Votes:

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

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

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

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

Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore!

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

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

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

“Is that your best apology? I think you two missed my lips...” You wiggle your eyebrows! You’ll tease them until there’s no tomorrow!

“Y-Yourrr what now…?!” Mirjam is overwhelmed by the emotions.

“He said his lips, Mirjam! His lips! He wants us to get lovey-dovey!” By helping her sister process it, Grace is also internalizing the idea.

“W-We can do that…?” Mirjam is falling prey to your teasing.

“Was there anything stopping you?” You continue making your brows wave. You’re having fun!

“N-No…” Mirjam shook her head.

“Is there anything stopping you now?” You raise your waving eyebrows.

“And you call us greedy?” Grace gives a sinful look! You didn’t think the friendly airhead had bad intentions! “I guess we don’t have any other option but to do it again!”

“W-We don’t…?!” Mirjam seems to have forgotten it was her idea to begin with.

“But if you want an actual kiss, you’ll have to turn your head towards the lucky one…” Grace is ready to pounce. “Ready or not! Here we go!”

“Y-Yeah!” Mirjam is letting herself get dragged along!

Due to your response, neither of them has realized that food is coming over – Oliver will arrive when these two lay their lips on you! And if you don’t turn your head at the right time, you’ll end up with two kisses on the cheek again! They’re walking towards you with their eyes closed like a pair of cute dummies! What a predicament! You need to think fast!

What do you do?!

…You effortlessly duck and step forward, leaving those two to continue their path forward. You look back to see the Tomato collision unfold! Their lips touch, turning their bodies to the great reddish from the excitement as you were expecting. Things escalate for a second too many until they quickly realize something is off.

“G-GRRRRACE?!” Mirjam is the first one to open her eyes!

“MIRJAM?!”” Grace states in horror!

“Heh.” You chuckle as you continue walking towards the entrance.

“AAAAAH!!!” Both girls hate this so much, they drop down to have a meltdown full of shame! They didn’t act like it was disgusting though.

“What happened?” Oliver is standing at the gate, you blocked the view of the two silly tomatoes – he has a tray with lunch for you three.

“Something silly and cute.” You nonchalantly grab the food. Yeah, it was something silly, cute and kinda hot until their tantrum started. “Thanks for bringing the food!”

“Don’t mention it.” Oliver waves off your words, then gets closer. “I wasn’t gonna bother you if they were confessing, y’know? I know how irksome it is when someone interrupts.” He was planning on peeking first before making his move.

“Thanks. But it’s fine now.” You appreciate that he isn’t a creep like your sister.

“You sure? They literally buried their heads in the sand.” Oliver wants to laugh. It’s true, both tomatoes went back to their roots.

“Eh, you know them.” You act like this is normal.

“I don’t think I do anymore.” Watty doesn’t see this as normal. “Which reminds me, don’t come over to the Camper for a while.”

“W-Why?” You believe he sounded ominous.

“You know them.” Watty acts like he saw some war crimes… He’s a former terrorist who saw his entire family get murdered to pieces and his friends die – so it must be quite something. “So keep the trays.”

“Right…” You can tell he doesn’t want to go back.

What do you do?

>Invite Oliver to stay for a while. The more the merrier or whatever…
>Take these two tomato ostriches with you and return to the Camper.
>You said you were going to continue teasing these two, and that’s what you’re going to continue doing! Pull them out of the sand! And… eat first, you don’t want the food to get cold.

“My food’s waiting back there, so see you in a bit.” Oliver takes a deep breath like he’s going back to a warzone.

“Thanks for everything, man. I really appreciate it!” You try to cheer him up by being a little more enthusiastic for the help received than usual.

Oliver parts away with a peace sign, leaving the Comfy Castle behind...

Now it’s time to farm these tomatoes out of the ground. You know tomatoes don’t grow directly from the ground, they’re akin to fruits… or are they fruits? You’re level 4 Knowledge, you should know this stuff, but oh well, it’s not like you have a phone to look this up… No, you’re in the past, decisively teasing these two cute girls for your and their amusement. You simultaneously pick them by the waist and pull them out!

“Ease there, girls! Don’t get sand on the food!” You say as they fly out of the ground!

“PHIL!” Grace is very ashamed! “What was that?! Why did you move away?!”

“Uhmmm….!” Mirjam wants to go back to her hole, but she’s petrified from the embarrassment.

“I saw Oliver and went forward, it’s not my fault you two didn’t look where you were going.” You come up with an easy excuse.

“I couldn’t bear to know I’ve been rrrrejected…” Mirjam admits her heart was compromised.

“You took me too seriously! I was teasing Phil back! I was expecting him to stay put like the good guy he is, then we’d smooch him on those puffy cheeks he has.” Grace admits it was all part of her scheme that backfired. You don’t have puffy cheeks, they’re sparkling for some reason though. “Phil! We deserve a proper apology.” The airhead waves her arms with intent.

“Well, lunch is here!” You show them the tray with the burgers and the soda cans.

“Those burgers look really yummy, but they aren’t enough, right, Mirjam?” Grace demands something specifically from you!

“Mhm! Meals aren’t enough this time!” Mirjam agrees despite not being able to look at each other after their kiss.

…But their stomachs betray them by roaring loudly! They start eating their burgers without an ounce of shame.

“So good!” Grace loves the meat!

“Incrrredible!” Mirjam loves it with her entire heart!

“Phil, think about how to make it up to us for that.” Grace demands retribution.

This chain of apologies from one side to another is going to strange places.

What do you do?

>Offer to actually kiss them to apologize! On the lips!
>Reject the notion that you need to apologize completely. They were the ones who goofed themselves! You deserve actual compensation!
>Offer your burger for peace! If they accept, tease them for only thinking about food.
>Write In.

As your one-day classmates continue chomping the meal with their fangs, you ponder how to continue teasing them – because you’re sure as hell aren’t going to do something boring and apologize. And as you ponder, you start eating your goodish burger, you ate better ones before…

“That was heavenly…” Mirjam cleans herself with a napkin.

“I can’t go back to eating from the cafeteria.” Grace licks her fingers.

“Okay, girls, I know how to apologize!” You finish your burger.

“We’re listening!” Grace is ready to get what she deserves.

You approach without saying a word but with intention…!

“U-Uhm, what arrre you doing?” Mirjam flushes as you’re getting awfully close to them.

“I want to kiss you two to apologize! On the lips!” You exclaim like this isn’t unusual! “You girls are okay with that, right?” Better get their consent while you’re at it.

“O-On the lips?!” Mirjam is feeling dizzy just thinking about it.

“On the lips.” You don’t think they hear you clearly. “No games. No ducking. No anything.”

“G-Grace, did you hear Phil…?” Mirjam feels like she’s the only one reacting, and she’s overwhelmed. “Grace…?”

“Mirjam, you don’t want to?” You look down...

“No! I mean, yes! Yes, I want to!” Mirjam shouts decidedly. “I want to, okay?!”

“Phil…” Grace raises her voice. “You’re hot, cute, and dreamy! Please, let’s kiss! I have, like, the hugest crush on you!” Grace blurts it out like she couldn’t contain it anymore, and throws herself onto you! “I’ll never have this chance again! It’s like summer love!”

“N-No, me first!” Mirjam jumps ahead as well, they’re both competing for your smooches!

“G-Girls…!” You can’t kiss them both at the same time even if you want to so much that you’re overworking your brain at the moment to find a way!

“Phil…!!!” They’re not thinking rationally anymore! They’re infatuated with their love!

Y-You need to do something before it gets to you too!

What do you do?!

>Calm them down and tell them it was all a joke! You were teasing them, nothing more!

“Girls!” You drag them by the waist towards your body to apply some dominance over the situation and give yourself some time to think about how to simultaneously kiss both girls. You three all lay on the sand, with them

“Phil…!” Both girls give you that special look. They’re going to gladly follow your lead no matter what, as long as you don’t take your time.

You’re thinking very hard on the logistics of a dual kiss, your engineer heart full of level 4 knowledge is incapable of coming up with a solution. As a matter of fact, you hardly doubt that even with maxed-out wisdom you’re incapable of obtaining such a technique unless it’s very uncomfortable to some of the people involved. Your brain has come to the conclusion to stop wasting their time and kiss them in whatever order you see fit!

Without saying a word, you grab the back of Grace’s head and pull her to you. The sensation is so great that it takes a moment for you to realize you’re kissing! You two sit up as the long smooching continues; you feel an arm around your neck from the other direction, without intending to, you turn to that side – at that moment, Mirjam puts her lips on yours! Their union goes on and off from her excitement, and in every pause, she murmurs how much she loves you. It’s frantic, like not wanting to lose you. You grab her cheeks and caress them… then kiss her proper, slowing things down to enjoy the moment. Mirjam goes along, until you gently pull her back to end this sweet moment…

Both girls are flashing red, you give them a little taste and their eyes are demanding more…

“Better?” You remind everyone this is your apology.

“Don’t talk, just kiss me again…” Grace doesn’t care about the reason that this is happening.

“Morrrre…” Mirjam doesn’t understand why it had to stop. Honestly, you won’t mind continuing but…

“C’mon, girls, don’t be greedy.” You try to ease expectations.

“You were enjoying it too, y’know?” Grace doesn’t think there’s greed involved when everyone is having fun.

“How couldn’t I…?” You smile.

“Then what’s the prrroblem?” Mirjam is ready for more love even if she has to share!

These girls are so lost in the moment that they forgot where you are!

What do you do?

Ménage Au Trois, here we go!
https://youtu.be/fskG0pBXQT4

We literally have a girl from our time to bang before this is over. Matilda has been as loyal to johnny as yu yan or nariko or Nina. She's earned the D by this point. What have Mirjam and Grace done to deserve this. The D is earned not distributed willy nilly.

>>5361631
Holy shit, this is fucking delusional

>>5361631
They deserve it because:
A. They begging for it
B. They are cute
C. No other girl besides Yu has been direct with the desire of D, ESPECIALLY Matilda
D. It’s more of a therapeutic session for a two grown women who probably living in regrets about lost golden days and the fact they abandoned their friends (Remember, Bubble and Reality is tied by a psychic bullshit, you DO affect it by your actions)
E. You are an idiot if you gonna regret Ménage Au Trois.

“The problem, Mirjam, is that a Sand Castle isn’t the proper place for a smooching session.” Yes, you recovered your Comfy Castle, but the stupid green flag is still on top – wait, that’s not your issue, you need a private place to do something like this!

“Y-You’re rrright…” Mirjam laments she has common sense.

“So, what if he is? It’s now or never.” Grace, on the other hand, is willing to discard it.

“Grace, it doesn’t have to be now or never.” You ease their worries.

“But you’re leaving…” Grace waves her arms, full of sadness.

“Girls, don’t worry, we can do something later… elsewhere… If you catch my drift.” This is the reason why you wave those eyebrows all the time, for moments like this!

“Y-You mean…?” Mirjam is trying to register what you’re implying in her mind!

“Yes, I want to extend the smooching session!” You adjust your glasses.

“And do more?” Grace starts gyrating her hips.

“M-Morrre…?” Mirjam is feeling overwhelmed again.

“If you’re up for it.” You make your brows dance again!

“Tonight?” Grace won’t back down until a verbal contract is agreed upon.

“Sure.” Your schedule is open.

“Then it’s been decided.” Grace licks her lips with malignant intentions.

“O-One more kiss to seal the deal!” Mirjam is really thirsty!

You quickly kiss them both on the cheeks to not activate *that* side of them! “Done deal!” You exclaim!

“Hehehe!” Mirjam gives out some cutesy giggles. She liked that a lot! For a moment you thought they’d be mad at you for it.

“Why not a proper one?” Grace teases.

“How many times do I have to tell you not to be greedy?” You raise an eyebrow.

“You’re one to talk, you’re inviting us both at the same time.” Grace points out you might not be as humble as you pretend you are.

“You girls are fine with this?” You didn’t think this through.

Mirjam and Grace share a look then shrug.

“Mirjam, we’re like super close, but I never thought we’d share a man.” Grace gets honest. “But it’s fine.”

“Indeed, I always thought you’d be like the fun aunt to my children.” Mirjam admits.

“Well, you shared a kiss too.” You remind them of your perfect prank.

“…!!!!” Both girls turn tomato…

You’d ask them who was the better kisser, but you don’t want to put them into overdrive.

Look, the way he phrased it isn’t necessarily consistent with Johnny’s in-character way of looking at it but the core of his sentiment isn’t inaccurate or untrue or foreign to Johnny. So far Johnny’s only banged with girls he’s super close with, in character there’s got to be a reason for that and I think it’s a fairly simple one. Setting aside how dense he can be sometimes (he’s clearly not so dense all the time), bangin all the girls that are willing would produce a huge set of problems for him.

Not that bangin’ all the girls that are willing is what we’re doing here, but bangin’ any of the girls that are willing and aren’t super-special (like Nina and Yu Yan both were/are to Johnny) produces the same set of problems. Those problems, initially, can be effectively summed up as “if Johnny is willing to bang women he’s not close to, then why is he unwilling to bang/engage more intimately with the women he IS close to?” This question, on its own, is enough to cause devastating pain and hurt to at least (off the top of my head): Matilda, Ruby, Nariko, Definitely Nariko, Ajna, Scarlet, Definitely Scarlet.

But that’s only the initial problem that Johnny being loose causes. The next problem is whatever happens once those girls listed (and any additional ones) find out and the consequences of their actions from there. Sure, it’d be nice if all these girls were mature about it and took it in stride, but we’re dealing with mostly young people here who don’t really have the life experience to deal with their emotions healthily and intelligently yet.

Setting all of THAT aside as well, there’s also the in-character motivation to NOT be like Osgood. The more we engage intimately with every (or simply MORE) women who want to, the more similar our behavior becomes to what Osgood was doing. That comparison may, or may not, hold up when you look at the details but Johnny is acutely aware of the generally terrible and empty way that Osgood’s life ended up.

His reticence so far to take women up on their willingness can easily be seen as him in-character not trusting himself to be able to not devolve to that level. Or it’s caused by not wanting to hurt all the new friends he’s made. Or any number of other reasons, but whatever it is Anon’s desire to NOT engage in this sort of behavior is perfectly valid both as anon’s opinion and from Johnny’s in-character viewpoint.

I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and glance at the thread, and I’m also phonepostingg, so please forgive any minor typos or poorly explained logical links.

>>5361853

>>5361853
Person who made the original post here. I made that original post really late at night in the middle of a delirious episode and it was half a joke and you sort of hit on the general feeling. I would've been a little less wordy about it but generally yes. I would prefer if johnny kept lewds with girls he's closer with was my point. He barely knows Mirjam and Grace and there's no realistic chance he could even maintain a relationship with him.

>>5361853
There's nothing wrong with two consenting parties agreeing to have sex, we're not lying to these girls, they know what's happening and are choosing to make their decision. If that was all Osgood did, then it would be a completely different story.

>>5361908
i think we also had similar conversation about making out with Yukiko, the dog girl.

What im trying to say is, we are not route locking, yet. I mean. Chief will tell us about it beforehand. Let us have fun while we can before the shit will hit the fan, again. Granted, its been +50 threads since we actually did something with high stakes on it...
And dont worry, Matilda will get her D

>>5361923
I’m not disagreeing with you, but I am saying that I don’t think Nariko or Scarlet will see it the same way.

>>5361953
If that's the case then it just isn't gonna work out with them

>>5362055
I suppose that’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it would be that sticking out dick in Grace and Mirjam isn’t worth losing two highly useful allies, but I’ll admit that’s only a possibility not a surety.

>>5362315
Wait, do you actually believe they wouldn't even be our allies anymore for this? Now that's just ridiculous

>>5362434
Bruh, Nariko tried to kill herself over like nothing. You think she’s gonna respond healthily to her purpose in life choosing other girls over her, when she specifically has a complex about not being good enough courtesy of Chio? Scarlet’s a bigger maybe, but it sure won’t make things smooth and easy.

>>5362468
She didn't do it over nothing, she did it cause Johnny almost died and she let it happen and cause she didn't feel like Johnny trusted her at all anymore. That's completely different. And if you think she'd actually stop being allied to us for having sex then she must not be too loyal in your mind to be begin with. And also, she's been way better recently since we talked to her and she's started doing her best

Jesus Christ, you guys are pathetic cucks! Every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME whenever we are FUCKING CLOSE TO FUCKING, you guys acts like cowards! Scarlet’s date? Pussied out. Matilda’s very subtle advances? Ignored. Yu’s Very direct questions? Whined. Nina? I swear, I saw you guys were crying NINA WAS RAPED BY JOHNNY and I hate this. Stop be such virgins and GET TO IT.

There’s plenty of votes, and you’re shouting at ghosts. Nobody here has brought up anything you mentioned. It’s also civil enough that it’s discussion, not argument.

Also
>Matilda’s subtle advances
>Literally climbed into our sleeping bag with us
Srsly why are we giving dick to these two when best girl’s begging for it

>>5362596
She’s been doing better recently sure, but I don’t really trust her in a high stress situation or if her weak points (like not getting the approval of those she loves) are specifically attacked. She’s better but still unstable.

I guess it’s not so much that I think her or Scarlet would stop being allied with us. It’s not a worry about loyalty, it’s that I think they’d be rendered useless as allies. Or that they’d be put into a state where it’ll take an outsized effort to make them useful again. Way more effort than it’d take just to not dick down some hoes.

>>5362665
I literally can't believe you think that lowly of the girls, this is just absurd at this point

>>5362766
Meh, Matilda’s the only ally who’s been consistently worth a shit. I can’t believe you trust any of the ones in question after the shitshow of Judgment Day (and Scarlet’s shitshows beforehand).

I like Matlilda as much as the next guy and I do wish we would lewd her now and not Grace and Mirjam. But you gotta take it easy man. it's not worth getting this upset over.

Also, DYBQuest waifu wars are such an entertaining phenomenon to witness, anons will lead on Johnny's harem on a trail of noncommitment for as long as it can manage, adamant on maintaining both Johnny's obliviousness and his charm/sex appeal to the point of having the QM indirectly comment on this via a ghosgood.
To give my two cents, I belive that the sex-starved anons self-insert into Johnny too much, assisted by the QM attempts to have his cake and eat it too (Ex: 1st person POV during lewd scenes and the spoiler comments hinting towards Johnny's repressed emotions). The MC can be either a self-insert or his own character, it can morph from one to the other, but in my honest opinion it can't be both.
Back to the romance, we've had this conversation every chance we've got and every time it changed nothing, the winning vote will forever be to give her the D because anons do not "develop", for the lack of a better word, as opposed to a book or a movie character, you can't have character arcs for anons because we can't learn.
Unto the waifus, there is the problem that pretty much everybody, or better said everybody vocal, thinks that love-> sex=good, which it doesn't. Love is not just physicality, not just the Eros, you can love somebody platonically, you can have intimacy without sexuality(that, in my opinion as a pseud, is the highest love man can achieve). Johnny has 2 options for a serious and true romance, Matilda, Yu but, let's be serious, Yu has more or less won in the Eros department: she lives next to Johnny and thus there is already proximity, she and Matilda were the only ones to support us after the CATastrophe and after the showe scene and game night, she is Johnny's best option for a serious love. As a Matildfag, I would not want Johnny and her to get together, she can do much better than Johnny. What I would hope is for us to evolve from uga buga caveman brain and have Johnny love her platonically because that's what both of them deserve.
In conclusion, this quest is the closest thing to a Monogatari Quest and it shows why such a quest wouldn't work.

>>5363100
That's bullshit. People don't always "give her the D" I mean look at Chio last time.

>>5363100
i don't care about any of that shit man I just want Johnny to fuck Matilda first

>>5363112
Indeed I could have worded it better but the core ideas are the same:
>Johnny is both a smooth operator and a dense protag because of course he is
>We don't have to fuck the girls to love them
>>5363124
You are a couple of years too late mate, Nina was Johnny's first.

>>5363011
I’m not mad, I’m not even passionate enough about it to put up a write-in vote. I’ll talk about why I think it’s the wrong plan plenty though. It’s also fun to stir the shit pot

>>5363018
Flameless people are demonstrably and canonically less likely to experience a breakdown or suffer from debilitating character flaws. And then there’s Scarlet, but Scarlet’s transformation into being useful has been so quick, complete, and painless that it has the sense of being too good to be true, and is accordingly inherently suspicious.

“Anyway…” Your joke was successful, time to move on to more serious matters. “I need to take the green flag down.” You’re in Comfy Kingdom Territory! It stands for coziness and comfortableness! Ivanna and Boring Bert stood for nothing like the color green of their flag! Screw Green!

You ponder if the sand structure can withstand your weight on top of it. How did you put the flag there to begin with? How did the kids get there? There’s no hole? Did they jump? You can jump too, you can reach farther than those midgets ever will because you’re much taller. Taller AND wiser. You’ll show everyone how tall and wise you are by jumping on a sand castle without destroying it!

…

“Phil, don’t worrrrry! The castle can withstand your weight.” Mirjam notices you stopped moving once outside.

“Yeah, Sugar made it Fat Proof, whatever that means…” Grace isn’t sure who’s supposed to be fat here. “She said ‘There won’t be any more feeble castles that can’t take one kick anymore’ or something like that.” Grace imitates Matilda’s voice almost perfectly, too much emotion though. It wasn’t one kick…

“R-Right…” You cough. Did they read your subconscious? That’s illegal, not even Philonune can do that. “Here I go.”

You go up the Sand Ladder by the Sand Wall of the Sand Castle and take off the non-sand Green Flag from the non-sand pole and put your appropriately colored Purple Comfy Flag up instead. The more you look at this structure, it looks more like a military base than a medieval building. Whatever, the foreigner coalition has been eradicated, you have brought peace back to the land. You jump down and almost eat dirt.

“There.” You act cool even if you briefly thought you’d snap your neck from the fall. “Well, girls, your mission now is to make sure the Castle doesn’t get taken away by evil forces of doom.”

“So, like, Oliver?” Grace tilts her head. “He said something about being evil or somethin’. It was, like, kinda sad.”

You’ve kinda realized now that everyone is calling Oliver by his actual name (you did before, you just didn’t say anything, you swear). He didn’t bother to stick with being ‘Leo Major’! What’s the point of being Phil then?! Philonune says it’s a great name though.

“Him too. Remember, Wilma and Cookie are your allies. Y’all must protect the Comfy Kingdom at all costs.” No outsiders can take away what’s rightfully yours.

“What’s that?” Mirjam notices you’re acting like a weirdo.

“You’ll understand later.” You wiggle your eyebrows. Yeah! They’ll know when you cuddle together! “Now, I must go, I need to buy something.” Protection! There’s no Bradford Jr. that can help...

“Can you buy us a present? Y’know, for defending the castle.” Grace gets excited. “I mean, the castle will be fine… but that flag.”

“Sure.” You accept. Damn tomato mercenaries…

You part ways with the beautiful Comfy Fort and the beautiful guards in it. You arrive at the first store you visit to ask for directions to where the nearest pharmacy is located. The gentle shop vendor who looks vaguely familiar tells you where to go, you walk off with a new path in mind.

At the drugstore, you carelessly asked one of the workers inside if they were selling any condoms.

“Y-Yes, sir. Over there.” The poor worker never saw this question coming. Judging by his appearance, you think he’s a CotF. You wonder if that’s a classist way to think.

“Thanks, pal.” You give him a thumbs up.

“Wow, I knew it. Utterly shameless.” That voice sounds familiar… “Your lady friend is not around, perhaps you’re planning on pouncing on another girl? Is that how you are planning on wasting your youth? So blatant and unrepentant.”

It’s the lady from this morning, from the tent, the one you returned the keys for the truck to. You question your sanity for a moment because you see no good reason as to why she’s here right now.

“You know him, lady?” The security guard boy asks the nosy lady.

“Not as well as I’d like to, we shared some laughs but good-looking men don’t give me more than a glance, I bet he didn’t waste a thought on me after all we went through.” The office lady wallows in her pain.

What did you go through? You returned a key and nothing more!

What do you do?

>Buy the things and get out of here.
>“Did you just follow me here..?” Act creeped out! You have an actual stalker?!
>“Excuse me? You cheated on me. It’s over.” Pretend you’re in one of Nariko’s soap opera, and imagine she’s your ex-wife Carol.

“Excuse me? You cheated on me.” You point at your ex with rightful rage.

“M-Me?!” The Office lady is dumbfounded by your words.

“What…?” The security guard feels bad for you.

“It’s over.” You dramatically look away like one of the main characters of Nariko’s soap operas.

“N-No, it isn’t…!” The serial cheater won’t let it end like this. She wants to throw herself to grab your leg.

“Lady, you need to let it go.” The security guard gets in her way, and tries to escort her out of the building.

“Y-You don’t understand, I love him…!” The Office lady shouts, heartbroken. “No. Wait. I-It isn’t like that, he isn’t my husband!”

“Yeah, I know, you’re divorced, lady. Let the guy be or I’ll call the cops.” The guard starts pointing at the exit.

“N-No, that’s not what I’m trying to say! I don’t even know that hunk’s na—” The lady gets shoved out of the building.

“So much drama these days.” The security guard laments.

As all of that was going on, you got what you needed, including some deodorant! You spent 5 minutes talking with the guard to kill the time so that awful stalker leaves the perimeter.

Several minutes later, you’re back at the beach, more people have arrived since you left, but not a considerable amount. You get to the Camper to find absolutely no one around, they should be at the castle, you use this chance to store your protection inside your personal cabinet.

You make your way to the castle! Your flag flames beautifully at the top. Everything is right in the world!

Everyone is at the edge of the sea, having a chat, except for Chio who is sunbathing – and Cookie, who is protecting the castle at the top – she’s throwing some snarky comments from her position though. With your arrival, you proposed to play some Beach Related games! Everyone is on board!

Hooray! You gained +2 Athletics points for enjoying the beach through sporting activities! Long live the fun summer memories…! It’s not summer though.

“Cookie, did you enjoy the day?” You ask as the sun gives his final regards for the day.

“H-Huh?” Cookie wasn’t expecting your question. “Everyone did, right?” The supposedly athletic girl dodges the question.

“It was a wonderful day.” Chio enjoyed her time even if her castle was taken over, destroyed, rebuilt and all that.

“See?” Cookie is trying not to be the center of attention.

“…That’s your answer?” Wilma wants Cookie to be honest.

“How would you put it, Sugar? Mildly entertaining?” Cookie really wants to deflect answering the question.

“I suppose if you choose to undersell it.” Matilda DID have fun and she’s more than willing to admit it.

“Yeah, everyone agrees it was tons of fun, Phil.” Cookie looks away and stares at the sunset, smirking. She’s enjoying being an ass.

“I’m asking you ‘cause you were the one begging to come here.” You poke fun at her.

“Huh?! I-I didn’t beg you, what are you talking about?! I didn’t even think about comin’ to the beach.” Cookie feels slighted.

“Hmmm, I remember Phil telling us that you, like, desperately wanted to go on a trip, and like the great sisters we are, we decided to come along out of the goodness of our hearts.” Grace wants to tease her too.

“I-I wasn’t d-desperate! W-Where is all of this c-coming from?!” Cookie refuses to get slighted like this.

“Stop blabbering like a fool, and answer him truthfully.” Chio’s teasing is as harsh as ever.

“F-Fine, I loved it. We all cool now?” Cookie turns tomato. “I’m gonna get back at all of you, you hear me?”

“Getting back at us for having a fun time?” Mirjam doesn’t get it.

“…We’ve never done something like this before. We never had the chance.” Wilma takes a deep breath and smiles.

“Never?” Oliver finds that odd. This place is close by.

“The stars don’t align often, y’know?” Cookie raises an eyebrow.

“Mhm, we weren’t old enough for trips like these, and when we were…” Mirjam gets sad that they lost contact.

“This doesn’t have to be the last one. Make it the first of many.” Matilda wants them to stay together.

“You’re acting like this is over.” You put a stop to this melancholic moment. “Did we forget to do something special here at the beach? I don’t come often.”

“Like swimming? We didn’t swim.” Oliver wanted to take a dive.

“Kinda late for that. I don’t wanna freeze.” Grace is happy staying on the sand.

“…We did get our feet wet.” Wilma’s feet are plastered in sand.

“I’m gonna do that.” You didn’t partake in that before because you went shopping. “Anyone want to join me?”

“How’s that any fun?” Chio is a party pooper.

“I don’t know. We can find out together.” You open the window for the opportunity. Nobody is interested in joining.

“…I’ll go.” Wilma doesn’t mind. She seems to like the ocean.

“Sure, I’ll join as well, it’s rather sad if it’s only you two. And, I didn’t go inside the ocean either.” Chio stands up. “Just make it quick.”

“The water is super cold, you sure you want to, Fry Fish?” Cookie raises a brow.

“Do you have a better proposition for our time?” Chio is unamused.

“I don’t know… how about a picture?” Cookie murmurs the last bit, kinda ashamed. “I know it’s lame…”

“Sounds lovely!” Wilma loves the idea.

“Oh! A memento of our trip! I like the idea!” Oliver is all on board.

“A m-memento? Sounds like we’re going to die soon.” Grace didn’t like that.

“Relax, I don’t see any spaceships around to take you away.” Cookie smirks.

“I hate youuu…” Grace cowers in fear.

“A group picture...” Matilda sounds rather sad.

“You okay?” You ask.

“Pay no mind.” Matilda does a Cookie and refuses to be the center of attention. “Do we have a camera?”

“I do.” Chio takes one out of her purse. “It’s an important job tool, so be careful with it.”

“Let’s take it around the castle!” Mirjam proposes! You believe she has a BRILLIANT idea that EVERYONE should get behind!

Everyone nods, then starts walking to the spot!

“Get the flag in frame!” You need to immortalize your victory for generations.

“…Hmm?” Wilma notices something about the camera, or the purse itself. “Chio, did you take pictures today?”

“How did you kn— No, I didn’t!” Chio flushes. “Stop running your mouth and get in position, pudding head!”

“…?!!” Wilma didn’t like that.

You all got together and took a set of pictures using this archaic camera that’s brand new. The pics come out of the machine like in old movies! It’s very cool!

…

You wonder if you can take one of these to your time.

After that, you, Wilma, Chio and Cookie put your feet in the water before going back to the camper. It was cold… and not worth it. You can’t shake the sand off your feet. How annoying. But the trip is all done.

What’s the plan once everyone is back home?

>Demand a Pajama Party at Chio’s apartment. You’re sick and tired of sleeping inside the Camper!
>After everyone is asleep, you’ll sneak out to the girls’ apartment. You have gone out before, so it isn’t going to be that weird.
>Tell Matilda and Oliver to go ahead and visit Matilda’s grandfather. You need to stay to do a couple of things of your own, like what will happen to the food cart.

And so, everyone returned home from the beach trip. With the threat of danger all but gone, Wilma decided to stay the night with her sisters at Chio’s apartment to spend some quality time together. Mirjam and Grace clarified they won’t be able to join them for the entire night as they need to return to their apartment to sort some work-related stuff out. With a big parting hug, the tomatoes left the camper.

As they went away, you told Matilda and Oliver to go ahead and visit her grandfather since you still have the time. Sadly, you need to stay to do a couple of things of your own, like the Food Cart stuff, it’s not like this Bubble Dimension is going to cease to exist when you all leave. Matilda seems somewhat relieved, after mulling it over, she decided the best way to approach the visit was to go on her lonesome to the meeting – and she didn’t know how to tell you two without it being awkward. Oliver says he’ll find something to do.

Naturally, both are wondering what the heck you are going to do because the trip will be long enough that you won't be able to come back today. You tell them not to worry, you’ll find a place to stay. Your reassurance made your pals from the future less worried.

Matilda offers to drop you off wherever you want to go.

What do you do?

You ask Matilda to bring you to the Police Station to see how things are going over there. Before you left the camper, Matilda handed you a bag with your stuff in it, including your toothbrush, and reminded you that she’s leaving with San Wich and Naiad since they’re still working on how to close the gate. You wish them a nice trip!

Inside the station the mood feels denser than other days, like the status quo has shifted immensely, you know it did – two officials were found to be working alongside a criminal organization, and the mastermind behind it all is behind bars. Presumably. You haven’t seen it with your own two eyes.

“Welcome.” Officer Yareli has her eyes locked on her papers, yet you know she’s aware you’re the person standing in front of her desk.

“Your shift started?” You ask to break the ice. She’s in charge of the night one.

“Yes, it did.” Yareli puts her papers down and shifts her eyes to you. “How can I help you, Phil?”

What do you do?

>Ask if you can talk to the town villain Ophelia.
>Ask where Vanessa and Kobashi are. Are they busy with something?

“Can you tell me what’s going to happen to the orphanage, please?” You’re curious how this affects the kids and Wilma.

“Child Service Officers came over yesterday to figure out the situation with the Orphanage of the Blue. It created a domino effect after they found out about the destroyed orphanage building, the one your friends belong to. They’re rehousing everyone under the guidelines of Module A.” Yareli explains. She gives you a glance and realizes you don’t know what Module A is. “Module A propels foster parenting into adoption, it used to be the norm before Module B became what it is now. I won’t drown you with details, but Kobashi and I grew up in it.”

“Is it better?” You’re concerned.

“They’re trying not to relocate the children outside town. There are people in town willing to foster children, and the school will help to house some of them if it comes to it. The agent is giving the older ones the option to stay in their CotF apartments. I see this as an upside.” Yareli doesn’t feel strongly about it, but it could’ve been worse.

“That’s good, I think.” You didn’t think there was a better choice. “What happened to Ivanov?”

“I’m housing him. There were 2 kids that required special attention, and I offered to help.” Yareli is a big softie! “Kobashi is fostering the other one, a girl named Fiora. The rest will be staying at the same building with one of the Child Service Agents: Mr. Auburn, until he relocates them.” That name sounds familiar…

“Is Ivanov doing good?” You wonder.

“No.” Yareli is quick to respond.

“T-That’s a bummer.” You expected better news! “What else?”

“Ophelia Bruun is still locked in here; her case is going smoothly as the Lieutenant promised, she’s going to be transported to a proper cell in the city soon enough. Though, I’m sad to report that Sieb Bruun has vanished without a trace.” Yareli isn’t happy about this. She’s never happy, but she’s especially unhappy about it!

You hear a loud discussion coming from Vanessa’s office… You cannot make out the voices at all, not even if the Lieutenant is involved at all.

“Anything you guys need some help with?” You know they are lacking in troops at the moment, and by the sound of it – everyone is being overworked.

“I would rather not involve you anymore. You’ve done enough.” Yareli wants you to have fun.

“I had a fun break today, I can take it.” You relaxed already.

“Unless you can make Ms. Bruun avow her husband’s location, there isn’t much you can do.” Yareli couldn’t make her talk. “I appreciate the thought, Phil. But I don’t see a way how.”

“Did you try poking her?” You deadpan.

“…” Yareli puts your poking stick on the table, then locks her eyes on you…

…

D-Does she actually think this would work on anyone not named Vanessa van Zuspicious…?

What do you do?

>“It’s a joke, it won’t work.” Reject breaking the Janeeva Convention again. Also, for some reason, you feel like Sieb shouldn’t be caught.

The rest will be staying at the same building with one of the Child Service Agents: Mr. Auburn, until he relocates them.” That name sounds familiar…

>So Gauty, what’s the child service worker’s name that helped you?” You wonder as Wilma continues chipping away her pudding.

>“Robert Auburn.” Gautier closes his eyes, he’ll never forget it. Another Robert? “He never said his full name, but I found out on my own, just had to take a peek at the official papers my orphanage got, can’t forget his signature and all. Not that I keep this in mind to thank him or anything, if I can find him, he can spill his guts about where he put my siblings at. It would make things easier.”

You give a glance to the poking stick. It enchants you with its presence. You decide not to be charmed by it and ask something else to keep your mind away from it.

“Who is in Vanessa’s office?” You don’t know if the station is usually this noisy, but it’s worth asking.

“She’s having a meeting with two young gentlemen, two brothers – I don’t know their names. How they got a meeting with the Lieutenant is beyond me.” Yareli doesn’t appear to know a great deal about them.

“First time seeing them?” You act on your hunch and ask.

“Yes, they’re not from these parts.” Yareli is unmoved by your social acuity. “Now…” Yareli really wants you to take the poking stick.

The office door blasts open, taking your attention away from the stick. It’s the two brothers arguing, with Vanessa trailing behind from a short distance, looking as discombobulated as ever. One of them is frighteningly lanky and grizzly looking, and the other is… wide? He’s tall too, but not as tall as his brother, he’s in a far better mood – they’re like a comedy duo. You believe that you know them from somewhere. Yareli stands up from her curiosity.

“Har! Har! Har! You got your meeting! I told ya not to expect something different!” The wide brother chuckles, his voice echoes through the station. His taller brother seems upset.

“It’s imperative that we recover the item, you see, dear brother?” The taller brother sounds professional, yet he doesn’t sound as commanding as his brother.

“Your beard growing inside your ears or somethin’? It’s *off* limits, Max. The nice police lady said so.” The smiling brother shrugs down comically. “Evidence, you say it was?”

“C-Correct.” Vanessa didn’t want to upset the evil-looking lanky man. “We’re going to return your possessions once the investigation is over!”

“You admit the object belongs to me, correct? Then it’s only natural it returns to its rightful owner, don’t you see? It’s an irreplaceable historical piece from our family, an item dear to my heart. You don’t want to break my heart. Don’t you dare hurt my heart.” The lanky gentleman sounds psychotic, he never lets his lips rest until he’s done talking. “I request you to make an exception.”

“We’re not going over this again. You heard what she did.” The wider brother puts his foot down and pulls his brother from the beard.

“Allegedly.” The taller one slaps the hand of his brother out of his face.

“If you believe in her, wait for the trial.” The smirking brother doesn’t care one bit about what just happened.

“We shall see.” The gloomiest brother wants the last word.

“Yeah, we’re going to.” The other one responds; they’re not being witty, only childish.

“The evidence is quite damning if I say so myself.” Vanessa interjects at the worst time.

“…We’re leaving.” The gloomier brother starts walking towards the door.

What do you do?

>Accept poking Ophelia. Maybe you can get more information out of her than you were expecting.

“Are you two the Price Brothers?” You nonchalantly walk over to them to ask.

“Har har har!” The wider Price grabs his waist to laugh. He must be Future Wilma’s former husband. “It’s been a while since someone recognized me!”

“He’s speaking to both of us, dear brother.” The evil Maximum Price isn’t as amused by your question.

“In that case, wouldn’t it be kind of odd that he knows us as brothers, Max? I mean, nobody knows who you are.” Gamadiel’s carefree mood turns neutral. He knows there’s something off about you, and he’s letting his brother know.

“I’m overjoyed you noticed, dear brother.” Maximum Price doesn’t stop glaring at you.

“But it isn’t odd, if you think about it.” Gamadiel goes back to grinning.

“You know them, ciivy?” The alarms in Vanessa’s head are going off. She believes something bad will happen if you don’t pretend you don’t know them, she’s winking really hard to clue you in on her idea.

“I’m a retired Sumo Wrestler, Ms. van Zullekom! I slimmed down a lot, but my smile is unmistakable to my former fans! But you already know that, don’t you?” Gamadiel turns to you. “And I suppose you heard Max call me brother, hence why you referred to us as such!”

“Oh! I see! How splendid!” Vanessa wants badly for them to buy this hypothesis.

“How can we help you, stranger?” Maximum didn’t buy anything his brother said, he doesn’t trust you in the slightest. He checks his watch. “We have time to kill before our lawyer arrives.”

How do you respond?!

>“I wanted to let you know, Max, that one day you’ll pay for all you’re going to do.” Threaten.
>“I just wanted to confirm it. Nothing more, see ya!” Wave goodbye.
>“Have you heard about a guy named Houda Lan? I heard he’s been around town.” Taunt for funsies.
>“You two motherfuckers are friends with Ophelia Bruun, aren’t you?” Get hostile!
>Write In.

“Why, yes, I’d love your autograph, Mr. Price! My dad is a super-fan of yours, and he won’t believe that I met you in person!” You grab a pen and paper lying on Yareli’s desk. Did you just admit you’re not a CotF? You’re a filthy regular now! But it is not untrue that your dad liked sumo.

“Har, har, har! Your dad sounds like a smart man!” Gamadiel Price grabs both from your hands.

“He isn’t.” You deadpan.

Gamadiel laughs louder. “What’s his name?” The Sumo Wrestler is ready to pen it.

“His friends call him ‘Stinky Stan’.” You cough.

“Here you go, Stinky Jr.” Gamadiel smiles from ear to ear.

“Thanks…” Welp, you’re the butt of the joke now.

“It’s always wonderful to see humble athletes show affection to their supporters!” Vanessa sounds nervous, so she sucks up.

“We wouldn’t do what we do without fans, even while retired that rings true.” Gamadiel jubilantly raises his fist. “Please tell your father to keep supporting the greens.”

“Will do.” You awkwardly smile.

“You got what you wanted, Mr. Stinky Jr! Please, stop pestering these dangerous people!” Vanessa winks at you. You wonder what in the world she is doing.

“Pardon me, madam. Could you point out who you are calling ‘Dangerous’? Are you insulting us? Don’t you see the distress those false accusations can cause to a man? To his family? To his honor?” Maximum Price’s threatening tone gets faster as he rambles.

“Max, she knows of my accolades, of course I’m dangerous… in the ring.” Gamadiel puts his hand over his brother’s shoulder, then finger guns.

“The better question is who she’s calling Mr. Stinky Jr…” You glare at Vanessa, then turn your eyes to the poking stick, then back at her. Vanessa starts profusely sweating.

“A-Apologies! I didn’t read the situation correctly and I thought of it as a term of endearment!” Vanessa raises her arms like she’s not hiding anything.

“And, like, I see no reason for this amusing stinky fellow to part from our company.” Maximum is interested in you. “Please, indulge me for a brief passing moment, I’d like to know more about the likes of you. The youth.”

“Sure.” You act like you’re not talking to evil incarnate.

“Max! You’re in your 20s! Stop acting like you’re one of the fossils you like so much!” Gamadiel never stops laughing.

“Ignore my loud brother.” Maximum clears his throat. “Could you please inform me of what type of woman you like?”

“W-What?” Vanessa is confused. You’re confused. Gamadiel is confused. Yareli is impassive.

…And Maximum Price is asking you seriously.


Sadly this is all we have for this week’s thread, thanks for playing! And thanks for these 5 fun years! It’s been a blast!

>[Meanwhile, nearby Pokyo Lokyo’s Grand Hospital…]

“Aaaagh! I hate this! Why does he have to be like this?” Iris taps the steering wheel as she waits for the green light. She’s on her way to visit her favorite uncle at the hospital, the very same one who gifted her this very car. She’s on the phone too. She’s a public hazard, and doesn’t want to admit it.

“Iris.”

“He’ll be all like ‘I didn’t want to worry you, Iris’ or ‘it’s not an important surgery, Iris’. And maybe he’s right, it’s not urgent or life-threatening. But he doesn’t need to act all tough with me!” Iris makes the silliest voice imitating her uncle. “I know he’s not used to having me around the city, but it’s been a couple of years since you got me this job! He should’ve called me!”

“Iris.”

“Y-Yeah, don’t worry about me, I’m keeping my eyes on the road.” Iris tries to calm down the person she’s talking to through the phone. “I-I know I shouldn’t be talking while driving, but you’re the one who called.”

“IRIS.”

“C-Could you wait a sec? Someone’s botherin’ me.” Iris puts her phone on her chest. “What is it, Paksa?”

“A Crimzone ahead.” Her flame, ‘The Guardian of the West’ Virupaksa, points out.

“W-WHAT?!” Iris raises her phone again. “I’ll talk to you later, Ivanna!” She hangs up and parks her car. “UNCLE SEWEEEEEEL!!! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN TROUBLE?!”

>Iris runs as fast as she can with a gut feeling that her uncle is about to die…!


Now it’s the actual end of the thread! Thanks for playing for these 5 long years!

Thank YOU for running fpr these past 5 years!

>>5368245
It’s not really an uncommon question for rich folk to ask, Ruby asked us too. I think our answer is still the same: loyalty is a must, nice thighs are a bonus.

>>5368295
Hey man, thank YOU for 5 years. Seriously impressive that you’ve stuck with it (I’ve ran some quests and I know that’s some absurd dedication). It’s also been great to see you hone your artwork and writing over the years. Do you have a patreon or anything? I feel almost shameful the amount of entertainment you’ve provided me for free.

As for the patreon stuff, don't sweat it! I'm good! (Besides, I don't have anything set up.)
