s all! I’m rebuilding my empire, now that everyone knows I’m back in business, I need to remind some people about what happens when you try to cheat me out of what’s rightfully mine.” Odetta winks.

This sounds like something Odetta would do, but…

What do you do?

“So this one address, who’s this?” You wonder.

“That’s the only naughty one who didn’t want to pay.” Odetta smiles from ear to ear like she always does. “That debtor didn’t even look surprised I was still alive. Now I’m coming up with ways to ensure that person regrets ever crossing paths with me.” Odetta sounds angry here, like actually angry.

“I see. Everyone needs to earn their pay.” You retort.

“That’s exactly it, dear Alfred.” Odetta likes what she’s hearing.

“But what kind of person is this fella?” You noticed she didn’t want to describe that ruffian at all.

“Alfred, this person is not important in the grand scheme of things, some thug you don’t have to care about. Why waste our time on such an insignificant individual?” Odetta makes a good point.

“You’re right, but if this person was merely a random individual, you wouldn’t have made a ruckus to write down his address. In fact, I don’t think it would’ve been an issue for you to track him down again.” You point out.

“That’s true, but Alfred, I’m really really petty.” Odetta is one good liar.

“I’m not going to push the issue any longer, but if you need any help, I’ll be glad to lend a hand.” You’re friends after all. “I consider myself a member of your group still, and I don’t appreciate people who don’t pay.”

“You’re so kind, but you have better things to do than indulging me. Isn’t your own revenge the most important thing you care about?” Odetta tries to dodge the issue.

“Yes, the only thing I want to do with my life is to have my revenge.” You look up. “But it’s not like I value my own life all that much.”

“W-What do you mean…?” Odetta is concerned.

“Nothing.” You walk away. “I’ll let you be.”

“Take care, country boy.” Odetta didn’t know what to say.

You’re back at the living room. Ascended Maggie is cleaning up the place...

What do you do now?

Next on the list is to have a counseling session with Ichie, a decision you’re already regretting, but there is no turning back. You text her that you’re available now, she immediately responds that she's happy you’re about to do this and that it will be an honor to receive you inside one humble little restaurant she’s fond of. You have the address now.

You announce your parting to go to said meeting to the team, they looked concerned to say the least, they didn’t even know you were planning to do this – and now they start to panic properly once they realize how wrong this could go. You give them a little more context to appease their worries and it works. Bruce still offers to be around in the rental car in case you need a quick escape, you decline since you don’t want to put anyone in danger. Catastrovania says she’ll be on the lookout for any distress calls, so you’ll need to call her in case of danger or something.

Before leaving, Ascended Maggie hands you a lunch box with homemade food in it and kisses you on the cheek for good luck. Both Bruce and Catastrovania feared the worst for a second, but you decided that it’s not the time to talk about this so you thanked her and left. You took the rental car towards your destination, and left it in a parking lot nearby…

The Red Pearl is in no way considered small or humble for a restaurant in any fashion or form. It’s the biggest and fanciest place to eat you’ve ever seen and you’re just outside of it, you can’t imagine how it is inside. Without knowing the etiquette of this kind of place you decide to go inside without any second thoughts.

At the reception, one of the waiters asks you for your name, once you tell them, they guide you to the 3rd floor where Ichie should be in a VIP table. Props to them for not looking down on you for the way you’re dressed or anything of the like.

The place is as fancy as you imagine it to be, almost like a movie set, there are few people here – it’s too early for lunch still. But what really caught your eyes is the few number of tables, they are so far apart from each other, you don’t think people from one table to another can hear each other all that much. You imagine that this is the type of place where those annoying bells to call the waiters are useful.

And there she is, by the table next to the window, Ichie waves at you to come over. Without knowing the etiquette again, you just walk at the same speed that the waiter that has been guiding you uses to get there. Ichie finds that funny. There are a couple of guys acting like bodyguards next to her, one older guy who seems familiar…

“Alfred Brown, welcome! I’m glad you have decided to participate in this counseling session! It’s more of an honor for me than it is to you to be here!” Ichie is beyond overjoyed.

“Mhm.” You don’t know how to respond to that.

“Before we begin, I know you aren’t accustomed to splendid cuisine like this restaurant prepares, a life without knowing such gifts is so inspiring, but unfair! So I have these treats prepared for you!” Ichie announces as her pair of butlers take off the mantle of the table to reveal some fancy food. “Feel free to eat as much as you want! It’s all on me!”

How generous…

How do you respond?

“I brought my own lunchbox.” You show it to her from your backpack.

“A lunchbox? At a restaurant…?” Ichie looks confused. “Oh! I understand! Your situation is more dire than I anticipated, how cruel of me for putting you through this! You knew you couldn’t afford to pay for your own meal, so instead of borrowing money from me, hurting your pride in the process, you decided to bring your own food! I’ve so much to learn, but your actions have taught me so much today.”

“Huh, okay…?” You will let Ichie revel in her fantasy.

“I should’ve notified you about my intentions, I merely wanted to witness your expression of joy when I revealed the food you never imagined you could taste. I apologize for my lack of empathy!” Ichie nods to herself.

“No offense taken...” You lie.

“Well then, put that lunchbox aside and keep it safe for later, I know you will need it knowing how society mistreats people like you! Now enjoy this feast!” Ichie tries to grab your lunchbox away, but you hold it tight.

“It’s fine. I prefer it if I keep it.” You don’t want her hands on it.

“You don’t need to struggle anymore, you deserve this!” Ichie doesn’t want to let go either.

“I said I’m fine, I’m not hungry anyway…” You won’t let go.

“Rejecting this once in a lifetime opportunity because you feel like you don’t deserve it? I’m in awe, Alfred, I don’t have the adjectives to describe such nobility! I wish we met sooner!” Ichie is touched by your lack of interest, and then finally releases her claws from your stuff.

You put the lunchbox back into your backpack just in case she tries to steal from the poor again. Now Ichie asks his butlers to take the food and pack it for you, so you can take it later. You didn’t ask for this, but if this gets things going – you won’t complain.

“Feel free to take these with you!” Ichie shows the packets with the best of intentions.

“No.” You believe you should be more direct with her.

“You shouldn’t turn down a present, you are in dire need of help, there is nothing to be ashamed of.” Ichie reprimands you because she knows better.

“I don’t care.”

“Perhaps it embarrasses you if I witness it! Oh! What’s this? One of my butlers has something to tell me and I need to turn around to hear it?” Ichie acts so terribly to turn around while one of the butlers gets closer to indulge her. “Mhm, I think whatever you’re telling me will last 5 more seconds!”

“…” You do nothing.

“1… 2… A-ha!” Ichie turns around before the 5 second limit to witness the scene as she left it before. “You didn’t take them...” She seems disappointed.

“It’s because I don’t want them.”

“What an admirable man…” Ichie is on the verge of tears.

How do you respond?

“Ichie… the counseling…” You remind her what you’re here for.

“Yes, my apologies! I’m nervous myself, this is the first time I have done this, but I’m sure it won’t be the last thanks to the events that transpired yesterday!” Ichie is talking in riddles.

“What happened?” You aren’t that curious, but this is where she’s leading the conversation towards.

“Aren’t you aware that the despicable Cult of Chernobog is no more? It’s all over the news today! As the heir of the Saionji Family I’m always up to date with the latest bits of news that affect our beautiful country! It was dismantled thanks to the admirable efforts of our own police and the N.U. forces, their leader was captured and there are talks about making his case public through national television!” Ichie explains all excitedly. A lot has happened while you were busy doing all of this, huh? You should read a newspaper one of these times…

“I see.” You nod. “What happened to their base here then?”

“I believe the recruits here weren’t aware of what was happening in their main base, so the Hamje police made quick work on them.” Ichie explains. So in the end, Bruce and Lorena would've been in trouble if they didn’t leave the cult in time. “That rotten cult, they took advantage of vulnerable men who society abandoned, who lost all hope in life, who didn’t have anywhere to go… they fed them lies, they strip them of all sense of self, then leave them as husks who are fed false hope, so they can manipulate them to their bidding. There is real hope out there, we can change society, we can make it better, we can make it fair… That’s why I’ll never forgive them! I’m glad they are gone! Justice will prevail.”

“Okay.” You didn’t ask for a speech, but here you are.

“And that’s why this counseling is so important, Alfred. If I succeed with you, it means I can help all of these men reach their true potential! I can give them their pride back! Vender’s methods are efficient to men and women alike, but when I see those men he worked on, I know they lost their spark. I know they aren’t their true self…” Ichie turns to the butlers. You don’t like what this means. “But if this works on you, a man Vender says it is impossible to help, it means I can save you all…!” Ichie’s eyes are sparkling.

“Uhm…” You have identified where the exit is.

“That fiery glare, that unbreakable pride and the honesty you have… I swear I’ll keep them! Now let’s begin with the first lesson of the day!” Ichie asks for one of the butlers to bring her stuff…

You don’t like where this is going at all.

What do you do?

>“It appears I have to go to the bathroom.” Then escape from there.
>“You were supposed to teach me how to deal with Aleister, not brainwash me.” Be honest.
>“Let’s go then…” There is no such thing as brainwashing. You’ll stay and withstand this lame lesson.

“You were supposed to teach me how to deal with Aleister, not brainwash me.” You’re concerned and bothered by her attitude.

“Brainwashing? What a gross term! I said I’m not interested in Vender’s methods. I’m here to educate you, it’s conceptually different! I’m not remotely interested in turning your manly rebellious essence into an empty innocuous husk that can be slaved.” Ichie goes on. “I believe this is one of society’s biggest mistakes, they reform men ignoring all their wonderful qualities because they don’t understand them. But I’m here to help you! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn.”

“…Ichie, I’m going to leave if you don’t stop acting this stupid.” You are tired of her drivel.

“Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to take advantage of your short patience! It’s my inexperience showing! I can feel your kindness through your harsh honesty, I know some people confuse your directness with hostility! But not me!” Ichie can’t keep herself from yapping. “I know how important this is for you and—”

“Ichie…” You scold her…

“I understand!” Ichie tries to keep control of the situation. One of her butlers starts building a compacted whiteboard next to the rich girl; while the other hands her a bag, she takes a multi-colored marker and some papers from it. “Before we begin our lesson properly, I want to let you know that I reserved this whole floor just for us, the clientele should be leaving once they are finished with their food since they were already here before I alerted the staff. So, feel free to say whatever comes to your mind, I’m prepared for anything and we’re in privacy!”

“…” You look at the two butlers… “Understood.”

“Great! You’re doing so great right now! I’m proud of you.” Ichie nods to herself. “We’re here to learn how to talk to my good friend Aleister, and the first lesson of the day is Understanding!” Ichie writes it on the whiteboard. “Aleister is sympathetically aware of other people’s feelings; which means he can sense the emotions coming from those around him, he’s so sensitive that these emotions greatly affect him. So if you’re angry, he’s angry; if you’re happy, he’s happy! Hooray! And so on. Now, I imagine your encounters with him were heavily emotionally charged on your part, so we need to learn how to suppress those feelings.”

“I see.” So Aleister is like a wild animal…

“Now, I’ll show you how! So as an example, feel free to insult me in any way you see fit.” Ichie is ready.

“You’re unlikeable and I know you don’t have any friends.” You deadpan.

“Such raw honesty…” Ichie covers her face with one hand. “…Is delightful! Thank you for you’re cooperation in this exercise, as you can see your words did not have an effect on me.” Ichie shows herself with the same smile as before.

“But—”

“To keep your composure, you need to deconstruct the insults you receive and rationalize their meaning and purpose. In this example, the action of insulting is to provoke a negative reaction from me, understanding that makes you realize these words don’t hold any merit, therefore it’s only up to me to if I gave these words gravitas. In this deconstruction, you said that I’m unlikeable, something I know is not true as I am told by many of my peers that I’m empathetic. Your other statement, that I don’t have any friends, is untrue as well as you know very well Aleister is a good friend of mine!” Ichie interrupts to continue her lesson.

“Ichie, I saw you cover your own face just to not show that you were afflicted.” You assume so, anyway.

“Alfred, don’t be silly! I just did it to create tension to make my reveal more impactful.” Ichie denies your accusation. “Now to proceed, I would like to ask you a couple of questions so I know how to provoke you! Are you ready?”

Ichie grabs one of her papers…

How do you respond?

“Ichie, I’ve never seen Aleister around and I bet you can’t name another friend you have. The truth is, you’re just unlikeable.” You go deeper with your insult to catch her off guard.

“S-Such uncouth straightforwardness, Alfred…!” Ichie does the same thing as last time, but since she wasn’t expecting to be insulted, you could see it on her face – you could see her unapologetic excitement… She’s still hiding her face.

“Am I wrong, Ichie?” You retort.

“Of course, you are in this instance! But it’s not your fault that you place doubts in me, you were raised this way! Aleister and I are good friends, the fact we can remain apart for so long and our bond stays unwavering shows it!” Ichie responds with a quivering voice. “It’s my own shortcomings that don’t allow me to be by his side, I’m not worthy of the title of the heir of the Saionji family yet, I have so much to learn! I just can’t withstand his greatness for too long! His impatience for unfaltering pursuit of justice! His immovable and senseless code of pride! His heroic uncalled ruthlessness towards those who break the law! His manly and tasteless sense of fashion! His headstrong decision making! His crassness makes him the perfect man, beyond anyone’s comprehension!”

“So you’re just acquaintances…” You think Ichie spent more time insulting Aleister than anything… It made this speech far more tolerable in hindsight.

“I feel pity for you, Alfred! You have never experienced what true friendship is like. After being manipulated by Duchemin and Catastro-something for so long… But it’s not too late! I’ll show you what true happiness is like.” Ichie smiles normally after being hidden for so long.

“So what other friends do you have? Don’t tell me you think Vender is your friend.”

“We have a fairly amicable but professional relationship with that man. Vender is far too immature and ignorant for my liking.” Ichie is kind of cruel towards Vender. That’s a surprise.

“No other friends then.”

“Would you like to officially be my friend, Alfred?” Ichie offers with a wonderful smile.

How do you respond?

>“No, I just told you, you’re just way too unlikeable. We’re just acquaintances.” Turn her down.
>“Sure. But you need to start working on that terrible personality you have.” You can stand a lot of unlikeable people, but she takes the cake.

“Sure. But you need to start working on that terrible personality you have.” You can endure Maggie and Catastrovania together for long periods of time, but Ichie is on another level.

“To accept with such ease despite all the resentment you have accumulated towards people of my status after being ostracized by society for so long… Alfred, I’m so glad I can call you my friend. Now to make it official, I’ll add you to my favorite contacts.” Ichie pulls her phone out and starts messing with it. “My dear friend Alfred, can I call you Al? Aleister doesn’t like being called Al, in his opinion it sounds too close to the word Pal and he severely dislikes the letter P, that was going to be lesson 3; so you’ll be the only one in my promising life with such a homely nickname.”

“Ichie, did you even hear what I said…?” You question. You do find this little trivia about your nemesis valuable, you’ll use it in your favor.

“I did, my friend Al. I’m very well aware that men of your social status insult each other as a bonding method! Sharing a sense of humor builds comradery.” Your friend didn’t take you seriously. “Obviously, if you really find my personality detestable, you wouldn’t have agreed on becoming mutuals! Hee-hee! The more I think about it, the funnier it gets!”

“I’m serious.” You retort.

“Hysterical, indeed! You have a knack for comedy, my friend Al!” Ichie lives in denial. “Oh, before we continue with the questions, should we commemorate this moment with a picture? Let’s cherish this moment forever!” Ichie takes her phone out again.

How do you respond?

>“Sure…” Do it reluctantly.
>“Ichie, I only decided to become your friend out of pity.” You’re barely into it.
>“If you don’t seriously address your shortcomings, I’m going to leave.” You won’t waste your time anymore.

Ichie already added us to her "favorite contacts" (where every single person she has added is there and her regular "contacts" list is utterly empty, because "Everybody's my favorite, and leaving anybody out would be unfair and denigrating to those poor individuals!", and EVEN TYPING THAT OUT MAKES ME FEEL SICK HOLY SHIT FUCK THIS BITCH CHARACTER). The proof should die with us, but she's made that difficult. When (not if) we murder her via some good old fashioned ultraviolence, we should take her phone and delete ourselves from her contacts first thing.

“Can we move on with the lesson already?” You have indulged her for far too long.

“I’m overjoyed by your interest in learning, but I must insist! This is a fantastic method to treasure the memories we’re creating together!” Ichie starts fiddling with her phone again.

“Then let me do it.” You pull your phone and take a pic of Ichie in quick fashion. Her phone hides her face in it.

“Al! Do not take unsolicited pictures of people! You always need to make your intentions clear first.” Ichie reprimands you. “Besides, I want a picture together, not on my own!” Ichie runs at lighting speed to stand next to you.

“I’ll take it.” You stand up and take it in a millisecond. “There.”

“Thank you, Al, for going along with my request.” Ichie smiles. “Could please send me the picture? I wish to frame it!”

“No.” You put your phone away despite Ichie’s bewilderment. “Perhaps at the end of the session I will.”

“Ooh! How interesting! It’s like a reward!” Ichie loves the idea. “This reminds me of lesson 4: never take pictures of Aleister, less so with a flashlight! Individuals who often do this tamper with these pictures to get back at him. He only accepts being photographed by professionals with high quality equipment, and you don’t possess the skills or the income for either! Also, strong lights irritate him. But I shouldn’t skip the lesson we are at since it’s the most important one!”

“He’s a sensitive guy…” You were right, Aleister is like a wild animal, one you need to put down.

“Isn’t he wonderful?” Ichie nods to herself. Then goes back to her chair. “Shall we continue?”

“Please.”

“Like I said before, I would like to ask you a couple of questions so I know how to provoke you.” Ichie clears her throat as she grabs the paper she left on the table. “Question number one! Why did your insensitive mother abandon such a wonderful son like you by taking her own life?”



How do you respond?

>“This is the most insensitive question I’ve ever received in my entire life.” And you know Maggie.

“She lost her will to live after an incident while she was working at the police before I was even born. She was haunted by it every single day of her life after. She couldn’t move past it and took her own life. She lasted as long as she did because she loved my father and I, she always said as much. That’s why.” You’re honest with her.

“I feel so sorry for you, my friend Al. She put you through an undeserved emotional burden that still affects you till this day, emotionally stunted you for years. She never gave you the true love of a mother, you truly deserved better.” Ichie looks sad for you. “I believe as the years go by, the love I can give you as a friend can somehow heal those wounds you have. I believe in you.”

“Right.” You won’t fall for her provocations.

“This is the day your life turns around, my friend Al!” Ichie wants to give you hope in the worst way imaginable.

“Yeah, yeah… Next question.” You want to move on.

“Why do you think you had this massive inferiority complex towards Aleister before you decided to admirably turn the page?” Ichie asks the next question. “I’m glad you are not envious of him anymore.”

“Ichie, what are you talking about? He destroyed my store…” You remind her of what actually happened.

“Yes, that’s true. But there are plenty of reasons to believe that it was more than a payback for the store you lost, like you starting your quest for pointless revenge after the 4th accident and you not accepting my business proposal to rebuild it for example, so it’s something deeper.” Ichie describes her reasoning. “I believe your envy is the source of your anger. It’s only natural for someone in your position to feel this way towards a man like Aleister. He’s stronger, more physically imposing, more handsome and likable than you. He has a higher social status, more wealth, and he will be far more successful in life than anyone in your position can aspire to. That breeds resentment, but that’s not the answer, my friend Al! And you know it deep down in your heart that’s the reason why you are here. Society has damned you to be in this position so you don’t have to be angry anymore. The store was a mere excuse anyway; and if it wasn’t, you still have more reasons to be envious.”

“Oh, do I?” You’ll keep humoring her without being affected.

“From my understanding, your store was barely successful enough to stay afloat, losing an uphill battle to the ones in Price Family’s possession! Yours can’t even compare.” Ichie sentences.

“Explain.”

“I’ve made a mistake; you don’t appear to know! My apologies!” Ichie sincerely apologizes, as sincerely as she can anyway. “I thought you already knew that the Price family are the owners of the Super Foods Franchise!

No. I had no idea. How hilarious. Ha. Ha. Ha.” You pretend that this is fine with the best of your abilities.

“M-My friend Al, are you feeling well? You have tensed up, your voice sounds stiff and I can feel your aggravation. Was my explanation the source of your discomfort?” Ichie is concerned.

“I choked on my own spit.” You lie.

“I know you’ve been taught from childhood to hide all your weaknesses, but there is no need anymore! We’re friends, Al!” Ichie wants to help you, like it or not. “Remember, we’re still working on this lesson! If you don’t tell me what’s wrong, this whole exercise is futile. I want two of my friends to make up!”

“Let’s move on.”

“My friend Al, we were doing so well…” Ichie refuses to continue.

One thing you’re going to admit, she’s taking this seriously in her own twisted way.

“It’s not going to happen again, don’t worry. It took me by surprise.” You’re not going to falter next time.

“Do you regret it?” Ichie asks once again. She wants to make sure that you’re remorseful.

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“Your commitment to improvement is so inspiring! My dear friend Al, your humbleness is one on a level that I aspire to be on, you fight against your very nature and multiple shortcomings to stand by your principles. You’re simply amazing.” Ichie has a smile from ear to ear.

“Thanks, I suppose.” You just want to continue.

“This little exchange brings to mind Lesson 5: Don’t ever apologize to Aleister! Aleister hates apologies from men, he expects people like you to receive a physical punishment for every transgression you do in his presence. He usually punches you in the face.” Ichie really makes him sound like a monster.

“Is he different to girls?”

“Yes, he expects them to grovel and beg for forgiveness. If you don’t, he grabs your hair and makes you do it. I’ve never experienced it if you’re worried about me like a good friend would.” Ichie pretends this is normal. So Maggie’s experience lines up with this.

“Does he have any level of restraint?”

“Like a true man, he doesn’t! When passion runs through your body, you just can’t stop it. Isn’t it incredible?” Ichie is quite the mental gymnast when it comes to Aleister. “Oh, how foolish of me! We were still doing the questions…”

“Yeah, let’s move on.” You’re just happy if you don’t have to hear any more ‘compliments’ towards that imbecile.

“The final question, my dear friend Al: Why did you let human scum like Margaret Duchemin manipulate you to do her bidding? And when are you planning to remove her from your life?” Ichie couldn’t hide her anger with that question…

What a bad teacher.

How do you respond?

>“You got it wrong. Maggie is my bitch.” Deadpan.

“She never manipulated me, she doesn’t have the brains for it. We’re just friends and I’m not planning to remove her from my life.” You won’t betray a friend no matter what. Yes, even if it’s Maggie, or Cat… or Odetta… or anyone you have met these last few weeks. Huh, you have terrible friends.

“I double checked on her, and you were wrong, she was the one who spread rumors about Aleister! I knew even back then you wouldn’t lie to me, the only explanation is that she dastardly tricked you to believe her lies. Can’t you see that she’s manipulating you?” Ichie brings what she thinks is a fair point.

“Did Vender convince you again that Maggie is an evil, dirty girl?” You retort.

“N-No, I did another investigation on my own and found out Duchemin is not the type of woman you think she is! She’s conniving and vindictive, all hidden under a layer of obliviousness and laziness to catch people off guard. I wouldn’t lie to you, you’re my dear friend! I want the best for you!” Ichie is desperate.

“No, what Maggie has are moments of brilliance, and I’m being really generous with my wording. I’m not lying to you either, Ichie.” You say back.

“Oh no, Alfred… Don’t tell me you fell in love with Duchemin?! You’re so precious! But you need to snap out of it!” Ichie looks horrified!

How do you respond?

I mean it checks out. Aleister abuses Maggie in front of the school where as Ichie gets nothing from him. To masochist mind of hers Maggie is an evil seductress.

“I’ll dial her number. Talk to her, then tell me if you think she’s evil or not.” You propose as you bring your phone out. “How does that sound?”

“I’ll reveal to you what kind of person Margaret Duchemin really is!” Ichie accepts the challenge. She’s quite prideful.

And so, you call Ascended Maggie and let her know what’s about to happen. Still in her angelic state, Maggie accepts without a hitch, she’s going to demonstrate that she is as stupid as you think she is. Before you handed over the phone, you told her that you’re letting her use your phone because you trust her and hope she doesn’t do anything weird. Ichie promises she’s only going to use it to talk.

After several minutes of talking, the call is done and Ichie hands you back the little machine…

“I humbly apologize, it appears Margaret Duchemin is an okay individual… I guess.” Ichie looks mad that she couldn’t prove that Maggie is anything more than a bumbling dummy.

“You don’t need to apologize to me, do it to Maggie.” You retort. You’re going to compensate Maggie somehow when you return home.

“Your word was the one I doubted, not hers.” Ichie won’t just do it.

“You smeared her name though.” You object.

“E-Enough! Let’s continue with our lesson!” Ichie escapes like a coward from the topic. “After all the questions are done, it’s time for you to practice how to control your emotions. Let’s begin…”

“All right.” You’re ready.

“Ehem…” Ichie clears her throat. “……………………………………….”

“You there?”

“Y-Yes…” Ichie looks conflicted.

“What’s wrong?” You tilt your head.

“I apologize yet again, but my dear friend Al, the truth is... I cannot insult you.” Ichie confesses.

“Why? There is plenty of material.” You deadpan.

“I know! But it doesn’t sit well with me knowing how many hardships you’ve suffered through your life! Yet that’s not everything, I believe you’re wonderful as it is! You have been so patient! So thoughtful! So understanding! So humble with a person you should resent! You don’t deserve to be abused in any way or fashion. All I can think are nice things about you, I can’t badmouth my dear friend, Al!” Ichie hides her face in shame. “Pardon me… I’m far too inexperienced… Too incompetent… Too unprepared. I can’t go on with this lesson! I can’t help you!”

“But Ichie, we’re doing this so I can apologize to Aleister…” You remind her.

Here…” Ichie with one hand remaining on her face, hands you the other a piece of paper. It has Aleister’s address in Laoling. “I believe your kindness can get through to Aleister…”

How do you respond?

“Thanks, I guess…” You won’t hide your disappointment.

“Your words carry so much dissatisfaction, they pierce through my wounded heart! Please ignore my suffering and go on with your wonderful life, my disappointed friend Al!” Ichie’s head drops on the table…

“Right.” You think you could leave. One of the butlers gets closer to Ichie, the old man… He looks familiar. Wasn’t he on the tape of the leader of the Min-Hu? You never gave much thought about it since then, but you doubt that the bastard would be working with Ichie as her manservant. “Is she going to be okay?” You ask the butler. He just absentmindedly looks at you then back at Ichie without muttering one word.

“Ignore him, my friend Al! He’s incapable of saying a word anymore! It’s so tragic…” Ichie clarifies while having her face buried still.

“Explain.”

“I cannot! But I’m doing my darndest to help him recover! Please, just move on for now!” Ichie is sobbing while responding to your query.

You look at the old man one more time before leaving the restaurant… That left you with more questions than answers. Is this some kind of brainwashing similar to Vender’s? Can Vender really brainwash people?

As you step out of the gaudy place, you feel your phone vibrating, you pull it out…

“Al, you asshole! Never hand your phone to anyone! You almost gave me a heart attack!” It’s Odetta inside your phone. You didn’t notice that she came along… “If I wasn’t a professional, she would’ve found me out.”

“What are you doing here?” You question.

“You go into enemy territory and you expect me to sit at home doing nothing like I’m Cat or something?! Are you out of your mind?!” Odetta looks pissed. “I bet if I leave you alone for one minute, you’re going to lose your head.”

“So you were worried about me, that’s very kind of you.”

“What do you think REAL friends are for?” Odetta easily manages to sound less phony than Ichie.

That was quite the trouble for what it was worth, but at least you got what you wanted. You ate the lunchbox (it was good enough) in the car before returning to your apartment with a bittersweet victory in your lap. Back inside, you’re witnessing something unexpected…

“What’s going on…?” You’re lost for words. For some reason, Catastrovania and Ascended Maggie decided to dress Odetta as a knock off Catastrovania…

“Allie! You’ve returned earlier than we expected!” Ascended Maggie puts the final stocking on Odetta to finish the costume.

Fufufu, assistant, I present to you the new official uniform for all the members of my new LEGION of DARKNESS. Since Odetta left her body again without telling us, I decided to PUNISH her for her insubordination and make her our test subject! As a new recruit, I expect this minion to wear it with pride. I’m still working on the male version, so don’t get too excited, assistant.” Catastrovania reveals in ridiculous fashion. “Now help us out!”

“Don’t you think she looks adorable? I couldn’t contain myself, I had to seize the moment and join in.” Ascended Maggie is having too much fun with this.

“W-WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS?! You think I’m your puppet?! You’ll pay for this!” Odetta has returned to her body. “Do you two really wait for Al and Bruce to leave to pull this stuff off!?”

“Hey everyone, I couldn’t find cat ears but I think these will fit her…” Bruce opens the door to the apartment holding some dog ears, he stares at everyone for a second, realizes he’s in danger and then leaves.

“You were part of this too!? BRUCE, you coward! COME BACK!” Odetta is so embarrassed and angry. “YOU ALL ARE GOING TO PAY!” Odetta starts chasing Bruce off…

You didn’t even know when, but at some point Catastrovania disappeared. You’re left ALONE with Ascended Maggie. You ask her where Siske’s letter is so you can read it, Maggie hands you the letter pieced together with tape behind it. You sit on the couch and start reading it…


“Hello, Alfred.

If someone is reading this out loud for you against your will, I ask you to stop right now, this is a personal matter between me and Alfred.

I believe there is just a small chance you read this letter, and I can’t blame you if you don’t after all we’ve gone through. I know I’m the main one to blame for the animosity we feel towards each other, but for the longest time I put most of the blame on you because of the way you retaliate, and perhaps I still harbor some of those feelings. Ever since that incident, I believe I lost a part of me I wasn’t able to recover. I made my resentment clear so you know I’m being genuine and this isn’t easy for me.

I’ll go ahead to my request: Alfred, could you please forgive me for everything I’ve done to you?

I know I’ve been a naughty bitch in the past, but if you somehow decided to forgive me. Could you give me a call, please?

Sincerely,

Siske.”


Props to Ascended Maggie, she did a flawless job with the pieces.

Against your better judgment, you decided to give Siske a call and forgive her. If this is another one of her elaborate tricks, at least you’re mentally prepared to deal with it. If it’s not, well, you’re not sure how you’re going to react. Either way, you’re going to go to your room instead of waiting for Odetta to show up and ruin the mood. Ascended Maggie looks at you slightly concerned since you haven’t let her know what is going through your mind, and you prefer leaving her like this until all of this is said and done.

Time to call Siske…

“Hello? Who is this?” A dejected sounding Siske answers the phone.

“Hello there, Siske. It’s Alfred.” You reply without showing emotion.

“A-Allie…?” Siske sounds all surprised, and questions why she didn’t check her phone beforehand. “H-Hey there…”

“Hey.” You already said hi.

“T-The thing… d-did M-Maggie… y’k-know…?” Siske isn’t prepared for this.

“I read your letter.” It appears you have to take the lead of this conversation if you want it to go anywhere. You’re going to omit the fact that you tore it to pieces first.

“I-Is that so…?” Siske forgot about the implications of this call. Or she’s playing dumb.

“Yes.” You’re doing what you can to show you’re not struggling to say what you wanted to tell her.

“D-Did she—”

“No. Maggie didn’t force me.” You interrupt her to clarify immediately.

“I-In that case...” Siske’s words sound hopeful.

“Yes, Siske, I accept your apology.”

Agh… Nggh… Buaaaaah….” Siske is crying and failing miserably to hide it.

“You’re crying...” You state the obvious.

“N-No, I’m not…! *sniff*” Siske is as prideful as ever.

“Are you going to cry for the rest of the call? I guess I’ll hang up and let you sort your emotions out…” Enough bad experiences for the d—

“H-Hold on a second…! D-Don’t do it! P-Please don’t hang up! Sniff* Please don’t hang up! Please don’t hang up! Pleeeease! I-I can’t call you back, Allie! I don’t have any money on my phone! Please…!” Siske cleans her nose as she begs for mercy… You didn’t want to hear that.

“Fine.” You hate yourself anyway. “Why are you crying?”

“I-I told you I’m not crying…” Siske denies the truth as she’s trying to regain her composure. She fails spectacularly.

“I’m hanging up.”

“I-I admit! I admit! I’m crying like a big fat baby!” Siske really doesn’t want you to hang up. “I-I was just joking…!”

“Mhm.” You don’t sound convinced.

“T-The truth is I’m crying ‘cause of you…” Siske sounds embarrassed.

“I’m hanging up.”

ALLIE! NO! I’m telling the truth, I swear!” Siske is having a meltdown.

“Explain then.” You’ll indulge her.

“H-Hang on a sec…” Siske is starting to talk to someone there. “I-I’ll drop down the volume, sorry… I know there are more people here… it won’t happen again…” Siske tells whoever that other person is on the other side, then she resumes talking here. “You didn’t hang up… Thank you.” Siske sounds genuinely relieved.

“So why?”

“…B-Because you were the only one who accepted my apology.” Siske lowers her voice and almost sounded cute there, it doesn’t fit her. “After all we went through, Allie, I thought you were the only one I didn’t have any chance with. And since everyone else turned me down… I couldn’t help myself and got emotional…”

“Oh.” You feign surprise.

“Do you have some spare time? Could you listen to me for a little bit?” That’s the kindest way Siske has ever requested something from you, and it sounds so wrong.

How do you respond?

>“Sorry. I can’t hear you. I’m going through a tunnel.” Lie then hang up.
>“No, I’m busy. I expected my apology to suffice to make you feel better but I’m not emotionally invested in you in any shape or form. If you need any kind of support, call Maggie.” Be honest.

You sigh loudly… “Sure…” You already knew this day was going to be terrible, but you were still too naïve to know that it was going to be worse than that.

“My memory is real fuzzy about what happened that day, but after you left your shift, the owner of the bar, Calin, called the police and pressed charges against me for attempted robbery, assault and indecent behavior in public space.” Siske ignored your lack of enthusiasm. “I was arrested and thrown in a dirty cell inside the police station. The other cellmates made me the target of their mockery until they couldn’t stop laughing just because of the way I looked. I was too drunk to fend for myself; it ended up being a blessing in disguise since I lost most of my memories. You saw me at the bar, I bet you can imagine how all that went.”

“I suppose I can.” You won’t ever imagine it though, those painful memories will be kept hidden for the rest of your life.

“The next day, despite the massive headache I had, I remember clear as day the morning sun shining on my face, looking at my reflection in a mirror near the guards… And I have never hated a person’s face more than the one I saw at that moment… I couldn’t help myself from crying. I was wailing. I couldn’t stop even when the other women in the cells were screaming at me to shut up. Those insults are burned in my mind forever. I had a panic attack and was thrown into the infirmary.” Siske sounds in pain. “I begged to the world for another chance, but I ended up puking instead. Then my prayers were answered, a kid named Vender showed up and offered me a deal...”

“Mmm...” You don’t like this twist.

“He offered to bail me out if I accepted to stop being a naughty girl and become a proper lady under his tutelage. He says he’s always on the lookout for indecent girls like me that find themselves in these situations and that nothing brings him more joy than to help us out of our slutty ways. Of course, I accepted. I wasn’t legally bonded to do it, so I was planning to ditch him as soon as I could. I was planning on changing, but I wasn’t going to do it with his help.” Siske keeps going on and on. “Before you judge me, he was insanely creepy! He was staring at my breasts the whole time! I know I was wearing my cheap whore outfit, but he didn’t have any restraint. Also, he kept smacking my butt to give me orders, and worst of all he kept poking at my belly and saying stuff like ‘the fattest require the most amount of work, but end up being worth it.’ I knew him for like an hour just for you to know!”

“I believe you.” And it doesn’t surprise you.

“You do…?” Siske is taken aback by that. “A-Anyway, as soon as we left the station, he told me to reach my objective, I needed to apologize to everyone I once took advantage of or hurt, and they must accept my apology at any cost. It felt like the right thing to do, but I wasn’t doing it with him. So I told him off and left… But then… I decided to come back for some reason? I don’t remember why. Aside from the apologies I was making, everything felt like a dream… I remember having actual weird dreams in between, but who cares! I had to apologize on my own…” Siske starts telling you about every single instance of her tour:

First, Siske went back to the New Flux to apologize to Calin, but she was kicked out by Calin and Kae armed with brooms. No apology was accepted.

Second on the list was Lai Zhi (the owner of Chicken, Chicks & Cocks) for bailing out on a softcore film after being paid. Siske had to star in a new film by herself, but it was to save herself from legal ramifications. No apology was accepted and your life is worse because you know of the existence of this film.

Third on the list was a classmate of hers from college she kept taking advantage of to do her homework and tests. Siske had to do him a sexual favor for him to accept the apology, but once he saw how fat she got, he refused. No apology was accepted.

Fourth one was Ugolino. She tried to go to his home, but security kicked her out very quickly and with force. No apology was accepted.

Fifth on the list was Laetitia. After your incident at the OG Flux, they befriended each other and drank together all night, Siske ended up stealing some fancy wine bottles while she was asleep. Laetitia never noticed until Siske told her and she was furious. No apology was accepted.

Sixth was Camilo, after harassing him for no good reason, Camilo didn’t care about her at all and preferred if she went away. No apology was accepted.

Seventh on the list was Chloe Verninac, one of the dancers you met, for relentlessly bullying her because of her huge nose when they were children. Chloe said she will never forgive her because it destroyed her self-esteem for years. No apology was accepted.

Eighth on the list was Master Pete, your karate teacher, for destroying his relationship with her mother. Pete said he harbors a deep hatred for her voice, so anything she says or does doesn’t matter to him. No apology was accepted.

Ninth was Lingering Calamity, the pastry chef, she tried to apologize for calling her a disgusting deformed monster and stealing one of her children (a cake); Lin didn’t want anything back and told her she will have to live the rest of her life knowing she stole a child from her mother. No apology was accepted.

Tenth was Edmundo, better known as Silver Sun, she was the first person to make fun of him and his shenanigans and drew all the negative attention to it. Silver Sun says he has the only compensation he wanted, and it is to spread his ideals to the world. Forgiveness isn’t one of them. No apology was accepted.

Eleventh on the list was Jasper Ando, she dined and dashed at his restaurant once when she didn’t have that much money. He plainly didn’t recognize her and didn’t care. He did call her fatty though. No apology was accepted.

Twelfth was Brandy for trying to steal Ugolino from her, she wanted cash in compensation, Siske had no money. No apology was accepted.

Thirteenth was Sara Nguyen, part of the lost couple that owned the flower shop in Laoling, for blaming her for stealing from her, when in reality Siske only lost her money on accident during a summer vacation long ago. She went to her grave but no apology was accepted for obvious reasons. You’re surprised she has a grave already…

Fourteenth was Laura, one of her childhood friends with Maggie and the others, for being responsible for telling her parents that she was having a secret relationship with a boy they didn’t like. Laura was so furious she cut ties with Siske. No apology was accepted.

Fifteenth on this already long list were all the homeless people she made fun of in Laoling, they made her grovel, beg for forgiveness, dance while wearing a ridiculous costume – and all around humiliate her. And yet, no apology was accepted.

There were a couple of people she needed to apologize to like you and your childhood friends, but the homeless people incident was the turning point of this story. During this time while she wasn’t apologizing to people, she had to take part in language, etiquette, cooking and other types of classes made by Vender. Also, as she mentioned before, she recalled having weird fever dreams like being spanked for failing to earn her apologies, bowing to the world and kissing the floor to ask for forgiveness, and watching something on TV while inside a van.

In fact, the last one she had was about the latter, but instead she ran out of the van. She believes she was so mad about the last incident; she couldn’t conceal her dream well and could control her body in it. After that one, she woke up at a homeless shelter days later. One of the attendants working there told her a guy named Joe dropped her there, and asked not to be thanked or compensated because that would be troublesome. Siske granted his wish and did nothing. How lazy.

“What a convenient miracle.” You deadpan.

“I didn’t want to return to Vender, I wanted to do things my own way, but there was one important person I wanted to apologize to over anyone else… My own father.” Siske reveals. “I didn’t know where he lived anymore so I used that website to see if there was a chance they could find him, one of the homeless guys in the shelter told me about it. It’s free! He said…”

“That’s when you met with Maggie…” And the rest is history. History you don’t know ‘cause nobody told you what happened.

“Yeah… She put me in contact with the rest of your group: Koh, Bruce and Jesse. I don’t need to tell you what I did to all of you. I phoned them one by one. Koh told me I needed to be forgiven by the rest of your group first if I wanted him to accept my apology. Jessie said the only one I should be apologizing to is you. And Bruce just told me that no matter what I did, no matter what response I get, I’ll still be Siske and that will never be a good thing.” Damn Bruce… Siske was really hurt by that. “So no apologies accepted from them either. Then when it was your turn… Maggie held my hand and said: ‘Write a letter, he hates your voice.’

“…” You almost laughed.

“So, with Maggie and Catty Cat Cat, we went to find my father. Nobody in town likes me, but at least Maggie knew an old couple who told her where my parents lived. Yeah, they got back together, I was the real issue after all… So when I went to apologize, they told me to leave, they told me they didn’t want anything to do with me. That I was the reason for their suffering during all of these years, that they still love each other – and they wanted me GONE! HaHAhahAHAHhaAha…” Siske has another meltdown. “S-Sorry, I’ll pipe it down!” Siske apologizes to that mysterious someone again. “So I went back outside and told them… it was all fine. It wasn’t meant to happen… I was ready to give up then and there. But Maggie, that dumbass, told me… there is still one person left…”

“…” Huh, you were somewhat important after all.

Thank you…” Siske is crying again.

How do you respond?

>“That was a long story. Now I need to go.” Time to do something.
>“I’m glad you’re doing better.” You don’t need to be mean now.
>“I’m assuming that’s not the end of it, right?” Knowing Siske, this can’t be it.

“I’m glad you’re doing better.” You don’t need to be mean to her now.

Ayeeh nagh burr…” Siske incoherently struggles to respond as she continues crying.

“Quiet down or you’re going to get scolded again.” You remind her.

Nghy gya boo…” Siske lowers down the volume. “I-I know…” Siske says as she loudly clears her nose.

“There, that’s more like it.” You try to encourage her so she can calm down quicker.

“Y-You sound so condescending…” Siske regains her composure. “I-I didn’t think you would listen to my whole story…”

“It’s one of those days I decided to take the suffering head on.” You deadpan.

“C-Can I make it a little worse then…?” Siske wants something else from you. You were expecting something like this to happen…

“What is it?” You will hear her out without enthusiasm.

“I’ve been staying at this homeless shelter for some time now, but I heard that pervert Vender is searching for me and it’s a matter of time before he finds me out. Would you let me crash at your place for a little while? I-I’m scared… I have nowhere else to run… I don’t have any money, I got kicked out of college ‘cause of my arrest, my parents don’t care about me, Petra is not answering the phone and Evie sided with Laura after she told me off! I know that pervert has some type of connection to the police, so I don’t know who else to ask… I beg you…” Siske is really desperate again. “I’ll do anything you ask me to do! I swear I’ll behave and I’ll follow all your rules! You don’t have to care about me, I’ll sleep on the floor or whatever! I know you’re helpin’ Maggie too or something…! Allie, I didn’t want to ask you anything else, but you’re my only hope… I don’t wanna die anymore…”

Siske is doing her best not to break into tears.

How do you respond?

>“You can sleep in my car. Take it or leave it.” Your best offer.
>“I can’t decide that on my own, I need to talk to my roommates first. So be patient, I’ll go sort this thing out now.” Siske’ll have to wait for you to convince the others.
>“I’ll send you some money, go back to Laoling with it, and stay at my apartment.” Someone needs to take care of it anyway.
>“I gave you multiple chances before, and you let me down again and again. Sorry Siske, you’ll have to find help somewhere else.” Siske won’t take advantage of you. You can’t trust her.
>“No.” You don’t accept random homeless people at your home, you’re not a maniac.

We're not a maniac that accepts random homeless people from off the street. Siske wasn't on the street to begin with. She merely had all her domestic arrangement shattered due to her own mistakes, and the understandable disinterest of others in the face of said mistakes they were on the recieving end of. Our apartment is still our own; she's merely a temporary caretaker, and will vacate the premises once we return from our quest for bloody revenge. That is assuming we return outside a wooden container of rotting flesh and bone and other human matter.

“I’ll send you some money, go back to Laoling with it, and stay at my apartment.” You don’t mind having a temporary caretaker for your place, it’s probably dirty by now.

“Allie, a-are you sure…?” Siske feels emotional again.

“I wouldn’t offer you this alternative if I didn’t believe you were going to be safe.” You clarify.

“That wasn’t what I meant… Isn’t this too much?” Siske can’t believe you’re being this nice. She doesn’t know it’s because you don’t want her near now.

“Stop exaggerating.”

“I’m not.” Siske defends her point. “But I have some issues with your plan… I can’t get your money, I can’t access any ATM Machines anymore ‘cause my cards were blocked. I don’t have a safe way to get to the train station without getting spotted. And I don’t know where your apartment is or have the keys…”

“Right…” Nothing is ever simple when you’re dealing with this woman.

“I hate asking you for even more, but you’ll have to come over to hand me this stuff…” Siske sounds guilty about this solution. “S-Should I send you the shelter’s address?”

“Yeah, sure. Just be patient. I’ll call you back when I get there.” You facepalm…

“Allie… I’m sorry.” Siske apologizes again before you hang up.

You stay quiet for a second, then leave your room. Outside of it, you see Ascended Maggie, Bruce and Catastrovania all tied up, while Odettastrovania is on the couch poking at them with a stick.

“…” You stare at them speechless.

“What?” Odettastrovania glares at you.

How do you respond?

>“Maggie, I have a mission for you.” Send Ascended Maggie and someone else to deal with Siske.
>“I’m going out for a little while, I’ll be back soon.” You alone. You’ll lose their respect if you let them know you’re helping Siske.

“Can I borrow one of them?” You cordially ask.

“You going somewhere nice?” Odettastrovania wonders.

“No.”

“Then feel free to enjoy my spoils of war.” Odetta grins.

“I’ll take this one.” You grab Catastrovania’s head and pull her out like a toy, then you put her under your arm. You don’t care about what she thinks, so she’s the perfect partner for this.

“If I hear that she got even one inch closer to a Reese’s bar, you’ll join ‘em.” Odettastrovania points with her stick.

“Right, we’ll be back in a bit.” You start walking away, then you stop by the door. “Can I ask you a question before I leave?”

“What is it?” Odetta won’t stop being angry until a miracle happens.

“Why are you wearing the dog ears?” You wonder and immediately she throws her stupid stick at you. It landed right in your hair. You decided to ignore it and leave the apartment.

Now you’re walking towards the car with Catastrovania still under your arm.

“Excellent choice, assistant, you have been promoted to my right-hand man! You should be overjoyed!” Catastrovania can’t keep her mouth shut. “E-Either way, where are we going?”

“To a homeless shelter.”

“Y-You’re abandoning me…?!” Catastrovania can’t believe it.

“If that was the case, I would’ve thrown you in the dumpster.” You jest.

“That’s not funny. You’re about to lose your promotion if you persist with this attitude.” Catastrovania is a dumbass. “Why are we going to a homeless shelter then?”

“To help Siske get out of town.” You clarify as you open the car and put Catastrovania in the co-pilot seat.

“W-Wait, return at once! I-I don’t wanna go!” Catastrovania is strangely afraid of Siske of all people.

“No.” You lock the door.

“H-Help! I’m actually being kidnapped this time!” Catastrovania throws a tantrum.

“Oh, shut up and put your seatbelt on.” You get inside as well.

“Fine! You lost your promotion in record time! You’re my assistant again! I’m going to curse you too! Nyeeeh…!” Catastrovania flails her arms with ominous intentions.

“Oh poor me.” You pretend to be affected as you drive the car off.

Before getting to the homeless shelter, you went to the gas station and took some money out from an ATM Machine for Siske, so she can survive for a week without complaining, you’ll give her 200 G-Bucks. As you arrived at your destination, Catastrovania grew more and more anxious, she really didn’t want to come but she refuses to explain why. Still, you take her with you inside.

The shelter has an oppressing atmosphere inside despite being a well-kept building, the place is large like a gym, the walls are plastered with posters detailing information about different kinds of issues and how to get the help you need. Be it domestic abuse, suicide, unemployment, and many more. This doesn’t appear to be the main entrance the ‘regulars’ use, as you don’t see that many people aside from the receptionist and the guards. You ask where to go, and they tell you to go around through the right hallway until you get to the housing unit. There is a sign showing it, in fact, there are signs everywhere telling you where to go. Catastrovania states that this is not her kind of gloomy atmosphere…

So you get to housing unit B, it’s a large rectangular room divided into little cubicles with one or two cheap beds in each, using curtains to separate them like a field hospital. The place felt larger at first glance, but it’s cramped enough that it doesn’t feel as big. You called Siske to find her faster anyway…

“Allie, you actually came…!” It sinks into Siske that this is actually happening. She stands up from her tiny bed that was struggling with her weight, grabs a trash bag underneath it, and gets closer to you.

“Yeah.” No big fanfare from you. Cat is hiding right behind you, like mirroring your shadow, she doesn’t want to get spotted…

“C-Can I hug you?” Siske is already getting sentimental.

How do you respond?

“No.” You respond without hesitation. “No, we don’t have time for this. Let’s go.”

“You’re right, it’s just that… it’s been so long since I’ve genuinely wanted to hug a man...” Siske reveals as her expression only shows pain and regret.

“C’mon.” You start walking away, and by turning, you reveal Catastrovania from your back.

“Catty Cat Cat! You came here to help me as well!” Siske’s mood does a 180. She immediately grabs her by the shoulders.

Uh-oh…” Catastrovania wants to escape.

You’re so gosh darn cuuuuuute! I love you Catty Cat Cat!” Siske starts suffocating Catastrovania with a big hug, burying Cat’s face in her meaty breasts and kissing the top of her victim’s head. “I knew you wanted to see me again!”

“HELP! TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME! AL!” Catastrovania helplessly shouts. You’re too astonished to do anything.

“You’re just the most adorable human being I’ve ever seen!” Siske is in love in a way you’ve never seen before. “I lost all my pride, so I don’t care if you know about my stupid outbursts, Allie! I just love Cats!

“LET ME GO! You heard him, there is no time for hugs!” Catastrovania wants her freedom back.

“I’ll carry you fowever and ever then!” Siske carries Catastrovania like she’s an actual cat in her arms.

So now you understand why Cat didn’t want to come. Somewhere out there, you feel Odetta smiling…

“Don’t forget your bag…” You remind Siske.

“I have it right here, Allie!” Siske is so stupidly happy right now, you start to question reality.

As you’re about to step out of the housing unit, you are stopped by a somewhat familiar face…

“Y-You…! You’re the guy from that day…! I need help…!” It’s the hairdresser from the other day, Geneviéve Bourque! “D-Do you know about that damn hacker…?!”

She’s in the way to the door…

How do you respond?

>“Get out of my way, lady. I’m busy.” Push her aside. You’re already wasting your time with Siske!

“I have no idea who you are.” You play dumb, you’ll never forget her – her nudes are ingrained in your brain, terrorizing your thoughts for the rest of your mortal life. But you already had your revenge on her, so it’s kinda unfair to continue torture her.

“H-How could you forget?! I sold you the most fashionable hat ever conceived!” Geneviève is really hurt by your indifference; she drops to her knees.

“If that was the case, why am I not wearing it?” You reply as you walk past her towards the door.

AAaagh…! You uncouth, ignorant…” Geneviève dramatically puts her hand on her forehead.

“Who’s this weirdo?” The disgusted big fat weirdo known as Siske wonders.

“I don’t know.” You continue play dumb. “Let’s move on…”

Before you can open the door, you feel someone grabbing your leg. It’s the hairdresser…

“H-Hold on, gentleman… I was merely playing it up for your entertainment, but my question still remains!” Genevieve doesn’t want to give up.

“I gave you your answer, we’re in a hurry. Stop bothering us please.” You say as politely as you can.

“Please! I remember your friend over there clear as day!” Genevieve points at Catastrovania. Siske immediately hides her and gives the hairdresser an intimidating look. “The remnants of my memories of such tasteless and unsophisticated outfits still plague my mind! I just need your cooperation! I lost everything I had, but I can have it back…! I’ll get her the chicest dress you’ll ever see!”

“Cat’s cheap dress is part of the appeal and it fits her!” Siske barks.

“I-I think it’s cool…” Catastrovania mutters to herself.

“I really don’t have any idea of what you’re talking about.” And you want her to stop talking to you.

“B-But I changed your lives that day! You owe me!” Genevieve feels disrespected.

You decided to just ignore her and walk away, as you open the door a couple of feet away, another unexpected presence is revealed…

“You thought you were the only one who could use the power of Los Iluminados?” It’s… D. Dazzler! The homeless man you gave expired meat to at the beginning of your journey. Why is he here? Why has he returned?

“This is the women’s section, you disgusting old geezer!” Siske is repugned by him.

“You’ll pay for giving me the most delicious piece of meat I’ve ever eaten! It was poisoned!” D. Dazzler wants revenge!

“What’s even going on…?” Catastrovania pretends she’s the most sane person in this situation.

“Look.” You threw out all your pocket change in the air to distract this homeless man, you had a lot of coins and some bills… Goodbye 17 bucks.

Oh! Shiny!” D. Dazzler falls for your trick and tries to grab the money.

“Yes! I might be able to afford my hair conditioner with this…!” Genevieve grovels for the cash as well to your surprise. They seem captivated by the decent amount of money you threw. The other homeless people around give those two a scornful look for sinking so low.

Now you three get away from the housing unit at last and make your way out…

“How pitiful of ‘em…” Siske forgets that she’s no better.

“You almost joined them…” Catastrovania points out. Yes, you saw Siske lean forward but she didn’t go farther than that.

“Catty Cat Cat, you are way cuter with your mouth shut, keep it that way.” Siske didn’t like that.

“Did you forget I’m planning on giving you some money…?” You wonder.

“I-I had a memory lapse, that’s all! I told you it’s been happening to me a lot lately.” Siske defends herself poorly.

“I’ll never shut up as long as you continue carrying me.” Catastrovania wants out. She’s lying anyway, she’ll never shut up no matter what.

“Doesn’t matter! Your voice is so sweet! You’re so adorbs, I can’t stay mad at you!” Siske really likes Cat for no good reason. She grabs her tighter to show more love. “Now you need to start saying ‘Nya’ at the end of all sentences like I taught you last time! Like this, nya! Isn’t it cute, nya?”

Please… help…” Catastrovania can’t breathe.

“Allie, let’s go this way! There is another exit over here.” Siske points out as she tries to be useful for the first time since you’ve known her.

“Right…” You’ll follow her because she knows the place.

This back entrance is more crowded than the other, it appears this is the place where the regular homeless people use to get into the housing unit like you suspected, still not many people around and no guards. As you step out of the building, another uninvited guest makes his entrance…

“What a lovely surprise! Fancy meeting you here, Alfred Brown and your unrefinedly dressed friend! I see that you brought my naughty lady in training with you! Thank you!” This day keeps getting worse… It’s Vender… He’s wearing different clothes than last time.

“Ngh…” Cat felt that.

“Y-You know t-this creep?!” Siske is dumbfounded.

“Sadly, yes.” You say.

“I-Inconceivable… M-Me!? A c-creep!? That’s no way for a lady to talk! Was all your training for naught?! I’m your savior!” Vender is flabbergasted. “I thought you were lost, but by the looks of it I’ll have to start all over with you! I was so worried about you being lost in the streets, but I forgot the streets are the place where you belong, well, until I’m done with you, blehehehe.”

“I-I’m not going with you, you creep, Master Vender…!” Siske said something weird there.

“W-Why did you call him Master?” Catastrovania is confused.

“Is that not his full name…?” Siske is an idiot. “W-Wait, you’re right…” Siske lets Catastrovania on her feet and touches her forehead.

“Well, your little escapade is over, my lovely Siske. You need to be chastised.” Vender announces. “Please, hand her over, Alfred Brown. Ichie put her good name on the line for you. Prove where your allegiance lies!”

Despite looking like he’s alone, you have a bad feeling about this…

“No.” Even if there is a better way to deal with this, you don’t want to deal with these people anymore.

“As I expected, you’re nothing but a liar since the very beginning.” Vender gets real mad with you.

“Now, Cat! Blind him!” You command.

POCKET SANDSTORM~!” Catastrovania unleashes one of her forbidden techniques.

“Ha! Your old tricks won’t work on me!” Vender presses his blindfold with one hand and a visor comes out to protect his other eye. “With this deflector I’m immune to your petty techniques! Now, it’s time for— UGH! *Cough* Ngh…! Agggh…! My throat…” He was so busy talking that the sand ended up inside his mouth. He’s choking so badly he’s on his knees now…

“Let’s run.” You tell the girls.

WICKED SHELL MODE activated!” Catastrovania jumps in the air and lands on your back, she’s pretending she’s a backpack or something. You think she’s getting dumber the more time she spends with you all. “Onwards, steed.”

“…” If you weren’t in a hurry, you would’ve dropped her. Siske looks jealous… “Follow me.”

“R-Right…” Siske can’t process what’s going on fast enough but starts following you.

“W-Wait… *cough*…” Vender is still struggling… “You can’t— *cough*… I forgot… *cough*... the signal...”

This is going to win you a hell of a lot more time than you were expecting when you thought of running. The only problem now is that halfway through your escape, Siske is way too tired to keep going, she’s just too out of shape… She can’t even hold her breath for long enough to apologize. You don’t think Vender is anywhere near here, but you still need to get moving…

You’re close to the parking space you left the rental car in, it shouldn’t be more than one or two blocks away.

What do you do?

>Run for it and bring the car here. You’re going to leave her exposed though.

“C’mon Siske, you can do it. We’re so close.” You try to encourage her to give her strength to continue.

Ah… Ah… Ah… Aah…” Siske moans loudly as her hands are on her knees. Now she gets enough strength to walk 4 more steps closer to you, then leans on a wall…

“Two more blocks and that’s it, let’s go.” You continue cheering her on.

Ah… Ah… Allie…” Siske shakes her head, she can’t move anymore. She has one hand on the wall, and the other on the belly area below her right breast, her legs are wobbling and she’s sweating like a pig. She’s just way too fat.

“Catastrovania, encourage her too.” You’ll resort to Cat.

“Go, Go, Siske, go, go.” Catastrovania gives you a half-assed attempt. It didn’t help Siske at all.

“Can you try…?”

“F-Fine… L-Let’s go, Siske, nyan!” Catastrovania plays it up for the fatty in a horrifying way.

It works somehow, and Siske finds the strength to move, not as fast as you started – but good enough to continue.

I-I’m so embarrassed…” Catastrovania whispers to you as she hides her head inside her dress like a turtle.

“You did good.” You compliment her efforts.

…But victory didn’t last long as Siske just plummets one block away from the car, falling flat on the ground – her trash bag explodes and her stuff is spread out everywhere, like her clothes, deodorant, her toothbrush, and a random book – and yes, her panties too. You didn’t want to see that. You didn’t want to see that at all.

All Siske can do from the floor is pant. She really needed more help than just words…

“W-What do we do now…?!” Catastrovania knows this is the moment to panic.

From really afar, you can see Vender approaching, or at least something that looks like him.

What do you do?

>Tell Cat to gather Siske’s stuff, you’ll run for it and bring the car. You need to be quick.

“Cat, figure out a way to move Siske and her stuff inside the car.” You have decided to change courses. “I’ll distract Vender.” You crack your knuckles.

Dismounting…” Catastrovania stops riding your back. “A-Are you sure this is a good idea, assistant? ‘cause I’ll need a crane.”

“Just do what you need to do. I’m counting on you.” You start walking away.

“Ngh… stay safe!” Catastrovania starts collecting Siske’s stuff and looks around for a place to hide.


It’s been a long day…

You’ll keep walking forward until you meet with Vender.

There you see him.

It doesn’t appear that the sand is bothering him anymore.

He was running until he realized you were walking towards him. He then matches your speed, sporting a smile on his face.


“Oh dear, dear! What a pickle we found ourselves in! And all because of that perverse Siske, huh?” Vender starts monologuing. “Oh Siske, oh my dear Siske! Your naughtiness knows no bounds! Even after I cleansed you, you managed to go back to your raunchy ways! You ingrates are always the ones who piss me off the most! But I’m so excited to bring you to the right path again.” Vender’s smile grows wider and wider. “The struggles of a gentleman to help those who can’t help themselves. Just like yesterday, I helped this megalomaniac idiot recover his van! I thought it was abandoned, and as the kind soul that I am, I gave it to a charity – but he was so self-centered that he got pissed! How selfish! It was for the greater good! Then he had the audacity to hang up on ME! I called him back again to help him realize his egocentric ways and then he blocked ME! Can you believe that?”

“....” You feel bad for that guy.

“You don’t have anything to say? What do the likes of you understand about my struggle, anyway? I come down from my plateau to help you people, yet you’re so ignorant you mock me for my efforts! You, Alfred Brown, you’re a clear example of this.” Vender gives you a scornful look. “Look at yourself. No matter how many times I tell you how that indecent Maggie is manipulating you, you continue risking your life for that heartless woman! It was pathetic before, but now? Now that I know Maggie didn’t even repay you in the way your disgusting mind feels like a woman should? Now I think you’re one of the most pathetic men I’ve ever seen.” Vender starts chuckling. “Isn’t it obvious? You’re helping Siske! Siske! That means you’re desperate for any type of woman’s comfort! Do you know what kind of lowlife Siske truly is? Do you know at what levels this naughty girl has sunk? But go you! You got to kiss a woman at last, if you think you can even call her that…!” Vender shakes his head. “But a gentleman turns the other cheek. Ichie has you in high regard, so we can work this out. I don’t like apologies, they are so insincere, but you’re a special case."
>>
>>4555990

"..."

"Why don't you bring Siske here, apologize and leave? I’m not even going to ask about that nasty Maggie. Sound like a deal?”

How do you respond?

>With your fist on his face.

“Can’t get better than this, hmm? You know I’m doing this for your own good! I mean, I can’t leave things unfinished, Siske needs to go through her re-education process, there is no way I’ll let her go back to the abhorrent life she has! Maybe one day, with the proper education, you two can genuinely aspire to be at my level! Just say that you’re so—”


And at that moment, your fist clashed with Vender’s skull with the power of all the ire you’ve accumulated during the day. Almost making the experiences you went through today worth it.

Vender flies through the air like a ragdoll, and bounces off the street multiple times, leaving a splat of blood with each bounce until his limp body drops a final time when all momentum is lost, remaining unmoving even after you clean your fist of the blood.

If he had any back up, they’ll need to find his corpse first.

Vender has been Defeated!

You have realized that punching Vender felt pretty good, you cannot imagine how great it’s going to feel when you break Aleister’s bones one by one.



You should go to the car. Your distraction here is done.



Maybe he has a vacuum again, you’ll destroy it for fun. You get closer to his corpse to inspect it.





He has one on his back, like a turtle shell, nothing like Catastrovania’s transformation at all. You take it and stomp on it until it’s nothing but rubble. Then you grab the rubble and put it over his body. Now you feel satisfied enough to return to help the others. You walk away, feeling better about yourself. Perhaps this is the turnaround of the day? One starts feeling hopeful when revenge is reenacted, at least, you think so.

At the car, you find Catastrovania and your old client Gualberto (Silver Sun’s Brother) on the car trunk with Siske’s stuff behind them with a cloth holding them together; while Siske herself is right next to the car, resting a section of her body on a skateboard, she’s still exhausted and panting. Looks uncomfortable.

In a fast briefing while you were putting Siske’s stuff in the car trunk, Catastrovania explains that Gualberto recognized her while he was skating around. That’s when Cat had the brilliant idea to use the skateboard to transport Siske to the car. You have no idea how it didn’t break. Gualberto only agreed to help because he was allowed to touch Siske’s breasts while helping Cat push, his brother told him that breasts are the most wonderful thing in the world, so he wanted to know what the big deal was. He likes them too now because he enjoys how soft they are, but he feels it’s not that different from how Siske’s belly felt. Catastrovania agrees that it’s basically all fatness. You hope this isn’t the start of some weird fetish in the kid…

“Here, have 5 bucks for helping. Don’t tell anybody what happened today.” You already know that this kind of money is not enough to repair a skateboard.

“Hey, thanks! You’re far nicer than on the phone!” Gualberto receives the money with a smile on his face. “But how are you going to lift this whale up? She’s way too heavy! We were both pushing, and we were barely moving her.” Poor kid, he had to push it all the way here by himself. Catastrovania doesn’t have any upper body strength after all.

This… *pants*… kid…” Siske is too tired but you can feel her anger.

“It’s no issue.” You lift Siske on your shoulders, open the door to the back of the car, and leave her there.

“Woah, crap! Y-You’re strong!” The kid is impressed.

“Fufufu~, that’s why he’s one of my most important minions.” Catastrovania is proud of you.

“Just get in the car, we’re still in a hurry. We have to leave. Goodbye, kid.” You hurry Catastrovania inside and get into the driver’s seat as well.

“Bye!” Gualberto waves goodbye.

As you drive off, you come to a realization you didn’t want to acknowledge before... Can Siske even leave if she continues to be this tired?

What do you do?

Maybe we should compliment Siske on pushing herself? Hopefully she'll get motivated to stop being such a /fit/let and embrace the glory of sick gainz while she's maintaining our house, instead of becoming a couch potato.

>>4556095
I have this strange feeling that by the end of this, Vender is going to face us in a vacuum suit. Both because the guy seems the sort to do it, and also to keep all his insides inside with how much we keep beating him.
>>
>>4556288
Painting exercise as something she might want to do seems like a good idea. We can motivate her by saying that unless she does something next time Vender comes for her she won't be able to get away if things stay the same.
Make her a schedule to follow. If she objects or complains say that she has never tried doing anything even near like this before and everything else has been a disaster, but now she has a chance to shift gears. Schedule could be something like:
-Do a lap around the apartment block every day with more laps over time.
-Visit neighbor Berenice's for lunch and non physical work sewing.
-Rest of the day is for leisure or studying online.

We do have to call Berenice ahead of Siske and let her know that her new neighbor is a recovering abuse victim abuser being Vender and who is struggling to overcome their selfishness and ask if Berenice could help out.

So during the rest of the trip, you told Catastrovania what happened with Vender, it was a short story. Cat was malignantly proud of your actions, and she’s glad you left unscathed. You think Siske heard it all as well, but you can’t be sure.

At the train station, Siske still wasn’t fully recovered to move around, so instead you had to go buy her ticket. Sadly, said train is going to depart in 40 minutes. Good news is that once you came back, Siske had enough strength to talk and walk around, but that’s as far as she can go for now. Worried that she might get herself in trouble again, you decided to wait for her train to depart with her. You three are waiting at the lobby, it’s a nice yet innocuous place to be in with a decent amount of people waiting as well.

Aww… I wish I had enough strength to be hugging Catty Cat Cat now…” Siske laments as she’s the only one sitting down, she has her stuff in a new trash bag by her side.

“I’m glad you don’t! You reminds me of certain someone who has those DISGUSTING tendencies, though I never experienced this torture firsthand until now…” Catastrovania reveals a little bit about her traumatic encounters.

“Though, I find it commendable how much you pushed yourself today, Siske. You displayed great resilience, so keep it up.” You compliment Siske for how much she ran for a blob.

“Ha, ha, real funny, Allie…” Siske thinks you’re making fun of her and gets a little embarrassed. “I dropped down like a sack of potatoes after, like, a minute of running.”

“I’m serious. With that commitment you’ll get far if you promise yourself to lose weight.” It’s never easy at the start.

“F-Fine, I’ll do what I can, but d-don’t act like I enjoy being like this, you know why this happened…” Siske doesn’t sound fully committed.

“You don’t get to this point if you don’t love indulging yourself far too much.” You can tell by her attitude, posture and train of thought, that she has become far too lazy. “But that’s not the point, Siske. You won’t be able to get away from Vender if things stay the same. A healthier lifestyle is just a bonus.”

“I know that, Allie. I’m not stupid... I-I’m just pathetic…” Siske The Stupid rolls her eyes as her cheeks turn red. “Geez, I’m not used to anyone being this worried about me. I’ll do whatever the hell you want, r-relax.”

“Good, let’s build you a schedule then.” You pull out your phone to write it down.

“A schedule? A bit much, isn’t it? But I get it! If you want me back at my hottest, you only had to ask, Allie-Cutey!” Siske gives you a playful look. It’s disgusting. “Hey, i-it’s just a joke, you don’t have to give me that look…” Siske looks hurt.

“What did you expect…?” Catastrovania knows how things work.

And so, you built Siske a routine to follow every day. She’ll lap around the apartment block, adding more laps over time. She’ll visit your lovely neighbor Berenice for lunch and non-physical sewing work. And the rest of the day she will use for leisure and to continue studying online, the latter being what you strongly suggested her to do. Basically, the routine you had at the very beginning of this adventure.

“…Again, don’t do anything bad to Berenice or Boris, I can forgive you about what you did to me, but messing with them is unforgivable. Got it?” You make it painfully clear again. You’ll have to call Berenice about the new neighbor they are going to get and what kind of person she is. You already owe them a lot, but this might break the bank…

“Y-Yes, Allie! I won’t disappoint you!” Siske is being more obedient now.

“I kinda want to meet them, they sound nice.” This whole conversation sparked Catastrovania’s interest. “Hey Siske, your train is leaving soon…”

“I’ll carry your stuff.” You grab the trash bag. “Let’s go.”

“Mhm…” Siske struggles to stand up.

You all walk to the boarding area. In front of you is the parting Hamje Southeast Train, one of the stops is Laoling, this machine will take Siske home. Other people are getting inside, but there is no rush. Siske is in front of you and Catastrovania, her back a few feet from one of the entrances.

“Here is your ticket, my keys, some money, and a map with my direction on it. I texted you the address just in case as well.” You hand all the stuff to Siske.

“You know you didn’t need to wait for the last moment to hand me all this stuff, right…?” Siske knows you don’t fully trust her.

“Can you blame me?” You deadpan.

“Guess not.” Siske chuckles. There is a strange melancholic air coming from her. “Catty Cat Cat, you’re so adorbs, I want to hug you again one last time before I go, but I only have the strength to carry my bag. So could you—?”

No.” Catastrovania hides behind you.

“…Didn’t hurt to ask. You’re so lucky you’re a cutesy.” Siske isn’t pleased.

“Take care anyway…” That’s the best she’ll ever get from Cat.

“Thanks…” Siske now turns to you. “This is it, Allie. I’m leaving. Please, give Maggie my thanks.”

(Sorry! I'll ignore the tie this time 'cause I spend a lot of time drawing and I didn't want to waste it. Sorry again...)

Sometimes you need to make great sacrifices to accomplish your goals. You’ll pretend to care greatly for her using your level 1 Acting. With the grace of the crane of a Prize Claw Machine, you get closer to Siske and hug her to everyone’s surprise…

“AAAH!?” Catastrovania can’t believe her eyes, she’s looking around for an explanation.

“Good luck over there, I believe you can change.” You manifest to Siske. “Please, do not give up.”

“Allie…” Siske drops her stuff and hugs you back. She feels sweaty and mushy, like a recently chewed bubblegum. It makes you want to puke. “A-Allie, I’m sorry…! I’m sowwy for everything I did! I don’t understand how you can forgive me! I’m a monster…! I don’t deserve any of this!” Siske is doing everything in her power to not cry.

“You don’t have to apologize, it’s fine.” That’s sounding more robotic than you intended, but Siske doesn’t seem to give a crap.

“Allie, thaaank you for giving me another chance…! Thank you… Allie… Thank you...!” Siske is holding you tight, she’s finding more strength. “I w-was so wrong about you! I won’t disappoint you… I promise… I promise.”

“T-This is not really happening, is it…?” Catastrovania wants to reject reality.

You have to go…” Your voice comes out like you have lung cancer. You grab her by the arms and gently move her away, leaving both hands on her. You couldn’t handle this much longer...

“Allie, this scar from this point onwards has a new meaning…” Siske blushes as she holds her hands with bliss. “You’re my savior…”

Yeah, that’s great, but we don’t have much time…” You sound like you’re on your deathbed. Your message will be more effective if you take your hands off her, but you’re paralyzed.

“Allie, I just realized… that I love you.” Siske blushes and warmly smiles at you.

“I know you weren’t expecting that, Allie! I know you don’t think much of me, but I’ll become a woman you can fall in love with!” Siske starts walking away. “Also, don’t worry, I know Maggie wouldn’t mind sharing! Hehe!”

“…………………...” Alfred has stopped thinking.

“Take care!” Siske was too embarrassed to look back at Alfred as she boarded the train.








Minutes pass without Alfred moving from his spot, Catastrovania recovers from her own shock and gets closer to the vengeful man.

“A-Al… A-Are you okay…?” To say Catastrovania is worried would be an understatement.

“………..” Alfred does not move. He can’t reboot his system.

“A-Al, are you cryin’…?” Catastrovania realizes. “W-Wait, that’s blood…! Wait, you’re crying blood?!”

“…………………” Alfred drops down onto his knees and starts puking blood as well.

“Al! D-Don’t die on me…! A-Al! Al!” Catastrovania shakes the ex-shopkeeper to make him snap, but nothing happens.



Alfred has collapsed.

Meanwhile in Laoling...

Your name is Masen Reid. You’re currently a prisoner of some mafia you were trying to run from because you found out the identity of their leader by chance and they want to keep it a secret at all costs. You were captured with your father, but you’re inside a cell all on your own, they take him out during the day to interrogate him. He refuses to disclose to you what they do to him, but he comes back every night to sleep and in not the best of shapes. The only thing he has told is to train, so you pass your time exercising.

From what you gathered, you’re being used to blackmail two of your new friends named Alfred and Maggie for some reason. You have no idea why they’re doing this all for you after betraying them at one point, but all you want is to repay their kindness.

Again, you’re trapped inside a cell, there are 3 in this room and they have the stuff a normal prison cell would have. Usually there is a pair of guys making rounds to keep an eye on you, but even if they were here, they don’t care one bit about what you do.

…Well, except today there is another prisoner.

“Kid, I have a plan! Just listen to me and we can both get out!” The other prisoner has tried to convince you of joining his dream project.

“I told you over and over again, they have my dad, if I leave, he’s gonna be toast.” You don’t mind explaining this over and over again though, you miss talking to people.

“I just said he works for ‘em, he’s bamboozling you! No idea why!” The prisoner has a short fuse.

“C’mon, you know I can’t believe that…” You’re not stupid. You’re impulsive. That’s different.

“Once I find my way out of here, you’re going to be so sorry.” The prisoner taunts.

“Why can’t you wait for my dad to join us…?” You’re still stupefied by his stubbornness.

“He’s a snitch! I told ya! I don’t want a free beatin’, yo!” He’s a good actor, you’re going to give him that.

Violently the door to the room opens, like someone trying to prove a point, and the mysterious man comes inside once again. He has brought you quality food during the last few days and has asked you repeatedly to tell him where Maggie and Alfred are.

“Here.” He only brings a meal for you.

“Fucker, that’s Zama! What the fuck is he doing here?” The other prisoner looks dumbfounded. “Wait, you didn’t bring me a plate too?”

“Please be quiet.” Zama gives the other prisoner a fierce look. “Here. Feel free to eat.”

“Thank you.” You grab the tray and dig in.

“Please, tell me where your collaborators are.” Zama keeps asking over and over again.

How do you respond?

>“Ngghgnhg…” You’re still eating! You can’t talk!
>“I don’t know where they are and even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.” You won’t betray them again.
>“Sure, if you get me out of here.” Lie. Lie. Lie.
>Write In.

“I don’t know where they are and even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.” The only reason you’re alive right now is because of them, you’re not going to betray them even if your life depended on it.

“You speak clearly even with your mouth full, I’ve never seen something like that before.” Zama is surprised by something stupid. He sits down on the ground, directly in front of you. “I would’ve loved to have someone as trustworthy as you working alongside me.”

“Aren’t bootlickers enough for ya’?!” The other prisoner retorts.

“Is there anything wrong praising someone for their courage?” Zama sounds confused.

“Who gives a damn about a cockroach’s words?” Why does this asshole think you care about what he thinks?

“Well, don’t look down on it, the cockroach might’ve gone to college.” Zama is very casual about this. He has never stayed this long after giving your food before. Does he think he has earned your trust or something? He’s far more stupid than you thought.

“Y-You went to college…?” The other prisoner wonders.

“I have not. It would be a nice thought if cockroaches went to college…” Zama thinks it over. “Well, I’m sure they do, but not to study.”

“Why are you doing this? Why are you being so casual?” You don’t understand what his deal is.

“Frankly, I’m tired of talking to my people, I’m getting nowhere with them. I need new perspectives and I have you two, we’re facing a roadblock and I don’t know what to do.” Zama doesn’t seem to lie. But you don’t need to care.

“And why should we give a shit about what’s troublin’ ya? Why do we need to help the enemy?!” The other prisoner really sounds pissed. “I’m not interested!”

“Yeah, there is no reason.” Zama starts playing with his cigarette between his fingers. You have never seen him actually smoke one…

What do you do?

“Do we get anything for helping?” You’ll work out a deal if possible. Getting nothing at this point would be beyond insulting.

“Yes, of course, what do you have in mind? Be sensible, it has to be within the realm of what’s possible in my position. You’re being kept here by the head of the entire family, I can’t go against his explicit orders.” Zama is willing to give you a nice offer.

“Don’t listen to him! He’s as untrustworthy as they come! He’s the head of the Vatalaro Family, a subsidiary of the Min-Hu Alliance as a whole! He’s as much responsible for keeping you here as anyone else!” The prisoner shouts. You imagine he was a pretty big shot just by how the other guards reacted to him.

“Yes, I never had the intention of hiding those facts. I give you my word that I’ll fulfill my part of the deal.” Zama bows his head down towards you.

“There is no honor among criminals, big guy. Don’t regret it later.” The other prisoner walks further inside his cell, he appears to have lost his interest.

“I suppose I won’t get your cooperation then...” Zama says to the other guy. He turns to you. “What do you want for helping me out here?” He cordially wonders.

How do you respond?

>“Forget it, the other guy is right. I can’t trust you.” You’ll side with your fellow prisoner.
>“I would like to know what they are doing to my father up there.” You want to know the truth.

“I would like to know what they are doing to my father up there.” You get all serious. You might look stupid, but you’re taking this seriously…

“I already told you the truth. Why are you wasting this opportunity?” The other prisoner can’t help himself and butts in.

“You think I can believe it just like that…?” You point out no matter how much he believes he’s telling the truth; you still trust your father more than a stranger.

“Sounds good. Would you like me to just tell you or bring evidence as well?” Zama wonders.

“This guy won’t believe shit without a picture or somethin’, so you must.” The other prisoner knows how this works.

“You’re not wrong in this case.” You would laugh but you want to maintain your seriousness.

“You won’t like what I’m going to show you later, that I can say for certain…” Zama sighs. He stands up and walks towards the exit. “I’m going to gather the evidence. I’ll be back in a few.” He shows you his phone and then leaves the room.

You hear the prisoner rattle the bars as he gets closer to get your attention, for the first time you have a clear look at him…

“I’m telling you, kid. This is a giant wasted opportunity. Once you’re part of this world, you can’t leave. That’s your old man’s tale.” The other prisoner sighs. “Look, we’re both in this together, we’re bros basically, so all I’m asking is for you to restrain that bastard just for 5 seconds and I’ll promise you that I’ll get us both out of here…!”

How do you respond?

>“If you’re right, I’ll hold him. If you’re not, I’m not doing a thing.”
>“Sorry, but I’m not your bro. Staying here guarantees my dad and friends’ safety too, so I can’t leave even if I want to.”

“What makes you so sure that what you have up your sleeve is good enough? Tell me about it, you don’t have much to lose.” You won’t do anything risky without knowing the odds.

“I-I don’t think we have time to explain, we’re bros, believe me!” The other prisoner won’t tell you that easily.

“I think you’re underestimating how much time we have left, but you’re right, I should believe you… Wait, we’re not bros!” You won’t be fooled! “If what you have is so useful, then why do you need my help handling this?”

“I need you to hold him still so I can snatch the key from him, I just need a couple of seconds. All the important rooms in this building have an unique lock that only a few people have! Even if we manage to break out of these cells, we’ll be stuck since those things are so sturdy. That’s why I need you, bro.” The prisoner explains himself at last.

“S-Stop calling me bro…” You don’t even know his name.

“Prison breaking together will make us bros, bro.” He believes in you in a phony way.

“Don’t take it for granted!” You complain. “And what are you planning to do after you get out of this room?”

“Stopping a war from happening.” Your ‘bro’ replies.

“A w-what…?!” You don’t know what he’s talking about.

“Yes, within the Min-Hu Alliance! But it will have repercussions throughout the whole country! Pay attention ‘cause I’m not sayin’ this twice…” Your cellmate gets serious and begins his monologue…

Your fellow prisoner (his name is Clyde) explains that the Min-Hu Alliance is on the verge of an internal war for its leadership again. After their previous leader died from choking on some broccoli, the two most important factions within the Alliance were in conflict for power: The Vatalaro Family and the Traditionalists. One led by the man you just met Zama Vatalaro, and the other by Penelope Don Sato respectively.

Strength wise, the Min-Hu Alliance is just a small fry in the world of organized crime and that’s being generous. They usually hold 30 men strong at best. Their importance comes from its territory Laoling and its country-known holiday: The Red Emitter Dance.

For some reason, every year, the old leaders of the Rokyo Clan (Historically, the biggest mafia organization across the country located primarily in the capital.) always come over to celebrate the holiday. And use it as a neutral meeting place with other leaders. Which is the reason why for a long time they funneled money to the Min-Hu Alliance and had an amicable relationship.

With the recent change of heads in the Rokyo Clan, and subsequently becoming the Youhao Clan, they offered to make the Min-Hu Alliance a part of their clan as another subsidiary organization. The previous leader didn’t take the offer kindly and rejected it, not trusting the new direction they were taking after dropping their values with the new name and other minor things.

That’s when Zama Vatalaro joined the Min-Hu Alliance and became a powerful figurehead quickly with his efficiency, earning the trust of their leader and creating the Vatalaro Family. Then he started to take over territory in Topakasa and grew in size. Eventually becoming thrice as big as they originally were. After their leader’s death, the traditionalists found out he was getting its resources from the Youhao Clan, and also believed their leader was killed.

Once the news was known, Zama had the intention of taking over the whole family and merging it with the Youhao Clan. Penelope Don Sato was against it, trying to hold up the values of what their previous leader left with them, but she had no more sway than the opposite leader.

The odds were against the Traditionalists, and even if they weren’t, Penelope Don Sato wasn’t interested in fighting a pointless war. The Min-Hu Alliance is known for being a facilitator for other organizations, to make deals, move stuff around and be an impartial judge between them. So having this level of infighting could destroy its reputation.

She was clever enough to find an heir to take over the Alliance and remain autonomous. Supposedly, there was none, but Penelope found a close enough cousin in the family tree to make this work and gain some time. But their plan backfired as the new leader just made everything more difficult because he wasn’t interested in the position at all, and his erratic orders just complicated everything for both factions.

What actually nobody knows except for Clyde here, is that the reason Zama Vatalaro wants to take over the Min-Hu Alliance is to prepare everything for an eventual assassination of the leader of the Youhao Clan once they use Laoling as the meeting point for one of their negotiations in the near future. The repercussions of said act are so astronomically big, Clyde isn’t even sure what could happen, it could mean a war between all mafia gangs around the country at the very least.

“H-How do you know all of this?” You were far more entertained by his storytelling than you expected.

“I used to work for the Traditionalists before they moved me to the Vatalaro Family, I overheard some stuff here and there at first. I wasn’t planning on betraying ‘em, but they betrayed me first! I overshared some information with a journalist guy, and when they found out, they threw me to the lion’s den! They set me up to get beaten by some asshole kid. Shit, my brain hasn't worked so good anymore since then…” Clyde doesn’t sound like a clever guy. You assume that kid he’s talking about is that sack of shit Aleister. “I was so super mad, so I told the journalist guy I would help him get all the info he needed, so they can go to hell! I sneaked around here and there and found out everything, I’m pretty good at it… Now if I don’t do anything, it will be a disaster, and preventing a disaster sounds like the coolest shit. I just need to meet up with Penelope, the Vatalaro Family is in shambles right now, so it’s the perfect time to strike!”

“So you’re a snitch? I can’t be bros with a snitch…” You have some principles.

“Hey, bro, I didn’t do it on purpose! Besides, they backstabbed me first…!” Clyde looks offended by your comment. You two hear someone rattling on the door. “Fuck, that must be Zama. I’m trusting you, bro!”

The door opens and you hear Zama going down the steps, he holds his phone up and shakes it, like showing that it’s ready for you.

“Here is what you want.” Zama makes it more painfully obvious as he gets closer. “Now, let’s chat together.”

How do you respond?

>“Show it to me first, then we’ll talk.” You’re not doing anything until he does.

“Show it to me first, then we’ll talk.” You won’t do anything for Zama until he actually does something for you.

“I have good reason to believe that after I show you this, you won’t feel like talking in general.” Zama is making you worry. “And if I don’t get my part of the deal, this is pointless.”

“I can say the same thing.” You retort.

“Can’t you tell that this guy is worried about his father? Don’t you have a heart, man?” Clyde objects in your favor as he sees the stalemate emerging.

“I have a job to worry about first and foremost, my life depends on it.” Zama won’t cooperate easily with you, what a bastard.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself, believe me, no one is gonna miss you.” Clyde chuckles.

“That is true.” Zama has no qualms about his position. “Since you’re emotionally invested in this, I’ll make a deal with you as well. I’ll show him the tape right now if you agree to chat with me if he’s incapable of doing so.”

“T-This counts as my only wish…?” Clyde doesn’t look sure of himself.

“It’s not a wish, it’s a favor.” Zama clarifies.

“Either way, fine! Whatever makes you do what’s right!” Clyde is confident about something.

“Here…” Zama makes the phone slide between the bars deep into your cell from where he was. “I was afraid I was going to mess that up.”

“H-Hey, that’s not how you hand people stuff! Didn’t your momma teach you any manners?!” Clyde gets angry on your behalf.

“Too late for her to teach me, she’s dead.” Zama again is emotionless.

“Oh shit, I’m sorry, pal…” Clyde feels bad for Zama. He’s not a bright guy.

“It’s no problem.” Zama doesn’t mind at all. “I had to do that for my own safety, I can’t get that close to you both. You can keep the phone, you can’t get any signal from here, I think it has a couple of games, I’ll inform the guards so that they don’t take it from you.”

“Right…” You grab the phone and first and foremost, you look at the time and date. It’s 10 PM, you’ve been locked up here for almost 2 weeks… Now, it’s time to watch the video.

It shows your dad all tied up in front of a barrel full of water, they repeatedly put his face inside it for a long period of time, then out of it and ask him to tell them what they want to know. He just shakes his head every time, and every time he fails to answer, someone punches him. It keeps going until your dad realizes he’s being taped.

“B-Blow me, ya shits. I’m not tellin’ you crap, ya fucks…” He grins towards the camera as blood comes out of his mouth. “Over my dead body will I tell you shit…” He kisses towards the camera.

The video continues being more of the same, you had to stop there…

“Dad…” You’re trying to contain the tears.

“T-That doesn’t sound any good…” Clyde is slowly realizing that you were right.

“Are you willing to talk to me?” Zama doesn’t have any hope that you will.

“Y-Yeah, sure.” You’re going to control your emotions just like your mom always says. “Just give me a moment.”

“Take your time.” Zama grabs a chair and sits down.

“Hey big guy, sorry about everything I said about your dad…” Clyde takes the time to apologize. “I’m not used to, y’know, people being decent.”

“Don’t worry about it, man.” You’re proud to be his son.

“I wish I could give you some encouraging words, but you’ll just think I’m sounding facetious.” Zama simultaneously realizes and doesn’t realize that he needs to keep his mouth shut.

“Feel free to say whatever you wanna say, how people come across to me hasn’t stopped anyone from telling me what they think, I can take it.” You’re a big man. “Just keep in mind that you’re not going to get away with this, none of you guys are. I don’t believe in justice, but I believe I will grab you all by the throat, drag your faces through the ground and make you all reach hell.”

“Don’t make hefty promises, they can backfire.” Zama isn’t afraid or confident of what he said. “Then shall we start?”

“Hey, he just told you he’s gonna kill ya and you don’t give a half of a rat’s ass?!” Clyde is concerned.

“After what I’ve done, I cannot help how he feels about me, I don’t know how to feel about myself. I remain composed but when I look at him, I know those are not the eyes of a murderer, it’s far more unsettling, he merely wants to see me suffer.” Zama sounds concerned. “Anyway, let’s move on…”

“Yeah.” You nod.

“I have lost many of my men to one guy. He’s an unstoppable force who I can’t deal with directly. Every day for a long time, he just kept disrupting our operations no matter what we do. So I made the decision to make everyone lay low and try to conserve our resources, albeit far too late. Still, I know I have what it takes to go through my plans… But one part is uncertain, everything that has to do with your collaborators.” Zama asks once again about Al and Maggie… “Which side are they on? If I want to get rid of our leader, what would they do?”

“W-Wait, you’re just admitting that you want him d-dead?!” Clyde can’t believe it.

“You already know that. So why would that concern me?” Zama tilts his head. “I know our leader is using you to blackmail them, but to do what exactly? Were they hired to get rid of me? And what would they do if I let you and your father escape? Would they forget his whole thing happened? They took down one of my best men, so I know they are capable of posing a threat. But I just need to know a little bit…”

“I know why you wanted to talk to me.” You can take a wild guess about them.

“In the end, I have 2 questions… Will they interfere with my plans? What would they do if I let you free? Give me your thoughts.” Zama wants to listen.

Do you think Al and Maggie will interfere with Zama’s plans?

>No. They have nothing to do with this and they don’t know about Zama at all.
>Yes. But that’ll be a side-effect of what they are trying to accomplish.
>Yes. They are being blackmailed by the Min-Hu Boss after all. They don’t get to choose.

It'll change things if Zama himself contacts Alfred and co. to give them the rundown. Isolated and out of the loop regarding the mafia stuff happening in secret, Alfred's only goal is to kill Aleister at all costs. Then again, escaping from under the Min-Hu boss's thumb is a side-goal, isn't it? Does Masen know about the Min-Hu boss blackmailing Alfred with the phone call? If not, then that also changes things on this end of the plot.

You give him your thoughts; you don’t believe they have anything to do with this and they don’t know or care about Zama at all – the only thing they want is to get rid of Aleister Price in peace. You stress the fact that their only goal is to beat up Aleister ‘cause he’s a massive dick and that everything involving the mafia is accidental.

Zama looks right into your eyes, waiting for them to waver or any sort of clue to distrust your words. You’re convinced that what you said it’s true, so if he gets the wrong idea it is because of his own paranoia. Zama sighs…

“If my men weren’t resting to heal their wounds, all this waiting would’ve been a waste of time…” Zama can’t believe what he’s hearing. “Are they strong enough to beat up Aleister?”

“We were training to do that!” You know for sure Aleister is getting beaten, it’s just a matter of time.

“Oi, that guy is not human! Unless you had a shotgun, I don’t think any amount of training can do anythin’ to him.” Clyde gets hung up on that point.

“If I heard another person praise that squared faced bastard, I’m going to break their face.” You retort.

“Y-You got the right spirit though…!” Clyde looks nervous. Hey, you finally look threatening! In other circumstances, that would be something to celebrate for.

“Masen Reid, as the head of the Vatalaro Family, I humbly apologize to you and your family for everything we have done to you.” Zama bows down to look as apologetic as he can.

“Huh?!” Clyde doesn’t not believe what is happening.

“Isn’t it a little late for something like that?” After all you and your dad have gone through, he needs to do far more than that to even think about letting this go in some form.

“It’s never late to work out a deal.” Zama has a plan…

Zama is offering one last deal: He will immediately grant you and your dad your freedom if you convince Al and Maggie not to follow the Min-Hu boss’ orders, whatever those might be. That simple. Sounds too good to be true…

“D-Don’t do it, bro…! T-There is somethin’ fishy goin’ on here!” Clyde starts shaking his cell’s bars.

Out of the blue, someone bursts inside the room, it’s some random thug in anguish.

“B-Boss! TERRIBLE NEWS!” The guy shouts all scared.

“What is it? Be quick, I’m in the middle of something. I don’t mind these two listening.” Zama doesn’t want to be interrupted.

“A-Aleister Price has declared war on us…! He s-says he’s coming to destroy this whole place and recover the bucket! Like, literally!” The thug shouts.

“B-But we don’t have that stupid bucket… What is he talking about?” Zama is confused and worried.

“Sir, it’s not like we can reason with him! W-What are we going to do…?! He’s going to ruin everything!” The thug is having a meltdown. “I don’t know when, in the same message he says he’s coming here either tomorrow or the day after, or even the day after that! Or during the week!”

“S-Sounds like an absentminded guy...” Zama shakes his head. “We have no other option but to go with our plans as soon as possible.”

“But we can’t prepare everything in a day! What are we going to do?! Nobody can stop him…!”

“Stop him…?” Zama fixes his eyes on you. “You said you were training to defeat him, correct? Masen, I’ll need your collaborators to deal with Aleister and gain us enough time. I’ll grant you and your father’s freedom back after that. I promise.”

How do you respond?!

“I accept. I’ll convince them.” You believe everything is coming together.

“G-Gah!” Clyde can’t believe you’re going with this.

“Excellent. I’ll get everything ready to get the call going, I’ll be back in an hour or so. I need to deal with the chaos that must be upstairs…” Zama must think everything is turning out for the better now.

You hope Al and Maggie are ready to do this…!

Meanwhile in Hamje…

[DAY 23/MONDAY]

You open your eyes still disoriented about what happened, every second awake makes you realize the nightmare you just experienced is real. Your memories are forever tainted by that moment. These scars will never heal. God is dead and soon you will all follow. You won’t talk about it or you’ll have another existential crisis…

You feel weak, your head feels heavy and your throat is soar… You check your phone and it’s past 3:00 AM. It’s late. You look around and become aware that you’re back at your apartment, and in the living room for that matter. You’re the centerpiece of a new slumber party, everyone using you as a pillow. Your teammates appear to have followed your methods for intensive care, it makes you happy in a strange way. You never expected to be on the receiving end of this treatment…

You didn’t want to worry them to this extent.

“Hey country boy, you wanna talk outside, or do you wanna rest…?” Odetta realized you’re awake.

How do you respond?

“Sure…” You need some fresh air. You gently put Bruce to the side, then move Maggie out of the way.

“Easy there, you’re not in great shape.” Odetta wants you to be careful.

“Look who’s talking…” You stand up and start stretching.

“Y’know I’m right, blockhead.” Odetta didn’t like your sassiness. “Let’s go…”


It’s a beautiful starry night outside. It must be a signal of great days coming after the tragedy that was yesterday. Odetta is leaning on the railing, while you’re standing next to her looking up. You took a sip of the bottle of water you went for.


“Now tell me what the crap happened to you.” Odetta wants her damn answers right now.

“Nothing.” You deadpan.

“You were covered in blood from top to bottom, that’s not nothing.” Odetta glares at you.

“It was a papercut.” You deadpan again.

“What kind of paper? Chainsaw-like?” Odetta is not buying your well-crafted lies.

“Several papercuts.” You drink more water as casually as your acting abilities let you.

“Be honest, you damn doofus.” Odetta isn’t impressed.

“Didn’t you ask Cat anyway? Is my point of view that important?” You retort.

“She didn’t tell us a damn thing! She called us to go to the station, when we got there, she was crying waterfalls and begging for us to do something! When we asked what happened like any sane individual would, she told us that she was forbidden from saying it, that a terrible spell was used on her and the timeline could be distorted if she did something about it or something like that. You know her excuses.” Odetta explains, still mad at the event. “When things died down, of course we tried to take the answers out of her mouth, but she’s surprisingly resilient.”

“I see.” You wonder why Catastrovania kept this mystery up to this extent.

“Now tell me, or else we’ll have to repeat that routine on you, and nobody likes to watch the same act twice.” Odetta threatens.

“What happened to taking it easy…?”

Conveniently, your phone starts to ring. You tell Odetta to keep quiet while you answer it…

“Alfred, it’s me.” That voice…!

“Who’s this?” You’re not at your best yet.

“I-It’s Reid!” Masen sounds shocked.

“Masen? Is that really you?” You can’t believe your ears. Did he manage to escape or something? Does that mean Cat’s plan was for nothing?

“N-Not exactly.” Masen gives you a bad vibe.

“Is this conversation being taped?” You catch on to the red flag immediately.

“Y-Yes! But wait, that doesn’t matter! Listen to me!” Reid needs to say something.

How do you respond?

“What is it?” You’ll hear him out, you just need to make sure not say unnecessary stuff.

“I’ll try to be quick…” Masen poorly gets you up to date, he seems to omit some details, but thanks to the stuff you know, you’re able to fill the gaps:

One of the leaders of the Min-Hu Alliance (You assume Zama Vatalaro since he’s the most proactive one you’ve heard about.) offered you and Maggie a deal to help free Masen and his dad. You’ll have to keep Aleister occupied once he decides to invade the Min-Hu Alliance’s base one of these days, best case scenario is to beat him up, but they need you to buy some time foremost. They are not sure when Aleister is invading, since not even that idiot knows, but it will be during this week if they go by their letter. Aleister wants to retrieve the Bucket they have for some reason, but judging by Masen’s tone, they don’t think they have it…

Since this is the same plan the actual Min-Hu Leader proposed to you way back, you assume they are not aware about what he was planning to do with you, and they are doing this behind his back. Also, they reached a critical point where they can’t defend themselves anymore, or they want to do something important and need a lot of firepower – and it will be soon or else they wouldn’t contact you at this time of the night. Whatever you do with this knowledge is up to you.

“So please, Al! They are spying on Aleister now, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare when they call you, you just need to show up.” Masen pleads, but something about his tone tells you there is more to this than what it seems.

“Let me think this over...” You’re not working at your best at 4 AM in the morning. “Can we negotiate with whoever is proposing this?”

“N-No…” Masen sounds disappointed as well.

How do you respond?

>“Yeah, sure. It’s whatever.” Nothing really changes here if you’re honest…
>“Trust us, Masen.” Hang up. You’re not accepting this deal.

“It's Zama Vatalaro, isn't it? He's right there next to you, listening in.” You decide to drop these pretenses. “I would rather not talk with him now, seeing as it’s too early, but if he's busy later just give the phone to him.”

“Hmph…” Reid is trying to process what you just said. “Hey, he knows about you and wants to talk.” He tells Zama most likely. Whoever that is asks him to repeat what exactly you said, and Reid repeats it. It takes less than a few seconds for the phone to change hands.

“Hello? You want to talk to me? I was told you weren’t aware of my existence.” Zama sounds confused. “This is quite a problem. You do understand what position you’re in, right…? I have full right to act defensive now, it’s a miracle I haven’t decided to hang up.”

“Yeah, yeah. I have 5 things to tell you, most of them are questions, we can work a deal afterwards. You’re busy, so let’s do this quick.” You’ll see if it’s worth dealing with him or not first.

“I suppose nothing I just said matters to you. Ask away.” Zama gives up with the intimidation.

“One: Do you have the Bucket?”

“I don’t believe so, but everyone seems to think we do, so I’ll look around for it. There is a treasure vault in the place I’m currently at, but I don’t usually work here, so I’m not aware if it has it or not.” Zama states.

“Two: Are you sincere about your offer to free Masen and his dad?”

“Yes, I am. We have no use for them and having prisoners is more trouble than they are worth.” Zama is hiding something. They hold some value to him for some reason… “We can deal with the police if they decide to report it to the authorities.”

“Three: Aleister is mine. Anybody kills him, the deal is off.”

“I understand.” Zama has no gripes about it.

“Four: What are your goals with the Min-Hu boss?”

“I need to eliminate him so I can take over the Alliance.” Zama is being way too honest.

“Five:…” You tell him what the Min-Hu boss told you. You reassure you’re in this to get back at Aleister for what he did to you.

“You must be quite skilled if he was counting on all of you to get rid of Aleister.” Zama doesn’t sound surprised or altered by what he heard. “But in the end, it is a drowning man’s last shout before the inevitable.”

“That’s all I have to say.” You finish your bottle of water…

“I don’t have much time. Are you willing to work this deal or not?” Zama is in a hurry to get this done.

It appears they are more desperate than you anticipated.

How do you respond?

>“What are you hiding regarding Masen and his dad? If you don’t tell me there is no deal.”
>“You should release them both and stop wasting your time here and deal with your boss now. I don’t think you have much time.”

“What are you hiding regarding Masen and his dad? If you don’t tell me there is no deal.” You will put some pressure in this negotiation based on your intuition.

“Excuse me? I don’t seem to understand.” Zama plays dumb.

“I didn’t like the tone of your voice when you answered me if you’re going to free them or not.” You are more precise.

“What are you insinuating? That I wouldn’t hold onto my word?” Zama continues his charade. When he’s lying, he maintains a far less natural steady tone of voice, he sounds calm, but not that composed.

“All I can tell is that you’re hiding something.” You put it in simple words.

“…You’re quite sharp.” Zama sounds surprised as he relents. “My men told me that the old man is hiding something, he has admitted as much but he refuses to tell us. I believed at first it was related to all of you, but later I realize it was something else, something bigger.”

“So he’s withholding information and you aren’t sure if it is useful to you?” You ask.

“No, I’m sure it’s useful, he has gone through great lengths to keep this secret from us. It’s suspicious.” Zama retorts.

“And what great lengths are those?” You want to know what they have done to him.

“Don’t play dumb. We have gone off topic long enough, do you accept the deal or not?” Zama offers one more time after answering your query, leaving you with more doubts than at first.

You don’t like this.

How do you respond?

“I accept, but if you don’t hold your part of the deal. You’re going to be next.”

“If you manage to defeat him, I’m sure I don’t want that to happen.” Zama casually responds. He doesn’t sound like he wants anything to do with you in that regard. “Like your collaborator mentioned, you’ll receive a call when it’s time, but you will have plenty of time to prepare. I must go now, I’ll send your regards to your collaborator.” Zama hangs up. You never sent Masen anything. You don’t know why this bothers you.

“Hmph…” You put your phone back to your pocket.

“If you’re wondering, I heard everything, phones are really loud at this time of the night.” Odetta smirks like she always does. “So, are we dropping Catastrovania’s plan? Or did you promise that so your friend doesn’t get hurt? From what I recall, nobody is really sure what you all look like, so there is no reason to drop it. You can’t trust these thugs.”

“Well, I—”

Before you can answer, your phone rings again. You take the call.

“You have permission to deal with Aleister now.” It was an abrupt call from the Min-Hu boss… Seriously, at 4 AM? What is he thinking?

“These guys have terrible timing…” Odetta rolls her eyes. “So you were saying…?”

Do you go for the Cat’s convoluted yet somewhat sound plan?

>Yes. Odetta is right, you can’t trust these people.

“Yes, we’re going with Cat’s plan. We can’t trust these people.” You have no reasons to trust Zama or his boss, so it is a waste of time following their orders.

“Good, no idea why I was worried you were going to say otherwise, but hey, it’s late and all.” Odetta has you in high regard despite calling you stupid every now and then. “Oh yeah, I know why I was worried, I have no idea what happened to you yesterday!”

“Is that so?” You start playing with your bottle.

“Are you going to tell me or not…?” Odetta is being direct now that you ignore her passive aggressiveness.

“No.”

“I can’t believe you have a harder time opening about this than with your family issues…” Odetta feels like this is a bad joke.

“If I tell you that I feel fine, would that be enough?” You don’t want her to worry.

“Of course not.” Odetta frowns.

“That’s the best you’re going to get.” You won’t entertain her anymore.

“Can’t a good friend be concerned about her good pal?” Odetta wiggles her eyebrows.

“Your concern has been acknowledged; I’m telling you I’m fine, good friend.”

“You start sweating every time I mention it.” Odetta glares at you.

“It’s a coincidence.” You put that level 5 acting to use.

“No, it’s not a coincidence. What do you take me for? Maggie?” Odetta doesn’t buy it. She saw right through you like you’re a second-rate theater graduate. “We found you trying to pass as a ketchup dispenser for crying out loud, I can’t live that down.”

“It was a traumatic, yet unimportant event.” You try to give her somewhat of a clue so she can relax.

“Like graduation…?” Odetta makes a bad joke… you think. “Why do I have the hunch that this is something really stupid?”

“Who knows?” You shrug.

“I’m going to assume it is, just so I can stop tormenting you, I feel like you just sweat all the water you just drank…” Odetta points out. “My uncle always said great men keep a secret or two, but don’t take that as a compliment, my uncle was a dumbass too... C’mon, fit boy, you need a nap to live down those memories...”

You wonder why Odetta is pushing you to sleep, but seeing as you don’t have much to do at this time of the night, it would be wise to follow her idea…

What do you do?

“You haven’t told me why you spied on my father.”

“Look, you just now decided to keep your mouth shut and I agreed to let it go, but now you want answers from me. I don’t mind telling you, but I want you to keep that in your brain for next time I decide I don’t wanna tell you something, understood?” Odetta is clearly one salty ghost.

“I will, but unlike what happened to me, this is serious.” You defend your actions.

“Keep telling yourself that…” Odetta has issues believing you easily. “Now, onto what you’re concerned with…”

Odetta explains that she was hired by the Clever Path Goal Corporation (CPGC) to spy on all the store owners of the Shopping Street in Laoling: Hank Brown, Jean-Loup Reid, Sara Nguyen, Jaroslav Yevtushenkov, just to name a few. She needed to get vital information about their personal lives and their stores — so they could demolish their stores, buy the land and start a big project: a big resort and a shopping center.

Odetta learned this after the fact, CPGC belongs to Saionji group, the same group of companies directly tied to the Price Family.

In general, CPGC wanted to invest in your town, but they were scared because they commissioned some market studies that show that the townsfolk prefer buying first and foremost at their local shops without fault over new national chain stores like Super Foods. So that explains why you never got a Jackey Frosties around…

So instead of competing, they decided to destroy you all like the cowards they are. Perhaps Aleister destroying your store wasn’t even a coincidence to begin with, well it never was after the first time, but still. Also, you knew Super Foods was in the gutter, but nobody believed you! You already beat Aleister once! You can do it again!

“W-What’s up with the prideful look on your face…?” Odetta gets weirded out.

“Nothing.” You solemnly exclaim. “I have a question.”

“What is it? I-I seriously didn’t check on ‘em until I got my body back, I confirmed everything a couple of days ago, I-I was planning on tellin’ you, I swear…” Odetta gets defensive.

“So the whole Aleister story you told us was a complete lie, right?” You remember a kid on his deathbed and all.

“Kinda? It’s like 4 real stories in 1. I had to puzzle back my memories into something you would believe.” Odetta recalls.

“So there are 4 stories you haven’t told me…” You stroke your chin.

“1 of them is yours, I didn’t know the Aleister kid existed and I knew you would feel sympathy for me if I added him somewhere. The second one I just told you… The other two, maybe next time.” Odetta grins. “Now let’s go to sleep, I don’t want to keep you awake…”

“Right…” You walk back to the apartment.

As you open the door, you encounter a wild beast… Ascended Maggie.

“Allie… You’re alive…” Ascended Maggie’s tears are pure…

“Stop acting weird, Maggie.” You believe her antics have gone for far too long. “Now let’s go back to sleep… I’m tired.” You walk past Maggie towards your spot.

“H-Huh…?” Ascended Maggie wipes her tears away confused by what you said. “B-But…”

Sssh… Be quiet, I don’t want Brucey to yell at us again…” Odetta whispers as she follows your lead.

As Ascended Maggie realizes nobody is going to pay much attention to her tomfoolery, she decides to quietly join back to sleep with you as well. Her anxiety disappears once you let her head rest on your chest again like nothing happened. You’re not used to this at all, but sleeping in the same room with everyone raises morale and tomorrow, more than any day, you’ll need it at its peak. Though, you happen to notice with each time you do this, the distance between your friends grows smaller and smaller. It’s… different to say the least.

Tomorrow, you’re most likely going to do Operation Stygian Counter Act, that is if you’re in the condition to do it. Regardless, it is an exciting prospect that you have no alternative but to succeed doing that, and you will, because you believe you and your friends can pull it off after all you’ve done together.

After a minute of thinking things over, your tiredness took over and made you fall asleep completely…



During the night before dozing off you noticed that the gap between you all while sleeping was getting smaller each time, right? Well, Maggie decided to trample on all the subtlety of this sign of growing friendship and she’s sleeping on you like you’re her bed mattress.

“…” The reason she woke you up is that she started kissing on the chest while sleeping… It tickles.

You’re half an hour away from waking up at the time you always do, but you’re tired, you know you need more sleep.

What do you do?

>Start the routine now. Be an earlier bird.
>Wake up Maggie, tell her to stop.
>Push Maggie aside and try to conceal sleep again.

You pull Maggie closer to you, hold her tight in your arms, almost like cuddling together…





Just to push her farther away from you. So long, Maggie. Right now, you need to rest as much as you can!



Maggie flails in the air while still somehow asleep and lands head first on Catastrovania’s torso.

Guuh…” Catastrovania complains as she takes the whole impact. She doesn’t bother to wake up despite the pain, and tries to push Maggie away.

“ZzzZz…” Maggie was unaffected by this and remains asleep like a mountain goat as her body slowly descends into a comfortable position, using Cat as a pillow – refusing to move or let Cat go.



Nobody is going to believe what just happened, but you’re glad you have some space again to sleep pleasantly. Time to sleep.



It’s morning proper, an hour later from your usual wake up time, you feel rested but not fully energized. Nobody is awake as of yet, they all look so stupid, also Maggie came back to her original spot before she decided to be on top of you. You stretch…

(Sorry, I had this ready before I saw the tie.)


The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived, it’s time to get Operation Stygian Counter Act undergoing, you’re going to save Masen and his dad from the Min-Hu Alliance’s hands. You wake up everyone and tell them to get ready, today is the day. Everyone takes turns to shower and then you all get together to eat breakfast. After that, Bruce hands everyone their uniforms from the Laoling Cleaning Company, it’s a normal cyan janitor uniform with nothing going on except for a hat. It’s a nice hat. You all change…

“Fufufu~, the time has arrived!” Catastrovania pretends to be all excited but her legs are shaking.

“Why do I have to wear the stupid unform? I’m going to astral project…” Odetta is the first one to object to this decision.

“You’ll stay in the van on your own, we must not raise any suspicion.” You remind her that she’s going physically as well.

“Heeey, Allie. How do I look? You like it? Hmmm…?” Maggie opens her uniform to show some skin for you. You thought she returned to her old self, but as the morning goes on, the flirtier she gets. You’ll call her, Nightmare Maggie.

“S-Stop that…” Bruce wants her to stop bugging you.

“Hey! Don’t take a look! It’s only for Allie and stuff!” Maggie covers herself from Bruce.

“I’m not interested, I have a girlfriend.” Bruce shakes his head.

“Hey congrats. Is it Lorena?” You’re happy for your pal.

“Y-Yeah… Hehe…” Bruce gets happily embarrassed just thinking about it. That means that yesterday he went on a date after his punishment. Good for him.

“Oh Brucey, you’ve grown up so much…” Odetta pretends to cry.

“We’re proud of you, Bruce.” Catastrovania interjects as well.

“W-Why d-does this feel so phony coming from you two…?” Bruce feels the weight on his shoulder from the fake words of praise from those two.

“Let’s get into the car, during the ride we’ll discuss the details.” You want the group to move on.

As you go to Laoling to face this difficult challenge, you have a couple of hours to kill before arriving, and nothing is better for that than refining the details with everyone. You bring them up to speed with what happened during the morning as well…

“So any ideas on how to recover the bucket?” You ask Cat what’s important first.

“There is no special security in that room, or anyone guarding it. Just the weird locks, and I checked, that dumb bucket is the bucket...” Odetta hates that this is a thing you must do.

“We can’t split, we only have one set of keys. We’ll have to rush it after taking the hostages out, there is a big window where nobody moves on that floor, like an hour or so.” Catastrovania explains.

“Y-You said t-they are going to execute some kind of plan…? W-Wouldn’t that change things?” Bruce reminds you what you said while you were preparing.

“We just need to be alert for anything that comes up.” You don’t have time to waste.

“My body is staying in this van alone, right?” Odetta wants that confirmed. She’ll travel inside your phone like at the hospital.

It would be a good idea if someone stayed to guard the van and Odetta…

What do you do?

>Maggie is acting weird and you don’t like it. She’ll stay guarding Odetta.
>Bruce can drive the van off as soon as you get out. He’ll stay guarding Odetta.
>Catastrovania won’t take her blindfold off, so she might be too easy to recognize. She’ll stay guarding Odetta.
>Nobody is guarding Odetta.
>Write In.

If you have to split in pairs, with who you would want to go with?

>Maggie.
>Catastrovania.
>Bruce.

Meanwhile in Laoling…

Inside one of the meeting rooms inside the Laoling Activity Centre, a public building where the townsfolk gather to do random activities for people of all ages, like giving cooking lessons, doing literature club meetings, learning how to paint, give motivational speeches, do sports, discover who stole the city’s bucket and more! The Bucket Retrieving Group plans to tune in the final details for their plan to raid the 17th Office to recover the Bucket! They are waiting for the members to arrive and get this going…

“So Boris is not coming?” The recently appointed sole leader of the group, one of the Red Emitter Dancers Chloe Verninac asks the other members. Before it was co-leaded with Jean-Loup Reid, but he disappeared weeks ago.

“No, he said he can’t sneak out of home because he and his wife are too busy helping an abused girl they met settle down in town…” The other member, Iamar Lakhdar, who was forced to contribute to the town to earn the dance group’s forgiveness (by recovering the bucket of course), says after hanging up the phone.

“Ha! That’s so nice of him!” Master Pete, Alfred and Maggie’s karate teacher, finds this humorous. He too cares about the town’s pride. “Right, Camilo?”

“I come back one day to visit my parents, and I’m about to invade a tour agency…” Camilo looks down. His parents forced him to help find the bucket since they were too old to do it themselves…

“Still hung up on that? You’re doing the whole town a great favor by joining us!” Pete is all smiles.

“It’s just that I keep forgetting how impulsive and pushy my parents are...” Camilo sighs.

“Either way, we really appreciate your help here!” Chloe is all smiles though. “Still, what’s this poor girl’s name? Maybe we can help her out after this!”

“Siske.” Iamar says, then everyone else in the room reacts all disgusted. “W-What’s wrong…?”

“N-Nothing! N-Nevermind that, we have a bucket to find!” Chloe changes topics to what they really care about.

Meanwhile, in the 17th Office…

At the Underground level, in the prison cells.

“C’mon! Listen to me! We need to stop this war!” Clyde, the other prisoner besides Masen and Jean-Loup, yells at the two guards.

“Look, it’s just our first day, we have no idea what you’re talking about.” Guard A, previously let go from working at the Great Care, recently fired from Hamje’s Shopping Centre – and now hired by the Min-Hu Alliance.

“Yeah, just calm down. That dude over there needs some rest.” Guard B, Guard A’s partner in crime (who also shares his job situation), points at a wounded Jean-Loup in Reid's cell.

“Psst… Like I care about my EX-BRO!” Clyde is furious with Masen after he decided to work a deal with Zama Vatalaro.

“I was never your bro! Shut up!” Masen wants some silence for his father to rest.

“Yeah, I can tell that now, EX-BRO!” Clyde is still an idiot.

“Do you want me to change his bandages, he’s looking pretty rough.” Guard B tries to be nice.

“It’s… fine…” Jean-Loup waves them off. “Masen… c’mere… it’s important…”

“W-What is it, dad?” Masen gets closer.

“If you manage to get out of here… You need to recover the bucket…” Jean-Loup whispers.

“Not that again…” Masen facepalms.

“L-Listen to me… the bucket has… Dorothy’s legacy…” Jean-Loup grabs his son’s t-shirt and looks him right in the eyes.

What…?” Masen is confused.

At one of the meeting rooms.

The two of them alone, Zama Vatalaro meets with an old friend from his high school days, Ascher Mendel, both members of the Youhao Clan now – but before they tried to reveal the biggest corruption case in the country's recent history…

“Zinon?! Y-You’re alive?! Y-You were the guy who kept sending those secret messages…? Y-You were the one who saved me…?” Ascher can’t believe it. He was sent as special reinforcements to help Zama with his plans.

“Don’t call me like that again. I’m Zama Vatalaro now.” Zama tenderly smiles. “I’m just glad you believed me back then…”

“But my boss... my boss didn’t care… I couldn’t save him! That damn Youhao, he killed him…! He set him up!” Ascher punches the wall. “He killed Servello too! For fuck’s sake!”

“Yes, I got the news. I’m sorry for your loss.” Zama looks down, feeling all guilty, he had an amicable relationship with Ascher’s boss Rikidozan. He doesn’t know who Servello is though. “We’ll get back at him. I just need today’s plan to go brilliantly.”

“Yeah, consider it done! I’m not going to fail this time! I’m tired of people dying under my care!” Ascher shows off some bravado.

“Thank you.” Zama gets all serious. “But I have bad news I must tell you, it’s in regards to the others. I had Rhys stick with them to know what they were up to. But…”

“No! Don’t fuckin’ tell me…” Ascher opens his eyes wide.

Ascher gets the unfortunate news that Jaylene, Rhys, Oliver and Odetta are dead…

“Yes, los Iluminados will do everything in our power to make sure the Min-Hu Alliance ends up in your care. We cannot allow the Youhao Clan to keep spreading its influence.” Tully rubs his hands with a smile on his face.

“With the cult in flames, we have a chance.” Penelope looks up with a glass of whisky in her hands. She lifts it up. “I hope your plan works, boss.” She drinks it.

“Hehe, like I told ya, they are more wounded than they appear to be.” Tully starts chuckling.

At Aleister’s modest multimillionaire house in Laoling

In the living room, Aleister and Ichie are sitting on a circular couch with a large table in the middle. Aleister is comfortable in the middle of it, while Ichie is in the corner, with her bodyguards standing up behind her. Aleister is telling Ichie what he’s planning to do.

“B-But Aleister, your dear brother hasn’t approved of this, correct? As your closest consultant, I must tell you to refrain from taking action!” Ichie is concerned about Aleister’s well-being.

“Shut up! I don’t care! Can’t you tell I’m at my limit?! I’m tired of following his orders! I want retribution! My honor has been tainted!” Aleister shouts back.

“Y-Your sense of justice is unparalleled, dear Aleister! It’s so noble of you that you lasted this long!” Ichie agrees that it’s time to take action.

“Yeah! JUSTICE ALWAYS MOVES ME! These lowlifes think I stole their bucket!? HA! How blind are they?! They think I sin like them?! I’m the goodest guy! I don’t steal! For them to even think of it pisses me off!” Aleister is all pissed. “Everything I do is for the benefit of everyone! Always! ALWAYS!”

“Yes, the only thing you steal is people’s hearts with your kind actions!” Ichie agrees.

“I just SAID I DON’T STEAL!” Aleister shouts.

“I-It’s a metaphor…” Ichie doesn’t know what to say.

“Metaphorically, figuratively AND hypothetically; I’m ALWAYS the GOOD guy! AAAAAAH!” Aleister stomps on the floor harder and harder. “They pointed their fingers at me and said I DID IT! I ask WHO ARE THEY TO TELL ME I’M THE BADDIE, HUH?! Who the heavens do they think they are TO TAKE JUSTICE IN THEIR OWN HANDS?! Justice is sacred! They aren’t righteous! I’ll punish ‘em! I’LL FIND THEIR BUCKET AND DESTROY IT! HAHAHAHA!”

“Indeed, it’s just a dirty bucket! How it can symbolize such a nice town is beyond me.” Ichie shakes her head.

“Yes! They’ll find something really worthy to worship! The righteous! The virtuous! The incorruptible! I’ll show ‘em! I’ll show ‘em!” Aleister cannot wait anymore. “We must go, Saionji! I’M ALREADY HEATED UP!”

“B-But, your dear brother hasn’t—”

Out of the blue, one of the doors bursts open, the sound interrupting Ichie, and a heavily bandaged Vender appears…

“VENDER! You’re finally up! WHO DID THIS TO YOU…?!” Aleister wants answers…!

Vender will reveal to these two what happened to him…

Back at the 17th Office…

At the Min-Hu Leader’s office…

The leader is finishing a conversation by phone…

“So yes, senator, I acquired the land of those who were willing to sell now, so if you let him run amok and kill me, my partner from overseas will inherit it. And you and I both know turning this into an international affair with N.U. forces at the capital won’t be a wise idea.” The Min-Hu Leader cackles in victory. “So either stop your dumb brother from hurting me or say bye bye to your super resort! Your choice!”

“I applaud your cunning. It mustn’t have been easy to figure all this out, clever individuals like you are still out in the world. Truly magnificent.” Maximum Price is on the other side of the call. “But even for such a clever mutt, making a foolish mistake was bound to happen, you see? I won’t allow lowlifes like you to insult my dear family. I strongly believe in family values, you know? I’ll inform my brother that he’s free to do as he wants. Judgment day is coming for you. I advise you to use the land to build your own graveyard. PYAHahHAha!”

“W-W-W—W-W-Wait…!” The Min-Hu Leader doesn’t know what to do.

“Funerals are so sad, but lives have to part away – that’s the circle of life. Nature runs its course. What a shame.” Maximum hangs up.

“…”

Back to the Van.

You already reached Laoling, and you’re awfully close to the office. Odetta already did the deed and sabotaged Laoling Cleaning Company’s phone line, and Catastrovania sent the fake message as well. You have another paper to validate it too.

“Y-Y-You sure that I’m staying?” Bruce wants to make sure this is a good idea again…

“Yes, we need our getaway driver ready.” You stress again.

“If I only knew how to drive…” Catastrovania mutters to herself.

“Same…” Maggie is in the same boat.

“Imagine living for hundreds of years and not learning how to drive.” Odetta mocks Catastrovania.

“Fufufu… I developed far better skills than those.” Catastrovania defends herself.

“And none good enough to save you now.” Odetta fires back.

You see the building in all its magnificence… Living in Hamje screwed up your sense of size, this is the largest building in all Laoling and it’s not a big deal to you anymore.

“Well, h-here is the parking lot.” Bruce parks right behind the building.

“You guys ready?” You ask everyone before dispatching your forces.

They all shake their heads…



What a team.

What do you do?

INFILTRATION 101
>>
>>4568824
So at the same time Al and co infiltrate the big building to recover the bucket, free Masen and his father, and kill Aleister, these four random people are teaming up to invade the building themselves? There's no way some janitor outfits are going to prevent them from being outed.
>>4568827
>the bucket has… Dorothy’s legacy
The same Dorothy who was a researcher working on the flame entities back in Peaceful Times with Johnny's mom and Dr. Bombastus. The same fat Dorothy who is Lise's mom in DYBQ and got killed offscreen. The same fat Dorothy whose computer tower and files have been sitting looted in Johnny's bedroom corner, plot hooks buried and forgotten, for almost the entirety of DYBQ until he finally passed them on to Neko and Nina.
>Guard A, previously let go from working at the Great Care, recently fired from Hamje’s Shopping Centre – and now hired by the Min-Hu Alliance.
>Guard B, Guard A’s partner in crime (who also shares his job situation)
The Great Care was... something to do with the Cult of Chernabog? Some other significant faction? I completely forgot
>>4568830
>Ascher Mendel
He looks strangely like Amelia's dad Joel Tomah.
>“But my boss... my boss didn’t care… I couldn’t save him! That damn Youhao, he killed him…! He set him up!” Ascher punches the wall. “He killed Servello too! For fuck’s sake!”
>“Yes, I got the news. I’m sorry for your loss.” Zama looks down, feeling all guilty, he had an amicable relationship with Ascher’s boss Rikidozan. He doesn’t know who Servello is though. “We’ll get back at him. I just need today’s plan to go brilliantly.”
Man, all these fucking mafia guys in all these damn sideplots make it hard to track what's going on and why and how. Same as real life, I suppose. But he's saying "that damn Youhao" killed him. Wasn't it The Behemoth that killed Rikidozan and the other guy Servello at the Grand Hospital of Pokyo Lokyo during Judgment Day? Or is something else going on we don't know about?
>Ascher gets the unfortunate news that Jaylene, Rhys, Oliver and Odetta are dead…
Jaylene and Rhys died to Strawberry on Judgment Day, in that secret holding area base whatever under the 1-Plus Toy Factory. Oliver is still alive as Leo Watty. Odetta is still fucking alive and with Al and co. Did Zama/Zinon not know Odetta was alive, or is he lying to his closest living friend Ascher to manipulate him?
>>4568833
>The leader of the Traditionalist branch, Penepole Don Sato is having a meeting with Los Iluminados’ spokesman, Tully.
Oh shit it's that secret underground hobo spy network. That rat-faced fuck Al got info from early in SPR is this fucker. It all comes down to the two mafia factions, doesn't it?
>Penelope looks up with a glass of whisky in her hands. She lifts it up. “I hope your plan works, boss.” She drinks it.
>“I wasn’t talking to you.” Penelope had to make this awkward.
Then who is she talking to? Musing about the previous boss that "choked on broccoli" and was actually set up by somebody else?
>>
>>4568834
>modest multimillionaire house
Yeah, sure, "modest"
>your dear brother hasn’t approved of this
So Aleister is really his older brother's wild animal hound?
>It’s so noble of you that you lasted this long!
Is that meant to sound backhanded?
>every single line out of Ichie's mouth
She's just a dumb enabler yes-man. Part of me still thinks she's brainwashed to be this way, or severely indoctrinated.
>every single line out of Aleister's mouth
Al was right. This guy IS an insane wild animal foaming at the mouth with every word he speaks. I think Aleister's one of the most deluded people across both DYBQ and SPR. All three of him, Ichie, and Vender are total psychos. Every single one of them needs to be killed, full stop. There's no saving or redeeming any of them.
>>4568837
>if you let him run amok and kill me, my partner from overseas will inherit it
I wonder who he's talking about. When he says "partner", is he talking about somebody he's working with in his law firm? It would be "Hae-Seong & (insert name here)" the way law firms are usually named.
>Ubaldo Hae-Seong won’t be able to cheat death this time.

>>4569605
>until he finally passed them on to Neko and Nina.
Johnny hasn't done that yet

>The Great Care was... something to do with the Cult of Chernabog? Some other significant faction? I completely forgot
The Great Care was the hospital Heidi worked at, no relation to the cult

>Wasn't it The Behemoth that killed Rikidozan and the other guy Servello at the Grand Hospital of Pokyo Lokyo during Judgment Day? Or is something else going on we don't know about?
Youhou gave Riki the crystal to guard knowing it'd be a suicide mission

>Did Zama/Zinon not know Odetta was alive, or is he lying to his closest living friend Ascher to manipulate him?
I mean, as far as the world was concerned, Odetta was dead until recently

>Every single one of them needs to be killed, full stop. There's no saving or redeeming any of them.
Holy shit, dude, calm down

>Was there a previous time? Is that supposed to be the video taken outside the flower shop, or in some other instance we don't know about?
He's been trying to avoid getting killed by almost everybody for the entire quest

I mean, only one really deserves death, or to wish for it at least. The rest are either creeps or weirdos, and should be treated proportionally.

“We’re all going in anyway.” You don’t have any other option.

“We’re, like, joking, Allie. Relax. We’ll get this done.” Maggie tries to play this up as something it wasn’t.

“Y-Yeah, joking…” Catastrovania looks to the side with pessimism.

“Before I astral project, what’s gotten into you this time…?” Odetta is bothered by Nightmare Maggie’s new personality.

“Me? Allie told me to stop acting strange, and since I was making everyone uncomfortable anyway, I decided to relax a bit!” Maggie doesn’t believe she has done anything weird. “So don’t worry, I’m totally fine!”

“As long as it doesn’t screw things up…” Odetta goes into ghost form and into your phone.

“We’ll go inside and do our work like normally. Only inform them about what happened if they ask.” You make clear to the girls. They both nod in response.

“G-Good luck everyone.” Bruce gives you good vibes before going. “O-Odetta will call me if you g-get into trouble. S-So, if anything happens, try to g-gain as much time as you can.”

You all exit the van with some random ass cleaning equipment Bruce brought just in case to dissimulate better. You all go through the main entrance without issues, the place is quite nice to look at and it’s neatly decorated to appear as a tourist office, the receptionist doesn’t even acknowledge your presence in any way, and there is no else on this floor.

“I was expecting 2 guys here…” Catastrovania informs you. “Security is more lax than usual.”

“That’s good, isn’t it?” Maggie is quite optimistic.

“The idea was to play our roles for a little while until they stopped following us.” Catastrovania points out. “B-But it’s pointless if no one is around…”

What do you do?

Having information is imperative to get this done even if you’re tight on time, so asking the receptionist about everyone’s whereabouts is a must. But remember, you must get out of here in less than 2 hours.

“We’ll ask the receptionist where everyone is.” You whisper in response. Maggie and Catastrovania both nod in agreement, they are more focused than you were expecting, you’re proud of how far they have come.

You get closer to the receptionist and pretend to be in a good mood. You’ll channel your inner El Smooth for this (may he rest in peace).

“Hey there, can I ask you something?” You act as friendly as you can. With your overdeveloped acting skills it comes as incredibly natural. Both Maggie and Catastrovania are caught off guard by this, but aside from her initial reaction they don’t do anything.

“Y-Yes? What is it?” The girl behind the desk gets flustered for some reason. “I mean, how can I help?”

“Where is everyone today?” You act all puzzled by this.

“I heard everyone is in a special meeting at one of the conference rooms on the 5th floor. You shouldn’t start over there today unless you want to get into trouble, y’know how they’re like.” The receptionist informs.

“And when does the meeting end?”

“I don’t know.” The receptionist shakes her head.

“Thanks, sweetie.” You walk away to the others. “You heard her…” You whisper to your team.

“So the cell key is going to be harder to get until the conference is done...” Catastrovania points out. “It’s the perfect chance to get to the janitor’s room though.”

You remind yourself that you’re planning on getting the regular master key and a laundry cart on the 3rd floor first. Then wait for Odetta to sabotage the Security Room on the 2nd floor, and finally take your chance to grab the cell key on the 5th one while the cameras are off.

What do you do?

>Go to the 3rd Floor since there doesn’t appear to be any danger.
>Look around the 2nd floor just in case. If you sabotage it while nobody is inside, you’ll look way too suspicious later.
>Send Odetta to spy on the meeting while you pretend to be Janitors. You need to know what’s going on.

“Yeah, let’s use this window to get what we need first on the list.” Perfect moment to get to the Janitor’s room. “Let’s get to the 3rd floor.”

“Sounds good to me. Let’s, like, use the elevator since we’re carrying all this stuff.” Maggie is as lazy as ever even if she’s trying to hide it under a whimsical attitude.

“I’m with her.” Lazy Catastrovania sure doesn’t mind joining. Both of them get closer to one of the 3 elevators and press the button to call it.

“Fine...” You felt like you had no choice.

Thankfully, nobody was inside the elevator once you all got inside it, you push the button for the third floor and it goes up as slowly as you imagine...

But your luck runs out in this regard because once you reach the 2nd floor, the door opens and a woman a little taller than you comes in. She has a mean look on her face, she has silky smooth hair, a nice hat and her body is oddly proportioned. She gets inside without giving it much thought about your presence. She pushes the button for the 5th floor.

“I don’t know who the genius was who put the women’s bathroom on the 2nd floor… Right?” She tries to lighten the mood with some small talk, but she comes out as very awkward.

What do you do?

Since it was her idea to get into the elevator, you nudge Maggie to respond to this strange looking lady.

“I don’t know either!” Maggie says whatever came to her mind first.

“He’s not much of a genius.” The lady nods.

“You’re damn right!” Maggie tries to suck up to her.

“……..” The woman silently turns around to look at Maggie right in the eye, you can tell your teammate is nervous, but she’s trying not to show it. “…I’m glad you agree with me.” That’s a complete tonal shift from what her original small talk was!

“I-It’s nothing!” Maggie doesn’t understand what’s going on.

Thankfully you arrived on the 3rd floor.

“Excuse us. This is our floor.” You ask politely as you make your way out.

“….” The lady lets you all go without obstructing you in any way.

The elevator closes and you hear it leave. You look around and it looks like a regular office, it’s just completely deserted, the silence itself is eerie.

“Well, that was, like, awkward…” Maggie shakes her head. “Who the hell was she?”

“I-I don’t know exactly, but based on what my secret network of spies recollected, she’s pretty important here!” Catastrovania reveals.

“W-Why didn’t you tell me?” Maggie didn’t like hearing that.

“H-How…?” Catastrovania knows it was too late.

“Focus.” You remind both why you are here.

“A-At the end of the hallway and to the left is the Janitor’s room.” Catastrovania points out.

As you get closer, you start to hear some rattling noises inside the room, the sound is amplified by the excruciating silence. Who could it be? A mafia guy? Another janitor? A thief? You indicate the girls to be quiet…

What do you do?

You indicate the girls to hold their position, you’ll try to open the door so slightly to peek inside. The girls stay frozen in place…

You grab the doorknob and slowly turn it sideways with delicacy, once you feel the door moving, you pull it without making a sound. You look at what is making all this noise inside…

It looks like one of the mafia thugs that seems oddly familiar to you for reasons you can’t recall right now. He’s making a mess of the place looking for something…

“Where is it…? Boss said it was in here…” The guy sounds cranky, and looks like he was injured not too long ago judging by the bandages.

You look back to the others and signal to them that there is someone inside...

What do you do?

“I’ll make those bastards pay for selling me out…” The cranky guy continues to talk to himself.

You decide it’s time to intervene.

“Excuse me, what are you doing here?” You pretend to be a confused janitor. He left the whole room a mess, and you can imagine you’re too underpaid to think this is worth cleaning up.

“Oh fuck!” Cranky man gets scared, he turns around expecting anything but a Janitor. He relaxes when he sees you. “You got me good, man. What am I doing here? I’m looking for something for the boss and I need it fast. So help me out.”

“Uhm, I don’t know how much I can be of help now that you left this whole place upside down.” You act like you don’t know what is where thanks to this.

“Doesn’t matter, tell me where your keys are! I need to go before the damn conference is done.” Cranky man wants you to hurry up and help him. “The keys for the whole place I mean.”

You can clearly see the keys hanging on the wall… He wants the keys you came for.

What do you do?

>“They are on the wall.” Point them out. Then when he gets distracted, bonk him on the head. Then tie him up and put him inside one of the lockers.
>“You seem mighty suspicious, sir. I don’t think you work here. I’m going to call security.” Pretend you’re afraid for your own wellbeing.

“And why do you need them?” You’ll keep acting oblivious just to get more information.

“Zama Vatalaro, our boss, needs them, that's all you need to know! But you need to keep real quiet about it too. Like, never say a word about me being here either or that this even happened. Understand?” The cranky guy wants you to comply.

“Why?” You pretend not to get it.

“Because this is a secret for… uh… a party! Yeah! We can’t let anyone know.” Cranky guy comes up with something.

“How are the keys going to help out for the party?” You want the whole picture.

“Errr… w-we lost the key for the meeting room we want to use… y-yeah.”

“Then use the key for another room. I believe you’re acting too suspicious.”

“F-Fine, I’ll tell ya… We need to reach the big boss’s office! It’s a secret surprise birthday party for the boss of bosses! A-Are you happy now? Can you help me find the damn keys or not?!” The guy starts really getting mad at you.

Maybe this is part of Zama’s scheme to take out the Min-Hu boss… If you mess with this, could this bring bigger consequences? Perhaps putting the whole Vatalaro Family on alert, which would mean you need to do the whole plan before the conference is over. If you don’t want to deal with them that is.

What do you do?

>“They are on the wall.” Point them out. Then when he gets distracted, bonk him on the head. Then tie him up and put him inside one of the lockers.
>“I see, they are on the wall, good luck with the party.” Point them out and let him leave. You’ll have to find another way to save the Reids.

We need the master key over anybody else in here. Get him to fuck off, then stick to the plan. Next stop is 5th floor.

Hold on

Did Penelope already sabotage the security room herself? And if so, how? If Odetta can notice that and report it to us later once she returns back to her living body, that can tell us what Penelope might have been planning on her end of things. She's definitely on Ubaldo's side and not Zama's here.

“The same boss nobody can talk about? I’m calling security, you’re mighty suspicious.” You threaten the guy and continue playing your role of an oblivious but hardworking janitor.

“W-Wait, if you call security, I’m gonna be in big trouble…!” The cranky guy looks desperate to convince you not to do it.

“Then I’ll suggest you leave before they get here.” You go for the door.

“S-Shit…!” The guy just ran for it, he tried to push you away while escaping, but he couldn’t even move you…

You’ll let this slide because you have better things to do. You can’t believe the guy didn’t find the keys, but now you have them. Maggie and Catastrovania make their way in here.

“W-What happened? Who was that guy?” Catastrovania is in alert mode.

“He didn’t notice us while he was running, I think.” Maggie doesn’t look worried about him.

You quickly explain what happened. You show them the keys.

“These are the ones we’re looking for, correct?”

“Yes…” Catastrovania double checks on her phone, she has all the information she gathered in there just in case.

“Let’s go to the 5th floor now!” Nightmare Maggie is happy that everything is going so swiftly.

“We need to send Odetta to tamper the security cameras first.” You point out.

You might want to prevent looking suspicious, so leaving things like this isn’t a smart move. But time is slowly ticking away…

What do you do while Odetta does her ghost tricks?

>Get as close as you can to the 5th floor. You need to move fast.

“Odetta, it’s your time to shine. Take the cameras out.” You pull out your phone to liberate the ghost.

“Gladly…” Odetta smirks before bursting out of your phone as a green volt and disappears after a second.

“Now, let’s take a laundry cart. Put some cleaning supplies inside just in case.” You start grabbing some of the stuff from the floor like a spray bottle and some bleach. Maggie does the same, and Catastrovania just watches. “Now let’s take this to the elevator, we need to be as close to the 5th floor as we can.” You don’t want to carry this stuff through the stairs, it can be troublesome.

“Aye, aye, Allie!” Maggie seems pumped up to continue.

“Ngh, we have to wait in the 4th floor, right? T-The receptionist lady told us not to meddle in the 5th one yet.” Catastrovania brings a good point.

“Yes, we will wait outside the elevator, we’ll pretend to clean the place. Worst case scenario we will have to carry the cart through the stairs.” You clarify.

“In case you forgot, we’ll be right next to the cafeteria, assistant.” Catastrovania reminds you.

“Right, let’s get moving.” You have no time to lose.

Now onto your next objective: the Cell key. You take the elevator with the girls just to move one floor thanks to the cart you’re parading. At least, no other person was inside. You arrive on the 4th floor, there is a big hall outside the entrance to the cafeteria. An area you’re going to pretend to clean with your broom until Odetta gets back.

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuu……..!” A high pitched howl comes from the cafeteria’s entrance. You three turn to see what’s the source… It’s Spectralhound. Why is he here…? “You think I wouldn’t recognize you?!” His voice sounds higher pitched than you were accustomed to. With a decisive strut he comes closer to you. “I can’t believe I found you here…!” He looks angry.

H-He’s about to destroy all your plans if you don't do anything. Thankfully, there is no one around thanks to the meeting they have upstairs. But it begs the question, what is he doing here?

How do you respond?

>“Sir, I don’t know who you are. But it’s nice to meet you, my name is Wilfred.” Play the same oblivious but hardworking janitor.
>“You better shut up or I’m going to kick you in the groin again.” Intimidate.
>Ignore him.

“Sir, I don’t know who you are. But nice to meet you, my name is Wilfred.” Play the same oblivious but hardworking janitor.

“W-Wilfred…?! A-Are you even trying?!” Spectralhound won’t fall for your tricks. “Look! You even brought those two too!” He points at Catastrovania and Maggie.

“We’re merely coworkers.” You retort.

“Okay, what’s your name, girl?” Spectralhound gets furiously close to Catastrovania.

“I’m… uh… Cocostrovania.” Catastrovania poses.

“P-Put some effort, damn it!” Spectralhound is more offended by the fact you guys think you can fool him doing this. “Okay, shoot, what’s your name?” He points at Maggie.

“Uhm.. I’m… eeh… Uh… Maggie II.” Maggie smiles.

“….I think I made a mistake. Sorry for harassing you guys, you’re clearly not the people I thought you were.” Spectralhound walks away… Then he runs back. “NO, I’M NOT BUYING THIS! What kind of idiot do you take me for!?”

“I’m not sure what has gotten onto you, sir, but you persist, I’ll call security. This is assault.” The honorable janitor Wilfred won’t stand idle.

“That’s all you do! You call the cops or kick me in the balls! You’re no maaaaAAAAann…!” Spectralhound has enough of you.

“Please don’t mention your private parts, sir. That’s sexual harassment.” Maggie intervenes.

“S-Shut up!” Spectralhound was taken aback by that.

You feel a truly spectral being going back to your phone, it’s Odetta. She makes you phone vibrate twice to tell you she accomplished her mission.

You need to get out of here quickly.

What do you do?

It does make sense to apologize. Spectralhound is so used to us calling the cops and kicking him in the balls that I don't think he would believe we could apologize. We would be clearly someone else.

“Seriously sir, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Perhaps you’re mistaking me for my twin brother Alfred. If he did anything to you, I apologize in the name of my family.” You’ll try to gaslight him.

“T-Twin brother…? A-Apologize?” Spectralhound never expected this kind of response. “This is certainly not how the real Alfred would act.”

“That’s because I’m Wilfred.” You retort.

“But these two…! They look exactly like Catastro-whatever and Maggie!” Spectralhound cannot be fooled that easily.

“That’s because I’m Maggie II.” Maggie retorts.

“You’re messing with MEEEeeeeE. Who names their child Maggie II?” Spectralhound barks.

“Maggie I.” Maggie is as sharp as a bag of wet noodles.

“T-Then you’re not Maggie II, You’re Maggie the second! Learn how to lie properly.” Spectralhound is confident that you’re just liars.

“She can’t lie properly because she’s telling the truth.” You intervene.

“And what’s the excuse of this one, eh?!” Spectralhound points at Catastrovania.

“Ngh…” Catastrovania shyly hides behind you.

“Sir, stop pointing at people. It’s rude.” You act cordial about it.

“Y-You sound just like him! E-Even complaining about the same stuff.” Spectralhound is one tough cookie to convince.

“We were raised in the same household.” You shake your head.

“Y-You might have a point, but that doesn’t absolve Coco. She’s exactly like her.” Spectralhound wants to hear Cat’s answer.

“She’s just trying to look like the main villain of the upcoming superhero movie: Silver Sun! She’s a big fan.” You invent an excuse.

“Now that’s far-fetched…” Spectralhound didn’t believe your lie in any way, shape or form this time.

“Here…” You look it up on your phone after pushing Odetta to the side. She looks really mad at you. “See?” You show him a picture of the poster after pushing the ghost away for the 2nd time.

“T-T-That can’t be real… W-Why is she there…?” Spectralhound can’t believe his eyes, now he looks down. “…Wilfred, Coco and Maggie. Sorry for troubling you.” Spectralhound loses all bravado and meekly apologizes. “I feel like a dick. I made a big scene for nothing.”

“It’s all right, sir. Everyone makes mistakes.” You pretend to be understanding.

“You all are cool. I’m not going to forget this! In fact, when you see your brother again, tell him we’re even.” Spectralhound raises his fist. “I’ll find a way to make it up to all of you later! Now if you’ll excuse me… I forgot my Donny Pops.” Spectralhound walks back to the cafeteria with his sandwich in hand.

You tell everyone to get in the elevator asap. You all rush with the cart…

“What an idiot.” You say once you’re safe from anyone listening to you.

“A big one.” Catastrovania shakes her head.

“Freddy wasn’t that bad…” Nightmare Maggie might be as kind as Ascended Maggie.

“No, he’s an idiot!” Catastrovania really doesn’t like Spectralhound.

You arrive on the 5th floor, it has various hallways with doors leading to different offices, you can see the number of each one. There are 3 big conference rooms and other smaller meeting rooms, one of the former is the source of all the noise here. Catastrovania points out that you should get to Conference Room Number 3, that’s the location of the Cell Key.

As you approach your objective, you see someone standing outside, guarding it. It’s one big dude, and he doesn’t look friendly… He hasn’t noticed you three yet.

What do you do?

“Hello there.” You approach the big dude and greet him. You think he looks familiar. Catastrovania and Maggie are trailing behind with the cart, both of them nervous at what you’re about to do.

“…” He silently nods to acknowledge you.

“You’re Yevtushenkov, right?” You ask.

“Yah.” Yevtushenkov calmly responds. You forgot how deep his voice is.

“What are you doing here? Why aren’t you at the conference?” You try to spark a conversation.

“I guard the keys while they are busy.” Yevtushenkov points behind him. “Care to play? Tell. Head or Tail.” He takes a coin out.

“Tail.” You respond without hesitation.

Yevtushenkov tosses the coin in the air and catches it. He shows the result to you. “Still good.” It was tail. He nods to himself. “You want a key?”

How do you respond?

“Yes, can I have the ones for the cells please?” You politely ask the colossal man.

“Underground?” Yevtushenkov wonders.

“Yeah, that one. Please.”

“One moment.” Yevtushenkov goes inside the room and comes back in less than a minute. “Here. Save Jean-Loup.”

“Thank you so much.” You’re grateful for his help. You have no idea why he’s doing all of this though.

“...” Yevtushenkov nods.

“You owned a store on our street, didn’t you? My father must’ve known you. He was Hank Brown.” You wonder.

“Yes. The liquor store. Your father was a good man.” Yevtushenkov finally stops frowning. “I don’t know how long they are busy. You three. Get going.”

“But I have a couple more questions.” You wanna know what his deal is.

“No time.” Yevtunshenkov shakes his head. “Go.”

You desist and walk away towards the girls with the Prison Cell Keys in your hands. Catastrovania is not as stupefied as Maggie, but both are dumbfounded. You just push them forward to the elevator.

“H-He’s the guy at the inn, r-right…?” Catastrovania comments as you get going.

“Yes, he also owned one of the stores in the district…” You say as you push the button for the elevator to come while holding the laundry cart. It’s coming from above.

“Was it my imagination or does he know why we are here…?” Maggie is confused by it.

“Yes, I wanted to ask him a couple of questions. But if he knows Masen’s dad, maybe he can tell us what his deal is.” You believe there is time for some clarifications later.

“I should’ve thanked him…” Maggie feels bad about staying frozen doing nothing during the exchange.

“Cat, these are the keys, right?” You show them to her.

“Y-Yeah!” Catastrovania checks on her phone.

The elevator arrives! The doors open and… there is a guy with one ugly ass haircut inside.

“This elevator is exclusive for important mem—” The man in a suit was about to complain but he freezes.

“Y-You…!” Catastrovania points rudely at him.

“That’s the lawyer dude we helped! What are you doing here…?” Maggie is surprised. “W-Wait, I shouldn’t say anything! I’m a janitor.” Maggie blew your cover. He certainly looks familiar…

“You’re the Min-Hu boss.” You have absolutely no doubts, he was on the tape with Aleister and the others! You’ll never forget that awful haircut!

“I knew IT!” Catastrovania is getting too used to lying.

“How could you?!” Maggie feels betrayed.

“I-I can explain…!” The cornered man furiously pushes the elevator’s button to close the door.

You respond by decking him on the face, not as hard as you did with Vender just to not cause a commotion or too much noise, but hard enough to knock his lights out. He drops inside the elevator but you grab him by the hoodie before he reaches the floor. Then you push the button to cancel the elevator’s command on the side. You tell the girls to open the laundry cart’s top, and you drop the guy inside…

Now you tell everyone to get inside the elevator and close the doors. The girls look unsure on what to do, you are as well.

“W-What do we do…?” Catastrovania makes the vital question you can’t answer. “C-Can we take him with us?”

“Who knows?! Let’s just, like, drop him on any floor or whatever!” Maggie knows very well that this just complicates things.

“Hey! He was going to the conference, right?! They are going to start searching for him any second now! You don’t have much time, do something!” Odetta screams from your pocket just to be heard.

“Calm down everyone, I know what to do.” You exclaim so they can shut up for a second.

“We’re taking him with us.” You announce first, but you’re not done. You take out your phone. “Odetta, check his phone. If he had the conference scheduled, he must’ve the numbers of everyone involved. Send them a message that he’s going to be 10 minutes late.”

“You have a sound head sometimes up there, Al.” Odetta smirks from your phone and goes out of it.

“Here, I found it…!” Maggie searched the corpse in a matter of seconds to find it. Odetta jumps right into it.

“I-I pressed to go down!” Catastrovania announces as you feel the lift going down. “To the last underground level we go.”

“Messages sent.” Odetta announces from Ubaldo’s phone. “Just for you to know, I sent the contacts’ information to your phone, Al. Just in case. Let’s see what else I can find…”

“That won’t be necessary for now. Just come back to my phone.” You order Odetta, you need to be alert at all moments.

“Easy, easy, it’s not going to take me long, I have time as long as we stay inside here, right? Hehehe…” Odetta ignores your order, but you’ll trust her on this one.

“I told you guys that Allie is a genius!” Maggie wants to hug you badly.

“Fufufu, without my guidance, this would be another CATASTROPHIC story.” Catastrovania is acting up now that everything seems under control. Or at least, now that you have this little breather.

“It’s not over, we still have to deal with those 2 guards.” The most important ones aren’t on a break.

Maggie and Catastrovania nod in unison, a little worried about what’s to come. This is the only part of the plan that was iffy.

You reach the underground floor, it’s just a hallway with 3 doors and the stairs right next to you. It’s all made out of dull concrete, nothing fancy, all cold. You all step out of it with the cart, Odetta comes back to your phone. Catastrovania says the door at the end has the cell where Masen and his dad are in.

“…….” Bruce keeps writing and deleting his messages. “…..!”

Out of the blue, another message is sent. He panics until he realizes it’s from Alfred. He panics again because he remembered what he was supposed to be doing and what a message from his buddy could mean.



Alfred informs him about their progress so far, they are close to getting those guys out! Bruce is happy about this!

“N-e-a-t…” Bruce confidently types as a response to the update and sends it.

Now back to Lorena…

You received a ‘Neat’ from Bruce after you sent him your update. That raises your morale. Now it’s time to tackle the last massive obstacle to get the Reids out of here. You tell everyone that you’re going over there, laundry cart included, and knock on the door. You’ve done such a good job so far, the girls don’t hesitate to follow your orders, they believe you have something under your sleeve.

Someone opens it. This person looks vaguely familiar. You’ve had this feeling all day, but it doesn’t stop ringing true, except this one is far from being someone you can recall even if you tried.

“Hey.” The guard says while holding the door and with only his head peeking out.

“Hey.” You reply.

“Hold on a second, pal.” The guard turns back and leaves the door almost closed. “Can janitors get to this level?” He asks someone inside.

“I don’t know.” Possibly his fellow guard responds.

“Eeeehm…” The guard opens the door again. “You know what’s going on in here?”

“Yeah.” You pretend not to care enough.

“Nice. Hold on a second.” The guard does the same thing again to talk to his partner. “I think it’s fine. They know what’s up.”

“Wait, let me take a look.” It’s time for the other guard to judge you. They change places. “Hey.”

“Hey.” You retort.

“Do you really know what’s going on here?” Guard 2 wonders.

“Yeah.” You say the same thing as before.

“It’s kinda fucked up, isn’t it?” Guard 2 wants to gauge your reaction. You shrug in response. “And those other girls know too?” Both Maggie and Catastrovania half-assedly say yes. “Give me one sec.” The guard leaves the door almost closed. “I think they’re clean.”

“Then let them in.” Guard 1 doesn’t give a shit. “Wait, are we supposed to let them in just like that?”

“I don’t know…” Guard 2 is concerned. “Let’s ask them, they sound more well informed than us.” Guard 2 peeks out. “Are we supposed to let you in just like that?”

“Uh… Yeah.” You nod.

“Rad.” Guard 2 closes the door and unlocks something. Then he opens the door. “Come in.”

“Thank you.” You three get inside.

Well, it’s a dirty, sad, shitty prison cell. Masen, his dad and ANOTHER person that looks vaguely familiar are locked up in 2 of the 3 cells inside. The 3 prisoners are in shock.

“Wait, these guys look surprised. I think we fucked up.” Guard 2 realizes.

“Yeah, maybe they want to beat us up.” Guard 1 seems to get it. “I don’t want to get beaten.”

“Me neither.” Guard 2 shakes his head. “Hey kids, are you going to beat us up?”

“…” Maggie and Catastrovania don’t have the words to respond to this idiocy.

“Up to you, really.” You don’t mind doing this the easy way or the hard way.

“Eh, not really feeling it, what about you?” Guard 2 asks Guard 1.

“I mean if you already feel like that, there isn’t much point to it.” Guard 1 isn’t on board either.

“Yep, we’ll pass, kids.” Guard 2 announces their defeat. “We’re totally getting sacked for this.”

“Wait, we don’t know if these kids want to take the prisoners out.” Guard 1 has some hope. “So, are you?”

“Yeah.” You won’t hide your intentions.

“When you’re right, you’re right, man.” Guard 1 loses his hope. “We’ll have to get out of here when they let us.”

You decide to ignore these two for the meantime, you now look back at the people you came to help.

“Alfred! Maggie!” Masen is on the verge of tears.

“Heh, these kids…” Jean-Loup looks badly beaten but happy to see you. He looks like he’s too tired to move around or talk at all.

“Hey, hey, there! You lookin’ beefier!” Maggie is happy to see Masen again.

“We’ll get you out of there.” You exclaim.

“Hey kids, we don’t wanna bomb your party, but you need 2 sets of special keys to open this up.” Guard 1 tries to be helpful.

“Yeah, the regular key for the cell and one special key for this weird lock. We don’t have either.” Guard 2 continues to clarify. “We only have the key to open this room up and that’s it.”

“I have both.” You pull them out. The one Odetta got, and the other from Yevtushenkov.

“Woah, these kids are prepared, I’m glad we didn’t fight them.” Guard 1 is surprised.

“Yeah, first time someone let us back out from a fight too, I feel kinda lucky.” Guard 2 is glad as well. Did he forget he lost his job…?

“We have more surprises than that, fufufu…” Catastrovania exclaims to be cooler.

You open the cell for Masen and Jean-Loup to get out. As soon as it opens, Masen hugs you and Maggie tightly. You don’t like this…

“C-Calm down, Reid…” Maggie can’t breathe.

“L-Leave this for later.” You remind him that this isn’t over.

“Listen to ‘em, son.” Jean-Loup struggles to get up, the guards are helping him out.

“S-Sorry…” Masen lets you go.

“Welcome to the LEGION of DARKNESS, big man.” Catastrovania welcomes Masen to the group. “I hope you can make yourself useful, fufufu…”

“What’s fufufu?” Masen is confused.

“It’s my laugh, fufufu…” Catastrovania laughs again.

“You’re just saying it rapidly.” Masen doesn’t buy it.

“We’re taking you all inside this Laundry Cart and out of here.” You explain briefly to change topics.

“Oh, I thought we were going to run for it.” Masen scratches the back of his head.

“As the mastermind behind this operation, your assumption insults me.” Catastrovania acts offended.

“Hey, over here!” The guy from the other cell shouts. “Help me out to, future bros, will ya?”

“Who’s this?” Maggie looks at him like he’s some kind of circus monkey.

“It’s a weirdo…” Masen doesn’t hold the best opinion of him.

“I’m not a weirdo! I’m Clyde! And listen to me! This shit is important! I need you guys to get me out of here to stop a war from happening!” Clyde begins his speech.

“Yeah, he sounds like a weirdo!” Maggie agrees with Masen.

“I fought in the Construct Wars, this is most likely nothing.” Catastrovania isn’t impressed.

“I-It’s not nothing! The country is in danger! It’s a long story, my EX-BRO here knows it, I’m not a psycho or anything. Just listen to me for a couple of minutes and I’ll explain everything!” Clyde is begging you to be heard.

“Do we even have the time to, like, listen to this loser…?” Maggie wonders.

“D-Don’t say that, sis!” Clyde is in shock.

“There is something else we should worry about…” Catastrovania points at the Laundry Cart… The Min-Hu Leader is still in there.

+1, but don't forget to ask the guards for gags and handcuffs (Ubaldo needs to be secured or else he'll try to kill us when he wakes up) and maybe if they have a tazer or something strong. Remember to have Jean-Loup and Masen handle Clyde (and Ubaldo if they have to) by the time we get out of here

+1, why not ask the guards if they want to start a new job immediately, since they just lost their employment. We do have a business man here, these seem like two cool dudes, somebody's gotta guard the Min-Hu Leader after this operation, and they can double as butchers.

“You’re right, Maggie. We don’t have the time to listen to him here.” You decide to open his cell as well. “We’ll listen to you on the way. We have stuff to do.” You need to find the bucket.

“Al…!” Masen doesn’t know how to react, but he’s surprised by your decision.

“Brooo!” Clyde bursts into tears. “M-my bad, you don’t wanna hear me cry, I need to get my shit together…”

“Yeah, there, there…” Maggie pats Clyde’s back to help him calm down.

“Ngh… Al…” Catastrovania stresses her point again. You know she’s serious when she’s not calling you her assistant.

“Hey, you two, do you have some gags and handcuffs?” You ask the guards.

“Do we?” Guard 1 asks Guard 2. Both of them hand Jean-Loup to Masen.

“Yeah, we do. In the tool box.” Guard 2 pulls it out from underneath a chair. “Here.” He hands you both and the key for the handcuffs.

“Thanks.” You are ready to handcuff the Min-Hu Boss. “Do you have a taser or something?” You ask as you start securing the unconscious guy inside the laundry cart, all hidden from them.

“I think we would’ve fought you kids if we did.” Guard 2 shakes his head.

“Don’t know about that, but it’s true, we’re awfully under equipped for the job.” Guard 1 laments. “They only handed us this shovel. It’s a nice shovel, but it shouldn’t be used to beat up people.”

“It’s really a waste of a nice shovel, our job sucks.” Guard 2 agrees. “Glad we lost it.” They are convincing themselves that they made the right decision…

“Yeah.” Guard 1 agrees.

“How delusional…” Catastrovania says. You cannot help but to notice the irony of Cat saying it.

“Do you have a way to know what the status up there is?” You ask while still inside the laundry cart.

“With the intercom system by the door outside.” Guard 1 says. “You want us to check it out?”

“Can we? Aren’t they in a meeting or something?” Guard 2 wonders.

“At worst we can talk with the nice chick at the reception. She always knows what’s up.” Guard 1 doesn’t mind.

“Please do.” You cordially ask.

“Sure.” Guard 2 agrees for both of them. “We'll be back in a minute.”

Both leave the room and the door open, Catastrovania checks on them to see if they are there – and she confirms it.

“Now… Now I’m ready.” Clyde finally has his shit together. By the way, you’re done with the Min-Hu Boss.

“Wait… I’m gonna pass out… I’m leavin’ this to you, kids. [I]Save… the… bucket…” Jean-Loup goes unconscious in Masen’s arms.

“We will.” You’ll save the Bucket. That’s next on the list.

“I-Is he okay…?” Maggie is worried she saw someone die.

“It’s just the medicine he got, it’s fine.” Masen believes there is nothing to worry about but still looks concerned. “It’s no joke, the bucket is more important than we thought.” You disagree, the bucket is as important as you think.

“B-Bros, Sisses and Ex-Bro, I’m ready to talk…!” Clyde wants some attention.

“I know we just talked, but I don’t think I got your name.” Masen completely ignores Clyde and asks Catastrovania to introduce herself.

Fufufufu~ The name is Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros IX! I’m 600 years old, an ex-combatant in the Construct Wars, and a metahuman beyond your comprehension! Darkness is my way of life! Welcome to my LEGION again!” Catastrovania welcomes Masen to her shitty cult.

“I don’t think anything you said is true.” Masen nods with a smile on his face.

“L-Listen to me…!” Clyde is begging for attention.

Out of nowhere, the Guards are back with important news.

“We checked like you asked, and we are about to be invaded by some Aleister kid, or something. He’s using a megaphone.” Guard 1 announces. “Don’t know what the big deal is.”

“Yeah, he’s asking for the boss’ head and a bucket or else he’s going to destroy the office, strange kid.” Guard 2 shakes his head. “That’s what the chick told us.”

So Aleister is finally here… Frankly, you weren’t expecting him to come, he’s a lousy guy after all.

“He wants the bucket?!” Masen is in shock. “Why?! He’s too stupid to know what the bucket has!” Both Guards shrug.

“It is a nice bucket.” You retort but you’re not foolish enough to believe that’s the only reason he wants it. But you agree, it must not be a good one.

“Al! Put some headphones on!” Odetta shrieks from inside your pocket. You decide to do as she says, you forgot why you brought these with you. “Don’t take them off! Now you can hear me without me yelling!!”

“Then stop yelling.” You retort. “Ehem, the bucket is upstairs, we need to go for it before anyone else gets their hands on it.” You want everyone on the same page.

“Okay, what’s the plan?” Masen is so up for this.

“We all are going to the Treasure Room, we’re going for our damn bucket and then out of this place.” You make it clear to everyone. “Masen, Clyde, get inside the Laundry Cart.”

“R-Right…” Masen opens the laundry cart and notices there is someone inside… “What the…?!”

“T-T-T-T-That’s the boss! That’s Ubaldo!” Clyde covers his mouth in shock.

“We’re totally getting fired from this.” Guard 1 shakes his head.

“Yeah, there is no turning back at this point. ” Guard 2 is not impressed. “Too bad we won’t get paid for the couple of days we worked.”

“We still can…” Guard 1 takes Ubaldo’s wallet and takes money out of it, shares it with his partner, then puts it back.

“Good thinking.” Guard 2 is satisfied.

“Oh, I forgot about Lawyer dude.” Maggie chuckles.

“Y-You forgot?!” Catastrovania is in shock.

“W-We’re taking him with us?!” Masen can’t believe this.

“Yeah, now hop in.” You don’t have time to lose.

“C’mon, ex-bro, we can’t stay here forever!” Clyde is already inside. “Bring your papa inside.”

“D-Don’t call him papa, you creep.” Masen desists from complaining and gets inside the cart with Jean-Loup in his arms.

“Not to bother you kids, but we have a request.” Guard 2 asks for everyone’s attention. “Now that we think about it, we’re going to get killed for this. Our jobs be damned.”

“You kids seem to have a pretty elaborate escape plan, so can we join you?” Guard 1 asks for the two of them. “We’ll help you out with what we can. Just think about it, having 2 security guards right with you will look less suspicious while you move around.”

They have a point…

“What’s that noise…?” Bruce realizes someone is shouting very loudly, he can’t see it because he’s parked behind the building and it appears the guy is yelling at the front.

“Sure.” You randomly joined forces with everyone here, what’s the difference with them?

“We’ll do what we can.” Guard 1 nods.

“And we mean it.” Guard 2 nods.

“More dead weight, yay.” Odetta sarcastically remarks.

“Look who’s talking.” You whisper back.

“Well, you two guys can push the cart then!” Maggie is all smiles. You’ve been the one pushing it around, what is she complaining about?

The two guards get to it immediately, they close the laundry cart and start pushing it outside with everyone in it. It’s heavy for them but they are not struggling.

“T-They are more obedient than I expected…” Catastrovania notices. “All of you inside, keep quiet from now on…!”

“…” You hear nothing from Masen and Clyde. Message well received.

“To the elevator, quick.” You indicate as you go past the cart towards it.

“Assistant, didn’t I tell you, you did a splendid job here dealing with the guards?” Catastrovania acts all smug.

“…Heh.” You know she’s right for the wrong reasons.

You all board the elevator, thankfully together you’re not fat enough to break the weight limit, it raises one floor to your next objective: The Treasure Room. This floor is very similar to the one you just were in, main difference is that there is someone waiting at the final door, where the treasure is, and the whole place looks a tiny bit tidier. But that’s it.

“Huh…?” The guard notices your presence thanks to the elevator going tink.

“We’re here to clean up the Treasure Room.” You let him know.

“Hmph, are you? What’s up with the guards?” The distrustful thug points at both guards.

“They are here protecting us in case that Aleister guy breaks in.” You respond.

“Have you ever seen a janitor’s bodyguard? We sank so low.” Guard 1 shakes his head.

“A job is a job, but a little respect every now and then would be nice.” Guard 2 shakes his head as well.

“Stop complaining, it’s part of learning the ropes.” The thug didn’t like what those 2 said.

“Learning the ropes? Aren’t we too old for that?” Guard 2 complains.

“I mean it’s never too late to learn something new, but this guy is pretty condescending.” Guard 1 agrees somewhat.

“S-Shut up.” The thug feels offended.

“Either way, can we go in?” You chime in. “We’ll be quick.”

“I never heard that you guys were supposed to come in from my boss...” The thug is acting sharper than he has any right to. “Wait, if you guys are here, that means that dumbass didn’t take them…”

“Excuse me?” You act confused.

“You have the master key, right? Hand it to me now. I outrank you all, it’s an order.” He gets mad.

“Do you?” You get defensive. “Do you have any proof of what you said is true?”

“W-What do you mean?” The thug looks confused.

“Yeah, aren’t you, like, lying to us?” Maggie backs you up.

“I can smell it, the smell of a LIAR!” Catastrovania points at him.

“W-What…?” The thug looks confused.

“You’re right, he has no proof, how can we have been so blind?” Guard 2 realizes.

“Damn, these janitors are pretty sharp. Maybe they are worth defending.” Guard 1 joins your efforts.

“S-Shut up! Of course, I outrank you! I’m backup from the Youhao Clan, and I’m a lieutenant of my family!” Thug starts giving excuses.

“What’s a high ranked officer guarding a door then?” You believe this is suspicious.

“Your boss, Zama Vatalaro, put me here! I can’t go against his orders. If you think this is a waste, that’s not my problem!” The thug gets angrier and angrier.

“How is telling us that proving anything? We said we want evidence!” You exclaim.

Evidence! Evidence!” Maggie and Catastrovania chant together.

“What lively kids.” Guard 1 seems to like you.

“We have to protect them.” Guard 2 finds you precious.

“B-Be quiet, god damn it!” This thug has a short temper. “Here, look at this pin, it shows I’m from the Youhao Family!”

“…You totally bought that from a dollar store.” You shake your head.

“I-I did not…!” The thug is in shock.

“Are you even trying, hmm?” Maggie eggs on the thug.

“It’s quite pathetic to pretend to be something you’re not.” Catastrovania throws more coal to the fire.

“But he’s suspicious, right? Why do you want the key?” Guard 2 does some detective work.

“He openly says he’s from another gang, maybe he’s a mole or just stupid.” Guard 1 wonders.

“I have one job today, and one job only. I need to make sure nobody gets inside this room. Zama Vatalaro is my sworn brother, and I’m helping him out.” The thug explains.

“That doesn’t explain the key.” Guard 2 points out.

“I don’t care about the goddamn key! Just hand it over to one of Zama’s men now instead of pestering me!” He gets really mad.

I personally am not a fan of using metaknowledge, but neither do I want to start going a discussion about it, since the whole subject is so divisive. I implore others not to shit the thread with it either.

“Well, if you really want to help, we heard that Aleister punk is attacking upstairs.” You try to lure him out. “So go and help.”

“T-That asshole is here?!” The thug now looks concerned.

“He’s doing a big show with a megaphone outside.” Guard 1 adds to your story.

“We just heard it from reception. You can use the intercom if you don’t believe us, unlike you, we have proof.” Guard 2 compliments as well.

“Damn it, I can’t just leave…!” The stupid thug is struggling with his decision. “If I wasn’t guarding this place, I…! Wait a second, you’re trying to lure me out of here!” Maybe he’s not that much of an idiot.

“Baseless accusations again, huh? Is that how the big shots operate? By lying all the time? Hmmm?” Catastrovania has a condescending look on her face.

“This guy is, like, real scum, isn’t he?” Maggie looks down on the thug too.

“If that’s what learning the ropes entails, I don’t want any of it.” Guard 1 shakes his head.

“Our job may be shit, but we have our dignity.” Guard 2 shakes his head as well.

“Enough! I’m tired of your shit…!” The thug wants to beat you up, but judging by his hesitation, he knows he’s outnumbered. He’s just staring at all of you intensively.

All of a sudden, you hear a clicking noise, like a lock being open. Then the door the thug is defending opens slowly.

“I told them the keys don’t matter if you can lockpick…” Camilo, your bartender friend, comes out of the room with the bucket in hand. He’s alone. “Uh-oh…” He realizes he’s in danger.

“…” The thug’s eyes open wide. Everyone in the hallway doesn’t know what to do.

What do you do?

You immediately slam the back of his head with the broom you have without hesitation. The thug starts staggering and drops on the floor like a sack of potatoes right next to the door while everyone watches the action unfold without saying a word.

“Aw sweet, you got the bucket.” You say after finishing the job.

“A-Al?!” Camilo just realized that it’s you. “W-What are you doing here?”

“Saving the Bucket, what else?” You put it simple.

“Oh, he’s one of us, that’s good.” Guard 2 relaxes.

“Yeah, for a second there I thought things were about to get a tad complicated.” Guard 1 adds.

“You know him…?” Catastrovania is confused.

“He’s Camilo, he’s one of Al’s friends from the bar. He’s, like, a nice dude!” Maggie explains better than her usual standard but still poorly. “No idea what he’s doing here though.”

“Nice to meet you all. I’m here to save the bucket as well for rather complicated reasons…” Camilo doesn’t sound as enthusiastic as a normal bucket savior would be. “I’m not alone, but we got separated, we were using the air vents to move around, but there is a rather dreadful smell coming out of them now and I can’t stand it.”

“W-Who else is here…?” Catastrovania wants to know.

“3 more people, all from the bucket retrieving group. But let’s get out of here first, I don’t have any signal down here to tell them that I found it.” Camilo checks his phone.

“Wait, damn it…” The thug is alive, he struggles to stand up. “Zama needs that fuckin’ thing… I won’t let you go…!”

“We outnumber you quite severely, are you sure you want to go through with this?” You don’t want to waste time in an unnecessary confrontation.

“How many times do I have to tell you to shut up?! I ran away from a battle once, and I still regret it to this day! I’m not making that same mistake again!” This thug won’t go down easily.

“You’re just making another type of mistake, there is nothing courageous about what you want to do, you’re just being reckless. If you’re not making a difference, it’s pointless to continue.” If you were like him, long ago you would’ve fought Aleister and died. You want to win.

“That’s for me to decide, you bastard…!” The thug won’t back down. You raise your guard.

He’s throwing himself at you with bad intentions…

The angry mafia thug throws a punch that you successfully dodge with ease, it keeps going for a little while, he fails every single one of his hits. He’s not bad for a thug, but he’s staggering around too much to be anywhere near effective.

“Woah, Allie is so cool!” Maggie is cheering you on.

“Fufufu, my teachings did wonders.” Catastrovania takes the credit.

“He’s making him look like he’s a drunk from the streets.” Camilo is impressed.

“Our higher ups are pretty disappointing.” Guard 2 ridicules the thug.

“Cronyism at its purest.” Guard 1 shakes his head.

“S-Stop, dodging…!” The thug is getting tired and too disoriented to keep going. He ends up tripping… “D-Damn it…”

“…” You win without much effort.

“When you’re this heavily outmatched, you should let it go.” Catastrovania puts the final nail in the coffin.

“I-It’s because I’m dizzy…” The thug won’t live this down any time soon.

“And how did you get dizzy, huh, dumbass?” Maggie makes fun of him.

“There is no point in taunting him, y’know?” Camilo is too nice for this.

“I find it hilarious.” Guard 2 says.

“Well said.” Guard 1 agrees.

“Camilo, put the bucket inside the laundry cart, we’re getting out of here.” You assume he’s going out with you.

But suddenly, bad news arrived…

“I don’t think so, kids.” It’s the woman from the elevator earlier, she’s standing on the stairs with 8 more men behind her, they are unarmed. Is the meeting over because of Aleister? “You’re handing the bucket to us right now.”

“Ngh…” Catastrovania expertly hides behind you.

“Welp, this isn’t good.” Camilo doesn’t like this.

“Didn’t she hire us?” Guard 1 wonders.

“I don’t recall, really. This could be dangerous.” Guard 2 shrugs.

“Do you think it’s a bad moment to ask?” Guard 1 wants to change sides.

“Damn you, Don Sato! Why are you here?! That bastard Aleister is out there…!” For some reason the thug you just beat believes that part of your story despite you being outed as liars.

“That’s exactly why we need the Bucket. We don’t have time to prattle.” The woman retorts. She means business.

What do you do?

>“You know Zama is bringing his men to help the guy over here, right?” Bluff.

“Reid, show them their boss.” You use your lucky triumph card, the one hostage you’ve been keeping with you.

“Hmm…?” Don Sato appears curious by what you said.

“Aaaah! I don’t want anyone to make a m-move!” Reid bursts out of the Laundry Cart (after carefully removing the cloth lid.)

“What the hell…?!” The thug you just beat is in utter shock, similar to the other thugs behind Don Sato.

“Is that guy important…?” Camilo doesn’t get it.

“Oh my.” Don Sato is as shocked as she can be.

“Yeah! You don’t want his ugly mug to get hurt! Don’t ya?” Maggie threatens by getting closer to the cart.

“Back off! Back off! Back off or your leader gets… it!” Catastrovania pretends to hiss at them. It works, the men step back.

“Oh right, we were going to get fired for that either way.” Guard 1 recalls.

“Yeah, it doesn’t matter if she hired us or not. We’re dead meat if we follow them.” Guard 2 won’t betray you now.

“You know, giving in to Aleister like that makes you guys seem weak.” You say as you have complete control over them.

“We needed to buy some time.” Don Sato admits.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiit….!” Clyde comes out of the Laundry Cart as well. “Don’t fight! I said DON’T FIGHT!”

“Oh god no…” Masen can’t believe Clyde is interfering now.

“Penelope! Boss! You need to hear me out!” Clyde starts shouting.

“…It’s not for me to decide.” Don Sato looks at you.

“Bros and Sisters! Don’t do this! I need to talk to ‘em! Please!” Clyde begs.

What do you do?

“Sure, feel free.” You did tell him you were going to hear his story.

“T-Thanks, bro!” Clyde’s eyes begin sparkling from happiness.

“I’m listening.” Don Sato orders everyone to sit on the stairs with one finger movement.

“I’ve been curious about this myself.” Catastrovania wants to hear it too.

“I hate to admit that it’s actually important.” Masen hypes it up.

“A-Are you kidding me!? What are you guys doing…!?” The beaten thug is losing his mind.

“We already heard this before. What do we do?” Guard 1 wonders.

“Wanna check the treasure room in the meantime?” Guard 2 has a nice idea.

“I think it’s better if you guys don’t go anywhere, you’ll raise suspicion.” Camilo stops them from doing so.

“Glasses here has a point. We don’t want to get into trouble.” Guard 2 nods.

“I’m surprised he talked to us.” Guard 1 scratches the back of his head.

SSSsssshh…” Maggie wants everyone to shut up so Clyde can be heard loud and clear.

Clyde tells the tale about Zama’s biggest plans and how it can shift the power balance in all of the country’s underworld – and it would ultimately lead to a gang war. (To have the full details, read Masen’s part above.)

“Why is our little town in the middle of nowhere so important…?” Maggie doesn’t like it.

“It’s the place where I reside, of course it should be!” Catastrovania replies.

“…That’s why, we need to stop Zama!” Clyde shouts to Don Sato to understand.

“I didn’t expect such lofty plans from a little rat. It aligns with everything we know, so I believe I have no other option but one.” Don Sato is not amused. “Gentlemen, we pride ourselves for being the ones who bring balance in the underworld, and that won’t change. Tonight, Zama Vatalaro will die even if it means the end of the Min-Hu Alliance. We’ll keep peace and quiet.”

“You pieces of shit! Don’t you fuckin’ dare do anything to him!” Zama’s ally has enough of this crap. “Why are you letting Youhao get away with this?! We only want to stop him…!”

“We don’t care who’s leading, but who’s dying. With Zama at the top of the Rokyo clan, there will be more bloodshed.” Don Sato proclaims. “With that said, hands us the bucket and our leader now. Dead or alive, we don’t care, we only need his body.”

“Boss…?” Clyde is in shock.

“With both, we can convince that lunatic outside to kill Zama.” Don Sato thinks she can negotiate with Aleister? “His associates are far more reasonable.”

“That backfired, huh?” Guard 1 is a let down by this.

“Can’t they just go find that Zama guy and kill him themselves? Why waste time here?” Guard 2 doesn’t get it.

Neither do you.

“What he just said. Why?” You point at Guard 2.

“We have to end this with the least amount of bloodshed, if we convince Aleister, our numbers won’t greatly diminish.” Don Sato responds. At least she’s thinking about this thoroughly, she’s reaching the wrong conclusion, but she’s trying. “And him targeting Zama will at least ensure he doesn’t get his plans going.”

“You wouldn’t be in this predicament if he was somewhat reasonable in any way, shape, or form.” You retort. “The truth is, if you give him what he wants, you’ll only speed up the process for him to destroy everything here.”

“What do you propose?” Don Sato is listening.

“We can fight Aleister together.” You propose an alliance.

“Is that even possible…?” Don Sato doesn’t think there is a chance. “Nothing works on the kid, we tried everything. Vatalaro even brought people far more capable than anyone we can offer.”

“T-They are the hired assassins our boss here brought to bring Aleister down!” Clyde backs you up while pointing at the Min-Hu Boss.

“That means little, to say Ubaldo was anything but only incompetent would be a compliment.” Don Sato isn’t buying it.

“They got rid of all the people Zama sent to kill them, they’re no joke!” Clyde knows more about you than you expected.

“I still don’t see it, there is no way anyone can defeat Aleister.” Don Sato shakes her head.

“What a downer.” Maggie pouts.

“I’m merely being realistic.” Don Sato points out. “We’re going to give our death meaning.”

“You! All the men behind Don Sato! Listen!” The beaten-up Thug you should’ve named long ago shouts. He manages to stand up. “Are you happy with this? With your boss’ decision?! She’s willing to sacrifice you all like you’re nothing! She already made up her mind! Are you happy with dying?! And when the chance of surviving showed up, she didn’t even wanna try!”

“…” The men look at each other.

“Don’t stir the pot. We’re talking here.” Don Sato doesn’t like being interrupted.

“I swear if you join Zama Vatalaro, death won’t be your only option!” The thug is trying to recruit these guys.

“We’re proud members of the Min-Hu Alliance. We will die a meaningful death. That’s what every human wishes for.” Don Sato gets heated.

“Boss…” Clyde feels admiration for this delusional woman.

“Hey, kid.” Guard 1 whispers to you. You just noticed that there is no one around. “We have everyone ready inside the elevator, and they are all distracted, should we go?” They are all waving at you inside…

…When did they sneak away? How? Whose idea was it? Well, that explains why it was so quiet.

What do you do?

“Uh… Sure.” You decide that it’s pointless to worry about this whole gang war.

You and Guard 1 sneak inside the elevator as well, you press the button to close the doors and go onto the first floor; the sound of them closing made everyone else in the room realize that something is wrong.

“T-They are escaping!” Don Sato states the obvious, at last you saw her losing her composure.

“Bros?!” Clyde can’t believe you guys are doing this. You all wave at them.

“Stop them, you idiots!” Zama’s thug orders them around, some of the men snap out of it and get closer but the doors close just in time.

“D-Don’t try to hold the doors, p-press the god forsaken button!” Don Sato yells to her incompetent men.

But as the elevator starts going upwards, you feel like it’s already too late for them to do anything to stop you.

“What a bunch of fools!” Catastrovania is all smug now that you escaped.

“That was, like, anticlimactic.” Maggie expected more from this confrontation.

“I prefer it this way…” Masen is now permanently peeking through the laundry cart.

“I have to agree with him.” Camilo doesn’t want any trouble.

“You should get inside as well, Camilo. You have no costume.” You remind your heroic friend with the Bucket.

“Right, right…” Camilo tries to get inside as Masen gives him some space.

“Welcome aboard.” Masen shows his fortress.

“There are many people in here, I’m surprised we all fit…” Camilo adjusts his glasses. They are both peeking through the cart. “I’m going to tell the others to get out of the building…” He pulls out his phone.

Speaking of phones, you feel yours vibrating furiously, it must be Odetta, you put one of your headphones on.

“I told you not to take them off.” Odetta is probably pouting right now. “Ehem, you should’ve stomped on that thug’s face instead of playing around…”

“My bad.” You’ll keep one on at all times.

“Hey, kid, one suggestion. We should get to Floor 2 and use the emergency stairs to get out. The main entrance is most likely a battlefield now.” Guard 2 gently touches your shoulder to get your attention.

“That’s where the security room is, so it’s likely there are some people around trying to fix the mess I made.” Odetta reminds you.

“Sounds good, but we need to be careful, we meddled with the security room so some people must be around.” You think it’s the safer option.

“We’ll be fine as long as we don’t stand out.” Guard 2 believes this will work. Guard 1 nods in approval.

“This is the final stretch, isn’t it?” Maggie wonders to set the mood.

“We only need to reach the backdoor and that’s it!” Catastrovania smirks. “As uneventful as I expertly planned!”

“Finally, the sunlight after so long…” Masen is about to cry.

“Aww, Masen is about to cry!” Nightmare Maggie chuckles.

“I-I’m not…!” Masen hides inside his cart.

“Hehehe, we’re going to finally be done with these people…” Odetta can’t wait.

“The other members of the Bucket Retrieving Group have been informed.” Camilo wants everyone to know that.

“I texted Bruce that we’re this close as well.” You inform too.

“This is the final stretch, isn’t it?” Maggie wonders to set the mood.

“We just need to walk away to the stairs, and carry the cart down them.” You retort.

“W-Why would you be nervous all of the s-sudden?” Catastrovania can’t hide her uneasiness either.

“Put all your conviction in taking this laundry cart to safety, please.” Camilo asks from all of you.

“We will.” You’ll get it done.

The elevator reaches the second floor, the doors open before you, you take a peek as you indicate everyone to stay still. You heard some commotion coming from where the security room should be, loud voices screaming to each other that they need this working and quick – others responding it’s going to take a while. It’s very noisy, but you don’t see anyone paying attention to who’s coming over and whatnot, despite everyone running around through the hallway. There are like 6 people moving around in total.

“We’re clear.” You know it’s time. You indicate to both guards that it’s time to push the Laundry Cart to the stairs that are not far away...

But one more obstacle presents itself…

“S-Screw the cameras, there they are…! Those damn janitors!” It’s the Cranky man who was trying to steal the keys!

“No… Those bitches… Those bitches are the ones who did this to me!” A mysterious masked thug points at both Maggie and Catastrovania.

“Forget about that! You all, hand us the keys, quick!” The Cranky thug can leave things behind if he gets what he wants.

What do you do?

>Just run, you don’t have time to waste!

“Here you go.” You throw them the keys from before. “I’m sorry about before. Try not to die getting out, and be careful about the vents.”

“Thanks!” The Cranky man for the first time doesn’t look angry. “We need to find the boss, now.

“W-Wait, b-but those chicks, man…! T-This mask is ‘cause—” The masked man cries before getting interrupted.

“We don’t even know who the fuck you are.” Maggie has no chill. You think he’s the guy who you beat to a pulp that attacked Maggie and Cat once. But that’s merely a guess.

“Before we go, you two!” Cranky thug points at both guards. “The hell are you doing here…?”

“We heard you were looking for them through the intercom, so we brought them here.” Guard 2 improvises.

“We wanted to help in any way we can.” Guard 1 pretends to be useful.

“Oh good! Then get downstairs, we need help with the blockade, asap! That Aleister kid wants to go through the main door and no other way for who knows why! But we’re doing everything possible to hold him out! Now go!” Cranky thug and masked man run off to the elevator right next to you.

“Yessir.” Both guards salute. And all of you get on your way to the stairs.

Soon you found out that carrying the cart down the stairs wasn’t as easy as it looked, but thanks to the efforts of both guards, you and Maggie – you managed somehow. Catastrovania didn’t do shit. But you’re on the first floor. You take a moment to breath.

You look at the entrance and see that it is blocked in its entirety with furniture and there are about 20 people helping the blockade, as something is trying to burst it open that might be Aleister. You heard them screaming to hold it as they kept being pushed by that something… They are too busy maintaining their position to look around, and they look tired…

“C’mon, kids, we’ll guide you to the backdoor.” Guard 1 says as they both start pushing the Laundry Cart with them.

“Trust us.” Guard 2 wants your cooperation. It’s not like you have any other option.

“Very well.” You help them push it as well. You’re getting the hell out of here…!

But there is still one more obstacle you need to overcome…

“I knew it! That perverse fragrance! It was you, Margaret! It’s me…!” Oh god, it’s Vender yet again. And he looks rough. He’s coming over from the back entrance the guards were leading you to.

“E-Eugh…” Maggie is disgusted.

“Stop reacting like that! I’m Vender Duss, dang it!” Vender gets all mad again. “Ouch… Ouch…” He hurt his face from screaming so much. “Wait… you over there… ALFRED BROWN. You SCUM…!” He’s beyond furious.

“…” You don’t react.

“Stop right there, Vender! We came here to thwart the blockade, so our dear friend Aleister can get through the main entrance like people as admirable as him should!” And Ichie is here too. Great.

“That’s the nice girl from the hospital and the shopping centre.” Guard 1 points out.

“Every time we see her we lose our jobs. I supposed today is no different.” Guard 2 shakes his head.

“I-I TOLD YOU WHAT HE DID TO ME! I’M TIRED OF SPARING THIS TRASH!” Vender shrieks furiously.

“Enough! This must be a massive misunderstanding on your end, Vender! Alfred is my dear friend and he would never do something like that! The best of friends!” Ichie refuses to believe you’re a bad person. “Right, Al?”

How do you respond?

“Indeed, this is a massive misunderstanding, my name is Wilfred.” You’re just a janitor.

“W-Wilfred!? That’s the best you got?! You’re just Alfred Brown!” Vender didn’t fall for your lies for even one minute. “You look exactly like that damn good-for-nothing street trash!”

“That’s because I’m his twin brother.” You retort.

“Oh PLEASE, what a ridiculous notion! If that’s true, I’m not the distinguished gentleman everyone knows me for!” Vender won’t buy it for one second, his voice drips with sarcasm.

“You aren’t.” Maggie retorts.

“Aggh…!” Vender frowns.

“Pardon me, I went through all of Alfred’s life files and in none of them is there any mention of a twin brother.” Ichie is very cordial despite being skeptical.

“That’s because…” You nudge Catastrovania so she can put on some sad music for you. “I was abandoned at birth by my mother.”

Everyone in the group gasps in unison, even the people inside the Laundry Cart.

“Oh no…” Ichie is horrified. “That horrible woman was worse than I thought.”

“What? Y-You can’t actually believe that!” Vender is puzzled.

“Then I was raised in an orphanage, they abandoned me too.” You continue your sad tale.

Everyone in the group gasps in unison, even the people inside the Laundry Cart… again.

“No…! How could the state do something like that…?” Ichie is really buying it.

“They couldn’t, because it didn’t happen!” Vender is dumbfounded.

“Stop living in your bubble, Vender. This is what reality is like in this country.” Ichie scolds the insensitive idiot.

“I’m not living a bubble! I’m not just mentally challenged! There is nothing wrong with that, it’s just that this story is full of lies!” Vender is really frustrated.

“But that’s not all. After that, I was raised by a pack of ugly monkeys that looked like that guy.” You point at Vender.

“I always said that he had certain similarities with chimpanzees.” Ichie nods.

“How is this part not made up?!” Vender waves his arms in confusion.

“It’s the easiest part to believe.” Maggie retorts.

“AAagh…” Vender feels offended.

“They abandoned me too.” You look down.

Everyone in the group gasps in unison, except the people inside the laundry cart.

“How can this world be so cruel…?” Ichie can’t believe this…

“Best decision they made, if you ask me.” Vender mutters to himself.

“Stop being so insensitive!” Ichie scolds Vender once again. “I can’t believe you’re one of Aleister’s associates with that attitude.”

“I actually do something for him, unlike a certain lady!” Vender is being really petty right now.

“Can you please stop interrupting me?” You want to end your sad tale.

“Pardon us.” Ichie bows apologetically.

“I had to fend for myself in the streets, until my dear brother found me and we reunited as a family after years of struggle. Now I work as a janitor, the end.” You finish your stupid tale.

“A tearjerker…” Ichie takes a napkin out to clean the sole tear that left her right eye. “Dear Brother Wilfred, I’m one of Alfred’s closest friends! Here, I have the pictures to prove it! I hope we can build a good relationship as well!” Ichie shows you a bunch of pictures from yesterday… when did she take them…?

“Enough chit chat, I know you’re lying, Alfred Brown! You’re an expert at that! I, Vender Duss, will put to an end to your dumb charades once and for all!” Vender is ready to fight.

In fact, without any warning, he throws himself at you as he brings his vacuums out – but then…

Spectralhound makes his grand appearance! He punches Vender mid-air to save you!

“GAaaah…!” Vender drops on the floor.

“That’s for leaving me in jail!” Spectralhound points at Vender as he tries to recuperate. “I’m repaying you for the favor I owe ya, Wilfred! You had it rough, buddy.” The Rockstar announces to the group.

“Thanks.” You didn’t need the help, but you appreciate the gesture.

“I-Ichie, why didn’t you help me?! Don’t tell me you’re turning into a naughty girl as well?!” Vender has the chance to scold Ichie.

“P-Pardon, but I feel like you deserve it.” Ichie shakes her head.

“Have you been brainwashed?! I’m going to tell Aleister unless you stop them…!” Vender starts punching the floor from the frustration.

“We have other duties to attend to!” Ichie and Vender are going to keep arguing with each other.

What do you do?

“We’re leaving them to you, Spectralhound. I’m a mere janitor.” You don’t want to waste more time here. You all start running away.

“Yeah, these chumps can’t take me down.” Spectralhound will fight for you all.

“Huh?! You think I can be stopped by the likes of Spectralhound?! I’m more than a cut above this simpleton! He’s just a little above a background character at best!” Vender feels incredibly offended by your comments.

“B-But I’m not your enemy! I showed you the pictures…!” Ichie didn’t like those words. She’s running alongside you, trying to show you the pictures again. “Look!”

“…” You don’t look her way.

“Nice little missy, please stop bugging us! We need to take these civilians to safety!” Guard 1 tries to convince Ichie to go.

“Yes, we appreciate your concern, but it’s best if you leave them for later!” Guard 2 joins his efforts.

NO!” Ichie jumps in front of you all, making the Guards stop moving the Laundry Cart to your dismay. “I’m at my limit, I cannot stand another failure after what happened yesterday! Is it that you don’t trust me, Wilfred?”

“Get, like, a clue, girl! He wants none of it!” Maggie gets all mad.

“Yeah, move out of the way! We’re in danger!” Catastrovania didn’t have to act this part.

“Hold on second, these two are Alfred’s repugnant leeches.” Ichie realizes Maggie and Catastrovania are, in fact, here. “Which means, Vender is correct…?”

“No, no, no, I’m Cocostrovania, and this… eeeh… Muggie? Was it?” Catastrovania tries to continue your play.

“Stop this nonsense. You’re obviously lying!” Ichie doesn’t believe it, not even for one second. “You’re not Wilfred! He must be somewhere else! Alfred, why are you lying to me? Friends don’t lie to each other!” Ichie looks betrayed.

How do you respond?

>“Ichie, we were never friends.” Deal an emotional blow she can’t recover from.
>“I’m not lying, I’m just hanging out with Alfred’s friends.” Try to spin the tale somewhere else.

“No, these are actually Cocotravania and Maggie II. They work here, and if they look like his friends, it’s a mere coincidence.” You’re consistent with your play.

“Hmm… Hmmmmm…. HMMMMM…!” Ichie is intensively staring at you to gauge if you’re lying or not.

“Say something else.” Odetta wants to get going.

“Ichie, you need to help Aleister, remember?” You go for plan B.

“You’re completely correct, Wilfred!” Ichie realizes. “We’ll continue this conversation later!” Ichie walks away towards the crowd who’s defending the door.

“Why are all the cute girls we know dumb as bricks?” Guard 2 wonders.

“Maybe you have a type.” Guard shrugs.

“Let’s get out of here please…” Catastrovania is tired of this nonsense. You are as well.

“Yeah, like, I’ll even help.” Maggie wants to push the Laundry Cart as well.

For the first time, everyone here is pushing together towards the exit. It’s only a few feet away. This is about to be over…!

It would be a nice moment but the situation has drastically changed…

“T-Those are the bastards, Zama! They have the bucket and Ubaldo!” It’s that thug from underground, he’s standing next to the leader of the Vatalaro Family and a couple of thugs behind them. They are coming out of the elevator right next to yours.

“I told you we should’ve beaten them up!” The Masked man and Cranky man are there as well. Cranky facepalms after what Masked man said.

“Who are you people and what is your business here?!” Zama doesn’t know you’re you, thankfully.

And at the same time, from the stairs right next to the elevators, coming from underground…

“T-There they are! Stop them!” It’s Don Sato and her gang of fools, they finally reached this floor! They look tired from running. They are slow…

“If there is anyone that is going to teach those nasty girls a lesson, it’s going to be ME!!!” Vender shouts as he starts avoiding Spectralhound moves and runs towards you.

Uh-oh…

What do you do?

>Tell Masen to throw their leader out of the cart and keep running away!

“Aleister is about to enter, I would deal with him instead of chasing us around!!!” You point at the entrance to make these idiots realize their problem is way bigger than you all. You start running…

“Tch… He’s right.” Zama indicates to his men to defend the entrance. “Go, defending ourselves from Aleister is a better idea! Take his ally out! That girl!”

“Everyone, aid the barricade now! Do everything you can!” Don Sato falls for your bait as well.

“Mmm? You’re trying to stop me?” Ichie smiles, she’s already by the barricade and pushing people around. She’s way too fast, and you don’t think those thugs will arrive on time to stop anything!

“ALFRED BROWN! HE’S MY ALLY! THAT WON’T STOP ME!” Vender is the only one who remains unaffected for obvious reasons, he rapidly gets closer and closer.

“I’m tired of listening to this guy’s nonsense! Keep going! I’m going to get rid of him with my new trick!” Odetta exclaims as she splashes out of your phone. The green lighting bolt starts flying around!

“Odetta?!” Catastrovania notices as well.

“Did she say Odetta…?” The thug from underground looks dumbfounded.

The green lighting bolt traverses the air until you can’t see it any longer, from what you can tell, she was going towards Vender!

“Huh?! W-What’s going on?! These are high quality brand machinery! Just like someone like MEEeEEEee desER—...!!!!” Vender exclaims as his vacuums start going crazy, making him trip onto the ground… Then smoke comes out of them and Vender starts getting electrocuted! “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!

Vender is toast, he drops to the ground, twitching all over the place, unconscious. After a couple of seconds, Odetta returns.

“See? This is the potential you gave me, aren’t you happy we’re friends?” Odetta is really happy to have met you.

“We’re so damn close to the exit!” Maggie shouts as you’re mere inches away from the door.

And then you heard it, like a wrecking ball coming through the wall, Aleister Price has arrived inside the building! You see the mayhem he created, part of the wall has been torn apart, the doors are down and between the rubbish you can see some thugs unconscious. Hell, he even made the ground shake from his entrance alone. You had to stop just not to lose your balance.

I told you, you can’t keep justice from entering from the front door!” Aleister shouts despite already using a megaphone.

“Welcome, Aleister!” Ichie smiles towards her dear friend.

Thanks, Saionji!” Aleister shouts on her face. You don’t know how she isn’t deaf. “Now, where in heaven is that bucket?!

THOSE JANITORS HAVE IT!” Both Zama Vatalaro and Penelope Don Sato shout and point at you to reveal the fact that you have the town’s treasure.

Uh-oh...” Catastrovania knows you’re in trouble.

You’ll pay for blaming me for your siiiiins!” Aleister says and drops the megaphone, then he starts running with incredible speed towards you all.

“W-Wait, Aleister, I don’t think they…” Ichie tried, but she was ignored by her best friend. “…have it.”

“Fucking run!” Maggie shouts. You have no idea how you managed, but you somehow reached the door in record time but… “A-Are you kidding me!? The emergency exit is closed?!” Maggie tries to open it up but can’t.

“Screw it, lass! Just kick it!” Both Guards get in position to bring the door down. They tried once, but it’s not effective.

“He’s going to get hereeeee…!” Catastrovania is panicking. Everyone is panicking. He’s halfway here…!

Everyone is in danger, you must do something!

You don’t have any other option but to intercept Aleister yourself.

“Everyone, get out of here.” You stop holding the cart and start running towards the bastard.

“A-Allie?! Wait!” Maggie wants none of this.

“Al, Y-You can do it!” Catastrovania believes in you.

“Damn, the kid is gonna throw his life away and we can’t even kick this stupid door down.” Guard 1 laments.

“No wonder we lost 3 of our last jobs in a month…” Guard 2 is sad as well.

“There is no point in hiding if everyone knows we’re here. Leave the door to me, I’ll unlock it.” Camilo comes out of the Laundry Cart to help with the door. “C’mon Al…”

“Alfred…” Masen just looks your way, awestruck.

“Allie…!” Maggie shouts once again…!





“I’M GOING TO STOP YOU ALL!” Aleister charges forward like a wild gorilla.

You get closer…

And closer…

And…

“Shut up.” You will stop him.

“GET OUT OF MY WAAAAAY…!” Aleister is going to strike you as well.

Your fists seem to clash in each other's faces, but the truth is… you barely managed to evade Aleister’s. He drops back, he couldn’t stop his momentum to evade but this didn’t faze him. It was like hitting a brick wall. He’s a monster.

“Your arms… your arms are just too short to box with GOD!” Aleister starts laughing. “I’ll show you JUSTICE’S REACH!” He charges towards you.

“Aleister! Wilfred! Stop! This is just a misunderstanding!” Ichie shouts.

“Bring it.” You expect everyone to be escaping by now.

Aleister charges towards you like a mad bull, you wait to counter his idiotic move; but before you two can clash again, another man appears out of the blue! He grapples the mad bastard and uses his momentum to throw him back where he was before.

“Maggie, Alfred, sorry for being late.” It’s Master Pete! Your karate teacher who looks like a walrus!

“Huh…” You weren’t expecting any help. Less from a guy whose class you attended like twice…

Master Walruuuuuuuus!” Maggie shouts from where she is.

“Who…?” Catastrovania is so confused by this development.

“T-That’s not my name!” Master Pete shouts back.

“That’s not Karate.” You notice…

“Yeah, it’s Judo. I’m a little rusty, but… it’s a long story.” Master Pete almost forgot that he’s in a battle. “I’ll take things from here, get out and take the bucket.”

What do you do?

All our gear is in the van. Allister is going full throttle and if we stick, the mafia is going to try and use us as a peace offering. We get to the van, we get our squishies to safety and get to a location where we can use everything we can.
If he follows us, we would drag him from the mess and limit casualties to everyone we like.
Sides, something about how he does things makes me think he gets stronger the more aggression is shown and I bet if we play smart, we can use his collateral causing power to smash up his own stores on the way out.

“Thank you, Master Pete.” You cannot waste your master’s valiant sacrifice; you need to go.

“Before you go, Alfred, Maggie…” Master Pete gets in his combat stance. “You’ve grown a lot.”

“…” You nod and start running away. You cannot look back.

“D-Did I get pudgy again…?” Maggie looks down to her tummy.

“T-That’s not what he meant...” Catastrovania shakes her head.

But not even 5 seconds after that exchange, Master Pete is sent packing by Ichie with a swift kick, your master bounces on the ground a couple of times after such a cheap shot.

“MASTER PEEEEEETE!” Maggie and Catastrovania shout in dismay.

“Don’t you dare hurt my fRieNds.” Ichie’s ire is palpable.

…But that wasn’t enough.

“…Hmph.” Master Pete stands up, he’s not dead yet. “A girl your age taught me a valuable lesson after defeating me weeks ago. I’m not going to underestimate my opponents. Now I’ll stop you both!” Master Pete prepares to fight both Aleister and Ichie somehow.

“It sounds exactly like you are.” Ichie has a rare no-nonsense attitude.

You’re getting closer to your team…

“Those who can still fight! Listen to me! Capture those Janitors, now!” Don Sato orders her men around to stop you all. “We’ll show Aleister we’re on his side!”

“Aye!” The couple of men under her command start going towards your friends.

“Do as she says! The Min-Hu Alliance will fight as one once again!” Zama Vatalaro has no issues following this plan. “Bucket be damned, our lives are at stake!”

“Roger.” His favorite thug nods.

“Yeaaah!” His other men will go through with this. There are 4 men on Zama's side, and 5 on Don Sato’s.

S-Stooooooooop!” Clyde shouts right next to Don Sato. You forgot he was even a thing. “Boss, if we help them, the war… the war…!”

Shut your mouth.” Don Sato kicks Clyde in the face and away from her. “I’m doing what I can!”

“Y-You don’t care…! You don’t care about what is going to happen…! Damn it, Wessam was right! You all are crazy! I’m going to find my own damn way to stop this…!” Clyde runs away to the safest escape route at this point: the entrance.

“They’re coming!” Guard 1 notices that Don Sato and Vatalaro are also targeting you all.

“C-Can we try kicking it again!?” Guard 2 wants the door open now.

“Just give me a second, I’m almost done!” Camilo pleads for a little more time.

“I’ll fend them off…” Masen is ready to defend everyone here. Maggie and Catastrovania are too busy watching your escape to care about being attacked by random thugs.

“Stop trying to act cool, kid. It doesn’t suit you.” Guard 1 stands by Masen’s side.

“You think you can stop them on your own? What a joke.” Guard 2 stands by Masen’s other side.

“Hmm…?” Masen looks at them both with a certain air of confusion.

We’re going to help.” The both guards say in unison. “But where do we start?” They ask because they are being flanked by both sides.

“Who cares?!” Nightmare Maggie shouts to those 3. She’s on the way to Zama's men since they are closer. “Now, Catastrovania!”

ORBICULAR SHATTERSTAR!” Catastrovania throws a bunch of marbles on the ground, and makes the thugs trip!

Eat this!” Maggie jumps in the air and stomps on two of the thugs’ faces.

“GaaaAh…!” They scream together until they pass out. Good-bye Masked thug and Cranky man.

“You’re 100 years too young to defeat us!” Catastrovania smugly proclaims.

“W-What’s this nonsense…?” Zama’s favorite thug stops before tripping.

It’s our fighting style!” Both Maggie and Catastrovania shout full of pride.

“Back off, Ascher. I have a plan.” Zama tells his only man up to stop his pursuit.

It’s open, everybody!” Camilo lets everyone know the good news. The escape route has been secured!

“Saionji, deal with that old man! I’M TAKING WHAT’S RIGHTFULLY MINE!” Aleister begins his new bull charge.

Oooh, Aleister is depending on me…!” Ichie cannot be happier.

“I said I’m going to stop you both!” Master Pete tries to interfere, but Ichie gets in his way.

“Aleister is depending on me!!” Ichie is vibrant with joy still, she tries to kick Master Pete again, but she gets grabbed mid-air. “Huh?! Who’s restraining me?!”

“It’s MeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee…!” Spectralhound is still here, he’s stopping Ichie from helping out. “Stop that truck face from getting to them now, old man!” Spectralhound tells Master Pete to move on. The big man nods and runs towards Aleister. “After I deal with all of you, I’m going to get that refund! THIS TOURING COMPANY SUCKS!” Spectralhound yells at Ichie.

“I sympathize with your struggle, but what does it have to do with me?!” Ichie doesn’t get it and she wants out of the bear hug.

“A-Are you kidding me?! You were the one who told the police I helped Vender!” Spectralhound won’t forgive easily.

Still, Aleister is too far out for Master Pete to interfere. But then, out of the ground, a mysterious shadow creeps under Aleister and makes him trip by grabbing his feet…! He loses balance and crashes down onto the floor rather catastrophically…

“Did I just trip…?” Aleister recuperates almost immediately, but sits on the ground to think about what happened. “Doesn’t matter! I need that bucket!” He stands up.

“You’ll have to defeat me first.” Master Pete gets in his way again.

“Get out of here…” Aleister is getting angrier.

After what it felt like an eternity, you reach everyone…!

“Let’s get out of here, Allie!” Nightmare Maggie knows it’s time to go.

Camilo, Masen and the guards push the Laundry Cart through the backdoor, leaving the exit open to everyone. They are outside! It’s time for you to follow, but…

“You’re not leaving this place...” Don Sato and her thugs reach your spot, she stands in front of her men ready to lead the charge. It’s you, Maggie and Catastrovania against those 4.
But suddenly, a shadow creeps under Don Sato and starts asphyxiating her. Then she gets violently thrown to the ground, leaving her unconscious. Upon seeing this, the thugs just run away…

“I’ll make sure those two will be safe. Now go...” It’s Iamar, the culprit of the dancer case and the owner of the strange ghost! She’s part of the bucket retrieving group! She shows up from behind the dissolved group of thugs. She’ll make sure Master Pete and Spectralhound will see this through.

How do you respond?

The real revenge was the accomplices along the way.
Funny aside, with the alliance leader in tow, we probably have a way to both end the war and get on top of it. Guy will sing to survive all this, and that can be helpful. Not liking what Zama has in store though.

“Thank you, we’ll make sure the bucket is safe!” You are going to do this, god damn it!

“B-Be sure to take care of yourselves as well…” Iamar didn’t expect you to talk about the bucket for some odd reason.

“Fufufu~, we will.” Catastrovania acknowledges before stepping out first out of the building.

“Thanky!” Maggie is happy to get the help of someone she has no idea about.

You all step out of the building through the backdoor entrance, you’re at the parking lot, and for some odd reason the van is straight in front of the entrance, and around it are dozens and dozens of homeless men knocked out on the ground and Ichie’s two bodyguards. Camilo, the guards, Masen, Bruce and… Yevtushenkov are moving the bodies out of the way of the van! You start helping them!

“What the hell happened?” You wonder.

“A-A random group of homeless men attacked me… This guy here helped me beat them. I-It was no big deal, haha.” Bruce explains. You think these homeless men were part of Los Iluminados… You wonder why they were here.

“I called Bruce so he parked in front of the exit, but that’s when they showed up.” Odetta peeks out of the van. She’s back in her body. “The Laundry Cart is inside the van already, if you’re worried about the stupid bucket.”

“We still need to move these people away so we can leave.” Camilo says as he drags a stinky man out of the way.

“Good. You’re all here.” Yevtushenkov seems happy to see you doing well. “Get out. Help Jean-Loup. I’ll make sure the other members of the Bucket group are safe.” He walks inside the building without giving much of an explanation again. You wave him goodbye.

“We’re done with the bodies.” Guard 1 exclaims as a clear path is in front of the van.

“Let’s get out of here.” Guard 2 wants nothing to do with this anymore.

“C’mon, Allie, you heard them!” Maggie is already inside the van.

“Hop in, you fools!” Catastrovania is tired of waiting.

“All right, all right!” Masen starts running.

You all go inside the van: You, Maggie, Catastrovania, Bruce, Odetta, Masen, Camilo, Jean-Loup, the Bucket, the guards and the laundry cart. Bruce starts driving you off all carefully to not run over any of the homeless people who are close...

Where do you go now?

We do have some skill in healing. We could at least ease Jean Loup or figure how bad it is. We do have some contacts in the hospital as well, so they might be good to call. Also,talk to Camilo. He might have more information, a place where they would take the possible injured on this op, or at least somewhere that isn't directly to a ambush point.

The van leaves the parking lot to the street, and everyone inside the van feels like they can start relaxing just a tiny bit.

“Bruce, take us to the hospital, I think Jean-Loup is not doing well.” You tell your friend as you get yourself comfortable in the copilot seat.

“I thought you were going to say that we were going to deliver the bucket back for a second there.” Catastrovania throws you under the bus.

“Yeah, same.” Maggie nods happily.

“Can’t disagree, sorry.” Masen feels guilty agreeing.

“It wouldn’t have surprised me, but regardless, it’s funny.” Odetta smirks.

“…” Bruce quietly agrees as he continues driving.

“You guys don’t have a good opinion of Al, do you…?” Camilo finds your supposed friends odd.

You don’t know why you even bother.

“I don’t know, I would fu—”

“Not to rain in your parade, kids. But there is a car chasing us.” Guard 1 interrupts Maggie to make everyone (but Bruce, since he’s driving.) to look at the back.

There is a red car chasing you and chasing you fast. You realize the person driving is none other than Zama Vatalaro and next to him is his thug, Ascher! This isn’t over yet…!

“Oh come on…!” Maggie wants this to be over.

“Those idiots never give up, do they? I hate them so much...” Odetta says with a lot of disdain.

“Hey kid, another brilliant idea or something?” Guard 2 asks since you’re the leader.

“Hey Odetta, can you make their car malfunction? Because if you can, please do it.” You ask your ghost.

“Eh? You want me to do this? You want me to take care of Zinon?” Odetta looks confused for some odd reason.

“Yeah, please do.” You think she’s got this.

“It’s a car, I don’t know if I can do it, really. Maybe it’s a little too much for me, I’m still a novice with this ability.” Odetta expresses doubts in her abilities for the first time since you’ve known her.

“C’mon, Oddy! I know you can do it! Like, believe in yourself!” Maggie throws some good vibes.

“Yeah, what she said!” Both Guards believe in Odetta.

“Whatever you can do, please do it fast, they are getting closer.” Camilo notices that you don’t have much time.

“Fiiine, I don’t like when people egg on me like that.” Odetta rolls her eyes.

“S-Same…” Bruce feels a connection with Odetta.

“Here I go…” Odetta leaves her body and goes to do the deed.

You see the criminals’ car lose control for a little bit, then smoke starts coming out of their engine, making them ultimately stop. Few seconds later, Odetta is back.

“There! It wasn’t as easy or as impactful as before, but the job got done.” Odetta smirks.

“Hooray for Odetta, the QUEEN of GHOSTS!” Catastrovania proclaims as victory has been taken.

“Q-Queen of what..?!” Odetta looks offended.

“Hooray…” Everyone half-assedly chants.

“Thanks, Odetta.” You’re safe, you’ve done it, you’ve…

“Not to poop on your party, kids. But they are now chasing us on a bike…” Guard 2 Interrupts your celebration to make everyone (but Bruce again) look at the back again.

“A two-man bike, seriously...?” Masen doesn’t know how to feel about this.

“I think they are faster than before...” Maggie notices. They actually are…

…Why is everyone so relaxed? You’re being chased by criminals.

“Bruce. Drive in circles until they get tired.” You propose.

“B-But why…?” Bruce doesn’t get it.

“It will be funny.” If no one is going to take this seriously, you won’t either.

“W-What a-about his dad…?” Bruce reminds you of Jean-Loup.

“Don’t worry, kid. He’s stable.” Guard 1 calms Bruce down.

“I mean we wouldn’t be as casual about this if that wasn’t the case.” Guard 2 supports.

“I-If you say so…” Bruce does as you say.

“He’s breathing, alright…” Odetta puts her hand above Jean-Loup’s face to check.

“S-Stop that!” Masen gets a little angry.

“You should’ve worried about your daddy before getting captured.” Odetta has no chill.

“Ngh…” Masen feels bad about it.

“This is the part where one of you should tell her to be nicer to your friend…” Camilo looks around to your mates.

“Don’t look at me, I’m still salty that he, like, abandoned us.” Maggie shakes her head; she wants none of this.

“Ngh…” Masen feels even worse.

“We did have to replace him with Catastrovania of all people.” You retort.

“Ngh…” Both Catastrovania and Masen feel bad about it.

After several minutes of driving around in circles, both Zama Vatalaro and his friend Ascher can’t keep with you and drop on the street all tired. You tell Bruce to go to the hospital now and leave those idiots behind.

You’re in the parking lot trying to find a spot, there are a lot more cars than usual, as Bruce maneuvers the car around – you finally find a spot on this busy day. But as soon as you get close to it, you get face to face with another car, this gaudy car is not familiar to you in the slightest, but the people inside are: In the back, Aleister, Ichie and Vender’s corpse are sitting next to each other, they have a random butler driving it… You’re all staring at each other, unmoving.

“U-Uh-oh...” Bruce says.

“Uh-oh.” Catastrovania says.

“Oh crap.” Odetta says.

“Oh shit.” Maggie says.

“Oh no.” Masen says.

“Oh damn.” Camilo says.

Hahaha…” You laugh. All of your friends turn to you, dumbfounded. “I think this is funny.”

“I think we’re trapped here.” Guard 1 notices.

“How unfortunate.” Guard 2 lost hope.

This is bad…

“Guards, take Jean-Loup to the hospital. We’re going to stop these guys.” You announce to the group you have no other option but to fight.

“Are you sure, kid?” Guard 1 wants your confirmation.

“Don’t be ashamed of trying to run again.” Guard 2 doesn’t want you to feel like you have to.

“It’s fine… This is long overdue.” You’ve been waiting for this…

“We know we’re like just some random strangers but… ehm… we believe in you, kids. Well, I do, I don’t know about my partner.” Guard 1 gives you good vibes as they both start grabbing Jean-Loup.

“I mean, I agree, why wouldn’t I? We’ll help this old man, don’t worry about him.” Guard 2 doesn’t know why his partner had doubts about his commitment. “Good luck.”

“Thank you.” Masen says to both men.

Both Guards carry Jean-Loup out of the van, it doesn’t seem like Aleister and his band of idiots are going to stop them.

“W-Who were they…?” Bruce asks really, really late.

“That doesn’t matter now, does it?” Camilo knows there is something else to worry about. “Frankly, I don’t know either…” Camilo is curious about it too.

“Are we actually doing this…?” Maggie is not so sure if this a good idea.

“I mean, we have all our weapons here. Why not?” You take a bag from underneath the copilot seat with all the weapons you’ve collected in this long journey.

“Oh my…” Odetta likes what she’s seeing.

“HEY PIPSQUEAKS!” It’s Aleister, he’s using his megaphone again. “YOU DON’T HAVE ANYWHERE TO RUN! SO FIGHT ME! You have 10 minutes to come out or else I’ll destroy your VAN with my bare hands!”

“T-That’s one way to declare war...” Camilo isn’t comfortable with how casual Aleister is.

“W-Why don't I have problems believing he can actually do it?” Catastrovania is nervous about this.

“Well, Al, it’s your call. How do we go about this?” Masen wants to hear the big order from you.

How do you respond?

“I’m not taking anyone who’s not willing to fight with me. I’ll face him alone if I have to.” You look at everyone present. “Besides, someone needs to take care of the bucket.”

“You’re going to allow oh poor me to fight as well? Interesting.” Odetta smirks. She knows she’s all bones.

“It’s up to you.” You’re not going to deny anyone the chance to beat Aleister.

“I’m going! I don’t have anything else to live for! I told you, Allie! I just want to stab that bastard’s face, didn’t I?! I’LL SHOW YOU!” Maggie wants her own revenge on Aleister.

“The only thing running away brought me was more suffering, and I’m really pissed off about it! I’m going to beat the crap out of this son of a bitch! If it wasn’t for him, none of this would’ve happened!” Masen is angry like you’ve never seen him before. “I’M IN!”

Fufufu…! Is that even a question? I’m Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros IX! I’m 600 years old, an ex-combatant in the Construct Wars, and a metahuman beyond your comprehension! I lead the GREATEST LEGION of DARKNESS! I’ll secure victory for all of you! Let’s do this!” Catastrovania is more confident than normal. “PLEASE PROTECT ME!”

“Y-Yeah, sure.” Bruce is in as well!

“Revenge is a wonderful activity to let stress out, and imagining his brother’s face when he finds what’s left of his brother after this brings me great joy. Hehhehe, even if I’m a sack of bones, I’LL HELP.” Odetta grins from ear to ear as sadistically as she inhumanly can.

“Damn, you all hate this guy’s guts, I barely know him and I can tell why. I’ll stay here taking care of the bucket though, I don’t want to interfere with your enjoyment.” Camilo will stay defending the fort. “I wish you the best of luck. If things look dire, I’ll intervene.”

“Any words of encouragement, Al? I know you’ve been waiting for this moment for a long ass time.” Odetta wants to hear your thoughts.

“Be careful with the eyes, he spits a lot when he’s talking.” You deadpan. You’re in a good mood.

“…” None of your shitty ‘friends’ laughed. In fact, they are more confused as to why you’re throwing jokes at this moment, with two exceptions: Maggie nodded as she thought it was relevant, and Odetta rolled her eyes.

“It’s true though.” You smirk. “Jokes aside, thank you, everyone. Let’s carve our names on his skull.”

“YEAAAH!” Masen is being way enthusiastic.

“YEAAAH!” Maggie as well.

“Now that’s more like it!” Odetta chuckles.

“Fufufu~, well said, assistant!” Catastrovania smiles.

“S-Sounds disgusting, and I-I don’t know if they’ll fit, but we will try.” Bruce is ready as well.

“Are you guys stalling or something…? You have been ready for 5 minutes.” Camilo is a bit confused.

“D-Don’t rush us! Don’t you see that this is, like, an emotional moment?!” Maggie didn’t like him pressuring you all.

“There is nothing emotional about beating that bastard up, but let’s enjoy ourselves.” You smile and get out of the van.

“G-Good luck, everyone!” Camilo wishes you all well.

Somehow all the cars around you were moved away to encircle everyone into a battlefield. Only your van and their car remain within the ring. You don’t know how they did that or care, this is a good place to die. All 6 of you stand in front of the van, right next to each other. Similarly, Aleister and Ichie are in front of you, next to each other… Oh, you noticed Vender on the ground. You think he’s dead.

“It was about time! I was getting impatient!” Aleister is still using the megaphone. He’s always impatient. “So where is the bucket?!”

“You’ll have to defeat us first if you wanna know, you ugly bastard.” Maggie gives him a stink eye.

“I’m not a bastard, I know my parents! May they rest in peace.” Aleister looks sad for a second, then he goes back to being a maniac. “Also, I’m incredibly handsome!”

“Dear Aleister, don’t respond to the lowly insults of this repugnant good-for-nothing woman.” Ichie stares at Maggie with disgust. “Sorry, Wilfred! But this is your last chance! Please hand us that disgusting bucket, and Aleister will be so magnanimous to spare your life!”

“You think after all we went through; he would hand it over just like that!?” Masen shouts all furious.

“My, my, calm down! How can you equate a human life to an object?” Ichie looks down on Masen. “But that’s what society teaches us, that the human life has monetary value. How saddening.”

“I told you, Saionji, they only had one chance! Now I’ll impart my solemn judgment as I see fit!” Aleister wants to beat you people up.

“I’m sorry everyone, but Aleister is at his limit. I can’t do more!” Ichie apologizes.

“H-Have you ever done anything useful…?” Bruce is confused as to why Ichie is here.

“I-I’m useful! I swear! I’ll show you!” Ichie will provide support to Aleister. But that’s not all. “You think we would come to this understaffed medical establishment to help Vender?!”

uuh…” That sound comes out of Vender’s dead body.

“No, in fact, we have the greatest medical staff in the world at our disposal. We’re here because we’re so generous that we spared the lives of the people who raised their hands against us! Look!” Ichie goes to the back of their car and opens the trunk, then she starts throwing trash bags onto the ground. One after another, there are so many. They are big, and they are moving a little... “See? We brought them all to get their medical treatment!”

“Y-You brought them all in trash bags…?” Catastrovania is horrified. “Like, you’re not kidding me here…?”

“Not any kind of trash bag! They are recyclable! We have to take care of the environment!” Ichie smiles from ear to ear. “Also, they have a couple of holes in them for them to breath! We care about human life!”

“HAHAHAHA!” Aleister starts laughing. “Saionji always get mad when I call this place the human scum dump!”

“I mean, it is such an insensitive joke, isn’t it?” Ichie looks concerned.

“Why are rich people always so fucked up…?” Even Odetta is like ‘hell no’.

“Hey, Wally or whatever! Here!” Aleister goes to the trunk and throws one big ass trash bag. “Here’s the old man, PyaAYahahah… God damn it! God damn it! I don’t like when I laugh like that. Anyway, aren’t you glad you two are reunited?!”

M-Master Pete…?” Maggie can’t believe her eyes.

“What a terrible name, HAHAHA!” Aleister starts laughing.

“A-Are the others… t-the people who helped us…?” Masen is getting sick. You can hear their voices… They are in pain...

Yevtushenkov…?” Bruce realizes too.

Iamar…?” Catastrovania is about to puke.

One of them is Spectralhound as well…

“You’re Pathetic.” You walk forward.

“T-That’s one of Aleister's most disliked words!” Ichie looks worried, really worried. “H-How am I going to explain to my friend Al what’s about to happen to his brother…?”

“Y-You… You…! YOOUuuUuuu…! YOOOOOOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH…!!” Aleister is so angry that he can’t connect his two brain cells to say anything. He charges forward.

“A-Al, be careful!” Bruce is worried.

“H-He’s really pissed!” Catastrovania shouts.

“Hehe, he shrieks like a pig.” Odetta is amused.

“Let’s break his face!” Maggie is ready to fight.

“YEAH!” Masen is still hyped.

The Grand battle is about to start…!

[Combat Rules]

-It’s Turn Based combat.
-The Objective is for your party’s units to incapacitate all the enemy’s units.
-To incapacitate a unit you need to drain their Hit Points (HP) to 0.
-Other ways to win is by your opponent surrendering or escaping the battle (You can do the same, but you obviously lose.)

-Turn Order is determined by how the Battle began in story. Otherwise, whoever has more SPD points is the first attacker and so forth.

For example: If you sneak attack someone you are first! But if you get sneak attacked, you go last...

Combat is divided in 2 phases:

First Phase

You decide what actions to take and order your party members around. Then see how it plays out.

As the Main Character, you decide what action to take between these 4:

-Attack: Select an enemy target and throw the dice to see how much damage you do to it (dice faces depending on the attack). Opponent has a chance to mitigate damage or evade it all (dice dependent as well).
-Skill: Your Skills have use now! You can use each individually once per fight! Skills don’t require rolls unless said otherwise.
-Item: Use an Item you have. Effects vary on the items. These don’t require dice rolls.
-Escape: Throw the dice; the higher the number, the higher the chances of escaping. Opponent has a chance to keep you in battle (dice dependent as well).

You also need to decide between “Defend” or “Evade” if you choose to stay in battle. After both actions have been settled, I’ll ask for the respective dice rolls:

—Defend: You roll the dice, the damage you receive is the attacker’s roll minus the roll you threw, if you manage to surpass his number, you will still receive 1 damage regardless.
—Evade: You roll the dice, if your number is higher than the attacker’s number; you get to dodge all damage. Else, you suffer it all.

In case anyone tries to escape, the other party can select between “Chase” or “Don’t Chase.”

—Chase: Both the Characters throw the dice, if the one who is chasing gets a higher number he won’t let the other escape. Otherwise the fight is over.
—Don’t Chase: Automatically the opponent escapes. The party who stays wins by default.


As for your party members, since this is the final battle, they will follow your orders without hesitation – but they have their own agency, meaning you don’t have to roll for them. The actions they can take are pretty self-explanatory (Attack, Skills and Stay out of Trouble.)

The Second Phase is to see how everything pans out. I will ask for rolls if necessary (like the enemy trying to escape or something.)

Fighting Stats and You.

Each individual character has Fighting Stats, each one of them (Except HP) help the dice rolls as modifiers! For each point, you get an additional point to your dice roll. Rolls won’t go to negative numbers, the least you can have is 0.

For Example: You have +1 in Attack and you rolled 3, you do 4 damage!
Another Example: You have -1 in Attack and you rolled 2, you do 1 damage…

STR: Adds to your Attacking Rolls.
DEF: Adds to your Defending Rolls.
EVD: Adds to your Evasion Rolls.
SPD: Adds to your Chasing and Escaping Rolls. Also determines Turn Order.

Now everyone has skills because the final fight needs to be over complicated for some reason:

Alfred's skillset:

+(Weapon Skill) Crazy Slugger Home Run: Roll 1d20 for Damage. Likely to Miss.
+Sewing Skill Lv. 4 : Hits for 2 True Damage. Doesn’t let the enemy escape for the entirety of the battle, and your opponent can’t dodge next turn.

+Driving Lv.2 : You gain +1 in SPD for 5 turns.

+Acting Lv.5: Alfred unleashes his secret technique. Works differently on women.
+Counter Boxing Lv.1: You received no damage, if you receive a Physical attack, Roll 1d4 For Damage + half the amount of damage you were going to receive.


Maggie's skillset:

+Maggie Stomp: Hits one opponent for 3 True Damage.
+Maggie Cheer: Maggie will cheer one Ally unit up. Ally units who like Maggie will receive +2 STR, and those who dislike Maggie will receive +2 EVD to get away from her, both for the next 2 turns.
+Charming Chat Time: Opponents who like Maggie won't be able to move for 1 turn, others will target her for the next turn.
+Angelic Treatment: Summons Ascended Maggie to fully heal one ally.
+Let's do this, Allie: Will aid Alfred's next attack somehow.
+Catty Cat's Combo: Will aid Catastrovania's next attack somehow.


Catastrovania's skillset:

+Pocket Sandstorm: Blind opponents. Greatly decreases the accuracy of an opponent for 2 turns.
+Wicked Shell Mode: Catastrovania uses Alfred as a shield. Alfred receives all damage for Catastrovania for 3 turns.
+Orbicular Shatterstar: Opponents lose balance. They can't Dodge or Escape for 1 turn.
+Summon -Descensus-: Invokes her Secret Construct onto the field. Maybe. Or Probably Nothing.
+Vulcan Hail of Bullets: Probably Nothing.
+Psychometric Booster: Probably Nothing.
+Argus Buster Knockout Blitzes: Probably Nothing.
+Digerati Discombobulous: Probably Nothing.
+Triumvirate Aegis of the Crown: Probably Nothing but with Chess Pieces.


Bruce's skillset:

+Ignoring the Problem: Bruce receives no damage for this turn.
+Leave it to Bruce: Bruce will receive all damage for another unit.
+A Long Lasting Friendship: Will make sure Alfred doesn't miss next turn.
+Requesting Nudes: Ask Lorena for Nudes. Might greatly boost Bruce’s stats or greatly destroy the relationship.
+Brutal Bruce: Unleash Bruce's hidden potential for 3 turns by socially pressuring him. Bruce won't follow orders during said time.

Odetta's skillset (Astral Projection abilities don't have usage limits.):

+Astral Projection -Bomb-: Will make the enemies' phones explode. 2 True Damage to all Opponents if they have phones.
+Astral Projection -Distraction-: Will invade one enemy's phone to distract them. Opponent can't dodge or escape next turn if they have a phone.
+Astral Projection -Zombie-: Will take control of a fallen unit's body for 3 turns.
+Out of Character Cheer: Odetta will cheer an ally unit. Effect depends on said unit.

Masen's shitty skillset:

+I won't run this time!: Masen receives all damage for all the allied units this turn.
+Bulk up!: Masen will remember he trained. Boost +1 STR for the rest of the fight.

>(Al) Skill
Counterboxing - feel like we really need to protect ourselves this first turn.

>(Maggie) Attack

>(Cat) Pocket sand
To lower Aleister's accuracy, that fucker is definitely a one hit tank. We could go with Orbicular Shatterstar so he definitely can't miss next time, but I feel like we don't want to take damage from him first turn - and like it only lasts 1 turn, does that mean the end of Odettas turn or the next time it's Cat's turn?

>(Masen) Skill!
Bulk up my dude!

So Al can hit the fucker for everything he's got next turn.

Ok, so order of business should be buffing, debuffing, and getting Ichie to not support Aleister. He is strong, but we have the means to at least guarantee hits.
Next turn I recommend Acting on Ichie, or using Evil containment wave to stop Aleister for a round. I would not if Ichie can full heal.

First goes Ichie!

“Go! Go! Aleister! Go! Go!” Ichie does a little Cheerleading Routine to boost Aleister’s strength!

“HAHAHA! Everyone loves me!” Aleister gets encouraged.

Aleister’s attack has doubled for the next 3 turns.


Second goes Alfred!

Alfred channels the spirit of Master Pete (he’s not dead) and launches a furious series of strikes!

Aleister defends himself, but rather poorly because he was busy loving himself.

Aleister loses 8 HP!


Third goes Maggie!

Maggie goes for a flying kick! She connects on Aleister!

Aleister loses 2 HP!


Fourth goes Catastrovania!

Catastrovania walks back to stay safe from danger!

Catastrovania will be safe until next turn.


Fifth goes Masen!

Masen remembers his father’s words, he did train all this time… He bulks up to show it!

Masen gains +1 STR for the rest of the fight.


Sixth goes Bruce!

Bruce launches an attack on Aleister, it’s effective enough.

Aleister loses 1 HP.


Seventh goes Aleister!

Aleister stretches his arms and starts spinning like a drill! He starts running around as well! He impacts a lot of people with his Spinning Lariat!

Alfred received 1 damage.
Maggie received 4 damage.
Catastrovania received no damage.
Masen received 2 damage.
Bruce received 6 damage.
Odetta managed to evade the attack because she has been playing dead this whole time.


Eighth goes Odetta.

Odetta continues to play dead like Vender. Except, you don’t think Vender is playing.

Odetta will be safe until next turn.


What actions do you want to take?

Alfred.

What’s your Offensive Action?

>Attack! (Roll 1d6! Best of 3!) (Sorry, I forgot the range got better)

We also have some good combo with crazy slugger, maggie's support, and bruce's friendship. Would allow for a really, REALLY strong attack, but we need to make sure he can't nullify it or heal it back up.
>>
>>4578415

By the way! You can use your items and so can your allies!

You have 2 healing items:

Groceries and Lorena's Orange Juice Box.

The Groceries heals 4 HP to one ally, it can be used 5 times total.

Lorena's Juice Box heals for 3 HP, it can be used 1 time. It may have a special effect.

First goes Ichie!

There are 2 turns left of Aleister’s attack buff.

Ichie brings a bullet proof vest of outstanding quality for Aleister! Aleister doesn’t like the color, but he will keep it.

Aleister gains +2 Defense for 3 turns.


Second goes Alfred!

Alfred uses the Evil Containment Wave on Aleister!
Aleister doesn’t understand why he cannot move!

Aleister can’t do anything for a turn!


Third goes Catastrovania and Maggie!

Catastrovania approaches and uses her ORBICULAR SHATTERSTAR on Ichie!

Maggie goes for a karate strike! She connects on Ichie! What a combo!

Ichie cannot defend herself and loses 5 HP!


Fourth goes Masen!

Masen joins the combo attack, albeit so late that it isn't even a combo anymore!

Ichie loses 3 HP!


Fifth goes Bruce!

Bruce drinks Lorena’s Orange Juice Box. He thinks that it’s the most delicious juice box on this side of the Galaxy!

Bruce recovers all his HP, and gains +5 on DEF for 2 turns.


Sixth goes Aleister!

Aleister can’t move! Ichie starts panicking!


Seventh goes Odetta!

Odetta astral projects to take control over Vender’s body. She thinks that this is shittier than her own body. She makes Vender stand up.

“Uuhh…” Vender says.
“Hey Vender, you’re all right, buddy! I told you, Saionji, it was nothing!” Aleister’s morale raises.

“I-I think there is something wrong with him…” Ichie doesn’t like this.

…You… are… pathetic…[/I]” Vender taunts Aleister.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!” Aleister is furious, but he can’t move!

Aleister is going to target Vender next turn.

Why shouldn't we heal Maggie with Groceries?

>>4578508
Set phone to explode while Aleister's in the blast radius.

Vender's body is in terrible condition, so unless Aleister targets someone else somehow, I don't think so. Assume she's losing the body for your votes.

First goes Ichie!

Ichie takes her chance and uses a group hug! And by group hug, she means a couple’s hug! Normally Aleister wouldn’t hug her.

Ichie recovers all her HP and gains a little boost to her abilities.


Second goes Alfred!

Third goes Maggie!

Maggie leaps in the air and lands on Aleister’s face with her Maggie Stomp! That’s gotta hurt!

Aleister loses 3 HP.


Fourth goes Catastrovania!

Catastrovania uses this opportunity to make Maggie eat some Groceries. This looks weird…

Maggie recovers 4 HP!


Fifth goes Masen!

Masen uses all his might to beat up Aleister. It barely fazed him.

Aleister loses 1 HP.


Sixth goes Bruce!

A powered Bruce goes to punch Aleister in the face. It was like hitting a brick wall, a brick wall that feels pain.

Aleister loses 1 HP.


Seventh goes Aleister!

Vender’s body lands on a couple of you.

Ichie is now ashamed people know her secret.

Aleister doesn’t care, he had to use his Childhood Knowledge.

Ichie feels betrayed…

Ichie revives with 3 HP.


Seventh goes to a special appearance!

From inside Aleister’s gaudy car, a shadow emerges – it flies through the air majestically and lands a flying kick on Ichie!

“Flying Arrow Kick!” It’s the leader of the Bucket Retrieving Group, Chloe!! She snuck inside there. thinking they would take the bucket at one point. “This is for what you did to my friends!”

“Ugh…!” Ichie receives full damage.

“Saionji, you’re useless…!” Aleister is furious.

First goes Alfred!

You bring the slugger to the party and try to smash Aleister with it, he blocks the blow with his arms.

Aleister loses 4 HP.


Second goes Maggie!

“Allie, smash his face to pieces. Please.” Nightmare Maggie gets close to you and rubs her head on your arm. She’s using her Maggie Cheer.

“Sure.” Alfred likes what he’s hearing more than anything Maggie is doing.

Alfred gains +2 STR for the next 2 turns.


Third goes Catastrovania!

“Fufufu… It’s time!” Catastrovania expertly throws her Pocket Sandstorm on Aleister’s face. “Nyeeeh!

“W-What in heaven…!?” Aleister gets blinded.

Aleister’s accuracy has greatly diminished for 2 turns.


Fourth goes Masen!

“Take this, you stupid fuck!” Masen goes for another strike.

Aleister loses 1 HP.

Fifth goes Bruce!

Bruce sneaks behind Aleister, to stand in front of him… and back slaps him.

Aleister loses 1 HP.


Sixth goes Aleister!

“YOU ALL PISSED ME OFF! LIFE IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU SCUM! DIE!” Aleister’s anger concentrates in his ultimate attack! He blindly charges like a mad bull without any care about his well-being or others! He’s blind anyway right now! He uses the Price to Pay! He crashes into Masen the same way he did when he destroyed your store! “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Masen loses 20 HP.

“M-Masen?!” Maggie is in shock.

“Huh…?!” Bruce cannot believe Masen just flew away like a piece of paper.

“That’s it, he’s dead.” Catastrovania has no hope for him.

Masen has been knocked out.

Seventh goes to Odetta!

“I hope this one is more useful…” Odetta astral projects into Ichie. She stands up in her new body and loses her balance for a bit. “Oh jeez, how can she move around with these knockers…?”

“Saionji, is that you…? I can hear you moving around! Maybe you aren’t as weak as I thought! Make yourself useful for once and give me a Full Restore!” Aleister angrily orders.

“Nah, I don’t feel like it, you street gorilla.” Ichidetta has no time for this dumbass.

Ichie has revived with 3 HP.

Ichidetta’s Skillset:

+Cheerleading of Love!: Doubles an allied unit STR.
+Bulletproof Vest of Understanding!: +2 DEF to an Ally unit for 3 turns. They are not comfortable to wear for long.
+Group Hug of Friendship!: Everyone who’s part of the group hug recovers their health completely if they like all the people they are hugging.
+Kickboxing of Caring!: 1d10 of damage to one enemy.
+Kindness Within: Ichie feels everyone’s love. Stats get obscenely boosted thinking about the people she loves. She needs 2 turns to complete this.
+(Odetta Skill) I renounce everything!: Odetta does whatever she wants with the body. Odetta swears this will give everyone an incredible boost of power.

-You got a Full Restore. (Takes debuffs and fully heals an allied unit.)
>>
>>4578772
Can full restore bring Masen back or is he out of the fight? Can someone ahead of him in initiative restore him, allowing him to act on his own turn?
>>
>>4578772
ok, same plan as before with this, >>4578659
but since ichie goes first, have her give Alfred the bulletproof vest. Next round, right before the swing, she can increase our strength with her cheer. We need Alfred to survive to use it after all.
>>
>>4578779

Alfred's Healing and the Full Restore can revive. He will act if it is his turn.
>>
>>4578781
ok, changing >>4578780
to Ichie using the full restore on mason so he can tank the blow for us. Idear stays the same.
>>
>>4578783
Agreed. I was about to suggest the same. The vest protection is nice, but it's not a guarantee.

>>4578788
Backing this,
>>
>>4578788
remember: Because Ichi can go first, she can apply the x2 modifier right before the swing. We'd get to see what the mask and acting can do as well since they seem to work together.
>>
>>4578798
Thats why we have the full restore baby
>>
>>4578803
Then maybe differentiate what means of healing you are using!

>>4578798
We want him to make sure that Aleister can't interrupt our set up with any of his skills

First goes Ichie?

“Go! Go! Alfred! The only Al that matters! Go! Go!” Ichie(?) does a strange version of her Cheerleading Routine to boost Alfred’s strength.

“Saionji, how dare you call me Al?! My name is Aleister!” Aleister gets really offended by this.

“Piss off.” Ichie(?) shows him her tongue.

Alfred gets +2 STR for the next 3 turns.

Second goes Alfred!

Alfred uses his first aid knowledge to heal everyone up a little. Even waking up Masen.

Everyone (Including Ichie) restore +1 HP.


Third goes Maggie!

Maggie puts herself in position to aid Alfred’s next move. She can’t wait!

Alfred’s damage will be boosted next turn.


Fourth goes Catastrovania!

Catastrovania thinks it’s time to reveal her true power…

“Fufufu~, I’m Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros, and you, Aleister Price, will witness the whole extension of my power…!” Catastrovania poses as she grabs her blindfold. A new presence is felt in the atmosphere.

“You blinded me, you dumbass! I can’t see it!” Aleister complains.

“Ngh…” Catastrovania feels like this reveal lost its coolness.

“Y-You have one of those ghosts too…?” Ichie realizes something no one else can see.

All of Catastrovania’s Skills are guaranteed to do something.

Fifth goes Masen!

“I’m sorry everyone if I scared you.” Masen puts himself in front of you all. “I won’t be knocked out this time, I won’t run either!”

Masen will tank all the damage next turn.

Sixth goes Bruce!

“I-I’m going to support you in this as well…” Bruce joins Maggie and Masen to aid you in your next move.

Bruce guarantees your next attack won’t fail.

Seventh goes Aleister!

“AAAAAH?!” Aleister tries to beat you up, but misses the mark…

Alfred receives no damage.

the fun part is the calculations. we have 6-8 strength, depending on how it goes, plus maggie buff, plus 19 damage. Maybe +2 if we count the slugger bonus for normal attacks. We did anywhere from 25 damage, to 29+.

First goes Ichie?

Odetta has decided to use her cruelest skill: I Renounce Everything!

“Hey, worst Al, can you shut the fuck up for a sec? I want to call my daddy…!” Ichie makes fun of Aleister before stealing his phone, he still hasn’t recovered from his blindness yet so he couldn’t do anything. Besides, Ichie is damn fast.

“Saionji! Stop with the potty mouth!” Of all the things that piss off Aleister, that’s the one he’s going to hang onto?

“Keep quiet, monkey, I’m sending a voice message.” Ichie looks pissed. “Hey, daddy, it’s me! One of your 20 children you probably don’t give a fuck about. I’m callin’ you ‘cause I don’t care about becoming the heir of whatever the fuck I’m supposed to be. I’m a free soul now that does whatever she wants, like look, I’m going to beat the crap out of that Price kid you wanted me to so badly marry…! Did you hear him scream? He squeals like a pig! He’s disgusting, and so are you and the rest of our family. I don’t need ya anymore, I’m sure these huge stupid knockers I have will grant me a fortune! Love ya.”

“Saionji, you good for nothing idiot! You betrayed me!” Aleister is getting angrier and angrier.

“Hold on, monkey, I’m not done.” Ichie is about to send another voice message. “Hey Maxi! Whatchu up to, my man? Killing innocent families again? Well, I know the member of a family that ain’t that innocent that is going to get what he deserves here… Daddy always said so many things about ya, how stupid you are, how incompetent you are, how goofy you look. Oh well, it’s good that I’m the heir of the whatever-the-fucks ‘cause I respect ya! That’s why I’m sendin’ this! I just wanted you to know that your lil’ bro… he isn’t going to have a fun time, you son of a bitch.” Ichie throws the phone on the ground and steps on it. Then Ichie starts holding her head like she’s having a severe headache.

“Saionji, what in heaven is all of this about!?” Aleister shouts as angrily as you’ve ever heard him before. Music to your ears… if he wasn’t making you deaf.

“A-Aleister… I…can’t… control… myself…” Ichie is struggling to keep control. “That… wasn’t… me… I didn’t… want… to say… those… things. Please… forgive me…”

“Yet you said them! I’m tired of your excuses and words with the letter P! EXCUSES! Saionji, you’ve never been worth my time, that’s why I never bothered to remember what your first name is! Now you will GO DOWN WITH THEM! YOU SINNER!”

Nooo…” Ichie cries out before going back to her evil self again. “Well, that was weird. But I think she’s dead inside.” Ichie gives everyone a thumbs up.

Aleister’s morale has dropped entirely and his anger doesn’t give him any benefits.

Time for a Home Run Hit. You put yourself in the perfect stance! With everyone’s help, you’re ready to strike this blind gorilla…!

“W-What’s that noise…?” The blind gorilla shouts.

“Revenge.” You bash his head with the Crazy slugger with all your might….!

Aleister has been defeated.

You repeat.

Aleister Price has been defeated.


Third goes Catastrovania!

Salty that she couldn’t use one of her hidden techniques, Catastrovania launches her VULCAN HAIL of BULLETS into Vender. He flies away in the air the same way Aleister did, and lands on the same place probably.

Vender was already dead, so this barely counts to anything.


Victory has been attained!


Everyone looks in awe about what you all accomplished… Nobody is saying a word.

What do you do?

>“Let’s find his body.” You aren’t done yet.
>“I’m going to look for him, give me a second.” Go for him alone.

clean up is always the hard part. Unlike a certain pair of corpses, we have the means to mess with cameras and get away. They even gave us disposable, eco friendly bags!
Sides, in their own words they will just get medical attention and be right as rain if they are found and rescued.

Aleister is nothing, but rabid dog yanking on it's choke chain and now bigger dogs have made it packing with it's tail in between it's legs. He'll be put down by his brother for no longer being useful.

“Let’s find his body.” You’re not done with him yet. There was a lot of revenge, but not enough pettiness.

“Yeah, we’re not finished with him!” Nightmare Maggie wants blood.

“We’re not…?” Masen is surprised you even give a fuck about what happened to the body.

“You can’t leave things unfinished in my line of work.” Odetta smirks.

Our line of work, fufufu.” Catastrovania takes the credit, Odetta just shakes her head in disapproval.

“W-What about the rest…?” Bruce isn’t sure if you should leave right now.

“Do not fret! We’ve been taking care of everyone while you were fighting!” Chloe shows up. You noticed there are a few missing eco friendly trash bags.

“By the way, good work everyone.” Camilo has been helping out too.

“Yeah, kids, great job killing that other kid. But knowing him, he’s probably still alive.” Guard 1 shows up! He’s back.

“He flew like a beautiful drunk swan.” Guard 2 is here too!

“We wanted to help but we didn’t find a window to appear all cool and the like.” Guard 1 explains why he’s useless.

“Besides, we were helping move people as well.” Guard 2 gives a better explanation.

“How is my dad…?” Masen sounds really worried.

“The doctors said he’s stable and there isn’t anything to worry about. Your pops is tough as nails.” Guard 2 gives the good news.

“And the others?” You’re worried about Yevtushenkov, Iamar, Spectralhound and Master Pete.

“They’ll be fine eventually, it was nothing serious.” Camilo brings even better news. “The fact that he can cause this much destruction without killing anyone speaks volumes about his skills, don’t know which skills exactly, but it is something else.”

“We’ll make sure the Bucket arrives safe and sound as well. You can take the van.” Chloe promises.

“No, you won’t.” Bruce gets all angry for some reason. “We almost died for that damn thing, you’re not going to take the credit. I’m tired of you always doing that, Chloe.” Wait, Bruce knows her?

“I-It’s not the time to air old grievances, haha…” Chloe looks away. Bruce gets in front of her. “B-But very well, I’ll trust you all with the bucket, Bruce, Al, Catastrovania and Odetta!” Chloe valiantly hides behind Camilo.

“That boy! He has grown up so much!” Odetta is proud like a big sister.

“Me and the guards will be staying here helping as well, I need to see my dad.” Masen apologizes but he will part ways with you all.

“Ditching us again, huh?” Maggie can forgive but she will never forget. “I’m, like, kidding, of course.”

“You sounded serious.” Catastrovania doesn’t buy it.

“On the other hand, I’ll be going with you guys. I’ll make sure nothing bad happens to the bucket!” Camilo announces proudly.

“You want to know if the guy is dead, right?” Odetta is skeptical about Camilo’s intentions.

Yes.” Camilo has no qualms admitting it.

“W-Wait, everyone, p-please l-listen to my request…” Ichie is alive! Your healing must’ve revived her. After all she went through, perhaps she had a change of heart, maybe she isn’t as annoying anymore.

“Oh no, it’s Ichie!” Maggie points out the obvious.

“I’m not talking to you.” Ichie is the same as always. That was wishful thinking. “M-My dear friend A-Alfred, allow me to accompany you as well, I promise I won’t cause you any troubles! I need to see Aleister once more! I beg you!”

“I thought you thought he was Wilfred.” Maggie wants to know what her deal is.

“I always knew he was Alfred… He can’t trick me… It was obvious, his big lock of hair in the middle is exactly 3.7 centimeters larger than the rest. Even if they are twins, they can’t be exactly the same in all regards.” Ichie reveals in shocking fashion.

How do you respond?

>“Ichie, you’re so creepy.” You just need to say it.

>“Ugh, fine. Just because I feel slightly bad that your life got completely and irredeemably destroyed.” You accept her coming along.

“Ichie, you’re so creepy.” You wanted her to know now that you don’t have to pretend to be friends with her.

“I-Isn’t natural for friends to know each other deeply?” Ichie doesn’t feel like she did anything wrong.

“Your so-called best friend didn’t even know your name.” Odetta points out the hypocrisy.

“NNnnNGh…” That hurt Ichie in a spiritual level.

“But ugh, fine. Just because I feel slightly bad that your life got completely and irredeemably destroyed.” You sigh.

“A-As the heir of the Saoinji family, I promise you I will greatly reward you for your kindness, my dear friend Alfred.” Ichie is starting to sound worryingly deluded.

“If I knew you were going to say that, I wouldn’t have done that.” Odetta doesn’t want to be near Ichie.

“Booo!” Maggie boos you.

“Yeah, boo!” Cat boos you too.

“Stop that.” You glare at them.

“But you need medical attention…” Camilo is the only responsible person here.

“Please, do not be concerned…” Ichie takes out the Full Restore from one of her pockets. She drinks it and jumps back to her feet. “See, I am fine!” A button pops off of her t-shirt, she coughs some blood and her legs are wobbling, she’s far from fine…

“G-Good enough for me…” Bruce doesn’t care.

“Well, Alfred, Maggie… Thank you for saving me and my father.” Masen bows in front of you. “If you ever need help, please let me know. You three as well, Cat, Bruce and Oddy.”

“Take care, send Jean-Loup my regards.” You nod.

“Don’t call me Oddy.” Odetta glares at him.

Masen gets really close to you. “Before I go, there is something important inside the bucket, make sure to check it out. I don’t understand why, but my dad says it’s a huge deal.” Masen steps back. “See ya, friends!”

“We’ll be going as well, kids. It was fun.” Guard 1 leaves as well.

“Stay neat, kids.” Guard 2 says goodbye.

“I need to check on Iamar, it’s all my fault she ended up like this… Goodbye for now and make sure to retrieve the bucket!” Chloe leaves with all of them as well.

You’re left with Maggie, Catastrovania, Bruce, Odetta, Camilo and Ichie. You’re curious about what’s inside the bucket, but you don’t have time to waste. You must go. You all go aboard the van.

“E-Excuse me, I said I didn’t intend to cause you any troubles but…” Ichie can’t keep her mouth shut. “There is a man inside this Laundry Cart.”

Oh right! It’s Ubaldo, the leader of the Min-Hu Alliance! You have him as a hostage!

“OOOOOoooooh! I forgot about him!” Maggie is really surprised by this.

“You clearly seem like the type who would.” Ichie looks down on Maggie again.

“Hey!” Maggie flicks Ichie’s forehead.

“Ngh…” Ichie just takes it.

“Ichie, s-shut up.” Bruce doesn’t want to hear her voice.

“I’m ashamed to admit I forgot as well, haha.” Camilo finds this humorous.

“You were the one in charge here while we were gone.” Odetta hates what she’s hearing.

“Haha…” Camilo’s laugh deflates.

“W-What do we do with him?” Catastrovania wonders.

“Eh, he’s coming with us for now.” You want him to witness what you’re capable of.

“HMmmmHM?!” Ubaldo knows that this is bad, he just doesn’t know why.

You somehow managed to escape the encirclement of cars and make your way to the Destroyed Super Foods. This is the spot where Aleister crashed into. It is as bad as what’s left of your store. You park in front of it and all of you leave the car in search of Aleister, Ubaldo included – Bruce is making sure he’s not going anywhere.

“Do you think someone got hurt?” Camilo wonders as keep looking for Aleister.

“No, it’s a Super Foods, it probably didn’t have customers.” You reply.

“I think I found him!” Catastrovania proclaims as she points at one spot.

Indeed, that’s what is left of Aleister, his face is literally all blood at this point, you cannot see any of his features.

“Aleister!” A worried Ichie runs towards his fallen friend as half as fast as usual. Which is still pretty damn fast. “Aleister, talk to me! It’s me, Ichie!”

“Who?” Aleister has a weird nasal sounding voice now. He can barely move.

“S-Saionji…” Ichie clarifies a little let down by this.

“Neeh…” Aleister doesn’t care. He waves her off with the little energy he has.

“Quick, someone hand me a phone!” Ichie asks one of you to step up. Nobody moves a finger. “A-Aleister, I’m going to dial my dear father’s phone and you’re going to tell him my phone got hacked, and praise my good name as the great friend I’ve always been! Then do the same with your brother! That way I can recover my status as the heir of the Saionji Family and I would be allowed to call the special ambulance! I promise that everything will be fine just like always! Like it was meant to be!” That’s one convoluted way to ask for help, but it’s Ichie, she might be serious.

With the little force he has, Aleister grabs Ichie by the throat with enough strength to make her struggle.

“A-Aleister… I can’t… breathe.” Ichie is crying.

“Never… tell me… what to do…” Aleister’s voice is still funny to hear.

You decide that enough is enough, Ichie learned her lesson, so you’re going to stomp Aleister’s face to stop her from choking her. Yeah, that’s the reason why… you do it 5 times just to make sure he can’t try to do that again. Somehow Maggie felt the need to join you, because you clearly forgot a spot, you didn’t mind. It was fun. Saving someone else was fun.

Ichie is holding your other leg all scared, she’s not trying to stop you or anything, she’s just doing it out of instinct.

Yet, somehow, Aleister managed to move his fingers just a bit towards Ichie again, maybe it was the wind, anyway a flying Vacuum head lands on his hand and deters him from continuing. It’s Vender… you think.

“That’s enough… Aleister… This is the first time Ichie asks you to do something… and this is how you repay her…?” Zombie Vender looks like he had enough.

“V-Vender?” Ichie is surprised he’s even alive.

“Eugh.” Maggie realizes who did it.

“Eugh.” Catastrovania doesn’t like what she sees.

“Eugh.” Odetta is disgusted as well.

“Eugh.” Even Bruce wants to close his eyes.

“Eh? I mean, eugh.” Camilo wants to be part of this.

“You people… are the worst…” Vender is sick of all of you. He looks absolutely terrible, so you can’t blame anyone for their reaction. “Aleister… I’m… sick of you… I had to… come over… to this shit town… to get beaten… over and over… because of you. You selfish idiot.” Just as a side note, everyone can barely make out what Vender’s saying with the shape he’s in.

“V-Vender, you never raised your hand against Aleister before, why…?” Ichie is almost touched.

“Because I’m a gentleman…” Vender puts his hand on his chest. “And you, Ichie, you’re a naughty, naughty, naughty girl… hehehHEheh… You’re no Maggie, but I heard everything you said before… How you renounced your family’s name! How you threw it all away! I always knew you wanted to put your obscene body to use! But I’m here… to help…” It’s like Vender is back at full force!

Eeek!” Ichie hides behind you.

I will turn you into a proper la—…” But the smiling Vender loses all strength and collapses. That didn’t last long. He’s dead again.

“…Why couldn’t he help me…?” Ichie comes out from behind your back. “Aleister… I’ve come to realize, you’re the only reason I won’t be able to help society. I’m the heir of nothing! I’m one of the underprivileged individuals I wish to help! And that idea is revolting to me! I don’t think I can forgive you! I can’t ignore your wonderful qualities anymore!” Ichie turns around to not face the bloody man. “Feel free to do anything to him! I won’t s-stop you!” You can tell this is a difficult decision for Ichie.

You decided to spit on him, then you turn around and walk away…

…Grrh… uh…” Aleister passes out.





Maggie stabs him on the face with a pen she was carrying, then walks away.





Catastrovania just shakes her head and follows you.





Bruce grabs what’s left of the Super Food’s sign and throws it on him.





Odetta smirks. “Thanks to you, I can deal with your brother, I just wanted to let you know you’ll be the reason for his downfall.” Now she walks away.





Camilo wonders if he should call an ambulance. He thinks he should wait until you’re all gone from here.





Ichie turns around and sees Aleister’s body. For the first time, she didn’t feel bad for him. She walks away.





Bruce comes back because he forgot Ubaldo. The guy stood frozen watching in fear everything you were doing; he was scared shitless since the stomping.





You’re all back in the van.

“So, what I really should do with you is extend the hospitality that you showed Jean Loup and his son. You get me?” You put your arm around Ubaldo. “But I’m going to ask you to do us a favor instead. You get the message, you have 24 hours to clean this huge mess we were all in, or else I don’t think you can survive what that guy did.”

HMHMHMHMMHHMMHMHMHMHMHMmgmhmmmHMHMHMHMMhmmhmhmMMHMMMHMmhmmhmhm?!” Ubaldo is having a panic attack.

“Do you think he got that?” Maggie wonders.

“We’ll leave him with a note.” You write it down on paper, put it in his pocket and throw him with a kick.

“HMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMM!!!!” Ubaldo runs away… He knows he had it easy today.

“You think it was a good idea to let him go?” Catastrovania wonders.

“I can make sure he does what we tell him.” Odetta is one reliable girl.

“Yeah, I wouldn’t worry about him. If anything, it’s Masen’s revenge not mine if he wants to do anything.” You’re tired of these kinds of pursuits. “Now onto what everyone wanted to know, what’s inside the bucket.” You grab it from Camilo’s hands.

“T-There’s something inside the bucket…?” Bruce didn’t know.

“Is there supposed to be something inside it?” Camilo didn’t know it was a thing even.

“Masen said so.” You shrug.

You all look inside it. There is a little piece of plastic with the form of a chest attached with tape on the bottom of the bucket. You remove it and open the seal. There is a piece of paper inside it.

“What’s this…?” Odetta seems to be the most curious about this.

You open the paper up. It’s a map. There is another piece of paper, way smaller, it’s a note.

‘Find the other two and get the treasure! It’s a Crystal Piece! You only need to put them one over the other! How fun! No, it’s actually kind of shit. That damn whale made me go here for this!? I hope she chokes in her sleep.’
With love.
- Rise.

“I’m too old for treasure hunting.” You throw the note away.

“I have to agree with you.” Camilo doesn’t care about it either.

“I barely knew about it and I’m, like, disappointed...” Maggie pouts.

“Pffft… How boring, it’s nothing GRITTY or WICKED!” Catastrovania found it boring too.

“Hahaha… M-Maybe one day, no? I-It could be fun!” Bruce, on the other hand, loves the idea.

“Eh, can I keep it?” Odetta wonders.

“Eh, sure.” Nobody objects.

“C-Can I take a look?” Ichie couldn’t see it since she’s at the back of the van.

“Get lost.” Maggie doesn’t allow Ichie to be part of the team.

First, you returned the Bucket to the township with your fellow teammates! You were recognized as the Town’s heroes for your efforts! You’re now known as the Heroes of the Bucket IV! You all are amongst legends. Except Ichie, she was left inside the van with the air conditioning on.

You were given the honor of putting the Bucket back on the monument, even on short notice, most of the town attended the event to celebrate. Your Lovely Neighbors were proud of you. You feel that somewhere up there, your father was proud of you too. It was great.

That all happened during what was left of the day.

During the evening, after the Bucket Ceremony was done, you introduced all your friends to your neighbors, with the excitement of the ceremony still intact. You all went to eat together at your cozy neighbor’s house. Siske was nowhere to be found because she was emotionally drained for some reason earlier in the day and was asleep.

You all ate a lovely dinner together.

Berenice was so bothered by Odetta being so thin, she made her eat so much lovely food that Odetta turned back to normal, superficially at least. But your neighbor wasn’t only generous with the food for Odetta, everyone ate a lot. Your neighbors found all your friends charming. Catastrovania received way too many headpats. Maggie turned into Puffy Maggie again. Camilo caught up with the Uccellis which he missed dearly, it seems their relationship has rekindled.

With the food eaten, and your neighbors feeling sleepy, you left them to continue your celebration elsewhere. You love them!

Ichie had to wait inside the van and was merely spared some leftovers of the lovely food. She loved them.

And at last, late at night, you went to the Flux! Camilo convinced Laetitia it was a special occasion, and you got the whole place to yourselves. Since neither you or Camilo were interested in bartending tonight, the work falls onto Ichie and she worked to the bone.

The celebration went on and on during the whole night! You had a day you’ll never forget! The day you saved the bucket! The day you had your revenge! The day you were truly happy again!

Your group took a week to have at Hamje after these events, just to hang out with friends...

Time to build up Alfred’s Ending!

What did Alfred decided to do with his life?

Seeing the votes right now I really hope that if we fail the first try QM allows a second vote-- imagine how sad it would be if we have to take the safe ending because we only have one chance

>>4580360
better yet chief splits the timeline in two and writes 2 endings
>>
>>4580382
hadn't thought of that
that sounds better honestly
I like the sound of a "definite" ending and stuff but making half the people here mad might not be fun
and I'm saying that as someone who would put Maggie as my second choice before Odetta

>>4580388
poor chief has to write an ending with Ichie for the one person who voted for her

Holy shit, I expected samefagging bit this is actually ridiculous

The autism of waifufags cannot be underestimated anon

A couple of months after the events of SPR…

Let’s find out what happened to everyone involved:

-D. Dazzler, the stinky hobo that ate expired meat, is still a stinky hobo, but he turned what was left of Laoling’s SuperFoods into a homeless people haven. He’s still very much disliked by everyone.

-Clyde, the mafia thug that wanted to stop a total underworld war from happening, is still trying to stop this from happening. He ended up leaving to Pokyo Lokyo, where he started working for The Lokyo Observer, a modest but well-known newspaper for its investigative journalism (the same Wessam Carpetier worked for), in an attempt to bring attention to what’s happening.

-Kong Bo, the fisherman that’s friends with Alfred, is still capturing big squid monsters and loving life. He’s trying to find someone to pass on his teachings to, but he got nothing so far. He has a new client aside from Ishikawa’s nowadays…

-Huo Huang, the bartender of The Drunk Baboon and one of the Youhao Clan thugs they sent to help Zama Vatalaro, is still recovering from the terrible injuries he received in Pokyo Lokyo at the hands of a man named Flint Masterson.

-Matilda Spice, the shopkeeper at the Giants Sports Store and the young girl who defeated Master Pete for abandoning her grandfather when he needed him the most, is still in Pokyo Lokyo involved in events bigger than what she can handle.

-Tully, the homeless man and leader of the Laoling branch of Los Iluminados, went back to Pokyo Lokyo to rejoin their headquarters. With the Min-Hu Alliance’s disbandment, Laoling had no relevance for the group. His back still hurts from the beating he got.

-Hiram Woodbury, better known as Thug A from Aleister’s tape and one of Ichie’s brainwashed bodyguards, ended up jobless, so he decided to take part in a weird experiment for a new drug in Naramatsunai that paid great. He was never heard from again.

-Taddeo Cedrone, better known as Thug B from Aleister’s tape and the Cranky man aiding the Vatalaro Family, is still working under Zama’s orders, but he isn’t sure if this is going to lead to anything good.

-Sewel Scott, the mafia assassin that isn’t really an assassin that was run over by Maggie and Catastrovania, is recovering in Pokyo Lokyo from his injuries. He may be aiding certain people to do their best.

-Ronda, the witch owner of the inn you stayed at once and ex member of the cult, is still working at her inn, sad that the cult is no more. She greets her customers with sad ‘fufufus’ now.

-Yevtushenkov, you never were quite sure who he was supposed to be but he helped you during the raid at the Office 17th, rebuilt his liquor store in the now famous Laoling Shopping Street. He still imports Ronda’s favorite wine.

-Laetitia Walsh, the owner of the Flux and the horny old lady, closed the brand in Naramatsunai and went to live in Hamje with her cousin – she wasn’t a drunken mess ever again, and is still trying to fix her relationship with her daughter.

-Frederick Conti, better known as Spectralhound, returned to Pokyo Lokyo after having the worst vacations in his entire life. There, he was informed that his childhood friend died, they were on bad terms last time they met, but deep down he always hoped they could amend things. This sorrow gave a new spin to his music which proved to be popular.

-Ugolino, the ugly ass rich man that dated Siske, is still ugly as fuck and never got even a chance with Laetitia. Disappointed, he decided to stop dating for a while and take care of his businesses.

-The mysterious mafia guy who gave you your weapons is still out there. Being efficient at his work.

-Huriye, the other ghost inside Bruce’s apartment that Catastrovania saved somehow and sent to the afterlife, meets up with Odetta’s family on the other side. She hopes her friend Odetta remembers to fulfill the promise she made to her.

-Heinous “Heidi” Calamity, the friendly doctor that works at the Great Care, is still working at the Great Care. Every now and then she flies to Pokyo Lokyo to aid her cousin Katastrophic Calamity in some matters. She still meets up with Madotsuki to make sure she’s having a fulfilling life.

-Madotsuki Demoniacal, the little girl you met at the Great Care, became great friends with Ghoulzilla, and one day, when the world needs the monster’s strength, she will be there to help…

-Lester, the iffy doctor who used to work at the Great Care, is serving life in prison for kidnapping people. Thankfully, his last victim was found alive. It is believed he worked for the Cult of Chernobog, but nothing was proved.

-Madotsuki’s father became good friends with Alfred’s father Hank in the afterlife…

-Calin Walsh, Laetitia’s cousin and the manager of the New Flux, became a proficient manager and made the little bar very successful with the help of her employees and her cousin. She’s very highly regarded by the community.

-Brandy Flair, Ugolino’s 2nd date and one of the Red Emitter Dancers, is still unemployed and her life remains aimless. She spends some of her time harassing Alfred to fuck her, but she gets ignored. She also became friends with Siske after the latter managed to pay for the apology.

-Whesker Flair, Brandy’s father and Taxi Driver, is still disappointed in his daughter and still works to support her. He became a regular at the New Flux and is good friends with Calin and Laetitia.

-Jack Garza, the masked thug who worked for the Vatalaro family, tried to kill Maggie and Catastrovania, and was a member of the cult; is training to become a boxer because he doesn’t see himself getting hired anywhere with how he looks now. His coaches think he’ll be a jobber.

-Geneviève Bourque, the hairdresser scammer that became a homeless woman, is now working at Chicken, Chicks & Cocks as both a waitress and an actress, and living a modest life which she hates. She’s trying to find a way to get her life back together…

-Kae, the mysterious trash girl Odetta possessed and Alfred helped get a job at the New Flux, is still working at the New Flux and doing decently. She met up with a guy named Jackson and seems fairly happy…

-Homer Sinkler (his real name), the Valtaro thug that chased Kae and one of Ichie’s brainwashed bodyguards, decided to leave his life of crime behind him and works as a fisherman in Laoling.

-Gualberto, Silver Sun’s little kid brother, doesn’t care anymore about getting bullied because he’s damn rich. He also ended up with a fetish for big boobs and chubby girls. He likes Siske but won’t admit it. Nobody should like her.

-Edmundo, the Silver Sun, became a multimillionaire thanks to the Silver Sun’s movie being a big success and becoming a country wide phenomenon. He uses his newfound fortune to help different charities. Nobody knows how they produced such quality film in under a month.


-Vivienne Neuville, the Cult Chancellor who didn’t want Bruce and Lorena to leave, became an influential player in the events happening in Pokyo Lokyo despite the Cult’s falling. Also, she ended up taking care of the crocodiles and alligators in the Hamje’s base and donated them to a Wildlife Reserve. She visits them constantly.

-Susie Tornatore, Nina’s mysterious roommate and all-around unlikeable person, is involved in the events happening in Pokyo Lokyo. It is said she was happy that the Psi Xi Pi was up and running, she likes competition.

-Nina Uccelli, the Uccelli’s daughter and out of shape woman, is still out of shape… And involved in the events happening in Pokyo Lokyo. You never got her to exercise, which you constantly remind her to do.

-Lingering ‘Lin’ Calamity, the creepy looking pastry chef, moved to Laoling to learn Berenice’s cooking style. She was very interested in adopting more ‘children’.

-Gunnar Ditlevsen, the angry retired pastry chef that taught Lin, came back from retirement to take care of his store while Lin is out there learning. He’s in a better mood now than ever before, which is not saying much.

-The Green Wall Terezinha, the professional boxer girl, is still training to get her revenge on Red Bullet Koh. She won her last 2 fights by KO. Newspapers are hyping her up due to her new coaching staff and better track record.

-Zain ‘La Pared’ Koroma, the legendary boxer and cranky old man, has done a decent enough job as Terezinha’s coach and he seems to be enjoying himself. He learned another one of his relatives was disowned like him, and he seems interested in meeting her.

-Gao Wu, the mayor’s assistant, tried to pursue the big seat himself and campaigned himself to become Mayor of Laoling. He failed miserably.

-Emelie, one of the priestesses working at the temple and one of the Red Emitter Dancers, is still performing her duties admirably and actually can dance now. She became friends with Lin too.

-Dulce Rodrigues, the Yuropean choreographer in charge of changing the Red Emitter Dance, reverted all the changes she made and continued the tradition as it is despite the township’s anger. She was almost fired until all the dancers threatened to quit if the Mayor went with that. During the weekends, Dulce travels around the country.

-Iamar Lakhdar, the Red Emitter Dancer who tried to sabotage the holiday and member of the Bucket Retrieving Group, enjoyed greatly her time at the dance group, but she decided to return to Pokyo Lokyo with a man named Gerard. She comes to visit every chance she gets.

-Chloe Verninac, One of the Red Emitter Dancers and leader of the Bucket Retrieving Group, is still extremely salty she wasn’t named one of the Heroes of the Bucket. She will never forgive Bruce. She is still helping with her family’s inn.

-Haytham Gerges, the chef that lost the cooking duel, is travelling around the country to learn more about cooking, he wants to keep his promise to you all. He’ll prepare a dish better than Jasper’s.

-Jasper Ando, the chef that won the cooking duel, talked with his good-for-nothing son who didn’t want to be a chef on the phone after decades and learned that his grandchild is alive. His son told him his grandchild died when he was a baby so Jasper wouldn’t pester him when he abandoned him and his mother. Jasper was absolutely furious with son, but now, he wants to meet his grandchild and he’s looking for him…

-Lily, the receptionist at the Min-Hu Alliance Office, was hired by a law firm in Hamje, she seems fairly happy with her new job.

-Penelope Don Sato, the leader of the Traditionalists branch of the Min-Hu Alliance after her boss’ passing, lost everything she had that day and became a known drunk in Laoling for a couple of weeks, until she was saved by a mysterious gentleman…

-Master Pete, your karate teacher and member of bucket retrieving group, built his own dojo and it became a pretty popular place since it was endorsed by the Heroes of the Bucket IV. Siske’s mom and him got back into a relationship after she broke up with Siske’s father. Some say she cheated on him with Pete.

Here are the important ones and Siske.

-Ubaldo Hae-Seong, after fulfilling his promise, died from choking on Broccoli.

-Zama Vatalaro and Ascher Mendel went back to Pokyo Lokyo after realizing the Laoling post holds no value anymore. They went ahead and built another plan to take over the Youhao Clan and executed it. Nobody knows what happened…

-Boris Uccelli renovated the Bucket monument so it’s way harder to steal and looks way better than before.

-Berenice Uccelli, with the help of Boris and many others, built her own handmade cloth store in the now famous Laoling Shopping Street. She has Camilo, Lin and Siske working with her – and she’s as energetic as ever!

-Siske really tried her best to change (her words), she lost a lot of weight (2 pounds) and now you like being around her (you tolerate her, but you’ll admit she’s getting better). It’s a matter of time before you fall for her (no). She doesn’t mind sharing you as long as you’re happy (you don’t care). She spends most of her time working at Berenice’s store during the night shift.

-Camilo Camerota moved back to Laoling after his stint at the Flux, he didn’t want to keep up with Laetitia’s shenanigans anymore. Now he works at Berenice’s Cloth store for the meantime while he figures out what to do with his life. His parents are egging him to find his sister though…

-Jean-Loup Reid, Masen Reid and the Guards rebuilt King Meat! The butcher is really happy with his new store on the Shopping Street, and the guards feel ambivalent about it – but work is work. Now your King Meat Discount is worth something. Some say, this group of people filled the gap the Min-Hu Alliance left in Laoling…

-But even after that, Masen couldn’t readapt to society after so long in isolation (2-3 weeks) so he decided to train in the mountains, preparing for his time…

-Ichie Smith, once known as Ichie Saionji, was disowned by her father and lost all of her privileges. She now lives in Pokyo Lokyo with one of her father’s mistresses (her mother, which she had to take her last name) in a truly modest apartment, works a second job to keep appearances of wealth during the day and is doing everything she can to keep her scholarship in the gaudiest schools in the country despite being bullied by her classmate for her monumental fall from grace. She still refers to herself as the heir of the Saionji Family. She developed a little drinking habit, and when she indulges in that, she calls you to vent. You’re her only ‘friend’ after all…

-Vender Duss went back home to Pokyo Lokyo because he was sick and tired of the countryside. Unlike Aleister and Ichie, Vender doesn’t come from a particularly wealthy family, so he doesn’t have anything to worry about. Now free from Aleister’s chains, he does as he pleases! He continues his gentleman ways in the city – and he will save dozens of maidens in distress. He says when he gets stronger, he will come for Maggie. For now, he will be happy getting Ichie, but she’s too darn fast. For training purposes, maybe his first step is to teach a lesson to the jerk who dared to hang up the phone on him…

-Senator Maximum Price heard everything about what happened from Aleister’s driver. He lamented he didn’t get that vacation spot, that resort would’ve been suitable for his preferences. He wasn’t interested in hunting people who are considered heroes to the people of the country. Who knows why…

-Odetta went to Pokyo Lokyo to join the mysterious series of events happening there. She knew who Rise actually was, so she knows how important that message in the Bucket is. And with Jean-Loup and Iamar explaining what’s going on, she’ll have fun. She’s not particularly interested in revenge, but she’ll do it in her spare time.

-Bruce went back to college and he has, what seems like, a perfect relationship with Lorena! Lorena even moved in with Bruce. They love each other so much that they are thinking about marriage already. You think they’re moving way too fast...

-Catastrovania gained a fortune from the royalties of the Silver Sun Movie. A lot of people were interested in her character in particular that she got a really devoted fanbase. She even got a different spinoff game series based on her, all of them portray her very differently. Starphase is really proud of her big sister! Catastrovania has no idea how to feel about this, but she doesn’t have to work anymore…

-Maggie managed to get selected to do a midterm special test to get her high school diploma and aced the test. Bruce was proud. Maggie now can do whatever she likes! She ended up moving out of her house to a better environment where she can finally shine! You too are proud of her.

-Nobody knows the current whereabouts of Aleister Price…

Inside the Brown’s Convenience Store, Koh, Jesse and Bruce are all standing in front of your parents’ little shrine. There is a lovely pic of them together with flowers around them on the wall of the store. It’s late at night, you’re moving stuff around to finally close the store.

“They look so happy!” Jesse smiles at seeing the picture. Jesse and Koh are visiting the store for the first time since it opened weeks ago, they’ve been busy with their lives. You all decided to get together for the night, so they decided to meet here.

“At least now she isn’t alone.” Koh smirks.

“You’re always so sarcastic, Koh! Take this seriously!” Jesse gets pissy easily. “You know how important this shrine was for Uncle Hank.”

“Yeah, he always said the only reason he moved his lazy fatass to the store was to see her every day.” Koh chuckles. “But now they are both smiling together, how cute.”

“I said take this seriously!” Jesse gets angrier.

“That’s how he always said it though…” Koh rolls his eyes.

“The shrine was important for Al as well.” Bruce finally says something.

“I heard it survived all those rich boy bombings.” Koh points out.

“It didn’t survive the last one, that was what broke Al. I told you before coming here!” Jesse slaps Koh’s arm. Koh didn’t feel that. “And about telling us stuff! Bruce, what the hell?! Why did you let Alfred put himself in danger like that?! Not only that, you helped him too!”

“Yeah, you should’ve called us. We would’ve wrecked that kid’s shit in a second.” Koh chuckles.

“Koh, it was really stupid and nonsensical! And do you even know how dangerous that was?” Jesse shakes his head.

“A-As a friend, I can’t promise not to let him fight, just that I won’t let him lose.” Bruce stands by his convictions.

“Well said.” Koh nods. “Besides, nothing bad happened.”

“That’s not the point.” Jesse pouts.

“Kept you waiting, huh? By the way, it’s really weird if you guys talk like I’m not here.” You’re ready at last. You have everything closed but the backdoor. “C’mon, let’s go.”

“Aye, aye, captain.” Koh follows your lead.

“Today, you all are being especially mean to me, ignoring everything I’m saying.” Jesse can’t believe the nerves of everyone.

“You have to say something worth listening to, first.” Koh chuckles.

“Bruce, slap him.” Jesse orders Bruce around like always.

“D-Do it yourself.” Bruce won’t follow orders anymore.

“Ngh… You’ve changed.” Jesse didn’t like this particular one. “Al, you do it instead!”

“Since when have I followed you little shit’s orders?” You shake your head.

“Agh…” That hurt Jesse.

“Maybe grow up in size and put up a fight, Jesse. That’s what big boys do.” Koh is enjoying himself.

“We still need him alive tho. We can’t enjoy dinner together if we’re missing someone.” You don’t care if he kills him later, but you made a promise to the others. “Besides, the others are waiting.”

“Thank you for caring about my wellbeing, assholes.” Jesse is pissed off… Like old friends are.

You all went to Ishikawa’s together, there the others were waiting: Maggie, Odetta, Catastrovania, Lorena, Camilo, Masen, Jean-Loup, Berenice and Boris. It was really difficult to gather everyone together but you managed. Finally, you can introduce everyone to your other two loser friends. Everyone is having a phenomenal time together, the conversation split into two groups.

Nom, nom, nom…” Cat is busy eating.

“Y-You’re dating Maggie…?” Jesse can’t believe his eyes.

“Yes, and soon Alfred is going to be Mr. Duchemin.” Your stupid girlfriend puts her head on your chest.

“My damn store is named Brown’s.” You grab her cheek. “And no, we’re not getting married.”

“Aw, aw, aw…” Maggie wants you to let her go. She’s still very mischievous even after all you went through. “But I need to secure you…!”

“It could’ve been worse, it could’ve been Siske.” Koh is taking the news well.

“Don’t say that, you’ll give her hope.” Maggie shakes her head. This only worries Koh.

“Would you like to taste the best Orange Juice in this side of town?” Lorena offers to both of your childhood friends. You’re eating at a restaurant, but Lorena keeps doing that. Bruce glares at everyone to accept. You all meekly nod and take one. “Hehe, I hope you like them!”

“S-Scary…” Jesse starts drinking it immediately. “These are damn good!”

“Thank you! They are made with love and the best oranges Topakasa can produce!” Lorena smiles as she looks at Bruce.

“Does Bruce shit Oranges or what?” Koh chuckles.

“C-Could you not say those types of things while we’re eating?” Jesse looks disgusted.

“What a sappy reunion…” Odetta starts chuckling.

“So, you’re the type of girl who always comments from the side?” Jess didn’t like that intervention for some reason.

“I can say things directly, pansy boy.” Odetta smirks. Jesse frowns.

“Fufufu… Well said, Odetta. He really does look like a pansy!” Catastrovania backs up her friend.

“Y-You’re just looking to get made fun of…” Bruce can’t hide his feelings towards Jesse’s attitude.

“Maybe he likes it!” Lorena tries to be positive.

“Knowing him he does.” Koh chuckles.

“It doesn’t surprise me one bit from what I’m seeing.” Camilo is being mean too.

“….I wanna leave.” Jesse is sick and tired of this shit.

“Your friend is crap, Alfred.” Odetta doesn’t like Jesse.

“He sure is.” You start chuckling.

You had a lovely night once again with everyone you care about. But this is not the end, you still have a store to take care of!

[End.]

Man what a ride, our boy not only got his revenge, but e became a hero and he scored. Atta boy Alfred Brown.

Comments: I loved the quest as, it was a fucking rollercoaster, it was fun, funny a bit of crazy as well, we went to all or nothing against Aliester to being a a very careful planner and was interesting to see how our boy was like an antithesis of Aliester's crew, like even the awful people our boy was willing to talk things out even stand a hand, hell we fixed Siske and she was a lost case, I am proud of our boy, well done QM.

Questions. Other than Maggy and Siskie which others girls would be a guarantee for our boy Alfred? Who else could we have recruited on our quest for revenge? If we lost on our battle against Aliester would we get an Bad End? Also, can you post a picture of Odettastrovania?

what a fucking journey Chief. I remember seeing the first thread, god it feels like so long ago I was bored out of my mind scrolling through qst and finding this.
All I can say is thank you for creating this amazing quest, I'm so glad it reached an end I think everyone can be happy with.
God this has been a ride. But I guess this is where it ends, at least for Alfred.

Thank you so much for this man, go grab a cold one and celebrate, I know a few of us are.

Thank you for your comments, I'm overwhelmed by the response the ending got. I expected far fewer people interested in this. All in all, I'm really happy! Now I'll answer your questions.

>>4580826

>Any chance for 'Not a Petty Revenge Quest' in some distant future?

It's very unlikely that happens any time soon, and by the time it can, I don't expect many people to be interested still, but I'll say it anyway: I thought about doing a silly non-canon thread for funsies. Sequels can be dangerous.

>Is this the most likely end of Alfred's journey?

Alfred has a slight chance of showing up in the other quest I'm making (DYBQ). So you never know if it's over or not for him. I don't think he's going to be all that relevant there anyway. But if you are not interested in that, take this as the end of Alfred's journey.


>>4580829

>Other than Maggy and Siskie which other girls would be a guarantee for our boy Alfred?

Laetitia, Brandy, Dulce and Iamar (She's desperate for attention). The others would've most likely rejected Al, saying that they are not ready for a relationship or have a full meltdown without giving an answer (Cat and Ichie).

>Who else could we have recruited on our quest for revenge?

While the possibilities are endless (I really don't have any strict metric to say who can or can't be a party member, so I would allow anyone to join), the ones who were planned at one point to join or I toyed with the idea that they could, were:

Spectralhound, Ichie, Koh, Jesse, Camilo and any random mafia thug.


>If we lost on our battle against Aliester would we get an Bad End?

There were sadder endings planned if you guys didn't manage to beat him.


>Also, can you post a picture of Odettastrovania?

I'm really, really, really tired right now! But tomorrow I can draw her! Let's hope the thread survives for that long.

>>4580834
This.

>>4581024
I won't!

>>4581026
Did you have any plans to follow up on unused plot threads like Gunnar Ditlevsen and Zain ‘La Pared’ Koroma both having had said they would be looking us to return the favors they gave us?

Would there had been drastic changes in plot if he had picked different missions while working for Odetta? For example if we had taken the ghost in the law firm job from Ubaldo?
>>
>>4581026
How soon after the return to Laoling did Al and Maggie fuck? And when is the smut and lewds?
>>
>>4581026
All right thanks a lot QM, Not surprised Ali had so many woman interested in him, he was always willing to help people and A LOT of people really needed someone to help them or just give them a shoulder to cry and talk to. Also QM you shouldn't be surprised, the quest is good is just there are a lot lurkers, back when the quest started I was a lurker till about our team runover the hitman. I'l be looking forward to Odettastrovania, thanks and see ya on your next quest.
>>
>>4580815
Well done and good job. Think we got as close to a golden ending as we could get. Certainly were some tense moments, and it was nice to see the build up of revenge be worth it.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments! Here is Odettastrovania! She’s really happy she got to wear this costume again! I’ll be answering questions and looking at the comments as long as the thread is alive.

>Did you have any plans to follow up on unused plot threads like Gunnar Ditlevsen and Zain ‘La Pared’ Koroma both having had said they would be looking us to return the favors they gave us?

They would’ve helped to raise your skills by a lot if you guys decided to spend the last day training with them. And let’s say Gunnar returned the favor with a wedding cake…

>Would there had been drastic changes in plot if he had picked different missions while working for Odetta? For example if we had taken the ghost in the law firm job from Ubaldo?
Yes, it would’ve been a completely different ending in almost all regards. I can’t even imagine it at this point.


>>4581061
>How soon after the return to Laoling did Al and Maggie fuck?
They are a pretty active young couple, you figure it out! Jokes aside, Al probably wouldn’t have gotten serious with Maggie this soon if she didn’t pass her exams.

> And when is the smut and lewds?
We have a nice wholesome ending, and I'm a tiny bit tired still. If we do the non-canon thread for funsies these kinds of stuff can be there.
>>
>>4581346
GOD BLESS YOU QM -- I'm sure I, along with a lot of people, would be interested in a non-canon thread
>>
>>4581346
I am curious, how much damage was done to Max Payne's operations? Brother beaten to a bloody pulp aside, Ichie is no longer dating his brother, and the family managing a bunch of his stuff might now be in disarray. Likewise, Odetta, various clips, and the like should have dented his pocket book.
Seems Johnny is going to be seeing some family too as well, and he shares his talent with cooking. I fear how many hobo girls will flock to him if his grampa teaches him his secret arts.

>>4581346
Wonderful QM. Odettastrovania is pretty cute.
>>
>>4581346
Will we see Aliester or any other side characters from here in DYBQ?

Most likely, yes! If you read all the endings, some are pretty straight forward about it.
>>
>>4581891
lol, Ichie and her "problems".
>>
>>4581346
Loved the quest OP! You really have a lot of talent! Best of luck in your future endeavors mate!
