You are Johann Fol , a human student who had recently lost his foster dad and was forced to transfer to Garsis academy in the elven city state of Cairth under the protection of a new guardian: Miss Yuni in Gladefall Dorm, Tenfaro Street.

Under some strange circumstances, you happened upon a mysterious parallel world known as the Moonworld filled with strange creatures known as shadows thriving in a hellish post-apocalyptic landscape. It is up to you to purge lust out of Cairth as part of your agreement with a malicious entity , Ruin in Form .

Despite the cold ravaging your body, You went with Tecig to Cairth Silver Stadium for one hell of an Ollad match. While leaving, His ex-girlfriend and her equally douchy Ollad boyfriend twisted the dagger in his heart by telling him that she had aborted his unborn child right after they broke up.

Hello everyone , just letting you know that I am the QM but I can't post images .
>>4431964
thank you anon

"Alright, let's get you home...don't want your guardian to slice me up like that Borr of Fanikin ." The elf did his best to hide the pain with more obscure references, clinging dearly to his usual and cheerful altitude.

"Yeah." You are not too too worried about some asshole cop busting your balls for violating your S.S.C restriction. Tecig should handle it...fingers crossed for Ol'Betty not to screw you two over.

____________________

The road back to Koris was much better than you would have thought, that or maybe you are not getting used to Cairth afterdark. At any rate, you are finally home. Miss Yuni was waiting for you two. Now who told her about this??

She was pissed.

You slowly got out of the car, though you didn't actually do anything wrong, you couldn't meet her burning gaze. Tecig had similar expression. Uh-oh, He is in a load of trouble right now.

>Uuuh, let grown ups do their thing? You want to crawl back to bed.
>Defend Tecig, take all the blame for yourself
> Calm Miss Yuni down, It is just a cold, no biggie
>Write in!

> Calm Miss Yuni down, It is just a cold, no biggie
Don’t want to take all the blame but also don’t want to throw best boy Tecig under the bus

"You worry too much, Miss Yuni. I am fiiiine."

" Fine? FINE?? Look at yourself!" Tecig opened his mouth but your guardian didn't give him a single chance to speak as you kept coughing " What are you even wearing??"

"I lived on the other side of the pond my whole life, didn't realize winter is coming so-so-ACHOO."

"That's it! you are not leaving the dorm until you stop coughing and sneezing. I can't risk it." Aw fuck, Tomorrow is your free day before a whole week of academy/moonworlding

>You are not the boss of me. I go wherever I want!
>Tecig, Help...
>Make me!
>Yes, Miss Yuni.
>Whatever.

Looks like a day for teaching maq/working on our essay not much else we can do being ill. If something really important happens we can just sneak out.

>Yes, Miss Yuni.
Shut up and nod

Not much you could do here anyways. Your guardian turned on Tecig afterwards, Sadly, He is on his own. He is totally forgive you later on, that is what bros are for.


Your eye briefly stared at the looming threat in the skies. Ruin in Form is still there, silently watching your non-existent progress to purge lust but honestly? screw this guy right now; were too exhausted to check on your phone or anything for that matter, those two messages can wait.

Once your head hit the pillow, all the coughing started to momentarily subside. Your body demanded a good night sleep.

__________________

The air is heavy with the stench of death. The soil is warm with freshly spilled blood, your blood. Your eyes, your ears...all blank. Your body feels so distant and broken with mere twitches here and there. You can only taste your failure. What a horrible mess you have gotten yourself and others into. Your right arm still lingers above, like a hapless sprout waiting for salvation that will never come. Why are you still trying to reach for the blood-soaked skies?This is your unmarked grave, Lie in it. You deser-

No. Not this time.

A writhing hand pulled you out of your grave: Melchiades.

Your persona stood next to you in this desolate, broken world. Is this....a dream? Moonworld?....or perhaps something else?

"Uh, Hi?" He spoke to you once before when you awakened him.

"Can you understand me?"

"Are you ignoring me?" No answer. Maybe he is hard wired to follow certain commands? He vanished when you told him to do when you first met Mouten's dick of a brother. Asshole forcing you to walk in a scorching desert.

Are personas part of you or a extension/byproducts of your thoughts? Damn you already forgot. You wish Maq was here though, She makes for a decent navigator even if it is a temporary thing.xx

"Well, I can't talk to you buuut I can count on you to kick ass, right?" He might have nodded, you are not sure.

You have seen some shit in the Moonworld but all of this chaos around you, It feels real...too real. The disfigured and twisted corpses scattered across the ruins are unsettling and somewhat familiar. Could this be your own reality? Is this Cairth after Ruin in Form was done with it?

Whatever the case, something really bad had happened here. You should leave.

You took several steps forward when the land started to shake violently, Your persona raised a wall of blood to protect you from the incoming debris , however, neither you nor him were aware of the evergrowing crack beneath your feet.

"Whoa-WHOA!" A second more and you would have been swallowed by the bottomless pit below you. More cracks were eating the landscape around you, dead husks and whole forgotten structures alike were gone in a second. Pillar of flesh and bone erupted from the belly of this cursed place forming swathes of raging tendrils.

"The...fuck..." The largest of them all didn't have a fleshy tendril, instead, a giant rotten eye had fixed it glare on your puny figure.

You could hear a sinister giggle beneath these layers of putrid flesh.

>MOON.OUT.
>Run away from the clossal eye from down under [Skill 2]
>You ain't scared of anyone, Attack the large freaking eye!

"Cute, That is real cute. "

Everything began to disintegrate around you as a gigantic sea of rotten flesh erupted in a flash. Probably a direct response from your spell which had literally done nothing by the way. Soon enough, you were floating in an endless void.

You could still breathe so it wasn't too bad, the real problem was the giant eye or rather its titanic owner.

Yes, a...shadow? It looks elfoid with long black hair , pale round face with a single golden earring on side. There was no apparent body for this shadow....just a mess of upper white arms with two large resembling a jagged horn partially encapsulating the head in a fleshy prison. The lower half is a mixture of rotten arms and other animal-like extremities with what seemed to be a ravenous maw replacing its...privates.

Finally, This entity is donning a tattered dark red dress? It is really hard to tell with all of these body parts. Compared to its, you are nothing , like a speck of dirt.

"You took your sweet time, I was waiting for you to 'die' in a battle or something like that. This moment of weakness will do....No forced celestial bond for you, I guess." The shadow sighed, Almost disappointed at this outcome.

>Moon the fuck out , now!
>Attack the colossal shadow!
>Who are you?
>Weakness? You mean my cold?
>Write in!

"You are my window to your delicious world. I am stuck in my prison because of him . I need some boots on the ground, Solider! You fit our needs perfectly. "

The next moment, you found yourself right next to your unmarked grave. The shadow was slightly bigger than you but not like before. You were still cautious about this entity especially after the prison part. However, you need answer...fast " So where are we?"

"In your dreams, my fleshy window." that is reassuring at least "I have been reshaping them lately for my pleasure. A eternity alone can be quite...maddening...and please, stop referring me as 'it' in your head, I am a woman, baby. Well, the part who is talking to you anyways. Other parts of me are a mixed bag of marriages and.... her ." Now that 'she' had mentioned it, her voice is quite seductive like one of those action flick actresses. Urgh, Focus Johann!

>Wait, who or what are you?
>Marriage?
>What do you want from me?
>I don't trust you.
>Get out of my head!
>Write in!

"Straight to it huh? Heheheheh" her myriad of hands twitched in unison " I want you to kill A-OOOPSS. " the multi-limbed entity stopped herself at the last second.

"Huh?"

" I can't say his name, my sweet window. Divine names can and will kill you if you are not strong enough. I believe you know him as Ruin in Form. "

Something inside her started to churn wildly afterward, making her wince slightly in pain "All the cycles used to be governed by two gods. On one side, you have the usurper, the pretender, the filthy maggot Ruin in Form claiming to be the god of law and order...on the other you have me, the god of chaos... He was obsessed with 'perfection' so he imprisoned... her so he can decide the fate of all cycles by himself." there were not-so-subtle changes in her tone... boiling anger mixed with unbridled pain.

" I called myself the Shapeless Baroness, these sorrowful marriages inside me have no name, no identity... they fuel this magnificent body with their dwindling power... when the time comes, I too will join them."

>Finally, Let's team up against fucking Ruin!
>How do you plan on killing this guy? He is pretty tough.
>What about...Her?
>Marriage?
>Chaos?
>I got another question ...
>No way, you reek of crazy shit. I am out.
>Write in!
>>
>>4432297
>Write in "If I agreed to help you, what would I gain? Why shouldn't I help ruin purge Cairth of sin?"
lets probe for more information before peacing the fuck out.
>>
>>4432317
+1 really don’t want to help whatever this thing is but I want to at least know it’s motives
>>
>>4432297
>What about... Her?
>>
>>4432317
>>4432320

The Shapeless Baroness extended her neck slithering soft whisper in your ear " Because I was once like you. I did all the purge and He lied to me...He tricked me killing everyone I cared for and my city-state and my cycle. I accepted the marriage from the previous god of chaos. He gave my a new purpose because he was weak and fading away, He needed a stronger Daughter of twelve , Daughter of none. "

So that is what Marriage is. A union of flesh and soul...interesting. Whether the Shapeless Baroness is lying to you or not remains to be seen.

"You didn't answer my question. What is it in for me?"

" For one, Your cycle will be spared. You will enact your vengeance and If you wish, the whole universe is yours to command. Chaos isn't inherently evil...It is beautiful...it is the nature course of everything! Ruin will never find his 'perfection' , He will keep lying destroying one cycle after another. He must be stopped."

~A great well of darkness is pouring from The shapeless Baroness~

"Abandon the betrayer. Her's power is ...limited in our prison but we change the rule of the great game to your favor."

"Wait,wait, wait...that is a lot to take in."

" Take your time, I got all eternity for your questions, my sweet window."

>What happened if I formed a bond with you?
>How do we exactly kill ruin?
>My special eye is acting weird.
>Wow, so you were just like me?
>What happens if you are out ?
>Who is...her?
>Nah, I am out.
>Tell me more about yourself
>How does marriage work again?
>Why didn't Ruin just kill you as a whole?
>Write in!
>>
>>4432355
>Wow, so you were just like me?
Feign being genuine with this and try and catch it in a lie.
>>
>>4432355
>Wow, so you were just like me?
what >>4432361 said
>>
>>4432355
>Wow, so you were just like me?
Yeah just pretend like we are invested in the chaos god until it goes away
>>
>>4432361
>>4432369

"Yes, with same elven overlords and revolution except for the long nosed master of the Velvet , Igor, He was in hiding when started my sin-purging. I couldn't save him when Ruin found our Velvet Theatre. It all went down from here..."

"..."

The Baroness gently grabbed your hands, hers were cold as ice " You have every right not to trust m, I understand....without our power and knowledge, you stand no chance against Ruin. He.Will.Betray.You. "

You remained silent, this has suspicious written all over it.

" Don't trust my words, Trust my power. "

_____________________________

You woke up feeling like total shit, The good ol trio of fever/coughing/sneezing were killing you. The one good thing about being sick is food. Yep, you always think with your belly. Nothing wrong with some hot soup in this bloody weather. The baroness' words/subtle threat are still ringing in your ears. She might retaliate for refusing her 'offer' later on soooo be reading for anything.

Miss Yuni already had a batch of meds/napkins dangling from a small basket next to your pod. You started to gulp/drink some of them which are fine with an empty stomach.

"Joshann, we needsh to talksh." Maq was brushing her teeth vigorously making sure not to drop the toothpaste on the floor. Well, at least she is not eating it. Why did she have to awkwardnly spit in the trash bin?

"What do you-" Another sneeze cutting your short.

"I need the paper Makka I gave you. I ran out of them."

"Eeeehh? You mean pons?" She nodded. She doesn't seem to fully get her head around currency/spending wisely just yet.

>Give it back to her.
>Don't give her anything
>Give her SOME of it

>>4432508

>Have a slight recap with Maq
>"...We're gonna need to either find more info about the Lust guy, OR go hunting a lot... and hope we scounge up enough Makka to find his labyrinth directly. (sniffle)"
>"But until then... I gotta get 'winter clothes' or cold-protection armor so THIS (well-timed sneeze here) doesn't keep happening to me. And... guess what that takes? (hold up some pon) Currency. Money. You use these to barter in society, Maq... Pon for goods or services, and the other way around too."
>"You HAVE to learn to save your money up and spend carefully... because running out means you have to work to earn more, which takes time and effort. Not only that... what if you absolutely need to reach someplace, or get something important? You need pon to pay for transportation... and you need pon to buy things."
>Give her SOME of it
>"There you go. Try to get used... to deciding for yourself when something is worth paying for or not. That's important for... life here in the real world."
Not sure if she's going to school unlike us, but in case she isn't:
>"Anyway... I'm stuck here until I get better. What do you want to do...? Learn more about life on this side?"
Just assume Johann sneezes, coughs, sniffles, or something whenever there's an ellipsis.

"I trust you will put my 'pons' into good use."

"You bet. Ohhh...right." Damn it, you forgot about getting kicked out of M.A.S.S.U after siding with Miss Stag. He did say something about talking to Miss Stag about it. Yep, You are financially jinxed just like Tecig.

"Right , what?"

"Nothing, I-nothing. I will figure it out. Oh, Oh! We need to talk about something BIG." It is about time you tell her about happened in your dreams.

The coast was clear, unlike you, almost everyone was out working and/or having fun "Yes?"

"I met Hnnn. I saw HNNNN." Your tongue twists whenever you try to utter her name. Is this her doing? You brought a pen and a paper and started to write her name down only to chicken scratch on the paper.

"Johann, Are you alright? Should I call Misstre...Miss Yuni?"

"No, no...I just Hnnnn." You had to give up after several failed attempts. It ain't happening. Not even implying her malignant existence.

" What a crippling disease, no wonder all mortals are week and vulnerable ." She couldn't get what is going on with you " I found my vessels' Tome of 'Wuzz Buzz' yesterday. It was hidden well under her personal belongings."

"Huh?" She showed you a glittered notebook "Is that a diary?"

"What is a diary?" asked Maq, slightly confused.

"A recollection of written thoughts and dreams , A memoir."

" Is this Wuzz Buzz safe to read?"

>Yeah, reading it will help you to understand her better.
>Not yet, you wouldn't get half of it. We still got a lot to go
> I don't think it is a good idea to read it, Maq.

"Yes, I must attune myself with this vessel, the secrets of this tome will be a fine start." She left you in a flash, so eager to know more about Maq. That's good....now you can cough and sneeze as you like without grossing her out. Then again, Mouten is used to all sorts of flesh and gore.


-Kitchen: Miss Yuni is preparing a special hot soup

Let's see, You got 1 ICKED message from Miss Noir who wanted you to mod a stream for some kid for 200 Pons and another from White saying that the price of Paloa's price for discovering the labyrinth of lust had dropped from 843 to 711 Makka. Not bad. Shame about the stream job though.

As you were starting your essay studies, Miss Yuni entered the lounge with a stern face " What do you think you are doing?"

"Studying? I got 12 more page to-"

"Go back to your pod. You need bed rest , now. Didn't I make myself clear yesterday?"

"You said...fine." No use arguing with her. Truth to be told, you couldn't do shit with that fever...you just really hate staying in bed. Back to your little sickly prison.

MIDDAY

________________________


Your warden for the day made some fine soup for you. She insisted on sitting on a chair next to your pod while you took your meds and drank your soup. Your guardian was basically babysitting your grown ass.

"Do you feel any better?"

"Miss Yuni, come on, you have to Let me work on that essay." One last ditch effort.

"Forget it, you are not doing anything today." She replied, bringing your more tissues. " Thanks to everyone in the dorm, I have enough pon for a small improvement here...a vintage soda mixing station or a better TV receiver? I will have to blacklist those naughty channels first."

You have a faint memory of those mixing stations, your foster dad used to have one but he never used it actually. It collected dust in the basement. This could be quite interesting, you imagined yourself as a mad soda scientist with crazy experiments...you wonder if experimental soda would be have any effect on you in the Moonworld.

Watching overseas channels could be cool too, you may never know what kind of opportunity is out there.

>The mixing station for sure.
>The TV receiver, We need more channels
>Up to you, Miss Yuni
>Neither, Keep the pons for that rainy day
>Neither, Keep the pons and invest in something more expensive

"More Expensive? hmm.." She paused for a second, her mind already thinking about another candidates which are quite a lot by the looks of it.

"Miss Yuni, could you pass a phone guide to call the shop I have to buy winter clothes in?"

"You forget about Juilan already? I am heading here tonight, Want me to buy you something?"

"I...don't have any pon, well, not enough for half a good jacket any ways." you blew it all on some beefhead pills yesterday.

"I can't have you going out like that, you will get sick again. let me take care of it." She said with a gentle smile while checking on your temprature.

>I don't know If i am able to pay you back honestly.
>Just uuuh, don't bring something really old fashioned, yeah?
>Miss Yuni, Why are you so kind to me? this isn't the first time you save my ass like that.

I don’t think many people have been kind to Johann in his life, maybe except his foster dad. So I feel this is a reasonable question he would ask.

"What do you mean? I am your guardian. I treat everyone here the same. Everyone in this dorm...they only have me. " Her smile started to fade away " Do you know what happened to orphaned kids out there, non-elven orphaned kids?"

"That's the story of my life." jumping from one home to another, shitty heartless adults controlling your life with one good exception.

"No, Johann. You are one of the lucky ones .Kids like you were subjected to a... lot of horrible things. That's why I poured my heart and soul to make my dream, a reality. A place you and all others can call home."

For some reason, this conversation was making her uncomfortable so you just dropped it . You were just not getting used to be treated like an actual human being....especially if the one treating you is an elf.

Ugh, this is so boring, you promised Miss Yuni not to do anything other than resting in the bed like a chump. Bogza and Veishu did check on you making it less of a torture.

Miss Yuni had already left to buy you some clothes plus whatever else she had in mind. Should you....do something? She isn't here.

Well, you are not complaining. The only thing complaining here is your stomach. Should you go for a breakfast with your rather expensive meals or should you just go to the academy with a growling stomach? No leftovers for you.

Ooooh, that is a big ass chair right there. Specifically designed for either an Arachni or a centaur. You are more inclined towards a centaur though; their underside are quite sensitive for some reason so they sit on cushioned chairs more often.

You had one cheerful journalist in making waiting for you " Hey you."

"Morning."

"I have done it, I wrote the best of articles there is." She proclaimed proudly " I am gunning for the front page here but the whole serial killer thing is ...well, more newsworthy." She kept flicking her pen between her fingers.

"Tell me about it." you sighed.

Like a hawk, Gwinyr's eyes preyed upon yours "You....know something about it?"

"Well..." She lowered her voice " I am working on it too, just don't get way over your head especially after..Pew-Pew."

Ah yes, the gun in the park which you gave to an orc crime boss for free. Your deal with Miss Stag had also protected her as well from the Mag boyz " Haven't found anything just yet. My sis tells me the police is hardly lifting a finger in Sanada where the orc girl...you know. They are focusing on the other victim. No updates"

Of course they wouldn't , they only care about the good districts. Koris and Sanada (espically Sanada ) can go and suck a big one.

"I hate to say this but we'll have to wait until that asshat do it again. Not enough threads, you know."

"So you are a detective now?" you asked, sarcastically.

"Ssssssh!" No one was paying attention anyways "No...but yes, If I somehow found some concrete evidence -big or small- I will be a *star* like Lev! Ohhh the recommendations I would get... saving other students also matter too."

"Sure, sure." Nice priorities, Still, good to know she is looking into it too. For now, You just hope her article is strong enough to change minds and hearts.

Speaking of Lev, you should apologize to her. It was a big misunderstanding from your end. Anywho, your teacher had arrived and....

He is an Arachni? You got dunked on. He was huge, at least twice the size of Miss Khakigg . It was supposed to be the other way around but some sub-species break this rule. His lower body had a lot of brown fur with strong, thick legs made for climbing. That guy was beefy in the upper half too wearing just a formal white shirt; all that fur is keeping him warm.

Four of his eyes were stitched out, the rest were abnormally large like a black saucer staring at your very soul...must be some medical condition.

" I am Mr. Jikhob T-Viikh , your home economic teackher. Plekhase read this." Everyone in the class was a given a small sheet which had his own class rules.the font was small AND there were a lot of those rules.

Let's see, some regular student-teacher stuff, blah-blah....wait what is this? A butt-load of hypothetical situations (112 to be exact) which can cause either physical or mental harm to Mr. Jikhob from your end. If any of those situations happened, you/your guardian must compensate him with a certain amount of pons ranging from 100k to 10 million pons??? is that ...an agreement? contract?

Is this even legal? You must sign it before attending his classes.

The Arachni simply nodded, pointing at his bad eyes, ahhhh so he probably lost them in some school-related accident...maybe? Learning from his mistakes, he took a rather extreme countermeasures to ensure he is 100% compensated for any future accident. For a guy of his size, he is sure insecure as hell.

The chosen one refused to sign the paper because of the freaking number, she wanted them to be 100...a 'healthy' number according to her. After going back and forth, Lev just took her backpack and left the class fuming. Bogza left too, He couldn't stomach all those big words and scary conditions. The rest started to sign it .

>say something to your teacher

Now way could could inflict 'cryogenic-induced injury' to this guy but whatever, as long as it gives him some peace of mind.

Once that was done, the class actually began "Can someone tekhll me the districts in Cairth?"

Well, you know a couple but not all of them. So you will stay quiet this time. Someone else gave a well rounded answer " Sanada, Koris, Gabiel , Miden, Espara, and finally Hileyeath"

"Correkhct, Cairth , allow me to explain..."

-Sanada : The poorest district in Cairth, home of the dregs of society and rampant crime. The underground district used to be a powering mining/industrial district.

-Koris: The melting pot of Cairth with many races living together . Home of the lower-middle class with some crime and corruption (better than Sanada anyways)

-Gabiel : home of higher-middle class, Gabiel is considered to be the core of the city due to its large size plus its high population.

-Miden: The new industrial district and the newest addition to the city built at the coast with heavy focus on maritime industry/ transport/shipping. However, Cairth is slowly starting to expand in other industry branches in hopes to enter the competitive scene in a few decades

-Espara: The rich district, home of the upper class. Heavy emphasis on modern architecture. Majority of it are elves.

- Hileyeath: The home of the council, the judges and the elite and a precious Allmother. Hileyeath is the true heart of Cairth, it is almost exclusively elves.

1/2
>>
>>4437256
Next up was population , no idea how or why this is related to home economics but whatever.

Mr. Jikhob said that these numbers are very important and he always put them in all of his exams.

Cairth
-Population: 9.5 Million

Cairthian elves: 42%
Non-Cairthian elves: 18%
Humans: 13%
Orcs: 11%
Dryad :7%
Arachni: 4%
Centaur: 3%
Pixie: 2%

"Your homework for today is a fully detailed comparikhson chart between last decade population and our current population. I expect it to be done this week. Goodbye."

The class huffed and groaned. How is this useful again?

Wait a sec, where is the pixie's desk? somehow you didn't notice its disappearance until now.

>Eh, don't care. you have put a lot of mental energy into that damn thing

"My is word is final, Miss Lev."

"But, P-rincipal sir-r."

"Enough! I have granted you tremendous privileges beyond any other student in the academy. You should be grateful, instead, you bother me with trivial, almost insane demands! " The elf principal struck his cane on the ground fiercely. He had enough of whatever she had to say.

You never saw her squirming like that, her face was about to explode at any moment " I am sorry for wasting your time, sir. May I please leave? I am under...heavy psychological stresses right now."

The old man rolled his eyes "Yes, yes. You may go." Just like that, she left barely holding herself from blowing apart. The principal on the other hands sighed deeply, He had it with whatever they were arguing about.

"Hmm?" His old eyes finally noticed you " I remember you..."

He went through hundreds of names in his head " Johann, you kicked that orc real good." he sounded like he had a frog in his throat with that chuckle. Understandable though; that guy is at least like 200 years old or something.

"Someone had to do it." an honest reply.

" Yes, I am glad my academy has brave kids like you. You are the future, now, Do you want something? An elf can't have a peaceful walk nowadays." Despite having a sour mood, He was willing to listen to anything you had to say.

"My office is too far for these old bones but..." Instead of going back, you and him continued forward towards one of the towers. While doing so, you expressed a small glimpse of problems you were having. He didn't exactly helped you much in this regard saying that 'hard work' will get you whatever you want. Bummer....

"My family owned this castle for generations, it was a gift from a low king. A few hundred years ago, Koris was just a field of green..." The principal poked a piece of brick with his cane, suddenly, a whole freaking door under the guise of some wall was opened....well, it is partially opened. Still, cool as hell.

"Woah." that was unreal.

"The Biythial line is known for its many secret. I, Yurvek Biythial , keep the tradition...come on inside and watch your head, Grubb hadn't fixed the damn lever just yet."

__________________

A billiard table, A jukebox , lots of hunting trophies hanging on the wall and a pristine wine counter....all tucked in a relatively small room. It is like a small hideout...a sanctuary? you don't think many know about this.

"Aaaah, much better." Mr. Yurvek sank into his black leather studded chair, already going for a drink. He did offer you some juice for obvious reasons.

~There is something brilliant and of great worth inside this well hidden room~

" This used to be a hush-hush torture chamber, A lot of people died right here. When I get drunk, I can sometimes hear them screaming for my name demanding vengeance..."

" A lot of secrets, some I don't know about. All the nobles under the low king schemed against each other. This was the norm at the time. Me and Grubb are constantly discovering new nooks and crannies every year. It can be tiresome sometimes. Don't go poking around or you will find yourself trapped in some underground room. It happened before..."

Sheesh, you got it. Good to know in the case you stumbled upon a moonworld version of the academy.

"I wanted to talk to you about something I found in the library..." You were VERY selective about what to say so you won't screw yourself royally. The elf's relaxed expression slowly morphed into a dreadful one.

"That is a mighty accusation you are throwing at me. We are talking about a possible gang member, maybe more in the academy."

" I wish I was joking. I wouldn't have came to you personally if this wasn't the case."

The principal poured another shot " Back in my day, most crimes for non-elves was punished with death. Orcs were much bigger and aggressive 300 years ago, a simple rope wouldn't do the job....they had to use a special kind of rope made of black Arachni silk. I don't know why I am rambling about this." This was maybe a stab at how ''''lax'''' punishments are which are STILL very biased by the way.

You remained silent as he went for a third one " I will look into it, we can't have those thugs in my academy. Don't hesitate to contact me or my secretary again when you find something new."

"I will." Well shoot, you hoped he would let you see the logs. Not today. Who knows, there might be something for you at the end of this.

Your conversation with the principle ended on a high note though you are a tad curious about that shiny item your empyreal eye had caught. You wonder...

Turns out that cane had a special chip or whatever right at the bottom to access this room; He wouldn't want any bloke like you barging in his sweet trophy room with a click of a button. Makes sense.

AFTER SCHOOL
_________________________

Oookay, You got a lot of shit that needs to be done. Some are urgent, others are mehh...It doesn't hurt to make a good list. They are in no particular order:

-Make money: You need to pay the rent which is a whooping 900 pons for that. The city-state forces her to do that...bastards probably take a cut if not all of it.

-Find a stable job: easiest venue to make money plus might get the sweet recommendation.

-Increase your S.C.C: So you can go anywhere at night plus other 'privileges'

-Help Maq: She hasn't found a job and she is struggling with this new life. Spending more time with her will help.

-Increase C.B in general: A hard one to pull out but you shouldn't ignore them. Increasing your C.B will also increase the bonuses from your friends and allies.

-PURGE LUST/find its labyrinth/find the serial killer: Unless you want someone you know to die, you better bust his ass before the deadline.

-SANCTUARY: Talk to Miss Stag, Vartel told you that she might have something something for you.

-Moonworld: for becoming stronger AND for that sweet sweet loot. Furthermore, discover new areas/potential allies in the Moonlands via Paloa's scouting services

-HOMEWORK: You got a project that doesn't want to end and that stupid home economics homework.

-The Mag Boyz: There has to be one or more members of the Mag Boyz in the academy, the principal is going to sniff them out but maybe you can help too. You just don't know how just yet.

-HELP GRUBB: you did your part actually, you are just waiting for Gwinyr's bombastic article.

-Talk to Miss Yuni: It is possible that Miss Stag was Taurshitting you about your guardian's weak heart. You need to be sure.

-Contact Xzon-Zxon: You got a quasi-rare medical condition that they are intrested in. Might rack some pons by being a good lab rat.

-Continue training with Kaz: If you are going to beat that cheater, you are going to need his help.

-Go to that clinic in Gabiel district: for that blood test thing.

-EAT SOMETHING: You damn fool, running on fumes 24/7

Bogza was in another world by the time you found him in the lounge, the orc usually engage in some sort of beefy activity in his spare time to build up his muscles. Seeing him with that blank, unfocused gaze felt really strange.

"Uuuuh, Bogza, you feeling alright?"

"Jonz!" He his glassy eyes were no more as he returned to his previous cheerful self "Yeah, yeah, I'm goodza. Notta worry. You wann do the ting?"

"You know it!"

Thus began another boring round of essay writing.It looks like the Azu-Jundox, A certain group of human refugees who survived the destruction of their previous contient , had wound up at what is known now as Gorith city-state. Unlike the cannibals of last time, these humans had actually started to revere the elves as their savoir...the first and only record of voluntary slavery which doesn't make any sense to you but whatever.

Later known as the Jundoel-farath or the bleeding hands of Jundox. These humans had dedicated their lives to serve the greater families of Gorith in every aspect of lives. They made great thrall armies, greater work force and what not....some took it one step further and started to worship them (especially their low king). The elves of Gorith treated their slaves differently compared to other kingdoms.. across centuries, some sort of kinship had grown between the two classes until the word slave lost its meaning.

Gorith was actually the last remaining city-state to fall under insurmountable odds against the revolutionaries. Nearly 7/8 of its population , humans and elves hand in hand, died trying to fend their precious low king. Nowadays, Gorith faces many sanctions and restrictions imposed by other city states for their 'insolence' during the revolution...they have lost A LOT of territories plus they still refuse to change their ways of life. Yep, the Jundoel-farath still clings to their 'slavery' till this day. Gorith also forbid any non-elves but human to enter their teeny tiny domain.

+++Study

Johann's participation : 70%
Bogza's participation: 30%

14/20 pages done!

Just one more and you are probably done with it. Bogza tried his best too , It wasn't much but it is the thoughts that counts.

" Hey Bogza , got something for you." you wanted to cheer him up ...what better way to do so other than giving him that beefy supplement ?

"Wha-oh, coolza!" His eyes brightened in a flash. You knew he couldn't say no to it " Very thanks, humez. Wann eats 'omething?"

Free food? FREE FOOD?! " Hell yeah!"

_______________________________

Eating with Bogza in the lounge was the greatest thing ever; the thing about orcs that they have a bottomless stomach, Their often muscular bodies require a lot of calories sooo that means more food for you!

You did feel a tad guilty for not spending time with Maq, This was her first day in the academy after all. She locked her pod too, probably? She is becoming more and more introvert. Nah, you are just overexaggerating the situation.

"Ohh man, I am full.." Orc food in general tend to be very bulky with a lot of meat. You heard of some group of orcs who had never eaten any fruits/vegetables...only succulent meat. Their advanced digestive systems can sure take it.

Together, you watched several short montages of Queen Julia wrecking fools left and right. Man, She is goood! You are no Ollad player but you have learned some moves here and there.

You gently knocked on her pod "Maq, It's me. Hellllo?" Nothing for a good spell. You knocked again, just what is wrong with her?

Finally, the slide door inched away only revealing a single wary eye "You okay Maq?"

" I... your world grows harder for me to comprehend. Useless knowledge thrown at me by mature mortals, males of this vessel's age talking behind my the back..."

Slowly, Maq got out of her pod, Wuz Buzz in hand...with some modifications.

"The hell?!" That is one big ass lock on it, totally impractical "Where did you get that??"

"The caretaker provides...This tome is...or rather was greatly cherished by my vessel. I am inclined to protect it." She clutches to the diary as if her life depends on it.

" Why don't you just give it to m-"

"NO, it is MINE." Someone is overly possessive.

"Okay,Okay. Sheesh." No slaps though, that's a win and a half. "Anything else happened?"

"Hags, crones...three of them cornered me today. They laughed, they mocked calling me names that I do not understand. This...frail body betrayed me, It broke in tears. Feeble, useless body! I wanted to choke their laughter with their entrails... I wanted to pluck their sneering eyes and shove it down their throats, tear them limb for limb, leaving them for the crow to feast upon their hapless bodies..I wanted to-to.."

A single tear trickled from her watery eyes. Oh man, what was a rough day for her.

>Don't be such a baby, Where is the badass in you? You were on top of the moonworld food chain, Mouten. You seriously gonna let those hags bring you down??
>You are Strong, Maq. You didn't resort to violence. I am proud of you.

"No, I...don't feel like it. I never had a 'good time' in your twisted realm , never will." Her tone softened a bit the next moment " I do appreciate what you are trying to do, Johann. Reminds me of the time when i threw you in the jaws of danger to train you..."

"We are in it for the long haul. Gotta stick together, you know. We need each other if we wanna bring down that big asshat in the skies. Come on, Maq, Cheer up!"

The gloom and doom in her won't budge " No, I *need* to understand this vessel, her memoirs isn't enough.I must fulfill her wildest dreams..." A dramatic pause , probably non intentional "...The Lyst."

"You mean the list?"

"No ,The Lyst. A record of unattained goals, ones that my vessel couldn't physically or mentally achieve. I must give her some peace of mind by conquering the Lyst once and for all."

>May I see that...'Lyst'?
>It is totally Lyst, Maq probably thought it was cute or something to write it down like that
>No promises from my end but I will try to help you out.

Aside for Maq's rehabilitation, The Lyst also provides several ways to increase your C.B with her. Note that certain objectives in that Lyst are locked behind a rank up so mix and shuffle between them!

_________________________

You spent the rest of the night with Maq talking about silly and mundane stuff to you like transportation for example: That girl almost gave the bus driver all of her pons. Yeeeah, you have to keep working on making her a better 'mortal'. She didn't talk much about the Lyst, maybe for another day.

" Eyyyyyyyy, Itza youuuu!" He wanted to give you a smelly, not-creepy-at-all hobo hug. Nooo thank you, He does remember you from last time. Did you give him pons before so he could fuck off? You are not so sure.

"H-hey, People are trying to sleep here. Can you ... pipe it down...just a tiny bit? "

"I wann see my, my-URRwaaaaa." Without any warning, He puked over the sidewalk. Gross. "A-any Ponza for I?"

"You will spent it on booze, Juuv." An orcish name for the elderly, literally means a cloud-eyed person which is a respectable thing to say in Orcish culture. You also had like 41 pons, not really a lot to spend left and right.

Well, The Hobo had enough howling for today. He was unaware of the huge pile of puke he had just left as a parting gift for the dorm. Disgusting, what are going to do with this pleasant surprise?

Ugh, stuck in traffic. The heavy snow is showing Koris' poor infrastructure, it reminded you of the Moonworld for some reason. You MUST speak with Miss Stag if you want a sanctuary according to her Chrome rival. No way around it. A sanctuary is a MUST for Moonworlding, you don't want someone catching you and Maq vanishing in thin air, that would be very,very problematic.

COOKING

___________________

No drama? Bummer, you had a small fascination with the stage from watching a lot of plays as a kid. Sure, you didn't understand a lot of those fancy long elven words but you found all those outfits and dances to be really neat. Oh well. Cooking it is.

On the plus side, you won't have to starve to death like you usually do. Waaaiiiittt a second, do you have to bring your own ingredients? Frick.

Where is that classroom? Kitchen? It is not in the practice building " Excuse me, I got Cooking as my second,E.A, do you know where it is?"

"Oooh brotha, you inza for a 'ide!" A senior orc student pointed at a lonesome tower claimed by veins and blue three-petaled flowers.

You had been a hidden torture chamber, an ex-dungeon library before sooo A kitchen tower isn't a far fetched idea.

Well what do you know, this *is* a kitchen tower. How can these vines and flowers survive and even flourish in this freezing weather is a mystery to you. Veishu probably knows what's up with them. This Tower had a large sign on it : Tangah's Tantalizing Trove of Tasties. Tangah is an orc's name, right?

Once inside, you were astounded by the dazzling interior. It is like you had entered a medieval movie set. All the modern appliances were purely hidden, this had to be some crazy alchemist tower or something for it to be that spacious. Looks like there is also a greenhouse in the upper half of the tower for your botany teacher. Does this explain the ice-resistant flowers all over the tower?

You expected your dryad friend to be here but nope. In fact, you were the only boy around. The girls gave you a puzzling look as if you weren't supposed to be here. True, most of the boys went straight for Ollad but it is your choice DAMN IT. If you wanna cook then no one is gonna stop you. Their stares and whispers grew as they were waiting for the teacher to arrive.

Blue flowers thriving in the snow? that doesn't seem right. Upon closer inspection, these peculiar flower did have a very thin sheet of .... warm ice? That doesn't make any sense to you. Furthermore, both the vines and the flower had this faint, pulsating glow. Of course, such glow would be more noticeable at night.

Temptation began to creep in, urging you to pick one or two...may be more.

Picking flowers is an asshole thing to do, besides, It might accidentally cement some really bad ideas in their head. Yup, they might spread some rumor about...you know. Don't want any of that, no thank you. Hmmm, these vines can hide a secret or two, the principal warned you of any unwanted exploration, just drop this silly thought. You snapped a quick pic for Veishu, he might just like it.

Back in class, your teacher still hav-

"SUURRRRIIIISE!!!!" Everyone was startled when your cooking teacher burst out of a trapdoor holding a huuuge traditional orcish meat cake with some fine exotic toppings. <How are my little cute dumplings? Aren't you all just sweet!>

An orc speaking normal human language is fine but fluent elven??? that is a whole new level. Speaking of which, Miss Tangah was a bit on the chubby side wearing a long fluffy coat and fur hat, all in white. Her green skin had a slight metallic shine to it, kinda reminded you of a certain crime smile.

That smile, that damn smile on her face. It was too genuine, she could melt hearts with it but that wasn't truly remarkable compared to her...ahem. Let's state the obvious here: Her Ahem was perhaps too big, too big for an orc even. It was physically improbable to maintain an eye contact with her. Your darted your eyes to the wooden floor instead, already blushing like a fucking idiot.

"Sorry, sorry...old habits." She giggled as she put the cake on a large table, "I am Miss Tangah, you-" Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped as she finally noticed you " A boy in MY CLASS?????? OOOOOH I am soooo happy!!!!!"

Oh boy, the girls were already fuming " You must be...Johann? I thought I read it as Johanna, This is great! " Along her unprecedented excitement, a lot of bouncing was at hand.

The orc started to address the class "Thank you, each and every one of you for choosing me as your teacher. I will repay you with nothing but kindness and delicious food! You are all truly wonderful! Now please, introduce yourselves to your sisters...annnd brother! We are now part of a new cozy family."

Everyone proudly did so, It seems that most of the girls here have at least one or two famous chef in the family or something similar. Yep, it is clear now, they HATE your guts for invading their pretty space.

"..." did you just say something wrong? Why is everyone staring at you like that? Whatever man, you are not ashamed of your honesty. Screw those guys.

"We'll take care of you, come on girls! He is part of our little family!" The girls squirmed in their seat, they definitely want nothing with you like at all. This is getting awkward FAST.

"What are we waiting for ? LET'S EAT! Johann, would you do the honours?" Your bodacious teacher had a big ass knife for you to cut through this mouth watering cake. You can already hear low grunts behind your back. Someone whispered the word 'contagious' as well.

You sliced that bad boy in a matter of seconds, the only impressed here was your starry-eyed teacher. In your whole life, you never tasted something like this miracle in the flesh. You plate want painfully empty before you know it.

"Oh, I know what you want my dumpling..." Just like that, Miss Tangah gave your her untouched plate. You ate like freaking hog, that shit was soooo good. This is going to bite you in ass later today. The other girls barely touched this meaty goodness, their loss!

Your teacher spent the rest of the class talking about what you were supposed to do this year as a part of her family. Nothing too complicated so far, there are enough appliances for everyone to cook and to experiment with an assortment of ingredients.

"I have spoken to the principal yesterday and he had finally agree to green light my Local Lovable Loaf Program! You heard me right, my squishy treats! You can sell your homemade goodies at our Kiosk, each aspiring chef who sign this program will get pons, more recipes from me and more!"

More, like a recommendation? Not from her since she is an orc but someone else? this also can be possible source of income , you would have to dedicate some time for it once a week. Signing in without actually doing anything will shatter your teacher's dreams. Don't do that.

>Sign the L.L.L program, you need the pons , the recipes and whatever she is offering.

At least the girls were content about it. Let's be real here, you will never be able to compete with them or anything especially after that 'special' introduction of yours. As for your teacher, She was totally fine with your choice.

Finally, It was over. Felt like an eternity in that old crumbling tower. Girls (doubly so for elves) usually tear each when it comes to competition buuut the whole cooking class had made you public enemy number one. No doubt they will spread baseless lies about you in the next few day. Be prepared.

Another murder, this time at the industrial District of Miden. The victim is a fisherman's daughter. The centaur student , 13, was murdered in a brutal fashion yesterday when she took a nightly stroll at the beach near her home. She was skinned from head to hoof, her corpse was found half buried in sand mangled and broken as well. The twisted murderer had written on single world on her skin....

Espara.

This had sparked a public outrage from this wealthy district, Judge Zeykinth had made a public statement today. He rarely speaks to the public, as he used to be the poster boy of the Judges being the youngest only until Cidgeth had arrived...

"Good people of Cairth. Do not be alarmed, have faith in our strong and vigilant police force. This....twisted defiler shall be caught and properly punished for his crimes. You have my words."

Bold words from him, it should ease the stirring unrest a little bit. Of course he had to say so when the rich elf boys and girls are at danger.

The article didn't actually start with Grubb like at all. Instead, Several famous Carithian known legends and heroes took the first three paragraphs. Each one was shown to have at least one great misdeed that wouldn't fly in the current year.

A promising start, next up was a list of good deeds done by that old janitor. It was a long one, some even predates his boxing career. That girl sure did some digging. She had finally wrapped up this segment by talking about what happened with you in Sanada and how the orc was wholeheartedly willing to defend the same girl who ruined his life.

The final paragraph was perhaps the most touching. Again, it had nothing to do with Grubb...It was all about herself and how much of a glory hound she was for spreading false lies for her previous article, slandering the albino orc who was a victim of circumstances. It takes a lot of balls to admit you are wrong publicly, bonus points for being an elf too.

Her final words pleaded everyone vote justly when the time comes. If this well-rounded article can't move the hearts of students and teachers alike, you don't know what will.

"With that killer article, all we have to do is to wait. "

" I guess. Oh and..." She lowered her voice, whispering the following "...my sister burned through a lot of favors to get a hold of Vurt Vurton. Yes, THE Vurt Vurton."

"Uuuuh, no idea who is this guy." You admitted.

"Ugh, Seriously?" She rolled her eyes " The greatest detective in like forever? He retired 10 years ago, That man is a pretty good author too. "

"Aaaand?" here comes the juicy parts.

"Vurt had this hunch , let me tell you, his hunches are always right. He thinks the killer is a girl actually. One who is trying to copycat the Sub-Dark Nomad."

"Wow.." She was speechless for a couple of seconds "You know, THE WORST serial killer who is STILL at large?"

"Right, I can be a dumb-ass sometimes." She killed/violated ~50 kids a few decades ago. You remember someone talking about it in the bus. Her identity is still a mystery.

" SDN always changed her patterns after few kills, one of them was one student per district...that means..."

" Koris is on the menu. We can't let it happen." You will get them from the inside, Labyrinth style.

"We?" The elf was rightfully confused . Don't get too too excited, you. All in due time.

Turns out, your homework was piss easy, alright! Just copy and paste numbers my dude. One thing you noticed was how non-elves were so few compared to nowadays.

Cairth: XX decades ago

-Population: 4.9 Million

Cairthian elves: 60%
Non-Cairthian elves: 20%
Dryad :10%
Humans: 4%
Orcs: 3%
Arachni: 1%
Centaur: 1%
Pixie: 1%

Give it a couple of decades more, humans and orcs are going to outbreed these smug bastards just you wait...

Home sweet home, Miss Yuni was anxiously waiting for you in the lounge with a small envelope at hand "You wanted to see me, Miss Yuni?"

"Yes! This just came in the mail for you." Now how would send you anything? Nonetheless, you are quite intrigued by it.

Wait a second, you know this stamp too well, It is from your city-state! Ohhh, this is getting interesting...

"
Asha'volel Valued Customer,

The Statal Bank of Yerth deeply apologizes for this horible delay. Contacting you proved to be difficult due to your sudden departure from our city-state.

We would like to inform you that your previous legal guardian Mr. XXXXXX XXX had started an account on your behalf in which he had deposited 20413.14 Pons in 16 different installments. Unfortunately, due to a myriad of financial laws in both city states and our fees from trying to contact you, you have 1000.69 Pons left in your terminated account (due to Non-elf Multi-Bank Tirmth law) plus your banking privileges (which can be transferred to Statal Bank of Cairth or any private bank for ~500-5000 Pons).

This letter should have your pons and the keys to your legal Guardian's safe deposit box. We urge you to unlock its contents before 4/4 or else you will forfeit its contents to the city state of Yerth. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact us for any questions at this number: xxxxxxx

Easy come, easy go. You gave her the pons. Moons above, you hate the banking privileges sooo much. They are a whole new level of Taur-shittery.

While S.S.C isn't in all city-states, Banking Privliges is in almost each one of them. It is the only way for both Statal and private banks remain in power. The more money you have, the more powerful your B.P is allowing you to buy certain products, skip long queues, affect the production of certain movies...it is all about the high roller life, a VIP access to everything. There are even some hidden B.P for those touching the skies with their billions upon trillions of pons....some of which is definitely illegal. The elite of the elite, like some individuals who could influence the council's decisions, head of industrial empires and so on.

You don't know about the box. Why didn't he tell you about this before? The man had his secrets, you still miss him.

Well, that was a mixed bag. you reckon you could apologize to Lev right now if you have the time for it.

-Garden: Veishu is meditating

"Hi, this Kessika Burn from Xzon-Zxon's customer service, the future is now! How may I help you?"

" I got a case of... Juao-hyper Keratinized lingual Hostosies from eating one of your stupid TV dinner." You are not hiding it. You are pissed.

" Terribly sorry about your current condition. You are unable to sue Xzon-Zxon in any shape or form. Everything is written on the back, by consuming our product, you agree to our terms and services." Her words whizzed in your ear like a bullet, damn she talks fast.

"I just want it gone, damn it! Give me money or whatever."

"I see, We appropriate your initiative to further our research. First, we will have to confirm your condition by sending a field specialist to your location. If your condition is within our research intrest, you will proceed to our experimental research facility for roughly three days where we will perform various tests with a weekly follow up for a single month. You will be adequately compensated."

"The fuck? you realize I am a student, right? What if my condition doesn't tickle your balls, huh? you are just gonna leave me like that???" This is getting ridiculous!

"We will provide free treatment either ways. You can choose a bi-weekly session for a month instead of staying of in our facility."

Maq should also come with you on this one, you found her trying nail polishing her face "This war paint is useless..."

One acetone later, you went to the White Stag where its withered owner was smoking more hookah outside, She didn't give a flipping fuck about the heavy snow slowly claiming Koris.

"Ah the lovebirds, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Horace was standing next to her, unphased by the whitefall.

" Vartel said you might have something for me?" You ignored her previous remark. You must focus on the important stuff first.

"Oh hoo, yes!" She cracked a laugh "Last time I spoke to that chrome pig on the phone, I choked one of his 'bulls' to death under my thighs. He likes to send his bulls to widows or any girl by herself... so his bulls can have some 'fun' before the hit, too bad I was too much for that big bad orc, why are you sweating, boy?"

"N-nothing!" pretty sure she could hear the thuds of your heart.

" Point is: Not only he directly called me..he also asks me to take care of some nobody. You got friends in high places, boy....used to at least. Unless, we got someone playing with fire."

>Call him if you don't trust me

"So? You and your feisty girlfriend get some peace of mind instead. All it takes is one bullet to the back of the head, I am the one keeping Mag boyz's disgusting trigger fingers in check."

"..." Horace ears perked up; a police siren in the distance " They took the bait."

" Predictable, no one sells drugs in my turf. No. One. As for you..." She shifted her attention back to you and Maq " You got your wish, see that garage over there?"

Miss Stagg pointed at a seemingly abandoned two-story lot on the opposite side of the Spice shop " Here , catch."

You caught it in the like a pro, it sure felt good " I keep all sorts of old trash and junk there. It is now your problem. Clean it up and get rid of whatever, got that?"

"Thanks Ma'am." Alright! Some progress.

"Sanctuary..." Maq muttered.

"You both gotta pull your weight. I got two separate jobs for you two tomorrow. Come back to me after school. I'll take no for an answer."

A job for Maq? That can be dangerous for her in her current state. Then again, trial by fire works... sometimes.

" Good, You will get paid for it so don't cry your heart out, boy."

"Will your errand endanger our lives? I would like to keep my vessel intact." Maq asked, all serious.

The dryad laughed for a solid minute, even Horace managed to crack a smile from Maq's strange choice of words " I am not sending you to the frontlines, girl. You sure are a weird couple...now, Is that all? I got an important call to make."

Wherever you go, you must clean. You are destined to be a janitor at this point. Jokes aside, you opened the garage. Holy hell, that place is maze of boxes and random junk. This is gonna take a while.

You went back and forth from the dorm to get buckets of water and some cleaning supplies. You did all the heavy work while Maq kept watching.

There was a broken chair with some restraints on them but other than that, there wasn't anything too too suspicious.

Well, you take that back.

You found an old folded picture of Two dryads surrounded by gore and mangled bodies of elves? orcs? hard to tell. First one was flowerless dryad with long twisted horns and quite the body, she was holding a cig on one hand and a crying child on the other hand.

The child was all bloodied up with small bits of flesh and grey matter over her once white dress. She had beautiful green hair with several blooming flowers, beneath her feet, a shotgun had left a trail of smoke, you could spot several spent shells on the floor.

On the back, someone had written these words: " Remember what they have taken from you."

At any case, this old picture is glowing like real hard. What should you do with it?

The pic belonged to her, you gonna need some context though. It was a colossal task but you managed to clean the garage. You did box some of that junk mainly old books and what not in case Miss Stag wants them or something. It was a new experience for Maq, you have high hopes that she had learned something from you. Now, you can Moonworld whenever you like after all this nonsense.

The Orc was actually having a friendly chat with Tecig by his police car "...ssooo you are just baby sitting her?"

" Ye, her 'equests are pretta weird, brotha. Gettin' tired of her calls. Sheza strange kid, always talkin' to 'erself."

"Why you? Girls like her would want a whole squad of elven police officers."

"She picka muh badge number: 00100100CCAA, said twas perfect."

"Oh heyyy, Champ." Tecig finally noticed you "What are you doing out here in the cold?"

"I dunno, I just came by." you replied.

"Well, I was checking on Mr. Gonshak over here, thought to myself: A couple of home made donuts and some hot coffee will make his day just a little more bearable, that snow is piling in real fast. Moondust with snow is bad news."

"Mucha appreciated." The police officer took a sip, that sweet warmth rushing through his body. Police uniforms aren't exactly good for this weather. CPD should go for their winter uniform in the next few days. For some reason, certain city states takes pride into designing unique outfit for its police officers/firefighters/other. The result can be pretty outlandish, Juilan would weep if he saw Nileth's police uniform.

"Howa da acadez? Did the fencing thing?"

"Working on it. " It has been a while since you saw his asshole partner.

What he said

>>4451479
>>4451484

"They used to do a lot of crazy shit back in the day too, remember the Six-Shakes? now THAT was brutal." The elf gave Gonshak a nudge.

"Ye,ye...great idea to putza modified Moondust in de food. I knew a brotha whose sister got it, paralyzed down the waista. Wot they get? 100k ponz. Lukhsha Mogdraal!"

Giant corporations blobs like these are backed by one if not several city-state. They are literally above the law. A scandal? just slap some 'regulations' and call it a day.

Unfortunately , Gonshak spends most of his time here so he knows little about the case of the supposed killer. HOWEVER, He knows that after Judge Zeykinth's promise, several positions within the police department are on the line especially the higher ups. They were given an ultimatum: Find the fucker or lose your jobs.

You went straight to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a very wild day with whatever Miss Stag wants you to do.

Someone was feeling very, very generous this morning; He put 1000 pons in the donation box. Miss Yuni didn't want him to spend all that pon in one go but he straight up refused to take any of his money back. That's good to hear, you all need people like him around.

The Moons have aligned today, there is actually some food in the fridge. You won't have to starve and/or to beg. Buying food is for chumps anyways, freeloader life is the best.

"Woah..." Everyone was surprised by that huge ass telescope built on the rooftop of the building next to Alute. Pretty sure this the same one Lev is residing at. You really should apologize to her when you have the time for it.

"Hey....am I interrupting something?" Leviarine kept muttering to herself as she was swamped by piles and piles of books, both old and new. All of them were related to Luno-Astrology.

"23.321...that means. Something isn't right, Tannisthean's method? No,no,no...won't work eithe-GAH!" It was about time she noticed you after you cleared your throat.

Miss Perfect took off her gloves and wore a new pair just so she could grab her panic necklace " I am warning you, L-leave me alone! You..you simpleton!"

>Simpleton? Really? That is the best you got?
>[Try to understand the hell she is looking for ] [Study 5]

I don't want to say that it was all a joke, since I don't want to lie to her about this. And I think it'd be cool to do the Moon Arcana thing where you're a weird, mysterious person who cryptically drops major info. Not sure if this write in is the right way to do that though

" I... see." Something was on her mind. " As you might have guessed it, My social interaction skills are quite limited... I am not a people's person."

A sigh of defeat escaped her petit lips "When you said there is something weird in the moon...Did you really mean it?"

Oh shit, She can see Ruin? Wait,wait...don't fuck this one up " I dunno, maybe? you know how Moonshot fucks you over. We don't have your special glands. "

" This might be a mere coincidence but I have detected some strange anomalies in the last convergence...they don't make any sense! I showed them to my...peers but they dismissed them entirely!" Searing pain engulfed her voice as she continued " Numbers never lie, I will prove my theorem one way or another even if I'll have to invent my own method."

" Want some help?"

" You have a degree in Tannisthean Abstractism ? Theoretical Estocism? Avant-Garde Neo-Lunoism? Your intellect is lacking."

"..."

It took Lev several seconds to realize what she had said " This is why I don't have any friends. Sorry, I tend to get very possessive of my field of study. It is all what I have in this world, really."

"Hey, I am the one saying sorry here, not you."

"I suppose," She took off her gloves for a new pair "Your apology is accepted. I won't press the panic button unless you decided to physically contact me."

>Fair enough.

Gotta make use of those sweet historical lore:
The third Traitor was Lelishriel. 'The Charred Harlot 'The betrayer of Kin' 'The Fallen Priestess' they called it.

Considered by many as the true first traitor, her tale had a healthy mix of truth and myth with no accurate accounts on what really happened. During the pre-monarchical days of Cairth, the elven tribes was ruled by their religious figures. Priestesses of the moon, Moon-weds who could read the fate of many with their connection to the Satha moon.

She was the first of very few elven clans who wasn't hostile to arrival of human wanderers who survived the catastrophic destruction their sunken isles in the far north. In fact, She sheltered many humans in within her lands proclaiming that the Moon Satha gave her a holy order to protect the humans. That didn't go well with the other clans who had suffered from constant orc raids while Cairth itself was unscathed from the patchskin.

Her final mistake was to bed with a human she adored declaring that both elves and humans should live in harmony. All Moon-Weds were virgins, they belonged to Satha only. She was branded a traitor by both her clansmen and other tribes. Her lover as well as all of the human refuges were slaughtered, their corpses were used as kindling for the grand stake specifically built for the moon priestess.

Legend tells that as she burned instead of screaming in pain her voice sang out a serene melody until she no longer drew breath. The souls of other humans were her risen from the death a spirits of vengeance leveling Cairth to the ground. Others say that Satha wouldn't let its bride die so easily, It gifted her the power to manipulate fire to hurl it back at these blasphemers.

Cairth was indeed destroyed in a great fire after her death . The most plausible cause here was that the fire went out of control. Some Luno-astrologists suggested a rare flammable Moondust from Satha which destroyed Cairth instead. Regardless, Her legacy lives on today in the form of scandalous poems of forbidden lust and rebellion against the elven norm by the now-extinct Ryukaa Elves and their outlandish poem school. Almost all of their horrible secrets are buried in secrets archives away from public eyes.

"You mean Lelishriel? Oh please, it is a fabricated story. Mooondust is an autonomous phenomenon, all Luno-astrologists who supported this 'myth' should apologize." She was very offended by your words so much so that she picked a relatively large book just for you "Here, educate yourself before spouting nonsense."

- A Rancid Recollection of Moondust , Part I [Luno-Astrology] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-]
A book written by the eccentric, mentally unstable Luno-Astrologist Hurcea Tannis which beautifully describe all sorts of Moondust in a unique, abstract style.

Seems like this is one of those membership books but hot damn the book never ends, can you gobble it up in a span of one week?

For once, you and Maq caught the same bus, you two chatted for a bit. She was very careful not to talk about the Lyst for some reason. Nevertheless, It is good to see her getting more and more accustomed to your world.

+Maq

The two of you went straight for the White Stag. Horace waiting for you, He led you to the narrow insides of the massage parlor. Yep, It was that interrogation room once more.

Miss Stag had set three chairs; two for you and Maq and another for this guy, a human roughly your age but with streetsmart written all over his scarred face. Spiky hair too. So many rings and tattoos, blegh.

" Good, you are here," said Miss Stag " Red, this is Johann and Maq, your partners in crime."

"Is this wise of ya , Boss? No offense but eehh your hot boyo flies alone." Weird douchy accent but ok.

One glare was enough for him to reconsider, He proceeded to lick his hand before extending "Don't muck it up, will ya, uppsta? "

Disgusting and Slimy, uggggh. Maq had no problem licking her hand.

"Oooh, What an iron grip. Feisty one, almost break me arm. Boss, ya still know to pick your lads n lassies."

"I will flay your ink-riddled arm and strangle you with your own skin if you dare and endanger our lives." Maq calmly stated. The result was predictable.

"Ohohohohohoh~ Is this what our fancy kniven overlords teach nowadays or ya just bleedin that edge?? This is gold, pure gol-"

"Enough." Miss Stag was getting impatient. " Ella's Megamarket. There is a cashier there named Unsen Aasja, dumb Ashling owes both the Underdon and Vartel 10 stacks each, today is the deadline. "

"Yer heart is bleedin too much for the simplefolk, Boss."

"I know, She came to me asking for help. The pig on a stick can be dealt with.... he likes his 'interests' and 'favors' The Underdon, however, is a disgusting son of Gygag. He will whore her out....or worse. Besides, we could use some eyes in that creepy megamarket. Boy, are you even listening?"

"The three of you need to create a distraction when you 'checkout'. Her cash register should be no.24. " Ah, so she wants you and the gang to create a small opening for her men to speak with this Unsen. Anywhere like her home isn't safe with two crime bosses breathing down your neck. Got it.

"Forgettin something, Boss?" asked Red, He has probably done shit like this before.

"Hmm? Oh yes, there should be a least one of Vartel's little birds around. The Underdon is too lazy for anything above Sanada. Vartel's man should be an orc most likely, If you can spot him, I will throw in a little bonus for you three. Let me hear your best idea of distraction..." The Dryad started with you . Red probably had a foolproof plan in mind but since this was your first time, Miss Stag wanted to hear your opinion on the matter.

" Poor idea, horrible one too. I don't want any of you to get caught by the police because of some vandalism spree. Getting you out will be a hassle...and it will cost you. Any OTHER ideas?"

" Boss, I tell ya there is spark between them two, Let'em buy whateva as lovey dovey couple and I'll be her arse hole ex crashin their anniversary plans. Me n him gets into a lil tangle, in the fightin, our hotheaded lass tries to break us apart when she spills some oil, juice whateva on the girl. She'll have to change them in a private room.

"Oil, boyo. Cooking oil. Very nasty, takes ages to get out. Iced coffee is water-tip-tok-toe and it is gone."

"Very promising, " She shifted her attention to Maq, " What is on your mind, girl?"

" Their Machination boxes swallow your paper Mak-pons, it must be rendered useless, temporarily at the very least. Empty your bowels on it and your target as well." she said calmly. "The laws of this land has no punishment for such involuntary bodily acts.

"You mean...throw up? That's disg-"

You have no idea what he had just said but something in you is realllly starting to hate this guy.

"Who am I supposed to look for again?"

" Yer typical half wit brute, uppsta. Flesh-Flesh Balloons and pea-sized brain, Don't talk'im, Don't spook'im, he'll know."

The place wasn't actually far from your street, roughly a 15 minute walk. No wonder Tecig is getting financially shafted,no way he could compete with this Goliath or its low, low prices. The Megamarket was like third the size of the silver stadium excluding the parking space.

All the staff were exclusively girls, very...attractive in tight pink dresses but equally creepy with that white porcelain mask. Since Ella is a pixie owned business, There was a LOT of buzzing. This consumerism maze had tons of staff members mainly those 'Ella's Maids'

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~ Welcome to Ella's <3, first visit? do you like to hire one of our many beautiful Maids to assist you in your shopping? Do you have a membership card? Are you interested in..."

Red sighed as you two (especially Maq) were overwhelmed by her constant bombardments. He stepped in to interrupt her "Here, Buy something nice for yer lass.."

The hard ass slipped 300 pons in your hands, you barely noticed them in the first place.

"Feeling a tad thirsty, buy me a good cup of Mizzitup. Easy on the mix, lad. Me stomach in a bit rumbly today."

You were about to protest when you spotted a sign for a...juice station? Gotta admit, that is pretty clever and bold for him. You and Maq have to create the perfect mix for his poor, poor stomach.

TUTORIAL No.37

「 Mizzitup」

Ella's own juicing station where customers can mix up three to five ingredients creating their ultimate beverage...or their nightmarish abominable goop.

Ingredients are reshuffled every day, some days however have rare or exotic ingredient among other offers.

Each Mizzitup is an experimental consumable which can grant various bonuses or debuffs in social life or during moonworlding. The more ingredients in the Mizzitup, the more severe its effect will be.

Comics could work for Maq , If she can't slice and dice people, she might as well get her daily dose of violence via these hilariously edgy comics. Oh man, you haven't touched a comic in years. It is always the same pattern; Elves are good and non-elves are bad. Maybe times has changed? What kind of comic series are you gonna buy?

-The Last Gnawmurai : One of these anthropomorphic comics with animals for efloids. A rat Gnawmurai on a quest of vengeance in a post apocalyptic world. Pretty Gorey with like no substance at all.

- Starworld Saga: Forlon's Folly: Huh, That's the game Mestaph was playing. Words Words WORDS. Very story heavy comic about a band of Mercs hopping from on system to another.

-Dungeon of the Sendless: A single cyborg was rebooted in an empty alien world, sounds pretty boring but the artstyle is pretty neat. Maq might self reflect a bit while reading it.

"I miss those days to-did you just called me 'cute'?"

"Oh crap. Please, no more slaps." you begged. At least not on the same cheek.

"I appreciate your flawed compliment." That wasn't her intention this time, thankfully.

"...what is this tome about?" you had to explain to her another normal aspect of life.

"Interesting way of mortals coping with their fragility and their fleeting existence. What is this the other tome about? Why its hard leather has images of flowers and white sky vermins?"

"Oh this? Some crappy romance novel. Use it to cover what you are actually reading. " That's 200 pons down the drain, you got enough for that drink, good.

Since this is a mega market with possibly a couple hundreds of people in it, finding that tail is harder than finding a needle in a pixie's stash. You could try to narrow it down by scanning the area close to your target. The Tail should be within her field of view.

After some meticulous exclusion of possible tails, you narrowed it down to five individuals, they are:

1/2
>>
>>4456008
>>4455109
>>4455081
>>4455065


-The Kitiineer: Or a Kitt, both terms are used for someone who is obsessed with Kitiinaaga culture to the point that it reshapes his/her identity. A human slightly younger than you plastered from head to toe with idol products...pretty embarrassing really. That guy had no sense of self awareness or hygiene for that matter. His cart is full of trashy food and loads and loads of comics and DVDs. He is definitely crossing that 5000 pons threshold. There are plenty of reasons to exclude him from the list; he is fat, smelly and already loaded with pons, not really Vartel Material buuut he is the most stalker-like compared to the rest and he is doing a damn fine job at it too.

The Slab: Your typical bearded orc meathead with more brawns than brains for sure. He is bald, tall who is really mentally flexing on everyone by wearing tight clothes. Lots of unwanted bulges too bleeeugh. His cart has several....dubious merchandise from the adult section which is a no-go zone for you. Can't believe they sell this shit in Ella, ANYWAYS, The orc just keeps standing close to your target, Maybe he is the one? his manly physique does fit the bill but He is not really doing the whole stalker thing very well. Combine that with his shopping cart....eeeeh?

-The Bad Boy: Oh look, Red's orcish cousin is here, that blue orc has street thug written all over him. He is the only one with a harem of Ella's Maids around assisting him in his ''''''''shopping''''''''' , his cart is freaking empty for fuck sake. What he is trying to achieve? He seems to be actively taunting your target....or one of the cashiers next to her. Is he who you are looking for? He gives you a Mag boyz vibe for sure....maybe Vartel hired this useful idiot to stalk him but maaaan he sucks at it.

- The Student? : You recognize this girl...She is one of the elves in your International Cooking class. She is nearby at the comic books section pretending to read some superhero nonsense, she is just peeking every now and then. That girl is the worst by far, she is blushing AND sweating like a pig. Very weird behavior for the least suspicious person of the bunch. Vartel might have forced her to be his chrome tail, this is very plausible.

The insider? : There is a pixie Ella's maid who is doing Jack Taur around, She already rejected three possible customers saying she on a 'break'. Those girls earns double if not triple their wages via tips, no way she could turn down a customer like that. Besides, A break doesn't take THAT long. Sadly, you can't tell much due to her rigid bask but her behavior is certainly fishy.

Who is your guy/gal?

Cooking elf and weeb. Any other idea? Red salud it would a big orc. Honestly I would just prepare the drink and ser how they would react. The insider might be a concerned friend. If so, when Ushen is puked on she will accompany her.

>>The Bad Boy
I’m going with him.
>>
>>4456029
>>4456013
>Bad boy
But I would like to see what Slab and her coworker do when she is puked on
>>
>>4456044
If Red ask, we could tell him that the Mag Boyz were disciplined by Vartel. Keeping an eye on debtors all day long seems like punishment duty.
>>
>>4456013
>The Kitiineer: Or a Kitt, both terms are used for someone who is obsessed with Kitiinaaga culture to the point that it reshapes his/her identity.

Vartel's a meathead, but he's not dumb. No way he'd put a swoll orc on spy duty. He'd get somebody that'd be unexpected. A weeb creep makes a good spy imo, since he can get away with being a creepy stalker type and naturally wards off people wanting to investigate him with his disgustingness. Then again, it's the most likely to maybe get kicked out of the store altogether, but I'm guessing with the "qtmaids" employees, people like him are welcome. I'd like to hear what you guys think though
>>
>>4456073
I could see him going for that 300 iq play, but red has stated we should expect a stupid orc, and the explanation of a disgraced Mag Boy sent here in punishment duty fits top neatly in my head
>>
>>4456039
>>4456044
>>4456077
>>4456073


All bets on the bad boy, you went to tell Red about his brother from another mother "That's the one, he looks like a Mag Boyz and a half."

"Ahh, these Cob-slurpers are a pain in Boss' tight arse, mmmm..." He smiled to himself for a second " Vartel's lackeys gets themselves caught or killed all the time. Might be a race thing, heheh."

"Sooo is this our guy or not?"

"Patience, boyo, Stag's got someone to check on him. When the gig's over. We'll know." Huh, neat.

Now it is time to go to the Juice station station and acquire the strongest Mizzitup. Can Red handle it? probably not. The station had dozens of customers already despite having several mixing stations. Wow, a ticket for your turn. Great.

Ten minutes later, you finally get to see what all this fuss is about. An Ella's Maid in an impractical ornate dress with lots of frills and laces greeting you with her cutesy/grating voice "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~ , Mizzitup,up,up,up <33333"

"...Fine." For once, Maq showed some self control. Good to know.

You met up with Red near cash register 24 " Masterfully done, Uppsta. Let's start this show.... bottoms up!"

The madman actually chugged the whole thing in one go. Not a second later, the painted the cash register and your target brown avoiding Maq's new comic books. You looked around for any possible reaction from the other potential suspects but you couldn't find most of them with so many people around. Damn it.

Well, Maq's plan worked perfectly, the Janitors (who were also in pink dresss) arrived cleaning this miss while Miss Stag's potential insider left to clean this unholy puke off her dress.

_____________________

The three of you left the Megamarket without a hair of trouble; turns out , throwing up from Mizzitup is not uncommon....lots of stupid people around here trying new shit. Maq slightly backpedaled on her previous decision after watching Red puke his heart out.

"Test?" You raised an eyebrow.

" Was all of this some ruse? " Maq wasn't pleased either.

"Do you honestly think I will risk lives in the hands of some kids? Everyone worked for me from the start even the ashling. I wanted to see how you and your girl would react and follow my orders. You didn't take Red's money for yourself, you spotted possible chrome tails for me. You lovebirds have some potential..."

"Vartel likes a healthy mix of subtly and efficiency. It was her co-worker who was supposed to be the chrome tail. I don't expect you to succeed in your first time."

"Don't spend it in on place, don't trust the golden leeches either." You assume she meant all those money-grubbing banks.

"Thanks, Miss Stag."

"Your paper currency should do. Do not trick us again." Maq nearly snatched it from her hands.

" Your tongue is sharp, girl. Too sharp perhaps, Don't forget who is in charge here or I will remind you with more than just words...."

" Are yon on pixie dust, girl? No, I was talking about a centaur down in Sadana who knew about an ongoing drug operation ran by the Underdon, He fed her to his Gygag twin 'princesses'. Things like this happen a lot around here. Poor girl."

Miss Stag was about to leave, you could squirm one question out of her.

Something was strange in the child's eyes. It wasn't just pain, It was more than that...

Innocence Lost.

"Miss Stag, did your mother forced you to kill everyone in this picture?"

"Aren't you a clever boy?" Miss Stag slowly clapped " Keep asking more questions and you might just join them..."

This was your queue to leave while you still can.

"Eyyyy! Gimme a five!" Tecig was excited to see you.

"Right back at ya!" If only Veishu could do such a very simple bro-esque task.

"Sooo, you are here to work? Could use more hands 24/7. Arm grafts, multi-limb menace like The Novacracker from Star Bores." Working in Alute will definitely increase your celestial bond with him. Just a reminder.

We have skill 2, we should be able to Stitch Alute's logo in our aprons. I also wonder about the origin of the name. Probably an obscure referencie.

- Alute had several customers today...

++ Socialize
+++ Tecig

"Thanks, do come again." That last customer was pretty weird; burning 15 minutes in the store just for a piece of candy? Whatever, Job's done.

"I went to Ella after school, how can you keep up with their prices and variety ?"

"I don't, Store is bleeding money for months now." He admitted " Fingers crossed for a good Satha Lunar festivities. I might just bounce back up a bit when it is done."

"The what now?"

"Oh right, you don't know...See, Here in Cairth, we celebrate the first convergence of the elven moon Satha. Lots of cakes for the occasion."

Huh, back in your home city state, It is called Satharminn...just a single day of celebration not a fully bloody week. Neat.

"How do you want your payment?"

We are swimming in pons boys.

>Browse food items

The Faren Foul Soup is actually a pretty good item once we get to the dungeon. It is a - in Makka drop, but it gives +++ defense and 30% HP. Pretty good.
>>
well I fucked it up, guess I will settle with this new trip code.
>>
>>4459126
>In food
>Browse food items

If we play this right, foods are more valuable than pons because we can use food to increase the time in the moonworld or outright get more Makka (i.e. pons) from it
>>
>>4459172
Now that you talk about Moonworld, should we discuss strategies for it, specially taking into account the buffs we have gotten from Maq. Heavy snow will make it a bitch to explore, but perhaps the hell worm will be enough to give us enough Makka to get the killer dungeon in one go, as long as we play our cards right.

Magic is frankly very very resource intensive to use, as it uses TIME, which isn´t renewable with items. And Moonless is worse. If we don´t have a high chance to proc weak, I suggest we forget about spells. However, we have gotten 2 Attack increases from Maq, so attacking would be a good way to proc ONE-SHOT, especially if we use it against weak creatures such as Wrathful eyes.

>>4459186
I think you're overrating the cost of magic. It uses time, but there are scenarios where not using it to end fights costs us HP or gives enemies time to status effect us, which can be worse. It's suboptimal, but has a niche. And 1-shotting might not be the best thing to do. 3 shotting increases xp/$ gain, which is probably better if we're grinding weak enemies, and 2 shotting's buff sounds great for a situation where you have a strong enemy with weak minions.

For Moonworlding, I think our best bet is to do some grinding using hellworms and other items, maybe get a better weapon if we can find/buy it, and then buy Labyrinth access. Ideally we would have 2 sets of explorations/grindings and 2 opportunities to do the Labyrinth, but we'll have to see with time constraints.

For CB's, Maq/Mouten's seems the best because we're a primarily phys oriented character, but I don't think we'll get another raise in time. Everyone seemed to go nuts when they heard Stag had something about "time saving", which is apparently really good in Persona games, but I'm not sure if it'll help us out here. I really think our best bet is to put CB building on pause and focus on Moonworld stuff.

And the single 5 pack of heart attack chicken so we don't starve to death

142 is a lot of pons for us, but it is 5 days of food and some good buffs if we need them

I can't believe Johann is gonna have a heart attack instead of hypothermia, or being executed by a gang squad, or slapped so hard his neck snaps, or starvation, or some other meme death method.

Yes, good. More discussion about Moonworlding and finishing the serial killer shit before the deadline. Once we get through this we have to manage time wisely more than usual. We got more CBs to find, but also preexisting CBs to rank up already. Also survival shit like managing hunger and not getting our asses killed by rival gangs. Also schoolwork and autism.

+ 1 Faren Foul Soup [Ingredients]

+ 5 Choco-Bobo
-142 pons
269 pons

You left Alute thinking about that free week. Oh man, this is going to be sooo good! First thing to come to mind was Maq, this period should be enough to set her on the right track.

2/19 [ 11 DAYS LEFT TO PURGE LUST]
TUESDAY
HESED/ NETZA
Morning
Heavy Snow
「Continue Maq's rehabilitation 」
「 White Stag's Rank up on hold」
「Find more information about the killer OR have enough Makka to locate his labyrinth.」
「Increase your S.S.C in order to meet Miss Khakigg in her sister's clinic 」

You swore Satha was up last night (under the eyes of Ruin in Form ), now it is Hesed? Something isn't right. Then again, Tecig talked about the festivities.... he can't be wrong about this, can he?

Bleh, Whatever, you munched down your heart-attack inducing breakfast and threw yourself in the first bus you could catch.

________________________________

"...for the first time since four decades ago, A state of emergency is declared in Espara district. Over 500 surveillance drone has been deployed to-" The radio kept blabbering about all sorts of precautions taken in the rich district.

People were getting restless, it was a two fold problem; you got CPD doing what they can to protect the rich and the whole serial killer possibly going for Koris next.

"Hmm?" You got a new message from @goopy

Hello, User Johann Fol, we got some great news for you! From the heart of Cairth, A new sister APP will be available in the following days<

Iustitia Aurum<

This app will host all sorts of news related to our favorite Judge: Judge Cidgeth! Where all of his fans can chat together and talk about how to fix our society. The founders of this app has taken intrest in you and would like you to join the Columnae-Tier group. This invitation will expire in ten minutes after opening this message<

Aaaah, you get it. They want you because you were on TV that time when you hit ex-mag boyz. This was sent directly by Goopy so there is no way this is some scam. Gotta decide fast.

>Download this app. sounds pretty cool
>Waste of memory space
>>
>>4459291
Johann is a skinny boi, he will not suffer from a heart attack. The dorm TP supplies may be strained, but it is a price I'm willing to have others pay.

And I think we're good enough on C.B.'s so far, since getting any more would require too much of an investment. Everything can wait until after the Lust is taken care of or done in "off" periods (like finishing the book in the library).
>>

>Download this app. sounds pretty cool
Why not

>>4459320
>Download this app. sounds pretty cool
The Cid is a based Judge anyway, why not?

I think this is a good spot to end this thread. Next time, we will start a new thread.
