Last time, you dealt with *most* of the fallout after the prison break to leave the way clear for an amazing celebration! This Jackey Frosties has never seen this amount of activity before, and with the bill being covered, who can’t help but be in a good mood? Well, there’s a certain someone who hasn’t been in a partying frame of mind, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be cheered up. That’s right, you’re talking about Suan De! But she can wait for later. You actually want to talk to the second most miserable person in this room, and their name is Solomon. He’s due for a huge surprise.While the party continues to rage on, you decide to wind down by approaching those two hanging by the window. They’re not even interacting with each other but are watching what is going on at a comfortable distance. You notice that Suan De is eating a Chocolate Bufu, you wonder why…The Slob Dragon has noticed your presence, but you can’t say the same about the former prisoner, Solomon’s eyes are busy watching the sunset, seems enamored with the view…You have to say something to grab his attention.“Hey.” You say to break the ice.“What a beautiful sunset, isn’t it?” Solomon looks longingly at it.“Yes.” You say without much thought.“You know what would make it prettier?” Solomon grins just thinking about his answer.“What?” You play along.“A mushroom cloud.” The man cackles at his own joke. Suan De continues mildly enjoying her ice cream…No man who used a rocket launcher on a giant monster should be this depressed! You gotta tell him about Constance, but you must do it tactfully. Choose your words wisely.What do you do?>“How would it compare to your daughter’s smile?” Be a little cheeky. Just a little.>“Sir, there’s something I need to tell you.” Be really formal about this news.>“Guess who is in the ‘Still Alive’ Club? Your daughter, Constance!” Spit the good news like an idiot! His wife still has her membership revoked, but who knows for how long!>Write In.

This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared! (NEW) Dice Mechanic: We always roll 1d100s!Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)! When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked. Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore! The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result! Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight. Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

>>6158682>>“Sir, there’s something I need to tell you.” Be really formal about this news.
You’ll get a little cheeky because this is good news, you won’t go overboard or be disrespectful. Just have a little fun.“How would it compare to your daughter’s smile?” You smirk, not in a gotcha way, but a wholesome one — like Yu Yan or Kata!“Why bother comparing them? My two creations can’t co-exist. I wouldn’t allow it.” Solomon keeps his eyes on the sunset. “Only one will grow to be pretty...”“That’s interesting. I think we got the best one of the two.” You think you dodged a bomb.“Why are you bringing this up, boy?” Solomon shifts his eyes towards you. His face’s muscles twitch. He did not like that comment.“There’s something I need to tell you, something that will put my answer into perspective.” You play down the cheekiness.“What could you possibly mean? Are you the leader of a small nation interested in getting into an arms race?” Solomon asks.“No, Solomon.” You shake your head. “She’s alive.”“Explain yourself...” Solomon’s eternal grin disappears.“Your daughter is alive.” You smile.“My… daughter? My daughter...? My Constance...?” Solomon stands up wholly perplexed.“The one and only.” You say.“…” Solomon covers his mouth with one hand. “Can it be really true…?”“I can assure you he speaks nothing but the truth.” Suan De says despite not meeting Volleyball head just yet. She was eavesdropping! How mean! “You can confirm it with the others if you are inclined to, but you’d be wasting your time.”“She’s waiting for you. I’m sorry for making you wait this long, but I had to make sure I didn’t get the wrong guy.” You really didn’t do a background check, but you needed to know the quality of his character.“……….Hahahaha~” Solomon breaks into laughter… and tears. He’s clapping enthusiastically. “My precious little angel is alive!!!”“That’s right!” You nod.“What are we waiting for, young man?! I must see her at once!” Solomon isn’t going to wait willingly any second longer. “I want no delays! Take me to her!”Solomon is a fully energetic man now! What a sudden change! You feel like you have no other option but to comply with his one request…What do you do?! (Note: Everyone is coming to the clinic eventually.)>Take Solomon in Galactic’s truck. The Calamity vehicle to the Calamity Clinic!>Take Solomon to the clinic in your van. Scarlet called Xavi to drive it here.>Take a random taxi to the clinic. Keep it simple, don’t bug anyone.>Take the Buffalo to the clinic. Trust this Agent for one more mission.>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
>>6158822>>Take Solomon to the clinic in your van. Scarlet called Xavi to drive it here.
>>6158822>>Write In.Let everyone know what we're gonna do then>Take Solomon to the clinic in your van. Scarlet called Xavi to drive it here.
>>6158822>Take Solomon to the clinic in your van. Scarlet called Xavi to drive it here.
>>6158831+1
>>6158831>Take Solomon in Galactic’s truck. The Calamity vehicle to the Calamity Clinic!
>>6158822>Take Solomon to the clinic in your van. Scarlet called Xavi to drive it here.Remind him that if he dings the van, you’ll be disappointed, but only slightly, instead of the full blown disappointed dad display if he fibs about how the ding got there in the first place.
You gotta move! But how will you get there? You can’t take the truck and leave everyone behind. In fact, you should tell them what your plans are for ideas to start flowing on how to get to the Clinic, and get this done! So that’s what you do, you approach the party and ask for a moment of their attention and say the good news. Congratulations started raining in for Mr. Strangelove, especially touching coming from Walter. Anyway, as you bring up the difficulties of getting there, the trusty Bubbles informs you about the van’s soon arrival. It was her idea to make sure everyone had a ride to come back home. So Xavi should be here any minute now.But that didn’t stop the organizing. People start to figure out who will go with whom. Misty, Galactic, and Steen (she wants to negotiate with the Spaceman...) are going to handle the prisoners and leave them safely at their homes or places of shelter. Worst case scenario, they will stay at the Clinic’s bunker. There are talks about renting a bus to take everyone out of here, but you are told to not be concerned about the details. They will manage! Even the policewomen are trying to help arrange something for them, but they refuse to ride in any police vehicles, they won’t be tricked. What a misunderstanding!The group who is going in the van with you will be: You, Xavi (driver), Scarlet, Aurora, Neko, Vera, Liu, Solomon, Mama Bodil, Dempsey, and Suan De. The last three for needing medical assistance. Odetta, Jaylene, Crossbill, The Markgician, Dylan, and Agent Beef will follow pace in their own vehicle (Agent Beef). Everyone else will arrive in due time.You’re certain that you won’t see some of them after this, so you amicably part ways with everyone who you assume you won’t see soon! Bye Hanno, Carmella, Squarefelix, Roundbert, Rahul, Darwin, Hubbard, Wigmar, Judith, Cocoa, and Annelien! T-This is not even half of the people involved! Kind of insane! You got their phone numbers though, so in case you want to talk to any of them, you can!Yep, Hanno is gone. A weird gloomy-looking guy showed up to pick him up, and when he saw all the prisoners he was extremely confused as to what’s going on. Hanno asks him for a moment before leaving, and the weird guy decides to wait outside. He was there for less than a second, nobody but you noticed – and he didn’t even notice you. What an idiot.You get a last hurrah with everyone before parting! Today, you made more friends than you could ever imagine making… What a strange situation to be in.Oh, also you profusely thank (and tip) the Jackey Frosties Man. He’s not used to this.Anyway, Xavi arrives, and the crew miraculously gets inside the van! It’s a lot of people but not for your vehicle! What an excellent machine that can hold this much weight, anyone who harbors any resentment towards it is misinformed and callous!
>>6159328During the drive, you fully inform Xavi about what is going on (the prison break), and what is about to happen (the Strangelove reunion), you all take turns chiming in — since most of the crew dedicated their time to watch it unfold. This, in turn, helped Solomon, Mama Bodil, and Dempsey understand why this happened. Now you realize how insane all of this sounds now that you say it out loud. Xavi is impressed and also mentions the possibility of farming some wishes for Naiad. You’ll keep it in mind.Inside the clinic, before even greeting you all, the receptionist notices the wounded and calls for reinforcements! This is not the type of language you should employ here, but whatever, if they act like it’s a warzone — you’ll treat it as such. Mama Bodil, Dempsey, Suan De, and Vera are all taken away to be treated. Yes, Vera too, she looked so ill from exhaustion that she was taken away too. Liu is going to make sure she’s fine! What a trusty sidekick!
>>6159332It’s only You, Scarlet, Solomon, Susie, Rora, and Xavi. After having a group of +40 people, being with 5 people feels a little lonely in comparison...At this hour of the day, you should ask permission to visit the patients — but the receptionists are busy dealing with this mess, and the other visitors, so you’re left strained in no man’s land.Well, until company joined...“Handsome, I wasn’t expecting you here today! What brings you here with your adorable friends?” It’s Kata! And she welcomes you with the same fondness as usual.“You didn’t? Didn’t Galactic tell you we were going to break into a super security prison?” You act confused. Galactic was with her the day of the call.“...W-What on earth are you talking about?” Kata is totally puzzled by this news.“It’s fine now, we figured it out, right, crew?” You turn to your team!“Absolutely! We totally did it!” Rora nods with a smile.“Everything is under control, yup!” Scarlet smiles too.“It worked out more than fine…” Neko doesn’t like being that cheerful with the others.“I didn’t do anything.” Xavi deadpans.“...R-Right. That’s why he got busy...” Kata crosses her arms. “You were involved too, shifty kitty? Couldn’t you have brought that up during dinner yesterday?”“M-Me? Why should I? It’s not my fault Space Head didn’t tell you and probably hates you. B-Besides I told Nina. I think...” Susie doesn’t remember.“Don’t talk about Galactic like that! He’s a sweetheart!” Scarlet won’t tolerate the slander! Rora agrees! Xavi is indifferent somewhat. He’ll support his friends.“There’s no way anyone can hate Kata anyway.” You add. Well, maybe there are reasons, but she’s cute, so it invalidates them all.“I-I got it, pricks. Don’t raise your voices…” Neko doesn’t like being the center of attention.“I’ll have a stern talk with my cousin, his head is always above the clouds…” Kata sighs. “But perfect timing! I have a surprise for you! Ta-dah~!” The Nurse walks two steps to the side to show her new coworker! It’s Wilma!“Hey there, Johnny, Scarlet, Xavi. It’s nice to see you!” Wilma smiles at everyone! She’s dressed as a normal nurse.“The moment I learned about this cute little thing’s credentials, I knew she’d be an instant hire.” Nurse Calamity is excited about this. “What do you say? Pretty surprising, isn’t it?”How do you respond?>“Yeah! I’m glad Wilma is improving this much!” You recall her having issues going out of the dojo, this is a remarkable improvement!>“It’s always a welcome surprise to have more cute nurses around.” Wiggle those eyebrows. Return Wilma to her natural state.>“I mean, we found Constance’s dad. I think that takes the cake as far as surprises go.” Deadpan. Drop this bomb like it’s not a big deal.>Write In.
>>6159334>>“It’s always a welcome surprise to have more cute nurses around.” Wiggle those eyebrows. Return Wilma to her natural state.>"Oh, I found Constance's dad btw"Drop it super casually
>>6159335This
>>6159336Also mention we rescued her cousin as well.
>>6159338Great idea!
>>6159335>>6159338Supporting!
>>6159335>>6159338+1, say it like the whole prison rescue was no big issue.Also, mention to Kata that Ivanna seems to be going through a critical cake withdrawal, and that she’s been self regulating with spicy snackos.
>>6159348Another good one!
You know Kata is being playful, but you have prepared a bigger surprise than this one! Though, it’s your life’s mission to acknowledge how stunning a girl is, as long as she wants to hear it! And Wilma? This tomato loves the attention…“It’s always a welcome surprise to have more cute nurses around.” You wiggle your eyebrows.“Oh Johnny, you’re always so funny…” Wilma coyly giggles, her cheeks turning a little rosy.“Hmm~? Do I notice *too* much glee in that cute cherry face?” Kata begins teasing.“Trying to deflect the attention? You’re not doing much better...” Wilma points at the OG Nurse’s face! You also called Kata cute!“Oh, I’m thriving, dear. But if you want to give me the whole spotlight, I’ll be sure to cherish it.” Nurse Calamity has bad intentions. “The prize is simply too good to pass on…”Wilma seems to regret what she said, but...“Aw, I want to be called cute too… All I got was a short kiss.” Rora laments. It wasn’t short at all!“Oh, boo-hoo to you.” Scarlet glares at the blonde girl. Both Kata and Wilma feel upstaged.“Good one on that one, by the way.” Xavi nudges you.“Don’t encourage him.” Scarlet pouts.“Why not, cutie? You don’t want a piece of this handsome steak?” Kata is confused by Bubble’s words.“Of course, she does. But there’s a time and a place.” Wilma defends her buddy!“W-We’re missing the point here!” Scarlet doesn’t like where the conversation is going. “W-We broke people out of prison for crying out loud!”“It was meh.” You think it’s too easy. “We rescued your cousin too, Kata.”“Y-You said it like it’s a matter of fact.” The OG Nurse likes your confidence, even if she finds it surprising. “Did Victor get into trouble again? Galactic is always bailing him out.” The Nurse sighs.“No, your other cousin.” You correct.“You mean Bloodi?” Kata asks.“No, your other one.” You shake your head.“Lin?” Kata wonders.“No, your other one.” You shake your head part 2.“Heidi?” Kata doesn’t believe this one!“Nope, keep trying.” You shake your head part 3.“...H-How many do you have?” Wilma is surprised by the sheer number.“S-Stop playing games, prick. Just tell her!” Neko is getting tired of standing up.“It was Misty.” You say.“Misty got in trouble with the law?! My goodness, Bloodi was right about something…!” Kata can’t believe it.“Galactic didn’t sound that surprised by it.” Scarlet points out. Misty’s mischievous nature is a known quality about her, right?
>>6159429“If you knew my dear cousin as deeply as I do, you’d know she always manages to get away with everything. A lucky soul.” Kata sighs in relief. “I supposed, in a way, she did it again…”“Cheers to that.” Xavi thinks this is a good thing.“Indeed, as I’ll cherish you all! Thank you so much!” Kata feels in debt with your entire group. “You’re in for a big treat for all your troubles! Some savory baked goodness! And Gallie, I’ll prepare his favorite for even doubting him.”“I’ll lend you a hand.” Wilma wants to help!“Thank you very much, you’re so precious!” Kata smiles back.“Speaking of baking. Remember Ivanna from the cooking contest? I saw her going through a critical cake withdrawal. She’s been self-regulating with Spicy Snackos. It was sad to see.” You look down.“Oh my, oh my. Yes, I do remember her, she was knocked out after a simple bite. Those types of memories tend to linger.” Kata chuckles. “Tell me more details...” Kata is VERY interested in knowing more.“There isn’t much to say aside that I wish I could’ve given her some more…” You feel a little guilty.“Are you suggesting that we should bake some more and help this poor suffering girl?” Kata is loving the idea already.“Maybe. I don’t want to put a wrench in your plans now.” You point out.“G-Go ahead. We’re good. We ate already!” Scarlet is trying to maintain any semblance of a diet.“Please! You’re my focus first! And there’s always space for my special treats in everyone’s tummies. Just ask this kitty.” Kata teases the tech girl. Ivanna will stand in second place...“T-That’s more of a Nina thing…” Susie denies these accusations as she wipes her mouth.“I mean, like, I wouldn’t mind bringing even more sweets to my family.” Aurora saved a lot of leftovers for the rest of the Dewitts.“Don’t mind me. I just drove them here.” Xavi shakes his head. He doesn’t want to get something he doesn’t deserve.“And the other gentleman?” Kata asks about Solomon.“If you can bake it in under 5 minutes, put it in a box with a ribbon on top. I’ll be dandy.” Solomon smiles. He’s thinking ahead of a present to his special girl.
>>6159430“Oh, I also found Constance’s dad by the way.” You drop this important fact all casually. “This is him. Say hi to the nice ladies, we all together took care of Constance.”“My utmost gratitude for your services, ladies.” Solomon does as told.“Constance’s… father…?” Kata opens her eyes so wide out of pure disbelief. “Sir, is what my handsome saying true?”“Yes. Would you like to see my Prison ID card?” Solomon chuckles.“Oh… my…” Kata turns her eyes to your group. “...WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM YOU ALL?! Why didn’t you say anything before?! This is… Aaaaah!!!” Kata is losing her mind. “Hahahahaha~!!!” Solomon bursts into laughter. He loves it.“Sorry, but, like, you didn’t give us a chance to say anything.” Rora apologizes. Scarlet nods.“Forget it! I can’t be upset!” Kata shakes her head, still flabbergasted. “Everyone…! Constance’s father is here!” She shouts to her coworkers. They start losing their minds too! Like mass hysteria, but joyful! They’re scattering all over the place to tell more people. “Wilma, bring my uncle here at once, please!”“Y-Yes, I’ll be back soon!” Wilma hastily runs.“You… You all stay put! I know you’ve been waiting for what feels like an eternity, but we need a handful of minutes.” Kata pleads with Solomon. You’ve never seen her this unprepared.“Go ahead.” Solomon chuckles. “I can tell my daughter has been well taken care of. Just make it special.”“I-I will…! I just need to…! I have to go…!” Kata runs away towards the general direction of the stairs, she’s going to meet with Constance first.“Aggh… I don’t know if she’s handling it well…” Neko is worried about the nurse.The situation is getting hectic but not less exciting! After so long, Constance will see her family soon…What do you do?>Go with Kata! Meet Constance first! You can tell she’s going to need some preparation.>Stay here and wait.>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
>>6159433>>Go with Kata! Meet Constance first! You can tell she’s going to need some preparation.
>>6159433>Go with Kata! Meet Constance first! You can tell she’s going to need some preparation.
You know it’s better to help Constance prepare than stay around and show Solomon the clinic. You’re not even an expert in that! You got lost way too many times in the bunker section! And the one who helped you out is running for the fences.“I’ll check what’s going on with her then. Hope you guys don’t mind!” You follow Kata’s hip hypnotizing footsteps!“We don’t! Bye-bye!” Rora will make sure everything is okay.“Leave Mr. Solomon to us! Say Hi to Constance!” Scarlet sighs as she accepts her fate of being left behind.“I-I should’ve gone with them… Agh, now I’m stuck with you...” Neko has bad timing.“Is that a problem?” Aurora wonders.“I-I only know one way to break the ice and I already used it…” Neko laments.“Cat pics?” Scarlet raises an eyebrow.“J-Judgmental already?! Grr, I told Nina her stupid idea would backfire… D-Doesn’t matter if we have hundreds of them, they’ll get bored!” Susie grits her teeth.“I mean, I don’t mind seeing more.” Scarlet didn’t mean to offend.“It’s ruined! I know your HORRIBLE true feelings… There’s no turning back… ever...” Susie made peace with it. And by peace, you mean loudly complaining.“D-Don’t make me feel guilty.” Scarlet shakes her head.“Oh! I know! Johnny told me you’re one of the Platinum Class Card Devas! I don’t know what that is at all! Can you tell us about it and your deck build?” Aurora smoothly feigns ignorance.“Oh! I’d love to!” Susie smiles.“Whoopsie…” Scarlet knows she’ll be trapped in some nerd shit…“No cat pictures for us then.” Solomon was interested. Bubbles feels even guiltier now…“I’m going to grab some drinks then.” Xavi expertly escapes the situation.
>>6159921Their conversation aside, you followed the nurse up the stairs, through the hallways, and into Constance’s room without her noticing. Another sign that she’s anxious about it, or that your stealth training is way too good, maybe a combination of both. Regardless, you arrive at Constance’s room! She’s all alone reading a book, well, there are signs someone was sitting next to her…“Sweetheart, there’s something I need to tell you…” Kata takes a deep breath.“Hi Kata! Hi Johnny!” Constance waves. She’s as cute as ever!“Hey Constance, I brought you a gift!” You smile.“HUH?! J-J-Johnny?!” Kata is surprised by your presence! She almost flew off like a cat touching water!“You got her a book or something? That’s very endearing on your part.” Lise shows up from behind you two.“HUH?! L-Lise?!” Kata didn’t see her coming either! She would’ve lost her footing if you didn’t catch her!“C-Chill out, girl, I was in the bathroom...” Lise doesn’t know what makes the nurse act so stressed. “Oh, Johnny, sorry I didn’t pick up or call back. My old hag had me so busy the last two days with her urgent requests. Still, I should’ve called. Guess I got lazy and forgot. But I hope what you needed me for wasn’t anything important.”Look at this naive woman… Thinking you didn’t do anything of note…How do you respond?>“Eh, it was nothing. By the way, Constance, we found your dad!” Drop the good news all casually again! It wasn’t that much of an effort!>“It’s all right. Kata, give them the news.” Adjust your glasses and enjoy the show.>“Constance, the gift is much more important than any book… We found your dad.” Take this seriously!

This is an important moment in Constance’s life, you have to take it seriously. Besides, you want to see this poor girl’s genuine smile…“It’s fine! Sit down because this is important.” You won’t bother her for now. This news triumphs all.“I’ll let Johnny take it from here...” Kata believes you’re more prepared, or at least, more deserving of delivering the news.“What is it, Johnny...?” Constance closes her book and hugs it, a little nervous.“It’s good news.” You reassure as you sit at the bottom of the bed. “Constance, the gift is much more important than any book…” You look her right in the eye and grab her hand. “We found your dad.”“My... dad?” Constance can’t process it.“Her dad?” Lise sounds confused. “HER DAD?!” Now she’s losing her mind.Both look at the Nurse for confirmation, the disbelief surpasses them! You don’t mind having doubts, good news is hard to come by.“It’s true, girls, HahHAhahAHAHa~!” Dr. Calamity shows up behind the nurse! Perfect timing! All Kata can do is nod, because she’s barely holding back the tears.“I-Is he here or what?!” Lise needs to see him to believe it.“He should be outside the room, right?” You ask the doctor.“Yes. Constance, Your father will join us as soon as you’re ready.” Dr. Calamity wants to make sure Constance is emotionally prepared.
>>6160010“Dad...” Constance is struggling to grasp it, or something else is bothering her. “Dad is waiting…”“What’s wrong, dear?” Kata notices that Constance isn’t as jubilant as one would expect.“I’m scared…” Constance can’t hide her feelings.“Scared?” Lise is wholly confused. “You always talk up the guy, what’s wrong?”“I don’t look like back then… I don’t think he’ll recognize me…” Constance is full of insecurities. “I look...”“Nonsense. Of course, he will.” Kata rubs Constance’s arms as she sits on the other side of the bed.“You look fine, Constance. If your dad can’t tell, it’s because he’s a jerk.” Lise has decided that to be the truth.“There’s nothing to be afraid of, Constance. Your father loves you no matter what. Your appearance means nothing, your health means his world.” Dr. Calamity reassures the wonderful little girl. “Trust me, I had to fend him off from barging in! HahAHaHAhahA~!”“But… Hmm...” Constance looks at her bandaged hands… Her hands fidgeting slightly…You need to step in and say something.What do you do?>“Constance, trust us. Your dad will tell.” You trust Solomon.>“Constance, you’re hella cute no matter what! You’ve always been! He’s not ready to see how pretty you are now!” Prop Constance up!

Sorry, everyone, the post is important enough that I won't be able to get it out tonight as nicely as I wanted it. I'll have it ready tomorrow!
>>6160843No worries
Only everyone’s encouragement can make a difference, and you’re included in that everyone, you must say something now to help her calm her anxiety!“Constance, you’re hella cute no matter what! He’s not ready to see how pretty you are now.” You grab her fidgeting hands again. “And aside from being cute, you’ve always been brave. This is just one more time you have to be. Smile for him, that’s all you need.”“B-Be brave and smile…?” Constance looks at everyone encouraging her which only makes her feel even shyer.“That simple.” You nod.“Hehe…” Constance is starting to feel a little silly for being so insecure. “Simple like doing my best?”“Yup, You nailed it. If it works for me, of course it’s going to work for you.” You chuckle.“A-Are you *really* sure?” Constance asks again.“Going through hardship with a modicum of hope has served all of us well, hasn’t it? Why stop now?” Dr. Calamity says. “I remember well, during the first meeting you didn’t say a word, dear Constance. Mute like the walls that surround us, dejected as one can be. It took until Young Ando showed up for you to speak in front of me. But during that day, I requested one thing from you, do you remember?”“Hmm…” Constance looks down.“To promise me to keep going.” Calamity chuckles. “Instead of nodding as I expected at best, you placed both of your hands on top of my large ones and… smiled. Tell me, shouldn't it be far easier to feel glee in front of your loved ones than with this grotesque old man? Can’t say I know anyone who thinks otherwise!”“Uncle…” Kata recalls her memories of a different event between the two. One she seems to regret.“Dr. Calamity, I don’t find you grotesque. You’re cool!” Constance disagrees with the doc’s words!“HAHahahAHAha~! And you two are the ones who made this old man believe in miracles again!” Calamity laughs to his heart’s content as he places his hands over your and Constance’s shoulders. “Your journeys truly inspire this doctor to be his best self! I can stand on one foot, can’t I?” Calamity shows he doesn’t need a cane anymore.“Yeah, believing in you is probably the easiest thing in the world, Constance.” You smile… Your mom used to say that a lot, didn’t she? Weaponizing your childhood memories for the better, what a long journey this has been for you three. From the very start to now…“Tell me about it! Anyone who bets against my lil’ sis is throwing their money down the drain.” Lise messes with Constance’s hair.“Hehehe… E-Everyone… Thank you!” Constance feels pumped!
>>6161298“And Love, if you still feel insecure, don’t take the compliments from a good-looking gentleman for granted. If anyone knows who is adorable, it’s him.” Kata winks at the mummy.“I know! He’s super cool too!” To Constance, that’s the most important trait!“That’s more like it. Feeling confident now?” Lise nudges the mummy.“Hmmm… I’m trying to...” Constance is doing what she can. “I don’t want to disappoint anyone!”“Eh, that’s more than enough.” Lise doesn’t see the big deal anymore. “You’ll see it’s gonna be easy.”“To love family is always easy.” Kata nods. Lise gives her a mixed expression, but Constance doesn’t notice, so it’s fine.“Are you ready, dear?” Dr. Calamity wants her approval.“Hmm…” Constance gives everyone one more glimpse. “O-One last thing...” Constance uses you and Lise as support to stand up off the bed. She’s holding both of your hands. “I-I’m ready, Doctor!”“HaHAHahaha~… What are we waiting for then?” Dr. Calamity opens the door… Constance’s grip tightens…Solomon Strangelove walks into the room, his eyes land on his daughter and begin tearing up, a heartwarming smile appears on his face…“Constance, is that you...?” Solomon says in hopeful disbelief.“…” Constance grips your hand ever tighter. She walks half a step backward.“P-Please, tell me it’s you… Your father can’t see through the tears…” Solomon steps forward.“…” Words can’t come out of Constance’s mouth.Solomon pockets his sunglasses and wipes his tears. Then looks at her again.You and Lise rub her back to give the little girl confidence.
>>6161299Constance smiles![Song: https://rrthiel.bandcamp.com/track/there-will-never-be-another-you-bonus ]“My little princess…!” Solomon drops to his knees. “Can I hug you…?”Constance nods…Solomon opens his arms…Constance sets herself free to jump in her father’s arms…They hug. They hug. They hug!!! Tears stream down Solomon’s face faster than the most rapid of waterfalls… Constance’s smile is still unmatched. Father and daughter are reunited once again.“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry… Your father is such a fool. Please, forgive me…” Solomon kisses his daughter on the top of her head.“Dad… dad… dad!!!” Constance is wailing too… She doesn’t care one bit about forgiveness, it’s all about being together again. “I-I love you…! P-P-Please don’t leave me again…!”“I love you too, my sunshine through the clouds…” Solomon picks her up. “My god! I love you so much…” The man’s voice cracks. Nobody said that crying is pretty. “I can’t believe how much I love you…” They’re not listening to each other, are they? Who cares anyway? It’s their moment.“Hehehehehe~…” Constance enjoys her time in her father’s arms...“My world makes sense again… Oh, yes, it does...” Solomon will never let his daughter go.…Doctor Calamity is all smiles. Kata is tearing up by his shoulder. You and Lise are watching with your hearts feeling the warmth…Outside, Scarlet and Aurora are crying while hugging each other like watching an emotional drama. Neko has a cat (Boopies) in her arms and tears are going down both faces, she’s probably recording this. Crossbill can’t stop grinning. Vera appears just in time to add this moment to her collection, while the brave Liu stands by her. Odetta is consoling Jaylene, who is a bigger mess than the people who should be crying here…Xavi’s little Fairy — Naiad — gathers a New Star….Constance’s Wish has been fulfilled. You have reunited her with her family!—Congratulations. It’s been a long time in the making! Thank you for accomplishing this!—…?>Linger here for a bit. You know Constance would appreciate you sticking around.>Let the Strangeloves have their moment. You have another family reunion to watch, one more calamitous. (All the Calamities in one place.)>Let the Strangeloves have their moment. You have another reunion, the one with a painting and her anti-hero.

What a beautiful emotional scene, you better not ruin it by overstaying your welcome. You share a glance with Doctor Calamity and his niece, and just like that you are on the same page. You all congratulate Constance and her father for their reunion, then make it clear that you’re going to give them some privacy.“Thank you… *sniff*, Everyone.” The emotional volleyball is holding her father’s hand for support. “Johnny, Doctor, Kata, Lise…” Constance wants to mention everyone, but she just can’t.“I’m in debt to all of you…” Solomon feels the joy only a parent could have.“I did what was expected of someone like me.” Dr. Calamity remains humble. “It’s everyone else that should get your acknowledgement.”“It can wait. Just be happy together. That’s why we did this for you.” You don’t want to over-complicate things.“He’s right.” Lise starts walking away. “And to all the snoopers, out of here too!” She doesn’t want anyone here either!“Y-You’re really too mean sometimes!” Snooper Scarlet can’t believe this. The other Snoopers play fool, except Jaylene, she’s still crying on Odetta’s shoulder. Poor ghost can barely hear anything that’s going on, she’ll probably appreciate Vera’s recording.“D-Don’t be rude to them, I’m happy that they care…” Constance can’t hate anyone!“Sweetie, it’s not selfish to want to spend your time alone with whoever you please.” Kata reassures. “Just enjoy yourselves. We’ll be around. But you know that, don’t you?”“Mhm!” Constance nods and smiles. “P-Please, come back later! There’s something I want to show you!”“We will, Constance. Have fun!” You wave goodbye to the others and leave the Strangeloves to reconnect…Once outside in the hallway, Dr. Calamity calls you to the side of the dispersing crowd of friends and diverse onlookers. The gigantic man wants to properly reward you for what you’ve done. From helping Constance from the beginning to this recent Misty rescue. He seems to have come fresh from a conversation with the former prisoner. Declining politely for compensation is useless, so you agreed to talk with him once he has free time again. He’s the head of the clinic, he doesn’t have as much time as he would like..After parting ways with the doctor, you find yourself alone for the first time in a while. The two reunions you’ve been part of (three if you count your own with Crossbill), have left you in a contemplative mood. Maybe a little fresh air is going to help sort out your thoughts.…You make your way to the rooftop. The altitude has always helped clear your mind at the oddest or most tumultuous of moments. This time is different, you’re here to chill…What a day.

You look down at the city lights below the building, you don’t see much but your alleged relatives (lamp posts), neon lights from a couple of stores, and the very few cars that are roaming around. The Clinic is one of the tallest buildings on this side of town, the old neighborhood has strict building height restrictions. It’s the main reason it can stay as it is for so long, that and the backlash from destroying historical buildings. This will be the sole moment you’re going to appreciate the fact that there’s hardly any light pollution and the amount of trees around. Roaming through all the city has given you a new perspective on how strange city planning is. You welcome the variety though…Enough of self-serving thoughts, better reflect on something that truly matters. The problem is that you’ve done so much, you don’t know where to begin! Maybe Philonune has some ideas.“Partner, you put it well without meaning to. The quantity of our victories speaks for itself, our lofty ambitions have taken us far, and our enemies have paid greatly. And we see the fruit of our labor.” Philonune sounds like one confident ball of fire. “Last time, when we marveled at the sight of the city we swore to defend, I felt an underlying hostility rummaging under our feet. It wasn’t meant to be our job. But now, no one can deny our call as this land’s protectors.”“Philo, we broke into prison, not exactly heroic behavior.” You have to be humble.“We slayed a rampaging beast. The first seed of a larger conspiracy. Our enemies were left to weep, I’m sure.” Philonune reminds you of the last bit of the adventure. “But what makes your heart grow fonder is what we’ve done for our allies, does it not?”“I never thought we could do this much, and it could mean this much to others.” You set a goal and did it, what a concept.“We proved wrong the ones we wanted to prove wrong. And we proved right the ones who supported us from the very beginning.” Philonune smiles. “Young Constance, I’m fond of her like no other, Partner. There’s no reward like bringing her glee.”“Really?” This surprises you! He doesn’t say much.“I’m surprisingly vain, partner. She’s the only one who acknowledges my presence each time we see her.” Philonune recalls every single hand-waving from the mummy! “And of course, her loyalty is unrivaled. Kindness to boot? This warrior has only praise.”“She’s that special to everyone…” Makes you regret not spending too much time with her.“No regrets, partner. We have allies aplenty, some of whom have supported her in our stead. It’s through everyone’s efforts that we made this possible.” Philonune doesn’t want you to feel guilt. “But our efforts are far from done. This world is still in peril.”“Yeah, it’s way easier to feel confident when you have everyone’s help.” You believe it’s a dumb thing to say, but it doesn’t make it less true.
>>6162698“For more victories, part—” Philonune gets distracted. “Look over there.”“Huh? Danger?” You don’t feel him on edge. It’s likely something stupid.“A snowman!” Philonune points at it. There’s still snow in the city?! Could it mean whoever is messing with the climate is still around?! Or just that the snow survived… that can be a thing too. “And it’s cursed with your image.”“With this heat? What?” You pay attention down below. And true! There’s a NEW Johnny Snowman! Who made it?! A new mystery is in hand! One you have to resolve, you don’t have the end of days lurking tomorrow this time around. “Hey, what do you mean by cursed?”“Partner, I think I’ve found the culprit! It’s right there!” Philonune ignores you to point forward with his round puffy hands to the brilliant sculptor of this magnificent piece!You can’t believe it! It’s a member of your fanclub! She has her appearance concealed with one of those masks that they used when they kidnapped you! The mystery thickens!Wait, there’s someone you know confronting them!Who is confronting the Mysterious Johnny Snowman Builder?!>Clutz! Err, you should say ‘Vortexia’ instead. She’s your talent.>The Buffalo! Err, you should say it’s ‘Crossbill’ instead. She’s the one actually talking to her.>Pannie! Of being Carol’s sister fame AND a great hugger! What is she doing here?!>Cocoa! The cop is doing cop things! Well, the masked assailant looks suspicious…>Write In!What should you do next?>Confront the Snowman Builder!>Continue spending time alone reflecting. It’s cozy. Nobody should interrupt you. Ask Philonune who his favorite people are.>Call Vera on the phone, tell her to get a hold of her girls.>Find Odetta. You have to do the Oliver and Jaylene reunion.>Find Dr. Calamity. He said he wanted to talk, and you’ll oblige.>Write In.

You can’t believe it! The person arguing with that supposed fangirl of yours is none other than Pansori! Carol’s huggable sister! Well, you actually believe it because they’re not arguing, they’re having a pleasant conversation. Maybe it’s about you? You can feel it, Pannie is complimenting the Snowman’s shape — but that thing is all wrong, you don’t have a drill nose. Also, you have legs. Anyway, they seem to be having a fun time. Good for them.“Do you believe you should bring this up to the leader of the Fanclub?” Philonune means Vera.“Eh. Maybe later. I prefer if we continue relaxing.” You aren’t in a rush. You gotta enjoy the fresh air these trees are providing. “Ever since you mentioned how much you enjoy being around Constance, I’ve been wondering. Who are your favorite people you’ve met?”“Of our human allies?” Philonune needs you to clarify.“If you want throw some entities into the mix, I’m open to it.” You shrug. It’s not like you two spend time talking to those freaks.“I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that during our otherworldly meetings, I have grown acquainted with some of them. Proximity helps.” Philonune lets you know.“Like who?” You recall this being a thing, but not much detail aside from it. “Of our most immediate allies I have to mention Bastet. We always end up in the same places.” Philonune chuckles. That’s Susie’s entity, you two way back.“This is pretty cool, I picture you two like a sports commentator duo for some reason.” You nod.“...Why?” Philonune is dumbfounded.“It’s a vibe, Philo. It’s not supposed to make too much sense.” You argue. “Bet you’re really happy we helped her friend.”“Ah, yes, our disciple. We should be strict with her.” Philonune wants to teach Ichie some lessons. “She has the determination, but being hungry for praise can lead you astray.”“Honestly, as long as they get along, I’d be happy.” You don’t want to put pressure on them. You don’t want another Icioba situation like with Nina. “Do you get along with Saraswati?”“No.” Philonune deadpans.“Anyone else?” You raise an eyebrow. There are plenty of entities you’ve met.“We were just the two of us at first, but Welimor, Naiad, San Wich, Aircalibor, and Morax joined us.” Philonune explains.“Who are the last two?” You don’t remember.“If my memory serves me correctly, Aircalibor partnered up with the man named Charlie, and Morax partnered with one of the women you copulated with, Vivienne.” Philonune recalls. “It’s unbelievable we ended up meeting San Wich!”
>>6162826“Wait, you met San WIch BEFORE we found Wilma?” You raise an eyebrow. How does that even work? Are entities more friendly than humans?! And more importantly, why didn’t he mention it before?! “Anyone else you’re dying to meet that you haven’t from over there?”“We have the same restrictions, partner. We realized it much later once we spent some time talking. Codenames are aplenty.” Philonune explains. “Perhaps, we’ll meet on the battlefield, perhaps not, I rather not know. I prefer if we don’t.”“We can always befriend them.” You’re open to it. You don’t imagine anyone befriending him being evil… except Bastet. “Okay, let’s track back to humans. Give me your favs aside from Constance.”“There are plenty who try to acknowledge my presence if they can’t hear my retorts like Scarlet and Yu Yan who I immensely appreciate.” Philonune likes Bubbles and the smug one! “Also, the one we just saved, Crossbill. She grabbed me gently… unlike the Judge under Ethempress’ influence.” Philonune does not like Giorsal. “Who else? Oh yes, the Healer.” Your partner likes Dr. Calamity too! “The retired fighter who owns the property we live in.” He means Craig! What an interesting shout-out. “Your little sister as well.” No comments from you. “And at last… the policemen from the other dimension: Kobashi and Yareli.”“Interesting list.” You don’t know how to feel about it. All you know is that… Philonune likes to pretend he doesn’t know anyone’s names, but he does! Why?! Guy can be quirky, you guess.“There are plenty more, I don’t have the time to mention. But I harbor the same appreciation as you do for them.” Philonune clarifies that he’s all in for everyone you care about. “I have to mention, I may have a special fondness for those who sing…” You can feel he’s thinking about Carol, Debbie, Vortexia, and Nina… “Perhaps… we have too many allies. We should build an army.”“It is kinda…” You chuckle.“Regardless, we should return to them.” Philonune appreciated the time to talk, but thinks it’s over.“Just for the sake of this partnership, I’ll agree.” You’ll miss the stars… Well, Dream Hill is on the horizon…Back inside the Clinic, you search for Spooky and her spooky sister after receiving a message informing you of Oliver’s arrival! The reunion between these two is drawing closer! Good news, you find Odetta one floor below the rooftop, bad news, she’s alone.“W-Where’s Jaylene?” You break the ice in the least subtle way possible.“Huh, I thought I was your favorite of the two.” Odetta jokes. “Real answer, Your boss —the ol’ good doctor —hates her guts, so they locked her in the basement. We can pick her up when we leave.”“Y-You’re kidding, right?” You don’t think she’s in the bunker, is she?
>>6162828“What? No.” Odetta shakes her head. “She tried to kidnap the poor injured girl we were all getting emotional about once like months ago, and the dumbass didn’t tell me until she was taken away.”“Why aren’t you with her?” You ask.“Well, dear Johnny, look at the palm of my hand…” Odetta opens it in front of you. “What do you see?”“Huh, nothing?” You’re wondering where this is going.“Exactly. That’s all I got for you.” Odetta shrugs. She didn’t want to be locked up.…Even if Oliver lost his status as persona non-grata, it doesn’t mean the same goes for Jaylene. They did try to kill you and the doctor…What do you do?>Tell Odetta that Oliver is here. Bring him to the bunker.>Tell Odetta that Oliver is here. Unnecessarily sneak Jaylene out of the building.>Don’t tell Odetta that Oliver is here. Drag her to meet him on the first floor.>Ask Odetta why she’s even here to begin with.>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
