Elder Kesha: "Sinni." she sighs "That boy is a distraction. Hmm, this might be just what she needs to get her mind focused properly. How old did you say your friend was?"

HIlgar: "Well we found him in a place from the oldest stories I've ever heard of. So maybe, as old as the world? Our old world, that is."

Elder Kesha: "Its decided then. If anything will keep her rightly fixated on stone its old stone. I'm tempted to visit myself, but the humidity down there is hell on these old joints. Let us go and inform Palla of the good news."

I think the only thing we can do is to tell them to finish up, they're out of time. And also that Palla's going to work with us, which means Sinni will be able to visit her unsupervised.

Well, no choice.

We will have to entertain the elders with stories of your people.
And also breaking your mouth curse. That'd be a neat party trick.

Oooh also, all this loving reminds me of something very important.

You gotta help me, Martha, you gotta help me deal with the Mainframe.
She's this weird lizardy-dragony-serpenty creature with wires coming out of her body and connecting her to all across the heavenly dome and precides over the passing of soul to and from meatspace, and she looks like this >>1102934 Martha. Can you see the mental image, Martha? Yes? No? Yes?

Anyways, she's mean, Martha. She doesn't let us do stuff like breaking your mouth curse with our dead ghost energy, or divulge secrets about the afterlife, like the evil soul-devouring lich at the center of Creation, or how ice-cream machines always break because they all die upon assembly and their souls end up there.

She hates me, Martha. She hates me because I meddle, but I only meddle because I love, Martha! I love this world, and I love her.
I love the Mainframe, Martha!

B. Your taxes are the first priority, so let's make progress on that, or at least take stock of what progress is left.
Then A. Something killed you, and it wasn't this thing because you put it outside before you died, BUT it's obviously related somehow to what happened. If something's trying to stop you from completing your taxes, you should try to figure out what it is so you have a better chance of defending yourself.

If you can't currently do anything important, then we can see about some D.

B) Okay Poppy, let's not check hammerspace until you figure out how to die in there without sealing yourself. Let Lune do it.

A and C.

C, a, b.

Taxes come first, because they're how we stay alive and happy. The thingy is weird and must be related to all this, so important to figure that out as a piece of the puzzle. The inventory situation is also probably related, especially to the thingy, given that that's where it first appeared, so I'd expect that to come up as a matter of course.

D is an incidental observation, which can be made at any point, but there's no point in dwelling on it right now.

Hmm. Alright, so there's a bunch of soldiers about and what looks like their leader. Considering you weren't chased, that crossbow bolt missing you wasn't actually aimed at you and was accidental, so we don't know if the soldiers are hostile or if they saw you.

Eavesdrop on the soldiers to see if you can get any idea as to what they're doing here, then go around and follow the path.

>they are people (or people-shaped things)

how can we determine if they are actually people (and not say souped-up mole-people)? Can we hear/understand what they are saying?

You spot two very conveniently positioned soldiers. At present, they’re seated facing you (approximately), but once you go around the camp and get close they’re pointed the exact opposite direction from you. They seem to be enjoying lunch. You seem to be arriving at the tail end of conversation.

“Regardless, I hope they sub us out soon.”
“What, you tired of galah and roo already? Our supplies can’t be too far off.”
“I suppose.”
“Look, I think we can get out of here. Nobody else wants to take that government guy down, so we’ll volunteer and then they’ll have to send us back home. Maybe the next well won’t be so bad.”

As the two ponder on what the next well (?) could possibly entail, another soldier blunders into camp, rushing straight past you without even realising.

He’s most certainly panicked, but delivers his message in an almost calm tone. “An Engelkind,” he says “has been spotted downstairs.”

The entire camp is on their feet with a weapon in every pair of hands in the blink of an eye. A great deal of commotion is burgeoning, soldiers are asking each other for the quartermaster, the pair that you eavesdropped on earlier are well and truly assimilated with the bubbling crowd.

There's that word 'Woland' again. Some sort of mercenary outfit? or a corporate interest?

Sounds like they have orders to find you so best to sneak away while they're distracted.

This ain't self defense anymore Gretchen, y'sure you can live with yourself if you kill him, all tied up like that? Besides, why go to the effort when these facts should do the trick; He can still be injured and still feel pain, so you could just smash all his bones and dump him down a well. Let him stew on that idea.

Give him Gretta's blood, then break his bones.

Eeeh, I'll take a gamble and vote for the police to handle this bozo, which we still have to make contact with, anyway.

Let's not forget to remind him that some of his crazy clown mask friends drank the blood and then died from things like blunt trauma and a chest full of buck shot after interrupting football time.

If he's still able to feel pain, and the injuries you've made aren't healing... How does this guy like the sound of eternal life after being drawn and quartered?

What happened to your clothes?

She should be careful she doesn't... Burn her tongue! Use your fire power.

> the wedding cake you've made out of my ass!

It is a rather amazing ass, but it might be good to remind Pillet that this is your body. You haven't done anything to her body, only your own.

Unless she thinks she owns your body? Which is valid~

>>1105253
Oh, right.

The husband!

We should tell Pesh that you have one of those, see if she has issue with that.

And of course, see if the husband issue with that. He's very precious to us. He's a crocodile with a baseball. We won't find a catch like that in another hundred thousand years.

Let's see if we can call him.

>>1105293
Yeah, let's tell poor Pillet we would never have been so careless in looks or wardrobe if you were controlling someone else's body, let alone your dear sister.
Feel very hurt if Pillet tells you not to call her sister. She'll feel it first hand now.

I'm inclined to go for it, opportunities for fun like this in your future might be a whole lot more limited. And what else is there to do while you wait for the train to arrive at it's destination?

I would mentally check with Pillet to make sure she's at least ok with this though. The only thing worse than having to let the twins down would be to have to stop suddenly because she's not okay with it.

>>1105332
>tell Pesh
We already told them. Said "my husband is a eunuch", even. Also Aelsaw had some internal thoughts about not being serious about the flirting, but finding it hard to resist doing it anyway, so it's hard to tell what she wants to do?

But like we said, we're in a hurry. We know this tech; boob honk unlocks cutscene skip. Grab Casey's chest.

Just leave

Inform him that the sequence of words he’s talking about includes the phrase “I’ve suddenly transformed myself into a woman! With a vagina!”

Before we part ways, I would ask two question of User:[DELVE], if it is not too imposing.

The first: Why would an Oss continue to exist without a user? What purpose does a chorus persue when there is no longer a singular will to be imposed upon? What schemes could possibly benefit the ossuary exclusively? If User:[DELVE]'s individual will is... Passed on, as you put it, wouldn't that render any agreement between the two of you irrelevant?

My second question is far more simple.

What do you, as User:[DELVE], gain from helping User:[GLAIVE]'s ossuary? Is this a debt repaid, or an act of altruism?

...

I am afraid of the answers we may or may not receive, fellow Chorus of DEZ. Perhaps that fear proves we haven't fully become monsters in this state.


I, too, vote to [RETURN].

Thank you [DELVE] for some explanation. You seem... more put together than a typical oss, but that could be due to your specific condition of knitting together into one approximation of Delve.
I would like to [RETURN] to user [DEZ] because she really needs us to be coherent right now, instead of scattered and jumping from osspop to osspop. I don't know how much of the two geists we lost to the Vitsplosion will be salvageable, but we absolutely need to warn Veil that he is up and at it again.
To [VEILGAOL]: Vittorio is getting up so we better move. User [DEZ] has friends outside that at least need to be notified of what's happening. Please have user [VEIL] take us to user [DELVE] for recuperation. It seems likely that she can move faster than a car.

The last thing we want is to waltz up to a car filled with Dez's well meaning friends with an angry necrotech with a low value of human life and a high need of daddy's approval on our tale. It took him a solid 5 seconds to resurrect this time. We need to get away from him before he can cause serious harm.

Dez, can you text your friends and tell them to stay away? Vittorio is resurrecting too fast, it'll be near impossible to keep them safe.

I'm sure the others have put it better, but I also want to thank you Delve. Also your vibe is cool, can't wait to hang sometime.

I want to hop back into [DEZ]. Encourage her to keep living... for the blog!!! (and also so we can get her better lipstick sometime. I'm not letting her forget that bc that other geist was absolutely correct)

surrep and the bat!!!

Bat and a beetle

B,C

We haven't seen any bats yet but the thralls. This will be a good opportunity to learn more about them and their position in the house.

And I'm kind of curious about the silk moth, too. The beetle won't be able to tell us anything while we're working, but it could be an in with the moth later.

So far, only Tem'rty, Lisel, and the Shale Ledge mice are part of the conspiracy, right? So the if there's been a leak, one of them would have to be the suspect. People knew we'd be going for coal, right? The shrews need it. It's probably not related to a leak, but we'd best stay frosty.

Is it possible to have a beetle and another beetle? I just find the idea of Tem'rty trying to have small talk with not one but two silent beetles hilarious.
Wishes aside, the bat and the beetle would be my vote.
We gotta take at least one beetle.

D2 If we don't know them well this mission will be a perfect option to change that. We need to learn what others can do, the bat is most likely a capable fighter and the beetle, honestly I don't know what the fuck is up with that bug. So my suggestion is to go with those you know nothing about so no bat and no beetle.

Brett listens at the door

Panting and moaning

Kimberly: "Oh Dean~"

Dean: "I loooove you Kimberly~"

They should be interrupted before being hunted down by any psycho killers… but how to do it without a party foul?

There is no way! Darn! Guess they’re doomed. Leave them be.

(edited

Brett gets an idea for a prank, and decides to sneak back downstairs to get Trish to plan for a prank on them.

scene change to inside the room

you see a shadow moving up and down.
Kimberly is saying something like: Yes Dean Yes! Just little more...
andthe camera pans over to the source of the shadow.
And we see...

Dean and Kimberly playing Field and Track on the Ninsixdo! they've been running in place on the Force Pad! Hence the panting and moaning. They're impressed at each other's aerobic movements and getting a high score. What else could they be doing?

Brett makes some yowly animal noise to prank them.
(Not enough to throw them off their game, thus setting up for later them getting murdered and Brett thinking the scream is just them still going at it.)

>>1105249
Strip field and track?
Nothing too risqué, but loser sheds an item of clothing. One or two items down.
Enough to keep the viewers watching between cans of red.
Theyre trying to put each other off with the loveydovey noises.

The prankening draws closer.
I like the idea of an animalistic yabbering and scrabbling in the hallway.
The prankster scritching claw and nail along the floor.

"Know where I can get a second job if things go bad?"

Yeah I guess since she brought it up ask were the grocery store is do you can restock your fridge after you get that set up and what’s to do around town for fun? Like are their bars, a movie theater, maybe a strip mall somewhere. Things like that.

>>1105138
grocery store, and just a general store. Need to know where to get cleaning supplies.

Ask if she wants to go sneak into the spooky forest with you tonight.

Is there a town doctor?

Heeheeherhee, you’re naked!!

Okay I’ll stop laughing, what I think you gotta do is get home without anyone seeing you

we heard somebody nearby while you were splashing around, and they are heading this way to investigate! Either get out of the water and run towards the shadow or hide behind those pipes near the wall,

or better yet, if you can hold your breath long enough, dive and hide underwater as long as you can, swim towards the shadows so you’re harder to see underwater, might be better to do that because if you get out to hide, you’ll leave a water trail on the floor leading to you, and then they,ll see your dick!

Are you okay? That whole sequence looked really painful. Who the fuck uses fishhooks to rip clothing? Not to mention you could have easily drowned from the shock of it all. That seemed way too dangerous for hazing.

Take a few minutes to recover before you go anywhere. The cock can wait until you're ready.

>>1105016
Looked like he teleported behind you, wrapped you in fishing line and hooks, then threw you into the sky so the hooks shredded your clothes.

Anyway, this is now a sneaking mission. Clothes are procure on site. Whoever's around here is likely to come looking, so hide by those pipes and... consider ambushing them to steal their clothes.

>>1105019

Well obviously there were some not immediately visible safety options. We don't actually know the tech level this organization operates at, nor do we care overly much.

Sounds like someone's coming. Should sink back down til just your face is out of the water so you can see who it is while still being able to sneak away.

Any airlocks nearby to lure it out of?

>>1104881
It dropped the sword. Use that to disable the artillery before it can fire.

>>1104889
Yes.
Pull it free and try to jam it in the control center.

Once you get that sword to its gun arm, rush between its legs to either strike its back, or book it.

Charge it and dive slide through legs.

Lieutenant Eric Taylor's Backstory

The big bullet points for Lt. Taylor are:

-Grew up under single father
-Enlisted in the UTR Marines
-First saw action when a vital Dwarven mining colony was attacked by Vidder insurgents (yes, those Vidder, I had asked Brom for permission to use them). This would lead into how there are disputed worlds in the UTR that may have been formally and politically ceded, but the locals did not care for it and took action.
-Taylor would meet Jacobe as his unit would join a task force for rooting out the insurgency
-Taylor's CO was the son of a major military contractor who got his rank via nepotism, and was also very racist towards Vidder
-The overall mission was a success, until Taylor's CO demanded he clear a local residental area
-The area would be full of civilians that had no part in the conflict, but the CO would demand their execution anyways
-Taylor, having a strong moral center, would refuse orders
-The CO would get enraged and try to force Taylor at gunpoint to kill the civilians
-Taylor would end up shooting his CO in the head, but not before the CO would blow off Taylor's right arm
-Taylor was set to be summarily executed if Jacobe had not recorded the whole incident
-In the end, Taylor and Jacobe would be dishonorably discharged and the incident would be swept under the rug
-Taylor would go nearly broke getting the cheapest cybernetic prosthetic so he could join a PMC and resume his military career outside the Marines
-He would eventually join Jacobe in a mission to run security for a small Gregorian-class science vessel called the UTR June

The rest, they say, is history.

Up next: Lt. Cmdr. Jacobe!

Feel free to comment and discuss!

Disappointed, but grateful for the sendoff. Thanks for running!

>-In the end, Taylor and Jacobe would be dishonorably discharged and the incident would be swept under the rug
I feel like it would be easier to sweep the incident under the rug with a regular discharge (or even honorable as bribe to keep their mouths shut about it).
Dishonorably discharging them (especially Jacobe) sounds actually petty rather than practical. (not to mention highly dishonorable in itself)

Taylor and Jacobe got the Big Green Weenie from their superiors. I wanted to show that even in the future, the armed forces can still be dicks, especially if it's motivated by the MIC.

Anyways! Decided to merge three characters into one update in order to be more efficient! Here we go! Wall of text ahoy!

Lieutenant Commander Robert Jacobe's backstory bullet points

-Son of military kid, aspired to be a soldier for the United Terran Republic, got his wish after high school.
-Skilled with firearms as a result of extra training with his dad
-Married Rose, his high school sweetheart (was going to ask LonelyWorld if I could use Rose from Pinkskin Quest, but forgot)
-Served a tour with Taylor, similar service history right until Taylor's incident with his superior officer
-After being discharged, a friend recommended him to the PMC he would join later (that we would discover has notoriously low standards and is shoddy as hell)

Unless any of those books have any practical aplications right this moment, leave them. It's not them these creatures are after.

Follow down the tunnel and close the passage behind you. If anyone still alive knows about it they'll be able to open it.
