Zul leads you to basically the same area where you boarded the train, however instead you take a few more turns and end up in a bus tunnel. The bus itself is normal. Nothing more than a long blue rectangle with wheel like every sort of public transport you've seen. Inside it has the same, uncomfortable and barely padded metal seats in rows. It even smells like a normal bus, unfortunately.As you prepare to leave, you realize the one odd thing about the vehicle. It doesn't appear to have a driver, nor does it seem to need one. As it heads down the tunnel it goes dark save for the fluorescent panel lights on the tunnel ceiling zooming by. You enter and leave several such tunnels, a new piece of scenery passing by as you do. Eventually you leave and end up smack dab in a city center. However you don't stay here long, driving farther from the city until you are flanked by an oak forest to the east and to the northwest following the road is your suburban destination. Stepping out of the bus, you immediately see a stone sign on the corner decorated with flowers. It reads "Gravel City".From what you can see this is hardly itself a city. You can see the metropolis you popped out of in the distance, but this area is little more than a strip of road with shops and a housing development sitting on the hill behind it. There appear to be non-cookie cutter houses here, but they most are abandoned and/or derelict. The commercial street is well kept however, with a variety of nice, neat shops. Despite the earliness, many of the shops are already open. Many are craft stores and bakeries, as well as a small grocery store and a gas station."So where too first?" Seshat asks, her eyes glued to the bus as it quite literally disappears over the horizon, "Just wander around and see if we can sense the anomaly?""If it were that easy to find the MiB would have found it already." Zul says, scanning the line of commercial buildings up the road. "We should probably search the shops and interview some of the townsfolk."Surprisingly, Seshat seems to be interested and says, "O-oh? Are there any office buildings around here? Maybe I can get some ideas for our game.""We probably won't find an anomaly in an office building. More likely it'll be in a antique store, or a curio shop. It'd probably be a good idea to check any thrift stores and consignments shops as well." Zul says.You ask if any museum or historic society might be good? They might have information on local legends, maybe even have information on local events such as ghost tours or local holidays.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Darkness. Void. Utter blackness. There is nothing here. Yet there is also, something?

You cannot tell where your body begins and ends. You cannot move any of your limbs. While unusual, this doesn't scare you. Your eyes are closed. You let yourself relax...It's unclear how much time has passed. The darkness beneath your eyelids has changed. Suddenly, there is space, and movement. Out of the abbyss, a thing appearsYou see:> A black mass, swirling and writhing, ever changing shape, once full of shapes soft and fleshy, like the innards of an alien creature, once jutting with sharp edges, like shards of shattered bone. The mass has a blackness unlike any in the natural world, so dark it glistens. It makes the surrounding darkness apear faded and lifeless in comparison...> A twinkle. The small light shimmers alone, until it is joined by another, and another. As the lights multiply, they illuminate the substance underneath. An ocean of quicksiler, as far as the eye can see.

On behalf of all the brave men and women who are responding to this crisis, we once more express the importance to remain calm.’’Such ‘local population’ appears to consist of a diverse array of peoples, with reports and images including everything from creatures akin to elves from works like The Hobbit to reptilian humanoid creatures that some have been calling ‘Mole-Men’ mixed in with a larger population that appears indistinguishable from the various races of humanity. Even the talk of ‘devilish people’ has been confirmed by the U.S. Navy personnel willing to comment on the situation we find ourselves in.

I couldn't even begin to tell you the sort of crap that got between me and getting this pdf done these past few weeks. Sometimes mental energy is a bitch to find.> Amazing ride.Thanks! It was a blast to write. And just because I've seen no one comment on it, I just wanted to say I was really happy that I remembered to finish the final post (before the epilogue) with "All is well", which is how Deathly Hallows ends, and was also a bit of a repeated sentence in the quest for when there were moments of peace, and I thought that put a nice little bow to the adventure.Anyways, I've done it! The whole damn thing as a pdf! I *think* I got every single update, but let me know if you find anything missing and I'll update it. I did clean *some* grammatical errors, then ran out of patience and just left the later ones in.In the future I'll probably do the smart thing and just save my posts from the start, because this was a massive hassle to get done.4chan isn't letting me upload it normally, and I think that is because of the hack from a while ago.

>>6334199The name will lose its meaning without a quest that happens in a school, and I originally just planned it as Headmaster+Questmaster for the quest (like how some systems use names different than Dungeon Master for their DMs), but I think leaving it behind now would be counterproductive. I looked at the archives, and I was surprised to find no one had used it before, so I'll keep it.
Since the arrival of the Eilistraeans, the entire Tenpenny estate has been refurbished, many of its rooms converted to dormitories and facilities all funded by Emitia. The girl spared no expense in providing for your people, ensuring that the building is staffed and adequately supplied, insisting that Sune will provide for them until the children are grown enough to provide for themselves. While you've not acquired the artisanal techniques of your people, there are many skills that you can impart besides fighting - the survival techniques from your ranger training and affinity for dance chief among them.But you've a more immediate concern that demands your attention - impressing upon these children the culture of the Ilythiiri that was lost with their elders. They speak the local surfacer language, are ignorant to their illustrious history, and have no understanding of who they truly are, something that you have been working diligently to remedy as of late. The old gallery, once filled with Tenpenny's vulgar paintings, has been completely redone into a library filled with fiction and realmslore. Rows upon rows of dark wood shelves sitting on white tile, surrounding a common area, the chairs arranged in a semicircle around yourself. In attendance are the children, who sit in anticipation of your lecture, their benefactor Emitia Rouzet, High Sorcerer Lael Lathalas, and his apprentices.What, you wonder, will be the topic of today's lesson?>Today I will tell them the storied history of Menzoberra the Kinless, one of Lolth's most powerful priestesses and the founder of the city Menzoberranzan itself.>It is time for a lesson on Ilythiirra.

This same skull shaped silhouetted bound to the earth with chains appears every 101 years, an entirely arbitrary number.This horrible omen heralds the rebirth of LADY JOHANNA SUGGSALOT, an undying wretch driven by the ongoing suffering of man.

Welcome back to Our Brave Boys, a quest that is more about worldbuilding (or loredumping) but also a somewhat light RP setting. You are all young men of 20 years of age and are part of the Nation's Apprenticeship Required for Male Youths, otherwise known as ARMY. The Nation is one of many countries of the Empire, but after decades of suppressing Republican Revolutions, the Nation emerged as the leading faction championing the Monarchy, placing the late Princess of your Nation on the throne as Eternal Empress.The quest essentially runs as a world event where you are all common soldiers who have little control over the progression of the war, but are nonetheless free to write bits of your characters' thoughts and even subtle actions to bring life to your characters.The Nation has a mandatory conscription policy for all young men, who must serve for 5 years after conscription at 20 years of age. Nearly a year and a half has passed since the quest started, although new boys are welcome. You might want to skim through the archive to understand the lore.To get conscripted, please take a look at the instructions in the first thread: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2025/6220569/OOB2: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2025/6258776/The Story Thus FarYou are the junior brothers of Lexion XXI, 41st Artillery Cohort, Battery Green, Section 1. Any additional entries will overflow to Section 2 of Battery Green.Legion XXI spent several seasons training and laboring in Japmi until the Southern Principality reported instability due to Revolutionary riots, prompting the Sovereign Marshal to order Legion XXI to be stationed across the bay from the Southern Principality. While Legion XXI was on standby, the Grand Prince of the South escaped a revolutionary coup, prompting General Reigen Mugen to push forth and establish a foothold before the revolutionaries dig in.
>>6342595I'm really flattered anon, the effort and references, but unfortunately I cannot accept this for a few reasons (other than not following the guidelines)1. It is explicitly fantastical.2. It misses the point of appreciating the small things in an otherwise larger world.I have an interwar/dieselpunk era in the works but even this can't fit. The fantasy aspects of the setting comes from exploring strange world orders that would be possible in ours. The Nation is not some industrial war machine, it is a tribal society with industrial assets. All young men enter the ARMY not because it is law but because it is tradition. There are no ranks because your tribe has a tradition of respecting elders ingrained into since birth. It is not a military, it is a highly ritualized coming-of-age part of your life.>>6342600(I'd reply to more but THE SYSTEM thinks I'm spam)Please don't give this anon a hard time. I don't think it's AI generated, they reference things from the setting that I haven't mentioned yet.>>6342814Don't be discouraged. Even though the worldbuilding is quite intrusive, this sort of imagination still exists within the Lings/Nation, specifically among youths. I can see this as a character who has lofty ideas and ambitions, a nerdy dude who might have written stories about automatons that are considered fantastical and novel for the time.
>>6342595Seems a mite against the idea of this RP and inherently overpowered compared to everyone else as well as not really being a character. Perhaps instead you could be a young mechanic with a dream of someday building this idea for a wonder machine once the war is over? We're an artillery brigade, so chances are we'd want some more mechanically knowledgeable people around who can fix the guns should they break (if we ever get them).In the end, though, it's OP's call. Though I personally think it unlikely, given that OP rejected the idea of someone playing a girl before (and if Crom, Haren or someone else are 'Polly-Olivering' I'm not aware of it).>>6342814Not personally in favour myself. I'd say just make a young male recruit like we're supposed to and everyone else did.
>>6342814>I said nothing about a young boy.Correct, the point of this is because it's about young boys.
>>6342815Thank you, QM. I appreciate your response and completely understand where you're coming from. If you would permit me, I'll go back to the drawing board and write up a character that fits the bill.>>6342815>this sort of imagination still exists within the Lings/Nation, specifically among youths. I can see this as a character who has lofty ideas and ambitions, a nerdy dude who might have written stories about automatons that are considered fantastical and novel for the time.>>6342818>Perhaps instead you could be a young mechanic with a dream of someday building this idea for a wonder machine once the war is over? We're an artillery brigade, so chances are we'd want some more mechanically knowledgeable people around who can fix the guns should they break (if we ever get them).These are some great ideas! Have a suspicious GIF as thanks.
>>6342862Before I forget I would also like to add that the term Bravie is considered archaic. Obviously it means one who is courageous as Lings have always been adverse to violence, preferring to run or hide. In this era, the word Bravie can be likened to how we think of Knight or Samurai. Instead I suggest such automoton in whatever stories your character might write be named after it like so: Battle Ready Automoton with VarIable Equipment.
Memories of Earth (Sonny - Aftermath 1) https://youtu.be/XxIr_gXszgMIn the blue hour, in a field of gently swaying grass, an old man stood, listening quietly to the cicadas screaming for pussy. He smiled at the thought. Insects were very amusing creatures and it was their music which gave voice to heat and the evening. A cool breeze blew and it felt good against his weathered face. The old man was not used to such a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere. For the moment, he felt as if he were... safe? Yes, safe. For the first time in a very, very long time.He closed his eye. He could imagine being there, in his old hometown, walking through the streets and the places he grew up in. Another time, another place, like a memory adrift in a sea of grass and eternity and the sounds of an eternal American summer. But this was all... A fabrication. And actually, so was this entire scene. Zoos, after all, are the built realization of man's favorite illusion: control over nature.The old man's jaw clenched. He sighed a really deep and disappointed sigh out of simultaneous shame and frustration. Tilting his head upwards, he saw the shimmering of the light panels across the vast dome of the sky as it touched the earth. Under his feet, he could feel the subtle rumbling of hidden machines working tirelessly. Through his bones, weather generators blew colder than a moment they did before. None such detail would escape him, nothing ever did.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycytNj2g-eA&t=41s The year is 2004 and the GWOT has escalated into a second war. For some of you this really matters, and for some of you this doesn't matter nearly as much. Some of you were present under Clinton and some of you were raised up into the higher echelons of power under W Bush. You are The Machine.You are slow and you are cautious. The little bits and pieces that make you up may be people and they make believe in things, but as The Machine it's unclear what you believe. Your members exist within Congress and exist within the various Departments of the Executive Branch. Some of you even exist inside the Judicial System. And overall, plenty of you would be content to make thousands of dollars in speaking fees, and looking forward to retiring with a pension at worst and a cushy do-nothing job at Lockheed Martin or some such MIC. The second wave of tax cuts for the wealthy are generous and the interests are almost nothing. It's a great time to invest and become even richer.--There are some problems however. 1. The threat level is Orange, which means that recently there has been some very serious terrorist attacks and the intelligence apparatus is expecting more.Nowadays these kinds of attacks are one or two dissatisfied youths shooting up some kind of intellectual institution and wounding and/or killing a few dozen people. There are also plenty of Al Qaeda attacks attempted, but they don't usually go through. Last month there was an attack on some federal agents in Maine. Comment too long.

4. Some portion of your members are hearing rumors and even glimpse of what might be leaks or data. There are a lot of what resembles the usual conspiracy theories and other nonsense, but the fact that so much is happening and so little information is available to you, despite that you're the upper apparatus of the most powerful nation in the world...Some are using the words "Deep State". Others are pointing to Russian or Chinese spies. The level of rumors about scientific and unexplained matters is rather high, enough that some your number actually believe them.At the very least a good portion of the nation has gone crazy.
GameplayIn 24 hours and for the 24 hours afterward, there will be a vote. That vote could result in advising Congress give permission to The President, to declare Martial Law. It could trigger a civil-war at worst and it could at best result in what was some kind of "Shadow War going more public. It would also draw resources from the Middle East and the rest of the world, and make relations confusing and messy with our allies and neutral parties.The second option is to form a Secret Committee, which would be very difficult to keep from ending up having spies from these covert factions "duking it out" within the nation. A lot of the best of the best, in terms of fighting at least, are ideologs or cut throat-killers, with the latter likely to be scooped up soon by PMCs.A third option would likely involve, Focusing on preserving the economic base and the donors. You might do something else latter, but for now you're washing your hands of Colorado and Illinois.There are other possible options, including that you don't have enough information and need to work something out that is more specific, and slower.
>Intelligence and Discussion PhaseThe rest of the time not spent on the vote and counting the votes, the period leading up to them certainly... Will be spent on obtaining intelligence and discussion. Any of you are free to ask any question. In some amount of time you will be told what you currently know, or what can be found out quickly enough. If you can be completely certain about something, you will be told. If you are told it is 50/50, you will be told. 90/10, you will be told. And if you have no idea, you will be told.You also have the ability to take some kind of action that won't require serious pull from Congress or the President. >A. Improving a CapabilityYou could try and improve any of your Capabilities. This could be by removing unqualified or suspicious subordinates, increasing funding, or recruiting new talent. It could be all of the above. Let's state some of your Capabilities.Most importantly, you have Internal Affairs. This is your ability to make sure you don't have spies within... whatever this group of senators and policy wonks is supposed to be.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Capability List>Internal AffairsLevel 3, there is a 10% chance that any given recruit could be a mole or spy. >IntelligenceLevel 2, there is a 10% chance to see the secret messages within a Department or State, and a 30% chance of seeing secret messages for a Sub Department or third of a State.It's 50/50 if you can look over one of the above, and mange to get recruits without them being moles or spies later.
Winning Conditions and StakesYou are playing against a previous set of players, and a current set of players. Another set of future players might be playing against you, based on your choices.You have 10 units of Apparatus Body Points. If this number is reduced to 5, the remaining of your number will have fled the government and said government is likely collapsing. At the very least there will be a civil-war or a coup.That means you're dead at worst, but you could be blackmailed or some flavor of powerless, middle class, and unable to ever achieve much of anything ever again.If this happens, [u]all of you lose[/u]. >Every week or other week, there will be a secret vote.In that secret vote, it will be possible for you to switch sides to one of the covert factions. If you do this, you will get a payout and there is a chance they will be strong enough to prolong your life, or even your time in power and high status. There also will be chances to take a bribe and Cash Out. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Your name is BrightReef Grover and you are finally a Science Scout!Among the youth of Swallia; public service is considered a great mark on a resume for a future career, and a great use of a young person's time. Before being mated or mature enough to engage in the workforce; it is a method to expend youthful energy towards something useful. But you wouldn't know much about that; you're more interested in the merit badges, the sash, and the cool stuff you get to do.The Scouts are a direct subsidy of InterCon; the governing body of your independent planet. Swallia and its two moons are in an autonomous zone and are free from the predations and exploitations of other powers in space. This is guaranteed by your protector-in-all-but-name state; the Jaxtian led Hegemony. But once again, you don't really know much about that. You're just a kid, you're much more excited about summer vacation on the last day of school. You even get to meet the representative from the Eugenic & Science policy department of the Swall government. Cool!
>>6331089>leaving a post-it note on the supreme fridge saying "buy more eggs and also restore swall homeworld"Kek. I would guess that by making a public promise like this, it's sort of a soft oath imposed upon his successor. Anything less would make the Supreme look weak and fallible.
>>6332092Promises can't be inherited, though. Supremes are pretty much free to do whatever. It's only really a "Soft Vow" if the project is underway and the next Supreme had to actively shelf it.The only way I can see him really keeping his promise is by choosing a supreme who might actually get started on that. A swall supreme, even?
Is it just me or have the choices the Supremes have been making lately been a bit more sane and chill than those of previous eras?I blame the Hazaar, or lack of them. When the Hazaar were still a relevant force in the universe the voting based seemed a bit... meaner.
>>6332261>Hazaar>GoneGive him time.
