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.

That makes sense

I was speculating that maybe we should let her know we technically didn't beat Ramming Rage, but rather, he did it to himself? But then again, she does have high respect for us, so I guess with that, we'll just not say anything and let her believe what she wants.

Hey now, she said only a couple questions, that’s one more than a couple. No offense, but that is something we need from people who work with us: honesty. If we are not on the same page with things, it can be detrimental. Not that we don’t want to answer her question, more that we need to to make sure she is true to her word so that in a dire situation, we have trust in each others words

No. 1105990 ID: 6c233e

see Abdle? The more of the world you rule, the more freaks who don't respect boundaries you have to deal with. Not worth it.

No to the hair, she'll probably make a voodoo doll from it. or just stab you anyway.

Now there is something you can try, if she attacks you. I would have liked to test it, but there is no time. Since your curse makes it so your attack goes through the enemy, if you attack their hand while they attack you, both hands should pass through each other. Thereby negating their attack. Just need to grab the sharpest thing nearby, even if its just a comb.
>>
No. 1105998 ID: c5529d

Ultimately, just comply, but I still would like to hear why she needs it first, but we'll have a spy rat keep an eye on her and see what she does with the hair, especially if she doesn't tell us why. It's just hair

If she can make a clone out of our hair, hey! we have a body double!

Should be fine since we are cutting some ourself. Like I said, it’s just hair, just give her some to appease her, but tell her to drop the knife on the floor first before you grab it, and let her know we are going to expect something big in return in the future, like a favor for example, no questions asked and without refusing, can’t do this for free after all, otherwise you’ll get walked all over.

A) Pick which dream you want to visit.

B) Choose not to visit any of them.
>>
No. 1106293 ID: c47c9a

Something is not right with that sheep lady, so I vote we visit the new heart that we got.
>>
No. 1106294 ID: 6d5273

lets see

Conjoined heart, the kids fans

Oozing heart, Maya Din

Misaligned heart, the Executioner

Companion heart, Worm Works

Lucid Heart: Jestercutioneralist

Cheating Heart: Leaf Leader

Wounded Heart: Nasty Shit

Bewildering Heart: Sealer Healer


I thought we got archer's heart, but I guess we didn't. Things would have been easier if we got Gram's heart so we can figure out where the goblin got kidnapped, and details on the cat's plan, but alas.

I can't decide choosing either Wounded Heart (Nasty Shit) to learn more about her, and since she was with the crow last, we can find out what she learned from the crow. improving our friendship I feel is most important if we want to stay in good relationships with the Headsplitters, and if she ever becomes leader, we'd have pretty powerful allies

Lucid heart (Jestercutioneralist), just out of curiosity seeing as we'd be traveling into the dream of a dream guy, plus would be interesting to see what power abdle can get from that visit, maybe something psychological.

or the misaligned heart (the executioner) just because this guy seems one of the more interesting guys. Considering this guy knows a lot about death since he's an executioner, we might get some insight considering we have someone disguising as death for the meeting.

I'll see what the others pick before I make my final decision, but right now leaning towards Nasty poopy.

>>
No. 1106380 ID: 6d5273

Can't be dream logic, how we looked in wormwork's dream was how he envisioned us, so the same has to be true here.

Well, what if Wounded Heart didn't represent Nasty, but somebody else, and we're not in her dream, but theirs?

I can't imagine who though, we got notified that we got the wounded heart around the time we chose to go with Nasty and took the druid's potion. not many who was present at the meeting knew of your past, unless they visited your kingdom when you were a kid. Only one I can think of is Heartbeat and he visited your kingdom when you were younger for some reason. can't be wormworks as his heart was different.

Tell him Heartbeat knows who he is, and fears and respects him, and yet, despite being an embodiment of nature, Heartbeat still continues to hunt him even if he's invincible, as he has something certain humans like him have: courage. Courage is doing something regardless of the fear you feel.

and if Heartbeat is a human that he as the deer-like embodiment of nature has struggled to take down multiple times and even run from from during his hunts, it seems like even he fears and respects humanity just as much as he fears and respects nature.

Tell her you did that to get a gauge of her mental state, and see if you could train her to become mentally stronger if needed so she can prepare for the adversities she will have to overcome in the future. You see her as a potentially strong ally in the future, and she has the physical strength for it, but you just wanted to try to help her become stronger in mind to overcome the difficulties that is weighing her down, and feel she is on the right track seeing as this is the first time she overcame her nightmare.
