The Dark Lord has lost, defeated by the Heroes. Where once there was a mighty empire, now there is only cursed land, waiting to be reclaimed and subjugated by the powers of light, and scattered monsters prowling aimlessly and trying to survive.You are a demon. The mental shackles subjugating your mind to your superiors have been broken in the chaos following the dark forces' complete defeat, and now you're free to act out of your own will.And you sure as fuck don't know where to go from here.You are one of the weakest demons, but even in your current form, you can take on several humans, untrained or with low fighting experience, and win.You derive your power from the souls you collect by slaying humans, elves and other sapient beings. You can spend them to strengthen yourself. Besides regular souls, beings of great power and heroes possess greater souls, which you'll need once you grow sufficiently powerful.Besides souls, you have equipment, objects you will need to gather resources and a skilled craftsman to make for you. Currently, you do not know any, but you will meet some as you explore. Generally speaking, looted equipment is made for people of other races and skillsets, so you will need custom-made pieces the vast majority of the time. You can, however, salvage or modify existing equipment to fit yourself. It would still require some resources and a craftsman, however.Finally, there's your base. Currently, you don't have one, but in the future, creating a place from where to mount expeditions to far lands, house your partners, be they companions or craftsmen, and retreat to and rest in, will be important.OPPORTUNITY LISTComment too long.

We should probably strengthen our mind before we encounter the tower denizens or fight the ghosts. I'd also be interested in the plot point(s) but it's hard to decide against progress.
''He was many a thing to many a person. The wise mentor, who helped the hero on his way; the able wizard, always able to conjure up new tricks and spells; the trustworthy advisor, there to guide the king or queen on their way to greatness; the beloved courtier, whose suggestions always won favour at court; the loyal friend, who stood by through thick and thin; the compassionate healer, who tended to the sick and wounded with care and skill. All of these were masks in one way or the other, and though many spoke of him, none knew him.He was a king, a priest, a merchant and a sorcerer, and yet he was also the dirty man toiling in the fields and the cutthroat lurking in the alleyway. A thousand roles, and yet he always came back with another: the elven prince, the dwarven master craftsman, the orc warchief, the hooded stranger. He was the priest of the sun god in the sweltering jungles of the south and the incarnation of the winter king in the taiga of the frigid north.But what lay beneath? But a malevolence unrivalled, a desire to impose order upon all life, to make this world rigid and unyielding to his whims. And he played his parts well; sometimes he arose, deceived a people into worshipping him, and made their land, their people, and their culture but a part of his vision.Coalition-building might have been his true strength, both in his favour and against him. His efforts led him far, building an empire that stretched from the jungles over the deserts and steppes to the ice caps. From east to west, from north to south, nowhere was truly safe from his reach.And at the centre of it all lay a place most desolate, a blighted landscape, where nought stood but a dark tower. Here he planned, coordinated, plotted and sat upon his throne, in between leading his dark hosts or going out to conduct his eldritch plans and rituals elsewhere.'' https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=The%20Shadow%20Rises%20AnewThe deed was done; a rebellion had been squashed once again, their cavern home rendered uninhabitable by your own toxic fumes. Part of you had wished to crawl through, rip the little leader from his hiding hole, and eat him wholesale.But you elected not to; no, instead you made certain that if there were those who had survived, they would never see the sky again, nor would they hew their way out, for you melted the stone shut.

With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way.

You come into the world on a cold morning in a room that used to be a storehouse.Your mother bleeds on a straw mattress while the midwife works between her legs and your father prays in the hall. He prays standing. Kneeling is hard for him now. His left leg was shattered below the knee two years ago by a mace blow at the siege of Chauvency, and the bone never quite set the right way. He does not limp so much as lurch. He was captured in that same battle, dragged from under his dead horse, and held for a ransom that cost him everything. Everything. The silver plate. The grain stores. The warhorses, all three. The income from two villages, pledged to the abbey of St. Rémy for six years. And the castle -- your great-great-grandfather's castle, the seat of the family for five generations -- signed over to the man who captured him. Sire Gérard de Valenne, who lives there now with his wife and children and hounds, and who nods to your father at mass on Sundays with the faintly superior courtesy reserved for men one has ruined.There is only the manor house now. Stone foundations, timber above, a leaking roof your father lacks the constitution or the silver to mend. A mere forty souls in the village depend on upon him. Yet he serves them well. He hears their complaints, settles their quarrels, forgives their debts even when he shouldn't. The old servants, the ones who knew him from his boyhood and followed him from the relinquished castle, say he is a different man since the siege. They mean it as praise. Certainly, your mother found a new depth of love for him in his weakness, his humiliation. You were, perhaps, the product of it. The midwife holds you up, still bloody, and you scream.She carries you to the hall, where your father turns from his prayers. He takes you in his arms -- carefully, because his grip is not what it once was -- and studies your face with grave attention, as though your destiny were writ in the lines above your eyes and he alone the augur who could decipher them. The midwife watches too. So does old Agnès, your mother's woman, who has opinions about everything and a liberty to air them that could only come from long, trusted service.Naturally, it is Agnès who breaks the peace.>She says you have your father's jaw, set firm, even now, as though daring the world to move you. A proud nature.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

This is a world of bloodthirsty monsters, ever hungry cannibals, bandits, brutal slavers. Wild beasts rule the deserts and plains, survival alone is a grueling struggle. Not even the strong can make it here in this desolate place.There's no history or record of what it was or how it came to be, there's only survival.Your beginnings will be no different. You will not be the chosen one. You’re not great and powerful. You are not the center of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it.Each choice will take you to a part of the world, it will not be safe nor you will find allies nearby. Choose. >The Holy Sword (Not all treasure is worth keeping.

"If you're hurting for muscle bad enough to be offering me a job, I'd say you three are probably fucked." You start. Your gaze falls on the bonedog that's now sniffing around your left ankle. You lift the foot to nudge him away. "You four." "That's Beef Supreme." Says Dog-Spit, as if it were a perfectly obvious name for the drooling hound. At the words, it trots back over to its master and circles him a few times happily. By the size and scars of the thing, you'd say it must be a full grown adult, but you've seen them grow to be much bigger. You scrunch your nose and lower your blade slightly... then slide it back into its sheath. "Well... Fucked or not, I could use the cats. I'll join up now. But I ain't taking orders from a buncha bandits pups fresh off of an ass-beating. You can organize yourselves how you like, but I'm here on even terms. I want a quarter of the income. I'm keeping my sword." You say these things as fact, but cock an eyebrow at the end as if to question the trio. There's a pause. The wind whirls dust around your feet and breezes between you and the others. Dog-Spit nods. "Alright. You're in." You cross your arms. "Great." Another pause. "What now?" You ask. Comment too long.

The Dragonair lunges and the crowd roars. "Thunder Wave!" you shout, and your partner executes the move with singular grace, electricity crackling across the arena floor. The opposing Machamp staggers, muscles seizing, and for one bright moment the match is yours.A kid next to you turns up the volume on his PokéGear, snapping you out of the memory.You're on a bench in Goldenrod Station with your bag between your feet and a promotional "Moocha" going cold in your hand -- MooMoo Milk and a single shot of espresso, Whitney's smiling face on the cup. The kid next to you, ten or eleven with a Sentret perched on his backpack, is watching Pokémon League reruns on a PokéGear screen no bigger than a playing card. It's not one of your matches, nor your Dragonair, from two years ago. You look away, slightly relieved.Goldenrod at rush hour is an intolerable racket of voices, horns, and traffic. Commuters crowd into the Magnet Train platform while a group of young trainers clusters around a map kiosk, backpacks stuffed with Potions and dried Oran Berry trail mix. A recruitment poster for the Goldenrod Gym hangs on the nearest pillar -- Whitney's Miltank grinning beside bold text: THINK YOU'RE TOUGH ENOUGH? You've walked past it three times in three separate locations today.Your PokéGear buzzes in your pocket. The caller ID reads BLACKTHORN GYM and a name that makes you immediately swipe left to dismiss. You slide the PokéGear back into your pocket. Dragonair's Pokéball brushes your wrist as you do so, faintly warm the way it always is. You couldn't bring yourself to box her or trade her away like you did the others. You've been through too much together.The departures board above the main concourse clicks through its rotations, white letters on black tiles shuffling into place. You hitch your bag onto your shoulder and walk toward the board.>You're here for the Magnet Train to Saffron City, then to Lavender Town, to take over the local PokéMart for your sick uncle.>You're here for the ferry to Olivine City. An old friend is in over their head with the PokéMart they bought recently and has asked (begged) for your help.>You're here for the bus to Azalea Town, where the grandma who raised you has kept the local PokéMart running since before you were born.

>>6411024Espurr has long since lost feeling in their extremities. Fresh blood drips incessantly from their nose, their eyes are big and wide, their body is entirely limp save for their tiny, crescent-arched tail, sticking straight up like a lightning rod while they fail even to breathe. While so disconnected from their own body, the Psychic ceases their perception of sight, scent, sound, touch, taste, They can't see the colors beaming to a half-conscious brain, nor smell the sting of sulfur in their lungs and on their tongue, or hear the motions and calls of their allies. In this weightless arena even their ability to feel is limited only to the sharp pain of their tail splitting at the seams as if a wedge is being driven into it. Their mind is demanding something their body lacks, forcing power through a system of vessels and gaps which cannot bear the burden of such an immense workload. Now isn't the time. Not yet.Espurr is an imprecise machine front-loaded with precision tasks in a world of perfect symmetry. They will have to remain this way for a while longer. They and their surroundings may never have been so weightless—save, perhaps, a single moment in history where they could beg to differ—yet the burden placed squarely on their psyche has never been greater. The weight of the world lies atop their head, and they've no means of recompense.The last source of sensory stimuli they can keep hold of is the distant display. An inverse screen, the input of light and output of information. It's their eyes showing them the event as they're pulled further and further from their own point of view into something other. They can do nothing but keep their anomaly trained on that ball, even while pushing it downhill seems an uphill battle. The complex mental calculations are over, it's a simple matter of maintaining this state for a while longer, because they're afraid of what it might mean if they let go. Their fear is a pattern, ingrained in them. It isn't something which can be dissuaded by Magic Powder, only tempered enough to get the job done. '———re —— I?—''N—t ——one —ga—n...'They're doing this for a reason. They just need to bear the discomfort. It has to be enough. Can it be time soon?

>>6392621>>6392617Taking an deep breath, you focused ahead on the enemy vessels, letting more daring, and statistically more suicidal pilots take the front as you fire Linear Gun, aiming for the sub-weapons of an Laurasia-class Ship, the shots not quite reaching their target as the accelerated rounds hit the bottom hull section of the vessel."Striker Squadron, you got incoming!" One of the ship operators shouted into Comms as three GINN were boosting towards the battle line from an lower altitude, "Come on Kid, Evade!" Another Pilot of the Squadron says, You think his name was Mu, says as you fall in tandem with his machine as the two of you move to play Tag with the giant war machines. Bullets fly past as you maneuver as best you could with your wingman as the GINN's try to pick you off with gunfire. Striker 03 suddenly got hit when one of the enemy headed the Squadron off near some debris. Biting your tongue, you had no leisure to mourn as you veered around to at least fight back against tryout foe's, taking aim with Mu and Striker 02 as you nail an enemy with several shots of Linear Gun. One blinds the main camera as a round destroyed monoeye sensor of the machines head while several more were focused on the midsection where the cockpit was, caving it in and piercing out the other side as the machine explodes."Alright! We bagged one! Command, we need some relief from two bodies before we get wiped!" Mu calls to the captain as they acknowledge, sending another unit to help assist, the fixture of the battle, Yggdrasil, slowly going up in flames in tue crossfire, tue space station taking damage as the fighting went on. "The Yggdrasil is burning..." You muse as you attempt to down another GINN, using focused fire to overwhelm them as you destroy both hands with lucky shots, your manipulation of the Linear Gun manually allowed you to get better shots even back on the simulator, despite it taking longer to line up a shot to intercept a target where it was going rather than where it was. Suddenly, you detect something, from off into the distance, something was coming towards the fleet, an mobile suit? Your body reacts as you feel surge of concentrated malice. Several shots fly past where you used to be as Striker 02 was destroyed by the machines gunfire. The new foe seemed to be an enhanced model, bearing extra boosters and thrusters, bearing an rifle that sported an blade bayonet half the length of the regular GINN Heavy Sword."We can't handle this, we should pull back to the support of the Anti-Air Fire!" Mu says as he seemed to have managed to evade as well as you both retreat towards friendly support, but that GINN wasn't going to allow you both to escape that easily as he surges up towards Mu, the Moebius thrust was too slow to escape the enemies grasp as you wondered what to do!?[The Easy Choice or The Hard Choice?]>Continue your retreat, sorry Mu...>Try to knock Mu away from the enemies imminent attack!

MONSTER QUEST 2THE CITY HOLDS ITS BREATH. RECAP TIME!It's been a week since the ROAR OF THE MONSTER KING shook the City, turning many of its inhabitants into MONSTERS. That number included (you)! Latching onto the evil in your heart, the power of the roar has turned you into an elemental being of mold and gamer rage! Hopping from shell to shell, you have spent the last week facing HEROES, resisting the creeping insanity of your new condition, avoiding getting roped into the SECOND MONSTER WAR, breaking into prisons, and finding time to focus on your true enemy. Abysmal video games and shitters who play them! But all this time, doom hanged over your head. MONSTER KING created you and the ones like you with a purpose: to be thralls in the war of his second coming. For a century humans kept the King contained, but clearly, he has regained enough power to make himself known once again. The old guard – monsters who became such purely due to their own evil nature – herd the roar-born ones like you into an army to free the MONSTER KING. You are one of the few ones who know that doing so would spell your enslavement, the borrowed power inside of you giving the King enough control to turn you into nothing more but his minion should he ever truly wake up and be free. To ensure your freedom, you and your minions/friends(?) have agreed to work with a terrifying natural-born monster, IO, who claims that he would take the power of the monster king for himself.RECAP OVER!

>>6397025Also doesn't help that some of the most active/enthusiastic QMs/players here have literally been bullied away from /qst/ by other anons for reasons that are ultimately really trivial. But when traffic slows down so much that the average quest is rocking 4-6 players, just 1 or 2 of them acting like dicks is way harder to ignore. I havent been here terribly long, but I think if mods/jannies had been stricter, sooner, in dealing with bad actors, it would've really helped protect this space.
>>6397057I feel like it's still more of a # of users issue - if there are enough people, the morons naturally get drowned out / ignored
>>6397059Right, I agree - but it's a downward spiral, I guess, is what I mean. As the general population has declined, dickheads have gained a larger relative footprint, making the space less welcoming to new QMs and more tiresome for older ones. Really a shame. Obviously all the different factors at play have been talked about to death in the /qtg/. Just the way of it. I happen to still really like the 4chan interface, though captcha is more of a drag than ever. I have resisted trying out akun because it looks ugly and a little confusing to me, and I mostly mobile post which I suspect exacerbates my issues with the layout. As other anon suggested, I think we should push to be allowed back into /tg/ or something, at this point.
>>6397072> I think we should push to be allowed back into /tg/ or something, at this point.Only way really. Though obviously mods would need to do more work or it would even have to be a custom "label qst threds as such, only 3 - 5 allowed at a time", etc.
>>6397057I'll admit I haven't seen most of that, simply because I don't often venture in the qtg, despite having been questing since around 2012ish, but yeah, whenever I've ventured into qtg I do see drama. If I didn't peek inside a few times a year, I wouldn't know that soj had art drama and apparently people think he is a pedo or gooner slop QM or something. Or that so many people hated Souv besides me (I love/hate him). Or any number of a million other things. But frankly qtg was like that even back on /tg/ to some degree, people had strong opinions on quests and writing and dice mechanics, some drama ensues, etc. It just didn't matter because we had sheer volume of people back then.>low player count4-6 players isn't that bad for a quest imo, it is basically the cozy zone. The ideal place to be for the average quest, so long as you get replacements occasionally to fill in for people who's interest drops off. It's only really bad for QMs with bigger egos (don't mean this in a mean way) who need the engagement to maintain their interest. But it is dire when the majority of quests on the board are in that same state, even really popular quests seem to drop off to that sort of player count after one or two threads. And yes, a couple of assholes in a low population quest can definitely kill it.>stricter janniesEh, I am really thankful they are so neglectful honestly. Outside of taking care of that one pony!scatporn/ultra!racist thread spammer and outright flamers, I've found the presence of mods to be rather oppressive. I say this as someone who is generally a good actor (I've only received a 1 day ban a single time for off topic discussion). Like, as someone who thinks anonkun is WAY too full of power fantasy smut quests, I think it is stupid that posting lewd quests earns you a ban. At no point were /tg/ or /qst/ ever as bad as akun, imo. And even banning people who flame others is just liable to have half the population ending up banned eventually, which in our present state, is not a good idea.>>6397059Agreed, you can ignore/filter threads or people. The fact of the matter is that our fate was sealed the moment we got split off into a containment board that receives no new features or technical support, and doesn't cover enough subjects to have broad appeal. Community initiatives to attract new people came too late and weren't sustained enough to really make a long term difference. Plus /qst/ has better (barely) alternatives. Even if akun has the shitty infamous kascode and similar lack of new features, and SB/SV has a different culture and very slow quest updates (once or twice a week is normal for 'fast' quests there, once a month is more normal, plus regular and frequent hiatuses), making it better suited for a different format of quests, like plan!quests or managerial/strategic quests (though at least discussion is fast, even if updates aren't).
Not everything is what it seems…An image was created, but few will truly understand what’s hidden within it. There is a secret, a code… maybe even a path.You only have 23 days to uncover the mystery.We are looking for intelligent people who enjoy exploring technology and uncovering the unknown.If you enjoy mysteries, challenges, and have a sharp mind, this enigma is for you.Tip: look closely, think outside the box… the answer isn’t where everyone is looking.When you figure it out, everything will make sense.Good luck.
that's not a quest, go post that shit on Twitter
You have journeyed much, in these lands most strange; these unending mountains whose peaks stretch towards the heavens. Through ridge and pass you have gone, by valley and crest alike, over leagues unnumbered of blackened stone and roaring wind. What remained, then, but to press ever onwards, towards some end unknown, unseen, and scarcely dreamt? Lo, and upon the farthest verge of sight, a mountain beyond all telling, whose sides were as sheer walls set against unending skies. Thither you were drawn, compelled somehow to climb it, to ascend beyond, and gaze upon what remained above...yet before your feet could touch that dread ascent, one trial most great remained; a narrow path, a ledge upon which one could scarcely stand, poised above gulfs unfathomable, whose stygian darkness struck the surroundings with a force most like light.What narrowness it was, what blade-like edge which stood as your only road. You could not cross it with what you carried; you could not cross it with all you brought. You could see, in the distance, possessions much alike; replacements most plentiful, of quality far greater! But how should a soul one so readily abandon that which had brought them through all that was? What hardness of heart might it take to hew one's lifeboat into lumber? To turn one's cradle into kindling?No will so greatly weighed, none save the will to live.You search the resolve to do so inside you; you drive your will to muster strength. What littlest burden may you carry, that shall find you the grit to walk?You awaken.

>>6408343>Check out the locale.This guy's not going anywhere, and before we go agreeing to anything, gathering our own info might help prevent us from being rug-pulled. This isn't the first time we've had to navigate a shifty deal.Broadly though, I am tempted to take him up on it, mainly so we have a home base for R&R, and so we can hold him to the lofty ideals expressed here (rather than him sliding into a dictator as is likely).Also of note: this "disease of the will" affects the guys in charge of towers. Of which our slightly hapless Robes is now a member. We'll need to keep an eye on him.
>>6408515+1, excellent thinking. Plus, keeping him waiting is a good negotiation tactic.>t. merchant
>>6408343>Check out the localeLet's take a look how much FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY this place could use. Also we need to find some jerky for the Unicorn. Pet her.
>>6408343>Check out the locale.I figure the long-term plan should be to get ourselves a recharging source of JUICE, enough allies to back us up, then take out the Princess and install a new puppet. We've already demonstrated that we can take out most of what they might throw at us, all we need is more intel on what the Princess has that could stop us. She can be as lawful all she wants, it will be for naught if we burn down her kingdom. Ahem, I mean start a revolution for FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.
Here you are, like many times before, breaking a sweat in front of a grill — doing what you do best. That’s right, you’re cooking some burgers! The most special kind. A recipe of your own creation. One that surpasses every other single one. But you can’t boast yet without every single one of your hobos’ approval! You’re nothing without them, and if they don’t enjoy it, there’s no reason to do this. That’s why you called Ruby and Suan De back to the apartment. One quick testing session before everyone arrives. Your teammates are stuck in traffic so there’s time to prepare everything for the party AND get those two’s consent for your nameless burger. Then Matilda will be next! You’ll show her the superior burger!You’re not naming the burger based on the team (You don’t apologize to Bubbles.) It’s a placeholder. The name you came up with was rejected, and the hobos’ suggestion was so offensive that you won’t give it the dignity to list it here.Regardless, your judges have arrived...“I meant to arrive early, but I was delayed. My apologies.” Suan De bursts in like she’s about to do the most important assassination mission she ever had. “What’s the emergency?”“Johnny, I’m here as well. Whatever you need us for, we are ready.” Ruby hurries inside.“Good. I need your opinion on these.” You show off the incredible hamburgers your twisted mind has prepared.“That’s the emergency…?” Suan De feels cheated. Comment too long.

>>6396716>Celia will join the team! She’s gonna be a great asset to saving the world!>Celia is going to have your babies! Wait, who wrote this prompt?! Your mom?!Mom, that’s your answer for everything! ‘Son, sweetie, make sure your lady takes her fertility drugs at least a month before your date night, and that you abstain and eat lots of spinach, citrus, and tree nuts during that time!’ Come on!
Nothing is going to stop Celia from spelling out this oath to the whole world! You can see the unwavering determination in her eyes. She’s an unstoppable force who won’t ever back down from keeping this pledge to you.“I’ll help you enact revenge against your psycho dad.” Celia’s eyes are full of determination. “And don’t give me any of that ‘you don’t have to’ crap or something lame like that. I want to. Damn, I have to! I’m not letting any motherfucker get away with hurting you.”“Celia, this is very kind of you in a twisted way, but I don’t know if it’s worth the effort.” You scratch the back of your head. “Don’t get me wrong, the guy is a tool. But he’s pretty much a non-factor right now.”“That’s your problem right there. You got this idea in your head that you can move on because you can endure it, but he’s weighing you down, Johnny. And running with shackles on ain’t really freedom.” Celia looks down to the street. “Or your style.”“Did I sound that dejected when we were talking about it?” You drop your head.“I can’t say for sure. When I saw you there, I felt like I was watching my reflection. It’s scary. To be so in tune with someone and what links us is hopelessness.” Celia admits. “A bastard ruined our lives and no one made it right. The world moved on. End of chapter. Justice doesn’t exist and crap. And you feel like you have to move on too...”“I can still do something about it…” It wasn’t your priority, that’s all. Right?“Yeah, same, it didn’t stop me from feelin’ like crap though.” Celia shrugs. “But seeing this reflecting on you… it was worse… like my stomach was burning. I was beside myself. So fuckin’ angry. I wanted to throw my plans in the dumpster, find this bastard and…” Celia scratches her head. “...You don’t deserve this bullshit, man. You don’t deserve to feel like... me.”Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6396832“Like what kind of future?” You wonder. “You know, one where you and I… Huh… Uhm… UHM...” Celia’s determination begins wavering! A thought so lewd crossed her mind that it flusters her. An entire future timeline of events clogs her brain. “You okay there?” You’re worried about your fellow Beaniesaur.“I wasn’t thinkin’ of anything!” Celia starts panicking.“That’s worrying in a way.” You look concerned.“S-Shut up. W-What I’m tryin’ to say is that I’m NOT thinkin’ of any babies or stuff like that!!!” Celia is getting even more panicky.“What?” You raise an eyebrow. That’s not something you have heard before, barring certain situations… “I mean, we could talk about it. I don’t have a job, but…” You have some assets in the entertainment business!Comment too long.
