Early autumn is pleasant in Cedar Ridge. Summer's hottest days are behind you and the shade of the Douglas fir trees that blanket the town keep the underbrush cool. North of the lake that divides the town are sets of woods. Interrupted only by mud roads and storm drains that rarely see use outside of the rainy season. This grove is only a mile from the town's one high school. Frequented by teens and alcoholics alike for bonfire parties that leaves the smell of ash in the air. This far east into Oregon the breeze is warm and sluggish, trapped in by mountain ranges. From where you stand you can hear when the occasional truck passes through Cedar Ridge's main road. Barely. It helps you keep your facing when you're unsure which way is home. You are in the north in the outskirts of town.
>>1105771 On the plus side, you have the BEST excuse ever.
You try to leave, maybe they're still waiting for you, but Nathan holds you back with his sweaty hand. You smack it away before he can grab you again. "I'll let you and your friend go, if you promise me you didn't touch anything." He's still mad about the arm as if there isn't a ghost hanging out over here. "I'm serious Riley." All things considered it's a kind offer from a guy whose nuts you kicked. Bright car lights sting your eyes, looks like company's on the way. Better to get out of here before more losers show up.
>>1105774 Yeah you totally promise you didn't poke the arm.

Pinky promise! Wait, do you have pinkies?

There will be one final update as an epilogue.
>>1105782 >Slightly angry? It's hard to pin down why that could be. It's a violation of the cycle of life and death, plus permanence and possibly fate, though you'd think fate would take resurrection into consideration... resurrection could be seen as generally unnatural. >>1105784 Don't take the box out again until it's absolutely necessary. >>1105785 >did you all ‘turn’ me into a bard? It seems more like we chose various things and then were sent to a world that matched those choices, but if you don't feel like you were a bard before, that means your mind/soul got transferred into this world. Interesting that we didn't just get the version of you that was always a bard... I wonder if that version died when the box was taken from her? Like a consequence of failing the task? But I'm not sure this line of questioning will lead anywhere useful for us. Is the existential crisis worth dwelling on it? >It was like time passed without me realizing.

Oh god it's Tengwar. Elvish, from Lord of the Rings. This will take some time, I've never tried to read this before.
...moons? But there were f-... ...you know what? Itll keep. Im not disturbing such well earned rest. Especially when youre so damn adorable curled up like that. Whole new world out there slinky. Dream of open spaces, gentle breezes and sweet song. (Thank you. Its been brilliant and so were you. Hell of a good time.)

Jess the fox and Henry the wolf navigate their marriage and friendships. Updates every other day. Discussion thread: https://questden.org/kusaba/questdis/res/135483.html NSFW, contains BDSM and casual bigotry
Jess chews and swallows. “I mean, I was trying to get you excited because I like getting my husband hot and bothered, but I’m also eating a really good sandwich, dude. It’s not on the same level as the stuff we were doing before that made me upset.” Henry glares at her. There’ve been an increasing number of these looks in the past few months and Jess isn’t sure she likes it anymore. “I don’t know if I trust you.” “Okay. Do you wanna talk about it?” she offers. “Yeah, actually. Would you or would you not be on T if you didn’t have to worry about keeping me happy?” She doesn’t have to think long to answer this one. “On T, yeah. Muscles are cool.” Henry points accusatorily like he’s caught her in some groundbreaking lie. “So therefore by staying with me you’re doing something you’re not comfortable with for my benefit! Your feminine body causes you some degree of dysphoria.”
“Don’t overthink it Henry, it’s the same thing where I have the free will to make sacrifices for a greater reward. Eat sandwich messy to tease husband, don’t take T to stay with very nice and awesome husband.” Jess explains. She sneaks another bite of the sandwich because she did a great job on it, honestly. “Yuh can geh sedu’ed or yuh can tell muh ta stop ‘f yuh don like it.” she offers. >Henry choice check (2/3 in favor of seduced because of previous HATE SEX choice): Failure Henry hesitates, eyes darting to her messy chest. He frowns and shakes his head. “I don’t like it.” “Then I won’t do it.” “Great.” “Cool.” Well that was an abysmal failure. Jess grabs a paper napkin to dab at her fur and proceeds to eat her sandwich normally. She’s not sure what to do next.
Time to hit the Earth's natural bath. Go for a dip in the ocean. Will your fur paint last in the water?
Maybe try to keep the conversation going before trying any more horny shenanigans. Tell him that you aren't resentful of the fact that you aren't on testosterone for his sake. If it was a sticking point you really couldn't get past, then you would end things there and do it. It's a trade-off, like getting up a bit earlier to make a nice breakfast before work or paying more to have food delivered so that you don't have to drive and get it. You understand why he doesn't trust you though, because for a long time you thought the same about your gender identity. You thought you'd be okay with presenting as a woman, and you were for a while, but over time it ended up eating at you more than you expected. And no, you can't promise that will never happen with testosterone. Maybe a year from now, you'll want it more than you could have ever expected. You want to share a life with Henry though, and that's a deal-breaker for him. He's made a pretty strong commitment himself already, considering the missing digit. If you can promise anything, it's that you won't spring it on him, the way you did with your transition. If it starts to eat at you, you'll talk to him about it, and you'll try to find alternatives that'll soothe the desire.
You know, I wasn't like... Quietly Suffering back then, right? Like I wasn't pretending to be happy with you, I actually was- and am. If things aren't ideal then I just find a way to make them fun. It's just... It became so much at once that it became frustrating. Stressful. Un-fun. That's why I came clean when I did. I didn't want to pretend. I knew that would end up sucking for both of us. That said I don't mind compromising on some things... Even if I'm left with a couple holes in my soul, I'm confident in your ability to fill them.

The fae have no shortage of tricks, huh..
>>1105734 I mean, Nixxy would probably be willing to surrogate, too. I'm not sure what the significance of a fae intentionally losing a game they staked their autonomy on is, but it's probably pretty close to a declaration of devotion. Also she knew Kol for maybe an hour before she did that. She's very fortunate that he was the right person for her.
“Wait, can you actually do that?” Kol asks. The selkie snatches the bottle back and takes a long sip while maintaining eye contact. Despite knowing that Caleb is messing with him, its still hard to tell if he’s really joking. “Never assume you know all of a fae’s tricks, eh?” He says to himself.
“Soooo, does this mean you’ll be moving in with us?” Gabe asks, “Or is, like, Kol moving out?” “Somehow I don’t think boat life would fit in with your busy schedule, but I wouldn’t mind setting up a bunk at your place.” The selkie shrugs. “I’ll need to take the Sea Scar out if I wanna keep bringing in fish. I got people in town that count on my catches.” “Makes sense. Nixxy and Fennel are also pretty busy these days with firefighting. Plenty of people coming and going at our place.” Casey shrugs. “Heh, that’s for sure.“ Gabe snorts. The binder sighs and her mouth twists into a sour expression. “Should have seen that one coming- you know what never mind.” Casey shakes her head. “We are definitely going to need a bigger bathroom at this rate. “
>bathroom Oh yeah... Good idea to ask Delilah who her guy was. Her contractor, Gabe. Nemo remembers her. At least, he looked like he had somebody's ass on his mind.
You go by Vex. You are an ARMS DEALER by trade and you've been at this for a couple of years now. At the moment, you're having a smoke to try and calm down the adrenaline rush from almost (successfully) being SET UP. R18. nsfw/gore/body horror potential. heavy themes including self harm may be explored (but not explicitly). Toxic Yuri Guaranteed.
Well if they wanted to kill you, its a deserted street so they would have tried already. Walk around a corner and wait for them to catch up. Get this confrontation over with so you can get back in where its warm.
You figure that if they were here to kill you they would've made the jump by now. Rounding the corner into the closest alley, you wait, your senses strained to hear muffled footsteps approach at an even, patient pace. You almost want to yell at them to hurry it up. Eventually, a figure comes into view, a taller, slightly lankier wolf in jorts and a rolled up button up that's just barely doing its job. He stops once he sees you in the corner of his eye, paws pivoting as he turns to face you. You don't see.. full recognition in his eyes... but he seems to know something. You frown under the mask, it's unmistakable that this is one of the Bites. But how would he know of you or even to follow... "Hey," he drawls out, voice surprisingly young, almost teenage-like, "You got a smoke?" You blink at him. He slouches as he stares at you with an odd air. He couldn't have seen you at the party. They would've barred him from entry. A coincidence? Couldn't be... The gears turn. You realize you're taking too long to respond, the fatigue starting to catch up. You shrug your shoulders, feeling the weight of Eiko's gun from the pull of your jacket, trying to figure his angle, "Yeah, here." You reach into your pocket for the smokes.
A claw lashes through the air. You backstep quickly, the wild swipe missing your chest but tears at your jacket, fabric straining then ribboning. A heavy ring shatters the air from Eiko's gun landing and skidding, your inventory cards flying out after and scattering across the alley floor. Your blood runs hot at the sight. Murderous. The wolf reels back, quickly creating distance. "Whew, real fast cat," his head turns this way and that at the floor in confusion, "The fuck, did you rob a casino?" You don't respond, stancing up, your fists tight as you hold them up in a boxer's stance. He takes another step back, eyes narrowing at the gun then back to you, "That's one of ours," his ears fold back with a snarl, "What else did you take?" You grit your teeth, "What's your goddamn problem?"
Dooodge!
He shifts his weight, "You smell like a wolf, but you ain't a wolf. And I've never seen you around before. You get me?" A real shoot first asshole here. You almost laugh. "You ever heard of friends?" His arm stretches out, cutting off the exit, "You're no friend of mine. Give me what you got." Your knife sheathed to your left arm waits for your hand. The spell cards in your left side are also untouched. Eiko's gun's across the floor. The only card face up is the ring. What do you aim for?
E N O U G H.
I understand the importance of wariness. I know that I have foes to watch for, even assassins. But dinner parties and hosting guests -- these are things expected regularly of nobility such as myself. At the least, wait until we have been given reason to be suspicious. This man has been vouched for by Lady Mondegreen, verified by my own passing questions about her (which you insisted I test!), and warned only as generous and talkative to a fault. If this is not enough to put me at ease, what will be? Wariness is one thing, but I simply will not survive jumping at every shadow. If I cannot sit calmly through a single dinner with a single puffy, loud old man, then my future rule will be difficult indeed. These two have not yet given me anything but assurances of trust. I would not trust him with my life, but surely we can save our fears for when we have been given reason, not merely when an old woman helps her companion to some currants.
Well, ok then. Does it spark any memories though? It looks like the kind of thing youd have reached for as a child if being held while it was worn. Oh, if he comments on or reacts to you psychotically staring into space for a moment, you may have to partly explain the orb and the shards. So you dont look like a nutter.
>>1105769 Right. (I forgot we asked Mondegreen about him, so that would mean we're in the clear) So, do you remember it? And do we have anything to give in return? Such a gift cannot be accepted without *something* in exchange, even if it's relatively minor.

Oragatt would like to punish her insolence, but she can be patient, more pressing matters need to be attended to. The Armorer glares at Baphora 'How fares the giant in your care, denmother?' the foreman is nonplussed 'Come and see' Oragatt is taken down a hall into a silo near to the surface. the giant Herocea is here. A goblin addresses the armorer. Welcome honored guest! we've been taking good care of Cea here, and she's been helping us a whole lot too... even more if we manage to expand some tunnels 'Who is this?' Oragatt questions of the small gnat speaking to her 'Kreblin, our local smith.'Baphora sates 'I hear you're a bit of a smith yourself' Kreblin adds Oragatt ignores the annoying creature and turns to the giant.

Buh, weh, ge- If we knew which one you were this would all be over already! I mean you're probably the rabbit, sorry I forgot your name, but its not like you'll let me go if I'm right.

Possible answers to the question that was asked: A) No, I never feel like that. B) I do sometimes. C) Always. D) Other suggestions.
That seems to be Bobbie's usual state. At least, when Abdle's not there. Not many can relate to her situation, and being a ruler is isolating on top of that.
C) definitely C).
Clark IV, a world under fire. The Interstellar Transit Authority currently holds the planet under martial law. The planet has seen a turbulent past century, guerilla fighters have been holding it hard and there has been no progress in taking hold. Mercenary companies have been brought in to step in as a force multiplier, but they are beholden to no one but whoever pays the most. Corporate entities have also begun to set their eyes on the planet below. It is hell.
That's a dangerous amount of unpredictability, especially if it can react to idle thoughts or ideas you're considering.
You ponder the power in this machine, so lightweight and yet so strong. You are starting to think it's a good thing you took it from the Monarchy. Still, you're still in command of this thing, what next?
>>1105722 Think about moonwalking... ok hear me out: >You think about one of the mechs being destroyed... and the machine tosses the rifle aside, and proceeds to rip the head unit right off of the damn thing. It seems to function off of your thoughts, and with "specific" thinking, it interprets your thoughts in its own way, and becomes unpredictable.
How about this; think about the next bot being destroyed by melee, but then think about not doing that after your mech starts moving. See how quickly it can cancel out of an objective.
>>1105731 Good idea, combat situation can evolve very fast.

>>1105741 1: trust Landi to do that much. 2: find them, and take Ellie along.
1) I'm sure that will sort itself out 2) Ellie needs to show you where they are or this will take all night.
1. Leave the panties to Landis! It rhymes so it must be correct! 2. Bring Ellie to look for her undies. Does she even know where she put them though? Still, can’t leave her alone for too long, cuz bodyguard work!
1: That's a concern for sober Ellie, whose dignity is not your priority. You're only tasked with keeping her safe for the party, she's on her own afterwards. Besides, with all of Rocio's undies around the place, even if someone else finds hers they'll probably just get lumped in with them. 2: This should hopefully be easy enough. Go seek them out with Ellie.
>>1105741 1. For some reason i think landi has a talent for finding and acquiring panties. Shes got this. 2. They need to be found. See if you can convince her to use her fading but still present foxy senses to help hunt her discarded items. Mainly so you can keep an eye on her. See ifbyou can get her to give everyone a little goodbye "awoo". I know, foxes arent howlers, but itd be adorable and who knows what the fox really says?

Well being a leader does mean dealing with team drama… so grab your flocklet in a hug, sit down in a comfortable position and hope to god whatever revelations she gives you are less heavy than that of a shapeless lord.
Some perspective from the mistakes of individuals with less responsibilities might help frame what you learned.
>>1102635 Admittedly, she seems to still be trapped. I think Vi.al sent her away because he couldn't prove that she didn't have directives with her lord still alive. Either he's learned from this or it tells you more about the kind of lord he is to other Shapeless than his own with what he said. As for Li.ni.si, ask her to go slow with it, don't see why breaking down over it would be a bad thing right now, this is the time to rest. But also that doesn't mean she will get answers. I think you are going to want to grab her and put her somewhere first, however.

We have something on the order of a week until this possible patron for my dungeon arrives for his tour, but we're making steady progress. https://questden.org/wiki/Dungeoneer
>Can they all be trusted to share a room? If alternate living arrangements are going to be needed, set them up in the hidden valley, but separation should be a temporary solution only. >That said, your concerns about cohesion are valid do need to be addressed. In the short term, her minions/kids/troops are going to play favorites soon. "You need to get used to sharing too." I say. "The slime lair is only three quarters the size I intended it to be due to digging into that pocket of Green Thumb spores. Even full sized, it will be inadequate for the number of slimes you'll be producing. You also need to know how your slimes will act in an emergency. Who are they going to listen to?" My trio of royal jellies exchange uneasy glances at this new information. >What are her plans for having three bodies? Will they all fight as one for more power in battle, or will they rotate for each dungeon run? You should lean towards starting with the former, and help them grow together. "Next there's three of you, and you'll have to think how that's going to work in this dungeon. "My Resurrection Matrix will only work on the final queen slime. Any others will have to be budded off by a surviving queen. This will mean reduction in slime creation until those budded queens regrow to their old forms. Stored eggs would help cover this gap. You in particular will be affected, Alka, as your slime mass would be lost. Delegating Gluttonous Goo to other slimes might help address this." The three Alkalines huddle and express the opinion in that case either just one of them should fight, or all three. That'll avoid confusion hopefully, and at some point they need to find out what it's like to come back from their weakest possible starting point. Alka says that� Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
Alka’s got a lot of slime for refilling the pool, and Kali’s suited for final boss fighting, so that leaves Linea in the slime pit itself. Hm, no, have Alka delegate to Linea for pool refilling. She’ll be the first one to face the party, instead.
>>1105718 >I didn't bring it up right now, because I didn't want to sour this moment but I do also still need to punish her for being a participant in bullying Doyle into providing supplies for illicit potion parties. Three times the Alkalines, three times the punishments. After the tour, but let them know it WILL be coming. Might force them to choose their roles with this knowledge.
>>1105718 One thing you haven't brought up to them yet... Do they want to be treated as separate individuals, or as a collective Alkaline with separate sections?
>Have all three fight >…in separate encounters That’s basically having them fight one at a time in rapid succession. Hm, is it practical to have them try and pull back to the next queen when they’re routed? Sounds like expanding the slime cave in a different direction is a priority. Throw it on the pile, I guess. The pool does give extra room for a larger minion to fight in until it’s refilled.

I'm technically not home right now so this is more of a mental entry. My class all went on a trip to the Aelor homeland and uh... We got all split up. A few of us made our way to a seemingly abandoned city and we found Tessa in a well. We also found a giant mysterious monolith! That was guarded by a dragon. Oh and that dragon is now staring at me.

Well I suppose the apology can be something like "I didn't have any choice. Now I do, and I choose you." Start by asking to be let down, before the confrontation starts.

Isen doesnt move, he doesn't dare to, unsure of what he's afraid of more. "I-Isen...?" She asks quietly, her voice gentle yet full of terror "S-Skye... I c-cant believe you're okay...!" Isen's voice shifts, joyous yet still just as nervous, Skye's expression softening as she calms, "What... What happened to you, Isen..?" He pauses, thinking for a moment on how to answer such a sensitive question... "I... I died, I don't know what happened after, but I just know I died and woke up in the dark..."

Hmm... Whatever you end up deciding to do, it needs to be done to the one on the left first. She's *probably* just a huntress who specializes in either the javelin or the sling, given her uneven musculature. If that's the case she's the less dangerous one. HOWEVER! Any female Gormoamhi wearing teeth or bones *could* be a "woman magic" user. Even though the chances of that are low, the threat of one is so great no chances should be taken.

>>1105685 "As rupaglakas posi mosi"
You followed a distant sound of bells to find your way here through freezing fog. That mist is gone, and the path with it. The "mayor's" face is porcelain. Limbs, elegant clockwork. "Town square" is bare stone around a pillar of orichalcum-edged jade, seven yards high and two or three thick. Little else but the border of churning primordial chaos, a hundred yards away in every direction but down. Beside the sacred monument, stairs - presumably to some cellar or storm shelter - and a granite lectern holding a closed folio. Purple leather, fitted with brass. No visible title.
Seven-segment door rings like a bell. There's definitely open space behind it. People, too, whispering in a language you don't recognize... or possibly the yapping of small dogs.
>>1104585 "Well, the second time is the charm." She will say in her native tongue before grabbing the tops of the door in order to brace herself. She swings up as wide as possible before launching a bright golden kick straight up through the door, aiming to make a hole big enough for herself. Mechanically: Full Excellency Iron Fist Sledgehammer Punch kick with the Fierce Blow called shot. 16+2+3+ stunt dice with a -1 external penalty for +12L damage ×2

There's a shriek as layers of corroded metal scrape past each other. Flying kick carries you straight through the space where the door was a moment earlier, over the heads of half a dozen racoon-sized humanoids in what looks like lamellar armor. One of them has climbed partway up the wall and is fiddling with some recessed mechanism, the other five have spears ready.
Lamentations follows the giant woman down the step after telling her companion to stay up and not wander off, the basement might not be clear of danger but unlikely to be worst than the surroundings. Before the band of little people can start a brawl, still with her arms folded in front of her and bending forward, Lamentations ask them in Old Realm "Are you all sure you want to start a fight with that one? She looks like she's gonna do to you the same as the door and you've half way figured it out. Would be a shame if it took a couple of you to get to the rest of the way there."
A Quest about Being out of Place Reality shudders, stutters, skips and where nothing had been, there are now two Agents.
Hold on a sec... The broken headlight shards were right in front of his car where they should be... But this all happened days ago? Has this guy not gone home at all? Even if he parks in the same spot every day, it would be weird to get it perfect on the done like that. Weirder still that the debris hasn't been agitated at all in the days since despite being a public space. Ask if he's gone home at all since then. Beyond that, sounds like the girl got pepper sprayed, so acquire eye protection before heading down. Ask Gladii if she can break into the sheriff's trunk. A shotgun would be nice. Don't forget to check out the bathroom before diving down the spooky hole.
Uh... what's that on David's shirt? That wasn't there before...

Uhhhh punch him in the targeting reticle, enough to knock him over?? Both hindering a possible threat and moving him out of the way of a possible attack. Maybe shout "GET DOWN" at the same time, for a head start on why you punched him.
...And or follow up with "April Fools!"

It’s been so long since I’ve been with trustworthy people I can depend on. I thank you all, let’s do this.
Tell Dotti she needs to hide her anger for now. If we are to fight, it needs to be a surprise, because we can't win a head-on battle.
"I've spent a long time pretending to be better than everyone else. It was wrong. They were wrong, and they're going to destroy so much just to prove themselves right. It's time to bring them to justice."
"I couldn't ask for a better team. We can do this. We will do this!"
"Just in case anything happens i want you all to know that i shall always regard you as... people... i met." Then give it a couple of seconds for them to read the expression on your face. They'll know what they realy mean to you ...and the joke may break the tension. Humour. Great for morale.

If they're going to hang out on your back you should name them Kazooie
>>1105653 Seconded. Let's head back to Galena. See if we can feed the voidling some stuff from the museum to create new runes, like gathering and feeding some of the dust from the rusted sword might get us a Corrosion rune?
Nightweaver! And look around for any rare species of Voidling to tame. You never know.
Zilch!
>>1105653 Thirded. For reasons we cannot ever truly explain silv, the name Kazooie is one that brings good omens. There is power and benign symbology within it and it posesses an esoteric significance hailing as it does from worlds distant and strange.
