>"Yes."

I mean, we /are/ Christian-ish. We know for a fact there's a heaven waiting, hell, we've been there. Death is hardly the worst thing that could happen. Damnation, on the otherhand, would suck real real bad.

Oh sweet, here we go, Sibella Quest!
Been a while!

QG, have you seen some of the recent art drawn of Sibella?

Considering the nature of our line of work, I think we'd be willing, giving our love for her. The risks are always open.

That said, the obvious question to this is why is she asking?

And guess what buddies, here is the list as always, WITH ACHIEVEMENTS!

The date is rather saddening to look at but, you get the idea.

Mechagirl Pitfighter when? We need to face that music at some point.

>>711316
>"Yes, I love you."
>Pull her closer.

Real quick before we really start

I've been holding onto an Abby lewd for almost 2 months

http://pastebin.com/xjMt54bG

and the first, non lewd part in case you forgot

http://pastebin.com/r7TA0Gui

>>711374
...Yeah, that's a good point, why is she asking this?

>>711316
"yes, but one-one's going to die, not you,not me, and not your bat, while I'm in charge"

>>711405
We aren't in charge.
But I like the basic thing, here - maybe instead say "while I'm around"?

>>711316
>it's my job to be willing to die

>>711415
we kicked our boss's ass, we're in charge

>>711425
Yeah but do remember that we actually feel quite bad about it. I mean, it's more or less confirmed that Nayara likes us. She's mothering us.

>>711425
But that wasn't for leadership, was it?

>>711419
that's quite true.
Child-Soldier of God and all that. Even in death, we might be made to serve in another hunter's e-tool.

>>711431
Assuming Anon knows what being mothered is like.

>>711440
He doesn't, and that's what makes it adorable.

>>711439
it was for personal capability, but she's a beast person and they establish dominance through fighting. And we fought and we won

......

"Yes. Death doesn't frighten me. I know what lies beyond. But I couldn't meet my reward knowing I failed to protect you in any way."

A pensive darkening passes over her face. You scoot over and pull her close in response. "Sibella, I love you."

"Don't!" She gasps and pulls away.

"Sibella, what's wrong? And what's behind this question really?"

"Whats wrong is I'm starting to feel like my father and I hate it."

She pulls her legs close against herself. She seems to be almost trembling with emotion. You've never seen her this vulnerable, this scared.

"You invited me into your life and I'm ruining it. That's what my family does." She turns her head away from you. "People invite us in and then we...you know. And me saying I'm sorry, me constantly apologizing for keeping these secrets, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't make it right. My god. You were almost killed by an electronic ghost-vampire monster. That happened because of ME and MY business. What are you doing here anyway vampire hunter? Don't you know we're dangerous people?"

SAY? DO?

>>711445
And sad.

>Naraya trying to get Anon something nice

This is all I have for now, if anyone wants to chime in with their two cents.

I thought her dad was getting nicer?

Anyway, can we say we'd do the same for Benny, the Padre, Abby, etc?
And maybe also throw in some reassurance that, given what we've seen of her, she isn't evil or cruel or anything like that which she seems to fear?

She can't really blame herself for what's going on - the world can be a dangerous place, after all.
...Am I expressing myself well here?
Feels like I'm mostly rambling.

>>711515
Everyone is dangerous. Everyone can hurt anybody else.
Sometimes people you trust will hurt you unintentionally. Or on purpose.
But, more often than not, I like to think people choose not to hurt others.

And that's what makes most things possible, regardless of how dangerous people are, I choose to believe most are good people.
And avoid harm where they can.
That goes for ghosts, werewolves, and most vampires too.

Besides, danger is sort of part of my job description isn't it?

"What am I doing here? I am trying to comfort my girlfriend no matter how dangerous she thinks she is. Sibella, look at me..." You take her hands up in yours. "You know why I'm here...or at least, why I WAS here. But well, that's changed. I know vampires CAN be dangerous. If there's anything I know its vampires ruining my life, and that isn't what you're doing...look, do you want to talk about it? You say you're afraid of becoming like your dad, but your dad's been pretty chill sense WW2."

"It doesn't change what he did. It doesn't change Mina Harker. She was his first real love, the first person to make him feel...like I feel about you now..."

"You're saying I'm a demure Victorian woman?" You try to add some humor to the conversation.

"I'm saying when he met the first person he loved he wanted to enslave her. To control her."

"You aren't enslaving me."

"Am I? Everything I've asked you to do you do. Every secret I've asked you to kept you've kept. And...and you would die for me...I...I don't want you to be my Renfield..."

"I'd die for any of my friends-Father Costilla, Abby, Benny, Nayara-"

"....You know there's this interesting theory one of my brothers has. He's a big history and culture guy. You saw him the other night, the one that looks like a walking thrift store? That was him. Well, his idea is that the cultural idea of a "vampire" has existed way before we were actually created. All around the world communities have this idea of an outsider that infiltrates the community and ruins it. Its how they would apply a face to stuff like disease or an untimely death or bad crops. If you lived in the Mid-East you'd blame the jinn. If you lived in ancient Greece you'd blame the manes. If you lived in Japan you'd blame foxes. So then we show up. A bunch of Italian Renaissance alchemists get together and say "man is the measure of all things. So lets make a man made of all men, lets make the perfect man". And they make these test-tube messiahs. They'd carry the blood of all races, all nations. They'd live forever. They'd learn everything there is to know and become philosopher kings. They'd be like little Christs-"This is my body, this is my blood" and all that. Of course we know what the Church thought about this blasphemy. And all that hunting just encouraged us to feed in secret. It turned what was meant to be a sacred rite into breaking into houses and biting necks. But my brother's idea is that in addition we had the cultural script of the "supernatural outsider" influencing us and the communities around us. We thought of ourselves as predators, people thought of us as predators. We brought folklore to life basically. Now isn't that a comforting thought? That there's nothing wrong with us vampires. Its just culture. People like my brother Lucan think that we can redeem our race, that we can be the super-humans the ancient alchemists believed us to be. But I know the truth."

>>711921
I have a couple ideas...

>>711921
I mean, really it seems that we actually do need to push more, and be our own anon.

In reality, I don't quite know the answer, we're going to have to wait and see first. But it does seem like Nayara was right. Seems like we have been far too delicate.

>>711840
'I've lived with vampires. I AM a vampire. I can't help but know the truth. The truth is that we are predators, and I don't mean in a badass sort of way. You see a lot of vampires like Revanna talk us up as these alpha-creatures, sexually and socially dominant. But that's bullshit. We're leeches. We're mosquitos. Sometimes you get a prideful vampire say something like "humans are our cattle!" but that's a lie. We depend on humans. We need you guys. And you don't need us in return. And I'm not talking about the blood thing. I'm talking about you guys giving us a purpose. We wouldn't have a reason to live without humans. We're obsessed with how they see us and whether they want to worship us or hunt us. Werewolves find their purpose in the pack but we find purpose in humanity. We keep creating images of ourselves for people. You think Lucan wears that mask for us? You think Revanna is a rock star for vampires? We keep comparing ourselves to you, wondering if we're sub-human or super-human. We keep trying...not so much to fit into human society as control it or manipulate it or push it as far away from us as we can. You know how predators hunt? Winnie told me one time. They don't chase down prey. They wait just a little ways off. Just enough to see the prey. That's where vampire are. Just a little ways off from people. And they watch. And they wait. And they find a way into the center-a weakling in the herd. We do that. We recruit outcasts and misfits and people into this gothic medieval alpha-class image we created. Its in our nature to target the trusting, and the good, and the big hearted idiots that...that..." Sibella sniffs. "...That are just so damn trusting, and nice, and make you feel so good to be around..."

SAY? DO?

>>711963
Say that we don't think she is a leech, talk about all the things vampires have given back, talk about how she gives us purpose.

That's all a really interesting take on vampires, by the way.

>>711963
>Its in our nature to target the trusting, and the good, and the big hearted idiots that...that..." Sibella sniffs. "...That are just so damn trusting, and nice, and make you feel so good to be around..."
Am I reading too far into this or was it Sibella's original intent to "target" us?

>>711963
So, she has issues with being a vampire and think she isn't worthy?

>>711963
>Hug her, even if she doesn't want to be hugged.
>"Sibella, I've spent my whole life fighting. Back in my room, there's a chest, full of vampire fangs that Costilla has had me collect from every vampire I've put down. I'm not proud of it. I don't like it. It's something I do because he asks me to do it. An acquired cruelty, just like your politicking and manipulations and lies."
>"Everyone has parts of themselves they don't like. Of their people, their history. And it's okay. I'm here, for you, because I want to be. Because I know that you love me back."

>>712031
That would definitely be an interesting possibility.

>>712032
Pretty much.
She's been, by her admission, all take and not a lot of give in this relationship.

>>711963
I'm not sure there is much more that I can add. But I feel like asking what she might want from us, and also asking if she talks about this with anyone else. Because I feel like that's kind of a big point.

>>711963
"What I'm hearing is vampires are eternally clique-y highschool kids convinced they're special and artistic regardless of capacity and read way too much Ayn Rand."
"Is that what you are trying to say?"
>Tease/Hassle
"If you were asking me things I considered unreasonable I'd buck it."
"I don't want you to come to harm, like I said, or any of my friends- I'm willing to do what I have to protect the people I care about."
"That means putting my life on the line for people I've never met. Why wouldn't it include you?"
"You aren't your father, you know? And you don't have to be. Just be yourself."

>>711963
We should try to defuse the situation

"You think vampires are superflous? Check out mammals, we could all disappear at the same exact moment and arthropods wouldn't care. I don't know how those people who don't believe in god can exist with that existentian dread over them"

As an atheist, the fedora-est that exist, it pains me to do so. But i believe she could be happier if we evangelized her. Find a purpose in God, or something

"You aren't a leech." You say brushing aside her tears. "Not to me you aren't. And don't sell your people short. You old man has done a hell of a lot of good sense he turned his life around. And you talk about humans giving you guys purpose...you give me purpose."

You pull her close.

"Don't touch me!" She snaps and pulls away but you hold her tight until she stops squirming and collapses sobbing in your arms.

"Sibella, I've spent my whole life fighting. Back in my room, there's a chest, full of vampire fangs that Costilla had me collect from every vampire I've put down. I'm not proud of it. I don't like it. Its something I do because he asks me to do it. A required cruelty, just like your politicking and manipulations and lies. Everyone has parts of themselves they don't like. Of their people, their history. And its okay. I'm here for you because I want to be. Because I know that you love me back."

"Oh Anon...I didn't think this would happen. When I first met you I...I thought I was going to manipulate you. I thought you would be my enemy and I'd have to seduce all your secrets from you. But I love you Anon. I love you so much it scares me. I'm so afraid...its real love and I've never felt anything like it. I'm so afraid that I'm going to dominate your life like my father dominated Mina's life. I need you Anon, more than I thought any vampire could ever need a human..."

SAY? DO?

>>712191
Sibella's great.

>>712191
>I'd have to seduce all your secrets from you.
Start reciting embarassing facts about us. Like that time Anon was a kid and was trying to take a peek under Abby's dress or shit like that

Let's be the goof she feels comfortable around
Also, before i forget. Last thread there was some discussion about taking Sibella's family name as ours, because we didn't have any. While that's fine and dandy, we do have a family name. We are Anon Costilla after all

>>712191
>"You are not your father, Sibella. You have not lived his life, committed his sins, or taken the lives he has."
>"You are your own person, with your own life, your own struggles, loves, and faults."
>"And I need you too. In a way I never dreamed I'd be lucky enough to see. You're so beautiful and loving and I'm so scared that I'm going to wake up one day and be right back where I was before I met you."
>Just hold her, she probably just needs that right now
>Dip into that partially lost French accent we've got.

>>712191
"If it's any consolation. I'm scared too, Sibella. I'm scared that I could hurt you, that I could anger you in such a way that you wouldn't want to be with me. I'm scared that my actions could hurt you, my friends, my family. People I don't want to hurt. I'm scared that people on my side will hurt your people. And I'm sure you're scared of the other side too. But I also know one other thing Sibella. I love you. I think the two of us know that we love each other. So lets talk about it for a while? Hunter to Queen."

May also be time for a kiss. I don't know.

>>712252
>Like that time Anon was a kid and was trying to take a peek under Abby's dress or shit like that
Something other than this would probably be better.

>>712263
Kissing would be good.

>>712191
>"Y-you too"

>>712191
Well, I don't see you as dominating or anything, except maybe when you're putting on airs in public or the like.
You can get forceful, or demanding sometimes I guess...
And I could see how me being generally pretty easy going could look weird from the outside...

I don't see you as any of that really so much as I think of you a partner in this.

I'd be here doing my whole investigator thing either way. You help where you can and help keep me level when things go south.

I think that's worth whatever trouble you might bring with you personally.

"You aren't your father Sibella." You speak tenderly to her. "You have not lived his life, committed his sins, or taken the lives he has. You are your own person with your own life, your own struggles, loves, and faults..." You decide to turn up the charm, dipping slightly into the French accent you used to have to work to suppress. "And I need you too. I never dreamed I'd be lucky enough to have you. You're so beautiful and loving and I'm so scared I'm going to wake up one day and be right back where I was before I met you."

You hold her close and let the moment stretch. You feel her, and she feels you, and there is nothing else in the world.

"It its any consolation I'm scared too Sibella. I'm scared that I could hurt you, that I could anger you in such a way that you wouldn't want to be with me. I'm scared that my actions could hurt you, my friends, my family-people I never want to hurt."

"I feel exactly the same way." Sibella says hugging you tighter. "Exactly the same way."

"I'm scared that people on my side will hurt your people. And I'm sure you're scared of the reverse."

Sibella nods, too choke up with tears for anything but an "um hm".

"But I know one other thing Sibella. I love you. I think the two of us know we love each other. So lets talk about it for a while? Hunter to Queen."

>>712267

You crush your lips to Sibella's and the two of you tumble to the ground. You feel the smoothness of her body through her silk dress. You smell her hair. You feel your tongue pass by her fangs.

Her finger tips grip into your back and Sibella pulls you on top of herself. "I love you." She whispers intimately. "Its the only way I know how to describe it. I love you I love you I love you."

The two of you relax. Sibella curls herself on your lap like a cat. You absent mindedly play with her dark purple hair.

>>712252


"So you wanted to seduce all my secrets from me eh?" You start turning on some of that goofball charm she loves. "Welllll I one time dined and dashed back in Louisiana-couldn't be helped, lost my wallet saving co eds in the bayou from the Masked Mardi-Gras Slasher. And then there was the time I five finger discounted a copy of "Werewolf Bedroom Alpha Duels" ..."

Sibella laughs. "Oh stop. You're embarrassing even me!"

>>712277

"You know, I don't see you as dominating or anything, except maybe when you're putting on airs in public or the like. You can get forceful or demanding sometimes I guess..."

"Hey now!"

"You get kind of cranky when you're low on blood."

"Hmph!" She protests cutely. "Well some of us get low on energy when we do all the work fighting evil."

"Oh really? All the work?" You lovingly stroke her cheek.

"Oh yes all of it. You're so lazy Anon. You ought to take your cue from Gregroy. He knows how to treat one of the noble blood."

"You know you're really cute when you're haughty."

Sibella grins. "I know, aren't I?"

>>712191
>Say/do?
"well, I'm not TOTALLY opposed to the seduction..."

At some point we should ask Sibella about her plans to have Vampires become more humanitarian and beneficial to mankind. It was a point brought up by the electric game ghost and I think sharing that info would make Narya less cranky with us.

Sibella gives you a playful punch in the arm.

"Ouch. That hurt!"

"Oh, is the invincible vampire hunter hurt by the demure little vampire princess?"

"Demure little vampire princess that tamed the Lord of the Flies."

"You know.." Sibella muses with a playful glint in her eye. "I got this idea for something fun we could do this evening..."

"I'm listening..."

"Well...how much did you like "Werewolf Bedroom Alpha Duels?"

"Woah now...I've had that thought to, but I don't think Winnie's boyfriend is into that kind of stuff..."

"Not that you goof!" She punches you in the arm again. "I mean well...how do you feel about displays of dominance?"

"Go on..."

"Its sort of awkward to just talk about it but...would you by any chance have access to a whip?"

"Can you soundproof the room?"

"Certainly. I'll borrow on of those sound absorbing machines Lucan uses to avoid driving us all insane with his laboratory experiments."

"I'd also like to start things with some cuddling, maybe work up from there."

"We can do that. It'll give us something to do while we discuss the...rules of engagement..."

"-Ahem-"

Damn it, there's always something!

You look up and see the armored form of Hahaiah floating calmly above you. "You wanted to know when Nayara awoke? She's up, and she wishes to speak to you."

"I'll go uh, make things ready at the castle. For you to arrive and help me manage the investigation on my family's end. And things..." Sibella says scrambling to her feet.

"I'll be seeing you later Queen of Vampires..." You tease.

Sibella blushes. "Anon...not in front of him!"

In a flash she transforms herself into her cute furry faced bat form and flies squeaking into the evening sky.

.....

You find Nayara sitting up on the couch in the warehouse. Abby flutters about her. "Are you sure I can't get you something to drink? Are you sure nothing's broken? Do you have a headache? Don't rise so quickly?"

"Ah, don't fret over me." Nayara waves her away. "He knocked me out, not drop a nuke on me...ah there you are." Her brightly colored eye turn to you. "Hey there Anon. Looks like you beat me fair and square." She offers you a handshake and you accept.

"Man...you kicked my tail but good. All three of my saints against all three of yours and I couldn't win a single engagement. You got a right to be proud of yourself."

"I'm sorry he overdid it Nayara. Anon can be such a brute at times..." Abby says.

"It's fine. If anyone overdid anything it was me. I should have cried uncle...well, you licking me doesn't change how I feel about your leadership Anon. But I know now that what you do you do with conviction. That's good. I can get behind that if nothing else. Just...just be careful okay? If things ever get hard, and I know I probably shouldn't be saying this after you owned me but...if its ever too hard...I can take over."

We appreciate the sentiment, and maybe say something like we now understand she really only wants what's best for the team; we are all on the same side and we really appreciate her being here.

>>712991
I get that, and it's not like I don't want to hear your thoughts on things even if they don't really match up with my views.

I think multiple viewpoints tend to be best for reaching conclusions anyway.

It's not like it doesn't make sense anyway, from the outside I probably just look like some punk kid in over his head.
And...yeah, sometimes it feels that way, but that's why I do things the way I do.

It isn't how werecreatures do stuff by a long shot I suppose, but in my own way I still expect my people to have my back you know?

At any rate, I do appreciate the concern if nothing else.

>>712991
>"I... appreciate it, I guess. I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from when I do what I do, even if you don't always approve. As far as SI allies go, I could have gotten much worse than you, Naraya."

>>713055
>>712991
Addendum: Thanks for trying to look out for me in your own way.

>>712991
Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment. I will do the best that I can, and I am sure that if I need to talk with you. I will.

Are you sure you don't want or need anything? That fight...it was kind of...heated and well...

"I get that, and its not like I don't want to hear your thoughts on things even if they don't really match up with my views. I understand now that you really only want whats best for the team. We are all on the same side and I really do appreciate you being here."

"I still probably look like a total bitch though, right? I come in here to your group and start throwing my weight around and when it comes to walk the talk you stomp me hard."

"Not a tall. I know a few things about beast people. From the outside i probably look just like some punk kid way in over his head, a pup needing to be put back in is place for his own good. And yeah...sometimes I feel like that. But I'm set in my path. My conviction is solid."

Nayara nods.

"I really do appreciate your concern. As far as SI allies go I could have gotten much worse than you, Nayara."

"I'll try to keep up your faith in me."

"So...what's the plan for the investigation?"

"Well..." Nayara says stretching out on the couch and making you feel uncomfortable in her shorts and sports bra. "The Castle is opening part of itself to the public tomorrow. We know that the Master has some kind of connection to Sibella and her family. He specifically targeted her with those blood mercenaries and Sibella knew the last victim. We can start interviewing members of the family, see if anything shakes loose. And we know she's investigating the statues from her angle. It would help to network with whoever she's recruited from her family to help her...and of course we can do some snooping around."

SAY? DO?

OPERATION COFFIN INFILTRATION IS GO FOR TOMORROW

NO SNEAKING AROUND THE CASTLE. WE KEEP EVERYTHING ON THE LEVEL AND JUST TALK TO HER FAMILY

>>713204
Hold off on the snooping. It would be kind of shitty right after that emotional scene about trust and giving up secrets.

>>713204
>NO SNEAKING AROUND THE CASTLE. WE KEEP EVERYTHING ON THE LEVEL AND JUST TALK TO HER FAMILY

>>713204

I mean yeah, there's a possibility of going full interrogation scene but that's part of the job.

If we just so HAPPEN to overhear things we're not supposed to while mingling? So much the better.

Infiltration can be done in a number of ways.
One way is to totally be there for legitimate reasons, no lie, nuh uh, not at all.

>>713204
>"Can we use the duel to get closer to the Draculas? Ah, information-wise, I mean."

>>713298
We haven't announced that duel. Just as a heads up.

>>713204
You know, her brother did challenge me to a duel, if I win we can outright just request key information from him without having to snoop too much and get lost in Castle Dracula

MENTION DUEL? YES OR NO?

>>713359
No. We need to speak with Sibella about this in private. I don't want to go into dueling him. Especially since I don't really wish to kill him.

>>713359
I say yes.

>>713359
>YES
if we fight Lucan without explaining why we're fighting Lucan it might lead to our allies fighting Lucan and possibly getting killed by Lucan.
How many times can I say Lucan?

>>713379
>Inb4 we start the duel by saying his name three times in the bathroom mirror

>>713359

3 to 1 in favor of mentioning the duel. I'll leave the voting open until tomorrow.

Got to get some sleep now. Threads stay up a longggg time in our new home/ghetto so I'll continue to sporadically update this thread and my other two quests. Keep that tab open!

>>713379
By the way Crunch, GREAT art in this thread today! Any chance for Winnie vs White Fell art? Maybe even Winnie vs Sibella playing lesbian kiss chicken?

>>713505
Okay. Good to know QG. See you later.

>>713505
Thanks QuestGuy
I'll see what I can do this week, my day job got really hectic with Hurrican Matthe

I mean is there any reason not to mention the duel?
I don't think we'd need to kill Lucan - if nothing else, Belial would encourage him to hold back so we don't think he's going for the kill (because if we do he gets attacked by Belial and then bad things happens to him), so the risk would be minimal.

>>713505
Thank you for running. Good thing we are on good terms with catmom. Now we have to train Benny's catgf so she doesn't end up making a fool of herself

Let's talk about something
What we'll do when it comes to the duel between Char and Winnie

I still propose we send a disguised Belial to harass her, without actually attacking, of course.

>>713359
yes

>>714287
Personally I just think that it would be better just to give Char a heads up on what Winnie is capable of, and her modus operandi instead of directly intervening. Anything more than that is hardly fair and would just piss off all parties involved

Also, does anyone have the descriptions of Fur Fur and the other three demons we say at the end of day 1?
Can't seem to find them on the archive

>>714427
I see no damage in giving her a few training sessions

>>713505
Ask Nayara to check out our five We tell her about the duel

>>714287
Best chance we've got, I think, is hoping Char could end up with that third badass demon that we'll be meeting soon.
Then she'll have a chance.

I don't think Belial would want to harass Winnie given they're total fangirls of her.

Winnie quest never ever?

>>714427
This seems a lot more fair, yeah.
Plus, Winnie is our friend too. If she ever found out, we'd lose a lot of trust.

>>715433

>>715638
I'm pretty sure he'll stick with his original granola girl Tanis.

Mention the duel

When we spend our private time with Sibella, we should pick a safeword in Enochian.

Good news, kids!
It's the collectible card game everyone no one asked for!
It's the Ars Goethia CCG! That's right you and your friends can collect and get to know these incredible demons!
Learn about who they were and what they can offer you now!

Here is Number 35, Marchosias. He wants to be your friend! He was a mighty general of god lower case and now commands thirty legions in hell with the title of Marquis of hell. Wow, now that's an improvement!
Did you know he used to have beautiful wings and be really handsome before he was cast out of heaven?
Did you know he still hopes to be forgiven and be allowed back? The miserable weakling!
Did you know he was betrayed and abandoned by god? that's right! Just like you!
And guess what? You actually can talk to him!
That's right, on the back of each card there are instructions to contact your favorite demons so you can talk to them and ask them for stuff!

Oh, what's with the frowny face? You don't think you are powerful enough to command a demon yourself? Is your family against you making new friends? Well, that's bad. They are just sheep in the herd, decieved by the dancing lights
No problem! You can come right up to the Church of Satan and one of our friendly members can help you!

What are you waiting for? Go get them all! They are 72 new friends That can grant you incredible power and they are waiting for you to find them!

Isn't she like a social worker now?

>>715978
I wonder how different things would be if we'd gotten Lucifer instead of Belial.

>>715991
Is he in the Ars Goetia?
Belial was the most powerful we could get our hands on

>>715992
I derped, he super isn't.
I was thinking of Baal.

>>715986
That is the QG plan, I would assume based on old discussions.

There is a art movement going around for Tanis to be angry because she's short forever, the oldest of the ghouls by being a mummy, and treated like a kid. So she's become foul mouthed and foul tempered, it's funny, but not really what I'd want either.

>>716002
Y'know. i always found that weird.
Let's say you have a character that is 1 gorillon years old but looks 20 or 30 and they start dating a human.
Now most people would think this is creepy, but if they spent pretty much all of that time in isolation. Then what is their actual age?
The amount of time they have existed, or the time they grew up as a person?

How old would Tanis actually be if she spent 90% of her existance in a sarcophagus?

>Duel

"Well, I don't think we should risk upsetting anyone by sneaking around, especially when I already have a way to earn some respect and maybe win some answers. You see Sibella has a brother named Lucan and he's challenged me to a duel." You say taking out the leader of challenge and giving it to Nayara.

"Wait a minute hold on." Nayara bolts straight up and puts her hands on your shoulders. "I am not letting you do something as reckless as fighting a Dracula in a duel!"

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry." You feel awkward with her fretting over you. What's her deal? Does she still not think you're capable of taking care of yourself even after your fight? "He's letting me decide the terms of engagement. I"m not going to fight him to the death or anything like that."

"Well that's a relief....heh, when you put it like that its actually kind of funny. Sibella has an overprotective brother! That's kind of cute."

"I don't think its funny..." Abby says wringing her hands. "I mean so its not to the death its still a fight. And Sibella did say her brother is a schemer. I bet he's going to use whatever you do to turn the family against you. If you play nice he'll call you a coward, if you play aggressive he'll call you a vampire hater. If you win he'll court sympathy, if you lose you'll look weak. There's no way we can win at this...I don't even think we can win if you declined the duel, he'll just call you a coward then..."

"Abby, Abby, chill." You say. "I got this."

"Well do you? So you accept his duel tomorrow-what are the rules?" Nayara asks.

WHAT WILL THE TERMS OF THE DUEL BE?

>>716352
Two circles of 1 meter of diameter are drawn on the floor
The circles are 6 meters apart, counting from the center
Each one goes in a circle
The first to make the other leave their own circle, without resorting to physically attacking their opponent, wins

We sic Belial on him

Too scumbag?

>>716352
>Yeah, she also helps out Char at her church.
Do we know that in-universe? This is important.

>>716367
That doesn't fit well with our abilities.

>>716352
>Arp allar Babalond
That's lewd.
Absolutely should be our Safe Phrase.
Bella will be thrilled.

Glad to see you remembered to use the right trip this time.

Can we ask what duels the Draculas have conducted, historically?
Like, straight up lethal combat, races, sex marathons, what?

>>716374
What abilities? If we make him piss his pants, there will be no way he'll twist the defeat into something that benefits him.

We can then take his tail... Uh, his mask

>>716395
our ability is focused on fighting, not trying to out-social some vampire dude.

>>716380
How about
>Noncf lel

>>716400
If we don't out-social him. The our victory, if we win, will be meaningless.

>>716373
Anon doesn't know. Benny just knows her as "the nice lady with the burns that fixes really good tea and helps out Char and sometimes gives me relationship advice".

Sibella doesn't know. Tanis is involved in helping out a lot of charities and she doesn't keep track of the details.

Its one of those things that's flying under the radar. Something for characters to go "aha!" about later when the stumble on the connection.

>>716374
>>716367

We can do it, and Belial can certainly push his ass out of the circle. But if we do we need to make sure its established what a "physical attack" is otherwise expect him to argue that summons count when he loses.

SHOULD WE CHALLENGE HIM TO A CIRCLE DUEL?

>>716380

The duels have typically been of a combative nature and fought among vampires. Rarely have they been to the death, more often they've been to first blood. They typically involve weapons from pistols to rapier to elephant rifles and maxim guns in a couple of very memorable cases. There have also been hypnotic duels of will.

>>716400
Well duels are sort of where out-fighting and out-social intersect. Or is that war?

>Duel
We could play like an actual game. A test of skill or luck rather than cowardice or anything else that could be spun against us.

>>716417
Like a videogame?
Anon's already established his gamer credentials.

>>716424
Oh right, I forgot about that. Maybe.

I'd like something where we could subtly remind mister vampire that if he tries any shit (either during the actual duel or trying to run damage control by somehow turning this into him being better than Sibella even if he loses), we might get annoyed enough at him to ask Belial to deal with the problem that is him being around.

>>716411
>Belial can certainly push his ass out of the circle.
No, i don't mean it like that. If Belial pushed him out of the circle then that could mean he can throw something at us. Like a potion. Alchemists then to have good throwing arms.
No, i mean like appearing suddenly and scaring him into backing off.
Having an aspect of THE prince of hell suddenly appearing in front of you has to have some effect on you. Even if you are a vampire.

>>716411
>Anon doesn't know.
Oh, that's too bad. Because i've been seeing a lot of strange things about our current mission with Sibella and i want to bring them up to Nayara.
This one little fact would be the proberbial "straw that broke the camel's back"
But i don't want to metagame

>>716411
Nah I don't really like this duel. It hinges too much on Belial doing enough to him.

I mean first blood could work, or a traditional wrestling circle style duel where the first one to leave it loses.

This is tricky and I don't know what is the best answer.

>>716445
Same. I'm terrible about carefully rigging things to my favor in RPG's.

Plus, I'm iffy on a physical duel, because as good as we are, Sibella's brother probably didn't just buy those tokens he carries around.

Oh shit, we have to rememeber he probaly has our blood.
At least LJN had it.

What if wedo a sort of TRON gladiatorial style thing, like with light cycles?

>>716449
Physical conflict means that Belial gets to wreck him.
We have a favor from her around, and curbstomping that smug jackass would be good.
Possibly combined with a threat of "you better fucking not try and spin this as if you're hot shit or that Sibella sucks or I'll ask Belial to do a repeat of the LJN thing"

>>716457
Fuck, we still have him in our heads. We can let him go for a little while so he gets to say
>"Don't do it boss. Game over, man. Game over."

>>716457
My big worry is, Sibella was able to pretty easily dominate her demons and I don't want him to lock eyes with Belials and suddenly turn her on us, from the inside/soul-out

QG, can we just go "whatever will let me use the trump card of Belial in case he tries anything"

>>716466
Sibella seems special, though?
And, well, there's a difference between what she controlled and Belial.
...Right?

>>716474
If you are willing to metagame
She is able to mermerize Abby. but we don't know this for ceirtain
Belial seems to be in a whole other level. Or is she?

Halalahahalahalal seems convinced he and Abby could take her on in her current state.
But we don't really know if that's true, considering neither Hahaiel or Belial would be willing to admit they are at a disadvantage

>>716474
Whatever we challenge him to Belial will be able to help us and auto-win the challenge if we want her to. The trick will be either beating him without her for the prestige or getting her to win for us in such a way that won't make him and the audience cry bullshit.

>>716466
>>716474
>>716454
There are loose threads...but consider this. If Lucan was able to do what Sibella can regarding demons and angels wouldn't she have told us? At the very least she would have told Abby to stay away from him.

So no, Lucan doesn't have Sibella's special powers.

I am tempted to suggest strip poker, if only for the mental image of seeing a proud vampire sitting naked with his mask still on because he prefers to go naked before taking that off.


Ah, gonna go with First Blood

Alternatively, knights of old were legendary for their shit talking duels whose name I forget

>>716891
Nah, we can tell off demons, gods, and angels. Vampires are outside our area of expertise.
And you know what they say, the devil knows more for being old than for being the devil

Tie between dance off and first blood.

>>716891
Darn, I know what you're talking about but I can't think of the name either. It syncs well with our "Christian Knight and Vampire Princess" theme.

>>717020
First blood. Chaanging my vote.

>>717020
Nice, got back just in time to vote dance off

If we vote for the dance off, can we choose Belial as our companion?

It has equals amount of non-threatening and threatening, at the same time.

>>717066
...Wait would this work?
Cause I would've figured we'd look weird to most vampires since they wouldn't be able to notice Belial?

>>717098
Can't they make themselves visible if they want?
Also, most people there will be from the Dracula bloodline, i am sure they'll be able to see her just fine

>>717236
>>717098
She can "cheat" by creating a physical representation of herself over her "actual" selves.

>>717268
Well, if we can literally dance with the devil, then i change my vote from first blood to dance off

>>717275
Will the time of the duel be a moonlit night?
I assume Sibella wouldn't be allowed to join in, since she's meant to be the head?

So uh what's the vote at?

>>716518
i'm all for strip poker. let's see what he's hiding under the mask

>>717400
Vote count I mean.

>>717477
We could have challenged to a lucha match. Loser has to take the mask off.
Let's see him trying to spin that one in his favor

>See? I told you he was dangerous, father!
>... He only took your garish mask

>>717506
It's more that he's going to try and spin Sibella being incompetent as a ruler, no matter what.
Unless we manage to not make him be so stuckup, or something?

Now, young summoners, not every demon is as easy to summon, or to control or to defend against but your new friend Belial has only the best intentions for you!
Yes, she might be a little mischevous We are still trying to rebuild Mike and doesn't play by the rules, but what really gets her motor running are steel chariots that spit fire and defy death and safety concerns
Just like the one your father bought. With your college fund
She can make tons of friend with quirky powers for you to play! Your parents are getting a divorce
And the best of all? You get TWICE the Belial for the price of one! I think i just heard your father hitting your mother
Your artsy friend comes in a pair!

But seriously, if you manage to summon Belial and not end up like your mother. Seriously kid, you should try to summon a demon or get the hell out of there, your father is out of his mind come to the church of Satan. We have a generous offer for you.

Fuck it, Mike's a goner. Just snap his neck to spare him the suffering and start with the funerary rites

"I'm going to challenge him to a dance-off!"

Nayara and Abdiel look at you like you're crazy.

"No, think about it. I show strength by showing that I'm above his petty threats and games, that I have contempt for them....and I totally smoke him on the dance floor."

Nayara brings her finger to her chin and thinks.

"Are you for real Anon?" Abby says hovering over you. "A dance off? In front of all of Sibella's family? You know they'll be cameras there! What will Lord Michael think if he sees you...dancing!"

"No..." Nayara says at last. "No I think he's on to something."

"...You can't be serious..." Abby gives a nervous chuckle. "Oh dear. Madness must be spreading."

"Its an unconventional solution but this is an unconventional operation. We want to put him in his place, but we don't want to seem too aggressive. We want to defeat him but not seem violent. Above all we want the family to see us as approachable and confident. I say you have to be pretty damn confident to challenge Lucan Dracula to a dance-off. And if a few of them laugh at Anon, then good. We want to seem approachable and non-threatening."

"Alright...maybe it could work..." Abby says. "I'm just...I'm just really worried is all. I don't read mortals very well. These social games...I just can't understand them let alone how you win them."

"That's alright." Nayara smiles. "It's like that a lot of the time for us as well. We just make it up as we go along."

"Still. You better not make an embarrassment of us Anon." Abby shakes a glowing finger in your face. "You represent all of us as leader!"

"Speaking of all of us...I need to get in touch with Benny." You say. "I know we still go the Impossible College to contact tonight, but their funky crystal ball can wait a little while longer. Benny's on that date and...I want to make sure it goes well for him. I want him focused tomorrow when we go up to the Castle and I want him to be on good terms with Char so that he can help her when...you know..."

"You sound like we're going to execute her." Nayara says.

"Well Winnie is going to do everything but."

"Hey, listen." Nayara places a hand on your shoulder and gently pulls you down to the couch. "You remember what I told you about walls? Have everyone no matter who they are has walls in their lives that they just can't get past?"

"I like to think there's a way around any wall whether you go under it or over it or through it."

"Well, you went through me. So maybe you can get past all of them. Some people are special like that." Nayara smiles at you warmly. "But not everyone is like you. Some people can't beat their walls."

"So what? They just give up?"

"No. They find another path. You should know the Lord works in mysterious ways. Walls are just his way of saying that the path you thought you were on isn't the one on which you're needed."

"She wants to be an SI so bad though. Benny always said she's had trouble fitting in, trouble feeling like she matters..."

>>718116
Wait, wait, Michael can see this!?
Shit, that means we need to talk about Belial before that happens.

>>718116
"She doesn't have to be on the team to belong to us. She doesn't have to be on the team to matter to us. Maybe this is what her wall is for, to tell her that she doesn't have to prove herself to matter to people?"

"Well...we'll see what happens when Werewolf alpha meets Voodoo Catgirl." You pick yourself off the couch. "Until then I got to check in on my best friend."

ENTER BENNY MODE?

STAY IN ANON MODE?

>>718136
I say we go with Benny mode.

She doesn't have to LOOK like Belial though. Keep that in mind.

I'm fine with Benny mode, will we pop back into anon mode from time to time?

Your interpretation on any of the new bots in mechagirl. Mousey, Sherry, Grandma, etc.

As for Ghoul Quests...I'm not actually sure. Maybe your take on our resident Bobcat girl, or Nayara?

>>718228
A flatline vital monitor, in honor of Phantynon.
No but seriously, art of Phanty cooking booberry pancakes in a cute apron would be dope.

>>718136
Let's take a look at Benny

>Entering Benny mode

You got to admit, the Bluestone is a pretty swanky place. The band on stage looks pretty lively for a bunch of dead guys from the 1930's. The jazz they play is the real deal. And best of all you think its having a soothing effect on Char.

Or is that boredom?

Please don't be boredom...

"So the band's pretty killer isn't it?" You say. "Jazz is pretty big down south right? You ever listen to this kind of stuff?"

Char's large ears give an exaggerated little twitch. "You know I like calm music Benny. I can listen to it when I'm doing my channeling."

"So uh...you don't like the music? You want to get a different table or..." You shift uncomfortably in your seat. It doesn't help that your suit is no good for all the sweating you're doing.

"No Benny. Why would I want another table? Do you think I can't enjoy something just because its loud and exciting? Do you think its going to "freak me out?" I LIKE Jazz. It's not my favorite but I LIKE it."

Oh jeeze...her green eyes squint at you angrily. It reminds you of how Nayara looked at Anon.

You hope he's doing alright. You left him right when the meeting seemed to be really heating up.

You hope he's doing better with his catgirl than you are with yours.

"You know Abby said you're supposed to have a good time tonight right?"

"You mean the angel you don't believe in? The one you've known for more than a year and never told me the about? The one who is apart of a team I want to join that you don't want me to?"

Oh man...you'd kill for Anon to somehow be here. He was always so good getting people on his side.
Well, most of the time.
More than you anyway.

SAY? DO?

>>720940
>Apologize, again.
>Ask how her work with her spirits has gone, the progress she's made.

Jeeze, Benny, you have fucked up.

>>720951
This

It is going to get worse before it gets better

>>720951
Yeah, it pretty much has to be this way.

Man, how are we gonna navigate Benny's idiot ass through this minefield?

>>721100
Well Charlotte isn't doing us any favors

>>721138
She kind of has every right to be mad at him.
I mean, he cut her out of a significant portion of his life and, unknown to her, was totally thinking about trying to get it on with Sibella.

Char has her problems, yeah, but he hasn't exactly helped alleviate them.

>>721147
>was totally thinking about trying to get it on with Sibella.
To be fair, until recently he thought this relationship was going nowhere. And the feeling seemed to be mutual.

Why are even these idiots dating anyway, they are disfunctional as heck

>>721157
He explained it in an earlier thread. They both feel ashamed of their parents, have been treated as dangerous because of it, and have abilities that make it hard for them to live normal lives.
They're clearly passionate about being together, but Benny's idiocy and Char's self-flagellation have put serious wrinkles in the relationship.

It's salvageable, but they need to reconcile their issues (her faith and his lack of it, her self-worth, etc.) or it's going to sink, quickly and messily.

>>721173
It's not so much Benny being dumb, it is that he tends to misjudge how people will react to his choices

>I better not tell my GF i hang out with one of them angels, she was feeling sad about her origins and would probably be scared of meeting her
>Whoops, guess not

>I shouldn't allow her to join the crew, it is very dangerous
>Whoops, looks like she wants to join in

>I better not tell her what i am up to, she might get worried sick
>Whoops, she was worried anyway

In his defence, he is pretty fucked in the head too. He just hides it better.
He wants to carry the world's weight on his shoulders because he wants to prove he is a good guy, but that strain gets to him very frequently

>>721193
Yeah, that's more accurate.

Plus, to address that Sibella thing, it's pretty clear that, passionate as they are, their sex life isn't exactly stellar. I think QG basically called it "Benny does most of the work and Char lays there like a weepy dead fish".

Hopefully, we can fix her confidence issues.

>>721208
We have to show Benny that those around him can handle what's going on and that he has no need to protect them that much

And Char needs to love herself a little bit and to cut dow with the passive aggressivity. She is pretty judgy too, so there is that.

>>721226
that's pretty much it, yeah.

>>720951
>>720973
"Look." You sigh. "I'm sorry.I'm really really sorry."

"About?" She lifts her chin.

"About lying to you. About being...overprotective of you..."

"And? Not sorry about not wanting me on the team?"

"Char...damn it, I just don't think its a good idea is all."

"Benny. Think back to our support group. Remember when we first met? Remember the thing we talked about? You told me how much you hated everyone worrying about you, worrying you would blow someone or something up with your powers. And I told you how much I worried about losing control of mine, about becoming like my parents. You told me not to be afraid of myself. So why are you telling me to be now? Why are you telling me I can't do this?"

"Its not about your powers. Come on Char you know I trust you. You know I've always trusted you."

"Then if its not that then what? What's the danger in me being on the team?"

"The danger...I guess is me."

Her ears perk back. "What do you mean?"

"I thought about telling you lots of times. I mean I know you like angels. And I'd tell myself I can't because of Anon killing those voodoo cats down in Louisiana might set you off but...that was never it."

"I'd hope not. I don't have any sympathy for my parents evil cult. I don't have sympathy for anyone that abuses voodoo. So what was it?"

"The thing is...I go out there, I put all that crazy armor on and fight monsters that turn into smoke and mind control people and are just so out of my league. I just follow Anon and Costilla's lead, you know? They know what to do, I don't. So it feels like a miracle every time I get out of a mission alive. And what helps me get through it all is knowing that you're back at your church waiting for me, save, not involved, totally removed from harm. I can imagine on some level every time I'm fighting that I'm fighting to protect you, to help keep you safe and not involved...And I don't know if I can't do that. I don't know if I can fight knowing that you're mixed up in all this vampire/demon/angel craziness. It's not that I think you're weak Char. It's that I know I am."

"...Benny..." She says tenderly as she places brown furry hand over yours. "That's...very sweet. It's stupid and wrong and I hate that its the reason you want to keep me away from all this but...I understand the sentiment. You're not weak Benny. You just want to protect me and...I really do need to say thank you for that."She nervously touches her long black hair. "I'm doing everything that "So you found out your boyfriend is a masked super hero book" says not to do. I'm being such a bitch..."

SAY? DO? (Don't worry, Anon is coming on the Belial psychic hotline soon!)

>>721241
>Tell her it's okay. She has her own worries, her own troubles to work through.
>We just want to make sure that, if she joins the SI's, it's something healthy instead of self-destructive. Being an SI shouldn't be some form of penance for her.

>>721241
Nah...
It's understandable, it is sorta weird territory and all.
So it'd make sense we're both a little...man, I'm not good at words, a little "off" about it a bit from different angles.
I mean for me, it's not that I don't think you could, or that you shouldn't, I just.. I just worry, that you'll worry about me, and I'll worry about you, and we'll both be there- and one way or another that'll blow up in our faces somehow.

>>721241
"Hey, it's not like i haven't given you a reason to treat me that way And i think i kind of understand why you want to join, in a way. Since i've been with them, i learned how to use" [Makes explosion gesture with his hand] "this thing for good, and that feels really good. I know you can take care of yourself, but i can't help being an idiot"

>>721241
"I dunno, babe, I think I'd be a little upset, too, if you kept from me that you were a superhero and were afraid of me joining your version of the super friends"

>>721259
>>721266
>>721282
>>721703

"Nah...its understandable. This is sort of weird territory."

"Our whole relationship is weird territory. It's okay." She smiles, and you feel better already. You love it when she smiles.

"And its not like I haven't given you good reason to bitch at me. I deserve it babe. I think I'd be a little upset too if you kept from me that you were a superhero and were afraid of joining your version of the super friends. Although I don't really think I count as a superhero."

"Oh stop that! And to think you're the one that's always saying I'm too hard on myself. You're a superhero Benny, like you've always wanted to be."

"Nah. Anon and Black Falcon, those guys are super heroes. I just follow them around and do what I can to help."

"No...Come on Benny. You made it! I mean you really have. Didn't you always tell me that you wanted to be a super hero like Black Falcon? Well you are! I told you one day you'd be a super hero and you did it! Now don't pretend that isn't an accomplishment. Its not fair for you to always tell me to have some pride just for you to do the humble act on me!"

You feel your cheeks star to burn. "You really think I'm a superhero? I mean...its not even a costume I wear, its just a bomb suit we got from the local SWAT team and I don't have a codename or anything and I don't belong to any super team...no one's ever called me a super hero before..."

"Then I guess that makes me the first...you're my super hero Benny."

You fight back a couple of tears. "Thanks babe...that means a lot."

"That book I've been reading said its real stressful for someone to out themselves to their loved ones, that I shouldn't take you lying to me to mean anything other than you wanting to protect me. Its just hard you know. It feels like you don't trust me when you have this entire second life even when I know its not the case. They say that the most important thing I can do is to tell you that I'm proud of you so..." Char's large, soft, green eyes captivate you. "Benny, I'm proud of you."

"Thanks babe...but this is kind of dancing around the issue isn't it?"

"I guess it is..." Char frowns. "We do that a lot don't we? I mean about me joining, religion, our relationship..."

"Well lets not dance around this...Char. You being on the team...why exactly do you want to be on it?"

"Because...I learn you've done all this to protect me, all the sacrifice, all the danger, and I...well I guess like most things about me it goes back to when I was little. Back at the nunnery they always fussed over me. I had dozens of mothers. "Don't worry Char, God loves you no matter who you are." "Don't worry about the voices in your head, you can control them." "You aren't crazy Char. You're just telepathic.". And when you're young and weird you really do need to hear stuff like that a lot. But when you grow up it starts to become stifling. You want to feel like more than something people protect and help."
-cont

>>721985
"You want to feel like you're helping people yourself. And I guess being a cat person compounds that feeling, makes you want to feel like you're a part of the "pack". I guess that's why I left for Louisiana when I as a teenager and started learning voodoo. I wanted to be the inverse of my parents. I wanted to take what they cursed me with and make it a blessing."

"And you did. You know how many telepaths end up cracked on at the mercy of their own thought forms. Not you. You run a Church. You help people."

"Yeah..." Her ears droop a little. "But that's something anyone could have done. It didn't have anything to do with me-with my powers or being a beast person. I tried to do something with those parts of me remember? I tried joining up with those Impossible College guys and that didn't work out. I tried getting involved in the local pack and that didn't work out...I've never gotten to really DO anything with my powers. I've just sort of lived with it..." Char perks up. Her green eyes flash with an inspired energy. "But then you joined Anon's SI cell and you started using your powers to protect the city! And if you can do it then so can l! Remember we were always telling each other that we could control our powers, that one day we'd really use them to help people. This is just the next level of that, this is just putting what we said into practice-together!"

"Yeah..." You admit. "That makes sense. I can't argue that sense I've joined with them I've learned how to use-" You gesture with your hands, moving them apart like an explosion while making a BWORGGG sound with your mouth. "-for good and it feels really, really good. Char I know you can take care of yourself. Your thought-forms give you almost as many powers as Anon's Saint collection."

"Oh don't call them that Benny."

"What?"

"A collection. They're venerable Saints, not Pokemon cards."

"Alright. His army of saints."

"Don't call them that either."

"What? They can't be called an army?"

"They're gentle and wise...army just doesn't sound right."

"Alright, his friends the Saints-"

'Well not that either-it sounds too informal."

You glare at Char and she starts giggling. "I'm just teasing you now. Cats do that you know. Meow."

"Well anyway, I know you can take care of yourself. I'm just worried. I can't help but be an idiot."

"And I love you for it."

"But I mean...both of us together in a dangerous situation...that's not something we've ever had to deal with. I worry that I'll worry about you and that you'll worry about me and we'll both be worrying about each other and...and one way or another it'll just blow up in our faces."

"I think it'll make us stronger fighting side by side. You'll worry yes. I'll worry to.But we'll also be there to keep each other focused and haven't we always done that? Haven't we always encouraged each other to try our best? Hasn't that always worked for us?"

SAY? DO?

"I'm going to worry like hell about you babe..." You give her hand a squeeze and she smiles knowing what you're about to say. "...But if your heart is telling you to join then join."

"I won't let you down Benny! I promise you I'm going to be a big help on the team. I-I-I've been practicing with my thought forms teaching them to be more mobile." She's so excited she's starting to fumble over her own words. "You guys have your own tactics and stuff and you know me whenever I bring out a thought-form I have to focus a second and I don't want to get in the way of any battle formations or plans or anything so I figure I can stay behind everyone and deploy my thought forms to help wherever their needed you think Nayara will approve I mean she wants me to get better with my capoeira and jujitsu and of course I will maybe I'll even start sparring with some local pack members to get stronger but for now I think its a good plan-"

SAY? DO?

SHUT HER UP WITH A KISS?

>>722242
>SHUT HER UP WITH A KISS

>>722242
>SHUT HER UP WITH A KISS

And scritch her ears, we love her ears.

Wonder if that's a bad idea in public like this, if you catch the drift?

>>722242
>SHUT HER UP WITH A KISS?

>>722249
>>722257
>>722356
You lean forward and shut her up with a kiss. Her breathe hitches a moment in surprise.

"B-Benny!" She says pulling away, albeit slowly. "What if someone sees?"

"So what if someone sees?" You reach your hand out and give on of her ears a good scritching.

She closes one eye and leans into your hand before catching herself and stopping. "Benny! Stop you big idiot!" Char gently swats your hand away. "We can...have fun later. Lets at least try to get through the appetizer before making them throw us out."

"Okay." You say to yourself. Things are looking pretty good so far. She's not mad at you anymore. But there's a lot more you need to talk to her about besides her joining the team. There's the matter of your relationship constantly frozen in this limbo where you're not "actually" dating and yet are clearly dating. Its ridiculous. You're on a date, all dressed up at the Bluestone, and yet you aren't "actually" dating. You got to do something about that. Its going to be stressful enough fighting evil together.

And then there's the fact you flirted with Sibella...lewdly, suggestively flirted with Sibella...that was wrong. And yet you don't know if it would be better to not tell Char about it or to not keep it a secret. You keeping secrets from her before didn't work out so well.

God you wish Anon could somehow be here to give you advice...

"Hey Benny don't freak out or nothing but I'm telepathically contacting you with the help of Belial!"

Well. Speak of the devil.

You're careful not to startle Char. You quickly glance away to hide the surprise you suddenly feel creeping over you expression.

"Now don't actually talk. Belial says that's a mistake a lot of people do when they first try telepathy. Just think the words calmly and-"

"Holy shit telepathy! This is really neat Anon! So is Belial going to be like our Oracle or something?"

"I've been considering using her in that respect, yeah. This is pretty handy isn't it?"

"Okay two things though. First how come there's this weird distortion echo thing I'm hearing? Is that just how things sound when you use telepathy?"

"Naw that's just Belial. You know how they are with the double thing."

"Okay, kind of weird but whatever floats their boat. Second thing-we're going to have to talk to Char about having Belial link her telepathically."

"...Wait a minute. I thought you were against her joining?"

"Well man I was but we talked about it and you know what? I'm willing to have her on. We're going to be worrying about each other yeah, but I think we can help each other more than we distract each other. She's been working her adorable little tail off getting her thought-forms ready to help us in battle. I really think this is going to work Anon."

Skip dat shiet, Let them have their moment

Now i am curious about what Nayara thinks about Benny. She doesn't want Char on the team because of how green she is, but Benny is not much better in that regard.
Maybe she is okay with letting Benny be on the team, part because he was already there and part because she empathizes more with Char and cares more about her

>Skip over the "gotta fight a werewolf alpha to get the job" thing. They deserve a good night together.

"Great to hear that bomb bro. Thinks are looking good on my end as well."

"Oh thank God. I thought Nayara was going to beat you up when I left!"

"Wellllllllll.....I've gotten on better footing with Nayara after we kind of had a training spar..."

"Well hey, no shame in being her scratching post for the greater good. Take it from a guy with his own catgirl problems."

"I won."

"Uh...you sure you shouldn't have just let her win?"

"Yeah. I mean she's a beast person. They're big on the whole Klingon warrior honor thing."

"Well did you HAVE to win?"

"If I would've held back she might've noticed. I've sparred with Winnie enough times to know they hate sandbagging."

"Tell me she's okay with losing to you..."

"Yeah. She doesn't agree with a lot of my decisions but she's fine with working with me in an advisory capacity. She said we were cool when she woke up."

"Woke up? What the hell did you do, knock her out?"

"Well...the fight did get a bit heated..."

"Damn it Anon!"

"What? Don't give me that, I've gotten enough from Abby."

"Anon, you don't knock out your supervisor! What were you thinking?"

"Benny trust me here. We're cool with Nayara. We're cool. Besides, I didn't come here to talk about Nayara, that's all well and settled."

"If you think so..."

"Yeah. But I'm here to help you with Char. I know there's a lot of-"

"Benny?" Char breaks you out of your mental concentration. "Are you okay? You're sort of just kind of spacing out and making faces?"

does anyone have a link to the other quests like winnie or phantasma?
