You are THEMA MUMINA, the UNDEAD QUEEN of the EGYPTIAN UNDERWORLD. Your syndicate holds tremendous power over the ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT, a feat you'd worked tirelessly towards for nearly a century. You're quite proud of your handiwork, and you value all of your loyal undead subordinates.However, you can't help but feel somewhat desolate. You've been at this crime thing for years on your own, and you can't help but long for the loving warmth of COMPANIONSHIP. You start to reminisce. In your past life as one of the living, you were married to a wealthy farmer. You didn't quite fancy the man, but considering the immense dowry he offered your family, you didn't really have a choice in the matter. You remember the affairs you used to have with the cute servant girls your husband brought home, and you recall longing to explore deeper, more FULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS WITH WOMEN. You never really did find men all that attractive, anyway.

Happy Halloween month, questheads! I hope you guys will enjoy this little spooky dating sim sorta quest; I had a questing itch to scratch, so here I am. Scratching.You can catch my previous quests (whenever suptg is back up) through:https://baneofjustin.quest/https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=baneqm
>>6121719>ASSISTANT LOVE. You want her to minister to you with acts of service.>SUBMISSIVE ATTITUDE. You want her to let you take the lead.>ACTIVITY SIMILARITY. You want her to like the same activities you do.>ENERGY SIMILARITY. You want her to be as introverted or extroverted as you are.Activity similarity seems to overlap a lot with Interest similarity, but activity seems slightly more practical for a value to have in a partner. I'm a little anxious about not taking Structure given the potential for her to be completely alien inside, but we don't have that many slots to work with
>>6121719>PHYSICAL LOVE. You want her to comfort you with her touch.>SWITCH ATTITUDE. You want her to be able to give AND take power.>ACTIVITY SIMILARITY. You want her to like the same activities you do.>STRUCTURE SIMILARITY. You want her to think like you do.
>>6121719>ATTENTIVE LOVE>SUBMISSIVE ATTITUDE>ACTIVITY SIMILARITY>LIBIDO SIMILARITY
>>6121719>>6121823Sorry, thought sub attitude was for us. I like the contrast.>ATTENTIVE LOVE>DOMINANT ATTITUDE>ACTIVITY SIMILARITY>LIBIDO SIMILARITY
>>6121719>PHYSICAL LOVE. You want her to comfort you with her touch.>DOMINANT ATTITUDE. You want her to lead you.>FASHION SIMILARITY. You want her to have the same sense of style you do.>LIBIDO SIMILARITY. You want her to have the same sex drive you do.
>>6121719What do you mean by assistant love and acts of service?
>>6121955Acts of service is basically doing things for your partner to show your love. Think gestures like cooking you dinner, fixing or cleaning your car, or figuring vacation plans out for you. Even small gestures like opening the door for you all the time or just reminding you of things they paid attention to are acts of service.
>>6121719>ASSISTANT LOVE. You want her to minister to you with acts of service.>SUBMISSIVE ATTITUDE. You want her to let you take the lead.>ENERGY SIMILARITY. You want her to be as introverted or extroverted as you are.>LIBIDO SIMILARITY. You want her to have the same sex drive you do.

You want her to like the same activities you do.>FASHION SIMILARITY. You want her to have the same sense of style you do.Interestingly there's nothing saying she needs to be a biological woman. I mean in ancient times men could be considered women more easily, and the stigma against them didn't really exist especially in Arab culture.Basically asking if we can get a cute trans gf?

>>6122167I like the contrast of a powerful mummy queen wanting to be dominated by her wife
>>6122310I think a lot of people wanted that contrast.
>>6122167You've spent decades worth of sleepless nights on a bed that was much too large for one woman in a home that was so spacious that it felt daunting. You daydream of warm, loving arms wrapping you in a comforting embrace; your lungs slowly expanding as you breathe in tender fantasies. Your eyes flutter open as you exhale; there's no doubt in your heart: you've got to find a girl that smothers you with physical attention. Yes... a decisive and assertive beauty. You can feel your skin heating up as you imagine several activities to do with such a woman. You feel a burst of motivation, and thus begins your search.But how does one find a suitable partner? You hesitantly rub your cheek as you pace back and forth in your chambers. You are what most humans would call a MONSTER (it took YEARS to reclaim that word as more than a slur), and while you haven't interacted with many monsters other than your fellow undead, you feel now is the best time to try. You pull your CELLPHONE out and aptly Google "monster singles near me". A myriad of unhelpful ads, articles, and phishing links are the first results to show up. Urghh... this is far too complicated.You make the executive decision to just download the first monster dating app you see on the App Store. Okay, MonsterMingle... oh, that one's rated 3.5 stars. Um, you better skip that one. Plenty of Creeps... what an awful name. OkCryptid... looks cute, but you're reading some unsavory reviews. You're getting more and more frustrated. You haven't even started swiping or meeting anyone yet, how is it this difficult already?You're just about to give up and take an angry nap when you scroll down to Bramble. It's sleek and the reviews are refreshingly positive. The promotional material on the store page isn't desperately vying for you to download it, and it just looks fun. You have a good feeling about this one.---The app has finished downloading, and you excitedly open it up and create an account. You feel giddy typing up your profile.Thema, 98Occupation: Queen of the Egyptian UnderworldSex: FemaleLooking for: FemaleHeight: 5'4"Smoking: YesStar Sign: LibraWant kids: UndecidedWant: Long-term relationshipActivities: Travel, Walking, Yoga, Wine Tasting, Dancing, KissingInterests: Historical Literature, True Crime, Spa, Home DecorI get way too excited about: Old film reruns on TVI want you to: Pick me up and make out with meThe quickest way to my heart is: Calling me babyAfter you finish, you start swiping for a bit but seeing other girls' profiles gets you really worried that yours sucks. Were you too bold... maybe not bold enough? You decide to turn off your phone and take a break from the app for a bit; you can always change something later, and hey, maybe you'll get a few matches. (1/2)
>>6122382After a couple of hours of doing mundane tasks and watching TV, you decide to open Bramble again. Hey, you've got two matches! You check their profiles out.Valeria, 127Occupation: CountessSex: WomanLooking for: Men or WomenHeight: 5'Smoking: NoStar Sign: GeminiWant kids: NoWant: UndecidedActivities: Cooking, Gym, Dress-Up, YogaInterests: Horror, R&B, True Crime, Drama, Romance BooksA pro and a con of dating me: Mentally unstable but I'm caring :)Two truths and a lie: I'm a good liar, I love drinking tea, and I have a body piercingThe quickest way to my heart is: Spotting me in the gymMagalie, 95Occupation: LibrarianSex: WomanLooking for: WomenHeight: 5' 8"Smoking: YesStar Sign: LibraWant kids: YesWant: Long-term relationshipActivities: Dancing, Clubbing, Karaoke, PaintingInterests: Humor, Cats, Coffee, ArtTogether we could: scream songs in the carSwipe right if you: aren't a picky eater!We'll get along if: you like cats!!You figure you should text one of them.

>>6122395>MagalieDo we have a line to Bastet and Sekhmet? It could be a fun time for undead cat ladies.
>>6122395>MagalieYou know what they say about zombie chicks
>>6122382>98Quite young for a mummy.
>>6122395>>Magalie
>>6122427The next Bramble update will have an option to list your age in years, decades, and centuries. Following user submitted feedback from gene-engineered and cybernetic and computerized monsters, they’ll probably add in days and weeks as well.
>>6122427>>6122517If that is actually years that mean our mummy was born in 1935.
>>6122395>Valeria
>>6122395>Magalie
>>6122624Thema’s still looking pretty good no matter how long since she’s been embalmed. You can bounce a stater off of them tiddies.
>Magalie>>6122396>>6122402>>6122404>>6122448>>6122743>Valeria>>6122725Zombie babe here we come.>>6122427>>6122517>>6122624>>6122749I'm really loving this discussion. However, I have to point one thing out.>If that is actually years that mean our mummy was born in 1935.Love Haunt takes place in 2024, so she would have been "born" in 1926.
>>6123070Really thought I did the math correctly there? Hang I think I confused myself when I was writing it down. Guessing "born" means being revived or something else here.
>>6123070wait, you managed to reply to 10 links ? so that spam bs the site was doing isn't up anymore
>>6123243Nah, looks like CoreQM is still dealing with it. Could it be some sort of regional or country thing?
>6123070You take a seat and nestle into your couch cushions. You're quite glad you got these when you did; in fifty years, you haven't found a comfier couch. You navigate to Bramble and pull up your conversation with Magalie. Seems she's already sent a few messages.MAGALIE: hiii hii hello!!MAGALIE: you are so so very pretty!THEMA: Thank you, you look lovely too.MAGALIE: very very jealous that you can go out in the sun like thatMAGALIE: how was your day?THEMA: Wait, you can't? Sorry, I'm not really all that familiar with zombie culture.MAGALIE: lmaoo you're okay!! we can't go out in like broad daylight without something covering us upMAGALIE: which is lame, I wanna wear a fun bikini and soak up some rays...MAGALIE: I figured mummies couldn't either but that's super cool that you canTHEMA: Yeah, wow. I'm a lot more grateful now.THEMA: How was your day?MAGALIE: today was pretty good! I spent most of it organizing some old books, nothing crayTHEMA: I love the library. It's really cool that you're a librarian.MAGALIE: yeah I think so too!MAGALIE: anyway what did you get up to!!Wait, did she ask you this already?THEMA: Oh Amun-Ra, I didn't say. I'm so sorry.MAGALIE: no no don't worry! I'm just curious as to what a queen of the underworld does :)THEMA: Well, it's a lot.THEMA: A lot of which is hush hush, but really it's just a lot of paperwork and ceremonies.THEMA: A bunch of private jet rides too, but none of that today.Your message stays on delivered for a little over a minute; she probably had to do something. Oh man, you didn't bring the trash bin in. You quickly do so, leaving your phone on your couch.MAGALIE: darn private jets sound like a lot of funMAGALIE: would be pretty cool if you flew over and picked me up ;)You take a second to admire the night sky. It's really pretty. And so is Magalie! You're actually surprised that a cutie like her was so eager to respond to you, but then again, you are a beautiful queen.MAGALIE: or not! sorry if that was overstepping lolYou come back inside and almost immediately regret being a responsible homeowner.THEMA: You're certainly not overstepping, that would be pretty cool.You think about flirting by saying she's also pretty cool, but you're not really quite sure how to word it without it sounding awkward. You also could arrange for a private jet to pick her up, but is that too fast? Maybe you should ask for a pic? Gahh... dating is so hard.What do you do? Make it quick!>FLIRT. Maybe you can find a way to word this properly... or figure out something better to say. (Write-In!)>PRIVATE JET. She did seem impressed by it...>ASK FOR A PIC. Surely she'd be fine with taking a quick one.
>>6123132Hey, it happens!And maybe :)
>>6123243>>6123267Is 10 the limit? Pissed me the hell off when I tried to post yesterday. Damn you hiroshimoot.
>>6123289Do we have our own cats? If so, bring up how we saw her profile mentioned cats, and ask for a cute picture of them, then send our own back to her, preferably doing cute cat stuff.
>>6123289>ASK FOR A PIC. Surely she'd be fine with taking a quick one.>>6123297the limit was 9 when I tried it in another thread
>>6123289>FLIRT. Maybe you can find a way to word this properly... or figure out something better to say. (Write-In!)>"You know what else would be cool maybe checking out a bookstore with you? My underworld has quite a lot of old scrolls and such."Seems like Magalie has EXPECTATIONS herself from the color of the text.
>>6123289>PRIVATE JET
>>6123289>>6123343+1
>>6123343>>6123289+1
>CATS.>>6123309>ASK FOR A PIC.>>6123338>FLIRT. (Scrolls)>>6123343>>6123733>>6123854>PRIVATE JET.>>6123505Very nice varied answers. Let's see what Thema can do.
>>6123908THEMA: I think it would be cool to go to a bookstore with you.THEMA: My underworld has quite a lot of old scrolls and such. Maybe we could have some coffee... you'd be free to peruse my library.You REALLY want her to peruse your erm, personal library. You can't help but gnaw on your thumb and grin as you swipe through the rest of her pics on her profile while you wait for her to respond. Seems she's always been a looker; she has a picture of herself on her profile of when she used to be human, and thank Bastet below, you really lucked out. You do still want to keep your options open, so while you wait for her to respond, you do some swiping.MAGALIE: ohhh you had me at coffee!!MAGALIE: I mean you had me at bookstore but I loooooove coffeeTHEMA: What's your drink of choice?MAGALIE: probably coffeeMAGALIE: OH you mean what kind of coffee?THEMA: Yes, haha.MAGALIE: I've gotten addicted to Haitian Blue coffeeMAGALIE: my family's from Haiti so it feels like home when I brew a potTHEMA: That's sweet.THEMA: I usually get an Iced Americano if I'm getting coffee, but I'm a tea girl through and through.MAGALIE: ohh reading with a cup of tea is such a vibeMAGALIE: but nothing will beat a mug of coffee and a good book for meMAGALIE: maybe curling up with an Egyptian queen would ;)THEMA: That can certainly be arranged.You notice you're kicking your feet slightly. You stop. Embarassing... This is good, you think.MAGALIE: do you read much?THEMA: Not as much as I'd like to, that's for sure.THEMA: My work doesn't give me nearly enough time.MAGALIE: oh that is so sadTHEMA: It's not so bad. I like what I do.You should probably move the conversation to another topic.THEMA: I noticed your profile mentioned cats.MAGALIE: yes!! do you have anyTHEMA: I do. I have a little Egyptian Mau named Layla.THEMA: What about you?MAGALIE: ahh! layla is such a cute name I don't think I've ever seen an egyptian mau beforeMAGALIE: and yes I so do I have threeMAGALIE: I have a feeling they are still asleep but I'll see if I can find a good pic of themMAGALIE: I didn't know any other Egyptian cat breed except like sphynx catsTHEMA: I don't think sphynx cats are Egyptian.THEMA: I've never seen any around, at least.MAGALIE: oh whattMAGALIE: wait lemme googleMAGALIE: omg they're canadian??THEMA: Oh wow.MAGALIE: that is like the polar opposite of EgyptMAGALIE: shame on me for assuming actuallyThis is an awkward moment. Oh hang on, you got a notification on Bramble. Seems Valeria has sent you a message. Your curiousity is piqued. You could also just go back to swiping. What should you do?>CONTINUE WITH MAGALIE.>RESPOND TO VALERIA.>GO BACK TO SWIPING.>SOMETHING ELSE. (Write-In!)
>>6123933>CONTINUE WITH MAGALIE.If we stop now, she’ll assume we were offended
>>6123933>>CONTINUE WITH MAGALIE.Rude to leave somebody hanging.
>>6123933>CONTINUE WITH MAGALIEslughtly awkward, sure, but hardly anything to end an otherwise-promising situation for
>CONTINUE WITH MAGALIE.>>6123938>>6123943>>6124018Pretty cut and dry. We're not abandoning the zombabe!
>>6124180THEMA: It's an understandable assumption to make, I think.THEMA: If I didn't live here, I'd probably make the same mistake.She doesn't respond. You shift slightly on the couch, your brows furrowing. Did... did you do something wrong? You responded pretty quickly, you were nice, you tried to relate... did she get embarrassed and chicken out? Was she bored of talking to you? Or maybe—MAGALIE: omg I'm so sorry I fell asleep!!MAGALIE: I had a long night last nightOr maybe she could have just fallen asleep. Wait, what?THEMA: I get that. You just woke up?MAGALIE: yeah like an hour agoMAGALIE: it's 8am now!THEMA: Oh wow, I keep forgetting that other countries could be hours behind us.THEMA: It's 3 PM for me.MAGALIE: yeah time zones are weird asfMAGALIE: DANG your day is like halfway overMAGALIE: I should probably get out of bed and start mine...MAGALIE: ughhh I really don't want toTHEMA: I truly, truly understand how you feel right now.MAGALIE: should I get up or rot in bed y/nTHEMA: I'm thinking yes.MAGALIE: noooo I figured you would say thatMAGALIE: fine okay okayMAGALIE: let's talk later!THEMA: Let's.That was fun. You wish you could keep talking to her, but you get it. You still do have that message from Valeria, as well as a trove of monster singles to swipe on. Actually, now that you think about it, the amount of monster tourists to Egypt has increased. What's the move?>RESPOND TO VALERIA.>GO BACK TO SWIPING.>SCOPE OUTSIDE.>SOMETHING ELSE. (Write-In!)
>>6124239>GO BACK TO SWIPING.
>>6124244>+1I wasn’t expecting to meet someone from another country on this not!tinder, but I guess it makes sense for someone with our resources.
>>6124239>>GO BACK TO SWIPING.Valera is ho material, not waifu material.
>>6124239>>RESPOND TO VALERIA.
>>6124239>RESPOND TO VALERIA.What's stopping us from getting to know this girl that clearly likes us or at least finds us attractive?

>>6122395You're quite wary of opening Valeria's message since you're really not that into her. You decide to keep swiping instead. Alright, cutie, cutie, that's definitely a guy pretending to be a monster, cutie, hnghh... this is exhausting. You decide to get off your phone for a bit and just enjoy the afternoon by reading a book on the history of the Soviet Union. That previous conversation fired up your interest in reading again.---After a while, you glance down at your phone. Multiple new matches!

Hey all--bit of unfortunate news: without getting into the details, BANE has some irl stuff to work out and will have to call the thread here. Isn't able to update/edit at the moment, so here I am. Might be a while until the next one, but he thanks y'all for understanding and for playing. Apologies for the sudden stop... hopefully things'll get going again in the near future.
>>6127575ok, thanks for warning us and hope things workout for you irl.
